Lolling alone in public
Difficult to listen to this subwaying to work without a completely kookoo smile on my face.
A Snippet of Suave
JB knows just the amount of Suave that a podcast would need, and could possibly ever need. The necessary amount of Suave required for a podcast has certainly increased over the past few decades but recently it has plateaued. JB understands he resides within that plateau. This is a peak of comedy and essence. Chicken soup for the soul was a hand written soup. Chicken soup for the ears…. Well look no further.
New day, new you!
I feel like this podcast has been specifically developed with my sense of humour in mind. I have never felt so inspired. Thank you JB and Miles for making my walk to work more mindful. I would love to hear JB’s take on my favourite quotation “You cannot step into the same river twice, for other waters are continually flowing on.” - Heraclitus
