Q&A
Strap in for another bangin episode of the **Golden Looking Chain Podcast**, where your favourite lyrical legends are scratchin more than just vinyl. We kick things off with a scratch card - that’s right, we do the gambling so you don't lose your nan's pension.Then it’s **Q\&A time**. Fans hit us up with the deep ones: how we write them, what it’s like smellin’ each other on tour (spoiler: Lynx Africa ain't magic), and whether fame's all it's cracked up to be (hint: it mostly involves horrible food and paranoia).We even dive headfirst into a **heavyweight debate** about the **UK's best motorway services**—Tebay vs. Gloucester, fight me.Expect **deep chats, bad jokes, and musical wisdom**. It’s like therapy, but with more tracksuits and less cryin’. Safe.Tiny Rebel are supporting our podcast.
