On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me, rip up the charades, forget about the

telly, let's play scratch cards, coins are to stretching, everybody laughing, better not be cheating,

and the chance to win a pound or three. Add some play to Christmas with scratch cards from the National Lottery.

Please gift responsibly. Rules and procedures apply. Players and gifters must be 18 or over.

And the chance to win a pound or three. Hello, Luli here, your old friend and mine. I'm friends with myself. You've got to be.

So this is Cuddle Club. Thank you for listening. And this week we've got Pope Lonegan. He's quite a new comedian on the circuit.

Well, four years is new in comedy terms. Donkeys years, we don't know. But he is

very interesting guy. He is very open about his opiate addiction. I don't know I'm laughing.

That's a nervous laugh. I do a lot of that. I've got to cut that out, actually. Yeah,

he's just a very open, warm, interesting person who works in the care industry as well. So let's

shut up and get on with it.

Shut up, please. And let's hear from the man himself. PL Pope Lonegan.

One, two, three. Hello Pope. Hello. Hello. I count myself in. Great counting. You gnailed it.

How are you?

Yeah, not too bad.

We was, yeah, not too bad.

I'm feeling I'm good today.

I've had a bit of brain fog over the last couple of days.

But I think it's saying, I might be diabetic.

I think it's something to be doing my blood sugar.

Like I passed out.

Yeah, I think it is yeah I've got to get that checked out
