Talking Codswallop

134. Gem of a Show

Welcome to this week's solo episode with just your "favourite" host, Gemma. Get the title now? Gemma talks to herself for 20+ minutes for your pleasure, hopefully! What did a woman find in iceland's freezer? Did the fly get out alive? Why is James not on the episode? Listener Codswallop from the lovely Westwood's. All that a bit more... I mean c'mon, Gemma was talking to herself, how much do you need. Oooh and plenty of Gemmaisums. 

Gemma's mum listened to the episode prior to release, she laughed in all the right places, sooo... you'd better had too! :p Give Gemma some feedback on the below socials.

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:

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.

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. 

The show wouldn't be our show if we didn't have #Codswallop as well. Plus listener #Codswallop too from @TimDawson87, @pupsnpopculture and @MEvsSANITY311. 

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