Richard Osman

it feels like at some point that might become an issue.

I find that dual carriageway that he's on quite an interesting one.

Yeah.

But listen, he's an incredible self-publicist, and I don't say that as a criticism because, you know, that's essentially the career for so many people these days.

When I went to do his podcast, it was on the day of the Queen's funeral, and I don't drive, so they sent a car to pick me up

And normally if a car comes to pick you up, it's a Prius.

In this, it was Stephen Bartlett's own people carrier that was entirely tricked out.

Instead of a thing between you and the driver, there was like a massive screen, the whole width of the car.

Yeah, yeah.

All the seats were a cream leather and monogrammed in black SB.

So you kind of think, I sort of admire it.

Because you just, you know, I mean, I'm just thinking I wouldn't pay for that if it was my if it was my I wouldn't do it.

But but it's it's sort of commitment to the bit.

But then but the other side of it, we put the screen down because I wanted to just chat to his driver.

It was lovely called Smiley.

And Smiley said he said I used to work in retail.

He said in about five years ago.

He said, you know, all went wrong and I thought, right, I'm going to be an Uber driver.

So Smiley gets a job as an Uber driver.

He said, my first ever job, my first ever job, I get this thing saying someone three minutes around the corner needs to be taken 15 minutes away.
