Why do we go to a funeral and need to see the body? Edna and Reggie start with your 20s, when nature hasn&#39;t caught up with how long you now live, then rank the strangest jobs: urologists, the dentist sitting on the stairs, paparazzi, medical sex workers and morticians. From there: open caskets, families who search for decades for a body they know is dead, Neanderthal burials, why innocent people never say &#34;alibi&#34;, and the husband everyone wanted to be guilty, including his own mother. Content note: strong language, discussion of death, suicide and murder, and crude sexual jokes about disability, sex work and necrophilia. Letters for Gary is part of the Inbreds podcast.

A 43-year-old woman asks Reddit if she&#39;s the asshole for running to the bathroom after trying something new with her husband of 17 years. He looks disgusted, takes his pillow to the couch and stops answering her calls. Five days later come the tears, the flowers, the pancakes... and one word that gives everything away. Sugar and Edna pull the thread: why he really reacted like that, what it means to rope someone into a plan they know nothing about, and whether anybody who gets married is brave or just mad. Content note: strong language, explicit sexual and bathroom talk, infidelity, and dark jokes. The Cupboard is part of the Inbreds podcast.

The ass-pocalypse has been confirmed. Sugar brings bad news about AI pricing: self-checkouts that predict what you&#39;ll scan next, and plane tickets that cost more because your aunt just died. Then the conversation goes through retirement funds, exit liquidity and why Steam isn&#39;t EA, before landing on celebrities singing from their pools and Gal Gadot&#39;s new movie, which is, apparently, her running. This is our opinion and our understanding, not financial advice. If we got something wrong, tell us.

What do you see when you put your headphones on? Reggie confesses his daydream: a jewellery heist across Europe, a night ride through a city tunnel, champagne on a boat in Monaco. Edna would rather not say (she says anyway). From there: why men daydream about dying and women about surviving, adults who interrupt kids&#39; daydreams, parenting through fear, a grandmother who lost 14 of her 16 children and stayed completely serene, and why the trauma might hit hardest when you come home from the war.

She&#39;s been writing a dark trilogy since she was 16. Her boyfriend read the kidnapping chapter, said he was fine, stayed over all cuddly... and called the police on her. Sugar and Edna read the Reddit post and work out what really happened: why &#34;it was a mistake&#34; doesn&#39;t cover dialling the police, people who mistake fiction for a confession, what you&#39;d do if you recognised yourself in your partner&#39;s book, and the theory the comments landed on: jealousy.

Governments are telling people to stock up on food and water, and Reggie would like to report that he no longer wants the apocalypse. Sugar and Reggie plan where they would actually survive it: open land, a hidden ravine, and a hideout the bees will absolutely snitch on. Along the way: why being &#39;non-political&#39; on Tinder got one man eaten alive, the perfect Chinese Elon Musk, and what&#39;s wrong with Lord of the Rings reaction videos. In this episode:<ul><li>Why the apocalypse stops being fun once your knees creak</li><li>World leaders, impressions and the people with their finger on the button</li><li>&#39;Non-political&#39; on a dating profile, and why Reddit lost it</li><li>Your bees will give you away</li><li>Reggie and every puddle on earth</li><li>Lord of the Rings reactions and male friendship</li></ul> Content note: strong language, crude sexual humour, and jokes about race, gender, sexuality and politics.

Are comic books the Bible of the future? Edna and Reggie follow the theory wherever it goes: whether charity is ever selfless, how narratives get attached to real events, why science needed a story to sell the moon landing, whether rationality is making us worse off, and why having kids might be the most delusional act of hope there is.

Sugar and Edna read the Reddit post and the update where everyone sided with him, then work out what he should have said: the &#39;mutual&#39; crush that wasn&#39;t, the best friend test, thoughtfulness vs. grand gestures, and why he&#39;s still waiting for the best friend to change her mind.

Sugar gives Reggie a list of &#39;suspicious&#39; habits: he has to pick four and still pass as a heterosexual man. Pink cocktails, glossy lips, a four-step skincare routine and a very committed Love Island performance follow.
