Hello, are you doing? I'm Craig Parkinson. You are listening to the two-shot podcast.

Sit yourself down, pop the kettle on. We're going to have a nice old chat.

Who's in with this week? I'm going to tell you right now.

How the devil are you? Yeah, I know, but let's face it, it would be more weird if I didn't open up an episode by saying that considering it's what I always do.

And let's face it, there's been enough weird times of late. We don't want to add on to any more.

And also, looking forward, there's some positivity on the horizon, isn't there? There is. Let's cling onto that.

So look, we're at the end of another week. It's Thursday. I hope you've had a good week. I hope you've managed to find and snatch some small pockets of joy.

However small they are. I've just come upstairs. I've been home schooling all day and these downstairs and I won't get a minute's peace if I didn't nip up here.

So now speaking of homeschooling, I think we kick off this week's episode with the brilliant Lady Farsad, having it a bit of a moan about homeschooling.

Not too much because I know a lot of you aren't doing that, but some of you are and all I'm going to say is,

it's the eighth. It's the eighth. Yeah, of course. We'll get there. And they will as well. They will. And that's what is the most important thing.

Apart from the fact that I'm a terrible math teacher, although I have found out I'm quite a good than a lady. So swings around about.

So as we touch on the start of this episode, I unlocked the genius show that is I hate Susie last year.

An actress burst onto the scene called Lady Farsad and I'd never seen him before and I was blown away. She was brilliant, absolutely fantastic.

Someone comes in and makes such an impact on a show. I really wanted to reach out and get in touch with her and see if she would come on and lucky for me and lucky for you.

She said yes. So a couple of Saturdays ago, we got together in separate houses, obviously. And I had a really fantastic conversation.

And I know I said this a lot, but when I haven't met anybody or had any sort of communication with them, look, you don't know what is going on, especially now, especially now.

But it was genuinely like chatting with an old friend. And after we stopped recording, we ended up talking for another 30, 45 minutes after that.

And yeah, she's fantastic. And it's very funny. I haven't told Lady this. She doesn't know certain people got in touch with me via DMs going, she's incredible. I want to marry her.

And I think after listening to this episode, you will feel the same. So look, I'm just saying there's a long line for taking Lady Sander marriage.

Although, you know, she's taken, but she's got a lot of fans out there and I think she's going to have a fair few more after this episode.

Well, let's get down to it. This is episode 142 of the two-shot podcast with the remarkable, I must say, Laila Farzad, enjoy, and I shall see you at the end. Sort of.
