Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm going to back to should delete that. Oh, that's light. And I'm M. Clarkson. Who is she? You looked expectant. Yeah. Tell them who you are. There was a pregnant pause.
Starting point is 00:00:20 I get triggered. I hear pregnant. I can't. Sorry. Good, bad, awkward. Anything? I have an awkward. Go.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I've been busting to tell you. No, I'm not. It's piles, isn't it? No, it's not piles, but it's not good. It feels like it's going to be something intimate. It is something intimate. Okay. My best kind of awkward, go on.
Starting point is 00:00:37 I'm so, I'm so aware of Dexter's presence behind that curtain. So I went for wax in the day. Well done. Thank you. First one post-partum. I just, as you know, I am not feeling my oats at the moment. No. And I was like, I want to feel, I just, shut the fuck.
Starting point is 00:00:55 I'm so grumpy. I feel like you. sorry very rude yeah no okay right I'm not feeling great and I was like I just that will help like it will just help you know what I was getting irrational you know what it's like when you're really tired you're like I need to book it right now like I can't wait for an appointment I need it now so I booked it on Ruby which is like the home the one that comes to your house and it was the first the first appointment I could get the only appointment I could get basically was with this woman booked it she came to the house a bit of a surreal situation because Alex is working from home
Starting point is 00:01:26 he said his desk she just put the table up literally in front of his desk I was like okay well that's just happened no one left the room you know normally everyone's like I will just leave the room while you take your trousers off nothing like that so I was like right well ass out here away we go so got my trousers down got on the bed Alex is out his computer literally out my head tight so I like turn my head to the left and he's just there holding something like just just let's just get it gone you know what I mean anyway she does the wax obviously had a C-section you You have to be a little bit careful around this car.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I do appreciate that. I caveat by saying, I do appreciate that element. Yes. But we finished, right. Well, she said we finished. She was like, all done. And I looked at it and I was like, oh, we. And she was like, I pointed out of it.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I was like, can you get that bit? And she's like, do you want that bit gone? I was like, yeah. And then she was like, okay. And then she did it. And then there was another little bit. And I was like, there's another little bit here. Wait, did she just, did she leave?
Starting point is 00:02:26 Like, what? Like an inch below the scar? No. No, no, no, no. It was all gone, apart from like some bits that weren't gone. Oh. But not like along the scar that were just. So it got after, yeah, like just scattered.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Like, you know, when you look at the weather forecast and it's like scattered showers. Yeah. Exactly like that. Just like a little bit. Scatterfews. Yeah. I was like, can you get that bit? And then she said, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And then I was like, what about this bit? And then she got that bit. And then after that, I was like, I can't ask for a third bit. Did you ask for Hollywood? Yes. Wait, this is really weird then. So, still now, there are just just a couple.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Was she like, oh shit, I missed that? She didn't really care. She was like, oh yeah, I can get that. And I was like, cool, thanks. That's really weird. And then she's like, yeah, I can get that. I'd like an explanation. Well, she did say, I said, have you been busy
Starting point is 00:03:16 and she said, not really. So I thought, well, maybe he's just out of practice. It was fine. It was, I don't know, but I was like, this is just so, I just have to leave. This is done now. Like, this is as far as. you and I go together so I just left it so it's it's mostly great now can you try and explain to us
Starting point is 00:03:32 where these patches are I'm struggling so they were like okay there were a couple of hairs on the scar which is like fair enough we could get a tweezer like I'll just do it myself if you don't want to do it yeah I can't imagine putting wax on no you're not allowed to wax it but you could have I'm she could have tweezed I'm not particularly hairy to be honest I'm quite lucky like that so it's not like yeah what can I say it's just don't really get hair it's not like it's not like It wasn't bad around the scar is what I'm trying to say. So there was like a couple. I was like, okay, okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Fine. But then there were just little, like just a couple. Like there's a little patch over there's like five hairs. And then a little patch over here where it's like sort of over Cardiff. Five. And then, you know, like down like over Southampton, five hairs. That is so weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:14 That is so weird. It goes against entirely the concept of Hollywood. I know. But you know and you know from the beginning when it's not going to be great because some people are like on and off. it wasn't like on and off it was like on and then I hate the false thoughts
Starting point is 00:04:30 I hate the false starts and then there was like oh sorry it's stuck I was like that is the last thing I want to hear while having a wow oh sorry it's stuck I'm like what stuck where stuck to what
Starting point is 00:04:41 I know I have this irrational fear that my I don't want to say it we all know what you're mean because you're clapping your hands what I think got stuck together, do you know what I mean? Forever.
Starting point is 00:04:58 But what if the wax stuck them together? You just ripped the wax off. But what if it stuck them together? You just ripped the wax off. How do you get to it? That's what, like, if you've not got a clean run at the pull, do you know what I mean? You just like, oh, you might need, that might be a two-man job, actually, because you might need, you might need something to, like, stretch.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yeah, no, someone would need to, like, stretch. Stretch. Stretch what? Stretch them. Not if they're stuck together. The lips, okay? I'm talking around it, but I'm talking about the lips.
Starting point is 00:05:35 What if they got stuck together? Then someone would have, right, someone would have to spread. You couldn't spread them because if it's stuck together. Okay. This is the first time we've lost fade to one of these things.
Starting point is 00:05:48 She's gone. Look, I see a very logical solution to this you'd need you would need two men right but one would be so rather than I'm going to need two men
Starting point is 00:06:02 to solve this problem rather than spread it sideways spread it vertically and then pull like a zipper and then pull like a zipper yeah there you go but I do think yeah I do think
Starting point is 00:06:14 a two man job probably but she was having to really get nails in to try and get the bit that was stark and she was like it's really stark I was like this is the worst it's not the worst sentence you could have said But it's among one of the bad ones. There are certain things you don't want to hear
Starting point is 00:06:27 while someone's putting hot wax on your vulva and it's stuck. It's one of them. Yeah, no, I don't. Sorry. It's horrible. That's horrible because that makes me feel like you're going to tear my skin off. But also, like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Or you're just going to live with it forever. Well, that's the, probably not hygienic. There were elements of, there were bits stuck at the end. Do you know when you see like someone's done patchy shaving? You've, it wasn't great. I'm not going to. The thing is, and I fear I am in the majority here, I don't leave bad reviews. See, I was going to ask you about this because this is a conundrum.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It is because I don't leave bad reviews because I don't want to. Someone's business. But you're also doing someone else at a service. I mean, not that. I mean, okay, who would I rather do it? Like, do you want a slightly patchy vaj? Or do I would rather her not have work? I'd rather you have a patchy badge.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Exactly. So I'm just going to leave her to it. I am with you. That's where I land as well. 100% yeah. I had this. This is a little bit more serious, actually. But I was booked a taxi.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I had to go to, we're getting like a ridiculously early flight because it was cheaper, obviously. Which then, like, negated because then you have to buy a taxi to get you to stand stead. You don't have to buy a taxi, but you can book one.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I know, I bought a black cat up. Highest taxi. And it was really early, like four o'clock or something, 4 a.m. And he fell asleep at the wheel. That's... Yeah. And he like hit the central reservation.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Like it was fine. Obviously not great. But like it was fine because the roads were completely empty. So like we screamed. He swirved. We screamed. This was my ex-ex boyfriend. And then he was like horrified, mortified.
Starting point is 00:08:15 He was like, it's the end of the night for me. Like, you know, he... And then he was like, please don't report it. And I went through this really like, I don't know what to do because you're begging me. and like you're you know he was like my family and I was like this is so hard because but also you can't fall asleep and then what if I didn't report it and then an accident's happened right he was just human and then what if I don't report it and then someone it happens again what did you
Starting point is 00:08:38 do my boyfriend reported it oh wow yeah after we beg that's a hard one yeah that's really hard yeah well give you remember what happened when I complained about the guy's playing candy crush My, well, yeah, my boy, my ex-boyfriend, he's very, very, like, fair. And he, like, he was like, you don't have to report it, but I'm going to, like, this feels like a moral, like, something that I have to do. And I was like, fair. Then also that takes it out of my hands. Yeah, I get.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah, I don't know. Oh, that's, it's hard. No, I get it. Because you, because, yeah, what if it had been, yeah, what if. Could have been a child in the car. They could have been. And maybe you always drives really tired, drives really tired. Well, exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Maybe he always takes jobs at the end of the night. like thinking just one more job just one more job yeah oh god the morale it's the weight of responsibility is heavy isn't it way heavier than my patchy pews the stakes are a little bit higher because we had that with the candy with the cab driver who was playing candy crush and I didn't want to report it and then Alex wanted me to report it because he was like but then because he's like you're pregnant and he's driving dangerously with a pregnant person in yeah I said what if he's just having a bad day I've ever left a bad review for anything I've never left a bad review for anything. I've threatened it in my mind and I've written them out. I've left and I've thought
Starting point is 00:09:55 I went to a restaurant the other day. Go on. When I was pregnant, sparing in mind, it could barely eat. But I went to a restaurant the other day and they didn't have any vegetarian food. So it's a pub and there was no veggie roast. Oh wow. Nothing at all. So there was nothing on the menu, which was a bit weird because I didn't think that happened but it just didn't. It was somewhere up in like Notting Hill and there was nothing. So I was like, oh, this is a bit awkward but like there's something that I can eat. And then, so I said, I was like, can I have a side of roast potatoes? And I'll just have roast potatoes.
Starting point is 00:10:23 And then she said, no. She said, sorry, the potatoes are pre-allocated to the, to the meat. Like, we only have a certain number of potatoes and they go with the, I can do your side of mash? And I was like, but what's the difference? If the mash is a bit of a match, but then the mash is in the butter, so it's not vegan, so can I just have the roast potatoes? And then she said, no.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And it was really awkward. And I was like, you know what? Not they're hungry. Don't worry about it. Won't eat. Anyway, then I was with my mum or my brother and my sister Anyway, everyone else's food arrived apart from my mum's
Starting point is 00:10:51 And then when we complained about it They were really like You know, it's not ready So that's why it's not here And it was like, okay, this is just really uncomfortable That's so bad And in my mind I'm gonna leave a scathing review And I didn't obviously obviously
Starting point is 00:11:05 I said I don't want to be So I didn't and then I thought But the problem is then all the reviews on Trust Piler Or whatever it's called TripAdvisor All five stars And I think what if we only because I only leave good reviews. Because people ask,
Starting point is 00:11:18 always when a waitress comes over and says, can you leave me a good review? I'll go, okay. Always, yeah. Give me a card and I will leave you a review. But, see, I think that's, that's different. That's not just like they've had a bad day.
Starting point is 00:11:29 The entire restaurant's had a bad day. I think that's different. It's like they're purposely not catering to very, like, basic dietary needs. Well, if I could remember what it was called, I'd out of them here, but I can't say I wouldn't. Also, I weren't in general. Also, what a burn.
Starting point is 00:11:42 It was that unmemorable. I don't even know. the name. But I always say that when people complain about things on Instagram, I just think, whoa, you're brave. Yeah, that's very great. Like when influencers known about stuff, I'm like, whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Or like complain about a service or something. Yeah, I saw an Instagram, an influencer on Instagram talking about she hadn't been paid by a brand. Oh, I saw this. Did you? Yeah, I pulled up a seat. I was front row. I was like, oh my God, good for you.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Good for you. Yeah, it was the, no, what? What about? Oh, we're going to need to be that. It doesn't pay by who? Was she not? No. They are terrible for paying that. Yeah, yeah, no, really bad, and they have to pay anything anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Okay. Okay, so these are different situations. Oh, my God, look at us. In different theatres. Drama. I know. God, I love people, but that's so brave. I know, so it's really brave.
Starting point is 00:12:36 But good on them. I will take my complaints to my coffin or my podcast. Yeah. I will take my complaints to my coffin via my podcast. Oh, I need to watch this one. So tell me about this one. This one, she... That I missed?
Starting point is 00:12:55 Well, I'm scared to say the brand, but it's a very big clothing brand and they have collaborations with a lot of influencers. And then once this influencer who's very big, once she spoke about it, then it was like snowball effect, like dominoes, like loads of people then influencers started talking about it and saying, I haven't been paid either. What did it begin with? And there are whispers that the company's going into administration. And I worry that none of these influences will get their money.
Starting point is 00:13:23 What is it again with? Begins as I. I know. I got it. Wow. I think it may be. Yeah, I think so. That's difficult.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. Wow. Super interesting. Maybe I did see this. Yeah, it's the drama. I know. It's a lot, isn't it? I don't think there's a lot of this brand in terms of like,
Starting point is 00:13:45 reputation yeah I do think there's a lot of sympathy for people with like any influences don't get their don't get their money but on a but if you've done the job you've done the job you've agreed you've agreed a certain amount you've done the job you've delivered and then it's so frustrating like we we have to chase money all the time we have to chase people for our invoices that was genuinely the worst part of starting being self-employed yeah invoicing I would get emails from people going please can you invoice me like the time would be like four months and I'm like no I can't ask them for money I can't and Alex is like it's money that you earned and I'm I'd get so awkward about asking to be paid
Starting point is 00:14:25 which is I know tragic and some people put like late fees on and everything which so they should absolutely should but I just couldn't bring myself to do that oh my god no I should have done that yeah no it's such an awkward thing you should you should pay if if a service has been provided it's been provided and then you should pay. Yeah. God. Yeah, no, I'm feeling awkward now that I've... Yeah, lots of drama.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Then it's, yeah, whenever I see anything and, like, people tag, it's like, I don't know, British Airways, lost my bag, like, at British Airways. I'm like, ooh, yeah, you were drama. I know. I know. Do you think the brands ever see that? Yeah. Do you think?
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah. But also, I think we need to be very careful, like... I don't know. Oh, God. It's so much tied up because that's going to be like, we need to be careful, like, reputation. Like, you don't want to be a person that complains. Like in life, but in our job.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Especially not a woman that complains. Well, quite. And then I was like, that's so bad. But, like, if you were looking at, like, a male influencer, which sounds like an oxymoron, but if you're like, like, like, if they were complaining. If they tagged BA, it was like, where's my bag? They get deal off the back of it.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody would be like, yeah, buddy, where is your bag? But if, like, if it was me, everyone would be like, oh, you can afford a new bag. Fucker, just carry your own bag, you little princess. Like, oh, they're probably having a bad day. Don't call BA out. Do you know what I mean? Like, we're so bad at, like, letting women.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I know, it's so true. But then also look at us because I'm like, shut up. You hate your nails, shut up. You still got pubes after you pay to have them removed. Shut up. No food for you. Shut up. Scattered pubs.
Starting point is 00:15:56 If this episode is not called scattered pubs, I will be upset. I knew that was coming. That can be the headline. I've got two things that I've talked to about quite urgently. Good. Number one, is, and is it just me? Because I am feeling so overwhelmed by information coming from social media. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:22 I feel like whenever I open the app, and this is, I think this is the thing as well, is like, whenever I open the app, I see something, and then suddenly the feed is refreshed and then it's gone. But it was like something that I should have, I was like, oh, I should have made note of that. But then there's like a new video that I'm like, oh, but then I need to take notice of this one. and I need to learn something from this one. And then all these things popping up and I feel like I am absolutely overwhelmed
Starting point is 00:16:46 and like bombarded with information. And I feel like I need to action all of this information. And my camera roll is building up a screenshots of like things I should do. Okay, hit me, talk me through some of the things that we're... I've got a thousand recipes in my camera. Let's be realistic about the information we need to onboard. Actually, I'm...
Starting point is 00:17:06 rude, find that very rude. I do want to digress quickly though. I found an app and it's probably the best app I found in like three years that's a lot of years yeah is it better than that one
Starting point is 00:17:17 that you found was it the game that you played? What was the game that you played? Woody blocks. Yeah. Yeah, no, I still do that when I'm on the phone no, no, that's elite, top tier.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Okay. This is called I don't know actually what's called. It's the best app I've ever found. What's it? Ressie me, like recipe but Ressing me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I honestly, I can't rave about this app enough. Not sponsors. wish it was so clearly not sponsored you didn't know what it was called yeah you can go onto any instagram recipe tictock recipe uh BBC good food like website and you click send to and then you send it to this app and it will just take it'll do do do do do do and it takes this whole recipe and then it'll list out it'll pull out all the ingredients and then pull out the method for you and then saves it into folder so i've got like Tommy recipes not like as if he'll eat anything
Starting point is 00:18:10 that I make for him and then like dinners, lunches and then like categorised them and then holds them in one place for you and rather than being like I've got to screenshot the recipe, screenshot the method, why do you not look impressed? To be honest, it got more impressive. At the beginning when you just said it shows you the recipes and the ingredients I thought that's exactly what the website does at the point of a recipe ingredients method. Okay, but it holds them all in one place. That's cool. Yeah, okay, that's good.
Starting point is 00:18:40 them. Okay. Almost like a cookbook. It's like a cookbook. Put on your phone. A big digital, curated, clever cook. That does sound good.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I know. Yeah, no, you should have perhaps told it the other way around. I'm not good at telling stories. Back to information overload. I'm just,
Starting point is 00:18:59 I feel like I'm bogged down. I feel like I can't get off the apps either when I get on them. I think it's working. I think this is exactly what they wanted, isn't it? But I've never really felt, I don't know what's how.
Starting point is 00:19:10 happen. I don't know if there's been a changing algorithm. Maybe. Because a lot of the stuff I save is like kid hacks, toddler hacks. And I'm like, I need to save that. Where am I going to save that? Where am I going to? And I'm like, if I save it, I won't find it again. So I've got screenshot it. But then I'm left at night time with like this like ton of screenshots of stuff that I need to learn. I need to get better at. I need to do. And I need to implement. And I'm like, how am I going to do all of that? I don't think you should. I don't think you should do But then how do I, like, seed out what bits, like, I should take and not, I'm not good like that. I'm not good at filtering. So, okay, so I don't know if you're actually coming to
Starting point is 00:19:49 me for advice on this, but particularly when it comes to parenting, something that I've learned having a second child is with the first, I took on every single piece of information that was available to me because I assumed that everybody was a better mother than me and everybody knew more than me because I was new at it. And like, I didn't know what I was doing because you never feel like you know what you're doing. So like if anybody said anything suggested this, drop this nap, do this, try this at bedtime. Have you done this? Have you done this? I took on everything. And I'm like, I'll try it. I'll try it. I'll try it. With this kid, people are like, you need to be dropping this. Don't feed on it. I'm like, shut up. This is,
Starting point is 00:20:21 you have no idea. Like, I know this baby. I know my routine. I know my house. I'm going to do it how I'm going to do it because it's the only way I can do it. Like, and I'm so much more confident in myself this time. So now when I need information, I will go for it. I will seek a out. But I don't take on solicit. But I don't take on anything that I haven't looked for. That does not apply to the news, to climate change, to any of the anxiety holes that I find myself in online, but with motherhood specifically, I will only go looking for what I need and I won't take on anything else. But here's the thing. I've learned some genuinely good things. And some of the advice that I've gotten has been super helpful. So how do I differ? How do I know what's
Starting point is 00:21:05 How do I not apply it all? Okay, so let's say there's something you need advice on. Like, when you say some of the advice that you found, that'll be the advice that you needed. So it's like if you're struggling with this one specific thing, like, oh, I'm struggling with making him eat things. I'm going to go and look for things that's going to help. The sleep thing is a really big one, actually.
Starting point is 00:21:24 The sleep one is huge because there are a lot of people out there that are like capitalizing on parents. Yeah. That don't have much sleep. And they're like selling all these things. and like there's so much advice and maybe it's because I initially engaged with that content
Starting point is 00:21:39 when he was first born and I was like, I'm never going to sleep again and now it's just like I don't know it is a lot but I think people do capitalise on it because it's like everyone's got to eat so they want to
Starting point is 00:21:52 like people are going to see you as a potential customer this isn't just specific to parenting either it's then like I'll see like okay so yeah it's like cooking parenting and then it'll be like, oh, I love you, and I'm going to hold your hand when I say this.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I think these might be the areas that you're feeling quite insecure about. What do you think? Yeah, so I think maybe you're looking like, these are the areas that you don't like that you maybe don't believe in yourself even though you should. Like, oh, because you don't think you're very good at cooking.
Starting point is 00:22:24 So it's like, well, I feel like I should be getting better at it. And no one feels like they're good enough at parenting, so everybody feels like they should be getting better at that. Yeah, probably. So perhaps this is just the areas where you're feeling like you're not doing it. enough so you feel like you should be taking on everybody else and stuff but you don't need to I wonder if anyone else feels like this I'm sure they do and it's so weird because I just I feel like it's I just I feel like we are being like the stuff flying at us there's like information content
Starting point is 00:22:51 flying at us and I feel like it's blowing me back against the wall I don't know does that make sense yeah I can see it in my head there's so much content and I'm like I'm being like battered by it all. It is insane. I wonder if it'll like taper or if this is just where we, every single thing. It's just, yeah. But it's terrifying to watch in real time your attention span vanishing. I know it's like, because you said the other day that you were getting annoyed that you
Starting point is 00:23:19 couldn't afford an Instagram video. Yeah, yeah. You had to just watch. Because, I know you can't. But like, yeah, you just hold down the right side of the screen. I didn't know that. Yeah. And it'll do it two times to speed.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Like, yeah. Giving you what you need. And like, I was. started to do it with podcasts as well like do it on 1.5 and it's like no wonder i can't be alone with my own thoughts anyway this is turning into a pair of possession maybe you should try and just watch things set yourself a challenge for a week of like consuming things in normal time i just get itchy yeah you've got to sit with that discomfort girl i know i know i think we might be jack in the discomfort lies the yeah yeah probably i think we probably do um yeah i don't listen to podcasts at 1.5p
Starting point is 00:23:57 unless i'm doing research for this do you not no because i'm trying to normally i have to listen twice I've had to listen to the fucking rest of politics episode about Trump and the bloody tariffs like three times because I'm like, I'm so stupid. They keep using long words. I'm like, get in my brain. Roy Stewart's all like Lesotho and I'm like, where's Lesotho? It's in Africa and their biggest export is diamonds
Starting point is 00:24:18 but I've literally had to listen three times to make it make sense. It's so annoying. So yeah, we've got the opposite problem. It's going from podcasts as well. And now I feel like I can't listen to a podcast just to enjoy it. I have to listen to a podcast to get something from it. I have to learn something from it. It's got to be making me better at something.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Okay, you need to do something for you. I did send you a photo this morning of us in 2021, looking young, fun and free. Honestly, I looked at that and like, I was like, I can, I can, literally, like, who, who? I was the same. I looked at it out. I was like, oh, RIT to her.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Because like, so young, so carefree. You weren't that. Okay, I really wasn't. I was probably still older than you are now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The other thing I want to talk to you about, that's my crisis.
Starting point is 00:25:07 White Lotus. Okay, before you go on that, I think we need to give you some homework and I actually want to check back in after a week. Go on. I think you need to listen to podcasts on one speed. I think you need to not allow yourself to screen grab any information that you haven't actively seeked out. You can save it on Instagram. Okay. Because we all know full while you're never going to go back and look at it.
Starting point is 00:25:25 That's true. But you're not going to screen grab it. Okay. Because you are only allowed to look for information that you need, like, seek out. information and you have to listen to podcasts at normal speed okay i can do that possibly and you have to cook one of the recipes that you save i can do that i can do that okay oh no i can't i've got no electricity i can't do that but as soon as i do i get less electricity in water then i will do that no running water i'll do that um white lotus well it's over now haven't finished it i haven't finished it
Starting point is 00:25:56 and that's intentional why because i found this series so fucking boring what i have have struggled to watch it. That makes a lot of sense on the back of everything you've just said. Probably. It's slow. Have you watched it? That's the whole point of it.
Starting point is 00:26:13 It's supposed to be super, because my Alex said the same thing and I was like, yo, slow. Like he is the most efficient man in the world. I'm like, you are not going to derive any pleasure from your life. If this is how you operate. I'm so Alex. I am so Alex.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I know I'm surrounded by you people. But I'm like high octane. Like I need. And actually, I think it's because I think it's probably because I'm not intelligent enough. I feel like the people that get White Lotus is because you've got to have like a certain Did you see the interview that my of intelligence or like, thank you. I'm going to take that as a compliment
Starting point is 00:26:41 didn't it was meant for me but I'm going to have it. Did you see see the writer of it describing how it was written? He said I'm edging you. I'm what? I'm edging you which I believe to be a sexual term for when you bring
Starting point is 00:26:59 someone close to orgasm and then you just you know. Is that what he's doing? That's how he described it. I can't remember the full quote, but yeah, he used that word. But I really enjoyed it. I loved the pacing of it. I think it's so smartly done.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Yes, because I like a thrill that doesn't stress me out. Like, I don't want to watch something like, oh, fucky. Do you know what I mean? Like, did he rank his brother off? Like, I want to think about that for a minute. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:23 I don't want to have to like have it rammed down my case. Oh no, I want to ram it, ram it straight down my throat. I'm, that's what I'm, I can't. the ambiguity no no I I I like it a lot no I like it a lot and I just I think the space I like the little I like the little quips I love how well they're all dressed people will get it enjoy it love it not for me did you like it for me or did you find it slow I you loved it of course you did it's a very cool t-shirt oh dex I think you'd like it decks would be on your side too yeah quite often get Alex in here yeah he did
Starting point is 00:28:01 enjoyed it though he has enjoyed it but he did he kept saying like it's so slow i was like it's so slow but oh my god i hate watching tv with people that's because me and david are pretty hearty um i think i hate and it's such a familiar thing but like when you're watching something you're enjoying something with someone who isn't enjoying it it's so horrible the people please are in me dies like when he moan's about i'm like can you not because you're ruining it Like if I sense, like, if he gets up to leave and we're watching something, and I'm like, where are you going? What do you mean you're leaving?
Starting point is 00:28:37 That's hot, but it's gut wrenching that, isn't it? It's gut wrenching, yeah. I'm like, you're not. It's invested in this is what I am. And it's so sad. I'll tell you what I am enjoying, actually. It's called Atropando, I think. It's in, well, it's, you tell me it's in French.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I'm getting up and leaving. It's not, it's Spanish. It's set in Argentina. And it's all dub. No, it's subtitled. Of course it is. I'm watching that. It's a Harlan Coburn novel. It's subtitled. So it's like, it's subtitled, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:05 But it's like, it's super fast-paced. And I don't know, with all those, you've seen all the Harlan Coburn things on Netflix, right? You haven't seen them. Yeah, I don't know if I feel like they are quite hollow. I wouldn't have said that, because I don't know what you're talking about. They move, they're fast. Like you always end up a bit unsatisfied and a bit. So you're staring at the screen, you don't go on your phone or anything when you're watching it. Oh, I got my phone, of course. Oh, with subtitles. No, no, no, you've got to watch it.
Starting point is 00:29:27 But I love that then because I'm not, I don't, I'm not, I'm forced to be on my phone. Yeah. Interesting. It's fucking us up. I feel stupid and depressed. Two things. One, we're going to need to work through your own, no, three things now. One, because when I said two things, you haven't said that thing.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I think we need to pay you some help. I don't think you're stupid. But I do think the algorithm is doing a number on you too. As parents, I think we need to be very concerned about this and we need to work out what we're going to do because Jesus. Three, before we go. the white lotus thing. Amy Lou Wood's teeth have become very a talking point. I love her. I love her. But the other thing that's become a talking point just before we let you go, you man who was with Amy Lou Wood, the older fella. Yeah. He had a receding hairline.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah. And GQ have written a big thing about how receding hairlines are, like he's made them on vogue. And Turkish airlines, I don't know if it was a joke or not, but tweeted being like, oh no. Like all the teeth and the hairlines. Excellent. That's so good. Do you know, that reminds you, I've started following this girl called Tupé. How do you say it? Tupé, a Tupé Queen.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I don't know. You're the French one. Have you seen her? Oh my God. It's so good. She like, she takes, so like men come in who have receded. And generally they've like receded quite like heavily and they don't have much left on the top.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And so she shaves it completely. Oh, I've seen these. And then adds a big toupee on. And then they leave looking like, they just look delighted, like so happy, so confident. It's really cool. We've got to go. Okay, before, I want to do an episode, we do have to go. I do want to do an episode with a bald man or about this, about balding.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Like, I think it's so hard for men. It's so hard for men. It's really hard. Like, I'm really, I will be the, not the first person because I, it's not my spot. And I, I have other places to it my energy. But I will be wholeheartedly be behind any movement that celebrates men losing their hair. Not celebrates it, but like, empowers them within that. Because it must be so, huge confidence kicker.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah, they don't have what we have. They don't have, like, influences being like, hey, I'm bald and I'm chill with it. Yeah. If anyone knows any influences who are doing that, who you think could come and talk to us, let us know. Yeah. Because that would be nice. Gorge.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Thank you so much, guys. We all see, you know, on... I just lost my mind. Oh, my God. I don't even know what that was, where it came from. Maybe you're turning into... You've consumed so much content. you've just become it.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I am just turning into jelly. My brain is jelly. Do it to try again? I think you should see us out. Go on. Can I ever think it now? What? Pressure.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Pressure. What are you saying? Pressure. Doesn't sound like you said pressure. It sounds like we said pressure. Pressure with more. Oh, God. I am really just losing it.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Oh my God. We could fully gaslight you for a whole day. You're talking so funny. Why are you speaking in French, Al? I can't understand the thing you're saying. Where are you looking? You're not looking at me. What did you just say?
Starting point is 00:32:31 Oh my God, I'm going to have been fun. All right, guys, this has been great. Love you loads. See you on Monday. Bye. Should I delete that as part of the ACAS creator network?
