• Dave Is A Fungi
    Apr 2 2025

    Fungi. Fun guy? Ah, forget it.


    This week's episode starts pleasantly enough and then — make no mistake — turns to filth.


    It's very harmless, fun filth, but filth nonetheless. We learn which author received a gift that enabled them to write an all-time classic and, in part two, Dave walks us through how mushrooms create their own weather. The detour in the middle on cereals, however, is quite the adventure.


    You won't believe why someone invented cornflakes.

  • The Place That Is Everywhere All At Once
    Mar 26 2025

    Well we all know the Holy Spirit is everywhere, but which country is in all four hemispheres?


    Fear ye not, young David Moore is here to explain. And if that doesn’t whet your trivia appetite, the lads also chat about the 'Man Who Lived Through Doomsday'. It’s a packed episode.


    Come for the facts, stay for what can only be described as Dave’s masterful bird impressions.


    Imagine Dr Doolittle sustained a serious concussion and you’re close enough.

  • Dancing Yourself To Death
    Mar 12 2025

    You know yourself: another day, another session of rhythmically driving yourself to the grave.


    Neil explains to Dave just how this exact phenomenon occurred and Dave talks us through the weirdest car names in history. What exactly is a Mysterious Utility Wizard and where would one get one?

  • Mice Do CPR!
    Mar 5 2025

    In the second episode of this new (dare we say improved?!?) format, Neil tells us about Gino D’Acampo’s problems (no, not those ones) and also how nice mice are. Dave tells us about horseradish, passing by an ass and how he just doesn’t care. It doesn’t make much sense, so you’d better just listen!

  • The Zoo's Most Expensive Animal
    Feb 26 2025

    The lads are back with a slight amendment. Series 9 sees the two reprobates just talking to one another and not roping in a distinguished but often confused expert to put up with their nonsense.


    In this episode’s fact-off, Dave explains which animal in the zoo is by far the most expensive to keep, and Neil responds by walking us through the story of the oldest name in the world.


    They also delve into just what Dave will do for sponsorship money. It will come as a surprise to no-one that he’s prepared to do an awful lot of weird stuff for cash.


    This may become a theme that will run and run.

  • Whatchamacallit?!?
    Dec 18 2024

    In this episode, we unearth the reasons we say Gizmo, Thingamajig or Whatchamacalit with Ursula Kania, Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Liverpool! If you think those words are good, wait till you hear the Russian and Dutch versions! Oh, and in part 1, Dave introduces us to a Finnish phrase that we didn’t know we needed but we do because how else could you describe “bouncy cushion satisfaction”?!?


    We also reached the incredible milestone of 1,000,000 listens to our little podcast and that makes us so happy and feel so grateful to all of you for listening. Massive thanks to everyone who has made it happen, Eimear, Nicky, Cathal, Willie, Hannah, Jen and so many others along the way. Here’s to another million!

  • Nuns' Brains In Jars
    Dec 11 2024

    This week, the lads cover the amazing story of why there are 700 nuns’ brains in jars in the US. Clinician and author, Dr Daniel Nightingale talks them through the detailed studies that have been conducted on the organs and what they tell us about dementia and ‘cognitive reserve’.


    If that’s not enough, Neil blows Dave’s mind with the fact that the easternmost point and the westernmost point of the USA are only about 70 miles from one another. And, as it’s nearly Christmas, we’ll throw in some chat about mining bird droppings too. Can’t say fairer than that.
