And then, three minutes later, I started the show and said, "What's the date?" ... forgotten again. I don't care. / Why do you not care about Halloween? / I just don't care about it. / Why not? / It's just not my thing. / What is your thing? / __ I __ gonna say what __ my thing, I'm sure people __ realize __ __ my thing.

"Builder's bum cleavage could soon be a thing of the past" it says here. ... "A new range of underwear ..." See? This is a contentious issue. Do we want to see the end of the builder's bottom? / I haven't seen it for ages. I thought it was, like, a 90's thing ... or 80's thing. / No. / Yeah. / ... What? You thought ... What do you mean "It's an 80's thing" ? / Well, when was the last time you saw builder's bum cleavage? / Huh ... now you're asking ... / Normally __ __ __ proper safety gear now. / I would say / seen / last ... I confidently say I've seen a builder's bottom in the last month. ... I __ __ say that ... I'm talking about ... I / coming out of __ shower or anything / trousers / Well, we're looking from late September / 今年の９月下旬以来、建設作業員の上部ハミケツを、一度でも見たというのか？ / builder / include ... __ I open that out ... plumbers, ... / Huh. / ... electrician ... any ... any ... any workman bending over and I've had a peep __ __ c__ __ definitely the last month. ... October, I would say. ... It's the 31st today / October? / Yeah. Current month. / I haven't seen it for years. / もう何年も見てないよ / Well, you think it's an 80's thing, don't you? / さっき 80年代のものだと言ったじゃないか。何年どころじゃないだろ。 / 90's, maybe / 90年代だったかな / I can't really remember 'cause I was a kid. / What? You think / an era __ __ kind of / when you say "peep" ... / Yeah? / ... can you amplify that? / uh ... / peep / is he or she aware of it? / when you see a builder ... / anybody / if / bottom / reason ... innit? / if / look away, you / still / ... All right. Glance / it's not / people __ glance / "You __ __ a glancing Tom." ... "I'm not." ... Uh ... I think a peak ... a peak, a peep ... a glance ... / __ __ to the listeners __ __ when is the last time __ __ __ / who thinks ... / I think __ __ a thing of the past. / When is the last time you saw a builder's bottom? Feature #1. ... Good. ... I'll just put a "When" / question mark on the story of __ __ __ ... Uh ... it says here, "buttock cleavage / posterior rugae to use its medical term. ... / __ __ very romantic / Why has it got a medical term? __ __ __ rushing through ER, __ __ __ emergency, emergency ... __ guy rushes in, paramedics rush in, "What's the problem?" ... "It's, uh, posterior rugae." / I ... I'm calling it __ __ out. ... / posterior rugae, bleep, bleep ... / it / got __ medical term, __ it? ... might have a ... more formal ... uh ... more formal way of describing it, using a Latin or whatever. / Yeah. /__ __ ... it can't be a medical term. It's not a condition, is it? / なんで医学用語だ？ 病気か？　建設作業員のケツは？ / doctors listening / anyone / hospitalized __ builder's bottom ? / 2. ... Feature 2. / "How long have we got?" ... "About 2 inches." / It says here, "... posterior rugae, to use its medical term, is the s__ of construction sites." ... That's interesting. ... " __ __ __ __ __ all over the world, but ... / Hang on, __ __ __ ? __ __ __ __, is it? / Well, ... that's interesting, though, innit? ... that ... you know, we are all aware of the ... uh ... phenomenon ... not that ... I don't call it a medical issue, but phenomenon / posterior rugae, / buttock cleavage, builder's bottom, call it what you will ... uh ... but that's generally ... you're ... sort of, uh ... it ... it's the ... the public, innit, that are ... I mean, if there is a victim / 被害者がいるとしたら、それは一般大衆だ / to me, it's a victimless crime / if it is a crime at all. / これは、「被害者のいない犯罪」と言える。「犯罪」と呼んでいいのかわからんが。 / I don't like seeing it. / Huh. You don't like seeing it? / Pull your trousers up. / OK. ... You don't like seeing builder's bottom, right? / Huh. / You think, "Pull your trousers up", / Yeah. / ... or whatever, right? But ... I think it's ... um ... can't ... just thought of them .... I __ had an out-of-body experience, you know ... you know, when you ... you rise out of your body / look down __ __ the studio, going, "I think / I think posterior rugae / "I think builders' bottoms ..." Just caught myself __ __ Oh my god ... my god. Last week, it was "Name your favorite trousers from a film", ... now it's this. / 今オレは、幽体離脱して、作業員のケツについて語っている我々の様子を上空から眺めてしまったよ / This is ... this is __ __ favorite trousers / but it says here ... My point is ... my point is, it's, uh, ... the public often feel, I think, you know, "Oh, pull your trousers. I don't want to see a builder's bottom __ __ it says here, / s__ of contruction sites / I wouldn't have thought / other builders get irritated / 一般大衆が作業者のケツを見たくないってのはわかる。しかし作業者もほかの作業者のケツを見たくないってのは知らなかった。 / builders / Oh, god. I'm gonna work today and I'm gonna have to see ... / Trevor's gonna be there. ... / Bob's bottom again ... / Yeah. / Yeah. ... Do they? I don't know. Write in. / 建設作業員の方々、メールまたはテキストをお寄せください / If you are a builder, is builder's bottom an issue? / __ __ seems __ __ fashionable now / a lot of kids / trousers down / Well, that's the thing these days / a builder or just a teenager. / Very difficult. Without __ __ __ __, you can't tell. / 作業員のケツが見えているのか、若い人がファッションでやっているのか、見分けがつかないことがある。 / Can we recommend, all builders, / 建設作業員の方々にお願いします。常にセメントミキサーを引きずって歩いてください。見分けがつくように。 / if you just pull around a cement mixer, just so that, for the public, it's easier to know who's who. ... It says here, anyway, anyway, the point of the story is, builder's bottom could soon be a thing of the past if a new French invention takes off. Uh ... / Really? /... Adrien Herve-Pellissier, a 24-year-old man from Rennes in western France, has come up with a new range of underwear designed, uh, to get rid of it. "I saw a particularly bad example on the street in Rennes." he said, "My friend .. uh ... says __ __ works in construction sites __ __ __ all the time / so, it took him nine months / he came up with a prototype to remedy ..." ... Look at this. ... We call it "builder's bottom", don't we? / __ __ __ __ better French __ __ lovely __ / French / got a better one. / __ ... you know __ __ __ __ / The French call it sourire de plombier. ... Do you know what that means? / I don't know. But I'm ... I'm swooning. / ... Well, get ready to swoon some more. The French call a builder's bottom a sourire de plombier, which means "a plumber's smile". / ... He's smiling at me. And that's ... / Please don't get rid of the plumber's smile. I'm gonna go out with a banner today, "Save the plumber's smile !" / 水道屋さんの微笑みを守れ！

Hello, Rhod, I recently visited the U.S.A." ... __ __ __ __ __ showing off, Johnny. "While I was there / a__y / the world's largest chest of drawers. / __ __ / ... I was going to see the John Coltrane statue ... in the same town, and, boom ! Massive drawers. / We didn't say __ __ didn't / John Coltrane / distracted. ... "Have you ever seen __ large furniture? Maybe a feature, Your Largest Furniture, could be fun. / says / Well ... we can give it a go if you want. Feature of the largest furniture you've seen / Or smallest ? / open it up / Uh ... "P.S., I saw what looked like a __ __ in a shop ... while I was there, although as it probably was not him, nor was he particularly out of context 'cause I assume the real __ shops / if / real __ __ / I can tell you I can confirm this. I know, uh, __ / he does shop __ __ __ __ __ __ particularly / very stylish man __ __ / Last time __ __ saw him __ he __ ? / Last time I saw him, we were ... uh ... I thought he might be dead, the last time I saw him, ... because ... I did a show with him, after which we stayed up ... Don't try this at home, kids , but we got drunk __ __ __ __ / when I left him ... when I left him at six in the morning, I thought, "He is never gonna see the light. He ... he's not gonna get to bed, he's not gonna make it. He's never gonna be seen again. He's gonna ... he's ... he's ... he's just gonna disintegrate in that chair in a hotel lobby ... He was just gonna ... just __ some dust / like __ Lemsip on the floor / I thought, as I __ come back __ next morning / train __ __ midday / 'cause I / I got up to catch my train / ten o'clock / fell asleep in __ ba__ for two hours, solid, ... woke up at quarter to twelve, go on / whatever it was, and he was on the train. Absolutely fine ... chatting with agents about some big deal. Absolutely fine. __ __ __, with two pairs of sunglasses on. ... Uh ... so, uh ... he was absolutely fine. So, there we go. While we're on the subject of Bob M__ __ __ __ / Huh. / Uh, get well soon, Bob ... / Get well soon, Bob. / ... is, uh ... is, uh, all ... all I can say. And, uh ... if you've anything like the stamina of your ... uh ... of your colleague, __, you'd be ... __ __ probably would have happened __ by now. ... I imagine he walked home ... straight after it. / He did it himself. / Um ... so, uh ... good luck. Obviously __ __ __ not serious with that / so, anyway, back to Johnny's email. Uh ... he said, "This isn't a very good, uh, Out Of Context Bingo 'cause it probably wasn't __ __ / wasn't out of context, but it's worth a p__, __ with the new point system and all." I / involved in this, uh, Clint / I / remember now. / __ __ __ __ __, yeah. / Yeah, you've been involved in Out Of Context Bingo. But are you aware of the new point system? / Oh, you've made it more complicated? / Well, I've got ... we've got ... um ... just ... just got a tally, you know. We've got a leader board now. / Huh. OK. / I ... I'll ... um ... after this / award some points ... we choose a winner on the day, and this is ... it's a bit more ... __ __ I've given a competitive edge to it all.

We're having a light-hearted gamble through the newspapers. That's what we are doing. / I'll tell you what. / Have you found anything? / Plumber's smile ... I've been thinking ... / sourire de plombier, yeah, yes / what / French call / builder's bottom. / Builder's bottom __ __ / __ __ __ __ / Um, this ... all right. Two things. / Yeah. / One: French invention __ __ __ ... / One: Congratulations, French people, for coming up with something better than "builder's bottom", which is ... / Yeah, yeah. / uh ... very literal, very British, isn't it? What do I see? I see a builder, I see his bottom, I'll call it the builder's bottom. / __ __ __ / I see a ... I see a plumber, and ... oh, look. I'll turn my head that way / yeah, what ... / __ appears to be smiling. / Why are you cocking your head like a curious dog, Mr. French man, looking at the builder's bottom? / Uh ... / __'s not a health__ interest, really. / That ... if you're ... if you are __ looking / 90 degrees angle / must have done / あれが微笑みに見えたってことは、首を９０度に傾けて見たってことだな / ... That's too much curiosity. / ジロジロ見すぎだよ / ... to see the full smile ... full crescent. / ... They saw the crescent, but ... / Yeah, / ... we saw the whole of the moon? / きゃつらは三日月に注目し、我々は月全体に注目した / Exactly that is ... that is what it's all about ... __ __ __ __ on about / Uh ... how come / invented / all underwear solves it. ... Just pull it up. / 余計な発明だ。パンツをずり上げればいいだけの話だ。 / I ... look, we never __ to __ end of that story. / We never did. / Hang on a minute / get rid of it. We'll finish it then / Where are you going? ... He's gone. / I'm going / hold the fort / gonna get / story / back / ... end of the ... Here's the end of the story / __, mate. / uh ... OK. So, if we cast our minds back / fact that ... because it's ... the ... the French have a name for it, it's ... this is pan-European problem. / Yeah. / This is a global problem / Is it global? Do you think? / I would think so, yeah. / Brazilian builders / we have listners in all over the world. I know that. So, get in touch if the ... uh ... sourire de plombier, or "builder's bottom" ... or, perhaps, what do you call it in your country, eh? If you are listening up in a mountain in China, like / listeners in Chile / listeners in South America, __ North America, Canada ... we've got listeners all over the world. A lot of them listen to the podcast __ __ be totally pointless to shout out, but what do you call ... maybe they can get in touch in the next week. What do you call a builder's bottom? / maybe they call it something different / you know, in ... uh ... China / this has to be a long collection of ... / Yeah, / ... names, over weeks. / yeah / I / maybe in ... like, / in ... you know, in Bhutan ... so, maybe they've got really ... I don't know, / sun rising / really oriental ... sort of, beautiful ... / Yeah, / ... beautiful image / Yeah. / maybe not. Maybe they call it "baboons". / Maybe / really small __ A__, uh, jungle rivers, they've got, like / you know, the untouched cultures ... they've still got a little ... sort of, like ... / still got a name for it. / Yeah. / the baboon's ... the baboons-how-do-you-do / Yeah. / maybe / yeah, maybe some clicks in ... uh ... in Swahili / Yeah. / Maybe __ ... maybe / just a click / __ anyone out there speak Swahili? / Yeah, yeah, I __. ... It's very rough, my S__. / You haven't brushed it up for years? / Uh ... so, you want to know how it's done? / ... What? / The builder's bottom ... / Oh yeah. / ... the underpants. You wanted a solution. / Oh yeah. / this guy ... the French man __ nine months to, uh, come up with the solution to the, uh, sourire de plombier, and __ said, the underwear that he invented has a 2.4 inch ... interesting, __ French men, __ go inches there / we go metric. / Yeah. / ... Uh ... 2.4 inch elastic band around the top. The product is a __ of elegan__ __." ... So French, isn't it? ... / __ __ __ __ / __ __ a bit of elastic around the top / ... e__ __ __ ... the underwear has a large elastic band on it. ... That's it, I think. / That's it? And it took nine months? / nine months, just __ a bit more pants . ... __ __ "I have solved it ! I've solved it ! I'll just make bigger pants !" / come up with / 9ヶ月かけて、その結果が、「そうか、パンツを大きくすればいいんだ！」 / ... Surely braces would have solved it / サスペンダーを付ければいいんだ / underpant braces / ... Because, surely ... / __ __ braces? / Yeah. I mean, he just / more elastic / band so when you squat down we don't / your sourire de plombier. ... Surely pant braces would have been a better idea. It wouldn't have taken 9 months / just takes me / couple of seconds then. / 開発に９ヶ月もかからない。２秒で済む。 / Yeah / ズボンのを再利用すればいいだけだから / who would you write to when you've got something like this? / Uh ... Dragons' Den? / Dragons' Den ! / I'm going __ __ __ Dragons' Den / get Dragons' Den __ __, Clint. / All right. / who / in it / around / __ I haven't seen __ for about seven years. / Is it still on? / I don't know. But I could __ old episode__. / __ TV __ __ let me in ... __ __ __ gonna repeat. This __ certainly __ pop up __ __ end of the repeat. / 再放送してもらおう。その終わりにちょこっと付け足してもらう。 / ... Uh, I think ... I definitely think ... honestly, I think, underpant ... / ... braces? / I think I've got it / underpant braces / this ... this guy hasn't __ __ / Oh __ __ ...

I think it's worth more than 3. / 3 ってことはない。もっとあげてもいいと思う。 / 4? / じゃあ 4。 / 4. There it is. / Now, let's give him ... let's give him ... 8. / __ __ I bothered questioning all that / 8. / 8 out of 20? / Yeah. / You've just ... just __ __ from 3 to 8. / almost like it doesn't matter / It is almost it doesn't matter, which ... which is the last thing we want listeners to think. / だってどうでもいいもん。 / 言うな。/ __ __ I __s just turn__ __ / paper, and you've got Steve Davis ... recommending windows. / Are you entering __ Out Of The Context Bingo / former world snooker champion / times / recommending ... uh ... windows / windows / double-g__ __ window__ / the back of the newspaper. / Yeah. / To be honest, he's been doing it so long / I think / more as the windows guy than as __ snooker player now. / Windows salesman, 6 times world champion / __ __ ... "Do you remember the window salesman, uh, Steve Davis? / __ __ __ other way __ he's really good. / He's a ... he's a funny guy __ __ __ __ Steve. ...

He's gone over to the printer again. / __ __ __ / Oh, it's on the floor. What __ __ __ / I've got piles of newspapers over this side on the floor. __ __ see ... / a holder / you / __ __ just bring your stuff __ crawling around / So far, on the leader board ... which __ __ __ __ / Leadr board? __ __ scraps of paper. / ... leader board ... Look at __. It says, Stewart with 20. Uh ... and his Out Of Context Bingo / 20 out of 20? / I call that more than __ leader. I'__ call that a winner. / Uh ... yeah, but / just change __ __ __ at some point __ __ make it out of 25. ... __ __ if we feel the need. / All right. / But, so far, the leader board, __ __ Stewart with __ with Martin Freeman's face. Uh ... he saw ... he saw Martin Freeman, uh, going through an airport at his ... height of his fame in The Hobbit, and the facial recognition thing didn't recognize him, ... which ... which I __ awarded 20 points to. / That's brilliant. / But, for which I've had quite a lot of emails about __ contentious ...

Yeah, here we go. Here it is. Look at this one. "Dear Rhod, uh, I have been listening to your show for quite a few good months now after my wife kept going on about it. ... Anyway, I'm writing vis-à-vis the Celebrity Out Of Context Bingo. Stewart won with 20 points for the story about Martin Freeman not being recognized at an airport by the facial recognition. I did like the story very much. But, in my opinion, it was not really out of context. Funny? Yes. Ironic? Yes. But, out of context? Not really. Martin Freeman may have been at the pinnacle of his career, but it wasn't the career that required being recognized by robots. ... If he was Helen of Troy, the face that launched a thousand ships, yes. Not having a face recognized / H__ / would be out of context / the real irony being / no one really know / まあ、あなたの番組ですから、好きにしてください。/ pictures / painted of her __ painted of her __ __ __ romantic ideal, but you get my drift. I think Michael J. Fox being in The Present was more out of context. But it's your show. ... All the best, Dan from __ __ in Scotland" ... You can see what ... Celebrity Out Of Context, what a contentious, uh, feature it is.

It says here, "Hi Rhod en ... e n Clint / oh __ she's from the Netherlands / presume / sounds like / I'll take it. ... Rhoden Clint / __ might have to, by the sound of it. Uh ... "In the Netherlands ... " ... moving on. "In the Netherlands, ... we call a builder's bottom a builder's cleavage" ... Huh. So, that, I presume, is __ translation. ... "Great feature." ... says M__. ... "Great feature." ... What do you call a builder's bottom where you live, anywhere in the world ? ... I was just interested to see if ... I don't know. Maybe, like, in ... I don't know. I could imagine ... in Singapore, ... in the east, you know, in ... do they have / they might have beautiful things for it ... / evoke beautiful images of sunrise / Yeah. / You know. / __ __ / You know, they're very polite over there as well. So, it might be __ __ "builder's shame" ... something like that. / 東洋人はお行儀がいいから、「作業員の恥部」とか、そういう表現なんじゃないか / It might be. We just don't know, mate. / That's __ / this feature is all about / This is why people come to Radio Wales ... to learn and have fun. It's like __ play group. / What do I call ... / call them / __ smile in another country / Uh ... in French, it is a plumber's smile. We've learned today. So, don't sound as if __ you don't learn anything on this show, ... whoever that was ... might have been my internal monologue ... Um ... "Hi Rhod, in the village of S__ in Glamorgan ..." Oh, look at this. There's actually a village that's got their own term for it. / didn't / think of that / thinking / there might be ... uh ... / you know, countr__ might have / different / for it / different languages might translate in different ways ... different cultural references. ... In the village of S__ in Glamorgan, the builder's bottom is famously known as a 'craftsman's crack'" ... A craftsman's crack. ... Who knew that? / That's good, 'cause / village of / S__ / G__ / uh ... plumbers. / It, uh, it is / generally __ more inclusive __ other work ... other work people. / __ plumbers, builders ... / I mean, I ...
