Homesickness

In this episode, the derailment arrives right on schedule — but before anything else, we just want to say thank you. Fifty episodes in, and we’re genuinely grateful to everyone who’s listened, shared, messaged, sent voice notes, or simply kept showing up. The love and support over the past 50 episodes has meant more to us than we probably ever say properly — so thank you for being part of this with us.

Now, back to the nonsense — welcome to Out of Context Weekly Scenarios, where things unravel quickly and proudly.

This week’s curiosities come in two very different, but equally unnecessary flavours:

Imran opens with his Out of Context Weekly Scenario — The Cup, the Door, and the Wall. A surreal moment involving having to provide a urine sample by placing a cup through a small door in a wall. It’s a story that raises more questions than it answers, and somehow manages to be both deeply awkward and strangely procedural.

Meanwhile, Shaun shares his own gym-based experience with The Cold Shower Choir. Three fully grown lads screaming in unison after being hit with freezing cold water. A moment that’s equal parts shocking, hilarious, and oddly human — reminding us that no one is ever truly prepared for gym showers.

Our Topic of the Week is Homesickness. We talk openly about what it feels like, how it shows up unexpectedly, and the different ways we’ve learned to deal with it over time. We also spend time listening to and reflecting on messages and voice notes from you — our listeners — sharing your own experiences, coping mechanisms, and the quiet moments where missing home hits hardest.

That’s all for this week — a reflective one, a slightly chaotic one, and one we couldn’t have done without you.

As always, it’s just the two of us — chatting nonsense, pulling at loose threads, and trying to make sense of the moments that feel small at the time but somehow end up meaning everything.
