Lucy and Sam check their mail. Remember once you open an envelope it can never ever be closed. Pigeons used to deliver messages but now they don't seem to know what to do with themselves. Oh well.

A disgraced person gives Lucy and Sam a highly intriguing challenge. Anything can be intriguing if you are easily intrigued. This one is all about cemeteries and the sound Lucy made at her first gig. Vote for us to be the next Prime Ministers!!!

The Lucynado and Samcramp give their microphones a proper workout on this one. It's the long-desired showdown between two huge huge huge topics - zips and lids. We advise you not to have this kind of heated discussion in your own home or we (Plosive) will be forced to report you to the embassy. Don't worry, these guys are professionals. They know what they are doing. They know their stuff.

The past has a real knack for devouring the future doesn't it? Lucy and Sam swore under oath to never do another Year Delve after the events of 2011. They have broken the rules and risk certain banishment. Thank you to everyone who listens to this - you will be rewarded so handsomely in the next life.

Having both served lengthy sentences, Lucy and Sam close their eyes and describe the prison of their dreams. Their insights will hopefully *fingers crossed* change the way you think about incarceration. See you in the yard for some handball?

Lucy and Sam get on the blower to some of their most powerful allies. It's important to go scroll through all of your contacts and ask people for money every now and again. One day people will be horrified that we put our phones in pockets and bags when they're not being used. This will be considered barbaric. Everyone's phone will have its own little house.

Lucy and Sam blag on about God’s finest creations, the critters that he sent to this world to calm us down. No animals were harmed in this episode but they were discussed AT LENGTH.

Thank you so much. Please put headphones on your pet and make them listen to this episode and let us know how they react.

Lucy and Samuel have created different systems to record every year that they've been alive. In this sort-of-special episode they take turns blindly choosing different years and discussing them in almost frightening detail. It's called a year delve.
