- Henry starts doing his correspondence during a pause in the pod.
- Chek-cough from a seagull’s eye view as to who will be first to nod off during a production. Henry goes to the cinema to get a nap and rues that napping booths have still not been passed by Parliament, as are seen as a Perverts’ Charter. Pervo-Booths are ‘not ok’ but maybe it’s good to know where the pervs (male or female) are? 25% of the TBS audience are possibly deeply perverted women. Retro-pervs like things like a 1970s string vest worn by Paul McCartney. Murky world of perving, daytime napping, booths and kiosks are 4 sides of the same tubular coin.
- Linked to Capsule Hotels in Japan - or does Henry mean Love Hotels, which provide a space for Jiggery Pokery? Henry is the ‘Perfect Perv’, leaving a trail around London as the embodiment of the theoretical model, keeping businesses in Soho alive.
- Yentob might give support to libraries but Henry alone supports VHS erotica shops. He only needs a small, curtained space and uses it as he does a Costa, not contributing to it at all financially. He finds the ideal napping situation to be lying the wrong way round on a bed, on top of the duvet, to avoid deep sleep awfulness and confusion. To sleep in Costa he pulls his hood up and puts on sunglasses, looking like a Mega Perv.
- Ben and Mike get nap hangovers which are ‘The end of thought, the end of energy, the end of everything.’ Nap booths with timers would be a good idea - pinging after 20 mins. Henry has to use cinemas to nap.
- The recent Buzz Lightyear film was ‘such a bad idea’. Ben thinks Toy Story's Woody is ‘an awful, awful man. A smug bastard with a heart of smug.’ Classic BP naysaying! He also hates Wallace and Gromit. Henry’s dad hates Desert Island Discs. No-one dare naysay the Paddington films. A mystery friend of Henry’s hates David Attenborough - ‘It’s just a load of animals running around!’ Ben would prefer to see CGI dinosaurs. How are they still finding new animals e.g. the Bus Fish?
- Mike’s friend recommended the board game Dixit - he tries to explain it to the others but they get confused, in true board game style: ‘We’ll work it our as we go along.’ Increasingly stressful scenario builds with snapping of pencils, Bakers’ cards, Panama and general shouting
- The involvement of grandparents as passengers.
- As a child, Henry wished there were no instructions and that he could just play with the pieces.
- Monopoly was forbidden in the Wozniak household as it ‘destroys families and communities’.
- Are the pieces used in Trivial Pursuit called cheeses or wedges of pie? Henry’s parents’ suburban friends played in a Trivial Pursuit League which they only won because they memorised all the answers. Henry would rather die and be eaten by rats at Piccadilly Circus, or be beaten up in an alley by Michael Ball and fed Maltesers by Tim Rice than play in such a league. Henry doesn’t want to become super competitive but knows he does. There is a snobbery to the categories of Trivial Pursuit.
- Ben becomes a board game demon when people don’t take playing seriously.
- Mike wishes he could have watched Die Hard as a 12 year old instead.
- 50:37 - Time email section starts
- Email from Richard in Devon re Hound of the Basket Meals at Hound Tor, Dartmoor. It serves the finest Bovril and fruit cake in Devon. Henry has never had a basket meal, as a metropolitan elite, he only eats from plates.
- Leanna from Kalamazoo, Michigan, is the platonic ideal of a Provincial Dad. She takes care of the pets, grills, plans road trips, repairs things, likes puns, owns a 2013 Hyundai. What else can she do? Think about taking up a major, money-sucking pastime.

- It’s Chekhov’s Cough, isn’t it?
- It’s still not acceptable in this culture to have a nap.
- Because they will of course be co-opted by perverts.
- Thanks for reminding us, Henry, that women can be perverts too. That was a good bit of equality there.
- Un perv d’objets.
- He’s literally wearing the front cover of the perv textbook we all had.
- Is this some classic BP naysaying? I love BP naysaying.
- My Dad has done some of the most audacious naysays.
- Can you imagine how deliciously dark it would taste, to slag off the Paddington films?
- I’m not raising my voice! I’m not raising my voice! It’s just very hard to be heard when everyone’s shouting and I’m trying to tell everyone the instructions.
- No, you’re not Panama anymore. You’re now mauve! Ten minutes ago, you were Panama, now you’re mauve! How much clearer could this be?
- It’s about as fun as assembling a washing machine.
- Ooh I’ve got the Arts and Literature lasagna.
- You said I wasn’t allowed to watch “Die Hard”, Mum. You said we had to do a board game instead. Let’s at least play it!
- And 12’s just a guide. I’m basically 12.
- They’ll be straining their own beeves at home, and trying make some moonshine.
- She is the man I wish I could be.
- I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who has achieved Maximum Dadosity.
