    Also loving it even more since you micced up Queen Lillie-Mae (definitely googled that to check the spelling 😅) she’s also so brilliant! ❤️

  • A beacon in dark times.

    Okay, the title might be a bit much. But I do like that it seems to irritate some people that Queen Lilly Mae and the other behind the scenes crew are laughing. That’s like being angry at flowers… or a duvet.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joe Thomas Made Me Miss My Train
Q: Where does the phrase killing someone in cold blood come from?
It originates from the idea that the act is premeditated and methodical, not a hot-blooded crime of passion, which historically carried a harsher judgment; the hosts walk through linguistic and legal reasoning to explain the distinction.
Can you call Attenborough a C***?
Q: Is Lucozade medicinal and what flavor is the original red?
Lucozade originated as a health drink and was used for children who couldn't eat or drink. The original red Lucozade is characterized as a vaguely citrus flavor.
The Best A Bum Can Get?
Q: If you were cursed, so every time you saw a dog, it attacked you and tried to kill you, or every time you saw a bird, it attacked you and tried to kill you, which curse would you choose to have?
The hosts lean towards choosing the bird option for a better chance of avoidance.
P*rn Has Lost The Plot
Q: How do you know if someone has an inner monologue?
Some have a constant conversation in their head while others may experience it as silence.
Was Pluto Cancelled?
Q: What will be happening in 2026?
