0:15
25 years ago, on September 29th, 1998, we
0:19
watched a brainy girl with curly hair drop everything
0:21
to follow a guy she only kind of knew
0:23
all the way to college. And
0:25
so began Felicity. My name is Juliette
0:27
Littman, and I'm a Felicity superfan. Join
0:29
me, Amanda Foreman, who you may know better
0:31
as Megan, the roommate, and Greg Grunberg, who
0:33
you may also know as Sean Blumberg, as
0:36
the three of us revisit our favorite moments
0:38
from the show and talk to the people
0:40
who helped shape it. Listen to Dear Felicity,
0:42

1:26
two of David's old... ♫ LAUGHTER
1:28
♫ David's
1:31
old carding rounds. Where
1:34
are you taking us this week, David? ♫
1:38
LAUGHTER ♫ There's something, isn't
1:40
there? There fucking isn't. ♫
1:44
LAUGHTER ♫ We
1:47
just ain't got no other choice. ♫
1:50
LAUGHTER ♫ Where are we
1:52
headed, David? We're heading to Ditchley.
1:55
OK, Liltch... Liltley... Ditchley, Taft 6. Shall
1:58
I tell you about Ditchley? Yeah, yeah,
2:00
yeah. Let's have a look at the ditch link.
2:03
Ditching is a village in the Sybil
2:05
Parish of Lewis District of East Sussex,
2:07
England. The village is contained within the
2:10
boundaries of the South Downs National Park.
2:14
The order confirming establishment of the park was
2:16
signed in ditch link. There
2:18
you go. Right. Didn't I get there
2:20
actually? Yeah, man. I think it's
2:22
ditch link up there. Isn't the old route kicking
2:24
in? Is it kicking in?
2:26
Sort of. I think things at times
2:29
have changed because I'm
2:32
recognisable. But that's a lovely
2:34
start. Sand machine. Yeah.
2:38
So ditch link was quite
2:41
an important village. Me and my route. They
2:45
just hit me with doing it again. Oh,
2:51
fuck, I remember this. God,
2:53
listen. How many houses did you do in
2:55
the kids? I
2:58
used to cross over that little. Genuinely
3:02
bizarre. Wow. Sorry,
3:06
what was your question? I didn't have
3:08
one. I don't think. Yeah, I did. Sorry, how
3:10
many houses did you work on in ditch link?
3:14
So parky. Oh,
3:17
park is having a nose. It's
3:19
my first one. Nosey
3:22
parker. I probably have four
3:24
or five. Big houses.
3:27
Big lawns. I felt
3:29
like they were confident in my ability. So
3:32
I could relax, just get over it. So I could
3:34
relax and not be any bigger man. I
3:38
didn't really have to turn in, I just tried. I
3:42
used to work hard. Did
3:44
I? I don't know. How
3:50
can you not know if you did work hard?
3:52
I definitely remember sweating and putting the effort in.
3:57
I don't think I've worked hard to find new
3:59
customers. I
4:01
think when I earn 80 quid I
4:03
was done. Such
4:05
a solid business model. That's
4:09
terrible. Guys,
4:17
guys, we've hit 80 quid. I
4:19
was a bit like that. If I get 80 quid
4:22
in my diary that will do me fine.
4:26
If I had to go back to gardening, I'd
4:30
be doing this. I'd be doing what I'm doing now. Hopefully
4:33
not potting while you're doing it. No. So
4:37
I had one, two,
4:39
three, plus
4:41
the triangle at the end of the road for... Plus
4:45
the triangle at the end of the road. But
4:47
the customers, one of the customers said in the private road,
4:50
could you do the triangle at the end of the road?
4:53
I don't remember. My pet is plumping
4:55
a bit. They trust me
4:57
with the triangle at the end of the road. Honestly,
5:01
that was 25 quid and I thought I'd knock
5:03
that out. Piece of piss. Wasn't
5:07
that a triangle at the end of
5:09
the road? We're going
5:11
to see the triangle! Can we stand
5:13
on the triangle? Yeah.
5:19
This whole episode, in
5:21
my head, is working towards the
5:24
triangle. We
5:28
have a destination for this episode.
5:31
We know where it's ending up. I'll tell you
5:33
what. Do you want to
5:35
go to Google Maps? Go
5:38
to the Ditcheline
5:40
Cricket Club. What am
5:42
I doing this? To see
5:44
the triangle. Oh, OK. Ditcheline
5:49
Cricket Club. Do you reckon I can do
5:51
it on the road view?
5:54
Yeah, totally. I've
5:56
got Ditcheline Cricket Club in front of me. one
6:00
six there's the main road in front of it.
6:02
Right if you're traveling down that
6:04
road. Yeah from where? From
6:06
Hasek's. You want this thing to
6:09
come on your left? Oh
6:14
yeah from the other way from Compton.
6:16
Yeah now I would do from
6:19
my memory 50 meters on
6:21
your right, pass the
6:23
cricket club you should see the triangle. Okay
6:26
so I'm going to put the little yellow man. There'll be
6:28
a little private road. There's a little
6:30
private road. Yeah I see if I can
6:33
zoom in. The private road is is
6:36
it really short the private road or does it
6:38
have a bend at the end? Oh
6:41
you know it's not really really, no it was
6:43
a better length to it. So
6:45
is it a long and then
6:47
when you drove down the private road did it? I
6:50
don't think you can go down the private road. And
6:52
the triangle was the exit to the
6:55
private road. Well there's two roads is
6:57
it directly opposite the cricket club or
7:00
not or further down? I
7:02
think it was opposite. Okay let's go opposite
7:06
let's just see if I can see the green. It's
7:10
probably got three little trees
7:13
in it, cherry blossoms.
7:16
So there's no the
7:18
one I'm looking at there's no triangle
7:21
of green at the moment. What? Well
7:25
it might not be strictly a triangle. That's
7:27
the bit I'm not holding you to. I
7:29
can't see a patch of... I
7:31
wasn't measuring
7:36
the fucking right. I'm coming back
7:38
out. I was
7:40
just thinking we're in competition with Jamie
7:42
Lang. Well
7:45
we're not. Well we sort of, no we're
7:47
not. But I'm going
7:49
down... It's fast. I hate
7:51
this bollance. Oh oh
7:54
oh you got it you got it. I
7:57
think I might have. Oh have I? Have
8:00
I have you can't see what I'm looking at
8:04
You got it is there a bench on it now,
8:07
and they might have been a bit no I think it was
8:09
definitely a dustbin, but I've been Okay,
8:13
so I'm looking for a litter bin on a triangle
8:15
I Mean
8:21
there's only it's like it's
8:23
a private road. It wouldn't you know, it's a proper
8:25
road. It's not an unmade road or anything. I Doubt
8:28
Google Maps will take you up there Well,
8:31
can I ask one thing? Is
8:33
it actually on the main road to triangle? Yeah
8:37
Okay, so I'm going along the B 2 1 1 6
8:39
at the moment. Yeah You've
8:42
won if you've gone way past on hold on
8:44
hold on I'm on the wrong side. I've just
8:46

8:52
should be yeah. Okay. I've been looking at
8:54

9:02
left There's no roads

23:35
I used to park up now of cream cakes. Yes,
23:38
Bruce. Where
23:40
did you get the cream cakes from? I'm
23:43
in the ditching and tea cake shop. Can
23:46
we go there? No, because there's a signal and
23:48
it looks shit in the video. You're
23:51
not worried about that up to now, to be fair?
23:54
This is it, this is it. Is
23:57
the lane famous for having four bars? Yeah,
24:02
can you hear me now? Yeah. Oh
24:05
fine, we're alright. Well alright, it's
24:07
just about the right word for this, yeah.
24:10
So I'd go and do that
24:12
drive. I'd go
24:14
into the village centre. So
24:16
you'd be driving this way after doing
24:18
the triangle? Yeah, I'd do the
24:21
triangle in all the houses and I'd come in here
24:23
for lunch and I'd
24:26
park up this little... How is
24:28
it? I'd park up
24:30
this little drive and have a clean case.
24:34
It's a sweet little life you had actually. It's
24:37
lovely isn't it? It's lovely. I can't find the
24:39
drive. Oh well. Oh
24:51
well. So find the drive. I don't know
24:53
if I was up this road or this
24:55
guy up this road. Funny how your memory
24:58
plays tricks on you. Yeah, it's frustrating. It's
25:00
weird. It's why we've only been this far
25:02
down. No way. That
25:05
is adamant about. How
25:14
many times did you have clean
25:16
cakes down this lane? Oh
25:18
loads. Oh come on, think. Think
25:22
where it is. Oh fucking hell.
25:26
Oh my god, I went for a job interview there. Where?
25:29
What? Missed nothing. Skullcocks. Go
25:34
and find the person who did... you obviously didn't get it. I
25:36
think I did. I think I didn't turn up. What?
25:38
You got the job? I didn't want it. Did
25:41
you phone and say no thank you or did you
25:43
just not turn up? Yeah, I think the first day
25:45
I just saw I'm not doing that. I rang him
25:47
up. Right. What
25:51
was I like? Sounds better
25:53
than what's happening now. Is
25:56
it that bad? I'm trying to get away
25:58
from Ditchlin. There's
26:02
a film in this getting out of ditching
26:04
it. I
26:07
need to get out of ditching. Oh
26:11
God. Every minute I
26:13
can feel the signal getting slightly better.
26:16
Oh good. Thing is I've
26:19
got no connection to where we are. The
26:27
plus side is we have four bars. The
26:29
down side is we have nothing to say. Oh
26:34
God. What
26:37
the fuck are we doing? Oh
26:44
fuck. Oh
26:47
my God. I
26:51
don't know where I am.
26:53
What is this? Shit.
26:59
God. Shit.
27:16
I keep saying
27:18
road signs pointing me to ditch the thing
27:20
and it's so tempting. No don't. It's
27:23
no signal. No. Oh
27:27
well. Well I'm entering Burgess
27:29
Hill. Any connection to
27:31
Burgess Hill? Like minimal.
27:35
Not really. Yeah minimal. Well
27:38
at least it's more than with wherever you were a
27:40
minute ago. It's
27:45
closed. I
27:47
can't even go in bloody Burgess Hill. Fuck
27:52
me. Fuck it now. What am I
27:54
meant to do? Now.
27:57
This is happening. What
28:01
am I meant to do here? I
28:04
know. Bill. Oh
28:08
no. Tying
28:13
around parts of the subject. I
28:16
was just driving around. Fuck
28:22
it. No disrespect. I fucking
28:24
hate where it is now. I
28:28
did a gig there once. Did
28:30
you? Very badly.
28:32
With Ray Peacock and
28:35
Ed Gamble. Ed Gamble was
28:37
there but he was just watching because he was
28:39
just Ray's friend at the time. Who
28:41
put that gig? I don't know. It was
28:44
in a massive theatre. It was
28:46
in a big theatre behind it. I just remember
28:48
it being sort of behind a library or something.
28:52
I don't know. Maybe.
28:57
So it wasn't where you are. I've
29:02
been clear whole. Is
29:04
it behind a light? Who kisses? I don't know.
29:09
The fuck is the mother? Fucking
29:15
treading water. There's treading water. Tying
29:21
around. Tying
29:25
around. It's
29:28
such a grey day. I'm going down
29:30
roads I've never been to before. Well
29:32
I'm watching you watch what a grey
29:34
day is. That's
29:36
worse. There we go. There's a truck
29:39
cooking, son. Fuck
29:42
it. I'm
29:44
heading to Wibblesville Green in Ainsley. I
29:47
mean I have to talk about how you treat that. No,
30:00
it can't. Wiggles
30:03
failed. Yep,
30:06
and... Come
30:12
on, you build. Oh,
30:15
go on. We
30:19
might have hit a hole somewhere. Carly,
30:24
have you gone back to Ditchfield? Oh, fuck. After
30:31
all, you're asking me to go back to Ditchfield? No,
30:34
I'm not. The cocking, cocking
30:37
and whipspills. Any relation to
30:39
that? Any
30:42
memories? Oh,
30:44
God. We know that it hasn't got any
30:46
fucking white 4G, you know
30:48
it? Get
30:51
that off. Oh,
30:54
I can see the... I think it was like an
30:57
asylum. And I would keep on seeing that
30:59
on the top of their turn into flats. I've
31:02
had it talk about. Same.
31:06
Well, I can't get... You can't get us there quick enough.
31:10
When we get there, what are we going to talk about? Well,
31:13
me and Nomi, I think me and Nomi had
31:15
a look at a place about 10 years ago.
31:19
Right in the asylum. I
31:21
think so, did we? I think they
31:23
had a little look at a tube bed. Fucking
31:25
hell. Thank
31:28
God. Yeah,
31:35
and it wasn't for us. Perfect.
31:40
Can I do a shout out? Somewhere
31:42
in Brighton. A pillow club. Which you've
31:44
probably been to. I want to do
31:47
a shout out. Do you know the
31:49
place in the lanes? That
31:51
are like three photo booths. No. Have
31:54
you not been there? I think it's called
31:56
photogramic. Photo... And you go in
31:59
and you pay for it. four pounds and you
32:01
can have you know the old-fashioned photo
32:03
booth and then they frame
32:07
it for you if you want it and blow it up and it's
32:10
fantastic. Oh that's nice,
32:12
we should find out what it's called, photo.
32:15
Yeah, what's it called? It's really good. So
32:17
we went in and they're thinking we'll just
32:19
get like four shots and then because
32:21
it's a lot of fun they've got loads
32:23
of dressing up for the boys or not
32:26
so we had loads of photos done and then we got
32:28
one blown up framed in there. Photomatic,
32:32
that's it, it's really good. Photomatic
32:35
in the lanes. Yeah, the
32:38
lanes walk in photo booth emporium
32:40
open 12 to
32:42
5 seven days a week offering studio
32:44
quality spontaneity. It's really
32:46
good, you should go down there. And
32:49
it does look good. Yeah,
32:52
anyway that's a little shower.
32:55
Nice, haven't done one of the phages. There's
32:58
a girl, I've just gone to Instagram and
33:00
she's got her Brighton
33:02
Marathon medal in the photo.
33:05
Yeah. So that's nice. Yeah, so
33:08
you can do one, you've obviously got four shots
33:10
and I think you've got four seconds between each
33:12
flash of the camera. So we did
33:14
one where the boys went in first,
33:16
ran out, next one, ran out, Naomi went
33:18
in, ran out, I went in. Oh, good
33:21
fun. Good fun, really good fun. So
33:23
one more side, that's photo. Photomatic
33:26
in the lane. Yeah,
33:31
always good. And this was
33:33
currently being done on
33:36
the way to Wivelsfield, just reminding
33:38
everyone. Yeah, well we're
33:40
headed to Cookfield now, miles
33:42
away. Now you know who
33:44
lives in Cookfield? No,
33:47
either Trini or Susanna. Oh,
33:50
either or. Yeah. Have
33:53
they got like a shopping channel now or
33:55
something? I don't know.
33:58
I feel like I know them. I don't know why I
34:00
know that. So I'm thinking
34:03
how massive they used to be. I'm not saying they're not
34:05
massive now. Anyway, there you go. I
34:08
mean, I've got charcoal to say it. Wyndham

35:56
Firstly, having watched it.
36:01
But Nomi doing it, I cannot
36:03
believe anyone. I just am so
36:05
impressed with it. Anyone
36:08
who's completed it. Do you know like 0.17%
36:10
of the population of front of Madison? Yeah,
36:13
and Nomi ran past that boy Slim's house and he
36:16
was on the roof of something sharing it, everyone saying
36:18
that very fact. Oh really? Yeah,
36:20
you are the top doodar percentage.
36:22
Oh that's nice. Yeah. I
36:25
found it really inspiring, just
36:28
everyone in it together doing it for
36:30
their own reasons. Yeah. And...
36:34
Yeah. It's a lot of stories behind
36:37
what people are doing. It
36:39
just felt like it was just packed full of
36:41
stuff for us. Yeah. And
36:44
I just thought it was amazing.
36:47
That was amazing. It is,
36:49
it's bonkers and we, obviously I wasn't around but
36:51
we go and support it every year because
36:53
it just feels like it's really important to do.
36:56
That's what we were saying, if we lived in
36:58
Brighton we would definitely be there supporting the group.
37:00
Yeah, yeah. Because Nomi was saying how
37:02
motivating it was to have people shout your name
37:04
or... Oh yeah, yeah. ...clap you. Yeah,
37:07
yeah. It's funny
37:09
because she saw Petra at the point
37:12
I saw her. Yeah. No,
37:14
I don't think she saw her, she heard Petra
37:16
shout. Ah. Because she said to me,
37:19
that many people were shouting No Migg because she
37:21
had her name on there. Yeah, right. Not because
37:23
I knew her but just pointing at her. Yeah,
37:25
that's what I do. She had this voice behind
37:27
saying No Migg, she was like, that's Petra, she
37:29
just knew. Yeah. Yeah. Because
37:32
I know the point where she does it and like
37:34
it and Nomi said it was where she sort of
37:36
hit like the wall or whatever and
37:38
that's where I saw Petra last time. Yeah.
37:40
And it was the water and I was like, it
37:42
sort of looked a bit weird because you sort of
37:44
go, oh god, it's weird. You
37:47
do go, oh, I'm really glad I saw
37:49
you because I've started to feel a bit
37:51
lonely. It's
37:55
a bit of a roller coaster. So, I
37:58
always say that... Oh,
38:01
I'm bollocks. How can he? I'll
38:05
be... Oh, now I can't. Find
38:08
a good spot and talk. We'll talk for
38:10
five minutes, I say. Erm... Have
38:22
you called over? Are you there? Right, I'll
38:25
park it up here. Is that shit? Can
38:27
you hear me? Yeah. Right.
38:32
Cool. What did
38:34
I say? No,
38:38
it wasn't a fight. I wanted to talk to you
38:40
about... So we were at the end...
38:43
Yeah. With Petra and...
38:47
the boys and Mike and Paul and blah blah blah. And
38:49
it was absolutely round. People
38:52
trying to see... Because it was on the
38:54
front this time. It was on the dawns,
38:56
wasn't it? And then we ended because I...
38:58
I didn't know it was normally there. No,
39:00
it's usually down. Maureen prayed further down. So
39:02
it's the first year they've done it there,
39:04
yeah. So... So
39:06
anyway, it was like three or four deep. I
39:08
was like, we're never going to see Naomi coming. But
39:12
we waited there and then about a
39:14
minute or two minutes before... she
39:17
came in, people left. So
39:20
we could go right up to the fencing. Amazing. So
39:24
I saw her come in and we started shouting her name.
39:28
And she kind of looked at us like... sort
39:31
of detached, just kind of... Yeah, yeah. And
39:36
just sort of waved and smiled and carried on.
39:39
I got well emotional. We
39:42
walked all the way round... to
39:44
where you pick up your bags. Yeah. And
39:48
I could see her leaning on this, like,
39:50
fencing. I guess she is, so
39:52
I went in with... see her. She
39:55
just wasn't there. Yeah. She
39:57
looked like she was about to faint. Mm-hmm.
40:00
She said she felt really fucking thick.
40:03
She couldn't talk to me. She
40:05
said the nurse, later on she said the nurse said
40:07
you're in shock. Oh really? Yeah,
40:10
but like when you finish a lot of
40:12
runners apparently experienced this kind of
40:15
shock. It
40:17
was really, I really hate it, it was
40:19
really disturbing. Yes. She then went into
40:21
the medical tent. Oh I didn't know that.
40:24
Yeah, they did it all like once over and within
40:27
about an hour, she was like
40:29
back to normal but that immediate, it
40:31
just reminded me what you said when you finished
40:34
and how you kind of had trauma from it. Yeah,
40:37
yeah. Yeah. Well it's, the
40:40
thing I always think when like texting
40:43
Naomi last night, I would say before,
40:45
by the way, was like
40:49
there's a point where, I
40:51
don't know the medical terms but essentially you run
40:53
out of energy.
40:57
So you've got no, you've got nothing
40:59
to burn. So you're just
41:01
running on empty and it's like, you
41:03
know, you're starting to eat your muscles and
41:05
stuff. You know, your body's sort of like
41:09
looking for nutrients so it'll start
41:11
eating but not fast or
41:13
whatever. You've just got nothing. So it's really,
41:15
it's all probably wrong but basically that. And
41:18
so like 19, 18, 19 miles you've sort of hit that. And
41:25
if I, if I was feeling like that,
41:27
imagine Naomi was in your front hall putting
41:29
her trainers on in that state and
41:31
you said, what are you doing? She said, I'll
41:33
go for a seven mile, eight mile run. You
41:36
go, no you're not. You're at
41:38
your desk door. Yeah.
41:41
You got, you're not going to run for another hour
41:43
and a half, Naomi. That's stupid. Yeah. But
41:45
that's essentially what you're doing and
41:48
it's so past what's
41:51
physically healthy, I think.
41:54
It feels like it. Mm. It's
41:57
so, it's amazing how
41:59
some people. would do it and they seemed
42:01
more or less fine afterwards they'd
42:03
just get the obvious pout beans and
42:05
eggs and there are other people like I
42:07
saw a girl in a medical tent
42:10
and woman said she's just collapsed she's
42:12
just fainted she's just regained consciousness. She
42:14
was not in her 20s. Oh
42:17
my god but when I was the
42:19
thing that always hit me was I
42:22
started to get really bad cramps every like
42:24
500 meters for about a mile
42:26
and a half which was mental but anyway so
42:28
I'm really struggling not feeling
42:31
good at all and you're running
42:33
past not one but quite a few people that
42:35
have collapsed that's what she said
42:37
and you're like going I don't
42:40
think you do that's what she said. Don't have a
42:42
life. You're
42:46
expert at stinging there J. Just do it anyway
42:48
even though it's not really. A
42:54
non-sexual resolution. The first
42:57
one on the pot.
43:00
But yeah there's people
43:02
that look like collapsed and in real
43:04
trouble and you're going past but you're
43:06
not going past feeling healthy you start
43:09
going oh no this is serious this
43:11
is that could be me in the
43:13
mile. Oh my god. Yeah
43:16
that's quite nuts and as you
43:18
say it's not like people
43:21
in who are older than me
43:23
it's like similar age younger yeah
43:25
older and you're like okay they
43:27
they've wiped out that
43:29
could be me because she was about
43:32
we went to see her at like we
43:34
saw her at the start then we saw
43:36
her four or five went see her at
43:38
three or four miles. You can see different
43:40
points can't you? Yeah yeah and then I
43:42
we didn't see her for ages I was like why
43:45
me she's your fella she's being
43:47
quite slow and then I
43:49
looked at the app and that started working
43:51
again she was at seven miles she was
43:53
flying. Oh really? Yeah and
43:57
so I only got to see her like twice at
43:59
the start. and then at 18 miles.
44:01
The trouble is sometimes I think, not
44:04
saying no me, but sometimes you, because
44:06
like you sometimes do, like I did,
44:09
I did over 20 miles on the
44:11
practicing run, practice runs
44:14
or training runs, but
44:16
then I hit the wall 18 because I think you got
44:18
a little bit faster than you expect because you get sort
44:20
of caught up in it. Yeah. So
44:23
that's why you're absolutely buggin. Oh my
44:25
god. You've got a little bit faster
44:27
than maybe you should have done. I
44:34
think she said she'd happily do a
44:36
half marathon again. I'm doing one
44:38
in two weeks, a half I mean,
44:40
but it's quite nice to say like they're
44:50
a real push, you're on that, but when you
44:52
do the mountain you go, oh I think, I
44:54
don't want to put anyone off for doing this by the
44:57
way, I think you should do it because it's such a
44:59
challenge, but I think I'm in
45:01
a worse physical state
45:03
because of it than
45:05
when I done it, whereas in a half
45:07
I go, oh I think that's good for
45:09
me because I've really pushed myself and I'm
45:11
probably physically better off for it, but I
45:14
think the marathon I'm physically worse off
45:16
for having done a marathon. Chris
45:18
marathon you feel? Well like I
45:21
thought I'd
45:23
done myself some damage doing it, like
45:25
because those are my toenails came off
45:27
and I was just, yeah she's got
45:29
three black toenails, yeah they'll come off
45:32
basically and I
45:34
was just like, I was a bit broken for
45:36
a while and I was like that's,
45:39
but it's ahead of an achievement, that's
45:41
why I was so interested in speaking
45:43
to her that evening, that how you get
45:46
on. It's such an achievement,
45:48
anyone who's done it, whenever I
45:51
speak to anyone who's done a marathon always makes
45:53
me go, right, like
45:55
you are whatever it is commitment or
45:59
it's always really It's a
46:01
big old thing to have done. I feel
46:04
like you need that drive as well behind you. Whether
46:07
it be like a personal story or...
46:11
Anyway, okay, two of the most
46:13
straightforward acts we've ever done I
46:15
think. Easily
46:21
explainable, this pod. You
46:24
can get bangs on your back. I
46:27
don't know, sound quality wiser. Well,
46:30
good luck James. Oh,
46:32
a few stings in there that
46:35
had it out. Alright. Alright,
46:37
well, greater or less. Yeah,
46:39
brilliant. Good
46:45
God. This will be on your,
46:48
this is your pod life, this little section. Well,
46:51
you're the one doing it anyway, do you
46:53
remember having it? Sure.
46:55
Yeah, oh yeah. Sure. Anyway,
47:01
off to the lift. Oh God.
47:04
Alright, well, have a nice drive home. Alright. Take
47:06
care. Bye. Bye.
