868: Like Fanta But From a Dog (12 January 2026)

Neal considers a particularly violent fruit, an appalling game called Punch Buggy, the George Formby grill and discography, salmon weirdness in the education system, Fionn McCumhaill and the mythological salmon of knowledge, raw milk enthusiasts, a week of leaks, breakages and cat death, the case for reinventing the wheel, why coffee cups don’t have windows, Fanta but from a dog, why we evolved to not drink all the water, eau de toilette, listening in a coma, a stash of holy water, cat milk versus cat’s milk, Steve Martin’s several careers, the Patrick Stewart Ian McKellen pairing, fish-like aliens on Star Trek, Ferengi, Scampi, fudge in confectionery, fudges in international diplomacy, using time travel to prevent smoking, pre-smoked meats versus unsmoked tobacco, does your dog think you’re a potato, holy water versus Mercury retrograde and more.
