now, uh, two accessible. like everyone, everyone can get hold of and why is this of it. and why is this proliferating at such such proliferating at such a such a rate? well, why is it because it's cheap? yeah, i see, i see i mean, maybe that's why it's cheap and it's, there's something about british people that like that like it. i don't know. well i think this, this . know. well i think this, this. sorry. well, i'm just saying, like this is not, you know, i'm surprised you i surprised at this. you know, i don't sort of thing and don't do this sort of thing and i know people who do this. i don't know people who do this. sorry for interrupting. okay. that's all right. this is an advert for drugs. not. advert for drugs. no it's not. they actually it is. it's saying how cheap it is. it's available everywhere . they actually give everywhere. they actually give a phone number of where to buy it. well, give phone number well, they give a phone number of the daily mail. of a dealer in the daily mail. 078855521 to speak to dave . it's 078855521 to speak to dave. it's available within five minutes. they'll come the daily mail code and you'll get a discount. they'll get a kickback . just to they'll get a kickback. just to emphasise is not true, by emphasise that is not true, by the way. that's just lewis being whimsical as ever. what do you make of this, though? isn't it very the war on very disturbing that the war on drugs, for endless drugs, it goes on for endless lee? you know, can't ever

lee? and you know, i can't ever tell of the measures tell whether all of the measures that authorities taking tell whether all of the measures tha'making:horities taking tell whether all of the measures tha'making it)rities taking tell whether all of the measures tha'making it worse taking tell whether all of the measures tha'making it worse making it are making it worse or making it better. certainly hasn't better. it certainly hasn't worked better. it certainly hasn't woried think the war on >> i don't think the war on drugs ever been won. i don't drugs has ever been won. i don't think it ever will be won. one of interesting factors of of the interesting factors of this particular is how of the interesting factors of this pimedia r is how of the interesting factors of this pimedia platformsiow social media platforms like snapchat are now snapchat and facebook are now playing their it's so playing their part. it's so readily can you readily available. you can you can instantly access via instagram and snapchat . instagram and snapchat. >> and i suppose cheap drugs , >> and i suppose cheap drugs, whatsapp, because it's encrypted as well . as well. >> yeah, makes it very >> yeah, this makes it very difficult the police to difficult for the police to monitor identify monitor and identify the drug dealers that type of thing. dealers and that type of thing. >> for me. i mean, >> it's tricky for me. i mean, um, entire culture um, this entire culture has passed i've never passed me by. i've never indulged anything this. indulged in anything like this. >> only recently indulged in anything like this. >> into only recently indulged in anything like this. >> into the only recently indulged in anything like this. >> into the media.y recently indulged in anything like this. >> into the media. yeah.ntly got into the media. yeah. >> it's only just started >> so? so it's only just started being so freely. being offered to me so freely. yeah but we haven't at yeah but but but we haven't at the buffet, don't we? >> did. >> yeah we did. >> yeah we did. >> it was out there with the sausage rolls, but you could use it maybe a weight loss mechanism. >> yeah i could schaffer. >> yeah i could do schaffer. that's an outrageous thing. no, but know, but it is concerning, you know, when getting when when it's getting cheaper, when it's readily it's getting more readily available. war available. and like i say, war on clearly, clearly on drugs, clearly, not clearly not know . so what's not working. you know. so what's the solution? i mean, lots of people should

people say we should decriminalise. do you know what? >> never to believe that >> i never used to believe that to true. that to be true. that seemed ridiculous and believe ridiculous to me. and i believe there a on drugs. but there was a war on drugs. but there's winner war there's only one winner in a war on and that is the drug on drugs. and that is the drug dealers. anyone who's worked in in line work in that line of work will probably thing. in that line of work will pro well, thing. in that line of work will pro well, the thing. in that line of work will pro well, the logic, thing. in that line of work will pro well, the logic, of thing. in that line of work will pro well, the logic, of course, >> well, the logic, of course, is that if you decriminalise, then gangster then the gangsters, the gangster industry disappears overnight. they've making. they've got no means of making. >> tried it, but >> we've never tried it, but on the hand, nothing is the other hand, nothing else is working. peter hitchens working. but then peter hitchens would we've never would argue that we've never actually seriously prosecuted a war not war on drugs, that we're not arresting it. arresting people for it. >> effectively, it's decriminalised facto decriminalised in a de facto way, they way, even when they decriminalise drugs, the gangsters control of gangsters still have control of the drugs take a look the drugs industry. take a look at and astrazeneca . at pfizer and astrazeneca. >> oh, here go. >> oh, here we go. >> oh, here we go. >> there . they're all gangsters. >> there. they're all gangsters. yeah wondered how long we'd get for lewis to go on to that. but never let's move never mind. let's move on to this now. this is a this story now. uh, this is a story in the i on boxing day and even though it's winter, the tories are feeling the heat. paul tories are feeling the heat. paul, have you got this one? >> yeah, they certainly are. tories facing growing elections . tories facing growing elections. threat from farage's reform uk . threat from farage's reform uk. now this is not really news to

us and probably to many of us and probably not to many of our viewers listeners. our viewers and listeners. however disaffected conservative voters are increasingly turning to nigel farage's reform uk. according to top pollster john curtice . and he is a man that we curtice. and he is a man that we all look for a look towards. sorry, when it comes to these, when it comes to these particular course particular polls. and of course what happened was two what happened in 2019 was two things. tories won a huge things. the tories won a huge majority their majority on the basis of their stance on brexit, i feel and but they also won a huge majority because reform step back right . because reform step back right. >> which they're not going to do this time which they're definitely not going to do this time. therefore there was >> and therefore there was a massive danger of splitting the vote. to vote. it's not a danger to reform. reform will reform reform. reform will just reform could end up. >> actually, some of these stats are the fact are quite interesting. the fact that 1 5 here 1 are quite interesting. the fact that1 5 here 1 in are quite interesting. the fact that 1 5 here 1 in 5. that 1 in 5 it says here 1 in 5. lee are now backing that 1 in 5 it says here 1 in 5. lee we've now backing that 1 in 5 it says here 1 in 5. lee we've seen backing that 1 in 5 it says here 1 in 5. lee we've seen aicking that 1 in 5 it says here 1 in 5. lee we've seen a lotng that 1 in 5 it says here 1 in 5. lee we've seen a lot of reform. we've seen a lot of polls that are suggesting that the conservative voter, a typical traditional typical sort of traditional hardline conservative no hardline conservative voters, no longer served support the conservative the tories conservative party. the tories are real trouble these are in real trouble when these smaller parties turn up. >> certainly, they >> almost certainly, and they will reform . will need their own reform. yeah. yeah, absolutely. >> are thoughts

>> well, certainly from my perspective, not a big fan perspective, i'm not a big fan on big government. don't on on big government. i don't like however, like the nanny state. however, we a time of we live in a time of sort of obesity crisis and the obesity crisis and all the associated illnesses. i don't know if believe any know if you believe in any of those louis, but those illnesses, louis, but diabetes stuff like that diabetes and stuff like that probably doesn't. diabetes and stuff like that probabthinks;n't. diabetes and stuff like that probabthinks they can all >> he thinks they can all be cured by cow. no, cured by just by eating cow. no, you what it is. i'm trying you know what it is. i'm trying to different perspective. to give a different perspective. it's a different perspective. to give a different perspective. it's saying.ent perspective. to give a different perspective. it's saying.ent saying:tive. to give a different perspective. it's saying.ent saying not. it's saying. it's saying not necessarily. maybe. maybe obesity is good in the coming famine. war i think famine. and war years. i think that's ridiculous point. >> but we need to move on. a story the telegraph story from the telegraph now. and apparently aren't and apparently children aren't ungrateful. just lack good ungrateful. they just lack good manners. yeah. is fascinating. >> this is so. this from a >> this is so. this is from a journal called the, um, elsevier . i don't know how you pronounce elsevier. of cognitive elsevier. journal of cognitive development. doctor elsevier. journal of cognitive devel0|uhent. doctor elsevier. journal of cognitive devel0|uh ,1t. doctor elsevier. journal of cognitive devel0|uh , nicholas doctor elsevier. journal of cognitive devel0|uh , nicholas knowles,r called, uh, nicholas knowles, and he's done this research study. a proper study in study. so it's a proper study in a journal . and a proper medical journal. and he's when little he's saying that when little children, the ones children, you know, the ones under give under seven, you give them a present. don't generally present. they don't generally say you. and this is say thank you. and this is largely been interpreted them say thank you. and this is larg�*being an interpreted them say thank you. and this is larg�*beingreallyerpreted them say thank you. and this is larg�*being really ungratefulthem say thank you. and this is larg�*being really ungrateful .1em just being really ungrateful. and this scientific and this science, scientific study is saying that's not the case. the reason why they don't is understand the is they don't understand the concept until they

concept of generosity until they reach seven. what reach the age of seven. and what that is that if you give that means is that if you give them a present, in them a present, they think in their minds if they say them a present, they think in their ryou,; if they say them a present, they think in their ryou, they if they say them a present, they think in their ryou, they will1ey say them a present, they think in their ryou, they will be say them a present, they think in their ryou, they will be expected thank you, they will be expected to give to reciprocate and give the present they don't present back. and so they don't say thank you. so it's more a kind of social, social awkwardness from, young awkwardness from, from the young that's interesting. awkwardness from, from the young that's see iteresting. awkwardness from, from the young that's see iteresinig. awkwardness from, from the young that's see iteresin my own >> now i see that in my own daughter, i've seen in daughter, and i've seen that in family members and stuff like that. louis? that. what have you seen, louis? i've in myself. i've seen it in myself. >> never said you >> you've never said thank you for anything. the way. for anything. no just the way. you sorry because you can't say sorry because i never enough . i never never got enough. i never got enough so how do enough in life. and so how do you thank you? i think i you say thank you? i think i think this is a ridiculous story because. you're because. because when you're young, just used to young, children are just used to getting stuff. don't. getting stuff. they don't. they're spoilt children. getting stuff. they don't. they're you?;poilt children. getting stuff. they don't. they're you? ;poilt should an. should you? you should spoil children. good children. i was a very good parent 1 years old. i parent from 0 to 1 years old. i believe give you give believe you give your. you give your children everything. if i if i got given a present and i didn't thank you, i'd be, didn't say thank you, i'd be, you into bucket you know, thrown into a bucket of whatever. so should of glass or whatever. so should you baby to be thankful? >> that's the point of >> no, that's not the point of the though. louis is the the story, though. louis is the point of the story is like andrew is about andrew says, this is about children expect andrew says, this is about child christmas, expect andrew says, this is about child christmas, but expect andrew says, this is about child christmas, but also xpect andrew says, this is about child christmas, but also about from christmas, but also about the children. the psychology of children. >> interesting, you >> it's very interesting, you

know, way that we interpret know, the way that we interpret them, because tend them, because we do tend to interpret children in the way that adults would that we think adults would react. this is suggesting there's quite there's something quite essential about the cognitive development essential about the cognitive devel0|they're being means they're not being ungrateful. i think that's really haven't really it's something i haven't thought i'm quite thought of before. so i'm quite interested in the story. >> thank you very much, >> well, thank you very much, andrew. and this andrew. the time's now and this story lesbians with story mixes lesbians with science. blow up science. louis hmm'hmm blow up dolls . dolls. >> what's that mean? i don't >> um, what's that mean? i don't know with science. it know, lesbians with science. it does doesn't sense. does. it doesn't make any sense. i don't know what's the story? >> no what is the story? >> yes. no what is the story? >> yes. no what is the story? >> him do the job. you're not sitting in that chair anymore. well, i well, it's not, it's not i was i pointed out it's not easy. it isn't you're still angry. pointed out it's not easy. it isn't couple 'e still angry. pointed out it's not easy. it isn't couple swapl angry. pointed out it's not easy. it isn't couple swap embryos to lesbian couple swap embryos to have each other's babies. what are these two. two women are these two? two. two women living hampshire. and they living in hampshire. and they met new zealand or whatever. met in new zealand or whatever. and to have babies at and they want to have babies at the same they got the exact same time. so they got some to donate some american dude to donate a spare. because i'm spare. not me, because i'm sperme deficient and so they're having they're, they've taken the eggs and they've swapped the eggs. so, so a is raising bees. bees child and b is raising eggs

guardian? yeah. so guardian? okay. andrew. yeah. so nigella lawson, we got there in the is story the end. so this is a story from the end. so this is a story from the guardian. she she's the guardian. uh, she says she's too use the too self—conscious to use the word because in one of word microwave because in one of her and a clip her shows. and this was a clip that went she called it that went viral, she called it a microwave . microwave? and microwave. microwave? yeah. and this became a viral clip . and this became a viral clip. and now she says that she has so much attention about it that she's actually really nervous about word microwave . about saying the word microwave. but it's and she's very but it's very and she's very influential. realise influential. i didn't realise this talking about influential. i didn't realise this when talking about influential. i didn't realise this when she, talking about influential. i didn't realise this when she, shezing about influential. i didn't realise this when she, she actuallyit how when she, she actually doubled the sale of goose fat after she endorsed it in a roast potato recipe on uk. that is the power of nigella lawson. yeah, um, but it's funny to me because obviously it was a joke when she was microwave microwaves . was saying microwave microwaves. that's that's a joke . that's a joke. that's a joke. it's not meant be taken it's not meant to be taken seriously, says. that's seriously, she says. that's the way in family, way they say it in their family, but they will do so for whimsical purposes, right? of course. been taken. course. and but it's been taken. paul course. and but it's been taken. paul, andrew. paul, say something. andrew. i was good was actually making a good point. thought, yeah, i don't point. i thought, yeah, i don't think always think maybe you always say i'm not a good point. but not making a good point. but lewis, the skill of lewis, part of the skill of being host is that detect being a host is that you detect when there's actually a good point let it ride

point going on. you let it ride and you in when it's i and then you come in when it's i didn't a good point, didn't hear a good point, and i think you're taking think you're just taking advantage position as advantage of your position as the this show. the producer of this show. um, paul the producer of this show. um, paul, you to something? >> think you were making >> well, i think you were making a good point there, andrew. i'll just for my annual make an just say, for my annual make an even but won't even better one. but he won't let me. well, i mean, don't let me. well, i mean, i don't see tries to see this. it almost tries to paint this kind of a class paint this as kind of a class thing. i think, where it's kind of because nigella of microwave is because nigella lawson she's lawson is she's posh, she's satirised, see as satirised, but i don't see it as that. it's whimsical, it's funny. people have a funny. posh people might have a different being funny, different way of being funny, but microwave funny. different way of being funny, blike microwave funny. different way of being funny, blike to microwave funny. different way of being funny, blike to saynicrowave funny. different way of being funny, blike to sayni she says it in a very sexualised way. >> she? >> does she? >> does she? >> way she says she >> i love the way she says she was too self—conscious. she's the who basically the kind of person who basically drew part . she's drew ruled over part. she's like, she's the most sexualised person on tv and she's so conscious, okay, that's very good.i conscious, okay, that's very good. i didn't mean to interrupt you, andrew. i'm trying my best over move on to over here. this is. move on to the time . okay? and here's the next time. okay? and here's a story, paul, about this a story, paul, what about this story about one of my strong suits? commune nation? yes .

suits? commune nation? yes. >> how can we learn to talk to auens >> how can we learn to talk to aliens and stop in intergalactic war? can we learn to talk to labuschagne? >> yeah, well, this is it. >> yeah, well, this is it. >> this is the point, isn't it? you know, i mean, there's lots of points here, but we can't talk don't know how talk to lewis. i don't know how we're to, we're going to talk to, uh, aliens, but article here is aliens, but the article here is sort of painting a picture. a book featuring experts such as noam , fan of the show, noam chomsky, fan of the show, has examined how linguistics could be used to decode communication from another world. and, of course, for me, immediately, this seems very pedestrian, as if this sounds like something from the 50s and 60s don't think if 60s as well. i don't think if auens 60s as well. i don't think if aliens were to invade that, eh, we would be able to understand them talk the them enough to talk the language. the language. would we know the dialect? the accent? >> i think it's >> yeah, but i think it's important like noam important people like noam chomsky kind chomsky are doing this kind of. i actually like, know, i actually think like, you know, if about it, there are if you think about it, there are billions milky billions of stars in the milky way, right? billions of stars that which way, right? billions of stars that there which way, right? billions of stars that there will which way, right? billions of stars that there will be which way, right? billions of stars that there will be habitable means there will be habitable planets then this planets somewhere. so then this is fermi's is a thing called fermi's paradox, basically paradox, which is basically that you know, given that there's

high that is high likelihood that there is extraterrestrial life, come extraterrestrial life, how come there complete of there is a complete lack of conclusive evidence, and it means aliens just means that the aliens just aren't there's aren't reaching us? and there's aren't reaching us? and there's a what it is that a a theory that what it is that a civilisation reaches a point where it becomes advanced where it becomes so advanced that destroy that it will always destroy itself. and lots of people now think of think we're on the verge of that. why don't that. and that's why we don't see aliens, because they've that. and that's why we don't see blown iens, because they've that. and that's why we don't see blown themselves;e they've that. and that's why we don't see blown themselves up.1ey've that. and that's why we don't see blown themselves up.1ethink all blown themselves up. i think there's to it. i think there's something to it. i think there's something to it. i think there is. i think there's there is. i don't think there's anything, to this, anything, anything to this, basically, stars are basically, because the stars are so if you, if if so far apart. if you, if you if you a of dust here, you have a speck of dust here, do you know, within near and that was whatever it is . all that was whatever it is. all right. moving on. how right. so we're moving on. how can we learn to talk to i think i've all right. job on i've done it. all right. job on this thing. you haven't finished it. actually doing the it. you're actually doing the job at the moment. >> have going. >> you have to keep going. >> you have to keep going. >> appraise, >> you can't self appraise, comment while you're comment on the job while you're doing job. doing the job. >> we can have that discussion doing the job. >> win:an have that discussion doing the job. >> win the have that discussion doing the job. >> win the green 1at discussion doing the job. >> win the green room.cussion after in the green room. the people to see that i'm people want to see that i'm a human being and not somebody infallible. but andrew, what about this story about one of my strong suits relationships? that's another one. not just communication. so communication. yeah. okay, so apparently a research, apparently this is a research, but research but although they say research but although they say research but called but it's a website called finding the one. com so i'm not
