flowers in the road. Apparently after
30:02
he's planted the flowers, the council's
30:04
just paved them over because the
30:06
flowers are there. That's somehow like
30:08
a road safety thing. He's killing
30:10
it. Because they could puncture a
30:13
tire. Planting cactuses. I was drawn
30:15
to this story because one of
30:17
our favorite people started filling in
30:19
potholes in his own community, which
30:21
is Rod Stewart. We
30:23
have a channel on our
30:26
Slack, which is like a work
30:28
WhatsApp called Rod Watch. I would
30:31
like either Jack or Mike
30:33
to explain the origins of this
30:35
because I don't actually know what it is,
30:37
but it's just fun and we keep track
30:39
of what Rod Stewart's doing. Well, when we
30:41
looked at the papers, we found that there
30:43
was an unbelievable amount of Rod Stewart in
30:45
the papers. Whoever his press person is is
30:47
so good because they'll just almost
30:50
every other day, if not every day, there
30:52
is a small story about Rod, where's this
30:54
cool blazer or his rod out on the
30:56
street? Or his rod on holiday with his
30:58
family. That's what I like. Rod Stewart heading
31:00
over to Alaska to help hunt rat. The
31:03
wall of Rod, which was when we had physical papers and
31:05
we'd cut them out and we'd stick them on the wall,
31:07
but they had to get taken down because another
31:09
company was setting up in the office and they didn't want
31:11
all these Rod Stewart. Why would they not? I think it
31:13
was actually the structural integrity. There was so much rod on
31:16
the wall. It was a supporting wall
31:18
and Rod was going to bring down the wall,
31:20
like Berlin. We have to give a shout out
31:22
to Danny Carr here, former producer and series producer
31:24
of The Wire Got An ECE, who
31:26
I think made the Rod connection. Even
31:29
in one of his last series handed out Rod
31:31
Stewart calendars to all the team at the end
31:34
of the series. That's great. That's passed on through
31:36
the generations and I'm really enjoying Rod Watch. Do
31:38
you remember we had a cardboard cutout of Rod,
31:40
a life-size one. He came to my wedding.
31:43
Okay, it's time
31:46
for a winner.
31:50
Jack, which story do you think should win
31:52
this week? I would say
31:54
I did really like Mike's story. I was
31:56
a fan of Mike's story. I think Emerald
31:58
I liked the amount of...
