"He’s going to lie, we’re going to judge!"

He’s Going to Lie, We’re Going to Judge – Baby News, Safari Stories & a Classic Ben Rant

Listen now — because life’s too short for boring podcasts.

Ben, Jenny and Simon are back — and things go off the rails in the best possible way.

In this wild ride of an episode on the Shut Up and Ride Podcast, we catch up on baby chaos, horse adventures, and a LOT of questionable opinions. As always, nothing is off-limits and everything is up for judgment.

️This week’s madness includes:
Ben’s big news — baby Wilde Atkinson has landed! Cue dad birth stories, proud dad moments… and a few jokes about keeping the baby willy down - for Gregor not Wilde!

Simon’s just back from his epic horseback safari in Africa with Horizon Horse Safaris, and his stories do not disappoint

We welcome our new advertiser — EQU streamZ, the game-changing magnetic therapy bands helping horses feel and perform their best

And yes, Ben’s “What’s Annoyed Me This Week” is back — and it turns into a full-on rant

If you like your horse talk served with humour, heart and a hint of chaos — this one’s for you.

⚠️ Strong language, strong opinions, and very little filtering ahead. You’ve been warned.
