Hello, and welcome back to Shoulda Delete That, and Mike's Light.
I'm then Clarkson.
How are we?
I'm all right.
How are you?
Good, I'm good.
Are you good?
Can I just ask, because I've been dying to know, but you said that we had to save it for the pod.
You have a story about Real Housewives of London.
I need to know.
Okay.
I need to know.
It's a, it's...
Sorry.
It's a sight
I think what's the word I'm looking
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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!
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
To catch stuff? To catch what?
What angle are you using?
No, mine's the perfect one for peas
Because it's like
It's not, it's not enough
Girt
But yours is flat
They'll just roll off
You need to be held
Hammocked
Hold them together
No
I can't even
I actually can't even
Hold that in my hand
I couldn't eat with that
I couldn't eat with that
No
Do you want a knife
Oh yes please
Do it here
Wait till you feel the weight of this
Oh my God
Bloody hell that he's chunky
Yeah no that's good
Don't mind that actually
It's a good knife.
I don't mind that night.
It's part of the same set, so.
I love me as I am.
I like a sharper edge.
Don't do that too much or else I won't be able to go home with them,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
