Ep 28 - Karl Bushby: The Man Who Walked The Earth

This week, Sian is fully embracing country life after spotting a man casually painting the sunset at the side of the road. She also crowns herself the world's best auntie after a sleepover with her nieces, complete with a High School Musical marathon. Meanwhile, Bobby has a full-blown stoner moment and starts questioning reality itself. In Spin the Yarn, Sian tells the incredible story of Karl Bushby, the man who set out to walk around the world. Beginning in Chile at the age of 29, his journey would take decades and test him in ways most people could never imagine. Naturally, Bobby interrupts with an unexpected rant about the corrupt system. We finish in the algorithm with the shocking story of a young woman whose routine visit to a chiropractor ended in tragedy—one of those stories that might make you think twice before watching another back-cracking video online. Adventure, random tangents, and the usual waffle. 🏠🧇

Ep 27 - A Trip Down Memory Lane

This week kicks off with Bobby having a very unexpected Vogue-worthy moment in the car, while Sian nearly starts World War Three in the Costco car park. In Spin the Yarn, Bobby takes a trip through the origins of some of our most common sayings, from "daylight robbery" to "saved by the bell", before heading down south to test Sian on some classic London slang and forgotten phrases from years gone by. We wrap things up in the algorithm with a proper trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the best bits of growing up in the '90s and early 2000s. From ice poles slicing your lips, to staying out until the street lights came on and sneaking downstairs after bedtime, it's an episode full of nostalgia. A proper throwback packed with memories, strange facts, and the usual waffle. 🏠🧇

Ep 26 - The Mother Of All Cons

This week starts with Freddy Von Pickle living his best life, cruising around in his electric Jeep with the dog riding shotgun. Meanwhile, Bobby is battling another case of man flu and manages to create a painfully awkward moment at work involving a rogue bit of yellow snot and people he barely knows. In Spin the Yarn, Sian tells the shocking story behind Believe in Magic and Megan Bhari—a tale of deception, sympathy, and one of the strangest charity scandals. A story about how far someone will go to keep a lie alive, and the people who believed every word. This week's Load of Waffle puts Bob Mortimer under the spotlight—was he really once a hairdresser, or is it just another classic Bob story that sounds too ridiculous to be true? Over in the algorithm, Sian uncovers the internet mishap where Teletubbies subtitles got mixed with The Sopranos and ruined childhood memories forever. Bobby then dives into the world of plastic surgery trends and why the latest “fox eye” obsession might have gone a step too far. Cons, cringe, questionable trends, and the usual waffle. 🏠🧇

Ep 25 - Proof Of Reincarnation?

Father's Day sees Bobby living the dream—fishing all day, enjoying a Toblerone, a few beers, some sweets, and a well-earned nap, while Sian somehow ends up cutting the grass and helping around the house. This week's Spin the Yarn explores two of the most compelling reincarnation cases ever recorded. From the eerie similarities surrounding the Pollock Twins to the extraordinary story of Dorothy Eady, who believed she had lived a previous life in Ancient Egypt, we ask the question... could reincarnation be real? In Midnight Cringe, Sian finally gets to meet her podcast heroes, Tony and Ryan, after travelling across London for a secret meet and greet. The only problem? The first thing she blurts out is that she's been waiting ages... and desperately needs a poo. We finish with this week's algorithm, featuring a 36-year-old woman living life as a 12-year-old, before Bobby crosses the line once again with the bizarre case of a woman who woke up speaking with a Chinese accent after a migraine. Ancient mysteries, awkward encounters, and the usual waffle. 🏠🧇

Ep 24 - The Croydon Cat Killer

This week we catch up on Blue Therapy, explain why you should avoid Ed Sheeran's One Shot at all costs, and Sian continues her commitment to Married at First Sight Australia. In Who Pissed in Your Horse-Riding Shoe?, Bobby is fed up with people shouting upstairs and then refusing to answer when you shout back, while Sian declares war on the calories hidden in fruit. For this week's Spin the Yarn, Sian investigates the strange case of the Croydon Cat Killer, exploring the bizarre details, public panic, and theories that a serial killer may have been responsible. In Load of Waffle, Bobby presents two unbelievable stories—one completely made up and one entirely true. Can you work out whether it's the girl with two brains or the Jim Twins that actually happened? We finish with this week's algorithm, featuring a 63-year-old weed smuggler, nostalgic memories of old mobile phones, and a few more of Bobby's favourite internet clips. True crime, strange stories, and the usual waffle. 🏠🧇
