Hello. Happy Thursday. Happy Thursday. Big day. Huge day. The biggest of the days. It is actually probably our biggest day in the podcast. Of our entire careers. I've got a full butterfly farm worth of trouble going on in my stomach because today, that was a horrible analogy.

It really was. I didn't like it. And you know the worst thing about butterflies, they are stunning. Yeah. But they start caterpillars. So that means. that I've got loads of caterpillar carcasses in my feet, sorry, in my stomach, and all the best shells. Daisy's like, guys, come on, come on, I can't.

Okay, so ignore all the dead caterpillars in my stomach. Gross. The tickets are available for general release today. You can buy your tickets.

Please come or don't, it's fine, but please do. Do it for me and all the dead caterpillars in my stomach. Stop it. Yeah, I felt such a horrible visual now.

And then, do you ever hear about the caterpillar massacre? No. No. Do you know what, Daisy? Fair enough. Fair enough. On that note, is it just me? Hello.

Hello. I'm welcome back. I should delete that. Oh, it feels so good to hear you say that. Ah, I'm back properly. First, is it just me? First is it just me back? 2024, baby.

Better late than next. Never. Do you know what? This is totally off script and we weren't supposed to do this. But can I just tell you about something that I was supposed to tell you on Monday and I forgot to tell you? Of course. I've developed an allergy to alcohol. What? Since being pregnant. That happened to Fliss. Did it? Yeah. Messages. She got a loaded to wine and she got all hive and you and stuff. I get hive. You get hive. Yes. Shit. Yeah. Shit. So I had a few tinnies, right? After he was born. I had a few tinnies. But had a few tinnies and was coming out in hives. Every time I had one. on, just a few, three. It's like a picnic season. He has tinnies in January. I love a good tinnie. And I thought, oh my God, I'm allergic to the nickel in cans now, or I'm allergic to

the aluminium or whatever it's made of. Anything but the alcohol? Yeah. And then... I was allergic to a pub, had an apparel spritz, came out in hives. I was like, uh-oh, the common denominator might be alcohol. Tested it, of course, with an elderflower Collins, like a such a mild, weak cocktail. You should have seen my face.

Okay, it might not be. Hives. Well, I hope not. You wouldn't be a very good secret alcoholic, would you? I didn't go for nine months without drinking to then not be able to drink because of an actual allergy. Yeah, that's really, you've got the opposite of me. I got gluten-free, gluten back. Yeah, that's so weird.

Isn't it? Yeah. That is really annoying. I'm still hung up on the tinnies immediately after. Why? There's just so much, like... Cocktails in a... I get it, but like, the few times in my life that I've had tinnies,

always road trips, not when I'm driving. hasten to add like on the way to a hendoo oh perfect yeah yeah love a good tinnie hide park in the summer yeah tinny the common theme is like group fun in the sun my mom always has tinnies in does she she always has tinnies in yeah in where in her pocket

just in a house you know go over and she's like you want a tini oh my god I love that yeah I don't know I do know now I'm questioning it. It's a very accessible way of having alcohol. Like, it's not, it's not the like, oh, I've got to, like, open a bottle of wine because then it's going to sit in your wine in the fridge for ages.

And it's not quite a beer because it's like, well, you're not watching the football, you know. You are a lady after all. I don't think it's very environmentally friendly. Tinies? Yeah. A tin's not? I'm getting a bit stressed about the environment. I actually can't talk about it today.

Okay. I just see litter everywhere and it just really upsets me. Fun story. Go on. I went for a run at 6 a.m. Sunday morning. That's stupid. Pious who. I had to leap over three piles of vomit.

That is exactly what you deserve for going for a run at 6am on a weekend. Forgive me that my child doesn't sleep. 5am is just the new eight. However, I have a question on the back of it. So I've been thinking loads about pigeons since we talked about them in the fact that they're domesticated and then they were just unloved one day

and now they're all just abandoned and they don't know what to do. And they've got like real Stockholm syndrome and we're their captives, but we just don't love them. like horrific and I'm really stressed about it anyway. And if you strip everything away, they're so cute and sweet. Do you don't even strip anything away? They're just cute. Everything we've been taught about them, you know? Yeah, 100%. If we get a prejudice. I know. Bastards. Anyway, the point of this was to say, I saw this pigeon 6am. Yeah.

Eating this vomit. Now, do you think the pigeon got drunk? Oh, good point. I know. You really stressed me out because then I was like, oh my God, I need to get him away, And I'm like, but I don't want to take them away from his only food sauce. And then I'm like, how desperate must you be that you're eating sick? But how sad that we've driven pigeons to a point where they have to eat vomit to survive? Yeah, it would have been Yeager sick. Yeah, it was all yellow. Oh, God.

It might have been a red bull and coke. Yeah. No, no, no. It was yellow than that. Vodka Red Bull. Now, that is a drink I could get behind. I would have one of those in years. The poor pigeon will have a heart attack.

It would be flying at 90. Probably died. Yeah. Probably fucking died. What a way to go. Because you see, like, you see dogs that they've eaten, they've, like, eat something that has alcohol in, and they get drunk. Yes, I think I told you about this.

Oh, dogs ate this blueberries. That's it. Yeah, that wasn't great. They didn't die, though. Well, they did. I mean, Dodger did ages. They were still alive, but ages later, it didn't die because of it. She's had a monster hangover.

Yeah, so I've been really stressed about that pigeon. And then I just thought, when I was running, I was like, someone's feeling absolutely terrible this morning. Terrible. There you are on your little jog. Sick on your own doorsteps. Not great. It was on the doorstep?

Well, it was on the doorstep. So unless someone was sicked up on there. I mean, I saw loads. I see it all over the place. There's always just a little splatter. I live in a great place. Little splatters. Also, it was after, it was just before Paddy's day.

Yeah. Alex's day. Gross. Claims it's the whole one. I'm like, you get Dad's date and you get your birthday. You can't just claim Paddy's day. It's like, all like, oh, we have to do everything for Alex. It's like, well, we don't.

Like, we'll wear Greek. There's a nice nod to the fatherland. Cute. That's quite cute though. Is he like, come on, like expectant. I think the problem was the first Paddy's day that he moved to the UK. You made a fuss. I made a cake.

I made a cake. Oh, you idiot. I never make a cake. What's that? Put four leave clover on it and everything. Oh, no. Because I felt bad for him because it's such a big thing in Dublin. And I was like, oh, he doesn't have any friends, like Irish friends here yet.

And like, no wonder he thinks it's this day now. I know. I know I've done to him what the pigeons, what humans of the past did to the pigeons. I lulled him into a false sense of security. I made him feel like everything was perfect. And then bam. Pray for Alex.

No cake for you. Yeah. Yeah. He had a shit pizza from Bella Italia. That's sad. Happy some Patrick's doing. You know the expression that I keep hearing and I wish I wouldn't? Go on.

Raw dogging. I've heard it like four times in the last month. What does that mean? Well, it's just like going in bareback, raw dogging. As in no condom? I think so. But Katia used it in the context of something like a sandwich. It's like, I'm going to raw dog that thing.

I was like, what the fuck? It was obscene. And then Georgie used it. Everyone just keeps talking about raw dogging. It's very graphic. He sounds violent. I don't know. It gives me a visceral reaction that of raw dogging.

You know, obviously I haven't eaten meat in like years, like years and years. There's something about a frank furtive, which is arguably the worst meat that I could think of really and you'd like that i don't think i actually would on reality but then sometimes i'm like hot dog would be nice then i can't have no actually no no no no because now i'm thinking about it go on ticot and type in how hot dogs are made it's disgusting you know i have never seen any of those seaspurity cowspiracy any of those videos like i i can't physically watch them they're horrendous and it's like i my imagination stopped me eating meat like the the simple fact that i was eating an animal stopped me eating it i don't need

all the like convincing on the other side. And I'm now, I'm like, people try and make me watch them. What more do you want from me? Like I already don't eat it. There's no point in watching them. No, they're horrible. They only serve as like propaganda to stop you eating them, which I'm already doing, so surely don't make me supper more. There's this TikTok that puts things under a microscope and it put a piece of hot dog under a microscope. It was so vile.

Is it bacteria? It was so vile. It was all, there was all like bacteria, like moving around in there. Have I told you about the worst? Little insects. Yeah, in the cod. In the cod? In the cod? Yeah, gross. Really bad. So, so gross. Really bad. Jesus. I know. Really, really disgusting. So I can never eat hot dog ever again. But then my friend Sove got poisoned by lentil the other day. She got food poisoning for like, I don't know. How? I don't know. But for three days she was out, I was like, I can trust nothing.

I can trust nothing. From a lentil? From a lentil. What does she eat? Like, just like a lentil soup or like what? Like? I don't know. She made her own lunch. She just made a lentil lunch. and then was really ill Oh But I've been thinking a lot about eating recently as a concept and it's so weird

Like you just I think it's because I have to watch Arlo do it all the time And I have to keep making her food Which is so weird Because as an adult You can just pop in and just like Buy a bit or graze a bit or just like With a kid you've got to like make

Also I don't eat nutritious food When I can't be bothered But with her it's like You have to You've got to eat nutritious food Yeah So I have to make nutritious food all the time. And then I'm like, how bizarre, I'm giving you this thing?

What's you going to chew? Are you going to really enjoy? Yeah. And then, um, gobble, gobble gone. And then you just poo it out. Isn't that bizarre? I suppose so, but it is a concept that I'm familiar with at this point in my life. You too, but like, I don't know, she also stops eating when she's, like, like, yesterday, I gave her half a petty flu.

And I was like, if I give her the rest of this, she's going to eat quackers. I love that yogurt. Oh, I know. I can't even have it, but wow. It just smells so good. But I gave her half the... And then she smells so good because she just smells from her baby and Petit Flu.

I'm like, oh! This is a heady combination. Anyway, yeah, it gave her half a Petty Flu and then I was like, I'm just going to hide the other half. If I did that to an adult, it would be barbaric. It would be a horrible thing to do. Here's half the delicious thing. And she wasn't upset?

Didn't care. I'm like, wow. How mature? She's so wise beyond her ears, honestly. If someone took away off a bit, I found a half made through a yogurt and someone took it away, I'd be absolutely devastated. I think it would depend because I get quite tired of yogurt quite easily. How often does that happen? I do get quite tired of it.

I don't know. I feel like there's only so much of yogurt that I can have. I love a yogurt. I would love a yogurt. They don't make the vegan meat ones, but bad hot. You remember the ones that, like, like corner puddings, like the ones where they used to be healthy. when I was a kid, I remember you used to get like a Muller's fruit corner and you could pull the jam into the, yeah. And then they just got progressively unhealthy and then Cabrries

started making them and it would be like you could just put the chocolate buttons in the yoga. Ah, that was a treat. That is so nice. After school delight. I wouldn't get tired of that. I would never tire with that. I tell you what I miss as well, Angel Delight, Buttercotch. They didn't make that vegan. Loved Angel Delight. That butterscotch, Angel Delight is something else. Do you know what? When we were in hospital after I gave birth, they served rice pudding. for it served like served us

dinner there's a rice pudding no they had rice pudding for dinner and it's like unlocked this absolute like obsession with rice pudding

and now I have rice pudding like almost every night do you yeah I love it so much you and Arlo both I've been trying to get loads of calcium

into her when she wouldn't take any milk I keep making it for her and thinking this is disgusting making it okay so I have to say that when I'm on the phone

to my mom because basically I told my mom that Olive wasn't having any milk and she was like oh it's fine there's other ways of getting you know she doesn't need milk

she doesn't need milk but she doesn't need you know like she doesn't need like formula or breast milk she's fine there's other ways of getting calcium in don't worry you can do yoghurt you can do cheese you can do rice pudding she's like rice pudding is a really good option and I was like cool I'll go and buy some rice pudding she went bye

you can make it and I was like oh okay I could and then she was like and this is how And then she spent ages telling me how to do it. And I was like, cool, cool. And she lost me at pudding rice, if I'm honest, because I'm like, where the fuck am I going to find pudding rice? Anyway, didn't make it.

But now I've been telling her, because I've been giving Arlo rice pudding. You do know she listens to the podcast. Right, okay, well, I've got a confession to make. I've been buying the rice pudding. Oh, my God, I could never make it. Oh, my God. It takes ages as well. It takes so long.

She said I had to put it all in the baking, but she did lose me at pudding rice, to be honest. Because it does sound quite easy. She wasn't talking for long. but when she said pudding rice I was like I just don't know where to find that And most places sell pudding rice Where? Supermarkets

As if you're telling me this Like you ask me how long to boil a bowl bean for I don't even know what pudding rice would look like at home It's it's right there with like Basmati wild What? Sticky rice pudding rice

No How many other puddings require rice? I don't think so No no it's definitely no it's in the rice section How is it a whole subset Like how many puddings need rice? rice in it. I also think it's the same type of rice as risotto rice. Isn't it funny that pudding rice is just rice pudding backwards? Yeah. Like why don't they just sell rice pudding? When you first said

pudding rice I was like oh she's got it wrong around. And then I was like oh no. No but I think it's risotto rice as well I think. Sticky rice. No sticky rice is different. Sticky rice is great. If I could make rice stick at home. Oh I know. Like sushi rice. Oh I wish I could do that at home. I would just eat rice. I wish I could make myself a pokey bowl at home. I'll make you a pokey ball. I nearly brought you one in today, you know. But it wasn't open because I had to be here at 10.

I know. I really want pokey bowl. I can't, you can't make it home. Alex made one last night that was just all kinds of all shades of wrong. He won't be listening. He put lentils in it. Ew. Weird.

Weird start. Gross. Baby corn. Oh, I like that. Oh, no, I don't like that. With lentils. Avocado. Yes.

Tofu. With sweet chili sauce. No, I don't like any of that really. It was really disappointing because he was, I'm making pokey bars. I was like, oh, yummy, yummy, yum. And then I got downstairs. I was like, ooh. Really?

This kind of pokey bowl? I was very polite. Oh, no. I ate the tofu and then put the rest away. I like poke bowls with the wakami in it, you know, the seaweed salad. I like the ones with the like crunchy one. It's like, is it spring onions? No, no, no.

What is it? Crespy onions. Yeah. You can buy that, you know. I've got tubs of it at home. So do I, baby. Yeah, so I'm going to make the pokey bowl tonight. I'm thinking, quinoa, maybe rice, but just maybe a bit of both, quinoa and rice, Avo,

chopped cucumber, yeah. Marinated tofu in lemon, garlic, agave nectar, soy sauce, and olive oil. Nice. The salt, that'll be delicious. In the air friar. Obviously. Obviously. And then air fried garlic kale.

Nice. And perhaps some spinach with my crispy onions on the top. Spinach wilted? Potentially, yeah. Nice. I think it's going to be absolutely stunning. Do you not need, like, some, well, you don't eat dairy, but like cheese or I don't know. Oh, no.

No? No, because I make this amazing dressing for the quinoa. Lemon, predominantly lemon. White wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon, salt, garlic and agave nectar. Put that on any rice dish and bank me later. Oh, Edomami and Broadbeens will go in there as well. Oh, yeah, I don't know. What's the pokey without an edamami?

You know what I mean? All these ingredients have, like, raised my stress levels. Sorry. How are you cooking? Are you cooking since somebody's been born? Are you starving? Starving. You're living your rice pudding? You're not putting pots? What are you eating? I would love to say that we've tried cooking but it's not, it's just not, it's just not. You know, how are you surviving? I know you go gales, I've seen it, girls, I've been to gales. I've eaten so many almond croissons. I can believe that. My body is half almond croissant at this point. Well, it looks great.

Thanks. On you. You look very flaky. I'm buttery. Yeah, I don't know. I don't talk about it. about it. I don't want to talk about it. It's embarrassing. Just haven't you ever did it last night. What did we have for dinner last night? We had edge of my seat. A ready meal. Oh, that's fine. Yeah. That's fine. I thought you're going to say something weird. Like, no. Something weird. No. I'm just getting my head around it all, you know. That's when I got into green chef. That's when I got into like the. I know. I

keep thinking we need to do that. But you know what happens? Like the instructions. Yeah. I just lose my mind over it. about cook the freezer meals that you can put in your freezer that that's what we had the ready meal oh nice yeah yeah yeah oh you do not want to be ashamed of that that is a pre that's nutritious yeah and delicious because they do 20% off every week for like a different meal every week so i feel like they don't do 20% off they're just 80% as expensive as they market themselves as being correct but it has me fooled hook line and tinker i'm a fucking idiot and i'm like look at me getting 20% off um you are paying full crotch well that's good that's good that's

That's fine. You don't have to be ashamed of that. That's practical. freezer food is godsend. Literally a godsend. Literally a godsend. And my brother-in-law, when we first came up hospital, he made us, he'd like batch cooked us meals to put in the freezer. What a babe. So nice of him. What a babe.

I know, so, so nice. Yeah, my mum would come over on Wednesdays. Cook us dinner. So nice. We ate once a week. There is no capacity for, I mean, there is, though. I could make. No, it's bloody hard. That's been like, oh, God. Oh, yeah, like scrambling around to cook it.

Once I've made an orlo, something delicious, I'm like, and then, but also I keep making her, like, food that would never be appropriate for an adult to eat, which always makes me sad because I think, well, that looks nice. Yeah. Like, I make these, like, little, like, sort of Spanish omelet, like things. Ooh. Yeah, these, but it's like, I make, like, these pancakes situations cheesy, so I could do them vegan for myself.

But, like, they just look delicious, and I don't eat them. I think it would be weird if I was, like, for dinner, I'm going to have what olive is having. Oh, they sell nice. They're really nice. Yeah, really nice. It was when I was trying to get her to do finger food and I had to put cheese and everything to make her to get out. And then pancakes, they held their shape.

Does she like it? She loves them. I call them like omcakes. Does she love like, feeling herself. Yeah. Just get in the hang of the spoon and I use the term loosely because yesterday she literally redecorated our house with mashed potato. Oh my God.

She takes it. That looks so stressful. But then she realizes that it's really fun to throw the food for Bua and it is the first time and then after that it's horrible because it's just potato. everywhere. And Buwa's loving life. Boa, but Boa, go, Boa sits there like, hi, yeah,

and then all it just points out of going, boo, boa, boa, boa, and then just every time, it's like, mouthful for me, mouthful for Boa, and then mouthful for mummy. It's so messy. I literally have mashed potato and tuna all in my eyebrows yesterday. I know, I was like pulling,

I was like, what the, what the fish flake is this? It's foul. Is she left or right-handed? Oh my God, I think she might be left-handed, actually. Like, what's the spoon? She's using her left hand for the spoon, actually. Is she? That's a good point. Is Alex?

No, but I'm all left side dominant I'm right-handed But I'm left-legged Kick with my left leg Strong with my left leg Lead in the left-handed Yeah, maybe so That's interesting

Maybe if I give it to her in a right hand She won't put so much on the floor Maybe that's the trick Maybe she's right-handed And I've just been giving her The wrong tool in the wrong hand Oh it's so nice We didn't really do any of it just means

No, we really didn't We just chatted so much shit Drunk pigeons and poke-bowls I'm gonna have a pokey ball tonight You're not though You're not I'm not. I always say shit like this, so that I never do it. You are the queen of good intentions.

I know. And I love that for you. I over promise and I under deliver. 80% of the time. That should be my new bio on Instagram, I think. That's nice. I know. It's sad.

Yeah. False promises. Right. We'll see everyone on Monday. We'll see on Monday. Normal service. Wait. Oh my God.

We didn't. Sorry. We didn't talk about it. How stupid are we? We should have opened with... We should have put this at the beginning. Daisy, please, when we put this at the beginning. We're idiots.

The most important thing, we missed. Well, you've heard it now. Tour tickets are going on to say, so what we're going to do is they're going to hear... You're going to hear this, and then you're going to hear this. So you're going to hear this. What we're about to say, you'll have heard it already. And it's going to sound really professional.

Don't worry, Al. Have they got this? Yeah, you've got this. I'm not with it. You've already heard it. You know, we didn't. So now we're just going to do the big. that data is going to take and put at the beginning, okay?

So, and then we'll go, okay? Okay, so. Okay, so that was an absolute cluster fuck of an announcement. But what did you expect? I'm all confused. Right, we're going now. We're going. I'm so confused.

My brain is so confused. Thankfully, Daisy is a very clever producer who will make this sound seamless. Right, we've got to go. She won't. She won't. There's like so much you can do. You can't polish your thirds. What do you want to do? Work a miracle.

Okay, guys, we love you so much. We can't make to see you on Monday. Bye. Bye. Thank you so much for listening. Should I delete that is part of the ACAST creator network.
