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

Show Notes

In this episode of Things We Didn't Know, Carl relives the absolute terror of hosting The One Show on live BBC One (where everyone was Ashley Banjo), explains why celebrating birthdays after 21 is a sign of weakness, and reveals why he was banned from bringing an entire coolbox into a luxury spa. Meanwhile, Jason explains why he almost threw down over the Fenwick Christmas window queue and breaks down the real reason Greggs pasties are never allowed to be hot. Plus, we uncover the medical marvel of getting hammered purely on pasta, revisit Jarrow’s finest local tribute act "Hedworth Humperdinck," and unearth childhood estate games that should strictly remain in the 1990s.
