This week on Origins is KSI. I did boxing as a joke, if that makes sense. So, no, continue. Did you and Tommy Fury become friends?

BBC Sounds music radio podcasts. This episode of Miss Me contains very strong language and adult themes and stories of living with people you can't bloody stand. Kate, you ready? I see the red light. Oh, I don't see a red light.

Red light. Oh my God, you heard that Sting doesn't think that breath you take isn't about being a stalker. That blew my mind. Do you mean like that's actually completely reframed my view on Sting. I thought it was about a stalker. He comes out, I think that's a sign of affection. Every breath you take, you creep. And welcome to Listen Bitch. We'll be discussing. I'm not bringing Sting down.

I'm not bringing Sting down, I love Sting. Please blow my mind, other than the tantric sex thing, that seems fun. No, he's got so much more to him than both these things. He's a great man, I believe. So here we are, Listen bitch, me and Jordan, who I don't wanna lie to anyone, we are being paid for this.

We're paid to do this. Really? That's the truth. I didn't actually know that, that's great. So sweet of you coming. Yeah. But there are other ways that freelance broadcasters make money, you got to.

And voiceovers are a really untapped world. Yeah. Oh, voiceover work is wonderful work. If you can get it when you get it. I know you've got it. You've had it before you do voiceovers. I did a voiceover job once and a woman walked in, right? This is like, this is, I was sat and waiting to get taken to the studio. The door rushes open, right? A woman walks in and overalls little bag, right? And she points and goes, the usual, like that, right? She goes, the usual. Wades past with an air of, honestly, a regal air, right? I've gone, oh my God. Okay, she's got the usual. She'd gone to the studio. I've turned to the woman and go, who's that? And she goes, voice of

Lidl. Yeah, see, see, hierarchy lives in all sides. She's been the voice of Lidl for like six years. Yeah, but what a gig. What a gig. I'm not joking. She walked in peppermint tea, the usual, bro. 200k a year or something. These people don't know.

You know me. Get me my tea, please. I'm here three times a week. boys little on prices motherfucker. Give me my Let's hear your voice over voice. You did a gym one didn't you anything you want from a gym find it? I Can't say and I did I did go Dunder go Questions on a card if you know where. I did a voice over for five years, which paid for a lot of my homes and today we're talking about flatmates. So don't tell us we can't

segue. Let's get the first question for today's Listen Bitch. The theme is flatmates. Hi Makita. My name is Erin. I'm originally from Stockport. I'm currently in Thailand. I'm originally from Stockport, I'm currently in Thailand. And my question for you regarding flatmates is, is there anything that you were kind of shocked to see about how other people live when you first got flatmates or, you know, maybe certain skills that you took for granted that some people hadn't acquired by adulthood? For example, I lived with a girl in the second year of uni, she was probably 21, and I realized she didn't know how to wash a plate. She would just put fairy liquid onto a plate and then wipe it off with kitchen roll.

And I was absolutely horrified. So is there anything like that where you were just like, oh my god, we are so different. Not everybody's household is the same. Thank you. Love you guys. No, that's skanky. I'm sorry. Can we just say she? Put a pin in that. She. What do you mean? Well, I don't know. Sometimes I feel like domestic disorganisation

gets thrown into the boy box. Yes. A girl splurred fairy liquid and wiped it off with one wipe, what the fuck? Actually, my best experience was living with two boys. Vibes. But I was really pleasantly surprised about the way they wanted the house to be looked after.

We all wanted to keep it really clean. And it was my best, now that I've gone through the whole list of how many flatmates I've ever had. How many flatmates do you think I've had? You Yes 15 15 minimum 23 you've had 20 and interestingly

That's the amount of fibroids that were taken out of my body Coincidence I don't think so. Does that include the polyamorous commune of Indy Sleeves bags that you stayed in? Actually, it was always my house, remember? Because I did, when I was young, always, I was on with money. So I didn't have to like go live with loads of people. I just- But listen, but the question was, what's the worst thing you've seen? Or shocking? What was the most shocking thing you've seen of all those 23 housemates? Come on. Come on. My behaviour throughout a lot of these houses was probably the most shocking I've seen.

No. Makita, I'm surprised that you don't have an answer. Are you protecting someone? Yes. Yes. Yes. In short, I witnessed a crime. Very much so. My husband came a crime scene with one flatmate and I don't want to do that to her. Okay. Because she was going through a lot, but fucking hell it can get bad. And you, et toi? Et toi? I've actually not had that many flatmates. I've had one, two, three. Yeah. So like, like 10. Yeah, yeah. Not that many. Not that many. But I had a flatmate who was an actor.

From, no I'm just. He is, he's popping at the moment. What did he do? I thought that was quite good, that flatmate situation. He used to just scream from his bedroom because he'd be practicing lines. So every time I would be like, you know, trying to make something in the kitchen,

I'd hear this guy running through an audition piece, but he'd be, what do you want to do? What's the tone? It's all or no. Yeah, because he mainly plays like loads to make something in the kitchen I'd hear this guy running through an audition piece but it'd be yeah because he mainly plays like loads of like weird fucked up characters it's not like he's like auditioning for the new cinderella film oh oh yeah he has range listen he's like a good looking white boy he was auditioning for fucking everything yeah no I remember he's doing very well now yeah well I don't think that's a story that can't be told. I mean, the thing is, the great thing about talking about flatmates is we're really talking about like when things are happening in your life and sharing that time with each other. Anyway, I think we get it.

Let's move on to the next question. Let's have a second question for this week's Listen Bitch. Hello, hello. My name is Cameron. I'm from Bangor in Ireland, but I'm actually going to be moving back to London within the next few months for work. So the theme this week could not have dropped at a better time for me. Guys, I'm shitting myself. I'm very nervous about living with strangers again. And part of that is because I'm quite a direct person. I love when people are direct with me. If there's something that I'm doing that's annoying,

tell me. If there's something you need from me, tell me. Because then I can fix it or I can do it or I can keep it in mind for the future just to make it easier for all of us to coexist together. But what I don't respond well to is passive aggression or when someone's not direct and they're just sort of giving weird energy because if where I'm living is

not a good vibe that affects everything for me, it gets me quite anxious and then I get angry because I don't feel comfortable in my own home. So I guess my question for you both is if you have any advice on how to navigate conflicts when you're living with people or if you've had experiences of conflict with people you live with that's ended on a positive note, hopefully. Anyway, big love to you both. I love the podcast. It really, really gets me through my week. So big love and all the best. Many experiences with things ending terribly. No advice because I just had to think about all of them today because I knew we were talking about it and I was

like, wow, I think there are two that didn't end in disaster. And I think really essentially because we're talking about relationships and breakups. That's what they are. Do you hate confrontation as well. Do I? Yeah. If something's bugging you, what are you going to say? Direct?

Live and direct? I'm just thinking, yeah, I don't. You're going to AJ Tracey to someone's face? I feel like I, no, I don't. I feel like you'd rather sidestep it. People please that. I have dealt with real passive aggressive bitches that I've had to live with, like really hardcore stuff.

And yeah, I was upset with myself for how far I let those situations go and start tiptoeing around your own house and worried about the level of sound the kettle makes and that dealing with banging doors and sullen faces. And yeah, I found that already traumatic actually. I didn't live with anyone again after that experience.

Yeah, I don't, that's a really tough one, isn't it? I guess your response, his responsibility, our responsibility, my responsibility would be to just be clear, lead by example. Tell someone how you feel. Communication. Yeah, like if someone else isn't communicating, it doesn't mean we have to follow suit. We can be direct and understand that, you know,

it's probably a more effective way to deal with disagreements. I think it's because you're all in this house together. So it's like, it's just like the stakes are so high, I think. So it's like, we need to have a conversation, but like if it doesn't go well, what the fuck are we going to do? Because we live together. Like, I've only really lived with like strangers. And one point where the revolving door of a room in a flat, or a three bed I was living in in London Fields, we started like getting strangers

to move into it. And it just was disastrous and too much partying happened. But no one could say anything because it was just like, but what are we going to do? We'll all move out. So it just got worse and worse and worse. That's what it's like. It's just everything festers when it's like flatmate hell because no one wants to deal with it because then you're like, well, what's the outcome? I'm not leaving and neither are you. So we are just going to have to figure this out. It's part of compromise. It's just one of those things you got to do. Compromise and communicate.

We've got to learn to negotiate, man. Honestly. Ah, that's actually right. No, you're right. It's actually about negotiation. Yeah, because I'm thinking particularly of like that house in London Fields. Everyone was in their 30s. So everyone wanted a different experience. Like I wanted to still party. And so did the other girl.

But the other girl had just got a boyfriend and wanted to have like Saturdays at home where she could cook and watch telly. It's like, that's nice, but you don't live alone. Basically when partners move in, it's all fucked. It's just all fucked without a conversation. Facts. I've been on both sides of that. Do you want to ask the next question, babe? Next question, please.

Hi, Meketa and Jordan. Thank you so much, Jordan, for stepping in to miss me. I love your responses to all of our questions. My question is about flatmates. I had like, I was friends with someone and then I lived with them and now I'm no longer friends with them. So I want to know, do you think that being best friends with someone means that you can live together?

What changes when you live with someone? And do you think it's always a good idea? Do you think friends or being like close to someone necessarily means that they'd be good to live with? Love you guys. This is an interesting question because I don't know what's right because I lived with Phoebe Oliver and that was also fantastic, fantastic, ended in kind of disaster.

And then I've lived with strangers, fantastic, disaster. I think what you need is a good friend of someone you really love. I think that's about close enough, and that's about enough trust is already kind of laid down because it's like, this is blah blah's friend. I know that I trust them to pick a good person as their friend. I always dreamt of living with my besties. Do you know what I mean? When I did that, I had a moment when it was like me, Harley and two other mates

and that was actually hell on earth. But it was... Where did you live? In Islington. It was a house with no living room. It was just four bedrooms, four 20-year-old boys stinking the whole place up, and then eventually illegally subletting it for six months. But it was ridiculous.

We didn't know how to live. We didn't know what to do. Constant partying. But that's the best. Yeah, it was good. It was just like, you know, unhygienic and surreal. I think like the most vivid image I have of that first house was there was a bowl of super noodles just on the floor in the corridor with three batteries in it

for so long. And it was almost like the batteries were just like, everyone was like, well, I'll probably just leave that there then. So skanky. It's like, why, why, why? I really believe if there hadn't been batteries there, then people would have, someone would have taken that and hold upstairs, but the batteries were just like, there must be something else going on.

It must be an art installation. There must be something else going on. There must be something important going on here. Um, 20s is when it's dreamy. It's like, oh my God, this is our house. We have no rules. And in my case, we had some money in the bank. Me and my cousin Phoebe, we were like,

okay, we got this fat flat. I think it could be great. Again, I think we're gonna get these questions a lot. I think ultimately, the really rubbish thing about being a human being is that we have to try and compromise and negotiate whenever we come into these power exchanges in any kind of relationship. Like really and truly, why would we approach living with a best friend any differently

to living with a partner? Exactly. It's the same exchange. Kind of, isn't it? I mean, it's a battle for space, battle for different types of ways to be. Someone might like something like this, someone might like something like that. And I guess, you know, it depends on, it literally just depends on how willing we are to let go of our own shit and how willing they are. Yeah. And that's what you realise that not many people are willing to let go of their

shit very often. Yeah, it's wild. Like after a four month fight about who, which half of the sofa each girl owned, I was like, yeah, I'm never living with people again. Which part of the sofa each girl owned. I was like, yeah, I'm never living with people again. Was part of the sofa? Uh-huh. Oh my, that is, that's, that's... Uh-huh.

That is... It was like, do you know what? That's fucking insane. When did we lose the ability just to be cooperative? It's fucking nuts. Well, any space where you're sharing that kind of personal exchange with people over and over and over again. I think power plays come up often and I think a lot of times, I can't believe you want to take power. Obviously it's all mine. It's like, well, why wouldn't she?

Everyone believes they're the most powerful person. I just think, look, people got different strengths, yeah? If you live in a household, you work to your strengths. You try to create balance, yeah? If you're a tidy person, don't moan about people who are messy. Just be tidy. This is what I feel I don't get, like, I might be tidy, but I'm tidy slower than you.

So if you're prepared to leave that for another week, I will be tidy. If you want it tidied right now, then just tidy it. Why don't you complain to me why I'm not as quick at tidying as you? I love, I've never heard someone describe themselves as a slow tidy yet. You're tidy but it's slow. Yeah, my tolerance of mess is way higher than other people's and I know that because it's not just my own space.

I'll go to friends' houses and that's a tip, but I'm only knowing that because of maybe what they're saying. I don't go into a person's house and be like, Jesus, rarely do I ever feel like that. Because I'm just, I don't know, that's not what be like, Jesus, rarely do I ever feel like that. Cause I'm just, I don't know, that's not what I'm measuring, what I'm focusing on. I'm focused on conversation, like what we're doing. That's what I'm thinking about. But I respect the other side too.

So I'll do my best to help be in someone else's space. But I also know my strengths, you know? Which is? Well, my strengths will be more in a case of like, fun ideas, you know? Like finding people to improve the home. She say, yeah. If you need someone to do a thing, what you need?

Oh, you need a piece of, you want a piece of art to make this room? I got you. Oh, you need, you need a group of builders to do that? I got you. I know these man. I got the, do you know what I'm saying? That's, that's the, I'm the fixer almost, you know? Yeah. And yeah, sometimes I throw my fucking bag or bag and jacket on a chair instead of hanging it up and it's not ideal.

But you're like, hey, what a great idea you came up with yesterday though. Let's let him have the jacket on this summer. Something I struggle with, but I do try to improve. Let's have another question because we've got on and on and on and on and on. Let's keep it going on and on and on. Why do you always say that when I talk? That's what gives me a complex. Hi, Lillian Makita. It's Katie from East London. Hopefully this isn't too cliche and isn't too kind of sitcom and friends vibes, but I genuinely had the best flatmate when I was at uni in the

history of flatmates. So my question is, did you have a flatmate that you just had the best times with? Those times that even when you think about them now, they almost make your heart ache with joy. And what were they? Ours included throwing a Christmas tree out of a third floor window, both waking up drunk many, many a times, me once in the communal hallway completely naked, and just spending nights and nights and nights on our sofa, putting the world to rights, making up videos before TikTok was a thing. So yeah, what was your best memories with a flatmate

that just warm your heart to this day? Absolutely love everything you're doing, never stop, and sending big love to Lily. Oh my God, who's this legend? H love everything you're doing. Never stop and sending big love to Lilly. Oh my god, who's this legend? Hire them for the show. Yeah, I love you. All right, Miss Positive, Vi Bringer, talk about that. I know what your role is in the house. I know we're sitting here like bitching about flatmates and you're like, okay, let's go. I've got one, yeah, the two boys that I was telling you when I live with them, When I was thinking about like living with them, there was this series of Celebrity Big Brother on

the year we lived together. It was the one where Dappy was in it and Lee from Blue. Iconic. Remember that one? I mean, those two together, recipe for appetite. Oh, is this the scene where she's going, he's mugging you off. This is when they're frozen.

No. Shit. He's mugging you off. Shit was funny. That was no, that's top five Big Brother moments ever. And also it was an interesting power dynamic between Lee from Blue trying to show Dappy that he was comfortable with himself. And there's this scene where they go out the shower and they were both a bit naked and Dappy was very comfortable being naked, kind of drying himself. And Lee from Blue was where they go out the shower and they were both a bit naked and Daffy was very comfortable being naked kind of drying himself and Lee from Blue was sort of trying to do it. It was a very, it was actually quite an emotional scene. I remember thinking, God, this is a real lesson in kind of vulnerability between men, between

Lee from Blue and Daffy from Mendes. But we just laughed that whole winter, I guess that was the whole winter. We just, I did not stop laughing. And I was thinking about it today. I was like, that was funny shit. And that was a good time. J dog, can I get a, as if I'm going to call you J dog. Let's not be ridiculous. People call me where J Steezy, J dog, J Lord.

Really? I didn't know all these were on offer. J wheeze occurs, J wheeze occurs. I like J wheeze occurs. Can I getesicus. J-Wesicus, I like. J-Wesicus, can I get... Could you take us to the break? All right, ad break. What were we saying, Keats? Sure, J-Wesicus. What were we saying, M-O?

No, that's why I've always abbreviated Keats. What were we saying, Momo? What were we saying, Moo Moo? LAUGHTER Hi, Kush Jumbo here. My podcast Origins is where the biggest names in entertainment tell me the stories that made them who they are today. This week on Origins is KSI. I did boxing as a joke, if that makes sense. So- No, continue. Did you and Tommy Fury become friends? No, I would be sweating if I was like sitting next to another woman. I didn't know how to talk to females.

Listen to Origins with Kush Jumbo, wherever you get your podcasts. you get your podcasts. Back from the break with JS and Momo. Women of the Momo. That was the subtitle on Grazia winner. Women of the Momo. Oh my God. Hi, Magita. This is Hannah.

I am 42 years old and I live in the Netherlands, but I'm originally from the UK. Flatmates. So I spent the majority of my 20s living with a variety of flatmates in shared houses. And then after I bought my place in Brighton, I had a few people move in with me. I complained a lot about them and I always thought way back then that they were the issue. And actually upon reflection, I think I was a pretty horrific housemate, whether it was smoking inside or being too noisy after nights out or inviting loads of people back for parties. And I had a few experiences with flatmates kind of moving out without telling me and things like that and so my question to you

is do you guys think you were good flatmates or terrible ones like me? Thanks, love your podcast, bye. So firstly shout out my self-aware queen, Hannah. Sometimes we're the problem. Facts. Oh God. Like I genuinely rate that. So many piss takes in my head just started rolling through my head just like oh that

was a bit of a piss take. Oh fucking hell. But the thing is I own the houses so it was alright. Sorry go ahead. I just realised why am I here. We didn't. I didn't own the I going? I didn't own the house. House, I didn't own it. I once had a few people over and

I had like four people over after a job that I did. And one of them just pissed in the corner of my mates bedroom. Stop it. We were in the kitchen, everyone was wasted. She's like, where's the toilet? Oh, okay, accident. I mean, there's an accident and then there's opening a bedroom, walking into the bedroom

and just fucking pissing onto carpet. It's not like there was a fake toilet there. And so I remember vividly, I had a gig the next day at Roundhouse. I think I was supporting someone. I began to focal off my flatmate going, Jordan, what the fuck? I've got this fucking piss in the corner of the bedroom. What the fuck is happening? And not only that, the other two, there was a few of them,

two of them stayed in my friend's room, who also wasn't there. And oddly, they didn't actually do damage like that, but they did take all of my friends Books out of the shelf and place them perfectly underneath His bed for some reason so they're just kind of fucked with his room a little bit just a little fuckery Yeah, we had to get a deep cleaner around for that and if I'm honest the smell never went so you are saying yes I think maybe you could say you were the problem in that situation. I was the problem in that situation Well telling not me, but I was inadvertently the problem. I was a problem by proxy Yes, yes, you know, I put money into the deep clean

Please I'd like to say sorry. I have always tried to be because I feel like every time I've ever had is gonna this episode I've always tried to be a really caring Understanding kind flatmate. I'm sorry if I was a bit of a nightmare sometimes. I imagine I was going through something. Let's have another question. Hey Makita and Missing You Lily. Love you guys so much. Your pod just brings me a lot of joy. Okay, flatmates. So I had a baby when I was 18 years old and then moved out of my mum and dad's house into my own place. So I've actually never had a flatmate apart from my kid. But yeah, I was just wondering if you guys have I missed out on not having flatmates? Because I sometimes feel like I really have. I don't know, just that kind of like living

with girls and having that girl experience and having like all your friends like living with you. But yeah, I've never had that. Have I missed out? Oh, it's Sophie from Manchester. Yeah, peace and love. Love you guys. Look, Jade's here. Hi, Jade. Thank you for joining us.

Thank you. And now that I've been to your house, I understand. This is the study. Yes. This is the lovely study. This is where thoughts. It's Jordan's room. It's Jordan's room. This is where I feel like this is a good place to think and talk and feel and study. Yes. This is the lovely study. This is where thoughts. It's Jordan's room. It's Jordan's room.

This is where I feel like this is a good place to think and talk and feel and share. Yes. I think you can answer this question. This woman is asking, she's never had the opportunity to live with a close friend, especially a close female friend. You've lived with your best friend for years.

So is she missing out? I think she's missing out. I think it's really important for everyone to experience living with their friends at some point in their lives. I think you learn a lot from that. You learn who you want to be around, who you don't want to be around. You learn patience and compromise within your friendship. And I mean, for me, with what I do at work and stuff, I find it really grounding to be able to come home to my best friend from school who really is not asked in the slightest of what I do.

Yeah, not gassed at all. No, not at all. Yes, got it. Like she loves me, she supports my music, she loves what I do, but she doesn't care who I've had lunch with or which stars I've been mingling with, all this stuff. She's just like, we sit down. which stars I've been mingling with all this stuff she's just like we sit down like stars you've been mingling

with. Okay where have you been? Literally nowhere. She gets excited when I go and love Ireland after something for the tea. Oh yeah I love all the tea. Oh my god okay let me just ask something a little bit sensitive so this is lovely Holly that I met, right? Yes. That has lived in lots of houses with you. She's lovely. How did you have an experience with another friend where it went sour and you were like, yeah, Holly's all I can trust.

Yeah, a little bit. I've definitely had negative experiences in the past living with people only towards the end. I think sometimes, you know, people's best and worst parts come out when like you're parting ways and it's like how it's done or who gets what and all that stuff. This is why I said that they're like breakups

because it's like when you go back on all the stories, like it was so good. It was so, and then you're like, oh, and then it got fucking awful. And then it was a disaster and it fell apart. Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, the people that's happened with, I'm still sort of amicable with them and it's like fine,

but then you learn, don't you like, well, I'm not gonna live with that type of person again. That's not gonna work. That's not gonna work. No. And what about your new flatmate, Jordan? Oh, Jordan. Jordan's brilliant to live with.

He really is. Oh my God. What? No, I mean it. Yeah, I think, do you know what? I've, Jordan's really helped me better myself because I'm very organized, super perfectionist. And when me and Jordan first started dating, you know, obviously he has ADHD and that was something that I had to learn to adapt to. Right, no seriously.

So some of that will include like he's incredibly messy. We've spoken about this as well. Yes. Slowed idea, he puts it as I'm a slowed idea. We actually have a new word for it. Okay, yeah, I'm sure there's nicer ways of putting it. But yeah, so and to Jordan, like if he leaves a pile, it will just become invisible after a certain period of time.

So it just doesn't exist anymore. So I do spend a lot of time sort of tidying up after Jordan. Not a lot of time, come on. Wow! Oh my God, I forgot what it's like to tide up after men. It's so fucking irritating! After men. But to be honest.

Sorry, after someone we're living with. Sorry, sorry, after someone you're living with. It's not honestly. You've men. But to be honest... No, you started this... Sorry, after someone we're living... Sorry, sorry, after someone you're living with. It's not honestly. You've got messy women out there, man. This is true. I can also be messy as well, to be fair. But it's like organized chaos, do you know what I mean? But this is my point, is that there are some things that Jade likes to organize, and there

are other things that I just don't even recognize that as something that should happen. What's the most disgusting thing you've ever seen from a flatmate? Oh, yeah, that's good. J could take that one. Most disgusting thing? Bait someone out. Oh, my last flatmate was super, super clean. So that was probably, I came across his bag.

So I was so busy with work. Once I left my slow cooker out and I forgot it was there for like weeks and then when the lid was lifted by my flatmate it had its own... It was cooking for weeks. No it wasn't cooking it was just there was shit in there there was like broth or whatever and it just sat and festered. Can I say can I say just on balance that isn't the... Jade is making out that's the only time that's happened that has happened in my lived experience too and guess who sorts it out?

Ah slow tidy, slow tidy sorts it out. Guess who sorts it out? These two girls right one time I have to say they've come home from a night out right they've come home from a night out and this is I've never seen anything like it in my life they dropped a raw egg on the kitchen floor, right? These girls were gagging, trying to pick up this raw egg from the floor. They couldn't get down to pick it up without, whoop, whoop, and they're both setting each other off. Whoop, whoop, both in this weird gag circle.

So you had to come in. They're walking and pick up the fucking egg. What's wrong with you? Miki, I've got a very touchy, vulnerable gag reflex. So- I totally understand. You know, if something's got a bad whiff about it, if the texture's off, if it's a raw egg chicken.

No, don't. Do you get it? I sort it. No, cause a kid sneezed in custard once and then he ate it. And I was like, no, I see. Too custard.

Too many things I need that. have fucking gone wrong here. I'm filthy, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. Thinking about that's given me watery mouth. You can just describe gory food and set Jade off. She'll probably vomit on the spot. Will retch, retch 32.
