Do you ever get a little down in life?

Do you dream of that buff body but can't be bothered to actually do the work?

Of course you do. We all hate ourselves a little bit.

30 minutes from now, you'll feel so comparatively intelligent,

cultured and generally superior

that you'll wonder why you ever worried at all.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Flats and Shanks.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to this very episode

of our weekly podcast. I'm David Flatman.

I'm Tom Shanklin. All right, Tom.

Yeah, really good mate, how are you?

I'm all right, mate. I'm all right.

Bit less tired from last week?

Yeah, I think last week, feedback seemed to be reasonably decent,

but I left your mum's kitchen thinking,

not for the first time, I left your mum's house thinking I'd let myself down a bit.

I wouldn't have thought. I personally think she put the gas on

and it made us a little bit lethargic, but...

Yeah, maybe.

You know, we're doing the podcast from the BT Cardiff Arms Park

and you get to a rugby club and your energy levels rise

and come back to your roots, don't you, so?
