Do people still percolate?

Oh. Coffee? Yeah. A friend of mine had a percolator at university. Did it go... That's what I remember about percolators. That's exactly how it sounded. Yeah? I'm pleased with that. Why do you think I brought it up? Because I remember about that. That's exactly how it sounded. Yeah?

I'm pleased with that. Why do you think I brought it up? Because I can do that. I do remember that was quite a thing in sort of maybe an impression show. Maybe they do that, do you think? Oh, maybe. Yeah.

I think of it as when I first started to go into people's houses for dinner rather than just going to waste ground to get drunk Yes and we would have a fondue and then shortly after

and the old percolator, and I hate coffee it's a bad thing in my opinion but but I like the sound voice of controversy yeah the I must have told this before Romney tell it again I had a goblin tease made and pause do you want to tell we'll leave it there a goblin did you know what I don't know if they had them on South Africa or the Isle of Man. Is it one of those things that makes you a cup of tea?

In the morning, you set the alarm. It's not very Novelli family. It's just not. I don't know. I remember my mother got one as a retirement gift. And the old man said, the old man being my dad, said, oh, them's just for lazy people. He says, give it to him. I thought, all right. So anyway, in the morning, if you're going to get up at eight, at about ten to eight, it starts boiling this little

tiny kettle on the, it's all one machine clock or teapot and uh but the trouble is you get up 10 minutes early because it starts going so when I lived on my own and I could do what I like including um including put salt in my navel when I was watching the telly and dip a hard-boiled egg you know just do what you like when you live on your own as anyone else most of the people do what you like when you live on your own. As anyone else, most of the people listening to this, I'm guessing, live on their own. You know what I'm talking about.

So anyway... Just pull up the black tortoise shirt. So I used to keep the guitar by the side of my bed in my bed seat in Harbourn in Birmingham at Ravenhurst Road, if there's anyone around there. In the morning, this thing would start making the... And I would reach for the guitar and play the opening riff to Silver Machine by Hawkwind.

And that was... But it had like an effects thing going in the background. It worked perfectly. I did it every morning for about a year. That might be the most depressing morning routine. Yeah. I didn't have a bed. I just had a mattress on the floor.

It was like that, you know. So no frame for the mattress, but a tease made. Yes, exactly. Get your priorities right. Who needs a bed? What's the point in a bed? A mattress is just exactly the same experience. Although, what about these became very

big do you remember the bed with all inbuilt features was huge with the your clock radio oh yeah oh we never had one of those but they yeah they look very deluxe they were a bit george best house of the future yes they were but. But when you have just woken up or have been pre-woken up by the sound of the boiling, I've never just woken up and exactly at the moment of gaining consciousness thought, God, I wish I had a scalding hot drink. Oh, that's exactly what I do.

Yeah. Obviously after I'd had a cigarette. And put down your guitar they were different they were different times I can remember my mother used to have her cigarettes

and her gold lighter on the bedside table and in the dark she would reach for it terrible thing don't smoke it's bad for you please don't

it's alright to use the teas may I just go into the things we've done do's and don't. It's all right to use the tease. May I just go into the things we've done, do's and don'ts? Coffee, if you must. Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio. Our producer, Faye, because they're our regular producer, has gone to the Liverpool game today, so she's not here. Oh.

I know. Anyway, so Faye had a very good question for a younger person about the Goblin Teas. What about the milk? What about the milk, Frank? Well, what I did, I'd put the milk in the cop the night before and I'd think eight hours open air milk, you'd probably get away with it.

Yeah. And it never tasted too tangy. You never found a mouse in there? No, a cat. Because cats are attracted by milk, then mice stay away, generally. That's true. I'm imagining that the cup was sort of inbuilt, wasn't it? No.

I thought it was part of the infrastructure. No, it was a teapot. It was an actual little China teapot that he got in it. And was there a... There was no cup as part of it? No. You had to provide your own? No, not in the Goblin.

There might have been other models that featured the cup, but not me. Do you know what puts me off the Goblin? Go on. The fact that it's called Goblin for a start. Yeah, exactly. I also... off the goblin go on the fact that it's called goblin for a start yeah exactly um i also i just cannot picture this teapot affair ceramic i'm assuming without it having a lot of brown rings inside well i my one of my rules of life is never look inside a teapot yeah there's no no good work

on the hat never look in the kettle. What's going on in there? I buy into the thing. At the same period I was talking about when people... and had a fondue, the wok became a thing that people bought. And people used to say,

yeah, it's good to have a real dirty, burnt, brown wok. It tastes better like that. And I always thought this is a thing that my dad would have put in the categories for lazy people. But I've always lived by that. Don't go dwelling too far into things that get brown when you're using them for cooking. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I went through the

faff of pouring faff de plesse. Faf? Just because it's South African, I thought I'd bring you up. It's short for Francois. It's the bob to the rubber to Francois

it turns out. That sounds a very posh diminutive. Does that mean I could claim Faf as a short name for Frank? Yes, Faf Skinner. I might do Faf, because you know what? Full disclosure, I consider myself the champion of the nicknamer. You know me, Frank. I'll always give people a nickname. I'll make the champion of the nicknamer. You know me, Frank. I'll always give people a nickname. I'll make the strangest ones up.

And I don't feel I've really managed it for you. Well, I've got a smidson. Do you say smidson or smidson? Smidson. They are the stationers to the rich. And Emily bought me a lovely notebook um faux crocodile the cover and um it says big daddy yeah so that that's been okay that's the nickname that you're most misinterpreted by others well faux crocodile another fantastic south african rugby player

rugby player what would that be short for foe dinkid it would be some mad philipus or something

it's a mad africans name africans yeah but the faff I went through Frank was pouring a big bottle of white

vinegar into my kettle to solve the issues that I saw when I made the mistake of looking into it limescale wise and my girlfriend to solve the issues that I saw when I made the mistake of looking into it,

limescale-wise. And my girlfriend, who I live with, was not as excited as I was by the new, much quieter kettle that resulted. Oh, it was quieter? Much quieter without the limescale. I called her into the room. I said, listen to this. I thought the limescale would be a form of lagging.

It would be like, you know when you used to put egg boxes on a garage wall so you could practice with your school band? I thought it would actually keep the noise in. I think it made the element have to work harder. Okay. But I got short shrift. Did you? Yeah.

I wondered what you wore to sleep in. Got short shrift. Did you? Yeah. I wondered what you wore to sleep in. Have we heard from Le Monde Alfresco? Oh. Ruth Jordan, one of our regulars.

The morning sun shone down upon the eyes of Ruth Jordan. one of our regulars. The morning sun shone down upon the eyes of Ruth Jordan. Go on. Lovely shout out for Harbourn this morning, Frank. It's a lovely place. I went for a swim this morning at Harbourn Baths. Ah. I wonder, did Frank keep up with his swimming lessons after his comic relief challenge a few years ago?

I know he likes to have a few hobbies on the go. Has swimming made the cut? Oh, I love a few hobbies on the go. You do, Frank. You love a few hobbies. Well, I'm still a little bit frightened of water, I'm going to be honest. But I do, I swim on, you know, on the holiday thing. Whereas there was a time where I used to be on the beach minding everyone's clothes

and now I actually do go in the water, but I'm a bit of a Nelly bing bong when it comes to the water, I'll be honest with you. Can I say the person, I think Pierre, you're probably the least frightened of water

you have that energy about you out of anyone I've ever met. I can't imagine anything that Pierre's frightened of. What would frighten Pierre? Nothing. Crocodiles? Nothing. Perhaps Stephen Fry in a head-to-head. Can I rephrase that in the...

Oh, it's live. We're leaving. If there was a bear, I would honestly back Pierre over the bear. What, in a head-to-head IQ test? It's a wrestling match. I don't know. Once they get hogging. It's like reality TV.

Once the hogging starts, you're stuck. And if enough bear stuff comes up in the quiz, I mean, I'm sunk. Yeah, exactly. It's just not my area. it's just not my area listen I um

Boz bought the new Def Leopard album this is my ten year old child bought the new

Def Leopard Leopard album on vinyl this week do you know he got a Tamagotchi

last week he's travelling backwards in time he is I think Abba were correct this week. Do you know he got a Tamagotchi last week? He's travelling backwards in time. I think Abba were correct. Having said that, the Tamagotchi, I'm afraid our thoughts with its family you are joking

no it's gone and the way it's announced is I would say it lacks a little bit of sensitivity it's awful the creature which constitutes the Tamagotchi this sort of beaked

creature suddenly appeared on the screen with wings creature which constitutes the Tamagotchi, this sort of beaked creature, suddenly appeared on the screen with wings, with like angel wings. And Buzz said to me, as he died, I said, no, they wouldn't announce his death like that, but now that is how they announce his death. Yeah, exactly. Crosses for eyes?

I don't think they did crosses for eyes. I hope they didn't do that awful cartoon thing, like when someone jumps off a cliff and they do a... No, they didn't do that. I don't like that. But it was going upwards, I suppose. There was no inference of eternal damnation. No original...

For the Tamagotchi. No original sin for Tamagotchis. Exactly. Frank interested in the afterlife of the Tamagotchi. Well, they brought up the wings. There's no need to wing it. They could have just left it flat out. Frank, why don't you

invent a Tamagotchi and it is the afterlife Tamagotchi? I need an immortal Tamagotchi. But anyway, there was some upset about it. But I want to come back to Def Leppard because I had a little read around Def Leppard because I thought I don't know enough about, I know, you know, Sheffield,

that's about all I know about them. But I found an interesting, what I thought was an interesting little snippet, which I'll share with you after this baby. Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio. You were telling us earlier about a deaf leopard. Yeah, so I had a little read about deaf leopard, and deaf leopard originally were called deaf leopard,

as in D-E-A-F-L-E-O-P-A-R-D, you know, an actual Def Leppard. And then they decided to change it to Def Leppard, D-E-F-L-E-P-P-A-R-D, because they didn't want people to think they were a punk band. And Def was, as in Def Jam recordings? Well, I don't quite... He said the main worry was they didn't want to be confused

with the Flying Lizards, which, A, aren't a punk band, and, B, does Def Leppard... People think, oh, yeah, I know Def Leppard. They did the best things in Life Are Free. It seems an odd confusion, but then, and I like this a lot, that Joe Elliot, who is the singer, said, defended the name, it said in the interview I said, and he said, yeah, he said,

look at racehorses. I don't think I've ever seen one that doesn't have a silly name. I took it easy. What a fabulous defence. A silly name. Yeah. So, yeah, Def Leopard became Def Leopard so that they weren't confused

with the flying lizards which if you've ever heard deaf leopard and the flying lizards is a confusion few would make but there you go a bit of rock history

I thought I'd chuck that in I suppose the simplified spelling is like Led Zeppelin isn't it yes they're sort of yeah they weren't worried

about being confused with Led Zeppelin no just the flying lizards anyway my child loves them so isn't it? Yes. They're sort of... Yeah, they weren't worried about being confused with Led Zeppelin. No. Just the flying lizards. Anyway, my child loves them, so... Is he a big fan? He is.

Oh, that's nice, because it's... How can I put this? I don't think you'd be struggling to get... to go and see them in the way that you might for... say you wanted Ed Sheeran tickets

or something. No, but he's but he likes it heavy. Then watch Desmond. Oh, he does, doesn't he? He does like it. He likes the guitar. Yes. He barely uses the two middle fingers in a gesturing.

That's nearly all the rock horns. Yeah, so that's... Oh, I'll tell you what I had this week. Go on. Bag of chips now that might not sound controversial

but I realised for the last 40 years of my life I sort of didn't feel right having a bag of chips so if I went to

a fish and chips shop I felt I had to have fish and chips Savoy Rale Cod Ro something and chips.

And for the first time, honestly, for four decades, I went into a chip shop. I said, I'll just have a bag of chips, please. And it's better. Yeah. It's better. Don't mix it. I worry they judge me and think I'm too old

to be having just a bag of chips. I agree with you. It's in the same way that I get it when I buy an ice lolly. I lie and say it's for a child sometimes do you yeah i just say i just get these for my knees under my breath oh no yeah at what point do you ask the head of his car it's for a child no i was just saying honestly because i like fabs and i don't think at my age i should be buying fab so i'll honestly say i'll just get these for my niece and i like a cornish movie myself it'd be hard for me to use that excuse because i'm already unwrapping them usually in the shop but honestly the bag of chips it was must have been like that moment that paul simon had when he thought i'm better off on my own i It was like that. Honestly, that's all you need.

I would really advise anyone listening who always has fish to just try a bag of chips on its own. It's the best way. I agree. I don't want to bring the fish industry to its knees, but get your own shop. That's what I say. Frank Skinner. Absolute Radio.

During that little break, Faye, who's all over the show like a rash today because she's got the producer's job, said that she only ever has a bag of chips solo. Never has any of chips solo. Never as any of the accessories. Honestly, I'm thinking it's so the way forward.

Yes. I think my issue is that I think it's more acceptable for Faye than it is for me, for example. And I think that is largely an age thing. I hate to say it, Frank. I just feel if I walk in,

it's a bit like me being the ice lolly, me buying the ice lolly. It just feels a bit like my world is in complete disarray. They'll judge me. If you just have chips. Yeah, it's like, what's happened to this woman? You see, I went in the butchers in Provador

yesterday, and I said, two beef burgers, please. He said, what, the 200 or whatever they call these massive beef burgers that you look like you could, they look a bit like Captain America's shield. I said, no, just the small ones, OK? So that was the first moment of I'd let him down. Yeah. And then he said, you know this one is the killer.

Anything else? Oh. No. Oh, okay. And you might as well have said, so you've come in here for two of the smallest beef burgers and that's it.

You see, I couldn't have made that purchase. And this is the difference between us. That's your superpower. You don't care what the butcher in Provador thinks of you. Well, the plus about just getting a bag of chips, You see, I couldn't have made that purchase. And this is the difference between us. That's your superpower. You don't care what the butcher in Provador thinks of you. Well, the plus about just getting a bag of chips is chips, they are not usually the headline. They're the subheading.

Fish and chips. I'll have a sausage and chips. Right? It's always and chips. So if you start and you say, I'll have a bag of chips, Right? It's always and chips. So if you start and you say I'll have a bag of chips, they know nothing else is coming. That's true. I'll have a bag of chips. I'll stick a fish in there as well. No one's ever said that.

Ever. No. So once you give them top billing they just accept that they're only going to I mean a bag of chips now is about certainly the shop I own is about three pound eights. I just feel it's a bit no more than three schoolchildren at a time. Two.

Demographic. Unless you're going in a very big paper shop. Yeah, it's usually two. Is that right? Yeah, it's a sort of Noah door policy. Two by two, they go in. They always break the rule, though. Do they?

Oh, I've seen plenty of them. It always puzzled me, then, because I see those signs and I think two children can steal just as many sweets, surely. It's essentially... Why don't they just... What I don't like is that...

I don't like the euphemism of it. Just say, we think you steal. You appear to be the demographic that thieve the most. Yes. So we don't, I'm afraid we can't, because they don't explain it. You need to give a reason for it. It should be one school child based on the idea that if you were on your own, would you have the confidence to steal, whereas you'd be egged on by your friend.

I mean, there's generally another school child with the getaway skateboard waiting on the pavement. A lookout. Yeah, exactly. I don't know how much, like, case in the joint and that they do to go in and get a bag of refreshers for nothing. Just with a little camera in their glasses filming the... I stole a...

Why did they steal? I stole a Kinks album, I remember. And the way I stole this is when everything was on vinyl is I hung my coat over the vinyl and carried it out under my arm as if I had some big square coat hanger under the thing. Now, that surely looked strange but it worked. Did you have an accomplice?

I think I had someone with me but yes, I did have someone with me. That's that bit of security. And we once did a runner, I remember, at Pizza Hot, me and a friend. I thought you were talking about this. Last week?

He once did a runner at Pizza Hot. Can I say hot, me and a friend. I don't know why you're talking about this. Last week? It's a garden. Can I say absolute radio, we disapprove of crime in all its manifestations. But we got halfway down the road running full blast and he said left me satchel. So we had to go back.

It's actually had one of those little, you know the satchel window that has your name and address on it? I mean, it couldn't have been any more incriminating. Like, he wanted to be. So we had to go back, and the man said, ha-ha, you're fast, but we're faster.

And I said, well, no, but you didn't actually catch us. So then I thought, let's not argue this out. Bit of a get, even then. So we just paid and went. So hold on to your satchel if you're doing a runner. That's my advice. This is Frank Skinner. This is Absolute Radio.

This is Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio with Emily Dean and Pierre Novelli. You can text the show on 81215, follow the show on Twitter and Instagram at frankontheradio, email the show via frank at absoluteradio.co.uk. We're talking about Def Leppard on Absolute Radio this morning. And, do you know, I think I only... There's only... There's one song that people always think of.

I bet we all think of it. I say Def Leppard, you say? Let's call the whole thing off. I don't know. I think I can name a Def Leppard track. Oh, I would say Pour Some Sugar On Me. Yes. Oh, yes.

Well, that's actually played in our house quite a lot. I should have got that. It is a bit of a banger, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know where this has come from. What does it mean, pour some sugar on me?

Yeah. In the name of love. Isn't that what they say? Oh, I don't like it. Pour some sugar on me I think it might be a bit funny. I don't want to think about it. It sounds like a sort of

rock version of a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down. But I don't know where that would be in a bedroom context. I think it's a bit funny. I don't like it. 32 be in a bedroom context. I think it's a bit funny. I don't like it.

327. Hi, Frank. What I love is they put this in quotes. Okay. Hi, Frank. All race sources having funny names. Oh, yes. I think it was silly, wasn't it, that Joe Elliott described it as?

Yeah, I think it was, yeah. They're only allowed a total of 16 letters spaces in their names for commentary purposes therefore many words are spelt in a shortened way and spaces are often missed out between words was it the same with slide slide song titles fell into the same category also because names can only be used once the horsey name of course people have to get equity people yeah people have to get that quite a quite a quite a quite a bit chivalry all over again people have to get creative and have a new and original name that has never been registered for a racehorse before that's from 327 the original there was an infamous racehorse named potoo and the sort of

urban myth or you know maybe it was true maybe it wasn't legend was that the racehorse owner had said to the sort of stable boy go and register this horse its name is pot eight o's and had sort of stable boy, go and register this horse. Its name is Pot-8-O's, and had sort of really spelled it out, Pot-8-O's. Okay. And so it was Pot followed by 8-O's. Pot-2. Pot-2. I hope that's correct. Frank and I, sorry, Frank.

The great thing I love about racehorses is the fact that their birthdays is all on the same day. Do you know this? What do you mean? They all get, January the 1st is their birthday, regardless of when they were born in the year. What is that? So they're just reeling from New Year's Eve,

this massive giant equine birthday party, crossing the whole, like the, do you remember the sort of was it the the night chorus or something in 101 dalmatians when you hear the dogs barking right across the nation it's like that with the horses party time if i'm wrong about that let me know but i believe all racehorses their birthday is january the first is right? Frank and I have spoken on this show before, Pio, about how the horses aren't celebrities like they used to be. That's true. They used to be part of that celebrity.

They might get blankety-blank booking. Yeah. Well, I did a corporate with Red Rum. Sure. Yeah. So, yeah. Alderneyty, huge. Yeah.

Shergar, obviously. Oh, we don't talk. that was a bit sad was it nijinsky i mean there was there was something there was some horse race horses that were so famous they transcended the sports celebrities not anymore they transcended their species yeah um i suppose they did in a way but they um but now, but now that hasn't happened anymore. There's no celebrity horses nowadays. What a shame. Is there any horse? And we're going to extend this. Who is the last celebrity horse?

Not just racehorses, but yeah, who is the recurrent celebrity horse? Let us know who that is. I can't think of one off the top of my head, I must say. You wanted celebrity horses. We've got them, haven't we? Oh, OK. We do. I will say some of the tweets we've got

are from people who clearly just know about horses. So they're sort of saying these names with a level of confidence that I think they haven't understood what we're saying. I went to Royal Ascot this year and I met some people who like really super knew about horses. So, yeah, that's a different world. The only answer so far that I would like to accept and put forward from Howard Grater, which is a good name. Not Howard Minor, his younger brother. But BoJack Horseman.

Oh, no, fair enough. Fictional animated, but nevertheless. Listen, fictional, I'm going to raise your BoJack. Okay. You haven't done that for years. Carry on. I don't know if I can. You can.

Okay, I can. Paul Corrie would like to submit War Horse. Oh, well, there's a few in War Horse. But, yeah, so far they've been drawn or made of wood. This is a bad time for horse flesh. Yes, well. I mean, Iona Fass, one of our regulars. Yeah, I own a faz, but I only use it for my Tommy Cooper tribute show.

Carry on. She seems to be suggesting that she submitted a link to a news item headlined The Last Surviving Black Beauty Horse Has Passed Away. Oh, of the TV series. submitted a link to um a news item the headline the last surviving black beauty horse has passed away oh of the tv series it happened on 2020 and the headline said it is with a heavy heart that we must report that blindage billy the last remaining horse to play black beauty has passed away they've all got a heavy heart aren't they horses i remember i went to that what was that exhibition by something like Fritz van murderer he was called

he had all those dead bodies I'm going to throw a name into the ring it was Heinz Professor can you look him up I had my photo of my arm around him

couldn't get too close because of the rim of his black hat. How would you describe what his job was to be able to... Was he an autopsy man? I think he bought dead bodies and then he treated them so they could be exhibited as artwork. Yes, I've Googled it and I've accidentally come up with the name of... You know those non-name brand Halloween costumes? Yeah, right.

They can't call it Superman because they'll get sued. So they go like, powerful flying man or whatever. I just Googled German autopsy celebrity. It's come right up. Black hat? Gunther von Hagens. Anyway, von Hagens, German autopsy celebrity. The GAC, as we call him on this show,

in his exhibition, which was called something like Dead Real. What was the Halloween version of it? Was it called Dead Real? His show? Yeah. Anyway, there was a man holding on a horse and I think the horse was holding a man's heart and the man was holding a horse's heart.

And the horse's heart did look, as you say, I said this with a heavy heart, it's a big machine. It was bigger than my goblin tees, mate. That's how I measure my animal awful. This news just in. Go on. I've got a new runner and rider here.

Sean Ryder, in sheep's clothing, has submitted Emma, Queen Elizabeth's pony, who has stood at the roadside at Windsor. I wouldn't have known. I wouldn't have known. I mean, I was really disappointed. I thought that was going to land. I thought you were both going to go, yeah, oh my God, that's amazing. Well done for

reading that. I don't remember Emma. And you know what? I feel really deflated now. You can lead Emma out of the ring. She doesn't qualify. You can actually, you can go via that pelican crossing that has the green horse. Come on, you can go via that pelican crossing that has the green horse. Come on,

you know those ones. Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio. I told you the story about Elton John told me about when he went to visit Brian Wilson

at his house in America. Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys guy. And Brian Wilson kept saying to him me about when he went to visit brian wilson at his house in america brian wilson the beach boys guy and brian wilson kept saying to him dinner's going to be a bit late be about nine o'clock or something i hope you don't mind hope you don't mind hope you do and then he said it yeah come in here it's uh the music system isn't as good as it is in the other room hope you don't mind he couldn't resist just doing that gag

my kind of guy were you aware that when Frank had dinner once with Eric Clapton and he did a similar thing didn't you that was accidental I'm with Eric Clapton

and I'm walking back from the toilet in the restaurant and I'm going and he said don't do that and I didn't know I was doing it and it's a regular thing I get if I'm with someone

and they're associated with a piece of music I've done it before I just start doing the tune. Yeah, what's on your mind? I don't like Eric Clapton saying, don't do that. Poor Eric. I think it's fair, because I'm doing it a bit loud, and I'm what everyone's looking at. No, I'm saying I don't like that he had to do that.

No, no. Poor man. Frank, what do you think of this? 878, hi, Frank and team. Really celeb horses. Might be one of my favourite subject lines ever. Yeah. What about the Lloyd's TSB horse

which gallops along the beach in the adverts? I know a bit like the Scottish Widows, the horse actor gets rotated every few years. Yeah, the skippies. What do you feel? I mean, the trouble is, I wouldn't recognise, I would never be walking down the street and say, oh look, it's the Lloyd's PSV horse.

No, exactly. Whereas? Whereas? Whereas what? If I saw Mr. Ed? Yeah, Bojack Horseman would recognise. Bojack Horseman, yeah. But I wouldn't recognise Emma, the Queen's pony

no it's a special breed of I don't know if you have to recognise them I mean I wouldn't

recognise Red Rom if there was a policeman that had ridden it down the road I recognise it because it had like a red silk

thing that said Red Rom and it was with the Red Rom sort of entourage here's a question though would horsey people would they be able to distinguish in a way that we're unable to well i have often wondered this about if i work in the the photo department of the racing post and if you read the racing post to one of those but you get a picture and they'll say it is Silent Archer and a

picture of a horse, just head and shoulders of the horse. And they say to me oh is that photo room? Yeah, yeah, Steve in photos. Have you got a photo of Silent Archer? What colour is it? Brown? Yeah.

We've got a photo of that. Are we actually seeing Silent Arch? Are we seeing a brown horse? Yeah. Surely. If there's anyone listening from the photo desk of Racing Post, give us a winnie. Just give us a winnie.

Give us a Winnie. Just give us a Winnie. Oh, the 2000 Winnies, that famous horse race. Oh, God. Frank Skinner. Frank Skinner. Absolute Radio. Frank, you know where I'd like to go?

Go on. I'd like to take a little stroll down what I call previously on this show oh yeah yes one thing that we know why we don't do enough office I like it when people texting about stuff that was talked about the the way the week before because then you get all your podcast listeners as well as your live listeners which which is a good, you know... I always think that if we put together the people who listen to this show, we'd have, like, a sort of brain tank,

a think tank that could change the world. Yeah, I'd agree with that. I don't think we have a jingle that signifies us going into the past. I'll come out with that. I mean, we've got this one. Yes, but could you beat P.A. Novelli in a fight? The gummy bear is the celebrity bear of the moment.

What did you say? Who were celebrity bears of the past? If you could ever think about that. Yogi. Lovely. Gentle Ben. Yeah, Gentle Ben. Remember Gentle Ben? I bet he wasn't that gentle. He was in the TV show but he's probably highly sedated. I was going to say the medication.

A gummy bear is a man who looks like me with no teeth. Yeah, exactly. Gummy bear, very popular for all sorts of reasons. Also, they're doing a bunch of, the news is on a television screen in the studio and as you hit the gummy bear track, it was showing footage of Winston Churchill on VE Day. And it was a very surreal combination.

He's just a gummy bear. Sums up modern life in so many ways. Okay, I'm going to go to previously. Just a quick question I'd also like you to think about. Did bears wear tutus in the cruel days of circuses? Well, bear baiting, of course, was predated, all that. That was a cruel thing. What's that?

That was when they'd have a bear chained up and people would taunt it. Oh, that's awful. Yeah, horrible. Because my great-grandfather had a wrestling match with a bear. He was arrested for it. Really? Did you know that? No.

It's going to be in Wales. He did, hasn't he? My dad used to tell a story that one of our relatives, who was called Tom Shanks, who I think lived in Newcastle. I don't know where this is going. Who lived in Newcastle, picked up a horse and carried it around the town square like a scarf, around his neck, his neck like a scarf.

That would have been a celebrity horse if he'd done it on a reality TV show. Absolutely. I hope he didn't tie it in a knot the modern way at the front. No, no, I think he wore it very much like, what was he called? Who had the giant scarf? Or Doctor Who.

Lenny Kravitz. Lenny Kravitz. I should have got it because it sounds a bit like cravats, which that's the clue. So we have, oh, I was going to do a bit of previously. Yes. And now the fez has been waved. What are you thinking?

In case you're new to the show there is affairs which the producer holds up which means shut up basically yeah and we have to do things like um adverts and stuff like that i actually quite like the adverts on commercial radio now there's a bit of an anti thing it makes me me feel like, well, basically like I'm not on the BBC, which is, I like. Frank Skinner. Frank Skinner. Absolute radio. Absolute radio.

Shall we go down previously cul-de-sac? Okay, let's hope it's not a cul-de-sac. I'm sure it's not. cul-de-sac okay let's hope it's not a cul-de-sac i'm sure it's not i was thinking of an alternative to lane or road and then i realized i'd hit upon something with rather negative connotations if only we could play some muse at this stage it would have been perfect but i don't i don't have the sort of back catalogue at my fingertips in that fashion so we, we were talking, was this last week, Bill? Maybe it was the week before. They've called it,

we've called the subject line here mutual acknowledgement, which is that sense of seeing other drivers. It was, what happened was I went to Comic-Con and I saw two Moon, well, three Moon Knights, in fact, there, which is a character

who's currently got a show on Disney+, a comic book character. And when one passed the other, there was just a slight nod of, all right, we know. Professional courtesy. Exactly. And I was saying, when I used to drive, I used to drive the old, sort of uh volkswagen beetle and if you passed another beetle driver you'd get the blast of the horn maybe the a little wave so we had a few people

the thing that the pinnacle of that day was the guy said that me and my wife on the stairs was his example. Yes, nodding as they pass. We've got some others here. We've got Richard Tilb. I acknowledge other Royal Mail drivers. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, because we were talking about bus drivers do it and stuff. Yeah. Nicky Marlia.

Other people on skates. Unless we're in a roller skating venue, otherwise that would be weird. Okay, so if you're at something like Regent's Park... You see these skaters, don't you? I see them often on the roads around London. It's a very fashionable way to get around now. Do they get around on the roads?

Oh, yes, I've seen the skaters. Roller skaters, though, or skateboarders? No, I'm talking about... What are they called, those skates? They use them in New York a lot, don't they? The scooters? No, skates, roller skates skates? They use them in New York a lot, don't they? The scooters? No, skates, roller skates. Really?

Yeah. You see them just on the roads? Yes. I've never seen that. Are they serving? Do they carry a tray with some sort of milkshake, honey? The producer's nodding. I've only ever seen them.

No, that's because she's asleep. This is a very kind of Brooklyn way to get around, is what I call it. No, I'm thinking American graffiti. Yes. That's what I'm thinking. No, it's more sort of your... Multimulti-chicks. It's your people who go to the gym a lot and...

Okay. Yeah. I've only ever seen them congregate as a sort of park-bound flock. No. For training purposes. They use it as a form of speedy transport. I'm going to get anyone who does use these skates they might have a different name so if you could let us know we also have there used

to be through central london a sort of a party where someone at the front would have an enormous what we used to call the ghetto blaster and And people would all be on skates going along and they'd be having a sort of a mobile disco as twir. Are you talking about... Yes, I saw those, but everyone is powering it, aren't they? You're all part of a fabulous mobile community of dance and music. Yes. Sort of International Skate Day or something.

No, no, this would be a weekly thing. Oh, really? I'd see it going through Lambeth. Griff. I mean, obviously I was up on the 11th floor watching the cruisers below, as it were, but I wasn't part of it because I can't skate. Griff has just told us.

Oh, yeah. They're called inline skates. Yeah. Inline. Yeah. Inline? Yeah. And it's skates used as, you know, a form of transport. Yeah, it makes more sense than the... They're slightly more aerodynamic, these inline skates.

Okay. How long before we get the equivalent of Boris skates, where you just put a couple of quid in and you can use them for the day. Oh, but the sizes. Oh, yeah, the sizes. Imagine they're like, yeah, you might be in that situation where I took my son to get him some Crocs

and the woman said the terrible thing that he's in between Crocs at the moment. You don't want to think. Too big for one and not big enough for the next. I mean, what if you fake, how would you get home? Like Steve Irwin

in between Crocs. Exactly. Let's be fair, a bit like you as well. Or Matt Hancock. A bit like Pierre. Yeah. Matt Hancock

was in between Crocs this weekend. Oh yeah. Oh. Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio. This is Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio with is Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio with Emily Dean

and Pierre Novelli text the show on 8 12 15 follow the show on Twitter and Instagram at Frank on the Radio email the show via frank

at absoluteradio.co.uk Yeah We were talking we were in the previously Yeah section of the show and we were discussing the previously section of the show and we were discussing the mutual acknowledgement

that drivers give to one another. Or skaters, apparently. Or inline skaters. We now know they're called inline skaters. Is that because they skate in single file at times? Well, I've showed the boys... Sorry, it was a bit 90s, wasn't it? But I've showed the boys pictures of the inline skates. Yeah.

And they're different, aren't they, to the traditional roller skates? Because when I... Well, it's like an ice skate made of wheels. Four wheels, though. Yeah, but that's why they're in line, isn't it? Of course, because the wheels are in line rather than each of the corners. I've only just worked that out.

Is that not a roller blade? No. Is that not a term we throw around anymore? No, because the roller blade seems... It's different. It's less aerodynamic, the wheel. Did you have this thing, Frank? You're probably too young, Pierre.

But when I was growing up... I hope this isn't going to be chlamydia. It's going to be a really awkward conversation. What on earth is wrong with you? I'm sorry, did you have this thing, Frank? What is wrong with you? I was about to talk about... That's what the doctor said.

I don't want to know what the doctor said to you. The roller skate... Yes. Do you remember there was a slight status thing? Some kids had the roller skate Yes Do you remember there was a slight status thing Some kids had the roller skate Which just They were exposed And they were just a red

They were tied up at the front Do you remember those? Oh yes It was essentially just Yeah laces You used to get laces on them Unusual They were just

They were so exposed It was just a little bit It was a metal tray, essentially. Then there was red. And then some kids got the boot, the white leather boot. Yeah, I was pre-boot, I think. Did you have the exposed? I never could do it, though.

I couldn't ride a bike. I couldn't swim. I had no learnt skills at all as a child. Hopeless. That's a shame. Okay, so Kieran Devaney. Hold on. I have to end that.

Yeah. He's the loneliest man in the world. I guess. Kieran Devaney. Yeah. This is people he acknowledges. People with beards so long and full

that they're just outside the boundaries of a normal socially coherent beard. Yes, okay. Into Rasputin territory. Where would you place Pierre's beard? I don't think he'd get the nod.

I think that's a sort of control beard. Another month and I'll be socially incoherent, but for now. I'll tell you what's great about your beard, and it fits with your general masculinity, but it's dense. Absolutely dense. It's so dense. It's like Brutusk from Popeye.

Just drawn. Not drawn with any sort of texturing. Well, Bluto is originally Bluto and then became Brutus. Really? That's what happened with Popeye. I don't know why. Hang on, was he the character we talked about that we didn't know what he was?

No, no, that was Pete from Disney. Turned out to be a cat and all things. No, but he was a similar bullying type figure. And he had... They didn't bother with any texture in his beard. They just drew it in block, and that's what yours looks like. It's got the iron filings, get him. It's got that.

Don't you think, Frank? I think it's denser than that. It looks like it came as one. Denser than the iron filings, you say? You know when you buy a cheap Halloween beard? It's got solid back. Yeah, just solid. Exactly. I'm so sorry, Chair.

So, Fank has just told you your beard looks like a cheap Halloween costume. No, I complimented on his debt. When I grow a beard, there's big holes. I only grew a beard because I was too drunk to shave. I didn't think it would look good on me because it's too wispy in places.

Have you ever seen Frank in a beard? On my actual neck, my neck beard is dense. It's unfair. What it looks is like I'm wearing a make-up beard and I've got wet and it's all just draped to the bottom of my throat. Your beard is more sort of slightly chaotic Open University professor. It's also ginger. Is it? Have you seen that?

I'll show you a picture of it, Pierre, in the break. Yes, please. Yeah, that's some of you to look forward to. Frank's ex-beard. Would it be my ex-beard? Didn't David Copperfield have an ex-beard? I don't know. I'll have to see if we can actually check that out.

Friendskinner on Absolute Radio. Have you boys been watching The Jungle, by the way? Yeah. I have been watching it. I'm all over it. I've just seen the social media clips. Have you seen, well, just there is Magic Mike. Are you familiar with his work?

That's what Mike Tindall is being called. Yes. Because, what did you make of him? He was Vanilla Mike at one point. I'll tell you something I liked about Mike Tindall. I like his story. And in fact, maybe we could make this a text in this morning, in our remaining hour.

He told the story of something bad that happened to him that turned out to be something brilliant. And I love those stories. So he's in the World Cup semi-final. He's a rugby guy. And he gets dropped for Cup semi-final. He's a rugby guy. And he gets dropped for the semi-final, which you imagine would be, like, terrible. So he goes out and he meets his future wife

and the great love of his life. And he would not have been out in a pub if he hadn't been dropped from the team. And I like that story. Yeah. I also like that you can just meet the royal family in a pub if he hadn't been dropped from the team. And I like that story. I also like that you can just meet the royal family in a pub. In Australia. His quote about that

on their first date was, we discovered we both quite liked getting smashed. Yes. Very rugby person. What did you make of his... Because he did a bit of singing. Firstly, he did Vanilla Ice, didn't he? I don't even need to specifically name the track,

because let's be honest, there is only one. And then he got a bit excited and he did another one. I think that was where the mistake was. So he rapped. Now, white middle-aged man raps if you see that on paper you'd think well that's going to be excruciating as it was it was so fabulously surprising that um a bloke is married to princess anne's daughter and and is a rugby guy with one of those really thick necks that they have

knew all these rap lyrics and didn't do them... He didn't do the hands or any of that stuff. He just rattled them off as if he loved them. The hands, Emma. It reminds me, there's a guy in, do you know Ghost Dog Way of the Samurai? Do you know that film?

There's a gangster guy in that who constantly raps. I don't know why I brought it up, but it was a beautiful, it was beautiful. It made me think. I don't know why you brought up Ghost Dog Way of the Samurai. No, it's one of my favourite films of all time. Really? Yeah, it's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

And it's on the back of that film that I tried to live my life. So, again, I lived alone at the time. I tried to live my life by the way of the samurai, that book. Oh, yes. Which includes things like you should make every decision in the space of seven breaths. What do you think of that Pierre? That was when I bought that tan leather jacket.

That we put up for judgement a couple of weeks ago. Life on Mars. Seven breaths, it doesn't guarantee good decisions but it does save time. No, but this is the samurai point. the good decision thing is a slight is a misleading thing it's about commitment we're certainly committed to that tan leather jacket exactly so you make the decision and then you stick you never question

it and that that's how to make a decision whether it it was good or bad. It's a trust approach. It doesn't always work. But whether it was, yeah. Oh, man. Thank God I didn't have that trossonomics tattoo. Seven breaths well spent. Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio. So I'll tell you what the Mike Tindall thing reminded me of.

Do you know what this ring any bells with you? Out of the strong came forth sweetness. It used to be on the Loyal's golden syrup tin. Oh, was it the lion with the bees? Yeah, because Samson was it, who ripped a lion apart in a fight and then he went

past it a couple of days later and bees were nesting in it. Had made a hive. And then he went off and asked it as a riddle, when do you get I hate riddles. Out of the strong came forth sweetness. Can you work out

what that is? And funnily enough, they couldn't work out that a bee had built a hive in a lion that he'd ripped in half two days before. Incredibly unfair. Yeah, you'd think they'd have got that. Stunningly unfair. And in the Fanny Farmer cookbook,

you familiar with that? No, I don't like it. Okay. It's an 1896 cookbook and it mixed off with that, with that same golden syrup. Okay, I won't be buying it. I don't like it. Oh, okay.

Don't like Fanny Farmer? I don't like it She's famous A very unfair riddle That's verging on approaching someone and saying to them Do an impression of my uncle It is It's a hard riddle

Are any riddles fair? They're so unfair Is that a riddle? Yeah My first I like my first is in fish but not in boat i hate my first is in anything i don't care about your first just tell me the thing why do you have to do your first and your second all right come on please no riddles that's why we don't do riddles on this show i don't like riddles i enjoy the level of pizzazz some people put into the the bit at the end of a riddle where they go What am I?

Who am I? Ron Paul Stiltskin was the one. What was Ron Paul Stiltskin's one, Frank? What's My Name? It wasn't the best riddle. It's essentially some rapper used by Muhammad Ali in the Ernie Terrell

And used by every rapper subsequently. Yeah, What's my name? Okay. So I'll tell you who I love. Guess who I love on the Jungle Show. Matt Hancock. Jill Scott. I love Jill Scott. Do you know Jill Scott, Pierre? She was a

retired lioness. Jill Scott, Pierre, sounds very jazz musician. Yeah, she used to stay away from Samson. She did a thing where she had to walk the plank on the top of a skyscraper, step out, and then she had to hold on for a bit and then just let go and just drop. She's on a harness, but even so.

And she walked out the plank like she was walking back to the hockey having taken three darts out the board i just strolled to the end of the place amazing so she's hanging there with uh charlene white who's also hanging there and like a classic footballer, she's saying, no, just steer focused. You can do this. You've got this. And she's like coaching the other woman, not thinking. Oh, man, I love her. You know when they get to the hotel and they do it to be cruel, it's almost they go to a sort of lavish five-star Versace-type hotel just to say, here's what you could have won.

And then they whisk them away and it's all horrible but you know that initial the entrance point to the hotel they gave chris moyle some food this sort of banquet and he was going oh i don't know what any of this food is what even is this and the lady was going it's mango yeah i mean it was like i looked at it and it was grapes and mango and cheese. And he was going, I don't know what this weird stuff is. Yeah, I think he was probably, he was so set up for a bush tucker trial that when he just got prawns and cheese and grapes, he was going,

oh, what's this weird stuff? No, no, we're not doing it yet. This is just like ordinary food. What, I've never seen anything like it. Pointing at the grapes. What kind of eggs are these? Some awful spider egg. I mean, there was a slight element of I'm from Leeds,

so I've never seen mango before. Yeah, he said he doesn't eat fruit and he only... Yeah, but he must have been around a few celebrity green rooms. Surely. Yeah. I would have thought so. Ah, yes. And what was he described as?

The greatest exponent of radio presenting of his generation? Yeah, that's what he said. Okay. Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio. Yes, so here's a question for you. Quiz question. What are the three most important things in Jill Scott's life? Oh.

Oh, did she say? This is what she has said. Sport. Well, more specifically. Rugby. Football. No, football. Yeah.

Football. Come on, you can guess the other one. Also begins with F. What everyone says. Friends. Friends. Franking. Franking.

Very pro-Franking. Family. It'll be family. Family, yeah. I wish you'd said Franking. Franking. Oh, man. I thought you said Franking.

I love to do a big pile of post. I've got a little franking stump. Sit at home. I think she said football, family, and what if she said faith? That would be your best friend. No, it's not another F. Oh, what is it?

It's a C. Oh. Cooking. No. We've mentioned it earlier. Crustaceans. Cluedo. No. Cuddling. No. We've mentioned it earlier. Crustaceans. Cluedo. No.

Cuddling. Coffee. Oh, come on. Jill. Oh, no. I think it was slightly loaded because Jill, it turns out, owns a coffee shop with her partner. I see.

Called? You'd never get it in a million years. Jill's Coffee. No. Great Scott. It's called, that would have been good. That would have been good.

It's called Box to Box Coffee because she was a sort of box to box midfielder. Oh, right. I bet you can improve on that, you two, between. You have a little thing for next week because Frank came up with chivalry, as you may know, so given that, the bar is high.

Why don't we have a text in, like homework, and then we'll read them out next week. What should Jill Scott, the former lioness, and also has got more caps for England than any other footballer, male or female. What I like... It's got 161 caps. Bloody hell.

Exactly. I don't think you can say that on The Breakfast Show. Never mind. My apologies. Frank, did you see... I was too shocked by her record. Did you see Matt Hancock? Yeah, Matt Hancock has spoiled it a bit for me.

Has he? Why? Well, because I was really enjoying getting to know, like, Jill Scott, Mike Tindall. Likeable people. Scarlett, Douglas, yeah. Boy George. Boy George, well, I mean, he's, you know, he's always going to be, yeah. But now it seems

to be the Matt Hancock show if he's not on screen it's people talking about Matt Hancock and you know is he that if this had been

billed as we're going to have a documentary every night there's going to be an hour and a quarter documentary about

Matt Hancock you probably wouldn't have tuned in what I like though was if ever you wanted to see demonstrated politicians' inability to be straight or give a clear, direct answer was when Sean Walsh was describing his tattoo to him. And he said, oh, what's that? And Sean Walsh said, oh, it's Blink-182.

He said something to the band. He said, do you know Blink-182? And Matt Hancock said, not really. Not really, yeah. He said something to the band. He said, do you know Blink-182? And Matt Hancock said, er, not really. Not really, yeah. It's a yes or no. And it is. I remember a bloke, someone said, oh, have you ever walked through a

pine forest early in the morning? And this guy said, er, not really. And I thought, well, hold on, what have you done then? You've walked through a forest with no pines. You've walked around the perimeter of a pine forest. Have you crawled through a pine forest?

Was it early evening? Yeah, pine forest about 6 p.m. Which of these have you not ticked? Which box are you ticking to justify you're not really? You've never been anywhere near a pine forest. Get out! Everyone switched off now that we're finished. Yeah, so it was a terrible not really.

Well, although I'm just going to quickly throw another not really in the ring, Frank. Remember when I sat next to the High Commissioner for Sri Lanka on the plane and I offered him a cashew nut and I said, do you like cashew nuts? And he said, not really. No. And and I said, do you like cashew nuts? And he said, not really. No. And then I said, YOLO.

And he said, actually, in our part of the world, we believe in reincarnation. He didn't actually say that. He did. That's fantastic. Wow. Did we mention the fact that he was a Basset hound? This is Frank Skinner. This is Absolute Radio.

We've got, we've had in from 722, Hercules the Wrestling Bear from the 70s and 80s. Oh, yes. Even has his own Wikipedia page. Yes, he was a celebrity bear. He used to do a toilet roll advert. And I once went to the Teddy Bear's picnic in um cannon hill park in birmingham and uh they had he was wrestling a man and uh there was a massive dog fight went off there was

a german shepherd and some other big dog having a really horrible fight and literally a crowd gathered around these two dogs fighting and behind us was a man wrestling a bear which no one was watching. That's a brutal heckle. I'd say context is everything in live sport.

So yeah, that was that finished that off. So yeah yeah i've seen him live pretty over my it's in my rearview mirror but there he was i'm just looking at some of the we've already had some of the listeners have been very um they've been prompt haven't they with their homework oh okay so they've got some good things that turn into bad things that turn into good things that turn into... Bad things that turn into good things. No, they've got... What should... Oh, sorry. Jill Scott's coffee shop, of course.

What should Jill name her Manchester coffee shop? Yes. What do you think of these, Pierre? Some of them are pretty good. They're no chivalry. No. No. Scott and Bothered.

Scott and Bothered. If only her partner was called, like, Sue Bothered. Scott and Bothered. If only her partner was called, like, Sue Bothered, that would have been perfect, wouldn't it? But I don't think it is. Yorkshire Mouth says... That's not the name for the corner. Oh, that's not the name. OK. Oh, that would also work.

Is that part of the word? It's Prey-a-Manger. Prey. I presume... Prey? I don't quite understand Prey. I presume... Prey? I don't quite understand prey. Is it a predator thing? Is it because they're lioness?

Oh. What about grounds for appeal? That's nice, but is she a famous criminal? No. But she must appeal referees' decisions. Oh, right, of course. One of the other things I love about Jill Scott is that she's had to wrap up some paper bags in the jungle

to kick them around because she can't not kick things about. She's doing a lot of keepy-uppies, which I love. Oh, I love it. She's so much better at keepy-uppy than the men. Matt Hancock, he loves Ed Sheeran as well. Oh, Matt Hancock. He said he liked Ed Sheeran, and he said, and the thing is, I love him, and I'm from Suffolk as well.

Yeah, I think that can happen. But I like you choosing. I like you getting into music based on where they're from. I mean, if that was the case with you... I would only listen to heavy metal. Why are there so many heavy metal people from your area? Well, the theory is that it sounds very much

like working in heavy industry. Yeah. And so when people created music, they basically took that sound because I mean, I worked in heavy industry and everyone I knew was deaf and had three fingers. I mean, that's what heavy industry and everyone I knew was deaf and had three fingers.

I mean, that's what it was like. And so if you're going to do music... In fact, Tony Iommi, who's the guitarist with Black Sabbath, he lost a couple of fingers in the factory and he wears, like, a couple of thimbles that he plays with. I think in the end he had some plastic finger ends made. It's a different world to the sophisticated South. It's not none of your Coldplay, but is it Goldsmiths College?

Yes. I remember one of the management was designated health and safety and he came in with all these earplugs and hard hats. And at the end, about two days, they were all piled in a corner the core of the factory people had tried them not keen that was that okay i think we're done aren't we are we okay yeah i think we're done and thanks so much to listening for listening multiple choice grammar for listening to us you know what if the good lord spares us and the creeks don't rise

we'll be back again this time next week now get out
