First 90 secondsMarina Hyde· Host0:00
The Rest is Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, the moment someone becomes properly famous, they stop traveling as a person, and they start traveling as a situation. And yes, I am talking about the world of entourages.
Richard Osman· Host0:12
It's amazing. Any time you do a TV show when someone properly famous comes on, it's sort of you, you can just have a spread bet as to how many people they're gonna bring with them.
Marina Hyde· Host0:19
Most people don't actually need a bodyguard and a fixer and a straw lady, but not having to start from scratch every single time you get in contact with someone is actually undeniably appealing.
Richard Osman· Host0:30
So Octopus Energy, you know any time you ever ring any company, you start from scratch right from the beginning again. With Octopus Energy, they recognize your number, and that goes through to a very, very small team of around 10 people who are there to deal with you. So you'll almost certainly be dealing with someone who you've dealt with before. That's the Octopus Energy entourage that they have built around you.
Marina Hyde· Host0:54
A great satisfaction not having to tell your story for new every single time, which I think most major celebrities also feel.

I sold my car on Carvana last night.
Speaker 31:03
Well, that's cool.
Speaker 21:03
No, y- you don't understand. It went perfectly. Real offer, down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong.
Speaker 31:09
So wha- what's the problem?
Speaker 21:11
That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes this smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch.
Speaker 31:14
Maybe there's no catch.
Speaker 21:16
That's exactly what a catch would want me to think.
Speaker 31:18
[laughs] Wow, you need to relax.
Speaker 21:20
I need to knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood?
Speaker 31:22
I think it's laminate.
Speaker 21:23
Okay. Yeah, that's good. That's close enough.
Speaker 41:25
