As promised, everybody, it's International Women's Week for us, joined by my beautiful nieces. Happy International Women's Week. Who around the world, girls, girls. Who around the world, girls? Happy International Women's Week. Oh, is it the whole week? It's a week now, apparently.

The day than the week. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought that was my thing. No, didn't just make invent it. I thought I was doing a week to celebrate. No. Women's year? Oh.

No, it's, I think. Yeah, when was it? Sunday. It was Sunday, yeah. And then a week, a week of stuff. I see loads of things on the socials, which is nice. It is nice, actually. It is nice, actually. What did you think?

Because when I spoke to your mum... Yeah, I was listening. Oh, you listened. It's sort of that... Women's supportive women and all that. So, guys. But yeah, I felt like your mum was a bit awkward in saying that women are great. No, she was great.

And I do think we suffer from that. Yeah, massive. I do think we... We are embarrassed to say that we are great. Women, in general. In general, they're great. I think as well what we got, I wanted to shout when I was listening to it and get involved in the Convo.

I think what you've got to remember is, obviously, it's still now. We're still battling things, you know, women high up in companies, in big positions. It's still... The page, gender cap is still alive and cooking. That as well. And from my experience, It might not be everywhere, but in my industry, and again, generalising, but a lot of the women that are in the higher roles don't have children, maybe have a partner, maybe don't, or they have one child.

It's still, it is still, unfortunately, the maternity breaks. But again, I was going to say it's not their fault. What they've done is chosen their career. Or you think they've chosen their career, but it's, they've been on a trajectory. And then before you know it, you're like, oh, fuck, I haven't met that person or I haven't had a family or, I mean, it's never too late. You could adopt, do whatever you want. But there is still that around.

So, yeah, we're still fighting for being able to have it all if that is a thing and if that will ever be. And also you've got to remember this all stems from way back the right to vote. Of course. Yeah, it's amazing. Like when you think of it like that. And I think how far we've come is also amazing, but it should be completely equal.

And it isn't. I saw a really interesting message today, and it was from a lady, I've not got it on my phone right now, but she was saying how even an iPhone has been created for a man's hand. Oh, really? You know, if you're going to take a landscape shot. The size of the span.

It was the size of the span, which I thought was. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's like the bigger one, the iPhone map. Yeah. It's funny though. Yeah, it's funny.

What have you been up to? You're very quiet. No, I'm just sorry. No, I'm thinking. I don't know. I don't really think about the international women stuff. It doesn't. Why?

I don't know. It has no sort of impact. Yeah. That's fair enough. Did it not when you was at work and stuff? I feel like that's where a lot of it comes. stems from, I feel. Yeah.

But again, I think as everything. Just me. Just, I don't. Yeah, but we are quite, although we're not, we are feminine and girly in a way, but we're bloke, aren't we?

We're quite laddie. Like, even with me, when I started off in my job, in the industry, I worked on menswear. Yes. I see a lot more men, and I like that.

I like to have that balance. Yeah. Yeah. I think when I'm, I prefer to work with guys. Yeah. I agree. That's always been the way I am.

I prefer. if I go into a pub, I'd want to stand with the blokes and have a chat. Yeah. So we're handing on who it is. Yes, yeah. If, you know, when we go to the local, I like talking to the old boys. I mean, I'm with the old boys. Yeah.

Because I just fight, I don't know, it's just that chat for me. I don't know. It's funny because I was listening to the pod, I was thinking, oh, it's amazing, like supporting women, empowering women, love it. Why are we not with women? Why do we still want to go with the men? It's funny. And then I thought, do you know what, I couldn't live with myself.

Yeah, no, fuck that. I don't know, I couldn't live with a woman. Imagine the hormones. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It's bad enough having daughters. Yeah. It is got to, but I do think a lot of it is a hormone thing.

And then on the other side, it's like men now, they're doing so much work about talking about feelings and emotions. Yes. And it's amazing, isn't it? So it's all, I guess we're all trying to take bits from each other. Exactly. But we are better. I had a couple of messages that we must play regarding the Women's Week. Hi Nat, it's Christ from Jersey.

Just thought I'd send a little message in relation to the International Women's Week. Why not celebrate us all the time? Anyway, tonight is opening night of the vagina monologues. And I know that you did this years ago. So yesterday was our tech and dresser-on. and we open tonight for four nights, and we are raising money for Jersey Action Against Rape, which is charity over here. And we've also, as a cast, put together donations, which are going to give to another local charity called Freida,

which is Freedom Against Domestic Violence or Abuse, sorry. So yeah, it's opening night tonight, and honestly, you couldn't have put together a better group of women. We've always got our stories, we've all got a reason why we're wanting to do it, but together the power that we bring on stage is phenomenal. So I think we're ready now for our audiences after two months of rehearsing, and we're ready to show everybody what we've been doing. So I just wanted to send all the love to all of you and to all strong and beautiful women.

We do all go through difficult times in life, but when we stay together and lift each other up rather than tearing each other down especially in this daynade we have to be there for one another life can be really tough and really cool and as I continue through my cancer journey these women have been the most incredible safety net a space where I feel safe if I want to cry I can cry but I can also laugh about what I've gone through

So yeah, I just wanted to say, well done to all the beautiful, strong women out there. Keep fighting. Keep knowing that people have your back. And together, you know, we will make this a much easier journey. Anyway, sorry, a little bit out of breath, just been marching down the road to get the bus to work. Lots of love to you all. Thank you for everything that you do. And I will one day try and get across to the UK to see one of the live shows.

Take care. Bye. Oh, that was incredible. She always messages, didn't she? Amazing. Yeah, she's amazing. Really amazing. Two months rehearsals. Wish I had that when I did the vagina monologous.

Is that long? Oh, it's excellent. I bet it's well polished. Great show. Fantastic show. Yeah, it's amazing. Good luck. She sent that Monday, so I really hope it went really well.

Let us know how it went, how much money you raised. But sounds like a fantastic project. And lovely to be around women and have that for, you know, for those couple of months, those eight weeks, to be able to have something to go to. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. It's nice, isn't it?

Brilliant. You're all there for the same reason, and it's some passion that you share. Yeah. It's lovely. That's excellent. What you've been up to this week? I don't know.

I feel really, I don't know what the week. I don't know why I feel like that this week. I know why you feel like that. Why? Because you went out on Monday. That is a stinker of a night. Oh, God. Going out on a Monday.

See, that to me is like illegal. No, someone said to me that is pure mum life where you can't find any weekend. Yeah. So you've got a Monday. Well, no, the reason it was a Monday is because we took one of my best friends. There's four of us. It's our 40th's this year, if you didn't know. So hers was in January and that was the earliest state we could get.

But no, we took her to see the Gypsy Kings. I mean, gosh, we sound, we were one of the youngest slot in there. but they were amazing at Royal Albert Hall. She had never been. So we met for cocktails and lunch. It was lovely. We went to Covent Garden, which was actually nice because it's touristy. It was busy.

It was a bit like, oh, Monday, it's going to be dead. But no, really lovely. But, yeah, I mean, Tuesday was a long old day. It's a long old week. Well, there you go. And we had, where did we go Manchester at the weekend? Saturday. Saturday.

That was great, wouldn't it? It was really, really good. It was really good. great audience. We've had some great crackers the past couple of shows, haven't we? Very, very good. Looking forward to Leeds. Oh, yeah, we've got Leeds. Went out next weekend? Yeah, 22nd. That's going to be fun. A long old day, isn't it? Are you coming?

You coming? Fuck's sake. She can't miss out, can she, are Maria? No, no, no. Well, no, so I didn't know you weren't doing Bristol. So I would like to do one more with you, otherwise we're not going to get to do one. Oh, you say that. We've got Hartford now, but, too. It's true. 24th of May,

Hartford Beam Theatre, our local. Yeah, cracking. Oh, that would be so nice. So nice. Get there like 12 minutes up the road. I know, I've got a few friends that have booked tickets, haven't we?

Yeah, and I'm like, we'll go out after. So, yeah. What day is it? It's a bank holiday, I think. It's a Sunday. Oh, yeah, it is bank holiday. Have a little, go for a little drinking. Drinks.

That'll be nice. Yeah. Excellent. Lovely. What have you been up to today? I spent a lot of my day in the car No, we went out this morning And then I thought

Oh James is really tired I'm going to get my nails done But you know when you're uming R in and debating it I'm like should I do it Should I not? And I thought ah And then I spoke to Natalie And she was like

Just do it Just do it It'll be fine Blaming me now He fell asleep in the car Then when I tried to move him to the prim He woke up I couldn't then get him back down

Oh this is that lunchtime nap Yeah now it's 1 o'clock I'm now freaking out because I'm like, he needs to sleep. Yeah, funny, I know that feeling. Well, he can't not sleep. No, no. And then my day's hell.

Or then it'll be like four o'clock when to go sleep. Exactly. So then I put him in the car, drove around half an hour, finally got him to sleep. So I, then I needed to get some stuff, which Tescoes didn't have, so that then annoyed me.

So I went to Sainsbury's... What did you take him out again? No, I let him sleep in the car, but I thought I'm not going to keep driving. I've been driving for 45 minutes. So I sat in the... Especially with the fuel prices? Stinker.

electric car babes. Oh yeah. Don't have that problem. So lucky. Well, no, just convenient. Yeah. I sat in the space whilst he slept for about 35 minutes. Parent and child.

I can't believe what I saw. And the mood I was in, how I've not had a row, I don't know. You'd be very proud of me because I sat there. But what I noticed, I did, and I did laugh to myself, I actually turned around at one point and was like, what part of you thinks that's acceptable? What part of you thinks that's okay, mate?

And I'm like, this is probably saying it, but like in a normal time. Just talking to yourself. I witnessed a 34-year-old guy. How long was you sitting in the space? 35 minutes. Oh, okay. I have a child. I was ready for someone to say something.

But you're just sitting there? No, I got out then. I got out after. I had no choice for you. What, after 35 minutes? Yes. Yeah, but you've got a baby in the car. I've got a baby in the car.

We can't just sit there for 35 minutes. Yes, I fucking can. You're allowed in the car apart for two hours. What do you mean? I could have been in the shop. Okay. Interesting. No.

Trust me. Don't wind me up because I'm not in the mood. Ooh. A guy, just get out. Go in the shop, come back. On his own? Correct. Then the person to the right of me, I would say 54, 54 year old woman.

Very specific. You know, around that age. Yeah. Gets in her car. And I'm just looking, shaking my head, thinking, I really want to get out. You should have done like a video. You could have been like one of the other people. Drives away.

So now two spaces next to me empty. So the person to the left of me next to them, another woman. I thought, no, this is someone's pranking me. Someone is pranking me. No, it's not. It's quarter to two. Then a big car pulls in. I'm thinking, right, it's going to be all right.

Couple. Woman gets out. The husband stays in the car watching TikTok. Maybe the kids are sleeping the back. No, I looked. There was no kid in the car. So this is a... And I promise you, I could not believe it.

Where's the people? That was Sainsbury's. I was so close to going in and saying, I just need to understand. Is this normal? Yeah. In fact, I'm going to, that one. is the worst one.

So I'm going to have to stop going there. Because it brings me so much anger, it's not good for me. You need to cut it out your life. Yeah, I'm going to have to stop going there. Because I don't feel that anywhere else, although I did witness it at the big Tesco's the other day. I just turned a blind eye. There's so many of them that I can...

Hodgiston. Always fucking is. What about Hodgston? And there's not many of them. Not being rude, but I don't feel we've touched on the crime that was committed. in Hoddesden town. No, I can't talk about it. It's a disgrace.

Don't go there anymore. Forget it. I'm done with a place. Oh, no, you're saying that. People live in the place. Well, no, we've got Sainsbury's. We've got that going on. I'm sick of it.

Boycott it. Just so you all know, because I've not seen it on radio. It's not in the paper. It must be happening so frequently. That it's like the norm. It's just the norm now. Another day. So you will remember.

It's the machete for me. So there was a... It makes me anxious talking about it. It was a robbery of a joy. and it was exactly the same thing that happened in West London, which was on national news that some of you may remember a few weeks back. Broad daylight, midday, on a motorbike, two people, all covered over, one with a machete waving it around outside the shop,

and then the other one just gets off the bike, chainsaws. Shock him. Cuts the window, grabs all the stuff. At 12 o'clock in the day? The audacity. And I saw a post from the jewelers. They'd received loads of flowers. flowers and cards and I thought, oh, that's lovely.

They've been there. How long have they been there for a long time? Yeah. And I know it happens everywhere, but when it happens on your doorstep, it is quite frightening. Yeah, it is. Because if you were walking, like, you saw people run it. I don't get it. It's weird, yeah.

People with their children. No, it's awful. Awful. Yeah, really awful. Anyway, I do hope. If, yeah, if anyone knows that jewelers and the people that own it, please send them our love. Because that is the people. isn't it?

Yeah, it is. And also just quickly, I saw, you know, Tesco was saying about this parent and child thing. Yes. Someone put up a post about it and one of the slides said, slides. One of the things said. Please. Parking is for children. The parents and their child deemed under the age of 12 and for heavily pregnant women.

They should put that on the size. So for those people that asked, absolutely. get stuck in. And that is true. You can't get out of the car, can you, when you're heavily pregnant? We had a message about this. And I'm so sorry.

With the pregnant thing as well. I'm playing with those. Get them out my sight. The bays, I guess, are closer to the shop. So that's why you haven't got as far to walk. Do you what I mean? Yes. But someone...

What are you're talking about? Parent and child are near the shop. So if you're heavily pregnant, you haven't got a walk from all the way over there? No, true. It helps out, didn't it? However, didn't we have a message? on this.

Yeah. Because someone said, can I, am I okay to park in it? No, there was another message that said, I would rather the parent

and child spaces be right at the back because then people wouldn't want to park there. It's true. It is true, but also you don't want to be walking through car parks

with kids and that, you know, it's like, yes, it's a bit dangerous. Or just have some more, just stick a few more down the end. People would still parking

and people would just lazy. The audacity. I genuinely wanted to get this young boy earlier, 34, he might have been 38, and say, are you fucked? Are you fucked up? Have you got a niece? Have you got a daughter? Have you got a little cousin?

No, a small human in your life. Was it busy? It's always busy. I don't understand what goes through your brain. As a human to think it's okay to drive in and go, oh, there's a space. Because you wouldn't do it in the disabled. Well, no, but people do.

No, people do that. Yes. And I saw it happen in Harlow the other day, and I saw this car, weaked into this disabled bay, parked like an absolute, like, so badly. And then when I came back from doing my shopping, they had a ticket. Oh, that's good.

Oh, I wish I was here to have witnessed that. But no. Oh, a few minutes. It winds me up. It's just not okay. I'm going to get caught out one day, and I am going to be fucked. But... Busy, no.

James is going to be 13. No, I'm not busy. Because I've been driving around looking for those spaces. No, I know. I know. I can't get James out of my car unless I'm in a... It's really difficult. Oh, it is, yeah. And then you might...

Like today, I managed to park quite well so that I could. And then when I've come back, there's a car parked shit. I could not get him in. So then what am I doing? Leaving him in the road when I pull the car out. Yeah. The rage you feel, however. For this, at least you can maybe turn a blind eye

or not go to the shop that does it worse. But when people are cutting in on roads, I can't do anything about that because I need to get somewhere. And it's the same person who cuts in, who parks in. It's selfishness. That's the same person. It is. Well, possibly, but I don't know.

It's the same person. It's just people that feel like they own their. Own the road. Go where they like. No, look. They're not thinking of anyone else. No, no, no. There's, you know, there might be sort of cutting in a certain little time.

No. You've done it. Sometimes I've done it by accident and I get really panicking. I'm like, oh, fuck. No, but also there's instances that someone would say I've cut in. You know, like when it says the lane is closed on the right, okay? The lane is closed from a certain point. So that means you continue.

No, that's true. Because you're building up the traffic by all citizens. in the left lane. No, that's different. So people would say you're cutting in. No, I'm not. I'm doing what I'm being told. I'm not going to keep driving through the cones.

I'm coming and then we start merging. It isn't difficult but people go, oh my God, the lane's closed in a mile so I'm going to move in the left lane. I know what you're saying. No, if everyone just took their way and we all merged in intertwined, one, two, one, it would be okay. I hear you. But yes, there's other cutting in that is a disgrace. But yeah, the parking for me, when you know there could be people with small children, it's not okay. Have a listen to this.

My little one is now four and a half. But when he was a newborn baby and you know you're in your sort of newborn haze and you don't really know what's going on, I went to the supermarket and I parked in the child and parent space, but I didn't have James in the car. He wasn't with me. He was with one of his grandparents. And I panicked. So I pretended to get a baby out of the car. and then ran across the car park

because I'd already parked up and I was so tired and I was just like so I just pretended to get a kid out of the car and they went into the supermarket and I thought well actually if anyone sees my car there I've got a child seat in the back

but yeah the things we do when we're that tired new mum we'll let you off absolutely the rage you feel about that is how I feel about soft plays there's a certain one

I don't think I can go to anymore because every time I go I could fight I don't feel that rage but maybe because that's the problem it's really bad I told two children

had to tell them off I used to be the same it was a slight like a really big drop slide yeah so the kids were going on it so they wanted us to watch them come down these kids

older as well running up I said, no, no, no, no, you can't do that. You can't run up the slide. You're going to hurt someone. Then they kept doing it, kept doing it. I said to me, if you're going to keep doing it, I'll find your parents. So get out the way.

Well, no, you should have just gone to the front desk and said. Yeah, I should have, I should have. Because that's down to the parents. I know you're there thinking you get a break, you can have a coffee. You should still keep an eye. You have to keep an eye on your children. And not just that. I know they all do them.

I'm going, you should still. No, you should be absolutely keeping an eye. And I know sometimes they will do little things like that. I'm not saying, my kids wouldn't, but they would shit themselves. If someone said to them, you can't do that, they would shit their pants. Yeah, yeah, if it was a stranger. These kids were then doing to wind me up. I thought, oh, wow.

Anyway, I thought I got to get out of here. Then Ruby wanted me to take her on the big side. So I go up, I take her on these kids, all pushing in. I said, kids, calm down. It was mad, calm down. Then there's other little kid was crying. He went to get off, so I was helping him again. I'm like, where's everyone?

Where's everyone? These kids are crying? and where the parents? What are they don't? They're sat having their coffee, like happy days. Anyway, we get up there. It was me today. And there's these two girls, these two girls sitting there.

One of them's a bit old. I think they were sisters. They were a bit hesitant about going down. She turned around. She's got a lollipop in her mouth. I said, no, no, no. I said, you can't go down the side. I said, you've got a lollipop in your mouth.

So they come off and stepped down and went off. And then I thought, I'm going to have to find the parent just to let them know. And then I thought, no, I saw the parent, I thought I won't be doing that. But, go down the slide. But I'm confused. Why have you got a lollipop in a soft play? Because she's probably just grabbed it and not upset and run away. But no, yeah.

Why are you giving them lollipop? You're in a soft play? That's so dangerous. I know, but people do it to keep them quiet. Well, no, they might not know that they've run away or she's, yeah, you just don't. But someone wants a sweet. I'm saying it's a quiet life, isn't it? No, no, not lollipops in a soft pot.

Not even fucking selling them. Well, no, I'd be saying lollipops in general, I think for little children shouldn't be allowed. And I agree. Not their little ones with a drumstick, but not them like chupp-a-chups. Yeah, no, they shouldn't be having them. And they always sell them in soft places. Yeah, I mean, I was bamboozled. They shouldn't sell them?

I thought I've got to get out of this too much for me. Lollipot. They're really dangerous. You only got to have that thing come off. It's really bad. I don't think the children should have them anymore. No, I don't think it's good. I'm very, very pleased that my children don't like sweets. Yeah, they don't they?

No, they don't eat sweets. I mean, I asked, when Jack got in tonight, I said, I'll let him have some of this tangerine. I said, but make sure you just split it because he could choke. It's like, why are you giving it to him then? I'm like, well, no, he has to have these guys who jokes on anything. But Jack gets so annoyed. He's like, well, no.

I don't want him to have it. I'm like, no. It can't. It's small. Oh dear. It's a funny old game, that's for sure. Yeah, that is the pits, though, the choking stuff. That's really, that is scary.

You've got to be very knowledgeable. Any new mothers out there, solid starts. It's a brilliant app that I used. Really? Just teaches, it tells you how to cut things at a certain age, like from six months, from nine months. Oh, that's good. Like six months, the strawberry should be whole.

But then, you know, as they get, older actually it needs to become smaller otherwise they will just shove it all in. So it's how to cut. I'm not saying you don't know but it is there's certain things where you're like oh how should I prepare that? It's very good solid starts. Well it's like the grape thing

because grapes are a huge choking hazard to children but I remember cutting mine in half so obviously it's the same shape isn't it? Not long ways it's got to be long ways.

Yes. It's actually quarters, it should be. But a stupid thing to do. I remember cutting it, but half of it. Yeah, no. So it was the same shape. So that would have been really good for me, that act. Absolutely.

Very good. We digressed. I think we do have to mention that. We did come back from Dubai a week before. Oh, my goodness. The chaos started. Not lucky, were we? We were ever so fortunate.

Very lucky. And we've had so many messages, you know. I know. Thank you so much. I'm so pleased you're home. Oh, yeah. Well, we don't need to be worrying about us. I mean, look, I think it's a very safe place

and they're, you know, protecting. Well, we heard from Amy. We heard from Amy in Dubai and she sent a message to say what we're hearing, you know, actually. A bit of scaremongering. A little bit of scaremongering. They're all good.

It's all fine, you know. Obviously, it's going to be scary. And, you know, I think being on holiday there and just wanting to get home, I can't imagine how that must feel. but yeah we got home at the right time but no I'm just saying it's weird when you've gone somewhere and that's happening

because I think even even if like it does feel safe or you're hearing stuff you would just not be able to enjoy it oh it's out of the norm it's awful and you're not coming home when you're meant to so that brings on a lot of way and then you feel stuck and you're well why am I stuck I was stuck in Italy when the volcanic ash

Ash happened. And that was awful. I mean, awful for many reasons. But not being able to, it was out of control, not being able to get home. And that's horrible. And you're thinking, well, how long am I going to be here? Yeah, I mean, I know a few people there.

I mean, it's all very, the world is a mad place at the moment. There's a lot going on. I'm listening to quite a lot of news at the moment because I feel like I want to be educated in it. But at the same time, I do think it brings my mood down. And that may sound really selfish. I don't really listen. Yeah, no, it doesn't really.

I listen to it, but no, I don't... I think it does. I think when you're listening to LBC, you're watching the news, and I try and watch different news channels to get different opinions, and then I whack on a bit of question time. And I do think it is quite draining on the brain.

Not for me. Fair doce. Not that I'm saying it's not, I just find it... But I listen, when I listen to LBC, like I was saying to Mark, I like hearing different people's perspective, his opinions rather than just news.

No, I just, no. No, I like it for that. I like hearing listeners. It's just like debates, isn't it? It's like talking. So it's, yeah, I like listening to that. I just think it's interesting. I've heard conversations at work and stuff

and you can tell people are reading stuff and then they're really thinking about it and thinking the worst and they're like, do you think this is going to happen? I'm like, oh, I don't really want to think. I don't know, maybe it's... Well, you don't want to be naive, but also it's sometimes what you don't.

No, it's, yeah, but you don't know doesn't hurt you and all of that sort of stuff. It doesn't kill you, makes you sonya and all that. Absolutely. That is absolutely true. And we went to, where were we? What was the theatre we were at? Was it Colchester? Oh, yes.

A lovely guy there who's, you know, part of the management team. Yeah, he was lovely. He wore a, had a Sonia T-shirt on, didn't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was a what doesn't kill you makes you sonya. No, it wasn't. Was it not? I can't remember what it was.

In Manchester we did meet some cracking people. They've booked the Panto, your favourite, um, Threesome. Have they? They've booked the Panto. I should be having a drink with them at Christmas. Is it Lisa? Yep. I have an Elya. Lisa and Danny.

Elia, I can't, I can't, no, no, no, I can't explain. You would have lost your mind. Well, I'll have to get to Panto on the same day. It just, I think, it took me back. She was nostalgic. She reminded me my mum. Exactly that. She did. She's fucking and blinding and...

But she was not quite... I don't know. She was just a character. Brilliant. Yeah, absolutely brilliant. Some lovely people. Danny, Deck and Lisa. Yeah, that's it.

Yeah. Absolute crackers. Our little photo. I shall pop that on Instagram. Excellent. No, absolutely. Brilliant. They were trying to drag me out,

else. They were going out to... Who was DJing? What's her name? Can't remember But it was a day... From Lina Duty. Oh, Vicki McCrugh.

Really? But a day disco, I thought these three, they've come out, they've seen us, then they're going to a day disco, I thought your life is excellent. They were like, couch, Lisa. I was like, come on, I'll drop your home. Getting in the cast, six-hour journey, lovely. It was a bit cold in there, though, isn't it? Yes.

Literally. The old... Colder than the church? Yeah, this was a shed. It was like a corrugated. shed there when we turned up to the green room. It was pitch black at the green room. Oh no.

For a little bit of BTS for you all. There was no lights. You couldn't swing a cat in there. I said I wish her Leah was here. She would have a heart there. Yeah, no, you would have had a heart. We said, cause she's missed out on this run. Trust her not to be here.

Leeds is going to be like glam, beautiful. What was it? What was the venue? It was brilliant. It was called the Fairfield Social Club. And it was an old derelict building that they've made good and it was really interesting

but it was like the industrial zone of the crystal maze there were stairs to go up I mean men scaffolding no yeah

wall you know where you can fall off things I thought I can't believe this we had a glitter backdrop but there was no wall behind it I was freaking out

you know what I'm like I thought no I can't do this she's going to go down at that you imagine shows off show's over But no, it was really, really good. I enjoyed it. I mean, it is interesting all the different places, though, isn't it?

I think it's so interesting because... It's a bit like us, really. But everywhere you go is so different. I can't even say all that one was a bit like that one. They are all so different. What's been your favourite? I know what mine is. I know I've not done that many.

I thought Brighton was amazing. The Forge Comedy Club. Just the same thing. I think of not necessarily the audience, no offence to Brighton, but I'm talking about the location. It sets the scene as well a little bit sometimes where we are and the setting, the minute. Brighton was really good. It was cosy but cool. Yeah.

The green, yeah, like where we got ready was out. Yeah, I really liked Brighton. It was excellent, yeah. Yeah. No, they've all been brilliant. No, they're amazing. Yeah. The audiences, I think, are really getting into it as well.

So it's... My flowers from that lovely lady who worked at Colchester. I can't believe it. And also from Gemma. Yes. They have lasted. They're stunning. Oh, how lovely.

Yeah, lovely. Really well. I can't believe it. No, they're fantastic. Why are you laughing? Yours are gone already. You just don't keep them for five seconds. Oh, I know.

What are you laughing at? I think they're lovely. That might have done really well. Well, like mine... Why are you laughing? She left her here. Fucking gutty. Oh, that's out of Alder.

Oh, no. They did really well. I had to throw them today. Well, mine are still going and they look lovely. Do you fresh... Do you? Nope, I haven't touched them. Have you not?

But I promise you, normally... Well, how long has that been? Over a week. Yeah. Can't believe it. Well, that's very good. Maybe they're just in the right spot. Yes.

They're looking good. Are they in the beast, I got you? They are. I've got it, to be fair. And I bought just a little green one. Oh, lovely. I bought myself some tulips yesterday. Oh.

I got bought some tulips at the weekend. Mine don't last long tulips, though. No, but, and do you know what? I'm going to say it, I don't like daffodils. Oh. Oh, wow. They do go a bit weird, don't they? They're shit.

Really shit. Like, I don't even want to put them out because what is that? And then. it's like, oh, they're beautiful. Bang, turn around and they're dead. No, they do go quickly, but they're wonderful in the ground. But Jackie, Jackie always, at this time of year she will bring me some. But, you know, there's a lot of them.

And she bought the big double headers. What are they? They've got kind of double-headed. So they're thicker. They're just bigger. They've got more going on. They sound interesting. I like the fucking little flaccid ones in that stuff.

No. But you see, with the tulips, That is a what Flassid That is an awful word That That's a terrible word We'll come back to that

We've got a lot of icks to get through But a tulip What blows my mind Is I've got some downstairs Half of them No They were tall Prow

And now they're like Two seconds Mine are And a few of them all All gone over Or like the leaves go first No Mine are lovely

Mine went a bit sad. You're meant to get a pin and make a little hole in each stem at the top. Oh. Apparently. Okay. So why haven't you done that then?

Who's got time to be pin-picking fucking stems? That is a job that Mark would do. Not at the moment he wouldn't. We are run off our feet here. Can I also say that this week isn't okay? Yeah, how's your week being? I have just there.

She is so busy. No, no, no. But again, it's not about the busyness. It's how I feel. I have no energy at all. Oh, you need to sort it out, babes. I read something earlier actually, maybe because we were speaking about it.

Well, we're due on, aren't we? We're due on. We're doing it. A banana. Magnesium or something? Fuck. Guys, for anybody with any hormonal problems or suffering with perimenopause?

Eat a banana. Have a banana. Can you imagine if it was. works. Maybe I could invent banana supplements. They're probably out there. Oh, what if they're not? You just have a banana, wouldn't you?

Yeah, but what if you could mix it with stuff, and then that would be perfect? Well, no, just have the banana and buy the supplements, then you're getting the snack. Have your magnesium tablet? Oh, don't. I don't. Oh, look on Dragon's doing with that.

Make a note. Make a note. I might have some bananas then. Great. Sounds loves the banana. He'd be alright when he's on his period. God. No, it's just before I come on, it's awful.

No, I know, it wipes you out. And then I'm fine, I'm full of energy then. Well, it's weird because we was talking about it the other day, wasn't it? It might have been at Manchester. When was you around Sunday? I had a few cramps. I thought, what was going on? Really?

Yeah, which is not. But, yeah, weird, weird. You lot know far too much about your bodies. I? Yeah, we're just not going to it. It's just like, oh, going on. It's just, all this, oh, two days before, week before, four days before, four days before, nine days after. It's got a fucking clue.

Yeah, we are. Just go, hello, oh, yeah, whack a padding. That does not happen to me, though. Yeah, you've got no. It will come, it will come your way, unfortunately. Maybe little bits, but no, I just. It's getting worse for me. But I am, you know, I'm 43 soon, so.

You keep saying this. What, look. I think it's the beginning. I've spoken to some friends of mine. You did the test. They said you're all right. I know they did. They said I was absolutely fine.

You're like, what's the word? It is weird that every time you're feeling that way. Every single time I feel like fluy. I'm freezing cold. And that is a massive symptom. Oh, is it? Yeah. So I'm really fluy.

I'm shivery. I'm cold. I'm achy and my fatigue is not normal. Oh, wow. But only for a few days. But what do you do? What do you do? Layes and safe.

No. No. No. I bed. If you don't want to do that, what have you got to do? Start taking... No, I am. I've got stuff downstairs, but I need to.

You know, like you said, I am going to say it. I need a pillbox. Do you want my one? Why don't you use it anymore? No. I need one. I think I was taking too many. Oh, for fuck.

Apparently you should have mixed some with some. It's fucking... I was taking quite a lot at one point. It was making me feel a bit sick. Well, no, you just need to check. And also, you should be taking all of your... tablets with your main meal, a lot of them. I need to sort my life out.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. Pathetic. So there we go. It's a lot. It's just a lot to think about. It's a lot to think about. I've just started taking some sort of gut health,

like a probiotic. Yeah. Yeah. I was highly recommended. It tastes disgusting. You know, they're like, get the passion fruit and mango one. That's the best one.

So it comes and think, oh, it looks quite nice. Yeah. And I was like, what are you doing? Is it a shot or? Yeah. Just a bottle. You have like a seven. Meil a day.

Fine, yeah. Give it a bash. I do that. I do that. I was buying all the little miniature shots. I'm the same as you. I start things and I never ever keep it up. And you need to do these things for a good mom. Yeah, yeah.

To see the benefits of them. Collagen, stop doing that. I mean, it's a lot. Got to get back on it. One plus one equals more of the greatest stories. The Hulu on Disney Plus. Stories about. Survivors.

The most dangerous planet. Family. Retribution. Murder. Prophecy. Beer and propane. The ultimate soldier. The best of the best stories now with even more from Hulu.

Amazing. Have it all with B-U on Disney Plus. We spoke about the warm weather and I asked for some summer updates. I mean, it's absolutely freezing. But we did have a baking hot day last week, didn't we? So let's have a listen to this. Good morning. I've just listened to you and nieces whilst I was at the gym, trying desperately not to laugh.

I must have looked like a crazy lady. But it's brought up a couple of points. You said, let you know what crazy things you've seen people wearing on the warmest day so far this year. And my kitchen overlooks the road. And yesterday there was a young girl. She can't have been older than 10, but she was fully out there in hot pants and a croppedop. and I said to my husband, look at what she's wearing. I mean, it wasn't that hot, was it?

And road rage, my husband is the worst road rager ever. He did it the other day on our road to a bus driver. He literally, the bus driver, in fairness, should have stopped because he had cars parked on his side, but he decided to come through and leave us just stuck in the middle of the road. So my husband took all of his feet, all of his hands, feet off the pedal, hands off the wheel, and just sat there swearing at the bus driver and refused. to move and I just wanted to melt into the cracks of my seat but I told him to move and he did whilst making some very rude hand gestures at the bus driver but he's the worst he's so bad at

road rage I hate it I hate it when he drives I just look out the window and try not to make eye contact with the other driver yeah have a lovely day bless you yeah being a passenger in that situation is not good some kids just don't feel the cold, do they? Well, Joni came around yours on that warm day, and I think she did have shorts and a cropped-top on. She had a little skirt on or something. Oh, maybe it was shorts and a, yeah, and a top on.

Not a cropped-top of a t-shirt, I think, and I was thinking she's going to be freezing. Love it, don't they? Don't feel the cold? No. Until they're all the next day. They've got pneumonia or something. That's good. Oh, we've got this one. This is good.

Sarah, just listening to your Nat's nieces to buy a debrief. On the subject of February summer clothes, On Wednesday evening in London on the Elizabeth line, a lady was wearing a boob tube, crop trousers and sandals at 5.45pm. Ooh. Boob tube, cropped trousers. I mean, I can only see maybe she was going out, but... Oh no, you still need a jacket.

Might be cold unless she'd been out. Was it a nice... Maybe for lunch? Yeah. No, but you're not wearing that. It's February. Yeah, no, it's true. I mean, I did it the other day and I just put my leather jacket on.

I was freezing. Yeah, you text me and said, I'm so cold. And as I walked into the office, my director walked in as well, she was in the blaze then she went, you've done what I've done, she went, how fucking cold is it? I was like, oh, no. But also it's deceiving at the moment. I went out with a hoodie today and all of that,

and then I thought, I won't bring my jacket. Thank God I did. I was freezing. Yeah, it was very cold today. It's like when the sun's out, and it's beating on you. It could be quite warm. My favourite saying from Grandad, One of, was always, at this time of year. You'd go, oh, look, the sun's out.

It goes, yeah, yeah, it's all right through the window. Yeah. And it's true. It's lovely. Through the window, but it's still cold. It's just nice though, isn't it? See the sun. And the sky, even tonight, we was looking for the moon because James is obsessed.

So I was looking up. And I was like, what time was it? Maybe quarter six. And it was beautifully blue. There was not a cloud. Yes. Nice, yeah. It's getting there.

And when we go to Leeds, we gain an hour, don't we? Oh, is that then? Oh, thank God that is. No, it's not. We're springing. Yes, it is. Oh, maybe Bristol then. No, yeah.

It's the end of the month. However, we're not, you know, we're springing. So it's going to be lovely. Gain an hour. No, we lose an hour. Lose an hour. She is full of shit. Spring forward, fall back.

I mean that we gain the light is what I meant. Oh, yeah, we, yeah, fine. Yeah. It makes a difference. So it's going to be like half past seven. To be fair, last year, we were, it was lovely, wasn't it, early doors? We had an early summer. When?

Last year. We did, yes, we did. It was great. I can't remember. I can't remember that. Yeah, because I was on. I was buzzing, mate. Yeah, see, I always feel...

I was off when, end of April, was it? I always feel, though, that I can never, ever remember what it was like last year. No, I usually can't. The only reason I remember is because I was off. The best one we had was it during COVID. It was March. I was sunbathing. It weren't too dissimilar last year, L.

Promise you. I'm not sure. Yeah, it was. Do some research or something. Yeah, I'll have a look back at the old men. memoirs. No one. I mean,

Google. I am going to talk a little bit about book club before we move on to the Ix. Go for it. Guys, I am sorry

that you didn't get a book club pod. Things have been really busy. I did say, I posted on my Instagram to say,

I'm really sorry. I've given you the new book of the month. Thank you for your reviews. I only got a few if I'm honest with you.

I think everyone's been busy this month. But look, let's get back on it for March. I know we're We're quite into March, I know. But look, I've bought you.

Oh, no. I've bought you. I'm like quadruple parked at the moment. I know, but this is meant to be, you know, I thought for Easter and all that, but it's meant to be fantastically funny. It was recommended by a listener. And she said she started it and she sat one sitting and she finished it. Oh, I love it.

I'm going to get right into this, I promise you. Let's do it. So let's do it. And then we can do a nice book club. pod. Deal? Yeah, deal. Good.

Wait, how long have I got? I'll let you all know in case you haven't seen the photo. Can't we do this? Emily Austin, everyone in this room will someday be dead. True debt. There we go. Can we not do this until end of April? Because we've got Easter holidays.

Just a lot going on. Because it is mid-March. Where are we? No? Should we see how we get on? We'll see how we get on. Yeah, there's no pressure, I think. I did, I got a recommendation from,

one of our lovely listeners, which I did bite at the airport and didn't even read a line. Slags? Slags. It's not like that. It's not, I don't know what it's about. It's about two friends, apparently, very light-hearted. It's not like that. What, not about slags?

Maybe they are. Who knows? Well, find out. I think we should maybe do that. Okay, lovely. But let's do this. Because it was a recommendation and I want to keep people happy, sounds like a cracker.

Let's get on with it. Excellent. Now, we're moving on to it. but I'm going to start with two icks that really I thought were quite brave icks because they're not about words, they're about people. Perfect. So we're now, we're spreading the net. We're casting the net.

It's not just words, it's just whatever gives you the ick. Hi, Nat and the nieces, just listen to your latest pod and the question you ended on was, well, this also ties in with the advert discussion because the boy, in the on the beach advert drives me insane. I'm sure he's a lovely lad in real life, but honestly, when I see him stuffing into the food,

poncing through the airport, and just generally being an ass, I want to kill him. That's one irritating face. Imagine if you got sat next to him and his family on the plane. Genuinely would have to hold myself back from taking a swipe at him.

I now turn it over as soon as it comes on. I can't freaking stand the sight of him. Anita from Norfolk. Brilliant. I apologise to the young lad who, like I say, I'm sure a very nice young man in real life, you've had a go at his face in his life. No, but Anita, what I have to say...

No, it is expressions, and you can tell that he's really hamming it up and he's a very, very good little actor. It's the whole family for me and every time, and I said it to Jack, not that long ago, like they are just such a typical, like, holiday family with all their stuff. It was like the Lee Evan.

It's like the Lee Evan's sketch, isn't it? Rock off, I'm on the holidays. Aggravating. I'm with you on that. I totally get that. Very good. So that, that was a big one for me. For me, it is actually the word,

I don't know. I fucking hate it. Oh, I'll give you the ick. No, it just winds me up. What is that? That really does annoy me. I agree with you. I hate it.

I hate it. I will never use it. Maybe I do. No, I don't. I don't like it. I don't like the word. I had a nick today on the tube. Can we stop saying it?

Can we just say, wind you up? You had a situation, spooky. Do you know what that's from? What is it? Situation spuggy? I mean, I'm completely... It was Baker Grove. Oh shit, that's what I meant.

Great chill. Terrible, terrible, Georgie accent, so it's not your fault. It's not your fault at all. I was speaking out and dick and, yeah. I was on the tube today. And... On the road again. Everyone was sitting.

down, so I stood up and then we stopped at a stop and then a few people got up and people sat down and I don't, I think it's fine. I'm happy I'll stand and then I was standing right next to a chair one lady got up when I tell you this guy, younger guy, not as young as me or maybe a bit younger, run and sat in that seat, I thought you're fucking icky. I don't want to say the word because I hate it, but it's not really an ick, you're just moaning, that's like parent and child. No, that's icky. What is?

That you've not, you've run. He is. He is. He is. He is. He gets a rat, like the desperation when there's older women on the train or just ladies, International Women's Day week. Like, no, just, you could just see he was, and I could see he was like, and I knew

exactly what he was doing. Not icky. Bicky. Oh, no, but it is. All that stuff makes me, oh. No, it's not good at all. Not good. Here's another one.

This is from Wu in Goring. In response to what word or person makes you want to vomit, for me, it is Dermaleri. I love that bloke. He comes across as funny, chill, etc. And I like his presenting style. But as soon as he starts dancing, my top lip curls, my teeth start to.

to itch and my gut has the major ick my skin starts crawling i can't hope what the hell is up with that flappy left arm repeatedly clicking his fingers whilst the right hand stays wedged in his pocket it's not even funny dad dancing it's something my brain can't make sense of just sit down dermot sit the fuck down and look pretty so for me dermot dancing turns my stomach that's brilliant you've said it how it is that is brilliant very good Dermot always does an Instagram video dancing because he does radio 2 in the morning and I love Dermott

He's a fellow Guna He's a great guy So I am going to disagree with you, whoa because Dermott is a favourite of mine That's reminding me of how do you remember You probably haven't seen it When you know the Jennifer Hudson show in America Oh I know what you're going to say

When they all When they walk through No but there's a certain someone that did it And it was gross Who was it? Um, come on I don't think any of them are very good. Oh no, some of them are really good.

They was good. Yeah, no, some of them are amazing, but... Simon Cowell. Oh, Simon Cowell was sickening. Yeah, it was sickening. Oh, he's a bit icky, and he, though. Well, you just had no rhythm and he... Oh, it was so sickening.

So, yeah, I get it. I get that, really good. That is funny, that thing. Oh, I love it. Oh, it's brilliant. If you do it, though, you have to go in. Oh, you got it. go in.

There's no half-heartedness. You'd be like, who-who, who-who, who-who. No, you'd just have to go in, won't you? Yeah, you would. It's so good. My favorite one was Pen, Pen-Bagley. How do I say his name? Pem-Badgley.

Pen-Baddley. Don't know him, no. Yes, you do. You, in you. Oh, yes, yeah, yeah. I didn't know if you'd seen it. Yeah, I do. He's excellent.

Have you heard him sing, by the way? No. Oh, my goodness, I'm going to send it to you after. Good? It's ridiculous. Such talented people. around. Mad.

This is a cracker. Just listen to your latest Nat's nieces. There's one word that makes me cringe. Bitty. Oh. No, no, it gets worse. When my daughter was born,

I breastfed her and my partner's parents came to stay with us when she was one week old, which was way too fucking soon with a newborn baby anyway. We didn't have a spare room so they stayed in our lounge

so there was no avoiding them for fuck sake. but every time my daughter cried or I fed her, my partner's dad would say, ah, she wants Bitty. Oh, my. Bitty. No, no, no, no.

What fucking made me sick inside every time. I'm going to keep it anonymous just in case of any arguments. That's fucking brilliant. That's, that's, you're father in law. No, thank you. No, that's not normal. It's like, what's his name? The horse racing man.

He used to call Bitty, didn't he? I'm Big Brother. Oh, John McEwen. No, you can't be saying that. You've had a newborn baby. No, that is gross. I think you better have a conversation about that. I'm not comfortable with that.

I'm sorry, listener. I would say one of the biggest things for me is when... The biggest what? Thing, yes. Is someone pronouncing, continuing to pronounce something wrong. So I used to say to someone, Oh yeah, I'm going to Zumba tonight. And they say Zumba.

But I'm like, and actually the instructors call it Zumba. So I know I'm right, but I'm saying it. No, I know. I get it. It's a little bit like mum when we say Icos. And she says, Icos. No. I completely agree with you.

The other one is Ariana. Ariana. People who have known her for four years. Oh, really? who I'm having meetings and I'm talking and they go Ariana and I got Ariana and they go so Ariana Yeah no it's annoying

It drives me mad so yes But that it's the pronunciation When someone is clearly keeps saying it to you And you just pronounce it wrong I don't Yeah I don't get it We've got quite a lot to discuss From Dear Cat

I'm going to play both her messages Because both are very valid Hey now it's Kat here Elias Powell lifelong fan of the pod and the Cassidy's overall. It's a Friday night. I've just finished listening to the pod of Nat's nieces. I have had a couple of Vinoes, so forgive me.

I loved the cliffhanger. And Elia will well know that I hate the words poorly and tummy, particularly when used together. I've got a poorly tummy. Oh, have you got a poorly tummy? It's hideous, particularly when referring to adults, can't come out. I've got a poorly tummy. Oh, have you got a poorly tummy?

No, that is reserved for small children only. Can you imagine saying, oh, me and Mark come out. Mark's got a poorly tummy. It's gross, it's hideous, it's ghastly, it's just awful. Awful, awful, awful. So you can say, I've got a bad stomach. You know, I've got a sore belly, but not a poorly tummy. That is reserved for children alone.

Very good. I agree. So, yeah, really enjoyed that. Can't wait to hear everyone else's gross words. And, yeah, love the pod. Love you a long time. Bye-bye. Brilliant.

Love cat. Yeah, that is hilarious. If a man was to say, I've got a poorly tummy, he needs running over. It's not cute. It's not cute at all. It needs to go and live with his own. mom, I completely agree with her about that. It's really eye opening actually, because it's

giving me a lot more icks. Yeah, which is... It's a shame. This is our other one, which is fantastic. The other one I can't stand is when people say, the math ain't mathing, or, oh, wow, your hair is herring, or, oh, that dress is dressing. Maybe it's because I'm not a Gen Z, but The math ain't math thing. I just, I just can't. I just can't. She fully, fully got stuck in, didn't she with her, you know? Definitely, original.

But that is so true. Yeah. The sun is sunning. No, it's not. It's fucking shining. What about, what about? Boy did good. I hate it.

Oh, that is gross. Boy did good. It's like at work. I think you've, But see, Boydard did good to me can be a little bit camp. I don't know. It depends. It depends who's saying it.

Yeah. If Pasti said that to me, I'd be like, yeah, you know. Probably wouldn't. But do you know what I mean? I think it all depends. But he's referring to, like, the dates or the gifts or the gifts. And, like, putting up a bunch of flowers and that boy did good. Oh, no.

I probably did it circa 10 years ago. But, you know. It's like at work, when we used to do this thing called best and worse, so we used to have to show products. So if you're talking about your products, your dress, and she'll go, so she did 29 units and he did 110 units. Oh. Did that annoy you, yeah.

Who the fuck is she? It's a fucking shoe. What do you mean? But it's weird how they change the gender of the item, and there's no real any, there's no real reasoning behind it. So it's just, it's the funny. me. Although if I like someone's handbag, I could say she's nice.

There you go. I would do that. There you go. I'd go, she's a bit of all right. Would you go? Yeah. But that's very camp. Yeah.

Again, I think that's quite coming to like. It depends on the situation, but I would go, excuse me, where'd you get her from? If I was talking to a gay man or a drug artist. Yes, exactly. Fair enough. I want some. You haven't said any of your words. I'm intrigued.

It's just what's coming up, to be honest. Flaccid. Flaccid, I don't know. Yeah, that is a grim word. Blamange. Oh, I like that. Oh, it's horrible word. No, but it doesn't make you...

Blamon. I don't like hum. That hums. I don't like using that in that term, at all. You say hums. I do not fucking say hums. I have never heard her say hums. Absolutely not.

Oh, I don't know. You just, I just think of a bad breath. I might be a hun, but I don't like hum. You don't like what? I like hum. Now we've got bundles, look, listen to this. Good morning, Matt. Excuse the voice, I think croaky's morning.

It's Lisa from Derby. Finally got brave enough to send you a voice note. And we've all just laughed at her. Just wanted to say about my word that I can't stand. It makes me feel a bit creepy and sick. It's panties. Nobody should ever call knickers, pants, undies, whatever you want to call them. should ever call them panties. It's just too pervy, creepy, dirty old manny. No, makes me shudder.

Also, the word moist. I know a lot of people can't stand that. Don't bother me too much. But moist panties? No, no, no, in the bin. Anyway, loving the pod. Love hearing you and the girls and Mark and Tony and Linney and everyone. It's brilliant. Been listening since day one. Speak to you soon. Bye. Lisa, you are a regular, regular messenger. Your first voice note, well done you. I don't think you were meant to say moist panties. And I really hope that if they were moist panties,

they would go in the bin. She said that can get in the bin. You can sell them, my boys. Just sell them. People put them in plastic bags and sell them, don't they? Absolutely. I'm just trying to think. I feel like, oh my God.

I know it. I've got one. The worst one. The worst one. Go on. And I've been trying to think of it. And it's come from the workplace. And it's if I said, oh, you know, and then she sent the email and she said,

Hi, how are you? Yada, yada, yada, yada. Yada, yada. That is disgusting. And I hate it. Yada yada. I've never heard that. Have you not?

Yada, yada. Must be office talk. Yeah. Oh, it makes my skin crawl. There's a lot of office talk. I don't like that. I don't like. happy Monday

It's not for me. It's not for me at all. It's jargon. It is bullshit. We used to have some mad ones. Indy said, just listening to today's ep with the nieces, the word gristle.

Oh! Crime against humanity. Also, I used to not be able to hear the word stew or satchel without wanting to vom. But I've grown out of that now and I can bear them. So indie doesn't like gristle. And gristle is one of those words where it sounds like what it is. On a matapia.

Thank you. What about pus? Nah. That gristle sounds what it eat. I love that. On a matapier. I don't think of no, like gristle in your nose. Yeah, no.

I think of fat on beef. factually. Yeah, I think of the... And it really upsets me because you can't eat it. If you get a good bit of fat you can eat it. If it's gristly, you can't eat it.

Good. She's very upsetting. Georgina's one? Oh yes, of course. It was... Minge. And apparently anything that rhymes with

Minge, bing, hinge, hinge, fringe. Fringe. Singe. Fringe. Are you going to the Edinburgh? Fringe. Minge don't bother me. Mimge are moist.

Muff. Muff's a bit. Oh, it don't really make me feel away. Nah. Yaddy, yada. Oh, that makes my skin crawl. It does. It was great to connect tonight, guys.
