Oh. Like, I was telling someone the other day about it at work, and they said, that's, like, big. I mean, it's not in the grand scheme of things, but when you think of being on that stage at that place, there's a lot of people who have been there. Yeah, it's mad. It's amazing.

I've got the first cut of it for you to watch. Oh God, I don't know how I'm going to feel about that Yeah You watched it Bits and pieces And? Quite long, isn't it? And?

Brilliant. Really? Yeah, you and Tony are brilliant Watching it back, you feel like that, yeah Yeah I think it's the first one Yeah I think we could have

The microphone with the audience Because you can't hear what people Are saying in the audience Yeah, it's difficult Yeah, even I found it hard Didn't you, some people Yeah, couldn't really hear them But again, these are work in progress shows

so you're learning all the time. Yeah. So I feel like either other mics have got to be out and people have got to be running up to people so we can hear them or you read stuff out and you're not talking to them we're just discussing. Yeah.

Yeah, it's really interesting. It's a funny one though, isn't it? Because we are very interactive. Yes. We're just naturally like that. But people get shy in the audience. You forget, don't you? And then I try and think if it was me in the, like at the book launch,

obviously I was heckling you, but it's me. I know you. you. Of course. But if I was a stranger, like if I didn't know that person and I was going to see someone, I probably wouldn't say much. Or you get a bit nervous to ask a question. Yeah, I agree. It could be a bit overwhelming, can't it sometimes? Yeah, I think so. And we've got some good questions prior and people wrote them down. So that's a really good thing to do. Emma's busy printing off more slips for us. Do some questions and people and people.

And people can have their pens and paper before the show, which is really good. I really like that. Yeah, it was good. Met some nice people. We did. Lovely Brian. and you loved Brian I really loved him hopefully you'll book for another one yeah I said that to him but bless him he's yeah I guess he frequents that place doesn't he

yeah and the thing is he doesn't live around the corner to the place but he's made a decision in his life that he's on his own but he wants to have a life which I just think so special yeah he was saying he's got a friend that he tries to bring

you know get him on board to go to some shows but he's friends into other things and yeah they try and do a bit together but yeah it was cute it's really good I'm just interested oh my god here she goes

sorry Elia's not here I'm making up for her Els Bells isn't here tonight she's very snowed under at home got a lot going on might give her a tinkle but she'd probably put in James to bed now but yeah

needs must busy busy weeks are coming up I don't want you to ever not have a pod on a Monday or Thursday so stuck with us too stuck with us pair Could be worse

Could be worse But I've bitten all my nails off So that's nice What a shame though That's a real shame Because when you text that yesterday I know I've done that before

Where your nails come off And they look okay Why do we bite them? I don't know They're hurting Yeah And my face hurts I don't think it is that

You don't think it is I don't know How long do you have to wait I would imagine quite a while I've had some lovely messages, thanks guys, some advice on where to go and what to have because I can't bowl about like this, it's a disgrace. A lot of people have said they're a hema-free, didn't they? Yeah, hema-free ones.

Stick on ones from boots, Eliza was saying, really. I can't be in public like this. It's outrageous. It's really bad. They looked alright on Saturday night. I really. Can you tell how bad now? Yeah.

Oh, fuck. But it's okay, everyone. I got my next dermatology appointment through June 2026. Oh, good. All the best. Oh, excellent. That's brilliant. Isn't it mad, the way in time?

Yeah, I mean. I mean, that's not even that bad when you think about it. No? Some people are two, three years for things. Yeah, no, it's true. That it's true. What a shambles. I've must, let's just do this message first and foremost.

we've got a lot to get through. It's an anonymous message. Hi, Nat, I hope you're having a lovely weekend. I'd really appreciate yours and your niece's opinion on something that's doing my head in. My partner's son is getting married next year. The venue is a hotel and his fiancé has requested that nobody is to book to stay at the hotel. She insists that everybody, close family included, book at other hotels, nearest of which is a few miles away.

The reason given was she doesn't want the risk of any family issues No history of this that I'm aware of We're already driving several hours to the location And we'll now have to arrange taxes before and after the wedding Even the grandmother who has dementia Is this a thing or is it a classic example of Bridezilla Yeah, I mean I'm not sure about that So she wants some impartial, I mean she's making her grandmother

Yeah, I don't get it I guess I would ask how big is the hotel? How many people can it fit? I remember for me, I tried to find a venue with as many rooms. I didn't do a hotel. It was like a stately, what would you call it? Well, it was a private home.

Private home, manor house type thing. And then obviously when you're limited on rooms, you can't, that is a bit stressful because you can't get everyone in, but you have to prioritise an immediate family, bridal party. But then I found a hotel as close as possible. where we actually stayed with our guests the night before and did drinks

and I arranged coaches. I'm not saying you've got to do all that. That is we go above the top. Well, no, it's just... No, above and beyond. Maybe it is, but for me, so yeah, you're conscious that people have driven all that way. You want to try and make it as easy as possible. So, yeah, I find it weird that you wouldn't want everyone and I would want to be with everyone.

So why wouldn't they want to be with all their family or guests? opinion to me that is she wants the husband to herself in the evening and doesn't want to have loads of people there but then why you're not all having breakfast like what's yeah you going back there in the morning to have breakfast i don't think she'd want that from the tone of that message yeah it's really hard to gauge without understanding the hotel and how many rooms because i get it if it's maybe like a little boutique hotel and there's only certain amount of rooms does she feel like people are going to get offended who are not staying there. Yeah, so there's eight rooms.

Yeah, so maybe she thinks, you know what if everyone just stays in the same place and there's no arguments. Yeah, in hierarchy, do you know what I mean? So I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. But ultimately, even if there was a handful of rooms, I would want my nearest and dearest there. Yeah, I agree. So I do, yeah, I would be a bit peed off and put forward with you.

Yeah, I get it. Yeah, I get it as well. And especially if you've got elderly people that it's easy for the, to be in one place. It's just funny though because, again, I don't know, right? And sometimes this is not the best way to be, but when you put everyone before yourself. Yes, that's true.

I feel like I'm like that. Yeah. I'm trying to be less like that, not in a negative way, but I think you have got to put yourself first. So I don't know, maybe they're thinking it's our day and, yeah, we want to be us. We don't want everybody there. Yeah, everyone drunk.

We just want to have a nice drink with everybody, but then have our time, go back to the room. Maybe, maybe. Yeah, a bit weird, but yeah. Each to their own. If you've got any more context, do send it. Yeah, we'd love to know. Yeah, I'd like to know.

Yeah, I think these weddings are so stressful and they do, unfortunately, cause conflict no matter how much of a happy time it is, but you've just got to try and let things go over your head and not take things too personally because, yeah, it's intense. It's a lot, isn't it? That's why I've not done it.

Every time I think about it, I'll start writing a list or something and think, I'll leave that. Yeah. And I think, unfortunately, it can be other people that end up making it a lot and a lot of pressure and all the expectations. Yeah.

Yeah, it's hard. I said it to Mark after his party, actually, because even that was lovely. Yeah. We had a lovely time. Mark and I did a pod last night, so we've touched on that last week. Yeah, thank you.

It was a lovely evening. It was lovely, wasn't it? but even that I said genuinely if we get married I think it should just be absolute immediate family in a nice hotel somewhere I think as well like with us obviously it was lovely he had all his friends and what have you

but if you took them away I know maybe I'm saying the selfishly for me because of who I interacted to on that evening spoke to a few people but even us dancing and stuff if you took them away at the equation we would still have an amazing time that's right and I think that's what it's a yeah

that's interesting, isn't it? So, yeah, if you did want to do something really small. Really small. It made me realise that that would be a really nice time. It wouldn't feel. And the dynamics and the relationships, it just works, doesn't it? We all have fun. We're all on the same page and the same level.

Everyone was on top form, weren't they? Yeah, your brother was on top form. Yeah, he was. Don was on top form. It was funny. It was funny. It was very good. Very nice evening.

Played for it yesterday, though. Did he? No, I did. Oh, you did? Yeah, I did. I didn't, I wasn't too bad Do you know what, we didn't have a late night It's the sleep

It makes such a difference It does And we gained an hour I know I still woke up earlier than I would have liked Yeah we were texting at 8 o'clock Yeah I thought what are you doing up

Yeah But yeah I did have a very lazy day Oh that's nice Yeah I need it It was really nice You look rested actually Do I? Yeah you do

You look really well Thanks I've had to put some makeup on Fucking film Well I couldn't Could I Because I've only got to Treatment

Have I It's very strange I just don't like laying down for an hour I'm thinking of 100 things I need to do Well I had to have a numbing cream on my face And then it was probably about an hour after that So two hours in total Oh wow yeah

It's quite time consuming Isn't it all the beauty lark But again this is us It's mad like that's why I hate to get my lashes done It's not like I could sit on my phone I was literally laying there with my eyes closed I hate it I don't mind if I can like when I'm getting my hair done

At least I can be on my phone, sorting stuff out. That's here, emails, doing things. This is the problem. We don't switch off. That's why I like the reformer. My phone's just me concentrating on doing something. Yeah, it's good. And even reading a book, it's hard with this freaking phone.

I know. And there's 101 things to do. But, go on. The merch. The merch is out. We got it. Well done, you. And you.

Team effort, but yeah. Yeah, it's very, very good. Thank you, everybody for sending me what you're getting. and what you're not. Also, a few mistakes were made. We forgot the apostrophe. I know, but that's, that's, everyone who's ordered it will get the correct item. They are getting the correct item.

It's all printed on demand. On demand. So, um, there's no mistakes. That was just a sample, which. But thank you very much. Yeah, well done. That's very, very good. No, it's crazy when you can look at things for such a long time and it passes you by.

Oh, yeah. But I think it is where you're looking at it a lot. Of course. And we were shooting it and we were trying to everything. We're rushing, everything. of the problem. It's true. But it'll be fine. But yeah, we've had some really good feedback. So we've put some more bits into work. Any other ideas, feedback? Send it in. Yeah. And once you've got them as well, you know, what you think of a product. Oh, it's exciting.

Really good. Yeah, really pleased. It's gone well. We've had loads of orders. So thank you so much. That's really, really good. Brilliant. Brilliant. And we've got a candle coming soon. Just so you all know. Oh, God. That reminds me. I've got a text Sarah back. Yeah. I'll sort that. But they're limited. Very limited. So if you want one, you've got to be quick, but we'll give you the... We're going to have a sort of set date, aren't we? Like a pre-order thing, because she's only on her own. She's independent.

She can only do a certain amount. And they smell amazing. They are amazing. So if you can afford one and you were going to buy yourself a candle, I would recommend it. We'd get a photo up soon. Yeah, yeah. She's going to send me one. She's waiting for the labels.

Yeah, so we're always going to be thinking of new bits and pieces. And no, it's good. Really good. What about this message? I don't know who it's from. but it says I'm blaming this on Roro went to buy the amazing cheese couldn't find it but ended up walking out with ease

I don't even shop in Tesco there's three Tesco finance she's got she's gone in there and What not my flavour Not your flavour but Baltimore anyway What have we got? Oh no she has got it

vintage cheddar mozzarella and Teresa bake Oh right But she's also picked up the red less stuff With the garlic Good girl And I've had that The cheddar and the saveno en blanc That's lovely that one.

I haven't had the Red Lester one. I do just go for the old vintage cheddar. I mean, guys... Do have to say, I'm really sorry. You don't like it? I haven't had it. I haven't had it. Oh.

But there's a cam and bear with a Teresa cramming marxies that looks absolutely divine. Yeah, we'll try it. I've had so many been sent to me. Have you? Liddles, Audi. Yeah. And I know the Audi one is cheaper, but it is in a plastic pot.

And you love the pot, don't you? I like the pot. I mean, I've got... It's for her tapas night she's doing. I don't need any more to be fair. But, yeah, someone sent me another lovely Marxist one. But, I mean, Tesco, I feel like we should get some commission here because sales must be going through the road.

Very good, very good. I know. It was like, I've been influenced. Oh, that's very fun. I'm actually going to have mine tonight. Oh, you? Brilliant. What did you send about Cabriss?

It's big news, guys. It's huge. Cadbury is replacing the Ecclars with flakes in their hero's tubs. It's a fantastic move. But really? Who eats the Eclare? But they've got a twirl. Isn't it the same thing?

No. Why? Because a twirl is encased in a chocolate. Very similar. They are quite similar. No, don't like an Eclare? No, I don't. No, unless it's fresh with cream.

Yeah, true. I mean, fudge. Why is that still there? I don't mind a fudge. I had a really good business idea. If I say it though and they now do it, can I do them? No. All right.

Shall I say it? Yeah. So, you know you've got celebrations? Yep. I thought they should do a box called commiserations. Fuck me I'm just going to get Richard Branson on the face It's unbelievable

Don't you feel that's clever I don't quite like it Just say you split up with your boyfriend Or someone dies You know what do you give people Commiserations You can bring them a box of commiserations I quite like it

Should have saved it Yeah But how would I do it myself They did it with Quality Street didn't they you could personalise them. I remember even James getting Charlie Street. Oh, yeah, that's cute. For granddad.

Yeah. So they kind of went down that. But I think the celebration and commiseration is very good. Yeah, me too. Call me. Who are they? Who is that? Who is that?

Don't know. Not sure. All right. Well, anyway, chocolate factory. Give me a call. Graham Norton had, what's her face on? Oh, Kim, Kim Kay After we were talking about the songs with the hair on

Did you see it? No Oh, I haven't either I've been mean to catch up on it Elia said it was good She came across very well Did she? But yeah, apparently yeah, they sold out

I'm not too sure And Elia said she was saying Because she once did a shoot Oh yes And they wanted her to have hair But what do you mean She once did a shoot A fashion shoot I suppose

What with a vagina out I didn't watch the interview I'll have to have a look Interesting Sold out in 15 minutes Yeah it's crazy I'd love tonight If anyone bought one

Please tell me why Why Who's bought them I'm not sure I bet it's just fans Isn't it People that just collect stuff Do you think so?

Yeah maybe No probably didn't make any Many Any She's got about 50 million Instagram followers though Isn't she

So it's easy to sell out of something isn't it? Crazy. We had a lovely message. Congratulations on the wonderful merch launch. Can I put in a request? Can we have a Nats and Nese's T-shirt with, do you know what I mean?

Is that right? What's wrong with me? No, what do you mean? I'm reading it wrong. Oh, just weaked out, sorry. I was like, do you know what I mean? It's the Doresis album. Can we have a Nats and Nese's T-shirt

with what do you mean on it? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? We certainly get. We are. We're going to do it. Incoming.

Absolutely. I love that. That's being asked for. We did actually have that originally, but we weren't too keen on the design. We just, yeah, and it sort of fell by the waist side. Yeah, yeah. It's always been there. It's coming, though.

It's coming. It has always been there. There's a little message. Have a listen to this. Afternoon, Nat, I'm determined to smash a voice note without going back and listening to it and deleting it. It's from a past message you can probably see that's what I do. see i'm going already with the um but anyway i think you and your family a food is like me and also we're all loving the traitors watching it loving it i want to know what they're all

getting for every meal the snippet to see on the show look amazing the breakfast i want it just the camera to go along i want to know what all the choices are when they mentioned poached eggs yesterday i didn't see the poach decks but well, I'd love to in the sweets in the middle of that kitchen with all them snacks or I'd be in the haven

but most importantly the alcohol the little bottles is that a thing do you think so they don't drink too much but then they seem

to have as many little bottles in there as they want I'm not judging I'd be well in there I'd love a spin-off where they go behind the scenes and show you all the things like that

but most importantly I'd love a week they're all-inclusive anyway have a good point weekend. See you soon. Well, not see you soon, but speak to you soon. Bye. Claire. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. It's true. It is true. The buffet looks so good in the morning. You can just see them and they've got a bit of cheese or a cross-on, but I'm the same. I want to see the table. What's on it? Yeah, I bet they've got like some wonderful chefs that are

smashing out that grub. Do you reckon? Yeah. And I was surprised about the drink situation. I mean, I'm more for it. Absolutely. I hate it when they go, you're not allowed to drink on shows and stuff but if I had a couple of glasses of rosé I'm telling you I'm a traitor you would and all oh 100% I'll be like get all drunk and I'll be like it's me don't tell anyone but that's what I would do so I wouldn't be able to drink because Alan's like knocking them back and I'm thinking you're going to slip up yeah or like I'd get a bit fuzzy and sometimes I could have yeah two glasses of wine and not remember things so it is interesting that Alan is genius isn't he isn't he He's so brilliant.

Even when he, like, he's joking but trying to be like, I'm going to come after it, but it's just the way he says it. It's just brilliant. Have you seen his sitcom? No. Changing Ends. It's on ITV2 or ITVX. I highly recommend it.

He's written it. It's all about his life from a little boy. Okay. And he's got a little boy playing him that he's a miniature old and car. It's really, really heartwarming, all through the 80s, what he went through. It's really good. And he pops up in it, doing like narrating and stuff. It's really clever.

Okay. I've family enjoyed it. Yeah, very good. I recommend it to anyone who is watching traitors and you love Alan and you haven't seen it, changing ends. It really, really heartfelt. Is that like old or? Yeah, quite old, but I think they're doing another series possibly.

Okay. But it's really good. Very good. But it's an autobiographical sitcom, like a comedy drama. Oh, it's brilliant. Talking of autobiographical. Yeah. Lily Allen's new album.

Oh, right. is it good sensational is it mm-hmm oh I should you're gonna love it you're gonna love it

am I it's amazing yeah like even it's just nice for someone from like

I don't know she's come back yes obviously yeah it's about her life and what's happened so it's quite you know

some of it is yeah very revealing but even just the music really songs she's done an amazing job I've always loved her

yeah love it always loved it I'm like we'll have to go see her now. Oh yeah. 100%. Surely we can try and get in touch with Lily. I remember being at the V festival. Gosh, how old would I have been?

I don't know, 19 maybe. And I went with my friend and her dad worked for a newspaper and got us VIP tickets. And Alan Carl, he was with Alan Carr in the VIP. He was funny, like it interacted, lovely. That's such a really funny. And then queuing up in the toilets and then Lily comes out in a big dress

Oh, with her trainers yeah she was cute yeah no it's really good you'll love it

oh my job and to be fair Polly message and girls what do you think of the Lily Allen album if you haven't

heard it it's a must listen to this week I haven't listened to an album in years last one was probably in

2019 Ed Shearing I find a podcast much better now but I heard a big commotion about Lily Allen

and I've got to say every song is so well written I've listened to the album at least a hundred times already it really tells the story.

I've wondered, is it too much as he has a lot of embarrassment to face with work, colleagues, family, etc., but nah, I think you lose any enticlement to privacy when you gaslight cheat on lie to and disrespect your wife or partner. I have one question, though,

who's Madeline? So I replied saying, Holly, I love this message. I have just put it on and when I tell you I'm hooked, my God, this album was so needed. I said, I'm guessing Madeline is like Becky with the good hair.

Do you get that reference? difference? Becky with a good hair, no. Beyonce, do you remember when she did her album about Jay-Z? Oh, okay. And it was Becky with a good hair. Right, okay. So we think that that's the lady. Yeah, whether that's her real name or she's just using that as her name. But yeah, no, fantastic.

Really good. I should whack it on in the car, ASAP. At Desjardin, we speak business.

Sorry, have you posted this plant? Because this is out of control. Have you chopped it yet? I can feel bad. How can I chop it? It's fine. She could be a trim. I'm going to cut that. You trim roses in the garden. If it was in the garden and you had a, you know, you would go out there.

I just feel like if I put the scissors to it, I'm going to be here like a... Do you what I mean? Like I'm cutting a live thing. No. So you would cut that? Yes, I definitely am going to trim it down. Cut the leaves or the big leaves You're going to cut them off

A few of them Because you've got to generate energy also I feel like if you cut a few stems off But it's like literally one, two stems I know that is true You've got to post that up though Yeah I will I wasn't it to do it earlier But I've run out of time

Like the little shop of horrors in Rowe's Bog It's quite hilarious Oh how about Nicola Who we met the other night Lovely Nicola as well as Brian that beautifully dressed lady in the front row. Yes, really lovely lady. And she said, great to meet you tonight.

From where I was standing, it went brilliantly, very relaxed and authentic, and it just flowed beautifully, just like the pod. Oh, yeah, but she sent us a message as well. Yeah, that's from you. Oh, right, sorry, yeah, thank you. No, that's lovely, really nice. Yeah, and Tony was great.

He really enjoyed himself as well. Yeah, yeah, he was in his element. It's a good storyteller, uncle. I'm not. I go to tell a story and it just doesn't come out right. I think you'll be surprised. when you look back at the old material. Can I just say, because I'm telling you that there is material,

I'm not releasing this as a full live pod, you know, to watch at the moment. But hopefully we can put a little few clips out so you can see what it was like because we do want to share a bit, you know, with you when you haven't seen it. A little snippets. Absolutely. Absolutely. Oh, I know what I want to say. What? I've got a bit of a moan.

Oh, no. A rant. A little rant. Got on him. When you go to a hotel and there is an hour and a half of kids swimming time. Oh, yes. Which was half past three until five o'clock.

Why do couples moan and groan and huff at my children when in the pool? Did they? But it's an hour and a half. Why are you coming in those hours? It's fucking annoying though, isn't it, if you're going to anything? to relax and his kids around. Yeah, but there's an hour and a half, which is children's time. No, I know, but what do you do if you're there?

Go at any other time. I know, but you say that, but what time is it? Half three till five. Yeah, but that is like the day. If you're going for dinner. Yeah, I suppose if you... But then you could have a, yeah. You can have lunch and dinner.

I know what if you've checked in at three. Yeah. You want to go to the pool for a bit. Do you what I mean? I mean, no, it's not the kids fall. At the end of the day, that's the times. They are the times. But, yeah, you can't huff and puff.

But I do get also, that is a bit aggravating. Also, my children aren't tiny, splashing around. I mean, I might experience this on Thursday. But you know what I mean? But they weren't little. Yeah. Eliza's having a kip on the lounger and just got him a couple of times. And Joni obviously was sort of talking to us.

But what people were literally happy? There were only four people in there. It's a very exclusive. Yeah. I mean, that's the other thing. Maybe they thought it's quite an exclusive place. and there's a nine-year-old splashing about. On a Friday?

Friday afternoon. Yeah, while they're not at school. Yeah, there we go, so they're probably thinking... Maybe. But still, yeah, it's a bit rude. I just think it's... Well, they obviously doing it then? Yes.

Really not. Yeah. Looking at each other. They were doing breast straight. They were quite old. Oh. Looking at each other. I thought I'm going to say something in the minute.

Did you not? No. No. Oh, so awkward. But it was a bit awkward. And I don't want to keep going, Johnny, don't do this, don't do that. Because she is allowed to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The whole point we brought her is because she could use the pool for an hour. No, ultimately, it's exactly, it's children's hours. There could be families in there with babies who would be causing a lot more aggravation. But also, I do find people's patience with children. Oh, they've got zero tolerance. Be it in a shop, be it in a restaurant. Bearing in mind they were all that age once upon time. Or had their own children.

I feel it's very, it's quite mind-blowing really. Yeah, there's no tolerance. I'm sure people are tolerant. Not none at all, but in my experience, even when the kids were two, four, you know, or like your age children now, Alfie and Ruby's age, I just remember always panicking wherever I was. It was like, oh, really.

I've got to get out of here. Don't do that. Don't be loud, don't. I mean, it's not even just for children. I go out of my friends and some. of them laugh so loud that we've had complaints before? No, you haven't. Yeah, we have. We've had

wait, like, yeah, staff come up to us in a restaurant and said that couple of all those people have said, could you keep the noise down, you're too loud all the time? So much so that we do say we're quite loud when we book if you have a private room, just stick us in there. Why? Because you're having

a laugh? Yeah. Are these restaurants, posh restaurants, quiet? no some are one was quite quiet but we're a big table it's a big group of people but yeah that blows my mind it's a bit of a we try and go to noisy places now we say to stick us in the corner out the way because we're very loud at least you're having a good time oh I know if they were having a good time they wouldn't have the you know audacity to play it is hard though is it if you are in somewhere that is a bit quieter yeah but you're out you're paying

for your meal. Yeah. You're with company. Yeah. See, stuff like that doesn't bother me. If I was having a quiet meal with just one person, there was a group of people. I would be thinking, good for you.

Yeah. Wish I was getting over there and involved. Yeah, it's funny, isn't it? Very, very funny. Very funny. I wonder if there was this about? Probably not. So I'm obsessive at the moment.

Go on. Avocado on salado. Oh, I went for a large face. It's the best. Is that okay? To eat an avocado a day? It's meant to be extremely good for your... Is it?

It's all fat, eh? Yeah. Amiga freeze, oils for your skin. Yeah. Oh, it's lovely. Mash it up. Chili? Salt pepper.

I haven't done the chili, no. I would, I would, but I've just, yeah, lemon, salt pepper on a bit of sourdough. The lip banging. Really good. Can't beat it. No, it's really good. Easy, quick. Fills you up.

I've done spaghetti and meatballs tonight. but I haven't had it on for long enough and the lid was on, so they feel a bit... What, have you made the meatballs? No. I think I could make quite nice meatballs now. I've never, it was just the sight, I've never seen meatballs like you're the size of your head.

They were like boulders, wouldn't they? It's like the flintstones had been around. Why are they so big? I've no idea. I'm sure it was a recipe. If you cook them in the oven? Oh. They were not good.

They weren't good. As your brother likes to. Oh, dear. Remind me. That is funny. Oh, dear. Another thing I keep noticing at the moment, I feel like we have spoken about this.

Go on. And I've noticed it on a few podcasts and on some programs that I've watched. Why do people say nothing, everything? Because. that's where they're from oh is that a thing yeah they're not saying it right oh yeah it's not right

no I know it's not right but I'm just wondering it's very common I hear it a lot and it really aggravates me but what are you watching stuff you don't want to say yeah I think do you don't say that do you

I think I have been known to say it really nothing Maybe not now Because of the children Yeah And I feel like you do try Everything, nothing Everything

You say that I'm not saying I say it all the time But I guarantee you If you were to go through these pods I've said every Here comes a mega mix from Naomi With me going nothing Everything

Nothing Yeah no maybe you're right I didn't think of that Like the London It's a London thing I've just I don't know why I feel like I really

At the moment, I keep hearing it. Yeah, it's really jar. Yeah, exactly that. I'm really sensitized to it. I'm thinking, why are people doing that? Everything. Yeah, anyway. It's a thing. A London thing.

It's a think. It's a thinker. It's a London thing. Oh, God. Oh, it's so solemn when there's two of us. It's not, I don't think it's, it's, it's just a completely different vibe when there's two people. But it's nice to have a little chill.

It is nice. This is coming out on a Monday. We're always on Monday at the moment. I want my Thursday slot back. Yeah, no, the Thursday slot is good. It is just working it out like that. It is funny when else is not here. It is a completely different dynamic.

Come back else. We've got a nice message here. Go on. Hi, Natalie. Hope you're well and had a wonderful weekend celebrating Mark's 40th birthday. I just wanted to come on and say it was such a pleasure to meet you at the webbook signing. You really are so welcoming and friendly and put everyone at ease.

I had the pleasure of meeting Auntie Linney and Maria too. You are blessed with a beautiful family. They were both so lovely. You have a wonderful knack of making your listeners feel like part of your family. I've only met you once, but I feel like I've known you forever. I believe that you make us all feel that way. Tony's statement was spot on about what are you doing being special. I also think you need to be on the stage.

doing comedy you have a real talent for comedic timing and engaging with the audience i hope your live shows give you the platform to explore this as i think it could be your calling you're a natural at it lastly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and he spat my coffee out when eliza said that charlotte church had cracking knockers helen oh that's lovely thanks helen when did eliza say that talking about the traitors then she popped in for a little chat on our pod Cracking knockers. Cracking knockers, she sure has. Hi, Nat, just listening to today's episode with your nieces

and you're talking about listening to podcasts. Honestly, you all keep me company on my drive to work, on the train to work, and today I am making my mum a 70th birthday cake. It's in progress, but you're keeping me company. As a birthday gift, I'm bringing my mum to your show. I cannot wait. Also, are we all going Christmas-feemed outfits? It is December.

lull. Yay. It's a great question. Bring the sparkles. I think lots of sparkles. Festive. For nice and festive. Or you can get the t-shirt, Christmas t-shirt,

because I've done a Clapham special t-shirt. Yeah, a few of those have been ordered, so that's excellent news. Yeah, lovely, sparkles, tartan, red velvet, whatever. Tartan? It's very Christmas, isn't it, tartan? If you're in Scotland. No, I always feel like it comes out. a little bit at Christmas. You see it around.

In River Island. You've just made me buy a tart and skirt. That's what I thought it was for, for Christmas. No. No? Well, whenever. Whatever you want, really. I was trying to find a bloody message that I can't find. I'm rubbish. You're not rubbish at all.

Sarah, Sarah Jane, a unicorn rubber ring Christmas Bulbul, someone at Selfridge has been listening to the pod. I know. She's in there, she sent me it. I love it. I need it. It is so cute. Brilliant. Very good. We'll have to get one of those. You know what's better than the one big thing? Two big things.

And now, now you can't do that. And BAFTA award winner Lenny James. You're about to have a plague of outsiders descend on your town.

Let me tell you this. It's going to be consequent. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it.

I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bel Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. Bel Air Direct, insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. Claire Elliott.

Yeah, what's she say? This happened, collecting my own now. Oh, my God, it's delicious. She's bought the old cheese thing. Sorry, Claire. Did you not have a message from her? Yeah, I've got a little voice note. Right, Ro Roe.

That turmeric, Kanish shot that I sent to Nat is £6 for six shots or seven shots. It's seven shots. The bigger bottles are more cost-effective than the smaller bottles. And I think you get seven shots in there. So it's one shot a day, that's 60 meal. And I agree with what you're saying about making it for.

fresh, but I cannot get fresh fruit. Oh, shocker. Oh, we've had an absolute shocker. What happened there? It was like a cliffhanger as well. Oh, so, oh. Root turmeric anyway. I can't get any fresh root tumouric.

So I do make other stuff fresh, like juices and stuff. But those shots, I can't get the ingredients to make them fresh, so that's the best thing. And there's not much stuff, like preservatives and stuff. preservatives and stuff, it's probably the best I've come across in terms of ingredients, the Welsh brand. Anyway, I'm just listening to the pod. So I'm out of breath, and over the park. Speak you soon.

Oh, I love you, Claire. Thank you. Yeah, I'm going to get on that, I promise you. That's actually good value for money. It is. You don't need to make your own when it's seven. Under a pound for a shop. That's really, really good.

And I don't think even if you were doing it fresh, you could do it for that. Possibly you could. But to avoid the aggrove of making it also, I think it's worth 8590p. Yes, it's time, isn't it? It's quite good. It is good. It's time.

It's coming into a very busy period now, guys. I don't know how you're all feeling. Yeah. And I'm at this, I'm annoyed with myself. Why? Because I was getting myself really organised with buying, like, what I wanted to get people. Yeah, you seem to really organized.

So I thought as soon as I get paid, I'm just going to smash it out. But now I'm, do I wait for Black Friday? Do I not? It's horrible, honestly, it ruins it. Because then before you know, then it's nearly December. When is Black Friday then? Is it kind of the last week of November or something? I should know that with my job.

Hold on, let me look. Where are we? I want to say, I think it's the week, I think it's the 21st November. I don't think it's the last. I think it's the one before. Right, okay. I think, I'll double check guys and let you know, but I'm sure it is.

though I was working today, and my colleague said she already had a email, a Black Friday email from someone. So, yeah, I mean, it gets earlier and earlier. I think if you're going to save money, it's what Martin Lewis says, isn't it? Yeah. If you've got things you want to buy that you can wait and see if the price has come down, then you're saving money. But if you're going to go on and just buy stuff for the sake of it,

you're wasting money on Black Friday. But it's knowing as well, isn't it? If it's going to be in there. Because there was something in the other. What did I look at? I had something, I was going to buy it. And I dragged my heels, and I've looked today, and it's gone up again. Yeah, it's annoying.

But the problem is you'll have, everyone will do still have a discounts as well. Amazon will have their prime day, you have a prime day again, don't they, whatever it is. And the thing is with Black Friday, sometimes you're like, is it actually cheaper? Are they just getting you out of it? That's right, well, that's what I mean. How bad it's, it's a lot of reasons that you've got to know, shit. I haven't, I don't feel I've got time for it. it.

No, and I'm quite good with you because I will say... You're brilliant. Yeah, I'll say wait for... I mean, in the summer you were fantastic with the kids' birthdays. Yeah. I saved a fortune.

I know. What was that? Again, on the Amazon... Amazon deal thing. Yeah, on their iPads. The fire... What are they called? Tablets.

Tablets. Yeah, the Amazon ones. Yeah, you say it's low. That was 40% off. Really good. It's ridiculous. But I would have just got them and not known about it.

Yeah. But I see it's, you know, I can see why the deals are good for people but I think you're right it's quite a lot of it's quite confusing and I'd love to yeah what do you guys do do you wait for Black Friday yeah because now there's some brands that won't they won't play into Black Friday no so you know it's and also if you are going shopping you wouldn't want to go out that day no you have to do it online you got to be organised know what you get in have all your pages that's like me I've got all my stuff ready on

the pages yeah for certain things that's really good and then on that day I'll just check and if it's in the discount, oh. Then I think that's worth it. But then you could have Black Friday and then you'd have Cyber Monday. So that can sometimes be, yeah, it's a lot, yeah, it's hard. And it's hard for people to... Some people book Friday off, Nat. Some people book the day off so they can do all their shopping.

They go to curries and smash people up for a telly. They're punching each other, aren't they? For a computer or something. I don't know. I feel like it's maybe not as crazy as it was before. It's an American thing. We never had that before. Yeah, no, I haven't done anything yet, which is very unlike me.

Still. A few bits. No, no, no. I've got bits in folders. We've been talking, haven't we? So there's a few little bits and pieces. And I am thinking along the lines of that would be nice. Maybe I'll do that.

But I don't feel overly stressed about it. Good. I feel like I am very fortunate that I'm looking at my diary and I can see a few three days here, three days there, windows, where I'm. like, I'm going to do my shopping then. Because you want to do it physically or you do it online? Maybe a bit online, but I like physical shopping. I do like going out myself.

Yeah. See, I'm a nightmare because I'll go shopping and I'll see it and then I'll Google it and see if I can get it cheaper. Have you seen any gifts for anyone? Because people were asking us, just because you've been looking, anything good for any age groups or? Well, I mean, that's like a needle, where'd you start? I know.

Well, I was going to say that Mark got a really beautiful present from his family and again for a wine lover it's a Le Crusader canting kit but it looks really lovely I'm not sure how much it is probably a lot but again if it was a special present

for a husband or a grandfather maybe who likes a drop of red it looked really lovely in its box we haven't opened it yet but it's really nice look really good yeah it's I'm trying to sort of throw things out for people

I think the electric wine bottle opener I think they're amazing and they do little mini ones which is what I've got I've got you one and you seem to have lost it No I've got it Oh you found it

It was in the back of the cup It was there all the long It's because it's see through Oh yes You can get them on Amazon It's brilliant They're a really good little gift If no one's got one of those

Yeah that's true Yeah we need to do some research A little bit of research It's just There's some beautiful I know I know I bang on about it It's so boring But there are some really beautiful

Red and pink China wear Sets in M&S. Love all that stuff. They've got a butter dish which is red and pink with a bow. Gorgeous. So even if you wanted to just get that butter dish for someone, I feel like that's such a lovely present.

I feel like a nice platter, those sort of things when they're a bit unusual. They're always a lot or a nice dish, serving dish. Especially for Christmas because you can get them out and I've got quite a few plates that I don't use all year round and then I get them out beginning of November and I love using them for those sort of couple of months.

Yeah. It's good. I mean, there's lots. loads out there now, isn't there? Beauty. It's endless. Yeah, I mean, we can, yeah, we will. We do need to do a little breakdown. Joni really is into hair dressing at the moment. Yeah. Dolly's Platt. She's got her little Dole Elizabeth who's got Afro hair. She wants an Afro comb. She's been trying to do her hair. She's just really into hair at the moment. But I'm looking, she had a doll's head.

Yeah, yeah. So before anyone says, I've had the sort of dolls here. head, which has got sort of long straight brown hair. But I think there's something in the market for kind of something where you can buy certain different hair to put on a head and then you can cut it and stuff. Like wigs. Yeah, like wigs. You just need to buy her a mannequin head thing and a load of wigs. Well, maybe I do.

Do you think so? Yeah. I don't want it to be wasteful, but she really wants to cut hair. Yeah, but you could probably. get some, you haven't got to spend a lot on the wigs. It's some sort of cheapy ones. Yeah. As long as it was hair that she could play out or do stuff with a brush.

I mean, it's going to be like plasticy. I know. Yeah. Unless you go to the hair shop. That'll cost you a lot of money. Yeah. I love a look into it. Yeah.

She's never easy, Joanie. She's always into something a bit. But I love it. I thought, well, that's quite good. But we were looked in Smiths and, you know, there's just play things. She doesn't want that. She's at that age now where she wants to sort Like it's like the real thing

She wants to cut the hair Yeah, it's interesting I'll tell you something that's good for children That I've come across Little Tykes do Role Play Food Chef It's called like Creative Chefs It looks amazing

It looks so good So they've got an Italian one So you can like cut out the Ravioli Stuff it They've got You can make waffles They've got cakes They've got smalls

They've got pizza and I don't think it's Play-Doh but it's like even the eggs you can crack them and stuff comes out of it so they proper feel like they're cooking and you can even buy like refills off the set yeah really really clever some of them like the pizza ones like 20 quid

you get little pizza off on with it well pop it online yeah please make a note and pop that picture up oh I might even do it whatever but yeah they need to put it on they look really good so if your kids and I only started to think of it because I thought I might get rid of some Play-Doh

because we made biscuits the other day and she really enjoyed the dough and she had it all in her hands and she was trying to roll it and I thought oh do I really need Play-Doh at home and then I come across these

I thought this looks really clever There's some fluffy slime which I know again but great maybe for a smaller present and when I say fluffy slime it's like marshmallow so it's not overly you know it's not going to ruin stuff

it's not really gooey but I feel like she would like that she could roll that out You could cut with it again just for something small. That's quite good stuff. Yeah, you were big on the Play-Doh thing though. I mean, when we were younger, we loved it. I've always bought them Play-Doh.

I've never had it for my children. Joni didn't really get into it. Right. Eliza loved it. But yeah, it's only because I loved it. Yeah. I just threw it all the way. It was all dry, heartbroken.

I haven't got any Play-Doh in the house anymore. It's annoying though. When they mix it all up, I like, oh, that is the worst thing when you have a mate round and they fuck up every pot of Play-Doh beautiful colours all lovely

lovely smell and they just ruin it hated that not good at all not good at all but no there's some nice bits out there yeah there's loads of lovely bits

it's just again but for us what we're going to do oh I know I don't know well we're not doing anything mad so that's fine I've seen one thing for you

I tried a dice and hair dryer at the weekend. Have you not got that? No. No, I had an air wrapped, didn't I? Oh, is that not turning into the... I think you could get the... No, but your mum's got the hair dryer, hasn't she?

But I've never used it. Right. It's fantastic. Really, yeah. So I might just ask Mark for that. Nice. It's a game changer. My hair wasn't as frizzy once it was dry.

Oh, okay. It dried really quickly. It's really light. I feel like that is something I would really use. I know they're expensive, but... Oh, yeah. might ask him for that one. Oh, look, if it's something that you need and you'll use it, it's worth...

I think so. It's worth investing, isn't it? They are good these things, but yeah, they're just a lot of money. As I've said before, guys, if anyone wants a Peloton... Don't want it for Christmas. I'm being serious, get in touch. I'm desperate to get rid of mine. Oh, don't.

What are you going to do? Brand new shoes. But why don't you put it on? Because it's Christmas Someone might buy it It's a good time of year to do it You think so Yeah

Where would you put it Facebook marketplace or whatever I wonder what you meant Mark's good at that I know No he won't He's so angry That no one's on it

And that we've bought it That he doesn't want to give it away I'm like just photo it for me Please He might as well to type it on there You never know what's going to happen No we wait I said what we're waiting for

You don't get on it I'm going to get on it. You haven't got on it. Eliza doesn't use it. The only person who sits on it is Joni and she's too small for it. Yeah, it's the exercise stuff at home. I don't know.

You guys, I mean, I know some people that have had every little gadget going and they don't last. No. Look, it's lovely. It's a cheap way. I did it. I've got yoga mat, discs, weights.

I've never used it. I just think you've got to go. For me, I think there are people are amazing. They get up. They do it at home. You can do it online. Yeah.

Incredible, but I'm just that person. Same. I want to get out and do something. Get away from the house and you can focus and a bit of a change of scenery. I just think it makes you feel good. Yeah, same as me. I'm running on a running machine. I prefer to just run.

I don't like the running machine. Stick it on, see what happens, babes. Do you think so? Who knows? How's the rest of your week looking? Yeah, all right, thank you. I'm in London a couple of days. I'm doing a really interesting little thing for GMTV.

I won't go into it, but it's all about combating lonely. So I'm really pleased they chose me because I said swap my pods about and I can't wait. So we're going to be chatting to some people at Kings Cross Station having a cup of tea and just having a chat with people talking about loneliness. It's amazing, but I just, I can't. I'd be inviting back home. No, no, I'm terrible. So that's something really good.

And I've got a couple of bits and pieces on actually. I've got a lunch with someone. I've got to catch up with people chat about things. And then we're off. we're going away? Oh yeah, you go away. So we go away Thursday. Same. Which will be lovely.

Nice. How's the weather looking for you? Because you were... I don't know, up and down. Thursday doesn't look great, but we're just hotel, pool, chill. And then Friday we was going to go to Poulton's. Lovely.

I think it might be alright. There might be a little drizzle now and again, but I think we can get through that. Yeah. As long as it's not absolutely pissing down, you should be alright. It is cold, though, isn't it? It is cold. Drop. Rupp up. It's going to get colder this week.

Is it? Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely taking a bit of a turn, isn't it? Jeans, track suits, jumpers, dry robes for Wales. Oh, you love a dry robe, didn't it? Keeps you warm. Keeps you warm. Keeps you dry. It's going to be wet, in it, in Wales? Yeah.

I'm purely doing it for the railway for Mark. It's his birthday treat. It looks stunning. The children, you'd think I'm sending them down a Victorian mine. I said, you don't really know how lucky you are. I said, because I never stayed in a hotel with my mum and dad ever in my life until my dad was, my dad was on his own, never went anywhere. I said, so just be grateful that we're going somewhere. Can't wait to hear about it on the next pod. Although I don't know when we won't be doing one next week, well, will we?

We've got two live shows next week. We've got two live shows next week. We've got South End. Sell Out. South End, which this is coming out Monday. So, yeah, South End is Tuesday. and then Luton on Thursday. They're going to be great.

I'm really looking forward to them. Get those slips out. We've all got to sit together and make sure we discuss stuff a bit more, I think. Not focus too much. On the audience, as much. Did we do that on the other one? Yeah, we did.

Which isn't a bad thing, but I think we are... You feel rude though, don't you otherwise? Because that's what we're like. But it was also a very intimate space. So I think when it's that bit bigger, because what's the Dixon studio I think it's about 120, 130 so that's a lot bigger

so I don't feel, we'll feel like that there but all the learning curve Yeah, it's exciting Very, very good And you know what else we've got next week? Go on We're going to see Ricketts your face Oh, next Friday

Next Friday Oh my goodness I mean I know nothing Palladium Oh that's so exciting So exciting What time? Early Doors.

Yeah, she might like it, it's okay. Why don't you get her some ear muffs? Yeah. Or defenders? Yeah. Yeah. I'll sort it out. Yeah, it's fine.

I think she'll be fighting this year. She's that bit older. Oh, good. But yeah, no, I love that evening. It's cute, isn't it? It'll be really nice. Oh, what am I going to do for dinner, though? Chili or something.

Didn't we eat there last time? I can't remember. I usually do grab something there. Yeah. We'll sort it out. Chili is a good idea, though. Or if not, we just do sausages in rolls. Yeah, we usually buy something over there, I'm sure of it.

But you don't what the kids are like, they never eat properly, do they? So it's fine, we can just do some pasta. We'll do something. Keep it easy. All right. But yeah, we'll come around early. Yeah, all right, lovely. Oh, that's exciting.

Good stuff. Good stuff. All right, well. I will have loads to talk about then next time. Oh, my goodness, me. We really will. Yeah, we will. I can't wait to see everybody at the live shows.

I hope you're looking forward to it. I was just going to give Elya a tinkle for all of you that have missed her. Oh, no, she's getting the baby down. Well, I love you, Els. Okay, darling, we love you, Maria Feisnote. Love you, Els. We love you and we've really missed you. It's been a very different dynamic, just a very calm, chilled.

So maybe you're the one that turns it all upside down? No, it's just been calm and chilled, but we've missed you lots. And, yeah, I shall see you and talk to you soon. Hope everything's all right tonight. Love you loads. House stuff, eh? House stuff, yeah. I mean, it is a nightmare when things don't go to plan, isn't it?

Yes. When things are not going to plan, when you've got stuff going on. I know. I walked out the house. Yeah. And it's so dark, isn't it? My bulb's gone. I think I've said this before.

Yeah, you have. I still haven't changed it. I need to get that sorted because now it is really dark. I was late here because I couldn't find my car keys. they're in my coat pocket that was wearing. You've said that before as well, that you can't find your car keys. But you know,

you just feel like things keep them at home. There's one thing after another. It's so hard to keep on top of everything. Well, my washing machine is not working. Spinning, making a noise. But I don't even want to tell Mark tonight because I know that he'll pull it all out and he'll do it. And he's had a very long day,

so I'm just not going to tell him. I probably will. But I'm very fortunate because I've got another one. goodness. I'm, I needed, I've got a lot of clothes to wash. I had a busy weekend, Friday out, Saturday out. So, yeah, just got to get on with it. Oh, he'll sort of it, though. He's good at stuff like that, and he? Yeah, he'll be all right.

Bless him. Bless him. All right. Right, okay. Lovely. Lovely to see you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for making it work tonight for me. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you, everybody, as always, for everything. Keep buying, please. Keep buying. And, yeah, can't wait to see you. Send us your pictures when you get the stuff. Oh, yeah. Lovely idea. Pickies of you in your stuff or if you've got a bag, whatever you've bought, send pictures so we can put them online.

Love that. Because we'd love to do that. Feedback, ideas, bring them on. Thrab. Thank you. Loads of love. Speak to you later. See ya.

Tadda. Well, I'm glad that you've missed me. I think it's out of order, really, that you've done it without me, but whatever. No, it's all good. Things happen. It's all gravy. Yeah, just going to crack on and sort of stuff out here. But hope, yeah, hope it's all gone well.

Happy podding and see you next time, guys.
