Kirk comes back from popping out to the shops, only 2 years late…

We talk about The Curse of Glen Cambell, how my DJ program predicts our IQs, Rude shipping forecasts and Lewis’s butt, rip-off band names, 1986, bounce baby bounce baby bounce, Hovis 2: The Revenge on DVD and play some cheesy reggae, silly tunes and some cool stuff and some not so cool stuff…
