Can I honest, generally, I'm watching you here. Oh, goody. Right. You've lost a bit of timber since then. Yeah.
So you walk into the tent here. Now this is really, this is what we want from a throwdown. So when you walk into the tent, are you literally going at action? Oh, yeah, it's horrible. And do they ask you, Joe, can you say something or is it just? No, it's just walking. No, don't go into your shell like the hedgehog.
Please give us some insight. Thanks for listening everyone. What?

If I was listening, I'd go on and know what it was like on Bake Off. Well,
Here we go. 10 down with my bare hands. Right. You had to do a talking head. Yeah. Do they say, can you come over here for 10 minutes to just tell us how you feeling? Yeah. But not too late. It's not two minutes. Do they give you little, can you talk about that? They just ask you questions. Can you try that with me now? Yeah. How do you think, well, you're a contestant. Are you a celebrity? Yeah. How do you think your guard goal has gone this morning?
Do you know what, they cut it there, just a big half funny, out, dumb. Yeah, I know, I thought that. In my head, I thought they led it, though. Yeah, there you go, natural editor. Yeah. There you go. Because actually, I've been doing this for years, probably more than they have, actually. Some 50. 50. This is a massive selling good, in theory. So, pretty compared to you. A lot of pressure. Paul's been texting me all week. Right, you're talking. Now, you're making it.
You're making whatever you're making. You said Paul's been talking to me all week. That's Paul Hollywood, I guess.
Is the camera in your face, and do you go, oh, in your head I've got talk now, or do they say, can you say something, Joe? Let's ask you questions. They're not going talk now, they go, so how's it going? Whatever, let's reproduce. Okay, let's fuck, I don't, I'm what I don't know. Get off your fucking high horse. Well, you got some fun. You've got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got some fun. I think you got
It's just not fair. Right, they got a little bit of you there. You didn't do anything there. No disrespect to you, but you just said it. He's been text me. It's just not fair. That's a little bit of gold there. I don't remember that bit, but I was pretending I'd been in contact with Paul Hollywood all week. You got up to the judges.
And they said, they go, Joe, and you have to explain what you're doing. How do you feel in that moment? You know the cameras on you. Oh, well, I think we're two days in at that point. I was, I was probably all right. Do you feel like they're listening or do you feel like they're just playing the part for the TV? I think we're listening. You're actually concerned. Yeah. Well, I think this is, it's a warm environment. It's a friendly. Okay. Guys eyes are dazzling, but Hollywood.
Yeah. It felt like a genuine laugh from you there. Thank you. I hate how you don't give us anything. Come up like a fucking clam. Tell us what it's like on Bake Off. I am. It's a lack of any other ideas. I'm just going to keep the
Right, you're chatting. I just need to know, are they asking you questions for you to talk? You're not just talking as you cook. No, they go, and it'll be a producer going, just talk us through what you've done in the last two or three minutes. Right, fuck. Why fuck? Well, it's then I go, okay, I've got to come up with a nugget of gold here. They're after gold, they're sieving for gold. They're not always sieving for gold. Sometimes they need to know what you've been doing, I think.
OK, so I put some milk in with some flour, and I'll be honest with you, Susan, or every name. I'm stressed. There we go. That's mine. There's my angle. Yeah, there's your little angle. Great. There's my angle. I'm stressed. Done, boss. Finish it off by hand. OK, thanks. You should finish it off by hand. And then he went to me.
You looked down the fucking lens here, you nicked my... You looked down the lens! I thought, I had to admit, I thought, if anyone... What would David do? He said, he used my hand. Fuck it, that's gold for these producers. You've got the gold on the greening. It's the pressure of being hit.
You know, when they cut away to people laughing, feels like they're like, are they laughing at you? Or have they just grabbed a laugh? I wasn't in the edit, to be fair. Do you know what? Tell us what happens on Vakoff. What? What do you mean? The whole guy? I just want you to tell us. I feel like I'm trying to get... Well, to be fair, we got time out of a stone. And Aaron, 20 minutes in, so Mark's... Well, this is going to be a double bubble thing out of the flowers. Half way to watching that. I had a glance up and went, double bubble.
Vazel. Honestly, most of the top, they come back. Do you relax? Listen, listen. You've asked me two questions. I've answered zero. I'm going to answer the first one and then the second one. Okay. Okay. Yeah. What happens? I'll tell you that and then I'll tell you at what point do I relax?
Yeah. Okay. Here we go. You basically get on with the day, the task in hand, like if you were doing throw down, you throw yourself into it, and that is 95% of the day. You just trying to make up the episode? Is the episode made in a day? The episode is made over two days with the bake off. Right. Most of it is you just trying to make a cake or in your case, a gargoyle pot.
And every now and then they'll come over. And then that is easy, because you're just going, oh, then it's all... Can I step in and ask something? Not yet. Yes, you can, of course.
Do you ever lose yourself in what you're doing or are you always aware you're on TV? 100% because you're not being filled all the time and you are. It's a wonderful day because you are actually making something. Right, now this is lovely. This is lovely and this will work in my favour. Yeah, because you're throwing yourself into it and that comes across. Right, okay. So that's nice to know that you've let go and you're just baking the cake. And you know what you go, I'm glad I'm here. Right, I'm glad I'm here.
At what point do you relax? Okay, second part of the question. I'd say quite quickly, once you're into the thing, I tell you the bit that's less relaxing than it's like when you've been judged because it's all like, oh, oh, it's sort of now a bit where it's all on you, but it's very short. And you just have to keep thinking they're filmed for about six minutes and it'll be 25 seconds. Yeah.
At what point do you feel like you're bonding with the other contestants? Very, very quickly. I've gotten very well with the other people. Sally, Jeremy Paxman, and the lady from... made Chelsea tick. Did you feel like in any moments where you go, I didn't give them anything there? No, don't use it.
So you're very, very relaxed in TV then? No. But I'm good to talk about... It's all right to say yes I am, very relaxed. No, I'm just... It's all right. I've just done 14 hours of baking. I don't think everything's going to be on the telly. That's all I'm saying. Did you go in there thinking I'm going to make something that's funny? I do... I thought about it. I thought about an angle for the cakes.
And my angle was, I'm going to really go for this because everyone's going to expect me to be rubbish and not try. So I thought, I'll try. I'll throw myself into the experience. And that's why it hurt earlier where you went, Oh, no, you'd be like, Oh, I don't want to be. I go, no, sometimes I go the other way. And I keep knowing when you're presenting. Yes. But then that's why I thought you just, you don't know me as much as you think you know me.
Okay. I'll let down the lens, though. Yeah, try be likable, Joe. Keep reminding yourself, try and be likable. Sometimes it's nice to be yourself on something. Cubs could be myself.
That felt genuine. Paul Hollywood said something to you and went, Oh, really? I said, I wouldn't cry. I felt genuine. Lovely. Yeah, he said I'd done a nice bike. And I was, I wasn't uniising you. I don't think I'm on Wikipedia page. I just want to make Paul happy. I think we're moving here. Everyone's really nice.
I know everyone's nice, but I'm talking now. Yeah, but you you're asking a question from my first TV show. Yeah, we know. Jesus, 27 years ago Christ.
That's not the only experience I've had either. When he bloody was his name coming on here and crying, he got sacked from spoons. All of them my actual buttocks. So this is supposed to go in the middle of the cake? Yeah, it's a little wobbly. Yeah, I've got a middle like that.
As you were sort of spilling your, sort of moving your bowl around and you went, it's a little wobbly. In fact, you gave her the space to quit. Which is great. I wonder they used it. Did he set up a quid for something? Just went over my head. Look, there's a Robin! I think you're very likable on these shows. That's why people like you. You likeable. The way you say it doesn't fill me with any joy.
Well, you're nothing like the guy on the pot. Exactly. Wonder why that is.
Oh, you love TV. Well, I'm imagining me coming up with an idea for I'm going to do that. Like if I made it not about a club. And I think that's not funny. No, we will finally be spunk all over, like brown, spunk.
And that would be, I'd feel like I'd be gambling there. First throw down it never to be aired. Did you taste your cake and was it tasty? No, you don't take that. You can't taste it until they cut it. Yeah, but have you tasted? I made it before. Yeah, I made it. Well, I don't know. It's different. I don't know. I didn't know if it was going to be nice. Yeah.
Will you ask the question when you want to take any of that cake. Are you made on the show i would like to know what you mean yeah yeah. And was it nice i don't know. In context because paul hollywood city was i know but.
I don't know if it was, if it was good telly to say it was, or I don't know. Oh, see? See, I think about that on pottery throwdown. Sometimes they go, oh, that's good with a nice rim. I go, is it? But I don't know. I think, I don't think they would cheat, but I think it was probably like, oh, compared to the others. Maybe it was the best tasting one. So they gave it a bit more welly than I don't know. But I don't know if he likes me as a baker, but as a human, he absolutely adores me.
What? Nothing. I'm just... You're getting defensive, whereas I'm watching it thinking about me doing postory throw down. So I just want to learn, because you've got your fucking... Yeah, I wonder why. You've got your wonderful spikes up. Oh, wonderful. Whereas I want to go, right, so Joe did that, so I'll just nick what he did.
So I'll be likable. OK. He's heavier than I am now. Oh, God. I'll put some weights on. I'll make a knob, clay, with brown spunk. And everyone go, oh, Joe did that five years ago. Did he? It is draining, isn't it?
When you were given that offer. Oh, we're still going. Right. Yeah. Fucking right. That offer to do bake off. Did you jump at it or did you have to think about it? I had to think about it. And what made you go? I'm doing it. Experience.
Good experience. Yeah, it makes sound good, yeah. It makes sound good, yeah. Can't win with you. That was one thing I thought. You went, um, what the fuck am I going to answer this experience? No, I didn't. I was thinking, whatever I say, you're going to pull it apart.
I'm the same. Unless, unless, unless I said, because I want and I'd love telly. That's the only answer that will satisfy you. No, because I want to do the throw down. Yeah, why? And I want to do it for the experience. I'll do you. Yes, because it's a show that I'm really into with Naomi. And I'm like, I'd love to just be in that and have a go at it. Can't just watch it. Oh, absolutely. I've watched it.
And I probably will, because they're not going to get in touch, shall we? I'm crazy. I've been a fucking barge, brother. Honestly, just work with him for a week beforehand. Just spend a bit of time with him. You'll learn to love him. You'll have to change a few things, but...
I'm ramping it up for the pop. Here comes the safety net. Trust me. I'm ramping it up. I'm ramping it up for the pop. I'm ramping it up for the throw down.
Could you not ramp up and just be normal? Just see Ellie Taylor waiting in the wings. I don't know what normal is. Tell you what it is, mate. Your hands. Your decision, mate, king. You're looking down the left thing.
Yeah, put your chin down, stop looking down the lens. Be normal. Don't do that with your fingers. Kenneth Williams wasn't normal. I loved him. Yeah. True. Everyone did love him. Do you know what? I know that was difficult for you. I don't know why, but I really enjoyed getting a little bit of behind the scenes. OK, we'll snip out the, I don't know why, but just say again.
Do you know what? I know that was difficult for you. Black, but I'm really enjoyed getting a little behind the scenes of the great British bait-off. See, and that is how you present the pottery showdown.
If I did the pottery throw down, you telling me you wouldn't want to know how I got on. And you wouldn't want to watch a little clip of me. Yeah, I would, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Which is why I really wanted to watch that.
Take your head out your ass. Give the audience what they want. Is this what they want? Bickering old men. Just having to go each other. And hour and a half. And hour and a fucking hour. I just said, I wanted to do throw down. I said, do you think I could do it? And you went, no. And that is how this whole fucking journey started. If you had said yes, now let's have some fun.
A little bit of honesty, you shit. Let's be honest. What are you so? Thank you. That's... Who does the pottery throw down be a double bubble? Me! I can fit in my bones this morning. I've got so much to talk about. If you thought pottery throw down was a double bubble, you're insane. Yeah.
I thought you were going to say, you wait until you hear. Yeah, what's his name? The actor does the Sky Portrait of the Year. Oh tenant, no tenant, no. No, no Stephen Mangum. Stephen Mangum, yeah I saw him with me a little bit of that.
Oh yeah, he's got range and he's very serious in that really funny and green wing and whatever. Very funny on panel things. He's got a lot going on actually. He's very serious on that actually with a little block. Is this a cover? Yeah, I could be serious. Yeah. Well, you know the last thing you said where you blanked out the don't you're problem is I went that, that's our pottery guy.
That's our pottery guy. Oh, because he's a little bit of humour. You were, you were self on the spot. Carla on the spot. Just there was, there was a new guy in town. There was, we've got a new guy on a trust him. Do you know what worries me? Yeah. We get no reaction from any of the pottery throw down team. Well, I don't know. No one emails or says, ha ha, that was funny even. Literally nothing.
Well, there's a small world. It's a massive chance that'll happen. Well, that's what worries me. At least say it was a good fun. All right, I'll be honest. I'm thinking I reckon this will get you on the celeb version. That's what I'm thinking. I'm out. Fucking house. My heart just died.
What'd he stop at? He's not in two minutes. What'd he stop at? I know where this is going down. I can't do this. I can't do this. No, I can't do this. I know. I know. I can do this. I can do this. Ninety-five minute dance.
Do you know what? I think I can. I can do this. I really, really can do this. It goes like, oh, I can't do this. I can't do this. The tiniest of hurdles. I can't do this. Did you really go when you're like, I actually might get asked. Yeah, I went.
Oh, fuck, no. I did. Why am I like that? Why did I? Oh, fuck, yes. Could you ask for it as well? Yeah, but I just, it's more me saying you've got a great show on your hands. Yeah, I'll say that and then, and then, but you came into it wanting to do it. I do want to do it. I do make your money. But I don't want to ruin what they've got. You're going to have a heart attack on the first roll.
I just don't want to do it and then go, this is the worst celebrity throw down it, we've ever done! Get them in! Whoever that is. At least the unknown used to do whatever it is. I can get it up gunty guy. Who's the guy ruining throw down? Podcaster and actor David Ille.
Oh my God. What would you want your thing to say at the bottom when it says your name and occupation? What would you want the thing? That's a good question to say. You know, like David Tennant would say actor.
What would you all say, comedian? Oh, don't know. I'm asking you. See, there we go. Yeah, but here we go. Answer. And then ask me. You answer me. No, fucking weirdo. I ask you. And then you come. No, you ask me. What do you see on the shows? What do they call you? Wait, just wait. A waiter.
I went, what would you be with? Good question. What would you say? Like, no, can you answer? You went, you answer. I am right. I can't. Like, everyone can hear why you've been weird. Very strange. I just frustrates me that you then go, no, you won't ask. And then you've done it. So what have they called you? Comedian and writer, what do they call you?
comedian. I don't know. Yeah, comedian. Oh, podcast and maybe slip that in. Right. What would my mind be? Comedian actor. Comedian and actor.
David L. Comedian and actor. See, you're laughing at me. No, I can't wait here. What did you say? It could be a triple bubble. Oh, wake of it. It's getting slippery, yeah. It's not a joke, Logan. We haven't done that on office. I'm ill.
I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that. I can easily do that.
it's basically who's that bloke sort of recognize him oh he's done that oh right yeah I didn't watch it
That one. Oh, wow, you wouldn't be. Comedian and actor. That was still going. Well, yeah, I was just working it out. Comedian and actor, please. Comedian and actor. Would I be the first ever person on throwdown or one of these podcaster? Well, maybe. A good chunk of what you do. Maybe it should be. Huge? Yeah, podcaster.
Oh my god, no one. Why should I just say show off? Exactly, no. Show off. Wanker. Lucky Wanker. Doesn't leave his house. Just talk. Fucking hell.
How is this got so much? Why has he got comedian in an actor? Why have I got podcaster? You do a lot of it. What would I cast her at? Comedian and podcaster? Yeah, comedian. But he would have podcaster because he's got one of the biggest.
comedian. Will he become people who watch this stuff? They've got a clue what podcast is. No, I'll definitely make sure I don't get this. I'll start insulting the audience. I really think you're going to get asked who's celebrity one.
Fine, bring it on. No, not thing. Okay, yeah, bring it on. But you react to that. I'm not in control. I make the decisions whether I do it or not. You can come here if you want. I'll let friendly reply.
Oh, he won me on this show, do you? Make it worth my wine. Works for charity. By giving me five weeks of rehearsals to ease what's so good. Even now all I do is make a fucking pop. And say six things. Is that really all it is? I edit down to about six things, isn't it? Yeah. Can you give me just another talking head then?
Honestly, this is really, you think it's a laugh, it's really helping me. I don't know. What might, what might they ask? You're on throw down or bake off now. Throw down. David, your first pot, what didn't go as well? Well, this one seems to have gone a lot better. What do you reckon changed in your second throw? Honestly, I'll just be looking at them, go look at their nose or whatever they got their hair like that.
Which is all great. Look at your nose. I'm a bit paranoid. Look at your nose. I would go, I was just really nervous with the first one. Now I found my feet. Or should I say my hands? Oh, there you go. Cut. Got it. No, I wouldn't say that. I'll just say, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll be really gentle. All right. I'm really nervous for the first one. Now I'm relaxing and I can breathe.
and then knowing you'd have a little funny out and we'd go, great, thanks David. I can breathe for once. And we'd start, we'd go, we've got like that person to tell us where we are in the show. Do you know what I'm going to do? Do I look nervous? Do I look nervous? I'd say that. So good, it all works, it's all usable. Do I look nervous? I'd look round the camera. And then they'd go, we can't really use us on camera. They've just said, we can't really use them all.
I better not use them then. Cut. Try not to pull down the format like we said. Right. Actually, it would be a presenter doing it. It'd be Siobhan. No, but then you said about talking heads, that's the producer. Well, in actually, in part, we throw down. Well, I actually think me and Siobhan would get on very well. Well, until she finds out you've done an hour and a half talking about one of that job.
No, I don't want it. I need you steps aside. But I think she should go. Hello, David. Hello, Jevon. How are you getting on? Bloody terrible. Look at it. What are you making? Oh, come on. You give me a hug. Give me a hug. Give me a hug. Give me a hug. You fucking bastard.
cut on you hugging. Yeah, you're all fucking bastards. I'm wearing for a little gloss. You're going to drink through it. You're like a classic Sherry throughout it. You're all fucking bastards. OK, I'm not sure it is. They've held comedian character actor. Oh, I'm done. Podcaster in capitals.
Genuine question, if there was a positive outcome from this podcast, what would I hear? It would be my agent. What do you mean? Would your agent be well from my agent just saying they are they're touting around to see you might be up for doing the next series of celebrity work. They're touting around and they pick the best date. Is that how it works?
I'm not an expert, I'm just guessing. You're taking everything as gospel, which frightens me. Right. Because they go, well, it's not how it works. If they are listening now, because it's got round, we're talking about it still. They might just go, we're
We're just emails if David's interested, maybe potentially just testing the water, see if he might. Honestly, I would genuinely, my stomach would just go into a washing machine. I really would be worrying. I say, I'll know me. They've asked me to do this. You said you wanted to do it. Yeah. I do want to do it. I'd just say to me that world.
I'll be so brilliant. I don't know what I do. I'll be no me in it. Go right. Don't be down about that. Yeah. I need to know if pitch is here. Can I get the door? Yeah. I'm going to get the door. Okay. Christ Almighty. Stressful, isn't it?
I hope you watch the Pottery Throwdown. If you don't, you really should do. It's bloody, it's a great TV. It really is. Watch there every night, moment. I tried running with a torn calf. That was very good. I watched this, Joe, if I send you this quickly. What is it? It's a clip from Pottery Throwdown. Okay. You'll get an idea of how fucking glorious this man is, Keith. Is it Keith? I think it's Keith. I do not, Keith.
Oh, I do. Just watch this. Any just the dog's bollocks that bloke
He just gets, it just touches his heart. Right, I've got to be honest, the first time you see it, it's fucking weird. Yeah, but once you get to that, you go. Yeah, I know, but I'm saying I'll never say the genuine... I know, but it's quite shocking. Yeah, because you've got to get in touch with your emotions. It's quite shocking the first time you see him go. Yeah, the first time you see him go, why the hell where's that come from?
But then you go, you sort of guess what's going to, yeah, it's hard to work out what's going to trigger him, isn't it? Yeah. You just basically, you've got to go, if you're presenting this, you just got to be lovely, haven't you? She said, it's charming and many sites, this should be you. Like you. That's what you'd say. Yeah, you're a head cry. I'll put my hand on his shoulder. He'd probably go, you've only been here once. Get off. But I would go, oh,
And he goes, it's charming. I'll go, it really is charming. Like you. Like you. Yeah, maybe. I'll just say it really is charming. That's the other two just went, looks you up and down every time you sit. Well, then I'll go on being bullied at work. And that is really of no known now. Yeah. So you're fine. Yeah. It's pretty straightforward, isn't it?
Basically, do people enjoy me on the show? It's as simple as that. I'm looking at Melanie as if it's you. OK, it's brilliant. Can someone make a video? But you'll face over Melanie's. Simply it works. I'll be really uncomfortable with that. Honestly, there's so many double entendres here I could play with.
Like there's a massive crack at the back. It's like Kate. Exactly. It's like Kate. That's why I said it in the shower. See? Bang. I said it in the shower with Kate. Don't you say it? Yeah. Yeah. I said it in the shower. That would, it pissed himself a lot. It wouldn't make the idea. And so would you. Just like in the shower.
There's loads of stuff with pottery you could.
Oh, I don't know. All about that, nice clean rim. What I said in the chair, this one. To Keith. Just to say, I said that to Keith in the shower. Yeah, not Emily. Not Emily. It was me and Keith in the shower and he had a big crack in the rim, a shiny rim. Yeah. Yeah. I repeat Emily was nothing. Yeah. Lovely little lip to that.
Yeah, good. I don't know. Well, lovely little lip to that. I said that getting out of the shower. What are you talking about, the jugging or Nigel? Who's Nigel?
one of the contestants. There's a hole in that bottom. That's what it's like to do. Do your lyser, do your lyser. Always taking the momentum out of the pit. What are you saying Nigel?
I'm just saying I've worked really hard on this pot and I'm really proud of how I've done. Didn't line, sir. Didn't line, sir. Yeah. Stairs. Gankaya, my shots. Two shots. I've got to look back at the air and go, oh, my slides have been. I'm out of the unit. Oh, I would as well. I said something in that bit. I did my bumming keeping the shower a bit.
That's an area of massive hole, isn't it? Yeah. That's a nice, shiny ball. There's loads and loads. That one. You've done so many. It's a look.
Yeah, exactly. That's a nice shiny ball. I actually wouldn't do anything. Sorry, what? Too easy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Well, for it to be meaningful, these apps, I do want people to realise that
I care about this show and I... Yeah, we get it. I'm putting myself... Right. Jesus. Fuck it over you, give it. After two hours. Does he like the show or not? Fuck it out. I can watch a gladiator.
Basically, the producer of the last series is Mark Drake. Oh no, he's the director. He's the producer of the last series. Who makes the producer, producer, director? What company makes it, David? Oh yeah. Well, Richard Holmes is the director and producer. He does filthy garden SOS and garden rescue. Fucking hell, I could do that as well. What can't you do?
What's the company that makes it? Production company. Love productions. Oh, I do know them. Do you know love productions? Yeah. Do you? Yeah, I know. Yeah. What have they done? Have they done? I think they did bake off or something. It looks like, yeah, they just do it throw down. I think it's Graham Norton's in it or something. Oh, yeah, maybe.
I love production. Programs, what did I do? Bake off. Yeah, there you go. Swear sewing bee. Throw down. The piano. Oh look, our Welsh chapel dream. That was the one I was telling you about.
Right. Yeah, that's superb, that is that. Yeah, they're rolling in it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, love productions. Getting contact? Well, more than anything, I just want to say, I love your show. I do. So it's so cozy. I love Keith. What about the other show? About the other fan, and the other guy, Richard, I think. I like all of them. And the guy, and the, yeah, like all of them.
Okay, thanks everyone. I'm absolutely exhausted. I don't know what I've said for two hours. There's definitely a point of proper bickering. That was about an hour and 25 minutes in and we cannot be blamed for that.
No, exactly. You can have a bicker at some point. Well, it's around the bake-off time. Yeah, it was really spicy. James will probably have to do a few different intros and outtros for these, so we'll be in touch.
Yeah, and don't ever have a go at us because they're going, oh, they just record it all in one and two hours to live shoved out. And I'll tell you this for nothing. There are a lot of podcasts that do it in batches. You say that to me. We love it. We talk about a pod and you go, they do it all in two weeks. They all do it in two weeks and chuck it out over four months. Yeah, they can do it, but we can't. Yeah. No, it's not how it works anymore.
If we're on a roll, we want to keep going, that's how it works. Overcompensating at the end. Can I just put a shout out?
Do a shout out, if there's anyone that works on that show and is a Chatter Biscuit, please get in touch. Don't have to do any more than that. Just go, yes, I am, or I have been a Chatter Biscuit. Why do you want that? Just so it hasn't just gone into the ether and there's been no interaction. It makes me feel nice. But what's your fear if nothing comes of it that you've just been... Would you have annoyed them? No. No, okay.
I don't know how it ends. Like, it feels weird. I've just been on for so long. Yeah. So Stockholm's in joke now.
Yeah. I'll tell you how to end. Please come to our Patreon where we're putting up a full video each week of one of our episodes. We do an extra episode for Patreon.
