Ever wondered what it feels like to find out your favorite fragrance has been discontinued? This week, my co-host, Henry, and I are confronted with just that! We kick things off discussing our recent fragrance choices and the things we got told off for this week. We also share some exciting news about our listeners in Albania and introduce our new segment, 'Things We Got Told Off For This Week'.
We then dive into a lively chat about the joy of receiving gifts in the post and our favorite drinks. We also share a hilarious conversation with Johnny Mac about one of our favorite musicals. We reflect on the transition from being a guest to a staff member at Potters, exploring Henry's first experience compared to his current one. It’s amazing how gifts, drinks, and Potters have the power to evoke strong memories and emotions!
As we move on, we reminisce about family trips abroad and discuss the importance of finding the right break. We talk about the charm of quiz nights and the appeal of a weekend in June. We also touch upon the power of laughter, the joy of escapism, and how something as simple as pottery can have a huge impact on people's lives. Join us as we engage in fire questions about dressing up, desert island choices, and discuss the controversial scoring system of the ABC quiz. All this, peppered with our usual banter, makes for an episode you shouldn't miss!
Fragrances and Getting Told Off
Speaker 1Henry, go on. Then what did happen last night?
Speaker 2Well, jack, whilst I was leaving the dressing room, i Realized that I had packed my bag, because I have a little tote bag that I take into the dressing room sometimes. And anyway, i I packed my tote bag up of all my things I use for the shows, and then I went Back to my what things do you use for the show? I come manifesto refresh a spray L'Oreal Col' Korean my technique art styling.
Speaker 1Do you think that that stuff? do you think, does the? anybody notices that, though? What's the point of all of?
Speaker 2that, oh, everyone notices, and also for they do various fragrances that the dancers often pick up on When they're going it's only because you invade their nostrils on stage. They say it's amazing. Lucy is obsessed with it. No, and so is Jess Maynard.
Speaker 1I'm a little bit Sorry. We're just talking about fragrances. I had some devastating news this week that my Main fragrance that I use, which is Giorgio Armani Aquedia Gio, something like that.
Speaker 2It's just been discontinued. But I've told you, jack, you must look on eBay because I think my mom, she, she wears son occasionally, which is a very Rare find son. Yeah, it's a very inexpensive perfume, but It's just a very Rebecca Patterson scent.
Speaker 1Yes, it's interesting when you adopt a scent.
Speaker 2I think she adopted at an airport, i believe, because that's often when people adopt sense it's going on holiday. That's a later task.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2It's a task for later.
Speaker 1Of course I don't know. I thought you were gonna tell me more about that story, so I thought I had time no, i am.
Speaker 2So I then got back to my room. I realized I Brought back the wrong tote bag.
Speaker 1Oh, what was in your tote bag?
Speaker 2So to put my washing in it.
Speaker 1Well, this brings me on to a new little segment I think we're gonna start adopting, because yeah, especially going forward into season two as well. This is gonna become a regular thing, you know, you know Not our previous episode, obviously, because this is part two of the two-part Henry episode. We had the special yesterday. But in our Mike Scott appraisal episode we did talk about being told off, and This brings me to a nice new little segment that we're gonna call.
Speaker 2Things we got told off for this week. This week, jack, i put my personal washing in the Atlas Theatre washing machines. I was told off very much.
Speaker 1This week, henry, i failed to look at the rotor correctly And forgot that I was on a morning quiz that I'm not not usually on. I Missed that morning quiz. I was told off very much. And that concludes things we got told off for this week. We just want to be open and honest, because none of us are perfect no, no, no, and I feel like You're following our journeys And you're following our careers.
Speaker 2So if we get fired, you'll realize.
Speaker 1This is why anyway, this is another episode, so this is actually your main part of the episode. This is where we find out your perfect potter's break. Yeah, only 24 hours ago I was speaking before We do get into that, though, because legendarily, we are the number two podcast in Hopton on C, but we in Albania, all the way I know, we've talked about.

We are the number seven comedy podcast In Albania in the whole of Albania hold of the whole of the comedy genre Seven. I'm not sure if there's only seven comedy podcasts in Albania, but we are the number seventh comedy podcast, so Hello.

Speaker 1Yeah, that just doesn't hack it, does it it doesn't know. No, anyway, let's get into the main body of the episode. This is episode 15, henry Patterson, part two of the all exclusive podcast.
Speaker 2I'll do it this time, jack, no, no, i don't care. No, no, it's press what no, it what. Press play press jack press play, play, click. Did you do it at the same time?
Speaker 1press play. That was lovely. Obviously, a lot of people would assume that you'd go for a pink gin and lemonade. You've not decided to go for a pink.
Speaker 2I would have gone for a pink gin and lemonade, or a malibu and pineapple.
Speaker 1Is that?
Speaker 3your new? is that your new? I'm sorry, i'm just fine. both drinks as horrendous, so am I writing down? not the pink gin and lemonade.
Speaker 2Well, you get so well, today I actually went for hot chocolate because it was a rainy day. Um, yes, but daytime rainy morning.
Speaker 3No one would drink during the day, would they really? I mean, i probably would.
Speaker 2Yeah, jack definitely would. If I didn't have to drive I would jack pub crawl starts at like 10 Um you like you could drink, don't you?
Speaker 3I do enjoy when it's a day off. You don't mind, i could drink.
Speaker 1Well, I am more of a social drinker.
Speaker 2I like going to the pub and checking my friend out one of my favorite days was when me, jack and Rosie went to what what's that pub called The you know, the one that we entertainer.
Speaker 1That know, we do walk through barricasal. We have gone to the entertainer, but no, we went to, we went to barricasal, all right. And then the I can't because you can't get there.
Speaker 2Can you know it was like being an Oklahoma.
Speaker 3Yeah, it was the one that overlooks the, the, the broads and yeah, walks, you can only get there by boat, really can't you I?
Speaker 2cornfields and windmills, and I just kept wanting to go. there's a bridegarden, he's on the middle.
Speaker 3Yeah, I would have. I would have been doing it as well. Head.
Speaker 2We would have been great, me and mark, were we. I went for a drink with Johnny Mac that Jack wasn't invited to the other day.
Speaker 1I wasn't by it, i was just working. No, you want.
Speaker 2some of us have to work, henry and Mark and I Sat in the car and poor Johnny Mac doesn't really know where songs are from And me and mark just kept going.
Speaker 3well, we know we belong to the land and the land we belong to his grand, And when we say Hi if I owe you? Yeah, we're only saying you're doing fine, oklahoma Okay.
Speaker 1And did Johnny Mac go? oh yeah, i really like Phantom of the Opera.
Speaker 3It might.
Speaker 1He did say something like he didn't know where that was from and I said we literally just.
Speaker 2What will we just say? right, so yeah.
Speaker 3I'm talking about drinks. Yeah, what happened to the Malibu?
Speaker 2Oh, that was. that was last night. It was with Ed watching Lucy set, I mean we could have gone for a Malibu and Pineapple is both our day off today. It is. We aren't even working.
Speaker 1No, maybe we'll do that when we go for lunch afterwards.
Speaker 2Yeah, i'll have a man, We'll have a cocktail, oh my god.
Speaker 1Yeah, let's do that We've discussed your first experience of potters. Yeah, um, previously, obviously, um, so we're not going to go too much into that? Yeah, no, just um, how different is it though? Well, let's, let's talk about this, because how is it now working for here, as opposed to being coming here as a guest?
Speaker 2I'm very glad you asked me this question, because last time I was asked this question was On hour three of Roxy's episode, where I was really drunk, So I never answered it Um we probably did, it just inaudible Probably no, actually.
Speaker 2I remember what I said and like it couldn't be used. Um, so anyway, it's amazing. I think it's What people maybe don't realize. I was expecting to maybe have Some of the paint stripped away and the magic lost a little bit, but that's It. Couldn't be further from the truth. I enjoy it more as a staff member than I do a guest.
Speaker 1Yes lovely by such a long way and to go sort of a bit of a tangent, do you know who's really really lovely brings a really lovely atmosphere? Sue Driscoll on the bus. she's recently joined us on the bus. she was last year's Facebook fan of the year.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know, you mean she is she's brought such a lovely energy.
Speaker 1She's a joy. She's such a lovely human being And she listens to the podcast. She did well shout out to you, sue, sue you are literally amazing and it's really lovely to see someone who has been coming here for a guest and still will continues to come here as a guest. She's telling me she's booked in for in two weeks time and and just how excited she is to be here every single day and it's lovely to to see see a team member cycles?
Speaker 1Yes, she does it's nice and it just sort of shows that six foot one C, because you must have seen it over the years mark loads of people who came as a guest and then come and to start working in general.
Speaker 3No, i mean, i think I think people do it. I think potters has always been sort of a family, sort of staff wise, and it was more so in the early period, and what and the reason why I say that? it was because it was only open for 20 odd weeks a year, so everybody came and we all came, got together, and we was never a team that was separate to the the other stuff, you all together, we're all part of it, and we involved all the stuff and where people like Buzz would do a late night disco.
Speaker 3Well, he, his disco was early morning disco and sometimes all the way through. Well, it's usually. It was basically a handful of guests and the rest was staff that were doing the morning. So we we had this incredible relationship, but it was because we all we're all getting on for about 20 odd weeks a year.
Speaker 2Well, i think it's not evident now, after this being the 14th or well, whichever episode this is, because I know my part one was would have been 14. But you know, i'm sure it's evident in this podcast how well we all get on as a team. We spend so much time. You know, we spend all of our days off with each other, whether we like it or not.
Speaker 1But we look at us now.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you know we are pretty acceptable as a team again, whether we like it or not. But at the end of the day and I know we've said this a thousand times and it is a cliche saying that we're like a family, but it can be more true. I mean we, we live together, work together, we have the family. you know domestics all the time. Me and Jack are constantly fighting.
Speaker 1You do. He's a little brother I never wanted.
Speaker 2Yes, but equally, we all love each other very much, isn't that right, jack?
Speaker 1I actually am going to admit it is your episode. I'll be nice to you. Don't necessarily want this on record, but yes.
Speaker 2I've just realized at the end of this, so I get to answer who would I rather take on holiday, you or Mark? Yes, amazing, and it will be you, jack, because I don't know That. Now, right, let's get going.
Speaker 3So you love the different solidisation staff. In fact that you actually the magic of all the staff.
Speaker 2I've never had a huge holiday, so I used to come here with my mom, my dad and my grandma.
Speaker 1really, That's sort of goes on to our next question. Yeah, you know the format by now.
Speaker 2Yes, i'm aware of how the podcast, but I used to come here with my mum, my grandma, my dad and we never had a huge family so I never had. You know the whole thing of you see big families and trying to think of a good example now And they'll sit in a massive group. And you know, now I get to experience that from a staff point of view and I know you will like family. You know I know a lot of you better than I know some of my family anyway. So it's lovely at the end of an evening to just go and sit in the garden bar or the bowl is bar and just talk and just have a great time. It's just really, really lovely.
Speaker 1We're talking about big family groups And one of the first questions we ask people on this podcast is what's the first thing you do when you arrive on resort? So what would you do for your perfect potters break?
Speaker 2So I was very much when I used to come. I was very much. the first thing I do is get a highlighter in the program, very first thing I do like that's, by the way, that's while still stood at reception. Yeah, i like the program Um, so it would very much be that, followed by I mean, when I was younger, i think, I just used to try and find Mark actually. Yeah, it would be the first thing I would do.
Speaker 3Wow. Yeah, there's a new one, but you would never see me till the the early.
Speaker 2No, so I was ever came in for the dinner.
Speaker 3I was just a kid. I would probably go find someone to annoy I.
Speaker 2I used to really annoy Aaron Bolton when I was on resort Um how, the how the tables are, i'm telling you, but because he used to sell bingo tickets outside the Atlas doors when it used to be from a little cash box.
Speaker 1Is he really?
Speaker 2Yeah, and I used to go up to him and sing show tunes at him and like follow him around, um, so I think I'd probably be doing that, so I would go and grab a drink and then would still sit with the editor. It's programmed. There's something lovely about sitting with family going through the program.
Speaker 1Planning all the things you're going to do together.
Speaker 3I just catch. I always catch people doing that. You always judge people's choices as well.
Speaker 2Like in August. I'm really excited. I'm so excited My grandma, my uncle, my mom, my dad are coming. When I'm so excited about is my grandma, my mom and my uncle Marcus used to come to potters in the 80s when they were very, very young. Now they've not been as a trio and they've not been on holiday, just just kind of those three and my dad of course. But they've not done that since then And they're coming back this year to kind of recreate that which is so, so lovely. Cause my mom remembers, you know, the old kind of when the children would be sent off to the bungalows at, you know, at the end of the evening with good luck children. And you know she remembers all of that, she remembers the rambles. I've kind of got this history of potters which is far deeper than it kind of may seem on surface value.
Speaker 1What sort of breaker are you booking on for? What's the? what's your favorite time of the year, and is that? has that been influenced by working here? Yes, i think I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 2You're going to say actually um, maybe I, maybe you do, maybe you don't I don't actually know. So I'm going to have to do a quick rapid fire and this I think that's exactly what Mark did, So we may end up with the same thing If we actually don't know. So I actually weirdly enjoyed Sir Rock Weekend.
Speaker 1Right, no, no, no no because not many people experience.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3I'm not. Not many people even know what that means. Yeah, sir, rock Weekend, it's a silent disco which would make my entire life.
Speaker 1I knew you would say it just for the silent disco, the silent disco was an incredible night.
Speaker 2Um, but I wouldn't take Sir Rock otherwise, Um, but I really enjoyed Sir Rock Weekend.
Speaker 2Um New Year's Eve was a amazing night because, I've never done a big New Year's Eve really but, we used to have kind of fairly intimate New Year's Eve's um in staying in, which, which are lovely Um, but last last year was amazing, a lot, a lot of fun. The actual Christmas break itself again was very fun because that was my first Christmas day away from home, but again because I was with family, it didn't feel like I was away And I'm starting to enjoy summer more.
Speaker 1We're not even at summer yet, but yeah.
Speaker 2I really have enjoyed the past few weeks Actually the warm weather without children Love that.
Speaker 3But the weird thing is you already answered initially that your favorite time was August, when you came as a child. And what you look forward to, but now you're looking at as a working, so you actually are reflecting it more as the fact that how much you enjoyed. I would probably break you enjoyed, but working with, which is, I was found was difficult after 40 years to explain anything like that.
Speaker 2Well, i was about to say I would do a weekend in June, but I realized, mark, it's not here for June.
Speaker 3No, that's good.
Speaker 2So, in fact, actually, i definitely do a weekend in June. Um, i would do a weekend in June if Mark could be here, so I would request Mark to be in and I do a weekend in June. That's the break I'd go on. Oh wow, it's very specific.
Speaker 3That is so specific, but why in June, though? What was?
Speaker 1June No, we've got the South Terrace open.
Speaker 3I can see that.
Speaker 2Yeah, South Terrace is open. There are no children here.
Speaker 1Just to make it clear I don't think it's been clear enough so far Henry doesn't like children. I don't dislike them.
Speaker 2I think you're making it a little bit clearer. I don't dislike them.
Speaker 1Um, what's the first thing you do in the first bit on the morning on resort? Then what's the first thing you've woken?
Speaker 2up on resort. Okay, um right, so I don't wake up very early. No, we know that, as previously discussed, But whenever I have family or friends here, I do try and make breakfast.
Speaker 1Can I just say I walk part because we live next door to each other. Yeah, yesterday I was out, i was up early, i went for a walk. Oh, did you hear my alarm?
Speaker 1The alarm was just going off and it was on a bit of a loop and I was. I was so tempted to just start banging on the window, but I thought if I did that then he might try and join me on my walk. So I just ignored you, but it was going off for some time, but you can hear my alarm chorus.
Speaker 2Yeah, i sleep through many an alarm.
Speaker 1Yeah, i can, i can tell Um, yeah, it just really made me chuckle.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, you'll hear it a lot, because then also I have my iPad and my phone, are both sets, then there are two alarms that then start going off. Still doesn't wake me up.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I basically wake up naturally to the sound of alarms. Yes, That's it. The alarms are just how. I know that I should be waking up at that time, but I don't actually wake up at them. So I'll wake up be the last in breakfast, 100%. then we'll try and catch a quiz. I actually do love a quiz. I try and catch my own geography quiz and I would have me hosting it, Um unbearable.
Speaker 2No, I would. I would try and catch some kind of quiz. I actually am not bothered what the quiz is, as long as it's not TV or sport TV quizzes. I find a little bit. I'm fairly niche in the TV. I watch that I'm not good at escape to the shadow mostly. Yeah, i'm not good at anything else. Um, so kind of things like that and like sport is just terrible. But anything else I would enjoy and I probably do, okay, at lunchtime. Special is a definite Yeah Has to be done.
Speaker 1Have you got a favorite lunchtime, special one that you remember or one that you have?
Speaker 2been a part of Be the entertainer.
Speaker 1Yes, okay, has to be the one.
Speaker 2That's the one I remember the most And, like the letter, i game as well.
Speaker 3Not many people remember that because it was a Johnny Cleveland event or wonderful event maybe that much.
Speaker 2I loved that game.
Speaker 3But that was totally what's the word. You never knew what people were going to say.
Speaker 2I called Johnny out, though. Yeah, yeah, i chose um in Paradisum four-way requiem.
Speaker 3And you thought that Johnny, yes, but he would have tried to know, that He tried, he would have pretended to know.
Speaker 2He tried, or maybe it was even the Darufle requiem, i can't remember, because four is a little bit more famous.
Speaker 1It's got the, so I'm so special as finished. Yes, what are you going to go for for lunch? For lunch, okay. So I'm going to say it now. I think a bit of coronation chicken right, yeah. Because at the moment, mean you've got this weird obsession with the coronation.
Speaker 3I can't believe you have, because that's all I normally have. We don't have a word. It's a constant obsession, it's not at the moment It's like always.
Speaker 2Yeah, um, you can count on me that I'm well experienced in the Potters of Resorts lunch department. Oh yeah, you certainly are, because it is what I have lived on for the past like 15 months. So, uh, yeah, i, my lunch is coronation chicken, a bit of lettuce, because if I have salad it has to have a dressing and we don't have a balsamic glaze. Maybe for next summer we can have a balsamic glaze.
Speaker 1Maybe I'll just buy you your own for your birthday.
Speaker 2Oh my God, i love a balsamic glaze And I've got my condiments back. Um so anyway. coronation chicken, maybe some ham, some lettuce, some sweet corn, some cucumber and some chips. That's my lunch.
Speaker 1Done Shall, we do it then, mark, do you want to? It's the moment you keep trying to bring in.
Speaker 3Are we going to do the ABC? I've been waiting to do the ABC quiz.
Speaker 1This is good, this is, this is.
Speaker 3Do we not count what you did in the afternoon? and then No, no, no, it was a favourite show I was like how's this going to work?
Speaker 2Well, i was going to leave this to happen.
Speaker 1No, no, no no, i can't wait to see.
Speaker 2I'm just going to leave this to happen.
Speaker 1So yes, it is that time You tell your lover quiz. You know what's happening here, so it's just. I'm just going to see what happens. Yeah, it is now time for the ABC quiz. As you know, stands for No idea, No.
Speaker 3Well, what does ABC the ABC stands for? It stands for anything but correct. I'm writing it down because I don't listen to it enough. Thanks, Mark.
Speaker 2That was really weird for me.
Speaker 1The ABC stands for Anything but correct As you know, how do you feel about this?
Speaker 2Oh my God, I'm actually really nervous. It's weird, isn't it? Oh, this is horrible.
Speaker 1This is weird. So anyway, I know I'm dreading mine.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Here we go. As you know, you've got 48 seconds on the clock, not 48 minutes. Thank you, as Sean had, here we go.
Speaker 3Who's doing the 48 seconds? I'm.
Speaker 2Mark, please make sure you write down all my answers, okay.
Speaker 3Yes, I will Making space.

Speaker 2The example question is if we were to say it's the sky, what color is the sky? I would say red and it would be wrong. That's how I play the game.

Speaker 3It's really like.
Speaker 2I got six there, do you?
Speaker 3not think that you've gone gray again. Well, it's all like dull colors, isn't it?

Speaker 3Well, you didn't make a mistake. What was the animal's noise? That was a puffin sound. What noise does an elephant?
Speaker 1make in you. It's definitely a puffin sound, because this is the sound of our sponsor puffin Patti LaPuffin.
Speaker 2And this is me.
Speaker 3We expected you to do well.
Speaker 2to be honest, Can you move the mic back to your mouth please?
Speaker 3We expected you to do well, henry, and there wasn't really Diane and Musical Amazing. I was going to give you a bonus because I know Thank you.
Speaker 2That would have pained you It would have really upset you to say that I was going to say well, i didn't realize that was true.
Speaker 3And then we would have done minus points and we'd know how you feel about that. But So in fact, all together you've got a whopping.
Speaker 2Hang on. Sorry have I only got one bonus point.
Speaker 3Yeah, there was nothing that I was really impressed with.
Speaker 2Not even my noise of the elephant.
Speaker 3No, I thought that was an awful sound. I thought of any sound that was You're giving me one bonus point.
Speaker 2I've not given a single guest. One bonus point.
Speaker 1Well, there was. You did say name a type of bird you'd see on Hopton Beach, and you said lion which is not a type of bird.
Speaker 2That's the point. Is there anything but correct?
Speaker 1No, but you could have said puffin, because we know you wouldn't have seen a puffin on Hopton Beach.
Speaker 2I did see a puffin on Hopton Beach.
Speaker 3Or a flamingo Right.
Speaker 1What was?
Speaker 3your tentacles about.
Speaker 2Oh, come on, that's a bonus point.
Speaker 1What would you wear on your feet? tentacles. Do we have a bonus point for that?
Speaker 3No, because it's not realistic. But that's the point. No, but tentacles.
Speaker 2Who let this? Greg? can I mark my own? No, can I mark my own? No tentacles. Is that my own? It's my own.
Speaker 1That's the point for me, because you wouldn't put on your feet.
Speaker 3Tentacles That's the point. No, but you could put anything on your feet. What would you put on your feet, Mark, A TV, What See? what would you put on your feet? Something outrageous. What's wrong with you Tentacles is still. It's actually It's off foot. Where is it? No, but they still could be. Your feet could be tentacles. You could have long toes, Henry.
Speaker 2That's not a tentacle, that's a long toe.
Speaker 3Yes, that's why I don't. I never gave you any bonus for that.
Speaker 2Right, what do I end with?
Speaker 3You ended up with. He looks really sad on this 12.
Speaker 2Oh, for goodness sake.
Speaker 3I haven't added, i haven't done the colors I've done one above Johnny Mack.
Speaker 2Like one place above Johnny Mack.
Speaker 3No, no. Well, you only got 11. And then you had the grey egg shell fawn. claret that.
Speaker 2And you know I'm going to give you one point. What's got got? 19.5?.
Speaker 3So I'm going to give you 13 points. Unlucky for something. Thank you, Mark, for that. I wasn't really impressed. I would have liked you to be bright colours Any other bright colours back What You went? grey egg shell fawn.
Speaker 2That's not your job. That's not what we're here to do.
Speaker 3I'm just saying, it just shows you the mood you were seeing Henry.
Speaker 1We're moving on to the afternoon.
Speaker 2Yep.
Speaker 1Is there any sort of afternoon activities, like when you came as a guest? obviously you said nothing really too sporty in terms of the quiz round, but did you take part in any of the activities?
Speaker 2We well champsour. I think I ever took part in that. I think I just watched it, but now of course I do. I used to do buzzer's treasure hunt a lot, go to the arcade with stolen money from newspapers, of course. But no, so I'd probably do the two o'clock quiz Definitely. Hoy Bingo. Yes, I wouldn't actually do a single activity. I don't think Crazy Golf, that soft program, I get that.
Speaker 1No, but that's still relevant.
Speaker 2And then my grandma and I would often walk to the beach to go and spot seals.
Speaker 3Did you spot many seals?
Speaker 2Yeah, no, there's a photo of us. We saw a very arrogant, obnoxious seal, me and Jack.
Speaker 3How did you know he's been arrogant?
Speaker 1He just felt the connection with him. So that's I mean quite a wide range of different things. You do sort of both off.
Speaker 3You never bought up the Street Fair, which, of course, is infamous for you getting really in there.
Speaker 2Well Street Fair, of course. Well, i remember caking you.
Speaker 3I know, but you get on a cake now You do fall in love with it. Before you came, Jack got a lot of cakes. I did, it's very true. It was funny how you irritated. At first it was Jack irritating everyone, and now it's Henry that irritates.
Speaker 1We talked a lot about Street Fair previously and we said that maybe this year is the year of Brian. Now, since then, since then we've had a Street Fair and Brian got a cake. Can I just say how this happened.
Speaker 2They chose Mark and then Brian, then reappeared because he was hiding And then Brian reappeared and then Jack and I ran up to this poor girl who just picked Mark and said we will pay you, we will do anything, pick Brian, change your mind and pick Brian. And she did, and she did, and she said I changed my mind, i picked Brian And Brian went into stocks and there's a photo that I often send on many of group chat.
Speaker 3Do you just change your up? Brian made the fatal mistake of appearing after. Yes, he did While we were still saying I was still trying to get out of it. That was the point.
Speaker 1You will notice that is a picture. You will notice that many team members do disappear by the time it comes to the cake. There's a bit of crazy golf, a bit of Street Fair and things like that Street Fair, champsour.
Speaker 2What else do I do? Well, you have had a bit.
Speaker 3You can't fit everything else in because you've already done the quiz. You've done the Champions Hour the H8, the Hoi Time the.
Speaker 2Street Fair. We don't really do this podcast as a literal I have to be confined to the realms of time.
Speaker 3I work it out from 2 o'clock. How are you going to fit all that in?
Speaker 1This is his perfect break. This is an imaginary concept.
Speaker 2This is not a literal. I would probably catch a live music set on the South Terrace as well, if that's okay with you, mark.
Speaker 3Well, I do like the live sets.
Speaker 2So that's okay. Do you think I'm going to put that one in?
Speaker 3Are you doing it at the end of the afternoon though?
Speaker 2Well, okay, to be honest, Mark, i don't really care what time I do it. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not thinking too deeply into this, is there?
Speaker 1anything else off-program that you do, there's nothing else off-program.
Speaker 2Walk to Galston.
Speaker 1It is a lovely walk. actually, it's a really nice walk. It is a lovely walk.
Speaker 2And if any guest of a fancy is like an hour and a bit to walk.
Speaker 1Yeah, and did you see I think it was on this morning as in the program this morning Highlighted, wasn't it? Galston is the best beach in the UK, number one beach, and I agree with that. I'm very biased, obviously, from being from the north. I agree with it too. It's such a beautiful beach.
Speaker 3And they got a lot of our sand. One stormy weather.
Speaker 2Our sand.
Speaker 3Our sand at Houghton was stolen. The storm swept it out And you know what?
Speaker 1caused it.
Speaker 3And what The breaker? They got a lot of us The breaker. The break You know, they built a new break for the new harbour that we were getting. And the new break caused the sea to react differently, to go through, and the wind and the storm Talk all our sound. We woke up one morning. There was no sand on the beach This is true. This is true. We lost our And Galston apparently number one beach. It's half-Hopton's beach. I would argue with that.
Speaker 2So you say Hopton's beach is actually number one beach.
Speaker 1Well, it would be if we had any sand. So we're heading into the evening.
Speaker 2Already.
Speaker 1Heading into the evening. Is there any sort of dinner you like? Yeah, what should we go to dinner here at Potter's?
Speaker 2You know we both love a pate.
Speaker 1Oh yes.
Speaker 2Bit of a sucker for a pate, aren't?
Speaker 1we Yeah.
Speaker 2Starter would be a pate.
Speaker 1Could do with a pate today.
Speaker 2But duck liver, Absolutely Duck liver pate Main course. maybe a steak Like a steak and chips kind of thing.
Speaker 3Funny enough, I've never seen you eat steak.
Speaker 2So when we go to New York, mark, you'll assume, in a new light. No, oh, like, coach, you're a really good flattened steak. What do I get really excited for? I've really liked, oh, that beef stew that we did The Galston-Bridge stew.
Speaker 1No, that was the Galston-Bridge lamb.
Speaker 2That beef stew was really good, so I'd probably have that, and then Stealing Mark's banoffee pie for dessert, and I mean having my own and then literally stealing his as well.
Speaker 3One day they might bring it into it.
Speaker 2We just started petitioning. I'm so excited because Mark and I and you can come to Jack if Sue lets us have all the holiday off at the same time.
Speaker 3Did you know? after nearly 30 odd years I went back to Burgo, where I had the best banoffee pie to the beach restaurant there.
Speaker 2I think Jialin will top it.
Speaker 3And I went down there This is a couple of weeks ago. I said I've come for the banoffee pie And they gave me a banoffee pie, but it was obviously made already made in the you know Frozen.
Speaker 3It was obviously ruined. And I said my whole illusion of the last. And then by pure luck, pure luck, i went to the Lighthouse restaurant where Keith Cousins runs and Fran owns it and Lagoa, Lagoa. And he turned around and I said and I jokingly went to the girl I'm really looking forward to my banoffee pie, because that's what I normally do at most restaurants and say see their faces when they're trying to say have we got banoffee? Anyway, this lady went of course and out came this incredible banoffee pie.
Speaker 2But no, it would be banoffee pie for dessert. What question comes after that, Jack?
Speaker 1Well, heading into the evening, Favorite show of all time to sit down and watch.
Speaker 2Okay, so I think Don't forget, you go back. Yeah, no, showstoppers would be one.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2It's between three actually.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2Showstoppers, obviously simply the best. Sorry it's a bit of a cliche, but it is.
Speaker 3Nearly enough, everyone's gone for it, haven't they?
Speaker 2And putting on the glitz as well. It's one of my favorites because I love that style of music And I really enjoy putting on the glitz And I adore being in it, because I just love singing that type of music.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So it'd be glitz simply, or showstoppers.
Speaker 1If you had to choose one.
Speaker 3I'd choose one probably to round off, what was in showstoppers.
Speaker 2Sorry.
Speaker 3What was in showstoppers?
Speaker 2That was like the Miss Saigon one.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2But also I've got to say I would request. So I would probably choose glitz, actually only because I think that's a nice way to end a kind of evening. It's a very classy show. It's a very elegant show But I would have, in the middle of glitz, a little interlude with some of the old sketches, like the old Morris Dancing sketch with Mary. Yeah, the Wild West sketch I would throw a lot of. I would basically be glitz with an unleashed in the middle And with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the.
Speaker 3How bad was that.
Speaker 2That was amazing. I watched a video. There's a video on YouTube of Jaco And I watched that the other day and the memories came flooding back and that was amazing.
Speaker 3And when you think we have the summer of six weeks, we probably only did it three times, honestly, because it was too dangerous.
Speaker 2I'd been there for the Jaco one And I just didn't know it was Jaco. But do you know what? I was stunned by how clean you were. I got away with it. How did you do that? I'm not sure You're wearing white trousers.
Speaker 3Yeah, i came out as Willy Wonka. Yeah, and I really don't know how.
Speaker 2Which is a wonderful name for you, isn't it Mark?
Speaker 3Some of the guys totally chocolate all over from head to toe, tried to catch me, but they were fall over. Yeah, there was it so.
Speaker 2It was honestly, I was laughing a lot.
Speaker 1Have you got any standout memories of Potter? I know there's a lot with one over, and is there one? you can choose that you can sort of summarise very briefly, if that's possible for you.
Speaker 2One of my favourite ones, my grandma. I used to call her grandma Pet, my dad's mum. She was from Newcastle. Why?
Speaker 1I hate.
The Power of Laughter and Escapism
Speaker 2Pet, yeah, and she would always call me Pet And she was just the most amazing, amazing, amazing woman And she came to live with us for the kind of last five years of her life And you know, she built an extension and she had a little kind of annex And we came here It was me, my parents and her, and it was the George and the Dragon, the Hairytale, followed by Patriotics. I've never seen her laugh so much. She found it just the funniest thing in the world.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2And she was like you know, i'm not going to remember this, i'm going to remember this, And my mum often says it She looked over and she was like you know when you need to capture a memory and you make a conscious effort And I'm kind of getting emotional to talk about it now But you know, when you feel like you have to remember something And it's happened a few times in my life where you like look at memory and you think this is important and I need to remember this And she was so happy And, like the George and the Dragon thing, she was laughing so much And people liked it. That's it. So, um, i'm going to thank my parents And we were like all five, six, i'll be back with a hurry thing And I found a And I think that was like one of my favorite memories And whenever we do patriotics without fail, i think of my grandma. Pet sat on the left hand side of the room on the front row with her flag singing along as well.
Speaker 3I think what you've said there describes a lot of people's other emotions and other people's feelings because I've heard it so many times.
Speaker 1Beautifully captured that, yeah.
Speaker 3I don't know how many people talk to me about nannies and, like nannies, died. now Our fondest memory is watching her laughing her head off. Whether it was Bullseye, whether it was the Champions Hour, whether it was obviously the unleashed that we turned into And I think that's.
Speaker 1It's such a big thing And I think some people may say what we do is not saving lives, but I think you have to agree it is making, it's making lives and and it can make huge impacts to people.
Speaker 2And I think, as you know, in in both parts of this episode or both parts of Mindful View today, i think, is evident that potters, as its entertainment form, can impact lives hugely, whether it's through what I'm doing now, which is Mark giving me the opportunity to go on stage and to sing, or making people just immensely happy. on either side, the entertainment department here is is a crucial heart of the business.
Speaker 1And we really we do appreciate that knowledge, that, and you know what I mean we often, we often talk about this because we are incredibly lucky to do what we do and have the connections and the relationships of people that we do. You do have to sometimes just take a step back and look out and see people enjoying themselves and see people you know in that moment.
Speaker 2And sometimes I think you, you take a moment, especially on doors, and I know it's happened recently and I won't get into too too, too, too, too too many details, but you know, you hear of people who may be going through a tough time at the minute or who aren't very well, or who have family who aren't well. life happens.
Speaker 2Yeah right And we hear a lot of it on doors after a break of people saying I have had a really bad week Or I've got very run at the minute, or this has happened and this has happened, but tonight I let all of that go, yeah, and I laughed and I felt really happy and it's escapism. That's exactly what people come here for And it's very touching to be a part of that.
Speaker 1Say it all the time in terms of that, that is the one thing we do. best is exactly that offer that little bit of escapism to just allow people just to get away from it and enjoy. Enjoy just their time. Come together I agree, but we've reached the last.
Speaker 2We have last morning.
Fire Questions and Desert Island Choices
Speaker 1Last morning on resort. There's a couple of quick fire questions.
Speaker 2Oh, they're really.
Speaker 1I'm sure you're, i'm sure you've prepped yourself for these.
Speaker 2No, that's not happening.
Speaker 1I really haven't Couple of quick fire questions. So first of all, Henry, are you a dress up or dressed down sort of person?
Speaker 2Dress up without a shadow of a doubt.
Speaker 1You are wearing pajama trousers? They're not pajamas.
Speaker 2They're Ralph Lauren. Perhaps is for Wimbledon.
Speaker 1If you were to be stuck on a desert island with any potters team member, who would it be and why?
Speaker 2Can I choose one? Why am I asking this? I know the answer Yes. Is the answer yes?
Speaker 3No, who would you take?
Speaker 2One person One person on the desert. So yes, it's the answer. I'm not going to do Mark Bruin say Celia Poster, although I do think Celia and I would have a wonderful time.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Talking about a mess scarf, so maybe it would be Celia, actually.
Speaker 3They are See how we do it.
Speaker 2Roxy and I would have a lot of fun. Who else? Rosie as well? Oh, okay, it's between Celia, roxy and Rosie.
Speaker 3There you are, strange, i wrote down Roxy saying that You'll say Roxy.
Speaker 2You want me to do predictions. I was like I like this.
Speaker 3I put it down as a prediction Celia.
Speaker 2It's like a misdremissive.
Speaker 1The way he can read minds.
Speaker 2I would probably go for Jules on bars.
Speaker 1So you said I'm not going to do what Mark Bruin has done and just named the last person I spoke to And you've gone for Jules on bars.
Speaker 2Love Jules She's so Mama. Jules, mama Jules, what a ledge.
Speaker 1Any particular reason why.
Speaker 2I just think she'd be a laugh, wouldn't she?
Speaker 3You do know you're talking about me on a deserted island, though.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's true. I'm fully aware of that. I'd go for Mama Jules. What? No, probably.
Speaker 3She'd be very happy. Yeah, Mama.
Speaker 2Jules.
Speaker 1Don't doubt yourself. Not gonna doubt myself. What was the last thing you impulse bought?
Speaker 2Oh, my God Okay.
Speaker 3Got me your trousers innit, The trousers weren't impulse. You tell me that you bought those straight away.
Speaker 2Impulse I was going to put on impulse. Tickets to parade on Broadway were fairly impulse.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2That was very quick. I just kind of added them in the basket. I've got this thing where I'll say, because I often go to the theatre with Mum and Claire, i often just say I've booked this, send me ex-money. But they've got no idea what I've just booked. Because there are some things that I'm just like, yeah, you have to see this, like we're gonna go and see Stephanie J Block at Caduggan Hall.
Speaker 3Of course. Does that mean anything to you, Mike? Not at all.
Speaker 2But also, yeah, I did a bit of a Hackett shopping spree the other day as well. Got that. That's arriving tomorrow.
Speaker 1So close then.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, what is the last thing you put into Google?
Speaker 2So the last thing I put into Google is what train station was President Garfield shot at?
Speaker 1You knew it was going to be something boring, didn't you? Disappointing, and what was the train station?
Speaker 2It was the Potomac Railway Station.
Speaker 1I didn't think that would get more boring but it has. Our final question Who would you rather take on holiday with you? Come on, henry, is it me or Mark? It's a hell of a call.
Speaker 2So I'm conscious if I say Jack, I'm adding to the people who have said Jack.
Speaker 1I knew you were going to say this.
Speaker 2Now me and Mark are going to New York.
Speaker 3Yes, we are.
Speaker 2We're going to have an amazing time.
Speaker 3Just for you to show me the best, benofi pie.
Speaker 2That's really the reason I'm going.
Speaker 1I want him to pick you.
Speaker 3But now it's your call, henry, because God, you can't take Jules.
Speaker 2Can I take Celia? OK, right, mark or Jack.
Speaker 3It's a tough call, isn't it? And someone says that to you.
Speaker 2Oh God, don't look at me. Stop looking at me. It's like being in an avatar. Honestly, It won't upset any of us. It's like being lousy off to slaughter. It really won't upset any of us, mark, i would choose you.
Speaker 1Thank you, it would have upset me if you'd have chosen me.
Speaker 2I'll tell you why as well. So you'd be more up for an impulsive theatre trip And I think you wouldn't oppose necessarily to some of the higher ticket prices, whereas Jack, i think, would be more concerned, because I can tell you that it's a song time musical and I think you'd be up to it, whereas Jack would go, but I'd actually want to see that. I'd rather spend money on you know boring things.
Speaker 3Well, thank you. So is that the Henry interview on the first part.
Speaker 2That's it. That's it, Mark. No, that's part one and two. God, no, we're not going to do another part, because that is a long, long hit That is it?
Speaker 3Thank you guys. Thank you, henry Patrickson. You look, so it's going to take a very long time.
Speaker 1That's been really weird, can I just?
Speaker 2say That's been really strange. Yeah, i know that, yeah, and I'm just saying now, Jack, that when it comes to your episode, nothing prepares you for how weird this is. No, I really mean that Because I thought I'd be fine, but this is really strange. I'm really excited to be sat back on that side, and that was me.
Speaker 1Once again. So there we go, henry. We've designed your perfect potter's break. How did that feel? I know we talked about it at the start of episode 14. Yeah, weird, but it was weird just sitting in the chair.
ABC Quiz Scoring Controversy Discussion
Speaker 2Really weird, but I feel like I've had kind of practice So I knew what I was saying, because we always kind of think to ourselves, oh no, i wouldn't do that, or yeah, actually, i would definitely do that. Mark really planted those binoffee seed, binoffee pie seeds, not the binoffee seeds, oh, those classic binoffee seeds, clanted, clanted, clanted, the binoffee pie seeds, clanted those binoffee seeds In my brain. But yeah, jack, you're up next, i know.
Speaker 1I'm a little bit nervous about it, to be honest. It's going to be interesting. This is one thing we need to talk about The ABC quiz.
Speaker 2I mean, i think I'm going to get Lucy Hunt to independently judge mine, because we haven't done a leaderboard this week.
Speaker 1So are you picking someone that you deliberately helped that?
Speaker 2Well, normally we do the scores on the doors for the ABC quiz.
Speaker 1Why don't we get an independent adjudicator?
Speaker 2But I think we'll do that, maybe in the RAP party. Well, we'll have my scores on the doors, because I'm going to dispute that. Hence why we didn't have it in the episode, because I'm disputing that. I got one bonus point.
Speaker 1You're quite offended by that, aren't you?
Speaker 2No one else has been asked named six colours of the rainbow.
Speaker 1That wasn't a serious question, that was just a little bit of fun at the end there.
Speaker 2It's not meant to be for fun, this quiz, jack. It isn't meant to be fun, it's meant to be a game, it's a competition.
Speaker 1Why I did that one on as a bonus question. Your time had gone out anyway.
Speaker 2But you always ask people bonus questions and they always get included. That's like me saying I'm going to take away the three points I gave X.
Speaker 1I could give you one point for that answer.
Speaker 2I'd like six points, because I gave you six answers.
Speaker 1Still wouldn't help you. Mark was quite a ruthless scorer.
Speaker 2I would still get to 18. Sorry, mark, was quite a ruthless scorer. I would still get to 18, and I would be tying pretty high up the top.
Speaker 1No, no, because you cheated to allow Mike Scott to go ahead. I hope you have enjoyed hearing us twice this week, twice Double, double dosage. A double billing Double billing of the all-exclusive podcast.
Speaker 2Bah, bah, i'm going to. I think I should probably call Parcel Force and Peter, don't you think?
Speaker 1Yeah, I suppose if that's important to you.
