They also talk about a Marbella social media meme trend involving AI images of Leonardo di Caprio in different locations around Marbella. The one on the San Pedro Guide of him standing outside The Hogan Stand in San Pedro sort of went viral!

Hannah also did another interview with actress Susan George, but this time about her acting career starring alongside greats like Dustin Hoffman.

They also chat about European football finals, including PJ's team Crystal Palace who won the European Conference League final, and also Arsenal in the Champions League final. On Friday, PJ had some colleagues from work over for dinner so he speaks about juggling work, buying ingredients, cooking and cleaning. Meanwhile Hannah had taken off to Seville with some girlfriends for a weekend away. Listen to hear more about their antics from sherry tasting to rooftop drinking. Upon her return they chat about a welcome drink of Hugo Spritz (PJ has some info about its origins, of course). Hannah speaks sadly and very fondly of a singer that passed away suddenly during the week who was part of a trio called the Rat Pack. He was the Frank Sinatra of the group who have played most top venues on the coast. She has some fabulous memories that she shares so listen out for those. Some of this week's articles from their collaborators The Euro Weekly News included the 'lost in translation' misunderstanding of a comedy sketch on Joe Irish News about grading the redness of some Irish sun bathers. Hannah also reads some interesting tips from an article about keeping cool this summer. Finally, there is a reminder about the Collective Calling Gala on Friday 5th June at Cortijo de Cortes which aims to raise much needed funds for the charity. One of the auction items is the very generous donation that Hannah and PJ's friends Steph and Frank gave them to give to a charity auction, a pair of boxing shorts singed by boxing legends Casius Clay (aka Mohamed Ali) and Mike Tyson.
