Hello and welcome back to Should I Did Eat That? I'm in Clarkson. I'm Alex Light. Yes, you are. I sound like pure shit. No, disagree. I think I'm going to give you some... Oh, can I...

Okay, hang on. I'm going to give you... I'm going to feed you some lines, and I want you to read them back to me. Okay. Let me just Google the lines I want you to read. Are they going to be sexual? I'm literally Googling, sexiest sentences ever. Fuck off.

What's the sexiest sentence you've ever heard on Reddit? Mature content. You know, I'm not going to be allowed to view it because of my phone contract. The child lock. Oh, I'm in? No, I'm not. I've been blocked. Let me try another website.

12 sexy sentences that will drive any man wild. Are you ready? Oh, I'm ready. Let's put headphones in because. I'll be so. Okay. Oh. I don't think this would drive me wild, but I love it when you wear that shirt.

It really brings out your body part. I think you're supposed to put in the body part. I don't think you're going to say body part. I love it when you wear that shirt. It really brings out your arms. I love it when you wear that shirt. It really brings out your arms. The cough ruins it.

The cough ruined it, agree. Now you sound like some ancient sex pest who's lived in the building for like 52 years, just making mulberry reds the whole time. Be like, Barbara, stop. I'm just trying to come home from a book. Listen to that. Yeah, that's not the kind of neighbor I'd want. Good sentence, good sentence.

They really turned it up again, yes, but if you, just before you go, if you would be right. Sure. If we were alone right now, what would you do to me? I could not make eye contact with me, please. I'll try and look away. if we were alone right Stop

Stop Stop silly Okay If we were alone right now What would you do to Oh my god This is the worst episode Everett

Oh my god Producer Faye is just looking at it I was like how the fuck am I going to edit this? Just read that one. You were a stallion last night. Okay, fine, nine, sense, right. I don't want to read this. Mom, you know, oh no, no.

No, no. Not, mom. Front and slip, finish the center. Not mom. You know, just looking at you in that outfit is making me weird. Oh, you made me read that. I love that you don't read ahead. I don't read ahead.

I like that I now know that. mom oh my god I need an inhaler a really hit and miss because it's like this one's like I can't wait I want you right now it's like okay that's you know whatever and then the next one is like

even the way you action makes me horny fuck why have they put the fuck at the end and also what was the action oh what they're putting in stars in asteris yeah so I can fill that in myself even the way you

even the way you burb makes me horny fuck Even the way you'd kill off I hate the word horny It makes me want to cry I always when I hear it I'm like Oh no Isn't it a horrible word

Horny baby It's just It sounds like something Austin Powers It sounds like nobody other than Austin Powers Yeah No I know but it's like doesn't sound like It should come out of anybody's mouth Apart from his

And actually Mike Myers gives me the willies a bit To the point that even I think because of that I even struggle with Shrek Although do you guys know How many people fancy Shrek Go on I get that

No I do get out This is a stupid one of the few people's like it. What are you going to say? I am too pregnant to laugh this out. I will let me move myself. Hot news statistics out from the her. office. You can have done a pole.

I think it's a lot of people, though, you know. Like, I keep seeing, like, TikTok, like, like, Daddy, like, Daddy, like, like, like, Shrek, like Daddy thing, yeah. I get that. I don't want to kickshame you a motherfucker fuck. Why? I can't. To hold me through it.

Is it the fact that he's green? Is it the fact that he lives in a swamp? No. No, no, it's like he's, like, big and, like, gruff and, and, like, rugged and, like, he'll tell you how it is. He doesn't mince his words, and he just doesn't care about how he looks, and he's just, you know. It's just, you know what? It's just a trick, can I? I don't know, I get it, I just, I get the appeal.

This is worse than Steve Correll, by a long way. Oh, come on. Shrek, he revolves me. Do people fancy Shrek. Ask how many? Oh, AI, yes, people do enjoy the Shrek movies. Not what I'm asking, AI. Why is Shrek sexy?

Excellent. It is simply in his looks on the way he acts. Whenever he opens his ogre mouth filled with onions, everyone squeals in delight. Shrek appeals to all genders, no matter what that person's orientation may be. I can tell you this, that if you ask someone,

do you think Shrek is sexy or hot, they will answer always with a yes. There is no question asking why Shrek is sexy because everyone already knows why. I would counter that. I have some, and it's bad actually because my reasons for not liking him do feel superficial on the surface,

but it's not about that. also think his personality is very ugly. He's a profoundly unlikable man. Is he? Yes. I can't really remember. He was so selfish at the beginning of Shrek 2 when they go to meet Fiona's family. You retain so much film

info. Only the important stuff. You know so much about it. I watch a film and it is completely erased from my mind. The next day, gone. I know. I think I could probably quote most of Shrek one and two. They go off a cliff for number three. as always happens.

Stick with two. Although Toy Story 3 was the exemption to the rule. But again, I couldn't tell you the plot line. Okay, do you want me to? Not really. No, fine. I was going to say two things about movies. Number one, we've all been living a lie.

You know the cottage in the holiday? Yeah. A, not real. Made up? Wouldn't you mean made up? Built, built on a set. shift built on a field, the outside built on a field, the inside of the cottage, L.A. It was filmed in L.A.

But she looked so cold. Mm-hmm. What the fuck? I know, I know. That's interesting. Aircon. So the cottage didn't exist. That seems a bit, that seems nuts because that cottage probably was available.

Are you sure? I'm sure. Like the outside of that cottage. Went on BBC Radio 2 and said that the film designer basically went around the whole of the cot's walls and couldn't find like the chocolate box. like perfect cottage that it needed to be so she built her own in the field the outside and then they went to LA to do the interiors wow dude law was so fucking fit in that film best thing about this time of year another thing or Bill nae in love actually thank you for the perfect segue

you're welcome there's a new film called joy yes yes which still naive in it Netflix film it talks about which is like the inception of IVF I don't know if it's a bad thing to say but I'm always surprised that Bill Nye is alive because, no, no, listen, listen, listen, listen, because, you know, about time he's darking in that, isn't he? And that's what kind of sticks in my head. And every time I see him, I'm like, oh, I thought you were. You have so much to learn about cinema. No, I know, I know, I don't know.

Because they don't have to, it doesn't, it's not a pre-requisite for the part. It's not a conscious thought. It's not like, so we've got this really good film for you, going to love it. You're in every single scene. unfortunately you do have to die at the end of it and that has to transcend the movie One of the saddest movies ever I was just like... I was thinking about about time this morning

Oh, it's just so sad It's so sad. It's so sad. It made me so sad. It actually really depressed me in it because the concept of that film if you haven't seen it, you'll never watch it now because Alex has given you a huge spoiler. Sorry.

But it's like he basically he's got the opportunity to go back in time every day or to any point in his life and he can change anything about it but then after he has his children he can never go back in time before he has his children because then he would alter the course of the world and then his children would cease to exist.

So, like, you can't do it, right? That's the thing. So he makes a decision after his children are born that, like, I'll never go back again. Which, yeah, he then has a very emotive thing and he's like, this has taught me that, like, you know, you just have to live each day to the fullest. And obviously, because I'm like a bit depressed,

I'm really struggling with that. I watched it this morning and I was like, oh, I got back off. Like, no. No, I cannot give today everything. He's like, I live this day like it's my last day. But imagine doing that every day? You can't. Exhausting.

You can't. Exhausting. I would make so many loopholes for myself if I had that, if I made that rule, but had that possibility. It's like when people tell you to enjoy every moment with your kids. That's not possible because some moments are not enjoyable. No. And you can't enjoy every single day of your life. You can't enjoy every single moment with your kids.

No. And I do find that mentality. The pressure. The pressure it gives me, yeah. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a burden. Yeah, okay, so you've given me a segue there. Thank you so much.

This happened a while ago. Okay. But I screen grabbed this DM and I put it in our file of things to talk about and then I forgot. Okay. So I don't know if you remember there was a barter system that I employed with Arlo recently where she wouldn't eat her dinner unless I sung a song for every piece of pasta that she ate. So I had to sing, twinkle, twinkle, little star, prom the top. to the bottom for every single piece of pasta that we are. And I mean, I've probably got about 30 pieces of pasta in the end.

So it was a lot of singing on my part. Anyway, I don't really talk about the parenting online, one, because, well, no, I just, I just don't. You know what? That's fine. I do not have been around the line, full stop. I did then, and I thought, I'm never going to do this again, because I told that little story, fun little anecdote. Oh, stop it.

Stop, full stop. No. She will get used to demanding your time and a little bit of it. energy to get her own way. And I thought, babe, I really want my child to get used to demanding my time and my energy. Like how sad is it that the goal, that this lady's goal is like, careful, your child should want you. Yeah, your child might get used to you. Your child might see you as a consistent person in her life. And wouldn't that be bad? I was very shocked. Yeah, I mean, I guess what she's trying to say is...

Don't indulge you. Well, you might end up having to sing Twinkletook a little star for every mouthful for the rest of her life. Of her child life. No, the thing is, like, it would have been for the rest of the week. Do you know what I mean? We'd have got over it. Yeah. It's very interesting, this like parenting stuff, doing it differently.

God. It's mad, isn't it? Anything you say, anything you put out. Yeah. Any picture. Yeah. Never show the car seat. That's the golden rule of parents.

Oh, I don't know that. I know I watch you share it all the time. I think you're a full. Why not share it? Don't know. They just, people just have opinions about car seats. Oh, God. I don't know, but I've not done up right or.

I do remember when we first got him registered. He said we first got him. He got him. He was delivered. Well, he was in a way. Yeah. Just not my DPD. When we first got him registered and he, we took him inside to the library in his, in his car seat.

car seat. You can pick it up and take it out. But he was wearing a prom suit. I had to put a picture of it up and like so many people were like... Yeah. Which I now know is bad. But like there's so much to learn. There's so much to learn.

It's a very... It's fascinating. It's super duper fascinating. Never put sling up either. Anything of them in a sling. What, in case you're carrying them wrong? You're always carrying them wrong. Yeah, no, that's true.

Always. That's true. Oh God, I've got to do this all again. yeah there's perks I mean there's so many perks we've never really talked about not sharing kids I really want to do an episode like it's just an episode on this because the mum fluencing stuff I'm so fascinated yeah someone actually sent me a message last night

that was going to send to you and they said I'm just dying to know what Arla and Tommy looked like yeah people say that all the time about one day which I do understand there's an element but then sometimes it's funny because it's like people that are my friends because I don't put her on any social media ever so why don't you share it on there online for like loads of reasons consent being like front well consent is a huge factor she can't consent

she's not an adult i obviously have a very unique experience in that i grew up with family in the public eye so i have like a few extra layers to it to consider but the main thing for me is that she's her life is not my story to tell and and that's like that's kind of feels like where it's that but the other really big consideration for me is that the law in the UK and probably in America but the law as it stands at the moment is if you publish a photo of your child on social media the press have access to to that child's image for the rest of their life and there have been a couple of like really high profile cases like where you can kind of argue from like newborn stage like if you share a newborn and then stop sharing you are within your rights like

david furnish and elton john had this where they shared a newborn image and then never shared again and then they've had fights with the press which they've won but as it basically stands if you share your child their fair game which means they can be packed it means stories can be run about them it means their faces can be put in newspaper articles and in newspapers and online and whatever so for me it was like you know we have the added layer of like public interest in our lives to an extent and I just don't want that to be I don't want Allah Googling herself

and have photos of herself that she doesn't, that she didn't consent to that she didn't ask to be taken that she maybe doesn't like because there were of me like. Well exactly you had a very unique experience with this. Yeah I did my parents because they didn't know because social media wasn't around

when I was born so they never could have anticipated what would come next But, yeah, I perhaps had access to me as a teenager because of, because of, we'd done an okay magazine shoot or hello or something when I was born. Anyway, and that fucking photo of me when I was like 17, which has haunted me for like literally during 15 years. And I just, I just don't want, she has a right to privacy.

And so there's just, and there's, and yeah, and it's just no one's business. Like she's just no one's, she's just, and she just feels too precious as well. Yeah. Do you not mean to share? It's just like, so there's a three pronger. Yeah.

For me. What about you? It's same, apart from the getting papped thing. I don't think. But you can't rule that out. I don't think anyone's interested in photos of me or Tommy. But you can't rule out. You don't know, you know, you could get a gig tomorrow on like this morning or whatever.

Or you could get a very high profile tomorrow. Yeah. You know, you don't know, or in five years or in 10 years. Yeah, no. But first of all, most consent, I don't want to, I don't want him to have an online for print that he never made made or agreed to yeah um i don't want him to be right for safety reasons i don't want him to be recognizable to people that's yeah so i didn't even say that um i don't want people to be able to like you know if they see him on the street and be like oh that's yeah i'm not saying

i'm you know like famous enough for that to happen but you just never know you just never know um the third thing is the third thing is just like pure instinct and when i had him i just knew there was just no way. I could. Yeah. Just no way. It's fascinating. I hadn't felt that strongly about it beforehand.

We both talked about it when we were pregnant and both like, oh, we'll decide when they get here. Yeah. And then a second they got here. It just felt very, there's just no way. No. No. It's really interesting.

Sometimes I put pictures that where you can see like his lip or his cheek or something. Even then I'm like, I don't know. I feel funny about it. But then, but I'm like, no one can see what he looks. I know what he looks like from this because I know what the rest of him looks like. I agree, yeah. But no one else does. So they can't put the, they can't put the,

It's not a jigsaw. Yeah. And they can't make that image. But Dave's even more like fiercely protective than me. He doesn't want any pictures of him. No. Like at all like not, not, not think. Seeing the deep fakes, like seeing what people can do is absolutely crazy.

And, you know, I know a lot of people. And I don't know, it's, we are in a unique situation because we have public profiles. So, you know, you just, you are just advertising. It's just a, it's just a, you know, it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad will happen. No, no, no. But it's just a risk. It does make it hard, though, you know. Like, my best friend got married earlier this year

and I was a bridesmaid at her wedding. And I just didn't think about it, but I was late, obviously as holding Arlo, and they were doing big group photos. And I ran in to take the group photo with her. And obviously everyone was taking it and she's in it. And then people are putting it on social media and it's like, I can't, I need to offer them to take it down.

Yeah. Which is such an uncomfortable thing to do. And it's such like a heightened way of living that I just hate. And then people are like, how do you think you are? I'm like, I get it. I sound like a real weirdo, but like, my mum's never put her on, like, on her private. None of my friends, even with private accounts have ever.

There is literally no one's ever done it. And I had to ask after the wedding. I was like texting like the groomed sister. I'm really sorry. Did you mind just to take it? And it's like, oh, I hate this. I hate this. Although luckily Elle married a photographer and she, he was able to Photoshop when she walked.

Because I was like, I've literally ruined the group photo like by bringing Arlo in. That's so annoying. Anyway, in one of them, she's got her head turned. Okay. And he's photoshopped the one with her head turned. That's good. On to all of them. Yeah, you're basically on all of them, yeah.

Okay, that's good. But it's just like stuff like that. I'm such a diva. But it's like, you just can't undo it, can you? Yeah, no. I mean, I don't think like it's not, I don't enforce it as much as that, but I don't have the, I don't have the, like, public element to my situation. Yeah.

Like, if a photo got out of Tommy, I wouldn't be like, I wouldn't be like, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just don't want repeated you. of his image. Yeah, because it's what one signifies for me, I guess. It's like one photo might signify my consent to the press, basically. Mind you, there's proof that like the press don't give a fuck, like they're putting photos of Liam Payne's dead body up. You know what I mean? Like, but that was interesting as well. With his funeral, people were saying, um, I don't know

if it was true, but I suspect it probably was that there was an agreement made with the press that he wouldn't, the bear wouldn't be photographed at the funeral. Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank God. Which I think But, like, of course he wouldn't. But he would. I know, but, like, I can't believe we even, like, like, he's not even. I got past my way to my, I'm so a small, but on the way to my granny's funeral. And I just remember just being like, this is horrible. Yeah, that's horrible.

Like, it's a, it's, like, my, like, my granny's dead. Do you know what I mean? And it's just like, you don't really think about it in time because you don't really feel that you've got any, like, autonomy to be like, please don't do this because you feel like, you just have to accept it. But then also, I was just like, oh, oh, no. Yeah. Also, I realized I was wearing the wrong shoes. and I didn't realize because they'll take photos at a funeral

and I didn't really think it mattered and then there was like that was brilliant now my bad shoe choice is clear for everyone to see I was I did think that it was handled way more respectfully

Liam's funeral than I thought it was gonna be yeah I was still a lot though it was a lot we are vultures and also how quickly that was the worst week of news

most chaotic week of news and then just on again I know I know it's extraordinary I've avoided all like content about it

because it just makes me too sad I can't bear it but then one TikTok popped up last night of his like mum and dad and oh God it's just haunting me the way his mom like just turned away and it was just like grief-stricken it was horrendous

It is extraordinary I feel so bad for that family I can't believe press go to funerals They did it with Deb James is Did they? Yeah we were all filmed going into and photograph going into the church And it's like you've got to have a look at yourself

I think If your job takes you to a funeral like if this if it's like what's on like what's in the calendar today if you're not a funeral director or a pool bearer or a reverend or a grave director okay find there are a few jobs yeah i was going to say that you go but like yeah people do makeup on dead people as well like it's a lot embalming yeah there's no reason for press to be at funerals no i mean unless it's like the queen or the king or a princess or like if you are public if you are a public figure to the point of like your life is like dedicated to the public and I would not include like a philanthropist

in that and I would not include a celebrity in that it would start and finish with like royals I can't think of any other person who would I could I could justify press being a funeral love do you know what I mean it would be awful to be a royal wouldn't it to be a royal horrendous horrendous they are like owned by the public they are owned by the public And look what happens when they disown themselves. Yeah. Famously. We hate you and we hate your wife.

And we're not going to stop hating you even when you fuck off. And we're not going to, and it doesn't matter how far away you go, how quiet you get. We're just going to keep doing it. And we're going to write about you every day. How miserable. It's coconuts. Miserable existence. Yeah, I know.

And it's weird because like, that makes a sound all royalistic, which when obviously, like, there's so much bad stuff about the royals in the press at the moment. And there's so much, like, misuse of public money. And there's so much, you know, it's also fucking dodgy. It's always like backhand of stuff and it's like blah-la-la-la. But at the end of the day, if you asked me for all the money in the world, absolutely not. Not for all the money in the world.

No. Not for all of it. No, no, no. No. You'd be so annoyed. Imagine like, you'd have, although, well, yeah, I keep thinking I'm like, Princess of Genovia. I'm like, that looks all right. The Genovian public seemed very receptive to her, very forgiving and very nice.

Princess Diana is. Absolutely it is. I feel it's about fame. I wouldn't want to be famous for all the money in the world. No. No. No. I just, I think it sounds awful. Yeah.

Really horrible. Yeah, because no one's ever going to feel, like, not that you need people to feel sorry for you in your life. But like, no one, you stop being human when you're public. People aren't empathetic to you. Yeah. Just I don't think we're built to be famous either. No. No.

No. I don't think humans are built for like, being. perceived by that many people yeah we need to be admired and and no like removed but also not I don't know it's very strange I guess like the power of social relationship is weird

well but then we're all curating that just by accident on social media like that's what we're doing we're all just seeking validation it's super interesting it's like because we are becoming like sort of like demi famous within our schools within our communities within like our circles everyone has their little moment you know one TikTok video can go viral

and it's not wired for for it. It's super interesting. It is, isn't it? I was watching a clip of a psychiatrist on TikTok and he was saying that like basically parents have failed if their children want to be famous because it's like they didn't validate them enough. Oh, really?

Yeah. I paraphrased. That's really interesting. Because it's like the child. We should do an episode about fame. Well, yeah, about child fame. With a psychologist. But I don't know.

I feel like we need to be careful that we're not being like judgmental of people who do share their children online as well as part of this. you're right and that's actually something that I was going to say before or is like it isn't any judgment to people that was like sharing our reasons isn't any judgment to people who share their children online no everyone does what's right for their family yeah they deem to be right yeah everyone's the best parent to their children and I couldn't be a parent to Tommy and you couldn't be a parent to Arlo so we yeah and same to that woman about the thing with all parenting stuff it's just like you're the best mother to your own child yeah

like yeah oh my god imagine having to parent someone else's child nothing is more annoying to me than other people's children people talk about children

being annoying I'm like oh my god yeah yeah fine because you don't know they're not your they're not your mess do you know what I mean

it's like it's like it's fine but it's like it's you know like other people's is always going to be worse right I'm not wrong I'm loving allergy but it's it's not wrong

you took it to a place it wasn't expecting, but I fully appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. I think it's time to wrap up. Mostly because my voice isn't going to carry me any longer. Yeah, no, your voice, you go. Go to OnlyFans. Take it somewhere, make you all my. Oh my God, I've probably only got phone lines. I already got like a day, probably. Yeah, 24 hours in a day, baby. Famously. It feels like nobody wants to work these days. You just got to get up and work, you know? Oh my God, I could pull an all lighter and see how much I could rake in 24 hours. hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If I start screaming, I might make it last for like 48 hours, maybe.

Well, if you're on the phone or might, I'd say it's not going to get better. No chance to recover. I'll do lots of coughing as well. Yeah, no, good. Good. I'm so sorry if this has been painful to listen to, but also it's probably going to be next week as well. Can I just give you something to, to see them out? I was going to give you a couple of sentences just to, if you don't mind, just to send the people on their way. Please. Okay. Yeah, that'll do. Don't read a head, Al. He's ruined it for yourself.

Very uncomfortable. Jesus. Oh, no, no, I didn't get the right tone. Jesus. No, no, no. Jesus, you know what to do to me. I lost count of how many times you finished me last night. Lord, the cop really, really fucks it, doesn't it?

Yeah. No repeat customers here. Thank you so much for listening, guys. We will see you on Monday. I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for listening. Should I delete that is part of the ACAST creator network.
