It's Frank Off the Radio, featuring him and that posh radio, and the one with the French name who from South Africa came, they're all here open brackets to rain, close brackets today.
Oh, this is Frank Off the Radio. I'm joined by Emily Dean and Pierre Navelli. Follow us on X and Instagram and email on Frank Off the Radio at.
Avalonukk.com I think that was right. It's a bit odd this week. I'll explain why in a minute, but listen, if you want to WhatsApp us, then listen to this.
Oh, seven, four, five, seven, one, seven, six nine. Oh, seven, five, seven, seven, six nine. Okay, so it's a bit odd this week. I'll be straight with you, because we're not in the
Spirited Spiritland. We can't look outside and see people with berets and goatees, smoking galois and talking about politics. No, no. We're in our individual rooms.
Make us sound like we're in some old boarding house. Well, I'll tell you what, it's a terrible old retro COVID experience. Basically, guys, I have contracted what I suppose is COVID 20 years.
I love this.
I mean, that is very old school of you, Frank.
Well, at least I've had an upgrade.
I haven't stopped with 19, like many people have.
I mean, God knows, I've gone on about Euro 96 for long enough.
I don't want to hold on to COVID's golden years.
Six years have hurt.
Do you know, I've still never had it, Frank.
Really?
I heard that.
Oh, shut up.
I've got, I've got six.
Super immunity.
I'm really bad.
Have you really?
Yeah, I believe I must have.
How are you feeling that you look good?
I have to say.
I feel it's caused some tension in the house.
Kath would like me to be more ill.
What do you mean?
Well, I'm basically living in the attic at the moment.
Not just as wife.
No, yeah, no.
I'm keeping an hour for the Nazis.
Let's put it that way.
So I'm living in the attic on my own,
being forced.
I mean, I really wish I'd had COVID in a Champions League week.
But no, I've had to settle for the league cop, which is a letdown.
So I'm upstairs, my family's downstairs, and they put food on the stairs for me,
like it was a hostage situation.
And I sit on the stairs and talk to them from like a distance and all that.
But I've actually been fine, and Kath is furious.
about it because I you know I can still infect them and then they could get it badly but
really I've had I've had COVID light so you think that Kath feels as though
there's no natural justice to how to how likely it's it's getting you look I'm
going to be straight with you I've been watching football and very old films
and ramping with a cane on the on the floor when you want food no not the
Happily, the mobile phone has superseded all that.
They're feeding you like a very dangerous animal.
He is like an animal.
Well, the problem is my mother-in-law is staying with us at the mini,
and she's 83.
And then it becomes a bit more jeopardy.
So, yeah, so I'm living upstairs.
and Kath occasionally says to me,
you quite liking it being up there.
And I'll be honest with you, I'm saying no.
I'll confess to that when I'm well enough to go back to math.
I can see it would suit you though
because of the sort of ecclesiastical solitude aspect.
My father once referred to himself as a sensuous monk.
I was about six and it was a strange thing to say to a child.
Well, exactly. At least my dad admitted it, Frank.
Yeah.
But I'm wondering if that sort of solitude slightly appeals to you.
Well, you know, I love my family.
You miss Catherine bars, obviously.
Yes, but they're only at the bottom of the stairs.
You know, I talk to them as if I'm on the scaffold.
And we're saying our last farewells.
That's what it's like.
But it is weird.
I mean, I just sort of, you know, I kind of,
forgot. It feels incredibly retro to have COVID. I'm sure we'll have, and I'm not making
light, I know some people get it really bad, but when you get like the easy COVID, you do think,
yes, all right. Do you have one of the other famous COVID symptoms from from back in the day,
incredibly realistic dreams? I've had some, yeah, some very strange. I'm glad you said that. I didn't
even know that was a yeah i've had some i mean obviously i won't tell you my dreams because that's
the most tedious thing in the world but it they've been about quite minor domestic things but
graphic yes i mean so real they've been sort of incensure around yes or d that's what i've been
having i didn't know that was a covid symptom is it really what you dream with more clarity the
It seems like...
Yeah.
Really realistic.
Yeah.
I'm glad you said that.
I feel better about it now.
I thought I was going insane but I wasn't going to bring it up on air.
Guys, I'm really sorry.
I just banged on the table by mistake and I hate that because I was listening to LBC the other day.
Nick Ferrari was making a point and getting very angry and there was this bang, bang, bang,
every time he was going on about asylum seekers.
It went on by like 20 minutes, the bangs.
He's going full Mussolini.
I thought, why hasn't the producer said to him, Nick, you know, you're thumping the table so hard.
And he's not, he's got a big fist, I would imagine.
So you're making quite a racket.
Do you think they're frightened of him?
It's all gone a bit George Herbert.
I struck the board and cried no more.
I will abroad.
Anyway, so that's where I am.
I feel fine, just a bit fatigued.
but I've got the golden ticket for COVID.
So I've watched, I think, four live football games.
Lovely.
And like I said, I watched, what about this?
I watched the first ever British sci-fi film.
Oh?
Which is a film.
I love it.
It's called a message from Mars.
Of course it was.
I think Mars was the basic catch-all home for aliens in those days.
How long did it take them to think of that title?
Oh man, you'd have loved it though.
It was 1913 it was made.
Wow.
Was that talkies then?
This is a film.
I would never have been able to say to Kath and Boss,
hey, shall we watch a message from Mars,
the 1913 silent black and white film.
Can we not restrict that to Kath and Barth?
Buzz prank. I don't think you'd have been able to say that to another living individual.
No, but we have problems in our house. Now that Buzz stays up as long as we do,
it's a big debate about who's what we're going to watch and stuff. And like, we, we gave
Kath on her, on her birthday, we gave her choice. That's the rule in our house. You make the
others watch. Do you remember I made a much forbidden planet and hadn't realized it was shit.
and really sort of pervy and sexist.
It's just unpleasant.
You should have called me, I would have told you.
I know, but I remember really liking it, but that was that.
Anyway, so, and then Katz saying, you know, every night,
Kat says, why don't we watch Spinal Tap,
even though Bos refusing to watch it
because he feels it will be respectful to rock music,
a disrespectful to rock music.
He's not wrong.
Really? Well, yeah.
Yeah.
No, he's, yeah, he says,
But I just don't want to listen to anyone making fun of rock music, so we can't watch that.
So you're stuck with a message from Mars?
Message from, but that's because I was on my own.
My first thought when I got COVID was live football message from Mars.
Do the aliens talk in message from Mars, Frank?
Oh God, the aliens are dressed like crusaders.
And they sit around a big crystal ball and watch.
the goings on on earth.
Who knew?
I'm going to tell you what.
Don't trust the Kaiser.
No, the message is that it's an absolute total rip-off
of a Christmas carol.
But instead of the ghosts of past and future,
there's just a Martian who comes and says to this guy,
this guy Horace, who's this old rich guy, who treats,
we see examples of what a bad guy.
is and he's he goes to a he goes to a punch and judy show this old millionaire on his own and
what a tragic life brilliant there was a live dog in it this is fantastic and punch was hitting
the dog with a stick oh god and we didn't know thank we didn't we didn't know look the great war
was just around the corner there was worse to come and to be fair the aliens really didn't know no
didn't understand. But what they did understand is when the bloke came around with the bag
for money, then Horace wouldn't give any. And so the aliens said, you've got to go and,
you know, change this man. So that was the entire basis as far as I could see of his
sinfulness. Doesn't pay for his punch and duty shows. Oh, a tramp, a tramp went to the
house. And I used the word tramp, not a word I'd use nowadays, but in the credit,
He's just Tramp.
He went to the house and was...
Oh, that's charming.
He was shooed.
He was a bit, send him back.
He didn't get...
I like whoever played the tramp going to...
Well, I played the tramp famously in a message from Mars.
You may have seen my work.
The credits themselves were marvellous.
What about this?
I wrote this one down.
God of Mars, R. Crompton.
even get his name not even bothered with his first name why didn't his agent negotiate for his name to be
used it's very funny to imagine oh dear anyway this bloc's got apart now sorry sorry pierre funny to
imagine the idea that old film credits were so formal that it'd be james bond played by mr brosnan
well they they still do that with assistants don't they they say mr reeves is
assistant to Mr Reeves if it's Kearney Reeves and then they have the name oh okay well anyway
back to Frank with the message from Mars what was the message from Mars Frank the message was
be nice oh be kind all right Instagrammer so um I just got to tell you this bit Horace has got a
girlfriend she turns up she wants to go to a dance and he basically tells her to piss off
he's just going to sit by the fire all night hang on Frank is Horace the Tramp
Or the alien?
No, Horace, it's the millionaire.
Oh, the millionaire.
There's no name for the tramp.
That's just the tramp.
Anyway, so she's sent off to, she gives him her engagement ring back really upset.
And when he's become a nice man again, they get back together and the blocs from Mars are watching and saying,
oh, it's all turned out happily ever after.
And I thought, well, it's turned that happily ever after, except the girlfriend's about 20 and Horace.
and Horace is about 75.
Oh God.
The Martians, they're snogging away.
The Martians are going, this is lovely.
And I'm thinking, what kind of morality do they have on Mars?
He got so lucky it was Mars who were judging it,
but not somewhere where that kind of age gap would be frowned upon.
Do you know, I find Martians, they're very liberated.
I don't know how they met.
They're very free thinking and relaxed about.
They're quite progressive these Martians for Hankians.
these martians for hang who the martians even though they're dressed as crusaders oh man it was it was
quite shocking he was like he wasn't like a young old blokes you know what i mean he was a proper
old bloke and she was all young and lovely so the message from mars was be kind and we're
absolutely fine with age inappropriate relationships yeah exactly just worth knowing there'll be
folks now looking up the feasibility of living on Mars having heard this this is a judgment free place here
this is Elon Musk's whole plan it's to colonize Mars and bring a load of 20 year olds with him
he's seen that film yeah yeah oh can i tell you by the way it was directed i also wrote this down
by j wallet waller what about being called wallet
I think that should have been the name of the old guy that got the 20-year-old.
Just to absolutely lay on the line.
But I'd recommend it anyway to anyone.

That wasn't the only bit of TV gold this week
because we heard from Mark of Wigston, Frank,
who said a lot of people were talking about this.
Frank was the answer to a question on mastermind just now.
Did you know this?
I was sitting on the stairs just me.
and Kermit's nephew.
The monster.
Don't get the monster out.
He needs feeding.
Halfway up the stairs.
Talking to my son, and his phone went, and I said, what is it?
And he says, oh, it says, your dad's a question on mastermind.
It felt a bit like, you know, that, you know, your mom, she, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It felt like that, like it was some sort of insult.
But did you see it?
Because, of course, I'm not, I mean, I will, I would have.
pretended that I didn't then go straight to catch up and have a look at mastermind.
But obviously, I needed to know.
So it said, have you seen the actual question?
Oh, I went right there because a British comedian.
Sorry, Frank.
Go on.
Mark says the contender answered correctly.
Yes, but still lost.
What if I'd, because I was really rooting for him after that,
because I thought I'm sort of on his train now.
on his trying to glory but um no he lost by one point so that wasn't my fault um yeah but
it said my birth name so it said which and british comedian born christopher collins in
nineteen fifty seven i thought thanks clive getting your own back for the uh autobiography reveal
oh yeah i exposed that i was in case you knew to the show um though i don't know if the
indoor is as busy as the out but anyway um i uh i went into oxfam the week and a woman was
arriving with 23 brand new copies of clive mire's um autobiography in fact on the show now on mastermind
He sits on an enormous armchair just made of his autobiography.
Do you know what I've noticed about mastermind, Frank?
Because I haven't seen it for a while.
They do a weird thing now.
They do a sort of epilogue, a kind of mini biopic of the winner at the end,
where the winner looks back fondly on all their greatest hits
during the half-hour episode we've just watched.
And they had the winner discussing his motivation behind it.
They kept showing clips.
He said, at one point, the winner said,
I mean, that question about Pope John the 22nd,
I knew the answer.
And for some reason, I said, innocent, the 22nd.
I thought literally only one person is finding it amusing and that's right.
You see, once they announced the winner, I just click off.
So I've never got that one.
It's like a Netflix biopic of the winner at the end.
It's very strange.
It's like having a sort of massive retirement party for a substitute teacher,
has been there one day yeah all your memories like on weakest link when they used to say yeah
i thought they were a bit unfair to me actually used to get all this gripe about it who cares you get out
okay well i'll hear something about it though is that uh it said and whose recent um
tour show was called 30 years of dirt and i thought when i came up with that show the idea
that it would be on mastermind is pretty unlikely so anyway that's that's what i'll be up to
the original version of the question was and whose podcast was recently very rude about one of the
best autobiographies ever written do you think myri has genuinely got beef imagine if he did i would
love that i'd love that yeah we've also isn't he giving it away to students as well yes
I mean, he's a refresher gets a copy.
His autobiography, can I make it clear?
I'm not suggesting he's a Horace, Horace the millionaire character.
You have a big thumbs up from Mars for crying.
We need more of these people on Earth.
Oh, wow.
I'd also just like to share this with you to see your thoughts.
Steph from Worcester, dear Frank, I wanted to bring to your attention that I bought some donuts.
from a well-known supermarket last week.
This in itself is not an interesting story.
Sorry, can I just...
Are you about the Marsmen again?
Can I tell you one more thing about it?
Oh, God, you're obsessed!
The idea in Scrooge is that he learns his lessons, yeah?
And then he becomes a better person.
But in this film, the Martian has a sort of Martian stroke ray
that Messies, makes his fyscal twist.
when he does something bad, it makes it like stagger.
So there's really like, well, fucking kill you if you don't behave yourself.
Which is not a lesson.
That's not a lesson.
There's a bit of blood gets hit by a car,
which seems to deliberately mount the pavement.
And he says you've got to help him, Aris, and Aris, because,
you know, they did that lot of talking when you can't hear anything.
They only sort of, you only get the odd sentence.
It's a bit like modern films.
You get like, understand one sentence in about 20.
He texts two, you know those big 10-pound notes at the size of bed sheets?
He texts two of them out and just throws him at this injured bloke on the floor.
Do you know what, Frank?
Miles is no place for a wuss.
Oh, look, I'm so sorry to interrupt your thing, but...
No, it's Steph from Worcester we should apologise to.
Bear in mind, sorry, Steph.
I haven't spoke to anyone hardly for...
like six days. I know. The beast is hungry for company. Oh, I'm a stir crazy. Sorry,
I'm sorry, Steph. She says she says she bought some donuts from a supermarket last week.
This in itself is not an interesting story. What I felt was of note was that it said on the
packet five jam donuts and then underneath sugared in store. I wasn't that bothered where
they were sugared. But now I'm down a rabbit hole of does this mean they're
baked elsewhere, but the sugar is applied fresh.
Why is this required as information?
I would welcome your thoughts.
I've never seen that sign sugared in store.
It's to make it, it's just, I think it's just to make it sound,
to make it sound like the produce all baked in store by our bakers.
Do you think that's what it is?
I wonder if it, I think it might be a sort of class divide.
I think that the doughnut was made in some arties
remain a voting bakery and then it arrives in the local supermarket and they go
there how much sugar on these is there go and get some sugar Dave and they've just
added another eight layers of sugar so that their people will like them how do you
think they get it to stick because the donuts aren't fresh where like the hotness
and the freshness would be why you roll it in sugar and it sticks they're arriving
cold and dry never ask me that again i love sugar i love frank's idea about the sugar in store
sugar in store by the working class i think the work for the working class um the um the i imagine
the work experience kid is just licking all the uh donuts how the sugar sticks
you can get it nowadays I'm afraid no it's this strange I don't know what the real
answer would be I Pia it looks like he's worked it out logically yeah no I think maybe
like a little spray they've got a little like a little plant but why why do they sugar in
store that's what we don't know does it fall off in a supermarket or if there is a
sugar out there please sugar in store sounds like you know trouble in store or something
like that yeah somebody just coming off a diet sugar in store and off they go there'll be some
sugar in store for you if you keep asking questions yeah we look well I think we should further
investigate that but good one Steph we um we asked the public as well for their baffling
meaningless t-shirt slogans oh yeah and um I think I said picks or it didn't happen
Yes. I'm not sure if it's show blocked content. Yes, the email client is trying to save us from filth.
Okay.
But I don't think Lovely Ben has sent us filth. He sent us a long list of lovely T-shirts, Logans.
Yeah, because he said his wife, he and his wife collect them, don't they, Ben White?
Yes. Yes. So he says, Frankantine, my wife and I have been collecting mad t-shirts on our travels for years.
Hopefully the list below will be useful. We started taking picks.
attached below when we realized we should be documenting the situation.
So this is a list of some of the ones they've encountered over the years.
Sweet London, brackets, everything is amazing, close brackets.
That's a good one.
Mike Davis.
Not a million miles from sugared in store.
I might get that on a t-shirt.
It sounds like a minced oath.
Sweet London.
It's a swear word for when there's no trains.
Mike Davis
Horseball Team
1976
Ah yes
I remember it well
That was quite a night
It's interesting
I think that the modern home
of avant-garde poetry
Is the T-shirt
Yeah
I think that's right
I also liked on that list
Pierre you continue
But I enjoyed bonjour coffee
Yes
Oh wow
Stuff about coffee
I saw a picture of a I don't know what how they would have it was a a woman artist photographer from I think the 20s and she had a t-shirt on that said and she looked very sort of like some from the film cabaret or something like that she looked very avant-gare and her t-shirt said it's a message from Mars.
It said, well, she's probably been dead 40 years.
No demographic.
Does that mean you call fancy them when they're dead, apparently?
So anyway, it said, don't kiss me, I'm in training.
And it was really odd because it was like an old black and white arty photo.
So, I don't know.
It's been going for a long time.
You're right, it's the sort of thing you'd expect to see on pyjamas in Primark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there's some more eccentric ones that I expect on pajamas in primark,
I expect to see the embroidered message help me.
How do you sleep at night?
Exactly.
Well, it'd be good on pajamas.
Continue, yeah.
I sleep at night in the pyjamas you were forced to make.
To make.
Tonight.
I'm sure Primark don't do that.
No, no, no, no.
Other t-shirts available, one that says real creep.
That could be good for Horace if you ever dresses down.
Oh, yeah.
Real creep.
There was also, what about a picnic dog, comma, summer days?
What is a picnic dog?
Our dog, one of the perils of Hampstead Heath, and there are several, is people, if you've got a dog, a dog off the lead when everyone's in picnic mode, it's obviously the dog can just smell food from all directions, and you just walk around apologising a lot.
And then you get some idiot who will give him like a sausage roll without asking you, and then the dog dies.
good night well maybe they should be wearing one of these t-shirts that says
bastard screech bitch that's another option wow yeah well some of these i'd wear though i think
i don't know if i'd wear that but um i'm not sure you can say the b word anymore can you
bastard no bitch bitch oh i think you can you can't i don't i only ask that because i was i was on
Gabby Logan's Radio 5 show and I used that.
Even though I was quoting someone,
she did one of those big stop the show
and do a big apology.
Oh, really?
But, you know.
I think you can do it in a sort of drag race parlance.
Do you know what I mean?
Like if you're saying, bitch, please, you can do that.
Right.
But I don't think you can call someone that.
But if you're, if you're mentioning it, if you're not even sure
you can say it about your dog.
Oh, really?
Can you call a female dog a bitch?
Surely it's accurate, you know?
I don't know.
I think it might have gone.
We'll find.
Someone will let us know.
Yeah, what are the rules?
I've got 99 problems without worrying about that one.
What have you guys actually been up to, by the way?
I achieved two things the other day that I have never achieved in my life.
and I'm very very smug about both of them
and they're linked
and Emily are on the edges of our seats
just keep it
just keep it clean
that's all I'm saying
no there's no
there's no praise coming from Mars
on this on this account
okay
but the Martians would shrug
I did the first thing I've done
I did that I've never done in my life
is I actually used
the tiny screwdriver that you get in a Christmas Cracker.
Wow.
I've had one.
I've started wearing spectacles.
No, no, well, that's...
Because they come in quite handy.
Okay.
Well, that's it.
So I was trying to...
My kitchen scale has...
Normally when you get the battery out to replace it,
it's just a kind of flappy lid thing.
But in their infinite wisdom,
these guys decided to put a single spectacle-sized screw
blocking that from happening.
and so I couldn't weigh anything on my kitchen scale
till I found deep in a shed
what I swore was there
you know that thing that I think it's quite a
untidy man brain thing
where you sort of think I know I own this object
I just have no clue where it is
well you're so ordered in your life
I'm guessing there's a jar marked
cracker paraphernalia
which has things like key rings
and those fishes that go all wobbly
You put them on the palm of your hand.
Underneath, Frank, it will say Christmas is 2007 through 2011.
Exactly.
The paraphernalia brackets festive.
But what if one of them was just the jokes?
And then we found out that Pierre had based his entire career.
That would be a great ending, wouldn't it?
That would be like I wanted to watch some coronets.
That's why he buys those autism-themed crackers every year.
He's just writing his act for him.
Maybe that would be a good product where the inside of the cracker
where you try to hold on to the little gunpowder strip
isn't so rough and horrible to touch.
Smoothed interior crackers would be a good autism-friendly invention, I think.
No, I'm organized in...
Yeah, autism-friendly crackers.
I love that band.
Yeah.
It's not a label that you could apply to any of the current US.
government, none of those crackers are autism friendly.
Are they not? I don't know.
No, well, they're trying to, they're blaming paracetamol.
Well, you've heard the paracetamol thing.
Of course.
Yes, yeah.
So now I can't take any more paracetamol in case it makes me even more fond of video games.
Can I say, though, of all the things I've watched on telly in my five-day exile in the attic,
Donald Trump's speech to the United Nations, I was actually.
laughing so much I thought I was going to have a relapse.
And I know he said some terrible things, some wrong things,
but honestly, for sheer consistency of a just wow factor,
it was unbelievable.
He always delivers.
They should make that a Netflix special.
It was just...
You know he's going off script.
It's such a great moment, isn't it?
that he'd offered to do the refurb on the United Nations building,
and they'd given it to someone else, one of the other people who bid for it.
He said, you know, this floor, you would have got a marble floor if I'd have got it.
You know what you're walking on?
I thought, this is a speech to the United States.
But you know what, I love that. It's like a comment.
You use your environment, you know, you talk about the theatre and stuff like that.
I react to him the way that people say they used to react to Charlie Chaplin,
He's such a sort of natural clown.
It's just so everything he does is funny, even when it's deeply sinister at the same time.
I know the Martians love Charlie Chapman.
Oh, yeah.
Children at 78 or whatever.
Yeah.
Go on, my son.
Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say that.
But anyway, so you found a little screwdriver?
I hunted down my Christmas Cracker screwdriver.
I fixed the scale, and I used it to do the second thing I've never done in my life,
is actually try to eat the packet-recommended amount of pasta.
Oh.
I didn't know they did recommend.
What did they say on the packet?
They say per person, it's something like dried 70, 75 grams, which is like two and a half ounces.
It's like nothing.
Okay.
It was a big achievement for me.
It was a depressing achievement because I realized that I had been having three people's pastors
for my entire life up to this point.
I could not believe how depressingly crap the tiny,
amount of pasta you're supposed to have is?
I mean, if the kitchen scales in your house are having a hard time,
I should have to think what the bathroom scales are having to put up.
Well, is it generally, guys?
You're going to need like a giant size screwdriver.
It's those things they measure a horse on, a horse fest.
Just a trucker's thing.
I find a fistful, a very useful measurement.
I like cop.
You know, they say half a cop of rice.
and stuff like that.
The Americans have an official cup, though.
Yes, they do.
Yeah, but I've never used the kitchen scales in my life.
I think that I don't want to be doing maths when I'm hungry.
Yeah, but he likes things like that, Frank.
Yes, it's precision.
He enjoys that.
But, Em, I can't do fistfuls of pasta because I've got big old fists.
I think that's still too much pasta technically.
Your fistful of pasta is like jolly green giant.
Same problem.
Can I just say, a fistful of pasta would be the perfect name for a spaghetti western.
That's my lunch you're talking about.
No, you can't do that, Pierre, because that's a King Kong sort of meal, isn't it, really?
Yeah, skyscrapers and airplanes.
So are you starving yourself for the wedding?
Are you doing that thing?
Well, the trouble is that I spent the last six months seeing what would happen if I had three sandwiches a day,
addition to meals and it turns out what happens is you put on weight. So I'm trying to
undo that. I'm trying to undo all my hard work eating sandwiches. Where do they go those three
sandwiches? Is it one each in the gap? Yes, I think, yeah, sort of alternating. It's like
stepping stones to bed. Yes, exactly. Have you ever eaten a sandwich before, say,
10.30 a.m.? Yes. Yes. Yes, I have. Yes.
I've had lunch three times once.
I've done that, yeah.
I meant to have lunch twice.
I accidentally had it three times.
I forgot the second one.
That can happen.
That happened to Frank in lockdown.
Cathars rushed off her feet.
One thing that I haven't had is that, you know,
you think when you're ill,
when you get a bit older and you get ill,
you think, well, the one consolation is my appetite will go.
My appetite's been just through the ceiling.
And I've had a whole box of after eight mints in like in a couple of days.
That's why you feel sick.
But I'm just eating everything.
So, you know, I love, usually when you're ill, you think, well, at least I'm losing a bit of weight, but not Frank.
So eat yourself fitter, as the four once said.
We should go.
But it's been, I don't think I'll be fully recovered for the next podcast.
So I think we'll have to be on our Zoom.
things again sorry guys but I'm hoping this works for our lovely people at home I
should say that Frank on the radio no not Frank on the radio what's it called
radio days yeah I've got a note what I'm supposed to say at the end of this
podcast but because I'm using my phone to zoom I can't read it so I'm just
going to speculate does it go out on a Saturday morning
still or is it a Wednesday? It's a Wednesday. So on Wednesday, then radio days will be available
for you to listen to. We're in 2010, I think, and this is the episode, get this, this, this show's
how times have changed. We get a Sony nomination. Oh, yeah, the Sony's don't exist anymore,
and neither do our nominations. Actually, that's not quite true. There's the Golden Lobes.
Oh, the 20 cents.
And a Martian says to me, nice ass, love.
Anyway, tune in and turn on.
It's Frank off the radio.
