23:54Romesh Ranganathan:do you know what the worst thing was then i've started going i don't know if you did it's like going well i'm gonna have to order a new card they're not going to get it out to america so i'm gonna have to wait till we get home you're gonna have to i'm gonna have to transfer money to your account it's just in my bag it's just in my back yeah first have you just have a look in your bag but honestly honestly babe have a look in your bag before you you completely implode you know what's worse than the implosion is the rush of adrenaline and euphoria i got when i'd found it so then that's even more of a nick where you go god bloody hell it was just in my bag god sorry lee so thank you so much for seeing me that's cool i just think i think we need a bit of perspective and the tears i think i think you've got i think you've got a bit of a magic touch like you just you knew it was in my bag and you said it was in my bag and i didn't believe you but it was if i could say one thing darling before before this happens again it's just the tears and the shouting the spitting just felt unnecessary uh would you yeah and just going katherine has a go at me i do this thing i go from one to a thousand emotionally i'm wrecked and then then i find the thing or the thing's resolved within minutes because it's not a big thing and then i'm like oh and i'm relaxed and i like i've won the world cup and gathan's like what yeah why are you like that that was such an unnecessarily yeah even grace now just raises her eyebrows when i'm like that yeah lisa just said to me after she goes um i'm glad you got your card and um i think we're have to wait for your next birthday before we you know do anything yeah yeah yeah oh hello who have you got here oh wow is that is that a cleaner yeah it was just a nan a wholesome she looked like a wholesome american nan no i can't say anything i can't comment right now yeah and what's by the way can i say that all of the people there none of them are smart they would know but it isn't it is magical though yeah no it's magical but no one looks like having a good time if i was to like Pick the thing.

25:45I mean, you're having a great time. But everyone else there. By the way, can I send the football shirt thing? Yeah. Number one Arsenal football shirt, so you're in a good place to be a festival. And I quite like the new West Ham shirt. They were very good enough to me to send for my work that I did with them. They were like, we're going to send you the new home shirt. They sent me the new home shirt, but have printed just my name on the back. No number, which name and number anyway. So it just says Davis on the back. like I don't think I think there's an age limit to having a name a number on it would certainly own name on the back of a football shirt do you know what I mean having like you know potentially you can have if you'd like a player enough you haven't you know but to have your just your name

26:26Romesh Ranganathan:I think if it's got your name out doesn't that stop you like from you doesn't it stop you from wearing it out of course I won't be able to unless I've got a jacket over it no I won't be able to wear that around the house well wear that around the house look can I just say by the way Catherine who quite likes football has like she's not into the she doesn't mind the older west ham shirts like some of the sort of like this one's not bad but babo it's quite a nice shirt but now i've got my name on the back if i wear that around the house she's literally just like oh god um i am i had an unfortunate thing where one of the shirts i brought out was a basketball shirt from when we did one ronish versus right and then i'm sleeveless yeah which was a big move for me it was like i I felt like I was wearing a wonder bra.

27:09Romesh Ranganathan:Not in that way, but I just mean like I felt exposed. Did you feel sexy? I felt like I was wearing my underwear. No. That's what a wonder bra does, I think. It makes you feel quite sexy. Yes, yeah. Actually, to be honest with you, yes, I think what you're highlighting here is that wonder bra was a terrible example to use in this instance. But what I mean was that? I'd say you're wearing a miniskirt, but you, yeah. But you're not sure. But what? Okay. Well, you're wearing a miniskirt to a funeral. Yeah, basically. You're not sure about it. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. What made it worse was that as I arrived at the park, it was pointed out to me that it had romesh across the back of it

27:43i actually made a fuss jesus oh my god

27:50Romesh Ranganathan:also but can i just say not even not ranger nathan not ranger romesh that's what that's what that's what kids have on there that's what kids would have on their back before that yeah if you didn't know me you go that's somebody that wants to get recognized at disney his first name across the back of his shirt or it's uh oh god that that guy came here a couple of years ago and he lost his bank bank card for like six hours and had a complete breakdown yeah he actually made his children and wife cry not were they what were they worried about the bank card no they were just embarrassed that he was related to them humiliated i mean actually arguably this is more humiliating how do you have to wear it the whole day what am i going to do well i could have bought a disney t-shirt i suppose you put a disney t-shirt look cool you get you're not what a disney i think you can you could pull off a cool dis with your with the glasses nice cap cool pair of your board shorts um by the way i've got some nice board shorts now they're quite in um and a pair of like trainers that's the end of you suggesting i'm wearing board shorts and if they're actually in look how the tables have turned no but no but like why are you buying stuff that's in can I just ask you that question when you buy stuff you like all this time you've been rinsing me for board shorts now you've been told they're in you've decided you're going to buy some board shorts I'm still wearing a very high cut thing that I can show off my long legs

29:22Romesh Ranganathan:anyway I was about to get into a lift the other day First of all, I keep getting Arsenal banter. And also the boys love wearing Arsenal shirts. I think he's legitimate if you're a kid. So anyway, I'm getting the snacks. I've managed to, I've got my bank card, so I've not had a panic or got into a little tizz. The guy goes to me after you. And then I get in, and he looks at me and he goes, I'll tell you what, wouldn't I let you get in the lift first if I'd have known you're an Arsenal fan? I thought, oh God. And then I go, okay, who's your team? Are you Spurs? and he goes, no, a team that's a little bit of a problem for you, mate, Liverpool.

29:59Romesh Ranganathan:And I go, okay. I didn't want to go, it's not really a problem for me because I'm not actually, I don't play for Arsenal or have any sort of skin in the game. But, yeah, okay. And I keep getting that from like, and then, and then, Arsenal went away for some, I don't know why, but Arsenal become really popular. They're hated. It's a relatively recent thing and I don't want to like pin any blame on anybody, but if I was to, Arsenal fan TV, I don't think it's helped. Do you know what I mean? It was funnier when you were doing badly. I'm not talking about Arsenal fan TV as in the actual Arsenal. I'm not talking about them necessarily.

30:34Romesh Ranganathan:I'm talking about the doorstepping of fans after the game when they're highly emotional. It's just a bit like... It just makes us look... I just don't want to hear... A bit muggy. A bit muggy. I just think like... Also, there's a resentment because you're getting all the sickest... Even like, look, Liverpool, fucking amazing clubs, City, whatever. You are, every season, getting all the fucking loungewear, the looks you're getting. Even for a team, at the moment, on face value, isn't winning anything. You've got, every year, the best shirts. I mean, you've got, that's an Ian Wright limited edition.

31:11You're not getting that in the other club at the moment.

31:13Romesh Ranganathan:No, but what I would say is that I don't think that a club should be celebrated for the shirts they've got. Even if it's just a game, though. If you're saying to me it's a form of consolation, the gear's good but the point is is that I I personally think right Liverpool are going to win the league next year right I think it's almost certain untouchable right but I just feel like sometimes fans can sound a bit spoiled if you like for example if I take you for example if you're a West Ham fan and you watch Arsenal fans bleating on about what a crisis we're in you must just be thinking are you joking do you know what I mean and like I just feel like coming second don't get me wrong I know we've become a banter club for bottling it or whatever, but I can't believe I said those words.

31:56Romesh Ranganathan:I know we've become a banter club. But the thing is, it's great to be... I think we're in a great place. It's good to be challenging for the league. We like getting good players. By the way, can I say at a moment, you're very much sounding like a guy who thinks his wife's going to leave him. He's trying to reassure himself. Let me tell you something. There's good reason for that. But what I'm saying is, I'm not actually that aggrieved with her. I've actually been quite happy for it. Neither should you be, but can I also say... But that's what I'm saying. What I'm saying is... I hate going into football stuff on here because it's not a football podcast.

32:27Maybe we should do a spin-off. We should do a spin-off. No, that's not...

32:30Romesh Ranganathan:Yeah, because we can bet... Look, I'm in a lounge at the Disney Hotel just to make up this hour requirement that we have every week. You want to do an extra spin-off. Are you mad? Anyway, go on. I think... But I think... And you're not the latest. I think Chelsea are going to be a very tidy package this year. I think so too. I think... I think City have brought well... I think... City look unbelievable, Liverpool look unbelievable, Chelsea look unbelievable. There's a very real possibility. I mean, I think Kudis is a great signing, by the way, for Tottenham. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, I mean, how they managed to get him is unbelievable, do you know what I mean?

33:07Romesh Ranganathan:But they've got like... Well, we'll see. Give him a season when he stops caring. But I will say this, the only guarantee I'll give you is West Ham will finish above all the other teams we've mentioned. but anyway you know what do you know the weird thing of it as well is that that banter i find i get that banter even without football like when people overly do the banter like the big the big fella thing i find at the moment seems like it's really having a comeback at the moment yeah that's sort of it's almost like school levels people just making a joke about being me being tall it seemed like it went away for a bit and now we'll be out and about and people will sort of like make a joke but some someone came up the other day just to get a phone and they were like, oh my God, I did not realize you were such a fucking freak, mate.

33:52I didn't realize you were so fucking such a freak. And I was like, well, tall would be, tall would be a description you could have used quite perfectly, I didn't realize you were so tall, but freak. See, whether it's because it's sort of the end of summer and everyone's feeling a bit crazy, you know, along with the egging, it's like, I think that there's, you know, and you putting, wearing your Arsenal shirt, and also, my say, by the way, if you're wearing a sleeveless shirt out, your guns have got to be looking good no they weren't they weren't it looks it looks it looks

34:21Romesh Ranganathan:ridiculous like i i there's other people there wearing basketball shirts and they look great yeah your arms have got to look yeah you've got to be yeah i i know i would not have the confidence to wear one no you'd wear you'd wear a sleeve to stop for like i don't know an online advert for protein protein bands yeah if i was bullied enough into it yeah here every time i wear one of the sleeve of stop i look like literally that i'm going out to go i'm just gonna head down to the hotel and just sort of like scare some some some people are really terrified enough as it is by thumping against the door and asking what the breakfasts are like so anyway i don't think i don't think i'll be doing this again in the future what wearing what would you wear you know i don't know i think i should buy some like sports tops sports tops that have got no branding on like yeah or like just or botox myself to within an inch of my life so i don't sweat anymore like prince andrew yeah basically just woking it picture express it yeah oh you know we've had some cuban or hawaiian shirts with the mustache would look sick i just think i've already let them the tash and the mullet have already taken me down the road.

35:36I don't want to go any further down. Mate, I would say by the way, if you had a fucking sick Cuban shirt, it would look absolutely delicious.

35:46Romesh Ranganathan:Well, they had a Tommy Bahama shirt in one of the Disney shops. It had Mickey Mouse on it, obviously. But I suggested to the boys that I wear it and let's just say the car washers put on it pretty quickly. Yeah, but you can't be running around with Mickey Mouse on all your clothes now. That can't be a thing you do. but you but i would say that's a good look for you your tattoos you've got sick arm tattoos you don't want to show the whole line but give us a little bit so we go fucking oh look at that yeah i mean no i mean i have been giving a little bit i mean i've been showing a little bit so yeah you've got a vibe to you by the way i saw that i saw that uh the trolling you got talking about vanter about the uh from the albanian dude that was fucking full of

36:33jeeps it made me laugh so much yeah um it was an aggressive uh it's aggressive takedown

36:40Romesh Ranganathan:yeah i liked it though i didn't mind it yeah

38:23Romesh Ranganathan:right do you want to do a couple of emails before it's getting it's getting quite busy in here so i'm gonna have to yeah there's a vibe in there now um uh bear for one second mickey mouse the evolution of mickey mouse can i say it just it feels like he's completely off the game he's like made so much money now he's just like he's not that bothered about what he does now i can't remember what do you mean what does that mean well like he was massive wasn't he's in like He was fronting his own cartoons, own kids shows. He's not actually made anything decent for quite a long time. Mickey himself, you mean?

38:54Yeah, Mickey. Obviously, he's now fucking... He probably is earning money out of all the other Disney characters. Well, there's a relatively new Mickey and Minnie ride at Hollywood Studios. It's one of the best rides. Yeah, it's a great ride. That's great. But he's not out there doing... He just stepped off. He doesn't need to, does he? He doesn't need to. Yeah, no. Because Grace knows who he is. And I'm like, he hasn't done it for years.

39:15Romesh Ranganathan:is don't get too fucking invested in him yeah but i think i do think it's an example of like sort of an older head that's been around for a little bit going do you know i'm sure that you see him and minnie are set for life yeah rather than i don't know doing a weekly podcast desperately trying to cling on some relevance

39:35can i say that someone comes up the idea of minnie mickey me doing a podcast together well what i'm

39:41Romesh Ranganathan:saying is i think there's a strong argument that maybe we should think about following the mickey model and just you know riding off into the sunset i'll tell you what mate the moment we come close to mickey mouse money we will do that at the moment we're scratching about at the moment me and you are fucking goofy and donald duck let's not get ideas above our fucking station goofy and donald duck if you don't think that's ideas above our station you are you are you're more delusional who would we be that is i'd be that you're that big the big bad guy in the DuckTales. Do you know what we'd be?

40:13Romesh Ranganathan:Do you know in one of the Disney cartoons where they're walking along by a river and then there's some bits of corn? You'd be that horrible little grotty wolf that's in all of them. You know the stalks of corn that's sort of dancing along with the song? That would be us. No, actually, there's always an owl who doesn't really do much in them. I mean, there's a part for a wolf. Yeah, okay. Essays, basically, in Disney cartoons. okay uh we're talking about cartoons by the way my episode of Rick and Morty was out this week oh was it really yeah oh my god can I just say it's the final episode of the series very proud right how big's your part not very big it's yeah what do you play you might notice the voice can I say inspired by probably my favourite comedian are you winding me up nope I You should have a watch, see what you think.

41:12I played a chill with Lover. I played a chill with like a monster chill with Lover.

41:16Romesh Ranganathan:Can you deliver one of the lines? Well, I mean, you've heard the voice before. I don't know what take they went with. We did it quite, yeah. Well, there was a lot of that going on. Which got a lot of, yeah, which got a lot of good feedback. You know what? You've actually done an amazing thing for me because I wasn't in Rick and Morty, but now I feel like I am. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's incredible. Yeah, yeah. thank you do i seem a little bit within myself on this episode can i just apologize to people because i am i am recording it was basically it was this or no episode i actually you're on great form i like this version of you i think we should start doing it where you have to record all these in public places well the last time was when i my flight got delayed and i was complaining about a business class flight taking longer than i wanted to to australia for my tour hello owl and wolf i small gripe with one of the recent episodes the wolf on multiple occasions mispronounced the term troll or trolling and in nicest possible way it was unbearable i'm surprised the other didn't pick up on this as it was constant sorry for the moaning love the pod and both of you hashtag tom for taskmaster regards the complaining cocktail cock complaining the complaining cocktail is cocktail uh first of all how do you say it troll trolled and then the verb troll and then somebody's blank somebody trolling yeah is that wrong trolling trolling trolling trolling trolling troll troll troll trolling trolling i mean trolling sounds right to mad if i've got it wrong and i and it's made you very angry i'm very very sorry about that but trolling i thought it was trolling someone's trolled me i don't know i mean he's a troll I was about to say it's a made up word but all words are made up well apologies if that's made you angry and even if this has made you angry I maybe should go and get elocution lessons ok what I'm going to say now complaining cocktail is you've definitely touched a nerve no no but I don't know I've said that for years no one's ever even the United States troll I was called troll for a while do you know what I mean it's the sort of thing that I feel like is one of those words that's come into parlance relatively recently so you kind of however you want to pronounce it's up to you really do you know what I mean yeah okay so this is a bit more of a serious one okay I'm going to read I'm going to read one that's a bit sort of complaining but I understand I actually understand the complaint and the other one's a bit positive all right bear with me one second it's good to get his complaining ones out of the way oh here we go here we go here we go hey guys by the way before i've read this email i think they've got a point okay so i'm just gonna like so i'm just warning it's nothing to get upset about but i do have a point all right okay um hey guys i hope you're well i absolutely love you guys i've listened to the podcast for years and look forward to each week however i'm emailing because i'd really love if the conversation around weight and bodies and glow-ups eventually went away with weight loss jabs the culture and conversation around weight loss is unbearable right now and it's really hard for various people including those who struggle with self-esteem issues fat people are okay with staying the same size as well as people with eating disorders equating someone's worth to what foods or takeaways they eat or how much they eat is genuinely negative and worrying message to promote as well as suggesting you can only love yourself if you look a certain way or a certain weight even the notion of putting major emphasis on being a certain health can be problematic as many people can't be or aren't healthy for various reasons and they're still deserving of acceptance i truly understand and appreciate you guys feel like you've gone on journeys which want to be acknowledged but people who love you family friends or even fans loved you before weight loss it's literally the least interesting thing about either of you as it is anyone you're more than how you look and many of us have listened to this podcast as a distraction to this stuff i don't want to appear like i'm telling you off or dictating what the podcast should be but it's been a really hard listen sometimes hearing about weight loss over and over in such a flippantly positive way when it's such a complex issue i hope you can understand and i'd be so appreciative if and i'm sure some others would be struggling would be if anything this was taken on board no worries if not i do understand if you're free to talk about what you want care take care many thanks flow um so listen um what do you think first of all i think it's i think a very apt point i think actually weirdly it's a strange thing because i don't think either of us really talk about it in stand-up i think it's become a point because we this is something we we're on a platform here where it's and it is something that's, you know, we're probably more open about how we feel and we might, you know, we're talking about honesty and it's not, we're not looking for, it's not necessarily looking for material jokes.

45:58This is a platform in which we talk about, you know, how our feelings are. I would say weirdly, I like actually had someone speak to me about this in person this week. After what, you know, and, you know, and I was very conscious of how I spoke about, you know, Manjaro and actually in general, just how maybe both of us came across, like I certainly actually how I came across in that and I wasn't trying to be flippant. I wasn't trying to be rude. And I actually completely understand everything that this person that Flo has said here and completely, I sort of agree with it actually. I think it's probably something that we've, you know, like today, for example, I don't think we've mentioned it at all.

46:41and it's like something that we're, I think someday, it's like, you know, I guess the curse of this podcast is at times, we don't have a structure, we don't have a format and we've very much come to this podcast in how we feel. It's never, and I think sometimes, and every episode is very varied on the basis that wherever your head is at that any one point, when we switch on this computer and we start talking, I can straight, I usually tell quite quickly how where you're at and I think vice versa. And I think that sometimes we probably get that wrong a bit. And I do apologise for that. I think sometimes it can probably be a bit self-congratulatory, whatever, a person from before get involved about me criticising about getting a word wrong.

47:26But I think the truth is that the one thing that I know that you and I would never want to do is cause any upset or offence in anything we're chatting about. We're just chatting as ourselves. and I completely take that note on board uh again and I do kind of want to say when it comes to health and any any point of what I've done is never been about you know I still have a lot of the same hang-ups I've always had but also it was never I was never doing this as a thing as a glow up it was it was literally and I'm almost gonna agree enough mine was just a very big health concern it was a very big like you basically have to make this change and if you don't make this change you're not going to be here to see your daughter grow up it was that serious so my thing wasn't a matter of me sitting here going oh i want to look a certain way my way was a doctor sitting me down and giving me basically this is this is what you have to do and sometimes i think actually i've probably spoken about things i should have probably been a bit more earnest about that or i should be more open about that i didn't necessarily feel right at the time but But also sometimes, you know, and now I think when we're both talking about things, we maybe both be a bit flippant about certain things.

48:42But yeah.

48:43Romesh Ranganathan:I mean, the truth of it is, the truth of it is, it's like, you know, Tom, I don't want to go into details because Tom's not going to do so. But Tom had a big health scare. And, you know, I got told something similar, not as radical as Tom, but something similar. but the truth is um you're right flow that it is not the it is not the most interesting thing and it is the least interesting and for some people it isn't as simple as like you suddenly change your diet and start exercising more and everything gets solved and the other thing is that i'd be i'd want to be clear to you and i'd speak for both tom and me when i say this is that the idea if you lose weight you'll suddenly be happy with yourself it's just not is a fallacy it's not true you either you find something new that to fixate on or you're still not happy with whatever you've you've managed to do and actually the truth is i think and actually i did talk about this on stage is that there has to be something upstairs that you sort out in order to actually that's the true solution is to kind of work out something in your head because you have to become sort of happy with yourself in a way and like obviously it's about being healthy but at the same time it's about like being happy with yourself and being kinder to yourself and i think that's something that we can we can all do but listen anyway the reason we've read the email out is you make some good points and we're very sorry genuinely um for any discomfort we might have caused so yeah thank you so much for your email okay one more yes do one more would you very well very beautifully written email that it was very oh by the way there's another complaint about me actually here that i'd quite like to deal with quite quickly dear wolf and owl thank you tom for thinking of the people that have to clean public toilets this is in response to our public toilet yeah discussion i used to be one of them and yes i did take it personally sometimes i always think about the consequences of my actions even when i've messed up and who it might affect and i'm quite surprised that one stated these people are not being malicious what are they being then if you create an unnecessary mess someone has to come along and clean that up i just like to be as kind as consider it as possible like you do tom simple thoughts and actions like this would make a world a better place tom love you brother so can i just deal with this so obviously quite annoyed with me um i wasn't i wasn't saying that it was okay to do that i don't know why you're laughing tom i don't know why i said i didn't i didn't mean to say it was okay to do that what i meant was the person i don't think the people are deliberately thinking i'm going to stick it to the cleaners by doing this okay i appreciate i don't think it's appropriate either i would never do that i do think it's disgusting i want to be clear on that but i don't think they're doing it in a vicious way i just think they're being inconsiderate eat also a crime to be inconsiderate but that's the point i'm trying to make okay and i'm sorry really sorry i feel quite beautiful going into the end of this podcast feeling quite sorry for myself yeah we need a lot of pressure on the fucking roundup at the moment yeah i know um okay hi tom and rom i'm writing to thank you for both the wolf and our podcast it's a funny engaging and intense entertaining listen the perfect company for my daily walk to work often making me google like a fool however on a much deeper level something completely unexpected has happened you've provided me with wonderful examples of non-toxic masculinity your friendship honesty vulnerability kindness and humor are genuine inspiration as a woman that's been surrounded by toxic and abusive examples of manhood for most of my 56 years.

52:14Romesh Ranganathan:Seeing you both demonstrate mutual respect and friendship has been a revelation. When a truly challenging period of my life began on the 1st of January, 24, I made a vow to myself that I would make this personal evolution not an ending. I've been doing a lot of work on myself since, and I'm genuinely in the most secure and confident space I've ever been. The podcast has been an unexpected but important part of that journey. Thank you for demonstrating you can be strong, funny, and vulnerable all at the same time. It's a gift. Wishing you all the best, the oldest signet in town. But there you go.

52:42Romesh Ranganathan:That's nice, isn't it? That's very nice. All of them nice. Yeah, they are all nice. Yeah. But I'm just saying, I'm sorry about the toilet thing. Tom, this has become, this has now become untenable for me. Okay. Is it busy? Is there another door then? Is there another door in there? There's lots of doors. There's people behind me. I can't really. Anyway, can you please wrap this up? Because we need to finish this. Okay. This has become, I think I might get kicked out. There's people looking over. Okay. Let me wrap this up quick and nice. It's funny, isn't it? A blast from the past. An old friend you see on the train that you went to school with.

53:24Looking through the carriage, they smile at you, you smile at them. No words exchanged, just a nod, a casual nod. Hey, Phil, Mary, Lou, good to see you again. That's what you think in your head, you never get a chance to say. Or maybe it's doing a podcast with your best friend in the whole goddamn world, and you look over their shoulder and see a cartoon mouse jumping about and think, happy times, Mickey Mouse. Happy times. Sending in your love, brother. Truth of the matter in life is sometimes we don't get to say the things we want to say, have the conversations that are important. Not every beat of your life is like Dawson's Creek, Nay, Grain Chill, or Biker Grove, where problems, situations get resolved and wrapped up in half an hour.

54:07sent on their way to a edit suite where people watch them and go, huh, that's how life should be. Truth of the matter is entertainment is a different thing from the reality in which we all live. And sometimes the things that we wish that we said and wish that we did can rest hard in our stomach. Late at night, four in the morning when you're awoken, you just lay there in bed thinking, maybe I should have said this, I should have said that. Hey, you know what, Phil from school spat in my hair once. I said nothing. Does that make me the fool? But truth is, Phil's probably forgotten about it. Life moves on.

54:41The waves of time pour across the beach of our life. And then, as time passes forward and forward, you hold on to more, and before you know it, you have a stomach full of fucking memories that you can't ever really let go. And all I can say is very much, let them go. Truth of the matter is, the only thing that they're anchoring is your own potential, your own voyage. So every time that you see someone from the past or think of something that once happened and it makes you angry, let out a sigh, let out a blow. Hey, the bruise is still there, the scars still show, but you know what? You owe yourself a clean and better day and one more step on the road called you.

55:27Romesh Ranganathan:Stay true. Really, really nice. And I sort of had made it clear that I need to wrap up and you've done possibly the longest final thought we've ever done in the history of this podcast. So thank you for that level of consideration. JT, I recently interviewed Be Real from Cypress Hill and I told him that my favourite Cypress Hill song was Psycho Better Buck Down. And he like really opened up and it was an amazing moment. So please can we play that out, play the podcast out with that. Tom Davis, thank you so much. God bless you, friend. I think I'm going to be asked to leave the premises. I'll see you soon, guys.

56:01Romesh Ranganathan:Take care. Stay Disney. Bye. Bye. Bye.

We'd love to hear from you, mainly because we don't have any content ideas. Thank you. You want to impress them on a first date, but also play it cool. So what do you do? I'm Rufy Thorpe, and I wrote and read a real love story about a hinged couple that navigated exactly that. Listen to the free audiobook now.
