Subscribe now, to get access to all previous double shots and be in pole position for when season 3 arrives in January.

THIS EPISODE WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 14/9/2022 In this episode, Bruce and @TheRealDrKev catch up with each other from different sides of the globe. With Bruce in San Antonio, Texas, in the middle of Iron Maiden’s world tour, Kev has a unique opportunity to treat him as one of his ‘guinea pigs’ and delve deep into the psychology of one of the rock world’s true global icons. Kev identifies Bruce as one of the toughest people he’s ever met (and, given some of the folk he hangs around with, that’s saying something!) But where does that toughness come from? Bruce talks about his childhood in the north of England; about how discipline, resilience and humility are the keys to longevity in the ego-infested waters of the music business; and how a bulb of steamed garlic always helps him ‘come down’ after a show! Bruce & Kev rarely talk in a straight line and their fascinating conversation has all the familiar twists and turns that we’ve now come to expect! Bruce reveals how he once fought off two skinheads outside a pub by fencing them with his umbrella; why airline pilots never eat the same dinner; and how our ego is like a balloon…it shouldn’t be pumped up too big, it should be let back down again slowly to prevent it flying all over the place, and if it comes into contact with a prick it has a tendency to explode!

Episode 26 - Algorhythm and Blues with Dr. Michael Brooks
Maths is everywhere. It allows us to fly planes, make music, initiate the perfect lunge in fencing, and add up all the numbers on a roulette wheel (the total comes to 666, by the way.) All the things that Bruce loves…so shame he got a C in it for his GCSE! In this, the final episode of the series then, Bruce and @TheRealDrKev attend to some unfinished business as they are joined by the writer and quantum physicist, Dr Michael Brooks, bearing weapons of math instruction. What exactly is maths, they ask? Did we discover it or invent it? Is it out there in the ‘real world’ or just ‘in our heads’? As they start to put two and two together, they pick up some ingenious life hacks…how choosing numbers over 31 can maximise your chances of winning a jackpot on the lottery; how the ‘37% Rule’ can help you find your ideal home, car, or partner; and, in the Philosophy World Cup, why Heisenberg should never take a penalty and Schrödinger managed to score 2 goals simultaneously. Dr Michael Brooks is the bestselling author of The Maths That Made Us: How Numbers Created Civilisation (published as "The Art of More" in the US). He is co-host (with Radio 5 Live breakfast show host Rick Edwards) of the Eureka! podcast.

Episode 25 - Psycho Killer…Qu’est-ce que c’est? With Dr. Scott Bonn
The Night Stalker. Son of Sam. The Zodiac Killer. For centuries, serial killers have terrified and fascinated us in equal measure. But why? What is it about the Hannibal Lecters and Ted Bundys of this world that so captures our imagination? In this episode of Psycho Schizo Espresso, Bruce and @TheRealDrKev are joined by the criminologist and serial killer expert, Dr. Scott Bonn – a man who has actually sat down and eaten cheeseburgers with the Son of Sam, .44 Caliber Killer, David Berkowitz, and entered into extensive correspondence with the pure sadistic psychopath, Dennis ‘Bind Torture Kill (BTK)’ Rader, who, for the past 17 years, has been under 23-hrs a day Supermax lockdown in Kansas - to talk about all things serial-killer related. Be warned. If you thought the last episode with one of the world’s top forensic pathologists was chilling, this one kicks it up a notch and then some. Among other questions, Kev & Bruce ask: Does ‘evil’ really exist or does everything just boil down to neurochemistry? In recent years, have terrorists and spree-killers taken over from “A-List” serial killers as our bogeymen of choice? What’s with “Murderabilia”: Jeffrey Dahmer’s glasses recently came up for auction for $150, 000? And, last but not least: Is it true that serial killers fart more than the rest of us?

Episode 24 - Lifting the Lid on Death with Roger Byard
As one of the world’s foremost forensic pathologists, Professor Roger Byard is a man who has given his life to death. In his 40 years at the coalface of mortality, there’s not much he hasn’t seen…serial killers, cot deaths, the 2002 Bali bombings, the 2004 southeast Asian tsunami. In this episode of Psycho Schizo Espresso, he joins Bruce and @TheRealDrKev to reflect on his journey through death that began over 4000 autopsies ago! As you can imagine, the conversation is wide-ranging and takes in the tragic, the creepy, the ridiculous, and sometimes, the mysterious and (as yet) still unexplained, as Roger gives us a guided tour around death stopping off at sexual asphyxiation, death by animal, death by selfie, and death through sorcery and ritual magic. Among other questions, Kev & Bruce ask: How lifelike are those shows about forensic pathologists that we see on TV? And, er, rather worryingly: “Is there really such a thing as the ‘perfect murder’?” But they start, quite literally, with a ‘bang’ and something that has fascinated them both for years…the rather hot topic of spontaneous human combustion!

Episode 23 - From The Moshpit To The Cockpit… & Everywhere in Between: Aces High with RAF Top Gun Fin Monahan
Bruce and @TheRealDrKev are joined by the legendary RAF fighter pilot, chief instructor, and Red Arrows Commanding Officer, Fin Monahan DFC, who talks them through precisely what it takes - both physically and psychologically - to be a real life Top Gun, and what a bad day at the office looks like at Mach 1 over the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan. As you can imagine, Bruce & Kev are really, ahem, flying in this episode! What’s the difference between the mindset of a commercial airlines pilot and that of an elite military flying ace, they ask? What elevates your regular, everyday swashbuckling aviator to one with a DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross) to their name? Most importantly if all…how the hell do you have a pee in a Harrier jump jet?

Episode 22 - First Impressions with Rory Bremner
In this episode of Psycho Schizo Espresso, Bruce and @TheRealDrKev are joined by one of the UK’s greatest and best-known impressionists and comedians, Rory Bremner, as they explore the psychology of imitation and examine precisely what it takes to be a good mimic. Are some of us just ‘born’ impressionists? As they delve ever deeper into the mysteries of the voice, Bruce & Kev break genuinely new ground in this largely uncharted area of human psychology. Do you, they ask Rory, need to put yourself in the ‘mind’ of your subject by actually watching them speak…or can you just ‘do their voice’ blind? Does Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) aid comic creativity? And has he ever been tempted to alter the course of history by putting in a hoax call to a world leader…?

Episode 20 - Kukri School with Krishna Thapa
In this episode of Psycho Schizo Espresso, Bruce and & @TheRealDrKev are joined by Special Forces legend Krish Thapa, one of the first Gurkhas to pass SAS selection and almost certainly the only Buddhist monk to pass it! Growing up as a young boy in the Himalayas, Krish eventually ended up serving 17 years in the British Special Air Service and commanding Mountain Troop, a crack squad of world class climbers and skiers skilled in the art of polar and high altitude warfare. Krish talks to Kev and Bruce about the spiritual side of soldiering, the culture shock of leaving Nepal for the distant shores of Cool Britannia in the mid-Nineties, and about his new mission helping those with mental and physical disabilities climb Everest. Guns, knives, souls, and hidden messages…this is ‘one with everything’. Ahem, see what we did there..?

Episode 19 - Gumball Wizard: Reins, Grains and Automobiles with Jodie Kidd
Bruce and @TheRealDrKev are joined by former horsewoman, supermodel, and racing driver Jodie Kidd…and can’t believe their luck when they discover that she’s also the proud landlady of an award-winning gastropub with its very own beer! In the process of trying to blag themselves a table, Kev and Bruce delve into precisely what it takes to strut one’s stuff on Chanel’s iconic catwalk and explore similarities in mindset between the world’s top models and elite sportspeople. Most of us learn to walk at an early age – but are some of us just better at it than others? Is enhanced body awareness something that leading fashionistas, champion showjumpers, and Formula 1superstars have in common? And what about the dark side of modelling: depression, substance abuse, and eating disorders? As Kev tries to rope Bruce into the kooky chaos of the madcap Gumball Rally, and Jodie confesses an interest in flying, we discover that when it comes to the psychology of runways aviation and haute couture aren’t quite as different as they seem.

Episode 18 - Monet, Monet, Monet – It’s A Rich Man’s World: Pigments Of The Imagination With One Of The World’s Top Art Forgers, David Henty
David Henty was such a brilliant art forger that when he got out of prison – and no, he wasn’t ‘framed’ – people started asking him for authentic David Henty forgeries of Picasso, Dali, and other ‘wall of famers’ to hang in their homes and offices. In this episode he joins Bruce & @TheRealDrKev to explain how an early ‘brush’ with the law as a passport forger propelled him into the world of fine art; how his photographic memory means he only needs to glance at a painting once in order to recreate it; how cover bands and art forgers really aren’t all that different from each other; how forgers are better placed than psychologists to get into the minds of the Old Masters …and how, if Kev & Bruce ever fall on hard times, there’s a Picasso with their name on it in his studio.

Episode 17 - Sexbot, Sexbot, You’re My Sexbot (and Baby, You Can Turn Me On)
After exploring the wormholes and warp drives of human intelligence in the previous episode, @TheRealDrKev and Bruce beam themselves up into the virtual world of artificial intelligence. The questions they ponder are so deep they trigger the development of entirely new areas of the brain! Could rock bands of the future be one day made up entirely of robots? Ahem…are there some out there already? If advanced robotic creations develop a belief in God then what kind of God would it be? Would it be one of the gods we’ve actually already ‘got’…or would we have a new supreme being on our playlists? And how about this: If you found out that your partner was cheating on you with an extremely lifelike sexbot would it count as infidelity? More importantly, should someone be picking up the phone to Tom Jones…?

Why Do Cats Sh*t In a Box? Prof. Mike Anderson Part 2
Bruce and @TheRealDrKev continue their deep dive into the shadowy world of intelligence with world-renowned cognitive scientist Mike Anderson. In Part Two the spotlight falls on what, precisely, intelligence is…illuminating, in turn, the spectrums of both animal and artificial intelligence. Is ‘true intelligence’ only possible in humans, Bruce and Kev ask? Is intelligence overrated: Is it really as important as we all seem to think? What, exactly, do we mean by ‘genius’’? And how come some of us are able to recite the number pi to 3 million decimal places but find it impossible to order a ham sandwich for lunch?

World-renowned cognitive scientist Professor Mike Anderson joins the podcast to talk to us about one of psychology’s most controversial topics: Intelligence. @TheRealDrKev, Bruce and Mike tackle all the big questions head on. ‘What exactly is Intelligence?’ they ask. ‘What can computers and smart phones tell us about our brains?’ ‘Is there such a thing as an optimal level of intelligence?’ ‘Are intelligent people happier?’ And: ‘Is intelligence like underwear: good to have but better not to show off?’ You can listen to and watch longer episodes of Psycho Schizo Espresso AD FREE if you become a Patreon at www.patreon.com/psychoschizoespresso To access the YouTube version of this episode ofPsycho Schizo Espresso, please visit https://youtu.be/wA_guPNYGKk Please make sure you like, subscribe, rate, review and comment wherever you get your Podcasts from.

Episode 8 - A Smooth Operator
Psychopaths are usually known for breaking hearts, not mending them. But Professor Stephen Westaby is different. In Episode 8, Bruce and @TheRealDrKev are joined by the renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, and diagnosed psychopath, who relished doing battle with the Grim Reaper on the bloodiest, most inhospitable fringes of life and death. Taking on cases that would have other surgeons pissing their pants, Westaby pissed in his boots – via a catheter – so he wouldn’t have to leave the operating table at crucial moments. Sometimes the surgical genius didn’t even gown up – performing operations in his rugby kit while belting out Pink Floyd in the operating theatre. Join us for this if you dare…proof that there’s a very fine line between those who wield the knife to save and those who wield it to kill!

Kev and Bruce also delve deeper into Andy’s psychopathic tendencies and hear how a trip to the pub one afternoon almost resulted in “a level of physical violence you never knew existed”; how Andy once met himself chatting up a couple of girls at a literary festival (and was delighted to observe himself doing rather well!); and how, in recent years, his ability to empathise with others has received a boost from a rather unusual source...emojis!

Episode 5 - Is The Mafia a Good Thing? With Professor Dominic Abrams
Bruce and @TheRealDrKev discuss the secret life of groups, cults & crowds with one of the world’s top social psychologists, Professor Dominic Abrams. They ask: Are groups a “necessary evil”...could the world exist without them? When do groups become dangerous? Why do some groups pack more of an “us/them” vibe than others (think football fans, political parties, religious denominations)? What can we learn from the mysterious psychological alchemy of cults? And...are governments losing control of groups within society? If so, are organisations such as the Mafia really such a bad thing?
