We’re back with special guest John Reed (he/him) aka ‘The Storyteller Fellah’! John talks to us about his work teaching poetry to people who are incarcerated in men’s prisons. Bristo and Legohead celebrate for Neurodiversity Week (neurodiversityweek.com), ask what exactly is a cack, and get up to their usual nonsense. John regales us with an improv tale at the gallows, we all decide living on the moon is the way to go, we are serenaded with our least favourite songs, and an amazing poem is shared with us. Come for the insanity, stay for the actual heartfelt shit we get into.

Welcome! It Wednesday! Join us at 8am UK time for "Ep 11: I Kept the Pimp Hand Strong Specifically." In today’s episode, the first of another twofer, your favourite two certified freaks are absolutely outmatched in the #chaoticgood stakes by ADHD queen and all-round good egg Emily! If you aren’t already familiar with Ms. Dubious (THAT’S DUBWAH 2 u BBZ), she can be found brightening the world around her on TikTok (@emilydubious) with her mindfulness-inspired daily rainbows, callously wrecking poor unsuspecting journals with her furious, goblin energy fueled art, performing in fantasy folk quartet Fae as Folk (how fucking cool is that) and also being a researcher and illustrator for QI! The gang talk art and the creative process, get down and dirty discussing their toxic traits (how to narrow down) and Emily delights and disgusts with, to be quite frank, our most vile Stoner Chat yet! ...Can we get her an award?!
