SPEAKER_01

And a very warm welcome to yet another scintillating episode in this extraordinary series of a jolly good natu over coffee and biscuits. I bet you never thought we'd keep going this long, did you? Did you? Well, I mean he's quite old and lacking energy, so that probably explains why you thought we were going to give up after the first one or two. But I knew we were in it for the long haul. So thanks to all of you who've been sticking with us and watching all these fantastic episodes.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, thank you.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, now listen, I've got to tell you, if you watch these uh episodes frequently, you'll know that usually we tend to start by saying something like, uh, oh, what have you been doing since we last spoke? Or you say to me, What have you been doing since we last spoke? But this time, ladies and gentlemen, this time, we have some joint news. We have joint news, don't we?

SPEAKER_02

We do.

SPEAKER_01

We do, we have joint news. Shall we tell them what you want to tell them or shall I tell them?

SPEAKER_04

You go ahead. Oh, you're too kind.

SPEAKER_01

I will tell you then, since you asked so nicely, our joint news is this. You will be aware that I have been nominated for a reality TV award, following on from the whole Big Brother series, which is extremely exciting. And the awards ceremony is coming up on July the 29th, which is a Wednesday night, um, which we are looking forward to at this moment, but depending when you're watching this episode, we might have already done it. And we had a lovely time, didn't we?

SPEAKER_02

We did.

SPEAKER_01

We did. Yes. Anyway, the news is that um having been invited to the ceremony as one of the nominees, I was also told I could bring a guest with me. And I just couldn't think of who to take.

SPEAKER_04

I know I'm still waiting for the invite.

SPEAKER_01

But anyway, so I asked him, and he said he would. Alright, so we're both going to be there, ladies and gents. We're both going to be there on that red carpet, waving at the photographers and having photographs taken and feeling like celebrities for the whole ten seconds it takes us to get from the car to the door of the place. Yes. It will be wonderful. It will. It will.

SPEAKER_04

Do you want to let them know what channel, because it's on a streaming, a streaming platform that you can watch it just to let you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, it's not on terrestrial TV, uh, but it will be shown live on uh on I should say online streaming platform, and it's called Channel 1. That's all in capital letters, channel 1 TV. Um, when you go looking for it, watch out, because there is a channel one TV streaming thing in Ghana of all places. Now it's not the Ghana one, alright, so don't get mixed up. It's the other one isn't Ghana. All right, just so just so you know.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, and it's on uh Wednesday, July the 24th, starting at six o'clock. Yeah, yeah, so there we go. Um, and we're looking forward to it very much. I'll tell you what, I've got a little bit of uh little bit of angst about this. I have.

SPEAKER_04

Oh well, it's out of the listeners.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, well, you see, I was just starting to allow myself the luxury of thinking, I've been hearing so many people saying, we voted for you, we voted for you, and I was just starting to think, oh, I wonder whether I wonder whether there is actually a chance. Um but initially there were 12 names in my category, and I've noticed there are now 15. And one of the new ones, I've noticed, has a very high online following. So I don't know, but I mean anyone can push a button and say follow. Whether they really do follow is another question. Um, but but we'll see. We'll see, we'll see, we'll see.

SPEAKER_04

Sure. But the good thing is we're gonna go there for experience, it'll be nice just to see all these other people who have made it in the industry or one or and they get to meet us.

SPEAKER_01

That's true. If you're watching this and it's before July 29th, would you please consider voting if you haven't done so already? Now we'll put the um web address just down below uh on the in the text there, but here it is anyway. If you're so keen and just can't wait, it's called this is all one word by the way, national realitytvawards.co.uk forward slash voting. Do you want to repeat that for the for the listeners?

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I will then. It's nationalrealitytv awards.co dot uk forward slash voting. And once you're in there, just scroll down to channel uh category 10 and you'll see my name when you put a dot and uh and click submit, and that's it. Have you voted for me?

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

Well I don't want you to lie, I just want you to do it.

SPEAKER_04

To be honest, I have so many other things, I'll just keep forgetting. I'll just keep forgetting. Hey, look, I'm gonna be there on the 29th as moral support for you. You are, it is very interesting, yes. And you already know what you're gonna say in your speech already.

SPEAKER_01

Well well, if I get the chance to deliver it, yes.

SPEAKER_02

I'm very interested.

SPEAKER_04

So that'll be quite interesting. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll be good, it'll be good, it'll be good. It'll be an interesting experience.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, looking forward to it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Now, in other news, I've got more news, you know. I was asked to do an interview, a live breakfast show interview on Premier Radio. Oh, yes, I'm around that. Yeah. And it was like a 10-minute thing, live on one of the breakfast shows. And they've been back in touch with me recently and asked me to do another one. But this time it's going to be an extended one. 50 minutes, they told me. 50 minutes. Um, and it will be live again, but they'll record it and kind of put it in their archive so people can go and listen to it whenever they like. Um, and it's coming up. It's next Tuesday. What date is next Tuesday? 21st, I think. Right, there you go. So if you're hearing this before the 21st of July, then on the 21st of July, 10am, I'll be there on Premier Radio doing an extended interview. Um the first one, the 10-minute thing, of course, it was all very compact, couldn't talk about very much, but going to go into a lot more detail this time. So that's that. Fantastic. It's very exciting. You remember that one of my uh dear friends, Fabio, Fabio Fernandez, who has appeared on as a guest on one of our shows, and uh he is going to be recording um very soon now, it's only 10 days away from now, uh, recording a new album, which is going to be made up entirely of music that I have written, especially for him, and I went around to see him just yesterday to hear some of it, and it's going to be very good. I can't wait, I can't wait. However, before even we get there, he has just released his first album, which is a miscellaneous selection of all kinds of things, but it includes two of my pieces on there. And when I went to see him, he gave me my own personal copy. Look, here it is. Ta-da! It's called the Guitarist Prayer, that's the album title, which is actually the name of one of my. I don't know exactly how much closer I need to. But that's fine, yeah. Okay. Now here's the tantalizing bit, ladies and gentlemen. It's not available yet because he's doing his launch concert in October, and that's when it will officially become available. But you see, I've got one already. Ha ha! It's who you know, and it's on my to-do list to listen. But you don't need to panic. I will make sure I take the cellophane off before I listen to it.

SPEAKER_04

And it's a physical media, it's not a streaming as we as we discussed stuff there.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, indeed, indeed. It's an actual, you know, you've got to have a player to put this in. I can tell you his second album, the one that's gonna be all my music, is going to be physical CDs like this and streaming as well. It's gonna be both. Um, so you know, and people can uh make their own choice about what they what they like. Yes, there you go, there you go. Right. Um, so I suppose we ought to move on to the podcast poser, ought we not?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you need to give the answer to last one, so that'd be great. Oh what? Well, because this is this this episode is a special episode because you gave because you gave the answer on the Chris episode. Do you remember? Yes. So uh how are you gonna present it in this? So you're gonna give the answer to that again and then do Oh, well which answer do you want? Yeah, did you do what I mean? Because when we recorded with Chris, because this is after the fact with Chris, we recorded with Chris, you gave the podcast poser answer on that episode, and then you released a new So it's gonna be a bit confusing for the audience, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01

Do you mean that this episode we're recording now is gonna come out first before that one?

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Oh perhaps I should just wait for the um because I can't give them the answer before I've given them the question, can I? Should I just do shall I forget that and just do a completely new one?

SPEAKER_04

That'd be probably the best idea. Right. If you have you got one at hand?

SPEAKER_01

I I do. I've come prepared. You're surprised? I am. Also, this one is a very short one. You know, all the other ones I've done is this lengthy description of whatever. But this is a short one. Are you ready? Here we go. Remember that if you know the answer to this, you can email it in to us at a jollygodnatter at gmail.com. Yes, and we'll look forward to receiving all those dozens of messages from you. Dozens per second. Yes. Right. This episode's podcast poser is as follows. What is full of holes but can still hold water? I will repeat that for you in case you didn't quite catch it. What is full of holes but can still hold water? Do you know the answer to that?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you do? Okay. Well, keep it a secret, and I will reveal all in. I was gonna say the next episode, but whichever one it is that needs it revealing in.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. So this one's gonna come out first, and then it's gonna be the first episode.

SPEAKER_01

All gets very confusing. I can feel my brain scrambling already. Yes, yes, yes, all that talking. You know, I know a story about talking. Would you like me to send it to you? Well, you see, there was that there were two friends in the pub talking. See, so that's where the talking bit comes in. And one of them had uh had recently lost his wife, which was a bit of a careless thing to do, really. Um and um uh anyway, so so his friend said, How are you getting on? How are you getting on now? Your wife isn't here. He said, Well, uh, I'm a bit lonely, really. I um uh I've got no one to talk to. And he said, I know what you should do. You should go and buy yourself a budgie. Because a budgie, it'll sit in its cage and chup away merrily and it'll talk to you. So he said, Oh, okay, I will, I'll do that. So off we went. Sitting there having a drink and having a chat. And he said, So, did you go and buy a budgie? Yes, I did. And is it talking? No, it hasn't said a word. Oh, well, that surprises me. I'll tell you what you should do. Buy a little mirror that can hang inside the cage, and the budgie can look at itself in the mirror and then it'll start talking. So I said, Ah, I'll do that then. A couple of days later, did you buy the mirror? Yes, I did. I hung it there in the cage. Okay, is it talking now? No. I know what you should do. Go and buy a little bell that you can hang there next to it. So you can ring the bell, you can look in the mirror, then it'll start talking. So a couple of days later, did you buy the bell? Yes, I did. Did it ring it? Yes. Did it start talking? No. All you need to do, get one of those little ladders that you can attach to the bars of the cake so you can walk up and down and get exercise, and it'll start talking. A couple of days later, did you buy the ladder? Yes. Has the budgie started talking? Actually, the budgie's dead. The budgie's dead. I'm very sorry to hear that. Well, it did say one word before it died. Oh, what did it say? It said food.

SPEAKER_02

Ah, how about that?

SPEAKER_01

I thought it was quite funny.

SPEAKER_04

I already knew the punchline before.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_04

I already knew it so I couldn't laugh because I already know. See it.

SPEAKER_01

When someone tells me a joke that I've already heard, you know what my punchline is? When they come out with the punchline. I go, hmm. The version I heard was funnier than that.

SPEAKER_04

I'll say that next time then.

SPEAKER_01

You know, it just occurred to me. This is probably the first episode we've ever done where I haven't um told you what everyone's name is. Or haven't told you anyone else what your name is. We didn't do that with it, did we? No, we didn't. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

I know. Oh well. I I did notice. That's why I said I'll let you kind of because you were you were on the flow, that's why I went, okay. I'll let you know. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I'm glad one of us is paying attention. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, okay. So, yes. So please vote for Richard. Oh, yes. If you haven't already, that would be great.

SPEAKER_01

Including you.

SPEAKER_04

Including myself, yes. I will try.

SPEAKER_01

You can have, by the way, one vote per email address. So if you've got more than one email address and you go into it, you know, via the other accounts, you can do more than one. Yeah. Just saying. Yes. Anyway, if we do win, if we do actually win, I mean, I don't know how much of a realistic chance it is, I really don't. But if we do, it will all be due to the public vote. There's nothing else involved, no external panel or nothing. So it's all down to fine folk like you, ladies and gentlemen. I thank you heartily for all those of you who have voted already, uh and for those of you who say you're going to vote. Yes. Um, and we will wait to you, both of us, from the red carpet. We will. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And repeat the channel, the streaming channel again, just so people are aware.

SPEAKER_01

It's called Channel 1 TV. Uh, that's all in capitals, if that makes any difference to anything. But watch out because it's a channel one TV based in Ghana, and it's not that one, okay? It's the other one that isn't that one. Um, so there we are. I I don't know whether you have to sort of log in or set up an account or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

If you send me over the the link for the website, yes, then I'll put it in the description.

SPEAKER_01

Ah, good thinking, good thinking. Yes. Yeah? Yes, that sounds like a plan. Yes. So that's all we'll do. Yes. And you'll see not only that, but you'll see us if you do watch it, you'll see us wearing our very best clothes. Have you got any? Well, you'll see me wearing my very best clothes. And if he hasn't got any, I'll lend him some. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, taste test ready. We need to do a taste test. Yes. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Well, well, I've done a lot of talking. Do you want to introduce us or do you want me to just carry on rabbiting on like someone who rabbits on?

SPEAKER_04

So today we are doing marmite pus. Oh. These are cheese and marmite. So I know some people love it or hate it. Yes, they do. Why don't you grab your one?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, we're not going to share then. We're just going to keep to ourselves.

SPEAKER_04

I don't want your grubby fingers on my packet.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I don't have grubby fingers on this hand. This hand's alright.

SPEAKER_04

What do you think of the package in before you get started?

SPEAKER_01

Um, it's quite distinguished. Um, you know, if you ask somebody what are the two most contrasting colours, everyone will always say black and white. In fact, it's black and yellow. So there you go. So they've got the two most contrasting colours, obviously from the Marmite jar itself, because that's what they call them. Yeah. So it's uh it has um brand unity.

SPEAKER_04

It tells, doesn't it? Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, but it says we have to eat them by the 31st of October, so we better get started. Yes. Oh, it's got a it comes with a warning on the back. It says warning. The contents are highly addictive. So watch out. You just take one, maybe you have to finish the whole lot. Let's see. Right. Are we going to do it simultaneously? Yeah. Yeah, there. Oh, it's got quite a strong smell before I even taste. Right, my initial response is the smell is stronger than the taste is. You put the taste in, the thing is, and it just disappeared.

SPEAKER_04

But you've got to think, because they're vacuum sealed, then there's this the smell would be stuck in there.

SPEAKER_01

Also should mention these, of course, are courtesy of Chris of the t-shirt. Um so thank you, Chris, for supplying um the myriad of things that you brought with you the other day in the searing heat.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um we appreciate that very much. Yes, and I've never tried these before. You've never tried these before?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you have? Well, I haven't.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh but I didn't even know they were a thing.

SPEAKER_04

I have tried them before. My daughter enjoys them. My youngest.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they just sort of melt away when you pop them in.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but they are they're puffs, so they don't really have much thin as well, they don't have anything at all in this.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, but interestingly. So I popped the first one in and thought it didn't taste of anything. But now that I've had quite a few, the flavour is starting to somehow present itself.

SPEAKER_04

So that warning that that you read on the back, I've noticed that the warning it has.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know what you mean.

SPEAKER_04

So mark out of pen. I'm sure. Get your grubby fingers away.

SPEAKER_01

Right now. I like these. I like the packaging. I like the taste after having had several of them. The actual sort of puffiness of them is sort of slightly. I just I would like to have something a bit more with a bit more bite in it. More like crisps.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

But it's not bad. So I think I'm gonna go for 8.309.

SPEAKER_04

8.4. Right, okay. Brilliant, fantastic. So for me. Okay. 8.5.

SPEAKER_00

So why are you going higher than me then? They're just going to be one up, meant you.

SPEAKER_04

I enjoy them.

SPEAKER_00

Both of them, cool.

SPEAKER_04

I prefer cheese and onion, Chris.

SPEAKER_01

They are the elders, they're my favourite, yes.

SPEAKER_04

But yeah, these are great.

SPEAKER_01

Actually, cheese and marmite go well together, if you like that sort of thing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they are they are quite moorish once you have one. You can't really you you taste the marmaite at the beginning, but then you don't really taste it thereafter. As as strong as if you're just gonna have it from a jar.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Correct. But of course it depends how much you yeah, you you plaster on, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_04

But yeah, you can definitely taste cheese. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh I I really enjoyed them.

SPEAKER_01

Very good. So thank you, Chris. Give us a thumbs up. Yes. By the way, all these um marks that you're noting down with all the different taste has we've done, yeah, I mean, what's gonna happen to them? Are you gonna like put them in an encyclopedia or on a on a spreadsheet or just you know, stick them on your bedroom wall and read it when you get bored or something? What's it all about?

SPEAKER_04

Well, once season one of our podcasts is over, then I'll just discard them. After all that work, the work I do, yes. I do I do the editing. I do taste test recording.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but you've just built a new computer, you could it would give you something to load on.

SPEAKER_04

That's more work. Pardon me.

SPEAKER_01

But I thought you liked work.

SPEAKER_04

I have plenty to do. Oh I have plenty to do. We should say so. But they they are really nice anyway.

SPEAKER_01

They are seeing I've almost finished mine now. And you would have finished yours if half of them dropped on the floor. Ha ha! Terrible table banners.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Yeah, no, no, they're lovely, they're lovely. But yes. Thank you, Chris, once again for the space today, a bonus episode for everybody. But yes, I'm glad everybody enjoyed today's episode. Today was, as I said, it was just a special, it was just more about us discussing about the 29th of July. 29th of July the award ceremony, that's right. Yes, and just yeah, please join us.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, yes, uh, and uh tune in July 29th, 6-6 pm onwards. Um, and just to let you know, the uh the category that I'm nominated for is going to be announced quite near the beginning. So um try not to be late because you'll you'll miss it if you're if you're late. Um, but then spare a thought for us because after we've found the result, whichever way it goes, uh then we've got to sit through all the rest of the dozens and dozens of other categories with people we've never known or whatever. But we'll get to see some famous people when we're there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they might even want us for our autographs. Yeah. Yeah, they might want selfies. Do you find to doing a selfie with Claudia Winkleman?

SPEAKER_04

Yes, yeah, I quite enjoy her. Yes. Watching her on TV, actually. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Or or a selfie with uh who else might be there? Well, Graham Norton is one of the nominees, so I assume he'll be there.

SPEAKER_04

He'll win. He'll win something, yes. He's he's a good presenter.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, and he's been doing it for years.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, yes, yes, because he had this Graham Norton show on the Channel 4, then he moved to the BBC.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. And if they get some good people on there, don't they? Totally A-list people.

SPEAKER_04

Because it was Parkinson who did it first.

SPEAKER_01

That's right.

SPEAKER_04

And then then it was Oh, Terry Rogan did a lot. Yeah, Terry Rogan, then there was someone after him, I've forgotten his name now. Radio Presenter now got a list. Can't say it's ours. Oh, Jonathan Ross. Yes, he did it. Yes, yes. That's right. And then Graham Alton came on the scene there after.

SPEAKER_01

Some of those talk shows, have you noticed? The the host sits behind a desk. Not I mean Jonathan Ross does it, but most of the ones I've seen are American type ones. And I always think it just looks a little bit I don't know, kind of separational. I think that it's nicer, it looks better when they're all just sitting in a nice little semi semicircle of chairs. Rather than swapping great desk in the middle.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, more welcome, but then people who do have the desk, they normally pull things out to give to the guests.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I see, I see. Yeah, I suppose. Although I have seen people not with the desk, and they sometimes reach down behind their chair and go, I've got this thing here.

SPEAKER_04

That's what Graham Norton does, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, thank you very much, everybody, today.

SPEAKER_01

There we are. Yes, indeed. Thank you for your kind attention. Um, don't forget, of course, we have plenty more of these episodes. There's how many are we up to now? Is it 60 or something? No. Well well, there's lots of long ones and there's lots of short ones, let's put it that way. There's plenty, there's lots anyway. There's lots. And and I know that some of you have told me in the TikTok lives that you've listened to all of them, so thank you very much if you're one of those people. Um, and you obviously have exquisite taste, and we applaud you for that. So, we're heading off into the sunset.

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

And since you've been since you've been up all night, I suppose you want to go and have a little nap, don't you?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I'm I I'm pretty tired in this episode, so that is the reason why I'm letting Richard do most of talking today. I've been up since 2 30am, maybe 3 a.m.

SPEAKER_01

You see that. 12 30, I think it is. There or thereabouts there we are, yes. Yeah, so you've been up for 10 hours already. So you he goes through all this at 10 it's trouble to prepare all of these things uh in into in exquisite detail.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so I've I've I've had a busy 10 hours say that. So, yes, anyway. All right, so thank you very much for joining us today. And everyone, be nice to each other.

SPEAKER_01

Be nice to each other, please be nice to each other, and as we always say, as I always say at the end of every TikTok live, and as we always say at the end of every episode of a jolly good matter over coffee and biscuits. By the way, we haven't had coffee and biscuits today, but let's not worry about that. A bit too hot for that. Yes, biscuits, yes, you don't want biscuits on a hot day. Uh, yes, so thank you all for coming, thank you all for your kind attention, and we will see you all on the very next episode. In the meantime, please, please, please don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Smile because it happened. Goodbye. Bye, bye bye.
