Who should I say is calling & other tales
From crucifix calamities to creepy dolls, this week's confessions bring plenty of mischief, misunderstandings, and outright mayhem. Aled shares a tale of the time he accidentally trapped a TV producer in the door of an old bus - thanks to the enormous one-foot crucifix around the poor man's neck in Do-wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy uuurrrghh! Then there's Derek the Trucker with his tale - Mercy Sakes Alive, who wanted a quiet drink but ended up redirecting overly chatty Beryl to another trucker... leading to an unfortunate mix-up for poor Barry. Meanwhile Frank is seeking forgiveness in Eyes without a face after his con plays a terrifying prank on his little sister using an unsettling doll gifted by mad Cousin Pat. And finally Filofax Girl had enough of stray footballs invading her garden (and even her house) so she took drastic action in Who should I say is calling? In the Not for Broadcast section, things take a truly nauseating turn with a particularly sickening story. Elsewhere on the pod the team discusses smocks, ponchos and the groundbreakingly idea of a smoncho. here's also chat about the origins of 'the chuckle', listening to podcast at school and how Matt's neighbours didn't pack any manners. Prepare for laughter, gasps and maybe even a shudder or two.
