004: Jumping Goldfish, Murder Mysteries in Space and a Casual Chat with Joaquin Phoenix with Dan and Steve (1-2)

The Serious Business Podcast

This week Dan and Steve have a lot of very serious lessons to learn. Steve tells us the strangest thing you’ll ever hear about fish as an innocent birthday gift almost goes wrong while Dan introduces us to charcoal cheese and sticky toffee cheese from his time at the Great British Food Festival. Where’s the lesson in that you may ask? You can never go wrong with cheese.

Steve’s saving the world one minor inconvenience at a time by suggesting a series of ever so slightly annoying happenings as punishments for non-violent criminals (imagine eating spag bol only with a knife, good luck), Dan has another excellent idea with the world’s first murder mystery in space, eyeballs will definitely be glued to the screen for that one, and one question that we’ve all thought about at least once in our time; why do police still ride horses? Surely the horses would prefer a quiet night in with a bit of hay and carrots rather than a loud human-fueled riot?

MORE SERIOUS STUFF:

• The dangers of skipping and its speedy consequences
• A surprise phone call with the REAL Joaquin Phoenix AND Ant and Dec (fun fact: Ant and Dec are indeed one person)
• Dan puts himself forward for the role of Chief Inconvenience Coordinator. Could you do better? Probably not
• More bug puns from our listeners!

Lots of lessons to learn this week with Dan and Steve that will be sure to make you think about your next goldfish purchase or at least make you grateful next time you’re stuck driving behind a cow on the road. You may have to tune in to get that one.
