Hello, I'm Carriad. I'm Sarah. And we are the Weirdo's Book Club podcast. We are doing a very special live show as part of the London Podcast Festival. The date is Thursday, 11th of September.

The rumours are true. Saturday the 13th of September at King's Place. Oh, that sounds like a date to me, Harriet.
Summer's Day it is for the Nobody Panic podcast with me, Stevie.
And me, Tessa, a beautiful blue summer sky.
We're in August.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Don't know when you're listening.
Is it August?
We recorded this episode on Christmas Day.
2007.
Which actually is a good year for this to bring up because it was around that time.
I mean, my whole life, but I
realise I just hate summer.
Like, I hate summer and I love winter and autumn.
But that has changed now.
Now I respect and enjoy both seasons
in a balanced, moderate way.
But before, I would actually get really upset.
I remember 2007 specifically, because I was at uni
and it was like, and we stayed,
I think I stayed over the holidays to work catering, I think.
And it was so hot all the time.
And I, yeah, I just remember,
I just hate it.
And we'll go into depth.
That's not the end of what I'll be saying about that.
But Tesla's always been like, I'd say two into summer.
It's just like, come on.
I would describe it as pathological.
Yeah, a bit of an issue.
And two, because also then in winter it's awful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what happens if you are a true child of summer is that winter for you is an endless
hellscape.
So this episode is going to be about how to learn to love summer, how to cope with summer,
if you're not a natural summer person, how to embrace it,
how to get through summer if that doesn't come naturally.
How to cope with summer, basically.
Tessa, what is the adult thing that you have done this week?
Mine is quite involved.
Mine involved.
Okay, so I live in a very nice building.
Some people remember that I used to live in a basement and I was extremely unhappy.
And now I live on the fourth floor and I can see the sky.
Oh, my, one, wow, thrilled.
And to add to the excitement,
I can go, I can climb out.
Well, there's like a, there's a roof, basically.
And I have been out there all summer on this roof.
And then, yesterday, in the wind, the door blew off.
The door blew off.
And it's not completely clear.
It's all sort of, it's like a little rickety.
It's not completely clear if you're supposed to be on the roof, basically.
And I just, I just haven't asked anyone and nobody's found out yet.
But the door was already, like, completely rotten.
and I was like, oh my God.
And I was like, I can't go and get help from anybody else in the building
because nobody knows I'm up here.
And now I've come up here and literally like smash the roof off its hinges like I'm Thor or something.
So I went by down, got my screwdriver and I put, I undid all the hinges that were just onto
the rotten bit and put them back on, but on like the stronger bit of wood.
On my own, lifting this like oak door that I wedged up with a couple of bricks.
But and also in silence so nobody in the building would hear me.
And I put the door back.
on and nobody knows.
That's amazing.
I know.
I was so excited.
When I started taking the hinges off, I thought, this is fucked.
I've broken this.
I was literally thinking, I was like in my head being like, okay, I go to the door shop.
I get a door man.
I say, don't tell anyone why you're in the building.
I sneak him up here.
I was like, I was like, oh my God, it's going to, it's going to work.
And I had to say, like, thank you, door.
Anyway, so I fixed it.
That is an absolute delight. Well done.
Thank you. I really was like what an emotional journey this was.
Excellent.
Mine is less, I mean it's not.
I feel like, you know like when you're young and then you meet actual grownups
and they have like comments about younger people or like the generation below.
I feel like that's a very adult thing to have.
It's not a nice thing.
I think you should try and avoid judging others.
But you can't help it because you're now an old person seeing young people doing,
like making mistakes.
You've learned lots of things.
You're very wise like Grandmother Willow.
It's basically the transition from relating to The Little Mermaid to relating to King Triton.
Yes.
And also that also realizing that that reference in and of itself is like an old person reference now.
You know?
Anyway, my adult thing is that I, look, I've watched the Gen Z comments about millennials.
And yes, I have felt triggered because I, I, every, like, apparently,
There's a thing going around that we've both seen, and you may have seen as well, which is like, comments on TikTok are from Gen Zs about millennials. And it's just them taking the piss out, like, how millennials like Harry Potter, how they feel like they can't do adult things. Brilliant. This is what the entire podcast is about. Thanks, guys. You know, they do a lot of good stuff. They're very, like pro-climate change. They, like, TikTok is fun. It doesn't look like it's some sort of poison hellscape like Twitter is and Facebook. We're the Facebook generous. That's way worse.
all of this sort of stuff.
They're the Trump thing as well.
Like, you know, they bought all of the tickets so that the Trump rally was empty.
Great.
But then I saw my first thing, which made me be like, ah, they're mad and I don't relate to them.
And they, I'm worried about the kids.
And I was like, oh, that's the most adult thing I think I've ever thought in my life.
Oh, I'm worried about the kids.
And it was, and it's gone viral.
It was a girl doing a TikTok who's been broken up with or her relationship has ended.
with an equally young boy, probably like 16 to 18 and something called Cole,
and she's crying, like, but not like, not that this is a thing,
but not like, oh, I'm just like going to cry a bit and put the camera on me.
Like, she's probably like ugly crying, which is terrifying because that,
so her first instinct was to get her phone and film herself doing that,
which I find so disturbing.
Like, have a cry, be in your feelings.
And then captions being like, for the girl, like,
for the, the, the, for the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I just want to
to know that he needs to live his life, okay?
Just let him live his life.
That's tip number one for how to go out with him.
Tip number two is like basically giving tips to the next girlfriend while ugly crying and
showing pictures of them two together.
Their children essentially.
Like, it's so bad for you what you are doing.
And I felt really like, oh, no, we need to take everyone's phones.
They can't be, this can't happen.
And I felt like a very old person because that's what like you hear.
generations before they said about television like these youth they watch a television their mind's
going to rot or like in the internet like oh then that did happen oh their mind's going to rot and now
their minds are rotting because of TikTok and now yeah so that so I feel like an adult because
I'm I was concerned about younger people oh that's very nice I felt genuinely gleeful watching it
I've watched it so many times and I was like this ha ha ha ha because I had felt like oh gen z like they're
really good guys. And I was like, oh no, you're completely deranged. You're just like us.
Ha ha ha. Mad teenagers. But now you've got phones. I was like, this is the most, this is the
maddest shit I've ever seen. Not just the ugly crying at the beginning. The fact that she's like,
be smaller next woman. Like don't like make his life good, you know? Absolutely. That's fair. This is for
Cole and it's saying, I will be better. I will be smaller. Don't be with people who don't make you
happy who you have to. Anyway, they're so young that all of this, like, of course everyone will make that
mistake, but the fact that you're making it on TikTok and it's so disturbing. To millions, millions of people.
Anyway, I don't want to be mean, but. I felt like, there was the first time I was like,
ah, yes, the wealth of experience is, is pleasant. It's because the other day during the heat wave,
I was walking along, I went home home to the countryside and I was walking along by the river
thinking like, oh, this is beautiful. And I've been swimming in the river and it was full of like,
teenagers and I was like, oh, they're, look at them. Look at them. Look at those kids go. And then this
group of girls went, um, oh my God, the, um, the boys from the year above are coming. And my
heart just like, yeah, I'm so good. I never want to be young again. I do not want you.
And I literally was like, we were all, me and them. I was like, I'm not in part of this. We're
all looking around for like, where the boys in the year above are. And then this boy bought a group
of, you know, children, but man, were they sexy children, but like, we're coming across.
They were teenagers. Let me just clarify. But like, but like,
The older you get, the more that you're like,
more that you see the age that you were when you were like,
I've got this under control, especially as a teenage girl when you spoke to older men
and you were like, yeah, they're treating me as a peer here.
Like, and then you, the older you get, see a teenage girl and you're like, oh my God.
Like, that's a baby.
That's a tiny baby.
And the difference between the year above and your year is negligible and not a thing.
And also the amount of drama and stress and tension about what would,
even make you flinch or blink now.
It's so relieving to be like, I'm so glad I don't have that in my life anymore.
It's like, it's a gleeful like, oh, I'm out, I'm out.
I don't have to do that anymore.
As in it was like, oh, I was being really jealous of Gen Z.
And now I'm like, I don't have to be jealous.
It wasn't about her personally.
I was like, I wanted to give her a big hug and be like, let's talk about boys.
But it made me gleeful in a like, oh, they, because I think it's this.
It's like, we look at that younger generation and be like, how have you got your
shit so much together?
when we were your age we were all wearing like a gap fleece and we looked terrible and now you were all incredibly cool and you all look like you're in little mix and so i've been feeling all of those feelings and then i was like oh they just kids they just that's the feeling okay great um summer let's get
as a child um i my my memories of summer as a child are and i was outside in the garden a bit but like it would be um i uh didn't have a phone
many friends. And I would read all the time in my room with the door shop. And my parents
had to be like, do you want to go out? And I'd be like, no. And then it was like, please,
please do. And then it would be like the evening and it'd be like, we're having dinner in the
garden. And then I would be dripping in sweat because I hate wasps and be like, I need to take,
I'm going to have to have dinner indoors. And they'd be like, no, have outdoors, have outdoors,
some wasps come over. I freak out. I end up having indoors on my own anyway. So most of me is me being
indoors and feeling really stupid and like I'm like, why can't I enjoy like everyone else? I'm so
stupid. Then fast forward too, the difference between summer clothes and winter clothes and how like that
suddenly is like, well now what? I've got to get my arms out and my legs out and wear all these small,
I don't want to wear small clothes. I don't like wearing small clothes and lots and lots of stress
about that and not having the money to do things like buying like, you know, everyone's like, oh, it's fine,
just invest in a very clean, long line, good quality white t-shirt. And then that goes everything,
like, cool, you invest in it. I have five pounds. I'd basically be walking around constantly
feeling like I was wearing the wrong thing that didn't fit because it didn't, that was cheap and I
looked bad because I did. And I could dress in winter a lot easier. And then everyone around you just
keeps going, isn't it great? And you're like, I don't like it. I'm weird. What is wrong with me? But now it's
Now, when it's a sunny day, I'll be inside doing some work or whatever.
And I'm just enjoying the fact that it's a lovely bright day,
rather than being like, I should be outside immediately.
Why aren't I'm going to outside?
And that was my first big one is that I think a lot of the problems with the seasons will,
look, guys, a lot of the problems you have with the seasons are based on, like,
things that aren't, it's not actually the season of the problem.
It's something to do with you, whether it's that you don't like wearing small clothes
because you're not very confident about your body or,
whether it's like you're two friend of wasps for an adult, and that is wrong.
You can't help those things.
So you just have to be like, okay, there are certain things.
What can I do to minimize and help and like help those things?
For example, a few years ago was like, well, I don't like get my arms out, but I'll get my calves out.
A lot of three-quarter length of trow going on.
Maybe I don't like really like tight clothes, but there are lots of like wafty clothes.
Get some wafty clothes.
And I think the problem is as well, like you can, it becomes this thing where you're like, well, in winter I'm this.
And then in summer I become this sort of like weird, wafty hippie woman.
I don't really recognise.
But it takes time to kind of like find out what your summer, basically what your like summer look is and what your winter look is.
And it sounds so superficial to say that it's so based in looks.
But unfortunately, that is a society that we live in.
And I do think a lot of hatred of summer is for people.
It's rooted in like, I don't know what to wear.
Let's begin with the clothing.
Because I think that's people's, as you say, the biggest one.
the the dressing thing I think has to come from a place from within rather than like oh everyone will think this if I'm wearing the wrong thing I think so often it is winter people being like but I want to wear my big boots and my my trousers and my long-sleeved things and all my safe nice gear that I'm tucked in and I'm safe and now I'm boiling hot and you're expecting me to wear an open-toed sandal but I hate my toes or my knees are out or all of this there and then be like and then it becomes this horrible like oh it's
because I hate all the parts of my body
and backpedal yourself to go and listen to our body positive episode.
Oh, yeah, that was a good one.
I think it is a good one.
And I think it's like, oh, this is really deep.
I'm really insidious and really terrible that we're all like,
oh, but my knees are too horrible.
You're like, who gives a shit about your knees?
They're just a lovely joint that bends and now you can walk
and also do like a do the can-can.
That's what the point of a knee is.
You can't have it.
It's not possible to have a bad...
Medically, that's what your knee is for, the cam-can.
Like it's impossible to have one that's like not a nice one.
And again, like, it's very difficult for most people who have seen a magazine that featured like a red circle of shame around someone's knee, you know?
Oh my God, I used to work at those magazines and I would be responsible for hooping.
She was drawing the hoop on the bad knee.
I just didn't remember an article possibly in the Daily Mail, the female section, the most women hating thing maybe to exist on the planet that was like, can you wear shorts?
And then it was a quiz that basically only like, only a fraction of people would survive the quiz to be like, yes, you can wear shorts.
But they were like, have you got knees like, Beyonce?
Otherwise, cover them up.
And I was like, what's Beyonce's knees like?
And why can't we all?
Why can't we all?
I never thought before to be like, oh, knees are a crisis area.
But here was this whole page being like, your knees are too ugly.
Get them out.
Get them and get them away.
Well, it's like, I remember that thigh gap thing.
And when I was like, I remember when I first saw it.
I was like, what's that?
And then it was like, oh, it's way thighs.
Like, don't touch.
And I was like, oh, mine do.
I'd never before.
We didn't know it was a word before.
And now suddenly we're like, oh, oh.
Like, imagine if I invent the elbow challenge and everyone's like, what?
And then you'll be like, sorry, you all failed it.
You didn't know it was a problem, but now it's a problem.
I'm not even going to tell you what they're going to have elbows.
Yeah, but you don't have elbows.
The elbow challenge is very specific and will become a real, it'll become a real hit.
Yes.
But what I mean is sometimes it's so, it's very like body.
image things are very deep rooted and often can take a lot of time to unpick and unpack.
And you don't, and in the meantime, what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to wear a crop top in summer.
Absolutely not.
But you do have to embrace, embrace the idea that some of the, we're not saying cropped up and hot pants.
Though, I am saying, live your truth.
Put them on.
Oh my God, do wear a cropped up and hot pants.
Wear them.
It is quite thrilling.
I've recently got myself a pair of, like, day.
in shorts recently.
Do I look like Taylor Swift in them?
No.
Am I committing to wearing them?
Yes.
I feel, I'm like, I'm more like...
Of course.
You should wear whatever makes you comfortable.
Why not?
Well, they're more like...
It's more of like, fuck you
the establishment is the wrong words.
I mean like, fuck you my own brain for the last
25 years.
Like, that's what it is.
Fuck you my own brain.
Who said like this was the most embarrassing.
I could never ever wear these.
I'm like, fuck you.
I'm wearing them.
Here I am.
Look, no one gives a shit.
You do have to go through a bit of a process of like,
Yeah, fuck you. And we're not saying put on the tiny, tiny clothes, but do be like, why am I not?
Is it anything because like, if the end of the sentence is like, because I hate my insert body part,
be like, you've just got to do that bit of jump to be like, that's not fair.
Fuck you, my own brain. Yes, I can be allowed to put my arms out.
Like, yes, I can wear this big floaty, you know, and start with the big floaty stuff and then be like,
oh my God, I feel so much cooler and better. And now I'm not like sweating and also wearing the big stuff.
And everyone's saying, like, why are you wearing such? Just take your jumper off.
and you're like, no, I hate all my, all of it.
And so just like finding the right gear that makes you be like,
oh, this is cool and nice.
And actually it is, it is more pleasant to be something cool in the summer.
Yeah.
You want a gateway drug, a transition, smock, if we, if we may.
A fun, a big, a big shirt that you put overstop with.
That's very cool.
Very cool.
Something that you're like, oh, I can still get that winter safety of the, like,
the long sleeve, the feeling, but I can also do it in a cold.
and we're saying cool in a cold way.
In a cold way.
You know, I can still be,
it doesn't have to be heavy
to be covered up and light.
Yeah.
And then slowly, slowly,
edge in being like,
just experimenting with one arm out.
Just pop it out for a moment.
Put it back in.
Pop a wrist out.
Pop a wrist out.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, that's okay.
It's okay to have these body parts out.
Oh.
And I feel like I'm such an aggressive
sort of champion of this
because I feel like I wasted such a long time
being so,
you know, button to the chin
and to the toe, from chin to toe in the like, no, nothing must come out.
And now I'm like, what a waste of time.
Get it out.
Get those arms out.
Who gives a shit apart from you?
And like, wear it.
Like, get the sun on your skin.
Like, you don't have to be sat in a cardigan all the time.
Away from like the body positivity thing as well.
I have a thing where like we've gone through so many heat waves in the flat that I live in.
My flat is floor to ceiling windows and the sun faces it for half the day.
It becomes a greenhouse. We don't have air conditioning.
Still don't own a fan.
Just don't own a fan. Just buy a fan. I'm going to buy it.
I'm not saying that like going into your freezer in the middle of the night and just getting like some frozen peas and then like going to bed holding them doesn't do the same thing.
Because tried it. Works. Pop it on your chest. That's ways for us to keep yourself the coolers.
I had a guy about heat stroke and I had like, but basically it's like frozen peas, frozen corn, froze it like all over my body.
and then the night after, like I went to sleep cuddling a bottle of vodka that I'd put in the freezer
and I worked over the morning just cradling a bottle of vodka and felt fine about it.
But it was, so like that is an alternative.
If you can't.
Other things that can go in the freezer in a Ziploc bag, pillowcases.
Oh my God.
That's a great idea.
You're welcome.
Also like things like as well, my boyfriend said the other day, I don't really like eating outside.
And I was like, oh, that's interesting.
And I'm, I quite, I've started to like it a bit more, but I can't sound like as a wasps, I get really, really stress intense.
It's like, yeah, there's this whole thing of like, you're weird if you don't like doing stone.
Just, if you don't want to, just don't, you don't have to be outside.
Don't do it.
I think that's it.
Like, for me, I would live, I, to be honest, I find a house to be a burden.
And I would live, I would live outside 24-7 if I could.
Listen, different strokes for different folks.
and the chances are that you can't understand it
if somebody wants to do a different thing than you
but you've got to be like, okay, no problems
and not be like, this is speaking to children of summer
who maybe are corraling their inside friends outdoors
and it's like, but why don't you love it?
I don't get it.
And then the inside people are like, yeah,
you all look like the happy go lucky kids
and I guess I'm in this group.
But like if you're in the, embrace it.
That's who you are.
You're an inside gal?
Yeah.
Be an inside gal.
people are different sort of people and also it's very neat to go like some of people are really like happy go lucky and like winter people are really depressed and sad you know that's that's literally just like the light and the dark nights and you seem to conflate that with good and evil and that's not what happens actually what happens is is lots of different types of people like lots of different seasons there's no one better or worse but we do all have to go through the season so if this is not your favorite one it's possible
to also reach an amicable divorcee situation,
a respectful time with the season,
acknowledge it,
except that it has value,
that others enjoy it and tolerate it
or at least sort of, you know...
Just be civil.
Just be civil.
Be civil with it.
And the ways to be civil
are to make sure you're not sweating all the time
and there are so many ways around that.
They don't all have to cost money.
One simple summer dress
or one simple man's shirt
or whatever you're into, one of them, one will get you through the whole summer,
you know, just keep washing it on rotation.
Like, you don't have to have an amazing summer collection.
You just have, like, one bit that's like, oh, this is a great dress.
Like, this is, this does all the things.
I was essentially, like, once you've identified the things that you,
the reasons you don't like summer, then you can, like, address them.
So with me, it was clothes and wasps.
Wasps can't really address.
Although, coffee grounds, coffee ground, sorry,
far away from the picnic or a spoon of honey far away from the picnic.
That works really well.
So that's a good tip.
And clothes.
And so the clothes thing,
I had to like work.
I just decided one year I was going to like work quite hard to get rid of that as a barrier.
So then I could enjoy myself in some.
Also I'm like,
I'm really pale.
So like, well,
if you're that bothered about being pale,
just like put some fake tan on.
Yes, the patriarchy.
Whoa, we shouldn't have to work.
Who cares?
Like fake tan is fake tan.
It's fine.
like just puts them on if it makes you feel better.
Whereas I was always like, but my legs are the colour of milk.
And yeah, and like you just, and then that made me feel so much better about,
then it's just, am I too hot?
Love that as a problem.
That's fine because you can solve that.
You've got your frozen peas.
You've got your frozen sheets.
You've got your frozen sheets.
You've got all the, you've got a fan.
Then they're just, I'm too hot is so achievable as a, as a, as a.
I love that this episode, we've essentially been like, how to be a someone person?
get a fan, wear summer clothes,
and just live your life.
Like, you know what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I think that is the list, isn't it?
It's like, I don't like the bugs.
I don't like myself.
I don't like the attitude that everyone's like,
hooray, it's this,
if you don't personally like it.
And I don't like sweating.
And those are the crimes that are leveled against summer.
And it's possible to hurdle over all of them into a new like,
hmm, it's okay, actually.
it's okay it's all about your own perspective it's all about not being yourself up for not wanting to do something
absolutely because if i a child of the summer say like but don't you just love the idea of swimming in the river
and you're like no no i fucking don't because the water's very cold i don't like that yeah look you've got to
this age now you like what you like you don't like what you don't like nothing's gonna you don't have to
beat yourself up but not liking the things that everyone else does but i'm saying don't force yourself
into being the girl who's like i'll discard the things you know yeah yeah
You're like, I don't even want to fucking be here.
I've got things to do.
I've got things to do that.
You don't have to do this stuff.
I've got to prepare for.
I've got to prepare for winter now.
Yeah.
Because I'm so excited about it coming back.
I've got to go home to make a pumpkin or whatever my favorite is.
De-bobble all of my jumpers.
Oh, winter.
So I love winter.
I'm so excited to be.
Anyway, look, I'm sure that was one of the most useful and, like, yeah, insightful.
Helpful episodes.
I think it ultimately comes down to both of us shrugging and being like,
you like what you like.
Yeah, look, we came up with the title for a podcast.
I thought it was a good one.
I very much did.
And to honest, it was good, but it wasn't as, you know, it was just quite straightforward.
It wasn't as helpful, I think, as we both believed it would be when we began.
Yes, although I do feel good about the whole thing about, like, you just have to do what you would like to do and not let other people make you feel like, you know, summer and light and happy people and winter in dark.
No, it's like...
I do stand by that.
The summer winter people, no one is going to win you round in the debate.
If you are already, you've already seen everything that summer has to offer.
And if you are not impressed with any of those activities, like, you ain't, you ain't going to suddenly join in.
The best that you can hope for is just to like, be like, okay, I don't have to hate myself for not liking those things.
And then I bet it all just has to come down to like, are you wearing the right thing, you know?
Are you just too hot and are you stressed out because you've got your winter boots on still?
Is that part of the problem that you're like?
Yeah, it's like, are you angry or are you hungry?
It's the same thing.
Exactly.
Do you hate summer or are you just too hot and uncomfortable?
Do you hate winter or you too cold because you're wearing converse and gloves around your ankles?
Exactly.
Essentially, yeah, just boils down to that.
Look down to your ankles.
Are they uncovered in summer happily or in winter, are they got gloves on them?
Do you hate summer or has someone told you that you hate your knees?
That's very powerful.
Okay, we've got to leave on that.
Can't even think of anything to top that.
Do tweet us, look, we're running out a podcast episode ideas clearly.
So please do tweet us at Nobody PanicPanic Pod.
Yeah, we need some more ideas, I think.
Also, it's just quite hot and we're just like, I can't think of anything.
And tweet me at SteevM, the SS5.
I'm also on Instagram with that same monica.
Can we call that Monica?
Sure.
I think you'd smash that.
That's exactly right.
I've never confidently used it because it's just the word monica, isn't it?
It just sounds like the name Monica, yeah.
Mine's at Tessica.

We always love to receive your messages.
Your gmails.
Your gmails.
Tell us if you like summer.
Tell us if you hate summer.
Tell us a thing that made you transition to being like, oh yeah, okay, actually.
Okay.
I've thought I've made to this, but I see that it's all right.
Tell us if you've had a fantastic transition from prude to nude,
and you realize that you had wasted a lot of time not liking a part of your body,
and then you're like, fuck it, I'm wearing this now.
Love to hear that.
Now you're just a natureist.
Now you're a natureist.
When I'm old, I'm, I feel this.
I specifically do, I'm aiming to be an older woman who goes on naked holidays and just is naked.
That would be then I've lived my full life.
Like, unable to get my arms out at 21, fully nude at 70.
And then there's a journey that's happened there.
People, when someone sees an old woman who's very happily nude, you want to know their story.
Right.
Right? I have become her much too soon.
No, listen to our body positive episode,
because Tessa does delve into how she's actually only always nude.
That's her default now.
And it is truly because as a teenager,
I would make calculations in my head of like how much money would I pay,
not even how much to pay me to take on my clothes off right now,
how much would I pay to not have to take my clothes off?
Crackers, absolutely crackers, whereas now I do it for a packet of waivers.
Have a lovely nude week.
And don't be too hot by a fan.
Just follow our very insightful tips.
Follow these incredibly helpful instructions
and just take some of those clothes off
because I know you've got too many on.
Yes, I ask you.
Strip down.
Come on.
No one's looking.
Off you go.
Come on.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
