the strictness in Strictly Come Dancing

actual bargains at TK Maxx
actual half penny halfpennies
Harrison Ford’s brand of grumpiness
that stripy pasta
how long you can leave a creamy shrimp bisque out on the kitchen counter on a hot day
stickers hypo-allergenic latex-free goodies at the dentist
counting how far away lightning is
ethics of editing
The Young Visiters [sic! (ugh at the ‘sic’)]
WWTGWTDTD (What Would The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Do)
Darius the Great‘s coins
and
Alexander the Great’s cum gutters.

Olly‘s several podcasts can be found via ollymann.com, and include his monthly magazine show The Modern Mann, and his daily history show Today in History with the Retrospectors,

Helen makes the entertainment podcast about language, The Allusionist, with recent episodes about phobias and the fear of saying people’s names.

Martin makes the weird experimental podcast Neutrino Watch, where each episode is a little different each day you download it. He also worked on The Propagandists, the new miniseries from Drilled.

EPISODE 338: space cake

Your mother’s been given some free space cake but she doesn’t want to fail her workplace’s random drug tests. What should she do? In Answer Me This! Episode 338, we tackle this question as well as such issues as:

Olympic medals
Olympic rings
human urine vs cat urine
marriage vs Masada
capital city compromises
having a lot of weddings
popping your pussy
pole vault penis problems
IKEA product names
and
things to do with egg yolks.

Plus: Olly’s interest in sport is exhausted for another four years; Helen would rather be left with a yolk than an eggwhite; and Martin the Sound Man’s feet are irresistible to Harvey Mann. Another Fergie-style scandal in the making?

If, like Harvey, you can’t get enough of Martin the Sound Man, get our app – available on iThings, Android and Windows devices – because today’s Bonus Bit of Crap on the App is the tale of Martin’s recent triumphant mission to Coinstar. Guess how much! Go on, guess!

And guess how many classic episodes of AMT await you at answermethisstore.com? 200! If you buy any of them, or our special albums – eg the AMT Sports Day or Answer Me This! Holiday or AMT Love – you’re both audiotaining yourself AND helping to support the show. Likewise if you get yourself a free audiobook at answermethispodcast.com/audible.

To send us questions for future episodes, call the Question Line on 0208 123 5877 or Skype ID answermethis, and email answermethispodcast@googlemail.com. Be our interfriend at twitter.com/helenandolly and facebook.com/answermethis.

We’ll be back on 8 September with AMT339,

Helen & Olly
