Summary

Steve's wedding continues to hove into view and he's been on a stag do, so what happened? The Great Leader wasn't invited, that's for sure. No matter, because he was far too busy with much higher-minded matters. Plus, three dedications (see below) and a deep-dive into the historical accuracy of The Flintstones.

Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.uk

This week's podcast is dedicated to Jamie Huggett, Charlotte GLC & "name withheld" and Noah Taylor.

Thank you.

Well, hello and welcome to another important broadcast podcast brought to you by us.

0:15.3

And my goodness me, what a lot we have to get through.

0:17.3

You'll never believe it.

0:18.2

You'll never believe it.

0:19.2

If someone were to run up to you later on today and knock on your door and say, the important broadcast today, have you heard it yet?

0:26.7

No, not yet. I've been too busy. What? Don't let the great leader here. You'll never believe what's in it.

0:32.2

And then they say, my goodness me, it's like a triple dedication. There's a mail bag. There's all sorts going on. I prefer it in those Swiss villages where they just blast the broadcast out of the windows and everyone kind of stops in this tree. All the farmers. It's probably community. It's a lovely way. The way they do it in Switzerland is it's a blueprint for how it should be done all over the world.

0:55.0

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:56.0

Because people get together and it's a lovely thing.

0:58.0

They do.

0:59.0

They use the alpine horns as a sort of a long speaker system and the farmer plays it out.

1:05.0

Or actually sometimes the farmer's listening on like a podcast, like the earphones,

1:09.0

and then uses the alpine horn as a, well, a loudspeaker.

1:14.2

Yeah. Now they're talking aloud. You know, and then it'll be whatever the things we're talking

1:18.7

about today. For example, dashboards.

1:21.2

Dashboards. I got a pretty serious confession. His confession. Oh, yeah, his confession.

1:27.5

Joe's confession. Can I kick you off with a joke of yours I'd like to steal? Oh, yes. Wait, are you going to give away a joke I do later? No, no, no. Oh, it's a joke I do that you're going to steal. Well, just to do at him, or you want it for a different event. Is it one of my regulars? It's one of your regulars that you like to do during the cash call. Do the cash calls ever make into the podcast, Joe? Sometimes I... Over the last few weeks... What cash call? Over the last few weeks, podcast listeners will have heard little excerpts of the cash call. I don't put the whole thing in because I don't want people trying to enter a competition that's already finished. And it's a corporate read. But you make so many back references to it throughout the hour because people have texting... It makes it impossible not to. People are texting to compliment you on how well you've done. Without that in the podcast, there would be no context. That's true. My hand has been forced. Yeah, okay. Well, I'm thinking for my vows that I'll have to do at the wedding. Yeah, I know what you're going to do. I'll stand up and then I'll go, okay, I'm going to say this, and then I'm going to go. Yeah, that bit the podcast listeners won't have heard. They tend to hear the back end of the cast. It's a nice thing to do. You just go, you know, some important thing you have to do. You just go, ladies and gents, thank you so much. I just want to say a few words about my darling wife. And then I got to go. Yeah, and then I got to go. Then I'm going to go. I promise, I'll be out of you here in a minute.

2:52.2

It's good stuff.

2:53.5

Okay, one last thing.
