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.

This week Dave excels himself for sheer WWYTMTness by explaining just why der Fuhrer had the details of your local Maxol. He has enlisted the help of Dr Joseph Quinn of Oxford University to explain Operation Green, the Nazi invasion plan of Ireland.

If that doesn’t whet your appetite, part 1 finds Dave in military manoeuvres mode. The Allies blew a lot of stuff up during WWII. Just not in the way you might think.

Yeah, you heard right.

This week with the help of ophthalmic surgeon Arthur Cummings the lads explore just why you’d want one of your gnashers inserted into your own eye.

To counteract such gore, in part one, Neil explains which man might be the person who has saved the most human lives ever.

Add arsonist birds and animals that willingly sacrifice their young, and we got ourselves a podcast.

Maybe, to you, Death Metal sounds like an animal enduring some kind of torture alongside an explosion in a giant metal fabrication factory. Well, guess what, those of us who listen to that music are happier and nicer people than everyone else! Professor Bill Thompson, who is associated with a number of Australian universities, has proven this in a number of incredible studies and he's here to confirm that Dave is nicer and happier than Neil. As if that wan't enough for you, Part 1 sees Dave explore the wildest and most debaucherous behaviour of heavy metals craziest stars. He and Neil get very intimate with a certain bodypart of Rod Stewart that NOBODY asked for!

Did we always sleep the way we do now? Is Dave’s ability to sleep anywhere a talent or the sign of a man addled by life?

On this week’s pod Jill Zwarensteyn, Editor for Sleep Advisor and a Certified Sleep Science Coach explains the history of sleep and how that most fundamental aspect of our daily cycle has changed.

Part 1 sees Dave’s whistle-stop tour of the nocturnal habits of certain animals.

*Warning*

 Includes the immortal phrase “’licking the ants out of the mound”.
