Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, welcome back to Should I Delete That? I'm Marks Light. I'm in Clarkson and guys. Prepare for whiplash. You fucked up. We fucked up. You don't like the new format and it's fair enough. So ignore everything we said, all the changes that we made.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Normal service will resume. GBAs are coming back. And is it just me's or as silly as they've ever been? One tiny change. Okay. Wait, which one? Wait. Sorry, I thought we were on the same page, but I'm not actually sure what you're referring to.
Starting point is 00:00:40 There will still be a topical element to the episodes. Right. So it might be that we don't necessarily have a guest every single week. And sometimes it will be just us discussing the topic. But yeah, we are going to keep it more topical. But we're going back to our Thursday. Is it Just Me's? because apparently you guys like it.
Starting point is 00:01:00 You miss the silly. You like the good, bad and awkwards. I thought everybody hated it. Yeah, yeah, me too. Me too. Oh, my God. That's the first time in our whole career that we've asked for advice and read it.
Starting point is 00:01:11 And we didn't take it that badly. I mean, there were a couple of, like, stabs to the gut. But we've taken it really well. And actually, one thing that we did read a lot of was that you guys, you don't care for the baby chat. So I know. That's far enough. We've put both babies in the bin and.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Just that now. Fuck him. Forget it. Hello, who. Yeah. No. Sorry. Refret.
Starting point is 00:01:39 That was, we tried it out. Didn't work for them. It didn't work for you guys. So completely understand. Back to the drawing board. No more baby chat. No, you didn't come here for a mom podcast and like, yes, within the context of our own lives and our good birds and awkward. I'm sure they'll come up.
Starting point is 00:01:57 we haven't really been them council wouldn't take them the council wouldn't take them since she built her but we get it that's not why we started this and we do want the silly stuff back and it's actually such a compliment
Starting point is 00:02:13 that you guys miss fucking thickers that we were because I know you're laughing at us I know you're not laughing with us and the thing is I think we kept like we tried to like race through the good bad and awkward every week didn't we because we were like
Starting point is 00:02:27 we were kind of like oh people only want like a tiny bit of this they even want it at all and then we ended up being like no they don't want it at all and actually you did I don't know yeah
Starting point is 00:02:37 I mean we shouldn't be encouraged because we'll go back to the beginning when our good bad and awkward lasted like 45 minutes and Daisy was like tearing her hair out like guys you can't do this it's not a coincidence this is the longest Daisy's hair has ever been
Starting point is 00:02:52 that's very important it's basically down to her shoulders and I don't think it's a coincidence She had a pixie cut that whole first year. You're welcome, Daisy. But prefer to lose it again. But you enjoy being balls because we've been encouraged. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:06 There's no stopping us now. Which me, there ain't no stopping us now. We're on the move. Okay, sorry. Do you know, I was about to ask for more feedback because we asked for it on Instagram. We asked for like really honest feedback and it's great. Well, yeah, basically what we've just told you. I was going to ask for some more.
Starting point is 00:03:20 But then we're all, it's too confusing, actually. Yeah. I don't know. had it now, haven't we? We don't need anymore, do we? No, no, no, no. It's too much. Too confusing. Going back to where we were. And we also can't change format again. Like, there's... Not now. Not now. Not now we've done this. There's, like, listening to feedback and then there's just like chaos, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:40 And I think, like, we, we can't. We just can't. I mean, there's definitely something to be inferred from, like, like, confidence within ourselves and, like, how we shouldn't be reliant on external validation. And I feel like it's just not for now. I feel like right now, we... solely rely on external validation. We don't know who we are when we're not being perceived by you. So, with that said, welcome back to Is It Just Me? Let's get silly.
Starting point is 00:04:08 The old school, normal, silly, is it just me? And we're going to read some embarrassing stories. Before we do, can I just tell you something really funny? I was just outing myself on Instagram. This wasn't meant for the pod because, you know, I thought we were a serious establishment now and we're not, so I can say it. I was remembering that time and I definitely told you about this
Starting point is 00:04:27 when I was reading that book that had been translated from French and I read a word and I was like what is it? And it was like, lie ed and I kept asking Alex what it was and it was just the word lied and then
Starting point is 00:04:37 I was remembering that time that my brother and I were playing Boggle and he looked over my shoulder and he was like, what's fowler? I was like, four. Like, anyway, so I put it on Instagram like one of you guys
Starting point is 00:04:50 like, have any of you guys got any of these to make me feel better And there were loads and loads But my favourite was a girl who said Archive She thought the word was Archive Archive Isn't that so nice I remember Alex reading the word
Starting point is 00:05:04 Anniilation once And he was like Have you guys seen the film Amphilation? And I was like Who's Amphalation? I don't know her Oh
Starting point is 00:05:12 I mean but why wouldn't it be Archive Why wouldn't it be archive? Why you put in the same to do? I hate it. It's nonsense Like, we don't make sense. The language doesn't make sense. The language doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So someone sent me a thing, someone sent into that box that they always thought the word preface was preface until they heard me say preface on the podcast. Now, I have to confess, I didn't know preface was preface until my mom was like, preface. It's not preface, it's preface. I'm like, sorry, sorry, Mom. So I'm a very recent adopter of preface because I thought it was also preface because that's what the word says. Look, I don't want to burst your bubble, but I'm not entirely sure that you're even saying it right now. I do think I am either. But there's ways and words my mum says that.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I'm not sure I'm right. I think you're saying preface. Say it again. No. I think it's like preface, like, like with a you, like a you sound and like a, like a purpose. Why didn't they put a you in there? What if they put an A in there for? I know.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I know. Makes no sense. Stupid. But like I preface this with rather than profess. Also, they say that like it's five before eat. accept after C, but it's not. There's loads of examples when it's not to say, oh, before he, except in these, like,
Starting point is 00:06:29 very specific 15 words. And it's like, well, I trust nothing. How do you spell receive? I don't know. I think we, like, purposefully just want to make it difficult for people who are non-English mother tongue speakers and trying to learn. Honestly, I do. I think we're just being awkward. Bilingual people, not including you in this,
Starting point is 00:06:46 are the most impressive people in the world. And I don't include you because you learned it the other way around. People who learn English second, medals for the lot of you. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but I'm not, I'm definitely not bilingual. But, like, I, I love, like, people who are actually, like, bilingual, like, from birth. Like, they've been brought up with two languages, like, that fascinates me.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I've been thinking quite a lot about teaching Arlo's second language, but then how? Because I went away recently with my friend, and she, or she was away with us, yeah, went away with my friend, anyway. And she has a French husband and her kids speak French. And like, there's a two-year-old who speaks fluent English and French. I know. And she came up to the table and she started in French and then looked at us and thought, look at these pasty fuckers.
Starting point is 00:07:36 They could only be English. And then, like, completely recalibrated and just started again in English. I'm like, you're two. You're two. But they know. It's so clever. My ex-boyfriend was, he was, is from Germany. And his mum, so brought up in Germany.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Germany, but his mum was English. So he doesn't really know what his mother tongue is. It's kind of both, which is really crazy. And he has a twin sister. And they just go in and out of German and English as they speak. And it's the most magical thing to witness. I just, it just fascinates me. I think it's so fucking cool. Like, I wish I had married a French guy. Sorry, Dave. I feel like all those things you shouldn't have said. Like, oh my God, my ex, he's so magical. I just love him when I miss him. Tough, he's gay. Yeah, there's no going back on that one. But I do, like, I do, I love Dave. Don't get me wrong, right? Big love for Dave. But only speaks English.
Starting point is 00:08:37 And even that, he can't really be asked with. How do you happen to speak another language and fluently? And as his mother tongue, that would have been stunning. No, I have something to say. So Alex speaks Irish, like, not fluently. Does he? Yes, because they have to learn it in Ireland up to junior service. So they're like two cissies.
Starting point is 00:08:57 So occasionally he says something. Like, he only says open the window in Irish. And it's very confusing because it sounds exactly like it should be in English. I kind of know what he's saying, even though I might get him in here. Oh, please get him in here. Yeah, I'm going to get him in here. It's the weirdest thing. Alex!
Starting point is 00:09:14 Oh, this is exciting. It doesn't make me swoon in the way you think. But when you hear him speak Irish, you'll probably understand what. It's very chipper. It's very cheery. Babe! Before he does it, what is your impression of him doing it, please?
Starting point is 00:09:29 Something about the Finiogue. Can you do it? Can you do it? There's a bit of Finiogue. Finiogue is window. Okay. You see what I mean? Finiogue's not a sexy word.
Starting point is 00:09:38 It's not being like, Levo, cachet, it's not that. It's like, Finiogue. Sorry, Irish, but Finiug's not the one. It's not a knicker dropper, is it? Nicker dropper. He's on a call.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Rubbish. Okay. We need to get him to, like, voice note and we'll drop it into the episode. When he finishes it's cool, he can come in and do it as a little treat for listeners and so stick with us till the end. Excellent. Excellent. I think I've ruined the surprise by saying Finiogue, because that really is the highlight of the sentence. Finneug. Can I read out an embarrassing story, a small one, but I just enjoy it so much.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yeah, more than anything, I would like to hear that. I don't enjoy it, actually. I don't enjoy it, but I also really enjoy it. Okay. Hi, firstly, I love the podcast, and I've been a fan from the beginning. Oh, that's so nice. thank you. I have an awkward and embarrassing story that I need to share because the cringe is too real. Obviously please keep me anonymous. You'll understand when you read.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Imagine if one day we just didn't. Imagine if we just read out a full email address. Do they would be cancelled for that? We'd have docks her and we're women. So yes, we'd be cancelled for it. Do you know what? This is, this is unfortunate because she's got a last name which just is brilliant and would just be so good to share but I... We're not going to. She's press it. She'll be on the edge of her thing by and I'll be like, Don't docks me. Don't fucking talk to me. Respect your privacy, Helen.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Don't just kidding. She's not called Helen. She's not called Helen. Can't confirm. She's called Samantha. Enough. We don't know anything. Done.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Me, my dad and my boyfriend spent the day together and we went to my house so I could take my dad home. When we're ready to leave, I stroked a butt, which is what me and my partner do to each other a lot.
Starting point is 00:11:14 But it turned out to be my dad's. No, no, no. Stroked a butt? stroked a butt like that just sounds like ah it's like oh a butt stroke it I don't know if this is a bit too weird to put
Starting point is 00:11:27 on the pod but I need to know I'm not the only person who's done this because otherwise I'll die of embarrassment you're not the only person to have done this do you remember back in the day this is a really long time ago when we had a woman right in to say that her
Starting point is 00:11:39 to say that her dad had come up to her come up behind her she looked like her mom especially from behind very similar to her mom her dad had come up behind her at party and squeezed her boobs absolutely horrifying not as bad as the blowjob story in Amsterdam oh god yeah the one that gave a blowy to her dad not as bad as that but still I would not like to stroke my dad's bum I think you can pass off a stroke though a pinch
Starting point is 00:12:07 harder a stroke's like oh oh Alex's here babe yay can you ask me to open the window in Irish please oh yeah I can't open these windows I've got on them. Osk-Lonfueniog. See what I mean. How are you nickers feeling? Nice, babe. Very dry.
Starting point is 00:12:32 He does it all the time. So I actually don't know what the Irish accent is in, like speaking Irish, but that didn't sound very dissimilar to... Well, actually, he's got an Irish accent. That makes sense. Okay. That's what I mean. when he says things in Irish
Starting point is 00:12:49 because Alex's accent when he speaks like on the podcast or on the phone or like when he speaks to like I don't know when he's when he's deliberately speaking he's really good at like annunciating and I think he sounds a lot more English like I don't think he sounds very Irish at all
Starting point is 00:13:05 but when he's just like can't be asked or he's just talking to me quietly or he's on the phone to one of his Irish friends he sounds way more Irish so when he says stuff like that in like a chill way like, it sounds the same. The accent sounds the same as the word.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Do you know what I mean? Like, even though the words are completely wrong. But then I read something the other day that was like, really fucked with my head. And it was like all the sentences were wrong. They were all the wrong way round. But I read them all the way, I read them all the right way around.
Starting point is 00:13:36 No, I didn't even notice that they were wrong. Yeah, that's crazy, isn't it? Yes, I think I'm a genius. I think I'm the cleverest person in the world. Yeah, I remember that being like in my sixth form. I remember something like that being on the, I don't know, it's a, it's, there's a name for it that we can read sentences. As long as the first word and the last word are right,
Starting point is 00:13:57 then the words in between can be jumbled and we'll still get it, which is crazy. It is crazy. The brain is amazing. And then sometimes I think the brain's so, it's not amazing. Stupid. Yeah, no, I agree with you. I agree with you. So stupid.
Starting point is 00:14:09 And also like, why give us mental illness? Well, I do keep thinking about this. Why not just function well? Like, so I was talking to my brother the other day and he was explaining, well, when I say it, it kind of sounds like he's just mansplaining, which I suppose he sort of was, but it was in a nice endearing way, so it was fine. But he was basically explaining how he'd what, I'm going to say he read something, but he doesn't really do that.
Starting point is 00:14:31 So I suspect he watched a TikTok video. Anyway, about how like, you know, like the kind of the reaction that we have, like the stress reaction that we have to, like, perceived threats and like how our brains can't tell them apart between like the physical danger that we would have been in in the olden days when like a lion was chasing us versus like when someone's a little bit mean to us on the internet, I find that like so interesting that like my flight and fight response gets triggered so easily and I'll be lying in bed and Alex looks at me with all the logic in the world and he's like, babe, nothing's happened. I'm like, don't make me feel like a fucking idiot if we
Starting point is 00:15:10 could please. I'm just imagining you getting the fight or flight response in bed and like either like boxing Alex or just like running out the window. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the temptation's real. That's what I gotta go. I know, I know it makes no sense. Like evolution is, evolution has like done some cool things
Starting point is 00:15:29 and it just hasn't caught up in so many ways. Like catch up. Yeah. Like why can't I ring for rim service? That feels like a design fault. Like why am I so scared to bring and ask for food? It's like in the olden days I'd have had to catch it with my teeth. And now I'm like, hi, I'm so sorry to bother you.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Catch it with my teeth. My sister ain't asked for ketchup and it's so annoying because I have to be the one everywhere that asks for ketchup. And I don't even want the ketchup. And I'm like, Jen, it's so easy. You put your, no, you don't put your hand up actually. You don't put your hand up. I don't know why I said that. But you wait for, it's just easy.
Starting point is 00:16:10 It's just easy. I won't go anywhere. I won't go in first. With Alex, I will never go in first. It drives him up the fucking wall. What, up her, into a place. I'll follow him. I will not go in first.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I can't do it. Yeah. I don't want to be followed. I get that. And I don't want to be the first one in there. It's quite intimidating when you walk him to somewhere. It's incredibly intimidating. But it shouldn't be, Al, because it's not the threat that I perceive it to be.
Starting point is 00:16:36 It definitely shouldn't be. Oh, I'm really, I'm really scared to walk into Wagamombers. Grow up. Grow up. Just walk It's not the fucking Okabanga Delta You'll be fine I know this isn't the place for good bad and awkward
Starting point is 00:16:57 But can I give you a bad I'd love one In the spirit of like Just I don't know Throwing everything That they want at the people Right so we did an episode We recorded an episode last week
Starting point is 00:17:09 That actually we're not putting out anymore We'll get back on to that in a second but in it, I talked about being nervous and I said I was nervy-pervy, right? You didn't say it once. You said it like 10 times. Well, I was saying it after as I was laughing at myself. It was a joke.
Starting point is 00:17:24 But initially, it kind of just came out, oh, I'm really nervy-pervy. Weird, I don't know, strange. But we laughed. We laughed and we moved on. Daisy was editing the episode and she texted me and she's like, I'm going to take out that bit, if that's okay. She didn't say why?
Starting point is 00:17:38 She didn't give any context. Did she? She was just like, I'm going to take out the nervy pervy bit. And I was like, oh, God. She branded herself a pervert. It's not good for business. Okay, so that felt horrible. We did delete the whole episode, though.
Starting point is 00:17:51 The whole episode. And I love this for us, right, guys. So we recorded an episode last week. We did a big Q&A because we thought, you know, that's what we should do. And we actually both hated it. Like, as soon as it finished, both of us were like, hated that. It sounded like an idiot. Al sounded like a pervert.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And then we read all the feedback. And to be honest, a lot of the questions were about being moms and like. I know. Our friendships have changed as being moms and all the stuff that we did this whole episode. And then we just read all the feedback this morning and we were like, we can't buy that episode out. Put it in the bit. Do you know what though? I think that's the primary motivator for taking that, for like leaving that episode.
Starting point is 00:18:26 But I just hated the episode. Like, it was the most miserable. It was miserable. Someone asked us what our goals were. And I said that I wanted to lead an unremarkable life and you were like, okay, let's move on. I think Daisy should, I think we should get that as a standalone clip days if we could just put it in summer. because we asked Al what she wanted
Starting point is 00:18:44 and she just said she wanted to be unremarkable and then when she explained it she gave me the saddish explanation I've ever had to anything
Starting point is 00:18:50 in my whole life I literally it was like watching an RSPA advert it was horrible it was bleak it was really bleak except there was no
Starting point is 00:19:00 help blind there was nothing I can do there was no donations page it was just you being like yeah I just want to be I'm just fine being I just don't want to be
Starting point is 00:19:07 I don't I just don't want to remember any I just don't I'm just tired be unremarkable. Just leave me to it. I just don't want to be remembered. I didn't even bring it back up. No. There was no laugh at the end of it. There was no joke. We were just like, it was just like awkward silence. So you were like, okay, another question. And it was horrible. And I was like, I hate this episode. I hate this Q&A. I hate everyone.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I'm glad we're not doing this episode. Yeah, well, it's gone. And Daisy, if you use that as a standalone clip, I will be fiorious. I think, I think we should do it as Al's B-roll. You know, when you go and to give, like, talks and stuff, they can just play that at the beginning. I just want to be, I don't want to be remembered. I just want an unremarkable life. Little life. It was so tragic.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Oh my God, I'm obsessed with this. Okay, someone has sent a message. Is it just me who is absolutely fed up with TikTok? My friend recently came across a video of someone selling fake belly buttons. She sent me an article about it. She said, I deleted the app long ago, really irritates me. Is it just me? So the fake belly button, she sent me an article to the New York
Starting point is 00:20:17 Post. Oh my God. Fake belly buttons sold as a quick fix for women who want their legs to look longer. Stop. I want to see this. Fake belly buttons. At the press of a button, you too can have longer looking legs. No need to visit some pricey Turkish chop shop, Turkish chop shop, to make one's legs look longer. I mean, what the fuck is a Turkish chop shop going to do? You can't make someone's legs longer. Cosmetic gurus have devised a much cheaper method of lengthening their stems by applying an adhesive belly button. The way it works is stumpy simply. This does not feel like good journalism. No offence to the journalist. I, the only one who's just realizing that belly buttons look like tiny vaginas. I don't need to see your vagina, but I would quite like to see your belly button.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Tell me that does not look at them. They look like tiny vaginas and I've only just realized it. I was going to tell you that Arlo was obsessed with their belly button, but then I I remembered she's in the bin, so I have to talk about her. I don't know who you're referring to, shut up. My, oh, have you got an in-it? Yeah, you've got an in-y. I always thought out-tees would be more common than what they are. Oh, I wonder what the, hang on.
Starting point is 00:21:24 What I wonder what the stats are on that? Of outies versus in-ies. Oh my God, guess, guess. 80-20. Close. 90-10. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I only knew one girl at school with an out-y,
Starting point is 00:21:37 and the fact that I still remember her kind of tells me all I need to know. what is the outy wait hang on any versus outy vagina yeah some people's vaginas go like below their labias I want to do an episode on vulvers
Starting point is 00:21:53 it wouldn't be in any outy vagina that would be a prolapse it would be the vulva I was gonna say if your vagina's out go to a doctor ambulance ASAP I think you can take yourself I don't 99 nine my vagina's falling out I'm not I'm not sitting down to drive myself
Starting point is 00:22:09 at A&N. No thank you. Can I talk about something really seriously? Can I talk about the police for a minute? Maybe I should do it in the GBA. But can I say how good the police have been to me since I reported this guy? Oh, yeah, go on.
Starting point is 00:22:20 I had a call today from victim support. Amazing. Yeah, they're so nice. Like, am I okay? Do I feel safe at home with my baby? Can they do anything? Like, they're just around the corner. Like, it was the nicest call ever.
Starting point is 00:22:30 That's really, really, really good to hear. I've had three calls from police officers. Like, they're still like, just to that, you know, the investigation's still going ahead. We're right here. Like, we're working on it. But in the meantime, we're worried about your welfare. Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:22:42 Have you got support at home? That's amazing. Isn't it? So they are trying to find out who this guy is? Yes, and thanks to the online safety bill, it's easier than ever. Okay, excellent. Theoretically, they think Instagram should just be able to, I don't know if they will. Give you the information.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So we'll see. Anyway, just what was really cool. That's very good. Back to belly buttons, though. Back to belly buttons.
Starting point is 00:23:07 No, we should do an episode on Volvers. We should. We'd love to do an episode on Volvers, because people get so self-conscious about them, and it's such a nuts thing. And, like, I really enjoy these, like, exhibitions where, have you seen that one where there's, like, a hundred vault, like, clay vulvers? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember that Sex and the City episode where that artist painted Charlotte's? I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Your memory for stuff like that is good. Yes. Isn't it? Yes, it is. Mine is not. Yours is really good. I've noticed. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I've noticed. Well, I can't remember anything else Nothing useful Well, I can't remember anything useful or non-useful So that's fun I am a sieve, I'm a goldfish Yeah, there was a vagina museum in East London I never went, but it looked very cool
Starting point is 00:23:53 I wonder why they don't do Willy museums Maybe they'd be threatening I feel that we do see a lot of willies though Like all the little statues Okay, in Iceland there is a phallological museum There's an Icelandic phallological museum and these are these are wow bloody hell and just Google it guys it's a lot
Starting point is 00:24:15 I want to see how are you spelling phallological just type in penis museum Iceland no I've told you this before I've got childlock on my fucking internet oh foul so P-H-A-O-L yeah no hang on I got it I got it I got it oh god they're ginormous are they real willies I think I don't know yeah I think so They're real willies. They must be right.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Dead animal willies. Dead animal willies. Didn't foresee that. I thought we were just doing humans. Oh my God. Yeah. No, I don't like this, you know. I'm all thought, like, every willy looks different.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Great. Every size, great. Every shape, great. But, like, I'm feeling a bit funny. I'm going to turn this off. Jesus Christ. Elephant willies are ginormous. I read once somewhere on TikTok that, um, that whales willies are as big as a double
Starting point is 00:25:04 deck of us. Wait, let me check. No, they are not. How is a whale penis? That sounds like the intestine fact. No, no, it's not. Okay, how long's a double deck of bars? Okay, so I wasn't right, but it's about the size of a mini bus, Al.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Wait. A whale's willy is 10 feet long. And they can ejaculate gallons of sperm in a single girl. Oh, that literally makes it. That's horrible. Oh my god, it's enormous It's absolutely enormous You already have
Starting point is 00:25:42 Oh mate, that's so gross Isn't it interesting that animals can put them away So I remember when I was younger We had don't know why I don't know why we had donkey They're three don't know why we had donkey They're three don'ties Anyway, one of them
Starting point is 00:25:55 Oh man, it's made me really sad Because they're dead now But one of them had the biggest willy You've ever seen And I remember one day being like And I was young And they tuck them up they just hugh them up and then they and then they let them out when they need to
Starting point is 00:26:10 like out of a little willy pocket it's like they've got built in hands and that makes so much more sense than having it dang about constantly yeah why would you want it danging about but it was yeah no when you let it down it was literally like a fifth leg let it down you know it's like rapunzel repunzel let down your hair oh my god i need to talk to you about these um about these children's books al do you know how old snow white was Do you know how old Snow White was? No, how old? She was seven years old.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Let me tell you this story. So I have started reading Arlo. Right, so someone, I think it's Alex's book from when he was a kid, but like the Grims, Grimes, Grimes, the original children's stories, right? So we've got one of these books upstairs and I read Arlo a story time before bed. And I read it the first one and it was absolutely horrifying. Like truly the most horrifying thing I've read in my life. And I thought, this is fascinating. I'm loving it.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I need to read them all to her before she becomes cognizant because if I do it when she understands me she will literally never sleep again and why should she? So I'm barreling through them right and I read a Snow White last week and I'm going to tell you the story as I understood it Snow White was seven years old mum's dead
Starting point is 00:27:19 Dad remarries The Queen is like I don't know why they all have dead moms Anyway, don't want Arlo get any idea The who's Arlo? Never mind Stop saying Arlo Fine. I was reading the book to myself. I was really, I'm really into kids' books. No reason. I'm just very immature. So anyway. Buwer, you were reading to Vera. I was reading to Boa. And so, so, so, so Snow White was seven. Her mom, obviously you know that mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all. Finds out, Snow White is the fairest. So she's like, right, kill that bitch. This seven-year-old bitch, right? So she says to the Huntsman, out you go, chop her heart out, I want to eat it. Huntsman takes out seven-year-old.
Starting point is 00:28:01 snow white looks like god you really are pretty it would be ashamed to kill you off you go he kills a ball gives the boar's heart to the queen is like yum yum yum eat that fooled she's like right think she's dead great goes back to the mirror who's the fairest of them all mirror's like babes it's not you snow white's fine she's over the hills who's staying with the seven dwarfs so the queen goes over in disguise tries to kill her once doesn't succeed tries to kill her twice doesn't succeed on the third time she gives her the apple right we know the story gives her a bite of the apple snow white curtains, right? She dies. She's gone. She's seven, dead on the floor, okay? The dwarfs come home. They're like, oh my God, this is so sad. But the queen's gone home. She looks in the mirror and she's
Starting point is 00:28:40 like, I'm the fairest peak, right? The dwarves are like, she's so beautiful. We're not putting her underground. That would be a tragedy. We're going to put her in a glass coffin and we're going to put her on top of the hill. And we're just going to leave her there because she's so pretty so we can just go and hang out with her, right? So they left her there for a while. Dead seven-year-old, top of the hill, glass coffin. The prince walks by. The king's son. he's 31 he's like wow she is beautiful he goes to the dwarves and he's like I will buy this coffin for all the money in the world the dwarves go we're not interested and he goes but I love her and the dwarves go well who are we to stand in the way of true love it doesn't matter that she's a dead kid have her so the king's like okay the king's son's like thanks so much takes the coffin back to his palace on the way back they trip they drop the coffin on the way down luckily snow white coughs up the bit of apple in her throat undies hello the king's like wow king's on sorry let's get married you seven year old so then they get married and they invite the queen to the wedding very very diplomatic of them in my opinion but that's just
Starting point is 00:29:44 weddings isn't it you've got to have all the family so they bring the queen they bring the stepmom to the wedding and there's a punishment for trying to kill snow white and successfully for a short time killing snow white they get a pair of metal shoes out the fire and they make the queen wear them Until she dies, in the middle of the wedding, and that's the end of the story. This is not how the film went. No, no, no. Because I saw the film recently at Toddler Club, and this is not it. I didn't know why you'd be at Toddler Club.
Starting point is 00:30:14 You'd have no reason to be there. Nervy pervy. Sorry. Don't know any kids. Don't associate with kids. Why would you? That's horrible. That's grim.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I do keep wondering. That's why they're called Grimm. Maybe it's why Hollow doesn't sleep. Do you know what? I'm not surprised. No, honestly, that one, they're all pretty bad. Like, there was one I read the other day about how, like, this, like, yeah, yeah, it was really bad.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Maybe I could save you, I could read you one a week, because there is some truly horrific. I could do a spark note situation and just surmise one a week because they are, I've got some others up my seat, they're truly horrific. I come downstairs to Alex, like, white is a ghost. He's like, whoa, what happened tonight? Poor Snow White. Just a little seven-year-old trying. That's so sad.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Well, it's her fault for being so god damn pretty. To be fair, she was asking for it really, wasn't she? I mean, what did she expect? She was asking for the death. What did she expect? It's been a journey. This episode has been a journey. I mean, what the fuck have we talked about?
Starting point is 00:31:20 We're back out. We're fucking back. And actually, it feels really nice. It feels right. I've missed these episodes. We didn't do them for three weeks. I love these kind of episodes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:30 but I still missed them. Has it only been three weeks? Shut up, no. It's been a month. Well, hopefully you enjoyed this episode, guys, and I'm sorry for giving you whiplash. Honestly, we're giving ourselves whiplash with all of the back and forth,
Starting point is 00:31:45 but we feel like this. We've landed on something good here, I think. Yeah. This is where we're at. It's just, it is, to be fair, really hard. Like, we do, you know, we're running our own businesses in an evolving industry. like the the job changes really quickly and like you know the platforms change really quickly the content people digest that they want you know everything's like moving and shaking the podcast the podcast landscape has changed so much like it used to be a very basic like just do a recording didn't even have video just recording very simple edit put it out it's not like that anymore people are doing like high scale productions and it's just the landscape has changed and we are like just trying to work out our place in it and also like you
Starting point is 00:32:28 Yeah, for transparency as well. This is something we did talk about in the episode that we've cut. But, like, it's an expensive project, like, business-wise. Like, we do, you know, we obviously monetise it, do the ads that we do on the pod. But to be honest, most months we just break even with it. Like, it's a labour of love for us. Same with the tour. You know, these aren't big, like, money-making projects.
Starting point is 00:32:52 And so we do within, like, what we're doing, within the fun of it, we do also need to work it out of business and we're just, we're just not great at that. Surprising. Who'd have thought? Who'd have seen that coming? But you've got to try stuff and it basically, if it ain't broke, it wasn't really broken. I don't know why we started twatting about. Maybe we need to get like a consultant on to do like a live consult of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Let's not do that. No, no, that sounds horrible. First of all, incredibly boring. Second of all, horribly exposing. this was crap everybody hated this no one likes you yeah
Starting point is 00:33:33 because we've been able to read this feedback in peace by ourselves we've been able to process it quietly but to have to do it live I don't yeah but also we haven't really done it with that much peace
Starting point is 00:33:44 because we've been trying to do this for a few days and when I sent you a text and I was like oh I've had a really anxious weekend and you were like you should have told me anxiety shared is anxiety half and then you said another one
Starting point is 00:33:52 like three seconds later to being like except in our case when it's doubled Tell me anything And I'll make you feel worse 100% If there's one thing Al can do It can take a thing
Starting point is 00:34:03 And then amplify it And that's a good thing And a bad thing You can make whatever it is bigger Oh yes Oh yes Mountain Molehill
Starting point is 00:34:14 That's my jam I love that for you I know Okay well anyway I've got to go But not because I have a baby That I need to tend to Absolutely not
Starting point is 00:34:25 That's not the reason. No. But I do have to go. What are you going to do? What are you going to do instead? I've got to, there's a packet of crisps I need to eat, desperately starving. Yeah, no, gobble, gobble. Gobble.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Delicious. Thanks for sticking with us, guys. We love you so much. We really appreciate you. We love you so much. And we're sorry that we've twatted about with a formula that you like. So it's back to how it was. We love you.
