November 9, 2026 · 59 min

Show notes

⌚ What time on a digital clock is most pleasing to the eye?

🌍 If you start at the equator, and travel north-east, will you ever hit the north pole?

🎆 And we have some Any Other (Novem)Berness


We have a bumper catch-up chat about the madness that was Matt’s filming of Getting Triggy With It Live. If you want to see the chaotic-mega-cut then the remaining Custom USB Sticks from the Kickstarter will be available to buy soon. You can bet that we’ll link to them here and on socials once they are available.
