I didn't, you know. I met BC. Campplight who was Oh yeah. frrontting he was doing an impersonation and Marky Smith, who iss doing Is he a tall man in glasses and a black cap A amaz at tall man I was not going to narrow it down with these people. D't have glasses. No, what? No I saw someone singing it was very So were their performance? I don't understand. Well let me give you a little par example. Yes L There was there was like people would be interviewed. So I saw Grant Shbies was the first thing I saw being interviewed talking about producce in the fall. And he He's He just feels, I mean, he's a really nice bloke, but you sort of think he might have done drugs in the past Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I think there are a lot of people though. Yeah, exactly.es. But I liked him a lot. And I met I met Tommy Crooks, who used to be in the four and was famous he kicked Mark E Smith, the lead singer off the arse on stage. Frank, can I just say why do all these people sound like seventies variety shows? Tommy Crooks Font showhb Yeah, but Tommy Cro sound like real people. You say that, but Tommy Crooks now is sells atural skincare products. I didn't know that. Is that the one I was doing drugs? Very successfully. No, what I don't. I don't want to cast anyous persons And did you meet Fonky Si? No, I saw Fonky Ssi but I didn't meet him. Was he as funky as his name suggests? He's very lovely Boke, but I went on his tour He does a tour a two hour tour. There was like fifty middle aged blokes walking through Manchestertown centre on a Sunday morning with people looking at us thinking, Oh the poor bggers, their flags haven't turned off. That just what like that. That's really what it looked like. Do you know what I've got to go back. I think I have met Funky Sy, but I think I met him at a nightingalle' Oh okay. So sorry, si. s Is' anyone there called Chris Stehvens? John Hughes? Yeah Regular names. Well S did the the tour and he had a lapel a big lapel mic. whichich I don't think has any Working on it. No wires or anything. It was decoration. He had a decorative microphone. I couldn't hear any difference in his vice. So he walk around and show us things like Marky Smith's favourite Chinese restaurant. Oh, that's great. It was great. That's the kind of tourour I want. You've not done it before. That's all. now. I'll tell you what was good about it. Do you know the story about a badly drawn boy being mistaken for a minicab driver. No. Well, I've heard this story. I've probably told it on a podcast, but just very briefly, Marky Smith comes out of a p There's a car sitting outside. so he gets in and gives Lke his address. It's badly drawn booy who' just arrived So he said I'm not a cab driver. And I said I anyway, express switch. So he drives him there When he gets there, the story I heard was that he couldn't he hadn't got any money, so he gave him his jackie or something like that or tried to give him his jackie And then the end of the story was always, as I knew it, that a couple of days later badly drawn boys got him out in the back and he said to badly He says, Do you know this is a boy? He said, you know there's a false teeth in the back of the car So now there was an extra bit I didn't know that he found Markie Smith and said, look, I found I' found a pair of fols. You know' I want to give you a lift though I found a pair of false teeth in the back of a car Are they yours? And he said, Yeahah, but G on Kper A Gester It's little large air. S seems like a Tudor King. Oh I love that. So hang on. so you get there, you go to the conferences, you go for a walk around Well, that was Sunday morning. we went for the walk. There's Catha on the walk around Yes, of course. There was I think there were like three women on it Okay, I presented And then is there does this all build to a peak? Is there what did you do on Friday? apart from watch in the? So on the Friday I saw that was all I saw. The two bands. So there was BC campplight doing a fall and then afterwards there was a tribute band to the fall called The Look Back Bs and they were great But I think that might be funky size, Ben I don't Anyway, he plays. I like the look backack bs. I know a lot of lookback bos. I might be one myself. I think the Fall Festival was one of them. myself included. Yeah, Isn't that essentially describing the people who were there? Yeah. What about a woman we went out for a meal and a woman said to me, canan I take your photo? That wass nice. Yeah. I had me photo talkk with her She said Is it al right to put it on Instagram? What am I said? I should have Yeah, I think so. She said, donon't worry about it. No one will know you are Oh wow H?

Just a one off? I hadn't heard of it before. No I hadn't. I don't know whether it's a thing, but I'd absolutely go again. I'd go for the full weekend. It was loads of fun. Yes, the fall It's a full full I'm not rude but I wouldn't go.olutely. I hope you don't mind. I hosted, Well, it's organized. Did I say this when I mentioned it last week? It's organized by Jill Adam who is the mom of Maousey Adam. Oh now I like it. No. So the reason I was doing is I love m. I did a gig we maz see. And at the end she said, by the way, I've got a handwritten letter from my mom. So that's how I ended up doing it. Oh yes, you did crowd work with her, didn't you? That's right. Yeah. So I did I hosted Fall Mastermind That was my thing which was at one point Steve Hanley who played base for the fall for a bob years, sixteen, seventeen years came on and did four tracks on the Kazoo. and the panel at to identify It was Oh what a night.

Oh okay Simon Armitage, the poet laaureate, did a DJ set. Now that is good looking But Ive a couple of people did DJ sets and I realized that DJ sets are like When I lived back in Smedic in the old days We were sorry Why do you come aroundound our house and we'll listen to some music? And that's basically what a DJ set is. Whatere do you play them on so is it vinyl then? They're on vinyl, yah. When they would come round, Oh yeah So with a knock on the door, it was that the purpose of the visit was just to hear the music. Exactly. A mate of mine never left. He stayed in Birmingham living with his parents. And I was back in Birmingham like twenty years later. I ph found him up and I said, God, I haven't seen your var idees. let's meet up He said, why' you just come right now and have some listened to some vs. It was like like about forty. So we did that. I love anybody What's these far bringing c to te? Are you familiar with? Frank would do a thing called DOSs or something? Yeah DS fors Going for a dos Yeah. And is that like listening to the music? or does it just just sitting around doing nothing? Not even music. But the thing is about we didn't just do it. we'd book it a do? See fancy him for a dos, J's de. So you wouldn't have said to a friend, wouldould you ring a mail friend? You didn't have a phone, but God love you.. But would you get in touch with them and say, do you want to go meet for a coffee I'd say no I didn't. Men didn't do that, did they? We didn't know what coffee was in that stuff. I can't know what Well you didn't I mean, in the Black countountry they're still very suspicious of takeaway coffees. I coffee generally. Yeah. And wi fi. They're still on one of do. And wife? And Yeah. What about when I asked Pank if his parents had dinner parties? Oh. He didn't stop laughing for twenty five minutes. No. They had dinner, but they had it at five o'clock night. And I said, wouldouldn't your mom have a glass of wine? wine now Well anyway, I was at Piccadilly station going home. Yeah. A blg come up to me up to me and said, I think you've just dropped a pound And I said I don't think so. He said, Jay, y, I watch you drop it And I said, No I don't carry any after havey He said no, no he gave it to him. Soorry had And I said, Well, I don't think I'd dropped it. He said, No, but it's a good way to get to talk to you Oh that's like a pickup artist type thing, you know? Yeah but it's a completely unnecessary ruse. He could have talked to me. Why would he and I also thought I bet he's got like a series of currency. so his name Becca. Oh you dropped twenty coin. Look you dropped this twenty quick. Oh it Rd skin. You dropped a pound, right? B it get it's a lang langer. better get out ye. I bet it's got like a league table wallet Depending on who he saves. If it's Martin Lewis money saving expert, you'll go, o, you drop this voucher if. Well for me, he knew a pound would be enough to stop me in my trash. And if it was me it would be a dog treat. A dog treat. Yeah. So how did you find I'm interested given that the relationship was, let's be honest but built on deception trouble you. How did you find the interaction after that Well I was u I was Jan you You always on normal approach. but I just thought there's absolutely no need to do that to me. Just come up and say, allright, Frank, how are you Okay, then give me a pound if I've been nice That would have been different. I think that'd be a great way to say celebr. Can I give you your autograph? Lov it's been nice chatting to you. What do we say? five, six squid, you all right? We' got change You might as well, that's what they do a comy. What' actually sessentially what meat and greets are. Wh when you pay for them? Oh that a comy car. And that's the guy's nineteen seventy five. The little boy whoses Christening you went to all the way. I went to his brothers. Oh yeah Is it nineteen seventy five from think I think I went to he nineteen sixty eight his younger brother. He went to the Oh that be his old? You knew the parents. So he said, which I loved, he said any artist that accepts money for a fan meet in greet should be forced to physically have the cash handed over to them M. What do you set What say you Well, I' I think I've met myself unpopular at Comic Con by just signing things and having my photo taken just walking around notot not The organized have always been nice to me, but the people sitting behind the tables mustin, whoo the fuck do you think you are? We're doing this for like ten quid a time And you're just swaning around doing it for nothing like I don't need it. They must fucking despise me Oh you know, you're looking across the people who in Doctor whoo in nineteen sixty six two episodes. They want me to die I would struggle to be paid. Wh maybe I'll get to a time in my life, you know post nuclear where their banking system has collapsed. I might be glad to do it. But it's a cruel business. I once saw, I think it was five women from Octopusy sitting on I feel a bit uncomfortable Sitting haven't told you your story. There's Nothing you've said And they were sitting with a pile of, you know, out byide twelve glosses and a pen And it was like ten quid a picture, I think But these women were sitting there and behind them was big posters of them when they were like twenty two or something. I thought wow, this seems like it's like the ascent of man. It's so I was I was asked to do the Troiffids thing years ago. It wasn't very sophisticated. they are now I mean, no, I'd love that that. Well, there's different. Some of them are just like in a room in a hotel. Do they have to sit behind a desk then and sign It's not but you don't sign autographs or do you still sign things at? Oh yes, Usually yeah. Okay, they don't have phones at all. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love being on the other end of it. I've got loads of signed stuff and photos with You know, Jodie Whittaker and stuff. It's great But Frank, you' not you've got photos of Andrew Lloyd Weber, which you took as a fan sitting theater watching a show. and you met him. you've been to his house for dinner and you were taking photos of him. Yeah, I'm not in them. th, that's just him. You know that really? I didn't know that. I have sleepless nights about this. It's the most embarrassing thing he's ever done Except for the time he said to King Charles, donon't Google yourself, I beseech you. Yeah Well That's not joke. In a language. they like the oyle. Good use of beseech. That is not a joke. You actually said that. I did say Id beseech you. And what did he say? was s I have said sire. I think I' added that. What did he say He said Then he moved on It was right. I don't know what to do. It was all right. I don't know what to do Is there a tribe over? a big tribe over in the palace if you trapped You're not supposed to laugh at my jokes We were disged before. I theories if women laugh at a man you get h, do they think they're being sicker fant? Well I was told that I won't mention who obviously but I was told that by certain people. att the time when I started working with Frank They said, O women are judged more harshly as just being giggling sycophans. whereereas menacine as o, Aren't they generous enjoying the humor? Well, I've done a couple of gigs this week and someone definitely told the audience that laughing was inappropriate. I don't believe that Oh it was for a man. it was far. Did you do a p? I said to them. Hang on, I'm just getting my tea. I love himar. I was Hang on. I'm just gathering around the fireside. What happened? Towards the end of the gig, I said, so I stand there as ancient Sisyphus who must push an enormous boulder up a steep hill every day. That's good. the relatable material when things are going bad? Well it's a by there and it didn't. Why was it bad? I'm interested. just wasn't funny enough but I saw you Last before last week on the hottest it was the hottest day. You were at that g. I was. Yeah, you had camo shorts on. I thought sorry about. was it was hot.Ca I' usually I think it it's UM. I never I've never seen him in Camo shorts usually She did say that. It was like thirty four d. So hot, but you smashed it. No it went well That was my a game It You're making it easy for the rest of us turning up at these gigbs you know? Well, it' maybe I'm just not funning in long trousers Oh, okay, yeah, that's That's the title of my next book, Not fununny in Arms's houses No I can't believe that. No, honest say, I'm not kidding. it was really hard work. Have you got another couple this way? No, thankful. Do you know when it goes badly though? what's the or you feel it's going into an isolation, takeag for three days. Oh Frank, you're so drama queen. When it goes badly though, is it do you say to the audience are you meant to never refer to the fact always always. So what would you say, o, this isn't going very well or I remember one going really bad and I said, you know when the Titanic went down and they had a ban carried on plane. This is what it would have been like if they'd booked a stand up comedian that night inste And he tried to keep their spirit top as the goldfish was appearing at the fucking potholes Can you find when you do that? Is it possible It's terrible. ' I say that, never the pain nevers it never get worse ever Really? No. Even if you're rich and famous That has nothing to do with it. did you tell him that you were sixty nine I think I did tell on that. Andnd did anyone go away I did. Well, this is the thing. so one thing I meant to say was when I saw you, you said I'm sixty nine and not one person in the room went, W, I did in my head. Yeah. And I thought, what's that say about today's society? Well On a good night, I They good. We found your people now this this it was brutal both shows this week were. How do you get out of that? How do you feel when you go home? Do sound like I've got out of it? No You don't move on. I get on the tube. The thing is I get on the tube and I get my sheet of paper out with my set on. And use I use one of these pens multic colored and I do crosses and tques against the material that didn't work. Yeah. So you really stay immersed in the moment of trauma. Well, it's good you know, to have it where it's still in your memory where you can still feel the pain Wow. And then there was the thing Sarah Millican once said to Frank. What was the eleven o'clock in the morning rule, Frank? She had a rule didn't she? She said whether it's been a brilliant gig that leaves you the post gig glow or whether it's been a gig that breaks your heart, you have to switch it off by eleven o'clock the next morning. I love that. Yeah, You not Frank I am not an animal Thanks doing an elephant man in being. Is that you Prince Charles? No, it is't. He does this elephant manan, which is still currently acceptable. Is it? Oh yeah, I think it's fine, is it I don't know. Well no, I think you're doing an impression of John Hurt doing the Elephant man, which I Hch backack an not a damn joking about just and halfway through, I thought, is this okay? I know he's a fictional character, but he's's okay. We look to you for guidance. We don't know what we're doing. We're like Mammoth. we don't know. I haven't heard anything saying it's cancellled. What they've cancellled Yeah they've cancelled doing jokes about the Hunchbberg and N not or that. I haven't heard anything. That'll be tough Well text in. It was that one when well, one of them was when he's been chased by a bunch of kids and he turns around and says, For the last time, I haven't got your fucking football It makes me feel sad. I feel sorry for him and the elephant I can't the hunchback I'm not. And I can't watch the elephant makes it's too sad, makes me want to cry I can't m exist in black and white Oh Frank is such a Pilistine, honestly. My new My live concert thing is is in black and white Is it why? who is that Well my the, they said to me, I think when people think of you, they think of you in black and white See, the eleph have got me mixed up the elephant.

Sandy and Emily were saying, Ohh, we had some lovely feedback about you being on the pod last week. and you said s the and. I think Emily I said it. I don't think.

We made her change her name. Yeah. Anyway, her name. G have that. Anyway, the point is Ruth is much loved. Was it very well loved? No very well loved was what you said. I remember I was say And I so I thought I couldn't say that if someone had a knife to my throat, I'd be too embarrassed. Well and too humble You are no humble, come on. Well well, go on, go on, Ruth. I had a lot of positive feedback about him being on the pod and about you, Frank as well. Did you really? I really did. yeah.. You're clever. You know he'll be all right about it. I'm glad to hear that. As I explained at the time, when people get positive feedback on the pod, I always think, well, that's them doing that Well We've got some news from the outside world that will prove my point., but he'll still think you wrote it. No come on, let's see it. It depends on the gram So the subject is longtime Huskco follower And it's all speelt correctly, by the way. Okay. Greetings to Frank M and hopefully Huskco I was listening to today's show I need to start that again, Soray, can I start that again? Soray? Why? Why? Because I wanted to do the first two bits together because it ends on a different question for you So there's two bits of surprisise for me that I'll lead with and then I want to do the question for you. Okay, but I just want to leave this in Yeah This is absolutely gonna stay because this is what they like. you see a little know behind the scenes. They love what I believe is called the BTS content. What does that mean? Behind the scenes. Oh with it, Frankkinh? Should I say something cancellable so you got to check it out. Well leave can if you like. We'll leave this in. thenen you'll be even more well loved but I quite the wrong people Certain demographic your potholes will disappear overnight. Well, what's happened already in my case. The HRT help. U So over to you and'm this is going to take off, hopefully Huskco. That's your new name Come on then. That so the subject is longtime Husko follower. Greetings Frank, Emm and, hopefully Huskko. I'm a longtime follower of Husko on the Socials and I was delighted to hear she was your guest on the show. I was listening to today's show and Frank sted an anecdote about being on a Dublin bus, but the conversation went in a different direction As a dubliner, I'd love to hear about his experience on one of our sporadic bus services Basically look, was I think the reason it didn't go any further is I thought better off it. But basically I was on the upper deck of a dblin boss and I looked across some waste ground And there was a man receiving Oral help Yeah fromr the Wal hell. Yeah would you call it that cororal o?s the dentist window, I find Llos, I think her name was It was quite shocking. It was broad daylight. It was like it was like, you know Excuse me, how much is you charge for oral help? To o'clock in the afternoon. There's got to be an American actress called Oral Health to put money on it Yes, okay. I didn't praise you that much. That's too. because they do that horrible tradition of stak and BJ day, which makes me feel ill. I think they should rebrand as stak and orral Help day. So it sounds more like a charity. Oral Help is because there is a destination which thatat man see And I I can I'm very f. There's no room on the boss. And so he has to take another route. Please give generously today. Oral helpp needs your support. Ratin the Kid. But instead of coins, it's just like swish you get fluid. So. Now you see what you've done? Thanks too. Thankks, Michael. For help for the world. that You' absolutely taken it too far. I knew you would do that. Prop comedy, they love this. They love prop comedy, the youngs. Can I just clarify that was a smoothie bottle? Yeah was it was. It was used for the oral help. Exactly. Prop. I' trying to think of a nice way, wouldn't it? Well, I think you did put it in a nice way. Exactly. I made it look an kindindness while it often has been in my case. Wh can we just ask all cases pretty much. canan we ask Don't ask Rh that. Oh no, Frank, I know better. Okay. N, should I like to ask you, Frank. Praise is genuine. You can sense that's genuine. You have a good read on genuine. Look, I'll be honest with you, my wife Um We loved Ruth on the podcast. did she I knew she was would. Yes. I knew she was. I feel really happy about that. Well, you know Yeah. Frank, not so much obviously But at least No no, I'm really pleed. It's nice to hear a praising somebody. Oh yeah. Yeah. Love Sic. I can honestly say, we did get a lot of praise. I was getting a little annoying on you, R. It was getting a bit much. I won't lie. Okay, you're gonna turn again me now, so let's just stop it. It was g right It was Gor. Do you know can we what is there any other news isn't about you? Oh I mean, I'm gonna struggle to find something, I'll do my best. Would u you like to hear about Giles Brandreth, Scott from Braintree, who's one of our regulars And he says, Hi, Frank, Emily and guest. He says possibly Steve. I do apologise. right After hearing your discussion regarding what does Gilles Brandreth wear in summer That sounds very us. I'm trusting we. So always think of him in a jump at at all times. Scott says I decided to channel my Inner Columbo and do some detective work online. Find out more about Mr. Brandreth's summer wardrobe of choice. I love that Scott did this. He sat there Googling Charles Brandreth wardrobe, summer The answer is somewhat bizarre But I'm guessing largely science based All I can hope is that he has some industrial strength, deoderant. Scott directs me to this he found online Believe it or not, Gilles Brandreth still wears his trademark novelty woolly jumpers all through the height of summer. Oh During now. Intense UK heat waves He has famously baffled this morning viewers by showing up in thick knitwear However, Giles has claimed previously that a heavy sweater acts like a thermos flask to trap the cold air and keep him cool. Does he mean because he's a heavy sweater? No, it' that's your. Do you think it's? No I'm thinking now Pates ingy with Prince Andrew, remember Petzer Gate, whatn the other thing about He doesn't he doesn't sweat.
