Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, and Michael Batchel Delete that. I'm Alex Light. I'm M. Clarkson. How are we? Fine. Nearly cried on the way in. Love that. I love that.
Starting point is 00:00:16 I actually did cry on the way in. And I think Faye probably did too. Yeah. So it's like good vibes all around in the studio. We've got Dex bringing us up. He's happy. Carrying us by a string. from three different directions
Starting point is 00:00:29 we travelled into London this morning bonded by our tears a river like three little streams like draining what is it called flowing there we go our tears flowed into the studio it's so poetic
Starting point is 00:00:47 gorgeous but I did say to Fay we'll wenge your period you because it's probably that and it turns out it is probably that but we don't have that excuse because you're breastfeeding you don't have a period
Starting point is 00:00:56 I just don't have a period. So what's our excuse? I want that excuse so badly. I wish I could be like, oh, it's going to, because I, look, okay, I lean into the full moon, which happens once a month. If I also had a period to lean into, that would write me off. That gives me a solid excuse, two weeks of the month, which means I only need to be on form for the remaining two.
Starting point is 00:01:17 But within that, I can accept that Mercury is going to be in retrograde four times within the year. I'm showing up three, four days a month. I'm sure you could dig deeper in. to astrology there and come up with some other stuff too yeah like the moon's not shining on you to a certain point in the in the in the in the in the month i'm really sorry guys i can't smile today the moon is not shine right i'm not basking in its glow in the way that i'd like it's right on beyond that just give me i would like yeah i i've got no excuse because i don't believe in astrology so i've not got that i what was the other one no period oh my god i never have a
Starting point is 00:01:55 period excuse. No. Oh my god, it's just hit me that. I might never have a period ever again. Are you okay about that? I don't know. That's just hit me out of nowhere. Oh, I feel funny. You may do. You may not. You know, I probably will, but I just, I just never know when it's coming. I mean, I don't have like the monthly excuse. Yeah. That's an unexpected morning. It's like, it's like, it's like, Stockholm syndrome. It's like morning your killer or missing your kidnapper. Yeah. Well, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, like, really pick me. but I never really minded my period it was always a nice reminder to me
Starting point is 00:02:30 that my body was working like I don't know I never felt like I always feel like my body's in actual turmoil and I'm like I just don't believe that anything's happening inside as it should be You're so much better than us I am just so much better
Starting point is 00:02:42 than everyone I am not like other girls No no it's not like it like No I actually do get I respect that I'm just being I liked it when it came because I was like oh my god
Starting point is 00:02:52 my body actually works in the way it's supposed to I know there are other markers, the other signs that it works, apart from that. But I just, I just always felt like it was really cool. Have there been other irregularities with your cycle all your life? Well, it always came every three weeks rather than four. You are not like other girls. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Thank you so much. I also don't like Taylor Swift. So I am really different. Yeah, well, don't we know it? Yeah, every 21 days it came. You know what, actually, sorry, I will get back to your period, but I actually think you can't say you don't like Taylor Swift anymore. I think we are on two sides of a culture war.
Starting point is 00:03:30 No, I mean on music, sorry. Because have you seen Donald Trump tweeting about Taylor Swift this week? No. He tweeted, because the man is a clinical lunatic, and I don't care if I'm not supposed to use that word, because I'll stand by it. It's my diagnostic definition. He tweeted that since he said Taylor Swift wasn't good,
Starting point is 00:03:50 she's not hot anymore, paraphrasing. Stop it. So I actually feel like it's incredibly problematic to say you don't like Taylor Swift because next you'll be saying, but I don't mind Donald Trump. Well, to be clear, I was doing it as a joke, but, okay, well, now I feel awkward, okay? I didn't know about the tweets. I take it back. I love Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I like her. Yeah, that's fine. I like her. Yeah, yeah. And we respect to us and artists. You know, it's like, it's a thing, isn't it? People like, I just don't like to help me. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I'm with you. I just, I felt, you just. Yeah, yeah, no, I felt like I had to pick you up on this because we're living in crazy times. Oh my God, he really did read that. What's wrong with it? Can you quote it
Starting point is 00:04:27 for real? Because I paraphrased. Has anyone noticed that since I said I hate Taylor Swift in capital letters? She's no longer hot in inverted commas.
Starting point is 00:04:39 That's not hard. How funny. Donald Trump, are you all right? Like, are you all right? You've caused a catastrophic trade war. Like, you basically put war against all women.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You've got Ukraine. You've got China. But by all means, go off about. I mean, I'd say that's some of his most important work to date, actually. What, denouncing her? Yeah. Well, yeah, you know what? He's got to get your demographic somehow.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I hope you puts that on a CV because it deserves to be there. He spoke to you, finally, a man of the people. Someone Alex Light can relate to. My hero. So you've always been different. Yeah, I've always, I've always been different. Yeah. You speak French.
Starting point is 00:05:21 You're a league above. I speak French. I don't know my francofe. Can you tell us in French that you're not like other girls? No, no, no. Because I've, we've hyped this up so much about me speaking French. And the reality is I haven't spoken French for a very long time. And it's appalling.
Starting point is 00:05:38 My French is appalling at this point. So I'm not putting myself up for that. No. The good news is... You can beg and beg, but no. I will. But I don't know. I can't speak French.
Starting point is 00:05:47 So whatever you say will impress me. I know that's tempting to you. I know you want to impress me. I can see it. I saw your eyes glimped at the opportunity to impress me. We'll circle back to. No, it is so, it is so bad. I am extremely shy about speaking French. Even like, I won't do it in front of Dave. I promise you, I am. You won't do it in front of Dave. Do you poo in front of Dave? No. Okay, no, that's good. I just wanted to see where we were at on that. No, but he poos in front of me. Oh, I wish he wouldn't. So do I, honestly. So do I. I see it. He just leaves a dot. He wants to chat.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I'm like, it's nice that he wants to chat. I can't imagine, Dave. I'm wanting a chat. I know. He's a different man at home. That's nice. Good Bad and Awquids. Yes. Good.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I ran a 10K. Well done. Faye, did you watch it on Strava? It was really good. So what happened to Strava? Is it like a live stream that you can watch? No, but I liked it. Do you wear a little GoPro for everyone?
Starting point is 00:06:48 That would be cute. Did you see it on Strava though? I saw it and it was very impressive. Thank you so much. What did you run it in? Faye's a really quick runner. Is she? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I saw your Strava. I was like, what's that girl? She was flying. Oh my God. I know. It's so fun. You think you know someone
Starting point is 00:07:02 and then you see their Strava. Are you seeing her in a whole new light now? 100%. My respect is intensified. She's flying around the park regularly. Yeah. Yeah. I love to see it.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Right back at you. You're running my old roots and I'm like in another life. Oh, so you can see roots as well on there. That's creepy. You can see your. You can see your. friends, I hide mine, like, because, I don't know, I just, but you can hide, like, if you just got your friends, when I had, like, my friends, when I had like 12 friends that
Starting point is 00:07:32 exercised, which was my straw, um, I would leave it. But then I accept, like, because then we had the hags one and I need to, I, I, I keep meaning to accept everyone that requests, but I want mine to be like public. Because it's fun, I like the community element. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then so I just hide my map. Maybe I'll join. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you going to do? do. I don't know. Can I walk on it?
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yes, but you have to like log your walks. Can I jog and walk? I don't imagine at this point I'll be able to jog for very long but that's fine. Fun to try. Yeah, yeah, it would be so,
Starting point is 00:08:06 I would love it if you went for a jog. I, the only thing that tempts me is what you say about the mental health benefits of it. Which are plentiful. And Faye's nodding, so you obviously feel them too. Do you? We should have run here instead of crying on the train here.
Starting point is 00:08:21 We should have. That's what I've taken away from. all be in such best estates, wouldn't we? We'd all run here. So it does tempt me, but... You could do it. You don't need Strava to run, though. You'd have to reach a certain threshold for you to actually, like, do it, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:08:36 No, not really for me. I had one look at a panoschocula after a gale's window this morning, and I was like, sold. Never leave a panoschukler behind. Quite right. Especially not a gale's on. Temptation for me. No, I am always on the precipice of temptation.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I am the most easily tempted person, I think I know. And you could tempt me into pretty much anything, literally anything. Tent me, go on, I'll do it. Yeah, I actually think we're both quite bad, like, both quite easily influenced. Incredibly easily influenced. Anyone who comes through these studio doors, I'm like, I need your trousers, I like your rearing.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Take them off. What lipstick colour is that? Before they've left, they're like added to cart. I have no. I thought you were saying out of cart. I was like, damn it, French. I have no, yeah, my temptation threshold, if that's such a thing, is it's underground.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I trip over it regularly. Quite. Okay, well, running. Well, I'll keep you updated. I would, well, I'll add your trailer. Don't like be on the edge of your sea. Don't ask me, I'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Okay. Like the American military. Don't ask, don't tell. I have a good, a joint good. Listeners will already know because it will have been announced on Monday, but We've got a live show.
Starting point is 00:09:49 A big one. We're doing a very big live show. Can I also say something quite important? No, hugely important. Please. Neither of us are going to be pregnant. This will be the first live show that we have ever done. My God.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Well, we can both get giddy on the stage. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, indeed. That's so good because last time, like in the live tour, I was just taking my little tinnies out on stage. Yeah, no, you were. You're packing him away. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Okay, well, I'm sorry. Diane Abbott. But now you can join me. Yes, I can. That is so exciting. I'm much too scared to drink before an occasion like that. But I could probably be tempted. The anxiety, we can't, we can't risk that.
Starting point is 00:10:33 No, you, yeah, yeah, no. Because remember the first live show we did? Yeah, and you had like two glasses of Prosecco before we went on and I had not eaten properly and I went to my head and then I was incredibly anxious. You couldn't get in touch with me for like a week. No, I was like, right, well. That was like, right. I'm quitting. I don't like it. I hate it. I hate...
Starting point is 00:10:51 I have been perceived. I have been perceived hugely. But, I mean, this is... This is going to take it to a new level, though, because we are... We're going to be perceived a lot. There are. It is a big... It is the iconic Usher Hall in Edinburgh. And I love Edinburgh. I don't mean to be that guy. But I ran Edinburgh Marathon. Oh, you, go on. Okay. All right. Frenchie. Where else will be run? I mean, if you want to get into it... Marathon in France?
Starting point is 00:11:19 No, but I will. If you speak French to me, I could be tempted. Yeah, the Asher Hall, ginorm. It's 2,200 people. Don't play that aloud. I can't. I googled it yesterday, which I wish I hadn't. No.
Starting point is 00:11:31 It's ginormous, but I love Edinburgh. And I don't want to get drunk before we do it, because reputationalally, I don't think we can handle that. But I would very much like to get drunk afterwards, and I relish the opportunity. Okay, let me pitch something. Hit me. Getting drunk during. are getting tipsy joring, drunk afterwards.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Fine. I want the attendees to see us gradually getting sloppier and sloppier as we're on stage. I love watching you get drunk. Sloppy. It's one of my favourite things because you just lean further forwards and just get a fraction louder. Like that's the only way that I'd know. I like it. I also get like, I get very giddy.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Yeah, no, it's quite, but you're, that's a lovely thing. I love lovely drunks. Yeah, yeah, never been a bad, yeah. It'd be tough if you're a bad drunk actually. Well, I think the answer would probably be not to be not to drink. Yeah. We're going to be in Edinburgh on the 3rd of September. Third of September. It's a great day to be in Edinburgh. I've always thought third of September. God, I'd love to be in Edinburgh. Well, yeah, I'm sure you have, because you're funny about dates, aren't you? Is there a significance of the third of September? No, it just sounds great. Okay. What is, um, third of the night?
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah, no, it's first. Um, what, what star sign is that third of September? Oh, but you. It's just after your birthday. It's a burgo. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my. Oh, my, a Virgo season in Edinburgh on a very big stage drunk I'm drunk floppy it's going to be chaos guys
Starting point is 00:12:56 you've got to come oh it's going to be so fun but we're going to make a trip of it are you taking your kids I'm taking my kids yep yeah can't get that drunk same time you're going to come
Starting point is 00:13:04 you say that yeah I'm so excited I can't wait I can wait because I'm really nervous what if no one I mean no you can't do that because normally you're the optimistic
Starting point is 00:13:14 one and I'm the one that brings us down you have to be strong and positive okay hold us together that's your role in this okay what do you bring you let me panic panic fear right terror noted in that case can't wait for a sold out gig on the third of september in edinburgh um you know it's it for real so exciting so cool i can't believe they want us i'm mostly excited about going to edinburgh like on the trip we can get train snacks we can love train snacks train snacks actually you guys do train snacks really well really fucking well apart from last time when Alex got the dark Malteseers, which
Starting point is 00:13:49 That was so disappointing. I know you were gutted. You've never been so disappointed in him in my life. It's actually disappointed in you as a family. You know what, fair enough. You should have ever seen that. I know, I was hanging by a thread. It was a beginning of my HGLT.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah, it was slipping through the cracks, left, right and center. Yeah, we've drowning in dark mortgazers. Yeah, I threw, that was that train journey because I tried the Holy Sand Duck Wrap from the veggie vegan one from MNS and then I threw it up in the most disgusting loos. Oh, on a train, that's not ideal. You know what, actually. Really bad with hypermises, and I'm sure I've told this story before, but I once had the worst hangover of my entire life.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I got really day drunk and then a smidge of heat stroke. This was like 2018. And then I went up to Manchester to go and watch my dad filming something. And I got on the train and I was like, right, well, this is where I die. And I spent the entire train journey basically shitting myself and throwing up at the same time. That's absolutely horrendous. It was about as bad as anything's ever been. There are not many places as grim as a train toilet.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Not after a... Especially when you need to shit yourself and stick yourself. Yeah, it was so gross. Stick yourself. It was really bad. It was horrible. That was probably enough because I didn't really drink that much and I could probably trace it back to that day.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I will always remember reading an article in Cosmo about a woman who was on a train and needed to change her tampon. She put her tampon down on the train sink, train toilet sink. picked it back up, inserted it, and then got hepatitis, one of the hepatitises. Bloody hell, from a trained high-on. I can hear, Faye, fact-checking. Which is important. Which is really important.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I swear to you, I remember it. Tap, tap, tap away, Faye. It could have been E. coli, but it was one of those two. It could have been a cold. She got some of the braw her from it because she put it down on the toilet sink. So just as a heads up If you're putting a tampon down Put the tampon wrapper underneath it
Starting point is 00:15:54 I don't think I've ever needed to put I mean famously don't really have periods But I haven't had to put a tampon down I'm in and out Yeah Shake it all about Alright don't shame her She might have you know
Starting point is 00:16:04 Yeah well there's plenty of reasons For you might want to put a tampon down She might have needed to do a mid-tampon change poo I don't know No positive sounds are coming from FACA So let's skip over this Okay, I might have remembered a differently, but I'm pretty sure that's how it went. It was one of those diseases, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I have an awkward. Great. No, it wasn't great. It was horrible, actually. We were at an event. We went to an event. Me and you did? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I love it when you do things that I haven't noticed when we were together. The woman who organized it and invited us came to say hi. and speaking to her and then she said that it was her birthday so I was like oh my god happy birthday and as a little I don't know
Starting point is 00:16:51 a little happy birthday gesture I leaned out I reached out with my hand to touch her arm right to be like happy birthday arm touch it's difficult
Starting point is 00:16:59 because this is there's no video here but like I yeah arm touch happy birthday she had her arms crossed right so can you imagine this right
Starting point is 00:17:08 yeah she had her arms cross so I leaned out to touch her arm but I overreached and I struck her boob I touched her boob I literally went happy birthday as I touched
Starting point is 00:17:21 grabbed her boob and you know what I froze my whole body froze and like I know that what I should have done is go God sorry like sorry I'm meant to touch your arm oh my God
Starting point is 00:17:32 but I didn't I didn't say anything I just froze and I didn't say anything for like five seconds which is a really long time Where was the hand at that point? No no I snatched it back straight away like as soon as I touched it And I realized what I was doing, because I felt, I felt dress.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah. I felt boob rather than hand, like, rather than bare skin of her arm. I felt dress, dress covering boob. And I was like, like, pulled my hand back so fast. And then I was just like, oh. And I know that she, and we just kind of stared at each other and it's horrible. And I was like, why didn't I just say, oh, sorry? Like, that's so funny.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Why did I, sexually harassed? Loads of things are going through my mind and being like, what she thinks I did it on purpose. And like, oh my God, yeah, it's actually a restaurant on her birthday. On her birthday. I had a place of work. Oh my God, what's wrong with you? I know. That's a lot. She's from like very far south.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I can't remember what she said, but like she's on the coast. So I told her what I was from and she was like, God, that's so far north. Which is not like that far north, but for her, it's really far north. I thought like, oh my God, she might think it's like a northern tradition. On her birthday, just reach out and stroke the boob. I think she might have met people from Liverpool before. She'll be telling this story
Starting point is 00:18:50 like you were the Cosmo Tampon Hepatitis story. Do you know what they do in Liverpool on your birthday? They reach out and they just tap your tip. Oh, horrible. That's horrible. She's listening, you know who you are and I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do it. And I'm so sorry to acknowledge it and made it incredibly uncomfortable for everyone.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah, that's super weird. Mine are awkward. Proud of myself though. I've got a lump on my thigh. Not, that's not what I'm proud of myself for. I was going to say. Well done you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:19:18 I've got a lump on my thigh and I thought, I noticed it like a couple of years ago. And I was like, oh, lump on my thigh. Yeah. That'll be a cyst. And then I didn't do anything about it. Then I was like, oh, I was probably limped up. Anyway, I've basically been ignoring it, kicking it down the road for a while. And then Alex took a photo of me in the day and I saw it in the photo.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And I was like, that's a chunky lump. Yeah. So I went to the doctor. Well done. Thank you so much. And it's fine. It's just a cyst. I think.
Starting point is 00:19:41 I mean, she wasn't, who knows. The awkward part is, when you go with something on your upper thigh, the only thing to do is just take your trousers down. Take your trousers down. But just a little bit. There wasn't any point. I was like, well, it's just there. So there's no point in like taking them down down.
Starting point is 00:19:55 At the same point in taking them off. So I ended up just taking them down to my knees, which is weird. Because then it's like, well, this is horrible. Because it feels incredibly intimate. It feels like I should be sitting on the loo. And then do you sit back down? Do you stand up? So I was like, I just pull my trousers down to my knees.
Starting point is 00:20:11 and then you should have thought ahead and worn a dress or shorts yeah or shorts so you could just pull them up I know I thought about it as I was leaving I was like I should have worn shorts but I hadn't shaved my legs so I was like right well there we are so I just pulled them down and then I got really awkward so she felt it and she went oh yeah that's probably just assist I went okay cool and then she started washing her hands so okay and then I was like well I'll just pull my trousers back up and then I was going to sit back down and I was like you know what don't need to do that so I was like anyway thanks bye I just left That is so awkward It was like I went into the Lou for a quickie
Starting point is 00:20:44 I literally was like in, down Alright, like so much a few times You were still washing her hands when I left I was like I'm not gonna, I don't really need to do this Oh God, I feel he be jubes Don't call me I have an awkward Another one
Starting point is 00:20:55 Another one, right But it's a by proxy awkward And it's one that I've been holding on to For a couple weeks actually If it's by proxy, is it me? I meant to say it last week and I forgot No, no no it's more I guess it's a more of an is it just me
Starting point is 00:21:05 Awquid right We went to see the football Yeah, a couple weeks ago the FA Cup final, which was so cool. Slay. So cool. So good. Honestly, one of the best events I've ever been to in my life.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Me too, quite complicated with Arlo, though, because every time Chelsea scored, that's the objective, that's why we're there, we want the goals. But then it's quite overwhelming for her because everybody shouts. Very, yeah. So I was trying to explain, and she didn't want goals. Like, when they were goals, she was like, ah, I was like, okay. Fair. Come back next year.
Starting point is 00:21:31 But she's like, it was really fun. So fun. But I, it really struck me, right? when they start the match and the ball's just there and all the players are on their own sides and then the ball just is there and then the whistle goes like
Starting point is 00:21:45 how awkward must that be to suddenly start the game how awkward and uncomfortable is that you go no you go I mean obviously I know they don't do that but like how awkward to get it going fraction of silence and where are they all going to go
Starting point is 00:22:03 oh we've kind of got to perform now but like who's going to go wet Like, oh, oh, and then you're going to be really good from the off. And starting into a run, it's always embarrassing. How embarrassing. Once you're running, no biggie. How embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:22:15 But going from walking to running, embarrassing, going from standing to running. Yeah. Mortify it. I once to ask you to, I never played team sports because I couldn't stand the pressure. I couldn't stand the idea of letting anyone down on the team. I couldn't bear it. So, like, swimming in tennis is where I, like, had my happy place because I could just do it alone. I wasn't letting anybody down, apart from moving my parents and myself.
Starting point is 00:22:36 but like team sports I could have so did you play team sports and is it awkward and uncomfortable when I did the whistle goes and you have to start playing I don't think I've overthought it enough would be my answer to that I asked Dave and he was like I just what what do you mean I had to explain to him like five times he's like no I still don't get it why would it be awkward I'm like do you understand what I mean though I completely understand yeah I knew you were I completely understand what you mean I used to play hockey but I think that's different because you're coming at it with a weapon do you know what I mean like You're armed.
Starting point is 00:23:06 There's something about your feet being the weapon that's quite embarrassing with football where it's just like, I've got my tools like at the end of my legs. Whereas with a stick, it's like, well, I'll just move forward with purpose because I've a stick. You've got so much more purpose. So much more. Yeah. And also you can, yeah, you've got like your eyes.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I don't know. It's just something uncomfortable about like. I also, it's nice to have a thing, isn't it? So when you've got your stick, it's like, well, it's fine, I've got a stick. Yeah, you've got a prop. Yeah, you've got a prop. Yeah, it's nice. It's like when you go into a room holding like a base.
Starting point is 00:23:36 It's like, well... Yeah, less attention on you. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. I'll just hold the baby. And then it's like, no one's going to look at me being like, oh, look at that lemon because she's got a baby. And you get it. Yeah, yeah, so it's just...
Starting point is 00:23:44 Any footballers listening, can you let us know? Is it really awkward when the whistle goes off? I'd say rugby's worse because I'm pretty... Just fly at each other. You have to fly down because you have to pick it up. And famously, is there anything more embarrassing than picking up a ball? No. And especially if you're like, you know, like bang heads with someone.
Starting point is 00:24:01 You've got to run at it like a downward. Like you've got to run at it at like a downward. got to, like, run and then go down. Oh, I don't know. I'm feeling uncomfortable thinking about it. Because we played ping pong at the FA Cup thing. And to be fair, we mostly made Dave chase the ball. But that wasn't it? Watching him trot off.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Wasn't it? Been it all over. Yeah, bend down together. I was like, oh, God, how undignified. Let it go, Dave. Let it go. He also, we carried on playing afterwards, and he also, like, lunge for a ball. We got competitive.
Starting point is 00:24:29 We're like, right, we're going to play a game. Got competitive. He, like, and he's incredibly competitive. He, like, lunch for ball, lunched. too hard and like whacked a girl, just a random bystander. With a bat. With her bat. Well, you can't be doing that.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I know, and he's like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I was like, yeah, sorry, he gets competitive. I'm pleased he gets competitive and I didn't know because we beat him. So. Did be him? Yeah. I'm quite good at ping pong.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I run a baby to look after. Yeah, yeah. He was just alone. Yeah, it was me, Arlo and Alex versus Dave. He kicked his ass. I mean, we played like two points, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. And we sent him running, embarrassingly after the ball.
Starting point is 00:25:04 stooped over and I completely understand that with team sports that makes a lot of sense to me doesn't it? Doesn't it? Never thought about it before. No yeah, really awkward. It was fun though. I hated team sports so much. I wish I could go back and play team sports now. Like I, it's so tragic.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I didn't have the confidence. Why don't you join a netball team? Because I'd have to cut my nails, I think. And honestly, I've not got the time. I'm expecting that. Because I'd have to like... get a babysitter, like miss a bedtime, but I'd have to come on the hills. Well, that's always been my thing, because, like, you know, loads of my friends play netball.
Starting point is 00:25:42 None of them on the same team, but, like, they all play netball in the evenings. Yeah. Like, all round London, like, Crystal Palace team or a Brixton team, like, they all play. Netball. Netball, which is really cool. I really liked hockey. I found it incredibly satisfying, like a big whack, and then, like, a wood to a bull, and then, like, a, like, a, like, a, you know.
Starting point is 00:26:04 like I liked it it's not that precious so much I got the biggest bruise of my life once on my thigh really yeah I remember thinking that's gangster you know what I mean with a hockey stick made by a hockey stick got the ball to the thigh it was a lot
Starting point is 00:26:20 yeah and I'm in the soft bit that's probably where the lump's from to be fair I was gonna say things are adding up I was thinking it's exactly the same position actually we just got to the bottom thing yeah I needn't have gone to the GP intake in my trousers down yesterday it's an ancient hockey injury from 20
Starting point is 00:26:34 years ago um yeah no completely i awkward yeah but i i would i would relish the opportunity to play as an adult but i think i've probably left it too late and i do like nebill and i'm quite good at shooting you will a lot have left at two days quite good goal goal attacking i think because well actually i this might not be right what i'm saying but like when people do it leisurely like once a couple of weeks and stuff i imagine that they don't ever get that good so i don't no no they're so good oh okay no mine but also i love catching balls like catching and throwing not definitely Do you know why? I actually do like catching train balls as well, actually. It's fun. It's so fucking fun.
Starting point is 00:27:08 You know that game in friends where they have to keep the ball up? Yes. They can't drop the ball. Great game. One of my favorite games ever. When I'm on holiday with my brother, or really anyway, all we do is throw the ball to each other. Same. Like, when we go, before I had kids, they haven't really been away because he's been living in Australia. But before we had kids, if we ever went away together, my whole family, like my mom and my brother and my sister and me and Alex when he joined, although he never really got it. We'd just throw and catch balls. Love that. That is right on my...
Starting point is 00:27:36 We would do such a good holiday together. Well, we've been thinking about going on holiday together. We could just take a tennis ball. You could just leave me in the shallows of the sea, throwing catching a ball, and I'd be so happy. I'd just love... And you know, I'm really good at throwing. Like, I can throw really far.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I feel terrible for saying this, but I'm... That surprises me. Does it? No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. Stick with your first thought. Why were you surprised? step back out of this now
Starting point is 00:28:03 I don't know I just didn't think sport was your thing like I know you're so good at running but like I didn't think like sport was your thing why I don't know Is it because I'm now coordinated Is it because I fall over a lot
Starting point is 00:28:17 No I feel like it might be because of these things What is it? I don't know I don't know I feel like I've just never heard you talk about sport Or like doing sports So I've not considered it But that's great to know
Starting point is 00:28:26 I feel like it's a cornerstone With my personality to be honest I will add back to my list of Well it's exercise isn't it? But I don't know. There's something about a ball. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I'm rubbish at kicking them, as you know. I was crap at that football stuff that we did. Do you remember? When we went there, we did that shoot for Venus, and we went with the lionesses. And there was this squad of, like, incredible young footballers. It's like school age,
Starting point is 00:28:51 but like they were amazing, those girls and us. And we were the ambassadors. And it was like, thanks for inviting us, but what are we doing here? Literally, what are we doing here? And then the cameraman, obviously didn't know us apart,
Starting point is 00:29:00 should have done, from the footballers. So he's like, yeah, cool, and just shoot a goal. I was like, just shoot a what now? Do you know what? Do you remember when we went to? Oh, fuck, what was it that we went to? With Venus.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yeah, we went to the opening game of the Euros in 2022. And you, no, 2023, either way. 22nd or 2. And you won a lifetime supply of raises. I won a lifetime supply. Because she's really good at kicking. I'm like, I was so random. And then I think I like, I beat a man called Steve.
Starting point is 00:29:29 And then I was like, I can't really take the lifetime supply of, we're here with Venus. So I was like, Steve, you can have the lifetime supply of raises. It was like, right? It was really hard, right? So they had this big cardboard boxing with like five holes in it. I know what? We're going to make the story lifer because there were five holes in the wall,
Starting point is 00:29:49 in the cardboard wall, and they were all different sizes. And you got more points shooting the ball into the smallest hole. And she got it, like every ball in the smallest hole. It was crazy. Can I just say it? I thought you said of raisins. Raysen? Lifetime supply of raisins. Not a live reason.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Is it? I do have a lot of raisins in my handbag, if anyone's interesting. Imagine how much a lifetime supply of raisins would be. It would, like, fill the entire house. Well, it depends on how many raisins you get through. It's hard to call something like that. It's hard to call races as well. What's a lifetime supply of raisins?
Starting point is 00:30:28 I feel like a race is that you could probably get through like one head a month. But raisins, it's like, well, that's anyone's guest because really you could just keep going. Also, how long are you going to live for? Quite. Who's lifetime? Have you left the terms and conditions in this competition? Look, before I win, I need to know. How many raisins are we talking? Yeah, you're so good. No, I do need to set the record straight. I can't kick. I'm not good at kicking. But you're good at catching and throwing. I feel like we need to go to Greece with a tennis ball. I don't feel like we need to do this in Greece. We could just get a tennis pool.
Starting point is 00:31:00 The game donkey, did you play that? Yes. If you drop it, you get a D. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. See, did you ever play Bums?
Starting point is 00:31:08 No, what's that? Oh, God. See, this is where you didn't have a brother on its shows. My brother was absolutely savage. So they'd do it with kicking, but you had to keep the ball up. And then if you dropped it, you'd get a BU, I bet you Dex has played this. You'd go through, cool. Of course.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Yeah, you'd go through until you get to the S. And then if you didn't, when you got to Bums, you'd have to go against a wall, and get your ass out and then everyone you were playing with could kick the ball yeah this is definitely a brother thing what the fuck yeah my brother was honestly from as old as I can remember
Starting point is 00:31:40 and bear in mind this man is younger than me he would stand me in the goal at home like he'd got a little football goal thing and he'd give me a pair of gloves and he would just kick the football at me that's probably why I got so good at catching he would just kick it for fucking hours and I'm just there like
Starting point is 00:31:53 uh uh uh uh terrifying terrifying yeah and yeah the bum's thing was a lot They, um, yeah, he was a very, sounds awful, I don't think that should be allowed. No, really, should not have been allowed. Boys and Bulls just bad. And I was, I was, I was to pull into that, like, fear, fear, you know? You never thought about that.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Pulled into its orbit. They're fun. So there's an element of fear, I think, for me. How cool you got to experience both, brother and sister? Yeah. I feel like what happened is that, is that, um, we just did what he wanted with, with the horse thing Yeah, it sounds like it
Starting point is 00:32:30 Yeah Once I left If Katia was pulled in Have much say Good age different Well he would argue that I think He was left to do girly things But I do have a nice cassette
Starting point is 00:32:39 Of a singing I'm like a bird on a karaoke machine Stop it It's so sweet Perhaps it did go both ways Thinking about it You can hear me being really bossy as well It's like just do it like you mean it
Starting point is 00:32:51 Like come on And yeah we play a lot of It was fun having a brother We did a lot of wee tennis, a lot of wee tennis. Oh, wee, we. There should be more whee's in our lives, the Nintendo Wii. Yeah, I loved that. I missed that immensely, apart from when you stood on it, and it told you you were a beast.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yeah, do you remember that? Yeah, do, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, that horrible sound. Triggering. But it was good at itself. Right, you've got a game.
