leading britain's conversation this is a podcast from lbc james o'brien it is now time for your

your weekly dose of lightheartedness in levity mystery hour is upon us um i think actually

given the fact that we've come to it rather late you could probably be spared one of my

lengthy explanations of precisely how mystery hour works, but of course we haven't

taken any phone calls on the program for 20 minutes, and that historically sometimes leads

to a slightly slow start. So I mention that to you so that you know if you hit the numbers

now, you will get through. 035-60609-73 is the number that you need. And you will only hear me mention that number, of course,

as and when I have vacancies on the old board. If you know how it works and you've got a question,

you probably won't get a better opportunity to get to the front of the queue in the next few months than you do,

or than you have today. If you don't know how it works, I will fill you in briefly.

And how brief this filling in is depends on how many people get in touch quickly and accept this invitation to curtail my customary introduction.

It's about mysteries, questions that must have answers, but you don't know what the answer is.

The who, why, what, where, when's with, orfore. Why do we do that? Where does that come from?

It can be hardcore scientific, you know, something really complicated said to myself, don't forget that one today,

and it's gone. It's slipped out of my mind. It will slip back in again. Every time I get in a taxi,

well, not every time, but very often when I get in a taxi, I have a conversation about this,

curious, inability to remember the stuff that you've said to yourself since last Thursday. I must

ring up on Thursday and ask him that question. I always say to the taxi drivers, I'm the same. Don't feel bad about it. I present the flipping thing and I'm always,

even on it this week, Thursday morning, it's got as far as Thursday morning rolling out of bed.

I think, I must ask that question. I really want to know the answer to do. But I didn't. I didn't. Should we just crack on then today and do away with... Are we good to go, guys?

We're good to go?

We're good to go?
