The book is 1000+ pages of tiny text. Paul has read it and it is now sitting on Stephen's desk (He's not going to read it - there's probably Cliffs Notes).

Yep, radio show first then re-recorded as an LP.

At time of typing Stephen has now seen Get Out and T2 : The Trainspotten-ing. So strap in for some thoughts on those.

Ad read Solve A Rubik's Cube By Mail

Rolling in with this week's theme, Clever. It's the new sexy. From hot tech titan Mark Zuckerburg to foxy physicist Neil DeGrass Tyson, if you prove that your clever then it is on, you'll be beating off suiters with your folded up copy of Will Shortz's "Crosswords for Smart-Dicks".

So how do you get there? You can't just get a degree from Arizona State University (Go Fighting Cactus Ants!) you don't have a free afternoon and sixty dollars. You need a shortcut to smart - and fast!

That's where Solve A Rubik's Cube by Mail comes in. I know you need to know the deal and here's the deal - you send them an unsolved Rubik's cube (available from most Goodwill stores and probably eBay) they solve it and send it back to you! Think of it, within weeks you could be surrounded by perfectly ordered cubes just like Einstein or Stephen Fry.

Prices start at just $40 and if you use code 5150 they'll throw in a free solution for a Rubik's Clock or a Rubik's Magic (that flat one with the rings? no, you don't remember that- it's cause you're dumb - get on this).

Solve A Rubik's Cube By Mail : We're hoping you haven't thought this through either.

Featured segment - Pretty people - Why you gotta play music?

Wes Anderson's diminishing returns:

Oh, piss off

So much build up! So much tension!

So pretty - what's his deal? What's he up to? Who wrote that on his guitar?

Andrew Ridgeley, basically a monster.

Pretty pop-punk, Blink-182 when they still had space to add more tattoos.

Iron Maiden and Daley Thompson team up to sell a glucose energy drink. This is the fun we got up to in the 1980s.

The internet will not give up the tab that Stephen remembers from the 90s which described the breakdown in Hangar 18 as "reggae metal".

Ad Read All Downtime dot com

Hey listeners, You've got a bad idea and you think you want to get it out onto the internet, but chances are it's a time-sucking quagmire that will cost you a ton of money, cause you to age like a motherfucker and get sued by the person that came up with it originally.

What if there was a way for you to launch your stupid, badly-planned business but in secret? To "get it all out there" without "getting it out there".

Problem established let's plow into the solution : All Downtime dot com is the never accessible webservice your terrible business plan should rely on.

Your dating service for anime fans : down
Your driving school for dogs : never discovered
Your store that sells home-made lamps in the shape of Lionel Richie's face : total secret.

Use the code "Some Kind Of Monster" and we'll delete your emails without even reading them - giving you complete confidentiality.

All Downtime dot com : There's no backlash if no one finds out.

Recomendations:
