CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
Take some government advice, sit the family down,
and get ready for your daily hour of screen time -
it's Friday we're live and it's time for The Last Leg.
Tonight we focus on Iran, give social media the side eye and zoom
in on disability sport and we are
joined by a Charlotte Church and
Nabil Abdulrashid. On the show that
always takes a stern look at the
news.
G'day.
Wow!
I'm Adam Hills.
Welcome to The Last Leg,
the show that heard the owner of OnlyFans died and thought,
"I wonder if you have to pay extra for an open coffin."
With me are the pride of Dartmoor Josh Widdicombe...
...and the man who thought crude oil was the opposite of extra virgin,
Alex Brooker.
APPLAUSE.
Loads to get through. Something happened to me during the week, I
know it happened to Alex in a
similar way.
I was walking to tennis and a woman looked at my
prosthetic and said, "Ooh, ouch."
I had it taped up. I keep saying, you have got to get a new leg. I
like this one. Ditto I like this one
as well. This woman saw my
prosthetic leg and went, "oh, ouch!"
She went so quickly that I didn't
have time to go... What a weird
thing to say? Imagine she seen
Brooker - ouch! Like ET with a light
up finger. You said a woman walked
past and saw you in our tennis gear
and said ouch, I thought she was the
fashion police! But you know I have
had it before. I was in my shorts
and I was in the supermarket and a
geezer kept looking and you know
when something's going to say
something. He went, so, what
happeneded there? I said I had to
have my foot amputated when I was a
baby because I didn't have a bone in
my lower leg. He just went, "well, I
hope it gets better!"
You must have had people wish for you to get better. Yes I used to
only have one leg, but it grew back.
You had it in the gym. I was in the
gym and this geezer kept looking at
my leg. People do a double take,
specially in the gym. They're going
he has done more than skip a leg
day. He kept looking at the lower
part. I got in the shower at home
and I had forgotten I had let my
eldest decorate the leg with
stickers. Including one that just
says "love". Which Josh put on
there. When you lifted your trousers
up, the only thing I thought was -
ouch! It is fine, my with the
Sabrina Carpenter stickers, I looked
like a pervert.
I'm about to say a sentence now that I've never said on the show,
and never thought I would.
In other capybara news...
LAUGHTER.
A rogue capybara escaped from Marwell Zoo last week and has
been spotted across Hampshire, at a pub quiz and on the banks
of the River Itchen.
"I don't know who that hairy guy was,
but he was great on South American geography."
Alex Brooker.
This surprising video was taken of the rodent on the banks
of a river, but listen for the name of the woman's dog.
Growler? Growler? Oh, no Growler, wait.
Growler? Growler? Oh, no Growler, wait. Growler!
What the hell was that?
Who calls their dog Growler?
Is that this year's Fenton?
I'm not sure naming your dog after slang term for growler parts is...
This is my sausage dog Schlonge.
Here, Minge. I have always wanted to
shout that on TV. I don't believe I
said the word minge on telly.
Alex, you actually met a capybara recently?
There he is. He thought I will see this thing with funny paws. The
capybaras are like star bucks, if
you get ten, you get to keep one.
We are live, so feel free to ask us any questions about
the news.
You can message us on Instagram with the hashtag #isitok,
or on WhatsApp using the number 07956 175 908
or by scanning the QR code on the screen.
Crispin Fish irasked will Tiger Woods be looking for a new driver?
We all wondered what World War III would look like.
Turns out it's a lot more ridiculous than any of us would have predicted.
In the last 24 hours, Donald Trump described
the British Navy as "toys," said Iran had been
"beat to shit," and implied that the new Ayatollah was gay.
It sounds like Jay from the Inbetweeners. One of your mates came
out with that stuff in the pub, you
would say, shall we get him home?
We're not sure which of those statements prompted the CIA
Director John Ratcliffe to adopt this relatable pose.
I thought they were just playing hide and seek? 99, 100. Donald is
hiding the one place you wouldn't
expect - Melania's bedroom! You know
when you play hide and seek with a
kid, with Donald Trump, you know,
you can see him poke, out, but you
have to prevent you can't see him.
Trump also rambled at length about his love of Sharpie pens,
before owning himself in this less than humble brag.
I'm the only person that ever took a cognitive test. I took it three
times, it is a hard test for a lot
of people, it wasn't hard for me. It
starts with an easier question and
by the time you get to the end, very
few people can answer those
questions, they get tough, equations
and things. I took it three times. I
aced it all three times in front of
numerous doctors, who I have no idea
who they are. Why is he doing it
again? If he is acing it, they're
going that was good, I have got to
see you do it again. I think it
passes it, goes out and has another
press conference and says, this
computer doesn't work. Having to
take a test multiple times is not a
good thing. I don't want to get in a
cab with a driver who says, I have
taken the test nine times or you
going home with someone who says I
have been tested for syphilis four
times.
There's been a lot of back and forward this week.
In fact, the whole thing has been very "he said, Shi'ite said."
Trump has repeatedly said this week that
Iran are "begging for a deal," but they say that's not true.
And lets' face it, it's definitely not the first time Trump's assumed
someone was begging for it when they absolutely weren't.
AUDIENCE GROANS. Yes! Repost that one you orange furball!
This week, an Iranian spokesman explained the
situation in a way that made it sound less like a geopolitical
confrontation and more like a high school spat.
Our American counter parts have begun sending messages through
others. Other countries that are our
friends. If there are messages
through others to which we respond
with our own position and demands,
that is not called conversation, nor
negotiations or anything. This is
simply sending messages through
others.
That's the political equivalent of saying,
"If you've got something to say to me, say it my face."
The only time you pass messages to someone through your friends is when
you're at school and you fancy
someone. Speaking of which, Adam,
can you come over here a second? Do
you mind? Can you... Just give this
to Josh for me, please? Not with a
capybara involved, no!
Don't worry, you can't catch it, I have been telling you for 14 years.
I have been tested four times!
At one point this week, Trump said he was working with the Ayatollah,
but that's the same guy whose father Trump killed, and who may
or may not be in a coma.
So he's either angry or sleepy.
How will the talks go if he is in a coma.
It'll be like Weekend At Bernie's.
It's not surprising that Iran were a little bit
confused by it all.
This week, Donald Trump presented them with a 15-point plan.
Check out the specifics in this vague clip.
15 points. They won't have a nuclear weapon that is No 1, that is no 1, 2
and 3. They will never have a
nuclear weapon.
You can't just repeat the first two points over again.
It's not the rules of Fight Club.
Four through 15 are, "What did I just say?"
Everyone thinks the reason why they're not agreeing is because of
the nuclear weapons. But its not, I
found out that the US are asking in
those 15 points, asking Iran to do
things that are impossible - like
point 6 is eat a doughnut without
licking your lips. And one is find
something that rimes with orange.
One, two, three, are no nuclear
weapons. One, two, three, four, are,
I declare a thumb war. And five,
six, seven eight, is who do we
appreciate?
The mad thing is that Iran already agreed
not to have a nuclear weapon before this war began.
In fact, the entire plan seems to be from May 2025.
The giveaway was that it contained references to the Hawk Tuah girl.
Point 7 is you have to watch Adolescence. I think it's... I
forgot what I was going to say! You
know what, I was thinking, is the
Hawk Tuah Girl laughing? Point 11 is
you're to listen to Lily Allen's new
album. And I won the thumb war.
Earlier in the week, Trump thanked Iran for giving the US
a "very big present worth a tremendous amount of money."
Turns out, the big gift was allowing eight ships
through the Strait of Hormuz.
Eight.
Before the war, there were 138 ships a day going through that Strait.
This is not that much of a gift!
If this was Love Actually,
Donald Trump just got a Joni Mitchell CD.
Thankfully the British ship HMS Dragon finally arrived this week,
four weeks after the war began.
And they had to borrow a ship from Germany. How that is working,
borrowing a ship off someone to take
to war. Is Keir Starmer having to go
around with a German bloke with a
diagram, marking where the dents are
in the car. There is a scratch on
the starboard side. The captain gets
in the seats really far back. Make
sure you return it with a full tank!
So as the ceasefire is extended, and the world speculates as to how
Donald Trump is behaving, we think we've found
a pattern of bullshit.
There's an acronym being used to describe Donald Trump's way
of operating, and it's TACO - Trump Always Chickens Out.
But I think something else is going on,
and I think Trump's hairstyle is the key to all this.
Donald Trump likes to charge into things head-first.
But it doesn't always work out.
Take Iran, for example.
This is a vague map of the Strait of Hormuz.
Can you tell what it is yet?
APPLAUSE.
Trump bombed these guys, who then attacked these guys,
and blocked this up,
stopping all the oil coming from over here.
As you can see, he's made an absolute mess of it.
So what does he do?
APPLAUSE.
He just brushes over it with claims of a peace deal
that may or may not exist.
All he needs is a sympathetic media to create a smokescreen
and hold his story in place.
Oh, that's real. The hair? It doesn't look like my hair now, let's
be honest.-- doesn't look unlike my
hair now.
But this isn't the first time Donald Trump has done this
Look at Stormy Daniels.
Trump denied having an affair with the former adult actress,
but his lawyer paid $130,000 in hush money
for her to keep quiet about the allegations.
Oh, I got it in my mouth!
What about Trump University, set up in 2004?
It didn't actually confer grades or degrees,
and was the subject of a number of lawsuits,
three of which Trump settled out of court for $25 million.
Then there was Trump Steaks.
It's in my eyes!
Trump Casino Atlantic City.
And Trump Shuttle,
an airline that went under,
ironically, partly due to a spike in fuel prices during the Gulf War.
That was like being in Guantanamo Bay.
Donald Trump has spent his life running headfirst into things,
making an absolute mess, and then somehow managing
to cover it all up, which means Taco doesn't stand for
Trump Always Chickens Out, it actually stands for
Trump Always Combs Over.
APPLAUSE.
And there you have it.
Male pattern bullshit.
All right, let's welcome tonight's guests.
She's a singer who hosts dreaming retreats in the woods.
He's a comedian who has a purple belt in ju jitsu.
She's a lover and he's a fighter.
It's Charlotte Church and Nabil Abdulrashid.
APPLAUSE.
Hello!
CHEERING.
What do you make of the world at the moment, Charlotte?
SHE GROANS.
That can be an answer. I think we would not be in this pickle if there
were far more women in power.
APPLAUSE. I think really the long and short of it is male egos. No
argument here. Nabil, what have you
made of Trump under Ron and all of
it?-- Trump and Iran. Well, far be
it from me to regurgitate crazy
right wing conspiracy theories,
but...
APPLAUSE.
Donald Trump is friends with Elon
Musk. There was a fake break-up, and
Elon Musk is all in favour of
electric cars. They fixed that
break-up, he then starts a war that
makes oil become expensive.-- faked
the break-up. Donald Trump has
become radicalised by Just Stop Oil.
LAUGHTER.
APPLAUSE.
And be further proof as this. What are they known for? They put orange
paint on statues. Stay side, people.
paint on statues. Stay side, people.-- state woke, people.
- state woke, people. APPLAUSE.
Charlotte, you are asked to sing at Trump's inauguration.
In 2017, you tweeted,
"Your staff have asked me to sing at your inauguration.
A simple internet search would show I think you're a tyrant.
Bye," followed by four poo emojis.
Any regrets?
Would you add a fifth poo emoji today?
Yes, definitely.
This week, Trump's egomania reached new heights as a coin was approved
with him on one side, to mark America's 250th anniversary.
This is what the brash new coin reportedly looks like.
He looks like he is about to get a prostate exam. I have had three
prostate exams, and I aced them all.
APPLAUSE.
With a whole bunch of people, I
don't know who they were.
What's weird is, in America,
it's illegal to have a living President on a coin.
There are two ways of fixing that.
There are some arguments over how big the coin should be,
and still a few over the design,
so bring in the coin!
Not surprisingly, Trump wants it to be as big as possible. This is the
biggest one we could make.
As you can see, this is the front, or the heads, if you will.
But every head needs a tail, so this is what we think
the back of the coin should look like.
APPLAUSE.
I'm pretty sure that is called Buttcoin.
We'll have more Last Leg for you after the break,
APPLAUSE.
Welcome back to The Last Leg.
We're joined by Charlotte Church and Nabil Abdulrashid.
In other news, a woman in America has successfully
sued Meta and YouTube over her childhood addiction
to social media.
Jurors found that both companies intentionally built addictive
social media platforms that harmed the 20-year-old's mental health.
How do we all feel about this?
I'm pleased they have lost, I think it is excellent news. CHEERING AND
APPLAUSE. Because you sent me that
in a Facebook message. I think
obviously there is lots of positive
things and social media, but I
think... It is not just that I think
companies are not interested in
stopping people addicted to it. It
is beneficial for them to make
people addicted to it. They want
people on it and they want people
addicted and keep going. I think it
is obvious that they're doing that.
You run retreats in the wood, it is
perfect news for you. It is
important, the scientific evidence
is really, it is not just
compelling, it is just completely
self-evident that the cognitive
decline and the way young people's
brains are growing, because of
addiction to social media. This
isn't to say, technology isn't the
bad thing, technology is a tool and
can do some amazing things. It is
the intention behind the technology
and the people who have control of
technology are horrific fascists!
APPLAUSE. They are invested in us
being... You know captive in so many
ways. Our children being captive. So
I believe like we can't wait for
governments and nation states to put
in the legislation that protects us.
I think we have to practise
guardianship in our own households
and families. Now it has been proved
to be harmful, can they have
warnings on it like cigarettes, log
on to Facebook and see a photo of
someone who has been cat fished.
Nabil? It is almost like
millionaires don't care about
people! I have a restaurant policy
when it comes to these thing hs, if
you go to a Nigerian or a Chinese or
a Thai restaurant and there are no
Nigerians or Chinese or Thai eating
there, don't eat there. The owner of
tic Knock TikTok doesn't allow his
children on TikTok - what the fuck
are you doing on TikTok?
While we're talking social media, the thumbs up emoji has been voted
Britain's least favourite message icon, with people complaining that
it's "blunt, lazy and rude".
Tell me about it - fucking get rid of it. You shouldn't be allowed to
do it in real life.
What is everyone's most used emoji?
I'm a chronic voice noter. I think voice noting is a superior form of
communication. Why not just call?
You raise a very good point. Also my
husband's like on at me often that
my elongated you know sort of
bumbling voice notes are a little
self-ill dull gent. How long are
they I had one that was eight
minutes. I usually about three
minutes. That is already, my
favourite emoji that guy... The guy
with the big wide mouth guy? You
know the one? He has a big wide
mouth and he looks shocked. Yeah.
You know the one I mean? Yeah. That
guy. I know we have been going down
on social media and technology, if
somebody can make that into a
sticker! You know what I mean, those
awkward situations... Are the teeth
ones. That guy. Why didn't you know
your teeth then?
Meanwhile, Argos has ignited a debate after releasing
a wooden "influencer kit" aimed at toddlers.
We have one here. It is for ages three and above. I will set it up,
it has a tripod and a ring light and
a phone. I guess that is a I guess
that is a mini-tablet and a
microphone. What do we think? The
audience seemed horrified. I don't
like that, but where does it stop?
My first only fans kit? Oh! No! It
also comes with this portable plane
to get you out of Dubai.
We decided to jump on board and make our own children's toys for
kids who want to grow up to be on The Last Leg.
Lads, what have you come up with?
This is our Josh and Alex kit. You have the hair to be Josh. And the
glasses. Got the podcast mic. And we
have got, oh, that was... Because I
have got so many nails on my feet.
You have got Josh's modelling the
Alex one? I have the hair and the
mittens. The Alex Brooker hands. You
wear them at Disney, you get to the
front of queue. And your own slide
on prosthetic leg.
APPLAUSE.
I took it in a slightly different direction.
I've got a My First Bonesaw, some strawberry flavoured anesthetic,
and a shitload of bandages,
all in a little doctor's bag that says "Last Leg Amputation Kit."
Kids, send in your videos, let us know how you get on.
In royal news, the Sun said this week that the Duchess of York,
Sarah Ferguson, once met with an American production company
to discuss taking part in a TV reality show,
in which she would create clones of Elizabeth II's beloved corgis.
I was worried if she had taken it on it would have gone well and the idea
would be to clone Andrew. Then the
clone would go to prison. That is
clever. Do the jail time for him.
What if she mistakingly cloned a
hundred Andrews. What would you
rather fight, a massive Andrew or a
hundred little Andrews. Are we
stoned? This give you an idea for a
game?
Now, I'd say that there's no point cloning a corgi
because they all look the same anyway.
But if I had a pound for every time someone has said to me,
"I can tell any corgis apart easily,"
I'd have £2.36 now.
So we thought we'd put it to the test
in a game we're calling...
♪ Corgi eyes... I can't believe my Corgi eyes!
Yes, it's our brand-new game show, I Can't Believe My Corg-Eyes.
This is a game that the Queen herself used
to regularly play in her drawing room.
In a moment, my dear friend Alex Brooker and I will unveil nine
photos of corgis.
Eight of them are the same dog, but one is a completely different corgi.
Can you find the different Corgi. Use the powers of your own Corgi
eyes. This isn't just a silly game,
because we have an important special
prize on offer for you. Woo! The
prize is worth living if you don't
live in a flat or ha allergies.
There is Corg, A, B, C, D, E, CorgF.
I can hear Charlotte is already
playing. Cor H. What do you think?
Not the woo. Which Corgi are you
going for? What are you going for?
What do you think? I'm thinking that
C's the real one. Simply, because...
They're all real Corgis. None are
AI. It suspect Corg AI.-- it isn't
Corg AI. CorgC is not the one, the
uncloned one. Do you agree Nabil?
I'm not sure. Corg I looks like he
has some sus stance problem. C? C.
Nabil. I will see what I are
recognise! We probably need an
answer. I think Corg E. You think E.
You said C? Oh, well I can tell you
it is not right. Your eyes have
deceived you. It is Corg D. Sorry
you would have won the special
prize. Let's see what you could have
won. Let's bring it out.
♪ Corgi eyes. I can't believe my Corgi eyes... Hello, love. Oh, no.
It is trained to bark on certain
words. Certain words, yes, he is a
bit against a certain American
president. Does it work if I say
Donald Trump? Trump? DOG BARKS.
We'll have more Last Leg for you after the break,
as we meet England's deaf women's futsal team,
and celebrate a massive victory.
See you soon.
APPLAUSE.
Welcome back to The Last Leg.
We're joined by Charlotte Church and Nabil Abdulrashid.
In disability news, a woman by the name
of Becky Coleman is hoping to become the first wheelchair user
to row the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race
course in April.
She's here with us tonight.
Please welcome Becky.
APPLAUSE.
Becky, you are wearing a mask because you wouldn't want to catch
anything before the race, is that
right? Yes, I want to stay good for
next week. Awesome. When did you
start rowing? Just under a year ago,
a couple of days before the Oxford
and Cambridge boat race last April.
What changes have to be made to the
boat? I wrote with a fix it, I just
wrote with my arms, and I have
stabilisers as well. You are the
first person to do this. What is the
plan for the future? Possibly rowing
in the US as well at some point. And
maybe write a book at some point
about my experience of sepsis which
I had a few years ago. And you are
also an elite triathlete and a top
40 wheelchair tennis player. So can
you stop making the rest of us look
bad? APPLAUSE. We have a little gift
for you, little hands in a boat, the
Paralympic mascot. APPLAUSE. Good
luck. Give us a wave. APPLAUSE.
England were crowned champions of the European
Deaf Futsal Championship after their
2-0 win against Poland in the final over the weekend.
Here are some of the highlights.
Here's the first goal from Lucindha Lawson.
Here are the scenes at the final whistle.
And here's the trophy lift.
APPLAUSE.
We're very excited to have them in the studio,
and they're excited to be here, so put your hands in the air
like you really care - for the European Champions,
the England deaf women's futsal team!
APPLAUSE. women's futsal team!
Congratulations to you all. Zara, the captain, what changes are made
to the rules of your game? It is an
indoor five aside football style,
obviously that is the format without
the walls. We play on a hard surface
with a heavier ball, so it is a bit
different from football as we play
indoors, but in terms of the death
futsal game, we play without our
hearing devices, and the referees
are supposed to used flags instead
of puzzles.-- deaf futsal. It
doesn't always work out like that,
especially when you see a referee or
if Russell and everyone is still
running. Kate, what are the
challenges of playing deaf futsal?
Well, we can't hear, that the first
one.
APPLAUSE.
As we start, I think there are lots
of different things that play a
part, and so we have constantly got
to be aware of every single thing
around you, because as Zara said,
sometimes you keep running when
someone else has stopped, and you
end up clattering into each other
sometimes. So on the court, that is
one thing, and then off the court,
we have all got full-time jobs, and
then you have got Ellie with a
full-time job and she is also a
mother, so there are lots of
different challenges. Maisie, how do
you communicate with each other?
When we get each other's attentions,
we just get ourselves-- be
ourselves. Every country has its own
Simon Reed. But the hardest part is
getting each other's attention in
the first place. Some people can
pick up a bit of sound, so you can
yell at them and they will hear you.
Most of us, it is frantic waving. Or
you can jump up and down and stomp
your feet and still not get the
person's attention. Sophie, you are
17, so where are you calling home
regularly?-- were you calling home
regularly? To be fair, called my
friends more than I called my mum,
friends more than I called my mum, probably.
friends more than I called my mum, probably. We want to sign futsal's
coming home. Can you show us how to
do that? Does it have to be the
right hand? It's coming home
♪ It's coming home
♪ It's coming
♪ Futsal's coming home #.
We'll put those skills to use after the break,
as we hold a singalong and a sign-along for the England
Deaf Women's Futsal team.
♪ It's coming home
APPLAUSE.
Welcome back to The Last Leg.
We're joined by Charlotte Church and Nabil Abdulrashid.
In news you may have missed, former Tory MP named Crispin Blunt
Sharks swimming in the Bahamas have been found to have traces
of cocaine in their blood.
Oh, good, cos sharks aren't cocky enough.
Although it would be easier to get away from them if,
before they bit you, they insisted on telling
you a really quick story about crypto.
Can't wait for the movie Grinding Jaws.
Along with the Great White Powder,
sharks were also found to have caffeine in their system.
I don't know if you've ever seen an over-caffeinated shark
who's also taking cocaine, but if you've ever been to
an estate agent's Christmas party, it's pretty much the same vibe.
In news you may have missed, former Tory MP named Crispin Blunt
was revealed this week to have been in possession of crystal meth.
They also found cannabis, presumably for a joint,
or as it's known on the street, a Crispin Blunt.
He represented himself in court - which is never a good sign -
and said that he hosted drug-fuelled chem sex parties at his house,
in order to help inform Government policy.
What?! Oh, my days! A man of the people. That's crazy! I know, right?
I was up until 3am last night
working on policy. He might enjoy
prison. Working on prison policy.
Crispin Blunt lost the Party Whip in 2023,
and the Party Handcuffs a year later.
And in one final animal story, a squirrel was caught on film
in London this week, handling a vape in Brixton.
Here is the startling footage.
Somewhere in the Caribbean there's a shark on cocaine,
going, "Softcock."
And finally, Ipswich Town Football Club were forced to release
a statement this week after Reform leader Nigel Farage...
Boo!
APPLAUSE. I couldn't help it. I know, you hate Ipswich. Huge Norwich
fan.
Nigel Farage posted these promotional photos
of himself on a tour of the stadium with the caption,
"I've never been too bad on the right wing."
The club pointed out that it wasn't an official visit
and that they do not support any political viewpoint
Ipswich's rivals Norwich hit back with this cheeky post, saying,
"Book a stadium tour of Carrow Road."
Terms and conditions will most definitely apply.
Please thank our guests Charlotte Church and Nabil Abdulrashid.
APPLAUSE. And my co-hosts Josh
Widdicombe and Alex Brooker. We will
be back next week, please join us.
But right now, we are going to
celebrate the England women's deaf
futsal team who last week won the
European Championships. APPLAUSE.
Hit the music!
Thanks for watching The Last Leg, my name's Adam Hills,
see you next week for the next leg.
