Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, welcome back to Should I Delete That, I'm Alex Light. I'm M. Clark soon. Happy Christmas, Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. You sure that's not got you? Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. Eve. I hope you're feeling festive
Starting point is 00:00:27 I think that tied me out like the counting exhausted me let's do some awkwards I would love to okay we've not been awkward in ages which is a shame because I could actually start you off with an awkward of our own I don't know if I've told you about
Starting point is 00:00:42 actually you know I don't know if I've told the listeners but our current home situation oh no what were you going to say what was your reaction I was thinking of the taxi driver oh god that's what fuck okay right guys we've got some stuff to catch up on right starting with the taxi driver I'm going to say it's really quietly
Starting point is 00:00:57 because I'm not delighted I'm actually mortified do you remember a few weeks ago I told you a story on the podcast about how my taxi driver had been playing Candy Crush on the way to an event and it turns out
Starting point is 00:01:07 I heard from the company I wanted to die I felt so bad I heard from the company because the marketing manager of the company listened to the podcast and I felt so bad and she was so nice
Starting point is 00:01:17 but I felt so bad because I didn't want to get this guy in trouble and I did well I didn't actually thankfully he'd quit anyway which I could have told you that his heart wasn't in the game.
Starting point is 00:01:27 He didn't have big dreams of... He had bigger fish to fry, let's be honest. Candy Crush tournament to finish. But oh my God, I felt I literally wanted the ground. I wanted to die when I got that email. And everyone's made me feel better and been like, no, because it was dangerous. You know, he was like...
Starting point is 00:01:41 I mean, he was literally playing candy crushes. We were driving. But I have been mortified. I nearly cried. I was like, oh my God, I've got to stop telling everybody everything. I feel like we think, or at least I think, We're just, like, shouting into the void here. I know, I know, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:01:59 There are people on the receiving end. I died. I absolutely died. As the people pleads, I'm like, no, no, no, it's fine. I'll be involved in a car accident. Don't you worry. Just don't get him in trouble. The things we say on here, but that really scares me because the things we say on here,
Starting point is 00:02:13 there's just, there's not much filter and that worries me. I know, I know, I know. That was really awkward. I felt really bad. Thankfully, he's left the company anyway, which was a huge relief. Yeah, that wasn't the awkward that I was going to tell you. Go on. Okay, so, listeners, Alex's best friend's living with us at the moment.
Starting point is 00:02:30 He's been staying with us for December. Boy Alex. Yeah, that'd be weird if you're friends. Boy, Alex's best mate's been staying with. I mean, he's one of my best mates as well. It's Oleg's Godfather. And we're having a hoot. It's actually proved to me.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Everyone's like, oh, is that stressed? I'm like, no, it's so good. Like, Alex's got two dads right now. Like, it's incredible. Like, we went to Batty Power Station that, like getting everyone out of the house, so much easier. With three of us, it's like, God. I could get on board with this long term. Anyway, you know when you're moving to a new house and things takes you like a few months for things to break and not work and we're working out.
Starting point is 00:03:03 There's a lot in the house. Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. And the lights switch wasn't working. So the nice handyman, Adrian, who's literally like keeping the house up at this point. We had to bring him like, oh, something else was broken. Came to fix the lights in our room, the lights switch in our room. And Ross heard Alex coming up the stairs and he thought it was Alex. and Arlo. So he went, morning you two. And he turned around the corner and it was Adrian and Alex. And Adrian's like, what? Money. Who the fuck is this man coming down from your bedroom? Morning you do. I think he thinks we might live in a fun trouble. I think he thinks you're in a trouble. I think he thinks that Ross was saying hello to me and Alex. Yes. Like, yes, yes, yes. Hello my
Starting point is 00:03:53 partners. Yeah. Yeah. Hello you, hello my loves. Yes. Love this for you guys. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:03:59 You are basically in a thruple. It's actually, a platonic throuple. It's proving super, like all the, like bad, like the guilt I feel about being a bad wife with age and stuff, you know, like I'm not, like, I'm not talking to enough time with him. Like I have to go to bed so early. I'm not having dinner.
Starting point is 00:04:13 He's got no one to eat dinner with. He's got no one to cook for, like no one to cook with. You know, like all of that. He's got Ross. He's got Ross. He's so handy. It's so handy. That's so handy.
Starting point is 00:04:23 They sit up, they watch, they watch TV, they drink beer, they eat curry. And I don't have to be there. We win. Ross is going to live with you forever. I'm not mad about it. You weren't willing to leave, neither were I. No, yeah, no, I'm really seeing the perks to this. It's feeling good.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I love those for you. I know, yeah, it's so weird. I want someone else to live with me too now. Well, because we've had Georgie before this. Of course. So we just have, we kind of have them on. She's got an open door policy. I like it.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Well, yeah, just, I mean, within reason. It's for Georgie and Ron. mostly but yeah it's because it's very helpful my awkward last week which I didn't get no last week yeah putting awkwards in at weird places I like it I know this is it's Monday behavior but let's have it on a Thursday it's Christmas who cares oh god who cares structure and routine have gone out the window it's Christmas out my awkward last week which we didn't get to do because things were chaos with the GBA yeah but I did say it very briefly on the podcast but I need to tell you because it just made me laugh so much.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Because Genevieve's awkward. Because she was in the house alone. And out of nowhere, she was being quiet, there's nothing playing, no music, nothing else. Alexa out of nowhere said to her, well, just said, you may not be bright and you may not be beautiful. And that's it. She didn't say anything else. She just said you may not be bright and you may not be beautiful.
Starting point is 00:05:47 What the fuck? There was no butt. That is quite scary though, right? That's super weird. That's not scary. No, it is super weird. Alexa things do scare me a little bit. The future?
Starting point is 00:06:01 Not the future. I just, I don't know. They just like creep me out a bit. I remember I was sitting and talking to my ex-boyfriend. We were talking about the cats. And then Alexa, out of nowhere, I just went, meow. I was like, that is not a coincidence. I mean, I have no idea why she was telling me.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Jen that she's not bright nor beautiful. I don't know what that was about. But yeah, weird, right? Really weird. What a burn from Alexa. The very thing that you pay money for. You may not be bright and you may not be beautiful. You could have given her one. One but. You may not be bright, but you may be beautiful. No, no, no. That's a too broad attack. I know. And out of nowhere. How rude. I don't understand. Yeah. I was going to. also oh my god my bad and I said this on the pocket I like briefly like I literally was like one line but I have to tell you I was the day after my sister's wedding yeah we were all my family we were in the room together and Tommy and James so Tommy's my son James is my nephew they're the same
Starting point is 00:07:10 age Tommy and James they were on the floor and I looked down at my phone and it had stuff all over it and I was like Jen James James has been sick on my phone he's sick a lot I thought Jen James has been sick on my phone and she looked she got close and she's like oh that's not sick. He shat everywhere. He shat all over my phone and he was just rubbing it in like rubbing it into all the little... I have so many questions. And crevices. Why? Where was his nappy?
Starting point is 00:07:37 His nappy was on but it was a proper explosion. It was all out. Where were his clothes? He only had a little vest on. Okay. Why did you think it was sick? What is he used? I just saw liquid. And it was just... And I thought he'd been sick. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:55 It was so disgusting. I reverted back to, because my mum and dad were in the room, I reverted back to being a child. And it was like, James Bede on my phone, Dad, Mom! And then my dad sorted it out. He went and got wives and did it for me. How sweet. Mom was like, fuck off.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, I'm team normal with this one. You were a grown adult, sort out yourself. And then my dad was like, I'll come here, I'll do it. I was like, oh, dad. Also, please do it. Yeah, I was just like, can you take the cover off and do it properly, thanks. Oh my goodness. Because you can't just wash your phone.
Starting point is 00:08:28 You can't just put soap with it and wash it. I did that once. I dropped my phone in the loo after I'd had a wait and then got it out and I was like, oh, no, there's wee on it. And then I ran it under the tap and that's what broke it. Yeah. I didn't think. I just thought we, cleat.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Well, you do. Yeah, I've got to fix this. So I tried to fix it. I feel like I've got my own awkwards, you know, because it's been so long since we've done good, bad and awkwards. I got offered £500 for some topless photos the other day. I saw. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I should have said yes. I'm actually really annoyed at myself. I was thinking I was like, 500 pounds. That's Christmas. Like, you know, it's an expensive time of year. 500 pounds. Well, I actually, we could have had it though. That was just a starting offer.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah. And you could have said want it. Want it only. Yeah. And I have two. So we could have that. We could have at least a thousand. That would have been nice.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Yeah. And also I. There was a deal to be had there. I learned recently about emetophiles. Never leave money. on the table. Sorry, what? Metaphiles. That sounds like she was sick.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It is. It's people who have sick as their kink. And I thought, I wish I'd known about them. I could have made some money. That feels like a brilliant way to profit off of your pain, actually. I know, and I've left it really late
Starting point is 00:09:41 because I've got, you know, we've got a couple of days left of this shit and I imagine how much sick I could have gathered. I could have been posting it. Wait, do they want? What they want? I don't know what they want. They don't want the sick.
Starting point is 00:09:50 But I'm ready to hear them out. You know what I mean? I don't know what's that Everyone's got a price, yeah So that's a waste But something to consider When we're weighing up a third pregnancy It's the money to be made
Starting point is 00:10:02 Before we get into listener or awkward I actually have something to bring up with you My favourite text I think I've ever received from you For me? For me? Go on You said, I have a question New message
Starting point is 00:10:12 Did you tip your elf? And I thought That's unusual Context. Context went to Lapland, UK, which was amazing, absolutely amazing, and this really lovely elf, cheery highs. Cheery highs. Cheery highs.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Looked after us and he was, it's so nice. I don't believe you had an elf, you had an assigned elf for an all day? Yeah. I didn't get an assigned elf of the day. But I was late. Maybe they were all gone. Yeah. He was so nice
Starting point is 00:10:50 and he did such a good job and I was like it feels wrong not to like give you a tip Did you? No because I didn't have any cash on me I keep thinking this I keep people in hospitality at the moment Must be all my tips
Starting point is 00:11:03 When I worked in hospitality All my tips were cash And at beauty salons Yeah Hairdresses Yeah oh my god I felt so bad I had a wax the other day Which should be a bloody awkward
Starting point is 00:11:10 In and of itself At this stage of pregnancy My Lord Fucking hell I was so sweaty But I wanted to tip her And I just I don't have any can It's horrendous.
Starting point is 00:11:20 There needs to be a better system. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there does. I think a lot of them allow you to put it on card now, put tips on card. Yeah, no, they do. But if you prepaid, if you do, if you do, book a treatment on treat well, you prepay. Yeah, so when it comes to leaving, it's like there's no... Also then the treat, the treat, the tip goes to... The shop.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Yeah, exactly, rather than the... I know. Aesthetician or hairdresser or whatever. Yeah, it's, I don't love the system. Listener, awkward. The subject is, is it just me submission awkward with seven ars? So that means it's extra awkward. Super awkward.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Hi, Alex and I hope you both okay. Well, it sounds like neither of you has been thriving recently. So I'm just sending lots of love. Oh, God's sake. You're not wrong. But we hate that that's... How we're perceived. We hate that you see us so clearly.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I am a long-time listener of the pod, basically since the start. Fucking love you. Thank you so much. Sorry, that burst out of me then. I just got so excited. And whenever I listen, it always brightens my day.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I commute to uni and listen to the pod on the way and the amount of times that I have had to try and not laugh like a complete an utter weirdo on the train is ridiculous. I've probably had some funny looks
Starting point is 00:12:36 from strangers, so thank you. Thank you. Why was something so aggressive? Sorry. Thank you. I've gotten awkward for you. So, for context, my ex and I broke up
Starting point is 00:12:46 about six weeks ago. I'm sorry. I don't feel ready quite yet to rejoin the dating world, but I thought someone on my course was quite attractive for the past few weeks. Love that. Love this. There's been a lot of eye contact in lectures. I thought they fancied me back, but maybe they just kept catching me staring at them.
Starting point is 00:13:03 No way, first one. Former, always, always, always. Anyway. Sorry, I'm never in your head, babe. Sorry, I'm excited, I'm getting swept up. No, I agree, I agree, I agree. It's Christmas, you know what I mean. No smoke without fire.
Starting point is 00:13:14 No, not at all. Anyway, I pointed them out to my friends last week. my friend then said that she could get some intel because she was in a class with this person's friends which was fine by me I knew nothing about this person and just wanted to find out a bit about them she told the person's friends
Starting point is 00:13:27 I found them attractive and my name which I said was fine but she also gave them my phone number and Instagram to pass on which I definitely did not say was fine bless her she was trying to play Cupid but I was mortified I know on the face of it this isn't a big deal I'm just a very private person fair and didn't like the situation being out of my hands
Starting point is 00:13:44 plus I've never, I've literally never spoken to this person. I mean, that is quite embarrassing. That is quite. To be given. It's, it's, it's a move. It's a move that you should have made on your, like if you weren't ready to make that. It's not an embarrassing move, but it's, it's a move that you make. It's a big.
Starting point is 00:14:00 It's a move. It's a declaration. Yes. Intent. Intent. An interest. Fast forward to the next time I have a lecture with my crush. I am in the library beforehand doing a guided meditation, deep breathing because I am so
Starting point is 00:14:12 anxious about seeing them, especially as they hadn't reached out to me. I walk into the lecture hall and I can see them out of my peripheral vision but I can't bring myself to look. My friend is also ill that day so I'm on my own. The lecture starts. It's on attraction and mating. The lecturer then puts up this slide where people in a study went up to other people on a university campus and said something like, I've seen you around campus and I think you're very attractive. The lecturer then says something like that's creepy. Imagine someone doing that. Loads of people in the class burst out laughing, including several people behind me and it sounded like it was from where the person was sitting but hopefully not I was
Starting point is 00:14:48 so embarrassed even though I didn't do anything I just wanted the ground to swallow me up the lecturer went on to explain the study in more detail and explain why it was a bit weird which then put her comment in context but honestly by that point rational thought had left my body I clocked out and I was shaking with embarrassment at the end of the lecture I just ran out and didn't look back I haven't heard from this person and it's been a couple of weeks now their loss. It was bad luck that this was the topic of the lecture but honestly I think it's quite funny now you've got to laugh at stuff like this. Can I just say the lecturer should not have been making that comment. I don't know what their profession. Right. I don't know what
Starting point is 00:15:25 they're smart in but famously that's exactly what in nature. What does a peacock do if not like show them the bomb? Exactly. Intent it's clear from the off. This is how creatures find mates. Yes. By declaring intent. Right. I mean, the great love stories of our time
Starting point is 00:15:47 would be nothing if Romeo had never told Juliet if... Of course. Jack Dawson had let Rose jump. You know what I mean? I really hope those people weren't laughing at her...
Starting point is 00:15:58 No way. How would they know? Because I'd like to fight them. How would they know? Yeah. Because good on her for shooting her shot. Shoot your shot, babes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I'm always team shoot your shot. like me too i mean i i get that there's like sort of fun in the flirt but also we've got time for that like let's just that's we're busy we're booked we're busy we're booked we're busy let's cut to the chase well like we're stressed and well dressed depressed well dressed I don't know what I'm doing I there's no time on time but we love a rhyme you know oh oh oh I think that's fair enough I get that you're uncomfortable because your friend made the move but it's worth it. Why not? It's a bit annoying now that you just have to not, you know, you have to coexist in silence with them. Yeah. Hold your head up high though. Hold your head up high. Go into
Starting point is 00:16:49 those lectures. You did nothing wrong. Don't you. Good on you. Yeah. Yeah. Did like nothing ever happened. Yeah. Head up high, chin up. Yeah. And go you. Yeah. What's it? Tits and teeth. Tits and teeth. And replay this episode before you go into the lecture. I wouldn't. Or just, no, Just this bit, we're telling you, chin up, tips and teeth. Just write tips and teeth on the back of your hand. Yes. Explain it to no one. I have another one.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Awkward and embarrassing is a subject. Hi guys, love the podcast and love you all. I've been following you on years on Instagram and your body positivity has genuinely helped me getting through high school and now college with health issues. They've drastically changed how my body looks and feels. I thought I was someone who hated a podcast, but turns out, I just hadn't be listening to the right one because I've been obsessively listening
Starting point is 00:17:43 to all episodes for a while now and I will say even emailing at all feels embarrassing to me but I wanted you both to know that anyway thank you oh thank you that is really kind anyway I have an awkward and an embarrassing for you the awkward this oh it's two
Starting point is 00:17:57 it's one awkward one embarrassing and embarrassing the theme of this week is student okay life the awkward this week I was at lunch on campus I will preface by saying to be fair it was very busy, and this guy I've never met or seen before approaches and asks if he can sit with me. First of all, I don't know him. A second, I was in a restaurant-like setting that we have
Starting point is 00:18:19 on campus. I was sitting in a booth. He has to sit across from me in the booth. I genuinely don't think he was being creepy about it, but it was so awkward because he asked to sit down whilst actively sitting down and as a people pleaser, what am I supposed to say? No, fuck off. Anyway, I spent the rest of my lunch trying not to make eye contact accidentally with this guy sitting directly across from me at the table I'd been at for over an hour doing work. Is this a super weird thing to do or is that a normal thing for someone to do? Super weird thing to do. Super weird thing to do. Super, super weird. Also, what is he supposed to just listen to a meeting? He just sat in your booth. Yeah, that's... A booth is an intimate.
Starting point is 00:18:52 That's really awkward. Booth is like, knee-touching territory. Booth is like... Yeah. The sound is, you're in, you know, you're in like a... It's a booth. It tips you over into, like... It's rude not to acknowledge and be polite and make small talk with the person. Oh, 100%. Because of the proximity. So that's a very strange thing to do. Very strict.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Well, there are the suits available, I suppose you don't know. Well, he said it was, she said to be fair as busy. A booths, a booth, though. A booths a booth. Respect the booth. I couldn't sit. I couldn't insert myself into a booth. No.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Well, not that your state right now. Not in my size. No. Be embarrassing. I am a student studying medicine the most embarrassing thing is studying in public by far I am not someone who does well
Starting point is 00:19:43 of studying and self-motivating at home if it's going to get done well it needs to be done out of the house I'm exactly the same I'm the opposite I'm exactly the same on my home and just focus on stupid stuff but studying anatomy in public
Starting point is 00:19:56 with the dick on my laptop screen is so incredibly embarrassing is it just me or am I supposed to hunch down and hide my laptop when someone walks by or do I sit in a corner where no one can see. But then they may think I'm doing something much worse than studying for a
Starting point is 00:20:10 class where I legitimately need to know the reproductive anatomy. Maybe I'm sexist, but as a feminist, I do find it much more embarrassing, embarrassing to be studying male anatomy on my screen than female anatomy. Well, yes, it's funnier, isn't it? I've got so many questions on this for you on the back of this. Studying for medical classes is embarrassing often, such as having a class where we're discussing STIs or reproductive anatomy or illicit drugs and I am then made to Google these things or have them on my screen in public for all wandering eyes to say they really should come up with the better system or I should get better at studying alone, probably the second one. Okay, I have so many things to ask on this, right? Because she is 100% right. But I actually can
Starting point is 00:20:48 think of very few things I would be happy to be busted, Googling, reading about or watching. Like when I notice someone come up behind me in public, a hospital, for example, I'm spending quite a lot of time in the hospital and therefore in hospital waiting rooms at the moment. It's boring, right? Yes. my job is normally to make content of myself so I'll very often be editing stuff of myself fucking mortifying
Starting point is 00:21:15 like if someone walks over my shoulder there's just like videos I'm just watching videos of myself die die so hugely embarrassing can't do that in public because it's just like the worst so then it's like I don't want to be like scrolling like just scrolling general social media in general I feel also embarrassing very embarrassing what did you stop on
Starting point is 00:21:34 Why did you stop on that? Exactly. Why are you watching that? Yeah. It's very exposing. Why did you scroll by that one? Exactly. Texting, fine, but it's not always someone to text. So what I generally find myself doing and waiting was going through my emails
Starting point is 00:21:48 because I feel like that's the only acceptable thing to be seen doing on my phone. Now you've got me thinking about it. There is nothing not embarrassing to Google. I was going to ask you about this. I wanted to see your search history I thought Oh my gosh I thought it might be a fun feature
Starting point is 00:22:10 I am not proud about my search history Do I need to buy my baby something for its first Christmas I like that you put it But buy baby grow for baby's first Christmas Oh no this one's bad No, go, go, go.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Why has Hilary Duff not been in many films? Did you have kids? She's been busy. I was just intrigued, okay? Fair enough. This is between me and Google. How do I find a pokey place near me? Who is Hilary Duff?
Starting point is 00:22:53 I do know why I'm obsessed with Hillary Duff. Leave her alone. How much sleep should my 11-month-old be getting? There's going to be a lot of those, isn't there? I enjoy mine. Am I having Labour or Braxton Hicks? When does the Grand Prix start? How can I watch the Grand Prix?
Starting point is 00:23:11 Where can I stream the Grand Prix? When does Drive to Survive start? When does 2025 Grand Prix start? God, I did not get the answers that I needed here, did I? Best running buggies? So boring. My God. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I found my history from 2019. Oh, God. I have no idea why this is on here. But there is a theme. Apple cider vinegar and stomach ulcer question mark Peptic ulcer symptoms Excessive drooling while I sleep Where do I buy a pink headband from
Starting point is 00:23:45 I need digestive enzymes Digestive enzymes for stomach ulcers Enzymes dosage Do you think you might have had a stomach ulcer I think so Chris Fountain What happened to Chris Fountain? What did happen to Chris Fountain?
Starting point is 00:24:02 This was not good, you know. Oh my God, mine are tragic. None of this. Appendicitis symptoms. Stomach flu. Connor McGregor. Ferritin levels. Piles in pregnancy.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Pain pooing in pregnancy. Oh my God. Oh God. This is not fun to do. Like, I wouldn't want to do any of this in public. See, this is what we're saying about earlier, about forgetting that we're not talking into a void. Why are we telling everybody this? One of my searches is, just to be the next to be with you.
Starting point is 00:24:40 What? But you definitely want to get song lyrics. Yeah, probably. Vein's becoming prominent at end of pregnancy is a lot of tragic pregnancy-related ones. How to stop itching. Itching what? I have no idea. These are them in 2019.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I don't know what I've tapped into, but it's terrifying. Conch, searched for conch. Like the shell? And guessing it was to do with piercing? There is none of these things. Isn't what I searched for? Right, because this is when I was on a plane, and people had babies, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:25:18 why don't babies have eye masks? So I searched, why don't babies have eye masks? Because I was like, what a good idea for a business, baby eye masks? Yeah. Turns out, It's a hazard. I imagine so. It's a safety hazard.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Probably choking, but also safety. Yeah. Yeah. None of these things I would be comfortable. There's nothing I would be comfortable. Anyone else are saying? My curiosity, I'm not comfortable with any of it. It's also so tragic.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I look like this alone, just when this one day, numb arms in pregnancy, low ferretton in pregnancy. Tinkling arms. Why don't my hands work? Help me with my hands. long till my hands start working again, then a lot of thoracic Googling. But there's nothing, there's nothing I want to be, like, this is why I find working in public or just being out in, there's nothing that's like comfortable. That's what you need. You can get screens, like black screens. But what about on the tube? Because like I want to look at what everybody's looking at.
Starting point is 00:26:21 So do I. So do I. So do I. I. I'm so nosy. I know. So then what are we looking? What are we looking at? What are they? Do you think they're thinking the same? thing as us? Do you think they've just got their emails open? Because... No, I think people care less or, like, think less than we do. Yeah, I think so. Dex, do you care what people see? Yeah, see, it's a thing. I like, of course you do. Okay. Of course you do. Okay. Because it's a, like, it's an inter... I mean, like, yeah, with the girl in the deck on the screen. There's no such thing as a unique experience. There is not. Like, I get for her that it's like not great having a willy on the screen, but I always feel like I've got a teacher walking behind me
Starting point is 00:26:55 and I'm being busted not doing my work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the collective feeling like the reason for being on my phone isn't good enough do you know what I mean do you remember when I was sat behind someone who was looking at your Instagram oh my god yeah and I was like ah yeah this is really weird do you think but why was she comfortable to do that in public do you know what I mean was like yeah yeah did she know I was the hair she was like I'll impress her yeah it's really weird mutual friend yeah it's like there's nothing there's nothing comfortable there's nothing sacred. I feel very uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's just embarrassing. You're letting, but it's intimate. You're letting someone into your world. But like via something, like via a screen. But I think, to be honest, it's mostly the fact that I realize that most of the things in my world are quite embarrassing. Like most of the things I do, I do, and I literally mean this as a full stop sentence. Most of the things I do in my life are just quite embarrassing. Like, I wouldn't, I don't think I'm happy.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Retweet. My mum walked into the room this morning and I was filming myself. because it's my job. But I felt like such a fucking loser. I was like, ah! How embarrassing. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Set your silly little camera up. Oh! It's horrendous. Morto. Mortifying. Why is it so embarrassing? I know. It's so embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It's so, to film yourself. Ugh. And it's like a whole career. What little losers. That's a silly little career. What tragic little people that we are. Let's end with another listener submission
Starting point is 00:28:28 full of New Year's Eve Awquids. Topical. Topical. It's coming. Hi, I thought I'd share some my awkwards and hence why I gave up going out for New Year's Eve. Number one was meeting up with some friends and a guy I fancied me and my friend dressed up as sexy cave girls but unfortunately it was raining and during the walk from her house
Starting point is 00:28:46 into town the fur from our outfit started coming off and sticking to our skin. By the time we made it to the pub we looked like two furry dram rats and the guy I fancied had brought his new girlfriend. That's sad. Oh no. I know. Sexy cave girls. I'm struggling. But where was the hair? Where was the fur? Where's fur good? Do you know what I mean? Was it an armpit? The fur was coming off and like onto their skin. It must have been part of the dress. Number two. A bit drunk, slipped over in the splits. So one foot went one way and the other went the opposite way in a pack pub and I couldn't stop myself because I had a drink in both hands.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Oh no! That's a party trick. I like that. Try and do that again if you try. You wouldn't be able to. No one helped me and everyone was laughing so I burst into tears. Fair enough. Still sitting on the floor in a wet patch where I'd spill the drinks and then I had to go home. It was about 9 p.m. Oh my God. Okay. Right. I can actually make her feel so much better New Year's Eve stories. My sister will kill me but she doesn't listen to the podcast. So give her shit. In I'm going to say In 2000, I don't know, she was young. I'm going to say she was maybe 15. It was probably her first time coming out for New Year's.
Starting point is 00:29:59 We were at a New Year's Eve party. It was a really big party. It was a fancy schmancy. And there was a stage. She's going to kill me. And she was in a pretty little dress. And I think she felt like the absolute shit. And she'd probably had a little drink.
Starting point is 00:30:13 It was probably a time in her life when Rebellion started. And she'd had a couple of little drinks. She jumped off the stage with her friend. She'd twisted her angle on the little. landing. Oh no. She falls to a heap in the floor. Now, the normal thing to do in this situation is get the fuck up and scarper.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Yeah. She did not. She held her ankle. She stayed on the floor. Held her ankle. And I'm going to say she sat there for 10 to 15 minutes. Oh, no. Crying.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Yes. No. She said it was too bad because she couldn't move. And so we had to bring ice to her on the dog. And this was an adult. Oh my God, stop it. Fancy party. That's so embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I was like, get off the floor. Get out of the floor. I don't care if your foot has fallen off. Move. Get up. Immediately. And she stayed there for so long. It was so good.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I love it. She's full of embarrassing stories. Oh, my God. She's so full of embarrassing stories. At her own 21st birthday, she went to the loo. She was sick, and she was being sick in the loo. Then she passed out in the loo. We're in a fancy nightclub.
Starting point is 00:31:21 and I couldn't open the door because she'd blocked the door with her own body it was so bad and it was like where's cat we need to get her on the podcast you know
Starting point is 00:31:32 she's a plastic embarrassing stories for one is it just to me just give her the half hour slot and she just tells her stories yeah we don't even need to be there she is so I don't understand
Starting point is 00:31:43 the calamities that woman finds herself in brilliant she's calamitous so number three started doing shots at a friend's house at about 3pm was absolutely hammered and ended up being sick in the pub at about 7pm so again had to go home early and peaked for the rest of the night. Number four, not mine, but my husband got too drunk and fell asleep in the corner of the pub, so I'd take him home at 10pm. On New Year's Eve?
Starting point is 00:32:03 On New Year's Eve. Doesn't sound like she made any midnight. New Year's Eve, no. Do you like New Year's Eve? Um, I don't mind. What do you do on New Year's Eve? Depends, really, but I'm not like a big going out there. What did you do last year? Um, you were just about to give birth. I was just about to give birth. What are you doing this year? I have no idea. Oh my God. I went to, I went and had an Indian last year, actually, yeah. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:32:27 We normally do big parties, to be honest. Yeah, last year we did, I did dinner with my friends. We just had the kids and whatever. Year before I didn't do anything because HG was super pregnant with Arlo. Oh, yeah. But yeah, normally, historically we'd always have done big parties. There's always a party going on. Love that.
Starting point is 00:32:44 But, yeah, no, not this year. I'll be very freshly. You'll be with a tiny little papa. Yeah, I have offered to have. my friends over and then I was like maybe that's silly I think that's silly do you think but it might be fun I think so unless everyone's going to come and like bring everything can cook everything and clean everything it's the cleaning it's the cleaning I always catch myself I'm like we can do the party we can do the party I never think like the baby shower cleaning hoot yeah the cleaning
Starting point is 00:33:10 not a hoot not a hoot no not remotely hooty painful didn't love it that's the hardest part of hosting is the cleaning. 100% I'm the thinking. No, no, no, it's just the cleaning. People, because, and everything's out. You get everything out. You've so many people in the house.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You get all the forks and the knives out and stuff. And why are these all out? And I hate it when people try and clean. I know they're only being nice. No, I love it. But everything goes in the wrong place. She doesn't speak for me. She doesn't speak for me.
Starting point is 00:33:37 If one of my friends listening to this. Clean. I don't care where you put it. Help. Just clean it. Guys, we've got to go. This has been great. This is the real.
