Hello and welcome to Should Delete That.
I'm Alex Light.
That was drawn out, sorry.
Are you sure?
I'm Em Clarkson.
Your hair is a really nice colour at the moment.
Oh my God, thank you so much.
I feel like this is what you've been searching for colour-wise.
I've been waiting my whole life.
I had to get a photo, like find a photo.
of us the other day. So I was going back through all photos of us. And your hair was so dark at one
point. At which point? Because we've had some points. Yeah, we've been up and down. I've had a
journey. I have no identity. I'm going to have such, like, I get randomly incredibly sentimental about
things that I needn't. And I keep thinking about like how when Zanthi was born, I don't look like
me. And I'm going to have to say that to her. Be like, yeah, I went through this really weird,
like three months where I scrapped my entire identity and became someone new.
It was so dark
What the fuck though
Like free will is the most bizarre thing
In the entire world
And I don't think I should be given
As much rain as I ate
As much free reign as I am
Like it is absurd to me
That I could just have smarties for breakfast
And I don't
Like I don't understand what stops me
From having more fun
If you're talking about like the absurdity
Of free will
I think it's like
More absurd that we're allowed to have children
Like we just have children
And feed them like anything
like if you don't cut your kids dough nails
no one's going to make
I mean at some point someone probably will
I have this exact same thought
it's the weirdest thing
it's like oh shit I'm going to have to do that
but I think about this more than anything else
to do with looking after Tommy
I think about his nails because I'm like
I hate cutting his nails because I think I'm just going to cut him
and I'm like I have to do that though
I mean Dave does it as well obviously
but like if we don't do it Alex
point blank refuses to cut nails
he cut one he drew blood one time
and he's like totally traumatised
So it's like mommy's job now
And I'm like great because she absolutely hates it
So I look forward to that
I hate it
Yeah fair enough
It's ridiculous
It's like I'm kind of come at you with scissors
Stay still
But like it's just so weird
That like we can just do anything
Like we can just decide
What we want to eat for lunch today
I know
Like that's our choice
Yeah yeah yeah
But like and then dinner
And then like what time do you want to go to bed
And I think it's really weird
That we don't go more rogue ever
Like we just live
within these very strict parameters and for why, you know?
I remember clearly when it dawned on me that I had free will.
And that was when there was a tuck shop at school and I had pocket money and I could buy
food from the tuck shop and eat it.
Well, I can't remember that.
I don't know.
I just remember this is like epiphany of like, oh my God, I want something.
I can go buy it and eat it.
I keep the biggest barriers up for myself though.
Like the other day I was out with both the girls and they both fell asleep and I was like,
now is my chance for a cookie.
like unscathed.
I actually saw a meme that was like
having a toddler is basically just following
each other around the house asking what's
in each other's mouths. I was like, oh my God, that's so
true. It's so true.
I was like, she's asleep
so now's my chance and I went past the cookie
stand and then there's something in the end.
It's like it's a really bad thing and I know this is toxic
and really, really, really bad and I'm sorry, but like
there's still a part of me that was like conditioned to really
not want to ever be perceived to be greedy.
So like I was standing outside this like delicious
cookie stand. And the person who ran the
cookie standards wasn't there. And I was like, it's only so long I can stand here before it just
looks greedy. Like, you just look desperate. Like, I don't want to look desperate. Do you know what I mean?
It's like, I always want the attitude of like, I could take or leave a cookie. I didn't want
the like, I must have a cookie attitude because I just feel like it's not becoming.
It's not very womanly. No, so I just have to let it go. Like, oh, you didn't get one.
I didn't know why I assume it was a she, like, you know, the provider role, clearly. In my mind,
it's like some nice woman's going to come with her home bake cookies.
make my day but she just didn't come back because I could have stolen one chose not to
fuming well now I know that's really but that is that is and the rest of the way home I was like
another one will come and obviously didn't and I just I know and I was like cookies are so hit and miss as well
I know because we've got that one there I didn't like I'm gonna be honest I don't really like
I've eaten all of it it was really dark chocolate like that's like 90% cocoa I don't I'm not
sophisticated enough in my palate.
I want like, I want like the milkiest, milky.
I want, it's so milky, but there's no cocoa in my chocolate.
But it just full, I want, I don't think there is cocoa in white chocolate.
I want it to be gooey and it just, I just, I don't get cookies enough.
Do you like, you know the like New York Star cookies that the LaVan bakery that they're
really big, they're like they're layered almost with their chocolate chips.
Look, I've got a whole world.
They're in London.
They're in London.
The creme cookies in London.
I don't know what that is either.
this is what I mean I've got some catching up to do you know what is really nice
M&S sell cookie dough uh-huh and you just put it in the pop it in the air fryer cut a bit off
and pop it in the air fryer so you just make a cookie then well no because I haven't had to make
the dough and then it just like melts into a little puddle of cookiness yeah just becomes a
cookie it becomes a cookie okay yes it becomes a cookie you know it was like really good
like if you want a cookie you can just like um you just bait one that's like the best
They're really good.
M&S do.
Excellent cookies.
M&S do.
And I thought that yesterday because I took myself for a walk to M&S.
And I'll tell you what I did.
My morale's been quite low because I'm really fucking tired.
And my kids aren't sleeping and I know no one wants to hear that.
But like, oh my God, I'm struggling.
So annoying.
So I bought a big bag of chocolate buttons and I put them in my bum bag.
And for the rest of this period of my life,
I will always have chocolate buttons in my bum bag because it just made everything better.
Like every time you're a bit sad, it's like,
it doesn't matter.
I got a chocolate button in my bum bag.
You know what I mean?
Like, oh, I'm really tired.
How long's a pack lasting you?
Well, it's still in there now.
I bought it yesterday.
How big a bag?
Share bag.
Oh, share bag.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then I've also got a thing of dairy milk in my shule pocket.
Like, basically, what, the way I'm coping at the moment is chocolate related.
So I've started just buying lots of chocolate and then putting it in bags.
Like, keep one in the pram bag.
You are a kid's dream.
Keep, for me.
Just dripping with chocolate.
Sometimes I just sneak them to arlo.
like I make it like I'm like don't tell
Zanthi even though like what's Sampi going to do
she's got no business for chocolate
but it's a fun little thing
but I don't want her to get too used to it
because then it's like she'll start checking my stash
like I used to steal my parents cigarettes
she'll be coming at me for my
my dairy milk
yeah I mean that's probably
that's probably okay
did you have to smoke
yeah
did you how did that happen
how did it happen were you were you
were you stealing them from your parents
well
no your parents did you always
don't love to talk about this period of my life
but when I lived in Paris, I, um, you've forgiven one at the border.
They're like, here, you're a Parisian now.
Like this, don't put it out for three years.
My mate and I, we live together and we, I think we, our landlord, we saw her smoking a vogue, menthol, you know, vogue.
Sheik, yeah.
They're like dead long and thing.
Didn't care for a, yeah, just like me.
I did not care for a menthol.
And so we were like, how chic does she look?
I take this all back now
I don't believe this now
I don't think smoking chic
but at the time
I believe it with my whole soul
still to this day
cancel me for it
are you kidding
oh my god
are you kidding
are you kidding
oh no
oh my god
yeah whenever I see someone smoke
I'm like you're so much cool
than I'll ever be
like congratulations to you
for being so cool
oh no
that you don't care
that you don't care
the banning of it
and the like
the demonisation of smoking
has like done a number on me
it's worked on me i am consistently annoyed with myself that i've chosen something as pathetic as my health
over looking cool i feel like i've let myself down hugely but apparently it's like the return
of the cigarette in marketing in advertising which makes sense because if we have to be so skinny
how you know how else are we going to stay so skinny we need to smoke yeah to curb our appetites um
but more or less expensive than ozempic uh you well yeah i was around for the
when we could smoke in clubs.
I love that for you.
Were you?
I was alive, but I wasn't clubbing.
It was so, it's so weird to think back now.
I think we talked about this recently
because it's about in 2004, wasn't it?
So I was 10.
Yeah.
Seven?
I swear it was seven.
I literally think we've done this before.
Have we?
Yeah, quite recently.
But I think I remember it in 2007.
Okay.
I'll be in so much trouble for saying all of that
because it's like wanting a sun tan.
Like, every time I get a sun tan,
like, do you know how much shit I got on Instagram for my tan lines?
For promoting skin cancer?
It's like, guys, look, I promote a lot of, a lot of stuff.
I concede, you know, I, I do not, I am paid to promote stuff.
But to say I promote skin cancer, I am not.
Is a stretch.
Like, you've seen me promote things.
Hey, guys, do you like my rucksack?
Here's a discount code.
It's a little bit different to, hey, do you like the potential of skin cancer?
If so, do as I do.
Yeah, that's a stretch.
If you gave me, like, a packet of cigarettes now, I could smoke this afternoon.
I mean, if I wasn't breastfeeding, didn't have two kids,
I wasn't absolutely fucking knackard.
I could go and sit in a pub, smoke a whole packet of cigarettes,
live my best life, go home and not touch one again for three years.
You were never addicted to them.
I was definitely addicted to it.
Yeah.
Needed to smoke and I did smoke for like 10 years.
And then when I gave up, I was like, I've just given up now.
And it was like, I had a couple of days.
I was like, oh, this is quite hard.
Yeah.
And then done.
Yeah.
And then since then, before kids, between giving up and having kids,
I'd be able to like go out with the girls, have a little, woo.
Like, have a little, you know, like, have it on my wedding day.
Yeah.
Just fun, fun.
As we did in clap.
him that night.
No, we did, yes.
We don't remember the night.
And your hand do, actually.
Yes.
You had loads on your hand do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've got a photo of me having a pee in the garden with a cigarette.
Those are the day, like that's, like that, I know it's bad.
And like, I mean, I barely drink anymore.
Like I don't, like, so I don't do any of this, but I do romanticise it all in my head.
The good old days.
The good old days, yeah.
And I tell you, the way to give up smoking, if anyone's listening, thinking, God, I want to give up.
I knew I had to give up the next day.
So I smoked a whole packet.
I was with my brother's mate.
I got so drunk, I smoked a whole packet, even though I was like, I fucking hate this.
But I knew I had to hate it.
It's like, I've got to make this disgusting to me.
So the last thing I want to do in the morning is have a cigarette.
And then I knew, because the way my head works, is like, if I can get through one day,
and I've actually taken this attitude the whole way through my life with everything.
But it's like, if I can get through one day, then I can get through another day.
Like, you only need to get through one day.
That's a very, well, yeah, that's.
And then you know you can do it again.
Like, if I've done it once, I can do it again.
Yeah, I believe that's the whole, that's the philosophy of the 12th.
step system, isn't it?
It's like, yeah, yeah, one day a time.
One day at time.
Yeah, so I was like, all this.
And if you can do one day.
Yeah, then you can do two days.
Yeah.
So you can just do it again.
So I just know I just need to do, that was my, in my head.
I was like, I just need to do one day.
So I'll just make it so revolting to me today that it won't be, that I won't even want
it.
That's really interesting.
I'm thinking, no, no.
Oh, no.
Sorry, I was going to make it.
I've said all this, I've said all this problematic shit and you're going to, you're going
to bow out of saying something.
Come on, join me.
No, just because I just, I feel like it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, I'm, no, digress with me. Get me away from me. I'm getting myself in, like, gave up, but like, bulimia. Yeah. Sorry, it's a bit dark. No, no, no, it's good. Please get me away from me. I'm getting myself in trouble. I didn't have, like, I gave it up initially. And I remember being like, one day, oh my God, two days, three days. Oh my God. Like, all these days that I've gone without it. And then when I did it again after like two weeks, then I went back to square. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't. I don't. I. I. I. I. I
I just, I have a different attitude.
Did you find that difficult?
Like, yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't think like, that's it, this is it forever.
Did it mean that you couldn't do it again in your head?
Like, well, I can't get to two weeks.
Yeah.
Or it wasn't like, oh, I need to get to 15 days next time.
No, I wasn't like that.
I was more like, I'm just, because I fell straight back into it and I was like,
I'm never going to get rid of this.
I can't be like, this is it.
This is the last one and I will never do it again.
I'm too, I think I'm too upset.
I'm too, I get too obsessive with stuff.
I can't live like that.
I'm just like, it will happen again.
And I think that's, that's when I eventually did stop.
That's what the therapist, like, we worked out together that I said, like, it will happen
again. I will lapse. I will relapse.
Like, over and over again, there will be times in my life where I find it harder and I
will relapse again. And like, that's, but like, that's okay.
And actually, that was when I stopped doing it. And I haven't done it since then.
Wow. When was that?
Long time ago now, actually.
It's amazing.
Yeah, probably 10 years. It must be 10 years ago now.
it's fascinating how the brain works yeah fascinating yeah I find it's so so interesting but I think
you're right with that I mean like I mean smoking is a completely different thing and like I was like
23 and it was yeah lower stakes and whatever um yeah I did have another but but I wasn't saying like
I'll never do it again I just knew I wanted to kick an addiction so it's like yeah they say what's
21 days to make a habit or 21 days to break it I think it's I don't know how many days they say it is
to break an addiction three times the 21
I think.
I think 21 days, yeah.
That's about right.
It's three times that or something.
Okay.
Well, either way I was like, well.
It's easier to make, obviously, a habit, but.
Yeah.
Well, I just thought I just said, but I know what you mean.
But they say that in recovery.
Like, you never want to say never.
Because you just set yourself up for.
No.
And I think a lot of people say, oh my God, that's so discouraging.
That's so negative.
And it's so pessimistic, which I understand.
But I do think it just, for me, at least, that works so much better.
because there's no pressure then.
There's no pressure.
It's like, okay, well, I will do it again one day.
Then that's fine.
And then I'll do it again.
And then I'll pick myself right back up.
And then I'll heal and we'll work it out again.
Good for you.
Yeah, thanks.
I have an awkward before I get into talking about the news with you.
Okay.
I got a DM the other day.
And I hate and love when this happens in equal measure.
from someone who clearly wasn't trying to message me
but was trying to message her friend about me.
I hate this.
And it was in reply to one of my running stories
and she messaged me
thinking I was her friend saying,
oh no, she's nearly as fast as me
and she's just had a baby.
Looks like I have some work to do.
Oh, at least it was a nice one.
I was worried it was going to be a bad one.
Sort of.
I was like, oh my God, it's given me
Even she's nearly as fast as me.
That's how I read it.
Yeah, like, oh, like she's, and I also, I was heavy on the almost.
She's almost as fast as me.
Our innate competitiveness is funny, isn't it?
Isn't it?
Because it's like, that should not matter one iota.
I know you're completely different people.
Yeah.
Yeah, that is weird.
And I just had a baby.
I, that happened.
I thought that happened to me recently.
I thought that someone was responding to me accidentally
when they were talking about me to someone else.
I put up a photo of me and you
when it was your birthday, at your birthday party,
put a photo of me and you
and I said like spending the weekend to celebrate her B-day
and the christening of, unlike Xanthi's christening,
and she replied and said,
oh my God, she's pregnant again.
And I thought it was because I looked like
I had a bump in the dress.
So I was like, oh, you didn't mean to send this to me, did you?
And she was like, oh no, sorry I did.
I was just confused, but celebrating her baby.
Basically, she thought when I said M's B day, I said M's baby.
Fine.
And she was like, oh my God, M's pregnant again.
No, no, no.
And I was like, oh, okay, I was like, sorry, I jumped down your story a little bit there.
A bit defensive.
I'm not pregnant.
No, I am also not pregnant again.
Jesus, you'd know.
Oh, no, I can't.
Yeah, that would be very quick.
no I got myself really emotional
did I tell you this either night
I got myself in such a state
why? Because I just
it was horrendous
I mean this is really fucking hell
we just keep accidentally deeping each other's
like light chat
because I was thinking about it
and like I was kind of like
talking to Alex about like sex or something
I don't know and then it was like fuck
what if I got pregnant
and then I was like ha ha ha
like you know like and then it was like no
if I got pregnant
I wouldn't be able to continue this pregnancy
like I literally would
and then I sort of crying
and I was like I would about
abandoned zanthi i wouldn't be able to keep breastfeeding i'd be in hospital how could i do that to my
babies i can't like i need to and then i got in a really big spin and then i cried for about an hour
and a half about the abortion that i haven't had and won't need it was very bad oh i'm sorry
it was very bad i was like am i right i know and then it maybe and then i got really upset
because oh my god i haven't told you sorry so much to say then i got really upset because i thought
fuck i do want to have another baby one day but how the fuck am i going to do this when i know that
I've got this hanging over my head and like all of that.
So it's been in a spin.
But I didn't tell you on the podcast yet that I got an email from an MP.
No, no, no.
I digress, not an email.
I got a handwritten letter, but I got a posted letter, old school.
How lovely.
From an MP asking me to come to government to talk about HG.
And it was raised by this MP in the House of Commons.
And he spoke to Kirst Dahmer.
and they are asking for Zonvier,
which is the newly accredited or newly verified,
whatever it's,
I don't know what it's called.
Zonviya is a medication which is proven to help HG.
It's nice of basically recognized it as the treatment for HG,
but it's a postcode lottery right now as to who gets it.
Did you have it?
I did not have it.
So now I've got this incredible surge of hope that's like,
imagine if we can,
between now and then,
if like the government,
if I can help or even if they do it without me,
what I don't care.
Like as long as it becomes the rules,
that that's what your treatment is
that would change everything
for me maybe and maybe it wouldn't
but like that hope feels
yeah the soon as I got that
because it came via email first
I listened to it what so it's
looking positive that it
reduces HG
it seems to be the most effective treatment for it
and I have to say I asked my consultant for it
this pregnancy because everybody told me to
and he just said no and what do you
because it wasn't I don't know why
he just said on DancerTron is the best
and that's what you're on and this is what you need to stay on
And, like, you know, you're weak, you're tired, you're not the doctor.
You just do what you're told, really.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, why wouldn't you?
And when I was, and at that point, Zonvia hadn't been, this has all happened really,
really recently.
So it hadn't been, I know, so it's all changed really fast.
So now I'm like, I'm a bit giddy on it.
Because like that, that hope alone is enough to really change how I feel.
So that's cool.
That's amazing.
And I mean, the great thing is, is that you're so young as well, that you could wait.
Yeah.
You could wait 10 years.
I'm not going to wait 10 years.
Okay.
I'm so tired.
Imagine. Imagine this all again, but like I'm 41.
Oh yeah. Sorry. I forgot. Okay. In my head you were 28 because that's when you gave birth, right?
Ignore me. You could wait five years easily. Six, seven.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, we're chilling. We're chilling. Yeah, we've got time for laws to change and
trials to come through and all that shit. So that's really exciting news.
I know, really cool. Alex has framed it. He was so cute.
Oh. As soon as it came through, he like, he's, we bought a frame for it and put it up in the
living Roman, like from there. Which I make me cry, but.
I don't know, it just feels really significant, like, I don't know, and I want that, like, I don't know, it's just cool.
It's cool. It's just cool to be recognised anyway, like, for, like, services to HG awareness.
I have my own awkward.
Oh, good.
I went for malt mopping.
I, yeah, you did.
You went last time I saw you.
I do.
I'm so jealous.
It was really good.
I went a few years ago to the same place.
It's called One Wellbeck.
And so they had all my malt.
They call them lesions, which I don't really like.
but whatever technical term
I had all my
198 lesions
they were all documented already
so then when I went back
they could compare them to like the few years ago
when I had them
you're looking at my arms
yeah because I've got over 200 moles on one arm
they're not moldy are you kidding me
I have thousands I've counted them
I've 100 on my forearm and hand alone
which I feel like
I could have been doing so many other things
other than counting all the malls on my arm.
But like I've over a hundred from the elbow down to the fingers.
Was that pre-babies?
It was pre-babies.
Yeah, I've probably got way more now.
God, that's so, I'm desperate to get more.
I think I told you.
My mum said my brother, mom, like, my mother's got three children
and she said her favorite to go and get more mouth.
And my sister are like, okay, guess we'll just, well, it's me promoting the skin cancer again, isn't it?
Yeah, you're not the thing.
You're too far gone.
I ought to go.
It is a cool.
It's cool, obviously.
And, you know, deception is key.
No, no, no, no.
What's the word?
Knowledge is power.
Knowledge is power.
Where the fuck were you going to say?
Deception is key to what?
That's successful.
I said your confidence is our deception is key.
Anyway, to, in order to get this imaging of you,
you have to stand in a thong, you know, in a little paper thong.
paper thong. Yep. You have to stand in a thong and they take images 360 degree
images. This imaging technology doesn't you. Does that mean it goes down? Like does the
camera go along the floor? Is it going up? No, I think there are camera. No, there are cameras
everywhere. They're already there. They're going up. They're going around. They're going
down. They're everywhere. Okay. Yeah. You don't even notice. It's like three flashes and you're
done. Yeah. And then they blow it up on the big screen and you get a 360 degree version of yourself.
Oh, I'm desperate.
Just sort of spinning around.
Covered in lesions.
Covered in lesions.
And how are your lesions?
Covered in a thong.
And I didn't put my thong on right.
I put the front at the back.
No, yeah.
I put it on.
Flaps out.
Back to front.
So it was literally flaps out.
Cheeks can see it.
And do you have any moles on your flaps out?
And it was all wonky at the back.
And I was like, it's all I can see.
It's all I can see.
And it's all that she can see as well.
Neither of us are noticing it.
She's there for 190 lesions.
Do you don't care about your wonky flaps?
I don't know.
It was quite a sight.
I quite like seeing, I mean, I know what they say, like, you know, how you look from the back is none of your business.
But I'm quite enthralled whenever I see the back of myself, I'm like, oh my God, there's a whole other side of this.
Like I, you know what I mean?
It's weird, isn't it?
Yeah, it's really weird.
It's like thinking about the back of your own car.
Like, it's just, I don't know.
It's just unusual.
But, well, so she, she was looking at my lesions and she was like, it's weird, this one that's just on your left boob.
it's like it's really strange because it's it wasn't there before and it looks really funny
like I'm a bit worried about it let's have a look so she I took my bra back off and she had a look
and she was just like oh no it's just a piece of food what was it it was one of Tommy's snacks
a likely to like a little little rice cracker you borrowed one of my chocolate biscuits of my chocolate
buttons from my bum bag yeah it was and I was like oh my god and I just like scratched it
scratched it and it just scratched off and I was like oh I'm sorry she was like no no that's okay that's good that's good I mean that is good better than a dodgy mole
awkward opposite someone did this to my sister once and they licked their thumb and they rubbed her top lip to get her mole off
I think I've spotted an email yes oh god it was it the person that did that to Katia okay the email is
titled I died hi guys I'm writing this as a curl in the ball on the floor
Oh, good.
OG listener here, your podcast makes my day every single time.
Oh, thanks, anybody.
I was at my friend's birthday party, chatting to her lovely mom,
complimenting her on her amazing catering for the event
when I noticed she had something on her face.
I mentioned this to her and instinctively went to wipe it off her cheek.
It was a birthmark.
The end, goodbye.
Oh, my God.
Like, I know it's fine, but also, I hate that for you.
I hate that for you.
Did I tell you that my mole fell off my face once?
I was so upset.
I don't like that.
No, it really, it did me a number because I've had this thing,
I've had this bad boy forever.
And I basically got a spot near it, went like that.
Yeah.
Obviously the scamp came off my spot, pretty feral, sorry, foul.
But then I was like, fuck the mall's gone.
And then I went in this big spin,
because obviously, as I say,
you get randomly sentimental about things.
And I looked at all my baby photos up until like 25 or whatever it was when it happened.
And I was like, that's my entire identity.
And it's gone.
Erased.
Just disappeared.
Like, who am I without this?
Well, I mean, you say that, but it's like, it feels pretty integral to how this, you know, to how things go around here.
And it was gone.
And then it grew back, thank God.
You know you could have sold it.
I lost it.
Oh, my mum gets really upset about it because I lost it in her house.
And she was like, that is fucking disgusting.
Oh, it's so disgusting.
It's actually going all the way through me.
I'm really sorry.
I'm not proud of that, but I've shared it now.
I, there's something wrong with you today.
I feel like I have got the part of me that cares what people think unplugged.
like the part of me that's like been burned by the internet one too many times that just tiptoes around saying things she half means
I feel like that's just unplug something so horrible about a mole being separated from the body
untethered yeah untethered like it's just as a separate entity I know because they've got roots
horrible about that I've got like the shivering in a bad way well I'm very jealous that you've been mole maps I'm absolutely desperate to go I've some dodgy I've some dodgy ones
I look like I've been shot through the chest with an arrow because I've got one there oh yeah
You want right there.
And I've got exactly the same one on the back, in exactly the same position.
Oh.
Isn't that kind of cool?
I've told you that the twins have the Eiffel Tower.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, now a triangle.
Yeah, you've done that one already.
Ever since she said that, I'm like, I change it now to a triangle because I'm like, it doesn't need to be the Eiffel Tower.
I don't know why I needed it to be the Eiffel Tower.
I love that it was.
It's exactly perfect.
that it was. Did you know that you'd lived in Paris? Did we know that you lived in Paris?
I just need to do something while we're on the phone. Hang on. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. See, I've got
twenty one moulds just on my left hand. It's going to take them ages to do this. Oh no, not this
imaging. But what if they're all wrong? Like, what if they're all bad? Do they just take them all the way?
Well, I think you speak to a dermatologist who then advises you. But once you get it done, like then
And she checks out, or he, whoever it is, checks out, like, the bad moles.
They've got, like, a special little, like, magnifying glass so they can see the
moles.
I don't know what they're looking for, but I trust them.
Bad bits.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I guess they would remove them, yeah.
Yeah.
Alex had one removed and they asked if he wanted to keep it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
It's so disgusting.
That must not that bad a story.
What I didn't tell you was that he did keep it.
It looked like a cocoa puff.
No, that's horrible.
I don't know.
Speaking of fun medical memorabilia that I've kept,
when I have all the screws removed from my face,
I've got them all in a bag at home.
That's quite cool.
I know, it is kind of cool.
Yeah.
What will I do with these?
But also, someone gave me a pot.
Someone, Alex's mom gave me a pot for Zanthi's teeth the other day for when they fall out.
Yeah.
Right, no, hang on, sorry.
You're grossed out by someone keeping a mole,
but you think it's perfectly reasonable that I'm going to collect a jar of teeth.
Yeah.
that's a very normal thing to do with your baby
there's nothing normal about keeping teeth
what the fuck am I going to do with a load of teeth
my dad had a whole drawer of teeth in his study
because this is fine
and was he arrested again
it's a drawer of teeth
it was the top drawer as well
higher draw of teeth
well you're quick access
all of our teeth
quick go to the teeth drawer
and I've got a tape measure no but I've got a canine
what you do with all those teeth
What you need them for?
Put them in the bin?
I don't know.
It's just, it's always been normal.
Make a hefty set of dentures.
I've never thought about it.
For another child.
It's also loads of our hair as well.
Fuck.
Right, sorry.
You have been incredibly...
In envelopes.
Yeah.
That's even weird.
Is it?
What are you parceling up your hair for?
The teeth are just out and loose, but the hair is in envelopes.
For why?
Because then it's written on it like Alex 2, Jen, 3,
and whatever.
Uh-huh.
I don't know.
Yeah?
I don't know.
Quick DNA records
if you ever commit a crime.
That's what I'm going to do with Tommy
when I have to eventually have to cut its hair.
Keep it?
I'll keep a lock, yeah.
Just a lock.
Why?
Actually, you know what?
I don't want to judge you in the way that you've tried
like you're judging me.
Goose bumps.
You had goosebumps about my mole falling off
and now you tell me that your family
store teeth and hair in envelopes and drawers.
I wonder if I can get a picture of the teeth draw
because it was quite something.
And it was actually, I did know it was weird
because we'd show our friends when they came over
and they were like just horrified.
But it was always just normal to us
because we just got a tooth draw.
No, I'm not being funny,
but a drawer of, like, if I were to like make a list
of like sinister things that I could fill in a house,
a drawer full of teeth would probably be
the top of the list.
only thing that would make it more sinister would be if they were children's teeth, which
they are. I agree that a draw full of teeth without context is alarming. But they were all
our teeth. There are lots of us, lots of teeth. So they're not labelled. No, no, no, no, no. So now
you've got probably in the region of 100 teeth. Yeah, how many teeth do we lose? Loads,
like 20. Do we lose? And each. Do we lose all of our teeth? I tell you who we should ask.
Who? Your dad.
He's got a draw one
I wonder if he's in his desk right now
Dave have you got a minute
I wonder if I can get a picture for the Instagram
Can you get counting?
See if anyone else has that
I don't know
I think five children's just a lot of children
So I imagine the teeth that you've collected
Like the pot that I've got for example
Forzanthes
Would not be big enough
That's not weird to me
Have a pot to cut their teeth
I think the fact that I've kept
Like I've been offered a mole
Is like
I don't understand
How these things differ
Okay, Faye and Dex, right?
What's worse? A mole or a tooth?
A mole, because it's rotting flesh.
Yes, there you go.
As opposed to teeth?
Yeah, I think mull.
What about hair?
Envelopes.
Hair is baldline.
Bauderline.
She didn't enjoy that.
A mole could go mold it.
No, I understand.
Actually, and I haven't even kept it.
So I don't even think they're on a level.
because they're not.
I merely question the judgment
from a woman with a drawer full of tea.
Fair, fair?
Imagine that you had a drawful of moles.
A drawful of moles would be an absolutely feral situation.
I would call the police immediately, even on myself,
if I ended up with those.
Can I ask the question?
Yes.
Did you have the tooth fairy?
We did, we did.
But I didn't believe the tooth fairy.
I didn't believe in it.
You were so smart.
No, I was so smart, like so smart.
They had to move me up like multiple years.
I didn't believe in the tooth fairy because I saw that my dad had this one draw.
And I thought something suspicious here.
Wow.
I need to see the envelopes full of hair more pressing me than I need to see the drawer full of teeth.
I can get both to you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Let me do some digging.
I told you, sorry, I'm going to let everybody go, but I did tell you that I had a friend whose ex-boyfriend posted her an envelope full of teeth.
her own hair once. Oh, that is so fucking weird. Now that is really, really nasty.
I showed her that every single day as a reminder to break up with him. I'm horrified.
She was staying in his army barracks. She was staying in his, he was in the army. She was staying
in barracks with him. And she obviously emptied out her hair brush and put it in the
bin because that's like a normal thing to do. And he wrote her letter saying, I think you left
this behind and posted her own hair back. That's so sinister. It's not the most sinister thing you've
ever heard. I, as well as pinned it, we were living together at the time. I as well as pinned it to
her door and said I'm not taking this down until you break up with him because that was so fucking weird
I don't understand like where's that going to lead because that is like strange behavior to start
off with you know I do hear you but you also have five children's hair in envelopes in your own house
so I think we should take the judgment out of your voice well this has been fun so fun guys we're
going to see you on Monday I'll be plugged back in by then this is hopefully yeah this is
I felt weird as fuck.
I'm really sorry.
I don't still smoke and I will go get more of that
but I promise I wear sun cream
and I'm not promoting sick and cancer
but I can't apologise for Alex's family's jaw full of teeth, okay?
We don't believe you.
See you next Monday.
Bye, guys.
Should I delete that as part of the ACAS creator network?
