Hello, I'm going to delete that. I'm excited. And I'm M Clarkson. Much to catch up on. Buzzing to be in here. I know, I don't know why. It's felt like it's been years. Yeah, we did a bit.

Yeah. We did a bit pre-recording. Went about our business. Off-grid. As if. Batching. That makes it sound like we're so mysterious. I crave that.

I would love to be mysterious. Where is she? knows, as it is, everybody knows everything. Dave said to me the other day, would you love, would you like to go? Oh, look, I found this retreat and you go and it's in Thailand somewhere and you leave your phone behind and you just have seven days of silence, just pure silence and no phone. And I was like, in what world do you think we can do that? I mean, forget the fact that we have a child, so that's obviously not possible.

But you don't speak to each other? You can't speak. You can't speak for seven days. Apparently he was like, but you find yourself. He said he wanted to find himself. Clearly. That answers a lot. Clearly.

I've had some question marks around Dave for a while. That's giving me a lot of clarity. There you go. I feel like we don't, like sometimes, and I really, I want to do this. So I say this with the utmost respect for the businesses. But when people sell you like an unplugged retreat and I really want to go on one. Yeah. And I really like to look at them.

But I do think I'm like, this is this is geese at Christmas. Like selling Christmas to geese or whatever, that's too good expression is. Turkey's for Christmas? Never mind. I don't matter. I get the sentiment. Thank you. Like, we could just not use our phones at home.

Like, I don't need to pay 300 pounds at night to leave my phone in a box when I've got loads of boxes at home. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, you have a point. But you've just taken the fun out of it, I guess. A little bit. I know. Also, but... Watch me go on one of those retreats, by the way.

Like, I'm going. Yeah, 100%. I'll hate myself the whole time, but I'm going to go. What's Tom is old enough to be quiet for a while? I'm going to. I'm not going to Thailand. you will not stop me yapping for anything. Literally not a chance.

Oh, you're just going to put your phone down. Well, this is, yeah. No, there's the unplugged retreat. Actually, someone I went to school with started them and I went, I found this out. I was like, I am so proud of you. They're so cool. To tell me what they are. There's like, they're cabins and they're like in woods all over the place.

In the UK. In the UK. I think it's called unplugged. Yeah, I think it's just called unplugged. And you go and you put your phone in a box. I don't know where the box is. But you just, you, you, you, you, you. you're off grid for like the night or the weekend.

And it's like in the middle of nowhere. I mean, it's in the UK, so it's not like the middle of nowhere. You're not going to find a bear. You know, it's probably like, you're probably like two or three miles from a Texaco garage. But like you're in the middle of nowhere theoretically. Texaco. Yeah, like a BP. It's like a garage, isn't it?

Texaco. I can't imagine you pay attention to the name of garages particularly. Shell. Find Shell. Well, I'm thinking Texaco's a more local. I'm thinking, you know, like a small. little garage, you know, just like a local. Oh, I've never heard of it. I wouldn't worry. Never mind. Sorry. I'm picking up on the wrong thing.

I think we're getting caught up in the weeds here. Please continue. It's just a cabin that you go to. They look stunning. It looks really locks, but then you just don't have a phone. But here's my thing. Right. Years ago, I'm talking like decades ago, that would have been, well, I mean, we just lived like that. So whatever. But when the rest of the world is dependent on phones and then suddenly you're not, that's really scary because, well, if needs to go in touch with you and they can't that's it i mean you i like the idea of this more than anything and i'm like i'm like i leave my i've left my fed you have to go to the gym and i was like well i put my phone in the locker and i was like well that's fucking your response for if someone rings

you can't you just can't do it so nice in theory i mean you take you the kids to the retreat unless i had my entire family there with me and then i could relax i think no you couldn't probably not because if you're with your entire family that would be incredibly stressful be like oh my god leave me alone all of us with no distractions oh it would be it would be so nice to have no phone though. Yeah. As too chronically online as... Oh, I can do it for that.

I mean, I... But I do it, like, I can do it very... Like, weekend just gone. Like, my birthday. I'm like, barely... Like, I don't... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I have to be very distracted to do that.

Like, I have to be, like... Yeah. The distraction has to be quite high. This has actually ended up being quite a nice segue, because there's a book called Smart Phone Nation out of the moment, which I've just got, and I'm desperate to get the author of the podcast. I believe Faye has been in touch with them. Because I saw it in the shop and I was like,

shit I need that and then I thought it's going to be too confronting but then I got it's the author she's a professor it's written by a professor of wow of humanities I know imagine being a professor of humanity hopefully she'll come on that's exciting I know I know but I do fear it will be quite confronting will it encourage us to put our phones a better do drop down phones yeah better the thing is is our entire lives are on our phones I know I actually can't think too much about it I'd rather talk about good bads and awkwards because it's been a minute okay I've got an awkward Yeah, you do. Oh, wait.

Have you got one that I don't know about because you did the, never mind. My good is what I thought you were awkward was going to be. Let's go. Give me more. No, that was my bad, not my awkward. Fine. My bad. My life flashed before my eyes was bad. It flashed before all the bars, too.

My awkward. I was at an event and I was with three people and they were talking about kids, their kids' names. And they all had like different unusual kids' names. names. And one of them said, I just love unusual kids' names. Alex, what's your son's name? And I said, Tommy. Like, I was laughed and I was like, Tommy, because obviously, not unusual. Not exciting, really at all. Not exciting. I was like, Tommy. And we kind of laughed. And she was like, oh, sorry. She's like, at least it's not like Dave. And I was like, oh, David's his middle name.

It's like, yeah, David's his middle name. And she was like, I didn't mean that. And I was like, no, it's fine. I don't take offense. That poor woman. Poor women. Two details to pick up on it. One, I hope she's resting in peace. Two, I can't believe Tommy's middle name is Dave.

David. David. I didn't know that. Because. Do you not think you've got enough Davids in your, yeah, your dad's called David? And Dave's granddad was David. who he loved very much and still, like, is very affected by his passing. So it felt like a nice sentimental thing for that.

And Tommy... Does Dave know that his name is also Dave? No, I can't know. Should I let him know? But Tommy is my granddad and David is his granddad. So it kind of... Both are granddad. Yeah, it just made sense.

It was nice and sentimental. But I did... I did find it funny. I was funny. I wasn't offended at all, but she was really worried that I was offended. And I was like, I promise I'm not offended. No, I can see why she thought you would have been offended. His name's not being different.

Oh, no. How funny. Oh, bless her. She's going to be telling this story on a different sofa. Any other name, like Graham, Stephen, Clark. I don't know anything. Clark's an unusual name. Clark's a nice name.

Is it? Yeah. Well, you're careful now because you're going to be a shit. Okay, Clive. There you go. Clive. Well, if I have a son, that's what I was going to call. I'm kidding.

That'd be such a you turn from me. I'd be like, but Arlo is that being plive. Please, I'd love that. Now, please, can we talk about your bad? It's all I wanted to talk about since it happened. I never wanted to go down the slip and slide, right? I never, ever wanted to do it. You built...

Okay, let me do that. Okay, right, so it was my birthday, and Zanty's christening. And we thought, how can we make a christening different? No, I'm kidding. It was my birthday and Azam's christening and we thought we'd do a celebration of both things at the weekend just gone

and we literally just had the most amazing weekend. So it's my birthday day before yesterday. This is coming up there. Anyway, it was my birthday on Monday. So the weekend we had the christening and the birthday. And basically, Alex said a long while ago, oh my God, we should build a slip inside it. I said it to my dad.

And I was like, okay, this is just broken arms waiting to happen. And I've been like, ha ha ha, joking about it. I was like, stop it, because I'm going to be a single mother when you go down this thing and break your neck, because this is a steep, steep hill. Anyway, they've teased it and joked about it and wanted to do it. And then when we got there, my dad, that was surprise, massive slip and slide, which was, as it turned out, not broken army. It was so fun. Like, it was amazing. Although, on Sunday morning, I was like, why does my cesarean scar hurt so much? Oh yeah. Slipping slide. That'll be it. That'll do it um it was so fun so i i i i went down i disagree well fair enough i went down it a lot of

times and i thought the first time i went down it if you go down it slowly enough if you went down on your bum there was a bit where it levels out at the bottom where you hit a puddle where the first time i went down because i was trepidacious i didn't even hit the water so i thought alex could do that you obviously al could do that and i told you like 50 times you could do that and i really didn't want to do that you really didn't want to do that and And Dave said, Hill will freeze over before Alex goes down that slip inside. And I was like, I see that as a personal challenge, Dave. I'm not letting this rest.

And you fucking ground me down. I did grind you down. And she went. But let the record show she went willingly enough. Not really. You walked yourself up the hill. I was pushed up the hill. You walked yourself up the hill.

I've got it on camera. Now, I've got, I need you to pick up the story here because I can't understand the rationale that got a from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill in the way that it was. I was given a tube. Is that what you call them? You were given a rubber ring. A rubber ring. Yeah.

It's given a rubber ring. And they've got handles on it. Yeah. And I'd seen everyone go down on their bellies, on the rubber rings, holding the handles of the rubber rings, and they fly down like that on their bellies. Yeah. But when I, so I put the rubber ring down at the top of the slip and slide, and I was like, it's time to go.

But as I was getting down onto it, I was like, oh, I don't. I think I had the handles the wrong way around. They were kind of at the back. So I was like, I can't hold on to the handles. And then I was like, but wait, what goes in the middle of the rubber ring? Is it my boobs or my stomach? I don't know. I don't understand.

And as I was figuring all this out, I slipped. And I went down and I didn't have anything to hold on to. So my hands were just out and I was flying. I was flying. You heard your hands out in front of you. To try and stop me. The whole way I was trying to stop myself. All that I was doing, just causing, the water just splash up into your face.

I couldn't stop myself. Honestly, I was, I was like, death is upon me. Fay, Faye, come, come to see. Come, come, Faye. Whatever you think you're about to see you, it's worse. I'm doing it. What am I'm telling you? I don't know.

It looked like a cold. I thought I was one, honestly. And when she stood up, there was just mud. It looked like you've been one of those clay spas. There was just mud everywhere. Like, when I eventually got into the lake, yeah. I think my face must have met the bank. When I came up and everyone was like,

you know it's bad when like rather laughing, everyone was like, are you okay? Are you okay? You were like, are you okay? You're like, are you okay? I'm so sorry, are you okay? I was like, oh, I've really fucked it now. I thought this is going to be played at a court of law any day now.

Tommy was just sobbing on the bank. He was my mom, mom, mom, mom. But the best thing about all of this was she did it again. after the first time and this time you really did go of your own volition and if anything

this one I prefer this one not least of all because she started at the very top by practising and I don't know why you didn't practice

at the bottom on the flat bit but she started practicing at the top of the hill I thought I needed to practice facing facing upwards facing backwards

I'm scared I was going to go down if I practice downwards now this is an audio masterpiece you don't need to watch this one so much as you need to hear it I went really fast this time

well at least I thought I did make it that like that like reverberated around the valleys so Tommy again

Tears. I thought I said that. I thought that was my inside voice that I said make it stop. Yeah, poor Tommy. It was just like sobbing into Dave's arms. Mama. To watch her go like this. It was, yeah, I mean, when I watched it back, I was like, God, I was barely moving.

In my head, I was like flying. I couldn't stop it. I couldn't slow down. I was like, I'm just building speed. I'm going to hit the bank again. Make it stop. And I couldn't. It was.

much fun looking back I was really proud of you not kidding not it sounds sarcastic for going back no no for doing it both times oh thank you because it's quite scary at the top of the hill it's really scary

and there were some injury sustained yeah there were within the party but I actually think there was oh yeah no no no Lucy's was really bad I was going to say that there was like it was like a direct correlation between alcohol consumption and injury sustained but that wasn't the case Lucy, she was the anomaly to that rule.

I mean, Georgie's legs were like annihilated. Battered in bruise, Niles back. Yeah, well, the boys started going down them without the hoops, and I just thought natural selection is a cruel mistress, do you know what I mean? It was amazing, though. It was so much fun. Did you have a good weekend? Oh my God, I had the best.

It was beautiful. I mean, I'm so tired. But we had, like, yeah, it was nice, actually. I talked about it online a little bit, and I want to talk more about this. But, like, I feel so strongly, and I'm so happy to see. all the girlies going down the slip inside and particularly the mums because I do think it's really important

that kids see mums having fun and all the time it's dad doing the silly thing dad doing the dangerous thing dad being the fun one and like someone sent me a message after because I put on Instagram where I said like I made a pact when the girls were born that if Alex does something stupid and silly

I have to do it too because I don't want that it's just whatever I don't want it just being him all the time being the fun one and then someone replied and said be the mum that gets your hair be the mum that gets her hair wet. Oh, I really liked that.

Oh, see, I can do that. As a risk of hers girlie, I can't completely subscribe to that vow. Yeah. It's nice, isn't it? Yeah. That's so true. Yeah, because Ollo said on my birthday, when I was swimming, she said, she said, go underwater, mommy.

And I was like, go under water, mommy. And I was like, okay. Oh, that's really nice. And it is nice. That's going to stay with me that. I like that. Yeah, I think so too. So it was an amazing weekend.

It was so fun. It was so good. Yeah, Dantthy got. baptized, got dunked. She was hell of chill about it. Ridiculous. Literally so good. Ridiculous. Stunning. So good. She was just like...

Okay. Just looking round like, hey. You guys all here for me. This mind's dunking me, not to worry. I'm all good. You all seem fine about it. I'm happy. Oh, you're so sweet. Oh, it was amazing. It was so fun.

So, yeah. Crushed it. Great weekend. I'm looking forward to being 31. How much? I thought that. Oh, gosh, 31. 31, yeah. Oh, for the briefest of moments, there's only five years between us.

Very brief. Yes, your birthday next. Yeah, it is, isn't it? I'm going to build you a big, I'm going to build your zip line. Oh, my God. I see what we could do. There's a really long one in Wales

that I would like, I would like to do. I would actually love to do a zip line. Do you want to go to Wales with me and go on a really big zip line? I would. Okay. Providing it is completely checked out health and safety wise. I'm,

I'm not authorized to make that sort of. No, but I think. But like, we can check it out. I have to say as I'm getting older, I don't think, I, I don't know if I'm just seeing more of it. I don't know if I've becoming more aware. I keep seeing fun fairs on the move.

Like, when I was little, I knew the fun fair came in September to our local town. I thought this the day, because we saw one on the motorway. Yeah, yeah, I saw one on the way. But I keep seeing them on the motorway, and I keep thinking, obviously, that's the point. But then I think,

I don't know if I should put my life in the hands or something that you can fold up. Never. And carry down the M-40 like that. I strongly believe that you should not go on fun-fair rides. Obviously, still support them. Give them money in other ways, but probably don't go on the rides.

I feel like if I could sum you all. up in a sentence it would be... I firmly believe you shouldn't go on the fun, fair rides. I do, I do, I do, I do, I do. Because of the risk? Yes, because of the fun. Yes, because of both. Is it way too much fun?

Because of the risk. Well, they do seem... And I understand, you know, like a rocket has to come in parts, but then I wouldn't go in a rocket either. But then an aeroplane, I suppose. How do you get an aeroplane between airports other than flying? Probably drive it down there. Actually, you wouldn't take a freight.

A freight train. I think you'd probably just fly it, wouldn't you? If you built a plane, you'd just fly it to where you needed it to go. You wouldn't drive it anywhere. I wonder how fast you could drive a plane if you wanted to. Like if you wanted to just like drive it just down, like if you were like, oh, I, fuck, I built it in Heathrow, but we ought to fly out of Gatwick.

Do you think it could pick up the M25? No, be too wide. Football! Okay, no, I'm like, I lost a train of thought, because it's going to say something very interesting and it's gone. Obviously it wasn't that interesting. Good. My good.

Football. Oh my God, the game. The game. We were recording this on Wednesday. So the semi-finals were last night. Last night, yes. The lionesses stormed. No, they didn't storm it. They didn't storm it.

No, no, no. They clinched it. At the very last minute. And it was very exciting. And I could barely breathe. I honestly, it was amazing. I think I did a post about it last night. But obviously, like, it was, I was talking about myself because it was the

post that gave me goosebumps. I know. Well, I made me so. emotional like Xanthi's growing like 15 teeth at once so she was occupied her and Alex was with her and we were taking it in turns doing like trying to get her down so I ended up watching the last 30 minutes in bed with her in like a statue basically trying not to react because I was trying to get her to sleep and when we got the fight the winning goal I heard my whole street cheer and it was like men's voices like and I don't know why that matters so much

to me but it was just like I just heard like yeah men cheering, and I just thought that was really cool. So cool. It was just really representative of like a shift. Like, and I know there are idiots online. And I said to Alex, I was like, I was going to make a post about them. And I was like, I actually don't want to. I want to focus on like.

Yeah. See, I have made one because it's like. Oh, good for you, because someone has to. Bull. And, okay, maybe I shouldn't read them out. Like I screenshots to them to read them out, but maybe I shouldn't. Because why should we put a negative? I keep thinking that.

I'm like, because they are saying it, and it is tragic. But I do, I think there is a place to call out both things, to be honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it is, they just, they do look so tragic. They look really stupid. Particularly now more and more men are getting on board with it. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

You know, now people are seeing this as, you know, men are treating this as what it is, which is a good sport. Like, it does make them look really stupid. I was getting quite encouraged looking at the comments about, like, just hearing them talk, like, ask for technical. Like, there is still space for fans, both men and women, to criticise the game in that, like, why have we put her up front? Why haven't we subbed her on?

We need to take her off. But yeah. But I like that. Of course. Watching that discourse, I was like, you're invested. You know the players. You know who's strong up front. You know who you want in defence.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That excites me. Exactly. We're invested in the game. Yeah. And it should, we should be looking at it, like, as critically as we do the men's in the sense of, like, in the technical. And demanding the best from it.

Yeah, yeah. Like, we want the best out of our players. We want the best out of our squad. We know what each other's strengths are. It's just cool. It's really cool. But fuck me. Like, I can't take many more of these games, honestly.

Michelle Agu, man. I know. She's 19. She's 19. She's 19. When she scored a burst into tears, I was like, that I have very chill. Unbelievable.

I also thought it was incredibly important, having seen how much horrendous racism that Jess Carter has experienced this week and how the squad have had to address it, that Michelle was the one. to give us our final. Yeah, she kept us in. She kept us in. And 19 years old, like...

I know, imagine a 19. Full goosebumps. I know. And did you see them singing in the dressing room again? No, I had a good example. He was in the dressing room. I take that back, changing room. Women's sports still has like a... That feels like a loaded...

That feels like a loaded mistake. The changing room. They were singing more and more. And it was just, I was like, oh my God, imagine the euphoria. Like, I just look, it was just, I cannot wait for something. I would like for it to not be on a knife edge for the finals. I don't know. I can't, like, watching her take that penalty last night, I was like, how can you do that?

Like, humans shouldn't be allowed to do this. It's not fair. But I have to check myself sometimes because I'm like, and I do this with the men's game as well. And I care so much more about the women's game and that's just, that's just what I have to do. Sorry. But I'm like, it's feet. and nets. It's not that deep, but like... It's so deep. It's so deep.

Oh, my God. But I feel like it's particularly here it represents so much. It does. It does. I just, I'm so excited about this because then I was going to be sad. It was over. But then we've got the rugby starting in like three weeks. I know. I know. So when I went on all I woke up this morning, it's like the first thing I told her. And we have an exciting guest. On Monday.

On Monday. On Monday. Really exciting. Yeah, in light of the rugby. Oh, I'm buzzing. What we're going to, well, next year we've got the cricket. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, there's cricket. There's cricket. I'm going to a cricket game on Sunday, this Sunday. Women's cricket on Sunday. Amazing. I know. It's exciting. My social, I am booked and busy. Like, this is how, I said that last night actually, when Alex's just like trying to get sound to see.

I was like, I feel like a dad. Like, I feel like an old school boomer dad, like sitting downstairs watching the football while my good, like, husband puts the baby down. It's like, oh my god, I feel like, we've fully inverted the world. The perfect role reversal. It was cool, though. I was texting soap throughout the game. I should have been texting you as well, but I was

breastfeeding. So she started it. She texted me. She sent me photo and she'd chew off her nail varnish. She's like, I'm on the edge of my seat. I was like, this is so cool. Like, we're, you know, like, we're... So cool. We're being like the boys.

We're bonding over sport. And like... And a woman on the street yesterday, an older woman stopped me on the street yesterday. And, well, it was quite intense, actually, because it was really early in the morning. I was just going out to the car to get my shoes. And she was like, she was like, what do you do? And I was like, oh, God, I don't want to tell you. Well, well, well, she asked me what I did before I got married.

She was like, what did you do before you got married? And I was like, oh, they still work now. And she's like, oh, wow, what do you do? And I'm like, I can't get into that with you. This is stupid. But anyway, she was like, what do you think about the state of the country? And I was like, it's literally quarter to eight on a Tuesday morning. Oh, no.

And then she was like, because I think, you know, we're on the brink of us. Yeah, I didn't have any shoes on. And I could hear that. Anyway, she was like, I think we're on the brink of a civil war. And I was like, oh, do you? Anyway, she's like, yeah, my son's divorced and he's just, he can't get a house and he's just crying. And I was like, oh, my God, okay. this is and then and then I was like I need to get you on to safe ground I was like see

you watching the football tonight she's like damn I and then gave me like and she was amazing yeah yeah we got it back it was started it was a bit of a ropey start but we we we we we she's great okay I think she might invite her over to watch the final one Sunday to be fair yeah she was only she was on our street feeding a cat she's kind of a strange woman actually thinking about it yeah I was like do you live here and she was like no I just feed a let's just I just feed the cats like on the street I was like, oh

where does she live? I don't know I'd have a cat so I didn't think it was my problem Your specific street? I didn't ask if she did it She didn't see, I don't know Okay

Did I not tell you about the fight That happened on my old street? No Oh my God Okay Now that I've moved to house I can tell you So we had a WhatsApp group

on my old street Yeah Now this was after the king's coronation Relevant detail right So we had a street party After the king was coronated Now there was a cat There were cats

and I was, you know, it's cats, whatever. Someone put a message in the WhatsApp group and said, hello, please can you stop feeding, can whoever is feeding the foxes, please stop feeding the foxes. Someone's sleeping food after the foxes. Okay. About one in the morning, this woman replies,

and she was like, no. Foxes are goddess creatures. I won't let them stuff. Like, I'm not going to stop feeding the foxes. Silence for a few hours. Then someone else chapsed up, and they're like, look, I do understand that,

but it's attracting rodents. it's attracting more foxes and my cat is diabetic oh what it's not funny thing the diabetic cat is very serious my cat is diabetic same where's your compassion

if you're worried about your diabetic cat you need to keep it in the house the woman's like well we try but you know we've got whatever two two o'clock the next morning this woman sends a photo of the diabetic cat to the group

being like if you cared about your cat you wouldn't let it be out on the street so things are heating up right oh my god someone else chirps in he's like look we're getting off topic here because we stop because we've got young kids young kids are dangerous we can't attract foxes to the street because it's dangerous for people with the young kids we've got young kids and we're worried about our young kids

the woman replies again like three in the morning with a photo of the clock by the way next to the cat Like the photo of the cat, she'd sent with a photo of her clock in her kitchen. Like, it's like quarter to three in the morning. Stop her, this is too good. And then she, and then she sent one about, so the guy said, I'm worried about the foxes with the kids. And she said, well, if you're really worried about your children,

what were you all doing during the King's Coronation? Because I witnessed that street party and you all had wine. And I'm going to call social services because you were drinking in the presence of your children. Oh my God. Oh my God. This is taking a turn. Then there was silence for a few more hours. I'm not even in this WhatsApp group. by the way, Alex is.

And I was like, let me the screen grabs. Anyway, and then we all got sub-watsats. You know, like me and my direct neighbours, but like, are you guys seeing this? We're all coming out on the street to talk about it. Oh, my God. A few more hours pass. And then the original guy kicks the fuck off.

I actually can't remember how it ended. But that was... I hope he did. Yeah, he did. I hope he did. Well, it was a what, I mean, it was a bit of a stretch because, you know... You can't get social services involved in a street party. It was absolutely coconuts.

Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. I could give you an incriminating detail about this lady, which might identify her, so I'm not going to. But she had a dog that scared me, so I stayed dutifully very quiet. Whenever I saw her in public, I gave her a big enthusiastic wave and offered to feed the foxes with her. No, I'm kidding. Wow.

Yeah. Oh, my God. I mean, I get, and you want to look after the foxes. It's a very... I was kind of with her on that, but also you can't... She had me, she pulled... like she crossed a few, she stepped on some toes

with a diabetic cat, shame, parent, pain, pain, shaming. Yeah, that was a lot. It was a lot. It was a bit much. And then social services

got involved. Well, they didn't, but she threatened it. She's like, I've got a friend that works with social services and I'm going to call them. Oof!

I know. I know. Drama. I would lose my head if someone said that to me. Would you? Yes. Would you?

About social services? Calling social services on me. But you haven't done anything wrong? Would you? Oh, you've got guilty conscience. It just scares me so much. I've got this irrational fear of that. I don't know.

I'd be like, yeah, feed the foxes. I think it's because it's happened in our industry. Yeah. People have called social services on influencers. Yeah. And I was just like, oh my God, it would just, I would lose my mind. I'd actually lose my mind. Yeah.

I wouldn't literally lose my mind. I wouldn't do anything bad with her to her. But I would like, I would, like, I would, I would let rip on WhatsApp. Yes. Yeah. Oh, I'd like to see you letting rip on a WhatsApp group. I would you swear. would you which one down probably the F word you what you fucking what yeah whoa I'm excited

anyone else want to piss we've got some WhatsApp groups guys anyone want to I might even stretch the C word what no probably no probably well then you will get social services around but you have other services around your police services anti-social services you'll have you ever do so sectioning services before we wrap up before we wrap up we need to talk about something that we're doing in September. Our live show. Our live show. Beginning of September, no less.

I know. In Edinburgh. It's creeping up. Yeah, it's probably only like six weeks away. Ah! No, it is. It will be six weeks away. Make it stop.

Slow down time. Guys, are you coming? Well, we did a... Sorry, a pause while you answer that. Guys, are you coming? As I was. We did a post... While we were on our accidental hiatus,

about we basically... We were just going to make this kind of like one of our original like we did on the tour shows and make it basically elusive and chill and we've decided in light of the conversations we keep finding ourselves having on here that we wanted to focus this we've we love doing the body image series

and I know we keep threatening future series on here which we will when we've got some time do but I feel like since we did or we feel that since the body image series came out so much has changed and the landscape has changed so much and we wanted to do more And we really feel strongly that we want you guys together. We want an opportunity for this to be an in real life situation.

Because I think so many people are really craving connection and craving this conversation. And it's becoming increasingly difficult to have in our real lives, in our social circles. And we want to, you know, we know we always say with the live shows that we want this as an opportunity for you to make friends. But I think now more than ever, we want you guys to see it. other and to realise that you're not alone with how you're feeling here and we thought this would be a really good opportunity to do that because it can be so tricky in friendship groups especially now with so many people taking ozempic it can be so hard to not find yourself like feel yourself triggered or upset or like thinking about your body and your size when you're around friends

who are in that mindset so I think the idea that everyone coming is like-minded and really wants to be involved in this space I just feel like it would be a cool way to meet friends And this allows us to like make, it allows us to facilitate interactivity within this conversation because often it's kind of hard to do that online. We're kind of talking to people but we're not really able to have the, to fully interact and have the conversation. So we want it to be interactive. We want you guys to have your voice and to speak and to yeah, have this discussion, have this discourse about something that's affecting all of us a lot right now. Rather than it being a traditional show in the sense and how we've done them in the past,

we want this to be in conversation with. We want this to be two-sided. We also really don't want it to be a case of, well, this is for people who aren't on GLP ones. And like, you're going to come and find your people who aren't giving into that. That is not what this is. You are more than welcome wherever you're at, whatever you're choosing to do. This is, we ideally hope for is a conversation without defensiveness. Because I think that's a really big barrier for so many of us.

feeling that we're able to vocalize how we're feeling within our friendship cycles is we are scared of upsetting each other or triggering each other or our friends getting defensive or taking things personally. We want this to be a completely judgment-free conversation. And I think within that, it's really important that people feel safe. Yeah. To come if they are on GLP-1s. Well, I think it would be really cool if people who came who were on GLP-1s would be up and comfortable for talking about it. Yeah. Because I think that's a really important conversation to have within all of this. Yeah.

So if they were up for, you know, in a genuinely safe positive space. Yeah. Without judgment. Yeah. I mean, we will still, we promise to bring as much fun as we can within it. Yeah.

You know, we wanted to have some elements of the live shows that you guys have come to in the past and that we are really proud and really love putting on. But we do want it to be a conversation much more than a show. And we would really,

really love for you to be a part of it. We're trying to find ways of making it as intimate as possible. with that in mind and making it as safe as possible with that in mind for this conversation to happen. We're writing it at the moment and we'd love to hear from you guys if you're coming so that we can integrate your thoughts into the show but there will be opportunities for questions on the night and we'd like them pre sent in as well but we can give you more information as we get closer to the time. But overwhelmingly we are really looking forward

to it. Yeah, so looking forward to it. If you'd like to come, we've got links to it. I mean, you can Google it but we've got links to it in the podcast social. podcast Instagram we'll put it in the show notes we've got links to it in our Instagram bios as well so easy enough to find please come yeah we I'm really really really looking forward to it and I hope to see as many of you there as possible we will try to make it um shareable so that those of you who can't make it can hear parts of it but realistically I think by the nature of what we're trying to create it's going to be a mostly offline episode I think so I mean a few people did ask can we live stream it but my feeling is

that we want it safe oh yeah we want it safe we want it to be something that's like quite sacred yeah and like on the night just does intimate i don't know it just feels yeah and if we can make it work and if it goes as well as we hope we'll try and do more like this in the future but this is something that we feel is very important at the moment so okay we hope to see you there yes all right guys we will see you on monday with a very exciting guest all right guys love you see on monday bye should i delete that is part of the acast creator network Thank you.
