Sam meanwhile is braising some lamb necks, schooling James on ancient farming techniques and helping the aged by giving them his old clothes. The TickyOff Two are considering opening an ice cream shop, reminiscing about an old character from the early days of Pidgin and also wondering about how cool Burial and heroin actually are. Then an old friend of Sam\u2019s arrives. Paul Wilson is a semi-big shot in the Wagamama empire and he\u2019s here to talk lockdown and reopening for a large restaurant chain. We often have independent operators on the pod and we thought it worthwhile to get a take from someone who operates from deep within a vast and probably evil corporate behemoth. JOKE! Oh and also, Paul played bass in Hope Of The States so he\u2019s perfectly placed to reveal all about playing Guitar Hero on a tourbus and letting everyone know just how much of a nightmare it was to be in a band with Sam. There\u2019s also time for inclusion in hiring chat, \u2018hail fellow well met\u2019 discussion and hash brownies at the Tower of London yap.
