Ep. 112 A Ping Pong Ball Stuck WHERE & The Mystery of the White Dog Poo

Get ready for another laugh-out-loud ride with Danny, James, Jake, and Rachel! We are back in the studio for Episode 112, and things are getting dangerously spicy and incredibly embarrassing.

First up in "Have You Heard?", Jake introduces us to the world's most petty public monument. A local councillor in Cork, Ireland, has pitched building the world's smallest statue—a microscopic replica of the exact mosquito that infected Oliver Cromwell with malaria in 1658. We break down the sheer historical banter of treating a bug like an unrecognized national hero just to build a record-holding tourist trap.

In "Confessionals," James brings the heat with two utterly mortifying stories.• A stressed maid of honor tries to clean a tiny scuff off the bride's white satin shoes in the dark hallway, but accidentally grabs a bottle of liquid ultra-dark fake tan instead of micellar water, leaving muddy brown streaks all down the front of a pristine wedding gown.• A harmless game of naked ping pong goes horribly wrong when a wife decides to serve the ball from her vagina, completely underestimating her pelvic floor strength and forcing her to frantically fish it back out while her husband watches in horror.

We reach into "Rachel's Furry Box" to answer a very revealing question: of the people in the room, who would you trade lives with for a day?. The boys give some highly questionable answers about wanting to experience life with female anatomy, while Rachel admits she wants to trade places with James just to experience the repression of being a "Fenian for a day" and attend an Orange March.

In "Boys Catch Yourselves On," Rachel tackles the bizarre phenomenon of men pacing during phone calls. The boys defend their autopilot laps around the kitchen island and mysteriously ending up three postcodes away, while Rachel points out that a man on the phone looks like he's negotiating a hostage release, whereas a woman pacing means fresh gossip is being downloaded at dangerous speeds.

Danny dives into the biological gutter for "What the FAQ?" to ask: whatever happened to the iconic white chalky dog poo from the 90s?. He explains how cheap, bone-meal-filled canine diets used to overload dogs with calcium that calcified in the sun, and how modern pet food regulations finally saved our pavements from these fossilized Victorian artifacts.

Finally, we update our Spotify playlist, "The Middlers Soundtrack," with some fresh tracks. This week we add "Fire For You" by Cannons, "Toca's Miracle" by Fragma, "Mexico Honey" by Kacey Musgraves, and "Mind's Eye" by Marcello Spooks.
