Andrew just said the words
I'll give you a thumb
when we've done enough
Like the phrase I believe is
I'll give you a thumbs up
And there's something so threatening
about I'll thumb me you
while I'm done with you
Andrew just you know
You can thumb me any time
No consent needed
That's just a blanket consent
That's just a blanket consent for that
Welcome to episode 103 of trusty hogs
I'm Catherine Beoward
She's Helen Bauer
We're going to tell you about our perfect
perfect lives
And then we're going to answer our listener problems
Helen has her period
Andrew's being threatening
Emma's back from holidays
And I'm here
Hello
Hello!
Maybe not.
I've been through it.
I can't.
I can't.
I've been through it.
No.
Here, is it just the every period?
Nope.
What else?
Jacob.
Not this again.
I can't.
You shouldn't have named him.
Yeah, okay.
I don't like it if you have any communication with snail.
You shouldn't have named him.
So we've been aware on the podcast for a couple of weeks now.
I had a slug problem, which has been dealt with.
All good.
They've just gone.
They've just gone.
And a mouse problem.
What do you mean they've just gone?
They went.
They're like just not there anymore.
Are they under your bed?
No, we like put salt down so they wouldn't go certain places.
And now they're just not there.
So it's like maybe the slug season's over.
Then we had a mouse.
Then we realized we had two mice.
One was counter mice.
One was floor mouse.
Okay.
Now counter mouse.
Oh, I thought countermouse was original mice's enemy.
No, no.
Countermouse was very naughty.
very naughty
but not very bright
now here's what happened
we bought like these electric
plugins to make a noise
that we can't hear
to try and get rid of them
but then it turns out
it draws them in more
for three weeks
and then they go away
why would that be the same no
that Sunil bought them
I think they're wrong
I think he bought the wrong thing
I think he brought like a drawing in device
for animals
anyway
like a snow white plugin
like a silly snow white plugin
so but then
And then one day I was in the living room, in my bedroom.
And he was like, oh my God, there's a mouse.
And I went, oh my God, where?
So I came out.
And he went, he went that way.
He's gone down that way.
And I was like, there's nowhere out that way.
He's behind the microwave.
There's nowhere out.
And so what are you going to do?
And I was like, so what are you going to do?
And I'm going to capture him in a bowl.
I made him pull the microwave over.
I caught Mousy in a bowl, put him onto a sheet.
And then I threw him over our back fence.
Hello?
And he ran away.
And then the next...
How do you know he made it okay?
Did he make it out?
Yeah, because I saw him land and run.
And then he burned the bowl?
No, washed it.
Oh my God, we should have burnt that.
Yeah.
I don't know which one it is now.
Yeah.
No, we, I think Sunil cleaned it pretty well.
And he wasn't on, he wasn't in the bowl.
He was under it.
You know?
And only for like 60 seconds.
Right, so one's gone.
So Catherine's not coming to mine again.
No.
You lost me at slugs, to be honest of you.
Then the other one could not get him for love nor money.
I called him Jacob.
He was very silly.
He, um, one night, one night.
Not so silly that he couldn't outsmart you.
He loved a thousand pound sisters.
He loved all the TV shows.
He was just constantly watching them with us.
One night he came out, he found,
because then he started taking over counter as well as floor,
because he could have everything, right?
Yeah.
And he came out and he went on the drying rack and looked over at Saneal.
And Saneal looked back at him like, uh, and he was like,
Why are you doing a sultry face?
Because he's silly.
Jacob was silly.
And then he lay under the drying rack.
Like, I'm in jail and that's where you want me, but you can't get me there.
And then they ran away again.
It was just so funny.
And I was like, we have to get rid of Jacob.
You described him like Gus from Cinderella.
Yeah, he was.
He was so silly.
What happened to him?
What happened to him?
So I bought Humane Traps.
Right.
I bought, they're called Mouse Motel Double Sweet Edition.
so it's like
in green
in green
you bought a Barbie
Dreamhouse for the most
yeah well double sweet
edition so it was big enough
that if they get caught
they've got a little bit of room
you know
a bit of happiness
right
and it would just
stickers with it
you could decorate it
it was really fun
right
so I set up one on the counter
and one on the floor
what do you mean decorators
um
so it's like
it's just
fun for me
hello
and then put one on the floor
and then I read that they like
peanut butter
so I put peanut butter
so I put peanut butter
in and I put loads in
so then like
even if they did get caught
they have a snack for a while.
Right.
Next morning, wake up.
Where's Jacob?
On the floor inside of the mouse motel.
And he has clearly had a terrible night of it.
I come out, I see him, and I'm like, you know that feeling of like, obviously I want
you to be caught, but I didn't want you to go in the trap 10 minutes after I went to
bed.
And by the amount of shit and the panic and the, like, condensation from him clearly
breathing heavily, that was inside, like, I was like, you've been in here for like six
hours. It was awful.
So I immediately, like, run down to
St. Neal's room. And I'm like, wake up, wake on, wake on.
Jacob's awake. Jacob's awake.
So, um...
Sorry, this is fucking out.
And then, and then I'm getting messages
to my agent being like, you're supposed to be doing an Instagram
live, a great Instagram takeover for the
Soho Theatre. And I was like, you don't understand.
There's a life in the balance. So then I was
like, Instagram liveing for Soho Theatre.
Like, I've got to go here. I've got a mouse.
I've got a mouse. And then the Soho Theatre are like,
plug your show. You've got to plug your show.
you've got to plug your show
and I'm like,
there's a lot.
It was insane.
And then we get to the park
and on the way to the park
I'm holding Jacob
inside of a tote bag
so we can't see out
because you know
like when they're torturing people
in like Guantamano Bay
they cover their eyes
they can't see what's going to happen.
Guantamano, Guantamano, Guantamano.
Groundtomano.
Guantamino.
Guantamano.
What is it?
Guantanamo.
Guantanamo.
Well, I've not been.
And he's covered.
And
we're going to
to get a cop
please can we all calm down
because this is important
and we're going to get
and then Cineal stops and gets a coffee
and I'm like I can feel him running up and down
and I'm walking so carefully
so as not to shake him and then we get
into the park and then a bee flies right by my ear
Cineal just went to have a coffee
Cineal stopped to get a coffee on the way to the park
and I was like what is happening
but he was the one that was like we've got to go
we've got to go he's having a panic attack and I was like I know he's
having a panic attack I feel terrible right now
but you can't like after releasing the other one
over the fence, I read that you have to take them
like a mile away from your house and I was like, we should take
him away. So they'll
be back. Maybe.
Sorry, focus on Jacob Brainer.
Okay, so then we get to the park.
Have you ever read Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf?
Huh? Have you ever read Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf?
No, I read Room of One Zone.
Which is like that series of essays about female
writers. It was very good though. I didn't know what it was
going to be that way. I think it's Jacob's room, isn't it?
I think it's a ladder,
not a room.
No.
Just having to laugh with it.
Finish your story.
Okay, well done, Catherine.
You knew a book name.
I was so bitchy.
I'm so sorry.
Okay, so we get to the park and I get Jacob out of it
and I think you can just release mice into parks, can't you?
Like, it's all chill.
And I said, you have to release him near a body of water.
So I went close to a pond.
So I was like, then he's got an option of water.
And I was like, there's definitely mice and he'll make friends.
If you've traumatized him enough, he can drain himself.
But he's such a silly mouse that I think he'd be like,
he'd make friends quite fast.
Like he wasn't rude.
It was just naughty.
Can you stop crying? Come on.
So I get him on the floor.
I pull it up. He runs straight out and I'm like, bye.
Like, don't turn back. It's okay.
Like, we have to do a big goodbye.
Are you just left holding a double suite of shit?
And then, yeah, like, I'm holding the Mouse Motel and he's gone.
Put Mouse Motel back in my bag.
You put the bag of shit and condensation back into your bag.
Yeah, and then I went home and I washed it and then I washed the bag.
You washed the Mouse Motel?
They give you, like, when you buy it, they give you, like, a sponge to wash it out with,
but that, like, don't wash it, like, so intensely that it ruins the smell of the mouse
because that'll make it easier to catch them in the future, because I'm going to keep it.
You reuse it.
Yeah.
It's a humane trap.
Okay.
How do you think, okay, this is when it gets really dark.
It's not a sanitary trap.
So I've let go of Jacob, say goodbye.
I have a takeaway coffee from home already.
And then I was like, should we just sit in the park in a little bit and just, like,
calm down because I had like a BBC interview to then go do and then my tech and then my first show
at Soho. Like it was a really big day. And I was like, you're right. I need to calm down.
I just need to like just play my matching game on my phone. Yeah. And like relaxed bits. We went
and sat by the bandstand. And as we walked away from my release Jacob, we turned a corner and there
was a sign, massive sign, handwritten. Keep your dogs on their leads. Three gozzlings dead in a week.
What are gozzlings?
Baby swans, which means if three gozzlings have been killed in a wig.
I thought baby swans were signets.
Oh, what's the gosling then?
Oh, baby goose?
Oh, no.
There's dogs killing baby geesees in my area.
If they do that to a goose, what are they going to do to little Jacob?
And his mental health's not good after a night in that hotel.
I basically turned a corner, read that sign.
Sineal saw me, like, start to collapse me.
He's fine, he's fine.
I went, you know he's not.
He can run faster than a gozzling.
And he doesn't smell like delicious chicken.
Three gozlings dead in a week.
Yeah, but gozling's dead in a week.
Can I, Helen, listen, I just watched a series called Alone on channel.
Yeah, I've been watching it.
You recommended to me.
Nobody eats a mouse until they can't get fish.
What I'm saying to is, if there are gozlings available, they're not going for Jacob.
The shit's smelling me.
Can I say one more thing then?
If their dogs are going for the goslings and they're not going for the mouse,
there's then in the park, mean dogs and angry geese whose babies have been killed.
But I think their beef is with each other.
They're not going to touch Jacob, do you think?
I actually don't think they have the time.
It sounds like they're busy.
Well, you really have had a stressful week.
You haven't even mentioned my t-shirt.
Mental health gay.
Mental health gay.
It's a really good t-shirt.
But can we just all just take a moment just to wish Jacob luck?
on his adventures.
We wish Jacob
luck on his adventures.
Can I tell you
about my t-shirt now?
Yes, you're a mental health gay.
No, that's not the point.
Do you remember two years ago
at Edinburgh I did this thing
that I was like,
do a nice thing for your mental health
every day.
It was the worst idea you've ever had.
People loved it,
but okay, fine.
Anyway, Ellen, my girlfriend,
saw it and when we first met
was like, it was telling me
after the fact when I was hanging out
with her and my best friend,
Georgie and her husband.
She was like,
I kind of wrote you off
because I didn't think you'd be a laugh
because I kind of thought
you were like one of those mental health gays.
And I was like, excuse me what?
And Georgie loved it so much that she made me a t-shirt that says mental health gay.
It's so beautiful.
It's such a horrible burn, isn't it?
No.
Ellen thought I'd be no crack because I'm a mental health gay.
I think you're gas.
Okay.
Somebody's been to Ireland recently and I don't like when you learn our phrases.
No.
I have to tell you two things to cheer you up.
Okay, please, please do.
Number one, you're mentally unwell.
okay well hot kettle why are you here if that's not what you want from your women two things one
i can't believe i didn't remember this in the moment i was washing my face the other night and i was like
wait a second i've met the farmer well i haven't met the farmer from babe but i was when he came to my
university to give his father so the guy who plays the farmer from babe yes
came to my university to receive some sort of medal from the debate society because that's how
they would get celebrities in to talk to us and obviously people
were expecting some sort of like charming, like
little chat, a little bit of an interview. No, he's an
eco warrior. A little bit of an interview with this
19 year old who was like the president of the
debate society. This man took
the microphone. I can't believe I forgot
this. I have such bad memory.
And gave, he was wearing a black
beret and gave what I can only describe
as like an hour's diatribe on his
time with the black panthers.
Father hug at the actor.
He is like a warrior.
Farmer Hoggitt.
Farmer Hoggett.
But I just was like, I just had this like literally like very lucid memory out of nowhere.
I was like, wait a minute.
I couldn't have.
Yeah.
Was he like in real life?
Like would you have like, you know?
Um, no, I wouldn't have.
Okay, yeah.
But like good height, right?
Okay, I know that you think he's girthy and would fuck.
But it's not for me.
And the second, isn't that cheery?
That's insane that you've met him.
Second piece of information that I want to tell you that I think we'll cheer you up is,
as you know, I went to see your show the other night.
And I do have a slight bone to pick with you, but then there'll be a treat at the end.
So I went to Helen's show, and it's fucking brilliant.
It's so good.
It's genuinely, like, you really have, like, nailed the...
You've married who you are offstage, on stage, really well.
As Catherine said, I had a great diversity of performance.
What?
He was because of weirdest compliments.
No, I said the fact that you now do, like, so many acts and so many act out, so many different stories.
So many accents. It's so good.
You must come see it.
But it's so good.
But no, it was a little hurtful that I went to your show
and you listed all of your friends
and I wasn't one of them.
But that's why you describe all of your friends
as like being from Hampshire and Burnett.
Yes, so I'm talking about my school friends.
And then you list them out and you don't even mention me.
Emma Black gets a mention.
Emma Black's fucking, she's a thing.
She's been in my life since I was four.
You arrived when I was 26.
Well, it was hurtful and I'll say this.
I was the only one there on your round.
opening night so what kind of friends are they
oh my god they came on wednesday
they did yeah when you had it bedded in and practiced i was there ready to see you no
matter how well it went holy to not be considered one of the friends
savage anyway it's crammed i wait to you three times during the show and addressed
helen did you wave at me or you just slag me off from stage
i don't remember yeah exactly and listen i don't mind that if you were in my show i'd do
the same but let's not pretend that that was compensatory is this about how i
advertised trusty hogs the end of my life shows because I've already been doing this for a year
and a half so most of the hogs will know this. You do a horrible impression of me. I don't.
But that's not what I was actually going to tell you. I was actually trying to cheer you up
about your period so I brought you a story. Are you ready? Yeah. By the way, you bonding with my
girlfriend afterwards was vile and I hated it. You love it so much. Like Catherine is like
let's let my two girls get along. I do quite like it, but I don't like how you gang up on me so
fast. You enjoyed it.
So fast. Helen
described my brother as an
easier raise. Like
she'd prefer to be his parent than mine so she
would understand if he was my parents' preference
because... There's so much more context.
I'm mentally unwell, queer
and sidebar want to be a star
whereas he's nice, lives near home and
married a lovely Irish girl.
But just if you were choosing the child
to spend the most time with
would you pick the...
I got it the first time, yeah. Hi, my name's Katta.
um i'm bisexual i've got ocd i've got a hospital stay coming up perfectionism and then i'm going
to move to london and become a star and it's like oh brilliant she's going to be fun
whereas peter he's just sort of like i don't know i guess i'll get married and stay close to the family
home oh my god ellen loved it so much because she's met him and also obviously prefers him so hey listen
let's talk about my favorite thing that happened at your show which is that i met two hogs their names were
louisa and fiona hi louisa and fiona and they because of the
the bit of my show that I'm talking about how much I love gossip,
they brought me some.
Do you want to hear it?
Yes.
Did they say we could say out on the podcast?
They gave me full consent and permission in writing too.
You ready for this?
Yes.
Okay.
So a friend of one of theirs had just been invited as a plus one,
Andrew,
you're going to want to pay attention as a plus one to a wedding.
So she had no emotional investment in the wedding.
She just went with her boyfriend.
They're at the wedding.
They're at the reception,
lovely wedding.
Afterwards,
she noticed there are these yellow stickers on some of the names
name the place like name places what are they called place names what's the word I'm looking
for name tags or things yeah oh no yeah see place cars yeah okay we are all not very bright
well yeah it's tricky and we're tired and you have your period so listen we I'm losing a womb
lining so she's like I guess there for the vegans or something um but she thought it looked a bit
messy not how she would have done it but that was fine so she was a bit judgmental this friend and
I love that for her so she was like at the wedding and
And it wasn't for the vegans.
Midway through the groom's speech,
he invites everyone with a yellow sticker on their name placard to stand.
And four men do.
And he's like, great.
The four of you fucked my wife while we were engaged.
Not only, wait for it.
Stop.
Stop.
Not only was his wife finding out that he was.
He knew she cheated.
Wait, wait, but they'd already had the ceremony.
He did it to fuck with.
He was like, his logic was, can't get, I assume, can't get the money back now.
So might as well make the announcement big so.
But they had the marriage ceremony.
He got married to her and now they're getting divorced immediately.
They're not like married.
They are immediately getting divorced.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Not only was she finding out at the wedding and her whole family that he knew that she cheated on him.
I guess her family were finding out, but she did.
Get this.
The girlfriends of all of those men were also there.
And also finding out.
As it happened.
Is that not the most scandalous, delicious piece of...
I'm sorry, that is the wedding of the year.
Nothing will top it.
Nothing will top.
And actually, I do think having seen some people like break down weddings without getting married,
you don't get a lot of your money back.
So actually, if you want to go big, that is the way to do it.
Yeah, there's that viral video.
Did you ever see that one about the girl and she's like been jilted?
No.
And she sends out her two pridesmaids and they're crying and they're like,
like she just wants to say like let's have a party let's celebrate life let's enjoy
ourselves she's want people to be crying and be sad and then you can like see that the
bridesmaids like just try the best for oh god yeah well listen in this scenario isn't what
wait but the fact that he was able to go through the i do's the walking out of the ceremony
at dinner and then dinner speeches come after main before dessert i assume they did them
dinner. I would be like, let's move it to
starters. Let's move it to. But the thing
about it is, is like, I think that
says to, to me that's like a man who's
out of denial and into anger.
That's like a rage.
The only a rage would propel you through that
ceremony. That's like, you have
ruined my life. I'm going to fucking
ruin yours. It's insane.
I'm taking back now. Are these seven stages of
break up the same as seven stages of grief? So is it
like denial and then anger? I just
I'm assuming that he would be grieving the loss of his
marriage. Holy fucking shit.
I can't believe he's still not married
I mean you can't know that
I don't even have to get a divorce
Oh yeah 100%
100%
Isn't that good
I'm honestly
Andrew has thumbed us
Now Helen
So we've got to bring in the guest

Welcome to the podcast, Laura Ramosa!
Welcome to the podcast!
Thank you.
How the hell are you?
I'm good.
I'm good.
So worried.
Like, in a way, I haven't been for any guest with such a media seat before, because just
before we started recording, you said, can you curse?
And I thought, oh, sweet God, this poor angel of a woman is in for some, like, a horrible
hour.
Oh, no, I mean, I'm cool.
I mean, I'm cool.
Yeah, first of all, you seem so cool.
First of all, I'm fucking cool.
Oh, my God.
Oh my God. Oh, my God.
Cut that out.
Sorry.
Just breaks the microphone.
No.
I'm the con.
No.
Yes.
Yes.
No.
It's just you never know.
I don't know.
You never know.
It's so nice of you to ask.
So polite.
We haven't had anyone on this podcast.
So usually Helen invites Helens.
And by that I mean, she'll ask.
It means she asks people onto the podcast who are more her than me.
But may I say out the gate?
Yeah.
With this level of apologizing and concern for the rules.
It's a Catherine in the house.
Yes.
Isn't it like an Irish-Canadian sort of like joining forces thing right now?
Maybe. Are you Canadian?
I mean, I'm half Italian, half-German, but moved to Canada when I was 18, so I do consider
myself pretty Canadian now.
Yeah, they beat the politeness into you.
They have, yeah.
And sorry about that.
And Italians and Germans are also famously very polite.
Oh, famously.
They feel like in the world.
I am obsessed with your videos.
Oh, thank you.
I hadn't seen them until Helen introduced them to us, and now I'm like, oh, German
moms are me. I'm German moms to my internal monologue to myself is, is that. You are so harsh on
yourself and that's 100% what it is. I cannot wait to become a German mom. Although a German
mom is harsh unto the world and very confident of themselves. Oh, I, okay, I've managed to
invert it. Invert. So I guess maybe I'm more of an Irish mom, but it feels like the world's great.
Why are you ruining it? Right. I'm a German mom through and through. I genuinely believe I have the power
to change the world for the better
single-handedly.
And at the same time,
I also think everyone else
is doing everything wrong
and they do need my input with it
because I do think I see things clearer
than most people do.
I also think my intellect is higher.
Right.
Is the level of...
And I'm beautiful.
Yeah.
And everyone really fancies me.
Wow.
Do you need us to go?
No.
Is the level of involvement
in your life?
Is that accurate?
Of your German parentage?
Yeah.
especially when I was living at home obviously and in you know in your university years I mean
now it's a lot more we're not adults and I'd like to think but especially when I go visit
yeah definitely okay very very involved and super outspoken and no knocking on the bedroom door
just straight in there just straight in there yeah yeah yeah it's truly a quality that I um
found the most stressful as a teenager I used to work in Germany did you used to work at a hotel
during the breakfast buffet you get two minutes to speak in German by the way two minutes you
We don't need to speak in German.
It's an English language podcast.
I know, but I felt like, wow.
You speak in German to all the people
who don't speak German on the point.
It's like, it's a beautiful language.
Wait, are you not very good at German
and you're scared to speak to someone
you actually speak to me?
No, I can't you read.
Okay, I have a Berlin
in a hotel, yeah, I'm a hotel.
Yeah, I'm going to go to...
And all the other Kellenrenren was so Dutch
and she was Sylvie, and she was always,
Okay, Helen, make this so forth!
No, so forth!
Wishing! Vision!
And then I have a video
seen and I thought, oh my God,
it's Sylvie, and she was also
a mother, and I'm
that also. She's a German
mother. She's very good, yeah. No, actually
10 at a 10. Wow, that's
amazing. Thank you. You did the breakfast
buffet at a Berlin hotel.
Yeah. Why are you saying that with such
disbelief? I mean, I don't
have the vibe of someone who ever worked in service.
I think hotels specifically
are like such, I mean,
I did front desk at a hotel for
two and a half months. Which
hotel? It's called
it was a
I don't know if you should say the name but what was the vibe? The vibe
was like, I love that you're protecting the hotels on the image
I don't know why. Good for you. Good for you. I don't know like the Marriott
Courtyard, Berlin, Axel Springerstrasse.
No, it was an independent hotel but like very
okay so in Canada you know
Canadians because there's a lot of English or UK immigrants
in Canada are they're obsessed with like the UK and the sort of the
Anglophiles. Okay. Anglophiles.
And so it was a very, like, dark, you know, they want to do the dark wood, like, manor, English.
Loll.
Hotel.
They didn't say like that, but I am.
That sounds like a place for loose women hang out.
Yes.
It's a hotel, girls.
That was very Texas.
It's a hotel.
I'm going to pray for you.
Yes, me too.
Actually.
No, it was like dark wood, like, we are equally like you guys.
Wow.
Wait, what are you trying to say?
Let her have it. Leave her alone.
Leave her alone. Leave her alone.
Leave her alone.
Hotel.
In the age.
Dark woods.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like carpet.
Uh-huh.
Is that specifically English and Canadian's lines?
Carpest.
Just dark.
Carpet. Okay, yeah.
Darkness.
It's darkness.
Beers.
Okay.
Anyway, forget everything I said.
But like, then the, this is like, just, uh, just, uh,
okay.
I'm going to say this is just a hotel
that just hadn't been
like redone up
since the 70s
and instead you're describing it
as like a woodland retreat
for those who need to get away
and arrive in the middle ages
you'll leave with your tummy's full
and a head of plague
classic England
okay so you know
the lettering on the outside
was like gold and like dark green
something you see
they're going for like ye oldy British
ye oldie lowly low
you can murder your wife
I'm with you
yeah yeah
wow
oh god no but like
but then it was the most boring job in the world
that's a shame it is a shame
it's just the same conversation over and over
like hello welcome checking in
deposit everyone's always surprised
that there's a hotel deposit
like you know your security
you're like they have to take your card
yeah credit card they're like I'm gonna be fine
I'm like are you gonna be fine we don't know
it's normal just met you
yeah
And I had to wear, you know, a very loose-fitting, like, Vicarra, not Viscos.
What's Viscos?
What's Viscos?
Like a polyester?
Yeah, flammable.
Yeah, with like a name tag that's like weighing down the fabric.
You know, like, I'm Laura.
Like, it's way to do it.
I had a non-shel that was perfect and gold, but maybe it's just better at the Marriott.
That's better at the Berlin Marriott.
A little name-shield, a name badge that said Helen Bauer.
Both?
Both are all right?
First and last?
Yeah, Fra Bauer.
Yeah.
Frau Bauer.
Wow.
And I was so fucking sexy.
But maybe it was a different hotel, you know?
Yeah, maybe.
We didn't have carpets.
Was the conversation the same every morning?
Eggs or beans or coffee or...
It was just...
Good morning!
Morgan's a coffee!
And then I would pour them coffee.
Were you also the wake-up call at the same time?
Yes.
They...
I started working there.
I like my breakfast with a side of extreme anxiety
so that I'm awake.
Yeah, true.
Within two weeks of working there,
they realized that my energy levels were like...
Usually when I started
new job everyone thinks I'm on like cocaine or something and it's like I'm not I'm not I'm just like
the world's exciting and I want to make a nice impression yeah and they weren't too hard on it so they
were like right so you're the 430 a.m girl so I was the one that went and put all the mix milks out
on the tables like really early because they were like she can handle it but I immediately spooked
myself because the hotel was right next to like checkpoint Charlie so I'd have to walk through it in
the first hours in the morning and they'd be like rats going across and I was like
checkpoint Charlie it's like where the wall like you could like go between
it like the Russian side and the, like
western side in Berlin. But it's still
like creepy deep. Yeah, they've got like a big
framed portrait. And they have
like sandbags. Yeah. Like it's like
military sandbags. Just like... And I'm like
Donald's. It's not like, yeah. Yeah. Wow.
And a curry verse museum.
Okay, nice. That sounds amazing.
But I imagine walking through that in the early
hours at dawn with the rats.
You're like, let me prepare
what I'm going to say at the border.
But I also because like I'm one of those people
when I'm walking around the streets,
I pretend that I'm in like a different era sometimes
or I'm doing something different.
Laura just described an entire group of people
who,
because of a dark wood and some carpet,
decided that they were in 1920s, England.
So please, you don't have to explain here.
Like ghosts, like when you're in ghosts
and you're like pretending to be...
Can we talk about how they gave you the 430 slot
and you were like,
it's because I have so much energy
and I was well able to handle it
and not they were like,
she's on cocaine.
We need her to be away from the guests.
Oh.
I think she just realized
that might have been
like you're too much for the guests
Oh my God
and then
Because of that time I started
They put me on break
At a different time from everyone else
Uh huh
So I was alone in the
So also too much for the stuff
Oh baby Helen
No they made me so many cards when I left
Were they like thank you for leaving?
Like get well soon
Can you go down?
No, I'm going to message.
No, I'm going to message some people and check this
because I think I was popular.
No, no, fuck this.
I was offered a promotion.
I was offered a promotion to...
Work in the back.
Oh, my God.
To work in the back?
To run a cafe separately to it
that wasn't in the main building.
Empty.
Empty.
Holy.
Wait, am I not likable?
No, I'm likable.
No, you are so likable.
I'm fun.
I'm fun.
You're so likable and Laura's so cool and we're all fucking great.
Don't ruin this for me.
You know I want to be Laura's friend.
Please don't ruin it for me.
Well, I guess it sounds like you are, is like so fun and maybe not like a service place, breakfast, 6 a.m.
We don't know how popular Laura was at the hotel.
Oh, not.
I feel like as soon as it.
but behind the front desk, I had no personality.
Oh, really?
Oh, it's okay.
Oh, my God.
Please don't be sad.
That's fine.
I think that's how you're supposed to be in a service job.
You're supposed to be like, hello, thank you.
Have a great day.
Thanks so much.
Thanks.
And honestly, anyone in a hotel, I think you're not the bad person here.
It's the guests.
The guests are annoying in a hotel.
Yes.
They always want sex workers, like constantly.
What?
Oh.
And it's like, no?
I was like, they always ask for towels, but I guess...
Towels and sex workers.
And it's like...
Wait, is the word for both in German clothes?
Because Helen might have got that wrong.
Oh, maybe.
They're like, what? I just wanted a towel.
So you gave me a look.
Are you like the guests are not the bad people at the hotel?
I actually, do you know what?
I used to work at 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. shift in an airport.
and my brother then went down to work
in an airport for a while too
when I actually
it was not the guests that hotels
are necessarily not bad
I think I'm charming at a hotel
but I can see how people would be bad
you actually are
I've been away with you
and incredibly charming everywhere he's life
I hope
but what I will say
is my worst experience of working
is people in the airport
people lose their
freaking minds in airports
like they lose all logic
all common sense
and I used to work when I was 16
at the outset
outside in a hut where people would come along
and buy tickets for a bus into town
so by the time they came to me
their flight had been delayed
their luggage had been lost
they'd been travelling for 10 hours
they were missing a kid
or they still had their kid worse
and then there's a real Irish person
with red hair and they need a picture
and they literally would ask for pictures
there was two types of people who came out
right they were let's be honest
angry Europeans who were like
what do you mean we have to get another bus to the place
and it doesn't go directly there
and they could not understand
a word I said
or they'd be like
do you speak English
I'd be like
that's what I've been speaking
the whole time
or you would get
a level of enthusiastic American
that was like
oh my God
a laprician
who's a laprician
at the airport
can we get up
and you're like
first of all it's leprecon
second of all
fuck you
thirdly
yes you can have a picture
provided I get a tip
it was hellish
but mainly it was just like
it was bad.
It was just a horrible weather
and people just being so mad
they were travelling.
People do lose their minds at the airport.
Have you ever gone to the airport toilets
like in the morning?
Like everyone forgets how to use a bathroom.
Can I tell you something?
So my soon-to-be sister-in-law
I hope she doesn't mind me telling the story.
Nope, can't do that.
How about I say this?
Random person.
How about I say this?
My brother used to work in the airport
and they used to be like somebody
whose job it is to check that the cleaning
was done properly.
Like you have to maintain the service providers
and make sure that they're like all
their job well and honestly like it's the single hardest job to have to clean a airport bathroom
people are horrific like horrific and they get so sick on planes and they're oh oh yeah look i'm not
going into it but there was one woman in the airport office who apparently really enjoyed it like
found it very funny so she would like she'd be who enjoyed what as in she was happy to be the person
who the cleaners sent pictures to for like for her reports oh like she liked getting the graphic
She wanted all the pics.
Let's not kink shame.
Let's not kink shame now.
Sorry.
It's really good.
It wasn't a kink.
It was just like she found it very funny.
Oh, my dad, yeah.
Sorry, to see poo.
Poof.
Yeah.
Because people have so much gas in them from flying, right?
I would wager that an airport bathroom has sees more vomit than like a bar.
I agree.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just in terms of turnaround.
Horrendous.
Yeah, airports are lawless places.
So I can imagine the bathroom is even, I mean, you've got people drinking at like four in the morning.
And their flights delayed and then they're still drinking.
And there's nothing matters at an airport.
You're just, you're going for it.
Yeah.
But like the only rule that they make you follow at airports is still that if you're an adult,
you cannot go in the kids play area without a child.
The amount of times I've tried to kill time by going on slides and they're like,
absolutely not.
And it's like, that's the rule we're following here.
It's fucking bullshit.
I'm talking about you, Shippole in Amsterdam.
Huh.
That's not a relatable problem.
Hey, here's my other question.
You're both at Soho at the same time.
We share a dressing room.
We're best friends now.
We do.
So you're on at 7.15.
915.
And you're on a 715.
715.
Sorry, apologies.
Yeah, you should be sorry.
And I am.
And may I say, I am.
Yes.
How do you find the Soho Theater experience?
Oh, great.
I mean, unrelated.
Helen's seen me cry already.
No. No. No. No. Just it's so good though. Oh, I don't know. Sometimes it's hard. Where are you based for comedy? Toronto. So I mainly personally... Do you want to hear what Laura's done this summer? A month for Edinburgh with added extra shows and then straight on to two weeks at the Soho Theater. Sweet Jesus. I know. So I'm having the best time. Did you do JFL? Did you do JFL before? I did JFL right before Edinburgh.
me. So it's been
a long time, but I just want to say
when I said tears, I mean
personally, I'm just been away from home
for so long. We just, you know, caught me
in a moment of homesickness. That's so
fair. We're out of people because I'm
so emotional. Very emotional
and motherly as well. Really
earnest and sincere.
But no, I'm having a blast at the
Soho and I'm so happy to be here.
It's been such an iconic. But that's so hard to be away from
home for six weeks. When do you go home?
I go home in a couple
weeks. More weeks? Where else are you going? I'm not doing shows but I'm going to go, my parents live
in Italy and I'm just going to go visit them for a couple weeks before going home. Okay, that's amazing.
It's also still like a trip with the family. Like it's still not quite full switch off. But it is the land
of comfort food. Like if you were ever going to go to a place to eat, just like eat your feelings that
you wanted to be Italy. Yes, it's true. And what do you go for ice cream or like the pastas? Everything.
All of it. Just eat. Eat, eat, eat. Come on. Incredible. I know. Absolutely. And so who's waiting at home for
so which like Canada home yeah oh my husband he's here now but he's going back this weekend
yeah yeah yeah I love that he was like I won't be coming to see your parents oh yeah
and we can cut that out if you like yes no no it's all good I'll do the first section of the
trip yeah yeah I will be leaving as you go to see your family I just think for me of doing a full
month at Edinburgh and then straight to Soho for a couple of weeks oh no obviously you could
only trick a foreigner into that, no offence.
But I only did two weeks at Edinburgh, so it felt okay.
But yeah, it's fucking, but I also said to you, like, you've earned your badge now.
Yeah, point proven.
You know the, like, I've done the full month at Edinburgh.
Once you've done it, you don't have to do it again.
Yeah.
I say that as two women who learned that lesson and then went back and did it again.
You did the full month again.
Oh, you've done it three times.
I've done it three full hours for full months.
So.
The Irish love to self-harm.
Oh, yeah, self-flatulation, that's all that is.
I've heard that, you know, after you do it, there's like a period of like, no, no, no, never doing it again.
But then, like, the spring comes around and they're kind of like, it's kind of like having a baby where you forget the birth that occurred with your first baby.
Except imagine every single year, everyone you know is having a baby.
So it's not a case of like you'll be the one.
You know what I'm saying?
Everyone's doing it.
And if you don't do it, you might be missing out on this amazing thing.
Yeah.
has it been amazing every time
no are you crazy
okay
we're both so medicated
we spend so much
if we make money from Edinburgh
it goes on therapy
like it's sad
it's bad
yeah I'm no no
but it's basically like
it's a trade fair
right it's like you go
here my wares
and hopefully that gets you enough
work during the year
that it's fine that you lost all your money
and well-being
and you know
a sense of self while you're there.
What I would recommend is writing yourself a note.
Now.
Yeah, like, just how, like, it's been an amazing experience,
but, like, what do you really think you got out of doing it
as an endurance test?
Helen, no word.
Last time you saw her, she cried because she's homesick.
You're now like, hey, babe, in the midst of this year.
Why do you write it out and actually think about it?
Did you get anything from this?
No, you get it stuff from it, but it's like,
do I have to do the full thing?
because obviously we all want to create new shows.
Like, I always want to do a new hour.
But, like, how am I going to take that around
and it be the most enjoyable way of doing it?
Right?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I had to do it at least once.
Yeah, you definitely had to do it.
And you get your brownie badge and you put it on your sash.
And well done.
And well done.
Yeah.
Oh, thanks.
Thanks.
No, it was all in all, a very positive experience.
And I learned so much.
I really, really did.
But yeah, it was tiring.
Of course.
Of course it was.
Of course.
But also, then you get to go lie down in Italy and eat loads of pasta.
Okay.
That sounds so good, actually.
Doesn't it?
I take that trade.
Can we come?
Yeah.
Yes!
Okay, I'm in.
No, I'd love to.
We have actually been invited.
I've heard the Vatican are selling
a new range of magnets.
How have you heard this?
I'm a magnet collector.
So you must, yeah, yeah.
Keep up, Laura.
Come on.
It's the new Pope, and he's like,
eh.
And they've got all these, like, quotes in Italian.
He's not that new a pope.
Which are, like, proper, like, basic bitch quotes,
which they've like translated
Are you being serious?
Like the world's your oyster
And it's like him like
Really?
The Vatican that's from the Vatican
Yeah
They're official
Well their merch has to be constantly coming out
They need good merch
That is good merch
That is good merch
The selling options at the Vatican
Like you want to have good totes
Good beanies
Like good magnets
Bookmarking
Like you might as well
No you're dead right
You should really get on that
Oh my God
Anyone's going to the Vatican
Please do
Do buy me a fridge magnet
with the Pope on it
and send it in trusting
house.
No one is listening to this and also
going to the Vatican.
Maybe you're in the Vatican right now
and listening to us.
You're not in the Vatican
listening to us.
If you are in the Vatican right now
and listening to us.
Oh my God.
This part...
Something in Italian.
Yeah.
This part is an option
on the guided audio to me.
Could you imagine?
You should do.
You'd be like,
this is a painting.
Okay, next.
Yeah.
This is a painting of Jesus.
He's a baby here.
I'll be like,
what's the checkpoint?
You're like,
wrong city.
I can't believe I didn't know that that's what it was called.
Don't beat yourself up about this.
I've been thinking about it since.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so, um...
Oh, dear.
Hey, Andrew, do you have a, um...
Do you have a problem for us?
I do.
Okay, before you tell us...
Is it about Jesus?
No.
Wait, before you do it, Laura, what kind of advice giver are you, would you say?
the same person.
I was just asking.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like, but I always, I'm always prefacing with like, listen, this is my advice.
So like, don't, you know.
Oh, no, you mustn't just tell them this is your only option.
Exactly.
Because then if they do it and things go awry.
Yeah, you don't want to be held responsible.
But I will, I believe in my self.
Oh my God.
I really believe that you did in July as well.
That was the worst part.
I was like, that was said like a woman who used to.
And then she went.
to JFL the fringe
Soho Theater
and it's like
I feel like Lord doesn't want to be touched
but so we are similar
but I was like
I believe
is
yeah okay go on
please okay I'm already
between the three of us we have
one woman's self-confidence
fabulous.
Yes I can do anything
as long as I put my mind to it
Hi Hogs
this is from C
Hi C
I love you all so much
I think you're amazing
and as you're such great problem solvers
I was hoping you could help
I female was in a relationship for five years
moved across from Canada to the UK
for this woman
only to find out she was having an affair
as we bought a house here and got a dog
I'm a bit stuck
bought a house here
she has moved out of the house
that was M saying the first thing she's
Ever said on the podcast?
Have you just heard Em in the background going, fuck?
M's first contribution to the pod of verbally.
Fuck.
Fuck.
This is not okay.
Whoa.
Sorry, no, come on.
We must let the problem.
Let's hear it out.
So she's moved out of the house and is now living with the affair woman.
My problem is I don't have many friends here as I work from home.
And as we have so many house repairs to do on the house before we can sell it,
it would make sense for us to be friends and get the work done in the.
the house and maybe hang out.
My question is, do you think you can be friends with someone who betrayed you?
She thinks we can and that we are adults to move past things.
However, it took me about six months of just crying every day to even talk to her.
I still love her, even though I know I can't be with her, and she has no guilt over what
she did.
She walks around like nothing happened.
I feel like we maybe can be friends, but I don't know.
I need your thoughts.
The worst part is her friends and family don't know about the affair.
They just think we broke up.
Anyway, I will bring you across to Toronto with me when I move back.
But there you go.
From C, quite a lot to unpack there.
Okay.
We all lent it.
We all landed.
Do you not think you need to talk to her to sort of like Canadian to Canadian?
Just like have a moment.
Can you tell her that it's still there and it's nice and it's waiting for her?
Girl.
The six is there for you.
The six, Toronto, is there.
right the six the six is Toronto it's like another word for Toronto the 416 which is the area
code it's that's kind of cool actually that was it was so cool it was even cooler before Laura
had to explain it but yes it was so cool the six is every what okay um I am the thing that got me
the most there's no guilt from this partner about having done this is is such a bad okay okay
I feel like if this was, okay, work it out, work it out.
Here, here it is.
You've got a house to take care of that you say you have to do repairs on before you can sell it.
My advice would be to go into like stealth mode and I know it's so hard to separate your emotions from the situation.
But you, this.
Oh, like mentally lock yourself down like a psychopath.
Mentally lock yourself down, write a list of all this stuff that needs to get done.
on the house
take control
go be like
this needs to get done
this needs to get done
this needs to get done
if you can manage it
maybe stay
with someone else
I feel like it is not
conducive to be
in this house together
as friends
I mean obviously
she thinks
she could be friends
she's gone to live
with the woman
she cheated on her with
yeah
oh okay
she's left her in the house
fun of the
she's alone
in the house
she's left her
with all the
responsibility
I'll get to that
go on
okay so
I mean I hate to say
this
that you're already like on your own and I'm sorry to say that but like make a list of all
this shit that needs to get done try your hardest to get it done quickly so that you can sell
the house and just move home um not to say run away from this but like right girl run this
this sounds horrible I'm so sorry that you're in the situation honestly honestly you need to
just tell this fucking ex-partner of yours the amount of pain the six months of crying this
is so painful. You moved, you left everything you knew and you moved across the world for
someone. And when you arrived, they were cheating on you. You've been, this is wrong. Oh, fuck. I would,
I would lose it. I'd be like, you're paying for me to go on holiday. I'm going on holiday. I'm
working from there and you are going to do up the house and then we're going to sell it. And at the
end of this, I'm not going to be your friend. And if anything, I'm going to send you bad vibes.
And this is not going to mean anything to anyone here. But when you go back to Toronto, we're
grabbing a drink at
Ozington and Dundas
and that's on that.
Okay. And now what is that?
That is...
It's an area code.
It's just an area code.
It's another word for Toronto,
Ozington and Dundas.
It's streets and they've got
a bunch of cute cocktail bars
and cafes and like just a cute
place to go to hang.
Okay, here's the situation.
As I see it,
what you have listed is all of the ways
in which you are taking responsibility
and she's taking none.
So let's be clear.
She cheated on you.
That is in of itself horrific
and I'm so sorry.
was there.
But what you're saying is
at no point
does she have to face
the consequences of that action
around any of your mutual friends
or her family.
So of course she doesn't feel guilty
because she's allowed to continue living
as if it didn't happen.
She's left the house.
So fundamentally
she has left you with the responsibility
of the house
because she's living a very happy life
where it seems like she has somewhere to be
until the house is gone,
whereas you don't.
And also ultimately the person who's there
is going to be left with the responsibilities
of letting the workers in
letting workmen come through
making the appointments
it's fucked
so no
you shouldn't be friends with somebody
because here's the thing
about being friends with somebody
your friends should be kind
to you she's not
they should respect you
she doesn't
and they should be fair to you
and she isn't
so fuck that
she's not your friend
what would be convenient for her
just like her moving out of the house
you sorting the house
and her family and friends not knowing
is if you were her friend
because it would alleviate
probably the last niggle of guilt
Fuck that. No. You're fine. Make the list, absolutely. Get the shit done. The bare minimum you need to get done to get it sold and get the hell out of there. Also, it doesn't have to be perfect to be sold. That's probably, I'm sure you know the parameters in which it needs to be improved for it to be like sufficient gain back on whatever you invest in the house. I'm sure you're a sensible person. But it does not need to be perfect. And well, no, house prices are down but interest rates are up so mortgages are harder to achieve. It depends. Sometimes it depends on where they are and what their house.
is like, I don't know.
I'll buy it.
Also, there are
frameworks in which you can sell
a house whilst not living in this country.
So I don't think you should need to feel, if that is
her, if those are your feelings that you have
to be there till it's sold, that's fine. But make sure you're not,
it seems like you're living by her
set of rules in every regard.
So is that actually true?
And is it true for you?
Is what I would ask?
And in relation to friends,
you have every right to tell her family and friends.
every right, they are, if they're in your life, because you don't have to pretend for her
anymore. I think also you're going through the grief of a relationship ending and you've got
none of your friends are here and their friends you do have a mutual and they think that you've
just guys are just broken up so you don't have anyone to share this massive grief with
you've been cheated on. Exactly. And you are allowed to talk about that with people because
otherwise you hold it all in and that's harder. It's horrendous that she's asking you to lie for her
having lied to this whole time. Yeah. And the last thing I'd say is I do think, I do think,
goddess temple. No, I do think you need friends. And I think for however long you're here,
it's okay to try to make them. Whether that's like asking if you can go into the office one day a week,
whether that's going to like your local pub quiz and seeing if anybody like, whatever. Like I don't like join a
club, whatever, but like you need something one day a week that's just for you because it seems like
understandably that level of deception and that level of shame that you must feel because I would
feel so ashamed that I didn't know that I'm putting up with it that I'm in this country that I've left
my family, even though that's all unfair, you need to rebuild your self-esteem because it will
be on the floor because she's ruined it. And do not be this woman's fucking friend.
Wow, that was really great advice. Sorry, I really went into a pit of like, I'm so angry on your behalf there.
I saw where you went and I was there to support it. I, how dare she? No, no, no, no.
Do you not think maybe like a trip to the south of France to do the Mary Magdalene?
cave might be a nice thing to do
because Mary Magdalene was also
wronged and
a lot of women congregate there
to think about how they've been wrong
Is this just a trip you and your mom went on?
No, my mum went on it by herself
well she went on with a witch that she met
I can't
May I say Helen C has enough problems
and at the end of it
it's just a cave with a statue of Mary Magdalene
and just like divorced women
and I think C would love it
Give this woman back a bunch of responsibility also, by the way.
If you do make a list of tasks, stuff that's in her control that she can be doing,
here you go, off you go.
I'm not your fucking maid.
Yeah.
And you don't bear the responsibility of keeping this news from your mutual friends
because you think they might think differently of her or of you or whatever.
But you didn't do that.
She did that by cheating on you, not by you telling them that she cheated on you.
Oh my God, yes.
If she doesn't want them to know that she cheated on you, then she shouldn't have cheated on you.
Exactly.
Not that you should keep it to yourself.
Absolutely.
Oh, my God, enraging.
Oh, also, the idea that she's like, we can be friends,
which obviously just implies that she didn't love you the way you loved her.
And then you said that you're still in love with her.
You're not to feel bad about that.
It is way more normal to marry someone and buy a house with them
because you love them and still be in love with them
six months after that breaks up than it is to marry someone,
get a house with them and be cheating on them.
That's the psychopathic behaviour.
It's not of normal to be in love with somebody
that you declared an interest in spending your life with.
I kind of need you to be here, right?
Yikes.
I feel like you need a talking to you, like, face to face.
Like, you need love and warmth,
but also someone to be like,
this is fucking bullshit.
You have to treat yourself like you would treat your actual friend in this scenario.
Like, what would you do if your friend had this situation?
And some days it would be, right, we're getting in the shower.
It might be the only thing we achieved today,
but we're getting in the shower and we're eating vegetables.
And I'm sure it sounds like you're,
you've pulled yourself through that if it's six months of crying so fair fuck yeah but now like fuck that
which camera is the one that's is that one yes see see listen this yeah listen to this um uh you
i'll just say one thing is i think you have more control than you think you have in this situation
like you have the control to get yourself out of this you do you maybe don't think you do but you
absolutely do and just take it one step at a time go down that list and get shit done
and you will do it.
I think that's so true.
I still think I'd go to the Mary Magdalene Cave.
I know this list thing is important,
but like different personalities.
But like I'd say Cave, too.
Hello?
Maybe you could write a list on the walk.
Maybe you could write the list on the walk.
Thank you, Andrew.
I don't like having two Catherine's here.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Wow, my heart goes out to you.
But also just like, and also the last thing I'll say is like,
that other woman who thinks that she's won some prize,
Poor her.
Oh yeah.
The one that's not living with this one.
She thinks she won something so shiny.
And at some point,
like anyone who could do that to you will,
if not do that,
doesn't understand the dynamics of relationships
and what they respect
or like what they require in terms of respect
or like maturity.
So fucking all that's going to be like that.
There's just so much of this problem.
But the main takeaway is she's not your friend.
And we have more control than you think you do.
I think that's such a good point.
And the six is waiting for you.
The six.
And the six and Dundas.
Garfield, was it?
Yeah, Garfield.
Dunders and Garpe was actually?
No, it was a cocktail bar.
No, it's not.
It's a street, is it?
I've lost.
The six.
Go get some friends who are kind to you, respect you and fair to you.
Oh, Canada.
New friends are still better than that shit.
Let's have some meeple syrup.
Yes.
Yucatan province.
Is that a place?
No.
That all that's Mexico, isn't it?
Yeah, I think so.
No, wait, wait, wait,
UConn, UCon, because of the Yukon of the Yukon.
Did you see that cartoon when you're growing up?
No, I didn't.
Yvonne of the Yukon.
I didn't.
And he just wore pants.
Okay.
Hey, Laura, if you want to find you online, where can they find you?
You can find me on Instagram on TikTok at L-A-U-U-U-R-A-M-O-S-O.
It's my favorite Instagram channel.
There's such funny videos.
You're going to have the best.
I'm actually jealous of people who are going to discover you now
because, oh, God, they'll have the whole.
When you get sad, watch more videos online.
That's a healthy tip.
And where can people, so Instagram, they can find you on TikTok.
What about if they want to see you do live shows?
Well, in my Instagram bio, I have a link of all my live shows.
Amazing.
And Francis, the live show that you're currently doing is so amazing.
I saw at Edinburgh.
It's so funny.
And if you can get a ticket, lucky fucking you.
Yeah.
And now, the last thing to say is, if you see Laura in an Italian restaurant
eating pasta or ice cream
leave her alone
leave her alone
she needs a break
okay
it's not time to talk
it's not time to ask her how she is
she's fine
she just needs a minute
thank you
no she's good
she's fine thank you
no she does appreciate it
but she's having a little minute
I will say though
if you do need to interrupt her
because you've got a magnet
of the Pope
I think that's allowed
that's allowed
That's a lot.
If it's to give a Maggie, then we'll be chill about it.
Yeah, I'll share it over to, yes.
I'm glad.
I'm really glad we checked in with that.
Do you know, I mean, the problem is you have to go home to your husband after all of this.
I hope that he's not been cheating on you.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Where did that come from?
I'm C, actually.
No.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
But I said if you were seeing, then you were saying to yourself, don't worry.
You have more control than you.
Thank you, dude.
We're friends.
Oh, no, no.
No, no.
Yeah, I'm going home to him.
Yeah.
Good for you.
Your smart.
Having you on this side of the pond.
I will too.
It's been really nice.
It has been great.
