This week starts off sensibly with a chat about vitamins…
......and somehow ends with samurai, school reports, enemas and Anne Diamond tattoos.
We dive head-first into the weird and wonderful world of health fads, from Victorian women sucking rusty nails for iron (yep, really) to 90s miracle drinks, vibrating belts and flushing your insides out with a hose.
Along the way, things go wildly off-road — as they always do.
In This Episode:
Why Victorians were encouraged to suck rusty nails
Cod liver oil, vitamins and the supplement explosion
Aqua Libra – the 90s drink that made you feel healthy just by holding it
Green juices and influencer nonsense
The truly horrifying world of colonic irrigation
Duncan's behind-the-scenes camera tour of his own insides
Tommy's indestructible liver and self-administered organ massage
Cutting up kidneys in school biology class
The worst (and funniest) sex education ever
School reports and teachers who couldn't even get your name right
GCSEs, hangovers and Young Farmers gone wild
Cornflake diets, cabbage soup and grapefruit misery
Ab rollers, vibrating belts and fitness scams
Bullworkers, stuntmen and duelling survival tips
Samurai philosophy, beheadings and how to deal with enemies
And why Anne Diamond might need a tattoo that says "Wait at the Bridge"
