Nick and James are two adult males who are baffled by what that means. Both recently became dads, and are working that out, too.

Join them as they try to capture quixotic times, work through some hang-ups, and try to pre-emptively explain themselves to the surly future teen versions of their infant offspring.

    #141 – I Hate Nazis Though

    Nick and James take a bold stance on Nazis. I mean apparently it is a bold stance on Nazis in 2017, so that gag no longer makes any sense. Also, they talk about Pixar vs Dreamworks, and the ennui of children.

    #140 – Your Opinions On The Extension To The M3 Motorway

    If the M3 had a bus lane, we would probably throw our parents onto it. In our first episode in a long time, Nick stumbles into a therapy session with James.

    No shownotes for this episode, because our ramble doesn’t really head into any real definitive territory. But we’re very glad to be back!

    Nick and James have some fun, and then Nick introduces a subject that probably needs a content warning.

2 Great Men

Nick and James, and James and Nick come to mention it, are both great podcasters and great guys in general. Their chats, sometimes incredibly focussed and sometimes completely off the beaten track, are always funny, intriguing and thought provoking. It's always a joy to listen to a new episode.

Bloody Brilliant!

Anything I say about the show is going to make it sound boring, but it absolutely isn't! Nick & James are wonderful and funny and insightful and interesting and *insert other flattering things here*

Love this show!

I listen to loads of Podcasts and by far 2 Grown Men is the ONLY one that talks to me as a insecure middle aged balding grey man. It’s good to share my insecurities once a week!
