Talking Codswallop

140. Halloween 2020

From the brain child of Gemma; we bring to you our 2020 Halloween episode. 

Taken from news stories from all around the world, Gemma and James sit around a campfire to tell the Spookiest of Stories... because they are real life stories.

Ouija boards sold in Poundland, Corona Virus masks, incorrectly buried pets, crying dolls and many more stories to put a chill down your spine. OK! I'll be honest, this episode is more funny than scary, the scariest thing is the spelling in the newspaper articles. But, does that put you off? It shouldn't. 

Sit back, relax and let James and Gemma get you in the Halloween spirit.

139. He's a Poet and know's it

This week Gemma is joined by not only an OG #SaltyTadpole but an established author Mr Bob Christian. We discuss his poetry and Bob reads a couple of pieces which are amazing. We also discuss the fact that Bob has Asperger's Syndrome and we will all get a better understanding of this syndrome and what makes the Autistic brain tick. 

This really is a fascinating and insightful episode with some geek talk and fun along the way. Gemma also proves how innocent/naïve she is LOL.

138. Piss Poor Pun

This week Gemma and James are joined by an especially grumpy guest who's spirit animal is Eeyore. Can you guess who it is yet? That's right, Andy returns to the show for the week. 

We discuss Swearing Parrots. What a "Bell-End" did to her hair. What's the buzz about a dog finding something on a walk? Where did a man cycle to and from? What does a man use for his face mask? What is happening outside James' window? All this and MUCH MUCH more. So you'd better get listening to this week's fun filled episode.

137. Keep on Brushing

This week an unwell Gemma and James discuss their eventful week's while they have been away from each other.

Gemma gets the COVID-19 test done, results to be determined (but hopefully negative) due to her #Codswallop this week. James takes us on a quick trip to Car Corner and weather chat (desperate times haha). Gemma shares a weird and bonkers thing she does; do you do it as well? What happens when a man brushes too hard? Could he be staring on Pornhub next week? And why are the magpies in Australia re-enacting scenes from a classic Alfred Hitchcock film; The Birds? Do Australia need anymore deadly animals?....Nope. Asophadolskiopsy? Asophadol? Aso(blergh blergh blergh)iopsy? James struggles with a word, it's the highlight of Gemma's day...as it's normally her. 

Plenty of other things happened, but it's the morning, I'm tired and I can't think... what, do I need to do everything for you people? Why don't you just listen, then that way I won't need to write all of this stuff. :p Haha! I kid of course, I will always write stuff for the Salty Tadpoles. But seriously, do you come here to read or listen? #GawdDangIt! :p

136. [SPUNGE]

This week Gemma had the true honour to speak to her favourite Ska Punk band; [Spunge]. The guys were just as bonkers as Gemma wanted them to be, but she managed to get some questions answers that she's always wanted to know like; what is kicking pigeon's all about? What's coming down the pipe line for [Spunge]? How has lockdown been? and what did Jarvis' dad want him to be when he grew up? He's definitely barking mad. All this, and SOOOOooooo much more. There are many laughs during this episode. 

If your new to [Spunge] check out their Facebook and Twitter handle @SpungeUK, be sure to let them know Talking Codswallop Podcast sent you and their website is spunge.co.uk.

135. Unmic'd and Snotty

The "incredible" Duo return to give you an episode full of unmic'd audio and snotty noses. Of course, we have some laughs along the way. Is that an exotic bird? What happens when you scold your crotch? Why is a doctors surgery getting erotic? Does James steal the punchline from Gemma?.... spoilers, yes he does, that B'stard. 

What else happens? Well... your going to have to stop reading and get listening. I'm convinced that 1/2 of you don't read these anyway. So aliens attack. Gemma and James switch body's in a "Freaky Friday" moment and then they solve all of life's problem... You're welcome. :p

I mean c'mon, Gemma was talking to herself, how much do you need. Oooh and plenty of Gemmaisums.

133. F@&K You Fridge

A shorty but a goody. This week James and Gemma record not one, but two episodes for the Salty Tadpoles, but unfortunately you will only hear one of them. The clue might be in the title as to why the previous recording was deleted... but don't worry, it's Gemma's #Codswallop this week too. 

Car Codswallop. Special guest from a lovely lady. What did a woman swallow (without knowing it)? Short recording, but it's filled to the rafters of comical goodness and of course moaning... it's what we do.

132. Earth Sandwich

This week Gemma is joined by her good friend Luke from Lights in the Sky Podcast, hailing all the way from New Zealand. We discuss the world largest sandwich. Was it a ghost or an intruder? What are Emu's up to? Why aren't kids called Kevin anymore? and... why is beer named after pubic hair? Gemma insults everyone in Birmingham for attempting their accent and also accidentally insults native New Zealanders by pronouncing words incorrectly. Luckily Luke is on hand to help.

129. Steve Ashton

James was busy attending to his "glory holes" for the grand COV-ID free re-opening of "Stafford Holes", so Gemma called upon a friend of the show, Mr Steve Ashton for help. 

Without a second thought, Steve swooped in to the rescue. Find out what Steve called his Granny as a small child. How lockdown has been. What TV programs and films we've both been watching. What's invisible that would be cool to see in real life? And what scared us out as children?

For those who don''t know, Steve can be found on the Ralph Report with Ralph Garman + Eddie Pence, join the patreon here: https://theralphreport.com/, for as little as 15¢ a day (plus tax) you can be a member of the Garmy. 

Gemma is a BAD host and forgot to ask Steve for his socials but luckily the power of the internet meant she could fine them:

128. The Doctor Squee Show

As Podcasters it's fun to talk, but often it's fun to listen... and BOY did we listen to this week's chatterbox of a guest. Play a game of "Where's audio wally... (James)" on this week's episode. 

 

All joking aside, this week's guest is one of Gemma's closest friends, Doctor Squee and we all discuss his new and very awesome podcast "The Doctor Squee Show" and his existing podcast "Due South by South East" which is a Due South podcast with the added extra of RUM. We also discuss his audio play "Fours a Crowd". This is a man with MANY fingers in audio pie. Want to know all about these podcasts? Well then... you'd best grab those headphones and get this episode into your earlobes.
