Hello, welcome back to Should I Delete That. I'm Alex Light.
I'm them Clarkson.
I am Boy Alex.
I'm Dave Melia.
That's nice.
I'm pumping.
What?
Because you said Alex Light.
Yeah, I suppose.
Okay, fine.
Do you want to be Girl Dave?
You could be Girl Dave if you want to.
I think I was supposed to be a girl.
So they weren't going to call me Alice.
Do you still feel like you?
be a nice Alice and Alex.
Alice, yeah.
A and A.
A.
We are doing Mr. and Mrs.
Excellent.
Or Mrs. and Mrs.
Mrs. over there.
Yeah.
I think you guys are going to win, given you've got a head start on us.
What does that mean?
Well, you've been together for a long time, haven't you?
Oh, I see, yeah.
13 years in January?
No, it's not.
It's a complete exaggeration.
11 years in January.
Are you sure we're going to win?
I'm not so sure.
My new card, I think we've got a chance.
Okay.
Who said I love you first?
M.
Did you?
Yeah, you did.
In the kitchen, in Dublin.
Aw.
I said it back.
Duh.
That's nice.
Look at me, confident queen.
Did you remember it?
Oh, we've heard it all about your confidence.
Stepping in dog shit everywhere.
Oh, obviously.
Yeah.
It's like, what have I done?
Where'd we been?
I think we'd been a, what was it called the George?
Is it the George?
Yeah, the gay bar in Dublin.
We've been on a night out, we were fucked up.
On drink, not drugs.
Okay, so you were drunk.
Yeah.
It was an alcohol-field moment.
Yeah.
Drunk in the morning?
Drunk in love, yeah.
No, in the morning you said it again.
You're like, still love you, by the way.
I was like, cool.
Just to confirm.
Now she's sober.
How old are you?
When we got to get, I was at 18.
17, 18, yeah.
I was 18, yeah, you were.
Do you know, 19 or 20?
Yeah.
Cute.
I know.
Actually kind of mad
that I packed up all my shit
at 18 and it's like
yeah, I'll go live in Dublin
with this guy
that I'm in love with.
Dublin's the best.
I can't wait
we're all going to go to Dublin.
I know.
I really, really want to go.
For undisclosed,
exciting podcast reasons
we're going to Dublin.
Oh, yes.
Wonder what that would be.
I wonder what that is.
Okay.
You said I love you.
We said it first.
We were in Finland.
We went on a two-day trip to Finland.
Did you?
Under the stars and an igloo.
We had an igloo.
Oh.
And it was.
or glass.
I've got so many questions
about igloos.
Was it made a glass?
Yeah.
No, I mean ice.
No glass.
Wait, is it an igloo then?
When you're in an igloo
and it's made a by
she can't see through the top.
Okay, yeah, greenhouse.
Yeah, good point.
So we were in an igloo.
So we were in an igloo.
Man-made igloo of glass.
It's not an igloo then, is it?
It's a man-made igloo.
You're in a snow globe.
We were in a snow globe.
Okay, we're in a snow globe.
And I, yeah,
I knew you were about to say it.
Were you nervous?
Yeah, because I could tell you
about to say it.
We were like looking at the stars, I remember.
And I got all goody.
Did you?
I love you.
Dave, why isn't our story like that?
Why don't we in a snow glow?
We were drunk.
You were hungover and chocolate digestives.
That's hilarious.
Oh, that's so nice.
That's lovely.
What's their weirdest quirk?
Em's weirdest quirk is
folding my ears over.
It's kind of weird, isn't it?
Yeah, don't want it up.
Fair enough.
She does this, let me just do it to you.
I feel my ears then, like this.
And then I leave it.
Sometimes if I get the right earrings,
if I get the earring combo right,
I can tie them together and then they stay.
Yeah, if I get the earring,
all in the right place, it'll stick.
So weird.
She loves the feeling of it.
It's like a challenge, isn't it?
I can see it already in your head.
You're like, oh.
So this piercing, sometimes I have one with a ball on it.
And when I've got the ball on it,
it'll just stick in my ear,
and then I can just stick in my ear.
So she looks like some kind of elf.
Excellent.
Al's weird is quick.
So rather than dental floss,
which most people would use,
Al use straggles of old plastic bags.
Is that?
It's foul.
It's much more effective than dental floss.
Literally.
What are you?
A turtle.
She will rip a bit of an old plastic bag
and use that to flosser to.
And the other thing in the sink
was this old struggle of blue plastic.
How big is the gap between your teeth?
That's foul?
Yeah, no, it's just...
Show me your teeth?
How are you getting a plastic bag between those?
It's not a whole plastic bag, just to clarify, it's a small bit.
But, of course, the essentials are that come with us on holiday, toothbrush, plastic bag, straggle.
I know, it's really disgusting.
That's fucking foul.
How's that never come up before?
It just works way better.
It just worked way better.
And awkward every week for the first of your life.
How did you find that out?
My mum does it.
How does she find it?
I don't know.
She's always done it.
And then I tried to use dental floss
and I was like, oh my God,
the plastic bag's way better.
It gets more.
She's an eco queen.
I'm like recycling.
I know, thank you.
It's not pretty to watch,
I'll be honest.
Does it squeak?
It doesn't seem to you hear about.
No.
But it can't.
The only problem is when it breaks
in between your tea.
It does sound like a problem.
And then you're stuck.
A flapping blue.
She's a plastic in your teeth.
And you have to go back in.
She has to go back in.
A piece of sea life on a David Attenborough documentary.
It's a great image, I think.
So, yeah, that is...
That's an odd one.
What's Dave's weird as quirk?
That he baths. He will go in the bath like three hours at time.
Yeah, that is odd.
Love it.
I get that.
But he just goes and goes.
Alex sits down to wee.
Oh, yes.
Without fail.
Always.
Not in public places.
Obviously not in public, but not in public places.
That I've never got, but okay, fair enough.
Yeah, I get at home.
I get it at home, but yeah, in public
I wouldn't sit down in public, no way.
That's the beauty of being a man, is that in public places
you can just wee without sitting on the seat.
100%.
But at home, I like sit down.
Do you?
Yeah, I love it.
Every time.
Yeah, it's way more comfortable.
Can I think of a quick week?
Just like put it in to make it go down like that way.
I'm not going to pee over the loo bowl, am I, Al?
You have to point it?
He's not going to sit down and just piss on the floor, is he?
I remember the time that I picked on the wall.
So no.
Dave, you haven't listened to a podcast
so you won't know.
You have to angle it.
No, I think that does me in justice.
I have to listen to a select number of podcasts.
Well, a few years ago, I did a week
and I was sitting on the low
and I thought I'd try and save time
so I tried to tie up my shoelaces
at the same time.
So I was sitting on the low
having a wee and I picked my foot up
and I just stood not pissing all over the wall.
There's a message in there,
never multitask.
No, yeah.
There's something to be such for patience, I think.
Go on then.
Who's the tidy?
me.
Yeah, fair enough.
So we've been playing the game wrong.
We've just been informed.
Sorry, Daisy.
Take two.
I think we just carry on.
I think we carry on.
But we just change the way
we play from that one.
Yes.
What do we think the other one's answer?
Put your hand up.
We've called this Mr. and Mrs.
It's not really.
But, okay.
Who's the best cook?
Emma says she is.
Oh.
Finish the fucking sentence.
It sounds like Emma agrees
that she would say she is.
Do you agree with that,
with that?
Of course I'm not.
Just for everyone's visual.
reference, M looks like she's about to launch
herself over the table and headbutt Alex.
Do you think you're better at cooking than I am?
Absolutely not, no.
Now Alex is backtracking.
I'm getting closer to me.
No, no, no.
Em will say that she's better, because you are, and you're right.
That didn't sound like how it's going.
The vet tracking is complete, everyone.
Well done.
Do you really think of that's a good thing?
I've just seen what fear looks like, everybody.
The only thing I will say is I'm very good.
making green chef dinners.
So you're really good at following instructions.
Yeah, I can follow a recipe.
No creative flair whatsoever.
That's true.
I have no, like nothing outside of the recipe.
That's true.
He is so good at following instructions
in a way that I, that bores me.
So he's so, yeah, like you,
that's very true.
Because also in my head,
I think a chef is only skilled
once they're outside of the recipe
because anyone in the world
can follow a recipe.
Yeah, apart from that.
I can't.
Ingrid.
I take issue with that. I can't, no, unless it's incredibly detailed.
Okay.
But what I find is with all of those boxes, is that they miss out steps, that they consider to be...
No, they don't. Alex just doesn't read them.
No, no, they do. They do. No, no, they do. They do. I think she needs more instruction than they're willing to give.
I think when it says, like, boil the pasta. I was like, how, though?
Yeah. And sometimes they're like, oh.
bake the
chop this
and I'm like
okay but do I chop this
while the things are in the oven
like you're not telling
you're not being explicit
with like
she wants a full timeline
a full yeah
I just don't think they're like
idiot proof enough
that's my opinion
okay
so yeah
I am better
excellent
I can tell that would be the answer
immediately as Alex said
I will say her
but I would say
oh
yeah yeah you are
I feel like you should have finished the thought.
Yeah, I should, I should have.
I actually was going to finish the thought and say,
I do think that you're better at cooking.
We'll never know now.
We'll never know.
You're way better.
Thanks, good answer.
I've never eaten nothing you've cooked and I know you're way better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Al does her tuna slop.
That's her only dish.
It's actually really nice.
It sounds foul.
It's absolutely foul.
It's really nice.
It's not foul.
It is.
It's called it's tuna slop.
That's not what it's called.
It's not going to be called tuna slop.
Yeah, Google it.
It's really nice.
And tonight at the Michelin Star restaurant.
It's like a tuna curry.
That sounds heinous.
Tuna curry.
That tuna slop sounds like...
I think that's even a thing in India.
It sounds like what it would sound like when a tuna gets out the fish and like lands
in the bottom of the bucket, like, slop.
Can we just do a quick...
Run through?
A really quick run through, just ingredients, please.
Obegene, cogette, onion.
What the fuck are you doing, put your tuna in here?
Leaks.
What?
You put tuna and leek in together.
Edomare beans.
Whoa.
Tuna.
Curry powder.
Philadelphia.
Hold on.
And rice.
And soy sauce.
Does someone tell you to do this?
Now, for all the chefs out there,
those flavours and those sauces and those vegetables do not go together in the end of this.
If you put aside your...
If you put aside the tuna and the soy sauce,
and the Philadelphia.
And you put aside your taste buds, yes.
Are you cooking everything together?
Oh, one pot, Wanda.
I will say that, honestly,
when I say it out loud,
it sounds horrible, but it is,
it's really tasty, isn't it?
I would soon like this microphone.
Are you serious?
I would literally rather get a knife and fork
and eat this polyester cup.
I'm going to bring you in a little bowl.
Does it?
Yeah, it does.
But I'm really pleased that you like it.
Maybe I'm making me that for dinner tonight.
Tastes tasty.
I can't say it's not tasty.
It is not tasty.
It's salty and tasty.
Salty.
Salty. It's awful.
So it's seema now.
It doesn't taste nice.
Anyway, okay.
Who's most likely to deal with spider?
I am.
Funny story.
Yesterday morning I was in the shower
and there was a spider above my head
and I thought,
all I could hear in my head
was the thing that spiders are more scared of you
than you are of them.
So I looked at it and I said to it,
don't be scared of me.
I'm not going to hurt you.
I'm a bit tired.
So I said it out loud.
And then it left me alone
and I left it alone
and that was the end of that.
Then yesterday evening when I was doing my teeth and I was feeling really unwell,
this fucking spider that I thought I had a mutual understanding with
just flew down from the ceiling and literally was like right here next to my eye.
On its web.
What do you say?
I think I'm fucking scared of you.
Coward.
It just went straight down past me and then went to my feet whilst I was trying to do my teeth.
Then I needed a way.
I was feeling vulnerable.
I just text Alex and be like, babe.
Can you come and help?
Will you touch them?
Yeah, I don't mind, but it was gone.
I'll also touch them too if Alex isn't there.
Will you touch them?
I'll deal with it if I have to.
But that's the lovely thing of my marriage.
Well, there's only one answer for us, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Simple.
You pick them up and I'm running after you being like, don't hurt it.
Yeah, I do that.
I've never heard them.
I put them in different places.
I know, well, outside, not in different places.
no thank you
no thank you that's very kind
tempting as his sounds
alright tuna slop
that's like Gordon Ramsey over there
sticking her nose up now
to some good old fashioned milk
are you
the elixie your life that
I'm sure that's been an ingredient
at some point along the line
everything else has
I'll make it big one day with that dish
I thought she was threatening the size
of the quantity that you're about to receive
I was like he doesn't want any more out
I just know it's a microphone
Okay
What are you most likely to end up in jail for
You're a bit of a hero
I know what you'll end up in jail for
If Alex saw someone being
If Alex saw a woman
A woman being mistreated on the street
Yeah
I think you would get involved
And you'd probably go
If I got a call
I know it would be
some vigilante shit that got you in there.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Yeah.
Do you have a cape?
Sorry.
It's like swears pants over there.
Just not tracks your bottoms.
No.
Yeah, that's probably.
Richard, I think you would be in prison for speeding,
continuously, and breaking the law while driving, probably.
That makes it sound like I'm a dangerous driver.
Okay, you're not a dangerous driver, but they're not a dangerous driver, but they're
been a few issues.
She's got potential.
Do you agree that that's probably the most likely...
Can we just put it on record that I don't drink and drive
because it makes it sound like I drink and drive?
No, no, of course, not drink and drive,
but, you know, there's been incidences, haven't there?
There have been incidences.
Yeah.
Mostly speed related.
Yeah.
Sometimes yellow box related.
Sometimes boring, stupid London laws I don't understand.
Like, why driving in the U-Lers bit?
Don't enter a yellow box unless you can get off it.
Dave, I know the fucking room.
She doesn't
That's why there's always something
There's always a letter at home
That's like last warning
Like court summons
The only time I've ever been yellow box
Is because there's a police car behind me
Not for me for someone else
And I got pushed in
And I did
If I'd have had the energy I'd have appealed it
But I thought it'd just be easier to pay it
So I did
So that was fine
How many courts
How many courts summons have you received
In your life?
Mostly council tax related
Because I'm scared of the post Dave
I've always been scared of the post
I have to open all of our posts
particularly brown
any brown envelopes that arrive
it's my duty as
husband
and there must be a reason
to this underlying fear
where did it come from
guilt I think
I think once the first time
I did something wrong
I got the letter
and I was so ashamed
that I'd done something wrong
so then I didn't want to deal with it
so I just didn't open the letter
because if
were you one of those kids
that when a letter
had to go back to your parents
it was in your school bag
and never went anywhere.
I was so scared of authority
there wouldn't have been a letter.
Like I'm so...
But look at her now.
Then I realised
when I was an adult
that if I just don't open,
no one needs to know.
I'm just not going to deal with it.
Until you're in court.
Well, what I found is a couple of times...
A great theory, this is.
It's not actually been that bad
because I found that when...
I'm not scared of phones.
So if you call them...
If you call them,
they're actually really nice.
It's not scared of.
No, they're really nice.
So...
When I got my first court appeal, I just rung the people at the court.
And I was like, oh, that at the office that had been sending me the letters.
I was like, I'm really sorry.
I just got a bit overwhelmed.
And they were like, no worries, just paid the bill.
And I was like, okay.
And then I paid it and then it went away.
And that's funny.
It's funny how it works, isn't it?
A couple of the first two.
She's going to put that head there.
Two times.
Two times for court.
Oh, yeah.
And I've not been yet.
Maybe three.
I'm not been.
Two speed awareness courses.
Anyway, sorry.
She will be in prison for that.
It sounds like it.
But since you set up the direct debit for the conject.
charge. I get way fewer fines.
Well, that's, yeah.
I used to get those a lot. Thanks.
I'm just saying,
I don't have one in ages, touch wooden whistle.
No wonder you're scared of your post.
I'm scared of my post too, all these fucking fines
flying in. I think you got done for speeding
there the other day. Did I? Yeah.
What? Is there? No.
Okay.
Oof, there's more to this. There's some legs.
I'd be in jail for something correlated, I think.
Don't you? Not knowing how to drive.
Yeah.
driving too slowly
genuinely
driving too slowly
on the outside lane
in the motorway
probably
can they ask you for that
well
I never go the outside lane
and I never do that
what's Dave
I don't know
what would I be in jail for
what would you be in jail for
suspicious social media activity
you'd be in jail for
whatever it is that you're hiding
I've been on the dark web
yeah
selling my breast milk
Wow
You're being there for the reason that you don't have social media
Which I'm still yet to uncover six years in
All right
They'll make a dispatcher's about Dave one
Yeah
What is your perfect pizza topping
What is your perfect pizza topping
What do you think EMS is
M's is spinach, garlic, mushroom
with vegan mozzarella
Yep, nailed that
Spinach caramel mushroom
That sounds really good
What's mine
You put fucking weird stuff on yours
You put red peppers on it
Which is red onions on it
Which is disgusting
Cockt or fresh
Fresh
Love that
Love that
Yeah
I never see beyond those
To be honest
When I just have
I just have your edge
Just a raw
I don't like raw onion
No I agree
You put peppers on it
Probably
Yeah
Yeah
But you put anything on it really
This is very true
But there's always
There's often red onions
On it which is foul
I like a porcelain of mushroom.
Maybe an olive you'd have on it.
I love an olive on a mushroom, yeah.
But he's not a consistent pizza order.
It's kind of whatever I'm in the mood for.
She seems to always be a red onion.
Because he's a pervert.
Because I'm a pervert.
I'm sorry.
This is rapidly going down here.
I'm in jail for dark web breast milk.
He's a pervert.
Thanks for coming.
Bread these rumours.
Okay, you two.
Sausage.
You'd have.
Sausage potato.
You put a sausage and
What you've
Sausage potato
Potato
Just
Just hold your horses
Let her finish
See what she thinks
Sausage potato
Potato
What kind of potato
Like mashed potato
Sorry
Like chipped potato
Like little bits of potato
Sausage
You haven't got past
Sausage and potato
Yeah
The posh sausage
That I can never
pronounce
And do you
I'm not going to say yes or no
Until you finish
Um
Rocket.
That's such a...
Sausage potato rocket.
She thinks that
because I have had a pizza
with, like,
it's like really thinly sliced potatoes.
Like the day thin world ones.
Yeah.
But that's the wrong answer.
Yeah.
So my answer would be
like goat cheese,
pine nuts,
parma ham,
maybe some like butternut squash.
It sounds like a really expensive salad.
Yeah,
but it's really nice.
And that would probably be something
along those lines, yeah.
And that's something you get at Granger and Co.
You had me until bussing up.
Yours would be a 23 cheese
with parma ham and red onion.
Yeah.
You got it?
23 cheese.
23 cheese?
I like a 4 cheese.
As many cheeses as humanly possible.
Love cheese.
Parma ham, because you can't obviously have that at the moment,
and red onion.
Yeah.
Right, you are the worst vegetarian I've ever met in my life.
I really am.
I don't want to talk about it.
It's been a really rough time.
Okay
Oh, what are you most likely to argue about?
My shoes probably
In the house, the dirt, the dog shit
Yeah
Yeah, probably
Or the fact he forgets to repract the pram bag
And it does my fucking head in
That would do my head in
Yeah, but funny enough
So we had a little argument about me
Having empty snacks in the pran bag
While we were out in a walk
So I'd bribe with food
Like, I have to
The kid screams, I'm like, what do you want money?
need, like, I'll give you whatever.
And so the thingy, the pram bag is normally got,
I buy these, like, long, melty sticks
because they take, like, hours to eat, exaggeration.
She gets through them, like, anyway, it takes time.
Got open the bag, two empty packets.
So at a glance, you're like, got this, just like,
empty.
Empty.
Which, I put my hands up, and it was a mistake.
You didn't put your hands up, though, did you?
You got very defensive about it.
The next day,
the next day, when M had been near the bag,
and been using it,
guess what she'd done?
Left an empty snap bag.
Yeah, she hadn't.
Show one, yeah.
I know.
Shame, shame.
I know you.
This sounds like that person at Christmas
who always gets a quality street
and leave the wrappers in there.
There's nothing worse.
My brother does that.
That's so disgusting.
And they're the people that you want to know.
It's offensive.
I actually am offended by Quality Street.
I don't like it.
I don't think I do.
Apart from the green triangles.
Yeah, but you would.
Why is there so much fuss about a Quality Street box?
Yeah, I'm kind of with you.
They started doing them in bags now.
Well, exactly, I know John Lewis
Seems like a lot of plastic
You can buy them individually
I like celebrations
Yeah, I'm more of a celebrations
That's how we announced our pregnancies
For my family
It was celebrations
We hid the pregnancy test in the celebrations
Did you?
And my brother was such a greedy little boy
He just grabbed
He went in there
He did to eat
He'd be gone in the same
And everyone else looked in their face
He's like ooh Maltisa thanks
And they named the Maltese
I was like no look again
But they were removed the truffles
Galaxy Truffles didn't they
Yeah they did
Which is a shame
But I'm not going to return to Quality Street
I'm going to continue with celebrations.
What was the last thing you guys argued about?
Oh, God.
What do you normally argue about?
She would have a go at me for a number of things,
but probably me getting out of the shower
and being like a dolphin on the bathroom floor.
Yeah, I can't stand that.
So obviously when you get out of the shower,
you're on the bath mat.
Yeah.
Dry yourself, but then there might be some water as well
on the bathroom floor, whereas she thinks
I'm like a dolphin, just stand on the floor
and sort of flat myself.
Literally.
This is a mentor image, I do not.
Because I'm imagining him
Lying on the bathroom floor
A bit like snow angels
He might as wild though
That's what it looks like
That really gets a goat, that does
I hate that so much
But it's all wet in there
Yeah
I get there because then you go
With your socks on
Yeah
Are we with those toes
Poked exactly my holy socks
Yeah
It's even worse
No I get that you do that as well
What do we argue about
Al not wearing a slippers inside
So
Because she has these long trousers that flare
And she could possibly fall down the stairs
And I'm like please put your slippers on the road
And I did
I fall down the stairs
when I was early pregnant, didn't I?
Yeah.
So I was like, please put your slippers on
and roll your trousers up
and it drives me potting.
Oh, your trousers are.
You shouldn't be telling to do that.
You're in your mid-30s.
You nearly said late.
You nearly said late.
But I didn't.
That was painful.
But you rent it.
Mid.
Someone here is in his late 30s,
90-40.
And in my prime.
Thank you very much.
Move on.
I'm in my late 20s, everyone.
Here you are.
All right.
Last one.
Finish off with the good one.
Okay, what was the worst present that you've ever been given?
By each other?
I know, full well, the worst thing you ever gave her
and it better be the worst, otherwise we're going to have to have words.
Okay, carry on.
What's the worst present?
It's really hurtful.
Yeah, what?
Whatever we're about to say, it's going to hurt the other one.
But I know I only give good gifts, so it's actually going to be really hurtful.
Oh, no, she's got something.
She has got something. She just doesn't want to say it.
And just say it's okay, I'll face the wall.
In the interim, please shed light on Edm's worth present.
To be fair, we're very good at gift giving.
Very good at gift giving.
Showoffs.
Why not?
I got my willy warmer once,
a Christmas one with tinsle on the top.
That's disgusting.
What's the worst?
Still use it?
We do still have it.
Yeah, Tinsle's gone, though.
It's like our socks.
Oh, God.
You gave me a drum for you.
I probably didn't like once.
Which jumper?
It's gone now.
To be fair, I'll counter that with you.
You got me a jumper that I have never worn once.
Which one?
I can't tell you.
Tell me.
But it's still on the house, see how to find it.
Oh my God, which one?
I can't tell you.
Tell me.
I can't remember the brand name, but it's got a stripe across the front.
What does it look like?
I'm so offended.
What does it look like?
But you're not doing this here.
This is a good context to Alex, right?
When I first met him, he wore elasticated jeans.
They had elasticated ankles.
I was in a boy band, Dave.
So, Mr.
is that an excuse?
Iron over here.
Now, now you can be
going to be a jumper.
Yeah.
Tell me all about it.
When did I get recently?
No, like four or five years ago.
Q.
Um, running home through that wardrobe.
Yeah.
Busted.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Will look good on me?
Yeah.
For sure.
You can borrow it sometimes.
So on the other side of the table, the worst gift givers ever.
Go on and Al, what's the word?
I've got, yeah.
I mean, every gift I've given you, it's been terrible.
You've only, you've lost, you lost the best gift I ever gave you.
Anyway, yeah, no, I'm not, no.
So, my birthday.
What was it?
To be fair, it was a really, it was a really nice present.
It was a Celine necklace, as an A on it.
So, no.
The nicest thing is, you know.
ever
only nice thing
you've ever bought
engagement
yeah
apart of the
engagement
which you know
you just cut up
which is now
oh my God
this has been
butchered
and I lost it
I don't want to talk
about it
was awful
so I was shooting
with Fifi
outside
and it broke
and I didn't realize
until later
somewhere in the streets
of West London
yeah
in COVID
I had
in COVID
I had a birthday
we were all
in lockdown
so couldn't
see anyone
fucking miserable
Obviously, it was my birthday.
Expected something.
So he went and bought like a little tart, like cake tart
and put a candle in it but didn't have a lighter.
So I got like an unlit candle in the thing.
And that was it.
And I was like, where's my present?
Okay.
He was like, I don't have a present for you.
A week.
He was like, oh, I've ordered it.
I've ordered it.
It's just a bit late.
A week later, okay, I received a pair of running trainers, right?
Have I ever run in my life?
No.
Did I have any plans to start running?
No.
Oh.
He bought me a pair of runs.
He's still gone?
Yeah.
And have they ever been worn?
No.
I don't even know what was going to your head.
But that's not even the worst.
So last year, we decided to do...
Oh, that's not the worst.
No, we decided to do Christmas presents by letter.
Yeah.
So pick out a letter each.
Yours was Q, mine was V.
I bought you a really beautiful desk plant called Venus.
That you killed quite quickly.
and yours was cute
you bought me a bag of quavers
a kiche
a small kish
and some quiltedly roll
and that's all I got for Christmas
Is that all you got for Christmas?
That's all I got for Christmas
Yeah it's not alright
But do you not feel guilty?
It's a really good question
No not at all
Do you not feel guilty? No
Okay
But you just got them a pot plank
Come on Al
That's a bit shit
Oh I know it's a beautiful one
And I got your nice little pot to go
In a little vase to go in it
It was really pretty
Some people just aren't gift givers
No, I really struggle with gifts
What was the worst thing she ever gave you, Dave?
A VR headset
Do you remember that, the racing game?
It's like an F1
It would be really cool
It was like bog standard like VR racing
I never even put the VR headset
Was it like here's a place for your iPhone
It wasn't like a meta VR headset
It was like it was a shit one
It was like you put the cardboard thing in
And all the rest of it around
It's like, you like racing, so you're going to love that.
I watch F1.
I mean, Greg.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
So, what are you getting into with us for Christmas this year?
Yes.
So Al has suggested a present that she wants to get me, but I'm like, I don't need it.
But the problem with Al is, I don't know, literally, there's nothing, apart from new socks.
No, I don't want anything.
So, anyway.
But don't take that, literally.
Can't go to.
It was sold out.
I couldn't replace it.
I tried.
It was so gutted.
when Al says she doesn't want anything
don't
I take that literally
don't trust her
it's a common mistake
that we fall into too frequently
as men
yeah if Alex ever goes to the shop
and he's like
the other day
he went to M&S
he said to you want anything
and I was like no
and I knew
and I think we both knew
if you came back with nothing
I'd have been
fucking devastating
she would have been angry
like literally angry
I'll always leave the statement
she doesn't necessarily
say no nothing
she goes
get me something nice
I do that I think
that is the worst
Our second thing.
Or surprise me.
Oh, I'll surprise you, all right.
Nothing.
A roast chicken.
That is the thing that upsets me the most, like, of everything.
When I say, when he goes to the shop and he comes back and I'm sitting there and I'm like, he's got me something.
Nothing.
That's brutal.
It's devastating.
It's devastating.
No.
I'd rather something I didn't want.
I'd almost rather the chicken, because at least I knew you were thinking about me.
The God should hate his dead.
He's a dead chicken.
Yeah, she'll love that.
Oh, God.
Well, this has been fun.
This has been really fun.
We didn't play the game, Daisy probably, sorry.
No, sorry, we really haven't played the game.
It was a very butchered kind of.
Mr. and Mrs. just like that dead chicken, her?
Yeah, butchered.
Oh, that was bad.
Thanks, Sam, for that.
You guys are just lucky I'm here.
I'm so, so, um.
You're doing so well.
I've been such a you're doing so well.
And look at you so pregnant.
Guys, this is our last time.
Well, today's the last day before these guys are going to have a baby.
Yay.
Can I just ask before you go, Dave, you're really excited?
I'm tremendously excited, yeah.
Simple.
He's so excited.
I'm 10% excitement and 9% fear and I feel like you're the other way around.
Well, you've got to go through some stuff and I've just got to be there.
I feel like you're going to go through some stuff too, Dave.
Well, yeah.
You will.
Not currently.
I feel like I'll go through stuff.
you go through stuff, you know.
Different stuff, but stuff, stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be great.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm so excited.
I'm so excited to you guys.
I'm just excited to find out what it is.
I know, yeah.
That I can't believe we don't know.
Yeah.
We had to go for a gross scan yesterday and as soon as we walked in, we were like, we don't know the sex, please.
I was like, I've got three weeks before the end.
Don't tell you now.
You're like batting them away with their little like extra machine.
No, no.
Don't look at the machine days.
I'm so excited to know.
Yeah.
I can't believe you don't.
I can't believe.
It's actually blowing my mind that you just don't know.
I'm convinced it's a boy, convinced.
Really?
Yeah, 100% of confidence.
I'm getting girl vibes.
Are you?
Yeah.
Dave, what do you think?
As you can imagine, don't have a buy into any of that.
It's a girl, it's a boy.
I just have no idea.
You have no idea.
Do you have any, like, imaginings for it?
No, don't mind if it's a boy or a girl.
No, that's really nice.
I thought I'd only want a girl, and then when I was actually pregnant and I was
like, I could see, I was really excited at the thought it might be a boy as well, and a girl.
Do you know what I mean?
You can imagine both kids.
Both.
Like, that's so exciting, so then you don't really care.
Yeah.
Controversially, I was, I really want to have a girl.
And I thought I probably would have been upset if we had a boy first.
Really?
Yeah.
But do you want a girl?
Yeah, I'd love a boy.
Yeah, okay.
But yeah, the first one, I was like, I really want a girl.
Want a girl, yeah.
Mad, isn't it?
Mad.
Okay, I'm so excited.
So excited.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
This day will be a dad.
Shit.
Yeah, you can start your daddy channel.
Daddy, Daddy, Dave.
Let's call it the Daddy channel.
It sounds so silly.
I'm supposed to see if the Daddy Channel is available.
Oh my God.
If it isn't, you've got to snap that up.
I'm going to buy it for him as a Christmas present.
The Daddy Channel.
The Daddy Channel.
You know it's a thing.
It's bloody not.
Is it not?
Well, watch this space, listeners.
Oh my God.
It's for the Daddy Channel.
Dave Mealy.
But I don't like the word channel at the end.
You shouldn't be the Daddy, do you?
The Daddy show.
The Daddy's so much better.
The Big Daddy.
No, they've been size into this.
Yeah, no, no, no.
It's not very inclusive talk, actually.
Sorry.
Sorry to the audience, I do apologize.
We're trying to make money-confidence space.
Big or small.
Be whatever kind of daddy you want.
Anything's fine.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, that's Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much, guys.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Thanks for filling in, because we couldn't get anyone else.
Good one.
Never again.
Love you, bye.
Bye.
Thank you so much for listening.
