Episode 87
Squirrels With Attitude
Show broadcast on 17 October 2015
Two topics with unexpected reactions this week - first, John's mention of "escaping the noise of life" lead to plenty of suggestions for where he should relocate to, and John's heroic treatment of a distressed squirrel provoked many animals-out-of-place stories as well. Meanwhile Elis gave us a fantastic/unrecognisable impression, and of course the boys oversaw Textual Healing, Winner Plays On and Humble Brag Of The Week.
