Hello, and welcome back to Shoulda Delete That.
I'm Alex Lai.
And I'm M. Clarkson.
How are we?
Yeah, good.
Much better than last week.
Your turn to crises.
He'll turn to spiral.
In the rearview mirror, thank God.
Still looks great.
I have two awkwards for you.
Good.
This is what I want to hear.
I want to kick back and relax today.
Let Jesus take the wheel.
Now I'm saying?
I do, lack of washing machine slash lack of water, complicated story out of house,
we're going to the laundret to wash our clothes and wash Tommy's clothes,
went there with two huge bags, like enormous bags, like carrying them in.
It's like I had two boulders on me.
Like a revolting Father Christmas.
Yes.
Why revolting?
Because you've got like dirty clothes.
Like imagine how disappointed you'd be like, father, oh.
Like it's not a skateboard, is it?
Oh, I see, I see, because of what he's, the gifts on, yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry, I should have
got that. Exactly, like a revolting for the Christmas, I was weighed down very heavily with
these bags, so I put everything in there, anyway, went to the laundrette, put them on the floor,
paid, got my ticket, picked the bags up, left. And then the woman came running out after me
and she was like, but you left all your laundry. Clean or dirty? Dirty. On the floor?
I went in with my dirty washing, put it on the floor, paid, picked back up my dirty washing and walked out.
You didn't clean it?
No, because I'm an idiot.
So you just paid for the visit.
I just paid and left.
Oh my God, I think you were going to say you left them.
It's very embarrassing.
I thought you were going to say you left them on the floor.
I was like, how fancy do you think this is all dread is so they're going to be like, you'll deal with these?
No, I took them.
I tried to take them home with me.
How embarrassing.
Yeah, nothing was something chased out of shop for anything.
I did that as well because I was flustered because basically it was 32 pounds.
I had a lot of washing, right?
It was 32 pounds.
I had 35.
So I gave, and it was her daughter who's like, I want to say seven or eight.
Give cash.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think they only take cash.
Nice.
Yeah, okay.
It was her daughter doing it.
So she was like, giving me the, she was like, oh, I'm just going to get you your change.
She went and got me a change.
She went and got me a change.
She came back with a three pounds.
And I was like, because when I,
like helped with my dad when I was little, like people would sometimes say to me like
keep the change, like goodbye to something for yourself. So I said to her, keep that, put it towards
something. You can't get anything three pounds nowadays, but like, she doesn't know that yet.
She doesn't know that yet. Yeah, yeah, let her dream. And I was like, keep that and put it towards
something. And the woman was like, don't you have to do that. Don't do that. I don't know.
I don't know. I just felt like a very awkward moment. I was like, I shouldn't have done that.
Have I offended someone? Have I upset? Someone is like, that not what you do anymore? Is she too
young? I don't know. Is she for three pounds? Is she too young for three pounds? I don't know.
No, surely.
Pocket money still exists, right?
If you're old enough not to eat it, you're old not, you know what I mean?
I'm not around kids that age anymore, so I don't know if I've overstepped.
So I was all flustered and panicked, and it felt like I'd done something that was really weird.
So that's why I picked up my washing that I'd go on.
I see that that felt weird.
Yeah.
Yeah, because.
I don't know.
Yeah, because it's something weird.
No, I didn't think so.
I think it's nice.
Anyway, it was, it was, it wasn't received that well.
So.
No, maybe it was like.
I just ran out with my bags.
And then she ran after me being like your bags that you've just paid for.
Overpaid for.
that's a very stressful situation the whole thing is stressful i don't think you're overstepping i think it's
nice to give a shilling to the to the child it's kind of what that's kind of energy doesn't it
like like like like it's like the days when like children worked you know yeah like i'm imagining
i'm envisaging Hugh Jackman in a top hat greatest showman that's you and then there's like
a street urchin that's the energy just like that and then we burst into song and dance now that
is very laundrette coded that happens that's how many was a Beyonce Levi ad very very very she was
singing in a laundrette yes there's something sexy about them and I don't know what it is there's something
very arty about them I think that's what it is they're always in her you put your face I don't know what
it is that's exactly what it's that was my first awkward my second awkward okay I was having a
therapy session as you know I do I thought you're gonna say threesome so I'm better with therapy
yeah I know exactly when you have a therapy session because it's in all of our diaries it's
all of our diaries. I'm very, I've taken it out now. I'm pleased about that. I don't know who put
it in. Boy, Alex. But I put it was for him. I was very confused. I didn't know we could all see it.
Anyway. Yeah, you could all see it. Great. Fun. Well, that, my famously, I go to therapy. And I, at the end of
the call, as a Zoom call, and at the end of it, I said, I meant to say, thank you so much in her name,
which begins at M. And I said, thank you so much, mom. So we know what we're talking about next week.
and then I just put it down
I said thank you so much mom
and then I was like
I'm gonna just end of the Zoom call
yeah that's a lot
but you quite often call Dave dad
she'll gaslight herself into like
did she actually say that
as long as I don't
as long as I don't acknowledge it
that was in my head I thought
that if I don't acknowledge it
she might have missed
she might think oh I've misheard it
therapist don't do that
therapist is incredibly normal
of all of us
except what if they're not
called her mom how horrible
That's that. Thank you so much, Mom.
Yeah, but that's like, if you had a therapy session since then.
No, that was like two days ago.
Because it's quite, you know.
Freudian.
Freudian.
Yeah, she's going to be like, we need to unpack that, babe.
You know, am I filling up a motherly roll?
I'm just going to deny it.
I'm going to gaslight her.
I don't think it works like that.
Do you not?
No, I think they're in scrupulous.
Challenge accepted.
Scrupulous.
Scrupulous.
Yes.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
I say it often.
Well, have scruples means to have, like, morals.
and value...
Scruples?
Scruples?
Do this one have scruples?
Yeah.
Are you just unscrupled?
I've never heard someone talk about a scruple of scruple being scruples.
Yeah, he's got...
Scruples?
It's the loveliest one I've ever heard.
Yeah, that is right, isn't it?
It's scruples.
A scruple is a feeling of doubt or hesitation with regard to the morality or
propriety of the course of action?
You mean to tell me, I've been having scruples for my whole life and I didn't know
they were called scruples.
What a lovely work, guys.
Oh my God, we're full of scruples.
We've miced up, Faye.
We got an email.
Oh, yes.
We got an email saying that it wasn't nice
that Faye and Dex weren't mic'd up
which I do understand because it felt like
there was a level of disconnect from the listener
which we did not want so Faye is angry with us
because she didn't want this at all
but we're giving the people what they want and she's liked
we're giving this person what she wanted
because we've heard from one person
but we are very responsive to criticism
so well that leads me
that leads me perfectly on to the next thing
I want to, sorry, I'm taking over this, but the next thing I want to talk about is,
you know there's comments now on Spotify.
I wish there weren't.
On the individual episodes.
Yeah, I'm very scared.
And I've only been on once to read them.
Apart from just now, I've actually read through a few.
Are they okay?
Yeah, mixed bag, but I feel like, no, not nothing like bad, just same thing, you know,
like the scripted nature of the body image series.
Yeah.
what it did
polarize people
it did put it yeah it was it was divisive
yeah we could not have done that off the cuff guys
I've got to just say that
like that was all the research in the whole one
no way it also took us
fucking months to write
but there were also people saying that they relaxed into it
not not relax into it sorry that they
they got used to it
and that they thought that we relaxed into it as well
probably probably
anyway
someone commented on the first
just us episode
and said, I really like the new format.
It makes a lot more sense to have GBA with just us.
Thank you.
What used to be, is it just me?
Great.
We did a good thing.
According to this one person, which is good.
We'll take that and run.
Someone said, so please, I listen during breakfast time,
especially the part of Betty, which I don't know what that was.
That was when she was humping you loads.
Yes, yes, yes.
Which she hasn't stopped doing, and you sent me a video over the other day,
and it was so mechanical.
I was expecting it to be more fervent, and it just wasn't.
And it was just sort of, she was really just doing the motions, you know what I mean?
Just getting a job done.
I'm just going to have a little hump.
As in not much passion.
Yeah, no, it was like, she was, 100% she was like 32 years married and it was your anniversary.
Do you know what I mean?
She's like, I'm doing this because I really feel I should.
It's what you've come to expect from me.
I'm mirrored her enthusiasm as well.
I really feel we should upload it onto the Instagram.
Just the sort of passion.
thrust. Someone else wrote.
Oh no.
As per the feedback on scripted content, can you at least try and make your ad sound sincere?
Nothing worse than Al just going through the motions.
I like when people say there's nothing worse than something not that bad, because I know.
I will say again, famine's pretty bad.
It's difficult with the ad stuff, guys, because that by virtue, that's the nature of the beast.
you go through the motions that's exactly how it works to break the fourth wall a little bit
we have to script them well yeah we have to script there are like key messages that we have to
hit there's like certain things that we have to say like we're obviously we're promoting a product
and we have to do these ads guys this podcast is really like it costs a lot it really does cost
this podcast has never made us any money and I do think we can be honest about that yeah like we
for a long time paid to do it.
It's just now
and our Instagram's covered
any anything that
compensated for anything
where we fell short
and yeah
we're getting to a point where
I think it's
since we built the studio
we are finally getting to a point
but I mean how long have we been doing this now
three years?
Coming on four years?
Longer, yeah longer
yeah four years
yeah like
I finally feel like people see it
as a job though which is nice
after years of being
like what's a silly little job we have
yeah well it is yeah
but it is a job yeah
we've really like invested in this
I know I've got our own studio
yeah I know
I've got our own set up like
but there's nothing work
our own team which is great
but yeah we need to do ads
like we have to
we have to be able to fund it somehow
so can I take this opportunity to say
if you do listen to it and you like it
lol
please leave good reviews because it really makes a difference
we'll never read them because I'm genuinely
I read our Apple reviews once and was like
well I have to just
what were they bad?
About me mostly
which is fine
but I probably only read
the bad ones about me
because you just do that
they were probably really all good
and I just read one bad one
and I was like
shut up M
I'm
I was like
but then why are you listening
to a podcast
with me
I know no I don't want to talk about them
because it just makes me sad
but like if you basically
I think
what we talked about us a few weeks ago
I think with stuff like this
sometimes people are more likely
to leave a bad review than a good review
we talked about in restaurants
people are more like
to leave a good review than a bad review but when it comes to media people are more likely
to leave a bad comment and it really makes a difference to us if you do like the show
to leave a good comment that sounds so be review but let's just be right behind the curtain now
and like rating yeah that if you like it not if you don't like it well if you don't like it
then please don't rate but if you do like it five stars would be so great we can't this is too
curated we can't ask that yeah we can we definitely can I hear podcasts asking it all the time
and we never, ever ask it.
We should have asked it during the Body Image series
if you enjoyed that because also it's award season
and we would, let's just say what we want.
It's manifested.
We would love to win an award for that series.
We would love to.
Even though many of you hated the scripted element,
we were really proud of it.
And actually it did do,
people resonated with it really well.
Oh my God, I've had so many ideas for series since.
And it's like we need to, like when we catch our tails,
I think both of us with your house move,
me having a second baby,
it's so intense right now.
but we've had some really good ideas for mini-series, haven't we?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm excited.
And I keep messaging you, like, random format ideas and then being like,
how are we going to make this happen?
But probably nothing as extensive as the body image series.
Not for now, no.
But we've got a couple of, like, two parties.
Yeah, two or three parties.
Yeah.
Which I'm really excited at the prospect of because we really enjoyed that format.
And I think a lot of you guys did too.
I think it might have just.
I think so.
Yeah, I think we did need to get used to it as well.
I screenshoted all of the good feedback.
I can put it all in a little folder.
It's so annoying that the human condition means you just look.
for the bad stuff.
I know, and there was so much good stuff.
I know, which actually, but to be honest, I didn't really care for any of it
because I just had a baby.
So I was just like, like on the lump it, folks, that's what we made.
Can I make one more request?
You're going to kill me.
Can I make one more request?
One we're going to kill you.
And this is what I hear people saying all the time at the top of their podcast episodes
is can you follow us as well on Apple.
Yeah, that makes a difference.
Yeah. It's like the plus side on the top right hand.
Yeah, following the show makes a difference.
But following the show is great.
means it drops into your feed every week.
It's great for our downloads.
Yeah.
Which is just, we're, but I mean, like, a second, a second of reflection, because we've come
such a long way.
I know.
We hit five million a few minutes ago and we're not that far away from six.
Are we not?
Are we not?
We're like less than 200,000 away from six million.
No, we're not.
No, we're not.
Yeah, we are.
Stop it.
We are having a party for 10 mil.
I'm putting that out there.
Oh, my God, we have to.
I mean, like, yeah, I'm saying that of such enthusiasm.
When we hit 10 million, you?
Fucking ages.
Bigger, my 40th.
Oh God, I'm reading the comments now and it says, Love You Girls and the Pod.
But, Em, did you just say Chasim pronounce Chasim and not chasm?
I probably did.
What's a chasm and a chasm?
Why am I so stupid?
You're not stupid.
I'm not smart.
So many people commented on the money.
Episode.
Yeah.
Chasm, chasm, what's a, why would I have said that?
What's the right one?
Casm.
Casm.
What's a chasm?
What's a cavern?
Why would I have said that?
Like gap?
Like gap?
You'd have said like the gap between the chasm.
God, I'm like...
Glaring chasm.
I feel like there's a part of my brain that works incredibly well,
but I can't access it other than at incredibly specific times.
Like, I am aware that I can articulate myself in my capacity as a journalist or whatever.
And sometimes I'm like, ooh, I'm in the flow, you know what I'm saying?
I'm getting some good words out.
But then when I think about what I've just said, I'm like, the fuck...
Like, it's like I blank on like anything that actually happened during that time
whilst I was in, maybe I'm a, maybe I'm the first, maybe I'm a robot.
Okay, I'm getting into these comments. I need to stop. We need to carry on, don't we? Oh my God,
yeah. I was carrying on. Sorry, sorry. I was just talking. Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I actually
forgot we were in the middle of an episode. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Now we're behind the
Sorry, what were you saying?
She's too important for me.
I'm so sorry, I got deep into the comments.
Your brain, yeah, I know your brain.
Yeah, agreed.
I feel very cared about and listened to, as you were.
People have a lot to say on the comments.
It's great.
Do you feel perceived?
No, it's exciting because I feel like people are talking about the episode.
And I feel like we don't get, because it's quite, it's...
On Spotify, you mean?
On Spotify, yeah.
It feels like immediate and more...
Because it's a bit more different, like, getting an email.
like people have, there's a lot of steps to go through to write an email and it's...
Well, I think also on Apple podcast, people are quite inclined to, like, they hear one episode
they don't like, they'll leave a review on the whole show, which is a bit of a shame.
It's like, because people will quite often do that.
If they don't like one episode, it's like, well, I'm going to give you one star because you said
something in this episode that I really don't like.
And it's like, that's a shame that one star is given to a back catalogue of 200 episodes
or whatever because of this one.
And I see this happening a lot, like, I love the news agents podcast.
Yeah.
And like, you listen to a current affairs podcast.
it happens all the time
where it's like Emily Maitlis
or whatever
will have a take on something
people give a one star
and they'll be like
I'm reacting to this one thing you said
but it does mean
when I'm reading the reviews
quite often you'll see a review
and it'll be like
someone will have taken
umbrage with one episode
and that's such a shame
isn't it which is why I like
Spotify's feature more
because it is a better
better portrayal of
better representation
of the full picture
because it does seem a shame
that one star can
and that's the fickle lecture
How much content have we put out in the past three and whatever years?
We put out a lot of one-style content.
I'm going to say it.
Most likely, but we've, we'll have done that hours and hours and hours of talking,
like some of it will be, yeah, some of it will be.
Yeah, some of it's one-star.
Some of us, two, three, four, five.
On this, I just want to say, I took Arlo to A&E a couple of weeks ago
because we had a really horrible day.
And the doctor that came to see her, I saw one doctor,
and then we had to see a more senior doctor,
and the second doctor that came in,
came in and she said
I was listening
to your podcast
on the way
in this morning
I was like
oh my God
please don't hate it
because if you hate it
then you're not going
to give a good cat
did she
that's so cool
totally made my day
she was the nicest
it was
there is a special place
in heaven
for a pediatric
doctors
like they are so
those the two women
who looked after
us that day
nice
nice
so good with kids
oh I could just cry
but if you're listening
thanks
honestly
because I'll cry because I was scary
you were so nice
oh hi hi
oh yeah I was so nice
not gonna say your name but hi
yeah no honestly like
it's so weird though isn't it
like such a silly job
it's such a silly job isn't it
the weirdest is when
people like out about are like
look and they show you their phone
someone showed me her Apple Watch once
and you were on it
because we were yeah we were on it
like playing on her podcast
and I was like that's so weird
better than you being her phone background
there will have been a time
Do you remember when like you used to buy celebrities to be a,
you probably weren't her phone background.
I was making a little joke.
Do you remember?
No, I just, I just.
Do you remember you used to buy backgrounds?
Like, but like I'm surprised I even came into your head.
Like, no, because you could buy like Chalisa as your phone background.
Could you?
Yeah.
Do you don't remember this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you totally could.
Yeah, yeah, you totally could.
Oh, I'm too old for this.
Are you too old for this?
I don't remember this.
I remember buying ringtones.
Yeah, yeah, same vibe.
You wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't have been too old to this.
You probably just weren't the target.
demographic for buying to Lisa to be your phone background.
Buying who?
Delisa.
Oh, Talisa.
Tulisa.
I would love to interview her.
If she happens to be listening and wants to come on the podcast.
She won't.
I would love to speak to Talisa.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that's funny.
I mean, I knew you put posters and celebrities on your wall, but I didn't know that you'd
put them as your wallpaper on your phone.
Yeah, we know you did.
Yeah, Will Young up there.
Oh, she gave me, nothing makes her weaker.
My first love.
My first love.
Nothing you love more than a gay pop star
I do
Just keep them tight
slightly out of reach
Yeah
God that was a good song
Of that era
Not well young
Gabrielle
I wonder what she's up to your day to day
I always wonder that
I'm like what you do day to date now
What does the typical day look like for you
Gabrielle
Slash Will Young
Gabrielle where is she now
Probably just chilling
There is no where are they now
article that I will not click on
It's not fascinates me
She performed at the O2
like two days ago.
Oh, that's where she is.
She's in Greenwich.
We should have gone.
Should have gone.
Oh, I was supposed to go to a gig the other day.
I know.
And I couldn't go.
I had tickets.
Who was it?
Ola Gartland.
I love so much.
She's like my favourite.
That's such a shame.
You know, it's the second time I've had gig tickets and not been able to go.
That's such a shame.
Both childcare related.
I know I was absolutely gassed and then couldn't make it because my baby doesn't, my baby's
just, I'm not at that time in my life.
It's okay.
We'll get to see her again.
Alex has bought tickets to see Jesse.
DJ acoustic soon.
Wow.
We don't get to go to that either.
That's really cool.
I was like, why do you do this?
She is an incredible singer.
Incredible singer.
I watch her stuff on TikTok a lot because I'm just like,
it just fascinates me.
Yeah, Alex is obsessed with her.
Her voice reaches.
I know.
Statospheric.
She's been high than Katie Perry.
That's really, that's, yeah,
throwback, I like that.
Thanks.
Okay, have you, you had something else you needed to tell us?
I never spoke to you about my
deep fake fiasco
you actually did
you dropped it in my WhatsApp
and then ghosted me
I didn't say anything to do
no she just sent me a TikTok link
to a video
to your deep fake
and then I replied
going OMFG
what is
followed by questions
nothing
you've become a real
just truth
like a
through a grenade and left
yeah yeah
that's happening
incredibly frequently
how awful was it though
yeah sorry we'll get back
to that now
what the fuck
this happened to
Rian
Rietrichishish
Lambert.
I'm not even going to try and pronounce her username.
Retrition?
Retrition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because she is a, well, she's a dietitian.
Yeah, so she is a, sort of credible medical.
Yes.
She at least has, like, like, credentials.
Credentials.
But you've been deep faked.
I've been deep faked as an expert.
How did it feel to look at it?
It was so weird watching it because it sounds like my voice, but not.
Like, it sounds a lot more well-spoken than me.
yeah and it's sort of your face
it's taken from one of our podcasts
yeah yeah it's just yeah
and it's my face and it looks like me
like I sent it to my mom and she was like
I don't understand why you're saying these things
like she didn't quite get it and she was like it's just
that's what's so scary
if your own mom thinks it's you
it's confused yeah it's so scary
I know so scary
and someone sent it to me is like
is this you
oh my God I feel like we're living in
like it's that not like
black mirror
really wrong isn't it
Yeah, yeah, it's really scary.
The technology is getting sleek and it's getting harder to spot.
So for people who haven't seen it, you basically,
there's a TikTok video of you as a clip taken from one of our podcasts
in which you are selling something.
It's someone has generated you to make an ad.
Tell that commenter, she's got problems with the ad you do for the pod.
Wait until she sees the ads you're doing for TikTok.
She was fuming.
Yeah, quite right.
Yeah, and they like, the worst was they opened it with the,
like hook initially like obviously designed to like stop people in their tracks and like hack
the algorithm and it was like women who don't have sex deserve to be cheated on like that's what
they open up with which I saw it and I nearly died I was like oh my god we do live we've talked
about this so many times but we live at a point where a woman there is genuine well we've
always lived at this point where there is nothing more valuable that a woman's reputation
and it's genuinely the most fallible thing
like it is the easiest thing to tarnish
and you know council culture
I do not believe it exists for men
that we haven't talked about Russell
fucking brand
no we haven't
but like he's been charged
yeah and he's come out and made a video
did you see have you seen the videos
he's been putting out
I genuinely felt sick
he was I honestly
sorry I'm so angry I'm going to put my coffee down
indeed
hold my beer I have not actually got to a pot
I would love a beer
I have not got to a point of rage like this where I've had to actually actively move myself away from content because I was so angry watching it.
Like, you can get away with rape.
It happens every single fucking day multiple times.
Like we know that the statistics are terrifying.
He's come out and basically done this video.
The fact that he's been charged, they have to have some incredibly substantial evidence to be able to bring forward multiple charges.
There is no doubt in my mind that they have.
very, very, very, very good evidence to show that he did this.
But he's done this video and he's like, basically, completely undermining the justice system to be like, do you, do you believe, we can try and play a clip if we're allowed to.
How do you feel about your legal system right now? How do you feel about some of the high profile cases that are not being pursued and prosecuted?
How do you feel that the Southport murders were handled? How do you feel about the government of Kirstama?
The Southport killers, the man who killed those children at the Taylor Swift dance class,
he's inciting that being like, how do you feel about what he was charged with?
Because he wasn't charged fairly.
Basically, he's saying they're coming after me when they should be going after baddies.
And it's, it works.
It's so manipulative.
Everything he's been doing, this turning to Christianity, this cult-like behavior.
There's a book called Cultish that I really recommend everyone read.
but the way he has been operating over the last year
has all been leading to this
since the first murmurings of trouble
he started this with a clear agenda
so that when the time came that charges were brought
he'd be able to turn it
and use the people that he's indoctrinated
against the justice system
and it's so fucked up
I can't even remember how we got here
I'm just so cross like it's so disgusting
I saw one video where he said
I am many things and I did a lot of things
in my past
like you all know
that I've opened up
about things I did in my past
but I was never a rapist
I only saw that
but yeah I'm not surprised
he's tried to
I listened to an interview with
I think it was a show
with Edithshire
I want to say it's Gordon Smart
but I may be wrong
about him
and just check who it was
it was a news agent's episode
maybe anyway
years ago when
all of these
allegations first started
coming out maybe last year
or the year before
and he cited
that in Russell Brand's book
he wrote a
about how he used to, his dog wasn't allowed upstairs.
Rossaman wrote this in his book.
His dog wasn't allowed upstairs.
So he would take his dog upstairs
and then throw it down the stairs
and shout at it for coming up the stairs.
Like, what kind of a sociopath?
Because he's a fucking lunatic.
Sorry, I don't know if I'm allowed to say that.
I don't know if that's a diagnostic.
Like, I don't know if I'm, I don't know if I'm being problematic
using the word lunatic.
But he's an awful.
It's a monster.
He's an absolute monster.
If you're writing that in your book,
what are you doing?
You know what I mean?
And like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Yeah, what are you doing that you don't feel comfortable writing about?
Yeah. Shit.
I mean, like, anecdotally, I know some shit.
But I mean, like, this guy just, I swear to God.
Awful, awful, man.
Awful man.
And, but that's what, like, when we talk about cancel culture, for men, doesn't exist.
Like, just doesn't.
I'm going to cite him every single time.
They're absolutely fine.
But women, you can trash a reputation like that.
And these videos will be used to ruin women.
And, like, someone, that might be someone, someone,
may not dig any deeper than to see that video of you and just think well fuck
Alex light and just to back up what you're saying about his reputation he's got 4.8 million
followers on on Instagram and he's look at the comments when if you look at the comments
underneath all these articles he's innocent he this is a witch hunt like don't believe these women
these women are fame hunting I could go for days on this shit oh my god it's so depressing it
It's genuinely, it makes me feel sick to my stomach what he has done and what he represents
and how he's manipulated his audience.
And he's a women, he's a women who are falling at his feet.
It's so gross.
We don't worship justice.
We worship consumption.
Threaten that and people lose their minds.
We're not hungry for truth.
We're hungry for stuff.
And deep down we know it's because we're empty.
Mm-hmm.
He is.
Fowl.
Shit.
But people are, oh my God, they just.
Love him.
They blindly, blindly follow him.
So, I've just noticed that, like, someone I know has liked his latest post.
No, no.
Not no, no, no, but no.
This is interesting.
We've talked about this before.
It's like, we've talked about this before.
Do we want the echo chamber?
Do we want the, like, you know.
But also, did she do it as an accident like I did with that other post?
Probably not.
That's why I don't know.
But, like, that's not cool.
No, that's not cool.
My friend in Ireland is so good at calling out injustice.
I'm obsessed with her.
And, like, she's tagging people.
She'll literally be like, you guys are all still following Connor McGregor.
Oh, really?
And you all are following, please.
I'm like, good for you.
Well, yeah, I've got 96 mutuals with him.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Meaning that people that I follow him.
Oh, my God, there's someone who I follow here who's like in all, like, and all this shit.
Oh, no, she only liked the one.
Maybe she did it by accident.
Someone else?
Cricky.
Oh my God, God, it's, this, this, the internet is what I, we are living in black mirror.
Honestly, I think we need to just go outside and touch flowers regularly, like regularly.
We need to do a Katie Perry and kiss the earth.
Yeah, stay grounded.
Stay grounded.
Legit though, like, it's making us crackers.
He's also, he's also done a post about Katie Perry famously, his ex-wife.
Katie Perry has gone to space and I'm elated.
She's accomplished such a, not ex-wife, right, or ex-girlfriend.
I'm excited. She's accomplished such a feat and made it back safely. She actually bought me a ticket to space once. I should have seen the writing on the wall then. I don't really get it. No, I didn't get it either. I wish you'd gone and got stuck. Just floated around for ages. So he's like, he's after attention as well. This is the thing. He's like he didn't need to make a post about his ex-wife going to space. He's been to space. He's been to space and he's put it on his stories. It's like, my ex-wife's been to space and I haven't done anything. Yeah. What have you done? Today, Russell. Yeah, I'm in space.
you. God knows what you've done actually.
Sorry,
I think I think I can say that, sorry.
Okay, well.
Well, that we've got around the houses.
I do apologize for forgetting
in the middle of the episode that we were in the middle of an episode
and completely ignoring you.
I'm fine about it.
My attention is very limited.
I'm so sorry.
I hate myself.
I hate you.
It's fine.
it's fair. We'll see you guys next week. See on Monday. See on Monday. Bye.
Oh, and leave a little review. Good one. Yeah, yeah. Just thank you. All good. We're bringing
up free to snap. Cheers guys. Love you bye. Bye. Should I delete that as part of the ACAST
Creator Network?
