Through the fog. Step forth the trusty hog. 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 And the trusty hogs Trust the trusty hogs Or maybe not I'm good, I'm thriving, how are you? I'm well, thank you so much for us. asking. I'm actually feeling a bit better today.

Oh, you're still talking? Okay, great. I was literally about to congratulate you on asking me how I am for once and then you were like, I'm actually... Look, every friendship group has that girl. How are you?

I'm fine. You don't get to say that and be that girl. I am that girl. I am that girl. How is your week? I'm good, the sun's out and I walked this morning. Oh, isn't it nice out today?

From Waterloo Bridge to Soho. Is that a long walk? No, it's about 10 minutes. But past the Lion King, so a bit of fun. Very nice. Actually, 15 minutes. Now, you tell me how you are. I'm really good.

I've had two lovely treats. I've been away for Valentine's Day, as you know. Ellen took me to Eastwell Manor, which is this lovely place in Kent. Kent turns out, gorgeous. I get why it's called the Garden of the UK now. Garden of England. Right, yeah, whatever. Yeah, that makes more sense to be fair, Scotland's.

lovely. Garden of England it's beautiful. What of St. George's flag, though? Not where we were. Not where we were. It was honestly stunning and all of the snowdrops were out so there was carpets upon carpets of snowdrops along the hills where we were walking. It was absolutely exquisite. We did...

Was this the Valentine's surprise? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God, I have so many to tell you. Okay, so first of all okay, first of all we went to the spa which was divine but there was a locker that had it came out like an L shape this could sound weird

like a sort of a weird judging bit but it came out exactly like in a gym locker yeah and it came out exactly where my forehead is and I banged my head on it which was excruciatingly painful

like did you walk into it or did it come out I opened it and it waxed me straight in the head at which point I saw a sign that said be careful in the lockers and I was like they could have done with that beforehand then I went to the pool then I came back to get my stuff as you do

at this point I already have a bump on my head because I'm popping up it's pink it's not cute I do it again I now have two giant golf ball size

well like like gobstopper size in the shape of a heart for Valentine's? No I was like are you fuck at this point it was so sore

that I like you know when you go silent because if you don't you'll scream and Ellen came in and was like are you okay and I was like

I am I think the women around me all knew what happened but no one's saying anything well because I know, and the kind person would have been like, are you okay? But I think you could sense it was such a loud crack

that I wasn't okay and that anyone speaking to me would be bad. I don't know what it was wrong with me. If I was coming on my period or like what was up with my spatial awareness. As we're leaving, I like bend down to get my bag. I bang my head. What did you bang your head on that time? Off the same locker door, but it's open. The same door.

Ellen's in the next, she's in like a changing room next and she's like, did you just hit your head again? at this point all the women around me like obviously trying not to laugh because I am so angry at the question that I think I look like I'm about to so a beautiful Valentine's Day is what I'm saying and I came back with two giant things in my head

and then I've since then had quite a lot of I had a really horrific migraine on Tuesday had to pull a gig it was awful and then I am and almost like fell asleep on the way home basically I had to pull in because I was like an hour's drive and I was like I can't do this it was. This sounds like a doctor's thing

I guess I got like a concussion on Valentine's Day, but also, we, when we finished our delicious dinner, we watched Sunil's new lovely television show on Terrestrial TV. We watched it with a headburn. Alison Jack. Yeah, so exciting. So cute. But truly we had a gorgeous time. We had a really gorgeous time. It's so beautiful. And you have a hotel in a spa and a concussion. What more do you want? And she built in stopping off of the McDonald's drive-thru on the way there, which I think is actually pretty wonderful. Stop. Yeah, we arrived at this genuine manner, like the most. beautiful building I've ever been and it looked like a like a national trust I'm Catherine I too have gone to a very fancy

spa once with my mother oh gorgeous it's the same we shared a bedroom but we arrived she um she tried to encourage to exercise classes with her I didn't have any workout clothes and they didn't own them

and so she did a yoga class in jeans to prove a point Are you okay I was just going to say we arrived at the lovely manner with McDonald's giant fanders and that felt very like a glamorous juxtaposition Yeah

It's like when you win an Oscar and you go to it in an out burger Oh my god, yes It's like a crazy thing lady Oh my god that's right So when I banged my head I was just Jennifer Lawrenceing it Or

where you hit by Cuba Pud's bow, which in modern times is a locker. Hello? Something to think about is, that's a nice, I... It was really gorgeous. Like, she had a massage booked for me when I got there, and she didn't even book herself one just one for me. It was so nice.

Stop it. It was really nice. That's really special, Catherine. Yeah, she did good. She did good. I'm happy for you. Thank you. Did you get a present as well?

Like a physical thing. That was the present. I mean, it was gorgeous. So nothing to run out. I don't think it was love I need to do this I need to do this It's a tough time of here for me

of me and Saneal hanging out at home that I'm like oh everyone thinks because some people do think we're a couple I'm telling them we are you have to stop doing it so messed up yeah obviously I wanted to happen I really hope I'm not being ghosted

Please. If we get to 40 and neither of us have found anyone, well, I mean, he's already in his 40s, but if I get to 40 and if I only won't have children, then he has committed to, yes, he will put a bolt in the back of my head

and put me out of my misery. Is it a bullet? A bolt. No, like a cow. Like a cow. Yeah. I'm so, I don't know why I'd probably. And just whenever you do it, normally it's very funny because you do it with a very jovial tone.

I think usually it's just coming after the Valentine's chat. I'm so sorry. That was bad timing from me. It's just a different vibe from me. It's just a different. But Sunil's show is very good, but very upsetting. Yeah. I really cried a lot.

It was a lot for me. I haven't watched the whole thing yet. Have you finished? I want to, I say I've got one episode left, but I don't think I'm mentally ready to do this. There's a lot of mentally challenging, like, like, like, sort of like emotionally manipulative TV going about in the minute. Which is my favourite sort of TV.

Have you watched one day? No. But I know the story. So like I will at some point. But like I love emotional. Did you know that there were no gay people in the 90s? That's what I learned from it. No.

No, there were. There's a big clear. Elton John. No. Not in this version. No. Was he out then? I'm just joking because there's no gay character and I want there always to be.

It's not. No gay character in one day? Who was it written by? Is it David Nichols? Yeah. Oh, there you go. I don't know what that means. He never read another day.

He seems nice. He seems nice. I like him. To be fair, actually, there aren't any gay characters in any of his books. Oh, they're not? I've read them pretty much, all of them, yeah.

What are his other books? Sweet sorrow. Us. Us? I haven't read that. I have it. I love Starter for 10. Yeah.

It's a start of 10 musical in development in Oxford at the moment with Mel Guidroach. What? Is this the best day of your life? Have you orgasmed? Why are you being quiet? Your mouth's so wide.

Ah, no, someone. Who, is she the mum of the main boy? I don't know. I've not, I've not looked at. Do you want me to find out? This is so exciting. Also, I saw Hades Town. How was it?

I was enchanted. Was it amazing. I'm absolutely enchanted. Also, I met. I couldn't go in the end, listener. Oh yeah, Catherine couldn't go in the end. She had a work in progress. They went.

Hogs went. There were a couple of hogs there. And I don't know if one of them was a hog. She was like, like your comedy and then I did meet up and she was like oh you help me for my master's and like Gwyneth where I went with my friend Gwyneth and she overheard it and Gwyneth's like you're like famous now and I was like oh my god no I'm not but it felt so cool so thank you so much for saying hello yeah she actually felt really good and then I met

someone famous fell to fucking pieces oh Catherine it was so embarrassing tell me tell me who who who so I was okay so like I'd been recognized at the theatre so I was feeling like pretty like fucking like just cool and like awesome or whatever and like you front of my friend. And then in the interval, I go out for a cigarette. Gwyneth goes to the toilet and she's going to come and meet me outside, but she doesn't come outside. So I'm just sort of like, oh, she must have like, the toilet's

got a less of cue. I go inside and she's talking to this guy and like, I vaguely recognise him and she's like, and he's like, oh, I recognise you and I was like, oh, we've probably met your old friend of Gwynness. He's like, oh, yeah, I've known for years. And I was like, oh, we must have met like a party or something. And she's talking to him and we're all chatting. And then somehow we get up to the subject

of war, which sounds like it's my doing, but it actually wasn't my doing. It wasn't my doing. Uh-huh. And what you have to know is earlier that evening me and Gwyneth went for food together. We went to tarot, you know, the Japanese place? No, is it nice? Lovely. Yum.

And I got the tarot special, which is basically everything on the menu in a box. That sounds like, well, yeah. And basically, I was telling her how much I love Masters of the Air, because I love it so much. And then I'm talking to this guy. And then we get onto war and I go, oh my God, well, I love Bannon Brothers. Have you seen Masters of the Air? And he's like, I'm in it. And I was like, oh my God.

And Gwyneth was like, mm-hmm. And I was like, oh my, my God, it's cross. It's cross. Like, I already had my phone going up like this. No! Like, everyone else we'd met had been so, no one asked for a picture with me.

Everyone was just sort of like, hi, love your comedy. Hi, your podcast, hand me through my master's. I was like, oh my God, sleigh, sleigh, sleigh. Everyone was so normal. I was like this. He said, you can hug me. I was already halfway in.

I'm not joking. Gwyneth had to take three pictures of us. And I'm just like, bearing my teeth. He's crossed from Masters of Earth. I haven't seen it, so I don't want any of the scenes. But it's like, this is like me meeting like the, oh my God, it was so. I'm going to, it's like, he's in it, he's in it. And he's like, yeah, I'm like one of the leads.

And I was like, oh my God, you are. Like, it just took so long because he's got a different accent. I've got a different accent in the show and stuff. I lost my fucking mind. So Neil lost his mind too. I sent him in the picture. And he was like, oh my God. And I was like, oh, my fucking God.

all about Hades Town which is also a wonderful musical Did you see him leave just to go home and get away from you? No, Gwyneth took me to a pub immediately after it's pretty quickly and I was like, oh did he not say we can meet him in the foyer

and she's like, I don't think so and I was like he definitely did but no she took me to a pub really fast actually Is he still friends as her? Fuck too Gwynnett's. Yeah yeah yeah she's still cool with everyone and also she was like

honestly that wasn't embarrassing I think he kind of liked it I think she was being very sweet but she was like honestly it was worse in your head than it actually wasn't reality but he definitely went you are allowed to hug me, but I was definitely like half physically on him.

That's intense, man. Yeah. I think that's an act of kindness, though, because he can see it happening. So he's just like, I don't want you to worry about this respectively. So I'll just like get in with the permission before you get to the 100% mark. But it was so, it's such a shame because the people I met that day were so cool. Yeah. And you learned nothing from the hugs.

Coming into the theatre and this girl was like, oh, I love your comedy. Oh my God, thank you so much. Can you imagine me? We were sitting really close. We were sort of chatting for the show started with Gwyneth and her friends. And then I was coming out and she was like, and then the woman was like, oh, you hell, I love your podcast so much. Like, so chill. Can you imagine me if I told you that somebody hugged me without asking me if it was okay?

I know, it was so inappropriate. I don't, I'm not proud of myself. I would be so angry. But usually I'm not that person. I'd never ask for a picture with anyone. Can I see the picture? Yeah. I'm like, but Catherine, I'm, I'm, I'm grinning.

I can't wait to see it Oh my gosh Were you much taller than him Yeah like double his size in every way You are so if I may Red I just had about A family's portion of Japanese food as well

Oh my God This is funny This is so funny You look like you're about to bring him into a headlock Like it's meant to be a casual armine But it's just a bit too grippy That's so funny He was really nice

Welcome, Brevanya. How are you? I'm good. How's your day being? Yeah, really good. I'm sorry that Helen's already threatened to do your hairstyle. No, I want her to so much. I want everyone to.

I've tried Space Buns before. with the hair down the back. I just can't get them matching. And I just... You have to not worry about it being perfect. Yeah, they don't match. Yeah. Yours look like they match.

No, they don't. There's two different hair bands here. This is like a different hair band. I wish I didn't know that. That's going to bother me all. I just remember once doing the two like pig tails either side. Like going back, pig tails with the rest of the hair down.

Like Angelica. One of my friends, I'm not going to say who it is, but she knows who she is when, oh, come on, we're in our 30s now. No. And it's over. for me it's over. I would take it out at that point as well. I'd be like, okay, I'm going home. The thing is, I've also judged women before. I once, okay, I remember once going to a club

in Berlin and there was a woman in her like, it's a crazy place to be judging women. Like that is like, I once went to the most inclusive kind of queer, cool space and I was like, no, you did. Not the clubs I went to, like, two clubs in Germany that play actual music with lyrics. And she was like 50 wearing a holtleneck with bunches and I was like, no. She sounds so cool. You can't do much as. Yeah, I think she sounds fun. Yeah.

Because I judged, I feel like now I deserve to be judged. But you've been judged now, so now it's like, calmer's even out. So do you reckon space buttons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it again, yeah. And if anyone says anything, like, go harder. Put, like, little butterfly clips in it. I have butterfly clips as well.

I love butterfly clips. Oh, they're so good. Like the delicacy of them. But like, if you go into Claire's accessories now, it's exactly the same stock as it was in 2004. Yeah. Are they glittery still? Like, it's all the same stock.

The only thing I've got rid of is those earrings with, like, the plastic, like, little bits of it and all the different colors. Remember the, like, the blobby earrings? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're the only ones that have gotten. Why have they got on? Why have they're going on?

Yeah. Catherine, there's one just there. No, there isn't. There's still on the high street. Yeah, yeah, yeah, loads. Yeah, there's one in Oxford Street. It's right there. It's right there.

They're, like, they're, like, quite close to you there. Should we do that at lunch? That'll be, I already have my ears pierced. No, again. Get another one. I already had them pierced again. I had the pierced in that one. I'd had my ears pierced right there.

I don't want to do that. I paid quite a lot of money to have mine pierced with a needle. I'd rather do that. They use guns there. No, thank you. With a needle included in it. Yeah, no, that's all right. How are you?

No, I'm really good. Yeah, what you mean up to? Not much, really. Just work and gigs. That's fair. Do you have a job that isn't comedy? I do have a job as comedy. Do you?

What's your job that isn't comedy? I'm always so impressed by these people. I'm always so impressed by these people. Okay, so I am the digital content creator for the Faulty Towers, Immerserive Dining Experience. Did you know that when you asked? No, she didn't. How do you not?

Look at her face, she just definitely did it. She's still processing what that job could possibly be. Say it one more time for the listener. The digital content creator for the Faulty Towers immersive dining experience. Sorry. It's jarring me in so many ways. The first thought obviously is just,

surely it's just a meme of two soups. Over and over and over again. surely the second thing I guess is as well straight at the gate I'm like there is the faulty tower is that immersive dining yeah yeah fantastic we will revisit it my third have you not done it have you not have you done it no I haven't but I dream of the day you should both do manwells yeah it's classic stuff like that and I'm saddles a nag manwell's foreign it's crazy I'll be honest the third thing that's coming to mind if you if I may is um it is so old yes and

And digital content feels new, if you will. Yes. What I am is the bridge. Okay. I just assume they'd send like letters, actual newsletters. And the other thing to say is, if I made the last thing is, why are, with all due respect to you, but because you're a young, interesting, funny person, why are you doing that and do you like it? I do like, I really enjoy it. It is a fun job.

How does one get that job? Well, I just, LinkedIn. I just saw it literally. I just saw it. I needed a job and I saw her on LinkedIn and I applied. She's a Nepo baby. That's how she got it. Are you happy now?

Can you tell her in the face? Come on, Helen. Representation matters. God. Wait, so what? Yeah, it's great. The great thing is when we do vox pops in the city. It's so good because it's just like,

because I don't think people seeing like Sybil, Basil and Manuel out in about in London is a huge deal. Like they're just like, oh, class. London, but I think it's really strange to see like a small Indian girl with them. I think that's what's really weird because then it's like, oh, have they colour, blind cast in Polly? Like, so what I think the vibe is. I wish they had.

I wish they had. We do have an international crowd and a lot of very, very young people, faulty towers. Please, I'm still confused. It's a TV show set in a hotel in Bogna Regis. Yes. Torky. Torky. Yes.

I've seen one episode. In Torky. I've never seen it. Drew knows it, like the youngest here. Absolutely. Okay, so in Turkey, you've all said on that job, but he will not show or. Like, miss an opportunity to show or. It's run by John Cleese and his then wife.

Yes. Sybil. And, no, no, his wife is the young woman that works at the hotel. Oh, his actual wife is the young woman. But in the show, it's Sybil. Are they not together anymore? No, I think they broke up. In real life.

This is actually breaking news. But I think still friends. No, surely not. No, I think still friends. I don't think that works. But the show is them running a ramshackle hotel and he's like English and she's English and everyone's English and Andrew Sachs is English

but he's playing Spanish. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's playing Spanish? Andrew Sacks. Right. Yeah. Do you remember Andrew Sacks? No.

From the Russell brand, Jonathan Ross scandal. Oh my God, that guy who bullied that girl on the phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. The girl being Daisy Lowe, question one? No, no, the girl being his grand. granddaughter, Andrew Sachs' granddaughter. Holy. You can Google this and find out more.

I will find out. I don't know. It does a very funny accent. It's good stuff. Is this the 90s? Or was that early 2000s? What, this? The bullying scandal.

That was early 2000s, yeah. It was not the 90s. Shout out to Georgina Bailey. Why are we whispering? Like, that's kind of the worst thing Russell Brown's ever done. But that's who I'm going. You remember when he made that phone gone?

Is dispatchers out? Yeah. Is it out? Okay, do I reckon they'll do the next one soon? Beat the name I'm not going to say it Otherwise it's an edit point for you guys I'll be here for hours

I think it's the most charming job of all time I've actually never done an immersive dining experience I've never done Mamma Mia or Folger Tower's Have you done the immersive Yeah I did that's what I did

I did that before I started Oh my God she researches that job That's amazing and did you Who'd you take or did you go alone? I went alone No you didn't Have you ever done an immersive dining experience alone You didn't actually go alone

It's not nice Oh my God, no wonder they gave you the job They were like, that girl's not okay Are you joking? You went by yourself? Oh yeah Do you sit on group tables? Yeah

Don't you have family in the city? Well, yeah, but everyone was busy And I had to go because it was work So I just went alone In my head you took a briefcase But I don't know why No, I didn't, I didn't I just, I took a little rucksack

My rucksack Yeah, that makes sense to figure out You know, I had a book in it It had my purse in it That was it And they acted the scenes around you and you have a three-course dinner. Yes, yes.

I had a three-course dinner. But I was on a group table, so there were other people on the table. I chatted to the people on the table. They wanted to know why I was there alone. That was the main thing. They kept telling me I was very brave for being there alone.

By the way, I think there's no greater insult after a comedy gig than when someone says, you're so brave. I have a worse one. Helen happened after the Litchfield gig. A lady came up to me and she was like, keep going.

No! Why do they say that? You've done this one is not the church. Yeah, I know the church. The guy who runs it so lovely. I'm doing it this week. Next week.

Next week. So you're going to thrive. It'll be great. It'll be fine. But our night was like, it got really fun by the end. Yeah. But they were like not up for it

from the get-go. They needed a lot of warming up. They needed a lot of warming up and a lot of like comforting. I can't believe you got that. And your cousin was there as well. Yeah, she didn't hear. She didn't hear.

Thank God. Oh, gosh. like I get given like a note or supportive comment in front of like a friend or family member. I'm like, don't do it in front of them. So humiliating. I once was with my brother after a gig at a comedy festival in Ireland called Body and Soul. And I'd just done...

Yeah, a comedy festival, am I right? It's just like, like, like, I'm running around. Fuck me to the soul. It was not. They were all fully close. I can't just enough how much this is in Ireland. It's like you think I said, you're on. No, you guys have got fairies and stuff.

If I may. Okay. And we're called queer now. The point is Yikes. I'm sorry that you had to see that. Sorry. She's fine.

So I was at this festival with my brother and his friend and him came to see me to this set and as you know playing the like Sunday morning of a music festival as a comedian is dog shit anyway. But I go on stage.

I'm not getting anything out of them. They're all only in this tent because they're sunburnt and Irish and so they're like and hung over. So they're recovering or on come downs. And I go to this guy, I'm going to you smoking. And he was like, yeah,

and I was like, what are you smoking? And he was like grass. And I was like, what kind of grass? Anyway, what kind of grass? And he was like, oh, I was like, oh, wait, oh, okay. And like, what they watched me on stage. My brother watched me on stage basically would be like, oh my God, that's a spliff.

And what he also watched was, me having asked this man if he was smoking, had in turn alerted security to the fact that he was smoking. Which means he gets dragged out during my step because he's too high to get it. He, like, won't leave. so he's dragged out so I'm a grass and then there's just this room

there's just this tent full of drug users obviously looking at me like you fucking worm you rat and my brother's just at the back being like oh my god and then when I'm done being the least cold woman who's ever been allowed at a festival oh Catherine I come off stage and I pop my hair up

I'm like sweating so much I like pop my hair up just to like relieve the and this woman walks by and goes she just do a set in there and I was like Yeah, and she's like, you should leave your hair down. What? Isn't that the meanest thing? That's the most horrible thing ever because it's not relevant.

Right? And it's just, it's awful. It's so mean. You should leave your hair down. My brother was just like, yikes. Oh, my God. What the fuck?

I love it when you have your hair up. Also, you know what? That is no one's business. Yeah. It's very gender. It's just like wild to be like. It's your neck masseuse's business and no one else is. I agree.

I agree. Even then. Even then, is it all right if? Yes. You should leave your hair down. Thank you for saying so. Genuine question for you,

Girlie Whirley's. Does anyone else go? Sorry, we're saying girly-wurly. For the girly-wurlys. That's so funny because did you guys have Curly Whirley-Worley's? Yes. Okay.

Oh, okay, so Curly-Worley is a type of chocolate bar that's mainly, mainly gaps, right? So it's a long, it's like a white wrapper with purple edges. No, I actually. I was never like a huge fan of chocolate as a kid. I always prefer dark chocolate. Wait, settle, Catherine, settle, settle, settle, settle, settle, settle, settle, settle, settle, she's okay. Tell her what you did like, tell her what you did like.

I liked that. But I didn't, I like savoury stuff. Like egg, a huge fan of egg. I would always have egg. That would be my go-to, like, treat. I'd be like, oh, can I have an egg? Like a boiled? No, not boiled.

Okay. Like a raw egg? No. Poached. Usually that was a real treat. A child who had a... Okay. Catherine, everyone, her body, her choice.

Say my body, my choice. Say it. My body, my choice. That's good. Catherine doesn't like people that don't like. I'm currently trying to decide if I want children and the idea that I could have a kid who'd be like, no things I don't really like

chocolate, please may have a poached egg. Give me the kind of spooks that are like in my spine. Yeah, no, I was like, a creepy kid yeah yeah poached egg is a wild choice for a child that's such a what you use what yeah well well poached eggs um because they're harder to cook so that was like a treat because you know you have to get them it's no i understand that that part wasn't really my difficulty so i used to tend to have like fried or or um egg toast which is where you dip the egg in

nice yeah every kid like eggy bread sure just to check you'd um we got back to somewhere normal You go to a birthday party. You're 10 years old and there's the treat table laid out because it's like not sit down footage or whatever. What do you want to see on the table if eggs aren't an option? Well, just the savories. Like a ham sandwich. I never liked meat.

Okay, cheese sandwich. Yeah, well, those were quite dry. Egg sandwich. Well, I'd have the egg mayo, but egg mayo is actually my least favorite type of egg. That's the best type of head. No, it's not. It is. No, it isn't.

It is. It is. It's more mayo than it is. Did you have... Mayo is egg, you fucking freak. No, but mayo is not the same. Mayo is the same. It doesn't taste like egg.

It doesn't taste like egg with oil. Girlie whirlies. Girlie, do not make me make... Say whirlies again. That made me so... I also was about you not make me pull this car over. Sorry, did you have siblings? Yeah, I did add a younger brother.

I have, I have a younger brother. Okay, good. I have a younger brother. I have a young brother. Yikes. I was like, oh no. I've stumbled into this. And did he like chocolate? Oh yeah, he loved all of that stuff.

He still has a massive sweet tooth. Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. All that stuff, just the best stuff. Okay, great. Okay, so curly-wurly was. It must have been so tough at school, sorry,

just like to go on break and everyone's having like Maltese's and stuff. No, we were like bang on the healthy eating in school, you know, when like Jamie Oliver did all of that stuff. So we weren't allowed, so we had to have fruit. We had to have fruit a break. Everyone took in chocolate even. No, you had to have fruit a break. it got, like you had to have free.

They actually checked. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were only allowed to fruit. What, we had a cross on so long ago. Why is it still in there? If you rewind the video, you'll see I drink it, and then I have to chew a little bit. Because a lot of the croissant had fallen down into it. Shout out to Toad Bakery for the almond crescents.

Thank you so much. Shout out. I'm so sorry, I just spat crasson on myself. Catherine, if you'd like to continue. Are you having a nice time? Is this how you thought this would be? Yeah, no, this is exactly it. Okay.

This is great. Okay. She's just, okay, it's a curly-whirley is, a long, thin chocolate bar that's, like, flat. It's almost entirely caramel toffee. You know what? I think I've seen this on the thick of it. Very likely, and there's holes in the middle. Oh, Andrew's got a picture for you.

The reason the curly whirlies, there you go. Yes, that was on the thick of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the reason the girly whirlies would like the curly whirlies is because it's the kind of chocolate that weight watchers would tell mothers they should have. If they popped it in the freezer and then they broke it into pieces and then, like delayed that over the day. C-Matt was talking about this on off menu and I was like

oh my God, every Irish man me did this but it's like the kind of chocolate where they're like it's like basically a third of the chocolate bar because it's mainly holes but okay I'm only eating them from now onwards everyone please send in curly weryl. I actually love a curly weryl but they're so bad for your teeth

they're the kind of ones where you're like I may have lost a filling and may now need a second filling yeah it's a lot. I just think our generation I said it before I say it again, we don't need to worry about teeth. They're going to fall out anyway and you can just get lovely replaced with it. What are you talking about?

Everything on your body don't stress about teeth. No, I stress about my teeth the moment. Yeah, I fundamentally disagree. Like, veneers. I think that, like, everyone gets to an age. From what I can gather, every old person I've ever met

has always had to get teeth replaced. Yeah, that's why we should care about them now. And they were born in the 40s. Yeah, they didn't have toothbrushes. Thousands of pounds. Yeah. When were toothbrushes of them? invented. Well, quite early, but people just had six for a while. She said 40s. They didn't have

toothbrush. No, I'm saying they were born in the 40s. They're like that's, this is deranged. You can't spend thousands of pounds of replacing your teeth instead of just brushing. Just to be clear, I've got lovely teeth. I don't have any fillings. Okay. How me? When did you last go to the dentist? I'm actually, they did text me. I am due my checkup. When did last year? No, six months. Every six months. Yeah, I went last year and that was last time I had a thorough cleaning as well. Oh, the hygienist. Yeah, I love. I always do both together. Yeah, you have to. What you did go to the hygienist first and then go to the dentist

and then they are like, oh, your teeth are perfect. You clean so well, do I? Yeah, that is the scat. If you were not watching this on YouTube, I urge you to, to go and then zoom in on your face, as you said, it's the best feeling. I was like, there's my little eggy guy.

Oh, poached egg and the dentist, a wonderful day. What? I'm talking about it. Eggs have got to be good for the teeth as well. Yeah, that protein, yeah. Salt is on them. Drew, when was the toothbrush invented, please?

3.5,000 BC. Oh, wow. That is insanely long ago. That's dinosaurs. What was their toothpaste? Like, was it charcoal? Oh, it would be papyrus. These papyrus are fucking everything.

Those Egyptians. I doubt it was papyrus. I think it was charcoal. Honestly, they made boats out of it, paper, everything. No, they never made boats out of papyr. They made boats out of everything. Papyrus. It was the ancient Egyptians.

Weirdly, they created toothpaste before the toothbrush. Oh, they just used their finger. Classic. Yeah, nice. To use their finger. from rock salt, mint, pepper and dried iris flowers. Oh, so like today's toothpaste. That actually sounds nice, yeah.

What, pepper? Yeah. Yeah, I think this sounds nice. I'd be sneezing, and if you sneeze when you're brushing your teeth, have you ever done that? No. Fuck me, it's a nightmare. It's a bad.

You're brushing your teeth, you sneeze, and it's like, that's like the whole mirror. You're cleaning a mirror of the middle. It goes up the back of your nose to come out. It sounds like how? It sounds awful. So then you've got like, it's actually, okay, the minty nostrils, I don't mind as much,

but it's mental, yeah. Everything's so visceral with you, my gosh. Well, everything in the bathroom is visceral because of, like, how obvious it is on the mirror. Yeah. Watch them. What else are you watching other than Faulty Towers? Actually, I'm not watching that much Faulty Towers.

Why am I watching? What am I watching at the moment? Oh, sex in the city. Oh my gosh, I find it so funny when young people watch sex in the city, like, ironically. No, I'm not watching it ironically. Okay. I love it. Okay, great.

It's amazing. Oh, Carrie. Really? Yeah, because I'm like a toxic threat. Oh, my God. Really? Interesting. Not that toxic, right?

But I do pick the wrong guys. You haven't seen Annie Sexton City? I've seen the films Oh the second film is I think racist Yeah Dammit You're saying racist

It's incredible Motherfucker It's all coming out now Go back, go back Go back, go back Go back, go back The second film is racist

And I said the first And I've always said that I've always said that I've always said it I've always said it Is that the one where they go to Dubai and they drop condoms The timing was so

unfortunate oh my god it was bad oh my god I'm the worst person that's ever existed which is okay

they made the film which is the film where one of them puts on five pounds and they're all horrified oh that's the first film yeah yeah yeah as they should be

curly girlies get to the shops let's get to the shop let's get in the freezer cut it up that lasts you two weeks you're lucky that is tragic

yikes those are both terrible but the TV show's problem in different ways. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's obviously like

an incredibly problematic show. But the clothes. The clothes are amazing and some of the lessons are really great. Yeah. What have you learned?

I've learned that, what was the main thing I learned recently? Oh, yeah. 9-11 was bad? No, they actually don't mention it. Oh, they'll get there. They have an episode

where they like, is like a tribute to New York, but they actually filmed that five months before 9-11 and then they released it after and then they just said it was a tribute to, which I think is not right. Oh, that's fucked up, man.

Yeah, it's actually not right. Unless they knew all along. Oh, wait, inside job. Whoa. Wait, what, Sex and the City is literally, it's about the four women like, sorry. Hellen, we're just solving 9-11 right now.

Could you focus? Wait, we're solving it. Yes, no. Oh, that feels mad. No, wait, let's go back. We're just talking about being respectful about 9-11. I said first and I've always said.

Large world events. I will watch Sex and City at some point. It's just that I know at some point I might get divorced and I think I'll need it then. No, no, no, no, you need it now. You need it before you're divorced. I agree, yeah, yeah, yeah. You need it when you're single, yeah.

I'm re-watching below duck moment. Sorry. I've never seen it. I have heard a lot about it. Are you not depressed? I was. Oh, I'm not happy. Save it for when you're next depressed.

You'll need it most then. I have my go-to is Doctor Who when I'm depressed. Whoa. Yeah. Egg girl. There she is. She creeps out when you least expect her. Can you see who that is in that picture?

Yes, it's Paul McGahn. It's Paul McGahn. It's signed. Yeah. Yeah. Wow, did you meet him? No, one of our hosts is. Listeners met him and I talk about his podcast on stage.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've told you about it. Yeah, it's astonishing. We are going to ask for your help with a listener problem. Because we're just assuming no one's got any interested in Doctor Who. Oh, sorry. That's all right. I didn't want to talk about it.

There's like, oh, there's like 10 podcasts about Doctor Who. I've never seen an episode. I've never seen an episode of bed The Weeping Angels Wow this is your hitting though That's the episode I know the best Yeah I just have a subscription to the Doctor Who magazine

Oh me too Yeah Me and Catherine can be Shushi Gatwa We'll sit back We'll sit back Talk about the magazine for a minute If you guys want

I just thought it was like a very well-produced magazine It was it was good value Because I also dipped into a few other magazines Not a undersubriced Sorry I actually died aboard of What are you talking about? No

There's a great interviews like really good behind the scene. The quality and price of the magazine? Yeah, but it was well worth it. What we've taken there is the arguably niche and boring topic of Doctor Who and talked about the editorial choices of the Doctor Who magazine

which is even more niche and boring. It was a very stylish magazine. Lovely paper GSA. Oh my God, isn't it? Yeah, I always thought that. I've got a question. Was it one of the magazines where you collect like a little something

as a gifty tweaking and you build something stuff? This was for the real fans. This was for the people who like really cared. We tried to get involved and they were like, I'm sorry, I got a really slap down. Like, you get a piece of the Dalek each week and then you build it. No, no, no.

No, I did also have, like, the kid one as well. I've got a Doctor Who question. Okay. What's all this nonsense about Daleks climbing stairs? Oh, they just fly. Yeah, yeah. They can fly. That was, like, old, that was, I was like, yeah.

What's all this nonsense? What's all this nonsense? That was very, like, I'm not a normal mom. I'm a cool mom. There is a very famous, a very famous Doctor Who magazine interview with the guy who, oh, I can't remember his name, he is in the Titanic episode.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, where he just like slabs Doctor Who and he's like, oh, well, yeah. He's like, oh, Mom, recording the interview and this actor's like, well, don't you know shorthand? Yeah. How can you call yourself a reporter? It's like, he works for the Doctor Who magazine.

I know. He's not like a trained journalist. And they printed it in full, this guy, this actor just like slamming this Doctor Who report. Yeah, it's so rude. He was so rude. Yeah, it's really good. So there's a Titanic episode

of Doctor Who? Yeah, it is. Space Titanic. And Kylie noted in it. Yeah, that's a really good episode. Can't you know? Wait, wait. David Teddy looks so handsome

in that episode. Okay, I actually want to watch this. Why are you pointing at me? Do it alone. Because we could actually get into this. This could be our thing. I don't think we could. We need like a couple's like watch something.

We're not a couple. Well, like sort of, like effectively. Not really. Or why do you keep calling me, Ellen then? They're very similar name. They're very different with you. And I'm always angry with both of you. Ellen, Helen, Helen.

Helen, I only ever call her Helen when she's trouble. Helen! I found the interview is the guy called Clive Swift. I'll read you the end of the interview. Love the name Clive. This is how the interview ends.

Right, one final question. I think that's more than enough, isn't it? How many pages are you going to have on Mr. Cooper? That was the name of the character. He was a nice guy. The character. Yeah, the character would be lovely. Yeah, it was really lovely, yeah.

Well, I was just going to ask, there's no reason why I should talk to you at all, so you shouldn't push it. I'm sure you'll write something very nice. Stony Silence. I know that you think this is a big world. who business, but it isn't. There are much bigger things than this. Oh my God. What was going on with Clive at home? Oh, he was just out a bad day. He was having a terrible day.

I'd actually like more of that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but can we get some more of that interview, please? That's laughing. This was a huge deal when it came out. I think we're hoovians. We're not, but I love gossip on any score. Go on. Imagine saying this out loud. Yeah, I know. And like, thinking it won't we get printed, thinking you'll get away with it. I had a story to tell you about an interview I did this week. I post this. So this is a question. Right, could you tell me a bit about your character in The Voyage of the Damned, the name of the episode?

You don't need to tell me to tell you that. Have you read the script? That's what I perform. You can tell them about my character. What a silly question? What? It's not even a silly question, though. It's such a bait, like, it's a normal question.

Yeah. That's like a go-to question. That's wild. Yeah. Okay, I'm about to tell you about the worst interview I've had, second worst interview I've ever had in comedy by a journalist. in the extras. It has to be in the extras.

So go to the extras. If you're a patron, you can hear it. It is El Scandolo. And then we'll come back for a problem with Pravania. Cut! Okay, so we're back in the main episode now. Do you think it's worth people going to the extras for that story? Yeah, definitely.

It's horrifying. Yeah, it's really bad. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's all you have to look forward to when you debut. You'll get all these interviews, how exciting that'll be. But I had a question as a good interviewer. Eggs from best to worse. I want to be like including omelette, including Benny, like the whole thing.

Okay. Or Florentine. Oh, yeah, okay. Or deviled. So number one is eggy bread. That's my favorite. Yum. Then poached.

Yeah. Yeah. Then fried. Yum. Then scrambled. Although scrambling and fried are kind of equal to me. It really depends on mood, doesn't it? Oh, can I not?

No, you can't have. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Catherine. I must have. Okay. I think I'll scrambled underneath fried because fried is more of an accomplishment. I understand. Yes. Like, sometimes I'll crack it and if the eggs.

the yolk breaks and I was like well I guess I'm having scrambled yeah okay well you change on the fly yeah yeah because I'm not gonna have a broken yolk fried egg I've never think to make that decision

so fast I'd be like oh no we adapt to survive we adapt to survive when you love egg whoa you're a genius you're like whoa have you ever been making scrambled forgotten about it so it's an omelette

no I mean either no no because it cooks so quickly It literally takes like two minutes. I know when you're like buttering the toast and you get distracted by the toast buttering and you're like, oh my God, blah blah, blah. And then it's like, oh, I guess it's an omelet. No, that's never happened.

No, never, me either. Ommet is one of my least favorites. Well, least favorite is egg mayo, then omelet. Because I just think the omelet is like, we're throwing stuff in that doesn't need to be there. Let the egg talk for itself. Yeah, okay. Good for you. Good for you.

Sorry to jump in here just for some engagement because people really loved their favorite chocolate bar. please comment down below your egg ranking what are your favorite eggs make sure you comment drive the engagement get the days up thank you very much but wait where are you putting deviled deviled oh i do love that because it's so 70s you know it is very fun i just feel like yeah um probably above omelet yeah um below all the classics yeah i think like egg benedict florentine all of that comes underneath scrambled okay um i do really enjoy it but it is very rich yeah rich you know have that, you know.

Oh, Shakshuka's, does Shakshuka count? Yes, I love Shakshuca. I made a mistake, Shat Shooka needs to be like high. I really agree. Like above poached, question mark? Yeah, Eggie Brewer's the best,

I think, then Shack Shooker, then poached. I love Shack Shooker, that's a really good shout. I've got cream. Cream. Cream egg. Whoa, like Cabri's cream egg. Am I allowed to say brand names? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. How we have we said. Whoa, somebody works on the BBC. Oh, am I allowed to say brand name? Are you allowed to say brand names? Wow. The whole podcast has been an advert of Tony. What?

What are you doing? That was the sweetest question. That's a woman who does the now show a lot. Can we say cabries? You can say content cream egg all you want on this show. Go ahead. Cream egg. I hate cream eggs.

They're just troubling. Can I ask about Minnie? Oh, I do like a new accent. It's a wild to be like. I hate queen eggs. They're just chocolate. Yum. Yum and yum.

Mini eggs are good though. Yeah, I like mini eggs. Good. Have you had the orange mini eggs? Yeah. Delicious. Oh my God, my sunglasses. I rested on the pig just fell.

Didn't we all get given a pack of orange mini eggs? Yeah. By, um, who get, oh, by Anthony. Oh my God. But I, um, they were delicious. He's given me two packs now. The first pack was eaten by my sister without permission. Whoa.

But I had the second pack of me are very lovely. Really. Delicious. Check them out. I know you don't like chocolate, but it's kind of fruit. I like mini eggs. I think they're right. I think of any more eggs that we can give you. Because you've already done a baby egg. Oh, Kinder eggs. You know what? I really like Kinder eggs. I know. Yeah. So I always, I like that it's a real experience. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's me. That's me. Regular kind of half with a little spoon and you get out the sort of like prelini taste. Oh, those. Oh, that's insane. But do some great stuff with chocolate. Yeah. I would say. Easter egg in general, Easter, where is it? I don't like Easter eggs. Okay. They're too much. Chucky, is it?

Okay. I don't really like chocolate. I like dark chocolate. You've said. But 80% and above usually. You like boiled egg and soldiers? I like dark chocolate, too.

Yeah, I love old egg and soldiers. Yeah. Oh my God, world eggs and soldiers so delicious. It's really good stuff that. Yum, yum, yum, yeah. Any more eggs from the people at the back? Andrew, M. I have to say mine goes, if anyone was asking.

Yeah, yeah. I would say boiled eggs. Egg and Soldiers. Top. I love a boiled egg. It's a real tree. So much. It's an experience once again.

Did you have boiled in your mix? Um, I forgot about it. Okay. That's the problem with boiled. I feel like forgettable. Oh, I haven't like the most of all the egg types I'd have boiled egg. And it's hard to get right as well. I don't find that.

Oh. But I can just. For some reason, it's such a normal thing to say. So cutting. I don't find that. Literally like my heart is actually broken right now. no that's actually not a difficult thing I'm really sorry

no I just don't find it that hard to cook an egg but I doesn't mean it doesn't mean it she's laughing out I just mean to start beef with you no no I ask a question about boiled egg

have you ever boiled it in the air friar because I have and it's incredible no way I saw someone do it on Instagram and I was making my bulldack noodles and I was like I want to boil egg on top of my noodles

and put it in the air fryer for like seven minutes on like 180 degrees or something on that Definitely double check that. In water? No, no, no. Just in the air fry. So when you say you boiled it in the air fry,

you mean you cooked it? I, I cooked, yes. You baked it. Airfried egg. I air fried my egg. That's a whole new type of egg. That's a whole new type of egg. It's a whole new type of egg.

Stop screaming at me. Oh, no. What's the scotch? How do we forget about that? Oh, scotch. Yeah, yeah. I don't eat meat, but the veggie scotch. Yeah, yeah.

The cheese and onion sort of like a round. There's a corn one. Oh, there's a corn one. Yeah, I can have a whole pack. It's actually quite nice. It's poison myself and eggs, actually. This conversation is starting to get triggered. This is so far into the conversation.

This whole podcast has been about egg. We've actually already done an egg episode as well. Sean McLaughlin and it was just omelets. That was mainly omlin. I was going to say, where is it. It could be nice sister podcasts. If you, you can listen to them together. that's a nice episode

combination. Then I imagine we have different views on omelets. Yeah, no, you definitely, definitely do.

That guy's having way too many omelets. But I would say Do you want to hiss like really like? One time, may I finish? It's going boiled.

Shack Shooka second. Nice. Third. It's tricky because I love an egg on pizza but that doesn't really count. Oh,

the fraternina. That's the pizza I have. Oh my God, I had it last night. It was so good. It's really good, yeah. But probably

because of that it is the what is the Benedict with the spinach Florentine I love that That's good I love that too

So I guess that is poached ultimately Oh but I also Have you fried them in feta and chili oil Oh wow that sounds great No new eggs Two new eggs for me to try

It's sick It's great Put a day Oh my god It's so delicious Yum It's really good It's fry it in feta

So what you do is You put Chili oil in your pan Yeah heated up until it's boiling then you put a circle of feta crack the egg into the center you get a cheesy edge

and then I just put like either chiliola or I'll put some or like spices or what you call it paprika or just spring onions on top and it's delicious that sounds really good it's so good Catherine and I don't like feta but I want that

again well you can do it with parmesan really good with parmesan but put that on towards the end because that really will crisp up so fast that sounds really great parmesan crispy egg that sounds amazing it's sick

damn I'm good of cooking eggs damn Catherine you are with the boiled eggs stuff yeah from earlier god damn

I'm actually a little bit hungry but like hungry we don't need to get a tea right everyone says hungry everyone says hungry

in that scenario you're hungry why why not just be hungry hungry Whoa, how low is you stomach? The feelings are like, they're so physically close to each other that I get lost. I see that.

Okay, so wait, so before we get into the problem, you earlier identified as a toxic friend. No, I was only kidding. I think I'm actually a very good friend. Oh, that's nice. That's always with the toxic friends, though. And what kind of advice do you think you give? I like to think that I listen and then I don't, I hate to like, I actually hate to give advice because what if I'm wrong?

And then they take the advice. And then years later, they're like, you told me. that. So I try and like help them come to a solution themselves. Oh so there's no blame on you. Yeah yeah yeah that's so thoughtful I guess but then sometimes in certain situations you have to just be like no like that's not a good idea like if it's like if it's really dire that it's very mother willow of you from Pocahontas. Do you think like just sort of like she's not going to tell Pocahontas not Tamara Kokuaam but she is going to be like listen to your heart yeah yeah that is that's the vibe. Unless it's unless they're like in a really

bad situation and then I'm just like okay well I always do say even when I give advice I'm always like well this is what I would do but like no pressure you don't have to do it yeah and they're like it's no time for an egg why would you say that to me now just making eggs it's okay it's okay everything's gonna be fine

we'll just speed run this put them in a well make an egg join your sports team you wouldn't make an egg in a bad moment though because you wouldn't want the egg to be associated with the negative emotion would you eggs of a happy time you've really taken this

wow eggs are for happy time eggs are for happy time you should be the advertisements for British eggs I would love that oh my god to be the face of British eggs I would love that

that is multicultural Britain I would absolutely love that that would be so great I would be so happy who is the face of eggs at the moment is there one is this is there someone I can talk directly to that would be amazing

surely the chickens you'd have to go straight to the community I guess, yeah. Get their blessing. Because I think they're the face of it right now. When I think of eggs, they're 100%. Because they're on most of the cartons, aren't they? I want to be on every egg cut.

I want my face to be on the Burford Brown can't. Oh my, on the Brifet Browns. Yes, the Berfit Brouts. Well, I know that's, I'll go for like the lower one first. No, no, no, no, that's true. No, no, Prince Charles. Oh, sorry, sir. Sorry, sir, sorry sir

Oh no, Catherine, don't tell Yeah, I won't mention our call later King Charles's chicken eggs Oh dear That was horrible, I gave me the spooks I got nervous just then Andrew, just give us the problem Before she gets any more royally

What's the word I'm looking for? Regal I'm a naturally regal I'm sorry, you know what, I'm gonna shut the fuck up Let's have a problem By the way, this is an article that says Kevin Bacon is now the official spokesperson for eggs. What? Oh no. That's crazy. What about

the E? E. You can't do both, surely. That is a good point actually. Yeah, they're different. Okay, wow. His name's not Kevin Egg. So that's a great name. Your son will be. My name was Kevin Egg. Do we know how long his contract is? Does Prifania have a chance to get in there? I think this was an article from a while ago. So yeah, it might have run out. You might have a chance, yeah.

Yeah, we'll see. Okay. Mr. Footloose. Oh, my gosh. Go on. So, this is a problem from M. Hi, Em. Hi, M.

She was on it. It's good. M says, Hey, Hoggows, a huge and very proud fan of the show. I quite like Hoggos. Me too. That's fun, yeah. I find myself in a bit of a challenging situation

that's been ongoing for almost two years now. Here we bloody guys. I actually love this so much. Unfortunately, I got injured at work due to some supervisor negligence. You love that so much? No, I thought it was going to be about a boy. I really thought it was going to be like it.

Yikes. This is the lesson we've learned over 124 episodes is to wait. It could be a funny injury. It could be a funny injury. Or a romance. I work in a banana factory and I slipped on some piano. It's not a romance. There's no such thing as a banana factory.

It's a field, you idiot. I work in an apple factory. He's an orchard. Oh, God. Unfortunately, I've got edged at work due to some supervisor negligence, and it's been a rollercoaster ever since. Oh, no. Currently, I'm stuck in a less than ideal temporary position as I recover from surgery and deal with the aftermath of the incident. No.

While I'm not thrilled with my current role, it seems like it might be the only option available within the company. On top of that, I'm tangled up in a legal battle with the said company for back pay and facing the possibility that my injury might be considered a permanent disability. It's a lot to handle, but don't worry. I've got a therapist, a supportive doctor, and the backing of my state's workers' advocate program as I navigate these rough waters. Slay. Love that.

Yeah, it's really fabulous. That was honestly gorgeous to hear. I'm assuming a she. Yes, yeah. That organization level. I won't assume pronouns, to be fair. We won't assume pronouns, actually. I take it back.

I'm doing really well, I'm doing. Catherine's laughing It just Must be so exhausting to be you I actually won't I actually won't I actually won't I didn't

And wouldn't After I just said I'd shut up No I'll leave her I'll leave her straight back in M please M please let's hear your story And finishes Once this chapter is behind me

I'll be able to move forward. However, until then, I'm seeking advice on how to keep my spirits high and stay optimistic about the future. While I'd love to be a client of the firm Beau Hart and White solicitors,

I'm open to any guidance or encouragement you might have. Thanks in advance for your support. Oynx and Love, M. Oh my God. I hope you are feeling better. What's a charming email? Yeah, really lovely, yeah.

It's really positive. Really positive. To be like, this awful thing has happened. Don't worry, I've got to cover it and I'm advocating for myself and I'm taking care of myself and I'm just here saying it's obviously difficult,

which is totally understandable because it is, how do I keep my spirits high? Well, I think... What were you going to say? I was just going to say, I think we can all just say eggs and then get to the real advice.

Eggs, raise chickens. Raising chickens would be nice. Yeah, I just get you... I don't know that M needs more... I was going to say, I don't know that M needs more dependence. And if they don't have an outdoor space, it's a lot to have a chicken in your house,

I think. And you need more than one because I probably get lonely. yeah yeah yeah oh no I'm thinking about side how about jigsaw puzzles why because I think they're just like oh no one's ever asked you that before because they're a wonderful activity

that exercise different parts of your brain and that keeps you a lot and it's really fun and you get a sense of accomplishment at the end of it and you get to make pretty pictures like Minnie and Mickey Mouse outside of a cottage Ravensburger soft click technology Thomas Kincaid well you really can say Bradd

yeah yeah yeah brand names fully allowed fully allowed oh yeah um good friends good family good chat good friends good family good chat i think um i this is such a basic bitch answer but whenever i've like got an injury which i find so difficult because i hate not being able to like work out in the same ways or take like if I have to be in any way dependent on other people it makes me feel very unlike myself as I'm sure just for most people um but also I think relish the things that you couldn't do or you wouldn't allow yourself to do if you didn't have to rest a bit more by which I mean like I this sounds silly but I um hurt my leg really bad at the start of the year and it's the first time in ages I'd done like a hair mask I'd done my

my own nails, I'd done a face mask, I'd, I know it's like small, but like, if you, if you wouldn't genuinely do it, if you, if you didn't have to sit down a bit more or whatever it might be for you, then I think luxuriation those things. Like, I got quite good at nail art. Um, three weeks of rest, but I got quite good at nail art. I just think like, you're resting, Catherine. You're learning a new skill. Yeah, well, I might need it sometime. A new profession. Yeah. Listen, I have a new Instagram account. Don't worry about it. Um, no, no, no, But I just think, yeah, I think that kind of thing, I'm trying to think as well, it's like, I know this is so, like, oh, you could get some sex toys in. Ooh, you could get some sex toys.

You could also, I was going to say fresh air, but that works too. That's another type of egg. What? Oh, Yonik. Yonik, yeah, Yonni egg. Is that what it's called a yoni? Adorable. That would be cute.

My friend was taught herself to squirt when she had some free time. So, like, you can do a lot of. things in that time. Whoa. There's this, there's an app. I can't imagine wanting more clean up. Sorry,

that's crazy to me. It's like wordal, but for the tube. I really like that. What do you mean? It's like word or but for the tube. So it's like, a word app.

So you get like a, like kind of a tube stencil and then, and for a stop and then you have to guess the stop. I have like six guesses to guess it. It's called Metrodol. Metradle?

Yeah, and it's amazing. That's amazing. I do it every morning and it's like, it's very fun. times I can't wait until the morning. So I wait until midnight and then I do it then. That's amazing. And that also reminds me of, so the New York Times has a game subscription. Oh, is it connection. Oh my God. I love it. It's great. It's really good. It's so good. Okay, so good. Okay, so they have a game subscription and it's like $12 and you can play word or but you can also play

connections, which is where you get a, you get 16 words in boxes and they are four categories of things and you have to put them together. So you have to find which four go together. But also there'll be little tricks in there. You think you got it, but you ain't got it. And you get, you can't make four mistakes. And it's honestly, Ellen and I do it together every night. Well, you do it as a, that's not fair. I have to do mine by myself. But we're, um, lovable. No, I'm just. You shouldn't have taken that for me. I thought you pushed back, but you were like, oh, that's so worried. I'll do it with you. I'll do the game with you. It's so impressive. Fine, fine, fine. Oh, you should have I'll come to your own.

Okay, all right. I feel like I stopped on a mouse. Why did I do that? No one's ever been like, oh. I did be New York a crossword the other day. Oh, wow. I didn't Google a single thing. So Neil Googled five things for me, but I didn't Google it.

But may I say that I actually think that it's way cooler and kind of wish I could do connections alone, but she has the subscription and also, um, we've fallen. You know, I just, I just do it. I don't know. I don't have, I don't have a subscription. But do you, we also play, um, Do you play Spelling Bee?

No, it's been offered to me, but I'm not really interested in spelling. Spelling B is phenomenal M. I really strongly recommend this. Just in case M is of a different educational bracket. Pokemon Go is still very much available, and the community is thriving. I'm on that 247, so definitely join Pokemon Go. My other favorite game, I play is called two dots.

No words, no reading. I really like that dot game. Thank you. Okay, how many fucking games are you playing? And you match up, you match up. dots you match up dots would differ with the same colour it's a matching game yeah but you can't cross the line look what level I am

though look what level you're gonna freak the fuck out 5,284 I find this game the hardest out of all of the game really yeah there's something about it you've got to be really good with colours I think it's spatial aware it's not colours they have up to five colours on it like but how good are you with colours blue pink I could just do that

immediately white black sometimes I struggle with colours pink green green all right okay that's a pink it's a pinky pink but any colour you show me I could tell you what colour it is green m may I also suggest

if you can and if you have any outdoor space or even indoor space it's spring this is a gorgeous time to get into your garden write a book to garden

learn a language garden no no stuff that lifts your spirits writing a book so hard learning a book learn a language write it in the second language write it in the second language

I just think you can get it get into gardening have you had a garden my bulbs are coming up it's too early but I'm still excited I put them down in November and they're all coming that's really early make your own manure the things you can do in nature you can pull up a book I just think

make a tree house build a ship you could bake I love to bake it cheers me up you could make all the kinds of eggs we suggested that'd be a really fun day I'd actually love that so much Do a, get an egg carton. You do it all in one day.

I wouldn't do it all in one day. No, maybe not one day. That's so many eggs. I'd be a crazy day. Yeah, that's a lot of eggs. How many eggs have you had in one day? Like, the most eggs you've had in one day. I've definitely done six, I'd say.

That's so cool. Yeah, I probably six is... Oh, that's tricky. What, like, if there's an egg and a cake, we're not counting. No, no, no, I don't count. Oh, you're talking a whole egg. Yeah, yeah. Okay, no, I've not done.

Probably like four then. Yeah, I'm on four. I think four is probably the top. Every day. Because everyone would always, because I loved eggs so much, everyone would always try and like scam me off it and be like, oh, cholesterol.

So I've always been like worried. But also, I think that's a myth. I don't think aches caused cholesterol. No, cholesterol's real. It's not caused by eggs. And I think that salt is good for you. Loads of salt. Huh.

It's a real hot take's at the end of you. Such a quiet, lovely energy. And then you're like, finally, cholesterol's not real. Salt's good for you. eggs are fine. Cholesterol's real, but it's not caused by eggs.

And salt's fine. And salt is like, you need salt. Everyone loves salt. Wait, what's cholesterol caused by? I don't know. What is cholesterol? No. You say that doesn't feel right.

That doesn't feel right. I think sugar is the problem. And big sugar's trying to make you think that salt is the problem. Didn't you have sugar in your coffee? Yeah. Well, yeah, because I, yeah, I like the taste of sugar by body.

But isn't it supposed to be everything in moderation, including moderation herself? Oh. Isn't that the rule? Good Lauren. I'm going to show you my favourite ever a charity shop find. As you know, I get lots of clothes. Sue Ryder. Here we go. This is actually one.

It's also a Sue Ryder. He loves Sue Ryder. 16 eggs boiler. Whoa. That's for a party. That really is. Did you buy that? No, I didn't. It was like 20 quid. That's so expensive. Who needs to boil 16 eggs at once? Oh, I know somebody who does that.

Oh, right. Yeah. If somebody works in the kitchen. Or Charlie Clive, who I live with, who devil's eggs for every party. I got her a deviled eggs. a soft toy deviled egg for her birthday because she devils egg so often. I've had a devil egg at yours before. Yeah, she loves to devil eggs, man. But she just puts them all in the pot at the same time.

Yeah. So you don't even need that. Yeah. Wow, it's been really excellent having you. That was great. That was really good. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Have you had a nice time? Yeah, I've had a lovely time. On a scale of one, two, eating an egg alone

quietly, privately. The egg alone. Oh my god, wow, nice, okay, nice That's beautiful, that's really beautiful Do you have anything you want to plug and tell us about before you go? No, no, we're going to do that again. Come on, we're going to do that again, we're going to do that again.

Because she doesn't get, you know, they have to sing. You promoted British eggs more than yourself, can you just please?
