126. Butt, where's my marble?

After a week off, Gemma and James are back to entertain and disturb your lovely ear drums! Do they succeed? Only you can tell. But, you must download the episode to find out. ;) Do it! Do it NOOOOOWWWW!!! :D 

Play a game of Guess the background noise and win a sticker if you get them all correct. 

Gemma discusses her Mum's 70th birthday. What's James done to his toilet? A jokey scenario proves that Gemma and James ARE in fact sick in the head, but very funny too. Can Gemma give up smoking? and more's to the point... Where's the gawd damned marble? 

Much more to entertain you too, so sit back, relax and get us in your ears. 

125. KFC Said Neigh

Does James survive his wasp + loft ordeal and return to the episode this week? Spoilers, yes he does. Gemma addresses Jamie's concerns that James doesn't like him. Why is James called "The Worst Cohost EVER" on this week's episode? Is that Gemma's Codswallop this week? Does Gemma need to retire her microphone? Is that a penis in the front garden? NO HORSES ALLOWED. Kitler and a Smiling Dog. So many questions, why you sitting there thinking of the answers... just download the episode and you'll find out. You know you want too. 

If that's not enough. We introduce the new segment Cut the App and review Pokemon Go. Gemma's trainer code is: 135196731730 if you want to start playing or an existing player and want a new friend.

124. Barfight Codswallop

James needed to attend to some urgent reconstructions, you'll hear what in the episode, so two mighty, awesome SUPERHERO's swooped in from their bar Big Dicks Halfway Inn to help Gemma record this week's episode. 

That's right folks, Gemma this week is join by Jamie Westwood and Tom Stevens from Superhero Barfight Podcast. They play two music games, the old faithful and ever so popular Name That Reverse Tune (now with jingle) makes an appearance along with a new game too. 

Jamie talks about his Ice-Cream business: https://www.facebook.com/westysicecream; folks from Birmingham and surrounding areas can enjoy some delicious cold stuff. People from Dorset.. not so much (I'm not jealous.. you are!).

123. Happy Father's Day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU/YOUR DADDY'S OUT THERE. 

This week's episode, although comedy, is more of a real feels episode. James and Gemma discuss their Dad's and share stories and reminisce on how wonderful their dad's were/are. This was a hard episode for Gemma to record as her Dad has passed away, but she felt it was time to share the stories. Some sad, some lovely, some gawd damned funny stories are shared by both. 

BIG thank you to JayRay from @AnANobodyPod, Melissa from @BrookReadingPod, @agraveforcrows and #SaltyTadpole Bob; @BChristianpoet for sharing their Father's Day stories as well.

Happy Father's Day, John Stafford + Robert (Bob) Williams and to all of you other Father's out there.

It's the Gemma and James show this week and boy are they as random as usual. Are coffee lovers nutty? Find out our thoughts in this episode. Would you rather? Story of the week, and of course our usual Codswallop. Sorry about Gemma's audio, I guess she's human too, there is a really good reason for it. She'll explain on next week's episode. 

For those of you who read this... We need some help, if you'd like to participate; We'd love our Salty Tadpoles to submit their Codswallop's of the week for the "What a Load of Codswallop" segment and random/interesting stories of the week if you have them. We will of course give you a shout out for each submission. Also, I'm interested to see how many of you lovable buggers actually read what I type in here... One day I might test again and just write "Blah blah blah" :p
