Trick or treat, listeners? Trick or treat?

Actually it doesn’t matter which you pick – we’re only going to give you Answer Me This! Episode 73 anyway. Which lacks the surprise factor, but is better than a mini-Mars bar or a rotten egg through your letterbox. Promise!

Secreted in the episode, like the razorblades hidden in the apples old Mr Scratchbastard is giving out, are such topics as:

Daniel Craig
Immac
Home Alone
Primark’s politically incorrect jimjams
Barbie vs. Metallica
Emo Phillips vs. Emu
Home Depot vs. Alton Towers
Jack Bauer vs. monuments
ovulation
Mariella Frostrup
film noir
A Bug’s Life
special macchiato
the Russian Royal Family
and
laughing gas.

Plus! Olly kindles envy with his voluptuous cleavage; Helen practices her sexy voice; and Martin the Sound Man gets ladybirds mixed up with ladyboys. Which might explain some of the pictures on his computer.

Also, if you’re interested in some of our extra-curricular activities this week, watch Olly talking about the newspapers 11.30pm Friday 31st on Sky News, or Helen talking about ping-pong robots on yesterday’s Skynews.com. If you’re not, and would prefer to send us a QUESTION or just to get in touch, please Skype answermethis, phone 0208 123 5877 or email answermethispodcast@googlemail.com.

See you next week, unless we’re all eaten by ghosts!

Hello chaps! And apologies for the lack of an episode last week, although we’ve very much enjoyed your guesses as to which operation Helen had. There are many outlandish suggestions – and one of you was very close! – but you can find out the prosaic truth by listening to Episode 72.

Along with the identity of Helen’s mystery ailment, the episode holds such noisebits as:

guinea-pigs
Rear Window
the many hits of Status Quo
karma
Imax-face
Global Hypercolour*
Fortnum’n’Mason
douche-bags
Goldwyn-Mayer syndrome
great British cheeses
and
romantic advice for Michelle Branch.

Plus, Olly is a traitor to his own sex, Helen bemoans her wonky corneas, and Martin the Sound Man shows vaunting ambition for his spiritual future.

Also, thanks to the dozens of you who wrote in to avail Mark from Essex of the information about the song he sought in Episode 71, and happy 18th birthday to AMT! superfan James from Lincolnshire! If you have more songs, birthdays or, most importantly, QUESTIONS to tell us about, don’t be shy: please Skype answermethis, phone 0208 123 5877 or email answermethispodcast@googlemail.com.

See you next week, unless we have to have emergency bottomectomies or something!

Helen and Olly

*UPDATE: Dagnammit, it seems Global Hypercolour may be making a comeback! Fiona in New York tells us that American Apparel is staging a revival of revolting colour-changing t-shirts. Batten down the hatches before we’re all deluged by a tide of other pointless crap returning from the 90s, like Pop Swatches and the band Echobelly.

Dear Answer Me This! listeners,

I’m sorry to tell you that Episode 72 isn’t coming out today – Helen had to go and have an operation, so must lie about in bed this week rather than mess about with audio files and whatnot. Provided she doesn’t choke on a grape or her own laziness, normal service will be resumed next Thursday.

If you want some amusement in the meantime, leave a comment guessing what operation she had done; first person to get it right wins a pair of surgical stockings and a pack of supermarket own-brand ibuprofen.

Yours,

Helen’s Mum

Hello friends!

How nice to see you again (in an abstract way). In response to all of you who enquired: yes, thankyou, we very much enjoyed our month off. No, we did not go anywhere nice on a holiday. Although we did take a trip to Croydon to buy Martin the Sound Man a new swivel chair. But we have it on good authority that the experience was at least 70% similar to a fortnight at a Sandals resort.

Anyway, to business! Firstly, we were utterly overjoyed to see how eagerly you lot took to our Camcorder Challenge. The competition closed last Friday night, and you can read all about it HERE, as well as listen all about it in Episode 70.

And what sort of things have shot out of us after a month of podcastly abstinence?

Minesweeper
sexual politics of yesterdecade
Frubes
the shamelessness of animals
Jackie Mason
Harvester
the fascist bastards of the Chelsea Flower Show
the Boston Bean
best men
the Queen’s chewing-gum
surprise parties
Selfridges
this sort of thing
and
the joke that will be funny forever and ever.

And that’s not all! Olly recreates his first ever podcast; Helen admits to a relative who DOESN’T go in for swearing; and Martin the Sound Man tries to mimic a drumroll sound and just coats the AMT! studio in spittle. Cheers, Martin.

As well as asking us some lovely juicy QUESTIONS for the new series, by Skype-ing answermethis, phoning 0208 123 5877 or emailing answermethispodcast@googlemail.com, please leave a comment on this post revealing what your first words were. Ours were ‘wank’ (Olly), ‘”they’re”, NOT “their”!’ (Helen) and ‘Higgs boson’ (Martin the Sound Man), or at least should have been, rather than the fairly prosaic stuff we did apparently come out with.

We look forward to reading your outpourings, and we hope you enjoy listening to ours over the Michaelmas series! It’s delightful to be back.

Helen and Olly
