Well this is a bit different. I actually feel a little bit uneasy about this entire situation where recording in a makeshift studio are Airbnb.

Paul Wallace is here. I'm the host today. Obviously that's why I'm sat in the middle. You still haven't made any kind of host position.

You are now a guest on the main behind the glass show. Is that promotion? I don't know whether that's it. It's a promotion.

Is it? It's a promotion. I'm sat next to him. I worry about the direction that this podcast is going to go in.

If you've been listening to recent episodes you'll know that Tony and I have been teasing this for a while. We're on a road trip.

Oh my god. It started a few days ago. It's exciting. And we've made it to our, well really our premier destination.

It's our destination, isn't it? Yeah. It's the only destination. We've driven to here. Yes, you're right. Five few other places.

We're in Monaco. We're not in Monaco. Paul, I couldn't afford to stay in Monaco. So we've come to Menton, which is just down the bay.

Tony's fuming. Because his usual best mates in the four seasons who you start, Mr. Gravelwood, you've come back.

We have to be honest here. All of the five Sarhotels were books, weren't they?

Well, I'm not going to afford them even if they were open. He's looking at me giving me the eagles.

I know the man at the door, he's got a symbol here. I can't even afford a valet part.

But anyway, we wanted to bring you, of course, a weekly episode of the show. But we thought also a sort of behind the scenes of this road trip.

Our first video, Paul and I's first videos from the trip have gone out. Really? I think my main channel's in a bit of a funk at the minute in terms of views and algorithm.

Tony, I know you teased the fact that we're going to do a YouTube special episode at some point where I talk about my experiences.

Paul, I'm sure you're going to test this. Every YouTuber goes through peaks and troughs, right?

It's part of the business. You've got to ride out the troughs and then cruise on the peaks.
