This is Frank Skinner and Absolute Radio with Emily Dean and Pierre Navelli.

We're not live today so don't text us. I know I'm embarrassed to tell you but you know

I'm one has to be upfront about these things. However you can contact us on Twitter and Instagram

at Frank on the radio. We might well be putting stuff out on there to draw you in and you can

email us of course via Frank at AbsoluteRadio.co.uk and if we don't do them today we'll do them

another time maybe. I love that you were so honest about that. Took open courage. Well I'm generally

disapproving of DJ's pre-recording. Yes. Get out of bed. It's got a lovely job that a lot of people

are killed for getting in and do it. That's my view but obviously I'm not referring to anyone

at Absolute Radio. I don't want to make myself some sort of local beast. Speaking of beasts

the man who drove me in this morning. No no no no no I don't mean him. You know sometimes if you

get taught to a driver you get a bit of a backstory. In the other words I'm driving now but I used to

and then you get that and this was the guy who worked for B.A. on the cargo side of things.

Oh I'd be fascinated by that. So my first question. I was once on an American Airlines flight

internal flight, small plane about 40 minutes and for the whole flight there was a dog barking

from the hold. And I said to him people were getting genuinely concerned for this dog. It was

really going through and he said oh yes someone he must have left the door open. He said there's a

door. He said there's a door in the cockpit that goes down into the hole. He said you can't

access it from the passenger area. Oh my god it's a Batman. So I said is it a normal thing

transporting animals and he said oh yeah he said I've done lions tigers. I said okay and there's

a door you say from the hold into the cockpit. And he said now they knock him out. He said the

thing. No he said what he said. He said the lions and the tigers he said they they not come out.

They wouldn't let them travel. I still want to go on the travel long distance just give them a bit more
