Starting point is 00:00:00 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-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. Hello. Hello. Happy Thursday. Hello. Welcome back to, should I delete that everyone? Hello. And anyone. I'm so desperate.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Before we kick us off. Oh, okay. I have something to say. If you haven't, is it just me? Please send it to us on the social media platform, Instagram. Fuck it. I lost it on the social. Please DM us on Instagram. Send us a voice note. We love them. Or you can send us an email. Should I delete that pod at gmail.com? Also, fucking shameless beg don't even give a shit we should say this at the beginning more often if you like the podcast please review it only if you like it if you don't like it don't even think about it thanks so much anyway and unsubscribe would be nice as well because then we just drop into your feed every week twice a week um i'm kicking us off with the question i got this week right
Starting point is 00:01:16 on instagram i didn't ask me anything okay yeah and this is the question i got do your farts come out the front of the back um mine come up the back and i said i don't don't understand, right? Because I'm... What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? I don't understand. Do you, obviously, your farts come out the back, right? Not necessarily. And then I got some messages that explain this. No, no, this is a thing. Sometimes my farts come out the back, but travel through my cheeks to the front. And then another person said, sorry, I didn't swallow that burp, sorry. Another person said, oh my God, yes. Where the fart bubble, goes from your bum up your fanny it's so stressful oh i can't believe why is it when i sit in this chair
Starting point is 00:02:05 i feel they need to share to the lengths that i do come on let's go i i've i've i've had it happened once where i felt came out the front it's since i've been pregnant i've been going through some stuff and i was like oh my god i get what you if you're sitting down sitting down very firmly i think i was lying i think the pregnancy pillow's putting me in new places but actually That doesn't make sense because surely if your butts facing outwards, it's just going to go, right? There's no. But if you're like, yeah, like if you're lying like a banana and then you do one, it's probably got to come out the front. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Because it's no space up the back. Right. Do you know what I mean? I was thinking more what's sitting down, like if you're sitting down really hard and then it's got nowhere to travel, but out the front. Do you ever watch people lift their cheek to fart? Because that is the most stressful thing. My brother does it. It's so round.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Yes. I, yes. I'm like, oh, put it down. Like, if you can't get it out, if it's not coming out, if it doesn't need to come out, don't fucking force it. Dave, like, comes up with, like, increasingly imaginative ways to fart in front of me. And yesterday, he did, you know, when people jump in the air and tap their feet, you know, like a little, what do you call it? All the time.
Starting point is 00:03:18 What do you call it? Yeah, a little two-step, like a little, like a little, like, chim chiminy, like, dancing in the rain. Exactly. Yeah, I'm with you. Dave did that yesterday. And as he tapped his feet, when he does it. jumped and tapped his feet and as he tapped his feet he farted and I was like why why why I just don't understand that was a lot of effort
Starting point is 00:03:34 like you didn't need to do that I yeah okay so I I've never been particularly gassy I'm not like I'm not a trumper which is weird because I've always had my IBS and I'm just it's not really not really in the cards for me but pregnancy's kind of kicking me into into some into some shapes it's been a bit really it's been a bit much and me and Alex we just don't really fart in front he's not a massive fatter I'm not is he not no we just it's not really all thing and he's he is like a cat he's so clean like he doesn't like to do boy things like to smell or anything so no he's quite private like if he has to trump he'll like take himself off i love that like a cat do it quietly like it's very and but and i've had to do like i farce with you
Starting point is 00:04:16 the day on the sofa and i just wanted to die i was like oh my god and it was like a little like oh and he looked at me like what have you done i was like i don't did you know like to say boo-oh It was a fucking new. No, it was clearly me. It was clearly me. It came out of the back. It was clear. Dave is so disgusting.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Like, beyond disgusting. Not really, but like I wouldn't, like, hold it in and be like, I can't, I never farted in front of my ex-boyfriend and he never farted in front of me. But those barriers soon came down when I met Dave because I think, like, on our second date, he just happily, like, unapologetically farted. Maybe not second, actually, like a few dates in. He just had no shame around the whole thing. And I was like, do you know what?
Starting point is 00:04:58 It's quite refreshing. I don't mind it. Okay. It would be nice to have a little bit of shame. Yeah. There's a balance. I mean, he does poo with the door open, like trying to talk to me. So there's that.
Starting point is 00:05:09 That's quite a lot. Do you ever? No. Also, I just didn't understand why he wants to. And I don't want anyone to hear my plot. No. I play music when I poo. I watch TikTok.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah. This morning, because I ate beans for dinner and I woke up. And this is like a really, like, stressful part of like, pregnonty. Sometimes you wake up in the morning You're like, out And then it's like, it's something wrong And then I work at this morning And then I had to go through my mind
Starting point is 00:05:32 I had to go through last night And I was like, no, I just have baked beans for dinner I'm fine So then I said to go and sit like six in the morning And just have like a big part And I was like, oh I'm fine again I saw my friend recently And she said that
Starting point is 00:05:45 She went to the loo to do poo Right Started watching TikTok And got so engrossed in TikTok That she forgot where she was And so when she went to wipe It was like it all dry so she had to use an actual wipe rather than tissue paper because it had all dried.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Oh my fucking God. Because she'd been so long on the loom. I just assumed it always just stayed there ready to be wiped. Yeah. Can I ask something? Do people not wipe their butts? You know when men have like skid marks and stuff? They just not wipe their bottoms.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Obviously not or not well enough. That's fucking rank. I swear it's because it's the people who wipe standing up. I swear that's the problem. Why would you wipe standing up? Yeah, but a lot of people do. a lot of people do you have to keep them spread that's the point of the seat yeah oh yeah I remember the day my bum first covered the loo seat covered yeah like I remember the day my bum was like the size
Starting point is 00:06:38 of the loo like the day I fit the loo do you know what I mean I just remember for years like not fitting the loo and there was always a gap at the back you so you can't properly spread no yeah because you're just too small oh what a day I know I remember I remember I'll tell you why it's because my cousin is the same age as me he's like two months old but he's huge like and he's aborting they grow faster yeah I just remember him like just being able to do everything first I don't remember that milestone in my life which is crazy yeah that is weird don't know why so I have something serious oh gosh okay game face on isn't it scandalous yeah yeah scandalous hi ladies I'm on maternity leave with my nine month old little girl which is
Starting point is 00:07:19 making it quite hard for me to socialize the way I did before her this means that this issue is trickier for me to discuss with friends my best friends don't live this is a long way round of me saying I feel like that when I listen to you to I'm with friends therefore I would really like your opinion on the blow you are with friends my and congratulations on your little baby my mother-in-law has a lot of opinions that we do not agree with and do not want her saying around her around our daughter which is her only grandchild whilst this is something we are going to be working on as our daughter gets older and starts understanding things something that I'm struggling with imminently is
Starting point is 00:07:52 her comments on weight she always talks about her own weight which I don't want to her doing in front of my daughter but she's also obsessed with mine and always has been most recently she's made comments such as you're always eating you eat so much i don't know how you're so skinny i guess what i'm asking is how do i deal with these comments in the present and start approaching her comments and behaviors about weight etc in front of my daughter thank you please keep anonymous oh that's very tough it is um i always recommend this book body happy kids and it talks about the importance of talking about your body in a positive light in front of your kids, I think you should in a kind way gift this book or just say, I've read this book, it was amazing, I'd love you to
Starting point is 00:08:38 read it too. Like, it's how I'm going to bring up my daughter. Like, it's really, it's contributed to like, you know, helping me understand like the morals and values of how I want to bring up my daughter and stuff like that. And give her that book and ask her to read it. And I think, that will better put into words also as well when it's people that we know telling us stuff we tend to take less notice than people that we don't know we seem to like give someone we don't know more authority so I feel like that book could be a really good way of her of it sort of hitting home that she can't she needs to just stop mentioning weight and body and she can't do it in front of your
Starting point is 00:09:19 daughter and you have to set a really firm boundary there and I think if the book doesn't work something that I would consider i don't know if this is probably appropriate obviously i don't have a child yet and i don't know i don't know this is what you do with kids this could be terrible advice um i'm intrigued but i don't know i mean i so one a really good friend of mine has a nine-year-old daughter and she's a single mom to this little girl and the way that they communicate with each other is so great and this little girl doesn't have you know she's got grown-up issues in her life. And I think a lot of kids have grown-up issues in their life. And I think we are very naive to
Starting point is 00:09:57 think that kids aren't exposed to the big bad world. And whether it's like diet culture or divorce parents or mental health struggles or whatever it is. Like we are, you know, kids are exposed as much as parents try and protect them. Like they are exposed to adulting. My friend has this amazing relationship with her daughter that she's always had where she is just so honest with her. And they communicate like grown-ups. Like she doesn't patronise her daughter. She doesn't try and hide things from her she's so honest with how things are it's amazing it's really cool and i think it's a really good way and it's she's been very inspiring to me in terms of how i want to parent my kid and my daughter but it makes me realize that i think what you can do as a mom is create a really
Starting point is 00:10:42 strong bond with your daughter and you know where your boundaries are and you and your husband or your partner know where your boundaries are so you know that you aren't going to discuss your weight with your kid or in front of your kid you can't control external factors and it's actually a really important lesson for your daughter to learn in time is that she can't control the outside world around her and what she and you have to teach her to do
Starting point is 00:11:03 is control how she reacted to it and I think always having the conversation from as soon as she is cognizant that like when other people talk about and you can reference her granny if you want or you can say and I don't know if that's the pro that's what I mean about not talking how to talk to kids because you don't want to like impact their relationship
Starting point is 00:11:20 but you can say from an early age that people that talk about their bodies often aren't happy with their own people that talk about your bodies aren't happy with their own and isn't it sad that they're so distracted by this and whatever and making your daughter realize from the off anything that's projected onto her and I know she's only nine months old but I think realistically there were always going to be factors whether it's your mother-in-law which is always someone's mother-in-law
Starting point is 00:11:45 or it's like anything else that she's going to be exposed to as an adult or as a child as a teenager or whatever at any stage of her life i think having a really open communication with her and you can say i would i mean if it were me and i was in this position as she started getting older i would say we don't like it that granny talks about her body like that isn't it sad for granny like isn't it so sad that this is what she's focusing on because we don't have to do that here we we're free with food we we love our bodies as they are and that's what we're going to do and it's sad for her that she can't do that but me and you we're going to do this and that's how I'd because I think you have to concede like there's different
Starting point is 00:12:22 generational things and if it's not weight it'll probably be something else you know everybody's got an opinion of how you're going to raise your kid and mother-in-laws always have an opinion on how you're going to raise your kid so you just have to sit with your husband and your kid and work out what works for you three and then you as a as a unit will deal with external factors and accept that you can't control them you're just going to accept how you react to them that's why I'd say and help her build an armour. Yeah, because there's always going to be shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So it's like, and I think that from, I don't know how old are you supposed to be, that book's probably more helpful in terms of you learning, but like, just in case the mother-in-law doesn't take it, I think. Yeah, no, it's that you're spot on there, definitely. And it's true that you can't, you can't bring your daughter up in a vacuum, like all of those, and all the shit that we were, like, faced with growing up, there will be, like, an element of that that she will be exposed to,
Starting point is 00:13:17 but you can, like, yeah, help her build an armour so that it doesn't get internalised that stuff. It's more, she's more able to, like, let it bounce off of her and just... I think that's something that my friends really inspired me to do. It's like, when bad things are happening around her child, it's not pretending they're not happening or hoping, I think there's a lot of parents, like, hoping that the kid didn't hear or wasn't listening or didn't understand,
Starting point is 00:13:39 because kids understand fucking everything. It's like after the event being like, did you hear that? Because I heard that I didn't like what I heard. Did you like what you were? nice yeah so it's not like she's got to sit with it and feel shame about it or jumped her own conclusions it's like straight away like we didn't like didn't like that that's that must be really cool to see because I feel like all my friends their their um kids are all young so I've not really seen in my like adult years I've not really seen parenting yeah and that's quite I thought I must
Starting point is 00:14:07 be really nice to see so cool to watch it's been a massive inspiration for me because like you say like I can watch my friends with babies and it's just like what the fuck other than I like you know, you've just got to keep those alive, but like it's so much more complicated when they're like 10. 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-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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 You can also try out a Haven mattress risk-free for 100 nights at Havenmatress.ca. I was talking to my friend her daughter's four which is like the closest I've got now to like watching actual parenting of like a proper you know like as different as you when it's a baby and she was saying how she like talks so openly about her periods but also lets her daughter like watch and see like oh I've got like mummy's got her period
Starting point is 00:15:10 so she has to put this this pad in and the little girl's like oh you wear a nappy like me you know like And then she's like, oh, mommy needs a nappy this today and goes and gets her a nap, like a, you know, a napier, a pad. And I, and I, she's telling me that. And I was like, that's so lovely. That is just really nice.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Like, imagine. I can't imagine that. I mean, I had a lot of shame around my period. Yeah, holy shit. I was like, and I died when I got it. When my little sister got it, she thought she'd shout herself. How sad to that?
Starting point is 00:15:39 She did get it really early. She did get it really. No, not, not that one. Little sister, he'll go on. named um but and yeah that i thought that was very lovely and like raising her to like understand actual anatomy as well and say words like vulva and vagina and not like front bum back bump front butt man yeah exactly where's your fart come out your front bum or your back bum um no that was really good advice you gave though for that girl i like that i think that's really
Starting point is 00:16:07 lovely yeah watch me like not do take any of that advice myself when i am a parent but that's in my in my ideal situation that's the mum i'll be you love that yeah i think that's very really nice. Honesty and transparency. I like it. Okay, so I have an embarrassing story. Hello, hello, lovely ladies. I'm a big fan, love you all, yada, yada, yada. But seriously, I actually think you're doing amazing things to the world. Thank you. For the world, maybe not the world. Yeah. In our world. I have an embarrassing story to share. I'm usually pretty good at getting myself out of bad situations, but this was simply irredeemable. It's a tad long, but it's freaking worth a read.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I can promise you that. So for some context, I'm a model. My modeling agency sent me on a test shoot, which, if you don't know, is basically a collaboration shoot where no one gets paid, but everyone ends up with something that they can add to their portfolio. It was a small team, me, the makeup artist, the stylist and the photographer and all-female team, whoop. The stylist had saw some amazing items for me to wear, all designer and super fancy. We're talking Gucci, Prada, Dior. Oh, very fancy. Wow. Again, for those who don't know how it works, stylists usually either rent clothes or buy them and then return them straight after the shoot, as they've barely been worn and are too expensive to actually buy. To change into the outfits,
Starting point is 00:17:14 they made me a little enclosed area on the far side of the studio. Note that this was not a toilet or separate room. Essentially, it was just a corner behind some curtain. So no toilet, no sink, no paper. All was going well in the shoe until I entered the changing room and changed out of my third outfit, a lovely Gucci cohort of shorts on top. I took the shorts off to see a huge red stain in my thong,
Starting point is 00:17:36 which had leaked through into the designer shorts. My period had come early. So I am stuck in this corner with no facilities in sight with my vagina blood in this random girl's Gucci rental. Fuck. Oh my God. But seriously ladies, what the fucking fuck
Starting point is 00:17:52 do you do in this situation? Do you confess and hope she understands? Do you explain that your period is in her shorts and offer to pay for her outfit for the outfit? Do you try and sneak to the toilet to clean it but then have to hand it back wet?
Starting point is 00:18:05 Shamefully, I opted for none of the above. I handed it back with an innocent smile on my face as if I hadn't noticed. I felt awful, but I just couldn't face the embarrassment of telling her what had happened. She didn't notice at the time But no doubt when she attempted to return the item It would have been spotted and she wouldn't have been able to get her money back
Starting point is 00:18:18 To make it worse Remember it was a test shoot So it wasn't even like she'd been paid for the shoot To make matters even worse This happened halfway through the shoot So I had to spend another two hours thanking her And looking her in the eye While she continued to dress me and design her outfits
Starting point is 00:18:31 And while I had to keep running to the bathroom Three floors away To settle my paranoia that the tampon Times toilet paper combination I shoved down there Had not leaked any further Bless her! I can safely say that I did not thrive on this day. I've also not told a single person about this. I'm also aware I perhaps didn't handle it as best I could and the guilt is still very real,
Starting point is 00:18:51 but I hope you can share my utter mortification at how much of a dilemma I was in. You were in a horrible situation. A side note. Also, though, writing this has made me think about how much shame there still is surrounding periods. Like I'm sure at some point all women experienced their period during doing something weird or unexpected, so perhaps I should have felt more comfortable to explain the situation and help I find a solution. Still fucking tragic though oh bless her that's that's a lot
Starting point is 00:19:19 that's so much in a Gucci rental as well and it's like I don't know it's very like humble or like human it's very levelling to know that this happens to models too yeah you know what I mean like that's brutal that is so brutal
Starting point is 00:19:34 because I'm like that as well my period stinks up on me I don't really or I'm not very good at noticing the pre-menstrual signs so like I'll be a raging nightmare just nothing anything of it yeah like be in bed for three days and then get my period and be like oh okay weird that's crazy so I get that my period sneaks up on me too
Starting point is 00:19:58 that's really tough like that was shit time for it to sneak up on her though that's the fucking worst wearing Gucci shorts it's so unfair Gucci shorts must be very expensive as well yeah I mean like I don't know I don't I don't I don't with a single person that would wear or buy Gucci shorts. No, I have no idea how much they would cost, but a lot. I don't know. I don't know why it matters, but how long are the shorts are they
Starting point is 00:20:23 go down to like the knee? Are they like, or are they short? I'm going to Google Gucci shorts. I'm imagining them to be embellished and which is why it can't be washed properly. Gucci love cream. They do love cream, don't they? Everything's cream. Yeah. Oh, God. They do it on purpose, don't they? Yeah. Not good. No. No. No. I'm really sorry. That's really shit. And you probably didn't handle it the best,
Starting point is 00:20:46 but then also I wouldn't have handled it any better. I think I'd probably done the same thing. Yeah. Because it's so embarrassing to be like... Has your period ever come when it, like an embarrassing time? I don't think so because a bearer man I didn't have a period for six years. And then I ended up... I came straight, I got the coil removed and then started using natural cycle straight away.
Starting point is 00:21:06 So I kind of knew it was coming. Like I always had... Oh, I tell you one time, though. the first period I had after not having one for six years and we went to Dublin this time last year and it was the first time I'd had a period
Starting point is 00:21:21 and I was in a shop we were just back visiting Alex's home we were there for a little while and I was in the shop and it was like the most ridiculous baby shop I've ever been in and there was a rattle in the shape of two massive boobs and I was like what the fuck
Starting point is 00:21:38 and I was holding this rattle I was like what the fuck I think I took a photo. I was like, these are enormous. Like, this is ridiculous. Like, why has anybody made these? It was so bad. And then I literally, like, I just got like this pain and then just like felt liquid.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I was like, fuck. Like, because I know, you don't know when the coil's at, what's going to come. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, my God, this is so bad. And I literally, because I couldn't move, you know? And it's like, I knew it was bad. I was like, I can't move. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:05 And I like sent Alex, I needed a spa, which is like one of their local shop, like on the corner. I was like, run. Go! run and he called me and that was when it's we did it on my Instagram for so long everyone ripped the shit out of him because he went lemon or lime lemon or lime because he was trying to buy it was like lime lemon or lime I don't know
Starting point is 00:22:21 whatever the strongest one was like just help and it was actually really bad and we were meeting our friends Gina and Ross you know them yeah and we were late and I literally had to be like because I just couldn't I just couldn't function it was so bad and it went everywhere like it went doing my pants onto my jeans and we were like oh my god that's bad that's really bad it was so painful that's really bad yeah
Starting point is 00:22:40 And I had to get, oh God, they were so nice. I went into the pharmacy because the cramp was like the worth I've ever had. And they were like giving me these like pads to put on my tummy. There's like heating pads because I was so late for dinner. And I was just like crying and just blood everywhere. I was like, I didn't even have it in me to be embarrassed. I just like went to the woman. I was like, help me.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Like sending Alex, I didn't care who her. I was like, this is not good. This is a massacre. She's standing like cross-legged like trying to keep it in. It's the worst. It's the worst. brutal have you ever I don't think so I've never really had heavy periods I've always had light periods I haven't that was my first heavy one so I never really
Starting point is 00:23:22 Nelly London put on Instagram the day that she was at her trapeze class and she started bleeding really yeah and it's like that's pretty cool to share that yeah that is cool like love to see it yeah really like that I like to see this normalized yeah because people say it's gross people are like oh well you wouldn't talk about shit and it's like first of all there's literally a website called Rape My Pooh so we do talk about shit all the time men particularly like as men often comment on like
Starting point is 00:23:47 underneath you know women's posting and it's discussing you wouldn't talk about shit so why you're talking about periods and it's like well first of all they do but also it's a very different situation yes poo's pretty pretty gross it's all like waste but period is actually just like period yeah also if you're gonna watch jaws
Starting point is 00:24:05 and gladiator and like what like fucking apocalyptic now, then you can handle this. Exactly. Ro the blood and go. Yeah, Jesus Christ. Come on, you can see a bit of period blood. Also, it's the same thing that, like, if you have a nosebleed or you cut yourself.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Except there's no shame around nosebleeds, but there is a huge shame around periods. Because they come out of vaginas. And even among other women, like the poor girl with the Gucci shorts and she was just too scared to say it. And it's just like, this is nuts. I know. I'm looking a real rod for our own backs here. I know. Oh, bless her.
Starting point is 00:24:39 We are back from a little interlude, intermission, because, thank God we have this on camera. I'm like, she put her coffee cup up to her mouth and something happened. I don't know. The lid just fell off. The lid like popped off and it was honestly like a waterfall. Coffee just completely gushed all over her. You need to like slow-bow that.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I thought I was coming out of my nose because, you know, when you have a mouthful and then you start laughing, it's like, I'm going to choke to death if I can't swallow this quickly. I was like, I'd actually sit there and I'm like, swallow it, swallow it, swallow it. You were going to get class, I was like, I can't have cause to swallow it first. Yeah, a really high stake.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Why is choking so embarrassing? It is so embarrassing. I'm really sorry, because I know it's like a killer. No, no, yeah, no, yeah. It's very serious. Embarrassing and also could be fateful. Yes, I'm not going to say, I'm going to say, start this by saying not all chokes. But like, it's because I'm,
Starting point is 00:25:37 because if, you know, if you're a victim of choking or whatever. It's not funny. But it is, I remember, and my sister does not find this funny. And it's really probably not funny. My mum gets really angry with me that I found this funny as I did. I don't think this is going to be funny, but no, it's not going to be funny. But years back, she was eating a piece of beef. And half the beef went down. And the other half of the beef, you know, it's a bit straighty. Oh, no. And we were all just talking, it's not funny, but it is funny. We were all just talking for ages. And we just looked at Katia and she was literally at the end of the table with her fingers in their mouth, holding a piece of the beef going,
Starting point is 00:26:09 tears rolling down her face going, help me. Oh my God, help me. And she was like so red and we were like, oh my God, what? And she just kept going help. And we were like, with what? Like, we just didn't know what was wrong with her. She was like, abuse and crying. And everyone was like, oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:26:25 So scary. But she couldn't say like, help me. It was like, help me. Help me. But you know what? Terrified. It was absolutely terrifying. I've had such a hard time for laughing at her for that for like years.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And then last year, yeah, no, two years ago during COVID, I got a bit of salmon, salmon bone, like a big bit, stuck in one of my tonsils. And I was choking. I was fully choking. And then I started panicking because I was choking. And I was in the middle of nowhere and it was COVID. So it was like, don't go to hospitals or whatever. And I was like, I'm going to die.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Don't go to hospital. Yeah. I was like, I'm going to die. It was so bad. And what did everybody do? Laugh at you. They laughed, yeah. We had to get a pair of tweezers.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Oh my God. And fish it out. Yeah, because I was just choking. No pun intended. Yeah. And I said, I wanted Katty and my sister to do it because she's got a really. really steady hand, I'm weirdly steady. And she said no.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I was like, you little, you little C word. How, how mean? Yeah, probably calmer for, anyway. Yeah, eventually she came round because I was like, not good. In trouble. Yeah. And then we put the tweezers in the mouth and it made me throw up and then the bone came out. And when I collected it out, my sick. Wow, gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Gorgeous. Okay, I guess I told I put it in an envelope for ages. I love that. We open with farts. We close with sick, fishbone tonsill vomit. it. Very quickly, my embarrassing story of choking is not a typical choke, but I was at my friend's wedding and it was one of my best friends' weddings. She did a speech and it was super, like incredibly emotional, for personal reasons, like extremely emotional. And, you know, I was crying,
Starting point is 00:28:00 obviously. It doesn't take much. I was crying, but then I started to really cry and then I did a like sob, choke sob where my sob got stuck in my throat and it's completely silent and there are a couple, there are people crying for sure you know, just dabbing their tears and I'm like, like, nice wedding crying. Like this.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I like got stuck on a sob on a choke and he's the most mortifying fucking sound to make in front of everyone. And it'll be on the wedding video. Probably, probably. No doubt about it. So embarrassing. You know, oh horrible.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Why is choking so embarrassing? Even right now it's because you lose it. lose control of like your you can't even you can't even function because it's at the core of you I don't know you can't well because you can't breathe yeah it is just embarrassing it shouldn't be but it is yeah so oh my throat's all blocked like oh mortifying mortifying but also obviously we do take it seriously it's super seriously we do take choking seriously not all jokes for embarrassing yeah it was really Alex started choking the day and I and I find it funny because there's something wrong with me but then I have to like are you okay yeah yeah and then I'm like
Starting point is 00:29:05 And then he's still choking. Are you sure you're okay? And then he's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, ha, ha, wait. And you didn't want to do either stuff. It's a roller coaster and then you have to sit afterwards. Well, you're a psychopath. There's something wrong with me.
Starting point is 00:29:14 And there's something definitely wrong with you. I love watching people go down. Okay. I just love it. Yeah. It's so, there's something, there's something properly wrong. I'm actually scared about, like, having a kid because they go down all the time. Yeah, you're just going to be constantly pissing yourself.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Yeah, but it's because I was laughed at the whole way through. Yeah, yeah. Like, it makes it makes you tell. Yeah. You laugh so you don't cry. Character building. It is, yeah. It's probably not healthy from like a therapeutic standpoint.
Starting point is 00:29:41 No. You can psychoanalyze me and I'd say we've got some stuff to work on but... I follow this page and I think it's called like the sad raccoon or something and so funny. And just one was like a meme that was a picture of this raccoon like crying and it said like, I don't need any more character, character development or like character building. That's so funny. Anyway, we've tried shit for way too long. And M is literally soaking.
Starting point is 00:30:02 And M is literally soaking. A hand rail. So time to go. Time to go dryer off. Character building. It's character building. We will see you next Monday. As I said at the top of the episode,
