Trivial TrialsTrial 40 – Beth versus CricketIt's the Cricket Episode! Featuring one of the most egregious decisions ever made in this definitely not real court.
Like, listening back, I'm like "how did you even think that that would be the right conclusion to draw" like who even thinks that?! Like seriously! Man, F this S.
2024-06-1939 minTrivial TrialsTrial 39 - Human Mud versus Sonic VandalsThe Trivial Trial returns in the safest of hands (Judge Jack's), as he sifts through Sebastian's harrowing story, stresses through Raghu's, and delivers one of his "most incredible" (self-proclaimed) deliberations yet.
With special thanks to Apple's Jonathan Ive, who catches a sensational number of strays with this episode.
2024-06-0534 minTrivial TrialsTrial 38 - Ms Welsh Wiggeldybottom versus Gulag RonnieTrivial Trials has rebranded to the name it always should have been! Jack recounts sexy childhood trauma, Sebastian reads out a doozy, and Raghu dissects us as always.

Trivial TrialsEpisode 36 - Dog People versus Jack's Hate CrimePucker up! The Trivial Trial is in session once more, with Raghu taking to the role of judge like a duck to water, or Jack to the idea of an attack on one of his best friends. Sebastian debuts Sappho, who will soon be his replacement in the Very Real Court, just as soon as she finishes law school. And if you are listening to this on Spotify, we think (?) you can now vote on who you think deserves to win the episode?
2023-02-2233 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 35 - Gay Speed Dating versus Roy KeaneAnd so, another episode dawns upon us. Jack does the worst job of all time being a judge, Sebastian regales us with a delightful tale about something or other, and Raghu predicts the World Cup winners.
2023-02-0842 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 34 - Profane Munchkin versus Divorced ArchitectAKA The Spicy Butter Waffle Episode. Sebastian returns to his rightful place as court judge, sniffing out justice to his heart's content. Raghu's velvety tones take on a lactose quality, while Jack Vaa is actually from, like, Denmark? In case you didn't know?
2023-01-2536 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 33 - The Return of the Trivial TrialWith new and improved microphones, and outdated and degrading perceptions of life, the Boys are Back for Season 4 of the best barely listened to podcast of all time. With Raghu acting as a cutting judge, Jack freaks out about his hair and Sebastian throws one of his slaves under the bus. Some things never change.

Trivial TrialsEpisode 32 - The Queen versus Tony Gardner versus BotwRecorded August 2019. Which is why all the references are from a distant era, pre-Brexit, when Corona was just the only beer you put a lime into for some unknown reason. Jack's Dad and actor Tony Gardner joins us for this episode, in what could potentially be a career-defining role. In fact, after listening back to this, we are convinced this will have massive implications for his career. Raghu discusses the Royal Family (#EatTheRich), Jack commits Patricide and Tony discovers the dangers of reading through Urban Dictionary in a pub whilst waiting to come to the recording... Oh boy.
2020-03-1730 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 31 - Double Decker Sonnets versus Greta Thunberg's EnemiesIn this weeks jaunt, Sonnet-composing Sebastian cannot stop bloodcurdlingly laughing at describing the death of his enemies, Article-Reading Raghu reads an article and Beautiful-Face-Haver Jack does very little apart from keeping this ship afloat as usual.

In our THIRTIETH episode (look how far we have come, look what we have ACHIEVED), we invite Dame Helen Mirren or Judy Dench or whatever into the studio to talk about Library Creatures, then Raghu goes on another semi-comprehensible rant about the sun before Jack whacks out his strings and makes you listen to him for 4 minutes straight because he can do what he wants.

2019-12-1626 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 27 - Sir Prancelot of Gardnershire versus Tennis KarenWe are BACK! AGAIN! New and improved apart from definitely not improved!
This week we discuss very important things like how to punish pregnant women and how being told to not watch sports is like farting in a room full of people. And if that isn't new and improved then I don't know what is.
Jack embodies a new character because character and prop comedy are two noble arts, Raghu writes a story (new and improved) and Sebastian returns as the Gay Judge.

2019-05-1325 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 17 - A Fat Guy on a Plane versus A Fat Guy on a PlaneHey kids, can you guess what this episode is about?
Sebastian has a wet dream as his fat phobia is allowed to flourish freely in this week's ep. (He's only this way because he was fat when he was younger-- swipe right on his Facebook profile 5 times and you'll see).
Raghu is so unwell that you have a danger of becoming infected just by listening to this recording.
Jack is fantastic as ever, no-one ever reads the episode description, especially not Sebastian and Raghu so yeah, Jack is wonderful, fantastic and the brains behind this operation. And beautiful.

Trivial TrialsEpisode 16 - Your Mum versus Shaquille O'NealSebastian has really decided to fulfil his New Years' resolution of more conflict not less, and has attacked the least deserving Trivial Criminal we've ever had. This is probably the last episode of the podcast... Jack's undoubted physical stature gets ignored. Raghu takes too long to deliberate over the easiest decision ever made by a judge on this podcast, or in the history of any legal thing ever.

Before Series 2 starts, we thought we would read out a story that was sent into us over the break by one of our 3 listeners-- Kathy from the UAE Legoland (don't ask)! Kathy wrote into us at our butterfliespodcast@gmail.com with her #TrivialCriminal and we brought that sweet, sweet, meaningless, inconsequential justice upon them. It always goes down smooth. Also, we're getting really political this series and there is nothing you can do about it. #politics #commentary. Email us your trivial criminals at...

2018-10-0120 minTrivial TrialsEpisode 4 - One Direction versus The BeatlesThis week, Sebastian (who once again is bravely told to tell his story first), recounts a treasured story from his childhood: an encounter which he is likely the only person to remember, and has been festering over with fury for the last dozen years. In other words, the absolute perfect story for this podcast. In detailing a story about his "sweet ass tattoo" (check the insta: butterflies_on_the_wheel), Jack humiliates a work colleague and potentially destroys a nascent friendship in his attempts to make strangers laugh. And he would do it again, goddamnit. Raghu finds both his co-hosts...

Each episode, two of either Jack Gardner, Sebastian Hendra or Raghu Kesavan will battle it out by presenting a real-life person they’ve encountered who has been guilty of some form of mild idiocy. They will conclude by proposing a fitting punishment to the moderator, who will then decide who has presented the most convincing case, and the winner will have the right to compete again in the next podcast. The rules are simple: 1) No more than three minutes for opening arguments 2) The crime *must* be trivial 3) The punishment must fi...
