Leading Britain's Conversation.

This is a podcast from LBC, James O'Brien.

You are indeed listening to Mystery Hour with me, James O'Brien, on LBC.

So let me give you a quick heads-up on how it works.

I currently have a selection of slots available on my switchboard, all of which could be yours.

If you have a question that is considered to be of sufficient interest and excitement.

034-6-60-973 is the number that you need. The question can cover pretty much any subject at all. The only suggestion or the only requirement is that it's not boring and that's our job to police but you

probably have some idea in your head if you're thinking of a question and hand on heart you can't

imagine anybody else being remotely interested in the answer for example don't ring me out to

ask where your keys are oh 345 6060973 is the number that you need um who why what, what, where, when, whither, whence, and even the occasional where-for.

Why do we do that? Where does that come from?

And if you hear somebody else ask a question to which you know the answer, well...

You have to ring in and answer it.

If you don't, your radio will get confiscated.

You've got three chances.

If you hear three questions that you know the answer to,

and you don't ring in on any of them,

it's like the cock crowing in the Bible.

On the third crow, the mystery out police will come around

and confiscate your radio.

All right, so you have been warned.

I'll only say the number when I've got phone lines for free. Repetition, as I've mentioned, is my job, really, to remember.
