Summary

Today we're truly honoured to be joined by the hottest property on tiktok in Big John, a man who's amassed over 2 million followers for his love of Chinese food, his robust physique & his usage of the word 'Bosh'. We discuss with him everything from; his meteoric rise and how it came about, his thoughts on influencers boxing, his hatred for 'wokeism', how his business went bust and he nearly went bankrupt during covid, Archie's naked routine to help him lose weight, why Essex lads are obsessed with 'packet', how he's become an official England rugby ambassador, the trouble he gets into during his live appearances at rural night clubs and much much more....
Plus Archie calls a pub in Clapham to try and book a Falcons social, gives us his thoughts on the Six Nations and a lot more ridiculousness in between.

0:22.8	Yeah, that'd be great.
0:24.4	No, I have a theatre mate.
0:26.4	That's all I have I'm afraid.
0:27.4	Oh right, can we put, do you think we could borrow the theatre
0:29.4	by private event?
0:30.4	No, no, they have plays on.
0:32.4	Unless you want to share the stage.
0:33.7	And I still don't think that'd be up for that. Is there a play on Saturday? It's just that I'm
