What is John Robbins' new title and why is he now called Dr. Sir Captain John Robbins MP?
Before you start this episode, we want to invite you along to the adventures of Alice and John.
If you head over to patreon.com/slash Alice and John, you can join us on our monthly escapades, including Mini Olympics. It's the strangest legal jump in the history of long jump.
Birdwatching. My two favourite things are birds of football. Retaking our driving tests.
I am chock full of adrenaline. Yeah, it's absolutely horrible. And you can watch our latest episode now, the pottery challenge. I should warn you, pottery makes me horny. We shouldn't have worn those lights shortly.
So for adventures and so much more, head over to patreon dot com slash Ellison John now.
I know that my son is somewhere alive.
This is Deborah Tice. Her son Austin is one of the biggest missing person cases in the world. He disappeared in Syria more than a decade ago. And for years I've been searching for him. We've spoken to spies, tracked down war criminals, and uncovered evidence that has never been made public.
I want to know about my son.
Where is Austin Tice? Listen on BBC Sounds.
Hello everyone.
That's good stuff.
Did it
work? Did that work? Yeah, we'll make sure it does. Well I don't know yet. We don't know why we needed to get the horns. Play the horns again, please.
And in the uh spirit of full disclosure, those are last minute horns. That was a last minute request.
Alright for
a third time, please play the horns.
Better be huge.
Google famous doctors, and you'll be met with some of the most revered names in the history of human endeavour: Watson, Jekyll, Martins, Dre, Quinn Medicine Woman, Strange, Zeus, Who, and Hillary Jones, to name but a few. But next week, another name will be added to that list. Yes, I can reveal that from Monday I will be John Robbins no more. From then on, it's Dr. Robbins to you. The venerable and esteemed Malluds, Madames, Captains, Knights, Errants, Professors, and Granes of the Open University, Britain's most prestigious university apart from Oxford, have finally aligned themselves with the mood of the public and answered the cries of the nation by conferring on me an honorary doctorate. Whoa In what?
With all obsessed. With all fitting regalia's rights, Jews, and harpsichord accompaniments. I've made modest requests for the service, merely a horse drawn carriage to and from the ceremony, an international multi-channel simulcast with commentary provided by Claire Balding. Nice and a solitary piper's lament as I enter. And two diet cokes, usually. But what's the doctor at Forge on? Services to comment? Comedy? Services to intellect and handsomeness? Is it a recognition for your contribution to content? Or delayed recognition of your groundbreaking TV show Beat the Internet with John Robbins? Imagine. Which challenged the received wisdom that you couldn't make a TV show for a grand. No, and if any universities are listening, those ones are still up for grabs.
This one is for services to public understanding of mental health. So Ellis and Dave aren't allowed to make fun of me and still have to call me Dr. Robbins from Monday onwards for the rest of time. Dr. Robin. Dr. Robins M D. Wow. Licensed to practice medicine. Congratulations. No, no. All be a vet. Um when did you hear about this? Ah, my Luds and Madames uh contacted my team, uh, because obviously I have a team around me of PAs, um, navigators, strategists. Strategists, experts in warfare, um your agent. My agent as well as the rest of the team. I've got a chef. Have you? Yeah, I've got ten personal trainers, one in a different section of your body. Yes. I'm just training his shins. And um also various survival experts, how to disappear, spies.
I've got people on the inside, I've got someone working in Ellis' house, I've got someone in your house, Dave. Have you? You wouldn't know. Colo. Well, don't look too closely at the bell on his collar, Dave. Wow. Um Okay. Sorry, they they contacted my agent. Is this a thought experiment? Or is this is this true? It's true. It's not a thought experiment. It's not a thought experiment. Well, congratulations, John. Thank you,
