Episode Synopsis

Episode 9 pours Bia Saigon while Cliff and Pete attempt to rank music history’s giants. We run a noisy Top 10 conversation — from The Beatles and Queen to Drake, Eminem and Taylor Swift — and explain why sales, streaming and fandom make that list messy. Alongside the music hall of fame we cover: the flooding in Vietnam, Saigon’s beer scene, Australia’s under-16s social-media ban debate (TikTok vs Facebook), classroom device control, grooming & parental responsibility, online gaming nostalgia (Gameboy!), and random delights like the Guinness Book of Records, Whoopee cushions, Hovis bread, Record Breakers and Roy Castle. Plus: cushiest jobs, Mount Everest, a “Katniss vs Legolas” who-would-win, and a Dvořák curveball. It’s wide, it’s loud, and it’s slightly argumentative — just how we like it.Contact Pints of View via our Facebook page & group:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581833338165Bia Siagon (Bia Saigon) — Vietnamese lager spotlight.
