Hello listeners,
We’re as surprised as you to discover that Answer Me This! Episode 221 opens with a heated discussion upon the topic, ‘What is art?’ Check us out with our high brows!
Naturally our brows don’t stay high for long; in decreasing order of highfalutingness, we talk about:
Edward Lear
double-ended ice cream
Tracey Emin
Jeremy Deller‘s teenage parties
the Marquis de Sade
firefighters
bridesmaids
pole dancing
Charlie Chaplin drowning horribly
the pull-out method
and
Annabel Chong.
Plus: Olly is horrified to discover that there’s a boarding school-style communal wanking game that he’d never heard of; Helen knows how to make anything unsexy, using ham; and Martin the Sound Man would like to remind you that you only have a couple of weeks left to enter his Science Songwriter of the Future competition, so make the old man happy because he’s got a bad ear this week.
In this week’s Bit of Crap on the App Helen gives you a great tip for making new friends on late-night public transport, based on her recent encounter with a stranger’s pelvis on the Victoria Line. That stranger’s pelvis could be all yours, if you avail yourself of the app on iDevices or Android! Don’t worry if you’re married; the pelvis won’t be worrying about that either.
We don’t want your pelvises, but we do want your QUESTIONS, so thrust them our way by emailing answermethispodcast@googlemail.com or leaving voicemails to the Question Line (dial 0208 123 5877 or Skype answermethis). As a reward, you may watch the video below of Eleanor from Norwich’s pole dancing team going about their totally sexless business.
See you next Thursday,
Helen & Olly

I believe the usage of the term money shot in porn is actually because it’s common that the male porn actor doesn’t get paid unless he can deliver the cum shot. Apparently sometimes they have to get in ‘stunt cocks’ to finish the job for them.
I’m slightly ashamed that I know this.

hi I’m on the pole committee too with eleanor! just wanted to point out pole dance/fitness originated in ancient civilisations like Greece where men would do tricks and perform on a wooden pole, and this sport still exists in places like India! strip clubs stole a perfect challenging sport and gave a bad rep we will be struggling to shrug off forever!! but thanks formentioning us! x

*please you answered the pole dancing question!
June 28, 2012 at 4:48 pm |
Our pole club are so pleased the pole dancing question! We agree with you for the most part. And Olly thanks for the mention about some people’s physique, we work hard for it.
Also some clubs have boys and we will have some starting in September, there just hadn’t been the interest before but comps do have men’s categories.
Thanks and hope you enjoy the video!

pole dancing – do it to classical music??
June 28, 2012 at 12:16 pm |
Or to an old man whistling.
June 28, 2012 at 1:11 pm |
excellent idea – I suggest Ride of the Valkyries
