Summary
Jonny's got the lurgy and Richard has been told off by a dentist. Also in this episode, struggling to recall Kim Basinger's music career, buying out of date sweets from Jeff Bezos's lock-up, going nuts with one of those suitcase cellophane machines, the pros and cons of space exploration, and whatever happened to Tasmin Archer? Plus, wanting a Hillman Imp over a Mini, going on a long trip in a Porsche Taycan, baristas racing high speed car chargers, EVs sounding like the choir of the dead, and everyone knew someone at college who had a didgeridoo. This episode also features two remarkable stories from listeners, one about a scary Kiwi car selling experience and one about trying to wee into a bottle at the wheel of a fast-moving Lotus.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Richard Porter, and I'm Johnny Smith, and this is Smith and Smith, the podcast in which two |
| 0:06.2 | friends struggle to talk about cars this week. This is really sickly and sickly, isn't it, |
| 0:16.2 | this week? Yeah, I urge you not to make me laugh very much because I've got a cough that's |
| 0:24.6 | one of those ones that once it gets tickled a bit, it starts dieseling, you know, and my worry is |
| 0:34.4 | that you're shut the ignition off and it'll just keep going and it's actually painful. Yeah, |
| 0:40.3 | like my mates old Mini used to do. Oh, they're running on, did it keep running on? All right, |
| 0:44.8 | it was a bastard for running on sometimes, and it wasn't that old either, this is in the 90s, |
| 0:48.2 | and it was a 90s Mini, but oh well. Oh, well, this is a, oh gosh, I've got a really |
| 1:03.7 | navigate. It's so ticklish to the throat, I've got to really kind of talk around it if I can. |
| 1:09.7 | I'm trying to, if I sound like I'm talking quieter than usual, it's because I am, I'm trying to |
| 1:16.1 | channel my late night DJ where I don't, I don't sort of aggravate my tonsils too much. |
| 1:24.0 | We should explain, then. You've got COVID-19. Apparently, yeah. |
| 1:29.6 | I'm still not fully convinced I have, but a little sick. What do you think it is? I don't know, |
| 1:35.9 | terrible flu. It's about the same, but with no sense of taste. So yeah, you've got some kind of |
| 1:44.0 | lurgy that may be the fashionable coronavirus that's going around and the kids are talking about. |
| 1:51.1 | I'm not actually that sickly. I think I've got a tiny bit of a cold, but also I had to get the |
| 1:55.0 | dentist a couple of days ago, and I have got to go and have a root canal thing done, |
| 2:02.3 | because I've had really bad toothache for the past four nights, and it's not been very pleasant. |
| 2:07.2 | But I also got a massive bolicking from the dental hygienist for brushing my teeth wrong, |
| 2:12.9 | which may be some of the cause of this. And now that's interesting. Well, it turns out |
| 2:18.3 | that if you have an electric toothbrush, you don't use it the way that I've been using it for |
| 2:22.6 | about, I don't know, 10 years or something. What were you doing wrong exactly? I mean, there's |
