Hello, this is Marina Hyde here from Golhangers, the Restors Entertainment podcast. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Hotel Chocolat. Now, we talk an awful lot about different creatives, actors, directors, and the main thing we're looking for is someone who's one of a kind. I actually also, as you know, talk quite a lot about my valvertiser. They've got.... You actually do, to be sure. I genuinely do. This is landed. This is the product that I basically asked to advertise. Yeah. There is an all new valvertiser, yes, from her time. I know this is an advert, but I just want to assure everyone listening. It's also sort of not an advert. This is real. I'm looking. Because you banged on about it a lot. As you know, I have a advertiser. Very, very recently at the end of November, my father's birthday, I'm looking. Because you banged on about it a lot. Okay, as you know, I have a valetiser.

Very, very recently at the end of November, my father's birthday, I bought the all-new valvertiser room. I ran my mother and said, has you had it yet? You know, we haven't set it up yet. I said, no, no, you just take it out of the box and plug it in. and then there's a button and you can press,

you can do hot or cold,

like barista level hot chocolate.

Doesn't I don't often talk about thermodynamics when I talk about chocolate, but I understand that you love the velveterizer. What I do know is the engineers at Hotel Chocolate have created what they think is the perfect cup of hot chocolate or cold chocolate. You seem to agree with them as well. Oh, it is. And everything you need is in that

package. Gift the magic of the all-new valvertiser this Christmas. Visit Hotel

Hello, Empire listeners. I'm Michael Stevens.

And I'm Professor Hannah Fry. Well, okay, firstly, thank you to these amazing hosts for letting us take over your channel to tell you about our new show for Goalhanger. The rest is science. Every week we take a fresh look at the familiar. We're going to be exploring the forces, the theories and the phenomena that shape how we live in, think about and see the world.
