Clicking for appreciation: In poetry circles - as well as other spoken-word contexts, including some academic presentations - it's convention to click or snap one's fingers rather than clapping hands. It's a quieter way to show appreciation, and it doesn't overwhelm the performer's delivery demanding a pause or other break in the flow.
"Why don't you share?" and "I'm sorry, Laura - I don't understand the question" - lines from TV series 'Humans': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4122068/
Rubber bushings - They're a component in cars, and Kate had been playing Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 pretty intensively for a few days. I'd link it but I (hi, Kate writing the notes today) can't see any usefully descriptive site that isn't just a straight-up purchase page, and we're not here to sell stuff to you.

"Whaaaaaa...?" - Shocko the Elf, from animated TV series Disenchantment: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5363918/
Arnold Rimmer learning Esperanto - from 'Red Dwarf':
"Open Charlie tunnel" - Eddie Izzard, a two-part bit on stand-up show 'Unrepeatable'; establishing that purring is actually the sound of cats drilling (https://youtu.be/lnBtd-dOnUQ ) and later calling back with a reference to finding their drilling equipment (https://youtu.be/2zqlykUPaNc ).
"Have a gorilla" / "Have one of my monkeys, they're milder" / "I only smoke baboons" / "Baboon Show!" - several of a vast number of running gags in 1950s BBC radio comedy 'The Goon Show' - many of which gags the good burghers of Wikipedia have assembled here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goon_Show_running_jokes
"I wrote it down on a piece of paper" - an epic Goon Show sketch featuring regular characters Eccles and Bluebottle discussing timekeeping: https://youtu.be/ctM_Rvgjfpo (remember it was a radio show - the visuals were added by the person uploading it to YouTube)

Also, if you’re wondering about the title, it’s another Goon Show reference, this time to a brief exchange whereby one character is offered a drink and asks for “a glass of fish and chips”. See? A glass? Haglaz? Ha-glaz? GEDDIT you geddit of course you do. Anyway thanks for reading the notes, you’ve been a fantastic readership and it’s been a pleasure throwing links at you. See you next time.

Well…
Here we are. Here we all are. The fifth random reel of Frithcast… five years, you lovely trash panda darlings, you. Some of you have been with us for five whole years of episodes, and a change of virtual home to boot, some of you have listened to us for a little less, and for some, this may be your first experience of a random reel. If so, you’re in for a bit of something different.
Kate and I wanted to say a big thank you and big loves to all you lovely listeners around the world, you’re the reason that we’ve kept making episodes all this time, and the reason that we now have a Discord channel home for Frithcast including the virtual campfire channel.
So, here’s your random reel for this year, from us to you. We hope to see you around the virtual campfire soon.
Suzanne and Kate
