  • About Strongmen (Part Two): Pulling planes, crazy injuries, and the incredible journey of the Stoltman brothers

    Come and see us live at The Clapham Grand on October 1st, with special guests Marcus Brigstocke and Catherine Bohart! Tickets only £15: https://claphamgrand.com/whats-on/?listing-type=joe-marler


    In the second part of this episode, we're delving into how Strongman competitions work. How do you pull a massive airplane? What are some of the most horrific injuries that have occurred? And why is World's Strongest Man always sunny in December? Things also get deep, as the Stoltman brothers open up about some of the tough times they have faced along their incredible journey, and share some of the coping mechanisms and superpowers that have led them to where they are today.

  • About Strongmen (Part One): Meet the Stoltmans, the world's strongest brothers

    We have not one, but two excellent guests this week. Luke 'The Highland Oak' Stoltman and Tom 'The Albatross' Stoltman (yes, it is compulsory to have a cool strongman name). They are the world's strongest brothers, and their story is incredible. What is more incredible, is the sheer weight of the things they lift, and the amount of calories they consume before they do so. This episode was so good, we had to split it into two parts. Part two will be out on Friday!

  • Things People Did, with Tom Davis: Scaffolding, acting with Paddington bear and eating Timothée Chalamet's breakfast

    Come and see us live at The Clapham Grand on October 1st, with special guests Marcus Brigstocke and Catherine Bohart! Tickets only £15: https://claphamgrand.com/whats-on/?listing-type=joe-marler


    Our guest this week is a HUGE comedian (literally, he's 6ft 7)... it's Tom Davis! He's talks about all his previous jobs, including being a scaffolder, selling rude t-shirts at festivals and how he may or may not have been Ed Sheeran's bouncer. He also tells us about how you act with a CGI Paddington bear, the time he ate Timothée Chalamet's food and when he asked Kylie Jenner to check his nose for bogeys.

  • About Embryologists: 600 babies and counting...

    Come and see us live at The Clapham Grand on October 1st, with special guests Marcus Brigstocke and Catherine Bohart! Tickets only £15: https://claphamgrand.com/whats-on/?listing-type=joe-marler


    This week's guest was forced to come on the show by her sister. But we're so glad she came!


    Olivia is an embryologist. Which means she helps people make babies, using science. She's helped to make 600 babies, and has even had one named after her. But we couldn't just talk about the heartwarming stuff. Of course we had to mention the slightly sticky world of sample collection.


    And Joe and Tom share their stories of when they've had to provide samples of their own.
