There's even a machine that has learnt to mimic Niall's voice and we've got an e...

It's all about life-cycles this week. The cycle of a dog, the cycle of a Prime Minister and the cycle of a creature that lives in the ass of a wasp. There's lots of non-cycle stuff too. It's episode 8 of the goat. Get some!

How to lie. And get away with it. Also, Jonny Depp accuses Amber Heard of pooing on his bed  - she blames the dogs (that's an example of a bad lie).
