And I like him. He's a good man. He is not a racist. I can tell you that he's a good person. And the latest from Nigel Farage, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. I'm a nutcase. Messages from last night. Christopher said, we were talking about boats and Donald Trump's likelihood that he's going to name one of them big boats after himself. It says Trump's ship will be bigger. In fact, it will be so big it won't fit in any ocean. It's going to be the biggest boat that anybody's ever seen. Catherine says, hi Nick, I don't know if you remember two shade turtle from the 1980s kids show, but every time I see Nigel Farage, that's what I think of. No, I do not remember that. I wasn't watching kids shows in the 1980s. Donnery Manchester says, I have fond memories of my childhood. None of my friends had dads. None of my friends dads had cars. Ken Dodds, dads, dogs, dead. But my none of my friends dads had a car, but my dad did. In the 1960s, he used to have a Hillman Minks. Oh, wow. It could only get worse if it was in mustard. In other news, it was a mustard colored Hillman Minks. From my bedroom, I could see right across the valley and see one exactly the same. Wow. My dad laid aboard a Hillman in dark blue. And the last Hillman he bought was Hunter. It was a hunter in red. That's way too many Hillman. That's about three too many Hillmans. In them days says Donna. There were no car radios. So my dad used to put his transistor radio on the back shelf. Oh, those were the days says Donna. Yeah, we didn't have nothing, but we was happy. We were talking about photography. I can't remember why. Paul says Nick four times in a short time frame, four times in a short time frame. Donald Trump. Oh, this has nothing to do with photography. This is about the Chagos Islands. You know the Chagos Islands. No. Four times in a short time frame. Donald Trump has changed his mind over the Chagos Islands. And every time he changed it, his cult fans on social media changed their minds to suit. It's getting ridiculous now. It is getting ridiculous now. Hey, Donnie, can you pick just one? And July in Cairo says something for your Trump bingo card Nick. This is a bit far out, but honestly it's not surprising. He will make he will make a part in the pleasure of allegiance for himself. I play a allegiance to myself. I wouldn't be remotely surprised. These are messages from last night. Man, he says I bought a mini about 30 years ago. It was an orange orange banger 400 quid driving at home. I whacked on the brakes at the first round about I skidded right across the round about luckily, luckily I survived to tell the tale within three days said many have been cut in half. The engine taken out and respite and mounted on a stand, which I still have today. Love the show. Love the book. Thank you for your attention to this message. What? Well, well, I have a myriad of questions. What have you done with the engine that's been respraiding mounted on a stand? I hope it's in the garage and not in your home. Because that will probably be a bone of contention. I bet your other after doesn't like that at all. I bet they are. Oh three four five six oh six oh nine seven three. Lusium. Hello, Valerie. Hello Nick. I loved your your car things. It brought back some memories for me. In the 50s and 60s when I was a little kid in the poor debt for nobody much had cars, but my neighbor's son had a bubble car. Do you remember bubble car bubble car? Yeah, the bubble car. They were completely glass at the front and you opened up the front of it. Yes, it was a three wheeler. Probably, I don't know. Probably. You didn't go out. You didn't you didn't count the wheels. No, I was only about six or seven. Oh, okay. Right. You could only count to two. I get it. The other side, the neighbor had a work, Laurie, which was a mini, a mini Laurie, a mini Laurie. I never heard of such a thing. Well, it's done this even then even though I was a little just didn't look right, especially if he was the size of desperate Dan, you know, getting into this tiny mini Laurie. Oh, I'm looking at a picture of one right now. That doesn't look anything like a mini. Well, not the one that I'm looking at. But we knew it was. Oh, this is a Suzuki. This Suzuki is not. I mean, I see it. It's where the artificial intelligence is not intelligent at all. It's stupid. I asked for a mini Laurie. And I'm okay. So it thought I meant small. Oh, not that. After all. Yeah. I'm fine. Okay. But it is third. A third story when I was driving myself. I got the human in which is actually very handy. That flip up rear window. Yeah, the rear window. Yeah, you could put long things in there to rest on the passenger seat at the front. That's right. And ladders. But I followed a group of basketball players at the time. And one of their other fans was the country's tallest man, Chris Greiner, who was seven foot six, who told me that he used to drive one. He took out the front seat and drove it from the back. Yeah. That doesn't sound like a great step forward in road safety to me. It doesn't does it. He was huge. Right. I should have got a bigger car. Well, yeah, maybe you couldn't afford it. I didn't think to ask him. I know that he went on tour with them to Paris. He didn't play. But they decided to take him to the red light district and all the ladies of the night were chasing him trying to offer him money. Oh, really? Oh, it was pleasant. And then we got left in the gutter. Valorant. Oh, I'm sorry about that. All right. Thanks a lot. Cheers, Maria. 0345 6060973. Imogen says my brother drove three passengers plus a double base up to London to play at Ronnies in an old-style mini, which my mum gave him in 1986. Three passengers and a double base in an old-style mini. That does not seem possible. And why, by the way, would anybody with all of the instruments that are available to them decide at presumably a very young age that the double base, which was probably larger than they were when they were a child, is the instrument for them. What is the thought process that goes through your mind when you pick an instrument that is bigger than you are as a child? I've always wondered why somebody would do that because you could, you know, for stringed instrument is your thing, you could have a guitar or a banjo. Would be a good idea. But a double base. I mean, I've seen kids struggling with those on the tube, you know, back and forth from practice or maybe they were just taking it out for a walk. That's possible. I always wanted to ask them what on earth possess you to choose that as your instrument, because it's the least mobile instrument there is, apart from a piano or a church organ, I suppose. But neither of which you have to actually take with you. They're there when you get there. It's probably the best instrument to decide to concentrate on. You don't have to carry it anywhere. I mean, if you've got a flute presumably, you could put it down next to you on the tube, but you might forget it's there and get up and get off. And then no, realize you're a big mistake once you've, you know, got off at St. John's Wood. But you can't forget a piano because you ain't taking it nowhere. Adam says, Nick, asking if Trump understands something is a waste of your time. I'm not convinced he knows how socks work. Hey, Donnie, do you know how socks work? Don't talk to me that way. Don't talk to, I'm the president of the United States. Don't ever talk to the president that way. Ever talk to the president that way? Preston, hello, Ian. Hello, how are you? Good, thanks. Yes, I wanted to talk about Trump or rather the orange oval orifice. Wow, that is so rude. Let me see. And his terrace being struck down. Oh, yeah. He called the ruling ridiculous and poorly written. American and traitorous. Exactly, which is something he couldn't claim of the art of the deal as he didn't write it. Although claims is a great business person might come under the former. Wow, you are really sending yourself up for a lawsuit, Ian. I think the Donald Trump is going to sue you for. 8,737,540,000. Approximately. But I was thinking, can you imagine the tantrum he's just had? Oh, yeah, huge. I mean, he could have saved on the bulldozers for the east wing of the Trumpstad. He could have waited for this. Yeah, he could have blown it down with the force of his fury. I think the Andrew situation is possibly making him sweat. Well, one of them is sweating, yes. One of them is sweating. No, that about that. God only knows what his next destruction is going to be. Well, I think that he's thrown ET at us. That hasn't actually come to pass yet, but that is on the way. It's very, very exciting. We're going to know everything about the extraterrestrials that we don't know already. Did he do something like that before? Wasn't that released in his career? Yes. A massive amount of information was released, and it didn't increase our knowledge of that affair. One Iota. Exactly. Or maybe he'll release more Epstein files. No, it won't. Probably not. They'll use a lot more ink. Maybe you spend, say, up all night of the shredding machine I don't doubt. But there's one more thing possibly not on your trump bingo card. Yes. I think he might do a runner or rather quit and have vans pardoned him for everything. He doesn't need to do that because he has been pre-pardoned for everything by the same Supreme Court that he is now calling Trature as an un-American. They have actually done that. Anything that he does, either in the past, in the present or in the future, he has been given a get out of jail free card. Amazing. He's the only person on earth who can do anything and get away with it. We shall see. Yeah, we shall see. We'll see. All right, sounds like a threat. All right, thanks a lot, Ian. Here's that story. President Donald Trump has hiked worldwide tariffs to 15% after the Supreme Court ruled his reciprocal tax plan was unconstitutional illegal against the law. And as you would expect, the president of the United States of America acted presidentially. I can be more presidential than anybody. It furiously by the high courts ruling. Donald Trump ordered an immediate 10% tariff on all imports in addition to any existing tariffs citing a different law as the basis. And then maybe he wasn't burped after dinner or malaria locked the door to her wing of the White House or maybe he received an insufficient amount of flattery today. But he obviously got grumpy and increased the 10% to 15%. Now they, poor Americans, pay 15% on anything that is not made wholly in America. I make $400 million a year. So what difference does it make? I mean, he's just plucking numbers out of the air at this point. And it must be an absolute nightmare for anyone in and out of Americans to try to figure out how to do business with this incompetent clan in the White House. Throwing rules around like a chimp. Like a chimp chucks its poop. Don't talk to me that. Don't talk to, I'm the president to the United States. I've ever talked to the president that way. The new tariff is being applied under the same 1974 trade act, which allows the president to increase levels up to a maximum of 15%. Or whatever number happens to have fled across his brow. And that law, by the way, the 1974 trade act was written when Richard Nixon was the president of the United States of America. Hard to think that tricky dicky used to be the low watermark of American presidents. I mean, how far has that country fallen? At this point, I think a bucket of chicken would do a better job as the leader of the US. And he hid out of the Supreme Court justices because, you know, of course he did. You might as well ask a baby not to cry. Their ruling was on a basic principle of law that he doesn't have the authority to start tariffing countries like a mafia Don doling out protection for cash. Trump said their ruling was anti-American by which he means anti-him. And that the judges had been disloyal and unpatriotic, that the judges on the Supreme Court owed him loyalty. He is like a mafia Don doling out protection for cash. Absolutely. And he took a particular issue with Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, both of whom he appointed as though because he put them in court that they should just agree with everything he wants. This would mean no respect. What have I done that you show me such disrespect? Hey, Judge Amy. Hey, Judge Neil. Don't go out on any boat with Al Neri or turn your back on Luca Bratzi. And definitely do not go to an Italian restaurant with Michael Corleone. Capiche. 0345 6060973 text 84850 email Nick A at lbc.co.uk. If you are on WhatsApp, it's the same number as the phone. 0345 6060973. Listen to him. He knows everything. Laura says Nick, can you swap surnames with Nick Fuente? It's much sexier. Well, that is actually true. Fuente is verifiably a sexier name than Abbott. There's nothing sexy about Abbott. Just ask a nun. 0345 6060973. Nottingham. Hello, Scarlett. Hello. Scarlett. Hi. My grand, she calls herself "Nucky Grand." Oh, yeah. She told me about your podcast, what's your problem? With Karamagiffin. Yeah. Yeah, with Karamagiffin. Yeah. Yeah. And I think they expect to get into it, but now I listen to it all the time. Although I'm only 12, I find you and Karamagiffin mentally funny, and I listen to you every night, because it's now my absolute favourite podcast. Your 12 years old. I am 12. Congratulations. You made it. Well, I'm not sure that the podcast that I do with Karamagiffin is appropriate for a 12-year-old. It is. Is it? That's not your grand. Right. Well, you may have noticed that we haven't been on. We haven't been doing the thing for a little while. We're coming back in the middle of March. We're taking a break from each other because we can only stand just so much. I mean, I just wondered, the only thing I was confused about is, well, what, do you never have any photos taken? Well, Karam takes enough photographs of herself for both of us combined. If I took photographs in addition to Karam taking photographs, then we'd run out of room on the internet pretty quick. Because my grandson's the one that got me into it. Would you mind if you just said hello, because he's listening? Yes, absolutely. Hello, Grown. Hello. Yes, one more. Hello. With feeling. Excellent. My name is Joy, actually, apart from Nitty-Glam. Is it? It is. And you're an absolute treasure because you're so normal. Norm, how dare you call me Norm. I've never been called normal in my life. I am outraged. Because if you're an abit normal like me, then Norm is wonderful. Yeah, I'm very disappointed with your grand child there, by the way. I blame the parents. How about you? All right, thanks a lot, Nitty. And thanks a lot, Scarlett. If indeed those are your names. Preciated. Yet me and Karam, we do a podcast. Yeah. And we have over 300 episodes of the podcast that we've done. I mean, there are over 300. I think it's getting on for 350. An amazing amount of work we've got up there. And if you wish to be amused, if you just want to take your mind off, all of this, this, everything that's swirling around, you just want to get a little mental holiday in. Then I do believe it will be right up your alley. It's called, "What's your problem with Nick and Carol?" In which Karam are given a night, try to solve people's problems while laughing at faces of it. Ask her by name on an internet near you. What's your problem with Nick and Carol? Now, ordinarily you get to email your problem in and we'll sort it for you. But like I said, we're taking a short break. But there are about 330 episodes there to enjoy in the meantime. And we'll be back about the next month, middle of March, something like that. Gosh, practically March already. Can you believe that time just ticks on, don't it? Adam says these are messages from last night. Oh no, that's the Donald Trump doesn't know how socks work. Dave says, "I'm sick of politics, so I'm starting a new party called regurgitate." Well, I think Faggash has beaten you to it. I think it's, I was going to say, "mand," but it's "human'd" would be a more accurate description. It's "human'd" with those that have been regurgitated. All over them. You believe that. Paul Nigel, oh, he's out there spotting boats. He's all heart. Right. Usman said, "Since AI is going to take our jobs, let's start by making it fix all the part holes." That is an excellent idea, yes? Negative. No, it doesn't like it. Doesn't like that idea at all. South Shields, hello, Joanne. Oh, good evening, Nick. Are you well? Yes, very well, thanks. Nick, do you like musical theatre? Yes. Do you like Christopher Guest movies? Yes. Including "Spinal Tap Two." I haven't seen "Spinal Tap Two." Don't bother. Brian, that's what people say, yeah. I have something else, which I think you and the listeners will love. Go on. Going to Google found footage fest. Cliff Richard, he's Cliff. I have to Google his four times to check it was real. Obviously, the team for "Spinal Tap" couldn't do a better job. Cliff Richard is doing his ride. Yes, it's in the '90s. It's his production. It's his version. He's got the accent mixed up between Deep South America and Yorkshire. And he's very very dirty. That's really funny. It's really good. I'm looking at a my glamour assistant has pulled up a is that Cliff Richard blindy it was a bit very rugged I would not have guessed that was him if I had sat here from now until the end of time it looks a bit like Prius Bros. yeah it looks like Prius Bros. has been stranded on a desert island for six weeks and then has been dragged through a hedge backwards. What if you listen to the lines and he tries to add ways I honestly thought it's a spoof I thought suddenly nightlights been on to this Christopher guest and aside from that quickly can I say for people who like photography and like the last Google the caravan gallery it's like Martin Power but with a dash of humor. Well Martin Power has got no end of humor it's got loads of it in space but yeah yeah but you said that it's like Martin Power with a dash of humor but there's no end of humor in Martin Power's word. That's true I got that wrong. This is non-professionals. No this is professional sorry but Joanne you are all over the place. I am really mixed up about. Do you guys do you photography and paint and never? And you learned nothing. Yeah I just look at just with Cliff Richard in it. Yeah okay well I it sounds like homework you've just given me and so I'm gonna think about that very strongly and come to the conclusion that no I do not want to look at anything of the sort. I mean I respectfully Richard because of his longevity I mean that man has been in the in this business for so long but I wouldn't actually rush to go and see any of his work. Just not my thing. A devil woman was a pretty good song other than that can't think of anything. Jamie and E. Sussex says I'd love to know what car you have. I have an alpha Romeo says Jamie. He's like showing him showing me his or I'll show him mine. I've got a a black car Jamie. I don't actually it's another it's not a black car it's another color. There are that's a full and frank disclosure Stephen says I'm the editor of a Voxhall Classic Car magazine and I'm the weakest man alive. No Stephen you aren't for the above reasons of Voxhall Classic Car magazine. How many pages is that got there are no classic Voxhall cars. I bet if I asked the world wide wait for to show me a picture of a classic Voxhall car it wouldn't be able to do it. I'll ask it by using my mouth not my thumbs. Voxhall Classic Car see what it comes up with. Oh wow okay so I was wrong. But that's a very very old car. I mean that's an ancient oh well Voxhall. Okay I take that back but they just look like shrunken American cars apart from the really really old one. You know we're doing the 1970s we had the like Ford Capri and stuff like that we sort of tentatively dabbled in fins but not to the extent that Americans did or that our American style cars looked like American cars that had been put through a tumble dryer they were just much and much smaller and much less exciting to look at. I suppose if we didn't have the space you know roads over here are microscopic very very thin and they weave and they wind in America I think you could pretty much drive for years without needing to turn a corner. I think that's an actual fact. James in Ealing says I can't believe all the callers who aren't photographers claiming to have photography solved only to insist it's all burst photography as in you take a lot of pictures all in one second and then pick the best one. These are messages from last night by the way if you're thinking what north has this got to do what we've been talking about already nothing at all. It says I think people owning iPhones have convinced them that low effort nice looking postcard shots constitute artistic endeavor people weren't like this when graphical graphical calculators first came out no one suddenly thought that trigonometry was easy and subsequently thought that they had solved maths. Well okay I do remember the first calculators that came out they were an absolute fortune and my dad got me one and to this day I still don't have any idea what 90% of those buttons are for. It's absolutely festooned with buttons and knobs and things like cosine and I don't think anybody even knows what a cosine is. Six sixes a 52 it's perfectly simple just learn your multiplication table it's easy an idiot could do it. O3456060973 text 84850 email Nick a at lbc.co.uk if you are on WhatsApp it's the same number as the phone. O3456060973 are you trying to tell me this is your act? Yes and coincidentally Malcolm last night texted the following is this the real Nick Abbott show yes I'm afraid it is yes this is it you're listening to it right now Daniel says two questions are we still talking about Jeffrey Epstein and does Andrew still insist he's done absolutely nothing wrong just asking questions as Daniel and Jake in hails Owen says the whole world of politics is in turmoil and we need political experts to guide us through all of this mess but unfortunately they're all too busy either driving taxes or cutting hair yeah that's right they're very same people who say you know whenever a football a footballer says anything political I say well what do you know he wants to stick to football they're the very same people give us no end of their opinion and they aren't political experts they're busy driving taxes or cutting hair exactly same people who shout about Gary Neville will stick to what he knows I'm giving us the benefit of what they don't know in large amounts if only hairdressers had that same button that sorry about this cabbage you might want to put your fingers if it's safe to do so put your fingers in your ears and hum to yourself for a couple of minutes if only hairdressers had that button that they have in the back of black calves that turns the microphone off and then you can't hear the driver anymore I'm just saying it would be a positive addition to the barbers that's what I'm saying 0345 6060973 Croydon Venke Venke hello yes sir hi how are you good thanks great show Nick thank you thank you for taking my call thank you for making your call I had sort of two points and they are color coded couple three points yeah yes one is an orange point and one is a sort of green point a greenie point that's correct I'll start with the orange point so I was in the US for three weeks starting from Jan not for pleasure had to go there for work and I was in a I was in three states actually I was in wagers I was in Florida and sort of New York New Jersey yeah you know that Vegas isn't a state but never mind well yeah Nevada better was in Vegas yeah how much did you lose in Las Vegas I didn't right that's a wise decision yeah who is on the the the fabo dome or whatever they call that big I yeah yeah who's on that yeah I was I was oh it was the there was a musical going on there what was it called I don't know you ask you me for now it's it's a musical is the one with the green hat the the witch thing oh the witch thing yes I've walked out of that I actually saw another much more riskation in at the plaza oh no see no see indeed it was much better but yeah there was one of those the I think but the I think it's just wonderful to look at yes I mean you know I'm disappointed that I'm going to build one here because they they were going to build one here I mean it was going to be out in a Greenwich you know sort of out there on the peninsula whatever they call it but I think the locals the people who had been persuaded that it was a good idea to buy flats there they're probably ruined that decision now I don't know but they said you know if we we might object to having something that's that's that bright off our balconies 24 hours a day and I can understand their point now it is I could see it from the from Buddha you can see it from space yeah it's just it is so bright and it changes color yeah in the night you get the moon and in the morning it sort of goes into the you know starts becoming bright and sunrise yeah yeah yeah yeah it's it's just ginormous really yeah um no I forgot my point yeah you color coded them so that you will remember what you were going to say first orange then green remember correct the orange point uh. and this was when i was there uh. this was the time when the uh. the orange one was just talking about talking over the elections you know he had this idea that uh. uh. you know he's gonna nationalize the election so that everybody uh. that where they cast a vote they handed that vote to donald trump personally and he decides whether it gets put in the big box yeah that's right and so he had this thing you know it was only on the news everywhere obviously uh. and when i landed in florida and you know as you know in florida most of the tv stations are tuned to kind of newsmax and fox news and you know that those dingo link channels the this topic was being discussed and the way they were discussing this it was they had all of the talking points all of the commentators had talking points the republicans are very clear this is the best way of doing things and why they should be doing things and you know blah blah blah blah and yeah it was you know none of this thing about you know stateside uh. states right it's amazing all of the all the republicans uh. everything that they ever believed in has been just dropped by the wayside on uh. on the uh. the mirror suggestion by donald trump that the we don't want to do that anymore and uh. you know all of their principles they've just uh. they've just abandoned like old clothes it was i mean it was astonishing every single channel that was in there all of the right thing guys they all had their they all had everything ready to go it was you know it was clearly a plan we we we we want to take over the uh. elections uh. for your safety yeah it was literally like that now i flew over to uh. uh. to new york from there and in one of those you know in it over there you get sort of other channels as well and i was listening to sort of msn i think it's called ms now these it used to be called msnbc and they call it ms now yeah and that's a little bit more sort of more real uh. as in it's it's got you know other than the the republicans you get the democrat guys coming in there as well and the contrast was astonishing now here you have the senior democrat um. talking about sort of section five and amendment fourteen and which says hey you know you can't do this because basically doing the republicans job for them because they have uh. all removed their spines and prostrated themselves in front of orange jesus for him to use them as a dormat and the the the way they were discussing this it almost felt like they're thinking was that this is some sort of a gentlemanly disagreement on constitution uh. yeah i know it's just it's infuriating the the the democrats that were the left in in general they really need to get that act together because they are always always after bringing a book of poetry to a knife fight i mean you you were listening i was listening to this with open mouth and like are you even here yeah exactly i read the american press and it's just absolutely infuriating they just don't understand what is happening to them it's a coup is is not in pretending otherwise now he is taking over your country it's already too late so just do something do do anything i mean it is literally do anything but you know don't come in there and don't talk as if this is some sort of it's all normal yeah yeah i think they're things are gonna change when they when they you know after the next election hey uh uh uh hey americans there's not going to be a next election i have this fight with i have this fight with Simon Marx all the time Simon Marx is obviously his excellent u_s_ correspondent and i keep telling him you know don't sleep in the same place twice take the sim card out of your phone and don't make any contact with anybody and uh you know don't leave any trail behind you don't use credit cards always cash you're in great danger Simon i keep telling him that yeah anyway the green point the green point um this i heard about this actually i heard it on catch up um i think it was your sunday show uh where you were talking something serious and um it was perhaps uh it was rose from uh from from from from taverstock and you were talking about you know the green stuff you were talking about weed yeah um and she went on about something around you know giving paranoia was it was a little bit of a uh uh uh it was a hot sort of discussion and one of the kind of i have realized yes you know hot in the sense she she she went yes yes one of the things i realized is i think it's because the you know folks like rose and i don't obviously i don't know who she is but folks like her have really not been to one of these sort of salubrious type parallels that they have in the u_s_ now well it's not just the u_s_ that everywhere apart from here pretty much we are so behind the curve was far as almost all of our major western competitor countries it's just extraordinary that we're still pretend we still got this pretence that we can win the war on drugs the war on drugs was lost about 50 years ago and the the way that they have done this and even in places which you know you would consider to be sort of generally uh conservative in the u_s_ yeah it's you know it is these are well-lighted and sort of air conditioned and really nice you know places you walk in there it is like you know you you're in a cafe right to down you know they tell you there are people who come and guide you you know what would you like to do you know would you like to have some like being like being in a cafe would you like to see the menu exactly that and it is just completely normal and you know people were walking around and you can denver color around and you know what people are doing it there and people are doing it here it's just the differences that people over there know what they're taking people over here don't know what they're taking until they've taken it and even more is the loss of tax I just don't know yeah I mean exactly right yeah I mean we are in want of money honey and there's a vast amount of it out there all we've got to do is take it and the government seems to be refusing to just pick it up amazing and it's not as though they're not and it is not as though there's uh not any examples near here you could see other countries with your naked eye from here that are uh uh uh uh given up on the this ridiculous war on drugs the war we did have a war on drugs guess what drugs one all right thanks a lot thank you oh three four five six oh six oh six oh six oh nine seven three yeah the drugs one a donny I know more about grass than any human being I think anywhere in the world anywhere in the world you know it's more about grass than anybody anywhere in the world of it just just on that what kind of a put ever in your life heard anybody say that they know more about anything than anyone and it doesn't really matter what the subject that hand is he knows more about whatever it is that you're talking about than anyone have you ever in your entire life heard anybody say that out loud and he says it about everything he knows more about grass I mean mentally it's not that kind of grass he was talking about or was it I've got no idea who can tell what he's talking about I bet he doesn't even know I know more about grass than anybody and the things that he doesn't know about well I mean they're not really worth knowing magnets magnets now nobody knows what magnets are I don't believe I've ever met him I'm pretty sure I didn't meet him and I just don't know anything about him just doesn't know anything about me George says Nick I am thoroughly cheesed off the USA is becoming unrecognizable people are still believing that Farage is just like them and a good guy to share a pint with and the raw family is going to pot but to top it off we lost we lost the curling please please make it better curling yeah that's one of those sports that nobody's remotely interested in unless it's got the Olympic rings appended to it I mean outside the Olympics when did you last watch curling never right but it's suddenly you're gripping the nation like it's the most exciting thing that anybody's ever seen it's just it's a bit like snooker but less pleasant to look at and even slower I don't really get it I mean I do kind of get it's a bit like meditation isn't it your brain goes into sort of come of an exacto is it an alpha wave it's probably an alpha wave James says hi Nick did you hear that did you hear Trump during his tariff herty speech saying saying that a big powerful man wanted to kiss him he only mentioned it a couple of times so I'm sure he's not been thinking about it much well was he was he a white guy because I'm doing great with black men doing great with black men I don't know how he's doing with with white men so maybe it was a black man that he was thinking about kissing hey malaria your husband is thinking about kissing men I don't care she's not that bothered oh three four five six oh six oh nine seven three Bodmin hello Malcolm Malcolm them. This is welcome in Bodhmin and thank you for having me on your great show. Well, appreciate it. Thank you. I've been on LBC before with legends like Nicholas in the morning and James in the morning. Yes. And yeah, I am talking to you late at night. Right. Do you ever sleep? Nicholas, can I thank your great call is refusing to answer the question? Go ahead. Nicholas, wait. I thank you. So great call last night for recommending my name and say Malcolm is right on everything. And yeah, he is. I don't recall anything of the sort happening on this super show. No, but you you don't recall anything because you are always sleeping in the class. Always sleeping. Yeah, straight through the show is excellent time having that. Very very warm and quiet in here. Nick, this is a great show and I love you. And I know all of your call is Malcolm. Have you been drinking? No, is that is that a yes? No, and that's why I'm calling Nick. I'm calling you because I just have to say to you that whales were very good at rugby today. We love rugby. Please tell me less. Yeah, I'm a third. Moorthor kid, real. In Wales. Yeah, is it great place? Is it is it? What's so great about Muthetidfall? Jeff. No, come on. Something else. Yeah, all right. The Hoover Factory. The Hoover Factory. Okay, is it? Is it a an art deco? Facilicy. Architecture, right? And I'll look, but let me give another one. The art deco building in Plymouth, right, which didn't fall from you, which I lived very, very close to. Yeah, in God. Right in Middle Plymouth, not Middle Bay, but not far from that. But, obviously called the art deco building the habitat. Oh, the habitat building. Yes. In Plymouth, Nick, which was the most stunning and you look at it now from Google Earth. Nick. It is beautiful. Nick. I'm going to ask you that question one more time, Malcolm. I want to give me a full and frank answer. No, I'm Nick. Really? No, so, yeah, it really makes me. There are, okay, a bottle or so. A couple of three bottles. Shoes. Yeah. But Nick, look, my man. Stay on the air. Yes. Stay with us. I'll just keep on doing what you do. I'll keep on keeping on. Thanks a lot to Malcolm. That is excellent advice. Appreciate it. Thank you. Natasha says, in the '60s, my parents used to put their suitcase on the back seat of their little mini-cooper. With me, pushed on top, drive to Lid Airport and put the car on the plane to France. What? Is that allowed? Did you have to book premium economy to get the car on the plane? Huh. Milly says, "I was taught the French horn, not because I wanted to play the French horn, but because it was the only instrument the school had and my family took poor, took poor to bite word to poor, maybe, to buy anything better than a recorder. Why anything's better than a recorder?" I mean, those things are painful. Well, at least, whenever I've heard a recorder being played, it was painful, but that's because tiny children are the only ones that play recorders, making them painful. I mean, they could probably make a delightful sound. I don't know. I've never heard one do that. The French horn. Well, that's a bit big. And it's a bit of an exotic instrument for the school to have only that as available for you to play. Maybe it was the last thing on the list that everybody else had refused. No, I don't want to play that. I want to play the recorder, they thought, or the flute. I mean, if you're going to pick a musical instrument, then this is excellent advice. Pick one that's easy to carry because you're going to be carrying it a lot. Mark says, "Another Trump bingo card. He will threaten Brazil with 100% tariffs unless they replace the statue of Christ of the Redeemer with the statue of himself." Yeah, I think that is on the list already. Not necessarily that specific, but he is going to require a very, very large statue of himself in gold replaced somewhere public. Tom and Plymouth says, "Trums releasing the alien files coming soon. Beautiful aliens, the best. Nobody's ever seen aliens like this. Yes, well, I wonder what's going to come of that if anything at all. It's just one of those things that he says, maybe off the top of his head and nothing comes of it. You have lodged the promise that we're going to be getting a lot more information about ET. I'll come to that in a minute. There's so much to talk about. There's Liz Truss' new club. Liz Truss has got a new club. Can you believe that? She's trying to get members. Anybody want to go? No. Yeah, it's a no for me. Not that I'd be invited, but if I was, I'd say no. I wouldn't even say no thank you because, you know, to hell with it. Being polite is not necessary at all times. Be polite. I just won't. Cliff in Bulgaria says, "Nic, Trump's brain was analyzed. The left side is not quite right. The right side has nothing left." A listener with material. Oh, no. 03456060973. East Yorkshire. Hello, Mike. Hi, how are you doing? Yes, good. Thanks. Good. Good. A couple of bits and then just it went on the war on drugs as well. But I read this week that Liz Truss, I was aware she'd set up her own TV channel on YouTube or other. And then there was a report this week. She's been 21. I think she said, "In average, worldwide viewing figures are 8,000." 8,000. Wow. Wow. Can nobody ask this one why you're still speaking? Yes. I wonder if any of this actually gets through to her, because she seems to be completely dissociated from what an ordinary person in the street might call reality. It's worse. I don't know what else she can say of the map. No. She doesn't seem to have any comprehension of how she is observed by others, what people think of her. To which you just carry on regardless. I mean, you have to have a kind of respect for that to just blast through everybody else's complete disinterest. I mean, she appeared on TV on one of those American conservative conflict things. Right. And one of the cameras downed her. There's nobody there. (Laughter.) She did, she did. Yeah. Well, they probably thought, well, you know, there's an enormous crowd outside and they couldn't physically squeeze through the door. They all tried to get through the doors at the same time. And Laurel and Hardy's style, they got stuck between the door posts. And that's why nobody has actually got in. Probably something like that, yeah. Do you keep going there Liz? I'm sure it'll all work out for you eventually. (Laughter.) The other bit was on this bulb. It was on question time this week. And it concerned something that I'd figure it out from press conferences, because I used to be mates with a guy who amurized police interview tapes. And then he gave his opinion on whether the suspect was lying, showing the truth or whatever. And he told me quite a bit of stuff. And I was watching, generally, on question time. And he's a good performer. He can lie after all this stuff. He's like, "Oh, the baby, blam." But whenever he had to say something like, Nigel has decided that. Oh, Nigel has told us that. Yeah. Is Joe Stiffen, is Shilda Stiffen, which is that indication of anger? It's a tale. Yeah. I'm having to play second fiddle. Well, I would like to play poker with Robert Generick, with that, armed with that information. And the other thing was when you go up to the press conferences that were given to Laurel. He was speaking and then somebody would ask the question. And Farage failed to leave the question. Yeah. He was, he was speaking. It was his flaw. Yeah. But he wasn't being allowed to. Right. Yeah. If you get through three and a half years together, I'll be stunned. Yeah, I think there may be trouble ahead. Yeah. And he couldn't have to a nicer couple. All right. Thanks a lot, Mike. Excellent news. 0345, 6060, 973. Let's see. Squeeze one in. Let's see. 2, 1, 2, 1. People are sending me books, like at least pamphlets instead of a couple of lines. Sully says, please don't insult chimps or animal creatures with trump. I can barely consider him a meaver or cyclops and their pond life says gully or selling food. Well, that's a bit rude, but right on the nose. 0345, 6060, 973. "Oh, I've got your Beckham family update on the way." And I like him. He's a good man. He is an outer racist. I can tell you that. He's a good person. Thanks, Tony. You're the best. You're the best worst president ever. Matt says, "Hi, Nick. Does Melania care about Trump's tariff fiasco?" Matt just wants me to play that Melania clip. And I'm not going to do it. It's not a request, Joe, Matt. Let's have Ipswich Phil. Nick, you've been on my mind in my head for the last week or so. Yeah. Because who it's ago, I had a brief conversation with you about an age old subject who is it okay to like creative artistry from people who you don't like? Yes, yes, yes, yes. You have to take the art from the artist. Otherwise, you know, music radio will be silent. And galleries would be nothing but wallpaper. Well, my thing is books. I know it's not your thing, but I love books. I read a lot of them and I collect them and everything else. And the thing that triggered me to call you up was that I was booked to go and see and also, I'm trying very hard not to name them. Yeah. And their work is actually very good. I have enjoyed several of their books and I think their writing is genuinely very good. But they're awful. And I went and I went to an event with them here the night and I was sitting there listening to about 45 minutes of almost uninterrupted far-right racist clap trap. Well, you okay, but you're not differentiated. You're not taking the art from the artist. You're taking them both at the same time. Well, they were talking about their new book, which was, which is, I mean, that's very good. Not giving us even the sex of the person. I'm trying hard not to. Yeah. I mean, it's not going to narrow it down very much, you know? No, I know. But your glamour is resistant also to warmly not too well. Okay. I was kind of determined not to anyway. All right. But the event. I wonder if my glamour's assistant can put their name up on my screen so I can, I at least I know who we're talking about. I didn't even tell the glamour. Oh, okay. Right. Anyway, so I'm listening to this event and the author is talking about their work, except what they're actually talking about is immigration. Oh. And and because of the nature of the event, it was basically just 45 minutes of almost uninterrupted right wing gibberish. Yes. And I was reminded of these years and years ago, there was an episode of any questions with Daniel Hammond talking right wing gibberish and max Hastings. And after, after Hammond had said his nonsense, max Hastings said, that's fascinating. That's I've never heard so much pure right wing thought completely and utterly unaffected by reality. It's wonderful. Thank you for saying that. But by the end I was feeling sick. I'm genuinely sick. Well, why would you, why would you, knowing that person's opinions, regardless of whether they are a good rise or not? Why would you subject yourself to that person rather than just enjoy their writing? Because I collect books and I collect first editions and I really wanted that signature on the best known book, which I got. OK. So I did all that. And I mean, it was the thing that turned my stomach. You kind of used them saying, oh, I'd get rid of the ECHR and I denied it. I was used to wrap this and stuff. That they want to scramble your quality act and end the asylum system, all of it, just all asylum. Yes. I wonder what, you know, if they were allowed to do all of that. And all of the things that those right wingers say that we need to, because firstly it was, oh, both for Brexit and then all of your lives will be improved dramatically. And then Brexit came and went. They said, oh, well, they didn't work because of, you know, outside forces beyond my control or it's somebody else's fault or it's because, you know, the wind wasn't blowing correctly that day or because they keep coming over here. There was always some reason why what they said would work. Why what they said would work didn't work. And so I wonder if they gave, they were given 100% control to do all of the things that they want. Would they then stop complaining? And I know that the answer is no, they would not. They wouldn't absolutely not. No, because as you said, they want everything. They want every vote, every election. And they're still complaining. Complain and complain and complain. Stop whining. So did you get the autograph? I did. Did it increase the value of that book, any? Yes. Did it? OK, well, job done. I'm not really bothered about that, because I just like having them. Yeah, I did. It's something that I said. It's a memento of a hideous afternoon spent in their company. It really was hideous. And of course, what we need to have is more young women need to have babies. Yes. And what we need to know is why. Yeah, whether they want to or not. Exactly. OK, got to go. Thanks a lot, Phil. Yeah, have to take the art from the artist. Don't even think about it. Because I mean, I was listening to the radio coming up. And somebody came on who I have always liked their work. But they had enough said some stupid things lately. One of those people that just said a lot of stupid things lately. And they've said a stupid thing about it. And they continue to disappoint me over and over again. It's a bit different for a rocker, because you expect them to be a bit relaxed about life. But this bloke, as I suppose with everybody else, mostly they get mostly-- they get more and more right wing as they get older. But I wouldn't have expected it from a rocker. But this bloke, he keeps given his opinion about what Brexit was going to be like and then about the blooming vaccines and the lockdowns. And there was some knee-jerk right wing opinion that flittered across his brow that he didn't say out loud. Then I'm unaware of it. And I thought, can I listen to this bloke's music anymore? I thought, yes, actually I can. Because I just ignore all of the stupid things that he says. And just concentrating on all the great music he's made. Problem-a-solved. Rock 'n' roll! 0345, 6060, 973. Let's see now. York. Hello, Jan. Hello, Nick. Jan, I am great, maize. Good. Before I say what I ran off about, when I was a kid, we had a full dang clear. Right. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Like an American car, but shrunk. Well, yeah, I'm just looking up now when it said it fit to the medical inspired styling. Yes. That is something I will never know. Talk about the slow down, clear. The fins at the back. And it was so tentative and almost embarrassed, we were in this country, taking some of those design cues from American cars of the '50s and '60s, which just went so over the top. I mean, I think the most over the top car that has ever been designed, I think it was the 1959 Cadillac Deville. I may have got some of those details wrong, but it was the one with the massive fin on the back with two red lights, one either side of the fin that looked like the engines on a rocket. Absolutely sensational car. And we looked at that. The designers of British cars looked at that and thought, well, it's going to be half as long because those cars, they had two doors and they were as long as a bus. Absolutely huge. So we got to shrink it by at least 50%. And we're going to take those cues, those design cues for the fins. And we're just going to have a little, almost embarrassed, little thing on the back of our car, just so we don't to upset the vicar. That's right. Yeah, that's something I would never have thought of. When my dad got the ball down here, I thought, oh, no. I can't, we have something better. But what would have been better at that point? I mean, was the Rover TC 2000 not available? Because I think that that was the best car that my family ever had. It was almost as though my dad by accident bought a classic car because it was the only great car we ever had. It was a racing green Rover TC 2000. Look at that. That is a classic. Now we're looking so. And I was shocked at the price of the Ford Angus as well. $600. $600. Yeah. Well, I mean, I bet it would be considerably more than that now. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah. Anyway, what around us about? Right. We call Boris Johnson Bodger. Bodger, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where were we? Yeah, the day I found out a Bodger can be something else. It's a wood turner. I was. A wood turner. Did you know that? What's a wood turner? Well, they used to make chair legs. Yeah. On a laze. Yes. But they did it all by hand. And they used to-- these are traditional wood turners. And they used to work in the woods. was it a traditional pole. Yeah, and it made chair legs. So which bit was the Bodger? The the the the the shop doing it. Oh the bloke was the Bodger. Yeah. He was using a lathe in the wood. Curiously, he was in the woods. Now why would he do that? Why was he doing it in his shed? One would be a dint, how we showed? We're going back, we're going back a few years now. Oh right, they were, yeah, they they were bereft of sheds in the old days. Exactly. Yeah. New invention. That is something I would never have sought, bodyshields and could do. What do you think? A wood turn, I think you can do anything. Man, can't even can't even dress himself. Well, we know we can clean chairs, don't we? Actually, no. We know that he's once seen somebody else clean a chair and made an approximation of it or what he thought was close, but I don't believe that that was actually cleaning a chair. No. But that is a great memory. Yeah, that reminds me of the old tea advert from the 70s with the chimps in. With the chimps in, yeah. Yeah, they were good, weren't they? Yes, they were. I don't really like people dressing animals up. No, anthropomorphising them, I think that's the word. Exactly. That's right. Yeah. But they were funny, weren't they? Yes, who doesn't like chimps mucking about? And when they were trying to get the piano down the stairs. Oh, yeah. And the dad, do you know this piano sound mindful? He said, you hug me and I'll fly it. Yeah. He's the memories. All right, excellent work. Thanks a lot, Jan. Cheers, minute. Tala, 0345, 606, 0973. You're a bodge, a bodge. I can't comment on that. I, I, I, I, I, this is LBC. So nobody. Matt says, oh, no, that's a, does Malani care about Trump's tarot fiasco? Just wanted me to play that Malanioclette, not going to do it. Tim says, Nick, do you remember the old-style mini hot dog van? I lost someone in 1967 and I've never seen another one since. They did exist, though. I've never heard of it. A mini hot dog van. That's, it's a mystery to me. As much of mystery as whatever was in those hot dogs. My dog's been taken. It could have been that. That's the reason why his dog's been taken or it could have been worse. They're eating the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country. That's what's coming out of those mini hot dog burns. This says Nick Abbott, I beg to differ. I am as in beg to differ from the worst instrument to pick for having a cartage around. You see these tiny kids who've just come out of school, obviously, they just come out of music practice and they're carting around a double base. It's bigger than they are. Why would you pick that? Yeah, Egypt, I think. I don't say it because, you know, stabbing's an all. So Nick Abbott, I beg to differ. I am a metal drummer and I used to use two bass drums, four rack toms, one floor tom, a snare drum and 13 cymbals. That's much worse than a double bass cart around. No way I was taking all that for a walk on the tube, even if I was an octopus. Well, that's almost as good as a piano because you would have to have somebody take that for you. There's no way you can carry any of that. And 13 cymbals, really? Do you really need 13? Because I think the drummer of a little band called the Rolling Stones got away with one, two tops. 13. You're not in Emerson, Laken, Palmer, you know. Two team, hello, Jan. Hi, hi. I'm good evening. Yes, Jan, I am great mate. Yes. So I've got some, it's about Trump and how he's actually this is good news, isn't it? His popularity is diving and they're putting it down, what that they're calling it. I don't know if you've got it on your bingo card. T-S-S, Trump fatigue syndrome. Trump fatigue syndrome. We're very, very fatigued of you, Donnie. Because he's saying the latest polls in the states are saying that you know what, his second term began as they're describing it as a shock and all shock and all at the beginning of his big shock and all. Of his second term, shock and all and grabbing him, you know, him always grabbing attention and you know, boosting his inflating his ego and grabbing grabbing women. Touch, feel that that's what I do. It's what he does. But Nick, have you seen the look? I don't know if this is the latest one, but it looks like it is, but you probably may have mentioned it before, but how there's a huge poster banner bearing his portrait on the like a flag thing. Trump Kennedy Center for Peace and Love and Harmony. No, no, no, no, no, this is for the UNIT, US Department of Justice in Washington. And you know, he's self-promoting himself and it's like the thing. He's no, no, no, no, no, and it's actually, it's causing people to actually crash their cars. He's only president in American history that has had worse polling than Donald Trump right now was Donald Trump in his first term. He's just beaten himself. Yeah, because they say he's overconfident and he's he's he's he's all falling apart for him. And it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. It really is. All of the the mega people are fighting with each other because of, you know, Jeffrey Epstein and his refusal to actually release all of those unredacted files and that people are waking up to the fact that his stupid tariffs is actually costing them the Americans money and not other countries. And they really, really object to ice shooting white people. I mean, it's okay if they shoot other people, you know, they wouldn't know that much bothered about that. But when they start shooting white people, well, those are the wrong kind of people to be shooting. There's another phrase also used, but it seems to have a double-filted meaning for Trump derangement syndrome. Yeah, the only person that has Trump derangement syndrome is Donald Trump. And there's something about he even his, is it Steve Benham says that Trump has been governing muscle velocity? I mean, what does even that mean? But governing as a muscle philosophy has Trump idealog Steve Benham calls it when he's when he's flooding the zone with the root word. Don't repeat the root word. No, thank you. Appreciate you not repeating the root word. And yeah, the Steve Benham is a very naughty boy. In many ways that we can't really get into on here because you know, I've only got a brief show. But I think one of the things that most Americans are very, very angry about is Donald Trump is telling them that prices are down and they know that when they go to the supermarket prices are not down. A price is for groceries. I'm talking about groceries, groceries, groceries, groceries. It sort of says a big with different things in it. It's a bag with different things in it. Want you to note that down, Jan? Cheers, my dear. Thanks for that. 03456060973. Lucy says, "I would rather true my own toenails than listen to Cliff Richard." Wow. How about chewing somebody else's toenails? There was a time when Cliff Richard got upset I think because the radio wasn't playing in anymore. Which is kind of unreasonable. You know, acts come and go and they have their usually they have their moment in the sun and then you know, they're not as popular as they once were. So and plus I'm sure that radio stations just pick the track whatever it is that they've released. Not on the basis necessarily that they are an artist that they played the last song on. They treat each track as it comes and do we like this? Well, I'll listen as like this. I may have some of these details wrong but he was a bit put out by that or his people were perhaps. And so as an experiment, he made a dance track. And I think it was with the help of all those people that had all of those songs come out in the ages. Oh God, it was absolutely excruciated. Stock Aiken and Waterman. Ugh. Ugh. I feel physically it'll just make just saying their name out loud. You know, all that I should be so lucky. That stuff. Ugh. Formatius. But anyway, with the I think it was with their help. He made a dance track that didn't have any words on it. It was an instrumental in fact. And it was kind of indistinguishable from all the other dance tracks that were out at that time and it was pretty good. And he released this track and people started to play it because it was a white label. We didn't have any name on it. And it sounded, yes, and it's pretty good. And I think the tape was aha. There you are. You do like my music. it, but not if it's got my name on it, Cauture. But it had it bore no relation to anything that you have ever heard Cliff Richard do. Now this is all off the top of my head and this is ancient history and I was like 40 years ago, but that's how I recall it. So, and I'm not quite sure why I even got into that. I was Lucy. It was, it's Lucy's fault, and I do with me. She said she would rather choose somebody else's toenails and listen to Cliff Richard. Well, Devilwoman was a pretty good song. I think you're being unreasonable, Lucy. Klaig from Klaig, Klaig from Clankton says, I saw some of Brooklyn Beckham's photographs and they are absolutely diabolically bad, well, comically bad, that he got a book of his photographs actually published is laugh out loud funny. I mean, they're really, really, really bad. It's, it's as though somebody had thrown a camera out the back of a lorry and it had just gone off randomly and they thought, well, that'll do. Yeah, job done. Shocking. Oh, you want your Beckham family update? I've got time for this. Beckham family update. Couple more messages and then I'll get into it. Trish and Workshop says, Nick Cliff Richard, we don't talk anymore is a fantastic song. Well, it's a song. We can agree on that. Yeah, it's a pretty good song. Yeah, I like that song. I mean, if it came on the radio, I wouldn't turn it off. If it came on the radio and I was in a car, I wouldn't drive into a tree just to make it stop. I'll put it like that. Greg in Cardiff says, I refer to reform UK as de form UK, but now a much more apt term is defect UK in both contexts of the word. And citizen says, hi, Nick, AC DC are back in South America next week. They play Brazil on Tuesday and next month. They're back at River Place. So it'll be interesting to see if the crowd was crazy as they were in 2009. I have said this on this show many times before, but if you want to see the most, how would you describe it? The most crazy crowd you've ever seen at any gig pull up AC DC at River Plate. It's on YouTube, YouTube. They go nuts. I've never seen anything like it. Like a hundred thousand people or bouncing up and down at the same time to music put out by a bunch of people that look like they should be in a car. I don't mean to be offensive when I say that, but that's what they look like. They look like very, very old people indeed, but the noise they make is a sensation. Right, your Beckham family update. These are all headlines in the same news site on the same day. Cruise Beckham turns 21. David Beckham brand's son fiercely loyal to family and friends with thinly veiled reference to Brooklyn's ongoing estrangement as he leads tributes.

Sam says I took my mother to see Cliff Richard live last year. Why was the youngest person there by 35 years? Nothing more to report, but I do deserve recognition for taking one for the team. Well, you know, isn't that, Rob? I don't know how old Cliff Richard is, but you have to respect somebody who has lasted that long in this business. You just do. Taluila says, hello, Nick Abbott. I've been watching you since I was night. Okay, well, there's two, I see two mistakes there. First off, you ain't watching me. You're hearing me. You've been listening, perhaps, and not night. You were eight, maybe. So start again. Hello, Nick Abbott. I've been watching, I've been listening to you since I was eight. I'm 13 now. My name is Taluila and you're my favorite person on LBC to be listening to. 13 years old. 13. Isn't it about time you got a job? Just lying about the place, Taluila. Very, very lazy. Just saying Dave says, can you place shut up your face by Joe Dolcey and give a shout out to my mates, Rupert, my jaw and Dolce? Shut up your face. Well, let's see if we've got that in the rack. Have we got that in the rack? No. Have we got any Joe Dolcey? No. What kind of a station is this? I am outraged. Uh, Chippenham, hello, Karen. Hello, Nick. Good evening. Good evening. So I was phoning about, um, well, the desperate Donald Trump needs a dead cat to throw out his flag or chaff to detract from his latest tariff, tariff trevils and other challenges. Yeah. And so, um, that's why he's conveniently jumped on the UFO bandwagon for our Obama having been sort of made a joke about it. And he's promised to release the UFO files. However, some people say that as far as aliens are concerned, that's if that's what they're referring to, you know, these unexplained flying objects. Yeah. As far as aliens are concerned, they're already here and living underground from which, um, I think the question arises and it's concerning the toxic trillineur tech toggle vites because, you know, they've built their, they're underground bunkers. And I'm wondering if these are the aliens that Donald Trump's referring to, you know, that he's going to expose in his UFO files. A lot of those psychotec bros do look a bit alien adjacent. Well, all of them are a bit weird and a bit sort of vacant. And so some of them are at war with each other as well. But also, I think to back up that possibility, in fact, I've got to say that, you know, I've just had a look on the, on the internet. And I've actually found, um, I don't know how serious this is, but it's, um, at Harvard University, they've got, um, something called the Harvard Human Flourishing Program. And they've, they've got this study where they're looking at what they call so-called extraterrestrials, but they're also calling them crypto terrestrials. And there isn't interesting that Elon Musk and some of these other toxic tech children there. They've been recently talking about crypto and saying that in a year or so's time, you know, our pensions are going to be relevant. All the money that people are saving into their pensions, what they've got in their bank and I see them. It's all irrelevant because they're taking it all away from us. And they're imposing crypto, which means they rule the world. And we're all subject to their, you know, to their crypto and all their other, um, you know, shenanigans. Yeah. Yeah. It looks like it. And I think that's what Donald Trump's going to expose. He's going to, you know, he's going to put, you know, put all these extraterrestrial things on the table, reveal the story about the, um, you know, his tech, tech twillianose living underground. And how they're going to impose crypto. Yeah. Well, he might be thinking about doing that, right? Up to the point where they hand over a bazillion dollars in cash and tell him how big his hands are. Sorry, what your hands are. Oh, sorry. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, yeah. So what are we going to expect in the next week or so? I don't know. It's got to compete with what Sandra R. Cabama was telling us about tongue in cheek. I think the other day. Yeah. Well, he said that the, of course, A, the uns, uh, exist, but he hasn't seen any of them. which I think was one of those off-hand remarks that Donald Trump was going to be talking about from now until the end of time. He's going to have the FBI and CIA and ICE and every other acronym you've ever heard of, look into that very strongly. Yeah, but it has been suggested, I mean, going back many, many years, that more and more as these more authoritarian governments are going to start taking control of things, that we're going to hear about aliens and things like that, just to distract us. Distractors, yes. We will get so scared, all so fearful, that we're going to agree with anything that an authoritarian government says and wants to impose on us. And obviously that's pointing to people now, like Donald Trump. And the time to resist is now, hey kids, wake up, it's later than you think. Thanks a lot, Karen. Appreciate it, 0345, 6060973. Martin in Epping says, "My first car ever was a voxel lever in a banana-custard yellow." It had wing mirrors and door mirrors both in chrome. And that was 1982. The worst car my dad had was an Austin Allegro in a bronze color, such an embarrassment. An Austin Allegro, one of the ugliest cars that's ever been made. Oh, dad, what do you want to buy that for? Shocking. Custard yellow. I mean, we think we sort of recoil from that and think, oh, didn't they come in gray or black or at the very most white. Cars are so boring now, aren't they? They just don't have any design styling at all. I mean, as much as they have any styling of any kind, it's that the stylists have discovered LEDs. They've got strips of lights at the back. And that's about it. Every car on the road looks a blum in same. All those SUVs, those soft roaders. It doesn't really matter what brand you do. I saw an Austin Martin off-roader the other day, and it just looks like it's been made by Ford. I mean, Austin Martin must be the most beautiful cars among the most beautiful cars that have ever been made. And they make an SUV and it looks like every other SUV on the road. It could be a Ford, it could be a Volvo, it could be a box all, it could be anything. They all look the blum in same. Very, and they're all in the same color. You've got to wear a car park. And unless you remember where you put it, you'll never find it again because every car looks the same. And they're all in the same color. They're all in black or gray or white. That's it. Why do we get so embarrassed about color? I don't get it. I mean, we don't necessarily have to go back to the colors that we were using in the 1970s. I mean, I'm not recommending that orange comes back, but a little bit of imagination. I suppose that everybody's petrified that the resale value is going to plummet if they pick a car in green. I mean, green is a good color for a car, ain't it? It's a good color for a blackboard. Grass is green. I know more about grass than any human being, I think, anywhere in the world. Anywhere in the world. If you want to know anything about grass, just ask Donnie. Um, Muthetit Phil. Hello, Jeff. Well, Nick, how are you? Great, mate. Good. Sorry, I missed the program tonight. I tuned in. Oh, don't worry. I missed it too. And I couldn't, I was intending to talk in at 10, but I was watching this fantastic documentary. Can I recommend it to you? Go on. It was called 2000 meters to Andrithga. It was two Carmen Adina signed to a platoon of the Ukrainian army of a division. And they were trying to take this village. It was two hours long. Nick, I tell you what, if you want to know what warfare is like now, yeah, I will ever be with the drones and the brutality of the army. It was filmed in 23 during the counteroffensive thought, nowhere by the ingredients. Right. Well, let me think about that for a moment. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely. No, there's enough misery in the world without dipping yourself in a great vat of it. No, thank you. Okay, Nick. All right. Okay. Um, you know, you've got a world-right net. So in the course of the world and everybody could have peeled that. There's anyone of your listeners know of another town, not city for that mother anywhere in the world that has got three statues to boxes. And I don't mean the shorts. Okay. Well, that would be weird. I mean, that would be very, very straight. If you had three statues to a men's underwear, that would be a bit bizarre. It would even even for murder. Yes, it would. Who are those boxes? Not that I'll probably have any idea who they are, but go on. Well, I just wonder because I thought I can't think of anywhere else in the UK. It's got three statues. Is one of them John Conti? No, I'm not sure. Did I get that name right? It was on birth. He's not worth it. It's Howard Winston, which a lot of your listeners would know was a world champion in 1968. Right. The matchstick man, which tragically died in the ring in Los Angeles. The music man who, Larry, I didn't know he fought. Anagai Colledin Thomas who was a British and Commonwealth. No, no idea. All scattered around with a few statues to box. I'm as likely to watch a boxing match as I am a documentary on the Ukrainian war. Yes. I assume that there are a lot of happy Welshmen because Wales put up some sort of reasonable performance today. You're not talking about rugby. No, okay. Forget it. Stop. I will stop. Thank you. I just think in the other day, does Nick know the meaning of the word 'Senneth'? You know where the sort of Welsh parliament is? Yes, yes. Is it Parliament? No. Torkey place? What is it sound like, Nick? What is it sound like? Oh, this is like being back at school. Are police, sir? Can I be excused? Does it sound like 'Senneth'? 'Senneth', yes. Is it 'Senneth'? Yes, thanks. Right. And you've been invited to the Gusein Kuhu Senate. Oh, right. No. I'm banning myself from the Gusein Kuhu. It's okay, Nick. Nick, listen. You've been invited to give evidence a bit like Andrew has been invited to go to the Senneth. No, thanks. I thought you could fly down. I'm washing my hair or my hands or my car. Something is getting washed on that day. I know that for sure. Well, I'm glad you're not coming because you would have to give evidence against me in my efforts to get you. Right. You're glad I'm not coming because you'll be first at the bar and I'll have a pint of whatever your worst lager is. Thank you. Thanks a lot, Geoff. 03456060973. Kathy in Putney, Seth. Hi again. When I was teaching in Rome, we used to go around in a trinket chento, all eight of us. No. Eight. The inside was painted like the Sistine Chapel. Yeah. Dave says this isn't a real Nick Abbott show. You've never been ordained. No, I do what that means. And says I love maths. Well, you'll love this then. And one, yeah, two, three, six million. No. And is very upset with you, say, Fod. What are you thinking? He needs one of them calculators, one of them scientific calculators. Do you even know anything about co-signs or whatever the other, whatever the other buttons on that thing are? So obviously, but I know suddenly, but obviously, I really like you. Do you like me? Yeah, sure. Why not? Chris says Trump doesn't want to nationalise voting. He wants to control vote counting in 15 particular places. Yeah. Robin in Abel Tasman National Park says, hi Nick, hi. Currently sitting under a cloudless azure sky in 22 degrees Sunday Grade Sunshine in New Zealand about to enjoy a cold beverage. - Who's? - Would you like a daily report of my holiday weather? No, thank you, Robin. We don't wish to know that. Let me just check ahead. Let's see what the weather's going to be like here. - Absolutely dreadful so far. I mean, if you've ever known a year that starts this badly, it's shocking. Okay, raining tonight and raining tomorrow, raining on Monday and. (SIGHS) Look at that two days in a row and it's not going to be raining. (SIGHS) Tuesday and what. Wow! Look at that. Can that be true? Wednesday is going to be 17 degrees centigrade. - What? - Where did that come from? How about that came from New Zealand? - Pressure it. - Thank you. And then it'll be raining on Thursday and raining on Friday and not raining next Saturday and raining all of next week, all of next week raining. But it's getting very warm, very suspiciously warm. 17 degrees. What is that in proper temperature? Double it in at 32. Well, that's easy. Any of you could do that. So, double 17 is 44 and 44 plus 32 is 86. It's going to be 86 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday. - No. Jeremy says, "I think you're being a little unfair on the US Democrats." They sent another sternly worded letter to Trump yesterday. I'm sure that'll do the job. Yeah, they really need to wake up. Their country's been taken from them in front of their faces and that's exactly what they're doing. They're considering sending another sternly worded letter. New J- Speaking of which, New Jersey. Hello, Gerald. - Oh my gosh. So, hey, Nick, I've been listening to you for six years. You're amazing. You're the real king of England. - Just want to say that. - Hey, man. - Don't talk me with that brush. - Hey, two weeks ago, I had a dream about you, Nick. I pulled myself out of bed and I wrote it down and I was like, "I got to try to reach out and try to, you know, I never made it through, sorry." - You had a dream about me? - Yes, Nick. Yes, I had a dream. And I've only seen that tiny photo of you just like on your screenshot on the app. I don't even know what you look like. But I don't want to, I don't want to cover you up, sorry, I'm nervous. Sorry. So, you were having a cocktail party and I was standing by you and getting ice as you were making a libation. I was asking you questions about your work and then if the other presenters were envious of you and your success and if people differential because you told us about meeting your favorite broadcaster once and then charge truck and then they didn't know anything. So, I was like, "Oh my gosh." So, you were fine with my questions until I say, I posed the inquiry. I was like, "Hey, Nick, it's true that your flat cost $62 million." You were like 62 million, 62 million, and you were chasing me like you were going to throttle me and then you started laughing and then it was like fake outrage and then we laughed. And this was, I was hosting a cocktail party. - Yes, yeah. So, what was your like to drink, Gerald? - Well, I'm going to force me a gin person, you know, so it probably would have been a gin drink. - A gin drink, right? - I can do that. I can pour gin in a glass. - Hey, Jack, one more two things really quickly, Nick. So, there's one, first of all, years back, you made this joke about a homeless person crossing the street in a royal's voice. I don't know how I'm going to cut them in a half. Oh my gosh, unbelievable. - That doesn't sound like a joke? - No, no, no, no, it was so fun. And then one more thing, okay, there's a show in the United States called Sea Span where all the like hillbillies call in and I was going to say to you, like, let's pretend I'm a famous American producer. I think if you came on that show and like, like they should switch, they should come and like talk to your audience and you should go and like take calls from the crazy Americans, it'll be unbelievable. It'll be the never-want show on the world. - Yeah, let me think about that for a second. - No, no, no, no, no. - Absolutely, no. But I have seen that program and I've seen clips of the presumably it's lots of different guys who are taking calls. And but the clips that I've seen are people calling and they'll do that Howard Stern thing about that they should just shout "Bababui" which is Howard Stern thing. I don't really know what it's about, but they do that. And also sort of, because they don't seem to have a delay on that show. - It's truly disturbing things, it's it. - Yes, but you have to sit through probably hours of intense boredom before you get somebody calling up with an amusement. But if you got the clips then post them to me. All right. - It's the closing of talk to you. - Excellent work. Thanks a lot Gerald. There you are. The news from New Jersey. Yes, people call in to radio shows and they, it's a spoof and the host is not aware that he is being spoofed until the punchline. - I'm immensely grateful to you for everything you've done in British point as well last few years. I used to be an artist remain. I voted remain. I believed in the European project. I believed that staying in the European Union was the best thing for us. And then something happened and something monumental happened. I completely changed my opinion on the whole situation. - What was that monumental thing Mark? - I was kicked in the head by a horse. - Right, very good. Okay, fine. - Thank you. - No, thank you. How is Brexit going by the way? Brexit's coming great. Glad to hear it. 0345 6060 973. Oldbury, hello, Ranges. How are you doing? How you doing? Yes, good, thanks. Yes, very well. Yeah, but you know, you're talking about the stock aching on water, man. Yeah, stock aching on water. Painful. Well, you know, people, and yeah, he used to do a radio show on one of our local radio stations. Oh, yeah. I know, he used to be very good friends with him. Oh, yeah. And he was going to, he was going to come and see me at my shop and he did. But what unfortunately happened was most so not in accident in Birmingham, and I had to go on rescue him. This was about five or six years ago, and a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends went to crew or manchester that way to a model show and he met Pete Waterman there and he said to him, he says, oh, oh, now a friend of yours. He says, who is he? He's still running the chippy. So I'm just thinking someone, you know, that famous, yeah. And they still humble. I'm like, they still remember people. Right. My humble, you mean he has a memory, a functioning memory. Don't know. He's doing, yeah. And he said, well, when you get back, say hello to him and I'll pop ramps. I don't doubt, I don't doubt that he is a marvelous person. And I know that he is particularly interested in train sets like Rod Stewart is. Yeah. But I just couldn't, it was like torture in the 1980s. Every time you turn the radio on or went to a nightclub, it was that Blum in music coming out. It was all the same. I absolutely hated it. And about cars, yeah. You know, you know, cars that you are, you can't be forged. You know, when you see an astymate and looks like a Ford, yeah. Well, they had the same design for a while. Yeah, they bought them. And you know, when you say the SUV vehicle, you can get Bentley's and Rolls Royce. And they all look the same. Well, the only difference being a Bentley and Rolls Royce SUV is that they're bigger than most other ones. And you see, sometimes you see a Lamborghini SUV and they do look a bit like spaceships. But apart from that, all of the others look the Blum in same. Why do cars have to be so boring? And you've been a car race, you said the moment saying, they're all the same. They all look the same and they know, I think, but one of my relatives used to be, it was very high working for Jackie Holland Rover. And you know, when Ford took over an NBMW took over after them. And I asked him why they're doing that for, he says they want our technology. I said, well, can't let's sweep the car down and just make another one. And you'll find that, right? And they took the mini and kept that and sold everything else. Got the technology. And that was when all the four by fours came because don't forget, originally say 25, 30 years ago, there weren't that many four before. There wasn't any at all. People were driving saloon cars. And you almost see no saloon cars on the road at all these days. And I just don't think it's necessary to own that much metal just to get to Tesco's and back. It's just ridiculous. Yeah, but and that's why you need wider spaces now to park the cars. And if you go to airport, some multi-story car parks, you can't make the base any wider, can you? But then again, though, you've got people like drum-driving cars, you need to have a wider car. I don't use. Well, you need to have a wider car space if you want to park and then be able to get out of your car or you, or you leave it with no cars on either side of you. You pick a spot in the supermarket with no car on either side and you come back. And some jumpers parked so near your car that you can't physically get in the blooming thing. Well, if you look at a Ford Fiesta from time, 1977, '76, that was when the first come out to the new Ford Fiesta before the finish. I mean, you may be going extra for ten years, but then people have grown as well. They haven't grown that much. I mean, it's not necessary that cars have to increase in size to occupy our vast bottoms now. I mean, you used to be able to fit eight people in an old mini. I know we've got faster, but we ate that fast. All right, got to go. Thanks a lot, Ranger. 0345-606-903. Friday, Saturday, Sunday night, at 10. Nick Amber, LBC. My dog's been taken. Yeah, I think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ate it. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent years campaigning against vaccines, says Washington Post, but with a flu shot, he suggested that it's personal. Kennedy has linked his strained, raspy speech to the vaccine, despite several medical experts saying there is no scientific evidence to support that claim. But, you know, they're just medical experts. So what do they know about medicine? He said, "I've got spasmodic dysphoria or dysphonia, rather. That's what's wrong with my voice. And it's a listed side effect of the flu vaccine." Well, if you read the listed side effects of the drugs you get in the chemist, you'll see that almost everything will cause everything up to and including death. Don't read the thing that come with your pills. You should always read the things that come with your pills. But if you read the side effects, I mean, it's absolutely terrifying. Wouldn't take anything. Yogurt probably kill you. You read the side effects. Now, in his role as the most powerful public health official in the nation, he continues to say that the flu vaccine may have caused his condition. He told USA Today in mid-January, "It's a potential culprit that I cannot rule out." It's the sort of statement says the Washington Post that alarms public health experts who have protested Kennedy's patent of raising doubts about vaccines that they say have proved to be safe and affected with decades of evidence. Yeah, the vaccine could have caused his speech problems. Or it could be that he had a worm eat his brain. And he used to be addicted to heroin. And then there's this. I'm not scared of a germ. You know, I used to snort cocaine off a toilet seat. Yeah, he used to snort cane cocaine off toilet seats, but it's the flu vaccine. Made him talk like that. Only in Murca, right? Well, let's hope so. 0345 6060973. Speaking of which, San Francisco. Hi, Mike. Hello, Nick. I had a Ford Portina GT in 1972. What color? Which I drove. It was red. I loved it. I miss it. I miss it to this day. And I drove it across the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast. Was this an English car? It was an English car, right? Just that they used it. They actually did sell them at some dealerships. And why did you buy that though? Because it would have been about half the size of every other car on the road. I like small cars, but they were this one was boxing. And that is that a lot of them were on those days. And the good thing about boxing is you could actually see out of them. And I liked it. It had a pack on it. It had a wooden a wooden dashboard like a fancy Bentley or something like that. And I enjoyed my drive across the United States, but I broke down only once. And it was in Russell Bill, Arkansas. I've never been there, but that sounds like a place that you wouldn't want to go. Where in Arkansas? Russellville. Russellville, Arkansas. There you go. I was going to hope you would play that well. It broke down. And with that, a service station. The guy said, well, you know, he had it up on the way. I don't know about this. It looks like there's something with your, either your master cylinder or your slave cylinder. Now, I don't even know if you can save that anymore. It's one of those two things. Yeah. I'm going to have to keep it here overnight, but you're in luck because my cousin Murl just happens to own a nice motel down by the interstate. We give you the family rate. You'll never leave that building alone. Warning warning. It was actually very nice. And they did pick the car and I was able to continue my trip, but I got it into Los Angeles. And I decided I needed to take it in for something. And the guy put it up on the host, a hoist, rather, in California. And he looked up there and he pointed at something and he said, I said, everything okay. He said, well, it looks that's all right. But it looks like somebody Mickey Mouse something with the slave cylinder up here. And the thing about the word Mickey Mouse is you never want to hear it used as a verb. Okay. No, that's right. Anyway, whatever he was done in Arkansas, this guy undid it. And the car ran on quite a few years after that. But I do I do miss the thing to death. It was a wonderful car. I cannot believe with all of the cars, all of the fantastic looking cars that were available to you at the time that you picked a rather boring looking British Ford court. Was it a court. Tina, you said you had. It was a court. It was a court. I mean, that's such a dull looking car. They even have the road and track article, but they wrote about it. They thought enough about it to write about it and road and track. And they said it suffered from moderate understeer. I have no idea exactly what that is. Nothing we concerned about. Okay, well, I'm glad that we finally found a car made in the in Britain in the 1970s that actually worked for more than about 50 miles without breaking down. Excellent work. Thanks a lot, they're Mike. If I was in America, I would not have chosen a British car. I would have gone for the Cadillac Deville 1959. The things on the back of that car were it was like peak thin. I don't think any car had things that were bigger than that. It was absolutely ludicrous, but fantastic. I saw one in this country a little while ago. It was parked outside their house in their driveway. And most of the car was on the pavement because their driveway wasn't big enough. It was big enough for an ordinary car, but not this car. And it was such a sight to see. Look it up in the worldwide weight. I doubled a Cadillac Deville 1959. The fins were about a foot high. Basically, it was a thin transport device with those two rocket engine lights on either side of the fin. One of the best looking cars it's ever been made. Couldn't go around corners, mind, but you know. A Sucyna, Somerset, Laura. Too late. Jeremy says, I think you're being a little unfair on the US Democrats. They said, oh, that's the sternly word. It, I think, right. Amy says, I think Trump will have a Roman star in the sake of his own huge orange and white face built into the floor of his pointless ballroom. Yeah, and there it will stay until Americans snap out of it and come to their senses. Hey, America. Are you great again yet? Let's say, oh, she's back. Laura. Hello. There you are. Hi, I'm one lovely show, Nick. Is this? Well, you've got all these people calling and telling me, you know, I've loved you are, even though you're not very nice back. Not very nice back. No. Yeah. I mean, how does it feel? It feels great, mate. You know, I was reading up on R of K, Junior when you were talking. You know, he had the like brain fog while back. Brain fog. He had a brain worm. It ate half his brain. Well, you have to close it. I was really glad the group he made was it got in my brain ate some of my brain and then died. And I just think what kind of death would a worm go through eating some Donald Trump's brain? Well, I mean, what's in there to the worm to die? I wouldn't imagine that there was enough to fill it up. It's dog. It's dog. Donald Trump's brain would be the snack you could eat between meals without ruining your appetite. I'm just saying. Yeah, so I could tell folks about the stuff about the separating the art from the horrible artist. Yeah. And I have attempted to do. I agree with you. Because I also think if you really look into everyone with a with a microscope, brain fog. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? And if you look into everyone's horrible in some way, aren't they really? - Pretty. - Yeah, people are. I've met people and I'm not keen. And like, creative at best are weirdos and words. Weirdos, yeah. Yeah, at worst or just, well. Beyond the pale. Yeah, exactly. Because I went to see Doja Cat a few years ago. Doja Cat. Did they do this one? No? Yes, that's her, yeah. Oh, yeah, her, right. Yeah, she's the kind of artist, if you don't mind me saying. Yeah. The light cliff Richard, you would probably prefer with instrumental rather than, you know, singing. I don't know anything about Doja Cat. I mean, it is a name that I've heard. But, um, does she, um, is she anything like Doja Looper? Doja Cat Doja Looper should do, um, a. A collab. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. You really give it the young people lingo. Where is it? I mean, you're the same age as my dad. And I told him I went to Doja Cat and you know more about her than he does, though. Yeah, I didn't even know it was her. I thought it was something. I thought you were talking about a band. Never mind. Um, well, yeah, so she's a rapper. Oh, well. Yeah. And she has the history of knocking on with her band. Doja Cat, there's Doja Cat no bad bunny. Just say. It would be a manasury. Yeah. A manasury is what it would be. No, the cat and the rabbit would be a bloodbath. I can't couldn't eat a rabbit. It could try. No, it could. Way too much for. Well, anyway, I don't think they probably do know each other. Um, but, yeah, no, Doja Cat. I'd quite like her music, but she's not a very nice person. Really? No, she just always wants to like, like, rage bait her fans. There's another long person with young person terms for you. Rage bait. No idea what you're talking about right now. It's like, I mean, saying things to provoke a reaction. Right, the baiting rage. Yeah. Yeah, it's like me saying to you, um, the best, uh, on stage performers are the. Are Oasis. That's rage bait for you. Right, I'm trying to keep a lid on it. But she's, um, she's, she's, she's, she showed up late and, uh, full disclosure. I don't remember a lot of the concerts. Later because. How late was she? Oh, God. I don't, I don't, I don't remember a lot because I was. Refreshed at the time. Yes. Guilty. But she, she also, like, doesn't really interact. You know, when after songs, they kind of go like, hello, New York. And, you know, hello wherever I am. They're probably writing down on their palms, don't they? Just in case they forget because everywhere they go, it looks the blooming same. They're also just sticking in a hotel room all day long before they got to go out and, uh, you know, go on. Just a little pin prick. That'll keep you going for the show. That's a reference to something I bet. Nothing gets far as you. But, you see, like, yes, I like that. I didn't think I did, but having been to like other concerts, like, when I went to see Remak, like, was probably a little bit too much interaction. I've heard of that. Like, because Stephen, it's going to be like this next song and tell you the whole law behind it. You know the law behind, uh, food Maxwell. That's L.O.R.E. L.O.R.E, yeah. Yeah. I just, I think they could write a saga about it. I think that's very disrespectful to, um, uh, to Stevie Nicks, one of the greatest voices in the history of rock. And you should, you should stand there and listen until she, she runs out of breath telling you about the song she's about to sing. How dare you? I did, but this is the thing I liked a little bit about. But don't you can't don't do that. She doesn't even say like, you know, I love you guys or anything. You know, I love you guys. It very much depends on the artist. I mean, some people are very chatty and some people aren't. I saw David Bowie. I, he didn't, I don't believe he said a single thing to us. And it was absolutely epic because he was doing that. That sort of thin white duke thing. Well, he was, it was the Isola to it. So it was low and heroes, just like that. But he just came on in darkness and he did the first song was, um, I think it was, um, war sour. Or something like that. One of those instrumental bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, like that for about five minutes. And the crowd was going berserk. And he was, it was still dark. You couldn't see anything at all. He hadn't said a single word to us. And he started with a very low down instrumental. Like the kind of thing you would play at somebody's funeral. And then two hours later, at the end of the show, I don't think he said a single word to us. But that was perfect for his character. But, you know, I don't know anything about Doja Cat. But she should maybe, you know, say hello every now and again. Crying out there. He didn't say anything for two hours. He didn't put the lights up for two hours. But the two are not the same. Didn't say anything. But the lights are respected to that. Yeah, he had this sort of Dan Flavin. Maybe the back of the stage was like a Dan Flavin. Maybe he had people in the audience stealing all its while the lights were down. Right. Without being unbranded to him. I don't know. He was lovely with me. Yeah. I think you're thinking about it too much. But the Doja Cat being late is a very, very bad form. You must be on time unless your Grace Jones. I want to say Grace Jones in Brixton. Three hours late, she was. What? Three hours late. Can you imagine that Laura? Oh, well, you know, I've been to festivals. No, you haven't been to a no way that where anybody has been three hours late. And the crowd, I mean, like a lot of the crowd had just left by the time she came on. As she came on and didn't say anything. Three hours, I think it was midnight by the time she actually arrived and started the show. And she was doing one of the, I don't know, warm leatherette or something like that. And she was, I think it was warm leatherette. As she sang half the line and then put the microphone down to the crowd to sing the other half. And so it was like, wow. And then she put the microphone down to the person, the nearest person in front of her, who was supposed to go leatherette. But he didn't. He grabbed the microphone and said, your three hours late, where have you been? And she said, three hours, I don't even know what day it is. Which did seem true. All right, thanks a lot, Laura. 0345, I'm late for the hours. Gotta go. 0345, 6060, 907, 73. Your joke in. 0345, 6060, 609, 73. Donnie in Bogna Regis says evening, what are your thoughts on the picture of trust and the orange space opera? Decide on which wall to put it on? No. Although there is trust news. I must share this with you. I'll do it in a moment. Tim says a really interesting discussion on green just now, as in. I know more about grass. Grass. He's talking about some conversation we had some while ago on this show. He says, I'm a 50 plus year old business guy who enjoys smoking. My two purchase experiences this month, one, fifth avenue New York City cannabis dispensary that look like an Apple store, and two, my mate, Cam in the car park near the tube in East London. These were the easiest options in New York City versus London. In a particular situation, makes no sense. It does make no sense. Not to me, it don't. Absolutely nuts. Hey, you know what? The War on Drugs? Drugs one. Okay, here's Liz Trust News. A select group of the Uber wealthy have recently found themselves. This is the Times. Reporting on this. A select group of the Uber wealthy have recently found themselves staring at the face of Liz Trust. As she makes a simple pitch, please part with half a million pounds. What? In return, the former Prime Minister has offered what she called the world's most distinguished individuals. The opportunity to become founding members of a new kind of private members club in May for. And I would imagine that the thought that went through the minds of the world's most distinguished individuals was. If I joined, would that mean I would be spending more time with Liz Trust. and formulated their response based on that? The club to be called the Leckonfield promises its "pro-growth leaders" will be able to use a networking hub to do business under the watchful eye of the UK's shortest serving leader. But the club's own growth faces an obstacle after receiving complaints from wealthy neighbours. who claim it will be little more than a nightclub for the super-rich. Which begs the question that the world's most distinguished individuals have to ask themselves. Would you like to pay a lot of money to be in a nightclub with Liz Trust? Local residents have sent objections to the development in West to Westminster City Council. warning May Fair Village will greatly suffer from noise and relative chaos in a peaceful area. Which is unfair. I mean, could something run by Liz Trust be chaotic? *laughs* The venture to be housed in Leckonfield House, the former MI5 headquarters. has been described as a "pro-growth leaders" Liz's baby with the politician overseeing its elite membership list. "If your name's not on the list, count yourself lucky." In recent months, lacquered black boxes containing a prospectus and personal message from Liz Trust have been delivered to hand-picked individuals that club bosses hope will join the 700 strong founder cohort. "Hey, Liz Trust, where's my black lacquered box? It's not arrived yet. You believe that?" "That is a disgrace." Work on the eight-floor development is expected to start soon with the aim of transforming the office block into what Liz Trust calls a "strategic nexus" for a global network of pro-growth leaders. "Doesn't that sound fun?" "No." "Being 500,000 pound joining fee will provide investors with a lifetime membership." Which seems a bit harsh. You don't even get life for murder. In that right, Liz. "Absolutely." "Absolutely." "0345, 6060, 973." "Ailsford, hello, Tony." "Hello, Nick." "Tony." "I had my first tag at the age of 27, by the way." "You did what now?" "I had a tag." "I've never smoked all my family smoked, but I've gotten to be winter Olympics shortly." "I had a tag at the age of 27." "What did you do that for?" "Well, I don't know. Stress." "Stress?" "No, then I got into it, but I've got a tag. I've not had a tag at the age of 25, but I like a tag now and again, but I know it's really bad, but I'm giving up completely." "I just don't get it. I really do not understand the appeal of cigarettes. I'm mystified, particularly if you are just trying it for the first time. What was pleasurable about the first time that made you think, "Oh, I want to do this again." It's like pouring drain-o down your throat while you're being spun on a fairground ride. It's awful. "No, I don't know why I picked it up, but I was the only one in the family not to smoke." "When you're falling on your knee, when your mum and her partner were smoking 20 a day." "Oh, it's awful. But I wish my family and my mum stopped smoking because it's just awful." "The safety, people are fainting now. That makes me cough." "Faping, I don't really get that either. I know that kids are into being naughty and all." "Faping is cool. Come to message from next door. No, it's not. It's stupid. Vaping is supposed to be something that helps you get off cigarettes. But more on kids, past the cigarettes and went straight to the vaping. How idiotic is that? "I agree. That's the only good thing that Rishi Schoon ate, I think. And baked. But anyway, winter Olympics, I wanted to call up out. We're doing quite well. We won two gold. I know that, but I was watching the early run or a date for that. "Why do we win gold in again?" "The skeleton, I think. Was it the Bob's sleigh? But you know the way to do it." "Oh, these are boring sports. I mean, you can't really tell the difference between one person who goes down the hill and another, unless they crash." "Yeah, and that's why, and then you've got these people on your ski. But then you know you've got the snowboarding, you know, the dude, the magnificent slide jumps, but then I saw a finger, there's a French or a German person, then they crash on the floor and you think, "Oh, God, that must hurt." "Yeah." "It's hellent on there." "Are you saying that when you said side jumps, are you talking about the half pipe?" "No, when they snowboarding, when they go down the ski and they go right down and they start summer's the win." "Oh, that's, yeah, big air or whatever they call it. Slope style air or something like that, I don't know. But some of it is absolutely tremendous. And I haven't been watching it live because you know, it's the talking and talking and talk is endless the talking. So I've been trying to catch up on, you know, the, the eye player and it's absolutely infuriating. Whoever has organized that is a moron. That's just a fact. You look at the event that you want to see and they tell you in the headline of the event, who won that event. So you've seen who wins before you've seen the actual event. Why would they do that? If I want to watch moguls or freestyle skiing or half pipe or whatever it is, then I want to, I don't want to have to, I want to watch it, not knowing who's won the Blum in Thing. It's like introducing match in the day and here's the crunch match between Manchester United and Manchester City, which Manchester City won 4-0 and here are the highlights. I mean, they would get fired if they said that, but that's when every clip on eye player on the on their Olympics coverage, absolutely stupid. Nick, well, I've got to come for you with the BBC eye player. What you need to turn with this because it happens with the athletic team, you just go into the BBC eye player, then search and you make sure you put winter Olympics. If you don't want to know, you put the highlight, you put, if that was winter Olympics highlights for that actual day, you know, come up with it. But I really do. It's confusing. No, it's not confusing and what you just said is not true. I skip through it and they tell, but before you click on the event, they've already told you in the headline of that event who won it, it's so annoying. I can't believe it. Well, it's unfair and I'm going to say something like the BBC now. I think I'm quite happy to pay my licence fee and anyone who wants to get rid of it, it's the best thing that we've got and I think the BBC should take long-term to the claimers who asked me to do it. All right, we're going to agree on that. Yes, it probably, it could be better value because what I actually watch on there is not much match of the day and the antiques roadshow other than that. Can't really think. So do better, I think. Everybody could do better all of the time. Let's just agree on that. All right, got to go, Tony. Thanks for that. 0345, 6060, 973. Absolutely. Absolutely. Sully says, "But the rich had big cars. They only shrunk the cars to remind Joe Block and wife to remember what their station in life was supposed to be and not to aspire to more. And now we know how Brexit came about and it all started with the small things at the back of a shrunken car." What are you talking about? That sounds like one of those Russian bots that you see all over Twitter. Alpharmative. Yeah. You're not a real person, are you Sully? You've got an official blue tick and three followers. You're not a real person. Car says, Nick, I'm listening about an hour behind on catch-up, so forgive the tardiness, but I thought I'd chip in on the subject of transporting large instruments. When I was a lot younger, I used to carry a tuber on the back of my 50cc Simpson motorbike held on with nothing but bungee hooks. It was heavy enough that as well as making the front wheel barely touched the ground. It also reduced my top speed on the flat from 42 to 35. Fliy me. Carrying a tuber on a motorbike, that does not sound like a great step forward in road safety. Let's see now. Solford, hello, gas. Hi, Nick. Hi. Oh, yeah. You got me go on catch, so I thought I'd ring up and say hello. Okay. I took a few notes this time because last time I called, my mind went blank. Yeah, I know how that feels. Yeah. Well, I mean, my like thoughts is how? Yeah. I'm just a few things about cars. You do a whole crew life when a crew will like, you know, you categorize what cars throughout your life. Yeah. No, I've got to see it. My first car was a four-pies to my aunt one. Right. I think we're wrong with that. No, it was great. I loved it. I had a four-deck school, RS Turbo. Mm-hmm. Like that's a hooligan's car, yes. It's one of the hooligans that are an allot of engine problems. I also had the, I have a my stroke. Really down there. My my stroke. Oh. My stroke. Yeah. Red, I've seen my stroke. Oh, why? Why? It was an EFI, two weeks off. MG. It was still a my stroke. It was like in fast, the other wheel bearing problem. It was like in fast, and I've got a look, I've got a look of forwards, you know, around the driving history. I've only had two cars in my whole life. And they're both the same, two. Yeah. Yeah. I'm 100, so about not 100, you know, I mean, I'm more than safe. Yeah. No, I've sort of skipped that whole thing. I just bought a third hand car twice, and I just drove it into the ground. But I'm currently driving my, my, the second car I've ever owned into the ground. and 100 and 40. 5,000 miles and I'm taking bets on there as to how much further it'll go. There's no reason really why you can't do twice that. Well, we've got a perjol 207. I mean, it's cost was, I'm an I like, repairs, the ECU went. Oh, and it's, and it's, and all that money you spend on it is still a perjol 207. Yeah, it's low mileage. So you've got a balance. You think it's a low mileage. If I go out and spend some more money, I'm going to buy some of those problems. Exactly. That's one of the reasons why I haven't changed my car is because if I buy a new car, you just, you might buy a lemon. You've got no idea. I just got lucky twice. And the less I have to make a decision, then the better I like it. All right, guys, I've got to go. Thanks for that. 0345 6060973. Miles says, Nick, you are broadcasting fake news. Cliff Richard did indeed release a single with stock, Aiken and Waterman. It was his 100th single and it was called I just don't have the heart. In 1989, very clearly from him, though, stock Aiken and Waterman released road block in 1987, which was a white label without their name to prove that their music would be played. You merged the two into one. Oh, right. Right. Yeah, road block. I do remember that. And that was a pretty good track. So if stock Aiken and Waterman were complaining, it seems hard to believe it. They were complaining that the people weren't playing their music anymore, because you could not turn the radio on in the 1980s without hearing that, that stuff they made. God, it was painful. Absolutely excruciating. And then he put out this track called Roadblock. I do remember that. It was a genre, I hate that word, genre, that they called go-go, wasn't it? It was a bit sort of James Brown e. Roadblock. You remember that. And it was a white label and people played it. They thought, "Wow, this is great." And then they found out it was stock Aiken and Waterman. Took that off the wheels of steel and threw it across the room. No, that is a good track. See, stock Aiken and Waterman, you could make a good song if you put your mind to it. You just didn't want to. Did you? Oxford. Hello, Tom. Hello, Nick. You've got all these people coming over here and taking over our radio show. Yes, that's right. When this show started, it was just me and Ranjit and I could call and talk to you whenever I wanted to. Now I've got to wait on hold for two hours sometimes and I don't get to speak to you. Yeah. It's like being in the doctor's surgery. Who are all these people? I've got a couple of other points, Nick. If you let me. Right. You know last time when we spoke, I told you about Kaby Lane, the famous Tick Toker. Did you look him up? I don't recall ever speaking to you before in my life, but no, and I don't remember that either. Well, if you remember, you advised me to get off Tick Toc, which I did. Oh, get off Tick Toc. Yes, that's excellent advice. Secondly, I'm going to send you back to Tick Toc because there's a lady there who does so many impressions of Donald Trump, which I think you're going to enjoy. Well, she just kind of replaced the things he actually said and the clips are like the things the president actually said and they're absolutely hilarious. They used to be. I haven't spent very much time on social media lately, but there was a woman who used to lip sync Donald Trump. And that was hilarious when she was doing that because taking Donald Trump's words out of Donald Trump's mouth and reading them cold in somebody else's voice. I mean, it just looks like and sounds like gibberish. But if you take the visual of Donald Trump away and you have somebody else saying it in perfect lip sync, I mean, that just shows you how utterly silly the man is. I can't I have no idea what her name was. She was, but she used to appear clips. She used to appear on Twitter a lot, but I haven't spent very much time on that lately. So it's probably the same person I'm talking about. Finally, last point, I could not find your book on articles. Are you banned on articles? I don't know. No, it's not on. It's not on. It's on Kindle. Only on Kindle. You can buy an ebook form for ECOWO KIPIs. You can buy in paperback form for people of eight trees. And you if you have sight difficulties or you just can't be bothered to move your eyes left to right. You can have it read to you by a robot. How much can I pay to get you ready to me, Nick? We're talking six figures, Tom. Six figures. I'm going to pay you 10 billion 8176. Then I will be at your door within the hour, as long as you can come up with 8,737,540,000. Yeah, that's my prize. All right, excellent. Thanks for that. Tala, 0345,6060973. By the way, the podcast that I do with Count Margiffin is taking a break. Yeah. And in it's stead, I have doubled up the number of best off podcasts that I do. It's called the Nick Abbott Habit. It used to come out just once a week. Now it's coming out twice a week in an extended form. It's much, much longer than it used to be. It's at least 40, 45 minutes long. It used to be just half an hour. So it's extended and now twice a week. The Nick Abbott Habit. It's concentrated amusement. Clips from old shows. I think you'll love it. Ask for it by name on the internet near you. Let's see now. Edinburgh, EmbiRer, Robert. Hello. Robert. Hi, hello. It's a bootie. I was in the hospital with some bootie pen. Oh, yeah. And there was this guy. He was like a professional. So a lawyer or some, but he probably, why not? Or some really, I'll carry it. It's just up there. But he was a lawyer. But he was, he'd only beat. I mean, he's how dangerous people are. He go, what do you, he's left to us. He's taking a way. But he's taking a way. He's just taking a way. He's just a, oh my god. And that's that's true. I should be still a grad. You should have given us a warning. Yeah. To just spring that on us with without any indication of where you were going with that, I mean, I am. I'm sure people can get safe. It's not. It's, well, it may not be safe, but it is 100% stupid. I just cannot believe that people went straight from not smoking cigarettes and then went to vaping. Vaping is supposed to be the thing that gets you off cigarettes. But when the V it goes, it's like a big clouting in use. Get the V. Ped. Yeah. Okay, well, that's why I didn't like, but about a bit of a car. Yeah, it's too many. It's right. It's, it's like a garden, right? Uh-huh. A thunderbolt. It was a stack. Oh, yeah. To see a stag. You made it to the needy. Uh, the, well, those stags, they were fantastic. They had a tea bar in it, didn't it? Yeah, brilliant car. And I was thinking, you said, I was thinking myself crazy. It must be really, really real. The kid because he looks three. He's a needy. Big big big money these days. But I was there. Yeah. There would have been daft money. Yeah, probably. There was a, uh, uh, uh, a James said, oh, and Jensen interceptor. Oh, yeah. Sorry, office for that. He must be, well, for real. Big big big money. Yeah, Jensen interceptor. That was, that was driven by Roger Moore in, um, the persuaders. You remember? Hi. But as I said, the main thing I've heard up next was about with the DJ, the beeping because of like, Ken's beat. Yeah, kids and morons stop vaping kids. Yeah, Egypt. Stop vaping and get your faces out your phones. It's leisure and you think. Social media. I didn't really do social media. There's nothing social about it. That door on front, there's just a lot of really. I mean, I just didn't understand anybody could avoid for him. He's a numpty in the, in the, uh, in your local vernacular. Yeah. There's a lot of it. I've called them that. Yeah. It's a numpty. I'm a little bit of a little bit. Okay. Anybody that keeps shooting. I'm smart. Yes. Well, you know, he's, he's smarter than everybody. Nobody is more smart than him. That's, that is just a fact. All right. And, and he, he relies on the stupidity of others to agree with that. I love the poorly educated. Loves the poorly educated. All right. Gotta go, Robert. Thanks for that. Robert says the engine in the Ford anglia was the same engine that went into the Ford Capri Classic, which had a much, which had much longer tail fins. Why don't I think about that? I'm still dreaming about the, uh, the Jensen interceptor. What a car that was. How would you ever replace the back window though? I mean, it was just colossal. And if that ever broke, we've got a dink in it. Where would you get the replacement from? Ellie says, my son plays the double bass when we were buying a car, the showroom assistant, let us drive the car home to see if the bass would fit in the car. It did. So we bought the car. It was the second hand. state was about the only car that would fit a double basin. Apart from the mini, which is apparently like the TARDIS, you can fit anything in one of them. [Music] "Come on, we're running late!" We are running late. Mwad- Mwad-Dib says, "I used to own an alpha-rameo stelvio. I woke up one morning to find it, it had run away with a julietta." Really. Really? A listener with material. "Oh, no!" Malcolm embodiment says, "Nit, can I say I am what I am?" And what I am needs no excuses. I deal my own deck, sometimes the ace, sometimes the duses. No Malcolm, you may not say that. Heston, hello Isaac. Hello. Isaac. Yes. Three things. Couple of three things. Yeah. Right. Number one, you spoke about Cliff Richard and the Go-Go's and the Go-Go genre in the same sentence, right? I did. Yeah, right. I just want to let you know that as a retired disco dance house music man now. Yeah. Thank you very much for that memory. The Go-Go scene came out of Washington, DC. That's right. Yeah. And they had a couple of hits and then it to kind of dissipate within the course of one summer, didn't it? Correct. Yeah. One of them went to it, don't mean a thing. If you ain't got that Go-Go swing, do up. Do up, do up, do up, do up, do up. Yeah. Okay. Number two, uh, list trust. Now I try and leave list trust alone, but that's best. Yeah. Don't make any sudden move. If you find yourself in list trust's company, don't make any sudden move. Just smile and then back slowly out of the room. I know, but she does make me laugh. I'm telling you, for a second, two reasons. Number one, right? Okay. I've seen her YouTube channel and I think you provide self. What? You know, she's gone from Prime Minister to Internet Grister. But, but you know, I've got to admit, I'll give her some kudos. Okay. Her YouTube channel does look quite polished, you know. Does it? Are you joking about that? That I'm really? Really? myself. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm thinking, oh dear. Anyway, number three, the third and final one. Oh, no. Sorry, only trust. Right. This is point two of two. So this is two one we've had. Now two two. Go ahead. I think she's gone. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she wants to start a club in Mayfair or members club in Mayfair, right? One of my, I mean, I've got a friend of mine. Okay. An African guy who used to live in Mayfair, you know. And I'm thinking myself, maybe me and him could go and them could raise a half a million pounds each. Between you and going to join the club. Yeah. That's an excellent idea. Put me on the list, Isaac. And I'll see you at the bar as long as you'll pay. No problem. And finally, right, you also spoke with one call about Las Vegas and Greenwich. You had the same sentence. Yeah. Las Vegas and oh, yes, that's right. Because they were considering putting one of those enormo domes that magical thing that they got in Las Vegas in the Greenwich Peninsula. And I think the residents complained at the very idea because they shone a light brighter than the sun into their rooms night and day. Okay, right. Well, London's too busy and noisy anyway. So we need, it doesn't need any more noise. Are you kidding me? Las Vegas has to be one of the noisiest places on the planet. Okay. Okay, but what all of us say is right. What they should do. I mean, it's something I fought, fought over about six months ago. Yeah. What they should do. They should create a Las Vegas strip from Clapton to Lowestoff, right? And all the jobs, yep, all the jobs are going to them. All the jobs go to locals and make sure that all the jobs go so that's a serious point. If I was Prime Minister, I'd say, right, we're going to invest in Clapton, Lowestoff, all that discos of England strip, which is one down and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It'll be the Las Vegas. Of the east of England, giving jobs, giving all the jobs and money to benefit the locals. Okay. And also, I won't forget Blackpool as well. So there you go. Yeah, but it's an industry based on people losing money that they can't afford. Gambling is a terrible business. Yeah. Well, you've got a spinny. As I'm studying marketing, you can sort of say, why go to Las Vegas when you can spend your money in Clapton? More widely. Why go to either of those places? Why do you go somewhere better than both of those places? Like, anywhere would be good. Yeah, no. I don't know. It's an idea. I think we'll boost the economy of the east of England and Blackpool. Because of that, Blackpool's very run down. It's very run down. Yeah. Last time I went to Blackpool, it was full of blocs on stag weekends who were wandering around the town in nappies with dummies in their mouths. And they'd obviously been doing it for quite a few hours. I think after a while, you kind of forget how you're dressed and you just start to act normally, which made it look even weirder. They've just one thing around, perusing the postcards and having a drink and a sandwich in nappies with dummies in their mouths. It just looks too weird. That's my lighting memory of Blackpool. Right. Those are my free things. Okay. See you next week. Okay, excellent work. Thanks a lot, Isaac. David in Teddington says, I just watched a recent interview with Boris on the BBC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're doing. For a split second, I thought, was all gummage was back on our screens. Surely with all of his earnings, he could afford a comb. Yeah, of course he could. But it's his act, which is, you know, you've probably seen pictures of him at school. There's those famous sweet pictures. And I think he's like, they have an epilofite or some stupid thing like that at Eden. And he's got the exact same haircut now as he had then. And I suppose when you're a child, if you look a bit sort of scruffy and untucked, it's a bit sort of charming and disarming. It sort of brings out your mothering instinct. Well, it doesn't with some, I suppose. And you think, oh, and you want to, you know, spit in your hand and rub it through his head to pat it down a bit. But if you're still trying to pull that act off when you're a grownup, I mean, that's a bit sad, isn't it? The state of him is there nobody that can intervene. I mean, he's got a current wife, isn't he? Have you seen what he looks like when he leaves the house dear? I don't care. She's actually not that bothered. Just as long as he leaves the house. But I mean, such an embarrassment. That guy used to be the prime minister of this country. And you believe that? No. And this woman used to be the prime minister of this country. Absolutely. No. No. God, we've had some shock, isn't we? And then there was this government. That government. Don't get me started. Matthew says, "The Spice Girls aren't five singing haircuts. They're forcing in haircuts in a patting, patting tone, Victoria. McThorian." Dave says, "The best thing about Brooklyn Beckham's photos are the captions." Wow. At least when you're looking at the captions, you're not looking at the photographs. I suppose so in a sense that is true, yeah. Liz In London says, "I do love listening to you, but go easy on Cliff because he is in national treasure. His early songs were great to be honest and to be fair when the girl in your arms from summer holiday is still one I have on my playlist. But as a matter of interest, he hasn't been well lately. Seriously, so take it easy." It says Liz. Carson says, "My name is Carson. Yeah, I know that. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm 14. I've been watching listening to you for about four years now, and you genuinely brighten my day. Oh, come. An old geezer on the radio is brightening your day and you're 14. I don't have other things to amuse and delight. He says, "You're humor and the way you talk about things always makes me laugh and think." Oh, sorry about the thinking part. And it really helps more than you realize. Thanks for being you and all the greatest content you put out. It means a lot says, "Carson." Well, there you are. Thank you. Thank you, Carson. See, not all 14-year-olds are rubbish. Roddy says, "No milkshake was thrown in the making of this message." Well, I'm glad to hear it. Appreciate that. How many more of these have I got? Oh, only about 50 pages. I'll pick one at random. them and it will be the last one. That's it. Jays says, "I've got coffee up my nose now. You made me laugh so hard." Well, I apologize for that too. I am very, very sorry. I am very sorry. The last screw up. Totally sorry. I am so sorry. You don't know how far I am. I am sorry. I am sorry. Yeah.
