In this episode, the Brain Bubblegum crew give you the finger. We’re going to flip you off, display the one fingered salute, give you the bird. (I hate it when it does that…)

No, we love you all, I promise! But we are going to tell you all about the origins of everyone’s favourite non-verbal passive aggressive insult - the middle finger.

And what episode on the bird would be complete without some notable defining examples throughout history?

In the words of my generation, UP YOURS!

In this episode, the Brain Bubblegum crew look at 10 times the Olympics were insane, hilarious or downright stupid.

From the Ancient Olympics, to Paris 2024, we pick over some of the weirder events that have happened at or around the Olympics.

Fair warning - there will be olive oil, sweat, blood, hormones, and lots of feathers - some of them a little bit burnt.

Today, we think nothing of grabbing a delicious cheap pineapple from our local supermarket shelves any time the mood strikes us.

But go back a few hundred years and you better make sure you have a decent credit limit on that 17th century equivalent of your Black Amex!

In this episode, the Brain Bubblegum crew chews over the fascinating origins of pineapples. From an object of wealth and extravagance, to a symbol of hospitality, to an… erm, symbol of your willingness to share… well, everything, the humble pineapple is anything but.

Just… don’t put that pineapple in your shopping trolley’s top basket.
