Here we go Frank and Emily reading your text. pllus a surprise guess who will be next? Fund enough chatter and stories to send. What' you think Now that's cool Dad Oh I like the Colsten Yeah, You know I don't remember that one. I'm sure we've liked it before. Do you know He Cston? Yeah. Do you remember that, Ruth? Frank tried to make Colston take off? I really thought it would catch up. How long ago was that? It's probably about six years ago and it's never quite happened. And I'm still waiting who Cston never showed his face. I remember the big rumor about Diana Ross when I was at school was that she was dead Oh was that right? Yeah, people used to say she's dead and it's you know, it's all they use doubles and that when she makes an appearance. Is that right Well I won't mention the rumour that we heard. It's about a famous eighties pop singer. Oh I think you'll know what it is. Yeah, well we won't go into it. W that's the least interesting rumour is your deck I made It's easy to re all that gossip Oh dead, dead apparently. I mean, that was not what people said when Diana Ross cropped up. M still alive now We didn't have any celebrity rumors at ourr school, although I remember people saying that Matt Goss and Luke Goss had come to the school Oh Darliston, which I find very. I hop you were gonna to say we were one and the same person. That would be a good room. Oh that would be great. It's all just they just had a mirror on stage. And of course Ken They called him, Craig, the drummer. and Viz rather cruelly referred to him as Ken and Matt, Luke and Ken the ugly one who know on fancies, which hor. what's that? Can I tell you exactly what that was? I turned my phone off, but it was still activated on my laptop. It was your wife sending me a message. Well, you got to read it out? Oh. Given that it was your wife. I't read it out. I'm not gonna read it out. It was about meeting up with her and your sister in law anyway. But they called Ken they called him Ken the ugly one and then he got his revenge Because they lost their money and he became head of Sony Music or something. Did you really? They manager of Pink I find the oddly off and do better. Oh yeah business. How do you find? Why' you think that? Because I think good looking people have for so long that everything's been easy for them. And then when the looks start to go a bit and the hair disappears and this is m mainly Where has the ugly have been working forever They're already you know their fet are already moving. The good looking can become, I think they can become wealthy and successful if they trade off the looks and someone else is managing their career. Yeah Yeah, well there you go. Well they've done allright, the boys. got bless. Wait till all my exes see this, that's what I'm thinking. Well I'm thinking that that was what Jerry Halliwell said to me. I interviewed Jerry Halliwell and she said, what keeps me going more than anything in this business Isese all those girls that was horrible at school that were now living in council flats and working in factories. I said That's one of the most horrible things I've ever said What that's your motivation? Let's just enjoy what Let's not think o great other people have got terrible lives. I One of my favourite Rom one hundred Be she didn't she didn't just dress in white in those days. Iine she's new age. One of my favourite room one hundred ones I went to see when you were hosting it was when she was Catherine Ryers on, I think the same week as Jerry And she Catherine was saying she was single at the time. and she said, Every pot needs a lid, Katherine. Did she say that? Yeah, And Katherine said, I'm a wok, Jerry. That was a great response. That is a very good response. Pressure the woman. I've speaking of They u The ugly one, so to speak though. In other wors Heello, I'm sitting here. Iress off this sorry, I dressed off at times. I mean, Iven' got a name. I never you I was reading about hot podium Oh HPG. In case she don't know C I say first of all, I have a major problem with hot podium G. The idea is that when a prrime minister resigns, which is about once every Six months, it feels like Yeah. They have to stand and do a speech in Downing Street and this guy, I don't know what he job he can't just did the h. I mean I know's quite s. He's busy now.'s brushhing off his feet. He's a sound tech, isn't he? Is that what he is? Yeah. Well, I mean, not that I know anything about him. His name is Tobias Golf, He comes from Kenton and he's a sound engineer. Okay. I might have discovered on Google. What he does? is he brings out What is called the podium? It isn't the podium at all. It's a lecttern. Yeah. Yess're right, it's not a podium. The podium iss what you stand on. So really's hot lecttern guy. but that sounds a bit like the blou eat people in there Sence of the l. That's why they start call them on Lecton. Exactly ofolk turn? Yeah exactly. That's what they oght to call it. Well the overflow But there's two of them carry out. Is there another guy he's noting? He never gets anything. This is more. What I o, I call a horrible lector. That's true because this is real shade because I saw the video of minute together and it says hot podium guy and there's a big red circle around the hot guy. notothing for That' horrible. Can you imagine if we walked out of it today and it said hot Frank skkinner girl and there was a big red circle around you? I mean, it would be awful. It's like The clke is not he's not like asimodo,s not the other the ordinary looking guy. He just sit next to hot F them. We're all Cosing Modo next to HPG. Next to hoty Ball next HLJot hot leter guy. Yeah Yeah. but I So hang on, what's a When they say sound engineer, why is it always the same one? That's what I don't understand M a sound engineer brings a bloody leter They short st or something He should be doing the technical. I said if I pointed next door to where I a sound engineer and said, C you get me a chair from Spirit Ling? tellell me to fuck myself. So I don't know stop calling him a podium guy. Hot Lecton guy. Yeah, Hotable Lecton ye, I'm going to stick with that if it kills me Uh ye And why is he doing heavy shifting Heavy shifting. It should be. That's your version of heavy lifting.. I also like that people I don't remember Hot or notot, by the way. Hot or notot was the first internet like I really got involved in. In case you're too young to remember this or too old to remember it, I suppose. I always that when people say, you know, I'll never forget to die. and I think, well, we'll see. But see you in the care home. But hot or not, do you remember it, Rud? At the time because I would have been in my l Did you submit yourself? you were on hot or not? Oh got I wonder which one I pressed when you came off? I have black pixie cut so if you think there more Elvis leaning. did hot or not? Did you get told whether you would wear the you Oh ye, I remember what Did you? Yeah. You got your scores. Yeah. Oh fr It's a brute. If I had't now would have press more hots I know. yeah, you get well you get an average, you don't get Oh you don't get. I mean it's essentially what tinder is, isn't it? as? J just to say if you don't people never heard of it. a face would come up. you could pick men or women. There was just the two in those days Yeah. And so they'd come up and then you'd literally press the hot or the notot button on whether you thought they were attractive or not. It was a brutal business. I never knew they got feedback. They got Oh no. It feel a bit bad now. Well How many holts and how many nols do I? It was you got a percentage Oh no it was out of ten. So like you'll sit like botten tomatoes fresh or moto. you know, you are forty five percent hot. Yeah, that sort of thing. I seemed to remember I'm sure it was out of ten Yeah. Anway And you had half points as well. Yeah. That's heartbreaking. I don't want a half point. Give me a point or piss off. Anyway, so Kst armor is He hasn't actually gone. He's done that thing. I hate it when people go but they don't go. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like foootball managers when they say I'm leaving at the end of the season? Oh. It's like Am we now limbo. It's like those relationships that drag on as well Yeah when people say, Well, you know, we spob but we can't afford to move. Oh God'd rather live in the bloody street I tell you what, that makes me feel ill. that does when couples break up and they go, Oh We're living together. I'm in the spare room. I think it's all very amicable. Oh yeah, off course is. you're so middle class. You know, the worst thing I heard, Frank was our old plumber, family plumber And he said, yeah, well thing is I would split up with my wife, but we can't because of the alsacation That was the best excuse I heard. You won't let him out He said, We can't get divorced because of the outsation, it's cruel. wise it's been a mixed week for friend of the show George F Acres Because Richard Osmond suggested he would be the next doctor who. Right, Which is a good call. whichich is amazing, I think. But then well is ara isign, which has completely fuckped up his comedy career because that's what He surely got a burn him in his back pocket. It's his own fault. He's made him look ridiculous. He's got sack and now he's hoisted by his own pitar. Oh, that's a name George. his par. I love that. Yeah. Well my patar Gently hoist.

Yes Well, one of our, uh Listeners has a query for you. this is John England and by the way, we're recording. Yes. the die after Garland Plieder Well, I suppose one would have to turn a shit game. I think the Gardian described it as turgid. Yeah I have to say I had had just as a prayer as precursor to the I did a gig and then I got home. And anyway, I had a horrible argument with my wife Really Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. And so And so It was the England game I needed Because a really great performance would have been totally wasted on me. I don't think I would' have cheered if they'd scored. Honestly, I don't think I would. So what I really needed, it was like a continuing wallrow in misery. I understand that. Yeah It was Asolutely the right. I want the world to suffer with me. If they'd had played well, it would have been extremely in the fr It's I made it. I get it. Yeah. I thought Tank got this isue as well I know but I thought Anthony Barry, your friend. Oh. Fank was a big fan of Anthony Barry, weren't you in Any Barry is the England assistant coach. You came out. You wouldn't know it? in half time against Croatia If you're not into football, stick with me because he was just he did that thing where I'm just going to say exactly what I think about this. which obvious they schoolool out at them pretty quickly when they get to the Media training post. He did what I'm going to call a Frank skkinner He was just utterly honest. Yeah yeah, he was u He was brutal. It was brutal. But he was nicer last night, wasn't he? Which worried me that made me realize how bad things were John has got in touch. Can I just say something about last night There was a moment I really like this. You know, I love Dude Bellingham You do because he talks like ass room. I bet you like him too I love him. Yeah. So he was he got mad of the match and they said, how do you feel about this? He said, Wellre like, you know, I don't deserve it. But he said he obviously should have gone to one of their defenders. he said, But you know it's nice I shouldn't have got it, which is true. Yeah But they asked him about this tackle that he'd dg And he said, Well, I did it was a stupid tackle. He said Then all their bench got up trying to get me a yellow card. he said and I thought I recognize the manager used to be at Man United Yeah drop off in any of the preparation. I trying to him a yellow card. Hes, Oh, is's that bloke? I know it was him. It that It' not relevant. He used to be a manager of all the things that was happening and you might have got a yellow card in that. It was that moment. Oh, look who it is There's gott to be some of the most Black countountry responders. It is very black country. I am very fond of him. He said, I mean, obviously my heart belongs to Saka, but Jude's up there for me U John has said Hi, Frank Emily and this episode's Delightful Company. That's you R. Ltime reader Seven Mono reporting for Duty. Regarding Frank's Tent to hooks anxiety Prime dramas and such like. And well done for saying Tnder hook. I picked up on that. I've had a couple of people say Tnder hooks just slightly I bet you never picked them up on it. I think it's part of my advancing maturity that I have let it go a couple of times. Yeah. I mean, I think less of them I despise them for it. I in the old days, I would have said it's tender, actually, not tender. Well what I used to do, which is much worse and much less direct than you, which is unsurprising. a little bit more passive aggressive, Emmy Dean I will reuse the word again shortly afterwards in the Oh yeah. Well, I've done that with pronunciation. The brutal Birmingham mononastery, you know where you stand Well, like I say I'm fighting it now because if you remember my New Year's resolution was to be less of a So I do let things pass there a lot more than I do I didn't last night and that's one of the big argument before the fuckking England game. was once every I made the mistake of saying once every four years a World Cup and Ruin ruin this. Well that's like when you did say to Cath once when you had long No, she said to you ruin lives. It's the best thing she's ever said. They had an argument about her taking too long at the bar with friends and he was having to hold the seats. And he came back and said, I don't know what you said, but you ignored was having to hold seats Yeah I don't look I may not look at you and think I could have him if he if you Ohank You've got that suspicion from your dad with the sault in the pocket. I't everyone is doing that. And Kathy's response, which I think is the greatest response ever to a partner in a roow is you ruin lives. That's got history. There's law to that. Yeah. like I was kiding me It that you again is calm. you' ruined lives. Yeah Lives. The plural is what I enjoyed. I married I was going to ask you about the argument, right? because I had an argument with my mom this weekend and I want to know How do you and Kath resolve the argument? How did you resolve it the other night? Yes, is resolved now? Oh it's burning. I think. Oh God. Beause my mom just laay down on your side, Kath She lay on the sofa and pretended to be a sleep So she didn't have to listen to me anymore Do that would you try that? Onder onene of the few I tried I think of myself as a very honest man, but one of the things I have done I' over this several times Which is a deceitful thing, is pretended to be asleep. And sometimes I pretend to be asleep when I gain nothing from it. I just think, o I can't be I'm gonna pretend to be asleep. I don't even want to I just general chat. And I'm very self conscious about pretending to be asleep. think I bet this looks shit. Well I actually lie like this And sometimes I go know just to suggest that I But it's understand it. It's like you So all I'm thinking is shit I'm pretended to be asleep. I'm into this now. And I don't know if I'm any good at pretending to wake up. so I have to stick with it. think I can see I can see the appeal of that because it almost gives you this incredible sense of power Because no one knows it's like being an undercover cop or something. So exly like that.'s like It's like being what was that Irish looke He used to spy on people in TV shows? What was it called? Do you remember him? Yeah, hang on. Are you talking about Gate? Oh, no, sppy on people on TV. It was something Yeah. So we did things like younger around with these football hooligans and Donalel McIntyl. Donal Mc. That's That was the guy ye. Yes. He would always pretend he'd infiltrate gang. I don't remember him ever pretended to be a slleave This week on McIntyre investigates. Yeah Don all pretends to his wife that. Who would he be trying to infigate? Yeah I overheard I was spying on some people in a hostel I was pretended to be asleep Great, Telly, is it? And he's putting on little stripy pajamas and to the bottom I go Striy pajamas with all wires haing out of them with these sound footness. a little candlestick. Oh. Oh Oh. That's because he infiltrated the fashion industry. Yeah and found out that the model did ce. knowide. We couldn't believe it. Wow. must have been asleep And he had to invent he said, I'm calling from a magazine. It's called Polkaot magazine. Did he say that? I remember that's when he lost me. I thought No, D'al. No No fashion magazine is called Polka Dot. No. No that was heast s.t didn. He was a female poker player called Dot In fact, did you think it was like nineteen seventeen or something? I don't know. you also know I got with some football hooligans and found out they were racist. Without him we wouldn't know these things. I mean, given all this the sleep documentaries looking fascinating Yeah. Yeah. Do we want to finish with John? Yeahes, I mean, not finish with No yeah. You know what I mean Anyway As John was saying, he talked about this all started from your Tenterhooks anxiety in crime dramas and such like I was wondering this this is, you know what this is, is that When people are going through someone's drawers in their office and the person remembers that they left the file and they're. they're coming and they're going to get caught. I find that absolutely agronising. So all the president's men forget it. Oh're weird cameras that look like cigar cffers. You know that's they just pull it to one side and put it. I've never seen that camera anyywhere else in the world except when somebody at an office. Oh yeah, it's a special document camera. Why don't they just use the iPhones of ye Why not just use a camera? Wh ist that fucking thing they've got with a slidey? And they leave it so to the last minute guys. You can sometimes see the security walking down the corridor Yeah rightight outside the door. They're still taking the pictures. Yeah. And there's a frosted door as well Yeah Anyway, John continues. I was wondering, so given your feelings about crime dramas and the anxiety you experience, I was wondering if like me he also shares the same feelings When our goalkeeper Pickford comes right outside the box and is passing the ball around our defenders, drawing in the other team I literally cannot bear to watch Well this I need a little lie down, sorry, Frank, Just. thoughtought about it. John wants to know What is he going do presentious the back on. A good stress reliever. John's coming out the bar. I've never been brave enough to go Oh never. that that really. Oh is it golden or? It really out there when you go But that's because I don't believe anyone snores like that. I'veard I didn't used to believe in snoring and then then Some't believe in snor. What ethically? Well no. I just used to think people would exaggerate it for comic purposes. But then I've had some of my friend's husbands, as they get older, they fall asleep Frank in front of the tey It's unbelievable thes they come out with. I couldn't live with that. You're not a snorer, and I really respect. Well think I think I M when I've snored Cat, she just wkes me Y stight one. say you ruin my life. What does she say? You ruin lives lives. Little does she know m is actually a fl Anywayway you to John your thoughts? Do I get anxious when Pickford comes off his line as say This World Cup, I'm glad to get him out the way of the fucking goals. Well I think he's not at the best World Cup ever. He seems to be slapping and dropping Thomas Doole shouted at him the other day, didn't he? he said, Do what I told you. Did he? Yeah What does that mean not left any goals in? Yeah He does seem a bit more I love pickfur but this world copies just looked a bit ropey so far. Okay But do you ever get that feeling of dread? What's the feeling of dread with England? What's the thing about watching England? that you fought specifically in a match that you f other than penalty shoot. Obviously penalty shoots I'll tell you what I do worry about when you're chasing a light goal and somebody kicks across into the box and it goes straight to the goalkeeper. I agree that is the thing Anywhere, but not straight to the bloody goalkeeper. I hundred agree. But I think we're doing allright. I don't mind the odd Rob. You have to have some Robbishy draws in a tournament. That's just the. Well you've made me feel slightly better. And also there's lot He's always very comforting in these tournaments. I would say the trope for this World Cup is teams that we think of as not in the fin day and Yeah have been getting good results against the bigies. and that's the theme. So we're on we're on topic And also there was a gone in witch doctor called Nana. Did you hear about him who said he'd put a curse on the England team? Oh yeah And it worked. It worked. Well, he said he specifically put it on Harry Kaine It really work. Yurri Gella said he was gonna he said I will reverse the curse. Oh. reeverse the curse I like. You're down near Uurigella anymore, do you? What he said you wonder why? Well what he said was We know we know Once we know, he's got problems. He said I will use my powers to cancel the vibration. But you know, I don't think it worked. Nana was also responsible allegedly He's called Nana Yeah. Nana the Gone andwich doctor. for Ronaldo, you remember he had a dodgy knee? I think it was twenty fourteen or something? He said that was hit down to. Well, Ive I've got a car down knee Aardo. A caro delivered today and I was trying to get the bags indoors and I walked into the wall and I can still feel the pain in me. I understand. I'm not sure you could call that akardo neither. But you can blame akardo for walking into a wall. Well I was swarving. the thing is when akardo comes Dg go fucking deious. Soone'm I'm rushing to get the backagsent because the dog is just going mad. I bet she senses that it's food or she'll smell it when it arrives. That's like when you had a blummentile back When pass your control jumped on your bike, you never really forgave him for that No. sorry to bring you it. But then I think didid the fat dot close No, yeah, the fat do closed shortly afterwards and they had ph I contacted the guaran which dooppedor and said I sat on my back. C you fuck his restaurant off? You werein his life as well. Can you sit at his restaurant met before it look fantastic. Oh Nana, do you know what? I think we should all be he's like I think we should all be allowed one call to Nana. No Youve had yourr. Do you not like witch doctors? I don't want my wife to have that call at the moment. That Perhaps thats what's up to my knee Oh Look, can I say I love my wife very much and by the time this goes out, I'm sure everything'll be up. An'or MP. o.. Can I say I love my wife very much in this unfortunate incident? Well, it was all very unfortunate, but there we are. Okay. Well look This I bet you had a lovely Father's D, Frank Um, yeah Good Well That add is shoes as well, but let's not go into it It's this damnable heat? Oh why don't they come I was going to talk about the heat Can we just ret out this quickly? Of course. Because I don't want to leave Caroline and Keran from Suffolk hanging. Oh, I like Caroline and Keran. So do I from Suffolk. I feels like it onst. It wasn't the carpenters that said I know it was' it M's and the pap' Caroline and Kan and always let me. that was the carpenters', you're absolutely right They say they're cold of Oh yes Sorry, sorry you now they Nose he That was a bit like my dad used to, I'm afraid he did.

This is more of a visual thing, and I think we should put this on Instagram in a little carousel, maybe Be carousel. Carousel, someomeone has found a card. I wish I'd known about this card, evenven though my father's no longer with us, I would have found this to give to someone. As long term fans, imagine my joy when I found this perfect card for one of our sons to give to their dad I'm afraid they've called it hashtag niche It's a card of you and Dave. Okay Its said Dad, it's Father's Day. anotherother year of hurt Oh That's not very And then it ss No I'm al right with that. And then it says in parenthesis underneath to your finances. And there's a little picture. someomeone's done aure there's a lovely little cartoon of Frank and David in their England shirts, in their three nine shirts. This, I believe is available at some retailer. that sounds great 's a cartoon of Frank, Is it like a caricature I would describe it very much as the kind of, you know when you get those people on beaches, traditionally you think of people handing you people who have sand kicked in. We'll have a look at it here. What do you think? I don't think it looks too much like Frank. Okay. I was thinking is it gonna to look like Peter Capaldi? But drawings has I they always look like Dave and they never look like. Yes what is? I wonder Maybe yeah J just looking at this that. Now it's yeah. Anyway, we'll put it up there. but then it does look like d. Yeah, really do. I look like I might be in the Lord of the Rings I'm afraid I look like you might be on some sort of register. Yeah.
