He chooses 800 metres, sets off too fast, and nearly gets lapped in a two-lap race.

1. Hot Water’s Green Room Podcast #219 with Rob Thomas circles around tour dates, old pub hustles, and the kind of domestic chaos the hosts treat as normal. 2. Tony, Jamie, and Rob Thomas are the main voices, with Jamie pushing tour promotion, Tony steering the banter, and Rob Thomas trading stories as the guest. 3. The episode asks what happens when three comics turn money, masculinity, and daily life into a long pub conversation. 4. Jamie opens by plugging a 2026 UK and Ireland tour starting at Leicester Square Theatre in London and ending at the O2 Apollo in Manchester. 5. The hosts then move to a Hot Water Patreon pitch, with £3 monthly access, two bonus episodes each week, and £5 off live tickets for members. 6. They joke about a rival “pod wars” show, a last live show that “won’t let it come out,” and the idea that time needs to pass before anyone sees it. 7. The conversation turns into memories of DVDs, Lucas Aides, black-market-selling in pubs, and a time when people bought meat, ciggies, vodka, and even Burger King burgers through informal local networks. 8. The hosts also talk about pitch and toss, including a school version, a bigger Aintree version, and a £20-a-go round outside the toilets. 9. Jamie describes a day at the races where he had no money to put in his account, then watched a winner land and made himself look like he had backed it. 10. The episode later shifts to a long running joke about weight, gyms, Olympic sports, and what each of them could or could not physically do. 11. Jamie says he is too scared to go and get a dumbbell because “there’s real men there,” which becomes part of the masculinity joke. 12. Rob says he cannot do horse riding because he is too big, and the hosts list other things blocked by weight limits, including abseiling and jumping out of a plane. 13. Rob’s 800-metre story from school stands out because he chose middle distance, thought he had pace, and nearly got lapped on the second lap. 14. They also discuss Olympic betting and the idea that athletes like a Swedish pole vaulter can keep adding a little bit and collect money for breaking records. 15. The conversation gets especially blunt when weight-loss injections come up, with Mounjaro changing to Wegovy and one of the hosts saying he “shit myself.” 16. That story continues into a rush to the toilet, a front door left open, and a wife asking questions while he wants to be left alone. 17. The tone is fast, teasing, and highly conversational, with frequent interruptions, short punchlines, and repeated callbacks to money and embarrassment. 18. The format stays loose and comic rather than structured, with the guest and hosts bouncing between sports, food, house jobs, and old scams without formal transitions. 19. Listeners who like Liverpool-leaning comic banter and betting stories will likely enjoy this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tidy, topic-specific interview may skip it.
