Starting point is 00:03:48 Very good That's the same thing in it Thank you This is my favourite so far, and it actually on the cover, cover, it says, read me, you won't regret it. I told all the men that get off to my Instagram today to start paying me per ejaculation, some of them already have. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:06 It's amazing. Put this event in my diary as soon as I bought tickets rather than kid myself that I was organized enough to remember it. Are you listening to that, Tessa? A diarized event. We love it. She's there. Mine comes direct from the American Midwest.
Starting point is 00:04:20 But in the land grab era of the 18th. century. I stewed some apples and made... I regret my impression. It was really good. But she's more of a West country pirate. I guess she's land grabbed her way to America. I stewed some apples and then
Starting point is 00:04:37 made potpourri with the peel. Hey! Poverry! Hi! Okay, final one, Kyle. I tried to find one that was close to the theme, but all I could find ones that were opposite to the theme. Sure, shut up. Okay. This person woke up in Munich, Germany.
Starting point is 00:04:53 this morning, got on a plane, and came to see your show tonight, got stressed at work and made myself feel better by spending £150 on ceramic pumpkins. I went to boozy brunch and did not end up face down in a park in central London. Yay! That's nice, that's nice. Well, done.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Yeah, great. Well, that's, yeah, all of them? It's party themed. It's party time. It's time to party. Okay, so I guess we should start, but I'm just going to open. put it very, very broadly, and be like,
Starting point is 00:05:25 best party you've ever thrown slash weirdest party you've ever thrived in. It's quite intense in it as a question. Okay, what is a party? Let's bring it back. Every time I'm with more than one person, it's a party. It's very true. You know, like, church can be anywhere.
Starting point is 00:05:42 That's what they say. A party can be anywhere. This is a party now. Look how many people there are. And what would you say that your components of a party is simply more than two people? Yes. No, well, no, that's a celebrity.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Three's a party. A party, I would say, is... Oh, hello. Gone. He's not... He didn't want to be at a party. No, thank you very much. I'm at a party now?
Starting point is 00:06:03 What? No way. Music, fun, drinks, vibes, jokes. I won't say vibes again, don't worry. I think that you should... I liked it. Yeah? Yeah, it was good. One of them said that they didn't like
Starting point is 00:06:15 that someone kept saying vibes next to them at lunch. And that was their adult thing. Yeah. They didn't like someone saying vibes. No, there was more than that. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, But that's why I threw it ferociously to the ground. Okay, no, no, sure.
Starting point is 00:06:26 What's like a party that sticks out in your mind, Tessa, as being like a good party that you left, being like, that was certainly a party I went to. When I was at school, we had a Lord of the Rings party in my... Of course. I hate this. You hate it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Okay. Yeah. In which case, didn't happen. No, I'm into it. No, we're into it. Why do you hate it? Because what is that? Go on.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Teller, explain. Okay, it was an all-girl's school. I don't know if that goes without saying. It was at my house. We took it so seriously by we, I mean, me and my parents. And my dad built a Hobbit door with a handle and everything.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Oh, my God. Then we built this sort of Eye of Sauron thing that was up a ladder. And then we made a little, oh, you hate it. I kind of look at you. Wait, no, no. Did you say you were at uni?
Starting point is 00:07:16 School. School. Oh, okay. Because I'm picturing you at 21 dinners. I'm 18. Yeah, yeah. I'm 18 years old. Sure, so, so, so.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And then everybody comes, dressed as something different from Lord of the Rings. Right. I feel like you're both at opposite ends of the party spectrum. You're like,
Starting point is 00:07:34 well, you're like two people, no, three people, sorry, it's a party. You're like, if the eye of Sarah on is not present. Unfortunately, it's just a gathering. That's just a gathering. If everyone isn't dressed as a character.
Starting point is 00:07:45 My friend Louise is dressed as a Gollum and she's wearing a pillowcase and she's on a rope. Oh, that's incredibly dark. The hobbits, her dad's a carpenter, and he'd got the wool that goes inside, like straw wool that goes inside an old sofa with your repurposing a sofa, and then they'd glued it to themselves with wood glue, and then the next day they had to go to A&E.
Starting point is 00:08:10 They'd made these like chests and feet and hands, so they were hobbits. They fused themselves to the materials. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. We didn't have no any boys. This is going to be really helpful as an episode for you, I feel. Because I think to me I'm like, I don't know how to have a party Because that's why I think a party is
Starting point is 00:08:27 You've been trying to recreate that ever since Yeah, just weeks of preparation And what do I do now? I have a party every year Like a big birthday party And then I have like a little party every weekend And the last one was on Saturday No, what day is it today?
Starting point is 00:08:46 At your house? Last Saturday. At your house? Yes. Not last Saturday. What's last Saturday? Like two days ago? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:53 The other one. Okay. Brilliant. And I planned that on Wednesday night. Okay. And how many people are we talking? About 40. And how did you, let's start.
Starting point is 00:09:03 How did you invite them? So what way do you invite? It's sort of like my... It's handmade scrolls posted through the letterbox. I imagine here. That's what I would have to do here. And so how are you inviting people? Drinks my house Saturday, 9-ish, heavy on the ish.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Yeah, very good. Okay. And you wrote the words heavy on the ish. That means don't come at nine. I won't even... I understand and I respect it 100%. I won't be there. Because where will you be?
Starting point is 00:09:30 I'll be like at dinner or something. Yeah, the last time I invited Kyle to a party that I was going to, I was like, it starts at 8 and he was like, yeah, I'll be there about 1130. I'm like, well, I'm going with you and I don't know anyone else. Can you please? And he was like, no. And then he invited me to a woman's...
Starting point is 00:09:45 I'm not just like, a woman's party. It wasn't a party, it was just a woman's balcony. I think wants to have sex with you. I was like, yeah, come on. I was like, I can't. So then I just stayed home because I was frightened. The power of your party compels me. I wish you'd come to that, actually.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Nobody, especially not her, wishes I'd come to that party. But yeah, so it's like, also as well, I feel like right from the off, setting out your wares as to what, that's a weird way of putting it, to what your party's going to be like, scrolls, I'm tense.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I'm like, well, I can't attend a party. A scroll has dropped through my door. Or like, I don't know, it just appears, my house, I didn't know who was there, or whatever. Because I'm like, what, I... An intense party. I tried to send a letter once through the post,
Starting point is 00:10:29 attached to a raven. It was... A fake raven. Obviously, a fake raven. But it was like a big plastic bird. Did you put the stamp on the raven? I got to the post office and I asked the post office man exactly that question,
Starting point is 00:10:43 where should we put the stamp? And he said, Madam, you have to leave. You can't... And he just held it up like this. And he was like, what's this? And I was like, in Game of Thrones, the Ravens from the Citadel. And he was like, what the fuck are you talking about? And then he said something like, this is a serious government operation or something. You can't send this?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Like this through the post. And I was like, the Ravens. Yeah. So I think you've got to set up that it's a chill vibe. Okay, so just a text. Yeah. WhatsApp, I'd imagine. A group or just?
Starting point is 00:11:15 Just, yeah, just like. Do I start a group or not? Do all the groups first. Oh, on. Oh, I'm dripping in spite. Right. Okay, what you do, what you do is you write out one invite, right? And then you copy that and you just paste, paste, paste it. Pace, page, page, paste, paste.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah, okay. And then people start getting back to you, bling, cling, cling, cling. Can't make it, I'm in Hungary. Okay, all of that. So, okay, immediate first question. I can't make it, I'm in Hungary. What do we do to stop the dread that everyone's in Hungary? No, they can't all be...
Starting point is 00:11:45 Unless everyone's saying I'm in Hungary, like you're getting other notifications, I imagine. No. No. If all your friends are in Hungary, you should be in Hungary. Yeah, go to Hungary. Yeah, I should. But yeah, you just send them out
Starting point is 00:12:00 and a lot of, like, some people won't be able to make here, something. But I feel like with me, people know that it's going to be like... Sick. No, not just that. I will tell you last minute. So you're like, oh, there it goes again.
Starting point is 00:12:12 But maybe if you were to send out a party invite two days before, your friends might be like, what the fuck? No, I think they would think that was very on brand. And they said there, she's done it again. she's having a breakdown before her birthday but we still won't go because we're in Hungary Oh great
Starting point is 00:12:26 Well then just do that Wednesday Yeah I mean you've got What day is it today? Monday Monday And you've got time to like You couldn't construct your draft Okay and is there any theme I can tell that there's not
Starting point is 00:12:41 Oh no oh no Because like fun the thing is Because if there's no theme Dying to do Lord of the Rings again Yeah But by definition fun is the theme, you know? Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Whereas when you put another theme in, fun is secondary. This is good stuff. Because, okay, where would you do? In your house? In my house, yeah. Yeah, great. And you've got, like, a system
Starting point is 00:13:02 that you can play music on. Not yet, but... You better believe I'm going to get one. What do you play music on normally? I don't have any music. Okay. Des has never listened to music before. I don't really...
Starting point is 00:13:15 I just sort of think. I don't really listen to music. What do you mean? You're flat. Wait, Kyle, you said today that you've never drank water, so, I don't know. What do you mean? Today, he literally was like,
Starting point is 00:13:29 I didn't drink water until I was 25. And we were all just looking for ages. Yeah. So. Yeah. No. You know. No.
Starting point is 00:13:38 What did you drink? Capri son. Yeah. Yes. You were good. Yeah. Oh, yes. No, yes.
Starting point is 00:13:44 My mom used to get exclusive flavors from the market. Like dragon fruit. Tropical fruit. My mum got dragon fruit Capri Sun from the market. Why would I drink water? Wow. That's a good point. Thanks. Okay. None of them at the party.
Starting point is 00:13:59 No. No, Capri Sun? No. Isn't that fun or not? No. I can tell it's not. Okay. I mean, yeah. Okay, so, okay. The music thing, I guess I just... Someone will have a Bluetooth speaker,
Starting point is 00:14:13 or you just get a Bluetooth speaker. I think I lack my confidence in my taste so badly with the music. that I don't want... Yeah, but you don't have to worry about that. You put something on... The Dixie Chicks. The Dixie Chicks.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Sorry, what did you say? The Dixie Chicks. Okay. Okay, could do. But also, the Spotify playlist called things like, you're having a party now. Party time.
Starting point is 00:14:35 It's partyville. You know, like that's... I don't put... I don't think... Don't put... I don't think... Oh, if it's a Dixie Chicks... No, there's no theme.
Starting point is 00:14:43 So there's no theme. It's just like fun. It's easy because you just put on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, you know? That's the only thing that's easy about having a theater party. There's nothing else easy. Go on Spotify and I say party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:56 You don't say it. My nightmare is that I am asked to DJ like now. Who's going to ask you? Who's going to tell her to do else and go, excuse me, can you DJ your own house? It's a nightmare. I'm at a rave. And someone says like, and I have to, I'm sorry if I made eye contact with anyone in truth. I didn't mean to.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Then I have to come up. They point at me in the crowd. I've won a prize. The prize is D. and I have to go up and I have to DJ for an hour. It won't. I think that's fine in certain contexts. I don't know where, but I open with Pirates the Caribbean.
Starting point is 00:15:29 He's a pirate. And I try and build from there. It's not bad actually. So can I, I just search Spotify party and then I can... Just go on Spotify and search party. Just go on Google and go Spotify party. I think you've got to like parties. And it will give you loads of options.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Okay. You just pick one of them. Okay. And then that is not your responsibility. anymore because someone will definitely come in and go, oh, what the fuck is this? It doesn't matter what it is. Someone will take it
Starting point is 00:15:57 they'll decide that they're the DJ now. When they say that, how do I not die a thousand deaths? You go, great, I've got a DJ without even having to employ one. Is it great? Now, now everyone's involved in this party that we are creating. It's the community.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It's not personal. They're just saying, what is this? Unless it's you singing. A track of you singing. Well, they'd be in there right, because I'm not a good singer. There's actually very little that you have to do because you're already providing the shelter,
Starting point is 00:16:26 the accommodation, the venue. I knocked down a wall in my house specially for this. To make enough space for the party. You don't even have two different rooms. No, one big room, just for this. Perfect. So you've done that. And it's just me alone, silently, no music.
Starting point is 00:16:41 You tell everyone to bring a bottle, but you have a little selection, and I mean like just a fun selection of obvious vibes. By that time, I meant drinks. Can I offer an idea? I fill the bath with cold water. Ice. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:17:00 No, come on. I feel like I just fell asleep and woke up and it was like 20 minutes later and you were talking about something else. Come on. This is honestly, you know what, I had this whole structure of like, I was going to throw some party curveballs.
Starting point is 00:17:12 The entire curveball is the fucking co-host of the show. Okay. And you had issues for dinner parties. but I did not know that... Just at any party, it was this. What if all the cold drinks are in the bath? In an ice bath?
Starting point is 00:17:24 Okay, sure. Just bobbing about. What if? Yeah, that's fine. And then you go all drinks in the bath and think of that's cool. You can do, where's your bath? Is it one floor? One floor.
Starting point is 00:17:31 So you don't have to go upstairs to get drinks. Okay, great. One floor, very small house. Oh, yeah, perfect. So then it's yards away. Yeah. Just ice. You don't need to put the water in.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Understood. The ice will become water eventually. Are you a scientist as well as an actor? Thank you so much. Yeah, and then you can put a couple, like, beers and that or whatever, our wife. And then a couple, like, everyone else who drinks like... You're so tense. Everyone that drinks the spirits and stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:00 They'll bring that. They'll bring it. Yeah. Do you do have to get mixes. You have to get... Mixes. Make sure you've got enough mixes. Caprican.
Starting point is 00:18:08 They always go first. Okay. You can't get dragon fruit capersan anymore. My mom got all of them. Tonic Diet Coke, lemonade. Yeah, yeah. Ginger ale, ginger beer. And if someone doesn't like it, they'll just nip to shop and go it.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I mean, if you arrive at a party, you're like, oh, I like dragon fruit capriot, then you'll just be like, oh, I'll just go and get some, you know? Okay. You don't have to die a thousand deaths for that. Okay. Yeah. All of that's taken care of. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:31 So all you've had to do is pour beers in a bath. Perfect. Yeah? Okay. And I've got my soft drinks. I've got loads of, how much coke are we talking? Oh, hello. Coke of Coke of Coke?
Starting point is 00:18:39 Hello. We have jumped their heads. How many fat lines were putting in my shower, I'd imagine? Okay. Nightmail number one. You're up to DJ. Nightman number two, do you know where to get any Coke? And then they just give me the cash and they say, get the Coke.
Starting point is 00:18:57 No, no one does that. How are you feeling at a moment? I'm going to have a heart. I'm actually quite good. Now we've dealt with I don't have to get the cocaine. Yeah. Because that is, poor, that's been here. And then, genuinely.
Starting point is 00:19:13 So now that's over. I'm like, okay, I'm just the shelter and I am the tonic. Yes. And that's it. And some wine and beer. And some wine and beer. Yeah. So I'm off.
Starting point is 00:19:21 And also all of the main things people will ask each other, where's the toilet, for example? Right. They'll ask someone else. You don't give people a tour every time they come in. And no signs. No. For a two-bed flat, no signs, mate.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Okay. You're fine. But what I wanted to ask is, so this is like, it's not really a party kerbable, it's just like, what happens when people arrive that you don't know and they're a bit dodge or you're not quite happy with them in your house? Like, what do you do about that? You know, like, someone's like,
Starting point is 00:19:49 oh, yeah, there's like 12, you're fine with them. I can see you smiling. That's actually fine. I was like, yeah, bring it in. Okay, that's my... Well, no, it depends. I mean, I had that at my 30th where there were a group of boys
Starting point is 00:20:01 that were just from the area that were like, well, we've got to come in because we're from around here. That's not, I think. And what did you say? And I was like, well, no, because like, I'm in a suit and you're in, like, a boiler construction. You're in a construction.
Starting point is 00:20:16 You're in a scaffold. Are they fresh from work? Yeah. It's just down tools. You're wearing a skip. But eventually, I just said, 30 pounds. 30 pounds cash, but you'd have an eyes at all. 30 pound each.
Starting point is 00:20:37 150, pay for the DJ. Wow, okay. Yeah. Like we said, a grandmaster is in our midst. Charging people to get to the party. Yeah. They were just like, no, no, no, because there's girls in there, in it. So, like, can we?
Starting point is 00:20:54 And there was a lot of back and forth and me like, my mother is in here, so, and you're dressed like a rap scalian. But eventually, I was like, do you know what? They're not going to, they want to have a nice time, they don't want to cause trouble, fine. And if they did, then there was a lot of my friends. Right, I was going to say, so what's the plan B
Starting point is 00:21:13 for if they come in and they're being rap scallions? It was a well-attended party. Yeah. And I know some questionable characters. Right. So always invite gangsters to your point. party in case you need them to turn people away.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Anyone I don't know, yeah, 30 pounds. Come on in. Yeah, 30 pounds, yeah. Perfect. What if I take an ID off them? What do you think of that? How are you going to regulate that? I take it.
Starting point is 00:21:41 In my pocket? When you leave? They will rob you down. Just out of annoyance, I'd rob you if you do that at a party. I would too. Okay, what happens if your ex shows up unannounced to the party. They've broken your heart and they brought a new partner.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And it's your party. Oh my God, I'm really invested in this. A new partner, that's so shitty. Fire alarm. Fire alarm. Oh, fire them. Set fire to the pot. Set your own fire alarm. But that's really cutting off your nose to spite your face. That's your party. Because it ruins the party. End of party. Not the end.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Have you never done like a fake ending to your party? Okay. I have done... I've got chills. I'm quite good support at other people's party. and I have done the police have been called we've got to go and then I gave a secret wink to everyone who was allowed
Starting point is 00:22:30 to return so you went around and going why if they hadn't heard you say that and then say here's your ID thank you for coming here's your ID okay I've done police a call we've got to go wrap it up everyone what's your fake ending well it depends on what's saying
Starting point is 00:22:46 I mean my neighbour's house sometimes not okay sorry so in my building we get noise complaints if you've been too loud. We've only ever had two noise complaints despite the fact that we have a party every day. The first one, the first one was the first time that I ever had a party there,
Starting point is 00:23:07 which was July 2020. Understandably, people were still like... Illegal. What's that? What's that? But then... Great. The next time was... You have to say the date, man.
Starting point is 00:23:20 No, July was fine. We were eating Calamari outside, it was fine. And the second time was last weekend. That's a good innings. Yeah. And I just moved quite a lot of people to my neighbour's house. Into the house who had complained? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Other neighbours. No, the neighbours. I was like, you think this is loud. Here we fucking come. The neighbour's a friend. You're like, and now it's a breakaway group. Yeah. Overflow.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Who do you decide? Who goes in the overfill? Well, like. The good people or the bad people. This is me. So now I'm like, okay, some people have to go in the overspill. I will allocate people with a sticker if you are in the overspill. I mean, you're not going to get a noise complaint. You don't even have any music.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Or any friends or any guests. It's just me in the bath. With all the drinks. But now I just have to be like, it's not on me. That's not my job. I do provide the shelter and the tonic water, you know? People do so much for you on your birthday. Everyone's like willing to help.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Think about how you are on other people's birthdays. The police had been called and allocating a sticker to people. I was up high with you and you went behind the bar and started serving drinks. Yeah. It was very un... They did not like it.
Starting point is 00:24:31 No. No, it wasn't into it at all. No. But they were low on people. Yeah. There was one man. Yeah. And he couldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:24:39 So I went to help. Yeah. So like, people are willing to do that. So outsource. Outsource. Outsource. Okay. Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yeah. I feel amazing. Well, you've done... You've sent out of the invites is enough work. Okay. All you've got to do is make sure that like whatever is playing the music is not going to die.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Yeah. Good electricity source. And you've got enough like mixes or whatever. But even with that, you just like shops down there on the left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Limes, got to get some limes. Get a couple of limes. A couple of limes.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah. Make it look like I've tried. Yeah, make sure there's some tequila for me. Okay. What do I do about, okay, downstairs and across don't particularly care for me. Right. Do I say it's a party in advance?
Starting point is 00:25:17 You just like pop a thing under the door just being like, we're going to be having a party on Friday. Do I say do pop in? I wouldn't say it like that to anyone. I think like you can't you can say and people won't or if they do they'll literally arrive for like five minutes
Starting point is 00:25:35 and they'll be like, well obviously I'm just no and then leave. They're not going to come and just like stay there for the whole night. But I think it's a nice thing to come and do we go we are having a party just so you know that's probably enough. You agree? Do you do that? No. No. But you agree that is nice. I will tell my neighbours to come in. I'll just knock and I'd be like, party.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And they're like, oh, okay. And then they're talking to my old school friends about coding or something. That's nice. Yeah. I wish I lived nice, George, to you. I'd love that. Wouldn't be nice?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Yeah. We'd be a really, I think we could really do good party work. I mean, you'd regularly text me saying, turn that down. But aside from that, I'd love it. I hope that you know about me that above all else, I am not a grass. And I never, ever tell off the music.
Starting point is 00:26:20 That's what grass is. Somebody who never tells off the music. I would lie there, being very cross with you, listening to you having sex, but I would never, ever, ever tell you off. I would hate that. If I knew that you were just, they're like... No, I wouldn't, but I would just...
Starting point is 00:26:38 I would... And then I saw you in the morning, you were like, hello? I'd be gutted. I wouldn't say that, I would say, hello. Ah, right. As well, you know. I don't mind noise. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:49 All right. And I'm not... At 3 a.m.? Hey, I'm coming round. I'm staying at the party. Oh, great. I am good fun. Never, never has anyone sounded less fun than that.
Starting point is 00:27:04 But I am all right. You are fun. No, I know that. But if you were neighbours, I think that you'd probably... Ultimately, perhaps I would tire it. You'd have some stuff to do in the morning. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I'd come around, we'd do it together. Yeah, okay. Okay, so you're not... You just knock on and say, party? Yeah. Okay, and I'll say... Guys, party, fancy it? And then...
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yes or no? Okay, so what sort of false endings, or how do you wrap a party up in a nice moment? It's like, I don't know, six in the morning or whatever. Someone's being sick in the toilet, we've all got to go. Great, okay. I need to clean up. Yeah. My mum's coming.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Yeah. That's a good one, yeah, yeah. And you just say, that's it. Wrap it up. Or you literally just turn the music off and turn the lights on. Everyone starts feeling weird. Whatever everyone boos you then? Do your friends boo you?
Starting point is 00:27:54 I boo at that point. Oh, right, okay. I mean, I'm not talking from experience because I've never... Never turn the music off, yeah. Yeah. But I boo. I would just go to bed. You would boo at a party. I would boo if the music turned off and the lights go on.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Like, sometimes I'll just go to bed. Like, I don't want the party to stop. No. I'm just like... Yeah, I'm just going to say that's what I do. Like, I just sort of go to bed and, like, you know, that's fine. And you don't tell anyone you're going to bed. Unless you want the party to stop and then you tell everyone you go into bed and they know that means get out of my house.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Yes. But otherwise, I'm just like, slipping off. Nice. Great. Not always. Let's end with Kyle's slipping off. Well, yeah. I'm absolutely in awe of you.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Does no one ever turn you down when you, do you never? Yeah, all the time. Like my party this year, my 30... How old am I? My 33rd was this year and I had a big mansion party in Brighton. You were both invited, neither of your game. I couldn't. Let's get the text up.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I was out of the country and I attempted to fly back in time. So I'm good fun. I like to attend things. I did try it very hard. Yes, I know. Next year. Keep it free. 10th of March.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Every day of March. In just in case there's a warm up and a debrief. There will be. You know? But I send an invite out to maybe like, quite a lot of people. It was a big old house and it had a big old pool and it was great. But only about 100 people came out of the people that I... That's quite a good amount of people.
Starting point is 00:29:23 That noise you just heard was people being like, imagine having a hundred friends. People went a hundred. Only a hundred. Like that. Collectively as one. Yeah. That's a lot to have in your house.
Starting point is 00:29:37 But in someone else's house. It's fine. It's fine. And five of those worked in construction down the road. They helped build the house after we broke it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Do you break it? A little bit. A little bit. It's got... If someone else's house in a manner, you've got to break it a bit, you know. You're the rolling stones.
Starting point is 00:29:53 You know? Yeah. I individually am the road. Here he is. Okay. My last anxiety to bring us home, I invite this friend from school, this friend from this group,
Starting point is 00:30:04 this group from here, somebody from comedy, my neighbor who hates me, and the man at the post office who, after the pigeon situation, we made friends, the Raven. And now I'm like, is everyone having a good time?
Starting point is 00:30:18 You are the king of mixing friendship groups. I love it. Yeah, so how do you do it? How do you not be worried? Tell us that. about that time when with the Raven. Oh, once I went to the post, I was from Raven.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Oh, I love her. She's so great. And you two are having a sick time. And yeah, I've seen you at work with those sorts of things where you often, when we hang out, you will bring like, yeah, 17 people from all different places that I've never met before. You're like, I was hanging out, I'm like, I can't, I like. But actually, by the end of the night, everyone's chatting,
Starting point is 00:30:47 everyone's having a great time. You're a real great facilitator, and I think the issue is, is that I'm very tense about that, so I'm bringing, we're both bringing our tensions. Huge tension. But you've got to pretend you're not tense. Just be like, this is a cool vibe. Three things in 10 minutes, and they've all been the word vibe.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Do you ever feel it, feel that party tension of like, oh my God, everyone's in my house, are they having a good time? Is it cringe? Is this a cringe party? Do you feel it but just crests through? Or do you literally never feel it? It's too strong, isn't it? Like sometimes, but like, for example, last weekend, there were two people that had come to my house before I'd got there.
Starting point is 00:31:26 So understandably they're a bit like, well But then they... Where were you? How long did they wait? I think I was like dinner or something. They're not good friends if they showed up on time to you. Honestly, come on. Come on.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I said nine. You got there at 10? What are you doing? So they were quite like sit down on the couch. Yeah. How did they get in? A lot of this. I got a housemate and he was...
Starting point is 00:31:50 So he was hosting. Yeah, he didn't know what was happening. He found out we were having a party as people arrived. Yeah. Bad energy. Yeah, it was very... But that's on them, not you. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:31:59 That's the crucial thing. Sometimes other people come in in their life. Yeah. Puff, puff, puff. Yeah. And it's great. And then you get noise complaint and you throw everyone in your neighbor's house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Okay. Okay, so you just crest through. Yeah, yeah. Tezza, do you feel like you'll be able to crest through? Yeah, and I'm going to do it. Rather than making a guest list, I can see that that is not something we do, I'm going to just, rather than being like,
Starting point is 00:32:22 okay, this group, will they mesh, will these great people? I'm just like, blanket invite. Yeah. Fucking come. Yeah, yeah. That's all you should say.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Don't give a date. Don't have a time. It just says, party, Friday, 8-ish, heavy emphasis on the is, the bath is full of ice. And the showers full of fat lines.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Shows full of fat lines. The Dixie Chicks are on the record player. Or not, if you don't, if you want to bring your own thoughts on that. Fine. The beats be on. The beats be on. What?
Starting point is 00:32:54 That's good. That was going so well. So well. Well, even though I said the Dixie Chicks were on the record player. I liked it. It's all right. And then I just say, party, come. You've been to a party.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Come to do one of those at my house. I'd love that. I would love that. Yeah? Yeah. Were you free on Friday? No. No.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Okay. Well, thank you so much, Kael. You know, you've just created a party. So please give them around applause. Give yourselves round of applause. You've been absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for coming. We're at Nobody Panic.
Starting point is 00:33:25 What's your Twitter handle? I always forget it. Do you want people? You'll fine me if you want it. Oh Jesus, yeah. That's the vibe you very much bring to the party. But do you not want them? Yeah, well I... You'll be sick of it. Okay, fine. He's very good online.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Carole actually invented the term platy jubes for the platinum jubilee. Not even joking. That's not a joke. He invented it. It invented it. It was on the news. On the news.
Starting point is 00:33:49 So thank you so much to Sosovo theater and to Naomi for hosting us. And good night, everybody. Thank you!
