Jack Henry, guess Guess what? Oh what, I'm gone.
Speaker 2:Yes, again.
Speaker 1:Well, actually this is the first time I've gone. Yes, we do mention it again because we're recording a few episodes in one day In a funny order, in a really weird order, not chronologically you don't need to know that. You don't need to know, but basically I'm now in New York for nearly a month. Yeah, it's quite frightening. It's very peaceful here. By this point I'll already be what two weeks in.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So, yeah, At this point I'm finding it difficult to sit down.
Speaker 1:Of course, because the other week you had quite the challenge.
Speaker 2:Yeah, obviously I'm doing the Jack's Drive to save lives, saving lives day by day, trying to raise £30,000 before my 30th birthday. All sorts of different challenges. Obviously, we've talked about some of them in the past. We talked about the Maldon Mud Race not so long ago.
Speaker 1:You know we never talked about your dip in the sea Because that came in between seasons In January.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was cold, that was really cold.
Speaker 1:Lynn Hawker, put a note down your shorts.
Speaker 2:She did With expert precision. Oh as in into the waistband. Oh good, yeah, it was like she's been to certain clubs where that's acceptable in the past.
Speaker 1:She told me a great story the other day, lynn, about when she went to see Rocky Horror she's a big Rocky Horror fan, yeah, and she told me about the outfit she wore.
Speaker 2:I can imagine Lynn does get a lot of shout outs on this podcast. I like her. Somebody pointed this out to me the other day, did they? Who was it? Lynn can't remember possibly, but yes, obviously because we talked about your holiday with her.
Speaker 1:Uh, that's upcoming it's like an extended member of staff, though yes, that's very true.
Speaker 2:That's true. Well, hello, lynn. Hi lynn, um, yeah, very cold, but obviously the other week, um, I completed the london to brighton cycle whoa, 54 miles. Talk to me about your route. We started in clapham common and and originally I was supposed to start at 9am but I went. Actually, I want to talk about this a little bit. Before all of that, I want to say a big thank you to Keith Isaacs and all the guys at the MCA, which is the children's charity. They do a lot of fundraising for children with brain tumours and things like that and they do an incredible job.
Speaker 1:They do a wonderful job. Go and check with brain tumours and things like that and they do an incredible job. They do a wonderful job.
Speaker 2:Go and check out the MCA if you have a chance. But Keith, back in December Christmas, said I've got 13 places on the London to Brighton Cycle event. Would you like to take part? And I said yes. I said I've got six months, there's plenty of time. To you know, did you do any training at all? No, well, that's. I mean I jumped on, uh, one of the bikes in the gym once, once and how many miles did you do I? Didn't I must have. I only did like an hour or so on the bike.
Speaker 1:Right, and how long was the real cycle?
Speaker 2:On the bike. It took me just under six hours. Wow, Overall it was like eight and a half hours because of stopping, Because of stopping.
Speaker 1:You know your tracker. I wasn't tracking you because I was busy, but according to other guests, your tracker was all over the place.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, it kept going backwards, it kept going backwards, it kept going backwards.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you would. You'd be going Cycling in reverse and then you'd be cycling in reverse. Yeah, then you'd freeze for like an hour. So by the time you'd actually finished, your point on the tracker had only really just started.
Speaker 2:Well, no, it was following me along the route at certain points, but it didn't. It definitely froze before I finished, which was quite funny. I thought, um, but so originally this is part of the story really. So I had to turn up. I got picked up, um in essex by keith and taken to to clapham common. My start time was nine, but everybody else's was was eight o'clock, so they were all leaving ahead of me and there was another guy who also was finished, starting at nine, and they said what happens is we'll take your chip through the start line and you just meet us a little bit further down the route, like because basically it's all fenced off, yeah, so they take it off the start line. I mean, I'm probably not allowed to say this, but but anyway, and then we'll just cycle together so you can start an hour earlier. But I had to pick up my GeoTag thing and I'd already clipped my other chip to the front of my bike so I couldn't unclip it.
Speaker 1:Speaking of bikes. Jack, I've got a question for you. Yeah, On the video where you were walking to the pickup point, you were carrying your phone.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You were carrying a water bottle, yes, but no bike, no bike. So how did you cycle with no bike?
Speaker 2:It was quite an ordeal, to be honest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Was it like when we did our cycle to work video? It was a little bit yeah.
Speaker 2:It was a CGI bike the whole time. No, fortunately Keith again actually managed to sort out a proper road bike for me. So one of the other guys Tom, who was, who was cycling with us? They're always called Tom. They're always called Tom.
Speaker 1:I didn't see Tom the entire time. But he was there. Cyclists were always Tom Tom.
Speaker 2:Yes, actually, that's true, because Faye's husband, when I was meant to train for it, faye's husband, tom, actually lent me his road bike which I didn't ever use.
Speaker 1:They're either called Tom, oliver or Jacob. Yeah, those are all cyclists' names. Yes.
Speaker 2:Go out for like a couple of hours on the weekend.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but no, so I actually I didn't even see my bike until I made it to Clapham Common.
Speaker 1:And then what was your reaction when you saw your bike for the first time? Did you think we're going to have a long relationship?
Speaker 2:It was handed to me off the van and I thought this, this thing is going to help carry me to Brighton, and it was quite a beautiful moment. I had a little phone clip thing that I attached to the front of my bike were you listening to?
Speaker 2:music throughout. Um well, they recommended you didn't wear headphones because it blocked out, um, obviously, the sound, but um of like people coming past you because it was a bit manic. But I did have my headphones in. I just listened to sort of all sorts of random songs, but I took them out most of the time because I was just chatting to people along the route we're doing this in an all weird order, actually, because I hadn't finished my start oh sorry, sorry you, you keep you I know you've got loads of questions.
Speaker 2:I've got burning questions because I find this fascinating because at the start, so obviously I was meant to start nine, everyone else went off at eight I couldn't because I had to pick up my geo tag, but I had to carry that across the start line okay right. So what I did was they all left at eight, and at five minutes past eight I went and spoke to some lovely american woman right, what was her name?
Speaker 2:I didn't get her name, but I just basically started chatting to her I said me, me, me I'm part of a group of 13 of us. They have all left because they start at eight, I start at nine and she went. I don't really care if you go early. Like apparently they were really strict last year on not letting people start too early. I think there's different start. It's all staggered start times.
Speaker 1:Is it a race?
Speaker 2:No, it's not a race, it's just if you can do it.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And in the end she let me go early. So the first wave of volunteers. She let me go past them. I then jumped onto my bike, headed for the start line, and by that point I was on the bike, so they couldn't stop me, they couldn't you just cycled through? Cycled through. Even on the front of my bike it says starts at nine o'clock, five minutes past eight. I was off, wow into the crowds.
Speaker 1:Okay, so talk me through the journey then uh, yes it's hear this epic odyssey it was incredible.
Speaker 2:to be fair, I'm going through london actually was quite a fun experience. Did you go through central? Uh, no, so just sort of the the bottom, obviously, no, the bottom the bottom. It was a funny route. I don't really know where I was going through, obviously, clapham, and then we went through Tooting. I'm going to be honest with you, I was just concentrating on cycling and there was.
Speaker 1:How long did it take? So when was your first stop? How far in was that About?
Speaker 2:11 miles in. So how long in time. An hour Took me about an hour.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay. So how long did it take for?
Speaker 2:you to leave? Did you leave city life and go into country life at one point? So, after sort of the, the first stop was about an hour in, as I said, and then sat down at a you know, had a bit of a break, caught up with the other guys because they'd set off 10-15 minutes before me but didn't realize that I'd been let through. So I caught up with them at the first stop, um, refueled a little bit and then set off again, and then then, from then on, it was more country lanes and a little bit. You know some really lovely villages and, as I was saying before, you get chatting to people along the route because you keep seeing these same sort of people. Sorry, how do you know the route? So, uh, well, I mean, there's hundreds of cyclists. That's a bit of a giveaway. But but if you went by yourself, yeah, there is no. When I said I went by myself, there were still loads of cyclists along the route but there was loads of volunteers all like dotted around all along the route.
Speaker 2:There was arrows sort of pointing you in the right direction, stuff like that, because some of the roads were closed, some of them weren't, so you were sort of going along with cars and things like that along the road. Um, so yeah it was.
Speaker 1:It was quite easy to navigate would you say it was peaceful, or was it just really sweaty?
Speaker 2:I would say both yeah there was some really peaceful moments and some really sweaty moments as well which was the bit was?
Speaker 1:which was like the hardest bit? Was it like hour two? It was mile 41.
Speaker 2:Mile 41. It was when I had my last break before Ditchling Beacon and I did a video and I was questioning my life a little bit because I knew the hardest bit was still to come yeah um, but it was as I said.
Speaker 2:I took my headphones out at some point because I was just chatting to people as you're going along. Just I was talking to one man who had had a heart attack in february and he was. Should he have been doing? Exactly that's kind of what I said. I don't know if he should have been, but he, he was sort of telling me his story and and why he doing that.
Speaker 1:I think he should have been focusing on breathing.
Speaker 2:Well, he was doing a lot of breathing, but he did Remarkable and this is my point. There were some really fit people there.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:In several senses of the word. But no, you would be cycling along, even if you were going uphill, struggling, and then people just sort of sailed past you and you're like like who are? These people? How are you managing to do that? A lot of people were playing um music on their speakers as well, I love. So you'd be. You'd be cycling along, and then you'd you'd be cycling along, and then you'd um sort of have this sort of what were they music I don't know, or the only one I really remember, because you get a little bit delirious, especially when you're doing it for like however many hours.
Speaker 2:But Dizzy Rascal Holiday.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Because that just you know when it came at the right moment and it was like it was just the tune and the beat of it kept me going.
Speaker 1:You know what I think I'd have played. This is really weird at like a country bit I'm imagining. I don't know why I'm imagining this, because it's got nothing to do with bikes.
Speaker 2:Eleanor rigby, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the sort of thing I'm imagining being blasted through a speaker. Yeah, it was just a really great atmosphere and those moments, yeah, when you came across people with speakers, made it a lot very enjoyable. Two hours in my second stop I had the most amazing burger because I, you, you, had four stops in total.
Speaker 1:Um, I can't remember how many stops I had in total, can't really remember wow, I mean we're going to be talking more about burgers next week yeah, we are in our um a lot of burger episodes, yeah we can't, we can't, we can what it is we had an incredible, obviously, last week we had the Jack and Henry helpline we did, where we tried to watch film but failed. And we actually got a question and we aren't going to reveal until next week next week because we had a couple literally I mean quite literally a couple a couple of suggestions.
Speaker 2:So it's a 50 50 chance whether your question was uh answered I'll tell you one thing that was really great because it was a fantastic atmosphere, as I said, but people would line up, sort of get out there of their houses, little camping chairs, and just clap and cheer you on that's nice it very much reminded me of lockdown what I've clapped for carers yes because some people would bring out their little pots and pans.
Speaker 2:Some people and now they're clapping for you saving lives, clapping for cyclists, but it is exactly what it felt like. It was just really weird.
Speaker 1:The nation came out to celebrate you, Jack. It did.
Speaker 2:And they really spurred me on. Yeah, it was tough. There was a moment of torrential downpour.
Speaker 1:Nice? Well, of course, there would be at summer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course, but managed to get through that. And then, yeah, some really like weird uphill. Just your legs you can't describe the pain in the legs when you do it and the bum I had padded shorts on, but that still, because you don't really realise how. You're taking a lot of bumps on the road, aren't you how many potholes there are on english roads?
Speaker 1:it's a lot are there any councils you specifically want? I mean, as we know from not being able to speak about cholera, we know that we aren't, that we have a lot of councils who I'm saying brighton council, sort it out is there any other council of some small parish that you went through crawley crawley? Yeah yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 2:I was trying to take in the the view, but I didn't make note of where I was at what time because I was more focusing on cycling one, you know did you pass many parts in front of another? We actually stopped off at a pub that's, that's nice were you allowed to drink and cycle dog and duck?
Speaker 2:I mean, there was people with beers and usually I would be the first person to have a beer, did you not? I definitely didn't. I knew I was. I just think that would have really hindered my performance. There was, we stopped off at like because there was a lot. All I could think about was Mark Brewer at one point, because there was like lots of plate people sort of outside their houses selling cakes and you know that Mark would have just done it for the cakes. It would have stopped.
Speaker 1:I think it would have been nice if you had like a sidecar. Yeah, that you just sat Mark in.
Speaker 2:That would have been amusing, wouldn't it? Yeah, that would have been quite funny.
Speaker 1:You know, it would have been a lot more pedalling, a lot maybe, if you were two cyclists with the sidecar in the middle we could take him like a little like and you'd take him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'd be quite like dastardly and muttly. Yeah, yeah, wacky races, yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then he would just go no, no, no, stop, stop.
Speaker 2:Got to get a cake. Got to get cake Free. Free flapjacks as well at church. Stopped off in.
Speaker 1:I mean, the church has to do something for someone.
Speaker 2:It was nice Free water and flapjacks, yeah, but yeah, some really really tough moments and Ditchling Beacon was the worst bit.
Speaker 1:So what is Ditchling?
Speaker 2:Beacon. It is the biggest part of the entire thing and it's literally like that. Wow, that's not very good for a podcast.
Speaker 1:But imagine really doing. Jack is currently raising his hand at an angle should I show you a picture? Yes, please do photos.
Speaker 2:Never do these things justice, no, but I'm gonna come around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, come around onto my side.
Speaker 2:Look at this lovely village. First of all, I took to take a photo because I thought that was.
Speaker 1:But you can see.
Speaker 2:Ditchling Beacon looming in the distance that's terrifying.
Speaker 1:Did you know you were going up that?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So did you hate it.
Speaker 2:I hated every second of it. Let me try and oh, this is the stop, just before the beacon which is obscured by these hedges, so you can kind of see it. And then this is the start of the beacon, which doesn't look that big. What does that sign on the road say? It says we can beat heartbreak together forever. Sorry, we can beat heartbreak forever.
Speaker 1:Oh, is it for the British Heart Foundation?
Speaker 2:Yes, they were the ones who were running the event. Can you beat the beacon? So it's the bit that's. Did anyone fail?
Speaker 1:the beacon.
Speaker 2:There was definitely people who stopped part of the way down, and this is me at the top of the beacon.
Speaker 1:Whoa.
Speaker 2:You can see how high up it is. I started in that village down there.
Speaker 1:Very long way down. There you are At the top. Oh, you were wearing the sunglasses that people have fought over.
Speaker 2:Yes, I was.
Speaker 1:I was Infamous, sunglasses Did anyone try and fight you for the sunglasses, then I was too quick on my bike, you were. No one was going to fight you for the sunglasses.
Speaker 2:Then was too quick on my bike. You were. No one's gonna fight you they're very dramatic sunglasses they were. I I feel like we've mentioned it.
Speaker 1:No, not those ones, but the other, yeah, I feel like we've mentioned it before, but jack has some sunglasses that start rows yeah, it started a fight in be at ones in norwich once they did between two females over the sunglasses, yeah it was quite a um, actually three females in the end yeah, three um, what, what a time?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah. So I was wearing them. They carried me through, they gave me the fight I needed on the day because they were fighting you inside they also hid my tears on the way up to the beacon.
Speaker 2:were you crying? Yeah, well I, I stopped. A lot of people got off and walked up the beacon. Really, yeah, because I was determined to cycle all the way. So my method was cycle until my legs couldn't, then stop over by the side of the road, have a bit of a cry, compose myself and then pedal on a bit more. Wow, and I did that five times.
Speaker 1:Have you ever thought about doing after dinner? Inspirational sportsman speaking.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Cause now you're a world-class athlete.
Speaker 2:It's heading that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and, and you could do that at awards ceremonies you go how I beat the beacon, how I beat the beacon, that's your slot.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then, whilst everyone's enjoying their food, which is always slightly underwhelming at an awards evening, they never serve you what you want them to serve you.
Speaker 2:It's never very inspirational, is it?
Speaker 1:Well, no, it's actually always the opposite. They always try and go too much. They try and do too much.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So they'll give you like a kind of lemon and like a lemon and kiwi and chicken and tomato terrine and they'll call it, you know, gourmet. But that's the type of flavor combination I feel like you always get.
Speaker 2:Yeah, kiwi chicken Down with awards meals. Yeah, it's sorted out.
Speaker 1:we've only ever been invited to one for a podcast, haven't we? Well, that's yeah. Yeah for the for the podcast. I'm actually a multi-award winner myself, but yeah yeah, yeah, what was?
Speaker 2:what's one of your awards?
Speaker 1:I won the great british entrepreneur award. One to watch.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Back in the day I was on the independent top eight book list.
Speaker 2:Where have you taken that now?
Speaker 1:One to watch.
Speaker 2:If they'd have watched you.
Speaker 1:They're still watching. Yeah, one day it might happen. They're still watching Independent top eight book list.
Speaker 2:Independent what.
Speaker 1:Top eight book list.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Eight's quite a weird number, it's cheese. But I mean, why not? Yeah, why not do? 10 or 5, 8 is a weird. Yeah, it's very strange. Were you eighth?
Speaker 2:no, I don't even know where I was isn't it weird when we do things in sync?
Speaker 1:weirdly like it is really weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when I eventually made it to the top of the beacon, all I wanted was an ice cream do you like ice cream? Yeah, mr whippy, that wasn't even a dick, that was actually. There was an ice cream van at the top and the queue was incredibly long, so I never ended up. I told myself, when I get to Brighton I'll have an ice cream. And did you? No, I had to give the bike back and then because of the England match, and then you couldn't get home because you had no bike.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I then had to try and make it back to Essex because we'd booked a pub to watch the match, oh really. So I had to get straight on the bus, onto the train and try and get it back there.
Speaker 1:I mean, I made it there in time.
Speaker 2:Do you book slots Sometimes? Well, pubs get busy during the year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course they do, but I didn't know you to book? Wow, yeah, obviously. Last time we mentioned ice cream on the podcast, we got intercepted.
Speaker 2:We did.
Speaker 1:By the Department of National Ice Cream and Omelette Security.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Interrupted. Is there anything you'd?
Speaker 2:like to say to them Apologise, I've never apologised.
Speaker 1:For trying to tell the truth, yeah never, Maybe they're not listening to this one.
Speaker 2:Hopefully, should we tell them the real reason that we don't do Mr Whippy ice cream anymore. The real reason we do not do Mr Whippy ice cream, is Alert. This conversation has been censored by the Department of National Omelette and Ice Cream Security. This audio file will now be deleted. And that's all I could think about when I was at the top of Ditchling Beacon, and the queue was too long. So I thought well, when I get home, I could have an ice cream.
Speaker 1:However, because so did you then stay in Essex?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Watching the Euros, the England match very underwhelming. I just always forget how boring football is compared to rugby rugby is so much more interesting.
Speaker 1:Who were we playing?
Speaker 2:against Serbia.
Speaker 1:Yeah, look, if we can only score one goal against Serbia, I feel like we're not going to have a great time by the time this is released, we would have played a few more matches.
Speaker 2:Hopefully we've improved.
Speaker 1:Yeah, serbia don't even have football, they just have ice, you know.
Speaker 2:How many listeners do we have in Serbia? None, are you sure?
Speaker 1:They don't have.
Speaker 2:Wi-Fi, do they not? No, don't, because you can't offend all of Serbia, henry.
Speaker 1:What, like, we offended Molden Council.
Speaker 2:Hey, molden Mud Race reshared our video. I think Did they yeah.
Speaker 1:Even though we said it had cholera in it. Yep. So actually, Tara, you know, I think they quite like it.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that was the day. What a day, though Incredible.
Speaker 1:What a day you had, what a day. My bum is still a bit sore, despite my padded, padded shorts.
Speaker 2:I text you at one point as well to say would you like to talk to me and give me any inspiration?
Speaker 1:and I messaged after the race. Yes, I did. I actually didn't have my phone on and that's not just a cop-out answer. I genuinely didn't. One of my favorite you talked about the tracker earlier.
Speaker 2:Actually, one of my favourite things about it and can I just say thank you to everybody who did cheer me on and post, you know, on on Facebook and things like that, cause it really did spur me on One of my favourite things was I'd finished the race. I was on the train with my beer and, um, I saw a post that said come on, jack, only seven more minutes to go. But it actually was just because the the tracker hadn't updated, so it said I still said I hadn't finished the race, but I was seven minutes away are you still doing the race now?
Speaker 1:are you still just seven minutes?
Speaker 2:away could be. There's definitely there's a video of me crossing the finish line, so I know it did happen and also you're here now our bike video. What a hit that was.
Speaker 1:I know. I mean, if people haven't seen that, it's on our Instagram, djackandhenry.
Speaker 2:We were asked by Potter's Resorts Houghton honestly HR department to create a informative wellness video wellness video for bikes.
Speaker 1:We're offering a scheme. This might encourage people to join our bars or restaurant or entertainment department or sales or graphics or other departments. Whichever one's hiring where other departments are available, yes, they are, uh, where you can cycle to work, and we'll give you.
Speaker 2:We're looking for djs, we are looking for djs and we'll give you an inexpensive bike.
Speaker 1:You know we can't say cheap. We'll give you an inexpensive bike so you enjoy that bike. Speaking of transport, jack, I'm hopping on a plane. You are in a few days how does that feel? Feels great. I'm going to speak to some people. Do you know where I'm off to later the travel show the travel show I don't actually know if that's what it's called.
Speaker 1:It's for corporate travel. So all the execs from amex and ba and um singapore airlines and all the other airlines and places are going over and my mom's company has a stand there, this massive stand, and I'm going to go and I basically managed to wangle a pass so I can go and sweet-talk all the airlines and get myself a cheeky upgrade.
Speaker 2:You know that some airlines are now showing podcasts on their Shall.
Speaker 1:I try and get the all-exclusive podcast on Air China could you imagine yeah try it which airline do you want? Emirates do you want me to do a podcast with the guy from Emirates? Yeah whilst I'm at the business travel show, I just think, I think spread your bets yeah.
Speaker 2:BA Emirates Virgin go for them all. Talk about things coming up. Yeah, what do you think about the new? This is really random, but I feel like you'll be interested in this the new iOS update.
Speaker 1:The new iOS update with Apple Intelligence?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just feel like you're a man to talk to about this.
Speaker 1:I'm actually kind of looking forward to it.
Speaker 2:There's some really cool features on it. I think that calculates it.
Speaker 1:I mean it's probably not something our listeners are interested in however, I'm going to speak to you about it anyway, the new Siri looks awesome. Emoji customisation oh, I've not heard about this one. What can you do?
Speaker 2:I think, using AI, you can basically describe what you want the emoji to look like and it will design an emoji for you.
Speaker 1:That's a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 2:The example that's here smiley, relaxing wearing cucumbers. But I'm interested to see what people design.
Speaker 1:Well, Jack, it's been short but sweet. Today it's been lovely hearing about your cycling adventures.
Speaker 2:I'm now very excited. Henry for three weeks off of me. I mean, I'm working but three weeks without having to put up with you you're welcome.
