| 0:00.0 | If I had to picture a moment of calmfulness, it would have to be at the beach. |
| 0:05.0 | On the edge of the sand, with the waves at my toes, what's yours? |
| 0:10.2 | Calm's Herbal Remedies. |
| 0:12.2 | Calm's days, a traditional herbal medicine used for stress, exclusively based on traditional use only, contains Valerian Root. Always read the label. |

| 0:24.3 | Little Bit Extra. Morning everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today. So we had a lot of |
| 0:29.6 | flack against Russell Brand in the papers today. People are saying the man's an idiot. The BBC, |
| 0:35.0 | obviously, hailing him as some sort of savior, which is odd, isn't it, really, |
| 0:37.7 | when you think that he's just an average comic, very average. I don't know why people |
| 0:41.4 | go to see him. I never thought he was funny. I never thought he was interested. He always looked |

| 1:34.0 | he's doing all this anarchic stuff. It's like Ben Elton. Years ago, Ben Elton was sort of, you know, |
| 1:39.4 | Labour, Labour, Labour, Labour. And then Ben Elton became a champagne socialist and started, you know, |
| 1:45.9 | writing musicals, if you please, with Andrew Lloyd Webber. You know, and his working-class roots went right out the window. |
| 1:49.7 | And all of a sudden, I should imagine, Ben Elton has probably got quite a bit of money in the bank. |
