WEBVTT

00:01.733 --> 00:02.915
to myself.

00:03.395 --> 00:08.742
But now it's Adam and Jo.

00:10.444 --> 00:12.867
Hello and welcome to the big British castle.

00:25.126 --> 00:25.947
That's Prince!

00:27.308 --> 00:27.989
What are you chuckling at?

00:28.009 --> 00:28.570
Are you chuckling at Prince?

00:28.590 --> 00:43.445
Because, um, listeners today we've got a new producer, not a new producer, in fact a gentleman we worked with years ago called Ben, he's very brilliant, but just before we came on there he started doing a kind of thing as if we were in aliens and on the dropship going down to the alien planet.

00:43.686 --> 00:44.567
Okay, okay, mic's up!

00:44.747 --> 00:45.548
Get ready, three seconds!

00:45.748 --> 00:46.569
Stand by, mic's up!

00:47.249 --> 00:50.573
As if it was like, you know, a moment of critical importance.

00:51.133 --> 00:52.915
As if it was like broadcast news.

00:52.975 --> 00:53.315
Yeah.

00:53.516 --> 00:55.578
Your Holly Hunter and I. As if we were William Hurt.

00:55.618 --> 00:59.141
Professional and we really cared profoundly, which we do, obviously.

00:59.221 --> 00:59.441
Yeah.

00:59.742 --> 01:01.523
But we like to... Well, we care profoundly.

01:01.543 --> 01:02.945
I wouldn't say that we're professional.

01:02.985 --> 01:04.206
No, no, no, that's true.

01:04.767 --> 01:04.927
So...

01:05.387 --> 01:06.388
Anyway, morning listeners.

01:06.629 --> 01:07.189
Hey, how are you doing?

01:07.210 --> 01:07.710
This is Adam.

01:07.970 --> 01:08.691
Hey, this is Joe.

01:08.751 --> 01:09.552
Thanks for joining us.

01:09.973 --> 01:11.936
I've got a new idea for a segment.

01:12.256 --> 01:12.636
Have you?

01:12.656 --> 01:14.499
Yeah, it would be this.

01:14.559 --> 01:20.647
It's a bit like, you know, on GMTV when they would send Keith Chegwin out to doorstep people first thing in the morning.

01:21.047 --> 01:22.108
Was it on GMTV?

01:22.268 --> 01:22.788
Something like that.

01:22.828 --> 01:24.169
It was on one of those breakfast shows.

01:24.189 --> 01:25.590
Big breakfast, maybe you're right.

01:26.210 --> 01:30.553
I thought maybe I could present the show from in a listener's bed.

01:30.953 --> 01:31.854
That's a nice idea.

01:31.974 --> 01:33.254
Would you get to choose the listener?

01:33.375 --> 01:33.595
Yeah.

01:33.815 --> 01:35.876
They would send in photographs and you would vet them.

01:35.916 --> 01:36.156
Yeah.

01:36.356 --> 01:37.337
And you would basically sleep.

01:37.657 --> 01:39.098
I would go round there on Friday.

01:39.118 --> 01:40.119
No, I would sleep with them.

01:40.139 --> 01:41.700
You'd sleep with them.

01:41.940 --> 01:43.781
But in the, you know, not in the dirty sense.

01:43.881 --> 01:44.721
No, in the strictest sense.

01:44.741 --> 01:45.562
Unless they were lucky.

01:45.862 --> 01:47.163
Yeah, so you're really lucky.

01:47.463 --> 01:54.747
Uh, but I'd go around there on Friday night and we'd watch Telly, you know, we'd watch Jonathan Ross, then a bit of later, and we'd have a hot toddy.

01:54.968 --> 01:56.849
Would you do your Jules Holland impression for them?

01:57.169 --> 01:58.310
Yeah, I'd do whatever they wanted.

01:58.510 --> 01:58.810
Yeah.

01:58.970 --> 02:00.251
And then I'd get into bed with them.

02:00.331 --> 02:02.192
Oh, that is hot toddy, ladies and gentlemen, hot toddy.

02:03.086 --> 02:04.586
cut to the beginning of the show.

02:05.067 --> 02:07.347
I'd get into bed with them and then we'd sleep together.

02:08.047 --> 02:10.088
And then the alarm would go off about 10 to 9.

02:10.268 --> 02:11.568
Oh, that would be nice.

02:12.208 --> 02:13.969
And then you'd have to be in here.

02:14.009 --> 02:14.469
You'd get up.

02:14.509 --> 02:16.770
You'd have to come in, do all the business.

02:17.210 --> 02:19.070
I'd just be in bed nude.

02:19.150 --> 02:20.491
I would be nude with the listeners.

02:20.871 --> 02:24.432
And then I'd do the show from my mobile phone over my mobile phone.

02:24.812 --> 02:25.232
That's brilliant.

02:25.252 --> 02:27.693
You've thought it all through and you're entirely comfortable about all this.

02:27.713 --> 02:28.913
You don't think it's weird at all.

02:30.293 --> 02:31.394
I don't think it's weird.

02:31.434 --> 02:33.655
And you don't think the listeners would feel it was strange?

02:33.715 --> 02:34.155
I don't know.

02:34.195 --> 02:35.335
We'll see what their response is.

02:35.375 --> 02:38.496
I mean, maybe we can set it up for next week or the week after.

02:38.596 --> 02:42.998
I think it would be very innovative and I think it would get us awards.

02:43.258 --> 02:53.222
And you're not concerned that maybe there's some kind of big British castle guideline about having like a naked man in the bed of a stranger.

02:53.962 --> 02:55.843
Well, possibly, but I think it could be overcome.

02:56.363 --> 02:56.543
Right.

02:57.143 --> 03:00.184
I think public opinion would soon demolish that prejudice.

03:00.364 --> 03:01.304
That's a good idea.

03:01.484 --> 03:02.225
It's just an idea.

03:02.265 --> 03:03.205
I just thought I'd float it.

03:03.525 --> 03:04.045
Oh, thank you.

03:04.085 --> 03:04.945
It's a lovely floater.

03:05.886 --> 03:07.426
Have you got a command for Black Squadron?

03:07.566 --> 03:08.406
You know what I do?

03:08.426 --> 03:09.407
Oh, excellent.

03:10.087 --> 03:11.327
I've got a choice of commands.

03:11.387 --> 03:13.108
Okay, I know which one I think this is.

03:13.128 --> 03:14.988
Still haven't come up with a new Jingle Black Squadron.

03:15.008 --> 03:19.770
I'm working on it, but the other jingles are just so irritating that we're not even going to play them this week, right?

03:19.790 --> 03:20.550
You have to imagine them.

03:21.611 --> 03:27.217
So, Black Squadron, you are stood to attention, ready to receive your command from Admiral Cornballs.

03:27.457 --> 03:30.080
This is of course a photo challenge, Black Squadron.

03:30.100 --> 03:33.765
We challenge you to take a photo on the following theme and email it to us.

03:34.145 --> 03:35.386
What's the email number, Adam?

03:36.147 --> 03:37.508
Adam and... No, no.

03:37.548 --> 03:39.109
What's the text number, Adam?

03:39.129 --> 03:39.109
64046.

03:40.450 --> 03:40.731
Yeah.

03:40.831 --> 03:42.252
What's the email address?

03:42.372 --> 03:50.098
Email address Adamandjo.6musicatbbc.co.uk Yeah, there's no prize.

03:50.138 --> 03:51.219
It's not a competition.

03:51.259 --> 03:51.439
No.

03:51.779 --> 03:52.540
Just a fun event.

03:53.160 --> 03:54.321
So stand by Black Squadron.

03:54.722 --> 03:59.427
You have the duration of the following record to carry out your command and send in your photo.

03:59.788 --> 04:00.549
Your theme this week.

04:00.569 --> 04:01.049
Are we ready then?

04:01.770 --> 04:08.978
Incidentally, as soon as Joe issues the command, we are going to fire off 11th Dimension, the new single by Julian Casablancas of the strokes.

04:09.299 --> 04:11.982
But here now is the Black Squadron command.

04:12.262 --> 04:35.213
standby black squadron your command this week is toast bracelets i think we might have confused black squadron by not playing them they're jingle you reckon yeah i think it's a bit like the manchurian candidate they need oh look at that no here's a very good one from kate bolting that's an extraordinary very good toast bracelets that one's even got jam on it and they're saluting now that's good i was worried there

04:35.973 --> 04:38.795
There's a gentleman in what looks like his two children there.

04:38.855 --> 04:39.775
That's extraordinary.

04:40.276 --> 04:43.278
Very, very good performance there from the building squadron.

04:43.818 --> 04:44.158
Very good.

04:44.458 --> 04:47.540
And have last week's Black Squadron photos been put on the blog?

04:47.760 --> 04:48.381
They have, yeah.

04:48.421 --> 04:53.364
If you want to see the Black Squadron gallery, you can go... It's not on our blog, is it?

04:53.404 --> 04:56.166
I think it's on the original Six Music Adam and Jo website.

04:56.186 --> 04:57.346
But there's a link from the blog.

04:57.366 --> 04:58.707
There's a link from the blog, yeah.

04:58.767 --> 04:59.528
And it's extraordinary.

04:59.568 --> 05:00.768
There's so many of them.

05:00.788 --> 05:01.469
About 124.

05:02.109 --> 05:02.830
Incredible.

05:03.270 --> 05:04.331
What was last week's command?

05:04.371 --> 05:04.711
I forget.

05:05.591 --> 05:06.412
Was it poltergeist?

05:06.432 --> 05:07.392
No, that was the week before.

05:07.592 --> 05:09.753
It was closed backwards.

05:09.813 --> 05:10.614
Backwards closed.

05:10.654 --> 05:11.014
That's right.

05:11.034 --> 05:11.674
It was a good one.

05:11.734 --> 05:12.314
It was a good one.

05:12.334 --> 05:13.635
And there's some amazing photos.

05:13.675 --> 05:15.055
When are we going to do just nudity?

05:15.576 --> 05:16.536
We're building up to that.

05:16.596 --> 05:17.156
Yeah.

05:17.216 --> 05:20.518
The final week of our tenure on six musics.

05:20.878 --> 05:26.641
When we get other jobs or decide to leave, we're going to do a really shocking black squadron.

05:26.721 --> 05:27.121
Come on.

05:28.082 --> 05:30.124
And for which we'll get instantly fired.

05:30.264 --> 05:30.745
That's right.

05:30.885 --> 05:34.329
But we will amass a massive collection of very strong photographs.

05:34.349 --> 05:36.472
Get these sick jocks off the air.

05:38.574 --> 05:39.435
That's what's going to happen.

05:39.856 --> 05:46.223
I mean, what would be the word we could say for the Black Squadron command that would instantly get us fired?

05:46.824 --> 06:15.100
cover of all the national newspapers some kind of no don't say anything domestic animal well listen have you seen how are you on virals do you like getting virals when people send you virals the one i've enjoyed this week is the clip from Roland Emmerich's forthcoming twin film 2012 oh yeah there's a 10-minute extraordinary 10-minute clip of that online with all disaster stuff and someone's taken out all the disaster footage so it's just the acting and it's very funny and very short i would imagine pretty short yeah i've enjoyed that one this week but you know by and large

06:15.840 --> 06:16.380
Not really.

06:16.520 --> 06:16.940
Oh, really?

06:17.241 --> 06:21.902
Yeah, my heart doesn't soar when a new link comes through from someone I barely know.

06:21.962 --> 06:23.223
I get up and start dancing.

06:23.483 --> 06:24.623
To you.

06:24.983 --> 06:26.184
A new nutty viral.

06:26.444 --> 06:27.424
You'll never believe this!

06:27.624 --> 06:28.524
Actually, no, that's not true.

06:28.564 --> 06:29.885
It doesn't happen very often in our house.

06:30.465 --> 06:34.246
But my wife bounded over to me one evening and said, have you seen this?

06:34.446 --> 06:36.287
Because she doesn't get virals very often, I don't think.

06:36.847 --> 06:37.568
Viruses, yes.

06:37.688 --> 06:39.068
But virals, no.

06:39.388 --> 06:41.629
And so she opened up her computer.

06:41.649 --> 06:42.229
She was dead excited.

06:42.249 --> 06:43.950
She said, I don't know if this is real or not.

06:44.190 --> 06:44.430
Right.

06:48.231 --> 06:49.912
I was already thinking, well, it's probably not real.

06:51.333 --> 06:52.513
And she said, have a look at this.

06:52.913 --> 06:54.774
You've got to read all the text first, she says, right?

06:54.914 --> 06:56.634
It's like she's never seen one of these things before.

06:57.155 --> 07:02.437
And so basically it was all about this couple who had been out on holiday with their son.

07:02.817 --> 07:06.998
They'd been scuba diving and they'd said, and they have an underwater camera.

07:07.018 --> 07:10.980
They said to the son, can you take a picture of mum and dad underwater with our scuba gear on?

07:11.500 --> 07:13.482
The sun goes to take their picture.

07:13.502 --> 07:13.862
Can I guess?

07:14.363 --> 07:14.823
Yeah, go on.

07:15.043 --> 07:17.165
Massive shark approaching behind them.

07:17.585 --> 07:17.786
Yeah.

07:18.006 --> 07:18.606
Is that what it was?

07:18.646 --> 07:18.786
Yeah.

07:19.007 --> 07:19.207
Right.

07:19.567 --> 07:20.188
Massive shark.

07:20.628 --> 07:25.973
And so there's this whole story about how he's gesticulating and mum and dad are saying, Karen, just take the picture afterwards.

07:26.013 --> 07:26.773
He shows them the picture.

07:26.793 --> 07:27.754
He goes, weren't you freaked out?

07:27.774 --> 07:28.575
And they're like, what do you mean?

07:28.835 --> 07:30.156
He says, look, look at the picture.

07:30.196 --> 07:33.399
There's a famous photo of someone standing on top of the Twin Towers.

07:33.699 --> 07:34.019
That's right.

07:34.039 --> 07:35.841
With a plane right over his shoulder.

07:35.961 --> 07:36.221
Yeah.

07:36.301 --> 07:38.143
There were lots of faked ones like that, weren't there?

07:38.243 --> 07:42.428
That was, I mean, I remember when that one came out, it was so shocking that I just thought, who would fake this up anyway?

07:42.748 --> 07:47.113
But this is slightly different, this one is more sort of sweet, but it is obviously fake.

07:47.133 --> 07:49.315
Like, it's an absolutely giant shock, right?

07:49.656 --> 07:50.697
For the one from George.

07:50.757 --> 07:53.159
Yeah, no, it's like the one from Finding Nemo.

07:53.320 --> 07:53.520
Right.

07:53.760 --> 07:55.302
You know, I'm not animated.

07:55.682 --> 07:56.743
It's not actually animated.

07:57.003 --> 08:02.588
It's a decent Photoshop job of this couple kind of doing the thumbs up in their scuba gear with this enormous shock.

08:02.989 --> 08:06.152
And so I sort of laughed and my wife said, do you think it's real?

08:06.192 --> 08:07.313
I said, no, it's not real.

08:07.333 --> 08:08.734
She said, well, how do you know?

08:08.754 --> 08:11.076
We just laugh and say, no, it's not real.

08:11.096 --> 08:11.557
How do you know?

08:11.577 --> 08:13.999
I said, well, look at the size of the shot.

08:14.019 --> 08:15.340
It's an absolutely huge shot.

08:15.360 --> 08:18.383
If that shot really, if that picture had been taken, that would be on the news.

08:19.124 --> 08:20.405
She said, that's your logic, is it?

08:20.465 --> 08:21.466
That it would be on the news.

08:22.826 --> 08:24.167
And I was like, why are you getting angry?

08:24.247 --> 08:25.648
Are you upset because it's not real?

08:25.668 --> 08:26.389
Listen, I'm sorry.

08:26.869 --> 08:27.609
Maybe it's real.

08:27.689 --> 08:28.690
I don't think it is real.

08:29.250 --> 08:33.153
And we had a little tension exchange about the fact that I poo-pooed the viral.

08:33.713 --> 08:36.615
But she was outraged that my logic was it would have been on the news.

08:37.196 --> 08:39.097
Yeah, that is weird logic.

08:40.134 --> 08:40.614
Good evening.

08:40.634 --> 08:41.935
This is the news.

08:42.535 --> 08:43.696
Couple almost eaten.

08:43.776 --> 08:46.057
You'll never believe this picture coming up.

08:48.458 --> 08:51.759
I mean, if the news covered stuff like that, it's all they have on the news.

08:51.779 --> 08:53.560
If that was a real picture, that would have been the news.

08:53.600 --> 08:53.980
I'm divided.

08:54.000 --> 08:55.081
I'm half with your wife.

08:55.681 --> 08:57.622
I mean, frankly, you both come across as idiots.

09:00.174 --> 09:04.078
Have a look at the feature and we'll respond to it after after a couple of songs.

09:04.299 --> 09:05.960
Here's a free play for you right now listeners.

09:06.221 --> 09:12.467
Now we're big fans of Uros Childs, ex of Gorky's Zygotic Monkey, and he's got a new album.

09:12.547 --> 09:14.009
I don't know if it's out or if it's coming out.

09:14.089 --> 09:15.631
It's called Son of Eurochild.

09:16.392 --> 09:19.715
And this is, I mean, it's quite a nutty album, right?

09:20.316 --> 09:21.357
Well, he's quite prolific.

09:21.597 --> 09:21.998
isn't he?

09:22.038 --> 09:30.364
He turns out lots of stuff and he's quite experimental and I suppose at his most accessible he's beautifully sort of wistful and you know, folk-y.

09:30.644 --> 09:32.506
This sounds like... He's a little more experimental on this one.

09:32.586 --> 09:35.368
Yeah, it sounds like kind of outsider art, you know.

09:36.809 --> 09:37.670
Which one have you chosen?

09:37.690 --> 09:40.912
Because I was flicking through it thinking which one... Like this then try this.

09:41.693 --> 09:50.482
You know, which is a thing that he's correctly identified as being an annoying thing about modern society, is people kind of pre-programming you and trying to guess your tastes and sell you... Genius button.

09:51.103 --> 09:52.064
Genius button, right.

09:52.504 --> 09:57.149
So this is a kind of mad song about that, which ends up with a really pleasing refrain of him just sort of going,

09:57.369 --> 09:58.510
Do you like telephones?

09:58.770 --> 09:59.790
I like telephones.

10:00.010 --> 10:01.131
Do you like mayonnaise?

10:01.391 --> 10:02.371
I like mayonnaise.

10:03.051 --> 10:03.792
Hope you enjoy this.

10:04.172 --> 10:06.133
Like this, then try this by Uros Childs.

10:06.673 --> 10:09.674
A little enjoyable slice of dementia there from Uros Childs.

10:09.754 --> 10:10.775
Like this, then try this.

10:11.375 --> 10:13.776
We're just having a look at the picture of the shark.

10:13.796 --> 10:19.479
Yeah, a guy called Rob Evans, thank you Rob, has sent in the photo in question and also the source photo from which it was taken.

10:19.519 --> 10:21.279
Joe was impressed by the photoshop job.

10:21.319 --> 10:26.682
Yeah, it's an unusually good blending of this photo of a shark and the two divers.

10:27.162 --> 10:30.004
But Joe was chuckling at the notion that it would be on the news.

10:30.524 --> 10:31.245
It wouldn't!

10:31.385 --> 10:34.046
Look at the size of the shark!

10:34.227 --> 10:35.648
Well, it should be on the news.

10:35.668 --> 10:37.809
Usually the news is dominated by grim stuff.

10:37.829 --> 10:40.571
But if that photo was real, that would be on the news.

10:41.191 --> 10:43.713
If I was running, if I was producing a decent news program.

10:44.193 --> 10:45.674
Rather than this shoddy news programme.

10:45.694 --> 10:47.555
Right, and this rubbish news programme.

10:47.595 --> 10:49.876
That would be my top story, my lead story.

10:51.177 --> 10:52.397
Well, it would be a better world.

10:52.938 --> 10:57.000
I pointed out to Adam that it could just be in SeaWorld or some safe environment.

10:57.020 --> 10:59.381
They do not have sharks that size in SeaWorld.

10:59.401 --> 11:00.922
But then it all started kicking off again.

11:00.942 --> 11:02.462
It was like being your wife.

11:02.603 --> 11:05.164
I would like to hear from a shark expert.

11:05.444 --> 11:07.886
Can you tell me, shark expert, have a look at the viral picture.

11:07.926 --> 11:11.929
All you do is search for shark, scuba couple, whatever, and you'll find it pretty quickly.

11:11.949 --> 11:12.870
Scuba shark.

11:12.970 --> 11:13.631
Scuba shark.

11:13.691 --> 11:14.171
It's cool.

11:14.552 --> 11:22.238
And tell me if you know anything about sharks, whether, if that pit was real, right, would that not be like the biggest shark ever?

11:22.438 --> 11:24.520
Sharks that size don't wander around.

11:24.540 --> 11:26.161
Would that be in your script for the news?

11:26.281 --> 11:26.622
Yes!

11:27.302 --> 11:30.143
And later, is this like the biggest shark ever?

11:30.303 --> 11:31.684
We'll be talking to an expert.

11:32.224 --> 11:34.565
That's what the news will be like in the future.

11:34.945 --> 11:36.585
And you'll probably be reading it as well.

11:36.665 --> 11:39.826
Terrifying glimpse into it.

11:39.846 --> 11:40.987
Something to look forward to.

11:41.327 --> 11:42.047
Here's a trail.

11:42.287 --> 11:42.827
Very nice.

11:42.987 --> 11:44.148
Well done, Björk.

11:44.528 --> 11:45.448
That's Human Behaviour.

11:45.488 --> 11:47.669
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC Six Music.

11:48.349 --> 11:49.850
Nice to have you along.

11:50.330 --> 11:53.511
Now we received a message from Tim Phillips a couple of weeks back.

11:53.912 --> 12:04.677
He says, Dear Adam and Jo, this week I was speaking at a conference about music piracy and counterfeiting, which was attended by police from 40 countries and the head of Interpol.

12:05.037 --> 12:07.618
Wow, so he's like a serious grown-up man, Tim Phillips.

12:07.998 --> 12:08.318
Well done.

12:08.798 --> 12:14.542
It had been a serious morning with a lot of presentations about organized crime and I was on just after lunch.

12:14.822 --> 12:23.506
So I thought I'd lighten the mood and give everyone a good laugh at themselves by playing a bit from Adam's piracy song that he did from Salt for Song Wars.

12:24.067 --> 12:30.270
I started my presentation by playing the bit where he sings about how the music industry people make up the piracy figures.

12:30.750 --> 12:34.092
Here's a little clip just to remind you if you haven't heard this song before.

12:36.857 --> 12:42.413
I guess the world is changing I don't like it, that's the way it is

13:11.315 --> 13:11.915
So there you go.

13:11.955 --> 13:13.595
Can we be sure that's the bit he played?

13:13.915 --> 13:14.716
I'm pretty certain.

13:14.736 --> 13:16.216
To the entire Interpol.

13:16.776 --> 13:22.137
He says, I think I misjudged the mood because instead of a big laugh there was just an awkward silence.

13:22.557 --> 13:23.937
Does anyone listen to Adam and Jo?

13:23.997 --> 13:24.958
I asked cheerfully.

13:25.258 --> 13:26.298
Everyone just stared at me.

13:27.878 --> 13:30.139
Who was in the audience then?

13:30.219 --> 13:35.480
Police from 40 countries and the head of Interpol at this conference about music piracy.

13:36.660 --> 13:38.341
That's amazing.

13:38.361 --> 13:39.542
Were you fired, Tim?

13:40.082 --> 13:40.643
Immediately.

13:40.683 --> 13:44.605
Were you immediately pulled up by your collar and fired?

13:44.966 --> 13:45.506
I hope so.

13:45.726 --> 13:53.931
We do enjoy getting emails about people who for some insane reason use the show in some kind of educative or like official way.

13:53.951 --> 13:59.695
Like we had someone who was, we occasionally get students who do essays or something based on the show.

13:59.975 --> 14:02.057
Yes, theses, theses.

14:02.117 --> 14:12.847
Yeah, we had, I think, someone who was training, was it people in the Turkish army or something to speak English, and he was using the show to teach soldiers English.

14:13.147 --> 14:15.129
I mean, that just seems terrifying thought.

14:15.249 --> 14:16.410
Absolutely ridiculous.

14:16.430 --> 14:17.110
For future wars.

14:18.392 --> 14:20.894
But Interpol, though, I mean, that's insane.

14:21.174 --> 14:24.037
Surely, they don't really have much of a sense of humor about themselves anyway.

14:24.577 --> 14:27.179
and about piracy and counterfeiting, do you think?

14:27.439 --> 14:28.640
There can't be a lot of chuckles at those conferences.

14:28.660 --> 14:33.684
They're not known for their sense of humour or irony or powers of discretion, really.

14:33.764 --> 14:36.026
No, so Tim, you were really sticking your neck out there.

14:36.186 --> 14:37.547
Yeah, a brave man, well done.

14:37.687 --> 14:38.728
Thinking that was going to go down well.

14:38.748 --> 14:40.029
Be some kind of medal for Tim, shouldn't there?

14:40.209 --> 14:40.549
Yeah.

14:40.789 --> 14:44.332
Or maybe he could have a kind of a Black Squadron rank shift, you know?

14:44.432 --> 14:47.034
Some kind of... Like a gold idiot hole badge.

14:47.134 --> 14:47.454
Yes.

14:48.535 --> 14:49.596
Like a really shiny one.

14:49.636 --> 14:51.117
Would that be something he'd wear with pride?

14:51.357 --> 14:51.897
I think so.

14:51.937 --> 14:53.719
If he's going to play... We've discussed that before, haven't we?

14:53.739 --> 14:55.580
Like the blue Peter badges they used to give out.

14:55.720 --> 14:56.020
Yeah.

14:56.040 --> 14:58.902
Remember you used to get a white one, a blue one, a silver one, and a gold one.

14:59.002 --> 15:00.403
Nice laminated thing we need.

15:00.423 --> 15:00.643
Yeah.

15:00.943 --> 15:01.364
Laminated?

15:01.424 --> 15:02.284
No, I don't mean laminated.

15:02.324 --> 15:04.526
I mean, um... It could be laminated, Adam.

15:04.786 --> 15:06.267
I think it should be laminated.

15:06.367 --> 15:07.708
It would be gold.

15:07.768 --> 15:10.209
We could probably put it through a laminate machine.

15:10.229 --> 15:10.450
Yeah.

15:10.830 --> 15:11.830
Is it time for the news now?

15:12.011 --> 15:12.271
It is.

15:12.311 --> 15:13.131
It's 9.30 and here is the news.

15:14.372 --> 15:17.716
That was White Winter Hymnal by FleetFoxes.

15:17.736 --> 15:20.199
This is Adam and Jo here on BBC 6 Music.

15:32.974 --> 15:35.897
Don't go thinking that it's just some randomly concocted command.

15:35.937 --> 15:39.419
They are, of course, building up to the most extraordinary operation.

15:39.519 --> 15:41.241
I know we've been saying that for a year and a half.

15:41.481 --> 15:42.322
Nude operation?

15:42.342 --> 15:45.104
Why are you obsessed with nudity?

15:45.224 --> 15:45.764
You are too.

15:46.225 --> 15:49.187
Am I?

15:49.527 --> 15:51.409
Attack being the best form of defence there.

15:51.449 --> 15:55.111
You just turned it around, threw it back in my face with that even of pause.

15:57.173 --> 16:01.417
I'm just going to go through some of the best toast photos we've got.

16:01.537 --> 16:06.481
Matt Donison has threaded soldiers onto an actual bracelet.

16:06.521 --> 16:12.345
He's buttered them, providing a very convenient dipping mechanism if he had a bit of eggy there.

16:13.386 --> 16:13.986
Very nice.

16:14.046 --> 16:15.167
That would be nice, wouldn't it?

16:16.047 --> 16:18.608
Anna has done some beautiful circular.

16:19.128 --> 16:26.070
She's punched out perfect circles out of toast, one slightly smaller than the other, and then they actually do look like beautiful breaded bracelets.

16:26.190 --> 16:26.830
Those are really nice.

16:26.850 --> 16:31.012
Those are the kind of things they used to have on shows in the 80s where they would encourage you to make your own fashions.

16:31.092 --> 16:32.692
Well, you know, 80s is back again.

16:32.772 --> 16:34.573
People from the Face magazine.

16:34.633 --> 16:36.514
Alex and Amy have toast bracelets.

16:36.554 --> 16:40.215
They're actually toasting their toast bracelets with a little bit of alcohol.

16:41.095 --> 16:47.157
Would we encourage adult Black Squadron members to have a little bit of a drink in the first half hour of the show?

16:47.177 --> 16:48.217
I think we have in the past.

16:48.257 --> 16:48.617
Have we?

16:48.677 --> 16:48.998
Yeah.

16:49.278 --> 16:49.498
Well done.

16:49.518 --> 16:50.138
It's nearly Christmas.

16:50.158 --> 16:53.359
Alex and Amy from Simon Weets.

16:53.679 --> 16:56.040
There's a triple toast bracelet fist bump.

16:56.140 --> 16:56.620
Very nice.

16:57.140 --> 17:03.385
And finally, not to be advised, Black Squadron member MJ is putting metal bracelets into the toaster.

17:03.646 --> 17:04.586
Yeah, that's insane.

17:04.627 --> 17:06.328
Don't toast the actual bracelets.

17:06.348 --> 17:09.411
I mean, yeah, the bracelets themselves probably conduct electricity.

17:09.451 --> 17:10.251
Come on, guys.

17:10.431 --> 17:13.594
Hey, guys, guys, guys.

17:13.814 --> 17:20.300
Now, listen, the other thing I should tell you listeners, if you can visit the webcam and see the studio here, you might see that

17:20.960 --> 17:22.662
Count Buckley's has his arm in a sling.

17:22.862 --> 17:23.102
Yeah.

17:23.503 --> 17:26.125
Yare mentioned it at the end of his show because he saw it.

17:26.165 --> 17:27.166
It's quite a shocking sight.

17:27.566 --> 17:29.668
It's one of those sort of pathetic slings.

17:30.068 --> 17:31.069
Well, no, what a pink.

17:31.249 --> 17:31.730
No, what do you mean?

17:31.750 --> 17:32.250
Well, no.

17:32.590 --> 17:33.771
What do you mean pathetic?

17:34.072 --> 17:35.012
Well, it's not a proper.

17:35.092 --> 17:38.776
You haven't got your arm in plaster and it's not a big piece of proper white cloth.

17:39.016 --> 17:41.638
No, it's it's sort of pink foamy.

17:41.698 --> 17:42.018
Yeah.

17:42.279 --> 17:42.759
Fabric.

17:43.340 --> 17:43.780
Yeah.

17:43.840 --> 17:48.144
The sort of stuff that a float is made out of in the pool vaguely.

17:48.164 --> 17:48.524
I don't know.

17:48.644 --> 17:49.165
A little bit.

17:49.205 --> 17:49.745
It's foamy.

17:50.446 --> 17:51.707
It's surgical foam.

17:51.787 --> 17:53.329
It's surgical foam.

17:53.569 --> 17:55.992
It was done by a doctor in the A&E department.

17:56.012 --> 17:58.334
Really, and it's just loosely around the wrist.

17:58.554 --> 18:05.081
It's the kind of thing that kids would come to with school and then manage to get out of all lessons, even though it didn't look very painful.

18:05.221 --> 18:08.184
No, Yara correctly pointed out that I could easily have got out of this show.

18:08.544 --> 18:09.304
You could, can I?

18:09.344 --> 18:12.265
And I was considering yesterday, I phoned Garth to see if he would be able to do it.

18:12.285 --> 18:12.465
Did you?

18:12.645 --> 18:14.205
Yeah, I was in hospital all day yesterday.

18:14.225 --> 18:14.385
Really?

18:14.405 --> 18:15.426
Well, this is what I'm leading up to.

18:15.526 --> 18:16.786
And it looks bad, man.

18:16.866 --> 18:17.966
Tell everyone what to do.

18:17.986 --> 18:23.247
Well, I was moaning about my L bone, a mysterious swelling on my L bone, right L bone, about three weeks.

18:23.307 --> 18:24.508
Now, four weeks ago it was now.

18:24.708 --> 18:26.108
For the last four years.

18:26.368 --> 18:26.648
Weeks.

18:26.728 --> 18:27.488
No, for four weeks.

18:28.068 --> 18:33.850
I was hilariously referring to it as my painful guy, Garvey, in the mistaken belief that it would clear up and go, wait, hasn't it?

18:33.870 --> 18:34.630
It's just got worse.

18:35.350 --> 18:38.892
went to the, uh, finally I was in so much pain a couple of nights back.

18:39.252 --> 18:40.652
It doesn't look like anything, doesn't it?

18:40.732 --> 18:40.933
No.

18:41.773 --> 18:48.856
And I was in so much pain, couldn't move, literally almost crying, uh, that I finally had to go into A&E, right?

18:48.896 --> 18:51.337
Because I was getting no joy from my doctor who went to my GP.

18:51.777 --> 18:53.038
He told me to tough it out.

18:53.378 --> 18:53.878
He didn't.

18:55.359 --> 18:57.460
I would have thought that was the kind of thing you'd respond to.

18:57.600 --> 18:58.001
Tough it out.

18:58.161 --> 18:58.521
Well, I did.

18:59.101 --> 19:03.024
At that point, when I was in with the GP, I wasn't in such agonizing pain.

19:03.044 --> 19:03.924
It was just persisting.

19:03.984 --> 19:05.065
I was like, why hasn't this gone away?

19:05.085 --> 19:06.706
He said, oh, you should just tough it out.

19:07.306 --> 19:08.947
In a month, it'll be a distant memory.

19:09.127 --> 19:10.188
So I said, all right, I'll tough it out.

19:10.628 --> 19:12.789
I thought, OK, fair enough, bit of reassurance from the doc.

19:12.829 --> 19:21.594
But that night, tears of pain rolling down my cheeks, right, I was I couldn't move or anything like the slightest movement would just send me into paroxysms of agony.

19:21.994 --> 19:23.796
So I go into A&E, right?

19:23.816 --> 19:24.476
Do you think that's fair?

19:24.716 --> 19:25.417
Yeah, that's fair.

19:25.637 --> 19:27.798
Lady at the A&E takes down my details.

19:27.838 --> 19:28.999
I describe what's going on.

19:29.279 --> 19:33.001
She goes, that's not really the kind of thing you're supposed to come into A&E for.

19:33.061 --> 19:34.662
It's not an accident.

19:34.702 --> 19:36.163
No, so it's not really an emergency.

19:36.644 --> 19:39.606
It's an emergency that if the pain is intense, that's an emergency, right?

19:39.926 --> 19:44.389
I said the pain is unbearable and it feels as if it's just getting worse and I don't know what to do.

19:44.589 --> 19:46.490
And my GP has been of no use to me.

19:46.550 --> 19:47.591
So what am I supposed to do?

19:47.751 --> 19:48.111
Tough it out.

19:48.464 --> 19:48.964
tough it out.

19:49.384 --> 19:52.365
Well, I tough it out, waited for three hours in A&E, and then they saw me.

19:52.385 --> 19:53.366
They were very nice indeed.

19:54.346 --> 20:00.208
And then the day after that, I went back in for a battery of tests, blood tests, x-rays.

20:00.288 --> 20:01.468
Oh, you look happy about that.

20:01.508 --> 20:02.949
Well, it's nice to have a battery of tests.

20:02.969 --> 20:04.409
His eyes lit up on battery of tests.

20:04.429 --> 20:05.889
Because then you feel something's being done.

20:05.969 --> 20:06.570
You know what I mean?

20:06.590 --> 20:07.450
They're looking into it.

20:07.850 --> 20:09.351
You're not being told to tough it out.

20:09.371 --> 20:11.433
You're not being asked if you're under a lot of stress.

20:11.453 --> 20:12.514
Have you had the results back?

20:13.214 --> 20:14.895
Yeah, to all normal, right?

20:14.935 --> 20:15.956
Which makes it even worse.

20:16.136 --> 20:17.678
Wow, so it's like a mystery disease.

20:17.758 --> 20:18.438
Mystery disease.

20:18.538 --> 20:18.858
Really?

20:18.959 --> 20:23.542
So I got various people coming in and poking and prodding me, which is very shameful.

20:23.922 --> 20:24.443
Specialists.

20:24.783 --> 20:28.005
And then they started taking samples from my joints.

20:28.886 --> 20:30.187
Injecting my L bone.

20:30.207 --> 20:33.228
Yeah, I've never experienced such excruciating.

20:33.248 --> 20:38.830
They give you a local a little local but she said This is just gonna numb the skin.

20:39.091 --> 20:41.792
It's still gonna be very painful and sure enough.

20:42.032 --> 20:43.753
It was Unbelievable.

20:44.333 --> 20:46.834
I nearly passed out was it was amazing.

20:46.854 --> 20:46.874
I

20:47.094 --> 20:52.095
Is there no way that we can, like, have the BBC got, like, a staff doctor, a special... I think they do.

20:52.175 --> 20:52.915
...castle doctor?

20:52.955 --> 20:55.916
There's a BBC dentist, apparently, that I'm really excited about.

20:55.936 --> 20:57.597
Well, let's take care of this.

20:57.657 --> 21:00.317
Ben's saying no, but we'll make one up.

21:00.957 --> 21:03.938
Can't we get, like, a... Let's get Stephen and Max in a doctor's outfit.

21:04.078 --> 21:05.118
That would be great, yeah.

21:05.159 --> 21:06.979
He could suck the blood out of my... Exactly.

21:07.159 --> 21:07.519
Exactly.

21:07.559 --> 21:09.641
He'll give you a full body blood transfusion.

21:09.661 --> 21:13.424
You just need to drink the blood that is built off on the airborne.

21:13.845 --> 21:16.547
Okay, here's the eels right now with the look you give that guy.

21:16.747 --> 21:17.628
Very nice and relaxing.

21:17.648 --> 21:19.830
That's eels with the look you give that guy.

21:19.850 --> 21:24.133
That's from their last album, Ombre Lobo, I believe.

21:24.854 --> 21:25.214
Yeah.

21:25.234 --> 21:25.695
You're right.

21:26.055 --> 21:27.636
This is Adam and John, BBC Six Music.

21:27.656 --> 21:28.397
Good morning listeners.

21:28.437 --> 21:29.197
It's time for

21:29.938 --> 21:31.039
Retro-Tex-the-Nation.

21:31.119 --> 21:36.382
Now, Retro-Tex-the-Nation has got a jingle and... People love the jingle.

21:36.422 --> 21:38.883
They do, but it had like an earlier incarnation.

21:38.903 --> 21:39.443
Do you remember that?

21:39.463 --> 21:44.766
A sort of a funky... Well, it started out as a funky track that you did over a Garage Band thing, right?

21:44.887 --> 21:48.749
And a gentleman called John Paul Spears sent in the following email.

21:49.269 --> 21:50.049
Hi, Joe and Adam.

21:50.450 --> 21:52.151
I've recorded a jingle bed for you.

21:52.671 --> 21:57.834
The vocal from the original Retro-Tex-the-Nation should slot perfectly into this backing track.

21:58.374 --> 22:01.977
I estimated your tempo at 114 beats per minute and used that.

22:02.458 --> 22:06.241
It's based on the jazz standard, one note samba, Love from Spearsie.

22:06.522 --> 22:07.222
Nice one, Spearsie.

22:07.242 --> 22:17.711
So he by ear figured out the precise tempo of the original jingle and then made this bed for it and I popped it into Garrott Band and popped the vocals over it and it works amazingly.

22:17.892 --> 22:18.072
Yeah.

22:18.232 --> 22:22.496
And I think Spears has set an extraordinary, Spearsie, he's set an extraordinary precedent

22:23.076 --> 22:28.500
and showed incredible skill, cunning and acumen that other listeners might like to rise to his challenge.

22:28.540 --> 22:29.100
You know what I mean?

22:29.241 --> 22:30.722
Yeah, they might like to rise to his acumen.

22:30.742 --> 22:32.583
I mean, check out how well this fits.

22:49.995 --> 22:51.416
And you did bin in there as well.

22:51.757 --> 22:52.757
I've switched it to bin.

22:53.338 --> 23:01.024
We got an avalanche of angry mails about people saying, why did you count out a little bit of anti-American trash pressure?

23:01.164 --> 23:01.645
Here's one.

23:01.845 --> 23:08.931
If you weren't listening last week, you remember that we got an email from a girl called Clem and her sisters saying that they didn't like the use of the word trash in that jingle.

23:08.991 --> 23:09.151
Yeah.

23:09.251 --> 23:13.094
Thought it was an Americanism and they wanted me to change it to bin, so I did change it to bin.

23:13.394 --> 23:16.257
But as Adam says, we got loads of mail complaining about that here.

23:16.277 --> 23:17.598
For instance, there's one from Will Took.

23:18.098 --> 23:25.120
Your email from the voice of the people Clem last week concerning the use of the word trash and retrotext the nation was certainly passionate but academically shoddy.

23:25.561 --> 23:32.743
In Julius Caesar Act 4 Scene 3 Brutus wonders whether he shall be forced to sell the mighty space of our large honours for so much trash as may be grasped.

23:33.163 --> 23:39.749
Similarly, in Henry IV Part 2 Act 1 Scene 4, the Duke of York orders his soldiers to, quote, lay hands upon those traitors and their trash.

23:40.089 --> 23:43.672
Moreover, both Caliban and his master, the magician Prospero in the Tempest, use the work.

23:44.012 --> 23:52.219
If one consults the Oxford English Dictionary, they will find that John Skelton, another Englishman, Henry VIII's tutor no less, uses the term in his morality play Magnificence, first performed in 1518,

23:53.180 --> 23:56.383
less than 30 years after Columbus discovered the New World in 1492.

23:56.543 --> 24:04.972
Also, I think if you go and see Hamlet at the moment, there's a bit in there where he says, and now my message might be read out instead of thrown in the trash and forgotten about.

24:05.112 --> 24:06.854
It's been reinstated.

24:08.736 --> 24:09.096
Hamlet.

24:10.197 --> 24:12.519
That's a Shakespeare play.

24:12.539 --> 24:13.180
Two laws in it.

24:13.320 --> 24:17.823
Will provides a massive amount of evidence there that trash is not an Americanism, it's a British word.

24:18.064 --> 24:25.970
Other people saying that of course we receive most messages digitally so you would drag them into the trash on the screen, but I don't know, you can't please everyone all the time, can you?

24:26.010 --> 24:26.731
You shouldn't even try.

24:27.131 --> 24:28.633
Well, I've started trying.

24:29.754 --> 24:30.835
That's where you went wrong.

24:30.855 --> 24:33.398
What if I do a version which says bin and trash simultaneously?

24:33.518 --> 24:34.099
No, no, no.

24:34.259 --> 24:34.600
Bash?

24:34.680 --> 24:35.461
I tell you what you should do.

24:35.501 --> 24:36.302
Trin.

24:36.642 --> 24:38.945
Because now you feel too proud to switch it back, right?

24:39.465 --> 24:41.327
Now you feel like you're going to be Johnny Flip Flop.

24:42.068 --> 24:43.209
You should go and switch it back.

24:43.229 --> 24:44.949
I do feel like I'm going to be Johnny Flip-flop.

24:44.989 --> 24:45.249
Yeah?

24:45.550 --> 24:47.210
No, I want to be Johnny Flip-flop.

24:47.250 --> 24:48.011
Tommy U-turn.

24:48.431 --> 24:50.852
You should just switch it back, guy.

24:50.952 --> 24:51.832
I want to be Tommy Flip-flop.

24:51.852 --> 24:59.135
Don't be like all these people like British Airways who spend however many millions of pounds rebranding and then everyone goes, eh, it was much better before.

24:59.155 --> 25:00.256
Just switch back, guy.

25:00.276 --> 25:02.097
I can't stop thinking about Tommy Flip-flop.

25:02.437 --> 25:03.237
Johnny Flip-flop.

25:03.437 --> 25:04.658
Johnny Flip-flop, wasn't he?

25:05.218 --> 25:05.878
I don't know.

25:05.918 --> 25:06.759
There's two of them now.

25:06.799 --> 25:07.599
That's Tommy U-turn.

25:07.739 --> 25:08.220
They're wicked.

25:08.800 --> 25:10.342
All they're wearing is little speedos and flip-flops.

25:10.382 --> 25:15.047
Listen, Jonny flip-flop, if the Retro Text the Nation jingle is not back to trash next week, I'm going to beat you.

25:15.108 --> 25:15.368
Really?

25:15.388 --> 25:16.269
Yeah, I'm going to beat you.

25:16.309 --> 25:22.076
Well, listen, we've waffled on for so long, we're going to actually do the Retro Text the Nation business after this next record.

25:22.116 --> 25:23.557
This is a free play by me.

25:24.298 --> 25:27.182
This is from Steve Martin's new album of... It's by me.

25:27.762 --> 25:27.942
What?

25:27.962 --> 25:29.483
It's a bit, you know, it's taking credit for a lot.

25:29.503 --> 25:30.704
Did I say this is by me?

25:30.744 --> 25:32.005
Yeah, it's a free play by me.

25:32.085 --> 25:33.846
Oh yeah, I mean chosen by me.

25:33.866 --> 25:34.467
Yeah, by.

25:34.807 --> 25:37.128
It's actually performed by Steve Martin, the comedian.

25:37.308 --> 25:37.769
Yeah, yeah.

25:37.949 --> 25:38.729
It's mainly by you.

25:38.749 --> 25:40.310
Do you like it when people end sentences up?

25:40.330 --> 25:40.891
What's like that?

25:41.451 --> 25:42.072
My son does it.

25:42.092 --> 25:43.172
Steve Martin, the comedian?

25:43.212 --> 25:44.013
Yeah.

25:44.053 --> 25:48.796
It's from his album, The Crow, which features new songs for the five-string banjo.

25:48.816 --> 25:49.817
This is called Late for School.

25:50.397 --> 25:54.940
Steve Martin from his album, The Crow, new songs for the five-string banjo released this year.

25:54.960 --> 25:56.281
That was called Late for School.

25:56.301 --> 25:56.942
This year, was it?

25:56.962 --> 25:57.422
Yeah, I think so.

25:57.762 --> 26:06.086
And we got a message from someone saying that Uros Childs' album, which we played a track from earlier on, was available for free on his website.

26:06.106 --> 26:07.267
It is available for free.

26:07.287 --> 26:08.107
It is available for free.

26:08.127 --> 26:12.090
Now, we haven't actually researched that or backed it up.

26:12.170 --> 26:13.550
It's just an email we received.

26:13.570 --> 26:15.451
It might be wrong, but it might be because it was.

26:16.992 --> 26:18.533
Now it's time for Retro Text the Nation.

26:18.853 --> 26:21.395
We've sort of lost control of our jingles this morning, haven't we?

26:21.455 --> 26:22.636
Yeah, all over the place.

26:22.836 --> 26:26.318
Because we've done the jingle before now, so we're just going to launch into it.

26:26.338 --> 26:28.600
What was the subject of Text the Nation last week, Adam?

26:28.860 --> 26:42.089
It was kind of new demented shops inspired by a trip to a shop called Hollister in Westfield Shopping Centre, where all the staff were ridiculously good looking and it's incredibly dark and super air conditioned and the music's very loud.

26:42.589 --> 26:46.672
So we were thinking of new things to do to jazz up the shopping experience.

26:47.072 --> 26:58.883
That was last week's subject, and of course Retro Text the Nation is the place where... Oh, I don't know, I can't... It's an opportunity for people who listen to the show during the week rather than live on Saturdays to contribute to Text the Nation.

26:59.243 --> 27:01.345
So here are some of the emails we got.

27:01.606 --> 27:03.587
This is from Michael Lumley in Leeds.

27:04.188 --> 27:08.051
Hi Adam and Jo, my idea for this week's Text the Nation would be a sweat shop.

27:08.352 --> 27:09.413
Oh, I thought it was a sweet shop.

27:10.113 --> 27:13.015
This shop has the look and feel of a traditional sweatshop.

27:13.455 --> 27:14.096
Ah, that's nice.

27:15.797 --> 27:17.097
A traditional sweatshop.

27:17.798 --> 27:24.022
With many orphan children working at sewing machines, each child produces a different coloured t-shirt with writing on it.

27:24.682 --> 27:27.604
And you buy the t-shirts straight from the children themselves.

27:27.884 --> 27:35.929
This makes the shopper feel very guilty seeing the poor orphans and immediately begin buying various coloured t-shirts with writing on them from the various orphan children.

27:36.849 --> 27:37.550
Michael Lumley and Leeds.

27:37.570 --> 27:38.691
Now, that's a very good idea.

27:38.811 --> 27:41.172
Well, it would certainly be nice to put a face to the little children.

27:41.272 --> 27:41.773
Exactly.

27:41.873 --> 27:46.176
And it'd be good to see them in the flesh and... In an authentic environment.

27:46.296 --> 27:47.376
A traditional environment.

27:48.237 --> 27:56.743
If you watch BBC Three, every other show on that channel seems to be some kind of teenage girl going to India to get angry about the sweatshops.

27:57.243 --> 27:59.745
There seems to be a kind of a queue of... Do you love BBC Three?

27:59.865 --> 28:01.546
I do love their documentaries, yeah.

28:01.686 --> 28:05.248
There was one on the other day as well, and just these very, quite sort of...

28:06.369 --> 28:11.593
pretty overly made-up teenage girls going and putting their hands on their hips and shouting at sweatshop owners.

28:11.913 --> 28:13.594
How can you possibly do this?

28:13.954 --> 28:14.935
This is disgusting!

28:15.656 --> 28:16.796
This place should be closed down!

28:16.896 --> 28:20.939
Which is quite right, obviously, but possibly simplifies the economic and social issues.

28:20.959 --> 28:21.500
Apparently not.

28:21.600 --> 28:21.960
Apparently not.

28:21.980 --> 28:22.881
They've all been closed down.

28:22.961 --> 28:23.861
Have they been closed down?

28:23.881 --> 28:24.382
Thanks to her.

28:24.482 --> 28:25.322
Yeah, since that documentary.

28:25.342 --> 28:25.663
Good stuff.

28:25.883 --> 28:27.604
But they could do that in this shop as well.

28:27.644 --> 28:29.345
They could have a kind of manager.

28:29.625 --> 28:30.446
He'd just be an actor.

28:30.686 --> 28:30.766
Yeah.

28:30.786 --> 28:35.170
And you could shout at him, you know, you could really complain about all the injustice in the world.

28:35.290 --> 28:35.671
Yes.

28:35.991 --> 28:38.053
And they could kind of mime closing down the shot.

28:38.093 --> 28:41.356
It would be very cathartic and then you come out and you've got a t-shirt with right on it.

28:41.376 --> 28:41.516
Exactly.

28:41.536 --> 28:43.518
But as soon as you leave, they all go back to work.

28:43.658 --> 28:44.059
I like it.

28:44.199 --> 28:44.799
They reset.

28:45.000 --> 28:46.721
Here's one from Stuart Bell in Cambridge.

28:46.781 --> 28:47.062
He says,

28:48.743 --> 28:57.526
My idea for a high-concept shop would be to have it decked out like an old-style school outfitters with all different uniforms in separate places.

28:57.886 --> 29:03.789
In this case, however, instead of schools, they would be various visually identifiable subculture groups.

29:04.169 --> 29:12.632
So you'd have the skinny jeans and grubby hoodies indie kids section, a corner of black items for the Goths and so on, where the brilliance arrives.

29:13.032 --> 29:18.437
is that the shopping experience is just like going shopping for a school uniform with your mum.

29:18.758 --> 29:22.961
You're assigned a lady to help you who not only picks out appropriate clothes for you.

29:24.603 --> 29:28.807
Once you've told her your school, did you read it through first?

29:29.067 --> 29:29.968
No.

29:30.348 --> 29:31.770
You're just coming to terms with it laughing.

29:32.150 --> 29:34.092
I was trying to make it sound like I had.

29:34.392 --> 29:35.333
It's a good idea, man.

29:35.373 --> 29:35.994
Keep going.

29:36.034 --> 29:37.575
But also make sure you're

29:38.856 --> 29:44.842
But also, make sure you buy things that fit and chivvies you along in the changing rooms, etc.

29:45.162 --> 29:47.504
I don't like shopping very much and this would be a big help.

29:47.965 --> 29:48.805
It ended well though.

29:48.925 --> 29:50.507
Stuart Bell in Cambridge.

29:50.567 --> 29:51.167
No, discuss that.

29:51.408 --> 29:53.089
It's just the middle bit that went wrong.

29:53.570 --> 29:55.011
Okay, so Stuart's idea.

29:55.271 --> 29:58.814
What was Stuart's idea?

30:00.035 --> 30:00.516
As I understand it.

30:00.536 --> 30:02.878
You were concentrating so hard on just getting the words out.

30:02.898 --> 30:03.299
For a shop.

30:03.319 --> 30:04.259
You didn't actually hear.

30:04.400 --> 30:05.301
It was.

30:06.582 --> 30:10.085
It's like a shop and they sell goth clothes in one corner.

30:10.145 --> 30:10.986
Goth clothes?

30:11.126 --> 30:11.807
Goth clothes.

30:11.827 --> 30:12.307
Oh goth clothes.

30:12.468 --> 30:16.872
And indie clothes in the other corner and there's a woman who shouts at you.

30:17.673 --> 30:19.134
How is that different to his idea?

30:20.295 --> 30:23.376
It's kind of the same, but he's talking about like a school uniform.

30:23.736 --> 30:27.457
He's drawing a comparison between contemporary styles and school uniforms.

30:28.057 --> 30:31.878
He's saying contemporary fashion is basically like a series of school uniforms.

30:31.958 --> 30:32.078
Right.

30:32.578 --> 30:38.119
And you could go into a shop like a school uniform shop and be measured and allocated the correct uniform.

30:38.139 --> 30:38.479
That came across.

30:38.499 --> 30:39.739
But you'd have to go with your mummy.

30:40.019 --> 30:40.659
Yeah, yeah.

30:40.679 --> 30:41.120
I said all that.

30:41.200 --> 30:42.540
I said all that.

30:42.880 --> 30:43.360
Have you got one there?

30:43.380 --> 30:44.360
It's a good idea though, isn't it?

30:44.380 --> 30:44.740
Very good.

30:44.780 --> 30:45.741
Well done, Stuart and Cambridge.

30:46.001 --> 30:47.181
Sorry, I massacred your letter.

30:48.421 --> 30:49.041
Here's another one.

30:49.081 --> 30:49.602
Hi, Adam and Jo.

30:49.702 --> 30:50.922
Please read this email out.

30:50.962 --> 30:55.484
I listen to your show on the internet every Monday morning whilst I draw my molecules here in Barcelona.

30:56.084 --> 30:57.124
Sounds slightly insane.

30:57.144 --> 30:59.325
He works in a biomedical... This is Louise, actually.

30:59.345 --> 31:02.046
She works in a biomedical research lab in Barcelona.

31:02.146 --> 31:05.507
My idea for a crazy shop is having all the assistants seem like psychopaths.

31:06.127 --> 31:13.716
For example, one is strapped onto a trolley like Hannibal Lector with a mouth guard on, with someone else to push him around between customers.

31:14.136 --> 31:21.084
Another one would be in a straitjacket, another nonchalantly carrying a grubby hold-all with an elbow sticking out of it.

31:22.285 --> 31:22.605
Maybe.

31:22.665 --> 31:25.127
Occasionally the assistants start to fight between themselves.

31:25.588 --> 31:26.729
Everything else in the shop is normal.

31:27.129 --> 31:33.214
Apart from their physical appearance and fights, the assistants behave like regular people and do not acknowledge there is anything abnormal.

31:33.254 --> 31:34.735
Why is that a good idea for a shop?

31:34.815 --> 31:36.877
You could also use real psychopaths.

31:37.697 --> 31:40.539
But there may be health and safety issues.

31:40.820 --> 31:44.423
She doesn't go into saying why it's good or how it would enhance.

31:44.523 --> 31:46.404
She's been spending too long staring at molecules.

31:48.086 --> 31:52.250
Do you think she can stare at things so hard that she can see the molecules?

31:52.650 --> 31:54.532
Yes, she can see them at a molecular level.

31:54.613 --> 31:58.637
Is it true that if you stare at something for long enough you do start to see the molecules?

31:58.697 --> 31:59.598
Yeah.

31:59.618 --> 32:00.259
Is that not true?

32:00.279 --> 32:00.859
That's not true.

32:01.100 --> 32:06.886
Is it true that one time a couple was scuba diving and their son took a photo of them?

32:07.426 --> 32:07.807
And behind them.

32:07.847 --> 32:09.789
And there was this big plane behind them.

32:09.969 --> 32:11.030
Yeah, it was on the news.

32:11.290 --> 32:11.890
Was it on the news?

32:11.930 --> 32:12.130
Yeah.

32:12.350 --> 32:13.311
Wow, I love the news.

32:13.671 --> 32:15.012
Is that enough retro textinations?

32:15.052 --> 32:15.552
I think it is.

32:15.632 --> 32:16.493
Oh, can we do one more?

32:16.733 --> 32:19.515
Go on then.

32:19.735 --> 32:26.979
A shop modeled on trendy New York loft apartments staffed entirely by extremely good looking second year art students with hangovers.

32:27.319 --> 32:33.463
The shop sells massively overpriced designer stuff and stupid plastic fisheye cameras that make everyone look like they have big faces.

32:33.743 --> 32:45.047
The customers who shop there do so because it fills them with a false sense of smug superiority over their fellow wannabe indie types as their navy blue polo shirt has a little gold badger on it whereas the serfs navy blue polo shirt does not.

32:45.347 --> 32:49.469
The customers often have haircuts that cost more than their shoes and cannot name more than four countries.

32:49.789 --> 32:51.110
It would be called urban outfitters.

32:52.831 --> 32:56.094
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music.

32:56.114 --> 32:56.954
Who was that from incidentally?

32:57.095 --> 32:57.355
Don't know.

32:57.955 --> 32:59.016
Uncredited satire.

32:59.117 --> 33:00.378
Forgot to put it on the page.

33:00.538 --> 33:00.998
Sorry.

33:01.098 --> 33:02.460
We're at absolute disgrace.

33:02.700 --> 33:03.641
Here's a trail right now.

33:03.701 --> 33:04.702
This is for Sean Keveny.

33:04.722 --> 33:05.422
Enjoy the trail.

33:05.683 --> 33:09.266
This is the voice of the big, windy castle.

33:09.366 --> 33:11.268
It is the top of the hour.

33:11.328 --> 33:12.829
Ooh, that's wonderful.

33:13.050 --> 33:15.452
I got so bored with the last hour and day.

33:20.500 --> 33:23.981
That's the XX there with Islands.

33:24.081 --> 33:27.083
They sound a lot like young marble giants.

33:27.283 --> 33:28.624
They're super hot right now.

33:28.704 --> 33:30.224
Have you seen the XX perform?

33:30.565 --> 33:31.965
They were in the Hub a few weeks back.

33:32.025 --> 33:32.345
Are they?

33:32.385 --> 33:32.646
Yeah.

33:32.746 --> 33:33.886
Were you watching them perform in the Hub?

33:33.926 --> 33:34.947
I was, and they looked impressive.

33:34.987 --> 33:37.428
They were one of those bands you sort of stopped and you thought, oh, this is good.

33:37.468 --> 33:38.488
They don't give a fig.

33:38.728 --> 33:39.169
Do they not?

33:39.409 --> 33:43.090
Well, they probably do, but when they're standing there playing, it appears that they don't.

33:43.371 --> 33:43.991
What are they doing?

33:44.191 --> 33:44.491
Nothing.

33:44.811 --> 33:45.952
They're just gazing at their shoes.

33:45.972 --> 33:47.032
Yeah, whatever.

33:47.092 --> 33:48.093
They don't give a fig.

33:48.573 --> 33:49.514
They're just nonchalant.

33:49.614 --> 33:49.994
Yeah.

33:50.715 --> 33:51.556
They hate challenge.

33:52.236 --> 33:52.717
Challenge?

33:53.017 --> 33:53.317
Yeah.

33:53.437 --> 33:54.278
What's challenge?

33:54.599 --> 33:57.061
That's what you, it's the opposite of nonchalant.

33:57.922 --> 33:58.642
Ah, nonchalant.

33:58.702 --> 34:00.844
Britain's got challenge.

34:00.884 --> 34:01.605
Yes, exactly.

34:01.625 --> 34:04.407
That would be another name for it because they'd be so excited.

34:04.427 --> 34:05.749
They've got the haircuts.

34:06.309 --> 34:06.529
Mm hmm.

34:07.210 --> 34:08.370
And they're South Londoners, aren't they?

34:08.450 --> 34:08.771
Are they?

34:08.811 --> 34:09.091
I think so.

34:09.111 --> 34:09.571
I like them.

34:10.051 --> 34:10.252
Yeah.

34:10.632 --> 34:10.812
Yeah.

34:10.832 --> 34:11.252
I think they're good.

34:11.272 --> 34:12.433
You think you had a free play of theirs?

34:12.453 --> 34:14.254
Yeah, I free played one of theirs the other week.

34:14.294 --> 34:14.534
Yeah.

34:14.995 --> 34:15.135
Yeah.

34:15.195 --> 34:16.055
I'd like to hang out with them.

34:16.095 --> 34:17.236
So give me a call, XX.

34:17.796 --> 34:18.217
I said that one.

34:18.237 --> 34:20.378
We can just hang around in South London and stare at our shoes.

34:20.398 --> 34:21.859
You remember years ago, I thought...

34:22.679 --> 34:29.564
I mistakenly believed that as soon as you're on the radio, like, everyone listens to you and you instantly can be friends with anyone you want to.

34:29.985 --> 34:37.470
So I remember, like, when the Libertines came out, I thought they were fun and I'd seen Pete Docherty being interviewed on MTV and I said, like, I'd love to hang out with Pete Docherty.

34:38.231 --> 34:38.831
When was this?

34:39.852 --> 34:42.094
Years back, like, 2003 or something?

34:42.354 --> 34:44.916
Well, I think that's a reach, that's an achievable aim.

34:45.096 --> 34:45.596
It is now.

34:45.917 --> 34:46.197
Yeah.

34:46.397 --> 34:47.758
All you need is, like, ten quid.

34:48.418 --> 34:50.320
He busks regularly, doesn't he?

34:50.760 --> 34:58.087
Now, we had a few messages from people who had heard my voice on the Philippe Stark sort of, what would you call it?

34:58.128 --> 34:59.589
It's not really a documentary, is it?

34:59.609 --> 35:01.571
No, I don't think it is a documentary.

35:01.651 --> 35:03.012
It's one of those kind of eliminations.

35:03.032 --> 35:04.074
It's a reality series.

35:04.134 --> 35:07.117
It's like a reality elimination thing, a little bit like The Apprentice.

35:07.237 --> 35:10.400
It's a design apprentice, The Apprentice for contemporary design.

35:10.600 --> 35:13.061
And it's on BBC, is it on Tuesday evenings?

35:13.461 --> 35:13.981
I don't know.

35:14.081 --> 35:14.782
Sometime around.

35:15.022 --> 35:16.522
It's a prime time proposition, though.

35:16.562 --> 35:17.963
It's like a nine o'clock thing.

35:18.043 --> 35:21.444
And he's a ridiculous over-the-top French design figure.

35:21.464 --> 35:23.465
I mean, he's also quite brilliant in the industry.

35:23.525 --> 35:24.506
You reckon he's brilliant, do you?

35:24.746 --> 35:29.808
Well, he's very, yeah, he is, because he's completely distinct and you can tell a Philip Stark thing.

35:29.848 --> 35:30.208
Can you?

35:30.748 --> 35:32.089
What's his most famous design?

35:32.509 --> 35:34.910
The Philip Stark golf ball, of course.

35:35.650 --> 35:36.230
Is that true?

35:36.470 --> 35:38.091
Yes, it is a triangle.

35:40.712 --> 35:46.934
Well, someone suggested the other day that I replace or fool around with the VO, because I do the voice-over, right?

35:46.954 --> 35:52.156
You do the voice-over, yeah, and it is disconcerting for, I mean, I sat down and watched it the first week it was on.

35:52.256 --> 35:53.737
And I realised it had your voice in it.

35:53.757 --> 35:55.537
I tried to do a serious one as well.

35:55.877 --> 36:00.259
Yeah, but it's hard not for it to be a bit funny, even when you try and do your serious voice.

36:00.279 --> 36:02.520
I was directed to be serious by that director.

36:03.880 --> 36:15.993
But it's odd, and especially when we know that you do quite an outrageously peculiar French accent yourself, it does not sound dissimilar to Starks' outrageously peculiar French accent.

36:16.074 --> 36:21.159
Well, with that in mind, I've slightly retooled the first minute or so of the programme.

36:21.319 --> 36:21.700
Good one.

36:24.349 --> 36:29.933
World-renowned designer Philippe Starck has set out to find Britain's best young creative talent.

36:30.293 --> 36:42.361
Great design is all about the unexpected idea, like a bed made out of glass or a glass made out of glass and a bed.

36:42.481 --> 36:48.545
From hundreds of online applicants, he chose 12 to join his school of design in Paris.

36:48.605 --> 36:50.687
Bonjour, les englais, pouvous la là!

36:51.207 --> 36:55.088
Now he's putting them through their paces to find the best of the best.

36:55.148 --> 36:56.209
I use the best of the best.

36:56.269 --> 36:56.629
Yes.

36:56.849 --> 36:57.469
OK, you stay.

36:57.649 --> 36:58.289
Thank you.

36:58.649 --> 37:02.190
One up-and-coming designer who's worthy of a place at his own agency.

37:02.230 --> 37:03.471
I am crazy.

37:03.631 --> 37:06.092
OK, I say what I think, because I'm a genius.

37:06.352 --> 37:07.132
Look at my nipples.

37:07.172 --> 37:07.532
Woo-hoo.

37:07.952 --> 37:11.213
So far, he has challenged them to rethink everything they know.

37:11.353 --> 37:16.995
OK, you know, mugs, mugs, OK, for drinking the coffee and the tea?

37:17.535 --> 37:17.915
Rethink.

37:18.235 --> 37:20.456
Instead, use the smashed hat of a tramp.

37:20.976 --> 37:23.919
He has praised their high moments, and slammed their low ones.

37:24.019 --> 37:26.301
And when students fail to meet his exacting standards,

37:37.671 --> 37:40.392
A return journey through the channel tunnel beckons.

37:40.672 --> 37:47.815
I want you to go out through the channel tunnel now like a big fart, because that's what you are to me, a massive great fart of a person.

37:47.875 --> 37:52.297
Go get out of my sight out of it now and take your lonely chair with you.

37:52.797 --> 37:53.797
That's a better program.

37:54.298 --> 37:54.858
Oh, come on.

37:54.918 --> 37:55.878
It's a much better program.

37:56.338 --> 37:59.960
You know what I'd also like to hear is the voiceover done in that voice as well.

38:01.493 --> 38:02.273
One of the whole things.

38:02.553 --> 38:03.453
Water waters.

38:03.473 --> 38:04.374
Just insane.

38:05.454 --> 38:06.314
Frenchorama.

38:06.394 --> 38:09.095
And have, instead of British students, insane French students as well.

38:09.155 --> 38:09.775
That was excellent.

38:09.875 --> 38:10.935
Thanks for doing that.

38:10.995 --> 38:12.376
We need some music to recover now.

38:12.516 --> 38:13.516
Yeah, here's a free choice for you.

38:13.536 --> 38:17.137
Now, I did a bit of DJing at a club called the 13th Floor and the Albany Nasturtium.

38:17.157 --> 38:17.737
How did that go?

38:17.837 --> 38:20.898
It was great fun, and lots of nice people came along who listened to the show.

38:20.958 --> 38:24.819
And as usual, it was such a joy to meet them, really genuinely a pleasure.

38:25.299 --> 38:29.520
And one of the people that I came up to, it was a couple, and they... That he came up to.

38:29.600 --> 38:30.380
You were approaching them.

38:30.660 --> 38:31.761
Yeah, I was just wandering around.

38:31.781 --> 38:31.841
Hey!

38:32.041 --> 38:32.921
Do you listen to our show?

38:32.961 --> 38:34.262
Doesn't matter, it's okay, don't worry.

38:35.462 --> 38:44.266
Louise and Neil, actually they came up to me when I was on the way to the Lavi and they said, hi, we really like your show, we've just had an amazing day, they'd just been to see Mott the Hoople.

38:44.986 --> 38:51.369
And Ian Hunter from Mott the Hoople, he's like in his 70s now, and he was playing at the Bats Apollo or whatever it's called now in Hammersmith.

38:51.989 --> 38:55.950
And apparently it was an amazing gig and he was on top form, so Louise and Neil were walking on air.

38:56.230 --> 39:00.292
Also, they bumped into Mick Jones from the Clash, who's like the original Mott the Hooples superfan.

39:00.672 --> 39:02.512
He turned out to be an absolutely lovely guy.

39:02.532 --> 39:05.173
And so they... And then they met you.

39:05.233 --> 39:06.253
And then they met me.

39:06.353 --> 39:07.174
Wow, what a day.

39:07.634 --> 39:13.175
So this one, I asked them if they played this song and they said they didn't, but this is one of my favourite Mott the Hooples songs.

39:13.215 --> 39:14.176
This is Sea Diver.

39:14.556 --> 39:18.277
That was howling bells with setting sand.

39:18.877 --> 39:20.357
How do you like howling bells?

39:20.737 --> 39:30.280
Yeah, yeah, kind of Yeah, yeah, it was good stuff there Adam and Joe here on BBC six music coming up later in the show We've got a couple of features for you listeners.

39:30.540 --> 39:30.820
Really?

39:30.940 --> 39:38.002
Yeah, we're pushing them today We got one feature right where we get people to send us in ideas what on like a subject?

39:38.042 --> 39:40.302
Wait, wait, wait, wait, what's called text donation?

39:40.722 --> 39:42.243
It's got a jingle complicated.

39:42.263 --> 39:42.883
It never worked.

39:42.903 --> 39:43.083
Really?

39:43.863 --> 39:44.683
Well, we might drop it then.

39:45.063 --> 39:47.584
And we've also got made-up jokes as well.

39:47.604 --> 39:49.384
Have you got made-up jokes in your locker there?

39:49.504 --> 39:51.085
I've got so many made-up jokes.

39:51.125 --> 39:52.085
You know what I was thinking?

39:52.665 --> 39:56.566
I mean, the response to the made-up jokes thing is voluminous.

39:56.726 --> 39:57.286
It really is.

39:57.726 --> 40:01.927
And we could do... Do you think this would work if we did a made-up jokes special?

40:02.347 --> 40:03.287
This is what I'm proposing.

40:03.747 --> 40:07.508
An entire three-hour show of solid made-up jokes.

40:07.648 --> 40:08.028
Oi!

40:08.529 --> 40:10.429
Now... Why is that good?

40:10.749 --> 40:11.189
I don't know.

40:11.309 --> 40:12.190
What do you think would happen?

40:12.210 --> 40:13.931
Because it would be fun at the beginning, wouldn't it?

40:14.531 --> 40:16.933
And then it would get torturous in the middle.

40:16.953 --> 40:18.314
It would get boring in the middle.

40:18.334 --> 40:19.715
But then what would happen towards the end?

40:19.735 --> 40:19.975
Would it?

40:19.995 --> 40:21.636
Do you think you'd go through?

40:21.816 --> 40:31.582
Well, maybe you'd pass through into some incredible new kind of hysterical, tedious... But you're assuming people would listen for that length of time.

40:32.342 --> 40:33.322
Well, we'd all try.

40:33.362 --> 40:34.743
We'd be like a national effort.

40:34.763 --> 40:36.643
I think we'd just switch off at five to ten.

40:36.763 --> 40:37.203
Do you think?

40:37.344 --> 40:39.364
Well, you could if it got too much for you, medically.

40:39.604 --> 40:40.765
We got made up jokes anyway.

40:41.025 --> 40:45.966
We're not going to do that this show, but we've got a few good... I mean, I've got some ones that really made me chuckle.

40:46.046 --> 40:46.986
Yeah, some good ones.

40:47.066 --> 40:49.827
And a little bit more controversy as well about people stealing them.

40:49.907 --> 40:55.709
I mean, this is something that maybe we're going to have to put to bed because people are always going to think that the jokes are being nicked, right?

40:56.289 --> 41:00.092
I think I still maintain that you can apply some criteria.

41:00.353 --> 41:00.553
Really?

41:00.573 --> 41:01.754
Google search is good.

41:02.334 --> 41:07.679
And if it's if it's just an old play on words on terms that have been around a while, then of course someone's thought of it.

41:07.779 --> 41:08.339
That's the thing.

41:08.459 --> 41:12.783
We've got to focus on jokes that aren't just completely easy little puns.

41:12.823 --> 41:13.103
Yeah.

41:13.323 --> 41:14.865
Anyway, that's coming up later in the program.

41:15.766 --> 41:17.828
Tonight is X Factor Night, isn't it?

41:18.168 --> 41:19.149
Of course it is, Adam.

41:19.229 --> 41:19.870
Of course it is.

41:19.910 --> 41:20.631
Are you watching that?

41:20.951 --> 41:22.012
No, of course I'm not.

41:22.152 --> 41:25.496
Actually, we watched it last week because it was the emotional pornography one.

41:25.596 --> 41:26.297
That's right.

41:26.317 --> 41:27.538
It was the nervous breakdown one.

41:27.558 --> 41:29.280
And that for me is the climax of the series.

41:29.340 --> 41:30.381
It's just downhill from here.

41:30.401 --> 41:32.243
I don't usually... As soon as they get in the studio, I don't care.

41:32.483 --> 41:35.026
I don't usually watch the thing, but I did tune in last week.

41:35.046 --> 41:36.307
My wife was excited about it.

41:37.108 --> 41:39.510
And, uh, yeah, the emotional pornography.

41:39.870 --> 41:41.412
So the deal is right.

41:42.193 --> 41:46.037
Um, before you find out the judge's decision, you're asked how you're going to respond.

41:46.537 --> 41:47.838
The, the, the contestants are.

41:47.959 --> 41:48.199
Yes.

41:48.699 --> 41:51.302
What you're saying, the production staff ask them how they're going to respond.

41:51.562 --> 41:53.404
Yeah, no, like in the VT packages, right?

41:53.624 --> 41:59.688
They sort of say before they find out just, you know, if they're going through to the next round, they sort of say, you know, how are you going to... How will you feel?

41:59.789 --> 42:00.089
Yeah.

42:00.469 --> 42:04.792
And so they sort of say, I'm going to be absolutely... And they've got to outdo each other for how gutted they're going to be.

42:05.033 --> 42:05.633
Is that the deal?

42:06.033 --> 42:08.235
And they've got to say, yeah, I'm going to be absolutely miserable.

42:08.936 --> 42:10.197
My life's never going to be the same again.

42:10.217 --> 42:20.425
I'll have to go back to my pathetic life and go back to the nursing home and help people, like some kind of loser, you know, and that'll be a disaster area.

42:21.586 --> 42:26.391
But presumably they have to make it sound as bad as possible to show that they're serious about wanting to win, right?

42:26.411 --> 42:26.491
Yeah.

42:27.172 --> 42:32.738
And then when they find out the result, when they find out they are going home, then they just lose the plot.

42:33.078 --> 42:34.960
Sometimes their legs collapse.

42:35.501 --> 42:35.621
Yeah.

42:35.641 --> 42:37.083
Sometimes their legs collapse.

42:37.123 --> 42:40.687
Their legs absolutely collapse and their heads explode.

42:40.827 --> 42:41.387
Sometimes.

42:42.108 --> 42:54.796
I was having dinner with an American lady this week and she said on American X Factor, she watched that show of British X Factor and said that she was really shocked by how demeaning it was for the contestants.

42:54.816 --> 42:56.137
How is it more noble in the States?

42:58.658 --> 43:00.679
propose that their life is going to be destroyed.

43:00.780 --> 43:03.121
They keep their basic integrity intact.

43:03.722 --> 43:07.324
And they would never reduce somebody to a tearful crumbling wreck.

43:07.664 --> 43:09.005
No, I don't believe that.

43:09.065 --> 43:10.046
Well, she maintained that.

43:10.066 --> 43:13.188
America is the stronghold of tearful crumbling wrecks, isn't it?

43:13.448 --> 43:16.390
No, but in America, generally, you don't destroy people.

43:16.410 --> 43:20.533
You know, things are more aspirational and, you know, it's a more positive atmosphere.

43:20.553 --> 43:21.894
You've got something to look forward to.

43:21.914 --> 43:22.274
Yeah.

43:23.035 --> 43:25.056
We like to really stamp people into the ground.

43:25.076 --> 43:27.718
But the crying is out of control.

43:27.958 --> 43:33.222
Yeah, I mean it's like if you don't cry now, then you you're an idiot and you don't deserve to be on the show, right?

43:33.902 --> 43:36.944
But what you know, it's just completely gone mental.

43:37.524 --> 43:38.165
Mm-hmm, right?

43:39.166 --> 43:39.886
Everyone is crying.

43:39.906 --> 43:48.152
We're talking about the guy from alone in the wild crying James cracknalls crying You know what?

43:48.852 --> 43:55.216
I caught four seconds of loose women the my least favorite television and they were talking about it as well And it's up on the screen.

43:55.276 --> 43:57.678
It said we guarantee you not to cry

43:58.038 --> 43:58.478
Oh, okay.

43:58.598 --> 44:01.880
And I thought, oh no, they're talking about crying as well.

44:02.180 --> 44:07.083
What would happen if everything we talked about on this show was also talked about on Loose Women?

44:07.103 --> 44:10.044
Well, it would mean that we had a wide demographic appeal.

44:10.264 --> 44:10.585
Yeah.

44:10.845 --> 44:15.147
And we were shoring up a certain part of that demographic by being men.

44:15.167 --> 44:19.409
That was quite a technical explanation.

44:19.489 --> 44:20.690
Anyway, listen, that's a tangent.

44:20.710 --> 44:21.650
So yeah, crying.

44:21.950 --> 44:22.611
Crying, yeah.

44:23.271 --> 44:31.539
I mean, how does it... Well, you've now absolutely torpedoed the whole thing by just talking about loose women as if that's supposed to make me feel good about anything.

44:31.599 --> 44:32.960
Well, maybe that's where we're headed.

44:33.300 --> 44:34.141
No, it's not.

44:34.181 --> 44:35.943
You could have just gone along with the talking about crying.

44:35.963 --> 44:37.364
No, I like talking about crying.

44:37.764 --> 44:42.248
Which is an interesting subject instead of saying, you know what, they're talking about some loose women.

44:42.269 --> 44:43.770
Well, you've got to admit that's frightening.

44:43.830 --> 44:44.410
No, I don't.

44:45.891 --> 44:47.352
I can't ignore the loose women.

44:47.372 --> 44:48.854
Why are you watching loose women?

44:48.894 --> 44:52.657
Because I happen to turn the telly on at lunchtime.

44:52.857 --> 44:58.542
If you turn the telly on and loose women is on there, you turn it off or you pull the plug out.

44:59.242 --> 45:02.445
Yeah, but it's got evil powers.

45:03.806 --> 45:04.547
Which one are you attracting?

45:04.647 --> 45:06.589
It's like on loose women.

45:06.649 --> 45:07.329
Yeah, if you had to.

45:07.349 --> 45:07.830
The desk.

45:08.991 --> 45:09.511
No, no, no.

45:09.571 --> 45:10.012
Which one?

45:10.152 --> 45:10.372
Come on.

45:10.649 --> 45:11.089
They won't.

45:11.109 --> 45:11.470
They won't.

45:11.510 --> 45:12.190
They revolve.

45:12.250 --> 45:12.971
They rotate.

45:14.132 --> 45:15.333
They all attach to the desk.

45:15.673 --> 45:16.233
Which one?

45:16.313 --> 45:16.633
Come on.

45:16.854 --> 45:17.734
If you really had to.

45:20.036 --> 45:20.736
Name some of them.

45:22.258 --> 45:23.979
A Mandy Splash.

45:25.460 --> 45:26.841
A Mandy Splash.

45:26.881 --> 45:27.181
Yeah.

45:27.642 --> 45:28.422
Do you need Runtal?

45:28.482 --> 45:29.483
Is she the Irish one?

45:29.503 --> 45:29.843
Frontal.

45:29.863 --> 45:30.364
Frontal.

45:30.424 --> 45:30.784
Yeah.

45:31.705 --> 45:33.166
No, that's Dorit Dorit.

45:36.239 --> 45:37.499
That's Doreen O'Hary.

45:40.320 --> 45:42.521
Ronam O'Clock.

45:42.861 --> 45:44.822
Ronam O'Clockback.

45:48.683 --> 45:49.383
Yeah, all of them.

45:50.083 --> 45:51.244
Would you?

45:52.324 --> 45:54.505
I'd take the really angry old one.

45:56.065 --> 45:57.646
Well, that's not very specific.

45:58.166 --> 45:58.786
It's not, is it?

45:59.706 --> 46:00.927
Are we really going to play the streets?

46:00.987 --> 46:02.007
Dry your eyes right now, Ben.

46:02.930 --> 46:05.150
Oh no, I've slightly ruined that avenue by poo-pooing it.

46:05.230 --> 46:06.511
We're gonna play the horrors instead.

46:06.611 --> 46:07.391
Whole new way.

46:07.431 --> 46:07.891
Here it is!

46:08.171 --> 46:08.751
Good effort.

46:09.291 --> 46:09.751
Very good.

46:09.791 --> 46:11.331
That's the horrors with whole new way.

46:11.351 --> 46:13.272
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music.

46:13.332 --> 46:14.012
It's just gone 10.30.

46:14.432 --> 46:15.072
Time for the news.

46:15.272 --> 46:18.613
It's the Manic Street Preachers with Your Love Alone is Not Enough.

46:18.813 --> 46:19.493
Is that what it's called?

46:19.993 --> 46:20.253
Yes.

46:20.373 --> 46:21.793
I'm just looking up some facts about it.

46:21.973 --> 46:22.313
Facts.

46:22.373 --> 46:23.894
We're gonna get some facts in a second.

46:24.254 --> 46:25.614
Stay tuned for facts, listeners.

46:25.694 --> 46:28.154
Any second now, it's gonna be Text the Nation time as well.

46:28.554 --> 46:29.675
So that's very exciting.

46:29.695 --> 46:30.755
Have you got your facts yet?

46:30.775 --> 46:30.955
No.

46:31.875 --> 46:33.135
It's taking a long time.

46:33.155 --> 46:33.935
Which page are they on?

46:35.256 --> 46:35.716
I don't know.

46:36.476 --> 46:43.597
Your Love Alone Is Not Enough, the Manic Street Preachers, featuring Nina Pearson from Loose Women.

46:44.117 --> 46:47.518
Your Love Alone Is Not Enough is taken from the album Send Away the Tigers.

46:47.618 --> 46:54.779
The song uses the lyric, You stole the sun from my heart, which is the name of another classic Manic Street Preachers album, Menic.

46:55.159 --> 46:56.320
It was released on the 30th of May 2007

46:58.680 --> 47:01.581
Why am I reading out all these facts about a two-year-old song?

47:02.162 --> 47:02.842
You tell us.

47:03.442 --> 47:04.322
I'm an idiot.

47:04.703 --> 47:05.483
Yes, you are.

47:05.523 --> 47:07.444
Alright, listen, let's launch Text-o-nation, shall we?

47:10.005 --> 47:10.745
Text-o-nation!

47:10.865 --> 47:11.945
Text, text, text!

47:12.046 --> 47:12.786
Text-o-nation!

47:12.826 --> 47:13.766
What if I don't want to?

47:13.786 --> 47:14.787
Text-o-nation!

47:14.867 --> 47:15.867
But I'm using email.

47:16.047 --> 47:16.767
Is that a problem?

47:16.807 --> 47:17.648
It doesn't matter, text!

47:19.901 --> 47:26.103
So Text the Nation, this week, listeners, is going to be about celebrity or famous name repurposing.

47:26.183 --> 47:34.685
And this is where you use the name of a famous person in your everyday life as a kind of way of denoting something else.

47:35.086 --> 47:35.306
Yeah.

47:35.386 --> 47:36.546
OK, here are some examples.

47:37.426 --> 47:47.169
If I want to personally, if I want to say to somebody, are you sure, you know, find out whether they're certain about something and I want to reiterate that, I might say, are you sure?

47:47.189 --> 47:49.210
Yeah, but are you poorly sure?

47:49.850 --> 47:50.810
Yeah?

47:51.090 --> 47:51.731
He's a comedian.

47:51.771 --> 47:52.671
He's an American comedian.

47:52.691 --> 47:53.031
It's easy.

47:53.111 --> 47:53.951
It's as simple as that.

47:53.971 --> 47:54.472
Here's another one.

47:55.052 --> 48:01.674
If I say to my girlfriend, I'm just off to have a bath, I sometimes like to call it a bee arth, right?

48:01.734 --> 48:03.255
As if there's a full stop after the bee.

48:03.675 --> 48:07.056
And then that mutates into, I'm just off to have a bee arthur.

48:07.736 --> 48:08.857
Who's one of the golden girls.

48:08.917 --> 48:09.197
Yeah.

48:09.297 --> 48:09.997
Who's bee arthur.

48:10.197 --> 48:10.677
Oh, I see.

48:10.737 --> 48:11.377
Right.

48:11.478 --> 48:12.618
I'm going to have a bath.

48:12.778 --> 48:12.978
Yeah.

48:13.078 --> 48:14.138
I'm off to have a bee arthur.

48:14.218 --> 48:14.399
Yeah.

48:14.499 --> 48:15.619
I'm just going to have a bee arthur.

48:15.899 --> 48:17.300
Which is a very different prospect.

48:17.581 --> 48:18.842
Yeah.

48:19.102 --> 48:19.863
Equally cleansing.

48:19.983 --> 48:20.444
Certainly.

48:21.204 --> 48:22.465
Or here's a third example.

48:23.106 --> 48:32.315
The other day I was watching a film on television that will remain nameless and it was kind of not very well directed, I thought.

48:32.856 --> 48:35.698
So I said to my girlfriend, is this directed by Michael Flatley?

48:36.599 --> 48:38.100
I didn't see where that's going.

48:38.140 --> 48:39.502
Because the direction's very flat.

48:39.522 --> 48:41.623
I said, well, it's very flatly directed.

48:41.783 --> 48:42.284
Yes.

48:42.404 --> 48:43.885
So that's the kind of thing we're after.

48:44.626 --> 48:50.070
If you, like, taking famous names and using them in everyday conversation to just to pep things up.

48:50.090 --> 48:52.773
What did your girlfriend do when you said that?

48:52.793 --> 48:53.613
She said, how do I love you?

48:53.633 --> 48:55.115
You're so clever and sexy.

48:55.635 --> 48:56.976
Then we... Let's go to bed.

48:57.257 --> 48:57.557
Yes.

48:57.617 --> 48:57.877
Yeah.

48:58.337 --> 48:58.818
Well done.

48:59.078 --> 48:59.739
Like a flatly.

49:00.359 --> 49:22.272
very nice so send in your suggestions i've only got those three i'm sure there's some in um there's a good episode of Seinfeld when they they're looking at someone sunbathing topless and one of them says yo yo ma that's good and then uh famous cellist then jerry comes back with your cellist uh yeah oh he i think is he and then jerry comes back with butras butras

49:25.153 --> 49:26.594
That's exactly what we're looking for.

49:26.634 --> 49:28.114
The text number is 64046.

49:28.815 --> 49:34.057
We've only got an hour and 17 minutes left on this textination, so get them coming in if you do the same thing.

49:34.117 --> 49:37.878
If you repurpose celebrity names in everyday chit-chat, please tell us.

49:37.898 --> 49:39.999
It's just a fun little thing that we can... It's just a fun little thing.

49:40.079 --> 49:41.600
Throughout the show, like hundreds and thousands.

49:41.620 --> 49:42.400
Like a little bit of pepper.

49:42.420 --> 49:46.902
It's like a little fun bit of pepper, or hundreds and thousands, or salt.

49:46.922 --> 49:48.222
Don't go overexcited about it.

49:48.382 --> 49:49.243
It's like sprinkles.

49:49.263 --> 49:50.423
It's like sprinkles on the show.

49:50.443 --> 49:51.424
It's like a fun thing.

49:51.444 --> 49:51.524
Yeah.

49:52.304 --> 50:00.013
Don't get excited about it.

50:00.473 --> 50:01.775
Here's a free play.

50:01.875 --> 50:03.957
This is from the soundtrack of the film The Wicker Man.

50:03.997 --> 50:05.339
This is by Paul Giovanni.

50:05.659 --> 50:06.921
This is called the Maple Song.

50:07.341 --> 50:08.141
This is Supergrass.

50:08.181 --> 50:08.661
Sorry, Adam.

50:08.681 --> 50:09.242
It's all right, man.

50:09.262 --> 50:10.182
I'm going to take care of this one.

50:10.242 --> 50:11.982
I was going to say the Magnificent Supergrass.

50:12.262 --> 50:13.823
Ah, with, what's the song called?

50:13.863 --> 50:14.323
Grace.

50:14.503 --> 50:14.983
Grace, yeah.

50:15.043 --> 50:20.765
And at 3.30 tomorrow, here on BBC Six Music, you can hear Supergrass presenting a month of Sundays.

50:20.785 --> 50:22.766
Well, you can hear Gaz and Danny from Supergrass.

50:22.786 --> 50:23.666
Okay, I'm sorry.

50:23.906 --> 50:25.206
But not Mickey.

50:25.626 --> 50:29.147
You know, it's not Supergrass if it's not all three key members of the band.

50:29.167 --> 50:29.648
Gaz and Danny.

50:30.348 --> 50:31.028
Gaz and Danny.

50:31.448 --> 50:31.648
Yeah.

50:31.828 --> 50:33.790
I mean, they are, of course, key members.

50:33.970 --> 50:36.992
But apparently, it's a really Wickles program.

50:37.032 --> 50:37.412
Yeah, very funny.

50:37.432 --> 50:39.553
Because they recorded it in whose house?

50:39.753 --> 50:41.214
Gazz's house in Oxfordshire.

50:41.234 --> 50:43.355
You shouldn't start talking if you haven't got all the facts.

50:44.556 --> 50:46.097
Well... You know, because you launched in there.

50:46.758 --> 50:49.319
That was Supergrass with... You didn't know the name of the song.

50:49.699 --> 50:54.042
If that's true, I've been, you know, in error for how many years now?

50:54.322 --> 50:54.602
I know.

50:54.622 --> 50:55.543
I mean, that was massive.

50:55.983 --> 50:57.044
I started talking in about 1996.

50:57.084 --> 50:57.864
Hot calling kettle black.

51:00.806 --> 51:02.347
But you're right, I was very ill-informed.

51:02.367 --> 51:04.689
I took over the link and then I just didn't have the equipment.

51:04.749 --> 51:05.229
Steamed in there.

51:06.350 --> 51:13.795
So anyway, but at 3.30 tomorrow, and it's supposed to be really funny, all sorts of stuff went down there in the not-super-grasses house.

51:13.895 --> 51:15.336
No, just Gaz and Danny.

51:15.376 --> 51:15.956
What are you doing?

51:15.976 --> 51:18.878
Why haven't you climbed out of that particular pit?

51:19.078 --> 51:19.919
I like it.

51:19.939 --> 51:21.040
It's dark and cosy.

51:21.100 --> 51:25.342
Yeah, 3.30 Gaz and Danny tomorrow for Month of Sundays here on BBC Six Music.

51:25.763 --> 51:27.284
Let's have the Made Up Jokes Jingle Band.

51:28.283 --> 51:45.140
I'm a funny person, I often make up jokes My jokes are more amusing than those of other folks When you hear my joke I think you'll find that you agree Come on, you're all invited to a made up joke party

51:45.980 --> 51:49.163
So the idea here, listeners, is these are authored jokes, right?

51:49.403 --> 51:49.563
Yeah.

51:49.643 --> 51:53.887
You have to be honest about it and send us in jokes that you've actually thought of.

51:54.288 --> 52:00.173
We're going to apply various rigorous criteria to them to make sure we only get the freshest baked jokes.

52:00.493 --> 52:06.098
And there's been an awful lot of controversy about who's been stealing whose jokes and who's been claiming that there's jokes with theirs.

52:06.358 --> 52:08.940
Sophie Ellis-Bekster was on Twitter the other day.

52:09.161 --> 52:10.822
Using the Schwarzenegger jokes.

52:10.982 --> 52:13.584
Yeah, I still love Easter, baby.

52:13.904 --> 52:15.485
And she was using it uncredited.

52:15.645 --> 52:21.869
But then, if we get upset about that, that's inferring that we, or the person who sent us that joke, made it up.

52:22.749 --> 52:23.490
Do we think that?

52:23.810 --> 52:24.951
Well, I don't know.

52:24.991 --> 52:26.692
You see, you get into difficult territory, don't you?

52:26.712 --> 52:29.173
You see, again, Asta LaVista, baby, when does that date from?

52:30.174 --> 52:31.535
Well, that's the 80s, isn't it?

52:31.915 --> 52:32.495
Late 80s?

52:32.575 --> 52:33.036
Exactly.

52:33.096 --> 52:34.436
So someone must have thought of that.

52:34.737 --> 52:36.357
I still love Easter, baby.

52:36.538 --> 52:36.998
I don't know.

52:38.078 --> 52:41.400
Anyway, here's a message as well from someone else who feels very wronged.

52:41.860 --> 52:48.124
Messers, Buxton and Cornish, he says, this is Simon and he says, I'm a 24 year old architect and find great joy in your podcast.

52:48.564 --> 52:49.666
which I enjoy very much.

52:50.146 --> 52:56.634
You might remember me as I was the one who kindly sent you my Bad Minton joke earlier in the year.

52:57.335 --> 53:02.582
I was listening this week and I was deeply saddened by you accrediting my joke to Tim Vine.

53:02.602 --> 53:03.643
That was you saying that joke.

53:03.823 --> 53:06.364
Well, I think somebody sent that in as an accusation.

53:06.444 --> 53:08.644
Who the bloody hell is Tim Vine?

53:08.664 --> 53:11.265
And I'm sorry about that swearing, they're listeners.

53:11.685 --> 53:18.527
A lot of my friends listen to your podcasts, and when you read out my joke, I enjoyed near celebrity status for a while.

53:18.807 --> 53:19.807
Well, a week anyway.

53:20.147 --> 53:24.749
Especially after you used my joke in the Glastonbury tent, which we did, we read out like the best, our favourite jokes.

53:24.789 --> 53:25.509
It went down very well.

53:25.569 --> 53:26.169
It's a good joke.

53:26.229 --> 53:27.310
There's no doubting that.

53:27.570 --> 53:28.651
Can you remind us what the joke was?

53:29.371 --> 53:30.932
My dog ate a shuttlecock.

53:31.233 --> 53:33.114
My dog, Minton, ate a shuttlecock.

53:33.494 --> 53:34.175
Bad Minton.

53:34.195 --> 53:34.755
It's a smash.

53:34.855 --> 53:35.335
It's a smash.

53:35.395 --> 53:42.881
He says, now you've thrown my contribution to your show back in my face in capitals and you've ridiculed me in front of the nation.

53:43.161 --> 53:50.646
I can genuinely say I did author that joke and I now apologize for trying to spread a little joy and contribute to the magic you chaps reduce on the airwaves.

53:50.886 --> 53:53.028
Maybe this Tim Vine chap

53:53.308 --> 53:54.708
nicked the joke off me, eh?

53:54.768 --> 53:55.489
What about that?

53:55.989 --> 53:59.770
Summary of this ranting email in Captain Duck children's book style.

53:59.990 --> 54:02.390
This is something we did on the podcast the other day.

54:02.410 --> 54:04.491
We did an intro in like a children's book.

54:04.791 --> 54:07.752
He says, my mint and joke read on Adam and Joe.

54:08.032 --> 54:10.132
How proud could I be to get on the show?

54:10.572 --> 54:13.193
But after using the joke, the joy is short lived.

54:13.513 --> 54:15.735
Buckles and corn balls just called me a div.

54:16.055 --> 54:17.816
I tell you the truth, this isn't a wine.

54:18.116 --> 54:20.117
I've never even heard of chuffing Tim Vine.

54:20.538 --> 54:22.999
No faith in this listener has caused me great pain.

54:23.340 --> 54:26.041
Oh Adam and Jo, Jo, redeem my good name.

54:26.382 --> 54:28.743
Kind regards, must get back to work, Simon."

54:29.444 --> 54:35.428
So thanks Simon, and I'm sorry, you know, sorry if you feel you've been humiliated and your jokes been misdirected, the credit's been misdirected there.

54:35.888 --> 54:37.969
But I hope you feel as if justice has been done now.

54:38.510 --> 54:39.971
And that's the end of Made Up Chokes this week.

54:42.072 --> 54:42.392
It's not.

54:42.432 --> 54:43.653
We've actually got some real ones.

54:43.673 --> 54:44.314
Have you got one there, Joe?

54:44.334 --> 54:44.914
Yeah, here's one.

54:44.954 --> 54:46.175
This is a short punchy one.

54:46.375 --> 54:47.495
Here's one from John Gibbons.

54:47.856 --> 54:50.157
How does Alan Sugar get his kids to go to bed?

54:50.917 --> 54:51.578
You're tired.

54:52.118 --> 54:52.418
Nice.

54:52.638 --> 54:53.099
I like that one.

54:53.119 --> 54:53.619
It's practical.

54:53.759 --> 54:54.099
That's good.

54:54.119 --> 54:54.800
It's a household joke.

54:54.820 --> 54:55.260
It's useful.

54:55.420 --> 55:02.044
All right, let's keep it short and punchy with this one from... Oh, he's someone in Kathmandu.

55:02.104 --> 55:02.985
I didn't write down the name.

55:03.025 --> 55:03.625
What a joke.

55:04.325 --> 55:05.386
It's a good joke as well.

55:05.886 --> 55:08.248
What sort of food does Sean Connery refuse to share?

55:08.788 --> 55:09.248
I don't know.

55:09.709 --> 55:10.089
Shelfish.

55:12.056 --> 55:13.497
I mean, that's probably not authored.

55:13.937 --> 55:15.237
There's probably been a few authors there.

55:15.257 --> 55:16.118
What's wrong with that?

55:16.138 --> 55:16.858
Well, I don't know.

55:16.938 --> 55:17.458
I don't know.

55:17.658 --> 55:18.118
Shellfish.

55:18.718 --> 55:21.979
It's a good partner to... Well, because we read out tennis as well, didn't we?

55:22.059 --> 55:22.880
Yeah, that's good too.

55:23.300 --> 55:24.180
That would be good in a marathon.

55:24.200 --> 55:25.861
Here's one I think is probably authored.

55:25.881 --> 55:29.482
Oh no, I haven't put the name down on this one either.

55:29.822 --> 55:30.342
Sorry about that.

55:30.362 --> 55:31.562
It's been a shaky week.

55:32.142 --> 55:36.864
Why can I always rely on my friend, the baking raster bird?

55:39.125 --> 55:40.586
Because he's my bread-ren.

55:41.447 --> 55:42.528
Bread-ren.

55:42.568 --> 55:45.550
That's like an inner city kind of an urban joke.

55:45.630 --> 55:46.210
Yeah, boy.

55:46.551 --> 55:46.931
Yeah.

55:47.051 --> 55:48.952
That's down on the front line there telling that joke.

55:49.453 --> 55:55.077
Here's one from Brendan Blackshaw in Watford, and this is the first of a couple of incredibly technical ones, right?

55:55.117 --> 55:55.637
Good, good.

55:56.017 --> 56:03.522
What do you call a group of bad writers who are pregnant and living in South London when they experience false contractions?

56:04.423 --> 56:05.323
Brixton Hacks.

56:06.043 --> 56:10.465
It says, Adam, you may need to explain this one to Joe, as it's probably one for mums and dads.

56:10.725 --> 56:11.985
Love the show, but did you get that one, Joe?

56:12.005 --> 56:15.326
But then again, I live in Brixton, so I should at least be able to get half of it.

56:15.506 --> 56:16.906
Have you heard of Brixton Hicks?

56:17.306 --> 56:17.966
No, what is that?

56:18.006 --> 56:22.868
Yeah, they're contractions like phantom contractions that come at the beginning of... Is that somebody's name?

56:23.308 --> 56:23.948
Brixton Hicks.

56:24.048 --> 56:28.852
Well, presumably the phenomenon was named after a medical person called Braxton Hicks.

56:28.972 --> 56:30.913
Would that be a nice thing to have named after you?

56:32.334 --> 56:33.395
Phantom Contractions.

56:33.675 --> 56:35.937
Is there a band called Phantom Contractions?

56:36.177 --> 56:37.258
Well, maybe there is now.

56:37.278 --> 56:37.779
That should be.

56:38.079 --> 56:39.300
That's a good joke though, Brendan.

56:39.320 --> 56:39.940
Yeah, that is good.

56:40.120 --> 56:41.902
Here's one from James in Melbourne.

56:42.582 --> 56:47.346
Hi guys, a couple of nights ago, while I was asleep and dreaming, I thought of a joke and it went like this.

56:47.866 --> 56:50.849
What do you call an elderly lady detective with a weight problem?

56:51.649 --> 56:53.010
Glandula Lansbury.

56:53.110 --> 56:53.411
Nice!

56:55.572 --> 56:56.813
I read that one, that made me chuckle a bit.

56:56.833 --> 56:57.054
That's good.

56:57.094 --> 56:58.995
Do you want another technical one?

56:59.075 --> 56:59.375
Yes.

57:00.917 --> 57:02.218
This is from Nick in Nottingham.

57:02.338 --> 57:03.779
Dear buckles and corn balls, hi.

57:04.139 --> 57:06.001
This is a joke my friend Henry made up.

57:06.061 --> 57:06.922
He's very proud of it.

57:07.282 --> 57:07.682
Question.

57:07.983 --> 57:09.324
How much does energy cost?

57:09.944 --> 57:11.485
answer ATP.

57:12.146 --> 57:26.958
And then he goes on to explain, in biology ATP, the letters, stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is an energy source produced during cellular respiration and viewed by biologists to be the energy currency of life.

57:27.279 --> 57:32.683
This is basic GCSE science, so hopefully the joke will find a wide audience that it so richly deserves.

57:32.963 --> 57:33.764
Love the show guys.

57:34.104 --> 57:35.846
Nicky Nottingham, ATP.

57:35.886 --> 57:36.727
That's funny, that's funny.

57:37.307 --> 57:40.550
I mean, it's not a belly laugh, because it's very academic.

57:41.210 --> 57:42.472
It's a kind of intellectual titter.

57:42.652 --> 57:45.534
It's not the kind of thing that Peter Kay is going to be wheeling out.

57:45.554 --> 57:48.837
No, it's a sort of rarefied Jeeves and Worcester chuckle.

57:49.077 --> 57:49.378
Yeah.

57:49.518 --> 57:51.359
Well, I could see Michael McIntyre doing it, though.

57:51.559 --> 57:54.502
We've had some trouble with Harry Potter jokes in the recent past.

57:55.022 --> 58:01.048
They're controversial things, but here's one I think there'll be no arguing over from Christopher Matheson in New York City.

58:01.929 --> 58:19.871
Hi Adam and Jo, I know you're both film buffs, but did you hear about that new film about a speleologist working out of the Zimbabwean capital who would get very angry every time he had to excrete either saliva from his mouth or flatulence from his buttocks?

58:21.212 --> 58:28.097
It was called Harare Pothola and the gob stroke let off ire.

58:28.777 --> 58:30.238
Oh my goodness.

58:30.278 --> 58:36.863
Harare Pothola and the gob let off ire.

58:36.903 --> 58:37.623
Did you get it?

58:37.984 --> 58:39.625
Christopher Matheson in New York City.

58:39.885 --> 58:40.766
I mean that's brilliant.

58:40.926 --> 58:42.667
You know what, I heard that on Mock the Week last week.

58:42.687 --> 58:43.027
Did you?

58:43.087 --> 58:43.347
Yeah.

58:44.268 --> 58:45.209
That one's doing the rounds.

58:45.989 --> 58:47.570
Thank you very much for all your made-up jokes.

58:47.610 --> 58:48.431
Have you got one last one?

58:48.631 --> 58:50.532
What does Mr. Miyagi do to relax?

58:51.412 --> 58:51.833
Wax off.

58:53.253 --> 58:53.874
You can't tell that.

58:54.034 --> 58:54.674
I can't tell that.

58:54.734 --> 58:56.275
That was from... Who's that from?

58:56.295 --> 58:56.715
Take it back.

58:57.056 --> 58:57.556
Will the Thrill.

58:57.596 --> 58:58.096
I take it back.

58:58.156 --> 58:59.417
No, it's like wax on, wax off.

59:00.165 --> 59:00.746
Wax on.

59:00.886 --> 59:01.967
Is that what Mr. Miyagi says?

59:02.047 --> 59:04.549
Yeah, when he trains the kid in the karate kid.

59:04.569 --> 59:04.870
Does he?

59:05.090 --> 59:05.290
Yeah.

59:05.891 --> 59:06.691
He does have a double meaning.

59:06.711 --> 59:08.053
You didn't explain that bit though, did you?

59:08.113 --> 59:09.394
Well, Mr. Miyagi.

59:09.594 --> 59:11.116
Everyone knows who Mr. Miyagi is.

59:11.176 --> 59:12.177
I didn't know that.

59:12.257 --> 59:13.338
I know who Mr. Miyagi is.

59:13.378 --> 59:15.660
I didn't know the technical term for what he does wax on wax on.

59:15.720 --> 59:16.461
Are you shocked?

59:16.901 --> 59:17.742
I'm really shocked.

59:18.223 --> 59:20.385
We've had... this has been a racy scene.

59:21.245 --> 59:22.846
It's a dangerous program.

59:23.746 --> 59:24.886
This program's edgy.

59:24.906 --> 59:25.526
This is edgy.

59:25.706 --> 59:25.906
Ouch.

59:26.507 --> 59:26.747
Ouch.

59:27.007 --> 59:27.427
Stop that.

59:27.567 --> 59:28.247
I've cut myself.

59:28.307 --> 59:29.967
This is Rijksop with This Must Be It.

59:30.087 --> 59:33.588
This is the voice of the big British castle.

59:33.989 --> 59:37.149
You are listening to animature on six music.

59:37.529 --> 59:39.270
We are on top of the hour.

59:45.160 --> 01:00:07.770
the ATP joke has caused some controversy an email from Ellen James sorry but that joke is such an old one loved by biologists worldwide an alternative is quote can I have a pint of energy please that'll be ATP another email from Tom Williamson Adam and Joe I my rate jokes that confuse ATP with ATP have been around for years magazine to a bar orders a pint of

01:00:08.510 --> 01:00:09.991
Adenos sign, try us fate.

01:00:10.271 --> 01:00:12.332
The farmer goes, certainly sir, that'll be ATP.

01:00:12.532 --> 01:00:14.013
Old, ringed out and worthless.

01:00:14.894 --> 01:00:15.794
Says Tom in Liverpool.

01:00:15.874 --> 01:00:19.096
Actually, that could be like a good little neat description of this show.

01:00:19.557 --> 01:00:20.977
Old, ringed out and worthless.

01:00:21.037 --> 01:00:22.278
Or just us as the duo.

01:00:22.718 --> 01:00:23.639
That's not very nice.

01:00:23.679 --> 01:00:24.599
It's not very nice.

01:00:24.900 --> 01:00:26.741
It's kind of... But it's edgy.

01:00:27.001 --> 01:00:28.242
It's edgy, isn't it?

01:00:28.302 --> 01:00:29.362
And this is the theme of the show.

01:00:29.382 --> 01:00:30.123
It's an edgy show.

01:00:31.243 --> 01:00:33.945
So, um, listen, you know when you get annoyed, Adam?

01:00:34.465 --> 01:00:35.065
Uh, adenoid.

01:00:35.406 --> 01:00:38.647
And sometimes you, you know, ask for a chill cake.

01:00:39.008 --> 01:00:39.308
Sure.

01:00:39.628 --> 01:00:40.969
Can I have a slice of chill cake?

01:00:41.449 --> 01:00:41.709
Yeah.

01:00:42.430 --> 01:00:47.232
Uh, I was waiting for you to get annoyed about something in the show to do this, but you seem fairly sanguine.

01:00:47.252 --> 01:00:47.973
Oh, yeah.

01:00:47.993 --> 01:00:48.873
Well, you know, we're very level-headed.

01:00:48.893 --> 01:00:49.974
Because someone's made us a chill cake.

01:00:50.294 --> 01:00:51.074
No, have they?

01:00:51.094 --> 01:00:51.835
Yeah, look at this.

01:00:52.115 --> 01:00:53.135
Well, I'm annoyed about my arm.

01:00:53.195 --> 01:00:54.316
I'd love some chill cake.

01:00:54.756 --> 01:00:55.377
Who said it to us?

01:00:55.417 --> 01:00:56.637
How do we know it's not poison chill cake?

01:00:56.657 --> 01:00:57.278
Tom Williamson.

01:00:58.143 --> 01:00:58.743
Well we don't.

01:00:59.124 --> 01:01:03.027
Here Adam and Jo, I have finally got round to baking and sending you a chill cake.

01:01:03.087 --> 01:01:03.867
Wow!

01:01:04.007 --> 01:01:11.873
It's a double layered sponge cake, flavoured with mint, filled with real whipped cream, I'm just unwrapping it here listeners, and topped with dark chocolate.

01:01:11.933 --> 01:01:15.756
Perfect, because mint is the key ingredient for any chillaxing session.

01:01:15.956 --> 01:01:17.297
I've made it for some friends.

01:01:17.557 --> 01:01:19.899
I assume he means he's, you know, tested out the recipe.

01:01:19.979 --> 01:01:20.159
Yeah.

01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:23.362
One of them told me it tasted like the cake equivalent of a Viscount biscuit.

01:01:23.562 --> 01:01:25.604
Ooh, nice biscuit.

01:01:26.645 --> 01:01:27.305
So here it is.

01:01:27.405 --> 01:01:33.470
I mean, one of the things that you're not supposed to do when you're a presenter is eat things that are sent to you.

01:01:33.510 --> 01:01:34.351
Especially on the radio.

01:01:34.591 --> 01:01:35.572
Yeah, why is that?

01:01:35.612 --> 01:01:40.156
That's something just that you sort of come to know early in any sort of broadcasting career, right?

01:01:40.196 --> 01:01:46.262
Because yeah, because you never know if drugs or maybe like a loon has sent it to you But we what are we doing?

01:01:46.282 --> 01:01:47.443
We're just assuming a chill cake.

01:01:47.503 --> 01:01:52.027
Oh, so I'm eating the chill cake You have to have some as well as your chill cake

01:01:52.327 --> 01:01:55.710
Otherwise, I'm just gonna be... It's a nice looking cake, isn't it?

01:01:55.750 --> 01:01:56.870
Either dying or tripping on my own.

01:01:56.891 --> 01:01:57.451
Tom, that's fantastic.

01:01:58.031 --> 01:02:00.173
There's the cake, and it smells very chilled.

01:02:00.193 --> 01:02:03.055
You know, a member of the band Bear Suit made me a cake the other day.

01:02:03.075 --> 01:02:03.295
Really?

01:02:03.395 --> 01:02:06.218
Yeah, they came along to a bug gig that I did.

01:02:06.238 --> 01:02:06.858
Did you eat that cake?

01:02:06.898 --> 01:02:09.080
No, I... You know, me and my whole family ate it.

01:02:09.340 --> 01:02:09.520
Did you?

01:02:09.600 --> 01:02:10.541
It was delicious.

01:02:10.561 --> 01:02:11.682
Why did you start saying, no, I chu...

01:02:12.282 --> 01:02:14.123
No, no, no, I said I absolutely loved it.

01:02:14.183 --> 01:02:14.904
It was amazing.

01:02:15.424 --> 01:02:17.585
I said, you know, I ate every single little bit.

01:02:17.865 --> 01:02:19.827
So is this... Cut us a slice of chill cake, Ben.

01:02:19.907 --> 01:02:21.868
Is the aroma making us feel more chilled?

01:02:21.888 --> 01:02:22.448
I don't know.

01:02:22.728 --> 01:02:26.170
Hey, Ben, listen, let's have the text-to-nation jingle while we're having some chill cake, okay?

01:02:28.572 --> 01:02:29.252
Text-to-nation.

01:02:29.412 --> 01:02:30.493
Text, text, text.

01:02:30.593 --> 01:02:31.333
Text-to-nation.

01:02:31.413 --> 01:02:32.354
What if I don't want to?

01:02:32.614 --> 01:02:33.335
Text-to-nation.

01:02:33.435 --> 01:02:34.435
But I'm using email.

01:02:34.595 --> 01:02:35.336
Is that a problem?

01:02:35.376 --> 01:02:35.916
It doesn't matter.

01:02:35.956 --> 01:02:36.196
Text!

01:02:38.410 --> 01:02:39.451
Go on, you have to have some too.

01:02:40.312 --> 01:02:41.032
You have some first.

01:02:41.052 --> 01:02:42.273
You have the chum chill cake!

01:02:42.313 --> 01:02:43.914
Are we going to eat it simultaneously?

01:02:44.315 --> 01:02:45.796
Yes, and see who drops dead first.

01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:53.342
What a way to actually kill someone though, to send them a chill cake.

01:02:53.902 --> 01:02:57.305
Oh no, something tastes a bit funny.

01:02:58.186 --> 01:02:59.607
That's got a strange aftertaste.

01:03:01.349 --> 01:03:03.331
I'm sure I can... Mmm.

01:03:03.471 --> 01:03:03.931
What is that?

01:03:03.951 --> 01:03:05.232
There's a peculiar taste in there.

01:03:05.933 --> 01:03:08.716
I think it might be... I don't know, Simon Trier's fate.

01:03:11.519 --> 01:03:13.040
It's quite ugly, it is.

01:03:14.582 --> 01:03:15.923
I think it might be strictening.

01:03:16.724 --> 01:03:18.406
It's not making me feel very chill.

01:03:18.966 --> 01:03:20.546
It's making me feel worried.

01:03:20.566 --> 01:03:22.727
I mean a dead person could be described as chilled.

01:03:23.547 --> 01:03:24.187
Couldn't they?

01:03:24.267 --> 01:03:24.807
Exactly.

01:03:24.887 --> 01:03:25.467
He's really chilled.

01:03:25.487 --> 01:03:27.148
So technically this would be a chill cake.

01:03:28.028 --> 01:03:28.988
To make someone dead.

01:03:29.488 --> 01:03:30.428
And cold.

01:03:34.229 --> 01:03:35.369
I just took another bite.

01:03:36.510 --> 01:03:40.270
I'm going to be sick.

01:03:40.990 --> 01:03:42.351
What is the aftertaste?

01:03:42.411 --> 01:03:42.771
Holy crap.

01:03:46.794 --> 01:03:48.376
If we die, this would be noble.

01:03:49.557 --> 01:03:50.818
Killed by a listener's cake.

01:03:51.058 --> 01:03:52.339
Listen, man, no disrespect.

01:03:52.379 --> 01:03:53.420
Who made the chill cake?

01:03:53.901 --> 01:03:55.362
You know when you can't swallow something?

01:03:55.382 --> 01:03:55.702
Yeah.

01:03:55.722 --> 01:03:59.846
And you're just playing for time by over-mancy cake.

01:04:00.687 --> 01:04:01.868
It's very curious.

01:04:03.269 --> 01:04:04.210
Who made the chill cake?

01:04:04.230 --> 01:04:04.971
I need some water.

01:04:05.391 --> 01:04:06.372
Tom Wilkinson.

01:04:07.553 --> 01:04:08.454
From H.M.

01:04:08.554 --> 01:04:08.954
Prison.

01:04:09.455 --> 01:04:09.715
What?

01:04:10.756 --> 01:04:10.896
No.

01:04:12.977 --> 01:04:13.317
I don't know.

01:04:13.377 --> 01:04:14.118
Tom, that's delicious.

01:04:14.138 --> 01:04:14.878
I'm sure it's fine.

01:04:14.918 --> 01:04:15.638
It's absolutely fine.

01:04:15.858 --> 01:04:16.538
Yeah, it's fine.

01:04:16.578 --> 01:04:16.978
It's fine.

01:04:17.018 --> 01:04:20.839
Listen, here are some text-to-nations on account of the jingle we played a second ago.

01:04:20.919 --> 01:04:25.341
It's all about repurposing famous names for household use.

01:04:26.141 --> 01:04:31.282
Simon and Amy in York say, a while ago, I couldn't remember the word for the person that delivers letters.

01:04:31.322 --> 01:04:33.083
The best I could come up with was Letterman.

01:04:33.703 --> 01:04:37.684
We now call the postman David, as in the popular US chat show host David Letterman.

01:04:39.624 --> 01:04:41.445
Adam's vomited his cake up.

01:04:41.765 --> 01:04:42.445
Did you swallow it?

01:04:43.186 --> 01:04:44.246
You didn't even swallow it.

01:04:44.986 --> 01:04:46.307
Ben's bringing the bin over.

01:04:46.327 --> 01:04:49.148
Adam's putting his chill cake in the bin.

01:04:49.568 --> 01:04:51.328
I ate my chill cake, for God's sake.

01:04:51.348 --> 01:04:52.909
Did you swallow any of it?

01:04:53.229 --> 01:04:57.210
I swallowed some, but I took another bite because I liked the look of the middle part.

01:04:57.250 --> 01:04:58.251
Just a second bite.

01:04:58.491 --> 01:05:04.613
But then it just... I thought it was a creamy filling, but it was just like a gob of butter or something.

01:05:05.293 --> 01:05:07.074
That's not a nice way to describe butter.

01:05:07.314 --> 01:05:07.634
No.

01:05:07.955 --> 01:05:08.375
A gob.

01:05:09.355 --> 01:05:09.655
Anyway.

01:05:09.756 --> 01:05:10.456
You mean a knob?

01:05:11.336 --> 01:05:12.177
No, it was more like a gob.

01:05:12.597 --> 01:05:13.518
It was more like a gob.

01:05:13.538 --> 01:05:14.578
It was more like a gob.

01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:16.359
Hello, Adam and Jo.

01:05:16.379 --> 01:05:24.364
I think this example may be rather obvious and commonly used, but when it rains, I like to ask my lovely wife to bring her Natalie Imbruglia.

01:05:25.208 --> 01:05:26.589
Is that supposed to sound like umbrella?

01:05:26.609 --> 01:05:28.009
Umbrella, that's very tenuous.

01:05:28.209 --> 01:05:30.950
Well, this person says it's obvious and commonly used.

01:05:31.190 --> 01:05:32.091
You're umbrella.

01:05:32.171 --> 01:05:34.091
I'm br- I'm br- naturally I'm braglia.

01:05:34.151 --> 01:05:34.932
I am braglia.

01:05:35.972 --> 01:05:37.813
All the best-selling partner in London.

01:05:38.053 --> 01:05:39.533
This might be a rubbish taxonation.

01:05:39.593 --> 01:05:40.414
Sometimes it happens.

01:05:40.614 --> 01:05:42.374
Someone did send in an email.

01:05:42.394 --> 01:05:43.755
That is just not Boris Gudnoff.

01:05:44.555 --> 01:05:46.236
You see, that's more like it, you know?

01:05:46.256 --> 01:05:47.976
Here's another one.

01:05:48.096 --> 01:05:48.936
You know the Czar, right?

01:05:49.356 --> 01:05:49.957
In the 1500s?

01:05:50.337 --> 01:05:51.577
From Melissa in Beckenham.

01:05:52.117 --> 01:05:52.797
Hello, Adam and Jo.

01:05:52.817 --> 01:05:56.258
When my husband Brian thinks something's good, he doesn't just say awesome.

01:05:56.578 --> 01:05:57.579
He says awesome Wells.

01:05:57.939 --> 01:05:58.279
Nice.

01:05:58.499 --> 01:05:59.199
That's quite a good one.

01:05:59.219 --> 01:05:59.639
That's a good one.

01:05:59.659 --> 01:06:01.640
That's a common and good and solid one.

01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:03.220
My Natalie in Bruglia.

01:06:04.801 --> 01:06:06.621
Hi, Adam and Jo.

01:06:06.641 --> 01:06:11.262
When getting a drink in the pub, I say, I'm getting an Alec, as in Alec Guinness.

01:06:11.422 --> 01:06:12.183
Oh, yeah.

01:06:12.223 --> 01:06:13.423
That's one we've used before.

01:06:13.743 --> 01:06:15.124
Get a pint of Alec Guinness!

01:06:15.144 --> 01:06:16.024
Listen, this is a good one.

01:06:16.064 --> 01:06:16.724
This is getting better.

01:06:16.804 --> 01:06:18.365
Neil from Kent hired him and Joe.

01:06:18.385 --> 01:06:24.928
When I put the surround sound on whilst watching a film, I often say, I'm watching a film with a Susan Surround sound on.

01:06:24.968 --> 01:06:26.068
That's a good one.

01:06:26.088 --> 01:06:27.209
Susan Surround sound.

01:06:27.489 --> 01:06:28.249
I haven't heard that.

01:06:29.170 --> 01:06:31.050
Susan Surround sound.

01:06:31.090 --> 01:06:36.453
When I'm feeling particularly gassy, after drinking lots of fizzy pop, I'll describe myself as being gaseous clay.

01:06:36.993 --> 01:06:37.453
Nice.

01:06:37.693 --> 01:06:38.073
Yeah.

01:06:39.774 --> 01:06:42.115
At work, we say, two Alans in my tea, please.

01:06:43.428 --> 01:06:43.748
Sugar.

01:06:45.690 --> 01:06:46.311
Who's that one from?

01:06:47.712 --> 01:06:48.593
Joe in Tallest Hill.

01:06:48.933 --> 01:06:50.074
I've had too much, Chill Pill.

01:06:50.234 --> 01:06:51.435
I've lost the will to live.

01:06:52.136 --> 01:06:52.697
The ability.

01:06:52.997 --> 01:06:53.778
Chill Pill, Chill Cake.

01:06:54.598 --> 01:07:05.608
Finally, for this segment, Tilly says, Hi Adam and Joe, when we want to suggest having a glass or two of wine, my boyfriend and I suggest having some Avril.

01:07:06.309 --> 01:07:07.750
Wine equals LaVin.

01:07:08.651 --> 01:07:11.614
The French mispronounced as LaVin equals Avril LaVin.

01:07:12.014 --> 01:07:13.355
That's All Love You by Tilly.

01:07:13.795 --> 01:07:16.818
I mean, that's the same kind of logic process as your Biafah.

01:07:17.278 --> 01:07:18.139
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:07:18.680 --> 01:07:19.000
Good stuff!

01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:20.361
Okay, here's a record.

01:07:20.401 --> 01:07:22.002
Dela Sol with break-a-dorn.

01:07:22.183 --> 01:07:24.224
That was Dela Sol with break-a-dorn?

01:07:24.745 --> 01:07:28.608
That's a sample from a Michael Jackson record, you know, from his album Invincible.

01:07:28.848 --> 01:07:30.449
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

01:07:30.530 --> 01:07:33.652
Nah, the break-a-dorn, the actual singing of break-a-dorn, yeah.

01:07:33.672 --> 01:07:34.193
Oh, you see.

01:07:34.926 --> 01:07:37.429
What's the la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la?

01:07:37.469 --> 01:07:38.150
Get jiggy with it.

01:07:38.190 --> 01:07:42.917
Yeah, that's the same sample as the Fresh Prince used, isn't it?

01:07:43.137 --> 01:07:45.580
We've asked that before and people told us instantly.

01:07:45.640 --> 01:07:46.902
It's a very famous disco record.

01:07:49.906 --> 01:07:53.710
Listeners, we should remind you about, oh, we're not supposed to do this this link, are we?

01:07:54.071 --> 01:07:54.652
Can we do it?

01:07:54.712 --> 01:07:56.874
No, we're going to do it the next link, because we don't have the factoid.

01:07:56.914 --> 01:07:58.196
So we're not going to remind you about anything.

01:07:58.316 --> 01:07:58.736
Forget it.

01:07:58.756 --> 01:07:59.337
Forget it.

01:07:59.497 --> 01:08:01.560
In that case, I want to talk accents with you.

01:08:01.700 --> 01:08:01.900
Good.

01:08:02.020 --> 01:08:02.200
Right.

01:08:02.461 --> 01:08:05.124
Ben, if you've got those accent clips on hand there.

01:08:05.964 --> 01:08:11.567
Now, this was sent to me by someone earlier – well, sent to both of us by someone earlier in the week.

01:08:12.127 --> 01:08:12.708
Where is the name?

01:08:12.748 --> 01:08:13.668
Oh, yes, Paul Barton.

01:08:13.808 --> 01:08:15.529
He made me aware of this, sent me a link to this.

01:08:16.069 --> 01:08:25.054
And, you know, we're fans of strange accents on this programme, and there's nothing more enjoyable, I find, than an American doing quite a strange British accent.

01:08:25.134 --> 01:08:26.095
It doesn't happen very often.

01:08:26.115 --> 01:08:28.276
There's a lot of Brits doing bad American accents.

01:08:30.278 --> 01:08:34.644
But not so many Americans doing terrible British shows.

01:08:34.664 --> 01:08:34.964
I don't know.

01:08:35.465 --> 01:08:35.705
Really?

01:08:36.006 --> 01:08:36.707
Who can you think of?

01:08:36.907 --> 01:08:39.491
Well, I can think of, mind you, he's actually British.

01:08:39.531 --> 01:08:43.977
I always think of Charlie Hannon in the film Green Street that we played weeks ago.

01:08:43.997 --> 01:08:44.357
Oh yeah.

01:08:44.437 --> 01:08:45.439
But he's actually British.

01:08:45.499 --> 01:08:45.980
Is he really?

01:08:46.420 --> 01:08:46.920
thing, yeah.

01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:49.861
What, as your Northerner is, and he's just doing a strange cockney accent.

01:08:49.901 --> 01:08:50.721
Yeah, exactly.

01:08:51.281 --> 01:08:52.741
So, okay, I'll accept the premise here.

01:08:52.761 --> 01:08:54.101
Definitely, you don't get so many of them.

01:08:54.362 --> 01:08:59.983
I mean, the Americans generally do a pretty good British accent, but there's a woman on the internet, on YouTube, I saw this clip.

01:09:00.063 --> 01:09:02.303
She's setting herself up as a dialogue coach.

01:09:03.083 --> 01:09:06.524
So you would think someone who would pretty much have nailed the British accent.

01:09:07.344 --> 01:09:11.465
And I'll play you a couple of clips right now of her talking you through it.

01:09:11.825 --> 01:09:12.565
Here's the first one.

01:09:13.018 --> 01:09:14.499
Now let's practice the shorto.

01:09:14.619 --> 01:09:17.041
And again, I'll give you words and sentences.

01:09:17.542 --> 01:09:22.206
I'll say them standard American first, followed up with the British dialect.

01:09:23.006 --> 01:09:24.848
Hot, hot.

01:09:26.289 --> 01:09:28.090
Coffee, coffee.

01:09:29.251 --> 01:09:31.233
Fought, fought.

01:09:32.194 --> 01:09:34.115
Barbie, bobbie.

01:09:35.216 --> 01:09:36.978
Not, not.

01:09:37.912 --> 01:09:46.758
So, she gets not fairly well, but her model seems to be sort of Mary Poppins era British aristocracy.

01:09:47.979 --> 01:09:50.541
When is that, like Edwardian or Victorian or something?

01:09:51.541 --> 01:10:00.627
And she's not really aware of how modern British people, like at least people like Gwyneth Paltrow, even though they do tend to do the slightly kind of Notting Hill voice.

01:10:02.069 --> 01:10:05.351
They don't really move around that much as far as the accent goes.

01:10:05.932 --> 01:10:07.233
They're pretty good on that accent.

01:10:07.273 --> 01:10:08.093
They're very good, you know.

01:10:08.113 --> 01:10:08.994
It's amazing, isn't it?

01:10:09.334 --> 01:10:12.697
But she's not really got to grips with the whole thing.

01:10:12.717 --> 01:10:16.680
She gives us a few more examples and integrates some of those words into sentences here.

01:10:17.541 --> 01:10:18.621
Now some sentences.

01:10:19.282 --> 01:10:22.564
Lost coffee is not to be fought over.

01:10:23.605 --> 01:10:26.407
Lost coffee is not to be fought over.

01:10:27.328 --> 01:10:29.330
The dog was lost in the fog.

01:10:31.172 --> 01:10:33.634
The dog was lost in the fog.

01:10:34.635 --> 01:10:38.297
The loft smelled like strong coffee.

01:10:39.418 --> 01:10:41.620
The loft smelled like strong coffee.

01:10:42.220 --> 01:10:42.921
Oh, coffee.

01:10:43.141 --> 01:10:43.501
Coffee.

01:10:43.521 --> 01:10:45.483
She's got coffee wrong, hasn't she?

01:10:45.523 --> 01:10:50.847
No, it's not that bad on some of it, but it's a particular type of English person, as you say, isn't it?

01:10:50.867 --> 01:10:51.588
That's what I'm saying, yeah.

01:10:52.088 --> 01:10:55.010
Come for a kind of Lord of the Manor, Lord Snooty kind of deal.

01:10:55.110 --> 01:10:57.412
The loft smells of strong coffee.

01:10:57.432 --> 01:11:00.113
But that's what Americans like to imagine Britain as, right?

01:11:00.133 --> 01:11:00.393
Yeah.

01:11:00.733 --> 01:11:03.213
Kind of a green and pleasant land full of stately homes?

01:11:03.233 --> 01:11:04.074
Who says Coughare?

01:11:04.354 --> 01:11:04.814
Coughare.

01:11:05.094 --> 01:11:05.994
I've never heard any.

01:11:06.054 --> 01:11:07.474
Not even a Lord of the Manus has come.

01:11:07.494 --> 01:11:10.915
Do you think if you went to America and started talking like that?

01:11:11.035 --> 01:11:11.315
Yes.

01:11:11.615 --> 01:11:14.516
That people wouldn't think it was on your job at all.

01:11:15.656 --> 01:11:16.837
I love your accent.

01:11:16.897 --> 01:11:17.957
Where are you from?

01:11:18.097 --> 01:11:21.758
I'm from the Coughare-making capital of London.

01:11:21.858 --> 01:11:25.619
I have a dog, but unfortunately the dog is lost in the fog.

01:11:26.739 --> 01:11:31.221
Luckily, it smells of strong coffee, so I'm able to look at it quite easily.

01:11:32.982 --> 01:11:33.922
How could we test this?

01:11:34.263 --> 01:11:36.524
We could telephone America and talk like that.

01:11:36.744 --> 01:11:37.024
Yeah.

01:11:37.324 --> 01:11:39.025
And see whether anybody responded.

01:11:39.065 --> 01:11:42.046
You can't make calls like that on the castle anymore, though, can you?

01:11:42.986 --> 01:11:46.368
We could call America and speak in American accent.

01:11:46.888 --> 01:11:48.850
Can't we just phone like a shop in America?

01:11:48.930 --> 01:11:51.291
No, it would have to be pre-recorded the castle.

01:11:51.391 --> 01:11:52.992
What if we said something awful?

01:11:53.873 --> 01:11:54.754
That'd be a scandal.

01:11:54.794 --> 01:11:55.554
A scandal, scandal.

01:11:55.574 --> 01:11:56.235
It's a scandal.

01:11:56.315 --> 01:11:57.956
But we could pre-record that one week.

01:11:58.036 --> 01:11:59.076
Okay, let's try to do that.

01:11:59.397 --> 01:12:01.398
Anyway, in the meantime, I've done a little song.

01:12:01.778 --> 01:12:02.159
Oh, good one.

01:12:02.179 --> 01:12:04.320
Because I like the dog is lost in the form.

01:12:05.120 --> 01:12:13.166
And, you know, there was a time in the dawn of house when like people used to make house tracks all the time that just sampled little bits of speech.

01:12:13.186 --> 01:12:15.127
They don't do that so much anymore.

01:12:15.287 --> 01:12:15.728
I miss it.

01:12:18.309 --> 01:12:19.709
So, I've reinstated it for you now.

01:12:19.889 --> 01:12:21.990
It goes on for quite a long time, so you can chip in.

01:12:22.310 --> 01:12:25.871
What we might do is play a little bit and then put the whole thing on the blog if you're interested, listeners.

01:12:26.171 --> 01:12:27.791
So, Joe, I'm going to leave it up to you to chip in.

01:12:27.811 --> 01:12:29.712
All right, when this becomes too much.

01:12:29.772 --> 01:12:31.292
Yeah, when you feel that's appropriate.

01:12:31.332 --> 01:12:31.572
Cool.

01:12:33.313 --> 01:12:34.773
Now, let's practice the short out.

01:12:35.493 --> 01:12:37.954
And again, words and sentences.

01:12:38.834 --> 01:12:40.755
I'll say them standard American first.

01:13:20.118 --> 01:13:31.912
I'll say them standard American first Followed out with the British dialect coffee coffee not coffee

01:13:38.160 --> 01:13:41.423
If this went on for an hour, I would just let it play.

01:13:41.984 --> 01:13:42.264
Would you?

01:13:42.284 --> 01:13:42.725
Yeah.

01:13:43.305 --> 01:13:43.966
I feel it's that good.

01:13:44.206 --> 01:13:48.390
That's the same loop that I use in my This Week in Grazia song.

01:13:48.771 --> 01:13:49.171
Oh, is it?

01:13:49.552 --> 01:13:49.852
Yeah.

01:13:49.992 --> 01:13:50.853
That's a good one, isn't it?

01:13:51.153 --> 01:13:51.814
Euro House.

01:13:51.854 --> 01:13:52.875
It's mixed very well.

01:13:53.776 --> 01:13:54.637
Let's hear a bit more.

01:13:54.857 --> 01:13:55.758
What's happening now?

01:14:04.116 --> 01:14:04.797
That's good, that's good.

01:14:05.137 --> 01:14:09.942
I think that's good, I think that's giving people a flavour, an idea of what's going on there.

01:14:10.342 --> 01:14:12.464
And if you want to hear the whole of that, you could go to the blog.

01:14:12.565 --> 01:14:13.465
Yeah, go to the blog.

01:14:13.766 --> 01:14:19.451
Don't forget our podcast comes out on a Monday and we'll probably get that song uploaded on the blog thereabouts as well.

01:14:19.852 --> 01:14:21.273
Would you dance if that came on there?

01:14:21.333 --> 01:14:22.354
Sure I'd dance, yeah.

01:14:22.474 --> 01:14:23.455
Absolutely I'd dance.

01:14:24.356 --> 01:14:26.398
It could be a crazy dance, I do.

01:14:27.019 --> 01:14:27.980
But it would be a dance.

01:14:28.120 --> 01:14:29.402
Here's a free play for you listeners.

01:14:29.622 --> 01:14:33.007
Now, this is from one of those albums that's supposedly a classic album.

01:14:33.027 --> 01:14:33.908
It is a classic album.

01:14:34.268 --> 01:14:39.115
And you know, I dutifully went out and bought it when I read about it years ago and was told I should own a copy.

01:14:39.215 --> 01:14:40.877
It's Forever Changes by Love.

01:14:41.678 --> 01:14:42.680
And it's from 1967, I think.

01:14:45.203 --> 01:14:46.224
And I never listened to it.

01:14:46.324 --> 01:14:48.506
You know, I just had it sitting there in my record collection.

01:14:48.526 --> 01:14:49.087
Do you ever do that?

01:14:49.187 --> 01:14:50.909
Go out and buy an album that everyone says you should have?

01:14:51.489 --> 01:14:59.237
And you know, I was aware that it was quite good, but only this week have I got to grips with Forever Changes finally, after owning it for about 15 years.

01:14:59.637 --> 01:15:03.441
It's amazing, of course, and this is a track from it called The Red Telephone.

01:15:03.561 --> 01:15:06.023
There's a little bit of talking there at the end there, make you think about it.

01:15:06.343 --> 01:15:08.585
They don't sound very passionate about wanting their freedom.

01:15:09.005 --> 01:15:09.746
I want my freedom.

01:15:10.287 --> 01:15:11.608
Can I have my freedom, please?

01:15:11.628 --> 01:15:12.368
Freedom, please.

01:15:12.729 --> 01:15:13.910
I'm tired of this slavery.

01:15:14.070 --> 01:15:15.791
Oh my God, children gotta have their freedom.

01:15:16.512 --> 01:15:17.232
Freedom, please.

01:15:17.793 --> 01:15:18.193
Thank you.

01:15:18.413 --> 01:15:22.156
That was love with the red telephone.

01:15:22.437 --> 01:15:25.139
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music.

01:15:25.339 --> 01:15:27.120
Thank you so much for tuning in.

01:15:28.702 --> 01:15:31.544
What do you listen to during the week though, Joe, apart from 6 Music?

01:15:31.564 --> 01:15:31.884
6 Music.

01:15:31.904 --> 01:15:32.405
6 Music.

01:15:32.885 --> 01:15:36.627
On the radio are all kinds of different stuff.

01:15:37.087 --> 01:15:38.468
I like a lot of 6 Music.

01:15:38.528 --> 01:15:39.408
I love 6 Music.

01:15:39.428 --> 01:15:40.288
What's your favourite show?

01:15:41.589 --> 01:15:41.949
6 Music.

01:15:42.289 --> 01:15:43.030
Do you like it?

01:15:43.190 --> 01:15:43.910
I like it.

01:15:44.510 --> 01:15:45.471
No, but I like Resonance.

01:15:46.691 --> 01:15:48.612
I tend to have Resonance.

01:15:48.632 --> 01:15:50.653
I'll tell you how my settings are in my car.

01:15:51.153 --> 01:15:52.794
Number one is Capital Radio.

01:15:53.374 --> 01:15:54.055
Never listen to it.

01:15:54.935 --> 01:15:56.256
Number two is BBC London.

01:15:56.276 --> 01:15:57.036
Do you say the four?

01:15:57.076 --> 01:15:58.036
How you listen to Johnny Bourne?

01:15:58.056 --> 01:15:58.797
I try and listen to it.

01:15:58.897 --> 01:15:59.037
Yeah.

01:15:59.537 --> 01:16:00.838
Number two is BBC London.

01:16:01.238 --> 01:16:03.819
Number three is... Oh, what's number three?

01:16:03.979 --> 01:16:04.659
XFM, I think.

01:16:04.860 --> 01:16:05.020
Right.

01:16:05.200 --> 01:16:06.180
Number four is Radio 4.

01:16:06.520 --> 01:16:07.741
Number five is Choice FM.

01:16:08.041 --> 01:16:08.901
Number six is Resonance.

01:16:09.141 --> 01:16:10.802
And number seven is John Gaunt FM.

01:16:11.362 --> 01:16:11.563
Yeah.

01:16:11.623 --> 01:16:13.003
Non-stop Gaunt.

01:16:13.023 --> 01:16:14.024
24-hour Gaunt.

01:16:15.544 --> 01:16:16.505
Well... What do you ask?

01:16:17.105 --> 01:16:18.567
I'm just trying to film.

01:16:18.587 --> 01:16:18.967
That was it?

01:16:19.287 --> 01:16:20.248
Now we're going to go to the news.

01:16:20.448 --> 01:16:22.310
Yeah, well, I kind of wrapped it up a little early.

01:16:23.251 --> 01:16:23.872
I've got 25 seconds.

01:16:23.892 --> 01:16:24.672
What a weird lick.

01:16:25.333 --> 01:16:25.753
I know.

01:16:25.874 --> 01:16:26.875
Let's use that in a pocket.

01:16:26.975 --> 01:16:29.257
I know you really threw yourself into it as well.

01:16:29.317 --> 01:16:32.020
Well, I thought you were going to spin some magic out of it.

01:16:32.480 --> 01:16:33.781
Instead, it just ended.

01:16:33.861 --> 01:16:34.542
I thought I was too.

01:16:34.582 --> 01:16:38.025
You led a list of what my stations are in my car.

01:16:38.126 --> 01:16:39.307
Well, I can tell you what mine are.

01:16:39.827 --> 01:16:40.688
Let's go to the news.

01:16:40.808 --> 01:16:41.629
No, no, not yet.

01:16:41.749 --> 01:16:42.169
Listen.

01:16:42.310 --> 01:16:42.610
News.

01:16:42.790 --> 01:16:42.910
News.

01:16:43.090 --> 01:16:43.811
Radio 1.

01:16:43.931 --> 01:16:44.732
Here's the news.

01:16:44.812 --> 01:16:45.072
Radio 2.

01:16:45.112 --> 01:16:45.413
Ben.

01:16:45.653 --> 01:16:47.935
Well, the good old days, the Libertines.

01:16:48.456 --> 01:16:53.200
Time for heroes when they were bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, hadn't burgled anyone yet.

01:16:54.682 --> 01:16:55.883
That was a fun time.

01:16:56.536 --> 01:16:56.776
back then.

01:16:56.796 --> 01:16:58.718
This is Adam and Jo here on BBC6 Music.

01:16:58.978 --> 01:17:01.980
We haven't done any pro-creation for a while, have we?

01:17:02.061 --> 01:17:03.181
Pop-pro-creation?

01:17:03.682 --> 01:17:06.404
It's the hardest feature to actually say on the programme.

01:17:07.285 --> 01:17:10.287
Let's play the jingle and then we can get into it and explain if you don't know what we're on about.

01:17:10.327 --> 01:17:16.933
I like to change the lyrics of songs from time to time.

01:17:16.953 --> 01:17:22.657
Love the taskbar to make them refer to things I do.

01:17:26.069 --> 01:17:37.860
I call it hope hope creation and as far as I'm aware it isn't a crime I wonder if it's something you do too

01:17:42.699 --> 01:17:43.039
There you go.

01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:47.162
So that's pretty much explained the pop-ro creation segment there.

01:17:47.182 --> 01:17:48.883
We've set out the stall fairly clearly.

01:17:49.143 --> 01:17:50.224
Yeah, just give an example.

01:17:50.284 --> 01:17:51.285
It'll soon become apparent.

01:17:51.305 --> 01:17:58.289
Well, here's an example that I was doing earlier in the week, again, when I was wandering around White City in the west area of London.

01:17:58.790 --> 01:18:00.951
There was a... Well, is this another visit there?

01:18:01.552 --> 01:18:02.272
A second visit.

01:18:02.332 --> 01:18:03.213
Is it a weekly thing?

01:18:03.233 --> 01:18:04.373
I just wander around there.

01:18:04.393 --> 01:18:04.874
I love it there.

01:18:04.894 --> 01:18:05.134
Do you?

01:18:05.154 --> 01:18:06.115
They've got free Wi-Fi.

01:18:06.135 --> 01:18:06.595
What are you doing?

01:18:06.615 --> 01:18:08.116
Are you working at the BBC or something?

01:18:08.721 --> 01:18:10.543
Oh, no, I'm staying nearby when I'm in London.

01:18:10.703 --> 01:18:11.063
Right.

01:18:11.083 --> 01:18:12.985
Because we don't have our house in South London anymore.

01:18:13.005 --> 01:18:13.285
Right.

01:18:13.646 --> 01:18:15.567
So I'm staying with a friend in West London.

01:18:15.627 --> 01:18:15.888
Right.

01:18:15.968 --> 01:18:16.468
A friend?

01:18:16.628 --> 01:18:16.929
Yeah.

01:18:16.989 --> 01:18:19.111
So I walk around West... You've got another friend.

01:18:19.151 --> 01:18:20.332
I'm having an affair.

01:18:20.852 --> 01:18:21.333
With who?

01:18:22.353 --> 01:18:24.135
I didn't really want this to come out on the show.

01:18:24.696 --> 01:18:25.616
Adrian Charles.

01:18:25.837 --> 01:18:26.817
Adrian Charles.

01:18:27.158 --> 01:18:27.999
That's sexy.

01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:29.600
He's having my love, Charles.

01:18:30.941 --> 01:18:32.042
You see, you dragged all this.

01:18:32.062 --> 01:18:34.725
I never wanted any of this to come out on the programme.

01:18:35.486 --> 01:18:45.102
So I was back at Westfield and they've got a library there, a new library, and there's a sign in the window that says, more than a library, so I can't help singing.

01:18:46.158 --> 01:18:47.439
More than a library.

01:18:47.519 --> 01:18:48.180
That's good.

01:18:48.500 --> 01:18:50.301
More than a library.

01:18:50.381 --> 01:18:52.623
Is it like a council library?

01:18:53.724 --> 01:18:54.745
In a shopping centre?

01:18:54.945 --> 01:18:56.847
It's just on the periphery of the shopping centre.

01:18:57.027 --> 01:18:58.628
Okay, but it's a real proper library.

01:18:58.648 --> 01:18:59.168
As far as I can tell.

01:18:59.188 --> 01:19:01.510
It's not like in some weird commercial-sponsored private library.

01:19:01.530 --> 01:19:04.052
I can't see that many books, but maybe it's digital.

01:19:04.353 --> 01:19:06.995
I thought the British government were trying to ban libraries.

01:19:07.415 --> 01:19:08.116
They're doing their best.

01:19:08.236 --> 01:19:12.121
They do their best in the year after year, but the public won't stand for it quite rightly.

01:19:12.261 --> 01:19:14.544
More than a library.

01:19:14.684 --> 01:19:16.966
Libraries these days anyway, they're turning into kind of video shops.

01:19:17.006 --> 01:19:18.428
Get down to Westfield.

01:19:18.728 --> 01:19:19.790
I'm going off subject anyway.

01:19:19.810 --> 01:19:21.352
More than a library.

01:19:21.552 --> 01:19:23.694
That's more than a woman, of course, by the Bee Gees.

01:19:23.935 --> 01:19:24.615
Have you got one there?

01:19:24.856 --> 01:19:27.078
Yeah, this is a letter from Ali from Prestwick.

01:19:28.099 --> 01:19:46.577
As a way of teaching our cat, Bobo, to stop attacking and eating bees in the back garden, thus speeding their extinction and the inevitable collapse of civilisation, my partner Karen likes to sing, bees are good, bees are good, oh Bobo, bees are good, to the tune of the shaman classic Ebenezer Good.

01:19:46.637 --> 01:19:51.922
Personally, I prefer to sing on Awaking in the Morning and wishing to dispel the darkness of night.

01:19:52.950 --> 01:19:56.692
I'm rolling the blind up to the tune of making your mind up by Buck's Fizz.

01:19:56.712 --> 01:19:57.693
Good pop appropriation.

01:19:58.133 --> 01:19:59.033
Ali from Prestwick.

01:19:59.193 --> 01:19:59.774
Very good.

01:19:59.894 --> 01:20:04.176
I don't suppose anyone's ever appropriated making your mind up by Buck's Fizz before.

01:20:04.296 --> 01:20:04.816
Bees are good.

01:20:04.936 --> 01:20:05.437
Bees are good.

01:20:05.717 --> 01:20:06.557
Oh bobo bees are good.

01:20:06.717 --> 01:20:10.239
Actually they must have done like even if someone's just a little bit indecisive.

01:20:10.419 --> 01:20:13.221
It's the use of oh bobo there I think really elevates that.

01:20:13.241 --> 01:20:16.803
I think that's an absolute prime slice of pop appropriation.

01:20:17.663 --> 01:20:18.704
Here's one from James.

01:20:19.044 --> 01:20:23.448
He says, a while ago I was working for a mortgage company in Sydney Australia answering the phone.

01:20:23.848 --> 01:20:26.190
I worked with a lady called Edna who was quite bossy.

01:20:26.570 --> 01:20:28.512
One day she got a new trainee called Ben.

01:20:28.992 --> 01:20:39.100
The managers all had to listen to their trainees phone calls on a separate headset and if they made a mistake they were supposed to patch in, introduce themselves and explain that it was a training call, right?

01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:46.146
Most of them didn't really bother but Edna would listen to every one of Ben's calls and on about every third one she would patch through and say,

01:20:46.826 --> 01:20:49.689
Hi, my name's Edna, and I'm training Ben.

01:20:50.150 --> 01:20:55.536
Every time she would do this, I had to suppress the urge to jump up and sing, she's training Ben.

01:20:55.556 --> 01:20:58.339
Hallelujah, she's training Ben.

01:20:58.359 --> 01:20:59.681
Amen.

01:20:59.701 --> 01:21:00.442
That's a good one.

01:21:00.462 --> 01:21:04.166
I like the technical explanation as well.

01:21:04.186 --> 01:21:04.987
It's very specific.

01:21:05.687 --> 01:21:06.789
Thank you very much, James.

01:21:08.351 --> 01:21:08.971
That was great.

01:21:09.292 --> 01:21:10.073
Have you got another one there?

01:21:10.113 --> 01:21:10.613
No, I have not.

01:21:10.673 --> 01:21:13.637
I've got one final quick one, which is quite a good obvious one.

01:21:14.558 --> 01:21:20.005
Sam Jordan says, does anyone else sing to the tune of Paperback Writer every time they open PDF Writer?

01:21:20.802 --> 01:21:23.504
PDF writer.

01:21:23.564 --> 01:21:24.845
Sure they do.

01:21:25.225 --> 01:21:26.146
Good bit of software.

01:21:26.286 --> 01:21:26.846
Great song.

01:21:27.166 --> 01:21:27.767
Thanks for those.

01:21:27.787 --> 01:21:31.589
Yeah, if you've got a appropriation that you use, you can email us.

01:21:31.870 --> 01:21:34.711
Now we haven't been provided with a piece of paper with the email line.

01:21:34.772 --> 01:21:35.952
I can remember it with my mind.

01:21:36.172 --> 01:21:36.453
Do it.

01:21:36.753 --> 01:21:44.018
Adamandjo.6musicatbbc.co.uk Yeah, please send it to us.

01:21:44.918 --> 01:21:49.482
Or there's still 15, 17 minutes of the show left and the text number is 64046.

01:21:49.522 --> 01:21:50.082
You've done well.

01:21:50.242 --> 01:21:50.703
I remember that.

01:21:50.723 --> 01:21:51.163
It's taken months.

01:21:51.263 --> 01:21:54.828
I mean, I've been really worried that my brain is just crossing.

01:21:54.988 --> 01:21:55.989
Yeah, getting away.

01:21:56.009 --> 01:21:57.071
Like my hard drive is full.

01:21:57.091 --> 01:21:58.072
Do you know what I mean?

01:21:58.172 --> 01:21:59.193
Can't retain any new information.

01:21:59.213 --> 01:21:59.834
What's fragmented?

01:21:59.854 --> 01:22:01.456
You need to defragment your hard drive.

01:22:01.476 --> 01:22:02.517
You need to defrag the brain.

01:22:02.798 --> 01:22:03.639
You need Dr. Norton.

01:22:03.839 --> 01:22:04.360
That's what I need.

01:22:04.380 --> 01:22:06.142
That would be good, wouldn't it, if you could do that?

01:22:06.182 --> 01:22:07.323
What if you could clear free space?

01:22:08.064 --> 01:22:09.145
A raised free space, you know?

01:22:09.165 --> 01:22:09.745
Absolutely.

01:22:09.945 --> 01:22:13.907
There must be a sooner... Hey, yes, sooner or later you'll be able to do that.

01:22:13.927 --> 01:22:26.613
Another thing that I've been feeling guilty about for the last few minutes is that I made a big play out of saying, Gaz and Danny are on Tomorrow on 6 Music at 3.30, but it's not Supergrass because it's not all three members of the group I was saying.

01:22:26.633 --> 01:22:28.814
There's four members in Supergrass, of course.

01:22:29.114 --> 01:22:30.695
There's Gaz's brother, isn't he his brother?

01:22:31.455 --> 01:22:33.417
Richard, I think he's called, I'm not sure, the keyboard player.

01:22:33.837 --> 01:22:40.303
Anyway, so I was trying to, you know, not disrespect Mickey Quinn, but in the end, I disrespected the keyboard guy.

01:22:40.463 --> 01:22:42.905
So sorry about that, extra members of Supergrass.

01:22:44.005 --> 01:22:46.247
Right now, here's a trail for Sean Keaveney.

01:22:46.307 --> 01:22:48.970
This is the Flaming Lips there with silver trembling hands.

01:22:49.130 --> 01:22:50.271
You know that Chill Cakers?

01:22:51.031 --> 01:22:52.132
Seeped into my paws.

01:22:52.152 --> 01:22:53.173
Like, they were so buttery.

01:22:53.193 --> 01:22:55.414
Do you ever get that, like, after you've eaten something very buttery?

01:22:55.935 --> 01:23:00.078
You smell of butter and milk and stuff in quite an unpleasant way for a while.

01:23:00.098 --> 01:23:02.840
Well, look, I think Tom Williamson is probably a very nice chap.

01:23:02.880 --> 01:23:04.301
We should give him the benefit of the doubt.

01:23:04.361 --> 01:23:06.002
I don't think it's poisoned in any way.

01:23:06.202 --> 01:23:06.622
No, no.

01:23:06.662 --> 01:23:11.526
And I don't think we should be too rude about the chap's cake, because he maked it and baked it and sent it.

01:23:11.666 --> 01:23:13.027
I know, it was really a nice gesture.

01:23:13.147 --> 01:23:13.627
And all that stuff.

01:23:13.807 --> 01:23:14.868
And you are being quite rude.

01:23:14.968 --> 01:23:15.268
Really?

01:23:15.589 --> 01:23:16.409
You're attacking him?

01:23:16.449 --> 01:23:17.070
You started it.

01:23:17.470 --> 01:23:18.431
You finished it.

01:23:19.452 --> 01:23:27.198
And if you start the destruction, it can always be repaired, but the person who finishes it is the worst one.

01:23:28.619 --> 01:23:31.542
So listen, talking of worst ones, it's text the nation time.

01:23:32.182 --> 01:23:34.544
I like the simple ones.

01:23:34.624 --> 01:23:39.929
One or two people have texted in saying Scott Mills did it years ago, and I know everybody does it, but

01:23:40.709 --> 01:23:45.353
Lots of stuff we do for Texanation other people do, but it's just we've got such brilliant listeners.

01:23:45.373 --> 01:23:50.757
They come up with stuff that's more incredible than... There's no way that Scott Mills got... Would Scott Mills have had this?

01:23:50.777 --> 01:23:51.938
Bees are good, bees are good.

01:23:52.899 --> 01:23:54.020
That wasn't Texanation though.

01:23:54.420 --> 01:23:54.721
Wasn't it?

01:23:54.741 --> 01:23:57.423
That was pot-propriation.

01:23:57.663 --> 01:23:59.865
This is from Matt in Birmingham.

01:23:59.885 --> 01:24:01.626
There's no way that Scott Mills had Boris Goodnoff.

01:24:01.646 --> 01:24:02.347
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:24:02.747 --> 01:24:05.149
Long life juice is known as LLJ.

01:24:05.309 --> 01:24:09.253
If it's in the cupboard, it's LL warm J. If it's in the fridge, it's LL cool J.

01:24:09.841 --> 01:24:11.882
Yes, take that scum now, Milsey!

01:24:12.782 --> 01:24:15.003
Here's one from Matt Richardson.

01:24:15.264 --> 01:24:16.244
I need the chill cake now.

01:24:16.404 --> 01:24:20.486
I enjoy calling people who have a tendency to go on a bit as Gabby Roslin.

01:24:21.824 --> 01:24:22.144
Gabby.

01:24:22.785 --> 01:24:23.085
Gabby.

01:24:26.567 --> 01:24:27.508
In your face, Mills!

01:24:27.528 --> 01:24:28.008
Okay.

01:24:28.088 --> 01:24:32.491
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it going.

01:24:32.731 --> 01:24:35.293
Okay, from Nolan, Fian, Broccoli.

01:24:35.753 --> 01:24:39.336
When we go to the shop, we always remind each other, have you got the Bilbo's?

01:24:39.536 --> 01:24:40.156
Bilbo Baggins.

01:24:40.397 --> 01:24:42.898
Bags, bags, bags, the Bilbo Baggins.

01:24:43.038 --> 01:24:43.138
Nice!

01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:43.939
Take that, Mills.

01:24:44.099 --> 01:24:45.340
Ooh, in the solar plexus.

01:24:47.523 --> 01:24:50.444
My mate used to call the TV remote the Frank after Frank Zappa.

01:24:51.164 --> 01:24:52.324
Does Zappa pass me the Frank?

01:24:52.404 --> 01:24:53.244
Yeah, like that, Mills.

01:24:54.364 --> 01:24:57.405
When we eat Palmer ham, we call it Brian after Brian department.

01:24:58.345 --> 01:25:01.386
It's got Mills crying in a corner.

01:25:01.406 --> 01:25:04.986
When my boyfriend has a cup of tea, he sometimes thinks of it as a Truman.

01:25:05.827 --> 01:25:06.887
As in Truman Capote.

01:25:07.347 --> 01:25:09.147
Okay, that takes the nation for this week.

01:25:09.407 --> 01:25:11.048
Thanks to everyone who's contributed.

01:25:11.668 --> 01:25:12.528
Here's a free play.

01:25:13.668 --> 01:25:17.130
This is from Femi Kuti and he's an Afrobeat man.

01:25:17.150 --> 01:25:18.591
Do you know about that sort of music Adam?

01:25:19.692 --> 01:25:20.452
Afrobeat.

01:25:20.512 --> 01:25:24.715
What qualifies Afrobeat as being distinct from any other genre of black music?

01:25:24.955 --> 01:25:27.136
It's from Africa in this particular.

01:25:27.156 --> 01:25:29.418
There's loads of different types of music from Africa though.

01:25:29.738 --> 01:25:31.939
Femi Kuti is of course the son of Fela Kuti.

01:25:32.260 --> 01:25:32.840
Oh is he?

01:25:32.980 --> 01:25:35.982
I always want to play some Fela Kuti but his tracks are so very long.

01:25:36.022 --> 01:25:37.042
They are really suitable.

01:25:37.162 --> 01:25:38.483
This is pretty good as well.

01:25:39.764 --> 01:25:42.105
Femi Kuti from his album Fight to Win in 2001.

01:25:42.345 --> 01:25:44.026
This is called The Choice is Yours.

01:25:44.166 --> 01:25:44.806
That is amazing.

01:25:44.826 --> 01:25:46.707
That's like it's been all speeded up, isn't it?

01:25:46.727 --> 01:25:47.067
Brilliant.

01:25:47.147 --> 01:25:50.848
Femi Kuti there with The Choice is Yours from his 2001 album Fight to Win.

01:25:51.329 --> 01:25:57.891
Hey, we should just plug the Electric Prom Song Wars event that's taking place on the 22nd of October at the London Roundhouse.

01:25:57.931 --> 01:25:59.452
It's like two weeks or something, isn't it?

01:25:59.472 --> 01:26:00.212
It's two weeks.

01:26:00.392 --> 01:26:00.972
Oh, God.

01:26:00.992 --> 01:26:03.813
There's going to be videos, live performances.

01:26:05.354 --> 01:26:07.175
And the Song Wars competition winners.

01:26:07.215 --> 01:26:08.296
Nice enthusiasm.

01:26:08.336 --> 01:26:08.616
Thanks.

01:26:08.676 --> 01:26:11.398
Well, I got to be honest.

01:26:12.559 --> 01:26:15.121
The application period for tickets has already passed.

01:26:15.301 --> 01:26:17.322
No further tickets are available for the event.

01:26:17.723 --> 01:26:23.807
And if you want to enter the Song Wars competition, you have to get your entry in by 4pm on Wednesday the 14th of October.

01:26:23.827 --> 01:26:25.008
I'm just feeling a bit queasy.

01:26:25.028 --> 01:26:27.689
The chill cake is still causing problems.

01:26:27.709 --> 01:26:29.671
Are you nervous because it's a live thing we're doing?

01:26:30.151 --> 01:26:31.052
Yeah, you know me.

01:26:31.112 --> 01:26:33.695
I don't really like... You don't relish the live appearances.

01:26:33.715 --> 01:26:34.936
No, not really.

01:26:35.317 --> 01:26:35.897
No.

01:26:36.177 --> 01:26:36.998
Anyway, but this will be fun.

01:26:37.038 --> 01:26:37.539
It'll be fun.

01:26:37.799 --> 01:26:41.303
You know the thing that's going to be nice about this is it'll be purely listeners to the show and the audience.

01:26:41.323 --> 01:26:41.663
Yeah, yeah.

01:26:41.683 --> 01:26:42.364
They'll be friendly.

01:26:42.664 --> 01:26:43.325
They'll be good.

01:26:43.365 --> 01:26:44.666
We'll make... It'll be fun.

01:26:44.746 --> 01:26:45.207
It'll be fun.

01:26:45.427 --> 01:26:47.549
We'll make a joke out of the fact that you're a little bit nervous.

01:26:47.789 --> 01:26:50.512
Listen, when we were at Glastonbury, you were great.

01:26:50.772 --> 01:26:51.673
Well, that's the other thing.

01:26:51.693 --> 01:26:53.235
You know, once I get out there, I'll switch the other way.

01:26:53.335 --> 01:26:53.835
Yeah.

01:26:53.875 --> 01:26:54.996
I'll get overconfident.

01:26:55.016 --> 01:26:57.359
Aggressively overconfident and ruin the whole thing.

01:26:57.379 --> 01:27:01.222
But listen, we have had so far a grand total of 18 entries in total.

01:27:02.884 --> 01:27:23.230
There have been 18 entries to our song wars competition where we ask you to check out our website where you will find karaoke versions of two song wars songs We want you to perform them karaoke style video it send us a link to that video and then the best performances will join us on stage at that event and Perform with us or something else.

01:27:23.270 --> 01:27:25.451
I'll be part of the chaos sing along to the song exactly

01:27:25.951 --> 01:27:46.271
uh last week we had nine well hang on no what's going on here the first week we had none entries second week we had nine yeah and that was not very many for my quantum of solace song and quite a lot for nutty room and then we had another nine we've had eight entries in the last week all right two nutty room entries and six quantum of solaces nice so that's good things are a little more balanced now

01:27:46.731 --> 01:27:49.732
It's nine Nutty Room attempts versus nine Quantum of Solace attempts.

01:27:49.752 --> 01:27:51.972
Have you seen any of your new Quantum of Solace attempts?

01:27:51.992 --> 01:27:52.232
I haven't.

01:27:52.252 --> 01:27:53.912
I'm going to go check them out after the show.

01:27:54.073 --> 01:27:57.313
But it's still a very open goal, so please enter it.

01:27:58.493 --> 01:28:01.214
Yeah, you've got until 4pm on Wednesday the 14th of October.

01:28:01.534 --> 01:28:02.654
It is an open goal, yeah.

01:28:02.674 --> 01:28:06.755
Because technically we've had 18 entries to the competition.

01:28:07.095 --> 01:28:07.635
What do you say?

01:28:07.655 --> 01:28:09.256
It's not good.

01:28:09.336 --> 01:28:09.916
It's not really.

01:28:10.056 --> 01:28:10.736
Not very many.

01:28:10.796 --> 01:28:11.336
That's alright.

01:28:11.946 --> 01:28:15.947
I mean, what we have had have been very, very good.

01:28:16.187 --> 01:28:18.908
Hey, do you want me to tell you something that might make you actually throw up?

01:28:19.308 --> 01:28:19.568
Why?

01:28:20.048 --> 01:28:24.549
Someone has pointed out, because that chill cake is really still, I'm still feeling it.

01:28:24.669 --> 01:28:25.109
Are you not?

01:28:25.549 --> 01:28:29.970
Yeah, I've got butter built up around my cheeks.

01:28:30.230 --> 01:28:34.411
Somebody called Mark in Luton says it probably tastes a bit funny because it was made with real whipped cream.

01:28:34.571 --> 01:28:37.672
It must be slightly off by now, which is a very good point.

01:28:38.092 --> 01:28:39.753
No, no, it only arrived yesterday.

01:28:40.153 --> 01:28:41.273
Did it only arrive yesterday?

01:28:41.693 --> 01:28:41.873
Yeah.

01:28:42.233 --> 01:28:42.733
We don't know.

01:28:42.813 --> 01:28:43.073
I don't.

01:28:43.113 --> 01:28:43.313
Did it?

01:28:43.353 --> 01:28:44.594
How do you know who's giving that information?

01:28:44.614 --> 01:28:46.954
Lucy and Chloe out there said it yesterday.

01:28:47.414 --> 01:28:49.295
So you think the cream is all right?

01:28:49.315 --> 01:28:51.615
He's not going to make a cake that's going to go off in one day.

01:28:51.635 --> 01:28:53.956
There's not whipped cream on top of the cake.

01:28:54.956 --> 01:29:00.177
It was a hard, dark chocolate carapace on top of the butter.

01:29:00.217 --> 01:29:02.138
Why do I feel so ill that... I don't know.

01:29:02.178 --> 01:29:05.038
I think maybe it's the... There was a strange consistency about it.

01:29:05.098 --> 01:29:08.159
We're not doing a good job of being less disrespectful to the guy who sent it though.

01:29:08.860 --> 01:29:09.180
Is that it?

01:29:09.200 --> 01:29:10.620
Then are we going to play a record and leave?

01:29:10.940 --> 01:29:11.441
Oh, is this it?

01:29:11.861 --> 01:29:12.321
End of the show?

01:29:12.341 --> 01:29:14.341
Yeah, thanks to everyone who's texted and emailed.

01:29:14.381 --> 01:29:15.461
Liz Kershaw's coming up.

01:29:15.501 --> 01:29:19.582
We may not be with you last week, because we might be dead on account of that chill cake next week.

01:29:19.662 --> 01:29:19.822
Yeah.

01:29:19.862 --> 01:29:20.102
I know.

01:29:20.142 --> 01:29:22.223
I might be in hospital with my flipping arms on as well.

01:29:22.283 --> 01:29:26.344
It doesn't look like Liz Kershaw.

01:29:26.364 --> 01:29:27.304
That's not... Who is that, Ben?

01:29:27.324 --> 01:29:28.184
Chris Hawkins.

01:29:28.204 --> 01:29:29.024
That's Chris Hawkins.

01:29:29.064 --> 01:29:31.385
We never see Chris, because he's here during the night.

01:29:31.405 --> 01:29:32.125
The Hawkman!

01:29:32.185 --> 01:29:32.625
Absolutely.

01:29:32.665 --> 01:29:32.965
He's coming up.

01:29:32.985 --> 01:29:34.245
Wow, we are in excellent hands.

01:29:34.305 --> 01:29:35.345
You are in excellent hands.

01:29:35.605 --> 01:29:36.466
Take care, listeners.

01:29:36.506 --> 01:29:37.146
Have a good week.

01:29:37.306 --> 01:29:37.626
We love you.

01:29:37.686 --> 01:29:37.926
Bye!

01:29:37.946 --> 01:29:38.006
Bye!
