Episode 35 - Jurassic, Plastic, Dinosaur Sofa-ry Park
Stupidest show title yet? Let us know (it’s supposed to sound like ‘dinosaur safari’, it’ll make more sense in a moment).

This time out our yoga teacher and comedian pairing discuss the warrior poses, the connection between doing a pose and whether it changes your mind or outlook over time, the wasp mafia, the Romantic movement, and ye olde days when conmen used to try and sell you religious relics like the fingers of saints, or maybe the toes of knights (not sure if they actually ever did sell knights toes now I think of it but thought it made for a good episode title).
