Before listening to AMT423, you have to do a couple of minutes of homework, which is to watch this video.

Then, proceed unto the episode, wherein we discuss:

whether the chicken really crossed the road as a morbid pun
Albert Einstein’s posthumous career as a spokesmodel
Tinkertown, Albuquerque
popcorn machines
Billina in Return to Oz vs bad chicken representation in media
dealing with wedding first dance fears
spice bag cocktails
porn star martinis
infinity pools
the Lautner Edge
dying in New Jersey
build-your-own castles ≠ BDE
the Nakatomi Plaza of the mind
and
a man incubating a duck egg in his underpants – seriously, watch the video.

Also, we must issue content warnings for some chat about hen death (and alcohol, and a blackface minstrel troupe).

Support AMT at patreon.com/answermethis, and in return you get an ad-free version of the show, monthly bonus bits, our video livestream Petty Problems – and the highest tier gets access to our ENTIRE back catalogue, including all our paywalled episodes, our special albums, the full archive of Bonus Bits of Crapp on the AMT App and all the Retro AMT episodes.

EPISODE 362: everything is paste

May 3, 2018

Hello pets! This month is the British Podcast Awards, and you can vote for AMT in the Listeners’ Choice category, you know, if you choose to. Click here to do it. If you need to remember why you love us, listen to Answer Me This! Episode 362. Today we consider:

Meghan Markle’s citizenship post-marriage
My Dad Ate A Pringle
baked bean hummus
celebs in specs
labyrinths vs mazes
atheism vs romance
God Save The Queen vs My Country ‘Tis Of Thee vs every other bloody country’s anthem with the same tune
dangerous beans
King Minos’s palace
Princess Michael’s brooch
El Parador (try the broad bean paste!)
and
a life-sized cutout of Kylie Minogue.

In today’s Bonus Bit of Crap on the App – available for iPadPhones, Android and Windows devices – we continue our Beanchat, and learn about keeping deer out of your flowerbeds, deflating a swollen scrotum, and this predicament that Helen’s eyelid got itself into.

Check in with our other work: Helen and Martin are on stage in the next few weeks, with Radiotopia in the eastern USA, the Bugle in the western USA, and the Allusionist in Australia in June. You can check where and when and how at theallusionist.org/events. Hear the modern Olly Mann on The Modern Mann at modernmann.co.uk.

Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring the show, and for making it so easy to set up a good-looking website for your projects. Visit squarespace.com/answer; play around during the two-week free trial; then when you’re ready to buy your website or domain, you can have get 10% off your first purchase with the discount code ‘answer‘.

If you are in the UK, you can also get two free Audible audiobooks if you go to answermethispodcast.com/audible. Remember to set a calendar alert for 29 June so you get this done before the 30 June 2018 deadline!

There’s no deadline for sending us your QUESTIONS: any time, deliver a voice memo or a written question by emailing answermethispodcast@googlemail.com. You can still use the old ways of calling the Question Line on 0208 123 5877 or Skype ID answermethis, but a lot of those messages haven’t been reaching us lately. So emailing a voice memo is the safer bet.

Be our interfriend at twitter.com/HelenAndOlly and facebook.com/answermethis.

We’ll be back with AMT363 on 7 June 2018, and there’ll be a Retro AMT episode in your feeds on 24 May.
