Starting point is 00:00:33 It's a It's a What's happening to me I can't think of the word Use your words I don't have any I've forgotten It's a
Starting point is 00:00:45 It's a uh Of what's the word It's just gone missing Try we can help if you try No it's just like a sideline Like it's not Like it's not directly about The Real Housewives of London
Starting point is 00:00:54 It's just a it's a It's a sit It's tangent It's a tangent It's a tangent before I give you my tangent my real estate tangent what is happening to me
Starting point is 00:01:06 we are not I think I'm a bit giddy I think I'm a bit giddy because we're not going to talk about politics or anything scary this episode we're just going to have a hoot and I am so happy at the prospect because the last few weeks have absolutely fuck me in a bad way
Starting point is 00:01:22 tangent yeah okay tangent right so I had to see I haven't ever told you this I had an estate agent once and I'm not going to tell you his name by I'm going to tell you that his name was the name of a really big bird. And you've never heard this name for a human being before, but he had it, right? Anyway. Sesame.
Starting point is 00:01:41 No, not that kind of bird, like an actual bird. Oh. I know. So just fill in the blank. Ostrich. This is a fun game, but I'm not going to, I'm not going to satiate a flamingo. Fun game, but again, I'm not going to give you the answer that you're looking for. So this man was, he was an estate agent, and he was helping us move house.
Starting point is 00:02:00 and we were away. Oh, it was during COVID. And we were trying to move house during COVID, which was a kind of weird time to try and move house anyway. And he obviously needed to go into our flat to help people do viewings, to do viewings in the flat. So we had a key to the flat. And one time he sent me a text and he said,
Starting point is 00:02:17 your viewing didn't show up. And I was like, oh, okay. And then he was like, but I dusted off the guitar. What? The guitar. I was like, wait. what? And he was like, yeah. And then he sent me a video of him playing the guitar. You have got to be kidding me. And it's about a 90 second video. You have got to be kidding me. I actually have it if
Starting point is 00:02:40 you'd like to see it. Please. I only bring him up because he got asked to do, or he told me that he got asked to do that show or one of the similar ones, like selling London or wherever it was. Okay, fine, twist my arm, I'll find a video. Oh my God. I, it was such an intimate thing to receive such balls to do it to actually use the guitar. My mum kept saying that she's like if he's playing your guitar there's no doubt that he's also wearing your knickers I was like you're probably right. I mean I can but like people have cameras nowadays in their houses you can't you can't just you can't just barrel around and do what you want. I mean first of all it was 2020 we didn't have cameras in our houses but also we didn't need one he was cameraing it yeah because he
Starting point is 00:03:22 videoed it. You ready? So ready. Oh my God. Do you know this guy? No, who's my estate agent? No, I don't believe it. Oh my God. You just don't even know him. Well, like, I knew him as my estate agent, yeah. Ah, look at him, looking at the camera.
Starting point is 00:03:49 He's just in my house. What are you doing in my house? It's just legal. I've never seen anything like it in my entire. entire life. Oh, it gets... Getting jazzy. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I mean, he's not bad. No, it's not bad at all. It goes on for a minute, though. That's a weird thing to send. My favorite bit is the millennial pause, because he's obviously, like, prop the camera up. Oh, horrible.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I hate it. What are you supposed to do? What did you respond to it? I don't think I did. I think I shouldn't to everyone I knew, but I don't think I actually replied to it. I'm still waiting for a bit of validation to be like, oh, good job, mate. No, I think we just asked, well, no, I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I just, I assume the conversation moved on. It was just so weird. That's so strange. I love it. It was so weird. Can you tell me his name off mic, please? What? I know.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I told you. I've never heard that. I've never heard that word. Me neither. I don't think it is a name. I think it's just what he was called. Anyway. Moving on.
Starting point is 00:04:54 So I had a fun of state agent in 2020. He's good at the guitar. Any goods or buds or awkwards? I felt we haven't done it in a while. There's just been so much going on. I know. Well, my good is I cycled here. Oh, God, here we go.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I know. I am obsessed. My awkward is my helmet. They're just awkward. Like, I'm just an awkward person. I don't agree with you at all. I strongly disagree that helmets are awkward. No, I mean, like, obviously fantastic.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Yeah. No, yeah. But why are they awkward? Right. So this morning, put my helmet on to leave the house. I'm like, ready, I'm going to cycle to work on a line bike because I am getting my bike. I do have a bike
Starting point is 00:05:28 and I'm getting it to London so I don't have to do this anymore because this morning was excruciating. But I put my helmet on walked out the front door and I was like, where's a line bike?
Starting point is 00:05:35 I walked for a mile before I found one with my helmet on. That's the awkward. Yeah, that's actually quite awkward. That's a bit embarrassing. What a knob. I did think
Starting point is 00:05:45 because then a car nearly ran me over and I thought, well, there's an argument for wearing one of these all the time. If I had it my way, if I had it my way, we would all walk around in helmets all of the time.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Not indoors, but outdoors, yes. Tommy, indoors and outdoors. Helmets at all time. Yeah, that'll help him make loads of friends. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Yes. He will be well loved. Give me the coolest kidding in school. I feel like, oh, do you need to talk more about cycling? I would love to, but I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's really interesting, please. It'll come out. It'll come out. I'll, I'll just, hold tight. I'll, I'll, I'll give you some more in a minute. Tell me what's going on with you. Okay, okay. Um. because I am really interested in your cycling. It is really, really interesting. You're hearing about it whether you like it or not.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I know. I feel like I have fully prepared for it. I feel like I have discovered a great life hack. Really clever. I feel like I have really tapped into something that not many people know about because if they did, we talk about it more. I have been really struggling with motivation with the house stuff. You know, when you're like the floor becomes a floordrobe.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Like, the kitchen's just in chaos. There's just stuff everywhere. Like, you do washing and then you just can't be else to put it away. I know. Because you have to wash it and then you've got to dry it. I know. And then you've got to fold it and put it away. And then you have to wash it all over again because you've got it dirty.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, I know. It's a horrible. It's a never-ending cycle. It's savage that we have to live like this, isn't it? Anyway, that side. So the house is in chaos. And I didn't know what to do about it because I just couldn't get the motivation up to do it. until Dave invited two friends around to the house, right?
Starting point is 00:07:28 Two friends that hadn't, we haven't seen for a while, they're acquaintances, but they're not like, friend friends, they're not like my sisters who would just come around and see the house. Well, I hope they don't listen to this, because they're going to know exactly how you feel about them. When these people comes about, they're not really friends, acquaintances.
Starting point is 00:07:44 They are friends, but like, not like around the corner, drop in on you friend and friends, who I wouldn't feel the need to tidy the house for. They came and we both spent a morning just, like blitzing the place and I was like this is what we have to do so your life hack is making friends no no I'm gonna go that far my life hack is inviting over friends like not good good friends not like best friends inviting them over and then you just feel compelled to do it and it just forces you into it I lack that compulsion we have a tidy house I'm married to
Starting point is 00:08:17 that I'm married to that compulsion Alex has that compulsion I love that for you I used to be that I don't have that. Like, I'm like, love me as I am or don't love me. Poor Alex. Yeah. If I want a tiny house. I want a tidy house for my own soul. Like, I, but it's, but it's, it's for me, not for other people.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Do you know what I mean? Like, I'll light a candle if someone else is coming around because I'm like, yes. That's, that's just good manners. Yeah. But as for the match, I'm like, I've got two young children. I am barely surviving. Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Take me as I am. But kid mess, I don't feel the need to clean up because I'm like, there's no point. We're all just big kids, though, at the end of the day. I just feel like I'm passing on real wisdom here. I know. I like great, like sage advice. Time lapse yourself, that's what I find incredibly effective. If I'm doing the dishwasher and I put this bitch on time lapse, it's about this.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Like Steven Spielberg, hi, I'm doing my dishes. What about that motivates you, don't understand? One, I know that if I go and get distracted and go and sit down on the sofa, it's going to be a shit time lapse. Two, if I pick up my phone, I have to end the time lapse. And three, I don't want to be stuck doing the dishes for ages because I want to get my phone and go and stay up on the sofa so I need to speed up and do the thing.
Starting point is 00:09:38 But you're time lapsing yourself or the camera? I'm time lapsing myself. I'm using the camera to time lapse myself. So you can watch it back afterwards. Well, no, just so that you can't use your phone while you're doing it. Okay. Because it's, and also, like, the admission to yourself that you are a bad failure of a person
Starting point is 00:09:56 when you go and sit on the sofa and watch your phone recording nothing is quite stark. But you could just pick your phone back up. But then you have to know that you failed. Like, if I had to waddle back over to my phone and be like, sorry, phone, no time lapse today because I'm a lazy bitch, then I'd feel bad. So the, the accountability. The act of recording is the accountability. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Because I'm like, if I don't get this foot. then it means I haven't done the thing and if I haven't done the thing. But you don't need to do anything with the footage. You don't just like, show it to Alex. No, no, I just delete it. Yeah. Actually, it's me. I don't delete it.
Starting point is 00:10:30 I was going to say, do you bollocks. No, it's one of the quarter of a million videos I've got on my phone. And I wish that was an exaggeration, but that's actually the number now in my gallery. Isn't it? What's not surprising things I have to film myself doing every task. Humanity is doomed. Humanity is absolutely fucked. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Is that your good? No, it wasn't my good. No, it's just something I wanted to do. No, it was my good. It was your good. It was something I wanted to talk to you about. And were your friends complimentary of the house? I felt really proud of that.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Now I'm like to Dave, who else can we invite? Me. Invite me. I haven't been to your house. Yeah, but like you're different. I wouldn't feel the need to, no offense. No, I don't mean that. You don't feel the need to invite me or to?
Starting point is 00:11:09 No, no, to invite you. But I wouldn't be like, oh my God, I'm coming. We've got to do the house nice. Would you not? No, sorry. No, because. That's fair enough. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:11:18 But I would like, you know, you could put a little carpet down. or something. I feel like we know it so well. It wouldn't be like, oh, I'm going to see the, like, the mess here. I don't think I'd care. But it's like people that, you know. You care about. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:31 There we go. Do you have anything bad? Please do come to see the house, though. Please do you come to the house. Literally invite me. I sit on my hands, waiting. I'm like, one day she'll invite me. Oh, no, please come.
Starting point is 00:11:42 No, I love to. I don't invite because I just don't. Don't have to tell you. Well, I just, I don't know that people would want to come, but please come. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'll ask. If I don't, I'll say no. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:11:54 No, I just have to brace for rejection. Excellent. I can't wait to ask. Put your heart on the line. That was my good. I don't know. Bad. Fine, I'll tell you more about my cycling.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Go on then, please. You feel on your edge of your EGBC, Everson. It was only that I got chaperoned to work this morning by a man who had no idea that he was chaperoning me. I was like, this is a confident man. I am not going to lose sight of him. There were junctions I'd never done before. I was stuck with him.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And then he turned left at Westminster. I was like, where are you going? And this isn't the way? What are we going to do now? And after I lost him, the whole journey got way worse. I had him for like five miles. How are you knowing where to go? I followed him.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Have you got your phone? You didn't know where he was going. I know the way to work. I just knew where to go. But then I was just really happy. Every time we got to a junction, I was like, oh, yes. Like, we're together. And then when he turned left, I was like, oh, my God, where are you going?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Did he spot you? I don't know. Probably. That's why he turned left. He probably works in the building. He's just like fucking how the swimmer. I was like peddling as well as fast as I could. Sadly, he was on, I was on an electric bike and he was just on a normal one.
Starting point is 00:13:04 But I was still like panting away trying to keep up with him. Yeah, he left. But he was incredibly helpful. He served his purpose well. Because I was, I was a wreck. I was like, am we allowed to cross here? I don't know. I can't believe you know the way here.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Why is that, of course. Yeah. I know the way here. You didn't have to have Google Maps up? No. Jesus. God, I don't even know the way to the tube from here. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:13:29 You ask every time we leave. Every time we go left or right, I'm always right. Hasn't moved. Yeah. The sense of direction is horrible. It's kind of an easy one, though. We're right by Waterloo, so you've just got to get to Waterloo. And I know the way to Waterloo.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I love you say, well, you've just got to get to Waterloo. Okay, cool. Yeah. You just, you know, I've walking quite a lot. I've walked in quite a lot. I got the time, but I didn't have the time this morning. I, when the kids are asleep, then I walk in, walk in there. It's great, it's a lovely walk.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Anyway, yeah. Bit savage on a bike, because I've been roundabouts. But I had a man. I could not cycle in London, not a chance. I wouldn't ask you to. I don't think it would be kind. Faye cycled in today as well. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Faye and I are on a, like. And you, you run together, or not together, but on strong. We will run together. You will. Yeah, we will. I actually, I was thinking of whether I could like take a little detour to pick Fay up on the commute. Would you like to be my chaperone? Yes, please. Friends.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I love it. This is great. There's nothing stopping you. I do have a spare helmet now. It's quite a lot of stopping me. Willpower and what, probably. And crippling anxiety. What fears you? What ails you, my friend? The cars.
Starting point is 00:14:40 No, I don't trust myself. Balance. No, it's me. No, no, I can ride. I can ride a bike. Don't you laugh. I learned try to bike at 18. I was a disaster. My sister is 30 and still cannot ride a bike
Starting point is 00:14:53 It's a bloody difficult thing to do We've lost count of the times We've tried to teach her how Which one? It's painful Eleanor Yeah It's painful I get that vibe
Starting point is 00:15:02 It's a fucking hard thing to do It's two wheels There's nothing There's no reason why you should stay up Like Yeah that's true Yeah I mean like
Starting point is 00:15:11 Like Yeah well you can only stay up with momentum Ergonically Ergonomically Ergonomically That's the fun When you're looking it's like this makes no sense and yet somehow you've just um you have just broken my no not my
Starting point is 00:15:29 dream you've just brought me back to a good that I have mm-hmm you trying to spell carousel it's sad it was it was so sad that I couldn't do the tech I couldn't do the tech I couldn't do the dictaphone thing you were trying to say carousel as in like a carousel post on Instagram, but my God, I mean, you couldn't even get to the point where auto text like could predict something for you. It was just not having it. You were spelling it as, oh, C-A-R-A-S-O-L, no, C-A-D-R-A-S-O-L, no, C-A-R-A-S-O-L. No, C-A-R-O-S-U-U-L. That one sounded fine. I'm not sure if this is bullying, but I'm enjoying this so much. It's a really hard word. And when she wrote it how you're supposed to
Starting point is 00:16:24 write it, it looks nothing like what it should be. The ones that I gave first, they make loads of sense. Carasol. Carasol. Carra. So I think the thing is, I don't say it as carousole, say it as carousel. So to me, it looks pretty right to me how you'd say it. Carousel. Carousel. Carousel, carousel, yeah. Now you say it like that, I realise I've been saying it wrong this whole time. I thought it's called a carousel. Like a parasol. Oh!
Starting point is 00:16:56 Wouldn't that make sense? Why do we do this? Why do we make so many words? It's so annoying. English is really, really stupid. I thought it was like a parasol. No, I'm pretty sure it's carousel. Why would you make a parasol and a carousel?
Starting point is 00:17:08 Why would you just have a parasol or a carousel? I don't understand. Yeah, they're like, yeah. What about a carousel, what about a cara thing that the kids go on? Carousel. oh now the word sounds funny to me I've said it too much but yeah carousel but that gives parasol energy that gives the same carousel carousel yeah carousel that's where it comes from right proto carousel because it goes round oh for god's sake everything's falling into place but i think
Starting point is 00:17:35 if you look at a carousel it gives mary poppins it gives you know like when they're on the thingy yeah which is the same energy because she's carrying a parasel what's a parisole it's the thing that you have up in the in the sun to stop the sun it's like a hammering it's like a parisole. Yeah, but that's a parasol, like a, like a, not parasol. That's what I'm saying. Where, what do you mean? It's parisole, isn't it? Rather than a parasol. There's no, there's no E. I think it's just a soul rather than a soul. That's what I'm saying. Parasol. Parasol. But I'm saying they're giving the same energy. Carousel and parasol should be the same thing. How many listeners do you think we have left at this point? The ones we do have gone insane. Stop saying parisole.
Starting point is 00:18:15 It's annoying No the English language is Like we do have a lot of stupid things in there That make zero sense It'll just make me feel stupid Anyone that comes here and can learn English I'm like You're an extraordinary
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah Like I've been doing this shit my whole life And I still butcher it on the regs I just don't butcher it on the regs I just don't show you Oh good tell you, show and tell you. I've been waiting for this.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I've put one in my backpack. Okay. We have all brought in a mug, a fork and a spoon. No, no, sorry, our favourite mug fork and spoon. I need to say, I've done favourite on crockery. Like, I've done favourite on design, but I haven't done favourite on pattern because I was commuting on a bike and I thought if my favourite mug gets broken because I get hit by a car, I didn't think about that.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I'll be very upset. So I've put it in bubble wrap, but it's my favourite. Tissue. Yes. It's, I don't want to break my mugs. I put myself in helmet and I put my mug in bubble wrap. Put my mug in a helmet. Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Thank you. But it's also, Alex would be, so. And I'd be like, why have you broken the mug? I'll be like, sorry. It's, but I didn't bring my favourite, just like, it's not my favourite one. My favourite one has got bees on in. It says mummy. But I've bought my favourite, it's the same shape.
Starting point is 00:19:41 That's all we need. We need that. That's what I thought. It just didn't want to be judged on, I didn't want to be judged on the pattern. No, no, no. We're not judging a book by its cover today. We're judging it by its content. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, yes. Who's going first? I feel like Dex should go first. I don't know why. We put weapons to work. I put a whole set. I'm ready for lunch. Well, that's why I said, let's not do knife.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I bought a knife. Oh, you did? Well, I thought, well, yeah. No, excellent. If a job's worth doing. That'll do. Okay, Dex has just passed me a fork. It's got a big.
Starting point is 00:20:13 It's a big, thick handle. Uh-huh. And a very, a very thin, stainless steel tip. That looks like it's going to work for you, though, that thin, stainless steel tip. It is, but the handle feels funny. I don't know. Also, I don't like those ridges, because I feel like food's going to get caught in them. You know where it moves from handle to fork and there's like a ridge?
Starting point is 00:20:32 I don't like that. Okay. So what are you giving decks out of five? A hygiene thing? Out of ten? I'm going to give you six. Out of ten? It's not bad?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah, out of ten. It's not bad. It could do better. I feel fiercely protective of my fork as I hand this over. Oh no, I hate it. This is a wedding gift. I'm sorry. These I love my forks.
Starting point is 00:20:54 This is a, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is a, this is a, this is a, oh no. Oh, no. It's so heavy. Exactly. It's a very, it's so heavy. You know, I, what I will say is that the tip, what we call them the, the, the sprongs? The prongs. Yes. Prongs. And that's quite nice, quite nicely rounded. Um, but that's, um, but That's way too heavy. Why are we giving it to her to answer? Like, you're fucking Prue Leaf. I'm really enjoying it.
Starting point is 00:21:20 You're going to give someone a handshake if they do well. I feel that we should be reviewing them collectively. I feel like we've given you too much power. No, it's okay. No, I want to see you. I want to see what you do with it. I'd much prefer Dexas over yours. What?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Yeah, sorry. But X's is so thin. That's precisely it. Also, yours is almost like a spork. It's so rounded. It's almost, it's almost like a spoon. Well, yeah, but how are you going to get your peas up on it if you've got a flat one? This is so heavy.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Oh my God. No wonder you've got big arms now. I give you a five. It's fine. Are you kidding? I give you a five. This is a really fucking fabulous ballwalk. What do you give Dex?
Starting point is 00:22:00 Sorry Dex, but this is just not doing it for me. It's too light. I don't like the novelty handle. I don't care for it. And no, no. Listen to that. No, no. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Well, they sound the same. No, they don't actually. Your sounds thicker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then this one. No. I don't care for this. I mean, gun to my head.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Do you have like an extra load dishwasher, like a heavy load dishwasher? Because if you have loads of people. I'd sooner use my hands in a fork like this. Oh, please. Faye, what have you got? Oh, God, I haven't even seen Alex with here. Oh, good. I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I feel that Faye and I are going to be on a vibe here. I'm not sure about my coloring. Oh, no, I'm not either. I have to say Faye No you know what Oh my God what I like the prongs I like the head
Starting point is 00:22:50 I don't care much for the handle Okay But I feel like I could Certainly make with that work That those prongs Oh my God no The head is so long The handle is the same length as the head
Starting point is 00:23:04 Do not like that at all You are miles away from your food my god right all right come on then you my little my fork prophet see my show us how it's done with this like speed of fork it's so long this voice of authority it's awesome are you kidding this i present to you the perfect that is your high horse no no no remember that we're not judging on appearance we're not judging on appearance that looks like prison cutlery we're not judging on appearance it's it's thin it's very easy to handle very very easy to it's wide, the handle, the handle is wide.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I feel like if I went go-karting and then they were like, they did lunch after the go-karting, this is the fork they'd give me. But that's, like, any, any kids activity, any stag-do activity, if I had to go to the canteen afterwards, I feel like this would be the fork that they provided. I feel like this is exactly the thing to pick up a hash-brown with. I don't think this is the fork for me. No?
Starting point is 00:24:07 I don't think so at all. I think this is a terrible fork. Give me yours again You see when you put them next to each other It makes you realise how bad yours is Like look how stunning my fork is It's tiny though look It's actually tiny
Starting point is 00:24:21 Hang on you just said phase was too big And that you were too far away from your food Your prongs are too small Look at that My prongs are longer than yours You've just got a longer bit below the prong And that's what you need For what? What goes there

Starting point is 00:25:17 so the police will be called. Would you like to see my spoon? Yes, please. Oh, I bought a pig one and a little one. Oh, no. Oh, God, it's awful. Is it the same set? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:30 There's my biggest spoon. My cereal spoon. Oh my God, no, that's so bendy. It looks like Yuri Gellas had a go with it. Look at that. that. It's awful. Are you joking? It's like, it's way bent out of shape.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It's not bent out of shit. That's the perfect spoon for scooping. That's horrible. That is bent, no? It's quite bending. Yeah. Oh, God. No. Well, sorry, you want to get the milk from the bottom of your cereal bowl. You barely even need to move your wrist. My handle, though. I like that. I do like that.
Starting point is 00:26:00 It is, yeah, it's a lovely spoon. That's why you like it. That's my spoon. I don't want to accidentally take one of you. I actually think you might like that. You know what, Al. given where I thought we were going it's quite nice, isn't it? This is a lovely spoon. This is a really nice spoon. Thank you so much. I'd be really
Starting point is 00:26:15 happy with that. Thank you. I hate your fork, but I like your spoon. Faye, any thoughts? Emma's a clear winner. Thank you so much. Now the moment we've all been waiting for. The mug? Let's say. There's only one winner. In this wonderful world. Emma Bridgewater.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Emma Bridgewater. I see fay i actually have a labradoodle mug so cheers cheers to that fay's got the labrador one this is i have to stress the spots weren't my first choice okay you know they're a good like cupboard filler but it's not my mug my mug says mummy on it and it's got bumblebees on okay that's cute beautiful oh my bridgewater yes and then i have another one which got ollo and zanthie's handprints on that that's cute also it says mummy on it that's cute yeah basically everyone has come back off my coffee that is a stunning mug thick ceramic it yeah you just know where you stand it's i love how chunky it is actually that's right i didn't think you like them chunky no no i love how chunky the
Starting point is 00:27:12 base is but the the the rim is way too thick right look at that i got my mug a whisper would break that i feel like if you poured your water too like you put too much water in it it would crack they crack all the time so many people said to me oh but it's got gold on it so you can't put it in the microwave uh the dishwasher i was like watch me yeah that's why it looks like that this is your perfect mug yeah it's my perfect right well you clearly haven't put it in the dishwasher because that is... I have. That's a dirty mug.
Starting point is 00:27:42 It's heavier than it looks like it's going to be. I would be upset to drink. I don't think I'd enjoy a coffee out of this mug. I don't like a white, I don't like white ceramic. I want it to be cream. It's too juxtaposing. Yeah, like white, like brown is too much.
Starting point is 00:28:00 The contrast is, I like them all to be like tonal. Yeah, creamy, like neutral. Yeah, like at this, it's like a neutral, Whereas yours is very white, apart from where it's stained with dirt. He's not shaming me. But I feel like you'd actually be able to get away with the stains if you had a darker mug. Yeah, it is quite white. I think the bright white is a bit of an undoing for me.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Also says D on it. I don't feel like it would bring my comfort. I don't feel like I could cuddle this in a comforting manner. Your hot chocolate. No, I don't think this would do my magnesium drink any good. Oh, yeah, I need to get some of that, actually. Yeah. I wouldn't drink it out of this mug, though.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Would you not? No, that's fair enough. I think we can all agree we definitely wouldn't drink out Dex's mug The horrible little teacup Yeah Dex, that's a weird You're not getting a latte in there You're getting an espresso shot
Starting point is 00:28:48 One, tops It is continental It is very continental I am not continental Nothing about me is continental I feel like there's Emma British water mugs are quite I know actually they're proper English aren't they They're English yeah
Starting point is 00:29:03 Proper British Yeah well that was fun I don't think that was actually going to be any good for anybody listening to that because I didn't get to see a thing well should we put them all on Instagram and maybe everyone could do a vote
Starting point is 00:29:16 yeah let's take a picture off them yeah I need to say off the bat I'm a filthy crockery snob and I make no apology are you well yes you've seen me absolutely do you mix a match your crockery and cutlery
Starting point is 00:29:29 no no no no what do you mean well do you have like a cupboard full of like different oh yeah sorry I thought you meant like in one meal now we do have we do we do have some horrible you might like them actually
Starting point is 00:29:44 we've got some forks and knives and spoons at home that's weird when you say them out of order knives and forks and spoons at home that we really don't care for and I imagine you might actually like them a lot so I can give them to you if you like yeah yes please please do bring them in
Starting point is 00:29:57 but like you haven't got a matching set of crockery of cups of cups or like loads are the same yeah no no no you've got a little personality but we've got mugs that are like we've got mugs that are like not like not home mugs we've got mugs for like if people come over who are like i don't really care about no that's not fair who would i give a not caring about mug too oh well okay let's say alo wants to do painting like i'm not going to give her an ever bridgewater oh i see yeah yeah i've got those too let's say yes yes let's say like someone's
Starting point is 00:30:31 I don't know doing an outside job like you don't want to take the mug outside yeah or like if you want to collect fat I don't collect fat you know if you like what do you mean you've like got some
Starting point is 00:30:49 well you don't eat meat so that'll be it yeah but if you want to collect fat stick it in one of the can I ask we have a bumble mug what an earth is happening why are you collecting fat I don't know, but Dave always puts, Dave, I actually, I actually don't know, I just know, I just know, blocks the drains. So that's why he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:31:08 But when you say you collect it, it makes it sound like it's for a purpose. No, I don't think it is, but I do know that he uses this specific, it's a Bumble mug. I think Bumble sent me a year's ago and he's always wanted to put it in the bin, but I say no, because that's how me and Dave met through Bumble, so I'm like, oh, we're going to keep it cute. He always puts the fat in it, and then he never remembers to throw the fat away. So I always have to throw the fat away from the Bumble mug. feel it would be kinder at this point for your relationship to throw the mug away. To throw the mug away. So it's just destined to collect the fat that's forgotten about.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I tell you, the worst thing that we ever got as a wedding present speaking of, because our cutlery was a wedding present, actually I still have your fork between my legs, which is spiky. Was Ross, Alex's best friend, got us a tree as a wedding present, which is a horrible responsibility because it was a tree, an Irish oak, to represent our men. marriage. It was a baby tree. So it was like, you know, size of this tree, except this tree behind me is fake. But it was like, whatever. Now, this is where it all comes done. Okay. Everybody got hurt because we got this tree, which I, from the minute it arrived, I was like, you've done a bad thing here because now the pressure on this tree is, gogant to you. And
Starting point is 00:32:16 the pressure on this tree is bigger than the pressure on my marriage because of everything it represents. Put it up in our house. What did we do? Moved house. Where's the tree? In the house. In the fucking house. Now, the worst thing is, what do you mean in the house? Well, it's in the garden. Oh, in the garden. But Alex told me, now he told me that it came with us. So I've just gone about the last year thinking that our marriage tree was in the garden. And it's not. But he told Ross that he took it to my dad's house and that it was growing there.
Starting point is 00:32:43 So when we and Ross got together, we talked about it and we were like, where's the tree? Oh my God. We'd both been fed different stories. You could uproot that and replant it. Not anymore. We can't. It's in someone else's garden. It belongs to them now.
Starting point is 00:32:55 My marriage is in the hands of someone else. They might not care for gardening. That tree could be dying. And famously, they weren't very nice people either. No. So if I've got a voodoo doll, like if I've got a voodoo tree, if I get divorced, be rest assured, it's because those people haven't watered my tree. Oh my God, I can't believe that.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I know, but I thought we didn't. Quite. Not only did he forget it. Is he apologetic? No. He's doubled down on his lives. We don't know where we stand, Ross and I. We're very concerned.
Starting point is 00:33:21 But the difficult thing is, I know this is my problem because the marriage is 50% might. But I have to stress two things. One, pregnant, very ill when we move. house and two I don't care for gardening it's the one hobby I don't have no and you can just buy another Irish oak you know I should don't know if you can just find it I don't know are expensive I don't know can you buy trees I don't know how it works you definitely buy trees but I feel like it represents more than that I could get another husband should I that's the question no I just you know I don't know with all these things I'm like
Starting point is 00:33:51 does it really matter if you have a replacement and it's not the first one the real one Does it really matter? I actually think it does. Does anything in life really matter? I don't know. But one thing I did want to share with you is last night. This should have been my bad actually. Last night, Dave.
Starting point is 00:34:10 So Dave. Dave asked me for a divorce. But I'm like, it doesn't matter. Nothing in life actually matters. It's fine. Dave went to the supermarket to get us dinner. I was like out of it yesterday because I'd had an aesthetic. And I was.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I was so out of it. So I was like, yeah, go get dinner. He came back and we had, we had dinner. And then at like, half eight, I was like, oh, I could really do with some dessert. We don't have anything, do we? And he was like, no. And he was like, do you know what, though? You really need to go to bed.
Starting point is 00:34:42 He's like, you look exhausted. Just go to bed. And I was like, I'm actually okay. And he's like, I really think you should go to bed. Come on, let's go to bed. What can I do for you? Should I get your toothbrush ready? And I was like, he's literally putting me to bed.
Starting point is 00:34:53 How sweet? Came down this morning. What did I find on the sofa? It's an empty ice cream tub. He'd gone to the supermarket. He'd spotted there's a new ice cream flavor that's like loaded chalk or something. Something delicious. I don't like chocolate ice cream, so this is what's happened.
Starting point is 00:35:18 He's gone, he's bought it. He's not thought about me because if he had thought about me, he would have bought another ice cream that was appropriate for me because that is not. I don't like chocolate ice cream. and he's forgotten about me he's come back and he's like
Starting point is 00:35:29 he's been like shit I really want to eat my ice cream I've got to put to bed so I can eat my ice cream right he didn't come to bed till 11 o'clock and I was like
Starting point is 00:35:36 what have you been doing? No he won't have done if he's eating a tub of ice cream he'll be pinging off the walls a rabbit hole you know and I came down and he's fucking left
Starting point is 00:35:42 left the tub there there is peace in the fact that the man is not having an affair if he was you'd know all about it by now it feels just as duplicitous I don't know it's incredibly shady
Starting point is 00:35:54 isn't it? I don't love it I think he should have... I know. I know. I like, though, when you can have a massive fight with someone completely unfairly. Like, I like that you can... That is not actually that big a deal.
Starting point is 00:36:07 But it represents a big deal. Huge deal. He didn't think about me. He didn't think about you at all. How long was he not thinking about before? But he thought about me to buy dinner. So he... He was aware of your existence.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Yeah, exactly. He just wasn't aware of your need for a treat. He just lost it when he saw this exciting new product. Yeah, no, that's attractive. Things have been frosty this morning. No pun intended. Quite. I started a big fight with Alex because I started doing my handstands and he didn't
Starting point is 00:36:32 build my handstand stool for me. And I thought, what's the point? What's the point? You know? I left it sitting in front of you for three days unbuilt. And you didn't build it. So I guess I'll just build it myself. The fuck is that with that.
Starting point is 00:36:44 How rude? I know. And the act was I actually enjoyed building it a lot. But it's what it represents, you know? Yeah. Can you do what? Do I. Well, yes, except don't.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Don't look too closely at the stool because I've written feet. The thing that says feet up, I've put on upside down, which is exactly what I did when I built. That sounds dangerous. You can't really get that wrong. Well, no, you can. You could just read it now from upside down. But the thing that you gave Feralo, the kitchen that you gave Feralo,
Starting point is 00:37:11 I built that. I love building things, but I put the feet on for that upside down too, so don't look too closely at it. And everyone, everyone, DM me like, wow, guys, does such a good job. And everyone's like, you are so smart because now toys can't get stuck underneath it. I was like, yes. Sorry, going back to the Hansan thing
Starting point is 00:37:26 Because it feels very important That that is stable and sturdy And does not give way When you were on it upside down Because I've been up loads And it's not gone down yet Okay
Starting point is 00:37:35 And if we go down then We go down together I'll be fine You know like I want It's actually better for my marriage And for my soul But if I go down It's my own fault
Starting point is 00:37:46 I don't want to be able to blame him Do you know what I mean But if you go down You might not be able to blame anyone Well then at least he wouldn't blame himself Yeah, that's true actually He can blame me too It's safer this way
Starting point is 00:37:58 I am very upset with Dave though for that and I am sorry for you I know I just hope it's rectified tonight I'll let you know Do you think you will get Is that a love line Is that what you do? Is that what you'll do?
Starting point is 00:38:08 Will you do that? You better had, yeah That's nice Yeah You better had That's so rude Just to think about yourself like that It's so selfish
Starting point is 00:38:15 Well yeah but now I fear I fear that I'm selfish And I fear that Alex is selfish I haven't been bought a sweet treat and I don't know how long. I think it's time. Yeah, but you wouldn't buy one for yourself and not Alex, would you?
Starting point is 00:38:27 No, I only buy things for him. I'm a feeder notoriously. Ten years as a vegan, I'd always buy him things that I wanted to eat but then I wanted him to eat them. That's exciting. I know, but I haven't got used to that bit yet, so I still just buy them for him mostly.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Oh, I know. Make the most. Me and my big heart. Dave could learn a lesson. Well, this has been a chaotic episode. Exactly what we needed. We did. We needed a bit of light relief
Starting point is 00:38:52 after the past few weeks. I want more light relief. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to do this serious. Shit, I can't handle it. I'm tired. Yeah, our nervous systems are fried. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Why do you think I'm upside down the whole time? I don't think that's how you restore your nervous system. I'm sorry to break it to you. I actually think that could probably do more damage than good. My nervous system? Yes. No. Because that's not, I mean, here you go, body.
Starting point is 00:39:15 You're already stressed. Let's tip you upside down and see how you cope with that. I don't think that works like that. I don't think that works really. I actually disagree. wholeheartedly. I think it's like turning it off and on again. It's like, whoa, you didn't see that coming. Do you know what I mean? Like my body's going about every day and there's like, ah, threat there, ah, threat there. Upside down. It's putting it in rice.
Starting point is 00:39:31 You can't even see, exactly. You don't even know what's coming anymore when you're outside down. You're like, whoa, nothing is expected and there is peace there. I can't wait for your next hobby. Right. But please no more cycling talk. You're just kidding. I'm going to cycle home. I'm going to cycle home. I'll send on the whole thing. I'll just go on my phone later. Thank you for listening, guys. We will see you on Monday. Bye-bye. Should I delete that as part of the ACAS creator network.
