0:00.0 | If it wasn't for that moment, Alex and Sam wouldn't be lost in their favourite track at the club. |
0:07.0 | They wouldn't have shared that electric night front row at a music festival. |
0:12.0 | Or bonded over techno records talking all night long until the sun came up. |
0:17.0 | If it wasn't for that moment, when they were both scrolling on Tinder, and suddenly, |
0:22.6 | a relationship starts every three seconds on Tinder. |
0:27.6 | Download now, it starts with a swipe. |
0:29.6 | Three minutes after 12 is the time. You are listening to James O'Brien on LBC. |
0:33.6 | Sometimes I get taken by surprise by Mystery Hour. It's a lovely surprise as well, I have to tell you, because this is pretty much the most fun we have together in the week. It is your regular opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available, anywhere else on your radio. What happens is people ring in with questions. |
0:56.2 | It's a bit more exciting than I make it sound. |
0:58.0 | The best thing to do is to sort of suck it and see. |

1:16.3 | You know? So sometimes the journey is more important than the destination, isn't it? It's like a road trip. Think of Mystery Hour like a road trip. We're all in the car together, bantering. |
1:21.3 | And the destination is knowledge for which you may or may not be grateful at some subsequent point in the future. |
1:32.2 | To get into the car, you need to dial 03. No, you don't. To get into the car, you just need to have your radio on. |
1:44.8 | To help me drive, you need to dial 034-560-60-9773. Is this even more torturous than the plumbing analogy in the first hour of the program today. We've now turned mystery hour into a road trip with multiple drivers. |
1:54.4 | Countless hands on the steering wheel. If you want to grab my steering wheel, you need to dial 0345-6060-973 and then ask your question. |
1:59.9 | Someone else listening to it will almost certainly know the answer and they will ring in and provide it. |
