Hello, hello, hello, hello more than once. I hate saying hello more than once. I hate it. I can't just say it once. What do you speak? Hello, weird. Hello, hello, hello. Missing the third. And then you say it three times and it's just weird. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello. I hate it. Hello, hello, hello. We need to find like a good way to start off this podcast because we just never manage it. It's horrible. I'm not even going to let us do this any longer. Let's just go. Okay, good enough. I've gotten, is it just me? It's my own. It's my own. Is it just me? And I can't remember who I was talking to about this other day. Maybe it was you actually. Can you eat on the loo? Absolutely not. And I don't mean like take a meal to the loo. I mean, you know, I'm sorry guys. I'm just going to go and take my breakfast somewhere.

No, I mean like, you know sometimes, I don't know, like, okay, let's say you're having a chewy breakfast. You're on the way to the loo, you see a sweet, like a tangphastic, and you're like, oh, yum. And you put that in your mouth, and then you go to the loot, and then you sit down and you realize that you're still chewing. Because that is probably the most traumatizing thing that can happen to a person. When I realize that I have food in my mouth and I'm on the loom, I'm like, I have to hold my breath in case I breathe in through my nose and any poop particles go in the way of the food, and then I have to swallow them. I don't know if that's the science, but it feels like it. I feel like that is the science would love anyone's

expert advice on this but I think it is because isn't there just like poop particles in the air and then you're just ingesting them I mean we're probably ingesting them anyway but like you don't want to add to it but you also don't want to taste it like I'm like a sniffer dog always have been

my sense of smell is so strong so even like when I'm eating if I smell something while I'm eating that's what I'll end up tasting oh gross yeah really bad but it happens sometimes about. I just remembered it was Jenny, manager Jenny, who I was talking to,

and she went to the loo, and she came back from the loo with a mouth full of food. I was like, have you? And she left for the loo with a mouth full of food, and she came back from the loo with the mouthful. I was like, if that's the same mouthful, there's something wrong with you. Gross. Yeah. Gross. But she said she just had to stop chewing. When she sat on the loo, she's like, I just had to stop chewing and just hold it in my mouth. If I had like a boiled sweet or something, I could continue to suck on it.

But I couldn't, I don't think I could actively chew on the loo. No chew on the loo. I'll get good rules good let's put that on a magnet no chew on the loo um nice anything else for me okay so I actually have a voice note today modern I know so modern so professional um and if anyone actually would like to submit there is it just me as a voice note because sometimes it's just easier than than like writing a long email you can record on voice memos and then just send it to should I delete that pod at gmail.com or you can send the voice notes to our Instagram account via DM. So here we go. I'm going to play it. Hello, hello. I just wanted to say

I love the podcast. I've got an Is It Just Me that I thought I'd send in because it's very specific and I want to know, is it just me? So when I'm led in bed at night and I can't sleep, I count to a thousand in my head in increments of a hundred. But for every hundred, I count in the theme tune of a different song. So, for example, I could do, got to get through this by Daniel Beddingfield. And in my head, I'll go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Um, God, I got too into that. But I basically want to know, is it just me, or is anyone else also very unique and use this method to get to sleep? Thank you. Oh, my, I love that.

I'm obsessed with her. One, two, I am going to be doing that from that, yeah. Wow. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, no wait. Yeah, yeah, that's good, that's good. 11, 12, oh my God, that's just so good. Wow, can we have another song?

Think of another song, any other song. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, five, six, seven, eight. No, no, no, no, wait, five, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 3, 3,000, 21, 22, 3, 3, the 4. I love that Alex just heard that. I mean, like, came in and closed the door, like, I'm sick of your shit. What are you two doing now? Fuck sake.

Oh my God, that is the coolest thing I've ever heard in my whole entire life. I'm so inspired. But also, I'd say, she must be a really musical person because that wouldn't come easily to me. I think I would, I think it would keep me awake trying to, like, think of my music. next song i'd be like oh god and then oh you can hear Alex upstairs i've asked him to help me pack we're going we're going to we're going to Manchester in a minute guys like literally in a minute we're going to Manchester I'm actually sweating thinking about it not Manchester just travel I hate leaving the house um maybe I should start counting in songs so she goes to a hundred

in one song and then the next and then the next hundred a different song yeah yeah love that it's it's actually brought up a um and is it just me for me it's a bit of a disgusting one So fair with me. Is it just me? Or do people enjoy spot-popping videos? Because that's how I get to sleep. You've asked this before and there were crickets in the DMs. Yeah, nobody.

Have I? Although, no, you have. You and I have definitely talked about this. But can I, that's very timely. Is it just me from you? Because my DMs this week, oh my God, this was so gross. My stories, right? I got a cheer.

No, I had a meeting on my. they got cheer seeds stuck in my teeth and I was like oh I got a cheer seed stuck in my teeth and I can't get it out and somebody said why don't you use your hair as a tooth flog as dental floss right so I tried and inevitably my hair just snapped and then I had a

cheer seed and a piece of hair in between my teeth which was fucking gross anyway I then said like and then somebody else was like oh I use my earring and like people had all these whatever things pretty gross things so then I put a question box up being like are you gross if you are like what do you do when no one's looking and they're all fucking feral

but a lot of people do the spot squeezing and watch the spot squeezing and like actively see them out but my question is where are these people and also these accounts have hundreds of thousands if not millions of followers so people are enjoying it but why can I never talk about this with people in real life whenever I bring it up they're like fuck off that's disgusting your rank I get it so where are these people yeah I know what you mean But it's not, it's not the, it's not the cool, like, it's not like the, it's not sexy, isn't it? It's not, obviously not, but it's not, I don't know, it's not mainstream. It's definitely not sexy. No, like, it's not, like, okay, some of the things that people do, right, that were coming up, although, I mean, a lot of people pick their nose and eat it. Um, no, they do. Yes, they do. That was the main one that came, yes, they do. Okay. That was the main one that came through. I think we've talked about this before, but I still don't have an answer to what is the, what is the. incentive for eating once you've picked what is the incentive but i'm just i'm feeling a bit sick today i don't want to dwell on these spots i don't want to turn on eating it but while we're here

while we're on rank things that humans do they pick their nose and eat it don't dwell just don't think about it we'll just skim over it they fart in their own hands and then smell it the most danger yeah cupcake yeah people are cupcakeing themselves though themselves yeah what the fuck it do you look you look like a woman that does that no but i i have i mean i don't want to out anyone but I know a lot of people who do that. Fuck me, I don't, thank God. A lot of people bite their own toenails and eat them. No, that, no, hang on.

But that's also admirable flexibility. I love that. There is way too much to unpack there. Okay, first of all, how are you biting your toenails? Well, I'll show you, but I think this is, like, it's pretty easy to get this to my mouth because I'm super flexible, but I think this is a really good example of just because you can, it doesn't mean you should.

Do you know what I mean? But, like, things, like, amazing tools exist, you know? You bought... Yeah, like, nail tipers. Nail scissors? Why would you choose to bite them yourself? This gets worse. Like, honestly, some of the entries that we had,

one girl was squeezing her tonsils, and I don't understand how. Squeezing her tonsil stones. Okay, so this is really gross, but that is something that these spot-popping videos often feature as well, is removal of tonsil stones, and it's fascinating.

It's fascinating, because you can't see them, and then suddenly, they pop out. Sorry. We're not dwelling. We're not dwelling. I can't. I can't. I think I've had too much exposure to it. But then high risk, high reward. One person, actually this happened a couple of times, puts a Kirby grip, like a bobby pin up their nose. Yeah. To trigger a sneeze. I used to do that. Alex, that is the most dangerous and reckless thing I've ever heard in my life. No, not a hair grip. I used to, I used to, I actually went through a phase of this. It was quite weird. But I used to like, wrap up tissue and make it into a point and then like trigger myself to sneeze. Yeah. I went through a weird phase of that actually. That was really strange. That is strange. But at least it's safe. Like a tissue, you know what I mean? Like, fine. Like really, I mean, it's weird. It's weird, but it's, you're not going to hurt yourself. But imagine, right? You just get, you put that up there, then you sneeze. But like,

how do you not stab yourself in the brain with a Kirby grip? How are you going to explain that to a doctor? Well, obviously, but what if it comes quickly? Well, if you're doing it and then bam, sneeze. Do you know you can't keep your eyes open while you sneeze So every time I sneeze now I do like this Because I just find it interesting That was the wrong medium To do something visual there But I'd like hold my eyes open

Because it fascinates me I think you'd be better So I've put your hands over your mouth while you sneeze Like we are still in a pandemic Yeah Well I mean I'm not in public going Everyone's like watching out on the train Eyes wide open

Snotting all over them Okay so I've got a lot of that I've got a little, this is just me, that came in via the Instagram. It's, I mean, it definitely isn't just you that sent this in, but it elicited a really amusing memory. And I don't think my mum listens to the Thursday episode, so it's a really good opportunity to tell the story and embarrass her. Okay, love that.

But somebody sent a message saying, is it just me that has to eat their wheatabix soggy? I have to use loads of milk to make it soft and soggy, because I hate crunchy wheatabics, which I think is fairly common. I think that's the point. I think it's supposed to be really soggy, right?

That's it, that's the DM. So, yeah, like, you're not alone. That's how you eat it. It elicited in memory. My mum, once a few years ago, on my birthday, I told you this. It's like, I don't think so. I'm 26th or 27th birthday or something.

Anyway, we went out for dinner, we were on the other man, having a lovely time, went out for dinner, came back. It was just my mom, me, a couple of my friends, Alex, like, whatever. It was really nice, having a really nice time.

And we were playing odds-on. You know, the game that's like, I don't know, odds on you go outside the room and scream i like shoving cotton wall up my bomb really loudly and you tell me like you tell me what the odds of you doing that are and you'd probably be like i've never been here before i don't any of these people i really don't want to do that so it's one in a thousand no one in a hundred like i really don't want to do it one in a hundred so then we both go three to one and say a number between zero and a hundred and if we get the same number then you have to do it

it and then you can reverse it right but if it was like oh i dare you to like tap your microphone you'd be like that's obviously i'll do that so it's one in two do you see what i mean so that's how the game works so we were playing odds on having a lovely time and for some reason my mom odds on herself to eat an entire wheatibix dry so no one asked her to do this you know we were all like and she was like i bet i bet i can't do this and we were like okay and she basically effectively odds on herself to put a whole dry wheatobics in her mouth in one go and i have honestly never seen anything like it in my life she's a small woman with a small mouth and she put a whole wheatabics in her mouth dry in one go and sort of yeah well yeah with no fluid and set off really

quick and then it was just like it was the saddest thing i've ever seen she just it must have taken an hour of just chomping like a horse oh my god she just kept going she just had to keep good because it's so big in there you can't just and spit it out yeah but why didn't she just say like why didn't she just say I'm done she couldn't say anything she had a mouth full of

Wheatabix oh my god so yeah every time I think as Wheatabix is now I just think you're like your mom's a legend is she is she it's kind of odd

odd I just love that she odds on herself I know so good but yeah now I can't think I like I think she'll never have a crunchy wheativics again to be fair babe so you're definitely not on your own I've just got an email to read out

that I thought was really interesting It hit me It's subject is Deliberate Therapy Session Hi girls Must start with the usual love the show and podcast You must thank you You have such a lovely relax

And natural energy But also bringing some really interesting material A great place to be in my eyes Aw thank you Thank you I was listening to the deliberate therapy session With Jacqueline Firstly it's so lovely to hear

Mental Health being talked about openly And I'm sure so many people Have really benefited from that episode I really felt for Alex Thurit, perhaps because I'm a fellow people pleaser, someone for whom it takes active work to say no and set boundaries. Something I find really helpful, both personally and professionally, I'm a clinical psychologist, is adding an extra layer of understanding to the techniques you were discussing with Jacqueline by taking a compassionate approach. Paul Gilbert slash Kristen Neff are great people to check out if you're interested in reading more. They have loads of resources on their website. In a nutshell for this scenario, it would be acknowledging that we all have an evolutionary need to be in good.

perceived as part of the in group in order to survive. Cave people needed to work together to hunt, gather, reproduce and we still have this old part of our brains. So human brains are going to throw up those thoughts about what others think about us. And as you discuss, this can be shaped more by life experiences, ETC. We can't necessarily stop that from happening, but we can acknowledge that this is not our fault. We didn't choose to have brains with old and new parts that can get tangled up, but it is our responsibility to understand and find a way to help and support ourselves through the challenges of having a tricky human brain. Often this may be through strategies such as those discussed on the podcast, but these can be hard to access from our threat brain. Given our

evolution, this automatic response will involve physical flight-fight type reactions, which given they are built to keep us alive, tend to make it difficult for us to access thinking. There's no time for that as far as your brain is concerned. So often adding practicing strategies to soothe our threat system when it is activated by this social threat helps to access more kind, supportive and compassionate thinking, which does involve those more difficult decisions and choices that may be uncomfortable in the short term, but better for us in the long term. This has turned out to be much longer than I was expecting. Turns out it's hard to explain this in a nutshell.

I guess I just wanted to share it for you as bringing more of this understanding and some practices to physically soothe this, e.g. soothing, rhythm breathing, hand on heart, would help access the more cognitive thinking stuff. I love that because I think that's actually sets us up nicely for Monday's episode where we're going to actually be discussing this stuff in much more depth. We've got Jacqueline coming back again on Monday for Monday's episode. And I'm absolutely terrified. I'm really excited, but I'm also absolutely terrified because it's always Al in the hot seat

when Jacqueline comes to stay, but this time it was me. And it was very vulnerable. But you're so right, we really explored this. And actually it's really interesting because you, Al, kind of like that, that kind of like compassion, compassiony and empathetic, compassionate and empathetic kind of like, um, part like of the process. And I've never really come at it before. Like I'm quite, I don't know, tough love with myself. Like I've never kind of addressed this stuff with compassion. I always just like, I want the solution. I'm quite solutions focused,

which is why I never pursued therapy because I really enjoyed life coaching because I didn't really want to explore the wise. I just was like, I don't really care. why I feel the way I do, I just want to not feel like this. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. But I do find it interesting and it is really nice to hear and you've been reminding me this and you sent me a really good book last week called Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before by Dr Julie Smith and that's been really cool for me. It's like my first like foray into the understanding of the why which is basically what that email was just saying and I really appreciate that because it's really easy to like take all the blet, particularly when you do a lot

of coaching, it's really easy because the solutions are in your hands. It's really easy to feel like the problems are all your fault. And you, which at its simplest form, yeah, like I'm feeling sad because, and I'm making myself feel sad. Other people can't make me feel sad, which is a very powerful thing for me and I personally really enjoy that because I'm like, good. Other people can't make me sad, which means it's on me to make me happy and I love having the power to do that. And that's very empowering for me. But it's also nice to know when you're feeling sad that, that it's your, it's the way that your brain works. It's not that something's wrong with you that you've done that.

It's not that you're weak or it's not that you're stupid. It's that this is how humans work. So that's cool, basically. Yeah, I think, and I like that. I think, yeah, we slightly differ in that, in that I'm very, I like to, I feel like that part has to be nurtured, or at least soothed, I guess, for lack of a better word,

before you can like tap into your higher brain, like your intellect. I guess it's like the, God, I sound like a walking therapy session, but like, I guess it's the inner child that gets triggered with stuff like that. And before you move on to your rational adult brain, you need to deal with that.

And I like that. I like that side of it. That, for me, just makes more sense. Yeah, and for me, it doesn't. Like, I, and it's really weird. I actually love that. And that's been a really key part of it as well, of knowing that people heal and think just so differently.

Yeah, and this is, we differ with therapy on this as well, don't we? Because I'm, I'm a big advocate for healing, like, wounds from your past because that's what's worked for me. But you don't necessarily like that approach. Yeah, but I've got no interest in my past. Yeah, like, I don't care. I don't care. I think I used to, and I used to think it really mattered.

But for me, I'm just like, I don't. don't care where I was and I don't care why I am the way that I am now. The fact is I am the way that I am and I want to feel better. Do you know what I mean? So like I very much feel yeah, like it's sort of irrelevant. And a big part of that, it has to include forgiving yourself for your past because like, and Jack taught me this. She said, you do what you do with the tools that you have. And so I just had shit tools, right? So no one's blaming me for my actions previously or for the way I was doing before I just had the wrong tools but I don't want to sit there and like analyze the spanner and why it didn't work with the Allen key thing like you know I don't I don't want to go

and talk about like when I was sad when I was six I just can't be bothered I'm just too like I'm just too impatient I'm like no I need the solution right now and that's why I literally tried so many therapists before life coaching and and they want to talk about my past and I'm like oh fuck off it's irrelevant it's gone that's really fascinating isn't it and it just it must be just different brains and how different brains work because I can't for me I can't move forward with anything but I'm like this with a lot of stuff like I have to get to the bottom of something the root of something you hear me say that all the time I bang on about getting to the roots of all the time because for me without doing that I can't move forward I like to have full understanding

of everything like my entire brain I want to look at me picking up fucking half facts and telling you that plastic was invented in like the wrong century or like I'll probably do that too No, I'm like, you're much, it's a much better way of living to understand everything than me. I'm just like, oh, fuck it. I'll never get it. So Yolo, like, not even going to try. If that's what, and coaching has done absolute wonders for you. So it's, it's different strokes for different folks. But I thought it was nice to just round out the conversation a little bit more and, like, offer that side of it. Yeah, I love that because I'm, yeah, I'm very like, I'm a bit, I think I'm a bit too, black and white with it um and i and i really think that the tools that what jacket and particularly

the episode coming out on monday i think yeah the tools that she gives are absolutely like instrumental and really powerful than anybody can apply them but often on their own for most for a lot of people they're probably not enough on their own um because a lot of people do need that like empathetic and they need a much more like therapeutic and that's fine like obviously yeah courses how many different expressions can we say of that's it i've actually i'm out okay i've just got really like again a very innocuous is it just me but this is just a really good example of just how embarrassing it is to be a human being all the time why is it's so embarrassing discusses hi alex m and daisy and amy i have to start obviously that i love the pod and it keeps me going

over the last few months i've had long covid oh bless you i've been off over five months with long that's horrid i'm very sorry i hope you get better soon pretty much every day i go to my local Starbucks as a treat to cheer myself up. Sometimes I used the drive-thru and sometimes I go in. Today I went through the drive-thru. I knew the girl's serving me because I'm there all the time, lol. She handed me my drink, which I always check and it was wrong because she was getting it changed. My COVID brain fog and anxious head kicked in. I forgot I was in gear. Took my car stalled forward with a jolt. She stifled a laugh and asked if I was okay and I just said, yep, forgot I was in gear, took my drink and drove off. The is it just me? Is this anyone else

overthink this embarrassing situation and go through all these possible scenarios or am I the only one? Also, can I go back there or do I need to find a new coffee shop? Yeah, you've got to find a new one. You're a cost of girl now. I reckon that woman won't have thought about it since. I think people still at the drive-thru all the time. All the time. All the time.

Yeah, I think she's probably seen a hell of a lot worse. However, I do overthink situate. I mean, yeah. Absolutely. I would ever think anything. There's nothing more embarrassing than like a small, situation in a car. Like, I hit my car on a really tiny, you know, in supermarket car parks, they have like the trolley, the trolley space, and they have tiny little pillars around the

trolley space, stupidly small for a car park, IMO. That means, in my opinion, I'm just trying to be down with the kids. I hit my car with it, and my car is absolutely fine because it's a big car and it hit the bottom bit. And anyway, it was just so fucking embarrassing. and I hate as a woman to do anything other than drive brilliantly because I don't want people to look at me being like, look at that little woman in her big car of course she crashed it, he-h-h-he-he, like typical.

So I feel like a responsibility to the womanhood to just drive, like, that's why I'm so good at parking, I swear down, I just want to be so good that no one can have, what's the word? I just want to be I just I want to do it for feminism you know and it's so embarrassing there's a huge pressure

huge pressure when I'm a bad driver I'm like brilliant brilliant I just set the women kind back that was good of me love that don't worry am I'm doing that for all womanhood I'm carrying the burden on that one

that's really generous of you it's so annoying the misconceptions that we have about driving I just get so annoyed to myself So, and now whenever I see a bad driver, I always gender, gender them as a man. I use he-him pronouns, because I just, even if it's a woman. Oh. I would rather be in a car with a woman than a man driving me.

Would you? Would you? Yeah, definitely. Do you think we're more sensible? I think we're more sensible, and that's how I like it, slow and steady and sensible. That's how I like it. Someone told you. slow, steady and sensible

naming a sex tape when you start your only fan Slow, steady and sexable Sexible Sexible Yeah, women get lower insurance lower insurance than men

Because they have less accidents on the whole Yeah, I believe so We're just generally better drivers It's annoying actually It's such a frustrating misconception because I mean I know I'm on incredibly thin eyes given that I'm waiting for the information on my speed awareness course but generally speaking like when I went to that I think the last time I went to it again I know I know how it sounds okay guys um the last time we went to a speed awareness

course I was one of only two women and they were like 11 men really so there you go do you know what I got I um I was in a taxi the other day and we were on the motorway and I was on my phone and then suddenly I felt like god we have it feels like we're going really fast looked up and we were doing 99 miles per hour. That's not right, is it? That's not right. Well, it's obviously not right. The speed limit 70.

So, I'm obviously, because I'm absolutely... Did you call the pleas from the back of the car? I have to report a crime. Oh, that made me laugh. No, but I texted Dave being like, he's going at 99 miles an hour. Do I say something? And Dave was like, yes, ask him to slow down.

So I did. I was like, I'm really sorry. But I'm a bad passenger. Do you mind slowing down a bit? And then I was like, why does it? Oh, God, so stupid. What did he say? Yeah, he just said, of course.

He was absolutely fine. Oh. But yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why cars go as fast as what they do if you're not supposed to go that fast. It upsets me.

Wait, I've never thought about that. That makes absolutely no sense. I think my car goes like 130 something miles an hour. But is it because of Germany and their motorway rules, the uban no not the uban in the aisle of man there's no speed limit there's no national speed limit that's why those those countries are ruining it for everyone else because i would like a car that didn't go above 70 perfect you can get one i don't think smart cars do that and i'd like the whole world to have that as well so that we just make ourselves a lot safer you know yeah i think most

i mean not to like just ruin your life i think a lot of accidents happen when you're going a lot slower than that. Look at me in Sainsbury's car park. Do they? Do they? Three miles an hour top. Oh god, okay. See, and that is why I slow down to a stop at corners. That is exactly why. Slow, steady and sensible. Exactly.

Inspirational. You're going to be, in another life you're a driving instructor. I am. I absolutely am. You want to know something really terrible before I let everybody go? Go on. In cars, the crash test dummies are male. Are they? They are a Six-foot man. This is across a lot of stuff, though, isn't it?

I think we've talked about this on the podcast before. Like with COVID, there's no, there's hardly any, who's like, oh, God, I'm so annoyed. I can't remember who I was speaking to about this, but she said that, you know, there's so much anecdotal evidence about periods and COVID upsetting, disrupting periods and cycles. And she said that if there was a man, there would be so much data on this, but because it's women, we don't have any. But this goes for a lot of other things.

as well, doesn't it, that men are, it's tested are men. I'm looking for the book that I have that literally explains the unconscious, it's called Invisible, I've talked about it before, it's called Invisible Women and it's about the unconscious gender bias in our society, and it's by an author called Caroline, and I'm really sorry, but I can't remember her surname right the second, but Google it's called Invisible Women, I swear it's in this room somewhere, anyway, literally the best book I've ever read but so I learned about the the car thing after my brother had his accident because he is basically the model of a crash test dummy which of course when he had his accident like obviously

it was a horrible accident but it was still to his the car the car was going to protect him as as best as it could protect anybody basically like if if i had had that accident it would have been very different um so i found this book because i remember i think it was like someone in the hospital one of the doctors said it and was like well his height is an advantage because of the crash test something thing and then yeah I found this book and she was being interviewed on radio

two I think at the time and I was listening to it and it was about how they'd found this female astronaut to go up to space and they couldn't send her because there wasn't a suit that fit her because all the suits were made for men also fun caveat do you want a little story about

the fragile ego and little willies of NASA are men just for lol I can't remember where I heard this That's actually really mean because astronauts are very brave Sorry, they don't have fragile egos They don't have little, well, they might have little willies I don't know Basically, you have to have

All willies are good willies though All willies are great willies, literally no big I shouldn't say, I shouldn't mention the willies But it is relevant to the story, so stick with me But basically In your space suit, you have to have what's effectively like a space condom Like, because your whole body's got to be protected, right? So they have to like measure like your dick

bit for your condom thing to go in right which is pretty cool but basically they you had to tell the people making the suit so you just had to like register like how big your willie was so like small medium and large but obviously it had to fit right you couldn't say whatever but no none of the men were saying small because they obviously didn't want to so all of these men were saying large because because toxic masculinity and then they've got these space suits and they just don't fit properly. So then NASA had to re-label the sizing to be large,

extra large and extra extra large. No way. No way. That is so funny. Definitely fact-checked me on that. But that was an anecdotal story that I heard on the back of the space suit thing. That does sound about right though. Because there was also that song about, you know, they were sending that woman to space and they

gave her 100 tampons and asked her if that would be enough. She was going there for five days. I feel like she was only going for like five days. I think this is all the time to myself I'm like whenever I can't do anything like whenever I don't know whenever I lose signal in central London for example I'm always like how could we have got somebody to space

60 years ago but I can't like WhatsApp you from Fulham like it doesn't make any sense like whenever I'm driving up the west of London like I'll call any of it just can't text there's no signal I don't understand it doesn't make any sense because our office is West London so I have to drive through it and it's just I'm on the phone Boom, gone.

I always think, I'm like, how can I get to... But then I think, okay, so they got to space and they did it on the moon, which was fine, but also 100 tampons for five days. It's not really a surprise that the rest of it's gone to shit. Do you know what I mean? I mean, that is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Yeah, I've got to stop holding them in such high regard. Yeah, yeah, very much so. So fun. Although we went to the... We've got to go. But we went to the light year premiere, and we heard from this amazing scientist, this woman who worked for NASA

and we're like low-key stalking her right now because we really wanted to come on the podcast. So watch this space. Really, because I'm fascinated. I do think space people are pretty cool. So it'd be really cool to her. But yeah. If it never happens, it means she said no.

Yeah, exactly. Like a lot of people, like Rebel Wilson. Let her go, Al, let it go. I can't. Thank you all so much for listening. We'll see you. On Monday, Alex, I will see you at Houston in about 45 minutes. Yep, we will, yeah, we will see you all on Monday for a really cool up.

Thank you for listening and should I delete this is... What's the name of the podcast? What's the name of the podcast? I'll say it again. Should I delete this? I do that way too often. Should I delete that is part of the ACAS creator network.
