Lee and Simon talk about imagining bad things as a way to not do them, Coldplay at Glastonbury, and human beings singing together.

Things they discuss: Midlifing show titles, the desire or feeling to jump or fall off heights, the meaning of al fresco, being sucked off a balcony, thinking through the possibilities of a fall or jump, someone walking over your grave, airing out Lee's flat in Portugal, hanging out washing on the edge of a building, rehearsing the anxiety of falling, a baby on a balcony, going to the internet for a response, imagining terrible terrible things (like stamping on a chihuahua), Wikipedia-level study, such feelings getting stronger with age, Edward S. Casey's book "Imagining", imagining the catastrophe, staying safe, Lee's Chris Martin shoulders, Coldplay at Glastonbury, non playable characters (NPC), a celebration of togetherness, Coldplay being just this side of irritating, human beings singing together, Paul McCartney vs Coldplay, YouTuber with microbakery who can't bake, middle-aged men cycling and hobbies.
