561 - GRACE NEUTRAL - Body Modification, Tattooed Eyeballs, EATING Your Own Skin, & Dick Splitting!
Tattoo artist and body mod icon Grace Neutral sits down for a brutally honest deep dive into the world of extreme body modification. Spending her childhood training as a ballerina, her life drastically changed direction after discovering the punk scene. Grace talks us through her own body mod procedures - none of which are actually legal - from a split tongue, to pixie ears, to tattooed eyeballs, to a removed belly button.
Grace delves into how kink and mental illness have an impact on people seeking out body modifications. She shares which of her mods she regrets, and her family’s opinion on her transformation. We get into her early days as a piercer, the sketchy ethics of underground modding, and how deeply misogynistic tattoo shop culture can be.
We learn about an 107 year old tattoo artist, and the man whose mods are too extreme even for Grace! We also learn about sounding, scarification, and what it’s like to eat your own skin…

560 - Robbie's Dead :-(
Shenanigans is shenani-gone. The wolf went hungry, and starved to death. Someone ripped his f*cking arms off. Robbie has died of old age (just kidding, but he is really old).
In this episode, Jaack and Stevie are planning Robbie's 'dream' funeral. From the entrance song, to the dress code, to surprise guests, to the food and music choices at the wake, the boys have complete free rein and Robbie has to choose which option he would prefer for his final send-off.
What does his coffin look like? What should his gravestone say? And most importantly... how did he die?!

559 - THE KOOKS - Rolling Stone Diss, Misheard Lyrics, & Kicked Out Of Their OWN Gig!
This week, Jaack and Stevie are joined by the band that defined their teenage years - The Kooks! Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris talk us through their early days at BRIT school, getting signed by Virgin Records at just 16 years old (too young to legally sign a contract!), and dealing with the fame that came practically overnight.
With no plans to even be a singer, Luke tells us which songs were unexpected viral hits, why he was kicked out of his own gig, and what happens when Rolling Stone gives your debut album a scathing review…
Hugh shares the absolutely ridiculous band name suggestion that was turned down, why he wasn’t a fan of their huge hit ‘Naive’, and the unconventional place he chose to write the new album.
The boys reveal their pre-show rituals, mad rider demands, and the most rock-and-roll thing they’ve ever done. There’s also a UFO sighting and a ghostly encounter thrown in. Ooh la!
