What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, what's up? What's up in the house, yo? It's Wolf and Al, baby. Tom's got Stetson
on. Yeah. Nice. Really find myself into this country music.
You're
really into country, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How are you feeling? Yeah, good, thank you.
What's going on? Nothing, I'm just sort of thinking how... Has this got legs going forward? With the
podcast?
Yeah.
What, you think I'm going to vent off and do my own country music one?
Yeah, well, if you were to do a solo podcast, because obviously I've got one, but it's not really solo. I don't know what I'd do, yeah. People prefer mum to me and people prefer you to me on this. And people refer Rob to me on Rob and Rob's Versus. I'm starting to wonder if I am the dud in everything I do. No, you're not. No, you're not. That's how you do it on Amazon with all the influencers. I'd be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind. I basically do a number of projects in which I'm the weakest link in all of them. Literally, yeah.
Wow. You're not the weakest link in the weakest link. You're the strongest thing in that show by a long way.
Well, I'm the host. It's not a huge
compliment. Depending on who's on, I guess. Yeah. That episode with Kate Garraway. Garra's. Yeah. The Radio 2 special. How's Radio 2?
Who is the best presenter on BBC Radio 2 according to Romesh and Tom?
You're the best thing on that? No. Not by a long shot. Well, you think Sally's better than you? I
think Sally's
better than me on my show, yeah. Sally Traffick is very funny, actually.
Yeah,
there
you go.
She's really sweet, isn't she? What a lovely person.
Yes, yeah.
We
all know about your
fetish. She's always got a gift with her, hasn't she? What do you mean? Every time I've been there, she's got a gift, which is nice.
What do you
mean?
She's always
given me a gift, like
some
food or a little drink or something.
Does she? Yeah. Solid traffic. Always
gives you a gift.
Yeah,
when I went to ask her, she got some doughnuts. Right. That
wasn't her?
No.
Oh,
she's just taking credit?
Yeah, that was from the head of Radio 2. Oh, okay. And they weren't for you.
I had
three. So your interpretation of that is that Sally gave you some doughnuts?
Yeah.
Yeah, they were for the presenters. Well, she offered me the doughnuts. Okay. And you had three?
Yeah. Because I was waiting for ages.
That was for the
whole of the Saturday team. I was so hungry. And I had breakfast before I got there. Right. I got there and also I get quite anxious that I'm going to sort of, you know, it's a lot to live up to when I'm on Buddy
Red. By the way, I haven't told you this. Yeah. Because I know you don't listen to the show. Do you listen to the show? No, yeah. Saturday mornings, I'm playing football, taking grace to football. Yeah, yeah. So do you know you did a jingle?
Yeah.
I start every show with that jingle now. You're
joking. I'm not. Are you? No, I'm not joking. Well, the Bridges one, that Bridges one is insane. I wonder if I can... The Bridges
one is one of those. It got produced up. Let me see if I can find it. It got produced up. Sorry, we can... That's the worst thing you can
hear.
No, we used all your vocals, but we added a bit of... Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a radio revolution.
Wow.
Every week we start a show like that. Wow, that is pretty... So thank you very much, Tom. How do you feel?
I'm going to be quite honest with you, that's a hell of a legacy. Yeah. Bang that together, that was one take. Yeah. The Bridges one was a hard act to follow, by the way.
Yeah, but we start the show every week. Wow, that's an incredible thing. So thank you very much. Thank you. What were we talking about,
Tom? We slightly need to talk to Flo about if there's money in that. well
are you owed money when I really had to convince people that you were big enough to come on
you get some big hitters on there I will say that you got some big
hitters
You have that place at your
disposal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What’s happening at Tom’s house while his wife recovers from surgery?
Anyway, the point is, I'm not the biggest thing at Radio 2. You're not the... No, you can't.
I'm the... No, you've got to be close now.
I'm the dud.
You're not
the dud. I'm the dud. I'm the dud. I'm the dud. I don't want to... No. In fact... Can I say that... You know I'm retiring.
