More at uh1.com. Over

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

presented by Walmart, on Spotify, or wherever you

0:44

get your podcasts. Part

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

got two bars! I've

23:01

got two bars! Can we get it

23:03

to four? For

23:06

the good of the pod. I had trouble

23:08

with the weather. Teddy!

23:17

You've got to be honest. You've

23:20

got to be honest. Check,

23:24

check, check, check, check. Where

23:29

are you driving, Tawes? Does it have signal? Well,

23:32

I was going to show you a little lane

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

I talk about London, America quickly because you've

done it. Brighton, America. Brighton, America.

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.
