College football is back, so Hilton called on me, the superstition concierge, to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky.

Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching band wake up call at 555 and 55 seconds. Hit it!

When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for this day.

SPEAKER_2 (2:00)

And Rob Beckett.

Josh Widdicombe (2:03)

Good one.

It's a good one, isn't it?

Rob Beckett (2:14)

Beckett. There we go.

SPEAKER_1 (2:15)

There we go.

Rob Beckett (2:16)

Is that Josh?

Josh Widdicombe (2:16)

Hi, Rob and Josh. That's Rob. In two and a half years old, 136 weeks.

I'm sending take two. After we stopped recording take one, she made a little song based on your name, so I thought you'd enjoy it. We live on a boat in the Grand Union Canal. I'm from Cambridge. What the?

Rob Beckett (2:30)

I've just had a phantom, and I'm sitting on an orca. For the people watching, I've sat on an orca dangle, and I've had some sour creams and crisps, sorry.

Josh Widdicombe (2:41)

I want a boat on the Grand Union Canal. I'm from Cambridge. If Rob is guessing today from Jasmine, 1889 weeks.

Why are you sat like this, Rob?

Rob Beckett (2:49)

Because we've got a very special guest today, and this is appropriate.

Josh Widdicombe (2:52)

Yes, Nina Conti, who you might know as Ventriloquist. Check out how we're sitting in the visualized form of this podcast.

Rob Beckett (2:58)

I'm being the monkey.

Josh Widdicombe (3:00)

Yes. Here's Nina Conti.

Rob Beckett (3:06)

Nina Conti, welcome to the show. Checking out the camera. We're on cameras. We're being filmed. Look at that.

Nina Conti (3:10)

I can't, though. I'm being so stupid. All I'll see when I turn is the back of my head.

Rob Beckett (3:14)

Well, don't look at the screen. You look at ours. Josh is distracting because he had his hair cut. I didn't even know his hair was just a bit short on the sides.

It's a good haircut. Are you happy?

Josh Widdicombe (3:24)

I am happy. Yeah, I play with it too much when I've had it cut, so it looks bad. How are you?

Nina Conti (3:28)

I'm well.

Rob Beckett (3:29)

How far away does your hairdresser live from you?

Nina Conti (3:31)

It's actually about 20 steps. Is it?

Rob Beckett (3:34)

Oh, wow. Couldn't be more opposite.
