Hello, welcome back to Shuddley that. I'm Alex Light.
I'm then Clarkson. This is an Is It Just Me? Episode.
It is indeed. We've got emails to get into.
We do.
I've also got some topical, some current effects, some bug bears, if you will.
What would you like to do first? Hit me with your bug bears.
It's just one. Okay.
I want to talk about Angelina Jolie. She is not my bug bear.
As ever, the reaction, the society, man.
As ever, it's the social media noise surrounding her.
That's really got my goat this week.
So you've seen them because I asked you to look at them this morning.
Yes.
The videos and photos.
I see, I think it's amazing how the internet operates
that you can just be minding your business
and all of a sudden one celebrity just becomes it.
And it's just everywhere.
And these clips emerged of her at the gold,
Globes.
So the Golden Globes.
It wasn't the Grammy's.
I feel like it was the Golden Globes.
Anyway, she looks beautiful.
The Venice International Film Festival.
That's the one.
She was at the Venice International Film Festival.
Okay.
And she looked beautiful, but she looks thin.
Yeah.
She looks thin.
And I was reading in the comments.
And I just thought, oh, you motherfuckers!
Leave her alone.
This is a woman who very famously had
opened up about having the bracker gene and had to have a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy
because of it. Yeah. He's going through a very public divorce with a man who is alleged to be
abusive and to have been very abusive on this flight. You know, it's all rumoured, but she's
clearly going through it and all the comments are just like, I don't care for your ill health
or marriage woes or the fact that you're a victim of anything. I just want to tell you that you
look very thin and bad and old. I know, God, I'm looking at the comments now. This is on
Perez Hilton, so a bit of a dumpster fire anyway, but I mean, I know he's tried to redeem himself,
but I'm not convinced. Someone's put, she looks old and tired. I don't know how old she is,
but she does, she looks unlike herself. Someone's put 49, I think, it's because she needs to
start eating. It's, honestly, you want to know what not to do as a woman in Hollywood? Age. And I've always
found the conversation around Angelina to be so interesting because she obviously was the
woman blamed for breaking up Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
Right.
She was the other woman.
She was the home wrecker.
Yeah.
And growing up for me has been realizing that Angelina wasn't the baddie in all of this
Brad Pitt was.
Totally.
I know.
But it's taken like a.
casual 20 years to be like, hang on, guys. Let's, let's reassess this one. It's so interesting to me
how we can still lambast and loathe the other woman. Meanwhile, the man is aging like fine wine
and gets a free pass. And I swear there's been so many accusations leveled at him from her, I think,
right about his behavior and I don't know how much she's spoken to it I know that there was
something on an altercation on a flight with his kids and I think it was one of the airline I think
it was a private plane but I think it was somebody from that flight right spoke about it his kids
don't speak to him or at least one of his kids doesn't speak to him I was about to say one of his
kids has just dropped his name yeah and they're clearly going through it the Jolie Pitchie
children I think it's remarkable how we can look at the evidence in front of us and go
but he's so good looking he can't be that bad like look how handsome he is friends with
George Clooney and look at their banter and he's so funny people the thing that I always find
the most frustrating perhaps of all of it is how people still ship Jennifer Anderson and Brad Pitt
yeah and people still make these like really romanticised videos of them together and like they
say they're still in love and then whatever
and it's like this guy
publicly humiliated to her and broke her heart
and she has got the good
grace and manners to be cordial
and maybe they're still friends
whatever but don't reduce
this hugely complex
like these hugely complex lives
to just being this one like romanticised
like oh they were the power couples in the 90s
and like they'll be back to go
and that's true love and it's
Like, never mind, like, the fire and destruction and the hurt in every, like, left everywhere.
I don't know.
I just find it so, I don't know.
Just, just annoying.
Why would Jennifer once to want him?
Why should she?
Literally, why would she?
I was like, oh yeah, Jen and bad.
We weren't better for her.
We need better for her.
Yeah.
We're not going to, we're not backsliding 20 years to a guy who left him for another woman,
treated that woman like shit.
It's split up with her.
So this is going to come back to you again.
Kind.
This is probably.
probably toxic as well, but kind of wanted to be with Ross.
Oh, no, she deserved better than Ross.
I did not like Ross.
Ross was the reason I can't even remember, actually.
Why?
Because of Ross.
What was, I can't really remember.
I found him so, like, not to be ahead of my time.
I'm like, aware of, like, problematic behaviors before the rest of us really acknowledged it.
I always found him so toxic.
I just, I could, I never, I couldn't stand him.
Really.
I hated the way he treated her.
I just, I thought he was horrible.
I thought he was a terrible father.
Was he?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, he never saw Ben again after like, whatever.
And I hated how he was with, with his daughter.
Honestly, I couldn't.
I just, I couldn't.
Who was his wife?
Emily.
And he left him, left him for another woman, Carol.
And he was horrible about that.
He was just, fuck Ross.
Fuck Ross.
Fuck Ross.
Yeah, no, but yeah.
But that's a con, that will get us in trouble.
Oh, will it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People love Ross.
Oh, that was, sorry, that will go.
Oh, okay, I thought you meant me saying that I, yeah, no, I don't know.
But people have a lot of views about friends now, don't they?
Yes.
Yeah.
So the thing is, I dipped in and out.
I was like a very fair weather friends watcher.
I've never watched, probably watched, like, a quarter of them.
Me too.
And I, like, but I did, I did like it.
Yeah, no, I like to.
I feel like it's so bad to say that now, but I loved it.
Like, it was, you know.
I don't think it's.
I don't know. People feel very strongly about it. People don't like that it's like they were living
unrealistic lives. Yeah. Which is fair cop. Because they really weren't. Because they really were. It was very nice
apartments. Yeah, they were like six, slim, white, like middle class, I suppose. Yeah. Like there was
glaring lack of diversity. Yeah. Stark. Yep. And then Ross was a bit of a knob. But I feel like,
I feel like that might, I feel like I'm going to get a trouble and say that because people really like.
him yeah if you look at any of these shows through the 2024 lens no nothing passes like
nothing's okay nothing's not problematic totally totally and I think we can still enjoy all the
we can definitely still enjoy all these things while also critiquing having a bit of critical
thinking learning from them and learning from them not going to do it again exactly we know
better and we do better now 100% also it's totally fine that I don't like a character like it's
totally fine that he was a knob because it's like well I just don't like him and that's fine
It doesn't mean anything.
It's so interesting, isn't it?
When we watch something or when we decipher something
or when we critically think about something,
everybody has to pass, everyone has to pass the test.
Everybody has to be to our standards
or else they're problematic and we can't endorse them.
But this is actually what we were talking about before.
This is a bit meta, actually.
We're going behind the curtain now.
But we were talking about this before
about having podcast guests on
who have values that we don't like completely align with
or like have some values that we don't align with
and we're talking about how like in the past we've stayed away from that
but actually we don't want to do that anymore
we don't want to just disregard someone entirely
because they have a view that is different than art
or they've had a behavior that is
or we made a really shit joke
we don't we wouldn't you know
commend what's the word that we wouldn't
condone that's it
we were talking about that before
weren't we and I think it's I think it's really important I don't know I'm proud of us I feel like
it's really good growth for us it is great that we're like considering guests that we would
never have considered before 100% we're doing we're making some pod changes nothing don't worry
nothing that we're not fucking with the format again we're not gonna include you either don't worry
but we're just good we're dealing with it on our own but it is a really exciting time yeah because
because I've realized how far we've come so far in what we what we say yeah what we're brave enough to do
what we can handle.
Yeah.
It is tragically because our skin has been hardened sandpaper down, if you will.
We've had to develop very thick skin.
But I do think also it's definitely in part down to the listeners like you guys.
100%.
We have met so many of you.
Like we've listened to all of your feedback through email, DM and like met you guys at the live shows.
And we've realized now that you are on our side.
Yeah.
Like not to say that you can't hold us.
accountable for stuff because you know that's you know we need that still hate it but we need it
but it's like you're on our side yeah we there's a there's a lovely like relationship there it's
not like you're trying to catch us out or trip us up yeah and there's like there's room for like
nuanced conversations and also mistakes and that's really nice obviously we endeavor not to make
them but I think undoubtedly we will yeah well going for ross I don't think it's the right thing
I think I've made a mistake there
and I could have said
that I didn't like moniker either
but I feel like I don't
this is the hill you die on
imagine if this is why you get cancelled
because of Ross
I could see it
it would be about right
it would be about nonsensical
enough
it would really
it would just be so poetic
it would be perfect
yeah
because it's not even something
I feel that strongly about
I just don't like it that much
alright let's read me that email
okay
first of all love the pod
it's one the only ones I listen to
consistently every week.
Love the topics, love the banter.
Oh, and please do talk about your children
now and then. Your mum's now, they're part of your life
and from one parent to another, 90% of our life
is our kids. Thank you.
You never go on and on about them. You just share snippets and it's lovely.
If people don't follow you for that, so be it.
Lots of mums will hit follow because it's relatable
and a lovely mix. You can't pressure yourself
to not mention your beautiful little babies
because some followers don't have kids and they think the chat is boring.
That is so cute. And before we got, I was the rest of the email,
and I just share something that I put on close friends yesterday.
Oh my God. I meant to message you about that.
I saw something.
You know, I keep saying that I hate threads.
And threads is like the worst place there.
And threads is like worse than Twitter
because everyone's pretending to be nice
and they're actually just not.
Yeah.
Someone put out a tweet saying,
one thing that influences do
that automatically makes you unfollow, question mark.
And someone replies going,
have a baby.
It ruins the page.
And then someone else replied going,
100% of the main reason I unfollow people.
I was like, oh my God, we fucking hate mothers.
How brutal is that?
It's so savage.
We just clas down them.
You wouldn't unfollow them.
man for having a baby but you just hate women for doing it i i honestly i sat there and i was
like i why i are i got some stuff to say and then i was like you know what i'm going to
screen grab it put it on close friends and never think about it again that is so rough
so rough because it is fair like also i got so triggered by the replies to that i got so
triggered by the replies to it because it was like well do it when they say run don't walk
I was like right well I say that literally once a day
and it's like when they get added our sambas I was like oh no
I just got a pair
and it was like when they tap their nails on a product
I was like I love to tap my nails on a product
I have literally got no followers left
I was getting so triggered and then I saw the have a baby one
and I was like right well I'll just go and jump will I
bye
do activate the account brutal that is so brutal I hate that
That makes me feel angry.
I feel triggered.
My favourite thing about it is like how maybe it ruins the page.
And it's like, the page is a person.
The page is a person.
I know, I know.
The page is a person.
Ruins a page.
Oh, fuck off.
Fuck off.
You've ruined your brand.
I have some breaking news.
What?
It's not that crazy, but it's kind of crazy.
Well, like BBC breaking news.
It's from the pop culture world.
Something has happened while we've been sitting here.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't want you to go.
I'm so excited. I'm so excited.
Shit. I love breaking news.
Okay, well, Adele has announced
that she
is taking an indefinite break from music.
Oh my God, what? I could actually cry.
Emily, who's sitting behind the camera, went to go
and see Adele in Munich this weekend.
Did you? Apparently
she did it. She seemed okay.
Was she okay? She seemed okay.
No, I was so hoping you were going to say she's coming
to London. No, no, it's a positive one.
I've spent the last seven years building a new life
for myself and I want to live it.
It's good. It's a positive.
of not for her fans but it kind of is i was praying for a new album i thought you were going to say
a new album and she's coming on tour i'm indefinite break from music i love adele i would die for
i wouldn't die i've got kids and i can't say that but i i would i would walk on hot coals
for adele i will not see you for an incredibly long time is that how she's finished it yeah
she will not see us for an incredibly long time yeah an incredibly long time that's what she said
Do you think I can genuinely cry?
I feel like Emily's on my page here.
I feel like I can actually cry.
That's so sad.
I feel like I did when Amy Wine has died.
This is horrible.
I feel very sad.
I will not see you for an incredible bit.
That's a direct quote.
She also said,
I just need a rest and I've spent the last seven years building a new life for myself
and I want to live it now.
I want to live my new life that I've been building.
Oh, you know what?
Good for you.
Good for her.
This is really crushing for me
because this is when I realized all my own problematic behaviors
where I put people on pedestals,
I hold them to an impossibly high standard
and then I get annoyed with them
when they don't do what I want them to do
even though Adele doesn't need to do
what I need her to do
because Adele needs to do what she needs to do
well this makes me think of something right
I was thinking about this
and I really got myself into quite a tears
thinking about this
I think about Taylor Swift right
okay
is she the most famous woman on the planet
maybe now the Queen's dead
sorry but Taylor Swift was
was more famous than the Queen
I don't know about that
Really?
Yeah, I feel like, no, I feel like she's on so much money and like, like, God's, you know, like, I don't know, it feels like, no, I really feel like the queen was.
Yeah, no, I feel like the queen was like, no, she was like, no, she was like, she was like, she was like, she was like, she was like the queen.
Yeah, but like, okay.
No, but like, come on.
If you go to like, like, like, okay, we're in like, we're in, we're in, we're in Nairobi.
Like, there's like 70 year old man.
Yeah.
You show him two pictures.
Taylor Swift, the queen.
I feel like he's going to be like, that's the queen.
Yeah.
I'm not sure about that one.
I don't know.
I feel like she's literally like,
she's seeped into like every single part.
To be only, actually, I'm thinking about it.
I'm like, no, of course she'd be big in Kenya.
Why wouldn't she be big in Kenya?
Then I was thinking maybe somewhere in like, I don't know, Japan.
I was like, no, I bet they love her in Japan.
But they love her in Japan.
Yeah, probably.
I can't think of a single part of the world where they wouldn't love Taylor Swift.
I know that's.
So this is what got me in a tears because I was like.
Let me just Google it.
okay yeah who's more famous who's the most famous woman in the world oh
oh no is it someone incredibly obvious
go on it's the virgin mary oh fuck off no it's not
you're joking well i don't know what to do okay right so i don't know what to do i wouldn't
recognize the virgin mary i don't know what to do of course you would she wears a blue
thing and she's crying and she's at the top of every catholic church looking very sad
wait is that my virgin mary yeah that's a virgin mary yeah that's a virgin mary
Mary. Okay, the AI overview, which I wish would stop coming up. Because when I Google stuff,
I get the AI overview and I'm like, who's agenda are you pushing? Yeah, I think that's it now.
So, okay, fine. Right. Well, according to this agenda, it's the Virgin Mary, Oprah Winfrey. I don't know,
man. No, I don't know. Queen Elizabeth II. Yeah. Maricure. I wouldn't know Maricure.
No, this isn't, this is not what like. Sandy Ran. No, this is not what. This is not what.
like no i'm not sure i'm not thinking like virgin mary like maricurey like not thinking that's not what
i'm thinking of like people have changed the women have changed the world no we're not we're not on that
level i'm talking about like recognizing down the street yes yeah who would it be hardest okay
who would it be hardest for them to get into an economy seat on an easy jet flight no no no
I mean, imagine, not just because she's dead, but imagine the queen having, to go, like, seat 9A,
put something in the overhead locker, the queen, no, okay, no, that sounds preposterous, obviously,
but imagine, but right, but I feel like.
Right, I'm reading Reddit, people are saying Cleopatra, if she didn't have her hair in the bunches,
no, this is not, this, then someone said Queen Elizabeth, then someone said Taylor Swift's a strong contender,
to which no one's arguing.
Someone said Duolipa. That's not. That's that...
Could be.
Maya Angelou.
Jane Austen.
No.
Okay, fine.
I think I've googled it wrong.
Who's the most recognisable?
Because I think...
Yeah.
Who's the most recognisable woman?
Oprah Winfrey has come up again.
Wow.
No, no, no. Virgin Mary's...
This is a different list.
Virgin Mary, Queen Elizabeth II.
Rosa Parks.
Oprah Winfrey.
Mary Curie again.
Taylor Swift did not on the...
list. So the thing is I think we've missed out Kim Kardashian but like to me it's different like
because I think Kim Kardashian is just as recognisable as Taylor Swift is she? Yes, is she? No no no I don't
know. Princess Diana was probably more famous than all of them. We're all recognisable.
100%. 100%. Okay but there's like different things we need to take into account here because like
I think I think that Kim Kardashian is probably as recognisable as Taylor Swift but I don't think Kim
has, you disagree.
I disagree.
Okay, fine.
Okay.
But I don't think Kim has the, no, she definitely doesn't have the pull of the fans like Taylor Swift does.
I don't know how to describe it.
What's the word I'm looking for?
She doesn't have the fandom.
She doesn't have the fandom.
From fair, the fanfare, the fan of girls.
She's extremely, she's so well recognized and she's so famous.
I don't think she's on a part with Taylor Swift, though.
Do you not?
No, because I think, tell me why.
Tell me why.
Sorry.
I think, okay, Taylor Swift, like everyone's going to know love story.
I mean, who doesn't know love story?
And you could pretty much go to any corner of this earth.
And people will know that song and people will know Taylor Swift.
But Kim Kardashian, if you don't follow social media, which a lot of people don't do, like a lot of people.
Also a lot of young people.
Like, we care because she's a millennial icon.
But if you've got like an 11-year-old in Mumbai, for example, no, they're.
They'll know, they'll know, they'll know, 11-year-olds, we'll know they're too old, six-year-old, five-year-old.
They'll know Taylor Swift. A five-year-old's going to know Taylor Swift.
A five-year-old in a country where they're not on the TV all the time, the Kardashians,
is way more likely to know the...
No Taylor Swift, because they're listening to the radio.
There is not been...
There has not been anyone, I don't think, who has been so consistently
featured and published in the media and on social media.
media than Kim Kardashian, like she's set the precedent for it.
And because I think she's, she's nailed as well something that other famous people
previously haven't, which is like staying relevant. So she spans her like, her like popularity,
it's not even popularity, but like her no notoriety spans a really long time because
of that, because she's been able to keep so relevant. Yeah. I don't know. She's just, she's still
She's very pervasive.
I think the queen chips on both of them.
The queen, yeah.
It's very different, isn't it?
Different demographics, but we've got to think about the different demographics.
There are a lot of different demographics.
There are a lot of different demographics.
There are old people everywhere.
And there are super young people everywhere too.
And it's like, she's the queen.
Do you know what I mean?
I know she's dead now, but like she's super recognized.
Like, even the, like, I don't know, I keep thinking of the sex pistols poster.
I'm like, she was on that.
She was on everything.
She's on all the money.
She's on all the money.
She's on all the money.
Although who uses money anymore.
No, Charles is coming on, but they haven't got rid of the old money because they don't just.
Money fascinates me.
Did you see?
Money fascinates.
I know.
Print it.
They just print it, but they can't print too much of it because then the money that we've got isn't worth anything.
Don't.
But why do they need to keep printing it?
Because what happens at all money and how can they ever know how much money is truly in circulation
at any given point?
Because what if one person had a million 20 pound notes underneath their bed that no one knew about.
I hate this conversation.
It's so stupid.
Like most of my child are just sitting at the kitchen table crying
when my dad would try to explain this to me.
Why can't they print more?
It just means like super frustrated.
Invation, economy.
I don't, fuck off, I don't know.
But there is a book now called,
why can't we just print more money, I think it's called?
Have you seen that meme on TikTok?
And it's like, I just want to feel alive.
I just go to a pub for the finance pros on a Friday night
and ask someone why they can't just print more money.
That's good.
I like that.
I think it is fascinating.
Did you see?
I shared a.
rejected petitions
it's read
it's so so funny
in fact I'm just going to read a couple of these out
because they are brilliant okay
and after you've done that we need to go back
to the email that you started
I think we're going to read the email on the next
I don't think we should do that
I think it's not fair because all we've done is read the
praise from email
about what great mom we are I thought we haven't started
the email we just read about how good
moms we are and how much we like
I thought we hadn't even started on it.
So we'll do the Reddit and then...
That, my friends, is what you call a tangent.
Oh my God, my Gmail's like refreshed and everything.
It's been that long.
Okay.
Needed cheering up a bit.
So we went on the rejected petitions of the government website to see how it was going.
Okay.
Put David Attenborough on the £10 note.
That's a fair enough request.
This would celebrate his achievements and his legacy.
Also put animals on all the coins.
So when we are bored, bored, we can have him narrate our change.
I think that's a really nice idea putting animals.
Get everyone, another one.
Get everyone in the country to jump at the same time just to see what happens.
I would love that.
Do you think it would make the earth bounce?
I think it would cause the country to sink a bit, but should we find out?
Yes, yes.
Get rid of all the genders.
If you lot can't stop arguing about them, then you're not allowed any at all.
How about that?
That does seem fair enough.
Pan James Gordon from the United Kingdom.
No.
I hate him.
Oh, no.
That one didn't get any legs, did it?
I don't like a witch hunt like that.
Make Dave Tennant a lord.
David Tennant, I would fully sign that petition.
Me too.
Put Shrek back on Netflix and underneath it's just got put it back.
Did you see the video of David Tennant's winning the NTA award?
No.
Oh my God, it'll make you sob.
I watch it every time I need to cry.
Okay, it's like 15 minutes.
We need to fire through these though.
So quit the commentary.
Yeah, put Shrek back on Netflix.
Change McDonald's breakfast finishing time from 11 a.m. to 12pm.
Fair enough.
People have hangovers.
Change the name of the great pottery throw down to Top of the Pots.
Top of the part!
Yes! Subheading, this one is very important.
This is an agenda I can get behind.
Whoever's manifested this is I am voting.
Build a prime arc next a little,
so I don't have to travel a long way.
This petition was rejected.
That's quite a specific one.
It's every prime mark that's got to be next to every little.
Reinstate Pluto as a major planet.
It is unfair to downgrade Pluto after being in the solar system for so many years.
Size should not be a deciding factor when grading planets.
100%.
Like, I feel like all those men that are talking all the time about how size doesn't matter.
size doesn't matter, but all of a sudden when it's a planet.
I agree. Also, my very easy method just feeds up naming planets doesn't work when you take away
the planets at the end. Then it's just my very easy method just feeds up naming.
I've never learnt that, you know, could never get that in my head.
Well, there's no point in having it in your head now because it's irrelevant.
But what I do have my head is never eat soggy wita picks.
Good for the compass. Fine.
Back to this email. Oh my God.
Sorry. Okay.
That was like...
The tangents are over. Even for us.
That was a tangent.
I'll done.
Okay.
Anyway.
I can't remember what she said
at the beginning.
I'm so sorry.
She said that we could talk about our kids
and that she really likes the podcast and she listens to us.
See, I've remembered all the praise and she listens to us consistently.
Anyway, my reason for emailing you is because I'm currently sat in the bathroom at work dying.
I don't want to go back out there.
I am mortified.
Not literally.
Just like.
Mortified.
So I am super awkward.
Because I was taking us to read this email, we could not have got help to her in time.
She would be code red, gone.
I feel like there are other avenues.
I am so sorry.
We didn't read this far down.
We got stuck on the brace.
We had to sit there for a bit.
Rest in peace.
She loves her.
She thinks we're great.
I'm dying.
Okay, no, she's fine, sorry.
Okay, so I am super awkward when I speak to new people.
I'm unsure why I'm like this, as when I'm,
around people I know, I'm really extroverted. I work bank shifts at a hospital, so I have to meet
new people all the time. It never gets easier. A little while ago, a lovely woman introduced herself
and we got chatting and I had realised I said I had kids, plural, in our conversation. She then
asked me how old my kids were and what their names were. I have one child guys, but in my awkward
panicked state, I made up a whole other child. Fair enough. I could have said, oh, I don't know
why I said kids as I only have one but no no no I now also have a son oh my god she did it she
followed do I admire that the thing is I work here often the other staff members no I only have one
child I came in today and a group of girls as usual are all standing round together handing over
and chatting away the woman I spoke to pipes up and says so how was your son summer did your son
and daughter have a lovely time and the room went silent guys there was eyes on me for sure because
they know I only have one child. I couldn't stand there and explain what had happened because it would
make me look even more mental than they already think I am. I just said it was great, thanks,
very busy. FML, they are all probably chatting about it amongst each other. I can never take a shift
here ever again. I'm going to go find my manager and say I'm well so I can go home. I hope you both
have a great day. What are the chances? Love from Anonymous, her daughter and her imaginary son, Jack.
What are the chances that that woman's going to remember, that detail? How many people must
Was everybody me?
I know.
Your son and your daughter, it feels a bit pointed that she's asked that actually.
I know.
Your son and your daughter.
I get that.
That happens, you know, a little mistake and then you can't, you don't correct the mistake in time
and then the mistake snowballs and it's just too late then you can't.
This is giving, you live with the mistake.
Hugh Grant in about a boy.
This is giving, you know when he made up his son so he could go to single parents alone
together, he could spat meetings.
Yes.
That's that.
Exactly.
Poor girls.
It's not great.
It's not a great.
It's not great.
It's not easy to unpick.
It's not easy to unpick.
The chance to unpick is gone.
I think going forward now, you're going to have to double down gaslight.
You do have a son now.
Everybody else.
What you should do?
I've got a really good idea.
I've got a brilliant idea.
Yeah.
Get a dog.
Make sure it's a boy dog.
Get a dog.
Call it Jack.
Yep.
And then you'll be like, oh no, sorry, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.
If you're talking about my dog son.
My boy.
My boy, Jack.
My child.
Yeah, yeah.
My son.
There you go.
Just solve that.
Just get a boy.
Dog.
Get a dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well done.
Okay.
You're still insane.
I needed a bit more praise for that.
I thought that was really good.
It's not, it's not perfect.
No.
No, because if she's asked enough details to follow through, like, how old's your son,
I feel like it should come up at some point.
that it's a dog.
Like I feel like if someone asked me that
and I said, oh, I've got two daughters
and they'd go, oh, what they like?
I'll go, well, one of them's a labradoodle
and she's nine and then the other one's a baby
and she's one.
See, I'd be like, oh yeah, that's so sweet.
Okay, but if you leave enough time
between the conversation, gaslight her.
Well, that's why.
Gaslight her.
No, I told you I had a dog.
This is so weird.
I've only, I've only ever told you I had one case.
Is your ears okay?
I thought, and that this feels like,
are you all right?
Because I feel like you might be projecting something.
Do I have to repeat myself?
I've got it.
This is really odd actually
And I feel like you're
Yeah
No I think you've been really weird about this
I've only got as well
Why do you think I should have a son
Am I failing you
Is my family not nuclear enough for you
Right you just you had to paint the perfect picture
Right is that made me more palatable to you
I feel like this is where you should take this
Please do
And before back
And also really sorry to that other woman
No I actually I have some other advice
I think you should go and say
No. I was really fucking weird a little while ago. And I told you I had a son. And I don't. I just don't know if you can do that. I feel like she's not got loads of options. This is the thing, right? If I did it, I would do something like that. And when she tells me, I'm like, oh my God, I would totally do something like that. That's hilarious, but like it's relatable. But if someone did that to me, I would be like, what the fuck? I think that I think she's got to accept that. I think, but I think, but I think, but I think
she'd what the fuck herself and that's okay. I love that it got a name Jack. I love he got a name.
I don't think it's too. I don't think it's like you could have done like it's it's oh yeah in the
grand scheme of but it's bad harmless not bad things and grand scheme of you know things you could have
told her yeah. Could have told her way worse stuff than that particularly as a nurse I mean you could
have told her anything yeah like yeah that patient down the corridor yeah yeah to turn off their life
support that would have been awful oh my God wasn't it I thought you were going to say like patient
confidentiality.
You're like, oh no, it's just
make a killer.
Exactly.
I'm just saying.
It's just fine.
This has been such a chaotic episode.
When it comes out, I really wanted a poll
on the Instagram of
who is more famous, the queen or Taylor Swift,
and who is more recognizable,
Kim Kardashian or Taylor Swift.
Interesting.
I still think Princess Diana belongs up there somewhere.
And in all of that, where's the Virgin Mary?
is she more
you threw me for a loop with that
that's not what I was thinking
that's what Google said
every single article
I don't believe that
I feel that there's a bit of an agenda there though
like I don't want to get into it
but it does feel a bit like on all the AI
generated things Virgin Mary comes up top
I don't know man because she's not even hanging out in that many
of the no I think she's in the Protestant ones as well
but she's not
it's not the only religion
you know what I mean
yeah I'm not I'm not with that
I'm definitely not with that
feels suspicious can I just ask to the table
do you think the Taylor Swift
it's more recognisable, or do you think the Virgin Mary is?
I'm inclined to agree she's on every stained glass window.
Why can't I come to have a picture of in my head?
It's all I can see. Close your eyes. She's got a white handkerchief around her head
and she's got a blue dress. She cradling a baby, famous baby, Jesus. And she's got a tear
coming down her face. Oh yeah, no, no. I'm not sure why she's sad. Probably just a baby
please, but, and also because she had a birth in a manger. Oh, that wasn't even the picture
I was thinking of.
But she kind of looks like the 21st century woman, fox woman there.
You know the one at the start of every film?
Or like loads of films.
Wait.
Sorry, I don't want to disrespect the Virgin Mary.
Bear with me.
She has my full respect.
Okay.
No, no, no.
I need to see the Virgin Mary crying.
Hang on.
Because that's the one I'm holding baby.
I don't know why I think she was crying and that's not a handkerchief on her head.
Okay, listen.
Headpiece.
Around 31.6% of the world's population identifies it as Christian.
31 that's a lot
It's a lot
But also
You don't have to be Christian
To recognize
I'm not Christian
And I recognize the Virgin Mary
She's
She's super famous
She wore blue
God they did loads of pictures of her
Maybe
She um
We need to go
This is
This is
And also probably wild
There's also
There's a photo affair here
Holding a lamb
Cute
And a baby
That's not a bad
Maternity shoot idea
That'll be me
With the next one
That's the random
little lamb.
Oh, please do that.
My baby under the other.
Okay.
Right.
We're going to need some answers.
This has been a chaotic episode, but I've enjoyed it.
And we will see you on Monday.
Love you.
Bye.
Bye.
Thank you so much for listening.
