Tea at Four - Ep 53: Why is everyone trying to cancel millennial pop culture?

Episode Date: April 12, 2024

On this weeks episode, Lauren and Christie get nostalgic and discuss if their favourite kid’s TV shows would be aired today (anyone else remember Dick and Dom’s creamy muck muck?) and question if it was okay for home renovation shows to blow up people’s homes? We also play Don’t Spill The Tea with some crazy internet confessions, such as a ventriloquist who uses his skills in the bedroom and a guy who was overly obsessed with being quiet during sex…

Dick and Dom in the bungalow? Yes, I watched them! Do you remember the custard called Creamy Muck Muck? I mean, need I say more? Back in the day, TV was hugely inappropriate. It was white and long and intertwined with my poo. When I described what I saw, she said, you do realise that sounds like a worm and you have recently been travelling.

Hi guys, welcome back to Tia4, I'm Christy I'm Lauren and welcome to the podcast where we talk all things that should have stayed in the group chat Woo! No, that's not us, quick cut back Anyway, so how's your week been Miss Christy? Just, man, I think I'm at a point where I forget what I do during the week Right And the weekend because i just want to just the rest so people ask me i'm thinking what did i actually do

tune into it come on i'm just trying to remember um i was my mom's birthday this weekend actually oh lovely what did you do um nothing oh. Great to celebrate the ones you love. No, we just literally just chilled, you know? Yeah. Literally just chilled. The weather was meh. And I lost my hat. You're joking.

Yeah, because basically I was wearing my wig, right? And I had my cap. And the wind said, yeah, it's time for you to... I'll have that. Yeah, why not? So there's me chasing my hat down india dock and they went into the i mean at least it wasn't the wig yeah but but the wig was a bit discombobulated so um the river has my hat i wish i saw that oh i've got a video i'll show you oh brilliant good good well in other news um i was down a coal mine this weekend it looked so good though yeah it was

so good yeah got to wear a helmet a little fucking bits and pieces yeah so good and you fed some like cute little donkeys donkeys no what lambs they're called lambs they're goats baby goats baby sheep oh they were sheep not goats you don't know your animals no i don't yeah no so I went to old Hertfordshire not Hertfordshire Hertfordshire and I fed some animals and stayed in a little shepherd's hut and we cooked our dinner on the fire

and then yeah went down the coal mines went to a really good museum called the Big Pit everyone check it out yeah it's like what your friends are doing

on a Sunday at 4pm it's like I'm sure a lot of people are rot sunday at 4 p.m it's like i'm sure a lot of people rotting from hangovers but i was going down into the mines that's quite wholesome though yeah yeah yeah had fun good to learn your history isn't it would you do it again 100 yeah i'm coming this time yeah you can go thank you you'd actually be perfect found out mad fact they used to like chain kids to the doors down in the coal mines uh and they couldn't afford candles so they just sit in complete darkness and all you'd hear is the rats great you'd be small enough so you can do that

yeah yeah don't in the dark there's rats i hate rats so this week in tier four we are talking about things in our nostalgic past that would be problematic if it came up in 2024. Because I guess all the news has come out about, you know, the Nickelodeon, the dark side of that stuff. And I guess it made us reassess and think about what things we were watching or taking in as young children and that won't fly now so christy yeah man what um what's been unlocked for you this week do you know what's so funny because you told me to go and watch um you gave me some homework so i had some homework today guys and my homework was to watch some friends and yeah you fucking heard that right yeah 2024 and she's only just watched the pilot of friends but you know what i know that the i

know the theme song i used to watch will and grace right um and everybody loves raymond which i kind of prefer yeah prefer that then right and sex in the city but you know what's so funny i feel like what's that even about what everybody loves raymond it was one of those ones i see like no but it was so good what's happening on there who's raymond raymond raymond is the guy that's loved by his mom it's a very good show man like say more so yeah so he's got a a brother that works for the police um

don't let me lie don't let me lie don't let me lie do you guys know I'm not telling this right right uh but he's just a family guy

um dying to she's googling it she doesn't even know what happens not a scooby let me let me just do like a nice synopsis here for you guys come on then his mom really loves him

see i was right ray barone is a successful sports writer and a family man who deals with his with a brother and parents who happen to live across the street how many series has that got quite a lot how have they built that out don't do that because I'm not gonna lie it lags nine series

nine series and the finale made me cry I'm not gonna lie to you what happened in the finale I don't remember but I don't please I need to know how this like how do i how do i you know sweep that up

even like the picture of it like oh let's see do you see it my normal people that's the most fucking bang average second promo i've ever seen in my life sorry i've just giggled that. What happens at the end if everybody loves Raymond? Ray undergoes a routine surgery. What? Guys, everybody loves Raymond. I used to watch him before I go to school.

That's like bang average TV. It was so good though. That's hilarious. Yeah, I feel like that's really good that his family loves him because all the programs I consumed as a child, they'd always have a dead mum or dad. What is that about?

Everyone on Disney Channel just has a dead mum, Hannah Montana. No, their dad was alive, sweet life, a second thing. Yeah, there you go. Or like iCarly, where even were the parents? Yeah. Do you know what? It was kids living their best life. Did you see the loft they lived in in iCarly?

Where the fuck are their parents? Why is that only just come to me now? I mean, I guess it made sense back then, didn't it? I guess it allowed them to do the things they did. Exactly. Dan Schneider. No parents allowed around. But you're also crazy about the topic that we're touching on today.

It's like back then how it was just allowed. Yeah. And you'd just watch it it take it in and oh yeah it's whatever go about your day but then now with this new gen z that are super woke you put things in front of them they're like bam bam bam bam here's the red flag this is that that's the thing i think it's better when we had less brain cells i mean not in the sense of like the nickelodeon stuff yeah but like i would take things at face value and it would be funny yeah and it's character forming nowadays everyone has to make it a thing I think we take things too seriously to make it like a heartless program you think you see back

in the day I feel like the definition of inappropriate has this definitely changed right so back in the day tv was hugely inappropriate yeah Nowadays, it's like, there's like restrictions. There's Ofsted for like TV. Not Ofsted, but Ofsted versions for like TV. Ofcom. Ofcom. Ofsted, right? British schools.

Yeah, but. Wait till you see the funny episode, boy. No, I'm tearing. But Ofcom for like tv um the jokes back then yeah they can't run now they wouldn't slide you're so funny this is really bad of me right but i feel like i'm like i'm one of the those people that i'm like oh my god this is what i used to watch yeah i was watching um i was around my friends and she's got like uh three little girls right bless them love them dear daily and we're watching big

bear in a big blue house right right everybody knows that one he was a little bit he was a little bit right cool he's a little bit there's a scene oh yeah that's what he does though he's like oh okay would you big bear is it big bear or just bear bear in the big blue house it was big in more ways than one oh my god and that moon outside oh but um there was a scene there was an episode where um i forgot the character maybe the fox was trying to like go on to the bear's back i think it's called the four i don't know what the name's called no more and um there's that weird thing that he turns to the camera and he's like i want to go on on the bear's back oh that's really bareback and i was like oh what so we both looked at each other and

were like wait what did they just say and it's like back then when we're watching when we were younger we didn't understand that joke at all and now listening to that again we're like what do you mean talking about bareback and you're talking about going as i'm like a piggyback yeah babe like it was just it's so true when i think about the most like nostalgic shows that i treasure there were jokes in it that were obviously for the kids but i now watch it back as an adult and i'm like that's fucking funny but how did that go over my head right like one i think about the most is um i don't know if you would have heard of this um dick and dom in the bungalow yes i watched them oh really yeah

dick and dom yeah and then they played the bogeys and everything and they played the yeah the bogeys well i just don't understand how at 9am they had that much energy what were they and then a hundred no 110 and they made so much noise yeah but do you know what the the most thing that went over our head? Do you remember the custard called Creamy Muck Muck? I mean, need I say more? Oh. And I was just saying, they're like, custard.

But come on. Yeah, because it got a bit messy, didn't it? It was like slight sexual innuendos yeah and then like toilet humor do you remember the cat that there was a worm in the toilet and then there was a cat in the door that sounded stoke on trend yeah yeah stoke on trend yeah stoke on trend yeah like who has made that what have they been in that room it's genius that's crazy because coming to think about it so we i still sit there and watch that whilst I'm having my breakfast, and you're thinking...

Do you think our parents came in being like, what the fuck? They're not going to grow up to be well-intellectual kids. But you know, because how they were sold... It just says it there, doesn't it, really? The stupid games they used to play on it. They used to play a game where they'd

take it in terms to put a sticker on a member of the public's back to see if they noticed. I'd be crying, Christy. No, it's true. Crying with laughter. I always definitely wanted to go on there, though. But what would kids nowadays say about that? Like, no, sorry, that's...

That's harassment. That's harassment. That's bullying. You're touching someone without their consent. Yeah. But nowadays, when i watch that back someone's sticking a big face sticker or someone's about increasing of course people are shouting bogeys in the flipping supermarket absolutely amazing genius honestly absolutely incredible

how did they get away with that how did they get away with it but yeah i like i said i feel like tv has changed a lot but when you actually sit down and decipher it and like break it down we're kind of like in a way taking the no it's bad to say taking the joy out of i think it's just like pushing boundaries with jokes yeah i completely get now how we have to be a bit more careful but even when i think about youtube kids like how they've got all these things on it to make sure kids don't go into things like momo you know they kept it momo in the adverts yeah weird but now but back then the jokes that they made in these kids programs form the person who i was today but they were dark yeah i remember this program was stupid did you watch that stupid there was the king and then he had a little goblin called goober

do you watch it what was it on it was so good it was on cbvc it only had two series apparently only 20 episodes but i would re-watch and re-watch and um i just remember the sketches there would be kids in it will i remember that guy with the hat the blinky hat on the side yeah yeah yeah yeah but i remember the sketches were like this mum used to always knit her son things from like an xbox yeah to a dad like one time that she'd be like he's back like he's come back from him obviously leaving yeah the kids when i think and he's like go into the living room and go and he's the kids like i'm not falling for it mom i'm not falling for it you did it with the xbox console you've done it with this i'm not doing it and she's like son he's in there yeah and he walks in it's a knitted dad at the table.

And how funny they're doing jokes about dads being absent. Funny. Do you know who used to scare me? The guy with the purple face. Yeah, yeah. The purple face guy. Little goblin. Yeah, he looked very weird.

Yeah. I don't think they push boundaries like that anymore. No. Using small people. Oh, no, can I say that? No, is it? No, it is. Yeah, small people. Oh, no, can I say that? No, is it? No, it is. Yes, small people is right.

But more to the point as well, I think the processes that get these kids on TV. Yes. Like these kids that are on Dick and Dom in the bungalow. How? I wanted to get on there. Yeah. But I don't think it would just be allowed to send your kid up to London,

be put on national TV, made to cry or throw throw creamy muck muck at celebrities what yeah i feel like ah there's fun but there's like the boundaries but then there's also we've got to just be careful because i feel like you know how now we've got like um different like religions you've got different like characteristics people have um different like i can't say i can't say it in a bad way what abilities yeah that's the word yeah abilities you've got to be very inclusive so now when you are creating like tv shows or like series you've got to make sure like it's checked yeah like the dbs check needs to be dbs in for the script yeah yeah i guess that makes it harder i i think another concept was snog mario void i don't think that would fly in 2024

do you watch that program was on bbc theory and then you'd get like a a woman yeah goes onto the program and she gets put in front of the camera and this fucking little voice alexa say something insulting says all these horrible things about a person then they take a video of the person out to the streets and they're like what do you think of her she's like god she looks like absolute slag she looks ugly and her hair looks shit and then they just completely re-transform her look i feel like those type of formats they do that with for instance you got um paddy what's that Paddy McGinnis no lighty no likey oh yeah yeah take me out take me out there you got stuff like

that you could say that that's the same thing as Love Island it's the same thing they stand in there you gotta pick who you want to be with yeah but people were more brutal back then yeah like they would air that they would air someone saying like she looks an absolute mess i'm hoping that they had um like aftercare aftercare mental i don't think so because i feel like it's only now that we're seeing you know mental health being like pushed in schools like adverts everywhere so no they go on britain's next model america's next model shave their whole head off and be like off you go then or be voted out the next week oh my god i remember with next top model there was actually a lady that had a gap in her tooth and then she got it remember i think

she got it even she got it fixed yeah and then afterwards she kind of regretted it because it was like she didn't need to do that yeah crazy wild i don't know if they do that do that now no um another concept i think it's still a thing, wait, no, that Super Size versus Super Skinny, did you used to watch that? Yeah. Where they would get a fat person

and a thin person to swap diet. Yeah. And I remember so vividly they'd put it in like this tube, like everything that they ate in a day. Oh my,

that was disgusting. That's actually so bad. That is so bad. What person sat behind that and went, great concept for a show? And they're wasting all that food as well show and they're wasting food

as well and they're wasting all that food as well that used to annoy me all the bags of sugar oh my gosh yeah come to think of it yes it had in a sense it did have an educational did it in a no the concept of it just to show you oh building awareness right it was right awareness yeah just the way that it was portrayed mad could have been done better because that is come to think of that's crazy yeah do that now i'll probably break down yeah and another diet fad i remember back in the day that we all we just all accepted was a thing my friend would bring in slim fast drinks oh do you remember them no they're like meal replacement drinks but like girls in school were having them yeah instead of having like lunch but then think if you think of it as well

like films like clueless or mean girls there was always that sense of like diet yeah does this is butter a carb yeah come on um so they're really like pushing those jokes nowadays in 2024 i mean they try not to but then again do we even watch tv like that to kind of see if sitcoms have those type of um themes or glamorizing those type of yeah i don't know i don't think so i don't think if they do they do in a way where like they do touch on a topic but then there's always that backing of like oh yeah aftercare or like at the end of the episode be like that disclaimer if you need help for this please call yeah god they were really just if you need help please yeah yeah definitely um another one i found crazy this is actually quite

recent but i'm still not sure if it was started in 2024 i think people would have more to say about it do you remember in lockdown when everyone was running that 5k for Virgin and you'd have to donate £5 and everyone started lying about how quick it took them to run or if they donated did you not do that? just wild things to think about it didn't even come about donating money to

charity it was about how quick did I run this 5k so basically lying that's fair money to charity it was about how quick did i run this 5k so basically lying basically lying culture that we yeah that happened all right yeah that's fair yeah and another one we were talking about is um coney 2020 12 yes that that big old hollywood film about joseph coney yep do you remember it did you donate money i don't remember donating money but i do remember sharing it and seeing it everywhere it had like that red kind of campaign.

Yeah. Kony in like big capital letters. Wild. Yeah. And it was just the way we all kind of fell for it. And I guess it was the time before fake news was really a thing. Yeah. And I had all these celebrities sharing it.

Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen. And I was soaking it all up. I was like, this is shocking. We must donate. We must do a big thing about it i must do the hashtag nowadays would that have the same momentum behind it i feel like those things are detrimental for people that actually are doing things of great causes definitely you think about it like a lot of people are now like wary to like for instance festivals the fry festivals a lot of people like oh maybe i'm not gonna go because

of xyz this happened before the coney thing there's disastrous things happening yeah like in the world out there i yeah but i think things like that have made me overly skeptical about where money from charities go which i think is a good thing but then like for example the guy that was in charge of coney 2012 got done for masturbating in public so i hear right hear right because he couldn't deal with the stress of the campaign and he said it was because of dehydration, exhaustion and hunger

you know yeah so he had to wank it out so I think that is he's arrested now right I'm sure he's arrested now, right? No, I don't,

I'm sure he's not in jail now, but, but like nowadays when real issues are coming up in the world, I don't think we're as quick to go like, oh, flock to it. Yeah. I think I'm, I'm scarred.

Cause I think there was a, there was that during that black lives, BLM, black lives matter facade. I haven't, not facade, black, black lives matter.

Um, period of time. Yeah. Um, the girl that founded the charity in the uk she basically used i think i don't know how much the money was a lot of money like seven thousand pounds i think maybe more yeah um she got found out that she basically wasn't using the money for the cause and i saw recently that she only had to pay back a pound yeah what did she have a big house or something i don't know what she did with the money what i'm saying even is it who was that so i don't remember her name but she definitely was caught of like not using the charity the money that was raised for yeah yeah the cause and um they caught her um and she had

to pay back a pound but then for me it's like that thing was so huge so big so people were just caught into it yeah and literally invested there you never know some people must put their life savings or like yeah i mean or something like they had money on the side you know let me not say it for a rainy day this is a cause that actually is near to my heart yeah money towards it and then you go and find out this like it's a loss of trust like it's dishonest 100 so what do you do yeah it was um 32 grand that she raised they raised yeah um and then yeah ordered to pay back one pound one pound can you imagine that's 32 grand but it does make you think like this

probably happens quite a lot and we don't know about it yeah but yeah i just don't know 2024 well not too nostalgic because it's still happening now yeah um was only the other year um another one i had down and for the internet yeah that wouldn't fly in 2024 nostalgic things is um when we'd use our credit to put money into games i know kids nowadays use it for like roblox i don't know you see them i don't know some kind of thing online but like back in the day my mom would put like 10 pound on my phone for credit and i spend that all on furniture for hotel i wouldn't have enough money to call her to call me up uh pick me up off school like the term so it would all be spent on like little furniture yeah my online world

yeah but again money back money back then meant something money now is just a whole bunch of pick me up off school. Cause it would all be spent on like little furniture. Yeah. My online world. Yeah. But again, money back, money back then meant something. Money now is just a whole bunch of calamity. Yeah, I guess so.

It's dumb. It's actually so dumb. And you know what I hate as well, that they, what I hate about what it is now is all how they've changed it is you can easily be scrolling and accidentally click on something and there you go. You spend 10 pounds on, on the roadblock or on Simss i'm i'm a i'm a sucker for sims sucker for sims but nowadays as well oh yeah the the alarming potential of spending 10 pound on roadblocks but um but nowadays you can claim this shit back like there's that there's the thing on amazon it's

like oh i accidentally made this purchase on itunes like no i didn't actually mean to purchase that year's worth of duolingo and i gave up on the first week um but back in the day you had to sit in it you had to sit in that guilt that i've just spent my whole 10 pound credit on Habbo Hotel furniture and I can't call my dad do you know what should be cancelled? it's the money we've spent on making me a winner ah

radio competitions that could be our next episode ripe with radio competitions yeah but um yeah yeah to be honest i blame rosie too

yeah we sat down in the office we lit some candles and uh we basically how much did we pay some taper candles basically there's the radio competitions where when they call you up at this certain time of the day you have to pick up and say, make me a winner after five rings. And then you win a big prize sum. And there was this one day, we all had a good feeling in our bones. We lit these taper candles and we sat there in a circle. We were like, we've got this, we've got this.

I prayed to my loved ones up above. I thought my life is about to change from this day. Three o'clock rolls around dead silence the phones no one's phone rang nobody's phone rang yeah um but yeah we're so stupid we say about all these things that we did when you're younger we're 100% full for it now yeah it's stupid we had hope yeah yeah which is good never never give up hope yeah it's true don't make it up um one thing that's come to mind is disney movies i've not watched um what's one of the elephant dumbo dumbo yeah right but dumbo i've seen like snippets of dumbo and that storyline is heartbreaking i've actually never

seen it animal cruelty i think they um i think they kill somebody somebody dies someone dying the elephant gets shot the mum the mum what yeah poor dumbo goes out without a mom why is their parents always dying in these things why is it so dark can you imagine kids watching that that emotions and that's how they become bullies yeah that is what yeah because remember the kids were bullying dumbo and they called dumbo dumbo dumbo's not dumb oh yeah you get it yeah so weird i'm just like a clown dumbo dumbo yeah this one dumbo see i think with humans we like to take things face value we don't really sit down and actually understand what's going on the same with our emotions that somebody can say something to

you oh yeah whatever but then it's not when you go home and they're like oh my god they actually said that to me that actually is out of order do you get it so i feel like we've got this type of or we've been brought up back then to kind of like yeah whatever keep keep going whereas now it's like oh no not whatever how did that make you feel why did why did they do it like that why is it portrayed like that who's behind that oh my god what was your past why did you do that yeah i think that's the thing the same thing that's going on with um the nickelodeon stuff a lot of the the young actors of like i actually feel so so sorry for them because that is traumatic to go through but then it's crazy how the people behind those shows why were they allowed

they haven't been reprimanded even now they've not been reprimanded like the producer so dan schneider yeah went on a podcast yeah he wasn't put into a prison cell no he went on a podcast yeah and i feel like that's just going to keep happening we're going to be taking things less and less seriously they're protected by the people upstairs have you ever seen extreme makeover home edition yes well just the whole concept of it is kind of strange like i i love the sentiment of it but they used to go to these people's houses who were in need yeah they'd blow up the house with explosives blow it up just obliterate it on a road of houses as well so you might have fucking you know in your back garden sorry sorry we're doing a new renovation sorry over here yeah and they'd rebuild the whole house based on the

interest the kids have like expressed at the time like he might have said oh i like i like the sea and they've done a whole dolphin theme room with a dolphin slide but then also these were huge houses and there were people also in need how did they keep that up i don't know how did they pay the electricity bills and that's something that would really keep me up at night as a child and now i do feel like something's telling me that after they've done that the families that have had this they've got now this new home yeah i'm pretty sure the cost and the fees that they had to pay the people to come in i'm pretty sure it's on them i have a feeling there's no way what no because they come and they blow up your house and they make it up for you right

in short yes in short synopsis of sky they come into your house blow up and they do it for you but then if you think about the cost of having a builder plumbing oh no everyone's a volunteer everyone's a volunteer i think it's a lie yeah i i really think it's a lie think about it gordon ramsay when he's coming into my restaurant and changing it around as well i'm pretty sure the the money that i make in the next three years i've got to pay him back i'm pretty sure the the money that i make in the next three years i've got to pay him back i'm pretty sure there's a there's a catch really i think there's a catch the detriment you do to your business when you put those kitchen nightmares online it's like rats in

the kitchen how do you come back from that really yeah because you have to pay him back you gotta you gotta pay him for what he came that's because we look into that place i feel like the same way with home edition i'm pretty sure that there's a catch. Maybe. There must be. Another thing we were completely stupid and naive to, do you remember 60 Minute Makeover? Yes. That wasn't done in 60 minutes.

I just found out that the other year. And stars in their eyes. What about that? You go in there. Hi, Lauren. Today I'm going to be Mariah Carey. You come in, disappear, come back. Clearly that's a lie. Are you joking they have like wigs and stuff on of course they've not laid that in 15 seconds but they make it seem as if it was that's dumb that's dumb dumbo

you are dumbo no but they sold it well guys are you joking there's like a band and everything on stage yeah but if you didn't know that right what are you talking about oh wait yeah but it's the edit in process oh my god

that's hilarious pimp my ride pimp my ride are they really going around those with that in the trunk That's hilarious. Pimp My Ride? Pimp My Ride. Pimp My Ride. Are they really going around those with that in the trunk? Again, that got cancelled because that guy's on it. What's his name? Tim Westwood.

It's just funny how all those programmes back in the day, they'd take one detail and then just override your whole aesthetic. It's crazy. Some of the wildest Pimp My Ride modifications. Yeah. Chocolate fountain station. A coffin. Cat scan.

A cat scan. A bird cage. A DJ Dex. Because when else would you want to do that? Just got popped back. The mud flaps with LCD monitors. What? I never got that.

They have like a plasma screen TV in the back. A chandelier. A chandelier. What the hell are you doing with a chandelier in your car? A chandelier. What? You wouldn't need a house at that point. Christy, what would your ride look like?

I feel like my ride inside will be like a nice blue in there, right? Right. With a bench press. Yeah. When I get tired, just like... Nice. Just head out the back.

Yeah. As to car park. And then a fruit smoothie machine on the side. Yeah. Just for that nutrients. Nice. Pump.

Yeah, what about you? I mean, I think I'd like some kind of karaoke set up. I'm sure that was already a thing, to be honest. I'd be calling you like, Lauren, when are you coming round? All right, we've just got to go out in the garage, though, if that's all right.

Not even the garage, don't own one, just street. No, that would, no. Yeah, crazy. But they take one detail from your life. So, like, right now, what's really stepping out for me? What do I like doing? You're a cat mom so would it be something to do with cats cats oh my god that's an all fluffy interior um nice and warm in there

nice and warm yeah no you've got to go more outrageous okay um mike no there's the thing and there are barbershops that are basically cars now um are there yeah i know a guy that has a van and it's a basic a barbershop i think what mine would probably be is a donut maker nice yeah nice make some donuts on the road yeah yeah piano piano just if you want to whip out a quick tune on The back. I hear it. No, by Nick. A studio. A studio?

Yeah, can you imagine? Like a recording studio. Oh, nice. So I'll be driving whatever. A podcast studio. No, I'm the podcast studio. I love this podcast though. Like a recording studio.

I can become an artist. Fair. Yeah, man. Also, is that legal? There was no laws no there was no laws there was no laws there was even a show

it was man versus beast and then there'll be like two in America right so it'll be like two palm trees and then there'll be a man trying to climb the palm tree

and the same time a chimpanzee trying to climb it what man versus beast I'm telling you and even more recently release the hounds

do you remember that they used to set dogs on celebrities yeah you're how do they make a program that every week i don't i don't even know what the concept of that was to win money i think money for charity i think it was so what just dogs would chase them every time yeah i know only at the end though only at the end what were they doing the rest of the program so there's like a lot of like competitions i think they have to go through like different

challenges let's say for maze run all your escape right it's nothing to do with hounds no god oh my god did you ever watch fort boyard no what's that the one where it's like a big game show that they're on an island and then at the end they've got to run and get the money and then put it inside a sack and then if they don't the lines come out wild i think people would do crazier things for money yeah back then i wouldn't i don't know except the dogs on me would you run yeah yeah why not yeah crazy so in conclusion yeah just have a bit of a uh a light-hearted but maybe skeptical take when we think about things back in the day yeah because who knows things we enjoy now we might be looking back in 20 years

me and you on the sofa still still not had a rebrand um like we've been brainwashed we've been brainwashed yeah no i think it's character forming yeah but we have to we have to i guess it's a positive thing that all these things are in check now that dogs can't be chased after you people can't take advantage of kids on set 100 uh adults get aftercare i guess yeah is that my conclusion no i just do feel like yes we should use our imagination and create like great tv but also have the duty of care to kind of like understand what we are portraying on tv how are people going to digest it and just being nice because i feel like if you put yourself in the animal shoes or put yourself in the in the other person she's that you're portraying um animal shoes what dumbo or those hounds any of that like listen they they

instead of them roaming why am i talking about animals now yeah animals have feelings no they do everybody has feelings i just feel like let's be cautious yeah and um but tv is drying up these days 100 for the better or for worse for well I say soaps are doing a great job sorry I'm gonna back the soaps TV can be rubbish but the soaps

will continue to thrive yeah you're right the weirder things are in America like you can't blow up a house in a semi-detached

in Hackney every house you know what I mean so maybe they can keep it over there yeah I feel like yeah

TV let's just do better yeah TV let's just do better yeah and let's just think and everyone watch podcasts instead there you go listen listening is good for you well if uh Tim Westwood I know I don't want him okay uh exhibit exhibit if you want to just come pimp Chrissy's ride I personally can't drive yet so I'll wait till I can do that um and we'll see that yeah please thank you this is the part of the podcast where you spill the tea and we try not to as we play don't spill the tea yay all right let's get sipping sister girl okay I've only got a few today But we'll give it a go

Right Creaky My husband is a ventriloquist And sometimes he'll throw his voice Into my fanny At first I thought it was funny But now I can't listen to a Spanish accent Without thinking it's my fanny speaking

Buenas noches, senor Sex is ruined i'm lost because also ventriloquist oh for fuck's sake it's a puppeteer so wait oh wait no it's actually no ventriloquist is where they go so you don't even know so he's a mime a m, no. You know when they go up with the puppet and the puppet speaks and they don't move their mouth?

So he's making the vagina sing? Talk? But how? I guess his mouth was shut down there, Christy, and he's making sounds with his mouth. Speaking words

in a Spanish accent. Interesting. Interesting. speaking words in a Spanish accent. Interesting. I'm obsessed with scuba. I'd like to go on a really long dive with someone and have sex while dressed in scuba gear. That's it.

Would you have sex dressed in scuba gear? No. There's no holes. The friction. Why would you have sex dressed in scuba gear oh there's no holes the friction do that you have to wear a scuba suit there's no holes yeah there's not it's just a friction oh so humping you want to hump i once had a one-night stand with a guy who was extremely hot and charismatic but I've not spoken to him since because it was the most stressful sex I've ever had in my life we're 28 years old and he lives with two housemates but yet I've never known a grown man to be so paranoid about making noise in my entire life he stopped every couple thrusts to shush me after two minutes he

made us get off the bed as it was too creaky and we had to get on the floor, and he moved incredibly slowly so as not to make any ball-slapping noises. I didn't feel bad ghosting him after this, because I assumed my silence would suit him well. Is he not

just making noise to your general life as well, though? Is he always that quiet? Maybe the walls are super thin yeah but like you can move about it's your room you pay rent

can you imagine can you imagine shh not even a shh it'd be like but are you thinking why are you putting your hands on my head

yeah what the hell so ruining the vibe yeah forget grow up book a hotel or something at this point innit yeah

yeah hey vibe yeah forget grow up book a hotel or something at this point in it yeah yeah okay recently after going for a number two i looked down to see something strange in the toilet it was white and long and intertwined with my poo i stared at it for a while it didn't move i flushed and my housemate came into the bathroom and i asked her if she'd recently put anything plasticky looking down the toilet she looked at me worryingly and said no why when i described what i saw she said you do realize that sounds like a worm and you have recently been traveling i panicked googled

it lo and behold it looked exactly like a tapeworm i felt disgusted i called the doctors i had to speak to three pharmacists and a travel clinic as well as giving a poo sample i also had to treat all the people i lived with and tell my very new boyfriend that i could have given him a parasite anyway a few weeks later me and my two housemates are in the bathroom chatting while one of them is flossing as she chucks her floss into the toilet my housemate watches in slow-mo as the floss hits the basin and says right is that your worm by any chance did it look like that we stared at it stared at each other burst into fits of laughter. Hours of NHS time and four humiliating worm conversations later, it was just floss.

Oh my God. Did she not inspect it that hard? Is there not symptoms that come with... Yeah, itchy bum, no? Do you know? I don't know. Take worm and worms. I don't know if I've heard from people

when you're travelling, you get really itchy bum how embarrassing imagine being on the call yes um I'm not well that friend that said it to me and put that worry in my head we're beefing

literally intertwined dance around the bottom of the thing but not to imagine the visual too much but and the flossing thing is quite not as thick that friend is evil

do tapeworms have eyes as well any animal experts let us know wow interesting bless any animal experts let us know wow oh interesting fair bless okay a few weeks ago i was horny and for god knows what reason decided to try and use my cell phone as a vibrator anyway it got stuck up there and the only person who could get me to hospital was my friend who thought it was hilarious.

On the way there, he posted on Facebook informing the world of my situation along with my cell phone number. For the next hour, I sat in the emergency room waiting area. With the phone ringing in the... LAUGHTER Receiving uncomfortable stares as the phone in my ar ass rung and vibrated
