Nice! PC and Spud join for an episode about the refuse and derelicts of society, the beatific and the beat-down. Stories include desert rats; literal rodents; a couple deciding on a change; a girl who has become the riff-raff; and a narcissist who leaves nothing behind.
From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
Riff-raff. Sweepings; refuse; the rabble. The Old French term was rif et raf, whence the phrase Il n’a laissé ni rif ni raf (‘He has left nothing behind him’). Rif is related to rifle, ‘to plunder’, and raf to rafle, ‘sweeping up’.
Stories begin around the 11:45 mark.
