Bayeux Tapestry’s Secret Stitch-Up: 93 Penises and a Royal Fluff-Picking Scandal

 
Help I Sexted My BossRecap of the show on

The big reveal this episode came courtesy of producer Ben's pop quiz, which confirmed that the Bayeux Tapestry contains a staggering 93 penises – "although there is one disputed penis so it could be 94," William explained, citing dueling scholarly opinions on a mysterious dangling shape. Jordan, naturally, found this far more compelling than the history lesson, declaring he's "seen more cocks than your rug" before losing the quiz spectacularly (one point, for correctly guessing William the Conqueror's horse was the best-endowed figure depicted).

The episode's funniest tangent arrived via a listener email from Emily, who revealed how her husband lost his wedding ring in his underwear during a honeymoon flight to Thailand – only for it to turn up later in his "sit-down wee hammock," the pouch some men use to rest phones and wallets while weeing sitting down. Jordan happily confirmed he's a hammock user himself, admitting he's lost a work pass in there for ten minutes, prompting William to demand anti-bac wipes for Jordan's phone live on air.

Elsewhere, listener Zoe revealed William's etiquette lessons once helped her impress a tour guide with knowledge of Princess Margaret's former flame, Group Captain Peter Townsend, while the pair bickered amiably over soup spoon history, Jordan's crossword debut on the NYT Mini, and plans for producer Ben's "Cuck Cam" to continue even when Ben himself is away, with listeners weighing in on alternative names for the segment.
