Hello, my finest friends. Thanks for listening to my podcasts. We haven't got any live podcasts until next year where we're doing four at the Les Square Theatre and one at the Y Theatre in Leicester in the spring. Go to richetheny.com slash Rahalyspah. You want to buy tickets for those. But also please go and buy tickets for the second leg of my one balled tour. Can I have my ballback,

which is touring the UK, taking in lots of places I didn't play before and a few places I did

play before. Richard Herring.com slash ballback slash tour. We'll give you all the dates.

So Birmingham date has just been added. There might be a couple more added in as well. So do keep your eye on that. It's the perfect Christmas gift, probably for you to come and see that show.

So get tickets, get tickets for your friends. Ask your mum and dad or guardian or parent or grandma or brother or sister, whoever, to buy your tickets for Christmas.

Get everyone to buy your tickets. I don't mind.

If you end up with 15 tickets for each show, that would be quite helpful for me.

Anyway, sit back, relax and enjoy another Richard Herring podcast.

This message is a paid partnership with Apple Pay. Now, I don't know about you, but I really love doing all my shopping for the holidays online.

It's easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

And Apple Pay makes it a total breeze, especially during the festive season, when I'm trying to snag all those perfect gifts without having to leave my sofa.

No more going through those endless checkout forms, no more searching for credit

cards. It's so fast, so seamless. You know, it feels like I've got my own personal shopping assistant.

But it's not just about speed. Apple Pay is designed to be secure, which is a huge relief,

especially in today's world. It's the convenience I want with the peace of mind I need,

meaning I can just focus on the shopping and leave the checkout to Apple Pay. So this season,

do what I do, shop online and pay the Apple way. It's really that simple.

Hello there, I am delighted to be talking to you about Octopus Energy. They're the energy provider

that I personally use, and I've been very impressed by both the service and the ethos of the company,

which I think is a real cause for optimism. Amazingly, they are developing zero bills homes.

What? Built to certain guidelines using smart meters of green tech

that will guarantee that energy bills will cost nought pounds a month for a minimum of five years.
