49: The 1980s

Joel Veitch and David Shute from Rathergood have a very silly conversation, ostensibly about a particular subject but actually rambling through their many enthusiasms and flights of fancy. Drawing on their long experience working in comedy on TV and the internet, they share anecdotes from their work and personal lives and discuss topics dear to their hearts such as whether crabs have ten legs as science would have us believe or do in fact have eight legs and two arms because what do you call their front arms with the pincers if not arms? There is no way those are legs. Seriously, come on now Crabologists you need to do better. They are co-creators of the Netflix show Bad Dinosaurs and the comedy website rathergood.com<hr> Hosted on Acast.
