Generals gather in their masses Just like witches at black masses It's always troubled me that they rhyme masses with masses Come on, guys, pull your finger out Where does that come from?

It's from a song called War Pigs. This is Frank Off the Radio. I'm joined by Emily Dean and Ruth Hosco. Follow the podcasts on X and Instagram. You can email the podcast via Frank. of the radio at Avalon UK.com. WhatsApp. Now that Frank's not on.

I would sing along with that if I had any idea what the WhatsApp number was. No, you don't know. I mean, how many jingles have I heard and not? I couldn't tell you one number from it. There wouldn't be a guess. To be fair, you struggle to find your own house sometimes. That is true. That is true.

Directions aren't his strong. Did you know that? Well, I empathise because I have got terrible sense of direction. Do you think it's a black? country thing. Maybe. I still have to go like that. Because everything's covered in the suit.

It's hard to distinguish one thing from another. It's hard to see. I still go like that to know that that's my left hand. You can't say like that on a podcast. Well, it might be clips away, do you know? Well, I don't, I hate the clips. I wish they didn't exist. For me, this is an audio media.

Okay. Okay. I still, for the readers, I put my left hand and your thumb and forefinger make an M. And that's how I know I've got my left hand there. It's a good system. Can I say to any listeners who don't have a left hand

that we apologize for that insensitive use of direction? You don't need to do that. It's so over the top. Is it? Oh, well, you wouldn't say there if you didn't have enough done. That's all I'm saying. But anyway, here we are. Well, I've found my way back at 4.30 in the morning.

Oh, from the day. Did you watch it at David's? Well, yeah. So what happened was... We should say we're talking about the England game, obviously. Yeah, so I was at home. We want Superstore as a family. Yeah.

So then Kath went to bed. This is like one of these. In Agatha Christie when they slowly disappear. I think I know who the murderer is, Kath. Then me and Boss watched an episode of Doctor Who called Smile and then Boz went to bed. So then it was just me. I had a text from Dave said,

oh shit no it's 2 o'clock because they put the kickoff back and I thought I got to have an extra hour Yeah what did you do with your hour? I watched as much pondatory as I could stop me I watched the Brazil Norway and then all the pondatory at the end of it I don't normally watch post

Unless there's a big incident And then randomly pointless as well An episode of pointless Oh yeah I didn't watch that I watched Simon Armitage One Hour documentary about King Arthur As preparation I thought that'd be good preparation for an England game

You lulotic. So I watched that, and then I make my way up to Dave's house. And what I was, my intention was, I thought this is perfect, the extra hour. Because England had played Australia in the T20 World Cup final, which of the women's. Right. And I'd avoided the score all day. And I thought, I can just sit and watch the highlights. So I went to the highlights package on IPlayer, the title of the highlights.

package for the Women's World Cup final was Australia Thrashies England. I thought, well, that's, you call the highlights package that. Spoiler, and I? Oh, I don't like that. I didn't want to watch that. Well, Frank, that was why a lot of people were saying, oh, why didn't you just wait till 7, 10 a.m.? You know, they were streaming it a lot for kids and things like that.

They're streaming. And I just thought I can't. Oh, no. One can't nowadays with the phone. No, that wasn't even a consideration. I had to push on through. So I said, I said to Dave, can I come at 1.30?

I know it's a bit earlier than I normally do it, but I'm getting a bit bored at home. How are you? I want to start something, I can't. So I walked up the road, man, it was so, the one, not a car thief was stirring on our road. It was so quite 1.30, yeah. But weren't the lights on people watching it?

I wasn't aware of the lights on. Not in Hampstead. No, not in Hampstead. They might have watched Simon Armitage on the road. Oh, that was, I watched it. on record. So anyway, I got there, and as soon as I got into the house, my feet first of all got itchy, and then they started burning, and then they swall locked twice their normal size.

Is this his cats? Well, I think it must have in his cat. He gave me an anti, usually when I arrive at Dave's to watch a match, he gives me an antihistamine. I always say, did you send for an exorcist? I always say that on the doorstep. Sometimes I say, did you get this from the Guardian? Because he's got a doormat with three stars on it. Oh, right.

And I'm happy to just say the same thing, Salf and Alpha. But then he gives me an antihistamine because he's got several cats, none of which I'm counted because they move about. So I got settled down. Then my feet swall up. I took my inter-histamine. And then Ezra, his son came down in a dressing girl. Oh, very Hugh Hefner.

I've never watched the match with anyone wearing a dressing gown before. Do you not do PJs for the match? No, no, no. So me and Dave are fully clothed. But he's in like a long, elegant dressing gown. It was like a mea cat advert. Frank, you're right. The meerkat has changed the dressing gown forever.

But Edra's very like he's got long hair and a beard. He's very sort of elegant looking. He is. When he moved about the hair, You know, it was, it was, I was comparing the market. Can I ask a question, Frank, what did you eat? Because I got, I decided, I didn't know what to eat because I was hungry, but I'd already eaten. So at 3.10am, I went down to have an ice lolly.

Oh. Why did I do that? That's perfect, though. Yeah, it was just what I needed. Did you eat food today? Wasn't the game on at 310? No, the game, yeah, the game finished. In the middle of the game, I was watching it upstairs in bed.

I had to go downstairs to the fridge and get. an ice lolly. No. And I ate it in bed watching it. I, what I did in order to fill the time when I was waiting for the kick-off time, when I,

I didn't want to arrive at Dave's an hour early. That's too much. And so I thought I'll clean my teeth now and get it. Get that out. If I clean my teeth downstairs before I get to bed, when I get up,

I feel that's such a treat. I don't have to clean my teeth. I feel like I've won the lot So I couldn't really eat anything after that. I always think tea's all right, so they don't have sugar in it. Here's an idea. You could clean your teeth again. That's mad.

I don't want to wear them out. Oh my God. So anyway, I'll just pull her hair out of my nose, which I don't think was growing. I saw you do it. It made me ill. It seemed to be launched. Stop doing it. Stop it.

Do it afterwards. Well, it's longer. It's longer than my own head head. You can't pull out nostril hair. So, yeah, so I arrived and I said, here's my prediction. This will be the easiest game we've had in this World Cup, which I think was probably incorrect. Yes, I would say so.

But anyway, it was brilliant. It was so brilliant. It was so exciting. It was a truly great game anyway. I think it meant we had the door opened so that the night was next. We watched it with the night. It's nice for the neighbours. Yeah.

And it was really. You have fucking. Do you know, I felt angry at people that went up, which is very unreasonable. I don't mind small kids, but I just think, come on, you've got to make an effort. But I'm glad it was at 2 o'clock in the morning. It made it even more excited. It reminded me when my dad used to get me up in the middle of the night

to listen to Mohammed Ali on the radio. It was like that. It was really fantastic. And at the end of it, we all hogged each other. And Dave does this thing that he does at the end of England going. It's funny to really just notice. He says, anyway, well done, Frank. Well, don't know.

I thought, I thought, we've really done it. We just watched other people do it. But he says it with great sincerity. Well done, Frank. And it gives me a home. I didn't know that. Well, done. As if I played.

Was it for me and yes. This is the old Declan Rice or something. Maybe it's like the collective support. You know, a group of people. energy combines. No, but well done. I think that's really sweet. I like it.

I think it's a bit weird. I won't lie. I did feel like I'd like. Have you ever asked him why he says that? I never really registered it until, something to do with the early hours, when there's nothing else happening in the world. I know there's stuff happening in the world,

but you know, the world. And as I walk back, as I walk back, I could see there's a pub at the bottom of my row. and I could see a little bit of activity, but basically it was still, the world was silent. And then in the distance, I heard, like a car going back.

The first car horn of the night. I loved it. Oh, what about Harry Kane's voice? Oh, it's a shame. I know, but it was even worse after, he had a sore throat. Oh, poor Harry. Wayne Rooney said after he goes,

you know, that's the best interview he's ever done. I'm throwing shame. Is it? Really? Yeah, it's a bit mean, I thought of one. Our dog didn't like that interview. Way too high. To be honest, I didn't see that till the next day. I'll be brutal.

I left Dave's before Wonder War. I thought I'm not. Oh, fine. I'm not watching that. And it was getting, it was literally getting light when I left the house. I could hear a bird song. I felt that was like the 90s all over again for me. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, except I didn't have to have a shower as soon as I got in. Oh, Frank. Sorry everyone. Sorry everyone. Can we do that again, Paul? I hate the way you make things sleazy. Can I just say there's no one called Paul working on this podcast? No.

But it was truly, I said to die. Your boy did well as well, you too, didn't he? He's doing so well. He must be so proud of the moment of him. And I'm seeing loads of clips of him and what a decent young gentleman he is. He's making a good gentleman he is. He's making it hard for the rest. Do you think the others are getting a bit annoyed?

But he's the accent really. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I feel so proud when he talks. Speaks all the languages as well. I made the effort. Couldn't believe it. Yeah.

No, it was lovely. And... What were you going to say? Do you have any views about Donald Trump, by the way? What did you think about the card thing? I thought it was... What I loved about it is, when it comes to a lack of awareness.

And that means that he doesn't play in the next game. Well, that's not fair. I said, well, you're banning him from a game that hasn't happened? That's very bad, very bad rule. And so I said, and then they said, yeah, that's a good, we didn't think of that before. In the company of someone who can get us into serious trouble with ice. So it was just like, I don't know anything about football, but I don't like that rule. So I was phone the phone, I phoned Johnny, as he called him from FIFA.

Or infantino. Yeah. And he changed it. I mean, it was absolutely outrageous, but sort of hilarious. Because he doesn't know any better. Do you think they should change the rule then for us? That Kwanza shouldn't be. He should be allowed to play then.

But I think with Trump. You know the bloke who had Tourette's at the Bafters? And those are the centres. But, you know, he can't. He can't help him. He can't help. I'm kind of starting to feel out about Trump. I think Trump, he just doesn't know.

But the best thing about the interview when he talked about it was there was three of his people around them. Like, talk about like zombies. He had these, it was a zombie woman and two zombie blocks. The eyes completely gone behind the eyes. And these rictus grins that sometimes come with Rig and Mortis standing around him. Oh my God, it was like the zombie king.

You won't get that around here, mate. Oh, man. Yeah, and I said it was, look, I was a great sportsman, great sportsman at college. I understand sports and I told them, you know, there's two guys just run into each other. It does annoy me how funny he is. Oh, no. It's a show. He's brilliant.

On July 16th, the hawk lands on Netflix. From the mind of Will Ferrell Oh, Mama, I'm back. Come in a new original series. Get ready, get ready. That's it. Did I stutter? When an iconic pro golfer. Lonnie?

Monty. Hawkins! Takes one last swing at greatness. You were a big shot golfer. I still am a big shot golfer. No one. Dad, I'm the Hawk now. We'll stand in his way.

That's how it's done. The Hawk, only on Netflix, July 16th. Well, we've had some people get in touch. with us Frank. 797 wants to know because a lot of people have been reacting to you acknowledging, I suppose, if I'm okay to use that word, that Wonderwall is slightly taken over from Three Lions. And we've had a lot of people saying no, O Contrere, we're still Three Lions fans. 797, how did Frank react to hearing three lions pumping out of the Azteca Stadium? Well, they always play at first, but to be honest, I think it's seen as a bit of a support act.

Right. Everybody just can get warmed up and then they can do the grand finale of Wonder War. I saw something on X, which was David recording a video and it had your voice on it in the background. Oh, you saw that. It was when you were watching. I don't know if consent was involved here, but anyway.

Well, after Jol's, what does that matter on this podcast? After Jolz Brandre. So he'd put up a video on X and it's you in the background. You can just see the television. and obviously the end. Yeah. And you can hear you saying, what are you doing?

Oh. And you hear David saying, I'm recording it because they're playing three lions. Oh, yeah. And then you said... I didn't know he's going to post it. He did post it.

Of course he did. What was I thinking that he wouldn't post it? As Warren Beatty once said to Madonna, why would one do anything in life if you did not have an audience? Oh, yes, that's true. Well, yeah, you know, obviously it saddens me

because I think it might actually come home this time I'm actually starting to think Well then they'll be playing it loads Frank You'll get your revenge But you know when you finally come home And your wife's in bed with another man That's what it's going to be like with Wonder War It's going to be rude

I'll be back with a really big kit bag Of my back finally I know I was missing Presum dead But here I am Oh Who's this Manchester the guy. Liam Gallagher staring back at you.

Yeah. I don't know. I'm told that on today's PMQs, it's Wednesday when we record this. I got a text from my brother-in-law saying that they meant, they said it's coming home on PMQ. Did they? Yeah.

It's not, Wonderball's a great song. It's not that quotable because no one's got a fucking clue what it means. Yeah, it's just, I mean, it feels to me like, you know what the Dadaurists? would throw words into the air and wherever they landed, that was the poem. It feels a bit like that.

But it's a great song, you know, and I think people have truly grown to love it. Oh, Frank, please. That's what I'm saying. Do you mean three lines or Wonder War? No, he's talking about One Wall. Oh, I mean Wonder War. Three lines is obviously a great song.

Yeah, and everyone does love it. Okay. So, Frank, can I just find out, before we leave the subject to football, Do you think we will, are we going to beat Norway? Well, Sandy, our producer, is half Norwegian. Yeah. So she's been a bit shirty apparently.

She's been, she's had a real toad with us. She brought her, she threw an amiga supplement bottle. And they brought some fish in. But I think we're going to win the World Cup. That's what I think. Do you know my heart went when he said that? then. I really felt excited. That's why it's so, like I said,

Three Lions has been there for 30 years. And then at the last video, it's like when Devin Locke fell over in the derby. And then David reduced to recording it on the telly. Look, I can hear it in the background. I'm sure I can hear it. Oh, no. Come on, mate.

What if it just pan round and me and Esther are sitting there going, Three lights on a long elaborate dressing gown. As you're in his chair, compare the me a cat dressing gown. Oh man. I see what it looked like. If you imagine Dracula at home, that's the dressing gown he would wear. I'm seeing like a smoking jacket. No, no, it's long.

I'm saying black silk. Floor length. I think it was velvet. Floor-length. Was it? Black? I'm picturing no. A monogram. But I might.

I might have added that. But yeah, it was a very elegant. Sort of Dracula, having a lazy Sunday. Would you say? I remember a kid saying that at school. There was a film called Alia Cod. And he said, hey, hold on, that's Dracula. Yeah, everybody worked that out three weeks ago.

We might have done. I am obsessed with Dracula's leisure wear. So, because he can't always wear the suit, so whatever. Do you know what I mean? He does sleep. The trouble is because he sleeps rough. He's a lovely castle. Do you know what?

I could do worse. I'm just saying I've had worse. Yeah, but he sleeps in a castle, but he sleeps in a drawer. It's what it looks like in the castle. Come back to my place. Exactly. Oh, sorry about the draw. I mean, if he was around nowadays, I'm not saying he isn't kids,

he's sleeping a filing cabinet like they do at the mortuary, I'm guessing. With his breakfast order tied on a tag to his big toe. So the servant does enough to open the drawer all the way. Just, you know, musley, black tea, got it. I like that Ezra had a silk dressing girl, though, because he do love the usual work. I'm thinking it's velvet. Oh, is it velvet?

Okay. I mean, you know, it was I was it was in the middle of the night. It's a real departure from David. I cannot see Dibadil in a velvet dressing gown. The thing with me, we used to wear a dressing gown

that was too short. Oh, it was? Oh, do you know that's my worst thing, men in two short dressing gown? Two little legs. It's virtually a kimono. Little Jack greelish, hairy legs popping out. Well, yeah, I saw his little Jack greenish,

Many a time and aft. Oh, God, thank. It's even had the curtains. Really? Well, you know. No, I don't know. And I'd like to leave it that way. Yeah.

Well, I don't know if I'd leave it that way. I think I'd spruped it up a little. Oh, God, no. Anyway, that was the... It was brilliant, no. It was really brilliant. Yeah. I wish we had more middle of the night.

In the middle of the night. Well, it's 10 o'clock on Sunday. I go walk into deep ease. And he has in his dressing gone. I can't even see his knees. Okay. But will you be watching it at 10 o'clock on Saturday, Rame David's?

Well, I'm at a festival. So I'm either going to watch it on an enormous screen with a lot of people in skull rings. But download's gone? Pardon? Download's passed. Now this is, the one I'm going to is very... Oh, he goes to what's school ones.

Well, I've had... I might be watching it with David Badele, weirdly. Oh. Simply because Jonathan Ross has extended an invitation. That's lovely. And apparently he invited David. I feel if I went to Jonathan's to watch you, I'd have to watch you ironically.

I know. And I can't do that. No. I've given him a rule. No being horrible about England. But I don't know if he'll stick to it. we'll see. I don't think he's horrible so much,

but I don't want a sort of postmodern sob commentary when I'm watching a big important England game. God bless him. I love Jonathan, if you know. But he doesn't really love football. He doesn't.

He doesn't. He doesn't watch the train set going around while you're watching the games. He has like toys and trainset? Has he got a train set? I feel like, I don't know. I feel like... I like to know he's imagined

to the train set. I think it's because I saw a Channel 5, the top 100 toys and Jonathan Ross was presenting it. And I feel like, and you know him better than I do. I do know quite well. He had a collection of...

He's got a lot of toys. No, he's got a lot of toys. I think you might be confusing him with Rod Stewart. It's happened before. No. The toys he's got are more action figures from 1970s Japanese fantasy animation. In very old dirty boxes that make me feel sick.

Oh, God. It's those kind of things. Frank likes them. There's nothing wrong with old dirty boxes, as Dracula was so. to me just the other day. I said, can you pull your dressing gown across a little bit of it? Oh, you don't think he has that.

Frank, does Dracula wear pants? I'm sure he must do. What pants would he wear, though? It's hard to imagine. It's very undignified. He's not going to wear wifference, is he? Not a silky boxer. What pants would Dracula wear?

I think he's got a white. If anyone knows. I think he's got a red heart on the front. So when he gets his penis out, It looks like a state going through his heart. Why'd you have to say that? I'm sorry we've talked about Dracula's appendage. I'm sticking with appendage.

Anyway, what about woman's world? What's your week been right, Ruth, Hosko? Well, yesterday I experienced my first scam. I was scammed. What happened? MRI? Is it M? Scan with an M.

Oh, okay. So I wanted to buy a Dyson Air Wrap. Now, this is in Woman's World. You know yourself. I love an air wrap. What is an air wrap? So Mr. Dyson created. Is it like a fan but with chicken, isn't it?

No, Frank. Okay. Just listen. This guy because I've got a Dyson thing. You won't need this, trust me. No, but Kath might have one. No, Kath wouldn't have one. No, okay.

So it's a hairstyle in. tool that Mr. Dyson created for the ladies. Oh men. It's the ultimate hairstyling. Or anyone else that wants to you people without left hand. Yeah exactly if you got left hand right hand it's interchangeable so I wanted a new

one of those. I'd had quite an old one that I'd sold and they're not cheap we should say thank this is the thing they're not cheap so you're looking at upwards of £300 for the newest one but it's phenomenal Frank oh my god life changing and I was just going to go and buy a new one but then I thought I could save myself a bit of money and also be sustainable there's

plenty on Facebook marketplace or gum tree secondhand ones that you could get so I went on gumtree I'm putting the be sustainable motive in brackets yeah that's not very convincing basically that means he doesn't believe you at all but I don't want to put loads of electrical landfill into the world okay but would you rather save money I'd rather have a brand new one yeah But, you know, I'd rather, yeah, save money. Look, Frank, let's it, what happened? And after the story, I wish I'd just done that. Go on speedy out.

Okay, so I saw on Gumtree that there was a air wrap for half the price of what, you know, the cheapest one would be. So I was like, okay, I'll get that. And it was all a bit of blurb saying, oh, it was bought for my sister, and she doesn't use it anymore. And so I went to Walthamstow to get it. Oh, he's 17. Mm-hmm. And Brian Harvey-wise. And I got off at the...

the tube station and there were two young men there, one of them with the duffel bag. And I thought, oh no. It's not even a lady. I don't trust that. I'm going to get jumped here because they wanted, they wanted cash for it, right? And I said, and Mama didn't raise no fool. I thought I'll do a bank transfer. It's once it's been handed over.

Once I've checked it thoroughly. So I went over to them. What did they look like, Ruth? It's like a bloody hostage. Well, this is, when I saw the duffel bag, I thought what's going to be in there? Did they have liege sportswear on? Sports wear on. Okay, I'm getting the idea.

Sort of, they both looked like they'd been using the air wrap because they had long black wave of air. Okay, fine. Really like luxurious. Well, at least it had been road tested. They had long black wavy hair. Not Jackie Stallone. Is it mega death? We're selling it.

That's not what I imagined at all. They looked very groomed. I bet mega. Oh, okay. And so they get it at the bag and I open the box and look at it. How does it look? Great, perfect. Amazing.

In fact, almost too good to be true. And as I'm looking at it, a random bloke comes over and goes, can you get me some air clippers? I need air clippers. And I thought, oh, no, this is an operation. Do you know what I mean? Air clippers. Hair clippers.

She's from Birmingham the same as you or Black Country. Sorry, I should have said hair clippers. No, I was, I, no way we're on to like, strange sounding gadgetry. Yeah, but if you two can't understand each other, what hope is there for me? Do you know what? Because air wrap? Yeah, exactly. Oh, yes. Fair enough.

Right. So hang on, this bloke came over to the two Megadeth fans in the black hair. And he was asking them for hair products. Can you get me some hair clippers? Like it's spice, Frank. Well, it makes me think that this wasn't his sister's air wrap, if you know what I mean. No, exactly. Oh, it's off the back of a lorry.

But me is the naive. I didn't know that there were like hair-based themes. Stick around. I didn't necessarily. What are you dealing now? Coke, Dyson Air. This is Dave. Dave's new to the gang.

He just just does combs. Ollie does serum only. Yeah, exactly. So I thought, oh, I looked, anyway, I looked over and I thought, right, okay, this is not right. But I thought, you know, it looks good, looks perfect. And I said, can I do a bank transfer? Yeah, fine, did that. Took it home.

So about 150, we're talking. Yeah, took it home. Had a look at it all. It was an air fryer. It was three magic beans. Oh, no. I can't believe that happened. So I looked.

I was like, right, I need to, this is too good. I was like, I need to make sure it works. Yeah. Got the serial number, typed it into the Dyson website. And they were like, oh, this is a corn cob. This isn't any sort of... What does a corncob mean? No, I'm joking.

It wasn't... I was like, oh, it's a passing. I thought this was a fraud police language for something. No. Oh, I see. They were like, oh, this isn't anything we recognise at all. So I was like, oh no. What does that mean?

They made it. No, they didn't, Frank. It's a fake. That's what I'm assuming. So does it work, though? It works, but the problem is with counterfeit ones. They haven't gone through the same rigorous testing. So there's things on ready.

You're going to die, yeah. It'll take your face off, you know, if you start using it. I was like a chance. It's like a chimpanzee. So I messaged, I got his number and I messaged him three times and was like, because I'm a naive, I went, oh, God, you probably haven't realised. But the thing you've just sold me, it's a counterfeit? I said, what, the gift that was given to your sister is fake?

Did you know that? I said, if you've got a legitimate one, you can give me. I can meet him and exchange it. And then he didn't reply. And I thought, oh, Mama did raise a foalier. She raised a liability. But how would he have a legitimate one? If he'd got one from his sister.

Well, at this point, I thought, when the bloke coming after the air clippers come up, I thought you've got a stash of airwraps somewhere. Something's going on. So three missed messages, three messages on Gumtree, not replied. So I've had to go through my bank and they've had to pay me back. But they can only pay me back £80. They can't pay me back anymore. I've just seen Ruth.

I'm sorry, a brief AI overview of this. Counterfeit Dyson AirRaps are very widespread online, often sold heavily discounted prices. Look at me like I'm at the desk at Crime Watch UK. You're like Watchdog. Watchdog, I'm the woman with the blonde bob. So that was my first experience and I should have just, you know,

gone to Argos, got a brand new one and said, doesn't matter a basis of anything. Yeah, but you could say if Dyson wanted to really help people he cut the prices and then we wouldn't need to go to these villains. What he could do is send a brand new one as a courtesy to Spiritland. so I could pick it up after I've been kind of. It could be stolen here then.

Even more crime. Well, Dyson, he's the one who fled the UK, wasn't he? Did he? Yeah, because he voted leave. And then he fled. And then he did. And then he did. Okay.

Yeah, because he voted leave and then he was like, oh, I actually don't like the way this is impacting my business. I think he gets in Thailand or something. He fled the UK in a special Dyson glider that they played. It was completely silent. Yeah. And with it being you're sitting on, looks like that. like there's nothing there at all.

Looks like you're just sitting in a plastic oval. But in fact, the air currents hold you aloft. Oh, nice. There you go. There you go. So be careful out there, guys. Don't be fooled like I was. Don't feel bad about it.

You're not the first. He moved to Singapore. Did he? Oh, that'll be so he can listen to BBC World, which is only truly loved in Singapore. No one else. else in the world's interested in it. He likes raffles too much, that's why.

I imagine the expats of Singapore are lovely people. Yeah, exactly. Really nice, trustworthy, lovely individuals with nothing to hide. I'm sure there'll be some nice ones. I'm sure they would be the first of a bit. Can I say we like expats, but just, you know. I don't like them that much. Frank, don't say that.

We have a lot of expats actually listening to this show. I love expats. Yeah. Yeah. are expats people who used to live in Ireland oh frankly really come on oh anyway

well that's I'm sad to hear that you know what though I was What are you going to do with it now You can't use it you'll die I can't do anything with it Yeah I'll just use it as a footstool I suppose And I was thinking about it yesterday

Oh that's like a bad thing that's happened But God's going to smite them and that will be redemption for me. When the rapture comes, they'll be the first to go. Yeah, that's probably. I mean, they might have already asked for forgiveness. Too late now. Well, you know.

I don't like to, you know, judge ye not. That's true. Well, I'm so sorry. Or in this instance, josh ye not. Very good. Hey, josh, I get it. I like it. I love that.

I've always wanted to, when I want to write you. This was a question often asked when I worked at Instaar magazine. I bet it was. I was shouted down to the subs many a day. How do you actually spell, Jez? I don't know. We, there was no common consensus over this. Some people would go for ZHUH.

I never felt satisfied with that. Well, there should be a J in there. 100% should be a J. Don't you think? Somewhere. But the sub editors can be a cautious breed. But I like the idea of word. that can only exist in an audio world

and can't be written down. If only this podcast was like that without the stupid visual clips. You've got to say stupid visual clips. People love that bit. I know, they like the clips, Frank. He doesn't like it. Because he thinks you either do TV

or you do audio. I don't think, you know, the days when my face was tolerable. It's still tolerable. People don't want to see a face, not young people. I didn't see people wanted to say it. I said it's still tolerable.

People don't want their noses robbed in mortality. In my experience. Do you think that's why older people struggle, you know, famously, it's like older people say they struggle to get work on TV and things like that. Do you think that's honestly what it is? You say famously, but I find you struggle much less famously. But do you know what I mean? Do you honestly think that's the reason why?

It might be, but I don't want to get it. You don't want to say. When we got kicked off the radio, loads of journalists. tried to get me to say it was age. And you didn't. And I said, what are you? We just said. What are you getting that? I don't understand. I said, Emily's only. Exactly. How dare you say? Because I'm too old. Bloody sauce. I know. That's the thing is that even if it does exist, you should never say it's because of that. It's a bit like blaming the altitude. It's exactly like the altitude in Azteca. We don't want to hide behind that. No, exactly.

No. Frank, would you like to hear... I think we should go and save it. Oh, do you? I think our time is up. I think... Well, there's age isn't that bad in TV now on radio. It's affecting podcasts.

Truth is, I need a wee. In fact, there's one half-price on eBay. Oh, my God. Too soon. It's the Frank Skinner podcast. A new winter change is blowing. It's the Frank Skinner podcast. I'm not totally sure how it's going.
