Hello and welcome to another series of Movers and Shakers, the award-winning podcast about living with parties. As usual, we're in the pub having a giggle and a groan, so let's start by finding out who we are. I am Paul Mayhew Archer. I am Rory Kettl. I am Mark Maudell. I'm Trillian Lacey Solomon. Nicholas Mostyn. And as we're at the start of a new year, we've each bought one piece of parking news with us. What did I mean up to? Yes. Well, I have been, strangely, to Las Vegas. Sure. Why? I was revisiting my past. I used to go to Las Vegas every year as BBC Technology Corresponders to cover a grotesque technology show called CES. I got invited to go

back. So I went back, spent four days roaming this vast, horrendous exhibition. In Search of a

Hot Dog? In Search of a Hot Dog, yes. In search of a hot piece of tech. And the best thing I saw

was some interactive Lego, which I quite enjoyed. But there was a lot of health tech stuff, which I'm interested in and write about. That was all good fun, but I'm still jet lagged a few days later. But did you ever get the hot dog? Because you posted a picture. Oh, yes, that's right. Yeah. There were some weird lunch where they served hot dog rolls but no hot dogs, which was disappointing to say the least. Well, that was gripping. Anyway, Mark. Well, I've been engaged in a battle with Turkish Airlines, which I think I won, but I'll tell you a bit more about that later. Oh, my. Jillian. I've been in the sunshine, and I had the thing extraordinary happen, which was that I just got better. I mean, I'm not saying better, better, but so much better. I was able to drop my drugs and lengthen the time between the drugs. And pump is gone. For the last two weeks, I haven't used the pump at all. You've given up the pump? Wow. Yeah. Wow. I mean, it's just extraordinary.

It is.

It's a red light.

I don't know.

Mike thinks it's definitely the light.

What we were doing was getting up for dawn and we saw the sun come up at five. I mean, I can't believe it could be that. But this is what we did. We got up at 5.30. When the sun went down, we went to sleep, not immediately, but you know, we were living pretty much on UK time, really, which is four hours difference.

Where were you? When the sun went down, we went to sleep, not immediately, but, you know, we were living pretty much on UK time, really, which is four hours difference.

Where were you?

Where were you?

Antigua.

I'd feel better if I was in Antigua.

If I speak to my doctor, would he prescribe on the NHS?

Yes, no, that would have been nice.
