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.
I get triggered.
I hear pregnant.
I can't.
Sorry.
Good, bad, awkward.
Anything?
I have an awkward.
Go.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
