Well, hello, lovely to have you again.

Today's guest is a fabulous comedian who is known for his ambitious shows and TV series.

You might know him from Modern Life is Goodish and Genius or Google Wack Adventure. It's Dave Gorman and his five brilliant things

go like this. So here we're here on a Friday and everyone's quite excited. We've started by the

what is a normal Friday for you? Everyone's very giddy because there's not as many people on

the trains

today coming into London. Was that your... No, I came into London last night. Okay. That's you,

that's commitment. Yeah. You prepped for this. And mainly... Do we owe you money for a hotel, Dave?

Mainly that was an excuse. So I didn't have to do the school run this morning, which is my normal Friday.

So you had a lion?

Sort of.

I hope to have a lion, but my son wakes up every morning around sex.

And even when I'm not in a building with him, he has now turned my body clock into a thing that wakes up at

sex. Wow, that's interesting. So I haven't had a lion, what you and I would call a lion

for nine years or more. So we're talking mind control? Yeah. So, and how old is your son?

He is nine. And how long has he had this gift? He has, he has never been a sleeper, ever. And everyone

goes, oh, it's a phase. This phase is that it nine in years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But presumably when he

gets to kind of, you know, you've got four or five more years and he hits teenage, surely he's

a sleeper then. Has anyone met a teenage boy that didn't have a lion? No, I think by then he will do, but he will have ruined our life, so we will then ruin his. We will then be going, get up, you did this to us for 13 years. And this is the seesaw of the government. And it's your fault that we're up. We were lying people till you came along and ruined that. And then he gets to about 25 and you've sought, and then you're getting there. Do you know what I mean? When he comes back to see you and your misses, he's getting up at nine and the whole family's fine. Everyone's happening. Exactly. That's the long game. That's what we're aiming for. It's a long road, but it's worth it, I think. Fantastic.

What is the first brilliant thing you'd like to talk about?

The first brilliant thing, and I've brought it in, is a deck of cards.

Okay.
