Episode 12: UFOs - Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends Watch-Along

Created by Greer Riddell in Podcasts on 12 Jun 2020

In another week of Coronavirus confusion, Greer and Bethan contemplate whether they actually know 6 members from other households that would willingly meet up with them in a park at two metres distance. As social distancing has been a firm feature of their friendship for the last few years, Bethan proves it to be even more essential when discussing bird seed, sparrow hawks and Chris Packham at the beginning of this episode.

If you make it through the questioning of “How much bird seed does one need?” and, Greer’s quick Google to see whether Pen Island is still active, you will reach the second episode of Anecdotally’s Weird Weekends Watch-Along.

This week Greer and Bethan take a look back at Louis Theroux’s experiences with UFOs. He visits Thor Templar the self-proclaimed ‘Lord Commander of The Earth Protectorate’, communicates with an Extra-Terrestrial for $50 and goes on a tour with Renee, the ‘Wet Wipe’, to Area 51 (not 41.)

Greer manages to say the words, ‘scrotum’, ‘testes’, ‘penis’ and ‘rectum’ more times than she ever has before and Bethan looks up Area 51 hotels on Trip Advisor. They also discuss whether you bought into the early 00s scandal of breeding your gooey aliens by putting them back to back.
