Wikishuffle

Most podcasts don't transition from whimsy to cheese to chess to frank discussions about mental health. But then Wikishuffle isn't most podcasts. In fact, statistics will tell you that Wikishuffle is actually less than 10% of podcasts. Look it up if you don't believe me.And, what's more, you can hear the story of how Chris got his legs waxed (he claims for charity, but I suspect a fair amount of sexual gratification amongst his motives).

Remember Chrisville from Episode 66? Sure you do - it's the island Chris is planning to build and govern. Since undoubtedly all Wikishuffle listeners will absolutely definitely be emigrating there as soon as humanly possible, you'd better listen to this week's episode to bone up on a few more of the rules of the land.And then there's a bona fide actual warning that if you're a sensitive sort, you might want to give this week's second article a miss.

"It's a hypothetical situation about spider being on your penis. Just go with it."Can you believe we've made it all the way to episode 92 before bringing up the hypothetical situation about a spider being on your penis and just going with it? Me neither.In the intro to this week's episode we out another British celebrity for being a creepy old sex pest man, and in the outro - despite our intervention two weeks ago - Jack is back to doing a load of gross foot stuff.

It's an episode where we read out lists of what things are called in different countries. That sounds like fun, right? Specifically, a beloved character and a niche sport.Want to know what beloved character and which niche sport? Well then you'll have to listen. Or look at the show notes at wikishuffle.co.uk if the suspense is too much for you.We're also plugging our new spin-off podcast Goodnight Sweetcast, that you should definitely listen to, irrespective of your interest in 1990's time-travel-and-bigamy sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart.On top of that, we make another appeal for you to send us a postcard from your shitty town: Wikishuffle HQ, 1B Headlands, Kettering NN15 7ER.

We've had just about all we can stand from Jack, so we're holding an intervention. It's for his own benefit, you understand. So that we're not forced to murder him during a recording session when things get out of hand.Prior to that it's an educational episode: Film studies, Home Economics and PE are the lessons of the day. Oh, and we lather up a hypothetical Tina from S Club 7, but not in a creepy way. Okay, in a bit of a creepy way.

Given that episode 19, way back in July 2015 was called Got Blood, it seems inevitable that episode 159 will be called iot blood. And taken to its natural conclusion, you can expect to be listening to our final installment - Zot Blood - some time in the summer of 2036*.This week we have plagues, nuclear war, Skrillex and Paw Patrol. I like it when I get to type sentences that have, with near-absolute certainty, never been typed before.*I worked this out with a spreadsheet. My figures are sound.

Sticking closely to our remit, there's barely any Wikipedia and absolutely zero shuffling in this week's episode. Most of our time instead is spent admiring Jack's newly acquired status of Fruit Ninja.There's a Papa John's update to, so do feel free to tweet @papajohnsuk, and be sure to use #dustpizza. Ah, the power of Social Media. It's like our very own little Tahrir Square moment, seizing back the power from our doughy overlords.Thanks to listener Gabriella from Jerusalem for suggesting this week's article.

Evolution gets a helping hand from the deranged mind of Christopher Wallace this week - a man whose idea of self-improvement skews somewhat unconventional.When not accusing a deceased Guinness World Record holder of being a liar, or critiquing the physiological nuances of rodents, Phil finds time to offer a damning review of a piss-poor pizza papa. #pizzagate #dustpizza
