Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi guys, welcome back to T4, I'm Kristy. I'm Billy. And I'm Lauren and this is the podcast where we talk all things that normally stay in the group chat. This week, you're speaking to a couple of members who sat at number four in the top episodes of the Spotify chart. Woo! Top four! Yes! Top four, top three!
Starting point is 00:00:24 That's us! We're number four! We're number four! What's up, 3, 4. It feels nice to be up there. It's like amongst a couple of episodes about, you know, Trump, the state of the world. Go Rogan. And then there's Kinks and Kanye. It's such a nice validation, isn't it? All this hard work. And it wouldn't be possible without you guys as well. Our crew.
Starting point is 00:00:44 And the listeners. And the listeners, of course. all this hard work and it wouldn't be possible without you guys as well. Our crew. Our crew. And the listeners. And the listeners of course. Big up the crew first and foremost. Big up the crew and big up the listeners. New and old, thank you so much for celebrating tea and loving and listening.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Keep sipping. Keep sipping, I love that. Keep sipping. Was he a peed fall? Who? No he wasn't. Who? The one that was on Strictly Come Down. The one thatophile? Who? No he wasn't
Starting point is 00:01:06 The one that was on Strictly Come Down The one that died? Yeah I was going to say Bruce Willis, it's not Oh, Forsythe Bruce Forsythe He was alright, wasn't he? No, I think He was a good woman, that's like my TV grandad Oh
Starting point is 00:01:22 Okay I don't know how we got there, that's so weird. That is crazy. We're going to play a game called Celebrity where we try and fill in the blanks from headlines from the week. I'm going to go because you two went last time. Fair enough. I'm having all the tea.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Time for tea. All the biscuits. Drake to headline wireless on blank blank blank. Drake to headline wireless on what days are the wireless again? I think it's three on three. Three nights a week. On all three days a week. On all three nights. On all three nights. That is it. Is that right? Yeah. Oh blasphemy. Wow. That's crazy. Why on earth is he doing three nights? I think this is Drake's revenge. Because you guys have all been singing this bleeding
Starting point is 00:02:08 they're not like us, they're not like us. Kendrick Lamar, Palava. So Drake said, I'm gonna get my hit back. Yeah, but you've not had a relevant song since let's say Passion Fruit or One Dance. And that was 25 years ago. Who? Dare I say it?
Starting point is 00:02:21 Ooh, I was fired. Lawrence, he's really qu wakin' in his moves. Kendrick and Lauren Kirkland! This is gonna be the one that takes Drake to the very edge. No, I don't understand why Drake should headline three days. I agree. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:38 The same monotone voice, sorry Drake. You do have great music, but not as great as... Like other artists. Thank you. Someone else have a go. I know it keeps going on about the females, but I feel like females make up most of the music industry and there isn't a single female artist on that list. And like, look at the past year, like, Dochey would be incredible there.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Dochey would be amazing. But also, if you're a fan of Drake, every set list apparently is different. I can't afford to go to three nights to watch Drake do three separate sets, but I get FOMO. I don't actually care about Drake, but I wouldn't want to be paying. As a hypothetical Drake fan. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:17 If it was Beyonce, and Beyonce was doing three nights at a festival, but she was saying, I'm doing different set lists for each, I'm gonna bankrupt myself. So I'd wanna be set lists for each. I'm going to bankrupt myself. So I'd want to be there for every set list. He's a great artist. Maybe he hasn't, fair enough. He hasn't released any think of substance fairly recently, but maybe
Starting point is 00:03:35 this is his, like, this is his hit back. He used to be huge, didn't he? He used to be amazing. Like he used to be everyone's go to. Yeah. And then he released that picture where he had Aaron Agrande sleeves and then everyone's like, yeah, no, I'm not gonna lie, I do like Drake, but he's not relevant enough to be that attention seeking. Not at the moment, I don't think. I don't think the young Jen are really
Starting point is 00:03:55 Drake fans. Yeah, it feels very millennial, doesn't it, to be a Drake fan. Oh, I'm not gonna lie, though. We did go speak to some people at the Spotify Raptor event and a lot of people would say their top artist was Drake. So maybe he is still. There were millennials. Do you know what? I personally will only be going, well, I've never been wireless in a very long time, but I think because of the lineup, I'll go for Vybz Cartel. Oh my God, fair. I went and let's just say I felt ages above the rest. Everyone was so young there. I don't think you should be going to wireless.
Starting point is 00:04:39 You don't think I should be going? No, I think those are the... Sorry, what happened to you say last week that there's no age limit on going clubbing, but there is an age limit on Kristy going to festivals? I did say that. I did say that, but I will say you just feel a bit old. It is what it is. There's no... Yeah, I feel like you're only...
Starting point is 00:05:02 As old as you feel. Yeah, as old as you feel and, you know, embrace it. Okay, right, next one. Here, want some of my packing? Okay. Oh, okay. Messy singer leaves fans gobsmacked as they realise she's a secret. Blank blank.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Nepo baby. See, that's what it is. Who's messy? The song, you know, messy. You know, that fucking football player. Footballer. I was so confused. I think his last name is Goat. Messy Goat. What? They always say he's the goat. Oh yeah, it's the full time. Sorry. That was a dad song. And I'm so messy and I'm so freaking clean. Oh, I thought that song.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Maybe I had a job and I'm so clean. People are calling her a nepo baby because they found out that her aunt is the author of The Gruffalo. What a reach. You know, the book, The Gruffalo, the kids book. Come on. That's crazy. It's like saying Sabrina Carpenter is a nepo baby because her aunt is the voice actress of
Starting point is 00:06:03 Bart Simpson. Wow. Yeah. But like there's no connection and there's no like. Yeah, but then could you say, okay, I think her name was Emma Roberts, Robert. Yeah. The Roberts family. One of her nieces, she- No, Emma Roberts is the niece.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Emma Roberts. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So what you guys did, that's her aunt and she's called that, well, she's named the Nepo baby, but I don't think that should... No, I just think as well, people are forgetting to make it as a Nepo baby and to be respected in this industry. You actually have to be good at what you do. Lola Young has been around for years. I think I could be good at what you do. Lola Young has been around for years I think I could be wrong. Oh, I read that she's at 24. Ain't she? Yeah, but she's trying to make it in the music industry for a long time She's a couple of hits and she has to be quite talented to become this successful
Starting point is 00:06:57 I fucking aren't isn't there going pushing out on tik-tok. Oh my god Read the graph alone, but also stream messy like there's obviously doors that can be opened and you can be pointing to the right producers and like be given record labels, but to make it as an artist is so much harder. I think you can be an epa baby in the acting world for sure. Like Emma Roberts can't act for she.
Starting point is 00:07:18 And you know, she has been open. Aquamarine. To the Roberts family. I'd better ask Mark Hayes. But like, even like Gracie Abrams, people are calling her a nepo baby because her dad is like JJ Abrams, the film director. And I feel like there is probably a certain level
Starting point is 00:07:33 of nepotism where like doors have been opened and she's been given opportunities that say aren't likely to come to any of us. But she still has to have the talent to be able to like make the songs that people like. But at the same time, I do feel like in showbiz money is powerful. So who's to say that you find the best producer, not to say that she's got a bad voice, but who's to say you find the best producer, you slap some auto-tuning there, AI is doing amazing things in the music
Starting point is 00:07:59 industry and she sounds how she sounds. Go to a concert, you can bloody lip sync and make it sound like you're coming. Do you know what I mean? And it was a viral TikTok song. So there could be people pushing that out more than usual passers-by. I disagree with the Gracie story because she was doing tours
Starting point is 00:08:15 and then she went on tour with Taylor Swift. And so she kind of like got on board with the Swifties and like then people started blowing her music up. And like, you know, there's videos of her, I guess I think there is a certain level of how famous she is. Do you know what I mean? That could be pushed by media coverage
Starting point is 00:08:32 and paparazzi coverage. If her dad wants to help her that way, there's money to be spent. But I personally feel like if you're not on YouTube or on social media singing your heart out like Jessie J did. Then- You've got to do it like a brother. Do it like a boss.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Then I think your talent is void. Your point of reference last week was Rita Mora, this week's fucking Jessie J. You're stuck in 2010. 2010, 2009. Wake up. Speak up, the UK massive. Next one. Oh, hot.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Sorry. It's piping. What would you do if my sausage fingers got stuck in there? I'd cut it off. Rebecca Goodwin is blank. It's time the UK public showed adult blank some respect. I know the story. I'm trying to think of what the words are. Adult stars and then I don't know what the first one is. Rebecca Goodwin is an icon. Oh, maybe. I know the story. I'm trying to think of what the words are. I have stars and then I don't know what the first one is. Rebecca Goodwin is. An eye gone? Oh, maybe.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah, maybe Rebecca Goodwin is here. It's time the UK public showed adult. Is right. Is right, yeah, maybe something like that. Yeah, yeah, I'm right, okay. Rebecca Goodwin is right. It's time the UK public shows adult stars some respect. Yeah, true that.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Oh yes. So obviously for some context, if you haven't heard listeners, this girl, Rebecca Goodwin, she's an OnlyFans creator. And she went on this podcast called The F***, which is- We shouldn't say their name, we should bury them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:01 That's what people are doing at the moment to stop them from going onto their page. Sure. We don't say their name, we bury them. So Redacted, Redacted went on this podcast with three men that sit in this strange looking flat that looks very cold and looks like an Airbnb I stayed in when I went to a Justin Bieber concert and I left at 5am because it was so sinister. And they get basically primarily women onto the show.
Starting point is 00:10:25 And I did look through all their content to see if they are inviting boys on. And it is all just a majority of girls. Bonnie Blue, Lily Phillips, OnlyFans creators. Bonnie's mum. And this episode in particular, they decided to really hone in on what they thought was adding to society. I think the way they phrased it. And they're like, what are you bringing, what are you doing for society? What you bring into society because she's an only fans content creator,
Starting point is 00:10:51 you know, really belittling her. And despite her sitting there and saying, well, I paid 200,000 pounds in tax last year, despite the fact that I'm actually funding housing for low economic families. They're like, oh yeah, but besides that, what are you doing? And nothing was ever good enough. And they were just there to belittle her, make her look small and really trash her for building a career on herself.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And the thing is with guys like that, they have no problem with sex workers until the sex workers begin making success and money. And they have an issue with women becoming successful and claiming their power in that situation. Couldn't agree more. The whole format screams to me like, why do you think you're deserving of giving someone a reality check? I know that they're trying to do a strong USP here, but the fact it's always women that come on there just doesn't sit right with me.
Starting point is 00:11:43 We might have to fact check this, but my flatmate went to uni with one of the guys and he was arrested under sexual assault charges. Yeah, this is an actual thing. Yeah, apparently one allegedly has a sexual assault charge against him in like 2013 or 2016. Oh, my days. So really those kinds of people shouldn't be the ones putting down other people
Starting point is 00:12:04 for not contributing to society. What does he do for society? He says he has all these businesses, but when you go on gov.co.uk, they're all dissolved. All 10 of them fact checked that this morning. What I just don't like about it is when there's podcasts like that, they open the conversation online for them, the female to be belittled. Like if you go on, obviously the good thing about TikTok is a lot of females have done like their own TikTok stories kind of defending the record good win.
Starting point is 00:12:31 I love that. On the Twitter now called X, it's a whole different story. Like the, not all men, but some men are just like literally like, yeah, but it's right. It's true what they're saying. It's da da da da da da da, da, da, da, da. So it just- That's what's dangerous. It's very bad.
Starting point is 00:12:48 It's a breeding ground. Yeah. And they found that community of people who share those like-minded ways of thinking and like their views on women and their views on, you know, women in that industry is so toxic because they'll sit behind, you know, they'll sit and jerk off into a fucking sock at the end of the night
Starting point is 00:13:12 We don't know where the money's going to there's probably some conglomerate that's getting all the money that Women actresses are getting and in this situation. It's an only fans creator that took power into her own hands Like you said and it's just fucking classic that a man's like Yeah, that's not right. Yeah It's different if they had different views on it and they could both sit there and discuss but they weren't discussing they were They were even allowing her to land. Yeah, I think I and even when she landed they were still kind of like saying the same question In a way kind of like mocking her is like they ended up there laughing at her and I rate her for walking out because if anything if that was me I was throwing hands yeah let's also can we point out the fact that she traveled three hours
Starting point is 00:13:53 to do an unpaid appearance wow and you had the nerve to sit there and tell her that what's she doing for society what's she doing for anyone else what are you guys doing what are you doing for society I will say Devil's Advocate though. Why would you go on there in the first place? You can see the content in the past that they are there to ridicule. They are not there to back up your things. Maybe like that's, you know, she's done a lot of podcasts and she's had a lot of good experiences with podcasts and maybe she didn't do her right research.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Or maybe it's how they sold it to her as well. 100%. Think about it, think of it as all you could get an email. Yeah, she goes onto their page. She sees, she sees that the views that previous things have gotten to think, okay, you know what, this could be good for me as well. So you're going to jump at the opportunity. So however they sold it to her, I don't think she expected it to go as left as it did.
Starting point is 00:14:43 No, sure. Also, the way they treated Bonnie Blue on the podcast was completely different to be honest. Really? I've seen them treat like, yeah, treat some on OnlyFans creators with like a little bit more. Yeah. I saw some comments of people saying like, oh, it's interesting the way they were fine with Bonnie Blue
Starting point is 00:15:02 because she probably aligns more with their mindset. And also I think they also had that girl who was on there and was like, yeah, slept with Tommy Fury. That was that podcast. Horrific. Okay, let's move on. Last one? Yeah. I'll do this one. Saturday Night Live, Star Packed blank blank, brings laughs and emotions.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Is this on the onion? Saturday Night Live what? Star Packed show. Maybe it's like- Star, star. Star Night, Saturday Night Live, Star Packed blank blank. Comedy show? Star blank.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Oh, what about 50th anniversary? 50th anniversary. 50th special, yeah. 50th special brings laughs and emotions. I don't understand that for one second because SNL is the most unfunny show I've ever seen in my life. Is it because we're British?
Starting point is 00:15:59 I think Americans have no sense of humor. I would rather Graham Norton any day. There's just like, there's nothing intelligent about the humour that Americans bring. Just so you know, you guys are throwing a real unpopular opinion here right now. Really? Unpopular? Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 00:16:17 You all find it funny? Everyone loves SNL. I've never met someone in real life that actually likes SNL. Yeah? I like SNL. Really? This is the thing. I did used to really like SNL, but
Starting point is 00:16:26 looking at the sketches and skits that are on the 50th anniversary, I think it's time to put it to bed. As someone that loves it, it's just, I think we've overdone it. It's gone so far and so stupid that these things aren't funny anymore. I can't believe that the rest of everyone in the room disagrees with us. I don't find it funny. No, I've never found it funny. I think it's like, it's forced. Yeah. It doesn't land. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:51 So it's like, And it's all just slapstick comedy. It's just like, look, she's got small hands and a big head. Yeah, the Debbie Dalman one was quite funny, but like it's funny the first couple of times. Then it's just like, a bit awkward for me anyway. It looks, watching them just like, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I just feel, I actually, like every time someone goes on there, I give them benefit of doubt. Like I watched Ariana Grande's one, I watched Sabrina Carpenter's one, Paul Mascow's, and I actually ended up feeling really cringed out for them and their scenes and was like, oh, I kind of dislike you a little bit now.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Like my respect has kind of dropped because your sense of humor is just not it. I think they need a little hiatus and just go out in the real world, experience new things, go on a gap year and then come back with some new refreshed comedic experiences. Because the show does have like really funny comedians. Sure.
Starting point is 00:17:40 And they get like a good bunch of like celebrities. It's like, oh my God, wow. Like if I was in that room I'd be like, oh, like starstruck. But then. My question, yeah, was going to be like, does anyone in the UK actually like us now? Be honest. But apparently people do.
Starting point is 00:17:58 It's like try not to laugh challenge and the whole time mine's just. Literally, I think I sat there like. Yeah, it just makes me like wince inside a bit. It's a bit like Friends. I don't think Friends is funny at all. Oh, okay, we'll stop there. I don't get it. Anything with like a laugh track, it just feels like... Is the laugh track the things at the back?
Starting point is 00:18:15 It's not a laugh track, they were actually live studio... Live audiences. Yeah, we're a laughing track with live audience. It feels like I'm watching an episode from a Disney Channel show. You know that viral thing, everyone's dead now that laughed in Friends? Stuff like that. You know that? You know that look? Friends and the Nazis?
Starting point is 00:18:30 That's wrong, I was thinking of something else. It's like, do you know what I'm thinking of? Just like a laughter track in like something really old and they're like, everyone that laughs in this track is probably dead now. For this week's group chat therapy, I feel like this is something that we all relate to, but something that I've been kind of like thinking a lot about is don't you ever get in the place,
Starting point is 00:18:54 well, the age that we are now, don't you think you second guess things a lot? Whereas when you were younger, you would just do things out of the whim. Yeah, I agree. So how the heck do we get ourselves out of it? Cause I feel like fairly recently, especially this week, a lot of things that I wanna do,
Starting point is 00:19:09 I'm just like, no, maybe I should wait or maybe I should, you know, I'm always questioning my decisions. So like, what would you guys advise? I agree. I feel like mine probably comes a bit more from like lack of confidence as I've got older. And like, I feel like as I've like compared to like five years ago I think I had like
Starting point is 00:19:28 oozed confidence and I didn't care about anything. Yeah. Now I double think everything I rethink how I look and how I'm like would appear in situations and it makes me really rethink choices and I'm finding it harder to kind of like say yes or do things. Because I feel like, yeah. I've looked back on the moments and found them embarrassing. And so like, that kind of embarrassment has stayed with me is that now I'm way more hesitant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Do you think it's like, so that's coming from a place of insecurity or if it's like the fear of being perceived? I think insecurity and both, like fear of being perceived in a way that I would find embarrassing or I would think someone else would find embarrassing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah, I feel like, do you think, well, I think with me, instead of thinking about what I want to do, I always think about how it's gonna look like outside. So I feel like, like you said, the older you get, the confidence kind of like decreases, but at the same time it's like, like you said, the older you get, the confidence kind of like decreases. But at the same time, it's like when we were younger, why were we so like, we didn't have a care in the world.
Starting point is 00:20:32 So where does that switch happen and how do we kind of reverse that switch? Do you have a specific example of that? Ooh, y'all, you guys like to get me emotional on this show, but I think example I would say, so waking up in the morning, right? Having that kind of willingness to get out of bed, you know, when you're young, you're like, oh my God, I'm going to go to work or I'm going to do this today. These days I woke up in the morning like snoozed alarm. I'm second guessing that. Do I really want to get up? Do I really want to, you know, start the day today? Not to say that I'm,
Starting point is 00:21:00 do I really wanna get up? Do I really wanna start the day today? Not to say that I'm not the best guy. But it's just a lot of thought. And I do feel like maybe when we were younger, we were super busy. So you don't have the time to actually think. Whereas now it's like, you don't have, I don't know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Motivation? Motivation, yeah. You don't have the motivation to do things. So it's like, you're second guessing, should I do it, should I not? I feel like it also comes from a part of like, maybe, we're now like, all these years of experience of life. Yeah. Bit of groundhog's day, like every day becomes the same
Starting point is 00:21:35 and like finding that motivation to do it again and again, when sometimes the payoff doesn't feel worth it. Yeah, I think my two pence, you need to give yourself some compassion. Yeah. Because this is a season of your life or a season where you're just, you're working every day, it's cold, it's winter.
Starting point is 00:21:56 It's fucking hard to get yourself to the gym in the morning. It's just like those couple of hours in the evening, you're so resistant to doing anything else but cooking dinner or like just doing the bare minimum and getting an early night so that you feel okay for the next day. It's okay to feel like you're just living for work at the moment. And I'm not saying acceptable and it's not the thing that makes us thrive, but there will be a point or an opening, a spring moment where you feel like you have a bit more balance. And I think accepting and kind of not punishing yourself
Starting point is 00:22:27 for not feeling you're 100% best or the 100% most motivated version of yourself is the best thing you can do. Because you're so hard on yourself and we all are. And I think it's just that classic thing of just like, we feel and especially consuming on social media, we're seeing everyone doing so fucking much. It feels like nobody on social media has a bad day.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah, but they wouldn't show that, would they? That's part of the problem, though. That is crazy. They wouldn't show it. And they're all having days like you as well, but it's just not the first thing they've filmed. I think we need to also just appreciate smaller things in our lives that,
Starting point is 00:23:00 it's not for anyone else, but it's for you and things that you love and just make sure that like Sometimes it is harder. Isn't it? Like when you think what is the poem? What have I got left? What is what they got left? Well, I what have I got like what have I got to look forward to today isn't gonna be as fun as like in a couple of months time, but actually maybe take those moments and those times to really focus on you and what brings you joy and you know only do something if it actually makes you happy instead of like I need to do this and I times to really focus on you and what brings you joy and, you know, only do something if it actually makes you happy
Starting point is 00:23:27 instead of like, I need to do this and I need to be in the gym because everyone else is and it's that time. And you know, like, who cares if you're in the gym, no offense. But like, if you don't wanna be in the gym, don't be in the gym, don't do it for anyone else. I'll add to that as well, is like being a woman,
Starting point is 00:23:43 I know obviously speaking from what I think, but like I find so much my cycle affects me, is like I can have that like, I don't even wanna say seven days, like two days spur of excitement and motivation where I feel really good and I feel follicular phase like moving, moving, moving. And then I have the rest of the month,
Starting point is 00:24:01 which is like the other 28 days where I just feel shit. And I don't think we give ourselves enough credit that there was so much going on internally and imbalancingly with our hormones that like that can affect you as well. And I think like Billy says, we have to be kind to each other and I'll be depressed next week.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Yeah. Soon as I get home, I'll get back to my rhinestone. But we'll all bounce back. We will. You've got this girl. Maybe finding like a hobby, you know, something to take your mind off things. A hobby? Like a little, I like crafting.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Crafting? Yeah. It used to be Eastenders, now I don't even watch Eastenders no more. Yeah but Eastenders isn't a hobby. Yeah it is. No, that's feeding into the depression babes. But this is the thing, I feel like the busier you make yourself, it does work but then sometimes you also need to be able to mask yourself
Starting point is 00:24:47 in that kind of like moment of like silence. Yeah, I agree. Of stillness. Yeah. That's what I mean by hobby though, not like busy hobby, like I will just sit there. Like a distraction, like I would just sit there like I'm Ryan Stirling some lips at the moment for an outfit I'm making. And it just actually takes my mind off everything because it gives me me fucking neck cramp, but takes my mind off things.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah. Maybe I'm waiting for the weather to get better. So go back tomorrow. That is a nice little walks because right now it's too cold for that. Too cold. Well, this week goes up to 15 degrees. It's a lie. I've been leaving.
Starting point is 00:25:18 We haven't seen it. I've actually been meditating every day this year. Okay. And that really helps. Just a couple of moments of the day. Like it doesn't even have to be like more than four minutes of like deep breaths. Sometimes that's enough to like curb your busy mind.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Do you know what helps as well? This, I don't know if you get those that have smartphones, there's well, the health app does this thing where it asks you how you're feeling today. It's nice. It's like, what's your mood today? What's, you know, what is, have you logged in your emotions today?
Starting point is 00:25:49 And it's like, oh, that's actually quite okay. Rather than a phone AI, it's with you. Why don't you ask yourself? Why don't you keep like a mental tracker and actually like, you don't have to tell people about it and you might find it cringe, but like I think actually it's really good to kind of like keep track of your emotions.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I actually really love it when people like rate their sleep and rate their like, they keep track of everything and they can look back at like, oh, this month was really bad, this month was really good. It's just a good way of like keeping track of your stability, I guess. For this part of the podcast, we're going to talk about our media recommendations. Who wants to go first? I'll get mine off my chest. Mine's really embarrassing. Mine is A Court of Thorns and Roses, a series of books by Sarah J Maas and it's about fairies. Porn. Very smart. The fairy, she, yeah, it's really good.
Starting point is 00:26:38 It's a really good series. I've read five books. Five? I'm on my fifth book at the moment since January. So you're just rushing through it? Wow. Are you even reading at this point? Just skimming? Honestly, skimming I think. I'm really lovely. What kind of smut from my fan fiction days? What kind of smut is it? Is it like...
Starting point is 00:26:54 Filthy. Is it filthy? Does it say actual words like Willy and Cock and Dick? She says like the size of him. Oh, boring. So it's all about imagination then. Well, it's like very, very on the nose. Some of the cringiest stuff is like feast on me. And it's really gross.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Very whimsical. Very whimsical. I'm just like, oh, I have to be past those bits. Yeah, right. I'm like, where are the fairies? Oh, that's amazing. OK, well, complete opposite end of the spectrum. My media wreck of the week is Harry Hills TV, but
Starting point is 00:27:26 I fucking swear. I have got- Lauren, that is worse than SNL. No, no. Is that still on? Well, no, not currently. Are you watching it on YouTube? Yeah, YouTube reruns.
Starting point is 00:27:41 They're all of the episodes on YouTube where it's like best bit. I tell you, I have not laughed like that in years at a program. Oh my God. I used to watch that all the time. You might have done so good. She's so tuned in so. Bye. I used to hate that shit. Oh my God. No, it's amazing. It's like a Google box, but on crack. Yeah. And it's like, I love Google box, but it's just, I watch it and I think, fucking hell, this is the foundations of my humour. Watching this, like, certain little things about my sense of humour is like,
Starting point is 00:28:09 a sausage in a fucking Xbox fighting in a costume. Wow. I feel that Harry Hills TV Bub is a real life SNL sketch. Yeah, they should do that. Big up Harry Hill, don't know where you are now, but come back. For me, obviously, I'm excited because it's the 40th anniversary of EastEnders and all
Starting point is 00:28:26 the great people are back. So you haven't been watching it? I know, but I haven't been watching it, but you know, I've been like just scrolling and seeing, but that's my media record of the week. So guys go watch the 40th anniversary of EastEnders. I actually do want to see it. I feel like it might be really special. Oh, this is where you've got like the young, young, go on.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Yeah, Grant is back and Phil's going through a depressive state. So maybe that's why I feel that way. You are linked, you are mentally, psychologically linked to Phil Mitchell. Oh yeah. I need to meet him guys, please. Can you guys, can you guys, I need to go to the comments. Phil, Phil, Phil. Phillip.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Yeah, please. I just spat and the spit came back into my mouth. Eww. I'll get it. Let's go. I'll replay. That's lush. Love it.
