Two Guys, What's Up?
#98 - Yorkshire Baddies and Gameshow No-no’s
Some prophecies are bunkum! How do we know? Well, the prophesied things never came to fruition! But what if a prophecy came from a hen? And I can promise you it’s not what you think. Today Iain covers the story of the Yorkshire Witch in a tale so wicked, you’ll have your wallets stolen.
And how many times have you thought “I need some money, I could go on a gameshow!” Well, THINK AGAIN! Because today Jordan tells us how it’s ain’t all peaches and cream, as he describes some gameshows that have unfortunately seen the light of day when perhaps they shouldn’t have. From hungry lizards to holidaying in a sock, today we really have got it all covered.

99. #99 - Phantom Social Workers and So’more Stupid Laws
54:10||Ep. 99If you hate talk of travelling, gigs and what we do or don’t eat in the morning; then you’re in luck because we only talk about that for about the first 10 minutes! But after that - it’s the good stuff. Iain kicks off with the true creepy mystery that swept the UK in the 80’s and 90’s: phantom social workers. Those odd individuals who’d show up at your door unannounced, claiming to be official; telling you they are here to take your children - but disappear without a trace. Surely one to keep you up at night. And then in light of us celebrating a whole 99 episodes! Jordan gives us one new law that was created in every year from ‘99 right up until present day! So if my math is correct *checks on fingers and foot fingers* - that’s 25 new stupid laws (plus one bonus one) that Jordan shares to boggle your mind. Let us know what you think is the daftest law brought into creation.

53:24||Ep. 94The world is filled with mysteries, as we’ve come to find out. But what if one of these mysteries isn’t some cryptid, isn’t an alien or some creepy spirit, but actually something that exists is every single situation we encounter daily. Shadows! Sentient shadows! Today Iain tells us about the spooky (supposed) reality that is shadow people! What they are, what they do, and what to do if you see one! It’s all covered in today’s episode.And then Jordan takes a long hard look at the English language. This linguist wannabe looks at the sayings that we’ve all come to love and shows us just how wrong we are. He even gives us extended and long forgotten versions of popular sayings that might even change the meaning of what we’ve come to know them as today! Did you know any of these extended phrases?

51:35||Ep. 93Sometimes people take flights. Sometimes for reasons of national security. And then sometimes the pilot gets abducted by aliens. And that is exactly the kind of story Iain has for us today; one of the strangest disappearances recorded in the UK. It’s the story of Captain Schaffer and the day he disappeared. And then Jordan thinks “I once did a thing on the world’s worst cocktails - not good enough” and brings us some of the strangest food combos that the internet has to offer. Real food combos that seem like they don’t go together but apparently they do? You be the judge! On today’s episode with the Guys.

From evil teddies to nasty notes, find out how this family finally rid themselves of the malevolent spirit once and for all.Then Jordan gives us a, maybe slightly unethical, laugh as he tells us about some people who knocked themselves off our mortal plane in the silliest of ways; thus claiming the prestigious “Darwin Award”.
