Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello I'm starting this Thursday's episode with something contextual only to you and I But that Oh hi boo I thought she was in here So earlier today Alex and I were talking about how my sister has these sleep paralysis situations
Starting point is 00:00:29 like sleep demons, whatever it's called. Like, if you can hear tip-tap or your ramp, but it's booer, she's busy. Yeah, Katz has these, like, night terrors, basically, like super sound awful. Anyway, there was this really random situation that came up today that I'd forgotten about that a few years ago, this random woman came into my mum's house and was like, oh, you seem kind of tired, to Katia. And it was just her and cat, which is so appropriate.
Starting point is 00:00:55 This is exactly the sort of thing that would happen at my mum's house, to Katia. And Kat was like, yeah, I have these night terrors. And this woman was like, oh, I know the person that you need to see. I'll book your consultation. And this woman put and paid for a consultation with this like night terror specialist, right? So Kat is like, okay. And the woman asks her to convey her situation over email. So Kat writes about what's happening over email.
Starting point is 00:01:23 And this woman replies. And I haven't read you the reply. I haven't read you the reply yet, Alex. But I can understand why your scepticism of astrology exists when this sort of thing is paid for. Hi, Katia. Thanks for contacting. It sounds to me like you have a black hole or porcel in the home.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I have experienced similar myself and seen out of the places too. Let's see. So it says there is a black hole opened by occulent practices around time when it was first built. The black hole attaches to you. at night. Oh, lovely. In aura, on ethoric level, layer closest to body. Within that layer is a spirit that has come from the home.
Starting point is 00:02:07 There is also a curse with that, angry spirit. Kind of thinks it owns you, spirit slavery curse. Contract keeping it there to stop angelic help, etc. It's the etc. For me, it's like, what could that possibly? Except a raw, what? Literally. There was also another spirit attached on your celestial layer of all.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Orra, angry too. Oh. Let me know how you sleep and what happens and we'll go from there. I have shut that hole up. Thanks. Wow. I'll shut it. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:02:40 One email. Can I ask how much was this consultation? I think I have 60 pounds in my head, but it might have been 160. Gobsmacked. Gobsmatched. Speechless. And the best thing about that is they never communicated on the phone. This person never came to the house.
Starting point is 00:02:57 She read one email. Yeah, and shut the hole. Like, she didn't even need to, she didn't even need to ask the address. She didn't even need to be like, where do you live? Where's your room? No, no, no. She just felt it. Oh, Katia.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Okay. Angry spirit, bad, etc. So she shut the portal. Yeah. And did Katia's sleep paralysis, sleep demons, did they go? No. Oh, my God, I'm so stunned. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Honestly, I thought that, like, that sounds like the most professional exorcism I've ever heard. I'm just, I can't believe they're still there. I know. I just think there's so much money to be made in this world. There is so much easy money to be made. I know, literally. I am happy to close imaginary portals for money. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Does someone tell me how? Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. I just thought I'd bring the second half of that to your ears, guys. Okay. Love that. I know. And I don't help myself.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Like, I'm really trying to sway Alex round to, like, astrology and believing in all this shit. And then I'm like, tell of these stories. I'm like, oh, why? You're not furthering your cause, let's say. I'm not. So, okay, we're breaking with tradition. Actually, there is no tradition with our podcast, so never mind. But I also have something a bit random for you for this episode.
Starting point is 00:04:13 So someone has DM'd me, someone called IFA. And she said, okay, so we have a little riddle slash puzzle for you and M. What do you think this is? And I think this is a clue. Nigella has probably said it at some point. Mikulavi. surely not we'll be so impressed if you can figure it out
Starting point is 00:04:33 love from me and my two besties who think you and Emma are besties oh oh love for her Al's got a strict no new friend rule but I'm in yeah so I'm going to play it I actually haven't played it yet or at least not for a while so I don't know
Starting point is 00:04:47 so it could bring Mike her or her friend from her and her friends and the clue is that Nigella's probably said it at some point yes okay that would be too obvious from microawee, surely. Let's see. Okay, ready?
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah, I hate riddles. Turn my... I never feel more stupid. Like, I lit... It makes me... The only time I feel more stupid is when I'm trying to do a crossword. A cryptic one.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yes, absolutely no way. My mum's tried to see each me so many times. Yeah. I don't... No, never. My mum's so good at the moment. It's so upsetting. My brain works in the very, like,
Starting point is 00:05:20 typical way that catches everyone out in a riddle, you know? Your brain works in the way that catches everyone out in a riddle. You know, the way that riddles catch people out because your brain has this typical way where it just like plods along on autopilot like that's my brain. Oh, I see. You're on autopilot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I'm not, don't think outside of the box. Anyway, let's listen. Let's see if we can get it. Free chavacadu.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Free chavacadu. Free chavacadu. Free chavacadu. Is it Irish? Can I face-time Alex and see if that's an Irish thing? I'm going to face-time Alex. Okay, I'm DMing her and saying Can you know? I might, yeah. Okay, hang on, I'm just DMing her and saying, can we have a clue? Wait, I'm FaceTiming Alex. Can we say it again?
Starting point is 00:06:08 I think they're pranking you, guys. Do you think? So these aren't on your best friends? You ready? Free Shavakadoo. Is it Irish? No. Okay, I'll let this Irish person go.

Starting point is 00:06:52 It's a gel taco. They got a new thing called for show, free, free. Shavakado. What's happening? Daisy got it. Okay. Free shavakado. Is this because we're...
Starting point is 00:07:05 I don't know how to give... Okay, how do I... Is this because of something we've done? Okay. Ask me, does Dave have a bicycle? Does Dave have a bicycle? No, but he does have a car do.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Come on, that is so good. Free Shavakado. He does. He does have a car, though. He does have a car, though. He does have a car, though. Do you get it? He doesn't have a bicycle, but he does have a car. Are you saying avocado or a car do, like the shopping place, or a car though? He does have a car though, but also, I'm saying avocado. Free Chevacca, though. Free. So spell it out in your head. I have no idea. To be fair, I wouldn't get this if I hadn't just go with it.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Shavak I forgot your dyslexic This is terrible I was trying to picture all the words in my head I've got a pen next door Free shavats Right write it on your phone

Starting point is 00:08:36 Get to Del Taco. They got a new thing called Free chavacadoo. Free chavacadoo. Oh, free chavacado. Fresh avocado. Oh my God, I'm so stupid. See, this is why I hate
Starting point is 00:08:50 I hate riddles. If I had so thick. Typed it into Google, I would not. Never. Not in 5,000 years, would I have got that? Also, I spelt free, I spelled it so wrong. I don't even want to talk about it. I still love that you, actually that sounds like I'm just being mean,
Starting point is 00:09:10 but that you type wretch as wretch. Oh, I know. When I was trying to document my sleep wretches and I spelt the wrong wretch. I mean, honestly, my spelling was, like, I'm okay with them. I've made my peace with them now. Well, you are dyslexic. Yeah, so I feel like I grant myself this forgiveness. But my spelling mistakes absolutely kill me.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Like sometimes when I read them back, I'm like, oh, I mean, I did it bad. I think I told you when I was trying to read the word ethereal. And I kept saying it at home. Do I tell you, Alex said this as well, he kept, we're talking about, and this must be, it must be an Irish thing. Because there's a few words that sometimes it just come out of nowhere. I'm like the fuck and he did it with them
Starting point is 00:09:55 and he kept turning to tell us about this new film we all had to watch and Alex never chooses the film at my house I don't know why the hierarchy's just never been in his favour
Starting point is 00:10:02 and everybody chooses the film before him and this one time he was like I really want to watch this film Anhalation and we're all like oh my God what's that about
Starting point is 00:10:10 and he was like and we never heard of it it's like annihilation yeah it's just like it's about this it's got this guy in it and like
Starting point is 00:10:15 annihilation and we're all of this stuff and then after a while it was just like we went and sat down and it was like annihilation did he think it was a woman
Starting point is 00:10:22 called Anhalation I have no idea Mrs. Hallation Yeah Hi, I'm Anne Halation and Halation It's so great
Starting point is 00:10:33 That's cute That's so adorable They say it with aluminum as well Aluminum Yeah Aluminum I think it's fun
Starting point is 00:10:40 Keep it one on the toes My favourite is still Petty stall Because it just makes sense He makes so much sense The best ones are the one That just makes sense Yeah my spelling
Starting point is 00:10:50 But I've got to What did I do? Hang on I need to find this. I was texting my best friend the other day. Oh, here. So don't know what your plan is tomorrow, but I can drive you to lunch if you'd like.
Starting point is 00:11:00 She said, perfect. Then we can have a catch up. I said, Fabio, miss you, and I want to see your new hair. And she said, that's great. Don't get too excited. I just tried this new memory form product, which is supposed to make it less frizzy.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I haven't tested it yet, so we'll see. If so, great invention. And I replied, saying, okay, that's cool. I need that. Yes, be our word that I can't spell that Bikinta the G and is a country pig
Starting point is 00:11:23 I could not work out how to guinea. Oh, B or our Yeah, I was basically like be our word that I can't spell that the Kins of the G and is a country pig and she just replied being like, Guinea question mark. I couldn't even get auto-correct
Starting point is 00:11:40 close enough. I was like, and I knew that there was some fun twists and turns. I knew there were a lot of vowels. I think all the vowels barrow. It is. All the vowels barrow. Wow. And I knew they were in there, but fuck knows what order. And I was really stressing out, trying to get them all in. But, yeah, honestly, I think if you go into any of my WhatsApp and type the word,
Starting point is 00:12:02 I'm just going to do it in another one, and type in the word autocorrect. It's me going, sorry, I couldn't get autocorrect close enough. So I have to voice note you the word that I mean. How would you guess it, Guinea? Like, what would you guess it as? This is the, and I've just read it now, so I know how it is. Okay. But I think this was how.
Starting point is 00:12:21 this is where I go wrong because I get really panicked with a GIN sound. But then I shouldn't because Guinness and I know how to spell Guinness because I can see it written everywhere. G-U-I. Yeah, Guinness. Yeah. Maybe Guinea I'd have put an I-E for. Who's to know? Do you know what's been bothering me since we talked about it?
Starting point is 00:12:41 What? I couldn't get my head around it and I've ever have eventually. You know how I say nearly? Neerly. Nearly. How do you say it? Nearly. And I say it nearly.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, I think you say it because of Dave. Because he's from Lancashire. So, Nerley. And you said, so, so English is so hard. English is so stupid. Because dearly, you say dearly. And clearly. And clearly.
Starting point is 00:13:07 But you also say early. Yeah, you'd be an early. Yeah. So that's where Nerley comes from. And early, early, early, but dearly, nearly. There is no rhyme. There's no reason to it. It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:13:20 okay yeah oh my god are you ready to have your mind blown okay right on the fact that the english language is stupid we're just going to continue tier and tear are pronounced the same and i'm saying tear like a tear drop and tear of a cake spelt t-e-a-r and t-i-e-r are pronounced the same but tier and tear and tear both spelt tea-r are pronounced differently yeah it's it's fuck that's so annoying but i also I also thought Tear was spelled T-A-R-E, but it isn't, is it? No, that's stupid. No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:56 If you ever think English is not a shit language, then remember that read and lead rhyme and read and read and read. Oh my God. Read and lead rhyme and read and red and lead rhyme, but read and lead don't rhyme, neither do read and lead and lead. It's smart. It's all spelled the same. No, it's smart. Cough. rough, though, and through.
Starting point is 00:14:25 They all have the O-U-G-H. Yeah. And like, aught. Out. Nout. But you'd say nout. And ought. Yeah, it's so messed up.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Honestly, like, God help people learning English. I don't know how anybody does. Like, other languages is just way more consistent, which is stupid. Telling someone, you are shit and you ain't shit are both insults. but you are not shit is a reassurance you are not the shit is an insult and you are the shit is a compliment I present to you the English language
Starting point is 00:14:59 It's mad, isn't it? Unbelievable I never said she stole my money has seven different meanings depending on the stressed word I never said she stole my money I never said she stole my money I never said
Starting point is 00:15:20 she stole my money I never said she stole my money I never said she stole my money I never said she stole my money I never said she stole my money oh my God it's crazy isn't it I should be an amateur actor and I stress amateur
Starting point is 00:15:40 yeah I should be a beginner yeah I can see the Thespian prowess already thank you very much Why is it humans and not humane? Yeah. If you've got man, but then a plural of man, you don't have man, you have men. Yeah. So why is it human, humans?
Starting point is 00:16:02 Because we're stupid. We're so stupid. It's really stupid. It doesn't make any sense. I love this stuff. I'm obsessed with all of this stuff. I love grammar. I love grammar.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I do. I love grammar. I hate grammar so much. I do not know what a semicode. does and I use it all the time. Do you want me? No. I kind of like where I put it.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Longer than a comma, shorter than a full stop. Longer than a comma. It's like an in-between of a comma and a full stop. See, I kind of use it like a half a colon. Like, I'm kind of half presenting these. No biggie. It's like to join up two sentences. Yeah, I don't use it for that.
Starting point is 00:16:46 That are related, okay. No. That are related, but not do. No, I don't use it for that. directly related. No, no. Because that's more of a colon. No.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah. I do like the semicolon, actually. I think it's my favourite of all the punctuation. It's a tough question. I like an asterix. Okay. A bit small. I like a question mark.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I like a lot of question marks. I like lots. That feels pointed to me. Exactly. when someone does like more than one question mark i'm like well just you might as well just tell me what i've done wrong why do you hate me yeah just like why stop with the passive aggression just tell me oh god i think i give you loads of question marks i think i mean it when i'm like genuinely curious i'm like oh my god what do they say question mark question mark question mark question mark
Starting point is 00:17:39 but i feel like you can tell when it's like oh my god tell me tell me loads of question marks are like what do you mean question mark question mark question mark and then i'm like okay you clearly hate me and I'm not going into this right now. I have had to get used to your style of WhatsApping though because you say K a lot or like KK and like lull is sometimes like a full answer and I'm like oh no, crushing. I think I'm just a bit efficient when I want to round something up on WhatsApp so this doesn't need to carry on and I don't like to do the heart but also if you're asking a question I'm just going to give you a simple answer. Are you free? Yeah. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I think I put Y, E, a lot. You do, yes, yeah, you do. And I can see that that's annoying, but I'm not going to stop. No, no. You, I give you the answers that you want. You do. That's actually how me and Sarah communicate to each other the whole time. And I can, and since you told me that, from then I was like,
Starting point is 00:18:41 ah, okay, I get it a bit more now. Well, that's how we communicate. Yeah, yeah. And we do communicate a lot. Yeah. So I think it's just, I'm just very used to like, yeah, KK, cool. See ya. Because, like, lull for me, especially with my sisters,
Starting point is 00:18:55 and is, like, passive, it's like passive aggression. Oh, no. I just genuinely mean like, like, loll. Good fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Lowl.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Also, like, fuck. I've learned that. I'm normally, like, my lulls are normally like rooted in fear. Fuck. Yeah. Lowell, everything's gone in from smoke. Ah, loll's all gone wrong. That's how I spend a lot of my time.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Like, honestly, fire alarm goes, I'm like, loll. It was like the episode when we did how many lolls you'd put. How many, oh my God. I did, how many lulls you put. I know, the next live show is just, I'm curating the ball. Yeah, the lulls. Okay, I've got something. I have an embarrassment for a, I have an embarrassment for a reader.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Hi, Alex and M. I hope you both well. So I left a voice note for my sister after this happened to me yesterday, and she said I had to send it into you guys. So here we go. For Christmas, my ma, my ma, oh, it's just my ma'am, and I always feel like a fraud using someone else's, like, My mom. Yeah, it's like, she's your ma'am.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Me and my dad and my nan are off. My ma'am bought me and my sister a two-hour dermal. It's like when someone says mom, like when an American, but they've written mom. So I'm like, I feel like I should say what you've written because that's the polite thing to do. Yeah. But I'm a hero. See, this is about the English language again. We've got moms.
Starting point is 00:20:10 We've got moms. We've got moms. And then there's just dads. Mommies. There's no dids. And mommas. Deds. They're just dads.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Weird. Anyway. For Christmas, my man bore me and my sister a two-hour thermal spa experience gift voucher. So I'd been ringing up the spa all day, trying to get us booked in, and it kept ringing and ringing. Sorry, and it kept ringing and ringing, or it eventually said, all our advisors are currently busy. Please try again later and cut me off. So this afternoon, I thought I'd try calling again. I picked up my phone and click call on the first number in my call log as I thought that had been the most recent number I'd called.
Starting point is 00:20:45 A woman answers, and I'm like, hi there. I have a gift voucher for two people for the two-hour thermal spa. experience, please can I book it in? The woman's like, sorry, we don't do that here. And I'm like, hey, but I have a gift voucher slightly sassily as I'd check the gift voucher from my mom several times before ringing up. This goes back and forwards, for I'm not even joking, Asia's, her saying, we don't do that, me trying to explain that I have a gift card for a two-hour thermal spa experience. In the end, I say, wait, can I just check? Who am I speaking to? And the woman replies, well, this is a dentist. I died. Imagine two hours had been trying to. I've been trying to. I'm
Starting point is 00:21:20 and a book a two-hour thermal spa experience at the dentist. And not only that, but insisting I had a gift voucher. That's my favourite thing. She wasn't even going to pay for this experience. This is on credit. I'd forgotten the dentist had rung me that afternoon in between my calls to the spa. Anyway, I had to hang up the phone immediately and couldn't even bring myself to say, oops, sorry, wrong number because I was dying of embarrassment and wanted the ground
Starting point is 00:21:41 to swallow me up. So I hope you both feel secondhand embarrassment as we... I do. And find this story, as funny as my sister who was cackling in the street listening to it. What I just love is the robust, like, the rebuttal, like, no, we don't do that here. And it's like, oh, okay. But like, no, I've got a voucher, though. You have to do this.
Starting point is 00:21:59 The most embarrassing thing, in one of the most embarrassing things for me is claiming a voucher. It's so embarrassing. Why is it so embarrassing? Why? Because it's just money by another name. Yeah. But like, when my great auntie used to give us a five-pound book voucher for Christmas every year, And spending it was in equal measure.
Starting point is 00:22:22 So exciting and so horrible. Because I get to the counter, I'm like, oh my God, what if it doesn't work? And I have to pay, oh, you know, when you think you're paying one price for something. And then, I'm sorry, Bua's barking. Boer's busy. She's very busy. She's talking to toast. She's got a, she's got a new boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It's kicking out. It's early days. Yeah, well, I don't know how it's going. I don't see it working out. No, I'm not sure. There's a lot of tension. Yeah. early on in the relationship.
Starting point is 00:22:51 It's fiery. Yeah, it is fiery. It's passion, it's young love. Yeah. Yeah, there's nothing more embarrassing than when you think you're paying one, think you're paying one price for something and then there's a price that you don't expect.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Like, isn't that the word? Like, you're like, of course I'll pay. You have to pay. You have to pay. Or it's like you count up how much you think it's going to cost and it's like, you've worked out and then you get to the counter and it's like way more than what you thought
Starting point is 00:23:16 and it's like, oh my God. but I've just got to pay it. Yeah, Mortify. Or, like, if you've got the voucher, but then, like, you get your thing and then you go to the checkout and then they're like, oh, the voucher doesn't apply
Starting point is 00:23:25 for this thing that you want. But, like, oh, I don't know, so the, the voucher only covers them out. That would be my worst night, but I'd be too scared to use the voucher in case they told me that I couldn't use the voucher. Do you know what I mean? Definitely.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Laughed at me for using it. Yeah. Or if they're like, well, like this person, like, you've come to Waterstones and this book is for W. are this vouchers for W.H. Smith? It's just, there's so much potential. How embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:23:52 It's just so complicated. It's just, it's not simple like it should be. It's not just money. But then if someone gave you just money and was like, go and spend this at the spa, you'd be like, unrelated, but kind of related. I got a Tesco club card recently. Congratulations. And I am obsessed with.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Points. Yes, but also, because they have like club card deals. So you type everything. You scan all your items and it gives you a total and then you scan your club card and watch the total come down. It is a proper rush. What a thrill.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I love that. See, I give people gift cards. I think they're amazing presents. Yeah, I do. Now I feel like I've done them really dirty but just as a recipient of a gift card, they're just anxiety inducing. But a lot of stuff is online now,
Starting point is 00:24:40 online gift card, which removes the embarrassment. Yeah, I think, yeah, having to use it in a hotel or a spa situation. He's like, oh, I have a voucher. Yeah. And it's just like, why is this so embarrassing? This isn't embarrassing. This is arguably a great thing.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Why is it so embarrassing? Why is it so embarrassing? It's like delve into the cycle. Is it because we feel like we're trying to get a freebie and we're embarrassed that we're not paying? Yeah, except someone's paid. That's how we've got the voucher. Exactly, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Have you ever won anything? No, I don't think so. When I was seven, I won a holiday to Norfolk in a raffle. My mum wouldn't let me take it. Did you? in Norfolk. How old were you? Seven.
Starting point is 00:25:21 She wouldn't let you take it? What, by yourself? Bitch. Yeah, we got, we went to this really random, I can't even remember what it was. I remember there being hay bales there, some fundraising thing, obviously. And my mum bought us, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:36 like as a mum does, when you go to a raffle, everybody gets a ticket, you get a strip and then we're a family of five, so everybody got their raffle number. And I won, yeah, I won a holiday to Norfolk. And I remember being equal parts mortified and elated when they called out my number.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I was like, oh my God, that's my number. And I was like, we're not taking it. You're not going. And I was instantly, it was like stepping on a grape. I was just like, oh, I was so excited. I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to Norfolk. And she was like, you know, not. Another layer of embarrassment, when you're, it's cold, when you're, oh my God, my brain's fried.
Starting point is 00:26:13 When the raffle is drawn and you're the wind. and did you have to walk up to collect it? Like, that's horrible. I think I went up, but I don't think. And then I think it was the added thing of laughter, because I'm seven. She can't go to Norfolk. What's she going to do with a holiday to Norfolk?
Starting point is 00:26:32 And everyone's just like, hating me because I probably got like the peak. Everyone else probably just got like a fucking, like, you know, cheese board or something. There's me like, I'm out of here, bitches. I can just see you all like, like this little seven-year-old year you're like red and determined, like, I will go to an offer. I will, I'll prove you all wrong.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I've been once, 20 years later and I had to pay. I know. Bad times. It was absolutely crushing. And I don't think I won anything else for a really long time after that. And I, I, until very recently when I won a trip to the zoo. And on a moral level, I'm very against zoos. So I'm not going.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Yeah. Me too. But it was nice to win. Yeah. Except it wasn't. I don't like winning. I always think about zoos because I feel the same but there's also great place to take kids. I know. Well I feel a bit differently about
Starting point is 00:27:25 petting zoos about like goats and sheeps and shit. Yeah. I feel like those in London I don't feel so bad about but like the zoo. I have some moral quandaries with but then the zoo do quite a lot of good I have
Starting point is 00:27:41 I have a friend that works for the zoo doing the conservation stuff and all and then I think, well, God, maybe the zoo isn't, and that should be really interested to hear people's thoughts on this, because then I think maybe the zoo isn't that bad, because these animals are in captivity now, so maybe they, you know, like, we can't just stop, because people just stop going to the zoo,
Starting point is 00:27:58 then people can't afford to look after them, and they can't go back into the wild, so they have to be looked after. So maybe we just have to accept that London Zoo needs to get shitter and shitter and shitter until all these animals die, and then we just don't replace them. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Like, until there's just, like, one, like, ancient penguin left, and then after that, everybody will stop. going. I always remember someone saying, and I don't know who it was, I think, I can't remember, I really can't remember, but someone saying that, like, you shouldn't see animals outside of their natural habitat. Yes. And you shouldn't
Starting point is 00:28:27 like pay to see animals outside of their natural habitat. No. But then we totally do that all the time. Yeah. Like, well, mind you, where are dogs supposed to be? Yeah. I mean, here, like, on your lap. Like, there was sole place. Can you, she's
Starting point is 00:28:44 like, how much people are here? She's woofing. Yeah. She's really going through some stuff in this new relationship. She is, isn't she? I know. And you know what? Her hormones are like raging. I imagine it's incredibly stressful. This girl has a boy in every borough. She has got Kiko. She's got Bisco. She's got Zuzoo. She's got Stan.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Now she's got toast. She's busy. I imagine that to be an incredibly stressful. Yeah, where are dogs meant to be? I don't know, but I'm sorry. Where are cats meant to be? House cats? At least dogs kind of survive on, I guess cats survive on the streets a bit as well. Yeah. But also, we're not paying to see dogs.
Starting point is 00:29:15 although I also think about this all the time I have kidnapped this dog yeah yeah I found her I brought her to my house I put a piece of string around her neck and another one to stop her going away from me I give her all her food I choose when she leaves the house what she eats what she drinks who she sees when she sees them
Starting point is 00:29:36 there's no consent she's like a kite she did not consent to coming home with you yeah she's just like an alive kite and I just that and that's just that I drag Betty from her home country Yeah Oh my god You're like a human trafficker
Starting point is 00:29:50 But for dogs Fuck Like a dog trafficker Betty I'm so sorry Oh my god But this kidnappers Liam nieces is coming Shit
Starting point is 00:29:58 Shit the wolves They're gonna revolt one day It's actually If I think about it too much I'm like Oh my god I'm just holding her captive But then I'm like If I let her free
Starting point is 00:30:06 She wouldn't go any Oh god she's got Stockholm syndrome She wouldn't go anywhere She'd sit on my doorstep And I'll come back in Are you truly happy Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:30:14 Is this what you want? No. Do you want? Do you want to live with me? Do you love your life? Say yes. It's the end of the day and I feel like you can tell. We've descended into chaos.
Starting point is 00:30:26 And I think we need to leave. Once more. We need to wrap up and leave you guys to it. I would be interested to hear what people think about zoos. Please write in. Let us know. I would be too. Where you're at morally with zoos and petting zoos and all of it.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Because I am quite curious as to where we're at ethically with these things. Same. The address is, should I delete that pod at gmail.com? And then we are on instead at should I delete that? If you would like to, send us a DM or an email. Embarrassing stories. Is it just me's? Confessions. Everything is welcome.
