House Meeting (Head First) S14E16

·52 min·5 clips
Tom's mind wanders during recording, but Crosby's last train anecdote holds his attention for a record 75%.
The episode opens with the hosts teasing an unprofessional moment and a shocking event at minute 37, setting a comedic tone. They introduce the episode as a house meeting format, where Crosby shares a detailed anecdote about going out with Clark, missing the last train, and accidentally walking into a glass door at Marks & Spencer at midnight, resulting in a goose egg on his forehead. This leads to a discussion about which body part one leads with when walking, prompting Clark to reveal he saw a video of himself walking and was surprised by his lumbering gait. Tom shares a story about realizing he was going bald after seeing the back of his head in a bank monitor 15 years ago. The conversation shifts to Tom shaving his own head to save money on haircuts, estimating savings of £70 per cut, and the sense of achievement it brings. They joke about manscaping, with Tom recounting a painful incident where he nicked his scrotum while trimming for a medical procedure, leading to confusion with his doctor. The hosts imagine hypothetical scenarios, such as Taylor Swift delaying trains or Tony Fred starting a podcast. Tom gets distracted by a chess.com game during recording, causing him to lose by default, which frustrates the other hosts. They discuss funeral plans, including dance references and Patreon tiers for attendance. The episode concludes with plugs for their Patreon, offering a seven-day free trial, and an announcement about their Flatshare Slamdown at the Latitude Festival in July, where Duran Duran will also be performing.

As heard by us

Tom, Ben, and Matthew start with a joke about a real-world interruption, then settle into Tom's story of spotting the back of his own head on a monitor and briefly mistaking himself for a balding stranger.
