Hello, welcome back to should delete that.
I'm excited.
I'm in Clarkson.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Slightly less controversial Thursday episode this week.
Fucking hell.
We're, we got by that, by the skin of our teeth.
That was rough.
It was rough.
Yeah.
It was an intense 24 hours.
More so for you, because you had to cut the video and do the train.
Which wasn't popular.
Yeah.
It landed like a lead balloon.
Obviously last Thursday, if you didn't hear it, we did an episode about why Blake
Lively was being cancelled.
And we should have seen it coming, the fact that everybody's so annoyed with her.
We should have seen a reaction coming.
And actually, we were really lucky because everyone that listened to the podcast was super receptive, respectful.
Yeah.
We really didn't receive any criticism for the episode itself, but for their trailer, it was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was, I mean, I think I underestimated the anger towards her.
Like, I knew that people were, like, enjoying canceling her, but I didn't, I underestimated
how angry people were.
And I think, understandably, like, a lot of domestic violence victims, you know, are super
angry at her because, and I've been, I've seen the film.
Have you?
Yeah, I've seen it.
Did you like it?
I actually thought it was a really good film.
Yeah.
But it is, like, completely about domestic violence.
yeah I mean I read the book as well like that is the you know it's the central tenet of the book
and the film and like it is you know and it is but we did acknowledge that in the beginning
like is shit that she said like bring your girlfriends wear your four rules like completely
making light of this very serious subject and a very serious film but I have to say I did like
the film I thought she was brilliant yeah I thought they were all brilliant and great cast
what we acknowledged is that and we're not going to talk about this for long we're literally
she's going to do five minutes on this and then we're going to get into stupid emails and
we want to talk about long denim shorts coming back into fashion but before then I think the thing
that I have found really frustrating is the singular wrath that we have towards her where we can't really
see that it's perhaps unjustified in its intensity like yes we can be frustrated and we can be
a little bit annoyed.
What was really obvious to me,
what I ended up talking to my Alex
about McCar for ages,
is I don't know if you saw
I did a post about it,
but Mason Greenwood was his footballer
and he played for Manchester United.
And a couple of years ago,
his partner basically brought forward
a lot of like photo and video evidence
of the domestic abuse
that he inflicted on her.
It was,
and he was charged with attempted rape and assault.
The videos are harrowing.
It's horrific.
the voice note is I remember at the time it was horrible to hear and really shocking and he was
dropped by Man United at the time and then a year later her her case got dropped basically because
key witnesses dropped out which is a tale as old as time in rape cases in the UK as we know like
fewer than 1% of rape cases even end up with a or with rapes end up with convictions like I think
it's mad like I think it's what I think it's no it's 1% in rapes
in the UK end up in a charge
and that's before you've even gone to trial
I mean it is the most
depressingly terrifyingly
underreported and under convicted
and crime that there is
anyway so it's inevitable
that you know a case like this
that people were able to poke holes in it because they always can
because it's the only great case where women
where victims end up the one on trial
rather than the person that did it
it anyway it fell through and man united wouldn't sign him back again also can i just say
how terrifying that she can have all that proof and it's still not a strong enough case
like you can i mean how much do we need to believe a woman like it's just proof that we will
literally never believe women anyway and then um case was dropped and then last year and then this
year he signed with marseilles about a month ago marseille football club in france obviously as
Alex would know and my homeland yeah of course your people um he signed with marsefc
whatever it's called for 27 million pounds and a lot of people called them and you and they were
like you're literally profiting from an abuser like you're making near 30 million on this guy like
donate that fee to women's charities did they did they fuck because it's just not the scrutiny
they're not looking at him they're not looking at the clubs they're not looking at any of this
all the headlines have been from like the manager of Marseille basically saying
he's going to get a loads and that'll calm the controversies he was applauded onto that
pitch like a hero was he and apparently or apparently his shirt like number 10 with his name on it
was the most worn shirt in the stadium that day on his first game and it's like this is what
frustrates me is yes Blake Ladley's fucked up but look at this guy I know and though like
that's what I was talking about when I said
that the bar was at different heights for men and women.
It's mad and it's like, we'll forgive this guy if he gets enough goals.
But like, I don't understand how it's deniable.
I mean, that's like, I could rage about that until the end of time.
I just don't understand why people were denying that on the post as well.
And I really got myself into a tiz about it with Dave.
And I was like, in my head, and, you know, admittedly, my head, you know,
things could be better up in there.
But in my head, it's so very clear that, like,
that this outrage towards her is not.
not justified.
No, sorry, this vitriol towards her is not justified.
The scale of it.
The outrage, yes.
You can be outraged at how she's handled this.
It is bad.
The film is about domestic violence and it's graphic in what it shows.
It is, I think it is pretty graphic.
It shows like an attempted rape.
It's graphic.
But, like, she just hasn't handled it.
She hasn't handled it properly.
She's fucked up.
But, like, how can, that is so.
separate from yeah I don't know it's just it's very clear in my head and I was getting
really frustrated and Dave was like stop like don't respond to people because I don't think
you're going to have a productive conversation here as is all as is the case for everything on
social media that's even stuff that isn't controversial like you don't end up having
productive conversations with people because it's like people I don't want to listen no
there isn't much room for nuance for understanding for taking other people's opinions into
account there is no room for changing your mind on social media it seems to be just it's impossible yeah
well the thing that i did find really funny in the comments and i do find it funny with hindsight
is everyone going they just want you to listen to their podcast like don't fall for it guys this is
they're just click they like it's obviously we want you to listen to the podcast that's the point
of a trailer that's literally the point of a trait like people have got so like conspiratorial like
we've seen so many like i'm not sheep i'm not going to listen to your podcast and it's like well
then don't be so like i can't this is madness i know but i
I've had Dr. Elaine, our Monday guest in my head a lot, being like, this is just, this is just the internet. It's fine. Yeah. It's fine. And you know what was really good actually? Because we were both in a spin about it. We cried so much on. But you texted me and said, is this just on negativity bias? Yeah. And that was like after speaking to Elaine and I was like, that actually hit me and I was like, I think it, I think it is. Yeah. Because there was a lot of positive. There was a lot of positive. There was a lot of positive. Yeah. Yeah. And I just didn't focus.
I still believe that it's a conversation worth having.
And I was really proud of myself for sticking to my guns
because normally I'm so scared when someone disagrees me,
particularly when that many people disagree.
Same.
And I had this, I had this, like, it was like a visceral panic I had on Sunday morning
where somebody was like, oh, Saturday night when I got into bed
and I saw a comment on the reel and it was like, M Clarkson,
I quote you in the art, like, I quote you in the podcast.
And like she put a direct quote of what I'd said in the podcast.
Like, she put it as a comment.
Yeah.
She's like, and basically you're minimizing domestic violence with this comment.
And I was like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And then I read it again and I was like, no, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
About her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I was really proud of myself, but I thought like, no, I stand by my opinion and that's okay.
Yeah.
And this is the thing that does make me a bit sad is when people go, I love you, but I've always loved you.
But I hate this take.
I know.
I've always supported you, but I'm going to have to unfollow you.
for this and it's like guys i know someone wrote i normally agree with everything
alex light says but not this time and then people were under it same same exactly this and i'm
like that's unbelievable that you've agreed with everything i say because we're very different
people i don't even know you like and you've said some shocking things in the last few years right
al didn't know two seat of cars existed no i thought boats had wheels like honestly like
more full you
if you plead everything
that I've agreed
God help you
if you've believed
everything she's said
but it's like
we wait for a woman
to fuck up
it's like I love you
I love you
I love you
you've got it right
tick tick tick tick
big cross bad
see ya
and it's like
we're literally waiting
for the big cross
bad
and it's so frustrating
because it's like
we can't just go
oh no
it's like reading a newspaper
and going
I like that
I like that
I'm not interested
in that story
but we can't do that
with women
it's like we've got to love
all of you
or none of you
And it's so annoying.
It's like we just we can't be.
Yeah, I, you know, I really thought we were going to get cancelled.
But I was adamant that we shouldn't take the post down because I believe in it.
I stand by it.
Yeah.
We both do.
We stand by what we were saying that.
Well, I also admit that wasn't my best, like the trailer was probably, it didn't do, it wasn't the best.
Yeah, we could have, we could have, because we did say in multiple, multiple points in that in the episode that like, yes, Blake's fucked up.
Yeah.
Yes, it was tone deaf.
Yes, she, you know, like, we acknowledge that.
But I guess we didn't acknowledge that in the trailer.
Yeah, which we probably should have done.
Yeah.
But we didn't delete it.
And you know what that is?
That's growth.
It's gross.
Look at us go.
Considering the name of this podcast is, should I delete that?
Exactly.
Look at who we've been and who we've become.
Let's put this away.
Yeah.
Because I feel like I need to not talk about Blake lively for a bit.
I know.
I know.
Should we go into the emails?
Or do you want to talk about Gen Z shorts first?
Yes, but it's not so much the shorts.
It was just a thought I was having.
Okay, two things, two thoughts I was having.
The second one, I don't know if the second one's controversial.
I feel like it is.
Maybe I don't...
Okay, let me start with the Gen C stuff.
I feel like millennials are apologising so much for being millennials
and are terrified of being labeled,
like their actions being laid millennial,
their clothing being labeled millennial.
We're like terrified of that label.
But we are millennials.
We are millennials.
but it's because it's synonymous with not being cool.
Let me talk you through the classics, right?
And I can picture them because I've seen so many fucking memes.
But like the Zara dress that everybody had, millennial,
heart-shaped sunglasses that we all wore, millennial.
Which is our address?
The one that everybody had.
Which one?
The white and black one.
Put spots.
Everybody had it.
Our little trainer socks.
Millennial.
Wavy hair, beach waves.
Which I love.
Me too.
doing a heart with two hands, as you should.
Millennial.
Is that millennial?
Do you not, have you not seen what the kids are doing?
Oh, God.
Give me your fingers.
Oh, God.
That's that.
Oh, shit.
They make their hearts.
Oh, man.
I can't even do that.
It's because you're a millennial.
If you had little Gen Z fingers, they'd be right, they'd be all over that.
Like, I don't think we should be apologetic for it.
Millennial pause.
I do the, I do the, of course you do, you're a millennial.
Of course I do.
It's fine.
But I cut out, my millennial paw.
Because I'm scared of it, because it is, once you see it, you can't unsee it.
But also because I'm embarrassed about being millennial.
Then I'm like, but why?
I listen to this podcast and I really love these girls, women.
They're like late 30s and they are so desperate not to be millennial.
And it's kind of like, they talk about it a lot, a lot, a lot.
And I'm like, let's just embrace being millennial, shall we?
But I think it's just another thing.
It's just another like anti-aging attempt.
It's another...
Do you think our parents' generation had this?
If you call my mum a boomer to her face,
I genuinely think she would give you a whack,
which is big boomer energy, but still...
She would be serious.
If I said, okay, boomer to my mum,
I genuinely, I think she would explode.
But I think it's like,
it's because we're attaching something to our age
and women have historically been taught
to hate getting older
because we're judged for it
and we're kind of laughed at
and we're mocked.
And like, it's all fun and games,
but actually probably underneath that
is probably our like terror
about being older and irrelevant
and washed up and passed it
and that's probably what it is
everyone's just clinging onto youth
but I can't do it Alex
I can't do it
I got on board with the big socks
that's fine yeah I quite like the big socks actually
less pressure you don't have to shave your ankles
that works so good for me
you don't have to worry about it slipping down into your shoe
no I agree and it's easier not to lose big socks
little trainer socks
Oh, gone
washing machine
Gobble Gobble
eats them
Big socks
No
Like they
You know where you stand
I'm okay with this trend
Yeah that's fine
And I like
Well
See I really liked
The Clean Girl aesthetic
It felt very good for me
Because I can just like
Slip back in my hair
But now they've all gone brat
There is
What you're talking about
What are you talking about?
What do you mean go brats
They've gone brat
They've got brat
They're having brat summer
I'm not doing this with you
You know
I know
Brat Summer means but what do you like what's the link with your hair okay well so Brats are like
they're not like clean girls are like Haley Bieber we're slicking back you know we're doing the
crocodile clip and I know there people are rolling their eyes going don't don't succumb to trends you're
better than this I'm not I'm not better than this no no no no's Alex absolutely not love a trend
the kind of um I don't know if it's called Brat but like the the fade I don't know if this
specifically is Brat but like what they're going into now what Gen C's that they're kind of having like
knotier and bigger hair, they're going more grungy again. Oh, I see. Darker eyes. Oh, wow.
Yeah, like, clean girls gone, like darker lips. Like, they're going, they're going punky.
Interesting. And I, honestly, I looked around on my family holiday and bear in mind I'm the
oldest and my dad's girlfriend's got three kids and they're younger than my, me and my,
me and my brother and sister as well, so we all get younger from me. Right. I am the pensioner
of the kids. And then they all get younger. Yeah. And they all sitting around,
and they're like neon bikinis.
Oh, wow.
Being brats.
And I'm there with my like big tummy and my crocodile clip and my toddler.
It's not very brats.
I am.
There's nothing brattie about me and I would love it.
I want to be a brat.
Okay, I went, did I tell you this?
I went, how my sister tend to and I went to Infernos.
Fuck off.
Yes, I want to look.
told you this. What? Oh my God, I was so excited. You didn't invite me. I was,
tell the people, I've been excited to talk about this on podcast. Tell the people what Infernos is,
because not everybody's going to know the nightclubs of South West London like we do. Infernos is
an iconic, like, shit hole. Shit hole, like nightclub. It's like infamously, like the,
the floors are sticky. My friend got spiked there. Oh, shit, really? Yeah. Oh, God,
that's not good. I mean, I've, I've, I've, we've all been spiked. We've all been spiked. It's not
Infernos is full.
Yeah, well, yeah.
So, yeah.
Allow it.
Sorry, Infernoes, you're fine.
Don't come for us.
Please don't do us.
It's actually featured.
It's in the In Betweeners movie, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's when Neil does that, like, stupid dance across the floor, which is hilarious.
That's in Infernos.
And it's just rotten.
It's so good.
But it's also brilliant.
I can't believe you went to Inferno.
I think it's like Pop World vibes, right?
No, it's way worse.
Rottier.
Yeah.
Okay.
Pop-a's like one for the girlies.
Inferno's like one for like every single person in London
after they've drunk too much or bought something illegal
and then can't go home.
Well, that was my old experience as somewhere like infernos,
but not this time.
No.
Things have really changed.
Let me just say like if there had been a smoothie bar in there,
a juice bar, I wouldn't have been surprised.
What?
Has it been gentrified?
People, like, weren't really drinking.
Like, a few people, like, had a beer here and there in their hands, but there was, like,
no shots, nothing like that.
There was no messiness.
Like, imagine us in Infernoes, like, back in the day.
Just, like, on, I would be on the floor, probably, like, riding around, like a dog.
I would be, like, grinding on the floor.
I was, like, I was, I was feral.
Right?
What?
We were so feral.
Like, shots and, you.
you know, so much makeup, like, you could just, like, scrape it off.
Oh, yeah, Dream Matt Moose.
Yes, yeah, yeah, out like three inches in front of your eyes.
A ton of eyeliner, concealer all over my lips, back combed hair, heels, like, skyscrapers.
As they should have been, what's the point in anything lower?
Cut out dress.
Yeah, or like a, or the, the top shot body con, zip up the back, right?
Gold zip, yeah.
No, no.
I love NY T-shirt.
No, no.
They were, like, beautiful, slick back bun.
not a hair out of place
hardly any makeup
but with the brats
no makeup
all trainers
not a heel
I didn't see a
there's no heel
there's no heel in infernos
I know that bit
we don't wear heels
no one
tie dye middy dresses
like slip dresses
a lot of those
or big backy trousers
yeah they're all in cargo pants
cargo pants
a lot of crop tops
with
it's just stunning to me
like so stunning aren't they beautiful i do think that looking at the genitals i just couldn't stop
watching them all and then my sister was like my sister said to me oh i feel old just looking at you
i was like i get it fine i feel so old what were you wearing i'm like 15 years older than everyone
here um i was wearing i was wearing i was wearing trainers so that's okay i got the memo
luckily which ones that were you in the adidas sandbors because that's what you should have been in
no i was saying converse yeah it could have been worse it could have
I think they're fine with converse.
My sister wears converse.
It's bad that I don't like the ducca sambas.
I don't like.
I've just finally bought myself a bear,
which inevitably means
ducco out of style within a week.
Because nothing is more certain.
I like the ones with the big wedge.
Yeah, because that's what I don't like about sambas.
Is they too close to the ground?
I don't like anything to go to the ground.
No, because a ball of your feet starts to hurt.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, you need the cushioning.
I like something with platform.
With these joints, yeah, we need cushioning.
I felt old and sad and I was like,
but also I was like this is such a different experience from
Gen Z also wear long black socks
They don't always their socks won't always be white
With their white trainers
With any trainers
God I just can't I just can't
But my point is that I don't think we should fight against it
Being old being millennial
Being old getting older
I love being the millennial
We don't need to reject Gen Z culture
We can take what we want from it
But I don't think we should try and fit into it
because we are not it.
Oh my God, if I think about the things in my life that I love, beyond my kids and my husband
and stuff, right?
The things that I love in my life is like, my silly, and also I don't have HG,
lattes.
Yeah.
I love lattes.
That's super millennial, right?
Yeah.
Like an oat milk.
Oatmilk, we all, we only.
I love.
That's one of the, like, life's greatest pleasures.
Yeah.
My little, my little, my little, my little, my little, my little, my little, my little, my little,
my little slide on our boots. I love them. Yeah. My big jumpers over my leggings. Oh,
comfort. Is that millennial? Fuck yeah. And it's great. Yeah, I love it so much. Yeah. Yeah.
What else do I like? I don't think what else makes my life good. Something's dawning on me,
but it's quite concerning. Like, and I need to Google it. I don't know if a denim jacket is
millennial. I feel like it could be millennial. Probably. And I love mine.
That's extremely gutting because that, as you know, is all I wear.
No, I think I'd say Gen Z wear those
Are you sure?
No.
I'm not sure of anything, Al.
I don't know anything anymore.
Oh my God, the first thing is
How do I style, Reddit?
How do I style a denim jacket
without looking like a millennial?
Fuck.
If I close my eyes and picture a millennial,
it's you that I see first
and then me a close second.
That's horrible.
But I like that for us.
This is all about like
stylists reveal how millennials get a Gen Z makeover
without buying new clothes.
I'm not plucking my eyebrows
I was all thin.
Absolutely not.
Are they actually doing that?
I know there was like,
they were threatening to but I don't know.
And I don't want to wear low-waisted baggy shorts
with my knickers over the top.
No.
Because I won't look.
I'll look and I'm sorry,
I'm tit deep in it.
Flattering is still a word that exists in my psyche.
Yeah.
I would be miserable.
If I went out in low-waste Chicago shorts,
I'd have the saddest day
because I would just feel like,
where are the knickers supposed to come?
up to. Pass the belly button?
No. I don't think so. That would be very high. I don't know. I just think about Billy Elish's new
music video with Charlie X-CX. She literally talks about it. They explain exactly where their
knickers should go in that song. Do they? Yeah. I know. So much to learn. I know. But I think
you're right. I think we just cherry pick. Cherry pick what we want. Because I like the slick back,
but I really got on board with that.
You suit that.
You really suit that.
And you do it well.
Because I do it all the time.
Yeah, but keep that.
It means I don't wash my, it's because I don't wash my hair.
But isn't that, like, isn't that the good thing about trends is that we're supposed to, like, cherry pick from them what works for us and what we like.
And then we carry them on after the trends are trends.
Yeah.
We, like, take them away with us, you know?
Yeah.
No.
And you've taken, no.
Well, I mean, yes.
Yes.
That's the good.
Like, that's, that's what we should be doing.
But we can't because we're all sheep.
So sorry.
We're wearing more makeup now
We went to less
And now we're to wear more
I feel like they're not wearing so much skin makeup
I'm telling you these girls in Infernoes
They had like nothing on their faces
And they just look amazing don't they
They look so clean
I think they do all it
I think skincare's had this big
You know everyone does this like
Yeah
thing with their nails
And then they put like the
What's the drunk elephant product
Where you punk punk
Like don't don't
And then they're like cream comes up the top
Yeah they're all over it
I've started using litemancy
But like that's what they've got really good at.
They like use the hyaluronic acid and their toners.
And like skincare is very in, which is great.
And they all look young because they wear SPF every day.
But like I feel like skincare might be on the way out.
Absolutely not.
Younger people.
No, I feel like they're all over it.
So I've got an 11 year old in my life who like, maybe 12, just turned 12.
Like, and she like honestly, because obviously we're so lucky with our job,
but we get PR things for brands or whatever.
And I save because I get some stuff from Pixie Beauty.
Yeah.
And I save it for her because she is like insane for it.
Oh my God.
Insane for 12.
And she has been for a couple of years.
Like I, whenever I bring her, like whenever I go and see her, I take her skincare stuff.
And she goes mad for it.
Like, and it's same with Sol de Janeiro.
Like I gave her.
Oh, she was talking.
I could hear her talking to her mom about the Soul de Janeiro and I knew I had some in my bag.
And I was like, oh, you can have it if you want.
I've got the, like, the spray one.
I was like, do you want to.
do you want to go, you can have it, it's new.
And she like, last time I was, oh my God, I've wanted this episode.
I was like, how do you even know?
Like, how good is their marketing these brands?
Like, pixie, drunk elephant, soldier general.
There are a few who have like really nailed, like, marketing to kids.
But like, she is mad for skincare out.
20 years old.
But she can like it for young, since she was younger.
I distinctly remember being 17.
We were on holiday in Spain and I noticed that I was getting, like,
I had lines on my forehead.
And that's what I started wearing.
a moisturiser and I applied the moisturiser only to my forehead like 10 times a day and I
erupted with with spots like absolutely erupted I can see how that might have happened but I thought
like the more I put in the more the like the quicker I was going to get rid of the lines did it work
no no no it's yeah they've only grown from there they know so much we didn't we didn't get
to I had that I had um clear a seal clear yeah clear a seal I
and love Claricil?
Ole.
Yeah.
I think it was Olae.
Or Olae was like the really posh one.
Olae was fancy.
That was like above boots number seven.
Like mums.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, moms would have that.
No, I would have my, I'd have clear assail
and then you could have the L'Oreal.
I think L'Oll had a little like clear bottle
with a pink lid maybe.
But my skincare attempts were diabolical.
I never moisturized.
I didn't think I started moisturising
until I was in my 20s.
Yeah, probably.
I didn't, yeah, I went to skin,
I went to a skin workshop
and it was one of the best things I did.
Did you?
Yeah, and I feel like I'm going to send my girls to one.
Yeah.
Younger, because it's nice to look after your skin.
It is.
It's really nice.
There's somewhere between the clickety, clickety, like, anti-aging cream when you're nine.
I saw a nine-year-old on TikTok doing a full get ready with me for school.
Well, yes.
Go on.
And she was up for hours with her leaving.
She was doing the sleep shred.
You know, everyone keeps talking about the sleep shed.
Oh, no, don't.
And she was nine.
And she had like the under eye patches.
on. She had her heatless curls trolling you because they weren't really well. And then a little
satin, like a satin mask thing, like satin head thing. I'm trying to get this stat for you because
Dove did some research and it found the, oh God, I think it was like the 10 year olds, 10 year olds using
retinol basically. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Which is absolutely insane. That's
wild. I've never used retinal. And girls as young as 10,
asking for plastic surgery.
Yeah, I can believe that.
Yeah.
And the rising young girls
using inappropriate anti-aging products
because retinal increases cell turnover
but it's like your cells are turning over
at an extremely rapid rate
at the age of 10, like you're fine.
But that is terrifying
that they even like have
the concept of retinal
and skincare.
Yeah, I think maybe when we were anti-
like if I'm thinking about like the adverts
we were exposed to for like the OLA
or the whatever, the anti-age when we were younger
it was probably like Ava Longoria
and like she was always beautiful
and she was probably only like 25 or whatever
but when your kids you're like
oh no she's older
but when you've got like young people
now looking at like Haley Bieber
or Sophia Ritchie
or any of these like young women
like they're young
you know they're like early 20s
and they're doing all of this
so like the girlies are getting
kinnies are getting in a lot
as terrifying
I mean, it could be, but it could be worse.
Like, yeah, it's, it's, it's appearance-focused, it's not great, it's teaching, you know, beauty ideals, bad, bad, bad.
But it's not crack cocaine.
That's true.
Props for that.
And also, like, we were just obsessed with binge drinking, really.
I started smoking cigarettes when I was 13.
That's very young.
Yeah, super young.
Yeah, like, I think I, yeah.
I don't know how much I want to out myself on here, but like, I did bad things at a young age because everybody did bad things.
young things, bad things at a young age.
It was like, how drunk can you get and how quickly?
Oh my God, yeah.
I would just drink vodka out the bottle.
Yeah, yeah.
Like a savage.
And then sometimes I'd have a bit of orange juice.
It was like a little cursory chaser.
I get, I couldn't know, drunk.
With bits as well.
Vodka out the bottle.
Yeah, bad.
Like sambuca shots.
Yeah.
Through my nose.
No, I never did it through my nose.
Growing up was realizing that I just wanted to do tequila and I wanted to be left alone
with everything else.
Also, I bought a thing of.
beer the other day and I was like oh my god buying a thing of beer when you were younger it would be like
it would be such a palaver like it would be first of all financially like how are you going to
pull together like everybody's getting like to make their money's worth like get their money's worth
so we can go and buy like a six-pack who's fake idea we're going to use like where are we going to store it
and then the other day I just bought one for Alex and I was like what that was so easy we've got a six-pack
first time you bought beer yeah I don't really drink it and obviously oh I didn't really drink
a lot like I stopped drinking for a while so yeah did I tell you about the time that I tried to
because I'm really late in the year my birthday is 26 of August and obviously the cutoff yesterday
as of the day we're reporting and the cutoff for the year below is the first of September so all
my friends were older than me they all turned 18 first I was the same because I was July
yeah miserable yeah everyone was able to go out I couldn't so I tip X my ID I tried to turn so my
birthday's 88 I tried to tip X out the bit of the eight at the top 36 yeah and tried to
into a club and he noticed, and I got arrested.
How stupid that I got arrested for it.
And my boyfriend at the time was just like,
I was like crying because I was being like taken off by the police
to go down to the station.
You went down to the station.
They told me down to the station.
You went down to the station.
They made like an example out of me.
How pathetic is that?
You went down to the station.
I went down to the station.
My boyfriend was like running after me also crying being like,
I'll find you.
Like they would let him come with me.
And then what?
I was like, I'll find you.
Nothing. Literally nothing. They took me down to the station, had a word with me and then I left.
Did you leave on your owner? Do you have to make a phone call? Did you get one phone call?
No, my boyfriend, like, ran down there. Yeah, he's not like sweaty and crying. It's like, help.
Oh my God, bless him. I've been arrested. Okay, not the guy to call him in the crisis. He doesn't
feel like, no, I feel like, if somebody else cried when I got arrested, I didn't, no.
No, suck those back up. This isn't about you right now, buddy. Put yourself together.
How sounds like that? We need bail money.
I can't believe you got arrested
I know
That's hilarious
And surprisingly I didn't get a conviction
A charge
No
I feel like
Worse crimes have occurred
Yes
Oh my gosh
It was mortifying
No absolutely mortifying
Because all my mates
They were all 18
They could go in no problem
Did the bounce ago
Like 999
The police were like on the road
It was like
It was a road in Chester
Where
Like it was just famous
It was the only nightclub
Chester and there was always stuff going on there.
So the police were there with their ban on the world.
Oh my gosh.
How embarrassing.
I wonder how many people got away with like drug deals that night because you,
the police were busy taking you down to the station.
Oh my god.
A little 17 year old girl like crying.
I bet you, I bet you lost it.
Oh no.
No, we got out and then my boyfriend was like, oh, she would try and get back in.
That's like, you're fucking kidding me.
You're kidding?
No, I've seen too much.
I'm a changed woman.
Prison changed me.
I have seen the error of my ways
I'm living a straight life from now on
you don't know what it's like in there
you don't know man you weren't there
oh my god I can't believe you went to prison
I know that is so good
I just use my friend maria's in the year above

I think my sister's all borrowed my provisional
license actually yeah cats have mine

An ex-convict in our mix, ladies and gentlemen.
God, yeah, lock up your bag.
