When flustered one morning, why did Jane put some stockings on the end of her vacuum cleaner?

The answer to that, at the end of the show.

My name's Tom Scott, and this is Lateral.

Welcome and thank you for listening to Lateral.

Your download means that we are one step closer to our goal of beating the

relaxing white noise podcast in the charts. Although, I want to read out the questions on the show,

I often hear hissing noises too. Let's meet our guests. It is the return of all the team from

Let's Learn Everything. We'll start today with Ella Hubber. What's up? Tom Scott.

No, I just, normally I ask a question at this point, don't I?

Normally I tee you up with something. I just just said your name.

But now we ask you a question.

This is the last one we're recording in this block, and there is, as that always seems to be when you're around,

this kind of just chaotic end of term energy. That's what I said last time. I'm saying it again now.

It's going to be one of those shows. Tom Lum there chiming in. How, and how are you, Tom, how are

things? Hold it together. Hold it together. I saw a thing the other day that said,

you know, how are you?

It's like, absolutely terrible,

but for the purposes of this conversation,

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm delighted to be here.

I'm like, I got called a kiss ass last time for being nice.
