I'm Richard Porter. I'm Johnny Smith. And this is Smith and Sniff, a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and this week the time Johnny almost died.

I've got to say, Rich, that two things that I've forgot to mention last week. One. When I was clearing up the live show that we chatted about.

And I won't go on about it because it sounds too self-congratulatory, which is not supposed to be. It's just a case of surviving it.

We were I was clearing up by torchlight just making sure we hadn't left really obvious expensive things lying around.

And I realized I looked to my watch and I realized that the hotel would probably stop serving food. I had a mile panic and decided there and then that by the time I get back to the hotel all I'm going to get is you know,

oh, sorry sir, all you can have is a pint in a bar snack, which is okay. I'll take it over nothing. And I was ravenous because we'd skip lunch basically, haven't we?

And to that end, I realized someone had bought me lunch and I'd never finished it and I held on to it for hours. So what I did was and I'm going to put my hand in the answer. I'm not entirely sure this is right.

But I found the bin liner. I'd put it in the show ground and I opened it back up and it was still still in there.

And I carried on eating my dinner by torchlight on my own and it was stone cold like the chips were turgid like a body that had been found three days later.

But this was it was sealed in a polystyrene. It had been shut up in the thing and and it had only been put in there maybe an hour and a half before by me.

And I knew I knew which bin liner it was because I arranged the bin liners.

But it was a bit weird. Is that right? I ate out of a bin at my own event.

Bin food. I ate bin food. So you staged an inaugural live event with your name on it.

Yeah. It went very well. You were the star of the show. You got to stand on stage and say, thank you Kent. Good night.

And well, you didn't, but you could have done. I could have dropped a mic and everything.

You really were on on a glorious high from a successful live event and adulation or the rest of it.

But once all the people had left, you were eating bin food in the dark.

Yes, but with it with a head torch. Yes, exactly. It's a stark illustration of something rather. I'm not sure what.

But you know, at least you get grounded and then and then I'm probably because I'd already gone at this point.

Yeah, to get to see you. You were racking up the beer.

Well, because your wife told me to go. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she just went to get back to the hotel and get the beers in.

Yeah. And you did. So I did. But then actually because I got lost on the site, I didn't get back till after she was there.
