Why Would You Tell Me That?

In this week’s episode, we learn about the man who went from slave to senator in the fledgling, revolutionary United States. Author Cate Linnebery joins the lads to explore the incredible life of Robert Smalls. Also, Dave unleashes all the facts he didn’t manage to include in the rest of the episodes of Season 5. What are older, sharks or the rings of Saturn? What animal eats the most moose? It ain’t what you think! Dave also shouts at us all as he shows why he would be the worst self-help guru ever!

It’s a dog-eat-dog world, right? The alpha male of a pack uses aggression and dominance to stay as the leader of the pack? Well not so much. The lads are joined by Kira Cassidy an associate research scientist with the National Park Service research program in Yellowstone to bust some lupine myths and explain who is the most important member of the wolf pack. It is definitely not who you think.

Part 1 sees some excellent advice about how not to go to the loo in the middle of the night.

Have you ever borrowed a car to nip off for a few hours? Well, that's what Bertha Benz did except it was the only car in the world and nobody had ever nipped anywhere in one before! Ever! She was the wife of Carl Benz of Mercedes Benz fame, sure, but she was so much more. An investor, a businesswoman, a pioneer and the inventor of the roadtrip! Everything about this story is wild and comic, scientist and musical theatre writer, Helen Arney, is here to tell us all about Bertha.

In addition, we'll learn so much about streets, road, avenues, parkways and intersections that our brains will look like spaghetti junctions! Plus, we'll all laugh at rude things because rude things are fanny, sorry, funny! See, you're laughing now.

Oh, and did you know Neil was on Live at the Apollo? Well, you will after this!

This week we meet David Gluckman, the man (amongst others) who invented everyone’s favourite Christmas tipple, Baileys. He must be Irish, right? Wrong. Well, he must be a food scientist? Wrong. Surely it’s his biggest impact of Irish exports? Wrong.

To put you in the mood for such deliciousness Neil drops some food facts in part 1.

Be warned, one of them will make you question ever having a 99 again.

Imagine working your whole life on something and, when you finally get the chance to make the dream a reality, you just go, “Naaaah. You’re grand.” Well, that’s what somebody did when offered the chance to land on the moon! Who was that man? Well, Matt Hobs, scientist, comedian and moon landing enthusiast, is here to tell us all about him. Come for the guy turning down the moon, stay for the 1000 women in space story. Trust us!

As if that wasn’t enough, we also discover how much of a chicken Dave is and what toy knocked out more teeth than any other.

We finally have the episode when Dave says "Time is a just a construct". That may well be the case, but you still have to have major cajones to want to change the entire calendar. Enter badboy of Europe, France. This week the lads meet Dr Matthew Shaw from Queen's College Library, Oxford University who talks them through the plan to get rid of Sundays, decimalize time and rename every day of the year.

Part 1 sees Neil explain a champagne-related coup while Dave demonstrates a frankly extraordinary ability to belch on command. Get that man on a talent show.

In this episode, Dave has uncovered an incredible tale of age-defying physical prowess and downright stubbornness! Meet Gustaf Håkansson, an elderly Swedish gentleman who cycled the length of Sweden. Twice. To prove a point. Sarah Mulkerrins, a sports journalist, who has worked with every broadcaster around, drops by to tell this incredible tale. As if that wasn’t enough, we also learn about more of Sweden’s most talented people, including the guy who has written almost as many Number 1s as Lennon and McCartney!

The internet’s version of Liam Neeson, Jose Monkey joins the lads to explain how just how easy it is to figure out where you shot that video you posted.

Jose has amassed 1.4 million followers online by establishing the locations of videos that people send him- the phrase “Find me Jose Monkey” is fast becoming internet lore.

He explains just how he does what he does

Of course, an obvious accompaniment to such a delectable part 2 is a part 1 that tells the story of how pigeons used to guide missiles to their targets. Duh.

It’s SEASON FIVE! We are so grateful so many of you listen to us and we can’t believe we’re back for a fifth season!

Dave is really easing us into this one with a simple question: what’s the worst pain the natural world has to offer? 

In this episode, we meet Mark Vins, the CEO of one of YouTube’s most successful channels, Brave Wilderness. Mark and his friend, Coyote Peterson, have spent their days getting stung, bitten and finding out the worst pain humans can stand so that we don’t have to! Thanks, lads! 

We also learn some startling facts and figures surrounding YouTube, including how many years it would take you to watch everything that’s ever been uploaded! It’s a very long time but not as long as Neil guesses cos he’s figured out a way to ruin Dave’s day and this means that normal service has resumed for Season 5!

In this week's episode, the final one of Season 4, Neil asks a question we've all asked ourselves a thousand times:

Did General Franco rig the Eurovision Song Contest?

This led to other questions being asked, such as:

What?

How?

And

Neil, are you ok?

Well, it turns out that Neil's claim might just stand up and he brings in the brilliant author, journalist and documentary-maker, Richard Fitzpatrick, to present the evidence.

As if that wasn't enough, Neil explains in Part 1 why this podcast could be weaponised by a dictator!

Thank you all so much for listening!

We will be back in October with Season 5.
