    Episode 38 - Has anyone ever actually taught Grandma how to suck eggs?

    "Come on Granny, show us how to suck eggs again" they all cried!

    Yes, sucking eggs is an obvious pastime for octogenarians. So much so in fact they made a saying about it. The question is, how did all this imbibing of unfertilised chicken ovulation begin?

    Episode 37 - Is Extra Virgin Olive Oil Just a Massive Prick Tease?

    Episode 37 - Is Extra Virgin Olive Oil Just a Massive Prick Tease?

    How has extra virgin olive oil managed to stay so untouched for so long? Is it just that no one wan't to go all the way with it, or that there's more to it?

    While we're on the subject what other food myths are there? (Yes, we know olives being virgin isn't exactly a myth)

    Will an apple tree grow in your tummy if you swallow your chewing-gum with some waspy-figs?

    All this and more answered in this months episode, yes it's a bit late, sorry, along with our now legendary game: "Sock or Crock", and a whistling debut (as he couldn't manage to perform last episode) for Captain Awkward!

    Episode 35 - What did we not cover the last time we spoke about fake sports we want to see in the Olympics, that could be sports we see in the Olympics, but they're made up, so would we ever see them in the Olympics?

    Episode 35 - What did we not cover the last time we spoke about fake sports we want to see in the Olympics, that could be sports we see in the Olympics, but they're made up, so would we ever see them in the Olympics?

    We're back for a one-off special... maybe... maybe we'll do more... who knows!? Certainly not us, but in this very special episode we delve deeper into a topic we covered previously and give our thoughts on which fake (and not so fake) sports should be included in the Olympic games; some of which are definitely not for the feint-hearted ... or prudes!

    There are just some things that are difficult.... 

    Climbing Everest, Swimming the channel, getting a straight answer out of a politician!
    However there's something which is more cringe inducing than that!

    Asking for Posh Sausage!

    In this episode our socks break down why certain things are just so difficult to request without sounding like a completely pretentious twat!

    Episode 31 - Who would play you in a film of your life?

    Episode 31 - Who would play you in a film of your life?

    Our socks, along with special guest Dan, have turned inward this episode & searched their soul for who they feel would best play them in a film of their life. Based on the results they're all clearly deluded! The question is though... who did they pick for each other?

    (spoilers: no one chose Keanu Reeves)

    Episode 30 - Do criminals really return to the scene of the crime?

    Excluding our socks need to continuously pollute the airwaves with this podcast, is it true that criminals return to the scene of their crimes or is this just a Hollywood myth? Repeat offenders and serial tangential wafflers our socks brush off their my home forensics kits and delve into the shallows of another must-be-answered question.

    Episode 29 - Is "Because" ever a good enough response?

    All together now!... Because, because, because, because becaaaauuuse, (to the tune of we're off to see the wizard) ... because I bloody well said so! Yes that's right our socks are talking about that old parental trick "just because"; Is there really a time where it's a good enough answer or should we just bin it off once and for all?
