Honestly, you've absolutely smashed it. Can't believe it. top podcasters brilliant that's great honestly you've absolutely smashed it can't believe it it was a nice week wasn't it when I lasted being at number one

you still are on one I probably won't be by the time this comes out fair dues I mean it's amazing to be quite honest with you

I never thought I'd be I genuinely thought we'd start this I didn't have a clue where I'd be in the chart. So to be there was amazing. Yeah, it's brilliant.

And everyone's loving it. So I'm just going to keep cracking on with it. Yeah, no, the response has been amazing. It's been lovely. Like everyone, even for me, just like people that I haven't spoke to in ages, reaching out, just saying we've loved it. Yeah, I've had the same few messages from people that, yeah, not spoken to me.

I love this bit. We got a text from Fedeltor all the way from Italy. Ah, did you? He was listening to it in the car and he was picking out a few bits and laughing. Was he? Yeah, it's lovely. Ah, it's good, isn't it?

Really nice. I bumped into a guy at work and he made me laugh because he was like, you came across really, what was the word he used? Not eloquent. Pronounced. You were really pronounced. I thought that name. You didn't really swear a lot.

You weren't as aggressive as you usually are. I mean, yeah, he's right. He is right. Who is he? Let's get him on the pod. To be fair, you did come across really nice. Talking of Ferruccio in Italy, I've had loads and loads of people from Australia.

Oh, really? Yeah, New Zealand and Australia. I don't know why, but you just think that's mad, isn't it? And I've got these messages and they're like, hi, I'm just going down the beach or whatever, and you think, oh, I'm in bed, leave me alone. You know, time difference is a bit of a problem. Emma, have you got the voice note there from

sean hi nat i'm sean as you can tell from my accent i'm originally from melbourne australia been here two years now after meeting my lovely partner chris i just wanted to say how much i adore your podcast and how much you've meant to me over the years um i battle with a pretty debilitating chronic lung condition and the last couple of years have been really tough for me and your down to earth videos have been such a tonic and such a bleak time. And your podcast makes me feel like I'm just having a cuppa and sharing a piece of cake with you. And that's made me feel far less alone and makes me think that the world can be a funnier and brighter place. So that's been really lovely.

And also, fun fact, me and my partner are actually moving to Southend from London later in the year, and he suggested I take you up the pier. I thought he was being cheeky initially, but then I realised what he meant. So I'm tentatively bookmarking you for some chips by the pier sometime. Take care, darling, and congratulations. Amazing. It's so lovely. So cute. So good, isn't it?

It's made me feel a bit emotional. No, it's brilliant, and we're going to keep in touch, and when me and Em go down to the pier, like I said, to do some... Shall we take you up the pier? Longest pleasure pier in Europe, I believe, or something like that. That's what we're always told, so... It is. Well, it will be for now.

Long old pleasure pier with Sean. No, I'm looking forward to it be great i got back to him didn't i didn't i send him one back yeah i've got got your reply sean hi darling it's so lovely that you and chris listen um i'm so sorry that you've been through so much um over the last couple of years but i'm pleased that i can put a smile on your face you can take me up the pier anytime, dear. I look forward to trips in the summer. Now keep in touch.

Take care. So, yeah, that's one Aussie fan and we've had some from New Zealand. But I tell you what, girls, I've now got this thing, right, where I can log in and see who's listening. It is amazing. It's very addictive. You've kept that one quiet.

Yeah, no, and I haven't... Genuinely, Mark's had a look at it and I haven't been... I've not logged in on the laptop i'm useless m's just sent me this this is mad right oh what from where they are from where they are so you mean that individual people no genuinely this is what i want to tell you so we've got 92 percent of listeners are listening in the uk then ireland's doing well on about two and a half. So Australia, over 1,200 people have downloaded. France, we've got 264 listeners.

Nice. May we, may we. Bonnet de douche and all that. Mange too. Last night, I had breaded chicken. I made my own potato wedges, and I had half a packet of mange tout. I love mange tout.

I love mange tout. I think it's one of my favourite veg. I agree. It is underrated, actually. I don't buy it that much. A little bit of butter, a little bit of salt, lovely. Yeah, no, I've got a lot of time for it. I would go as far as saying that mange tout has overtaken my French bean love.

Yeah, I agree. I'm with you. I think the flavour's nicer. It's very versatile very versatile yeah i can get on board with that yeah you should start buying them no i do when i eat it i really like it but it's never one that i think to buy i like putting it in like um because you can work them in a curry or a yeah or like a ramen thing stuff like that I would I would never

cook a ramen at home a ramen why I've never in my life thought of cooking I just that bores me to tears

that sort of thing it's so good really lovely when you're out nice if you're out have a bowl of ramen talking of ramen I've got to tell you my Wagamama story.

Go on. Went out Saturday with Joni. Eliza and her friend went off doing a little bit of shopping. So I thought, what are we going to do? Because she didn't really want to go out, but Eliza did. So this is what you get

when you've got a seven-year-old and a 13-year-old. So I said, you go off, have a little shop. I said, come on, Joni, we'll go to lunch together so went to Wagamama's now I'm not a some people are obsessed

aren't they never been no I used to go more I've not been in here I'm not sure but it's not something I know

so I get in there you sit down I'm looking at the menu I'm not just I'm just not sure in there do you know what I mean very very it was really really busy in there

sit down order our bits and pieces and then Joanie wants the toilet at the menu. I'm just not sure in there. Do you know what I mean? Very, very, it was really, really busy in there. Sit down, order our bits and pieces and then Joanie wants the toilet. So, I've got a coat, no bag, keys on the table. I thought,

well, I can't just leave that there. Do you know what I mean? Why wouldn't you leave your coat? Because it had my car keys in the pocket. Take your car keys out. Yeah, I didn't. Didn't do that. I find that so weird.

But why would you leave your coat it's your seat why do you want to go with your coat to the toilet you're going to the toilet you ain't got to take your coat off just leave the coat yeah actually you're in a restaurant that's a bit weird is it would you pick your coat up and take it with you to the toilet if you were in a really fancy restaurant well the wagon mommas are sort of like benches aren't they if you're in another restaurant you can sort of hook it on the back but you just lay it across the bed across the bench i don't get it i wouldn't be sitting in my coat on but go on yeah well anyway there we go so i went to the toilet came back walked down the aisle really busy family of four sitting on our table

just staring in your food just staring at me and then obviously I think the lady recognised who I was, so that was a bit awkward. And then I said, oh, this is where we're sitting. And the man went, oh, well, they've just sat us here. I said, well, we've ordered food and stuff, but nothing's come yet. And they just sort of were staring at me. I thought, what do I do here? And then there was other people staring over at me.

I thought, I don't need this. They write on your placemat, don't they? Exactly. So all the writing was on. And then I was other people staring over at me. I thought, I don't need this. They write on your placemat, don't they? Exactly. So all the writing was on. And then I've gone, thanks for remembering, you've reminded me. I've then gone, no, look, if you look at the placemat, the writing's on there. There was no writing on there. So it actually looked like I was lying.

Oh, my goodness. So anyway, the bloke come over. I said, I'm really sorry. I said, but I was sat here. And then they apologized. So they sat us around the other side every bit of food that come out was freezing cold where they were taking it to the table the wrong table that would really warm me up a little fact for you here else there's one person in monaco that has listened jimbo jimbo out there at the moment? No, no, no, I was thinking maybe

I've got one from Zimbabwe I've got one in Uganda This is excellent I've got one from Brunei Wow, how many in Italy then? Oh, Italy, 126 people Nice Nice

Let's have a listen to this. Hello, Nat. It's Lucy here. I love the pod. I think it's fucking brilliant. Best thing ever. Anyway, I've been at the hospital all day with my little girl, my baby. Drives me fucking mad, it has.

Just sitting there waiting waiting waiting anyway everything's fine I've got home I've put my kid to bed and just laid there listening to the pod and I love it

that's what you should tell me often put the podcast on never done things like that fucking blinded I absolutely love Lucy. Yeah, she's class. I wonder if she'll come in and talk to me because I think she's probably going to have a lot of opinions about things and she'll be

funny. But it's alright when she swears and when I swear I get told off. Sick of it to be honest. You can do what you like. No, I know. It's just ways of swearing, isn't it? Yeah, but it just suits her, that's what I'm saying. That was punctuation of swearing isn't it yeah but she it just suits her that's what I'm saying

that was punctuation swearing wasn't it exactly and she sent me this as well which I like I'd normally be

watching MasterChef as it goes this time of night and I I put the telly on and I thought oh no fuck it I need to listen to Nat

so poor old John and Greg have got second place to you. That's what I like to hear. I like to bump people off of, you know what I mean? I mean, I love a bit of MasterChef. A little buttery biscuit base. But I do, I think it's nice. Do it, do it.

That toasty base, that nutty base. We were obsessed with that. I'll tell you what's nice. People are saying that they're switching off their tellies and just having a listen to my podcast, which is nice, because it's nice that you said that, Maria, didn't you, the other day? I did. That you like to go to bed now with one.

Yeah, I don't watch TV in bed. I must say, as much as I enjoy that, I do feel like I'm missing out on watching things, like she just said about MasterChef, and I've completely missed that, and I love Master do feel like I'm missing out on watching things like she just said about MasterChef and I've completely missed that and I love MasterChef I'm devastated

yeah I know what you're saying but when am I going to watch it I know but be honest it's not time relevant is it just chuck it all up on iPlayer

Okay, well, look, we'll see how it goes. I had a lovely lady called Christine get in touch, Maria, talking about your nickname, Roro.

me up also reminded me of a particular queuing road rage incident on a friday lunch time whilst battling to get off the island and go into Seinos petrol station. Where are you? Seinos. Seinos. What's Seinos? Sainsbury's. Is that like a Greek island? Sainsbury's.

Sainsbury's. Greek island. Seinos. I thought, as I was reading it, I thought, she's battling to get off an island in Spain, listening to Mother West. What's going on? She's just getting some petrol from Seinos.

Oh, I see. I've never heard Sainsbury's called Seinos. I mean, I've written in our group chat this morning, ATB, and I've got Maria going, what's that? I would not have known what it was. It sounds like a bank. Yeah. All the best. Oh, yeah, it's strange. But also, what context was that? It didn't even make sense. That's why I didn't get what it was. Why are you being rude to Gabby?

ATB, all the best for what? Oh, I thought you meant Gabby's message had no content. I thought, don't start slugging off the voice notes and the messages.

It did make sense but I won't go into it. It's boring. Is that finished? No, I was just going to say that it was from Gabby. So thank you, Gabby. Sorry, I didn't know

what Sanos was. I didn't know what Sanos was. Not a Greek island of Sanos. I genuinely thought she was battling to get off an island. Where is she? Where's Seinos? I thought it might be off of, yeah, off of Greece or something.

It's next to Argos. It's next to Argos. Argos. Argos and Ichelende. Tesco. Morosons. Lovely islands. And Marquesan

Espencero oh love it this time of year oh beautiful down there beautiful they've got a lovely all inclusive

and couldn't wait for the next one to come out that's amazing and how many messages have we had I can't read them all out how many podcast

virgins have we had that have never listened before yeah it's crazy so many so many I think maybe me and Els have got most of your listeners. Not Natalie's 470,000 Instagram followers.

Natalie, when you hit 500 followers, I mean 500,000, half a mil, we can get you some balloons for the room and stuff. That would be nice. Yeah, no, I don't like balloons. I'm not interested. Maria loves a balloon. She loves a balloon.

I was going to get you one for number one. I was just going to get you a one, but I didn't. I don't like balloons. I'm not like you. I think they're a waste of money. I love a balloon. I mean, they're all right for a party. Yeah, she didn't say no last year

with the balloon wall she don't like balloons oh no I like the balloon walls and all that for a party that's nice but to just have a random balloon at home what's the point Maria is obsessed

The homework was to draw a picture of a snooze-a-tron from Wallace and Gromit.

It's like an invention. And just label it. Label it up on the pad. No, not Joni. She wanted to make it. Yeah, she wants to make it. So we go to Hobbycraft. She's buying all the stuff.

I mean, she's amazing. In her head, she knows exactly what she needs for it.'re in there saw some lovely ladies in there had a little photo definitely takes after her dad oh she loves making stuff her little brain she's oh she'll have a little she'll be out in that workshop with him before long so anyway we've bought all the stuff we've come home maria you'll know because you haven't got a kid yet this is for you all to come you know you get the little paints in the craft boxes. But when you take the lid off, you've got the little plug. Do you know what I mean, Em?

Seal, like an air seal. An air seal. Thank you, Emma. I mean, I'm alive. Yeah, sorry. I've come across that, you know. I haven't got kids and I've managed to work it out. I was going to say, Em.

Yeah, sorry. Yeah, of course. Everyone uses paint, not just kids. I just thought it was like the cheap, you know, little paints, but no, you're right. So it had an air seal. Right? So I've got all the paints. Seven o'clock, Saturday night.

She's still making this thing, right? Done most of it. Mark's cooking a curry. Lovely. He's doing the dinner. I'm sort of, you know, all over the place, number one and all that. A bit excited. Having a little gin and tonic. I've gone to open this paint pot.

I'm sitting at the island in my kitchen. The island of Senos. Very good. Ba-dum-ba-woosh. I've squeezed this paint. Well, it has exploded with such force, it has splattered all over the ceiling. Oh, wow. What colour was it?

Purple. It splattered all over the ceiling. Mark's just looked at me. It's all over the island, all over my candle, my big black diptych candle, right over to the floor. I mean, the whole thing is everywhere. And I've looked up at him and I went, oh, just do us a favour, just do a little video and just get a picture of it.

He went, not everything's for the podcast. I've got to paint the fucking ceiling. It's Saturday night and I've got to paint the ceiling. But I did get a picture of him with a roller painting the ceiling at nine o'clock at night. Oh, bloke. But the first thing, when something happens This is it, everything you do.

You think, that'll be good for the pod. Content. That'll be good for the pod. Good content, innit? What colour are you opening next? Which colour are we going for? Should we put that as a poll? Instagram poll? I'll tell you something. If it were to happen,

my ceiling would just look like a Jackson Pollock painting because I don't think Mark's going to wipe it all off and paint it again. That's for sure. Even Jack said it the other day. Did he? Something happened and I could have killed him

and he went, oh yeah, it'd be good for the pod though. The get out clause. At least it's content. Yeah, when you've got something up there, you can just say, oh, it'd be good for the pod though. The get out clause. At least it's content. Yeah, when you fuck something up though, you can just say, oh,

it'd be good for the pod. Yeah, no, exactly that. That's exactly what it was. Imagine the reach on that though, the audience on that. Yeah.

How many likes do you think we're going to get? I can't thank you both enough for taking your time out. No, because come on. Thank us for what? It is a lot sometimes. No, but it's a lot, you know, fitting it into your day and coming over and talking to me and that.

I really appreciate it. It's lovely. Well, yeah, we would pop over anyway. Yeah, I know, but this has been consuming. We do need a night where we don't talk about podcasts at all. All I would really like to do, because it hasn't happened for quite some time. Games night.

Just a games night. Me too. Please, no children. I've got no interest in the kids running around. Our games night should be filmed because that is something else. They are good nights. We are very competitive. Natalie couldn't be any far removed from that.

In fact, no one wants to be on her team because she doesn't give a shit so that's why everyone's like who's Natalie going to go with because she just doesn't care or she's too pissed and that's happened

on occasions not so much anymore or she's too pissed and we're playing human buckaroo on Natalie oh my god tell them about the buckaroo

tell them about that please no we'll share the picture that's what. No, we'll share the picture. That's what we'll do. I'll share the picture after the ep. This is how it works, please. Do the story. There's nothing to tell.

There's no story. You got absolutely hammered because you were down in tequila. Tequila? Tequila. This was Nat's second birthday celebrations, wasn't it? Here we go. Emma, you haven't seen this. No.

Yeah, so Natalie decided to open a bottle of tequila, keep swigging from it, and, yeah, fell asleep on the chair next to me. Basically, the photo consists of me placing three bananas on her, a can of Coke, a white crock, and and some sort of is that like a cuddly toy it's like a weird version of the generation game and she didn't move throughout the whole the whole thing stayed absolutely sound asleep throughout all of it i do like a good kip once i've had a drink don't i yeah you like to fall asleep at tables and i don't do that i'm i don't like getting drunk anymore and then

i've forgotten oh this was the best bit right so this is what happened and you'll love this we so natalie had fallen asleep um oh yeah about one o'clock i will share the photos we then pretended to play Monopoly but basically what we did is we set up Mark had got Monopoly out set it all up

we put money in Natalie's hands we put out that she had a couple of cards and the next day we told her that we all played Monopoly and she played

and she was like I don't remember one bit of that they said what are you talking about it was really good but and she was like, I don't remember one bit of that. They said, what are you talking about? It was really good. We went on Frasier's. I said, I remember nothing to do with Monopoly. But Nat, you had money in your hand.

Look, you were playing and she's like, I can't remember. Oh, we are mean, aren't we? We're cruel. We do pick on you, but it's your own fault. It wasn't just Monopoly. You got another game out as well. You got Articulate out. So Mark kept saying...

Oh no, Yartsy. Yartsy. We said we played Yartsy. And Articulate, look. Oh yeah, so we basically said

that we had to play Articulate. We probably was playing Articulate. When you fell asleep. Oh right, I fell asleep. No, we did actually say that we'd played

like three or four games and Nat was like, I don't remember playing any of them oh that was that was really good she's checking herself into rehab thinking she's

blacked out again just yeah no absolutely anyway I've got to go because some of us have to have a job and got to work but lovely to see you both

So this is from David, and I really liked it. Hi, Nat. It's David from Trereloggin in North Wales loving the podcast by the way very very funny I was however today informed that under no

I've just got home from a day working in London and I have listened to your first four episodes back to back. Bloody hell. And can I just say i absolutely love it and i want to thank you really thank you because like you i feel the pain of only being able to listen to the sexy and relatable duo uh twice a week and I definitely get withdrawal symptoms. So having your little podcast on a Thursday fills the gap slightly between Tuesday and Friday. So that's great. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep being sexier and relatable, which I think is what you should be.

It's really good to listen to someone who, like others have said, feels like you're listening to your best friend. I turned 50 this year. I'm going through a divorce and I've decided to do some things that I wouldn't have done before. And I would love to set up a podcast. So this is really good for me to hear that, you know, you've been thinking about it and now you've finally done it. Congrats on being number one as well. Keep going. You're doing a brilliant job. Lots of love. Bye. So nice, isn't it?

Yes, go for it, girl. So, so, so, listen. This is exciting stuff, right? So Parents in Hell with Rob and Josh comes out Tuesdays, Fridays. Now, I've been throwing in a few bonuses on Mondays. That's not definite that it's always going to be on a Monday, but whilst I've got the material, we're whacking them out. So it means people that love parenting hell,

Tuesdays, Fridays, I'm filling in the week with a Monday and a Thursday. Happy days. It's working really well, that. What do you reckon, Em? You're like the support act coming out the day before. Monday and a Thursday. Happy days. It's working really well, that. What do you reckon, Em? You're like the support act coming out the day before. Little warm-up. With a headliner.

Very nice. It's very, very good, that. I think we should do something about that, you know, get it out there. Because if we can get half of their listeners, we're sorted, aren't we? Oh, yeah. Because they're major major aren't they huge huge time no it's the big time it's the big time massive and they mention me i did mention you i don't know it's exciting when someone big time mentions you i know it's good

it's really good hello nat i'm sean and i've just listened to your week four podcast. Again, like quite a lot of the ladies that I've just heard chatting to you, I don't do podcasts. I'm a bit of a dinosaur like that. So I don't know if I have subscribed to your podcast. I did the pod follow, but I couldn't see anywhere where I could subscribe. So hopefully I am somewhere in there for you listening because I found you on Instagram not that long ago either and loved watching you so much that I'm I have still in contact
