Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello. Hello. Welcome back. Should I delete that? How are you? Oh, for God, this is so bad. It's so rigid. Why? I... So rigid. Because we're not professionals. Professioners. Professionals. We're not professionals. I'm going to kick us up with it. I'm going to end this. I'm going to end our torch. Wait, I wanted to moan for a second. Okay. Okay. Right. TikTok is really really, really increasing my anxiety. Okay.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Are you in the end of, are you in, um, apocalyptic TikTok? I am in chaotic TikTok and I can't cope. Like last night I was watching, first of all, it was like, are you scared of the water? Obviously, I'm scared of the sea. Obviously I am. Are you really scared? Watch this video. Watch this video.
Starting point is 00:00:50 I was like shaking by the end of it. Basically big aliens in the sea. Anyway. Like the megalogodon, megatilius. Not sure what that is, but yes. Sounds well right. The Megdilions. Cat, I know you can hear me in there.
Starting point is 00:01:03 What are they called? Meglodons. What is that? Have you never seen the Meg? The Jason Statham film was just definitely undisclosed, sponsored by Omega. Because he had his watch on
Starting point is 00:01:12 and in every single shot, it's like he's got to save the day against like a super shot. Like it's like 10 times thick, like a hundred times bigger than a great white, right? And apparently they're extinct. They were real in real life.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Cat fact check me. But I'm pretty sure they were right. They were real and they're extinct. But this film worked. on the premise, they're like, what if they're not extinct? And then there's a Meg, and it's just called the Meg, and Jason Statham has to fight the Meg, and he's got to show his watch off in every scene.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So it's like he goes down the ladder to, like, save it, but he's got to go down the left side first, and he can show off his big fat shark-fighting watch. Anyway, I loved it. I went to go to say it twice until now. I have zero desire to see this. It sounds fucking awful. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I love it. Anyway, but Megladon's, maybe that's what it was. I'd love Jason's safe. I'd watch him drink a cup of tea. It was like, no, it's like you're in the sea and the camera's like panning round and it's all quiet water. Is it the mermaid's one?
Starting point is 00:02:06 No. And then suddenly it's a man in your face like bearing his teeth in your face or a big shark bearing its teeth in your face. Why is there a man bearing? So I'm like, obviously I'm scared. Obviously you're scared, but why would there be a man in the sea? I don't know if I'm just trying to freak you out.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Oh. And then the next one, next video is like, are you scared of large objects? I'm like, no, why would I be scared of larger objects? And suddenly they showed these in objects that I've, like, on a scale I've never seen before and I'm like, well, now I'm scared. What kind of objects?
Starting point is 00:02:36 Like big ships, but like very, very big ships. Like big black holes. Okay, look, it depends on the object because it's like, are you scared of big teddy bears? It's like, no, but are you scared of black holes? Yes. I've probably would be scared of a big teddy bear, to be fair. Like, how big?
Starting point is 00:02:52 I watched Paddington last night. I love Paddington. Dave was like, should we just watch Paddington? And I was like, no, that's weird. And then I was like, actually, why not? Have you watched Paddington, too? I think it might have been too much. The one of my fingers, fingers, fingers.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Yes. It's literally one of my fingers, fingers, fingers. It's one of my favourite films ever. Absolutely brilliant. It's so, I know Katia is going to be in that room, and I know she's really freaking out. God, the ending got me. It's, I was actually wailing.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I was actually wailing, Dave was like, can you stop? It's so sad. It's so hard, warming and so lovely. I just felt like. And Brendan Gleason, it's that happy little, well, grumpy little, happy little chef. Oh, knuckles. It's such an adventure. I love that film. But don't you feel like the bear is a dog?
Starting point is 00:03:31 And you're like, I just need to protect the dog bear. Well, she's a better. Just protect the bear. Oh, my God. Just so sweet. Anyway, it wrecked me. Absolutely wrecked me. Great film.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Can breathe. And then, so, my next TikTok is things you shouldn't do as a trauma, a brain trauma expert. You're not a brain trauma expert. No, no. This woman was like, I'm a brain trauma expert. Here are things I would never do and you shouldn't do either. Number one. Don't ride a bike.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Number two, don't go on a trampoline. Oh, because you might traumatise your brain. Yeah. Number three, don't get hit by lightning. I'm like, okay. I can't help that. If I'm going to get hit by lightning, I'm going to get hit by lightning. But thank you for unlocking a new fear.
Starting point is 00:04:16 She's like, it's really bad to get hit by lightning. I'm like, okay. Thank you. Fucking obviously. I have a teacher in year five who got struck by lightning two times. That is incredibly unlucky. Very unfortunate. And also, like, I don't know, aren't you more like, what's,
Starting point is 00:04:35 I love the lottery statistic of like, like, you're more likely to get hit by lightning. I don't know. Than win the lottery? Yeah, something like that. Well, anyway. We don't buy lottery tickets, so. That's, I feel like I've got no chance of winning the lottery because I've never bought a lottery ticket.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I used to have a direct debit to the lottery. And I, never won a thing. I lied. I just told you I've never bought a lottery ticket. Not true. I did buy a lottery ticket once. And I got an email saying, you've won the lottery. And I was like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I opened the email. I'd win £7.50. I was like, right. Well, like, I've technically won the lottery, yes. But I've won £7.50. It just about covered the cost of the ticket. It was like, it was the up and then the immediate down. Because I'd have been happy enough.
Starting point is 00:05:15 They'd just been like, you won £7.50. But to say you've won the lottery, I honestly, I was lying. And I was lying on my friends, in my friends' mattress. Like, I was with Alex. We were staying at my friends. I was on the mattress and I like that and I was like
Starting point is 00:05:28 and when I tell you I catapulted myself into my own future I was like this is going to be unbelievable and then it was like oh
Starting point is 00:05:35 7,050 never mind I order myself a kebab and delicious it will be okay so according to a trauma surgeon don't do anything basically she said
Starting point is 00:05:49 don't do anything and I'm like well you could just wear a helmet all the time just for safety yeah that would be good Al some of them
Starting point is 00:05:56 made me feel a little bit better. She was like, always wear a seatbelt. I would never not wear a seatbelt. I was like, that's fine. I never not wear a seatbelt. But don't get struck by lightning. That's not good advice. Did she mention walking underneath signs? Because I often think I shouldn't be walking underneath signs because what if a sign falls on your head? Because I feel like that would probably be one of the worst things that could happen to your head. You only go to a roundabout and there's like really big signs. Yeah. And whenever I walk underneath them, I always think if this falls now, it will slice me in half and my brain will be like a big watermelon or a Like, just splat. Things, I don't, I mean, yes. But like, again, another fear unlocked. Sorry. That's a big fear of mine. Sorry, more that she said, never ride an amusement park ride. Boring.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Boo. Why? Never ride a motorcycle. Yeah. Never throw a baby up in the air. Because it might land on your head and hurt it. I've actually heard this, you know, because it, like, it can traumatize their brain or something. Probably, I don't think it's the smartest thing to do it.
Starting point is 00:06:58 No, Google that guys. I don't know if that's right. And I was like, what constitutes a baby? Like, I get that, but I thought she meant for her own brain. I was like, what is it going to land? No, no, no, no. In case you drop it and it's like... If a car ever breaks down on the highway, never stay in that car.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Yeah, I did know that one. You've got to get out the car immediately. I didn't know that. So if you break down and you pull over to the hard shoulder, get out your car, go to the other side of the, whatever the, what's the barrier is called? Not in the middle of the road, like the barrier. something like at the central restaurant. I was like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I've got cross the motorway. No, like get away. Just get as far away from your car as possible. Because, because if you've got a tired lorry driver, for example, not to generalise, but I just imagine they'd probably get tired because they're in the car quite a lot. But anyone who's not fully concentrating in the inside lane, the slow lane, but you're not supposed to call it that,
Starting point is 00:07:46 if somebody's driving in that and they see a car on the hard shoulder, they might also assume it's a lane. It'd be like, oh, I'll just pull in and then bam. Or if whatever, you know, It basically, shit. So you do, like, you're supposed to get out and put that funny little triangle thing behind your car, which is fluorescent, so it reflects. People will see that and be like, don't, this isn't the hard job.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Where are we getting a fluorescent triangle from? There should be one on your boot. Or you should have one. Or you should buy one if you don't have one in your boot. Okay. Do you have one in your boot? No. I had to take all of that stuff out to make space for the pram.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Paralo. Never take Benadryl, she says. What? She doesn't even give a fucking explanation for that. Right, so I'm just going to be stressed to you, am I? Don't Hedre. Benadryl, great. Don't slam into the car in front of you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Good idea. Obviously, no. This is the most ridiculous wish I've ever heard in my life. Never let a child play football under the age of 14. To be fair, I think she's American, so she's talking about American football, which is more like, it's more like rugby, isn't it? So it's contact sport, and it's very, I think you can have a lot of traumatic brain injuries. So, okay, we'll give her that.
Starting point is 00:08:54 one. No, will we? Okay, will we? Like, okay, so you've got to be the one, you've got to be the parent to the kid that everyone all there are like, Mom, I want to go play soccer and it's like tough. You can sustain traumatic brain injury, so you're going to sit in the house with me and do cross-stitch and not take Benadryl for the allergies, the dust that's coming out of this wall. You're going to sit there. You're going to have no life. Listen to the next one. Okay. I will never get groceries without strapping them down in the back of the SUV. What? I'm just going to do. She's strapped my little apple.
Starting point is 00:09:26 She's trolling. What are you doing? Oh, I'm just duct-taping the Clementines. Don't worry about me. Come on. She's doing this to troll you. What she thinks can happen? This was a viral video.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Six pack of beer is going to... Well, she's obviously seen it in her medical lifetime. Yeah, but we've seen... This is what the Guiding Geek talks. She saw a disco ball up her vagina. It doesn't mean we need to put a public health announcement out, being like, don't put disco balls up your fanny. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:54 There are some things you have to learn the hard way. And I would, I would, I would argue that, like, you've fruit and veg conking you on the noggin while you're driving. Maybe it's because they didn't heed her earlier advice. Maybe it's because they did slam onto the car in front of her. And that's when the fruit and veg, it wasn't the initial impact. Two worlds collide. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:15 It was the cantaloupe in the back shooting forwards. I mean, the amount of time to strap all your groceries into your car. And with what implement would you do that? She literally says a strap. Like, what tool do you need for that? Like a harness? The time that I just think life is more than that. And some risks you have to take.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I say that as safety Susan. I think measured risks. And I think that's a measured risk that you can take. Yeah. Agreed. I mean, just in order to live your life, you know, jet ski's absolutely not. Fair enough. Forget that.
Starting point is 00:10:49 She's been of a kill joy, though, wouldn't she? Never put two children one seat. belt, fair enough. Well, yeah. See, some of this stuff is so obvious and fair enough, and then some of it is so silly. Trampolines are a big no-no, which is such a shame
Starting point is 00:11:01 because trampoline's like the best thing ever when you're a kid and when you're an adult. If you're at an intersection and the light turns green, never just gas it, always look left, right left. Oh, that's it. Sorry, that was the end of that.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Left. Right left. Hang on, so if you're at a junction and you're, what do you mean? You never gas it. Don't trust the lights. Before you just. go, just check that there's not anyone coming.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Again, logical shit. This is not the same advice as strapping your groceries in or a Benadryl. It's not on the same level. I will never ride in a car that does not have airbags. How do you know if it's got airbags or not? You just do. I mean, do most cars have airbags? Yeah, unless they're like super old.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Okay. I mean, you get in, there's a little thing. If you get in the passenger side, there's a little thing in like the front right, like where the door frame is that just says airbag. Okay. And then it says it on the steering wheel as well. Well, another new anxiety unlocked. Your car has that works.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Don't be a good Samaritan. What? If you're driving and you see that another car has broken down on the side of the highway. Fuck them. Woman alone. Children. Or on the turnpike. Not sure what that means.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Isn't being attacked by a bear. I'm lucky. Or there's been a wreck. I could sustain brain injury if I helped you. So I got to go. Every man for himself, it appears. Or if there's been a wreck, the worst thing you can do is get out of your car to help them. It's not the worst thing.
Starting point is 00:12:22 that you could do, arguing that's the best thing that you could do. Oh, a family in distress, the very worst thing I could do right now would be to help them. I know that sounds horrible. Yes, it does a little bit. Yes, it does. But the number of deadly accidents that have occurred because someone has tried to be a good Samaritan and then they get hit by a semi-truck or another vehicle is insane. It's so specific.
Starting point is 00:12:44 The amount of good Samaritans we have, like Jesus himself, hit by a semi. Okay. Last one. Absolutely, do not get hit by lightning. Absolutely, don't do that. So I've got some advice out myself, and that's just, I think it's a really good idea to keep breathing. That's just, oh my God, I'm never thought about that. I don't know what you're going to do later today, but I feel like that's...
Starting point is 00:13:06 You actually shouldn't say things like that to me because it then starts me thinking about my breathing, and then I get really panicked. I told you, didn't I, that one of my sisters had to have, like, two days off school, because someone told her not to think about her breathing in class. The teacher said, don't think about your breathing in class, and notice that's all you think about. and it like sparked a two-day panic attack and she had to stay off school. It happened when I was in year three
Starting point is 00:13:26 and one of the teachers told us to hold our breath when we walk past her up because we were waiting for the pretstick to stick. Like we're waiting for our stuff to get glued down. She was like, nobody breathe and you walk past it and one girl forgot to breathe. Like she just didn't start breathing again and then she collapsed.
Starting point is 00:13:42 She held her breath for so long. That's really impressive. It was yeah, I know. Imagine the willpower. Like I kind of admirable. That's that serious willpower because you're denying your, like, you're... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Denying your biological instinct. That's a real teacher's pet. People please are to the max. Top of the glass. I don't know how I'd even go about getting struck by lightning. Unless you've climbed a tree, but I don't, I'm not very good at climbing trees. Is that? Well, the higher up you are, the more likely you are to be struck by lightning.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Oh, because it looks for the high points, isn't it? Well, no, it just hits, it doesn't look, it's not like, ooh, tall building. It's like, it just hits them because they're the highest. It just hits them first Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. So, like, if you're standing next to a big tree, the big tree will probably get hit. Isn't it like a terrible thing to stand under a tree?
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yes. Also about to be in a pool because if the pool gets struck, you will be cooked. Oh, my God, you will actually be cooked. Yeah, like a toaster in a bath. But good to be in a car, Dave told me this morning. Yes, because of the rubber tires. They're in welly boots.
Starting point is 00:14:42 That's something you could do out to ease this anxiety. You could get my welly boots. From now on. From now on. No, I'll think. I wonder if crox protect you for. If so, I know what we're getting for your birthday. Don't say I'm not a good friend.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I'm basically buying you a shield. A lightning. I'm saving your life. Would Crocs stop, no, help if you got struck by Lightning McQueen? If there's any information about this on the internet, I'll eat my heart. What? The idea that, I'm going to pretend I haven't read this, the idea that rubber shoe soles prevent lightning from travelling through a person,
Starting point is 00:15:19 person's body is not true. Wow. According to an environment. So I wonder if a car... Whoa. False news. There is a Reddit thread saying if I'm wearing crocs.
Starting point is 00:15:30 If I'm wearing crocs, could I get struck by lightning and be fine? Rock Slice says no. After traveling hundreds of yards through the air, a half inch of rubber isn't going to stop lightning. Cars are safe-ish because of the metal shell, but not because of the tires. And then somebody else bowing.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Mouse monkey says no, a lightning bolt is simply too powerful to care about a thin layer of rubber underneath your feet. So that's that. They're just stylish, not practical. The only thing to do is be in your car, really. So you could just live in a car. What about your house? What about your house? It's fine. Is it? Yeah. Look if your roof gets struck by lightning. Unlucky roof. No problem though. No, not for you. It's like the tiles or the pigeons that were sitting up there. I know. I always think don't more birds get struck by lightning. And wouldn't that be a shock? I feel like they're too little to get struck by lightning. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:23 No, I feel like the chances are just smaller. Yeah. But also, like, probability dictates that they do, like, okay, what happened to birds get struck by lightning? Yes, they can be. Like other animals, the cells that they are made up of conduct electricity so they can be hit by lightning. If you want to know the probability of lightning hitting a bird,
Starting point is 00:16:40 I'd say it must be very low. That's nice. That's good. I'm pleased about that. I don't like that they say, like, if you want to know the probability, I'm like, yes, I do. And then I carry on reading and it says it'll be very low. It's like, well, that's not an exact science. You know what?
Starting point is 00:16:52 On the topic of Googling things, I have an email I'd like to read out. Okay. A DM. Hey, Alex M. Daisy and Lee, should I do that team? Absolutely love the podcast. And Alex and M have genuinely taught me so much,
Starting point is 00:17:05 including when plastic was invented. And help me to change my perspective and challenge so many issues. I listen to the pod when I'm driving. So is it just me who has to make a mental list of things to Google immediately when I stop the car? Today's list included, number one, penis piss balloon. Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:17:20 Number two A wow bumhole Nice I know Number three Kardashian fail era Yeah Oh well
Starting point is 00:17:29 I mean this is very late news But Courtney Kardashian's pregnant Oh my god She is Isn't she How Jazzy I know
Starting point is 00:17:36 She's like 43 isn't she Is she Yeah She's been sharing Her fertility Struggles Wow Yeah she was
Starting point is 00:17:42 She was trying to make the baby Yeah because I watched The last season I think And she was doing IVF And then she said I'm done with IVF
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. I didn't watch the last season. I just know that they've been... So maybe it just happened. Well, it's pretty cool. She's like super pregnant. Yeah, she is, isn't she? Yeah, because when I saw it, I was like, well, Travis obviously knew. Yeah. But then I was like, oh, obviously he knew. This is just her announcement to the world. I did think that at first. I was like, oh my God, she's literally telling him while he's on stage.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And then I was like, that's probably the early. Yeah. So, yeah, I went through series of things. Okay, I have something to read out. Oh, please. Speaking of pregnancy, actually, or just sort of vaguely age. Is it just me, mid-20 struggles? Hi, guys. I absolutely adore the podcast and have been an avid listener since day one.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Please keep doing what you're doing. Okay. I am 25, happily and newly engaged and own my own house. I have a lovely group of friends that I have known since school. Like most lifelong friends, all our life timelines match constantly through school, through sixth form and onto university, etc. However, in the last couple of years, everyone seems to have taken a completely different path and have either moved country, are planning to move country or have gone travelling indefinitely.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I find this so jarring as no one seems to be doing the same thing as me, which causes me to feel as though I'm being left behind. I also feel as though I'm the boring one in the group. I sometimes start to believe this and question whether I've done the wrong thing with my life. How do I shake these unhelpful feelings? Why are mid-20s an absolute mind-filled? Is it just me? What's she doing?
Starting point is 00:19:08 Sorry, how is that in contrast to what she's doing? She's engaged. Settled. And owns her own house. Okay. And she's only 25. So I was 25 when I got engaged. And I actually get it
Starting point is 00:19:22 Like I get that like thing Because you look at everyone else And you just think And again now like I've had a baby obviously So young And you do look at everybody else Around you Because that's human nature
Starting point is 00:19:34 To look around and compare yourself And I feel like I've been on a similar path to you Like I'm very settled There's no way I'm leaving London Like I'm not going travelling I can't now But you know like yeah I got engaged at 25
Starting point is 00:19:47 I got married at 206 had a baby at 28, like I've done it all the super young and looking around at my friends my age, like I have a lot of friends of different ages, which is helpful, but my friends my age, I'm the only one to have a baby. Yeah. And I was the first to get married and all that shit.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And yeah, if you want to look around, the grass is greener. Well, I remember what do they say? The grass is greener where you water it. And it's because you don't know their reality as well. Because you said you're going to be left behind. They are probably looking at you and thinking, oh shit, she's leaving us behind.
Starting point is 00:20:15 A hundred percent. Because that's just what you do. And I think you have to like, do what comes from an actual desire, from an actual personal desire, not a panic to keep up with everyone else or to do what everyone else is doing, because it'll never make you happy. So if you want to be settled and that's what you feel that you enjoy right now, then be settled and just enjoy that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Because I don't, I also think, I feel like I've had this in the reverse, kind of. Like, my friends started having kids when they were like 28, so like six years ago. And I have spent those six years, not. feeling like I'm ready to have children but being like fuck I should be you know I've been looking around me all the time being like oh my god she's onto her second kid oh my god they're trying for their third and I'm not even ready for my first you know
Starting point is 00:20:58 but I think ultimately like you just it wouldn't have been right for me to rush into something just because I felt like I had to keep it with my friends or because I was not on my friend's timeline like everyone has their own timelines and it's true and it's and I think if you're doing
Starting point is 00:21:14 it just to look like you're being like a fun, like really fun or like spontaneous and stuff. Like you're not actually going to end up enjoying it. No, and also if you like, if you play this scenario out, which is what I sometimes have to do, like sometimes I look around and I'm like, and it was a lot easier to do before I had a kid
Starting point is 00:21:29 because now when I look around, I look at my friends that don't have the same commitments. And I look at them and I'm like, could have been me. But it's like couldn't be me because I literally like, Arlo lives with me now. So like you can't, I can't like, you know, you can't do a baby basically.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Yeah. But the decisions that you've, you know, you've made, you could theoretically pack it all, and go and do what your friends are doing. But when you actually play that out, it's like, do you really want that? Like, look around you now. Like, look at your, you look at your fiancé,
Starting point is 00:21:57 look at your house that you're probably really proud of because you've bought it, which is insane. And, like, you've made it your own. And you've said, you know, you've said, yes, you're excited for that bit of your life. When you're looking in your lane, everything's good. It's only when you look around, which is so often the case. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It doesn't feel so good. But actually, if you play it out in your head, like, look, think about the realities, right, of sacking this all in. So you've got to go to your fiancé and say, I can't really tell you why, but I just feel like I maybe shouldn't do this right now because nobody else is doing it.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Like, weird. Then you've got to be like, okay, I'll just sell the house that I've spent a really long time buying, will I? And then be like, yeah, we'll just call off the wedding. We won't do that. And then, okay, where will I go? And how will I afford it?
Starting point is 00:22:37 Where will all my stuff go? Like, and when you actually push all that through, what am I going to do for work? And you actually go there and you're like, I don't want to do this. Like, and I think that's really important to make, Because you can fantasize about other lives and other dreams and other things that you can be doing so easily. And it's only when you stop it being a fantasy and start actually envisaging it as a reality that you're like,
Starting point is 00:23:00 no, thanks. I'm actually really happier. And also like, okay, yes, things like moving to another country and traveling are easier to do when you're in your early to mid-20s. And as you get older, it becomes more difficult. You have more responsibilities and more commitments. but things like that are still very much possible in your future. That might end up happening. My mate who's 35, her own husband and her child,
Starting point is 00:23:25 have just moved to Amsterdam for her job. Yeah, fun. Like things, it's not, the world doesn't stop when you, you know. No, you can get travel when you, you know, you're only just recently engaged. If you want to sublet your house, you can go with your partner. And if that's what you do, you know, you do a bit of soul searching and find out that's actually what you want to do, like that's cool too. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And also, like, I mean, I've just done a mini break with a baby, super easy. Like, I'm going to traveling in the summer, it's absolutely fine. Like, it's not what it was, but it's fine. Also, before you have babies, you can go and travel, like, just with your partner so easily. You're not, you know, like, marriage isn't the old and day commitment. It's not like, oh, you're going to be stuck in your house now. Like, you can still get married and go. Like, you can go on an amazing honeymoon.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Like, if you want to do all of this, you can still do it. Yeah. But I think, like, it sounds like you're worried that you're making the wrong decision because the others aren't making it. But I just think, like, life is. basically just a game of musical chairs and like you just find your chair and then you know like you don't know when the music's going to stop for anybody yeah and you can look at people and think oh my god they're living their best life and they are probably looking at you and thinking I would love that stability or should not even I would love it but should I have it 100% people
Starting point is 00:24:31 that don't have stability think they've making the wrong and like like yeah I've had times over the last like decade where I've been in a relationship and you think am I like is this crazy because it's a really pivotal point in your life like your mid 20s because half the people are doing one thing and everybody's just doing different things but when I actually think about it it's like am I happy
Starting point is 00:24:51 like yes ridiculously so so then that's that's that yeah you just look at your shit and are you happy with your shit also my mum goes travelling now in her 60s right exactly
Starting point is 00:25:02 like she goes with her body once a year and they go and see somewhere you're not locked up when you become a wife no like the world is still your oyster and I bet you when you say
Starting point is 00:25:12 that they're all going travelling they're all just in Bali and they've probably all been shitting themselves for like they've all done their teeth wrong with the water and they've all just caught the squids so it's not as good as it looks on Instagram that would be my bit I'd never been, can you tell them bitter?
Starting point is 00:25:24 We know that I just have a dream I lived there the other night though it was a really peaceful dream actually I'd say a lot of those threats on that lady's lists exist in Bali I've seen a lot of motorbikes yeah I think it's for a lot of trouble storms yeah yeah danger
Starting point is 00:25:40 danger zone stay in your house forever it sounds like you've got it's set pretty good. You stay in there. Don't complain. Hopefully you're in a car as well where you will be safest from lightning. Just remember, don't slam into the back of anybody else. And strap down your groceries. As long as I live.
Starting point is 00:25:59 With what? Imagine having to unstrap them. How embarrassing, people watching. Yeah, what are you doing? Why have you got a car seat? You don't have any children? Oh, sorry, yeah, it's just for the plums. It's just to avoid the traumatic. brain injury. How embarrassing. Mortified. Yeah, I'd take the concussion, honestly.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Same. I think we learned a lot in that episode, actually. We did. Don't compare. Don't crash into the back of anybody else. And whatever you do, don't take Benadryl. For reasons that we don't know, can't work out. But just as a blanket statement and blanket piece of advice, avoid it at all costs. I don't care what it history of mean levels are saying. Suffer. Yeah, it's just... You'll be fine. I'm completely ignoring that advice for the record. It's a Benadryl.
Starting point is 00:26:51 It's strange. But you can't take it on your breastfeeding, apparently. Although I've had to disregard that advice because I think I told you this, the day I got home from the hospital, obviously Alex had got what he wanted from me. He'd got the baby. He's got his air.
Starting point is 00:27:05 He tried to finish me off. He served me a pizza with cheese on it. Like, I'd just give him birth. And he's like, oh, what, we got in freezer? Serve the pizza. and I took a bite and I was like, God damn, that's cheesy. I was like, what kind of a vegan cheese is this? I was like, I don't think it's vegan.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And my Alex has gone up for a nap by this point. Oh my gosh. I'm from the hospital. My mom was like, he wouldn't have given you dairy. I was like, no, he wouldn't have done. He had. He had. Give me mozzarella.
Starting point is 00:27:29 So then when you leave the hospital, the, like the desk, the midwives are like, call back if you need anything. Like, you know, like, if when you get home, like, you're discharged, but like, yeah, they were polite. I think it was just a courtesy. I don't think they were saying actually call. because I literally got home and two minutes later I was like, hello, I left like 15 minutes ago
Starting point is 00:27:48 and I've just had something I'm really allergic to and might have to take an anti-estamine. And they were like, hell yeah. Keep you. Yes, probably. Yeah, I'd do that if it's going to keep you alive. Alex. I know, what the fuck? What the fuck? What an asshole?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Oh my God, dicing with death. I know, I think he was just tired, so he says. I see his agenda. Too little too late, mate. I'm sleeping with one eye open now, don't you? Anyway. We've all been tired. Come on.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Get great. I'll just kill our wives. Mansells at best. Anywho, I'm fine. I took a bed of drill. She's alive. And I don't have traumatic brain injury as a result. So that's stunning.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Anyway. Thanks for being with us and we will see you on Monday. Goodbye. Bye. Thank you so much for listening. Should I delete that is part of the ACAST creator network.
