Luke and Harry discuss the popularity of ice cream, the blunders and bull's-eyes of Ben & Jerry's, and the mystery behind ice cream flavours that probably should exist, but don't.

Although only mentioned via its absence, the Gingerfork Patreon has been closed down and as such everyone will be receiving episodes at the same time! For the time being of course, maybe at some point in the future we open a Playing Favourites Patreon? Or something? I don't know, these descriptions last forever and I'm not omniscient :(

Oh, and every time Harry and Luke use the word "matrix", swap it out for "radar chart".

Luke and Harry are today joined by special guest Tim! Tim is currently studying peasant unrest at university and also does a whole bunch of reenactment stuff, meaning he hits people with swords, wears armour, knows a lot about history, and is the perfect person to educate the other two idiots who run this show about what swords are.

I asked Tim if he wanted to link anything, but he was very humble and said no. Goes to show that he really is a man of the people and isn't in it for the fame and glory.
