David Walliams, P Diddy, and a history of hangovers

The Absolute State of It with John Meagher and Peter Flanagan

Show Notes

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" This week we had a Comedians' 12 pubs of Christmas in London and BOY OH BOY did it take a toll! It sent me into a rabbit-hole learning all about the history of hangovers and their various cures over the centuries (pickles feature heavily). Last night news came out that comedian, presenter, user of black face way after everyone knew it was racist, was dropped by his publisher after a series of sexual assault allegations by female staff members. He denies the allegations and of course has a right to defend himself, but I chat about that. In other "creative people who are massive creeps" news I watched the P Diddy documentary on Netflix and holy Mary mother of God what was he up to! CRazy stuff. Anyway - here you go!
