It's infamous and yet somehow it made it past the Hollywood executives.
The Human Centipede is without doubt one of the more messed up films to get to the masses but how did it come about? Why did it come about? And, has anyone actually watched all 3?

An extended version of this episode is available to all monthly Ko-Fi subscribers (link at the bottom of this metadata) featuring an extra 25 minutes of content and starting at just £1 a month!

Join us and our guests; Jim and Sam from the Cast-a-role Podcast, as we delve into the films and try to work out what on earth they were thinking!

All this plus the usual fun with world record corner, "Sock or Crock" and a new game specially commissioned for this episode: "Pitch it Good, Pitch it Real Good", where we each try to pitch a good-bad film to the others and see if anyone can guess what it is.

For more of this episode you can find an extended episode on our Ko-Fi, which has an additional 25+ minutes of content!! Starting at just £1 a month.

"Memeories, all alone in the moonlight, has the... something... de dum dum, la da dee dum da da" ... or something like that.

Yes! In this episode our socks are wondering why it is our memories can be amazing at recall and yet also so completely unreliable.

Hamsters!

Those cute, shy little creatures that adorn houses and classrooms throughout the western world.

They don't live that long, but it seems most of them are in a hurry to meet their maker way sooner than they should.

Everyone seems to know at least 1 horror story about the demise of one of these poor creatures and therefore we, along with Travis and Rick from The Bar Banter Podcast, seek to answer the question: Has a hamster ever actually died of natural causes?

Warning: This episode contains details of hamster deaths, very bad jokes, swearing, vulgarity and even... One-Show-worthy segueing.

You have been warned!

"Up above the streets and houses, rainbow's flying high, everyone can see it smiling, over the sky. Paint the whole world with a rainbow!"

Yes, this episode our intrepid socks have donned their rose tinted specs (or in Simon's case black and white tinted) and delved into the world of children's television of the past. 

What in the world was going on in that Rainbow house to make Bungle want to put clothes ON for bedtime?
Why is it that animal characters have historically been naked or semi-clothed?
Which TV characters (or real life ones) did our socks have a crush on as a child?
Why was Andy unable to swap his train on Noel Edmonds Swap Shop after Ross got hold of it?

All will be revealed!

"Come on Granny, show us how to suck eggs again" they all cried!

Yes, sucking eggs is an obvious pastime for octogenarians. So much so in fact they made a saying about it. The question is, how did all this imbibing of unfertilised chicken ovulation begin?

Join us, along with out very special guests; Rob & TJ from the Channel 84 Variety Show, to find out!

How has extra virgin olive oil managed to stay so untouched for so long? Is it just that no one wan't to go all the way with it, or that there's more to it? 

While we're on the subject what other food myths are there? (Yes, we know olives being virgin isn't exactly a myth) 

Will an apple tree grow in your tummy if you swallow your chewing-gum with some waspy-figs?

All this and more answered in this months episode, yes it's a bit late, sorry, along with our now legendary game: "Sock or Crock", and a whistling debut (as he couldn't manage to perform last episode) for Captain Awkward!

We're back for a one-off special... maybe... maybe we'll do more... who knows!? Certainly not us, but in this very special episode we delve deeper into a topic we covered previously and give our thoughts on which fake (and not so fake) sports should be included in the Olympic games; some of which are definitely not for the feint-hearted ... or prudes!

Who Takes the Socks Off is a fortnightly podcast where a group of friends answer the questions you never knew you needed answering until you heard them.

Whatever happened to Dick and Fanny?
Why has Enid Blyton's masterpiece trilogy about the magic faraway tree been edited to feature character names never intended to be there?
Can we make this episode without somehow getting onto the subject of porn?

Join your usual socks along with very special guests Tom and Simon from The Pit Of Chimps to find out the answers! (and get a little more surreal than usual)

There are just some things that are difficult....

Climbing Everest, Swimming the channel, getting a straight answer out of a politician!
However there's something which is more cringe inducing than that!

Asking for Posh Sausage!

In this episode our socks break down why certain things are just so difficult to request without sounding like a completely pretentious twat!
