Godzilla Kong.
The new empire.
Now playing only in theaters.
Yo. Yo, what you want? Beak or jaws? Empire, now playing only in theaters. That ain't just a mistake, that's an awful howler Both of them are known to pull up at your shows Have the crowd witnessing a murder like they rolled in with a gang of crows
Fuck the censorship, let them see the whole thing
They stay dressed to kill, never sheep's clothing
Dark enough to turn the sun to the moon, you'll see nothing
All you hear is a huff, a puff and a
Expect killings, red spilling and flesh ripping
Impressive innit, the death bringing, it's head spinning
Just kidding, every word in this song
is about two grown men
dressed up as a bird
and a dog
like that
yeah yeah
rubbish ringing Nathan
and Big Tom T
the top square
of the zoom
coming in at
I probably won't say his weight
because we're both quite sensitive about stuff like that.
It is Big Tom G.
And in the bottom box of the Zoom,
coming straight out of Crawley,
it's Romesh Rekha.
Hello, anyway.
How are you?
You know what?
I was really trying to keep up with that,
but, Rom, I think I've got, like,
what is now a third day of
a pretty epic hangover yes well um let's get into this because uh i remember a few years ago um i
was doing a series of warm-up shows for my previous tour actually uh the cynics mixtape and I asked a friend of mine to
come and support me, just to warm up
for me and he turned up
and that's Tom Davis by the way
I'll sort of spoil it a little
and you came in
and you did, on three consecutive
nights you delivered 20 minutes of what I thought
was amazing stand-up
by that time you weren't really doing stand-up and I thought to myself
this guy's got something he's one of the funniest people I've ever met right and so we
talked about it and uh you said look man I'm thinking about getting back into stand-up if
you're going on tour I said I think it's a really great idea you're supremely talented it'd be a
shame not to do that and he said I know what it's about it's about like you've got to work at it
you've got to get your stuff right you've got you gotta you know you gotta really put the grind in and I said yeah yeah that's what
it's all about people think it's easy and you know blah blah and you worked and you toiled and
you toiled and I remember you saying I'd love to go back to the motherland and like do some gigs
that would be a dream come true and uh you worked and you worked and you got this tour out there and
I came to watch the show in Reading, and it is a great show.
I thoroughly recommend everyone go see Underdog.
It's one of my favourite stand-up shows I've seen.
And, you know, to give full clarity, I'd say that even if I didn't mean it,
but I do mean it in this instance.
And then you had the opportunity to take that tour show to your roots,
where your nan left 100 years ago
yeah
and rather than
treating it as a
sort of a spiritual event
it was just a
fucking four day
stag do
wasn't it
I mean that's what
happened
it wasn't four days
it was a couple
yeah I mean look
we got crazy
with the situation
your brother
is
maybe
Dinesh came out
Dinesh very much
treated it like a stag do I'll say that Dinesh came out. Dinesh very much treated it like a stag do.
I'll say that Dinesh was exemplary.
His stand-up was great.
Dinesh is, he likes chatting to people, doesn't he, Dinesh?
Yeah, I would say that if anybody was-
Dinesh is genuinely like somewhere between me and you.
Yeah, he's the wow.
He's got the same upbringing as me,
so that brings his owlish tendencies in,
except for the fact that he is like very gregarious,
outgoing and likes chatting.
Yeah.
What was it like?
Sort of seeing one of your own.
So it's bad with,
so on Saturday,
Saturday night,
we were in Mayo and dinner,
she got chatting to a guy at the bar and brought him over to our company.
The man's name was ******, right?
Just a quick note, JT, please bleep that out because...
No, he doesn't listen to podcasts.
No, he doesn't listen to podcasts.
Yeah, I mean, other people he might know might do.
Can I say he firmly told me he hates podcasts?
Sure, and that's even more reason to not name him
because suddenly he's getting named
or he's the opening convo in Tom's...
I assume you do bullet points
of what you're going to talk about on the podcast.
I don't prepare at all.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I've not done it.
No, he...
So he...
My razor-sharp wit has gone.
So he joins us, right?
I'd say that, you know,
he's a nice enough chap.
He was, you know,
conversational,
having a bit of bad luck.
Insists on buying a round for us.
Poor ****.
Because whenever we say something like this,
open up with a nice thing,
I know you're about to go in too far.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, but then he insists on buying a round,
which is incredible, right?
Yeah.
Very nice of him.
He's just joined our company
he goes around
halfway through
our pints of Guinness
he turns around
and says did anyone
detect the submarine
and we were like
what do you mean
and he dropped
shots of whiskey
in all of our
pints without
telling us
it was quite
brutal
I'm not going to
say that's brutal
it's not brutal
it's unacceptable, that.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
What was he, Zach Galifianakis?
What the fuck's going on?
Yeah, well, it meant two of the people in our company
were quite pissed off with him.
The two people who are me and Dinesh.
Me and Dinesh sort of found it quite amusing.
But then he started to, he got quite,
he had a passive aggressiveness about him, let's say that.
He, yeah, he became quite, he had a passive aggressiveness about him, let's say that. He became quite, shall we say, quite chippy with stuff.
And certainly, and then shouted at your brother in the middle of the bar
because your brother said the F word twice.
He shouted at him like a father shouted at his child,
looking quite an angry man.
He said, why don't you stop swearing?
It's disgusting
I'm no prude
but you swear all the time
really
and like
yeah
like it was pretty full on
it like
genuinely like
was like
like
man
don't spike people's drinks
with whiskey
if you
are worried about
maybe someone's sweat
it was insane
it's a weird
it's a weird place
to draw the line
I'd say your brother's
quite a gentle character
he's a lovely black bit he's quite a gentle character. He's a lovely bloke, but he's quite a, like...
Your brother was like, what's happened here?
It was quite shocking, I'd say.
I would say of the two crimes that you're looking at there,
spiking a drink versus...
Which one of those is the more disgusting?
I would say the oddest thing,
one of the oddest things I've ever seen in my life
is f***ing s*** as well.
I chatted to Dinesh at a bar
and then sent his family up to their room
and said that he would come and...
Because he was drinking with some friends he'd just made.
So his wife and his kids went up to the room
and he spent the rest of the night
pointing at any kids in the room saying,
they should be in bed now, it's disgusting.
Yeah, he was, yeah, there was an air to him.
He was quite a good company.
I found him quite amusing.
He was a landscape gardener.
So there's some sort of funny anecdotes about gardening.
I've got to be honest with you.
I don't want to be harsh.
But somebody that sort of spikes my drink
and starts demanding that children are sent upstairs
and packs his family off upstairs,
I don't care what your level of chat is after that.
You're out.
Yeah, I mean, look, he was,
when I look back now,
he was a bit of a piece of shit.
I mean, he had some funny,
he was dancing a lot.
There was an Irish band playing songs.
He sang along and he, yeah.
I do wonder if it's like a, you know,
sometimes I wonder about people's setups and stuff, right?
So, for example, if I was away,
say if I was away with Lisa and the kids, right,
and you're away as well or whatever,
and there's a few friends of ours,
and we sat down and had a few drinks
and Lisa was a bit tired and she says,
I'm going to bed with the kids.
She absolutely wouldn't demand or even request that I go to bed.
Yeah, but Ron, they're friends.
They're existing friends, right?
That's what I'm saying.
That's the point I'm making.
If I was away with Lisa and the kids and I bumped into some people,
just some random people, and then I said to Lisa,
you take yourself upstairs with the boys.
I've made myself.
I don't even know what her response would be.
Catherine's...
Catherine...
Catherine, I'll take Grace up to bed.
By the way, you'll need your own room
because you're not fucking going back to ours.
There's no way I'd even entertain it.
He basically came over and he went,
right, let me just get everything started
and then I'll be back to help and the funk can commence. and then he really started by the way he was i mean i'm
actually not paying him now i've not really talked about this but now i'm sort of talking about it
he's actually not probably i thought he was quite a fun character but then he started roasting martin
the tour manager about martin's jumper it was quite harsh as well considering he never met him
he was digging martin out quite a lot yeah Yeah. Do you understand why I think you should consider
whether you name people?
I've said his name now,
and JT, can you just beep it out every time, please?
Yeah, yeah.
So how did the night end?
Well, in the end,
I actually met two people who are Wolf and Owl fans
who had come to my show.
And after the shout and the dinnish
and quite aggressive sort of turn to events
there was two lovely people
there, I won't name them
they'll know who I'm talking about
and I
yet again we stumble
across Tom's bizarre rules
he will name somebody who was an absolute shit show
but two lovely people
I won't name them
because what? because one of them actually had quite
interested he had a very interesting job and i think he was like quite like actually i i he was
very one of the coolest people i've ever met i don't want to name him because there's a part
we think so he's actually an international spy he's very jones bond in his way he's like genuinely
i will say this i was like wow this is he's just had a coolness
about him
you know like someone
when they chew the arm
of their glasses like that
and look at you
and when you're talking
you're like
fucking hell that's cool
I don't think that's cool actually
because what's happening is
you're chewing the arm
of your glasses
that becomes moist
you then put that
behind your ear
it collects whatever
fucking debris
is behind your ear
and then later on
you'll chew the arm of the glasses again it's basically eating the back of your ear it collects whatever fucking debris is behind your ear and then later on you'll chew the arm
of the glasses again
it's basically eating
the back of your ear
gradually
it's disgusting
yeah but you vape
yeah but I don't
keep the vape
behind my ear
mate I have seen you
I don't store it
up my arsehole
okay
but you put it
in your pocket
and you've got
like fucking
you know
you don't sanitise
your hands all the time
so you've got all
like fucking
dead skin and stuff
in your pocket
why are you saying I don't sanitise my hands all the time so you've got all like fucking dead skin and stuff in your pocket why are you saying
I don't sanitise
my hands all the time
first of all
second of all
I have a specific
vape pocket
in which nothing
else is stored
in all of your
different coats
correct
because you're
mate you're like
Mr. Bedman
with all your coats
so
so what
you genuinely have
you have a vape pocket
in everything
correct have you had it sewn in like a vape pocket and everything correct
have you had it sewn in
like a vape pocket
no
you don't
mate he might be
he might clean his ears
every day
behind his ears every day
yeah
but by the way listen
can I be absolutely honest
I don't really have a problem
with it
I was just trying to be facetious
he was very cool
his wife was an absolute saint
they were
a joy
and then
yeah
and then there was like
a family who were there
and they were just singing in the bar it was actually kind of cool and then yeah and then there was like a family who were there and they were just singing
in the bar
it was actually kind of cool
and then
you know
bleep his name out
he
yeah
he went off to bed
I mean
he
he basically
sort of
I left after the shout
at Dinesh
and then
Martin left
and then
Dinesh
Dinesh was actually weird
he stuck it out
Dinesh
I do not believe
that for a second he did Dinesh was the weirdly he stuck it out Dinesh I do not believe that for a second
he did
Dinesh was the last one
to leave the table
are you joking
yeah
there was Big Boz
Big Boz
stayed there for a bit
and then
yeah
Dinesh
was the final one
to come over
Dinesh
he felt kind of bad
because the guy
his family had gone up to bed
and he was on his own
yeah
and he'd also
he'd also spiked
Dinesh's drink
and shouted at him
so the least he could do
was stay up with him
by the way
can I say
at that Mayo gig
one of the
this is amazing
we're backstage
me and Dinesh
by the way
I don't know if you've heard
like I was playing
I've got into playing
after the Super Bowl
I got kind of into NFL so I'm playing Madden 223 well I saw I saw Dinesh by the way I don't know if you've heard I was playing I've got into playing after the Super Bowl I got kind of into NFL
so I'm playing Madden
2-23
I saw Dinesh
Dinesh has got
a similar problem
that you have
of putting together
these fucking bizarre
Instagram stories
of like
summarising what's happened
it's one thing
to do that
if it's a series
of interesting things
watching you pose
for a photo
that was one of the clips
another clip was you backstage
fucking playing NFL
or whatever the hell you were doing.
I mean, it's...
I think he's actually got me doing my,
redoing my shoelaces and my trainers.
Yeah.
Well, that was one of the highlights, actually.
So, basically,
I was on like a six-game losing streak
with the Green Bay Packers,
which wasn't good. It was looking like I potentially... losing streak yeah with the Green Bay Packers which wasn't good
was looking like
I potentially
anyway
I then win this
incredible touchdown
in the last
bits of the game
then anyway
the woman who runs
the venue comes in
starts chatting away
we're in a bit of a chat
and then she leans in to me
and she says
I've got a question for you
about Ramesh
and I was like
okay is he really as coolamesh. And I was like, okay.
Is he really as cool as he seems?
And I was like, no, he's actually cooler.
And do you want your mind blown?
And she went, what?
I went, that's his brother.
And she lost her shit.
Are you serious?
She said, mate, I will tell you now,
like this woman was like,
like obsessed. She was like, he's an amazing person i love him so much
we all love him out here you've got to send him that love back which i thought was really nice
it's very sweet it's very it's a very uncynical thing to say that isn't that um and you know what
there was honesty in her eyes and every time your name was mentioned in that green room after that I could see her smiling
like it's really lovely
I don't know how much
of this to believe
to be honest with you
because you've got
people listening
won't be able to see this
but you've got one of those
little shit eating
grins on
no I've got a big smile
on my face
because I'm thinking
about her smiling
it's just as likely
that woman came in
and fucking went into
a 20 minute rant about what a piece of shit I was no mate mate mate I'm going to tell you. It's just as likely that woman came in and fucking went into a 20-minute rant
about what a piece of shit I was.
No, mate, mate, mate.
I'm going to tell you now.
If you ever meet this woman,
I reckon genuinely she'd put that...
Like, it's a very religious place,
that very Catholic area.
But I reckon for her,
you turning up there
would be like the second coming.
That's very sweet.
Thank you very much
if you listen to the podcast.
Yeah, weirdly, he doesn't listen to the podcast.
He didn't know we were as close of friends as we are.
Okay.
Well, that makes sense.
Almost family now because obviously, yeah.
Yeah.
How was it?
How were the gigs?
Oh, man.
Joyous.
Very joyous.
They were lovely.
Yeah.
They were a lot of fun.
I'd say the last one was pretty, man, you know, Sunday gigs, Sunday night gigs
are fucking hard,
aren't they?
Sunday gigs are tough,
but they are very tough.
The audience don't know that,
though,
that's what you've got to remember.
No,
no,
no,
but they are like,
they just feel,
like,
Thursday,
Friday,
Saturday,
they felt really pumped.
It was a nice,
lovely audience,
very friendly,
really nice,
but it's just,
it's just a different vibe.
On a Sunday,
it's like,
and also,
the venue had table like they
did that thing you
know when they put
tables in to make it
a bit more
cabaret seating
yeah for that
man
yeah and I was
just like that kind
I don't know I
I find it quite
difficult playing to
that
you should have
asked for a radio
mic and come around
the tables do you
know what I mean
just sort of done a
bit of crowd work
what's going on
over here then well weirdly because of the way it was set out a lot I mean just sort of done a bit of crowd work hey what's going on over here then
well
weirdly
because of the way
it was set out
a lot of people
did sort of
there was quite a lot of
a lot of people
would start conversations
in the gigs
yeah
in their gig
I don't know if you find that
Cabaret seating
sort of
second half
after everyone's
a little bit more oiled
there was a little bit
of like
you know
chat
I would say as well
you know
we were
coming down
after having
like these
sort of
turdy submarine
drinks
which were
pretty fucking
full on
but you had
a good time
it was great man
shout out Ireland
it was an absolute
I want to go longer
you're going soon
by the way
I won't name them
but the driver
looking after us
what a gentleman
what an absolute
gentleman
he's a legend
you know him
he's very very
fond of you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Your name.
I'll tell you what, man.
In Ireland, I reckon,
I reckon everyone I talk to about you loves you.
Okay.
And I always drop your name just to sort of like
let people know that I roll deep and I roll hard.
Yeah, you don't say those words afterwards, do you?
No, no.
I wear quite a lot.
I wore quite a lot of the merch out there,
which is weird if you don't know that we've got a podcast together
because I've got quite a few sort of Romesh T-shirts.
I think what's quite good about Wolf and Owl,
like you've got the cap on now,
that sounds like some swanky label.
If you don't know the podcast.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had a bit of a disaster while you were out drinking.
Well, it wasn't while you were out drinking, actually. So I just did a run of a I had a bit of a disaster while you were out drinking I had well it wasn't while you were out drinking actually
so I just did a run of 12 shows
which were all
yeah back to back
yeah which were all very good fun
it's great man
I loved it
I'm properly in the
touring groove
wow
you were really like
yeah
I could hear that in your voice
when I spoke to you on the phone
you were in the car
you were prattling about.
That's my favourite run, by the way, prattling.
You know, like when you're on the phone,
I've seen you do this and I was doing that.
You know when you're showing off?
You're just sort of in a good mood.
So you're going, so I got old Tom on the phone.
He's saying that he's going to do the show tonight, Gratz.
You were like a kid who just found out that if you hit a tambourine,
the little bells whistle as well.
You had that sort of vibe to you.
It's really cute, actually.
Yeah.
I've also got a...
Actually, I forgot to give a shout out to Jim,
the guy that drives me, but he's a friend of yours.
He came to pick me up the other day
to take me to a job.
And he bought me two apology pastries,
heart-shaped pastries.
He'd heard the podcast
and very worried that I'd been...
I mean, he was taking the piss, actually, I think.
But I still got two pastries out of it.
But were you...
Did you apologise about your lack of, you know, walking?
Because I saw that you were in Southend.
I said, oh, did you, Romesh, go for a walk down the front?
He said no.
Well, I had to go and do...
I was getting dropped off to do a tour show.
I wasn't getting dropped off for, like, a day round Portsmouth,
whatever the fuck it is you were doing.
I had to go in and soundcheck for my tour show.
Yeah, but then did you have no time to sort of hang out
and do something nice together?
No.
I mean, we got there at like 6.30.
Show starts at 8.
You get there at 6.30?
Yeah.
Fuck, man.
Jeez.
What time do you get there?
I'm usually at half five.
Half five?
I thought you were going to take the piss out of me
for getting there early.
No, no, no.
I get there early
so I can get a feel
of the place
what do you do
just like fucking
smell it out
give me an insight
to how many takes
of those fucking
walk around videos
you're doing
before they make it
to the internet
my lads
here I am
just so they know
doing a show tonight
going to be crazy.
All you good and lovely kid and kiff, look forward to seeing you there.
I'm Bosch.
Don't say Bosch at the end.
I can't do that anymore.
That's been taken.
Anyway.
Do you ever chat to Big...
Oh, sorry.
I was going to digress a little bit.
Big John.
I love Big John Bosch.
No, no.
Don't chat to him
oh mate he's a real
I really like the Fisher family
I really really like them
yeah I know you're a big fan
yeah because I think
you shared a thing as well
I just adore them
I just think they're
so positive in their way
they're just really good
heartfelt positive people
and I think there's
something about that
I really adore
yeah
yeah
it's nice
really sweet
oh I thought that was
going to be it.
That's the end of that.
No,
no,
no,
no.
Oh,
right.
No,
no,
sometimes you just like to say something nice.
Yeah,
sometimes you just got to give credit where credit's due.
I totally agree with you.
Totally agree with you.
You know what?
I'd love to meet you and him to go out for some food together.
That'd be amazing.
I know how that would go.
What would it be?
Because I've seen his videos.
We'll go to some,

i decided to go for a a long run right whoa so so i i had had a couple of drinks with
i'm going to call them the company because that's what you seem to be calling your group
so i did a couple of drinks don't fucking do that the car i've not called us up we're a fucking firm
Tom Tom
when you listen back
to this podcast
okay
and when you listen
to the story of
of
joining you
I want you to count
the number of times
you said company
because I reckon
rough estimate
five
I wasn't saying
that was our
I mean I'd like to
fucking take the credit
that was our gang name
but it's not
we're just known as the guys.
Well, that's not what you refer to yourself as.
You came and joined the company.
Then they just brought him over to the company.
That's what you're saying.
It's amazing that you've suddenly
180'd on this.
I'm now thinking about getting
underdog t-shirts with the company
written on the back.
That's a good idea.
That's a good idea.
It's quite cool, isn't it?
It's a great...
It's very cool.
Very, very cool.
Yeah, but then we... Because what we call is... We definitely sell better than Party Rom. I can tell you that's enough. back it's a good idea it's a good idea it's quite cool isn't it it's a great it's very cool very very cool because what
would be
cool
is
definitely
sell better
than
party rom
I can
tell you
that's
enough
I was
wearing it
by the way
can I say
the party rom
t-shirt is so
fucking cool
it's really got a
nice high neck
nice feel to it
yeah I've seen
this at Gregg's
when they try
and pump up
the chicken
and lamb curry
pasties because
they're not
flying off the
old shells mate I wore it the other day I had a few people sort of like yeah and people didn't the chicken and lamb curry pasties because they're not flying off the old shelves.
Mate, I wore it the other day.
I had a few people sort of like, yeah.
And people didn't know, but again,
there's no war for now.
Fuck it.
People just thought it was a Romesh T-shirt.
Anyhow, go ahead.
Go ahead.
I've digressed.
So I decided,
so I had a couple of drinks the night before.
The next morning,
I didn't really eat anything.
And then,
what did I have? I had something little.
Anyway, this is all giving context to the story.
So I decided I was going to run 20K, right?
So I leave the hotel, start jogging.
10K, no problem.
Having a great time, right?
Listening to a podcast, just enjoying life.
What podcast were you listening to?
I was actually listening to Alan Partridge from The Oast House.
Oh, yeah, okay.
There's one bit, actually.
It's very rarely this happens to me.
I was on the jogs, just started laughing at it, like cracking up.
Wow.
It was very funny.
Anyway, so...
You should have filmed that. It would have been good content.
It would have been, yeah.
Sadly, that will be left undocumented.
On a couple of occasions, I got kind of tooted out,
which was a bit embarrassing.
But anyway, I hadn't eaten anything,
and that proved to be my demise,
because at 14 and a half, 15 kilometres,
my legs just went, we're not doing any more running.
I just ran out of juice.
So, hold on, you're 14 kilometres away from base camp?
Yeah, about 14 and a half, 15 kilometres away, right?
So I stop and I think, this has never happened to me before,
I'm normally stopped by just being knackered.
So, like, breathing-wise, I feel like I could keep going,
do you know what I mean?
But every time I start running, my legs are just giving out.
So I think I'm going to walk for a little bit
I believe this is called the wall
and what I should have done was continued through it
but I didn't do that
I'm not a runner but you got smashed through the wall
yeah so I didn't do that
it was the first time I'd encountered
a mental obstacle
of this sort on a run
do you ever watch that fellow
what's his name? Goggins.
David Goggins.
Yeah, I did think of Goggins
when I was doing it.
Because what he would say to you,
doesn't he say,
it's the wall.
Fucking smash the wall, man.
Smash the wall.
Yeah.
Well, I would say it raised some concerns in me
in regards to my mental...
You know when people talk about sports people
just really pushing through?
Yeah, yeah.
I really am the opposite
of that
as soon as I encounter
the slightest bit of resistance
knock it on the head
anyway
yeah I'm not going to have that
because
you're running
fucking 14, 15k
yeah
that's incredible
to see where you've come from
yeah
you weren't getting
anywhere near that
kind of fucking
like kilometre
I was going to say mileage
but you weren't able to fucking run,
what,
that's 12 miles?
Yeah,
yeah,
no,
you're right,
you're right.
That's fucking insane.
So,
but anyway.
Hey,
hey,
hey,
hey,
hey,
hey,
hey.
I want you to take your left hand now,
put it over your right shoulder,
and just give yourself a pat on the back,
because bro,
you fucking deserve that one,
man.
That's fucking sick.
Thanks,
Let's not,
let,
let,
let not us be judged by the mountains that we climb but the hills that we climb every
day okay all right well good start to that uh but then i uh i tried to well then i looked on my phone
which was rapidly running out of battery i wasn't i was sort of very much on the outskirts of
ipswich i looked it said an hour and a half to walk home,
back to the hotel.
So I was like, okay.
So I carried on walking for a little bit
and then I was like,
I intended to be out for like two hours
and now it's looking like three and a half, four,
which is not ideal.
Yeah, it's a big part of the day.
So I tried to book an Uber,
which is embarrassing, wasn't it?
Tried to book an Uber and I just thought I'm't it tried to book an uber and i just thought
i'm gonna have to explain why i'm in full running gear when this guy picks me up yeah anyway the uber
did this weird thing where the i don't know if it's like the driver's being noticed so it said
found a driver but then that guy was taking ages to confirm or whatever so yeah i hate that that's
why i never use uber so it just it just sat in like a stasis for ages.
So I cancelled that.
And I walked.
I contemplated going into Greg's,
but I didn't have my wallet with me.
I suppose I could have used my phone,
but then I got nervous.
I don't know what I got nervous about.
I got nervous about going into Greg's.
So then I just walked.
Can I just say,
shout out to Greg's,
because that is one place you could go in.
Say to them,
look, guys, I came out here intentionally to do two that is one place you could go in say to them look guys
I came out here
intentionally
during two hours
after some 40k
smashed that
I've got to walk home
I guarantee someone
there would have gone
hey fucking jump in
I've got you
out the side
we'll fucking
drink you back
yeah I'm sure
they would have done
even if you'd had to
get in the back
of a pickup truck
right
but
what I'm saying man
is Greg's is a fucking,
it's a bit like the bar of cheers.
Everyone there would be like, you'd be celebrated.
I'll guarantee you they've got some fucking yum-yums brought for you.
Yeah, no, honestly, I am fully behind commending places
on a hypothetical situation that hasn't happened,
and that never would happen.
But yeah, cool, big up, Gre gregs for tom imagining that you would put
me in a truck and give me some yum yums and take me back to the hotel yeah shout out gregs
fucking hell anyway so i start walking back to the hotel and i i've got to be honest with you
by the time i get to the end of this walk i'm feeling very sorry for myself i feel like i lost
up in a right little situation but so i so I get to... Any friction burn?
No friction burn, no.
But I get to... Can I, sorry, I know I'm interjecting quite a lot.
Are you wearing like those cycling shorts under your shorts?
Can I just say, because I went to see Lisa McGrillis in her play last night.
And I didn't tell her this story, but I told her that I'd started going running.
And she asked me what I'd been wearing.
Anyway, I thought this was all right to wear running,
and I think I've mentioned it to you before,
but she told me it's one of the biggest icks that could ever be icked.
Right.
And that is a pair of shorts over a pair of sort of leggings.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, the reason you've got reluctant there is because I can tell what's
happened is you want to go in two-footed on me but you know where you know you know that you
wear that as well don't you avoid it before you but I don't go running up my knees right I've
made I'd love to I love nothing more to have a story about me busting that 40k run I can't
man I can't run my knees are I'm a walker now. That's what I have to do.
But there's nothing wrong with walking.
Walking's great.
It's a great, it's good.
It's really good.
So, listen, look, are you walking regularly?
Yeah, me and Dennis, we're going to go.
Yeah, all right.
I'm going to take that left hand of yours
and reach over your right shoulder,
give yourself a pat.
There you go.
Well done, my guy.
Anyway, I get back to the hotel
and honestly, when I see the signs for the hotel,
it's like I'm acting like I've crossed a desert to get there.
This is my first civilization.
You've crossed a desert in your mind.
Sure.
Oh, mate, I'll tell you the other thing that happened.
As I'm walking up to maybe five minutes from the hotel,
so I'm starting to get a bit buzzy now.
Do you know what I mean?
The end is in sight. This fucking two guys come running past me right like sprinting and this
geese just behind him going i'm gonna fucking rip your head off you fucking wanker like i i honestly
man like i actually started to feel panic i didn't you know one of these things where you sort of
think do i need to intervene here basically this guy was chasing this guy
to beat the shit out of him
and they sort of
went past me
what time is this
mate this is like
midday
but like
yeah I've got a story
actually
a wild thing
that I'd
this is a
this is a midday
did you need the time
to remind you of the story
yeah well no
just what you're saying
so
yeah
but the guy
so finish your story then I'll do mine well that's pretty much the end of the story. Yeah, well, no, it's just what you're saying. Yeah. So finish your story
and then I'll do mine.
Well, that's pretty much it.
Thankfully,
I started to think
maybe I need to get involved here.
But then the guy
that was saying
he was going to rip his head off
thankfully ran out of steam.
So he just sort of dropped out
and walked off
in the other direction.
Yeah, but that could also
be a bad thing
because the guy
who was getting chased
could have done something heinous
that's true
oh god
maybe I should
have got involved
yeah but then
you've just
fucking bagged
out 40k of a
run and then
what 40k of a
walk
yeah but you
can't not get
involved
I mean
can I be honest
I made a
judgement call
the geezer chasing
looked a lot
rougher than the
geezer that was running away
but you know
that's a
it's a damning
endowment of society
you shouldn't judge
people on appearances
don't judge a book
by its cover
yeah
so I'm ashamed
I say get involved
I don't know
that guy getting chased
could have slept
with the other guy's wife
exactly right
yeah
you're right
you're right
but I still don't
even if he had done that,
I still would have had, I mean,
it's worth getting involved to stop that guy doing anything
because, you know.
If you look at it, right,
if you look at it and you saw Tom Hardy chasing Kevin Spacey,
you probably think Kevin Spacey looks a nicer guy.
Yeah, sure.
I still don't think Tom Hardy should be kicking the shit out of Kevin Spacey,
though, to be honest. No, I don't think he should be kicking the shit out of Kevin Spacey though no I don't think
he should be
kicking the shit
but I'm saying
if you make it
the judgment corner
on appearance
you go
oh shit Tom Hardy
to be fair to me
we go much deeper
into it
than we need to
the guy was getting
chased
I saw it
I thought shit
what's going to happen
and then the guy
stopped chasing him
and then walked away
now suddenly
apparently I'm fucking
an advocate of
Kevin Spacey's
sexual misdemeanors I don't know who made that walk i'm just saying it's a longer
walk than i had to do back from the running it switch this anyway so after that where i'd
ignored a crime or whatever and i need to think about that later on, I guess.
Speaking of later on, anyways, we'll talk about that in a minute.
I got back to the hotel, mate.
I went back to the hotel so delighted that I'd got back,
as if I'd been gone missing for a while.
I then ordered a foot-long Subway,
three double chocolate cookies,
a Coke Zero,
and I fucking inhaled them.
It was disgusting.
Mate, that's...
When you run right,
you can pretty much eat what you want.
You're supposed to, like, refuel.
I mean, I needed to refuel.
Listen to this like I'm an athlete.
I needed to eat something.
You've done 28K.
You really are bigging up the accomplishment there.
No, no, you did 14K there,
and then you did 14K back there.
No, but I was going in a loop,
so I only had like 6 or 7K to come back.
Oh, okay, okay.
But I...
Well, still, it's 20K.
Fuck it, mate.
Yeah.
You've got to take credit where it's due.
Yeah, no, thank you.
Thanks for the credit.
But I do think you are...
I had not eaten anything that morning,
so it's probably a good idea to eat something.
Just quickly on the... Go on, idea to eat something but what's the mistake
go on
I said the mistake, I might say something really boring
which is the mistake people make is thinking that
forever allows you to eat what you want
which it doesn't and it's a mistake that a lot of people make
there's refueling and then there's
overfueling
so just be careful
So just be careful.

Yeah.

Yeah, so talking about that, so me and your brother were in Belfast.
Get up on on what was it
what's it been
Sunday morning
and we're like
let's go for a little walk
before breakfast
so I tried to do
like a four or five mile walk
and
we basically
sort of just start walking
just chatting away
we end up
walking into what
sort of now
was a bit of city
it's quite a rough area
yeah
as we're strolling down the street
these two
guys come walking towards us who look like they probably just sort of getting off a bit of a
session right as we're walking towards them i can see them caught me in dennish and they start
talking and their talk is quite you know they're screwing us a bit and as they come towards me
dennish one of them raises up his shirt to show us that he's got something in his belt right um which you
know glim didn't know sort of like morning sun but i couldn't really see what it was exactly
uh and he went you're a big fella you're a dad you're a big fella and i was like yeah you know
we're good we're right and then they just stood there for a second staring at us and me and dinner
sort of were like yep good and sort of walked on and sort of like ruined the last mile of the walk
because we were absolutely piping our pants
that we were about to get fucking ironed out by.
Either they were going to follow us back to the hotel
and set about us there
or they were running back to get some mates
to say that we're on their turf.
It was quite a fucking terrifying moment.
You know, like,
and then showing what the level of pussies me and Dinesh are
that sort of took
the rest of the day
with us
sort of
hypothesising about
what could have happened
and then when we told
the guy who drives us
out there
he said
where were you
and we told him
we sort of explained
to him where we were
and he was like
nah
you should not have
fucking been working
around there
at any time
and I was like
well it's like
it was like 8am
or 9am in the morning.
He was like, at any fucking time you can go there.
It was like, oh, okay.
Have I told you the story about, you know, when I was like,
when I was growing up, I don't know if I've told this story,
that's why I got hesitant.
I once like, I was about 15, 16, right?
And there was a mate of mine.
This is like on the estate.
There's a mate of mine that had like some beef with some guy right so he said to me do you ever have this where your mate's asked you to go back him
up in some situation oh my god yeah yeah yeah so so my mate goes to me there's this guy that's like
i can't remember what happened he had some it doesn't matter what the story is but anyway he
just said i need to go around his house and this guy's like i've got a real problem with this guy
and he's giving me some shit so we're walking through like walking through we see the guy and then my mate starts like
going off at him right like starts having a go at him and he starts giving it some back
and then my mate fucking pulls his shirt up i didn't know this at the time like you know
i've always been like this right which is like not really wanting any trouble, right?
So my mate pulls up his shirt
and he's got some sort of tool,
like a bar or something in his trousers.
Pulls it out, starts going at this guy.
The guy starts running away.
My mate starts chasing him.
I'm just like, what the fuck?
This has got way out of hand.
And the guy's going, come on, come on.
He's sort of shouting but running away, like follow me, follow me or whatever. Don't think anything of it. what the fuck this is like got way out of hand and the guy's going come on come on like he's
sort of shouting but running away like follow me follow me or whatever don't think anything
of the guy runs off and my mate's going me thanks a lot for doing that it's very kind of you and i
just think it's just the two of you it's just the two of us yeah just go fucking hell anyway five
minutes later we're walking down the road a car pulls up four guys get out with this guy right they're all carrying golf
clubs right so they come over to us with golf clubs i look we're trapped right and they're
just going fucking come on come running over to us and i'm like okay i'm about to get the shit
kicked at me with golf club like you know there's no way out of this right this is mental so like
the guy runs up one of the guys runs up and he comes to swing for
me and i'm just like i'm bracing myself to get fucking covered by a golf club now yeah raises
his thing and then he just goes romesh and i go yeah he goes fucking romesh it's like it starts
like and i knew him right like i just happened to know him turns to the guy and he goes oh mate
he's a he's a good bloke i can't i'm not i'm not gonna beat him up like that like we can't and then it all just fucking diffused from that
and i'm just like do you know what's beautiful right is that you and how what a lovely man you
are and what a good spirited person you are is basically saves your mate from getting a kick in
that's why the penny is my in the sword mate i genuinely i i you know when people say you just
have this moment where you just close your eyes and accept your fate that is what happened to me
that is the closest i've come to like i'm just gonna get the fucking shit kicked out of me here
let's just deal with it do you know what i mean it was so horrible man i mean the relief i felt
was insane i was saying to dinner dennis was like because I was quite shaken by the whole thing
and Dennis
was actually very
and he was so white
because I was like
I've been in this
situation
walked about
fucking
10 minutes away
thinking it's all over
and then got attacked
from behind
on a number of
occasions
like those
you know
those sorts of things
have happened
I mean listen
I've told a happy story there
but I mean I could equally tell four or five stories
where they didn't recognise me.
And it wasn't sort of lost on me
that we're in quite a sort of rough area.
And, you know, being a guy of six foot seven
and an Asian guy was probably not what,
it felt like maybe this might be a bit of a badge of honour
for a certain sort of like group of people
who were staring at us at that point.
So yeah, it all felt quite aggressive.
Yeah.
That was the only time in Ireland that, you know,
and to be fair, actually,
he might have just been shown his knife
just because he was excited to show someone
and, you know, he didn't think he was being aggressive.
Yeah, maybe he was into crafts.
Yeah.
And actually...
I thought like
is it wickering
no it's
whittling
whittling
yeah whittling
some bark or some shit
yeah you had a good
you had a good
time in Ireland
despite your drink
being spiked
and somebody showing you
a shank
but apart from that
great times yeah
yeah it was good
to be fair
spiking a drink
I actually quite enjoyed
but yeah
I wouldn't recommend it.
How did you turn up the thing on your Mac where it's like I've just got John Handler's birthday.
I don't even know who John Handler is.
Yeah, what are you asking? Why you've got John Handler's birthday?
Why is it coming up? He's probably sure i've met somewhere on facebook and now
yeah well that's what happens when you just add people randomly i mean and tell everyone you meet
they're the coolest person you've ever met in your life hey hey that was someone talking about you
brother no well i think you mentioned today you met james bond didn't you yeah he was called james
no no but like through people who we can find out on this episode
are absolutely
epically cool
you are fucking
dominating my son
thanks mate
that's really kind of you
yeah
okay
should we do one email
Tom
and then wrap up
let's do an email
we should probably
do an email special
actually this week
well we are going to
have to do an email special
because I've just looked
at the emails
that the
delightful Swan
has selected and they're all film ideas so we're going to have to do an email special because I've just looked at the emails that the delightful Swan has selected.
And they're all film ideas.
So we're going to have to do a film special.
Oh, by the way, someone sent me a trailer of...
They've made an animated trailer.
Yeah, I've seen that as well.
I don't know how we...
Should we put it up?
The person that sent that,
are we allowed to put it on our Instagram?
Because it's pretty mad.
It's pretty epic.
It's pretty cool
okay
go for an email
this is from
the gangly
geranook
what the hell
is that
I don't know
what that is
dear wolf
owl swan
no dear wolf
owl cat
majestic swan
collective brood
thank you for the
podcast
I end up
listening to so
many others
while I wait
for the next
wolf and owl
to drop
but they are
the filler
to your killer
oh that's
lovely
the idea that there's something that's owl to drop, but they are the filler to your killer. Oh, that's lovely.
The idea that there's something that's filler to this,
which I believe is pure filler.
Hearing you talk about your sleepover idea,
I became obsessed with the idea that you should do celebrity goggle box together.
You have to do it at the wolf's house so the owl finally gets to visit.
The only obstacle might be the owl is on most shows,
so they might struggle to find something for you to watch.
Winky face emoji.
Oh, wow, wow wow my question is
if you could
my question is
if you could do
Gogglebox
with any celebrity
other than your BFF
who would you choose
look I want to be
honest with you
I think
and this is
I'm going to be
completely honest
I think I'd only ever
do it if I could
do it with you
if I'm honest
that would probably
be the only person if not you probably Thierry Henry okay I would only ever do it if I could do it with you. If I'm honest. That would probably be the only person.
If not you, probably Thierry Henry.
Okay.
I would rather you did it with Thierry Henry than me, to be honest with you.
I mean, that's much better.
Yeah.
It's loads better.
Are you joking?
You'd have a better experience.
It would get more viewers.
You and Thierry are actually quite alike in a lot of ways, actually, as people.
In terms of what?
Just sort of electric pace?
Being seen as legends of the game?
No, actually, as you are. I think you're both quite deep guys.
You're very caring people. You're nice people.
You've got a really good heart.
I'm going to say this now.
The ongoing situation where I haven't met Thierry Henry
is starting to upset me, to be honest with you.
And listen, nobody has a God-given right to meet anybody, so I'm not saying it's my right to me to be honest with you and listen nobody has a God given right
to meet anybody
so I'm not saying
it's my right
to meet Thierry Henry
I just
I used to wear a t-shirt
with all the
I used to wear it out
a t-shirt with his head on it
and it just says
Je t'aime Henri
I mean that's
how much
I will say
he's one of the nicest people
I've ever chatted to
alright alright he's such a good guy I know you've's one of the nicest people I've ever chatted to. Okay, all right.
He's such a good guy.
I know you've become sort of buddies.
Well, yeah.
Have you ever mentioned me to him?
Yeah, sort of in passing, yeah.
I sort of say, oh, yeah, there's this guy actually quite funny called Romesh.
I do a podcast with him.
Yeah.
He said, oh, you know, you like podcasts.
I was like, yeah, I do want to.
I've actually got a video that he made for, we made together for my tour,
but I've not put it out yet because I sort of worry that it's,
like, you know, when to put it out.
He's a cool guy.
I like him a lot.
Okay.
But it's the same thing.
You've met loads of people I really think are cool.
You've met so many cool people.
Like who?
Who's the man that you really want to meet?
Who?
Prince William.
I'll actually shout out someone else by the way
Dermot Kennedy came to
the show of Dublin
and was lovely
what a guy
his new song is
insane
bruv
yeah
it's insane
I find musical talent
I find it so difficult
to
I think
musical talent and footballers
I just feel like
I can't even
fathom what it's like to be that talented
he's incredibly
great company as well, what a good guy
but yeah I think you'd like to hear me
if you get to meet him
we should try and organise it
yeah
it could be a surprise thing where you come out
and surprise him
what
I don't think
I think in that scenario
he comes out
and surprises me
why
Thierry Henry
oh here's somebody
you've got no fucking idea
who it is
surprise
no
I don't think that's the way
yeah but you know
like you do that
quite gregarious thing
sometimes
like if I'm sitting there
like me and him
are sitting there having a coffee or like an espresso or Like, if I'm sitting there, like, me and him are sitting there
having a coffee or, like, an espresso or whatever and chatting,
and I'll go, oh, you're joking me.
Fucking hell, I told him I was here.
He's only turned up.
And then you come walking over and go, hello, guys.
Yeah, are you all right?
And I'm like, oh, this is my really dear friend, Thierry.
Thierry, this is my other really good friend, Romesh.
He's like, hello, Romesh.
And you're like, like oh can I sit down
have one of those nice coffees you've got
I'm like of course you can
Thierry's like oh is he going to stay
I'm like yeah I've organised this
as a treat for everyone
here's my issues
with that little hypothetical
first of all
if you were meeting up Thierry and Rui
the idea that I would even be given a sniff of what the location is is a fantasy right that's the first thing the second thing is
the idea that i'd be gregarious in that situation what i would go as far as your t-shirt you could
wear your t-shirt i would go as far as to say that if i happen to be in a cafe that you and
thierry on route well just by coincidence just imagine I probably wouldn't approach you I'd probably just
mate I don't know
hey Rob
Rob
mate
Robbie
that's the other thing
the idea that you would
go sit down and join us
that's the other fantasy
in this fantasy
mate I would
come on
what we're going to
just go on
see you in a bit
I'll tell you what
would happen
I'd come over
and I'd go
hi Tom
oh my god
you're sat with Thierry Henry
one of my heroes
and we'd go sorry sorry mate you alright but Tom and I go, hi Tom, oh my God, you're sat in a chair with me, one of my heroes.
And we go,
sorry,
sorry mate,
you alright?
But Tom,
Tom,
it's me.
And we go,
it's me,
Jonathan.
Yeah,
we did, we did House of Fools
together,
didn't we?
And Judge Romesh,
you're forgetting about Judge Romesh,
not to mention the fact
we regularly do a punk.
Oh yeah,
I do do that little thing
Cherry sorry mate
this is
it's Romesh isn't it
yeah this is Romesh
this is Cherry
I think you both know
that the affection
I have for you
I would literally
pick you up
and I'd turn around
and say Cherry
this guy is your
biggest fucking fan
he used to go to
nightclubs
with a picture of you
on his t-shirt
he'd go oh
man this is a cool
guy I love it when I
I love nothing more
than being a bridge
between two amazing
people do you know
what's so funny is
like I know you said
it was a joke but I
did used to go to
nightclubs with that
t-shirt on and like
of course you did
often people wouldn't
know what it was and
so like somebody goes
to me what is that
what is that t-shirt
that's a cool t-shirt
and I go oh it's my it's that what is that t-shirt that's a cool t-shirt and I go
oh it's my
it's my favourite player
for Arsenal
and then
that's when
the light would go
from their eyes
and they'd realise
that they were talking
to somebody
that they didn't want
to talk to
do you know what I mean
right
so I think
I'm doing
I'm doing Gogglebox
with Thierry Henry
yeah
who are you doing it with
it's a great question
um
you know it would be quite
fun to see you
and Ronnie O'Sullivan
doing it together.
I don't want to,
I'll never do
anything with
Ronnie O'Sullivan.
He was very harsh
about the K2
Leisure Centre
in Crawley.
And unfortunately,
you know,
as great a player
as I think he is
and as funny
as he's nice,
the guy,
you know,
he really went
into it.
He goes for
anxiety and stuff. And yeah, he's actually quite, he's got a guy you know he's he really went in he goes for anxiety
and stuff
and yeah he's actually
quite he's got a very
sweet soul to him as well
yeah
well so do the people
that work
so do the people
that work at K2 Leisure Centre
go on
I do it to you on Ray
because that's quite
a fun dynamic
you and Gary Neville
that'll be funny
that'll be cool
like you and Gav oh you know what
I love Line of Duty
don't you Gav
oh yeah Rob
it's great
yeah
okay
I think I'll probably
only do it with you
the thing about
the celebrity goggle box
the
the Gaggenuck or whatever it is,
this creature it's written in,
thank you for your email,
is that they never do it at anyone's house for real,
do they?
No, no, no.
So you still wouldn't see Tom's house.
They're pretending it's there.
When they did the celebrity ones,
it's a set, isn't it?
Is it a set or is it someone's house they've hired?
It's their hire at Airbnb, I think,
I've put them up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Tom wouldn't agree to it. I think we haven't it is it a set or is it someone's house they've hired it's their hire at Airbnb I think yeah
so
Tom
it is weird
that neither
of us have
been asked
and I look at
nearly everyone
of our
contemporaries
have been asked
and have done it
yeah
I don't think
I would do it
to be honest
but if you
want to do it
together we can
do
well I'll see if
Thierry wants to do it
if not
I'm not convinced
I could be that interesting
about watching TV
do you know what I mean
but
you'd be great
having said that
oh you know what
you know what
we can fuck it
well it's me and Thierry
doing it
and then we pretend
that you're coming around
to my house
to drop off something
like your Xbox
or something
because I've won it in a bet
so you like ring on the doorbell
and it's like
oh fucking hell
we're halfway through
Traitors and Thierry's like you oh, fucking hell, we're halfway through.
Traitors.
And Thierry's like,
oh, you better get that.
They've had an unexpected visitor.
And then Ivan goes,
hello, Tom.
Rommish Ranganathan's at the door.
I've got that PlayStation 5 that you brought on Facebook Marketplace.
And then you come in with it.
And then Thierry's like,
hello, bonjour, hello.
Are you okay?
And you're like,
oh, yeah,
what are you watching here then?
And you could have your Thierry T-shirt on and a pair of joggers.
Yeah.
And then it cuts away to some other celeb couples.
Then it comes back, Ramesh still hasn't left.
And then it cuts to us.
I'm sort of talking, you two are in silence, just, like, grumpy,
like a couple that have been cock-blocked.
I'm really furious that I'm there.
like a couple that have been cock-blocked.
Utterly furious that I'm there.
Right, Tom, do you want to do some... Let's sum it up, yeah.
It's been an all right office episode, hasn't it?
I've enjoyed it, man.
I've enjoyed it.
It's been like relinquishing an old beast.
A real insult to the office to mention that word.
Here we go.
Yo, journeys, travels, new horizons,
old friends, new friends, new places, all places.
Truth about the world is it's smaller than we think,
but it can be massive at times.
It can be intimidating.
So what I want you to do today
is think about somewhere you want to go.
And I'm not talking about a different country,
nay, and even a different county,
nay, even a different territory.
I'm talking about going to a park that you've never been before, or a cafe to get your cappuccino
that you've never been before. I'm talking about building those horizons and moments and just
saying, yeah, I did something new today, and it felt good. It made me feel alive. Sometimes that
can be a run for 40 kilometers, and then thinking, I've got the minerals to go on, but walking and knowing that you completed something massive.
Every day is about horizons. Every day is about challenges. Never back down from a challenge, no matter how small.
For example, yesterday I had a turmeric tea for the first time. Was I nervous? Yes. Did I enjoy it even more than the nerves i broke new foundations i broke
new horizons and you know what tumit tea thank you for making me feel alive that's really nice
really really nice well done how was it actually it was really enjoyable actually i mean i've been
really fucking putting it off but actually really enjoying it man and you know what's even more
exciting this is probably why I start feeling a bit dizzy
I'm seeing you in person today
oh
it's
I cannot wait
I cannot
wait
I'm all
as soon as we get off this
I'm not meeting you
for about six seven hours
but I'm still
going to start getting ready
as soon as I jump off this
I need to get
make myself look great
for my guy
mate you always look good
so bro thanks yeah I shall see you I shall be you and I should hold you I'll jump off this. I need to make myself look great for my guy. Mate, you always look good. So, bro.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I shall see you.
I shall be you.
And I should hold you.
Tom, have you heard the new Beyonce song?
No, I haven't.
But you about to drop it?
We're about to drop it.
It's country and western, Tom.
It's Beyonce like you've never heard her before.
It's called Texas Hold'em.
It's an absolute banger.
And I think it's a perfect combination.
Tom Davis loves Beyonce.
Tom Davis loves country and western.
They've come together.
Texas Hold'em, guys, thank you so much for listening.
We'll see you next time.
Boom.
Hopefully for the bonus.
