Who Takes the Socks Off?

Something smells fishy!! - Mermaid + Merman = Merbaby... but how!?

We're talking physiology here and there's much to discuss.

With guest comedian Paul McHugh, Ross and Simon take a deeply educational dive beneath the waves, and tackle the age-old mystery: how exactly do merfolk… make more merfolk? 

Prepare for an ocean of uncomfortable ideas, wildly unhelpful answers, and biological theories that would get us thrown out of any reputable marine institute (or an unreputable if we're honest).

Foot fetishists ahoy! This episode is for you!

Ross and Simon have been joined by Ross' mate Olly (yes really, he has some) to discuss glass slippers, pumpkins, fairy tales and Disney plot holes.

Was the Fairy Godmother a dodgy cobbler with a glitter problem? Did Cinderella fake the fall for dramatic effect? And more importantly, what does this say about female gender roles throughout the ages?

From magic to physics, this episode proves once and for all that true love might be blind, but it sure as hell isn’t blister-proof, and we're not talking about the lads hands for once.

Yes, that's right it's all about nouns of the collective variety and with comedien Matt Roseblade making everyone cackle you'd be mad to miss it!

So come listen or there might be a murder or two.

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No! It's two twats and an international comedy person!

Yes, this month Ross and Simon are once again joined by Michael Frankland and we're talking superpowers. More to the point, shit superpowers. Would you like to be able to fly but only 6 inches off the ground? Be able to speak to animals but only when they're asleep?

The boys have a whole host of insanely useless super powers lined up for you along with the usual games like Sock or Crock and Asockalypse Now.

So don your tighty-whities over your trousers (pants for the US), grab a cape (no capes darlings) and join us for a hyper-leap into the world of superheroes!

Thou shalt not pass by this episode!

Yes we're getting all biblical on your asses. The 10 commandments. Stone tablets containing the word of God, or in our case, of Jebus & Glenn Brayley.

While Glenn goes down a road of semi-serious advice for non-sinners, Simon gives us the 10 commandments of the podcast itself.

There are games galore & laughs a plenty, so strap in (yes I said in, it's not always filth here) & enjoy the ride as we tackle the Old Testament Socks style.

Glenn runs grass roots comedy nights in Bournemouth & is involved with developing local talent, comedians and promoters.

This is not an episode

You should not listen to this unless you want to know what will be happening over the next couple of months, or you just like the sound of our voices or something. 

Bit odd if you ask me.

Anyway, has anyone seen Ross? 

I got this weird message from Valencio saying something about bondage?

Better go and try to find him I guess.

See you all soon!

This week our Socks; Ross and Simon, are joined by Tyler the social media creator (see what we did there?) and they're posing another of our randomly selected would you rather questions to him.

Which would be more awkward, to have to skip everywhere or sing everything?

Either way, funerals will never be the same again!

So which would you chose, and after listening did we change your mind?

Let us know!

This week, Ross and Simon are joined by the beautifully unfiltered Mike Batho from The Reclining Pair Podcast  to wrestle with a hypothetical that could ruin friendships, family dinners, and job interviews alike.

The choice is simple: Total Silence or Total Transparency.

No filters. No secrets. Just raw, unedited brain nonsense 24/7.
Or total silence forever—where your only way to say “I love you” is blinking in Morse code. 

Together, the trio navigate uncomfortable truths, horrifyingly fecal overshares, and what happens when your inner monologue becomes your outer one.

Bees!

Bringers of life and pollination.

Fuzzy cousin of the hateful-sting-bastard and all-round busy little Apis!

But do they actually possess the idiomatic knees that are so often bandied about to convey brilliance? Are these “bee’s knees” a real anatomical feature, or just another bizarre phrase humans have cooked up during a sugar crash?

Join Ross, Simon, and returning guest Sunjai Arif as they dive wings-first into the sticky world of bee anatomy, idiomatic nonsense, and other oddities. Along the way, they ask the big questions:

• What makes a knee… a knee?
• Were the 1920's just one big hooch-fest?
• And why do so many English expressions sound like the fever dreams of a Victorian entomologist?

Expect buzzing banter, the return of Sunjai’s hilarious anecdotes, and more insect-based confusion than a wasp at a picnic. It's weird, it's wonderful, and it might just leave you wondering what other body parts we've unfairly attributed to animals.

ITS UNPRECEDENTED!!

1 Episode - 2 QUESTIONS!

Yes, you read that right. This week our friend.... well, colleague.... this guy from work, Tom AKA T-Willy, has joined us to answer not one but two questions!

Will he pick the Mega Ex over Hatred filled strangers?

Will he pick Unicycle over Pogostick?

Either way, recording live from his in-house cuck chair, with keys firmly in the bowl (not locked in his boot), Tom is up for a laugh and up for answering these burning questions!!
