Get ready for another laugh-out-loud ride with Danny, James, and Jake! We are back in the studio for Episode 107 (missing our girl Rachel this week), and things are getting dangerously spicy and incredibly embarrassing.

First up in "Have You Heard?", Jake introduces us to the European Seagull Screeching Championship. It's a bizarre competitive sport in a Belgian pub where grown adults throw their heads back and aggressively mimic seagulls. We break down the unhinged performances, the nine-year-old UK prodigy known as "Seagull Boy," and somehow also uncover a pig-calling contest in Estonia.

In "Confessionals," James brings the heat with two utterly mortifying stories.

• A drunk best man tries to be edgy during his speech with a joke about a lads' holiday in Magaluf, only to accidentally reveal the groom's past infidelity to the bride—prompting her to walk out and him to be escorted off the premises.

• A mother lets her autistic son walk to the shops alone to build independence, only to discover he has kidnapped a little person and locked them in the family garage like a stray cat.

In "Rachel's Furry Box," Danny steps in to pull out a delightfully grim question: have you ever eaten anything off the floor? The boys debate the five-second rule, dropping a kebab on a night out, and James shares a horrific story about a friend sucking spilled wine directly off the concrete pavement.

Danny dives into the biological gutter for "What the FAQ?" to ask: why are some people left-handed?. He explains "brain lateralization" and crossed wiring, breaks down the "fighting hypothesis" that makes lefties elite boxers, and reveals a wild study claiming left-handers are significantly more satisfied in the bedroom than right-handers.

Finally, we update our Spotify playlist, "The Middlers Soundtrack," with some fresh tracks. This week we add "Things Are Looking Up" by Billy Lockett, "The River" by Daisy Jones & The Six, and "The Spins" by Mac Miller.
