Summary
In this episode of Wonderfully Ill-Informed, we discuss more randomised and humorous topics. We catch up following a little break over New Years. We talk about vampire bats and the creepy way that they move when being tested by scientists, but refuse to delve into the experiment itself. Football returns to the roster, as we mention a very obscure rule and where it might have come from. There might have been a technical issue which creates a segment of it's very own before we move on and things get sporty once more as Ben, Mark and Tom talk about another obscure sport / game.
This episode got cut short, but Part 2 is on it's way next week!

Takeaways
