I mean I've read a little bit. So why were you trying to teach Tom Dave? Well I I meditate for half an hour every day. Do you? Yeah. What do you say to yourself? Nothing. Just sit there and uh meditate. Yeah, you focus on your breathing and stuff. It's really good . When do you find time for that? In the mornings? Yeah, but you only straight in in a car off to A lot of the time I am. So on occasion I've been known to have to do it on the train. Which isn't ideal. Isn't that just shutting your eyes? Yeah, but you Yeah, it is. I mean that's part of it, but then you sort of focus on your breathing and clear your thoughts. Not you don't clear your thoughts actually, you allow your thoughts to drift in and out like clouds floating by in the sky. And then you every time your mind starts to wander, you bring it back to the focus on your breathing, and then it thins your connection with ego, and it's wonderful. You should try it. Me .

That's oh seven seven three one six two three three five five or you can email podcast at rangabi dot com. Um how many emails have we got in by the way? Um the this has been a sort of point of contention because a few people emailed uh So hold on before let's give let's give some context there. Up until this moment, I've been under the impression that we've only received one email to the podcast. That's not true. Only one? Apparently. Is it true, Ben? Let's find out. No . There's been a bit of I I feel like as maybe we all owe the v the email as a bit of an apology. Okay. I I'd apologise to all of them if I knew how many there were. Well, we've been checking the wrong email account. ail accounts that were quite similar in nature. What's the other one? I can't. Well I don't want to give that one out because then people might start emailing the wrong one. Everyone's been emailing the right one. We've just not been checking it. Oh god . You've not been checking the email account. None of us have. I not just me. I mean none of us have, have we? So when did you find out that you'd made this massive fuck up? Today. Today, yeah. So how many emails have we got? We've got six hundred and thirty two emails. Are they all good? There's a well He's not read them. George and me have got a long weekend ahead of victory email. So I'm genuinely really sorry. That was a a an absolute six hundred and thirty two. There was a bit of confusion because uh uh we Ruth had said that she had received an email. By the way, you can't but first of all , that's the first time you've said the word Ruth on this podcast. And it's the Slater. No, it's a fault. Ruth works at Rangabay. One of the e someone had emailed uh ra uh one of our email addresses. So you said oh we've only had one email and and so that we thought that was the email anyway, lots of confusion back and forth. None of that makes sense what you just said. She we thought that we had to do what's Ruth why have you been in a lot going on behind the scenes over the email address. We've now got into the email account. What no, stop. Don't worry, why did you mention Ruth? She in a way that was irrelevant. It was irrelevant. Not in a way. Yeah. Maybe we can get to the bottom of what there were two email addresses that were similar in wording? Yeah, yeah. Have we ever issued that email address? What's that? No. No. We've never had one email to that randomly. We need to get one email. So you've been checking the account that we've never given the email address. Yeah, we just thought people didn't email. And and that is because what? Ruth told you to. No, that's not Ruth's fault. No, no, no, no. That's our fault. Yeah, well I think sh someone had sent it to the info as well, so we got a bit confused that so we that was the second anyway. Well what's that got to do with Ruth? We don't have to worry about Ruth. I wasn't worried about Ruth until even I I regret bringing Ruth into this. I this is all on myself and I officially apologi.ze So it is you ? Yeah, uh yeah, I it's a hundred percent me and I'm sorry. So that sounds like you're making this up now. No, no, no, no, you're doing this little I am Spartacus thing. No, no, look, we we apologize. We we're gonna get through all those emails , we're gonna read them all. We're gonna be it'll we'll probably do two or three like email shows or something. We'll make it a lot of I don't want to do a whole show just emails because we've got a bad but um we'll you know uh uh we've got an email in. Oh, so good that you've got a new podcast. You know, can I ask about Andy Murray? There's gonna be a fucking backlog now, isn't there? But I think I don't wanna be filled I don't want to be fielding questions about Michael Sheen But I think that we can make a bit of we could do it like you know the um an archive clip show. If there is that, we could then throw back to episodes and we could be like, oh remember that, that was a great and then it might bring people back to the back catalogue. John's always talking about that. You meant with podcasts, back catalogue's a big thing, right? Back catalogue is very important, yeah. So in a way it could be a positive for everyone. Okay. In the show. But I am really sorry and it's a big fuck up. Yeah, time. Okay, well that's not But it's a massive fuck up let's just like be light. It's up, isn't it mum? What do you think? Let me check in the wrong email account. I I did like it. Sorry, sorry, Shadow. It's why it's a wrong email address. We've been looking at the no the right email address. We've just not been looking at the right account. Ooh, trouble in paradise. You are blaming this. I'm not blaming anymore. No, no, no, no. No, I that was that I don't know why Ruth came up. I don't know either, but you said it. My God, you can rub it in, isn't it? I could rub it in. Yeah. Some pots and kettles round here. Okay, shall we get into our first question? This is from Louisa. Hi Romish and Shanti. This is Louisa from Christchurch. Hello. My family and I are genuinely huge fans of you both. We are seeing Romesh again in Bournemouth twenty twenty seven. However, if Shanty were to get her own show by then, we would sell our Romesh tickets and upgrade to Shanty's show instead. Upgrade. Anyway, if you don't mind, I'm after some advice from both of you on the side. Yeah, I've got some advice. Go fuck yourself. That's not right. Robbie, shut up Sorry, go off. My mum and dad have been married for forty six years . There is a six year age gap between them, mum being the younger one, which I know is not a significant age gap. However, in the last few years, my dad has significantly slowed down. My mum is sprightly, energetic and sociable, whereas my dad doesn't want to do anything anymore and prefers to stay in the house watching episodes of gold diggers and repeats of Britain's Got Talent, which isn't my mum's idea of a good time . My question to you both is should my dad make more of an effort and take my mum out socially, or do you think at the ripe age of eighty he should be allowed to do what he wants and stay in? Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated I mean it's a shame that Louisa's given us quite a serious problem because I did want to go in really two footed about the ticket thing. No. It feels a bit out of order now. Um I didn't think there'd be a difference in in interest between a seventy four year old and an eighty year old. Do you know what I mean? Seventy four year old Well she said the dad's her dad's eighty No, they've been together for forty six years. Forty six years. Dad's eighty. Yeah. There's a six year age gap. Okay. I subtracted the six from the eighty. Uh huh. And I've got seventy-four. Yeah. So I'm assuming. And I think what Luisa should do take the the father for medical checku p because he's hiding something. So you it's very, very true. What do you mean he's hiding something? He's tired. That's why he wants to stay at home. So there must be something wrong with him . For he loses all his energy. Eighty, eighty people making love and running around. Don't worry about that. Check it. Check it. And blood tests and everything else. And uh get Let's assume that they do get the medical checkup and he's fine, but he's just he just wants to slow down. So then what should they. Yeah, but if there isn't what I'm asking is if there isn't something lacking. Then doctor can prescribe some But if there isn't something lacking. I went for blood test. My iron iron level was very low. Right. I was getting tired. Now doctor said eat from food you can absorb all these nutrients. You get nutrients from food. Is it a question or not? Is it exclusive? Yeah. Okay, go on. So but I started taking supplement. I feel great. But if there is an iron supplement, yeah. But if there isn't anything lacking, what should limit? Okay, but if there isn't something wrong with him, what should they want to do, Ma. No, no, neither are you. If if we if we're throwing accusations around the thing, I think it's safe to say that neither of us adopt something. But what let's assume that he doesn't or she find anything wrong, then what's the advice ? There's a tablet I I take . Okay ? I'm talking about I'll be honest with you. When you said there's a tablet I take, I did not think you'd be taking Viagra. She should be very grateful. Nothing wrong with your husband. Okay. Everything in functioning properly. Okay. The vital points all functioning. All the vital points. Take Farmatin. Farmatin tablets. Yeah. It's helped to uh the blood circulation. The main thing is is a blood circulation. Can we put a caption under here? This is not actually because we gotta distance ourselves so this is fucking wild. Shanti, what about if uh one of them is Don't say if there's nothing wrong? One of them is I've tried that. So if one of them is it could be that one of them is just aging better than the other. Yeah. So as one is aging, she's obviously keeping energetic. But as an as he is aging, he's slowing down a bit more and he's like he's finding it hard. I have seen people criticizing, oh you're an old man. That play a big part in your life. So to encourage him and ask him to come out and go to cinema and enjoy, give first priority to him until he gets his energy back. That's what I think. I have seen people, oh you old bitch, oh old man, you can't do anything Who says oh you old bitch? Who's saying No no no Ramesh Mum tell me when have you heard somebody just going, Oh you old bitch? When have you heard that? Are you trying to tell me they don't talk like that? Who? Who is they? Wha like The public say you old bitch What the fuck are you talking about You d where are you? Look around. Listen. Not here. Mum, the public are not saying you are Poor Dad, poor dad. Oh he's slowing he's not slowing down. He is. She just said. He wants to stay in a must. I can feel son. He's not slowing us up. You've listened to a recording of his daughter. Daughter says he's slowing down. Why? Why do you slow down? Health issue. Health issue. Okay, fuck me. Could it not could it just be a personality thing? Some people don't like going out as much and doing as much. I mean I'm like that and I'm not I'm not Louisa, how did he find the mother? Please . Take him for a medical checkup. Oh my god . Anyway, darling, if you know more to take him, give him Farbiton. Do if you feel that that's medical doctor advice is it? Yeah. Okay. But but otherwise this is not medical. Yeah, this is not medical advice. Yeah. I'm not a doctor. Yeah. You know, they used to say take aspirin, uh, two a aspirin, it's good for the heart. Now they are saying don't take it. It doesn't work. Yeah. Because for the heart it too if you take two soluble aspirin, it's good for you. But now they are saying don't take it. Yeah, okay. Well the why I I threw the threw it in a bin. But you can kill still keep it. It's not a bomb. You can use you can use it You can Get away all gun I feel sorry for Louisa's death. I do too, because she's emailed him for fucking advice and you keep saying take I do feel sorry for him. Well done John. That was really that was great one. Your father slowed down when he was sixty, isn't it? Yeah. Then he's dead. Yeah, okay. What's wrong? Ben's really you're really pissed off with it, eh? Louisa, my advice is that your let's assume that there's not a medical issue and your dad is just slowing down at a faster rate than your mum and there's a six year age gap and it's just Um I think you're you know with all real as with all relationships you need to find some sort of compromise, don't you? And so I think your mum could sometimes Energize him could sometimes of fer to Sorry did I I paused for half a second. Did you think I'd finish my answer? Do I am I allow am I still allowed to take gaps in between words ? Sometimes you do. Yeah. I I do I try it I try and take a gap between every word . Um sometimes you can stay in and watch Britain's Got Talent or whatever it I can't remember what the other thing was. Or you go out I. think you need just to find a compromise. That would be my suggestion. Take him for a walk. Take him for a walk. To begin a bit. Yeah. Walking. I think a lot of the time when people sort of get tired, what they don't realise is getting out and doing it. Start from the next summer Sorry, that's my mistake. You get lazy because it starts from the leg . Right. Because it's some so many connections in there. So exercise the legs. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So Mum's advice to your mum and dad would be the same that she would give to somebody that's suffering from deep vein thrombos But what I would say to you is um sometimes people don't realize that you know actually getting out will energize them. That's it. That's it. And then find out your y uh her mom will know what are the things he likes. Yeah. So let him do that. Maybe there's so many restrictions you put on. You can't do that. You can't do that. I'm active. Don't do that. What? Well a lot of your advice you would also give to somebody that owned a dog, wouldn't you? Take him out for a walk, encourage him, praise him. Don't don't compare human be ing to a dog. The team had a question for me this week. Um all right Rom. So your job is literally to give people an epic night out. You're on stage, people having like time of their life, but when did someone last give that to you? When did you last sit in an audience or turn up somewhere and just think, yeah, this is brilliant? It's a very good point . Thank you so much for asking the question. And obviously I'm somebody that does deliver epic nights out, you know. I I don't want to overstate it, but my job is literally to sort of change people's lives through the live experience. Do you know what I mean? They they come, they watch the show . It's transformative. You know, a lot of people are saying it's transformative. It's a comedy show, yeah. Yeah, it's a comedy show that but it's you know it's an incredible experience. Then sometimes I watch audience members leave, and I think to myself, God, I wish I was you. The one curse of being me is that I don't get to watch me, it's sad. Um, and sometimes they think, well, maybe I could watch somebody else. Do you know what I mean? But the truth is, a lot of the time we just think, I'm not gonna do that. I've got like a long list of people that I want to go see, a long list of artists that I'd love to go and see. A lot of time I think about I'm gonna go and then I never go. But then every time I do go, it's an amazing experience. The ones I've actually done, you always remember, you talk to your friends about them, you go with your friends , and uh you just think, I'm so glad I did this. And every time you go to one of those, as you're leaving, you go, we should do this more. But thankfully, virgin red rewards include epic experiences: gigs, events, afternoon teas, hotel stays. You earn verg pointsing from everyday life and redeem them on something genuinely memorable. And honestly, I know better than most what a great live experience feels like from the stage. Turns out it's just as good from the audience. If you want more of those experiences that actually stay with you, the ones worth sharing, Virgin Red is how you make them happen. Say yes. Virgin Red means go. Ready to dive in? Become a member and start unlocking rewards that make life feel a little more epic. Do you can I go to one of your gigs? No. Louisa, thank you so much for your question. Our next one is from Sweta Hi Remish and Shanti. This is Sweta. I absolutely find your podcast incredibly funny , especially with Shanti I've got a question for Shanti since she's the most hilarious one. No offense, Ramesh. That's okay. The question is Shanti , if you could swap your life with Romesh for twenty four hours, what would you do other than making him call you every single day what would you make Romesh do? Thank you . Um I would say if she's only me for twenty four hours calling me every day it's gonna be tricky . Um far be it for me to be picky with someone that said that my mum's more hilarious. Mum, what would you do if you're me for twenty four hours? In your position? Yes, if you're me for twenty four hours. I'll visit Visit who? You. You 're Shanti , I think. She's not said we've done a body swap. Yeah. I I'll keep in touch. I'll bring the warmth in in my relationship. And um yeah, yeah, I I love to see my see you more often. I don't think you've got your head around this. I think so. I think so. I'm also You've become Romesh. You're Romesh. You're Romesh for now. What do you do? All right. I enjoy all the lovely things that you are having, but I can't do the comedy. Why not? You are the number one. You are the best. Sweeter has just said you're more hilarious than me. So you're not without you, son, I'll be nothing there. I'm telling you. Okay, fine if you get the truth. Yeah. So I'd rather tag along with you and enjoy my I'm not you're me. Oh yeah. So what would you do? Ah right. Say that I'm a community. Okay, you look at someone side. She's mad. Put the phone down. Mm-hmm and not to call her. Leave it for a few days. If she's dead, nobody will inform you . That's it . That's from it. Okay. Morning gone and then and then what happens? I'll be in the car travelling with Jim or John. Yeah, Hobsy. And yeah. Or Sevi . Sevy. Yeah. And then I you won't talk rather sleeping. So you're going to sleep. And you wake up and you see Ben and everybody. And whatever you are so I'm I will be so good at performing. That I admire I will do that and spend give all my energy towards it 'cause that brings money. There you are. That's it. And then after that so that's after that just uh start a snorting in the car, go back home , eat that bagam whatever chili because your body is starving for spicy food. That's it. And then go to bed. Go to bed . Play with the dog for a while. Yeah. So you still haven't I haven't s I won't check the phone about the mother. Hmm. Yeah. So Sweta, I hope you're you were hoping been answered. Yeah. Could I have a half asked description of Romesh's day? Because that's what you got. What if it was like a f a Freaky Friday or that remember the little Dickey like where it's what with Chris? First of all, let's not Freaky Friday, let's not attribute that original idea to Little Dickie. Okay. That's when I felt this is this is what's a fucking problem with people like you. Because you love little Dicky, you think he came up with the bodyswap idea. Okay . That's what that's one of the latest iterations of bodyswap. And by the way, I love that song. Right ? Reservations about Chris Brown's conduct aside. It's a great song. Okay . But okay, let's um so imagine we bodyswapped. So so I we've heard what um Sh anty would do, but what would you do as Shanti then? I I think I'd just be first of all, I couldn't be naked . Why you had to be naked? I just wouldn't I I wouldn't But you wait you're gonna wake up, what'd you wear night dress, nice sexy night dress I wear. I just I d I d I think it's a bit s I don't like it. I don't like this hypothet I don't like this imaginary thing. I don't I don't feel comfortable. I guess then mind you. No, I don't this is not. So he'll be wearing whatever you were wearing when you went to bed. So you've woken up in your sexy night dress. Do you gonna go out like that? I'd put on I I well I f I'm I'm only for twenty four hours, right? I I don't want to see my body at all. So you're you're gonna look in the mirror because you won't know we you you'll look down I guess. Yeah, and that'll be horrifying. Right . So then I'll be I'll just go fucking have s like some sort of seizure. You would definitely go and look in the mirror. No, I would not. I d I would then If you were your mum and you woke up and you saw your and you wouldn't have to be No I che no but I am I have first of all have I been notified that I'm gonna be my mum for a bit no because I've just woken up as well. Yeah. So I think pretty quickly I'd know what's going on. Do you know what I mean? I'm in my mum's bedroom. Yeah. Right, I've woken up, I'm in a sexy night death. Right. So I think okay, classic body swap . It's the old body swamp ed by little pickle if it goes the way I think it might go this is only gonna last for twenty four hours so let's get on with my day I wouldn't have a shower or bath probably brush my teeth . I I'm not I don't want to see I probably try and avoid using the toilet at all. I probably take some Imodi um. I don't want to in my mother's body take a sh it . Why? I just don't want I don't think you lose that, man. That fucking defines you going with the me knowing what it's like to pop a squat as your mum . I think it's horrible . Anyway, you won't have the hanging bit . I put on twenty seven layers. No, I'd but I'd get dressed. But you'd to get dressed you'd have to take. No, on over the night dress. Oh, okay, okay. I'd put stuff on over the night dress. I'm really sorry to ask this. What would you what would you put on? I go for joggers,. mm-hmm Sort of loose joggers. Uh probably a top like that might be all right. Yeah. Maybe something big. I'd go for the biggest stuff. Uh and then I would uh I don't know what I'd do. What sort of stu I'd go do Pilates ? Yeah. I've always wanted to try Pilates, but I don't want to join any Pilates class, as Romish Ranganathan. Mm-hmm. So I'd go as you. You know all those people, I'd go to Pilates. Yeah. Uh go for a coffee morning with one of your friends. Yeah. And I'd go like this. I'd be like So because I'm a bit suspicious about how you've conducted yourself. So I'd go, um Darling, what are some of the things that I've said about Romesh during our previous And then I'd find out what sort of shit you've been saying about me. Uh then I'd go see Dines h and I'd say , you know, I've always loved Romesh more. See you later, Baldy. And then I'd leave. Uh then I'd uh I'd go home, um, I'd look through the house and I'd get all of the needless shit that I've got in and around the house, and I'd stick it up on vintage. I don't know how to do that. No. But you will do after I've done it. And then I'll go to bed . Probably about eight in the evening, because I don't think you go to bed early enough. No. And that's my day. Okay. What do we think? Thanks, Sweeta . All right, have we got time for another one? Yeah, we've got time for one more. Okay. Uh this is from Jamal. Hello, Ramesh and Shanti . Big fan of the show. I'm Jamal from Leicester. My question is going to Shanti . Um I'm getting married in summer, and my mother-in-law, future mother-in-law, is uh her English is not that great . What is the best tips that you can give me to impress her and do without really speaking her language, what would you say would impress her? And also same for Romish, what did you do to impress your mother in law if you even impressed your mother in law? Anyway, thank you . Okay. Um sounds like Jamal had to end that because he's getting a message through. Um mum , Jamal's future mother-in-law, is it future mother in law? Yeah. Doesn't speak much English. What do you do? Ask him to learn the language he speaks. Oh, talk to her in English. She will understand. Yeah. Oh, give her a class. Yeah. English class and uh English lessons, that's not very from different countries. Some of them couldn't even pronounce a word. Uh they used to say assist me so some of the guys understood kiss me. Excuse me. Yeah, it I heard at work uh they they used to because the pronunciation it even some of the words I pronounce. Can you give me the context of this? So I'm just saying now at work somebody said excuse me. Excuse me, yeah. Yeah. And somebody else th thought they said kiss me. Excuse me. I I mean I I think with things like that. Throw a bit of context in there. You're at work. How likely is it somebody said example. Okay. Teach her English. That's it. Okay. Yeah. Teach her English. English. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you should say to her, I'm gonna teach you English and if you don't wanna learn, fuck off back home. No, no, no. You don't say things like that. Oh, sorry. Well she won't understand anyway. I'm joking. I actually think your first thing that I was poo-pooed is actually a good bit of advice. Learning her language could be a nice way of bonding and even if you don't like you're not gonna get fluent, but even if you learn a little bit , she shows a bit of willing and it's a nice way to connect and you can do a little exchange thing. She can learn a bit of English, you can learn a bit of whatever language it is she speaks.ell I think if I have taught you my mother tongue Yeah I think we we'll be very close. We are very close. We are close, but I can't shout at you in my language, isn't it? Go for it now. Imagine like just start in Tamil, just really have a go at me. No. No . No . No, but we can put captions underneath. Go on, go for it . No. No no no you don't. You need to learn to yes and on this. Do you know what I mean? You're very negative ninny sometimes. Shanti, how do you say you never call me in Tamil? Fuck you, John. Hmm. How do you say thanks to you I have no mortgage? Oh I like it, sounds musical. So you understood that because I used the moat gate. No, because I told you English. Uh Jamal, we hope that helps. Thank you for messaging in. And if you have sent by the way, if anybody wants to send in emails, don't. No, no, we can now. We can well you've got six hundred and thirty to get through. Well shall I start from the I don't know what end to start from. Do it like Drake. Start from the butt I'm now here. Um I are you gonna go through all of them? Yeah. Okay. You're gonna go through all of them. I feel genuinely feel very bad about this. Okay. We should do. I think like Will and I could split it up, probably. We'll do something. I would email Ruth as well to apologise to her. Yeah, I'd I I regret bringing Ruth into it. So mad . Mum, what do you think about this episode? How do you think this episode's gone? Fantastic, I enjoyed so much. Yeah. Everything. Yeah, really good man. Yeah. Mahan. I mean some people think they think you're saying man. Man. But you're saying mahan. Mahan. Mahan. Sun. Sun. Man. Yes, man. Ma You got a question? No, I I just thought maybe you maybe it and uh I would you apologize as well just on pa behalf of every email thing I just feel like it'd be mean more to I see it means more f from you, doesn't it? Okay. Um everybody that emailed in, I'm so sorry for Ben's fuck up . And Ruth, I'm sorry that Ben brought your name into this podcast for the first time merely to throw you under the bus. No it wasn't okay. Uh I hope you have the opportunity to remove the tire marks from your back . Uh Ben's on uh on behalf of the Romishrang and Nathan show, sorry f about Ben. You're sorry too though. I am sorry that Ben was in charge of emails. And John could have stepped in. John could have stepped in, but it wasn't his responsibility. John does a lot . We we made it a runner that we only had one email. We all laughed about it, we thought it was a funny little thing. Turns out lots of people were emailing in and Ben was checking a different account because he fucked up. So I'm sorry about that. Why didn't you check it? Why do I check it? Yeah. Oh yeah, well why don't I fucking hoover the carpet while I go? I'm the fucking talent. You're also the exec producer. Yeah. Am I? Yeah. Yeah. What does that mean on a podcast? I don't know. Is anybody sending email? Did you read you produced Oh sorry. Oh sorry. Miss you're on the every Thursday episode, why don't you check? I've actually I'm fucking reading this I'm doing all of the functional work on this. Do you not think in retrospect though, one of us could have thought like, oh that's weird. Why have we only had one we all are responsible collectively? No, we are. We're all collectively responsible. We could all have gone, why is that? Surely maybe let's think about um then. Can I can I can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? Can I tell you why they didn't I did think it's weird that we've only got one email. Not in a million years did I think it's because the person checking the account is so fuck-minded that they would check the wrong email. That is so far from the realms of possibility of what the answer could it be? It's more likely than only one email has been sent. Then somebody is so fucking stupid and incompetent that they check an email account for an email address that we've never, ever given out on the podcast. Ever . The idea that that is the solution is so is it's like going, oh, a unicorn has been deleting the the emails. That's as likely . So that's why it didn't occur to me. And with that in mind, you will apologize. Sorry about Ben . So not only so people are asking to see him, I didn't want to fucking hear him now . Six how many? Six hundred and thirty-two. Six hundred and thirty-two emails. Six hundred and thirty-two apologies. Please keep emailing. Well see them we'll check. No, in all seriousness we are sorry about that. We are sorry about that. You've got to laugh there, haven't you? Yeah, of course you have to. You send in an email, you tune into the podcast, they're complaining about only getting one email and you think, Well I have emailed. It's quite a serious problem that required some advice as soon as possible ASAPs. Then you come into the third episode still not there. And then we do another joke about less any one email and you think bloody hell that's weird. I definitely sent an email. And then you send that same email six hundred and thirty two times . We prefer voice notes though anyway, don't we? As a rule. Well we've had two. I've got no idea whether we prefer voice notes to emails. Thank you for all your messages and your emails. Mum, it's been real. We'll be back on Monday with another exciting guest. See you later. See you later. Go fuck yourselves, you dumbass holes! And sorry. Sorry, Ben. And sorry about Ben. Fuck you!
