Oh, I was bashing into them. Helen! It was such a, like, there was like, I sort of got there and I was like, oh, it's just going
Starting point is 00:05:32 to be like webling about and then immediately like walked in and all the adults are talking and I'm like, I don't want to introduce myself to anyone because I've got no social battery for adults at the moment. But you do have for kids. And I walked in with Francis because it's like me and Francis' mutual friend. Yeah, yeah. And Francis sort of like went and did like the talks of the adults and I was like, here's your birthday gift!

Immediately was like this pop-up tense. tunnels which did not fit me I did try um got stuck around my hips very hum it was okay I went back it was fine um and oh god like a big connect four that was made out of foam and they had um a projector playing like different songs from Disney with the videos on this is amazing this is your dream scenario yeah and there was like little balls of crisps how do we organize your party there what's a call it was a pub it was like at the corner of a pub and there were little bowls of
Starting point is 00:06:20 crisps and little um little fairy cakes what This is an amazing. My friend broke like the corner of like a bar for like the daytime right. It's like it was like I'm done at 4.30 and it was just like this is I live here now. So sorry for yawning.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'm so sorry for yawning. You're very sleepy aren't you? I'm really sorry. Did you not sleep last night? I haven't been sleeping well the last few weeks. What's been going on? Well. Moving.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah and just like a lot of like I've had to make some big personal decisions. You have actually. It's all very tedious and boring. But I'm just exhausted and shattered a night. You know when you're worried. about something so much that you don't really sleep that even once you've done it you're like
Starting point is 00:06:59 oh god I'm now I'm like gonna be catching up but Christmas is soon and I'm fine my point is I had the biggest edible the other day I never do that but my friend I was like sorry what I'm awake now I was not expecting that same word I had such a good sleep what and like she gave it to me
Starting point is 00:07:15 sorry what do you mean is this a situation where somebody gave you a brownie you waited and then they went shit there's drugs in that and you went no no no my friend was like talking about like edibles and I was like do you have loads It's like, do you have edibles? And she was like, yeah, and I was like, I would genuine, I'd love to try it. Like, I've smoked weed before, but I never, like, enjoyed it or, like, found, like, what worked for me.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But, like, I love the idea of, like, having a buzz and falling asleep. So she was like, okay, well, I'll bring something for you. So the next day I saw her, and she brought me, like, um, weed-infused fudge, like chocolate fudge, but it tasted like, it tastes like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it was like, have half of it, and you have to wait an hour and a half because it will kick in. And I was like totally understand. So I had like, all of it. I was like traveling back from Newcastle. You had all of it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 And I went to like got home and I had half of it. And I waited an hour and half. And I was like, I literally feel nothing. And I was like, nothing. And I was like, nothing. And she was like, anything. And I was like, literally nothing. She's like, I don't have a bit more.
Starting point is 00:08:09 And I was like, I'm just going to have the whole thing. Because like, I'm literally feeling nothing. I had the whole thing. Eventually, Snale comes home. And he's like, are you high? And I was like, no. Like, I'm literally, he's like, you seem a bit drunk. And I was like, well, maybe.
Starting point is 00:08:20 but maybe I'm just like sleepy I honestly and she was like get the snacks in you're going to eat food the best you've ever eaten it and I was like there with my food all around me like here we fucking go and nothing but then when I went to bed I did not turn I just slept for like nine hours straight to the point where I slept on one side for nine hours that I woke up with an earache yeah I know that feeling like you like you said and you're like oh ow ow because it's like it's like it's just been like blo locked for like it was insane and I just woke up and I was like oh my god I'm healed I can't tell but didn't get high I can't tell if you got like a tranquilizer amount it just took too long to kick in or if it had no effect but you were so like in the zone of going to be relaxed that you just knocked yourself out I don't know whether it works if like I'm I'll say like overthinking a bit but I was like maybe because I've had like a full dinner I was like maybe I should have it on like a slightly empty stomach because like there was so much food in my belly like I had dinner and then I had it. You diluted the fudge too much. I think I might dilute the fudge. I think I should
Starting point is 00:09:25 just do it first thing in the morning but I've eaten it all now. Yeah I guess what? Did you just burb? Yeah. Oh my God. You just see me try and swallow it though like I went it went up and I hate you. This is how you end up with sausage in your nose. This is how it happened. You know I walked past that foils earlier. I keep walking by it and being like oh Jesus Christ. But maybe... You've done that to a lot of places for me. I'll try and get more edibles. Yeah, listen, I...
Starting point is 00:09:53 It sounds like you could just have some fudge and go to bed. I really want to get loads of... Because you know, I still haven't tried mushrooms. I remember ages ago. Like, we had Jack Barry on. You talked about mushrooms and you still haven't done them. I didn't do them. You talked so too big mushroom game.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I got rid of them. I thought they'd gone out of day, like, after a year. I just never did them. I just never got to the point where I was, like, comfortable in the evening and also had the day off the next day. Just in case it was like a crazy hallucinogenic. But I'm really tempted to, like, get loads in this Christmas. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:10:24 For family times? Well, this is the thing. This is the first family Christmas that I will be at and my sister won't, right? Is your sister staying in Cornwall? She has to work in Cornwall, right? Wait, she's blowing off Christmas. Mm-hmm. By choice.
Starting point is 00:10:38 She has to work. Like, this is, like, part of this new job. So, but she, I love her, but she takes up all the space. right in the family like it's it's like she's just like the center of and anyone with like neurodivitis the family knows it like sometimes one person just sort of like fulfills everything so like part of me is like oh is it going to be a bit quiet maybe a bit awkward at my I can't I really like it's just it's a guessing game yeah um and then I'm like maybe maybe I should this is my chance because it's like a break with your mom to just well my mom's done her husband her husband she was little yeah but
Starting point is 00:11:16 My point is like, do you, little feels like the wrong word there. Do you mean younger? Younger. Okay, great. My point is like, do you want to be doing them around your family? Or do you not want to them when you have time alone? Well, this is the thing. This Christmas, like, it's very, like, and once again, for people that do sometimes, like,
Starting point is 00:11:33 I do love my family. They're great. It's just everyone struggles with their family in different ways. Yeah, and Christmas is like a tricky time. And this year, I'm going into it very, did we ever talk about what happened when we last Christmas? We personally talked about it. I can't remember if we talked about it on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I ended up spending it alone in case. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So it was like a Christmas Eve meltdown and then alone. But it's very boundary this year. Like I'm staying in a hotel. Like my family or some of my family are also staying in the hotel. But I've got my own room.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Oh, do you? Yes. I've already done that discussion. I'm like, look, I know it makes more sense to save money that we all share rooms. But like I'm, like I said like I will, I, I, this is not a judgment on you. I just know that I need this. And you paid for your own room. own room actually my mum paid for it in the end
Starting point is 00:12:18 that's so nice yeah I didn't ask her to it's very sweet but I was like this is something I need and she was like and then she sent me a lovely message being like and this is something that I need to work on like I'm very like scrupulous with my money and like very aware of it but I'm also aware that everyone we need her in space I'm like 100% so nice so I'm my brother sharing with her
Starting point is 00:12:35 good luck Ted good luck Ted and that's for him okay fucking 34 with his mummy Oh, he's such a good, he's a really good man. Wait, he's going to be chopping and tailing with your mom and you're going to be doing shrooms in the next room. If you're going to do mushrooms in a hotel. You know I bow-a-kade now.
Starting point is 00:12:55 You know I bow-a-kade. I didn't know that you bow-er-kade. I bow-a-kade, which is when I put, well, my friends call it bow-a-kading, which is when I arrive at a new hotel and I lock myself in with a suitcase in front of it so I can't easily get out. But if you want, what we could do is ensure you could message me on the evenings,
Starting point is 00:13:12 because I mean we'll talk we'll talk with way through Christmas anyway because it's Christmas But you could plop some wire into your hair
Starting point is 00:13:18 and then use that to pick the lock What? What hotels have locks? Okay All cards aren't we? All right, fine Okay, fine
Starting point is 00:13:27 I'm just spitbulling You could put a card under your tit You're making me so paranoid It's gonna happen again You could put a card between your butt cheeks You could put a card
Starting point is 00:13:37 Between your toes Speaking of that hotel episode Andrew's shared so like obviously since we last recorded these Spotify raps like come out and stuff and we were sort of like talking in our group chat being like oh my god it's so cool like we're in people's like top tens and blah blah and then Andrew obviously has the statistics of like what we've got on Spotify as far as like list and shit and it was like most shared episode the stairwells and shame what is it called?
Starting point is 00:14:02 On WhatsApp. Sleepwalking and shame is the most shared on WhatsApp by like a significant percentage of it. Because everybody's like listen to this. Listen to this horrible. woman's life and trust that everything's going to be okay. And I swear we've done some really good like interesting conversations around like mental health. We've had superstars. We got superstars on. But that's the most shared one. That's the one. Wow. Poor Helen. That's tragic. But also thanks, Helen. Thanks. I reckon thanks. Um, shall we do we have our guest on? I know we've got a guess
Starting point is 00:14:33 but I know you had a wax, but should we do that on the extras? Oh my God. In the extras, I'm going to tell you about the best wax I've ever had my fucking life. Oh my God. for now. Please welcome to the podcast. Gabby Brian! Hello, thank you so much for donating to our Patreon if you have done. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Thank you. We kind of thought we should jump on and explain to you what we're doing with your money because while we love that you're giving it freely and blindly, shall we say. We just wanted to say that it really does help make this podcast. So we spend it on renting this office so that we can make the podcast, which we could not do, as you know, because we were kicked out of our last list because they closed for a week. So they said, then they reopened. So were they just trying to get rid of us? Who's to say? But thank you so much for helping us be here. We also spend it on all of the equipment. We used it to buy our microphones, our cameras, our audio equipment and our whatever tech stuff Andrew does. And we use a mixing desk and he's got that sound mixer too. Is that sound mixer? It is, yeah, yeah. We use it genuinely to buy coffee. for our guests sometimes to buy them
Starting point is 00:15:42 lunch if they've come a long way and me lunch sometimes yes and I think that's reasonable remember when we all went for bagels and then also in order to make this podcast we have to book us we have to record the episode which usually takes about
Starting point is 00:15:56 two hours and then Eminem and Andrew have to edit out all the things that we say and lots of burping I wonder who from and and then we but then we have the guest on then we have our usually record we probably take about seven hours to make two episodes in the office. Yeah, around that.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And then, after the record, M and Andrew have to edit it. And Em and Andrew probably spend two, three, four, how long, how many hours is? It takes about 30 minutes probably, doesn't it? If you really knuckle down. How long does it take to edit it, Andrew? It depends on how many things you need cut. That's you.
Starting point is 00:16:30 For example. That's you. Actually, the worst one ever was Helen. Yes. So how long would you say the average edit takes? At least another couple of hours, yeah. At least another couple of hours. So another, probably, each episode probably takes between booking, recording, editing, posting, probably takes close to seven to ten hours. And so that's what we use your money for. And we really appreciate it and we really appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:16:57 And it's nice that we have a team of friends. It's phenomenal. And we all get to earn some money. But I, yeah, obviously, yeah, we make some money off the podcast. Sorry, that feels like it's obvious, but thank you. And we pay Andrew and M accordingly. And I can't stress enough. we couldn't do it without you, so thank you.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But what it means is that we can continue doing it because it's not taking, like, it's something that when other jobs come in, we go like, yeah, but we've got this job as well. Instead of it's something that doesn't take, it means that it's important to us and allows us to do things like, yes, I'm finishing my tour now,
Starting point is 00:17:26 but then Catherine will go on tour, but there will always be one of us to be able to be flexible around the other one schedule. And also, I think we're probably, for a good few episodes, it costs us money to make. So it's such a thrill to be able to say that this is our job and we love making it
Starting point is 00:17:38 and we're just so grateful to you. So listen, if you support us already, this is just a way of saying, here's what we're doing for your money. Thank you so much. We wanted to be transparent. And if you haven't yet joined to the Patreon, then, well, well, the hell not. Don't you want us to make more episodes? Longer episodes?
Starting point is 00:17:53 More episodes? I think it's the best Christmas gift one can give to themselves. To give us money on Patreon? I agree. But you're giving to you, but you're also giving to us. And by us, she means her. And it's the season of giving. To us.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Oh, come, oh ye faith. Oh, I thought you're going to say, come all ye patrons. Oh, shit. Oh, come all ye patrons. Joyful and triumphant. Not join us and donate. Oh, come ye. And donate to us.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Hugs. Listen, we should have worked up to before, sure. We don't spend our money on singing. Love is all around me. And so the feeling grows. And so the feed. Podcast feed grows or so the podcast feed grows
Starting point is 00:18:40 or so the podcast. Thank you so much for your support. Thank you so much for your support. Thank you so much. Have a great Christmas. We're coming on the road hugs. We're coming Leicester. We're coming.

I will not talk for the rest of the podcast. Just have said that. Oh my God, do not take instructions so well. She'll will be a bully about it.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Hi, welcome. Thanks for having you. You're American. I'm American. I'm American, the United States. But you look American. If I had to pick you in a lot, if I was in an airport, I'd like that lady's American.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I get that a lot, and I can't tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It is. You know what it is? you have an actually smiley face which very unusual for may I say women who are so beautiful because you don't have to be cheery right you could just be hot
Starting point is 00:20:17 but you're cheery and hot and that is an American habit and you've got hot hair you've done the... It's fake. Is it? Fake hair. How much we're talking? There's a lot of fake hair in my head. No, there's... Clipin! Get in there. It's all fake! They're good though. They're good though.
Starting point is 00:20:32 So my... Those ones are good because I'm not seeing a big black clip or any sort of... No, it's little hidden. That's very good. Well, you see, I have a twin brother and his girlfriend is a hairdresser, so she has to put fake hair in my hair, my head for free.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Oh my God, six. So even if you didn't need it, you should get it because she has to. I'm going to take advantage of my situation. I genuinely thought you were going to say... I can't believe you lied to me, and it's so gorgeous. What?
Starting point is 00:20:54 Well, that's not a lie. She admitted it straight away. I know, but I feel just way more comfortable with you now. No, it's all a lie. Listen, I have filler. Let's get into it. Oh, my God. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Somebody else is here. I love this for you. Don't even worry. The judgment I get when I say that I get Botox on this podcast is intense. You do get some judgment. I get a lot of judgment. A lot of judgment. And I'm like, well, you try be on television and 35.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Exactly right. Here's the thing. I'm from New Jersey. I don't know if you're familiar with the lore of New Jersey. Yes, I've watched all the shows. You get it. So we are slowly. They go there for a dance competition and dance moms.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Very competitive in Jersey. We're serious. So we're slowly like freezing our body parts one at a time. So I'm going to be so, I'm not even going to look human in a couple years. Oh my God. I want to be... Are you making the most of looking human while you have it? Like, are you doing anything while you have the time?
Starting point is 00:21:42 Or are you going to just, like, before you become full frozen? Yeah, no. No, good for you. No, I'm just really running towards that goal. Excellent. Like a leisure. Running is quite nice so that you look like you're caught in the wind when you get there. Yeah, you look like it's constantly...
Starting point is 00:21:55 Like a photo shoot? That's my goal. That's amazing. Yeah. Well, it's good to have goals. And I... This is so exciting. Just an American, like, from New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:22:06 which is a good accident. Oh my God, there it is. Oh my God, do you know about the New Jersey Hill people? No. Oh, wait, we have hills? Oh, by the way, it's so funny that you were like, do you know about the lore of New Jersey and Helen was like, do you know the following things about New Jersey?
Starting point is 00:22:19 The first one you don't know. They live in swamps and they're off grid. Where? I don't know. Where did you read this? I heard it on a Chris Gethethad podcast about seven years ago, and I do not remember the facts. Well, he, okay, so there's this publication in New Jersey called the Weird End Jets.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Yes. And we all grew up, sorry, we all grew up reading this thing and Chris Getherd is obsessed with it. So it's like all of the creepy. Wait, I'm sorry, is it online or is it like? It was a magazine. If you could even remember what magazines were. Whoa, whatever you're doing to your face is really working because you don't look old enough to have even known what like print media is. I know. I have a TikTok face and it costs a lot of money. You really do. Wow. Well, keep spending it. It's worth every penny. I use lip balm. That's awesome. That's awesome. You know, I've also got a routine. That's awesome. Because they get all cracked and then I roll a cigarette and I put it on that I take it off. and the paper gets stuck to my loose skin. That's kind of chic though.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Thank you. I think that's cool. Yeah, everyone fancies me. I'm like, I'll have a cigarette with a bit of my lip on it and it'll be bleeding and then a guy will be like, I'll be like, leave it. Leave it. Leave it. I'm having a cigarette. Call me layer.

Starting point is 00:23:52 oh my this is good because I'm doing all of the UK podcast and I'm getting that like slutty slaggy phrases from everyone and I'm just collecting oh those aren't slugsy or slaggy that gives it a compliment this is like a muntaminger thing What the hell did you just say? So just sort of like, a manta minga. Like dictionary definition. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:10 In Oxford English. Andrew would look it up for us. I personally think of it as like a woman, bless her, who's just like. A man can be a munger. A guy can be munted, but he can't be a muntor. Okay. You guys sound like trolls. Welcome to our podcast.
Starting point is 00:24:30 I think of a minga as a woman with like, she's all. always moist, but not where you'd expect it to be. Okay. Listen, they are unattractive people, but they're also, and it's important, I think they, it's a, there's a relevant factor of, I'm a minna. I'm a minna. I'm like, there's also a list, there's something grim about it. It's not just like, oh, you're, you haven't been blessed with beautiful features.
Starting point is 00:24:49 It's like, you smell like a food that I can't place. Well, it's like, you know how all garbage, once it gets hot, smells the same. No matter what garbage it is. There you go. I think that's the beauty of this planet Earth. There you go. Is that no matter where you are and how slutty you are, we all. We all smell the same.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Everyone hold hands. That's so beautiful. I'm happy to be here. No one has ever alphaed this podcast before. I've never thought he's in town. You have head girl energy. This is very excited. But you're not a minger and I want you to know that.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Catherine's also not a ming. She knows she's not. I don't even know. I still can't grasp what it is. You're a babe. It's like what's the American for minger or munter? Well, Jersey Shore we'd call it. Do you say trollop?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Trollope. The field of Shakespeareans He went old English He was so wild It was like what's the American Trollope In New Jersey we'd called a grenade A grenade

Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah Why do we need sexism If we're gonna do it for ourselves What are you talking about It's still sometimes a little fun I used to be called A swamp donkey by Australians I worked with
Starting point is 00:26:02 A bush pig Yeah, a swamp donkey. I didn't even know donkeys frequent in the swamps. This one does. Well, I guess doesn't Shrek live in a swamp and he has a donkey friend? So true. Oh my God, you are so sad. Maybe you do some research because that's like, yeah, because if you're going to come on the pod, it just feels like, oh.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Actually, watch all the Shreks before you go to the pot. Yeah, okay. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Sorry, weird New Jersey. I don't even know where I left us. Come on, you do. Come on.
Starting point is 00:26:31 We're in New Jersey Magazine. Chris Getherd. Chris Getherd, I'm slurring. No, but I did him hammered. Chris, yes, it was all about like the ghosts and goblins and demon lore of New Jersey. It's like the New Jersey devil. You'd get into that. You'd know where all the haunted houses were.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Was it joking? No, it was dead serious. Oh, gosh. Okay. And there was an article about my street that I grew up on. Yes, because I grew up in a deeply haunted house. I love how we all refer to the house to the road that we grew up on as my street. My street. Because our parents owned a property.
Starting point is 00:27:03 on the street. But it was mine above all. Yes, of course. But I lived in a haunted house and during I know. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Yes, you did. Catherine, you weren't there. I was there, Catherine. I remember. Okay, my bad.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Just so, we had like a stream in the backyard and it was the hospital grounds of the Battle of Mammoth. Don't know which war that is. We'll not look it up. Civil. Civil. Civil. Civil. And there was nothing civil about it. Andrew, please look it up. It was civil. Battle of Mammoth, please, Andrew. He's had seven things to Google already.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah, let me just close the tab about the dictionary definition of Manta. Yeah, of course. It was revolution. I was going to say the revolutionary, actually. Were you? That was my second choice. You were going to say the revolution.
Starting point is 00:27:45 They came one off to the other. They came one off the other. Quick, quick, we like battles. We like war. I love war. But that same. Shout out to all war. Oh, it's a historical.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Historical not present. What is wrong with the person right now? Oh my God. Historical. Shoutouts to war. No, don't fight seriously, stop. You just shouted out to war. You don't like fighting. You're like big scale or nothing.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I like men wearing matching outfits. I like the looks as well. You guys should watch sports instead. Let me say that to you. Oh, speaking of sports, putting a pin in seven things we've been talking about. And just quickly a brand new topic. What's your favorite sport? I don't have one, but I do want to have sex with a footballer.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Can you guys make that happen for me? Do you mean an English football or an American footballer? English. We don't have those. Could we make that happen for you? I can take you this Sunday. Could we make that happen for you? No one has ever been more divorced from, wait a second,
Starting point is 00:28:37 do you mean a male footballer? Well, I don't care. And you're easy with the premieres like that being in the premiere show. Okay. Oldershotown FC! Oh, I'm going to a sports match tomorrow night. You can come with me.
Starting point is 00:28:48 What kind of show? It's rugby. Yeah, my friend France is playing. I'm canceling the show. Is it men or women? Mainly, it's just they's, she's, days gays. Oh my God, I didn't know days played rugby. That's so included.
Starting point is 00:29:02 They love rugby. They do in broccoli. Let me say. Well, rugby is just gay sex with shirts on. Agreed. So I understand how it could be gay. If you can come and sleep with one of them. Well, they better be hot.
Starting point is 00:29:14 This is all I care about. I don't care about gender. You have to be hot. That's kind of nice. That's like take progressive and make a cello. Yeah. I love it. It's like progressive, but make it Republican.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Yeah. That's sort of my vibe. It's Joe Rogan Sicko mode. Oh my God. God. I didn't get the last part of that. Joe Rogan's sycoma. Sicko mode.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Do you guys have sicko mode? Oh, right. Sicko like, it's just extreme. Yeah. Oh, sick. I've watched Fia Factor, so I get the reference.
Starting point is 00:29:46 That's sicko mode. That is literally Joe Rogan sicko mode. Good show. Yeah, good show. Well, wait. Wow, I haven't taken one in breath. I'm like, oh, and you can't and you won't and you mustn't because actually then people will leave.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Okay. But no, it's important to say that we don't know any professional footballers. That's so weird. I old shoptown, enough state they'd be gagging for it. But I know a lot of lesbian footballers and they're very hot and we can definitely introduce you to that.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Okay. And we and I must say this need to go back to your haunted house and I can't believe I'm the one advocating for that because I don't believe you lived in one. But it feels important that we finish a conversation. One single story. Do you know what I mean? I've been on here for three minutes to be clear and we're eight stories in. Catherine's
Starting point is 00:30:25 afraid of spirit. Do you not believe in ghosts? She's afraid of spirit. Or you're afraid of spirit? It's afraid of believing. Neither. I guess I just don't think that if there are ghosts. I don't believe in ghosts. There I said.
Starting point is 00:30:40 There are two finally. Spit it out. I don't believe in ghosts. Okay. Here's the thing. I personally have never seen a ghost. So I could just be, it's, you know, it's all tales. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It's all tales. And vibes. And vibes. Of course. Thank you for bringing up vibes in this girl podcast. So it was the Battle of Mammoth, the hospital grounds in our backyard. Revolutionary War. Revolutionary War. That's when we left you guys.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Is it called the revolutionary? Okay, fine. It's called Revolutionary War. I mean, does come and go, it feels like. You're right. You're so right. My apologies. Yeah. I'm the problem. Go on. How dare you? It's me. It's a revolutionary war. Okay. Thank you for being Haggabia. I'm actually really appreciated. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Um, yes. Okay. So deeply haunted area and there was a story in Weird NJ that there was a woman in all white as ghosts do.
Starting point is 00:31:25 It's like they never wear color. If you're gonna be modern, wear color, but it's always a white virginal gown. virginal gown. It's like grow up and she just haunts our road and walks back and forth and people will, it's just a main road and people will stop to like ask if she needs a ride home and then she'll disappear. See, first of all, I do not believe anyone in New Jersey is seeing a virgin creepy walk up and down the streets and is offering her a lift home. Well, no one in New Jersey is seeing a virgin. Well, so again I say, I'm not really finding this plausible. No, honestly, now that I'm retelling the story, I'm like, this is garbage. Yeah, come on.
Starting point is 00:32:02 No, stay with the... Don't lose it. No, I'm in it. And the virgin was me. No. So the people would like wind down their windows and be like, oh, are you okay, madam? Do you want a lift? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:13 And then she'd be like, oh, and... And disappear. Slay. Yeah. Which is pretty like a hot girl thing to do. Just like be whining down a road. I'm so lost and scared. I'm so mading Pixie Dream Ghost.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Very manic Pixie Dream Ghost. Manic Pixie Dream Ghost, episode title. Love it. Also, how was she linked to the war? I have no idea. Maybe she was just a nurse or something. Oh, so I really thought it would be relevant to the story, but you were like, I don't know, nurse?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Yeah, no, I didn't, I didn't draw the... Wanted women in the ward, nurse? I think they were only allowed to nurse. That sounds true. Yeah. Unless they pulled like a Moulon situation and they cut off their hair and put a helmet on. And Tangusong.
Starting point is 00:32:50 A helmet. Hey, boys. Classics back down. I guess I'm one of you now. I'm just a soldier named John. I honestly love that character. And I think it's the kind of queer I'm attracted to, the soldier called John.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Yes, please. Bring him to the studio. One American version of Boulat. Hey, I'm Jack. We're getting our, we're getting our dick, right. What a boy's a lad. Gabby, you're here for gigs, shows? I'm here for shows.

Starting point is 00:33:36 Yeah, I hope you guys had the best time at my show. Yeah. That you didn't know about until a week later. I'm doing a show called Slags versus Sluts. And it is... What is the distinction? Well, you guys are slags in the UK. You two specifically.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I'm Irish. I'm actually very Catholic. We said the same thing. You said frigid. I said Irish. So, yeah, okay. UK slag. and then U.S. is slut? Same thing.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Okay, great. Is it Americans versus? Do you have to fight? How does it win? They're going to fight to the death. Nice. I really like live at 21 so hot. No, it's just a competition of who could possibly be slottier, and there's like segments, and then people are doing sets, and it's a wild variety show. That sounds amazing. Yeah. Second question. Have you and Olga Koch ever been seen in the same room at the same time?
Starting point is 00:34:23 No. No, I went to see her show at Fringe, but we don't know each other. I don't I believe that you're split from the same out yeah I'm like who is you imagine hello that she doesn't I don't know where she's from she's from Russia she's from Russia it was totally off hello how do you do Russian and my third question because yes I am finishing some conversations from earlier that I still want answers on pins there's pins I'm sorry but you have to understand I'm borderline okay with it because it's a man but I so um adult twins may I say freak me out. I'm a twin.
Starting point is 00:34:59 I know. And especially if they're identical, that's a no for me. I don't believe in ghosts, but they give me the fucking spook. I get that. And I think if you're hanging out with your adult twin

Starting point is 00:35:53 But like I think New Jersey has some of the maddest accents. It's true. Well, Snooky's not a name, you know what I mean? Snooky is her name. It is her name. No, but it's not. Well, actually, it's not. Well, her name's Nicole.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah, come on. What? Come on, you know this. Oh, that's actually pissed me off. I get that. It's Snooky. No, it's Nicole and Jennifer. Come on.

Starting point is 00:40:24 Oh, my God. It's phenomenal. I think Gabby's out partying at the weekends, Catherine. Oh, right. I have a feeling that we're at home. You can watch it during the day. Yeah, but we're watching one Saturday, baby, girl. I like how you think I'm a party girl.

Oh my God. How many people have you said that too? So many. She said it on this podcast too many times. I'd say, so many times. Two weeks ago I said I look like Arwen. And then
Starting point is 00:41:16 today was the first time. And everyone was silent. I thought I'd like make that a thing. That's awesome. Good Lord. May I say that my point was Squid Games. The British men are like, let's just play fair. And an American man in his interview said the words I'm a competitor because Jesus was a competitor.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I love that. And I'm like what end game capitalist reading of the Bible are you doing, sir? Who was Jesus competing against by the way? He had to sacrifice himself for the sins of humanity. What do you mean? He lost, if that's what you mean. He gave up immediately, by the way.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Yeah, what are you talking about? He was a competitor. It was so weird. He was like, let me take care of the week and the sick. Who's like, it was wild. He was the son of God. I'm a compassionate because Jesus is a competitor. Yeah, because Jesus was a competitor.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Americans love to take whatever Jesus was and make him whatever we want him to be. It's wild. Yeah, really fascinating. But my point is, yeah, I guess you're not going to get that same pathetic quality for men who were like, Jesus was a competitor. No, Americans are so, especially American athletes, they're just perfectly dumb. Like Travis Kelsey, for example.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah. Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Taylor Swift's boyfriend. I don't know if you've ever looked into anything he's ever said. Oh, that sweet, sweet baby boy. Is he dumb? He could barely read. Oh, bless him.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I know. My friend, yeah. He doesn't have to read. He's so good at football. It's really sweet. my friend Rosebud is a writer for S&L and she always She has a friend called Rosebud Yes, obviously she's got a friend called Rosebaud
Starting point is 00:42:52 I've got a friend called Helder I've got a friend called Helder Surprise! I've got a Hellberg five births at home Okay Rosebud Rosebud Baker She's an amazing comedian Oh my God, yes, she is, she's awesome She writes for Esenal and she has a story about
Starting point is 00:43:05 how she was walking by Travis Kelsey's dressing room and he was practicing how to read Oh That's so cute Thank you. Travis. Reading is hard. I know for him.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Yeah. Too pure for my heart. I know. I actually think it would be so showy offy if NFL players who are like the greatest athletes of all time could also read. Yeah, it's ridiculous to think.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Yeah. I'd read them before going on. Yeah. I'd practice. Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't everyone else? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Am I done? Wait a minute. Oh my God. Am I thick? Oh, I love the phrase thick
Starting point is 00:43:45 Do you? Yeah, because that means like Bodacious in America But you guys are It means like curvy right It means like Like I'm thick Here it's like
Starting point is 00:43:55 Am I thick? Yeah Oh my god I love bodacious As they swap out for a thick Bodacious Yes and yes Helen So the question is this
Starting point is 00:44:05 I'm both versions I'm thick thick thick You're thick thick You're thick thick Gabby Bryant, what kind of advice giver are you? I give horrible advice. Really? No, actually, I take that back.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I actually cut that out. I'm just kidding. I think I should have been a therapist, and I actually give really good advice that offstage. On stage, I often give people advice that is just so wrong. I think I'm talking more like interpersonally. Okay. Yeah. You think you should have been a therapist?
Starting point is 00:44:45 I think I would have been a really good therapist. If I went into a route, I would have fucking lost. If I went into a room I want to talk about compulsory reading and you're sitting there. Yeah, you'd be mad. I would fucking lose it. Okay. Yeah. Oh, I'd rip every eyelash out of your fucking face.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I will say. And I wouldn't pay for the session. Oh my God. Genuinely, I was in a hospital, as you know, with mental illness over a decade ago. And there was a therapist, a psychologist who you did one-on-one therapy with. And it was about eating and also about perfectionism. And I walked into this woman's office. It was, honestly, like, immaculate.
Starting point is 00:45:20 The symmetry in this space was phenomenal. She was wearing a pencil skirt and heels. Well, that's offensive. She was so thin. She sat down and she was like, so why is it you think you focus so much on order and perfection? I was like, I need an out. I need a button. I need a button.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Is this a weird work? Like, what are you talking about? Honestly, I was like, happy. I was like, have you had a snack in the last eight years? Because if you haven't, you can't talk to me about food issues. Like, this is wild. She's like, I only eat hummus. Honestly, she was like, food is the thing I talk about at work.
Starting point is 00:45:51 It's not a thing I do. I drink water. I'm an adult. I was like, what are you talking about? So with the greatest of respect, we'd all be livid if you were a therapist. And your face would have been wasted in a therapy room. Put it on TV, baby. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:46:06 I'll take all of this as a compliment. But you think you're so good that you could be. be a therapist. I think I give good but and yet harsh advice. That's my favorite though. I do think the older I get the more I appreciate when someone goes look listen that's not like it's so helpful and it's like it's in the moment it can be a little bit like what but it's like no thank you for that especially about like a girl's boyfriend relationship I'm like he's an asshole breakup like I'm very unempathetic in that way. That's so funny I really do with you talking to one of my friends actually I think the harsh thought
Starting point is 00:46:41 and then I say exactly what it is I think the person wants me to say I'm like oh wow that's a horrible idea well listen you should get married that's what you want to do you have to honour yourself in general I do that but then a couple of times I think I've been very honest
Starting point is 00:46:59 yeah yeah I think I after the fact I'll be honest which is even more annoying as a friend to be like yeah I think this is correct but I think but on this I find it easier because they themselves are not staring at me right well yeah so we have listener problems oh great um have at it let's hear it under what makeup do you wear this is a um summer friday's uh lip butter can i put someone on yeah of course thank you did you say and look like you are you gabby's little sister now can i put some on and look like you can i wear your skin and

Starting point is 00:48:08 I'm going through that we're going through that oh fly oh my god one like two Rory Gilmoth Wait that's a perfect I have never felt like more of a Paris Roll the advice please
Starting point is 00:48:21 Well first of all Just going through the inbox Apologies to so many people who've not replied to But thank you for all your emails I have two options for you I was going to let you pick Either getting through
Starting point is 00:48:31 an emotional low point or a big life decision. Big life decision. Yeah. Great choice. Okay, so this is from... A personal eye point we'd just all like to say
Starting point is 00:48:39 Domino's Pizza. Yeah, a breadball. I think we just cleared about 30 emails from the inbox. Thank you. Flay. This is from E. Hi, E!
Starting point is 00:48:48 E says, I'm an 18 year old trans man and I'm hoping to start testosterone soon. Flea. I was listening to your episode with Sarah Pascoe, so this was a few episodes ago. Oh my gosh, E.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Sorry we're taking you so long to go back to you. That was basically last Christmas. Wow. It was exactly. No, Chris. Yeah, well, sorry. But here we are. And you're a 19-year-old trans man,
Starting point is 00:49:07 and we don't know whether or not you've done your testosterone, but we hope you did what you wanted. Oh, happy birthday. No, no, no, no, it wasn't his birthday. Listen, go on. Yes. But I am currently deciding whether or not to freeze my eggs. Because I do want children when I'm older,
Starting point is 00:49:23 but testosterone essentially makes you go through the menopause. To freeze my eggs, I'll have to take female hormones for a while and then get surgery, which I may have to pay for myself, and I don't know if I'm prepared to do. that. I've also been on an waiting list for four years and I don't want to have to wait any longer for testosterone. I've always wanted biological kids, but now I just don't know. Can you help with a bit of, you know, with this dilemma? I know it's a bit heavy, but you guys always make me laugh. And at the very least, I'm sure you'll make me feel better. Oh my God, what a sweet pumpkin pie. I feel insane
Starting point is 00:49:52 answering this as like a cis woman, but it is. It's insane for us to wait in. And also, let's be honest, we're a year late, so he's probably made his decision. You made your decision. But we could certainly retrospectively have opinions on something that's got really know we know right to. It's like thinking the same things and like trying to figure out what they want to do with eggs and then we can be helpful. I can speak towards freezing eggs. Okay, great. Because I think as you get older, you care less about like the organization of your life plan
Starting point is 00:50:22 where you're like, I used to want to have kids at like married at 32 or married 33, whatever. I remember hearing these plans all the time. Married at 28, childless for two years, baby at 30. second baby it's that yeah it was and then you hit 30 and you're like i just don't want to die that's all that's all i care about and let the wind take me you know so i think you may want biological kids now and then when you get into your 30s you could you could adopt like there are other options you may not even want kids by the time you're 30 so if it's going to ruin your life now and and ruin your especially being on a wait list oh fuck that like just you'll find a way
Starting point is 00:51:02 You'll always find a way. Yeah, I think that's interesting because I would say you have no idea what you'll feel like, so freeze the eggs because then you have to... I would 100% go that way as well. I would like options, options, options, but I think it's a financial decision
Starting point is 00:51:15 in so much money to freeze your eggs. Gender dysphoria that may well be engendered by getting more hormones is a very intense process to go to and actually, I think that it's legit to go ahead. And I do actually agree with you, Gabby, a lot which is to say that like, I am 35 didn't freeze my eggs
Starting point is 00:51:34 maybe should have but couldn't afford to at the time that I probably should have probably won't have probably won't have biological children I might but it's very probably well it won't be the biological child of me and the person that I'm having children with which I think actually in a way being queer sort of frees you from the like need for them to be yours yours and the other person, like the one half of each of us. Because you're like, well, that's not possible. So then if it's not possible, you realize it doesn't matter as much.
Starting point is 00:52:06 And then you're like, well, I'd like a healthy kid who's, or a happy kid. Or I'd like a kid that I can facilitate and care for. But I think beyond that, I wouldn't say you have too many demands. My point being, if you are happy, if you are yourself, you'll probably be a better parent to whatever child you have. should you want them when you are adult enough to have them which isn't to say that you couldn't do now
Starting point is 00:52:34 but come on you're 19, have a great lifee go live your gorgeous beautiful lifee. Have a great life E. Oh, alright yeah, okay. Comma E. Lifey. Have a great lifey. No, but what do you think, Helen? I think
Starting point is 00:52:48 I think it's very complicated. It is. You don't get to opt out with it's very complicated. I'm just like, okay. You're talking to three. I think you're a young man. Question mark, 30s? I'm 29, I'm almost 30.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Oh my God, you, that is amazing. Me too. I would say, no, I'm touched too. You could say 24 and I'd be like, okay. Really? Yeah. Botox. I just got a redone.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I feel better by my dream. I should get Botox. I'm addicted to Botox. Yeah, is it really fun? That's not really a good sell. I don't get a lot. I'm addicted to it. I'm addicted to it.
Starting point is 00:53:23 I'm addicted to it. I don't make any choices of bread. Wait, I love bread too. Yeah. Wait, there's something about Botox where you don't think you need it and then you're like, oh, let me just try it and then you look at your face
Starting point is 00:53:31 you're like, I look 3,000 times better. Gabby, I genuinely went in there the first time being like, they're going to be like, it's against the Hippocratic oath, you're too young, we couldn't possibly, you look amazing. We would have dared touch perfection.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Yeah, what a good business model for a lot. You could not possibly, they were like, hurry, quick, get in here, come on. You are 10 years too late. You're so late. Okay, Eve. I personally, right, I am aware of how much it cost to freeze eggs
Starting point is 00:53:59 from a couple of friends who have done it. It is, and it's an ongoing cost. Like, I mean, you have to pay for the storage of them. It's rent. It's another rent. It's, yeah, it's humongous costs. And then we have to do IVF for a possibility and not a guarantee. And it's not, and I think the, when people say things like,
Starting point is 00:54:16 oh, getting eggs, like you're clearly aware of like the hormone treatments, but like, you have to put your body into the state to produce the eggs. People can extract them. It is still like an invasive operation. like it's a really big thing for a maybe and the idea that having kids means it's biological I know is like shifting away but like it's such a big thing to I don't know I think I think yeah I'm deciding for myself at the moment whether I want to do it so I'm really bad at this because I'm like
Starting point is 00:54:53 It's such a massive thing. I do want to have a family, but I don't, I've never felt the need for it to be biological. But I also would hate to get rid of an option because I didn't try. But also financially, the trying for a possibility is so huge. It's mad. Like, if it was a free service and 100%,
Starting point is 00:55:16 I'd be like, everyone just like, keep your options open if you want to do it. Yeah, fill your freezer. Yeah, let's fucking do it. But like. At least the top drawers. I would give it a whole top drawer I think if you're in the financial position then 100% do it
Starting point is 00:55:27 if you've got money then I say just like do it and give yourself as many options in life as possible because options just make everything easier and more freeing if you don't just remember that like that you're not saying that you're never going to have a child biologically actually no for E they are though
Starting point is 00:55:43 because this is the change this is the putting their body into menopause Yeah yeah yeah yeah he'd be really going to it's now or never Yeah, well it was last year Hey Ellen Look, I guess what you're saying is We're all on the cuss
Starting point is 00:55:59 Get a cat, get a dog No, I think what we're saying is like, wait You and I at least Helen are on the cusp Of making this decision or having this I think I've made the decision Which is that I can't afford to And that I'll figure out a different way To have a family
Starting point is 00:56:13 Whereas I'm going to share my cell of this studio You're going to what? Sell my share of this studio You know we don't own the studio Got Botox then we're going to get our eggs taken out together, too. Maybe they could do it at the same time. Let's go together. Yeah. And while we're under, let's get big tits. I think we should do that together. These are my dream tits. Do you understand? Are they really? Yes. What comes? I have no tits. This, if you could give me one tit and
Starting point is 00:56:37 then I could spread in between them. Yeah. I want mass. You want to have like slow-mo vives all the time? I want to turn a corner and be like, you want to follow your boobs around the corner. I want people to look at me and be like, that's not even structurally sound. Wow. Yeah, that's my dream. Really? I'd rather, here's my advice to E, save your money on eggs, get tits. Well, you don't want tits. No. Get, um, get, um, save your money on eggs, get, whatever procedure you want, get the abs. That's what I said. Abs. Because we're twins. Yes, get the, get the implanted abs. That's, that's guy tits. I love how we went from being like, wow, a bit nervous about answering this as cis women to, how about you, a young trans man, just save your money and get tits.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Babs, whatever you want. I would say that was a fail. Next piece of advice. It's such a hard question, though. Would be therapist Gabby Brown? I'm a therapist. Get tits. We have time for one more problem.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Do you have time for one? But all I will say, Olornaw is once you've made your decision, be resolute in it. Like, you've made your choice and you go and you celebrate the next choices and options that you have in life
Starting point is 00:57:43 because it's not a closed door completely to like as far as creating a family. But like, once you're resolute in it, like, and then go for the next part. Right, I'm not freezing my eggs But look at all these amazing ways That I could create a family still in my life And like celebrate those
Starting point is 00:57:59 Instead of commiserating Because that's the only way You'd be able to like keep going with it Totally Hard agree, love that Hey Hey, Gabby Shout out to Squirrels like that
