Hello. Where was that deep breath? I don't know. I always panic before I say hello. I don't know why. We're back, people. Welcome to a brand new episode of Mom's the Word. I'm George Jones.

And I'm Kelsey Parker. And today, Kelsey tells us, dot, dot, dot. Why is that so ominous? What do I tell you? What does Kelsey tell us, Doc? Dan, dun, dun, dun. Well, you'll find out. And Georgia tells us about Cooper and Danny.

and their first round of golf together. Yeah, which sounds hideously boring, but it was actually super cute. So, grab a cup of get comfy. And let's jump into a brand new episode of Mum's the Word. So how you been? What's up? What's up?

What's happening? What's a 401, baby girl? So. I don't think I've ever been called Baby Girl before. I fancied you for a second and then, I'll see. Oh, funny. So we went at home and went back.

that's my mom and dad's fair, like, a long weekend. And Cooper's got well into, like, going to the driving range with Danny, which is very cute and also really convenient for me on a Saturday when I just want to have a morning to just potter. Anyway, so they went and they were going to just do driving range. And it was Danny, my dad and Cooper. And obviously Danny's dad's not on the scene. My dad's never had a son, you know.

Oh, so it's really the coming together of the families. Yeah, and Danny and dad get on really. really, really well. And Cooper loves dad. Like, granddad is the best in the world. So they all went off to play golf. And honestly, I just didn't really even think about it. I was just like, oh, that's cute.

Have a nice day. And Danny was nearly in tears when they got back. Oh, what? Because he was like, it was actually so lovely. Yeah, he was like, honestly, that was, that was such a big moment for me to watch three generations all playing golf together. Cooper actually doing really well at it, he hit the ball further than my dad.

Did he? My dad. Did your dad play golf? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But my dad's got a bad back and I think he was slightly mortified. I think dad was crying for different reasons. I was like, oh, my eight-year-old grandson's better at golf than me.

But just like, Danny just felt this like such, oh, it was just such an experience being with my dad and having that and being with Cooper. all of them together just like having fun. They only did nine holes. But yeah, he was just honestly, he said it was probably one of the most special things that he's ever done with Cooper.

Oh, that's so sweet. Yeah, I know. And it's so funny, isn't it? You don't ever really like think about that. Because like we have our like, I don't know, I feel like as mumms you've got your like, you have your big lovely cuddles with your little ones and stuff. Whereas I don't know how it's a bit different for men, I think.

A lot of the, Not all men, but I think a lot of dads, it's kind of more like rough and tumble. Let's go and play football and do this and do that. But having those little moments, I think, is special. Yeah. And it's needed. And I think that's the same for Will. I do feel like his relationship has changed so much with the kids.

His thing with Bodie is football. And Bodie, like they've really bonded over football. Have they? So over the Easter, Bode was like, can you play? Can you play with me in the back guard? so Bodey like takes it really seriously puts his football boots on and they've gone and played like most nights together just to practice and Will's like oh he's really improving he's really improving

but that's what Will does with him he takes him every Wednesday to football that's his job with Bodey yeah and I just think it is important for them to bond and especially for Bode because he is drawn to men more yeah like he likes the men of the family yeah well he probably craves it doesn't he yeah but That's been so nice them. And I think it is lovely to watch that grow. Yeah, it is.

Does any part of you feel slightly jealous when they go off and do their thing? Or are you just happy for them? Oh, I'm happy for them. I am. Do you get a bit jealous? Well, not jealous, just a little bit like, oh. What, do you feel like they had that moment and you missed the moment? Yeah, well, kind of like, I don't know whether me and Cooper would have like a moment like that

because I don't think we'll ever be into the same thing. Do you know what I mean? You might, there might be something. But then I get my, I think I just felt. And I do think the boys come to their mums for different things. And I think you'll have your time. Yeah, it's true. Because I think he'll come to, I think he will come to you for advice.

About maybe different things. Yeah, and I suppose he does. And that will be your time. If he's her, it's like, he always calls me. Because we all go to my mum. My brothers, me, we all go to my mum for the advice and that sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah. I think that's it.

I think I was just like, oh, I wish I had an experience. Yeah, I think it's because Danny came back and was like, oh, that was, you're like, oh, I wanted to be there and experience that. I wanted an experience. Yeah, but that's just me being silly, really. There's no two ways about it. I think sometimes when you... No, and I think for us, moms, we do so much for them. Then when they have that moment, the dad were like, sorry, but...

Sorry, where's my moment? I should be having a moment every day. Yeah, I think that's it. I think because we do so much, then they go off and have their moment. And you're like, oh. Well, I can play golf. Yeah, I didn't try. I can run really fast.

Yeah, really. I can't run really fast. But yeah, it was really sweet and just, it was lovely. It was, it was really lovely. My selfishness aside, I did love hearing about it and watching the videos. Oh, and I bet Cooper absolutely loved it too. Yeah, and my little, my dad's face on the videos. he just looks so proud.

I can't believe he's there. Yeah, it's just so cute. Because Dad, it was so funny because when I was born and I came out a girl, Dad was like, well, I'm almost kind of hoping for a boy, but I love you just the same, George. I'm like, all right, cheers, Dad. So I think when Cooper came along, obviously.

He was so happy. Yeah, he just gets on, they're just as thick of sieves them too, which is lovely. So nice. But all the men in my family go off and play golf together. Do they? Yeah, that's like the thing that they all do. Will play a golf as well.

Will takes Bodie to the driving range. Right, yeah. Bode got a golf club for his birthday. So they do that together as well. But I don't know if Will's got 18 holes in him. Right. I don't know if he's that sort of person. But he likes going to the drive range.

But I don't know, they might decide to do that together. Yeah. And also Will's a bit younger. But now he's like, you know, you're getting older, mate. You're getting older. Honestly, I swear. Men reach a certain age and they all just get into golf. Yeah, it's like the golf vibes.

I'm going to play golf now. Also, I do think it's a good place to network and get business. business. Do you? I never thought of it like that. So it was a wedding. There's a go for people. There's one thing.

Have a brick. But unfortunately for Danny now, he's got to take his kid winning. He doesn't really need the networking in the business there. Yeah, not so much. What was his year? But my brothers and that, they absolutely love it. They're so into golf. Are they?

They go every weekend. I mean, it's just. The cousins, like the boys, the uncles, my stepdad, all of them. They all go together. I did find my... Competitive. It's competitive. It's competitive.

And also, I feel like it's one of those games where you never quite know how you're going to play. You never know what mood they're going to come back in after the play golf. Just golf does not, it doesn't appeal to me at all. But a lot of women play golf when they get older. I know they do. JoJo, can you see us? Danny actually said to me, will you take up golf?

And I was like, no sweetheart. Oh, please, Judge. I was like, that can be your thing. Like, also it's quite like a men going off and playing golf golf. Like, you need your own time. Hey? They all drink, didn't they? Afterwards, you'd be there sat with your drink.

I'll go to the golf club. Just not playing. Just not playing. Food's always good as well at a golf club. Oh, yeah. Food's always good. Yeah. So, Kels, you've shared some really honest reflections recently

about not just surviving but actually choosing to live your life. Yeah. I think we're just, oh, we all don't live our life sometimes. We just worry about so much, but just making that choice to be like, I'm going to live, I'm here. Obviously, I've gone for a lot of loss. but you're here once. Just choose to live your life.

Do what you want. Don't hold back. Go for it. If you want to play golf, like say if you did actually want to play golf, go for it. Go and play the golf. Do what you want to do.

Is this a new like epiphany you've had recently? Or was this since, you know, initially when Tom died? No, I think I've always been that person of just go and do what you want. But I'm just expressing myself more. Yeah, online. Online to show people you can do it.

Like the only person that's holding you back is you. So true. And we are all in our own heads. We are, yeah. You sit in your own head sometimes. You think, oh my God, why have I just put that doubt into anything that I'm going to do? You can do and be whatever you want to be. Because we are so easy to doubt everything, isn't it?

Yeah. Like, for instance. But we are conditioned for doubt. Yeah. When you go to school, they are conditioning our kids for doubt all the time. Like that's where I do with the home schooling and that. Because obviously, you have. to abide by the rules and do this and do that. And my take on school now is so different to

what, like to say years ago with my children, how I would guide them through school now is going to be so different. Really? Yeah. Because I think school, you know, yeah, okay, you have to you have to do what they're telling you and whatever. But, you know, have your own thought. The teacher's not always right. You, we're all different people, we're all individuals. Like, you are just learning from a textbook, if you come in with a different thought, then that's your thought and that's okay? You're so right on that, though, because I do, and I think there's certain schools that aren't like that, like, that are a lot more about creative thinking than, like, learn algebra. But I feel like in schools, it is, this is right, this is wrong, that's it.

You can't question us. You can't quite, like, question, you know, but what if? Because I remember I used to always really struggle in, like, oh, God, when I did, I did, I did, I did, A.S-level sociology and quickly dropped it because I found it really difficult that no one could explain things to me and give me answers and stuff. And I struggled with that. I craved understanding. And I think if a teacher can't help you understand something, then they're not, they shouldn't be, they're not in the right job. Yeah. They're not in the right job. One of my best friends is a PE teacher and they've just been away on this trip. And I saw the kind of like promotional video

that they've put out from it. Honestly, I was like, oh my God, you are absolutely incredible. And you saw her as a teacher. And you don't get to see friends doing their thing. And you could see what a different teacher she was compared to the types of teachers we went to school with that don't come anywhere near you.

That don't like show any kind of like emotion or care or thought towards you because for fear of God knows what. And then I saw my gorgeous best mate being so caring And you could tell she really was it Oh she is, I know she is so invested in these kids And that is a difference between positive schooling And negative schooling. I do think the schooling environment is really hard a hard place now

Because I do think the teachers are under so much pressure I think every parent You know even if I have a different thought I wouldn't go in and tell that teacher Oh, I think this and da-da-da-da I think they're just under so much pressure from people parents now. Oh yeah. I would like being a teacher.

Even like the, you know, like the Ofsted things. Yeah. They come in and ask the kids questions. It's like how are you judging what rating this school gets on whether this seven year old. On a seven year old answering a question because they might just be in a silly mood. They might be, you know, thinking they're funny saying a certain thing and then the poor school gets like poor or whatever.

Yeah. But I do think even with that We're just obviously bothered about the offstead And oh this school's outstanding and whatever My kids went to an outstanding school And it wasn't the right school for them No Oh is that the one they went to and then you move

And then they moved Yeah that wasn't the right school for them And it was outstanding People moved to the area to get to that school But it wasn't the right school for my children And you know Yes I want them to get an education But is that the bill and end all

Absolutely not And life skills and life purpose is so much more important, I think. Yeah, and do, like, do experiences. Experiences and getting out and seeing the world and everything they've done so far in their lives, they've, even emotional experiences that they've had is, they, don't you think though, like, it's being made, it's made so hard to even have those experiences for a lot of people because, well, it's gone up to it, it's £160 pound per parent, fine now, isn't it, for taking your kids out of school in, in term time? A lot of parents can't afford to take their kids away to do certain things.

But it probably works out cheaper to take that fine than actually... To do it in holidays. I mean, going away in the summer holidays is just it's social. I don't know how people are going to survive. And I spoke about it before in this pod and I just worry for the world because everything is so expensive now. Yeah, no one can go and do what they're fun. But obviously that's why I've had to pay for the children's education because in this line of work that I do, I can get a call and we've got to go away next week.

week and obviously if they were in a state school they I'm getting the fine and whatever else and then you have more time off and then they're they're going to get the courts involved like so now I have to pay for the education of the children because of that reason yeah which again is just everything just costs so much money nowadays the school fees are ridiculous oh I don't even want to talk about filling my car up the other day no the car the petrol oh dear it's just it's not worth talking I'm not, do you know what? I'm having to talk about it. Because it does actually stress you out. So depressing.

I remember when I was, when I first started driving. Air match, Joe. Oh my God, it was in the pence. It wasn't even a pound. Wasn't even a pound when I first started driving. Isn't that unbelievable? They just taking the piss out of us just in general, but we all just pay for it.

Well, you have to. You haven't got an option, have you? No. Unless you want to go live off the land, Kells. Which, I mean, I reckon, I reckon give Kells five more years. She may well be. doing that. We'll find us somewhere.

Do you know what I watch on TikTok? These people that have just like relocated to like Thailand and Bali and stuff like that and I'm like, yeah, we have got it wrong in this country. All we do is work. We don't, I don't feel like we live here. That's what I'm saying people. Just live your lives, do what you want because we're just so

structured to you've got to go and work at the 9 to 5, then you come home, then you've got to do this. Like we just live, live, live and you go to other countries like Australia and that. They all go to work and they come out and they're on the beach and they're cooking and they're having a lovely and then you go to Thailand and, you know, it's cheaper to live out there. So you probably wouldn't even have to do nine to five, five days a week out there

because you'd be a millionaire. You'd be a millionaire. It'd be easier if our weather was decent. Even when our weather is decent. Do we all go out and enjoy and live? I live a little bit more when the weather's nice. Yeah. I feel like my living is slightly higher level.

But we have so much pressure up with how everything costs in this country. Yeah. I know we do. And it's going to be more strained. The mental health is going to go through the roof. We are going to see so much more mental health because people financially, your worst struggle in life is having a financial struggle.

And people are going to be hitting rock bottom. Yeah, it's a waterfall effect, isn't it, really? Oh, dear. Right, let's get the depression over. Yeah, so we want to live life, right? Yeah. Motto of today. Live life.

Live love. Live love. Live left love. Should we get a tassoot, girls, shall we? I'm getting a new tattoo too soon. Are you? What are you getting? I'm not 100% sure yet. If anyone's got any ideas.

Oh, is this on your 40 before 40? 5 before 40. What tattoo you're going to get? Where are you going to get it? I don't know. I don't know any of it, okay? But I'm getting one. But are you that sort of person?

Do you need the plan or could you walk in and get, like, when I got Arrayla and Bodie with my arms, that wasn't even the plan? It wasn't, was it not? No, I will need a plan. I got like a tattoo down my side. And then I went, oh, can you put them on my arms? What?

Have you got the same tattoo down on your side? No, I've got a phoenix on my side. Oh, and then you got those on your arms. And then I've got them the same down. I was like, oh, can you do them in my arms? I'm just that person. I... Sorry.

I stuttered with my words there because it's slightly padded to me when Kelsey said that. No, I need to add, need to know in advance. What, where, when? So where are you thinking? Not really sure at the moment. Okay, can't wait. It was.

I'm so glad you brought. the tattoo conversation up. But when it happens, Kels, you will know about it. I can't wait to see it. As all the rest of our mum's aware listeners. Back, would you go back? Have you got one down your back already? No, I haven't got one down. I'm sides. I've got sides. I feel like you could do back though. Could.

I feel like you got a pretty back. Thank you. Not seeing my back. No, but I feel like you have. I feel like you have a nice spine and back. Thank you. Thank you. It's actually. Kelsey thinks I've got a nice spine. She's just playing with me today, Scels.

Shall we do, Mum's a Word, top five. So this week... I don't think we'll argue about this one. I don't think we're on the same page for this one. And I think this is very, very similar opinions on-brand for me and Georgia.

Yeah. So this week, what are our top five things that shouldn't be homework? Oh, everything. Everything. All of the above. There's not even a top five. Just everything. Just don't give the kids homework.

Yeah, we don't, we just, homework's just a no for me. It's too much. It's too much. Like I get, you know. We're all stressed. We're all under financial stress. And exactly what you were saying about the live,

live laugh, you can't live when you've got homework pending. Books to read. I have noticed, though. You just said it a minute ago. Cooper hasn't added as much homework in holidays. They haven't seen to be getting any holidays.

Let them enjoy the holiday thing. Well, exactly. And us. Yeah. I just keep forgetting to even check the homework. What would be like your, if you had the top five, what would be your, yours is mass, isn't it? Oh God, mass.

Anything math related, that would be number one. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? They get a piece to night, don't they, from every class. A night. Do they actually? I think, well, I think they get like every subject. I think they get a piece sent home.

But it might have to be due in like. for the next week. But I mean, so that means you to get like history, science, French. I'm just, school wasn't my.

Did you do? Yeah. School wasn't my thing. I loved school for the social. Yes. That was I, well, I was so lucky

because obviously where I went to Italia Conti, it was like, if I'd gone to a normal secondary school, I would have been expelled. I know I would have been. But that was perfect for me. Half the day,

doing a little bit of reading, writing of that. And then the rest of day expressing, It was literally the best thing for me. But I remember my French teacher, she was so upset when I was dropping French. I was like, I've been with you since year seven and I have no idea.

You can't say my name. I'm like, I'm not going to pass French. There's just no point. I might as well drop it. And she was like, no, Kelsey, don't drop it. I'm like, I'm dropping it. I can't. See, the only reason I never dropped languages

was because we got to go to the country. I was like, Italy, yes, please. Get me there. I'll do it all. I do it. French, Spanish. Yeah. What language? Any. Could we... What's a really exotic there? Can we... What are really... Did she go? What do they speak? In Mexico?

Can we speak... Brazilian? Can we learn Brazilian, please? Portuguese. Portuguese. Is Brazilian not a language? I think it's a language. They speak Portuguese. It's a language. They speak Portuguese in Brazil. Hang on it. Is Brazilian not a language? I don't know whether we can keep this in the podcast. Don't keep it in, please. When she was going to pick somewhere exotic. You said it.

You sent me up for a ball there, Kelsey. Kelsey Parker, how dare she? See, I thought she'd been so lovely to me on this podcast. Turns out. Listen, I've only got myself to blame. Okay, I didn't do that well. She was there for the social side. She just said that.

She made the statement before. And I actually was a really good girl at school. Yeah, just scrap homework. in general. Just clearly wasn't that smart. The other thing I would say, no to with home. I mean, all homework, but making shit. I mean, like, I am very, very hot on recycling.

So when something comes home, it's like, can you build a pyramid? I'm like, well, we have no cardboard or containers or anything to build a pyramid from. I'm not going to... Do you know where there should be? Well, I'm going to make... There should be somewhere that you send, so that we had to make a castle. send all the castles to someone in an app and then when you need it. So you go on there and go, right, pyramids.

Yeah. And then they send you a maid pyramid. This is such a good app. But this is a really good app, actually. Because then you're not right. Looks like seven year old has made it. Age range, seven. Oh, well.

Shit but not too shit. Kelsey, we'd love to go back to girls on this podcast. So they had to make an easy. Eastergarten. But Dean went to Hobbycraft. He made the whole thing that Kelsey just kept sending me pictures and it was Albi,

stood next to Dean. What did he do? Watching Dean do it. It was incredible. He created, but there's no way. I went, so when he took that into school, did the teacher go, there's no way of your five-year-old

to make his or six-year-old. I mean, but that's the thing. They're just sending it home for parents. Yeah, right? And if I could do it and do it like it looked like I'd done it, I'd love it. I'd absolutely love it

because I love a bit of that. However, you've got to then make it look a bit shit so it passes as your eight-year-old child might have done it. I'm telling you. We've got to get this app going. Or the app could just be the things you need to make. So if you want to make a pyramid, go right. These, this is all, and it all be recycled.

I bet you that is probably out there, though, too. It must be. If it's not. I want someone else's. Right, this is legally contracted. If somebody copies us now from this podcast. Yeah. This is mine and Kelsey's idea, okay?

This is our idea. But yeah, it's true. And I, like, I love doing, I love doing stuff like that. She loves crafting. She's such a crafter. No, I actually, paint. No, thank you. But if somebody said to me.

New Instagram journey, crafting. Yeah, crafting. Hi, I'm a craft mum now. No, if somebody said to me, right, you need to make a pyramid and it's got to be banging. I would love to do that. And you've got all day to do it. I'd be like, this is brilliant. I'd be in my element.

but not when I'm making it with my child. No, yeah, that's just stressful. It's just crazy arguments. They're like watching the TV. Oh, yeah. Can you just do the job? Yeah. And also it's days of work. Yeah.

Days of work. So yeah, we all want to put homework in the bin. Thank you. All. When I say all, me and Kelsey. Yeah. Anywhere else. Sometimes like, you know, I really want my kids to get to grand school.

I'm really just to enjoy them doing their homework. Some people do. And also academics. That's okay. Yeah. My sister, massive academic. She loves learning. She loves learning. She loves learning. Right, we listen. And we don't judge. I sat in the car for five minutes after dropping the kids off for the first day back from Easter for some silence on my own. I often sit on the car on my own.

Yeah, and just think, oh. And just go, ooh. What is this? What am I hearing? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. No one's asking to do a back flip-up and everything. No one's asked me to get them a drink. No one's asking for... I've got my podcast on. The heating, is it the perfect temperature? No one's got a window down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I don't judge you one bit, whoever you are.

Oh, I love this one. Have you ever reused the birthday card from a previous party because you've got to buy one? Oh, I've never done that. Do you mean one that's already written in? Yeah, no, I've never done that because that is bad. And also, the card's going in the bin. I'm like, Bosch, in the bin. A week and then they're off.

Presents all day long. Do you re-gift? Do you re-gift? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I would. If it was something Cooper's not going to use. Yeah, do you write down who bought what?

And you make sure that you ain't given that back to that person. Oh, I do. I always write down who's bought what, what. And then, because I've always got it in my head. Oh, I must send them a thank you for that. Then I always forget. Yeah, you have good intentions that I'm going to do it. I'm going to thank you, cards.

And you write them all down and you're like, oh. You want to know something that's absolutely disgusting. And my best friends have never, ever let me forget it. Me and Danny never sent out our wedding thank yous, our cards. We got them all made. I had a list of what everyone had got for us for our wedding. See, if I was your friend, I would never be offended by that. They're not offended.

They just wind me up. Yeah, because I just... But family members might actually get offended with you. but I think if you are then people, like me and Tom, I don't even know if we did thank yous, but that's me. Like, I am thankful.

I am grateful. Yeah. I'm not going to send you a card to then say again that I'm thankful. I am, just I am. You should just know. I am. You just know that I'm thankful.

I was grateful for you being there. You made the day. It was incredible. You're not getting a thank you card from me. Yeah. Because I'm just not that organized. Do you know what I think, Kells, what I might do then is throw them away.

Maybe the time has come. I've still got them. Yeah. BIN them. I still got them because my idea, I was like, do know what? I'll do, because it'll be funny, is on our 10th wedding anniversary. Send them out. Have you actually got the list of what people got you then?

I've got it all in the box. Oh, do that then. That's brilliant. No, no, it's been and gone. So. Bind them, 20 years? 20 years, that's acceptable? I reckon half the people might be dead.

All the old people in 20 years time. Oh, Barbara from up north. Thank you for the T-set. Yeah, thank you for that too, sir. Sorry, she's dead. She's dead. She can't come to the phone right now. Does anyone actually ever read the school newsletter,

or do you just look and see if your girls mentioned? 100%. I've never read the school now. Do you know what I look? I scroll down to what the food is the next week. And make sure they don't cook the same stuff or the same day of what they're eating. Do you know, I actually do sometimes read the school newsletter.

The only reason being is I'm so out of the loop. I have to do something to make sure. But ours is a lot, because ours is like, junior, well like primary and secondary together. Yeah, no, ours is... I'm like, right, did they get a certificate? No, right, thank you. Can I see my child's name anywhere?

Is there a cute picture of any of my children on here? Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to the toy story film this summer, more than the rest of family, it's genuinely made my year? Is there a new toy story film coming out? I think there is. Oh, look, he's nodding. You're dumb, Dom, producer Dom knows. Dom's excited.

He'll go with you. Producer Dom's so young. probably still enjoys toys. He's still watching the first one. Still watching the first one. Yeah, I think that I sometimes get excited about the kids' films. I do. Zootropolis.

Absolutely a bit of me. Zootropolis too. I was very excited to watch. Moana, again, great. Great, great film. Yeah, be excited. Yeah, you get excited. Actually, I'm quite excited.

Yeah. Didn't know that. Oh, no, I have seen a clip. Have you? Because Who's in it? One of them's gone bald and I think Woody's gone bald.

Oh no. Oh, plastic. It's getting on now. Yeah, he's getting on. Why does a council plan always feel like the need for a celebration inside? Do they mean inside their body? I guess because you've not cancelled it.

But you know when sometimes you don't want to go to something and it's like, I guess it's been cancelled? Yeah. It is nice sometimes. You do. There's that app isn't there where you can click cancel. And then if the other. one clicks cancel as well, then you've both cancelled.

But if the other one doesn't, they don't know that you've clicked cancel. So you can cancel plans, but it's only if you both agree. Oh my God. But neither of you know whether the other one's clicked it. I don't actually like canceling plans on. I just, the guilt of for me is just, it's free. Very okay. Only if I really need to, like something's come up or Cooper's ill or I'm ill.

But like we said, we have to be very ill, don't we, Cal's? Yeah, to not be going out and having a good time. Well, Kels, that's another episode done, dusted. Oh my God, it's so sad.
