You don't know what it is, you don't want to look at it, but you'd love to beat the fuck out of it. Every Thursday we dissect the Monday Celebrity episode and we become sort of like an agony aunt and uncle to the TRRS community. It doesn't work, does it? No.

66.876 - 80.597 Romesh Ranganathan

Should we call it the Truss? The Truss. The Truss. Every Thursday we dissect the Monday Celebrity episode and we become like a sort of agony aunt and uncle to the Truss community. Feels a bit JK Rowling.

83.562 - 115.286 Romesh Ranganathan

With possibly mixed success, but we hope you get a bit of entertainment. Am I right, Mum? Of course you are. With me, Shanti. On Monday, we had the one and only Miriam Margulies on the show, Mum. Do you know Miriam Margulies? Of course I do. Do you? Yeah. What does she look like? I can't explain. You can't explain. Here's a picture of her. I think you'll recognise her when you see the picture.

116.707 - 133.465 Romesh Ranganathan

Yeah. The picture's not on my face over there. Whatever she said, I remember her jokes and things. I like it. You like it? Some of them, yeah. Okay. She was promoting a new documentary made by a filmmaker she ended up becoming really good friends with. It's a bit like us, isn't it, Ben?

134.947 - 137.731 Unknown

I don't know, I feel like this is a trap. It's not a trap.

138.112 - 142.879 Romesh Ranganathan

We are good friends, man. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, yeah. We've become good friends. Ah, you, both of you, yeah.

144 - 147.706 Unknown

We don't spend, I mean, we don't do a lot of socialising, really, but we are friends.

147.926 - 148.967 Shanthi

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

148.987 - 150.71 Unknown

We speak a lot, texts and stuff.
