Deal or No Deal and Mince Pies

Speaker 1 0:27

Well , it's been a minute , hasn't it ? A couple of weeks , oh my goodness .

Speaker 2 0:31

I mean , it's not been a couple of weeks since we've been together , no , but since we've done this , no , we have been in a room since , but wow . Jock , because we've both been travelling .

Speaker 1 0:39

We've both been travelling the wide world .

Speaker 2 0:42

A lot has changed . In the last two weeks We've not been releasing this podcast .

Speaker 1 0:46

So much has changed . I mean , there's a new series of Deal on Odile . It's a big point of it . That is my whole , that seems to be my existence now is watching Deal on Odile .

Speaker 2 0:55

I only caught a bit of it yesterday . Is it not weird that it's not Norman Edmonds ? No , norman Edmonds , norman Edmonds . So I stumbled on that .

Speaker 1 1:02

No .

Speaker 2 1:02

Edmonds yeah .

Speaker 1 1:03

Um , I think it takes some getting used to . No . One's ever going to be no , but I do love it Me and Mark . So I watched the first few episodes with Mark and it's one of those program programs .

Speaker 2 1:17

I think I do enjoy it , but I don't know if I want to enjoy it .

Speaker 1 1:21

Oh , it's such a guilty pleasure , isn't it ? Yeah , I mean , I love it .

Speaker 2 1:24

And I , but why ? I don't know .

Speaker 1 1:27

I think , okay , well , I've been watching it with Mark and the first one I watched with Mark was an experience , because he , when people talk about shouting at a TV , he literally yells at the TV .

Speaker 2 1:39

Yes , it's worse during football , but I can only imagine Deal on Odile as a close second Arguably from no , I actually think it's a joint .

Speaker 1 1:44

first , Really . Having , because I watched the West Ham match with him straight before that . So , but it honestly , you've never seen anything like it . I mean he'll be there . They'll choose a number of you know , like their mum's birthday , I'll go . Well , why would you pick that one then ? Don't you save that one till the end ? I do get his logic . Surely the lucky numbers are going to be the ones with the big money in .

Speaker 2 2:09

But maybe he doesn't like his mum .

Speaker 1 2:11

Possibly . Oh , good point , so you don't know about the player's history with their parents ? Yeah , you don't do you ? You do have a good point there .

Speaker 2 2:18

And if it's lucky , like what is luck in that game . Is lucky getting rid of the blues or keeping the reds ?

Speaker 1 2:26

I mean , you're doing both by doing that .

Speaker 2 2:29

Well , exactly this is the point . Yeah , I mean if you know that's true . I watched the one yesterday . I couldn't call the end of it and he gave up £8,400 . Guess how much he got .

Speaker 1 2:41

Watch the World Quo with again . One P was first one P cup , wasn't he ? First one with a penny ? Yeah , reese was his name . What an idiot .

Speaker 2 2:47

Sorry , when you have got an option between £25,000 , £1 pence and £5,000 in the box and you're offered £8,400 . £8,400 . The odds are just walk away with the banker's offer . I'm going to have to stop for a second . We've not released a podcast in two weeks . And we've just spent the last five minutes talking about deal or no deal . Like this is not how we're starting this episode . It is how it's on the episode . Do you know what else is new ? What ?

Speaker 1 3:16

else is new .

Speaker 2 3:17

This is not new , but they're back . What Minced pie is on arrival ? Oh , it's pie's on arrival .

Speaker 1 3:22

They are the death of me , though , so many minced pies , because you just walked past and you take one .

Speaker 2 3:26

Yeah , I just brought you , mike Scott , up a minced pie . You did and you already had one , because you got yourself one .

Speaker 1 3:33

That's true , because you can't walk past a table without taking one . No , I took three . My favourite time of year , Jack , is obviously Christmas , New years and new years . However , my favourite delicacy that we serve at reception as I was just saying to Mike before he announced he didn't actually like them , but my favourite one is the sausage the sesame and honey sausages . They're the best . They are the best , and when I was serving them last year , no one got any because I was eating them all .

Speaker 2 3:59

That I understand , but I can see that that would be the case .

Speaker 1 4:03

They're addictive , they're something addictive . But a can of pay , yeah . Yeah , because you just don't really know how many you're eating .

Speaker 2 4:10

Well , you're right , I suppose to some extent , because it's not like .

Speaker 1 4:14

you're being served two normal person size sausages ,

Celebrating Achievements and Hair Changes

Speaker 1 4:17

can you ?

Speaker 2 4:17

remember when we were at the awards evening where we picked up a award and they kept bringing canapes round and we just kept eating all of the canapes .

Speaker 1 4:24

Well , we asked them to stop because they kept on walking and we were just like no , let me just take a few . So just stop whilst I eat three from the tray .

Speaker 2 4:31

Because it was a lovely evening , wasn't it ? But we had to go and do the pre-show and the show , so I only had a starter and I didn't even get to touch my main .

Speaker 1 4:40

That's right , I did manage to wolf down my main .

Speaker 2 4:43

I think I had three bites .

Speaker 1 4:44

That's probably at least a bit , but sometimes I just wish can you just give me the tray of canapes , rather than just leave the tray here .

Speaker 2 4:51

Talking of awards , though , let's address the massive elephant in the room . There was a massive £50,000 elephant in the room . It's £500,000 downloads .

Speaker 1 5:07

We've done it , Jack . We've doubled our original goal . Yes , we have Now .

Speaker 2 5:12

the question is are we ever going to go any further ? Are we going to double it again ? No , I just don't know .

Speaker 1 5:17

Now , when we hit £25,000 downloads , celia Potter said that she was going to buy us something from Fortnum and Mason . She did , and well , it's taken her another £25,000 .

Speaker 2 5:26

No well , I think she did say something about £50,000 . A lovely hamper , and that hamper has come in the guise of a green bottle .

Speaker 1 5:35

A green bottle of Fortnum's Champagne which says but not just any . Fortnum Champagne On the label On the printed on the very label Congratulations , jack and Henry , £50,000 .

Speaker 2 5:46

A big old thank you to all of our board members for being those £50,000 downloads , so it's an incredible achievement . So thank you very much to all of you . How are you going to celebrate Henry ?

Speaker 1 5:56

By opening that bottle of Champagne , and also I've just ordered some new skincare .

Speaker 2 6:00

Yeah , that sounds very exciting .

Speaker 1 6:02

I'm going to go back and do that straight after this , because it's actually Well , I'm not working tonight , so instead I'm going to work on myself , which sounds very suspicious .

Speaker 2 6:11

Doesn't sound particularly suspicious . Yes , it does a little bit , and other things have happened .

Speaker 1 6:17

What's happened ?

Speaker 2 6:18

Your hair , oh my goodness . Yes , you can't see that right now , but Henry now looks like a small child again .

Speaker 1 6:26

Everyone's saying it makes me look older .

Speaker 2 6:29

Don't know .

Speaker 1 6:30

The number one comment on my Facebook post is you look so much older . And there were 100 . I think that's something crazy . Like 130 comments on that post now and the nation is divided .

Speaker 2 6:41

Yeah .

Speaker 1 6:42

I did an Instagram poll . 75% of people said it looked heavenly .

Speaker 2 6:48

What was the other options ?

Speaker 1 6:50

Grow it back .

Speaker 2 6:51

Right .

Speaker 1 6:52

And the other 25% said grow it back .

Speaker 2 6:56

Yeah .

Speaker 1 6:56

Which category do you lie in I ?

Speaker 2 6:58

don't know . I don't know what happened then . Was there some sort of accident ?

Speaker 1 7:03

No , I said to Robert at Leo Bancroft . I said to him I think let's do something different , and I got out some little demo photos and went . That's the length I'm going for .

Speaker 2 7:14

How long did you spend looking for demo photos Days ? Yeah , I can imagine .

Speaker 1 7:19

Days , because everything just had to be right and he did a very good job . I must say Good old Robert from Leo Bancroft to pick up Leo . But yeah , it's new , it's here and it's far more manageable and cheaper to run .

Speaker 2 7:34

Well , we've obviously got to talk about another reason why we've not been here for the last two weeks because we both went traveling . We did , you went to New .

Speaker 1 7:40

York . I did go to New York , had a splendid time .

Speaker 2 7:42

Yeah , what did you do , not that I care Well .

Speaker 1 7:45

I saw plenty of shows .

Speaker 2 7:46

Yeah , good , that's that conversation done , so let's talk about the other thing . No , but I also toured the shed .

Speaker 1 7:52

What it's , this new 500 .

Speaker 2 7:54

Did you look at the garden ? No , it's not Marlborough's shed . No , is it ?

Speaker 1 7:58

erected by Ian Wall . But the gut what it's , shed Fairy ? Yeah , sorry , the Shed Fairy . No , it's this new . It's like a $500 million events venue in Hudson Dock . So it's massive . The building moves , it's on wheels , it's like the atmosphere stage , but as a building .

Speaker 2 8:17

Well , that was very descriptive . Somewhere else we visited . I'm very excited for next week's episode .

Speaker 1 8:22

We went very exotic . Well , not exotic , is that the word ?

Speaker 2 8:25

Yeah , yeah to some extent .

Speaker 1 8:27

Yeah , we went north . Very north , very , very north , polar , north To the pole To the pole Of the north , the north Pole Pole .

Speaker 2 8:37

We did , and when we were at the north pole we went and visited one man in particular .

Speaker 1 8:44

Yes , we did . Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer ? No , we didn't .

Speaker 2 8:47

That's not a man , it's a reindeer .

Speaker 1 8:48

Well , we saw him there .

Speaker 2 8:49

We did see him and his shiny red nose , but next week we have got one special guest . We've got Santa Claus on the podcast .

Speaker 1 8:56

The man himself . Yes , we do . I mean you thought that we peeked from the interviewer in wall , but no , no , we are interviewing Chris Kringle , and I mean his schedule was packed out .

Speaker 2 9:09

This time of year is very busy and that's why we took so long to get these podcasts out , because , well , they wrapped us in a putting toys together .

Speaker 1 9:17

They did . They actually mistook Jack for an elf . I mean , that's hardly the truth , is it ? I think you're , you actually make a good elf .

Speaker 2 9:25

I don't take this as a compliment .

Speaker 1 9:26

You're little ears and just your kind of ratty face .

Speaker 2 9:31

I haven't got a ratty face , but I'll embrace the elf .

Speaker 1 9:35

I think I just An elf , you know yeah .

Speaker 2 9:38

So we had an episode where we had to advise that no children listen to .

Speaker 1 9:43

Do you think ?

Speaker 2 9:43

it's going to be the same for that one .

Speaker 1 9:45

Well , let's see what makes the edit .

Speaker 2 9:48

Yeah , anyway , let's now go to gratitude corner .

Speaker 1 9:52

Credit should corner .

Speaker 2 9:58

Gobi's gang came and they got me , you and Mark , a t-shirt each , and your one says Two posh verpotters with a puffin on it . Whoa Two posh verpotters .

Speaker 1 10:08

Boya . I actually quite like this . I could pair it with like a leather jacket .

Speaker 2 10:12

It does look very rock-esque , like it's the font of it , isn't it ? Yeah , it's banging actually .

Speaker 1 10:16

Thank you , Gobi's gang .

Speaker 2 10:18

What have you got ? Jack Mine says let's have a look . Young , free , desperate .

Speaker 1 10:27

It's so right . Look at that .

Speaker 2 10:31

Thank you , Gobi . Is this the first time we're going to undo a gratitude corner ? My take back .

Speaker 1 10:37

Well , Gobi's gang , I'm grateful for you .

Speaker 2 10:41

This is from Heather Mary Finkelton . Oh my God , look at this Two , henry and Jack Gunk for you both , and Rachel M Busby . Love Heather Finkelton .

Speaker 1 10:52

Is it written on a check ?

Speaker 2 10:54

No , don't get me excited . It looks like it was from the Salvation Army .

Speaker 1 10:57

Oh , that's a shame , because I thought it was from . There's your little gunk . Thank you so much .

Speaker 2 11:00

Jumped out of his little gunk packet . Oh my God , I love this . What a tasteful gunk as well .

Speaker 1 11:05

Sometimes gunks are quite uncouth .

Speaker 2 11:07

It's got a little bee on it , mine's got a little reindeer on it as well . But my little Jay gunk , I'm going to hang that on my microphone .

Speaker 1 11:13

And so will I .

Speaker 2 11:14

I'm going for Rachel , as well , I've just dropped Rachel's gunk out of the packet and look at this A beautiful little chocolate cabri selection , my favourite stocking filler .

Speaker 1 11:22

Oh my goodness .

Speaker 2 11:23

Oh , let's open it now . What's your favourite chocolate out ?

Speaker 1 11:26

of this cabri selection . I think crunchy is really underrated .

Speaker 2 11:29

Yeah , I don't know how to country for ages , but I think I'm going to .

Speaker 1 11:32

Oh my goodness , this is what you call shrinkflation .

Speaker 2 11:36

I'm going to go for a fudge , are you ? I'm going to fudge it .

Speaker 1 11:39

Finger of fudge . I'm either going to go for a whisper or a crunchy . I might go for a whisper .

Speaker 2 11:43

I didn't see the whisper . Yeah , I'm going to have a whisper as well . Wow .

Speaker 1 11:47

Nobody wants a whisper or a podcum . This is shrinkflation , though . Yeah , these used to be full size , they did .

Speaker 2 11:52

And now I think we should need to talk about the outrage of today that things are getting smaller .

Speaker 1 11:58

Jack , where have you got all these gifts from ? Where have you been hiding them . I know I told you about these , but you went away .

Speaker 2 12:03

Oh , that's true , I did . Now , this is from Sherry and PC Paul . Remember PC Paul ?

Speaker 1 12:08

I love PC Paul .

Speaker 2 12:09

He's offered to give you driving lessons . Oh my goodness .

Speaker 1 12:12

This is so . This is like Christmas Day .

Speaker 2 12:14

And they have given us these presents .

Speaker 1 12:19

It was very funny because as well they're all wrapped in beautiful wrapping paper .

Speaker 2 12:24

But before you do that , sherry , during the pre-show on a Friday night , handed Mark Brewer this bag of gifts . I went off to get a bottle or something and she handed him this bag of gifts and he said thank you . And she said no , they're for Jack and Henry . And at that point Mark Brewer just let go of the bag and let it fall to the floor , to which Sherry jumped up in fright because there's glass in here there's glass jars .

Speaker 2 12:49

I think they're probably the same , so you can have that one over there Right Now .

Speaker 1 12:52

This is exciting . Oh , this is one of our dreams come true .

Speaker 2 12:57

Oh God , this is why I love Right , can I just I'm going to call out every other listener All 49,999 . Like 98 . 98 . Oh yeah , 98 . Sorry , however , it's a shortbread selection .

Speaker 1 13:11

Merry Christmas , literally said in season one . Was it season one ? Yeah , I think it was . Send us shortbread .

Speaker 2 13:18

It says Merry Christmas . Thank you for all the laughs , sherry Mason , that's beautiful . And it says on the top , not Henry . I think on the top of yours it says Henry . On the top of mine it says not Henry , nice .

Speaker 1 13:31

Yeah , you couldn't remember your name . It's a nice change from our other guests .

Speaker 2 13:34

No , I just think it means that you're more likely to come and try and steal my that is actually very accurate .

Speaker 1 13:39

I have a , a shortbread , sorry . I've just obviously seen that show Last time was Mason , and I've got a wonderful story about someone called Mason . This is genuinely true . So I was in when I was younger . I was in an amateur dramatics group and it was with people of all ages and one of the ladies in the group was called Mason , but Mason with an I .

Speaker 2 14:00

Now Sorry , where's the I ?

Speaker 1 14:03

M-A-I-S-O-M .

Speaker 2 14:06

Okay , okay , mason Right .

Speaker 1 14:09

So let's just think of that for a second , sorry . And my mum , who you know she did French at school and spent the whole four or five month rehearsal period referring to this poor girl is Maison . She thought her name was house and it was only long after the show finished . We were having drinks with some other members of the company and not Maison , but she came up in conversation and and mum went like Maison , and everyone went who .

Speaker 1 14:46

Maison , they went . So who you talk about ? Maison ? Mason , I love your mum , but I was like if you could just spell the name properly yeah . Don't spell the name Maison . It was a classic Rebecca pattern thing to do , but the short braised . Thank you , sherry Maison , for that . Let's see what else you've got .

Speaker 2 15:08

This is a beautiful little jar and I have a feeling I know what it is . Oh , oh , oh , I was wrong . Hang on , what if you go ? You will love it . It's a coronation source .

Speaker 1 15:24

I mean , this possibly is my favorite gift I've ever received .

Speaker 2 15:27

Just say that's how you know you've got a true fan of the exclusive podcast , a true board member , because it's a , it's a , it's a little part of coronation source .

Speaker 1 15:47

I've got a challenge for us . Is it weird if we try and put this on everything ?

Speaker 2 15:52

No , I'm in . I'm in . I mean , I think we should just try it with literally everything . We think that's going to taste absolutely rank . I don't think it will be tried over the shortbread .

Speaker 1 16:01

Oh , I've got to reveal the advent calendar this year as well .

Speaker 2 16:03

Oh no , go on .

Speaker 1 16:04

So last year was the disaster of the organic source shallow gel and this year she's bought me a Percy pig advent calendar . Good start , solid . However , what it involves , the one open doors it reveals a little bit like a tiny piece of chocolate , which you would think that's correct for an advent calendar . Where are you going with that ?

Speaker 2 16:29

sentence A small pig , another little part of the pig , anyway .

Speaker 1 16:35

When I puff and I blew that door open . But my problem with the chocolate is it's Percy pig flavored chocolate . I'm just like that's weird . What's your dream advent calendar , jack ? That's very good . What would you love to wake up to every morning ?

Speaker 2 16:52

Terry's chocolate . I mean , I could think of many , many things . Are we talking about just chocolate and confectionery ?

Speaker 1 16:57

We're just talking about any of the other encounters because obviously you've got the beauty of the calendars , you've got the 24 organic source shower gels that my mum could get you .

Speaker 2 17:06

Obviously , I just mentioned my favourite chocolate , terry's chocolate orange .

Speaker 1 17:10

For all guests coming on festive breaks ? No , this is your one warning .

Speaker 2 17:13

No , it just me , that's just because that's my addiction . What about things that you build Well , like Lego ?

Speaker 1 17:19

Yeah , yeah , why not ?

Speaker 2 17:22

You're working towards something every day .

Speaker 1 17:24

I rather excitingly , I'm now ready for parenthood . I've decided because I rather excitedly bought my little cousin , rex , who is five . It isn't obviously his first Christmas , it's his fifth , but um , that's how that works , yep thank you . But I went onto the Entertainer Toy Shop website the other day and I've bought him some really great presents , which I'm very excited for .

Speaker 2 17:52

Why does that make you capable of being a parent ?

Speaker 1 17:55

Because , jack , I realise the joy that I get from buying gifts from toy shops . Shall I tell you what I've bought him ? I'm going to tell you anyway , rex , stop listening .

Discussion on Toys and Christmas Presents

Speaker 1 18:08

Got him a Robo Alive interactive ice blasting , roaming dinosaur dragon .

Speaker 2 18:12

That sounds like fun I mean , I like toys and it walks around and it blasts ice .

Speaker 1 18:18

I wish I had time to play with toys . I wish I had time to play with toys . I also got him a Hot Wheels corkscrew twist play set .

Speaker 2 18:24

Yeah .

Speaker 1 18:25

Look at how cool that looks .

Speaker 2 18:27

I think that's why I want children just to play with toys myself .

Speaker 1 18:30

Yeah , I do find myself doing that . He's got a great playroom and he's got some great things there , but also , weirdly , a bag of rocks .

Speaker 2 18:38

Yeah , but .

Speaker 1 18:38

Which I don't really understand . He was telling me about them because I went over there the other day and he has basically just this bag of gravel and he could have poured it out onto the carpet .

Speaker 2 18:49

Did he collect them or ?

Speaker 1 18:50

I guess so , but he said they had powers and then he would like throw one , which was quite dangerous , but he would throw one .

Speaker 2 18:58

And that power was the power of blinding .

Speaker 1 19:01

Yeah , the power of Pain , the power of infection . Yes , so he would throw one and then he would do some kind of like forwards roll . Yeah , of course that would be the power . Wow . So I couldn't quite work out how to differentiate each of the powers .

Speaker 2 19:16

Did you ever use to watch the old Jackie Chan cartoon ? No , you're just such a generation behind . What is the toy of 2023, ? Do you think Because that's always the hot topic of conversation in it , like , let's find the toy of 2023 and then the toy of our ? Yeah ?

Speaker 1 19:33

of our birth years . Yeah , hang on , I'm just going to pass you my short press for a second .

Speaker 2 19:37

Not that the toy of our birth year really means anything , because we'd been too young to play it , but I've actually got somewhere like an original not an original , but like a Tracy Island and they were really sought after after a while , hadn't they .

Speaker 1 19:49

You'll love this but my uncle , Marcus , who obviously helped you with your mortgage yes , he did .

Speaker 2 19:54

I'll show that .

Speaker 1 19:55

Marko , Big up carbon finance . Anyway , shout out Jade , Shout out Jade . So , Marcus sorry , I've just seen one of the toys . No , I'm going to hide that for a second because that's weird Marcus has been investing recently in a display cabinet in his office of all of and he called it the Christmas presents he put on his list every year but never got , and he's been collecting them all like that's hilarious Death Star models from like back in the 80s and what a wonderful idea .

Speaker 2 20:27

It's like a display of disappointment .

Speaker 1 20:29

Yeah , like these massive Death Star models that he's put in a display case . I mean he's got like a whole glass display cabinet lit with these little cubes and everything .

Speaker 2 20:36

I hope he invites your grandparents around and be like look at this , this is what you can get .

Speaker 1 20:40

Yeah , like droids and action figures and remote control cars and all this stuff and all the original boxes from the 80s and he's like if I had got that back then it would be worth so much money now because they're not cheap by those toys from the 80s now , because they're all collectibles , as we know from Marcus . So that just proves that everyone was disappointed that year because they're so expensive , high demand .

Speaker 2 21:05

Merry Christmas everyone .

Speaker 1 21:06

One of the top toys is a cuddly toy , yak .

Speaker 2 21:08

But this year . Yeah , sorry , one of the . Let me just no , that is not the sponsor toys .

Speaker 1 21:18

That's not . No , I disagree with that . I have a flesh eating plant from John Lewis Christmas Outlet .

Speaker 2 21:22

Should we just buy one of these for ourselves ? I would love nothing more . Generally , if someone does want to get me this , you can . A big , old , chunky Lego set . Not like chunky bricks , but just a big Lego project .

Speaker 2 22:39

No , I love Lego . Because I love building things and I love making things . Should we go and spend everything around the ?

Speaker 1 22:45

house by a fire , drinking hot chocolate and making Lego .

Speaker 2 22:51

I was all for it until you said it in a really weird way at the end .

Speaker 1 22:56

Today , jack , when this episode goes out , is our resort secret Santa , our department secret Santa . Now , because the episode is going out today , we'll already have done secret Santa pretty much by the time , unless they listen to it in the morning . Our colleagues do not listen to this podcast .

Speaker 2 23:11

That's very true . Yeah , you're right .

Speaker 1 23:13

So would you like to reveal who you've got for secret Santa ? I've

Gifts, Plans, and Jack's Challenge

Speaker 1 23:16

got . Twitch oh what have you got ? What have you got ? What have you got ? I've got Rachel Bady , so what ? Have you got ? I've got him a bottle of whiskey . Does he like whiskey ?

Speaker 2 23:29

Yeah .

Speaker 1 23:29

How do you know ?

Speaker 2 23:30

Because he's told me before that's good and he's mentioned it a couple of times . I pick up on things .

Speaker 1 23:37

So I have got Rachel some deep heat .

Speaker 2 23:40

How deep is the heat .

Speaker 1 23:46

I've got some deep heat , some muscle soak bubble bath but not redox like an actual nice one and some muscle bath salts , because Rachel recently did her knee in and she keeps telling me how much pain she's in with her knee .

Speaker 2 24:02

She's hurt her knee so I think that's a nice gift , that's good , that's nice yeah .

Speaker 1 24:08

Like it's practical , isn't it ?

Speaker 2 24:10

So it's mine . Yeah , practical , you could drink whiskey .

Speaker 1 24:13

She could drink the whiskey with Twitch whilst having her bath salts . I'm not going to say that Twitch is , you know , rubbing In the bath With Twitch in the bath .

Speaker 2 24:20

Fair enough , yeah , what they want to do in this spare time .

Speaker 1 24:23

Yeah , absolutely . But yes , that's what I've got . Rachel , who do you reckon has you , and what would you most want ?

Speaker 2 24:33

I don't even know what I want for Christmas alone , let alone I don't know .

Speaker 1 24:37

Yeah , I do have to respond to Marcus and Sarah . They asked me what I wanted . I hate it when people ask what do you want for Christmas . I'm like I don't know , because it was easier back in the day when you could say A Lego set , a Lego set .

Speaker 2 24:50

Yeah , now , you can't ask for Lego nowadays .

Speaker 1 24:53

Actually , I think Marcus would love to get me a Lego set to build with you , but I think I'm going to ask for just an everyman vouchers .

Speaker 2 25:04

Fair enough .

Speaker 1 25:05

Because when I go to Liverpool Street Station , which is often , there's a really nice everyman cinema at Broadgate and I'd like to make a point now of going every time I'm there , because I want to see just more films .

Speaker 2 25:19

Yeah , I think I'd like some done elm vouchers . Done elm , because it's got lots of house stuff in it .

Speaker 1 25:26

I'm sure that could be arranged , jack yeah .

Speaker 2 25:29

Who knows , beautiful . But that's today , but tomorrow , tomorrow , now we've not talked about it on the . Maybe we talked about it a little bit on the last podcast , I can't remember now Slightly . We've obviously launched the Jack's Drive to Save Lives , the 30 before 30 challenge . Very dim and mindful , but we've actually raised quite a lot of money so far . I saw .

Speaker 1 25:48

I've not even done anything .

Speaker 2 25:50

Let's have a look and then let's just have a yes type it in there £1,700 . Right , but since then , on Resort fundraising , we must have wrote . I mean , on Tuesday night alone we raised another nearly £600 . Wow , so I think we're nearly over £3,000 already . That's incredible .

Speaker 1 26:13

We've just not updated the system . We've just not updated the system . Donated the Hawkers Aaron Vicky , joe Moore , sue Cross , sharon Summons , anonymous , sean Russell , the Duggins family , chris Rochelle and Maureen Grayson , just to name a few .

Speaker 2 26:28

A big thank you to all of them . Shout out to Joe , of course , as well . But yeah , on Resort funding , that must go over £3,000 now , which is absolutely fantastic considering . I've not actually done any challenges yet , but Tomorrow that's all going to change . We've just released a video on it .

Speaker 1 26:50

I don't know anything about it other than I don't actually know what to think I'm really and I'm not even just saying this to scare you I'm really nervous to watch it because I think it's going to be horrible .

Speaker 2 27:08

Horrible in what way ? But without telling me .

Speaker 1 27:11

Conventions exist to stop this from happening to people . There are diplomatic laws . That stops what you're going to go through .

Speaker 2 27:20

Yeah , you're just scrambling my brain even more .

Speaker 1 27:23

Like if this was not in peacetime , it would be illegal . What's going to happen to you tomorrow ? Is it something to do with the army ? No , it's not to do with the army no .

Speaker 2 27:36

The army of .

Speaker 1 27:37

No , not , it isn't anything to do with the military .

Speaker 2 27:40

You and Mike haven't told me anything about it and I haven't been worried about it , but the more I talked to you about it , the more I'm like I really don't know what .

Speaker 1 27:51

Let's just say that when the idea was presented , he deemed it so important that he phoned me whilst I was in New York to tell me what it was and to use me as a soundboard of is this actually too hard ? And I went . Jack wanted to raise £30,000 .

Speaker 2 28:04

It's a lot of money , let's put this into the Obviously we're doing to raise money for the Norfolk Axis Rescue Service ? Yeah , to raise money for a new first response vehicle . With your face on it , with my face on it , apparently Do you think that this challenge is worthy of donating money to , as in like tomorrow's At ?

Speaker 1 28:25

least I mean like this is big , big , big donations , because Mike did mention , by the way , and I don't know if we ever use this clip but if you donate over £100 , you get your name on the first response vehicle .

Speaker 2 28:39

Like actually on the car . We never actually used that entire conversation with him .

Speaker 1 28:43

No , we didn't . So if you do donate over 100 pounds , then you get your name on the car . Now let me just say the challenge that Jack is going to go through tomorrow is well worth your name being on a car .

Speaker 2 29:01

I just wouldn't do it . Do you think I would ? Well , I am going to do it . Well , you don't have a choice . I don't have a choice , but do you think if I knew what it was I wouldn't do it ? I think if you knew now you'd back out . I'm not going to back out , but I feel like I'm on my celebrity to get me out of here .

Speaker 1 29:17

That's what it feels like I've never seen a challenge on that . That's worse than what you're doing here .

Speaker 2 29:21

Okay , if you were to give me one piece of advice to prepare myself for the challenge I don't know anything about , without giving it away what's the one piece of advice you would say for me to prepare myself ?

Speaker 1 29:35

I'm going to go with meditation techniques .

Speaker 2 29:39

What do you mean by quick ?

Speaker 1 29:40

I've got some meditation that you can use at the drop of a hat to get yourself into a very calm mindset .

Speaker 2 29:46

This is going to be really interesting . I'm weirdly looking forward to it , but only because I am actually terrified . Yeah , I'm trying to think of a clean word for terrified .

Speaker 1 29:58

All I'm going to say is there is a genuine , legitimate chance of death .

Speaker 2 30:03

Will the Norfolk Accident Rescue Service be on hand ?

Speaker 1 30:05

Probably yeah , they probably will .

Speaker 2 30:09

Then I feel comfortable . Shall we invite them there . I would be annoyed if they're not there . I think they actually will be there .

Speaker 1 30:16

I'm sending someone from their own ranks to come and watch you , just in case .

Anxious About Ending Episode

Speaker 2 30:21

I can't wait to listen to . If it all goes well .

Speaker 1 30:24

I can't wait to listen back to this conversation , you've said one line in particular , which you'll think oh my God , oh no . This is how I'm going to try to wrap up this episode .

Speaker 2 30:34

No , I know I'm in a state of panic right now .

Speaker 1 30:38

It's actually starting to get to you , isn't it ? It is First . You were really blasé about this .

Speaker 2 30:41

This is the first time I'm a bit like oh no it isn't great .

Speaker 1 30:45

I just wouldn't do it , Even for £30,000 going to charity . Now that may make me a horrible person , but I don't think it does . I want to live .

Speaker 2 30:55

I'm leaving now . Bye , jack , bye .
