This is a Global Player Original podcast.

Ian, Ian, Ian, can you let me some money?

I'm stuck in a flat with some bad people and I need to pay them off to get out. Could you lend us a... Can I ask what they've been doing to you? I can't say, but it's bad, and I need £5,000, but by tomorrow morning it might be $6,500, so pay off now. Have they been pouring alcohol down Laurie's neck? We shouldn't laugh. It might be very, very serious. Who knows? Well, it is very serious. Well, it is for him. Yeah, exactly. We are, of course, talking about, oh, shit, I've forgotten his name already. Is it Mark? Mark. That was it. Or is it Mark Ming? Oh, yes. Good point. Or is it John Menzies? Do you remember them?

I do, yeah. Was that your funny beginning?

Yeah, that was it, sorry.

That was a letdown, wasn't it?

The middle and the end doesn't get much better, don't worry.

Now, how do you think that our dual episode first week has gone down? Are we not going to talk about him? Yeah, but after we've done that initial Natter, which apparently really annoys David Dimbabee, he doesn't like podcasts that have an initial few minutes of chatter. He wants to get into the nitty gritty of it. Does David Jimble would be listened to before? No, but he does apparently listen to other podcasts. I mean, he may

listen to ours, who knows, but he probably doesn't now. He doesn't now because of all the chatter

at the beginning. Um, I got good feedback. Yeah, I did actually too. I had, I liked the one where

somebody said that they could tell I was a teacher from the sloppy seconds. Yeah, yeah.

What did you think of the sloppy seconds title for the second episode?

Well, it was my suggestion.

Oh, was it?

Not surprisingly.

Why'd I got it in my head that it was my suggestion?

That's because it's the sort of thing people would expect me to suggest.

I said it in the lift on the way down with young Corey.

Oh dear.

Yes.

Did he start fanning himself?

He went, oh, I'll run that pass.
