Starting point is 00:08:55 The plot vickens? Why did you give him, why did you give him a false name? sure. You can never be too careful. That's as much as she's told me. Ridiculous. What did she think she was going to achieve by giving him a false name? She didn't tell him, right, that her real name was Irene until eight days before they got married. Incredible. That is fantastic. I don't know. They're they're West Country, right? They should have known that they. They're presumably weren't they? Yeah. Don't start, Jave.

Starting point is 00:10:17 Anyway, it's about 11 o'... They could have just been there, it's quite feasible. They were just there buying records or something. So it's embraced that pop band, they're going to be doing some music. No, they could have been there buying record for our calendars. Are you doing all right? Anything. It should be. they should be fairly straightforward. this. All I've got to do is read it. How hard can't. How how how how how how how how how how how how how can it. How can it. How can it. How can it. How can it. How can it. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they. they. they.

Starting point is 00:10:50 They might just be, I don't know. They could be doing pottery. Really? They can't be bringing to some stuff between 8 and 10 tonight. Shut up, let me finish. Go on then, have a go. Embrace, there's something going on at HMV later on, all right, in Oxford Street, it features Embrace, there, it's two with their album or whatever, whatever it is, it starts about 11 o'clock, all right? We've got wrist is, all right, we're going to do the competition in a minute to win these wristbands, okay? You understand? This is good radio. Super slick, Chivez. Yeah. You got the wristbands and everything, right,

It's going well. to XFM all right this evening between 8 and 10 to have the wristbands attached to you all right you understand and if you're going with a guest they have to come with you I was moving on to that okay it was just that I wanted to get on before July oh really I think that's enough for now yeah I know it's one thing that I mean we're a rubbish right but the most important thing is the thi they know what they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theFM 104.9 so that on every idlers they know what they're listening to so if someone just tuning into the radio and it's oh what's this I like this XFM 104.9 good I'll listen tomorrow as well it's Bread and Butter that is fundamental. Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:12:16 you know Laurie that is textbook DJing XFM 104. Exactly Lorry Hallet, is it Hallibur or Haddock? I don't know what. The bloat who does the review show after us. I'm not sure he's a fictional. He comes in, he slags the staff, he runs about the mess and everything. This was his first link last week. Listen to this. This is Lori Halle. I thought that was good so I'll play it too. Very good evening to you, it's Laurie Hallett with X-FM's X-rated Review Show on 104. I'll stop me there, Laurie.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Rick and Steve out of the building, they've gone. They've finished. 104.7? Do you think he's not enlightened? Do you think he's not enlightened? He's a little bit embarrassed. And some people even like make, you know, some stations do like whole jingles, musical jingles, so it helps you remember it. Like, um, 95.3, capital F.M. So you can't forget it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:12 So what I mean? Yeah. We should do that. Definitely. theyf. It's just so simple. Yeah. 95.12.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Capital F. M. 12 capital FN Scope Do you, do you, do you, do you, That's all Bobby, Bobby, Scope, song for Bobby on XFM, 104.9, just gone 5 o'clock. It's about time for a perfect murder. Jemez, everybody knows somebody they want to kill. Yeah, all right. Everybody's thought about that. Can I just say, we're not actually saying that's a good thing. Well, no, no, we're no, no, we're not they want to kill. All right? Everybody's thought about that. I just say we're not actually saying that's a good thing.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Well, no, no, we're not advocating murder, but we're saying that it is something that crosses people's minds. And you know, if you are tempted to murder, why not? you get it right. Why not get it right. for real life, perhaps the reason you haven't committed murder yourself. This could be the reason you don't commit murder, is that you know, what am I going to do with the murder weapon? That's the stumbling block, you see, if there's a murder weapon, you see, you know, the murder weapon, you know, you can normally sort of trace, you know, the murder, you know, the murder, you know, theyrific. That's is, you're that's, you're that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, the, the, that's a st. That's a st. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a st. That's a st. That's a st. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. It's so simple. I can't believe other people have a thought of it. What you do is say the person you want to murder, right, lives in the street opposite,
Starting point is 00:14:28 all right, lives in the house opposite, right? What you do is you rent a room opposite theirs, all right? You wait until one day arrow, an ice arrow, all right, with a very sharp point, all right? Then you get yourself a bow, all right? And you fire that ice arrow, okay, across the street, through the window, into the heart of the person you want to murder, right, killing them instantly, all right? They stumble, they fall to the ground,then the ice arrow melts, Javais, murder weapon, it's gone. Gone into thin air, the wet patch dries, all right? The police arrive, they can't find the murder weapon,
Starting point is 00:15:11 safe. This bow, is this made of ice? Well, the bow, the bow, see, all that is a bit of wooden string. Right. That could be anybody's bow. Yeah, but then if you bludgeon just with a hammer, it could be anyone's hammer. Nevertheless, the fingerprints possibly will still be on the bow. But the ice arrow is just, it's melting. Oh, yeah. Right. So what they do is they're probably find you wandering around with a bow, yeah. Look at this bloc if you didn't you the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. It's th th th th th th th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's themem. It's them. It's them. It could them. It could their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's the. It could the. It could be the. It could the. It could the. It could thoooooooooooooooooooom. It could could theke you didn't like. Yeah. They'll have motive because you presumably didn't like them. I didn't. Then there's a little hole in his heart with some water. No, it's dried. It's dried out, is it?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Water's dried. Oh, so that's why it makes it the perfect murder. Because the ice has melted and dried. Brilliant. That is brilliant. Okay. It's incredible. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. the. that. that's. that's. the. that's. the. that's. that's. the. that's. that's. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the little. the little. the little. the little. the little. the little. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.

It's. It's. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's incredible. There's not basically there's not one hole in that plan. No. So do you have to conveniently find somewhere that you know that's got a flat to let opposite him as well? Well, how hell? That is the perfect murder. Right. Okay. Oh yeah. Presumably you've only got one ice arrow. Just one. You only need one. So you've been practicing presumably with like other arrows sort of to get your shot just right just as he walks in front of the window you can release this this
Starting point is 00:16:33 fatal arrow of ice. Are you are you mocking my plan? No it's good. Are you mocking that? And this is Mud Honey. We'll talk about this after. Night of the Hornage by Mudhoney on XFM 104. What is it? Nine. Yeah, it's nine. One to four point nine. Yeah. Where do you make the ice arrow? What you do you can do that in your living room or your kitchen? So you get, what do you do? Do you have a mold? You can do that for it.

Well you just you can buy big blocks of ice I expect.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah, okay. I'll be honest I'm being a bit sarcastic I think that it's the stupid idea. It would never work. You're an idiot. Oh 171 5802,000. Can we have some proper perfect murders please? 0175 you're perfect murders or they could faxx. they just. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they can they they they they can't.

Okay. 0171-501234. I think we should give away a pair of those embrace wristbands to the perfect murder. Yeah, the best perfect murder.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I just went out to the fax machine and there was no fax at all but just a puddle of water by it. Suspicious. Yeah, after this break, Oasis. 104.9. Nirvana on a plane, the four of that oasis and some might say. Beautiful. On XFM, 104. I was listening to Capitol the other day. Oh, it's a fantastic station. Great station. You know it plays the hits Capital the other day. Oh, it's a fantastic station. Great station.
Starting point is 00:18:05 You know, it plays the hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Well, it did actually play one. It reminds me of a story. Remember last week you were talking about you were bullied at school by Lionel Richie? It was a nightmare. I know, yeah, it was a big bloke. And I was bizarrely bullied. Yeah, but I mean there's another there was I went to school with another mega pop star. He didn't. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:27 What are the odds of that? I know it's amazing. But he wasn't I didn't get into fights if he did bully me but I found in retrospect he was nicking all my ideas. I can't believe it. Yeah. Who was it? It was full Simon? Well Simon he's got a reputation. I'm not surprised. But I mean I wrote this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. this song. the the the song. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.

But I mean, I wrote this song when we were in music class and it was called Lots of Ways to Leave a Lover. Sounds familiar. Yeah, well, the one they played the cup was 50 ways to leave your lover. And I'll listen, I'll listen, oh, hold on the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Stan, you don't need the girls merge, just drop up the key you leave
Starting point is 00:19:09 and sit yourself free. Right? Yeah. Now I had one like, run away, Jose. And tell her you'd like to end the relationship, Philip. But I mean, you can see the pattern. and that was when I had explained she should find a man who really loves her and live with him. Tim. Right? Yeah. Do you know what I mean? He hasn't improved on it? No, has he?
Starting point is 00:19:32 He's probably made it a little bit snappier. I mean my favorite one was just sit her down time I really don't think we should marry Barry you know and he's all he's done he's he's you know put it in a pop format yeah and he sold millions of coffees so I think I'm gonna play him his own game go off your todgia Roger obviously yeah and coffee not Bob coffee dick Rick you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah um slice off your dick Rick. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Um, slice off your willy, Billy. That'd do it. Cut off your John Thomas. John Thomas. Yeah, that works. I don't look. It was like, get off with her mate, Nate. That'd do it. Yeah. French kiss her dad, Brad. Nice, yeah. That might. See someone else. Elsie?
Starting point is 00:20:28 Doesn't work, does it? That really work, but. Telling you a gay ray. Yeah, that might. I wasn't prepared to give Hank any advice. Forget about Hank. This is Ian Canford. It's got four. Your kingdom to dust. Don't like to me, Joveace. Is that who it was that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that.

I' the. the. tho. tho. tho. thoooooooooooo'aa'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'ea'ea'ea' It's got four, your kingdom to dust.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Don't like to me, Javais, is that who it was? Yeah, it's got four. Thank God for that. Yeah. Javais, I'm a little bit concerned because we've had an awful big response to our perfect murder appeal. Yeah, you know, normally we say thingthink it's the type of listener that we attract. Yeah, well it worries me slightly.
Starting point is 00:21:07 It's all we've had two, which are exactly the same suggestion. Darren from... That is suspicious. Well, exactly. Darren from Carr Shelton, if that's a real place, I have no idea. And Sarah in Bickley, you've both come up with the idea of buying a leg, all all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, to, to, to, to, to, to, and. I like it already. Yeah, well it's got lamb involved, it's got me exciting. I think, well I think Darren was pork and Sarah was lamb, you know, that's fair enough. Something in that, isn't it? It's got to be something. Anyway, yeah, you freeze your leg of lamb or pork. you, uh, you club, you know, you use it as a club basically, beat someone to death with it. Yeah. And then of thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin I I I I thin I thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, well, well, well, well, well, th, th, thin, that, th. that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. thr. thr-a. thr-I. thr-I. thr-I. thr-I. thr-I. thr-a. thr-I. that's, that's cheekly, and of course, you know, evidence of the murder weapon has disappeared. I like, well yeah, but then there'd be like bones and stuff and evidence cooking.
Starting point is 00:21:51 What I do is then surgically put it back on the sheep. Right, right. Slightly more ambitious that one. I know, but these days, you know. All right we have another one here. Keeping with the the ice the i i i i i i i i the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect the perfect. the perfect. the perfect. the perfect. the perfect. th. the perfect. the perfect. the perfect the perfect the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the th. I, the the evidence, th. I, th. I, the evidence, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the the. thee. Ev. evidence, the thee.e.e. evidence, the the the the the thee. evidence, evidence, the the evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence,. Keeping with the ice theme, remember my ice idea. Yeah. The perfect murder would in fact be to freeze the feet of the victim, all right, by placing him in water. The ice having a lower gravity than the water would keep the victim's feet at the top and the head below water level. I'm bored.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Would he be in on this then? I assume this person wants to be murdered and therefore would allow you to put his feet in a fridge for 42 minutes. I'm not sure how that works. But anyway, it ends up with him appearing to have dranged, which brilliant. I mean, I admire that. This is a little bit too technical for me. And all this got to show for his cold feet. Particularly ambitious one from Greg inents Park, all right? You suggest to the person that perhaps you sunbathe for a while, okay, they strip off, you say, yeah, shall I just cover
Starting point is 00:22:52 you in sort of suntan lotion? They say fair enough. You wait for them to fall asleep, then you sprinkle crushed biscuits over their body and wait for squirrels to attack and sort of bite and nibble them to death. A little bit ambitious. Well this would be the well-known biscuit and flesh-eatin squirrel of old Regents Park. So I've had the biscuit I may as well keep going. There's a lovely little layer of ombrace a layer there as well. It's like a little human trifle. It's like a little human trifle. It's perfect. It's a little. It's a little. It's a little. It's a little. It's a a little human trifle. It's perfect. It's a three course meal. For any vampire squirrel, that's brilliant that is, yeah. Well actually I still like that.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I still like Greg's suggestions. I'm going to give Greg a pair of these embrace wristbands if he'd like them. Now, he needs to... They say the proof of the killing this proved possible first. Then we can give him a pair of breasts. So if you find a body and some fat squirrels with blood dripping and some crumbs on their coats, then you can have them, go on and give them to him. Yeah, so Greg, you need to come down between 8 and 10 this evening if you want these tickets, bring along a friend if you want and what's his name will attach some wristbands to you they have to be sort of surgically attached to you apparently yeah anyway perhaps give us another ring and and what's his name can explain it all to you but anyway you're
Starting point is 00:24:08 well done Greg we've got four more pairs to give away have way and I've from it's not as complicated as that right it's the first four people to phone up and say I'll come I'll come I'll come I'm they've got to say one one one one one one come along. 01715802, good luck. I missed it. Sorry about little girl. How's on the beach? She was relaxed. Um, well, you've got a joke to tell us, haven't you? Yeah, Jervais, it seems like every week now we get a little gag in.
Starting point is 00:24:43 It's great, isn't it? It's so sort of capital-like. I think it's very pinkish. Yeah. Was it funny on with that? Is that a verb? To be pink? Yeah. If only his name was pank.
Starting point is 00:24:54 If only his name was pank, I'd have a to finish my song off. Right, come on. Jervais, you might have read it before. Go on. Earlier last night's from Sunfellow. Why are London buses red? Go on. You'd be red if you like to come every 10 minutes. What do you think? It's great. It's not bad to it.
Starting point is 00:25:22 No, it's good. It's a simple little joke. I like it. No, it's good. Just a simple little joke. I like it. Hey? Oh. And babies on XFM 104. 9.9.
