TOASTED: Kelechi Okafor and THOSE spikes

Tom and Beth are back for another serving of TOASTED—the My Mate Bought a Toaster aftershow. This week, we return to Kelechi Okafor’s extraordinary shopping history to investigate the products that raised even more questions. We read reviews of anti-sitting spikes, discover the alarming world of foot-numbing cream and discuss whether tarot cards predict the future—or simply give people the rare pleasure of feeling properly seen. There are also five listener emails, two utterly ridiculous signs and several contributions from the dogs, who apparently believed they had been booked as regular guests. Links to some of the products discussed are here look: DO NOT SIT HERE SIGN ANTI SITTING HERE SPIKES NUMBING CREAM TOASTED: more purchases, more stories and considerably more background barking.

Kelechi Okafor: Geriatric Twerking, Finding Ciara & Window-Shopping Death

Kelechi Okafor once moved to Atlanta because she believed she and Ciara should be friends. There was no meeting arranged. No address. Not really even a plan. She just… went to Atlanta. Which gives you some idea of the energy of this week’s My Mate Bought a Toaster, especially with that being THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE SHOW. Strap in. Via Kelechi's online shopping history, Tom discovers an extraordinary trail through acting, personal training, pole dancing, homemade wigs, hot yoga, tarot, Muay Thai and a frankly alarming approach to protecting the radiator covers in her studio. Alarming and also completely ineffective. There’s also the small matter of turning 40 and inventing geriatric twerking, why you should be VERY careful about the words “in perpetuity” in a contract, the joys of window-shopping death and why Kelechi is simply too sexy to give away the rights to her voice and likeness forever. One online shopping history. One life story. It's another My Mate Bought a Toaster! Also go and check out our friends at Great Oak Farm. They're ecologists and writers who specialise in the most BEAUTIFUL kids' books. Here's a link look. It's only a few quid and there's Apple Pay so it's done in seconds! See you next week for more Toasted!

The Best of Season 8

What better way to celebrate hot weather, expensive travel, annoying tourists, relentless children and lost sunglasses than by dropping a little cheeky Best of Series 8 on your feed. It's to cheer you up and help you on your merry sunburnt way. Here you'll find some of the highlights of what's been going on this series where once again we've ploughed through people's purchases in order to find their true life stories waiting in between the receipts. We've got big buys (why did Katherine Ryan get SO much vinegar?) and we've got tiny buys such as Stephen Merchant's charming gift of a little toy plane for his fully grown, adult, parents. There's just something about looking across an entire span of someone's Amazon Purchase History that brings out their life's highest points - such as Marcus Brigstocke flying through the air on a tv show knowing he was about to catastrophically break his leg. But we often find life's most terrifying and lowest moments too - a simple weighing scales bought by Emmanuel Sonubi was, it turns out, the first thing he bought after he very nearly died of a massive heart attack. It's a rollercoaster ride, this shopping snooping business. Thanks again for listening and see you a bit later on in the year! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
