X-Fem. Ellis James and John Robbins on X-FM podcast.

Hello, folks. Thanks very much for downloading the Ellis-James and John Robbins podcast of our weekly X-FM show.

As per normal, new normal, recent events, we've given you the opportunity to contact us through an email address.

If any of the issues in the podcast have affected you, we haven't been able to join in with a live show to that end.

Last week we were talking about lies. You've convinced your partner, your children, your relatives that were true.

And we've got some belters emailed in to Sunday at xfm.co.uk.

First off, we have an email from Sarah in Birmingham and she says,

I want to just let you know about two of my favourite lies I managed to convince my partner which was true.

It's been a 12 year career and it's now got so bad. She assumes everything I say is a lie until she fact-checked herself on the internet.

These are absolute belters, these lies. First off, Jesus' middle name is Harold. Hence the phrase Jesus H. Christ. And the line in the Lord's player, Harold be thy name.

Love it. I love the fact there's a little bit of evidence there.

It's the evidence-based ones that make me laugh the most.

And number two, Vidal Sassoon was Siegfried's brother,

who, whilst his older brother was busy composing poetry,

cut the soldier's hair in the trenches.

Yes.

I love Sassoon is a very funny word, and for a long time it was a sort of a byword in our

flat in Bristol.

We would call things a Sassoon.

So if you want to go to the pub, you'd fancy some sweet Sassoons.

That changed to Wassoon and then Bassoon, all because of Siegfried Sassoon.

It's a great poet's name, though.
