In this bonus episode, Matt Calver returns with his five brilliant things—from the joy of international flights to the quiet satisfaction of sharp kitchen knives, clutter-free living, perfect bedding, and, of course, cheese. What starts as a simple list turns into a funny, thoughtful look at comfort, gratitude, and the small details that make everyday life better. Expect British humour, relatable habits, and plenty of “that is so true” moments.

In this episode, I sit down with my mate Al to talk about one of the strangest things he’s ever done: pretending to be a member of ABBA on stage in front of thousands of people in Tahiti. Al had never sung on stage before, but he somehow ended up wearing a wig, putting on a Swedish accent, and performing in an ABBA tribute show in front of crowds of up to 3,000 people. We talk honestly about stage nerves, confidence, embarrassment, and what it’s like to perform far outside your comfort zone.
