Zzzzzzz.. huh.. wha? Oh, uh it's episode six!
This time the boys try to talk about anything other than Robbie Williams's sixth solo album, 2005's interminable snoozefest, Intensive Care. This time Robbie breaks off from longtime songwriting partner Guy Chambers and shacks up with forgotten 80s hitmaker Stephen Duffy for a Human-League inspired odyssey into synthesiser blandness. When they're not distracted by how much more interesting literally anything else is, the gang take a fine-tooth comb to figure out what went wrong here and why. Is Matthew unfairly persecuted for his defense of the track Radio? What landmark 90s classic album did Robbie try to emulate? Why did we have to cut 15 minutes from the middle of the episode? Make some strong coffee and prop your eyelids open with toothpicks for a deep-dive into Robbie's most slumberous album.
(Down The Robbie Hole was recorded from 2019-2020)
