Starting point is 00:00:21 That's my life Heaten up Just always grinding Yeah Always working Always dry humping Guys, it's like bring back dry-humping, a little bit of a bump and grind. Did sex ever really confuse you when you're a little?
Starting point is 00:00:36 I was like, I'm so confused. I saw people just hugged naked. Yeah, I'm like, I'm so confused. It's like, what's going on? I didn't know what... I remember my friend's dad, like, was making a joke about something and said G-spot. And I was like, what's that? And then he laughed, but, like, awkwardly because he was like,
Starting point is 00:00:53 shit, I'm going to have to explain this now. Because I was like, I don't know what that is. I don't understand, sir. I literally don't even. even think I knew how sex worked until I lost my virginity. Yeah, I think I'm an active learner. I always have been. I learn on the job.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Yeah, I learn on the job. Yeah. I think I have to do. Yeah, learn by doing. Absolutely. And then I'm like, master. I don't know about you, but do you remember the first time you ever felt down there and you're thinking, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:01:21 It goes on forever. Yeah. I remember the first time I got my first pub. And I was like, wow. Like, I'm a woman, more than a woman. I used to be really excited to get my period. Were you? Yeah, I was really scared.
Starting point is 00:01:36 I was really scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The crimson wave. Yeah, I was so scared. Yeah. Actually, I'm due. Are you? It's funny you say that.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I had weird cramps yesterday, but I only had my period two weeks ago, so it can't be soon. Can't be it. Can't be yet. Not yet, my friend. It's Jason you all, though? Not yet. Should we do mantras? Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Sima mantra for this week is I choose progress over perfection. Bang, bang, bang, bang. This is me as Queen Liberty. Yeah. Stoic, strong. A queen, a presence. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:06 An honour. Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. I thought, everyone focuses too much. I've got to do this. And this specifically, for me, this wants to do with the gym. I was like, sometimes you're like, oh my God, there's nothing more, less that I want to do it in this life. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I can go to the gym right now. Yeah. But it was like, bit by bit. Progress. Progress, progress, progress. Because, you know, sometimes I think, well, I can't be honest, because it's not exactly like, I'll get the booty overnight. It's not about overnight. These things take time. It's not about, what's it? It's not delayed gratification. Immediately gratification. Yeah. It's about delayed. Okay. These things take time. Takes time. And then that's what's going to be worth it. It's like, going to turn around one day and the bunder's going to be like, it's going to be huge. And you're going to be like, you were literally the sexist woman alive. And I'll be like, you don't have to tell me twice. I know. I've been aware. Like, I've been here.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Where have you been? I've been here. Yeah. People are. Well, yeah. People have said it. Sorry. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:03:06 What's your mantra? My mantra is your laugh. I choose to remain optimistic. I love that. I love that. I think. That is so funny. That is so funny.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I'm not feeling. I think I'm optimistic. Because, guys, can we bring, like, not that pettiness ever went anywhere. Could we bring it back? Could we let it? I love a little touch of Betty.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Could, because I am literally... I swear to God the text I sent to you, I beam with laughter. I literally, I literally, it's my favourite. I just said to me going to say, who are you texting? I was sat there with the Tresia car. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Yeah, I had a hangar in my mouth. And I was just giggling away. I was that one to taxicating. I thought, what are you saying? You look evil. I was like, no. No. Just real.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Just being honest. Just keeping it real, to be honest. So I'm choosing to remain optimistic because I feel like we have things coming up and I need to not be a bitch. You could easily be negative. I just need to be pessimistic. Yeah. So I'm choosing to not to remain optimistic. and not be a raging bitch.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Oh, I love that. And I'm very proud of you. Thumbs up. Glazed smile. And do you remember the quote my mother used to say, you've got nothing nice to say, saying nothing at all. There you go.

Starting point is 00:04:58 a journey. How does it start? It's like, I actually don't know how it starts. Oh, it's so good. Because all I know, maybe we got last in translation. Maybe I asked more too much. And maybe the same was a masterpiece
Starting point is 00:05:13 for you tore it all up. It's such a good song. And when you get the 10 minute version one, insane. You're so right. That is the best bet. Because maybe I got lost in Oh, it's fantastic.

Starting point is 00:06:23 so last night archie and I just playfited a bit too much Yeah. I thought so we would, so it was just winding me up. Anyway, you know when you jab them in the sides, you get them in the ribs? And it's like, anyway, I did that. Got my wrist so hard. I thought it broke. So I'm like, oh, she's broken. I fell off the bed. Like I fully fell off. Like, like, I went on my hip. I was like, and then my wrist. And I was like, hold my wrist. And I was like, ow. Now, she's like, oh, my God. I was like, yes. When the whole time he had been like, Kit, just stop now because it will get taken too far. I said, are you a pussy? You're a pussy, aren't you? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:25 You've got to keep me in a child. Anyway, I thought my wrist broke, so I had to have, like, an ice pack in bed, like, all night. And then I was... An ice pack? That's how it was. Then I woke up this morning. Kind of hoping it would be bruised.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Kind of. Not even a... Not even a little quiver. Not even a quiver. Livid. Rackers? Yeah. Right, from our Racker.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Reconendation. Yes, sweet. Katie, take it away. Guys, if you're up north, I've... Oh, my. I was up north. She was.
Starting point is 00:07:58 She was. And there's a bakery called Florey. Florey. Right. How'd you spell this? F-L-O-R-I. Florey. Flore.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It's on Bishy Road. S-L-O-R-I. Yeah. Bishy. What a cute Bishy. Well, it's Bishop Thorpe. Everyone, all locals call it Bishy. Bishop Thorpe Road.
Starting point is 00:08:20 It is. It's very like they make these insane pastries. Every morning and every day it's. different. What did you get when you were there? I got... Oh, nice. I got... This is 45 Bishay. Bishy Road for the non-Northerners, Bishop Thorpe. In York. They recently... This looks lovely. They do the best, the best. We've got an Insta. I'm a follower. You're a follower. I'm a follower. I'm a follower. Absolutely. I always look every day to see how they're
Starting point is 00:08:56 rhubarb crops going. Oh, stop it. And they make fresh rhubarb and custard like Danish tarts. Stop it. You make me hungry. They do. I got a chocolate almond pan of chocolate. Yeah. Big time. And then I went in the second day and they had, it was, it was one of those things that I knew my parents wouldn't like it if I left it for waste. But I couldn't finish it, but it was huge. It was like this vanilla cream like bun. Like it looked in the big shape of like, and it was like a knot, like a big knot. Oh, yummy, yummy. And then it had hazelnut cream tied in there as well. Stop it. That sounds sexy.
Starting point is 00:09:31 And I was like, behave. That is behave worth it. And I was like, oh, and then I just got a pan of shock instead. Because I was like, I can't, I don't think I could finish that in one going. I don't want to bring it back with me. That sounds amazing, though, if I'm honest. It looked incredible. And I regretted it massively.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Yeah. When someone ordered it and they were tucking into it, I thought I should have gone. Is there's not. I think no one talks about the crime. of all of misordering yeah oh he's really painful actually and some dickhead is sat across you with what you wanted but you went for something else because you were going to be edgy yeah never be edgy never be edgy trust the gut yeah because i was like i should have got that so angry right now and the queue was so long that i was like well do you know what he's even more angry is when everyone's arising
Starting point is 00:10:18 oh oh that looks nice oh and then you look at like oh katie okay it's happened a lot in my life i can tell you That's a fray. Katie, what's that? Yes. And you're so angry because you wanted others to look at your dish and go, ooh. Wow. But they haven't. Well, they haven't.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Because I decided, because I was feeling skinny, to get the fucking C-Breme. No one's loving my C-Bream. Everyone's looking at the big juicy steak that I wanted to get, but I thought, no, I'll get the C-Brain. Livered. Livered. Ready to debrief?
Starting point is 00:10:53 Yeah. Stebre. This week, we are talking about the job diaries as it's September. And in Katie and My's opinion, we think September is the start of the year. It feels like the new year today. Call is a fall. Never. But we think we're revolutionary, okay? Yeah. Now, always feels like the start of the year because it's the start of school term, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:11:16 It does. It really does. We've been out of school how long and I still feel like it's the start of the year. Honestly, I'm my school's going back in next week. I'm so nervous. Yeah. As well as new graduates from uni entering the world and finding their new job. Usually they graduate in like May and they take the summer off start in September. Here we go. So this week we're talking about the weirdest, worst and most wonderful jobs you've ever had.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Now, Katie, I've got some good listeners they've written in about jobs they've had. Would you like to tell me about the weirdest job you've had? Weirdest. Or the worst, all the funniest or some job to note. I've had show many. weird and wacky jobs. Katie was a stripper. Imagine.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I don't. I wish I had the skill. You'd be minted. They rake it in. Thanks so much money. I'm so jealous. They rake it. I used to work at a coffee shop.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And that's when I learned I'm not really good in hospitality. Yeah. Didn't last in that job long. It didn't last front. I did front of house at a West End theatre. Did not last in that long. That was a bad job. You've actually done loads of different jobs, haven't you?
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah. Worked in retail. Yeah. Pharmacy. Pharmacy was my favorite job to work and I loved that. You loved that. You loved that. You loved that. I mean, I used to work at Barry's and you have to get up at like 4 a.m. for your shift. Oh my God. That's horrible. Barys is a gym by the way. So that's awful. That was intense. Yeah. Lots of weird and I mean, I remember in my hospitality job, they used to make me clean the windows. And it was like winter and it was really cold and I used to clean the windows.
Starting point is 00:12:49 That's absolutely freezing. It was freezing. Yeah. I was like, you can see your breath on the window. Or like, today, I had to re-stick at every single pair of socks we had. Stop here. That was a bit long. That was a bit long. I was like, this is unnecessary.
Starting point is 00:13:04 It's just so, you're giving me a job here. Please. It's like, as we said, you never know until you do it. Because I feel working in a coffee shop anywhere other than London would be delightful. Oh, yeah. I think London is the worst place to work in a coffee shop. It's horrendous. You get the most rude people, although I won't say just London.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I think America in general with New York and L.A., I follow this. Insane. I follow this retail shop TikTok account. Yeah. And they do, based on a true story, and they pretend to be the customers coming in. Oh, hilarious. They are awful. They are, like, absolutely awful.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I can't do it. I just want to try this on for my daughter, but actually I can't be all bothered. So can you try it on because you're about five, size is bigger than her. Oh, how lovely. Like, the things they say, but in the coffee shop, when I worked in one, they were just, to be fair, I remember, I was actually reflected on this, but we were planning the episode, I remember when I first worked in the job, and someone ordered a matcher. I had no idea what a matcher was. Oh, my God, yeah. I thought it was their accent. Yeah. Have I heard this wrong? And they said it again,
Starting point is 00:14:16 they did say match it. And I'm like, I don't know what that is. I was like mocker. It's a mocker. Yeah. They mean a mocker. It's a mocker. Well, call me a bloody idiot. That's hilarious. And honestly, their diction was perfect. Yeah. Matcher. Mokka. Mocker. Mocker.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And now you're like, inject matcha in my veins. Yeah, yeah, completely. Brought them out of mock and they were like, I ordered a match and I'm like, yes, I still don't get what that is. Yeah, like, could you explain? Please tell me what that is. Care to explain? I used to love the pastries at that coffee shopping worked at. Oh, my God. They were insane. They were insane.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I loved that. Although they had incredible food. Incredible food. Yeah. Really tasty. Okay. Right. So we got some lists, little writings about their jobs.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Okay. So someone said, let's have a look at Rooney. Hey, girls. For my first job when I was at uni and needed a bit of extra cashola. Love it. I dressed up as a giant chicken for a kid's birthday party. It was all about learning the benefits of health. healthy food for a birthday party.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah, happy birthday. Yeah, I'm a birthday. No, no party rings for you. Party rings. Halfway through, a dog attacked me. Because they thought I was real poultry. Real poultry. The parents screamed.
Starting point is 00:15:40 The kids cried and I literally just lay on the floor in a fluffy suit. Oh, my God, no. I'm wondering if the money's worth it. No, no, no. Yeah, I think that would put you off ever do. that again, if a dog was attacking, I'd be terrified. I'd be like, no. I would be absolutely terrified.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I'd be like, get this. Also, I bet they would smell that chicken suit. It's like, you know, when you put like a wetsuit on and someone's, oh, if you put a helmet on so I've got that horrible rugby kit smell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Grim. Okay, next one. Hi, Kitty and Katie. When I was 18 and desperate for more money to save up for a car, I got a job during Christmas. I worked as a shopping centre elf. Aww. Oh, God, I bet you see some shit in that job.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Santa turned up drunk every day and kept calling the kids little goblins. Santa. I honestly couldn't stop laughing. And to this day, still referred to children as little goblins. It's the best job I've ever had. Now I work in finance, bored out of my mind, and I miss the goblin.
Starting point is 00:16:47 days. Oh, you always, yeah, vibes. I bet you miss pharmacy. I miss that pharmacy job so much. You've got some great stories. But I feel like if I went into pharmacy, like, if I took a pharmacy job now, I'd be so bored. Oh, you'd be so bored. And also. But it was also the time, because it was during COVID. Yeah. You were just out of school. You didn't know what life was like. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I would like really be bad at it now. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, well, literally so many nemeses. Yeah. God. Yikes. Okay, so someone says, hi, girls, while I was at Newcastle, probably Newcastle uni, I think, I got a job at a bar. Oh, God. Oh, my God, this is so funny. This is something I do.
Starting point is 00:17:27 When someone ordered a Guinness, I poured the Guinness into a wine glass, because I thought it looked fancy. No, that's criminal. Every time I see it Guinness now, I cringe. Can you imagine? I'd be so embarrassed. Imagine. Someone was like, can I have a Guinness? and I was just like...
Starting point is 00:17:45 In a champagne flute. Cheers. I literally imagine if we were on a night out and the boys ordered Guinness and it came in a wine glass. I'd be so embarrassed. It would be hilarious. I'd be so embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Oh my God. And they're like, sorry, it's not in that class. I'm like, what do you mean? It's not in that class. It's supposed to be a part. And it doesn't matter what class it's in. And you're like, yeah, it does. Okay, so last one says...
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah. I used to work at a cinema. This is a bit of you. You'll love this. Oh, free pop. I used to work at a cinema. I was paid to go into the cinemas and make sure it was all clean for the next movie.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Oh, great. It was the easiest job. As I'd whip around so quickly, I would then always just sit in the cinema and set a 45-minute timer on my phone. Oh. The lights would go off and I'd have a nap. Oh, iconic.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Yeah, iconic. That's really good. My auntie told me once because she's the barrister. She says sometimes if she's like really tired, she'll just go into the court if there's not a court, there's not like a case on and she'll just have like a 20 minute nap like sat iconic i love that i'm like i love it i just can't i just can't nap like i'd be stressed i'd be stressed of being found out i can't i can't i tried to nap at a job i was in once and i was checking like every five
Starting point is 00:19:04 seconds upstairs because i was like what if someone arrives i'd like lock the tour because basically like we had like we were done for the day and the next person wasn't due in until like three hours later and I was like well come on I couldn't sleep there were no more appointments so I was like oh I could just lock the door yeah and I was literally but I was so nervous that someone someone was just going to arrive and imagine if they were like head office well I tried to swing by but studio was locked and I'd be like I'm so scared I don't know why that was yeah yeah really why I don't know why did I ever tell you about the school story about the teacher so this was bad to be fair really bad so we had a we had a big kind of, I would say, yeah, it was the costume department in my school, and it was like huge.
Starting point is 00:19:50 But it was like, as costume departments are stuff everywhere, like, this is this and this is this. It was just like completely chaotic. Anyway, there was a shade long in the costume department, you know, as you do, because you need to put your food. Yeah. Your shoes on or all that kind of stuff. Massively. Whatever. Anyway, it was quite normal for us students to go to the costume. department if we were in a drama lesson and they said just go grab something right anyway my friend went into the costume department to just grab something he was like I'm just going to
Starting point is 00:20:23 go anyway sat down on the shades long notice there was a pile of clothes but he just sat down on the shays long to put something on or whatever felt a wriggle and someone went oh like that one of the teachers what no and he like jumped up oh my god and the student was like, the student was like, oh my God. I mean, it was a male teacher with a male student, but that could have gone wrong. Like, imagine someone else had cut, right, I remember he told me that story. And I was like, that is fucking. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:57 And that would spread so quickly. Oh, and also it would get so, did you hear they were sleeping in the costume department together? No, they weren't. Yeah, yeah, it gets so smart. Okay. Okay, you ready for our debrief? I like this. Give it to me.
Starting point is 00:21:12 It's a short one this week. So, hi, girls. Oh, short one this week. Yeah. But would love your opinion on the situation, so I'll debrief. I accidentally found out my male colleague at work, who does the exact same job as me and has the exact same job title, is being paid 5K more than I am. Oh. I really, really like my job, but I'm furious.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah. Do I confront my boss and demand an explanation slash raise and risk being seen as difficult or stay quiet and resentful while job hunting on the side? I think what you need to do is write down everything you've done, write down how long you've been with the company, log, if you're all salary, log your actual hours, be like, this is how much I'm working. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:10 This is everything I've achieved whilst being here. and I've been with you for over a year now, I would love to. Next time you have a review, bring the pay up. That's very diplomatic. I feel like if you go in being like, I heard all of us get...
Starting point is 00:22:27 I know all of us getting 5K more than me. So cough it up, big man. It's really fickle. And it's a very taboo thing like salaries, isn't it? It is. So as a caveat here, she goes in and does what you say and the guy goes, no.
Starting point is 00:22:42 What are you doing with that? I would then be like, may I ask then why Stewart's getting more money? May I ask what Stewart's doing within his job role that qualifies? Because I'd love to get paid the same amount of Stewart. So what extra duties are Stewart doing that I'm not? I think that's a great piece of advice. And then he's like, let me cut the check. Yeah, I think that's a brilliant piece of advice.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Because as you said, I don't think you should just job hunt for the sake of it. No, if you like your job. When you said you loved your job, but I think Katie's advice is brilliant there. It could be like, I can't remember if you said, but it might be the fact that Stuart joined first. Yeah, she didn't say that to be fair. If Stewart's joined first and he's on a higher salary and then they've realized as a company, they have to cut costs and they've advertised the same role at a lower salary.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Yeah. It's like, it's definitely not the same thing, but people I used to work with when I worked at boots. There were people who'd been there for years who would never leave because their contract was so old. It was literally like they still got double pay on Sundays. They still like got time and a half for overtime. Like they had a really good contract. So they were like, I don't want to leave because your contract shit. And I'm like, yeah, fair. Wow. So he could have joined at a point where they could have afforded to pay him more. Yeah. Yeah. And then they've actually lowered salaries because they are trying to budget better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:11 And also, I think, as you said, and as Katie said, I think during that conversation, I think there would be a bit of a, oh, fair. Yeah. You know, we haven't really been clocking every day that Stewart makes 5K more than you. Yeah. But actually, we see that your performance is just as good, if not better. So, yeah, I do see your point. I mean, 5K is a big jump if they're doing the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:24:36 It is. So, yeah. So, yeah. But you never know. Yeah. Do what. Chase's advice was, that was bloody brilliant. Pails it.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Thank you. Thank you. You ready? Yep. So I've got one. I've got one. I've got one. I hate when people belittle other people because of the job they're in.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Yes. Someone was doing it recently about someone's girlfriend. I don't know this individual. It was like a friend of a friend, but they were referencing someone. And I was like, why does it matter? how does that affect how reputable that person is? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Do you know what I mean? And the job wasn't even like scandalous or anything. It was just like, why does someone need to meet your, I mean, you can never please everyone, but why do we need to meet your expectation of what an actual professional job? You know, that was, I just was like, I find this a lot with, um, sometimes people in our group when we go out and they're like, what do you do for work again?
Starting point is 00:25:37 And I'm like, well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think because we all come from very different job backgrounds. Yeah. But, like, I often find it, I find it a difficult conversation being like, I work front of house at a gym. Yeah, yeah, completely. But I'm also like an actor and I'm like trying to do that thing.
Starting point is 00:25:54 So, yeah, yeah. And they're like, oh, I'm like, so you just work like on the desk. I'm like, yeah. I'm like, but they don't get out. They don't get out. They don't get out. It's like, they don't see the career. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:26:06 So I find, sometimes I'm like, and they're like, how's work? And I'm like, yeah. But it's so funny because people not in our industry are like, I mean, I find it, no, nothing offends me more is when people ask, oh, how's the job that I'm doing my muggle job? Yeah. I'm like, that's not my job. I don't care about that. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:26:27 I actually couldn't care less about that job. Yeah, like, I couldn't care less. So why are you asking me? I mean, it shows that person doesn't know me if someone asks about that. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm like, I mean, it's different when we all come home. We're like, how's your day?
Starting point is 00:26:39 Yeah. But it's not like, how's your passion? I'm like, that's not my passion. Yeah. You get me? I get you. Okay. Ready?
Starting point is 00:26:45 Yep. Jobs worths. People are taking their job far, far, too seriously. Oh, yeah. Far too seriously. I think about it has come across a lot recently. But like, throughout my whole life when you're like, God, you're taking your job seriously. Like, it's all right.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Some people take real pride in it that I don't like. Real, real pride. I remember. I actually had it on the train on the way back from York that they were doing tickets. And the signal is bad on when you're coming from York. There's like a big patch before you like between Doncaster and Peaceboro where like the signal's a bit patchy. So we were going through and I show him my ticket. He's like, can I see your rail card?
Starting point is 00:27:28 I'm like, yeah, of course. And I'm like, show it trying to get the rail card up and the app's not loading. And I tried to get on the, I was like refreshing, refreshing the app's not loading. And I'm like, oh, I'm really sorry. Like I do have it. and he stood over me. Oh, God. And he's like, can you connect to the Wi-Fi?
Starting point is 00:27:44 So I had to connect to the Wi-Fi in front of this man still wouldn't load, tried to go off it again. And I'm like, oh, I do have one. I really do have one. Like, I do, I do. And I think he then saw me shooting myself and he was like, okay. But I was like... But equally, I've had that before and they'll go, look, I'll be back in 10 minutes
Starting point is 00:28:03 because I need to shoot up a video. Yes, but then I'm like, still so pedantic, but fair. Yeah. but hovering over like a bad smell he was hovering and I was like guys it was the same we had like a company come into work once and they were literally like we will not leave until this is sorted like you need and they were just hovering and I was like guys I'm not the manager like and my manager's off today so like you'll be stood hit all day yeah have fun with that like get yourself comfy on one of those yoga mats literally I was like it's just sometimes I'm just like it's not less so people take it their jobs too seriously, it's more the lack of compassion with certain situations where I'm like, you're taking your job too seriously. Completely. Like, completely.
Starting point is 00:28:51 It's, you know, have some empathy. Absolutely. I mean, I've seen an old woman accidentally get on the wrong train and they're like, well, love, you know, let's say she's going to bloody Peterborough, she gets on the train to Peterborough, but it's the one the director rather than the one that has a stop. And they've been like, oh, love, it's wrong train. Wrong train, you'll have to pay four to five pounds. She's like, what?
Starting point is 00:29:14 She's like, nobody was on the same platform. Five minutes difference. Should have, should have, she's like, no, you have to pay? I'm like, honestly, I'm like, come. And she was, like, so sad. An elderly woman. Come on. I'm like, come on.
Starting point is 00:29:28 The thing is if I had that trouble. This is maybe why, like, I shouldn't be in management. Because I live. I'm so lenient. They'd be like, I haven't got a ticket. It's fine. It's fine. Literally, no, because I always think about people.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'd be the worst at an airport. This won't fit in the bag. It's fine. Go on through. Honestly. Enjoy your holiday. Honestly, just jug it in there. You're just designed to relax.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And then, be bloody my life, that's when a bob goes off. And I'm like, hey. I was on that day? And I'm like, hey, hey. I'm not looking around like, no nothing. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, actually, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:04 You ready for questions? I am. I'm silly. And I'm serious. Okay, hit me. How important do you still think social media affects your chances of getting a job? Oh, that's a really good question. I think it does depend on the industry someone's in, I think.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Because for example, yeah, tell me. There's a lot of discourse with performers that your Instagram pages are like the new spotlight and you always have to be uploading shit. I'm not uploading anything to my spotlight on my Instagram. If you think I'm posting singing reels on my Instagram, you'll be gladly mistaken. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I sometimes feel like there's a narrative
Starting point is 00:30:45 that performers aren't trying hard enough because they're not posting stuff on their social media. Yeah. And I'm like, can I not have some privacy or? Yeah. I just don't, I've never known someone that's got a job. Yeah, from social media. Oh, I saw their Instagram page.
Starting point is 00:31:00 No. No. And equally, I feel that I know it's all different. but you don't see someone in finance loads in the numbers and going, yeah, look at me at my job. Do you know what I mean? I think the expectation there
Starting point is 00:31:16 that you should be sharing your art with everyone. You should be, no, I don't. Yeah. I've got a different, this is just for my friends here. Yeah, yeah. My art is for when I'm trying to get a job and trying to pursue thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:28 So I don't like that narrative so much. I think there's a real narrative in our day and age. that you can't have privacy that everything should be public. Yeah, yeah. Even down to treatments or surgeries or, you know, well, you've done it so you have to tell
Starting point is 00:31:45 or, well, you're in the spotlight so you have to share. And it's like, I don't actually, what in my contract says I have to do that? You know, and I think my argument there is that as before, my Instagram is with my friends. Yeah. I'm not trying to get one of my friends to cast me.
Starting point is 00:32:03 No, literally. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. spotlight, absolutely. Always being updated, always has right things, has relevant things. That's completely different. So I don't like that narrative at all. I think social media can be really, really good for some things, but I think it can be unhealthy for expectations of how you should be working towards a job. Yeah. Because I don't think that's correct. Yeah. I don't. I think people do that once they've got a job. Yeah. And they're like, right, this is what I did. Right. Fantastic. That's
Starting point is 00:32:33 fantastic. But I think social media can. be a warped perception of job hunting. Yeah, possibly. Are you ready for the ceiling? I am. Sealy question. Billy. Okay, so my silly question is,
Starting point is 00:32:46 Beep, beep. Okay, if animals had jobs, who would be the absolute worst co-worker? I don't know why I got it in my head. First thing that came to mom was a tortoise. Lazy or slow. Not even. I just think it would be up in your fucking business.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Oh. gossiping. Oh. I don't think a tortoise has a lot of initiative. Right, yeah. And I don't think a tortoise would be very like proactive. Proactive. No, no.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Yeah, yeah. Whereas a hedgehog, a hedgehog would get it done and be efficient. Yeah, hedgehog would get it down to gossip. Whereas tortoise would be like bitter. Yeah. Nothing worse than a bitter co-worker. No, nothing worse. That's a really good one.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And also, you'd be like, I can't be feeding you here. I can't be forced feeding you. You're not a child. No. Do the job yourself. Do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing worse.
Starting point is 00:33:43 The shrug. We can do. We're going to do. Right, guys, we got to the end. At the end. I hope you have a great rest of your week and enjoy. Enjoy, guys. We love you.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Love you. See ya. Bye. Bye. soul I've got a rebel soul
