First Look Gnomes

Two Dad's doing Silly Things.
Everyone wants to learn something new, but only some people want to sit down and read a bunch of nonsense - so why not listen to some instead? Chuck in some random facts and a couple of Dad jokes, and you'll be full of (potentially useless) knowledge in no time.
Whether all of it is true is part of the gnomery.
Join Cornishman "Walliams" in the shed at the bottom of his garden in Cornwall and Wulfrunian (a man from Wolverhampton apparently) "Mr Hodgkiss" from Belfast as they take a "first look" at the relatively unknown, learn some stuff and chat about life as Parents.
Dive into the First Look Gnome Universe every month and learn about random things you didn't even know you wanted to learn about! Fill some of your day with something interesting, engaging, and funny.
Welcome to the bottom of the garden.......'But what about the Gnomes?' I hear you cry!
Good things come to gnomes who wait. And ones that rate, review and subscribe :)

First Look Gnomes - Smart Gnome Marriage Advice and Gnome Improvements
play

12/12/24 • 34 min

Have you ever found yourself tangled in the chaos of homeownership, only to realise your biggest adversary is a mouse and not the mortgage? Join us as we share tales of our own home renovation mishaps, giving a cheeky nod to icons like Austin Powers while reminiscing about the unpredictability of old houses. From mysterious creaks to surprise critters, the journey of maintaining a home is anything but dull. We promise not just laughs but a reminder that these quirks are universally shared, from California to Iraq.
Imagine the shock of discovering that not all home improvements are budget-friendly, especially when a simple front door turns into a costly saga. Our episode takes a turn into the realm of DIY maintenance, where every homeowner becomes a jack-of-all-trades, trading landlord calls for toolboxes. Amidst these adventures, we sprinkle in exciting updates on a new Wallace and Gromit film and muse over how big studios might find the quirkiest inspirations in unexpected places. Listeners are invited to share their own tales and tips, as we celebrate our favourite cultural throwbacks together.
As we shift gears, our quirky guest, the Gno-It-All Gnome, graces us with marriage wisdom, humorously addressing a listener's romantic dilemma with his signature flair. The episode wouldn't be complete without some dad joke banter, featuring a fictional robot lawnmower incident that leaves us all in stitches. Wrap up with us on this fun-filled journey, and be sure to stick around for more laughter and the charming unpredictability of life in our next episode.

First Look Gnomes - Bananas, Beers, and Baby Jake Adventures
play

04/30/24 • 57 min

Ever wondered if an AI could outshine Shakespeare in the poetry department? Well, we put it to the test .....
This episode is a tapestry of laughter and nostalgia, from the art of crafting poems with a technological co-pilot, to the absurdity of British beer names – and yes, we've got a pint of 'Piddle' in hand to prove it. We're your friendly neighbourhood gnomes, conjuring up verbal spells and raising our glasses to the weekend vibes that make every recording session a treasure trove of giggles and jest.
Have you ever marked a personal milestone by peeling a banana? That's exactly what happened in one of our conversations.
Join us for a jaunt along the picturesque North Cornwall coast, complete with a furry companion and the infamous scone debate – because whether cream or jam comes first, it's a matter of delicious importance.
As we wrap up, we venture into the curious world of children's television, where the surreal escapades of Baby Jake become a springboard for our own zany show ideas. But it's not all fun and games; we also take a moment to respond to our listeners' heartfelt dilemmas, offering fatherly advice and sporting predictions with our signature blend of humour and sincerity. So settle in for an episode that's as comforting as a family gathering, as surprising as an unexpected fact, and as rich in character as the cosiest Cornish cream tea...

  • Copilot AI ,
  • Piddle - Dorset Amber Ale (Thirsty Thirst),
  • Peeling a Banana ,
  • Dad Injuries ,
