Dave Gorman

I was doing, who was I doing at the time? I was doing, oh fuck, what's this guy's name that does PowerPoints with loads of, oh, he's one of my favourites.

Dave Gorman? No.

Oh man, that's going to kill me.

He's like one of my favourite, his girlfriend works

We do, and it's Shea Gorman, but you don't need to know that.

She's Dave Gorman's dad.

Yeah, that's right.

Revolutionary and dad of Dave Gorman.

Absolutely.

Well, yes, because it's based on Casting the Runes by M.R. James, so it's not an original piece, it is one where...

Wait, is she included? Ring them now! Instant.

Do you know what? If Dave Gorman hadn't done that, I'm Dave Gorman, I'd have gone around and tried to find Dave Gorman.

That would be my show.

That would be

Quite a lot of comics are into crosswords.

And then you have people like Dave Gorman, of course, who's been on Taskmaster.

Who is a cistern.

As does,

It wasn't

Dave Gorman, was it?

I don't know who that

is.

Now, I say we're just, you know, idly passing the time here, but actually, she says, when I woke up a short while ago, it was raining.

now you've mentioned it being a sunny saturday morning suddenly sun is shining through my bedroom window do you have magical mystical weather changing powers is it in fact now saturday of course it is that's the whole point if it's saturday in your head then it's saturday everywhere and you can tell the doctors to shove it um here's some good news she says the large hadron collider will provide uh she says will and then one i think that's about 100 billion percent definitely not destroy the world so calm down everyone it will in fact provide the world with puppies kittens and bunnies of their choice i got a very stressed call from my mom this week is very stressed about the hadron collider um she says that me and my sister say it's going to be all right so it's going to be all right but she's you know when someone says it's going to be right and they still think i'm just saying it now so that if it does go wrong just you know that i knew um so we'll play a song for anyone who is worried that the world's going to end on wednesday i'll be honest the worst thing that's going to happen is england are going to get battered by croatia but we'll also play a track this is a good way of getting a request read out for you on the show is sending a request for someone who inadvertently has also sent in a request for you so we had an email in during the week from finn and dave in wolverhampton saying hi john please could you wish one of your dedicated listeners a happy birthday emma will be 26 on thursday and i know she'd love it if you wished her a happy birthday and then oddly enough this morning we have an email in saying good morning john my email reason is to make a bit of a corny request i was hoping you might be able to read this email out and say thanks to my friends Finn and Dave, who are two of the nicest people I know.

They won't be expecting to hear their names mentioned, but I think they deserve it.

Well, I've got a feeling they will.

And that's a problem too.

Although there was a television program, I think it was an episode of Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish, where they did an experiment, I think, if I remember rightly, involving collecting money from an actual statue that was just sitting there not doing anything.

People put money in it.

So I suppose there's that.
