1321.351 - 1347.63 David

I was in a pub in Castlefield, Manchester, and this smiley little guy at the next table bore a passing resemblance, at least to me, to Joe. It's a dog. I don't know what caused the gleeful expression. Perhaps his owner just filled his bowl with Cokey Z's. I'll send it over.

Yeah, I know. I know.

1367.648 - 1394.314 David

embarrassing do you know what that is that's a performance isn't it the whole thing's a performance it's sort of like procrastinating you're not gonna write that script i know you're you're sort of tricking yourself into thinking i'm doing something yeah like buying running trainers and not going for a run yeah to explain what it was oh god i'm so embarrassed i'm not sure i want to

1395.762 - 1399.247 Joe

We thought we were going to write a script about firemen and women.

1400.269 - 1401.791 David

Actually, we did sort of start it.

1401.811 - 1417.835 Joe

I can't remember. But we did a tour of a fire station in Brighton and even got taken up in the cherry picker. Then we never wrote.

1822.75 - 1835.147 David

No, I don't think I have, but I was just watching then going, well, I don't know, we're all the same. Surely there's just moments where you're just absent-minded. I haven't chucked anything out, apart from a banana skin in a hedge.

1835.167 - 1862.315 Joe

Is that all right? Yeah, I think, well, actually, funnily enough, Petra through, or was it Petra or Petra's mate, she came back and she went, I've just been told she had a satsuma skin that she put into a hedge. And someone was like, what the hell are you doing? It decomposes. Some people have a problem with... I'm like, well, sure, if it decomposes, it's all right. It's not lifting him, is it?

1862.976 - 1863.758 David

Well, I don't know.

0

1864.138 - 1869.086 Joe

You're chucking a satsum... Because fruit falls off a tree and rots. So you're doing that.
