Summary

*This is part 2 of Adam Kay's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*

"There's a famous joke that does the rounds at The Moon Under Water: ""Doctor Doctor, I feel like a pint of ale""... ""Well, get yourself down to The Moon Under Water then!"" It's an absolute classic, and it goes down a storm every time it's told - and even though it's now been told over a million times in the Correct Realm, we're still going to try it on our next guest. It's writer, comedian, and former doctor Adam Kay.

It's a known fact that if you're reading this then you own a copy of Adam's smash-hit book This Is Going To Hurt. Though he touches on pubs throughout the book, he doesn't really get ""bogged down"" in the reasons why he loves pubs... which is why we're so excited for him to join us at The Moon Under Water!

His latest book Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients is available in paperback on 8th June."

0:02.0	Oh Welcome back, everyone. It's the landlord, John Robbins here with the lovely Robin Allender and also author, comedian, performer, writer, Adam K. Adam, it's pleasure so far to furnish your dream pub. We're going to get
0:40.1	back into it very soon, but we have the very small matter of these floating and sinking tenterhooks,
0:45.6	Robin. Thanks, John. Yes, it was all about fruit. Does it float or does it sink? Question one was
0:51.9	lemons, Adam. So I think I'm confident here. Yeah. Because there was a thing
0:58.7	up in the Edinburgh Festival, maybe five years ago, where there would be on the counter of a pub,
1:06.8	there'd be a jug of water. And a sign that said said if you can balance the coin on the lemon,
1:14.2	you would keep all of the coins in the thing.
1:17.4	And I'm pretty sure the lemon was floating.
1:19.2	So I'm saying that's a floater.
1:22.1	Yeah, John.
1:23.5	Yes, Adam's absolutely right.
1:25.2	And I can't believe I didn't think of it in those terms because
1:29.1	the Highbury Vaults in Bristol has this very thing with an incredibly, not passive
1:34.8	aggressive, a genuinely aggressive sign. A lot of the signs in the Highbury Vaults are quite
1:39.4	aggressive. Basically, seeing off every potential moan or complaint you may have about the game because it is
1:48.3	impossible to do.
1:49.7	Is it impossible?
1:50.9	Yeah.
1:51.2	Is it like the hanging for like 100 seconds on the bar?
1:54.7	Yeah.
1:54.9	It's like the human body can't, the human lemon can't do it.
