Hello and welcome back to delete that, I'm like's light.
And I'm M Clarkson.
Eyebrows looking good.
Thank you so much.
Have you had them done again?
Yes, I have.
I got them done yesterday.
Nice.
Thank you very much.
I'm...
I thought you only had to land on it every once in a while, no.
It's been a while.
Has it?
Yeah, yeah.
So I've just done them once in a while.
Yeah, no, it was a little while ago.
It was done again.
Nice.
Yeah, yeah, that's the trick.
I get my eyebrows done like once every six months, I think.
Maybe even less.
I need to get on it more.
Well, I mean, like, I'm dragging myself through by a thread.
I haven't even putting eye makeup on today because I didn't have time.
So I just, I'm off the like, the more I do, the more I invest in like the big time stuff,
the more time I save long term.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
It's like if I do them, then I don't need to do the rest of it.
Although I'll probably get all this footage back and be like,
which is not.
Not the right message.
No, I make up as having a moment.
Is it?
Yeah, it is.
Good.
I've seen Olivia Palermo.
Do you remember her?
Yes.
Did you watch the city?
No.
Did you not?
The city?
Yeah, so there was the hills and then.
I didn't watch the hills.
Lauren Conrad.
Did you not watch?
Oh, my God.
My mom was really funny about I was watching American TV.
Oh my God.
She really didn't like us watching it.
She's like, oh, it's American rubbish.
I was like, it's not.
It's cinema.
It's a masterpiece.
I had to watch a lot of stuff in secret.
Did you watch Laguna Beach?
Nope.
I watched Hollyoaks.
I didn't know why she thought I could watch Hollyoaks,
but not anything American.
Hollyoze was broke.
I was allowed to watch The Simpsons,
but I wasn't allowed to watch anything like just American,
and I don't really know why.
You miss out on so much.
I was allowed to watch American films,
but just not American TV.
I really don't know what she didn't trust.
What's your excuse, say?
Why haven't you watched?
Laguna, the city, the hills
Oh my god, you guys are
How old are?
How old are?
29. Oh, Slay, yeah.
Okay, yeah, me and Faye are too young.
I think, yeah.
Scratch for my mum's excuse, we're just young.
Oh, God, you've missed an absolute treat.
Go back and watch it.
It's some of the best TV in the world.
Is it like 90210101?
Because I watched 902101, the new one, obviously.
No, no, because the Laguna Beach was the,
I think I'm right in saying,
that it was like the first ever reality TV show.
Wasn't that Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton's?
Simple Life.
Yeah, I think that was the first.
Was it?
I think so.
Fact-checked Faye!
Quicker, Faye, quicker.
FCF.
Fact-checked Faye.
That was released in 2003.
Which one? Simple Life.
Simple Life.
Yeah.
I mean, that is early.
It was early.
The Guna Beach was released in 2000.
thought yeah so okay so it's a mum of fun fact okay so it was one of the first and I remember
I remember seeing it on TV and being really confused it was like girls in the bathroom and I could
tell it wasn't like drama it wasn't scripted and I was like what on earth is this I was so
confused by it and then hooked straight away hooked there was so much drama and like love
interests and oh god it was so good I like foroned over Stephen the
The love interest in it is just amazing.
I have no reason to put myself on blast as I'm about to do.
But you've just unlocked something in me and I just feel like embarrassing myself.
Go.
For no reason.
So whilst I wasn't allowed to watch a lot of TV, I was allowed to play The Sims,
but I knew that if I pushed my luck and if my mum knew the extent of what the Sims could get up to,
it would be banned.
So I used to play a lot, but I'd make, obviously, my sister's five years younger,
so I'd let her watch me.
obviously she wasn't allowed to play so I would sit at the desk and she could sit on a little
still next to me and watch and that was how we spent a lot of our time and she always tells
this story of like when we would make the sims a woo-hoo I would be sitting next each other and she
said there was one time we were playing and like blah and then they were about to do it and I just
turned to her and I went close the door and I made it get up and close the door so that we
could make the sims a woohoo because I knew that if my mom came in and was like what
are they doing?
Absolutely not.
It would be a forbidden game.
Game over, literally.
So I used to make her close the door so we can make the sim.
Woo-hoo.
Oh, I love.
You did a great ad about this, about this.
Thank you so much.
Using the Sims as a concept.
That was so good.
Thank you so much.
I will be following that out with a part to you because it was so much fun.
That was really, really good.
It was really good.
Oh my God, I loved the Sims.
I would do.
I would love to just have a day, just play.
saying the sims. I would get very quickly bored of it now. I actually lie. I didn't love The Sims
because it went so slowly. It did move so slowly. I thought... I mean, look. It's not a fast-paced
game. No, and this is unfortunately a breeding ground. It's that attitude that has paved the way
for Grand Theft Auto and like running over prostitutes and shooting... Had that been around.
Well, quite. In my day, I would have loved it. I think that's it. I think that's why. Like, when I
played Grand Theft Auto with my brother, I would drive the car. Like, it would be my challenge
to drive the car at normal speed. I'd be like, right, I'm going to drive on the right side
of the road. I'm going to be law abiding. I'm going to complete the mission whilst...
That's so fucking boring. Oh, you were shit to play with. Your poor brother.
My poor brother! Well, so he should have just carried on as he was, stabbing the prostitutes.
Grand Theft Auto is a horrible game. Do they really start prostitutes? That's literally the
objective. Yeah, you get like points for it and stuff. It's really bad. But it's because
it's because our minds are slow, you know, we're like, oh, the Sims isn't fast enough.
Oh, this woo-hooing.
No, but I do maintain the sims is not fast enough.
You can put them on fast-forward.
You can put them on double fast forward.
Oh, okay.
Had I known.
That's how you get through the nights.
There was playback speed.
I would have...
Oh, yeah, you can speed them up, but the risk obviously is if they get hungry three times as fast.
They pee themselves three times as fast.
Keep you on your toes.
Oh, my God.
Do you remember the game, the skiing game?
I think it was on computer.
You're going to say that you were like too young for this, aren't you?
Yeah. There's a skiing game and I think it was on like a windows like a proper old school computer.
It was the literally, was it?
It's a good ski free.
Possibly.
Tell us, tell us.
And basically you could just track a skier going down the mountain and like avoiding trees and stuff and he went so fast.
And I loved that.
Yeah, that was it.
Oh my God.
That's not the graphics that I imagined.
Yeah.
Not the graphics from my day.
It felt mind blowing at the time.
But this is, guys, this is in the 70s.
Like, please.
It was exciting for the time
I remember playing one
I remember playing a noddy game
on a PC
and I remember a sleeping beauty game
on a PC which I loved
I can't remember anything about it
other than that I loved it
Do you remember when I talked about
a PlayStation game on the podcast?
Yeah
And all I had to give was
all I couldn't remember the name of it
and all I had was he moved
it was an alien that moved slowly
and made really like haunting sounds
so many people were like
it's Aves Odyssey
Your people are here.
I found it straight away.
I was so happy.
I did play PS4 Nightlife.
PS, no, not Nightlife, Nightfire.
James Bond.
Oh my God.
It was like we'd play it as a family,
although family are five and there were only four players.
Yeah.
It was that kind of set the precedent for like the competitiveness in my family.
It's like you could literally just be left out of this.
We could do this all day and you'll just be sitting in the kitchen by yourself if you didn't get to the remote in time.
That's sad.
Although, speaking of sad and the games, I think we've talked about this before, but with the Wii meme,
when it's like, you're just like upstairs on the Nintendo Wii and your parents are getting divorced downstairs.
Me and my brother and sister send that to each other about once a week.
And then you step on the scales, it's like, you're obese.
It got progressively more traumatising, like from noddy and your skiing game to a little bit of woohoo to you're obese.
Mind sweep, though. Best of them all.
I never understood it. I still, I'll play MindSweep, and I don't understand.
the game. Like three, two, one bomb. I'm just pressing buttons waiting to die.
So then you're not playing the game. Well, obviously I'm not playing the game. I don't
understand the game. Okay. You would understand the game. It's quite simple. Well, yeah,
because it's three. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. I do. You do. If it says
three, there's three bombs immediately around. I thought it was just one bomb. Well, if it says
three, then there's three. Three bombs? That we'd never get any game done. Sorry.
Three non-bombs.
Three non-bom, exactly.
So now we're all confused.
Is it three bombs?
Is it three non-bombs?
I thought you knew how to play.
Well, I was so.
Still waiting on those IQ tests, by the way.
The minute we have some spare time, we're going to find out how's stupid we are.
Okay.
Have you got anything good, bad or awkward?
I think I'm becoming a heat influencer.
Okay.
I think I'm pivoting.
Yep.
You're not a heat influencer.
You're the opposite.
You're like a conspiracy theorist.
You're like one of these, you're like one of the, like, the rain.
Rage bait bots.
Rage bait bots.
Yeah, rage bait bot.
I made up the term.
Well, or engagement bait.
No, what's it called?
You're not de-influencing because you can't influence the sun.
So you're reacting.
You're a reactive.
So yeah, I'd say rage bait.
I think a heat wave influencer.
I like that.
But you're the opposite of a heat wave.
You're cold.
Okay, fine.
Anti-heatwave influencer.
What are you influencing?
A heat wave content creator.
fine yes okay we don't have to go look semantics aside um i just i feel like i'm taking off in
this space talk through it because there's no one else in this space let's hear the strategy i own
the space um you are the space i wrote an article for stylist about my struggle with the heat
okay it feels like a big proud moment that does feel big yeah yeah anything else in the pipeline
the picture no that's it for now but i do i do see i do see i do see a
the thing's coming my way.
Uh-huh.
And I'm just putting it out there right now.
Let's explore this space.
We've got fans.
We've got sun cream.
We've got fans.
Oh my God.
How is no one sponsoring me with a fan?
Mm-hmm.
We've got air conditioning units.
I use a lot of different fans.
Yeah.
Air conditioning units.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's...
Ice cream.
Ice cream.
Ice slushies.
There's those beds now that are cooling beds.
I've got the opposite.
I've got a heating bed.
I've got an infrared blanket bed, which I got in the other day and even I concede.
It was foolish.
It was 50 degrees in there.
the bed. It was 35 degrees outside the bed and I thought all round, bit hot. Bit hot.
That is just fine. I slid out of it. I literally like, shh, much like a slip and slide.
That's trauma. Yeah, that's my good. I don't know. I just thought I'd let you guys know
before I go global. Remember us. I remember us when you get to the sum. I like that for you.
I think, yeah, no, important to like sort of commodify. Are the right word? I don't know what commodifying
Yeah. And diversifying.
Diversity is not on it. It's not, you know, it's smart.
It is. Yeah. I use probably a word a day that I'm not entirely sure the meaning of.
I used ubiquitous last weekend. I'm not sure what it means. I bet you do. What do you think?
Well, I used it and I thought, I used it with my brother, which is always a good safe space because he hasn't got a clue.
And he didn't correct me, but he did pause. I said, I think our feelings are ubiquitous.
No, I don't, I don't know, I don't know, I don't, I don't, I think that might not be the right
he did pause for a while and then I thought, I'll just try again.
I think our feelings are aligned.
So I'm not sure I used it right.
It means everywhere.
Hmm.
No, yeah, missed that.
But, solid A plus for trying.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Gold star.
Well, I do think God loves a tryer and you've got to, you know, you've got to, you've got to, you've got a dream sometimes.
Yeah, I like that because I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,
always too scared to use words in case I haven't got them in the right context.
You do need a safe space.
You know what I mean?
Like if I use that word in front of you and I got it wrong, I'd know about it.
If I use that word in front of my sister and I got it wrong, I'd know about it for the
rest of my life.
I wouldn't correct you.
I wouldn't.
You definitely would.
Or else you'd go home and you tell all your friends and your sisters.
It's only when you've got funny spelling, then I laugh.
Oh, I said, I wrote vinyl on my Instagram stories and it's, and I knew it as I did it.
I just know it?
Oh, I don't know.
but it wasn't right. And I knew it and I looked at it and I was like, I can't. It's not right. It's not
even close to right. Phone hasn't got a clue. I'm just going to put it up and everyone can work
it out. And when I opened it, it was just asterix. My DMs are just like a million
asterisks. I was like, oh, thank you and piss off. I do take issue with people
with people correcting online though because I just think, I don't know. I would never
correct someone. Where are you out on the their, their school of thought though?
Believe people be. Even when they're being trollops.
And there is something incredibly satisfying.
about someone being an absolute like twat and you can just go there
asterix there yeah but then I don't know I don't know I did I did used to do that
and I did take great pleasure in it but not anymore because I feel like and they go
low we go lower well yeah yeah yeah if someone's being mean to you fuck it yeah what
are they say it's like they're spelling their grammar yeah it's like fighting I don't know
Well, it's the expression.
I love it.
It's like arguing with someone online is like fighting with a pig.
Like taking a knife to a gun, taking a gun to a knife.
No, no, no.
It's something about wrestling a pig.
It's like wrestling a pig.
Because at the end of the day, you're just filthy and the pig enjoyed it.
That's it.
You're covered in mud and the pig enjoyed it.
Arguing with someone online is like wrestling a pig.
I love that.
At the end of the day, you're covered in my mouth.
and the pig enjoyed it.

Brought to you by Simprove, the UK's number one gut supplement.
So I've been going quite viral recently.
I just, I've just, my virality is just, if I use that word, right?
Yep.
Great.
Yep.
Fine.
It sounds like a sperm term that, my virality, do you know what I mean?
Virility.
Verility, yeah, it sounds like something to do with, with spunk.
Anyway, my virality, virality, I'm not going to use it.
Yes, I am.
Yes, you are.
My virality is, it's kind of, it's been, I don't know, there's just, there's just,
There's been noise, right?
Yeah.
And for a little while, it's like, I'm going to fight back.
I'm going to get feisty.
And then I thought, I'm not.
And it's really nice because you can write the little thing and you're angry and then
you just don't send it.
And then you just know that that person's got all hot and bothered and they've all got
crossed and they've just been ignored.
Because that's the saddest reaction of all for them, isn't it?
Isn't it?
It doesn't even be acknowledged?
Yeah, someone did it on one of my videos and it was like, she deserved it button.
Like when I had that like street harassment thing
and someone did that thing where you know they're like
she deserved it button and then they did like dash dash dash dash dash dash arrow
and no one had liked it.
I'm like oh no I'm so embarrassed for you
because you've done all those little dash dash dash dash dash down
you really thought you'd done something and then get out of not one.
Not one.
Oh how embarrassing.
I know really embarrassing.
Coming out of the button that no one presses I'd be mortified.
That is so embarrassing.
Because everyone loves pressing a button.
And it's probably too difficult to go back in if a post gone viral.
You won't find your post.
You won't find your comment.
So it's just existing there.
You can't delete it.
No, just tragic.
On the rage bait bot thing, what I said earlier,
apparently that's a thing.
Someone told me yesterday that like that's a big part of like meta or TikTok or
whatever are doing that to create engagement.
They are like just people with no accounts or whatever are just putting hate comments
just for the sake of creating noise and engagement.
which I mean
Are they relevant to the video?
I guess so
because someone was saying it
in response I did a video
about Lola Young
and all the comments
underneath her
about her body
and someone was saying
it might just be a case
that a lot of these are bots
if that's the case
that's so problematic
because they are misogynistic
they know what's going to create
noise
if that is the case
it's even worse
yeah I agree
because then it's like systemic
and it's programmed
and it's cultural
that's really scary
how would that work
though. How can a bot know, how can the bot like get the context of the video and then respond
accordingly? They can do anything. Is it AI? Yeah, yeah. I mean, these bots can do, we are on a precipice
and I am about to be left behind. I have no doubt about it. No, we are. We are. I mean, we talked about
this last week, didn't we about AI. I don't even know. I don't know what we're doing here. How everyone's
content is AI is AI now. Oh God, yeah. Yeah, the long dash. Can literally tell and it's horrible.
It's why. It's a really interesting time.
what I'm consuming if it's real or not.
No, I don't.
But it's, it is, and I keep getting adverts from companies that are like, oh, you know,
teenagers are using I to manage 90% of their lives.
If, if that's not you, you're going to get left behind.
I mean, you're going to be left behind.
You're not a teenager.
They've left you long behind.
Why do they're telling that to you?
They need to reprogram.
I got a, I got a brief for an ad campaign the other day.
and it was like, take yourself back to 10 years ago, the teenage year,
and I was like, you're going to have to go 20 years.
20 will work, but yeah, no, I can't.
That's showing a glaring lack of diversity in our industry.
I got a letter through the letterbox, which bizarrely I opened,
for an old people's home.
Oh.
I know.
Oh.
I know.
I thought wrong house.
Maybe the person that lived there before you was older.
No, they weren't.
But then I thought, I could.
I could.
I could get on board with the not people's same for me.
I've been thinking about it, Liz.
I know they're expensive, but you've got carers.
Yeah.
So that's a big chunk of your life managed for you.
You've got food.
Yeah.
People come and visit you a lot if you're nice or you don't.
But then there's other people, there's like minded people around.
There's always someone to play cards with.
It's a lovely, it can be a lovely community.
I know a lot of them aren't, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I do feel like I've got some time to look around.
A hundred percent.
I lived next to a
You do.
Did.
Yeah, yeah, you did.
Because I famously fell into the care home.
But I got really friendly with two of the people, a couple.
So they were a couple and they had their own like little apartment within the care home.
Gorgeous.
And they loved it there.
Gorgeous.
They'd lived there for 10 years and they didn't have a bad word to say about it.
And they had a great community.
I know there are bad ones.
My auntie was a bad one.
No, there are.
But as a lifestyle.
And I think...
It's something I could get on board with.
If you've got conditions like, well, yeah, I guess...
And we're not talking about this, like, for like old people who are forced to go into them.
We're talking about 30-year-old me who would just like someone to do my laundry.
You just want a bit of rest by it.
Bring me a meal on a wheel.
Yeah.
That would be nice.
That would be nice.
Imagine if someone just shut up at your front door with anything from the trolley days, we'll have the lot.
When I used to work in the warehouse.
I mean, that is just a living room, to be honest.
I'm thinking about it.
I'm like, no.
It's way better.
I used to work in the warehouse and then I would get a snack and then lunch and it was someone come around with their little trolley and like all the
sandwiches were all homemade and like wrapped in cling film and it was so exciting right we need to talk snacks I feel like I'm on a safe space I'm not vegan anymore guys as you know I've been eating dairy yeah my world blasted wide open well yeah no one told me about those little kind of bars I've gone mad for them I ordered like
36 bars of them on Amazon
during the heat wave
shouldn't have done that
because they were melted, reset
I'm meeting them now
they taste very funny
they taste like the package
no they are in the
we're kind of gone beyond that
I'm eating them anyway
because they're still nice on balance
I'm gonna
I'm gonna need you to level up
from the Kinder bars
to the Kinder Hippos
no
hazelnut right
I don't care for hazelnut
either white or milk
I'll try one
I'll tell you what
we'll get one on the way
We'll get one because we're going out for lunch.
I'll get one on the way.
I feel like, and I would like suggestions because I realized the other night,
and I said, do you want anything from the shop?
For my whole, for the last 10 years, if he says, do you want anything from the shop,
I'm getting a no-mo bar.
I'm getting a seasonal no-mo bar.
I'm either getting a bunny or a reindeer, no-mo bar, and that's what I'm getting.
He said, do you want anything from the shop?
I thought, oh my God, I haven't had a minstrel in a decade.
I'll try a minstrel.
So I had a minstrel.
So, whoa, that was good.
And now I'm like, I saw Bourneville the other day.
I was like, oh my God, I got some bored.
I didn't have it, but I could have done.
I feel like, Bourneville, really?
Is that way?
Well, I don't know, Al.
I need to try it all.
I've got, like, I had cream cheese.
The world of dairy has just opened up to me.
I know, let's have some Bourneville.
Well, have you got to try these things.
Famously the least popular of all the chocolates in all the world.
Is it?
Yes.
I used to love a Bourneville.
I like the packaging.
I just, I like a Bourneville.
I'm going to try it.
But I just feel like I've got, I'm overwhelmed.
by choice.
Oh, okay.
Galaxy cookie crumble.
Never have, never tried it.
Oh my God.
Is it really good?
Elite.
It's like the best, best of the best.
Right.
You need, oh, you don't like hazel, never mind.
Silly.
No, like I don't like Nutella.
Although they've just been a vegan one, I believe.
I don't care for Nutella.
Then, then no.
No.
I'm actually more of a savory person, but I'm more excited by these options.
Do you like cheese?
I don't know.
I've just not had it.
Oh my God, cheese is so good.
All the cheese.
Well, I tried a bit bit in.
I thought the texture was a bit odd.
But it was nice.
It was fine.
It's just really weird.
Like, I just don't, I haven't, this has been like 10 years.
Next time you have pasta, any kind of pasta, sprinkle, mature cheddar cheese on top.
Yeah, I guess I could.
I just have it been.
You can put cheddar cheese on anything.
It's so weird going to a restaurant now and I'm like, oh yeah, like I've got, like, way more of the menus, like an option.
But I'm a creature of habit, so I just go back to what I know.
Like, I still keep ordering the vegan stuff.
And on balance, like, I am.
It's like I am generally quite happy with that, but I am also, you know, I'm existing in, I'm existing in two places right now.
I'm like, there are exciting possibilities for me. Yeah. That's cool. Like I feel like I want, like, I've never had a four cheese pizza. That sounds like a lot of cheese. I feel like I'd like to try that. I want to know what all those different cheeses are about. Oh my God. So good. Is it? It's so good. I mean, I love cheese more than anything in the world.
More than anything. Yeah. More than anything. More than anything. More than your husband. Yes. Cancel her.
Oh, Brie, you need to try Brie.
I've never had Brie.
You need to try.
Or two, what, I want to try a cheese fondue.
Yeah, that is nice.
I like the idea of it.
Ruclet.
I don't know what a roulette is, but I like the idea of a cheese fondue.
What did you say the first time, Bree?
What do you have a Bree?
What do you have a...
You could have it.
What's a Camembert?
Is that like a donkey situation?
I don't know if it's, this is right, but I see it as like a stinkier brie.
Right.
But yeah, typically they'll like bake them and then you dunk.
that sounds delicious
I don't even know what it tastes like
and I'm liking the
I'm liking the dunger my tummy's actually rumbling
yeah mine is too keep going
this is exciting me
that's so good
do you like Boo Stilton
I don't know
that's not a gateway cheese
no I feel like I need to
I'm going to start with like
entry level cheese
I'll start with a packet of like
cathedral cheddar
and start with the baby bell
yeah all I have baby bells
nothing appealing about baby bell
to me
as I unwrap them
I'm like I take great satisfaction
unwrapping it
and now Allo wants to do it herself.
I'm like, why?
No.
The packaging is elite.
I love the packaging.
But you keep eating it.
I'm like, enough.
We're trying to work out our system there.
It's so perfectly moulded around the cheese.
It's incredible.
And it's so satisfying when you like, z-z.
Oh, yeah.
Unzipping.
Lovely, yeah.
Start with the baby well.
Yeah, start with that.
Well, you just chow on it.
Don't start just by eating chunks of cheddar.
Put cheddar on your pasta.
Okay.
Like cheese sauce?
No.
Just cheese on.
just sprinkle on top.
It's going to be weird.
Oh, it's beautiful.
It's just, I don't know.
It's just, it's a weird time for me.
I'm enjoying it though.
Like, it's quite exciting.
It's really nice being able to share food with Arlo as well.
Although she tried to give me a bit of ham the other day.
And I was like, does.
Does she eat me?
She does.
So I let her eat meat.
I let her, but I feed, I don't cook it at home because me and Alex don't eat it.
Okay.
So I'm like, it's wasteful.
I don't think it's safe because I don't know, like, I wouldn't be able to check.
So, like, I just don't cook it at home.
but then like I just don't want her
when she's in an environment with other children
I don't want it being like she's othered
when she doesn't know why
I suspect she will probably choose not to eat it
because we don't but at the moment
it's like if she's in an environment
where she's at a picnic or whatever
I don't want her having to not have something
that she doesn't understand why she's not having it
yeah and also she can decide in her own time
aren't she what she wants to do
but I've told you about the incident
with the last incident we had with a ham sandwich
oh we were flying home from Dublin
and we've got this thing where everybody I know
who hangs out with Arlo.
Oh, I got her ham sandwich.
She has a ham sandwich.
My mom said, oh, give her a ham sandwich.
I love the hand sandwich.
I'm like, right.
If I ever get her a sandwich,
she's like, absolutely you can shove that up your ass.
So we have this, like, big point of contention with sandwiches,
but I was absolutely desperate.
We were coming back from Dublin, and it was like the middle of the night.
Our flight was delayed, getting back.
Now, I'm still married to him.
I love him very much.
But he completely dropped the ball.
So we dropped off our car at the, like, the airport parking thing.
And we were running really late.
It was a last minute flight.
So we did the meet and greet parking thing.
We left the car at the meet and greet.
We got back to the meet and greet.
We rung them.
We said we're landing and they were like, cool.
Yeah, we'll bring the car to the whatever.
Bear in mind, Arlo had been sick in the car,
just before we got out of it.
And I'd left it all in the car seat to deal with when we got back.
It was just when Arles Anthony was brand new.
Anyway, so I was already dreading getting into the car.
We get to the terminal.
We get to the car park.
And the guy goes, your car's in terminal two.
You're in Terminal 5.
I was like, oh, no.
It's a 14 minute walk.
I was like, well, obviously not.
I've got like a seven-week-old baby and a two-year-old, like, one-year-old as it was.
I was like, computer says, no, can't do that.
So then we had to get the car like over and it took like an hour and it was, it was a bad, a bad night.
Anyway, I was like, right, I'll literally go and starve to death.
I'm going to have to get her a sandwich.
So I bore a ham sandwich.
Yeah.
She's like, disgusting. She pulls it apart.
Gets this piece of ham, throws it, and it lands on the man next to me's shoe.
Oh, no.
Just this slice of ham.
And he didn't even flinch.
He just looked down and I was like, oh, my God.
I had Zampton the carrier and I just had to go and peel this piece of ham of this man's shiny, shiny shoe, leaving residues of butter on it.
I was mortified.
I was just, I have nowhere to go.
What did he say?
Nothing.
Oh.
He just said nothing.
Did you say sorry?
Yeah, yeah, obviously, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'll say sorry.
I'll say sorry.
I'll say sorry.
And she's like, anyway.
She's like, no, fuck off.
It was awful.
That's horrible.
I didn't eat the ham sandwich, predictively.
So I got some work to do that.
I can't remember how we got on to that.
But yeah, she tried to feed me a piece of ham.
And I had to say no, and then it's a whole thing.
Oh, yeah.
Did she say why?
No, it's really hard because I don't want to give a weirdness about food at all.
I don't want to do any restricting.
Yeah, that's really difficult.
I'm trying to teach her to try everything and eat everything.
So when I'm then saying, no, it's really confusing.
Could you just say, oh, no, I don't like that.
But I don't want to teach that because when she says she doesn't.
like something. I'm trying to teach her to try it anyway. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I get you,
but if Tommy are offered me a tomato, yuck, I'd slap it out of his hands. Yeah, because what are you going
to say? Oh, no, I just don't feel like that right now. Yeah, I said, oh, not for mommy. Mommy's
going to eat your cucumber instead, and then I'm going to gobble, gobble, gobble, and I ate
my cucumber. And I cry, you dodged the bullet. But I'm on my toes. Yeah, because she's only
going to get more questiony. Yeah, more cognizant of it. Yeah. Which is fine. And if, you know,
when the time comes, I will say to her.
I don't like eating animals.
So, Mommy just doesn't eat animals.
That's okay.
If you like the taste, you can do that.
And if you don't, you know, whatever.
I know loads of vegetarian kids who love chicken.
So maybe I'll have one of those.
We do cook a fish at home.
Alex eats a lot of fish.
So, you know, I'm trying my luck with some fish.
I'm dabbling.
I'm working out my feelings.
But yeah, so I'm going to, yeah.
So basically we do cook.
I don't know.
It's a weird one.
Having kids is weird, man.
I don't make all these choices.
So much to fucking think about.
So much to think about.
I know.
So there's actually a little mirror as well.
Like, I always put a whole lot of cream on the carpet
and she just went, never mind.
And I was like, no, for you, never mind.
No big deal for you.
Like, uh-huh.
Yeah.
It's like, well, I do mind a bit.
But how do I bring that up?
So there's just loads of cream on the carpet.
She just runs you.
I was like, can we clean that up?
And she went, yeah.
And then she just started rubbing it in.
I was like, oh no.
Super, super sweet.
Cream is literally the worst thing you can get in the carpet as well.
No, there's way worse stuff you could get in the carpet.
I'm talking shit.
Like who?
Blood.
but like smell wise you can never get the smell of cream at the carpet oh no it wasn't cream like
dairy cream it was cream like moisturiser cream oh that's fine I did think that was quite a big reaction
I was like there's way worse stuff you can get in the carpet I was thinking like I remember once
when it was little we spilled I spilled a carton of milk all the go over the car I basically like
span around the car with it and the car smelled forever forever it was disgusting forever and it was
all my fault and I don't blame me
I don't like, well, it does sound like it was your fault.
You know, it was my fault.
But I didn't need to be reminded of it every day for the next five years, you know.
Oh, no, the consequences of my actions.
Oh, I hate when that happens that you make one tiny mistake one time.
I know.
And everyone just brings out for the eternity.
Leave me be.
We've got to go.
We didn't even get on to.
We've done nothing.
We've brought you nothing.
That was rubbish.
Nothing really sorry.
Chat and shit.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Sorry.
and see you next week.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Bye.
