Matt Pope joins us for our first foray into pre-history! Brace yourselves for a whirlwind ride about the life and times of the Neanderthals, in which Alex's mind is completely blown!

Join us in the Mary Rose for a debate on the stupidest crime in history. From convincing people to hack their legs off, to the man who wouldn't die, to the rocket scientist who couldn't stop playing with himself. Making fun of stupid is what we do best...
