10.13 - Christmas Dinner with The Florida Pod Men
If stories were food, we’d be serving up drinks, appetisers, a couple of main courses and some dessert. Loosen your belts!

Wrapping up our 10th season we go very off topic but do manage to tell two new Florida Man stories. One has a giant knife.
After a long pre-amble about airplane seats and travel tips, we meet two Florida Men who get up to some bad stuff in traffic.
Nearly-nude crime at a mini-golf course. The host of a haunted house gets pistol-whipped.
The most off-topic episode yet. Eventually we get around to two stories about Florida Men and their cars.
This week: Crimes involving meat, Sprite, a crotch, a couch, a doctor, a migration and either a liver or a spleen.
Two naughty mums battle it out. There’s a long story about a famous knitter and Chris contemplates if cows have faces.
This one will forever be known as the "flipping birds, smashing wheelchairs, doing donuts, spitting silicone, collapsing lungs, popping intestines" episode.
Featuring a soggy getaway and a soggier lottery ticket. Chris also combs his beard.
Do people even read these descriptions?
We see how far you might go to satisfy those taste buds and Captain Bringdown gives us a medical mystery tour. Only in Florida.
In this episode we'll take a peek at one of Florida's serial mischief makers and analyse another bullet-through-ballsack incident
We are back in Florida for a brand new season! Back to basics. Bring on the mayhem!
The scratching is over. In our final Needlescratch episode we deal with some creepy stories that are almost too weird to be true. The fact that there's a doll in one of them guarantees creepiness.
A quick episode this week. All sorts of talk about thumbs, puffins, brains and Lego.
Two famously bad experiences needlescratched to include their lesser-known happy endings. You think you know these viral stories, but you don't. Unless you do. Then you can skip this episode.
OOPS! We had lost this early episode due to technical reasons but have now un-lost it. Scary stories abound. Maybe not for the sensitive listener...
Get out your accordions! We start in France with a corrupt, haunted politician and then we head to New England for a bit of a sea shanty.
Suspicious substances abound in this episode. We go behind the scenes of a Netflix hit and to a weird village in Brazil.
More stories about missing loved ones. In typical FPM fashion, the loved ones aren't quite what you expect.
Two missing husbands today. Both missing for very different reasons.
We're confident in saying that this is the only podcast episode ever to feature a sexy pub injury and two dead Frenchmen. Prove us wrong!
Lots of short stories this week. Brain damage, dying wishes, a mysterious whale, bad firefighting and even worse pronounciation.
A Yorkshirman, a Canadian, a thumb in a can of pop, a flying sandwich, an organ donation reality show and a suspicious bank customer.
Everything is rotten in today's two stories. Literally.
Time for two more news stories with a twist. We start with a serious story and then things get ridiculous.
We're back...with a twist. And the twist is that our stories this season all have plot twists. They don't necessarily feature Florida Men or Idiots from around the world either. That's probably another twist. Hey ho. Cue the needlescratch...
Two Chinese idiots ruin a UNESCO Heritage Site and a distinguished career is ruined over Zoom. We also say goodbye as we move on to something else.
Shiny artistic poop & a suspected mass killing feature as we try to salvage some stories from one of the officially crap letters of the alphabet.
Sweet treats abound in an episode that wasn’t supposed to be Xmas themed but one of us missed the brief.
