Summary
In this week’s bonus episode, comedian Matt Forde shares the 5 things he is currently grateful for.
This is a list that John had been looking forward to, and it doesn’t disappoint. Granted, Matt does stray a little further than the permitted 5, but why shouldn’t he be allowed to express his gratitude for grass?
Head to the main episode to hear about Matt’s cancer journey; from contemplating having not long left to live, to receiving words of wisdom from football manager Sean Dyche.
