THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 543: CROMITTY AND THE LAIR OF THE JELLY SNAKE!

Here we are for episode 543! Cromitty has been having strange dreams about jelly snakes - he is unable to sleep soundly and is tormented by his nightmares. What can it all mean!?! Are the Yoga Vampires targeting him again and if so how can he overcome their evil attempts to lure him into their dastardly blood-sucking ways? Cromitty seeks help from Paul - but also turns to Trowby, Toppie and Dr Quentin for advice. We also have a few Sutton Park clips from the seemingly never-ending episode 2000 and another quiz with Calum! Thanks to all who assisted with the recording of this edition! Our next show, #544 sees Paul and Nick teaming up to discuss some films and TV of their choice - whilst knocking back a glass or three of white wine!

Here we are for episode 542! This time we are back for another episode of Chatterbox which was recorded over the Jubilee Weekend in June 2022 - and yet we barely mention it because none of us had been paying very much attention. Instead of discussing The Queen we return to chatting about the difference between UK and American words - consider spaghetti junction, drop in on old TV shows (many from 1970) and even pause to have a food and drink quiz! Paul is also concerned about Pooh Bear, Mickey Mouse, Batman, Superman etc. imminently falling out of copyright! We also speak with Calum about his jubilee plans, Yeti Uncle John causes a drunken scene and Lisa gets accidentally lost in time; you really don't want to miss that last one! Our next episode, #543 sees us following Cromitty into the lair of the jelly worm - as bad dreams begin to plague our scientist friend!
