Episode 161 - Predators: Hippopotamus

Are they even predators?

We start with Dad’s ears, anniversary flowers, and the bleak realisation that most men only receive flowers at their funerals, before hearing a genuinely horrific Christmas story involving crushed tablets, squash, and accidental laxatives. Then it’s on to hippos — whether they really count as predators, why they kill so many people, how they ended up roaming Colombia, and the time they lived in what is now London. We finish with a hippo song and a quiz that’s somehow both infuriating and David’s favourite thing we’ve ever done.
