There’s something reassuringly familiar about hearing Will Mellor and Ralf Little in full flow. For many, they’ll always be Gaz and Jonny from Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. But over the last few years, the pair have built a new stage for themselves: Two Pints with Will & Ralf, a podcast that mixes comedy, friendship, and the sort of unfiltered conversation you’d expect after ‘two pints’ in the pub.
Now, in partnership with Numan, that pub-style chat is about to take a fresh turn; one that could change how men think about their health.
The magic of Two Pints has always been in its honesty; two blokes talking the way real mates do. That same unfiltered style is what makes the podcast the perfect place to open up bigger conversations about men’s health. Rather than dodging the awkward stuff, the laughs help bring it to the surface, where it feels natural (and even easy) to talk about it.
Enter Numan.
What makes this collaboration stand out is its mix of humour, candour, and real medical insight from Dr Dave, one of Numan’s men’s health doctors, with close to 20 years of experience in the industry. He’ll be joining Will and Ralf as a recurring guest, shining a light on topics he’s not only seen countless times in clinic, but probably overheard in a pub urinal and thought, “yeah, I could probably do something about that.”
So when the lads dive into blood testing, testosterone, or eyeing up who has a rugby physique and who’s just a bit podgy, Dr Dave will be on hand to cut through the myths, explain the science, and show why it all matters.
And, of course, all of it wrapped in the laughter and irreverence that makes Two Pints what it is.
It would be easy to dismiss a comedy podcast as lightweight. But that misses the point. The beauty of Two Pints with Will & Ralf lies in its ability to make serious subjects palatable. By laughing at themselves, the hosts make it easier for men to drop their guard, lean in, and learn something that could genuinely change their lives.
For Numan, this is part of a broader mission to meet men where they are, and not where a clinic says they should be. That might be through a late-night podcast listen, a home blood test kit, or an online consultation. The goal is the same: longer, healthier, happier lives.
Think of Two Pints as the modern equivalent of pub wisdom, but with fewer dodgy anecdotes and more actual science behind the bar. Will and Ralf keep the laughter flowing, Numan brings the clinical expertise, and together they’re turning entertainment into empowerment.
