SugaBros & The James Bond Cocktail Hour

180 episodes - English - Latest episode: 12 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1 rating

SUGABROS: A look at the most popular British girl group of the 2000s from two men completely unqualified for the task. Join hosts Tim and Nemo as they stumble through discussions of musical terms they can't remember, gender politics they have no authority to speak on, and, in one host's case, consistently mispronounce the names of the people whose work they are analysing.

THE JAMES BOND COCKTAIL HOUR: Every episode hosts Hugh and Tim take a deep dive into the world of everything Bond. From the books, to the films, video games, parodies and beyond. As far as guests on the show, expect a wide range of opinions, from adoration to complete indifference.

In a break from their previously claustrophobic collaborations, Tim and Nemo do a phone-in show. Teda-teda, teda-teda, teda-teda...

One foot in... indeed!  This song has Tim and Nemo spinning around - for very different reasons. HEALTH NOTE: Nemo is now fully recovered from his injury.

SUGABROS: Overload

June 02, 2019 22:20 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

One is a fan. The other is not. Together this unlikely duo are the SugaBros. The result of a 20 minute argument in a Wendy’s, friends Tim and Nemo are taking an in-depth look at the Sugababes, covering every song they ever released (b-sides included). It’s ridiculous, it’s silly & it might help its hosts turn into more sensitive human beings. Welcome to the SugaBros!
