and we banged in the hot tub we're more worried about being factually correct about the shape of
his penis hi welcome back to t4 i'm lauren i'm christy and this is the podcast where we talk
all things that should have stayed in the group chat this episode we're talking about all things
nostalgia we love it that is the place where i feel safe and happy and less depressed less depressed i guess
yeah it's um but then again no sometimes it does kind of make me it reminds me of my age oh as well
yeah so it's just like oh my god 100 the thing about nostalgia is like i feel that deep intense
sadness at the same time like i'm never gonna be eight years old again getting ready for school on a
summer's day put my summer dress on the birds are chirping yeah anytime i'm hearing that is that an
afters as an adult can i say that can i say that speaking of back then those good times why do you
think it is that we're so attached with the past like why do we dwell on it because the future is so bleak and the present
is so depressing yeah like the whole idea of like the cost of living crisis just everything is so
heavy yeah post-pandemic life of course we're going to focus on a time where one it was simpler
yeah two we were kids so we were very naive weren't really aware of what was going around us recession don't know her but like i think we definitely it's easier to focus on like the nice things back then
so basically saw this article the other day saying that the reason why we focus on nostalgia so much
is because the world right now is a mess period i totally agree and dare we say when we're looking
back at the nostalgia the world probably was a mess then but all my little head was thinking about was like making bibo skins we didn't have access to
the world like as much as what we do now which is mad like every everywhere you go is like it's in
everything's in your face whereas back then it's like let me dive into my space for a bit let me
dive into people a bit bibo friends oh into Bebo a bit. Bebo threads.
Oh, my Bebo top 12.
Yeah.
I had no boys in there.
Very sad. Did you not?
No.
Oh, okay.
Then again, yeah, I didn't have any boys.
And your other half.
What's the other half?
What?
You had to choose another half?
No, I didn't choose.
I wasn't inside, inside deep with Bebo like that.
What?
No, I only used it for like just the stories.
There were some very interesting stories on Bebo. What do do you mean on people's notes when they'd write yeah but they'll write
like very did you ever hear of like keisha the skit and stuff like that i've heard about this
on the receipts podcast yeah it sounded lit i'm sad i was not involved in that keisha the skit i
saw that on b-boy what was it about it was like a girl and she was just a whore she was just a hoe
my queen she was just a hoe and she was just a whore. She was just a hoe. My queen. She was just a hoe
and she was living her best life
and it's just the terminology,
the slang that they use.
Bebo for me
was basically my library.
So instead of going to the library
and reading books,
I was reading Bebo stories.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Love it.
Well,
from one woman in STEM to another,
I would actually sit there
doing coding,
making Bebo skins for people.
Oh my days. Like there was a local chav that I really wanted to get in with. Yeah. to another i would actually sit there doing coding making b-boat skins for people oh my
there was a local chav that i really wanted to get in with yeah be really cool too yeah so i was
like let me make you don't need to yeah look you up there up at night like oh my day hot mouth mom
can't even pay on the wi-fi bill but i am give me a minute um so I was doing B-Basic and I was also really obsessed with flash boxes
oh my days um and I remember me and my friend specifically we used to cry to this flash box
which was a sped up version of I want to grow old with you by Westlife to a montage of Mary
Kate and Ashley and we'd sit in our computer room imagining what it would be like
to be a twin and cry I want to go out with you I'm a bad lion in your arms oh me you definitely
had fun back then didn't you I knew I'd have a good time like it's so funny because like you
talking about Bebo, Flashbox, there there was myspace there was what else pixel
pixel again codes we're fucking smart i thought we were coding before the coding became the code
we were making apps we were we were the people then we were the what we were the people then
what was your bibo song did you have a song that played when people came on
what is yours oh i don't not for bibo but foro it was um oh no it's tumblr tumblr the song
playing when you were no and pixo as well was it yeah i think you could do a myspace bibo tumblr
like everyone had a song when you came onto their profile mouths i can make your bed rap
bells and broken no bitch i can make your bed oh my god yeah my bibo name was you can't have me underscore x. Wow. Like I'm fucking virgin.
Virgin.
Not even looked a boy in the eye.
Underscore x.
And you can't have me two u's and two e's.
Wait how did you spell you can't have me?
That's what.
Exactly.
Y-O-U-U-C-A-N-T-T-H-A-V-E-E.
And let me guess it. M-E-E.
What was our obsession with like adding extra letters
and like writing with a capital letter?
We looked illiterate as fuck.
No, if I was to look back at my old like Facebook posts
or like, oh, I don't think Pixar and Myspace still exists.
Do they still exist?
Can you still go on them?
I'm not too sure.
I think if you guys wanna search L.Jules,
that was me, Lady Jules.
That was my space name.
That's quite an age name.
Let's say auntie.
L.
Me and my lady Jules.
L.Jules.
I was gonna be like baby Lauren, baby Lolly.
And she's there with her like.
It felt quite sophisticated. I had a little glitter had a little glitter and like diamonds on the on my face on my space page i'm not gonna lie to you oh my god yeah we used to be obsessed with
them like those like sparkly gifts of dolls oh yes what's that okay. Do you know Winnie the Pooh? Yeah, I know him.
You know Tigger from Winnie the Pooh?
Yeah.
I used to have, like, my background was Tigger, like, moving,
but he was glittery and sparkling.
And that was on my, like, my About Me page.
Right, that's exactly what Enid Blyton, who wrote it?
Who writes Winnie the Pooh?
Who goes there?
Eeyore?
No, Eeyore is the character.
Eeyore wrote Winnie the Pooh Eeyore hasn't got hands babe
no he doesn't
but it's just so funny
how like
back then
even if you're like
I think we were
there's so many little niches
like why
we were
absolutely old enough
to be like
playing with Tigger Gifts
but there he was
sparkling
shining
as if I was
that's so weird four years old that is so weird
so weird it's quite um immature but we were quite young but then again i feel like we grew up slow
slower if that makes sense does that make sense slower we grew up slower whereas nowadays i feel
like the generation listen fast track quick quick yeah do you know what i mean self-checkout so it's
like i remember i still had like a
winnie the pooh tingle pencil case in year 11 i'm not gonna lie to you guys christy i had a cabin
bed up until i was 17 i've been in a relationship for two years and i wouldn't let him come around
my room i had a fucking bunk bed with a desk underneath i was like mom please but nowadays
i go on tiktok i see these families buying they graduate from their
cot to having a double bed listen i had to wait until i maybe even grow maybe even king size
queen king size can you imagine what the fuck the freedom i begged and i begged and i begged
to have a bunk bed and i did love it when i first got it yeah but that wears off christy it does
and you get you get my boyfriend
yeah even friends come around and i friends come around and it's just like where am i gonna sleep
so we've got a top and tail whilst we're one centimeter from the ceiling please
but what my days i just find it super super funny yeah i love it super cool everything
nostalgic and like argos when you'd be designing your new bedroom I'm fucking sitting
through a pencil
behind my ear
that
you know
on the floor
on a Sunday
that was our mood board
so we were doing mood boards
before the mood board
Pinterest
who?
thank you
Argos catalogue
what else was there?
no definitely
Argos catalogue
Next catalogue
we used to get my clothes
from Next
no no no no
no this is
serious nostalgia
little woods do you remember little woods i think that still exists no it doesn't oh like very
the magazine bougie i was in a little woods girl what the little woods magazine yo so you're
telling me you're a tory i'm not but that magazine yeah was it lit it lit? It was so lit.
It had like fashion.
It had like gadgets.
No,
no.
Little Woods was my Pinterest.
Was it?
Yeah. I could just spend like a Sunday looking through the Tesco magazine.
Nowadays.
No,
if they was to like,
if my niece or nephews was to see me sitting down watching or reading a Tesco magazine,
like what's wrong with this girl?
Yeah.
Now what's wrong with peak entertainment? Literally what's wrong peak entertainment literally keep me insane for hours yeah wow what happened to us but it's
funny because like we had such a limited access to like what was out there in the world which
made it nice and it's quite humbling and you're not always wondering like oh what's this child got
yeah like we just had the argus catalog yeah nowadays kids are doing
their fucking eight million pound toy hauls and getting paid bare by youtube yeah i wouldn't like
to be a kid nowadays no i'd rather have that nostalgic year and i feel like i love the way
our parents had kind of more control not like forceful control but just controlling where it's
like okay make sure you have to go outside and play come in have time to do your homework have time to play on the internet you
know you've got 10 minutes on the computer do your worst and then taking it off i like i like that
and i feel like maybe there are some parents out there that do have control like that but
not to the extent because i feel like in schools as well yeah they kind of push you to like yeah
make sure you're searching this for your homework go and look at this no one's going to the bleeding library
poor librarians i remember when i didn't even have a computer and i had to do a presentation
on thailand so i went down to the local travel agents took out pictures of a uh like a travel
agent yeah and i was learning all my information from that i fucking stone age that
bring back the yellow pages bring it back um does it exist yeah um i saw a tiktok the other day
and i love it you know those tiktoks that are like oh remember this feeling or this smell
or whatever and it was like you know when you go out and play with your friends and then you
maybe run back into the house to like get a drink or something or like a toy
and then your mum would be like
well you're not going back out now
and then you'd be like
oh you fucking bitch
why didn't you
and she locks the door
like as soon as you come back home
for let's say for a drink
or like use the bathroom
then the door gets locked
and you're like
oh honestly
my friends are just
still playing
I want to kill my mum
no one's killing
anybody's mum
we love our mum
no we only kill dogs on this show
did you guys ever use ask fm oh my god yeah find out things about friends or people you like i'm
not gonna lie i was that person that used to send anonymous to yourself to myself
and um yeah just to make me seem a bit interesting, you know?
Yeah.
Because I think the questions that I want to get asked, no one's asking me.
Me, Lauren, didn't have many friends' questions about me.
Ask FM.
Or like, you know, it just shakes it up a bit being like, I thought you looked pretty today.
No one did.
Everyone.
Ooh, let me boost myself up.
Why not?
I'm just adding some drama.
Exactly. The drama up why not adding some drama exactly the drama why not is that that was our i guess our age of like imagination shit with myself yeah yeah yeah really
or someone some people used to write like bad things about themselves and then everyone would
be coming like no babe you don't have a big nose oh my days you're skinny as hell imagination ship started
from bad we're a bit deluded but it's fine no but it was all right i feel like it it was a way for
you to kind of like confidently say what's on your mind to yourself well to yourself or to anybody
that you wanted to ask it to do you get it because i want to know i want to know your name your name
way and be anonymous you're not to notice if I ask you anything.
I feel like one time I did get these like anonymous,
like love, love admittances from someone being like,
oh, I really fancy you.
And in my head, I'm building up like,
who is this person?
I have no idea, no idea.
But when that person showed their face,
I wish I could turn back time
catfish i wish i'd never answered them just a small boy in the year below
oh but big up you know the confidence to at least
yeah i don't know but like on like how would you spend your friday nights when you're younger
okay go on right so friday nights come back home from school How would you spend your Friday nights When you're younger Okay Go on
Right so Friday nights
Come back home from school
And go out for a bit
So we'll play like outside
For like a good like
Ten minutes
Then you come in
Play outside for ten minutes
Okay maybe more than ten minutes
Come on
Yeah more than ten minutes
Go all evening
Thirty minutes an hour
Or whatever
Then I'll come home
Obviously
Simpsons on obviously watch
a bit of simpsons then jump on msn jump at msn yeah you're not watching holly oaks yeah but
holly oaks it was no back in the day it was fresh prince of bel-air uh the simpsons denny stenders
yeah don't forget neighbors i love the neighbors yeah so it was that and then it will
have social time with my siblings yeah and then probably be like read a book i used to read a lot
remember all that the disney disney books did you ever get those um what like disney books the dvds
no books um no i just used to read marley cyrus's autobiography over and over and over no but i
used to get disney books and i used to maybe because i didn't speak english oh i used to get
disney yeah they were quite fun um yeah fair enough so my friends were my friends were very
fun i'll see that's the thing as well when i look back when i think back to nostalgia is very based
around i guess the beginnings of tech that whole thing of like logging onto a computer a late night or like
for example i didn't have internet so i'd go over to my friend's house over the road yeah
sell my little msn lolly underscore rocks 56 at hotmail.com um and i do that on her computer yeah
but then like you know you have certain smells
i have a certain smell that when i smell it it attributes to her house and it's like
the smell of her family cooking dinner and playing sims in the computer room i think in terms of
smells tesco muffins right
that reminded me of the time when you'd go to my cousin's house and we hear like the
dial-up of like trying to connect to the internet and we're sitting around like the table waiting
like where's the muffins coming in the muffins were there like every time i had muffins it
reminded me of my cousin's house yeah around the table waiting who's gonna go first on the computer
yeah well talking of food
then mine would be four gluten-free biscuits which were digestives well obviously i just i've just
been introduced to my fucking gluten intolerance at that time and i'd be playing on this learning
land cd cd rom and i my mum would give me four digestive biscuits and then i'd put them in my
mouth and i'd like mix it with my phlegm and play learning lands so that's just what I think of mixing it with your yeah make it last
longer no that's crazy I can't think of any other thing that's crazy are there any films
like from your past that you know that you watch now oh so many um I used to watch i used to watch a film every single night before i went to sleep i
couldn't go to the sound of silence it would kind of go on a like a roster it'd be something like
the lizzie mcguire movie anything mary-kate and ashley um cheap by the dozen my cheap by the
dozen one i remember that i it was on a video so like if i still hadn't fallen asleep when it got
to a certain part if i can get up rewind back back to sleep or the dvds where you'd fall asleep and you'd wake up and
it would be like the title menu playing over and over again i love it or like the adverts just
start again playing and it's like 50 greatest love songs fucking what's his name Paul Collins Bill Collins
it was Paul
from TikTok
sorry
Bill Collins
playing in the background
I love that
so nostalgic
every Kate and Ashley
were actually the
the G's
the G's them
oh my god I love them
where are they now
um
they're not well
oh
where would you get
your films from
blockbusters do you remember blockbusters oh blockbuster yeah you still your films from blockbusters you remember blockbuster
oh blockbuster yeah you still love going to blockbuster for films or like you know mum
mum or dad's weird friend and i yeah i used to get handed the cds not even in like their packs
it would be like in a in a floppy case and then the cover is on the sheet of paper that looks like it's been yeah it's like
styrofoam with like nothing on the cd what is that i used to have like new york minute american
every time i knew that a new set was coming in yeah yeah who's doing that
do you like if you're an adult and like so say if you've got a kid when you're older yeah you
come to me like lauren have you got any of those, you know,
Disney classics?
Me, say less, say less.
Me, burning a CD at night in my free time.
Literally.
To feed back to you, my friend's daughter.
Download, I feel like it was such a need
to like download the latest thing back then.
Yeah.
Stuff like LimeWire.
Oh, my God, LimeWire.
I used to burn a lot of CDs and like cd playlists for like my friends and stuff so so so fun okay well even earlier than that i was recording
stuff on cassettes from my karaoke machine my granddad who was blind may he rest in peace
love you um i used to record um me singing i'm a girl not yet a woman by britney spears and um too lost
in you by the sugar babes and i'd record me singing that on the karaoke machine put it on a
cassette and give it to him to listen to oh headphones in world out granddaughter on oh
that's so bad i'd love to find that that That's like the, oh, before the MP3s
and the iPods
and our phones,
there was,
is it the Walkman?
Oh yeah,
I said,
shove that in my pants
and dance.
Because you,
how are you supposed
to hands free it?
No,
but it was so big.
It was huge.
Like how,
did it even fit in a pocket?
Shit,
it fit in the front
of my fanny.
Put it in the back
of my batty.
Yeah, but like how do you move your arms and stuff? You had to hold it. It didn't even fit in a front of my fanny put it in the back of my batty yeah but like how do you move your arms and stuff you had to hold it it didn't even fit in a pocket or like the the what's the the
usb kind of sticks ones that only fit like 12 fucking songs on it you play you play you stop
and you repeat and you go home yeah delete all of those uploading yeah yeah those were the days
and when you'd have the uh you'd
have a pair of um headphones that weren't working you'd have to hold it to a certain place on your
phone to get it to work yeah i feel like back then it's like obviously we didn't have access
to a lot of things you kind of take things more so for instance you know like music i could recite
britney spears song over and over again because that's the only track on a school trip
and that's all you got literally your infrared it would recorded it okay voicemails no no voicemail
no back in the day right yeah obviously we couldn't like select our own voicemail so you
yeah i'd record like a song playing on tv hi this is christie's phone oh yeah that's why i used to do to record my voice
meika lollipop a bit weird not even cool i feel like kids these days yeah you kids
these meddling kids you meddling kids you don't know the struggle the pain the frustration sing
it we went through those phones didn't have storage bro i had to be
selective with the absolute fucking bangers from the top 40 unnecessary there was an app there
wasn't even apps it was functions like i would rather not have a calculator and be able to
listen to now you're gone by bass hunter please the fact that you can now just listen to something
go on the playlist
press the plus button what were we doing back then lauren what were we doing we were the only
time i'd be able to do that is go you go on a school trip yeah someone would bluetooth me a
song e.g gwen stefani sweet escape and we would be there bashing our phones together to try and
get the bluetooth to work nowadays easy infrared do you remember that oh that just
blew my mind a bit that was quite crazy i didn't really get it no nobody did that and i feel like
there's only certain phones yeah but what was your first phone lauren um i feel like it was like a
nokia brick where you had to um well first one was a flip phone but that like i basically went to town
for the first time they allowed me to went to town for the first time they
allowed me to go to town for the first time i got scratched on the front so then i was just i don't
want anything to do with it now but then i specifically remember a nokia brick where
you top it up with credit and i'd accidentally like leave it lent on something like for example
in my bag when i'd go ice skating it would click on the fucking internet symbol and drain all my
top up and battery and i'd be
there with no way to get home so i'd have to take kids don't know the struggle of taking the battery
when it's dead out of the thing rubbing it on my bra on my head just to get my mom to pick me up
just one percent please back in like the way that you guys travel around with all these portable
chargers back then we couldn't do that i think my first phone was a samsung flip phone that motorola actually hello
hello moto hello moto and then it i think it was the nokia as well actually yeah is it snakes that
game oh snake yeah wait but did you have a blackberry yeah i did you're so lucky did you not i really wanted my
my mom said that's for businessmen i said well my friends are up till late at night playing on bbm
and they're not doing business on there are they i feel like blackberry was the first phone that
we all were interconnected so for instance imagine you're in the classroom right yeah
english teacher we had a very strict english teacher big up her because i got an a in english
period but um i can't really speak it irony but then like imagine you're in a classroom and
everybody's just pinging each other i know that is depressed in the corner with my fucking slide
up gamer phone basically that was so mad like we're in the same room we're all sitting everywhere
and we can communicate like that like right now kids these days they won't understand that kind of oh my gosh that
shock that fascination because they've just had it slammed in their face but for us it was like
shit it was a sense of community don't say it was bb i found this article from like 2008 and it said
that's why we call blackberries crackberries.
These new technologies have addictive elements.
You have to get your kids to use them positively
and keep them away from dangerous elements
or it might damage their lives.
But was blackberry really dangerous?
Because all you have is just your friends on them.
No, BBM gave a sense of like having an instant communication
that wasn't on MSN connected to a computer.
Whereas with texting, it's very old-fashioned yeah yeah yeah that idea of logging on see who's online i didn't get to experience that i literally see you could literally see who's online with the
green symbols we had emojis we had let's see who's paying what on their bbm statuses you'd have like broad broadcast yeah add my girl here's her pin
yeah i do get in a way it was addicted because i think there's certain times where my parents
would threaten me like yeah confiscating your blackberry i'm like thinking how am i gonna
communicate and i'll jump back on facebook like guys my blackberry's been taken away from me
i'm disconnected but pin me like message me here yeah so um in that sense it's like a new it was like an introduction of like being addicted to
like things and that's the start of the end tiktok we're all obsessed with tiktok but everything was
so laggy the patience we had to have for these pieces of technology mental but i do feel like we had it easy whereas um for us it's
like we're learning whilst the technology was actually building up and trying to develop it
as well whereas now it's like you're born into it you're born into it you're born with a fucking
ipad in your literally in your hands yeah even like newborns before they're even out of the belly
they're listening to like yeah radiation around them so it was just like yeah wow so my theory with the whole
kids nowadays being obsessed with obsessed with vintage is that like micro trends are bigger and
more accessible than ever people want to be more unique or have that thing that isn't nobody else
has so that would be like a vintage ralph lauren from vintage rather than something
that's being made on absolute or stealing your mom's vivian westwood bag or stealing your mom's
vivian westwood but it's that whole idea that i think even when people when you think about like
haircuts nowadays people want like the rachel green yeah 90s like 90s claw clip hairstyles
and things like that i think everything was just like so much more cuter and sleeker i
can't really think of much modern stuff now that i look at and i think i i want that and i do feel
like it's like in a way of um people like honoring those kind of vintage looks or like honoring like
vintage like items and stuff like i think there was a time i don't know whether there's a time
but i'm pretty sure back in the day there weren't a lot of vintage stores now you can go to places like brick lane
there's vintage stores everywhere when you travel as well there's like uh i want to go to like not
just the main bits but let's see flea markets and stuff exactly like you want to get an essence of
like the past of what was fashion what was it back then yeah and i don't i like it i don't mind i think it's
quite fun that we're touching back into like yeah interesting but what i don't like about it is when
people only do it for the sake of trying to be unique or trying to bring up or bring back another
trend and make it something bigger than obviously it's something big but then they're trying to
over hype it and it loses its value yeah for me
personally that's how i i basically think do you think it's toxic how much we are rejecting like
the present and bringing out new things and maybe looking forward to the future then
how obsessed we are with like looking back nostalgia um even stuff like instead of you
using the newest cameras or appreciating them
we're taking a photo and editing it to look like it's taken on a disposable or on a camcorder like
why are we so obsessed with making things look like back in time i don't know because the world's
a mess like the article said yeah and also i feel like it's good to have a bit
of escapism but i feel like where we don't do it properly is that we've become hoarders we've
become hoarders yeah and i say that because it's like you see an abundance of all of a sudden y2k
trends everywhere all on your feed and now you're thinking oh maybe i need to jump on that then y2k
is out then it's something else i feel like a lot of us are like some people do kind of enjoy the essence of
escaping the present world because the present world is crazy yeah but also i do feel like it
we need to have a nice little balance because it's good to look back but we actually need to
start looking forward 100 what is to come chat gptT, clothes. Basically. What the fuck? What is going on?
AI, all that palaver, new tech.
What I don't get, you know in Clueless,
where she's got that thing where she's got a wardrobe
and she can pick what she wants through that.
Oh my goodness.
Why isn't that a real thing yet?
But it is.
No, it is.
If you go to Zara, self-checkout, it is.
Right.
No, it is.
I'm talking about my own house, babe.
Yeah, but okay.
Okay.
When you're rich, which is gonna be very very soon
thank you thank you thank you in your house yeah period okay yeah what i've started seeing people
doing nowadays though is they'll take a photo of themselves in their outfit and then they can like
oh yeah they can just like basically isolate that image of them in that outfit and copy it into
their notes and then they have like a whole bank of just all these different outfits yeah mad i think
that's crazy it's smart yeah it's but it's also just everything's becoming less human isn't it
yeah but i remember like i think there was something on tiktok where it's a tiktok or like
a new um lipstick brand where basically you can try on different type of shades on your lips just
by looking at your camera and it kind of like merges into your it's it's crazy it's crazy but i'm here for it yeah it's smart i love the past
love the present love the future love the past dealing with the present and somehow
looking forward to the future yeah yeah that's me. Sure. Yeah.
This is the part of our podcast where we react to some brutal confessions from the World Wide Web.
Brutal.
Okay.
So, Christy.
Yes, Lauren.
On a date with a hot lass.
Went really well until she told me she has an influential Twitter account.
Okay.
She told me her handle.
I opened app, searched, and it showed that I had blocked her.
I often block obnoxious accounts.
She ended the date immediately after.
I mean, what was she tweeting?
Why could you possibly be saying that's that? Because for somebody to block you.
An influential Twitter account.
So she was an influencer? Oh, no. Oh, maybe. that's that because for somebody to block you an influential twitter account or like like
so she was an influencer oh no oh maybe she's probably got the blue tick so people are actually reading and taking in your tweets so what are you tweeting my dear that made you be blocked i mean
yeah but then for you not to notice the person. Yeah, you're stupid.
Yeah.
I feel like it's only a matter of time with things like this
until they start saying the things they tweet out loud.
So maybe it's for the best that it was just.
I think, yeah, it was meant to be.
Yeah.
So brutal meat, I'll only give you a three.
Not that brutal.
My husband recently uploaded a video.
I'm laughing, you're making that bigger.
So I'm fucking blind. No no i'm just illiterate my husband recently uploaded a video to youtube of him complaining about the service he's received at our local waitrose he plays all
eight minutes of it on our smart tv whenever he's had a few drinks i will never have sex
with this man again how many is he trying to get views?
I mean,
I get if he was like a SoundCloud rapper,

waitrose,
what you did to me was so bad,
and I wanna tell you that I'm so sad.
That's an it.
Waitrose.
Why?
No,
but my thing is,
why did you let him sit down there,
record that video,
upload it on YouTube?
Yeah. Because now it's there for life, and I'm guessing's not going to delete that because digital footprint do you know what i
mean have rachel's even commented on the thing have they seen what he's probably not eight views
all him do you know i mean why don't you send an email or go into the store and let them know that
because rachel's online we're thinking what what rachel's are you targeting moving mad get the badge numbers it's not a monologue

So, Lauren, I made you a sweet cup of tea because we're about to play a game called Spill the Tea where you spill the tea and we try not to.
Let's go. I have a confession to make.
My boyfriend gives me the ick every time he eats roast potatoes
I know it sounds crazy
but hear me out
every time we eat roast potatoes with dinner
he can't eat them without
he can't eat them without going
ooh hot hot hot ow
whilst blowing air out of his mouth
and then he blows on them
it's just so cringeworthy
I mean why can't he just wait for them to cool down like a normal person it's like he's trying to be tough or something and it just makes him look like a big
baby i've tried to talk to him about it but he just laughs it off and says it's part of the
roast potato experience maybe he's hungry bless his heart let him eat. That's hot. I mean, just relax.
Get over it.
Yeah, get over it.
Okay.
No, I'm not that deep.
I'm sure you fucking do stuff that's cringe when you eat.
Yeah.
Okay.
I never thought that admitting my...
I never thought that admitting my love for the telly
tubbies to my boyfriend would lead to this it all started as a casual conversation about childhood
shows and i mentioned how i used to watch telly tubbies religiously the next thing i know my
boyfriend is referring to his penis as tinky winky every time we're intimate at first i found it
funny and kind of endearing it was like
our own little inside joke but now it's getting a little weird i've tried talking to him about it
but he just laughs it off and says it's harmless fun but it's starting to bother me more and more
and i don't know how to make him stop i don't want to hurt his feelings or make him feel embarrassed
but i also don't want to continue living in a world where his penis is referred to as a Teletubby character.
That's fucking rank.
How dare you?
What's the shape on his head as well, Tinky Winky?
Straight.
Triangle. No, no, no, triangle.
He should be dipsy.
Lala's the straight one, right?
Fucking Lala, get it.
That's it.
Lala's the straight one?
No.
He's not.
No.
We're more worried
About being factually correct
About the shape of his penis
Tell it to Tinky
Tinky Winky
No
Oh
That's Chachi PT
Yeah
Yeah it was
Tinky Winky
Tinky up my winky
The triangle one

One of my college girlfriends had massive wabos and I spent most of my time trying to get her in a bikini.
We went.
Good.
We went hot tubbing in an apartment complex after hours and we banged in the hot tub
i think in this context wabos means boobs yeah i fucking guessed but who calls them that
unless you're a tweenie.
I'm crying.
Oh my god.
Nice.
Massive wabos.
How big are your wabos?
Can you imagine?
How big are your wabos?
It was so hot, literally.
We invited our friends the next time to hang out and we ended up doing it under the bubbles again she ended up getting genital warts a few weeks later and blamed it on me
i knew i didn't have it and thought she was lying to put the blame on me instead
the relationship ended not long after and i always wondered if it was a possibility that
she contracted it from that dirty hot tub cool what did the boobs have to do with being...
Well, he said she had massive wabos,
so he wanted to get her in a bikini.
Oh!
A dirty man.
My wife's boss invited us over for dinner.
She served us some steaks, but mine was severely undercooked.
I sat there fidgeting with my knife and fork.
I really didn't want to eat it.
Just then, our hostess went to the kitchen as i looked across the dining room table at the open window of this third story
apartment i knew i had to act fast so i grabbed the steak with my hand gently shook off the juice
and executed a perfect throw right through the center of the open window the window wasn't open
the steak left a bloody mess on the cleanest window i've ever seen my wife turned
jaw dropped and stared in utter shock my wife's boss heard the thud came quickly and took in the
scene the steak sitting on the windowsill the blood trail my empty plate the best i could
manage to say was i i'm so sorry i'm such a klutz i was just cutting it and it slipped i'm so sorry
i went to grab it and clean the window and continued eating.
You violated.
That's funny.
But then how could you not?
No, no, the window's not open.
You're fucking dumb.
Do you know what I mean?
What?
I swear as well you can eat steak
when it's like still from the cow.
Yeah, I see a girl on TikTok where she eats it raw in the car.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not raw in the car.
That's scary.
Isn't it like how people have sushi sometimes?
Yeah, sushi, sushi.
We'll cover it up.
Sushi is all...
Okay, next one.
I am a normal man, average in every way.
Yet I always make dogs aroused.
I do nothing untoward, but within seconds out comes their lipstick and I'm proudly apologising.
Proudly?
I don't know why.
What do you mean?
Sorry, it was, I'm profoundly apologising.
Thank you for being here today.
thank you for being here today apologizing to the owner as their dog is gripped to my leg going like the clappers
not proudly
i always fuck it up so now that's that i'm a normal man excited average man okay i know this is going to sound really weird but hear me out my girlfriend has
this thing where she meows like a cat during sex it's not just a little meow either it's a full-on
prolonged meowing session it's like she's trying to communicate something to me,
but I have no idea what it is.
It's so distracting that I can't even concentrate on what we're doing.
I've tried asking her about it, but she just shrugged it off
and said it was a habit she picked up as a kid.
What?
I don't know if I believe that, though.
It seems like something that's just too strange to be true.
I really care about her and our relationship,
but I don't know if I can handle this meowing thing anymore.
It's starting to make me feel uncomfortable and a little bit embarrassed.
I don't know how to tell her that this is something I'm not okay with.
That's that as a kid.
That's concerning.
Yes, because raised eyebrows.
Bombastic side eye.
Bombastic side eye.astic side eye what's happening there that's um so is it like a meow or a or a
it could be that that's fucking annoying shut up Shut up. I'm imagining long meows. Have you seen that video of that cat that meows like a scouser?
Yeah.
Shut up.
No, I'd actually cover your mouth at this point.
Forget it.
Yeah.
Put a dummy in it, man.
Dummy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hmm.
What a weirdo.
Uh.

Did you call me a big purr?
