Bush and Richie here with another Daily Takeaway

0:02

for you. Do you know sometimes one of the greatest

0:04

things about adulthood, about growing

0:07

up, is the opportunity to do

0:09

things as a kid that you were forbidden

0:12

to do, but absolutely

0:14

no comeback whatsoever? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would

0:16

you agree with that as a statement? I think that's fair. Let

0:18

me show you a picture of something this morning. What

0:21

do you see there?

0:22

Oh yeah, that looks to be your lawn. You put

0:25

quite a few photos of your lawn on your Instagram

0:27

feed, don't you? I do, I love my lawn. It's

0:29

nice stripes, fair play to you, you've got some good

0:31

stripes on there. Nice stripes, yes,

0:33

but what about the stripes do you see

0:36

that I would not have been able to do when I was

0:38

little? What

0:40

do you mean, get them in a line? Well, that's

0:43

what a stripe is, otherwise it's not a stripe, is it? I

0:45

don't understand what you mean. Say what you see, come on. Look

0:49

at the stripes. I don't know what you

0:51

mean, get them going different ways? Well,

0:54

that's what stripes do, but look at

0:56

the shape of the lawn and the stripes. Get

0:58

them at an angle? Yeah, they're diagonal.

1:01

Yeah, but what's your point? Well,

1:07

my point is if I was a kid and

1:09

I'd mown the lawn diagonally,

1:11

my old man would come home and tell me off and say, do it

1:13

straight. Really? But now, it's

1:16

my house. If your dad saw you doing that

1:18

level of lawn, and that's a compliment, he'd

1:21

put you into some form of, I

1:23

don't know, competition. No, do you know what? Some lawning

1:25

competition. I would love to

1:27

have thought that. I would love to have thought, but I

1:30

vividly remember as a child, doing

1:32

what I thought looked an amazing lawn,

1:35

in that I did sort

1:37

of like vertical stripes, and then

1:39

horizontal stripes. It looked like tartan. Yeah,

1:41

yeah, yeah. And he came home, looked out the back

1:43

window, and went, stripes, please.

1:45

I don't want to take everything back to the Beckham documentary.

1:47

It seems like this podcast at the moment always goes back to Beckham. But,

1:50

you know, David Beckham's dad was very hard on him. He

1:52

was, yeah, exactly. And what was his phrase? He said that

1:54

if he was telling him how good he was, then he had nothing to

1:56

work towards. Yeah, that's true. And his dad was employing the same

1:58

thing. And that is why I've got the lawn.

1:59

I have today unfortunately haven't won any

2:02

European competition so to your lawn mowie I'm

2:05

daily take away Mr.

2:07

Richie's daily take away Worst

2:10

day of the week working week is nearly

2:12

done. What did the voice

2:15

end you say it's every Tuesday You don't go it. What was

2:17

your problem? The worst day of the working week.

2:19

Thankfully is nearly done. Where's the evidence

2:21

based on it? I don't have pay for work Well, this is a

2:23

very interesting folks because this is not the first one We're not having

2:25

an argument here not having a falling out but within 12 seconds

2:28

Well, he's always he's always like in Tuesdays off

2:30

and I feel like it gets doesn't get a fair

2:32

rub of the green My logic about Tuesdays

2:35

is Monday's gone and I now already

2:37

can't remember what happened at the weekend Right

2:39

and Friday is too far away for me

2:41

to get excited about the next weekend. So

2:44

Tuesday rubbish day Monday

2:46

You're in the afterglow of the weekend Wednesday

2:48

or after the week Thursday's near the weekend

2:50

Friday It's the weekend spare us the rest of the workings

2:53

on that day But

2:55

you know, there's other people who hate Sundays and I find

2:57

it fascinating Everyone seems to have like a

2:59

nemesis day of the week, you know, I mean

3:01

like Sunday people say pit stomach feeling

3:03

And they hate Sunday. Well, it's Sunday

3:05

is a bit roast dinners brass bands

3:08

and back to school I want to be psychiatrist,

3:10

but if you're hating Sunday because you're thinking

3:12

is back to school tomorrow What you actually hate is Monday

3:15

And if it's the impending doom the

3:17

arrival of Monday that makes Sunday so kind

3:19

of such a malaise It's like your mom iron in

3:21

your uniform with the big light on that's Sunday in

3:24

it. Yeah true That's life or whatever

3:26

with with Esther Ranson on

3:28

a web So here's an interesting experiment

3:30

that's one for the kids for you there If you keep

3:32

you could permanently delete a

3:34

day of the week, right? What day of the week would

3:36

it be and why? Can I give you my day? What

3:38

you get? For me I'd

3:40

get rid of Friday Would you Friday used to

3:43

be brilliant? Do you ever Friday was great? Could you be

3:45

on those days when people might go for a couple of beers after

3:47

the show and the you know The center of London be kind

3:49

of buzzing but now everyone works from home Friday's

3:52

ghost town Thursdays in you Friday As you

3:54

say quite regularly at the start of Thursday

3:56

show another one of my catchphrase other catchphrase Then we're

3:58

doing the days of the week equivalent of the hot

4:01

air balloon debate from school. Do you remember that? Where one of you gets

4:03

chucked off the edge of the hot air balloon, you have to

4:06

argue which one it's going to be. Oh, I like that. That's

4:08

just something we did in our school. I wanted it to West Country. We never did

4:10

a hot air balloon debate, but I like it. Well, this is what it

4:12

is. We're asking you, if you could, if you

4:14

had the power to permanently delete

4:17

one day of the week, what would it be and why? We just

4:19

kind of got started because Tuesday

4:21

gets a lot of clog in the show. We're trying to work out why. Dan's

4:24

got in touch, actually, trying to save Tuesday. Oh.

4:27

First, Dave is working weekend Dungeons and Dragons

4:29

night, so please don't delete it. He sounds

4:31

like my kind of guy. Dave G

4:34

says it's got to be Thursday. It's there primarily

4:36

to stall the coming weekend. Absolutely

4:39

useless, Dave. Hashtag get rid. For

4:41

various reasons, we are in a different studio

4:43

today. We're all sat in a line like we're

4:46

taking phone calls on crime watch UK. That's

4:48

the weirdest thing. And also, way too

4:50

close together. And we'll also let you in on things.

4:53

Our normal producer is back

4:55

after his twenty five day

4:57

holiday. And it's all just a little

4:59

bit giddy. I can't really call how tonight's show

5:02

is going to go. It's almost like Adam's forgotten 80 percent

5:05

of how we normally do. Let's just see how we

5:07

get on. Kathy's been on. She says, don't want to delete

5:09

it, but we'd like to celebrate Christmas every four

5:11

years like the Olympics. Then it will feel really

5:13

special. And I won't mind shops stocking Christmas

5:16

things in August. Not a bad idea. We'll

5:18

take these into consideration. We'll write it down. She's coming

5:20

in. Hey, look, you can delete the outbreaks, kind

5:22

of. If you want to hear Absolute Radio without the outbreaks,

5:24

you can do that with Absolute Radio Premium. You

5:27

can also hear our exclusive stations, including

5:29

the brand new Absolute Radio Halloween.

5:31

5:34

5:38

5:41

one of ten exclusive stations that

5:43

you can get right now and with a

5:45

5:57

absoluteradio.co.uk.

5:59

is Bush and Richard's Daily

6:02

takeaway. Tom

6:03

says shout out to all the shift

6:05

workers, where by far the worst day of the week is Saturday.

6:08

Days off during the week are very pleasant as

6:10

a result. Good point, good point. Will,

6:13

what are you getting rid of? I'm not getting rid of any,

6:15

because that's the start of anarchy.

6:17

Start of anarchy, Will, what are you saying? Yeah, because

6:19

next thing you get rid of a diet and you won't be happy

6:21

with that, and then it'll be a month, then it'll be a year, and

6:23

when will you stop? If you're gonna get rid of a month, come

6:25

back at 4 January. Yeah. Or

6:28

February. 5 January, that's my birthday. Sorry,

6:30

mate, I'm afraid you're out. LAUGHTER

6:33

All right, then, let's move on. Simon's on the line now.

6:36

What day of the week are you getting rid of, fella? Well,

6:38

all of them, really, because you just

6:40

get rid of all of the names, renumber

6:43

them 1 to 6, and then

6:45

we work 1, 2, 3, 4, have 5

6:48

and 6 off, and then it starts again. OK,

6:51

so you think it's the day's name is one

6:53

of the reasons why people attach certain

6:55

feelings towards it, like Tuesday, or they don't like

6:57

Sunday, or whatever? Yeah,

7:00

because if you... Nobody's gonna delete Saturday

7:02

or Sunday, and you must delete...

7:06

Oh, yeah, unfortunately, we've lost Simon

7:08

there, and he was in the midst of quite some

7:10

theory. It's also the powers-that-be have tried

7:12

to cut Simon off because they want to silence his views on this.

7:15

Exactly. The only thing I'm concerned about is

7:17

he said 1 to 6, and there are seven days

7:19

in the week, so he's getting rid of a

7:21

day and then bringing them back renamed 1

7:23

to 6. Now, is that better for

7:26

us as workers or something, and we're gonna be working more? I

7:28

cut it at this point, this Orwellian

7:31

future that Simon is painting in this call.

7:33

I'm not 100% sure how it pans out. What's

7:36

happened to Sunday? That's the big question. A

7:37

daily takeaway. What's

7:39

your Richie's daily takeaway? This person here

7:42

says, day of the week. Why don't we add an

7:44

extra day at the weekend and call

7:46

it Chill Day? So that's

7:48

an eight-day week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

7:50

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Chill

7:53

Day. That's not bad. That's pretty good. I

7:55

think we'd aged less as well. Yeah, we

7:57

would take longer for a birthday to come round. getting

8:00

quite a lot of stick about maths as well so let's not get involved

8:02

in that. Yeah every Tuesday we

8:04

ask you to blow our minds like I said, it doesn't

8:06

take much sometimes but some of the stuff over

8:09

the last couple of weeks genuinely has

8:11

blown our minds.

8:13

I think someone's got the

8:15

wrong music. I think someone has got the wrong music

8:18

but we'll just go with it. That's fine,

8:20

he's back off holiday. He's back off holiday,

8:23

he doesn't know what he's doing, we're gonna get him a manual

8:25

for the desk and for the show

8:27

and the music we use for various features. Is

8:30

this a refresher course I think? What?

8:34

We don't want to know, that's blown our minds

8:36

that you can be this bad back off holiday.

8:40

Our producer's returned after 10 days I think

8:42

his mind is still into you. Brov Nick! Starting

8:44

us off tonight is Kitty who's on the line. How are you doing Kitty?

8:47

I'm good thank you. We are very very good,

8:49

we're very

8:50

keen and excited to hear your little

8:53

life hack.
