This week, the lads return to Texas to explain the origin of the word gobbledegook, and then Dave brings us into the world in which he is most comfortable: criminality.
Does the time of day affect whether something is a crime or not? What is the best disguise to wear when robbing a bank? All these and more will be revealed. Happy Christmas everybody!

Who doesn’t love an 80s puppet-based sitcom?
This week, Dave leads us through the labyrinthine shenanigans that went on to keep the reality behind ALF a secret - ALF, the lead character in the wildly successful sitcom of the same name, of course. In part 2 we hear how Neil’s nationalism unexpectedly reared its head on a TV show.
If that’s not enough, Neil explains the mighty legacy of Grace Kelly’s Da. Where else would ya get it?

The intro to this show is not to be missed. Nor is the outro. Everything else is equally unmissable, just not in the same accent!
Neil reveals the truth behind Parmesan Cheese and Salvador Dali’s near-death, land-based diving-suit experiment! Dave tells the incredible tale of a molasses flood in Boston and reveals the insane journey every NBA basketball goes on. Enjoy!

This week, Neil lifts the lid on the one occasion you’re actually allowed to drink alcohol on the floor of the House of Commons - and what tipples people choose. We then hop back in time to Bologna to discover why being a law professor there was… well, a tough career choice.
Meanwhile, Dave valiantly tries to explain where Earth’s water came from, but that’s quickly overshadowed as he inadvertently reveals his key demand for remaining in the employment he so richly deserves. Tune in for history, science, and accidental workplace negotiations - all in one episode.

In this week’s episode, we learn just how sexually naive Dave and Neil actually are, as the lads very badly describe lap dancing!
Dave also explains how Sabrina Carpenter got the new Mayor of New York City elected. Neil tells us why the Germans wanted to bomb pretty places and then brings a surprise guest, fellow comedian John Meagher, to tell us all how the Brits did Satanism during the Troubles!
A fairly regular episode so.

This week, Dave tackles the thorniest of issues: who has the legitimate right to call themselves the Ghostbusters?
And if that isn’t enough, in the second half, Neil shares three facts tailored to Dave’s particular interests: New York, music, and sport!

In this week’s episode, Neil alphabetises animals, bad mouths late people and explains that Devil’s Advocate was actually a job! Dave gives a thumbs up and all hell breaks loose. He also brings us (arguably unnecessary) knowledge on A4 pages but incredibly necessary knowledge on Afronauts and the Zambian Space Race!

This week, Dave tantalizes us with some intriguing details about a secret billionaire family whose products you probably consume daily, but know very little about!
And if that mystery isn't enough, in the second part, Neil sprinkles in a bit of Disney magic by revealing some of the decidedly inappropriate names that were considered for the dwarfs in film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

In this week’s episode, Neil tells us all about the woman who got exactly half of the USA’s penicillin supply!
Dave tells us about how camels’ humps produce more water than if they held water. Which they don’t. Which makes no sense. Well, that’s this podcast for you!
Add into the mix, a man who sued his surgeons and won and the incredible life of General Garibaldi including the biscuits!

Dave in concentrating on borders this week. He talks us through the island that is French then Spanish then French and so on.
Then he goes one fruther and explains bits of countries that are in other countries that are in other countries.
In the perennial game of oneupmanship that is this pod, Neil then brings out the big guns: giraffes, wind turbines and Napoleon.
If you want to know just why the French military genius' most mortal enemy was a horde of rabbits, dig in.

Following on from last week's discussion about how long a rooster could last without a head, we delve deep into the world of fowl again. Dave explains just how to coax a chicken, and even a shark into a trance-like state.
Neil then attempts to elevate the level of discourse by dropping ancient Greece and American Civil Rights attorneys into the chat.
His attempt, as usual, fails. But at least they do answer the perennial question, how many horsepower is a horse?

This episode sees Dave introduce us to the man who eats everything - metal, glass, rubber, you name it, he's ingested it.
Let's call this story of Mr Mangetout, the "dessert". For starters, Neil talks us through just how long a chicken can live without a head and then serves up the delightful tale of the men who paint rabbits for the Tour de France as the "main". Be warned, this part of the show is a bit spicy in its language.

In this week’s episode, Neil reveals the shocking truth behind one top Premier League footballer’s blank navel! And how you do not want to LeBron James yourself in public. Dave goes pubic with his escutcheon and fills us in on the names of the individual Tetris pieces. One of them is called Smashboy! Sure, what more could you ask for?

This week’s episode exemplifies the difference between Neil and Dave.
Neil reads the British Journal of Psychology to research his incredible facts. Dave reads the paper in which he got his fish and chips.
Nevertheless, Dave‘s fishy facts will wow you but not as much as the story of the Irish man who named a fruit and invented hot chocolate. Neil reveals how the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola remained the same for more than 70 years and greatly excited Dave with his talk of 40-foot container standardisation. Add to this the sexual tension of a seed travelling through an armadillo’s alimentary canal and you’ve got yourself an episode.

On this week’s episode, Dave challenges us to identify bands from their pre-fame names. The Polka Tulk Blues Band, Wicked Lester and The Sex Maggots are but a few of the delights he has in store for us!
Neil talks us through the IKEA Effect and how a raunchy study proves it to be true! Enjoy, yiz “Cans of Piss”... that’s such a well-known band. Seriously!

Well, it might be true.
The two lads delve into the truth behind that statement. And if that's not disturbing enough, in Part 2, Dave is still on his Man vs. Animal track.
Can a bear out-eat a man? You're about to find out

Join us this week as Dr. Kit Chapman takes the lads on a journey through history's most bizarre papal accusation. It's even wilder than you can imagine! Certainly worth Neil slightly breaking the podcast's format.
Plus, in Part 1, Dave dives into one of the stranger man vs. beast tales.
Horsepower versus manpower.

Saddle up and set your phasers to "Eh, what?" as Dave introduces us to Bookland. It's a magical place that produces all the tomes you know. We'll let him explain.
Once you've come back to terra firma, let Neil reveal who was the most generous American of the 20th century and who played most unusual baseball match you can imagine.

Well, we've finally reached the zenith of utter nonsense with Dave revealing his new military contractor connections.
Combine this intrigue with how Saddam Hussein was found and a soupçon of top notch papal facts and ladies and gents, we've got ourselves a podcast.

In this week's episode, Dave hijacks Producer Nicky's cricket fact and "goes locust" while also describing a bug that is just the worst!
Neil tells us why the pineapple did not go well at McDonald's, poos at his German home and impersonates a Donegal midge! You need to hear this.
