28. Calling My Bro (with Ólafur Birgir)

Calling Munro ·

2020/12/07

Today we call Munro.... or do we? In this ultra-special episode we discuss fatherhood, making money off various pieces of dubious intellectual property, Magnus Carlsen, the number of darts in a set, tournament winnings, the hardest sport, being good at various things, why the olympics are stupid, mountaineering, weight loss, and pretty much everything related to legendary sporting achievement. We also explore other avenues of culture and entrepreneurship by marinading our brainboxes in thoughts of

27. The bad episode where Ragnar is unappreciated

Calling Munro ·

2020/11/30

In today's soul-crushing episode Ragnar has great discussion topics and presents them lucidly and in entertaining fashion, but gets nothing but vitriol, mockery, and abuse in return. Ragnar muses on carrot cake, he teaches the boys about oysters and pearls, and he helps the others realize that milk and honey are products of slave labor. Due to Ragnar's great conversational skills, the boys also discuss fines, hot people tricking you into drinking and driving, water levels, mayonnaise alchemy, they

26. The poo-less episode

Calling Munro ·

2020/11/23

Good morning dear friends. Today on this glorious Monday we celebrate our SIX MONTH ANNIVERSARY! To mark the occasion we talk about various things. These things include, but are not limited to, drug dealers, Professor David Nutt, the neuroscience of helmet use, Midsomer Murders, and various forms of football. We debate the merits of vets and doctors which really sheds light on Guðjón's lack of empathy, and we discuss snitching which really sheds light on Munro's views on Edward Snowden. We close it

25. "In short, I would worry"

Calling Munro ·

2020/11/16

This week we keep it short and sweet, sort of. We begin by dissecting annoying people (metaphorically) and we determine when they're more and when they're less annoying. We also discuss certain individuals who should probably not have done the things they did in the manner that they did them, and we determine whether there are any indications that Ragnar's giardia test won't go quite like any of us would like to hope. Munro's excellent doctoring skills once again shine ever so bright. We watch a

24. The Greatest Human Achievement

Calling Munro ·

2020/11/09

In today's jam-packed 'sode, we kick it off with a discussion of Guy Fawkes, cheese rolling, and barrel burning, which eventually results in an official endorsement of chaos, looting, and rioting. As our title suggests, we also wonder what takes the cake as the single greatest human achievement, before we answer the age-old question of whether you can get athlete's foot in the jungle. We throw around a bunch of words like chalazion and dihydrogen oxide before diving deep into the philosophy of Men

23. A sphincter is not a valve

Calling Munro ·

2020/11/02

In today's episode we talk too much about poop, probably. Nothing new there. We talk about other things too, though, like ceilidhs, polygamy, smelling diseases, and behavioural economics. We figure out how to maximize the amount of you there is to love, table snacks are for some ridiculous reason a thing, and Munro officially wants the FCC's Fairness Doctrine adopted on the podcast. Our skills are sort of bad but, again, they might save your life one day. If that's not enough for you then stay tuned

22. Four AMAZING things this BODY PART says about you!

Calling Munro ·

2020/10/26

This week's episode is great. We're really getting good at this bullshit. After an early but brief intermission due to a beer-related mishap, we stick to what we're good at by diving into some classic pee chat. We mention Guðjóns astrology skills before really gunning for that sponsorship from timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style. Teeth, bones, and 17-year-old Joseph Minala lead us into a classic Calling Munro "debate" on feelings, scientism, and why economics is stupid (sorry Livia). We then wrap

21. Livia, could you take care of that please?

Calling Munro ·

2020/10/19

In today's episode we introduce Livia, the latest member of the Calling Munro team... whether she likes it or not. We also read out some listener-submitted names for Guðjón's still fictional dog. We do more than just administrative things, though, and discuss whether having a baby is really any better than getting drunk, how quidditch is a terrible sport, dick snakes, and how it's not actually any better to wake up early (looking at you, Mark Wahlberg!). We also reach the conclusion that art is

20. Guns, Drugs, and a Healthy Diet

Calling Munro ·

2020/10/12

In this week's sweeeet episode we kick it off BDSM style by discussing pain, doing a little bit of roleplay, and eventually contemplating the entwined subjects of suicide by constipation and the fact that Munro is fueling the opiate epidemic. We also talk about supreme engineering feats such as the potato cannon and the Bug-a-Salt, before moving onto poo transplants, depressed mice, unwanted pets, Stupid McStupidnames, and how Deadpool sucks. Towards the tail end things really heat up as Ragnar

19. Deadpool sucks, charity sucks, and Munro would...

Calling Munro ·

2020/10/05

This week we have an unexpected debate. We start things off relatively calmly by discussing acceptable baby names, suicide bridges, octopus intelligence, and the underrated ability to squeeze through keyholes. We establish that Deadpool is actually not a good movie and is not funny, and that problem solving is a smarter thing than playing. For the pièce de résistance we then decide to really ask ourselves whether charity is in fact a good thing, or if it simply props up a status quo that is neither

18. Abusive Animals and Crazy Conspiracies

Calling Munro ·

2020/09/28

This week we kick it off with the three D's: ducks, dolphins, and dicks. We touch briefly on conspiracy theories before moving on to pimple popping and phobias, only to go swiftly back to conspiracies where we truly belong. We throw shade at the City of London Corporation and officially condemn those fucks. Munro mentions his adventures across Iceland and we discuss how to kill him. To top it off we give you some investment tips and Ragnar gives away the secret to the best drink in the

17. Two and a half sleepy bois

Calling Munro ·

2020/09/21

In today's sleepy early-morning episode we discuss boiling frogs, luck vs. hard work, tesla batteries, and the benefits of capitalism and/or being a fuck. We also bravely venture into discussion of bodily functions, as per usual, including the redirection of fart flow, sweating into pools, peeing into showers and sinks, as well as breathing out your fat. Then there are way too many closing quotes. Way too many. Enjoy. We're gonna nap.

16. A story about a parking lot

Calling Munro ·

2020/09/14

In today's episode, Guðjón tells us a concise story about his experiences with a parking lot. Fuck Hafnartorg, the greedy cunts. Munro, as per, talks about how fantastic he is and how much better the world is because of him, although he appears to be guilty of assault. Ragnar is just chill and normal. We also discuss the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement while Guðjón endorses eugenics. Shout out to Kyle for the best voicemail yet, even though Munro responds by showing that he's a terrible

Calling Munro ·

2020/09/07

Today's episode is released on World Duchenne Awareness Day 2020. We took the opportunity to speak to our co-host Guðjón about his life and the effects this disease has on him. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about this affliction, and please support any of the various charities that help fund the research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy so that we can continue to improve the lives of those affected.

Calling Munro ·

2020/08/31

In today's episode we discuss money, Big Macs, millions and billions, the 1%, and other high-flying aspects of the global economy. We also discuss salt, garlic, and injecting soda, while Munro experiments scientifically on himself live on the air! We get three voicemals of steadily increasing quality, and present a totally legit skill that always works! All in all, the perfect episode!

Calling Munro ·

In today's episode we are joined by our friend Jóhann Chun to discuss ambiguous ethnicities, Munro's body hair, Ragnar's nudity, expensive mistakes, Seth's snoring, nearly dying in China, and how to blow eggs. Guðjón is exposed as a legitimate hater of the Red Cross. We also introduce our very first GIVEAWAY!

12. Crying at work, farting in the cold

Calling Munro ·

2020/08/17

In today's episode we discuss horrible sleep fascism, green men, Gilmore Girls, and how insurance is ridiculous. When it comes to bodily fluids, we discuss crying at work, peeing when you look for things, and pooing enough to put you in hospital. We are then super lovely to yet another voicemailer, and end it all on a flaming hot tip! Enjoy.

11. Don't watch the news, look up your life stats...

Calling Munro ·

2020/08/10

In today's episode we discuss Spinal Tap, Domino's, The Week, and probably various other registered trademarks. We come to some shocking realizations about the news, WWII, and what we would like to do after death, and give shoutouts to some choice foods. It's also worth noting that it's Ragnar's birthday the day after recording, which will be four days before this episode airs. Just saying. Gifts accepted.

10. There are ten thousand liters in the ocean

Calling Munro ·

2020/08/03

In today's anniversary episode, Guðjón finally puts his emotional walls down. We discuss nuclear bombs, head transplants, Mel's guesstimating abilities, surgical snobbery, when to definitely pronounce someone dead, and take another shot at Malcolm Gladwell. Also, our voicemal of the week makes us ruminate on what is arrestworthy behaviour.
