Who Takes the Socks Off?
A comedy podcast where a bunch of friends discuss the questions you never even knew you needed an answer to until you heard them.
If you enjoy shows like QI or No Such Thing as a Fish and want an alternative where the truth is important, but the random banter more so; this is the place for you.
Educational? ... Occasionally.
Irreverent? ... Usually.
Random? ... Always!
Who Takes the Socks Off?
Episode 53 - Do Bees Even Have Knees?
Bees!
Bringers of life and pollination.
Fuzzy cousin of the hateful-sting-bastard and all-round busy little Apis!
But do they actually possess the idiomatic knees that are so often bandied about to convey brilliance? Are these “bee’s knees” a real anatomical feature, or just another bizarre phrase humans have cooked up during a sugar crash?
Join Ross, Simon, and returning guest Sunjai Arif as they dive wings-first into the sticky world of bee anatomy, idiomatic nonsense, and other oddities. Along the way, they ask the big questions:
- What makes a knee… a knee?
- Were the 1920's just one big hooch-fest?
- And why do so many English expressions sound like the fever dreams of a Victorian entomologist?
Expect buzzing banter, the return of Sunjai’s hilarious anecdotes, and more insect-based confusion than a wasp at a picnic. It's weird, it's wonderful, and it might just leave you wondering what other body parts we've unfairly attributed to animals.
