When I bought my last car, I felt totally overwhelmed.
Is this the right price?
Can I trust this listing?
But this time around, I used car gurus, and honestly, it changed everything.
With over 4 million listings, they've got more options than any other major online automotive marketplace in the U.S.
That means more choice and less pressure.
What really helped me were the unbiased deal ratings.
Car gurus clearly tells you if it's a good deal or not.
And I love the price drop alerts.
I watched a car go from maybe to must buy overnight.
Shopping with Car Gurus gave me confidence, not confusion.
Car Gurus will connect to you with trusted dealerships when you're ready,
making the whole process transparent and hassle-free.
It's car buying, but smarter.
It's no wonder similar web-estimated traffic data shows Car Gurus is the number one most visited car shopping site.

Hello and welcome to episode 200, the final ever episode of Trusty Hogs.
I'm Catherine Bowhart. She's Helen Bower and this has been the podcast where we have discussed
our perfect lives and answered as many of your problems as we could humanly do. That's not true.
We could have done more but we did our best. As you know, we're ramblers.
You're going to give them your problems
And they will solve them
Or maybe they won't
And that's your problem
They'll have guests
And Andrew White on the tech
Oh
It's Helen and Catherine
As the trusty hogs
Trust the trusty hogs
Or maybe not
Helen

I'm prepared a poem.
Well...
I'm so sorry, I really need to sneeze
and I don't want to sneeze over your poem.
Andrew.
Why are you sneezing?
Andrew, do you suddenly have hay fever?
Episode 200.
Andrew just admitted in the extras
that he thinks hay fever was man-made
and that we do suffer,
but only because of big farmer.
It was a mad concession.
It's like he had to acknowledge it exists
but couldn't possibly just accept
the two women might be right.
This was not the episode 200 I was expecting.
Sorry.
read your poem do you still need to sneeze good do you want a lilo and stitch tissue no i'm okay
you sure i've got lilo and stitched tissues someone saw them an azda and gave them to me that's
that scans no i'm ready for your poem i'm okay i read this um i've read this at a funeral once before

It's long, isn't it?
And sweep up the wood
For nothing now
Can ever come to any good
And that
Is, that's just something
I wanted to read to the listeners
I thought you're going to say
In that is something I wrote
That's something
That's something that me in W.H. Auden
have been working on
For this very special occasion.
It's our last episode and I wanted to read a poem.
It's our last episode.
It's weird, huh?
It is weird, but it's nice.
It's weird and it's, that's also what's strange.
It's, yeah, it's like, oh my God, I've been looking, yeah.
You didn't finish it.
It's been looking across the table at you for so long.
It's weird.
My hair used to be straight.
I really loved making this with you so much.
Remember when my hair was straight at the start?
I remember.
And you were wearing this top on the first day?
I know.
So nice.
I found it this morning.
because I was like, I want to, yeah, I want to forecircler.
That's so nice.
I don't know what I was wearing on the first day.
I should have checked.
You're wearing a dress.
That tracks.
But now I have tracksuits and curly hair.
Crazy.
Wow.
My hair's still blonde.
Yeah.
I haven't changed much.
You have.
Maybe mentally.
You've done a lot of therapy.
I did so much therapy.
So much.
Be mad if you hadn't changed.
I'll be sad financially.
You should get a refund.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That'd be tough.
but you're like, hey, so it's like a discount code for the people who are still coming.
Do you feel like therapy is coming to a close with me?
I keep thinking at the end of each session, she's going to be like, okay, Chuck, you're done, fixed.
Why would she do that?
To make room for the next mentally ill person in the southeast of London.
That's so funny that you think it's like a one in one.
Do you not think that she'd just be like, wicked, we can, why would you turn away a paying client?
Because it's time for the next person to,
to get to a nice, nice relationship with themselves.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I've never been,
I've never been broken up with by a therapist.
Right?
But I understand some people do tend,
like they do send them on their way, but.
Of course people get broken up.
Therapists retire.
Yeah.
And therapists go like,
oh no,
I don't think I'm the right one for you.
Yeah.
Definitely heard friends say that.
Okay.
So what does it mean that she hasn't on her?
There's still something very wrong with me.
There's still something wrong with my brain.
But this has been one of the right things
of my brain.
That's nice.
This is something
that I use
like trusty hogs
as a whole
as an example
of something where I was like
I don't know
I don't know
if we should do this
do a podcast
do a podcast
do you remember
because I was like
I was still doing
all wrong with Rosie Jones
and I was like
I don't know
like if I want to do
another podcast
or like
you know
and then it's been
life changing
and now you love to pod
now I fucking
love to pod
in fact
if you're already
feeling sentimental
or emotional
or like there's
going to be a chasm
in your hearts
don't worry
because at the end
you'll hear
about Helen's new
podcast, ready to step into the void. So do not panic and nor should you. And also you can
obviously listen to Catherine Bohart's radio show and go, watch it getting recorded as well. You
might be able to catch the last two. It's now called Too Long Didn't Read. Did I tie it? Because the old
people didn't know. Because let's be honest, the listenership of Radio 4 weren't quite getting TLDR.
So that's exciting. Too Long didn't read is now too long, but you got to read it.
going to be that can't be a clip because the BBC probably wouldn't appreciate me slagging
at all but it's quite funny that their listenerships that old i think radio four's coming back in
i love radio i love getting into the radio i am getting amazing stuff on radio four i fucking love
i fucking love radio for and i love doing that show so much so whatever it takes the BBC
sounds up has stepped up in a big way big way i don't have it but i fucking love it because i get it
to listen to Icklewick and um radio uh was it called synony
was bagging an heiress and everything
and then you get us
all your friends have amazing shows on that
yeah it's great
and you're like I know this through clips
I know through clips but I haven't listened to it
yeah you know what shout out the BBC
there we go I've said it
shout out the BBC shout out Lord Reef
thank you for making it you conservative fuck
all bet they were waiting on that endorsement
and now they have it
do you reckon
yeah I reckon
Andrew yes
will be the making of the public broadcaster
got me problems for us
yes so I've got more important
importantly got any updates because I love updates I have a perfect email to lead us into the
goodbye perhaps so I will save that for down the line okay um you tease I was also I just went back to
look at the Alison Spittle episode one uh on our on our YouTube just to see you know what was
happening there are two pieces of um set decoration that are still in this room whoa it's the material
girl yep and the candle yes perfect absolutely smashed it the dolly part and
Yes. I think Chris Vak gave that to me for my birthday, the boy who I was in love with at school,
who we've had so much about over the years. No way. In year eight. I think he gave that to me for
like my 26th birthday. He was like, oh my God, I want to give you this Dolly Parton candle.
And I was like, are you sure you're gay? Are you sure? And this material girlfriend.
Yeah. Which, which, do you remember what happened in the first episode? It fell off the walls.
It fell off the wall every time. She's had a terrible time when I hook up over the years.
It's lucky she made it alive last week.
She nearly died, got hit on the head, emotional breakdowns.
Like, we have not been good.
She'd vomited one episode.
Jeez.
Way.
Wow.
Maybe it's good that this tyranny is ending for her.
She must be so relieved.
This thing is done.
The threat can stop persisting.
That's okay.
Has she been our most frequent guest?
I think Chloe Petts probably...
Oh, yeah.
That checks out.
That checks out.
Okay.
Tell us what else, Andrew?
The top comment.
on the uh that very first episode one is i haven't been here very long but i'm glad to see the show
has always been unhinged wait i forgot about the comments on are people commenting now on like the
first couple of episodes yeah people going back and listening and then so i'll get very occasionally
i'll get a notification and it'd be like oh oh i can't wait to hear about pancake and i'm like oh oh
that breaks my heart oh god that breaks my heart that is tough to hear yeah but again i'm like
Who thinks they live that long?
Well, Pancake was supposed to live forever.
Yeah.
And Pancake does live forever.
He does.
In the hearts and minds.
In all of our hearts and minds.
Yeah.
What happened to the snails?
Oh yeah.
That was got that whole saga.
There's a question.
Hey, there's a question.
A really good question that actually I've never had a straight answer to.
Wait.
So we find out?
You know what?
Actually, I would love to know.
she does owe an explanation to people. There's a plot hole for me. Whatever happened to the
snail? Wait, we're going to find out. We're going to find out. I've heard, I gave them away,
they ran away to the garden, I forgot them somewhere. I think I've heard all three of those.
Did she eat them? What do you think all about our women are just running around eating stuff?
Actually, yeah, in a lot of weird stuff. She eats a lot of weird stuff. Yeah, but you can't eat. Is she not answering you?
I know, that's a bit harsh, given that she just called me like, here we are.
Marianne.
Are you still emotional?
No.
Yeah, a little bit, because it's still the last episode of the podcast, and that makes me feel very emotional.
And you get some zoo tickets.
Not now.
We'll talk about zoo tickets later.
I have a serious question to ask you.
Is she asking that because we got her zoo tickets?
Yes, sweet dad.
Do you remember what happened to the four snails me and Ted got you?
Yes. Can you tell me honestly what you did to them?
My friend took them and now I don't know where they are.
Which friend?
Sandra.
Okay. And you don't know where they are now?
Well, she said they stopped. They didn't come out of their shallow, wouldn't they?
Right. Yeah.
Do we think they're dead?
Do we think...
And now she won't tell me.
where they are.
Okay.
Okay.
Should we leave it there then?
Yeah, well, you can ask her.
I'm not going to ask her.
I'm scared of her.
She pinched, she pinched
Sunil so hard.
Who's sad?
Well, maybe she was annoyed at him.
She was, in all fairness.
A good point, solid point to be fair.
Okay.
Oh, you look really red.
I'm not going to see you tomorrow.
Mariana, I'm clearly, no, I can't see you tomorrow.
Why not?
Stop saying I'm going to die.
I didn't say you're going to die.
Yeah, that makes me feel like I'm going to die.
You should have someone with you when they put you to sleep.
Yes, I have...
Sometimes they do practices.
You've got to stop telling me that the junior doctors did not practice some people.
They do.
Stop watching BBC News at 10 with Dad.
Can you ask for them taking it?
I mean, why not?
Does anyone have zoo tickets for Marianne?
Yeah, she has this theory that they constantly get and fed ice lollies at the moment at London Zoo.
And she needs...
Okay, well...
Those videos are from 2021, you fucking moron.
Hey, no, no fighting.
Hang up.
We don't know if they're getting ice lollies all the time.
Helen, no more fighting with your sister.
Hang up.
And we'll let you know, Marianne, what anybody says if they have any zoo.
tickets my darling.
Love you. We'll let you know
bye. I've told her
she is not allowed to ask the audience
for anything. They are having
the tigers. Look at the date.
This is from nine weeks ago.
Nine weeks ago.
They're making blood ice lollies for the tigers.
That's cute actually.
I think the girl has a point and also like you say
that she's not allowed to ask them for anything but we
ask them for something every I guess she's not on
the podcast but she's already
She's a very occurring character. There is a very sweet
she gave us pancake
who has given her
like six zoo tickets
over the years
listen she's
chancing her arm
she knows we're on our way out
Can you get zoo tickets?
It's the last kick
of a dying corpse
why not
pretty tough
that she said
you might die in the operation
I'm sorry she said that
a lot of times
she always says
like might be the last chance
to it's like stop enjoying it
and she really thinks
the junior doctor's practice
on bodies
don't
don't
like it gives me anxiety
But if they did, they'd be supervised.
It's not like, they're not like going there and wing it.
Yeah, but why are they, they can't, they can't, not even if you're having surgery,
they can't practice on you for an hour or whatever, can they?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
It seems like they would practice on bodies.
So, um, to answer your question, Catherine, the snails are dead.
Sounds like they're dead.
Did we ever get that attached to them?
Because Helen, she never liked.
She loved curry and donkey.
She didn't like Golemma.
I forgot the names.
I forgot the names too.
Donkey, Helen and Gollum
with the names of the four snails.
Look, I think, I just wanted to know
like, as a plot point, what happened.
So the snails have died.
Is what we're going to.
And we're not, we can't mourn them
because we've got to say goodbye
to trusty hogs today.
We cannot say, you know what,
let's just quickly do it.
Rest in peace to Curry, donkey,
Gollum and baby Helen
who quite frankly never stood a chance.
Marianne never liked snail Helen.
And also, don't call.
one of your snails, Helen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's bad sister moves.
It's not great old rim, but listen, I'm glad that we've acknowledged that they died.
I can see Zofia trying to figure out the snails.
What is the question?
Were they just garden snails?
My brother was supposed to be getting giant African land snails,
but I think he lied to me.
I think I gave him 20 quid for each of them,
and I think he gave me four garden snails because they never grew.
And yes, it does feel bad.
That does feel bad.
And yes, I had to travel up to East London to get them from
his warehouse to take them down to my sister's flat and yes they had to travel with them
oh my gosh and that was on one of the hottest days of the years a couple of years ago oh so in many
ways you might have killed them so i was like 80 pounds out of pocket to give someone four garden
snails and then turned around and went i'm calling that one helen and they will be dead soon yeah
and then i have to go home and go another brilliant day being a good sister fuck my life christ
fuck it
wow that's a lot
okay well
listen
I just think
I reckon stick with the therapy
for a little while
you know what I mean
I reckon a little bit more
why not
I reckon
I'm gonna need more therapy
when this ends
because I really
both of us treat this
and I'll say
the extras particularly
as a therapy session
you're not wrong
you're not wrong
we're gonna have to get
some professionals involved
but for now we're gonna pretend
we're professionals
and for now we're gonna answer
a goddamn problem Andrew
hit us
this is from E
hi E
Dear Hogs, long-time listener, first-time writer here.
I have a problem that I feel is equal parts Helen and Catherine with a dash of Andrew.
Oh my God.
Okay, can I guess what it is?
Sure, yeah.
Why not wild, but sure?
It's a parking ticket outside of a Pilates place where the woman who teaches Pilates is an expert in Irish history.
Wait, where are you?
I'm not, well, I'm Ian.
And, weirdly, she's deciding whether the parking ticket is something she needs to deal with
or should she go for a job interview instead at Shrek world.
You forgot about you at the start didn't you and then...
I did.
Yeah.
All right.
And the improv went bad.
It's okay.
The improv went bad.
It's fun if you just like slow down, no one can even tell that you're definitely still thinking of
the next bit
that's awful
cat
I'm worried
because I've used
alone
that is what you did
I know
ready Andrew
yes
and
okay I didn't
audition for the English
SNL
surprise
did you do what
no I didn't audition
could you imagine
no you did it
Zing Zing Zing
Zing Zing
Zing Zing
to that I say
sometimes you have to look at yourself
in the mirror as a comedian and go
Helen, if you are live
it should not be recorded.
Yeah, I had to have a word with myself
similar to that as well, which is like...
I can be live on stage when it's not recorded
and I can be recorded when it's going to be edited
by a sweet Andrew or an M later.
This is going out live.
Oh, how?
It's a special for R200, the broadcast.
Could you imagine?
I couldn't.
That would take a lot of admin.
No way.
Oh, man.
Come on, Andrew.
tell us.
So he says, I'm a 35-year-old woman who has just realized I'm a big bisexual.
Slay.
Big old bisexual.
Not that it makes much difference, but.
Well, I'm glad you got rid of the old, because 35's not old.
I know, oh, L, big old.
Still no.
No?
No, I don't even like to hint at it.
I like it because it makes me think of old El Paso, and I love those enchilada kits.
Nice, yeah, to be fair, me too.
Such a good group dance.
Okay.
Isn't it, though?
People please are.
likes it. And everyone's like, oh, you get the old El Paso box. It's like, yeah, all the time.
For everything. Okay, I haven't bought it in about a decade, but I remember being a great time.
For everything. For everything. For any occasion. Births, funerals. What's the question?
The thing is, I am very happily married to a lovely man. At the same time, I feel this part
of my identity emerging that is mad attracted to women. There is a part of me that desperately wants
to experience sex and love with a woman by also, pardon me, but I also. Sorry, did you get so
repulsed by the thought of having sex with a woman that you sort of burped Andrew.
That is the best thing.
Sorry.
Andrew what?
Did you just burm out of disgust?
Are you embarrassed?
Are you embarrassed?
I was thinking if I got to the end of that sentence, what if you could jump in and I could,
I could hiccup off mic.
But we're saying hiccup is that, that's what that was.
Are we?
I could retch off mic.
Yes.
I honestly, as someone who's currently a bile expert, that was bile.
That was bile rising in your body.
What it was was grim.
so they're very desperate to experience
a woman and
he wants to have sex with a woman
and is
and I'm fine with that
this is actually
honestly fine you can't
you can't us
I'm fine with it too then
fine you can't us
that's why we're ending the podcast
is because Andrew's turned
humble fowbeck
okay go on
but I also still really fancy
my husband of five years
and have great sex with him
and value our monogamous relationship
a bisexual friend says
I should read the ethical slut
and explore non-monogamy, but that sounds
hell of scary. My therapist has suggested
that being part of a queer community
may help me, but I'm bad at sport
and scared of people. How can I
find my queer community? If I never sleep
with a woman, will I always be a little bit sad?
Please send help. E.
Me?
Me first.
Me first.
If you'd like to.
Yes. Okay.
Obviously I'm not married, but yeah,
Part of me just feel like I'd love to experience sex with a woman.
Like that's something I would be interested in experiencing,
but it's also like I don't want to tick it off like a list of a thing,
but I'm also not married.
What did you think the question was?
So what's,
is it, because it's not, does Helen want to fuck a woman?
Wait, wait, wait, are they asking to fuck me?
I don't think so.
We have had DMs like that, but no, I think this is, is, um.
Have you had DMs asking to sleep with me and Catherine?
um let's let's get into the that certainly the undertone of a few dms yes it's you because i'm not
single people are messaging to yeah you're not single i want we we get those of comments being like
katherine it's hell of sexy here yeah i don't like that's good i think you're gorgeous
because you're gorgeous thoughts on ease problem
wait can you just quickly tell me what's the ethical slide i know what ethical non monogamous
is it a book about EMM?
The ethical thought is about
E&M.
Okay, it's about E&M.
Yes, it's often called
the Polybible by Janet Hardy
and Dossi Eastern.
And according to this post
in R-Dash polyamory on Reddit,
it is slightly problematic
and dated, but some people
think it's still good.
So, you know, I'm not saying
necessarily fully endorsing it.
There's different opinions.
Look, I think if you want to explore your sexuality,
you can explore it and you've got,
sounds like a wonderful, wonderful partner
who you will be able
to discuss these things with and you can figure out your boundaries it's just i think that's the
discussion that's had between the two of you you figure out your boundaries and then do not
push them do not cross them and if you want to push them and cross them and that is another
discussion to be had before they are pushed and crossed right because it sounds like you do want
to explore sexuality and it sounds like you wouldn't ask will i be sad if i never have sex with a woman
if you don't think that you would be sad if you didn't have sex with a woman but it sounds
that you have a partner who deserves to have that be a conversation as well.
So once you set those boundaries don't cross them until the conversation has been re-had.
And if you're struggling, this is me like taking everything I've learned for Catherine of the years.
If you're struggling to have that conversation, the two of you,
then there's people who are experts in this and you can have a session with them.
There's like counselors and stuff, huh, to like about open marriages that are specific for it.
And then you can, well, I know friends who have done like boundary setting meetings with people.
yeah and sort of someone who can guide that conversation without well there's obviously emotion but
yeah is that right i'm not the arbiter right or wrong that's a great answer yeah i'll also say
the opening is not like it's not like oh god i can't close this door again you can um reestablish and
change your boundaries all the time so if you open it to try try things out a little bit and then
you want to go back to your monogamy that is also perfectly fine what do you how do you start do you
reckon? Just like wanking to tith. Oh, interesting. I get a sense. Yeah, I don't think Andrew's the
expert on how you start fucking women. If I may. Like you'd start with just like certain
porn searches, huh? I think they've already gone past that. Could I offer an answer? Please.
I think there's a world where you read a bit non-monogamy and then if it is still of interest
to you, you bring it to your husband. And the nice thing about you and your husband is that it sounds like
you have a really nice relationship,
which means you're coming from a place
of not needing to fix something
or trying to fix something with an extra person.
Also where you are having sex,
so he won't feel like it's some sort of like
criticism or a challenge to him, maybe.
But there's also a world in which you bring it to your husband
and you deeply hurt his feelings
because he might hear it as,
I'm not being enough for you,
or he might just also really only want monogamy,
in which case you essentially tell him
that that's not enough.
enough for you or you or you bring it to your husband and you have to be okay with him saying
no and then you also have to be okay with him knowing that you asked and what that might
it you know imply for him for at least some time I think if you find your queer community
that's interesting that their therapist said finding the queer community might help from my
experience this is 100% anecdotal but also 100% happens 100% of the time if
you find your queer community you will sleep with a woman and probably that will end your
relationship yeah unless you do the pre-bedding unless you do some pre-bedding that happened
with carol and friends huh i just think it's so unlikely that you would go join a queer community
have flirtation with women have interactions with queer women and that would save your need for
sex and love with women as opposed to make it a more accessible be more real and see more likely
that just doesn't seem logical to me um so do with that what you will um i wonder if there's a third
way to go here which seems like for me the only option where you get to both have sex with women
and well not the only option an option where you get both get to have sex with women and you also keep
your marriage in the like very like hypersex loving state that it is which is that potentially
you both date someone together so rather than like open it you add to it and obviously it does
involve opening it but you know what I mean like it rather than it being like that you go off
and both have sex with separate people that you decide that it's something that you're going
to do together um that might limit the kind of person that you get to date it also might limit
how far that relationship can go
or how easy it is to find a person
but that is still an option
I think
yeah I think Helen's right I don't think you're asking the question
will I be sad forever if I don't have sex with women
and now look the best of all worlds here is you go to your husband
I need to explore the side of myself
and then he says go off do it
but like the much more likely scenario is
he says like okay then I'm going to do that
and then you are ultimately
if you're about sleeping with people
and you want to love with the woman,
not just sex with the woman,
that there's a world in which that
because like the premise of
non-monogamy and polyamory
is a good one, right?
This idea that like you could have love
for more than one person
and that we aren't like
singular in our capacity
to give affection or love to people.
However,
there is like you are also introducing more risk.
That those dynamics,
that the dynamic,
the new dynamic won't work
in the way that the
current dynamic does.
Well, that's just, yeah.
So it's just so many more chips to remember, like different birthdays and things, isn't it?
Yes, of course.
The admin wise, God, yeah.
You definitely won't need a hobby or like a community if you open your relationship because
you will be busy.
Like who do you spend Christmas with and like who do you call last when you go to bed
at night and stuff?
And if this, the thought of losing your husband or the thought of it changing your
dynamic or the feeling of all of this makes you go like, oh, actually I don't want to
that, then don't. And if
it awakens
an assurance, an assurance that you'll put it
off for a while, but it ultimately is going to happen, then
that would also track with
everyone I've ever met who's had this dilemma.
Does that always happen? They always, like,
they explore a queer community and then they end up
like falling in love with a woman.
I'm going
purely off my anecdotal
I would say yes.
Yeah. Zafia?
Yes. I get women are fit.
I get it. Like, yeah. But also, it's like,
like it's there's a newness bias as well right like which i think is unfair is like if you think
that this thing has been repressed you've discovered it about yourself you feel like it's off
limits all of that makes it hyper sexy there's a newness bias and also like it's like the new
girl at school sort of a thing but also like access to a course she's cool she's got a different
pencil case yeah and also it's like access to a part of yourself that you didn't know you had access
to and like that's true i don't and also like
relationships with women are
often different to relationships with men
sometimes obviously interpersonally
every relationship is different but it just all
like has a different
I don't know can you come to our live show
and tell us if you fucked yeah I really
would love sorry sorry excuse me
could you come to our live show and tell us if you smashed
yeah but it'd be so sick if you
and your husband want to do that and then you happen
to find a woman who's into you both that'd be wicked
at trusty hogs live
at trusty hogs live we can bring you on stage
is it a good time to plug it now
Well, because this is our final, like, Trust Jokes episode.
Stop saying that.
I'm sorry, but there is technically an epilogue.
There is the Trust Jokes Live, the Clapham Grand,
which I don't know, when we're recording this,
it's still not announced that Trust Jokes is finishing.
So there may be, it may be all fully sold out now,
but if it's not, please do come join us for that big kind of party goodbye.
You think it's fully sold out now? Surely there's loads of tickets left.
I don't know.
There could be a man.
massive sort of rush of people.
Oh, because I hope so.
It's so weird, knowing that we are recording the last episode and they don't even, like,
they don't find out until episode 196, which is next week.
I know.
Andrew said earlier, I think you were on the toil.
Sorry.
I don't know why I said it like that.
We all know what you said like that.
I was in the Louie, yes
The thing is I don't even think I was in the Lee
for what you're about to say, but go on
You really enjoying yourself
And you're really sorry
Thank you, Ron
But wait, what did Andrew say earlier?
Yeah
I'm so sorry
It was a toilet.
And then Andrew, were you not here when Andrews said?
What was he said?
You're all waiting by then.
When Catherine was on the toilet.
Yes, yes.
It was something like about how we haven't,
we're recording the last episode,
but we don't like and but so with us,
we want me to jump in.
We've got no response to episode 196.
It's like we're bracing for a car crash.
But by the time people.
Actually, sorry, an impact.
The news is coming out next Thursday.
Like a big moment.
But we've already walked away from the thing.
We've already walked away from the, I don't want to say crime scene.
It gets worse.
So when people respond.
No, no, I got you.
I was just the car crash analogy was so intense.
It's just like bracing for an impact.
I think we all feel it in our body's like, oh God, they're all going to find out
it's ending.
I feel like we've released, it's more like we've released like one of those little balloons
into the sky and everyone else is going to lock up and see it.
in a minute rather than like a car crash it's more like okay i like katherine's better i'm sorry
is that okay because i really liked yours earlier but now i really don't okay katherine came up with that
on toilet i did i had time to think of it and that were beautiful katherine thank you thank you for
everything you do yeah i feel like everyone's just going to look up and be like oh see you guys
yeah and i'm still so glad we did the last four weeks to be like oh just you know
know it's ending but and again
I just want to stress like I really love
and I hope that people will miss it because otherwise like
what the hell are we doing but I also think like people
will understand the podcast end and that like
they can come and see us live
and that no one's dying but we're not
going to be all
together again it's like when Beth dies
the podcast is Beth
in little women in which case
people knew she's going to die the whole time
and then
oh they did
the sickly one playing the piano
they did right
I, that was foreshadowed.
I've learned that word recently.
We will all be together again.
At the October show, October?
October.
But not in this, not in...
We just won't be...
Why am I trying to make this emotional?
I'm actually forcing it to be emotional at this point.
It is emotional.
We're not going to...
We're not going to...
All the sisters together again.
That's true.
We'll be together. The sisters.
I mean, we're literally...
We're going to have a dinner.
Oh, yeah. We're going to have a dinner, of course.
But like...
You mean the hogies.
Not with, like, they're going to...
But we're not going to record it.
People are going to make, they're going to, we're going to get messages.
I'm assuming.
Imagine if there's absolutely no reaction at all.
I feel like it's an idiot.
But I am assuming.
If the hogs remain unmoved, unmoved by the end.
I feel like we're going to get some very sweet messages and I'm going to,
normally we'd come on the podcast and respond to them, but we can't because by the time we get those messages,
we've, well, quite frankly, packed up everything.
I know it is weird.
I don't want, though, for anyone listening to feel...
Obviously, all chat is going to you, Helen.
Yeah, you can have all of the tat.
Can I have this on my balcony?
You can have whatever you like, my darling.
I want to give a couple of things away maybe at Trusty Hogs Live.
That could be fun.
That's a great idea.
That's a really good idea to give away some of the set.
Yeah.
Oh, I love that.
Yeah.
That's so fun.
And obviously, do not message people.
people who gave them to us.
Don't be like Sophie Hagan.
They gave away a gift.
But maybe we could have a raffle for AKT or someone.
Yeah.
That sounds nice, actually.
I like that.
What do you think?
Yeah, that's a really nice idea.
Let's raffle off some of the set.
I want some of the tariff.
Oh, no, no.
There's some of the stuff here that's very meaningful to us
and lots of gifts that we will treasure.
Yeah, but I'd rather the hogs had it than anybody else.
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
What am I then?
What am I doing to sit in on toilet?
sitting on toil
with no gifts
no
I need something
to remember it
and you can have it
but then maybe we could
also raffle some off
and that would be quite nice
and again is it quite poetic
yeah of course
I want to give some stuff away
but I would love to
I'm going to
I'm going to leave today
with the candle
and the frame
that I came in with
in the first day
that's fair
that's amazing
that's so fair
wearing the same top
well you put them
in your new hands
with the same
nipples.
Yeah.
That's true.
What I don't want though, just because the podcast
is ending is for anyone to feel like they can't
or shouldn't or couldn't
bring like to our shows
Toblerones or Tony's
Tocalone or Champagne or anything.
I don't want you to feel.
Please do.
I just don't want you to feel that you can't.
I will be...
Please remember I'll be having my gallbladder out by then.
But I won't be offended by Toblerones.
That's all I wanted to say is like
personally, would I be offended if you
showed up with the hazelnot toblowerone or the hazelnut, Tony Chuck
Only or a regular Toblerone or Fizz of any kind, would I be mad?
No.
I want to say I wouldn't be mad, but I feel just on behalf of my sister, I would like to say
we are looking for London Zoo tickets.
The Bower Girls are looking for London Zoo tickets.
We're so outrageous to be asking you for more.
Because we would like to watch the Tigers.
Spoiled brats.
Be fed on ice, lolly.
Spoiled brats.
And her sister is not willing to pay 50 pounds for the off chance.
she gets to see a tiger eat and I slowly live.
We are going to have to get used to just being like
regular comics. You don't get gifts every time we show up.
I've spoken to Marianne about this.
But like, no, we haven't spoke to you about it.
About which?
Just being like, you've got to say goodbye to the gifts.
Yeah, we've got to get used to it.
Like she was like, oh, I want Gus from Cinderella
a top with Gus and Cinderella on it.
She got the rat of two pajamas.
And I was like, that you, that was a one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, you have to, you have to say goodbye to that.
Like, I will do my best.
But we no longer have a team of people.
no it's true
a thousand strong team
who were working for you Marian
also on gift reminiscing
and the London Zoo actually
I just remembered and found that
their lovely name Matt
who gifted us the
Rema gifting Rema gifting
Rema gifting
was our Rema gifting section
Matt who gifted us
the London Zoo tickets
and just what a lovely day that was
and if you've not seen it
it's on our Patreon
our whole London Zoo vlog
Thanks Matt
Thank you for all of the tickets
We're never going to get Whishikers ever again
we will
I actually really see
where Marian's coming from now
I would have announced this
Oh we cannot oh no
No it's fine I'll find a way
I knew we were going to feel this at different points
Right now I've got to the beautiful stage of it ending
And now you're in the hell
I'm in the Whittaker's face
Oh no
The Whitaker's peanut butter face specifically
You're also feeling emotional about not looking across the table at me now
Not yet but I know it'll come
Do you need a tissue?
No I'm okay
I spoke to Sam
Campbell
and he was like
Oh my God
have you let him know
You recorded the final episode
And I went
We've recorded us
Saying that the podcast is ending
But we haven't recorded the final episode
And he went
Oh was it awful
Did Catherine cry
And I went no
And he went
But you cried didn't you
And I went yes
And he went
Just a slow silent nod
I was like you piece of shit
We can now reveal
What a bastard
Sam was on his episode
Because he knew
The podcast was
did.
So he kept being like,
I'm,
trust you're going to
live forever.
I don't know what I do
if this podcast
ever ended.
I don't know
what I do to myself
of this podcast ended
and I was like
looking at him like
you stop.
He's of shit.
Stop it right now.
That's not comfortable
for me.
This is uncomfortable.
Sorry,
but that's so.
It was hilarious.
What the fuck?
Are you happy about it?
You listen to it,
you piece of shit.
That's sorry.
That's so funny.
Oh man.
I found it very stressful.
Okay.
It was a long idea.
It was a long edit for you.
He said it, what, like 80 times?
Oh, so much.
Yeah, especially in the extras.
When I bought my last car, I felt totally overwhelmed.

I was just going to say with Patreon and the extras and stuff,
I would have announced how it's going to work to our patrons,
but here on the public feed, I just want to say that's going to stay up.
It's not going to disappear. You can still access it.
At this current point in time, we've not fully worked out.
how that's going to look, whether it's going to be like a single-tier payment
and you can access it for as long as you subscribe
or whether you can buy the whole collections.
But yeah, if you are only just catching up with the podcast
and you're like, fuck, I want to do the extras.
If it's 2048.
There's still an option to buy them.
Still an option to access them and buy them in some way.
Unless one of us has gone, actually, I cannot have that out in the world
because there's a lot of stuff in the extras.
No, Helen, it's too late.
You never know.
Al, we can't be doing that to people who've just joined and listened to all the episodes
are now what the extras.
Happens if I give birth
to the next president
of the world
and they are campaigning.
It'd be probably the first
president of the world, I suppose.
And their mother's podcast is out there.
Like, they can't have that
and who's to say
that I won't give birth
to the future president of the world?
Well, you bring up a good point,
Helen,
there's no way,
that's too much of a jump
because you'll remember...
From podcasting clown
to president of the world.
You'll remember earlier,
earliest podcast version of us
said that the podcast would only end
if I got married
or you gave birth.
Yes.
And I think it's time to tell the audience the truth.
I am married and pregnant.
And I am married to a lovely man with three children and Steve's my world.
Catherine lives in Kent.
Catherine lives in.
If Catherine's my real name.
And Steve loves you.
Yeah.
And he worships those bands.
He worships those birds.
No idea what we're doing here.
He doesn't have.
But yeah.
And I have a.
I have a child on the way
with my husband
Andrew Tate
Oh
Is it a choice?
Okay you know what
I can't improv
I can't improv
I'm trying and I'm sick of trying
That's okay
Everything I say is so deeply upsetting
No we just decided ultimately
No one can wait that long
So the podcast has to end
Can I try again
Can I try again?
No I think the moment's
on what it is time for
final problem of trusty hogs ever
do you want to say I really enjoyed listening to your problems
and maybe not solving them but I hope that
we've helped someone
and remember if we didn't that's your problem as the song goes
is that a song
I'm gonna just wait for you to figure it out
it's our theme June
that's brilliant Catherine
Thank you.
That's brilliant.
Thank you.
Wow.
Thank you.
So this is from B.
Hi, B.
Not C, really.
I'm hoping you're still doing the problem solving
because I have a doozy
I need insistence with
and because it is to do with the hogs,
you are the ones I need to solve it.
Because it's to do with the hogs.
Oh, B, this feels so momentum.
Okay, go on.
For context, I'm a 52-year-old.
Although by the time you hear this,
I'll probably be 53 or 54.
Wow, thank you, B.
Actually, this is from 13 days ago, so we're very on the money.
Okay, B is a 52-year-old?
Non-binary lesbian married with a baby.
Awesome.
If you were to imagine me, think the kind of people Catherine is attracted to.
Yeah.
Big climb, B.
Yeah.
I've never dated anyone older than me.
Oh, no, that's not right.
Then it was one.
Go on.
Anyway, two years ago, I learned how to drive a car because we were planning on having a baby.
And as a result of completing my two years on an N-license,
accent free my wife allowed me to upgrade um stay with me because it's still relevant uh previously i've
been commuting on a motorbike amazing as a result i never had in-car media system and knew nothing about podcasts
i have a job where i travel the length and breadth of island to visit teams of people doing very hard work
and i like to listen to things in the car my first podcast was limerick lady as i'm based in limerick
and friends host it plus it's very good little shout out there for limerick lady shout out limerick lady
then trusty hogs started to come up on my insta and I thought why not give it a try
why bloody not I'm currently on episode 63 and for reference the guinea pig is still alive
the queen is dead and you have just cried about Christmas oh no I'm obsessed with you
I'm probably a mix of Helen in behaviour and Catherine with social justice I think I may have
a crush on you both to the point that my vocabulary has completely changed oh no I now say
Hyundai when I mean exactly
and I say fascinating at random breaks
in the conversation. I love that.
This has developed to the point when my wife is concerned
I might be having an affair.
The problem is this. Fascinating.
What do I do when I catch up on episodes?
I imagine it will take maybe six months at my current rate of consumption
but it could take longer.
When I catch up I'll feel an intense loss and emptiness.
I may be tempted to become a patron and get the additional 200 plus episodes
but once I've listened to them
I will once again be at a loss
please help out my future self
thanks in advance
so a problem from B
for all of the hogs
in this current moment really
what do we do now
I love and hate that so much
fuck
there's so many brilliant podcasts
B so so many
thankfully Alison Spittle
has just started one called
magazine party
you'll love it
thankfully Helen Bauer
has just started one called
Helen's log
you'll love it you could go back and listen to
It's My Party which I made a season of this year
you could check out at ELDR
on BBC Sounds
if you want a deep cut you could always listen to
you'll do
if you want to go like a blast in the past
you can listen to us on many other people's podcasts
we've both done episodes of Off Menu
we've both done many podcasts
do not listen to my off menu that was before I did
binge eating recovery
It's bad I regret all of my choices too
I got diagnosed on that
please do not listen to that
you could also we
we both tour in Ireland
Helen's coming there next year
you need to get some tickets
but as far as like in the car
goes
but these are all things
you can play in the car
true
or you could drive to our live shows
what is your advice
yeah those podcasts are good recommends
and I think
and normal gossip which I will never stop recommending
there we go
and single ladies in your area
with Amy Glad Till and Harry
Hemsley that one I love gorgeous but yeah I don't know I think it is just it's weird that it's
ending because I think we've shared so much of our lives with you and then through that we've
seen a lot of you over the years and like shared in your lives a little bit and yeah it's weird
it's ending and there's people who have been here listen to everything it's like part of their
their week yeah I don't know what to say I think it's so lovely that people
listen to every week and we're part of like how they structure
or like we're just like fun for them in a week
but I think it's also makes it sadder
that it's ending as well
then because of that but I also think it's
that yeah you'll you will find other things
and then you'll slowly
you'll be like oh I remember that time
that I would listen to those two girls screaming
every Thursday I was not well then
and it would just be like a little thing
almost ruin my marriage
and then some of you unfortunately on your deathbeds
you will hear the theme tune in your head
and you'll be like what the fuck oh for fuck
sake.
For fuck sake.
There's your answer, B.
Think of us while you die.
Think of us while you must.
And thank you.
That's a lovely problem.
Okay, well then.
Shall I,
because I've still got the first ever
episode up on YouTube.
Should I read out our first ever
exec producers,
producers list?
Almost all of whom
are still
executive producers,
Simon Moors and Guy Goodman.
My God.
Producers Richard Bicknell,
S.B. Dubbs, L, Richard
Bold, Neil Redmond, Victoria Hutchison, Emma Walton, Karen Bull, Harrow Van Dyke,
Kira Leach, Sadie Cashmore, Anthony Conway.
And they had signed up before we'd even put out an episode.
That is insane.
A massive shout-out to those people who were there at the beginning,
who allowed us to make stuff for people who were just finding it now.
Wow.
Do you have to say goodbye now?
I think it's time.
Do you want to go first, Andrew?
You don't have to.
No, no, I can go first.
Yeah, it's really weird.
feels so it is strange to sort of do this before anyone knows because i feel like if if we could
record differently um that we'd have loads of emails and thank yous to go through and we'd get
very emotional and it'd be sort of a big hurrah but i like that it's this nice intimate sort of
it's very secretive it feels huh yeah it's nice to sort of quietly sink away not sink away that
sounds bad you know what i mean slink slink away
all of your analogies are so dark
you know so there's like a ten car
pile up we're in
yeah we sink
into uh quicksand
and no one knows
till it's too late and we're already
gone um yeah
trusty hogs has been uh mega it's been
uh the reason
I could
uh keep doing comedy full time
coming out of lockdown
uh the reason I
have a house now in
Portsmouth
yeah it's been
you've been there through everything
obviously not just trusty hogs
gigless as well before that
it's weird to
it's impossible to imagine my career
without trusty hogs
not just professionally
but also emotionally
and you know
this sort of weekly check-in
and this friendship that we've
all built over the last
three four years it's
it's been really nice
and
And yeah, I'm struggling for words because I feel like if I go in certain directions, I'll just get emotional.
So I'm just going for very neutral.
The podcast is good.
Your support is appreciated.
Yeah.
Well, all your hard work is incredibly appreciated by not just me and Catherine and M and Zofia and like everyone who's like Alex who's worked me over the years.
But like just, yeah, you put in a lot.
And I think the hogs all appreciate and know how much you do.
Thank you.
It is weird.
Like I do my weekly.
to-do list things
and there's like
Tuesday upload
trusty hogs for the patrons
Wednesday
promote the early access
Thursday
promote the main episode
Friday promote the extras
it's like
you know four five
and then the clips
it's almost every day of my life
for the last three four years
it's going to be so weird
to not have that anymore
it's going to feel very empty
you've done amazing
it's been yeah
it's been life changing
it's been beautiful
I'm so glad we have this archive of our lives.
I will no doubt when the dust is settled,
go back and listen to them all.
Yeah, it's been really, really beautiful.
Thank you so much.
And thank you for supporting my career away from the podcast as well.
That your support in crowds means a lot at the fringe and I'm poor and everything.
You're really good hogs.
We don't tell you that enough, but you guys are really good hogs.
And I love you very much.
And we are not breaking up because of you.
and it is not your fault.
That was lovely, Andrew.
Thank you, Andrew.
Do you want to say anything?
Yes.
The main thing I have to say is that downloading and uploading 200 episodes of massive video and audio files
has absolutely run my laptop into the round.
It's completely destroyed.
Yeah, it's been such a pleasure.
And four years was a long time to be doing something.
Like Andrew said, almost every day.
there's something to be done almost every day.
So it will be very strange
not to be doing it anymore.
Thank you for everything you do.
Yeah, it's so strange.
It's really strange.
I don't want to say it very much
because I'll absolutely hate editing my invoice on the podcast.
But it's been so nice.
I love my nice.
You all say that you always come in with the loveliest attitude
and you're always up for whatever tangent we go on
and no matter how many edit points there are,
you're always like, yeah, no worries.
Well, I've already written that down.
Obviously, we're not keeping that on.
it is my favorite M comment when we go like oh by the way I think in the episode I said something like and it's like yeah obviously that's not going out it's already gone I think I'll use my own judgment with that topic I reckon and we're like yeah please do use your own judgment we have no judgment in this imagine what goes in the episodes and then think what M must have had to edit out just think about that for a second you ever see M out with a laptop do not take that laptop there are things on it okay well well thank you
Thank you M very much.
Yeah, thank you guys for me.
And to Zofia, who has been with us for this last.
Is it year?
We finally got a lesbian in the chair, thank for.
No, this feels very full circle because when you guys first joined us here at Audio
always, it was like one of my first days.
And Trusty Hogs is the first podcast that I was allowed to engineer on my own.
So, yeah, it feels crazy that it's now finishing a year later.
Oh, my God.
you killed it
I'm kidding
we love Zofia
I'm kidding
we love
well Zofia is going to be
on Helen's log
which is very nice
how fun
oh my god amazing
okay so it lives on
the duo live on
this is very exciting
do we now say goodbye
together
I'm happy to go first
no
oh you want to go
you go
okay I mainly want to say
yeah
thank you for listening
thank you for more than listening
thank you so much for caring
it's so still surprising to me that you do
and so affirming and lovely
and it's been so nice to meet you all
I hope that you'll keep introducing yourselves
even the men
I don't mind it, it's nice
not my favourite but ultimately fine
and thank you for listening
you still don't believe they're a manned
I can't fathomish some of them aren't even listening
because their wives made them anyway thank you
for listening I have to echo
Andrew's sentiments which is that like
without a doubt having you extend your support into our live careers has been the best thing about
this podcast for me. You are the best audience members and the most generous and present and
supportive gang that a person could hope would show up at their shows. So I really hope that you'll
continue to because I feel like you've emboldened us all actually as comics because it's like having
teammates in the room, like even if you're going to try something new and fail or say something
exposing and regret it or whatever it might be, it has felt like having a sort of safety pad
while you do something scary. And I hope that you'll stick around for that because it's so
important to us. And I, regardless, I just wanted to say thank you for it. I know it's the reason
I was able to build my last show and I hope it'll be the reason I'm able to build future shows.
Well, that's beautiful, Catherine. And I really
think that often
I know you do all appreciate
them but I do often think that it is
very easy to have
like to not see how much effort
goes into making a podcast and I think
that even Helen and I often don't see
how much goes into making a podcast because
we're ignorant
slats well because
yeah and Andrew
why are we such ignorant slots Catherine
and Andrew and Emma right there is something to do
every day and we don't do that shit
we don't we just text and
have you done this?
That's awful.
And they're like, yes, you don't fog.
I'm sorry.
And sometimes you haven't.
We haven't even checked that you have done it.
Yeah.
And there's so,
so much that goes into making this.
And it is so easy to be us
who come in and tell you about our stupid lives.
But it's much harder to be the people.
You've got a beautiful life and you've made it beautiful.
But there's,
it's much harder to be the people who,
who made it happen.
I still don't know how to do that.
Or how it gets to the internet.
internet and I don't wish to know but I am very grateful to Andrew and M for all of the work they do and they are the reason that it has worked and it wouldn't it literally wouldn't have worked without them so I'm very grateful to them and I'm really excited Helen Bauer to be friends as we have always been and not be business partners and I'm excited to genuinely hear your secrets without some part of my brain
going, do you want to say that out there?
I don't know if you want that detail.
What will Anne think?
Or us actually giving each of the secrets and then being like, oh my God, can we
delete that?
How do we not say that on the podcast, even though we've just spoken about it?
We've just cried and now we can't mess.
Like, oh my God.
It'll be huge.
It's complicated.
It'll be huge.
And I'm very proud of us.
I think we have been incredibly lucky to have the support team that we've had.
We've been incredibly lucky to have the listeners that we've had.
But also, I think that this has been a real reminder to me
that just because the industry or the world doesn't hand you things on a plate
doesn't mean you can't build things that people really love.
And we did that.
Yeah, we did a really good job, huh?
Yeah.
So thanks for supporting us and see you on the road, I hope.
You are really good audience.
You're such good pigs.
Yeah.
I've loved it.
I don't want us to say.
I've really loved it.
And it's been so,
yeah,
it's been so lush.
It has been.
It has been lush and mega.
It's going to be really sad,
not seeing Lou like in this context,
but I know it's a good thing.
And yeah,
that will do,
pig.
A perfect end.
Final word goes to Helen Bauer.
That'll love.
do pigs that'll do
and um yeah
and now I'm doing a podcast
by myself
because you're like eight now
that's awful
are you gonna come to my first day at school
no
can you take me to the gate
there's literally a gate downstairs
no but you got this
you got it
I'll miss you so much
I'll miss you too much
yeah
I just yeah
it's been really special
and yeah
whatever
whatever
I love you
I love you too
we did it
we did it
okay
bye
bye hugs
bye
bye
Through the fog came forth the trusty hogs
Well ye gave them your problems
And then they solved them
Maybe they didn't
That's your problem
They had guests
and Andrew White on the tag.
Yeah, it was Helen and Catherine
as the trusty hawks.
Trust those trusty hawks,
or maybe not.
just heard the ending of hogs, which I'm literally about to record, which is so, so weird.
And this is, this is my new podcast, which is coming next week on the 28th of August, three days
before the 31st of August, linked to 1997 Princess Diana.
We don't have time for this right now.
The podcast is called Helen's Log.
And everyone I've said that too has been like, oh, because you poo.
And it's like, it's nothing to do with that.
It's literally nothing to do with that.
It's a diary.
It's the diary of me
because that was my favourite thing about Hogs
is that we have this perfect living diary
and now I'm doing my own podcast
which is weird and exciting
and I'm going to have on all my friends
and maybe members of my family
which is gross
and then I'm going to tell you
what's happening in the world
politically
or mainly what I had for breakfast and lunch
you can subscribe to it now
Helen's log
there's a link I'm posting on Instagram
right now. Thank you. Good night and God bless. Oh, and if you head over to Helen's Log
right now, you can hear the theme tune. And yeah, it's by Huge Davies. Of course.
