Radio X.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the podcast. Hello, mate. How you doing? Yeah, good, man, yeah. Yeah, really good. Hey, Vin. Hello, you're right. Very good, thanks very much. What are you doing here? Well, you know what? I'm about to record the podcast portion of our, of our radio show. Okay, carry on. Great. Thanks very much. Thank you for the permission. So yeah, this was,

I think we're allowed to say it was a pre-record.

Uh, show. Okay. Carry on. Great. Thanks very much. Thank you for the permission. So yeah, this was, I think we're allowed to say it was a pre-record, which is why we had the theme of sand. Yes. So thank you to everybody, by the way, who slid into my DMs on Twitter and on Instagram. Loads of great sand chat coming up in the show. Loads of great sand chat. Really, really good Sandchat. Really really funny stuff. I like it. It's so weird.

I like it. It's so weird. I like it. It's nice to have that sort of that link to the listeners. But they can just tweet you anyway? Not the stuff they send me. They get their accounts taken away. At the very least, they get shadow banned.

No, I, yeah, it's, I like it.

Although I do, what tends to happen is people send me a message, I'll reply, and then I never get reply back.

It's like, come on, guys, I thought we were pen pals.

They blocked you in the end, then.

But we've had some great messages in non-Sand related. Yes. I wanted to read Johnny and Newcastles. Yeah, I've just cast my eyes over that. It's good. It's good stuff, man. It's funny, man. This is about thick moments. Howdy Crunch and Crumble. Thick moment for you. As me and my girlfriend have recently purchased our own home,

I've had to learn some basic and severely lacking DIY skills for someone in the late 20s.

For my first bit of DIY, I decided to hang a towel rack on the bathroom door.

Great. Great call. I lined it up, drilled in the two holes required, made sure the wall plugs fit,

screwed in said towel rack, made a final check with the spirit level, perfect. Could not have been happier with my first proper DIY job. Proceeded to close the bathroom door. The tower rack was on the

outside of the bathroom. Great. Like a 70s sitcom. Q the most embarrassed I've ever felt. This might be the only person in the house at the time. Q me trying to rationalise having my towels on the outside to no avail. Exactly what I would have done. Quickly repeated the job on the other side and Pollyfielded in the outside holes. Never told the girlfriend what happened. Good luck in the charts this week. Johnny and Newcastle. That's fantastic. That's really good. I would have left it there.

Yeah. Me too. Well, they could dry easier outside of the sort of steamy environment. I think, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And as you're walking in, you grab a towel as you're walking in. Yeah. And then just, I know, chuck on the floor or something. this is sand related we this in, and I didn't read it on the show because, well, you'll see why it's quite specific. This is from Natasha in London. When I was a kid growing up in Worthing, there was a shop at the seaside that only opened when it was sandy. It was a goring gap on the beach, so it was open more often than you'd expect, but unfortunately, I never caught it at the right time, as it was also closed at night. If the beach wasn't sandy, I'm not sure what would have happened, but maybe the shop would have closed. My friend Carol lived nearby and managed to get inside a couple of times. She said it sold mainly beach umbrellas and other knick-knacks, Natasha in London. Thanks, Natasha. Thank you, Natasha.

What a baffling show we've created.

It's really bizarre, isn't it?

This is a great message from Andrew Cox.

And I'm not sure why he sent it. It was a DM, yeah, yeah.

How's he spelling his surname?
