My Mate Bought A Toaster

The Best of Season 8

Listen on

Episode notes

Oh hello Toasters!

Seeing as summer is upon us, we thought what better way to celebrate hot weather, expensive travel, annoying tourists, relentless children and lost sunglasses than by dropping a little cheeky Best of Series 8 on your podcast feed. It's to cheer you up and help you on your merry sunburnt way.

Here you'll find some of the highlights of what's been going on this series where once again we've ploughed through people's purchases in order to find their true life stories waiting in between the receipts. We've got big buys (why did Katherine Ryan get SO much vinegar?) and we've got tiny buys such as Stephen Merchant's charming gift of a little toy plane for his fully grown, adult, parents.

There's just something about looking across an entire span of someone's Amazon Purchase History that brings out their life's highest points - such as Marcus Brigstocke flying through the air on a tv show knowing he was about to catastrophically break his leg. But we often find life's most terrifying and lowest moments too - a simple weighing scales bought by Emmanuel Sonubi was, it turns out, the first thing he bought after he very nearly died of a massive heart attack.

It's a rollercoaster ride, this shopping snooping business.

And we're not slowing up any time soon. We've got a couple of live dates coming up in September, if you fancy? Have a click here look.

If you're a member of our Patreon those tickets will be free, by the way. So do feel free to hop on and subscribe for all sorts of added content.

Don't forget to check out our YouTube, too, our TikTok and our Insta.

And please rate and review! If you're on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or Amazon Podcasts, it makes such a huge huge difference to helping new audience members discover our stupid, ridiculous show.

Thanks again for listening and see you a bit later on in the year!

Toast xx
