Hello. Welcome back! You're listening to Sorry You Went Viral, the podcast that's all about the stories that have been really blowing up on social media of recent weeks and of course, the people, the human beings behind those stories and the impact it has on them. My name's Hannah Tim, you can see as well, is my co-host here and we are so sorry that we've been away for such a big gap. It feels like we've kind of skipped summer and autumn, and we're kind of sort of headlong head first into winter now. Anyway, we are so sorry, but it's great to be back with you. It is indeed. So we may change the name of the show to Sorry We've Been Away. Not much has happened on social media in the last few months, anyway People might be really grateful, let's face it, you know Probably grateful for a break from us.

But anyway, on today's show:

The power of radio - how social has been loving a son's shout-out on the radio. From DMs to I do. And the clever couple from Cambridge who've been showing love for each other through their in-depth knowledge of each other's PhDs.

First on the show:

Who says you can't have fun while waiting for a train? I love this video so much. Essentially, for those who are, you know, watching and maybe can't see, they were playing a game of charades. Charades. Charades. Let's go with charades. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not that posh... Charades at a train station, overground train station in London. And it was just kind of like off the cuff. Just one people on one side of the train track started playing the game and then the other started playing, joining in as well. Absolutely beautiful, natural, organic, just gorgeousness in London on a Friday night, I think it was. And the person who filmed it was another, you know, train train goer. Train goer? Train user? Passenger. Passenger. There we go. Yeah. So she's presumably also at the end of a, you know, a long, draining week. And we're all a bit fed up with life at the moment. And, you know, the days are getting shorter and it's darker and it's, you know, life's a bit of a grind at times. And Jess filmed this and she absolutely loved it. And then she posted her video, I think she posted it on What did she post it on? Did she post it on? Her Instagram. On her Instagram, but it actually blew up in the end on Twitter, which we'll go into in a second. She entitled her initial video'I love London' , which is great. Yeah. On Twitter. Got picked up by a woman called @L_ren27 who called it"wholesome content on a Friday morning." So I assume it must have been like a Thursday night, and then she saw it and posted it on there. That had nearly 5 million views on Twitter, which is extraordinary. And what I love is some of the comments, the replies to her post. And, you know, someone says, Benjamin Pyzer says, "What a vibe! All we really want to do is connect with each other and play charades." And someone else called Enceladus Media saying"We're pretty fucking awesome when there's no-one to divide us." And that's pretty true. I mean, I'll be honest, I would be a bit awkward, I wouldn't start a game of charades myself, but I'd certainly join in if I saw someone else playing on the other side. You would definitely join in if someone was kind of like,"Come on, come on, let's lighten up this grim Friday morning." I definitely would. Anytime there's a chance of a game or a spotlight that I'm in. But I love the fact some of the replies as well have been a bit cynical as well, like, "Strangers being nice to each other on London public transport. Is this some parallel universe?" Which, you know, to be fair, for the most, the majority of us who do sort of, you know, commute or travel in all the time on Transport for London, they don't necessarily always get a bit of camaraderie and friendliness. But that's, I suppose it's just so lovely to see. Yeah, I wouldn't try that at 8.00am on a Monday morning, to be honest. But you're right, it is lovely. And it was nice as well, Jess did a little follow-up video where she really called for more energy, community in London. Let's show you a little bit of it. Exactly this. And I'm so glad this video has been popping off all today because this kind of energy, we need to be seeing a lot more in London. Come on. We all want it. We all fucking want it. Look at all of the comments. Everyone is just like,"Yes, this is great. It's restored my faith in humanity." Then let's just do it ourselves. We can't just sit around and wait for it to happen. Let's make these moments happen. I can't take any credit of what happened yesterday. I literally walked up to the station. It was already well underway. The game was happening. I think two people on my side of the platform shouted across to the blokes on the other side of the platform, you know, do you want to play? And that's how it started and that's as simple as it is. That's all you fucking need to do. And even immediately after this game of charades yesterday, when, you know, the other platform got on their train and left us lot waiting for our train, you know, we were all chatting to each other. There was a bloke next to me, he had just moved to London. He couldn't have been older than 21. And he was so excited. He was like, "Oh, my God, I've moved to the best city. This is amazing." We had a hug. And this kind of energy, it just like pings about, doesn't it? Everyone feels good after watching this kind of thing, so maybe we should all just try and be a bit more silly. Even this morning, the group that were on the other side of the platform, they actually sent me a message on Instagram saying, "Oh, that's us." And they run this like, wrestling podcast and there's a wrestling event where I think they're like the hypemen, commentators, that kind of thing. And they've invited me to the next event and I'm going next month. I will be there. 2 November in Hackney. I will be there. It's really nice, isn't it, Jess? And I love her energy and enthusiasm for kind of trying to do more good and community spirit in London and look forward to that meet up and hopefully another piece of viral content from them.

Next up on the programme:

We've got an unlikely swing dancing duo. Now, obviously, Strictly is in full swing at the moment and we know that all the celebrities and dancers have been paired together and they're forming all these relationships. But imagine going into a dance contest with someone you don't know and with music you've never heard before as well. That's what happens to this unlikely couple. So this is John Lindo and Victoria Henk, who, as you can guess, as you can see or hear. Well, you can't see, obviously, or you can't hear, rather. You can't hear the dance. You can hear the music anyway, you know what I mean? And that they're pretty good at dancing. The type of dancing that they're doing is swing dancing. It's specifically called West coast swing dancing. And this was filmed, they were in a competition and the video from it was by a TikToker called Affinity Swing. It's run by a guy called Harold Baker. It got 1 million views, which is, like, baffling. But Harold explained in the post random partner, random song competition, and this was from. The competition, was called the Jack and Jill champion or something. So they obviously. I mean, I assume they won. We don't. We don't know. But they were so good. And clearly they don't know each other. They'd never met before. They hadn't practised, they hadn't rehearsed. And it was just like, you know, the power of dance. And if you know what you're doing, if you haven't got two left feet, have you got two left feet? Oh, God, I'm terrible. I mean, the thought of. Oh, God, the thought of dancing in public, the thought of not knowing the song or the partner is probably my worst nightmare. But John is very, very good. I'm not sure if he's professional dancer or. But he knows his stuff. And, you know, I love. On TikTok, there was a comment from a woman called, maybe a man called Ali, I'm not sure, a person called Ali who says, john Lindo, king of dance and king of Riz. I mean, the movements he had, the way he was just be able to move around the dance floor was just astonishing. We did. Lewis and I did a rehearsed dance for our wedding, our first dance. It was a full, kind of like, charleston thing, quick step thing, but it took us forever. So many rehearsals. And then. He's going to kill me for saying this, but he still got it wrong in the actual thing. But, yeah. So the idea of being able to just sort of, like, rock up, go out there and then just perform just because you know how to move your body is. Yeah, completely baffling to me. But I love it. And well done to them. And these affinity swing dance classes for those who are watching and feel like they want to get their feet into gear as well. Then apparently, though, they do run classes. Affinityswing.com, you can find out more there as well. See if you can be just like John and not like me. On to less wholesome and less healthy stories. Yeah. Now, look, we don't need to tell you smoking isn't cool and it's bad for your health, but this guy has really been carving out content creation around his love of cigarettes. Do say so myself. Certainly no complaints on my behalf. Certainly no complaints on my behalf. Now, this guy is called Jacob Jones, or as his account handles are, on his various profiles. JacobFuknJones - missing the 'c', should we say... He dedicates his accounts to his love of smoking. In fact, I first saw him on Twitter where this post, which you can see if you're watching on the video feed, this post of him showing how many cigarette boxes he has in his room, got 8 million views. This is entitled 5,840 Cigarettes, believe it or not. And yeah, it may seem a bit strange, like, 'Why a guy smoking or posting pictures of him smoking cigarettes being so popular?' And I think what's really interesting is that video we showed you is called 'Day drinking and smoking cigarettes in a public park at 3pm on a rainy day'. And there's pretty kind of straightforward, should we say, not exactly, kind of the usual kind of content creation we see on social media, especially on YouTube. And I think what it seems that people just really like the easy, lo-fi content as opposed to all the intense, high production, MrBeast-style screaming, flashing kind of content that just is throughout and floods our feeds, really. It's very honest, isn't it? Very authentic, as you know, unhealthy and unadvisable as it might be. It's very real. And I think it gives people a sense of being, of connection as well, which is in this day and age when, like you say, everything's kind of like overly produced and heavy content side, it's just, this is just simple and a bit crap. But, but good because of that. One comment from @NyVandal says, "This is what YouTube was meant for in its essence, back in the 2000s, before Google bought it. No cringy, annoying influencers advertising crappy products, no cringy effects and certainly no complaints on my behalf, that's for sure." So, yeah, that's the general vibe. It's true. I mean, also, I think Jacob's pretty clever at this. He's got it down to a tee. That video is 40 minutes long, believe it or not. And in a way, I started watching it and I kind of got hooked in a little bit because it's kind of like this very almost ASMR-y style, just easygoing quality to it. We should put in as our Timeline Cleanser! Well, I'm not so sure. Kind of goes against the ethos of it, probably. But there's a comment from a guy called @Renegade4Life and it's got 15,000 likes. His comment alone goes,"Y'all see an unemployed dude? I see a free, unshackled man." You know, it's definitely resonating with people. We should say as well, again, yeah, fully aware the dangers of smoking and Jacob, he's conscious of that, putting disclaimers at the start of his YouTube videos in order not to be banned from YouTube. He basically says,"I don't encourage or condone any products, actions or behaviours shown in this video. Please don't attempt to replicate any actions performed during this video." It's very clear putting the kind of the terms and conditions and the warning beforehand, but still, people kind of accept it and enjoy watching it. Yeah. Now, we teased this at the beginning of the show. So this is a story from DM's to I do, and one woman's tweet has gone viral, showing how she went from getting a DM (a direct message) to an I do or to saying"I do." So this is the tweet itself. Breona Manigat shared this screengrab of direct messages from a stranger two years ago. So the message, initial one, was, "Look, this is random and you're new to my timeline, but I just wanted to let you know that my name is Neh and I wanted to tell you that you're gorgeous." They go on to kind of have a bit of back and forth. Now, that tweet got 41 million views. And then, wonderfully, Breona then shared more on her YouTube. Well, those two are now married two years on, which is wonderful. And they together make content for her YouTube channel. They even did a vlog of his proposal as well. Hence the from DM's to I do the planning for the wedding and the big day as well. So, yeah, a lovely story. And, you know, it just goes to show you never know who you're going to come across on social media. And it doesn't always have to be a negative relationship going forward. What I really like, there's a comment on Twitter from a guy called@Royal_Bobby_24, who says,"From DM's to..." and then shows the, you're being blocked, basically saying you can no longer send DMs to this person. I mean, it's a pretty, pretty bold comment from the guy. His name's Neh. You know, random strangers going, "I think you're gorgeous." I mean, normally that would kind of be warning signs for people. I'm sure if you get messages like that, you'd probably block them as well. Yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely. And not least because I'm married, so. But, yeah, no, I definitely would have done, but I also just think fair play to him. He's not saying anything. He's not saying anything rude. He's just complimenting her. And, you know, we all need different ways to connect with each other these days, and social media seems as good a way as any. And so, yeah, I love the fact that they're, you know, they're now a team. Obviously they got married, but they're also like, you know, producing more content for YouTube and documenting what their relationship is like. So I think it's. It's really nice. It's the kind of content that people clearly want to see. Yeah. And I think it's kind of, it's an interesting, you know, Twitter gets a bad rap, understandably, for lots of reasons, but showing there is some good sides to Twitter still. And, yeah, I think it's just kind of. It's pretty, pretty cool. 41 million views of that. I think it's pretty, pretty astounding, to be honest. But, yeah, good luck to them for the future. Next. Now this is another viral story of love, this time from a very clever couple from Cambridge University who show their love for each other with their in depth knowledge of each other's PhDs. So this is Will and Harum, who are both collecting their PhDs at Cambridge University. The video of them talking so, so lovingly and in such an in depth way about the other's thesis went viral after a simple video made by Cambridge University was then posted on TikTok. It had 4 million views there. And the comments on this are wonderful as well. Sisi Amah shared on Twitter, I think. Oh, no, she shared. Sorry. She shared the Cambridge University TikTok of the video on Twitter. That alone then got 7 million views. But then some of the comments are like, "They are in totally different and very unrelated fields, but you can tell they genuinely learned about it, regardless. This is the style that'll have you bouncing your head every Sunday morning." And I think it's wonderful. They don't actually, if you break it down, they don't clearly know every single detail about each other's thesis. That would be absurd. But they. I was pretty impressed. Yeah. They've taken the time to really understand because, you know, you do a PhD, that takes over your whole life, I'm sure, I've never done one. But then to have someone, your partner, to have someone who kind of knows how much time has gone into it and really appreciates that, and has taken the time to not only listen, but to also try and understand, presumably, what it is you're doing as well. It's quite niche areas as well that they're both in. So, yeah, really lovely. And you can just see from their body language as well, just that they're really enjoying hearing the other talk about the biggest thing in their life right now. They really appreciate each other. So it's a very heartwarming video to see, which I wonder whether Cambridge Uni even knew that that was going to be the impact of this one video. Certainly some of the comments, rather, "If I apply for a PhD at Cambridge, will I also meet my soulmate?" You wonder whether Cambridge have come up with a response to that. Like a good way of getting more people to apply. I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. They mean, you know, fair play to them. They've certainly capitalised upon this fantastic story, whether they stumbled upon it or not, because in their TikTok they have put details of their postgraduate courses as well. I mean, great recruitment tool for them. I love some of the comments. There's @Its_eeps saying,"This is the most romantic exchange I've ever seen." Angie M saying,"The conversations in that house must be phenomenal." And then also, I found this quite funny from@BGM going,"OMG, they remind me of Benaiah and Nicole from Love is Blind UK. Such beautiful interaction." Now, I don't know necessarily the levels of intelligence are the same, from the two, but, yeah, the body language, how they're looking at each other is lovely. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if you try to film my partner Carolyn and I asking about each other's day or what we'd be doing. I'm not sure we get the same kind of reaction. I don't know about you and Lewis. Well, we have the benefit of having met at journalism school and both having done the same job. He's doing it now as a newsreader. I'm not doing it so much now, so I do actually think that I probably could talk in-depth, probably, about what Lewis does day to day. I don't think he'd be able to say the same about me so much now, but, yeah, I don't know whether we'd also kind of be gazing into each other's eyes and sort of quite so appreciative of the other's knowledge of, you know, the daily grind. I think it's absolutely lovely, though. I think it's, yeah, truly inspiring. Very, you know, intelligent, really intelligent people going on to just some amazing things. I was looking at their websites, their bios, because we tried to get in contact with them to see if they want to come in on the show. Incredibly intelligent people, so lovely as well. Clearly lovely people, and wish them all the best for the future.

Now on the show:

it's What It's Like To Go Viral. And the power of radio. First up, we've had a lovely request coming from Darren Izzard. He says, "We're celebrating our eldest Benjamin's 9th birthday today. We've got tickets to see Imagine Dragons next summer, which will be his first proper gig." And this is so lovely, Darren says."For context, when I bagged Oasis tickets last week, he said,'So, daddy, is Oasis to you what Imagine Dragons is to me?' And I guess he's kind of right." He says, "Can I get a happy birthday to Benjamin, please? And an Imagine Dragons track." Of course you can. Happy birthday to Benjamin. Imagine Dragons. Coming right up. That, as you see, was Ben, whose day was made, day, probably week, year, was made by a shout-out on Absolute Radio by his dad, Darren, who I'm delighted to say is joining us now. Darren, could you tell us exactly, kind of, how this all came about? Well, pretty much as the clip plays out, you know, Sarah puts it perfectly, really, birthday gift. The announcement of the Imagine Dragons tour came about and it just led on from something that Benjamin had said the week before. And initially we were just going to hand him a card with the tickets in and I suggested, well, let's reach out to Absolute Radio because Sarah normally puts something out on a Thursday or Friday asking, "What are you doing for this weekend?" And it just kind of went from there, really, on Instagram. And I messaged Sarah and gave her the spiel, obviously didn't quite have the space to put the amount of characters in. So I did message saying,"Oh, look I've DM'd", and pretty much word for word. And it kind of went from there, really. And the actual reaction from it was pretty mad, to be honest. I mean, yeah, I wouldn't say got out of hand, but it took Benj by surprise, as it did me and Mum as well. Yeah. It was so wonderful. And Sarah, who you're talking about, is the DJ, right? Sarah Champion? Yeah, Sarah Champion, yeah. And I know that she commented on the video afterwards, after seeing it saying,"So rare that we get to see the reaction, let alone such a lovely one. Really special. Made my weekend that!" And you made so many other people's weekends as well with it because it's got so many views. Did you expect that it was going to, if you posted it, that it was going to blow up? No, not at all. I mean, when Sarah very kindly asked, "Would we mind that being shared?", Benj was okay with it. He was okay to start with. He was like, "Yeah, that's fine." But then a couple of days later, I think a little bit of self-doubt crept in because it obviously got quite a bit of traction very quickly. And I did say to him, I said, "Look, the genie's out of the bottle now. It's already sort of, it's out there. So there's not, you know, not much more we can do with it." And, and the beauty of it was that, I mean, as I'm sure you guys will know, doing what you guys do, social media, the comments generally tend to err on the side of being a little bit more on the negative and a bit on that toxicity can creep in. But it was just so heartwarming, the lovely responses. It was kind, it was generous, it was mostly heartfelt. There was one or two jokey comments about the dog and things like that. But generally speaking, me and Catherine, Benjamin's mum, we were really sort of, sort of taken aback by it because you don't necessarily expect that with social media now. And I think that was hard for him to compute initially. And then it kind of crept and then he was saying, "Well, what if it gets to a million views?" But again, it's unquantifiable numbers, really, in the grand scheme of things. But he's like a lot of kids are now he's familiar because it's MrBeast and all the YouTubers, I think. So he's familiar with that sort of scale. When his little brother Jacob, again, another character in all this that's been forgotten a little bit, he was kind of asking, "So, will you get to meet MrBeast and Elon Musk?" And I'm like, "Well, I'm not sure it's quite that it's not at that level!" But, it's, yeah, it's been something of a talking point in the household. I mean, the lovely thing about it has been as well that, I mean, Absolute Radio is pretty much the station in the car at home. So when Matt Dyson shared Sarah's tweet as well. Oh, really? Benj was quite thrown by that because Matt's a voice that we hear in the car on the school run every morning, so that kind of resonated with him even more. And then obviously Ben Burrell as well. So pretty much all the daytime DJs are people that the boys are familiar with, you know, so in one way, shape or form. So, yeah, it's been, it's been, yeah, it's mad. Sorry, go on, sorry. You've got a ontent creator on your hands now for the future, which is great. And potentially also someone who's going to go, you know, a kid who's going to go make waves in commercial radio as well. I mean, it's amazing to me that commercial radio is just flying the way it is at the moment and that the younger generation are kind of like as into it as clearly your kids are. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I could honestly say nowadays, bar one or two of the streaming services, I think radio is probably the most predominant medium that's in our household at the minute The boys, music wise, I did expect one or two comments about Imagine Dragons because again, you know, they're quite pop poppy rock type stuff. Jamie East, another broadcaster, shared it and he made a bit of a dig about, "I'd be crying too if I got Imagine Dragons tickets." But again, from my point of view, I've always really liked Jamie's work, so that, that was quite nice from a personal point of view. And he did, I did message him and say, "Oi, that's my boy, that is." But, yeah, I mean, he's, yeah, he's very sort of as a lot of kids are now, he's, you know, he's into his YouTube and, you know, he watches a lot of sort of when he was a little, you know, Ryan's World when he was a little bit smaller and he's kind of started to. But that's how a lot of stuff's consumed now, isn't it? Yeah. I don't know how old, if you don't mind asking how old Benj is at the moment? He's nine now. Yeah, he's nine. So he's like, you know, with friends at school is one thing, but then obviously seeing just, you know, as you said, like the genie out of the bottle, but, yeah, lots of different people he'd never known of commenting, it must be quite overwhelming, I guess, for him as well. I think that's, I think that's where he got a little bit, because he said to us, "Maybe we should have kept that for just us", you know, that they were the words that he kind of. But it was, the horse had bolted at that point that was kind of, sort of, it was out there, so. But the most pleased thing I was, the following weekend, we kind of had a belated sort of birthday celebration with some friends, he had a sleepover with a couple of friends and he was really happy to show them. And despite it showing a bit of vulnerability on his part, he was happy for them to see that. And I thought he'd be a little bit cool about it and not want to sort of show his friends, but he was more than happy with it. And, yeah, I mean, I saw lots of people in the comments as well, sort of tagging the band in, and I was like, who knows if they ever saw it. Who knows? Who knows? You have to explain about the dog as well. You said at the beginning that you got a couple of comments. Yeah, so a lot of. So, well, the dog, Bob, he's just asleep in the hallway at the minute just to my right. So a lot of people watched it without audio. Now, if you watch that without audio is literally just an ecstatic-looking child. Probably looks a little bit angsty, starts crying. He's looking at a dog and reacts accordingly. And I think one or two suggested that the dog had broke wind and things like that. But once it got to a point with so many comments, I mean, that first two or three days, we kind of just like, we're just looking to see. Because two things that jumped out

at me initially were:

I expected him to get a little bit of stick for the football shirt he's wearing and also for it being Imagine Dragons because again it's just a sort of polarising thing, football and music. And it didn't happen, you know, it was just. Everyone was just really, really positive towards it which, you know, we didn't expect. I mean it's one of those things where you keep it, it's for yourselves and for Sarah and obviously Sarah shared it and I mean I don't think, as much as I appreciate the works of the DJs at Absolute, I don't think that message could have been delivered any more concisely with the cadence, the delivery, the empathy and all that sort of stuff. I think Sarah did an amazing job of just putting that message across. And Benj again completely his reaction as you saw. We're so grateful to you for talking to us, explaining the whole backstory and the impact had on your son, on you, the whole family, the dog, you know, we can hear him in the back. That's because the post lady has just walked by and he's got a bit of a love-hate relationship with the postal service. Don't we all? It's been so, so lovely to chat to you and then we hope that Benj has had a brilliant 9th birthday and keep up the good work with Absolute Radio and all of the shout-outs that you're doing there, not just for him but you've got another child as well, is that right? Yeah, we've got Jacob, he's six, so yeah, I mean like I say, Jacob's kind of, he's going to the gig as well. So me, mum, Benjamin and Jacob, we're all going down to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. You're going to have to share the love out a bit here with the shout-outs. 100%. I mean, but I mean the reality is the major credit really needs to go to Sarah Champion because it was just special. And also bizarrely Emil Franchi referenced it the weekend before last again as well so we would just happen to be driving at the time. And then he mentioned it and my wife reached over to the radio to turn it up and I was like. "What's happened? What's happened?" And then Emil Franchi re-referenced it, And he played an Imagine Dragons song as well. So it keeps, keeps going, it keeps going. You'll never have Absolute Radio go off in your house, It'll be on 24 hours a day. Yeah, they do, the boys, the boys do like their music. So that's something I'm really keen on. I'm really keen that I'm, I'm glad that they, they kind of embrace that medium a bit more than others. I completely agree. And as someone who, throughout my daughter's childhood so far, she has been got the odd shout-out. Unfortunately, she started singing the jingles of Magic, another Bauer station, so I can empathise. I can't beat that. That is something to get a shout-out and a song played and getting that reaction, something I won't be able to do, be able to match that. It couldn't have gone better. Couldn't have gone better. To be fair. I think it's just brilliant. It's because it's so memorable, you're saying about how the other DJs keep on recalling it and people commenting, because it's just, it's so powerful. It's something that I'm sure, you know, when I was a kid, that's the thing I would love and it's still now. And you can't beat that on Spotify or Apple Music. Yeah, completely. I mean, when I was about 15, there was an old commercial station locally, Leicester Sound, which changed to Capital in later years. And I entered the competition and I won a Supergrass CD or something like that. And just little things that kind of stick with you and I and just that kind of thing really just those kind of things live forever and it's just a massive memory that's going to, we'll talk about for years I'll have to up my radio game with my son, for sure. Darren, it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much. No, that's great. Thank you, Hannah. Thank you, Tim. Thanks, Darren. Cheers, bye. And finally on the show, the Timeline Cleanser and this Aussie band, or this musician, I should say, went viral for playing a gig in a care home. What a lovely little video That is a guy called Tim Nelson from a band called Cub Sport. He posted that video on TikTok and he entitled it saying,"Singing Diet Pepsi for my 102 year old Nana and her friends." And that got 4 million views on TikTok. Now I admit, I think you probably admit as well, you may not know Diet Pepsi or who sang it originally. It's a woman called Addison Rae, who's very popular with young people. With the young folk. Yes, it's racy, quite raunchy some of the lyrics, he's got a captive audience, unsurprisingly. And it's just gorgeous. And someone on TikTok replied, saying, "Not a cell phone in sight, just people living in the moment." That was actually TikTok themselves who replied. Oh, it was TikTok! Okay, brilliant. And then on Instagram as well. Quarter of a million views, 45,000 likes. Other comments from people saying."The teaspoon clanking in the background, obsessed with this." And then a very long post from@Miss_Bec_Wilkinson, who just said, "I hope you continue these musical visits. I used to take our kindergarten class to the nursing home and sing songs and play games and do art and things like that. The residents that had seemingly given up on life were smiling and interacting again. Those people are still themselves. Their bodies have just failed them. They deserve love, respect and all the good things. I'm sure your nana would be bragging about you to all her friends. And yeah, I mean, what a wonderful thing to do. Cost nothing, just giving up a little bit of your time. And it was just lovely and lovely for all of us to see as well. So I'm pleased that it was shared. Absolutely lovely. And maybe we can go and do some swing dancing, Hannah, together at a care home. I'm not sure how entertaining or relaxing that would be for anyone in the audience you might have, but yes, I'm definitely, as I said, show me a stage. And I'm always game. So, yeah, we could do maybe a live recording of Sorry You Went Viral in front of a care home maybe, or maybe not. Anyway, on that note, that finishes today's show.
