Should I Delete That? - Is It Just Me: Would you try rejection therapy?

Episode Date: October 9, 2024

On today’s podcast we have a live unboxing… is this the beginning of our new career as ASMR-tists? Alex also has a theory about drinking water… is it all just a conspiracy? We also take a mildly horrifying look at our average step counts and we delve into the world of rejection therapy. Em’s also had a DM saying that everything was better in our grandparents’ days. Could that possibly true and would we survive in a world without tuna baguettes? If you have an Is It Just Me for us - email us on [e-mail]! Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That? is produced by Faye Lawrence Music by Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.

Hi. Hello. Welcome back to to delete that and Mike's light. She's the most impatient person in the world. I'm in Clarkson. We have two deliveries to the studio today, or they're not today. We just got into the studio and there's some post. Our first bit of post. We didn't give our address out, which I'm obsessed with. We must have done. Well, let's see. Let's see. I think that was good at ASMR? No. It was too quick. Okay. It's a book.

Is it the book of the person that's just, that stood us up in the last episode? Right. No. It's not. It's the book of, it's the book of someone we've already had on the podcast, Elaine Casket.

Oh, great. She sent these two copies of Reset that were we thinking your digital world for happier life. I want a happier life. Yeah. Give me anything. Give me a happy life, please.

Okay. And we have something else. Fuck, that's heavy. Oh my God, that's so... What the hell is that? Is that good? No, this is horrible. I hate this.

Oh. ASMR, you've got to do... No, like, you want to make it sexual and you've got to make it slow. It's not sexual, though, is it? It's a bit. Yeah, well, see, I thought that, but then I saw someone saying that on TikTok,

like really defending that and being like, it's not sexual. Well, thou dost protest too much. Oh, it is, okay. Sexual. Oh. Hi, S-I-D-T-T-T-T-T. Just a little something light and refreshing

for those warmer studio days, best wishes the team at Marlish Water. Oh, well, yum. It's a warm studio day today. I've ditched the jumper. I'm Googling. Is ASMR sexual? I wished Google would stop giving me the AI overview

of what Google says. I can't trust that. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Oh, I've put in ASRM. Very different thing. Reproductive medicine. Josh, don't ruin my MS. Well, listen.

Oh, I got that. I disagree. I think you should have done it slow. You know what I mean? Like, really drag it out. No, no, no. This is the opposite of slow. This is like watching Arlo try and open something.

I hate opening things. Like, I just want to get it open. This is horrible to watch. I know. Dave hates it as well. Do you open everything like this? What's happening? This is horrible.

Dex, are you seeing this? Okay, we're done. Jesus. We're in. It's like Godzilla. Oh, okay. So we've got lots of sparkling waters in can. This isn't an ad by the way. Sounds like it, but it isn't. We've got lots of sparkling water in cans. Sparkling Sicilian lemon flavoured spring water. That sounds like a bit of you. What's the pink one? Raspberry. Do you want the raspberry? I'm a bit scared of water at the moment. Apple, no, elder flour. I'll do elder flour. And Brazilian orange. Elder flour, please. I still. I do love elder flower. I love raspberry. Oh, I'm going to. In my third trimester of pregnancy now and I still can't drink water. It's genuinely been seven months of no water. How you look hydrated considering that is the skincare doing the most.

Do you want to see how ASMR's done now? Oh, go on. Wait, ready. Okay, hang on. Please, please let me be silence. No, wait. No, it's making me feel funny. I don't like it.

No, wait, you got it, you know, like. No, it's horrible. No, it's nice. not. Do you want to keep eye contact with you? No, I don't. Okay, wait, wait, wait, really. That was probably quite good. Wait, let me finish. That was probably quite good. That was probably quite good. Yeah, that was slow. It reminds me the Diet Coke advert. Yeah. Well, nice. This has gone well. Cheers. It is really nice. This sounds like an ad, doesn't it? Yeah, it's really not. It's really not. But it does

leave me on to know, is it just me about water? Okay. I've got theory. Okay. I've got theory. Okay. think we drink too much water collectively. We. I don't think you're at risk of that. Our society. I disagree. I don't think, as someone who doesn't know much about anything, especially anything like this, I don't think our body needs as much water as we are told to give it.

No, it doesn't need it. I have learned throughout this pregnancy that my body only needs 500 milliliters of water a day. Okay. generally speaking I will have like non-pregnant I'll have like three or four litres a day with pleasure

tell me why tell me why because I'm such a good because it makes me feel so good I just makes me feel so good because it's psychological no no no it flushes everything out it makes my skin looks much better

do you know how wrinkly like I feel now I feel like a little old raisin but you don't look it I do it you can see it like you can I can see in my face when I'm dehydrate. Not today because I have got toners, hyloronic acids, moisturizers, SPFs, CC creams.

I am. I just come at it from the other angle today. My theory is that the whole, like, we need to drink this much water. Yeah. Is just for us to be able to sell more things, like the bloody Stanley water bottles, right? And stuff like that.

And actually... Have you been spending a lot of time on Facebook while you've been away. Facebook. This is where the conspiracies start. Is it? Yeah, you kidding. Yeah. They want us busy.

Keep us busy drinking water like little sheep. So that big farmer can inject chemicals into our water and kill us. No, okay, not that far. But I just think your body knows what it needs and you get thirsty. Like I get thirsty and I drink water and that's it. But sometimes you don't. I don't make myself drink water unless I'm thirsty. Because why would I?

I bet you. Actually, I don't know this. I really don't know this. But I imagine in my head that you drink and your body takes what it needs and the rest you just piss out. That's exactly what happens. So why bother? But you want clear we. You want. Why?

I dream of clear weed because then when you're when you're whinging out like honey or like marmalade coloured shit, like that. Okay, well that's not great. No, no, no. So you need clear we because that's when you know you've got everything through. But I do think. Right, there's an amount of water that you have, that is like good to drink. Yes, for sure. But also out, there's like, okay, there's surviving and there's thriving.

Your theory sees you survive. And I love that for you. I want to thrive. No, because I don't feel like I'm just surviving on the amount of water I drink. I feel fine. I tell you what I don't feel fine about is I feel bad because everyone makes me feel bad because I should be drinking, what, two litres of water a day. And I don't want to.

So I'm like, oh, my poor cells, my poor body. Actually, no, no, I don't believe it Can an expert please write in Yeah, and you know what they'll say? What? Drink two litres of water a day. No, I don't, I guess. You can survive on 500.

Like, I mean, you can survive on the bare minimum. I'm surviving on the bare minimum. All I need to do to stay out of hospital is we three times a day. Drink 500 milletters of water and sometimes I eat a lot of grapes because they're super liquidy. And then as long as I weed three times a day,

I'm golden. I'm winning. But that feels like thriving. not surviving to me. The second this baby is poor, I am going to chug down liters, it's going to be unreal. I can't even face the idea of water at the moment.

Like, water disgusts me. Like, not this, because this is flavoured water, but like water water, which normally best drink in the world. I love water normally. Yeah, there's nothing like it when you're thirsty. Famously.

But I don't understand why you were just drink it. If you're not, if you're a body's not saying, like, I need water, why would you just drink it? I don't know. Look, what do I know? no fucking nothing but literally literally nothing uh will say there's no feeling in the world like

being thirsty and drinking water that to me is one of the best physical it um what's going on my glitching i think he's more I'm malfunctioning is one of the best physical feelings in the entire world what you're tasting is survival yeah you're like whoa I am oh my god I love that yeah every time I drink now I'm going to be like survival because I only drink when thirsty What a hero. Like this just feels excessive. The water I'm drinking now is excessive. I don't need it.

I'm like swallowing it down but it's barely going down because it's just not needed. But we don't have that attitude with food. Also I disagree that like tea doesn't count to your water. Like coffee doesn't count as like as part of your water intake. No, it does. It does. Well, it doesn't because it's, it hydrates as much as it hydrates. Dehydrates as much as it hydrates.

Yeah, because of the caffeine. I do drink decaffeinated tea. Oh, what do you want to start? Yes, I actually do. I'm actually super hydrated because I drink decaf tea. I don't know. But then people, well, people, right, I don't even want to get you started on the 10,000 steps a day. I actually have any thoughts on that.

No, any thoughts on that? No, not at all. That's a surprise to me. No idea. I mean, I do imagine that it's something like an arbitrary number, surely that someone's just like pulled out of thin air. Apparently the number's more like 7,500 is what you actually should do. I've ever known how many steps I've ever done it in a day in my life. I'm prepared to bet.

It's not very many. No, no, no. Do you know what? Does your phone tell you? Yeah. How do I find that? Can I have a look? Is it health?

Yeah. I think yesterday won't count because you'll have been walking through an airport. Welcome to help. Welcome to health. I've never been on it. It's going to ask you how many glasses of water you've drunk as well. Don't turn on? Oh my God.

Set up healthy deals. No. Yes, no, do. Well, you just give them nothing. but let's just see what the steps are saying. Oh my God. Your headphone exposure has gone over the limit. I don't listen to that, literally.

I get to all that other time. I get to all that time. I'm like, turn you hit music down. I'm like, no. This is really embarrassing. Oh, no, this is really embarrassing. No, I'm ready, I'm ready. I can't tell you. This is really embarrassing.

I knew this would happen. That's why I wanted you to pass me the phone. My average is 3,849 steps. I can see that. I understand how that happens. But you don't care to walk. In 2023, it was. 4,000 so I've gone down you've walked less this year you've had a baby this year

yes I thought I would have walked more I have thought so too I barely moved and I was pregnant interesting well that's depressing let's see I'm gonna let's see yours well no way I've been stuck in bed all like for the last seven months yeah oh yeah oh this is tragic you're taking fewer steps so you usually do is exactly what it said we know right so my daily average this year yeah it's been 7,000. What? I know. 2023, my daily average was not as high as what I thought, actually.

9,792. And then 2022 was 9,738. 2021 was 10,094. This is a lot of data that my phone is storing on me. You know what I'm going to say, don't you? Excessive. All of it. Just stupid.

unnecessary. Oh, this is so tragic. Okay, if you look at January this year, she, I, walked an average 11,000 steps, February, 10,000, March, 9,900, April, 8,000. When did she get pregnant? May, 4,700, June, 3,000, July, 2000, July again, August, sorry, 2,900. And I'm picking it back up with 4,500 in September.

That's rough. There's something about seeing my... Decline. Sorry. It's like watching the... So I started using a whoop. I think we talked about my whoop. And I've had to take it off for a bit.

Because seeing my data is not great. Like seeing... Don't know. Seeing physical proof. You don't need to see that. Of my failure to thrive. You're so close to the end. So close to the end.

I know. I know. is so temporary. I know I keep saying this. I'm like, I'm going to be like post-serian, like post like cutting through seven layers of like everything. I'm going to be sliving. I'll be out the park. Swish, swish, bitch. I'm going to have a coffee. I haven't a coffee in seven months. Like I haven't had a hot drink. I can't drink hot drinks. This is me. Queen of the silly little latte. I know. I can't wait. Right. I have something to talk to you about. Quick. Actually, I don't know why I so quick. Okay. I might go.

Have you seen the videos on TikTok about rejection therapy? Oh, no, but no. Oh, my God. Oh, no, no, I feel attacked already. No, no, I feel attacked. It's spectacular. Go on. No, no, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not hearing about you.

Everything's about me. So there's this girl who is dealing with her, I mean, there's a lot of people doing it. Rejection therapy. Yeah. They are exposing themselves to situations. No. In which they know they are going to be. judged and they are doing it as a means both they're going to do it as a means of getting over

exposure therapy that exactly that don't like it look at this woman have a lovely flight everybody that is a woman that is a woman who got up at the front of a flight no and said that it's had two million likes and obsessed with her She's done so many Queen of getting out of her comfort zone Oh my God, should we get her on the podcast? Please let's get her on. I'm desperate.

This one has had four million views. This is the one that I saw the first. The headline is asking to wear a builder's hat. No. Excuse me. I just wondered, could I try your hat on? If I have a hat on?

Yeah. As long as I can have it back afterwards. Oh, yeah, absolutely. What do you use this hat for? Stop anything landing on my head. Does it work? It doesn't stop it landing on the head. It stops it hurting.

I'm obsessed with her. I'm obsessed with her. She's just so many things that are just horrible. And it's called rejection therapy. Yes. A lot of people are now doing rejection therapy. So like just doing, ask a stranger to buy you a slurpee. This woman's done.

Ask a stranger to play rock paper, scissors with you. You could just do all of them. I don't really like it when it like pulls other people in though, I have to say. I don't love that. Well, asking a builder to wear his hat. No, like asking someone to buy you a slurpy. What's a slurpy? It's like a, like a, like a, like a, like a slushy.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't want to be pulled into anything on the street. But then you can just say no. Well, no. Obviously I'm not going to say no. Well, that's your work. You need to do...

Someone, I don't want anyone to make me do the work. Go away. Well, then buy her a drink. Stay indoors, I probably will. Stay indoors. I probably will buy her a fucking drink. I am obsessed with it. I love this.

We need to get her on. Like, desperately need to get her on. Okay. She's northern, but... Yeah. Maybe she'll make the trip down. Maybe she'll reject us. Maybe she'll have to be okay with that.

Yeah. I think it's great. I think it's horrifying, but I like it. Could I make you do it for a day? Absolutely not. What would it take to make you do that for the day? Money. How much?

I'm quite cheap. 50 quid? Seriously, because we can go. We've got time today. Absolutely not. I'm joking. At least. I can hear building work.

We could go and find it. We could just go and ask them. Absolutely not. I could never ask to wear a builder's hat because my head's too big. Getting up at the front of the plane and asking everyone to do a little video. I would cease to exist. It's very sweet. I like it.

I think I should do it because I don't think I need it Would you do it? Yes No you wouldn't I'd do the plane I'd find the plane easier Would you do that?

I'd find the plane easier Than the one on one I would find Yeah I'd find that easier than the one on one But that is so many people Can everyone smile for a photo Hey Like fine that's easy

That's easy They haven't to look at anyone The one on one with a build Hey can I wear your hat That would make me want to actually die I don't like asking people. I don't like asking people to do their jobs. Like I don't like asking people in restaurants to bring me things

even though it's their job to do so. I couldn't ask someone who I didn't know to do something that they didn't have to do. I could say I couldn't handle that. I could not stand up at the front of a plane and say everyone give me a smile, not a chance. I just, I, no, no, I can't, I can't. But imagine if that happened on a plane that you were on,

what would you think? Well, there's a lunatic at the front. Oh, yes. It's just nice. Smile. Yay. I was recently on a plane and I asked someone, because she was like, she'd been walking past me in the airport. She was wearing this jumper that said Paris on it.

And obviously, you love Paris? I love Paris. I'm very, you know, I'm very affiliated with Paris. I lived there once. And I don't know if I mentioned it. And so I had seen her a few times. And then she was on her flight. And I was like, I'm going to ask her where a jumper is wrong.

Because it's like, the perfect day of a size fit. And I said to her, do you mind me asking where your parish? She was tied around her waist, where your jumper's from. And she looked at me like, I just asked to like spit on her baby or something. She was so rude about it. And she was like, I don't know. I was like, okay then, bye. That was that?

Yeah. I am always so flattered. Flattered when someone asks me where something is from. I thought I was like doling out like a lovely little compliment, but she was not happy. My husband was behind her, just looking at me like, very straight, looking at me like, I was like a zoo creature. That's odd. Like, are you okay?

My mum bought a shirt on Instagram and everywhere, every time she wears it and she got it as a sponsored ad. She's the only person I know that's bought clothes to her Instagram sponsored ads. Are you joking? I buy everything I'm shown. She's the second person I know about it buys everything. Do you really? Everything I'm shown.

Fascinating. Yeah, she bought this shirt and everywhere we go, people compliment it. And she loves it. What's a little jig? It's got like, I don't know, it's white. It's a white shirt. Okay. background that's like you'll probably be advertised it after this and it's got like sort of

like like outlines like outlines of people and there's colourful stuff and I've seen it I'm sure you have bloody seen it every time she wears it everyone's like wow love your shirt and it's great do you not buy things off Instagram ads never I instantly assume it's a swizz and a con so what do you do when you see it are you I swipe on past I do you I buy everything that like I'm influenced to buy so like if Molly Campi's worn it Sophie miller's worn it like you know I've got my firm faves in terms of influences. Molly influences me a lot. 100%. I'll always buy their stuff. But if I just see like a boosted, sponsored content ad, I trust nothing.

I trust everything. I want to trust them. But like kids clothes. I always get shown kids clothes and I'm like, I can't do this. What if it's flammable? Like, I don't know. I just don't trust them. Aren't anything most clothes are flammable, aren't they?

Well, I'd say everything's flammable if you tried hard enough. I can't think of anything not flammable apart from water. No, I trust everything. Is everything flammable? Yeah, I think so. Apart from water. Mud's not flammable. Steel, I imagine, isn't flammable.

Or copper. Like any metal. Yeah. No, metal must be... No, metal's not flammable. What do you think it's going to be a quicker answer? What's flammable or what's not flammable? What's not flammable?

Our Googles are probably like, oh, they're in the studio again. I hate when these two are together. Right. Non-flammable substances. water nitrogen brick well why do buildings

go on fire then glass blocks of common metals and especially precious metals so like diamond diamond's not a metal oh no

diamonds are still what's a precious metal then like gold gold gold gold gold oh it's everything around the brick

that burns down like the cladding the cladding or the curtains or the curtains because yeah the furniture or the yeah yeah the soft furnishings yeah oh god it's my biggest fear you know it's my like I'm terrified of fire yeah fire are you kidding it would be awful on every level can we talk about did you ever watch when you were little the series of unfortunate events lemony snicket books I didn't know fucking traumatizing I've been thinking a lot about it as an adult they were orphaned oh when they were children and then they

got sent to go and live with the Count Olaf who tries to kill them in every book tries to kill them oh god burns the house down tries to drown them on a boat with leeches i mean there's like the kids they're like 11 7 and a baby baby like Tommy's age and it's four kids these books yes i read them as a child and i watched a film as a child jim carrie plays count olaf oh my god i know he tries to kill them yeah yeah and they're orphans really does sound like a series of what she meant it sounds incredibly unfortunate so much of like so much of disney stuff is so traumatizing. So traumatizing.

Like Lion King still makes me feel funny thinking about it. What? His dad died. Yeah, it was horrendous. That's the least of their worries. Like, some of these stories are absolutely coconuts. I've told you to know why. Yeah. Yeah, they're wild.

Why? But also, like, Cinderella, like, her mum dies, and the dad remarries, because he's weak. And the new woman locks her in the ceiling Attic Yeah But I will say though That she gets a happy ending

So I don't mind that as much Is it a happy ending Or is it one prison to another From the attic Everything's gonna look good Isn't it? She met this guy once She met this guy once

And he actually stalked her Yeah but love was different In those days I got a DM the other day Saying that everything was better In our grandparents' day like everybody everybody now

shares so much it's all better in our grandfather and I've been sitting thinking about all the things that just were terrible

in our grandparents days I know I replied to her as well because I was like that's not the right attitude okay so apart from the fact

that mental health was appalling in the old days because they had to be silent yes and like I don't think mental health

existed in terms of a word no no they didn't have microwaves oh right it was a sharp turn they didn't have

proper trainers. Okay. So they were never comfortable. They didn't wear leggings. They didn't have leggings out. They had to wear like, do they have coffee? Yeah, they had coffee. But not like lattes. Then one frothed the milk. No, it'll have been like instant coffee, right? Get best case. They had to wear ties everywhere and hats. They had makeup and had makeup. Yeah, they had to wear makeup. Yeah. But you couldn't do like the top. They had makeup with lead in. Yes, yes, bad. And you couldn't have it, You couldn't just like have a scruffy top knot. There was no sleep back bun option. It was, it was, you know, being old curls.

Yeah. That television was in black and white. You had four channels. You have photos. Yes. Oh yeah, okay. When do you think your grab votes grew up? You know, Victorians used to take photos of people who died.

That's horrible. They take photos of the dead person. That's really horrible. So if you're like, child died, there's like a whole series I saw online. Oh, that's horrible. I know really weird. I know what always we saw. Yeah.

No, Victorians went to some weird stuff. But that's my funeral started. Anyway. Oh, yeah, they definitely had photos. But you had to listen to the wireless. You had like, you just probably had just the BBC. There wasn't magic. That wasn't capital.

No Smooth FM. You didn't have a phone, except probably there was like one-house phone coming in. Smooth-a-fone is my favorite thing ever. Well, you wouldn't have, you wouldn't have had it? No Pratt. No pizzas. No tuna against. Actually, most food.

No, because like the food, because there hadn't been the big, like, circulation of food. Yeah, I suppose. Really? I guess not. Like, how would you know? When the pizza come to the UK? Yeah, I want to know when like curry houses came. When did pizza come to the UK?

Oh my God, this is so interesting. Pizza came to the UK in several stages with the first recorded mention of pizza in London in 1875 and the first official record of pizza being sold in 1934. God, 1934. Yeah, that's like, I mean, my granddad was born in 19... 100, I think, in 1910. And it was the Olivelli restaurant in Bloomsbury, London.

So that's quite specific. Like, if my granddad's living on the Isle of Man, he's not going to get a pizza for a very long time. Okay, okay, the first branch of pizza opened up in 1965 on Wardour Street. Wow. What do you think it was? Which chain do you think it was? Oh, a chain?

Yeah. Right, it was not going to be Pizza Express because he wouldn't have wanted a quick thing and then it's not going to be Z-Zs. I would have Bella Italia. No, wouldn't, that's quite new. It's got to be Pizza Express. It is. It's Pizza Express.

But it's it called Pizza Express back then. I feel like that's a very modern name. You know what I mean? People weren't in a rush like they are now. And then Pizza Hut opened in 1973 in Islington. That's quite recent. Like, okay, when did people start getting like Chinese takeouts in the UK? 1858, Chung, son, John, opened the Lotus House in Queen's house

in Queensway, Bayswater, which was by all account it's so popular, the customers who couldn't get a table asked for food to take away. That was the beginning of the UK's first Chinese takeaway. No way. 1958. That's my out. You couldn't have had a takeout in your grandparents' day.

Fuck. Like that would have been awful. Imagine every single breakfast, lunch and dinner cook it. Do you think they are all much? No, no, definitely not. No. Because there probably wasn't that many places to go.

And, like, we didn't have the convenience. element. It would have been a big treat, I imagine. It would have been a big treat. Yeah. Yeah, well, we don't know we're born. We do not know we're born. It's ridiculous. See, it wasn't until after this Second World War that Chinese food began to become an integral part of British gastrononomic. Well, that's a mouthful. Gastronomy. Gastronomy. Gastronomy. I overcomplicated it. Gastronomy. Okay. Yeah, restaurante. Olivelli. Okay. You're obsessed with this place. Sorry, I really am.

Yes, please. It's the first place that served pizza, and it's still open. It's got a few branches, actually. Oh, I love that. It's one in St. Christopher's Place. I don't know quite what to Google to get the information that I'm asking.

But, like, when did we start having, like, because I can't imagine that it would have been very easy for people from other, like, nationalities to come to the UK and start a business selling their food. So Indian cuisine, the Hindostan, coffee house

definitely fucked up in London offered Indian food in 1810 obviously the British Empire were in India and I imagine

that there were a lot of people like it because it would be like the diplomats and the important people that were living in India will have liked the food and brought it back

right? Yeah that is so interesting I've kind of never thought about it okay so Wimpy first arrived in the UK in the 1950s

but by the 1980s had lost ground to McDonald's which opened its first UK restaurant in 1974. Because I remember Wimpy's... I don't remember Wimpy's existing, do I? I do, I think about my granddad, like, all the time and like what he would make of this modern world.

He died when my mum was 12, so that was in 1973, I think. And Monson said she never saw him without a tie on. Even on the beach, she'd wear a tie, he just roll off his trousers. Oh, stop it. I know, and now I imagine him now, and I'm like, oh my God, if you saw us on the air, planes that makes me think of my pop but that makes me feel sad but isn't that right isn't that isn't that nuts though like always wearing a tie imagine they wouldn't know how to like he wouldn't

he'd literally like what is wrong with all of you why you wouldn't these grave flanneled like why can I see a willie through your trousers you shouldn't be wearing this put some proper trousers on this has been a weird episode yeah my granddad was born in 1909 in Shanghai that is like couldn't be a further world my granddad my granddad Really? 1909. That's coconut. He'd be, if he was still alive, he'd be 113.

That's insane. That's so old. That's weird that your grandparents are so much older than mine. Yes. Is that not your great? Nope. My mum was a... Surprise.

How old were they? Surprise, surprise, surprise. He was 50 when my mom was born. Oh, wow. And then he died when she was, yeah, 12. I'm so sad I know really sad I know

because her brother was 18 so it's really weird my family like my brother my uncle they've all died now but my mum's brother was 18 years older than her wow

so that's my uncle Finlo she was one of my brother's called Finlay and then there was Auntie Rose and she was 16 years older than my mom and then there was Heli who's five years older which is mad wow

I know isn't it crazy and then there was mom but my grandma wasn't so old she was like about 10, 15 years younger than my granddad. I don't know. But yeah, isn't that nuts? It's like, and I, because also, then, so my dad's grandparents weren't so old.

Like they were sort of more normally aged grandparent age. Do you know what I mean? God, I don't even know how old. Like, I don't. But my grandparents all died and they were like 60. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I never met any of my granddad. It's not great.

Yeah, that's not great. Did you ever meet? Yeah, you did. Yeah, I met one. No. I met all of them, but they... All of them? Three died when I was one.

God, in one year? Oh my God, I like... Was it you? I've actually never put two and two together, but suddenly that's occurred to me. Yeah, that's not great. Yeah, it's not great at all, actually. It's weird, isn't it?

When you think of your parents as people, and you're like, I'm not like, that must have been a really horrible time for you. I know, don't. But you never think about it like that, didn't you? I know. It's just think about ourselves, because we're horrible little people. Horrible, selfish little...

Ooh. You've must have made a child, we're like, to do that because you're not you're not those things i was about to say a very bad word yeah you're about to go and just call yourself a horrible selfish show you're not what was the crime she was born um i just need to know when cans of coke when did cans of coke come into the uk cans of coke come to like when did canned anything come to the UK I really like that water by the way thank you marlish oh my god Coca-Cola classic arrived in great britain 1900 but that's when it had cocaine in it Shut up, no, it didn't.

Which must have been a hoot. Imagine drinking cocaine. Wait, that's why it was called Coke? Yeah. No, no, no, I never knew that. Yeah, when did they take the cocaine out of Coke? No, it didn't come with cocaine in it. Yes, it did.

When did they take cocaine out of Coca-Cola? Never. In 1903, the fresh coca leaves were removed from the formula. Boring. After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using spent leaves. The leftovers of the cocaine, process with trace levels of cocaine. Since then, by 1929, Coca-Cola has used a cocaine-free cookout, coca leaf extract. So since 1929? I can't believe that. I'm not being funny. I didn't

know that. I'm not an advocate for drugs in any form. But imagine the absolute chaos of a world where you could drink cocaine, you'd be unhinged. Yeah, but you're thinking like, 30 years, like 50 years time, they'll be like, oh my God, they used to have this drug called caffeine in their drinks and it would make them go like jittery and a bit, a bit like up. No. No. I don't think caffeine's going anywhere. Do you not think?

No. Or do you think they'll be like, they had this thing called alcohol and they would just drink it. They would drink, they would like binge it. So they would get absolutely like blackout and they wouldn't be able to, they wouldn't know what was going on. They had no control of themselves. I think in a couple of hundred years, yes. Do you think?

People will look back and be like, I think so. What a fucking mess. I think so. Because Gen Z, like the lower, the younger generations drink a lot less alcohol than we did. 100%. But also, if you look back at like medieval times. Yeah.

And like alcohol is like a running theme throughout it. Yeah. And it does seem decidedly messy. Like it all seems very messy. And I think that's good that we don't do that so much anymore. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Where like everybody.

just like drank until they died. We didn't seem to do that so much. Some people do. But yeah, like the culture is what? Like people are going to be like, wait, you lost a whole Sunday. You didn't go to work because you did what? You forgot? Like, how did you, how did that happen?

If you take a step back, it is actually really crazy. Especially the way our generation has used alcohol. Yeah, I loved it. My friend Anna's wedding. My friend Anna and Josh, I do not remember a thing else. I got put to bed. Yeah, this is the lift one, isn't it? Yeah.

The service there. elevator. I look back at that age 30 and think, wild. They will look back at that in the history books and be like, idiots. Wrong. Yeah, very bad. Very bad. But then I also think maybe our grandparents would, like, again, look at my granddad. I think he'd look at us and go, what do you doing? Do you do people did shots in the, yeah, they must have. Yeah, they just sat and drank, they drank whiskey meat. Yeah. Well, imagine, Alex, imagine the fucking state of us. If we sat in this studio, like they did, In the 50s and 60s, like, mad men here it and just drank neat whiskey. I don't think it would be very good.

Can you imagine? I don't think it would be very good. How did anyone get anything done? I don't know. It would be horrible. They just drank it out like, do you want to whiskey? It's like 11 in the morning. Do you want to drink whiskey?

It's going to drink whiskey all day. That's... You'd feel disgusting by the end of the day. I would be dead by the end of the day. I would feel very dopamine depleted at the end of the day. If I had to sit and drink whiskey, if you told me that like tomorrow, you've just got to drink whiskey or no water just whiskey that's horrible it's a horrible prospect yeah i always thought that animal product like eating meat i always thought that that would be another thing that like in a hundred

years time people would like oh my god i can't believe they did that and actually i don't think that's right anymore because i think we've seen like it's everyone moved towards veganism and like meat-free products and i feel like we're having that shift back towards them my issue as somebody that doesn't eat meat and doesn't partake in the animal produce life is always mass production and unethical farming like I think there's so much injected into meat there's so many chemicals in meat there's so much in humanity in the production of meat like if I could be sure that I was like buying from a local farmer who looked after their animals and like reared them well and gave them a happy life and killed them in a humane way

and maintained the cleanness of the meat or whatever I could I could probably get on board with that I don't think I there's no there's no way I would ever go back to eating meat I was going to say would you eat you would no no no but you yeah yeah I will never eat me again as long as I've not purpose like couldn't do it but I don't think I've ever felt compelled to give it up if that had been my only experience of meat but

what I hope is that in a hundred years people will look back at the ethics yeah exactly and the farming and like these huge like slaughterhouses and that sort of thing and be like bad and the air dairy industry is so inhumane and I want people to look at that a bit better but I don't know if they will I don't know if they will

I don't think so you know because we just need cheap I think we had a period of there being awareness around it and I don't think that's there anymore. I fear it's going to get worse. Yeah, I think it, I mean, and I've started seeing accounts people doing like, like what I eat in a day as an animal eater. Yeah. And I see people like, I feel like it used to be something that was like a little bit like

shameful. Yeah. But I also think people want cheap and convenient now. Yeah. Which I do understand people need. Like people can't, you know, like cost of living and whatever. Yeah. So there is a big push for that,

but people are not willing to pay for meat. And that really upsets me. People who can. What value... Afford. Like, yeah, I knew a guy is to live with a guy, genuinely, probably the worst person I've ever known. And he, and I could, I should have known on this.

I should have known from this very thing that he bought battery farmed eggs and he, and I was like, I know what your rent is, because it's the same as mine. Yeah. You can afford your fucking organic eggs, your scummer. Yeah, that is bad.

And I'd call him out on it three, and I'd be like, please let me buy them. Like, this is just really makes me uncomfortable. even before I go with me, I was like, just makes me uncomfortable. You don't need to do this. Please stop making the demand.

That's really bad. That is a bad, no, I don't. No, he is a bad person. But he's a bad person. He was a bad person for so many reasons. I came back to my house once when I was living with him. I haven't ever told you stories about this man. I came back to my house once.

I'd been away from on holiday for a week. And I sat down in the sitting room and I thought, something's different. And it took me a minute because I had had a night flight. Everything in the flat that wasn't a very, heavy piece of furniture was gone. Every single thing.

Where had it gone? Well, I was like, where the fuck's it gone? And I went upstairs to my room and everything from the living room had just been thrown into my room. Why? He'd had a party. So he'd put everything.

You're fucking kidding me. But I mean like the skybox, the remote, all our photos, like the flowers. Like he'd thrown the flowers and the vase into our room. It was awful. I hate that. He was awful.

I hate that. He was awful. I also found Jiz on the sofa. No, you didn't. It was actually shitty Jiz. It was very bad. It was what? Shitty Jizz.

Shitty Jiz? Shitty Jiz. What do you mean shitty Jiz? You're kidding. It was really bad. He was absolutely off the wall, this guy. This is not where I thought we were going. I know.

Yeah, he was not a good man. Never mind the battery farmed eggs. Oh my God. On the Shiz on the sofa. All the shit on the sofa. All the fact that all my stuff had done the moment. He was all right. He was just.

He was an absolute horror. Oh, he sounds like a horror. I know. And every time I tidy the house, he'd, like, come and make a mess and, like, on purpose. He was a really, really nasty person. Good ridden.

What's he doing now? Do we know? I bumped into him once and I hid. I saw him walking down the road and I thought, I'm not fucking doing this. So, like, the adult that I am, I ducked down behind a hedge and I wait until he walked past.

Well done. As long as I live, I was like, I never need to see you again. Very proud of you. Yeah. It was horrible. Oh, he's horrible. Yeah.

Well, on the note of shitty jizz, let's let's leave everyone to it. I had to throw the whole, that was so bad. Yeah, I had to get the whole sofa dry cleaned. It was really bad. And I sniffed it, you know, and I shouldn't have done that. Why did you do that? Because I didn't know what it was.

I didn't know what it was like a biscuit. Like I didn't, you know, I had boo her. I was like, what is that? Is that like, is someone sat on a biscuit? What is that? Is that ice cream? Oh my God. Shizzy Jizz.

Very bad. It was very bad. I hadn't thought about it in a while and I wish I, I wish, I wish, I wish that while had continued. Can we not call this episode? Chitty Jizz, please. This has been horrible. This has been really horrible.

Please fact-check everything you've heard. This has been very unhinged this episode. I'm really sorry. I don't even know how we started, but we're here. We'll see you on Monday and huge apologies. Love you. Thank you so much for listening. Should I delete that is part of the ACAS creator network.
