#10 - Man becomes unofficial Jaffa cake eating champion after eating 36 in three minutes?
If you're not from the UK and don't know what a Jaffa Cake is, it's a small circle with a cake base and a chocolate and orange top. They are absolutely delicious and your Gran always has some in a tin in a cupboard. Still, 36 is a bit much, surely? Guests, for the final time, are Danny McLoughlin and Rob Mulholland.

Cheeky Little Bonus: I Am Hung Over
Another cheeky little bonus episode to keep everyone entertained in the long week in between the real shows. Just me talking nonsense for 10-15 minutes really.

#2 - EXTRA BIT (Listen if ep2 seemed to cut out before the end)
So for some people episode 2 cuts out before the flying dildo story. I have no idea why - the file uploaded is the full one and it doesn't seem to affect everyone. So if episode 2 seemed to cut out for you, here's the end story!

#1 - Man Wakes Up To Find Burglar Sucking His Toes
Host Freddy Quinne is joined by this week's guests, Danny McLoughlin and Danny Deegan. Yes, it's not ideal having two guests both called Danny. Yes I figured this out five minutes before we started recording. Look out for a niche reference to the 1973 Disney classic Robin Hood that's made me laugh every single time I've heard it.
