15. 'You Can Train an Ape to Tuck a Baby into Bed' - The Dad Who Still Rents DVDs Off Netflix (ft. May Thompson)

If you got given a baby like in the Truman Show, would you do anything interesting with it? In this Episode we uncover May Thompson's father figures to understand what makes her dad, a man who is 'only just getting into reading', really tick. We also talk about a monkey who escaped from the zoo and became just another visitor, discuss (in great detail) whether a town of trained apes could raise a baby, and Max accidentally takes an important phone call live on-pod! About our Guest: May Thompson is a Cornish standup (Machynlleth Comedy Festival) and comedy writer (BBC Radio Wales), she was a finalist in the Cornish Comedian of the Year and co-hosts the Justin Timberthon Podcast, which explores everything in Justin Timberlake's oeuvre.
