book as well last year. They
4:03
are so good together and
4:05
they shouldn't work together

so excited you're here. I've been more nervous
5:06
about, I mean, I know Jordan, but I've
5:08
been nervous about meeting William. I felt like,
5:10
you know, as an Etka expert,
5:13
everything that I've done has been judged. No.
5:16
No? It's been judged to be lovely and welcoming and...
5:19
Even the glass, I was like, will this glass
5:21
be all right? Nick, everybody's like this to him.
5:24
Every time, everywhere we go, they're all like, oh, God.
5:26
Even my mum got it. Even the
5:28
moment she met me a few times, she was like, do you
5:30
think we're dressed all right? He
5:35
took my mum to Soho House in London and
5:37
you could not believe her face. She was like,
5:39
I'm in Soho House. It's
5:41
just an egg, it's not a joke. It wasn't in the
5:43
scene. Literally, she moved
5:46
to Spain a few years ago and she's
5:48
told everyone in Spain about it since I
5:50
went with the UK's leading Etka expert. I
5:54
chose that because it's just the tube stops that
5:56

10:00
food. Big dollop of mustard, that sort of
10:02
thing. Good red wine. You're not getting that
10:05
today, mate. Oh, no. No.
10:07
Start the car. Yeah, no, it's not
10:09
happening. So
10:11
we always love when a duo comes for
10:14
tea, because it feels more like, you know,
10:16
we're hanging out rather than we're doing an
10:18
interview. So we're really happy that you guys
10:20
are both here. You guys both met, I'm
10:22
right in saying, because Jordan, you worked for
10:24
William? No? Oh,
10:27
close enough. You were William's runner. I
10:30
was a tea boy at Radio 5 Live. I
10:33
was on work experience, and he was a guest
10:35
on one of his shows. Close. And
10:38
we were both 21 at the time, both still in uni. And
10:41
he was claiming even then to be the UK's
10:43
leading etiquette expert. I
10:45
just said 21, and it stuck. And I
10:48
remember making him, I met him a brew in
10:50
a chip mug, and he didn't drink it. And
10:52
I thought at the time, like, he was in his, sorry,
10:55
late 30s, early 40s, because of
10:57
how he dressed. I know. We're
10:59
the same age. We did a sniking jacket.
11:01
You were wearing it as a Quebec. Quebec,
11:03
yeah. And I thought,
11:06
like, go on to his little Liberian wife
11:08
and have a cherry. The Sheriff was such
11:10
a character. He didn't have a wife. No.
11:13
And yeah, we never thought we'd see
11:15
each other again, didn't we? No, but the corridors
11:17
at that BBC, which is demolished now since they
11:20
built Media City, were so long. So you had
11:22
a really long time, almost an awkward amount of
11:24
small talk with people. But
11:26
he was making me laugh, and I would go
11:28
in probably every week, but there was Jordan this
11:30
week. And he was making me laugh. And he
11:33
said goodbye to me at the reception. I thought, well,
11:35
we won't keep in touch. But that was nice. That
11:39
was nice. And then you
11:41
moved in with some mutual friends. Yeah. Our
11:43
mutual friends were holding, this is how long ago it
11:45
was, an Olympic 2012. Oh
11:47
gosh, yeah. An opening ceremony one.
11:49
And my housemate said, I've got a mate coming
11:52
around tonight. He's a bit posh. You won't like
11:54
him, just don't be rude. And he called
11:56
William up and said, my housemate's a
11:58
bit rough around the edge. You won't
12:00
like him. You won't like him,
12:02
don't be rude. And he took the piss out of
12:05
me all night and I just fell in love with
12:07
him literally. I was like, this guy is hilarious. And
12:09
look at us now. And
12:12
when you first, you know, fell in love
12:14
when the moment happened. We're not a
12:17
couple by the way. There was a point where... No,
12:20
no. They're going. I
12:22
was really drunk. No, just kidding. No,
12:25
there was a point where we talked about this on
12:27
the podcast in series one or two, where we had
12:29
sort of agreed before I was engaged to mine,
12:31
our husband, we were going
12:33
to be safety relationships. And if we were both
12:36
single at, well, 40 or 50, I can't remember
12:38
the age, we would get
12:40
together. But luckily, Mikey
12:42
said yes and Jordan dodged that
12:44
bullet. So that's fine. Oh
12:50
my word. Angela.
12:53
Oh my God. That looks incredible. So
12:55
today for you guys, we've gone for
12:57
a rare bit mac and cheese, which
12:59
I guess is like a... I've
13:02
never had a rare bit mac and cheese. I
13:04
always thought rare bit was confined to toast.
13:07
Oh, no. Well, it's basically a
13:09
cheese done here. Cheese done. Yeah,
13:11
so what's going on here, Ange? So normal macaroni
13:13
cheese is a macaroni with lots of cheese and
13:15
in a white sauce. And we've done the same,
13:17
but we've added Guinness to it. Oh,
13:21
yeah. So what else did you have
13:23
with, you know, Welsh rabbit, which is,
13:25
you know, so we've got cayenne pepper, a little
13:27
bit of mustard in there. We've also got some
13:29
Worcester sauce in there. So it's all that sort
13:31
of stuff that gives it that lovely sort of,
13:34
lovely spicy sort of cheese. It smells fantastic.
13:36
And then I've made a little cabbage sauce
13:38
to go with it. I hate to say
13:40
it, when I saw we were having mac and cheese, I
13:42
know people get excited about it, but sometimes I'm like, I'm
13:45
like, it's a bit like, all right. This feels like
13:47
it's got a bit more depth and it's a lot
13:49
of spice. No, it is. Yeah.
13:51
Yeah. It's very nice. It's
13:54
really good. And what have you done the coleslaw in? The coleslaw is just shredded
13:56
white cabbage with lots of different herbs in there as well. We've
14:00
got parsley, we've got dill in there, bit
14:02
of tarragon, and then a mustard vinaigrette. So
14:04
just vinegar, mustard, Dijon mustard, olive oil and
14:06
seasoning. Is that the one that your mum
14:08
does? My mum's one, yeah. And both of
14:10
garlic. The vinaigrette. Both of garlic that sits
14:12
in the vinaigrette. Leave it in the fridge
14:14
with the cloves and the parsley. Yeah. For
14:17
however long you want. Gorge. Lovely.
14:19
And can I ask you where you stand on
14:21
cole floor versus the more modern slaw? Why
14:24
have we ditched the coal? Or
14:26
is there a logical reason? Well, people say
14:29
so. Well, I think it's a mayonnaise thing.
14:31
There's no mayonnaise, so I wouldn't call it
14:33
coal slaw. But coal mean mayonnaise? Well, no,
14:35
that's the thing. Coleman's mayonnaise. It's just my
14:37
interpretation. William, there's a lot going on in
14:39
here. Yeah. It's a great line. I've
14:42
not thought of that. In my game, we
14:44
used to call it an avocado pear. Yes.
14:47
Then it became an avocado. And now it's just an avo.
14:49
Well, no, I don't call it avo. And then in five
14:52
years, it's just a minute. It'll
14:54
just be a sound. I'd never had avocado until the
14:56
move to London. Honestly, I'd not.
14:59
Same. It was mad. I think
15:01
that's an age thing. My mum calls it an
15:03
avocado pear. I think it's a great
15:06
line. And my mum went to the hotel we run
15:08
in the New Forest and said, which she has amazing.
15:10
She goes, I just would love an avocado pear with
15:12
some vinaigrette. And that's what,
15:14
but it was real 70s sort of style food.
15:16
Behind the sophistication. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,
15:18
I'd never had one until I came to London,
15:20
Jordan, as well. Did you find there
15:23
was stuff? I'd not had hummus.
15:26
I'd not had a sweet potato. Oh,
15:29
you can't move for them now. No, I know now. But
15:31
when I first came down here, it was like
15:33
a whole new world. It's mad. It really blew
15:35
my mind. Do your family complain that you've ever
15:37
gone London? Yes, I remember that. All
15:41
right, go. I remember the
15:43
first time I started working in London and I'd
15:45
moved down and I'd come up after about six
15:47
weeks. I said to my dad, I went, what
15:49
are you and my mum doing tonight?
15:52
And he was like, no. I
15:54
said, oh, we'll go out for some dinner. He said,
15:56
dinner? It's past dinner time. I said, oh, sorry, I
15:58
meant tea. He went, oh. Then I know you
16:00
down every moment. Me
16:03
Straight in I'm when is T in this
16:05
house. Us.
16:08
To. Like serve in from the table night
16:10
when people call it family style which is
16:13
I'll be South. I just wish you could
16:15
let me winds a number. Ideals on no
16:17
numbers that assesses nice wine table set works
16:19
against you because narratively doesn't work in Illinois.
16:21
Stars on the side or dry place it's
16:23
but yeah, I didn't. Objects made objects. Okay
16:25
visit. I'm in a play. yet there's a
16:27
time and of pronouncing as yeah. I'm into
16:29
play when it comes to miles. It's very
16:31
much has put it on Sable. nice and
16:33
folks and appalling Middle East. I have something

18:00
But. I do look in the I said I was
18:02
one his arms were these new users of look at
18:04
season as the Yankees comedies depends on the hyper glassware.
18:06
If you have quality glassware than the idea is that
18:09
you don't think I think we'll be fine with these.
18:16
How I saved my bosses on his nines
18:18
series so much am now is being when
18:21
we now always on the outside his own.
18:23
I don't really know what number were on.
18:25
we used to do series but now it's
18:27
is to another guy we i think it
18:29
was loosely we call it series and sinister.
18:31
Yeah oh yeah there's over four hundred episodes
18:34
yeah I saw it as a week we
18:36
saw it is it was our friends do
18:38
it you say he was that used to
18:40
sit do a podcast and with pets Pets
18:42
had some people and that they didn't want
18:44
his or thought well let's do it anyway.
18:46
Yes and we fought with the two
18:48
maybe three series and now is to
18:51
system from stance sense like sold out
18:53
tools and both. Can this space months
18:55
and it up. It's of everything a
18:57
day is the least. Stress is the
18:59
aegis going like estates and say this
19:01
isn't avoid production company profits are all
19:03
my heart for an ongoing thing. We
19:05
did it I was going sour I
19:07
was you A yeah Alyson this this
19:09
and they are and we just a
19:11
yeah written it doesn't feel like worked
19:13
his ass. Fun. To. The seventies
19:15
I'm sensing with lots of people right
19:17
in asking you about like question why
19:20
yes in say the second half we
19:22
do dilemmas or from the distance sort
19:24
of conceived as in a few have
19:26
sent a saucy message to your employer.
19:28
yeah ah and it was meant for
19:31
someone else out. what do you do
19:33
How do you Cohen's actually have never
19:35
actually address the M title of up
19:37
on calls him or cancer we have
19:39
done in the book yeah I'm bots
19:42
available now available now but it's modern
19:44
modern Essex. You get people asking you to
19:46
flow and this in the puck tests can
19:48
ask you to hear ya and is it
19:50
serious? Advise people. Sometimes. yes and
19:53
then it's actually or they'll sort of message
19:55
on enstrom whatever with ah down to run
19:57
the since the podcast but consent and officers
20:00
funny, but and then it's
20:02
a really serious problem. Actually,
20:05
there is a really serious problem that someone keeps
20:07
messaging me about that I have had to reply
20:09
with, I am not qualified
20:11
to do with this. Here is the
20:14
telephone number. You need to phone this
20:16
person or this company or organization. No.
20:20
And so I've had to really
20:22
push back on that because I don't want to be
20:25
accountable if another girl for how to. No, you can't
20:27
give black bad advice that will you? Yes. People
20:29
tend to come up to me and go, I am more like you
20:31
and my other half is more like William. He
20:33
is from the Cotswolds so he is a bit posh.
20:36
But I am from Barnsley and I am like, oh,
20:38
okay. So a lot of people tend to do that.
20:41
We are friends and I am very much like William
20:43
and she is like Jordan. I am like, oh, cheers.
20:45
Cheers. Thanks for that. Do you
20:47
think William gets more of the actual advice? Yes.
20:50
Yes. Definitely. And
20:52
he gives really good advice. Well, sometimes. No, genuinely
20:54
I am just thinking, I hear a letter sometimes,
20:57
I think, right, how can I be funny? I
20:59
am just like William is like, although you genuinely
21:01
do give good advice. And I pick it up.
21:03
I have learnt so much from him. Now I
21:05
was having soup at a restaurant recently and I
21:07
scooped the soup away from me. That is how
21:09
you meant to eat soup. What
21:11
else? There is loads of stuff. Yes. Now
21:14
don't take this the wrong way. At weddings, you go and
21:16
we are going back to what we were saying about Edward
21:18
VII, you go and unbutton grooms
21:21
or groomsmen's bottom buttons on
21:23
waistcoach because you have your bottom button and I never take
21:25
my jacket off at the table because that is quite rude.
21:27
If you are in a suit. Oh, really? Yes.
21:31
There are little things he tells him. That and his big
21:33
jacket. It is hard wearing. But you can ask, can I
21:35
remove my jacket? Yes, you can. And if the host does
21:37
it, you can do it. If the
21:39
host does it, yes. Do you think you have become a
21:43
better human, essentially, on the behavioural front
21:45
since Meet a William? Yes, definitely. I
21:47
have got dip-teak candles now. For
21:51
a while he was pronouncing it as a dick-pick candle.
21:54
Yes. The youth would be Yankee candles. He rolled
21:56
in my first dick-taser. Oh,
22:00
I get it. If a bit
22:02
of work comes in or I've had a good month, I'm like, I'm
22:04
going to treat myself to a different day. I love that. We
22:10
have a question about Etka that we thought
22:12
could be great. Quite like to hear Williams
22:14
and Angela. Oh. I am an
22:16
amateur home cook and I love to cook different
22:18
dishes. I like to be creative. I like to
22:20
add my own spin on other chefs' recipes. I've
22:23
pinched some of Angela's from her books. My
22:26
question is, my husband always says, no
22:28
more than five elements on the
22:30
plate. Sometimes they can go overboard,
22:33
make it look a bit like
22:35
fine dining. Do Angela and William
22:37
agree with my husband, is less
22:39
more? That's a great question.
22:41
She also has another one to carry on. Also,
22:44
cheeky extra question, when it comes to plates
22:46
in a dish, is it all
22:48
in the middle or on the side of
22:50
the plate moving inwards? That's
22:53
from Amy who says, somewhere in the
22:55
north. Generic
22:58
north. Yeah, very generic north. It
23:01
reminds me of an article I wrote when
23:03
I did my Daily Mail column years ago on
23:05
how to tell if you're having an upmarket
23:08
roast lunch. Okay. And I
23:10
said, less is more on the
23:12
plate, where you sort of see it,
23:14
where it's this pile of vegetables and Yorkshire
23:16
puddings with everything. Like tolby carver. Yes.
23:18
It's perhaps not as sophisticated as it is.
23:21
And I think it was, you know, the meat potato,
23:24
and maybe I think I said two types of vegetables.
23:26
So I guess she's sort of alluding to that. But
23:29
I would also say, and I'll be interested to hear Angela's point,
23:31
it depends on who you are cooking for,
23:34
what it is, if it's just dinner that
23:36
you're having on your own, versus if you're
23:38
doing an entire three, four course dinner for
23:40
friends. And actually, you don't want to overwhelm them
23:42
with lots of food on each course. But
23:44
probably less is more is probably better. Yeah,
23:46
I am with William on this one. And
23:48
if I, if to use your analogy of
23:51
roast, I would do the meat on the
23:53
plate, maybe the potatoes and some gravy. Yes.
23:55
And then I would put the veg on
23:57
the table and people can help themselves. Because
23:59
I hate it when you see. plate that's
24:01
overloaded. I think it's too much. At the
24:03
end of the day, it's about having delicious
24:05
food. It's the argument you use
24:07
when chefs write menus, or they make their
24:10
menus so complicated, it's like everything has to
24:12
be brilliant. The less you have to do,
24:14
the less things have to be brilliant, so
24:16
be smart about it. It's like
24:18
some chefs you go and have
24:20
20 sort of chocolates or pettifors after a
24:22
meal. That means 20 have to be brilliant,
24:25
whereas if you do three amazing ones rather
24:27
than substandard 15, you know what I mean?
24:30
That's the way I like it. And then
24:32
that bonus question. Now, this might be a
24:34
bit sort of restaurant-y rather than private home
24:36
or nobel cuisine type stuff, but I was
24:38
always talking, put the meat or the fish
24:41
towards the bottom of the plate, traditionally.
24:43
But there's the whole going in. Is that a
24:45
very fancy restaurant thing? I really don't know what
24:47
she's on. No, I don't. If
24:50
I'm absolute, and now that she's spent, lovely
24:52
lady, what's her name? Amy. I
24:54
just think, you know, if you're having a bowl of
24:56
stew or something, you're going to put the potato there
24:59
and they'll be the same. It's also not going to
25:01
stay wherever you put it anyway. Exactly, yeah. And whereas
25:03
I think the meat, you probably put slight to the
25:05
side. But if you go to a restaurant and it's
25:07
all over one side, I think it's style over substance.
25:09
They're worrying about that more than worrying about what it
25:11
tastes like. Oh, did you see there was a
25:13
documentary, I'm told, that both people got in
25:16
touch about, I think it was Scorn and
25:18
Ramsay, who with the new one at the
25:20
Savoy, and they sat down and the plates
25:22
were too big. Oh, yeah. And that's my
25:25
pet hate with restaurants is, the chefs are
25:27
fantastic, the food is brilliant. But sometimes you
25:29
sort of forget, well, actually, it's practical for
25:31
the waiter to take it to and from
25:34
the plate. How about the person, can you
25:36
rest your cutlery like this? Or is it going to
25:38
slope inwards? And the food
25:40
is, of course, 95% of the
25:42
meal. But there is a difference. No, but if you're
25:44
constantly fishing out your cutlery, or as you said earlier,
25:46
if you're like this on the table and then, you
25:48
know, no, you've got to think of everything. And that's
25:51
key, actually. I heard on your podcast when
25:53
you were talking about ordering off the menu,
25:56
you were saying you want if it was
25:59
like lamb with you wouldn't read out the
26:01
whole thing, you'd just be like, I'll
26:03
have the lamb. Again, I only picked that
26:05
up recently from William's side, I'd be like,
26:07
I'll have the lamb with the potatoes and
26:10
the dough. You'd say the lamb,
26:12
I'll check it. So sorry,
26:14
William always says, I'll have the lamb.
26:16
Yes, any side vegetables, you say those,
26:19
but rather than reading the whole thing. Oh yeah,
26:21
totally. You just say, I'll have the lamb. I
26:24
try and read the whole thing. I
26:26
try and read the whole thing. Why? I've never
26:28
heard it, like they put it on the menu, and
26:31
I'll have the peppered seared lamb. That's what
26:33
I do. And they're like, yeah,
26:35
no, I know what it's called. Yeah, I know, and they
26:38
wait and they just put the lamb. Yeah, they're just
26:40
going in the kitchen going, lamb. Right, that's it. They're in.
26:43
They are. Treelands, beefy, and
26:45
you're like, is there anything that
26:47
you... They're
26:51
just shouting it through the door, aren't they? Before
26:56
you guys go, we want to... Oh, look
26:58
at him. So there's a cloche coming in. There's
27:01
a cloche arriving on a board, dead posh. Underneath
27:04
the cloche, what we have here is
27:06
what we've assembled, a
27:08
Jordan North favorite, a
27:10
picky pea. Oh! Oh, look
27:13
at that. Wow. Now...
27:16
Thank you. You can tell Waitrose sponsor you.
27:18
Look at that. That is a proper
27:20
one, isn't it? That is... Oh,
27:22
that is... Look at the scotched
27:24
egg, sausage rolls. You've got
27:26
Piccaglily. Yeah. This is
27:28
a solid... It's a serious one. I art directed this myself.
27:30
Did you? Because we had a call
27:33
about one, because Angela apparently said in the week that
27:35
you didn't know what a picky pea was. No.
27:39
Somebody else asked me that this week. And Claire didn't
27:41
know what he was, did you? So I was like,
27:43
what, Jim? Well,
27:45
in certain parts of the country, they call it
27:47
a party tea or a carpet picnic or... Never
27:49
heard of something special. Or you could tap half.
27:52
Yeah. A carpet picnic, I really did
27:54
like. Yeah, it's a bit icky. Yeah, it's not like... I'd
27:56
say, did you say fridge tap half? Yeah, fridge tap half.
27:58
Yeah, fridge tap half. Yeah. I've heard
28:00
of that. And I've made it my thing. And my
28:02
mum said, we just used to make it here when
28:04
we were on Gova. I've talked about my mum drinking
28:06
a lot on this. So we'd like it back there
28:09
next time. So she'd like, make, get all picky bits
28:11
out, put crisps in a bowl and it'd be a
28:13
bit... I love it. I
28:15
met mine with like turkey dinosaurs and
28:17
you don't know what they are, Angel.
28:19
It's fine. It's my little face. I
28:22
imagine. Yeah. So do
28:24
you do a hot one? Yeah. So it's basically
28:26
what is left over. I've made it with Yorkshire
28:28
puddings and frieze. Yeah. But
28:30
we've gone for like a cold one. I
28:34
suggested Scott'shed pork pie, bit of
28:36
cheese, bit of sausage roll. This
28:38
is a bit of a curve ball, but I thought this
28:41
could be nice. That's like a whipped feta. Oh,
28:43
I thought it would be nice and a bit of
28:45
bread. Baby bell. Olives, a Cornishon.
28:47
Now this one is rogue. Chickpeas.
28:50
Chickpeas. I thought they were big
28:52
marrow fat peas, which I'm told
28:54
is a go-to picky
28:56
tea essential now. Oh,
28:58
I feel like a plain chickpea. I'm going to eat
29:00
that. You need to dress it up. I'm going to
29:02
try it. I'm going to have heartbeats. What would you
29:04
call it? A cold collation. I'd probably call it. A
29:08
buffet. Yeah. But I can look,
29:10
I can already feel my arteries saying thank
29:12
you. To all of this. All of this.
29:14
Is there a posh version of a picky
29:16
tea? Is that like charcuterie board? Well,
29:19
I guess. Yeah, that's a bit middle class, but yeah, I would. Just
29:22
call it. It is a
29:24
tea thing, isn't it? Yeah, it's the... If
29:27
it were an etiquette world, you would have
29:29
tea at what, four o'clock? Four-ish, five-ish. And
29:31
you would have a selection of sandwiches, cake.
29:33
Bread and butter, cake. Cake, not patisserie.
29:35
Yes, you see, I love an arm of tea. Patisserie
29:37
would be private home. I love the... Sorry,
29:39
patisserie is restaurant. Yeah. Private
29:41
home is cake. Yeah, I love a cake and that arm
29:43
of tea. I might have one of these pieces. Please, cake
29:45
and berry. Yeah, they're my favorite. Thank you very much. And
29:47
would you ever do something like this down Marano?
29:50
I sort of do stuff like this, but it's
29:52
like after... It's like that to me is Boxing
29:55
Day. Yeah. It's that sort of stuff, you know.
29:57
That's picky tea for you. Yeah. That's
30:00
the good news, isn't it? That's the good
30:02
news, isn't it? We
30:06
come to the end of the show question. If
30:08
you answer the question correctly, you will win
30:10
a Waitrose goodie bag. It's
30:12
basically your big shot done for the
30:14
week. Wow, yeah. It's good. Are you
30:16
serious? They're good. Wendy's going to be well up
30:19
for this. Straight to Wendy's, this. Okay,
30:22
to win the goodie bag, please play our Mr.
30:24
and Monsieur quiz. Get your
30:26
questions right and you will win
30:28
that bag. William, question for you
30:31
about Jordan. What is the only
30:33
item listed under personal life on
30:35
Jordan's Wikipedia page? Does
30:38
it to do with Burnley Football Club? No.
30:42
Oh, God. Not to
30:44
do with Football Club. That's
30:47
his entire identity. I can get his. Oh,
30:50
brothers? No. I'll give you a
30:52
clue to do with education. Oh,
30:54
the University of Sunderland? Absolutely correct. Yes.
31:00
He's an honorary something. Honorary
31:02
fellow. I got a
31:04
fellowship before him. You're going
31:06
to get an OBE before me at this rate.
31:08
Oh, yeah. Come
31:10
on. Right. That bag is
31:12
yours, William. Congratulations. Oh, that was easy. I think
31:15
you helped me. I did. I'll
31:18
allow you to help. I'll
31:20
take the wine out of it. I'm going
31:22
to ask you a question about William is
31:24
how long did William stay on the mechanical
31:26
ball for in Benetorm? Can
31:32
I just say he hates his back and forth
31:34
by the way? To the point
31:36
where my mum and dad came because they thought it
31:38
would be funny. We thought it would
31:41
be a laugh. I love that.
31:44
I thought that was a very good sport. He
31:46
was on the ball. I couldn't
31:48
quite believe that breakfast I have to say. Oh,
31:50
yeah. That we filmed
31:52
at 3.30 in the afternoon. But never mind
31:54
that. Even if you filmed it at breakfast time you couldn't have
31:56
eaten all that. Anyway, answer. One
32:00
minute, 20 seconds. Oh, close. One
32:02
minute, two seconds. Oh. I
32:05
want to give you a night. He
32:07
got the right numbers. He got the right numbers. He
32:10
got the right numbers. I think, more importantly, I
32:12
lasted the longest, I think. Did you? Because
32:15
Jordan had to go, and Ben, our producer,
32:17
also had to go. Oh, goodie up, William.
32:19
But he probably had a hangover. Guys,
32:22
thank you for coming round. Thank you so much for
32:24
having us. Lovely to see you. The bags are yours.
32:26
The picky tea you can take home. Oh, that's all
32:28
yours. We will take it home. We will take the
32:30
cloche, William. Thank you. A round of applause for
32:32
William and Jordan. Oh, thank you. Thank you.
32:34
Thanks so much, you guys. Thank
32:38
you. That
32:40
was amazing. That was lovely. That was so
32:42
nice. Oh, thank you. It's
32:45
the best podcast I've ever seen. Oh. Oh,
32:48
dawg. Next
32:55
week on Dish, we have Kaya Scodilario. People always
32:57
say to me, like, who've you interviewed? It's horrible.
32:59
But that's all they ever want to know, and
33:01
they never want to know who's nine. No. They've
33:04
never really interviewed anyone horrible. No. What
33:06
about when you interviewed me, and I was about 15, and
33:08
we were at an underage festival, and
33:10
I was really drunk, and you were going,
33:13
can you speak? You
33:17
were delightful. Details
33:19
