Since day one, we have proudly partnered with Colonna-based mattress company Haven, ensuring you have the best sleep possible. So it's just one more reason to visit us in the Boreal Forest. You can also try out a Haven Mattress, risk-free, for 100 nights, at Havenmatress.ca. Hello and welcome back to Should I Delete that? We're wearing headphones and it sounds so good in the headphones. I feel so professional right now.

I feel like a radio DJ. You, yeah, yeah. It's a really disconcerted. We were saying this before you started because you can hear your own voice in real time coming back to you. Yeah. Like we hear it back on the podcast

but when you're actually speaking and you hear what you actually sound like. Oh my God, do you want to know something really, really sad? that my mom said to me once when I was little. I was singing in the back of the car. I had my headphones on. I was singing in the bag of the car along to Britney Spears because I was living my best life.

The year was 2000, you know, whatever. And I think it was my Walkman. Anyway, and I was singing. And my mom went, darling, darling, darling, I just need to tell you something. And I think she basically said, you can't sing, which obviously was like crushing. That is crushing. I was like, oh my God, what?

And she was like, no, no, no, no. nobody can sing when they've got headphones on. Like, it's important, even, and she, I remember her saying, even Britney Spears can't sing when she's got headphones. And I was like, oh, my God, it's just me and bro. So I was always really careful never to sing with headphones on after that. Didn't stop me singing. It's true, though, isn't it?

Because you can't, you can't, like, regulate your tone. You can't catch your tone. That's the excuse that I've used. It's not the right terminology, but, yeah. Is that your excuse now? Yeah. I just can't regulate my tone due to the headphones. Otherwise, Adele would just be fucking quix.

Waking in a baby. Do I have a deep voice? No. Because hearing it now, it sounds really deep compared to yours. Anyway, people don't need to hear it. I don't think so. I think in my voice, in my head, my voice is lower than what it is outside, out loud. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. But I've got a very, like, I'm in a unique position in that I have exactly the same voice as my sister. Yeah. So I know exactly what I sound like at all times because she sounds just like me. Yeah, you do actually. It's so weird. Like, I'll hear video clips of her, and I'm like, I don't remember saying that. It's like, we're deep faking ourselves.

It's so weird. The capture. Oh, my God. Told you. What did you tell me? Line of duty. It's incredible. It's so good.

So, so, so good. Sorry, the Gab has gone. Hasn't kicked in yet. Okay, that's all right. We're doing a little gag. Wasn't, have you watched both seasons? I think season two was better than season one. It was.

Because I never, I love the first series of something. And then for some reason, I can, I never want to watch the second series, even though I loved it. I think it's because it always lets me down. But that was, so I was a bit like, oh, I don't really want, and I'm not getting into it. At first, the episode, I was like, oh, I'm not going into this. And Dave was like, just give it a go.

And oh, my God, it blew my mind. It was so good. Helps in the first season, how fit the main guy was as well. He was fit. He was fit. Yeah. Yeah, it was so good. So good.

I love how, I don't know what's the word for her, Holiday Granger. I love how, like, Sheik isn't the right word, but she's just like, she never misses a beat. No, that's the difference between me and you. I can't stand the way that women are written by the BBC writers in every single drama. It's just like, flawless. Yeah, and it's like, why do you always have to take this dramatic pause? And when was the last time you peed?

I remember there was this series. BBC, and it was about the, we haven't done a single, this would just meet about anyway. There was a series and it was like a woman in a song, submarine. I don't know if you saw it. And it was like, she was like a police officer and she had to go and investigate a crime on a submarine. Pretty neat, right? Yeah, really good. But then, like, she had a panic attack because she was on a submarine. I was like, they just wouldn't have given a man a panic attack. They just wouldn't have done. They wouldn't have given a male police officer

a panic attack on a submarine. He'd have just gone on the submarine. Like, whatever. And then it's like kept doing flashbacks to like scenes with her, um, her partner. And again, I was like, they just wouldn't be doing this. It was like, it was like, it. It was trying to make the point that she, I think that she wasn't interested romantically in the male lead because she was gay because we were getting, that was like the back to her life. But it was just like, again,

if it was a male police officer, they wouldn't show like scenes of him at home with his boyfriend to prove that he wasn't into the female lead. They just wouldn't. It was so annoying. So now every time I watch a BBC drama, I'm just like, ugh. I know.

I just talk to a real woman. I love the way everyone on TV in TV, like dramas and stuff. Like they never sneeze. have a cough. No. You know? You've never clear their throat. You've never seen James Bond going, sorry, where's the bathroom?

Yeah. Like he sits at that casino for fucking hours in Casino Royale. I'm about to go shoot this place up, but just a second need a piss. Yeah. Annoying. I have it, is it just me off the back of this? Is it just me that wakes up looking like dog shit? Sorry, what?

Like they don't in the films. They always wake up looking so good. How? Where did that come from? Talking about Submarine, that song is in my head. now. We'll live on the yellow submarine. Also in my head is the corn song. Tate-Tock. What corn song? Corn. A big lump of knobs. It has the juice. It has the juice. Can imagine a more beautiful thing.

Corn. No. I don't like corn that much. You're not know the song? No. Oh my god. I like baby corn. I don't like corn on the club. It gets stuck in my teeth. I love corn so much, but I'm going to send you this song. It'll never leave your head ever, ever, ever, Again, it spins in my head. But is it just me that has two songs in their head at all times? Yeah.

Well, probably not just you, but it's definitely not me. You don't have two? I hardly even have one. I don't right now have a song in my head. No. Not one song. If I had to pluck one, I think it would probably be the submarine one because of where we've just been. Okay.

So... And now I've got another one. Now I've got Teyamo by Rihanna, which was a fucking bot. Is I knew? No. God, it's like 2009, 2010. really good. I've gone back to my old iTunes which I haven't updated since

Apple Music went rogue. So I've just got loads of really old music. Most it's terrible, but some of it is so good. Yeah. So I've been listening to that. Yeah. Do you remember when iTunes updated and just gave everyone the YouTube album? Yeah, but I feel like that's what Liz Tross is now. She's just like

the U2 album to this government. We didn't know else for this. Daisy just texted me said that she had the hokey-coki-coki song in her head this morning. How does that one go? The hokey gokey. Yeah. Put your left leg in, your left leg out,

in, out, shaking all about. What a banger. Okay, no, I have three songs in my head, so that's fun. Okay, is it just me? Is it just me that doesn't know what to say to cat calling but thinks of 50 things after the fact? Oh my God, yes. But this applies to every situation in my life.

I'm not good on the spot under pressure, but afterwards I feel like, if you just give me like five minutes. Just to jot some stuff down To really like hash things out in my head I'd be wonderful at all kind of comebacks But yeah I don't I just get like anger

And I fuck off And you're like oh god that was horrifying Yeah I just have like a little angry outburst But I don't know Like there must be something Amazing to clap back with To cack calls

Yeah my mum's always really really good For like very specific Pumchy little replies oh god speaking off my mum was awful the other day I don't even know if I could say this because I probably get her in trouble but so my mum was talking about catcalling and how everybody, how we were all catcalling all the time

and she said her brother was once doing loads of building work outside her, not loads, but he was doing something to her flat he was years ago and every time she'd come home from work he would start yelling and catcalling her like joking obviously because it's like her brother but really horrible stuff like and I was like

who the fuck? good as that. Anyway, so she was telling us about this in the car and then as we were driving by, this was in the Isle of Man, there were these builders all sitting on the wall outside a house and my mum was going, come on girls, because she was in the back, because she was like, go on girls to me and my sister and we were like, no, and she's like,

go on, say something. They'd do it to you and it was like, no, no, no, no, no. So we went to town, whatever, completely forgot about the conversation, did the shop, got back in the car, as we were driving home, the builders were still sitting on the wall. We had our two front windows down, mum was in the back, blacked out windows up, And as we went by, as we went by the builders, my mom, just so loud.

He was like, oh, you could have it. And obviously, they couldn't see her. So it's just me and my sister driving by like 20 miles an hour. Like, no, she's just my mom. I'm really sorry, I can't. So bad. The mom's hilarious. You could have it.

She's a legend. I know. But then it's like, yeah, it's so bad. I mean, I think the Alamans like a different calibre. I don't know. Maybe we're just as bad. But anyway, that's, I feel good. But it's like, oh, just I hate getting cackawls so much.

I know. And you're on your own. Yeah. Like, I'd say it's different, probably like a 60-year-old woman yelling from the back of her Volvo. Definitely different. Like six men on a wall when it's like three guys in a transit and it's dark and they're yelling at you when you're by yourself on a London street. It gives me so much anger, doesn't it? Doesn't it? It just gives me like this irrational.

No, it's not irrational. It gives me rational rage. where I'm like, and I, again, I blank because I'm like, I don't know what to say, but I really, like, and fuck off doesn't seem to survive. No, and La La, La, let me explain, put a thing on her stories about this. She's like, I just don't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing that I've heard it. Yeah.

Which I get, because you do want to be the bigger person, so you're just like, you know what, if I don't react, then maybe they'll feel like idiots, but they just won't. They'll just keep doing it. So then you think, okay, I'm going to say something punchy. Then what are you going to say? fuck you're going to say. Honestly, I wish my mum was here because she's got so many like, like, bam, bam, bam, like they say something and she's like, me, like, me as hell.

So cutting, you'd be like, oh, you'd be crushed if you'd cackled someone and then she, all five foot one of her turns around and it's like, is that it? People need to like write in, email in with their best clapbacks and we'll read them all out. Please. Yeah. Yeah. Send in your catcalling clapbacks. Oh, we've had an email, Al. Oh, okay. Good day, my dear. Okay. How are you doing? No.

And your family. I am Mrs. Elvin Nathan, a sick widow, writing from one of the American hospitals. I am suffering from a long time cancer of breast. My health situation is becoming worse. My life is no longer guaranteed, hence I want to make this solemn donation. I want to donate my money to help orphans. Okay. Widows and handicapped people through you because there is no more time.

left for me on this earth. I will take this decision because I have no child who will inherit my wealth after my death. Please, I need your urgent reply, so that I can tell you more on how you will handle my wish before I die. I will be waiting to hear from you immediately by God grace, amen. Yours and sincerely, woman of God by grace. Well, quickly, reply. Get back to her. We need the money. The orphans need the money. We need to give the rich, the, no, the, the, the poor. Yeah. Well, something to consider. So carrying on from catcalling, actually, I've just found another email saying, hi girls. Of course I love the podcast. I love the range of guests you have and so many genuinely

challenged my thinking. Hello, learning how to breathe after 27 years of life. I love hearing your takes on all things and it brightens my commutes. That's so nice. Speaking of commutes, I have a bit of a serious, is it just me if that's okay? To explain, I have a relatively long commute one and a half hours from home to central London. Commuting is of course annoying, but what I hadn't bargained for is that recently it's been contributing significantly to a rise in anxiety that I just can't see a way out of. For the last two winters, many of us did very little commuting. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I had to go into the office over the 2020 and 21 winters. My employer was always very flexible and essentially closed offices

during the pandemic. This winter, with things being back to normal, I'm travelling into the office two or three times a week. I'm unfortunately now pretty petrified of doing my commute in the dark. I have a 25-minute walk from the station to my house, and despite it being a relatively safe area, I get so anxious doing the walk at night. At the moment, I'm leaving the office earlier than I want to to try and be back by sunset, like some sort of strange, panic, Disney princess, but soon there'll be so little daylight that this won't be feasible. In a world post Sarah Everard and other awful, awful crimes against women, I have no idea how to get on top of this feeling. Is it just me who is finding that hurtling towards winter is highlighting unavoidably how scary a place this world is for women, and for women? feels a little bit helpless about it all. I am lucky that I have a car and a means to pay for train station parking at the moment, which many women don't have access to, but in doing

so, I am crossed that the scariness is winning. Do I find a way to avoid the dark, or do I find a way to face my fears, even though they are relatively rational? Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this. I know you'll be understanding with love from a summer sun worshipper. It's so true. It's sad. I was literally having this conversation with my dad this weekend, because where I live now. This is my first commuting winter like this person. We didn't really

go anywhere last winter. And I just live like a 10, 15 minute walk away from the station. And there's no way that I feel safe doing it after dark. And Alex said me that I'll text this morning when I left saying if you get to the station after six, call me and I'll pick you up.

It's just like, fuck's sake. It's really sad. And the sad thing, like she said, is her fears are not irrational. No. I don't even, you know what, like, I hate the advice so much because it's like, what do we tell you stuff that you already know? Yeah, I get a rape alarm, like, I know. I'm actually going to get a rape alarm.

I don't have one. Yeah, I've got one. You've got one, don't you? And you've got pepper spray, which you're not technically allowed, but I give a shit. No, I've got criminal identifier spray. Okay. Which is actually illegal, which is actually legal, because pepper spray isn't. Remember, I got detained at the airport for this.

Yeah. But it's actually legal, the one I've got, and you can just get it off Amazon. And it, like, sprays the, which. perpetrator read which is good obviously because then they're recognisable and it's legal so you know I actually think it's bullshit the pepper spray isn't legal I know it's absolute bullshit

but I genuinely I'm like challenge take challenge me on this like come on like I can't imagine a situation where I'd end up in court and they oh actually I probably can like the 5th system here's so bad but I'm saying this to my dad in general just at the weekend it's like London just feels like

so so I don't know like unsafe I saw as well on Sophie Milner was talking about it that she I think it was like a 10 minute walk away where she was going but it was across the park and it was dark and it's like for some reason it's incredibly hard to get taxis at the moment

that's 6,000 black cabs retired during COVID that's the thing right and I think a lot of people possibly found other like professions during COVID so you can't get a cab like it's so difficult like bolt an Uber like you're so you're so lucky to be able to get one now yeah so it's like so what's our option then i know i walked home i walked the other day from at like 9 30

from soho down to like trafalgar square just because i just couldn't like just looking for a cab and it's just like this is nuts it's nuts but then it's like what are my genuine options here because i can get on the tube if i get on the tube to home then i've got that 10 minute walk home by myself in the dark or I walk around this bit in where it's more well lit but by no means safe yeah like that recently in Piccadilly I was grabbed literally grabbed in front of two police officers by this man I didn't know yeah and they didn't do anything and it's just like what the fuck like uh where you were grabbed yeah by this guy like I was crossing I think I'd been with you maybe I'd been with that I kind of where I'd been somewhere I'd been an event yeah I had

been with you. Where had I been? Anyway, I was walking home. It was before I was pregnant because I'd had a couple of drinks. I tried to cross the road in Piccadilly and this guy grabbed, I don't remember what kind of coat I was wearing, but like grabbed me by the side of the coat and he's drunk and he was like, hey, and like, held on to like, like, gave me a hug and I was literally like, get the fuck off me. And then just like push him and walked off. But it's like, there's two police people there. And it's like, okay, maybe he's not, like, hugging isn't technically against the law, but like, I wouldn't call that a hug. A hug is like what we had when I support you, that was a grab.

But yeah, but then I was just so depressed. Now we've just made it worse. Now we've just, now we've just made her fear like, sorry. Sorry. And I feel like I don't, I'm kind of hesitant to like retell this story because it is depressing. But the same time, I think it's actually really important. I saw Zara McDermott.

Yeah. Her TikTok came up on my 4U page. And basically it was her, she'd been shopping in Westfield. So basically she parked 10 minutes away She walked back to her car with her bags And she got in the car and luckily She always locks the car when she gets in And as someone who has recently started driving

I actually don't do that That doesn't mean to cross my mind So now seven step Seven step before I can drive She locked the car Thank God straight away Because suddenly she was surrounded by four men One like tapping on her window

Like one in the rear The rear of the car I'm guessing wanted to steal her shopping but she doesn't really know but terrifying so the moral of this is like lock your car as soon as you get into it my car does that automatically it doesn't have door handles

you have to press the button to get the door handles to open it annoys the hell out of Alex every time he goes to get in the car and I'm like don't care no you stay out there I'm safer really good yeah but then I saw another thing I got a police warning I'm not even going to read these out because it's just going to be just terrifying more people I think I actually think on a personal level you have every right to feel as you do

and you just have to keep taking steps to protect yourself and you know what they are and I also think maybe to talk to your employee and you know if you if the Disney princess is what you've got to be then then that's that um like you say parking at the petrol stair at the train station is super useful I think like long term I don't think we can let the noise go down. We can't pretend that this is resolved because for like, particularly for March 2021 we were so loud about this and we can't now not be. So we have to like maintain the same

volume when we talk about this stuff because it's just like the problems like and there is a lot that can be done. I think the police are massively underfunded and underresourced in London particularly like and I feel that at the moment and

like street lighting needs to to be better for a start some really cool technology around you know i think ford have this thing that they have it with their cars where the um headlights can go around corners and i think they want to try and bring it into pathways like in parks and stuff that's great really good that's really good yeah don't how it'll work but like there are still companies working on stuff like this but in the meantime to this girl i'm sorry and then anything you can do like put in place just to make your life a little bit less anxious and like your commute a little bit yeah less anxiety inducing is like buy the criminal identifier spray off amazon and have your rape alarm and have them in your hand

like when i was walking i used to when i was walking betty and it was dark i would used to like i would keep the criminal identifier spray literally in my hand and have my my finger on the thing and that step just helped me feel a little bit more safe Have you ever accidentally pressed the rape alarm? Yes, many a time. Because I feel like that's about as embarrassing as it gets. Yes, it's alarming everyone. When I met Dave's mum for the first time, and we went for dinner,

and we were like, it was a very small place. And the rape alarm went off in my bag. It was like the pin wasn't that locked into place. So it happened a couple times on the tube, which is embarrassing. On the tube? Yeah, very embarrassing. That's really embarrassing. That's really embarrassing.

It's embarrassing. And then it happened in the restaurant and I was like, fuck, I don't know what to do. So I ran to the toilet with my bag bundled up because I was like, obviously the more you try and look for it, the louder it gets. That's hilarious. So yeah.

Did you know all our glamping units have a resort, quality Canadian made and eco-friendly bed? Since day one, we have proudly partnered with Colonna Base Mattress Company Haven, ensuring you have the best sleep possible. possible. So it's just one more reason to visit us in the boreal forest. You can also try out a Haven Mattress, risk-free, for 100 nights at Haven Mattress.ca. The baby is peaking. Oh, hi baby. Yeah. I've got an embarrassing story. I haven't read it yet. But if you want to go with it, shall we go with it? Yeah, let's go for it. Let's have an embarrassing story.

Okay. We need to lighten ourselves up. Turn this around. Yeah. I haven't read this yet. I haven't read this Yeah, but the subject line is horrifically embarrassing story, so I'm in. Okay. I yeah. Hi, I love to start. I hear. I love the pod and everything you guys do. Listen to the episode where Alex is talking about not being able to go into somewhere to wee without buying anything and it unlocked a horrific memory from a few years back that I thought you'd enjoy.

Picture the scene with my boyfriend in Lisbon. It's nighttime we've been drinking and wandering around all day and I'm somehow lost in the midst of a very residential area. I, owner of World's Tidliness Blatter, I'm desperate for. a wee to the point where I'm practically running, dragging my boyfriend through the streets, trying to find a cafe or bar or anything. We round a corner and there it is, a lone cafe with the lights still on. The relief of potentially weeing was almost too much and so I shouted at my boyfriend to buy a couple of beers whilst I dashed into the loo. There were tables outside of this cafe and no one really inside and I assumed he would buy the beers and wait

outside so we could continue our jaunt with a road beer. So imagine my surprise when I emerged from the toilet to find him sat in the corner with the beers. The only other people in the cafe were the owners and family who were obviously having some kind of family meals. So I slinked over and sat down, hissing at him about why he was inside and what he was doing. At this point, the family started singing happy birthday to one of the children, bringing out a massive cake. At this point, I'm dying at so obviously intruding this poor family, so I could just wee. And then it was made even worse by then bringing us a piece of cake each two.

Needless to say, we tipped very largely and left as soon as was physically possible. The cake was delicious. So it was like a family lock-in? It was a family lock-in. They just sort of sat down. I just imagine, like, in my imagination, her boyfriend is Dave. And he just hates her. Yeah, he just like, fuck my life.

I'm dragging him into that situation. I have, is it just me that I don't quite understand? Is it just me that finds the hair around my bum hole, easy and pain-free to pull out? What? Has anyone said otherwise? I mean... Is it normally painful?

Probably. That's probably like your piabs. They are just piabs, aren't they? Oh. I thought she meant like your hair on your head that when you're like shampooing it. Yeah. No, that's stuck in the butt crack. Oh, she means her actual butt hair.

Fats it easy. Do you want to know something fun about me? Since being pregnant, I seem to just be so hairy. Oh, God. I have like, but I'm like, oh, like I looked, well, I didn't, I was, yeah, I'm not, I need to go and have a wax, basically. I was like, oh my God, am I okay? It's not good. It's really not good. Like more hair than not, but like, but like more hair or hair in more places than you did before. I think more, but I don't think I had a hairy bum hole before is what I'm getting at. Oh my God. And I think now I do. Em's got a hairy bum hole. Pass it on. It's not great. It's not great.

That's a thing. Well, it is a thing, because when you go to have wax, they're like, do you want to do the butthole too? And you're like, well, yeah. And then it's embarrassing because sometimes they make you roll over. Sometimes you can just spread your cheeks, you know? Okay. It is a thing. Of course it's a thing.

I think this is, I don't know what I'm on. Men have, like, hairy, hairy bummer. That's why people get their assholes bleached. Like, mum's in that maybe? Oh, baby centre. Hair growth around anus. Recently, hair growing around my anus causing irritation. Oh, no, mine's not overshed.

Especially during night. In pregnancy, itching becomes severe at night around anus. Please help. How can I remove these hairs from this area in a very safe way? Oh, bless it. No, mine's not itchyy. I need to set the record's trick. My bum hole is not itchy. I've got an itchy bum hole. Michael, that was my brother. Did I do it to him or did he do it to me? I remember you remember when you used to write each other's Facebook statuses all the time?

Oh, my God. I think maybe my sister, one of us did it to my brother and said it was just like, does anybody know, oh, help, I've got worms. Hum hole feels all wiggly. Wiggly. The amount of time we spent doing that. I know. That's... Other people's Facebook.

That's how I ended up with my ex-boyfriend. Was it? Yeah, my housemates got into my Facebook account. They knew I really fancied him. He was in my class, my French class. And I really, really fancied him. But I was too scared to say anything to him. So they found him on Facebook and messaging from my account saying,

I really love you. And sending him a friend. frame request and he declined the friend request and ignored my DM. That's not how you ended up with him. But then, yeah, it was a long story. It broke the ice, basically, when I did actually meet him. And fall in love with him. Yeah, yeah.

Nice, nice, nice. Yeah, I just want to set the record straight on my bum hole. It's not that bad. It's different, but what I mean is it's a different hair. I'm going to go for a works, basically. it's the long and short of it but what was the original question oh I don't yeah

she finds it easy and pain free to pull it out I don't find that pain because normally it's the last bit at the end of the wax you know they do like front front yeah yeah yeah and then they're like the awkward question I do you want to study your asshole and you're like please obviously and then um don't just leave that yeah everything else gone

but bam like a caffred wheel Ew. Like a little hair chug at the back. Anyway, yeah, they do that. That tends to hurt less. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the most painful part for you?

I've worked. Yeah. I don't mean to show off, but I'm quite brave. Oh my God. I am not. I mean, it's the lips are the terrifying bit. Because you think they're going to come off. It's just like, see you.

Because like at the top and on the, on the, on the, I'm just like, you can hear me patting. That's horrible. What do you call it? Your pubic bit, you're bone. Yeah, yeah. Like that bit, okay, it's horrific because that is so painful. But it feels sturdier.

I was younger. I thought that was the extent of the pubes. Like, I didn't realize that, like, they, like, go under. I thought it was just a bit on the top. Like a bit of grass. I just find that out then. I think I must have seen it in a mirror and it's been like, whoa. Did not realize that was there.

Yeah, that feels sturdy. You're right. It's like a. strong. But I, like, I stopped waxing because of the pain. I can't, I've got such a low, low pain threshold. I can't. I can't. I can't. I like it. I can't do it. I'm absolutely fine with it. And it's like, once it's gone on, and you're like, there is no, there is no way to get out of this other than it coming off. There's nothing I can do. And it's just horrible. I need to find the new, I found one really good one. It went with you. You didn't come with me. You waited outside and

had a coffee. Oh yeah. Yeah. I want to go back there, but it's such a long way to go. But they're the only ones that I found really good. Also, people say that if you go regularly, it hurts less. I don't believe that because I did it for years. And it just, I do have, I do have sensitive skin. Because, like, whenever I had one, it would be red for, like, two weeks afterwards, like, pure red.

So I do think I have got sensitive skin. But it never hurt any less. It hurt just as much. It was horrendous. My sister has sugaring, which apparently is amazing because she's got very sensitive skin and she thinks really good. I see, I've got such a high pain threshold. I'm like, go on then.

I remember going to one that was the least painful one I went to, and they did it all in little strips. Rather than one big strip, they did it all in little strips, and that hurt far, far less, but it just took one's... No one's like three hours. Landscape gardeners.

This is painful. Yeah, no, I'm fine. I like it. I want one right now. As we're talking about it, I'm like... Are you going to have one pre-birth? Well, you're not... Have you said yet?

No. I think I can't remember for us that. not sure if I'm having a jury's still out. Okay. It won't be my choice. It'll be the doctor's choice for the rehabstas area. Anyway, I had a dream last night that I had a vaginal birth. That was nice.

So I thought that might be like a pre, like a, I might have like foreshadowed it. That might be what I get. Anyway. Yeah, like I, I haven't had a wax since I've been pregnant, which is quite a long time. That's quite a long time. I know. They wouldn't know you've got a hairy asshole. It's not good.

It's not good. So I need to go urgently and then sometimes, you know, you can like shave. You can just need. eating it up like when you've had to do. Maybe I've had one actually because it was summer. But yeah, you can sort of just, you know, you can you can tied yourself over, which is good. And then I had to go to an appointment the other day where they had to examine my cervix. Yeah.

And I was like, I can't take this to that. So I tried to do it myself. But now my tummy's got so big. I couldn't quite like get there. So I was like, fuck's sake. So I need to go for a wax now. Yes, I think it's going to help me feel better about myself. Yeah.

I remember seeing an episode of the Kardashians once where, like, Courtney's, like, basically they all teased her because their pews were just, like, everywhere. And Scott's, like, got a trimmer when she's pregnant and just, like, trying to get. I was like, I don't think that's something. I already am hearing about perineum massages. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how partners have to get involved. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm like, yeah.

It doesn't sound good. No, that doesn't sound great, does it? No. But I have heard that that massively helps to tell you. Yeah. My god mum My mum said the day advice from the grave

Because my god mum's passed now But she Her passing wisdom to me Is to use almond oil Not to be confused with almond butter On your day, basically My mum was really trying to stress And she was like, don't use almond butter

I was like, how thick do you think I am? I know I thought you could say like don't confuse with sunflower oil No no no Oh, I just get a knife and just spread it on. Like, it's a fucking bagel. Yeah, no, not great. Loxetan do an almond oil.

They do. There you go. Yeah, but I think I need to wax before I start doing that. You might need to check that it's like, because a lot of stuff you can't use on genotavia or around. Right, so what do you suggest a cougal? Like, loxatatatan almond oil, can you use around genetase? Can you use it on your gooch?

Can you use it on your gooch? I'll DM them. I, yeah. Message Jenny. She's pregnant. She'll get it. She'll know. That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Okay. Obviously, to caveat, you obviously don't need to have a wax. Oh my God. Yeah, that's the other thing as well. The more pregnant I am, the more I'm just like... I don't care. If that, if we're, if growing a human body inside me is natural, then so are those. Do you know what I mean?

100%. Like, I really... A hundred percent. Yeah, I just... I, I just... I wish I could shake. This is like the last, that's not the last bit,

but I wish I could shake the petrily, oh, God, shackles that waxing has over me. I know. I wish I could look at, like, like, my vagina and be like, stunning. And I can't. It's so annoying. But we're on our way.

Are we? I don't know. What do you do with yours then? Shave? All the time. Do you not get, like, growing hairs and bumps and? yes more so than what thing and how do you shave your bum hole I can't cope with the pain do you shave your bum hole I don't want to show off I don't really have a hairy bum hole are you sure I'm quite sure

how sure I mean look I don't like take a microscope to it every night just to check but it's not it's not an issue I'd say no you know no but also this is a much fun information about me my bumble hair is blonde is it yeah really Yeah. That's really weird. I know. But your arm hair is blonde, isn't it? Very blonde. Yeah. Yeah. And so is my leg hair. Yeah.

So it actually doesn't look very... A fake town, yes. So it doesn't look very blonde. But yeah, my leg hair is blonde. Okay. My eyebrows are not. My arm hair is not. Yeah, your eyebrows are... My eyebrows are super dark. Because, yeah, mine's... I don't know, weird.

See, I wish it was normal where we could all just like... Hey, show me your bum hole, but it's not. So we can... Yes. I don't want to see yours. But I just... feel like it would help so much like for the listeners if it was just more standard

for us to just see like just more bum holes you know what I mean? But shaving oh my God is such a fath it is it is a fath how often do you do it? Like probably every week

yeah shit or all kind of just when I'm in the shower you do all of it yeah fuck that's brave because I'm always scared to bring a razor to the I do have to stay and this this isn't sponsored but the Venus pubic razor is a game changer

because it's like smaller than normal razors and it's much easier to use yeah so that's what it's designed for I suppose yeah yeah interesting no I'm going to book him for a wax I need to find somebody the problem is right

and this is like this is probably not what I should share and we definitely should run this episode up but sometimes when you talk to people that do your nails like you know you make small talk and you say oh is there anything you don't like doing And so often they say I don't like waxing. And I'm just like, fuck, does that mean nobody likes doing waxing? Probably not.

Probably not. Some people find it therapeutic, though. They find the process of it. I wish I could do it myself. You know how you watch, oh my God, I'm obsessed with rug cleaners on take up. Rugged same, love it. Oh my God, it's so good. But I imagine it's a little bit like that with waxing.

They kind of get to go through that process. I imagine it's like that. Or ironing. Like you get something really creased. Any beauty therapists. or a waxing therapist listening to this, let us know. Do you actually enjoy it? And if you are listening, oh my God,

why have I never used this resource before? If you're listening to this and you've got somebody that you go and see in London that's good at waxing that seems to not hate it, can you let me know? Because I need somewhere closer to my house than where I currently go because it takes hours, so I never go. Great. Cool.
