12. A (potato) waffle with Matthew Crosby

It's a comedy (and carb) bonanza this week, with the wonderful Matthew Crosby, who is one third of Pappy's! We still don't know quite how that happened.

TWEETS - this week the ‘tweet’ is actually an instagram reel to introduce you to the Trusty Hogs podcast. In this clip, we hear about ‘Helen’s stairwell incident’. Listen to episode 86 of Trusty Hogs for the full, haunting story. 

In our interview with Matthew, he chose to sing the praises of potatoes, which he declares to be the most versatile vegetable, and in fact most versatile thing in the known universe. We also mention:

• James Acaster's new podcast 'Springleaf'
• The ultimate weirdness of encountering someone who you've listened to for hours on podcasts (chiefly Jimmy Pardo of 'Never Not Funny' fame)
• This video about potato dishes from around the world, inexplicably made by Business Insider.
• The Norwegian lefse, shown in this video
• Air-fried gnocchi
• Bonus Carb Content - a Georgian man called Georgy makes so much kachapuri

In a blatant attempt to copy the 'Beckenham Recs' feature from Matthew and Ed Gamble's Radio X show, Nancy tries to 'Bec Rec' some podcasts to Matthew.

• Shameless and their 'Scandal' episodes (because it reminds Nancy of Hollywood Crime Scene)
• That’s Messed Up, an SVU podcast
• Ruined, where scared people can have horror films spoiled for them
• Lolita Podcast and Inside Mensa by Jamie Loftus
• Bonus Bec Rec from Matthew - Earshot- 'A succulent Chinese meal'
