It has been brought to my attention that I neglected to post the link to the 2004 Sri Lankan handball team singing 'It Wasn't Me'. This is true. It is also true that they were in fact singing 'My Angel'. This podcast is researched with all the academic thoroughness and rigour becoming of a college dropout who lives mostly on protein bars and Monster.
Anyway this is a fun documentary for those of you who speak German. If you don't speak German and also don't know what the f**k I'm on about, check us out on SoundCloud

A brief correction- Olga of Kiev, 10th century Ukraine's baddest bitch, was born in or around 890, not 1890. If you're desperate to hear MJ Stokes f**k up - or if you just think explosive revenge and kayaking shennanigans sound cool - you can listen on SoundCloud, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
