  1. Jessie Ware· Host0:00

    [upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Table Manners. I'm Jessie Ware, and I'm here in my kitchen with my mum. How are you?

  2. Lennie Ware· Host0:08

    Got a pain in my bottom.

  3. Jessie Ware· Host0:09

    Oh.

  4. Lennie Ware· Host0:10

    I've got a bit of a- Phys- ... situation ...

  5. Jessie Ware· Host0:12

    a physical situation. Got it.

  6. Lennie Ware· Host0:14

    But, um- Well, thank you for being here. You're very lucky I'm here, darling.

  7. Jessie Ware· Host0:18

    I thought you were gonna say, "You're very welcome," but yeah.

  8. Lennie Ware· Host0:19

    Yeah.

  9. Jessie Ware· Host0:19

    No, I am lucky.

  10. Lennie Ware· Host0:20

    Yeah.

  11. Jessie Ware· Host0:20

    I'm lucky you're here. I'm lucky that you do the podcast. I'm lucky that you- And you're my mum ... keep coming back for more. I'm lucky that you're my mum.

  12. Lennie Ware· Host0:26

    Yeah.

  13. Jessie Ware· Host0:26

    [inhales deeply] Um, I cooked for lots of people yesterday.

  14. Lennie Ware· Host0:30

    Yeah.

  15. Jessie Ware· Host0:30

    And something that I wanna speak to Hannah Fry, our guest today, who is the cleverest woman in the world.

  16. Lennie Ware· Host0:36

    She seems to be.

  17. Jessie Ware· Host0:37

    Do you wanna give Hannah a bit of an introduction, actually?

  18. Lennie Ware· Host0:39

    Well, I've admired her for a long time.

  19. Jessie Ware· Host0:43

    Where did you first see her on I- Have I Got News for You?

  20. Lennie Ware· Host0:45

    I watched her on Have I Got News for You? But I'd heard her voice on Curious Cases. It's, uh, a radio program she presents with Daria O'Brien, and it's very interesting. It's all about science.

  21. Jessie Ware· Host0:59

    Mm.

  22. Lennie Ware· Host0:59

    But she makes science really accessible. She's also really a gorgeous woman. Seems to be the cleverest woman I've ever come across, and she's very funny on Have I Got News for You.

  23. Jessie Ware· Host1:09

    She's brilliant online, too. Like, she'll teach you on TikTok how to open a jar when you can't get that jar open by simply breathing out. I also have listened to her new podcast, The Rest is Science, that she presents with Michael Stevens, which is... I mean, I'm not a science head, but you know, they're talking about mosh pits
