If you enjoy strange headlines, Reddit rabbit holes, and comedy with a dose of common sense, this one's for you.

This week on A Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, I give an update after my car ended up in the garage, forcing me to borrow my wife's car for the week.

We also dive into another collection of fascinating stories from Reddit, including a neighbour who reported a perfectly legal driveway only to discover his own garage wasn't supposed to be there, and a thought-provoking question about what happens to elderly widows living under Taliban rule if they have no male relatives.

We also visit India's famous rat temple, one of the most unusual religious sites in the world.

And in Weird News... a California court case involving psychedelic mushrooms left me wondering how some headlines can possibly be true.

As always, it's a mix of Reddit stories, strange facts, weird news and my completely unnecessary opinions.

This week on A Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, I give an update on how my Half Soaked show went and whether all the preparation paid off.

We also dive into a question from Reddit asking what your personal warning label would be, discuss a genuinely bizarre paranormal story involving a man who apparently vanished into thin air in broad daylight, and tackle a very British problem involving companies that seem incapable of stopping themselves from sending Father's Day emails.

In this week's What the F?! we discover how two men managed to turn the entire planet into a sandwich.

And in Weird News... let's just say one scientific discovery left me checking the headline more than once because I genuinely couldn't believe what I was reading.

As always, I pick random topics from Reddit and share my thoughts, stories and completely unnecessary opinions on them.

This week on A Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, I'm gearing up for my Half Soaked show and sharing a few stories from the comedy circuit, including the unexpected moment I found myself chatting to world snooker champion Kyren Wilson at a gig.

We also dive into a brilliant AITAH story involving a group of siblings who hired professional cleaners to prove their mum was impossible to please when it came to housework.

Then it's onto a proper British problem after a sleep-deprived resident tries to help a postman out and somehow ends up getting called an anchor.

In this week's What the F?! we look at the story of Prometheus, the world's oldest known non-clonal tree, which survived for nearly 5,000 years before being cut down by researchers.

This week on A Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, we cover everything from awkward office friendships to blood donation guilt, bizarre comedy gigs and forgotten words.

We react to a confession from a man who fake laughed at a coworker’s jokes for so long that he accidentally became his emotional support audience.

Then we discuss a RandomThoughts post about the strange irony of regularly donating blood… only to later find yourself unable to help a family member in need because you donated too recently.

There’s also a surprisingly positive British Problems post about remembering the good things about living in the UK — which makes a nice change from everyone constantly moaning.

I also give an update on my recovery since my recent incident, continue reading some of the funniest and strangest comedy gig stories from The Comedy Crate, and in Weird News… we look at a word that’s apparently become impossible to search online.

Plus in “What the F?!” — a strange story involving gold coins.

We react to a confession from someone who secretly cashed in their brother’s winning lottery ticket and used the money to pay off their own debts… before the guilt slowly started catching up with them years later.

Then we head into conspiracy territory with a discussion around “Tartary” and whether old maps really prove the existence of a hidden lost empire — or whether the internet has simply done what the internet always does.

We’ve also got a surprisingly emotional British problem about people throwing away perfectly good toys, plus I read through some of the funniest and strangest stories people have witnessed at live comedy gigs from a post by The Comedy Crate.

And in Weird News… this week’s story is apparently so bad I genuinely had to give listeners a warning before reading it out.
