9:37

thing that survive because they're at train stations.

9:39

they would not survive in the house so

9:44

not. Most of the ones are having all

9:46

11:15

so they're on their as long as the

11:17

list Sweden and the still everywhere and brown

11:19

no idea. What he said looked

11:21

as it sounds that the shuttle stuff

11:23

operate in Britain wants against is on

11:25

his book lists the set aside for

11:28

his Ceo Launius bookies allow smoking in

11:30

all things to that evil killing her

11:32

A says m I don't know of

11:34

any brands of presume yards it is

11:36

evidence of the other know of any

11:38

breasts were the other that this is

11:40

even juvenile diabetes so you guys who

11:42

visited with his yes it's the have

11:44

a certain area to area to area

11:46

but your your of go towards the

11:48

i'm the a manic to areas outside

11:50

our gallery. on the police side

11:52

of the landlocked archipelago islands the

11:54

is that area they've got is

11:57

very near there you know what's

11:59

the I'm after. Black Forest,

12:01

not bordering because that's France.

12:04

You know what I mean?

12:08

He says recognition

12:10

will be as high as it is

12:12

in Britain without having any stores. We

12:15

have secured all the trademarks for the

12:18

brand, for the whole of Europe, so

12:20

we could operate if we make the

12:22

decision. It may be in a mix

12:24

for a long time future. I don't know

12:26

where he went then. I'm just going to go boot.

12:31

The UK has never been the same without

12:33

the opportunity to buy a pick and mix,

12:35

see these singles and black plimsolls all in

12:37

one stone. That's a good point. Where do

12:39

you get a pick and mix from now

12:41

other than the cinema? You can

12:43

get it in some big supermarkets, can't you? I

12:46

think so. Spal of a no. I

12:48

see stealing from a supermarket feels wrong

12:51

though, doesn't it? But stealing from Woolies. Well

12:54

it's the reason they're out of business mate. No it

12:57

is. Let's all

12:59

make a deal right now as Brits.

13:02

If Roman Heine, the CEO

13:04

of Germany, manages to

13:06

get Woolies back into high streets, let's all

13:08

promise that we won't steal any pick and

13:13

mix. And

13:15

we'll all go. My worry is, the buildings,

13:17

you know when you go to any town

13:19

that you've not been to before, like Biggish

13:21

Town, you can go, that used to be

13:24

Woolworth. You can spot it can't

13:26

you? So they've all gone now, they're all B&M

13:29

bargains, Iceland. His

13:31

name's Heine. Heine, I know, I know. Roman Heine.

13:35

I think that might be the bloke who owns here, that

13:37

was Heine to Moretz, I don't know. Not

13:40

sure. We'll all go to

13:42

Woolworth. That's the

13:45

deal, we're going to make. For about a week. And

13:47

then we'll back on Amazon. Jason!

13:52

Manford. Absolute

13:55

radio. I've actually got a

13:58

little bones. with you

14:00

Steve. Me? Yeah, a little bone to

14:02

pick with you. What bone is it? What's what? I'm

14:05

gonna tell you now right, so if

14:07

you're watching telly last night you might have seen

14:09

Big Night in the Musicals, the National Lottery Show

14:11

that we do for the BBC, it's at the

14:13

Arena in Manchester, huge production, multi-million

14:16

pound like massive,

14:19

a thousand hotel rooms they need

14:21

in Manchester to put that show

14:23

on and all the musicals

14:25

from all the great shows that are in West

14:27

End and touring all over the place, big

14:30

opening number, greatest show with jugglers

14:33

and fire breathers and still dancers

14:35

and it all makes it amazing

14:37

right, it's incredible right and

14:41

anyway doing all the promotion this week and they said

14:43

oh you do an interview for the TV Times, yeah

14:45

I'd love to do an interview for the TV Times,

14:47

so I do an interview for the TV Times, I

14:50

pick up the TV Times, I'm either cover of

14:52

the TV Times Steve, am I

14:54

the cover of the TV Times Steve? Not

14:56

this week no. No it wasn't this week

14:59

was I? Who bumped me off the cover

15:01

of the TV Times Steve? What do you

15:03

mean? It was you and Sally from Madame

15:05

Blanc. Well you

15:07

know we get about don't we? A few minutes. I've

15:11

always been, I've always been very

15:13

nice to us to people at

15:15

the TV Times, they're great people.

15:18

You look good actually. You

15:21

know when you do photo shoots you're usually

15:23

like six weeks into a shoot

15:25

and you've got like a scene off in the morning, they're like

15:27

oh we thought we could get you in there like ten

15:29

past two in between those two scenes and photos and you're like

15:32

I was going to learn the lines for the

15:34

next year right then, so that's normally the fact

15:36

that you're pulling in those scenes in those photographs.

15:38

There's a little bit of that I think.

15:41

Yeah nice. I think it was sexy

15:43

actually. Well sexy Dom, isn't it Dom's

15:45

dollars? Yeah you've got a good

15:47

look, got a good look on you. So Madame

15:49

Blanc's still on? Madame Blanc Thursday's nine o'clock, yes

15:52

still on. I think we're on episode four or

15:54

five now I think. All of your I call

15:56

it my five or whatever it's called, my five

15:58

I think and it's just started. through our American

16:00

listeners. It's just started on Acorn as well. Is

16:02

there any American listeners? There is some of them.

16:04

Yeah, no, I'm sure they both are. Well, it's

16:06

just started on Acorn TV, so. Yeah. Drop.

16:09

Dropped today. It's just dropped, man. It's

16:11

just dropped. I don't know if you can get

16:14

the National Lottery's Big Night Musicals in America. You can

16:16

get it on the iPlay. Get a BPM. You'll give

16:18

me a BPM. I know, yeah. The

16:20

big BPM. It was good. It was a great show,

16:22

I gotta say. It was brilliant. It was just really

16:24

like, you know, you just come away going,

16:26

oh, that was good. Entertaining. Just uplifting.

16:30

It was unashamedly daft and brilliant

16:32

and loads of talented people

16:34

just being fantastic and it was great. So

16:37

if you want cheering up and you love a musical, get

16:41

on the iPlay and have a little watch on that

16:43

on the BBC. I

16:45

do notice a difference though. Even

16:47

now, in 2024, you would think that

16:49

everything's 50-50, don't you? Men like it,

16:52

women like it. Yeah. But a

16:54

lot of women still prefer

16:56

a musical. Yeah. A lot

16:58

of blokes being sort of dragged along

17:00

a little bit. I'm being broad strokes here,

17:02

aren't you? I'm not sure. Everybody. Yeah.

17:05

But I do, maybe it's because it was in Manchester but I do

17:08

get a lot of blokes shaking my hands going, I

17:10

didn't really want to come but it was good that.

17:13

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. You know, you want to

17:15

come out tonight and fire on everything but as

17:18

the woman said, cold never bothered me anyway. I

17:20

love that. I love that night, mate. It really spoke

17:22

to me. Yeah,

17:26

so it's like even now, 2024, still

17:28

my blokes thinking that musical theatre can't

17:30

be for them. It's for everybody. It's

17:32

for everybody. And it'll show you by

17:34

watching it on the iPlay. So iPlay

17:36

for the National Library's Big Night Musical

17:38

and Madam Ronk on the 5 Player,

17:40

what's it called? My 5? My

17:43

5, I think. Have a little look on their website

17:45

as well. Now,

17:53

Steve, I had a moment the other day where everyone

17:55

was away. It was just me and my little boy. So I was just putting him

17:57

to bed. He's five, nearly six.

18:00

and anyway, I always

18:02

say to him look, because he's not

18:04

a fan of sleeping alone. He wants to be in

18:07

our bed, right? So I always just say to him

18:09

look, start here. If you wait, I just say it

18:11

secretly. I go, well if you wake up at some

18:13

point, you want to come in. I'm

18:16

not gonna kick you back out, you know what I mean?

18:18

I can't bother to put on this at that time. It'd

18:20

be a bit of sleep, yeah. Exactly. So

18:22

anyway, he comes in about midnight, 12, and

18:25

I'm sort of watching a bit of telly, I

18:27

should be going to bed, but I'm not. And he

18:29

comes in for a right fight, so he gets in, he seems to come

18:31

down straight away. I go, brush me teeth. When

18:33

I come back to getting to bed,

18:36

he goes, I think

18:38

he's fast asleep. He goes, daddy? I

18:41

said yes, son. He goes, can I tell you something?

18:43

I said, yeah, of course you want. The

18:45

Earth isn't perfectly spherical.

18:49

A what, no? A what? Gone,

18:51

back to sleep. Is that it? He said that

18:53

and then went to sleep. That's all he was. Wow.

18:57

Yes, that's all he had to say. Well,

18:59

you need to know more. You need to know more. I

19:01

know, I was going back to sleep. You know, you need to

19:03

move your best facts with that. I know, but he did because

19:06

I did literally Google it. Straight away.

19:08

Liningby, and he's right, it's an ellipsoid. It's

19:11

not perfectly spherical. Just sort

19:13

of slightly, sort of a, chunky

19:15

ball-esque. What, like the top and bottom

19:17

or the sides? Do

19:21

we not really know? No, I don't know. Don't come

19:23

over or Google down. There'll be

19:25

some boffin', some new listening. I

19:28

mean, he found it on YouTube

19:30

Kids. YouTube Kids, don't they?

19:32

They love that. YouTube Kids.

19:34

Oh, my. So it

19:37

just got me thinking, like, is there

19:39

a more random thing that you've

19:41

had from a kid? Maybe yours, maybe

19:43

others. And

19:45

I sort of like it as a topic. I

19:48

know you've got a son similar to

19:50

mine and as much as he's got vested

19:52

interest in certain things where he's really obsessed

19:54

with those things. Yeah, yeah. And more

19:56

knowledgeable than you, in fact, probably, on a couple of years.

19:58

Oh, I don't know anything about it. Titanic he knows

20:01

everything about the Titanic. Exactly. So

20:05

quite like that. Quite like random things that they've said.

20:08

So Holly Roberts, she said, my son, aged

20:10

six at the time, walks into the bathroom when I was

20:12

in the shower and said, Mummy, your body

20:14

is so wobbly it doesn't even look like you've got a skeleton. Wow. That's

20:18

a real, real boost for the thing isn't

20:20

it? There you

20:22

go. A bit of ass at it. I heard a similar

20:24

one, it was one of

20:26

the Howl's Mate, which sounds like gay but it was one of

20:28

the Howl's Mate's. Mum told me. Her son

20:31

came in when she was in the shower and looked at

20:33

her and went, oh, I don't like that there, put it

20:35

back on your head. White shot. Which,

20:38

you know, she

20:40

told me, she

20:42

was laughing her head off about it, oh that looks weird there,

20:44

put it back on your head. Wow. Without

20:49

saying anything, you know exactly what

20:51

I'm talking about. Yeah, wow. Also

20:54

quite a, I mean, I'm

20:56

glad she finds the funny side of it to

20:58

tell it to other people but now you know. Yeah. Which

21:02

is a thing that you don't know about people but now you do

21:04

know about. My son did a funny thing yesterday, he went

21:06

for a costume fitting yesterday. He used

21:08

to do a bit of filming. Oh right. He

21:12

went for a costume fitting yesterday at Leaveston, you know

21:14

where they filmed all that, Harry Potter's. And

21:17

we got to the security gates and the guy said, oh,

21:19

what's your name, mate? And he went, oh it's Halliwell, he

21:21

found the other thing, he went, can we just have a

21:23

signature there? What? Because obviously he's never done

21:25

a signature. I don't know what a signature is. He

21:28

went, just put a little mark there, he literally took

21:30

the pen and drew a little line and gave me

21:32

the pen back. Because he said put

21:34

a little mark there, this is exactly what

21:36

he did. So he's literally a straight line,

21:40

just like an eye, a little eye. And

21:42

then, there you go, that's me. I hope

21:44

he's not got a bank account or a checkbook, people could come with

21:46

it. Maybe that's

21:48

his showbiz one, you've got a

21:50

showbiz one on your bank card, yeah. I had a thing the other

21:52

day when we were filming and I had

21:55

to sign these documents, like four or

21:57

five documents really quickly. As

21:59

my card was, It's so hard

22:01

to not do your own

22:04

signature on film or

22:06

just something weird. Yeah and then also you

22:08

go... Really elaborate squiggle. Yeah what is this guy's

22:10

signature? It took me decades

22:12

to work out what mine was. How do I know what

22:14

this guy's is? No, some people would

22:17

build the character from the signature up. They'd

22:19

start with the signature, then work out the

22:21

walk, then what sort of shoes they work,

22:23

what sort of music they're into. But

22:26

yeah, you'd miss that bit out and then

22:28

you'd find something. Damn it! Gemma

22:31

Hughes said, my daughter came downstairs on the morning

22:34

of her birthday and said,

22:37

I've just had the first poo I've done as

22:39

a five year old. First five year old poo?

22:41

Remember that forever? Remember that? I just remember that.

22:43

Does anyone remember that? Yeah. Charlotte

22:46

Salisbury, she says discuss it with nieces

22:48

and nephews, what they wanted to be when they grew up.

22:51

Child A, a pilot, child B,

22:53

a chef, child C, my

22:55

teacher says I have to be a shepherd. Me,

22:59

I'm pretty sure that's just for the

23:01

nativity play, I don't think it's for the rest of your life.

23:03

The rest of your life. Imagine getting snuck into that job just

23:05

because you... Yeah like an

23:07

innkeeper or a shepherd. Yeah. Yeah,

23:10

I suppose if you were one of the three

23:12

wise men that would be alright. That

23:14

would be fine. Which one you were though, you

23:16

wouldn't be the mer guy would you? Balthazar! They

23:18

would be the mer guy, you're probably the gold

23:21

guy. Still don't know what mer is.

23:23

I don't know what mer is. After all this years, some

23:25

mer... No. None

23:27

of those presents were acceptable for a new ball. No,

23:30

no they're not acceptable for a new ball but

23:32

also they've obviously agreed like you know, like

23:34

a three quid minimum or something. Yeah, yeah exactly. I've got

23:37

some mer, I've got some frankincense, and he's got gold

23:39

and they've gone, what? Gold? How

23:41

come on mate? I've

23:43

just got some little strands of spice, what

23:46

have you done? Oh mate. A kid wanting

23:49

that. Get him one

23:52

of those fidget spinners. Three wise

23:54

men. Fidget spinner? Beano

23:58

on the day he was born. and

24:02

Cola Cubes, I don't know. There

24:04

you go, amazing. Julie

24:06

Cole says, my five year old asked

24:08

me one bedtime, mummy, how many penguins

24:11

in the world are called Jason? Wow.

24:15

That's a good name for a penguin actually. That is a strong

24:17

name for a penguin. I'd

24:20

say not many, but you don't know in these,

24:23

you know, the Zoos and that, they give them DAF names,

24:25

isn't they? Yeah, there'd be one called Jason, I'm

24:27

sure there would be. Miron

24:30

Mitchell says, I also once overheard my son

24:32

ask his big sister, who's the Pope, I

24:34

waited to hear how she would answer. Basically,

24:37

he's the king of the Catholics. And

24:41

honestly, I can't think of a better explanation.

24:43

Oh, that's pretty good, that's

24:45

pretty good. It's a good,

24:48

that is the king of the Catholics. I might

24:50

start using that, it's the Pope, the king of

24:52

the Catholics. He's short. I

24:56

must say though, they are a lot more fun when they're under

24:59

10. Yeah, does

25:01

it get harder? It just

25:04

gets very serious. I

25:07

don't want, yeah, I don't want to see it. I mean, it's

25:09

still fun, it's not your moment, it's not a laugh. Yeah,

25:12

but it's a bit more. But it's just you're

25:14

also dealing with proper issues, do

25:16

you know what I mean? Like, that's why, you know, that's

25:18

why grain jail, for example, was about

25:20

secondary school, because it could deal with drugs and,

25:23

you know, bullying and assault and really

25:25

serious issues. If it was about primary

25:27

school, it

25:29

wouldn't be, would it? No, it would just

25:31

be about somebody having a hat on and somebody laughed

25:33

when they got told off and then laughed at him

25:35

and he pushed that bloke. Yeah, you said that we

25:37

were all going to wear pigtails today, but actually you

25:39

came in a high pony and you never told me,

25:42

like it wouldn't be. Damn to you. I'm

25:48

over it. I'm over it. You're

25:50

saying that you're over it. Cheryl

25:52

Cutler says, me and my then five-year-old said, I

25:55

love you to the moon and back. Him

25:58

sadly said, that's not the way it is. Not even

26:00

half a million miles, Mum. Oh,

26:02

he's got a really good one. That's a problem

26:04

when they're knowledgeable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that is,

26:06

isn't it? Oh, yeah. All this time

26:08

we thought that was a really beautiful

26:11

thing to say and he's just gone, what? Yeah,

26:13

it's not even, well, it's the most reachable of

26:16

the, you know, of the things.

26:18

You know, I think we've got to that one. We've

26:20

never been anywhere else. Unless

26:23

you're like, yeah, because maybe people are like, I love you

26:25

to the space station and back. You know what I

26:27

mean? You don't want to quite go, I could

26:29

love you more, but at the moment, you've done me a head in, so

26:32

I'm just gonna go. Yeah, and they probably, when I get there, they've probably

26:34

got wifi, you know. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I do

26:36

love it there. It's sat nice right next door, isn't it? There

26:38

you go, are they? Oh, the wifi. Yeah.

26:41

All your texts come in. Do

26:44

you, do you board? Yeah. Oh,

26:46

wow. Sorry, mate, I've got to ring somebody. Text

26:49

from years ago. Kate

26:51

Parster says, my daughter, three at the time, it's

26:53

a weird name, asked

26:55

do frogs wipe their bottoms? Good

26:58

question, do they? Well, she

27:01

said, maybe that's what lily pads are for. I don't

27:03

think that's what they're for. No,

27:05

I don't think so. I'm just going on the game,

27:07

frog, when you have to jump on the lily pads

27:09

to get across. That would be a weird addition. Across

27:11

the river that was next to a road. Yeah. Cars

27:14

are a bit out of scale, weren't they? To

27:16

the size of the car. The size of the frog. And

27:18

the size of the lily pads. Yeah, they were really, yeah.

27:20

I mean. Do

27:23

you think any animal would like the bum? No,

27:25

I can't, I can't see, like dogs sometimes

27:28

drag themselves, don't they? That's

27:30

not wiper, they're bob, is it? No, it's

27:32

just, no, we don't want to go into

27:34

that, but yeah. No, probably not good. But

27:36

now I've never seen one. I've

27:38

never seen a like, you know, not even

27:40

a monkey, you know, when you go, or, you know,

27:42

when you go. Not even a monkey. You know, when

27:44

you go to a supplier park, you think they could

27:46

have nicked some tissues out of somebody's car and then

27:48

go, finally, I'm going to wipe my bottom now. Do

27:51

you know what I mean? That's why people don't roll it

27:53

all the time. Windscreen wipers and everything. One of them would

27:55

have got a pack of tissues once and

27:57

gone, lads, I bring good news. Never

28:00

mind fire, I found Lou Roll I

28:03

found Lou Roll mate Barry

28:05

Malone says my six year old told me

28:07

she could see into my soul and that

28:09

it was a cloud of mystery I

28:12

haven't been able to look her in the eye all weekend

28:14

and it's just freaking me out a little bit Yeah

28:17

that is, well, don't matter if you look her in the eye or

28:19

not, she can see into your soul Don't

28:21

matter Yeah, don't matter where you look, she's staring right

28:23

into your very soul Not only is she saying she

28:25

can see it, she's judged it as well It

28:28

sounds alright though, cloud of mystery Cloud of

28:30

mystery That's alright, it could be like A

28:33

cloud of misery or something, you know what I

28:35

mean Yeah, a darkness, yeah Gareth

28:38

said, my seven year old willow

28:40

asked why her mum is hairier than me,

28:43

my wife was not impressed No, it wouldn't

28:45

be, would you? Not

28:47

a compliment, not a compliment Barry says, taking my

28:49

kids to Disneyland and my nine year old said,

28:51

well it's a shame Mickey isn't in the castle

28:53

because Dad buried him in the garden I

28:56

said, what? Do you remember when you

28:58

caught him in the kitchen? It's only then I remembered that we

29:00

had a rodent problem but my son was three years old when

29:02

it happened How he's retained that information

29:04

for six years I do not know I do

29:06

not think they remember from when that really early

29:09

age is mad, isn't it? Yeah, yeah They

29:11

won't know what happened this morning but they'll go, do

29:13

you remember when you fell over that curb and you

29:16

were like, you were two? Yeah, six

29:18

years ago My

29:20

son will also remember any even

29:22

inkling of a semi-promise that I've

29:24

given him about time or toys

29:26

or iPad or whatever Yeah, I think there's a

29:28

gift there, my son's got this, because his birthday

29:30

suit, he just had Christmas and he picks a

29:33

load of presents that don't exist anymore He's

29:35

done it again, he's got this sort of gift of

29:38

choosing like Lego things that they don't make anymore Do

29:40

they do a Lego and you go, oh I'll have

29:42

a look and you go, oh yeah, they do and

29:44

you go, yeah, yeah, would you like that for your

29:46

birthday? You have discontinued, someone on eBay sell it for

29:48

ten times the price and you're like, mate, how are

29:51

you doing this? Is he

29:53

checking online maybe? I think he's going on

29:55

YouTube, kids Is that what

29:57

you call it, the Google Home Amazon Show?

30:00

Any of those, you go, what, any

30:02

of this toy, oh, look at that,

30:04

that's expensive. I like that. They're

30:06

not daft, are they? Not daft,

30:09

kids. No. Laura Birch

30:11

says, my daughter, trick or treating,

30:13

went to a house and got the sweets. Instead of saying

30:15

trick or treat, smell my feet. Lest shout

30:17

in trick or treat, smell my dad. Ha

30:19

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

30:21

ha ha ha ha ha. That's a

30:23

great one. That's a good one. Yeah, well done.

30:25

Well done. That one. He's just stood

30:28

at the garden gate waiting like. Waving.

30:32

There's a woman out in the door, looks

30:34

up, and he just goes, he didn't hear what I said,

30:36

so he just waved. Yeah, I like it. Carl

30:39

Long says, my son said I shouldn't celebrate

30:41

my birthdays, I've had too many and they're

30:43

wasted on me. I'm only 42. Well,

30:47

you do get to a point where you do

30:49

sort of semi-stop celebrating. Yeah, but

30:51

that's your decision, that's not someone else's decision. Yeah,

30:53

it's not a child's decision. You might have to

30:56

turn around and go, hey, you've had enough birth,

30:58

he's wasted on you. Well,

31:00

I mean, they are wasted, to be

31:02

fair, because when obviously kids birthdays, like there's a

31:04

party, there's a Nerf gun party, a

31:06

big cake, everyone at school gets a biscuit, you know what

31:08

I mean? It's a big thing, whereas when it's yours, you're

31:11

like, oh no, I don't want anything. Don't make any fuss.

31:13

And he's having a bad way for breakfast in bed and

31:15

it never comes, he's like, I want a bit of fuss.

31:18

Ah, forget it. Yeah, yeah. That's what

31:20

you mean. They do get less and less, don't

31:22

they? Kelly says,

31:25

my daughter, three at the time, she

31:27

said, she loves me more

31:29

than triangles. Oh. And

31:31

I said, that's a bit strange, Harriet. I'm glad you

31:33

love me more than a triangle. I was laughing at

31:35

the time. She said, it's not funny. It's

31:38

true, triangles are my favourite shape. Oh,

31:41

wow. Well, is it? That's a compliment then. Yeah,

31:44

it's quite acute. Yeah.

31:48

Ay. Ay. Geometry jokes. There

31:50

you go. Crikey. Come

31:52

on. Come on. Very

31:55

good, very good, I like it. I was trying to use

31:57

the Potter news and then I couldn't work it out. No.

32:00

I was like, are we gonna go

32:02

for the Potter news at 10? I go,

32:04

oh damn it! Too

32:06

late, too late. Jodie Hammons said,

32:08

my son is also five. He

32:10

said to me last night, Mummy, when I grow up, can

32:13

I go wherever I want? I said, yes. Where would you

32:15

like to go? He said, I wanna go on Catchphrase. That's

32:20

good. You got a dream, ain't ya? The

32:24

CEO of Woolworth's pocket list has

32:26

got reopening Woolworths. Whereas he's got

32:28

Catchphrase. Catchphrase is Stephen Mulhern. Yeah.

32:31

Well. You got a dare to dream, aren't ya? I

32:33

think that's the beauty of Catchphrase. It appeals to, it's

32:36

just pictures, even if you're a kid, you can walk

32:38

out. You gotta know the phrases, but sometimes it'll be

32:41

something you've, there's more aimed at kids. Well

32:43

done. We all wanna go on Catchphrase.

32:45

It's got a dream. I've been on Catchphrase. Have

32:48

you? Did you win? Yeah, I did actually, yeah.

32:51

It was, was it Mulhern? It was

32:53

Mulhern. Yeah, I'm not that

32:55

old. I'm my walker. I

32:58

can't remember who's done it. I was

33:00

Roy Walker. I know, you know. Yeah,

33:04

I know it was Mulhern, and it was Jenny

33:06

Powell, and... Mr.

33:10

Chips? Oh, that's not off, I forgot his

33:12

name. Terrible, I forgot his name. Not

33:14

Rick Mail, A. Deblinson. And

33:18

Jenny Powell, I'm sure you all might be

33:20

telling, it was the

33:22

worst Catchphrase player I've ever seen in my

33:24

life. Just checking anything. Just not like, so

33:26

far. It's got one right. I

33:30

mean, it does, I think that game, comics, we all

33:32

talk, comics talk about it a lot, because out of

33:34

all the quizzes, that's the one that really lends itself

33:36

to a comics brain. Yeah, yeah. Because we think like

33:38

that anyway. We're always looking at things and going, how

33:40

can we make that into a observation

33:43

or a common phrase or whatever? So yeah, did

33:45

all right. Did all right. Craig Bailey, he says,

33:47

my son didn't say this, but because my dog

33:49

barks at the postman, my son now barks at

33:51

the postman, it's very odd. It's gotta be done.

33:54

It's just learned behaviour, isn't it? It's about our

33:57

postman, and that's, you know. Clearly. As

33:59

a duo. Yeah, yeah. I've been, none of

34:01

it. Daniel Evans says, no not

34:03

Daniel Evans, I've done Daniel, sorry. Oh

34:05

no, I haven't, no. Right, try that. Daniel

34:08

Evans says, I took my daughter to Rome for

34:10

a long weekend and explained this is where pizza

34:12

comes from. She says, no, it all comes from

34:14

Domino's. Yeah, well, yeah. Could

34:17

probably do. Well, it will do. I mean, it's funny

34:19

though, when you take kids to the place where pizza

34:21

comes from and they just, and they turn their nose

34:23

up and they're like, what's this? They've

34:25

got no, they don't understand the bigger picture, do

34:28

they? No. I

34:30

was at the Radio Times thing, that Radio

34:32

Times and I said to myself, look, look,

34:34

and he went, why do you keep

34:36

showing me pictures of you on magazines? Because

34:40

about, when they're Christmas special, we're on the, you

34:42

know, MTV Times again. And I was like, I

34:44

don't, I'm just showing you because I'm on the

34:46

front of you, I just keep doing it. I

34:48

think it's funny, and he's like, yes, it's funny.

34:50

And I was like, all right, forget it then.

34:54

You're gonna need some Hasi, you're gonna need aFreshie you're gonna

34:56

need a I

35:24

know a lot of you problem mate. This is

35:26

not a you problem, but do we need to

35:28

take it further up the He

35:31

listens So

35:33

pull you've got Jason's number right you

35:36

have got my number okay Where's

35:38

my mugs gone mate? We want a plate. I

35:41

want a plate But minus these face on

35:43

it from the 1800s from the 1800s where I was One

35:49

of us to share it from one of us Go on we'll

35:51

just do that'll be two minutes on that yeah We'd

35:57

like that sorted anyway for the time being it's a

36:00

It's a cheapo, absolute radio

36:02

mug that you could win, okay? But at

36:04

the same time, emails cost nothing,

36:06

so you're still up. Yeah,

36:09

if you win, okay. Right,

36:11

Phil Kine says, the

36:13

British nuclear submarine HMS Artful can

36:15

stay submerged for 25 years without

36:19

having to surface the air. Really?

36:21

The reactor only needs servicing every quarter

36:23

century and can produce breathable air and

36:25

drinkable water from the sea. Oh,

36:28

wow. Yeah, they're on Airbnb, that's what you

36:30

said. Yeah, exactly. You do.

36:33

I like it. Yeah. I

36:35

would stay there. I'd stay there, yeah.

36:37

But food and that, surely. It must be. You could have

36:39

25 years worth of food, don't you? You could have like

36:41

five years worth, couldn't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before you need

36:44

to actually go up. You know what I mean? Exactly. It's

36:46

pop up in the middle of the high

36:48

street with it, yeah. That's a good

36:50

one, that's the HMS Artful, my goodness.

36:53

Marianne Taylor says, Sylvester McCoy was

36:55

once a bodyguard for the Rolling

36:57

Stones. Sylvester McCoy.

36:59

Sylvester McCoy. Was

37:01

he older than the Rolling

37:04

Stones, didn't he? But then I can

37:06

tell. No, he's probably not. He's probably the same

37:08

age, but maybe a bit younger. But either way,

37:10

he's not a big chap, is

37:12

he? No, I don't expect so.

37:14

Was it in a video or something? Like,

37:17

you know. Well, good, those are good facts,

37:19

they're good facts. I like that. One more, let's

37:21

go with Rob Pilling. No one

37:23

is ever born in the Vatican

37:25

State. Mm, okay.

37:29

What's that about? I don't know, let's get used

37:31

to it. No asps all there? Maybe,

37:33

yeah. Oh, I think it's about a bit over.

37:36

Yeah, true, yeah. Or is it

37:38

just because it's full of old, old, old

37:40

men? Yeah, maybe, maybe.

37:43

Maybe. Oh, that's good.

37:45

But they have that, it's probably an urban legend, but

37:47

I remember there used to be something years ago where

37:49

they were like, no one's ever died in Disneyland. Really?

37:53

Yeah, the fact, the sort of, I'm putting facts in

37:55

vertical ones, no one has

37:57

ever died in Disneyland because... The

38:00

place where you would take someone who's had

38:02

a terrible accident or a heart

38:05

attack or whatever It was officially off the... Was

38:07

officially not in Disneyland, yeah What if you just,

38:09

you know, drop down dead there and then? Yeah,

38:12

but they announced it They

38:15

did announce it there than the other place Yeah,

38:17

it's probably apocryphal but it's a good one But

38:19

anyway, that's the same thing with this one No

38:21

one's ever born in the Vatican State Yeah,

38:24

maybe Take them elsewhere Yeah Some

38:26

good ones Warren Marlowe's got a fax

38:28

for us, he says, no crocodile has ever died

38:30

of old age Really? What,

38:33

they all get... They all die of her? They just get

38:35

killed by somebody Is that right? Who's killing a crocodile, mate?

38:38

Think of all this, Steve An old crocodile though An

38:40

old one He's just gone, I've done me

38:42

crockin' Now I just wanna potter around

38:46

Just maybe go to the bookies Watch

38:48

a bit of telly Yeah, but what's killing them? And he's gone, God

38:50

yeah! I don't know I

38:52

don't know Unless

38:55

they catch something awful, maybe I don't know I

38:57

don't mean like food-wise, I mean like a disease

38:59

or something, but... It seems

39:01

random that it's just a crocodile I need to

39:03

know more about that I can't work out why

39:05

Why? There's no crocodile ever died of old age

39:08

Jake Mason says, Dolly Parton once entered

39:10

a lookalike competition and lost I think that

39:12

might be apocryphal Because I've heard

39:14

that about Elvis Yeah, I've

39:16

heard about Robin Asquith Right,

39:18

well there you go 10 seconds in the Robin

39:20

Asquith lookalike competition I like our reference points Yeah

39:22

Very, don't they? Yeah, that's what I mean, yeah

39:26

And Carl and Jack, aged nine, that means nothing

39:28

to us Yeah, no, we don't

39:30

want to sway us We don't sway us just because it's

39:32

a kid We say that, but then it always does a

39:35

little tiny bit A little tiny bit, tiny bit My son

39:37

and I listen to your show every week and he always

39:39

asks to send in a fact So here you go Go

39:41

on In Michael Jackson's music

39:43

video, beat it Beat it, sorry

39:45

Beat Beat it Yes

39:49

Alright, alright There are

39:51

no holes or pockets in the pool table 2.25

39:55

in I

39:58

remember when he walks past the pool but I just hold

40:00

on to the end as a bit of a dance. There's no holes in

40:02

there. No holes in it, yeah. Oh, good

40:04

to know, good to know. I gotta

40:07

say, the more I hear about Michael Jackson, the

40:09

weirder he is. Mm, yeah, yeah. Something like that.

40:11

But that's a particularly mad one. Molly

40:14

Little says, Boeing used potatoes

40:16

to test their in-flight wifi.

40:18

The project was even called

40:20

SPUDs, which stands for Synthetic

40:23

Personnel using Dialectic Substitution. What?

40:26

What were they using potatoes for then? I don't

40:29

know. Testing wifi. Wifi, what does

40:31

that mean? I

40:33

don't know. Don't get it, don't get it. Good one though,

40:35

it's good one because it's making me think. Yeah,

40:38

yeah, yeah. Do I wanna Google it though,

40:40

that's the question. Jackie

40:43

says, when you do a Google query,

40:46

1,000 computers are used to find the answer

40:48

in naught point two seconds. Really?

40:52

So you just type anything into Google, 1,000

40:54

computers are looking for you. Wow.

40:58

Scary, isn't it all that? I

41:00

mean, yeah, it is, isn't it? All that AI

41:02

stuff and all that, it's terrifying, isn't it? Yeah,

41:04

yeah. Did you see the big toy at

41:07

Christmas was, I

41:09

don't know anyone who bought it, but lead up

41:11

to Christmas, they were talking about 3D printers for

41:13

kids. Right. Where

41:15

they could make their own toys and figures

41:18

and cars and stuff like that with a

41:20

little mini 3D printer. Really? Oh, I do

41:22

remember that scene, actually. It came up a

41:25

lot. I was just thinking, I

41:27

don't mean to sort of belittle

41:30

anything, but I feel like we've not really

41:32

nailed the 2D printer yet. Like, yeah.

41:35

Like even now, trying to connect this one

41:37

to the wifi. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next to

41:39

my printer upstairs is a scan of my

41:41

own, like

41:43

a photocopy of my own hand doing

41:45

a hand gesture just because

41:47

it wouldn't work. And you can guess which hand gesture

41:49

I'm doing. Yes, I'm sure. Just a one finger. But

41:52

it's next to it. Like,

41:54

you will do this. I'm stood next to

41:56

you and I can't print this thing out that I need to

41:58

print out now. I need it. I

42:01

walked in, this is

42:03

to be fair about 20 years ago, but I

42:05

walked into my brother who was in my mum's

42:07

office at the time, and he

42:09

was doing some work for college at

42:12

uni, whatever, and I could hear him raging.

42:15

And as I walked in, he had the monitor of the

42:17

computer. Imagine what the monitors were like back then as well.

42:19

Big old things, yeah. He

42:21

had the monitor in his hand,

42:23

and he was facing it towards

42:25

the printer, going, he's there! Showing

42:27

it here. He's located there!

42:31

Like the screen in the

42:33

eye. Exactly. So

42:35

he would have done it with the heavy bit, the back pin.

42:38

Wouldn't have worked. He would have seen it. He

42:40

would have seen it in the back of his

42:42

head, didn't he? Last fact here, Peter Ackerman says,

42:44

there's a railway in Japan that runs on ramen

42:47

noodle broth. Get off! Look

42:50

at that. Well, that's a bit like

42:52

him back to the future, doesn't it? Back to

42:54

the future too when he starts using rubbish. Yeah,

42:56

banana peel and all that, yeah. But I mean,

42:58

ramen broth. Yeah. That's

43:00

very good, isn't it? That is very good. Someone gave me,

43:02

talking about to the future, they make an appearance in the

43:05

Big Nightly musicals, which you can see on the iPlayer now

43:07

on the BBC. It was on telly last night,

43:09

I hope you enjoyed. But I

43:11

wrote a little, just a little intro into the

43:13

fact that we had the car and Doc Brown

43:15

and Martin McFly in

43:18

the arena. And

43:20

I said, and the music started playing. Oh

43:22

my goodness, I said, I recognise this music.

43:25

And then a little, I go, I feel

43:27

like I just heard a car

43:29

pull up. And then I go, I went, I

43:31

can smell plutonium. Right,

43:35

and then they're there in the background. Then

43:37

they carry on with their thing. One

43:40

of the runners on the show goes, and

43:43

Jason, like real, like if you

43:45

were gonna draw a nerd. Yeah, yeah, okay.

43:47

Yeah, you know, he'd come over and he

43:49

went, Jason, I like

43:51

your joke about to the future. I said, oh, thanks mate.

43:54

He went, factually though, if

43:57

by the time you can smell plutonium,

44:00

dead. Alright mate. I'm

44:02

not gonna let that get in the

44:04

way of what I just said.

44:06

It's just a joke. It's just a joke. Just having a laugh

44:08

at it. Just having a little chuckle

44:10

about erm... He says gigawatts instead of gigawatts. I

44:12

mean none of it makes sense. Exactly. It's a

44:15

bit of fun. Bit of fun.

44:18

Some good facts there. We'll pick

44:20

a winner after this. Absolute

44:23

radio. Manage. Where real

44:25

music matters. Okay good morning. We have

44:27

got our facts lined up. We're gonna pick a

44:30

winner. I'm gonna rattle through them in case you

44:32

forgot. We had Phil who said. There's

44:34

some good ones this week. They're all

44:37

strong. They're all strong. HMS Artful is

44:39

the submarine that can be submerged for

44:41

25 years without surf. Love

44:43

it. Feel like it's the full fact though. Yeah

44:46

it is to be fair. Sylvester McCoy was once

44:48

a bodyguard for the Rolling Stones from

44:50

Marianne. Rob told us that no one was ever

44:53

born in the Vatican State. No crocodile has ever

44:55

died of old age. We can't wear that one

44:57

out from Warren. Charlie Parton once

44:59

entered a lookalike competition and lost. That was

45:01

Jake. This is from

45:04

Jack and Carl who told us that in

45:06

the music video for Beat It, Michael Jackson's

45:08

song, there's no holes or pockets in the

45:10

pool table. Molly Little

45:12

told us that potatoes were used to

45:14

test in-flight wifi for Boeing. Google

45:17

query, thousands of computers are used to find an

45:19

answer in 0.2 seconds and Peter told us that

45:21

it was a railway line in Japan used on

45:24

ramen noodle broth. What do you reckon? Steve Edge.

45:27

I'm interested in the ramen noodle broth. I'm

45:29

interested in Sylvester McCoy but I want to

45:31

know why the crocodiles never die of old

45:33

age. I think that's got to be that. Is

45:35

that the one getting to you? Yeah because I

45:37

mean that's a very specific fact and you can

45:39

throw that out whenever you see a crocodile or

45:41

an alligator and pretend you don't know what the

45:43

difference is. Yeah fair

45:45

enough. Alright well let's find

45:47

out then. Let's actually Google

45:51

it. Right says here. This

45:55

is Reddit. Can we use

45:57

Reddit as a fact? Is

46:00

it true crocodiles are alligators can't die from

46:02

all days because but die because they can't

46:05

feed themselves as in they become so big

46:08

They can't find enough food and die

46:10

which means if we feed an alligator

46:12

or crocodile enough it would grow to

46:14

an enormous size Forever,

46:16

what I keep screwing in it I'm

46:20

not finding it. Where did you find the fact here at them

46:22

when you were when you were? Star

46:26

Hey, we've set a

46:28

limit at BBC by size you can't use

46:30

the daily star Who

46:36

spoke to the daily star It

46:39

says here on Quora. I don't really know what this

46:41

website. Yeah, but it seems to be very popular Anytime

46:44

you ask a question it is doesn't it

46:46

and then it'll send you an email about a weight later Go

46:48

he's still interested in crocodiles died of old age Yeah,

46:55

well I've

47:01

one here It says wrapping up that crocodiles

47:03

and alligators do not die from old age

47:06

But for mother reason such as injuries diseases

47:08

starvation due to lack starvation or

47:10

you know Yeah like they grow bigger and they

47:12

can't they can't get that

47:14

amount of food for The

47:16

size they are as fast as they

47:18

need to go for the age they are so

47:20

eventually they just need more they need lots and

47:23

lots of food and They

47:25

can't get it. Well, it does look like leg

47:28

says on vice The

47:30

same vice here that there's no like they

47:33

found one female specimen that lived before

47:35

400 years. She's five-meter shark Five-meter

47:39

long sorry. I don't

47:41

know. Oh, no, that's a no. That was a shark. I don't I'm

47:43

talking about I don't know

47:45

Steve it feels egginess one, but it slips through

47:48

the net from a demo Does

47:50

that well Well,

47:52

it looked and they're not even my mugs anymore. Don't know

47:54

what's going on. So We're

47:57

gonna I'm gonna allow it on this occasion

47:59

because it does sound sound like sort

48:01

of factual. So we're gonna go with it. One of those facts

48:03

that you can say, and then people go, what you mean? And

48:06

then you give like half an hour to like, well they did

48:08

kind of food, they can't

48:10

eat food. They can't get that food because

48:12

they're big now. And

48:14

then because they're big, there's no little food.

48:17

You know. And it's, they

48:19

have five facts in many

48:21

ways. Perfect. If

48:23

you want to join in and send us a fact or a semi-fact, all

48:26

you gotta do is email us, go to absoluteradio.co.uk. On

48:32

New Morning, 8-11, Jason Manford

48:35

on Absolute Radio. Where real

48:37

music matters. We've got an

48:40

email here from Yasha. Right.

48:43

It's a question for Steve. And she's actually written,

48:45

question for Steve, question for Steve, question

48:47

for Steve, question for Steve, she's actually typed it all

48:50

out. You don't have to do that, but I do

48:52

like it. No, it'll get you noticed. Question for Steve.

48:54

Yeah. So she's got a question

48:57

about your co-star in Madame Blanc, Steve,

48:59

which is, is Robin Asquith's

49:02

bouffant hair real? I've never seen a

49:04

man of that age with

49:06

so much hair. No, and do you

49:08

know the other thing about it is, it is real,

49:10

it's all real. The other thing about it is, he

49:13

doesn't dye it either. So he's got, that is the

49:15

colour of his hair, that is the thickness of his

49:17

hair, that is the bouffant, obviously

49:19

they bouff it up a little bit. He doesn't

49:21

walk around with hair like

49:23

that. But you know, he's great hair.

49:26

He hangs like four miles a day in the, you

49:28

know, suit, doesn't he? Healthy man. But

49:30

yeah, no, no grey. It's mad,

49:32

isn't it? Good hair. Good hair, his own

49:34

teeth, his own hair. Yeah.

49:37

Say what? Fair plays, still good looking lad as well, you

49:39

know. Yeah. I mean,

49:42

yeah. It's smashing it. Well,

49:45

I wish I, I'm, I might, I feel like I've done

49:47

all right at my 42, and I feel like I'm

49:49

doing all right with my hair, but. Yeah, there's

49:51

a point, I think there's a point where you get to,

49:53

where you go, well, I've done well together. I'll

49:56

fall that tomorrow. I can

49:58

feel fair, I got this far. Sweaty in. It's

50:00

what he's in 30's, he got through it and now... Yeah,

50:02

I mean I went to uni with a lad who went

50:04

sort of bald when he was like 19 and I remember

50:06

going... Yeah, that must be different. Yeah,

50:08

that's tough. It does feel like the

50:10

only thing that people seem to be

50:12

allowed to joke about. Yeah, it really

50:15

is, yeah. Do you know what

50:17

I mean? You're not allowed to joke about anything really

50:19

about... You're certainly not allowed to joke about anything on

50:21

a woman's body, face, head, anything at all. Yeah. I

50:24

feel like men being bald is still a fair game.

50:26

Yeah, and it wouldn't be in reverse. You would never

50:28

say to a woman. Oh my goodness. You'd never say

50:30

that, would you? No,

50:34

you'd be awful. The idea of saying that would... Horrible

50:36

thing to say to a woman. But for

50:38

some reason, blokes are supposed to deal with it and have a lasso. Yeah,

50:40

and you just chase them around, patting them on the back of the head

50:42

like Benny Hill. That's

50:45

normal, apparently. Mad,

50:48

isn't it? Mad that was a little odd. Anyway,
