Ironically it's very seventies. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind. Frank, may I ask a personal question. Are you going to do the entire podcast with a green star on your forehead? Wh I forgot I still got that. Why did I ask, why did you stick a green star on your forehead? Well, somebody kindly sent me a poetry book from Cool in u Well, obviously in Ireland. and Their address is on here somewhere. I'm not going to read out their address, but I'll just say that they live This is why I thought this might be a scam. They live in Shamrock Drive sounds like such a lie. I know, but it must exist. Yeah. Guinea Avenue It's such a lie. No, I believe it. Well, it's been delivered. Anyway, it included some stars in its packaging and I just tried one on my forehead So I'm a big fan of teenagers who cover their spots with those star shaped Yes That's the thing. So I think it's really nice to say Yes. Yeah. I've got Yes. I know Reclaim the spot. Exactly it is it is reclamation at the finest. I love it I out don't have any spots G Strange aboutose? Yeah You've got beautiful skin Fank. Thank you so much. D got your skincare routine You look like, you know, you see the texture of a McDonald's bn Yeah. It's so smooth and perfect. Yeah. I' almost a bit tast. I'm actually actually self basing It's always been one of his finest qualities to sk. Thank you so much,. He doesn't like it when you've g too much. Okay, that's enough. No, I don't care about that, I kind of praise Well done I don't get much. Well done, though, dear. I'm a fan of all praise dermatological. Well tell us the skincare routine, the audience, the readers, I should say will want to know. I think it's to do with not drinking or smoking or doing drugs. I'm sorry, I know that's not the information they want to hear No, it is when people say to me, I've got good skin. I say never, ever ever take drugs. Sorry, was I supposed to respond by saying, you've got? No, no, it feeling that with the reprimand. No was my old reprimand but I said, Well, can I also say Ruth Not only are you much loved on the internet, but you've got your skin shining like a Is this podcast sponsored by Niv here now? Yeah. This will be my last week on this partod. Oh it might be my last week No, I was just saying because it's funny that you said that about not taking drugs because I said that to someone Recently've said my skiing' was really nice. and I always say the same thing, never ever take drugs because they do make you look mad and ugly and they will age you Wow, but I remember saying to Robert Downey Junr. that he was a great advert for heroage. He got lost. He't say things. No, but he did he look great. I know, but you shouldn't say that. He was fine. I'm sure he was. He was in in seventh heaven at the time. No, no, he was straight. He was clean he took it in the spirit in which it was delivered, which is what I'm like with Amazon So the star is gone now. I feel relieved. Yes, it's gone. I mean, it wasn't actually there. That was the light that it was generating forty years ago. Like all stars, we see them as they were rather than. You just looked like you've joined a weird cult and I felt uncomfortable about it. You know, I've met about eight people that grew up in cults. You'd think, wouldn't you? that it'd be really unusual I think cultts all over the bloody place. Yeah I think how do they get into them because they're so secretive as well. I think there's isn't there a cult section in time out But you can enjoy I think so. You can subscribe. Some people just pick it on color of rope someome on belief some on the sex elements. Well, there is a famous cult which we won't name because they're quite litigious, but they they have a headquarters in London, which you may most be familiar with. and they often approach people in the street. they never approach me. And then I read they only approach they approach a very good looking I thought you were going say the very gullible looking whichich would work. No they call storm Oh. No you've all se about a storm agency. They discover. I presume their scouts are female. ' they'll Yeah, we saw the fifteen year old Kate Moss here. I went over and said, Come around, I'll take some photos of you. I thought y' I'll try that. Let's see how that goes. I'm still waiting to get spotted. I don't know about you am. I still walk around thinking I could get spotted. Well, I thought the star might turn it around. What if I'd forgot about the star gone home in what iss bright sunshine today? and then I was stopped with the an time I know that would be awful. I would love it if that happened. Yeah. Talking of Wes Fank. Yes. Did you see the England game I did to the England game, of course. Did you like we as we recall? Yes, we should say where we are Well, we're in sppirit lland, of course. but Yes, it it was actually England, Croatia was last night as we record. And I went to David Badil's house nine o'clock at night, I went out left house in the dark Beft House. chance. I thought I'd send a telegram to Elizabeth.. Beft house at dark Arived stop arrived at fifty. Stop. ye, exactly So yeah, went with the whole Badill family with there. Lovely. it was I was more w into football I think when England play in the world lot people who don't like football like that. I like that And was it was exciting and One of those very rare things, an enjoyable England guy It was Although I wasn't sure about you did you Unless you're at Southgate whichich case you sat at home go Fuck up with it. Get back. G back Yeah. You're right, that's like Berry going to an ex's wedding. I wouldn't want to at the ex's wedding. Wouldn't be around the house with him today. He's already and he's dressing down till about four thirty in the afternoon. He's playing the scratchies. Oh man you'll be absolutely livid Do know what? I wasn't sure about the Tom Hiddleston thing at the beginning of the ITV coverage. Did you see that? How was that? No I didn't It didt s of Hengry fifth. It was kind of like It's time to believe again. It's time for England. We believe in you It was a bit allright, Kenny Branner It did feel a bit, Kenny Brahanna, but I'm not gonna lie. I love Tomas. You love him, I do love him. 'cause I think self awareness cripples him any ways And I like to see someone who hass flown utterly free from me Becauseuse he keeps delivering guys The dance wasn't enough. He doesn't say, o, I did the dance. but he's like, No, I'm going back for more. I'm going back It's time to leave again. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant low key. I saw him in Shakespeare I know he' alive, He's fantastic. I mean he iss brilliant What do you think also the nicknames? you know what makes me laugh? You know, they always have nicknames for each other I'm going to wear a vest that says I heart T H. Now that would be very m and I would like that. Yeah Yeah. you know, the pundits, whenever because Ian Wright loves a nickname So he calls Gary Neville Gal which I find very oddious. No gal, no gal And Gary E looks a little bit uncomfortable. I know there was someone called Guy. Guy Mubright, big guys and gals. I would actually them if you didn't say that anymore. Nops. And then Joe Hart, I watched the post match covered on the BBC. It was it's Joe Hart and Wayne Rooney And they looked very uncomfortable Because Joe Hart keeps, I mean, Wayne Mononey is a bit uncomfortable as a punder anyway, bless him. But Joe Hart keeps calling him Waz I don't I think Wayne likes it, because I think' sort of say, Look I'm doing a proper job here me? It's a bit embarrassing. It means heurinate doesnt. Well, yeah, that's what I. Yeah. That's what I don't know if Joe Hot because he keeps saying, well, as we was saying, if you're going to play that deep, I was saying to Waz It sort of tenensing like giving him a side glanceces stop calling me that. Yeah, I bet he'll have a quiet one He didn't like it frank way. Now he probably has told him, but Joe Hart can't hear him from that altitude Oh dear. It doesn't feel like the natural progression from way to was. You go asa Yeah was? he said W? Well why in this one syllable I'ember of the footballers. Wh? You call him Roo? I used to call him Roo. But newspapers called him Roo because it rhymed with lots of things for their punning headlines Rue Beauty, if you've got a go stuff like that. Yeah. loveve those Yes, they did a lot of that Rue Hosco. That's me. Yeah. Oh yeah, we're gonna have to stop doing that. Nobody calls you Rue, do they? No. I won't call you Rad. I get call Ruthie sometimes. That's quite nice. Ruthie, I always think of Ruthie Henschells.'s the only Ruthie I really know. Yeah But you know, I don't know, I don't get out much. Okay. Anyway, we likek the England game. We were very pleased, weren't we? What are you being up to, Ruy? Well, keen listeners Readers Well know. Don't worry. call them what you like. You don't call them what you like. I should be calling them readers as a reader myself As I mentioned before, I've played loads of darts gam as part of the City of London Darts Association. firstirst season, I was bottom of the league, minus twenty five points, couldn't win a gameinus twenty five points didid you lose points But missing financially regularities How can you be minus twentyy five?t know I don't really understand the scoring system, but I was bottom. It must be you have a certain amount of points for every game and I'd lost too many. I don't know. but anyway, the point being is Yeah let's not get bogged in in the city of London is he on today? No He's no longer No he's with us Okay I don't know, I haven't heard of him phr. you know b D', Ruth? No thanks for the tip. But he wears a safari ones that don he wears a saafari suit or he wore, we should a Bege polyeseleisia suit And that was sort of his stick was wearing a safari suit. singing Frank Sonatra songs. He dressed as It was character comedy essentially, wasn't it? I do know we had white teeth and a blonde wig. That's right. Yeah. That's right. It wouldn't really stand out now. but in the eighties there weren't many people with white teeth That was a comedy that was a comedy moment having perfectly straight white teeth. I know how weird is that A, look at this teep. Yeahot remotely yellow or crooked. It's like if there was a pigeon Cabai and some of them came on with two complete claws Pe be absolutely blown away by Anyway, back to the dots. The claws are talons. Ton. I like a talon. Oh that's an eagle. Oh Anyway back to the doob. I'm going to do a documentary called Pigeons Got Tylons in which I discover why they have that terrible clenched. Horrible gnled one foot like that That the point of the entire point of the documentary. It them got flops on and they've got to keep them on. Gra. Oh, it could be that. It could be that. Yeah, because they don't inv. If they lived on purchase, you would imagine because they have to have one foot clenched while I grew with the other They don'tve on perchase. they live on pavements and ye They're growing on me pigeons because I feel sorry for them. I think they get a very bad PR the pigeon. Yeah, and they clear up a lot of oit whichich they don'll get full credit for Anyway, back to the dot. I Yeah forgotten. I won my first game this week. We hold on Hold on hold on. let's see what we've got here. Keep going Stand up if you love the darts, stand up Oh I been al Oh we go. Just play something I'm pressing the jle. Here we go. Sitting it clear Okay. He's busy in Barbado. Oh Where was you playing You don't have to name them. No, we're just just a man from the league, I mean? You beat a man, good. Oh yeah Oh yeah, I did. And it was really exciting because I almost got a one hundred eighty, I got one hundred forty, which is my highest ever score. So I went treble twenty, treble twenty and got a twenty A good I don't know about darts I was kind. I was guessing that might have been yeah because if you talk to people who play darts, they go and how did you get to that? Well you know, how did you do whatever it was? So I thought I might just say. I was playing dartance in this pro I used to do drinking regularly when I was about sixteen. And I th this start, it bounced off the wire. It went right across the bar And Trev the Teddy used to stand at the bar And he was one of those bugs that would have one foot on its on its toe. you know what I mean? So it you know with one leg straight and one foot on its like when a horse s leaps And he went in the shoe And he was quite, you know, he' a dangerous man. I managed to talk him around was he a teddy boy I think he was a former Teddy boy. so he still had the quiff And just whatever he wore, the trousers seemed to automatically tighten and the jacket seemed to automatically lengthen. He had Teddy boy so deep in his DNA that his clothes changed by osmosis Yeah, Tve the t. Nice Bg when he wasn't sounds lovely he wasn't be you've had some lovely friends When he wasn't ped Yeah, well I don't know if he was I suppose he was an acquaint. He was a drinking friend. M Are they a bit different, would you say? How would you define the drinking friend? Look when you stop drinking, you never want to see them again. Really? Yeah. Do you only see them at the pub then? I never go to the pub anymore. No no, but when you were younger, when you were drinking, would you just go to see them at the pub? Yeah, but I was I could go into it There was three or four pubs I could go in and there would be like twenty people in there who I could spend the night with. How lovely. Now I'm desperately lonely outside my own family unit But you know, I could't have anything any moreore Never mind, I'll do that again in post. Oh we don't do post No know What else you been up to apart from w? And did you celebrate with raised arms? I did, but we also celebrated. I didn't know this was going to happen and I don't think it was anything to do with me winning We finished the game and everyone was really happy. and then all of a sudden this tray of chips appeared like the ammbassador's reception. It just on the track. I took a picture if you want to put it on the socials. Yeah, this big tray of chips just appeared. But was there a play? No You had to eat it like eating from la? I love. I'll. So hang on, what was the trail like Well we'll see.'ll It's like a silver tray. like the ambassador's reset. Oh I love that they give you the trade. These are my people, these dance people. Yeah, it was It sounds tray bond. French jokes. The Pnd de tire D Frit. A ye But then I played someone else. Oh, you shouldn't have done that. Why? That should have you'd won your game. But this is about something else. Okay. It's not about me winning or losing. It's about how you play the game. Okay. So I played someone else after and they were asking me what I did for the job and I said, I'm a comedy writer. And I'm writing a few sitcoms And he said, What's your favorite sitcom then Straight awayy, obviously, I said Blue heaven, She. Thank you It's not even my favorite. was it It's certainly not mine.. Well anyway, he said something like everyone would say, which is the office American. He said Yeah. A lot of people say that. And what would I say I've seen it You'd say Sperstore,? Of course I would. Yeah ye. There's a character in Sperstore. which is the best it come of all time. Y. as a character in it who I am managed to find a funk it's called Gart. I managed to find a Fkco pop. of him and got my D you want for his birthday? That's a superstore funco. That's mad because you would never get a ree from a lower low funkco pop, would youa? No Mr. Britis one So that's lovely. I don't think you'd get it ain't half hot m either, which is probably for the best. Frank S there's a hell of a lot wrong with that show. We didn't know. We thought it was okay. I apologise on behalf of them. But if you got one of those talking dolls of right now. of course it'd only work once he have to throw away. Oh for God's sake. Because he always said, Oh I say this only only on. I'm explaining it to R. I know. No, and the thing is I did' know that but I was thinking of Vicky Michelle You know? Yeah. I'm always thinking notot really. Of course this isnt. I'm not. It's a nice. No, I know. It was a goodariff. I met her about twelve months ago. She seems very pleasant and I loved a pencil skirt and a tight house Because that was the seventy sexy. That's a skirt and a tight pars. That's all you needed. you were good to go. And ahir tight No, but she remember she was she dwellt In Nazi occupied France. She didn't not the seventies. She didn't really dwell in She did in that out. No, but they still in the seventies, they still made it look it was a seventies idea of Nazi occupied France. You'll find if you look back the fashions are all geared towards what men likek then. Thank you. Okay. Okay. I watched a documentary about Low Lo, it's very good I saying I'm trying to find reading. Yeah, I love. I find it low and low a bit like people who have put on chill music I watch it and I find it really therapeutic. Oh yeah. I felt so good after watching the I felt really happy and I was.' not about the wall. Yeah. It's just ye the wall. But Nancy occupied France. The Fall and Madonna with the big boobies. Yeah. store It had I mean, it reflects opinions and attitudes from a different time as they always say before it comes on. I didn't that's It' true? Because when I was on holiday in Turkey once, there were two cafe owners, and I'm afraid that's what they used to call me. Oh G you are. Madonna with the big boobies. Is they? they didn't know. They didn't know, Frank Did you have a little microphone like this and a bus I well I have it donor Oh yeah Yeah Oh, I say Yeah. I was thinking of the classic eighties You know. Yeah, now you're right. You know what Frank says about that? I mean it's not necessarily funny, Ruth, but he is right. Now I always used to s and I got one of those Madonna microphones or as young people say, microphones Anyway, what's been at in Alfresco? Oh in the outside world. Ohool Well, we've got a few here. three two eight has got in touch with us I got in touch with her. Why should I say it like that? I know, I'm soaked Like Adam Kay. did we have to find that Jakelock. Oh, that was for Adam Kay. We had all the Bolcaast and he couldn't say the word you say. Look if they didn't fucking list them a fucker. Carry on H on. I'm not explaining the last. if it's like ten years ago. Yeah but the last podcast. Ky Bob. No We're not doing previously. It could be a new somebody could be listening to this for the first time. Oh yeah. Hello, Bye. They've gone. Apologies about the Nazi content. was it? I think the Nazis think they're treated in a negative way The more I hear about them What do you mean? What you're lamenting Ohow alow. Oh I see, I thought you would have. N a celebration. Three to eight has got in touch guys I remember you used to like hearing about the names of tribute apps Frank with the classic being Can you remember? Shanah twwin. Very good. I saw a poster for one at the weekend called, Wait for this. Adele of a tribute Oh What do you think you don't like it? I're not sure about. That's a bit long. It's got the word tribute in it as well. Don't rob their fucking nose this inn' it Do you know what I mean? Yeah They wantna believe some part of you, when you see a tribute band wants to believe it's a. I'm sure you could come up with a better one. I'm gonna leave you with that Adult I don't like adults. Wellor Theult is all mixed up for now which is what you know, she's intertwined with one of the of writers., what do you think? I'm trying to think of one because it' Adele of a tribute makes you form like a full sentence. There could be another addele of, but not tribute. Okay ye. Okay Adele of a show. Yeah. Well it's better than tribute. I think you're both right. Yeah. Look I just like the effort that was made over No I don't get I'm not condemnning. and she might be a fabulous addele That's all I'm saying. Okay Giles has also been in touch because N not about his jumpper How d I got a realice one this get lock. G off me. No but the new one youi. G off me Anyway, Sry very good friends with King Charles. Did you know that? I'd never talk about. He does know a lot of people, Giles Brandress. He does Very well connected. No he's well connected. Anyway, Giles has got in touch, not that, Giles We were talking recently about stag ds. We were having a conversation not long ago about those. Were we? H At Bristol Airport yesterday, I was witnessed Faded young man In a wedding dress Fighting with the gale to prevent his blow up sex at the whole from going the way of his dignity. They take these with them on the Stagdoos now, it's part of the whole thing. You've probably seen it, really? Yeah ye. He looked utterly miserable. While I imagine that the pioneers of such antics back in the day must have been greeted at check in with nervous giggles Surely the ten thousandth groom to undergo this ritual is destined to be spending his weekend sailing a sea of cringe. I could feel nothing but pity How can we save today's youth from drowning in cliche amid the rocks of derision That's from John. Wow, that's I think that is John He of course is on his way back from the stag D. Bristol that doll will have it Bet a ballast to keep it grandy Really U No, I met the bloke I was I was in Manchester and a guy said Frack, frack, can I get a selfie with you? And he got a top hat and like a posh thing on and had a big bag of money Mis Monopoly. It was Mr Monopoly. That's what he was He was spending Yeah, he was spending his entire stager as Mr Monopoly I said I fucking out monopoly. I' tell you Oh God, it's the worst game ever invented. D you? But I still did a photo What's he called Mr. Money bags? money bag Mrter Money bags? That what he's called? That's his name. Oh yeah. That's all right. He's say a millionaire isism. That's what I call you. still do that. Not that long ago at King's Cross I saw some people dressed as like knights with the Saint George flag. Oh yeah. And I thought, Oh Stag do, but it was a Tommy Robinson march. Oh they' what they costplay Tommy Robinson. They got change W and stuff and How do they don' do they? Well it's like England You know, Jainmail, man, that is fuc. It's I've never picked anyone. I remember when my was eight, I't put Jainmail on him. it just dropped to the floor is a ton? They were probably wearing fancy dress chain m., which would have been made out of stand. down. You know what? No it would have been made out of bllo pads or something. It's so depressing. They would have got scours. No, but if there were students with like, you know blow pipes or something, they'd have been glad of real real chain mail So what? Do they have it out? Oh So what were they wearing the chamel with the white tabard? know the look. I do know the look, but I think it's a real shame that they're appropriating it because the dungeons and dragons and the cosplayers I would say they're a lovely benign community And I don't want them to get mixed up for these types. I like the idea of one of them saying I think Ive forgot my charger and then a horse comes around the corner Hello Anywayway, that is Charles' view on stag do you have I think yeah, I think they are. But I think weddings' the same. I beeaches and all that and all that S always you just make people stressed and then they drink more because they're stressed about the speeches and. And then the best man gets up and tells all terrible stories about, you know sexual activities and violence they got involved with with the groom Silence. It is. Have you ever given a best manan speech for me? I have How did it go? I bet you'd the dream, don't you think R killed him. He'd be the I'd pay him for the speech. I think You must have been a good booking I think it went allright. Was this back in the day or post fame? No back in the day, ye. Oh, no one's had you post fame. I think I've done one post fame but basically I don't like waiting this much Did you not have a st Tenessee, s?. Did you not have a stag day before you married C Yeah, I had Two vim toes And And the fruit and not bar, that. Now what can I have on my stack? What are I do? if you need to celebrate your last night of freedom, why are you giving up freedom in the first place? I think that, yeah. Yeah think you ate you o Yeah That's what youre say? Not just your wife,. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The gay men. you're right. And gay women, do they have celebratory? Do you know, I suspect they do. Last night of freedom. Yeah. I mean, you'll celebrate your last night of freedom. Yeah. F Don't do it. Why are you doing it? If you feel like that, you've got to get absolutely, youve gott to dress as m the boney bag And only men are allowed. And you've got to have a plastic woman and you've got to get so drunk, you can't remember it. and then your friends will pull your trousers and pants off and turn you to a lamppost. Why do they handcuff them to the lamp? And then so at the wedding, When they're married, they don'll think, oh God You know what? I miss when I was Bottomless and chained to a lamp post. thoseose were the days. Compared to this, compared to this I thought at the time it was humiliating but compared to this. Can I say I don't need anything of the sort No. Okay. Well, Giles, it seems like we're in agreement with you when it comes to Stag. F It I don't know what happens at h parties. I just see women we like learn about Yeah L plight I had. I had a mate who had three Hindus once. Really and now she' divorced. Did she know them Did she know? No. But she was in Ga on holder. They're really lavish things now about my day When my friends getting married, it was quite straightforward. It was one night out now, minimum four day mini break. Well, I used to hang out in Bright a lot get over it And I used to see I used to see the S the Hndooes at the weekend. And used to get like three or four young women in PVC nurse outfits and then Auntie Lil forced to wear a PV Auntie Lil so t. Oh so cool, like an elastic band on a bork scratching. R. Made to wear this fazase thing No, but I thought let Auntie liill off with the fucking. I've refused to do it. But also I think she was just reassured there was nurses around. I can C see L wants to do it. Do you? Yeah, do you I don'. They get involved I They all look really tired. The mom and the aunt is look fucking exhausted. and it's like you see him half nine at night, you think I do. You got another four or five hours But they do tend not to ancuff them to the lamp post in. I notothing like that. The worst you'll have is the Dicky zippers What's the penis straws? Oh yes, the penis straws. I've seen those. I don't know they get them down there. Fine Honestly What el It's become very ribled, hasn't it? This organic It should have ribled. saw I saw FKA twweaks last week. No at the O two. How She is a bit O baby innt she? Well she is Whos she married to Robert Pattinson? No, that's the other one. She dated him. I don't. I don't look up stuff like that I'm there for the music. You don't have to look it up to know that piece of information. med Auntie Lil I know. I don't know she's married. She was with him, she's not. She was with Shia L bit. what are we gonna define her via male partners? Y No come on there No. Someone who said to tell let me out of research. I'm just making it clear to you. Where does it not? Tell me about how she walk. Well it was Kath was very excited because FKI twix is from Chelam where my wife What another f. You know, any We all have these allegiances for sord. It's like when I said Bellingham play well, I think or Stairbrid. I love it. And George Fright is in. They both have that and I have that about North London because no one comes out of there who does Well, you know't know one from North London that show business. It's almost as if being born in hasouse has got massive advantages to people from other parts of the country down here? How dare you? I told you my dad had to make at least two phone calls to his friends. No fair enough. I. Did it the hard way Anyway. It was I mean it was a spectacular show. And this is one of the good things, one of the few good things about getting old is that she pole dances quite a lot. And you know pole dancing, you think. But when your sort of libidos drained out and you watch You think impressive moments. I mean, she's virtually horizontal at times, just on arm strength Yeah.

And also the most incredible voice, I don't know if you're familiar with her work No I only know about Charla L Berh Matt Healley and Roll H. Yeah, but her voice is amazing, but it was a very it was a sexy show. Yeah. And I'm a bit h for that stuff Chiant's man dancing and Side look You know you see people with amazing physiques. It looked like another step after that. They were absolutely like perfection these bugs, but they had they had very skimpy sort of u sweat pant type Too skimpey for my life And it was very I got upset. . I'm not saying they were aroused or anything, but some blood had definitely entered the support struts Oh goodness me I think this is what they why they call it semi nudity Yes, she's very what I call like an o sex performer. All of her songs are a very sexy look Sabrina Carpenter. But She's sexy. Very sexy. But you know, I mean, it obviously it's what your youth want but j my memory a bit. And the audience have to say this is not as audence because I obviously I, you know I've been to lots of football matches on that and just the theatre in general now, you expect a certain amount of hostility and unpleasantness from people It was so lovely her audience Young, very young, but u I texted the tour manager, It was Omar, who was my tour manager, which is why I was there initially. And I said to him, this audience is so nice. I feel that if I fell someone would catch me. And it honestly felt like that.
