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
