You're listening to Frank Skinner's podcast from Absolute Radio.

Good morning! This is the Frank Skinner show on Absolute Radio. I'm not Frank Skinner as it goes.

My name's Emily Dean and I'm standing in for Frank this morning. He's decided to spend a bit more time with his family

and he asks that you give him the space and privacy that he needs at this time.

That's not true at all. I think what's he doing guys? Is he filming some...

Would I lie to you Buzzcocks thing? I don't know. I think he's doing one of those tough mudder runs

while they run across obstacles and through like trenches with mud in them and I think he's doing one of those.

He'll be good at that. So he's not here but I am joining this morning by the Cockrool, who's back.

Morning. And Gareth. Hello. It's like having an ex and a current in the studio,

which is kind of a bit orcs but I rather like it. It's just people orcs, yeah.

I'm enjoying it. Hello Gareth. Hello Alan.

Arms across the ocean there. That was the most...

Hello Gareth. Hello Alan. Well it wasn't even Hello Alan. He forgot my name part

through this... Hello Alan.

I was trying to mind you. I'm in Emily's seat.

That's a good start. You're talking about the story.

You're talking about the story. It was 100%.

Do you know what this is like? This is like when I think when David Cameron and Michael Howard

are sort of forced to walk together at the centre-top or something.

I'm enjoying it. You're back from your little show in Edinburgh.

I am yes, hello. How's it been? I mean I was supposed to call it the little show Emily.

No, I was also thinking I did two other people all the time.
