Hello and welcome to Something's Off with Andrew Heaton. I'm your host

Andrew Heaton and if we lived in the same city I would absolutely come pick you up

from the airport. It's Friday and that means it's time for Friday release valve, where I flat out give up on trying

to be substantive.

In a moment, I will bring on my good friend and frequent comedy co-conspirator, Turner to sparks but before that we do need to pay

the bills and that means a word from our sponsor.

Something's off with Andrew Heaton is brought to you by formal plumbers, the best-dressed plumbers on the market, which is the metric

by which all sane people select plumbers.

Several of you have written in this week saying how much you enjoy the punctuality and clear professional competence of formal plumbers.

But that their Tony elegant menswear makes you feel underd dressed when they visit your house.

A fan of the show Sarah wrote in telling me that whenever the formal plumbers come over, she feels compelled to put on makeup and pearls and high heels and go out and buy a fresh tiara.

Sarah, you really don't need to do that.

Formal plumbers are formal all right,

but you don't need to be formal.

You can wear pajamas, whatever, just whatever you want.

Now that said, other people have written in with very similar concerns.

Mitch writes, whenever the formal plumbers come over I feel so underdressed that I sneak upstairs and put on pearls in a terror, but even then I still feel so underdressed

that I have to put on a fake British accent, but I'm not good at a fake British accent,

so I just sound Australian.

Right.

Again, you don't need to feel pressure

to put on pearls or an accent or anything.
