03:28.243 --> 03:29.845 What's it like in New York? 03:30.445 --> 03:35.249 I don't know, I've never been there, but apparently the buildings are tiny. 03:35.290 --> 03:37.191 Very narrow and squat. 03:38.673 --> 03:43.897 And the people are very thin and small and poor and they're furious. 03:43.997 --> 03:45.178 The cars are all blue. 03:45.919 --> 03:49.762 And the roads are very narrow. 03:49.822 --> 03:51.823 What kind of taxis do they have taxis? 03:51.904 --> 03:52.564 Yeah, they do. 03:52.624 --> 03:56.547 They have orange taxis, round, perfectly round orange taxis. 03:56.707 --> 03:59.029 With the word taxi spelled in balloons. 03:59.709 --> 04:00.350 Is that true? 04:00.670 --> 04:01.891 What do you mean spelled in balloons? 04:01.971 --> 04:04.813 Like they've made balloons into the word taxi. 04:04.893 --> 04:06.474 That's right, that's right, that's right. 04:06.574 --> 04:07.415 They're helium balloons. 04:07.455 --> 04:09.276 It takes ages to maintain them all. 04:09.316 --> 04:10.317 Everybody speaks German. 04:10.597 --> 04:11.378 Do they really? 04:11.658 --> 04:13.239 What an amazing place, I'd love to go. 04:13.539 --> 04:15.300 If there's any New York people listening. 04:15.880 --> 04:16.920 Are those facts correct? 04:17.281 --> 04:18.901 Some of them are, come on, some of them have got to be. 04:20.102 --> 04:21.643 That's what it says in Encyclopedia. 04:21.823 --> 04:23.223 Yeah, that's what it says in Wikipedia. 04:23.443 --> 04:26.145 It says weasel words next to the balloon thing. 04:26.525 --> 04:27.005 What does that mean? 04:27.205 --> 04:32.588 You know, in Wikipedia, when you get something that's clearly unsubstantiated, it says brackets weasel words. 04:32.648 --> 04:32.968 Really? 04:33.068 --> 04:33.328 Yeah. 04:34.488 --> 04:35.889 It's just quite a good phrase, isn't it? 04:36.209 --> 04:37.790 Weasel's a very distrustful. 04:37.970 --> 04:40.731 I mean basically we we just speak in this is the weasel word show. 04:41.131 --> 04:44.012 That's all we do is speak in weasel words. 04:44.393 --> 04:49.114 So last week's Song Wars listeners was a battle of songs about festivals. 04:50.095 --> 04:54.016 Mine was about Glastonbury Adams was a broader sort of festival song. 04:54.256 --> 04:57.458 It was about the kind of posture end of the festival going experience. 04:57.518 --> 05:04.680 The general consensus just having a look at a lot of the emails is that mine was lyrically poor but maybe musically 05:06.281 --> 05:07.382 Possibly a little bit better. 05:07.582 --> 05:10.003 Well you had that amazing middle eight, the trippy middle eight. 05:10.023 --> 05:10.543 I wasn't that amazing. 05:10.823 --> 05:11.664 Not sure it was amazing. 05:11.684 --> 05:12.584 I liked it, it was impressive. 05:13.064 --> 05:13.444 Thank you. 05:13.805 --> 05:18.147 But generally the listeners seem to think that yours was lyrically superior. 05:18.527 --> 05:19.567 I'd probably agree with them. 05:19.667 --> 05:20.508 I had more lyrics. 05:20.988 --> 05:21.628 More lyrics. 05:21.968 --> 05:23.169 Maybe a cleverer angle. 05:23.629 --> 05:24.690 A less obvious angle. 05:24.870 --> 05:26.651 I need to think a bit more just generally. 05:27.891 --> 05:31.773 So we'll reveal the results of Song Wars after the next record, why not? 05:31.974 --> 05:35.536 Yeah, now this is a track that I've chosen for you listeners, which I've played before. 05:35.576 --> 05:41.419 I played it on Stephen Merchant's show when I was a guest on there, but it's a different show though, isn't it? 05:41.859 --> 05:44.121 Maybe some of our listeners won't have heard it and they'll enjoy it. 05:44.241 --> 05:45.802 And this is by Silver Jews. 05:46.122 --> 05:47.983 That's a good name for a band, I think. 05:48.663 --> 05:50.525 And that's one of the great names for a band. 05:50.565 --> 05:54.107 And this guy, I always forget, he's got a pavement connection. 05:54.827 --> 05:58.250 Uh, I think he's just friends with Stephen Malcolmus, who plays on this album. 05:58.591 --> 06:00.893 Maybe some of our listeners can correct me if I'm wrong about that. 06:01.213 --> 06:06.238 But this is an album called American Water, and he's a brilliant, sort of, non-singer, this guy. 06:06.558 --> 06:09.301 He's also a great lyricist, and this is a track called People. 06:09.521 --> 06:18.070 Enjoy, which, and this track, incidentally, gives its name, one of the lyrics in here, gives its name to the band Suburban Kids, with biblical names, who we'll be playing later on in the show. 06:18.090 --> 06:19.291 This is Silver Jews with People. 06:19.771 --> 06:26.519 That sounds to me as if Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs decided to launch a music career. 06:27.060 --> 06:31.885 That might be the kind of song he might compose between putting lotion in buckets. 06:34.588 --> 06:37.911 I'm tucking his old dodge between his thighs and doing a dance. 06:39.032 --> 06:45.038 At one stage, the lyrics of that song said something about, I like seeing rainbows in water hoses. 06:45.278 --> 06:46.119 In a garden hose. 06:46.259 --> 06:47.080 In a garden hose. 06:47.200 --> 06:49.662 And then...

Channel 4 faces from the channel to talk about a theme. 16:54.882 --> 16:55.062 Yeah. 16:55.262 --> 17:00.284 And we're not really faces from the channel so much as part of the BBC Extended Family, right? 17:00.404 --> 17:00.724 Yeah. 17:00.905 --> 17:04.426 Because we haven't... our faces haven't been on a tele for some time. 17:05.106 --> 17:08.208 But we are going to have to talk about culture. 17:08.928 --> 17:10.288 So what does culture mean to you? 17:10.308 --> 17:11.589 Have you got something worked out, Joe? 17:11.889 --> 17:12.349 Not really. 17:12.489 --> 17:13.890 I thought of the obvious things. 17:14.750 --> 17:16.731 The thing about taking a hoarder water. 17:16.751 --> 17:18.351 Do you remember that? 17:19.812 --> 17:20.752 Oh yeah, hoarder culture. 17:20.952 --> 17:22.053 Yeah, sorry, to culture. 17:22.353 --> 17:24.113 But you can't make her think. 17:24.474 --> 17:24.974 Right, right. 17:25.274 --> 17:26.494 Yeah, I thought of that one. 17:26.674 --> 17:27.475 Yeah, that's a good one. 17:27.575 --> 17:28.195 It's tricky though. 17:28.255 --> 17:30.196 How do you do that kind of thing and not sound really pretentious? 17:30.216 --> 17:31.456 Well, there's only two ways to go, isn't it? 17:31.476 --> 17:36.378 You can either be serious, in which case you're a ponce, unless you're very clever, which we aren't. 17:37.078 --> 17:37.879 Or you can be glib. 17:38.960 --> 17:39.861 I think we should go for glib. 17:39.881 --> 17:40.781 Yeah, we reckon. 17:40.962 --> 17:42.543 So we'd like your suggestions, listeners. 17:42.603 --> 17:47.127 Please text them 64046 of what we should say to the camera crew. 17:47.287 --> 17:49.468 But listen, they don't have to be glib suggestions. 17:49.709 --> 17:51.230 You know, we always welcome a glib suggestion. 17:51.250 --> 17:57.135 But if it's a serious suggestion about what culture means to you, then so much the better, because then then we might actually have something intelligent to say. 17:57.155 --> 17:58.115 What are they going to say to us? 17:58.136 --> 18:02.859 They'll sit us down and plop the camera down and then they'll just say, Come on, guys, talk about culture. 18:02.879 --> 18:03.520 What is culture? 18:03.740 --> 18:19.368 You mean to you I mean I was having this discussion with my wife last night So we all liked to talk about culture and she was saying that she didn't believe there was any such thing as really indigenous British culture Yeah, this is a serious conversation we had which I said were you talking about? 18:19.388 --> 18:29.273 There's loads of things that are typically British part of British culture and the only thing she could think of that was quintessentially British was Morris dancing right as the only one and 18:30.153 --> 18:34.194 Uh, you know, what about, uh... And I couldn't, I mean, I couldn't think of that many other things. 18:34.214 --> 18:39.656 I would say football is very much associated with British culture, but then it's a very global thing. 18:39.676 --> 18:40.856 Football as well, though, isn't it? 18:41.116 --> 18:42.737 Well, I'd say your wife is insane. 18:43.057 --> 18:44.437 Yeah, well, what do you, what would you come up with? 18:44.537 --> 18:50.359 Well, I'd come up with every writer, filmmaker, musician, classical composer. 18:50.379 --> 18:52.140 Yes, I know, but they're individual parts. 18:52.180 --> 18:56.001 Yes, but their work, when gathered together, is British culture. 18:56.881 --> 19:03.048 Every television program maker, every artist, every person who's created something. 19:03.168 --> 19:04.729 That's one way of looking at culture, though. 19:04.749 --> 19:05.590 There's many other ways. 19:05.630 --> 19:09.414 I mean, there's culture in a broader sense, and that's what she was talking about. 19:09.434 --> 19:10.535 This is what I'm going to be saying. 19:10.575 --> 19:14.159 And they're not going to be able to use it, because it's just going to turn into an argument. 19:15.504 --> 19:16.485 a long-winded argument. 19:16.525 --> 19:18.306 So we'd like to hear your suggestions anyway. 19:18.526 --> 19:26.371 What do you consider to be a part of, A, what makes up culture in the first place, and B, what do you think is part of British culture? 19:26.811 --> 19:30.554 Now this isn't a text the nation thing, I'm just curious about this, we can trickle this throughout the show. 19:30.594 --> 19:32.275 What about some kind of Yakult's joke? 19:33.095 --> 19:35.698 Yeah, well, I was thinking about saying something like that. 19:35.738 --> 19:38.682 Yeah, something about growing cultures and microbes. 19:39.262 --> 19:43.107 And, you know, Mark, what's his name with the quiff?

19:56.114 --> 20:09.338 Now, I was in the lift today, and as I was coming up, my MP3 player, which was on shuffle mode, suddenly loudly started playing Coldplay, and I got a little bit embarrassed for a second. 20:09.478 --> 20:10.598 There's no reason for that, is there? 20:10.618 --> 20:15.200 It was a brilliant song, the scientist, wonderful, moving song, but it was just a knee-jerk reaction. 20:15.740 --> 20:16.780 It's pathetic, isn't it? 20:17.200 --> 20:18.441 Well, it is shallow. 20:18.481 --> 20:19.101 It is pathetic. 20:19.141 --> 20:24.183 But sometimes some Coldplay songs do trigger BBC sports montages in my head. 20:24.543 --> 20:28.525 You know, when they reach their emotional climax, I just think of a series of great goals. 20:28.705 --> 20:28.965 Yeah. 20:30.026 --> 20:30.686 And is that good? 20:30.826 --> 20:31.566 I suppose that's good. 20:31.926 --> 20:33.287 Yeah, if they're amazing goals. 20:33.587 --> 20:36.650 Yeah, or maybe somebody at the X Factor losing. 20:36.871 --> 20:37.131 Right. 20:37.451 --> 20:39.013 That's the other thing that Coldplay reminded me of. 20:39.033 --> 20:40.134 But I felt ashamed of myself. 20:40.154 --> 20:47.422 You know, I was in the lift, there was another person there, and I was thinking, oh, it would have been nice if it was something a bit more indie or obscure that they were hearing blaring out of my headphones. 20:48.183 --> 20:50.085 But instead it was The Scientist by Coldplay. 20:50.799 --> 20:55.901 But then they're very popular and extremely talented and they've got a new single that you can hear on George Lamb's show during the week. 20:55.961 --> 20:57.222 It's called Violet Hill. 20:58.283 --> 20:59.143 That sounds exciting. 20:59.203 --> 21:02.405 Tuesday about it gets its first airing on Tuesday, Violet Hill. 21:02.425 --> 21:05.666 Maybe it's a misprint and it's a violent Hill, maybe. 21:06.066 --> 21:07.387 But here's some old play. 21:07.647 --> 21:08.347 This is talk. 21:08.487 --> 21:17.692 That's an exciting new band called Coldplay with a very handsome lead singer with curly hair who is rumored to be going out with Connie Huck. 21:17.932 --> 21:19.353 – Connie Hock, that's true, isn't it?

32:13.548 --> 32:13.988 Oh, boy. 32:14.228 --> 32:15.068 What would you say, Joe? 32:15.648 --> 32:16.109 I don't know. 32:16.189 --> 32:16.929 I feel sleepy. 32:17.409 --> 32:18.229 Feel a little bit sleepy. 32:18.269 --> 32:19.490 Yeah, a little bit drowsy. 32:19.590 --> 32:25.333 Well, on the show, you assured me that, uh, no, criteria could be used in the singular as well. 32:25.353 --> 32:27.574 So you could say it's the only criterion. 32:27.734 --> 32:28.115 Not true. 32:28.775 --> 32:29.375 Is that so? 32:29.495 --> 32:29.695 Yeah. 32:29.896 --> 32:32.197 Criterion is always the singular. 32:32.797 --> 32:37.159 If it's the only criterion, you have to say that it's the single criterion. 32:37.239 --> 32:39.941 If there are many criteria, you have to use the plural. 32:40.481 --> 32:40.761 Right. 32:40.881 --> 32:41.101 Yeah. 32:41.141 --> 32:41.842 This is good, isn't it?

33:50.627 --> 33:52.087 How could it have slipped through the net? 33:52.367 --> 33:52.948 We're stupid. 33:53.068 --> 33:54.068 We're stupid? 33:54.628 --> 33:59.896 So here on the Adam and Jo radio show on BBC6 Music we've been attempting recently to provoke some feuds. 34:01.018 --> 34:05.905 You may have heard about our top gear encounter at the big awards ceremony where we won a big award. 34:06.746 --> 34:09.170 We take every opportunity to remind you of that award. 34:10.411 --> 34:15.573 We tried to pick a fight with Top Gear and engage them in a feud, but it hasn't really worked. 34:16.194 --> 34:18.034 All the effort was coming from our side, wasn't it? 34:18.114 --> 34:20.596 It was like punching someone and they didn't bother punching back. 34:20.656 --> 34:22.636 They just turned the other cheek and sort of walked away. 34:22.716 --> 34:23.317 They drove off. 34:23.497 --> 34:31.240 We wanted to try and harness ourselves onto their massive wagon of success by provoking a fight, but no, it hasn't worked. 34:31.260 --> 34:32.120 They've just rumbled on. 34:32.140 --> 34:33.101 I was quite relieved. 34:33.781 --> 34:57.466 Yeah, I'm relieved as well the feuds however that we didn't really want to pick that has rumbled on those the our half I was thinking about this in the week I was wondering if really gonna a couple of weeks ago Adam made some they weren't necessarily Disparaging but they were certainly interpreted as such by some our half fans He made some comments about the fact that our heart were doing this tour where the three individual members of the band play individual sets But they never play together they're playing at the end 34:57.526 --> 34:59.087 Albert Hall in a few weeks. 34:59.247 --> 35:04.509 Adam was implying that perhaps people might come to see them as our heart. 35:04.529 --> 35:05.969 Your words are being twisted already. 35:05.989 --> 35:06.809 What were you implying? 35:06.930 --> 35:17.013 I was asking what the point of doing that was and I was suggesting that it might be a little pathetic to gather your solo efforts under the banner of the band that you are refusing to perform as. 35:17.814 --> 35:18.794 Nice feudstoking. 35:20.355 --> 35:22.095 Because that's what you said two weeks ago. 35:22.435 --> 35:26.237 Just said again and then last week we were discussing it more and were you apologizing or were you... 35:27.457 --> 35:51.206 uh no no i'm just putting the point of view of aha fans and making yes exactly i was reading out a very angry email from a big aha fan saying that uh you know they're brilliant and it's a great idea for them all to perform because they've all got their solo identities and blah blah blah blah and they'll be playing future aha shows that's something i didn't realize actually i didn't realize that there was still an ongoing touring concern so here's another email that's come in 35:51.866 --> 35:53.908 from somebody called Mark. 35:54.448 --> 36:02.895 He says, you seem to rub your face in this whole mess every week and say the most ridiculous of observations about the best band in the world. 36:03.295 --> 36:04.796 Say the most ridiculous of observations. 36:04.836 --> 36:11.321 The three members of Aha have a huge catalog of their own songs, with which to form quite a number of concerts each. 36:12.122 --> 36:19.127 Which is why it is that just about everyone seems to see them as some sort of cheap euro trash band that is merely eye candy. 36:19.427 --> 36:21.309 This is so far from the truth. 36:21.849 --> 36:33.958 I might have to jam a fork in your eye to know in my eye to stop myself from going on some crusade to teach people that Mags, Morton and Paul are simply sublime artists in and outside of Aha. 36:34.238 --> 36:37.461 And no one knows just how feverishly good the songs they write are. 36:37.901 --> 36:43.068 Do not make snap judgments about them again, without hearing their vast quantity of amazing songs. 36:43.088 --> 36:43.428 Fair enough. 36:43.749 --> 36:48.655 No band is as good as A-ha-ha, and no band has ever delivered a work of genius after genius after genius. 36:48.715 --> 36:50.577 Now he's gone into a sort of mental land. 36:51.579 --> 36:52.460 I know you won't read this out. 36:52.480 --> 36:52.960 I was with him before. 36:53.641 --> 37:02.465 Yeah, but who cares just so long as you read it and our horror from Norway What we saying Sweden probably maybe possibly that's very lazy. 37:02.525 --> 37:04.526 So this but this could be a better feud couldn't it? 37:05.387 --> 37:08.528 Why because that it's more like seem to be responding to it. 37:08.608 --> 37:20.674 Well, yeah, I'm less frightened of our half and certainly than I would be of Top tier yeah, yeah, our half fans are very beautiful and they've got long fingers and fragile arms and 37:20.774 --> 37:25.315 Although, on the other hand, with some of those kind of bands, you know... They do have long fingers and fragile arms. 37:25.375 --> 37:26.355 Like Morten Harkett. 37:26.415 --> 37:27.215 Like aliens. 37:27.356 --> 37:29.756 If they tried to punch you, they'd just snap. 37:29.776 --> 37:30.696 He's very muscly. 37:31.016 --> 37:31.957 No, he's very muscly. 37:31.997 --> 37:33.457 Jude's saying you couldn't take on the Harkett. 37:33.477 --> 37:35.557 Well, you see, the thing is... Harkett's a muscle man. 37:35.617 --> 37:38.818 ...that Jude, our producer, is a very big, genuine fan of Aha. 37:38.838 --> 37:42.359 So, if you're upset by our comments about Aha, take Harkett and the fact that... 37:43.039 --> 37:43.800 Uh, Jude likes them. 37:43.820 --> 37:44.540 Take her heart. 37:44.600 --> 37:45.601 Take her heart. 37:46.061 --> 37:49.924 Uh, I think it's a fair point that he makes that I should listen to some of their solo work. 37:50.104 --> 37:50.465 And I am going to. 37:50.485 --> 37:51.526 Should we play some Aha next week? 37:51.566 --> 37:52.847 Well, I'm going to endeavor to do so. 37:53.207 --> 37:54.027 Where should I start? 37:54.148 --> 37:57.410 Maybe he could suggest, uh, where I should start with their solo albums. 37:57.450 --> 38:01.293 Could you suggest the best solo albums by each of the three members of Aha? 38:01.693 --> 38:11.821 I swear to you, I will listen to them in their entirety, and I will pick what I consider to be the best track out of those three albums that you've recommended, and we will play it on the show. 38:11.841 --> 38:13.742 There you go, Mark, there's a challenge, okay? 38:14.503 --> 38:19.467 Um, so you're welcome to keep the Aha feud rumbling on, and I'll do my best to be reasonable about it, but... 38:19.687 --> 38:20.347 What was he saying? 38:20.427 --> 38:23.688 They're the best band in the world and they've done genius after genius. 38:23.888 --> 38:25.229 You know, I've only heard. 38:25.329 --> 38:26.389 Take on me, I've heard. 38:26.789 --> 38:28.710 The Sun Always Shines on TV, I've heard. 38:28.790 --> 38:30.330 The theme from the James Bond movie. 38:30.370 --> 38:31.110 All very good. 38:31.450 --> 38:32.151 All fine. 38:32.171 --> 38:33.471 I don't know about very good. 38:33.491 --> 38:34.251 I'd say very good. 38:34.471 --> 38:35.752 They're all absolutely fine. 38:36.192 --> 38:38.292 As good as anything by Strawberry Switchblade. 38:38.452 --> 38:39.893 Hey, no, that's not true. 38:40.453 --> 38:41.613 I'm giving a feud with you now. 38:41.673 --> 38:42.413 Candy flip. 38:42.794 --> 38:43.954 They're much better than that. 38:44.454 --> 38:45.194 Come on. 38:45.254 --> 38:46.975 Hey, you're putting down strawberry switchblade. 38:47.015 --> 38:47.736 They were very good. 38:48.136 --> 38:48.436 You know?

39:57.660 --> 40:02.101 Oh yes, this is something we were talking about last week and it's something that we've, we've sort of skirted around before. 40:02.141 --> 40:13.483 It's not like a mind-blowingly original topic for, for, for text fun, but it's always enjoyable to hear people's anecdotes about times that they have humiliated themselves in front of celebrities. 40:14.028 --> 40:23.832 Yeah, if you've met a famous person, someone you idolise, or maybe someone that you don't care that much about, but is very famous, and made a complete tit of yourself in front of them. 40:24.212 --> 40:25.052 I would say tottie. 40:25.552 --> 40:26.693 A tottie of yourselves. 40:26.713 --> 40:27.253 Yeah, yeah. 40:27.593 --> 40:29.274 But you know, it happens because... 40:29.714 --> 40:34.597 sometimes you just feel compelled to go up and talk to famous people, because you think it'll be sort of fun, you know? 40:34.857 --> 40:50.187 You see a famous person, you might not even be a big fan of theirs, but you think, I'm going to go up and talk to them, and I'm going to galvanize the small part of myself that has any appreciation for their irvula whatsoever, and I'm going to go out and pay them a compliment just for the fun of it, you know, so I can interact with their famous world. 40:50.767 --> 40:55.831 And usually it goes wrong, or you come out of it feeling a bit ludicrous, like, why did I do that? 40:56.751 --> 41:01.353 I was talking to a friend of mine last weekend who had an encounter that I hope she won't mind me relating. 41:01.753 --> 41:03.713 I'll call her Janine. 41:04.313 --> 41:11.736 And Janine was with her children, shopping at Tesca's, and she saw at the end of the aisle, Lisa Tarbuck. 41:12.456 --> 41:13.396 Wow. 41:13.636 --> 41:17.137 Actress, presenter, and all-round good egg. 41:17.618 --> 41:20.018 And she suddenly thought, ooh, Lisa Tarbuck. 41:20.498 --> 41:21.439 What's Lisa Tarbuck? 41:21.719 --> 41:23.039 I'm going to talk to her. 41:23.499 --> 41:25.240 I feel compelled to talk to Tarbuck. 41:25.680 --> 41:27.562 And I'm going to, and she was thinking, what can I say? 41:27.582 --> 41:28.823 What's Tarbuck's latest thing? 41:28.863 --> 41:31.365 I'm trying to place Tarbuck on the telescope at the moment. 41:31.525 --> 41:34.628 Well, she pops up in, in the show within a show in extras. 41:35.128 --> 41:35.869 That's true. 41:36.189 --> 41:40.733 She is, she does a lot of sort of ITV drama, comedy drama type stuff. 41:40.833 --> 41:41.914 She's always working, man. 41:41.934 --> 41:42.335 She's good. 41:43.015 --> 41:53.057 Anyway, she also does a certain amount of radio work and she regularly, I believe, fills in for Steve Wright, along with Mark Radcliffe. 41:53.497 --> 41:59.399 They pair up and they provide excellent, depping work when Steve Wright is otherwise indisposed. 41:59.939 --> 42:05.980 So, my friend Janine, she thought, I'm going to pay her a compliment about how good she is when she fills in for Steve Wright. 42:06.680 --> 42:08.181 That was her gambit, right? 42:08.641 --> 42:16.024 So she skirts around Tarbark for quite a while while she's shopping, but she keeps chickening out at the last minute, and she's like, no, I can't do it. 42:16.084 --> 42:17.724 No, I can't. 42:17.944 --> 42:22.326 So she chickens out, and she's in the car park at Tesco's, and she's loading her stuff. 42:22.346 --> 42:23.627 She's got the children running around there. 42:23.647 --> 42:25.447 It's always a dangerous time when you're in the car park. 42:25.467 --> 42:26.348 You don't want to keep an eye on them. 42:26.368 --> 42:29.789 You don't want them to run out in front of the cars, and you've got to load the shopping in the back of the car. 42:30.518 --> 42:33.360 And then suddenly, ah, from nowhere, Tarbuck. 42:33.641 --> 42:34.842 She's there again, right? 42:35.262 --> 42:37.424 And our friend Janine looks over and goes, oh, Tarbuck! 42:37.444 --> 42:39.626 This is my last chance to pay her a compliment! 42:40.188 --> 42:41.569 So she drives a big rig. 42:41.929 --> 42:42.249 She does. 42:42.269 --> 42:42.810 How do you know that? 42:42.850 --> 42:43.410 The tar truck. 42:43.430 --> 42:43.930 It's well known. 42:43.950 --> 42:44.551 It's well known. 42:44.651 --> 42:45.211 The buck truck. 42:47.252 --> 42:48.153 Well, Java! 42:50.194 --> 42:51.615 It's not like a big, big rig. 42:51.655 --> 42:52.275 It's not like you, Bank. 42:52.295 --> 42:52.395 It is. 42:52.415 --> 42:53.115 It's like convoy. 42:54.696 --> 42:55.917 It's not like you, Bank's convoy truck. 42:55.937 --> 42:58.058 That wasn't my joke, but she does really drive a big one. 42:58.078 --> 42:58.398 Well, no, no, no. 42:58.418 --> 43:00.279 Apparently she drives a nice car, though. 43:00.319 --> 43:02.641 My friend was saying, like, quite a big meaty car. 43:03.201 --> 43:08.825 Anyway, she was loading the bags in the back of the car, and at that moment, Tarbuck emerges. 43:09.045 --> 43:12.527 She turns round to address her comments to Tarbuck, drops the bags. 43:12.627 --> 43:13.027 Oh God. 43:13.067 --> 43:19.952 There's food all over the floor and all over the car park, and she's still trying to pay her a compliment. 43:19.972 --> 43:21.653 She sort of goes around and says, I like it. 43:22.133 --> 43:24.995 I like it when you fill in on the radio. 43:26.696 --> 43:27.236 I like it. 43:27.577 --> 43:28.077 I like it. 43:28.117 --> 43:29.418 Good when you fill in on the radio. 43:30.178 --> 43:36.119 Um, and Tarbuck looks, uh, looks harried and doesn't, doesn't look in the mood to hear about it at all. 43:36.599 --> 43:42.280 And also it's a little bit of a weird situation because does she start helping her picking up her food and stuff like that? 43:42.700 --> 43:43.601 No, because she's busy. 43:43.621 --> 43:44.441 She's jumping in her car. 43:44.461 --> 43:50.322 The last thing she wants to deal with is someone else's problems and also to deal with this little conversation. 43:50.862 --> 43:52.642 So Tarbuck sort of brushes her off a little bit. 43:52.722 --> 43:54.743 Or so my friend Janine thought I suggested to her. 43:54.763 --> 43:55.443 What does Tarbuck say? 43:55.843 --> 44:01.487 Well, she just sort of went, oh thanks, and climbed in her car and shot off, but my friend was left absolutely humiliated. 44:01.728 --> 44:04.350 Talbot clearly wasn't rude in any way whatsoever. 44:04.690 --> 44:07.732 It's not in her nature, I don't think, having met her once or twice, very nice person. 44:08.233 --> 44:21.563 But my friend felt absolutely devastated afterwards, because she was just full of self-loathing and embarrassment and humiliation that she'd had this kind of psychodrama raging in her head right the way through her shopping trip, and it was so unfulfillingly concluded, you know. 44:22.143 --> 44:30.526 Anyway, we want to hear stories that are maybe a bit more dramatic than that even, if there can be such a thing, and maybe we'll tell you some of ours as well in the next few minutes. 44:30.946 --> 44:32.986 So, are we okay with texting? 44:33.066 --> 44:34.167 We are! 44:34.267 --> 44:48.051 Okay, so you can text your stories about humiliating encounters with celebrities on 64046, or you can email us, and the address is AdamAndJoe, A-N-D-Joe, .6music at bbc.co.uk. 44:49.691 --> 44:50.551 It's trail time. 44:50.571 --> 44:53.112 It's a little bit insulting to television though, isn't it? 44:53.132 --> 44:54.272 I mean, goodness sake. 44:54.593 --> 44:56.873 That's the Disposable Heroes of Hippoprosy. 44:56.913 --> 44:58.634 This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music. 44:58.734 --> 45:00.094 It's time now for the news. 45:00.494 --> 45:04.176 In some ways, I wish Britain was the 51st state of the USA. 45:04.556 --> 45:08.077 Then we'd have better fast food, cheaper car hire. 45:08.797 --> 45:09.558 What's going on there? 45:09.638 --> 45:11.539 That's a little, um, out- what it does. 45:11.619 --> 45:13.581 Out-groove the Matt Johnson thing, yeah. 45:13.881 --> 45:14.261 Don't you? 45:14.281 --> 45:18.284 You know, telly, we get all the American shows, we get the movies sooner. 45:18.304 --> 45:18.845 Yeah. 45:19.045 --> 45:19.625 Well, we are. 45:19.665 --> 45:24.569 I mean, we basically... What's the time lag now between America and the UK movies? 45:24.589 --> 45:27.251 Depends where about... Oh, movie-wise, yeah, not that long, that's true. 45:27.691 --> 45:29.732 Not the actual time difference. 45:31.172 --> 45:32.372 No, you know, we essentially are. 45:32.392 --> 45:41.935 I mean, when Matt Johnson recorded that song, that was back in the 80s, and he was standing there, canute-like, trying to hold back the tidal wave of American culture. 45:42.155 --> 45:43.375 Too late for that now, mate. 45:43.895 --> 45:48.996 No one's singing songs about this being the 51st day of the USA now, because it's... It's a foregone conclusion. 45:49.016 --> 45:50.237 It's a moot point, isn't it? 45:50.357 --> 45:51.737 It's true to come true. 45:52.377 --> 45:53.137 Johnson, he was right. 45:53.217 --> 45:55.338 Once we feel sick... Should've listened to Johnson. 45:56.618 --> 45:58.959 Now, this is the Adam and Jo Show on Six Music. 45:58.979 --> 46:06.442 We're in the midst of Text the Nation and we're asking you to relate to us your stories about times when you have humiliated yourself in front of a celebrity. 46:06.482 --> 46:07.403 I've got so many. 46:08.063 --> 46:12.005 Well, we were discussing the fact during the break there that 46:12.865 --> 46:36.757 you know sometimes these humiliations are only in the mind of the people themselves who have who reckon they've humiliated themselves you know that the celebrity in question won't be aware of it because someone comes up to you out of the blue and shakes your hand or whatever you just say hey nice to meet you whatever that's it they go about their business none the whiter but it's but there's a whole inner world of turmoil going on in the person who's uh gone up to them right and they think oh 46:36.937 --> 46:38.179 Oh, and I shouldn't have said it like that. 46:38.459 --> 46:39.300 Oh, no, I don't. 46:39.360 --> 46:40.021 I'm an idiot. 46:40.061 --> 46:40.801 Why did I do that? 46:40.861 --> 46:43.244 I've made myself seem less important than him. 46:43.324 --> 46:45.967 And, you know, why am I any less of a person than he is? 46:46.227 --> 46:48.810 Oh, she is a massive psychological contradiction, isn't there? 46:48.850 --> 46:50.752 Because you feel you know the famous person. 46:50.772 --> 46:54.837 Yeah, the famous person doesn't know you, but knows you know their work. 46:56.038 --> 46:57.880 And then you have to bridge that kind of 46:58.661 --> 47:02.143 you know, chasm of knowledge and ignorance with some kind of idle chitchat. 47:02.403 --> 47:02.683 Yes. 47:02.963 --> 47:04.003 Which is very difficult. 47:04.424 --> 47:07.025 You know so much about them, but yet so little at the same time. 47:07.065 --> 47:11.567 You know, you know about their professional life and their work life, but you don't know what they're like as a person. 47:11.627 --> 47:15.208 And they know nothing whatsoever about you, so they've got to rely on platitudes. 47:15.228 --> 47:16.329 That's all they've got to go on, you know. 47:16.349 --> 47:17.449 It's a difficult exchange. 47:17.510 --> 47:27.194 I'm thinking of one or two times when we did Final Justice, a segment we used to have in our old telly show, and we did, uh, we did it with Dweasel and Ahmet Zappa, Frank Zappa's kids. 47:27.874 --> 47:31.137 And I lied to them that I'd, uh, listened to their new record. 47:31.197 --> 47:31.958 That's right, yeah. 47:32.498 --> 47:34.020 Oh, you're very young and stupid at the time. 47:34.781 --> 47:36.262 And, uh...

You haven't heard the album. 47:53.672 --> 48:02.301 And he called my bluff, he was right, I hadn't listened to the album, I was incapable of lying, so I just looked like a terrified bunny rabbit, and went, yes, yes I have! 48:02.321 --> 48:04.483 But I so clearly hadn't! 48:05.103 --> 48:10.549 And it was just a terrible atmosphere in the room, and... Did we even bother filming the segment, or did we just leave? 48:10.829 --> 48:15.173 Er, no, we filmed it, it's very excruciating, I watched it when we were putting the extras together for the Atom Joe DVD. 48:15.193 --> 48:15.454 Did you? 48:15.474 --> 48:16.134 We didn't use it. 48:16.375 --> 48:17.396 No, it's painful to watch. 48:17.896 --> 48:26.898 And another one was, for some reason that's too complicated to go into, I was in a cafe in Vauxhall with Christian Bale around the time of Velvet Goldmine being released. 48:27.478 --> 48:31.439 I was quite excited to meet him, followed his work since Empire of the Sun. 48:32.099 --> 48:41.741 I also owned a slightly odd sort of underground comic book called Horror Hospital, which has homoerotic content, including some homoerotic drawings of Christian Bale. 48:42.221 --> 48:47.002 And I decided this was the moment to show Bale these drawings. 48:47.042 --> 48:47.442 He'd love it. 48:47.942 --> 48:49.703 Yeah, I, you know, was man to man. 48:49.743 --> 48:50.523 Who wouldn't want to see that? 48:50.543 --> 48:51.644 Who wouldn't want to see those? 48:52.544 --> 48:56.746 He looked at them like I was mad and was going to assault him in some way. 48:56.966 --> 48:57.986 Of course he did. 48:58.066 --> 48:59.327 And I did see him again, though. 49:00.067 --> 49:00.807 And we made love. 49:01.188 --> 49:01.448 Yeah. 49:02.268 --> 49:02.928 It's not true. 49:02.948 --> 49:03.669 It came true. 49:03.709 --> 49:06.970 I did see him again, but he always looked slightly frightened of me. 49:07.330 --> 49:13.576 Alex James is another person who's been the object of a lot of homoerotic fantasies in graphic novels as well. 49:14.056 --> 49:19.141 And I remember someone showing him one of these things in an interview and he responded the same way. 49:19.161 --> 49:19.922 I mean, how would you? 49:19.982 --> 49:22.404 You would feel slightly terrorized, wouldn't you? 49:22.444 --> 49:24.686 To be the object of someone's fantasies in that way. 49:24.867 --> 49:26.528 Hey, he wasn't the object of my fantasies. 49:26.828 --> 49:28.150 I happened to own the book. 49:28.250 --> 49:30.172 I was just...

01:01:56.818 --> 01:02:00.140 I just want to take a picture of myself with someone mildly famous. 01:02:01.821 --> 01:02:04.725 Fair point, fair point. 01:02:04.785 --> 01:02:08.509 I'll mind in about 30 seconds if this continues, but for the moment go ahead. 01:02:08.990 --> 01:02:11.472 Johnny Back in Preston has sent this email. 01:02:11.953 --> 01:02:21.003 I came across a weird situation at my dad's house a few years ago when John Matson, commentator extraordinaire, was in my dad's housewarming party. 01:02:21.804 --> 01:02:38.444 It turned out my current dad's lady friend, I think he means my dad's current lady friend, knew Motti, and after doing the rational, excited phone call to my friends upstairs to say I was in his Mott's presence, I inevitably met him in the empty dining room gathering finger food. 01:02:39.165 --> 01:02:40.446 I'm sure how to approach him. 01:02:40.826 --> 01:02:42.846 I said, I was my dad's son. 01:02:43.267 --> 01:02:53.911 This seemed like a good start, but then there was a silence, and I blurted out that I loved his work, to which he scurried away, and I was left a destroyed and confused teenager, been replaying it ever since. 01:02:53.971 --> 01:02:55.271 That's a good example. 01:02:55.371 --> 01:02:56.512 Motti would have been flattered. 01:02:56.572 --> 01:03:03.354 He may not have been able to respond exactly the way he wanted, but there's no way, unless he was clinically insane, that he wouldn't have appreciated that. 01:03:03.734 --> 01:03:08.276 It's just that you can't always think of exactly the right words to reciprocate. 01:03:08.536 --> 01:03:10.137 Can you love a commentator's work?

01:07:03.098 --> 01:07:06.578 It doesn't, it doesn't immediately suggest a...

01:07:43.376 --> 01:07:44.416 But there's something went wrong. 01:07:44.436 --> 01:07:45.297 There was no Song Wars. 01:07:45.757 --> 01:07:46.397 There we go. 01:07:47.318 --> 01:07:51.399 So keep those coming in as well and we'll get back to your text the nation text as well. 01:07:51.839 --> 01:07:52.960 Very soon. 01:07:53.020 --> 01:07:55.801 Now here's a track from a new hot band. 01:07:56.021 --> 01:07:57.462 Have you heard of Fleet Foxes?

01:08:24.669 --> 01:08:29.493 I'm not sure about that, but I think it might be eponymous, and this track is called Ragged Wood. 01:08:29.553 --> 01:08:30.373 Hope you enjoy this. 01:08:30.593 --> 01:08:31.354 That was very nice. 01:08:31.394 --> 01:08:36.137 That was a free play chosen by Adam Buxton, and that was Fleet Foxes with Ragged Wood. 01:08:36.577 --> 01:08:37.118 Am I correct?
