Hi everyone and welcome to our Thursday episode. I am so excited that this is a thing now. Thursdays are the chaos. No, I can't even say that because Mondays is fucking chaos too. But now the Should I Delete that podcast is a two-parter. We have our serious shit on Mondays, mostly serious. The more series of the shit on Mondays. And then on Thursdays, we've just kind of got this anarchy where we're going to read

our emails we've got our embarrassing stories we've got is it just me's we're going to have a little chat we're going to just i don't know what do we do we're going to chat for more shite basically we're going to chat shit we do it as we do what we do best yeah exactly make absolutely no sense and just spread misinformation basically and we're really really really happy that you're here so thank you for coming back and welcome to i fucking love a thursday i'm absolutely gas so we've decided to do this and you know what i have to eat my words because at the beginning you suggested that we did two episodes a week and I was like absolutely not no way terrible idea blah blah blah blah blah blah and then like three months later I'm like so I'm not oh yeah um so I'll leave my word

and now it's happening I kept the told you so to myself don't worry oh you can say it I love it except now I didn't change my mind I just I think it's so fun so I don't mind being told so I just love like this part is just so good for me the is it just I love it and so I'm excited that it gets to stand alone and like yeah people can it gives it it gives a chance to like breathe and have its own space so I'm really pleased um good me too I've got a really I've got a really serious is it just makes me off with and it's something that I've been thinking about a lot recently right because I don't know you know when people talk about like the apocalypse and they're like what would you do if there was an apocalypse would you go to the basement

would you run up a hill would you find a bazooka would you get your dog and dig a hole Would you, like, are you stocking loads of food? You know, there's people in America that are, like, packed back to stock foods and, like, make bomb shelters and shit. And then there's like, what would you do? There was a zombie invasion. And you always come up with something, like, absolute bullshit thing. Like, ah, well, I'd go to an island in a minute.

You haven't got time to go to an island in the middle. And let's be realistic. And for some reason, it keeps coming up. You know, maybe it's the threat of the nuclear shite that's happening in the world. And then Alex said it in the name, we were getting on the boat. And he was like, what would you do if, zombies came. Would you get on the boat? I was like, you know what?

this is something that I feel quite strongly but I just need to know if it's just me I think at the first sign of the apocalypse I'd just be like, nope take me Oh yeah I don't think I'd fight I don't think I'd run

I don't think I'd struggle I can't think of any situation that I wouldn't just want to die the things I like in my life are like one al-days, my comfortable bed like clean sheet

Like, you know, the things that I like would all be taken and there would be no point to life as far as I see it. But I just think, like, do people worry about an apocalypse? Is that like a genuine concern? Really? Yeah, if you talk to my sister about it for more than like two or three minutes, she cries, it's not great. But like, it's an apocalypse.

So that means the entire world dies, right? Well, yes. Or like, if there's an apocalyptic situation. So, like, I mean, to be fair, like, what's going on with, like, the nuclear shit? I'd say that's fairly apocalyptic. but you know like you can live like post-apocalypse like I'm not saying like you need to your eye

but I'm saying like I am legend 28 days later that kind of thing like where it's like it's pretty fucking bad but then like maybe like I don't know like seven people in every borough survive okay see that I find quite concerning because like if I know that everyone's gonna die the entire world's gonna die I just think like fuck it

like why would I be worried about that because we're all gone like who cares whatever like you know rest in peace all of us but if if like some people are going to survive I don't like that why are we talking about this now I feel sick I don't know I just don't think it would be me I just don't think I'd want to be one of the ones that survived that's all I'm saying like lord of the fly shit it's just not for me I like my life exactly as it is and I think that if you know like if things are going to get tough I'm just not interested I think the problem in me would be I freeze in a in a in a panicked situation I freeze in an emergency which is very very bad and not a good trait so I don't think I'm I'd do anything. I think I would just stand there and be like, just take me just because I can't, I don't know what else to do. So, maybe I would fight. I'm kind of scrappy. Maybe I'd be

all right. But in my head, I'm just like, no, everyone else is making these plans. My mom was really going through it the day. She's like, well, what would we do? And blah, blah, blah. And I was just like, I think just count me out. I don't think I'm involved. I just think I'd, I would just get into bed under the duvet and just be like, whatever happens happens. I just feel embarrassing to try so hard as well. Like, I don't like to try that hard at anything. I just, you know, I think I just get embarrassed. I'd be like, I've got it's a bit tragic. Yeah.

Try hard, isn't she? Yeah, and imagine if you try really hard and then you stay alive and then everyone around you who saw you try so hard, stays alive too. And then like, that's awkward, isn't it? And they didn't even try that hard. They just, like, survived. So. And you've, like, pushed them all out the way to get, like, the only life jacket.

Yeah. Right, thanks him. So I've probably put, like, the fear of death into those people that are, like, worried about the apocalypse. And I apologize for that. As I was saying it. I was like, this is probably. horrible thing but I just yeah I just think my will to live is like my will to live the life I

live and I don't think I've got much of a will to live any other kind of life so you like your comforts basically you like your home comforts like oh you'd be like a cockroach you know like you could survive and it'd be like in some like nuclear wasteland or whatever and it's just like I've just be like hmm I don't know no I don't fancy the sound sound of that actually but life would be simple, wouldn't it? No, no, no, no. If everything was radioactive, there was no food, there was no water, everybody you loved was dead, no, like everything's gone, everything on the, nothing simple about that.

I mean, I mean, yes, okay, no, but right, hang on, okay. So you don't have a phone, you don't have a laptop, you don't have like a million things to charge every night, you don't, you don't, okay, okay, well, but, you know, You don't have your husband. Oh, okay. Okay, I'm thinking of a very different situation. No, no, no, no. It's I am legend.

Everything's fucking gone. I don't know what that is. But not if the people weren't around me. Oh my God, no. But if the people were around me, I feel like. It's like the walking dead. Imagine the walking dead. You see that?

No. You seem 28 weeks later? No. No. You are not going to visualize this in the way that I need you to. No, I'm not getting it. Either, everybody's dead or everybody's like. going to eat you because they're a zombie oh then i'd just be like just if it's going to happen

just eat me just do it quick go for it just eat me please eat me i just can't deal with this anxiety you just eat me while we've been chatting i've just had a text from alick saying a lizard just ran up my leg capital letters and lots of exclamation oh cute that's really cute i'm that nice yeah look at him at one with nature he's not chilled about that but um should we get onto the real is it just me he's not the like trauma Yeah. I love that's how we started off. Great. It's ours. Okay, so I've got an email.

Hi, everyone. She's named everyone. Brilliant. First of all, I have to say, love the pod. Been listening since day one here in Oz. Oh my God, we've got a full, we've got a listener in Australia. That's really cool. And it brings all the laughter, joy and empowerment to my Mondays. Oh, thanks, babe. And Thursdays now too.

And Thursdays. You're welcome. Firstly, I'm sorry. I thought this was going to be a short one, but I got carried away, so strap in. Context to this message comes from an influencer that I've been following for years. Since I've been following them, their content has changed from fitness to more lifestyle. They don't track food and preach exercise for feeling good and mental health. This was great for me, as my mindset did the same as I went into recovery from an eating disorder, sorry. But I've noticed some of the titles of videos and other projects they're engaging with lately on the lead-up to their wedding.

Now have the titles getting back on track or wedding prep. and while they reinforce that they're doing it to feel good or feel their best, they still engage with body checking, adding sprints to an already gruelling workout or wearing their Fitbit to monitor steps, even stating that they have walked around the kitchen island at the end of the day just to reach the 10,000. They rebut any comment that exercise is motivated by anything but feeling good, but to me, this just reeks of diet culture and a perpetuation that thin is the ideal.

It all seems very wedshed. Because I'm hypersensitive to this kind of talk, it really bothers me that they feel the need to deny the fact that they're not perpetuating any thin ideals or fat phobia. But because of how strong their messaging is, I can see other people just thinking this is normal and healthy and not diet culture or thin-orientated, and that in capitals bothers the fric out of me. Now, is it just me or is diet culture reaching new levels of sneakiness? Could it be that a lot of people are subscribing to or even preaching diet culture ideas without knowing? A hundred percent people are doing it without knowing. I think, so, okay,

I think there's a few things to this. I think it is really hurtful. difficult when you're looking at something that you know is damaging, that you know is dangerous, that you know is perpetuating a rhetoric that is going to harm people. And it must be difficult when you look at somebody who you relate to, do something that you don't agree with. And that whether or not you're right, which in our opinion, we would say yes, you're right, like to perpetuate diet culture is a bad thing. It is difficult when I think you're watching somebody do something that you know is damaging but you also have it from the personal perspective of like this is hurting me because of my shit as well so obviously you take it more personally i'm not saying that's a bad thing i'm

just saying that's how social media works so it's a bit difficult because i think although like this is a bad thing i think unfortunately the only thing you can do about it is probably to mute or unfollow this creator and i don't know if you've got other ideas on it because i think unfortunately although she may be wrong she doesn't owe you anything and she doesn't owe us anything and she has this responsibility to herself and yes to her followers but she she ultimately has to be the judge of what's right in that case and it's just really difficult and I find it really hurtful as well when you see someone who you respect kind of like perpetuating something that you know is

damaging it's like oh please don't do this but then you actually say with you're like well what can I do beyond protecting myself and I think that's kind of what we have to get to with social media is it's like there is going to be a particular diet culture there's going to be damaging shit all over the place and forever and people it sounds like this woman has fallen victim of it again

which is difficult for her in South her particularly if she did well and has now slipped back and she's obviously on her own journey and going through her own shit and I think all that's going to happen and it's going to happen everywhere it's going to happen to her it's going to happen everywhere

and the realistic route that we have to take is protecting ourselves from the things that trigger us. Right, exactly. The power is in our hands. And I know that can be difficult when you, I mean, a lot of us feel like we know the people that we follow. And especially if we admire them, to see a shift into something that doesn't then align with our values or our morals is really jarring. And the temptation is to say something or to get your point across. But you're right at the end of the day. you know, it's, the power is, is in our hands to get, take ourselves out of the situation and, you know, possibly have compassion for this person because weddings are really triggering as well, you know, they are, I mean, you know, M, like, there's a lot of talk around losing weight for the wedding and having, you know, looking perfect for your wedding and it can be

very triggering and it sounds like, I don't know if this is the case, but it sounds like that's fed into this slip back into diet culture for her so i think if you can engage compassion for her unfollow her you know get her out of your feed so that you don't have to deal with it because you don't need to the diet culture you can mute her if you don't because i i personally hate unfollowing people because i always feel like it's like oh it's not their fault yeah so i think muting's a nice option yeah you can mute her and then she will never appear for you but she just doesn't know you've unfollowed her or or whatever but um yeah the the the the power is is in your hands and then I do you know what I guess I find I find this difficult and I think

I find this confronting because that is the opinion I have is to you know unfollow her remove her from your life and leave it be because yes she doesn't owe you anything but then I guess what's confusing then is that a lot of what I do sort of calls out people who perpetuate diet culture so i guess this is quite confusing for me because it feels important for me to call that stuff out which is why i do it so i don't know maybe i haven't quite but i think you i think you have obviously i don't think any of us have quite like got our heads about like what's right and what's wrong i think something to consider as well is that we might perceive somebody as being on the right track and doing everything perfectly and we'd look at someone and be like

good for them they've denounced diet culture they've done this and this and this and this and they're now and they and I relate to them because and then they do one thing a different thing because humans do a multitude of things every every single day and we're like fuck well well riddle me confused because I thought she was better than that and I thought this and I thought this and and actually maybe she's been struggling with this a whole time maybe that's been maybe maybe maybe there's so many maybe we don't know we don't know for sure anything about these people so I think like to project a lot of our own like well they're better than this now and they should be above this and then when they fall short it's actually really hard for them because this person is probably

falling short of our expectations of them if we put our expectations on people that they must be perfect they've denounced diet gods if they're better than this now then they do something perceived to be wrong then they fall and it's like this is they don't know they didn't know that they were put up there in the first place yeah so i don't know like i think basically what you said at the end there about it being complicated you know diet culture getting everywhere I think that's what we have to remember. And Al said it with compassion. Like, yeah, like, we do need to call this stuff out on a mass level, on a societal level,

because it is toxic and it is poisonous and it is hurting people. And it might just be hurting this person as well. And so I think maybe having a bit of compassion for them. I think it's difficult. I think an important thing to remember about, like, people who publicly denounce diet culture and call it out and speak about it, like, yes, they know a lot about diet culture and they, you know, have to a certain extent rid their lives of diet culture, but they still live in the same diet culture-ridden world that you do as well.

Yeah, and also the reason that most people come to denouncing diet culture is because they've had an unhealthy relationship with food or with diet culture or with exercise at some point in their lives. A person who's had a perfectly healthy relationship with food and exercise doesn't one day stand up and start fighting against a system that damaged them because they're not damaged. fact is, is the people that are fighting most injustices, but particularly this is our space so we can talk about it with more knowledge, is we came to this, forgive me, Al, for saying this

about you, we came to fight this because we were damaged and we were hurt by it. So now we're fighting it. Yeah. So everybody that stands up to fight against it has been hurt by it first. And I think that's something that's really critical to remember when we think somebody's done something wrong is that if they've ever, you know, to accuse someone of hypocrisy, and that's the reason why a lot of people don't speak out because they're so scared of being accused of being a hypocrite but I think we have to remember why everybody started on this journey

and it's probably for the same reason as they have been as damaged if not more damage or not that there's a level of damage whatever everybody's been hurt by it and that is it's often the people who have been most damaged by diet culture that are the ones to stand up and fight it so that's something well's remembering as well you can do as much healing on yourself as you want

you can you can practice self-love until there's no more self-love left to practice. And you can work on changing your mindset so, so much. But at the end of the day, we live in a world where that mindset is not reflected back at us. So you have to take that into consideration, I think, and realize that the people that we follow and the voices in this space or whatever space,

like you can't put them on this pedestal. and expect them to behave and perform exactly, you know, in the most perfect, like impeccable manner because it's just not realistic. I'm not saying that this is what that girl is doing. I think we've moved on to something a little bit different, probably onto the fact that a lot of us still have diet culture in our lives in some capacity.

I don't think it ever goes away. I think the... Well, it can't. You teach and you have to just keep fighting it. Yeah. And the fights get easy. and easier and it comes more naturally to you to stop describing foods as good or bad or stop feeling the need to, but you know some people's diet culture, and I put that in inverted

commas, it's other people's health and I put that in inverted commas. We all have a different perception, you know, somebody counting their steps, for me personally, that's not a triggering thing for me at all, but I know for a lot of people it is. And so I'm a bit of a, like, I love walking. So when I like hit like 30,000 or whatever in a day, I'm like, fucking A, look at my feet they're on fire and you know it's it's no biggie for me at all but I know it is a biggie for other people so sometimes if I ever mentioned that on Instagram we're like god I'm bushed I walked so far today people look that's very triggering and I'm like oh god sorry I didn't think about that and you just you know we all have our different buttons and we

all have our different little fights and and I think that's important to remember as well 100% but in answer to your question yes diet culture is sneaky um which is why Alex has written a very helpful book to help you do it with just news issues. It's available next week. Very exciting. You can get it everywhere. It's number two on Amazon today. Oh,

thank you. Thanks for the plug. I'll wire you 40 quid. Random number 40. And also we don't wire anymore, do we? We just transfer. Okay, I've got it just me and actually I think this came up in the episode of money. Is it just me?

Does anyone else panic when someone asked? some of the question and go along with what they're saying even if it isn't true. As an example, I went into a workplace yesterday and was saying hello to an old colleague. He said, are you still working at the council? No, I've not worked at the council for over eight years, but for some reason I panicked and said yes. He asked which department? I panicked and said the same department, but a different team. I don't explain that they were making cutbacks.

He'll know it's been in the local press. So my brain was thinking ahead to what other questions he might ask me. Meanwhile, a tiny bit of my brain was quietly saying, um, hello. You don't work there. Why are you doing this? FML so awkward. Now I'm thinking I can't go there for a while and go into it again. I love that so much. Oh my God. I love that. And 100% sometimes like my brain just doesn't work quick enough. So when someone's asking me a question, I'm just like, yeah. And then suddenly you realize that the answer wasn't yeah, but yeah, it just goes too far. And then you're like,

how can I at this point go back and be like, actually, that question that you asked me five minutes ago is actually no. And therefore, this conversation is redundant. question. No, yeah, I'm lying to you. I'm sitting, I'm lying. No, I do it sometimes, and I'll do it really quick then. I don't know why I just said that. It's completely not the right answer. Like sometimes, you know, even when someone's like, how are you? And I'm like, I'm fine. I don't know why I said that. I'm not fine. I'm, I'm, I was fully apart. Everything's right. Do you know what I do a lot, which I hate, I hate that I do this, but I ask questions and I don't listen to the answers. I know, I hate that.

I know, I hate that. Said my podcast host of five months. No, no, not on the podcast. Not, not in, like, It's more in like relaxed situations where it doesn't matter. Like with Dave, I'll be like, what time is, you know, do dark coming, whatever. And he'll say it. And then I'll be like, sorry, I didn't listen to you when I asked. And he'll say, you know, he'll say two o'clock again. And then two minutes later, I'm like, I'm so sorry. I didn't listen again.

And then like an hour later, I'm like, don't kill me. But what time is it? Do you do that? It's so annoying. Yeah, I think that's being in a relationship. And it's not a lack of interest. Like, I want to know. But I ask the question.

And then I just zone out. And then I'm like, oh, fuck. I get it. I get it and I go to the next thing mentally so I'm way ahead of that old question boring like I'm like

I'm already thinking about what I'm going to cook them or whatever what little like pithy expression and what cute little magnet I might see on my way into the fridge as I go and get them and go and hogs off the wine yeah I do that

I'm trying to think of examples but I know I've lied but sometimes I just lie sometimes I just think like when I meet people I always have to go to go to this cocktail party all the time and I had to go

with my whole family actually earlier this year and we just had this ridiculous day where we were like everyone I went on holiday with earlier this year and we just were like what should we say we do like what shall we say we do?

I love that and it's like we all just had this like great what did I say? What did you say? I was like I'm just still us on the PR team for mosquitoes they're just really undergoing

a rebound like the bigger virus malaria it was really bad for them like they've just had a really hard rep recently but like we're just trying to like rechannel our energy and just kind of like

get back to the drawing board get excited again get everybody like back on side because it's just been it's just been a really bad few decades from this heat so like I was like I was like heading up the R team for the that is so good did you say that to anyone it was really annoying the fucking party got cancelled because of coronavirus made a whole thing my brother said he worked at the Cotswold wildlife park as a sloth as a as a sloth trainer oh my god sloths need training in absolutely brilliant okay yeah it's so good my sister said she was going to be a um A proof, a case, a case, proof, no, I can't report, she, it was a really intense.

It was, obviously, it was catty, it had to be really intense. I'm trying to remember what Alex said he'd do. It was the whole thing. So, yeah, and I kind of get the urge to do that sometimes. But then I think, oh my God, I've had the urge to do this. Maybe other people have had the urge to do this. So sometimes when I meet people, I'm like, I'm like, I'm a lawyer. I'm a criminal lawyer.

I'm like, interesting. I've never thought of that. Prove it. I'd like to see your degree certificate. I don't know. What's a criminal? Oh, God. I don't know. What did they get?

I've never thought about that, but that's... Doctorate. I don't know. No, not doctorate. Next week, I'm going to come with what I would do. I need time to think. I'm not good at the spot, but... So give me some time. I'm going to come with something. I'll ask the gang what they were all doing as well. Yes. Yes. I like that. Okay, I have an embarrassing story.

Hit me. You know what it had to be. My favorite? It's poo. Oh, God's sake. Oh, God's sake. We didn't even mention it once on Monday. Not even one fucking nugget was mentioned. So today,

We're going to wreck you. Don't say nugget. Don't say nugget when we're talking about poo. Well, no, nugget of poo. Go on, hit me, hit me. Oh, are you going to be sick? No, I'm all right. I've rallied. Okay, I'm just going to read the little front bit out because she's observed with the podcast and if anything that gets her out of the bed and to the gym on a Monday morning. Oh. Oh. I'm putting PT in my bio. I'm putting PT. I'm putting PT in the personal trainer. Um, so here goes. First of all, is it just me that gets the most intense need to poo when hung over?

No, that's why they call them the Alco Poos for. My, yeah, really put my sister on blast today, but yeah, the Alco Poos are, they're real babes. Um, she says, I hope not. Anyway, I'd been away for a night with friends, drank far too much and was suffering big time the next day. Fish and chips and a beach walk were on order. We went the fish and chip shop, more like a restaurant, quite fancy for context, and I had a sudden urge.

It's okay, I thought. I'm right next to the loo. What can go wrong? Well, how wrong was I? I relieved my bowels from their hungover sadness, flushed the loo, went to wash my hands in the same cubicle as the toilet, turned round and was horrified. Oh no. The toilet had blocked. The poo had broken up and the water was rising rapidly. I had no idea what to do. I could hear people waiting outside for the toilet and my panic was intensifying. I tried the toilet brush, but that just made it worse, much like the Webber Spoon's incident referred to last week. In the end, all I could do was closed the toilet lid.

I blew my nose really loudly, scuttled out of the toilet, quickly said in the queue, oh, I just went in to blow my nose. Obviously they knew it was me. I ate my fish and chips and shame and made a quick exit from the restaurant without admitting to my friends what had occurred behind the closed doors.

Anyway, I've just thought of a silicon toothbrush. Thanks, no, not toothbrush, toilet brush. Thanks for the advice, Em, keep doing what you're doing. Please keep me anonymous. I die. You know, it's activated my gag reflex. it's given me so much compassion. So, you know, whenever you go into a public loo

and you just see something rank and you're like, oh, you did this, the boo, like shame. I don't feel that anymore. I just feel sadness for the person that did it. I'm like, you poor little bastard, are you, are you okay? Because this is not good.

This is brought up and is it just me for me, right? So when I go into a loo and it smells bad, right? And it's obviously, someone's had a poo before me. so when I then when I then leave the toilet like I feel compelled to say that wasn't me which is exactly what you would say if it was me but I'm always like oh it stinks in there because I'm like no it wasn't me I need you to know that was not me I completely get that I completely get that but I'm also really aware of the fact that nothing I do will make it look like it wasn't me like if you pull like a little like oop face

people will be like, if you, if you're like, that someone else did that, that's exactly what you, oh, I'll tell you what, this, this actually reminds me of something that my granddad, my mum's dad used to do. He said once, my, um, he was, they were at a fancy dinner and he did a big fart and he just looked at my granny and went, don't worry, Mary, tell them it was me. And she was like, but it was you. And he's like, that's the spirit, keep it up. I love that. So good news. Isn't it?

It's a very convincing, well done. Yeah, so good. But yeah, I'm the same as you. I don't know how to get out of that situation. If I go into a... But I'm like a sniffer dog. Honestly, another backup job for me. Sniffer dog.

I'd be fantastic. Put me at Heathrow. I'll find you cocaine. No drama. My sense to smell is fast. fantastic. It's too good. I go into a thing. I happened at the airport the other day. I went into the middle. I was like, it's so bad. Sorry, I'm getting you know what. That's reminded me of something. That should have been my bad. At your wedding, right? So I rented a dress for the

first time, which I loved, beautiful dress. But I swear it had not been washed properly. Or maybe it's just been worn like too many times. And I put it on and I was like, oh my God, I can smell something so I was until I got a bit drunk I was paranoid the entire day I was in the toilet like every 15 minutes spraying more deodorant like I was too scared to lift my arms up it was oh I get

such a fear about people smelling me and I'm always just convinced that I smell so I'm the same I'm such a but where did I put it on at the wedding so much because it's like if the bride stinks it's just rancet and I hate smelling

hate smelling I hate smelling Yeah, I get on really well with it But the wild, I've got on there The wild deodorant It's so good Because it's like It actively smells of something good So I always know that I've still got it on

Do you know what I mean? Sometimes when you put a deodorant That doesn't smell of anything You're like, oh God, do I? Do I smell? Because you can't tell But if you've got a deodorant that's like Fragranced on

Then I can still smell that And I'm like, okay, I'm cool Yeah You know what I mean? Because that's the level of my paranoia Okay, but then there's a panic of like You just can't smell yourself but like other people could smell you

and everyone's talking about you and you just don't know I promise Al I don't think you smell I've never talked about you behind you back for smelling I talked about you for loads of other shit yeah I called me for everything but never how bad you smell yeah I'm like she's a she's a fucking meth

of a woman because she does smell good actually people do smell that you smell like people say that you smell nice I hear the rumours people talk behind you back about how good you smell do you know what's really weird when I had COVID and I lost my smell and tased afterwards like I my own smell smelt disgusting

like actually like it changed how I smell it was so weird it was so weird Anywho that I think brings us to the end

this little Thursday segment Is it just me? Is it just me? Oh yeah I think we need a new jingle We do We do need a new jingle However in true fashion

We are not organised enough To get one to you for this week However No And possibly not next week either But jungle Jungle, jingle We'll make a jungle

We'll make a jungle We're going to make an ecosystem, it's going to be fucking stunning. We're going to have bees. We're going to have flies. We're going to have crickets, butterflies, trees, leaves. You're great. You're too much of a big thinker. It stresses me out, okay? It's too much, um, it's too much.

I was just thinking of some trees, some palm trees, and then you add in all these, all these animals and bees and insects and Jesus, it's just, it's too much for my little brain. I'm a dreamer. I'm a dreamer. I'm a dreamer. What can he say? Um, but a jingle is coming. A bottle of wine. I feel like I should have said that like, right into this recording. I've been drinking consistently since my wedding.

Cut breakfast, lunch, lunch, dinner and every point in between. As you should, enjoy yourself. As I said to you, I would have had a drink with you, but I'm not drinking ever again after your wedding. So that's that. Never. Never. Yeah. Never. Never.

Yeah. Never enough is how that song finishes. I don't believe. I think you're absolutely full of shit. That was good. Okay, well, I personally love doing this because I've missed you. Oh my God, I miss you. And then we are back.

Yes. And then we are back. Yes. We've got a big meeting with Dave. I'm excited for that. We have. Dave who enjoys himself at weddings. Who fucking knew?

Who knew? Who knew? And yeah, we will be back next Monday at, oh my God, next Monday's guest I'm fucking gasped for. Me too. Yeah, so fun. It's actually, which means you've got two doses of comedy next week, not the weird comedians, but basically the last day episode is funny.

Oh, God, I just did a little burp. I loved it. I'm going to go, because you know what I need? I need more wine. You need a drink. I'm going out for sushi, babes. I've got to go. Oh, my God.
