#534 - Berating The Hips, #TeamCharles and National Growers of the Year Awards 2011

Attention, Ellison John apologists, Vibe Tasters, Hammer Legends, and all PCDs. This is a content alert. Here at Ellison John HQ, we are constantly evolving. Like Beatomax or MiniDisc, content that stays still is dead. So after seven years of terrestrial podcast first BBC broadcasting, Ellison John is entering the future sphere. Why did I like John Rayless? We're forging a path into a new digital millennium. The millennium was 26 years ago. From this day thence, Ellison John will still be available on BBC Sounds, but the Ellison John world is expanding. And as a part of that globe-o-splosion. Dave, can you say this? As a part of that globe-o-splosion, if you're not listening on BBC Sounds, you will start to hear adverts. Some generic, some rift by Ellison I, as we dip our toes into the world of independent content creation. (Music) Hello everyone and welcome to the Ellis James and John Robbins podcast. And what a day it's already been. We're pre-recording this because Ellis is going to Wales. And Dave and I have had a big day. Have we Dave? We have as it goes. We went out on the town. We did. We painted the town red. We did. We went to the marathon running. What is it called? It's called the Expo. London marathon, Expo. TCS London marathon, Expo. Checking out all the stalls, getting our bibs. I was 45 minutes early. Okay. Dave was 20 minutes late. You know, you can do maths. I was sat down in a, you know, calm zone for an hour and five minutes. What a calm zone. A calm zone is just a sort of vibe space for young influencers. Yeah, it sounds like what you're trying to achieve with your house. Yes, well, I have successfully achieved that. Yeah. And, you know, others have helped me achieve that. So, the Expo is in the Excel centre. Oh yeah. Which is a world I'm not really part of. It's very like, here's the conference for. Is it the kind of place where there'll be a sort of. It'll be turned into a car showroom tomorrow and then there'll be an. I'm like a. There'll be an arms conference there next week. Yeah. But there's like ten of those at once. That's what's mad. So, are you here for the pharmaceutical conference? So, it's huge, then. Are you here for the communications seminar? Are you here for Zingtech, Con? It is Lanyard Central. Okay. Really is Lanyard Central. So, you would think, because it's the London marathon, it just take over the whole thing. Yeah. But I walked into a conference that literally had nothing to do with the London marathon. Well, conference was that. Was it a good. Zingtech, Con. Toccoodles, Zingtech. Did you get by an e-zing? No, I didn't. Did you see it? It's a. It's a whip. It's an old plate. It's almost like a big shopping. It's about at the Trafford Centre, if it was just for conferences. Where is it? Down. Custom House. All right. Okay. I've never been to the Excellicenter. It's like the Birmingham NEC, I suppose. Okay. Yeah. But there are gigs there, so. No. No. And Gladiators does not happen there. I can think it could be. But we got our bibs and. Oh, who's that over there? Gabby Logan. Hi, Gabby. Nice. Hi, John. Paula Rudklich. Hi, Paula. I know we're in love with each other, but I think it's important we're just friends. John, that's fine. Nice to meet you, properly. Is it me? If there were. If it said Paula, that's fine. If there was. If there was a picture underneath the definition "B line", that's what happened today. Oh, great. The B line that John made for Paula and Gabby would. Right. I've never seen you so keen to say hello to anyone. Well, in general, I'm just. Inglig and Runscliff. Glig and Runscliff. Glig and Runscliff. Exude class. Oh, my God. Oh, it's. I'll just put my aunt in a class of water. And if I'm just half-ditt to a thing as in water, because you're so overcome by the class of Brad Clifford Logan. Exude class. They really do. Calmness as well. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's a very gentle. Come some running mountains and presenting like Champions League coverage. Yeah. You can't be scatty or stressed if you're presenting. Have you seen that? By the Moon, if this is Real Madrid. Have you seen that? Oh, my God, it's a big game. I haven't done any prep. Have you seen the clip of what's happening in Gabi Logan's earpiece? I see. Well, she's presenting from the side of the pitch. It is in the scene. I would last half a second. Yeah, I would see. Or I'd say, "Can everyone just stop? Can everyone can everyone one at a time?" Give me a minute. The somebody tell Paul Skulls that he only need a minute now. So that was nice. And we filmed some content for the Ellis and John Cinematic Universe. Nice. Yes, we did. So that'll be. When will that be up in the Ellis and John Cinematic Universe, Dave? Oh, at some point. Just before the marathon, I imagine. There's a bit of a teaser in the old world of cinema. And you can access that. Yeah, that's probably it. But we're going to use that. That's probably it. Work it out yourself, exactly. But Ellis, here's my bit. There. Oh, my God. 52597, that's a lucky number. I tell you what's the lucky colour, Ellis, is blue for media, relaxed? Why does that say relaxed? I think I've got the wrong person. Oh, my God, you've got Gabby's bib. Am I in the relaxed zone? For the marathon? Gabby's bib said stressed on it. Stressed and hates yourself. Do I run in a little group of very chilled out people playing like whale songs? Smoking do you think? That will be nice. It's actually been the talk of my gym, your marathon. That's it. Went to the gym twice a week and each time people coming up to me saying how a John and Dave feeling. I was like, oh, negative, I think. But the crucial question is Ellis. Where's he gone? I've gone to my bag. Okay. Would you like some complimentary ass magic? Okay, can I use that on my face? You could use it on your face. You wanted your face to slide through some railings. If you got your head trapped in some railings, looking at Buckingham Palace. I will have some. I did do that when I was younger. Do you know what? You got your head caught in railings looking at Buckingham Palace. I literally did that when I was four years old. I couldn't get my head out of the railings. Ask Val on Sunday. She'll tell you all about it. The three of us. None of us are Londoners. No. And my mum and dad, we came on holiday in about 1985 to London. To visit friends of my parents. We went to Gourmer, because I didn't like the noise. I remember you saying. I lived in a small town. I'm Sean. Regent Street too much. Do you have any negative experiences of London in the mid-80s? No, the first time I went to London was, oh, I went to the motor show with my uncle. Oh, yeah. In 1992. So did it cast. Uncle Stan. The satinity of your Griffith. That did you. Yeah, best in my life. That is so classic and gulst of. And then I think the next time was on a school trip as a sort of celebration for doing the school play. It would have been 514 and we all went to a Italian restaurant and drank loads of bread wine. Yes. And if there's one thing 14-year-olds can handle, it's red wine for the first time. Yeah, that's heavy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've been on a politics trip. With the teacher. I know. Do we went back on the coach? But there you go. There's a complimentary. I think you. It smells delicious. Do you know what? It does smell. The Asmagic smells incredible. So am I going to put this where I think I am? Yes. I'm a guest. And I'm going to use this. I'm going to do an occuper event tomorrow. I might use it for that. Just to relax me. Great. Auntie Chaeffbaum for my job. Do you know what would be a great brand strategy for them? Alison John brought to you by Asmagic. I don't mind it. But, Djemmer. But, Djemmer. Djemmer's a famous phrase that Alex Ferguson came up with at the end of a season. Squeaky-bummed time. So you could give Asmagic to the Arsenal squad at the moment, for instance, because that's good stuff. Ah, because it's squeaky-bummed time. Well, football club's sponsored by Asmagic. It smells of tea troyle. It does, it's lovely. Oh, that's good. Well, not done does anyway. This is good. I can't wait to sort of spit it up and like a sort of no idea. Like a sachet of honey and a pret. That will your ass. Yeah, you split it open like a sachet of honey and pret. And then you open the bar and apply that. It's Chaeff. It's Chaeff. It's for Chaeff. Sorry, sorry. It's for Chaeff. Will it feel weird? No, it'll feel amazing. Okay. And you will. Your armpits? My armpits are fine. It may begin to feel erotic and that's totally natural. Yeah, okay. You know, it's a lot of conform to that. Thanks, man. You're welcome. Yeah. Other brands were harder to crack. Oh, right, yes. Yeah. That's to say that. That's a good little. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But that wasn't. I didn't intend to part. I was. No, you're better than that. I was hanging around certain things. stalls waiting to get some kind of recognition. And so I'm like, oh, John Robbins, you're an important influencer. Yes. You have the market at your fingertips. Yeah. Would you like a pair of something or a complimentary pair of something? Yeah. But that didn't happen. So is this the only thing you left with? Yeah, just show a mass magic in the biggest freebie handout in London. I got two sachets of ass magic. And one free. Freech us. And some Vaseline. So it's our percentage. Free, free Vaseline. With the smoothest podcasting. Yeah. Broadcasting. What did you say is we went into that shoe into the trainer area. I'm going to get some ass magic. It's all helped me. God. I went to one of the security guys and was like, excuse me, is there a media? Where's a media zone in this area? Hopefully it's to try and make it glittery. It was important. Dave, I am an influencer. And that's what he kept saying to him. Hi, influencer here. Just wonder if there's anyone from the media team we share a few ideas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm actually going to be on B real in a second. What's that? Should be B real? No. I do. I'm looking at you. What is that one? What was called? Yeah. The one where you were just broadcast yourself being real for eight seconds. Oh, yeah. And it took two photos. I can't remember. But I was once DJing in the doldstone. And I'd never heard of it. And two young women come in to be said, we'd like to be real with us for a second. That I was like, is it still a thing's off? I'm real. Not really. Only for like millennials now. - Oh, I feel the millennial race. - Oh, yeah. - [sing] - We're a couple. - Oh, yeah. - Hi. - Hi. - I'm GeneXan, I knew it 'cause we were in the Bumble 1908, so I'm fine with that. Good best generation if you, if you like, these view-bodied by generations. - Yeah. - So, yeah, big time that's the vibe. - Well, I'm quite star-struck, if I'm honest, because I would listen to Jonon Emily Dean's walk in the dog this week, who've, - Oh yes. - Sonilutely loved it. - Oh, thank you. - The fact that Jon went on a podcast called Walking the Dog and were yet to walk a dog, and did not modify his dog attitude at all, I thought, was fantastic. - Well, when you cut the, her beloved dog ray looked like a split open bag of sand. - Oh my lord. - And a mop that lost its stick. - Have you, when she picked up his pool, you were to turn around. - I just walked off. - It was so funny. - Yeah, you can't, you can't. - I'm lost only then. - It was so funny. But, you know, Ray is cute. Also, not, doesn't look like any dog I've ever seen before in my life. He sits down and it's like he spills. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Just like he spills himself into a puddle of hair. - Yeah. - Okay. - But, you know, so cute. But also, I was, like, unlike a dog, like an exotic pet. - Yes. - Like some sort of, you know, African-traim animal. - He's not a big sick burn, does he? - Oh goodness me, no. - I think his job has been so vocal about his anti-dog agenda that he couldn't then suddenly go on Emily's podcast and be like, "Oh, I love you, too." - I love dogs. - I didn't think that, so I was just, - He can't. - Before I press play, I wonder how he'll play this. It was, I find it very entertaining. - We talked. - And wise. - We talked about the anti-dog agenda. We talked about. - Yeah, you explained your anti-dog agenda in a way that I hadn't fully appreciated, actually. I, um, it was, I found it very illuminating. I talked about dog owners both those who contribute and those who, you know, do you distribute? (laughing) - How does the opposite, what's the opposite of contributes? - Remove. - Take. - Take. - Continue, guys, keep. - Well, yeah, those who contribute by putting their dog mess in an appropriate bin, those who distribute their dog mess by throwing it into a hedge in a plastic bag or a stays for probably 10 years. - Love to meet those people. - Not shick them by the hand. - Well, hard man, L.S. is out. These guys are just not. - Hard man, L.S. - Yeah, I've just been walking, 'cause obviously if you listen to last week's episode, you'll know that I'm now a vigilante. (laughing) - It was specifically regards to speeding. - I am a half a goal hero. I thought about that. - I thought about that. - I will knock on the windows of cars who are speeding and say, what do you think you're playing at, mate? - 60 miles an hour is so fast. - It was mad, yeah. - How fast he was driving a plow. - I've been on quite a few podcasts promoting my book, which is out on the 7th of May day, thanks for asking. - Yeah. - I can't wait, say my diary. - It's in Eris's diary. - Either I've got a copy. - But I'm just by one. - I am pretty sure that I'd buy a million. (laughing) - That would really help me out. - Yeah. - All the podcasts I'm on are like gonna come out on the same day. - Yeah. - It's not just gonna be quite mad. If you happen to subscribe to these podcasts, you're gonna, you're gonna. - Carpet bombing. - Wow, yeah. - You're gonna have every single artwork that you think come on every podcast. So I'm on rest his politics leading. - Yeah. - Of course you are. - Yeah, they're talking to me about my attitude to global politics. - Yeah. - You're on Joe Rogan, aren't you? - I am on Rogan, four hours. - Yeah. - So many belly-buffs. We make so many belly-buffs. Drink so much athletic greens that we S-I-C. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But we don't go to a toilet because that with men and man wouldn't go to the toilet. - Yeah, you're on the overlap and you drank so much fuel that you were sick. - I had fuel this morning. - Did you? What is it? (laughing) - So I tell you this, it ain't a drink in the meal deal. - Understood. - And it's with the drinks in the meal deals. - Is it? - But it ain't a drink in the meal deal. - Yeah. - It counts as a main. - Yeah, it's a meal. - By that logic, for lunch, you could have packet of crisps, a bottle of fuel, a bottle of water. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Which, no, yeah, you could, yeah, that would work. - It was supposed to be like back in the day. - Well, not back in the day, they still exist. Like a slim fast milkshake. - Yeah. - Was a meal, wasn't it? - Yeah, but you wouldn't have a meal as part of the meal deal. - Has that been discredited a bit slim fast? - No. - You don't hear about it. - Are they still about? - 'Cause it must be, yeah. - He was mad slim fast. Just like three milkshakes a day, the weight will fall off. - They look quite nice though. - I bet they were full of sugar in a way that wouldn't be acceptable now. 'Cause the thing with fuel, Dave, we're never gonna be sponsored by fuel, are we? - Oh, that's, that's insane. - We're not those guys. - We, it would be hilarious if we were. So it's like a sort of in theory, a complete nutrition shake. I was just thinking I was drinking it like, I could do with less sweeteners and more actual sugar 'cause you get that weird sweetener taste afterwards. But I was staying in a hotel last night, so I needed, you know, an exact breakfast on the go for influences. I had a, he was in the shower. - I had a, and then on a toilet. - Well, I had a real, I love the rest of it. He was on the toilet. - You can. - Like all exact. - Protein yogurt and then a fuel and then I realised this is actually two breakfasts. 'Cause a fuel is meant to be one breakfast, so you actually really shot yourself in the foot here. You should just be having the fuel. - It doesn't feel like calories, 'cause you're drinking them. - No, yeah. Why were we talking about fuel? - Because I, oh, I don't know. - Oh, the podcast, that's. - Podcast. - Oh, Rogan podcast. - Rogan. - Yes, big boy Alice. - That's me. - So yeah, so I went on and Emma Barnett's podcast. - Did you? - Lovely Emma Barnett, who we had on How Do You Co. Back in Dade. Matt Willis' podcast. - Yes. - Promusted. - Yeah, on the mend. - Lovely. - And comedians comedian podcast. - Really? - The big return. - You've done that before, are you? - In 2015, I do it. - It's so much fun. - So much fun. - First change since then, you're good now? - I'm good now. You know, things went wrong and then got better in the middle. - You bounced. - I bounced, literally, bounced back since I was, well, no, since I was last on, I bounced down. - Yeah. - And then bounced back. - And you rolled away a bit. - Yeah. - And then I kicked you against the wall and he bounced back. - And I got lost under a sofa. - That's great. - Now you covered in hair. - No, I'm covered in hair. - That's great. I'm looking forward to listening to you on comedians comedian. - I'm stuck to an old quid. (laughing) - Oh, are you talking about your process? - Yeah, a little bit. Talk about the process of writing the book and how it relates to stand up and just chewing the cut with stew goldsmiths. - Look at what it is, 'cause I think I'm your biggest fan. - Yeah, and you're gonna have a bumper day on the set of the day. - If you're on a, yeah, I'm, do you know what? I'm gonna take a few. - Couple of howardy coat mentions, I'm gonna take a few. - I'm gonna take a few. - So Ellis is going to a corporate event. He's Mr. Wales now. If you want, and this is serious, if you want to captivate a corporate audience in Wales, one Mr. Ellis James fits the bill. - Now then. - What word do I hate, John? Let me get this. FAF. That's a good one. That's a good one. They're all good ones actually. Oh, no, no, no, no. Surprise. Oh, no, I said good one. Fancy dress. No, these are Halloween. Halloween. One of the words I hate. It's all stuck. Cardiff City for all of them. The man Dave, on the man, is hubris. Okay. And we have, I haven't, a time of recording. I haven't done this cup, hosted this corporate event yet. So I'm very nervous. It might be an absolute torts disazzle. No, you're going to fly to the sky. The last time I did a corporate event was in 2011. It was the National Growers of the Year award. I made a joke about turnips that made our house. My confidence went. Okay. I was saying. I was saying. I was saying it's quite seriously. Yeah. Do that. If you've grown the best turnips in Britain, that's not a laughing matter. It's not a laughing matter. I died on my A in front of the head of JLA, a big corporate booker. I haven't been booked by them since. And I'm glad. And then he's glad. And then he's glad. And my burnt man is just, 'cause I'm fine with it. But, so I'm wanting him a company. I'm doing it to my first time since 2011. I'm extraordinarily nervous. So the fine. Because if hubris, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, make jokes about it in case you could worry about me. But if it goes very badly, it'll be good content next week. It won't go badly. You've got your safety nets. I sort of do. Just connect. But I'm thinking about this. This show is the most important thing. So if it goes. Why is it. Are you re-recording this in order for you to do the corporate event? No, no, we're pre-erb because I'm doing a distant pod gig in Carmarthen. Oh, well. This show is more important than corporate event, but less important than distant pod. So we're third. Second. Because bobbins could have us. Absolutely. If I'd seen up with him, you're in big trouble because we're both hard men. Says here "Through to marathon clip". We haven't run it yet. Let's choose day. You got there. John, that's the wrong running order. Gosh, damn it. Spoiler for Tuesday. We need to talk about that. But whilst you're finding your little piece of paper. Oh, crisps in a bin. Yeah. We do. Oh, he's had phones off now. I can't do the surprise that we had because he's taken his little headphones off. What are you looking for now, John? I'm back over his back again. We've had such a big day up with him. I'm excited. I'm going to get an ice cream and cry. I had an ice cream last night. Did you? Did you cry? No. I just got a flake from a news agent. It was 399 and I thought, is it heck? 399? Well, not a flake bar. No, one of those like "Multi-Bark" flake, yeah. Cornetos, but there's no way that was 399. What have you got your lots of power for? Because I've just seen what's next on the show. Well, get. I'll tell you what. You prepped for that beforehand. Here's a million pounds. Here's a million pounds worth of. Is it house in the middle of nowhere with Woodland? No, it's just. No, it's not as good as those things, actually. Here's a pair of new balance fresh foam X more V6s. No, you can just talk to the media department about that. It is the marathon on Sunday and we thought we're very proud of John. And the work that he's done. I mean, people have done it before. They have. They have. But it's been a lovely journey for yourself. So we thought we'd get a few well-wishing messages from friends and running adjacent colleagues. Oh, wow. First one's from Donald Tusk. He seems really Tusky. Tusk-o. Tusk-o. Tusk-o. Tusk-o. He's pulled down his trousers in maths. So a few well-wishes, here we are. Run-robin's run-robin's run-robin. Oh, what a lovely thing to do for a lovely cause. What a lovely lad. I hope your little pegies take you right the way around. But no shame if you stop halfway through. Okay, lots of love. It's loony. John, I hear that you're running a marathon. You've kept that one really quiet. Anyway, hi, it's Priny Gordon here. I also run Marathons and I'm so excited to see you on the start line on Sunday. Just have the best time. You're raising money for the most amazing cause. And it's been wonderful to watch your stories. And I'm looking forward to giving you a big hug on Sunday. I will only be in my underwear. So if you fancy joining me and only running in your underwear too, you're very welcome. Best of luck! Hi, it's John. It's George Lewis here. Hopefully I'll see you on Sunday. But if not, I want to wish you the best of luck, send you strength. And then last time we spoke, I think you were quite down about injuries that you'd got throughout your training. And that is obviously so frustrating. But it's no reflection on anything you've done. It's no reflection on you as an athlete, as a person. It's just a body. But what is a reflection on you as a person? Is the determination to keep going in a way that gets you to the start line. To keep on raising money. I checked earlier. You are one of the top fundraisers in the entire marathon. That's amazing, mate. It's just. Now is the time to just forget about everything that's led up to this point and focus on the feeling of love and togetherness as we all collectively achieve. This is George on X. Dave, step up and have a few. It's every man for himself. I will do anything to win. I appreciate it. And don't have a massive Chinese five-month-old star time. I did that on the acne half. And, um. Well, I'm not going to say what happened. Hi, John. I'm so proud and excited for you for Sunday and already sick at the thought of our incredibly bloody wise you're going to be about to start. I'm sure you've got quite enough marathon advice already. So instead, here's a song I've written called "John Runs Miles". 26 miles, pounding the pee, cheered by every PCD. Talks about runs, to Welles and Dave. Two Epsil week more if they pay. Jake and pay. Used to get lashed. Now he's got ripped. Go to the pub, but he's not there. No one have shame. No bag of death. John runs miles. We all cheer. Good luck, John. In light of Dave's injury news, I want to retract my trash talk. I am feeling for you so much right now, mate. I love you, I support you. Is it what you've come to do, no? I'm just praying that you are better by Sunday. And then on Sunday, if you are better, I will then retract this retraction and say, Dave, I'm going to destroy you again. Wow, that's nice. And as Brian E Gordon, George Lewis, Ivo Greio. I found that quite moving actually. I just went on the BBC News website because it was all being nice. Yeah, it's too much. I don't know if you know. Dave Lofthansa of Cut 20,000 Summer Flights as fuel prices surge. Oh. And the organizers of the 2027 Ryder Cup have defended the ticket price. How much are ticket prices at the 20's? Yes. $3,000 each. Oh, you're back in the Gashan game. No, God knows. I hate Gashan, it's like, I've got brain damage. 434 quid for a day. Oh, I can't do it. I cannot do it. I cannot. But then if they would, you know, the tickets change hands for loads on Saturday. That's what you meant. You've got the secondary ticket. I'm not a star pub again, but I have the right to cut. This day, next time I get, I want you to punch me in the stomach so that I don't, so I don't, I never forget. I can never forget. You can never forget. Can we, no, just play never forget by take that. Very kind of people to make reference to the fundraising, which I've just checked. It's 58,275 quid. Wow. Let's get that up to 60 Gs, shall we? Yeah, that'll be nice. You can text 70255 to donate £10. You can text John. Criking Moses. You can text Robbins 10. Oh, mate. Is that definitely legit? You've not been saying the wrong name for the past six months, have you? I hope not. You can text Robbins 10 to 70255. Yeah. Actually, all these people have been trying to donate to John's charity. I've actually been donating to Lockheed Martin by mistake. Or you can backstay me and I'll pass it on. I'll have you won't. You'll pass a percentage of it. No, I would pass it all on. Let me actually do just need to make sure that's right. It's what I've just said, where's my running folder? Here it is. Oh, hell's bells. It's Robbins 10 to 70255 to give £10. I must lock you to Lockheed Martin one. That's a lot of cash. A lot of cash. Actually, £100. You must be 16 or over and have the bill pay his permission. Each text to this number costs £10. Plus your standard network message charge based on your service provider rates for more information. Visit justgiving.com/JohnRobbins. And that's an RSS exclusive. Yeah, that's not going to be your BBC sounds because the BBC don't let you plug charities. Or anything. Really, if you're a presenter. We can plug the British. plug. We didn't episode we noticed it. Yeah. So there you go. Yes, very nice. And if you find the marathon content boring, jargon, well, no, the marathon can be your day of celebration. Yeah. That it won't we won't talk about it anymore. Yeah. But the limit, but the problem is when you're when you're like talking about what you're doing every week, when that's what you're doing every week. Exactly. It's hard to tell. And this one has always been about what we do in the week. It has. And well, what have I been doing in the week? It's time for John Wins again. Wins again. Wins again. People who don't like this feature tough. I ate three bake potatoes than the next day ate another three bake potatoes. What normal size? Not like mega ones that you might get at a fair king Edwards. Yeah, like a classic potato you would get three. What topping? One was tuna mayo and jalapenos. The other one was beans and jalapenos. jalapenos before a marathon. What a cool, what a cool choice. How many is that? Six bake potatoes. I went to a cafe the other day and I jacked potato cheese and beans. Yeah. And at the end of it, I remember thinking I couldn't eat another one of those. I couldn't do the triple. No, I couldn't do the double. I could probably do the double at a charity event. Yeah. I'll ask at this stage. Yeah. Is that a winner or a loss for you? I'm saying that's a loss. I think that's a win in a weird way. Six potatoes and 24 hours. But it was your choice and you did it. Yeah, well, at least. Yeah, no food went to waste. That's true. I licked the plate clean. So she was covered in jalapeno, Brian. God. There's no escaping the connection of that to the next win. You're on the toilet for two days. You've been constipated for nine hours. Tesco are playing a very interesting game. So many works at Tesco. Come at me at Robyn's wedding and said, would you like me to come on and defend our position of flax seed? Because I will do that. I know a flax seed company that would love to hear their side of the story. Okay. Their sales are down. Well, we can organize that. But he was like, I can defend our positioning on flax. You could host a panorama on this. The flax report. Yeah. Hard flax. Hard flax. Yeah. Down to brass flax. Yeah. Flax or fiction. Well, we, you know, once you've run the marathon, we're going to have to replace all the running chat with something. I've got it. I've got it. I've got his details. Tesco are playing an interesting game. Okay. Obviously, we know there's a new competitor in town. I walk into Tesco. What do I see? A bag, a bag of potatoes for 15 P. This is day after year six potatoes. No. No. This is why we're eating six potatoes for 24 hours. So it's not to do with the marathon. It's to do with values and fun. Yeah. Is they're trying to compete with Aldi? Fair enough. Were they on the turn? No. Good spuds for 15 pens. Yeah, 15 pens. I'd say 10 in a bag. Yeah. That's an amazing. It's a loss leader. Yeah. As to do it as well. Yeah. Yeah. They're all so disayne-sprey day. They're all unsafe. And so do booths in the peak districts. Morissants. Morissants. And if you're in the 90s, safe way. Yeah. If you're in the 90s, quick save. They also had 15 P bag of onions. So I got them as well. I love cheap onions. Yeah. Because an onion can't go wrong. No. No. No. Absolutely. I totally agree with you. So yeah, that's why I ate six baked potatoes in 24 hours. So you lost the car-blawed in marathon things. No. Just found you. That's a pure value. So why did you eat three? Because they certainly weren't big enough that you could have one. Spelt baked wrong. They weren't quite big enough that you could have two. They were too big to have three. But no food went to waste? I should have just had two or one and a half. Yeah. And they're not at all a fix, or something. Okay. Um. Spelt. Ah, not okay. I can't go. I've had to screw up without sorry if this ends up on the car. Because it's not 15 P baked potatoes. Is it? You bake it when you get home. Well, they're baking potatoes. It's too late, I've ran baked. Okay. What a mess. So this is quite embarrassing. After the show last week, I went to the train station to get my train home. And there's a guy on the platform dressed all in purple. He's obviously like into purple. He's got a purple hat, purple scarf, purple waistcoat, purple trousers, like a purple beret, purple trousers, purple boots on. Okay. And a purple bag. Right. And I thought I'd need to take a photo of him for my friend Lily, because she's really into purple. All right. Okay. And then I realised the Lily I was thinking of was Lily the character from Jua Lingo. What does that mean? There's a character from Jua Lingo. He likes purple. So I'm like, this is Lily and Owl. No, Lily is not. And Owl Lily is a French woman with an attitude. He doesn't like care about anything. He goes, who above, secude cum bian, two-m liposal du va de yore, a vick false stuff. But she's not real. She's not real at all, but she does love purple. I'm attracted to if she was a real French woman. And I felt quite sad that I played Jua Lingo so much that I actually think I have some kind of real world relationship with Jua Lingo. Yeah. And then later on I had a conversation with Lily on Jua Lingo, because it's like, you said you'll never guess what I saw at the station today. No. You'd have loved him, Lily. She said we can put this on the car if you want, Dave. It's time. Two rest have economy, Alapos. Do you spend time with your friend during your break? My reply was no, je reste sol, j'habite sol, je voy à j'ai sol, which means no. I spent time alone, I live alone, I travel alone. She said, d'accord, tu es su vent sol. Okay, you're off on alone. Abianto. So that's quite bleak. So that's another loss. Lily won, Alot. I was going to go with you. AI Lily is having a go with you for traveling alone. Well, you know, we're all trying to get through with a couple of texts to an invisible person. You get she through. Oh God. Okay. So that wasn't great. That didn't feel great. Oh, it's not in the wind column. No, no, it feels like a bad week. It does. Then I found Freddie. You found Freddie. Who's that? My name is Tor Toys. What? Did you? You got missing. Oh, and she sent me a message saying, can you keep an eye out for Freddie? Because he's escaped his enclosure. And I went to check to see if I'd had any parcels delivered because sometimes they put them. So you didn't go and look for the tortoise. I can't be bothered with that, but maybe I've had to be for a man, but. And shock of my life. There's a bloody tortoise next to my food waste bin. That's scary. In your kitchen? Actually, scary. What in your kitchen? No, no, no outside. All right. Okay. I'm not good. I'm not good with animals if they're not a caradog. No one's expecting to see a tortoise. I find tortoises absolutely fascinating. They're like dinosaur. They are. They're in like, yeah, they've been around the block, haven't they? They've been around the block and they all lived to a hundred. So they all remember Prince Albert being alive. So I picked him up and I've never picked a tortoise before. It's quite an odd experience. Yeah, is it? Was his head in a row? He was walking along. But then he moved his arms backwards and they're quite strong. And I couldn't drop him, obviously. So it's just had a tortoise arm against my finger for a bit. Are they heavy? They're exactly the way to you would expect them to be, I would say. Probably a couple of kilos. That old is Freddie. Maybe five? No, maybe. Or maybe I don't know, 120. Maybe he wants met Matys. Yeah, and he was there during the treaty of Versailles. Yeah. I had the best yoghurt I've ever tasted. Oh, I'm a yoggeys. Talk to me about your good yoghurt. Well, thank god we can. mentioned brands now because it was in a cafe in a row and it's called Tim's Yogurt. - Fine. - And I was just eating this yogurt to before I was doing something. I was chatting to Adrian on Saturday Live, of course. - Yeah, be mouthful. - And I just thought, I need to eat something because it's early in the morning. I'll have a bloody yogurt. - Yeah. - And my God, it was creamy, it was sweet. I immediately googled the brand and just not available at my local supermarket. So will forever remain a stall in yogurt even though I did pay for it. - Oh, what a shame. - I mean, emotionally stall them. - Yeah. - Can you get them delivered online? - How would you have to keep it cold, wouldn't you? - Well, they'd probably, they'd pack it in those ice packs, probably. - So yeah, that was just really nice. - Good. - And I'll always remember it. - Yeah. - Do you know what, I'm going to the BBC next week. I'm gonna-- - Get one of the yoghurt. - Are they available in all noodles? - I can't speak to that, but I'm definitely the one by the BBC. - Are you going back to the BBC next week to talk to Nick Grimshaw? So you can get another yoghurt? - Yes. - What are you doing at Grimshaw? - Chatting about new music. - No, he's not. - What? - For God's sake, man. - If I listen to that and you've not plugged Coke once, I'll be living it. - Do you wind your neck in like a turtle? Well, I've been doing a plug out here. - What are you doing on Six Music Ruffus? - Yeah. - Chatting about how you cope with the latest music. - No, he's not. - What you can do. - You're my series of How Do You Cope Out? - Yeah, yeah. - Richard Osmond episode is out now. - Thank you. - Alison Spittle coming up next. - This is fantastic. - You end up on Rod Mark. I will punch you up the guts. (laughing) - You have picked a track for his feature, actually. - I think I might have picked two. - What? - Closed Busting. - No, not Cloud Busting. - Oh, but he's not on Closed Busting. - This sad boy music. - I was given access. - War on Drugs, he's gone for. - Okay. - I was given access to an early viewing of the new dating program that's gonna be on I Player and it's called Better Date than Never. And it's about people who've never been on a date before going on their first date. And I cried so much. - Aw. - It is super. - Is it like a 2020s more acceptable, acceptable version of streetlight? - No, what's that problem called? I think it was called Would Like to Meet with the Flirt Expert, what's her name? - No, I guess it's more in the wheelhouse of Love on the Spectrum and the Undatables. It's in that world. I think it might even be made by the same people who make Love on the Spectrum. But the reasons why people's dates have been quite a long time coming is more varied. So there's one girl on it who's got really severe anxiety and finds it hard to leave the house. There's one guy called Charles who's too shy day and doesn't believe in himself. - Aw, John's gonna get it. (laughing) - Oh, Charles. Oh my God, Charles is so sweet. And the guy making the program. - What are my favourite people though? - The guy says to Charles, why don't you just be yourself 'cause I think you're really great and Charles got it. - Speakers now and time has said that to him. Oh, John's. - Hey, let's get this in the car. - I just never seen John cry this much. - She's the end of her festival. (laughing) - She's the end of her festival. - She's the one who's gonna do it all the time. - And then there's Diane and Diane is a trans woman who works in on a farm. She's a rural farmer and hadn't been on a date since she transitioned and finds that she just gets rejected by so many groups of people in society and she goes on her first day farm. (laughing) - I'm crying, he moses. So thank you to the friend of the show who sent me early access to. - Oh, we haven't named you just in case you would have loved. - Yeah. - But I think it's an eye-player now or it's certainly an eye-player this week. - I would recommend better date than never. That's on the BBC day. - Oh, check that's on the BBC. - Yeah, we can plug it. - Yeah, so does it on the BBC? Well, focus. - A little focus. - Race cross the world. - Episodes one, two, and three. - Oh, there. - Yeah. Hashtag team Charles. Finally. - Hashtag team Charles, great. - Alice, you know I'm solution-oriented, right? - Yeah. - I described you as solution-oriented and so am I not my gym the other day. - I. (laughing) - I have proved beyond all doubt that I am one of the great solution is. - Okay. Picture the scene. This is the smorning, right? This only happened this morning. This is fresh. John's wins. - Okay, so this is why you're walking with a bit of a perpanyestep. - Yeah, so I've got my stayed in hotels where we were recording an episode of How Do You Coat Plus Night. I thought, I'm walking back, it was quite late. It's about court pass 10, and I'm thinking, will they have tea? Will they have milk? - Tea bags. - Yeah, I'd not sell them. - So nice to sell, then. (laughing) - Will they have a cup? - So I brought Earl Grey 'cause I've always got that. - So that's safe. - I thought they'll probably have regular tea, but I did take a tea bag from our tea here just in case. - Nice one. - I then bought some oat milk 'cause I thought, let's just make sure you, the worst case scenario is you wake up no milk. So by the oat milk, they've got an espresso machine there. I'd clocked that. - In the hotel. - In the hotel. - So it's all good. Wake up this morning. I have my tea. I'm very glad and very pleased. - Did they have all that stuff? - They did have, they had dairy milk, but they didn't have obviously like almond milk or whatever. So I get, I now had my tea, I've done my wordle, I've had my shower, I'm ready for coffee, I'm ready for boggle. - Right. - Go to the espresso machine and I put the little pod in and I turn it on and it doesn't work. It just won't turn on. Try different plugs, try different plug adapters, nothing. So all I've got in that hotel, I've written it down here, I've got plates, bowls, knives, fork spoons, shower gel, shampoo, lural bin bags, tea sugar, UHD milk. How am I making my coffee? - And you want a cup of coffee? - I want a cup of coffee. - First things first, the shower gel is irrelevant. Unless it goes so badly wrong that you get splashed. - Yeah. - And you've got another shower. - Yeah. Or I get it on my clothes and that's just the best way of getting the stain on it. - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause you haven't got any linole. - Yeah. - How on earth? - How on earth? - Well I've never cut open an espresso pod. - Yeah. - This is what you're sure is. - So I'm assuming, is it powdered in an espresso pod? - Yes, it is. - 'Cause you ain't grinding it in the pod. - So there's powder in the pod. - There's powder in the pod. - There's powder in the pod, but you've got a kettle of you. - I've got a kettle, yeah. - Now you're gonna need a filter of some sort. - Here we go. - Because otherwise there'll be too gritty and there'll be bits in your coffee. - Come back to that, you can get a nice. - So what did you use? - What does John Robin use? - A filter. - Oh, you were going after the running expo, you went to a Doilly con, didn't you? (laughing) - 'Cause you love Doilly, so. - No Doilly, you must have a Doilly or two on you. - No Doilly's available. - What could you use as a filter? - With an upkins. - No. - No, sir. - You need some things, I'd be so. - Normal pipa is gonna be too thick. So you need something. - Yeah, you can't just pour it on a piece of eight, four piece of it. - No, sir, you need something that's gonna allow, that's gonna keep the big bit out. And you're in a hotel room. - When I had this idea, I said, you are one of the greats. (laughing) Did you use a pair of perishing boxer shorts? - Oh, goodness. - No, but that wouldn't have been a bad idea, actually. - 'Cause you can use a bandana as a filter in the jungle. - All right, come up. - And you'd really wanna cup a coffee if you were straightening it through all boxer shorts. I don't know how. - I took a sharp knife, a D-bag. - A slice at the top of the T-bag. - A nice fantastic actually. - Emptied out the T-bag. I filled the T-bag with the coffee from the Nespresso pod. I then pierced the T-bag with a forked time to hold it. - That's fantastic. - Place the fork along the top of the mug and poured the coffee through the T- and then just let it percolate like a coffee bag. - Can I use this opportunity to declare to the world that I'm your biggest fan? - Yeah! - That's great. - That's great. - And it does almost all of your decisions. - And did I take a photo for the comedy? - Of course he did. - Yes, he did. - Of course he did. - That's really good. - Where are we at? - And there were no, there were the extraneous T-leaves in the T-bag so there was no strange coffee in T- how did it taste? - Do you know what? It tasted slightly better than an Nespresso because I just brewed it for ages. So it was like, you know, this Nespresso that watery taste. We're going to be sponsored by - so do. - No, George Clooney's got that absolutely true, - It's true, it's just ever so slightly not got that fullness. - That's just, that's really good. - Bait Potatoes, 15p, found Freddie, Best Yaga in the world, Better Date than Never #TeamCharles. - Which is big potatoes as a win. - Yeah, yeah. - But you're the price of the win. - The price of the win. - The DIY coffee filter, tea bag and fork is win. That's five wins. - Yeah. - Only two losses, six jacket potatoes in 20. That just feel like a lost per jacket potato, but it's just one loss and you took a picture for AI Lilly. - I didn't take the picture. - No, you didn't. - I realized before I'd also say it's a bit dodgy to take a photo of a stranger without that permission. - Absolutely, of course. - But yeah, I realized the person I was trying to take the photo for didn't exist. - Five, two, eight, win. - But also my chat with Lizzie, which was quite depressing. - Who's Lizzie? - Just Lizzie, sorry. - Oh, Lizzie. - Just we saw, - Jarest soul. - Yeah, chat with Lizzie. - So there we go. It's another great week of wins. (upbeat music) - Crikey Moses, that's 50 minutes. We've got to read some emails. - Yeah, we do. - Absolutely do. - Okay, this first one is from Tino. Tino says, "Hello, my laquacious London lap kings." - Oh. - What's a lap king? - Not sure, it sounds good. - "Widdicum defector retro one" and first time #contentcontributor here. During episode five, two, eights chat with child section, John mentions someone running around with a cricket helmet on near him and my ears pricked up. I'm 99% sure that's my friend Tom, who happens to be a fellow resident of Johnny J.R. town, Buckinghamshire. Anyway, as John correctly guessed, Tom's running the London marathon full cricket garb, helmet pads, gloves, et cetera. For access sport, the sports inclusion charity he works for and is hoping to break that particular world record for running in a full cricket kit of three hours 20 minutes, 46 seconds. - Oh wow. Three hours 46. - Three hours 20. - 26, as you go pads on. - Yeah. - That can't be. - Helmet pads, gloves, bat, et cetera. - Box. - That would make things and that would be very tricky. Unsurprisingly, Tom Nestles happily in the basket of good eggs and is combining his lifelong loves of cricket and running in this attempt, but it also reminds me of a previous record that I was roped into help document. It's 2019. It's the Milton Keynes Half marathon. Tom is dressed as Willie Wonka. The highly sought after world record, now I'll be interested in both your thoughts on this. The highly sought after world record for a half marathon dressed as a book character is that stake. - Any book character. - I am not. - Because there will be some book characters that are wearing clothes very suit to the Royal of the Rovers. - Royal of the Rovers. - Yeah. - For swimmer. - Yeah. - You know, you just get what's a film, you know, is there a book of chariots of fire? You could dress as a marathon runner, man, as a man. - Exactly, you know, as a fin man. - So I am not pouring any score on anyone who's ever run in fancy dress or broken world record race, - It feels like you could do that on a technicality. - It feels like the sort of records that began to creep into the Guinness Book of Records after it's primed. - And you're against that. - I'm against that. - Well, there's if you're dressed as, you know, the BFG. - But there's more to that. - But like, if I say there was a world record for running a marathon dressed as the BFG and I set that record, and then it got beaten, and that guy's BFG costume was like less aerodynamic. - Less dedicated than mine was to replicating the BFG. - Yeah, you've got big shoes on. - These just wearing big ears. - Yeah. - I mean, there's the book, but I'll answer to the loneliness of the long distance runner. So you could do it as a long distance runner. - It's too vague. - It is too vague. The parameters are too vague anyway. Wally from Where's Wally quaked in his brown sensible shoes. My and Tom's brother, Dave's responsibilities were to cycle ahead of Tom every mile and photograph him in full costume as he passed each mile marker to prove he wore the costume for the whole run. - Are you able to wear trainers? - Sure. - Well, you can't, unless Where's Wally wear his trainers. - That's the, yeah. - Yeah, big fun of super blast twos. Where's Wally? - If you're wearing like leather brooks fair enough, that's gonna be hell on earth. - Oh, yeah. - Clearly, the ratifiers at Guinness take every single one of their records are touched too seriously, but yes, John, it's about standards. Run, done, time achieved limbs. A pulonpus conquered along the touch lines of the MK Don Stadium. A few days later, Tom got confirmation from Guinness he held the world record. Cut to several months later in the pub with Tom, Dave and I having a few, a few points with other friends. When one of the others questioned the claim that Tom was in possession of a world record, mobile phones were produced websites are accessed. Tom looked disheartened. Oh. Harry Potter's done you there mate. He had indeed done him there. Not even four months after that glorious day in Milton Keynes, a costumed Harry Potter completed the Great North Run and in doing so, lopped a whopping 10 minutes off one cuss time. Ah. Thanks for all the leftino. So I'm thinking we're like, - Oh, it's too late. - Potter's like, there's no control happening. - Aipen as some glasses. - Yeah. But what shoe does shoes, is the Potter will wear school shoes. - School shoes. So you'd have to do the mountain in school shoes. - You'd have to. - You have to. - Otherwise the whole thing was brought into distribute. - Yeah. - So if he did on a broomstick, that's cheating. - That's cheating as well, very good. - This is from Holly, hello my three peas in a content pod. I was surprised and delighted to hear Alice mention Pavarotti, the hamster on the show. I'm well acquainted with it plus God myself. - Who's Pavarotti the hamster? - He was my school hamster. - When he was at school. - Yeah, sort of. - Well, he was named after Pavarotti. So we, I think the school bought him after the 1990 World Cup. As a friend of our school alum, my two had Pavarotti to stay with me for the weekend. He escaped within two minutes of me, my sister spent the weekend setting elaborate hamster traps who made, of course, to try and catch him before Monday morning. Thankfully, he was found after we saw trail of bits of four mattress, which he'd nibbled at to make an elaborate holiday home in the wardrobe. I wonder if Pavarotti would count as a company connection, Jyolk and Vauer. Holly, I love that. He was a lovely little thing Pavarotti. - We should get him on. - Well, he's been dead since 1991. - I think. - That would definitely count as a company connection. - Oh, yeah. - You both housed the same hamster. - Yeah. - Oh, top guy. Top guy Pavarotti. And this is a drop down disaster. Hello, Shumayin. I can't do it at all. Now it's something akin to a drop down disaster a few years ago. Funny enough, we're trying to range a particularly short distance house move, although not short enough for that feature. For the sake of the feature and to not dox myself, let's say my name is Simon P. Dobson. Now for the move, it was from our first flat to our first house. We had limited furniture and stuff, so I figured I just rent a van for the day. I went out to a well-recommended white van, rent the site and signed up, ready to rent myself a van. I typed in all my gubins name, address, day, a birth, username, of choice, not reading the clear instructions at the username. Regardless of what you typed in, we'll be cropped down to a mere eight characters. Simon P. Dobson, in it went, clicked, signed up, but wait, you simply have to be on email and verify that email. That's where it hit me, the verification email, confirm your registration, Simon P. Doe. P, yeah, P, D, O, yeah. The user, Simon P. Doe, the username for a website where you can do short to rentals of unmarked white vans. Needless to say, I quickly deleted my account and simply paid someone else 500 quid to do everything for me. That's from Simon P. Dobson. Simon P. Dobson. Well done, Simon. Well done, Simon. Good use of funds, actually. Yes. We can't end on Simon P. Doe. No, we can't. We've got a little, a little one final little treat, okay, John? Was that? Well, we just, we put the feelers out and got a hell of a response. So we've got round two of well-wishinq. Yeah, so you need to go back on the BBC website 'cause you're a compliment. It rounds as it sees two cargo ships in the straight of all news after three vessels are attacked. Hey, John, it's Paula Radcliffe. I just wanted to wish you the very, very best of luck for Sunday. Remember, you agreed to do this and this is the party part at the end of all the hard work. So you've put all of that hard work in in training. Go out and enjoy it. Make the most of that atmosphere. Don't start off too quickly, pace yourself and remember big, big smile when you cross that finish line. She's the best of Britain. The London marathon out feels significant. Hello, John. It's Annie McGraw here. I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck for Sunday. I'll be rooting for you. And remember, it's the winning, not the taking part that counts. I'm sure you're gonna do exceptionally well. You've done a half marathon. It's just that, twice. And that's maths. If your mind is wandering throughout, because it's a long time, you're gonna be running for. I know you're pace. Then you can just imagine what the other runners, companies house, details are. That's what I'm gonna do in front. Or perhaps what the word'll start. So anyway, good luck and enjoy it. (upbeat music) John, good luck. I would look in that marathon. There's something I want you to do. I think something I saw a fellow do in the closing stages of the New York marathon when I was very much at the shuffling along stage, but he was in a worse place than me. English bloke. And he started berating his own legs furiously, like they didn't belong to him. He was berating his legs in the same way and John Cleez, you know, Basil Faulty, berated his red car in that episode of Faulty Tellers. So at some stage, I'd like you to berate a part of your body. And then I'd like to tell me about it afterwards. I wish you well, my friend. I wish you very, very well. Hi, John. It's Shamel from Standing Together. Keep going. I'm sure you're doing absolutely amazing. Remember that the pain is temporary, but the pride is forever, and the difference that you have gone and made to this organization. When your legs are getting tired, run with your heart, and that will get you through that finish line. From me and those at Standing Together, we just want to say a massive thank you to the difference that you have gone and made. Keep running. Oh, that's nice to end on. Yeah, what's going on in the world, John? Rest in the heart, she village of said that filming of Dr Foster is damaging sales. Oh, local traders are up in arms. Of course they are. Why would it damage sales? Because they have to block off the high street, Dave. Oh, I see. They're idiots. Yeah. I just need to dig into three ways the latest inflation figures are going to affect me. Fuel prices of risen. Yeah. Food prices could have a way to go. And where does that leave interest rates? Food for thought. That is indeed. That was very, very, very sweet. It was so lovely to hear from Shemella. Which part of your body are you going to berate? So, I'm going to be together. I am going-- Won't be your ass. Won't be my ass because that'll be full of ass magic. It'll be-- I suspect it'll be the old hips. Yeah, the hips are tricky, aren't they? Yeah. But then-- because you don't often-- well, I, in my life, don't often have issues with my hips. I don't really realize I have hips. Yeah, you got-- Yeah. So one of the sort of unspoken heroes of the body-- and it tends to be an older life that hips become an issue. So yeah, but then the Buddhist says, who is berating the hips? So then I'll think about that for four hours. Well, I mean-- Well, who is berating the hips? John Roberts. It was who is noticing John Roberts berating the hips. John Roberts. Well, who is noticing John Roberts-- Well, it's the same 1982 John Roberts lives in Buckinghamshire as a comedian. Yeah. John Robbins is doing it. Who is John Roberts? You're what you. They need to-- You don't need but-- They need to look in the mirror. They need to look in the mirror. Well, who is looking in the mirror? Them. Well, who's in the mirror? The person's-- the reflection. You're best there, right? Bucking you. This is nonsense. And this is, yeah, but different perspectives. Oh, the right perspective. Absolutely. Goon Dockery. That's a good point. That's a good point, I think. Thank you, Dave. Thank you. When he's having a go with his hips, he'll be doing it. You're a pragmatist. Yes. Yeah, this John Robbins. See this glass of water, Ellis? Yeah. Do you know how I escape craving? No. The glass is already broken. No, it's not. I can see it. Ellis, the glass is already broken. No, it's not. Look at it. It's already broken. But I'm not partially sighted. I'm fine. Kinga, I can-- What does that mean? I'm more interested in this than him. OK, I'm saying you're not. I think you look like a cold teeness. The cold teeness have already disbanded. What? No, I'm without this now. No, they're kicking late this year. They're on tour. They've already disbanded and the glass is already broken. God bless the band is out in August. Hmm. OK. What does it mean? It's quickly-- It's about-- It's already broken. This is-- It's not. It's a little bit buchum, buchum. So the glass is already broken means that why would I want for anything because everything is going to end? So that's going to smash one day. Yeah. And it will do. It's just all straight. But I'm locked, cupboard. So what is going to say? I bought a really nice mug from Oliver Bonas 10 years ago. And I've still got it because I look after it. I'm trying to get from it and then it's in the cupboard. But what kind of point? It's already broken. No, it's not. I saw it this morning. What is saying is, if I invest my happiness on things going to plan and being staying the way they are, I will inevitably be disappointed because this glass will break. Yes. Yes, it will die. My house will burn down one day, even if it's when it careers into the sun in a billion years time. Yeah. So if I accept that there is no-- there is no true satisfaction in the things I want to happen happening or staying the same. Because everything will end. Everything will end. Everything comes and goes. But to be clear, yeah, 14 has haven't ended yet. But they have already just-- I knew I was built in the 1640s. It's lasting ages. You're going to be fine. It's already burned down. The glass is broken. Cortinas have disbanded. Oh, so she's shame. I'm saddest about one of those. This is it, it's the heft. It's the warp and weft. It's the push and pull. It's the different view points. It's nice to Ellis thinks this is all mumbo jumbo. Yeah, yeah. And it's nice that you think there's actual value in that sentiment which gets you through the day. Yes. It's nice. It's a bit-- it's a bit-- you know, push and pull. It's good stuff. We should do more-- we should do bonus content for the Ellison John Ascended Matter Universe where I read Buddhist parables to Ellis. Yeah. Don't mind that. And he gives his opinion because there's a superb one about a farmer. Yeah. And we'll call it Buddhist or-- [BEEP] [LAUGHTER] Good. We need to go. Yeah, that's great stuff. Thanks, everyone.
