Hello and welcome to podcast of the Lotus Eaters. I'm joined by Josh and Harry. Hello.

We're here. So this is episode 1382. It is Wednesday the 25th of March year of our Lord

2026 and it is day 31 of me offering to platt Harry's hair.

Still no budging on that, sorry, friend.

Okay, well, is either that, or maybe... Get you a couple of little pigtails down either side, turn you into a right little sex pot.

This is a very specific fetish that you're appealing to right now, and I don't want any part of it, frankly.

Okay, well, maybe that's what you get up to in London, but we're not in London.

Yeah, well, neither am I, but okay, right, fine.

So, oh, also, the chat has stopped working.

We don't know why, but it has.

I don't know, maybe they get to show my hand or something. I don't know. Oh, there you go. Nobody's told me. to hang out with us, I think, is the idea. I don't know, maybe they get to show my hand or something, I don't know. Oh, there you go. Nobody's told me. They get to hang out with us, I think, is the idea. I don't know. But yes, it's going on if you'd like to come and listen to us live and have some fun and meet some of the other people in the audience. That is the place to do it.
