Ep. 110 A Ghost at Sunday Roast & The 7,000-Yard Glitter Bomb

Get ready for another laugh-out-loud ride with Danny, James, Jake, and Rachel! We are back in the studio for Episode 110, and things are getting wonderfully weird and incredibly embarrassing.First up in "Have You Heard?", Jake explores the ultimate competitive sport: extreme revenge on cheating partners. We break down the legendary 7,000-yard glitter bomb, a brutal digital billboard breakup on the Sheffield Parkway, and a savage $2 million art heist disguised as a divorce settlement.In "Confessionals," James brings the heat with two utterly mortifying stories. • A listener secretly steals a vintage perfume that belonged to her boyfriend's recently deceased nan. When she wears it to a family Sunday roast, the entire room bursts into tears, convinced the nan's ghost is visiting—and now she has to attend a family seance. • A trip to Primark takes a violent turn when a listener tries to open a packet of fruity Mentos, accidentally firing one like a bullet directly into a small child's head.We reach into "Rachel's Furry Box" to answer a tricky question: which podcast host would you trade lives with for a day? The boys give some highly questionable biological answers about wanting to experience a day as a woman, while Rachel admits she wants to trade places with James just to see what it's like on the other side of the Irish border.In "Boys Catch Yourselves On," Rachel tackles the bizarre phenomenon of men falling asleep instantly anywhere. The crew debates how men manage to nap fully clothed in jeans, pass out on airport floors, and sleep through anything, while women need absolute silence and a perfect skincare routine just to close their eyes.Danny dives into the biological gutter for "What the FAQ?" to ask: what side of the body is the healthiest to sleep on? He explains why rolling onto your left side stops you from marinating your throat in stomach acid and acts as an anatomical cheat code for a structurally sound morning trip to the toilet.Finally, we update our Spotify playlist, "The Middlers Soundtrack," with some fresh tracks. This week we add "Figuring It Out" by Royal Blood, "Black Lilies" by Parov Stelar, "Pretty Lady" by Tash Sultana, and "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" by Alison Moyet.
