My Presumably Scrotum

It's the final live record of RHLSTP in 2025 and Richard is worrying he might piss himself. His guest is the actor and writer Mathew Baynton. They chat about Mat's musical ambitions and the bands that his band supported, plus playing Bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream and having to cope with matinee performances full of children, the preponderance of Nepo-Second-Cousins, why eating a yoghurt with the least dignity led to one of the most memorable pieces of TV ever, why Rich has turned against the US version of Ghosts and whether the UK team might get back together soon and how they manage to stay friends through the sometimes volatile process of writing. Plus radioactive trains and potential Baynton food or fragrance possibilities and why do so many Taskmaster Champions of Champions have just one ball?
