1:44
Didn't have to rhyme anymore. Well not
1:48

1:50
I think we're struggling now. Don't
1:53
be rude to Alexandra. I think that was the best one
1:55
of our nages that's what I'm saying. I think we've been
1:57
struggling for a while because you have to make them rhyme.
1:59
We've been struggling for six and a half years, love. I
2:01
know. We peaked
2:03
with I'm More Bucky and Palace, You're
2:06
More Crystal Palace. I think we were in Belfast
2:08
last night, and I think we struggled with I'm
2:10
More Belfast, You're More Bellend. Yeah. Well,
2:12
I didn't hear any contributions from you. I
2:15
do jolly joke of the week. I do

2:39
mind doing most of the work, but just your
2:42
bits, I ask. Let's just bring a
2:44
bit more to the table. We're
2:47
currently recording in Dublin. We've
2:50
been in Dublin. I'm not gonna lie, I'm four Guinness Deep. We're
2:53
about to go on stage in Dublin. Indeed.
2:57
Where Jordan will do all the heavy lifting and I'll
2:59
just do nothing as per. So,
3:02
firstly to the people of Belfast and Dublin, thank you
3:04
for such a lovely end to the tour. Now, I'm
3:06
gonna have a GND, but you are going
3:09
to have your token Guinness. Can you not
3:11
just have a pint of Guinness? Just have
3:13
a sip. I've tried it here in Dublin.
3:17
Just one more time, just to make me happy. But can
3:19
I just say- Well, what are you gonna do to make
3:21
me happy? Yeah,
3:23
wouldn't you like to know? But
3:26
can I just say, Belfast and Dublin's probably one
3:28
of my favourite cities that we talk to. We've
3:30
been well received at many cities on this tour. Well,
3:39
can I do the toast with the gin and the bonnet?
3:41
Okay, who are we toasting to? Well, it's to the lovely
3:44
people of Belfast and Dublin for the end of the tour.
3:46
To Belfast and Dublin. Thank you. And
3:49
a second toast to the anonymous hairdresser who
3:52
got in touch last week. We
3:54
promised to toast to them. So this is to all
3:56
the barbers and hairdressers. You
3:58
trying to speak? Ah! What? I've
4:01
split the G. No you haven't. I've
4:03
split the G. No you haven't. Yeah
4:05
I have. I've split the G. Well not from
4:07
this angle you haven't. Oh
4:09
no I haven't. You're not even half
4:11
way down the G. Do you know
4:13
how to split the G? You drink
4:15
enough until it... the sort of the
4:17
white... Look how close that is. But
4:20
hang on, where is splitting the G? So you've got to
4:22
get it between the harp and the G. Oh
4:25
I thought splitting the G was you went to the like
4:27
the sort of the upward bit on the G. No
4:30
it's got to be between the harp and the G. Oh I'm sorry. Just
4:33
one little more sip and that would have been done. Well
4:36
have another sip then. No no because you've got
4:38
to do it in one haven't you? Oh I
4:40
see. It's what passes for light entertainment in this
4:42
part of the world. But anyway we're backstage in
4:44
Dublin. That'll be... how many pints
4:46
is that? Well Stuart's here so don't tell him.
4:50
Because he is our boss and we are
4:52
on stage in two hours. Yes we are.
4:54
How many pints have you had boyo? Let's
4:57
just talk about Belfast last night
4:59
and the wonderful act of kindness
5:02
that we received. Honestly. We
5:04
had finished the show, we were en
5:06
route back to the hotel to check
5:08
in and all the taxes that we
5:10
were trying to call. Local taxes, taxi
5:12
apps, nothing was working. And
5:14
the absolutely lovely door staff
5:17
at Queen's, Mandela Hall, part
5:19
of Queen's University, in particular
5:21
Stephen Chris, just
5:24
gave us lifts. Chris and Steve was like,
5:26
here I show a jump in, I'm on my way home. Steve
5:29
was from Bournemouth so he didn't tap that. Oh
5:32
he was actually, weren't he? And
5:34
they gave us a lift home. I know. That
5:37
is so sweet. And I said,
5:39
were you finishing your shift? You were driving us en
5:41
route home. No they were then going back. Because in
5:43
this part of the world people have got hearts of
5:45
gold, they can't do enough here. Well
5:47
I would say people have hearts of gold in other parts of
5:49
the world as well. So it's up here, down here, they're just
5:52
in Belfast, I'm doubling, they were
5:54
lovely. And what I love about when
5:57
you get a car in Northern Ireland, I've noticed this. every,
6:00
whether it's a taxi, whether it's a bouncer giving you
6:02
a lift on, like Chris and Steve. Well,
6:05
Brian today, who drove us from Belfast to
6:07
Dublin, they all like to
6:09
give you a tour guide. Did you?
6:11
No, we were having quite an intimate
6:13
conversation. We were. In the
6:17
back of our taxi
6:19
today. We got like a mini
6:21
bus from Belfast to
6:23
Dublin and we were being told a certain
6:25
trick about how can I put this? Well,
6:28
it's amazing what you can do with an ice cube. Let's put
6:30
it that way. Basically, we're being told by one member of the
6:32
team, we can do with an ice cube and eight all sex.
6:35
And we were having this, we'll
6:37
all be on it. I'll be honest. We were all like, he
6:39
had us in the palm of art. No names have been named,
6:42
but he was telling us about this trick and I was like,
6:44
Oh God. But then two minutes in and
6:46
then he said, no, no, no, we were like two minutes
6:48
in and was like, really? And we're all like listening. He's
6:50
like, yeah, it's brilliant. You've got to try
6:53
it. You know, and then Brian, he was
6:55
driving us over someone. If
6:57
you just, if you just look to the
6:59
left here, you can see there. That's, that's
7:01
the Royal residence that now half of Northern
7:04
Ireland don't like that. The other
7:06
half do. And then he started explaining that
7:08
he went saying, anyway, I booked that ice
7:10
cube. Yes.
7:14
So, but they like to give us anyway, we're
7:18
on about somewhere else. It was all checked. Anyway,
7:20
now I'm just going to interrupt you there. That's
7:22
across in this bridge is like being in a
7:24
history lesson. It was. And can you tell us
7:26
what this bridge is? This is where the
7:28
King from the 18th century. Yes.
7:30
The battle of the boy battle of the boy. It's
7:33
in all our calendars. Yeah. And
7:35
why is that? I don't know. But it's sort
7:38
of a fact. It's in July, I think maybe
7:40
is it? I don't know. Anyway, so we've had
7:42
a great tour. Can you have just one sip
7:44
again? It's just for the camera. I was hoping
7:46
you'd forget. Okay, come on. Have you got this?
7:49
Alex? Cheers. And you can
7:51
click this. Clinking
7:53
is common. No, but not with your chairs. Slanchy.
7:56
What's the Slanchy? You've no more for you. I
7:58
hope I'm saying that right. Sláinte.
8:00
Sláinte. Shall I
8:03
split in the G? I'm not drinking that much.
8:05
Just have a sip. Even
8:08
that tiny bit of foam on my lip. This
8:10
will be a good social bit. I
8:24
just don't know how people drink that. I'm
8:27
sorry. It's the best
8:29
drink on planet Earth. It's not.
8:31
It is. It's creamy. No. Anyway.
8:35
Anyway, look, let's just talk about a couple of
8:37
things that we've talked about on tour for those
8:39
that haven't been able to come and see us either
8:41
in the cinema or live. Your
8:43
parents haven't been
8:45
able to join us on this tour. No. Because
8:48
it's very sad. Well, it's very sad
8:50
that they can't join us, obviously. But
8:52
they have been in Turkey. Yeah. So,
8:54
Wendy, as said,
8:57
basically, me and you had to go into Turkey.
9:00
And we're going to get our teeth
9:02
done. Right. So, we're going to
9:04
go to Turkey. But she's like, I don't
9:06
want, don't tell anyone, don't tell any
9:08
of your neighbours because I don't want them knowing. And
9:11
then my dad sent a picture in the WhatsApp group that we'll put
9:13
up in our social media. Don't
9:15
tell anyone. We've been putting this picture up
9:17
on our big screens on
9:20
the tour. And it's basically
9:22
with dad with turkey teeth, but Wendy's haven't gone
9:24
quite to plan. No. Your dad looks like a
9:26
bold ryland. He does. My
9:29
dad looks like a bold ryland. It
9:31
could only happen to me. He's got his teeth and mine haven't.
9:33
So Wendy's hasn't quite. So, what actually has happened to your mum?
9:36
I don't really know. Because
9:38
also, I was asking somebody else who has had
9:40
a similar process that you don't know. Like,
9:43
what actually happens to have turkey teeth? And
9:46
the process is horrific. Is horrific.
9:50
And you know me, I don't mind a bit of some enhancements
9:52
here and there. I would absolutely not
9:54
have my teeth done. To be fair, they didn't have the best
9:56
teeth. They won't mind me saying them that. Your
10:00
dad's got beautiful teeth now. It was 70th George. We
10:02
just used to have sweets for breakfast and no one told us
10:04
to brush our teeth. You know, he did it every now and
10:06
then. Okay. In
10:08
Burnley. Yes. True.
10:11
Well, anyway, we hope your mum... There
10:14
is a solution for your mum. She's got to have
10:16
dentures, but she keeps losing them. So
10:18
she's very much like me. Arr, arr. I'm
10:21
very much my mother's son. She's
10:23
like... So what's currently in your
10:25
mother's... So when I ring her, I can tell whether
10:27
she's got them in or not. That's all I'm going
10:29
to say. So I go up and I'm a dentist,
10:32
guys. You're picking a night there. I'm like, where was
10:34
last place she had them? Right,
10:36
I'm having a lovely six weeks, isn't it? She's
10:38
had a dog item other day in her mouth.
10:40
Right. So she had a... Hang on,
10:42
which dog? I thought you died. No, she's got Katie,
10:44
aren't she? Oh, of course. The other dog that's named
10:46
after my sister-in-law, that's really weird, and we don't know
10:48
why. It's a lot of shit we need to
10:51
unravel there, but... Yes. Yes,
10:53
for another day. Okay. So
10:55
yeah, they're getting turkey teeth. I'll put a picture
10:57
up on socials. That looks great. He does look
10:59
very good. I've had my brace
11:01
for two years now. They said it'd be six months. You
11:03
could go and have your turkey teeth done. I wish I
11:05
did. Would have taken... Yeah, but if it had
11:07
gone wrong, it could have been game over
11:09
for you. Yeah, but I kind of wish I'd got them now. You've
11:12
got lovely teeth now. Nearly there. Two
11:15
years, though. Two years, I've been having this
11:17
brace in. I think you
11:19
had lice teeth to begin with. I
11:21
don't think you needed them done. I think
11:23
you were lovely before. No, that's not
11:26
true. Look at them now. Well, you
11:28
need to show me a before picture
11:30
maybe, and then I'll rethink that. But
11:32
anyway, I've just sent Lucas out for
11:34
some eyeliner. So... What
11:37
is always fascinating? I mean, I've known you for
11:39
an awfully long time. We've done this podcast
11:41
together for nearly as long. Is
11:45
what you fixate on what you don't? You're
11:48
a fascinating creature. You
11:51
fixate on whether there's eyeliner or not. You
11:55
don't need... The show is fine without eyeliner. But
11:57
yesterday, you were like... You were having an entire...
20:00
the different parts of the theater. Anyway, we'll
20:02
be back after these messages. If

22:29
Jindiva. Say
22:32
bless you. Bless you. Thank you. Come
22:35
here. Welcome
22:38
back, Jindivas. We're here still backstage at
22:40
the Limpa Theatre in Dublin, and
22:42
I'm going to tell you all about... ..looking
22:47
to the light. Ah! Excuse
22:49
me. Say bless
22:51
you. Bless you. Thank
22:53
you. Still. Oh,
22:57
someone's kicking me allergies off. Do
22:59
you think I'm allergic to Guinness? Oh, my
23:01
God, what happens if you are? Oh,
23:04
my God, again. Door's
23:06
open at 6.30. It's
23:13
gone. It's gone.
23:16
Wish you'd got... Not worse than the sneeze going, is there?
23:20
It's an outburst. It's like when you think you're going
23:22
to... Murder. You
23:24
know, when you think, oh, it's gone and gone.
23:27
In the end of ten minutes, turn over.
23:31
Turn around. Are we ready? Yeah.
23:34
Yeah, let's get the analogy of the week. Thanks
23:36
for sticking with us, Jindivas. So
23:40
why are different parts of the theatre called different
23:42
parts? Well, when theatres appeared in Tudor Britain, they
23:45
were open to the elements, as natural light
23:47
was needed, because obviously there was no electricity, so
23:49
audiences could see what was happening on stage. Think
23:51
of Shakespeare's Globe, which is obviously a replica in
23:53
London, but it's sort of that concept. It's
23:56
a original one. No, it's a replica.
23:59
So these early... venues encircled a
24:01
pit that was in front of the
24:03
stage and was standing room only. Actual
24:06
seats were only found on
24:08
the tiers on higher levels. So
24:10
when artificial lights were developed in
24:12
Victorian Britain, theatres became enclosed and
24:15
simple benches were then added in
24:17
rows in the central pit. That
24:19
area still to this day is
24:21
known as the Stalls, which is
24:23
from the older English word stay.
24:25
So that's where we get stalls
24:27
from the old English day. The next level up
24:30
was the dress circle, which was so called because
24:32
people had to wear evening dress, black tie, white
24:34
tie, that sort of thing. The gallery at the
24:36
very top was often nicknamed the gods because it
24:38
was so close to heaven or the nosebleed section
24:41
you sometimes hear it called or the oxygen deprived
24:43
area as I've been calling it. And
24:45
then the boxes at the theatres, especially royal
24:48
boxes, often face
24:50
the audience and not the stage itself,
24:52
which seems completely illogical. Yeah, why
24:54
is that? But they were angled for the inhabitants
24:56
of the boxes basically to be seen by the
24:58
audience. So if you were in a box you
25:00
basically went to be seen. You weren't that interested
25:03
in what was going on on stage. It
25:05
was a bit showy. It was basically
25:07
the Instagram of its day. Yeah, it's
25:10
always been around. Yeah, same concept. So
25:12
those were the boxes and that's why often I hate sitting
25:15
in boxes at theatres because you just get such
25:17
a bad view
25:19
of what's going on stage. But if you've been sitting in
25:21
a box for our show, I hope you had a lovely
25:23
time. So most of the theatres we
25:25
have today in the UK, they're pretty much Victorian.
25:28
Yeah, I mean you've got some lovely, like the
25:30
Millennium Centre in Cardiff is a obviously Millennium Centre,
25:32
very recent, is a beautiful theatre because it's sort
25:34
of purpose-built in this day
25:36
and age. So it's spacious, there's
25:39
nice gaps between the seats, claustrophobic.
25:41
Because we've got bigger. Victorians
25:44
were a bit smaller than us, so
25:46
actually they had quite decent legroom comparatively.
25:48
Whereas now the legroom is absolutely rubbish.
25:51
Legroom in theatres is a big topic in our
25:53
household because obviously Mikey is six foot five, so
25:55
we are very familiar with which theatres and which
25:58
parts of the theatres are sitting. such
26:00
a shame because you love the theatre.
26:02
We do and for our American listeners
26:04
what we call the stools you would
26:06
call the orchestra. And
26:08
they don't have the royal circle because you know
26:10
royal family don't have that. That's
26:13
actually quite interesting. Well thank you so
26:15
much we do we do try. Anyway
26:17
shall we go on to the listeners
26:19
problems and dilemmas? Hallie William Jordan E.P.B
26:21
and chairman emeritus Stewart. I work for
26:23
a national D.A.B radio station. Don't worry
26:25
it's not the one you work or
26:27
have worked at for Jordan. Recently
26:30
it's become very clear that my manager and her
26:32
manager are having an affair. Other
26:34
employees have been dragged into it helping them cover
26:36
it up. I have conversed
26:39
with their spouses and children while on work calls and
26:41
find it so awkward when I know what is
26:43
going on. How can I tell my
26:45
bosses that what they are doing is completely wrong and
26:47
they need to focus on their marriages children and
26:49
jobs. Well
26:51
this is deep. It's great that me and Stuart
26:54
are fuming because it's a very small industry here's
26:56
radio and we've not heard this one yet. It's
27:01
a very small it's usually Stuart will go
27:03
have you heard I'm like yeah
27:06
yeah. So my so the anonymous means
27:08
Stuart like hello we're trying to piece
27:10
that together. He's the best for radio.
27:12
So let's work out the genders. So
27:15
anonymous's manager is a girl and her
27:17
manager so we don't actually know what
27:19
how they identify but we
27:22
know one of them is female. Okay
27:25
it's sad that others have been dragged in
27:27
to help cover that up. That reflects very badly
27:29
on your place of work. I would probably
27:31
look for another job because clearly they're all immoral.
27:33
Give me an hour. Do you really want to
27:35
work with them? After this recording yes give
27:37
me an hour. Tune
27:42
into the bonus on Friday where we'll
27:44
reveal. Give me an hour. I know
27:46
my son. I know I'm gonna a
27:49
national DAB. Yeah does that mean it's
27:51
not FM? Yeah I've already got an
27:53
idea what station it might be. Leave
27:55
it with me. Okay yeah I'm like
27:58
I'm like I can't an
28:00
alcoholic detective on those shows.
28:03
It's just like, just one more thing. I'll be able
28:05
to find that out in a half. Okay, well that's
28:07
really good. We shouldn't get involved in gossip. No, I
28:10
think you probably have to go and sit another boss
28:12
down and tell them that you think this is immoral
28:14
and why are they covering it up. I mean, you can't police
28:17
whether people are going to have affairs, but you shouldn't.
28:20
Other people should not be sort of complicit in
28:22
trying to cover it up. And we
28:24
said it many times before. And it will come
28:26
back to bite them. Yep, don't shit where you
28:28
eat. They've said it
28:30
many times before. Good advice. Do not shit where
28:32
you eat. We've got another anonymous one. Dear
28:35
William Jordan producer Ben Andiego, my brother is
28:37
a lost cause. I received a message from
28:39
him. Jesus, I've got any light hearted ones
28:41
today. I'm full Guinness
28:43
day pen. I'll be crying in a minute. My
28:46
brother is a lost cause. I received a message
28:48
from him saying he fucked it. Turns out he
28:50
forgot it was his best friend's wedding day in
28:52
which he was meant to be a groomsman. He
28:55
tends to ignore his phone. So it
28:57
took the groom 32 tries to get through
28:59
to him and by that point he missed
29:01
the ceremony. He swiftly got ready and just
29:03
about made dessert. They mean pudding. Is there
29:06
anything I can do about his tardiness
29:08
and inability to respond to messages, calls
29:10
and remember commitments? My wedding day
29:13
is coming up and I'm already sure he'll forget
29:15
something. Well, over to Mr.
29:17
Reliable. Right, two things. It
29:19
sounds like your brother is going through quite
29:21
a tough time. It sounds like he's
29:23
a mess. How? Just sounds like he's
29:25
a mess. Someone's ignoring the
29:28
phone 32 times. All I'm gonna
29:30
say is speaking for this place, it sounds like he's
29:32
going through really bad
29:34
anxiety period. If you're
29:36
ignoring your phone and it's ringing 32 times. You've been going
29:38
through an anxiety period for 34 years. Yeah,
29:41
pretty much, yeah. It sounds like your
29:43
brother is going through it. I might be
29:45
wrong here but a really deep state of anxiety
29:47
is going through an anxious period. If you're not
29:49
answering your phone after 34 times. But
29:52
I'm busy. You could just be sleeping.
29:54
And stressed and missed calls and stuff.
29:56
But yeah, but also nobody's a lost
29:58
cause. It was me. people
30:00
close to me who I fought with
30:03
a lost cause. And they've
30:05
managed, people can turn themselves around. And
30:08
maybe this, to be charitable, maybe this
30:10
is the opportunity that
30:12
they will realise. It sounds like
30:14
he needs help and probably this is probably the
30:16
best time to reach out to him. One
30:20
of my relatives I
30:23
didn't speak to for a long
30:25
time because
30:27
of, again, it was at a wedding. Weddings,
30:29
as Graham Norton says, weddings are designed
30:31
to annoy people. And that's
30:33
such a good answer, he certainly says. Yeah, it's
30:36
in my upcoming book. I use the similar term,
30:38
he's a lost cause, I'm done with him. And
30:41
then we ended up sorting it out. And we
30:43
didn't speak to him. How did you sort it
30:45
out? Communication? Communication, yeah. And
30:47
that was over a year we didn't speak.
30:50
Okay, so let's pretend that someone, this person
30:52
here, it was your friend, your groomsman. What
30:56
would you accept as the apology
30:59
from the miscreant? Would
31:01
you just go, oh, don't worry about it, mate. Or
31:03
how would you feel? If I
31:06
was the groomsman, I'd be like, you'd be pissed off,
31:08
but also part of me would be like, Jesus Christ,
31:10
they need help. They're missing
31:12
a wedding. I don't know, I feel sorry for
31:16
this person. What's
31:19
your advice? I
31:21
think you are. He's got a lot of making up to
31:23
do, don't get me wrong. He needs to bend over backwards.
31:26
I would say, don't write your
31:28
own jokes. It's in the George
31:30
later. Make sure you've got that camera,
31:32
Alex. This is going to be
31:34
some great content. Talk about a wide angle. Watching
31:37
some bear wring his jock out in William's
31:39
face. Could
31:42
you keep your dirty fantasies inside your mind?
31:44
Dip his jock in a pint of Guinness
31:46
and wring it out on William's face. Not
31:54
against the idea, are you? Just absolutely
31:56
speechless, if I'm honest. I
31:58
think Anonymous has to sit there. brother down and
32:00
talk to them and and
32:03
and yes see if they are okay and if
32:05
any if it is just they were just being
32:07
a twit and they overslept and didn't set their
32:09
alarm or didn't charge their phone then
32:12
yeah but i suspect it's not that if you're
32:14
saying they're a lost cause so to be fair
32:16
i've come around a little bit to jordan's way
32:18
of thinking but i also think personal responsibility there's
32:20
always two sides of the story right next one
32:22
please this one from millie starts off
32:24
promisingly in a cheery note hello boys
32:27
i'm a paramedic and
32:29
my dilemma came one evening a few months ago when
32:31
we had to take an elderly gentleman into hospital
32:33
after having a fall at home this
32:36
is a thigh slapper can i have a stu? where'd
32:39
you get your kicks? casualty bloody hell put
32:41
your foot in a couple of jesus like
32:43
a hard answer when we got to their home the
32:45
peach are you all right? is
32:49
everything all right at home? bloody hell excuse me
32:51
stu has been carrying this tour so of course
32:53
he's tired when we got
32:55
to their home the patient was waiting for
32:57
us with his wife after maneuvering the patient
32:59
out onto the carry chair the patient shouted
33:01
goodbye to his wife and we started
33:04
to wheel him away his
33:06
wife then screamed wait and shuffled across
33:08
the room as
33:10
he was strapped into this chair with us
33:13
holding him up his wife leaned down and
33:15
very enthusiastically snogged him i
33:17
was stood inches from the slimy debacle
33:19
unable to move away from the full
33:22
minute that they played tonsil tennis elderly
33:24
apparently okay finally they let each other
33:27
go when we were able to head
33:29
to the hospital what is
33:31
the etiquette for when someone next to you engages
33:33
in a loud and wet pda? shall
33:36
we role play? i
33:39
think that's quite sweet because they thought that was going to be the
33:41
last kiss do you do you
33:43
think there should be an age limit on snogging
33:46
no i don't i just think any person
33:48
of any age of any gender however they
33:50
identify should not publicly kiss
33:52
or god forbid anything else i mean i'll
33:55
just kiss on the cheek fine snog We
34:00
do not need to see that in public. Yeah.
34:02
There is no need for that. I
34:04
think you're right. Because kiss,
34:07
show an affection's fine, isn't it? In
34:09
moderation, when all Spanish. But just
34:11
gently, a little touch on the knee, touch
34:14
on the elbow. I agree with that, but in this
34:16
case, I think they thought it might have been a
34:18
last kiss. Well, then, OK,
34:20
OK, OK, fair point. But
34:23
in which case, all
34:25
these people need to do is
34:27
just turn to the paramedics and say, you
34:29
just give us a moment, please. And they
34:31
would respectfully turn away, and then they could
34:34
go for it. That would have been better.
34:36
But in films, when they PDA and stuff,
34:38
big romantic scenes and that. That is make
34:40
believe. You
34:44
should, what? But also, it's a
34:46
film. OK. Oh, Gone
34:48
With Wind, ready. When did you
34:50
watch Gone With The Wind? It's one of his favorite films.
34:53
Is it? Yeah. That's why I call it Gone
34:55
With Wind. Right.
34:57
Because I do love that Gone With Wind.
35:01
But they kiss on there and he
35:03
turns around, bends the road. My mother's
35:05
favorite film is Mr. Bean's Holiday. Is
35:07
it actually? Yeah. Are
35:09
you joking? No. That was shite. Being
35:12
in a movie is one of my favorite films.
35:14
No. Mr. Bean's Holiday is so much better. No,
35:16
when they go to France. Yes. Yeah, it's crap.
35:20
How dare you? No, I'm sorry. It's such
35:22
a happy film. No, Bean the movie's got.
35:25
Yeah, yeah, no, it's good. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
35:27
whoa, whoa. Being in a movie with Whistler's
35:29
mother. Yes. Fantastic.
35:31
But there's too much talking in it for
35:33
Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean shouldn't talk. No, he
35:35
doesn't talk much in it. He's got like
35:37
pages of dialogue. He says the other thing.
35:40
Makes the magma cast look like a postage
35:42
stamp. Where he draws the face on Whistler's
35:44
mother. Yes, I know the film. Ah! Yeah.
35:47
Mr. Bean's Holiday is better. No, being in a movie is
35:49
better. Yesterday, all
35:53
my troubles. One from Mary now. Hello, William Jordan
35:55
and producer Ben. It's not here. I'm in my
35:57
70s and I've just binged all your episodes. class
36:00
myself as one of your more seasoned G
36:02
and Divas. But I need your
36:04
advice. Watch the etiquette for asking my
36:06
18-year-old granddaughter to explain sayings and words
36:08
I haven't heard before. For example, I
36:11
had to ask her recently what rimming
36:13
meant. Oh Jesus. Oh
36:16
Jesus. Right,
36:19
we had a dilemma in Belfast last
36:22
night where someone was being, their
36:25
name was Felicity Chin and
36:28
lots of her friends would call her Fel, our
36:31
friend Fel. So she was thus being
36:33
introduced as Fel Chin. And
36:37
to be fair, I'm going to own up to something
36:39
now and I don't need an explanation right here right
36:41
now. I was reading that out pretending on stage like
36:43
I could remember what that was. I have been told
36:45
what that is at some point but I couldn't exactly
36:47
remember what it was on stage. Are you
36:50
joking? That could have been a
36:52
really funny bit me explaining what Fel Chin is.
36:54
Do you know what I decided? The audience in
36:56
Belfast last night were degenerates enough that we did
36:58
not need. That really annoyed me because that could
37:00
have been funny. I'm not sure what we did.
37:02
You didn't, do you not know what Fel Chin
37:04
is? Don't tell me now. Why don't I tell
37:06
you but we don't record it and then we'll
37:08
get your reaction. Okay. Okay. So. I'm
37:20
so glad that I did not ask you that on
37:22
stage last night. That
37:27
is absolutely disgusting. Don't
37:29
kink shame. I find
37:31
that disgusting. If that does lots of things
37:33
for people, whoopi doo, I'm very happy for
37:35
you. What's the worst bit about it? Well,
37:39
everything, all of it. Yeah.
37:42
Anyway, to Fel Ching. Where
37:46
were we going with that? Oh, the
37:48
grandmother who didn't understand. Yeah. Mary. Mary,
37:50
I'm going to save both you and
37:52
your granddaughter a lot of embarrassment, urbandictionary.com.
37:54
Yeah. Mary, if you're on the end
37:57
online, if you're a silver surfer. Do
38:00
you remember that one? Horrible turn.
38:03
So patronising. Oh, I know.
38:05
I'm a silver surfer. Hell,
38:08
if you're a silver surfer, just
38:11
use Google, but please Mary,
38:13
stop asking your granddaughter. And
38:16
do not go away from this and ask what
38:18
your granddaughter felt. No, no. Don't. That's
38:22
a hard no. Yeah. Thank
38:24
you for your dilemmas. Thank you for your
38:26
questions and dilemmas. Remember, you can listen.
38:29
I feel like poor
38:31
Mary's going to listen to that. We've been a bit too rude. Sorry,
38:33
Mary. Are we too rude? We'll do a nice
38:35
question next week on Werther's Originals. Yeah. Mary,
38:40
that's offensive and I'm not hit
38:42
with him with that. I'm joking.
38:44
It's called comedy. Don't be ageist.
38:48
No, that was quite funny. Mary,
38:52
we hope you've enjoyed this. I'm
38:54
joking. Remember,
38:57
you can listen and watch every Tuesday and Friday. We'll see
38:59
you on Friday. We'll see you on Friday. We love
39:02
you. Goodbye. Goodbye.
