No phones, no swearing, no music, and almost no photos of the man himself.</p><p><br></p><p>He shut one pub because a customer swore and another because the kitchen wouldn&#39;t make his favourite chocolate fondant. When floods split Tadcaster in two, he wouldn&#39;t let the temporary road bridge go up on his land.</p><p><br></p><p>Also this week: food scanning apps that say everything will kill you, a family of peas used as emotional blackmail, a Christmas dinner that is three courses of sausage, and why Celebrity Traitors is now the Champions League final for anyone in their mid 30s.</p><p><br></p><p>Find Alex on Instagram: @runfatdadpod</p><p><br></p><p>The Depressed CEO Podcast, new episodes every week.</p><p><br></p><p>-------------</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.
