Step into the workshop of wonder with First Look Gnomes! In this episode, we explore the power of innovation — from the cutting-edge AI Sora to the roaring nostalgia of Cornish steam engines and 90s car rallies. Join our gnome hosts as we uncover how creativity connects generations — including fun, hands-on LEGO building tips for dads and families.

Discover how technology, engineering, and imagination come together in this feel-good mix of old-school mechanics and futuristic thinking. Perfect for makers, parents, and curious minds who love learning something new every week.

In this Gnome Vault mini episode, we revisit the viral sensation Bunnies in Cups—a heart-melting trend that’s taken the UK by storm. Expect laughs with gnome jokes and exclusive bonus content featuring the Top 8 real quotes overheard at Ryder Cup 2025. Whether you’re here for cute bunny content, quirky gnome humour, or golf’s most unexpected soundbites, this episode delivers a perfect mix of charm, comedy, and sport.

We admit a strange late-night scroll, weigh what makes something truly cute, and wander from teacups to Belfast pints before finishing with gnome jokes and a sharp look at Ryder Cup crowd behaviour. It’s humour with a point: context matters, in photos, pubs, and fairways.

• safe space to confess odd internet habits
• why bunnies in cups feel right and other pairings feel wrong
• baby honesty, pet safety, and where humour stops
• Belfast pub recommendation and Christmas market impressions
• price shock versus ambience in seasonal spaces
• Europe’s away win, crowd abuse, and standards in golf

🎧 In this episode of First Look Gnomes, we take a first look at two worlds that couldn’t be more different — but are both hilariously unforgettable.

👉 First up, it’s the 90’s! From Tamagotchis and dial-up internet to baggy jeans and Britpop, we dive into the nostalgia that defined a generation. If you grew up in the 90’s, you’ll be nodding (and laughing) along.

👉 Then we switch gears to the chaos of potty training — the parenting milestone that’s messy, unpredictable, and full of funny stories. Whether you’re in the trenches right now or remembering the struggle, you’ll relate to the wins, fails, and everything in between.

It’s a mix of retro nostalgia and real-life parenting mayhem, served with the usual Gnome humour.

Two dads share their latest "first looks" while navigating parenthood, 90s nostalgia in 2025, and a special celebrity appearance from a children's TV legend.

• Mr Hodgkiss experiences a strange time warp as 2025 brings back Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, King of the Hill, and Oasis
• The podcast celebrates reaching 250 unique listeners in July, its best month ever
• Dave Benson Phillips (of "Get Your Own Back" fame) makes a special guest appearance with a promotional voice note
• Walliams shares his first look at potty training with his two-and-a-half-year-old son, including the celebrated milestone of the first "poo in the potty"
• The hosts reflect on how we celebrate bodily functions in childhood but stigmatise them as adults
• Updates from the fictional "Gno-It-All Gnome" who's currently seeking love in Australia
• Discussion of Premier League football returning and the end of summer holidays
