28:38.550 --> 28:42.071 I'm firmly pinning the responsibility on Adam at the top of the segment. 28:42.091 --> 28:42.652 That's okay. 28:43.092 --> 28:49.634 Yes, Text the Nation this week is inspired by a Christmas present my wife was given, which was called The Wattle. 28:50.154 --> 28:51.996 Now, I've done some research into the Wattle. 28:52.096 --> 28:52.416 Have you? 28:52.436 --> 28:52.997 Yeah. 28:53.197 --> 28:55.579 Spelled W-O-T-L-E. 28:55.879 --> 28:57.361 Shall I tell you what I think the Wattle is? 28:57.381 --> 28:57.841 Yeah. 28:58.382 --> 29:06.148 It's a way to try and encourage stylish ladies to carry a refillable water bottle in their handbag. 29:06.269 --> 29:06.429 Mm-hmm. 29:06.969 --> 29:21.281 so that it's an environmental effort to stop people from buying so many water bottles and then disposing of them, which are a huge problem in landfill and lovely mice get their head stuck in them and stuff like that. 29:22.002 --> 29:22.863 And it must be stopped. 29:23.123 --> 29:29.668 So in order to discourage this, this company are manufacturing millions more plastic water bottles. 29:30.649 --> 29:30.929 But 29:32.030 --> 29:34.773 Their hope is that these will be the last one you'll ever buy. 29:34.813 --> 29:35.974 The last one, so that's good. 29:36.494 --> 29:43.440 And to make it more suitable for ladies who, as we know, have sensitive, gentle brains that like patterns. 29:43.520 --> 29:44.620 Lady brains, that's right. 29:44.761 --> 29:48.203 It's got some leaves, a picture of leaves on it, but they're not just normal leaves. 29:48.303 --> 29:48.984 No, no. 29:49.304 --> 29:53.508 They're designer leaves designed by some lady whose skill in designing leaves. 29:54.975 --> 30:13.244 transcend all other leaf design globally and they've stuck them on and then has it got some sort of filter system in it no okay well you take it from there that's what am i right pretty much yeah i think i think maybe the company that is in charge i might be wrong about this is britta 30:13.724 --> 30:17.066 who actually do make water filters in other parts of their business. 30:17.146 --> 30:17.406 Right. 30:17.686 --> 30:27.772 So when my wife saw that it was a Brita wattle, she was excited by the idea that maybe what she was receiving was a bottle that actually filtered the water that you put into it. 30:28.132 --> 30:29.513 Right, and that there is such a bottle. 30:29.593 --> 30:34.956 Somebody's invented an amazing bottle that you can use in the third world, that you can put like stagnant, horrible water in. 30:35.376 --> 30:37.657 and it will filter pure drinking water out of it. 30:37.857 --> 30:45.799 Brita, I imagine, probably do one somewhere in their range, not that I know, and I'm sure there are other filters available, but this was not one of them. 30:46.239 --> 30:47.379 This was just a bottle. 30:47.399 --> 30:50.860 So when you looked at it, you thought, oh good, this is something really practical. 30:51.420 --> 30:53.601 It's a sort of portable Brita filtration system. 30:53.621 --> 30:53.661 No. 30:54.981 --> 30:55.201 New. 30:55.401 --> 30:56.002 Just a bottle. 30:56.042 --> 30:57.383 It's a bottle with lathe thumb. 30:57.483 --> 30:59.244 But not just a bottle, because it's a wattle. 30:59.264 --> 31:01.065 Because it's called the wattle. 31:01.806 --> 31:10.572 So anyway, it was very exciting, and it made me think that maybe there are many other everyday objects that could be similarly rebranded to make them exciting. 31:10.992 --> 31:20.718 I was thinking, for example, of, and this is, you know, this is all useful for 2009, for the hard times that we're all going through, which incidentally should be over by around May the 10th. 31:21.038 --> 31:21.579 The 90s? 31:21.739 --> 31:22.580 Can we call this here the 90s? 31:22.700 --> 31:22.800 The 90s. 31:25.601 --> 31:26.621 Is that confusing? 31:27.882 --> 31:29.202 No, we're in the 90s. 31:29.282 --> 31:32.363 It would be a little confusing, but let's call it the 90s anyway. 31:33.043 --> 31:33.543 How about this? 31:34.083 --> 31:35.903 The step chair, right? 31:36.203 --> 31:54.647 This is a device that not only allows the user to relieve pressure from their feet and legs to create a relaxing alternative to standing, but it also doubles as a compact device that facilitates the reaching of objects on high shelves without cluttering up your room with step ladders, for example. 31:55.027 --> 32:01.009 So with the step chair, you can not only sit, but stand to reach high things. 32:01.149 --> 32:01.409 On it. 32:01.509 --> 32:01.969 Stand on it. 32:02.049 --> 32:02.309 On it. 32:02.529 --> 32:03.389 On the step chair. 32:03.649 --> 32:04.610 Isn't there such a thing? 32:05.130 --> 32:05.570 How do you mean? 32:05.590 --> 32:10.791 Do you remember in libraries you used to get those chairs that fold over and become a little slice of stairs? 32:10.831 --> 32:11.492 Too complicated. 32:11.712 --> 32:12.052 Really? 32:12.112 --> 32:12.272 Yeah. 32:12.412 --> 32:14.172 This is exactly like a chair. 32:14.192 --> 32:15.153 Right. 32:15.413 --> 32:17.033 But called the step chair. 32:17.693 --> 32:18.013 Right. 32:18.213 --> 32:18.633 Do you see? 32:18.654 --> 32:19.474 I like it. 32:19.674 --> 32:20.434 How about this then? 32:21.734 --> 32:22.575 Store and sprinkle. 32:25.096 --> 32:32.563 This is a convenient compact receptacle which is ideal for keeping salt not only clean but dry. 32:32.583 --> 32:42.191 Now after that when it's time to add seasoning to a meal that you would like to add salt to, what you do is you turn the store and sprinkle upside down 32:43.312 --> 32:49.361 And through the little holes, the perforations in the top of store and sprinkle, the salt comes out onto your food. 32:49.461 --> 32:49.781 Wow. 32:49.942 --> 32:57.352 So it's not only a container for the salt, but a device for delivering the salt to your meal. 32:57.674 --> 33:00.517 So, but it's basically like a salt shaker. 33:00.557 --> 33:02.119 It's exactly like a salt shaker. 33:02.139 --> 33:03.761 But you've just called it a what? 33:04.461 --> 33:05.462 A store and sprinkle. 33:05.502 --> 33:06.724 So is this what you're asking people? 33:06.784 --> 33:07.645 For new names? 33:08.185 --> 33:08.906 For new names? 33:09.246 --> 33:12.009 Well, I want them to think of a whole rebranding strategy. 33:12.049 --> 33:13.951 There's more to the wattle than that, isn't there? 33:13.971 --> 33:16.754 Yeah, because it's got all this ethical clothing. 33:16.794 --> 33:17.195 Exactly. 33:17.395 --> 33:21.977 So there's a whole lot of a cluster of ideas around very little substance. 33:22.697 --> 33:24.478 A bottle with some leaves. 33:24.598 --> 33:27.499 Another way of looking at it is it's brilliant in its simplicity. 33:27.539 --> 33:29.179 Yeah, I had a couple of ideas. 33:30.000 --> 33:36.242 Well, why just use a pencil when you can buy at great expense a pencil? 33:37.803 --> 33:43.265 A pencil is very different from a pencil because it's got a design on it. 33:44.245 --> 33:45.746 And it's slightly bendy. 33:46.487 --> 33:47.347 A pencil. 33:47.848 --> 33:49.569 And I'm gonna get the top designers. 33:50.269 --> 33:51.971 Stella McCartney, is she a designer? 33:52.311 --> 33:52.651 In a way. 33:52.771 --> 33:53.192 In a way. 33:53.532 --> 33:54.613 Who are other designers? 33:55.593 --> 33:56.594 Geordie LaForge. 33:58.315 --> 33:59.296 From Star Trek. 33:59.356 --> 34:00.537 He's a designer, isn't he? 34:00.577 --> 34:01.237 He's an engineer. 34:01.497 --> 34:04.119 Well, they're gonna design pencils. 34:04.259 --> 34:04.540 Yeah. 34:04.740 --> 34:06.561 And pencils are gonna be all the rage. 34:07.141 --> 34:09.863 People will look down on you if you use a conventional pencil. 34:09.923 --> 34:10.204 Yeah. 34:10.784 --> 34:13.466 It's like the difference between an iPhone and a regular phone. 34:13.746 --> 34:14.046 Yes. 34:14.066 --> 34:14.187 Yes. 34:14.207 --> 34:15.308 I've lost my ponsel! 34:16.889 --> 34:17.810 Is that what you were after?

49:21.755 --> 49:22.155 The Whittle. 49:24.175 --> 49:32.397 All kinds of products could be specially rebranded for women by putting, replacing the first letter with a W. Yeah, like a hanky. 49:32.685 --> 49:33.026 Yeah. 49:33.586 --> 49:40.115 When we say women, we're talking about sort of the marketeer's idea of what a woman is rather than actual women. 49:40.235 --> 49:41.076 The fictional lady. 49:41.096 --> 49:43.620 The fictional, yeah, idea of a lady. 49:43.760 --> 49:47.004 The sort of lady who reads grots or other mags like that. 49:47.785 --> 49:50.967 Have we got any good suggestions from listeners for rebranded objects?

50:13.799 --> 50:15.239 Well, I think that's what he's getting at. 50:16.800 --> 50:19.723 Uh, it's good though, I like, I like the changing of the name. 50:19.803 --> 50:25.907 I don't think it's got enough, I mean, I don't mean to be disrespectful, Bennett, but I don't think it's, I think it's actually too good an idea. 50:26.808 --> 50:31.572 It doesn't have enough- Well it all hinges on whether he's actually extending the length of the brush, though. 50:32.853 --> 50:33.153 Yeah. 50:33.814 --> 50:34.634 A change to the plot. 50:34.654 --> 50:35.174 Well, maybe not. 50:35.214 --> 50:36.415 Maybe he's just changing the word. 50:36.435 --> 50:41.237 I think he's changing the word and he's cleverly changing the way we think about the brush. 50:41.497 --> 50:44.019 Why buy a toothbrush when you can get a toothbrush? 50:44.039 --> 50:44.599 Exactly. 50:44.959 --> 50:47.620 Don't just, because everyone else out there, all the idiots. 50:47.640 --> 50:47.880 That's true. 50:47.900 --> 50:48.461 That's brilliant. 50:48.481 --> 50:49.881 They're just brushing one tooth at a time. 50:49.901 --> 50:52.403 So you needn't actually change the brush, you just change the packet. 50:52.483 --> 50:52.983 Exactly. 50:53.263 --> 50:53.603 Super. 50:53.623 --> 50:54.304 That's what it's all about. 50:54.344 --> 50:54.584 Right. 50:54.744 --> 50:55.204 So that's good. 50:55.224 --> 50:56.144 That's getting manufactured. 50:56.185 --> 50:56.665 Very good. 50:56.745 --> 50:57.405 Well done, Bennett. 50:57.585 --> 50:58.886 Here's one from Lee Madgwick. 50:59.406 --> 51:04.847 Fed up with your house having no entrance and exits to and from all your rooms, consider wall flaps. 51:05.408 --> 51:11.309 A wall, but not just any wall, push or pull your wall flap for easy access to your desired room. 51:11.949 --> 51:12.589 Wall flaps. 51:13.430 --> 51:14.630 Lee from Kingsley. 51:15.910 --> 51:17.991 Wall flaps makes them sound a little trivial though. 51:18.011 --> 51:19.771 I mean, we are talking about doors here, right?

Our producer Ben, in his defence, says that the only capital he can put in the phrase is at the beginning of the sentence. 01:08:35.834 --> 01:08:40.355 The technology is such that it does not permit uppercase letters thereafter. 01:08:40.896 --> 01:08:41.796 So sorry about that. 01:08:42.396 --> 01:08:47.339 And, Ben, do you have that clip, the Lapland clip, that I want to play, Joe? 01:08:47.919 --> 01:08:51.140 This was a news report that I heard on the 23rd of December. 01:08:52.041 --> 01:08:53.862 Things were a lot quieter in those days. 01:08:53.922 --> 01:08:57.324 You know, now, unfortunately, the news is filled with all kinds of hideous stuff. 01:08:57.404 --> 01:08:59.545 But then, on the 23rd of December, 01:09:00.385 --> 01:09:07.389 The big story was that dozens of children and families had had their trip to Lapland cancelled because of bad weather. 01:09:07.429 --> 01:09:10.691 These were children and families from the UK. 01:09:11.152 --> 01:09:23.179 The pilot flying the plane to Lapland where they were going to meet Santa said that the conditions in northern Scandinavia did not meet safe operational standards, so they had to call the flight off. 01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:25.321 But the parents were up in arms. 01:09:26.061 --> 01:09:27.402 I mean, they were furious about it. 01:09:27.422 --> 01:09:29.604 Do you want to hear some of the mothers? 01:09:29.984 --> 01:09:30.285 Yes. 01:09:30.425 --> 01:09:30.805 Here we go. 01:09:31.065 --> 01:09:33.287 These mothers said their children were bitterly disappointed. 01:09:33.427 --> 01:09:34.088 Cutted, really. 01:09:34.208 --> 01:09:34.929 Absolutely cutted. 01:09:35.489 --> 01:09:38.051 The children were so looking forward to it, we don't know what to do. 01:09:38.392 --> 01:09:41.194 The experience is one that I wouldn't want to put anybody through. 01:09:41.214 --> 01:09:48.701 Your child's crying, grandparent's were crying, parents were crying, and then we had to explain the fact that we weren't got a lab land. 01:09:49.964 --> 01:09:50.865 Oh my god. 01:09:51.025 --> 01:09:51.986 They were all crying. 01:09:52.287 --> 01:09:53.248 It was just carnage. 01:09:53.268 --> 01:09:55.150 It was the worst thing that they'd ever... What are they crying at? 01:09:55.170 --> 01:09:56.251 Because the flight's been cancelled. 01:09:56.271 --> 01:09:56.992 Flight's been cancelled. 01:09:57.472 --> 01:10:01.396 And their dreams of meeting Santa and Lapland have been smashed into a million tiny pieces. 01:10:01.897 --> 01:10:06.842 Just because the pilot felt that it was a little unsafe because of the weather. 01:10:07.142 --> 01:10:10.206 Hmm, do you think he should have thrown caution to the wind and tried to get there? 01:10:10.246 --> 01:10:10.926 Definitely! 01:10:11.267 --> 01:10:19.656 It's alright that we were all killed because going to see Santa is such a goal for my kids that I'm happy they crashed. 01:10:19.996 --> 01:10:27.144 You know, why couldn't the- the- Santa would almost certainly have gone up there in his sleigh and- and sorted out the plane. 01:10:27.385 --> 01:10:28.466 Except that's what would have happened. 01:10:29.086 --> 01:10:30.567 I think they would have been plummeting through the air. 01:10:30.807 --> 01:10:33.029 So instead they cancel the flight. 01:10:33.709 --> 01:10:37.171 Parents, you know, the children are crying, of course they're crying. 01:10:37.311 --> 01:10:40.153 So the parents then see the children crying, they start crying. 01:10:40.633 --> 01:10:43.956 Then the grandparents are confused and tired, they all start crying. 01:10:44.436 --> 01:10:45.637 What if one of them was sick? 01:10:46.477 --> 01:10:46.697 Yeah. 01:10:46.918 --> 01:10:49.140 The other ones would inevitably be sick as well. 01:10:49.160 --> 01:10:51.181 Suddenly they would start vomiting. 01:10:51.241 --> 01:10:52.102 Yeah, they would vomit. 01:10:52.122 --> 01:10:52.723 And crying. 01:10:52.903 --> 01:10:53.203 Yeah. 01:10:53.564 --> 01:10:54.805 As soon as, well, one of them would be crying. 01:10:54.825 --> 01:10:55.906 One of them would slip over in it. 01:10:56.186 --> 01:10:58.548 One of the parents would be crying so hard they would vomit, certainly. 01:10:58.568 --> 01:10:58.648 Yeah. 01:10:59.009 --> 01:11:01.711 And then, as soon as they vomited. 01:11:01.751 --> 01:11:02.952 That happens a lot. 01:11:02.972 --> 01:11:04.073 The children would vomit. 01:11:04.374 --> 01:11:06.836 As you say, then the grandparents start sliding around. 01:11:09.558 --> 01:11:18.166 One of them breaks a hip, and then they're crying so... Then they're ripping at each other's clothes to try and steady themselves, and their clothes are coming off. 01:11:18.426 --> 01:11:20.749 One of them crashes through a plate glass window. 01:11:20.769 --> 01:11:22.730 So there's blood. 01:11:22.971 --> 01:11:24.112 So there's blood everywhere. 01:11:24.732 --> 01:11:27.615 So, you know, you've got all kinds of serious injuries. 01:11:27.735 --> 01:11:29.016 It's the domino effect. 01:11:29.997 --> 01:11:38.201 I mean, I'm not trying to make light of the misfortunes of families who were genuinely looking forward to a wonderful trip that they'd paid for that was cancelled, even though they were refunded. 01:11:38.241 --> 01:11:39.642 Presumably they got refunded, yeah. 01:11:39.742 --> 01:11:40.563 They were refunded. 01:11:41.183 --> 01:11:46.446 But still, I mean, they are right to be distraught, because that sounds hideous though, doesn't it? 01:11:46.506 --> 01:11:47.286 All that crime. 01:11:48.307 --> 01:11:51.469 It's a massive tragedy, so sorry about that, but I thought you should know. 01:11:51.749 --> 01:11:52.149 Thank you. 01:11:52.809 --> 01:11:53.830 23rd of December that happened. 01:11:54.991 --> 01:11:57.072 Now, listen, we're failing to catch up with Text the Nation, aren't we? 01:11:57.112 --> 01:12:00.896 But we'll do that after this next track, which is a free play that I've chosen for you listeners. 01:12:01.236 --> 01:12:06.360 I don't know if you heard, but we put a compilation of some moments from this show together for Radio 2. 01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:09.743 It went out on New Year's Day between 12 and 2. 01:12:10.383 --> 01:12:12.445 You can probably hear the whole thing on Listen Again. 01:12:12.585 --> 01:12:13.586 It's the best of, isn't it? 01:12:13.786 --> 01:12:14.066 Yeah. 01:12:14.106 --> 01:12:15.347 It'll be on the iPlayer, I think. 01:12:15.608 --> 01:12:16.088 Right, right. 01:12:16.268 --> 01:12:18.370 So it's the highlights from how many shows? 01:12:18.570 --> 01:12:20.532 Well, from about 14 months' worth. 01:12:20.692 --> 01:12:20.953 Wow. 01:12:21.033 --> 01:12:22.034 It's some highlights. 01:12:22.074 --> 01:12:25.717 You know, I went through as many shows as I could and tried to fill it some bits. 01:12:26.157 --> 01:12:31.762 A lot of stuff you couldn't include there for various reasons because it was just too complicated to stick in. 01:12:31.823 --> 01:12:32.003 Right. 01:12:32.563 --> 01:12:40.849 But I put a few bits in there for novices, and there will be a few things in there that you wouldn't have heard even if you're a regular listener, so give it a listen. 01:12:41.409 --> 01:12:47.673 I also chose a great deal of the music, well, all of the music that went in there, and I was trying to envisage my mum listening to the show, you know? 01:12:48.274 --> 01:12:52.937 And so I put music that I thought she would enjoy there, because we were filling in for Jeremy Vine. 01:12:52.957 --> 01:13:01.723 I don't know if you listen to Jeremy Vine's show, but he plays very different kind of music that we play here at Six Music, so I was trying to compromise in some way. 01:13:02.083 --> 01:13:04.565 Anyway, this is one of the tracks that I wanted to put in, but it was too long. 01:13:05.746 --> 01:13:11.810 But it's one of my faves that would certainly not sound out of place on Radio 2, but it's a smash by Duran Duran, his savour prayer. 01:13:15.553 --> 01:13:16.754 So Franky Turner, innit? 01:13:16.934 --> 01:13:20.176 Reasons to be... not... no, reasons not to be an idiot. 01:13:20.637 --> 01:13:20.957 Yeah. 01:13:21.197 --> 01:13:21.757 By Turner. 01:13:21.978 --> 01:13:25.580 Thanks to everyone who's confirmed that the message is coming through. 01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:26.481 Is it still up there now?

I'm with you now, I understand. 01:17:07.048 --> 01:17:07.508 Right, right. 01:17:07.848 --> 01:17:08.289 A wow. 01:17:08.869 --> 01:17:24.115 that's a good idea is that getting manufactured yeah yes the wow very good here's one from andrew book uh his idea is puzzle nuts a food and logic puzzle in one to keep the family enthralled and entertained over christmas puzzle nuts 01:17:24.435 --> 01:17:32.504 Unlike ordinary nuts, come in a hard shell that requires a devilish degree of lateral thinking to open, and access the delicious meat within. 01:17:32.524 --> 01:17:35.307 Do you describe the substance of a nut as meat? 01:17:35.548 --> 01:17:35.928 Nutmeat? 01:17:36.389 --> 01:17:36.869 Nutmeat? 01:17:37.290 --> 01:17:38.051 Yeah, you could do. 01:17:38.471 --> 01:17:38.912 I like it. 01:17:39.472 --> 01:17:40.333 Is that a good idea? 01:17:40.453 --> 01:17:45.076 So, they're like monkey nuts, which are quite frustrating anyway and give you something to occupy your hands with. 01:17:45.216 --> 01:17:45.576 Certainly. 01:17:45.596 --> 01:17:55.523 Well, there's always a cashew there in the bag that is completely sealed and doesn't give you any purchase whatsoever that you have to really... And you try and tap it along the seam and it won't split. 01:17:55.584 --> 01:18:02.488 And maybe you nibble on it and... But he's talking about making those shells plastic, I assume, and making them actual puzzles. 01:18:02.568 --> 01:18:03.409 No, he isn't. 01:18:03.709 --> 01:18:04.050 Isn't he? 01:18:04.090 --> 01:18:08.333 No, he's talking about collecting the hardest to crack nuts and marketing them as puzzles. 01:18:09.073 --> 01:18:09.654 I would think. 01:18:09.674 --> 01:18:11.055 Because that's what it's all about. 01:18:11.075 --> 01:18:12.155 He's not being specific. 01:18:12.195 --> 01:18:14.017 You're going to have to clarify there, Andrew Book. 01:18:14.457 --> 01:18:16.418 Is he related to John Book from Witness? 01:18:16.478 --> 01:18:17.699 It's just what I was thinking. 01:18:17.879 --> 01:18:18.400 The Book Man. 01:18:19.180 --> 01:18:19.921 Is that a good idea? 01:18:20.281 --> 01:18:20.541 Yes. 01:18:21.102 --> 01:18:21.642 Yes, it is. 01:18:21.822 --> 01:18:22.723 Yeah. 01:18:22.923 --> 01:18:23.804 It's expensive. 01:18:23.844 --> 01:18:25.605 It's not very ecologically sound and dangerous as well. 01:18:25.625 --> 01:18:26.125 How is it expensive? 01:18:26.145 --> 01:18:31.029 Because while I'm still imagining it as little Rubik style puzzle. 01:18:31.049 --> 01:18:31.789 You're insane. 01:18:31.949 --> 01:18:34.291 He's talking about regular nuts from trees. 01:18:34.851 --> 01:18:35.612 From nut trees. 01:18:36.172 --> 01:18:36.773 Are you, Andrew?

01:19:20.886 --> 01:19:21.747 Is that going ahead then? 01:19:21.767 --> 01:19:22.047 Yeah. 01:19:22.307 --> 01:19:22.547 Why not? 01:19:23.447 --> 01:19:28.230 Joe in London, it's not me, it's another Joe in London, has been angered by some of these entries. 01:19:28.290 --> 01:19:34.073 He says, today's text donation entries, with the exception of wall flaps, clearly violate the terms you set forth. 01:19:34.373 --> 01:19:39.316 It's supposed to be about laughably tenuous rebranding, not the invention of lame gimmicks. 01:19:39.696 --> 01:19:44.879 These jokers should be verbally kicked in their man flaps forthwith, or I shall take it to Ofcom. 01:19:44.959 --> 01:19:45.920 Which lame gimmicks? 01:19:46.100 --> 01:19:47.341 You see, this is what I'm talking about then. 01:19:47.421 --> 01:19:51.023 With the exception of the nuts, which is all in your mind, you're inventing a Rubik Nut. 01:19:51.855 --> 01:19:54.457 You see, well, there's various issues there bundled together. 01:19:54.617 --> 01:19:58.941 I think earlier texts that we read out were maybe just brand new inventions. 01:19:59.221 --> 01:20:02.684 I was guilty of them, my pocket liners and all that sort of business. 01:20:03.345 --> 01:20:05.867 But I do think I've got the nuts right, surely. 01:20:05.887 --> 01:20:09.430 Are we still waiting for the text to come in there, a yes or a no? 01:20:09.750 --> 01:20:10.891 My texts have logged out. 01:20:10.991 --> 01:20:20.757 Well, let's conclude text the nation for the time being anyway, and we'll inform you as to whether the nut controversy is resolved before the end of the show and Liz Kershaw's arrival. 01:20:21.117 --> 01:20:23.939 But for now, here is some more music from Franz Ferdinand. 01:20:23.979 --> 01:20:26.921 Now, is this new Ferdinand or vintage Ferdinand? 01:20:27.481 --> 01:20:28.442 New Ferdinand. 01:20:29.042 --> 01:20:29.362 Wow. 01:20:29.422 --> 01:20:30.543 Have you heard this one before, Joe? 01:20:30.563 --> 01:20:39.351 This is Ulysses, released on January the 19th from their album, their third album, which is called Tonight, Franz Ferdinand. 01:20:39.431 --> 01:20:40.071 Here's Ulysses. 01:20:44.078 --> 01:20:44.798 That's exciting. 01:20:44.818 --> 01:20:46.841 Ooh, is that some stylophone action? 01:20:47.442 --> 01:20:47.782 I don't know. 01:20:47.842 --> 01:20:49.104 No, I don't think that was stylophone. 01:20:49.304 --> 01:20:50.125 Sounds a bit like it. 01:20:50.165 --> 01:20:51.067 That's Franz Ferdinand. 01:20:51.107 --> 01:20:51.587 What was that called? 01:20:51.667 --> 01:20:51.888 Ulysses. 01:20:51.988 --> 01:20:52.789 Ulysses. 01:20:53.069 --> 01:20:53.650 Very exciting. 01:20:53.690 --> 01:20:56.273 That's the new one from Franz Ferdinand. 01:20:56.954 --> 01:20:59.397 And this is Adam and Joe here on BBC Six Music. 01:21:00.038 --> 01:21:06.507 So before the end of the show, which is now 15, less than 15 minutes away, listeners, we've got to resolve this song wars issues. 01:21:06.607 --> 01:21:08.390 We are going to do one for next week. 01:21:08.450 --> 01:21:16.401 We floated various ideas, including a song about the film Australia, the Baz Luhrmann film. 01:21:16.921 --> 01:21:34.477 it's beautiful um what else have we uh we the other idea that came up was to it was a bit vague this idea but it was to do a kind of weird outside a bit of pop uh siguros or bon either style kind of a sort of separatist pop i don't know what you'd call it like the most 01:21:34.637 --> 01:21:51.338 idiosyncratic pop song yeah to be as weird as possible it would be a good six music song to play but it's a bit wishy-washy isn't it you have to be in a funny accent and stuff I don't know it would just end up like a Bjork pastiche probably might be fun though we've had some other ideas and this is from Paul in Southampton 01:21:52.058 --> 01:21:55.699 Dear Adam and Joas, you've both been mega chums for quite some time. 01:21:56.399 --> 01:21:59.360 Yes, we have been, and that's how we describe it as well, mega chums. 01:21:59.820 --> 01:22:05.842 I'm guessing that you two may have a skeleton or two in the closet, or at the very least a thumb bone, that the other is unaware of. 01:22:06.222 --> 01:22:09.103 Maybe Jo set fire to Adam Scrappydoo puppet when he was a little Buxton. 01:22:09.443 --> 01:22:12.044 A burning secret that your conscience has been niggling at you for weeks. 01:22:12.544 --> 01:22:13.925 months, maybe years, to reveal. 01:22:13.965 --> 01:22:15.646 Why not put this revelation into a song? 01:22:16.027 --> 01:22:17.728 Hmm. 01:22:17.748 --> 01:22:18.909 Some sort of personal thing? 01:22:19.509 --> 01:22:22.231 It's difficult because it doesn't give you much of a musical direction, though. 01:22:22.531 --> 01:22:22.971 Here's another one. 01:22:22.991 --> 01:22:23.712 David Cochrane. 01:22:23.832 --> 01:22:24.392 Hi Adam and Jo. 01:22:24.432 --> 01:22:30.276 My idea for Song Wars is to take a speech from a film and sing it over a style of music completely inappropriate for that film. 01:22:30.316 --> 01:22:35.440 For example, Bill Pullman's speech from near the end of Independence Day set to an Afro-Cuban backing. 01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:38.661 There may be some copyright issues, but why let that stop you? 01:22:38.941 --> 01:22:39.842 That's a nice idea. 01:22:40.002 --> 01:22:40.642 Nice idea. 01:22:42.363 --> 01:22:44.784 Here's a couple of ideas from Adam Butcher. 01:22:45.264 --> 01:22:51.706 He says, why not take the exact text of a well-known highbrow poem, make it cool-sounding for modern youth? 01:22:53.687 --> 01:22:54.427 Right, right, right. 01:22:56.588 --> 01:22:57.809 What poem would you do? 01:22:57.889 --> 01:23:00.630 But here's the most interesting one, and this is kind of slightly off-topic. 01:23:00.670 --> 01:23:01.370 Hello, Adam and Jo. 01:23:01.410 --> 01:23:03.351 I hope you're enjoying your happy crinkles break. 01:23:03.951 --> 01:23:07.713 Please can I ask that you put the National Treasure Songs back on the BBC website. 01:23:08.133 --> 01:23:13.736 My friend had lunch with Joanna Lumley on Saturday, so I asked her to ask Joanna what she thought of Jo's song. 01:23:14.077 --> 01:23:19.300 But Joanna hadn't heard of it, and I think may have been vaguely insulted by my friend's description of it. 01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:24.783 I suggested that they listen to it so she could see for herself how lovely it was, but it had gone. 01:23:25.203 --> 01:23:28.905 And I'm sure that insulting Joanna, however vaguely, was no one's intention. 01:23:29.205 --> 01:23:31.506 Please put it back on so she can listen to it. 01:23:31.886 --> 01:23:32.207 Tar. 01:23:33.188 --> 01:23:34.529 We can put it on the website, can't we? 01:23:34.789 --> 01:23:39.553 Well, we need to get in touch with Joanna's people and make sure she gets a lovely CD. 01:23:39.593 --> 01:23:42.295 We'll do it through a Jen who sent us that email. 01:23:42.355 --> 01:23:44.976 Jen, we'll try and email you and get that sorted. 01:23:45.317 --> 01:23:51.681 And I wasn't in no way am I mocking Joanna's documentary that was shown almost in constant rotation over Christmas. 01:23:51.761 --> 01:23:54.143 It was disturbingly irony-free, as I recall. 01:23:54.183 --> 01:23:54.423 Yeah. 01:23:57.666 --> 01:23:59.949 There we go, another Song Wars suggestion. 01:24:00.750 --> 01:24:03.634 This isn't a suggestion, this is a provocative email from Derek Winton. 01:24:03.914 --> 01:24:13.728 Hey Adam and Jo, I feel slightly bad writing this as I really do like your show and far be it from me to criticise, but do you think the Song Wars might be a bit improved by keeping the songs shorter? 01:24:14.397 --> 01:24:15.237 That's not a bad point. 01:24:15.258 --> 01:24:16.678 Otherwise, keep up the excellent work. 01:24:16.738 --> 01:24:17.439 Cheers, Derek. 01:24:17.679 --> 01:24:21.961 That's a good point, Derek, because originally we did start at like 30 seconds, didn't we? 01:24:22.542 --> 01:24:25.523 We just thought no one would want to hear anything more than that, and that may still be the case. 01:24:25.543 --> 01:24:27.204 Now we've become a bit self-absorbed. 01:24:27.244 --> 01:24:28.565 Yeah, now we're churning. 01:24:28.585 --> 01:24:29.946 I mean, I'm the worst for that. 01:24:29.966 --> 01:24:31.087 You are the worst. 01:24:31.147 --> 01:24:34.389 Sometimes I go up to like two and a half minutes or something, or even three. 01:24:34.589 --> 01:24:36.650 It's not helping to decide what to do though, is it? 01:24:36.830 --> 01:24:39.211 Well, what about a one minute song about Australia? 01:24:39.431 --> 01:24:39.712 Alright. 01:24:40.572 --> 01:24:40.932 Let's do it. 01:24:40.972 --> 01:24:41.993 I'll go and see Australia. 01:24:42.454 --> 01:24:42.734 You know?

01:25:51.806 --> 01:25:55.207 Was he talking about just normal nuts or was he talking about modifying the nuts? 01:25:55.327 --> 01:25:56.207 Joe is correct. 01:25:56.787 --> 01:26:01.829 I meant a nut surrounded by a brightly coloured Rubik's cube type shell. 01:26:02.629 --> 01:26:04.309 He doesn't, that's what he doesn't say. 01:26:04.829 --> 01:26:07.850 What he does say is I just meant ordinary in-shell nuts. 01:26:08.210 --> 01:26:13.731 I thought since most kids these days probably haven't seen one outside of a cake, for them it would effectively be a Rubik's nut. 01:26:14.292 --> 01:26:15.632 Also, my name is Andrew Cook. 01:26:16.972 --> 01:26:17.632 Thanks, champs. 01:26:17.932 --> 01:26:19.053 I don't know something that wasn't. 01:26:19.093 --> 01:26:21.113 I think it was a predictive text failure. 01:26:21.413 --> 01:26:21.633 Right. 01:26:22.033 --> 01:26:25.094 Thank you very much indeed for listening to our show, ladies and gentlemen. 01:26:25.174 --> 01:26:26.094 We really appreciate it. 01:26:26.134 --> 01:26:27.895 We'll be back with you at the same time next week. 01:26:27.935 --> 01:26:29.395 Stay tuned for Liz Kershaw. 01:26:29.435 --> 01:26:30.295 She's coming up next. 01:26:30.615 --> 01:26:33.416 Don't forget there's a podcast of this program that you can download. 01:26:33.456 --> 01:26:35.737 It should be available from Monday evening onwards. 01:26:36.677 --> 01:26:37.237 And what else?
