#89 What is Locktober?

Denis is back from Caerphilly with tales of faggots and chips, a town full of dry robes and a lovely fireworks display. Then a trip to the GP gets very awkward behind the curtain. Meanwhile, Mark is back from a mini break in Berlin, where he did the conga and met a listener from the West of Ireland. Then he takes Denis through a lesbian pie eating contest, no hands allowed. Also this week: why London has no school buses, Irish curry vs English curry, hotel gowns in Japan, the hottest Senate daddies, Mamdani's Movember moustache, the Sabrina Carpenter chain reaction theory, Abdul El-Sayed and Sky News, small talk for when you bump into a gay, and a listener whose best mate wants a wellness stag with a sound bath.
