    Episode 64 - Why do people enjoy being scared?

    Send us Fan Mail Ever wondered why human beings willingly pay good money to sweat through their shirts or shit their pants? Why they would want to spike their blood pressure, and question every life choice they’ve ever made?  Well this month you can find out as we're diving headfirst into the twisted world of fear! To help us unpack why our brains love being absolutely terrified, we invited Mike and John from the Pocket Knockers podcast to join the chaos.  Together, we dissect the psychology of fear, break down the science of the "fight vs. flight" response (and why our default is usually "scream and hide"), and debate the merits of voluntary trauma.  Whether you’re a certified horror junkie or the type of person who leaves the bathroom light on after watching a creepy trailer, this episode has something for you.  So strap in and get ready for the ride of your life (please keep your arms inside the podcast at all times) Pocket Knockers Website  Attributions:     Asockalypse Now Music by Gregor Quendel, Asockalypse Now Sound Effects by Dennis, Cold Open Background Ambience by Universfield Mechanical door Sound Effect by Paweł SpychałaWoosh Sound Effects by DRAGON-STUDIOAdvert Background  Music by JoyInSound All from Pixabay Who Takes the Socks Off is now a part of the Channel 84 Podcast Network Family!Click here for more information Support the show Help the Socks!

    Episode 63 - Why do so many middle-aged white men start podcasts?

    Send us Fan Mail It's officially a Podlife Crisis!!! Welcome back to Who Takes the Socks Off and this month we are tackling something incredibly close to home and quite frankly, somewhat self-deprecating. Why do so many of us middle aged white men start podcasts? Yes Ross, you are middle aged. With the absolutely wonderful Kate Penfield and some other guy she dragged along called Geoff "James Blunt" Jones, we dive into the world of podcasting, mid-life crisis and why the two seem to go so hand in hand these days.

    Episode 62 - What's the point of frustration?

    Send us Fan Mail Frustration - what's the bloody point in all that then? This month Ross and Simon are joined by their friend Sam Parnell to talk through why us humans evolved frustration. This question kindly provided by Happy Toast proved to be a subject Sam could talk about for hours... then again any subject is something Sam can talk about for hours! Featuring stories of call centres, cupboard disasters and all sorts of other frustration along with quite possibly the most difficult and frustrating round of Sock or Crock in the short history of Sock or Crock (feel free to play along) this is one not to miss.   Sam Parnell Human First Digital Measure Brilliance Twitter LinkedIn Instagram Facebook Attributions:     - Advert Background Noise Sound Effect by freesound_community from Pixabay - Advert Woosh Sound Effect by Jurij from Pixabay - Advert Background Music by Dvir Silverstone  from Pixabay - KarN AI model voiceover provided by ARThritik courtesy of Crimson Urchin Media Who Takes the Socks Off is now a part of the Channel 84 Podcast Network Family!Click here for more information Support the show Help the Socks!

    Send us Fan Mail Something smells fishy!! - Mermaid + Merman = Merbaby... but how!? We're talking physiology here and there's much to discuss. With guest comedian Paul McHugh, Ross and Simon take a deeply educational dive beneath the waves, and tackle the age-old mystery: how exactly do merfolk… make more merfolk?  Prepare for an ocean of uncomfortable ideas, wildly unhelpful answers, and biological theories that would get us thrown out of any reputable marine institute (or an unreputable if we're honest).

    Episode 57 - If Cinderella's shoe fit so bloody perfectly, how the hell did it fall off in the first place?

    Send us Fan Mail Foot fetishists ahoy! This episode is for you! Ross and Simon have been joined by Ross' mate Olly (yes really, he has some) to discuss glass slippers, pumpkins, fairy tales and Disney plot holes. Was the Fairy Godmother a dodgy cobbler with a glitter problem? Did Cinderella fake the fall for dramatic effect? And more importantly, what does this say about female gender roles throughout the ages? From magic to physics, this episode proves once and for all that true love might be blind, but it sure as hell isn’t blister-proof, and we're not talking about the lads hands for once.
