Speaker 1: Huggy Midfield General mister mid Mornings here mark twenty nine

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: years at this radio station. A remarkable rum which is

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: a lot about just how well loved he is and

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: how good he is at his job a day in

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: da out. He's never down. He's always happy to be

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: on air. And there are a lot of people who

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: when they've been in radio wil are jaded and cincle.

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Hugy isn't one of them. He's got a genuine joy

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: of radio and the legacy of radio and still been

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: lucky to be part of it today. And when we

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: started here he was nothing but behind that one hundred

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: percent when he didn't need to be so. Anyway, it's

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: a big day yesday for the station and obviously, Pats

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: you're at and whereby. After the show, we all sat

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: around and we sang kind of happy radio birthday to

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Hugging and we had had some cake. Now I didn't

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: know this about hug he'd been working with him two years.

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: I met his lovely wife and now about his family

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but I didn't know about this

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: is the big guy. He's got a very specific fear

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: to do with cake. Do you know this is it's

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: well known and well documented in that building in there.

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: He listeners have seen him cakes and he doesn't like

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: to eat them. Well, there's a separate thing about why

26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: he shouldn't do that because they might be poisoned. But

27
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, his fear of cakes is about it's a

28
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: fear of not knowing the origins of the cake. So

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: unless essentially, unless he's seen the all the ingredients go

30
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: into it, he won't eat a cake. He doesn't trust it.

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: No, And it took a lot of coaxing from us

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: to try and get him to have his birthday cake yesterday.

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Did you see him have any? He did have? Some

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: how shocked that he did. Yeah, the boss had to

36
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: assure him where it had come from and how it

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: been put together and stuff like that. And you know

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: it won't be one. I only mean to laugh at

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: his phobias, right that people have all kinds of phoberas

40
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 1: they can be really painful people. But I've never heard

41
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: of you know, most phobias are pretty well known, aren't they.

42
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: But I've never heard of a fear of the origin

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: of cakes. And I had a look online, because there's

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: a name for virtually every kind of phobia. There's alojexophobia,

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: which is the fear of opinions. One of our bosses

46
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: here has that, so very we're never allowed to set

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: off the rash otherwise, you know, giving opinions. What about

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: this one. Papaphobia is a fear of the pope. Yeah really,

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: I when you're gonna have a pretty good life, I mean,

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: how is that going to flare up? A fear of

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: the you know, Easter Sundays on TV, the rash is

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: coming up? The Papaphobia's back. I've had this one sometimes,

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: especially with home schooling at the moment. Nostrophobia that's a

54
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: fear of returning home. I love this one. Phobia is

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: a fear of atomic explosions. Well, surely we all have that, yeah, exactly.

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: And there's all yeah, there's a whole load these, but

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: I've never heard of the very specific one. A fear

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: of the origin of cakes and not knowing where the

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: cake has come from. So if you have an unusual phobia,

60
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: let us know this morning.

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: What is it?

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Unusual phobias? I don't know. This is a phobia. One

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: thing I don't like you remember when you were kid

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and you don't have to do it too often as

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: an adult. But I used to get lot sore throats.

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: They took my tonsels out, so I have to go

67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: to the doctors and have that horrible wooden.

68
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: Pedal makes me dry? Rich English?

69
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: How can something be so dry? It goes beyond dry?

70
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Just a touch of it, a light just touch on

71
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: your tongue and then they're pressing down the tongue depress

72
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: and may then imagine if they would scrape it phobia Okay, yeah,

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: it's actually making my throats okay. So we're looking for

Speaker 1: just that he's put block caps. What it is about it?

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of this stuff, it's text

78
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: during stuff like that for a lot of us, isn't

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: It feels like the tongue depress of that dryness and

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: so Christian, I can't have a terrible fear of ice cubes.

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: I fear they will stick to my skin. That comes

82
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: from the mysteriously named Woozy Robert's got a phobia feet

83
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: kind of look at his own feet. That's going to

Speaker 1: have no idea why this is from Lucy. I'm terrified

91
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: of the feeling of oil. I work as a chef

92
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: after wed gloves all the time, so I don't come

93
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,520

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,040

Speaker 2: Mate? Yeah, thinking about it makes my blood curl my stomach.

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: Just we were in the fruit shop the other day

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: and I actually like I heard some of the guy

102
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: was like putting some cucumbers or something out, and I

103
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 3: heard some of the polystyrene and my stomach like I

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: literally just had to stop. And my part it was

105
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: like what's wrong? And I pointed at and he just

106
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: started laughing at me. He teaches me about it all

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: the time.

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it about that? I get that completely.

109
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: It's the noise. And then it's like, what is that

110
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: that sound that it makes? Why does it make us?

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: It's like fingers down a chalkboard for me, that.

112
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: Is most definitely it's got.

113
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: It's terrible evil stuff. I dread when I open up

114
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: a package and there's polystone. Al Right, be lovely stuff.

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: Thank you very much and give us school. Have a

116
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: good day, thanks. Christian baye Irene, Good morning, Good morning.

117
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: I have an irrational fear of tomato sauce.

118
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Are you missing out? Oh? I mean well even as

119
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: far as pizza, you can't even have the tomato sauce

120
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: or the pizza.

121
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: Well that's the difference. It's a ketchup, so tomato ketchip sauce,

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: so tomato paste pure, that's fine. It's the ketchup that

123
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: get that really send shivers down my spine.

124
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: It's not interesting now, it's just been since childhood. So

125
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: you could have any of the ketch up with chips

126
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: or anything.

127
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: So as far as I can remember, I think I

128
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: can date it back to watching a movie and I

129
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 2: was crying. I was about four years old and Mum said,

130
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: it's not blood, it's not real. It's just tomato sauce.

131
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: And I think it's from then I think, yeah, this is.

132
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: Actually your child mind as development at the age of four.

133
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Ward they next time you see a bottle of ketchup,

134
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: you're just saying to think it was a bottle of blood.

135
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Why would I want that? My chips, so all these.

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: Families, so at the sight of a bottle. If if

137
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: we're having dinner or something and my husband wants tomato sauce,

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: I will sit further away from him so I don't

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: see it. And if he doesn't put it away back

140
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: in the fridge, I won't touch it. I'll leave it

141
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: there and then throw it out like I'll get tongues and.

142
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Hazardous the tongues Irene. Awesome stuff. Thank you very much

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: for sharing that with us this morning. No, thank you,

144
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: all right, Lisa, Good morning, Lisa.

145
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: Good morning, Christian.

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: All right, what's your unusual phobia?

147
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: Mate?

148
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: Oh? My unusual phobia is tenseful. So Christmas time is troublesome.

149
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: I feel like the Grange. Although my family and friends

150
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: are very supportive and no longer decorate with tins, which

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: I really appreciate. We use other decorations. There's lots to

152
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: douce from it. Christmas. I'm just avoid.

153
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: People.

154
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: Will it will care for my anxiety and also stop

155
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: me from feeling constantly nauseous at Christmas time?

156
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: And is it a texture thing?

157
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: Again, it's a texture thing.

158
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: I actually feel physically ill. I don't know if I'm scandaled,

159
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: it'll attack me or attached to me or credible, completely irrational.

160
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: And it's definitely Christmas time from basically October onwards is

161
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: a nightmare.

162
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Christmas gets early and earlier each year, more

163
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: of your year is gone.

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. So I spend my time avoiding

165
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: shops that have on their decorations.

166
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: To every single shop, whether it's your butchers or anything,

167
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: they've all got tensil in the window.

168
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: That's it. I wear like those horse blinders at Christmas,

169
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: Bell coming.

170
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,719
