Talking Codswallop

179. STICKY

When you say CANDYMAN, CANDYMAN, CANDYMAN! in the mirror you want our next guest to appear. This week Gemma sits down to discuss the magic of Rock candy with the King of the Sticky's; Mr David King. 

Dave is one of the creators behind the company Sticky, which is taking the internet by storm with their livestream videos. The story of this company is amazing from how it all began, how it was nearly all over and how the internet saved the company. The lovingly nicknamed Sticky Weirdo's (their fan base) helped to make this incredible journey. Dave shares some of the stories he's received from people expressing how their video's have helped people's mental health and well being and as a watcher myself (yes, I'm Gemma... surprise), I can see why. All of the staff are extremely entertaining & fascinating, while we get a insider view on how to make candy's, or as we would call it in the UK Stick of Rock. These people are officially artists in my eyes and seem to be able to create ANYTHING with sugar. 

Salty Tadpoles & Sticky Weirdo's you are all in for a treat with this episode, and a big thank you from me to ALL of the staff at Sticky for keeping me entertained during boring work days. It was a honour to speak to David King about this journey. Thank you to all of the Sticky Weirdo's who submitted questions for Dave.

176. James, Who?

Guess what... James' microphone is still not working, so Joanne steps up to the mark and joins Gemma on the OG Codswallop show. Could this be a girlie show? All about makeup and hair styles? Nope, think again.. we pick on James, discuss the similarities between Derry Girls and real life Northern Ireland with some eye opening stories, Terry Pratchett, Bridgeton, Football, Politics, Religion and what we are watching on Disney+. Why is Joanne painting guns? What are the best and most groan-worthy Dad Jokes? All this and much more fun and laughs, including Codswallops.

174. Legal Beagle

James has managed to break not 1 but 2 microphones, so this week Gemma beams up the Fish light for Codswallop help and manages to catch herself a Lurker Fish, formally known as Eeyore.. that's right folks Andy makes guest appearance this week. They discuss #Codswallops, one which is a heartfelt & emotional Codswallop, a REAL LIFE Salty Tadpole Interaction, when a tadpole comes to visit, what they are watching on the TV/Films, why it's not a good idea to ride a bike near Andy when running, Salty Tadpole answers to STI of the week and Gemma gets so involved with a story she makes the dog bark. All this and much more funny. Grab yourself a change of underwear, you might need them with this one. 

This episode is dedicated to Lyra, the beautiful little girl who didn't get to meet her Mummy, Daddy and siblings. Sending lots of love to Jarred and his family - story as discussed during the episode.

171. Vocal Visual Artistry

Are you sitting comfortably, then let Gemma tell you not one, but two embarrassing stories. One long, one short, but both are entertaining and shocking. James lets us all know what he's been watching and his thoughts. An astounding amount of responses to our Salty Tadpole Interaction this week that we couldn't read all of them, but a BIG GIANT thank you to everyone who answered, it truly meant a lot to us both. Is that Pate? Where's the beef? All this and much more.

170. Toilet Humour

What to say about this week's episode? Well... we enjoy some Would You Rather's, Gemma has an unexpected visitor during an inappropriate time. Which is better ZigZag or Rizla rolling papers and why is Gemma not giving away her cigarettes? Where will the Tadpoles venture to on the Magic School Bus? James gets rather heated after a story of the week and what was up a man's bum? AND the usual Codswallop.
