Why should Bond themes always be performed by women?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, celebrity culture has a way of taking very small preferences and promoting them until they require a lot of paperwork.
Yeah, it's like the first time you ever go on a show and you say, oh, I could have some sparkling water. And then like forever, it's like, oh, you have to have sparkling water. You must have sparkling water. It's very, very important. And that's what we call the rider.
The rider. Right. In some cases, the rider didn't stay sort of practical for long. You know, it started as a wish list and then it sort of strayed into a kind of a hostage note from the ego. There was a point in JLo's ego where she was having like, you know, you know, the white drapes, the white candles, the white, absolutely everything, white flowers, white, you know, sofas, everything. Most people don't actually need a rider in this life of ours, however, but there is something reassuring about not having to specify everything twice in
This is one of my absolute favorite things about Octopus Energy. If you ring them about anything, your number is recognized and you'll go through to a team who deals with you and have dealt with you before. So yeah, you have a team, they recognize your number and you go through to people who you don't have to explain the same thing to 15 times.

Bridget Meyer has a question for you about the roast of Kevin Hart, which is on Netflix. Why are Americans obsessed with roasts? It seems quite an arcane format, but the Kevin Hart roast on Netflix looks like it has been a great success.
It has been a success. The roast format is basically comedians taking the piss out of somebody else. In this case, also a comedian. But not always. It's funny, we think of them as... I don't know whether it's just that our whole British culture is like this. So we don't actually feel... We're always taking the piss out of everyone and putting them down. So we don't really feel the need to have a dedicated thing. Whereas everyone's building everyone up. But every now and then they like to have a sort of... A safe space.
A safe space. Where they can say the worst things imaginable. But they really are. I mean, genuinely shocking.
You know, I mean, Kevin Hart is sitting there listening to all of his infidelities being listed. People like insults comedy. They really like it. The reason I like them is because I think I just really like jokes. And if people have crafted a beauty because, you know, you don't have long. Lots of people come into the microphone. You've got a short space of time. So and it's kind of a it's a competition. It's like sport, but amongst comedians.
You can say the worst possible thing here, but but it's still be funny.
Yes, you really look awful if your thing is cruel, funnily enough.
You actually, everyone just thinks, oh, and... It's interesting, there's sort of a if X, then Y, that you have to absolutely balance it, that if it is incredibly cruel, it has to be incredibly funny.
