GEESE, HORSES, ADVERTISING, MADONNA

Welcome to the show where lying is a competitive sport and the truth is the ultimate prize. Hosted by the master of the logical meltdown, David Mitchell, this episode of challenges our panellists to smuggle actual facts through a "tissue of lies."

In this collection, we explore the territorial nature of Geese, the surprising history of Horses, the psychological warfare of Advertising, and the record-breaking life of the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna. Can you spot the facts, or will the panel smuggle them past you for double points?


🎙️ The "Unbelievable" Topics:
Geese: They aren't just angry birds in the park. From their history as ancient security guards to their surprisingly complex social structures, the truth about geese is truly honkingly bizarre.

Horses: Beyond the racing and the riding lies a species with some of the weirdest biological and historical facts in the animal kingdom. (Did you know they can't breathe through their mouths? Or is that a lie?)

Advertising: It’s the art of convincing you to buy things you don’t need with money you don’t have. Our panellist dives into the bizarre history of marketing stunts and the strange regulations that govern what brands can actually say.

Madonna: With a career spanning decades, Madonna has more "unbelievable" truths than most. From her early days in New York to her global superstardom, can the panel separate the icon from the urban legends?

📖 How the Game Works:
Each panellist delivers a lecture that is almost entirely made up of lies. However, they must hide five unbelievable truths within the script.

The Goal: The other players must "buzz in" when they think they hear a genuine fact.

The Penalty: Points are awarded for spotting a truth, but you lose points if you "buzz" on a lie.

The Smuggle: If a speaker gets a truth past the entire panel without being noticed, they score double points!
