Starting point is 00:00:00 Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the live recording of Should I Delete That? Thank you all so much for coming. I'm Daisy. I produce the podcast. It's nice to see all your faces. So please welcome to the stage, M, and Alex. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Hello. Hello. Hello. Um... We picked the most depressing song on purpose to come out to come out to. Yeah, we thought it'd be like ironic. And it just sounds a bit weird. It sounds a bit weird now.
Starting point is 00:01:00 But, oh, thank you. Guys, thank you so much for coming. It's just so scary. We've had a bad day. We've had, like, the most anxiety field. I woke up at 7 o'clock this morning to a text from Al. No one's coming. No one's going to come.
Starting point is 00:01:18 You are all fucking legends for coming out tonight. Honestly, I woke up and I got a miss call from my sister. And she was like, no one's going to turn up. Like, this is it. No one's going to turn up. The snow. Trains are cancelled. Tunes are cancelled. There was one point Al wasn't coming. She was like, I can't. I can't get out of the house. I can't get there. Please. Just try. We've got all day. You're all legends. Thank you so much for coming. Honestly. We are quite overwhelmed. I mean, we only had a cry, didn't we a little bit. It was bit weird. And it was been really nice to each other. And when you're nervous and you're like, love you. I didn't mean it. I don't know what I felt. I never hug. It was like, ugh. Before we start, we just wanted to say the biggest thank you to our sponsors today, Button Up Box, who have single-handedly kept this podcast going over the last year.
Starting point is 00:02:08 They sponsored our first ever episode back in December, and they are sponsoring our first ever live show today, which is a huge gamble. So, Chloe, in particular, we just want to say the biggest thank you, and we love you so much. So thank you. Yeah. No, it's really cool. They took a total chance on us.
Starting point is 00:02:29 like these two random girls, I'm like, I'm going to do podcasts in like a sea of podcasts. And they sponsored our first episode and they're here today. And it's, we love Button Up Box. It's a brand that, I mean, they started with rescue dogs, which is obviously something that we care about a lot. And they've literally helped so many rescue dogs. And I have a cool stat to share with you is that in 222 alone, they've donated 100,000 meals to dogs in need which is really cool and we're just yeah thank you to buttered up
Starting point is 00:03:04 thank you to chloe like thank you so much for taking a gamble on us honestly because who knows how it could have played out we weren't sure either so thank you no confidence at all we were just saying that out before we came out it's like this time last year we sat and had a meeting and it was really like it was even sadder than this morning like it's just we have to honestly if we have WhatsApp groups this is just if you search our WhatsApp chat which actually brings me on to my first is it just me of the day But if you searched our WhatsApp chat, it must be, no one's going to listen, no one's going to come, why have we done this?
Starting point is 00:03:34 And it's actually just such a full circle special moment to see like actual eyeballs and ears in front of us. So thank you. So I am going to kick us off with it, is it just me? Because this is and is it just me episode. And I saw. I'm drinking for three, by the way. Cheers, everyone.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And we would like to say if you want to drink for me and her, please go to the bar while we're talking. We won't be offended. It's chilled, it's relaxed. If you want to have a drink. Only house rule is that you please don't leave. Yeah. But we're funnier when you drink, so please
Starting point is 00:04:06 feel free to drink. But poor me. Just listening to us. No drink. Anyway, heaven is it just me to kick us off? I saw a meme the other day that basically said I can't just watch TV. When I do, I have to Google the main character,
Starting point is 00:04:22 the main character's star sign, the main character's marriage status, the main character's relationship with his parents. I was like, oh my God. It's me. And then it got me thinking. I was like, I bet I've Googled some really fucking weird shit this year. And then I went back on my Google search history.
Starting point is 00:04:36 And it turns out I have. So I've made a list. I'm excited to hear this. I haven't let Al here yet. I haven't heard it yet.

And you were like, yeah, and she died. And we were all like, oh, no. It's like, oh, God, that's really sad.

Starting point is 00:10:15 Yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Toy cars have doors Oh Oh Oh my god Oh shit
Starting point is 00:10:24 I should have written the answers to these As I was going through them How much does the average poop weigh How much does the average boob way How do you wear your boob I actually tried to do that So did that We weren't even together
Starting point is 00:10:41 It's tricky Yeah is it is Instagram down Which is like probably like 50 times a day How do you do a perinean massage? It's been a personal search recently. I got a full description though. Plus, yeah. Not a demonstration.
Starting point is 00:10:58 A visual, which wasn't great. It wasn't really necessary. It wasn't really necessary. It doesn't look fun. Should I cut a fringe? No. No. No. It's the expression,
Starting point is 00:11:09 you've got to be a certain kind of person that we are not to make a fringe work. You've got to be, you have to be all, collected, calm, that like, you've always got it together and like you always kind of look immaculate. and you're always good at, yeah, exactly. You're always like, it's always
Starting point is 00:11:25 it's always like, it's always like, but if you're not like that, it's fucking chaos. It's just sad. Every time I go in the wind, I'm like, what's like curtains? I hate it. Hence the updo. Is the expression no holds bard?
Starting point is 00:11:40 I feel like we spent ages on that one. We did. That's a stupid expression. Lady Garga star sign, Louis Capaldi star sign, Harry Kane star sign, Prince Harry star sign, King Charles Star sign and King Charles Fanny. so that's basically been Google
Starting point is 00:11:54 well done thank you very much um yeah it's really and I feel like that doesn't even scratch the surface of what we've googled during this podcast and poor Daisy who edits our podcast honestly because every two minutes I'm like and stop I've got to Google this sorry and Daisy has to cut out the next two minutes of me being like
Starting point is 00:12:14 there's so much that you don't hear a lot of it me birthing and I'm being sick in her mouth. Bad times, though, yeah. Sad times. I don't know why Gavis gone haven't come to as sponsors yet, to be honest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Missing a trick. That's a good show. Yeah, the difference between me and you is that you will, if you're like, I'm not sure about this, I'm going to Google it, whereas I'm just like, oh, you're confident. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:40 No reason to be confident at all, clearly, and I'm just learnt nothing. But I hope you've enjoyed all the misinformation that we've given. you over the past year because it's been a lot um so i have an embarrassing story and i'm like being careful of where i look because this embarrassing story belongs to someone in the room today but i do not want to reveal their identity because they are very keen not to be revealed so they will remain anonymous and being careful of where to look but here we go are you ready i've kept this
Starting point is 00:13:15 from you and it's been difficult because this is such a good fucking story Um, okay, they have a cough. Thank you. Thank you so much for the warning. Uh, it's a quick cough. Okay. So, basically, I was in year 10 and I wasn't academic, so I hated exams, but I was very conscientious and just desperate to do well, okay? I had my biology GCSE exam and the night before I was trying to learn about photosynthesis. God love you, that's hard. Okay. Still don't get it. I just wasn't getting it. So I just started to get myself in. estate relate i pulled an all nighter but i still couldn't get it and these were before the days of readily available googling because that's the thing now we have tic-tock do we is like a facial synthes explained and like you would type that into ticot yeah yeah i live on ticot i'm so i'm so jenzy don't want to brag but who explains it is like a no it's amazing but who made that ticot sorry well like a lot of people honestly
Starting point is 00:14:19 You need to know, TikTok's a new Google. You heard it here first. So, these were the days before the readily available Googling. The morning of the exam came, and my dad told me that if I took Barocca, it would help my memory and calm my nerves. That's not true. It's not good for caffeine.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Hangover, no? Yeah, I used to just sit when I worked in an office of a hand if I had it on my tongue and just sit there and I'd just try and make it look like I was fine. And that was my challenge. That's bad. Super intense. Anyway, carry on.
Starting point is 00:14:49 so her dad told her that if she took barocca it would help her memory and calm her nerves to have maximum effect I took quadruple the recommended dose because I thought that would help my memory four times more and carve my nerves four times more and I see her logic like that makes sense right to a younger brain actually just to my brain that's all makes sense I started the exam with four barocca inside her
Starting point is 00:15:16 I was shaking because I was so nervous the barocca wasn't helping my memory nor my nerves and the concept of photosynthesis was still not in my grasp about 20 minutes in my stomach started feeling really strange yeah we know she's in the room she's in the room I'm scared to look up yeah it got crampy and it started hurting but I still had a lot of the paper to finish and not enough time Okay? This is crucial. Not enough time. So I try to just ignore the sounds and the sensations and the pain and continue. But the cramps got stronger. I was, however, dedicated to doing my best in this exam and was strongly against wasting any precious exam time in the toilet. I think we know what this is going, don't we? And so you see my dilemma. Rather than go for the sensible option, which would be to go to the toilet and maybe ask if I could get the extra minnics back, I shit myself in my GCSE exam at the age of 16 I took the decision
Starting point is 00:16:26 to shit myself no it's not a decision and I blamed it on something else but that's a story for a different day P.S I got a B in biology so thank you Dad for the tears Yay! Taking a decision
Starting point is 00:16:42 like it's such a moment to have with yourself just like yeah but what I do get It's like when that urge comes on where you're like, it's like, it's like go time, show time. Like, I've just got to go. Show time.
Starting point is 00:16:54 There is no, like, there's not much logic in my brain. It's like, it's like an animal urge, like, in sync comes over to you. And you're just like, I've got to find the nearest toilet. It's not just like, I'm just going to sit here and do it. I'm just going to sit myself and, like, just see what happens. I never chat myself and I don't want to show off with that. But I do kind of want to know, and if anyone wants to answer it.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Oh my God, does anyone shit themselves? Well, it's not so much of that as for the question. It's more, do you know it's about to happen? You're just kind of like, I'm going to do it. Or is it like, oh, fuck, it's happened? Is it the first or the second? There's a man in here. I'm not going to say here, but...
Starting point is 00:17:32 Hi, Dave. It was definitely shit himself before. On a plane. That's really sad. My nephew, he's 18 months, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, well, he can shit himself. Give him a break. He just normalised it for us, okay?
Starting point is 00:18:04 No, since he's gone to nursery, we've all, our family, a collective family, we've never been so ill. That's when my nephew has gone to nursery, and we've had a few stomach bugs, and we've all suffered along the way. Dave, more than others. Anyway Noted Naming no names We've been on a trip together We can meet you there
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah Yeah yeah Okay Now I have an embarrassing story To read of somebody else That's in the audience So I'm not going to look up either Although actually
Starting point is 00:18:31 It's an anonymous story If you want to claim it If you want to claim it You're totally welcome to You probably won't I was in my second year of university And having sex with my boyfriend My boyfriend
Starting point is 00:18:42 Always wears a chain With a cross on it He was on top And just before the finale His cross came off his chain and fell straight into my mouth It immediately became clear that the cross was lodged in my throat
Starting point is 00:19:01 And I couldn't breathe I mean like what a way like divine intervention My boyfriend was frantically My boyfriend was frantically slapping my back But it wasn't coming out The situation was quickly becoming an emergency and so despite being naked, my boyfriend was shouting for help from our housemates. Fortunately, because obviously this has been sent in by somebody who did survive,
Starting point is 00:19:26 the cross came unlodge just before my flatmates had to see us both dark bollic naked. On reflection, I am an atheist, so perhaps this was a sign from a disgruntled God trying to prove me wrong. Ten years later, we're still together, but whenever I see his cross dangling from his neck, it's a sign that we need to change positions immediately. maybe not quite the sign that God intended. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Honestly, like I... Did you spilt it everywhere? Al loves the clap. Does anyone know that about... No, I can clap. Alex likes. She just loves the clap. Thanks for laughing. Yeah, I went on a hen party in the summer
Starting point is 00:20:12 with an A&E doctor who was telling us about... all the things that have been found up. And I actually think that that is somewhat more embarrassing because there's no other way that it got in there. Didn't want to claim it, by the way. Totally don't have to. No, you don't have to. Don't have to.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Fair enough. Yes. Oh my God. Amazing. Wow, what a story. Thank you so much for opening up to that. You're a legend. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:20:40 That's brilliant. That's brilliant. But that's what you get. you know, sex before marriage, that's what you care. God's like, hey, I will curse you for that. Oh, mortifying. But I do fully respect or religions. Just to make that clear.
Starting point is 00:20:54 All religion. Fully respect. Didn't mean it. Sorry. Okay, where were we? So I've got an embarrassing story that I do love because it's happened to me once before. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:10 This person is also in the audience. This person is in the audience. Yes. are the best. Humans. I booked myself in for a bikini wax, and I hadn't really thought about what I was wearing until I got there. I was in a jumpsuit without a bra. The realization quickly dawned on me that I would need to get completely naked for this appointment, absolutely mortified. I explained my dilemma
Starting point is 00:21:46 and gratefully accepted a small modesty towel to help me feel slightly less exposed. That must have happened so many times. But we were talking about this with someone the other day who remained nameless about going to a guinea appointment and they said you can take off your trousers and then just get on the bed
Starting point is 00:22:05 but you can keep your shoes on and she said she took off her top of their trousers but just had a top Martin thought So it's like you come in and it's just like, ooh, it feels deliberate, doesn't it? It feels intense, feels on purpose. Yeah, you've got to be completely, like, you can keep your socks on. I don't think you should ever keep your socks on. That's just feedback in life.
Starting point is 00:22:29 How weird do you look when you're naked, but just with socks on? Like sometimes I'll do that, like when you get undressed or dressed in a weird order. And you just look at yourself in the mirror, it's like, oh my God. Do you know what I think is sinister? Sorry, this is so fucking weird. When men are like, they've got... When Dave. Sorry, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:50 They have like a top on, right, like a t-shirt on, the no box. But Winnie the Pooh! I love it! I'm like, oh, she's just very sinister. Like, if you're completely naked, like, that's different, but if you've got the top of you here and then, it's just like, I don't know, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I really don't like it. So obviously he does it every. Dave, he's like, look at this. I love you. Oh my God. I just... I mean, it's something about like this bit being dressed
Starting point is 00:23:26 and this bit being not dressed is so sinister. It is Winnie the boo. Like a porny one. It's it. But when he just was a crop top. Oh, guys, I went to an event the other day and I literally looked like Winnie the Pooh. It was a sponsored event.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Do you pimper? And I hit my pump and I was throwing like a maroon top and yellow trousers. I looked in the mirror. I was like, oh, you did, you did. So bad. I was like, I've got to go. This is the outfit.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Got to go. Did you ever share that properly on Instagram? Actually, yes, and I got a lot of DMs being like, love you, but you look like Winnie the Pooh. Fair enough. Yeah. Getting dressed in and out of context. I did it the other day as well where I just kept my shoes on.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And it's so weird. Like, but then I think about it all the time. I'm like, why do we have to wear socks and shoes? When dogs, like, it just seems really bad evolutionary, evolutionarily. Is that the word? Yeah. I don't know. But you have to wear socks and shoes.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I do feel bad for the dogs in this, though. And I did say today, can we buy Betty's and boots? Have you ever seen a dog in boots? Dogs on Instagram that wear boots and they're like, it's like cats. When they put something on, they just completely lose all sense of, like, balance, and they're just like flop. Yeah. But it's so cold for them.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Why do you think we're weak? They're hardy. We just have, like, failed ourselves from an evolutionary standpoint, in my opinion. Do you think? Yeah. I'm fine about it. I love shoes. Apparently you should rub Vaseline on your dog's paws at the moment.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Why? At night time, because they can get, sorry, I've got a series. Because they can get cracked in the snow or the cold because of how cold it is. So if you rub Vaseline on them. The TikTok teach you that. At night time, it actually did. Oh my God, why did we not? We did my whole Google.
Starting point is 00:25:10 and we didn't do a single thing of things you've learned from TikTok. I've learned so much from TikTok. But I'm like way better at TikTok than you and I'm a lot older than you. I can't do, I can't get it. Like I've got it and I get it in that I'll watch the videos. But I just, I can't like, I just feel old and I feel sad and I just feel stressed. Everything just makes me feel very frantic. You've got to fight, you've got to like find the right side of TikTok, I think.
Starting point is 00:25:36 And that just takes time. You've got to manipulate your algorithm. Yeah. But then I do it because I've got into a weird thing with the TikTok boys recently. Oh, you do like a TikTok boy. Well, no, I didn't. But then you see one and then they just keep coming. And now every time I go on, I'm just like, I don't need you here.
Starting point is 00:25:50 But I don't know how to get rid of you. And now they're just there all the time. It's distressing. It's really distra. It's a very, it's a genre. The, like, tongue goes everywhere, like all over their face. And it's like, bite their lap. Yeah, I can't.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I don't know. It's obscene. It is obscene. Continue to make videos of us. it please I of course but that's the other thing with TikTok is admit like the misinformation that exists and I don't know if anyone saw my Instagram story today but we shared a post on the should I delete that Instagram page of a juice bottle being like my whole life's the lie because it shows that the straw goes in and like that rather than just in anyway I got
Starting point is 00:26:27 a misinformation label from Instagram like this is fake news it did but then also like which bits fake the straw going straight or the straw going I know so Instagram you're wasting your fucking time if this is is what you're bothered about? Fucking straw in a carton. I know. Like, come on. Do better.
Starting point is 00:26:46 What is this? And we've got like stupid like, oh my God, every time I open up Facebook, I don't know if you saw it, I shared on stories, I opened up. I keep going on Facebook. I don't really know why. I haven't been on it for ages. But I quite like to see like what old, you know, like school friends are up to and stuff. And if he's in hospital.
Starting point is 00:27:03 See how much further on in life they are than me. Yeah. What their third child looks like. and I get these like it was this ad for supplements and it was like great date night idea take this supplement
Starting point is 00:27:19 did you see it it was like take this supplement and then just go to sleep for 10 hours wake up Lena and I was like that's a terrible date idea I'm going to give you like something that makes you go to sleep for a long time
Starting point is 00:27:30 like that's just weird for 10 hours and then wake up yeah Slimmer why do you have to do it with a partner isn't that like a solo actor I don't understand it's bad it was bad
Starting point is 00:27:38 I don't know but I physically don't understand it. Oh, I thought it was meant like an activity you can do together. Hey, are you looking to lose five pounds? Oh, okay, okay, maybe. But it's a great date night idea. No, you know, it said like come over. That makes more sense.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Take this, go to sleep for 10 hours and like wake up leaner anyway. I just don't like Facebook. I just feel old and I feel sad. Yeah. But I don't like it. No, I like Instagram. And I don't mind TikTok. I like TikTok on a Saturday morning.
Starting point is 00:28:07 TikTok's fun It's my only time Any other time I just feel like You have to commit to it Because you've got to scroll And then sometimes it's like I guess it's like gambling
Starting point is 00:28:15 Because you'll go through it And then it's just like Oh god this is really like I need something good I need the payout Because I've sat here for ages And nothing's been good So I have to wait for something good
Starting point is 00:28:23 We were going to end the first half By talking about something a little serious And that's only the point of this podcast Was for us to talk about the things That we feel like we've learned Or grown or changed our minds about because that's the thing about social media that we don't always love, is that it's not the easiest to change your mind.
Starting point is 00:28:43 So we just thought we would say something that we've changed our minds about this year as we've been on a journey. We have not found a word better than journey. Still journey. Yeah, that we've did something that we feel like we've evolved from. So kick us off. And if anyone wants to, I know this is really like put you on the spot, but if anyone wants to like say something that maybe they've changed their minds about as well,
Starting point is 00:29:07 throughout all of this like you like feel free to do it but don't feel put on the spot um i think one big thing for me was i think before we started this podcast i was very and i still am very like black on black and white in my thinking like all or nothing and i think the uh i had like a bit of beef at the start of the year didn't i when i like called this celebrity out for doing this like weight loss program and it was someone that had initially like previously like capitalized off of being body, you know, body positive. And then one of our first interviewees was Holly Hagan from Gehaw and she totally offered me another perspective on the whole situation on like why someone might accept money and also being involved in diet culture. And I think it's
Starting point is 00:30:05 It just, I think it gave me a lot of compassion and a lot more empathy for things that are outside of my lived experience. And I think that's what this whole year I think has taught me as well, like talking to lots of different people and just learning and just seeing other perspectives and other points of view and people's different experience, I think, has been really invaluable for me. And just, yeah, to like be more compassionate, I think. I agree, which it's kind of annoying because it's like, totally. my thing also.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Sorry. She was speaking. I was like, God, this sounds good. I'm sorry. But I agree. We were talking with this at lunch, actually. I think it's really easy to feel attacked when you work, well, when you're sensitive.
Starting point is 00:30:51 And when you work online. Well, it is easy to feel defensive, I suppose, when you're insecure about things. And when you go and make a decision to be vulnerable online or whatever, it's therefore quite easy to feel, again, a tactual defensive when people criticise or whatever. And I think before we started doing this, I was very just like, can't. And I've learned over this last year to be a lot more just willing to move with other people's opinions to take other people on different days. And actually, I think a massive part of that's been having a colleague, another colleague. We've, like, it's kind of a weird job. And then you learn, because this has been amazing for our
Starting point is 00:31:30 friendship and kind of intense because I'm going to be honest guys this was not a well-thought-out podcast like we didn't sit for like a few months being like we're really good friends let's do this thing we kind of knew each other quite well randomly got matching piercings last august when we really didn't know if we didn't know we were not for lunch quite bold yeah we'd really know to know the world got a bit drunk we're like should go get piercings got piercings i was like that was weird not nipples sadly we'll do that for like actually i don't want to do that I don't know why I said it And it would be weird
Starting point is 00:31:59 That would be super weird That would just be a lot for us Anyway Got matching ear piercings And yeah we just We didn't have the We didn't have the super foundations It's like
Starting point is 00:32:08 You know some people have podcasts And they're like We've just been best friends for years And we just have the best chats We didn't have that So we just We really liked each other But we've had to learn
Starting point is 00:32:17 Over the last year How to really work together And we've become really great friends And it's been really nice And I hope it's made me a better person So I just want to thank Al and our amazing team for giving us a great year.
