Starting point is 00:00:00 Wow, what do you think of that? What don't you think of that? Well I think that girl has got everything she needs. They're mainly all little. So we'd pile through a little more than we normally would. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Have you seen this whole thing about the Snow White? No. Oh, it's mate. What?
Starting point is 00:00:27 They've like lost money and everything because Snow White herself, the actress, is quite woke. Oh, okay. So she's ruined the whole story. She's like, I won't be rescued by the prince. Ew. And, uh. I'm pretty sure that's what happens though though isn't it? Yeah. So they've
Starting point is 00:00:46 just changed the story? They've changed the whole story and nobody is interested and then the seven dwarfs are AI instead of using dwarfs or little people whatever they prefer to be called now. I don't think you're allowed to call them little people. Oh I'm not sure what it is. Either way dwarfism, somebody with dwarfism should have played the part and that community's pissed off. Why use AI when there's perfectly good actors? They didn't want to offend anybody. But they have. Massively. Yeah. And not only have they offended those people. People are so bothered about not offending people that they're actually offending people by not offending people.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Exactly. Because actually you're not. And Snow White herself is like, and then she went on, and I think it was a Bible quote, those that watch me in my time and then watch me. And it was like, OK, cray cray, calm down. In the actual film? No.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Oh. They won't let her do any red carpets or anything. She's like really upsetting everyone. Wow. Yeah. Maybe I will go see it then. No, I won't go see it. There's nothing about it that interests me. The idea makes me feel a bit right so then she went to a cinema obviously it was empty with about four people and she went with her mates and then they were doing snapchats it's my night and it's like bruv it's not going well for you I'm here to tell you it's not going well for you so yeah I've been like mate stop talking stop it you just you keep making it worse every time you open your mouth you're making
Starting point is 00:02:30 it worse. No I haven't watched anything on it I knew it was coming out. Yeah it was it's got like a two star. In my head I was just like why fix something that isn't broke. Listen I believe that they say that that is the fairy tale. I feel like it was the first, I can't remember exactly, but it saved Disney at the time. Like it saved Disney, that fairy tale itself. So, and now it's all different. And now it's just fucked it up.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Yeah. Matters. I don't need no men. Oh, good for you. It's like, relax. Stick to the story. it's not about you yeah I don't know if I fully remember the whole story of Snow White I was so young. You ruined it for me. I did yeah why they don't say hi ho soft way we go no no no yeah she also doesn't say mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all even though she did but she didn't anyway I
Starting point is 00:03:31 forgotten about that I hope I hope you ruin my life oh but it's not how weird is no because when they go to work they sing yourself to work we go yeah when they're coming home they say it's it's home from work we go yeah yeah that's how I remember no they've changed it I think the weirdest part is me and me fuck you and see that Johnny Cornell fuck you too yeah on the wall who's the fairest of them all? All day long. Apparently not Snow White anymore. Mate. Yeah she's been cancelled. She is too woke for her own good. She's too woke. Too woke. Yeah. And it's like why are you so angry? Who hurt you? Honestly. Yeah. I just...
Starting point is 00:04:28 Nobody, probably, she's just got a fucking chip on her shoulder. She's very angry. Very angry. She'd watch, just go and TikTok later and have a little troll through. And she's how old? I don't know. Like 25? Well she's got no right to be angry.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Get to 41, then you might be able to be angry about something. She's very, very angry. And it's like, stop being so angry. And if you are that angry, maybe don't do Disney. Or, if you do, if you have changed up the film, fine, but do it with a positive attitude. Instead of, those men! Do you know know what I mean did you not just work with seven oh no they aided it because actually that's probably why because she was not willing to work with seven men it's so weird I don't know why they'd AI if you're turning the fantasy into
Starting point is 00:05:18 reality it might as well AI other than when they had to AI things like erm... The fucking fish in Little Mermaid, there's no need to AI humans, is there? No, there's plenty of those. That's what I mean, that's what I said to you, like, when we talk about Twilight. The only thing that bothered me with the last film is it was so clearly an AI child that it just ruined it. Yeah, but there's not many devil babies really is there? Yeah but it wasn't a devil baby. I feel like there's not many um, vampires slash human babies. Yeah but there's no AI ones. Especially when the technology's not there. I don't know why people keep trying to do rad and crap man. It definitely weren't there then. No, and that's why it looked so fake. I was like, you're just ruining that excellent film.
Starting point is 00:06:08 That it was excellent, babe, the last one. Me and Harry were like, FAKE! I only watched the first one and then I thought, Yeah, I'm never gonna watch this again. When I watched the podcast, Ever. Because that reminded me of the podcast, our podcast, this week.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And I was like, ha ha ha ha ha! With all the stories I was telling you. I was fucking laughing, I was like, ha ha ha ha! Even if no one else finds it funny. Nobody, nobody. We were all like, okay, yeah. She's having a moment, let her have it. It finding it funny. Nobody, nobody. We were all like, okay, yeah. She's having a moment, let her have it. It was so funny, best date ever.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Is the way I was so excited telling you as well. I was like. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Did you keep on watching it? Okay, yes, because I was like, relax. You were like, I'm too tired for you. I was fine before that, before the story's ended in my head. Honestly.
Starting point is 00:07:17 When we were around Jen's earlier. I can't even remember why it was triggered. We said something and then my mind went, oh my god. This one time in band camp, but I was around Jen's earlier and Jen's mum said something and then on my mind went oh my god this one time in Bangham but I was around Jenna's earlier and Jenna's mum said something about the home phone and then I fucking spilled off the number they were like oh my god and I was like yeah because I dialed it so much and we were doing it all I remember oh dear anyway let's get to it. Ready? Wait, wait, hang on, what are we doing first?
Starting point is 00:07:47 Craig's. Oh okay, fine. Because I feel like bride sealer is always more... Energetic. Yeah. I need that to finish the opening. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:57 You clicked then. And my wrist? Yeah. And you see this wrist? I don't know. I don't know. I feel like I can see a weird little bubble lump here. Here? Yeah. Yeah. Can you see this wrist, I don't know, I feel like I can see a weird little bubble lump here. Here? Yeah, yeah. Can you see?
Starting point is 00:08:09 I keep getting a shooting pain there. Turn, turn. That way. My arm. You can, yeah. Slightly, slightly. Yeah, see, puff it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Right there. It looks green. I keep getting a shooting pain. You got a bruise. Oh, it's all my veins. Very, very purpley green wrists. purpley green wrists. But right there, I keep getting a shooting pain and I don't know what it is. And then I'm like great I've got arthritis, that's it. That's probably a 10-21, that's it done. Look at this. The cupcake did that. I think
Starting point is 00:08:43 she'd come up with a plan, heard me and went okay. Now the shop on the end was a tattoo shop, it's not that a tattoo shop anymore. I didn't. I don't know whoever's got it now, they've put a sign up, I can't remember what sign's called, but in the shop they've completely gutted it, they've repainted it by the looks, there's a bean bag and a little trolley thing. There's a little ginger cat living in there he's living in the shop is he being fit there's a couple of bowls there so someone must be either coming every day or they're in the
Starting point is 00:09:15 basement I don't really know okay we'll keep an eye yeah but if we walk past we've looked at me and he's like leg dangling down off his and Cassie went Oh this distinguished gentleman He really did He really was like He's here But yeah, so look she's plotting now Listen, I wouldn't put nothing past that cat. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You need to remind her who feeds her
Starting point is 00:09:42 She's like yeah dad will still be here Well, he might not. Yeah, he might be putting in that house. Anyway. I don't think the boys are gonna remember to feed her. I don't know, Alfie like fucking dotes on her, doesn't he? I'm gonna have to unplug that for a second. Alfie proper dotes on her.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I love her and I'm like like can you just leave her alone? I love her. Before she like killed you, she's like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uh yeah and I'm like well because I wasn't ready.

And I've got a dog poop bag in my pocket.
Starting point is 00:10:34 See what I'm saying, look, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Ready? Sure. Yeah? Right. Hello everyone, and welcome to Middle Aged Opinion. I am your host Ellie. And I'm your host Emily.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And today we are looking at the, I wanna say Craig David now and that ain't it? We're not looking at Craig David. Craigy David. Craigy David. Craig, Craig list. Craig list.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Craig's list. Craig's list. Craig's list. Craig's List. If you're English it's Craig. If you're American it's Craig. So it's Craig's List. All over the world. It's Craig's List now. Craig's List. Craig's List. Craig's List. I didn't know what that was, but to my knowledge now, it is a sales site, a webpage, app, thing. Anything, anything. Including yourself. Anything was being sold.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yes, including yourself. Including wolfs, wolf pups. There you go. Some random lizard I come across. I want a wolf. I read it and basically put a picture of this wolf yeah and said what dog do you think this is he's been home three to I've I'm the third rehime he's had I bought him for a hundred dollars and do you look and go mate that's a wolf that's a wolf yeah so I was actually
Starting point is 00:12:00 when I initially said to em this is the part that I wanted to do today, I wanted to go on the darker side and found that there wasn't as many dark stories I was hoping for. Might be something wrong with me. Anyway, I still found some good stories, but not as exciting as I thought it was going to be, but we hope you enjoy it nevertheless. Nevertheless. Right, so I'm gonna start, yeah? Yeah. I gave a scammer my address, how fucked am I? Discussion. Right, I feel so humiliated, but I gave some person on Craigslist
Starting point is 00:12:39 my address and number. Some person. Just some rando. Some person. But we do that on Facebook, babe. I'm not on it. okay. don't give my address out I'm gonna give your address out. I was excited because they were looking to rehome their dogs and they wanted to see our home which seems normal because I'd like to know where my dogs are going. they had
Starting point is 00:13:01 a local area code so I didn't really think twice about it. They asked about my family and home. I told them that I stay home alone most of the day and that I am pregnant. I'm scared they'll come to my house and kill me or something. How fucked am I? I mean, have they now disappeared off the web page? because then maybe I'd be really fucking scared. She does do another explaining. If that was going on I'd be like yeah I'm fucked. I'm fucked. But like you said like generally that sounds like the right thing to do when you're rehoming
Starting point is 00:13:39 an animal. Right. And it's a responsible thing to do isn't it when you're you're selling that and it sounds normal to me I would expect admittedly who I bought Hattie up off they didn't come to inspect me no but obviously they met me and they were happy well they got a good vibe yeah they were happy and the puppies obviously were happy to sort of be around me too I don't know I honestly think you know talking about just dogs that you never know who you're selling puppies obviously were happy to sort of be around me too. I don't know. I honestly think, you know, talking about just dogs that you never know who you're selling your dogs to.
Starting point is 00:14:09 That was part of the reason I thought I'm never going to breed Cookie because I would be worried constantly about where her babies were. Do you know what I mean? It's like when Cupcake had her kittens I was comfortable with you having it because I knew first of all it was going to be fine because I I know you but anyone else for me would have been difficult do you know what I mean yeah and anyway so somebody the top comment says how do you know there were scammers though so OP does reply go on it's kind of hard to explain after they scheduled to meet me at my house they had asked for my address and
Starting point is 00:14:45 I gave it to them. Then they claimed that they had sent the message about meeting up to the wrong person and that they were not going to meet up with me. They had also asked if I was going to be out of town soon for the summer which seemed weird I tried calling the number and it went to some weird answering machine they try to redirect me she's fucked right it sounds like they're scaling up the joint. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's not okay. Yeah, she does answer people, but I think they're, for this one that I wanted to read, I think they're the most, this is saying,
Starting point is 00:15:35 because we've done scams before, but this feels more like, girl, you're in trouble. Predators. That's what it feels like to me, like either a robbery or a weirdo Something but it's it feels quite scary. Yeah, I'd be terrified already drive by her place Yeah already and that stupidly she said I'm here on my own. Yeah. Yeah I'd be like, oh I live with my five rugby player brothers who don't work
Starting point is 00:16:06 You know, I mean? I think that's a warning to everyone. When I say like selling on Facebook. You don't give out that personal information. It feels normal when selling a dog though to me. Those are normal questions. Who's going to be at home with the dog? Rally, rah rah.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Do you see what I mean? Yeah. Who lives in the property. I mean because I want to say like when I've sold on Facebook before and they've come to pick it up, obviously it's never questions about who lives with me or anything like that because there's no need for that and straight away I'd be like why are you asking me that? But if I was buying a dog and I'd be like oh this is who lives at home this is when they're home do you see what I mean and to me that would also feel normal so maybe let's not get our dogs on Craigslist you don't know who the fuck you're talking to babe that's scary it is a little bit scary yeah oh my god right over to you my love okay I'm gonna start with this one so so this came up on Craigslist but it also has come under petty revenge. Oh I like it. Yeah. So this one said, oh it's right to my legs.
Starting point is 00:17:28 You know the law. Oh you went too big. No I never go too big. That's what she said. No I've never gone big. Anyway, didn't get paid from... Didn't get paid from... Now visualizing your work please. Sorry, you put it in my head. Okay, not too big with you, go. Didn't get paid from a painter from Craig... Craiglist. Craiglist.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Craiglist. Looks like Craiglist to me. Anyway, Craig's List. So I set my computer to an auto dial his phone for three days. Excellent. Years ago. Wonderful. Yeah. How do we do it?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Like this. Years ago when there was only flip phones, I worked for a week for this guy off Craig's List. Eight or ten hours a day for seven straight days he dropped off $37 at my house with a nasty note saying I was a shitty painter and didn't even deserve the $37 I can't remember my hourly rate but I know it was more than a few cents an hour right so this dude Had mentioned he had arguments with his girlfriend about constantly calling and leaving messages because he would still
Starting point is 00:18:54 incur incur a Charge in kill yeah incur a charge. That's like back in the day Yeah, yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That just made it so much better. Yeah, yeah. It's back in the day, mate. So my body had a PC with a modem and set it up. Do people even know what a modem is these days? Yeah, dial up telephone from the home phone. Yeah. So my body had a PC with a modem and set it up to dial the guy's phone for three straight days and leave a message for two seconds and hang up then re-dial. Amazing. I wish I knew what his bill was by the end. Amazing, amazing. That's brilliant. I wish we could do that now
Starting point is 00:19:37 and they'd get a charge. Yeah most of us have like free income and outgoing calls now don't we? It's all free now isn't it? I pay £10 a month. Yeah we don't want to talk about that. Yeah, £15 sorry I've just upped it. Excellent! Brilliant! Go on. Well the first comment was tell us about what he did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Because they were saying, you know I did something like this once. Back when payphones were still around and pages, wow we're talking about like... I like it though we're reminiscing yeah... around pages were... where... hold on... around and pages were the in thing my dad had a handyman business. We would get charged each time someone paged him so he only gave the number to special clients. One day he comes home and he is fuming mad. He said that he got a page and pulled over to use a pay phone and called the number expecting it to be one of his clients. It was not. It was someone who set up an auto dial on their own PC and would call pager numbers
Starting point is 00:20:51 and put it in a number. When you called the number it was an advertisement for their company. It would play the advertisement and then say leave a message if you want more info I told dad that we will we'll fight fire with fire and set up a PC to call that number on repeat and when it answered it would play a sound file you are an idiot ha ha ha ha I said I said it to repeat and we went out to dinner when we came back a couple of hours later the computer was getting a busy signal when dialing I filled up that guy's answer machine I waited a few days and called the number again and left a message that
Starting point is 00:21:44 said if he ever auto dials people's pages again I'll I'll make sure his number never can be used and I'll even call his main line for his company and fill that up to You cost people money when you do that amazing. So I'm sorry like I remember that audio with high-pitched voice right? Yeah well that's what you get, that's what you get. It's worrying me. I just can't see it illuminating. Hello. There you go. I just, I don't know. It made you. Can you talk? I can talk. I've tried my best to talk the whole time. No you have been talking. I have been talking I just I don't know if we okay. I did do the sound checks. That should be fine moving on. Okay. Okay
Starting point is 00:22:32 It's just normally you worry. Yeah. No, I can see it. Okay. Yeah This is excellent pretty pay revenge and well deserved. Yeah, we like we do. I like that. that no I do like it I like it when people take it to that level next level well because if that's how you're gonna behave that's what you're gonna get you know I mean yeah I mean oh my god I never had a pager I never had a pager I didn't get a mobile when I was 16 though mind you I might be 14 15 so you had one at school I might been a little bit older I'm I've been six 15 16 I feel like that is when we all started to get the mobiles because the first one's I definitely I definitely had what I didn't have like a Nokia. No. But that like we didn't, we could not afford it. My dad still got
Starting point is 00:23:30 his Nokia. Oh really? Yeah it's still got 99% battery. No but he does, he still has his Nokia which is the you know the techs you have to put in and all that. Yeah they brought, they brought the Nokia again didn't they but it just didn't take off No, the thing is though, babe, you can't deny they were built like bricks. Yeah Helen was the first one that had a phone out of us a lot I had a flip. I feel like my first time was a flip phone Motorola or something but that's what I think my remember we were out in Croydon and like some girls like Look at that girl with her brick and then Helen was like
Starting point is 00:24:06 I think no, you didn't call her her a girl I think they called her a pigeon because she's so equal. Look at that pigeon with her brick. Was she mortified? We were all mortified. Were you like you can't sit with us? like mean girls. No, we just went, you know, we used to go shopping. Well, we didn't even go shopping, we just went around the shops. Who was she talking to? Hello?
Starting point is 00:24:33 It's me. No, she went and talking on it. I think she was just holding it because it was so big and infinite. Remember when you had to pull the aerial up. Yeah. Hello? It was like that's not funny.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It was I! Text took 45 minutes. And you had to paint per text. Yeah. Yeah, no, I like that one. Right, are we ready? Yeah. Six, right, so this is an advert itself from Craigslist, yeah?
Starting point is 00:25:00 600 pound homeboy opportunity in clean respectful home. I have a furnished studio room. It's clean, drug free, pet free, home available for the right guy. It is a private living space. I'm seeking to rent to a male only who is interested in houseboy arrangements. You should be naturally submissive, able to follow some basic rules, do some regular chores and don't mind taking orders occasionally. This is a mutual respectful non-sexual agreement. You will be treated as a house boy. I am a mature, educated, professional male located in North Setley area.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Rent can be negotiated depending on the arrangement. Maybe you need to get back on your feet and save some money. Short term or temporary situation is okay too. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, drop me a line and tell me a little bit more about yourself and the type of situation you are looking for. I was going to say what's a homeboy and now I don't feel like you know. Did you Google it? No I just don't feel like you know what a homeboy is. Yeah it's a submissive isn't it? Wow. So did anyone respond? So I don't know it doesn't go
Starting point is 00:26:40 on to say that it's just somebody's found this and is like what the fuck so the top comment is standard houseboy procedures and then the next one is nothing to see here and then somebody said this is a mutual respectful non-sexual arrangement. Maybe OP is being genuine, but to me the term houseboy does not conjure up to SFW ideas. I've no idea what SFW is, do a quick google. This This just screams either human traffic car or a potential What was it? SFW or a potential abusive relationship. Let's see what FSW is before. Safer Work does not conjoin with a Safer Work ideas. No, no.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And then I'll just read one more. I thought the same I just showed everyone my tits you're welcome, bare with me bra. Throw my thumbs up there, follow if you liked. Right, hold on. I thought the same another possibility is that it is a sexual nature but Craigslist won't allow those posts. He similarly brings it up during an in-person interview which makes more sense to me. So it feels dodgy and I say don't rent that room so I mean I found it I liked it I read it over to you non-sexual but has to be submissive it's it it's a dominance you know like an S&M thing that's what it's giving to me anyway I feel like it is a um yeah it is a but if you're not allowed to specifically just say exactly what you want on Craigslist and that makes sense doesn't it it's like those
Starting point is 00:28:51 it's like that subreddit that you had us do you have to be over 18 to be able to view the post on there which makes sense but that is one way around it and then obviously if he goes for the interview, it's gonna be, because you know, some kids will be like, okay, so I ain't gotta do nothing, but you know, put a pinny on and clean. They're gonna get there and then he's gonna be like, zip my dick!
Starting point is 00:29:14 So. In a pig costume. Yeah. Or dressed as a baby. Daddy, daddy, cha! Oh, god, Ellie. I'm there's something mentally wrong with me. Okay go on. Okay yeah Craig's List but also come under confessions. I was a Craig's List whore when it was a thing. Fair play. Just out of high school, young college student lived alone
Starting point is 00:29:47 but would fall in the pressure of wanting more people interaction mixed with my abnormally high sexual desires. I posted an ad on craigslist where it was a thing. where it was a thing. Surprised and thrilled at the response I posted more elaborate ads with pics. Met one guy, was so nervous but went amazing. Oh I remember the pain as well but it was overshadowed by pleasures then another a week later and then the following before long i was meeting over 250 guys in the span of a year wow i always tested and the nurses at my clinic Sandra! How are the kids? Then I had a scare and pulled myself out of the lifestyle even though a lot of sexual friends and couples were continuing to reach out. I still slide back now and then but my current responsibility is keep me busy there's a little edit time.
Starting point is 00:31:06 And I don't have a problem with it I actually don't if that's what she wants to do I don't have a problem with that like you do you do you know I mean I feel like she sounds really young I just feel like there are safer ways she sounds like a nymphomaniac and there's safer ways to get your rocks off right? It's quite worrying that she's meeting randoms from Craigslist and I think it doesn't sound like she's being very safe either. It doesn't sound like she's being safe at all. Like I'm talking about condoms and stuff because she's having to have regular checks. Listen I have no problem with her doing what she wants to do I really I really don't I do feel like they're safer ways than an ad on Craigslist. Look at my vag and have sex with me I feel like an app would be better
Starting point is 00:31:57 because surely they've got more details of the people that you're meeting up with right? You would think. I don't know. Okay go on what's on reddit. Right, got a lot of requests to see the pics posted back then so I'll post them on my profile. Shut the fuck up, you know we're looking. Also, I'm a Native American girl and have a huge thing for white guys history history related so that i think so that i think played a part of it uh interracial i was just like oh okay go on her profile before you read the top comment we won't be showing you this oh it's been suspended before that reaction was yeah yeah not not we saw her badge yeah it's been suspended! Before that reaction was suspended, not we can see.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Not we saw her badge, yeah. She's been suspended and that is because of the pictures. Okay, so she can be the second one. She went a little bit too far. Listen, I won't be in a lesbian, I just was interested in seeing. You know, we're looking, like I'm desperate to see. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Top comment is, such a shame Craigslist died.
Starting point is 00:33:10 That was by far the best hookup site of all time. I agree, it was great while it lasted. Why did it end? It's not a thing in my country, but I am curious how a platform changed like that. Because people were dying because there was murderers on Craigslist. Yeah there were traffickers posting children on the site. And murderers. Yeah I always felt they used it as the excuse and didn't want people making money off of sex work even
Starting point is 00:33:42 Tumblr. That's how you say it, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For a moment, wouldn't allow anything NSFW. Not say full work. After that passed. Okay. It's not a bad thing. I think there's so many safe,
Starting point is 00:34:00 I don't think there's anything wrong with hookups. I just think you have to be careful. No, and there are loads of sites that are now designed for that. Yeah, I just think no and there are loads of sites that are now designed for yeah I just think be careful guys. Come on like seriously people are fucking weird If you're not getting that from the stories we read, I don't know what's happening I mean, I knew that before we read these stories. I just didn't know how bad things were. Do you know I mean? Right. Are we ready? Yeah, okay
Starting point is 00:34:24 What's your worst Craigslist meetup transition story? I was living in Jacksonville, Florida and sold a Sea-Doo to a guy in Atlanta. What's a Sea-Doo? You're gonna have to google it. I'm assuming it's some sort of boat that goes on water. What's the CD? You're gonna have to google it. I'm assuming it's some sort of boat that goes on water. All right. Okay. The ad said pick up only but he agreed to pay me a hundred pounds if I could meet him halfway in Clifton GA. It was about a two and a half hour ride but I was okay to meet him as at the gas station there. When I arrived he said he wanted to run in run it at the local lake to make sure it was as advertised. I agreed and we went to the park and put the sea dew in the water. He and his asshole son ran the sea dew for over an hour burning through the whole tank of gas
Starting point is 00:35:28 before returning to the dock, telling me they decided they wanted a boat and drove off. They didn't pay for the Sea-Doo, my gas or give me the £100 for my driving 5 hour round trip. I googled his name and discovered that he owned a pizza shop in Atlanta suburbs. A few weeks later I placed a phony order for 50 pizzas going to a business launch party on Christmas Eve. I gave him my 800 number so he wouldn't be suspicious. He called me twice to verify the order and the address. I told him that I would pay him with a company check and the bill was around 600 pounds. When he and his two drivers called to tell me that they were outside and couldn't find me I told him that I had changed my mind and I was at the lake
Starting point is 00:36:30 Clifton riding my C-du so they know who it was! amazing! yeah that's what you fucking get he should have at least given him the wanna. he should have at least given him the wanna then that that would have been like no I've changed my mind I want fish and chips. fucking hilarious. I wouldn't have let them know who I was. can you imagine I've changed my mind about the Clifton riding my Seadoo. Seadoo? Brilliant I don't know why I did Australia I'm so sorry I've already told the one
Starting point is 00:37:12 podcast we're going on I went I'm really sorry yeah but I've got a thing about Australian accents I think I'm Australian anyway and someone said I really hope that this is true because it's hilarious. I didn't do it to be funny, I wanted to cost the prick money. So, oh man, only thing better than pizza is some freshly served justice. I liked that. Pizza's pretty good. Pizza's pretty good. One from Iceland anyway.
Starting point is 00:37:49 They were all sold out this week. So we got just the cheese ones. Not as good. It's not as good. Tastes funny. It's something, I don't mind the cheese one but it's something about the Margarita hot dog pizza that is fucking banging. I will literally sit and eat the whole thing to myself. It disgusting no it's great it's great though it's a great pizza and then you're eating like yeah but there's not one bit of it that isn't nice but crafts then oh anyway go on and then I've got one to finish us off. Okay, so. Oh no, I've actually got a funny going on. Don't fucking give it to me. Yeah, I ain't got time to be sick. Don't you worry.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Oh, that's quite big. She has to really expand that, guys. Like really like inflate those letters. So shut your face, that's rude. All right, shut your cake up. It's also rude. I mean Pile? What do you want me to say to you? Go on. Hush your beak. Hush your beak!
Starting point is 00:38:56 Do you think we're immature? No Not even a little bit Who told you that? Nobody told me that, I'm just curious. When I was putting on my mascara earlier, it was Shannon and I noticed all these lines, and I was like... No, it was Shannon. Why did you do that? Because I was imagining doing my mascara.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Because when we were talking to each other, I was like, how is that? Why does everyone do that? Why? But we do. But I don't. Face. It's like a come face, isn't it? Sorry, Mum. Why?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Did you have listened to the podcast? Come twice! Erm... Yeah. Sorry. It's when you need windscreen wipers for your glasses. Anyway. No, why?
Starting point is 00:40:04 I've got something to say now. Yes. What's the matter with you Yes, so when I was doing so Paul's talking at me and I was doing my mascara. Yeah. And I noticed all these crow feet and I was like, sometimes I don't think I look old. Like sometimes when we do the TikToks and nothing, okay, I don't look that old. And then I feel that and I'm like if I just turn really old all of a sudden and I'm not noticing or I'm only noticing sometimes I'm being very serious. I don't know what to say to you I don't know because I watched that that Twilight one we did and my face looks like it's connected. Whereas I don't.
Starting point is 00:40:45 No, because you've got a nice filter on it, because you're glittery and beautiful. Even without the filter. I mean, you can try it, but I wasn't going, how many shucks you've had? I was just, I feel like he is better on me, but here, and then whatever's fucking happening here is like no you're doing all right you think I'm all right see I think you're all right
Starting point is 00:41:10 you're doing fine okay but you just scared me a little bit earlier so I was like I get these they come all the way around when I was doing my mascara I was like sorry sorry, sorry, when did that happen? Because it wasn't there yesterday. Who invited you? Yeah, what is that about? It might have been because Paul was talking to me and I was just like... You were like screw face.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Nobody cares! Are you still here? Yeah, I was talking to him, why are you in the lounge? Right, sorry, back to Craigslist. To the Redditors who use Craigslist have you ever arranged to meet up with someone to buy an item and it went terribly wrong? No. I haven't. Me neither but it's just chill. Yeah yeah. And then it says any creepos try to get you to take a ride in their van they turn out to be a serial killer and you barely escaped you thought you were buying something while they

What the fuck? She was genuinely overwhelmed and had no idea how to take care of the problem. And they were all in great. Houses are all, they don't care. I gave her the phone number for a small animal rescue. They removed all the hamsters i adopted two peanut and teeny bean teeny bean had a massive facial tumor one black eye and one white eye he was born without one I was with the same guy! Sorry!

You can give me another another one and when I've got one more for you So funny open already And I'd rather Why does it do that I'd rather have a hamster infestation than a rat mouse roach infestation Guess what's for dinner?
Starting point is 00:46:21 That's so unkind Hamsters are essentially do you aren't they like a mouse essentially? Essentially. If you like. Yeah. They're bigger than mice. So obviously the cats bring in mice from the field so they're not... Someone asked for a picture of Teenie Bean because I mean I would like to see that too but apparently she doesn't have any. Oh she's embarrassed. I looked through my pictures and I can't find any of him with the facial tumour because he didn't develop that until he was about a year old. Oh. And the white eye isn't visible in my photo because he kept that eye closed. I thought so!
Starting point is 00:47:08 It's an eye patch! He's just sent a picture! It's an eye patch. I don't know if you're open. My computer don't like opening pictures for some reason. Yeah, because it's frightened. It's frightened. That was an amazing story. That really was an amazing story.

He told me to meet him at the Walmart, not far from my school, so I went after school day. He told me that morning that he had a cherry red Mustang,
Starting point is 00:48:17 and to meet him at three o'clock. I pulled into the Walmart, and there has to be three or four cop cars around a cherry red Mustang the guy was sitting in on the curb while they took out a bunch of shit from his car He had like two pounds of Mario Marijuana Marijuana on him and just and some other stuff. was sad I really wanted the N64. Oh bless him. Didn't get it. But it was a good deal as well. Right are you ready? I'm gonna finish us off. Top comment was should have gone up to the cops and said hey I think that guy stole my N64. Did you find one in the car? Could you imagine? That would have been hilarious.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah we've got it. Get in here boys. Yeah. Thank you. Right. Right, what are your Craigslist horror stories? Um, I haven't seen this question in a while, hope to see some news stories. Our house was up for sale and suddenly appeared on Craigslist. The rent, for rent by an unknown person. We had people showing up at random hours asking to see the house and driving by and calling our realtor wanting to know the rental information. It turns out it was a ring of people who were pretending to rent the property and take the money. When people would show up to move in they would discover that they had just thought that this was their house.
Starting point is 00:50:08 We had to file a police report and post signs in our doors notifying that our home was up for sale and the rental listing was a scam. Bad innit? Do you know that scam goes on now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. On Facebook. People actually rocking up to move in. Yeah. So they paid the deposit to these people, they're given the address, it's the day to move in,
Starting point is 00:50:33 and then they discover that's actually still going on. That's mad that they've done that and not even gone to view the house as well. What is, yeah, because the thing is babe, because it's so difficult to rent now, people are desperate. Some people are just literally moving across country, this looks nice, let's move here. But someone was like, is this a scam on Facebook? Not that long ago. And it was like, yes love, do not send that person money. They're like, oh just send the deposit and you can just move straight in. And it's like, bruv.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, move straight in. The keys are under the mat. Yeah, I just finished on that one. Wow! Yeah, bad, didn't it? I mean, it is a real thing. I have seen ones like that too. Oh, that was my favourite one, the hamster one tonight. That was hilarious. Made me fucking cry. But yeah, so that's it. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:51:24 You're still happy. Don't advertise on shit. Don't buy off a thing like that. Don't tell people who you are, who you live with, any of that shit. And if so, I say lie a bit more, innit? Yeah, just hold a little bit of information back. Yeah. And at the end of the day, stranger danger is a real thing.
