Joseph Locke was a bloke who my dad liked. He liked sort of populist tenders. Oh, did he? Yeah. Like... What did you say they had great pipes or something?

I don't think he'd have ever used that phrase. Oh, okay. But he liked... There was a book called Richard Torber. He had about eight albums, my dad. And a couple by Joseph Locke who sang that one. But Richard Torber was a German tenor. And I think the only album I've ever had in my home where the vlog on the front square in a monocle. Oh, no, Ironicly. Yeah, I know. Ironicly. So you had a record player? Yeah. Well, I played lots of records on my brother's team. But my dad just had a... I think he might have had a Jim Reeves box. Just the eight. Jim Reeves was in case you don't know. It was a bit of a contrary legend. Okay. Very syrupy. One of those voices. You know, like the Karen Carpenter. Very syrupy voice. We used to have that one. Do you remember this, Frank? And I know because I was there.

Oh, yeah. That was Max Boyce. Oh, we asked for his. For me, Deanna. Yeah. I know. Because I was there. Yeah, I remember that horn. I think Princess Diana's brother is just covered it. It comes free. You only get them see this free in the book. Do you remember the free CDs, Frank? Yeah. You used to get them on the front of Mojo, didn't you, Frank Deese? You still get them on the comp, but we can't talk about Mojo. It's Bower. Oh, wow. It was sacked us. Oh, I see. But did you used to get them on the comp? I thought it was some special reason. It was like, no, just General Bitterness, fair enough. I know that. Mojo is a magazine I used to love, but I've come to see that it was shit. Yeah, since we got started. I understand completely. Absolutely get that. But did these have albums on the front of the Daily Express? What album? You used to get it free.

Excuse me. Come, I just put my hand up. What album? I appreciate I sound like the presenter of Catch for his. What album? Would be on the front of the Daily Express. Frank Skinner or Ruth Hasco can answer that question. What would you say would be peak? I'm going to give you time to think about this. You don't have to give me an instant off. No, I've already got gold in classic. I need to be stuff like that. You know, a bit of Mozart. All those classics. You know, when you hear them and think, oh, fuck off. Yeah, they only like classics. That's what I should have called the album. Only classics that have been used in a TV ad. Exactly. Everyone's a fruit and not cake. Exactly. Which I do apologize. We wouldn't say that now. And it was inappropriate. You don't have to apologize for Cadbury's. They can do the wrong apologize. All barcabogal hega teal, whoever it was. I think you could say everyone's a fruit and not cake.

Why can you still vote for the month? It's supposed to not cake, Frank. The month to arrive. It's not. No, in the ad it was. They changed it to everyone. Everyone's a fruit and not cake. Well, it's cake. It's this and it. Oh, is it? I thought they changed it to cake. Okay. Hell no. I like it though. Nice. I can love a fruit and not cake. It was, yeah, it was Cadbury's anyway. But I know exactly what you mean. I think you're right. It's like a pop-go classics. But you can vote for the month to arrive in Loonley Passies. So, you know, that's all the word allowances around mental health are a bit wobbly. A bit wobbly, aren't they? A bit wobbly. Yeah. Okay. No, we're moving in the right direction. We are the month to arrive in Loonley Passies. That doesn't surprise me when it comes to progress. Yeah. We can't be in face now as well. Oh, okay. We can't be in face now. All those people who stand in weird costumes. Do you not like it? I hate it. It shouldn't be allowed that.

Why do you hate it? It was funny 40 years ago when like screaming Lord Sot was doing it. But now you think, oh, mate, get back to the boss top. Yeah. The protest candidate can be somewhat tiresome. I feel someone who's got a actual political conviction. But someone who's just stressed out there to become equal when they, you know, when they got to the drabdest building you've ever seen for the end of the day. I love it. I call the way in. Let's just get politicians doing that. Thinking of politicians, that sort of thing on the news. You know, when Ed Miller bound apparently ruined his entire career by eating a bacon sandwich. Yes. You know, those things. Yes. I thought they interviewed some bloke and he was like a senior Tory bloke. I don't know who he was. I only really know Kami no from the modern rock.

Yes. But he did this thing where he picked up his glass to have a drink of water. And the coast that was stuck to the bottom. Oh, that's more so. I'm not talking about it for it. You get in the air. No, no, why he's finished. His career is finished. He must have gone to one of those consultants in some financial firm. He's been doing that. That politicians do and they're pretty. He'll go on the speaking circuit. And the stress of thinking, oh, is he going to fall off before he's finished his career? How did he deal with it? Did he remove his glasses? I don't really notice. Oh, that's worse. He didn't even notice it. So wrapped up in himself. He couldn't see the cast. All the cast. These people that can't see the coast at the end of their own. The trees. That would totally put me off him. In fact, you're right. When you talk about the itch, if someone did that on a date, for example, that would be an instant away. I thought I'd have a lot of trust this boat with a foreigner face. I can't. I can't. No, it's a coaster. You can't put one index finger on the coaster before it's in the glass.

He can't even do that. I don't know if I think about it. There would you always put an index finger on it? But when it comes up there, you'd see it. Oh, yeah. I'd take it off. I'd have made a joke of Annie. I think he was trying to style it out. I think he saw it and hoped that everyone would think, oh, maybe it's just a cup coaster. A cup coaster attachment. No, well, what's the chance of that? We know what happened. Don't try and pull the wall over at fake news. Oh, dude. What would Trump do if that happened? Well, then that fake news media reported it. He probably have the coaster manufacturer's ex-accused. I ice. Yes, he would. Absolutely would. Terrible people. Terrible people. Yeah, very sticky coaster. Cool. Yeah, the coasters have come from Mexico. Cools to the reclingy. And only clingy. Yeah. We were talking about nails earlier. Yes.

She was actually apologised for referring to her nails, thinking that I'd be affronted. Yeah, she did. Because it was too girly. I corrected it, didn't I? Look, I love her nails. And it goes as much as the next person. She was talking about an osferati last week. Yeah. You know, he had a great gel manicure. Absolutely. I've got nails, anecdote. Okay. It's something that's mind-ranny. I won't be nining. Well, let's see, are you it? When I was in Edinburgh, I was walking to the gig. And I'd bore. I was one of these. I'd gone away. You know when you go away without your nail clippers. And you say, I'm here for a month. I have to buy. I hate getting lost. I saw a pretty cinnamon. It's a lift. I'll be able to go the side of the building. I love it. You'll be like one of those Guinness Book of Records, Pete. Oh, that's what those nails really are. That's all that's in the Guinness Book of Records. People were really long hair and really long nails. And then a picture of a plane, you know, if a nail.

What was the picture of a fucking plane? It's supposed to be like, you're really on use or freaks or planes. I bought it pretty much exclusively for nail woman or man. Not beginning book of records anymore. No, you're right. What is it called there? We don't know. Oh, it's called something. Do you use the nail clippers for... I think it's a Viva. Do you use the nail clippers for pedicure and money? What's the difference, feet and... How do you use feet? No, I don't for both. Okay. But... So I'd bought them. And then I was on the way to... I bought them on the way to the gig. And I'd go and was going across this place called the Medels, which is our park, part land. And I thought, oh, I've got me thinking I was here on the bench. I've got a bit of time. Oh, now when I'm caught in a home, I have to gather, you know. They fly off and you have to go searching for them and gather. I don't know what I hadn't thought of this before, but caught them in a park. I've never felt more by a degradable entire life.

I just let them fall off. Are they going to just become the earth? Fly my prittings. It was beautiful. I just didn't even have to think about it. Really? Do anyone spot you, darling? I'm only that child I blinded him one hour. No, no. I'm glad they don't do heat spotted anymore. Spotted, frank skinner, comedian, clipping his nails. Yeah, that's pop bitch gold. Yeah, it really is. Now they're going to grow into some fabulous nail trees. Speaking of that pop bitch, you're still called pop bitch. Is this still going pop bitch? Oh, yeah. I was saying it's a deal. I don't know. Does it still do a very, it always felt quite analog. Yeah, it's like a, just get like a very sort of plain HTML emails. Yeah, inbox with all the goss. Yeah, good. I like it. I was in there for not being able to get my pop up tent back into its sheath. What was that recent thing? It's been like two years ago. I remember reading that.

Yeah. I thought, don't say anything bad about Frank. Of course, this is before I work with him. Do people get paid to give toys to pop bitch then? Do you think so? Do people get money for that? No, asking for a friend. You have sent stuff in it. No, no. I bet you are. Of course not. Why else would you subscribe if he was looking to see if your stuff was in there? No, I would never do that. I'm always looking at, you know. Come on, news headlines. Pop bitch. Oh, man. Anyway, what you've been up to, Oscar? Well, after the show last week, I did something that I haven't done in a while that's one of my favourite things to do. I'll go on. Carry okay. Oh, you a karaoke fan, I don't know that, Frank. Big time. What's your first choice? Well, I put monies too tight to mention on. I simply read and people did not like that. But my favourite one to do is sabotage by the Beastie Boys. Oh, right. Like that one. And I like that one. And they're on you, sure. Yeah, from the alternative side of the karaoke world.

Well, I'll do it. I can see you very drunk thing, you know, I will survive. Well, I wouldn't do that because it's a bit cliché. It is now, yeah. I'll do it. Yeah, maybe it is. Yeah, what else do we do? There was, there was, there was, we did Meatloaf. It's my friend's birthday. Celine Dion, it's all coming back to me now. That did really. I love a Celine Dion. What's your choice? If you imagine neither of you like karaoke, by the way, you might want to come back. I don't know. I do like karaoke. I do like singing, yeah. I do like it. I like Ring of Fire, it was used in my first choice. Do you often get pressure to do three lines or you've absolutely clear that that's... No, I wouldn't do that. I did, I did it. You did do it recently, darling. Yeah, but you know, you got to sing for your supper a bit. But now I wouldn't bore people with that. Johnny Cash's, that's very satisfying. There's an Elvis song called One Night as well. I know that one. Even though I'm no Elvis. Oh yeah, I think I know. I do too. We're covering it all the bases here because I do never ever all saints.

Great. Oh yeah. Reach S Club. There's one note I can't reach in it though. I won't say enough. Yeah. So I have to, I have to distract people. It's too high, Frank. Yeah, wait until... No, O'Meara had extraordinary range. I told you didn't know when I was in Hawaii. And we were doing a documentary and the producers' marriage had disintegrated just before we flew out. And he got up to the karaoke with surprise makers. He was, he was a melancholy. And he sat on the speaker and sang yesterday. Oh my God. It was absolutely... The blood was coming out the speakers. It was really... I'm awful. And we, I mean we knew what it happened. So it was worse me and the crew.

But I think the general Pontus sensed. The sensed, terrible gloom. He keeps the darkness. The performance. The darkness worked me out. Just in... Just in still gets good. Yeah. Yeah, yesterday. Get it off. You should get him doing reach. Yeah. He'd be all right. He had a full set of apparently. Oh. Justin. Yeah. Is it Justin Holtness or Hawkins? Hawkins, yeah, that was it. Yeah. And a gold cat suit. He loved it. And what's the... You know, I wouldn't like surprised people on Michael McIntyre's big news. Yeah. When like a music act turns up and they have to get in the lift. And when they get out there on stage and they have to sing. They did it to him. I have never, ever seen anyone who so obviously had been told what was going to happen. As they did. And I just know from having interviewed you then stuff. I don't think it was an agent in the world that would have risked not telling you.

So as soon as they said it was here, I thought, you're fucking now. And it was... He got to be took his shirt off in the first five seconds. Oh, it's so quick. He's always got his shirt off. He's got loads of tattoos all over his body. A little point of having tattoos all over your body if you're not going to take it. They like that a bit. They show them all. Secret tattoos. What's the point? We're going to have them on the inside. Oh, Justin. Okay. So, yeah, that was... Where was it at? Oh, it's a... It's called Happy Voice or something? Lucky Voice. Lucky Voice, that's it, yeah. I know. I don't know. They're the London Ways. We don't have them in the Black Country. We don't have them in Birmingham. Lucky Voice, yeah. So it was in... Oh, with Hawksdon. Yeah. There's a few of them that I've been to that one. Yeah. And it's funny because I always thought when you see it in films, karaoke's usually being done by someone in a bar, right? In the public space. Did it used to be like that? Yes, absolutely. Well, no, you go in a booth. Yeah. And I don't think that's a form.

Yes, it's the booth. No, it's a different thing. They've attached shame to it. They haven't, I don't like that because singing's a very joyful thing and we should all be doing it publicly. No, it is very... It's like a laboratory experiment. It's got no apps, really. What they should have is they should have a DJ. You know, that's the rock book gloves that come through the wall that you hand the lice of tops and that within a whole film. It really is that you've been put into it. Yeah. They're going to catch something from you. I think they've turned it into... There is a strange sort of... It's a bit more like the private dance. And we were talking about that recently, making the lap dancing club. I was explaining to you how it worked if you wanted a private dance. But I don't get that. And that must mean... Correct me if I'm wrong. I've never really been in one... I took bars to a booth karaoke. When it happened in bars and stuff, obviously it was loads of people. I had no intention of singing, but they just enjoyed being there. But I'm guessing in a booth everybody's going to sing of it.

Well, they're better singing because otherwise I'm doing all the songs. So yeah, you've got to have a group of people who want to do it. Yeah, you see. What they've done is they've sort of removed the audience. Yeah, I don't like it. There's a sort of intensity about it as well when you go into the booth. Even with a party, if there's like six or eight of you or something. It's like, come on, we've got to get the songs in. Yeah, I don't like it so much. No, I didn't realise. So it's the non-opening bars. Not really. The coyote ugly days are over. Not that I've ever seen. I think in the Black Crunchy definitely have pubs where I've walked past and there's karaoke going on at three in the afternoon and everyone is pissed. Yeah. And I think it all seems great. Is it what I call one of those pubs? Yeah. It was called something like the Pig's Trotter. Oh, it's a good one. And just the weirdest demographic, Mishmash of people. Yeah, the day time Nana drinking. Yeah, just, okay. The bloke who... In the afternoon. The bloke who's made redundant who sits with a half reading a second at novel.

Exactly that. Oh, God. Or someone's felt dead. Somebody with their leg in a cast, natural more. So I'm saying, I'm still have a line in. I'm not coming across it. Lonely divorces. Oh, yeah, I love that band. Yeah. I've been like their first album. Well, yeah, I'm going to look out for more sort of audience-based ones. But usually the group of people you with don't want other people to hear them singing. And I say, come on, come on. It's a bit of fun, isn't it? I like it. I think you need the right mix for karaoke if people who are shit. Yeah. People who are all right. And then only for me. I think it's a bit of fun. I think it's a bit of fun. Yeah. People who are all right. And then only for me in a night, only one person is brilliant. It's all like a tolerate. Definitely. Yes. I tell you what I don't like. Is the person who's brilliant and we all have to hear about it? Yeah, it's like cosplay. The person, they use the Japanese and they turn not me manga stuff. But look, that's it. They've had five people working on the little, they've had a pit stop. But I like it. I like the person who's made their own.

You know, they made their own clock camp. Keep your vibrato to yourself. Okay. Oh, you're right. Okay. Carlos Fubala's back. So, Hilton called him me the superstition concierge to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky. Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching bandwink up call it 555 and 55 seconds. Hit it! When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for this day. This episode is brought to you by PayPal. You know how a mom's bag has everything?

Do you want to hear, Frank, are you familiar with Joe Root? What, the Cricket? Yes. I know. Of course I know that you are, but I'm just saying this is amazing. He's probably our greatest ever batsman. Well, South End Sean says, this is an IEMU will understand. I'm currently watching the cricket and I've only just realised why Joe Root was on the 66th. Oh no, 66th on the back of his shirt. I mean, I get it, I think I get it. It's very clever. I didn't know that he wore 66, but when I saw that, I thought. The trouble is with those jokes. It's when I first saw it, of course, I thought, oh, that's funny, Joe Root's gone for Route 66. Because can I just establish, the crickets as they can choose their own shirt, doesn't correspond to a playing position, aren't they?

They can choose their own knob. No, sorry. It's just merely recognition. Right. But it's obviously based on the actual road route 66 and the R&B. So R&B, when it used to be in rhythm and blues. If you get a chance to go out west, that one, get your kicks on Route 66. In the days when people used to get kicks, which I don't think they do anymore. It's quite quaint, the concept of kicks. There's a bit, there's a song called Supersonic Rocketshoot by the Kink. And he said, on my supersonic rocket shoot, nobody has to be hip, nobody has to be out of sight. They've both gone off. Is his hip still around? It's now been adopted by hipsters. But nobody's out of sight anymore, either. Oh my God, nobody's out of sight. Outer sight. Yeah. Anyway, Joe Root, what were you saying about this? When you first saw it, you're... But when you've seen it for the 300th time, you think, obviously, you know.

It's lore of diminishing returns, I appreciate that. Yeah, but I suppose there's no people coming all the time. But I can't imagine many gens said, doesn't know what Route 66 is. Oh, do you think not? No, what would you? Route 66, I'd just note from the song. Yeah. And get a card of it, so I am a judge. Some of them read. Yeah. Yeah. Some of them know things. DMs, they read. Oh, yeah. Frank, can I ask you a question? Have you ever DM'd anyone? Never. Oh, I can't imagine that. Have you never DM'd anyone? No. I bet he receives. I wouldn't know how to do that. But Frank receives a few DMs. Have you ever opened a DM? I don't know. Where would it be? So, you don't have the socials, do you? Well, this is... I've unlisted DM. Oh, yes. Well, your team. Your team will be opening DMs for the whole bar. I'm afraid my team are no longer with us.

The last one died just to cut with a monster. It was always going to happen. Oh, dear. But what they'll be seeing is... You know, on Remembrance Day, when you get the veterans from... And every year there's a few less, that's how it was with my team. Are they dwindling? Yeah. You've got a big old team. You've got a personal assistant, management team. Yeah, a hubbler assist. You're practically Eddie Murphy. And so, he's still got to tell you. He's got a massive team. Well, he's got about eight kids. There's a lot of admin. A lot of life admin. Good on him. Next. I do like Eddie Murphy. He's my favourite laugh. What about... So, is that I've just worked out six for it, 66? Yeah. That was from South End Shaw and wanted to share that with you. We've also heard from Barry, from Como, Como, I think, like... I'm assuming. I'm assuming it. It's like Como. Is there a place called Como? Yeah.

There's Co-Como. One of my favourite beach boys songs. Yeah, I thought it was Beach Boys. I am, there's a place called Como, over. Well, it's a... A labyrinth suspension goes across the back. You'll definitely know some old Birmingham friends who will be living there. This is Barry from Co-Como. Sadly died at the Como. Well, that's because of the transplant. No, it's just men's shows, they're hands, no, thinking... No, no, it's the transplant. Because now, like no foot... You don't get more football as if you've got money, you'll just get a transplant. I know, but most people don't have money, and they just shave their hands, thinking in some way. They'll still spend it on the cosmetics. They prioritise cosmetic surgery over cars these days, Frank. I'm trying to think who's had the last prevalent comb over now. I'm thinking, Bobby Charlton. Well, that's probably not going to happen. It will have been a long time ago. No, no one has to courage anymore. No. It's a shame. There's a sense... There's a sense that the internet got rid of naivete,

and you need a certain naivete to see a comb over, and think that it is actually a forehead affair. It's hard to see how that ever worked. I don't know, but I think... You look like a lantern. It's what you end up looking like. But we all accepted. What I liked was that there was a social contract involved. We all accepted that it didn't work. I know you're bald, and it's going. I'd love that you're making the effort. I'm not sure we went that far down the road. I did, Frank, with these people. I know you're bald. I know you're bald. I don't think so. I don't think so. We were more naive in those days. You could hide stuff. Did you not believe they were? Did you not realise they were bald? I never went there. They'd put up a sign saying, I'm not bald, and I didn't want to dress fast.

When you saw what we used to call anchovies over a boiled egg? Did you realise? That was on the family network. I was telling that man because we know what anchovies were. Anchovies over a boiled egg was a classic 70s dinoparty sort of. It was kind of like a... What people at that? It was a huge thing in the 70s. Was it really? I love anchovies. Maybe it was a nation-wide thing. Well, I didn't discover them until they started putting them on pizzas. I would. That was a thing that you would serve. Like, that was a kind of prawn toast thing. I think we used to say a silver fish over a blister. But, you know, we're all different. I love the regions and their differences. So far. Anyway.

I can't do it. Sorry, you were saying it. I've just had a strong reaction to silver fish. Barry from Como says, Hey Frank, Miss Emma and Miss Husko. Oh! Well, Mr Red Butler, I don't know how to read it. You see, it's a Joshua from Coma. Well, he sounds a bit. Mr Red Butler. You think Miss Emma and Miss Husko. A good case of a non-minvasive determinism from the art director from Rodman Animations being called Frank Kitty Clay. Oh, come on. That is good. It can actually be a non-minvasive determinism. When your name leads you into doing certain things with your life. Yes. Although I'll be surprised if there's any, if there's an odd man. An odd man. I would imagine they're all Nelly Bingbongs. Nelly Bingbongs. Nelly Bingbongs.

I would have no sort of bloke. A bit like myself, I'd be sort of gentle and respect. Sort of, we might have a come over. Yeah, and should be so vulnerable. Well, I bet there isn't an odd man there, is there? Well, they're not in an odd man animation. No. They're not going to be troubling themselves, are they men with, sure, and the sheep and the like? No. You've got to be a sensitive, lovely type to make Wallace and Gromit. Do you like Wallace and Gromit, Frank? No. Who doesn't? Well, some might not. I do like, I like them. Well, odd men don't. Anyone who? They don't. If you had to say, who's the ultimate odd man? Is it the knee-jones? Oh, a hard man. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Hard man. I'd say Charles Robinson, the prisoner. Oh, yeah, lovely choice. Yeah. Lovely choice, sir. Matt, frankly, Fraser. Yeah, actual. I was going to say Jason Statham, but as he's brought the slightly iron-righted Frankie Fraser. Also, Frank, anyone born in the East End in the 1940s with the the in their name

someone? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got the hat, McVee. Yeah, yeah. It's going rich here, odd man, not really. I don't know who he might be. Okay, maybe he. I imagine he spends a lot of time at the gymnasium. And I see him in a roll-neck jumper with a large leather medicine ball rather than using modern equipment. I don't know why. He's the only man who has tweed shorts. Yeah. But you know, I saw an Instagram thing the other day of, do you know the chat? I was just showing off. Okay, I think I did. Come on. I was just talking about three shorts. I saw a video of, do you know the chase and Sean, they're on the dark destroyer? Yes, I do. I know chase people. He was on a, like, piece of gym equipment in jeans. Oh, I don't like that. Genes are like, jeans are like a chest press. And he had jeans on. I was a bit rushed.

I thought that was one of the many benefits of East Europeans arrive in England, was it 20 years ago? Was the sudden appearance of jeans in the gym on the other end? No, that's what I said. It's a bit beauty. Yeah, it is. It's very beauty. It's like, you know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's like, well, I think it's like, why bother? You know, it's sort of no nonsense. It's not sound on ceremony here. We've got work to be done. Let's not fanny around with shorts. Yeah, let's just go just like this and then go, I'm just like you. There's probably a Russian word called as is or something. I think that's an Arab word. So, no, I have not. I do like the chase though. I've not watched that. I do. Do you want to hear about one of your favourites, Frank Pete, the Disney character, is finally available. This is Chris and Wal-Soul, who says this is amazing news, Frank, Emily and Ruth.

Finally available as currency. He's on the new £10 note. No, Pete Merch, that would be great. Imagine a few Pete from Disney was on the new £10 note. Oh my God, I would love that. On the fourth place. And to Paul Kuspert. No controversy, just announced. There's no humour about it. No. It's just done deal. Exactly. There is now Pete Merch on the Disney site. This hasn't been available for years. And I know this because I've seen things where people have said, oh my daughter wanted to read the Pete Merch and Disney like there is no Pete Merch and I's available. We do not sell Pete Merch and I's. Oh. There were no characters dressed as Pete as well at Disney World. Really? I wonder if that's because he's a bit unpleasant. I don't know. It's one of the few people in Disney's original drama. There's a darkness there. Yeah.

It wasn't a lot of loving character. I suppose Donald Duck actually is. But Frankie's a bit just can be a bit snappy and grumpy. Yeah. No snappy and grumpy, I think it was another. They would discard it for so long. No, it's not. No, grumpy made it. No snappy. Snappy didn't. Snappy didn't make it. But I think. I think he had the brittle bone. Oh, Paul. No, it was in the brow print. No longer with us. But I think you're absolutely right. I think Donald Duck. If they put a statue of Prince on the fourth plinth, would he get massive compliance from people with lists? Let's find out. We cannot want this. I'm happy to be a human statue. It's Prince. I'd like you on the fourth plinth. That'd be great for you. Yeah, that's what they wouldn't be. Imagine Frank on a £10 note. That should happen. I suppose I used to fancy on the Turner.

Who was it? Who was the one with the Curly Herp Frank? Duke Wellington. I think it was him. He was gorgeous. Did you remember him? No. If anyone found him, he'd say it was on the Curly Herp. I like Vince Cable and the Man on the £10 note. I think it... What was it, Duke Wellington Frank? Duke Wellington was definitely on one of them. He did it out of the head of Curly Herp. Yeah, that was the one. No, there was one who was an absolute stone cold box on that £10 note. Anyway, I think you're the one who's got the most. I think you're the one who's got the most. I think you're the one who's got the most. I think you're the one who's got the most. What do you think about that £10 note? Anyway. I think you're the one who liked him. He lived, of course, at the best address of anyone's ever had. What was it? His house was number one London. Oh, there. That's what I'm after. I mean... I can't. I meet a man with that address. I mean, it's the man who's the address ever. Oh, come on. Can you... Oh, that's so amazing. Yeah. Oh, I'm really... That's incredible. It's a sort of address. But you would see on a letter in... If there was a postman in Wallace and Grommit, that would be one of the letters in his back.

You don't have one letter. Or an address you give when you stop by the police. Yes, you're right, it's very Paddington, isn't it? As Wallace got a comb over. Oh, good point. Has anything keys bowled? They all are. The comb overs are bowled as well. Well, I didn't know that. The news is out. Oh, I never knew Terry Wogan was wearing a wig. Is that right? No, I worked with Terry Wogan only had three weeks. Did he? That he would put a week's one, two and three. So his hair became longer. So it, and then he'd go back to one like it had a haircut. But to be fair to him, he had that psoriasist thing on the scalp. Oh, did he? He couldn't really have been on telly without it. He didn't know that. It would have been... I've just shown this is one of the ones I fancied on the... And then he was on a 50. And that's so Christopher Ren. Oh, okay. He looks a bit like Andy's Oldsman.

Well, that's a bit awkward. He's a very funny, nice man and he's Oldsman. But I don't have those feelings for him. And just to finish... Quietly, it's on the... On the monitor. Well, let's see what his address is first, because I'm telling you, if it starts with a one and ends with a London, he could be in with a shower. Pete! His address is probably 183 for four, declared. I understand that. I like that. Good. Frank, so the news is the Pete merch is now available. Pete is finally emerging from goofy, Mickey and Co's shadow. Now young children will finally be able to go to bed, cuddling their favourite of noxious villainous archnemesis of Mickey Mouse. Okay. I have looked... I thought we'd put a stop to that with you, Trey. It's Frank's Skinner Podcast.
