| 0:00.0 | Okay, James, I need you to do a few more drops than yesterday, I'm afraid. |
| 0:04.7 | Carl needs to find another driver for his expanding courier business, someone who will really |
| 0:09.3 | help to lighten the load. Any issues, give me a call. Indeed can help him find great people fast. |
| 0:15.4 | I need Indeed. Indeed, you do. Schedule and conduct virtual interviews easily, all on Indeed. |
| 0:24.2 | To start hiring, visitindeed.com slash try today. |
| 0:29.8 | Three minutes after 10 is the time. |
| 0:31.8 | You're listening to James O'Brien on LBC, where I wasn't going to do this. |
| 0:36.0 | I was going to weigh in on the freedom of movement, the return of freedom of movement, although obviously it's not freedom of movement and neither is it liberty of motion, but it is an extension to European Union citizens, a potential extension to European Union citizens of, for the under 30s, if you like, that the young Europeans could come and live and work in Britain as part of a wider reset of relations. |

| 1:36.6 | I don't know if I was even, I must have been a dad, but Nick Ferrari's kids are older than mine. |
| 1:40.3 | His sons are quite a bit older than mine. |
| 1:42.9 | And I remember him approaching the subject |
| 1:46.5 | to phone ins on the morning of exam results with the knowledge that there will be people listening |
| 1:50.9 | who haven't done very well or haven't done as well as they hoped. And of course there will be the |
| 1:55.2 | parents listening. And that really stayed with me. And as a result of that, in many ways, I've stayed away from the subject entirely. |
| 2:04.4 | I haven't sort of thrown open the phone lines to A-level results day or GCSE results day. |
