The foxes in town are a mystery that needs to be solved. Where do they live? Why are people feeding them eggs? How did they get so brazen? Calvin and his co-host this week Dec Pierce take on this mystery and all the other random listener question in this bonus episode.
They talk about holding in a laugh at a funeral, and Calvin wonders what coffins he'll make the cut to carry. They brainstorm ideas for new vending machines and they learn what a gable wall is.

Calvin's joined by Darren and Amy Conway for this week's bonus episode and somehow they managed to answer a few listener questions despite the many, many tangents.
Darren talks about his 'mate' Paul Mescal, and Calvin tries to ban tuna from deli counters and in between it all they ask whether reading a book and listening to the audio version is the same thing?
