BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, podcasts.

What was great for me, from both a patient and a doctor side, and I often have told people to go back to the pod, is that actually you guys were talking about all the things that really matters, going through treatment, but also the stuff after cancer and the stuff, you know, from relationships to sex to like financial problems. And I just think it was really refreshing.

It's one of the tools that definitely for me was in my toolbox.

Hello and welcome back to you, me, in the Big Sea.

God, it feels good to say that.

Oh, my goodness me, this is glorious, isn't it? I know. I feel like... We're in the old studio. Yeah. I'm sat in my old seat. You're sat in your old seat.

It's been a little while, hasn't it?

Do you know what as well? It's nice. It's been a little while, but I feel like the last times we were here, it was like really emotional and heavy. Yeah. And now it just feels really exciting. It's cool, isn't it? We came up the stairs. both of us just like little kids in a sweet shop going,

you know, just how exciting it was.

And we walked into the studio,

we had an option of a couple of different

studios. We're in our old studio. Yeah, we put our foot down, did with Steve. With Mike and out

behind the glass, as always. Hi, boys. Yay. It just feels absolutely brilliant to be back. And it's

been, it's been such a long time. You know, I can't even think of the last time we recorded I'm trying to think not as a as a crew yeah

like we've done legacies and stuff haven't we and we've done the odd episodes but how are you mister

I'm good I'm good you know it's life is is very different now I have I twins who are nearly three years old. I've got a 10 year old who's nearly in the same height as me. He's so tall.

It's all all a bit mad. Life moves really, really quickly, doesn't it? Yeah, I can't believe it. I like, I'm by the seaside now, bro.

You eat fish and chips all the time and cockles and stuff.

I'm down there where I'm a pearly king and or queen, whichever you prefer. Have you never seen pearly kings and queens from the East End? No. Oh my, I need to teach you. Do you eat cockles? No. I bet you eat cockles. No, I eat muscles. Eat cockles and muscles.
