to disagree? Locked here in his cellar.

0:23

1:54

Bob Fleming. Better

1:58

clear that. Lovely. So

2:01

I've been working on a jingle John.

2:03

A jingle John? A jingle John, yeah. We

2:06

call them jingle Johns. For what? I

2:09

don't know. You'll have to write a tune. It's

2:11

something like, if you've got

2:14

a fork or spade and

2:17

container you have made,

2:19

gather some things that

2:21

you like, a cuddly

2:23

toy, a childhood bike,

2:26

add the thing that I would

2:28

expect you would want

2:30

to most forget. That's

2:33

the way to turn the

2:35

past into my time capsule podcast.

2:39

Not a bad tune. I made that one up.

2:42

Fine. No problem. It's a

2:44

longer jingle, jingle, jingle John. It's

2:46

a longer jingle John, but it's all right.

2:49

Yeah. Well maybe we should actually record some

2:51

of these and use them on the podcast. I

2:54

mean advertising. Yeah.

2:57

We'll do our own sponsorship adverts, but we're

2:59

sponsoring ourselves. I think it's a

3:01

good idea. Why not? It

3:03

could become a thing. Well it

3:05

sounds like it's a lot more work. It does all

3:08

those really good clever little jingles and songs and all

3:10

that. Adam Buxton. Yeah. I

3:12

wonder. We've always wanted him as a

3:14

guest, haven't we? We've got close a couple of times.

3:17

One day I'm sure we will talk to him. I

3:19

hope so. It would be lovely. I'm

3:21

going to ask him if all that comes from Radioactive

3:24

because he would be of the age. We

3:27

used to do lots of silly jingles on

3:29

Radioactive and I wonder, I just wonder, wouldn't

3:31

it be lovely? It's possible,

3:33

but I mean having listened

3:35

to his audio book, Autobiography, he doesn't

3:37

mention that at all. I

3:39

don't know. I don't know why he would, but I don't know. We'll

3:42

see. We'll see. When

3:44

we get him on, you can ask him and be embarrassed when

3:46

he says, no, I've never heard of that. What

3:48

is that? It's a comedy

3:50

programme. No, never heard of it. Who

3:53

are you? Do you think that's what will happen? No, it

3:55

doesn't matter. Anyway, it's

3:58

a big week this week. Media night.

4:01

Right. To not talk about the podcast, but

4:03

to talk about Wicked. Sure. Yeah, media night

4:06

for Wicked this week. But the press are

4:08

coming on Thursday, and so are you, John.

4:13

So am I, yes, I'm coming. For the second time,

4:15

I went the other day as well. I know. Twice

4:17

in a week. Matt, seeing it twice in

4:19

a week. I know. Yeah, hopefully I'm not going to be bored.

4:22

Second time. Well, I hope so, no. Oh, something's

4:25

going wrong. Yeah, well, you know what happens now.

4:28

You've seen it. But Cowsey's coming.

4:32

Thanks for the reaction. Oh, did you hear what

4:34

I said? Sorry, you went completely, no, I

4:37

didn't. You went completely silent for ages. You froze, and

4:39

then you went out. Yeah, so did you. That's

4:41

weird, isn't it? What time is it? No,

4:45

nothing mysterious about that. No,

4:50

I just thought, you know, if it was 10.10 or something, then

4:52

don't people say those sort of times when

4:54

things happen. 11.11 is fine. Yeah.

4:59

Danny Robbins, we could get in touch with him and

5:01

say, 10 minutes past 10, Danny said,

5:03

no, that's not the time. That's the one. No. That's

5:06

nothing. That means nothing. Slow internet connection.

5:08

Yeah, that's what it is. In our

5:10

own house, John. Yeah, I know. But

5:12

not your house, my house. Yeah, I

5:14

know. We're both on the same internet.

5:16

That's probably why it's slow. We've

5:20

run out of internet. Yeah, Cowsey is coming.

5:23

That's what I said. Oh, yes.

5:26

That's nice. Oh, I can say hello to her. Or if she sees me,

5:28

she can say hello to me. Yeah. Yeah,

5:31

absolutely. That's her childhood

5:33

nickname, isn't it? That's what they said. Yeah, it

5:35

was Cowsey, wasn't it? Yeah. Although I, E,

5:38

as in pie, would suggest that

5:40

possibly it was Cow-Shy. Cow-Shy. Because

5:42

she's Cow-Shy. And we got it wrong to begin with,

5:44

and she didn't want to correct us. We've said it

5:46

all along, and she's never ever had the nerve to

5:48

say, no, you're saying my name wrong. But

5:51

if we are saying it wrong, then please do

5:53

get in touch. Well, you should

5:55

do it. Get in touch on Thursday night

5:57

when it comes on. Go, it's

5:59

Cow-Shy. shy as

6:02

he comes on stage in the middle of the show.

6:04

And I'll say, oh, I'm so sorry. I do apologize.

6:08

Yes. But you can get in

6:10

touch with us by emailing us

6:12

at my time capture podcast at

6:14

Gmail dot com. Yes. My.

6:17

Yeah. And when you

6:19

do come along, Kaoshi, just be warned that

6:22

he does an American accent because my kids

6:24

didn't know that and they were quite surprised

6:26

when he started speaking on her,

6:29

what's he doing? What's

6:32

he doing? A plenty character. They

6:34

just they weren't expecting it. Neither was my wife

6:36

and she was quite taken aback as well. Well,

6:40

that's good. But he

6:43

is he does have an American accent in

6:45

the film. He's the one character that is

6:47

in a way from the film. Yeah.

6:49

Yeah. Apart from

6:51

the two witches who she

6:54

doesn't say, hey, I'm your little your little

6:56

dog, too. She doesn't sound like that. No,

6:59

she doesn't know. There's one

7:01

moment where she's she does a bit, but

7:04

I don't know. Anyway, come and see it. If you want to find out

7:06

what goes on or don't, I don't

7:08

mind. You can you probably go and see the film

7:11

later this year, which is much easier. Much

7:13

easier. It's like when people say, oh, have you read the

7:16

book? I know I've seen the film. It's fine. I don't

7:18

need to read the book anymore. Yeah, don't need to. It's

7:20

all in there. I've covered it all in two

7:22

hours. Yeah.

7:24

So have we had anybody in touch with

7:26

us? We've had some fantastic guests this week,

7:29

haven't we? Yes, I think so. Yeah.

7:32

We've had Carol Drinkwater, who

7:35

was a fantastic actress. I suppose still

7:37

is a fantastic actress. Just doesn't do

7:39

much actressing anymore. No,

7:42

because she lives in France. Lives in

7:44

France and she writes very

7:47

successful books and seems to have the most

7:49

fantastic life. You know, she's got sort

7:51

of a cottage attached to her house.

7:53

Yeah, I saw it on her website.

7:56

Yeah, looks nice, isn't it? Yeah.

7:58

With a view of the. of

8:00

the coast near Cannes. Yeah the Bay of Cannes

8:02

didn't you say oh I'm sitting here looking out

8:04

over the Bay of Cannes. God it sounds amazing.

8:06

Doesn't it Joss? Yeah. Hello. Very

8:09

very jealous. So yeah maybe maybe I'll get

8:11

in touch with her and say how much

8:13

is that for a couple of weeks although

8:16

you know I don't get that much holiday. I

8:18

do get the holiday. Strange thing

8:21

isn't it working in the theatre and getting

8:23

holiday. It's never happened before. No. No

8:25

normally they they you do the job and you do the whole length

8:28

of the thing and at the end of it they give you money

8:30

in lieu of the fact that you would

8:33

have had holiday if you'd been properly employed.

8:35

Oh right. So this one you actually get

8:37

holidays. You have to book a holiday. Nice.

8:39

Yeah she was lovely. I like

8:41

talking to her. Fantastic.

8:44

I mean you can tell she's a wordsmith at

8:46

a writer. She had

8:48

a really engaging and skillful

8:50

way of talking I thought. Especially the way

8:53

she spoke about her house and the garden

8:55

and things like that. That was really nice

8:57

of it. I suppose and

8:59

she writes about that a lot doesn't she? They're

9:02

called what they call the Olive something

9:04

chronicles. Well I think they're called the

9:07

Olive Farm. Yeah. Serial of

9:09

books. Yeah so she's

9:11

obviously used to describing about that all about

9:13

where she lives so she just comes very

9:15

naturally. I suppose so yeah. Don't

9:17

you think she was quoting or do you think?

9:19

No I don't. I just think. No I don't.

9:21

No. No. She's just used to talking about it. Yeah

9:25

so she was lovely and also Georgina

9:28

Hayden who's a fantastic food

9:30

writer and food expert and

9:33

designer of dishes and all sorts of

9:35

things. She made up loads of dishes

9:37

for Jamie Oliver's books and his restaurants

9:40

and stuff. She worked with him for 12 years

9:42

and now does it for

9:44

herself and her books. Sorry the phlegm's

9:46

still there. Bob. Bob phlegm. Lovely.

9:50

Lovely. This is the Bob Fleming

9:53

episode. Yeah she

9:55

writes. Her books are fantastic and I

9:57

enjoyed talking to her about Cyprus which

9:59

where she's her family come from. The

10:03

design of the book is fabulous and she

10:05

also told such lovely

10:07

stories, really sort of romantic and

10:09

funny and exciting about her

10:11

youth and then about falling in love and

10:14

everything and then told the most extraordinary story

10:16

about losing a child

10:19

that she never got to have

10:21

really. I mean she carried it over. It's

10:23

a really upsetting and sad

10:25

story but she tells it in such a

10:28

way that it's really uplifting I think about

10:30

her son Archie or Archimedes.

10:33

Great name. Great. Yeah,

10:36

I think a lot

10:38

of people will relate to that and

10:40

not necessarily losing a baby at

10:43

full term but so many people, what did she

10:45

say, one in four pregnancies ended in miscarriage. It's

10:47

a very, very common thing that people will really

10:49

relate to I think to listening to it. Yeah,

10:52

absolutely and I think that we ought to talk

10:54

about more because clearly

10:56

only recently they pass that law that actually

10:59

it is to be classified as having had

11:01

a loss, isn't it now?

11:04

Well, it was a miscarriage and that doesn't

11:06

count. Basically you can get now, can't you?

11:08

Yeah, good. I've

11:11

got a little clip actually of after you, we

11:14

finish the podcast and you go, oh great, thank you

11:16

for coming on Ladi Dar. And then you

11:18

sort of have a little, it's always a Ladi

11:20

Dar in there. A little Ladi Dar, yeah. You

11:22

have a little chat afterwards and

11:24

she does, you do speak briefly about

11:27

Archie and that but yeah, I thought

11:29

that'd be interesting for people to hear

11:31

what happens after the show finishes. Okay.

11:34

Here's the little clip. Do I start talking to American

11:36

accent? You should do from the future and

11:38

then go, sorry guys, oh hey, I'm so

11:40

tiring putting on that French accent. I

11:44

don't know how you brids to it. Oh,

11:48

here we go. Here's the clip. Okay,

11:50

good luck with the book. I look forward to reading

11:53

it. Thank you, I'll send you one. There

11:57

we are. Thank you. Oh, that

11:59

was great. Well, thank me, I

12:01

just had to sit here and listen to you.

12:03

You were just fabulous. Oh,

12:05

bless you. I'm not surprised they've picked you

12:07

up. It's wonderful. I love the fact that

12:09

your career has been that sort of, you

12:11

know, well, we'll see where it goes and

12:13

see what happens in the overtime. And then

12:15

you get to a certain point and people

12:17

suddenly go, she's really good, you know, she's

12:19

really good at this. It's

12:22

lovely to have that discovered in life,

12:24

I think. Do you know what it is? You

12:26

know, like I said, I'm in my fourth season, it's quite nice. It

12:28

feels like a very natural, like I never went out wanting to be

12:30

like, you know, well known or whatever. I just always

12:32

wanted to write books, but I really enjoyed this part of it. And

12:34

it's just really, I get to meet people like the self, which

12:36

is such an honour, but also just what,

12:39

you know, what a nice, what a nice time I have. What

12:41

a lovely time. I know. We must count our

12:43

blessings. Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Can you

12:45

please take a photo to put on when it's

12:47

when it's. Yeah, yeah. Here

12:49

we go. That's me. Look, here I am. Amazing.

12:52

Thank you so much. Thank you so much. It was

12:54

really lovely to hear about Archie. Yeah.

12:59

And you know, yeah, I think that day will

13:01

stick with me as well. I will think of you on the

13:03

20th. That's really kind. Thank you for letting me speak about it.

13:05

I was at this 10 this year and I wanted to sort

13:07

of feel like I want to talk about it a bit. So

13:09

thank you very much for giving me the space to do

13:11

that. No, no, fabulous. All right. Keep well. See

13:15

you soon. Bye. Bye.

13:18

Bye. There

13:20

we go. Yeah. She

13:23

was lovely. I liked her a lot. It's

13:25

a very strange thing, the whole process of

13:27

going through this thing of talking to people,

13:29

in fact, meeting people. Within

13:32

minutes, we're talking about really

13:34

important things to them. And

13:37

the speed with which people become

13:39

quite free about

13:42

what they're talking about is always

13:44

a bit astonishing. Some

13:47

people, I can feel that they don't want to

13:49

do that. And therefore, I will talk to them

13:51

for quite a long time before we actually get

13:53

going on the things that they've chosen.

13:56

You can sort of sense when somebody is not

13:58

at ease. to,

14:00

if I can feel that, I'll talk to them

14:03

for a long time, just me talking mostly. Yeah.

14:05

Like I do on this podcast. Yeah. I just

14:07

wrap it away about things until

14:10

clearly they thought, you know, I thought it was supposed

14:12

to be me talking. And then by the time I

14:14

shut up, they're keen to talk. Yeah.

14:16

And they're relaxed into it then. Yeah,

14:19

I hope so. But that's

14:21

the stuff that I cut out usually. Yeah,

14:23

yeah. Yeah. But they, you should

14:26

be receiving her book within the next couple

14:28

of days. She wanted to send you a

14:30

copy and the publisher is sending it to

14:32

you. Oh, lovely. Lovely.

14:34

Because you know what a great cook I

14:36

am, John. I'm never out of the kitchen.

14:38

Yeah, you can pass that on to your

14:40

wife because she loves a recipe book. Well,

14:42

yes. You know what you're

14:44

getting for Christmas? Wicked t-shirts. Yeah. I got a

14:46

book the other day. I've got one

14:49

of our future guests is coming up. One

14:51

of our future guests. Thank goodness one of our future

14:53

guests is coming up because I spoke

14:56

to him in person and used my phone

14:58

and my Tascam little HD

15:00

recorder. My

15:03

phone was on silent and therefore didn't

15:05

record. And my Tascam

15:07

I realized about five minutes into

15:09

the conversation was on standby. And

15:12

if I hadn't realized that we would have done

15:14

the whole conversation and recorded

15:16

nothing. How much did you

15:19

actually miss? Did you had you started properly?

15:21

We had started so I'm going to have

15:23

to in the intro say this is what

15:25

he chose as his first thing. And

15:27

this is him talking about it halfway

15:29

through what we were talking about. I'm

15:32

going to have to describe what he said. What

15:35

he was talking about. It's never

15:37

happened before. Makes it unique. Well,

15:40

you could send him a message and say the

15:42

blooming thing didn't start recording for a couple of

15:44

minutes after we started. If you want to just

15:47

go on Zoom and say, Hey, my first thing

15:49

is this, then you're welcome. I

15:51

could do. Yeah. Perhaps

15:54

I'll try that. Okay. Yeah. Well,

15:56

we'll find out. People now know it's a him. Yeah. But

15:59

when it goes in. out people will quickly

16:01

work it out. Yeah,

16:04

yes I think so. But we are

16:06

coming swiftly up only four days away

16:08

to our four

16:10

year anniversary of when we filmed our first

16:12

episode. You were a babe in arms when

16:15

this started. It was amazing how I managed

16:17

to do all that producing, isn't it? Amazing.

16:21

Couldn't even speak. I've

16:23

been talking, talking, talking. Four

16:26

years. It doesn't feel

16:28

like four years. So four years was

16:30

before the podcast, no, before

16:32

podcasts were invented. That's right, isn't it? Yeah.

16:36

What? Four years ago, we invented

16:38

podcasts. Oh yeah, that was right, yeah. When we

16:40

put ours out, that's when the whole thing

16:42

kicked off. When that's a good idea. Oh, and

16:44

then off they went. All those other

16:46

people. All those other people who did much better than we did.

16:52

Well, you know, I think of

16:54

myself as a guru. I did have an

16:56

email the other day from the British Podcast

16:58

Awards. Did you? Saying, who

17:00

are you? Now open for entries and I

17:02

thought, oh, we'll have a look again. It's

17:04

something like 250 quid to enter. We're

17:07

not going to do that. No. Too

17:09

much. Just to give them 250 quids so they can

17:12

have a party and not

17:14

have us going along. We've

17:17

applied before and we, you know, nothing's happened.

17:19

So you send them a lovely party

17:21

and they're famous people who make podcasts

17:24

have all been invited and they've

17:27

all won the awards and all those podcasts

17:29

that are basically heavily pushed

17:31

by the BBC on their own television

17:33

programmes and radio programmes, which they don't

17:35

do advertising on the BBC apart

17:37

from everybody's podcast. That's

17:41

a bitter note. They live just a little bit of

17:43

a bitter note from a man who

17:45

has to desperately try and get people

17:47

to listen. Yeah.

17:50

And now there are several podcasts

17:52

on the BBC, which are

17:56

slightly familiar, I think. Oh,

17:58

well. But then, you know. You could argue that

18:00

ours is slightly familiar in the sense that it's

18:02

a little bit like Desert Island Discs, so let's

18:04

not make a fuss about it, John. People do

18:06

say... Don't go on about it, John. People say

18:08

no, a bit like Desert Island Discs and Room

18:10

101, they say. No, no, not like that. No,

18:14

no, no, completely unique idea. Nobody else

18:16

has thought of combining those two things.

18:20

Anyway, it's not about music. We don't choose music. No,

18:23

what people can do. Would you like an email? Yes,

18:26

I would like an email. Okay, we've

18:28

got one from Lorna Symes. Oh,

18:30

lovely. Hello, Mike and John. I hope you're both doing...

18:32

Is that how she talks? This

18:34

is how you do an impersonation. I'm doing a brilliant impersonation.

18:36

Wow. I

18:39

hope you're both doing grand. I have a quick question for

18:41

Mike about Wicked. Mm-hmm. You're

18:43

in the show for a year, which is brilliant for

18:46

us audience members. See you in four weeks. Ha ha.

18:50

But I wondered how actors like yourself managed to

18:52

keep it feeling fresh when you're performing it eight

18:54

times a week. Do you

18:56

have any rituals or routines that you employ to

18:58

keep up both your stamina and enthusiasm for a

19:00

show? Hmm. Yeah,

19:03

I always go through it vocally

19:07

in the dressing room before I get there.

19:09

So I say every line and

19:11

think about the line while I'm saying it.

19:14

So I give myself a little prethought

19:17

of, is that really the way I should say it?

19:20

Perhaps I should say it this way. And then I

19:22

have ideas of, you know, there are a thousand

19:25

ways to say a line. And

19:28

you can make little slight variations in them.

19:30

And those little variations as

19:32

the performer seem big. The

19:35

audience probably would watch, you'll watch it

19:38

again, John, and say, it's doing exactly

19:40

the same performance. But I'll

19:42

feel as if it's different

19:44

every time. Yeah. So that's what

19:46

I like. And of course, it

19:49

is different every time because a person who's talking

19:51

to you says they're lying in a slightly different

19:53

way or at a different speed Or

19:55

they where they pause, they don't pause. And That

19:58

makes a big difference. So In fact, that's. Isn't

20:01

it is different every time not

20:03

enormously at is the same was

20:06

mostly with of the assistant director

20:08

wanted up to me that i've

20:10

been saying a like wrong with

20:12

since we started some and i

20:14

on what you tell me before

20:17

i did they noticed me but

20:19

i've been saying the wrong word

20:21

and a now now I don't.

20:24

Which word is that? Well I said

20:26

that. The word I now say is

20:28

wells. A cow wells He

20:31

eluded us. And I

20:33

said. Saw how easily

20:35

she's new to this point

20:37

if tissue? And. That's.

20:39

Why did make any sense at this point

20:42

the whole show stop making sense. Yeah every

20:44

once you say what you say what's that

20:46

rubbish dollars with ruin the whole thing they'll

20:48

forget it's have a longer that some that

20:51

sort of what it is. It's a strange

20:53

as physicists mental trick that you play on

20:55

yourself the idea that you are doing it.

20:57

but there's also a lot of routine is

21:00

it in a particular time when you start

21:02

getting ready and if he doesn't happen at

21:04

that time he gets pretty panicky kissing so

21:06

know about behind. I'm not doing much what

21:09

I always do. Gym and it did

21:11

go to certain places you stand seven place

21:13

you standards and point of that you move

21:15

you know it's all very it's a very

21:18

mechanical lot of it as he what you

21:20

have to do. You. So

21:22

M. D Capello particular keep and

21:24

some things are lucky Lucky pen absolutely since

21:26

and from three times fault and then spit

21:28

in in all those lucky things he really

21:31

should. I wish those one day in under

21:33

never again and a larger than and the

21:35

dinner why do that on stage at a

21:37

very embarrassing. That they

21:40

you are a rings we good luck. And

21:43

seats it's finishes with as ever. still loving

21:45

all the My Time Capsule episodes. Ungrateful. You

21:47

can keep it going amongst the mayhem of

21:50

Wicked. His yeah

21:52

my me but. we

21:54

had a good week last week of

21:56

the dots recordings man was busy busy

21:58

busy busy week yeah And for the people who

22:00

are doing Wicked, they did understudy rehearsals,

22:02

full runs of the show. So

22:05

last week, I think some people in the show did

22:08

it about 10 or 11 times

22:10

in the week, which is exhausting, isn't

22:12

it? Yeah. They are amazing. It's

22:15

an amazing show. They're an amazing bunch of people.

22:17

And it's a joy to be working

22:19

with such fantastically talented people. Yeah.

22:23

So that's what keeps you going, really, is every time you turn

22:25

up, you just say, look at these. Look

22:27

what they can do. It's amazing. Yeah. I

22:30

like the Emerald City People's

22:32

Costumes. They're very good. Amazing, aren't

22:34

they? Yeah. Fabulous. That's

22:37

my favorite bit. Yeah. That's where I

22:39

stand in the wings and sing along with my mic turned

22:42

down, obviously. I know. Yeah.

22:45

Who knows? Who knows? So that's

22:47

it. That's what I do. But

22:49

you know, the same thing, you

22:51

could argue that doing this podcast is doing the

22:54

same thing over and over again. You're just talking

22:56

to people about you would think the

22:58

same thing, but they're never the same. It's

23:00

never the same. And so just occasionally

23:02

I catch myself saying something. I think,

23:05

well, I say that almost every time.

23:08

Yeah. And it's sort

23:10

of a part of the habit of it. Yeah.

23:13

And I think, oh, I should change that. Perhaps I shouldn't

23:15

say that. But I don't know. Maybe

23:18

those little familiar bits are

23:20

what people are like. It's funny how

23:22

just small things can affect you as well, isn't

23:24

it? Like ages ago when

23:26

somebody wrote a review

23:29

and said, just stop saying brilliant

23:31

all the time. So now it

23:34

may, I'm very conscious. If I hear you

23:36

saying brilliant, I'm like, oh, maybe I should

23:38

take that out because somebody once said, don't

23:40

say brilliant. I mean, it's

23:42

as a reaction to that. About

23:46

50 people said, I like you saying brilliant.

23:48

I like the fact that you think it's

23:50

brilliant. You clearly do think it's brilliant. And

23:53

I do when people tell me great stories

23:55

or amazing things. I

23:58

can't think of another word. Brilliant.

24:00

Okay, let's move on to the next bit. Yeah.

24:02

And it is, I'm excited by it. It

24:05

is funny though, isn't it, those little things? As long as no one

24:07

tells you how many times you say the word, Wow, then we'll be

24:09

alright. Hahaha. That's

24:12

my reaction. That's me instead of going,

24:14

Fuck me. I

24:17

go, Wow. I

24:20

don't think I ever said, Wow, in

24:22

my real life before that. Before I started

24:24

recording this. And it's become something I do say

24:26

a lot. I know. I'm aware of it.

24:30

That's alright. Wow.

24:35

Again, it's sort of the same thing as brilliant.

24:37

It's nice. Yeah. Yes, don't worry

24:39

about it. I'm not worried. You

24:42

shouldn't worry about it. I'm

24:44

really not worried. I

24:46

would only be something I worry about if

24:48

people went on about it. Don't

24:50

go on about it either. Because if you go on about

24:52

it, then you're going to start to worry about it. And

24:54

you'll realise that you're saying it about 50 times a show.

24:56

And that you need to stop saying it. No, you're not.

25:00

Wow. Okay,

25:02

moving on. Okay, we've got an

25:05

email. Another email from

25:07

the Cornish man himself. Darren

25:10

Feuent. He says,

25:12

Dear, it's mytimecapsulepodcast.gmail.com That's

25:14

Will Mike Interrupt John

25:16

before he finishes singing

25:18

this [email protected] No.

25:21

No. He said, I've

25:23

just finished writing the foreword to the My Time

25:26

Capsule Podcast Cookery Book. Foreword? Which

25:28

foredish is foreword? Foreword?

25:31

It's called a foreword. Is

25:33

it? When you go forward, and say you

25:35

spell it F-O-R-E. I

25:38

assumed it was the foreword, the bit before the thing

25:40

is the word that you say before. Well, that's it,

25:42

really. I mean, it is. That's why the

25:44

word is formed into that. It is

25:46

the words before. But

25:49

it's called a foreword. Okay. Well, I just

25:51

have always read it. I think it's because

25:54

I am disliked. Really? But that's

25:56

just how it looked to me. And now we're actually

25:58

looking at it, yeah. I'm wrong. I'm completely

26:00

wrong. No, but you're not.

26:02

You're not. You are right.

26:04

It is the for word, but

26:06

the before word, but it's

26:09

people have developed it into saying,

26:11

it's like saying chumly instead of

26:13

chum-ondly. Well, I won't be

26:15

saying that. You would never say that. No. Well,

26:18

only a fool would say that. Okay. Oh, I've said

26:20

it. Hang on. Right. He

26:23

carries on which four dishes am I absolutely putting

26:25

in and which one am I definitely not including?

26:28

Don't let the fact he said, don't let the fact

26:30

that I'm cordish influence your decisions. I

26:34

spoke to somebody from Cornwall yesterday, Darren,

26:37

and you'll be delighted to know that

26:39

one of the things that they chose

26:42

was exactly that. That

26:44

nice. So look forward to that coming up soon. A

26:47

very, very sweet man. And yeah,

26:49

from Cornwall. No. Yeah.

26:52

Well, everybody, everybody is from Cornwall. Very

26:54

few people go to. That's

26:58

got me in trouble. Yeah. I

27:00

go every year. Well, this is a coincidence. I

27:02

think that he's written this because we have had

27:04

a cookbook writer on the podcast on

27:06

Monday and he wrote this before Monday. So that's

27:10

very well worked out. It's

27:13

a synchronicity. It's happening. A

27:15

bit of psychic something going

27:17

on. I'm going to ring Danny Robbins. 10

27:20

past 10. Amazing. Have you got

27:23

any, it's half past now. Have you got any

27:25

dishes that you would absolutely put in the cookbook?

27:28

We put in some cream

27:31

tea, but we

27:33

put the cream first. Oh,

27:36

no, don't say it. Don't

27:38

you dare. Yes,

27:40

obviously, put your cream on top

27:42

of your scone. Well,

27:45

the cream is like the butter, isn't it, in my

27:48

brain? So you wouldn't put jam and butter on top,

27:50

would you? I know this is

27:52

terrible. I'm sorry, Darren, but this is big

27:54

trouble. It's just how my brain works with

27:56

it. That's it. Never mind. I'd

27:58

like to talk about the fastest cake. in the world. Scott.

28:04

So what's your favorite dishes to put in? You got any dishes

28:06

you like? For you it

28:08

would probably be some very basic things. It

28:11

would be shepherd's pie. Yep. And that's

28:13

about it. Shepherd's pie.

28:15

Yeah that would be

28:17

that would do it. Obviously you know

28:20

other pies, real pies. So

28:22

sort of steak and kidney pie. Also

28:24

a pie is a bit like a capsule isn't

28:27

it? So you can, what would you put in

28:29

your time pie? Oh we've done

28:31

that joke before haven't we? I've just

28:33

remembered when we had the pork

28:35

pies. Yes. We

28:38

still do. By the way people who are new

28:40

because I looked the other day and we've actually got quite a few new

28:43

listeners to this. They have a clue what

28:45

we're talking about. So these are all

28:48

for you know this is episode 35 I think is

28:50

it? And so it goes on we you

28:52

know there's lots of things going back that you might have

28:54

to listen to all of them to work out what they're

28:56

doing going on about it. Don't do it. It might

28:59

be interesting. Listen to all of them. It's

29:01

madness. This is what it is I'm afraid. We

29:04

thought that we'd be really clever and do a little

29:06

special debrief and we were

29:08

talking great detail about the stuff and give

29:10

away a few secrets but in fact it's just us

29:12

two rambling on about

29:15

nothing. Yeah all the interesting things

29:17

we had to say about the podcast. We finished

29:20

them in the first two episodes and

29:22

then the rest of it is just

29:24

the same really. Yep. Hey

29:27

ho. Shall we just sit in

29:29

silence John? I think some people

29:32

may prefer that. You've got a

29:34

fork or spade and container you

29:36

have made. Come

29:38

on everyone join in. You all know by now. The

29:40

tune's changed I think. Yeah I'm sure it has. It

29:43

does every time. Right

29:46

well then I have to get on with things.

29:49

I'm going to record

29:51

the introduction to this week's episode

29:54

for Friday which is

29:56

a special one because it's our birthday. We

29:58

won't tell you how. how it's special.

30:01

So I hope you enjoy listening to that. And

30:04

it will be disappointed when you get surprised.

30:07

Yes. And you'll go, well, that's not

30:09

very special. They say

30:11

it was special. Shame. Yeah. So

30:15

we now have the backward,

30:19

which is goodbye. Yeah. Goodbye.
