Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to episode 188. If you're a bingo fan, it's 102 fat ladies. It's 200 fat ladies. It's episode 188 of trusty hogs. I'm Helen Bauer, Catherine's in Tenerife. This is going to be the best day of all of our lives. It's already so off the rails. your problems and they will solve them or maybe they won't and that's your problem they'll have
Starting point is 00:00:37 guests and Andrew White on the tech oh it's Helen and Catherine as the trusty hugs trust the trusty hogs or maybe not Andrew's here I'm here Sophie is here I am walking on air right now I had the best, I had the best night yesterday. Andrew, you're going to be charmed. I was charmed. I went to Hampshire and it was delightful. This is my home county, went past fleet on the train. And it's one of those gigs where you're like, why do I want to go there?
Starting point is 00:01:15 Like, I don't think I've got an audience there. I think it might be really weird. But the offer came through, which was like, hey, do you want to come to this village somewhere near Mitchell Diva, which if you don't know where that is, That's the correct response to know where Mitchell Diva is. And it is just the most glorious food. And that's it. And I was like, yeah, I'm 100% in.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Northbrook Arms. Heard of it? I thought I've been there. I know you have. I was thinking you remembered. It is insane. Did you eat when you were there? No, I didn't even know those food on offer.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Are you fucking joking? I missed out, yeah. It's food. The guys who run it are the nicest people in the entire world. And like me and I went with. Senile Patel, obviously, we were both on the same bill with lovely Paul McCaffrey. Dream team. And we're just sitting down and they were like, what do you want from the menu?
Starting point is 00:02:05 And it's like anything, literally anything. Because usually there's like a limit or it's like just domain. I had like this Haddock cod fish cake with a poached egg and stewed greens. I have never felt so boozy in my life. I think it's also because like I'm so comfortable eating in front of people now because like with binge eating recovery because it's like eat and just enjoy food with people. So I feel like I spent so long, like, eating dominoes under blankets my entire adult life. And now I'm like, watch me eat fish in public.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Fucking watch me. So all the audience are in this restaurant. It's glass doors. And me and Sneal and Paul are Al Fresco dining on stage, basically. I am losing my shit. I order a pint of orange juice and lemonade because it's the summertime now. That's my dad's go to order. Because it's such a good order.
Starting point is 00:02:53 It's so perfect. And no one talks about it. Does he call it St. Clements? No, he discussed. Oh, yeah, no, me neither. What's St. Clement? That's why he got told it's called because it's oranges and lemons. But do you go up to the bar, do you have the brave, the boldness to actually say,
Starting point is 00:03:08 I have a St. Clements? No, that would be fucking thick as shit. There's no way. But then people have said to me, oh, you have a St. Clements. But then it's like, it feels very 1960s. Yeah, yeah. It's up there with like, oh, it's a Shirley Temple or whatever. Yeah, what is a Shirley Temple?
Starting point is 00:03:23 I don't know. It's like strawberry, I think. I thought it was like, like cherries, what's the... Glacier. Yeah, sort of like glassier cherries. I love those cherries. It feels very gay.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I should know it. Let's have a look at it. It does fit. I think they drink it in dance mums. Like Abbey Lee Miller takes Maddie Ziegler for a virgin Shirley Temple. A Shirley Temple is a... It is not alcoholic anyway. Ignore me.
Starting point is 00:03:47 That makes sense, actually. Ginger ale, splash of grenadine, garnished with a marasino cherry. Maraschino cherry. Marasita, I don't know. No. No. Anyway, Andrew, I had to take my dessert to go. And they were like, what do you want?
Starting point is 00:04:01 They had something on the menu called a trillionaires shortcake, which is, right? You're like, I'm familiar with millionaires and billionaires, I think. Is millionaires just chocky on shortbread? Billionaires is caramel with chocky. Well, what's billionaires then? With sprinkles, I don't know. With sprinkies. Oh, that's cute.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Okay, trillionaires. There was a treacle dressing to it, a biscuit, the caramel was so thick and the chalky was like a like ganache it was like some okay I'm literally about to dribble there was oh sorry there was like a level it's like someone took 10 perfect truffles smashed them with a mallet and then just popped it over a tart and like senile had that but he ate it on the train and then did that with the box and shook it into his mouth backwards that's how happy we were. I had a tart to tan because I've leveled up as a person now. Woke up this morning over the moon. Wait for this. Had a yoghurt for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Oh my goodness. You are thriving. This is my fucking week. You should be getting our thriving merch because you are all over it. I actually already have it, but thank you so much. I stole it from the photo shoot, obviously. I should actually buy some of the merch. We can just, we can order some to, we don't have to buy our merch. Yeah, yeah. Good because my friend Francis wants some, but I don't want them to pay for price. Well, yeah, just, just, yeah, we just get them to pay. Oh, my God, okay. And if you want that, just message me as well and we'll figure it out guys.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Please, please. It'll be so sick. And then wait for this. This is how good it was. I only slept for like four hours last night, but. You don't have that energy. Hmm. Never do.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I never do. But it's because, have you seen, I'm obsessed with this algorithm of waking up in different places in history. What? It's, okay, you are about to lose your fucking mind. Basically, what it is, is a point of view of you waking up on, like, the morning of, like, Chernobyl. Okay? And it's, and, Andrew, please, please, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:06:05 It's called History AI Films. Okay, here we go, point of view, you wake up as Judas during Jesus Christ times. And it's just like a shot of your feet. And all of them start with, like, ooh. Yeah, the way everyone wakes up. We all wake up like that, definitely. No, because there's ones when they wake up. and they're like, and it's like during the London blitzes and World War II and everything's on fire.
Starting point is 00:06:27 And it's like, there's no way you slept the night. It is, point of view, you woke up on the island of snakes in San Paolo. What even is the island of snakes? It's so fun. And now I just think this is my favorite thing to do is pretend I wake up places. You wake up as a, wait for it, priest during the Black Plague of 1347. And then it's just you walking around, I don't know, probably just burying people. Is that relaxing? Is that how you like to start your day?
Starting point is 00:07:00 I mean, it's how I ended my day. I watched about three hours a bit before going to see. It's too much, but it's so hard to like stop once you started with it. Yeah. It's just, it's so brilliant. And now I know tonight I'm going to absolutely crash out because I've got, we're recording this. I'm doing a run through for a new T. show if you guys don't know what run through it's basically like they put all of us in a room to try out a TV show format and then we all try our absolutely best and we just hope that
Starting point is 00:07:31 mr channel um i'm assuming that's what all they're called mr mr channel go you did very good but instead of a star they make a tv show and then you have to go please also include me in it but doing that for four and a half hours what yeah yeah oh my god i need to banter for a long time that is too long Yeah. Also, the thing with these, I get the sense that of all these run-throughs, maybe one in 20 get made to TV shows. And then you've got even like a smaller chance of like being in that cast. It's like so much time wasted. I love it.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It's so fun because it literally is you get chipped in to like do anything and you just get to go along with it all. But then it's like, I've got a gig tonight. But I'm determined to work before the gig. And I'm thinking Picture House Central. It's good. Have you ever worked there upstairs? Yeah, yeah. I helped my friend Jake with his taxes there.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Andrew. Andrew, you're not giving tax advice to people still. Not for money, crucially, legally. Yeah, yeah. If the authorities are listening. Yeah, exactly, for my pleasure. It cannot bring you pleasure. It does.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I don't know why it does. I just enjoy the numbers all totting up. It's relaxing. It's also, it's achievable admin. So, like, if I'm ever in, like, a rut or, like, I don't have a lot. creative energy, I can always fill in the spreadsheet. I can always do that. I kind of get that with cleaning as far as like,
Starting point is 00:08:58 it's something that I can tick and it's done instead of like the generic like, so for me at the moment, and for you, it's like, like, work on our stand up, which means you're just like writing to an abyss. But there's no end to it. There's no like, oh, I've finished stand up. I so want to figure that out. I would love to do that.
Starting point is 00:09:20 No, but then I wouldn't want to. finished that's the problem as well i like it too much even though it like annoys me sometimes i think the the heartbreaking thing for me that makes me realize we're never going to end it is massive superstars like brett goldstein still doing stand-up and it's like you don't need to anymore and you still come back to it we're just going to be sucked with this forever it's like an unhealthy addiction because i couldn't be without it but i'm also like it's not good for me or for anyone else it's not good for the audience me wandering on and being like uh yeah and you can see them like they're literally shuddering like they're uncomfortable but it's sort of like both of us looking each other like we don't
Starting point is 00:09:55 want this to happen either I'm not okay with this either but it's already going like my I look at my dad sometimes and I'm like what a happy life like oh my goodness yeah the ease of a job where you're like I like it I'm good tick and then just leaving it oh my god I think about how relaxing thing that would be. I constantly... Live for the weekend. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:24 But I constantly have this fantasy of having a regular job that you can just walk away from. But then... Walk away from. Well, you know, you finish your job and then you walk away. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And then it's just, you know, it exists elsewhere and you don't have to think about it. But then you realize that there is no, nothing that gives you the freedom or recompense as stand-up does. But it is so fun to,
Starting point is 00:10:48 like cosplay worker. I do it all the time. Like I did it last weekend. I was in Bristol staying at Jade Adams. Shout out Jade Adams. And we were like, I was gigging at the weekend. So forget about the gigs in the evening.
Starting point is 00:11:02 We did a weekend. Like on the Saturday, we did a sauna and cold plunge. And then went to a bakery. Like people. Like actual. Like not on like a Tuesday morning where it's just you and a couple of freaks.
Starting point is 00:11:16 You know? Like on Saturday. today with people who had done the rise and grind and then you're all there steaming and relaxing mainly naked together as god intended and i'll tell you now andrew i am fucking phenomenal at cold plunging i can i see that for you you've got a strong cold plunge energy what does that mean big no no no no i think me and jade was so easy getting in i was like we're definitely more insulated there were some girls like screaming in pain and we were both like we're like we're okay I'm going to say a word and it's going to sound like
Starting point is 00:11:48 I'm just trying to dance around the word big but what I mean is hardy. You are, but I think you can be petite and hardy. I like a sort of resilience. No, I literally am so hardy. It's just, I just need to get used to hearing this. Jade said, we were just like talking and she was like, but you are the antithesis of everything a woman's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And I was like, I totally know, I know what you mean. I know we, I understand that. But it's still, it's still jarring to hear that. that you're the antithesis. Yeah. I mean, well, has the Supreme Court ruled on what a woman's supposed to be? Oh my God, do not.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's bad, isn't it? It's fucking so grim. But I have the antithesis. The antithesis. It's also come at the same time I'm learning how to use the word antithesis properly in conversation. Well, perfect.
Starting point is 00:12:35 You've got the perfect example, right? Yeah, I'm not the perfect example. I loved this sauna and cold plunge, by the way. It was in Bristol. Do you plunge then sauna or sauna then plunge? We, I'd never done it before, but Jade's done it a few times. I just copied her. So, like, you shower, which is cold water, but it's just like a sprinkle in the sauna
Starting point is 00:12:54 and then essential oils in the steam. And it was like, you just felt immediately like, I am, I am a goddess. Like, I felt like Katie Perry landing on earth. I understood the world. And then you go outside and you go lie in a tin bucket of cold water. And then it all goes off into this river of just dead skin cells, skin river, I'm assuming. And then you just sit there and then you go back into the warmth. And everyone was like, oh, like, you'll feel really high afterwards that you've taken a pill.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And I was like, I don't know. I could barely walk. I can see what people get addicted to it. I think I meant to do that as my hobby. When you say barely walk like, like sort of like a post-orgasm sort of like contentment. I wish I had orgasms that good. Yeah. Like during orgasm walk
Starting point is 00:13:45 That sort of level Like I was stumbling I had a gig that evening If anyone was at Bristol On the Saturday night For comedy gaff I could not get out the words Hendoo or Wedding
Starting point is 00:13:57 I kept saying When do and heading Like I couldn't do it It was properly fried you I was totally Because it's like all those I mean surely it's like Doing a full
Starting point is 00:14:08 It felt like I'd lived Two seasons Going between all that And also you know I'm like, once my nipples get cold, the day's over for me in general. Like, everyone's always, like, funny about, like, my head getting cold. Like, if the inside of my nipple gets chilly, I'm out. You can't see this listener, but you know, like, in the F1, when they put, like, blankets and stuff over the tires to keep them warm.
Starting point is 00:14:30 When we stop recording, we do that with Helen's nipples, just to keep us going. We've got to... Can you put blankets over car of tires? Yeah, yeah, because they're very sensitive to heat and changes and stuff like that. For fuck. Are you serious? Yeah, because they're going, like, 200. miles an hour or something so that's too fast yeah I know and I think get a lot of tickets
Starting point is 00:14:47 god Jesus Christ no we don't like that Andrew that's not okay um what else has been oh my god wait I have to tell you this as well I ate um so much on Easter I gave myself a tub of cake um but then I spoke to Sinil Patel yeah and um it's just gonna be happening now for my moments I'm 34 I have to accept my body is breaking down like I've just I am I'm accepting it now i ate easter eggs had a couple people over mine and double chocolateed too hard and then had a large dominoes which he's like it's the dominoes and i can't allow that to be true yet had the worst tummy ache for two days i've diagnosed myself with gallstones oh no i have i've diagnosed myself i've got doctor's appointment on saturday morning a phone appointment and i'm just
Starting point is 00:15:36 going to be like i think i need a scan i think i've got it yeah what are the symptoms of gallstones pain. Okay. I think that's the symptoms of a lot of things. No, no. Not in the quadrant of my stomach. The quadrant. It radiates from a certain quadrant of my tummy.
Starting point is 00:15:52 And it's happened five times now. And I'm like, there's got to be something to it. And then everyone's like, oh, no, no. It's just because you had a large dominoes. I'm like, it's not. It's a hundred percent not. Obviously the dominoes could be linked to it. But I refuse.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I cannot live in a world where dominoes is taken away from me yet. I'm not, I'm 34, I'm too young. I'm too young for that. You don't want to give it up yet. I don't. And I know people eat through like allergies because they're not willing to accept it. Oh yeah, gluten, people that don't realize they're gluten intolerant or do but refuse to accept it. They're just like killing their body, but they'll keep going.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Because you'll take the gas for the food you want. Like, life balances itself out. I love the idea of you phoning up the doctor being like, doctor, I'll save you the time. Lower right quadrant, tummy outchy. Upper right. Up right, up right. Say it with me, Doc. One, two, three, gallstones. Book the scan. I called 1-1-1. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I was in such bad pain and they were like, but are you like blacking out from pain? And I was like, no, because I'm on the phone with you. And you know, you're always like, I'm just, I'm not in enough pain for you. Like, you just don't. And then they were like, what are you doing? And I was like, I'm writhing. And they went, writhing. And I was like, I'm writhing.
Starting point is 00:17:02 And they were like, what does that mean? I'm like, I'm going back and forth and I'm a bit sweaty. And they were like, oh, okay. And I was like, but if I blacked out, I can't call you. Yeah. But I made the mistake. saying that I had an adult in the house with me which I did my housemate
Starting point is 00:17:18 yeah not just some like random adult I've had charming time apart from my tummy ache it's been charming what chocolate I've not seen you in so long I've not been to record in ages what Easter egg did you have okay I had two
Starting point is 00:17:34 I had an M&S chalky egg that was gifted to me by the King's Trust because I did a charity gig for them And then thank you very much to a lovely man And his wife couldn't come to the gig in Leeds He knows who he is
Starting point is 00:17:51 Who gave me a lint chocolate egg and a bunny But then when I got back from Bristol on Easter Sunday I spent an hour making fairy cakes With mini eggs in them So I also bought a lot of mini eggs And then Heidi Regan came over and did a Kit Kat Easter egg hunt And then I broke up the lint chocolate egg And I made a big cake
Starting point is 00:18:11 And I put that all over the top of it and um i just i got a bit of out of control yeah what did you have i had um i do oh well so rice got me a um mini egg easter egg with one of the ones that were like the mini eggs were baked into the easter egg oh sway really good and a kit cat like brownie one shut the fuck up yeah it was nice and then um i had a gig in brighton on wednesday and i went into the tesco express to get something for the train home and all the easter eggs were reduced I ate two Easterings on the drink But did you feel fine afterwards?
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because you're 25. Your body doesn't like, I'm, I'm starting, I've got to have to accept. Like, I've got to start building up muscle. Because if I don't do it now, I'm just going to snap. I just know it. People do say, I was listening to, my car isn't like linking to my phone anymore.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So I'm listening to a lot of radio too. Yay. Whenever Claire Ron Acres reads the news, it goes, this is the BBC 10 o'clock with Claire Ron Acres and always go, hi, Claire. I'm in a weird place right now. Anyway, you look great. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:19:18 And that's what matters. As long as you look good, doesn't matter what's going on inside your head. What they were saying. Toxic thought. Yeah, I don't think that's the general message from mental health charities. But it is for today.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah, yeah. That's the theme of this podcast. But they were talking to a health expert who said, like, oh, exercise isn't just about like, you know, getting skinny or whatever. You must do muscle exercises to keep you fit and healthy in old age. You don't want your muscles well. wasting away. So that's like one of the most important things about exercise is not necessarily
Starting point is 00:19:45 like aesthetic or weight, but like muscle density. That's the thing because I think I've got no muscles in my back. I think my back is just like fat, which means, and then because I've got such massive breasts, I think I'm going to be one of those women that just bends over one day and never stands like up again. Like I just, I don't know how it happens because they slowly go down and I've already got that bump at the top of my back and that's from, I genuinely believe that's from Pokemon Go and puzzling. in so many years that like it's a please off
Starting point is 00:20:14 you'll be respectful of my medical injuries yeah but it is yours from puzzling oh sleigh because I puzzled like every day for about three years and it just fucks you up but then I'm like because of this rack like I know I'm going forward a little bit
Starting point is 00:20:31 I've got no muscles to hold me up so I just know I'm going to end up being one of those like women walking like that but then I can't be because I'm a mouth breather and then if you're if you lean forward as a mouth breather there's a good chance spit comes out. It's just like part of the territory. And then you're like, oh, well then stop being a mouth breather.
Starting point is 00:20:48 I have to have an operation on my nose to do that. Might as well get my tits reduced if we're doing that. That is so expensive. Yeah, that's a lot. Please join the Patreon. Please join the Patreon. I've got a lot of surgeries to do. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:00 We've got so much. Because I've always got such a dry mouth. So in your future, you think you're going to lean forward, dribbling a pool, and then the weight of your tits is going to face, plant you into your own pool of drool. I haven't even got to the face planting. Now that's a concern. I just think there's just like,
Starting point is 00:21:18 it's just in no way that's not going to happen to me. And I love being upright. I love, I love seeing out. I think I find it so hard to cross a road having to look to each side like that. If anyone's like a PT, can you please get in contact
Starting point is 00:21:33 and let me know exercises that will keep me upright for the longest amount of time. Please, she loves being upright. I love being upright. I love looking out. it just suits me. I like the cinema. I love the theatre. Let me enjoy myself. And until we figure out a solution to that, shall we, shall we bring on our guests? Yeah, go on. Should we bring on our guests? Oh yeah. We've got multiple. I mean, who knows what's going

The film is based on the true story of Derek Bentley, who was convicted of the murder of a police officer by joint enterprise and was hanged in 93 under controversial circumstances. Right, what were the controversial circumstances? I've got to go to the citation there. Did they not have peer point to do the right measurement of the rope?

Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah, I know. In Sydney. We were on the same gig. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. So I said. You hid in the wings. I was high in a really weird way.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But I was supposed to go on last and I was like, oh man, I cannot be far. Why would you be on last? I know, headliner. And so I was very talented. I messaged them. I messaged them. I was like, weird, odd, you know, doesn't fit in, but you feel like you should laugh because if not, it is sadder.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I know. I'm always laughing to fly. To fly my freak flag. So I was supposed to be last. Headliner. Headliner Andrew. And I was like, I texted. I was like, oh, I'm really sorry.

And I turn up and Edbert and he's angry. You go, see him, I'm going to choose when he goes on. And he's like, basically, I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. But he's about the headliner anyway.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You know, he's going to bring him home. This is, you know, an older crowd. And I... Who are you talking to? Sorry? The cameras, the audience. He talks out to the cameras. Yeah, well, he's different.
Starting point is 00:32:01 So basically, but you know, for every amazing idea I have, I have 15 dark thoughts. I'm the other way around. so so i do so i go on my dark thought i go on yeah i die on my poo day so i really what you don't i didn't think it was a great gig on what i just died i i didn't and so then my friend ray and i went we went to the place next door to the theater to smoke shisha and we were still smoking shisha as the crowd and the promoter who i'd been texting me like i've got to get out of there got to be in the set we're just there smoking a shisha flavor called Mario Brothers.
Starting point is 00:32:40 They're difficult anecdotes to tell, aren't they, these ones? No, that was all right. You were taking it in. Mine was the same. Mine was tough. I found mine tough. I, honestly,
Starting point is 00:32:49 do a similar anecdotes so we've all done, one. But mine are good, mine are punchy. You look astonished. Well, I just thought it was all right. Like, people don't always need to be gone, ah, like, people just like can have a right smile.

Starting point is 00:33:56 I've had people turn that around because I'm laughing at your set and they're like, what the fuck is your problem? Never. Never. I've literally seen you leave when I go on stage. That's to get more people. I do not support women in comedy. That's to get more punters to be, come, come, see her, watch her.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Oh, you crack me up. A woman walks on. There's not about the little guys, like there needs to be a treaty. That's in the new show. It's a fantastic show. Thank you. I like short men, but not in a sexual way, just for friendship. It doesn't matter.

Okay, this one time, this one time I had to do a gig, and I was in Berlin, and I was quite new, and I really needed toilet, okay?

Starting point is 00:44:49 And then he was culpable for the murder. But that's the whole crux of the film. Does he mean let him have the gun or does he mean shoot him? Oh, yeah. What do you think?

Starting point is 00:56:14 oh, we love, like, you know, they just love having Helen around. Oh, I'll take that. Yeah. And she works really hard. You might not see it because it seems so, like, joyful and effortless. but she works really hard as well. I do work really hard. It's the swan's feet.

Starting point is 00:57:00 yes thank you for that fucking fit you've had a small teaspoon of the chemistry between Helen and Tim and be on the look at for this new sitcom that's coming out
Starting point is 00:57:08 where Tim has Apricot and Helen has Pat and they share the screen I can't wait to film it now time for a listener problem on this podcast we do listener problems where our listeners
Starting point is 00:57:17 write in and we solve their problems and today the three of us are going to do that for someone else because it's important to give because if we keep facing the sun the shadows will always fall behind us and today we will ensure that person
Starting point is 00:57:30 you can't get a tan from a drawing of the sun one second Tim put his hand up to ask a question you just spoke no bad rude very rude and unkind adorable I was wondering whether we can after this section just so we know what our format is upcoming after this can we
Starting point is 00:57:51 read a couple of pages of Pat talking to apricot from his script you can't do that. Yeah. That's like illegal. Have you got it on you? Yeah. No, but I don't think you're allowed to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, because it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, yeah. It's like, it's real. It's not fake. Guys, join the patron, come to the extras. Get a look at Channel 4. I don't think you're allowed to do that.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Because they wouldn't do that for like Gladiator 2 or something. They wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, I'll read a bit of the script. That sounds like, isn't it? I'm, I could get them a bit of whole water here, Tim. I'd probably even be sure to me even be saying the word apricot right now the producers are going to kill me it doesn't matter because we're onto the we're into this feature first with helen's feature about the problems Andrew will you step in and promise that
Starting point is 00:58:31 this because I don't know if you're allowed to do a reading of something that hasn't even been filmed yet for me this is like a nature documentary I just have to let it unfolds I can't step in wait what animals are we can't play God he's only 25 God's probably about 80 he's older than that
Starting point is 00:58:47 you think yeah oh bloody out like Trump No, Trump's not 80 Yet, Trump's 80 Is he? Yeah, he's old Why is I think he was like 60 something? Because he's so ideal No, not nice man and I know that
Starting point is 00:59:04 And I want the audience to know that I know that Because I am educated Andrew We'd love to have a question He did it again You're being, who are you showing off to Is it Tim or me? Is it off you and Andrew?
Starting point is 00:59:17 Can you stop biting that? Andrew, we'd love to love to have a listener problem and in advance for the listener who's written in, sorry. Yeah, I've deliberately not picked anyone like on the... I find Catherine patronises the listeners questions quite often. Unbelievable. Like, she talks to them as
Starting point is 00:59:32 if they're like a 13 year old kid who's like at a sleepover. She sometimes be like, and do that okay and it should be okay. We're going to give real proper grounded answers that are not idealistic. We always give proper answers. Yes, please Tim. Do we have like a biscuit? No, but I do have a protein
Starting point is 00:59:48 bar, two satsumas, a pot of mixed nuts and a peanut butter sandwich in my bag. Wouldn't mind a satsuma. One second. Should I read the problem? Yeah. One satsuma, Tim, is from like a shop like 10 days ago and one is from a shop two days ago.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Does it matter? What do you think? I imagine so. Are they tiny ones? Yeah. Oh, they're really tiny. Okay, Tim's feeding window is flying open. He will now be fed this, Satsuma.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Um, dear listeners It smells a little banana Say it banana On the train this morning From that pot He just went to me as well How do you fit a banana in that pot? It was a little organic banana
Starting point is 01:00:30 Oh nice She's doing well I'd have snacks for me Is it a problem from me? No, no no you peel it first Oh no Oh you fucking muntow You dirty prick
Starting point is 01:00:42 What do we got here? Uh, he says Hi trusty hogs Hi You're not a trusty hogs You say hi E you are You are for today Hi, E. You're beautiful.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Hi, E. Say it. Hi, E. Hi, E. Good boys. I'm 22, she, her. And in August, I'm moving into a student house for uni. Ooh. University. Yes, indeed. How old is this person? 22. The six of us living in the house.
Starting point is 01:01:06 The problem is that me and another housemate confessed our attraction for each other whilst drunk. I'm entirely to blame, as I was the one who said I liked her first. Since then, we've been texting on and off all over the Easter holiday. and my question is, do I date her? Everyone keeps telling me it's a bad idea and she said one of her friends said the exact same. But the chemistry between us makes it so hard not to flirt. I didn't have feelings for her
Starting point is 01:01:30 when we all signed the lease but now we've got past Christmas break I realize I do. What should I do? Okay, did anyone here go to university? Yes, a friend of mine Oh, damn it. Step with someone on a pool table, just as an aside. Do you think that's relevant?
Starting point is 01:01:46 I don't think so. Well, did they enjoy it? It is actually relevant because what happened then was we moved into a house together and the girl from the pool table anecdote was living next door. But also they had a door between their two bedrooms. Oh. You could go from one house to the other through a door in the... Okay, that's charming, though.
Starting point is 01:02:09 That's a farce. Is it still charming when they broke up? You tell me. Oh yeah, that's not charming then. Because everyone does break up, don't they? eventually, if not through relationship problems, death. I don't know. I think you've got to go for it, though.
Starting point is 01:02:22 If you've got a vibe with them. You're 22, go for it. Even if it explodes, it'll be so worth. There's six people in the house, and it's like you're predicting future awkwardness, but there's always going to be future, like, you are going to shit yourself, like, four times in your life, and it's going to be awful.
Starting point is 01:02:36 There's going to be an argument over, like, who bought some aluminium foil or something. You're going to fall downstairs in front of so many people, you know. Yeah, always choose love. You're 22. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to accidentally vomit down yourself or on top of someone else at some point
Starting point is 01:02:49 Like things are going to go wrong I went out with someone who I lived with And we were living together first Did you do it? It blew up in our face She was a hairdresser She was obsessed with thinking people were aliens By the shape of their head
Starting point is 01:03:01 She could be like touch them and be like, yep, alien She like knew from the shape of their head And that sort of ended maybe a little bit Pairshape edit That we became friends after that And it was totally worth it Are you still friends now? I haven't checked in for a while
Starting point is 01:03:14 Yeah, she lives in Brisbane, she's nice I once fancied this boy so much He moved really close to me And I was like, it's because he loves me It's always moved close But he didn't, it just worked out practically That his friends had already found somewhere I just happened to be close
Starting point is 01:03:28 But I took it as a sign And I used to just like always be like around his Like, hey Are you still in touch with him? No Do you check in? I mean, I search him every now and again On that's a similar thing
Starting point is 01:03:39 But he just doesn't post, you know? I don't need to post No I don't need to know either It's none of my business, is that? But Tim, you're sort of a bit of a cassernaver or someone who has, you know... Well, you've bought the whole block that you live in,
Starting point is 01:03:51 you're in a flat block and there's a lady on every floor. I've got the flat block. Yeah, it's a slide tunnel. Yeah, slide tunnel. That would actually be the most perfect scenario. Buy a flat block, a friend on every floor and then someone that you diddle with every other. Who's on the...
Starting point is 01:04:10 Oh, yeah. For a dittle. I think someone in the penthouse suite. No, you want to be on the penthouse. No, I want to be like really at the bottom. I like being underground or in like a basement. Where are you at the moment? I live at my landlady is loose-handed.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Sorry? What? Sorry, that was supposed to be for sharing that's that sumer. I had like three pieces and they handed it over and you ate the whole thing. Sorry, I thought you when you said we're doing three segments. You meant this at Sumer. Fuck. What was the topic before?
Starting point is 01:04:42 And I was not bragging before. Because, you know, I'm very... Bragging about what? Just any kind of stuff like that. I'm very, like, love shy and very, yes. Do you love me? Huh? One second. One second.
Starting point is 01:04:58 I love collaborating with you. Do you fancy me? Huh? Do you fancy me? Do you think I'm fair? Next question, please. Do you think I'm fair? We haven't even solved.
Starting point is 01:05:07 I'm only human, Helen. We're those big naturals. How could I not? Can I Beautiful milkers Can I quickly say To E Like you've got to go for it
Starting point is 01:05:20 Because it also could be It could be the one It could be you could be like Barack and Michelle Obama They're on the rocks No Yeah How do you know How the fuck
Starting point is 01:05:31 Be on the rocks We're a 25 year old from Soulsbury E Know that their relationships on the rocks Sorry Andrew Just a moment Stop hugging the shore Go for it and be on the rocks
Starting point is 01:05:40 Go set sail discover new lands go for this you can find another place you can find new friends you always go for it yeah life begins on the edge of the comfort zone life begins at 40 and what doesn't it I think that's what people say just to like you know I'm sure I saw that on a birthday card stop biting that lead why are you biting it I get excited I get excited next question please Andrew is there more than one is that what this by the way is this the format of the show that we're just sort of moving into now they're sort of like the format is supposed to that like we introduce the episode we catch up on our week and then we solve list of problems
Starting point is 01:06:16 but i have like such a hard time doing it when katherine's not here but i also think katherine with the invisible whip oh my goodness like what was the last one i did without katherine was like rose johnson and who else was on patrick spicer we didn't do a problem at all i don't think no we didn't um how does this compare tim as like a film promo opportunity compared to like radio six or something like that. Right, in terms of a film promo opportunity, I'd like to. I felt it sort of slips. You know Richard Curtis says this is like his top comedy. He's like, this is the most brilliant little gingerbread style British comedy I've seen in many years. What, Tim's film?
Starting point is 01:06:53 Let him do his film promo for a minute. No, I'm not doing my film promo. I'm explaining how this differs as per Andy's question. Thank you. Maybe listen to what people are saying before you attack me. From an actual promo opportunity. Sorry, Tim. That's right. Well, I think they come in all shapes and sizes. And so some of them might be too dry and then, you know, so it's like a bit boring and then others maybe like too far the other way.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Too wet. Too wet. Yeah, this one is, and this is not a criticism, Helen, this promo opportunity is absolutely sopping wet. Yes. This is an absolute quagmire of a promo. Okay, I've got the script here. I'd love to hear about the,
Starting point is 01:07:32 oh, can you quickly just say about the film? Because I actually, I loved the first 30 minutes. And it's sat on an island. I saw an early rough cut. of the film on a laptop and it was incredible and this guy I'm like he's like at an amazing actor he's very talented he's so charming in it and so kind
Starting point is 01:07:48 and like it's such a different character to the one you know the guy that I know who you see right now it's just brilliant it's insane that the transformation he is a chameleon he is a shapeshifter he is brilliant crazy to ask this 45 minutes in what's the name of the film Wallace Island Wallace and Robert Island is it
Starting point is 01:08:04 yes Dude, I got said it last night at like 11 p.m. I was coming back from a gig. I had to write this thing. You were half-mashed. I was high on a lovely meal. No, I sent it very late. I'd forgotten that that was part of my...
Starting point is 01:08:26 I didn't laugh. Yeah, part of my rationale. But, I mean, I don't mind. Like, I agree. The first half, you know, there's a lot of plodding around. And it's charming enough. It builds, it builds. It builds because in the middle section goes crazy.
Starting point is 01:08:40 Okay, thank you so much to listening to Trustee Huggs this week. We haven't quite finished. We have, oh yeah, sorry, please. Do you mind if we just do four lines from the sitcom? We have two minutes. Yeah. Okay, go. I'm just right on it.
