Things We Didn't Know with Jason Cook and Carl Hutchinson

Show Notes

Carl and Jason are back with another gloriously chaotic episode of Things We Didn’t Know, tackling everything from lost children in department stores and a lifetime wasted washing dishes to Jason’s incredibly strict rules about cheese.

This week’s Geordie Facts takes a trip through Newcastle’s live entertainment history, from Sam Fender packing out St James’ Park to the legendary Hyena Comedy Club... complete with brutal hecklers, disastrous gigs and the night Jason’s mam decided to confront one herself. There are bizarre shoe facts, the world’s most expensive movies, listener facts about the USA, and the revelation that Ed Sheeran once ended up at a charity gig with the lads.

And just when things couldn’t get stranger, Jason reveals how he once delivered a speedboat to an African warlord, while Karl uncovers what he believes might be a very niche Italian lager conspiracy. Educational? Technically. Sensible? Absolutely not. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
