Ep. 105 A Hot Yoga Fart Disaster & The Country That Banned Crocs

Get ready for another laugh-out-loud ride with Danny, James, Jake, and Rachel! We are back in the studio for Episode 105, and things are getting dangerously spicy and incredibly embarrassing.

First up in "Have You Heard?", Jake introduces us to the Republic of Slowjamastan. It's a self-declared micro-nation in the Southern California desert founded by a radio DJ who crowned himself Sultan. We break down their bizarre national laws, which include a strict ban on Crocs, mumble rap, speakerphone in public, and eating string cheese the wrong way.

In "Confessionals," James brings the heat with two utterly mortifying stories.

• A guy tries to act macho on a first date by ordering "Thai spicy" noodles, only to rub his eyes with weapon-grade chili oil hands, trip over a table, and end up with the manager pouring full-fat milk directly into his open eyes.

• A hot yoga session in a sweltering, dead-silent room turns into a biological hazard when a listener unleashes a fart that sounded like a "heavy wooden chair being dragged across a wet floor," leaving the girl next to him dry-heaving.

In "Boys Catch Yourselves On," Rachel tackles the bizarre phenomenon of men packing entire PlayStation consoles for their holidays. The boys defend bringing their gaming setups for a chill night in, while Rachel declares that traveling 2,000 miles to sit indoors and shout at a virtual referee is a massive red flag.

Danny dives into the biological gutter for "What the FAQ?" to ask: why do we cry?. He explains the "globus sensation" (that nervous lump in your throat), breaks down the three types of tears, and reveals that emotional crying is basically your body taking a "stress p*ss out of your face".

Finally, we update our Spotify playlist, "The Middlers Soundtrack," with some fresh tracks. This week we add "Step by Step" by Whitney Houston, "Feel the Real" by Fcukers, "Colour" by MNEK feat. Hailee Steinfeld, and "Where You At" by Dublin artist Abbie Coulibaly.

Grab a drink, have a laugh, and join the madness!
