Danny Wallace Ratee LX Which number is this, 11? 12, I think In the meantime, Danny, we can look at this screensaver of a nice beach. I can't see it. Oh, hold on a sec. There you go. Oh, there we go. Look at that. Look at that. Lovely, isn't it? Lovely beach. Nice yellow sand. You don't get weather like that in England very often, do you? Oh, you'd be surprised, Steve.

Really? Yeah. Well, I mean, I live in London smog, so... Well, no, no, you live in Billerickie. Yeah, well, it kind of comes under the bracket of London. Does it? Well, technically... What is it? Greater, Greater, Greater, Greater London.

But I like to think of it as London Plus.

Right.

Well, I live in Shanghai then.

Yes, it is episode 11.

Welcome to Podcast 11 from the important broadcast.

With me, Stephen Ferdinando, the Londoner, the Cockney. He lives right in the

heart of the big city. I don't know I was a Cockney. Getting the tube all the time, aren't you?

The London Underground and talking to cockle cellars. Yep. And eating a pack lunch of smoked eels as you fraternise with East End

gangsters. Yeah. And ride red buses. Yeah, you're always doing that. Make calls from red

telephone boxes. Constantly. I'm a beef eater. The classic Londoner. Who lives many miles outside London. No, it's not that far. Well, it is, really. Just because it's technically Essex, doesn't mean it's that far. To someone from Hull, I basically live in central London. Is that right? Does that how you see it? What's on the important podcast this week, Stephen? I'm glad you asked

Danny. We play chase the bumblebee. We do play chase the bumblebee. Now, already, ears

will be pricking up as people are going, what's that? What can that be? That sounds magical,

fantastical, rewarding as a listen. Is it any of that? Uh, sort of.

Yeah. I was really looking for a yes or something. But instead I got a pause, an er, and then a sort of.

No, no, it's pretty great. But listeners will definitely be thinking, what on earth are you talking about?

No, they won't. They'll be going, we understand this important broadcast. And if Danny's saying, we're going to play Chase the Bumblebee, we're going to play it.

Yeah, and that's what happens. Yeah, we do do that. We talk about Curry. We reward a listener. We talk to Nicola in Manchester. And there's a few chuckles along the way Just a couple, yeah

What do you mean just a couple? I said a few
