On the slate today, we

1:13
pronunciation query. You can
1:15
say twenty six without

using baton, but if

it's twenty six, you've
1:21
got to use your
1:23
tongue. We delicately consider
1:25
the loss of loved
1:27
ones. Organs so guard the
1:30
house unless it's for a

5:48
Over the airwaves equal to Sissy across
5:50
the table with friends, having a cup
5:53
of tea or something stronger and solving
5:55
all the problems that human existence throws
5:57
It is. So now onto. A little
5:59
girl I have. Knowing. Michael
6:02
is always keen to raise an
6:04
eyebrow about the misuse or miss
6:06
pronunciation of the English language hi.
6:08
I'm perplexed by certain numerical pronunciation.
6:11
That. You both have spoken Michael
6:13
a big accused of a
6:16
miss pronunciation him. Now,
6:18
but by an Australian remember.
6:22
Wasn't. Gonna say but you
6:24
have Now say this out
6:26
loud. Six. Or. Six.
6:29
I was born into British Territory before coming
6:32
to Australia. The land of slang A
6:34
My father was very much into letting.
6:36
Us. Know that the Royal We
6:38
speak the Queen's English. I
6:40
heard that so many times as a child. But
6:43
what I noted is that. Six.
6:47
You pronounce six. I.
6:49
Wasn't aware of that s I'm
6:51
honest asked us to. Lovely Rosamund.
6:53
Pike who I also heard on the
6:55
Red carpet. you recently mentioned the Twenty
6:58
Six. Pronounce. Hit
7:00
twenty six. Is
7:02
of it's is quite put.
7:04
Super awesome place for term
7:06
and services to and northerners
7:08
don't go to stick with
7:10
Enron. Isn't an explanation to
7:13
that? Is. It a tongue
7:15
tie quandary with the X sound
7:17
immediately being followed by the Sun
7:19
sound being something that is easier
7:21
to create. A shortcut, I'm intrigued.
7:23
and in light of your recent
7:25
chest about celebrity much oh with
7:27
change the subject completely. Here, right?
7:29
Okay, let me just. I'm just
7:31
going Reagan and In Light. Of
7:34
your research aspect, celebrity much. When
7:36
listening all I shouted out in the
7:38
car a line of ties of socks
7:41
within Michael's color and design preferences. Of
7:43
course it makes perfect sense. We have
7:45
had so much about them. I have
7:48
a vision of Michael sitting in a
7:50
design room and a wingback chair waving
7:52
his hand away with the French know
7:55
as ties and Sox were presented and
7:57
subsequently dismissed the some sort of floor.
8:00
I think there is a whole other documentary
8:02
and that. To. Thank you
8:04
again And yes, Michael, It was not out of
8:06
character for my father to march. Into our school
8:08
to brace our teachers when our. Wonderful when
8:10
are wonderful Italy Cursive handwriting.
8:13
Was marked down when we presented are
8:15
written homework. The only option taught was
8:17
ugly in his eyes. Those. Teachers
8:20
Newton never mess with him or
8:22
ah, handwriting. Again, thank you again for
8:24
such a fun and entertaining. Podcast Love
8:27
to both and your lovely family
8:29
Amanda of To Roka, New South
8:31
Wales, Australia Well what can I
8:34
say? I thought that I was
8:36
pronounce the word six. Six.
8:39
Six. How would
8:42
you say what I say
8:44
walls six or six six
8:46
He would you say the
8:48
past six or six. Seats
8:51
Wednesday: Six. Synonymous
8:54
newest video issues. Truth.
8:56
it's worth it. The
8:58
Twenty Six. And
9:01
smart and roots on the littler
9:03
worthy. What more does the Twenty
9:05
six? Thousand
9:08
four months? How You Do this?
9:12
Because he has to use your
9:14
tongue to say twenty Six exact
9:16
way. Otherwise you'd say that the
9:19
Twenty six, Twenty Six A M
9:21
Twenty Six. Twenty. Six
9:23
Human is it Off with omelet
9:25
Song would let twenty six. Twenty
9:28
Six is fine. No,
9:30
Twenty Six. I know
9:32
you can say twenty
9:34
six without using baton,
9:37
but if it's Twenty
9:39
six, you've got to
9:41
use your tongue when
9:43
you never would. So
9:45
it does sound like
9:47
twenty six because you're
9:49
not prepared in public
9:51
to say that Twenty
9:53
Six. The
9:57
town is laws for that.
10:00
Now and of. His
10:03
see what? You can say
10:05
this without your tongue. Because.
10:08
It then comes out is. Nothing.
10:11
This because you're missing the point.
10:15
Six when point? six. Twenty.
10:17
Six. Is all.
10:19
The twenty six you pretty.
10:21
Good accent, but some people allegedly
10:24
us, don't We just say twenty
10:26
six. As. Your
10:29
doctor see it. Twenty six. Months.
10:32
You're not getting it amount on so. Our top
10:34
make him understand kid I just say
10:36
to deals the funniest that the whole.
10:38
Exchange with that ppg. I had
10:40
to turn down the volume on
10:42
his headphones because he was literally
10:44
being blasted by a massive michael.
10:47
what to rent But you know
10:49
you Love was nice and rounds,
10:51
but it was just saying. If
10:53
he wants to pronounce twenty Six,
10:56
you have to use your town.
10:58
And if you use your
11:01
tongue, spend, it's quite weird.
11:04
If I suddenly said, you know
11:06
how many people may walk on
11:09
Dad as your policies are, we've
11:11
decided against the Twenty Six. S
11:15
As it or to says years
11:17
ago. So I'm glad I still
11:19
says this is that. It's.
11:21
Made me laugh anyway. I
11:24
think the answer is that we
11:26
should all be same the Twenty
11:28
sixth properly with an axe. but
11:30
we dead because it's up. As
11:32
Michael says, it's a bit of
11:34
a mouthful. Said Twenty six I
11:36
think is perfectly acceptable and all
11:38
the air space it is the
11:40
experts Long as the Twenty Six.
11:43
Thirty Six is not the Seventy
11:45
Sixers got the i say end
11:47
of it and twenty six with
11:49
acts. But the Twenty Six. Sneezes.
11:53
Sets of the end of it when
11:55
you're missing the point. So
11:57
you see Twenty Six. There's.
12:00
No accident if you say the
12:02
twenty six. You. Putting an accident,
12:05
Twenty six: You're not putting an ex in
12:07
it. But. I'd you're not getting you, Are
12:09
you ppg? I helped me out here. Are you
12:11
getting it? Or. Mother's Socks and
12:13
saw this ad say let's move on
12:15
to socks and size. I'm
12:17
thinking that we should get on. This
12:19
michael. Have. A particular good
12:22
time to deals. He's got a
12:24
pale green tie with move spots.
12:26
And. He's matched it with a pocket.
12:28
Square. hate that word to know
12:31

12:33
for sounds nice and straight. I
12:35
mean this one is square where
12:37
he owns the won a moron
12:39
in it's Find somebody or winner.
12:41
We've talked about her losses to
12:43
settle down. Yes, I think she is to
12:45
scene. Of. An outdoor festivals yeah to the
12:47
we should Crack Home Now says
12:50
as. Did India would say my says
12:52
i think sizes Sox Very very good
12:54
idea. For us in terms of much
12:56
unlike and yet the Michael White or
12:58
Which and Whitehall's collection. Henry.
13:14
Michael I'm twenty four, but my parents
13:17
didn't have mental later in life. My.
13:20
Mom is sixty five and my Dad is seventy three.
13:23
They've. Had a really tough winter with regards to
13:25
losing people close to them. My.
13:27
Dad has been to the funerals of to
13:29
close friends in quick succession and my mom for
13:31
a sassy lost her sister. I've.
13:34
Done my best to support them and they are very
13:36
matter of fact that as you get older people around
13:39
you start to leave you. I
13:41
feel really sorry for them, but it's also made
13:43
me so quite scared about the whole thing. The.
13:45
D was a don't not writing it was
13:47
saying it. I guess the
13:49
question is do you start to feel different about as
13:52
you get older? And. It's still really
13:54
sad when you lose someone. but is
13:56
it different? Surfaces.
13:58
Bit sad for the podcast. I really you might
14:00
not want to read it out. Please keep me
14:02
anonymous. Should. I say.
14:05
We. Are in full accord with you because we've had
14:07
to funerals and a week as well have we not
14:09
Michael? Quite. Recently bonuses you know, cell
14:11
and got to the house unless

He never once saw her lose her temper.
14:54
She's honest people whose so.
14:57
Even. Tempered, laid back, Alive.
15:00
I thought about it as he said
15:02
analysts at you know I did I
15:04
ever saw her loser temporal be or
15:06
actually be sad or she liked to
15:08
laos. She. Was very
15:10
engaging and engaged but never
15:13
cross which is. Amazing. Is.
15:15
Until I may answer. I
15:17
would say the poll officers. Oh yes,
15:20
then she did quite enjoy your rants.
15:22
As to be said, she loved she
15:24
loved of Michael White or Rent. And
15:27
I actually had to. Huge honor. I
15:29
didn't realize it at the time because
15:32
I thought it would be several people
15:34
contributing to the funeral was readings except
15:36
for the Ashley Only to this reading
15:38
and I had this huge honor to
15:40
be asked by her husband Mike. To.
15:43
Read Shakespeare's Sonnets one
15:45
one six at. The.
15:47
Funeral which was. A
15:50
lot daunting because cause loss of
15:52
social media. Retired people that don't
15:54

15:56
and I saw how to city dense. Do it. How
15:59
to still? It's to. The day and I
16:01
basically parachute them. Sort. Of. Did.
16:04
in my been it did there so diverse
16:06
and of it ever think it went quite
16:08
well. does it not like anyone members you
16:10
did it. Views from the thank you and
16:12
it was. It was a lovely lovely service.
16:14
I have to say that at the way
16:16
can I got myself into bit of a
16:18
muddle. Because. I can't say
16:20
I went over sif of. I old friend of
16:22
ours is not to. A weekend sided
16:24
with. Course an elderly gentleman
16:27
he worked in Tv or his last. I
16:29
won't say what he did but he was
16:31
very much a pack of from person a
16:33
technician as to or but the thing about
16:35
him michael. Given that we
16:38
were at the wake with delicious Kuna
16:40
pays. Champagne. But I
16:42
couldn't partake off because I was driving. But
16:44
so I stayed soft as well. He
16:46
didn't Unfortunately, he got crossed into
16:49
the champagne. And. The Canopy as
16:51
he was a specific. So.
16:53
As we chatted to him about
16:55
his career, it's kind of pay
16:57
sprayed. Me and this actor. A
17:00
man a as ended up on the floor at the a
17:02
better pick that up before somebody slips in it. I.
17:05
Mean every single time it the egg men as
17:07
ended up all over his hands it was. It
17:09
was a horror story and I kept kept me
17:11
up to zombie kept looking at one another as
17:14
another business. Sued. Landed on
17:16
my glasses or down my dress
17:18
or anywhere else I it was.
17:22
That event sat. Says been lovely Me
17:24
see A but I must circulate I think
17:27
probably their i think you're being bid on
17:29
sour on this man who are in spades.
17:31
Her yes in trouble length yeah and he
17:33
was a bit of a crisis. He
17:37
hoped to may have laws about
17:39
the B B C in a
17:41
scene. Seventy time every were lasts
17:43
and he was in moments where
17:45
they are quite boring. Job. Description
17:48
of it made it a monster. But
17:53
he wasn't easing the egg sandwich when
17:55
I spoke to him. You would united
17:57
all out of a good at random.
18:00
They really mean he was eating
18:02
a ham sandwich from ebay or
18:04
something a bit more solid. Stupid.
18:06
an egg mayonnaise. Sam. As if
18:09
you have a tendency to say
18:11
that there is not gonna help
18:13
you. It reminds me
18:16
ever remarks that the midwives who
18:18
delivered me. But. This
18:20
is really game Back the mid was
18:22
easier bag with sound of it was
18:25
that delivered. Me came out with a line
18:27
to my mother with a C. Must is invoked,
18:29
Costs involved some kind of nasty. Situation Physical seen
18:31
those those mother stayed in hospitals said the
18:33
lying in period says she's probably in hospital
18:35
for five days. It's what happened in those
18:38
days to the midwives little the same. Spend.
18:40
Longer time with you have a set of is
18:43
a nasty situation that happen because I it. Clearly.
18:47
Deposited. A nappy that went quite

completely divergent views. On something

22:54
very different to Edmunds? wasn't not. Yeah,

23:59
I could say that. Idw him as a

man of respect for him, but
24:03
definitely didn't like his work at

your paintings of this does it say you

are equal in a sense of I've worn
25:14
the dress that I bought his funeral because
25:16
I bought especially for him because I thought
25:18
it's black but it's got a splash of
25:20
color. The Edwin at the Visual ever the
25:22
visual man would a presets basket us. I've
25:24

Shakespeare at resistant or just want to
25:44
say to deals. What's. Good
25:46
enough for Woody Harrelson. The other week
25:48
is good enough and this is why
25:50
Tools I thought I would treat you
25:52
to my rendition of Sonnet One One
25:54
Six. So here goes. Sources
25:56
Lancet and then as I learned that for the
25:59

26:57
Sonnets bread hours hoping, the raw hundred
27:00
and. Fifty Four.
27:03
So. You got hundred and fifty three to
27:05
go. Out and fifty two
27:07
cars would he did One I
27:09
would is Yvonne I've done one.
27:11
say desert guess is up next
27:13
to be you than Michael See
27:16
you better get learning fairly Shakespeare
27:18
I know is to sad the
27:20
Duke of York does fall his
27:22
couch. And To
27:24
Sink which was written by a
27:26
godly mole on Piece of Code
27:28
someone said not really saves me
27:30
I was a spare nafta. yeah
27:33
I'm sorry. Off to say spare
27:35
by Pc. Kirk about Limo yeah
27:37
said the Duke of York style
27:39
with sounds sounds like it could
27:42
be say as sick of them
27:44
for did post. I
27:49
think once just to get back to
27:51
be anonymous email from this young man.
27:54
I think it it doesn't get any
27:56
easier. But you
27:58
you get trained and to it. Because.
28:01
Oversee We've lost lost friends because we're older
28:03
than much older than you are. You get
28:05
trained into it. But the big important thing
28:07
is to try and look after the people
28:09
are left behind because that's the tricky wants
28:11
and weirdly wants the funeral is over. That
28:13
is when people tend to drift away because
28:15
they think are will with in a time
28:17
the big celebration of the person and you
28:19
know they'll be fine know move on. but
28:21
that that's the tricky that's the tricky time.
28:23
Say. That. That would be my
28:26
sort of little extra. Life hacks for this week is
28:28
if you if you do lose somebody always look
28:30
out for the people. That left behind because they
28:32
needed quite a lot of. Input. For
28:34
quite a lot of time The only thing
28:36
I would query about? What do you just
28:38
said Yep. Is. I have
28:41
a suspicion. Yeah, That
28:43
this anonymous person yeah is
28:45
Not a man. Are using to
28:47
my be with a woman I can could
28:49
be. Can be. I think it's
28:51
a woman I can pass. Onto
28:54
yes, I'm making an assumption. What do
28:56
I had any? See their them. Yet.
28:59
Anyway, I think the thing to do
29:01
to if I may be so bold. Is
29:04
not a circus on it. You. Really
29:06
have to enjoy the time that you have.
29:08
Your. Parents are still with you. I
29:11
have the hell and hearty but just enjoy.
29:13
Live in the moments don't I mean look
29:15
back because you have was have lots of
29:17
lovely happy memories. Try not to look forward
29:19
to try to live in the moment and
29:21
enjoy. The moment for was it is because
29:23
none of us know what's around the corner.
29:25
so enjoy. The. Moment That's my other
29:28
little life. Anyway,
29:30
I would like to say again a
29:33
big shoutout to Edwin Mullins and Rosie
29:35
Lego Rosie Bunting is she worked on
29:37
the because they were to. Extraordinary
29:40
people. And we feel. So.
29:43
Blessed. That we got to watch this planet at the
29:45
same time as. Some high Hillary and
29:47
Michael. Another American deal with
29:49
an examination toward British culture and
29:51
traditions here. I'm not certain what
29:53
it is that attracts so many
29:55
of us your podcast, but I'd
29:57
take a guess that it's the.
30:01
I'm visiting England in June and I'll be
30:03
headed straight for Horse Guards hoping to see
30:05
the Kings Parade. I was sad to hear

33:47
to say on this occasion very
33:49
good press for me because he
33:51
said yes. Not only do I

extremists at he dealt with it. Was
34:31
you had dealings with him about decade before.
34:33
Did you know? I mean you'd known
34:35
him Mcgill is a decade before. Both.
34:37
Some considerable time before. Because
34:40
he said to me he came
34:42
to the office and I thought
34:44
we'd just made him for Chance.
34:47
He said to me at the end For
34:49
the last he said there is one thing
34:52
I wanted to have a word with you
34:54
about. Amount is says James Bond. Film.
34:58
And. I said yes. Because.
35:00
He said. I think
35:02
I. Would. Be very good.
35:06
Point to rise if use as I
35:08
think the scripts already been or it.
35:12
He. Said no no. To. Be in
35:14
it. And I said. That
35:16
won't part where you been playing. Series.
35:19
Sublime and I haven't seen the script. But.
35:22
I mean as any one part that I've
35:24
been to Sudan and I said. Last
35:27
in simple James Bond. And
35:29
I says. James Bomb but
35:31

35:34
couldn't play James Bond. He said
35:36
I could. I could. And
35:39
I be bloody good said I. Mean
35:41
took the pad ego. So I
35:43
said, well, I'm. But
35:47
but I have a C called Ring
35:49
on Directs I mean I don't know.
35:51
Cubby Broccoli who was the name of
35:53
the producer and man says. The
35:56
man who started the whole bomb
35:58
thing. I'm. On I
36:00
don't know in particular a Hundred Eighty Nine
36:02
and Obey I'm in New. You'd be coming
36:04

36:06
You just ring a man and least get
36:08
men in. Severe far as. Size.
36:11
Says really think that could
36:13
be tricky. And he said
36:15

I think you know if they wonderful
36:20

36:22
sure you do a very good deal.
36:25
And yeah at nice I made a
36:27
success of it was I'm sure I
36:29
would. we could then in either be
36:31
talking about another bomb film. all blocks
36:34
amount of homes. And
36:36
I said honestly. Ah
36:39
Jeffrey, I'm really sorry that

36:43
is quite some may. So. He
36:45
said, all right well as you insist,
36:47
I'm in awe of the months south.
36:50
