Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:18 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.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Alice, yeah. A and A. A. We are doing Mr. and Mrs. Excellent. Or Mrs. and Mrs. Mrs. over there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:41 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.
Starting point is 00:00:55 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.
Starting point is 00:01:10 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.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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.
Starting point is 00:01:31 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.
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:56 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
Starting point is 00:02:03 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 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.
Starting point is 00:02:29 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?
Starting point is 00:02:37 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.
Starting point is 00:02:46 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?
Starting point is 00:03:01 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?
Starting point is 00:03:14 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.
Starting point is 00:03:32 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,
Starting point is 00:03:44 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.
Starting point is 00:03:54 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,
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:19 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?
Starting point is 00:04:34 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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,
Starting point is 00:05:03 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?
Starting point is 00:05:14 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.
Starting point is 00:05:24 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?
Starting point is 00:05:38 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.
Starting point is 00:05:49 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
Starting point is 00:06:03 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?
Starting point is 00:06:12 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.
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:56 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:13 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,
Starting point is 00:07:24 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.
Starting point is 00:07:37 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.
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:08 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
Starting point is 00:08:21 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.
Starting point is 00:08:40 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
Starting point is 00:08:58 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
Starting point is 00:09:08 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
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:35 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.
Starting point is 00:09:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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.
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 What? You put tuna and leek in together. Edomare beans. Whoa. Tuna. Curry powder. Philadelphia. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:10:35 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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.
Starting point is 00:11:09 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.
Starting point is 00:11:19 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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
Starting point is 00:11:38 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
Starting point is 00:11:50 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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.
Starting point is 00:12:27 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.
Starting point is 00:12:45 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
Starting point is 00:12:58 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
Starting point is 00:13:09 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
Starting point is 00:13:33 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
Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:59 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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.
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:14:50 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
Starting point is 00:15:05 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?
Starting point is 00:15:14 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
Starting point is 00:15:27 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
Starting point is 00:15:39 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
Starting point is 00:15:48 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,
Starting point is 00:15:58 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.
Starting point is 00:16:08 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.
Starting point is 00:16:23 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.
Starting point is 00:16:33 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.
Starting point is 00:16:41 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,
Starting point is 00:16:55 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.
Starting point is 00:17:11 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
Starting point is 00:17:23 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
Starting point is 00:17:35 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
Starting point is 00:17:48 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
Starting point is 00:18:11 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
Starting point is 00:18:22 Which is red onions on it Which is disgusting Cockt or fresh Fresh Love that Love that Yeah I never see beyond those
Starting point is 00:18:30 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
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:59 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Sausage potato. You put a sausage and What you've Sausage potato Potato Just Just hold your horses Let her finish
Starting point is 00:19:20 See what she thinks Sausage potato Potato What kind of potato Like mashed potato Sorry Like chipped potato Like little bits of potato
Starting point is 00:19:30 Sausage You haven't got past Sausage and potato Yeah The posh sausage That I can never pronounce And do you
Starting point is 00:19:38 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
Starting point is 00:19:48 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,
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:13 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?
Starting point is 00:20:26 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.
Starting point is 00:20:38 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
Starting point is 00:20:55 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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.
Starting point is 00:21:27 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,
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:21:57 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.
Starting point is 00:22:10 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
Starting point is 00:22:20 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
Starting point is 00:22:30 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
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.
Starting point is 00:23:08 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
Starting point is 00:23:21 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
Starting point is 00:23:27 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
Starting point is 00:23:38 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.
Starting point is 00:23:47 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.
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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?
Starting point is 00:24:23 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.
Starting point is 00:24:45 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?
Starting point is 00:24:57 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?
Starting point is 00:25:12 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?
Starting point is 00:25:24 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?
Starting point is 00:25:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:03 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?
Starting point is 00:26:18 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 So, no. The nicest thing is, you know. ever only nice thing you've ever bought engagement yeah apart of the
Starting point is 00:26:44 engagement which you know you just cut up which is now oh my God this has been butchered and I lost it
Starting point is 00:26:50 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
Starting point is 00:26:55 until later somewhere in the streets of West London yeah in COVID I had in COVID I had a birthday
Starting point is 00:27:05 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
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:41 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...
Starting point is 00:27:54 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
Starting point is 00:28:09 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
Starting point is 00:28:20 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
Starting point is 00:28:30 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
Starting point is 00:28:47 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
Starting point is 00:29:01 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?
Starting point is 00:29:14 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.
Starting point is 00:29:33 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
Starting point is 00:29:43 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
Starting point is 00:29:50 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
Starting point is 00:29:58 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.
Starting point is 00:30:06 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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.
Starting point is 00:30:46 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.

Starting point is 00:32:10 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.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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.
Starting point is 00:32:38 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.
