Moistly Traumatised

This week on Our Shit Podcast, we're diving into the classic lies our parents told us as kids - you know, all those ridiculous myths that somehow convinced an entire generation of children.

We start with the greatest hits: sitting too close to the TV will make your eyes go crossed (spoiler: total bollocks), and how turning on the interior car light will apparently cause a fatal accident. Because nothing says "safety first" like your dad screaming about dome lights.

Then we get into the food lies: eating carrots will give you superhero night vision (thanks for nothing, Bugs Bunny), and the classic "eat your crusts and you'll get curly hair." Apparently this also extends to other types of hair, which led us down a particularly uncomfortable rabbit hole.

Naturally, we couldn't stick to innocent childhood memories, so we ended up discussing topical conspiracies and somehow devolved into excessive use of the word "moist," casual mentions of raw-dogging and going bareback, before concluding that our next career pivot should obviously be the adult film industry. Because that's a totally logical progression.

From innocent parental fibs to questionable life choices, we're exploring the lies that shaped us and the terrible decisions we're making as adults.

Warning: Contains childhood myth-busting, conspiracy tangents, overuse of uncomfortable words, and career advice that absolutely nobody should follow.
