Vegetarian Update, self-dentist, Mick & Dan On the Ball, The End

This week, we get an update on Micky’s vegetarian diet. Did he stick to it? How did he find it? Has he aged in a week? Can he possibly age even more?

And the boys discuss self-dentistry, decorating, late 80s football magazine, On the Ball with Mick and Dan, and at what age do you start preparing for the end? When do you start shutting email accounts down and shredding private papers?

Please Don’t Hug Me is presented by writer & comedian Daniel Ruiz Tizon and former 1980s school sprint champ, Micky Boyd.

They’re growing old and they don’t like it.

Fiona, Fish smell in communal hallway, Sandwich Routes, Daniel's Pants, Roisin, Suspicious Sigh

Please Don't Hug Me is written and produced by TV writer, comedian, Sabotage Times columnist, sometime football journalist and all too often temporary office worker, Daniel Ruiz Tizon. He is joined every week by old school friend and 1980s school sprint champion, Micky Boyd, who still believes in him.

Each blames the other for the 13-year break in their friendship from 1990 to 2003. When reunited, Daniel found Micky to be an overweight family man; whilst the former sprint champ found Daniel convinced he was one half of Tears For Fears.

This week, the show without a home is back in Clapham where Daniel is taken aback by a rather fishy smell in comedienne Fiona Hardingham's home. Sandwich Routes transports us back to 1989, Belmore Street SW8, where Daniel realises he wasn't actually having sandwiches during his college days.

There's also comedienne and writer Roisin Rae on reliving her childhood through her own kids, whilst Daniel tries to wrestle control of his pants.
