Send us Fan Mail Episode 242 – A Tall Order This week on Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, I've been testing the limits of my stomach with a calorie disaster, reflecting on a recent corporate comedy gig at a golf club, and looking back at my solo show Half Soaked at the Birmingham Comedy Festival. Over on Reddit, someone's discovered a vending machine that's been giving away free drinks for years, while another person finds that buying an electric bike to make life easier has had quite the opposite effect. There's another round of Puns Without Pictures, and in What the F...?, we uncover the extraordinary story of a Portuguese nun accused of witchcraft and making a rather unusual deal with the Devil. And in Weird News, we meet someone who's gone to extreme — and extremely painful — lengths to gain a few extra inches. Food disasters, free drinks, bizarre history and the usual nonsense. It's Episode 242 – A Tall Order! 🎙️ New episodes every Monday. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lovdevbarpagacomedian Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week on Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, I've been pumpkin picking, rescuing a racing pigeon that had been missing for seven days, and remembering the time being distracted by my mobile phone nearly got me run over. Then it's over to Reddit. Should your blood type be on your birth certificate? Does everyone moo when they drive past cows? And one husband is struggling with his wife's new dog — a four-legged ball of chaos that's chewing everything in sight, including the remote control. And in Weird News, we meet a very old bear who's helping fight modern-day wildlife crime. Pigeons, pumpkins, phones, pets and the usual nonsense — it's Episode 241 – Oh No, Not the Remote Control!  🎙️ New episodes every Monday. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee buymeacoffee.com/lovdevbarpagacomedian Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Episode 240 – Like a Bat Out of Hell It's been a week of technological disasters in the Barpaga household, so this episode starts with me having a bit of a rant about everything deciding to go wrong at once. Then it's over to Reddit for some relationship terminology, a debate about when giving people lifts turns into becoming their unpaid taxi service, and a very British complaint about the ridiculous price of pretty much everything these days. And, of course, there's Weird News — featuring two stories that are bizarre for VERY different reasons, including one hell of a way to wake up in the morning. All that, plus the usual ramblings, on Episode 240 of Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev... Like a Bat Out of Hell. 🎙️ New episodes every Monday. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lovdevbarpagacomedian Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week on Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, we're back with another mixture of stories, observations and complete nonsense. I talk about a TED Talk that got me thinking about how we hold onto our memories, and Puns Without Pictures returns for another round. We also head to Reddit for a confession that went dangerously wrong, a very British complaint about packed trains, and discover something surprising about the humble paper aeroplane. Then we finish with Weird News, involving an unwanted late-night visitor, a swimming pool and an encounter that gives this week's episode its title...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, we're going from ancient Rome to chocolate doughnuts and somehow ending up on a motorway. In What The F...?, we discover that Pompeii wasn't the only settlement caught up in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius — and the strange story of a Roman city that was buried, rediscovered and then buried again. Over on Reddit, there's a wedding argument involving a 13-year-old boy who somehow ends up being outdressed by the dog, plus a very British crisis: whatever happened to the simple chocolate doughnut? Then Weird News finishes things off with an absolutely bizarre driving story that gives Episode 238 its title.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 237 – Grip of the Dead This week on Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, there's a real mixture of funny, strange and slightly more personal stories. I talk about a recent corporate event, as well as the sad loss of my uncle. Puns Without Pictures returns after receiving some surprisingly positive feedback, and we head back down the Reddit rabbit hole for a confession involving some seriously committed revenge on a landlord and a very British rant about “Baby on Board” signs — which reminds me of something I witnessed myself. There's also a little history behind Rock, Paper, Scissors, before Weird News finishes things off with a bizarre story involving a patient and a skeleton that gives this week's episode its rather sinister title. Comedy, Reddit, ridiculous observations and the usual nonsense. 🎙️ New episodes every Monday. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lovdevbarpagacomedian Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Episode 236 – The Tunisian Princess Diana I'm back! There was no episode last week because I swapped the microphone for a holiday in Djerba, Tunisia. This week's episode is a little different. No Reddit rabbit holes and no Weird News — just me catching you up on the holiday. I talk about our villa, exploring Djerba, visiting the historic El Ghriba Synagogue, some of the people we met along the way and, somehow, encountering what I can only describe as the Tunisian version of Princess Diana. It's basically half an hour of holiday stories, observations and me jabbering on about Tunisia. Normal service will resume shortly... probably. 🎙️ New episodes every Monday. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lovdevbarpagacomedian Support the show

Then we finish with a Weird News story from Washington DC involving a suspicious discovery that brought in some rather serious attention — and inspired this week's episode title.
