Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Shiddley that. I'm H. Clarkson. I'm Alex White. Okay. That felt. It felt. Disjointed? It did.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Yeah. No, I hated it. I thought I've done it now. I was going to say I loved it, but okay. No mind. Feeling fulfilled. Today, I love these episodes. We've got.
Starting point is 00:00:30 reader lulls, not read a lot, we've got listener lulls. Read a lulls, leader, I was like, what's just happening? Listener lulls. Listener lulls. No good. No, you, you, you were proud of your title, you give it, you give it, you move it out. Sorry, okay. I was proud of my title.
Starting point is 00:00:44 It was great. Bad question mark? No, fuck I fucked it. Fuck sake. Good question mark? Bad question mark? No, just awkwards. Loved it, great title.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Thank you so much. Probably would have translated better if they'd seen it written down. Hopefully they would have done by this point. I feel like when you have to read out the punctuation, not great. I never want the punctuation read to me. I should have just said good, bad, no, just dot quiz. Yeah, you should have done it with the infliction. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:07 You know, like it should have just been off. I hate that. I know. I'm so uncool. It's like when you say dot dot dot, dot, it's like, no, no, I should. Oh, God, I say that. I know, no, I know. I do too.
Starting point is 00:01:18 But it's like I should be able to muster up enough flare in my dictation. Oh God, I know what you mean Oh, boy, I'm so stupid What's the word? What's the word? Well, it is inflection Yes, no, but it's in my Dic, dig, dig, dialect
Starting point is 00:01:39 No, no, Never mind, move on. People will be screaming this at us. Because I don't even know what to Google To get what I'm trying to say. No. What am I trying to say? Never mind.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Let them be awkward. Diatect. Dietet. Dialect. No, it's not dialect. I think it's got a need on it, like an eye. It doesn't matter. Let it go. I love these. These are my favourite listener lulls. Okay, can we just go straight in?
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah, yeah. We'll order it. Number one, I went to the local sorting office to pick up a parcel, walked back to my car, opened back door and threw in the package, open the driver's door to find someone sitting in the driver's seat that it wasn't my car. Oh, my lord. Someone had parked a car the same as mine next to me. Just to really compound my embarrassment, I had to retrieve my parcel from the backseat of their car
Starting point is 00:02:32 and my sister was watching from my car. She couldn't breathe. No, it's the fact that she threw it in because you've then got to leave. Sorry, I've got to go back and do this again. I hate that. I'm embarrassing. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:02:48 And the fact her sister saw it, oh my God, her sister will never let her lip back down. that her sister saw it because when she goes to her car she can go ha ha ha ha ha let's all laugh if you go back alone yeah that's sad that's sad that's a walk of shame but there is something about your sister saying you do something embarrassing that's just you just know that it's just going to live forever and ever and ever sisters are brutal they're savage I saw a meme yesterday it was like nothing is as funny as that one time my sister pronounced something slightly wrong My sister still thinks it's the funniest thing in the world
Starting point is 00:03:23 but like 10 years ago I read the word ethereal and my mum always my mum always Cassia'd be nice you know Emily's dyslexic Oh And that makes it worse Ethel Don't you start
Starting point is 00:03:39 I've literally just I love it, good text card Okay number two My friend wanted a photo of my bumble match that I'd slept with, and I didn't realize, the screenshots included the chat behind it. Oh, that could have been worse. The chat contained some of the filthiest dirty talk
Starting point is 00:03:59 I'd ever engaged in, which my friend could read entirely. Oh, God. She was scarred and now has those photos on her phone. No, okay, sorry. The idea of reading anything my friends have penned that wasn't meant for me is horrible. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I don't want to read your diary. No. I don't want to read your diary. want to read your homework. Like, I do not want to read your, I don't want to read any of it, but I do not want to read your sex. I would rather watch you have sex than read about you having sex. Great.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Are you serious? Yeah. Are you standing by that? Yes. I would rather walk in and go, oh God, sorry, Al, and leave. Because there's a chance there that it's like, I'm not going to see that much, right? I know I've got the gist of it. The shapes, it's how, I'm not watching everything.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I've just, I've seen a glimpse, right? Whereas with the text, you look at it for the same amount of time, but those words, will never leave your brain. I believe that's worse. My imagination is worse in the reality. Do you know what I mean? Or your imagination. I stand by what I've said.
Starting point is 00:04:58 You're saying that you could walk in, see me having sex. Yeah. And be like, oh, that's fine. Not burned into my brain. We'll never think about that again. Yeah. Yeah, I probably wouldn't. It would probably come up like a couple of times,
Starting point is 00:05:09 but it wouldn't be that bad. Oh, my God. Two things. First of all, I have read accidentally a dirty text once between someone and someone that I didn't want to have read oh my god do I know them yeah so I've know that and I've walked in on friends having sex too oh so you've oh you've been both sides and I promise you the words are worse okay okay they stay in there okay they stay in there I really want to know who it was and I just think no I just think because then you just your mind your mind runs you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:05:41 your mind runs it's not great and you just think oh god this is what you're thinking I don't I don't know what you're thinking, at least for sex. I'm like, well, I know what you're doing. There's not, whatever. I don't want to know what you're thinking. It's way more intimate. You're actually, I think you've hit upon something that it is actually more intimate. It's way more intimate.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. Because this is how you've, like, wanted to communicate to whether this is what you think is sexy or this is what you. No, I don't need to be part of this. Like, you could be having sex, but not really. Be feeling sexy. You know, you could not be, you're just having an off day. You're not like, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And also, you're probably just lying there. You know what I'm not missing. Like, I'm not really. in it. Like when I see having sex, it's just like, oh, it's just whatever. Like, I'm not, I'm not feeling what you're feeling. But if I have to read it, I'm like, oh, God, now I'm feeling what you're feeling. This sexy text that you read, we need to know more. Do they know that you read it? No, I don't think so. It was years ago. This is the worst thing. It was, it was like a screen grab on my friend's phone. And I was like scrolling through. I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:06:39 God. Oh, my God. If they'd have said it, like, I've got a friend at the moment, I've got a couple of friends actually who are absolutely off the wall in their sex lives. Like I do not know what has happened. Farrell. They slept together and since then I've just gone into their own lives and just made havoc. It's been great to watch. Anyway, they've told me somewhere the most sordid, inappropriate. I'll share them all with you after this. Okay. Hearing it, fine. Because they're telling me in a way that's meant for me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then they did this and then they got bent over and then I'm like, we're doing it out of the bomb. And I'm like, cool but when it's like between them and them don't want to know yeah i really do stand by
Starting point is 00:07:21 this like communicating their wants is not that's really really yeah because if you said to me like oh i really want dave to do this it would be like okay that's nice but i wouldn't want to have to watch you tell dave to do the thing you want do you know what i mean okay i'll be careful what I screenshot you then from now on. I can't imagine those are the texts that Dave's getting at this point in your marriage. I can absolutely confirm they are not the, they are not a certain of text between you and Dave. It's me spiraling, him like barely responding.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Okay. Okay. Number three. I started talking about hand and footnails to my physio because I forgot the words toe nails and fingernails. Hand nails, foot nails. Makes sense? I like that. Fingernails.
Starting point is 00:08:12 See, whenever I go into the nail place and I want my toes doing, I never know what to say. Can I have a pedicure, please? No, because I don't want a pedicure. I don't like that. I just want them to file and polish. Just the tip. Just the tip.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Don't worry about that. I hate that. Try that next time. That's horrible. Do you know what I mean, though? I don't know how to say it. Can you just do my toenails, please? Yeah, I think toenails is a horrible word.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah, I agree. It sounds, it sounds like, it sounds like they're going to be like, plurie, glory. It sounds like they're going to be like, k, k, k, yeah, sounds like they're going to be too long, thick. It sounds like they're going to, it sounds like the person's going to have their work cut out. Oh, my toenails. Like big, like, thick fungal nails. Yeah. Oh, horrible.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I'm still thinking about the tip. Hand nails. Um, oh, number four. I'm with nurse. I asked a paraplegic to shuffle over from one bed to another. That could have been worse. It's okay. That's still quite hard though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:19 What do you say then? Oh, sorry, you can't. You can't. Yeah. Well, you don't need to say sorry, you can't. They know they can't. I think you don't have to say, sorry. I hate myself.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I'm just going to go and whack my head against the brick wall over here and then I'll be right back in to help. Number five, I pulled the knob on the door in the sauna to close it. Okay. only a man was coming in behind me. It was his knob I pulled. Oh my God. What has happened here?
Starting point is 00:09:48 So she's got a phallic shaped door handle on the sauna. No, I don't think they do. So she's gone into the, she's gone into the sauna. She hasn't looked. She's just turned around to pull the door behind her and she's grabbed his penis. Oh my God. Come on. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It's like, whoa. In you get. That is the most horrible awkward. I think I've ever read. Why was this knob out? Why was his knob out? Why wait? We just passed over that.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Why was this not out? Why was this not out? What the fuck? Maybe it was a naked sword. corner they divide those men and women no oh unless she got him through the trunks maybe she's in Germany they do that there don't they I don't know oh man it was his knob I pulled that's the most horrible pulling it because they're not stretching I just imagine him doing like a like an archie's back to be like whoa and like pulling himself forward put me down oh my don't oh my mom
Starting point is 00:11:09 my god oh my lord bless her in every sense of the word i would want to be put down after that i'm sorry i will always stand by the fact that the willies are really funny like hilarious absolutely hilarious i actually believe someone's witty i want to hate oh my god that's horrible if this girl's listening can you please write in with the full Why was he naked? We need the full story. Why was he naked? Unless she just got him through his smugglets,
Starting point is 00:11:46 he might have just been wearing like a tight pair and she just sort of got the lot, got the package rather than just the... What happened directly after this? We need more. Did you say something? Did he say anything? We need much more.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Did you both sit and saw her after that? Oh my God. Okay. Number six, the man in DFS said sofa was one meter 38 I said I don't know what that is in centimeters he says 183 every single time boy Alex gets out a tape measure I have to explain to him which one of the inches and which one of the centimeters every single time it is infuriating what do you mean you have to explain to him he doesn't know the difference every time he goes are inches the big ones uh or
Starting point is 00:12:34 centimeters the little ones I can't do this with you every time retain the information also you can see on the tape measure. Because like it says in, in for inch. If it says that, then I'm actually going to shove it up his bum. It does. It says at the start of every tape measure, C.M or I. N. That's so annoying. He'll come downstairs and he'll be like, the room is 200 inches. I'm like, the ballroom? It's not. It's never. It's 200 centimeters. The amount of confusion this has caused in our life. Okay. Next. I was in the changing room at my gym, getting ready to leave. A girl I'm friendly with, a kind of smile and wave kind of relationship, came into the changing room.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I then heard her say, oh, you're leaving, bye, darling. I thought, wow, that's very friendly of her. I replied with a very jolly, bye-bye. I turned around to see her hugging her actual friend who was also leaving. She wasn't saying goodbye to me. She then turned to me and said, see you later. I think the acknowledgement made it worse. Oh, she was sweet to say it to her again.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I hate that. I really, really hate that. that wasn't for me or anything that wasn't for me it feels so it feels humbling is the word it feels like you know when you go to take a step and there's no step there yeah that's what it feels like and your actual tummy just goes oh it feels like it feels like it makes you feel so small like how pathetic that you thought that was for you that you thought you deserved that hello it's a real mirror up to yourself isn't it why you so obsessed with yourself you didn't deserve that hello you think everyone in is talking about you.
Starting point is 00:14:09 You think she wants to be your friend? You think the world revolves around you? It's awful. And yet, I still claim them all the time. Like, compliments, what are meant for me, I'll have it. Oh yeah, I'll always pick this up. It's so bad. It's, ah, the human condition.
Starting point is 00:14:24 God damn it. It's horrible. I think there's something to be said for the future when, like, you lock eyes with someone and then the compliment will just appear like, in like, sort of green text digitally. Love that. Above their heads, do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:35 And then the insult appears in red. There's just like no room for error. There's no room for... I like that. Yeah, I don't want anything... I don't know. Don't ask me how come on to this, but have you been watching Selling Sunset?
Starting point is 00:14:47 No. I'm busy with my housewives. Have you watched it at all? Yes, I had to stop watching Selling Sunset. Why? When Christine walked down the stairs... Michelle. No, Christine.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Walk down the stairs in her 8-inch heels two weeks after having a C-section. I watched that and I thought... I'm out. I'm out. I'm talking out. I can't do this anymore. Did she really?
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah, I was like, you can show me a $13 million house, but that is a stretch too far. I can't handle it. Oh, it's like Bree. Oh, you might have not seen Bree then. You won't have done. She started the series when she was like six weeks postpartum, I think. Wow.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah. I don't know if it was production. I don't know what it was. I just thought, I don't need to be comparing myself to this right now. No. I mean, those women are like one of a kind. One of a kind. I've never seen outfits like.
Starting point is 00:15:37 makeup, hair, all of it. It's absolutely crazy. Immaculate. It's like... I don't understand until I have the same tools. Like I have the same access, the same tools. Okay, I haven't had the surgery and like the filler and the Botox and whatever. So like apart from that, we've got a relatively similar canvas in the shape of a human body.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Like there's only so different they can be. Disagree. No. So I have two eyes, a nose, a mouth. jawline, eyebrows, hair, yeah, right? And I have access to all the things that could make me look like they look. And I genuinely, why are you saying that I'm ugly? No, I'm saying that we, mere mortals, we don't have the time to access all the things.
Starting point is 00:16:24 No, no, this is what I mean. This is what I mean. I have the same canvas. Yeah. Famously, we've all got the same 24 hours in a day. I could go out there and do it. Like, I could do it. Theoretically, I could work that hard on my body.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I could find the surgeons. I could find the makeup. I could do it. Hair stylist. I could do it. I won't, but I could. And isn't that a fascinating thought? I wonder what we would look like.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I want to find someone. I've long since thought this. I want to go and fight. I want to go and have one of these, like, because, like, we have our makeup done for stuff sometimes. You know, you have your makeup done for a shoot or a brand thing or whatever or an event. Yeah. There's only so good they get you. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:17:07 There's only so good they get you. How are these women so good? Because they all, or like, okay, what's James Charles do is makeup yesterday? Yeah. We've got the same tools. Are you just putting way more on? Well, I think that there's a beauty filter on, I mean, I think he definitely uses a filter. And also he uses ring lights that like just make you look like illuminated and crazy, like bright.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And it makes you look beautiful. And also there's a filter on the show as well. The lighting that they use and the filter, they would not look like that in real life. Yeah, for sure. So why don't we do that in here? I think we need a bit more money than we currently have to do that. But think about like extensions, hair extensions, lash extensions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I mean, all kinds of fillers, all the facially things. Botox, all the facially things. I keep Googling this. What do I need? What do I need? There's so many things. They'll have so much. How do you know what you need?
Starting point is 00:18:02 Like, I found the skin place. I need to go. Like, I want to go. I want to go and like, make my skin feel good. I mean, none of it will be pregnancy safe, so there's no point anyway. But then I just, I look at it and I'm like, what do I need? Because obviously they're going to make them all sound really good. They're like, how I'm hydrating, you plumping, and rejuvenating, anti-age.
Starting point is 00:18:17 I'm not what I want it all. Get hydrophacial. I love those. I don't know what that is. I don't know why it wouldn't be. Are you allowed red light in therapy? In pregnancy? Yeah, believe so.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Then yeah. Yeah. Okay, right. I'm going to go for that. Do red light. That's really good. But then I want something really good afterwards that just go, like I want everything up and I'm back.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I want to look. I want to look like them. That's called a facelift. See you. After my facelift. I mean, but there's, I'd let you look at the Kardashians. Like, I would, there is, I would do so much to get a list of like everything they do in a year. Fascinating.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Yeah. But I would, I think we should do it for an episode or a post or a story or a story or something where we just go for the day. I remember seeing this years and years ago, and I actually pitched the story where it was when I was working more as a freelance journalist. Because I got approached in like 2015 or 16 to do Love Island. I got called by the production.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And then, obviously, I was with Alex. And I was too, like, I would die. I would literally die. It's so funny. I remember I was so thin back then. And I remember thinking, like, I'd just be the fastest person on there. I was like, oh, it's such a bleakful.
Starting point is 00:19:30 anyway. Also, I was like happy relationship anyway. Predominently. Yeah, but I remember seeing that afterwards that there was this course that people were selling where they could like make you Love Island ready. No way. And I spoke to a paper about doing the course and then the timings didn't line up or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:47 But I was like, this would be fascinating. And they did the whole hair extensions. They'd put you on a diet. They were going to do the eyebrows. Oh my God. Like a boot camp, Love Island boot camp. Pretty much that, yeah. Bloody hair.
Starting point is 00:20:00 was running it as a business. That's really sad, isn't it? Fuck, that's so sad. It would cost an absolute fortune. Absolutely fortune. And also, the upkeep is impossible. 100%. Because, yeah, they'll do your eyelashes once
Starting point is 00:20:12 or they'll do whatever and then it's just like, well, now what? That's the thing that I think, like, people don't realize there's so much that goes into it. There's so much maintenance and upkeep. And it's just like, one, crazy expensive, two, so time consuming. Yeah, who's got the time?
Starting point is 00:20:26 Who has got the time? I get my lashes lifted and my eyebrows done. and that's like every about every three months I do my lashes Yeah It takes a fucking hour and a half Yes, it's a lot
Starting point is 00:20:35 An hour and a half And you can't keep your eyes open I'm like I just got this time to waste But that's what I think Like we fail to realise as well When we see like people on Love Island And we see that people on selling sunset Like that is their job as well
Starting point is 00:20:46 Like selling sunset people Their job is to go on selling sunset And look insane Like incredible Like just not real They don't even look real Like that's their job to do that So that's why they have so much
Starting point is 00:20:57 Like they dedicate so much time to it. Yeah. And I also think I'll have a lot of stuff for free as well. Yeah. So. Could never be me. Anyway, I'll go and get hydrophacial and then I'll get a facelift after that.
Starting point is 00:21:09 It's just my recommendation. Take it or leave it. Number eight. Send a text to my work group condemning my boss, in brackets a narcissist, for being late to his appointment. It was meant for just the nurses. He's a vet. He saw it.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And I got called into a. meeting. Oh, went to a meeting. I need to know how the meeting went. Is it toxic of me to not believe that a vet could be a narcissist? I hear that. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. No, like. Fets say puppies. Yeah. Yeah. Although what would you look after the animals from in this imagination? You know, like, because realistically, they're just squeezing anal glands. That's like the, it's not glamour. It's not in my head. I'm like, wow, it's such a, it's such a beautiful job. But then the reality of it is, is they've got to deal with the humans who are probably awful. They've got to deal with bum holes, loads. And then they have to kill them. Do you know what I actually haven't
Starting point is 00:22:12 talked to you about? How long have we known each other now? I'm worried that I've offended vets. I know there's more to your job than squeezing anal glands. I just think we need to stop romanticising it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think it would be a fun, fun job, let's just say. Grawling. It's It's also like really, like, you have to study for a long long time, don't you? 100%. And you can't, animals can't relay pain. Like, it must be horrible. You have to be so intuitive.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Like, imagine knowing, like, what's wrong with a horse. Oh, my God. Imagine getting in a horse's shoes. I can't even work out what's wrong with me. Okay, 100%. In the four years since I've known you. Yeah. I've never made a friend, have I, a new friend.
Starting point is 00:22:47 That's really sad. But I've made a friend. You made some of my friends become your friends. That's true. That's true. I've made a friend and she's a vet. Made a new friend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Okay. She's a vet. Like, I feel great about this, but also, like, tell me everything. She's South African. Okay. Moved here fairly recently. Okay. I met her through pregnancy stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Oh, she's got a baby. Her baby is, we were due two days apart. Oh, good. You've got a friend. I know. And she's so nice. Like, we've been out to dinner a couple times. And we moan to each other about our babies, which is so nice to be able to do.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Yeah, we're someone at the same stage as you. We moan just as much as each other. And, like, when I'm having a harder time, she, like, drops cookies. and cakes around for me. And then like I do, it's really nice. Did she live really close to you? She lives really close. Oh my God, this is so great.
Starting point is 00:23:33 She lives just by my mum and dad like five minutes away from me. I'm so happy for you. I know, how nice. That's perfect. That's great. I hope she doesn't listen to this because she'll be like, because how, oh my God, that's really awkward. That would be so embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:23:44 So embarrassing. Guys, I've made a new friend. She gets me cookies. No, no, don't. I'm so embarrassed. I'm so. I'm so. I'm really proud of you.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Invarious. Good a girl. Yeah. I really like her. Okay, moving on, that's, I feel embarrassed now. I do have the capacity to make friends. Yeah, you've always had the capacity. Not to sound defensive and triggered, but I do.
Starting point is 00:24:05 No, you do, you're a very nice person. You just could never, you never did it. No, I just, I don't know. I don't want them. The thing is, you have made friends since I've known you because you've made friends for Georgie. I have made friends with Georgie. And like my friends, like Sarah and Elle.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Yeah. Yeah, these people you'd call your friends now. Yeah, but they are, yeah, that's only through you. Would you feel weird calling them your friends because? They're my friends first. No, Georgie, I'd call my friend. Yeah. I'd hope so.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah. Yeah. Look at you. See, you're making friends. You're growing growth. I know. It's good. Okay, number nine, because now I feel sad and awkward.
Starting point is 00:24:37 I'm a lecturer for nursing students. I'm running a course for our second years. I teach these students on a weekly basis. When I was dividing them into groups, I said to one student whose name I couldn't really remember, oh, it's Catherine or Kath, isn't it? With a completely straight face, she replied, it's Jane. That's not too bad. the fact that you gave her a multiple choice anyway
Starting point is 00:24:57 also if you're lecturing loads I know I think it's just it was so far removed from what the name actually was like Catherine or Catholic even if it was like Carolina or Catarina or you know like Jane I like I like that she gave you multiple options because it would have been worse as she had said like hi Humphrey and you'd be like know my name's Jane
Starting point is 00:25:16 like that would be worse yeah yeah yeah she's off the bat she'd say I don't know your name she offered you the chance to correct her yes which you took up and maybe would have been nice to do so with a smile. That's okay. I don't think that's too bad. No, it's not too bad.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I still wouldn't like to do it though. No. Number 10. Once I recovered from possibly the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me, my next thought was to share it with you guys for a giggle. A bit of context. I do some freelance marketing for the company my partner works for. So to cut a long story short, his boss is also my boss.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yesterday, late at night, when it was too late to be working, I only have myself to blame, really. I was messaging both my partner and his boss. Oh, God, I bet this is WhatsApp desktop. I sent a message to my partner saying, Good night, Monkey. One, two, three, four, five, six kisses. Monkey, I hate it. In brackets, he's away for work,
Starting point is 00:26:17 and I put my phone down to read my book. When I checked it, half an hour later, I had sent it to our boss, or chat about social media content ended with me saying good night monkey six kisses oh no it's just like monkey
Starting point is 00:26:31 why would it be way better like way less worse if it was like goodnight darling or babe or sweetheart monkey monkey it's not beyond the realms that you might have been it's not beyond the realms
Starting point is 00:26:47 that you might have given that nickname to your boss you know what I mean in a wild crocodile it could have been that kind of vein. But he'd replied straight away because she put her phone down and she hadn't picked it up for half an hour. He'd replied straight away saying that he assumed it was a mistake. But I was in my own little world reading, it starts with us, enjoying it so far, by the way.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I can never speak to him again and my partner will be called Monkey for the rest of his career. Oh, I like it. Have you been watching, nobody wants this? No. I've got it. I've been recommended it so many times. I'm watching gross. No, drop it for a minute, drop it for a minute. We have, please. This is what no one tells you about being a parent, right?
Starting point is 00:27:29 To a child that doesn't sleep, we put her down at, like, takes maybe 7.308 by the time we're down. She's down. We've got one episode before we need to start getting ready for bed at nine. Oh, it's so, God. I've cancelled all my plans until the baby gets here, so. You have time. Over the next. Adam Brody.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah, I keep seeing this. It will forever hurt my heart. It hurt my heart at the time that I was never going to be with him, but it's, That's been renewed. He's my, he's my, like, ultimate man, right? He's my ultimate man. Oh. No, don't do that.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Don't do that. Don't do that. Oh. You want me to want him too, and then we're going to fight, are we? Oh, with a very disappointed face. Well, this is like when I found out, like, Steve Correll was your dream man. Second dream man, I love him too. Oh, Steve Carell.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Maybe I need to see this man in, like, in motion. Oh, my goodness. he married late in meester yeah he they have a kiss in this series and honestly when i tell you my heart was thumping no see this i thought it was me you remember the thing the the bumble thing about reading the tech this is the sort of thing i don't need to know this is that kind of level yeah no it was oh my god oh my god the way he like he did you want a minute he grabs her face and honestly i was like it i can i'm almost feeling like that's me and dave was like can you stop.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Close your mouth, bow. Why should talk now? Put your tongue back in your mouth. Oh my God, it was the best.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Okay. Yeah, he's not my guy. But that's fine. We don't, you wouldn't want the same, you know, we've done this before. Yeah, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:29:14 We've got different types. Very different types. Yeah. It's a good thing. Yeah, it is a good thing. We don't need to be fighting over men. No, no, we, for so many reasons. For the good of our marriages,
Starting point is 00:29:28 it's probably a good idea that we don't fight over men. Oh, goodness. Yeah, okay, that's nice. That's nice. Good for you. I'm pleased you're getting your kicks. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:38 You love him so much. I love him so much. I love late meister. I think I fancy her more than him if I'm looking at the two of them. She's been in something recently that watched. I can't think what it was. but it was also good. I'm obsessed with her.
Starting point is 00:29:52 I just think she is. I never watch Gossip Girl. How rubbish is that? What the fuck? I've watched it four times now. Now I feel like it's just, it's too late. It's not too late.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Really? Waits you have another baby and then do it then. But you need to push past the first season because it's problematic as hell. Is it? And you just have to, yeah, first couple of episodes.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Okay. It's just like pilot and stuff. I know who. Gossip is. Don't say it. Don't say it. I won't. It's an unspoken thing.
Starting point is 00:30:18 We all know. But I know who it is. So I feel like what's the point? No, it's not a big, it's not like a game of Cludeau. It's not a big murder mystery trying to work out who it is. It's kind of irrelevant who it is. You've got so many plot lines. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Yeah, there's just like Chuck Bass is horrible in the first season. And it's super problematic and I got a really bad guy. And you need to overlook all with that because they obviously decide at some point that they're going to make his character likable. So we have to forgive him. Okay, okay. I'm also on Ed Westwick Talk at the moment. That's random.
Starting point is 00:30:46 TikTok, Ed Westwick Talk. I got it. Yeah, that's really random. He's everywhere for me right now. Is he? Yeah. He's a bit of a dish. Oh, I don't know if he's tall enough.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Hang on. Well, no, no, sorry, that's really, I don't want to be a... That's very problematic. That is problematic. But I, I know. I did Google Adam Brody's height. And? 5.10.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Oh, that's fine. Yes, the Edward speaks high, but then that's fine. As long as they're taller than me, it's fine. I see to people speak taller than me. You want to reach the ceiling. Yeah. I'm toxic. Yeah, you're very toxic.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Isn't it so bad. Women are awful. We're so bad. I know, I know. We shouldn't admit this. No. It's bad. I should be working on this in private.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Well, I mean, the thing is, is I don't know if you do need to do that because you have a husband. I do. If you'd met Dave and you've walked in and he'd been like five foot four, would it have changed anything? Yes. Yes. You were, that was a leading question. No, it was actually. No, look, I, no.
Starting point is 00:31:46 No. I love him. I love him no matter. No, I love him any. I'd be with him anyway. If Dave got shrunk, like in the morning he woke up and it was like five foot two. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Stop asking me these things. I would love him regardless. Of course I would. Yeah, okay, fine, but what if Dave was a worm? We asked them that, didn't we? On the episode with them both. I can't remember the answer as well. Dave probably didn't answer.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I don't know. I don't think it's very realistic. I turn into a worm, I don't think it's realistic that I ask Alex to stay in a marriage with me. Of course it isn't. Like, we're not going to do... Go to dinner with your little worm. Also, parent two children with your worm. It's not going to work. Like, who's going to walk the dog? Can you feed the baby? No. Like, it just isn't, he's not in a relationship with the worm. He's got two kids and a pet. Do you know what I mean? He could keep he as a little pet. But I would have to get comfortable with the fact that he was going to bring another person into the house to be his partner. 100%. We're a very different species. Worm and human.
Starting point is 00:32:48 100%. And I think. And I would have to get a hundred percent. And I think. And I think. And I I'm going to need to be very realistic about that from the off. Yeah. I'm a worm. What species is a worm? In the sex? It's a worm. Is that a species?
Starting point is 00:32:58 That's a category. Oh, what they call? What's the subsects? What are they called? The categories? You've got mammals and you've got mammals and you've got fish. Reptiles. Amphibiuses?
Starting point is 00:33:15 Amphibians. And worms. What are they called? What, Dex, do you know what these are called? Mollus. No, the groups. Like, what are the groups called? Oh, did they?
Starting point is 00:33:24 Just animals. Genuinely. Yeah. What are the subsects of animals called? This is, sorry, we'll go in a minute. Right towards the end, we opened a can of worms. Literally. What are the subsets of animal species called?
Starting point is 00:33:45 Species wrong, obviously. Invertebrate. What are? They're snakes. Types of animal species. Five most well-known classes of vertebrates, animals with backbones, are mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles and amphibians. There are also loads of animals without backbones.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Alex Light. How fucking rude! Invertebrates. Two of the most common. known classes are arachnids and insects so they are just called classes there's loads of them so what's a worm i guess okay what's a worm what's i hate worms you know worms really give me the willies for the one thing that i'm like the most scared of like honestly when people talk about like getting worms in their poo like you know kids get them and stuff oh my i genuinely the the thought
Starting point is 00:34:43 of it like i just want to have who ever had worms no no betty hasn't but one of Mom's dogs had a tapeworm once and she had to pull it out his bum with a hand. It's truly disgusting. It's feral. But like the idea that there's just like a little ecosystem of don't... Worms versus maggots, I think.
Starting point is 00:35:02 In your bum hole. No, are you kidding. Worms, at least like they kind of are what they are. You know what I mean? They just do it with their chest. They're foul. They're like rotten shit. Worms, oh my God, no.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Mom also does a little composting because she was in the countryside. She compost stuff. The compost thing. You open it. Worms. One of your children may one day, end up with worms.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Oh, I know. And you'll have to pick them out. I know. You remember when in the olden days you used to, oh God, no, it's just shaving those of photos of worms that's actually really want to be sick. But I remember my favorite thing we ever did,
Starting point is 00:35:30 you know when you used to go on people's Facebook and actually we used to call it something really toxic, which I'm not going to say. You'd go on someone's Facebook and you'd like write their stages for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember doing it to my brother. My sister did it to my brother once
Starting point is 00:35:41 and she went so annoying. It's really itchy. I've got a really, my bum feels really wiggly. Ridgly. Oh, no. basically saying I've got worms to get my bum feels really wriggly and I was like that is about as grim as it gets that is so grim like a wriggly bump imagine having a bump like oh my god imagine having like a bomb full of worms I have to go I actually it makes me want to cry like oh my god imagine finding a word in your body
Starting point is 00:36:07 oh no people used to eat tapeworms to be thin so that they're like gobble up all the food inside you I would literally rather be a tape that's how desperate we have been and still are to be thin isn't that That's not great. It's not great. It's not great. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I've got to get off worms now. We always leave it on such horrible notes. I know. Guys, we will see you on Monday. I love you. I'm sorry about the worms. Okay, bye. Bye. Thank you so much for listening. Should I delete that is part of the ACAS created network.
