Leading Britain's Conversation.

You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Morning everybody. Welcome long to your free podcast for today, Tuesday, the 28th of September.

Am I the only one who thinks that this year has whizzed through? I mean, we've had everything,

haven't we? We've had fire, flood, pestilence, petrol shortages, pandemics, people dying of COVID. There was even somebody

on RuPaul Drag Race the other day whose mother had recently died of COVID, but he decided to

still go on and dress up in drag. Worst program I've ever seen on the television. The language was

unbelievable. It's the first one I've ever watched any sort of length of it. And to be honest with you, I mean, some of them are just people who've got a few screws loose. You know, they really are. The language, I mean, I've never heard so many F words and stuff like that. They kicked off somebody who was totally useless. I mean, it's, I don't know why, but I think the people are watching it heterosexual women. I don't think blokes are watching it. Absolutely not. Anyway, Carol Vorderman kicks off for today, wearing her royal blue gym wear, immersing herself in a sweaty session. I've had a few of those. I mean, not for many a year, as you can well imagine. And she's got a taut stomach. God, i live in hope of a tort stomach i mean seriously again

not for many a year i'm afraid it just doesn't happen anymore does it marriage for us can't be a prison

will smith reveals he and his wife jada pinkett smith do not practice monogamy oh and once discussed

wanting a harrimm of girlfriends including hallyberry and Misty Copeland. Oh, so they don't, so he basically puts it about. That's a bit of a bit of... And she can as well. That's not a marriage. That's not a marriage. That's an arrangement. I mean, that's just ridiculous. Well, it's a... Even an open marriage sounds a bit pervy, doesn't it? I mean, I'm sorry, we're having an open marriage.

What's that mean?

Well, it means we basically just carry on doing what we did before, you know, until one person goes, sorry, I really don't, don't fancy you. And the other one go, ooh, and you're stuck. Ryland Clark Neal and his element. Well, he is now he's added. Oh, look, there's a wrinkle on his forehead.

Do you know, I can't work out if he's just slapping on the old makeup or whether he's just Botox up to the nine. It looks ridiculous. But he interviews Robert Webb and A.J. A. A.J. A. Doodoo on it takes two before being whisked home in a cab after returning to work amid divorce from Dan. Oh, it's such a trobber out there in showbiz world. It really is.

He appeared to be in high spirits. Yeah, but he was always a bit plastic, wasn't he? He was always never sort of there. And his husband, Dan Neal, has lost a battle. Lost a battle. Like, what battle? You went out together. You tried to make it work as a two-sum, it didn't work, you were both crap, and now the relationship's finished. Who cares? It's got nothing to do with people, as Ricky Javees said the other day. Who cares what these people drone on about? You know, people say, how are you cope? He goes, I'm fine, I'm fine. Of course, Ryland makes a big drama out of it.

A bit like Jordan. Oh, wait a minute, she's his best friend. He was, he was her gay best friend, apparently, as I say, desperate to find somebody to like him. And I think they were all sort of going on about, you know, this and that. Whenever you see Jordan interviewed on the television, She always goes, of course, the media got wrong again,
