It's time to stuff the goose and gobble down some turkey! That's right, it's DINNER TIME!  Mum and Stacey are back with their second Christmas Special Episode all about the wonderful Christmas dinner.  Mum tells us what she had for dinner last year - it involved a lot of beans and bubbles, but not much meat.  Mum has been looking at different Christmas meals from around the world to see whether something else takes her fancy.  Stacey tells us about the history of Brussels sprouts and explains how turkeys got their name.  She also has some unrelated news about a worrying fashion trend this Christmas.

 

We have another round of Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner, where the listener needs to identify a dead person of history from the clues given.

 

Kipper joins the gang to tell us what he likes to eat for Christmas dinner, and he is asked a question by John and Andy of the fabulous podcast/radio show Dredgeland.  Find their show on your podcatcher or at their website http://dredgeland.com/.

Merry Christmas everyone!  It's our first weekly Christmas episode and this week we're talking about THE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS.  We're going all the way back to the time of the dinosaurs, to see how they celebrated Christmas...OK, maybe that's an exaggeration but we go pretty far back.  Romans, Egyptians, Puritans, and Victorians, we got them all!  Mum talks about the origin of Father Christmas, and reveals how old Rudolph is.  There's also a Christmas related Guess Who Isn't Coming To Dinner.  Stacey tells us about the less romantic side of mistletoe; and has an unrelated news story about a man who refuses to act his age.

 

The delightful Giles from The Filmmaker's Podcast has a question for Kipper about the Office Party.  Find Giles' podcast here http://thefilmmakerspodcast.com/

Mum and Stacey are back for Series 4 and it's Halloween! In this episode Mum is talking about Chinese and Japanese ghosts.  Guess Who Isn't Coming To Dinner is also BACK!  Mum describes a person who has departed and therefore can not come to dinner.  Can you guess who the person is from the clues given?  We are introduced to Mum's new housekeeper, Conchita - how long will she last?  Stacey talks about Halloween traditions, and Mum gets confused about who holds the world record for apple-bobbing. Kipper is here to tell us what he is scared of. He also finds out about Cat Radio.  What songs would you play on Cat or Dog Radio?

 

Conchita the Housekeeper played by Jenni Lea-Jones.

With Series 3 all done and dusted Mum and Stacey are making plans for Series 4.  Whilst you're waiting why not enjoy some unheard bits from the last 12 episodes?  Mum talks about donkey cheese, moose cheese, guinea pig cheese... basically if it's an animal with nipples, Mum's gonna make cheese from it.  Not even Kipper is safe!  Stacey talks about penises (it's an occupational hazard) including the fish with a willy on his face; and a worm that can cut you in half.

In the last episode of the series Mum and Stacey talk about CHEESE!  Mum has all sorts of facts about cheese made from different animal milk, including camel cheese and reindeer cheese.  She also explains the difficulty involved in milking a guinea pig.  What happens if you try to tempt fish by putting cheese on your legs?  Only Mum has the answer.  Stacey plays the game "Cheese or Disease", and tells us about cheese related world records, including the world record for eating cheese under a car.  Kipper joins the ladies to talk about the controversial Twitter poll regarding which is the best cheese.  In unrelated news a man has a weird attraction to magnets.

This episode is all about NIPPLES and BELLY BUTTONS!  Mum tells us about famous people with extra nipples; explains why men have nipples; and introduces us to The Great Nipplini - the man with the strongest nipples in the world.  The FBI and The Men In Black may shut this episode down once they realise Mum and Stacey have discovered a breast related conspiracy.  Stacey tells us what makes the perfect belly button; she reveals how many bacteria we have in our navels and talks about cheese made from this bacteria.  Stacey also has exciting news about a new arrival.

It's Kipper's 13th birthday today.  He joins us to answer a question from Eastender's Weekly Podcast (twitter @eastendersweek) about smelly cat paws.

Chris from the movie podcast More Gooder Than (twitter @mgtpodcast; website www.mgtpodcast.com) joins us to give a movie fact about belly buttons.

Mum and Stacey are discussing THE PENIS.  Mum talks about human penises, and Stacey has facts on unusual animal penises.  Why is ET so popular with the ladies? Which animal has the biggest/weirdest penis?  How many penises are there in the Icelandic Penis Museum?  All of these questions and more are answered in this episode.  FYI Kipper DOES NOT want to talk about cat penises.  Owen joins in to give the top ten names men give to their penis. 

The wonderful Giles from The Filmmaker's Podcast gives us a penis in the movies fact. Check out his show on http://thefilmmakerspodcast.com/

In this episode Mum and Stacey discuss BRAINS.  Mum has some tricky brainteasers for you to answer, and she tells us about optical illusions.  She also explains what it's like to have only half a brain.  Ever wondered why we feel sick if someone else is vomiting?  Well it goes way back to the dinosaur times apparently.  Stacey talks about zombies, Albert Einstein and randy goats.  She also tells us why we get brain freeze.

It’s time to talk about EYES! Mum has to put the recording on hold due to an unexpected visitor at the villa.  Who’s been eating her peanuts? Stacey talks about blue snot, baby’s eyes, and asks Mum to guess how much an eye weighs.  Mum tells us about the weird eyes of the box jellyfish, a brave soldier in Vietnam, and the new-found uses for shark corneas.  Dan from The Comedy Geeks Podcast asks Kipper a question about a popular song involving cats and eyes.  As if that’s not enough, Stacey has stories of eye tattoos, Kentucky Fried Spiders, and googly-eyed cats.
