Yeah. Find a good ghost who, I honestly, won't ghost you. Yes. In fact, they'll turn up when you don't want them to. It's the opposite. It's actually the honest, the opposite ghosting. Yeah. Why is it called ghosting?

Oh, oh. Oh, Hannah, and yeah. Oh, my God. Spooky. There's a lot of energy here, isn't there? A lot of energy. Is it alive?

No, no. Imagine it's a sexual energy. You can just touch my set there. Yes. Something I do with all of the get, Hannah, you're not special, please. Yes. For recording, Harriet has touched a boob and also talked about how she was punched by a woman.

At a bus stop. At a bus stop. Yeah. Well, yeah. Sometimes you're the victim. Sometimes you're the victim. What can I say? It's like a caterpillar.

Because I was asking about cat fights because I was slapped on D of E because I was slow and complaining about the weight of the rucksack. Because I don't think that's okay. Because you have to have the trunger and the sleep. What? Excuse me. What the fuck is it trunders? I'm sorry. That's what I call my stick on the wall dilder.

The trundra. Is it what called that? You know the thing that you cook with? You're asking the wrong people, I think so has been no offence. The thing you cook with your camp. Do you mean camping stove? Yes. Yeah, I think it might be called.

Yeah, it's camping stove. It's like trunger. Trunger. Anyway, I'll Google that later and think about that at three in the morning. But I did have to carry it. It was very heavy. And I did talk about how heavy it was, and then she slapped me around the face at Swanage.

And did she say anything after? No, she just went, I probably shut up or something. Shut up. Shut up. It's not called a trunger. Stop, same. Too happy, stop. In fact, all three of you could slap me out.

You know, an airplane. Oh, that'd be good, wouldn't it? I slapped a guy that was dating my friend, and I saw kissing in a nightclub, another girl, and I got so overwhelmed with rage, I marched up to him and slapped him and he was actually quite scary and then he started shouting at me and I was like that was. You're like, yeah.

I was so crud. I was, yeah. Yeah. Good for you for standing up. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. I don't think I've ever seen someone be cheated on in real life.

I don't think I've ever seen that. I don't know how I would react. Oh, well, I once, this is quite bad. I think you can keep it in. I, when we were much younger, I'm going to stand by that now. When I was much younger, a friend of mine, she was like, I think my boyfriend's cheating on me. So I was like, let's get on Badoo.

That was the dating website at the time. Oh my God. I think I'm thinking of Duolingo. We'll get on Duolingo. We'll learn a new language. We'll go off and find your Spanish boyfriend. Where is the train station? Senor.

I love that. I didn't even know enough of a language to do that in a different language. Oh, there we got on Vadu, which was the one day. dating app at the time. And we set up a profile that literally had stock image on it. Like, it was so obvious. And we called the woman Porsche.

Shut up. Oh, my God. And for weeks it went on where we were messaging him. And then we met up with him and Tesco car park. And he was a bunch of flowers. You did, you were catfish. You were catfish. Before MTV catfish, you were catfish. I was catfish. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Wasn't he going out with your friend? So he was messaging this. He was messaging

Porsche. So you honey trash. We honey trashed. He turned up in the car. With her. We just pulled up and we were like, yeah, because he stood outside Tascco entrance. Holding flowers. Holding flowers.

That is so pathetic, isn't it? Yeah. Like cheating with roses. And it was just like, oh, they weren't roses. Isn't the Tasco selection? Yeah, they're going to look like spring onions. The one pound daffatils. They've not bloomed yet.

Got you a bunch of celery. I love you. A flora of broccoli. Yeah, yeah. Sort of beckier shit. Oh my God. Wow. That's so cool.

Oh, you caught him. Did he react? Was he like, really sorry? I didn't do anything. We were like, you're joking. And then she actually got back with him. No. That's the worst part, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

That's bad. I had a good experience with a boy once. What? He did a good thing. It's literally a podcast first. Yeah. We might have to cut this out. So I was going out with a guy and an older,

more attractive girl said to me, I'm going to have sex with your boyfriend tonight. And I was like, no, no, please don't. And she's just like, please, please don't. If you can help it. She was like, I think he's really fit. I'm going to get with him tonight.

And I was like, okay. And then I was going to tell my boyfriend, but then I didn't, do you know, I was young? You know, I don't want to like, I just have to be cool about it. That's what you can't communicate your feelings. So I was like, so we went to this club and she was there and she looked amazing.

And I could see, like, I was trying to, like, stay with him on. night, then I'd gone to toilet, whatever, and I'd come back, and someone had started chatting to me, and I could see behind their shoulder, he was talking to her, and my heart was like, in my throat, and I'm not listening to whatever this guy saying at all, I'm just, like, watching. And then I'm like, I'm so sorry, I've just, just, wait there, I've just got to, and I walked, and they were, like, on the dance floor, and there was, like, a pillar, and I went, like, a creep and stood near the pillar, and I was literally, like, I can't believe, I don't know what,

like, I didn't know what to do, I was just, like, watching, and I was like, he's going to, they're going to kiss and it's going to absolutely break my heart because I was in love with this boy. We've been together for like, like eight months or something. I was like, this is heartbreaking. And I just heard him go, will you leave me alone? I'm going for a shit. You're like, marry me. And then he walked past the pillar.

And I went, his name was Bob. And I was like, Bob. And he was like, oh my God, she's coming on to me. She knows that with you. I've just told her I'm going for a shit. Did he, was he going for me? Oh, well. It went to come to look for me.

Come on, Bob. Where's Bob? Come on, Bob. Bob's in Leads, I think. I know. It's a really good boss. Bob! Where's Bob?

See the one that got away? I think it might be the one that got away. Oh my God, get in touch with Bob. Bob, if you're watching. He's not. I hope you've had a shit. He's not. I think I follow him on Instagram, but he doesn't follow me back.

That's where they are. Oh, Bob's turned into a twat. What a guy, though. What a guy. He was always... It's been a minimum stuff, isn't it? I mean, we're like, he didn't cheat on you?

Exactly, yeah. Get him back in your life. We've all just done that. We've all just gone, marry him. I know, but genuinely, it's my most positive memory with a boy. Wow. And it involves him saying, I'm going for a shit.

Yeah, it's quite stressful until the end. It's stressful until the end. Yeah, yeah. I need a pro pran a lot. I don't even know what that is. But I don't know. I want to. I've got some in my bag.

I want a trunger, however. I want a picture. What is it? Oh, nice. Vita blocker. What does that do? Just chills you out a bit. Oh, like that.

You know me, I like a, love a prescription drunk. Oh, yeah. You are a pharmacy. Yeah. Are you? Yeah, I usually carry around like a bag with loads of pills

and, like, dolling them out. Everyone needs a friend like, yeah. Yeah, what do you recommend? I do like a propranolol if you'd be a bit stressed. Yeah. I tried Ritling recently, and that was phenomenal. Was it? Absolutely.

I'm never in my life. I forgot I had a gig. I'd had some few wines. My mate was like, do you want to risk? And I was like, oh, you gave me all. I was like, oh, shit, I've got a gig. So I got to this gig,

and it was five minutes away from where I live. And I got there, like, half an hour early. And normally at that point, I'd have a wine and just sit down and stare into space. Yeah. But I was like, how long have I got to them on stage?

And then, like, half an hour. I was like, I'm going to go back home and do some work. And I just went, I just went like this. Got back home. And I was like, oh, God. She's on it now.

I'm too written. And it was just, I got to sit, I was like, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I was just like, my thoughts were all, oh, my God, loved it, yeah. Did my 20 minutes set in eight minutes? The most efficient. She's gone off.

I had a bug for five minutes. Did all my joke? So quick. Nobody had time to hear it, but I got through them all. He was brilliant. Yeah, I thought I had a great gig. I was like, oh God. It's what a horrific time.

I was like, what? Why did she come on with her life? Why was she typing the whole gig? That was so weird. She had a printer. Yeah. Oh, don't. This is Harriet's biggest thing.

What printers? I'm really, I'm looking for a man with a printer. Oh, yeah. It's a real plus. In the same rhythm as that. I'm looking for a man in finance. I'm looking for a man with a printer. Laminator.

Flaminator. Tax machine. Wow, yeah. That is right. That is good. Yeah, I've got a list. It's one of the things I'm looking for. Right.

My boyfriend lives in a building one is a conciergeant. They have printers 24-7. Oh, I just need a conge. Yes. Yes. You're going to move. Yes. Yeah.

Oh, God. Yeah. What else is on your list? It's mainly printer. Printing services. And taking packages back. Someone who's good with packages. I could spend a whole day just dealing with my packages.

You know when you have to return packages. And then you have to print off the thing and then you have to stick it to the right place and then work out which bag goes in where and which post office. I can't do it. So he would do that for you. He would do that for me. Somebody who's good with the stuff, I'm bad. at.

Oh, I see. They're going to need to be good at a lot of things. I don't think I've been to be. I know. I'm so bad at returning. No,

I'm pretty. You looked at me like that you felt so sorry for me like it was so like my whole family's dead. You've never printed anything. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm not.

You never send stuff back? No, no, I'm really bad at it. Do you just order it and you're like, three? Oh, no, that's really weird. What? Oh my God. That just died.

That was moving. And now it stopped. And now it's stopped. Whoa. There's a ghost. There's a ghost. There's a ghost. You're not.

We actually need to focus and talk about ghosts, I think. Fuck all the printing shit. Ghost and relationship. Because all we've talked about so far is friends and getting punched. It's a match. That was weird, though. That was weird. I need to just, the plant's moving now.

Oh, do you know what? I think it's me. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, everything's moving. You're knocking it. No, no, cut that out. It wasn't me.

To be fair. We'll keep an eye. We'll keep an eye. Have you both seen a ghost? It's still moving and you're not near it. Oh, it is. She started a wobble effect. The wobble effect.

The butterfly effect. What's that called? The butterfly effect. Right. Yeah. You were so close. That does sound right. I'm still thinking of trundra.

Yeah. The trundra effect. Have you? I've never seen a ghost. Well, I mean, I know the answer. You must have discussed this. You must have imagined. Imagine we're like, we haven't talked about it.

Three and a half years into the pond, I'm like, have you seen? Have you? Imagine. Shit. Well, I think we've seen things, but you're a, you don't really. I think you're more sensitive to it. Yeah. I've heard.

I've heard. I've heard. Sorry. Ritzen. Every noise. We've heard things, felt things. Well, you've had a, you've had a poke in the back. Thanks, fuck.

And this is where the overlap comes. Yeah. Wow, we. So, um, Ghost. Ghost. Ghost. A ghost.

Ghost. Yeah. Ghost. Yeah. I was poked in the back in Devon. You. I'm sorry. Stoke Fleming.

It posed me in the back. Where were you? Stoke Fleming. No. I know, but like in a pub. And my back was to like the window recess. So how could anywhere... What's a window recess?

Well, it's an alcove. Oh. So where you put a trunger? Trunty. I'm honestly, I'm so wordy today. I'm so impressed on myself. And I got poked in the back and then we heard, hello.

On a recording or the ghost hunt we did in the place where they film. A few of them we heard it. Hello. And then we heard it. Great. Great. we were looking for a trap door and it was supportive which is nice.

Fire great. You're smashing. Great. Oh, I see. Yeah. Because we were like, well, that's a trap door. As in great on the floor. Oh, does that what you think? I for sure it was like, great. No. No, I thought it was to do

with where the trap door was. Have you two ever talked? No. I don't know who that is. Yeah, it's weird. But recently, the last goes to, we did, we went to that pub and it was talking to you. Yeah, it was.

Yeah, the vine in Stokon Trent. Yeah, it was really weird. So there was this haunted pub called the vine in Stokon Trent. And I was doing that thing of being like, if anyone's there, give me a sign. The lights went off. No, no. And then they came back on and I shat my pants and then the dog jumped off the sofa on the chair and knock the camera over. So that smashed to the floor and we all like nearly shut our pants.

Oh, my God. Check it out on Patreon. Always business. There she is. Yeah, but then they were communicating with me. So as I was going into like all to the other rooms, like you were being like, is anyone there? Yeah.

Doing a thing. And then I go, are you now in this room? And then the lights would go down. In the other room. In the other route. So it was like leading us around to the pub. It was really weird. And I'm not usually like the sensitive.

No. But what about you guys? Have you ever had any like ghosty? No. Are you scared? Are you scared of it? I'm really scared. Yeah.

Are you? Yeah. I'm really scared. Do you believe in them? Well, I don't want to say no. Because I don't want to annoy them. Yeah. I think they're wonderful.

I respect to their choices. No, I get, I really get. Yeah. I couldn't, I don't think I could exist in a space and just calmly ask, are you there? No. I wouldn't ask. Yeah.

I used to work at the York Dungeon. So you spend a lot of time in the dark, listening to like horror sounds. And it's meant to be a. scary place. And in winter, when you're an actor there, you spend like an hour on your own because no audience has come around.

So you just sat in the down. And you do kind of go slightly mad. Yeah. In the dungeon. Well, you like dressed up as like ye oldie made and like all that. I was a plague victim. Don't worry about it. Like a sort of like a spot sexy plague thing.

Yeah, sexy boils. Yeah. With a bit of eye line underneath. Yeah. I did use to put. a bit of eyeliner on and mascara still, even though I was dressed as a zombie, because once a kid came round

and I had my eyes fully opened and he went, why is that lady got her eyes closed? Oh, how annoying. Right. I've got small eyes. I get it. I'll put my mascara on. But I'd been working there about two years

so I wasn't scared at all anymore. And then there was this one day when like, for whatever reason I was terrified and I kept going, hello, thinking like somebody was like, because there was loads of curtains and like secret passageways and stuff. This york?

Yeah. That's really haunted. Yeah. And I was going, hello? And then I was getting freaked out for no, like literally no reason. But I was like really freaked out. And I had to go to another zombie actor on their position and be like, I feel really scared.

I'm kind of sick with you? I feel really scared. And they were like, what? And I was like, I just feel like there's just a weird thing. Well, everyone is dressed up as like plague victims. Yeah, everyone's like pretending to be on dead. It's a bit weird here for all these screaming sound effects. I'm scared a bit.

I feel a bit weird. But then Anna, who is the woman who was incredible, who would go around and make all the displays. So she'd be in this building at night and before anyone came in. And it's a scary building. It's an old school with a dungeon. Defo haunted. It's defo haunted.

But she was like hard as nails because she was just, she'd been working there for years and years and years. And she came round. And I was like, you were right? And she was just like, it's weird today, isn't it? And I went, it is somewhere. I said, I feel scared. And she went, well, you will do.

She said, we've got ghost hunters coming in tonight. And they have it, like, once every couple of years. And she was just like, the ghosts don't like it. And if they know they're coming to be investigated, they play up. And that day, and I didn't know ghost hunters was coming in or anything like that. Like, it was the freaky, it was honestly the freakiest day. And all of us was like, hello? And it was like our place, it's like being scared now.

It was so strange. But, yeah. And then she was like, oh, yeah. no, you will be scared. They're playing up today. And it was like, oh, my God. And when they say it so normally, when they say it like off hands.

Yeah, well, she was from Hall as well. And she was like, oh, yeah, playing up today. And you're like, someone from Hall is scared. In a way, that's quite bad because if they don't like ghost hunters, then we're, every time we're pissing them off. Yeah, well, we do bring them everywhere.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you were bringing a scary vibe, though. Yeah. I don't know if the ghosts are like quaking in their boots. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I walked in and ever been slapped. Yeah. Yeah, that is a close. Yeah. This story was about you being slapped. It wasn't. Has anyone ever been slapped? Because I have.

That's my conversation started, guys. It's my lifebreaker. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Yeah, we were scared. Do you find this quite like a community in the ghost? What I'm asking is, do fit boys? No. No.

No. No. No. No. Then I don't believe. They've been through about seven divorces and they're really bitter. Oh. A lot of them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're just like... Don't believe in love. They believe in the afterlife. Yeah, yeah. And they're... Do you remember the Myra Hindley guy? Yeah, I was just thinking about that.

Yeah. Because he was just like, Mara's here. And we were like, don't do that. We were like... And actually, all the people to like... Speaking of getting... Nour. It's myra.

She's here. And she likes you. And then look. at you and he were like, for fuck's sake. He was like, he was trying to tell Hannah that Myra was hitting on her. Yeah. And then he was like, just go and stand in the corner.

And I was like, what? He was not just going to stand in the corner. And then he was like, Mara, if you're here, hit her. I was like, what? Hit her? I was like, oh my God. I do not consent. Although I'm not sure she's that bothered about that.

But I was like, do not hit me. But Fox 8 was horrific, wasn't it? And he was like, my name's Dave, driver white band. Really? Everyone's his medium. So let's go on with it. Yeah, it was really bad. Oh my God.

No, we've had some really good, like, ghost hunter. Like, some of them are cool and fine and all that. But, like, there are a lot of people like that. Okay. Where you're like, oh, you're mad. So it's not the place to go to pick up our future. I wouldn't. Although you are very welcome to come on a ghost toy.

Yeah, we should. We would be really scared. But we don't want to. There's so many places we want to go. Yeah, come on and do it with us. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm not really missed dating, actually.

You've got to get in there and sniff them. How long have you been with your boyfriend? About three and a half years. Wow. Too long. So, it's three and a half. Oh, it's the age of the pod? Yeah, because I just started dating at the beginning.

Yeah, yeah. Comedy. I saw him on stage and I was like, God, he's a bit rough. And then I chopped me around a bit. And then he's turned out to be one of the most sensitive men who has a dog in a handbag. Oh. So like not a bit of rough at all.

And then trapped me into a relationship. Oh God, I'm so sorry. Thank you. I wish he was rough and horrible to you. What a horrible piece of shit. I love that. No, he was very, but it was quite nice because when we went on our first date at the end,

he was like, so when are you next three? I was like, do we not? Do you like gameplay? And he was like, yeah, I've had a nice time. When do we want to go out again? And then I was like, I don't know, Tuesday. He's like, cool, see you Tuesday. And then I met him on Tuesday.

And he was like, well, he was like, well, doing with the rest of your day and I was like oh not much really he was like good you can come to my birthday party I was like that's a bit much oh my god it's quite refreshing isn't it he's just a little bit like I don't want to come to your birthday party was it his birthday that you met out with no it was like his yeah yeah he's a couple of days after yeah um yeah that's lovely I mean he is very he cries at everything he's a very sensitive boy he's very he flinched sometimes if I'm a bit loud You know what I mean?

Like it's all. Wow. You think he has a posh accent and I'm convinced he's like proper cockney. Yeah, well everyone says he's posh. No one ever says he's cockney.

But I would prefer a cockney. I think he's really like Accus and pace. Yeah. But that's because you're quite posh as well so like your posh is here, Adam's posh is quite here. I'm there.

So I can, I can, I can, you're just, Susie's very classic that's what you have to know this. Right. Okay. He's very common.

Very common. Got you. Got you. It's common. It's common. It's common. Very common. Very sensitive.

Yeah. Wow. So when you saw him on stage, I thought it was a bit of rough. Yeah. How did you make the first move? Well, he had a girlfriend at the time. Oh.

Oh, I wouldn't do anything about it. Yeah. It was quite interesting. But this is when I did know he was a green flag, although it was quite annoying. Not annoying. But anyway. Yeah.

So I was like, I'll quite fancy him. And then my mate had said, I know he's seeing someone. definitely and I was like, I'll forget about that. Yeah. And then the next year in Edinburgh, she was like, I think they've broken up. So I was like, great, I'll go to his show.

And then after, she was like, I'll introduce you properly. And then I went and he was like, I've got to go meet my girlfriend anyway. She's just coming from her. I was like, oh. But like didn't even, he was just so focused on. That's nice. Going to go and I was like, I've got to go out of a shit. I've got to go out of a shit.

Then I'm going to get my girlfriend. And then, yeah, when they broke up. Wait, it's all making sense to that woman. Yeah. You're both. Hold on a minute. I'm bad, bitch. Is your boyfriend?

Imagine it was Bob. Oh my God. We wouldn't have a real fight. She's scared? Very sweet. And then he, yeah, they broke up. So I think my mate was like, Hannah Fantasage is.

And it was all bit like, Hannah Fonty's you, do you, Fentzy, on it. And then, yeah, went on. Ben, my mate, fancy, Z. Yeah. Well, I did the same with you. Yeah, you did actually.

Yeah, you did play Cupid a bit. Go on. You both are sweet boyfriends. It's so sweet. It's really sweet boyfriends. What's the story here, please? It was quite bad, really. Well, not bad.

No, it was quite. It was bad. Basically, Susie used to run a gig and Susie's boyfriend Neil. I was like, can we say, isn't it? Like, he does know that he's in a relationship with you, so yet we can't do it.

Neil's surprise. Susie's like a really fancy Neil. And I was like, oh, right, great. We should sort this out. So at Susie's gig after, we got a bit pissed. Neil was there. And then he was like, oh, I'm off anyway.

And we were like, oh, sad. So then I said, I've got a really good idea. Well, I didn't know if he had a girlfriend because he wasn't that chatting off of gigs. So I didn't really know much about him. I just knew I fancied him. But I was like, how do we find out if he's got a girlfriend? And Hannah's like, oh, I've got it. What we'll do is we'll set up a pretend gig.

And it's for single people only. And we'll ask him to do it. And if he says, yes, we'll know that he's single. And I was like, that is a really good idea. I'm like, well, venues, time. We made up a gig. It's so toxic. And at midnight,

and at midnight, Hannah DM'd him, went, oh, hey, Neil, so good to see. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy, old pal. Just wondering, good to see you. Adam's running a single night for single people. No, I said I was at first. I said, I'm running this gig.

On Valentine. My boyfriend's running a single night. Are you interested? That's what I mean it was, because I said, no, I've got this gig. Oh, my God. It's for Tinder. or something,

and only single performers can perform. Do you want to come and do it? And at the time, he was with someone, wasn't it? And that's how we found out it was with someone. So, that's my back saying, I'm actually with someone, but I can do something like... It's actually lucky, otherwise you would have had to all go. A gig on.

Well, I really got rid of it because he was like, oh, no, I'm not single. But I can do that single material. I'm like, yeah, no worries. Adam's actually running. So we'll be in touch. You'll be in touch. And then at the gig that I ran in Ballam,

He was doing like a 10 minute spot. And it was like, this was about like, I don't know, like four months later. And like as part of his set, he went, so I've just gone through a breakup. And at the back of the room, I went, I actually. Yes. I did an audible gas. I was like, I wonder you heard that? And then I was like, oh, my God.

And then it all kind of went from there because I was like, well, like, because, you know, obviously like if you're doing a gig, you don't know if people are like, actually. But it was, you know, it was new material while that. So I was like, I'm assuming. Oh, my God. Yeah. And then you hung around off that gig? Yeah, and then I was like,

oh God, I'm going to have to ask him because I don't think he's the type of person to be front-footed enough to be like, I think it would have, I was like, I'm just going to have to do it. And then we got trashed in Richmond. Yeah. And you were like, just send a text, send the text,

or the DM. Because is there anything more fun than like being a bit pissed up in the sun and then be like, I was so scared. So what did you say in the message? It was the scariest thing I've ever done. It was like, oh, hey,

um, hey, My friends run in a gig. Did you say something like, can we hang out outside of comedy? I said something like, not to do with a gig, but if you fancy getting a drink. And then I said something like, and if it's a no, assume like a ghost sentence. We'd like, we'd chat about ghosts, whatever. And so. There was a vibe before.

There was a beer, yeah. You're not just going on your imagination. Well, I just know. You never know. You never know. He was just. He's quite unassuming. So I was like, he could just be quite, because he's,

Irish, so Irish people are just charming anyway. Yeah, he's just, I was like, maybe he's charming to everyone. So I was like, I don't know. So this was the, I would say in terms of like my dating life, it was the scariest thing I've ever done. But that's so, I love that. We love that. But I reckon go for it.

If you have a crush, just go for it. Because I was, I was honestly petrified, wasn't I? Yeah. And it's a good way of doing it because we've been talking about good ways of like messaging someone. No, no. Make up a gig. We found bad ways.

Yeah. And so that's pretty good ways of examples. of things to do. It's just a message and say, do you fancy a drink? A drink. It's actually quite simple. That's actually,

yeah, now you've said it like that. Yeah, now you've said it. I should know, a lot of sense. We've spent a long time brainstorming this. Yeah, two years. Two years. And now it's...

About the same time you've been in a relationship, really. Just trying to work it out, yeah. Yeah, so I was saying... The message. Because I... I get like these, like, moments of, like, impulsivity.

And I'm like, I'm just going to say, Do you want to fuck? Yeah. And everyone's like, just calm down. Because there might be like... Tuesday did this without a moment. No.

No. No. No. Stop. Stop. Stay back. Please. Yeah.

And that because I can't... I'll go from like nothing, nothing, nothing. Being too scared to flirt. And then I get these impulses to just be like, so we just... I'll just come around to you else. No.

We don't have to even tell anyone. So why am I adding that to the equation? Like, why am I going to point into their head? Yeah. It would be so embarrassing for them to fuck me. That I think they should keep. But a secret. No.

We mustn't do this. Such a journey. I think if we could get this template. Yeah. Could you send me that message? It's got ghosts in it. Oh yeah. No, I think that's still good.

Oh yeah. If not a ghost. It's a bit more random, I'd say, from. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, oh God, she's cooking and that's all. What? I'm going to message.

And, you know, a lot of people have crushers on our comedians. And I'll just be like, hello, my friend is running a gig. Yeah. And really need single audience members. Do you want to fuck me? A ghost said that. Goodbye. Write it down.

Just block me now. We'll get the original one from Suzy. Yeah, all right. Been up to much this weekend. Do you think you have more crushes on comedians or non-comedians? It used to be exclusively comedians, which was a real problem. And only in the last year have I gone, I don't want to date a comedian.

No. God's sake. I really genuinely don't want to. It's a real risk. But you've got very nice, sweet ones. And they're not, there's not many of those. I know. No, they are very sweet. I reckon if he did turn out to be a cheating, horrible bastard,

I just couldn't date again. I'd have to do Enia and go to the castle. Yeah. Get the cats, live alone. Because I'm like... It's hard to imagine that of Neil. Neil's not... Yeah, I think you're okay.

I'm pretty 100% sure. But if it does, then you're like, well, there's no... Well, that's why, if he did, you'd be like, like, well, I can't call it. Yeah, I can't call it. I just don't know what you're trying. If Adam did that to me, I'd be like, yeah, fair enough, because. He's common. He's common.

Fair enough. He's just a common guy. I'm sorry, Adam. You're not really common. Yeah. A typical cockney guy. Yeah, he's just such a fucking blast. I don't know if I've met Adam.

He's usually got a dog in a bag with him. So he's pretty. He sounds incredible. Yeah, he's pretty. To be fair, he was a pretty obvious guy. Okay, okay. Okay, okay. That's all I can describe him as really.

And very nice. But yeah, if you cheated, I'd be like, I'm just going to. But comedians on the whole, I would say, like, I remember when I fancied Neil, I was like, I wish I didn't. Yeah. Because the comedian thing is like, it's a road to hell, isn't it? It's a fiery, fiery hell. So I would say divorce. Not me.

No, it's it. I wouldn't say it. Some people might say it, based on my experiences, yes. But it's hard though, isn't it? It's our work. It's like meeting someone at work and, like, where else you, like, I don't know. This is it. It's the people you're hanging around with.

Yeah. What were your relationship's histories like before your nice partner's night? I dated another comedian. It was not a good experience. But then before that, I suppose I had a phase. I had a couple of boyfriends from back home. And then when they ended, I moved to London. And then I fucking loved dating.

Did you? I loved it. I would just date, date, date, date. I loved it. It was, oh, absolutely brilliant. Mainly tender. Yeah. But like, I just, I only really cared about how they looked physically.

I loved that. Why not? I didn't care about that. And they were proper sick. Really? Some other were real dense. But I was having such a good time. You know what I mean?

I was just like, sleeping about it. Swipey, swipey. Yeah. You've got like... That was me. Yeah, I loved it. There was one time that I thought that things might be going a different way.

I'd started seeing this guy and on our first date we had like three bottles of wine each. Aye, aye. It was so fucked up. Plus the rittling. That's really... Yeah, it was...

Yeah, and the prescription... Yeah, the prescription... surprised you woke up at all. So we did that a few times. And then on like the third time we went out and got pissed, I was like, God, I think I'm going to have to like stop drinking for a bit. And he said the first 24 hours of hell, but after that it gets better.

And I was like, what do you mean? And he was like, I think I could do 24 hours. And he was like, you're an alcoholic? He was like, oh, yeah. And I was six months sober before I bet. Oh, shit. You're keeping up with someone on a bend. Yeah.

Yeah. He was like, oh, yeah, I was six months sober before I met you. Because I remember being like, have a wine, have a wine, have a white, boss. We kind of just stopped seeing. It was in rehab. It was about four months, three or four months later when I totally forgot about him, moved on to the next thick, blah, that one. And I got this text off him saying, can we meet up?

And I was like, yeah. And I said to all mates, I was like, God, this guy can't get enough. I just absolutely obsessed with me. Obsessed with me. And he was like, let's go for a coffee. And we went for a coffee in a butcher shop. Sorry. They do coffee.

They do coffees in butcher shop. He was like, I know about this great little place. A steak and a lattice. It seems to be like a trap, I will say. Yeah, raw steak, though. It seems a bit like you're about to be murdered. Yeah. It's okay, fine, like, whatever.

And I got there and I had a black coffee and I was like, just sat there with it. And I'm going to have to stay in him town. And what shame. This poor guy's going to be. heartbroken. And he sat down and I've got this steaming hot coffee and he was like, I'm not going to be able to see you anymore because my sponsor says you're a bad influence. To be fair you were.

Yeah, but we haven't seen it. Oh my God. Just have to be fair you were. It wasn't getting any cool. It's been like, how are things? Oh no. After I've been dumped in a butcher shop. Wow.

After not seeing him for four months. We weren't even texting. But I was like, has your sponsor told you to this? Yeah. It's very evocative the image just you surrounded by a load of pigcocks. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just dead to meet everything. Yeah. It's like red wine mouths to make a lot. Pouring some whiskey into everyone. That's fucking cool.

I don't know what you're talking about. Oh God. Yes, that was an experience of mine. Been dumped when you're not with them. When it wasn't with them. Yeah. That's so rude. Yeah.

So annoying. That's rude. I didn't even want you anyway. And a text comes like way later and they're like, sorry, I don't think it's for me. I'm like, got that. I got it. Yeah. You know when you ran away?

You ghosted me for three weeks. Honestly, someone ran away from me on a date. Wait, was it brought me? Was it poor? No, does he run? Is he a runner? He's a run apparently. He says, should we go for coffee?

And then they go for coffee. And then he just starts jogging. Right into a bush. And he just runs away. And then he starts slowly sprinting. And then he's gone. gone. And he's gone. I really hope it's true.

I hope it's true. Why? We were outside the, like, Ephra Social in Brixton, and it was a sunny day, having a beer, and I was like, this was a while ago, we were just like, I don't know, like talking about him turning 30 or something. And then he was like, yeah, I'm actually having a bit of dread about it. And I was like, oh, it's going to be all right.

You know, like, it's fine. No, no, I'm actually really dreading it. Actually, and then he ran. Shut up. He ran. He ran. I would have loved you'd see your face. And I sat up. And I had to get that bus back up. Streatham Hill.

I was like, I was just texting my mate Chris, and I was like, I think someone just ran away from me on a date. And he was like, what did you mean? And I was like, no, he actually, he ran. That's so funny. Were you halfway through the, you were halfway through the drink? I had my beer, yeah, yeah. Oh my God.

He just ran. And then tried to justify it like a week later. It was like, oh, sorry about that. She liked to go for another drink. And I was like, no. No, thank you. No, because you're running again. That's so funny.

You're running down. You're running. You'll get away from me again. Where there people around, like, watching? Well, I don't think they noticed it. Yeah. I think it was like the mescal jog into sprint. It's a walk.

And then off. Was it your first date with him? Yes. Oh my God. It's really good. I'm sorry it happened to you. Yeah. It's a perfect story.

It's a perfect story. I live near there. The idea of you getting the bus. I know the bus route. Yeah. I can see it. The 50s. Yes.

I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking nuts. Yeah. What a guy. I know.

And then sent me a war on drugs playlist to be all like romantic. I was like, fuck off. Like, you ran. Come on now. These are the songs I listened to as I was running away from you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. One of them is called like, like, pain. Oh, my God, come on now.

I know. So what about your dating history? Let's try, apart from this. It was like, what's true about from this. We'll just shrink of boys. A lot of shitter. To be fair, yeah. I actually went on a previous boyfriend who I shall not name. I think I crashed a date. He went on with his work colleague as we were out. We were like, you know, together like two years. Oh my God. And I was like, what? And then, because they were meeting up in the day and they had drinks all Saturday. And then like four hours in. I was like, I don't know if I liked that. So I turned up and like had a beer with them. But they were like, it was like I was crashing a date. They were like, oh, hey. I was like, oh, like, are we all okay? And they were like, yeah, we might come and see your gig later,

but I'm not sure we will, will we? And they would like, look at each other and plan around and they didn't. And I remember leaving that being like, yeah, and then they're together now. Shut up. Really? Yeah, yeah. But I was like, oh, I definitely was on a date with them, as in like they were on a date and I joined it. Like third wheeling in your own relationship.

I'd rather a runner. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, where's Josh? Yeah. Yeah. Bring him back. Oh, my God.

I know. And did you confront him about this? I did. Yeah, I brought it up, but he did the classic. No, no, no, no. You're being crazy. She's a friend. Yeah, what?

I can't have female friends. Yeah. You've got your fingers inside them. Yeah, exactly. I do throw all the lines, didn't we? And do you send each other play a Spotify song. Yeah, they would. Shut up.

That's not something. I've never once sent you a Spotify song. No. No. And you're my mate. I've never once gone. I know. I think it's a very, like, emo-y, like, old school flirt.

Yeah. Yeah. And at late at night as well. Oh, get fucked. Get fucked, yeah. So that was weird. Fuck him. Yeah.

But then, you know, and I feel like justify her. I'm fine. Get, um. And then Susie just ran off. Bye. Do you kiss someone? Amy, you just got a lunge. Well, what's going on with your dating journeys?

Any runners? Any... What's going on? We are both single. Yeah. But you have to remain so for the part. We're really genuinely not trying to. I can't stress that enough.

Like, we're genuinely like trying. Yeah, but I think the thing is we're trying to get the love of our lives. We're not trying to just be in anything. So it's like taking the time. I think for the story. I'm just trying to literally get anyone. Okay. Hurry and say anything high.

I can never tell anyone about it. Actually, you've got to be. that runner's number. You're like, see him his feeling anywhere. You could get fit the same time.

Do the marathon to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He rooms off I chase him. That's how I get fit. That's what you should have done. I know.

Just chased him up the hill. It's not in me. Fuck. Okay, so yeah, so... I think, to be honest, I think it would be interesting for the pod when there is like an update.

It's a big round dog saying. Oh, my God. Are you on the other? Yeah. Yes. What are they like? I think you're not doing the apps properly. Not properly.

You're not really on the apps. Again, it's this impulsive thing. I'll go like, I'm going on the apps. Tonight's the night. And I re and I spruce up my profile. We did have Stephen Bailey on who looked at my profile. I was like, okay, so this picture's mental. And I was like, oh, I took that in a graveyard.

Oh, yeah. And it was like, get rid of that. And I was like, okay. So I occasionally like spruce it up. I'm spruce up. I'm spruce up my profile. I'll go on the arts. I'll match. I'll send loads of messages.

and then I'm bored and I'm busy for a week and then by the time I've gone on the marriage it's done it's hard far far as yeah it's just for me it takes too long

this is why I want to send the immediate text of like would you like to have sex tonight right now yeah yeah I'm sort of like a now or never yeah yeah I'm like let's do it now or the problem is it has become never

it has become never I'm like a never girl never or never do you want to not have sex with me now or not have sex with me later Oh, I'm so jealous. I loved being single. I'm actually loving.

I love it. I love it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm actually loving. I'm dating kind of properly. It's taken a long time. Like, it's literally taking me like two years to be able to, like, date properly.

But yeah, now I'm properly doing it. So you're going out and wrecking the time in. Like, I am like properly doing all the boring stuff, I think. Are you? She's doing really good. Yeah, but I think, yeah, but there's, also a load of just like accountants. Oh, really?

It's mainly hedge fund managers and I don't even know what. Oh, in my head it's like three different presenters. Let me tell you the first person that came up, the very first person that came up, you'll have to like beep it out on you, but it was just such like a niche thing. The first person that came up was sth. Who's that? Like a rapper or like a drum and bass. I don't know, but I just saw like, and I was like, I'm out my depth.

That's so funny. Can't do it. No, this is too much for me. That's so funny. Does it cost you money, Irea? Yeah, yeah. It's money, yeah. Oh my God, how much?

Can you say? Maybe it's worth it, though. You're investing in something that's worth it. You might meet the love of your life. That's it. But it's not like it's better than hinge, I would say. No. It's not like I haven't had like more dates from it.

I've had the thing is, which I really like, but I think is one of my. problems. I really like the idea of having like long distance stuff, like things that can never really work. Oh yeah. And on Ryah, you can sort of like put what city. So I'm always like looking in LA and like, who's hot in New York? And then I'll message like just like the fittest like basketball player or like professional athlete in New York. And I'm like, this is great. Obviously I'm never going to. That's not going to be the look at my life. But that's quite a romantic way to do it. Because you're like maybe there's a life for me being like,

yeah, basketball player's wife in LA. God, I would love that. God, I would love court side. Yeah. Yeah. Just do with Taylor Swift and just get into it. Oh, God, she's nailed it. She has, yeah. She has, yeah.

Who doesn't live anywhere near you. I don't know. I think there's something a bit, I shouldn't say that. What, him? Do you think? No. There's a bit behind the eyes, yeah. No.

Really? I think he looks like in that world. No, you don't know that well I don't know Matt well because I however We're out for fucking Waka Mom's every Thursday Wackermas and Travis Kelsey Can't see again Travis

Come on everyone move up to shared table Oh he's doodling again No you're right I don't know that well either So I shouldn't really say I haven't even seen that many pictures Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think it looks like he could have killed.

Wow. No, but when he does the little dances, have you seen him do the little dances? Yeah, I just think he looks like he's had a bung on the head. Oh, dear. That's what came out with him and his ex-girlfriend when he was like being a bit like, oh, you've had another wine or something. He was being a bit neggy. No.

And then that came out and that's when I went, oh, no, is he a bit of a wronging? But they do seem very in love. They do seem very in love. So, and maybe they're like, her rules the world. Do you know what I mean? She don't need to worry. No. I mean, if he cheats then.

He'll go through a trapdoor into it. Like, if he does anything wrong, I genuinely believe he will be like... I think he's gone through a few trap doors on his own. He'll be... Yeah. Just fall through normal doors. Such a good personality to race. Not another one.

Where are they coming from? Every time Travis Kelsey walks down the street. Oh, he's down the hole again. You got to get him out. We need the ghost one where we needed the trap door. Yeah. Travis? Yeah.

No, find it like a snuffling who. I'll ask him next time we're having dumplings. Yeah. Amy, we've got to get out there. He's been so nice, having you here? I know, this has been lovely. It's been so nice. Small person.

We'll get you on a ghost hunt. Yeah. Loat to wine. Ghosts and golly. Yeah. And maybe some fit ghosts. Well, yeah, we could definitely find you one. Oh, yeah.

The amount of stories we had about people shagging ghosts. What? What do you mean? Like, physically. We've had loads of, we've had loads of sexy ghost stories, haven't we? Yeah, people marrying ghosts, fucking ghosts. A lot of like, he sexed me in my sleep. Yeah, yeah.

They had a dream. I don't know why I said it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you pissed yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You pissed yourself in the night. But we can definitely try. Oh, I'd love that.

How often do you go on hunts? We do them like once a month-ish. Yeah. Up to Ireland soon to go to like spooky, like. like, dobb and cork and all that. Oh my God. There's loads of ghosts in Ireland. Is there?

Yeah, apparently. And York. York is like, York's riddled with them. Yeah. I bet you've got a few attached from your time in the dungeon. That's the most haunting thing I've ever heard. By the same. Like they follow you about.

Because we have it, we've got a Ouija board. Shall I run away? The problem is we've got a Ouija board and we use it all the time. We never close it down properly. We never open. Oh. Come on, she went, your Ouija board is filthy. Not like, you've got a dirty Ouija board.

Not like physically covered in shit, but like, yeah. She was like, have you ever closed this down? We were like, no. It's like having loads of tabs open. Yeah, yeah. You're saying that what you might have done is you might have brought in some attachments here. For God's sake.

Now we're haunted. Yeah. Yeah. Because I've seen loads of ghosts in my house. Loads. You've seen them. I've seen. Do you know what?

I've got this thing where I see something and I'm like, well, that's that then goes to exist. And then as time goes by, I kind of forget how it made me feel. Yeah. Because the one thing I've seen is my brother poke his head around the side of the staircase, like in the dark, but the hallway light was on. And the staircase goes up and round. And I saw him do that. And I was like, oh, we're back. And my mum was like, who you're talking to?

I was like, Harry. She was like, he's at the pub. He's not here. Is he alive? He's alive? Yes. No. My mom was like,

You've forgotten that he's dead. Stupid bitch. It's my life. It's a bloody rittling. These prescription drugs. Oh shit. Wow. You saw your own brother, but...

Well, I saw someone put the head around the corner, and it looked like my brother's like, because that's what he always does. And... Your house is pretty haunted. Outside. Is it? No, inside.

And the house. Where is your house? It's in Stoke. Scary things and ghosts. But I was so confused. convinced that there was something there that I made my dad check under the beds because I was like, I don't think it's a ghost. I think there's someone in the house, like robbing us.

So my dad had to check all the wardrobes, everything. And I have to go back there and stay on my own sometimes. I absolutely shit myself. Really? Yeah, I sing I could do as I walk up to the front door. And I was like, nothing bad can happen to what I could do. That can't, like, that can't be getting killed by a ghost can't happen if I'm thinking what are the chances.

Yeah, no way. I get that. It's really funny thinking about the ghost buster soundtrack. And I'm thinking of your sound trying to do a few as I can do. I think it sums it up perfectly. Oh, my God. Because if I run up the stairs and start freaking myself out, then I have to take another propranol.

Oh, God. And I start getting really scared because I'm like, something's behind me. Yeah. And then, so I have to go upstairs. I'm going, too, too, otherwise because that out. You have to do the dance as well. Your melatonin gummies.

Like, get me melatonin gummies out. Yeah. Yeah. It's terrifying. Oh, I don't want to come to your heart. No, thank you. Thank you. But we're doing, actually.

Thank you. Sorry, sorry, can't be there. Oh, was that, Raya? Where can people... You're doing live shows? We're doing a Halloween live show on the 10th of October. Yeah, the 11th. I can't remember.

It's a Sunday. Amazing. Yeah, fucking grand. And people can find you on Instagram. Both of your individual Instagram. Yes. Hannah Bichowski, spelled bitch. Full stop.

No one can spell my actual name. No one can spell my actual name, but it is pronounced bitch, Kofsky. Correct. So it's just bitch. It's bitch. Nice. She's bitch.

I'm slag. At slag. I'd love that. Yeah. That's probably taken. It's definitely taken. Yeah. No, I'm just at Susie Priest.

And at Ghost Hans Pod, if you want to see. Yeah. You know, the scary shit. Yeah. Yeah. And the sexy stuff. And sexy stuff. It's,

sexy and scary. Both of our podcasts are sexy and scary. A very different way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. No. No. God, no. Well, there we have it. I loved it. I loved it. I think they're so funny and that was such a fun atmosphere for me at least. I don't know about the listeners or whether they had a nice time, but I had a lovely time. Me too. Maybe foursums are the way to go, you know?

Yeah, maybe that's something we should try. Have you ever tried more than... We haven't even talked about it. We don't need to talk about it now. But I just never... I don't think we've ever talked about it. We've never got anyone on to talk about it. No, just interesting.

It is interesting. We should do an episode about that. About multiple lovers. Let's work on finding one first, I think. Oh, we do need to get... It will be a bit rubbing it in our face if somebody who's got a load. It was a bit like when Jack came on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I enjoy sex with multiple people. How? How? How? But you should listen to the Ghost Ons podcast. It is so good, so entertaining. They're so funny.

I would say if you're interested in meeting some very angry people, they will be at the show and they will be mad as hell. Tickets are available at nishcamore.coma.com.ukh. None of this is legally binding. You may not meet your live partner at one of Nishkamars tour shows.
