Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome back to the Should I Delete That Podcast. I'm M. Clark. I'm Alex Light. And today is an episode, is it just me? Is it just me? Is it just me? It needs to... Minty breath.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Minty fresh. Mentos. Are you okay? No. Dired. Okay, shall we start? Sweet or safe? Just pick one.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Savory. Okay, you start with a serious one then. We have one funny story. Oh, no, let's ease us in. I meant sweet. Let's ease us in with an embarrassing story. Okay, I have an embarrassing story. Hi, girls.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I've been meaning to email for quite some time if I have a hard-relate to all of your fuck-wittery and hilariously grinchy stories. Love that. I have so very many stories that you might want to offer my own, you might want to offer me my own weekly spot as I'm such a clumsy pleb
Starting point is 00:01:04 and have 47 years of horrors that will make your toes curl with the ick. Okay. Therefore, I'm going to send you multiple emails like a complete psycho in the hope that you choose. One, I'm an illustrator, so I work on my own a lot of the time and listen to your podcast when I'm drawing. When I don't draw quietly, I go into schools all over the world
Starting point is 00:01:19 and draw in front of hundreds of kids. Yes, it really is the best job in the world. And as you can imagine, I have many kid-related stories. This one happened in a school. Okay. I was working in a primary school. and needed to knit to the loo before my next drawing session. The visitors' toilets were miles away
Starting point is 00:01:34 and I was short on time so I thought I'd just hop into a gent's loo nearby. Now, these loos are not very often used, barely any male staff, and are filled with PE equipment, boxes of chocolate, I wish. Boxes of Christmas decorations and such like. This weird little toilet was inside what looked like a caretakers cupboard. I scrambled between the boxes, eager to relieve myself. God, that's brave. How did she know it was blonde?
Starting point is 00:01:56 Anyway, scramble between the... maybe I'm foreshadowing. I scrambled between the boxes, eager to relieve myself. I realised that the door lock was broken, but it was too late, and I had to get back to the hall. Sod it. Had a wee and then realised there wasn't any loo roll. Shit.
Starting point is 00:02:10 I got us behind me on a very high window ledge, and there was a stack of loo rolls. Hallelujah. With my knickers around my ankles and full moon out, I quickly stood up and reached over to grab a roll when all of a sudden, an old man burst through the frigging door and saw my whole massive white ass. The caretaker, whose toilet obviously was,
Starting point is 00:02:27 and smacked the door into my ass, I gulped in shock and horror and threw the giant new roll and lurked behind the door. I shoved my foot against the door, bit late now, had a wipe, I've never scrunched paper in my life, and pulled up my tights,
Starting point is 00:02:38 heart racing, I gingerly opened the toilet door. Now, if you were just mortified an innocent lady visitor, would you not have saved her blushes and gone elsewhere for a pee? Absolutely. Absolutely. I think this purve wanted to put a face to the moon
Starting point is 00:02:52 as the caretaker was standing and waiting outside this cupboard. I then had awkwardly apologised whilst negotiating my way around boxes of clipboards and PE cones, squeeze past him whilst avoiding all eye contact and exit. I saw him in the star from later and just died inside. An awful moment, but it makes people laugh. If it makes people laugh, it can only be a good thing. Oh, God, it's the fact that the door smacked into her ass as well.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I know, because that's embarrassing. Also, like, any time that you're being, I always feel like, there's something about being bent over and then hit, you're just off your balance. You're off your game, you're vulnerable. You're so vulnerable. And your butt holes in the air. And I just feel like but holes should only face down. Although when she said full moon, I thought she meant fanny.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I didn't realize she meant. I probably that too. Depends what kind of angle she was bent at. Oh, God. In his defense. Yeah. She was in his office. To all intents and purposes.
Starting point is 00:03:44 She was taking a pee. I mean, it wasn't what he was expecting to see. But I mean, he should have, he should not have been there, you know? He should have gone after that. Oh, yeah, he should have gone. He well should have gone. Yeah. But she exactly.
Starting point is 00:03:57 the context, you run. You go. You do not. You do not wait around. I think I told him so I remember opening the door once to my friend on the loo. Clearly having poop. And my mum's got like a whole, like a really big mirror in her bathroom. So I opened the door and it was fine because he was on the loo, but I opened the door
Starting point is 00:04:14 and I locked eyes with him through the mirror. It was like in Harry Potter 2. You couldn't make direct eye contact like we were just petrified. We weren't killed. We just saw each other through the mirror. And it was like, and then, but unfortunately, when you see him in the mirror, I looked at his eyes, and then I saw his whole body, and I was like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:04:31 The eyes were really horrible. And then I just had to slam the door, and I just had to go and sit back at dinner, and he just had to come back to dinner. It was my mum's friends as well, so it wasn't really like one of my friends. So it was just like, uncomfortable. Did you mention it?
Starting point is 00:04:42 No, what was I going to say? Did you have a nice poo? Couldn't you say that? Find that incredibly uncomfortable. I also would have given him a reprimand because we have a very, very, very strict rule at my mum's house that you don't poo in the downstairs, Lou. Oh, I enjoy that.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I think that's really good. We wrote a poem, During COVID, we wrote a poem because we were bored and we had a poem that we laminated and put on the back of the door, you don't poo in the downstairs loo. I feel like that is an unwritten rule in all houses. I think it should be. It definitely should be.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I got home the other day. Mum's home, got home home. Yeah. There's no one that I can see in the house. And I went through the house and I went to the loo because I was desperate for weeks, I've been in the car and I went to the loo. Stank of poo. I was like, who's...
Starting point is 00:05:25 That's really bad. Yeah, shame on you. And it was one of my brother's friends. And the poor guy, because he obviously didn't know the rules. And it was really sunny. So I think they'd been outside doing whatever people doing the summer. And they came back inside and Finn went straight away. He went, yeah, I'm not going to say his name because it's embarrassing for him.
Starting point is 00:05:43 But he went, yeah, he did a poo. He didn't know the rules. Did a poo in the downstairs too. And this poor guy who does not know me or my sister or my husband or anybody was like... Blatter him. Yeah, he was like, oh, and we were all like, shame. Boom. Did he not see the poem?
Starting point is 00:05:56 The poem's gone. It's gone. See, you need to get the poem up. Yeah, we also had, yeah, I mean, but it is an unspoken rule. It is. It is. No, that feels very communal. You can in your own house and you know that no one's coming. I sometimes peer the dancers leave for a treat now. For retreat.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Well, yeah, because it's like, it's a whole ordeal if I've got to take Arlo upstairs. You know what I mean? Like, so it's easier now. That's a lot. Yeah. But you've got to be safe in the knowledge that no one's coming. Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. Don't subject people.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Also, I hate doing another people's, like, downstairs with because what if it doesn't go. What if you do a poo? I mean, we've read enough embarrassing stories on this podcast to know that it doesn't always go. It doesn't always go. No. Like you've, oh my God, Al, I had a dream a a couple of nights ago that, oh my God, I had a dream that I did such a big poo. Like, I have a flowed. But you're really desperate for a poo? You know, like, in your dream when you're so thirsty and you just, you dream that you're just drinking, drinking, drinking and nothing's quenching your thirst. Was it like that? I think it was been, I'm really relieved when I woke up, but I hadn't shut myself.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Oh my God, so, yeah, so bad. I just had this, like, this, like, insatiable need to poo, and it just, like, overflowed and everything, and I was trying to hide out into the carpet. My mum's got out. Oh, my God. That's disgusting. Yeah, I felt bad for the guy that pooed in the downstairs loo.
Starting point is 00:07:08 But then it's like, don't poo in the downstairs loo. I know. Get a grip. Get a grip. Did you not learn some manners? I know. Like, it does feel unspoke. Name and shame.
Starting point is 00:07:18 No, she's talking. Yeah, it's called . Fine, I've said his name. No, Daisy to do it up. But it's so name, isn't it? I'm going to give us, and is it just me? It's a bit of a serious one. Ooh, we haven't had one of those in a while.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah, it is a serious one, actually. Okay. Hi, Em and Alex. I've listened to the podcast for a long time now, and I'm a huge fan. It's helped me through hard periods in my life, and I'm forever grateful to have something each week to look forward to. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I moved abroad a year ago and found a job, and through this job, I found friends who have felt more like family. However, I recently found myself suffering a relapse with my eating disorder and my friends have supported me through, but I'm still negotiating my way through to recovery. I currently shut myself down and pushed my friends away because I felt such guilt for the effort they were putting in and the hurt that I was causing them. I just wanted to continue my eating disorder behaviours without having to lie to anyone and with no friends, that just seemed easier.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I don't want to interact with anyone or join social occasions as I get so much anxiety. I had a big argument with one of my closest friends and now I'm at a point where I'm alone with my eating disorder I miss my friends but I don't know how to reach out again as it's my fault and it was my decision to terminate communication I don't know what to do as I'm struggling to understand why I did what I did I caused a lot of hurt but I felt like I was hurting them more and being a burden in my eating disorder
Starting point is 00:08:41 so it seemed better to just be alone I'd love some advice or support or just to know I'm not alone anonymous I want to give her a big hug I think maybe like you might be better place to answer it But for what it's worth, I think, you know, you can recognise that you're not well and your illness has pushed you to do this. And I think a lot of mental health illnesses cause us to think that we're better off alone. And I think that's the power of them is that they do isolate us from our friends and from our people.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And so, like, I think stop blaming yourself for what's happened and who's to blame for how the relationships. And I don't think they're ended forever. Like, I'm sure there's a way back. Definitely. What do you think? Exactly that. I think it's a mental health illness. And they're really insidious and they permeate all areas of your life.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And they are so pervasive in your own head that it doesn't leave much room for a social life. And it can be so much easier to just be alone. Like I was exactly the same. I just found myself just wanting to be alone, desiring to be alone. because it just took over my whole life and I didn't have the capacity for anyone else, for socialising, I just couldn't take it.
Starting point is 00:10:01 And it's a weird thing, anorexia, and maybe people with addictions will have this same thing, but it's like your, sorry, I don't mean to say anorexia, an eating disorder, because it's like it makes you feel like this false sense of like you're happy when you're just with your eating disorder, like you're secure and it's like your best friend, and it feels good like in the moment but ultimately it's so toxic and it like you said it isolates
Starting point is 00:10:30 you and it leads you so far away from the connections in your life but it's so important to understand that this is this is your mental health illness this isn't you it isn't the real you it's what you're going through and your friends will I'm I really hope that your friends would understand that and if you were to explain to them like I'm so sorry that I did that and explain what you explain to us like that seems so reasonable and normal to me and and I think if they are your true friends and they're you know reasonable and understanding they will understand why you push them away why you isolated yourself and they will let you back in again and it sounds like they're worth fighting for as well you said that you know you made these friends and they felt more like
Starting point is 00:11:12 family they're worth fighting for and it's worth a chance to get them back so I think what you do is communicate with them, even writing something like this, like you've written to us, even just writing something like this to them and sending it to them and saying, like, I just, with no expectations, I just want you to know. This is what's happened. This is why. This is why I've removed myself. I think writing is so powerful. Yeah. Because there's no, you won't get sidetracked or, like, you know, you'll get to your point and like, and they can process it in their own way. And express yourself exactly how you want to and say everything that you really want. to say.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Yeah. And I think, like, one of the biggest things for me about, like, growing up is that you realize people aren't going to be the same. Like, I think maybe when you're at school or, like, when you're younger and your relationships, I think we view relationships or friendships is quite two-dimensional when we're at school. And it's like maybe because we literally only have these people in this context. So it's like, oh, I like hanging out with Daisy because Daisy's good at skipping and I
Starting point is 00:12:13 like skipping. And then it's like a bit later. It's like, I like hanging out with Katie because Katie and I both smoke cigarettes behind the, you You know, like, we kind of, we have our different friends for different things. And I think, like, accepting each other. And like you say, as I'll just said, you know, you had friends, your friends feel more like family. And I think it's at that point that you have to realize that a friendship takes on another dimension. And when it is just a two-dimensional friendship and when you've got work friends or you've got home friends or you've got whatever, like you don't need that much from your people.
Starting point is 00:12:42 But when you have friends that are like family and I've got friends like that and friendships like that are like, you know, so much more. than just friends then you have to accept a lot of that person and you have to accept that not every bit's going to be easy not every bit's going to be palatable not every bit's even going to be that nice
Starting point is 00:13:02 but like on balance the person's still worth it and I don't think we talk about that very much like we do in relationship about compromise and about expectations and I just don't think we do that with friendships very often and it's like you kind of you get to look at this person and on balance decide what you want to do
Starting point is 00:13:17 with them because you can see that you can see they're all and that's really nice and I think like framing this in another way your friends have seen your all now and they will I think be a lot more receptive than you think for accepting what you're going through because we do get to a point as we get older
Starting point is 00:13:35 that we just realise that everybody's carrying their own shit and like and that's okay and you can move past it you've hurt yourself and they'll see that here I think you'll have hurt yourself a lot more more than you'll have hurt them. And I think they'll see that too. Yeah. And I think it's going to be alright. I think like, yeah, like I'll say, write it down. I think so. And if you put
Starting point is 00:13:55 yourself in their position, like, how would you feel if they came, if the reverse had happened and then they came to you and just said like, look, I'm so sorry, this is why it happened and I want to fix it. Then I'm pretty sure that you'd be like, of course. Like, I don't understand. I don't understand, but I get it. And let's move on. I had a friend that I've not full out with, but I guess definitely grew apart from and maybe there was a bit of like falling out. And it was years ago.
Starting point is 00:14:30 It was in like 2015 maybe. And I think in 2018, and I'm not saying you need to wait three years, but in 2018 I got a message from her not too dissimilar to the one we're suggesting that you send, basically saying that she had been quite unwell. Yeah. And could we meet?
Starting point is 00:14:44 And we went up for dinner and it was lovely. It was just lovely. Yeah. That's really nice. And, like, of course. Like, you know, of course. Like, and I just, I think we talk about this in an episode with Jack recently about how there are no justified resentments. And I just don't think anything that you've done will be that bad.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I agree. Yeah. I think they're going to be absolutely fine. I think it's going to be fine. Things are so much bigger when you, like, keep them bottled up in your own head. But I bet, I bet you make some kind of action on this. And it will be instant relief and you'll see, like, fairly quickly that it's all. going to be okay. It's a nomad thing that I had to do. I know. I know. I know. So fucking
Starting point is 00:15:23 massive. And then you do the thing. And it's like, oh, that was the thing. I know. So easy. Like it took me how, like, I had to send a big scary email recently, didn't I? Yeah. And how long did about six weeks? And then I sent it and I literally replied to you like that night, it's all resolved. Like the other person replied in like half an hour. I was like, oh, well, there's that task that could have taken two minutes, but took six weeks in two minutes. It is mad what the mind can do, though. We're bad like that. We're our own worst enemy.
Starting point is 00:15:54 We stand in our own way. It was so much. We make the biggest mountains for ourselves. Honestly, so the best case scenarios, most of the things I face are moguls, and I treat them like I've got to fucking summit Mount Everest every morning. Mogals. They would be easy. I could hop over them.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Turtles, best case. And I treat them like fucking volcanoes. I'm like, oh no. This is absolutely no reason for this. Yeah. I hate myself for it. Honestly, Alex asked me to do like the easiest tasks in the world. Just don't do them.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I just don't do them. For no good reason. I do get that. I can't change the sheets. Can you not? No. Such a mental block with it. You can't change the sheets?
Starting point is 00:16:37 No, I mean, I can. But it's like one of the hardest things that I do in my life, apart from cooking. Taking them off. Or putting them back on again? Because putting them back on again is hell. Taking them off. I can take them off.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Oh, yeah. I just can't put them back on again. I mean, I can, but like, it sounds ridiculous, but I will cry. I will get frustrated, really frustrated with myself. Like really, really mad at myself. At which point? Mattress or duvet? Duvet.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Duvay. You do the trick, though, right? Stand on the bed and wiggle it. No, I just, no, it's going to upset me. Like, let's move on. Really? It really stresses me out. fitted, the fitted mattress
Starting point is 00:17:15 that's the fitted bottom sheet. Oh, I like that, that's fine, that's easy. Because I can see all, that makes sense to me. That's all figured out. Like, it's the duvet that's like, there's four corners, but there's two sheets. There's technically like eight corners, and then there's the corners of the duvet.
Starting point is 00:17:28 There's only four corners? And then if you get it in. No, but then even if you get them in and then not all the corners go into the corners. And so you've got, like, I just get mad and frustrated. And it's like going back to trying to learn things in geography that I just couldn't get my.
Starting point is 00:17:43 head around and I fucking hate it. I'm not good when I don't understand stuff. I get really mad. I have some follow-up questions. One, how often do you not change the sheets? How often are the sheets changed? So, probably like, once or twice a week. Oh, no, no, sorry.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Either once every two weeks or once a week, depends. Okay, and then what does, so Dave does them? I start. I start and I get mad Oh see you have to be tactical You've got to play the long game here I do pillow I'm like oh baby we've forgot to put the sheets on
Starting point is 00:18:20 So then together we'll do it And I'm like I'll take the pillows Oh I love the pillows easy Easy sitch Easy yeah Fucking duvet I just can't I just can't bear I've got a video of me
Starting point is 00:18:32 But really tragic when I had COVID And I've been like Festering in my own sheets for so long And it literally took me like Because I said like an hour To change the sheets I didn't even have the energy to pick up the dovet
Starting point is 00:18:43 I was like, oh my god this is bleak and all the buttons I was like why there's so many why can't they put poppers on bed sheets buttons always come off as well
Starting point is 00:18:52 I think there is got to be a hack like people have got to come up with bed sheets that are easy to put on we can't be in the washing machine
Starting point is 00:19:01 in 2023 yeah that's good idea we can't be in 2022 and still having to do this yeah surely there is a way because I've got a rug
Starting point is 00:19:07 I've got a rug from rugable that I can put in the washing machine same dog one yeah although I say this, but I've been reading stuff recently about how, like, the industrialisation... Is it bad for the environment?
Starting point is 00:19:20 No, industrialisation? How, like, all the machines that we've, that have been invented to, like, help us, you know, like, washing machines and everything, dishwashers and everything like that have actually contributed to, like, poorer mental health. Did a man like this study because he wants to encourage more women to do more good things? something with your hands. No, get back to those dishes. It's a really good mindfulness exercise. Want to feel cleansed. Put the sage stick down.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Get the washing machine going, this sounds like a classic daily male, male expert to keep women busy. It's interesting. It's a psychiatrist called Dr. Annalemke. And she talks about how we, basically, we don't work for our rewards anymore. Oh, that's a bit of you. And that's why we, like, the richer countries, where we, We have more access to things that help us not work towards our awards.
Starting point is 00:20:16 We just get the rewards without the work. That's why we're unhappier. Oh my God, because we don't get like, that is interesting. Yeah, because we like... I've seen that with toasters. I'm like, in the olden days, you must have appreciated a piece of toast so much more because you had to like... Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I mean, or like, yeah, I mean... Yeah, it's interesting. You'd have to make the bread. That you couldn't just buy the bread. Right. You'd have to make the bread. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:41 And you'd have to like... catch the deer to kill it and then eat it, which arguably make me a lot less happen. I don't know, the cow. You'd have to catch cows. Like, I imagine catching a cow is incredibly easy. Sorry, we just went from bread to... Well, yes, you'd have to kill your food. Okay, fine. I was like, you don't need deer for bread, Em. No, you don't need deer for bread. But I mean, like, okay, it's not exactly a rewarding sport catching and killing a cow. Like, they're slow. Like, you could catch a cow no drama. Catch a sheep, no drama.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Catching a deer, on the other hand. Now, that's hard work. A lot of drama. A lot of drama. Yeah. So that's kind of what I meant in terms of like the, yeah, I guess that does make sense. I think it does. She says that we have like, we pre, no, she says this, but I think this is definitely true. Like, we process pain and pleasure in the same part of our brain. And when we have too much pleasure without the pain, it automatically, like, keeps us tips to a pain balance, like mental health issues. Really, really interesting. So we should be like hand washing our clothes. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:21:44 But like we should be doing more things that give us pain and not in like a, oh my God, unbearable way. But like things like exercise and like that's why people love ice baths. That makes sense because I'm quite happy. Do you know that cocaine raises our dopamine levels by 2.5? Yeah. And so does ice bathing. I know. I love that.
Starting point is 00:22:02 But cocaine only lasts for nine minutes or peaks at nine minutes. And ice bathing lasts for hours and hours. Well, just as well because you can't take an ice bath. with you everywhere you go and you can't take cocaine wherever you want that's a good point
Starting point is 00:22:13 that's a really good point yeah practically yeah like it's probably yeah people keep making this comparison to me
Starting point is 00:22:20 and I'm like yeah fine okay but also like I'd probably rather too going to get but like ice baths look horrible I want to do an ice bath
Starting point is 00:22:27 I want to know should we go yeah I'm really keen yeah okay yeah I mean I've been doing it because I'm in the Irish
Starting point is 00:22:33 sea all summer but yeah yeah basically the same thing yeah it just look a bit horrible it does I'm a bit of pussy with stuff like that
Starting point is 00:22:39 but I can't I want the dopamine, though. Could just do cocaine now. Could just do cocaine. Yeah. Good point. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Probably about the same price. It's from one go. Probably. People buy them. That's the problem with the ice bath. I think it's like it becomes a sort of cornerstone of a personality if you're not careful. Oh, ice bath. Oh, I can't get out of.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I can't start the date. I can't stop the date. Oh, fuck off. Yeah, but I want to be that. I want to be that. I want to do that. But you want to be that. Oh, this is the drum kit.
Starting point is 00:23:10 No, no, no, no, no. It's the Peloton. I don't think I can afford an ice bath, though, unfortunately. It's the meditation app. Also, you have to put, you have to put ice in your bath every morning to do it. Oh my God, what? Sorry. Surely.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Just it just comes full of ice. Exactly. So, fuck that. So, fuck that. Why would you buy them? Why wouldn't you just put your bath outside? Why don't you just fill your own bath with ice? This is what she means.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Everything's too easy. Surely not. Surely not. Surely the ice bath makes its own ice. Ice. Ice baby. That must be really expensive. Yeah, because otherwise, what are you paying for? You just get a big bucket and sit in that? Like a cooler box? Like a beer bowl. Wow. No, you really do have to do it yourself. So why do you have to pay so much for the one?
Starting point is 00:24:00 I don't know. Yeah, honestly, it's sounding easier to me. Fuck that. Oh my God, proper... Guess how much a proper ice bath is. Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess. No, guess, guess. Guess. I'm guessing. Three hundred and fifty pounds.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Four thousand four hundred and ninety-nine pounds. And you have to still put your own ice in it? For that. No, sorry. That is a massive fucking freezer box. My mum's got one of those. It's lasted since like 1992. It's just in the shed.
Starting point is 00:24:33 That's insane. No, no, sorry, that's insane. And you've to put your own ice in there. That is absolutely insane. Because I'm not being funny. Why have you got to be that big? because you're not going to swim in it. You're not going to lie in it for like ages.
Starting point is 00:24:43 You're in and out. I've seen the videos on TikTok. People get it and they go, literally get out. And then they get out again. $4,500. Why don't you just use a wheelie bin? Seen on ITV this morning.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I don't care. Why don't you use a wheelie bin? Sorry, yeah, wheelie bin. Literally, that's just, that's just it. People sitting in it. Either put a stool in a wheelie bin or just go in your own bath, which presumably you have. Because I don't think a bath is that much.
Starting point is 00:25:11 A bath is like, what I said, like a couple of hundred pounds. Fuck. Just put eye... That's mad. That's mad. Just put ice in your own bath. Yeah. If you're going to do that anyway.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I mean, I'm guessing you can keep ice in there. I'm guessing, surely, for that price. But if you stay in there for, like, more than five minutes, and you'll get frostbite and hypothermia, so you can't stay in there for that long. But surely you can keep your ice in there for, like, days on end. See, this is what... Oh, maybe.
Starting point is 00:25:35 This is what the woman, she's right. Like, humans are weird. Like, why have we created this incredible. incredibly uncomfortable situation for us that's so expensive when we could just do something equally uncomfortable for free. Like there's loads of other shit stuff I'd rather do for free. Or like, hmm, no, probably not because I'm a marketer's dream. So I'll see that. And I'll be like, you'll have it on order tonight. I mean, I won't. I'll be like, what is this credit card bill? For four and a half thousand pounds, what for a tub? I wouldn't fit in my own wheelie
Starting point is 00:26:04 bin, though, because it's too small. It's not on wheels. I haven't got a wheelie bin. You don't get wheelie bins in London. You just have bins. And they're not big enough for me. Yeah, no, that's ridiculous. You could just fill your own bath. You also only need like a bit of ice and then just fill the rest with cold water, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Surely. Yeah. But what if you're getting your own bath? I'm actually really stressed out about this now. It's bad, isn't it? It's really bad. Consumerism is absolutely bonkers. Outrageous.
Starting point is 00:26:30 But yeah, she's right. Because why are we creating this much pain for ourselves? We'd be better off making stuff more pleasurable. And there must be something really right. wrong with this, we've got to, we're like, here's some pain for £4,000.5.00. Sorry, £4,500 for pain, because you're not getting enough of it because of your dishwasher and your washing machine. So here's something incredibly painful and expensive, it's more expensive than your washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher put together. Outrageous. I loved my
Starting point is 00:27:00 dishwasher. A hundred percent. One of the best things ever, although Dave insists on rinsing everything before he puts it in, which drives me coconuts. He's absolutely right, though. Otherwise, the filter's going to get blocked. I can't. I can't go into this. I know what will happen. The filter gets blocked. Whose job is it to unfix it? But the filter never gets blocked. It does. It doesn't because you rent them.
Starting point is 00:27:23 No, because I don't rinse them, and I do most of the dishwasher ink. And does Dave do most of the filter cleaning? Probably. That's why you're so hellburn when you're rinsing them. Have you ever cleaned a washing machine filter? No. Yeah. Do, but also don't. Plan on it either.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I mean, like, it can save in the remit of like £800 because you have to get a new one if you don't clean it enough. But when I cleaned mine, because my dishwasher, my washing machine was all funny. I'm not, I've got stomach for it right now. Oh, that was really bad. I found like two false nails, not mine. I've put a video on my Instagram. Do you don't remember this?
Starting point is 00:27:56 It was a couple of years ago. I did it as a real. And a key. I found my own house key. That was useful. That is useful. But yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Clean it. I mean, you find else. That's really weird because Dave found loads of false nails in the washing machine. and was like, what are these? I don't know. I never wear false nails. That's fucking weird. I found false nails in mine,
Starting point is 00:28:12 that's very sick. Hmm. Gorgeous. Maybe Alex and Dave are training to be manicurists without telling us. I follow a girl on Instagram whose boyfriend does her nails and he's getting better and better and better
Starting point is 00:28:23 and it's so good. He's doing the best nail art. I'm like, this could be us, Dave, but you're shit. And he's too busy, changing the sheets, cleaning the washing machine filter, rinse in the dishwasher.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Yeah, he's a busy man. He's a busy man. This is just me. has been chaotic. Chaos. Then I've been up, women down with around the houses. I can't even remember where we started. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:43 But anyway. Yeah, we're not going to buy one, but we're going to get in an ice bath together and it'll be horrible. Yes, it will be hot. I'm excited though. Okay. I can't wait for the cocaine effect after?
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah. I just want to, can we just put it on record? We are not endorsing cocaine. No. Go spend all your money on an ice bath instead. It was all a joke. Bad joke. Bad joke.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Bad joke. I love you. Ice baths over cocaine. Bye. Bye. Should I delete that is part of the ACAS Creator Network.
