Bye.
Episode 113 of Trustee Hogs.
No wait.
Did we just get me saying
you're going to blow your clit off?
Like you don't say that on the podcast?
Never.
I would never.
Helen Bower, you would always.
I'm Catherine Bowhart.
This is Trustee Hogg.
The podcast where we tell you about our perfect lives.
And also where we try to tell you
how to fix your lives when you send us in your problems.
Occasionally we do that like,
oh, a prox two years after you wrote in the problem.
But we're really trying.
Are we?
Through the fog.
Step forth the trusty hogs.
Yeah, you're going to give them your problems and they will solve them.
Or maybe they won't and that's your problem.
They'll have guests and Andrew White on the tech.
Oh, it's Helen and Catherine as the trusty hogs.
Trust the trusty hogs or maybe.
We're trying. We're trying. It's a big day today. Helen, how are you? Yeah, Thriving. Thank you. How are you?
Well, I'm a little bit pissed off, if I'm honest. Oh, no. Well, you're lost...
Let me say one good thing. No, you walked in here and you were like, I've just been to the beauties hall. I even got a facial.
I did. Now, Helen, how many times in the last year have you agreed to get a facial with me, had me book the facial?
Oh, no.
And then had me cancel the facial.
and then rearrange the facial
and then had me book the facial
and then had me cancel the facial
then had me book the facial
once
it was three times
once
check your email
once you cancelled it for me
once I cancelled it for you
and I said we both had COVID
because you
because it was your change of plan
no memory
no memory no memory
and that was it just twice
and I did actually
you went from once me once you
But it's crazy that you, no, no, both your, both your cancellations.
No, Catherine, no, Catherine.
Both your cancellations.
And it's wild that you came in and just told me that you got a facial.
Please tell me you didn't get it at Couchard.
Yes, I went all the way up to Notting Hill.
They have other ones.
They have other ones.
No, I got it down the road from me.
Great.
Sorry, Catherine.
Also, it's reasonable that you might have gone to Couchette since I bought you a voucher for it.
I know, but I want to use it with you.
Fuck you.
I do.
You could have text me and we could have got facials.
This, this.
Your eyebrows are moving.
moving weirdly explain yourself.
Oh my God,
I'm brab-
because I didn't know.
No, right.
Let me talk you through what actually...
No, let me talk you through what happened.
Basically, I was supposed to be in Vienna this week.
The trip crumbled.
Well, yeah.
It crumbled to fuck, okay?
Because everyone's got other things to do
when they're flaky.
Okay.
I mean, arguably my feelings about you and facial,
McGill.
So, no, no, no memory.
So basically,
I had these, like, couple of days free.
So, like, I saw a friend, I saw my cousin.
No, text from you.
No, because it was...
I could get a call or a booking or a facial.
Do you want to do a facial this week?
Do I want to hang out?
Yes, do I know you've already had a facial?
Yeah.
What's the limit on facial numbers?
Fuck you.
You can't have two in one week.
Yes, you can.
Only if you want to break out.
It'll be full of oils.
I've already broken out.
Well, then don't stick more on there.
We'll have it in the new year.
You have to use BHA and A.H in my cleanser.
which I do now.
Thank you to Sainsbury's.
Huh.
They sell face washer.
But just again,
why are your eyebrows so crunchy?
Okay,
so I was like,
it was like 11pm.
They're like,
heart at the time.
It was at 11pm
Tuesday night booking.
And I was like watching something.
Wait,
you went at 11 p.m.
Or you booked it 11 p.m.
at night on Treatwell.
Right.
Which is like the UK is like,
you just booking a beauty service
and where you want.
It's incredible.
They're not sponsoring us
so we don't need to advertise them.
Shout out Treat well.
No,
stop.
Shout outing me.
Don't shout out, Big Brams.
So far, Satan's Breast and Treatwell have had a shoutout,
but I can't get a coffee?
Can we believe?
Come on.
Basically, I was like watching something,
and the woman in it got a facial.
And I was like, I want to do a facial tomorrow.
And I had nothing on in the afternoon.
So I was like, great.
So I went on to a website that helps you find beauty salons near you
with available spaces the next day.
Sleigh, like Treatwell.
No more sleigh.
Okay.
And I went on it, and I was like, oh, I got a facial, a facial.
So I booked that in.
And then I was like, oh, have a look at what else they do.
Because I was like, let's go crazy, right?
It's Christmas, let's treat myself.
And I was like, brow lamination or lamitation or lamination.
Lamination.
Lamination, yeah, brow lamination.
I was like, ooh.
So I assumed that was when they just sort of make it look like really tidy for like four to six weeks.
And then that's it, right?
I assumed it's like put it in a little plastic pocket and then like run it through a machine and then you have them.
You're happy with that.
You're happy with that.
You know what they say?
You get your facial little beauty so long
you get your brows laminated, rhyming.
I'm all right.
She's all wrong!
It's just good, clean fun.
Yeah.
And it would be wipe clean fun if they were actually laminated.
You like laminating too much.
I love laminating so much.
I have a laminator.
But I genuinely thought that's what it was.
Just four to six weeks of just sort of nice brows.
So I like, you know, you just like book it online?
So I was like, okay, facial.
And I got that.
It was like, was like a pure hydro facial?
Because it was a deep cleanse option.
I was like, I wash my face.
I don't need that.
Do you?
Yeah.
Often, often, often.
Every day.
In poo.
And then they book that.
Then the next morning they call me all in a test being like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
If you get your brows laminated, you can't have your face wet for 24 hours.
Like, what are you doing with a facial as well as that?
And I was like, I don't know what a brow, brow lammutation is, actually.
Just trying, just trying it out.
I want facial, though.
And they went, like, you've never even been here before.
You have to get like a patch test if you're going to get your brows laminated.
And I was like, what for like a brown?
To get your, you're a patch test.
I'm not getting my eyebrows died and they went no no you get them tinted with it and I was like oh I don't need that
then they were like right do you want to just come in at three and we'll just see what we can do and we'll just tick off as much as possible I was like okay okay and the woman on the phone was like really laughing and you could tell she was like
fighting to be professional but by the third phone call she'd given up she was like yeah it's me again you've really fucked this time
I was like this is so humiliating so then I toddle on down to the beauty salon okay and I go in and I've never been there before because I'm not really a beauty salon
person. And they're just like, hi, hi, I'm Helen. They went, owie, how are you? Because I've
been a nightmare on the phone. And I get my facial. And like, obviously, they, I forgot
this about facials. They start by asking you what your skincare routine is. And I know that
you have to lie. Otherwise, it's just like, well, you don't need to be told. We know what we're
supposed to be doing. We're obviously not doing it. So you have to be like, oh, I cleanse, tone,
serum, eye cream, moisturized, and morning in the night.
I'm doing eye creams. Whatever you need me to say.
so we can get on with this.
And then she was like, you're not using a vitamin C serum.
There it is.
And I was like, wait, because I thought I'd covered everything.
I said multi-peptide.
I said matrixel.
I said hyaclonic.
I said, I said every word I could possibly think of that was like in GCSC science.
And she was like really struggling.
And then she went, you don't use vitamin C.
And I was like, here we fucking go, bitch.
Oh my God.
They are there to sell, sell, sell.
I now have a vitamin C series of them.
But I bought it at TK. Max.
So jokes on them.
Oh.
And I got this.
facial and one of them was like a metal ball that made it feel like someone was
massaging my brain like like wires were going into my brain in a good way but she said it was
normal so people usually hate it and I was like I fucking love it if anything like and then I got
the brow lamentation I was like well I don't need them tinted because I got like a brow
lamentation yeah yeah but like and did they tint them so we waited I literally sat in a
prep for two hours waiting to go back to get my brows because you can't do it straight away
I also spent £46 pounds in a witchy shop on candles.
Wait, you waited two hours to get something.
You didn't even know what it was at the...
I spent about 200 pounds to say.
And what is this?
Turns out, I've had my eyebrows permed.
Which means that now...
But they're not curly.
They're so straight and stiff.
No, look, so what it is, is that I didn't get my face wet for 24 hours.
Obviously, I vitamin Ced around there.
Of course.
But they're really strong.
So basically, I can...
them into any shape I want and they just stay there so like no no isn't that insane no put that
away I don't can you see that like I can do anything because they've been permed and then at one point
she was like remember your eyebrows because they've been permed you're going to need to moisturise them
and I was like ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and she was like no seriously I'd condition your eyebrows so
yesterday I conditioned them with like Aussie five minute miracle what on my eyebrows so Niels
So, Niels says I look like a freak.
I mean, and this is me now.
They're standing up straight.
Yeah, because that's how strong they are.
So I think, I think what it is,
it's supposed to be for Gen Z.
Because, you know, they love that look.
That look.
The, like, I'm from a wind tunnel.
Elderly people also like that sometimes.
No, they do.
Those women who have been facelifted are like a wind tunnel.
Yeah, but not with the eyebrows.
I was like, sorry, you've just reminded me
of the most horrific email I got yesterday,
which we'll start go back to.
Well, okay, fine, you want to hear this?
Yeah, because I think we're done with my eyebrows.
Oh, my God, can you?
Don't do it!
Can you? Do not do it.
Can you put them back?
Please, I don't, they're freaking me out.
Is that right?
It's closer to right.
So I have to have now,
now I've got to buy an eyebrow brush.
Well, God knows why that exists.
I really thought it would be news
that I'd gotten my eyelashes and eyebrows tinted this week
because they look great.
Thank you for saying so.
Also, don't you love that we both went to,
the beauty parlor. We were both like it's Christmas, let's get some work done. No, but yesterday,
get this. So I had a meeting with a production company, talked about an idea. Which one?
I won't get into any names. Oh, I want to know. I'll tell you after. Okay, Slay.
Five pounds for charity. So then they were like, Gregor Great, they took notes until I talked.
I was like, okay, we're really getting on. This is so good. It seems like it went, well,
they emailed my agent afterwards and were like, so sorry, the channel's actually looking for a Gen Z lead on this.
And I know that casting is protected
and so it's not technically illegal
but like
yikes I felt old
I was like am I old enough for ages
wait just to check this was
this wasn't your script
no oh thank God I thought you were saying like
you went in with your script they bought the idea
and then they went but
no but they were like
it was like to front a documentary
it wasn't like
it wasn't like
We need somebody to like
to take the
to take blood from for the elixir of youth
to be made of. It was just like, we just
need someone to walk down the street while talking to a camera.
And do you think they sort of thought
that you probably were young enough but they met you
in person and changed their mind?
No. Later on I was
later on genuine. Because they were clearly up for it
otherwise they wouldn't have wasted their time on the meeting.
Oh bless you.
Do you think when they went in you were like...
Straight afterwards I was talking to Ellen about the bins
at the front because there's a bin situation.
and they don't feel like the regularity is clear to us all
and she was like
do you think this is why
and I was like
and then also when I went out to tell Ellen
I didn't tell her what job it was and she was like
oh is this about this other voiceover job that I didn't get
and I was like no it's about this thing
and she was like oh cool cool cool cool
and I was like this is hell
and did you not get the other voice over job
because your voice is aging
they gave it to a TikToker who's 21
slut
but the
That's different.
That's in reference to a TikToker.
We will be donating all of these.
No, no, no.
We will be donating all of these to Age UK.
No, I picked my charity.
This week it's Age UK.
Last week it was yours.
I have to listen to them.
This week it is Age UK.
Girlies.
I'm too old for comedy, apparently.
They need someone to talk to on the phone.
Also, can we talk about?
They do.
They need someone to talk to.
They just need someone to talk to.
They are.
So let's just give them their money, okay?
Your money.
they need money they need people
oh my god
do you think they like this podcast
they should totally listen to us
maybe on a slower speed
and quietly
but also Helen
I'm gonna volunteer for the phone lines
I love age UK
I volunteered for them during COVID
did you yeah yeah I built I built
I just packed boxes in a warehouse
every Wednesday
oh yeah of course you did I forgot about that
but like it's such a worthwhile charity
and also like it's really appreciated
and it's nice I'm gonna get on the phone lines
you'd be gorgeous on the phone line
test how quickly they'll hang out.
You'd be gorgeous.
I'm lonely but not lonely enough.
It's all right love.
It's all right, love.
Tell me about the war.
Also, I wish there was a phone line system
that just wasn't operated
to put them in touch with each other
because when you talk to some of them
you're like, oh, I ultimately
don't have enough in common with you
but if you could just talk to another older person
then you would do and that'd be nice.
It's just sort of like not our problem,
just let them fix it amongst themselves.
No, I just mean like have a friend
who's actually lived through the wars you have.
But Catherine, you're probably older enough.
Hey, because it's a cool,
back to when you didn't get the job because you were to
um haggard. Hello.
Hello.
Did you see um, Fernbride's
tour poster? The milking
it's everything and I am changing topic. It's everything
I personally will be going to see the tour show because
I think she's the best comedian on the circuit but also
you should go see it just because of the poster. I'm sorry
it's amazing. Yes I know. She texts me and so excited but also
seriously go see her tour. Um oh also this week
why do I do it every time when I get anxious about something
business related, I'll be like, I can cut my own layers. I know I messed it up last time,
but I can do it. But you can. Your hair looks so good. No, but my hair only looks good because
I had to go get a fucking blowdried because when it dries curly, obviously, this is like here and
now I'm back to a fringe again. And I can't have a curly fringe again. It was a bad time
of my life and I regretted it then. And I still regret it now, but I won't do it again. So I guess
I'm stuck in a blow dry loop until it grows again. Wait, are you going to go back to getting your hair
blowdried once a week.
No, but like...
Like an influencer.
Like an old lady.
Like an old lady.
Just you
with the ladies with the magazine rats.
What's Kate and Willow to this week?
Are they going for a fool?
She's a bit old now.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't risk it.
She's not Gen Z, I'll tell you that much.
Not with that family genetics.
And that's all anybody cares about.
Oh, God.
Also with Uncle Andrew running around,
you don't want another nipper.
It's so funny that you do.
Well, you wouldn't.
If you had a paedophile in the family,
you wouldn't bring in more kids, would you?
Stop it, Helen.
You're right, you wouldn't.
You wouldn't?
I'd actively not.
I'd be like, you know what, fucking leave it.
That's enough of a temptation.
Supply demand.
Call it where it is.
That'd be mental.
Get a dog, get a dog.
Should we bring on our guests?
Oh, we could.
We're not bringing on our guests to that.
We're not bringing on our guests to worse.
Okay, fine.
Your hair genuinely looks amazing.
And I know you're saying, like,
it brings you back to that.
the fringe time but it thanks I think you could do that yourself thanks that that
like blow dry and pull across because it doesn't it's not as but I want it to be curly I prefer
to curly because I was getting it was getting somewhere and now I'm just like oh I don't want to
mess that up anyway look we are where we are look we're beauty women I had my hair done as well
we're all beautiful here did you have your hair done yeah lovely what did you have done did it myself
but should you have done I didn't um cut and um
Dye?
Yeah.
In the...
Maybe it's highlights.
What?
Was it called?
Balletage.
Is it?
I don't know.
Where?
Thank you, Valentina.
Lovely.
Once again, I do not...
Remember what we did, but it looks lovely, and now I own rollers.
Did you book it on treat well?
No, I text her.
You didn't own rollers?
I now do for my first time ever.
So I'm old, but today you wanted to talk about it, and you've written it on the board.
everybody loves Raymond and you own rollers
Can I talk about everybody loves Raymond in the extras?
Everybody does love Raymond
Let's be honest guys, it's a good show
So please everybody welcome

Hi.
Olga!
We have the same hair color.
We're wearing the same perfume.
What's that about?
You guys, and I'd, I'd just.
I've got the same top as well, but no one won't three.
I'm a twiplet.
A twiplet?
A twiplet.
What's that?
A triplet, but a twin.
Let's do that thing.
I'll count to three and then you say what you're thinking.
We just did this in the patron and it worked out really well.
One, two, three.
You're Chloe Kardashian and O.J. Simpson's their actual father.
But we're all sisters.
Oh my God.
But we're Kim and Courtney.
So, like, our dad is Rob Kardashian.
But you're like also a sister, but your dad is O.J. Simpson.
They're both bad dad options.
Like if I'm choosing.
If Chloe is adopted
Or like OJ Simpson's kid
Right wait for this
Wait for this
How the fuck
Does Tatum look just like Rob?
That is really deep Kardashian's knowledge
Is Ted is Chloe's son?
Tatum is Chloe's son
He's only a baby
And everyone comments how much
He looks like little Rob Kardashian
So much
But all children look like other children
No this is like a specific face
This is like such a speck face
I mean, I wouldn't, I wouldn't rule out the fact that they would plastic surgery their own child.
But then they would get rid of the OJ.
But they would have gotten rid of the Rob for surely.
Just like they've tried to actually do it with Rob.
I am excited with her Kardashians to see how aging goes.
Like if one of them, like if Courtney is so natural, if she's so natural, will she just let it all go?
Will she just go gray?
Like, because she believes in just like natural, herbal, not putting anything toxic in her body, like, do it.
There is a fabulous way to do it.
You don't think that she's put anything in her face?
Never.
Quint me.
No, I think this is recent.
I think the vegan stuff is recent.
Surely she did lots of stuff before.
She definitely hasn't.
She's definitely had some filler and some boat off.
Do you think she's had a brow lamination?
You've got to stop.
I've had my brows laminated yesterday.
Do you want to feel them?
They're really crispy.
They're crispy.
They're so crunchy.
Where'd you get them?
Down the road from me.
That's interesting.
and the direction was your choice.
I didn't know what it was.
I booked it just for like banter.
Like I wasn't,
I was a bit confused.
She booked it with a facial
and they had to call her and be like,
no, baby,
you can't wet your face
and then have a facial
and then have this.
What are you talking about?
So it ended up being a split appointment
when we were spending like
a couple of hours in Pratt in between.
Wow.
And Richard OI.O.R.
He came to the Pratt when I was in there.
I thought he was getting his eyebrows
laminated as well,
and I was like,
Me and all the commitments just lined up.
Well, I've been having my brows laminated
and Catherine's been cutting her hair.
Where have you been this week?
Well, mere hours ago I was at Disneyland Paris.
Thank you very much.
Hours ago, you've come from the air, from the train.
No, hours, I mean, I came in last night.
Whoa, did you have a good time?
Time of my life.
24 hours, 48 hours in Disneyland before Christmas?
36, I would say.
So we arrived first thing in the morning.
Check in, get in.
Two rides.
Did you use Bellside?
services or did you um bell services is where you leave your luggage at the hotel when you
can't just in yet and still enter the park uh well our suitcases were so light that we didn't need to
you took them into the park with you the second day yes oh wow we were thinking about it then we went to
pim kitchen where everything is either too big or too small because you're an ant-man so we had giant
pretzels and giant hamburgers and tiny little hot dogs that's so fun yeah yeah yeah yeah it was
inedible all food to be on paris is so bad no it's not some of the worst food i've ever even at shay remi
horrific.
Really?
I've never gone to
say about me.
No, it's inedible.
I've seen you eat, may I say anything?
By which I mean, we were in
Scandinavia together
and they'd be like,
meat soup and I'll go
and be like, yes, please, meat soup,
meat soup, meat soup,
and then the soup would come
and Olga would you have so happily.
I've never seen anyone devour a cream-based
meat soup
with such blind
like a lack of curiosity.
And just like,
mom, mom, mom, mom, mom. And, uh, and also my favorite thing about you is when you're eating,
you don't focus on, like, no, there's no other focus. It's all food, baby. No, no, no, no. I,
I, me too. And then, so the fact that you're saying it's an edible, I believe you.
Oh, I was like, I'll still eat it, but even, even for my standards. And I eat the way
that, like, Looney Tunes just, like, devour a subject. Yeah, yeah. I still, no, I've sat
with you, yeah. Um, just to check. I love it so much, though, because I'm exactly the same,
except I have more questions about the food initially, whereas you're like, but French
Food in general is bad and everyone talks about being good.
It's bad.
It's genuinely bad.
That's not what Olga said.
It is.
That is not what Olga said.
It's the whole country.
No, it's all butcher.
It's all great.
No, apart from the boulangeries.
Like, apart from that, their restaurants, it's just oil and...
You don't want to like co-covent?
What are you talking about?
A cockavan.
Their duck is divine.
No.
I like my duck crispy.
Oh, no, comfy duck is fucking heaven.
What's a van is divine?
What's it when it's confit confit confi?
It's cooked and it's cooked in its oven.
own fat. Oh, fuck.
No. French food is delicious. What are you talking about?
I will say that I think we don't
give Spanish food enough credit. Well, I was like
Italian, Italian, French. Hell, yeah. Hyped
Spanish. And you're like, whoa. I agree.
But French food is technically, because
like, you know everyone talks about like French cooking being the best
cooking in the world? It's not the food
is the best. The cooking is the best because their produce
is so bad that they had to come up
with loads of ways of cooking stuff. So that's why everyone says
French cooking is way more advanced in Italian cooking.
And like various sauces and Italian produce is
so, so much better. So the only
thing, like, it's just not good food
and the people are fucking trash.
Oh my God, just escalated into
anti-French sentiment in so much.
I hate it. Wow. I don't,
Paris, we were there together. It's beautiful
and I will have like five croissants,
but I don't want to go sit in a restaurant.
Oh, jeez. And oil, and
some sort of like vaguely cooked meat
while someone's rude to me. I don't think so.
Fable. Soup l'angiot. It's amazing.
Is that French onion soup?
It's so fucking good. It's so good.
Yeah, but whenever I think of French onion soup, I was thinking of my friend
Francis, who's had
French and New Seek twice in their life
and both times had gas so bad.
Okay, I did that to myself.
I ate half a cabbage last week.
And honestly, you ate half a cabbage.
Okay, can I?
Roll or cook?
So, I subscribe to odd box.
I do the odd box mini.
And I love the oddbox because...
You got a mini.
Yeah, yeah, I should go mini.
Just for me.
And then for me, it's like supermarket sweep
or whatever it's called or like a master chef
or iron chef when they give you a box and you have to create.
For me, it's like a challenge every week.
Yeah, I agree.
And so I got to the end of the week and I got a cabbage.
And I was like...
What kind of cabbage are talking?
Just like a regular
Hispy heart
Like what white red
White I believe
And I just
What shape was it
Round
And so I cut it up
In tiny little pieces
Made a hash
With like potato
And then I ate the whole thing
And then
Two of the worst days of my life
To the point where you know
You can eat half a cabbage
And I'd expect to get gas
Guys
Guys
You don't understand
Like skirt lifting
It was
I put on a really
Thick puffy jacket
Wait wait
The way that like Snoopy does in that car
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Where it's like a little igloo on top of him.
So I was like on public transit,
I'd be like, surely I'm safe.
I was not safe.
I thought I was done jumping myself.
And even the thick jacket,
the goose feathers couldn't hold it in.
It was unbearable.
I honestly thought you're going to be like,
I opened it and bam.
Oh, I didn't need to.
I didn't need to gather.
Whoa.
It permeated?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the thick jacket.
I'm so sorry.
Whoa.
Don't be, we love that sort of stuff here.
Holy shit.
It was like once, once I realized that it didn't fear the thick jacket.
kid. I knew that I was never going to be safe.
Oh my god. The cabbage hash sounds nice though.
It sounds so delicious. And I also love a coleslaw made with cabbage at home. Divine, divine, divine.
Cabbage is just delicious.
Cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, salt, loads of pepper, some sunflower seeds. Don't mind if we do, but don't leave it too long or it's going to get all wet.
We don't like that. I never buy cabbage.
Yeah, cabbages is like ever.
I love cabbage so much.
Or then when you do that thing where you just charred on the one side and it gets a little burnt.
Hispy cabbage?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, it's good.
I would love you to come over and do a little lesson with me and Soneil.
I would love to do that.
That would be great.
A miso drizzle.
Oh, don't get me started.
Truly, I think miso has a place everywhere.
I agree.
Put it in everything.
Yeah.
Oh, that's my idea.
Yes.
Oh, I love it.
I put it in broths.
Yeah, heaven.
Heaven on it.
Why are we making broths?
Like, why are we making?
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
I'm so excited because we finally.
We finally have a Catherine in the studio.
We got a Catherine in the studio.
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy.
I'll let you ferment things yourself.
I've been known.
You've been to log down.
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Who pickled?
Like, have you ever been to a Pilates class?
Of course.
Yes.
I finally feel at home.
I know.
I finally feel so happy.
She was mocking me so hard before you got here.
You know, for being myself.
You're good, clean, old-fashioned bullying.
And it's so nice to have another in the gut.
It's like, yay.
This is making me feel really nervous for all of us to be in Australia.
together next year.
Why?
Because I feel like it'll be you two
doing a Pilates class
and then having a miso bross.
Yeah.
And then just me.
Are we living in the same house?
You and I?
I think we're going to be separate
from everyone else
and it'll just be the two of us.
But it's going to be very simple.
There's an FS8 in Australia.
Olga and I will get up.
We'll do our Melbourne Pilates class.
Olga, what are you know
with the best place for brunch is?
We'll meet you there.
Then we'll do an activity
that Olga's planned.
Then we'll eat a lunch place I pick.
And then we'll go do our shows
we all have had a gorgeous day.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That sounds like the ideal life.
Olga does pick really nice places to eat.
Yeah.
We did an ice cream tour of Sydney.
Fuck, yes.
It was incredible.
It was incredible.
Fuck, it's the best owner place ever is in Melbourne.
I can't wait to take you.
We're going to have the best owner.
Ooh.
And then we're going to really get acquainted with Australian wines to the point
where we have a favorite by the end of the trip.
I'd love to do it.
We can also do,
I can drive so.
We can do a vineyard.
Like that Australian wine bar you took us to in the last night in Perk with little
Joshy Pugh.
Yeah, yeah.
But that was just the one time.
I say we like really get to know the local wineries.
I'm into that. Yes, please.
Oh my goodness. Yes.
I remember Phil Weng?
Activities, Mom.
It's nice.
Yeah, but I, Olga, knows this.
I can only join her for half the activities that she plans in a day.
Oh, yeah, but I'm okay with that.
No one.
I would say me too.
I don't drink enough order for your level of energy, but I will be up for working at.
She is an egg whilst walking to ensure that she's got the energy for the third gallery of the day.
I do actually really respect the hell I love.
I love free walking tours.
Me too.
Me too.
Oh my god, we should do a walking tour, I'd love to do.
Like a ghost tour, you know, like a ghost tour, you know, like,
not mad, we could do all kinds of walking tour,
we could do a ghost tour, we could do a feminism tour, we could do a queer history tour,
we could do, we could do a feminism tour.
We could do, like, I'm sure we do.
Are you doing Brisbane as well?
No, God, no.
Okay, when we're doing Brisbane, we're going to Warner Brothers world.
They have a movie do roller coaster.
This is different.
That I will always be in a theme car.
That is different.
That's cool.
Sorry, I just want to context shows why I just randomly said the words Phil Wang two minutes ago.
Yeah, did you?
Did you?
Phil Wang.
Did you?
I didn't even hear it.
What's that about?
Is that a weird erasure I've done?
What's that?
I believe his mastermind subject was wineries of New Zealand.
And I think basically that's what I want,
where I want us to get to at the end of Melbourne.
What would your mastermind topic be?
American Pie.
And I'm looking for something a little more classy.
What was yours?
You did it.
Mine was Vita Sackville West.
Huh?
A, like, polyamrous, queer writer.
Okay, that's very cool.
That's very cool.
But she was also like super problematic.
and like very classist
but she was
she was with Victoria Wolf
oh Virginia Woolf
who the fuck's Victoria Wolf
Virginia Woolf for a while
Have you been to the estate in Sussex
Yeah
Isn't it amazing?
It's absolutely exquisite
It's fucking crazy
It's absolutely exquisite
The gardens are amazing
I actually went and told them
I was doing the mastermind
That is my mastermind topic
And they gave me zero special treatment
and I respect the hell of that
They were like cool
I've been to Sussex
I am not the first woman to tell you this
and they were liars, but I'm the real masterline.
I was like, no, I really am.
And they're like, mm-hmm.
Yeah, yes, Sissinghurst is beautiful.
I think I'm talking about something else.
I'm talking, is it the one in Essex?
In the South.
What is it?
What's the one in Lewis?
It's now confirmed.
It's not Sissinghouse.
It's really good.
You should go to Sissinghurst, though.
I will go to Sittinghurst.
It's so gorgeous.
Helen, do you want to go to Sittinghurst is so good.
The history is phenomenal, and it's like, like, both of them were having queer affairs all the time.
Although you know which day trips
You take me on, you take me to see animals
Yes, I'm going to take you to Warner Brothers World
And I'll take you on the Scooby-Doo's roller coaster
Yes
I drove by Birdworld the other day
Birdland
I'm going
I drove by it because I'm Helen
Oh my God
I hate when I confuse you on Ellen
Ellen and I went to the new forest
And we saw wild ponies and wild pigs
That's my county
Heaven!
So we were coming back through fleet services
And so Helen
As you should
I did receive a message
Obviously he received a message from Ellen
Being like looks like we made it
And then that's on it
And then we,
but we saw it and I thought of you.
Bird World.
With the Terry Pratcher
Owl Parliament.
Enjoy.
And a dino bamboo maze.
Taking Sunil for us
43rd and January.
What's your mastermind?
What were she?
Gilmore Girls.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't been asked.
I think it's probably been done.
Even though I did
watch University Challenge the other night
with Sunil.
Ten.
Fuck.
Well done.
No, no.
Ten.
And I was like, but I said, oh, I'll put on an easy episode.
And he was like, they're all the same.
And I'm like, you, it is, you handicap like in golf, right?
You're not going to give Oxford and Cambridge the same question as you're giving
Loughborough and Hull.
Well, that's mental, right?
And he was like, no, it's the same question.
No, you have to handicap it like golf.
Surely.
That's not fair.
You forget that the people who get on their university challenge teams and their
universities are the smartest people in their university.
Oxford Brooks.
Oxford Brooks.
Like, I know I didn't go to university.
university, but sorry, one second.
But neither did you say, come on.
Brooks, and I know this because my cousin Sophie sounds a bit thick
and she went to actual Oxford, but she'd be like, I went to Oxford
and everyone goes, oh, Brooks.
And she's like, no, no.
The amount of people who do say they went to Oxford and it is Brooks, though, and you're like,
do people do that?
Oh my God, there's no way.
Have you never worked in marketing?
Let me tell you all of those women say Oxford and you're like, oh, okay, great.
Get it, girl.
But then I obviously immediately go.
Google and it is Brooks. You're the worst. Sorry, if somebody can't attach an attachment and
it's fine. Am I trash? No. They do. Tell us more about Sissinghurst.
Beautiful. And by the way, wait till you watch my mastermind where I completely implode.
I also didn't go to Oxford and I'm terrible at quizzes and terrible television quizzes and I
completely freak out under pressure. They're like, swap fish goes on pizza and I'm like
anchovies. Sardines? I lost my mind. I like, was answering questions.
Like questions ago, I'd be like, oh my God, I was awful.
But did you win?
No.
No.
Have you never seen me on a TV quiz?
But don't they like make it easy for celebrities?
Yeah.
Oh, honey.
I know.
I came last on House of Game.
I still think you picked a really hard subject as your expert subject.
I did well on my subject.
So like that would have taken so much time to research, then do like obscene general knowledge learning.
Would have been tricky.
Which fish goes on a pizza?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Why is that being asked?
Oh, because they think that's an easy question.
Because they make them easier as you get more wrong, I think.
Oh.
Oh, when you got down to what goes on a pizza?
I didn't know that.
Listen, if I went to University of Oxford and I didn't, I would have gone to Brooks.
Brooks, Brooks, Brooks.
Shout out to all our listeners that go to Oxford Brooks University.
You guys are going to do great.
The worst thing is with me, people would be like, you mean Oxford University and I'd have to be like, no, Brooks.
Because people think I'm smarter than I am.
I don't know why.
Wait, you didn't go to Brooks though.
You went to Trinity.
No, but my point is
the general interaction I have to people
is that they assume I'm smart
and then they have to discover
I'm stupid.
But Trinity is the best university
in Ireland.
What the fuck are you talking about?
No!
You know, I was very good.
Yeah, it's a really good university.
I should say, I was very good.
Good for you, Catherine.
Good for you.
Hey, hey now.
Hey!
That's great!
With all of your OCDs
and your mental stuff,
like that's amazing
that you've gone to a big university.
And I really plan.
there because of my mental illness.
Well done. Hey, pounder.
No, I'm not going to fist pound you on that way.
What I will say is this.
Oh, God, I'm really pleased.
I'm proud as part.
I was really good at school because it's spoon feeding.
And I had OCD, so I would, I hated the way the books were formatted, so I would write them out again so they were just in black and white.
You rewrote books by him?
Yeah, I rewrote the books so I didn't have to look.
She was super popular.
No, I wasn't. I had no friends.
That's where you got to hold your wristwork from.
Yeah, exactly.
Wait, what's risk work?
For the lesbianism.
Oh, it's a gay thing, okay.
My girlfriend yesterday was like, oh my God, do you remember when you were so embarrassed of your mom?
And I was like, oh, no, I remember my mom being slightly embarrassed with me.
And I was like, oh, wow, I was a tragic teen.
But anyway.
At the best university in Ireland.
So who else went there?
Sally Rooney.
Sally, oh, from normal people, good for you.
Yeah, well, yep.
I should say that I...
Breed Kirby, your agent.
Yeah, and you breed went there.
I should say that when I went there, I then was terrible.
I imploded completely.
Did like Oscar Wild and stuff go there?
And then you did drama school after that.
I did theatre at night at The Gaiety
and then I did an M.A. at Central.
I could really multitask.
I had a full-on mental breakdown.
I went from a mental institution to drama school
and they were not different enough.
A lot of people singing things they could easily say.
For anyone who wants more context on that,
watch Girl Interrupted starring Angelina Jolie.
What monologs did you do to get into drama school?
I did Mary.
I did Mary.
widows
and...
Mary Wives of Windsor?
No, Mary Widows.
Who's who's that?
Am I losing my mind?
No, we're just dumb.
That's a Shakespearean play, right?
No, it's a Jacobyan play. It's a Jacobyan play.
Oh, okay.
It's probably Amelow.
Is it Mary Widows?
It's probably Am I?
Losing my mind. Why do you make me...
This is why I'm not smart
because everyone's like, you're wrong and I'm like,
okay, am I? I just gaslight myself.
And I can't remember my modern monologue.
Gosh, what was it?
What would yours be, Helen?
Modern monologue.
Probably L-weds
in the
courtroom.
The musical
though.
Yeah.
Because we know
you cannot get your
hair wet for at least
24 hours
which means
you would have had to
find her
with the gun
in her hand
to make your story
plausible.
Yay!
I didn't mean to shoot him.
I thought it was
you walking through the door.
You're doing
every character.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well just Ellen Chutney.
That suit
with the newspaper
coverage on it.
The black and white suit
in the film is fucking ever
racing. It's everything.
No, but I don't remember what my modern monologue
was, sorry, but I'm my.
What would you do now?
Now? Aaron Brockovich, obviously.
Yeah, of course. I like that.
Just to get to play it. Sure.
Which part of Aaron Brockovich?
Her big monologue about the
when she remembers all their phone numbers and then she goes through all
the victim.
You've seen Aaron Brockovich.
Yeah, I have.
It is, I can't find a single play called Mary
widows.
Or I might do the
Kevin!
Moment from the
from Hamelin.
Just that one one.
Oh, that's so good.
Really easy to remember
but an iconic performance.
No, no, one word?
I had a one word audition,
a self-tape the other
week and I didn't get it.
I couldn't say one.
I couldn't say one word.
And the word was,
Mom, that's...
Oh, so it wasn't plausible.
Mom!
Let's do it.
I didn't do it.
Wait, what would you...
I can't act.
If you were auditioning for drama school.
Yesterday I got turned out for a job because I'm not Gen Z.
Why would you audition for it?
I didn't.
They asked me for the meeting.
They asked me for the meeting.
They asked me for the...
Fuck you both!
I think they brought her in because they thought she'd be right for it.
Saw her up close and went,
nah, let's leave her that.
I look you up within my ears.
It was obviously my attitude, hell is.
It must be a filter on Instagram or someone.
No, my face was fine.
It was my vibe that was old.
Well, should we hear from Ogle?
Don't think you.
What your modern monodon?
blog would be. I'd do the gone girl one. Cool girl. What? Waxes her pussy raw. Come on, Roseman Pike.
Yeah, so good. I mean, I've seen the film. I don't remember the monologue. Do you remember? Okay, so then she, when she gets
away, when she disappears, there's like a voiceover of her talking about how she like, he can't believe that he's
cheating on her because she's like, she created as cool girl. She's Amy, cool Amy or whatever. Yeah, yeah.
Amazing Amy. Yeah. And even if cool girl gets cheated on, even though she like kept her herself a size
zero and ate burgers and drank beer. And he still cheated on her.
fuck man I'm fuck him he he doesn't deserve to be happy but the monologue is so good at some point
I remembered it by heart and I would wake myself up and say it in the mirror every day so I think
it's still somewhere in there that sounds cool and normal nice I thought I wasn't the same place
no you are and you are cool go do you all want to um audition next year for fun
do you think we're not auditioning at the moment so we know so we know should we all
there's no audition I didn't know bad so we all audition let's all audition for Rada next year
like genuinely yeah
love to.
And like, let's wear, like, hidden cameras on, like,
are, like, a little badge or something.
Yes.
And let's see who gets it.
Yes.
I think we're all, I think we're all full scholarship.
Yeah, and my classic I'll do to be to be or not to be,
a bit of Hamlet.
That's what I do.
No, I know what my classic would be.
I would do, ready for this?
Well, obviously, I'm basketball, drama,
and worked for the National Theatre,
but I would do Joan Lapusel from Henry the 6th part one.
It is when Joan of Arc
is, um,
she's facing her sentence.
She's like 17.
And she's, yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And she's facing her sentence.
And then she's like going in between being like, I'm pregnant.
No, I'm not.
I'm not like I am.
I'm like and she's all confused.
And I think I do that wonderfully.
That and then Elwoods and chutney.
Don't you shake your little prada pump of me, sweetie.
Yeah.
Gender swap for the win.
The Mary Wives is a fucking play, right?
The Mary Wives of Windsor.
But then what am I thinking?
What is the widows?
The Witches of these.
Jacobian widows play.
The Mary Wives and Windsor.
No, that's the...
It was Jacobian...
It was Charleston Estate.
That's what it's called.
Thank you so much.
The widow?
No, it was a Jacabean...
I'm going to go home and find it on my shelf.
It might have been an Irish thing.
No.
The Puritan or the widow of Watling Street?
No.
No.
Can I tell you a crazy thing about Charleston?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, so Vanessa Bell...
The dance or the place?
No, no, no.
The...
The place.
So Vanessa Bell...
Virginia Wolf's sister had a husband
who was like, whatever, right?
Yes.
He just kind of allowed her to be herself.
Is this the one I read the book of
the Virginia Woolshe wrote that essay
about women throughout the years,
like women novelists that I read?
I don't know.
The one with the nose in the film.
Yes, that's Virginia Woolf.
Her sister Vanessa Bell
had lived in Charleston with her husband.
They had a few children.
North Carolina.
No.
Sussex?
Sorry, I'm so sorry.
So basically she had a gay best friend.
He also was famous.
I also had a name.
I don't remember.
Duncan something, I don't remember.
Anyways, so she...
Who needs queer history?
No, no, if it's a man, I don't care.
I remember Vanessa Bell's in Virginia Woolf's names.
Nice.
So Vanessa Bell had a gay best friend who also visited.
She had a baby with that gay best friend.
She liked to sleep with him as a laugh.
And she got pregnant from that one time...
See, Andrew, people do you do it.
It would be fun.
For fun!
But then she told everybody, including the daughter,
that she is the husband's, the husband's daughter,
not the gay best friends.
Are we following?
Yeah, we're with you.
The gay best friend at the time
had a boyfriend who was a little younger.
Tihaha, everybody's having fun with each other.
Later on, the daughter is convinced
that she is her dad's daughter.
Oh, my gosh.
Starts dating the boyfriend and marries the boyfriend.
Isn't that the craziest thing in the world?
No one told her.
And then she found out and she was like,
I'm sorry, I am now married to my biological father's ex.
Yeah, yeah.
Isn't that wild?
I was like, this is getting so close to information
I do know and there it is, there it is, yes, yes, ding, ding, ding.
Isn't that wild?
We must tell our children who their biological parents are.
We must.
Because that, honestly, is almost best case scenario.
It really is, you're right.
She's not wrong.
People end up marrying their siblings all the time, oh, every day.
Every day in Britain someone marries their siblings.
And my brother won't date me.
What?
Every day.
And it is a pandemic in itself.
No, listen, I think you're making you parents.
Should we do a problem?
Because I feel like this is getting really...
Yes, I'd love to.
But thank you for History Corner, Oger.
I hope you enjoyed.
Yeah, and I've loved learning about Sissingham.
No, Sissinghurst and Charleston.
Sissinghurst and Charleston.
Somewhere I cannot wait to visit in the New Year
along with the Royal Wisley Gardens.
Two separatises.
I actually would like to go.
Can you take me?
Yeah, I'd love to.
Charleston, I'd love to go to.
We can go together.
Have a sausage roll.
Yeah, absolutely.
We can visit my dad.
No, thank you.
Let's go.
Well, two things.
Wait, wait, sorry.
I'm so sorry, Andrew.
It's just because we haven't had Olga on since episode three
and I just forgot.
What kind of advice do you think you give?
Oh, God, what kind of advice?
Toxic.
Yeah.
Agreed.
Yeah.
I agree.
Also, my favorite thing about you is that before you give the advice,
you hypothesize about an even worse, worst case scenario,
than I've already made the counterfactual.
So I'll be like, whoa, we are dealing with a much worse situation than I am.
And then you're like, here's my solution.
And I'm like, nothing can save me except you.
It's really.
you could be marrying your dad
and that would be the best case scenario
it really is so we work from there
Andrew that was one of the things
asking Oger
some widow plays the widow
the widow's tears the Duchess of Malfe
Women Beware Women pity she's a whore
Tis pity she's a whore is the full title of her
It just says pity she's a whore
Andrew I said I will check it on my shelf when I get home
and get back to you
Oh sorry I see that's fine I don't remember
My memory is terrible
But I spoke to a doctor
And I'm not menopausal
So it's not that
Oh good
Yeah
I was really worried about it
I think it's my medicine
For my crazy brain
Yeah
I think it's making my brain bad
This is actually
We do a clarification
A corrections corner actually
Oh right do we
Yes so last
On the last episode
We did
We had a trans male listener
Who was worried
That going on testosterone
We'd make them
To go through the menopause
We have had somebody
Comment to correct
That is actually a myth
Is it?
Yes, and people can go on to testosterone, transition,
and then pause tea and still have children afterwards.
So it's not the be all and end all.
I think that's a very important thing to just clarify on pod.
That's a really good clarification.
You can take testosterone, but then you can pause it
if you want to use the biological female aspects.
Yes.
Interesting.
And there's a documentary by Freddie McConnell called Seahorse,
which is all about it.
Seahorse.
That's such a good name as well.
I love, that's a great name.
That's clever because male seahorse is the ones that get pregnant.
And because they can change gender.
Can they?
Thank you to Rosie Jones for that comment.
Oh, wow.
Thank you to.
Rosie Jones, not the Rosie Jones.
Thank you to Rosie Jones.
Yeah. Our queer Lord and Savior.
Please, amazing.
Thank you, Rosie.
Go on, Andrews.
Speaking of queer lords and saviors,
hopefully you can save this queer person.
Yeah.
It was nice, smooth as butter.
Yeah.
This is from, this is from M.
Hi, Em.
Hi, Em.
At Arizona State University, we've made online education better, smarter, and more personalized,
so you can go further in your aspiring field.
I decided to pursue medicine once I realized that ASU did have the online program for biological sciences.
You're still required to learn the same curriculum.
You're still being tested on the same content that anyone would be tested on in person.
the comprehensiveness of the program
prepared me so well for medical school.

at asuonline.asu.edu.
M says, I'm currently living abroad
in a slightly homophobic country
where I have been forewarned
against public homosexuality.
Oh no.
I laughed off mostly
and as a chronic singleton
assumed it wouldn't come up.
But I've started seeing a girl
quite seriously
and she recently expressed
in a very respectful way
that she wonders why I'm sort of ignoring her advances
and whether I'm okay with being touched slash kiss
that's held hands with in public.
I am worried about stairs from other people
and feeling safe here,
but it also feels mean to sort of pass off
her entire country as homophobic
when I know that 100% isn't the case.
Any advice I love your podcast, by the way,
is getting me through living abroad.
Cheers M, 20-year-old uni student.
I think fuck on the street
and then you're holding hands,
you won't feel anything about it
because you've already fucked.
You don't say that?
really never been a subject of this.
Probably go to the extreme and then just sort of like
wind back from there.
Do you not what I reckon? Like you're not going to feel awkward
holding hands off you've done a rim job, you know what I mean?
What country?
It doesn't say. Oh no, there's no country where that's cool.
Come on. Las Vegas?
The climate, climate allows you to have a rim job in the street.
What climate would, oh, like a really hot one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it'd be too wet, wouldn't it? Yeah.
Have to have a towel.
and then you were fucking packing a whole day out
yeah, it'd be mad.
Hand towel, though, that seems scary.
Well, I've got to come up with that solution.
I, first of all, may I say,
you, I am, just anybody
describes themselves as a chronic singleton
when they are 20 years old,
you're just young, you're a young girl,
you're a young woman.
But you never know, look at me,
it can happen, be careful.
No, you got to watch it, obviously.
If you haven't had a public rim job
by the time you're 22,
then you are a fucking spinster.
I've had a public win.
I'm not a moron.
No, of course.
And so that's why I still have hope for you.
But Olga?
Why me?
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Do I have any thoughts on this?
Why me?
It wasn't because you're Russian.
Go.
No, that's literally what I'm imagining.
As a person who grew up in Russia.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It makes sense to me that you would be hesitant.
It also makes sense to me that you wouldn't want to negotiate with terrorists
and sort of please people who are actively homophobic in not being outwardly gay.
So my only piece of advice is to have a frank and open conversation with your partner about this.
Agreed. That's really good advice.
Yeah, because right now it sounds like she's taking it personally when in fact the reason isn't personal.
And also it seems like you are worried about offending her culturally more than like speaking to her,
I think quite openly. And I think what you can say is what you have said in that message,
which is so well articulated, which is that you were pre-warned, which has put you on
like into a hypervigilant state
and you can check with her
A if that rings true given she's a queer person
who's lived there and presumably has more experience
B, if it's safe to challenge that
C, if you as a pair
feel comfortable taking on that
burden
and then also you can reassure her of your actual
sentiment and feeling towards her
even if you decide to continue being
like
to making a choice about safety
then you can at least be like
it's no reflection on it.
And then if you decide to
someone's ever rude you could just spray them then it's like you've got the solution if it does happen
I think it's the problem is you can't pepper spray say par example the police or um like a very
big aggressive man maybe who's bigger than you and no you it really blinds them no sure I'm just
it's like a case of what is what who are you subject to in this situation yes honesty is the best
policy I say that too apart from when you're cheating never tell yeah don't tell don't
they don't need to know it's not worth it is that true
Yeah.
No, because you're not telling them
because you care about them.
You're telling them
so you don't feel guilty
so it's really selfish to tell them.
Like Rihanna unfaithful.
Because he knows and he knows
I'm unfaithful
and it kills him inside
to know that I am happy
with some of the guy.
Exactly that.
I can see him dying.
Shout out Rihanna.
Shout out.
Rihanna indeed.
Girl, if you're listening,
Hey.
Hi.
Could you imagine?
Thanks for listening.
Could you imagine?
Thanks.
You did.
It's so good at the Super Bowl.
Pregnant, too.
Yeah.
Did you do it this year?
No, last...
Come on, you know this last year.
Last year.
Was that last year she had worked?
Yeah, yeah.
This year was like rap royalty.
I know who's doing the Super Bowl this year.
What are you picking us?
While you look at me, stop it, please stop it.
Full eye contact while you pick it.
It's like a no-go-crum-free.
Sorry, just I couldn't cope.
Like, don't touch it with your fingers.
Don't look at me while you do it.
August's lived with me.

I earned my degree
Online
At Arizona State University
I chose to get my degree
at ASU
because I knew that I'd get a quality education.
They were recognized for excellence
and that I would be prepared for the workforce
upon graduating.
To be associated with ASU,
both as a student and alum,
it makes me extremely proud
and having experienced the program,
I know now that I'm set up for success.
