What better way to celebrate festive season than with TWO Fourskins episodes in a row?! We’ve unlocked a new character - The Christmas Catcher - and he rocked up with a sack full of cursed hypothetical scenarios.
Similar to episodes #412 and #533 (“Not So Superpowers”), each brilliant festive perk comes with a truly horrible catch. The boys fight over them, each taking three… and whatever undesirable option the others reject gets dumped on Jaack.
There’s everything from hangover-proof pints to the perfect Christmas dinner to a very problematic Santa. There’s a battle against 30 sprouts and an even bigger pig in blanket. One of the boys is risking a future scandal just for his dream Christmas, and another is stuck choosing between crusty fingernails or being called a melt by his hero…

614 - Station Stalkers, Foot Fetishes, & Robbie’s Getting Groomed (A Festive Fourskins All Caught Up!)
Festive season. Fourskins. Feet. At least two of these are our favourite things. The boys are back from their break with some huge news!
Alfie recounts a genuinely terrifying late night encounter with a stalker at the train station. Jaack reveals that his pictures have somehow ended up on a fetish website. Robbie has a new drinking buddy but is he being unknowingly groomed?
Jaack shares how he massively embarrassed himself in front of an F1 driver. Stevie had a miserable marathon experience and turned his frustration into Karen energy by complaining about the most minor things.
Jaack also brings us the story of a flightless flamingo who managed to escape from a UK zoo, and he reads out a selection of jokes written by five year olds, which are potentially funnier than anything the rest of them have said all ep.

613 - GREG JAMES - Viral David Attenborough Moment, Chuckle Brothers Obsession, & The WORST Celebrities He’s Ever Interviewed
We’re kicking off the festive season with broadcaster and all-round simply lovely man Greg James, who is living proof that getting up at 4 a.m. every day doesn’t automatically turn you into a grump. We’ll admit we have a soft spot for Greg, partly because he went to university in our hometown. We put his Norwich knowledge to the test, covering everything from “Who is The Puppet Man?” to the correct pronunciation of “Wymondham.”
Greg tells us what David Attenborough volunteered to do during their interview that sent the internet into a frenzy, and he takes on our word-association game featuring names like Miley Cyrus, Steve Carell, and The Rock. We dive into his most memorable listener interactions and the most starstruck moment of his career.
He also shares some pretty divisive opinions on the five best sports, explains the concept of “waste days,” and reminisces about terrible under-18 nightclubs. And, as a huge fan of baths himself, Jaack has his mind blown when Greg reveals the ritual that makes bath time 1,000× better.
Greg’s book ‘All The Best For The Future’ is out NOW.

612 - Shower Thoughts
The boys unravel a stream of strangely curious but pointless questions - the kind that normally arrive when you’re zoning out while showering or, in Jaack’s case, sitting at a red light approximately 8 seconds before something crashes into the back of your car.
We’re pondering if dogs truly know their names, whether a straw has one hole or two, if a fish can actually count as a pet, and whether punching yourself and feeling pain makes you strong or weak.
Is the voice in your head really your own voice or more like mental subtitles narrating your life? Does everyone see the same colours as everyone else? Can you ever truly think of nothing?

611 - MR DOODLE - Covering A £1.6 Million Mansion Entirely In Doodles, & Dealing With Psychosis
In today’s episode, we sit down with Mr Doodle - one of the most unique artists on the planet - to hear about how he’s turned the world into his very own canvas for his signature “graffiti spaghetti” and viral art projects.
Sam talks us through the two year process of covering every inch of his six-bed, £1.6million home in black and white doodles, his wife’s reaction, and what it’s actually like to live inside his own potentially migraine-inducing artwork.
Sam openly discusses his psychotic episode, what he experienced during his stint in a psych ward, his hallucinations involving Covid and Banksy, and whether he thinks his doodling obsession was a potential factor in his psychosis diagnosis.
We also hear about fatherhood, his thoughts on AI’s role in the future of art, and the surprising link between Sam and Stevie. Stick around to the end of the episode where we ask Sam to leave his iconic mark on our studio wall!
