Kyle and Adam keep digging through the history books for old-fashioned recipes, and they immediately fall out over corned beef hash. Kyle swears by it (Spam version included), while Adam is disgusted by anything that came out of a tin. From there they work through wartime cooking: the meatless Woolton pie, the eggless, butterless, milkless Warcake, and Victorian mock turtle soup, which leads to a lot of confusion about what a turtle tastes like, when the Victorian era actually was, and the Great Fire of London.

The tangents keep coming. Alice in Wonderland and the original Winnie the Pooh books turn out to be much weirder than expected, and sherry gets an unexpectedly thorough investigation (it's a Spanish white wine, and no, the port and starboard joke doesn't land). Adam remembers a wine tasting where his friend's very direct Russian wife shut down the sommelier's sales pitch, and the guys ask why the British can't be that blunt without a few drinks in them.

Which brings us to Adam's first properly drunk night: a staff party, a Guinness and Baileys, a lot of regret, and a kind chef called Jason. Next week, the drunkard stories continue.

Captain Adam and co-pilot Kyle take the mic for a full pre-flight briefing on how to behave at 30,000 feet. It starts with peanut allergies, and a questionable detour into whether Darwin got it wrong, before hitting the big one: reclining your seat. Adam still hasn't forgiven the woman on his Maldives honeymoon flight, and he has plenty to say about it.

From there it's dress codes (pyjamas on planes, pyjamas in Asda, pyjamas being tried on in the aisle), how much drinking is too much, and whether anyone has ever genuinely declared anything at customs. The duty-free myth gets dismantled too, complete with rigorous Toblerone price analysis and a theory about your boarding-pass scan tracking your alcohol intake.

It all ends where nobody expected: Komodo dragon eggs, a recipe for dragon's breath pickled eggs, and a genuine education on what a ramp is. Which sets up next week nicely — the guys are raiding the history books for old-fashioned recipes.

The guys pitch their tents this week and immediately go looking for a toilet. Adam's Glastonbury long-drop trauma sets the tone before they try to pin down what actually counts as a festival. Does a one-day food fair qualify, or does it need mud, camping and three days of questionable decisions?

From there it's Burning Man (cult or art project?), Woodstock's surprisingly infrequent schedule, and the genuinely staggering 660 million attendance of India's Maha Kumbh Mela. Then Oktoberfest takes over completely, spiralling into a maths-based investigation of how many tanker lorries it takes to move 6.7 million litres of beer, a Guinness comparison nobody asked for, and a newfound respect for the women hauling ten steins at a time.

It all wraps with a true story from a recent flight, where a maths disagreement between Adam and Kyle was settled by a stranger in headphones who'd clearly been listening the whole time. Which raises an uncomfortable question for next week: airplane etiquette, and just how much your neighbours can hear.
