Hello. Hello. Hello. Good to say hello in a few different ways to it feels right.

This first bit is the intro and I'm saying hello to you. Oh my gosh, today I've got my cotton buds.

You like this one. You're like this entertaining sort of...

Well, I don't think we can call it an anecdote really.

But you know the cotton buds that you put in your ear to get the wax out?

Go on. Keep talking.

I order some.

A normal cotton bud is like the size of your finger.

It was about meter long.

It's like the cotton bit on the end so if you wanted to sort of declog

someone's ear that was a metre away it's I don't know if it was a COVID thing but you wouldn't

declog someone's ear that you weren't living with it'd have to be a partner or a baby or something

I just cannot understand why you'd need a baby or something. I just cannot

understand why you'd need a metre long range. So I didn't open them, but I said, can I send

these back? And they were like, no, you can't send this stuff back, even though they were sealed

in a plastic bag. What a load of duty. Should I leave a bad review? I don't like too comically, but also, I don't think they mentioned on them,

but they were super long ones. Anyway, nothing to do with the podcast today. We've got the

lovely Alison Spittle on. She's great. She's a really good comedian, writer. She does her own

podcast. Well, yeah, I'll tell you what, let's just, um, let's bring her in the room now. Come in.

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm good, yeah.
