Oh, here we go. Oh, here we go. It was halfway through the recording. This is, this is a shambles from the off-rob. It's vintage.

Oh, here we go. Though. There we go. That was a nice one, Alice, can you see Josh Whitticum? There we go. That was a nice one, isn't it? I couldn't really hear it. What was going on there, mate? Hello, Rob and Josh. This is our 103 month old son, Sam, so that's 8, asking our 29-month-old Ellis, that's two and a half, whether he can say your names. Could you guess where they're from?

The son is called Ellis. Right. Where do you think they might be from? Ellis? They're from Wales, Rob. Oh, is Ellis a Welsh name? Well, the only Ellis I know who's a man is Welsh. So it's 100% hit rate.

Are they from Wales? Yes. OK, cool. Oh, that's wrong. In South Wales. Lovely, lovely part of the country. You can't say it, but I want to go there. Yeah. You can say you want to go there, but I can't say the name of the place.

Yeah, yeah. You can't say how you can't. We can't speak it out loud of. It's just, I don't want to get cancelled. Um, is it true that you're totally view free on that because you're so terrified of a free of view? The thing about me is, I don't have an opinion. I forgot that you have no opinions on anything. Well, that's my goal. Well, that's my goal.

Don't worry, I'll find it. Anyway, what's she up to now? Wellie? Well her. Do you know what? I saw recently that she interviewed Ryland about his book. Nice, okay.

I don't know. Rick Waller's shifted the weight. Has he? Well, in 2015, Just probably buying loads of new clothes, that's what I'd do. Just gonna go down Top Man again, slide into some 32 waist. Why? Because I can. I've got some awful news Rob. Yeah, go on. Top Man closed about three years ago. Did it? Oh God. Well luckily Rick Waller lost his weight in 2015. There we go. There we go. So at least he got to enjoy top man.

Yeah. Wow, well I never. What a way to find out. Oh no, I really wanted a terrible leather jacket. Where am I going to go now? I don't know enough about the High Street, Rob. I'm in a real Rick wall a deep dive here. What's boohoohoo? What's boo-hoo Rob? Boohoo is online clothes, like a rival to

ASos, but it's quite fast-fashioned so it's quite cheap dresses. And then the owner of that son invented pretty little thing and they do that but for younger like sort of teenage. I tell you what, Rick Waller's had some looks. I'm on a deep dive of Rick Waller here. Rob, we're in the middle of a podcast. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob.

That is fucking bananas, isn't it? Right, so can I just talk you through these Rick Waller looks? All right, and then could I ask you what you think the two songs that are more popular than Shane Warder? And got, you've got to try parenting hell.

Rick Waller's had red air, blue air, and what looks like one single dread on the side of his head going down to what I'd describe as just a chin beard. Oh wow. I mean now I'm trying to find Rick Waller. I don't think he's online anywhere. Has he got kids? I don't know. Let's let's let's let it be th be th be th be th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi. the' th. th. th. th. the' the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the Are they the two songs? No, no, sorry, I thought you were telling me, let it be, let's move on from Rick Waller. Let it be, let's move on. We desperately have to move on from Rick Waller. So what are the two songs that beat Shane Ward's? It sold on its first day 313,000 copies in one single day.

In one seat, that's when CDs. What a time it was to be selling music. Imagine the phone call from his agent. Oh my God, where's Simon Cowell, I presume. You've sold 300,000 copies in day one, so that means you're up to 7 quid in royalty, Shane. Do you reckon those bands, you know those bands got put together by sort of big producers and then the producers obviously got a bit more of the money. I mean you with Michael, yeah, yeah.

Do you think that they have ran up like the numbers like I think? I think it'd be tough. I think it'd be really tough. I'm just work out. Not to be resentful. Do you know what I mean? Rick Waller played in goal in Soccer Six. Okay. Are you still there still going with Rick Waller? Celebrity soccer. I just, I've never... Do you want the two singles that sold more than Shame Ward?

He's like David Bowie. I've never seen anyone have so many different versions of themselves. Is he? Is he? That's off putting. than Rick Waller comparing himself to David Bowie. Well, he's also an examining vigilator now. Is he? That's off-putting. Imagine trying to... That is off-putt.

Imagine trying to... You can't have a celebrity. Is that Rick Waller with a dread? You can't crunch through your Math's GCSE with Rick Waller. You can't crunch there. with you Rob. Yeah. If you're doing your math GCSE, you don't know who Rick Waller is unless you've been held back quite a few years. I'd say stick Rick Waller, oh my god, he had a pony towel that was purple, shaved at the side. Stick Rick Waller into, oh now I'm on another deep d'like. Do you remember Rick Snowden from the Voice? He lost a load to wait? the photo to wait. Rob, Rob.

Excellent work, you all. How are you wrong? Can I just finish off the Rick Waller stuff? I've got one more, two more bits of information, okay? He's basically lost a load of weight, and now I think he works in education in Kent.

Okay, lovely story, happy ending. But at one point in 2007, fell in love with a pagan who banned him from performing. The relationship didn't last. It says. Oh God. So he's all from his Wikipedia page. No, it's not what I've gone everywhere. Anyway, Rick Waller, if you're listening, get in toucest. toub's tough. I was a big fan of Rick Waller.

Very grateful. Yeah, it's word of mouth now, isn't it? Because we've done all

our promo basically, basically. So thank you for buying it. Rob, we have spent an incredible amount of time together in the last few weeks. I know, it's remarkable, isn't it? We did four days of the audio book. Yes. We then done the full promotional tour, plus a different photo shoot. Yes. Plus on the Sunday for some reason, we fitted in a couple of podcasts. We're now doing another two on the Wednesday. I feel like I don't think I've ever spent more the the the the I know, you're enjoying it, up close and personal.

It's interesting. No, I am actually. Do you know what? You're a very easy company, Rob. Thank you, much against a lot of the press around me. Don't believe the hype. I'm an easy company. I'm not as annoying as Romish makes out.

Maybe he's the tough. I'm an easy guy, thanks Josh, I'm quite chilled, aren't I? You are very chilled actually. You get excitable. Big time. But it's always good natured. It's always good natured.

we knew how.

We do love him. That was our best interview, I think. But he, beforehand, I can't remember what was happening. They were talking about abusive referees in children's football. And you were bubbling over with all the things you were going to do when you got on the show. All the things that you can do to end our careers. But I find it's so exciting to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have the at any point you can change your entire life like like that. But not in a positive way. It's fairly like completely terror like literally my children's futures falling through my fingers like sand in the wind. Gone. No more holiday. No more is your dad a nice guy? Screaming from vans. You wangar. Daddy why are they screaming you're a wanker? Because I've

been cancelled kids, welcome to the Thunderdome. Welcome to the Thunderdome? Oh yeah, when you get cancelled you still exist. You've got to find a new way to exist. What would you do Rob? I'll ring up Jim Davidson and go, do you need an opener? Let's go to work. the thooo' the todayock Generation, that's how I see you. It depends what you've been cancelled for. You've got to find your people, haven't you? You've got to find your tribe. Say, say you had to quit comedy tomorrow, what are you doing? If I'm quitting comedy tomorrow and I weren't allowed to do comedy, well anything

broadcasting or anything like the things that are related to comedy so podcasts or radio or I do some sort of face-to-face selling and build a business from that. Yeah, you know those guys that walk around with like, you know, you know market traders with that like a really good mop? Yeah, oh right, so yeah, yeah, fair enough. Or on Oxford Street just bang out a shop with a load of cheap perfume. Yeah, no, top man's not doing that well. T' their tho' their their their their their their their thin's thin's thin's thin's thin's thin's thin's thin's thin, thin, thin, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er's tho'er, tho'er's tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, tho'er, thi.

Actually, the amount of perfume getting that building. But yeah, no, hopefully I won't be canceled. I do, I do manage to stay focused. And you're a lot more chilled.

I thought you'd be a little break from casual drinking, Rob. From brown noise? Just a little break from brown. Do you know what? I need to, like I've not drunk for ages. Last couple of nights I had a few drinks who loosed, it was an anniversary, went out for dinner. You feel rubbish the next thing. Oh my god, I just hate myself. My throat is all dry. My pisses like, it's horrible. Looks like I've had five baroque's and a pint of Bovrol.

It's churning out of me. I... It's horrid. I'm bored. It looks like some sort of bake-off mixture. I'm pouring it in. I'm getting excited. I'm getting excited. I'm sorry, it's awful.

As I said, you can get excited. This is like pre now mood. Pre now. Oh God. Yeah, sorry, go on. Drinking, casual drinking. Yeah, do you know what? What about the casual sex? It sort of comes with it. What are you doing? No, I gave him years ago. But casual drinking, it's a waste of time. Yeah, I feel very down the next day. And I'm like, was it worth it for three glasses of wine? No. No, no, well yeah, I think that's a good idea. Well, I stopped for a bit and then when, especially when it was to build up to the book coming out because you're so busy. But it's not good for you, especially with kids. You can't cope the next day. No, you really can't. So what you're just stopping drinking? Well, no. No. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I've that. I've that. I've that.

Was that underlined, do you reckon? I don't think that helped, but I think if I'm honest with you, Rob, I'm suffering from burnout after 10 years of overwork.

Yeah, okay, that's not that. That's not helped. I think that's, I think that's the main cause is that I've telling myself that I need to stop working so hard for the last seven years, haven't done it, and my body's gone, I've had enough. Yeah, because there was a period where every time I said what you've been up to, you either were being sick or at the shit. Yeah, I'll be honest with you, Rob. Full disclosure. Yeah. I think in many ways, I'll look back on this as a good things to to to to to to to to to to to to to th thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing to to to to to th thing thi as a good thing thi as a good thing to to thi as a good thing as a good thing as a good to that's that's a good that as a good that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that it takes a long time to get through this kind of period of your life.

Oh, the burnout bit. The burnout bit? Come on, I've had a couple of days off. Give me a break. Give me a fucking chance. Can't I just be better now? Can't be better? Come on!

Yeah, so yeah, three days off work won't really... you're still working loads, so... Turns out when you go back to work, you're still barely burned out, who knew? Look, I've had the morning off. That should have sorted burnout. Yeah, come on. I just went to a cafe for lunch on my own and read a book. Isn't that enough?

Oh yeah I think you might need to just overall ease off on the work in general. I said no to going back to do a mock the week episode. That's gonna make me feel better now isn't it? Anyway, was that the finale? They asked whether I do one of the kind of guest episodes at the end. Right, never mind. That's harsh of you isn't it?

Oh, the other thing is, I don't know if you're getting this. My kids climb on me and jump on me, but they're getting to the point, because they're older

now and bigger, that yesterday I nearly blew my knee out when my knee was bent over and they jumped on me, but like it felt like some sort of gang attack, when their gang attack, where they like held me, you know when footballers, the ACL goes, it was bent back like fully like rigid, and they jumped on it and it nearly, my leg nearly snapped in half. They actually hurt me. It's dangerous. This would be a good call, as your child ever really hurt you. Yeah, not on purpose, but by accident broken something.

In a funny way, and threw me off the boat. Yeah, exactly. At the end, some sort of Hollyoaks ending, late night, Hollyoaks. But yeah, in a funny way, well, they've hurt you by accident. The younger the kid, the better. I bet there's a few broken noses from head butts. Oh, and didn't Andy Murray get a broken nose? Yeah, haven't you? That is an odd thing to know. I just remember him having a bloody... It was when we were doing this and I thought, well he'd be a good booking. Stand by it. He's got a broken nose of his kid. There's an anecdote. Bad. I think it. Oh no, yeah,

he's got a broken nose, I think from his kid. Baby daughter, yeah. There we'll get him. Yeah. We'll get him. Yeah. Just wait. he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he's got. he's got. he's got he's got he's got he's got he's got he's got he's got he's got he.

Right, correspondence. We haven't done any for ages, so let's do some.

Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Hello, Rob and Josh. Of course, wow, we've done that already. Yours Rick Waller? Yours Rick Waller. Gotta go, I'm overseeing a GSE business studies, a foundation paper in three minutes time. I really enjoyed you scrambling around for what an exam would be. Oh my god, I was panicking. Do they even do GSEs anymore? I said, I thought, GMV Cube, I think they might have bit in the dust. Anyway. Rob, do you want to know something?

Sorry. Go on. All way. They don't do A, B, C, D, and E anymore. They do numbers. No, it's A, Bocard. Oh, yeah, very nice. That's one for our phonics thanks. six or something. So what do you want? What's best? One? I just want the world to stop changing.

I just want everything to be as it was when I was a child. That's all I'm asking. Café's stopped closing, GCSEE grades remain the same. Yeah, because no cafe shut in the 80s, did they? When you was a kid, everyone was flying. Rob, I voted leave for a reason. Right. Rob and Josh. Your podcast has provided us with so much laughter over lockdown, has even played a part in keeping us sane as you both trained for the marathons in 21 and 22. Previously, you advise your listeners from doing the no pants dance in March. This is no sex in March because of the Christmas baby. Advice my partner and I, he did.

However, we delayed the magic until April to which success We were pregnant and we were expecting a beautiful January baby Something to lift the January blues and bring some refreshing light enjoying to a month that is pretty grim Until the scan we found out we were having twins Twins that arrive four weeks earlier to the original due date. Oh no, oh no, we now So we now have Christmas twins! Oh my God. Instead of trying to avoid one Christmas baby, we are now having two.

Oh mate, that is not ideal. Katie and Ben, who are gonna come and see us in April in Birmingham. Oh, we know what that means. Date night. Yeah, bloody thoo. . a bit of leg over action in April. Yeah, bloody out. Don't fall into the same trap. I know we're pretty sexy and unrelatable guys. I don't want you to go home and biffing each other and having another Christmas baby. Yeah, too, right? It's going to be, I reckon there's going to be a lot

of shagging after our show from our our live show because it's going to... Yeah no, but I don't think this makes people want to have kids, does it? Rob, once they see us in the flesh. You'll say that everyone's going to have the horn. Everyone's going to have the horn. Men, women, everyone's, just they see us. Once they are us two shuffling in in same the same same clothes in the style of 2009 because we haven't moved on from there sat down chatting

I got another one here from Alice in Coventry, who's 28. Hi, Rob and Josh, I'm excited to have finally, as of today, caught up with a podcast. Oh, well done.

You've previously asked for the weirdestet at a board game convention. Yes please. Yes please. And I was dressed as an alk from Lord of the Room. That's incredible. Bless her. Was it in character? I'm part of a group, well I don't know if the breakdown was, but she says, I'm part of a group called the Galactic Knights who dress up in a variety of film and TV costumes at events to raise money for charity. And often find myself having breakdown moments at the weirdest events in costume during more stressful times of life. Incredible. Oh Alice in Coventry, well done for sharing. Yeah we all have little breakdowns. albeit not always at a convention dressed as an awk. No, no. I imagine if I dress as an or an orc I would have a breakdown. That is my absolute, the idea of dressing up is something like that. It's dressing up. Well, they're your evil enemy, aren't they, as a hobbit? They are your...

Pricktonight. You see the orks coming over the hill? The old trotters start pounding on as you run back to the Shire. Is it or is it orks in Lord of the Rings? Yeah, that's like the dead army they were without Love the podcast, yad, yad, yadda. You put a call out recently for bad teachers, who reminded me of something from my school years. When I was in my last year of primary school, 1995, we were taken weekly to the local swimming baths

to learn how to swim. To ensure the appropriate level of tuition for every student, we were split into three groups, on our swimming ability. The top group are called Tadpoles, a name befitting the proficient swimmers in the year group. The bottom group were not so lucky of their group name. Oh no, the reward for being amongst the worst swimmers the school had to offer your group was called Bricks. Brick. So unfair in it. That is the horrible, horrible isn't it? That is mad. Because when they said tab poles, I thought that feels like the bottom group tab poles. Yeah. Because it's like you're small and you're learning and you're one day going to be, what does

the tab hold become? Well, tapoles are the best. Bricks to the bottom so. So there's a middle one here. So this is still going. It's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's the. It's the. It's. It's the. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's the. It's. It's the. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's he's got a lot of trauma to work through with this email. This just leaves the middle group. Probably not a strong swimmer, but if you're in this group, you can at least have some ability if you are in the bottom group. What could you aspire to become if you were a brick? Perhaps something evocative, like a minnow. you were better than an inanimate object, the brick that sinks to the bottom of the pool, you would move on to the middle group called better bricks. Better bricks? No, that is mad, isn't it?

It's awful. I'm proud to say that over the school year I made my way from being a brick to a better brick before coming a tadpole. I just hope whoever decided the naming for that group had a good long hard look at themselves. That is incredible. Bricks, better bricks, tadpoles. That is phenomenal. At my school, if you could swim you had a blue at, if you couldn't swim, you had a red hat. Really? It's degrading, isn't it? I was so bad at swim. You're allergic to chlorine. Yeah I was allergic to chlorine. I remember doing a width and they, we got a packet of skips if we completed a width. So that was, that was my grand achievement. Yeah, you can't do that with kids anymore. Can you just give them a packet of skips for doing a wi-nobb and the tape. No wonder therethis one here. Dear Robin Josh, my friend and I

work weird and wonderful shifts covering anniversaries, bank holidays, special occasions and very often birthdays. Recently my friend and I were working and he turns to me and says oh it's my daughter's third birthday today.

I personally think this is A-star parenting.

Best from me, John, and Chris, the legend of a dad. Hi, Rob and Josh, just listened to the latest episode and wanted to share what moment push me into having therapy. Okay, I don't know. I'm not really a provedue. I'm a friend from from from this. I don't know, I don't know, I'm reading this one on the flight, it's just coming. I decided I wanted cereal for dinner, probably a cry for helping itself. There is something comfort about cereal for dinner.

Oh, I like cereal for dinner. It's a comfort. Yeah, it's a classic. It's a real student classic. Here we go. So pop to Sangreys, in the cereal aisle, I realized I didn't know whether I wanted crunching out or we toes. So I started crying and sat down on the floor. Oh my God. Oh my God. I mean I'm sure I'm assuming she's okay for us to laugh about this. Anyway she has written it in. Well that's a point people do have breakdowns but they can be funny after a certain amount of time. I wouldn't have pointed out and laughed while she's sat in the floor. Time is a great healer, yeah. Okay. It occurred to me that in that in that in that in that in that in that in that in that in that in that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that in that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the the the the the th is the the is the the the is the the is the the is In that moment I realize that that reaction might not have been about the serial. Shout out to the worker in Ballam High Street Sanctuary is in 2011 who coax me off the floor. Now to stay calm it's simple. Go for a walk. Fresh air. Remove myself, breathe free from whatever is stressing me out, works a charm.

Love the podcast. I've only discovered it recently. Listen while feeding my Norbun through many long nights. Really? Well done, Zoe. Really. It's good to share. I enjoyed this sort of breakdown story. There's always a moment weae, because I used to love getting the trolls, but crunching up, I'd say for me, is the winner out of those two. There's two good options, isn't it? It's too sugary though, though have fruit and fiber. You might as well have wheat o's. The producer, Lawrence, really funny bloke on my radio two show, he was like, oh I had a really nice night, last night on the, he went, I've been out all week, so I knew

we had to show on Sunday, so had an early night on Saturday, all my flat mates were out, so I had lovely proper fish and chips, but I really went to have. What, what??. the, the, the, the, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, oh, oh, oh, oh, what, what, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I... I. Oh, I, I. Oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. Oh, I. Oh, I, I. Oh, I. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the to. Oh, the the the the the the the the the. I. I. I. Oh, the. I. I, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, the. Oh, else? And he said, mushy peas, curry sauce, and baked beans. And I went to him, you didn't need to bake beans. And he went, I didn't need the baked beans. But you get excited when you have the proper little feast up. I love it. You know, it's your little truth. The Indian take away hung over on a Sunday. If you don't overorder there, what is wrong with you? You've got to overorder in that situation. Exactly.

And then he had all that and had a nice early night. I think that's a lovely Saturday evening. No drink. It's, oh, we got another therapy one, where people are full. This is the moment I referring to the new feature if a therapist could see me now. Last Christmas, 36 weeks pregnant with my second baby, I started sobbing uncontrollably. My husband ran down the stairs, wondering when on earth happened. I was crying so much the sofa was shaking and I couldn't get my words out. Finally I managed to tell my husband Wayne that we didn't have a chimney to hang stockings on to wouldn't be able to leave a present for the unborn baby and our one-year-old son who was completely

oblivious. So, safe to say, once Wayne, my partner explained to me that Father Christmas has a magic key to any house, I calmed down and then had absolute hysterics at the ridiculousness of the situation. I would suggest that my the thionionionionionionionionionion thregedue thregedue thregedue the the to to to the to to the to to the the to to the to the to to the to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to ththae ththae their their to their to to to to to ththea thi thi. to thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the an thean thean thean to to to to thean to to to thean to to theee an to the to the to th I calm down and then had absolute hysterics at the ridiculousness of the situation. I would suggest that my raging hormones played a key part in this incident and we still laugh at chimney gate to this day. That's a good one. That's great. This is a great feature because it's always the most stupid thing that sets you off. I would suggest, I'll this from Lucy, mum to the to an Annie seven months. There we go. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well.

We knew Theodore. Yeah. I always think about one in the chipmunks. It's a good name. It's a great name. It's definitely the one I choose of the three. Alvin Simon Theodore. Alvin Simon Theodore.

Yeah. Also, he can always shorten that to Terry if he's going to be a builder or something. What, Theodore? Theo? Theo is pretty cool. I can't have Theo doing my plastering. I'd sort of think, what's happened here? Theo Walcott? Yeah, we wouldn't have him to have to do the Sistine traffick. Anyway, there we go. I've got a couple of more these therapy ones or like

breakdown ones that are pretty good. Then we'll do small business. Hi, Rob and Josh. I have a story for your new feature about reacting oddling situations. I call this one. It's not about the pork pie. Yes. My boy. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I the the thoom. I th. I the the thoom-in.

The next day when thinking about what's have for lunch I realized I do actually quite like pork pies. I went downstairs to the fridge, open the door to find the mini pork pies gone. I turned to face my boyfriend who was sitting on the sofa eating the last pork pie. I was heartbroken beyond words. I took myself up to our bedroom with my eyes filled with tears. Ten minutes later my boyfriend came upstairs to find me bawling and when I told him why he said I'm so sorry I didn't think you even liked pork pies. Is that why you opened the fridge look really sad and walked away? The next day you bought me another pack of mini pork pies and always

saves the last one for me when he buys a pack. I've never heard the word port pies said so many times in the space of 30 seconds. It's not about the pork it's not about the pork pies Josh. I know but I reckon you said port pies 15 times and every time he said it. I want to be the the times. You know when people when they used to advertise milk. You to the their their. I. I. I. I. I. I.

Yeah. You know, you send a joke on what's up and go, lull only mess. They've read it. There's two blue ticks. Here we go. Prime example. Prime. Prime. the the the it was really getting me down. The housework was building up, and my lovely husband decided to clean the bathroom to get some jobs ticked off. When he was done, I went to the bathroom and burst into tears. When he asked what I was doing, all I could say was, why did you always do things better than me? Yeah, that. He genuinely didn't know what to do or say. I'm okay, but this does seem to be the thing that pushes me over the edge when I feel vulnerable. Yeah, but you're just, it's just anything, isn't it, when you feel a bit like that? Love the podcast.
