Adam and Kyle are back at the bar for round two of the drunkard stories, and this week they go looking for the darkest holes. Kyle kicks things off with a teenage house party: ten lads, an empty house and a frankly worrying amount of vodka. They ask why teenage boys drink like that (bravado, competition, and no idea what they're doing) and whether booze gives you confidence or just an excuse to be a dick. Along the way they remember Hooch, WKD and South Africa's Red Square, the furry teeth the next morning, and the drunken backflip attempts that felt totally doable at the time.

Then the stories start. Adam recalls seven beers necked in a row in Australia, a taxi ride of "don't be sick, Adam", and a sobering trip into the waves the next day. Then comes a hostel room in Surfers Paradise, where four strangers woke up to a mystery traffic cone. Kyle tells the tale of streaking through the neighbourhood, hiding in a bush and being discovered by a dog walker. He also admits to an unfortunate call of nature against a car in South Africa, which brought a car guard over. He avoided a fight, but only because, in Kyle's words, the guard knew he'd win.

It's chaotic, cringey and full of stories neither of them would repeat at a wedding. Next time, the guys put their fists up: from drunkards to fighting.

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.
