My mother sung to me. She sang it as she tucked me in when I was 93. A bit more about the accent. This is Frank Off the Radio. I'm joined by Emily Dean. And Chloe Petz is with us today. Hooray. Follow the podcast on X and Instagram.

That was Matt Driver. It's so glee meets frozen. Thank you, Driver. There you go. The old age pensioner's exit line when they get off bosses. Did they still say that? Oh, yes. Thank you, Driver.

And of course, what do they get? back nothing. Okay. I've been very let down so far in 2026. This is normally January. Yeah. It's normally the time for the part work adverts. Do you know partworks?

No. When you buy a magazine a week and it builds into one sort of encyclopedia or you build, there was a Dalek one last year where you got a little bit of... You miss that close. I'm sorry I did. And you build it into a, well, not a full size, but like a big ish, a Dalek child. So there weren't many of those this year?

I've only seen one advert on telly for a part work. That was Winnie the Pooh embroidery. And are you interested in that? No. Right. And when you say embroidery, what does it make in the little red cropped t-shirt? Or is it a whole Winnie the Pooh? You know he has a crop top?

I would love to see Frank coming in a crock shop that he's crocheted himself. So would I. But winning the people are only worse that. Yeah. No, you heard what I said. Yeah, I know. But I'm coming on public transport, that's the problem. Listen.

How many stations on the Northern line would I get before there were police waited? Oh, I don't think you'd even get on the train, if I'm honest. Oh, I don't know. Mr. Skinner. We'll see. The thing is, there'd be so much social media interest in Frank Skinner, spotted in wearing an out but when he the booty shirts. I reckon.

Before the age of the mobile phone, I'd have got away with it. I could have got as far as here. You reckon, as far as here? When I walked in here, people are so cool, they wouldn't even comment on it. Yeah, there'd be several other people also winning the poo. They'd be anxious at thinking, oh God, if that's a new thing, I'd better go in the toilet. I feel needy to see, was more tolerated, though. When I was growing up in the, I don't really know what to call it, it wasn't a gated community.

There's a small village. How dare you? A small village that we live. in North London. Yeah. It was called Holly Village. So it was houses that were sort of... And there was a man.

People were often coming in because it was... Where is it now, Holly Phillips? It is still there. Oh, is it like... It's not like Brick O'Doon. No, Holly Village is still there. Every hundred years. Still there. And a man would...

This man came in and my parents found him in the cellar outside and he was naked. And he said, I'm Adam and I'm looking for my Eve. and then we called the police. If I was naked, I wouldn't be heading for somewhere called Holly Village. That's asking for wounding, isn't it? He's got it all wrong. He shouldn't have got to Holy.

He said, I'm Adam and I'm looking for him. And he said it. Yeah, I'd be heading for Albeginne Villas. But I remember as a child being struck by how rational he sounded when he said it. He wasn't. screaming abuse or anything. He just said, I'm Adam and I'm looking for my Eve. And my dad said, I think we better call the police. The most British story I've ever heard at my life. I also loved the way that you told it like

it was the most normal thing. And also your cellar was out. It wasn't on to your house. There was access to the cellar from outside. You know, there were stairs descending to the cellar. And he was crouching. He thought he was going to find his Eve in the cellar. He was crouching outside, whether he'd being inside or not, I don't know. But anyway, and then the police arrived with a lovely tartan blanket, I remember. Oh, how sweet. Back in those days. It was Brigadour.

Where is he now? If you're listening, Adam, drop us a line. Oh, no. Yeah, I wonder what happened to him. Was he an older man? No, he was quite young. Okay. I mean, he would have been mid-30s or something.

I mean, he might have got over it, you know. people. He might have found his Eve, you never know. Maybe he did find his Eve. What if I was his Eve? I don't think we should speculate on that. No, I was the only younger side anyway, so maybe not to age appropriate. I was about seven. No, we need another Eve. That's no good. Okay, okay, fine. So, yeah, so I'm disappointed by the part works. You've never, are you looking at me like you're not a part? You've never done a part work? I think I did a part work where I, when I was a child and it was for watercolours and I wanted to get into watercolours and then realised I had

no aptitude for art whatsoever. I'm a bad drawer and artist. I don't have a good aesthetic eye. Yeah. Like words I can do. Can I say Frank is a very gifted artist. I don't surprise me. Oh, you are. I went to the Hampstead College of our

evening classes and she said at the first lesson, what have you, pick the one you like best that you've drawn tonight and get it framed. even if it's not very good, just as a reminder of where you start. And it's on my wall now, and Kath Honge, under a limited edition print by Tracy Eming. Yeah, it probably holds up, I bet. Yeah.

When my baby was born, Tracy Eming sent me this print with a note, and it's called Pregnant the print, and she wrote under it, Not anymore, question mark. I thought that's a great way to celebrate the birth of a baby. It's the end of a pregnancy rather the beginning of a new thing. What a tremendous woman she is. So I think we should, the last time I felt we only did one outsidey worldy person.

Yes. Let's return to them. So we have David from Bolton. We were discussing Bolton on the previous. I went there on the 12th of July 2024. Yeah. He might have been at that key. Yeah, maybe.

Great. I love the way you keep your alibi straight. I actually also think on reflection, I might have cancelled that work in progress in Bolton because I do not remember going to Bolton and I feel like it's something I would remember because I always remember when I go to Hull and I feel like Bolton it kind of exists in that same space for me.

Yeah, but I think we established on the last podcast that you're a massive co-kid, so maybe you just forgot it, Barry. Seki's in the Donny after all. Sickies in the journey, I know. I know. What's the word on the street? David from Bolton says in a recent episode, Frank described how he cannot watch. I don't know if you know this about him, Clove.

But when during a TV show or a movie, a person, usually a police officer or a private detective is disturbed when, say, photographing private documents. Do you want to? You've gone into someone's office. You're going through their drive. looking for an incriminating document and they come back while you're still there and that moment that you see them entering the building and my stomach honestly

he can't watch it physical pain in my stomach from the anxiety of it do you have some trauma in your past I'm sure you've covered this a lot on the other I don't think I've ever broke into an office in order to photograph documents but is there something equivalent because it's like what is that kind of encapsulated for you?

It's a triggering thing. Why is it triggered? I wonder, yes. You will have been caught doing something in your bedroom or something. Meaning? I said nothing. Okay. Tugging on your time from Finland.

Oh my God. Edit that out. Edit that out. I didn't like that. We don't edit this. I'm sorry. I kind of loved it. No, I've listened and I know you don't edit it.

No. As they say, probably 50. in times on every reality TV show. It is what it is. Sorry, I am sorry that I said that, though. Why? Well, I don't know. I would place you in the National Treasure bracket.

I don't think it's appropriate to talk about National Treasures like that. Do you think, do you get a bit de-sexualised when you're a National Treasure, do you think? I just don't, you know, do you? Do you reckon? As soon as you're an MBA. I know what you mean? I think you do, yeah. You're sort of two-dimensional.

Yeah. Wow. Not to me, though, Frank. No. Oh, okay. In which case, I'll say it loud, I'll say it proud. He was talking about his top in Finland. There you go.

I'm back in 3D. I feel like I've been inflated. I certainly was that night. So I preferred him when he was de-sectionized. I enjoyed that brief flirtation with de-sexualization. I felt very, it never felt so clean. He is clean. I know I always quote this, Frank.

Closer is, but you know, Kathmand said that to me. When I was asking her about Frank, she said, do you know what I always loved about him? He was absolutely immaculate. Yeah. Do you know what? And I love that. I love that.

I supported Frank on tour and every time he'd come into the car, I think, what a lovely smelling man. He's very clean, isn't he? Fresh like a daisy. That's what I think. He is, you know, he is clean. Oh, man. Anyway.

Sorry, David from Bolton. Sorry, David from Bolton. It's because I like soap. What I worry about Is David from Bolton sitting around To listen to this with his family He's having to hear about Tom of Finland He's having to hear about your de-sexualisation

And tugging on your Tom of Finland If he knows this show well enough to write to it I don't think you'll be surprised by any of this The thing is I know that Frank wants to go on a tangent About how much he loves soap as well Yeah Of course I do You know him so well

Yeah He's ready to go I don't know Little soap thing. Always at my back I hear, David from Bolton, hurrying near. Yeah. Right.

Come on, let's do David of Bolton. Okay. Oh, it's David of Bolton now? Yeah, like Tom of Finland. Yeah. Do you think David of Bolton would be as popular in the gay art community? David, I do apologise.

If your loved ones are with you, I please don't take this personally. Who famous people from Bolton who can you? Peter Kay. Tony. Oh, well done. Tony Knowles. Who's that?

Snoker player. Oh, okay. Ahia Khan? Diane Morgan, I believe. Was it Arheia Khan, the boxer? Yes, Amir Khan. Amir Khan. Amir Khan.

Diane Morgan? She from Bolton as well? I believe, yes. Okay, David of Bolton. Continues. So you get the idea, Chloe, the sort of stuff that Frank has discussed hating before.

A kind of Watergate, a film about Watergate would be his absolute nightmare, beyond watchable. My wife, David of continues, my wife of 30 years has exactly the same phobia. She will cover her face and sing to herself to avoid watching. The other major phobia she has is the spontaneous live TV marriage proposal. Oh, yeah.

She has to leave the room as soon as the groom to be. Oh, a sport in a fence. As soon as the groom to be says to the bride to be, I've not just brought you here to look at the lovely view, etc. And starts fumbling in his pocket and bending his knee. Does Frank also have this phobias? Can I say on my last tour, I got a letter from someone saying, you're coming to blah, blah, blah, I want to propose to my boyfriend.

We'll be in the front row that night. Love care. Can we get on stage and can we do the proposal? And I said, no. Frank, that's so mean-spirited of you. I said to the two-manager, I don't want anything that. Did you really say that? Fucking basic happening in my show.

Simple as that. Yeah, he made me do it during my opening set. Yeah. My 20 minutes was absolutely eating into by that proposal. Did you really say no? Yeah. Frank, that's so mean. I don't get me wrong.

It's lovely. I wish them well. Oh, clearly. I think I would say no as well. Would you? Yeah, I don't think it's, I don't think that's what people are there for. Like I don't think, oh, this is lovely.

Also, it's that thing is if the bloke, I think the bloke in that instant. You're putting pressure on the woman. Could be pressured to say. Now, this was a woman proposing to a bloke. Oh, the bloke could be pressured. The bloke could think, oh, God, I don't actually want to marry it,

but if I say no, she'll be humiliated and all that. Yeah, you don't know the context. Maybe she's trying to entrap this man, I mean. I suppose I know. Maybe it's just some bloke she works with. Yeah. Oh, that'd be. I don't want to be party to some sort of...

Yeah, I don't think it's right. I also... Sorry, my stomach is making horrible, rumbling noises. I can't hear it. Emily will be able to hear it, but I can't. But, yeah, I don't know. I just think it's... That's none of my business.

And I think it's just like birthdays, all of this kind of stuff. I just think it's forced fun. I don't think it's... Yeah. I know a bit what you mean about that. No, not at a stand-up show, I don't think. I think you're going into sort of pantom

Time territory, aren't you? Any birthdays in tonight? I'm not a big fan of fun. No, he doesn't like fun. I was reading a review recently and this bloke said he was on about they had this fun poetry nights where they did fond poetry. And he said, the thought of it

makes me feel physically sick. He said, but you can't, in the modern world, you can't be seen to be condemning fun even though it means the end of civilisation. But anyway, I said no, and I think I wished them well. Okay. The thing is they were in, I think I could see who they were in the front row, and she was looking at me, and I can't believe you said no kind of way.

Oh, really? Yeah, but... Maybe you're reading into that. Maybe. Because how do you communicate? I can't believe you said no on your face. You're right, and I don't think I've ever seen a woman thinking, I can't believe you said no.

Because I didn't say no for about 25 years. I want to hear what Lex said. Who's Lex? Well, you'll soon find out. You know Lex, do you? Evil supervill. Lex Luther. Oh, is he Lex Luther?

Yeah. I would love to hear what Lexer. Obviously Lex Luther was my favourite, Chloe. I don't need to tell you. I was telling Chloe off air that I was a Baroness Apologist. in the sound of music and she was a bit shot. I could not believe that you were a baroness apologist because how could you be rooting for the baroness in the sound of music?

That's like me rooting for the Nazi. Well, in the same way that I was rude. No, it's not as bad. She's not as bad as the Nazis to be bad. It's not a role. What I will say for the baroness is when Captain von Trapp said that he didn't want to marry her anymore, she took it so graciously.

She's so elegant. She's so elegant. She knows that she's not meant to be with him. She knows that Maria's meant of it. I will say that for her, but you cannot be thinking that the captain should be marrying the Baroness. I think she dodged a bullet. I think that I did.

I all did at the end. Hank. Also, in the world... That was thanks to the Abyss. In the world of subliminal messaging, would you marry a man called von Trapp? It's only going to go one way, isn't it, that marriage? What happens?

Does Ralph portray them, or does he let them go? in the end. He does the decent thing. He hasn't. He's, I'm 16 going on 17. Well, he's 17. Stuck in the med. Oh, that's a cabaret, isn't it?

Yeah. Same thing, though. Yeah, it's not your boyish nasty. Same problematic area. But he pauses, which I think lets them get away. And then he goes... Oh, Ambassador, you're spoiling us. Whistle, whistle.

They're in here, they're in here. Oh, so he does let them go. No, but what he performative... No, no, no. He betrays them. He betrays them, but you're right, there's a moment's doubt, isn't there? Which is why we're not meant to 100% hate him,

although I still did. Yeah, I mean, I think he's probably, after the film, he's gone off and done some horrid war crimes. Yeah. Oh, that's really ruined it, I mean, how that film. But I think so. So did the Von Traps from a Shelby's point of view.

Christopher Plummer. Hello, felt shirk. Get out. Anyway, yes, carry on. Lex. Lex has got in touch with us. Hi, guys. I just wondered if Frank had considered

that he and David pioneered the modern podcast way back in the 90s with Badele and Skinner unplanned. Two bloke's off the telly, sitting around chatting with no script or editing, that is basically 90% of podcasts. And Frank was doing it decades before everyone else.

He ought to get it. commission from all the other podcasters. Your views on this, please, Frank Skinner. Well, I should get commission for that. I should get commission for the phrase, the rest of. Do you know about this? No. No, I did a radio four show called The Rest is History. Yes. I mean, he did. But this is actually years ago he did this. No way. But also, we did a podcast. I mean, when there were no podcasts, we did a World Cop podcast. Yeah. But would I want to take credit for podcasts?

No. Yeah, I also think that podcast is just a repacketed network and the radio, right? And you didn't invent the radio. Did you? No. I didn't invent the radio. That wasn't you? No. No.

No, I'd like to have invented the radio. That'd be someone like Marconi, would it? Yes, I think, is that right? I think that sounds right. Don't blimp and ask me. If you could have invented one thing. If I could have invented one thing, what would you have invented? Skyploss.

Aim high, why don't you? It's changed my life. Did you tell you Skype Plus? Yes. Who uses Skype Plus? Well, how do you record your program? I don't need to. I stream everything.

I don't need to record anything now. Do you? I don't know if you can stream talking pictures. Frank Walsh is a funny old channel I know about talking pictures Oh you do Yeah yeah yeah I'm a big curmoda mayo fan

As mentioned off Sorry for plug another podcast Do you want to hear about this Which is about Kath being right about something Yes Okay This is from Tuppence Who's one of our regulars

Longtime reader first time WhatsApp message Yeah still Pre-deceable Tom's I suppose it could be too new as they're called. Frank, I'm afraid Kath is right about

ice cream vans and crime. I don't know if you remember this. This podcast is mental. Yeah, I think Kath is actually right about ice cream vans and crime. What are you talking about? Listen, still with it.

Can you just remind, because she doesn't actually sum up what you'd said, but I think Kath has had alluded once to, she had heard something about ice cream. vans, often being a front for criminal activity.

Is that right? Ice cream vans, and also any shop local to us that isn't doing that well trade-wise. Oh, well, it's a drugs thing anyway. They don't need customers. So, yeah, I mean, she has done more damage to the high street than online shopping. But, yeah, she had something about drugs and ice cream.

I can't even remember what it is now. Tappant says, this doesn't apply. to all ice cream vans as I'm sure that most of them are... No, no, I think I'd said it did. I've got to be fair to her here. She's not a woman to say,

oh yeah, I'm not saying it's... She's a woman to say every fucking ice cream man is in the drugs business. That's the kind of way she expresses her thoughts. But most... I am aware,

most of them are above board tuppence continues, but I am aware of an ice cream van that used to drive around location redacted where I used to work that had a certain kind of tune for whether there was any cannabis on offer from the ice cream cellar What a day for a day dream

What would they play? I would love to share the tune with you however sadly I can't but it was a cracker That was from Tuppence Isn't it? Why can't you share the She can't share For reasons I'll explain to your affair

To do with her work Oh, I see. So the cannabis, what do you think, the ice cream seller, I mean, can you imagine every time you heard that song coming on? I used to go to work and I go ha. That's too obvious. They'd want to cover it up their crimes. So what do you think it would be like?

Scooby-Doo. What does that thing call it ting or something? It's about a man saying he goes to shop. I don't know, but I'm worried. says, well, it's in a West Indian accent, I warn you. I'll try and pick my way through it. I wouldn't do the accent, yeah. It's very, I think it's an impossible song to sing without doing it.

Well, try, Frank. You see the lyrics. Really try hard. Okay, well, at the end, he notices marijuana in this store and says, give me a bit of dat ting deer. Okay, okay, we got through it. It was fine. I don't know what we've gained from me doing it.

No. Of anglicising it, but anyway. But yes, so that is Kath was right in some aspects. You pleased that Kath was right? Well, like I said, Kath tends to operate very much in 100% plus or 100% minus. In binaries, yeah. Nothing in between at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yes, I suspect, I didn't know it happened in the ice cream trade. The only illegality I've ever come across was someone who had a biow written sign on their ice cream van that said, Cornet with chocolate flake, 84P. And I said, or whatever it was. When was that? Well, this is going off a bit.

I might not have got the price right. But I said, yeah, I said, why do you call it a 1990? We've been told we can't use a phrase. Because a copyright. Yeah. Really? Yeah, but an ice, when are the copyright people waving down an ice cream van? He said, oh, whoa, whoa!

Hang on a saying, you can't hand write that on a piece of paper. You can't call that a 99. That's not a camera. I like them arriving at the... Hello, it's Mario in. Yes, it's about the intellectual property rights of his 99s. I'm from Mishonderea lawyers. I mean, they should go to the fucking fair

and see those patents of... Mickey mouse with brown fur instead of black. Or the Madonna one. I like the George Michael ones. Have you seen the George Michael ones at the fair? I bet he's got a really thick beard, doesn't it? You know when they do them at the fair? We love fairground art.

When they do them on things like the Dodgers, don't they? And they're sort of like attempted... If the Disney copyright lawyers went to a fairground... Yeah. Yeah, they'd have a field down. They'd just set fire to the whole place, burn it down with the people there. Oh my God. Oh, gosh, I want to mention something to you both, by the way.

Have you heard of chopel gangers? What? Chopper gangers. Yeah. Chopper. Chopper gangers. No. Oh, it's a new word. It's a young person's word.

Oh, God, and I'm not one of those anymore. I know. But you know what a doppelganger is. Yeah, of course. Right. So what's it apparently... Let's guess then what's it going to be? Chopper gangers.

So it's the chop bit that's going to be different. Yeah. So it's going to be like... Is it going to be too chop? that look very, very similar. No, why would you need a word for that? You know when you buy four lamb cotlets and you think, God, those two are fucking hell, eh?

Yeah, they've... Separated at birth, do you think? Two clones sheep. Actually, separated at butchers. Chopple, chocolate, chocolate doppelganger. Chur-ch-ch-no. Do you want to know? Yeah, I would love to.

This is trending. I only saw this this morning on that, And I was very excited by this. I was reading, embarrassingly, I was reading The Adults Guide to Kid Culture, which I sometimes look at online. I've never heard of this. It keeps me abreast of these things.

It's a goat-keeping manual. I'm obsessed with kid culture. Yes. So what it means, it's a hybrid or a portmanteau word, obviously, doppelganger, we know what that means, an almost spooky duplicate of another person. With chopped, are you familiar? with chopped?

Yeah, I'm familiar with it but I don't, it's... It means an ugly or... Yeah, I don't know whether it's a good or... I think it's mean. It's kind of a mean thing. It's kind of like a...

You know, I would probably say like a Mario and a wario. Right, so it's like a T-Moo version of you. Yeah, you're ugly. A T-Mu version of you. That's your Trollganger. That's your troppelganger. May I just say?

Do you see, Frank? So it'd be an oglier version of me. Yeah, so can you think... Hard to a match. Hey. Hey. There must be some... someone. Can I say the kids are clever.

Look, Mr Lardie Dargon of Graham from Irane half up, ma. I would say. What about Wood? What about the Mekon? Well, you know how Frank, I'll show you a picture and we'll put it up afterwards, looks like Queen Marguerite the second of Denmark. Don't take this wrong way. Do you think she might call you a chopper ganger of hers? She might do.

Choppergang. Yes, my choppelganger is Frank Skinner. I wouldn't say it of Queen Marguerite. No, no, no. No. So it's a kind of off. brand look-alike. That's absolutely amazing.

Yeah. You've got to find your troppelganger, Frank. I did it in... When I was in Japan, there was lots of Japanese people who looked like people I knew, but in a Japanese version. Oh, look at Japanese font, yeah.

Yeah, but I don't know. I wouldn't have dared come up with a name. Yeah, probably not. No. I think there's already been a reaction to this online, because obviously it could be abused.

couldn't it? It could be a mean thing to say to someone. Well, it's found your... Well, it's not mean. If you're the choppel game. But I think that's an abuse of what...

It's meant to be a self-deprecating thing. So it's if you say it of someone then that's mean, isn't it? It's fine if you're putting yourself down. I think it's okay for me to say that there's a picture of young Lucy Bronze, which I would say is my troppelganger.

But that means that... But she was a child. Okay. So she's a less good-looking version of you, is that what you're saying? Yeah, but it's like, you know, you can't compare a 32-year-old and like an 11-year-old. Do you know what I mean? So I think I'm stretching the rules there. Yeah.

I don't, hard to imagine it, not married to unkindness. But like, but people do say it, like, it's just another variant of like, oh, that's the T-Moo version of you or that's... I've never heard that before. Have you not? Oh, that's a big one, yeah. Again, very derogatory to team him. What about this? My wife bought my son.

Or the Sheen version, they say, don't there, as well. She bought my son a Ghostbusters flag. Yeah. He's massive Ghostbusters fan. A massive flag with the Ghostbusters are. And two of them, I just don't know who the fuck they are. They're not the Ghostbusters. Are they not? What was a child?

Did she get it in the market? No, she got it off Timu. I wonder. This is my point. See, that's a choppel ganger of Ghostbusters. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so maybe if we should just use it for inanimate objects. Yeah, yeah.

In Ghostbusters, the original film, they have to, you know, the ghost in the no entry sign, that famous Ghostbusters. The green one. No, it's red and white. It's a white ghost and then like a no entry sign, is it that? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I know the one you mean.

And in Ghostbusters, too, the ghost is holding up two fingers to say it's two. But what they've done on this sort of AI T-Mu thing is the ghost has got like the fingers have become too white rabbit ears. It's become a white rabbit in a no-entry sign. Like it's an anti-magic statement. But I don't mind it, I have to say. Okay, so maybe we don't think we should, I think, chop or ganger,

maybe we should stick with the T-Moo version of. Because I'm very comfortable with the T-Moo version of. I use it a lot. Middle Isle? What's that? Because I know Aldi Middle Isle. Do you know Aldi Middle Isle, Frank? I know.

I've been to the Aldi Middle Isle. It's all over it. So, when you use that, what does that mean? It's like, it's kind of like a T-Moo thing because it's like the physical version, the non-online shopping version of like T-Moo where you get knock-off versions of random things. But to me, you see the Middle Isle, the exciting thing is the randomness. Yeah. I mean, you really can find.

Do you remember when I went there once and there was an axe next to some not bad jumpers? Now that really is a trouble ganger. Yeah. It's very good. Oh, I mean that is fantastic. Thank you actually.

You didn't laugh. You just clapped your hand once and went, that's fantastic. I'm like that terrible person who goes, funny. Yeah. Oh, I don't like that. Does that person exist? Yes, I used to know someone. I no longer am friendly with that person.

I don't know about you. gigs I had to fucking settle for them from the audience. I have a bit about me in a Scouser who doesn't laugh. She just goes, I'm screaming. That's how she expresses that she found something funny. I thought it was the best thing I've ever heard in my life. That sounds like a choppel ganger of a laugh. Yeah, it is a trouble ganger.

I mean, we're now loving choppelganger. I'm in. As long as we're not saying it about... Yeah, well, as long as we're not mean about people, I think it's acceptable. Would you agree? Well, to me, if you're not going to say it about people, I don't think I'll be using it anymore. I thought you said it was unkind.

I know it is unkind, but it's one of those things that without unkindness, it is an empty and discarded rapper. Can I ask you a question on the subject of young people's lexicon? Yeah. Did your son get into the six-seven phase? Oh, he's still with it. And he'll still say it and get, Any other kids around, you'll still get laughs just from saying.

Do they just find it hilarious when they see it on anything? Yeah. Except when Kea Starmer did it. Oh, yeah. And then... Did that kill it? Well, Buzz really did feel as if Adam had turned up in his cell. It was funny.

I was walking along the other day and a trial... Herring his callback. See, she loves to analyse the comedy, right? I don't know. No, I don't. No, it's lovely. Yeah, I was walked past the child who'd seen it on a number plate

and it was my first time seeing it in the wild and the kid was like maybe, well, ironically six or seven. Yeah. And they saw it and they were going, six, seven, six, seven, like, absolutely losing it. And then their mum just went, shut up. And I was like, yeah, you've heard that too much.

Yeah. I love that, mum. Shut up. Fair enough, I say. Do shut up. Imagine if it had been popular in 1967. Oh, yeah. Kids would have just gone into overload.

They'd have gone extra. It's going to be great when we get to the year, 267. And all the kids are going. Speak for yourself. Yeah, exactly. I'm not. Will I make it? Where are we now?

Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be there. You'll definitely be there. You don't know. Do you watch the news? That would be so annoying. I'd be happy if we make thirsty. I was, yeah, I'm annoyed that I'm the generation's going to get.

With a bit of biohacking, you might make it. I'll make it. I think I would live in my normal life, but if we get nuclear bombed, I'm probably not surviving that. That won't help. And that's still... That won't help. I always say when I was growing up,

I don't think we ever had a conversation where someone didn't say, well, we're all going to be blown up. We were so certain that the Russians were going to... So do you think we'll be all right now? We're going to press the button. Well, it was all right then. when the millennium bog happened,

the planes didn't fall out the sky. But I do think that all of that was sort of like influenced by humans, whereas climate change, that's the thing that's going to get us. Thanks for listening today, guys. It's been an absolute pleasure having you. Wow.

Oh, I feel like I've read an year eight project. Yeah. Climate change is the tropeganger of nuclear warfare. Yeah. Yeah? So there you go, guys. Couldn't have done that on the radio. No.

We probably could have done once. Then we'd have got the memo. Back in 6-7. Captain Memo. Anyway, the next, can I say, Chloe, by the way, it's lovely having you on. Oh, we love it. So nice to see it.

I think I get too comfortable in this show to the point that I say stuff that is, like, just boring. I just love being here. I'm all right with that. You never stop to us? I don't remember you being bored before. Nonsense. Anyway, it's trailer time.
