Starting point is 00:01:08 do we have any celebrity guests on this week or anything? Is there anyone scheduled? Well, Warwick is still missing. He's MIA. I'm pretty worried about him. I've put up posters on
Starting point is 00:01:22 notice boards and I've put an posters on notice boards and I've put an ad out in the Metro newspaper in London town asking if anyone had seen him the only picture I had of Warwick Davis was him in the role of the leprechaun
Starting point is 00:01:41 but I'm hoping it's a good enough likeness that we'll get some sort of response and people get in contact with me if they find him because you know i don't know how he he'll cope on his own he's only a little fella so we've got no warwick um but in his stead, we have... You're not going to believe this, Lewis. No. We have the fabled actor, raconteur, television personality, film star... Brian Blessed is here, ladies and gentlemen. Really?

Starting point is 00:03:00 I'm willing to give it a go, Lewis. I'm up for anything, you know me. First question. These are some questions sent in by Matt Summers. When and how did you meet Simon? I mean, how did you end up coming on this show? I met him in Tesco
Starting point is 00:03:17 last night in the biscuit aisle. Okay. Were you purchasing biscuits yourself, or were they for a friend? What a fucking weird question. What biscuits were you purchasing, Brian? He's quite pensive, he's giving this question some thought.
Starting point is 00:03:40 They were for my daughter, Rosalind! Right. He's buying them for his daughter. Yeah. Has she got a beard like yours as well, Brian? No! No. No.
Starting point is 00:03:55 He hasn't. So Brian, what's your current acting status? Any TVs or movie shows in the works? Movie shows. Movie shows? Yeah. It's a movie show. Any TVs or movie shows? I'm on stage in the London town.

And Harry Harry Potter is They're for adults

Do you know what I'd be like
Starting point is 00:17:47 if I was watching or reading Harry Potter? I'd just go fucking apeshit. I'd go, you know, that's bullshit. Harry would never fucking do that. Why would he,
Starting point is 00:17:56 why would he do that? That's ridiculous. Oh, Voldemort, just fucking kill him. Just fucking kill him. He does. Because that's how I talk. I can't do an impression of myself.

Starting point is 00:19:14 got the wrong band there right oh god that was terrible fucking hell hello I'm Tina Barrett from S Club 7 and I listened to the Yodpod.
Starting point is 00:19:43 If any listeners want to go to it, the URL is Oh God, don't read all this out. It's ridiculously long. d-a-r-r-y-n-r-e-e-d-s dot tripod.com slash s-club-7-secrets.html So what is this? Is it some sort of a bizarre conspiracy site? hyphen club hyphen seven hyphen secrets dot html So what is this? Is it some sort of a bizarre conspiracy site? It's the work of a nutter of a deranged man probably a yognaut
Starting point is 00:20:18 just hazarding a guess with that Since the dawn of man true evil had surrounded us, lurking in the darkness like a dark lurking thing, ready to pounce on any poor unsuspecting innocent fool who stumbled blindly into its path. The lord and master of this domain goes by many names. Beelzebub, the Dark Lord, the Fallen One,
Starting point is 00:20:46 Santa, and of course the Beast. But today, as we fast approach the 20th century evil, has taken over. What do you mean, we fast approach the 20th century? Was this website written before? Yeah, I think this is quite an old website.
Starting point is 00:21:01 This website is at least 11 years old. 10 years ago. See, this is ridiculous an old website. This website is at least 11 years old. 10 years ago. See, this is ridiculous. This shows that it is just a paranoid conspiracy nut doing it. Okay. They think that there are hidden messages in the S Club 7 songs that when you play them backwards reveal something secret. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Which is just utterly, utterly ridiculous. Because no one ever does that. which is just utterly, utterly ridiculous. Because no one ever does that. But today, as we fast approach the 20th century, evil has taken not one, but seven new names. And lo, they be Tina, John, Paul, Hannah, Bradley, Rachel, Joe. Dun-dun-dun. Hannah Bradley Rachel Joe dun dun dun so basically
Starting point is 00:21:46 this guy seems to think that S Club are they think that the S stands for Satan and he goes through the lyrics
Starting point is 00:21:55 Satan Club 7 what does it stand for actually Satan Club 7 Mary Whitehouse it says Mary Whitehouse says as the resident morality guardian for CIB PP all I have to say
Starting point is 00:22:11 regarding the s club seven is quite simply fuck them fuck them right in the ear and you can fucking well quote me on Oh hello I'm Tina Barrett formerly of S Club 7 I still have yet to release my my debut solo album because it's not really going very well but um in the meanwhile I like to listen to the Yoggpod oh it's really good Lewis and Simon are really amazing goodbye goodbye
Starting point is 00:22:53 I don't know why I said goodbye there I just felt like it was polite this week me and Simon are looking forward to the new Doctor Who coming out. I don't know if this is a big deal to anyone beyond the UK, but we've been sort of spammed with... Yeah, they're promoting it heavily.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I mean, do you reckon people beyond England really know about Doctor Who? Is it popular in America or Europe? It's being shown on BBC America like a week later or something. Doctor Who's one of these things that is sort of a very British tradition I suppose in a way. It's something we
Starting point is 00:23:37 have close to our heart. It's a long running British TV show that is set mostly in Britain or you know All the actors are British and the Doctor's a very British character. It's a very BBC programme. It was all very...
Starting point is 00:23:53 It was like a family but slightly scary sci-fi show. I mean, did you ever watch any of the old ones? Yeah. I mean, the only one I really remember is from... Oh, God. I mean, the only one I really remember is from, um... Oh, God. I watched pretty much all of the Sylvester McCoy ones, and he was
Starting point is 00:24:10 a bad doctor. So it kind of left a... What do you mean, a bad doctor? Like a sour taste in my mouth. He was pretty terrible at playing Doctor Who. Well, every series took parts from their individual time. I mean, like, during the 70s and 80s, they were slightly different.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And it's been through so many incarnations. I really can't watch the old ones, though. I mean, one time, I remember I was living in a student house. And we got delivered to the door one day a brown sort of package. It was just addressed to the house. sort of package. It was just addressed to the house. And it contained about ten
Starting point is 00:24:48 VHS tapes containing really old Doctor Who films and series of TV shows. Weird. It was really weird. Because obviously none of the girls had ordered it. They all just assumed I'd bought it.
Starting point is 00:25:04 And so I just sold it on eBay. Sold them on eBay. I didn't watch them. Because I didn't really have a VHS player. But I might have done if I had. Isn't that theft? What? You sold something that didn't belong to you. There could have been someone, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:18 desperately looking for them. It got delivered to the wrong address. And you're profiting off of it. Handed them in to the police. Well, anyway, I mean, that's... I mean, I'm a fan of Doctor Who. And there was one time when I was about 16 in London
Starting point is 00:25:37 and one of the doctors was doing a lecture, Tom Baker, on some sort of science my god science of doctor who or something and i attended that and like i met him and had a chat with him as well which was quite cool ah so i've actually met one of the doctors which is kind of cool um it doesn't mean he's my favorite one because everyone sort of has a favorite doctor, don't they? He's most people's favourite Doctor Who. He's a nice guy, Tom Baker. Like the big blustering Englishman.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I think he's cut from the same cloth as Brian Blessed. They're from that same kind of old school... Yeah. Just crazy people. Who's your favourite then? Oh God, I don't know, really. The thing is, people's opinion of the Doctor is completely decided by which Doctor they watch the most of. And we've had Tenant for so long.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We had Tenant for so long we had Tenant for so long and I've watched every single episode of Tenant and I've watched it recently so when I think of the Doctor I think of David Tenant now it's just ingrained in me and this is why it's going to be pretty weird
Starting point is 00:27:02 to have a new guy take over because everyone just thinks Doctor Who, oh David Tenant And this is why it's going to be pretty weird to have a new guy take over. Because everyone just thinks, Doctor Who, oh, David Tennant. They don't think of it as the character, the person who changes from time to time into someone else. I think you're wrong. I think a lot of people do realise it's the character. And I mean, you saw the same thing happen when Christopher Eccleston did it for a year and then changed over to David Tennant I mean people were like oh I like Christopher Eccleston I'm not sure I'm gonna like anyone else but actually you know people people got to like him quite quickly and I think the same thing will probably happen I mean I'm predicting that you'll actually in you know three
Starting point is 00:27:38 weeks time after you've watched a few episodes you'll say to me yeah it's okay it's nothing great but he's okay you're not too yeah disappointed i guess he does look to be i mean the thing is at its heart dr who's a kids tv show yeah so there's always going to be daft things happening in it and it's you know they know their audience very well and oh god it's going to be ridiculous isn't it there's just going to be utterly ridiculous things going on and I'm going to be watching it and I'm going to get angry and elsewhere in the country
Starting point is 00:28:14 there's going to be all these young kids watching it and going yay yeah and I'm going to be going you son of a bitch what are you doing why would he act like that? What's going on? Oh no, look at those special effects. Oh Jesus
Starting point is 00:28:29 Christ, that monster's ridiculous. And all the kids will be going, yay! Yay! This is the best TV show ever, mummy! Fuck off! Says J.K. Yay! The thing is... Are you lagging, or is, like...
Starting point is 00:28:50 I mean, is it your internet connection, or is it your brain? My brain's lagging. I'm not sure what's going on. I'd rather have a bowl of... See, the thing is You're going to enjoy Watching these Doctor Who Episodes with this guy
Starting point is 00:29:08 I predict that you're Going to enjoy them And you're going to Come onto vent And you're going to Complain about them Yeah Exactly
Starting point is 00:29:13 I'm going to enjoy Watching it That experience That like hour Of watching it And then immediately Afterwards I'm going to think
Starting point is 00:29:20 That was the biggest Pile of shit ever Even though during it I'm probably going to be Like clapping at the television You'll kid yay yay yay oh i love you dr leaves oh and then i'll turn off the telly and i'll go well that was fucking shite i'll just rant about it to people on the internet. I'll post on forums saying, you know, lol, what a joke, worst Doctor
Starting point is 00:29:47 ever. Except it's how British teenagers talk these days. So also, in the related, relatively related news, science kind of news, the Large Hadron Collider hasn't destroyed the world.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Breaking news. World's still here. Yeah. It was a load of bollocks about this whole thing. It's like, do you know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of the times before trains. And when people were getting on the first trains that would go above 50 miles per hour, people thought that if you rode,
Starting point is 00:30:27 if a human rode above 50 miles per hour, the human body wouldn't be able to take it and it would just collapse and implode and stuff. It's like people, first of all, didn't know whether humans would be able to go into space and go into zero gravity when they were sending up the first satellites because they thought that,
Starting point is 00:30:45 you know, it might not be possible, you know, with no gravity, you might not be able to swallow properly, or you might not be able to do all this stuff. You may not be able to swallow properly. They probably had buffet cars from the very start on those trains,
Starting point is 00:31:02 and people had a cup of tea in front of them, and they were just watching the world whiz by and they were worried that they wouldn't be able to swallow the tea somehow, like the g-force of moving no no no, that's the one, that's about space though, but you know, people were worried about it, and obviously they had to
Starting point is 00:31:18 send a few trains out you know, with brave sort of pilots, you know to test if you could go at 50 miles per hour successfully, you know. And I think there was a bit of sort of suggestion that it wasn't safe, you know, at the time. You know, people weren't supposed to go that fast. It's kind of like that, but modern version, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Although physicists have shown that in all of these studies and examples that there's no chance of a black hole forming. Ignorant people like to cut and run with this kind of sensationalist stuff. Well, there's no chance
Starting point is 00:32:02 of a black hole just magically appearing. So I don't think there was any danger in any case well if people are fucking around with subatomic particles you can't really predict what the hell's going to happen if they knew what was going to happen they wouldn't have run the experiment in the first place because the whole point of running the experiment is to see what happens
Starting point is 00:32:18 well but even so like the sort of things they're doing are not measured to be sufficient to produce a stable black hole. Well, no, I mean, the issue is that there could be some sort of chain reaction started, and then a tiny, tiny microscopic black hole is formed, and then it just sucks in matter and just grows, and then the Earth is gone, and then the solar system's gone,
Starting point is 00:32:47 and then basically the whole universe is just a singularity. Which would be quite useful, because if you've ever had your dinner on your lap and sat down in front of the telly and then realised that the remote is on the other side of the room, if you're in a singularity, then that remote is actually part of you so you don't have to put your dinner somewhere get up walk over get the remote then turn the telly over but also the telly the dinner oh that is also already part of you yeah yeah the dinner's already in your stomach so you don't have to eat it. Your stomach is already there.
Starting point is 00:33:27 It's just all singularity. The telly's in your stomach as well, unfortunately. A bit like a telly tubby. Wow. Must be awkward for telly tubbies. Time for telly tubbies.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Time for telly tubbies. I mean, if you want to watch something on telly, say, you know, Doctor Who. You want to watch Doctor Who and you're a telly tubby. You can't watch it on yourself. You've got to get a friend, on telly, say, you know, Doctor Who. You want to watch Doctor Who and you're a telly tubby.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You can't watch it on yourself. You've got to get a friend, another telly tubby, to watch it on their belly. And it's just, you know, it's just inches above their groin. And you're staring at it for an hour. That's got to be a little bit awkward. So they have to, like, sit in front of you as well. And then they can watch what you've got on your telly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I guess the problem is with the sound. You know, if you've both got the sound on and you're not wearing headphones. I guess you have to plug a headphone jack. I don't know where the jack would be. Somewhere around the back. Yeah. So you've each got your headphones
Starting point is 00:34:23 plugged into the other person's Headphone jack You're sitting there In front of each other Watching Yeah staring down At each other's bellies Navel gazing
Starting point is 00:34:34 So one of you's watching like EastEnders And the other one's watching Bargain Hunt Oh It's a hard decision to make isn't it Which one would you watch EastEnders or Bargain Hunt?
Starting point is 00:34:46 I mean, that would just be a couple of Teletubbies. I mean, what if there's like, you know, seven or eight Teletubbies? How would it work in that situation? Would there be a chain? Or would one of them just volunteer? You're walking past it and it says, you know, widescreen television, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:04 we've got the match on today. And you walk in and it's just Teletubbies stapled to the wall. Just everywhere. Oh, I was thinking it would just be a really, really fat one. No, there's hundreds of these Teletubbies just all stuck up on walls. Are they dead, do you think? They're still alive, but they're in a lot of pain. They'd rather they were dead.
Starting point is 00:35:27 What kind of post-apocalyptic world have you just envisaged? It's alright if you're not a Teletubby. I mean, it's cool. I mean, there's tellies everywhere. Could you, like, surgically remove the telly from a Teletubby? No, no. It's part of the Teletubby. And if you kill the Teletubby, then the TV doesn of the Teletubby And if you kill
Starting point is 00:35:45 The Teletubby Then the TV Doesn't work So you've got to Keep him alive Right Barely alive Oh my god
Starting point is 00:35:52 You've got these Starving Teletubbies Where were we By the way I don't know Teletubbies I think What was before that I've no idea
Starting point is 00:36:02 It doesn't matter It doesn't matter Just forget it't matter. Just forget it. It's too late. Oh, your Large Hadron Collider, of course. Oh, right. Yeah. There's a really interesting scientific thing. What is the coldest place in the universe?
Starting point is 00:36:19 Your heart. No, it's actually somewhere on Earth. It's in a lab somewhere where they've reduced the temperature to a fraction of a Kelvin above absolute zero. Well, because space is actually
Starting point is 00:36:37 slightly warmer than absolute zero because it is just, you know, warmed by all the fusion that goes on sort of thing very slightly so we can actually go colder than that on earth using refrigeration where's the hottest place in the universe. It's cold, it's dark in there. There's no room for any love or warmth. Actually, what do you mean? I love you, man. I love a lot ofd Wood, who was in Dorian Gray. Dorian Gray?
Starting point is 00:37:33 Well, I guess, you know, I wasn't really taken by her, to be honest, Lewis. But then I think she reminded me of a cousin too much. Yeah, that can put you off if a girl looks like someone like that. Yeah. Hello! I'm Brian Bliss's wife and I listen to the Yoggpod!
Starting point is 00:37:58 Goodbye! Well, we can say that people did the videos for the Ogpod challenge, and we can announce the next challenge, which we have to come up with. So, because I like the idea of people filming themselves doing stupid shit. I mean, not dangerous stuff, just stuff that's a bit silly, you know? So we had a couple of really excellent videos sent in by people opening cans and getting sprayed,
Starting point is 00:38:30 which was pretty awesome. I love it. So thank you very much for those. I posted them on the site. You watch a 30-second video of someone doing something fairly odd, but benign, and you think, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:38:44 Yeah. I like the idea of people doing stuff in their gardens. Because I like looking at people's gardens. Okay. Well, people just film their gardens. The person who has the nicest garden... Maybe they could dig a hole or something?
Starting point is 00:38:59 Search for buried treasure. Search for buried treasure. You have to dig a hole. Because this is something I did as a kid right I was so excited I had
Starting point is 00:39:09 like a phase I went through a phase in my life for about a year when I would just dig holes everywhere and try and
Starting point is 00:39:16 find buried treasure I was convinced that just by digging holes in the garden if I dug deep enough I'd find
Starting point is 00:39:22 something valuable that's a bit odd so I want people to do that. So you want people to just dig up their parents' back gardens to try and find treasure. Well, if they ask their parents, they'll say, you know, Mum, is there any way you particularly want me, you know, you mind me digging a hole?
Starting point is 00:39:38 I don't know about this. It's a lot of effort for someone to go to. Digging a hole's hard work, Lewis. It's hard work. I'm not sure about... I mean, you've dug loads of holes. I'm sure you're aware of just how much work goes into the digging of a hole.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And also, what do you do with all the dirt and earth? I want people to search buried treasure. Dig up. You have to, like, dig a second hole to put the dirt into. No, you just put it back in the hole when you're finished. Then you dig a hole somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:40:04 What if you, like, start digging in your the hole and you're finished. Then you dig a hole somewhere else. What if you, like, start digging in your back garden and you find the body of, like, your old cat that died when he was six and you just start crying,
Starting point is 00:40:15 cradling this little horse? That's not going to happen, oh God. That would be horrible. I think, I'm not sure this is a good
Starting point is 00:40:21 idea. You're convinced that people's back gardens are going to be filled with skeletons of tiddles rather than any kind of gold idea. You're convinced that people's backyards are going to be filled with skeletons of tiddles rather than any kind of gold hoard. Well, I think it's much more likely they'll find a dead
Starting point is 00:40:31 household pet rather than buried pirate treasure. Yeah. I really think it's too much effort for people to go to. I mean, the whole Coke can thing is pretty easy. You've just got to have a can and just film yourself doing it And only two people have been bothered to do that
Starting point is 00:40:49 How many people do you think Are going to respond to Dig up your back garden And find treasure Well let's see I don't want massive footage of them doing it I just want pictures of what they might have found Or stories
Starting point is 00:41:03 If you've got a little brother maybe get him to do the digging yeah you throw him a shovel and you've got a shotgun trained on him and you just say dick he's crying he thinks he's digging a grave man you ask for the shovel back
Starting point is 00:41:24 when he's dug a big enough hole and he just... He just started filling in the hole and he stood in the bottom. Stop it! Stop it! He's buried up to his ankles. He just threw a fucking shovel full of dirt in his face. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Oh no. Oh. Hello, I'm Warwick Davis and I'm in a sewer but I still listen to the Yonk Pod. And what you can do is you can actually add like an echoey sound effect onto that.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Or just... Maybe some dripping water. So Or just the Maybe some dripping water So I think we've had a few people Who've given us donations this week Is that right Simon? Yes Some very lovely listeners Lovely listeners
Starting point is 00:42:20 Have been donating their hard earned monies Their pocket monies from their parents to us. So who's the executive producer for this week, then? We have a tie between two listeners. Jonas Soder, whose name I probably am not pronouncing correctly. Jonas Soder. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I don't know. And the other listener is called Michael Beck He's got a very lovely normal English name So thank you for that Michael Sorry Jonas Sorry I didn't mean that Thank you for having such a normal English name So how much did they donate?
Starting point is 00:43:00 They donated Should we talk about amounts? Because I don't know I think it's their personal business how much they donate. I don't know. I'm not comfortable with it. I'm not comfortable with us.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Well anyway, they're the executive producers for this week. They gave us £1000 each. And me and Lewis off to the Bahamas for a dirty week together. A dirty week drinking
Starting point is 00:43:28 Cuba Libras and being massaged by champagne flute tea. What are they called? Cabina Cabina Boys. Champagne flute tea.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Cabina Boys. What's that called by the way? Has it got some special like high class name? It's called Spackity. No, no, no. high-class name? It's called Spackety.
Starting point is 00:43:46 No, no, no, that's just too common. It has to be called, like, Tea a la Mauve, or something like that. Tea a la Spacker. Right. There we go. Okay. Tea a la Spacker.
Starting point is 00:43:58 So they're the executive producers this week. They will be adding their names onto the list. Thank you, Jonas, Soda, and Michael Beck. So what I do... You're going on our special list. Thank you, Jonas, Soda and Michael Beck. So what I do... You're going on our special list. When I've got like... I think we've also... Carlos.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Special people. Carlos is on the list because he was obviously the executive producer from before. So he obviously kept us going for about... From the first 25 episodes that we did. He kept us going for a few months. Single-handedly keeping us going. a few months single handedly
Starting point is 00:44:25 which is really nice so these people will obviously go on the list and occasionally we'll send out care packages to people who are on the list of gifts and stuff but it won't be for a little while so just so that you know don't expect anything
Starting point is 00:44:42 in the mail like tomorrow oh dear i was just thinking of what kind of things i could put in it you know i was obviously thinking that you know the basics like you know the jaffa cakes and raspberry jam milk that kind of stuff but i was thinking that it might not be possible to send like food abroad to like uh america and stuff they might they might not oh of course you can it's America and stuff they might not oh of course you can it's not a problem they might get like seized by American customs they might like open this package
Starting point is 00:45:11 that's like yogpod gift package and it'll be like don't have to perform a controlled explosion on a piece of chapsticks what the fuck yeah no but What the fuck Yeah No but
Starting point is 00:45:29 Goodness me So anyway We'll sort stuff out So it'll be cool And obviously The thing is These people who are executive producers Will stay
Starting point is 00:45:38 On the producer list In the future And They'll get exclusive stuff So in like a year's time Or something They'll still get Stuff producer list in the future and they'll get exclusive stuff. So in like a year's time or something, they'll still get stuff. It's like lifetime membership to the Yacht Pod Club. Exclusive club.
Starting point is 00:45:53 What the hell? I'm not sure we should be that committed. It's not quite that bad. But obviously what they can do is they can put it on their CV that they're an executive producer of a popular internet podcast And it sounds like they're actually Doing more than they really are
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah well that's all that executive producers do If you look at like films and TV and stuff The executive producer just puts money towards it They don't actually Are actually involved So yeah you can put that down guys So you can sign that after your name Like Mark what's his name
Starting point is 00:46:26 michael michael belt michael bay michael no the guy who executive producer for this show what jonas soda oh michael michael beck and jonas jonas soda and he can say jonas after his name he can have he can have EP Yodpod just get some business cards made and have that on there oh dear
Starting point is 00:47:00 that's a bit odd though Because obviously what happened was Two people donated the exact same amount of money £40 exactly I think we have to say it It's going to be worth it though I'll pay you back don't worry We'll get £40 as the Jaffa Cakes through the door
Starting point is 00:47:20 So if one of them had donated One P more That's the key to it People have to donate numbers That aren't rounded An unround number As they're called So people will be
Starting point is 00:47:35 An unround number I've got two Whole A levels in mathematics I know Another weird thing another weird thing, another weird thing, Simon, is that these people were not necessarily English,
Starting point is 00:47:51 so how did, if they donated like 10 euros or whatever, how did that get converted into pounds? That's a bloody good question. That's a bloody good question. I've got no idea.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Anyway, they're the executive producers, so thank you guys, and we'll sort stuff out, I promise. Thank you. So I want to say a massive thank you to everyone else who donated as well. Who were they? Ryan Calhoun, again, who donated. What?
Starting point is 00:48:21 Carlos Larios, Alex Beer, Joris Vigilar magnificent name Sean Cameron and Grant Lawrence thank you very much guys thank you thank you

Starting point is 00:48:51 That's a boat. I wonder how you're going to edit this long, rambling fucking discussion about executive producers into like two minutes of tight audio. I don't know. I usually manage to do it, man. It's fine. You're a miracle miracle when it comes to editing audio you're not going to say that after you've heard this podcast it's full of crap i'm gonna go oh dear lord that's what i'm gonna do and a big thank you to little dave yognort from chiswick who donated a kidney to us thanks a lot d, Dave. We're sure to get a few thousand for that.
Starting point is 00:49:26 So is there anything you want to say? I mean, Warwick, let us know if you see Warwick. We need to find him. Simon's worried. He's not come home for his dinner. We're still looking for him. Brian Blessed, if you see him around, say hi. He'll say hello, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:49:42 He might pop in. Is he still around here,on's he gone home he's in the area so you know he's not in your house anymore though he's he's left has he he's not in my house no he's a guest yeah he's just popped in like and left come over to stay why not couldn't you put not living here i don't live with brian blessing maybe he's got a family oh yeah of course he has he's's not going to leave his wife for me. I mean, God knows I've begged and I've pleaded.
Starting point is 00:50:09 You could bring her in. I think you wouldn't be able to stand it though. You'd just go deaf. Who the God? Where are you? That's how he speaks apparently. He does. I can't really do a good impression of him. That was okay. It wasn't great. It was okay. No of him That was okay It wasn't great
Starting point is 00:50:25 It was okay No it wasn't It wasn't as good as the real thing No Which is on this Podcast If you just let this podcast keep playing It will go back and repeat itself
Starting point is 00:50:40 It will loop And you'll be able to hear It will loop Hear the podcast You know what you should do You should end the podcast With the beginning of the podcast To really fuck up people So they don't know what's going on
Starting point is 00:50:55 How does this one even start I guess we don't know yet Because it has been edited I think it starts with me saying something like So How are you doing, Simon? That's how they usually start. Hello.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I'm doing quite well, Lewis. You're listening to Time Becomes a Loop. Time Becomes a Loop. Time Becomes a Loop. Time Becomes a Loop. Thank you for listening. I love you.

Starting point is 00:51:40 you bastard the challenge is to dig in up the garden. You've already talked about it. Yeah, I think it's in there somewhere. I'll have to edit it in somewhere. We have to offer some sort of incentive for people to dig up their garden and film it and put it on YouTube. Hannah will take off her top if you don't send us in anything.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Hey-oh-ho!
