Love that show. One of the greatest shows ever created. Love it. Can't tell you how much I've learned

about the anatomy on Naked Attraction. Truly. I would almost compare it to The Debrief. It's like... Iconic. It's iconic. It's comedic value, but also there's education in there.

Yeah. Yeah, you know. You yeah you know you're learning yeah you're learning entertainment through learning and anyway um like horrible histories again i'd say another yes yes another um so i was watching this and we were just having a good time and anyway it's going vape it's going um a bit graphic everyone but i was saying how a dick a guy's dick always goes to the left or the right because they kind of have to put it in their trousers that way yeah and I was just like yeah and me and my friend was that there and my friend's friend that I've only met a few times this guy

let's call him Dylan Dylan so Dylan was that yeah and I was just like oh cool cool cool anyway I'm talking about this dick scenario yeah swinging to the left or the right yeah and we're all like oh yeah fine fine fine and then he's like really and i'm like oh well i'm a girl like i don't know this is all i kind of know but maybe it's different he he then goes on to stand in the middle of the room turn around pull his trousers down and get his dick out in front of me and my friend. That is fucking wild to me. I was like, what the fuck is going on? I looked at my friend. There's you. And bearing in mind, let me tell you,

my friend is not like with this guy. I've literally met him and he got his dick out. You, a perfect stranger. Yeah. A perfect stranger. I'm not saying we were stone cold sober but we probably had two drinks like no no no no like max no there's no excuse for that there's nothing that you could forget during that evening no i was like and honestly we woke up and we were like why did he get his dick out like honestly what the fuck but anyway wackadoodle week let's crack on shall we

yes so guys it's obviously the start of the new month spring has sprung pinch punch first day of the month pinch punch first day of the month

yeah and it's April so spring has sprung spring has sprung the clocks have gone forward they have lighter evenings

are afoot because I thought they meant backwards but apparently it's forwards well done pete again entertainment through learning yeah thank you very much and also because it's um the new month it is april april say in like a foolish way like an april fool's day you didn't expect that but it's all here it's all here i loved it um but before we go on to that we're gonna mantra okay so tell me your mantra my mantra is i am grateful and will not stress over what i cannot control lovely and that's kind of i kind of know where that's coming from

for this week yeah i feel like i am but i'm i'm grateful yeah grateful. You're grateful for the learnings you got through your phone being stolen. Grateful for the man in three that took pity on me and gave me a severe discount while I cried to him at the counter being like, please. Honestly, and even I've learned through it. Like, I know you lost it last week, but I'm literally on the tube, like, gripping my phone. Oh, you should have seen me.

I went into central yesterday and i was no fucker was going oh i know i was literally like get off my chest i was like no one fucking come near me all right i'm gonna smack you with the phone oh my god i bet i would have been so stressed yeah it was an experience for sure but you know what i feel like i'm like i've lived in london three years yeah and nothing like that has ever happened. So do you know what, track record wise? Yeah, it was about to. Not bad going, you know. It was my time, I guess.

It was your time to learn. But what was your mantra? My mantra for this week is, I am enjoying each moment before they become memories. So I felt like everything's happening so quick in my life at the moment. I'm just like, oh my God, things are happening. Good things, really good things.

And I'm enjoying everything as it comes. But I'm like, don't just do it and then get over it. You know, don't just, oh, this is happening, this is happening. Can't wait for the end of the day. I'm just like, the things that are happening in your life, make sure that you recognize that you're enjoying them as well. You know, even I'm going on holiday soon i was like calm down to the holiday i was like no but actually so many great things are happening right

now yeah you know so just make sure you know i love stare and thank you stop stare at the memory or stare at what's happening and just i'm grateful thank you all right thanks for being here thank you um my um song of this week actually it's spooky by dusty springfield oh i love dusty springfield now if you could sing the song because i can't quite remember how the tune goes oh i'm a fake fan actually don't know that okay um so guys you're gonna have to look that out one sorry yeah um but i'm telling you i've had this one the last week and I went to the sauna last week and I listened to it and I was just like

it's the best song it's just kind of like cheeky but it's also got a bit of jazz in there it's not pumping you up but it is like comforting you it's spooning you

it is it's spooning not forking not forking only spooning oh no no no we're not promiscuous. Not promiscuous.

No, no, no, no. My song. You said I must eat so many lemons because I am so bitter. I said I'd rather get with your friends, mate, because they are much fitter. What a fantastic song. Foundation's Kate Nash.

Get it in your ears. Na, na, na, foundation. I'm like, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, your ears foundations i can't oh fantastic makes me feel like i'm in like an e4 british tv show like loving my life comedy about my life oh my life's felt like a comedy at the moment you know i'm like turning around what's happening next yeah so you're all you're not bitter. No, I'm not bitter. No, you're not. And so, I love that song. That's one of the best songs.

Fabulous. And are you ready for the recommendation? What's the recommendation of this week? It's a bit rogue. It's about out of left field, actually. Ooh, tell me. However, had one yesterday and I thought... Mmm, tell me, tell me.

Donut time. Ooh, really? I got a donut time donut yesterday. Yeah. Fucking sensational. Top of the pops. Top of the fucking pops. And it was called like,

it was called like the Bruno Mars and it was a Kinder Bueno one. Oh, I love that. Oh, I love that. I wonder if they do gluten free though. Oh, I bet they would. I think some of them are vegan, but that doesn't necessarily equate to gluten free now,

does it? Sometimes I'm like, if you can do vegan, surely equate to gluten free it doesn't but sometimes I'm like if you can do vegan surely you can do gluten free sure you could do a little gluten freer bit of corn flour sure you can whip a little sourdough down you'll be fine let's stay brave lovely guys it's April Fool's Day

so happy April Fool's Day. So happy April Fool's Day, bitches. Yeah. Happy April fucking fools. What's April in like a foreign language? Do you know what April is? Oh, Avril. So April Fool's Day. Yeah.

So it's a holiday. Yeah. Whose true origin is actually unknown. I love that. Like fully unknown. The fucker that created it must be fuming. He's like, come on. But also, it's so April Fool's Day about it.

It's like, got ya, nothing's here. Like Banksy. You don't know where I am. I'm in the fucking sky. When I looked it up, I was like, so what is it? And it was like, got ya. It's like April Fool's Day again. Mug.

Muggins. I was like, oh, okay. But it does resemble similar festivals such as Hilaria of Ancient Rome and Holi Celebration in India. So apparently it's got a few connections but it's not the true origin. But apart from that,

it's effectively unknown altogether. But what we do know is that it's the first day of April and it's received its name from the custom of playing practical jokes. Practical joker-onis. Practical jokes on people. So have you ever... See, this is the thing, right?

You've got Valentine's Day, you've got Easter. There are people in my life that I know that take April Fool's Day very seriously. Really? Like it's marked in their calendar. Oh my God, okay. Earmarked. Did you celebrate it? Did you ever have pranks?

Fun pranks? Do you know know what so i'm thinking about this and the only pranks i can really remember happening are the ones at school yeah and they're always just silly ones like little ones i was never like pranked like but you've been framed and like like i was never pranked yes but little things like i remember going in uh because we had prank day at school, but it wasn't actually for April Fool's. So I'm trying to distinguish my memories. But I remember a prank day at school, all the things were removed from all the boys' lockers

and all the girls did it. And I remember the boys took the chairs from the girls' dining bin, so we all had to sit on the floor like little things like that yeah but i was never like mug i was never there like when people like drive cars into like school halls and stuff like that well we had that on pranks day did you yes yes we actually got pigs released i know pigs can't tell you where they're from um but yeah we only had like little things about that but i can tell you when april fools can't tell you where they're from but yeah we only had like little things about that

but I can tell you when April Fool's Day does come up I do enjoy it and I would love if someone did like prank you oh I'd love that

I would love it it's a tense day isn't it it is yeah I know how about you do you celebrate it or do you know people have you been pranked

no well I remember actually this wasn't on April Fool's Day but I remember you pranking me actually did halls oh my god i did i remember this oh shit i did i forgot about this i was away like i went home for the weekend and then everyone was messaging me like when are you back and i thought oh they've missed me so much i'm like guys i'll be back when i'm back like back yeah i'm like look i'll be home in like I'll be back at the halls in like an hour, like no stress, no stress.

I walk into my room. Oh my god, I remember this. You and a few others had filled up cups of water and dotted all the cups on my floor, on my desk, on my bed, on my door, and I was like And it was like full of water.

She opened it and she was like, oh no. Like it was reasonably late in the day. I'm telling you, we must have bought full of water. She opened it and she was like, oh no. Like it was reasonably late in the day. And the whole, I'm telling you, we must have bought hundreds of cups. It did take us ages. Everywhere. Because there was not a spot on the floor that you could see.

It was like full, all on the desk, all in her bathroom, like everything. And you just saw her like getting a bucket, like, oh, well then, and just pouring. Like, ew. I was like, thanks guys. But the funny thing about the pranks is you do over there you're like ah and then you just right well it's done now do you know what i mean

um but so interesting so i asked the debrief um how many of you yeah celebrate for april 4th day yeah and when i was like celebrate i'm not gonna say happy April Fools Day. I'm like, how many of you actually prank? Like plan a prank. How many, exactly. I was like, debriefers, tell me,

how many of you actually plan a prank? Yeah. Do you want to guess? Yeah. I'm going to guess like, 25%. 25% celebrate. Yeah.

Well, you've underestimated the debriefers you have. Damn. 40% said they do. 40 60 said no which i was like fair because who's got time for pranking yeah but the 40 percent every damn fucking year don't take me as a mug i'm on it no no i'm doing it i was so impressed by it so that's a lot of commitment yeah yeah but then i did start to think so 60 40 so 60 like no 40 yes it did get to me

thinking like there are such great things about prank day about april fool's day it is the only day i would say it's the only day you could do a thing and people not be like what the fuck you kind of get away with you know what i? I feel you get like a hall pass. It's like a silly day. It's a silly, silly day. It's a silly, silly day. You know, don't take life too seriously. It's kind of like, I've given you a hall pass. You can prank me and I can prank you

so we can be on edge. Yes, yes. But people say, I don't know. People are like, oh no, because it gives you an excuse to like annoy someone when it shouldn't. And I'm like, I don't know. What do you think?

I feel like it depends what you're doing because I'm like, sometimes someone when it shouldn't. And I'm like, no. I don't know. What do you think? I feel like it depends what you're doing. Because I'm like, sometimes I'm like. If you shave men, I'll be livid. Yeah, yeah. It's not a prank. If you're, like, cutting me eyelashes off, I'd be annoyed. Oh, my God. I'd be annoyed.

I'd take you to court. I feel like it depends. Yeah, it depends what you do. I'm like, if you key my car and you're like, joke, I'd be like, well, you're paying for it. Yeah, yeah. If you, like, take all the clothes out my wardrobe i'll be like huh yeah funny yeah yeah exactly like replaced on my clothes with suits or something that would be quite funny it is it's like the ratio or the or the extremity is that word yes yeah yeah it's the extremity of the prank yes it's like am i gonna

really like i would love if i came into the room and there were photos of you everywhere i'd be like hilarious really funny if i came into the room and you'd shit on my car yeah then then i'd be annoyed because i'd be like it stinks all right it's so we are gonna talk about pranks that have gone wrong and oh my god i've got some fantastic i've got some really good ones so we asked the debrief again yeah can you send in some hilarious pranks that you've done but that went wrong and did they give they served they absolutely giving is they ate they didn't think they ate they ate they ate they ate okay let me tell you what yeah are you ready yeah so me and my best friend were at uni together we both had this lecturer that she couldn't stand

always rude and always picked on her on april fool's day i wrote him a love letter confessing her feelings for him and signed it off as my best friend at the end of the class he asked her to stay behind and i was shitting myself outside when she came back out she looked so confused yeah he in return had confessed his feelings for her and said he couldn't keep his eyes off her in class but because of their situation it couldn't go further but maybe one day no that's feral but you know what that is like april falls on you it's like uno reverse she's waiting outside giggling she's gonna get told off and she comes out like bitch he fancied me i can't like actually actually i'm fucking hot shit so is it a joke eyes off me is it no not a joke not a joke but then it

would be worse if he was like couldn't keep my eyes off you and then he's like huh april falls then i'd be like whoa that's fucking savage that's fucking savage that's savage that is savage okay I've got one yeah so I put hair removal cream in my sister's shampoo

when we were around 13 luckily she didn't go bald but her hair went so patchy and it was the worst trouble I was ever in I was grounded for three months and not allowed to go see any friends or do anything

outside of school that is so bad thing as well like it's such a like but you would die and it's almost worse i don't know whether it's actually this is controversial but it's worse than it was patrick but you just got little bald spots like sully yeah like the lorax like what are you doing darling like oh my god i'd be so devout i can't even i would never speak to my sister again so i got another one i once pranked my ex-boyfriend on april fool's day when we woke up in the morning i turned around him and said i can't believe what you did how How could you not tell me this? I was so excited to see him panic and not know what he's done.

But boy, was I wrong. He burst into tears and started crying, saying, I'm so sorry. She means nothing to me. I turned out to be the real fool that day, although maybe overthinking. But the fact I played that silly game, my gut wanted me to know.

The universe works in mysterious ways. Can you imagine that? I know what you've done. I'd be like, you've saved me once. I'd be like, wait, what? Wait, no, no.

Where are the cameras? Rewind, rewind, rewind. Are you doing the joke too? Yeah. Are you playing along? You're playing, you're playing. You're playing along. But can you imagine if her if she was then

like like that and then he was like shit she doesn't know did he just wipe this tits like got you hey no joke joke it's april fool's day but then how do you even get out of that being like i was doing a joke for april fool's i was i was i was pulling an april fool's prank prank on you but now you're saying that you cheated on me? That's fucking savage. That's so bad. That is so bad. Okay, I will. I pulled the fire alarm at school,

but there was so much panic to leave that someone tripped and broke their arm and no one knows it was me to this day. Imagine you caused a fucking stampede. Someone breaks their arm and you're like oops wasn't me i mean at what point do you confess i think the guilt would have eaten me alive i don't know if i could have gone to the grave with that but some people can it's like that can really do it god yeah so i've got one i primed my girlfriend last year on april fool's day while we were away

with her family i told her that unfortunately i had to go back home and leave the holiday as there was a family emergency wink wink yeah but really i went to the pub for the day to watch rugby when i got back i went into her hotel room and kissed her on the neck from behind and she hit me over the head with the chair i ended up with concussion. The joke was on me. You tried to do one fucking... But do you know what? I actually thought of that. Why are you doing that? Why?

Why are you lying saying you go home so that you get a pub trip to then surprise her with sexy time later? That's scary. You think that was an intruder. Yeah, yeah. I would smack him over the head with a chair. Yeah.

You deserve that smack on the head. Yeah, stupid. But I'm also just like, why would you not just say, love, can I go to the pub? Yeah, of course you can, darling. Yeah. I'll see you later to watch the head. Yeah, stupid. But I'm also just like, why would you not just say, love, can I go to the pub? Yeah, of course you can, darling. Yeah. See you later to watch the rugby.

Fine. Chill. Why are you making elaborate stories because of April Fool's? Silly fucking lies. They're blaming it on, that's the one. You're blaming it on April Fool's

then for your silliness. Now, boys, if you're listening to this, April Fool's is not your scapegoat. Certainly not. And it's not an excuse to fall back on my friends. No, it's not. It is absolutely not.

No excuses here. Remember that. Mine, I've got I wanted to scare my parents so I bought some celebration poppers and planned to go into their room at night to set it off. I waited outside the door, burst in, set the poppers off only to

walk in on them shagging. Oh, God. It's then like a celebration as well. It's like, why are you celebrating us shagging, you freak? I wasn't cheering you on. Yeah, it's like, go faster, Dad, go faster. Change positions. It's like, what the what is going on?

Oh, my God, hilarious. That's so funny funny it's quite it's quite similar to the other one okay so i tried to pick a pretend fight with my boyfriend as a joke on april fool's day and said we should just break up and he was like oh thank god you felt the same i've been thinking about this for weeks oh my god safe to say the joke was on me you shouldn't do this girls you shouldn't you't. Girls, this is a message to everyone. Don't. Do not do the fake.

You've done something. The fake. We should break up. But also, in your reverse card, they knew it in their gut. You did. They knew it in their gut. You did. You did.

Because I'm telling you, this girl, the girl before that was like, I know what you've done. Yeah. She didn't know you'd done anything. She was like, universe told me. Yeah. So I'm like, I'm 50-50. Yeah. It's a hard one. If you do it and it succeeds, then rate us, okay?

Yeah, if you do it and it doesn't. We never told you. We never said that. We didn't say anything. Okay. Yeah. We are on debrief dilemmas. Yes.

Hey, girls. This just happened four hours ago, and I need your help. I don't know what to do. Oh, my God. Fresh off the press. Fresh off April Fool's Day's day the oven oh my gosh okay fantastic i've been in love with the same guy for four years we've never made the move as we've both been unavailable in other relationships but now we're both single okay

today early morning we're at a friend's party last night whilst we had booze in our system still and i got the courage i told him how i felt about him and that i'd love to go on a date good on you girl i love also how she's like early hours of the morning here we go like literally that's the time when these things happen i'm sure it didn't sound that put together as i was still tipsy but i made my feelings clear okay he laughed and said oh stop i know what you're doing it's april 1st then walked about laughing saying what are you like i was so confused and i didn't know what he meant by april 1st then i realized i don't know what to do do i approach it again or the fact that he laughed

saying that he's complete is that him saying he's completely disinterested in the whole idea please help me i'm panicking and seeing him tomorrow night for a pop quiz oh darling oh my gosh i i personally and again i give advice never take it myself um i personally do not see that as a pie i don't i don't think he's pying you but i but i also could see why he said that because from the the messages we just got from the girls that have just doubted their boyfriends and them saying yes and cheating, yes, we'll break up.

What if you were then Uno reverse pranking him? He would have been upset. Because he wouldn't want to make his, if he was like, oh my God, yeah, like, oh my God, I'd love to. And you were like, Abby April Fool's bitch. Yeah. Like then he'd feel butthurt about it.

Yeah, he'd butthurt. But, butthurt. Butthurt. But maybe be be like maybe have a bit more dodge courage go to the pub quiz have a few little drinkies wait for a moment you're by yourself and be like oh by the way like you know last night when i said i'd love to grab a drink like just the two of us like i i did genuinely mean that um i'm like it could be his friends or it could be more, but I don't know.

I just, I'd love to do that sometime. I think you've hit the nail on the head. Absolutely. Casual, light, airy. Casual, light, airy. You're cool, calm, collected and sexy. And you're meeting up, pub quizzing. You're having a few drinky poos.

Fantastic. So you've got the same liquid courage that you did last time. You seem to be getting on anyway. You seem to be close so then just find a moment and just be like as you said make it casual make it sweet don't take this as a pie i seriously do not think it as a pie no because also can you imagine if he asked you and it was on april fool's day and someone's like oh it's april fool's day today you would doubt it you'd be like oh my gosh oh my gosh yes he was maybe protecting himself yeah i, I agree.

I think it's a positive thing. No, I'm excited for you guys. I love love. I love a blossoming journey. Yeah, please let us know how it goes. Because I always really want to know how it goes. No, I love love. You've got this.

Best of luck. You've got it. Good luck. So we're going to play a little game. We're going to play April Fool's Truth or False. Yes. Okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Boston TV news producer Homer Silley produced a TV broadcast about a hill in Massachusetts that had been oozing lava and spewing fames. He included fake warnings from the current president. He implied the volcano had erupted april fools read the card at the end however hundreds of citizens panicked and fled their homes no that's that's a crime surely now peach oh god the question is was the president at the time one, Jimmy Carter, two, Gerald Ford, or three, Richard Nixon? In the 80s, 1980. 1981.

1981. Won't be Nixon because Watergate was in the 60s. Ford and... Carter. Carter. I'm going to go on a limb. I've never heard of Mr. Ford in my life. So I'm going to say Jimmy Carter.

Let's say. If I spring this, you're wrong. I think it's wrong. If I spring it... Oh my God, this is terrifying! Do you want to count down? This is terrifying! You ready?

Three, two, one... You were right! That was so... You were right! Well done, Peach! You were right, my friend. You were right. Fuck! Okay.

You're game. Okay. Mine to you is... Oh my god, I'm scared now. A radio station. Yeah. At an undisclosed location caused a cliff to collapse so a radio dj said that the remains of a time of the titanic could be seen from a cliff top near a certain seaside town so many people drove out to go see it that it caused part of the cliffside to crack and actually erode and fall down.

Shit. And it was a prank. Oh my God. Was this seaside town... Oh God. Brighton, Great Yarmouth, I've heard of it.

or... Well, it's not the third one is it Brighton Great Yarmouth Or We'll see Scarborough Scarborough okay

I'm gonna just go with my gut It's not Scarborough But you know you never know You're like a fool Okay my thought process I'm gonna just go with my gut it's not Scarborough but you know you never know you never know you're like a fool if it is okay my thought process

I've never heard of what's this Great Yarmouth Great Yarmouth I've never heard of Great Yarmouth yeah to be fair

you have to hold the gun because you have to count down it's really intimidating I'm gonna have to do it I've never heard of this Great Yarmouth bullshit and I think you put it in there to trick me

this is my thought process Great Yarmouth bullshit and I think you put it in there to trick me this is my thought process great Yarmouth does exist I'm aware but I think you put it in the question to trick me because I think you knew that I wouldn't know what it is so I'm going to go with Brighton 3, 2, 1

you're correct it's so scary it's so scary are you ready for the next one darling yeah yeah yeah okay a newspaper in jordan ran a 2010 article claiming a ufo had landed near a local town oh my god the mayor of the town response was to evacuate people immediately yeah facing a potential lawsuit the newspaper staff apologized publicly saying we meant to entertain not to scare how many people did the mayor evacuate are you ready evacuate yeah two thousand fuck nine thousand or thirteen thousand 9,000? Or 13,000?

Where was the town again? In Jordan. Jordan. 2010. Okay. It's quite hard to evacuate people. I'm just going to get myself ready. 2,000, 9,000, 13,000.

2,000, 9,000, 13,000. 13,000. Surely not like Noah's Ark. You couldn't evacuate that many people. Noah's Ark. But I feel like it's more than 2,000. But 9,000 is a lot of people that would believe in UFOs and go thinking that they were coming, you know?

I feel like people can believe in UFOs, but if they said, oh, they're arriving here today, you wouldn't be like, fuck, gotta leave. Like, oh, okay, I'm gonna say 2,000. Okay, do you wanna count? Yeah. Oh, God. Three, two, one.

It was 13,000, bitch! it's 13 000 bitch are you fucking with me i'm so sorry 13 000 and back in 2010 guys back in 2010 that's a lot of people. Get it together. Okay. Nowadays it's nada. Nada. But back then, 13,000 people willingly went. 13,000, yeah. Thinking the fucking alien Alans coming at the doorstep. They were coming for them, yeah. That's crazy to me. A hand over the weapon. Okay.

Okay. Gmail. Oh. Infamously. Mm-hmm. Had had a major cock up, as it were, by sending on April Fool's Day, they had everyone's Gmail account had a email sign off of a Minion character doing a mic drop,

which no one could delete from their inboxes. So every email someone sent on gmail would have this gif at the bottom of a minion doing a mic drop which is great until you realize people work in quite serious jobs or people are messaging people to say someone's died stuff like that and it would literally be like this little minion being like mic drop and no one could get rid of it and it was a bit of a scandal oh my god okay my question to you oh no is was this in 2020 yeah 2018 or 2016 2020 2018 2018 or 2016 it's not 2020 i don't think i think we were too smart back

we were too smart for that even though covid happened but anyhow um i feel i don't okay you're correct yes right now now it gets worse okay so now we're on our final yeah we're finished with the the water gun are you kidding no no no no no we got something else instead we got a literal pie to the face a literal pie to the face peach oh my god tissues i wasn't gonna play with myself oh my god i thought i thought i thought i thought it was for the water no darling no no it's not a little snack this is our last one okay so stakes are high oh my god oh my god it might mean that if it's if i get it wrong Then I'm not gonna go wild

I'm not gonna go In case But I would do a light one But you never know it might be for me You might get it right So you ready? I'm so scared I nearly shat myself out of fear

In 2015 A police department in the UK uk decided to get in on april fool's day with a tweet that said no someone in prison you can get them released early by voting for him for them on here the prisoners the most the prisoners with the most votes also win a holiday. Where was the police department? Oh, God. One, Manchester. Two, Durham. Three, Birmingham.

It was fantastic. Take it on the chin. It's not that deep. Honestly, get over yourself. Please do. Oh, so funny. Okay, you ready for questions? Yes.

I'm serious question this week. So my serious question to you is, the percentage of people who um celebrate april fool's day are mostly children yeah do you think april fool's day is for kids or do you think it can be universal i see i think it can be universal i do see like a world in which there are certain adults i saw something on tiktok recently where this this group of adults have been playing like a five-year game of like tag oh oh tag like you know like it um where they've been doing it but they all they started it in college five years where they literally just like one person would be it and then you just try and tag them without expecting it but then obviously they've all moved

away oh my god um and this is the funniest thing they came back for a reunion and they dressed someone up in like like a woman's out it was this guy who was the tagger yeah and he dressed himself up in a dress a wig heels um and came up and pretended to be like an elderly lady to this guy and was like i'm so sorry i'm so lost he's like oh yeah sure and he's like fucking tag oh my god fantastic that kind of stuff i think is hilarious fantastic i love that and i think that and that's an adult thing they'll be doing that for years they will be although i've seen these this couple on tiktok and they um prank each other all the time but when i say prank they are like come home from work and there's a pot of paint over them and the paint goes all over their clothes oh my god like they're in bed water balloon on them pie to the face i'm like

there's banter and then there's enough then there's bullying there's bullying there's banter and there's bullying that was bullying that was bullying yeah that's too far okay so tell me your silly my silly question is would you rather yes get pranked every day oh god right but it's it's minor okay like what like your shoes have been moved and you have to go find them oh your condiments are all in the wrong order right like everything's been put in the wrong shelf your chicken's been put in the freezer little things are getting moved around all your tops have been switched around oh my god like all the stuff under your bed's been moved into your wardrobe wardrobe's gone under the bed oh my god like that okay every

day a little thing oh my god that would annoy the living all your contact lenses have been switched to like purple no i'd be livid so that or you will be publicly embarrassed yeah it will be horrendous on one day of the year you don't know when you don't know how and you don't know why you don't know when your time's coming but once April Fool's Day no once a year you it could and it will happen in public you will get publicly humiliated and embarrassed once a year, you, it could, and it will happen in public. You will get publicly humiliated and embarrassed once a year. And it will be huge. Like could make the news. Well, I wouldn't get like put in prison though.

No, no, no. Okay, fine, fine. Or you get pranked every day a little bit. Or have this one huge one, but you don't know when it is. It will change every day. It could be in April one year. It could be in Decembercember the other you don't know when it's going to be but it is going to be a professional team i could sometimes have it within two days the end of one year and start the other yeah you could have it december 31st and january 3rd you just don't know

i'm telling you and they will be professionals bring on the humiliation bring on the humiliation I'm telling you I couldn't live in the fear I know I know but I'm telling you everyday something being moved nah nah get off my back

why are you moving the condiments do you have a life why are you taking my stuff off from under the bed nah why are you moving my shoes oh from under the bed what now why are you moving my shoe oh no i'm telling you public humiliation you learn from humiliation yeah you learn from it okay character building and if it'll make the news i'm famous that's that's true yeah so at least although i'm living in fear it's inevitable so what are you fearing and also actually maybe after a few years you'll see you'll embrace see something happening yeah

come on here we go come on take me you're here for me it's my time come on come on what would be funny though is if someone like bumped into you and you think it's happening and you're like oh here it comes yeah you're so right here it comes and they're like sorry excuse me and you're like okay where are the cameras oh my god you're so right
