First 90 seconds

  1. Richard Porter· Host0:00

    [upbeat music] I'm Richard Porter.

  2. Johnny Smith· Host0:02

    I'm Johnny Smith.

  3. Richard Porter· Host0:03

    And this is On the Other Side of Things, the Smith & Sniff spin-off in which we answer your questions. [upbeat music] Here we are again. It's a Friday. We're answering listeners' questions. You probably knew that by now.

  4. Johnny Smith· Host0:18

    Yeah.

  5. Richard Porter· Host0:18

    This is our half-hour second show. I'm just gonna dive straight in because- This, that's what my cat just did.

  6. Johnny Smith· Host0:24

    It just dived straight onto me with very wet fur. Bedraggled is the word I'm looking for. Bedraggled.

  7. Richard Porter· Host0:31

    I am gonna start with a message from a listener calling themselves Alex Twinspark. Now, Alex has a bit of previous here because he is the listener who sent us the recent story of Swanathan- Oh ... the dickhead swan that terrorizes his [laughs] parents' house.

  8. Johnny Smith· Host0:49

    Yes.

  9. Richard Porter· Host0:50

    Alex says, "Hello, you pair of E10 rifles." Um, I see what he's done there.

  10. Johnny Smith· Host0:56

    That's very good.

  11. Richard Porter· Host0:57

    Uh, "I have long suffered with an affliction that causes me to feel a primal urge to check the condition of cars around me, and desperately wants to alert drivers to issues with their cars, be it tires that are flat, blown bulbs, or parts hanging off. I'm desperately fighting the urge to warn them of things as nerdy as your indicator bulbs are now too discolored and will fail an MOT, or turn your wipers off, it's not raining, you fuckwit."

  12. Johnny Smith· Host1:26

    [laughs] Yeah, that's- My doctor- What's that about?
