  • About Hair Loss: Can you save a thinning mohawk?

    This episode is brought to you by MANUAL, the UK’s leading men’s health service. Today is a podcast first... Joe is recording this episode without his hat on! Why? Because the time has come to have an open conversation around hair loss, and the stigma that comes with it. 50% of men will suffer with hair loss in their lifetime, and we shouldn’t be afraid to talk about it. Our guest today is Mike, who is a senior clinician at MANUAL, and is here to bust some myths, blow our minds with some stats and tell us how to take control of our hair loss. Plus, there is a ridiculous story about when Joe shaved off his mohawk and didn’t bother tidying it up...

     

    MANUAL are offering Things People Do listeners 55% discount on their first hair loss treatment order.

  • About Art: Why did a banana taped to a wall cost $6.2 million?

    If you could hang a podcast in The Louvre, then this might just be that podcast. Why did a banana taped to a wall cost $6.2 million? What is the point of the Mona Lisa? What actually is 'art'? These are some of the many questions that we put to Dr. James Hicks, who is art historian and one of the most knowledgable people we've ever met. This episode makes us to some unexpected places (Tracey Emin's Bed meets Joe Marler anyone?) and we're very much here for it.

  • Things People Did, with Sindhu Vee: What do consultants ACTUALLY do?

    Come and see our final live show at The Clapham Grand on 3rd December, with special comedian guests Jake Lambert and Suzi Ruffell! Tickets here: https://dice.fm/event/533vok-joe-marler-presents-things-people-did-3rd-dec-the-clapham-grand-london-tickets


    This is another episode of Things People Did, with the phenomenal comedian and former investment banker, Sindhu Vee! Large portions of this episode are spent trying to explain to Joe what bonds are - a concept which he still has no grasp of. Other big questions posed include 'what is the point of consultants', and 'how did Joe manage to lose money investing in oil?' We may never find the answers...

  • About Cocktails: Who is the worst person at a bar?

    Today, we speak to George, who is a mixologist. But he doesn't want to be called a mixologist. Because that's a bit pretentious.


    He tells us all about cocktails. Which are the most popular. Why ice is so important. And why they're even called cocktails in the first place, which has something to do with ginger in a horse.

    And, Joe and Tom get a bit tipsy on a signature show drink.

  • About Footballers: The carnage combination of Jimmy Bullard and Joe Marler

    If there was a footballer version of Joe Marler, it would definitely be Jimmy Bullard. What happens when you put them in a room together? Mayhem. This episode is mostly a discussion about why Joe never calls Jimmy back, how much footballers earn compared to rugby players, and a ludicrous story about Paulo Di Canio. Brace yourselves for this one.


    Go and give Jimmy's podcast a listen! You can find FC Bullard here: https://podfollow.com/1740129741

  • Things People Did, with Marcus Brigstocke: The podium dancing oil rig worker

    We're back at The Clapham Grand, and our guest today has the most ludicrous list of jobs we've ever had on Things People Did. Marcus Brigstocke used to work on an oil rig, where he practised for his other job as a podium dancer. He was also a rollerblading instructor, the 'chief beverages officer' at a Little Chef (remember those? whilst moonlighting as a world cheese judge.

  • About Shoes: Can you cook a pair of Converse in the oven?

    Today we are joined by Charlotte, who is a footwear technologist (no, we didn't know that was a job either)! She is responsible for making sure our shoes are safe, comfortable and that they don't fall apart while we're wearing them. This episode is full of random facts and philosophical questions about footwear, such as 'why do Converse get cooked in an oven', 'why are they called sneakers' and 'do slippers count as shoes'? Joe also talks us through his ridiculous number of shoes... can you guess how many pairs he has? You won't believe it.
