What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy.
Now, we're going to be talking about an expression which I hadn't heard till seven seconds ago, which is someone getting their flowers. Can you tell me what that means?
Well, it means like you've been around a long time, but people suddenly think, hang on a second, you're amazing and you should be recognised.
So you're finally getting your due.
You're getting your flowers. And you're being garlanded. Now, I would say someone like this is someone like Jean Smart, who plays the lead in Hacks. She plays Deborah Vance. OK, Jean Smart is extraordinary. She did a huge amount of TV and stage work. And there was a sense that she was sort of always brilliant. But then this one role came along, Deborah Vance in Hacks. They literally just give her the Emmy every year now. She gets her flowers every year. She gets her Emmy every year. As we always talk about Octopus's customer service, your accounts run by about 10 or 12 people. You've got a small team.
They know who you are.
Yes. And they are permitted to send flowers every week to a customer who might just be going through something, whatever it is. So they can recognise it's not an apology. It's just because someone was going through something and you get your flowers.
Another example of they seem to do business in a very interesting and customer-focused way. Imagine if Jean Smart is an octopus customer. She might get her flowers twice.
Yeah, every week.
This episode is brought to you by EasyJet. You must have had that moment when you're watching a film, but you completely tune out the plot and start daydreaming about the location instead.
The bright Mediterranean colours on screen suddenly make the British weather look even greyer.
And sometimes it doesn't even take the Technicolour. Put on a black and white thriller set on the Italian coast and I'll enjoy the mystery, but part of me is already working out which flight gets me nearest, preferably with less identity theft and bluer skies.
For me, it is Greece. Once the rumours started that a certain star-studded musical was returning to the islands, that was all I needed. I was thinking about departures.

Hello, and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment with me, Marina Hyde.
And me, Richard Osman. Hello, everybody. Hello, Marina.
How are you?
I'm all right. Still hot. How has your week been?
Oh, it's been great. Went to Wimbledon on Sunday. Yesterday, it was epic. I hear there's another Royal Box. Guess who was in my box?
Who's in your box?
Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Meryl Streep. I met the producer of Only Murders in the Building. He's a big listener to this podcast. Hello, Jess. He was wonderful. Oh, my God. That's amazing. Yeah. It was epic.
I mean, I love Meryl Streep. I love Martin Short. But Steve Martin.
Come on. Wow. Yeah.
Oh, that's amazing. Okay, for on-air stuff, I have a gift for you as well.
No.
Which is... It's a trope of my new novel, We Solve Murders. No, not We Solve Murders, We Chase Shadows. It's the follow-up to We Solve Murders.
This is so exciting. Okay, to the camera, please. I have been so dying for this. I really need this. I need to escape significant portions of my life at the moment. And this is how I'm going to be doing it. I'm so excited.
It's out on September the 15th. And these are proofs. We talked about that before, which you send out to reviewers and things like that. And to significant people in one's life.
Okay, I'm so excited. Enjoy.
This is great. Whenever you go on like This Morning or something, you always have a publicist with like five copies of your book and all they do is put them up like face up like this on the desk and then the producers come in and just put them down.
