Summary

Where do we begin when describing this week's guest? He’s a radio presenter, writer, filmmaker, comedian, actor, cult leader… the list goes on. But perhaps the best way of getting to know Danny Wallace is by inviting him to discuss his pub memories, desires and dreams whilst hunched over a pint at The Moon Under Water.

Danny knows how to paint a picture with words, and in creating his dream alehouse he fully hypnotised John and Robin. There’s talk of “magic” beers, losing his warm regional accent (something that John reiterates really could have given him a foot up in the voice over game) and wine tasting escapades.

After listening to this you’ll ask yourself “Do I want to visit Danny Wallace’s dream pub?” and there will only be one answer: “Yes, man!”.

0:00.0	At the aching hour, hear the mind's lament and unfold yourself.

1:25.0	and the brass has been shone.
1:26.3	So it's just got a lovely leathery feel.
1:29.0	We've got some lovely horse brasses around the fireplace and a sithe above the fireplace, weirdly.
1:37.0	It's been professionally blunted so that it can't be used in any argument, if we have an argument.
1:42.5	No, but it's a nice reminder of...
1:44.4	That we could potentially scythe each other.
1:46.7	Yeah, you know.
1:48.4	But I think also it speaks to the scythe of time.
1:51.0	The scythe of time is very much present in the moon underwater sometimes,
1:55.8	although time lasts forever there, is it?
1:58.1	And doesn't exist.
1:59.3	Yes, of course.
2:01.1	Everyone's thrown their watches down the drain.
2:03.5	The only clock we have is a scythe.
2:06.6	The only clock we have is a scythe.
2:10.1	Because it represents the mowing and harvesting of both the weak and the strong.
