5:17

wears them he's like I'm not I'm not wearing

5:19

the jar it's like and it was

5:21

a point where this is a generational thing

5:23

what do you mean he just wanted to stay in

5:25

his normal clothes oh I thought he was like I

5:27

always sleep in the nuddy and I'm not changing just

5:29

cuz I'm a business class I know that was what

5:31

he was doing I

5:34

5:41

airplane I was like no you can't sleep back

5:44

there this is a bed course you can

5:46

sleep here it's gonna go flat and sit

5:48

I was like that just just relax treat

5:50

yourself this is a treat as a president

5:52

you know you've worked hard for your whole

5:54

adult life this just relaxes what this is

5:57

and I sort of saw I had a

5:59

little nod off and I woke up about

6:02

three hours in and I sort of pulled

6:04

my eye mask down and had a

6:07

little look over that divide and my dad

6:09

is just sat bowl upright, he's not moving

6:11

his chair to the position it's

6:13

supposed to, sat bowl upright wide

6:16

awake watching

6:18

1973 on YouTube. No telly

6:21

on, no film, no TV,

6:23

just literally looking at nothing

6:26

Steve. Not looking at

6:28

the window, not looking at nothing. No we're on the

6:31

central two seats so there's nothing to look at and

6:33

he's just sat there looking at nothing and I said,

6:36

I said what are you doing? He went, I was thinking, I

6:39

said what about you? He's like, no I just you know, life

6:41

and the world and I thought that is,

6:44

when was the last time you just looked at

6:47

nothing? Well you

6:50

know, we don't get

6:52

time to look at nothing. No but even like. I

6:54

love to look at

6:56

nothing. I love to have the time to look

6:58

at nothing. Yeah but think about the world. When

7:00

you have that time, your phone's in your hand

7:03

and you play a game. No I've said it

7:05

before, you know, daydreaming, when

7:07

we were kids you just, you need daydreaming, your brain

7:09

switches off for a bit, you stare at something and

7:11

I don't know where you are, you're not thinking about

7:13

anything. I think your brain needs that. We don't get

7:15

that anymore, we just get that five minutes, you get

7:17

your phone in and have a look at Twitter. Because

7:19

that's it they say, because now they've had to

7:22

invent mindfulness, well we

7:24

just, mindfulness was just forced upon us when we

7:26

were kids. Yeah. That

7:28

was it, you were just looking out of a window,

7:30

looking at raindrops, reading

7:32

the back of the Domestos bottle on the toilet. We

7:35

should bring that back, not mind, just you

7:37

know, not under the, the mouth on the

7:39

sun browner, just proper daydreaming,

7:41

just like you said, staring at some water dripping

7:43

off a window sill. Yeah just looking out of

7:46

the window. Engrossed in it. That's what he

7:48

was doing. Anyway eventually I managed to get him, get

7:51

him sort of flat on his back And

7:54

he conked right out. It's still fully dressed in

7:56

his clothes. obviously. you can put the pyjamas on.

8:00

No, and then that and then he sped the

8:02

face of the weekend. Why the be more back

8:04

home? Who's

8:06

never been business as she was like she's

8:08

lot While I conceive your favorite pair and

8:10

9:52

closer to see if you gonna close

9:54

of a the because email is jason

9:57

at absolute radio dakota uk is the

9:59

email address This one is

10:01

from Heather who says,

10:03

Hi Jason, I'm an avid listener

10:05

to the show. Avid. Avid.

10:09

What does avid mean? I don't know. Just

10:12

really like, you know, always does it, always

10:14

listens. It says it. It's better than livid.

10:17

I'm a livid listener. I'm a livid listener.

10:19

Sorry, I read that wrong. I'm a livid

10:22

listener to the show. That's everybody who listens

10:24

and rings into talk sport. Yeah. Yeah. I'm

10:27

a livid listener. What pallets are doing? Avid

10:32

listener to the show. I've heard lots

10:34

about your legendary picnics. Well, we smash

10:36

a picnic, don't we, Steve? Oh,

10:38

we love a picnic. Love a picnic. Flastful

10:41

of hot dog sausages. Yes.

10:43

I didn't remember that. Yeah, that was a clip,

10:45

wasn't it? Somebody gave us. That was a good

10:47

tip. And yeah, I'm a big fan of the

10:49

bald egg, of course. And that is what this

10:52

question is about. It says, please can I ask

10:54

how best to boil and shell eggs? I'm

10:57

hopeless. And I end up taking chunks out

10:59

of the eggs when shelling. Okay. I

11:03

think it's all to do with the freshness of the egg, isn't it? I think

11:06

that's a big part of it. Because I think

11:08

the membrane between the shell and the, when

11:10

you get into the white, the albumen, where

11:13

it's called, I think that is, that

11:15

starts to be... Yeah, not now.

11:18

I think that starts to work. It's not a

11:20

word you use, usually. Yeah, I think it sort of starts to

11:22

break apart a bit. So the freshness of the egg is one.

11:26

I don't know if it's effortless, is it? Is

11:28

it cooling it down quicker? No,

11:30

I don't think so. It's obviously getting your

11:32

timing right. I'd say four minutes is a

11:34

sort of runny egg. Yeah.

11:38

Five minutes is, you want to, that's a

11:40

bit more of a firmer white. Well, think

11:42

about the egg. Obviously, everyone knows this. But

11:44

the egg carries on cooking, doesn't it, until you make

11:47

it cold? Yeah. It just carries on in its

11:49

shell, going away there. Cooking away. Take

11:51

it out after three minutes, go. That's soft boiled. Nah,

11:53

it's still going. You've got to cool that guy down.

11:56

Yeah, so fresh eggs is the one.

11:59

I'd say... you want five

12:01

to six minutes, which is like a

12:03

softly set egg yolk, but

12:05

a hard boiled white. And

12:08

that does, that's perfect because it, this is

12:11

by the way, this is for a picnic.

12:13

If you're eating it straight away, four

12:16

minutes for a runny egg. Yeah.

12:19

Because you'd want to dip your soldiers in, don't you?

12:21

But if you're taking it. Yeah, obviously. Yeah. If

12:24

you're taking it for a picnic, I'd say six

12:27

minutes is perfect. That's

12:29

an hard boil of that six minutes, isn't it?

12:32

Not for a large egg, I don't think. What,

12:34

like an ostrich egg? What do you mean you're a

12:37

large egg? No, just like a decent size egg. I

12:39

think seven, seven, eight minutes you sort of get. Games,

12:41

games, go in, I hear everything. No, no, I'm saying.

12:43

You started three or four, then it was four and

12:45

five minutes, six. No, you're missing the summary. I'm saying

12:47

seven, eight minutes is hard boil. I'd say five and

12:49

a half. I'd say three

12:52

soft boil. I'd say four to five,

12:54

you're venturing into the hard boiled world.

12:56

No, I disagree. Well,

12:58

hey, I'm not going to argue this, this is

13:01

the problem. It seems to be different

13:03

for everybody, how many eggs you've got in the pan. It's

13:05

how big the pan is. Some

13:07

people just do it for a minute and boil it

13:09

and then take it off the hob, put a lid

13:12

on, let it just sit there in the hot water.

13:14

I think three minutes you've still got a snotty white.

13:16

Are you going to roll in boil or are you

13:18

going full whack? Full whack.

13:22

I don't see how you use it. Well, I'm...

13:24

What do you mean? You put it in while

13:27

it's boiling. Yeah, but

13:30

you've got to be careful with that. You've

13:32

got to gently introduce it to the hot water or else

13:34

it will just crack. Well, the other question is, of course,

13:36

where do your eggs go? They don't go in the fridge.

13:38

Do not put them in the fridge. They don't go in

13:40

the fridge. I don't think everybody does know, Steve. You

13:43

couldn't even attempt that. If you tried to put a cold

13:45

egg out of the fridge into boiling water... Bang. You'd

13:48

be a laughing stock in the picture, you could see. Unbelievable.

13:51

No, I'm going to say... Should you face down here

13:53

again? I'm going to say... Five minutes, then. minutes

14:01

so you got the boil on and then I

14:03

put it on a slotted spoon and I gradually

14:05

I hold it over for just let a bit

14:08

of steam touch it yeah and then I slowly

14:10

plunge the bottom in and then I'll I want

14:12

and then I'll just ill take me the old

14:14

process of submerging it will take about 15 seconds

14:16

I don't want to rush these things I don't

14:18

want to crack and you counting that in

14:21

your boiling time I

14:23

think once to half of the eggs got in the water I

14:28

think we could start the clock yeah fair enough

14:30

which I think about for I go four minutes

14:32

for the ball the running egg I like yeah

14:34

yeah fair enough I'll go that egg chat hashtag

14:39

egg chat and the other question of course

14:41

is the cooling of the egg and then

14:44

the obviously the other problem that term that Heather

14:46

has had is the shelling of the egg how

14:49

do you do the shell I

14:51

do couple of taps yeah on

14:53

one side and then a roll on a

14:55

roll I love a roll I

14:57

love a roll do a little roll and then it just should you

14:59

know well you'll know then whether

15:01

you've got your egg right or wrong because

15:04

if you push down on that roll and

15:06

it just goes flat and all the air

15:08

comes out yeah maybe

15:10

you need a bit longer I think yeah that's

15:12

when it is five five minutes plus yeah give

15:15

it a roll should peel away nice

15:17

and easy but fresh eggs five minute

15:19

five minute boil happy days

15:21

look at that how on earth do we just get five

15:23

minute chat out of that well you

15:25

could have boiled an egg in that time hey Steve

15:28

now you yeah

15:31

a little bone bones

15:33

a bit we do

15:43

you recommended a film leave a week no I

15:45

didn't you said you know I didn't recommend it

15:47

you have one of your daughters that has to

15:49

watch it and I went oh god don't ever

15:51

watch that what I said I think that's

15:54

what I said okay well

15:57

we're talking about salt burn salt burn

15:59

yeah on Netflix, one

16:01

of them. Prime, is it? I think

16:03

so. Prime

16:06

then, okay. What, and then

16:08

what you said was, when you've watched it, we'll discuss

16:11

it on the radio. Have you

16:13

watched it? Have I watched

16:15

it? Yeah. Yeah, not only have

16:17

I watched, I say I've watched it, I watched most

16:19

of it, and there was at least two bits that

16:21

I, and I've never done it before, I've

16:24

had to look away from the screen. Wait, did

16:26

you watch it alone, or did you watch it?

16:28

I watched it with Lucy. Yeah, okay, all right.

16:30

And we both, and I was going, no, tell

16:32

me when he stopped doing that. Yeah.

16:35

There's no need for that. Although

16:39

there was an interesting, there was an interesting

16:41

Valentine card this year. I

16:44

also saw that Valentine card. The bath,

16:46

let's just say, the bath. The bath. Don't

16:49

need to know more about that. I thought you needed to know if you'd not

16:51

seen the film. But, yeah,

16:53

what did you think? It was well done, wasn't

16:55

it? Well acted, well shot, well- Really well acted.

16:57

Some really funny bit. I thought Rosalman Pike was

17:00

great. She really made me laugh. She's best thing

17:02

in it for me. I thought she was brilliant.

17:04

She's brilliant. She's so well

17:06

observed. Yeah. Yeah, and

17:08

I know women like that. She's just really good.

17:12

I thought your main guy in it was good as well. I

17:14

don't know why he was doing a Skousax. I don't know why

17:16

he was doing it. He was doing a sort of weird sort

17:18

of John Lennon Skousax. He was doing that sort of single tone

17:21

Skousax. It was hard, wasn't it? Yeah, I don't know why he

17:23

had to be. I don't know. I

17:25

don't know. He didn't really make any sense. No, there was a lot.

17:29

I got it, but I didn't understand. No. I

17:32

mean, I can't say too much. Can we just do it

17:34

on a route? No, spoil it for people who've seen it.

17:38

All I would say in the end, there didn't seem

17:40

to be any winners other than Sophie Alice Bechster. I

17:42

think that's the only winner

17:44

in this straight back number, the top 10. Talking

17:48

at the end. I mean- Yeah.

17:50

Oh, straight down. Oh, that end. I thought you were at

17:52

the end of the end. No, no, when

17:54

he's dancing naked to the ounce. Yeah, with his

17:56

end. Yeah. I

18:00

mean that must have been a warm day, that's all I'm saying.

18:03

Well, yeah, I think... No

18:05

extra there. No?

18:09

That was it. I did a Google afterwards. Not to look for

18:11

it, I didn't do a Google image. I

18:13

just checked to find out and yeah, that's his actual... Eddy,

18:16

is it like on Quora or whatever? One

18:19

of these questions. It's

18:22

that Israel thing about Bob. You'll

18:25

get related questions from Quora now. You were

18:28

asking about... You're

18:30

an actor. What

18:32

if he said to you, Steve, end of

18:34

the film, I want you to

18:36

strip off, get

18:38

your dingaling out, all that, and

18:40

dance through this house. Yeah. What

18:43

are you saying to that? Well,

18:45

I mean, there must be

18:48

more to it. The rest of the

18:50

film is what's drawn you in, not just the last bit.

18:52

So you're there now, you've got to do it. I'm

18:55

talking to Steve Edge, the man here. You

18:58

know what's down between your legs. Are you confident

19:00

enough to give it, this is all

19:02

right for the telly in HD? Because I'm telling

19:04

you right now, Steve, not a

19:06

chance. No,

19:09

I would make sure that... I'd put...

19:11

See it in early on the internet that

19:14

nothing was used extra and then I would

19:16

put extra. Or

19:20

I would imagine anybody in this situation where

19:22

you've had to do semi

19:24

naked and naked stuff. You

19:27

know, you give a little tap around

19:29

it, but... Yeah. You know what

19:31

I mean? I'll be with you in a sec, everyone. Yeah.

19:34

Hang on. I'm just changing my...

19:38

You're naked in this scene. You can't be doing any costume. Well,

19:40

just give us a sec. No,

19:43

not for Jase. I'd have to say about it. I'd

19:46

say that you'd get into it and go, I

19:48

don't think it needs this scene, you know.

19:52

I think this might ruin it. I think

19:54

you just need the majesty of this beautiful

19:56

house and the music of Sophie Alice Baster.

19:58

And then we just cut... to

20:00

black I think guys who's with me

20:07

Manford hey what was that thing I saw you post on

20:10

Twitter the other day about Robin Asquith oh

20:12

we're doing a like a little an

20:14

evening together at the Phoenix

20:17

Arts it's called a Phoenix Arts Center I think it's called

20:19

a Phoenix yeah yeah another one and cross-stroke you know that

20:22

he does little shows there so we do we

20:24

do one together where we're just gonna there's no

20:26

20:31

20:33

older deader stars being

20:36

talked about oh yeah

20:38

no he's interviewing

20:41

20:43

think a lot of the audience are gonna be there

20:45

to see him so when he starts going on

20:47

about sort of Starlings and stuff I think they're

20:49

gonna go so we just have

20:51

to bring it back round it's more what I'm

20:54

gonna wear because he does dress up for these

20:56

20:58

yeah yeah I'm thinking about this

21:00

or Bernie Clifton ostrich you know I mean coming

21:02

on like I'm on riding an ostrich well that

21:04

sort of crowd is gonna appreciate that I think

21:06

21:11

that and then we sat there I can cross

21:13

my legs you know yeah my real legs and

21:16

the fake legs it's like a TED talk but

21:18

without any technology

21:21

24:45

more than six dollars. Six.

24:48

Dollars. Yes, it's not as so I

24:50

guess inflation all I can see that.

25:38

A silver Ferry necklace other Louis Vuitton

25:40

25:42

25:44

us so than the the tooth fairy

25:47

gave us some extra things to the

25:49

to. The experience was nice, Nice

25:52

although I feel like it again. This is

25:55

open said people misuse in this at the

25:57

a sentimental My son. When. He guys

25:59

first. money and then about a

26:01

week later we wanted some sort of toy or something. I

26:03

said we haven't got money, we haven't got money. He said,

26:05

well let's take a couple of teeth out. He

26:08

can already see his mind ticking going, I'll just take

26:10

a couple of teeth out. And

26:12

then I get this present. But

26:15

if you're getting Louis Vuitton stuff, you've been

26:17

running into any wall you see going, ah

26:19

26:21

I think I need one of them Cartier

26:23

bracelets, one with the gold screwdriver. I need

26:25

one of them. Any

26:27

time you smile in the mirror, you're looking

26:29

at about 60 quid. Saving

26:32

isn't it? It's a worry,

26:35

I would say. What

26:37

I hope is that we don't get those American tooth

26:39

fairies over here. No

26:41

we don't need that. Sticks a

26:43

good old British tooth fairies I say.

26:45

Get your brine chicken, get your flash

26:47

tooth fairies. Exactly, we want your flash

26:49

tooth fairies, we've got our British tooth

26:51

fairies. Since Brexit as well, we've not

26:53

got any of those European tooth fairies.

26:55

We've got our own tooth fairies. There's

26:58

not as many of them now as

27:00

there was when we were in the

27:02

European Union. But it'll all level out,

27:04

it'll all level out, don't worry about

27:06

it. It'll all level out, yeah. Just

27:08

the period. I

27:16

tell you, this is how last week's Steve. Yeah.

27:20

There I was on the beach in

27:22

Thailand. Have you ever been to Thailand? No, never

27:24

been to Thailand. Stopped there on

27:26

the way to Bali but just the airport haven't

27:28

seen the time of this. What

27:30

a lovely country. Nice. Beautiful.

27:34

How lovely people, like everybody

27:36

you see, just is

27:38

like hands together, little bow. It's

27:40

sort of three days in, you're doing it yourself. Yeah.

27:44

Bow in fact, bit worrying when it's someone

27:46

driving. Yeah, you're taking

27:48

your hands off the wheel. I'm like just a

27:50

thank you waves fine mate. Yeah, can you do

27:52

it one handed? No, it's very

27:54

much a two handed thing. Very smiley. Go

27:57

easy on the Namaste and look at those roads.

28:00

lot of smiley people there and

28:04

yeah just delightful and I went

28:06

out for food and you

28:08

can't spend your money Steve. Is it good? He's

28:11

like good fish. Good fish, good food, just pad

28:14

thai and all the things that you

28:16

could, cheap as chips yeah it was

28:18

really lovely. Do they do chips?

28:22

They probably do. I nearly

28:24

bought an elephant at one point. Nearly

28:26

how did that happen? Oh

28:28

Steve. Well I've always loved

28:30

an elephant. Yeah but did

28:33

you like sponsor an elephant or to a

28:35

no no no nearly literally and

28:37

nearly just literally yeah jumbo jet. Jumbo jet, I

28:39

was going to say I was leaving it. It's

28:42

too obvious. Jay doesn't do it. No

28:46

basically what happened was we went we wanted to

28:48

go to an elephant sanctuary but as you know

28:50

when you're abroad and well not that we're any

28:53

better sometimes and you've got to be careful aren't

28:55

you? You've got to do a little research. Yeah

28:57

you have. You just want to make sure that

28:59

and there was a couple of sanctuaries a couple

29:01

of places that look like you

29:03

know you could wash the elephants or you can

29:05

have a ride on them. Yeah all that and

29:07

I just thought that's not what I want. I

29:10

want to go somewhere that is like looking at

29:12

them. Anyway so after a bit of research and

29:14

checked on a few websites stuff like that

29:17

there was one called the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary.

29:19

You're going with Phuket? Oh yeah. Is that

29:21

how you're saying it? Phuket. Yeah I mean

29:23

obviously when I was there I did that

29:25

joke a lot. Yes so

29:27

you've tired yourself out with that

29:29

joke. Yeah and so we went

29:31

to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary and

29:34

it was lovely. It was basically

29:36

they rescue elephants from all over

29:38

Thailand. Elephants from

29:40

the circus, from logging companies, from

29:42

just random people who've got elephants

29:44

and are not treating them well and

29:46

they essentially get them there and they retire

29:49

there and that's their retirement. Yes they just

29:51

have a little wash, eat some bamboo,

29:54

whatever they eat. They eat those big

29:56

things. Everything. Yeah yeah all those grass

29:58

and whatnot. So how

30:00

did you end up nearly buying one? Well

30:03

because I watched this little video when

30:05

I got there and it was showing us what these

30:08

elephants are made to do and they used

30:10

to be, whatever, 200,000, now they're 7,000 and

30:14

I had a little cry, little tears in my

30:16

eyes, watching these elephants Lucy

30:18

ended up getting sick from some food poisoning the

30:20

night before and ended up throwing up in the

30:22

middle of the elephant sanctuary It's really spoilt it

30:24

for me Yeah, they eat it No,

30:28

what they've got is this one I'm

30:30

not buying that one No, what they've got is

30:33

this big walkway over the elephants

30:35

So you're not near the elephants Oh okay, so you're

30:37

just looking down on them Yeah, you're not

30:40

Amongst You're not amongst Yeah,

30:42

it's weird actually They

30:45

showed us one They pointed out one

30:47

of the elephants where he said you can see that

30:49

elephant's back hips there and

30:52

that's because it spent 40 years

30:55

carrying two tourists on

30:57

its back and so

30:59

it's been, you know, and then you saw it compared

31:01

to another one that didn't have that It was just,

31:03

me heart was just, me heart was just, I was

31:05

sticking, oh my God, I found my new favourite animal

31:08

I just loved it and Lucy's giving

31:10

it, bleh, into a bin Alright,

31:12

stop, you're doing it, Nif you And

31:15

anyway, back by myself two days later Anyway,

31:18

got back to the hotel and we were sort

31:20

of around and then, as we were walking down

31:22

the beach Straight

31:24

on eBay Elephant

31:27

Walking down the beach and I'd seen

31:29

him a few days earlier there's this

31:31

fella who adds a young

31:33

elephant How big's

31:35

a young elephant? Like a chinta-gentle Yeah,

31:40

right, okay And

31:43

he's got that on the beach but he's like making it

31:45

do tricks and it's sort of getting on its knees and

31:47

it's rolling over and it's... It's like exactly the kind of

31:49

person that the people you went to before would try to

31:51

get rid of Yeah, exactly that

31:54

and anyway, he was there on the day

31:56

and I was like I was getting really

31:58

angry I noticed he's like and all

32:00

that sort of stuff, but I was getting

32:02

really angry because I knew from the video

32:04

that they used a stick with a point

32:06

on the end and stabbed the elephant and

32:08

all that sort of stuff. And my daughter

32:10

was dead upset as well. Anyway, we

32:12

walked back to the hotel and then I

32:16

went for a walk later that evening. On

32:18

your own. On my own. And I found- I remember

32:20

this guy. I did, I went and had a word

32:22

with him. Hey, mate. Well,

32:25

he called us and- And he's gone for the elephant. What do you mean?

32:28

I did ask him. How many miles has it

32:30

done? Don't go around kicking the legs. How

32:33

many miles has it done this one? One

32:35

careful trainer, is it? Yeah,

32:38

but anyway, through

32:41

Google Translate, we had a good

32:43

chat and he

32:45

assured me that he loves this

32:47

elephant. Like it's his pets and he loves

32:49

it so much. And it was, you know,

32:51

in fact, he showed me the sort of,

32:54

it wasn't really a stick thing, but there was no like, yeah, there

32:56

was no like nails in it and stuff. You know what I mean?

33:00

Anyway, I come away and I was still like,

33:02

oh, I just, I wonder, how much is it

33:04

gonna cost? I know how cheap the food is

33:06

here. I reckon five grand. Yeah, it's a lot,

33:09

isn't it? Because it's the amount, what's the currency

33:11

there? The barks. It's a

33:13

lot, isn't it? For one pound. Yeah,

33:16

I mean- So it's confusing. Yeah,

33:18

and also like the sort of, yeah, it's

33:20

like- You're a millionaire. You change 100 quid,

33:22

you're a millionaire. You've got a million something.

33:25

Thai barks. I Googled actually that like the

33:27

average wage or something like over here would

33:29

be like 12,000 pounds, stuff

33:31

like that. So I was thinking, right, if I

33:33

could, I was like, turn it up. I was like, what have

33:35

I got? I wonder if he takes Barfley cards, you know. You

33:38

won't take any of that. Anyway, in the end. No, nobody

33:40

does, what's the point? Anyway, I got back to the

33:43

hotel and I did. But my wife was,

33:45

as I walked into the room, Lucy went, have

33:47

you just bought an elephant? Have

33:50

you stopped being sick? Anyway,

33:53

I didn't buy one, but I do. You thought

33:55

about it. Yeah, and anyway, I've not told you

33:58

this, but I've actually signed up to the... elephant

34:00

sanctuary and I'm gonna go back out and

34:02

do some volunteering yeah

34:05

yeah fancy it fancy you go out and

34:07

sort of help out so they do that

34:09

at some point that's maybe I'll get maybe

34:11

I'll buy one this time yeah next time

34:14

we just look first time I'm

34:17

thinking to myself how would I get it to the

34:19

sanctuary I'd have to ride it to the sanctuary just

34:21

myself rides

34:23

feels like the wrong works if they thought they don't go

34:25

that fast do you know what

34:27

you need to get a pickle they like to

34:29

put a potter on them don't you yeah good

34:31

morning Jason

34:35

Manfred and Steve

34:41

edge I was actually reading a

34:43

new story at the same time

34:45

that was a problem and did

34:48

you read this about Domino's pizza

34:50

and Cadbury's have been blasted by

34:53

a blasted Steve by a former

34:55

health minister after they teamed up

34:57

to make a Domino's cookie that

35:00

contains a whole cream egg I

35:04

mean surely the cream eggs the

35:06

problem it's always been there isn't it

35:08

the cream egg yeah I mean fair

35:11

play to him I know he's got a

35:14

job to do but that looks fit and

35:16

I don't like cream eggs that much as

35:18

well nice Lord Bethel of Romford posted scathing

35:20

tweets that's what they do now my god

35:22

Lord Bethel of Romford that's what it's called

35:24

it's just like a Twitter handle of that

35:26

doesn't sound like a real day I was

35:28

like a baron below Bethel of from food

35:32

he's a conservative Lord and he's

35:34

tweeted about the controversial cookie which

35:36

Domino's announced for the first time

35:39

last Thursday this is disgusting said

35:41

Bethel these are serious corporate

35:43

food companies what are they thinking the

35:45

executive team the board and the shareholders

35:47

should be ashamed of themselves in

35:50

his and is his second tweet he

35:52

reiterated that a team behind the

35:54

controversial cookie which are available in

35:56

Domino's stores from Monday should be a shame and

35:59

added they should their talents to find

36:01

less and he actually says less agrarious

36:03

ways to make a return which does

36:06

contain the word egg. Yeah

36:10

he's not meant it by like. No he's

36:12

not meant that no he's that's a complete

36:15

that's just posh people talking but he's accidentally

36:17

done a radio forge out and he hasn't even realized. Somebody

36:20

posted here she said it's like

36:22

Nestle's KitKat cereal created a race

36:25

to the bottom among big food but

36:28

I'm not sure what will be that calorific concoction.

36:30

What you expect from our prison dominos what

36:32

do you expect they're not going to bring

36:35

out an healthy one aren't they? It's

36:38

not going to be a broccoli pizza is

36:40

it? Dominos aren't going to team up with

36:42

like Dorset cereals make a

36:44

really healthy cookie are they? No

36:47

of course not. Cream egg smashed

36:49

in it for Easter fine. Look

36:52

he says it's a total abdication of

36:54

responsibility you're the curators the creators of

36:57

two of the biggest food brands in

36:59

the country yeah pizza and chocolate pizza

37:01

and chocolate and they put the two

37:03

together. They've done it before

37:06

they've put cheese they've put sausages in

37:08

the crust these are all you

37:11

know the healthy eating guys. Yeah

37:14

I think we've got a you

37:16

know there's always going to be stuff like this and we

37:18

have to just it's just about education is it as we

37:20

all know. Moderation.

37:22

Moderation there's no such thing as bad

37:26

as terrible food it's

37:28

just too much of something 370

37:30

calories per cookie which

37:33

I think that sounds all right that's about

37:35

the same as a. You once told me

37:37

that the dipping sauce with domino has

37:40

got more calories in than a

37:42

slice. Than three slices. Three

37:45

slices that big. If you get that big. That blew

37:47

me mind that did that would have won it with

37:49

your best fact and still when I say that now

37:51

I just I'm never I was never that mad on

37:53

the garlic and herbs but now I just go get

37:55

you away from my crying

37:58

falling for that. Yeah,

38:00

the dipping sauce, you get that large dipping

38:02

sauce, you could have an extra three pieces

38:04

of the pizza. Yeah, I'd leave it. And

38:07

obviously when you order a pizza, you never

38:09

order medium. No. But also,

38:11

what's weird about that is that,

38:13

like, Domino's have got enough, like,

38:17

scientific background now to

38:19

work out a sauce that tastes like that, but

38:23

is under calories or whatever. You know what I mean?

38:25

Like, it doesn't have to be that mental. Or a

38:27

sauce that looks like that, but has got a cream

38:29

egg smashed in it. Well, you'd

38:31

be livid. I'd

38:33

do it for the rum food. Do

38:36

it just to wind him up. He'd be fuming,

38:38

be fuming. No, you've got to... It's

38:40

hard, isn't it? I understand where he's coming from

38:42

and I know he's upset, but at

38:44

the same time, parents and, you know, they're

38:46

responsible for what kids are eating at the end of the

38:48

day. And you go, if they have one, they have one,

38:50

just don't have 12. Hmm.

38:52

Yeah. No. No. You

38:55

either will or you won't. He's not going to

38:57

change anybody's mind. Hit me with

38:59

your best facts. Fire away.

39:11

It is Hit Me With Your Best Facts. If you want to

39:13

join in, you've got to email me. Jason. It

39:16

is Hit Me With Your Best Facts. All you've got to do

39:18

is email me, Jason, at absoluteradio.co.uk

39:22

and you can win yourself a... Well,

39:24

there used to be a Jason Manford show mug.

39:26

Now it's just an absolute radio... Mug in it. Mug

39:29

now, I think. Next week, it'll just be a blue mug. It'll

39:32

just be, go to your kitchen and find

39:34

a mug. Get a Sharpie.

39:36

Write something on it. Absolute

39:39

radio mug. To be warned, if you wowers with

39:42

your amazing facts, what do you reckon the criteria

39:44

are, Steve? What the criteria are for you? We

39:47

like something that makes us want to Google it.

39:49

So that's, you know, don't give us all the

39:51

facts. Sometimes the ones that win are that we

39:53

don't get the full facts. We want to know

39:56

why that somewhere in Mexico in the 70s, there

39:58

was a square on it as present. for

40:00

two weeks. We want to know that. So just

40:02

tease us with that. Don't tell

40:04

us, you know, this has been sent in by a seven

40:07

year old because it cuts no ice. It

40:09

doesn't cut no ice. Interestingly,

40:11

I've noticed how much more I've been

40:14

able to throw our facts into conversation.

40:18

I'm hosting a show at the moment, new

40:20

daytime quiz show for BBC One called

40:23

The Answer Run. And I

40:25

am like a fact king. Not a

40:27

fact king. I realise

40:33

that sounded like I said I was a fact king there.

40:35

I'm the king of facts. And

40:38

in fact today, I must give a shout out,

40:40

Dan and Ben were two contestants we had on

40:43

from Newport. And I hit

40:45

him with a fact and he hit me

40:47

with one right back and he

40:49

went, look at that, I just hit

40:51

you with my best facts. He slipped

40:53

it into the show. That's nice. A

40:56

little rally, a little fact rally. A

40:58

little facts off. Yeah. But it was

41:00

good. He did it in the

41:04

end when he finished. But

41:06

no, it

41:10

was good. It was good to

41:12

get those facts in. I've got to say, it's

41:14

naccharin though. We did four shows a day. Four,

41:16

right. Okay. Four. And it's like an hour and

41:18

hour show when it's on the telly, is it?

41:20

But it takes quite an hour. Yeah. 45 minutes

41:22

show and it's supposed to take two hours, but

41:24

it takes me an hour and hour because I'm

41:26

fast. But even so,

41:28

it's just like that. And what's funny is

41:30

like, and I've seen this happen to the

41:33

others, like if you ever watch Pointless, right?

41:35

Alexander Armstrong's the king of this, right? Because

41:37

you can tell which episodes were

41:39

episodes one and two of the day and which episodes

41:41

were three or four. And they have to lunch

41:43

as well. So that'll make a difference. Because you see

41:46

like first one, he's like, what do you do for

41:48

a living? And he's like, Oh, that's interesting. And

41:50

then he does a little bit of banter. And then

41:52

other times you could tell he's just over it.

41:54

He's just like, they could say anything. They'd be like,

41:56

what'd you do for a living? They're like, Oh, yeah,

41:59

I'm a gynecologist He's like okay, here's

42:01

your first category. Oh, here we go. Not a

42:03

puppet. But

42:06

I definitely feel his pain. But yeah,

42:08

that's coming out later this year. We've

42:11

got some decent facts I reckon there today.

42:13

Okay, okay. I'll get one

42:15

here. We've got Jenny Sykes who says,

42:17

oh, Jenna Sykes it is. Just

42:20

Jenny Sykes was the fittest girl in my

42:22

school. That just came back. She's

42:25

not earnest. She's not earnest. This is Jenna

42:27

Sykes. She's not the fittest girl she was

42:29

at school, Jenna. I can't comment. Let's just

42:31

say she was fit. I imagine she was.

42:33

But Jenny Sykes, Steve was... Oh

42:36

my gosh. Another level. Even

42:38

now, what 30 years later... You know what?

42:41

You know most people who are fit at

42:43

school, they're like, it tails off, don't it?

42:46

And you look at them now on Facebook and you go, oh

42:48

dear. You know what I mean? They peaked,

42:50

didn't they? Peaked too early, yeah. Yeah, peaked

42:53

too early. I think I might have seen

42:55

them on Facebook. Jenny Sykes, yeah, fine. Still

42:57

there. Still absolutely smashing it. She's done well. Still

43:00

well, still maintaining it. Whereas

43:02

me, absolute, like,

43:05

just not good. You've got to

43:07

get to that stage, haven't you? You've got better. I've

43:11

grown into my face. Face, yeah.

43:13

But everyone remembers the fittest person

43:16

at school, don't

43:18

they? Yeah. Just

43:20

that person will always be remembered. Anyway,

43:22

let's stop talking about Jenny Sykes. She doesn't need to be

43:24

mentioned this much. Jenna Sykes says,

43:26

love the show, my 11-year-old son. She's

43:31

trying. I can't wait

43:33

to have a go. You know. Don't

43:35

change it. No, don't want to change it. My

43:39

11-year-old son knows every word of every jingle, okay? I mean,

43:41

it's not that impressive. They are quite simple jingles. But

43:44

I appreciate that. He listens enough

43:46

to sing along. Hubby's

43:49

a big fan of the bin chart and I'm a big fan

43:51

of three mugs. So here you go. Okay,

43:53

well there you go. That's good. I respect that.

43:55

That's an absolute family. I respect that family. Jellyfish

43:59

have... survived 650 million years despite not

44:01

having a brain. Yeah.

44:09

I do not like a jellyfish. Oh,

44:12

I got done by one in Thailand. Was

44:16

it just like an elastic band being flicked across you?

44:18

It was just a little white one, yeah, just rubbed

44:20

up against my leg. No, there's a lot in... Last

44:22

year in Gozo and this year a little bit, it

44:24

was like jellyfish. They just all appeared

44:27

in the bay and they were sort of like... We

44:31

don't have them, do we really? No, they're not a thing really.

44:33

So we get really scared. They had these ones this year that

44:35

were like... It was

44:38

like the size of a football, but

44:40

it looked like a hamburger bun. It

44:43

was horrendous. They're the

44:46

ones that don't sting apparently. No, I mean,

44:48

unless it's not in a brush against it.

44:51

Portuguese Manowal. Why is it

44:53

called the Portuguese Manowal? Because he's going

44:55

to kill you. I know, but... He's

44:57

called it the Portuguese Sting and the

44:59

Killer. Portuguese Killer, Manowal. Manowal.

45:01

Come on. But then you

45:03

worry, you do get an arm colour blind as well. So

45:05

you go, these ones can't hurt you. Just

45:07

watch the ones with the purple heads. The

45:10

ones with the purple heads. Yeah,

45:13

that's the octopus. You've got to really be worried about

45:15

it. Yeah,

45:19

no, there was a moment on the beach where this... It

45:22

was just one by itself, but it pushed against my

45:24

leg and I got out and they had to spray

45:26

some vinegar on it. Vinegar on it, yeah. Do

45:29

not wee on it, that's not a thing. And

45:31

the scraping of the credit card's not a thing, either, is it?

45:33

It's just a bit of vinegar. Yeah, not a

45:35

thing. But then the

45:37

kids were like, oh, I'm not going in the sea the next day.

45:40

And I was like, it's fine, it was just one jellyfish

45:42

by itself, there'll be none out there. I said, tell you

45:44

what, give me your scuba diving stuff, I'll go out and

45:46

I'll check, I'll swim out and I'll check

45:49

to make sure the perimeter's safe by themselves. To

45:51

really relax in swim, isn't it, that? Underwater

45:53

every 10 seconds, you just look it around. So

45:56

I'm having a look round, it's really nice, and I see

45:58

two and I think... and I'm like, okay,

46:00

I've had a look up and it's about 700. I

46:04

was like, Jaws, I'm like, get out of

46:06

the water! No, they're

46:08

terrifying me. I don't understand. Horrible.

46:11

Yeah. And the fact

46:13

that I've been around for that long is even

46:15

scaring people for that long. Still

46:18

getting away with it. Yeah, this brontosaurus is

46:20

going, ugh. Horrible. We

46:24

probably should spend some time reading some of the actual

46:26

facts out there. Yes, yes, yes. Sorry,

46:28

we got sidetracked there by fit

46:31

friends from school. And jellyfish

46:33

with no... Jellyfish. Neil

46:35

says, the most aired face

46:39

in TV history with

46:41

an estimated 70,000 hours

46:46

is Carol Hersey. It

46:48

was Carol Hersey. I

46:51

think I know this. Do you? Think

46:54

about it. Think about it. Is she

46:56

like, what? Is she operating under another

46:58

name? No, she operates under no name.

47:01

If I'm right. Is

47:05

she the most... Think about the word

47:07

history. Probably

47:09

not so much now, but definitely

47:11

when we were younger and right back to probably

47:14

the start of telly. Is it not

47:17

the woman on the test card? It's got

47:19

to be that little girl off the test card, don't

47:21

it? Yeah, you think so with the little dollar hand.

47:23

I think so, yeah. No, that's not been answered

47:25

since the mid 80s, has it? Yeah, but

47:27

who else is going to come near her? Rylan. Yeah.

47:31

Is that me? Yeah, actually, he's on a

47:33

lot. I'm not saying Joel Domit. Yeah, I

47:36

mean, I reckon I'm not far behind. Bradley Walsh.

47:39

It's between you and... Yeah, it's Bradley Walsh. Now, forget

47:41

it, all bets are off, it's Bradley Walsh. Let's

47:46

ask them, you would have checked this. Is

47:48

Carol Hersey the girl from the test card?

47:50

She is the girl from the test card

47:52

with the crown. Good little fat that nail.

47:54

It's between her and Stephen Mohan. Oh,

47:56

right. Yeah, of course. Got about

47:58

Mohan, yeah. David

48:01

Messers says, did you know Wales has

48:03

a separate day for Valentine's Day? Really?

48:05

I did not know this. That's good isn't it?

48:08

When is it? Oh he's not... Ahh,

48:10

too clever for that. Not his first rodeo. Why is

48:12

that there? I don't know. Why is that

48:14

there? I don't know. My darling. Oh

48:18

that's good. Is it? No, St David's

48:20

Day is in February isn't

48:22

it? It's nothing to do with it. Is

48:24

it to do with clashing with that? Oh,

48:27

see maybe. Maybe

48:29

it's to do with that. But that's not till March

48:31

is it David's Day? Is it not? Is

48:34

it like first of March isn't it? I don't know. I

48:36

thought it was February but maybe it is. First of March

48:38

and then... Yeah I wonder

48:40

why they do that then? Well

48:43

it's Valentine's Day. Yeah exactly. Happy

48:45

Valentine's Day. Well of course we

48:47

lost it didn't we? It

48:49

would be Daffodils wouldn't it? Yeah, maybe that's

48:51

why it's later. It's a Daffodil season. I'd

48:54

say it was weird. A

48:57

bit too early. Maybe

48:59

that's what it is. It's

49:01

funny though when you think of how arbitrary

49:04

dates are yet they make you feel a certain way. I

49:06

was thinking about this about New Year. We

49:10

go, obviously with January

49:12

the 1st, New Year and then we go, right, we'll sort

49:14

myself out now. And then

49:17

while I was away it was the

49:19

Chinese New Year and they were all

49:21

giving it, right, okay. New Year, you've

49:23

got like Jewish New Year and... You could travel

49:25

all round the world and start fresh everyday couldn't

49:27

you really? Yeah, tiny New Year's like April. Right,

49:30

I've messed that one up. I'm going to go

49:32

up Thailand and start again. I'm going

49:34

to go to China this year isn't it? What am I doing? You

49:39

could do that. It's a good idea. I'd watch

49:41

that programme. Just somebody trying to restart his life,

49:43

keep messing it up. Goes to another

49:45

New Year somewhere else. Another New Year. I'd

49:47

watch that as well. Men

49:50

are four times more likely to get

49:52

hit by lightning than women. Oh, why

49:55

is this so dastard? Because

49:57

we're taller. No.

50:00

It'll be something like you know They've

50:04

been hit by lightning mores Is

50:07

it just fellas going I'm gonna go out in

50:09

a foil jacket shoe atoms. He's

50:11

that what happens Is

50:14

it something like is it something

50:16

scientific like there's something about the male body that

50:19

Hang on what like what a conductor. Yeah, like more

50:22

so I don't know or Maybe

50:24

the fella at a salt burn, but I'm not sure for the

50:27

rest of us. That's the problem I Wonder

50:30

whether it's statistically men

50:33

more men have outdoor jobs Could

50:36

be yeah That's

50:39

just a theory Well,

50:42

we don't know do it if only what explain

50:44

why either it's just you know, she's not

50:46

gonna I'm so she's in Chelsea. No,

50:48

that's just a fact as you told us Part

50:51

of this place isn't it? It would be the best fact Yeah,

50:54

you're best fact. This is the beginning of an

50:56

essay about all this works literally said that's the

50:59

reason I just wonder whether it's that like we

51:01

just sort of we're just more likely to be

51:03

outside the women Is that is that is it

51:05

as simple as that? Could

51:07

be could be I don't know That's a

51:09

dangerous thing to say these days of course when

51:11

you make but you mean over the over the

51:13

last, you know Oh, of course a should really

51:16

years. Yeah. Yeah, of course Yeah,

51:18

of course, you're outside out and about you're

51:20

hunting and gathering and all that stuff there

51:23

Maybe also men are thicker out there.

51:25

We're a bit. We had a bit before I was getting

51:27

originally I think yeah I'll

51:31

be the element of that Molly

51:33

gripe good name good

51:35

name solid says

51:37

there are even more possible Variations

51:39

of chess games than

51:42

there are atoms in the observable

51:44

universe Molly How

51:48

can that be sit down Molly Nice

51:51

nice how can the be a

51:54

can the pay more variations of

51:56

chess games? There's only one it though

51:59

you stop bringing It's bad enough when you play

52:01

pool. Yeah, not actually

52:03

in my rules. We don't

52:05

count checkmate. Hang on. And even if there

52:07

is that one dude, even if there's 20

52:09

of them, there's still not

52:11

more than atoms in the known

52:13

universe. There

52:16

are more chess, yeah, more chess

52:18

moves than atoms in the observable

52:20

universe. Chess moves. I thought you said chess

52:23

games. No, there's rules. I see

52:25

what you were thinking, just this one game of chess on

52:27

that thing. No, no, just one.

52:29

Yeah, you were just like, is that Simpson's

52:31

one? No, the

52:33

actual rules of the game of chess. I thought

52:35

you said the different game, but it's not moves.

52:40

But still, I still

52:42

see it's very high, doesn't it? More

52:45

atoms in the known universe. More

52:48

than the atoms in the known universe.

52:51

Because some of them can only move in an L

52:53

shape and one step forward. It's not

52:55

like you can go, now I'm going to go over there. Wow,

52:59

I don't know. Well, it's

53:01

a fact and it's been checked, Steve. I

53:04

don't trust that anymore. I don't know. I think that's

53:06

a good one. And I play chess. I'm a chess

53:08

guy. So

53:11

I believe

53:13

it. Well, it must be

53:15

true. It's a fact, isn't it? It's been checked. Exactly. I'm

53:17

going to fire a few more at you, Steve. Okay. We've

53:20

got Sarah Wolfenden, who says

53:22

a bee doesn't have to land to

53:24

collect pollen. It can use electricity.

53:29

Wow, that's good. Just

53:31

when you think the bee can't get any more

53:33

amazing. But a bee's cool, isn't it? That is

53:35

so cool. It's just sort of... It's the bee's

53:38

knees, isn't it? It literally is. It's

53:40

sort of the only insect that no

53:42

one wants to be

53:44

stung by. But we all know they're not going to sting

53:46

you because they're guys, they sting you. So like, they're

53:49

the ones that everyone likes of it. You can see, like,

53:51

you know, they always go, oh, that's horrible. That's spider. Yeah,

53:53

but that spider's killing that thing and that's killing that. Whereas

53:56

the bee, you can see what the bee's doing. answer

54:00

and I can look lovely noise I'll give you

54:02

I give it a funny while you're stealing but

54:05

I'll give you a bit of honey yeah you

54:07

know me see what it's doing see what's contributing

54:09

yeah yeah what is what is the Beatles isn't

54:11

that mad isn't

54:13

that mad facts that we had

54:15

a while about wasn't it like the bee like nobody

54:18

knows how the bee flies yeah that was

54:20

it yeah they've studied they can't work out

54:22

how it flies all those given some research

54:24

centers just giving them like half a million

54:26

quid and gone just sort that out come

54:28

back to us in six months they've got

54:31

right what is it they've got no idea mate

54:33

check check everything

54:35

like we have the money about that well spent in we

54:37

like trying to work out you know filming it and stuff

54:39

and no idea absolutely no

54:41

idea I thought he got it at

54:43

one point and then the Adam his

54:51

wings are too small for that that little

54:53

for the carry that white yeah brilliant

54:56

Megan O'Rook says scuba and laser

54:58

are acronyms not words on their

55:00

own I feel

55:02

like we knew that yeah yeah

55:06

I definitely don't know what they are Jackie

55:09

short says more than one fifth

55:11

of all the calories consumed by

55:13

humans worldwide is provided

55:15

by rice alone that's

55:18

a good factor that's a good fact isn't it

55:20

mmm I believe it one fifth

55:22

of all the calories though well

55:25

that's amazing well what's covered the other

55:27

forfeit it's not fruit is it potatoes

55:31

well there's a lot of Irish in there just

55:34

spread around a lot of chips and

55:36

stuff don't they yeah chips crisps

55:39

yeah make no key yeah sort of

55:41

potato in it yeah yeah that's

55:44

good though that's a

55:46

nervous we have a little think about that we'll come

55:48

back to you with a winner all

55:59

right we've got a pick a winner Here is Steve for our Hit

56:01

Me With Your Best Fat absolute radio

56:03

mug this week. We had

56:05

Jenna Sykes, just a mug. Jenna Sykes

56:07

told us about jellyfish surviving 650 million

56:09

years. She's the

56:11

fifth one despite not having a brain. Neil

56:18

told us about Carol Hersey who's the

56:21

most aired face in UK TV history

56:23

with an estimated 70,000 hours. We

56:26

reckon that's the girl off the test car.

56:30

Wales has a separate day for Valentine's Day

56:32

according to David. Paul of

56:34

Dwyer told us men are four times more likely to

56:36

get hit by lightning than women. Molly

56:39

Gripe told us that there were

56:41

more possible variations of chess moves

56:43

than atoms in the observable universe.

56:46

B does not have to... Observable

56:48

universe. Yeah, it does not have to land to

56:51

Clem or something. Oh

56:53

right, that's different. I think that's still quite

56:55

a lot. No, it is. As

56:58

if that made any difference. Oh,

57:00

I didn't hear that before. Observable

57:02

universe, right? What

57:04

naked eye or telescope? What? I'm

57:07

going to say that what she means

57:09

by that is the amount of the universe

57:12

we've observed as a species. Yeah, we know.

57:14

We know of. Not just you popping out to your back

57:16

garden looking all... Going... Is that

57:19

the North Star? The

57:21

Rook to A4 or whatever.

57:24

The B does not have to

57:27

land to use electricity, scuba and

57:29

laser and acronyms and

57:31

more than one fifth of all the calories

57:33

consumed by humans worldwide is provided by rice

57:35

alone according to Jackie Schott. I

57:39

don't know. I don't know this

57:41

week. Solid week. Alright, let's whittle it down.

57:43

I'm going to say rice

57:46

is in the reckoning. That's in there, yeah.

57:49

I want to know when... I want

57:51

to know when... Well, Valentine's Day. I'll be

57:53

honest with you. Okay. Well,

57:55

you're a bit well, so you should know that. No,

57:58

I don't know. You know. I

58:00

didn't know the worst one. Did you know the worst one?

58:02

We didn't know so you can use that every Valentine's Day.

58:04

You know in Wales And

58:07

if you forget it over here, you

58:09

can go take you to Wales next week. What for?

58:11

What if the... Valentine's Day What

58:13

if the worst ones earlier? You don't know that?

58:16

Well, if you forget it in Wales come to

58:18

England for the weekend. I

58:22

don't know I don't think it's as good as I like the

58:24

lightning one because then every time it's a storm you can go

58:26

hey Yeah, but if you go and get a watch in love

58:28

we got an answer Have

58:31

we got an answer? We don't know we just thought well,

58:33

we'll find the answer in a minute What if there is

58:35

an answer? Okay, all

58:37

right that one then if we if it's an answer

58:39

at that's good go more than the rice Yeah,

58:42

well because that's just a fact we know

58:44

we can do a new that we all

58:46

like rice But I want to know why

58:48

men are more like this again. I think it's a Is

58:51

it a chemical or is it just like you said?

58:54

idiots Alright

58:57

so we'll go with that one Yeah,

59:00

okay, so that's the hit me with your best fact this

59:02

week, which is Paula Dwyer

59:04

I can't believe that's beat Molly gripes

59:06

chess and atoms to be honest

59:08

But very well, you can't get a head round

59:10

it. I can you men are four times more

59:12

likely to get hit by lightning and then women

59:14

and Four times and the

59:16

reason is what we said

59:18

Steve Because men tend to engage in

59:21

activities that put them at greater But

59:24

silver jacket on I'm gonna dress like Because

59:28

we work outside more than women do themselves

59:30

at greater risk I feel like that's not

59:32

pointy's always actually doing your job I

59:35

think they go look at me. I've just strapped a javelin

59:37

to me head and it's thundering watch

59:39

this idiots 80%

59:42

of lightning strike victims are male.

59:45

I Mean

59:47

that's considerable isn't it? That's not just a little

59:49

bit. No, no that is Yeah,

59:51

that's that's unbelievable. So they don't know you're

59:54

right though in future if it's I'm not

59:56

getting the Washington Yeah, you do the bins

1:00:00

next time it thunders or like I'm just gonna I'm

1:00:02

gonna have to go to the seller or something and

1:00:04

just read a book and go that I

1:00:06

can't be around this because it's dangerous for

1:00:08

me I'll tell you what's funny right this

1:00:10

is not funny because obviously it

1:00:13

involves death so I'm just gonna put that out

1:00:15

there it's a it's funny

1:00:17

peculiar is what I mean rather than

1:00:19

funny hilarious there's a

1:00:22

map here oh I'm

1:00:24

gonna get in trouble for this but I'm gonna say anyway and

1:00:27

there's a map here of US lightning deaths

1:00:30

right and they've got a blue dot for every

1:00:34

person where it was been

1:00:36

struck by lightning right and it's

1:00:38

quite it's obviously not towards the

1:00:42

the West it's not a lot at all

1:00:45

but a few of the states that but

1:00:47

Florida is fully blue

1:00:49

like it was because Florida's like that's

1:00:51

where they get their hurricanes and everything

1:00:53

comes in that way yeah but it's

1:00:55

also where the thickest people in America

1:00:57

yeah there's what I'm really saying anyway

1:00:59

so there you go so that's interesting

1:01:01

though isn't it there you go men

1:01:03

are four times more likely to get

1:01:05

hit by lightning than women so Paula

1:01:07
