Wolf and Owl - S3 Ep 54: The Airport Departure Lounge Edition

Okay so finish the radio show you were a big success by the way oh thank you for coming on the camera to show it was great no fun don't think Sally traffic wants to see you again but this is real-time people okay that's not mesh oh wow this is This is how exciting, Robish's flight could leave at any time. This episode might not go out by the way, but this is a safety precaution one. So if you can see Robish's face,

she's very, very anxious right now. It's like I'm in 24 at the moment. That's how I feel, like you'll keep this in other sites. Yeah, well, so anyways, so get back from the radio show, right? I'm home for a couple of hours, jump in the car, get to the airport, right? Meet up with Graz, I'm trying to give you as much detail as possible, right? So meet up with Graz, having a great time, you know, catching up with him, it's all good,

life is good, Go free to the go free security. On the way to security. There is something with my trousers. I'm wearing like this sort of cargo trousers. So what you had on the radio? Yeah, good. And trousers. But I think they've got like a stud right by the sort of genital area. Alright, so you know, when you go for and you got to put your hair, some jeans have a perineum stud, the perineum studs. I don't think I don't think I don't think

a item of clothing and have a perineum. No, but your perineum is a bit between your butt and your bollocks, right? Like the gooch. So they've got a gooch stud. Okay, fine. Yeah. Yeah. So that anyway, so you know, when you put your arms on either side, and then not they scan you, there's like a big red dot, like, how big is your perineum stud? Pardon? How big is your perineum? I've not seen it. I'm just saying to you, it just came

up on the x ray. Right? So some people when they're seeing you being x rayed is that maybe you've got like, what is it called an old Harold or something? Yeah, the young the old Windsor. Yeah, you know, do you know can I just say something? I if somebody if you were sent into a situation Like to help someone who's not sort of post-trauma. I think the biggest risk would be that you'd end up dead Because you you you will up dead. Why? Because you, you, you, you will, there's no empathy. Let me just say something. If you'd

been through what I'd been through, which by the way, before anybody starts getting in touch is not a big deal. Okay. I just want to be clear. I don't think I'm not, I'm not suggesting that you need to start a go fund me to help me with my airport situation. All right. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, but if it was you, you'd be like, my absolute like, Oh my God. Sometimes you just sometimes you go through life just praying it's going to give you a break. And you try and you try and all I want to do is make people happy. I just want to make people laugh. I guess there's no point. Anyway, yeah. All I'm saying, I'm actually sympathetic with you. That's what I'm doing. I'm saying like you've got your big perineum stud, right?

They've seen what it's but for anyone who's like watching over go, oh, that's Robert Morris Ranganathan. He's been pulled up by the, by customs. Look, there's a big red blotch like various bollocks and his bum is that all that could put, what is it called? Yeah, I'd agree with that. If that scream was out on display

like they were showing the football. It's literally just as you walk through I just glance to see what the problem was. Anyway, Where's it called? King Alfred, right? It's Prince Albert, isn't it? Prince Albert, okay, yeah, yeah, Prince Albert, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in King Alfred, the old leisure centre in Crawley.

It is, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so I go through and the guy like properly like frisks me. And also, by the way, you got to take your belt off. My trousers are so loose. As soon as the belt comes off, they're pretty much not staying up. So I'm walking through there like a kid on his first day of secondary school. I just like repeatedly pulling my trousers up. You have definitely got underpants on right at this point. Yeah, I have, yeah.

And he knows that because he felt them thoroughly. His finger went inside the waistband of the pants. Whoa, he's not allowed to do that. No, he can't do that, man. That's serious. He's basically sexually assaulted you. Okay. We just say I'm gonna-

He said what? Okay. He's probably like, he's probably excited because he thinks he can get a touch with the print towel. He just said, I'm going to search you thoroughly. Oh, well, like that. He didn't say that today. Yeah.

He said, I'm going to search you thoroughly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, that's not how I sounded when I said it. So anyway, we go through, I want to know more about his pervert. He's broke you up.

This is disgusting. Well, he did say we've got like that that red dot there suggesting you might have something in your bum and then you just I bet your old arse was going there with it is this normal like just answer me is this normal I believe he put a pair of gloves on and he had like a little bottle of olive oil and he sort of olive oil yeah and he dipped his little index in it they should use the jelly okay it was like it was like he didn of dipped his little index in it. They should use the jelly. Okay, it was like...

He didn't put his finger in your bum, did he? He just round the rim of the starfish with the olive oil. So he just went in the olive oil and just... The only thing is, with you having your perineum stud, that could be seen as flirting with someone in his position. Okay, fine. It's like you're going, oh, check me, check me. I'm so excited.

Well, look, long story short, we've exchanged numbers. So anyway, we go through the other side. Me and Graz are just having a bit of chillin' out, getting a couple of drinks or whatever. Get onto the plane. Can I ask you, where do you go, the Wetherspoons? No. No, we just went to some bar. I don't know what that is. I don't know if there's a Wetherspoons there. up. Get on to the plane. Where'd you go to? Where to switch? No, no, we just went to some

bar. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if there's a web of screens there. Anyway, so we had to wander around, get onto the plane. Right. Yeah. Loving life. Excited. Yeah. Set up monkey man on the go. Great film. Yeah. Really? Shout out Dev. Did you really just say that out loud? Dev Patel is an incredible what? I like what you might see them. Oh, yeah. No, I just think he's incredible. I think everyone's Dev Patel's very friendly. I think he's an every man. He's a great guy and a fucking head of a filmmaker. All right. He's written, directed and started. He's phenomenal.

Okay. Yeah. All right. I know you should. Yeah. I'm just saying. I wonder how you, I wonder they get this round to King Gary. But I didn't direct it. No, that's true. That's fair enough. That's fair enough. You sort of did the way you behaved on set, but, um, uh, do you find, do you know, what do you think of that shot? By the way, if we're filming, get going out, I hired the guy who, uh, discovered your perineum stud and get him to be there every day and have you

go through and check every day. Yeah okay so um we get on the plane yeah monkey man's on the guy sit on the runway for about half an hour the guy goes we've got a pilot goes we've got to restart the plane or whatever because there's some sort of technical all right so that feels insane to me by the way. It's like you're basically getting inside for 24 hours you're going to be in that plane and they're doing the same thing on that that you would do if you like your computer

or your fridge freezer didn't work, you switch it on again. Yeah, so all the lights go off on the plane they come back on, obviously after then scroll it back on. When the lights came back on the guy who's first year was to sit in there next year. I got this time I brought some chili oil. Anyway, obviously really stressful for me because I've got a scroll across to where exactly where I was a monkey man before the power went off.

Germany, that's horrible. Anyway, so then the guy, the pilot comes on and he goes, by the time we sort this fault out, we're gonna miss the curfew for the last flight out of Heathrow. So everyone's got to get off the plane, the flight's cancelled. This is like an hour after we've been sitting in the plane. So you've watched the whole film then? Yeah, not the whole film, but anyway about an hour of it. Can I just say, at what point did you...

Yeah, I mean, alright, but also how much how into the whole sort of gossiping are you with the other passengers like yeah I'm not so I didn't talk to anybody. I mean what you're not paid over the side of your sort of capsule No, but you know what? No, but you know what there was there was a couple of it like a little bit of this Yeah, of course. Yes, there's a lot of that. So we get off the plane. Yeah. How many people have noticed you by this point? Nobody. Really? I don't think so. So we get off the plane, then you've got to go through passport security, having not traveled. All right. Then, mate, the luggage situation, it was just everywhere. It was

like carnage. Really? Just like people. It was genuinely like. It was like carnage. It felt like one of those disaster movies where everybody's just trying to scramble to get their stuff. Like a bad buffet. When someone's not really thought about it, they just lump all the food on the table. Yeah, if you turn up at a buffet, I would describe that as a disaster. Yes. So there's luggage everywhere. Everybody's like scrambling to get their luggage, right? We go up to the airline staff and they give us a letter and they go, you're checked into this hotel. We'll reschedule the flight for tomorrow. So like, okay, but we've got a connection. So we're going to Dubai and then connect into Melbourne. So that's gone. Right. So now we've got to figure out what

the deal is with that. They go, we'll work out your connections. Whatever. By the way, can I just say to everyone who's probably panicking a bit this time, Graz is on that Grazio about that. And he is incredible at that kind of shit. Yeah. Yeah. But Graz is like, Graz is obviously like super stressed out about this. Right. Yeah. So we, but being incredible as he always is, right? One of the best in the game. So we get to the hotel. I'd say he's the best in the game, but yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, no, sorry. I'm a prick for certain. You're right. I insulted him. Right.

So, so anyway, we, we get, we get to the hotel and the guy goes, how can I help you? And we go, anyway, that airline hadn't booked accommodation with the hotel. Right? So the whole flight is there. So the whole flight is on the way. Me and Graz managed to jump straight into a cab and get over. There's a cube coming up to the thing. Anyway, this is mad.

I've got to say this quietly because the people that did it are like nearby. So then the guy goes, I think he phones the airline and he goes, Oh, actually they've managed to get you bookings at the Marriott, right. Like down the road. So then all of the whole flight are coming to this hotel that we're at. And they've not got bookings. So they're going to have to have this conversation hundreds of times. This woman behind me who recognized me, she goes, oh my God, I can't

believe it's you. She goes, what are we doing? What's happening? I said, oh, it's another hotel down the road. She goes, right, we should probably get a taxi. Do you want to jump in, not a taxi, like to go to the other hotel? And me and Grax are like, um, yeah, maybe. We walk out, a taxi pulls up from the flight and then Grax goes, I think we need to tell them not to get out the taxi because I've got to go to the next hotel. And then the woman goes, no, don't tell them because then we can have the taxi. I mean, it's like that is, that's bad. That's bad. That is bad. Graz. That's someone by the way, he's got no shits about society.

I know. I know. So Graatz goes, it's so funny, Gratz goes, I'm not going to do that. Am I? It was like, it was wild, man. I wanted to hug him. I was like, Gratz is yeah, yeah, again. Well, I didn't actually think I could think anymore for like Gratz as a human being, but this is fucking yeah. Yeah. Do you want me to, do you want to do this with him? I'm just saying he's okay. He's just around the corner. He did what he said he didn't want to hear. He didn't want to see how the cookies made.

Oh, okay. He listens. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, the point is staying at the hotel last night, didn't get a lot of sleep because we were on the phone to the Australian promoters trying to... I get onto one of these online chats with the airline people, right? This is Emirates, by the way. That's a bot. And also, yeah, put the boot in now on the Emirates.

Just give me five minutes on Emirates. Yeah. So I'm on the chat with them. First of all, the amount of information the guy needed to even post, I thought he goes, can I have your booking number? I'll give him the booking number. Three dots appear. Can I have your name? I'll give him my name. His shift's coming to an end. He doesn't want to get into the fucking meat and veg.

Bro, bro, three dots appear again. Right? He's thinking about it. Comes back, I need your middle name. All right, so I do that. Give him that. And then he goes, I need your date of birth. Give him the date of birth. And he said, can you give me your full name and date of birth separately? Right? I do that. He goes, okay, I think I found your booking. Leave it with me. I get cut off. Wow his shifts finished it's like a Saturday evening. Yeah wild wild wild. It's only right out. Yeah he's having it all. So we spend the night at the hotel didn't get much sleep I've sorted out I mean oh. Good afternoon. I've just paid two passengers. That's not me. Two passengers wow. It is like this is actually quite I mean I'm

quite excited because this podcast can come to an end at any time. Yeah. So, so anyway, nobody. So anyway, I said, that's a long story short, but let's be honest, I've really dragged this out. So we spent a lot, like we go to the, we go to the hotel, everything, I can't explain to you everything that's happened has felt like carnage.

Right. hotel, everything I can't explain to you everything that's happened has felt like carnage, right? So go to the hotel, everybody's just like people are arguing, you see people like this bloke behind. By the way, it's you know what, if you want to see what human like what people are like in a crisis. So bad. So bad. It's like this bloke behind us like turns to these other this other group people goes

boy, cute. It was wild. I mean, we go to breakfast this morning, go down to breakfast and still haven't sorted out what our replacement flights are at this stage. Right. So we're trying to figure out breakfast. Breakfast is absolute carnage, man. Just people going off because their food hasn't turned up. The waiters are going, look, if you keep asking people, it will take

longer and longer and just like, it was honestly, it felt like it was everything was just falling apart. Do you mean it was just the thing that there's no static people left anymore. No, no, apart from me, I kept my shit together. Do you mean because I had a tour manager that's taken care of all the logistics. Yeah. You're literally sort of when you're asked what for you literally. Yeah, he did. I did ask for that because I just think it's quite stressful. And he said, I think he did say, look, I know I do it for Tom, but I think it's a step too far for all. He probably should have just said, I know that there's a friend of yours back at Heathrow who gets off in about half an hour and

be more than he's going to get stuck in once more. I felt sorry because like they put the Emirates airline staff at the same hotel as all of the passengers. Do you know, I also feel sorry for the most of the hostesses and hosts. Yeah. Yeah. Cause they get the real kick of it. The pilot's not so much, but they really get a lot. Has everyone been quite sweet to them from what you can see? So, I mean, you'll see when you get on the flight, I guess.

No, no, I got, I spat at them. Do you know what I mean? But I don't know how other people. I know what you're like. You've got you get on the flight I guess. No no I spat at them, do you know what I mean? But I don't know how other people do. I know what you're like. You've got 24 hours on a flight, you're going to be super lovely. No I'm just like oh god. Honestly guys it must be a nightmare of all these others losing their tempers. Yeah, sorry I've still got the same underpants on as I did yesterday. Luckily there's some passengers like myself who remain reasonable and

realize it's no fault of your own. Did you have your shoes and socks taken off by the way, when you were on there? Yeah, I did. Of course I did. Not socks, I had my shoes off. The Reganathan trait, you're a diner, as soon as you're sat, you've got your shoes, your shoes just come off. But I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to be on a plane for like

16 hours. You keep my shoes on the whole time because I have to get up and answer the door. shoes, your shoes, just go on a plane for like 16 hours. You keep my shoes on the whole time. Because I have to get up and answer the door. By the way, can I just say make sure you get up and walk around when you're that flight. Yeah, just later. Just for people listening, Tom actually is the doctor that discovered DVT. That's why I say that.

I've never been on a flight that long. I've never been on a flight that long. It's, it's, it's never, it's neither of I, Vegas is as far as I've ever been. Yeah. So currently at the moment I've got, it's now instead of two flights, it's three flights, Martin, Martin, too smooth is taken a later flight. He's taken a flight this evening, but will arrive in Melbourne before us.

That's what you're flying from here to Dubai. They were in Dubai for nine hours. Well, then we go then we after nine hours in Dubai get a flight to Singapore. What then two hours in Singapore and then finally, so they marked you off and I left my home Saturday evening. I get to Melbourne Tuesday morning. Wow.

We're going to go to the moon and back. No, I couldn't have done. How does it take you on about how does it get to, I don't know. Why don't you have a look, have a look online. How long would it take you to get on the moon? I don't think it's far. Is he, is this guy actually looking this up? Is this guy actually looking this up? I'm going to get to that moon.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, you can tell you what, you're a fucking sarcastic prick. You are a sarcastic. On average, it takes about three days for a space spacecraft to reach the moon. Okay, well, the question you said, what you said to me was you could have gone to the moon. Okay. And my answer is, okay, Tom, if it's three days, why don't you, why don't you and I for the next four for now go to the moon?

Oh, that's right. Because it's not fucking open. No, I'm just saying before you go crazy. Cause you're wrong. And you fucking have to eat some fucking big old slice of humble pie right now. As I said, you could have gone to the moon. Right. Anyway, I couldn't have done.

No, I couldn't have you bloody bastard. Right. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, no I couldn't have done. No I couldn't have you bloody bastard. Right, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Sure, okay Tom, show me the website where I book that trip. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I said hypothetically, I'm not saying you could have actually gone to the moon,

but you could have actually gone to the moon. So when you said, hold on, hold on, hold on a sec. So when you said you could have gone to the moon, you didn't mean you could have gone to the moon, is that what you're saying? Well you could have, I'm more aware than fucking anyone around here that you probably could, you've got links with fucking Branson and fucking Prince fucking William

and stuff you could probably get yourself like a flight to the moon if you needed it but time wise you could have gone to the moon that's how mad it is I was actually defending you I was saying it's insane three days yeah you could have gone to another planet not as bad and back as well because it takes three days there's three I think it's actually quickly coming back. It's actually do you know what it's been an ordeal like the search the plane and, and the delay and then the hotel nightmare. But this has been the worst bit I think. I've really enjoyed it. I've really relayed the story to you.

I've really been the worst bit because I was so excited to sort of like, I know what can I say? Can I say something? I know why you push for this because you're busy Monday and Tuesday, all right? No, no, I've got time on Tuesday. I can tell you, I'll be transparent, I'll be honest, right? When you were texting me and you were in peril, I was like, this could make for an incredibly

explosive episode, right? Because Romesh on the Edge is my favorite Romesh, right? And I think everyone would agree, when you started this podcast, you went, I'm gonna have to keep it on the down low. I'd say your energy's been up there with one of the best energies since we've started the podcast

because you've got so annoyed. So I think it's a fucking great call on my part. You've felt quite vibrant and quite edgy. I like this side of you. I like the way, but I'm just not. Actually, there was... There was... You've got Sydney, is that Sydney Harbour Bridge

in the background? Yeah, I just chose a background. So like, there's a there's a because there's people behind me and I don't want to like, fill them without authorization. But it was it is a woman over like, just ahead of me. It was like, having like, I was sort of nervous because I was looking around like where to do this. And then eventually we had to do on the phone, trying to find somewhere because it's so random. They're like, um, this woman looks like talk, like really having a proper

personal conversation, like, like really going in on somebody. And it was like, she was sort of saying stuff like, you know, it's a real betrayal of everything I stood for. And I, you know, just want to know how you can look, look yourself in the eye and all this shit was like bad. And I thought, I don't really, you know, I know the Wolf and I'll go to different places, but I don't really want to win the background capture that.

Do you know what I mean? Kind of white lotus vibes. Seriously. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking. I did actually said to her, you know, sitting here listening to that

phone conversation, it reminds me of serious to white lotus. Well, no, there's a lot of portrayal on it. Yeah. And she said, she said, do you know Tom Davis? Cause that's sort of dumb shit. He would say. This is, this is my favorite version of you. I, you know what we should do to keep the energy up is every week we send you somewhere. Yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah. I mean, it's not great for your family because obviously you're aware of that anyway. It's not that bad actually. But then this morning, so obviously I was telling

Lisa about it and then I text the book,, like we've got a family WhatsApp as well. So I've been texting Lisa, but Lisa hadn't mentioned to the boys that the flight had been delayed. And then I put on the family, I put on the family, great, but I'm still in London, by the way. And then they just start going, no, you're not. What a tragic attempt at a joke. No, I'm not joking.

And then Charlie's like, photo evidence. Then I take the photo and he goes, still don't believe. And then it's like, why am I like, why am I trying to convince myself like some sort of loser, trying to convince the kids that I've not managed to get the flight. Well, didn't they believe you as well? Like you're some sort of stinking liar. I don't know.

You haven't got like a record of lying about this sort of stuff. No, I just think they think it's unlikely that I'd have been out all night without having left London. By the way, they seem like, I was quite worried about how they'd be with you gone, but they seem like they're really just sort of getting stuck into sort of enjoying.

No, they've got they've all gone to Comic Con today, so they're having a great time. Where is Comic Con? There's well, there's a little one in Crawler. I did a corporate on Friday night. Shout out to Construction Awards. A lot of fun. And there was like a weird sort of what's it called? Final Fantasy Final? Is that is that a game? Yeah It's not my vibe. But um, there was a Final Fantasy like a everyone got dressed as the characters. Yeah

Cosplay cosplay. That's it. But I mean Final Fantasy whoever owns that it was like an absolute rig because there was like a concession store of sort of just selling merch and whatever for Final Fantasy and street stuff and candy. And you had these people walking around dressed, half of the hotel was dressed as like cosplay characters from Final Fantasy with blue hair and like little elves and stuff. day, last night, today is light. We do it in eight, day number five, therefore recording approximately 2.45. Oh, we've got a bit of time for that. Oh, wow. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Yeah, I certainly don't want to be recording this up until boarding.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I certainly don't want to be recording this up until boarding. I don't like this version of me, mate. I love it. So we had what we had is half of it was

like cosplayers dressed as Final Fantasy and the other half was people in the construction industry. It was like it was it felt like any minute it could just be like two insane worlds could collide but I was actually very intrigued by the Final Fantasy cosplay. I kind of wanted to sort of dip my toe in. I was suited in boots so I couldn't go in there. I'd loved it I'd loved it I did it I did I went to um where did I go? I think I went to Vegas Comic Con for an Asian provocateur and I dressed up as a Jedi it's actually quite fun. Yeah I can imagine actually we should do a cosplay event you know they do them for like a weekend where you turn up and like,

yeah, do you know what? I've got a folder on my laptop stuff that we said that we were going to do. I'll just add it to that. Right. I'll tell you one thing we are going to do. By the way, just while I remember which small business you want to shout out today? I did actually someone sent me one the other day. Uh, I should shout one out, I'll shout one out actually. Okay great. Oh here we go, right I will shout out a small business actually.

Okay. I'll shout out Mee Juicer, it's a London based juice, like they do shots and juices. Okay. The guy is lovely, I bumped into him in London the other day riding around, he had all of his juices in his little like a little compartment to keep him cold. Absolutely sound guy. So shout out him. He was a really... Okay, can we make a commitment to actually do this? No, it was a really, it was a lovely chat and I was like... Medusa. Is it Medusa like Medusa? No, no, no. Me, Juicer. Me, M-A, Juicer. And actually, but now actually, this is insane. Because on the top of his little containers is a Medusa symbol. So he's obviously yeah. So it is not Medusa then? Yeah, yeah, but it's Medusa.

But no, I get that. But I get yeah, he's used Medusa as a thing. He's a brainy guy. So clever, beautiful, crisp, lovely juices. So yeah, get in touch if you want us to shout out. Obviously, we should probably try what people are shouting out. You can do it Australia, because we've actually got a few Australian listeners there. So yes, absolutely. Yes. Also, Tom, can I we should probably save it on the third of December.

Wow. So yes, this is very exciting. So I've because you've been quite busy. I've named the event so you don't know what the events called do so. So I text you the name of the event now. You can read it out in a really cool sort of text to you. Okay, here we go. I text it over. So this I had to come up with something that's called different and feels like it's an event. So it's gonna- Have you texted it to me?

I'm texting it now. Tell people exactly what it is. You ready? Okay. The Wolf and Owl fun evening of Christmas fun, a night of festive fables, friendship and fun. Yep, that's it, mate. Fucking cool, huh? Oh, God God. We get posters made up now.

I can't do not think there's a danger that people are going to think that's a kid show. Does it sound like a kid show? Well, if you didn't know that we would. Okay. I just want you to, I'm going to read it to you again. Imagine you were looking for Christmas shows for the family and you didn't know that you and I did a podcast called The Wolf and Owl. Well, seemingly more and more people don't know that. It's like, yeah. So listen to this. You and Kat, imagine you're not involved in this and you're looking for a Christmas show. The Wolf and Owl, fun evening of Christmas fun, a night of festive fables, friendship and fun. I mean, it sounds like something CBBs would put

together. Yeah, I thought it just sounded like, like exactly what it says on the tin all about all our listeners are sort of like, you know, this is kind of vibe that people like from us. And that's what it is. It's going to be a night of fables and fun and friendship. But now you've said it like that. But well, you've got I think you've got now until the third of December to look up fables. Well, what are fables? Fables are stories, right? Fables are stories like, you know, like, fables are stories with like a meaning to them, aren't they? I spent three years looking at fables out of my arse. Okay, let's be honest, for the first six months, they had some content, you've been busking for the rest of it.

say some content you've been busking for the rest of it a lot of it is you just go hmm maybe reach out to someone you haven't spoken to in a while thank you friend i will say it's uh it's become harder and harder like i never thought that we'd be doing like over 350 episodes there you know to be fair if you actually break it down i've done more of these than the fucking bible's got now and a lot of the Bibles just repeating itself actually you shouldn't slag off the Bible just forget another big flight no I wasn't no I'm just saying just don't put on the Bible because you're back on a big flight I don't piss God and Jesus I just about no no that. So anyway, I'm hoping that I get there slightly nervous. I mean, it's a weird thing to have been on the plane for an hour and not go anywhere. But I no longer trust the

process. You know where your seat is. But I no longer trust the process. Yeah, but you know where your seat is now so you can know, and you know the people around you. No, because I didn't really talk to them. Yeah, but you haven't got to talk to them. Now, can you just give us a little lowdown on some of the people you might have near you? Sort of like.

Well, I'm near some kids, I can tell you that. That's no bad thing. Well, they were fighting last night. Yeah, but you've got kids yourself. Quite loud. Yeah, yeah. They're physically fighting. Been. Physically for an hour, physically fight. They had to sit there for an hour. It was like imagine if there was like they made a kid's version of closing time at

Weatherspoons. Well, that's what I was like, four or five. Sorry, right. You got three boys. You don't know what they'd be like in that kind of them was there? Like four or five? Three. Three. You've got three boys. You don't know what they'd be like in that kind of dilemma. I don't think they'd sort of look like they're on the edge of a knife fight. Wow. Wow. I'm only messing about.

They were fine, but it was getting quite, do you know like when like... Getting tasty at parents, but the parents are probably drunk. Yeah, and the parents are just thinking, do you know what? I actually might just let this run its course. Hopefully one of them will get knocked unconscious and that'll make this less of an issue, do you know what? I actually might just let this run its course. Hopefully one of them will get knocked unconscious and that'll make this less of an issue. Also, the parents are probably worried about what's going on as well.

You remember that, you know, I know you're throwing them under the bus, but they're probably really worried that they've been sitting there for an hour. Is that, they might be going out there for, you know, what does that look? Well, I just, you know. You went like this.

Pardon? You went like this. No, can I tell you know, you would love this. You would love this. Can I tell you honestly what happened? I've eaten quite a lot of dates and I keep finding bits of them in my mouth. Oh, sexy. Sorry. You don't know those people that are going to see their grandad for his like eight years birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Listen, the number of times I've been getting to see an elderly

relative, but it's been delayed. So I've started to have a fucking tear up. You're right. It's not that it's the kids have the terror. The kids are probably just like bored. They'd be there for an hour. So give them a break. Yeah. Then I watch a fucking film. I'm just exaggerating. I couldn't say him where I was. Well, obviously he's brilliant. No, no, he wasn't. He wasn't. We were in the same bit, but just like he was quite a few rows ahead of me. So I can't really say.

We were texting each other. Who do you think would do more of the sort of walking to each other during the flight? Graz won't do any walking over to me. If that was me and you on that flight, I would have been licking, I would note you all the time. Just checking you're okay and stuff. Are we actually gonna put this out? Yeah, I mean, I think so.

I've enjoyed it, man. It's been a fun one. I'm actually- I'm just saying this to have a look at this, because I don't think I come across particularly well. I mean, can I just be- I think this is the most, this is the most rubbish version of the hour

that we've ever had. I just wanna get a couple of things across. Number one, I know this is not a big deal, okay? I'm going to Australia to do some... No, but listen... You're like a politician. No, but listen, what I'm saying is I don't want people to think that I'm like saying like I'm going for a massive hardship. I don't think that. No, I don't think it's come across like that. I think you'd be curative, you'd be just. The second thing is, fuck you Emirates Airlines.

Yeah. And I do think we all think the same. Because, because it's one, it's, it's one thing for the plane to go wrong. Fine. If that happens, happens the experience afterwards. I mean, the cutoff thing, I'm swear the guy cut me off deliberately. Yeah. Yeah. It's Saturday night, night man. Saturday night he's going out. Yeah fair enough. I wonder if he was thinking about me when he was at Icon. You know what I mean? Just on his like seventh smell off ice. Just chatting to some girl. Oh yeah no I do stuff for Emirates yeah. Yeah did you like Ramesh Ranganathan or did he pick it off just before? He was panicking about getting some tour shows. chatting some girl. Oh yeah. No, I do stuff for Emirates. Yeah.

He was, he was, he was panicking about getting some tool shows. You know what I did? Ask him for every detail. I could then just as I was about to pretend that I was rearranging the flight, just drop the call. So what did you say your name was again? Lisa. My name's Lise. My husband's away for about three weeks. Well, you've got kids. Yeah, yeah I have but they won't tell you. I'm sorry, he's just calling me, he's been crying in the toilets at Heathrow about his flight being delayed. Sad fuck. Anyway, so that's the deal.

Look man, I think you've come across well that you're going for a head of the thing. It's not a head of the thing is it? No, no, I mean you're sitting in the lounge of the thing. Yeah, it's not another thing No, no, but you're seeing the lounge The Emirates lounge by the way, which is the nicest like we have I've never seen the emirate finance Can you just switch so we can quickly see it? Hold on. Let me just um, I Don't know how I can hold on Here we go Yeah, oh wow. Yeah. Oh my god

Jesus that's fucking well nice. Okay, so I feel less sorry for you now. That's the most people I've ever gotten. That's a really nice vibe you got there. I'd say yesterday by the way at the radio. I've got to say, incredible. Thank you for inviting me. They are a great team. They're lovely. And also can we can we can we, no, no, no, I need to eat. I need to taste the bubble pie. I want to eat some shit here. You do. You need a big, you need a big- I want to apologize to all of the team at your Radio 2 show.

Explain what happened. I'm not going to explain fully because I don't want to throw anyone else under the bus. But there was a date in my diary when I was going to come and do your show, right? Yes. That got taken out right and at the time the way it was relayed to me was that I'd been bumped not bumped and did you and did then did you deal with that privately? No no no I mentioned the podcast look because as soon as far as I'm concerned said right our friendship is us and all the people that listen to this

show show okay we're all a part of the same friendship now. And also, I will use any situation I can to try and give you a little bit of a kick in. Absolutely. But Romesh, you actually were very clear and concise and decent. And it has been fed back to me that it actually wasn't your team's fault. all. It was someone else's fault. Yes. Over on my side of things, he made a big ricket. Yeah. And they could have easy thrown that person under the bus, but they were very decent. No, they were decent about it. So what you did, having been invited onto the show, when people sort of look at sort of guest bookings and stuff like that, you sort of go, well, is he going to be a good guest? Yeah, probably.

And so what's his behavior like? Oh, well, if his team makes a mistake and has an issue with the date, what he will do is very publicly on a podcast, go in two-footed on our entire team. So that's- No, no, no, no, no. Look, I feel very bad.

Can I just say to everyone who works on a new radio, to share, from Grace to Sally, everyone, what a lovely group of people. Yeah, yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This Jack as well and this Kate, if you didn't meet everyone, I didn't meet everyone. I was credit where credit's due. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went in there. I'm just I'm just sort of I just think you can say that I went in there. I was humbled. My towel was between my legs. I was a little standoffish because I was so embarrassed. I think it's just, it's prudent to name all the people whose jobs you put in jeopardy as a result, you know, publicly sort of going in on them. By the way, you're the set up. You've got a beautiful

man. They really look after you. You kept saying this yesterday, but it's not my setup. I don't know, but it's a nice studio. I put you in. That's some studios in that building. That one's a very nice studio. It's nice. Well, it's brand new. Yeah, very nice, comfortable, nice chairs, good microphones.

And I'm going to say this to you, Tom. You're a great guest, really good guest. You've had some good guests on that as well. You've had some really good guests. So I'll take that. I'll take that as well. I didn't say you guest. So I'll take that. I'll take that as well. Yeah, well I didn't say you were the best guest. No, but the way you sort of responded is like, and you've had some great guests on the show. I know. That's the sort of thing that you say

after someone who said you're easily the best of all the guests we've had. Well, just no, I was just saying it was a real honour to be on that show, to follow the footsteps of Giants. So thank you. Okay, well, thank you. Are you still doing that while you're out in Australia, by the way? No. Who's stepping in? Alex Jones. Alex Jones? So we'll be better for that period.

So what time? What time are you going to go? 2.45? Yeah, I'm going in about 20 minutes. But yeah, I'll keep you updated. And if you want to go on Tuesday, you know, let's see what JT thinks. Yeah, okay. I mean, at the moment I've just had to record the Zoom. So hopefully that records my sound as well, right? Well, fingers crossed. I mean, the thing is, is that you're talking about this being a hardship. You're describing something I've done every other episode of this podcast for three

years. And I'm supposed to, I was supposed to get the violins out for you. It was a hell of a responsibility for me. That's all. It is a responsibility. Yeah. It's a hell of a responsibility. It's exciting to be fucking like the pilot of this fucking thing. Yeah. You've got, what I would do is get you, what you've got to do is get off this. Yeah. Then it will like, then you've got to get onto we transfer.

Yeah. Add the files. Yeah. Create a little link and then get it across to JT. Okay. Okay. Cool. All right.

Are you going to be able to do that? I am my friend. I am. Okay. What are you, what are you up to now? Me? I'm, I'm pretty much the football. You're going to be able to focus on the football now and what I'm going to do.

I imagine in my head you're just sat by the phone. Can I just say by the way, I text you first thing this morning not knowing that your flight was delayed, just to make sure you'd landed and you were okay. Because I was worried about you. Okay. Tomo? Should I lead out? Best late plans. Missions and letters and thoughts and prayers.

It's easy to plan for things. Every now and again a couple comes your way. Unless you raise a bat to the sky and take a swing, it whistles past your ear and you think, God damn it, I thought I had that one. That's a little bit like life. It's easy to plan for things if the road that you're traveling on and the journey

and picture of one that you walk is a straight one. Every time there's a curve in the road, what do we do? Down tools and say, I can't do this anymore. Leap ourselves to the ground and pound our fists and our hands,ap ourselves to the ground, pound our fists and our hands, feet into the ground and say I can't go on anymore, I can't go on. What you have to do is stand up. So you know what? That's the tapestry of life friend. It would be

boring if every canvas was the same, just a beige canvas with no pictures on it. The truth is every great painting, every great canvas, and every great tarpaulin, or whatever they call them in tapestry, is of something amazing that happened. It's about a moment in time. And most people in that painting didn't know that thing was gonna happen that day.

They just let nature take its course. And like a twig on the shoulders of a mighty river went with the flow. So this thought today isn't really just aimed at everyone, it's aimed at a pretty amazing guy who's going through it today. This is aimed at Ramesh Ranganathan, my friend. Wow! Just be the twig, fella. Okay. Let the river take you home.

And when you get to Australia, no, not just me. All of these listeners are thinking, by God, he's our hero today. All right. Thank you so much, man. That's actually, do you know what, actually that go with the flow thing is actually great advice. Yeah. I do feel like if you just accept this is what's happening, it's much better, isn't

it? Yeah, of course. There's nothing you can do about it? Yeah, there's nothing you could do about unless you can fly a plane Which I know you can't but probably one day you'll be able to see a quite rich now Wow Thank you so much Do you know an artist called a singer called Thames? No Tm T Ems Could we play me and you by Thames, please JT. Tom, I'll keep you updated. Well, I say brother, I love you my G.

Give him for listing. Yes, sorry. On the 3rd of December, when does the ticket, when does the link come out? I don't know. The link comes out very, very soon. I think the link comes out this week for Tinker. But jump on if it hasn't, if you haven't seen it on any, well probably my socials because Romesh really doesn't push a lot of this stuff. But there's a poster being made at the moment with this cool title and we are getting some pictures done. Yeah, so Tom's allergic to saying I don't know. So anyway, so the link will be out soon. Guys, thank you for listening. Sorry about the sound quality. Cause I was just like doing this from an airport. Uh, but we'll see you soon.
