1:17
Do you remember that? I fake-tan you? You fake-tanned me, yeah. You did, I remember you came in, yes

1:50
When we get people to dictate what we should talk about, the listeners, on a Monday, it's a celebrity
1:56
We're always shocked and surprised. Yeah. Who's been your most shocking celebrity

Mine was Gloria Estefan. I was going to say Gloria Estefan. Yeah, Gloria Estefan. I'll just pick that one up
2:04
Dr. Beat. Dr. Beat. Dr. Beat. So that was very cool. There's been lots
2:09
And then on Thursdays, real people sending topics. Yes. We discuss anything apart from politics
2:15
Yeah. Never talk about politics. It Monday so there is an episode that you can watch now So who on this Monday Well Today The biggest celebrity you could possibly have Who Santa Claus
2:27
Santa! Santa came! Santa! What do you, what do you... Daddy, Santa, why do you come down my chimney
2:34
Um, what do you call him? Santa Claus, Father Christmas. I'm actually a Father Christmas
2:38
He's fine. Are you Father Christmas? Yeah. There's so many names on there. There's so many
2:42
But he's on our podcast. Yeah, he is. He came to see us. We were all so excited
2:46
I'm not even joking. Lee was speechless. He didn't talk. I was just looking at the feet
2:51
I mean, that's very unusual. I didn't look at his eyes. Yeah? He got all nervous. And then Jill, your gorgeous wife
2:57
She was quite emotional about it all. Okay, so Santa is happening today
3:01
Who's the one guest you haven't had on that you'd like? As a foursome, who's the guest
3:06
Andrew Garfield. Andrew Garfield. Yeah. Anyone from Stranger Things? Yeah. You're a nasty fan, aren't you
3:12
Yeah, I am. Yeah, yeah. And we actually, we probably could get Millie Bobby Brown
3:17
because we, well, Lee knows her really well. I've met her before. Do it. But it's making that cool
3:22
Well, we went to a 16th birthday party when she was 16
3:27
And what do you get a 16-year-old you don't know? Because I didn't know her then. I drew a picture of her
3:31
There you go, there's a picture of you. Enjoy that picture. Okay. And then we went to her 18th
3:35
And I went to her 18th. What did you give her for your 18th? I gave her a pair of Spice Girl boots that I wore on tour
3:40
Oh, yes, I remember this. And I was like, I would have had those. to go in your special room
3:45
Okay, I've got two more questions. The first question is, has a conversation completely gone a different way
3:51
that you didn't expect in the podcast? Always. So it always happens
3:55
Always happens. Goes down different routes. We have actually as well got quite emotional
3:59
and quite serious on some of our... I teared up, didn't I? You teared up. I was talking about Jack Osborne
4:03
when he was in the jungle. Yeah. When he was talking about his dad. It made me cry watching it
4:07
And then when I was explaining it, it made me cry. I started tearing up. Look, he's doing it again. No, I'm not
4:12
More in an hour. And just for now, because Lee is sticking around for a bit
4:18
He is, yes. What is it like? Because you are both doing a podcast with your partners
4:22
Therefore, you are working with your partners. Yeah. So, like, you and Jade, obviously, we see you doing things together
4:30
You and Jill, not so much. Well, I've only just come out as me
4:34
Hello, my name is Lee. Everyone thought I was called Keith Lemon and forever saying
4:38
Oh, my name's Lee. And people just either laugh or just look dumbfounded It not a funny name is it I would call myself Gatticus if I was going to make a joke about my name His wife is
4:50
Rarely seen wife of Pierre Francis. This is quite big then, really
4:55
I love working with Jill. You know when we did the billboard and stuff
4:58
it was just so bizarre seeing Jill on a billboard or having a photo shoot
5:02
Yeah, she was all a bit out of her conversation. She's just funny and clever
5:07
and yeah, she's been great fun. Well, my agent says she's funnier than me. I was about to say that
5:14
I don't do funnies anymore. I'm 52, I'm a grown man. We've been friends for nearly 20 years now
5:20
so we know a lot about each other and you'd think we'd run out of things to say but we never do
5:24
We even go out for lunch after the podcast and we're still talking. It continues
5:28
I like it when it gets serious. Yeah. Because sometimes it gets serious. You know, I say silly things
5:32
and do swear bombs now and again. Yeah. But when it gets serious, I love it
5:37
I feel like a grown-up. It's a fantastic list, and also remember, it's a fantastic watch because you can watch it on Global Player
5:43
Unlikely Friends, new episodes every Monday. There's one today. Santa's on it on Thursday as well
5:49
And we sing a song. We sing a song with Santa. Do you
5:53
Yeah, we do. Is it called a harpsichord? Is that what it's called? Yeah, what's that? Wait, wait
5:58
Does that sound like a cat? That's a cat. Is it like an organ thing
6:03
Yeah, that you pull open and close. That sounds quite nice. What's it called? Guardian
6:09
Are you around an open fire? This sounds idyllic. No, we're around a bust of Ben Kenobi with a Santa hat on
6:16
Yeah. Definitely around at yours then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On Gremlins as well, some Gremlins, wouldn't they
6:22
How many times have you watched Gremlins so far? I know it's your favourite Christmas film. Well, I saw it over 100 times when I was about 12
6:29
because I remade it with my video camera. And back then you had to play, then press stop
6:35
and then write down the script because there was no internet. and he used to write down all the lines
6:39
just play it and write it down, then stop, then pause, play it, write it down. So yeah, but I've seen it with Zach Gallagher
6:45
who is Billy from Gremlins. Oh my God. That was weird. I think I nearly cried. Lee had a little party last night
6:50
