This episode is with one of the most physically extraordinary guests I’ve ever had - elite crossfitter, Lucy Campbell. If you don’t know what crossfit is it’s the type of PE I’ve been doing for the last two years and it’s about weightlifting, gymnastics, mobility and fitness. It gets you in the everything basically but the focus is on functional performance, there are no mirrors, for me I’ve found an incredible community including a new set of real life actual friends. Anyway - once a year there’s a competition that anyone can enter called ‘the open’ and then it’s whittled down to the most insanely fit and strong few people in the whole world and they go and compete in Madison, Wisconsin at The Crossfit Games. A 5 days mega competition where all the events are secret even until the last minute. Now - Lucy made it to the games this year as a rookie and has just, this August, been crowned the 16th FITTEST WOMAN IN THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD> She’s a baby but competing with giants and she still managed to actually WIN 2 whole events even. She is: INCREDIBLE. Anyway - she’s based in Nottingham and today’s hoovering is with her. Lucky lucky lucky lucky us.

This week I’m hoovering with my dear mate, the absolutely astounding comedian and feminist icon frankly, Bridget Christie. I caught her before she goes on a brand new tour of ‘Who Am I?’ And we went for one of the loveliest brunches I’ve ever bloody had actually at Ziggy Green in Piccadilly. Stuff of absolute dreams please. 

Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.

Things we mentioned that you might be interested in from this podcast include…

We wolfed this breakfast of champions at ZIGGY GREEN. Fuck it was good. 

The podcast I suddenly remembered was called YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT and it was THIS EPISODE about the ‘President’s Physical Fitness Test’

Bridget had the HAYNES MANUAL to babies.

And I’m sorry but I didn’t want you to have ever read this far without having a nice lovely look at a PRET MACARONI CHEESE and then imagine eating that standing on a very busy underground train. What a waste.
