Ron joins us again and this episode starts mid-conversation as he tells us about his recent 25/1 win on the horses, which leads into a discussion about the Cheltenham Festival, the Aintree Grand National, and whether horse racing is becoming more popular with younger audiences.

We then dive into a mix of topics including high intelligence and memory, the strange time during Covid when GCSE grades were predicted, and the debate around Zoom calls and working from home.

As the conversation continues we get into summer arriving in the UK, sunbeds, fancy dress parties, movies that shaped our lives, and what we believe are some of the greatest acting performances ever.

Later we talk about cruise holidays, the fear of the ocean (thalassophobia), and Dan’s genuinely scary experience waking up alone on the front of a boat which explains where his fear of deep water started.

We finish by debating whether we would rather live our current lives or become pirates, before briefly discussing the current situation in Iran and how unpredictable the world can feel right now.
