"Do you think being circumcised will make you faster?" "Eh, I'm not circumcised". And so begins day three, as Roskilde Radio interviews the participants before the now-legendary Naked Race on the campsite.

House is now exploding in all [...]

Six years since their last release, they return with the absurdly entertaining I Have Hands ." [...]
