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.
Minty fresh.
Mentos.
Are you okay?
No.
Dired.
Okay, shall we start?
Sweet or safe?
Just pick one.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
that's a really good point
yeah
practically
yeah like
it's probably
yeah
people keep making
this comparison to me
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
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
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
but
I can't
I want the dopamine, though.
Could just do cocaine now.
Could just do cocaine.
Yeah.
Good point.
Fuck it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
Bad joke.
I love you.
Ice baths over cocaine.
Bye.
Bye.
