00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:30Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Now, apparently, according to an article I read recently,
00:38there's a primary school in Derbyshire that's decided
00:40that for the little kids, it's better that they wear slippers in school
00:45rather than shoes, because it helps them to relax
00:48and produces happier and more productive children,
00:52and also it keeps the mud off the floor.
00:55And, I don't know, kids don't have to worry
00:58whether they've got the right shoes.
01:00I sort of... I'm floundering around with this.
01:03Apparently, it's a Scandinavian idea.
01:06OK.
01:06You know how lax they are in Scandinavia. Anything goes.
01:09Now, what do you think? I don't have a view.
01:12Do you think it's a reasonable thing to help children
01:15to relax and be happier in school?
01:18I suppose that's a good idea, but sometimes you've got to sort of,
01:21you know, grow up. There's got to be a process of growing up.
01:24I don't know. I think in Russia, it's a thing.
01:26As soon as you go to someone's house, you take your shoes off
01:28and you put slippers on, and they have slippers for everyone else as well.
01:31It's all about uniform as well, isn't it?
01:32These are my uniform.
01:34Exactly.
01:34If it was slippers, I'd be comfortable.
01:35Do you kick your shoes off when you get home?
01:37I kick my shoes off as soon as the show's done.
01:39I'm out the door with my bare feet.
01:41I've seen that, actually.
01:43Exactly.
01:43And then, do you put slippers on or you pad around the house?
01:46I've been trained well.
01:48I've been trained well with the slippers.
01:49You know what I mean?
01:49Taking up that custom.
01:50Yep.
01:51I don't think I've ever owned slippers.
01:54Really?
01:54I don't think I've...
01:55Well, you've got servants to sweep up after you, haven't you?
01:57This may account...
01:59No, sir.
02:00This may account for a number of defaults in my sort of character.
02:06I promise you, now that I think about it,
02:08I've never had a pair of slippers.
02:09Holy socks kind of man.
02:11Poor me.
02:11There we go.
02:13Your next birthday present.
02:15Pair of slippers.
02:16Nice pair of slippers.
02:17Size six.
02:19Nine and a half.
02:19Nine and a half.
02:20Good to know.
02:21There we go.
02:21Turning, now, from Rachel to Burke and Chillican.
02:24Welcome.
02:25You won your first game on Friday.
02:27You've had a restful weekend.
02:28And here you are, ready to take battle with David Orris on this occasion.
02:33Welcome, David.
02:33Thank you very much.
02:34From Launceston in Cornwall.
02:37It's a great county.
02:38Yes, sir.
02:38Now, what about hobbies?
02:39You're a golfer, a runner,
02:41but also you've volunteered driving for charities, local charities, getting people to various places.
02:46Yes, there's a charity called Chicks based in Tavistock.
02:50Chicks?
02:50Chicks.
02:51It's the country holidays for inner city kids.
02:53Oh, good for you.
02:54Anyway, you're very welcome.
02:55A big round of applause for David and Burke and.
03:03And over in the corner, Susie, of course, who I trust had a very good weekend.
03:07Lovely, thank you.
03:07And as I hope did our guest, who's here for the last day.
03:11But what a great guest he's been.
03:14Writer, broadcaster, musician, foodie.
03:16Jay Rayner.
03:17I hope you've had a good time with us.
03:20I've had a delightful time.
03:21And I have to say, by coincidence, you know, Rachel mentioned it's a uniform.
03:25I'm wearing exactly the same pair of shoes.
03:27Yes.
03:28But pyjamas as well for a more relaxed edge.
03:30Well, I thought I'd kick back this being my last day.
03:33Well, just delightful to hear.
03:35I'm just trying to imagine the amount of square, you know, weight per square inch on our poor studio floor.
03:41How dare you?
03:42With those big, big heels.
03:43The engineering has been taken care of.
03:46Rachel, they're very rigid heels, though, aren't they?
03:48That's fantastic.
03:50All right.
03:50It's amazing I can stay upright.
03:54I'm sitting here very firmly.
03:56Birkan, get us out of this muddle, will you?

13:41So, Burkhan?
13:43I did 50 times 8.

13:47And then 100 divided by 25 is 4.
13:49For the 4, yep, well done, 4-0-4.
13:52Well done indeed.
13:54Well done.
13:54So, 40 playing 28, Burkhan consolidating that early lead as we turn to Jay.
14:02And Jay, you brought us some interesting, fascinating food reports for the One Show.
14:06Any particular ones that spring to mind?
14:08Well, it's always the things which don't go quite as you're planning, which are the ones that stay in the memory.
14:13So, we did a film about posh chips.
14:17So, instead of your normal potato chips, thinking of things with truffle on them or parmesan and truffle oil and cooked in duck fat.
14:25And in the way of a One Show film, we were in a chippy testing our chips on the customers.
14:30And I went up to a lady of senior years and I said, would you like to try my polenta chips?
14:36And she went, that's disgusting.
14:38And I said, what was disgusting?
14:39She said, chips made from afterbirth.
14:42Now, it turned out...
14:43Oh, no!
14:43Oh, no!
14:45That she thought I'd said I was offering her chips made of placenta, which may be to some people's taste, but not necessarily mine or hers.
14:53And it's...
14:54I said, no, it's made from cornmeal.
14:56Polenta, which is...
14:58And how did she cope with all that?
14:59Well, then she tried the polenta chips and thought they were lovely.
15:02Although, I have to say, I mean, you know, we're all aware.
15:05You can get lots of different types of chips.
15:07Yeah, sure.
15:08Alternatives.
15:08None of them are as good as potatoes.
15:10Brilliant.
15:10Thank you very much, Jay.
15:12Very good.
15:14Very good.

19:53So, Birkin.
19:54I did eight add three.
19:56Eight plus three, eleven.
19:58Times ten.
19:59One hundred and ten.
20:01And add ten.
20:02And the other ten.
20:03And then 75 divided by 25 is three.
20:07Yep.
20:07And added that one for one, two, three.
20:10One, two, three, yeah.
20:11Well done.
20:12And David?
20:1325 plus 75.
20:15One hundred.
20:16Plus ten, plus ten, plus three.
20:17Yep.
20:18One, eight.
20:19There we are.
20:20I've got to have my moment here.
20:22Yes?
20:23Go, Jay.
20:25Ten times ten.
20:26Yes, it's 100.
20:2725 minus three.
20:29And everyone's kicking themselves.
20:30You're supposed to make it a little more difficult.
20:34Well done.
20:37Well done.
20:38We should give you points on that.
20:39I'll take them.
20:40All right.
20:4147 plays 46.
20:43David on 46.
20:44As we turn to our second and last tea time teaser, which is Girl Tries.
20:48And the clue, the girl tries a mouthful of meat, but it's much harder to swallow than last time.
20:54The girl tries a mouthful of meat, but it's much harder to swallow than last time.
20:59The girl tries a mouthful of meat, but it's much harder to swallow than last time.
21:22Because it's gristlier.
21:25Well, gristle.
21:26Gristlier.
21:27So there we are.
21:2947 to 46, as I say.
21:30Birkham, one point in the lead.
21:32And it's David's letters game.
21:34David.

22:53Washing and Birkin?
22:54Shaking.
22:56Shaking.
22:56What were you tempted to?
22:58Unwashing.
23:00Unwashed would be in there, but not unwashing.
23:03So you made the right decision there, Birkin.
23:05And Jay?
23:07Another seven.
23:08Describing Birkin's situation.
23:09Anguish.
23:10And husking for the removal of husks.
23:14Husking.
23:14All right.
23:15Both sevens.
23:16Yeah.
23:16Very good.

24:33Birkin.
24:36Seven.
24:36David?
24:37Seven.
24:38Birkin?
24:39Motives.
24:40And David?
24:42Moister.
24:43Happy with that, Susie?
24:45Very unhappy with that, but it's a perfectly legitimate word, so that's fine.
24:49And Jay?
24:50Another seven is removes, but we can go one for eight, which is overtime.
24:55Overtime, well done, yeah.
24:57Solid stuff.
24:58Overtime indeed.
24:59Still that tantalising one point lead for Birkin.
25:02And then, as we turn to Susie for her origins of words.
25:06Susie?
25:07Well, I'm doing a bit of work on the history of swearing at the moment, which is a fascinating subject.
25:13And not all swear words are Anglo-Saxon, as we would believe.
25:17But often we call swear words expletives, and that's the one I'm going to talk about today, at least to start off with.
25:24The word originally meant something perfectly innocent, had nothing to do with bad language, as we would say today.
25:30An expletive word was simply one that was used to fill up a line of verse, and so to complete its meter.
25:38It added nothing to the meeting, but it was there so that the line would scan in some poetry.
25:44And the word comes from the Latin expletivus, which is from explere, meaning to fill out.
25:50Back to expletive, and it wasn't until the 1800s that the word came to mean something more offensive.
25:57And, of course, famously, the two word expression expletive deletes gained a high profile in the 1970s.
26:05That was in the submission of recorded conversations involving President Nixon, of course, to the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives.
26:13And at the behest of President Nixon, all the rude words were taken out, simply put, expletive deleted.
26:20So if an expletive is a profanity, and that word comes from the Latin profanum, meaning outside the temple, in other words, not sacred.
26:28How did swearing turn from the word swearing, turn from being an oath made in allegiance to a king, a monarch, or to a lady, you know, a lady by a knight, for example?
26:38How did that come to encompass the use of bad language?
26:42Why do we talk about swear words today?
26:44Well, in the middle of the 15th century, it began to encompass the idea of taking the Lord's name in vain, or of being profane.
26:52In other words, to swearing an oath likely, irreverently, and not with a solemnity that it deserved.
26:58And from there, it was just a quick step to the idea of particular words that were designed to offend, or simply to let off steam.
27:06Brilliant. Thank you so much.
27:12So you don't get any neater than that, do you there, Jay? That was superb. Yeah, wonderful.
27:1661 plays 60, and David, it's the penultimate letters game for you.
27:22A consonance again, please.
27:24Thank you, David.
27:25T.
27:26And another one?
27:29R.
27:29Oh, yeah, and another one?
27:32D.
27:33And another one?

27:37That's right, consonant again.

28:44We have a seven.
28:45Well done.
28:46Refuted.
28:47Refuted.
28:48Excellent.
28:49To refute something, to...
28:51Yes.
28:52Push it away.
28:53Push it away.
28:54To argue against it.
28:55Yeah.
28:56Refute.
28:57Well done.
28:57Thank you, Jay.
28:58And 67 to 66.
29:01Still that wretched point as we go into the final letters game.

30:14Burkhan.
30:17Six, but it's not written down.
30:19How about David?
30:20I'm going to risk an eight.
30:23Burkhan?
30:24Radial.
30:25Radial.
30:26How big a risk is this, David?
30:28Quite a risk.
30:29Go on.
30:29Paraloid.
30:31How are you spelling it?
30:33P-A-E-R-A-L-O-I-D.
30:35L-O-I-D.
30:36Paraloid.
30:39It's not there, I'm afraid.
30:40It was a risk.
30:41Sorry.
30:42Yeah, paranoid obviously there, but not paranoid.
30:44Bad luck.
30:45Bad luck indeed.
30:46So 66 now to Burkhan, 73.
30:50What are the corner?
30:51Jay?
30:52We have dipolar for seven.
30:54It has various means, but from physics it's a pair of equal and oppositely charged or magnetised poles.
31:01Very good.
31:01Very good.
31:02Susie, anything else?
31:03No, that was our best there for seven.
31:05That'll do.
31:06Tricky one.
31:06So, final numbers game with the score standing at Burkhan, 73.
31:11David on 66.
31:12So, still all to play for.
31:14David?
31:15I'll go for six more, please.
31:17Gambling time.
31:18Thank you, David.
31:18See how well that pays off.
31:19Hopefully, we will have a crucial conundrum.
31:22Six more ones to finish are ten.
31:24Eight.
31:26One.
31:27Nine.
31:28Another ten.
31:29And seven.
31:30Could be tricky.
31:32Target 123.
31:33One, two, three.
31:34One, two, three.
32:04David?
32:06One, two, three.
32:08Yes, Burkhan?
32:08One, two, three.
32:10David?
32:11Ten times ten.
32:12Didn't miss it this time.
32:13Ten times ten, one hundred.
32:14Plus the rest of them.
32:16Plus seven, plus eight, plus nine, minus one.
32:18There you go.
32:19Yeah.
32:19Have me worried for a second.
32:22And Burkhan?
32:24The same way.
32:24Same way.
32:25We're happy.
32:27Well done.
32:28So we are going to have a crucial conundrum after all.
32:36Fingers on buzzers, please.
32:38Well done.
32:39That's a very gentlemanly thing.
32:40Well done.
32:41Fingers on buzzers.

32:53Let's see whether you're right.
32:55Clergyman?

33:07You played a brave, good, solid, pretty much, you know, up there game.
33:12I gave him a run.
33:14Fantastic.
33:14Thank you for coming.

33:43I know it's been a lot of fun.
33:45Well, I hope you'll come again.

33:54Actually, I'm constantly out there.
33:56People search online.
33:57They'll find details wherever they are.
33:59All right.
34:00And we shall see Susie tomorrow, of course.
