Skin Ink On The Brothers Streep – This week’s theme is ‘Tattoos’, as suggested by a listener! The boys, despite not actually having any tattoos, do have many stories involving skin ink for us- including how one of them narrowly missed getting his short lived band’s name tattooed over his heart. They also interview Greer Bell- who’s name, they suggest, is actually her surname- who is  a Cape Townian songstress. She tells us of her experience in the music scene and is even lucky enough to get some proposals from the boys to join her band. Dylan and Simon flip-flopped their way through an exciting round of ‘Switch Fight’. Andrew finished things off in haste with a cars themed edition of ‘The Quiz’. We listen to Greer’s music as well as get the usual gags, silliness and nonsense from The Brother’s Streep Show. If you missed out, the podcast is only a click away! [podcast]
