About this episode

Neal explores various humorous topics including music in cars, the history of the four minute mile, and the role of dogs in the Stone Age.

Neal makes the case for casting music to your unoccupied car, shows how to convince your plastic surgeon there’s something worth saving, asks if the bakers’s dozen is nonsense, wonders if there was any place for dogs in the Stone Age, casts an eye over your child’s igloo and sandcastle design, deconstructs the four minute mile, exposes the double life of cartoon dogs, goes over the history of travelling on wheels and looks at The Chuckle Brothers, The Chuckle Hounds, why the baker’s dozen is nonsense, what the meek have for breakfast, why you should carry a photo of your bank in case of emergency and more.
