Ready, Andrew? What episode are we on?
35.
56.
Okay.
Hello, welcome to the Trusty Hogg's podcast.
Are you singing?
I went to see Legally Blonde with you and I didn't have a horrible time.
Don't talk about it.
Don't admit anything.
But I think I'm like into musicals now.
So maybe the podcast is a musical.
I hate that.
Okay.
Hello, welcome to episode 35 of Trusty Hogg.
We're going to be singing the whole 36.
36.
I literally just told you that.
Andrew, but like that's so close those numbers.
Yeah, no, that's going to happen every week.
Like five and six.
Yeah, no, every week it goes up just by one.
Somebody is doing your accounts, right?
Please.
Yeah, no.
Yes.
Yeah, thank goodness.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of which, hello, welcome to Tristy Huggs.
We're going to do a podcast about our perfect lives, I guess.
And then help you solve.
Oh, my God.
This is an advert for women not drinking Karlbreu.
Well, sorry.
And then.
You know, somebody tweeted us.
Actually, a lovely producer from a radio producer.
Oh, God.
Find out their name.
But they suggested as a conspiracy theory that perhaps I sped this up in post.
but no, genuinely, it is this fast.
Okay, sorry, I'll try to slow down.
I saw that message.
It's really hard.
I'm sorry.
Okay, well, anyway, I'm trying to speak slowly.
Then we help resolve our listener problems.
The point, I can't even think this slowly.
It's impossible.
How does anybody do that?
Someone who's just had a sip of a coffee.
Hello and welcome to episode 36 of Trusted Hogs.
My name's Helen Bauer.
This slide is Catherine Bohart.
We're going to be talking about our lives,
and then we're going to solve one of your problems,
have an amazing guest.
His name is Ed Knight.
We're both in love.
He's our little prince.
Oh my God, he really is.
You fed him for years.
I fed him for years.
He's my baby boy.
He's such your baby boy.
My baby boy.
Baby boy doesn't call anymore
now that he has a girlfriend,
but he loves his mama still, I think.
Welcome to Trustee Hawks.
Bye.
Through the fog,
step forth the trusty hogs.
Yeah, you're gonna give them your problems
and they will solve them
or maybe they won't
and that's your problem.
They'll have guests
And Andrew White on the tech
Oh, it's Helen and Catherine
And the trusty hogs
Trust the trusty hogs
Or maybe not
Helen, I've had such a successful week
Can I tell you everything?
You can, but I do really want to go
To the musical theatre stuff as well
We absolutely will
But I just want to tell you very fast
Because you'd already done it
But I was so impressive
But I paid my tax bill
And I know you're
did a week ago. I didn't pay it. What? I filed it. Oh. Not paying it until January. Carry on.
What? Why? Because you can pay like 50 quid to say like, I'm aware of it. And then you can deal with
the rest of it next year. We're not doing this. I've spoken to Gemma. I know. I am in the
right. I am in the right. You are in the right. It just for me. And I have an ISA. Anna helped
to buy. For me, I prefer to. They're not the same thing. Yeah. And I still have to help to it. Don't
worry about it. Okay. And, um, but my, for me, I prefer to just pay it straight away because then I
know how much money I over saved for taxes. Turns out, I was way too cautious. And so I have this
money that I got to put back in my, in my like savings, which is exciting. And, um, and I just feel
thrilled because I saved some money accidentally. Listening to this likes you right now.
Okay. I was my, my point is. No one. Andrew. I'm, I know I'm coming in with a shitty attitude
today. Helen. Helen, I accidentally oversaved. That never happened to me. I'm so like, okay, fine.
Fuck you.
I don't have a pension.
I don't have a pension.
I don't have a pension.
It's just exciting to have over-saved one time
rather than be shocked and horrified by a bill.
Fuck you both.
Oh, it's great.
Congratulations.
Wow.
I would have been on your side if you're like,
oh, I've got this kickback money
and I'm going to spend on something cool,
be like, I've got this kickback money,
which I get to send to my other savings account.
Andrew.
Andrew.
I am almost 34 years old.
I don't have a pension.
I don't own property.
I'm not going to get some sort of...
She doesn't have a partner either.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
For anyone, right, okay, everyone, just take a beat.
What happened here is we're recording this a week before you're going to get it.
It's 10 a.m. and usually we start recording at midday.
I'm being such a cunt.
You're not a morning person.
I am not a morning person.
I basically said, hey, guys, I did this one thing that made me feel really good about myself
and you have shat on it.
I'm terrified.
Not only am I boring, Andrew.
Not only am I not financially stable.
Thank you, Helen.
I'm also emotionally lonely and likely to stay that way.
Cool, guys.
Well, good morning.
Glad I had my fucking coffee.
Hey, so today's the Jubilee.
That's something.
Is it today?
When we're reporting, yeah.
Are we going out a week off the Jubilee?
Fine.
Do you think?
Nobody wants to apologize.
I genuinely.
I've said, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I took that apology for colonialism as well as what you did earlier.
Okay, great.
That was in America.
What?
No.
Oh my God.
It was.
It was.
Helen, should we talk about the musical?
That's day on topics you know about.
Oh.
This is the thing.
For anyone listening, we had a little like trusty hogs group trip to go see
Legally Blonde the musical.
Andrew wasn't feeling very well, which is devastating because you're, you're my musical buddy
with me.
I only went because you guys were going.
Like I was like, oh, fine.
It's a fucking podcast trip.
I'll go.
Then he doesn't.
And I'm like, why the fuck am I in this open-air thing getting bitten alive, watching some people sing songs?
And what did you think?
Honestly.
And I want to stress that I loved the movie, so I had a good reference point.
I fucking loved it.
Not the singing per se or the lyrics per se.
But I mean, the Irish song was deeply offensive.
And they rewrote the lyrics to Ireland, you know, the original one by Orphane?
Yeah, they didn't refer to any Irish bagpopes, which made me really sad.
It would still very bad and problematic.
and wrong.
But my point,
and also the Riverdance
didn't even go in formation
is fine.
The point is I...
River danced.
I forgot to tell you that.
Yeah.
Did they, did they?
Who's to say?
They did.
They said they did.
Including dogs.
They said they would.
Two dogs Riverdance.
Okay.
No, the dogs were...
Played by people.
Oh, I don't know that at all.
Actually, it was like,
weirdly camp and fetish.
It was gross.
It was gross, actually.
Yeah, it was bad.
I felt it was a bit.
bit furry-esque for me.
Okay, I was totally
charmed by the entire thing from the beginning.
Number one, we met so many
trusty hogs listeners there.
Oh my God, yeah, that's the thing to say is like,
Catherine arrived, we were like, of course
this is where our listeners gather.
There were two girls out in the front who were great
because like, whenever anything very Helen
would happen, they'd look around to like check
that she was having an amazing time.
And every time she was like, breathing out her mouth,
clapping her hands like a seal and it was a great time.
Yeah, yeah.
I could not believe my luck.
It was, it was madness.
I gave it my steel of approval guys.
I will say, oh my God, I will say this.
The girl who, first of all, the lead was incredible.
It was like, it was such a fabulously camp, like queer experience that I didn't.
Oh, it was gay.
A-F, I loved it.
I loved it.
But I also loved the girl who did the skipping rope routine and sang the whole time.
Brooke Windham, opening of Anne.
Act two whipped into shape.
What the literal fuck?
I couldn't do that if I was especially to breathe at the same time.
You couldn't have done any of the roles.
Neither did I. It's a whole different scale.
They're incredible.
Wow, I suppose. Yeah, that's true.
I want you whipped into shape?
She was amazing.
Come on, girls.
It was amazing.
It's so good.
I was like, how is she not dying?
And then she just rocks up for the next scene
and you're like, that girl needs a light end.
And it's got such a short run for like London, usually musicals
when they come in the West End,
they go there for quite a while and the better
and the longer they run for.
Like, it's amazing.
But because it's Regents Park open air theatre,
they only do short summer seasons.
I love it.
Where they pack in three shows a summer
as well as like little random extras.
So it's only there for like another couple of weeks.
It was amazing.
So you've got to book now and go.
It was so great to see a diverse cast to see to see a black man win,
to see trans women in like joyful places and silly places to see queer people having a good
old smooch.
It was just a great fucking time to see different body types.
Oh my gosh.
And who's outside.
it hadn't been amended as per like I noticed that right in like one of the routines they didn't
cover up the larger women no no no no they sort of allowed them to just wear whatever the
fuck it was yeah yeah it was like this is incredible it was so good there was no fucking like
and also the body suit for the big girl it was like no everybody's wearing this everyone's
wearing it was like fucking glorious I loved it the mini skirt was mini like it was just great I just
loved it but to the point where I was like I was watching the show I was so into it but you know
when you go to see something with a friend who like you're really into it but you want them
like more than because do you remember like i could smell your need i could smell your need i was like we
should take him to go see a show and you went i love andrew but i cannot do it yeah well i was like i'll
i love andrew but i'll ruin it it it won't be fun for him but now i'll be worried but now i think i
look i'm not interested in the like tweed like anything set on a boat
no but i think you could come see frozen the musical what musicals are set on a boat other than
HMS Pinafore?
Oh, that's more of an operetta, really.
Wait, what's HMS Pinafore?
Gilbert and Sullivan.
What's it about?
It's like one of the...
A boat full of apron.
I actually have no idea because I...
Give her a prize.
I have no idea what it's about,
but I went to an old girl school
and there was a year, fourth year,
I skipped it, but you could do,
like there was a big musical that year
done by the whole girls year.
And they always did HMS Pinafore,
inexplicable to me.
or the what to call it the king and I
oh white girls should not have been doing that
just an Irish Catholic all-girls school
doing the king and I
yes it was Andrew come on
I would pay to see that now
it was really really problematic
I appreciate it like an annotation
like the T-shirt and I
I think like that would have been amazing
also well don't are pronouncing that word correctly
either I don't know what
it's like the prime minister yeah
Prime Minister yeah
Oh, the lad with the dog
Yes
I love the Irish
I'm so proud of you
Pog Mahon
Pog Mahon
Damn it
Speaking of which
I'm out gigging with Chloe Pets
Chloe Pets is like
Had a few wines
And so starts being like
Oh yeah Helen and I frequently talk about
How you probably can actually speak Irish
We have never
Oh my God
On my life
We have never
On my life I have never said that
Where the fuck
Right, I am telling you now, right, then look at me honest and true, because then Chloe Pet said to me the other day, she went, oh my God, I wanted to tell you this in person, but I forgot, Catherine said, let's get a hot chalky the other day.
And you, I text you and you went, no, I didn't, she's lying. Did you say it?
I mean, I had said that, but that's not the point.
I am telling you now, I'm sending fucking Chloe a voice note.
I think the point is more that Chloe's a little shister.
That's fucking, and I took her to go see fucking To Kill and Walking Bird with me yesterday.
You're welcome, Chloe.
she asked me first but I was um I was busy so fuck you fucking hell Catherine
you know Chloe listens as well yeah Chloe sorry hi is Helen Bauer we're recording
trusty hogs I have never spoken about Catherine not being able to speak the whatever
Gaelic yeah thank you well go gaelic I would like to deal with this face to face time to
face time you're still on a voice note though Chloe please confirm that I never have and you're
just shit stuff
because otherwise it's going to be a rough hour.
Thank you.
Honestly, I cannot believe that.
I love the idea that Chloe is trying to undermine our friendship
so that they can host the podcast with whoever's left.
Well, they can do it.
I don't give a shit.
I did think it would be me who is left, to be fair.
Do you think you've got more staying power than me?
Yeah, and also like, administratively,
it's probably got to be me, right?
Yeah, technically.
You both go, and it's just Chloe Pets and Alice in Spittles.
They take over the trust.
that's exactly who would replace us
actually I met
that's incredibly rude
that's who would replace it it would be great
no but it's rude that you're like that's what I mean
that's what's rude it's rude it's rude that Andrew's ready
to go with our replacements immediately not that they're
our replacements I mean Chloe's tall as you and
Alison's funnier than me she's just as Irish
more Irish maybe oh my god they're both
funnier than us yeah that's not don't listen to their podcast
hey hey they should do a podcast
hey stud why are we just stop
stud stop stop
Stop.
Stop irshin.
Stop irshin.
Yeah.
Stop there now.
Right.
We've had a break to it.
We shouldn't do the podcast this early is what I'm thinking.
No, I feel like we've really leveled out actually.
Oh yeah?
Great.
I feel that.
Hey, go on.
Number one, Chloe, shit, stare at, I did go see to kill a mocking bird.
Obviously, sorry that you can do it.
I'm sorry, I only invited you 24 hours before.
Yeah.
And then we're shocked.
I couldn't make it.
Like, shocked.
You're like, well, fine then.
I think you wanted to see it because you like the story.
Yeah, but I need more than 18 hours warning.
And people in general do.
Yeah.
And that's something to remember, actually,
just a little bit of trusty hogs advice here.
If you have something in the diary
and you need to have another person there,
invite them early.
Yeah.
People like more than a day's notice.
They do.
Chloe was free.
Because I was waiting in the wings for our podcast to break down
so they've kept the diary clear.
But we'll go again.
Oh my God.
It is so good.
Gwyneth was amazing.
And like, right, so I've, I have read to Kill a Mockingbird,
but I read it so long ago that I could not tell you
each individual thing that happened.
Okay.
Like, I just remember there's an Atticus and a Scout.
Gwyn and the Scout, so I'm fully on board.
Yeah.
But what they're doing in the storyline is Andrew looks disgusted.
What have I done?
It's just the idea that you're like...
I remember the two white characters.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
I'm not proud.
I don't like myself either.
Also, you said, I couldn't tell you every beat in the book
and then he literally only name in the two characters.
Yeah, exactly.
I knew there was a courtroom at some point.
So were you shocked the whole time?
Well, it's unfortunate because it feels very much like an inevitable, like, outcome.
But then the further bits of, I'm not going to give a, like,
for anyone who's like, never read it, but one to the surprise.
Going in helpful.
But it's so good because they like, they do that thing where they jump around the story loads.
And you know, when you're watching something, they jump around and you're like,
Okay, this is clearly very clever for you,
but I've got no idea where we are or what we're doing.
I have to see a play at the Royal Court that did that.
And I was like, where are we?
But what was so good is that Gwyneth's Scout
is like narrating it a bit.
Oh my God.
She comes out and goes,
we are three years ahead from where we were.
But it felt like she was doing it just for me.
Like she was coming out like, Helen, Helen, Helen,
we are now two weeks away from the verdict.
Hey, you don't fuck.
Pay attention.
Hey, hey, Ellen.
Oh, for anyone who doesn't know,
Gwenith is a close friend of us
who is currently playing Scout in the West End.
Oh, it's so cool.
It's so cool.
It's so cool.
I really want to go see.
I can't wait.
I'm so she's on it till November now,
so you've got to go.
I'm hyped.
I also really want to see Prima Fasci,
but I can't get tickets.
Who's that?
It's that one woman play with Jody Comer.
What?
I know.
It's, and it just looks amazing.
What about it's about,
I think it's about a sexual assault case,
trigger warning but I think um but everyone I know who's gone to see it has just said it's the most
phenomenal piece of theater so I would really like to see that too but one woman like a comedy show
no no no no okay it's like an acting one where she is she i think she acts instead of tries to tell
jokes we know one woman shows are basically what we do yeah yeah but we do it with lulls no that's true
yeah yeah stand up comedy one yeah stand up comedy special yeah oh my god do you want to tell people at home about
what you're doing with your old show?
Oh my god,
did we not talk about it last week?
I don't think so, no.
Oh my God.
From Jody Comer to Helen Bowen.
Basically, I am now doing something
that Catherine Bohart has already done,
but Catherine did it so well
that now I'm like, oh, so I could technically do this.
So we remembered an old show
and did it at the Soho Theatre
for a fucking special recording for Amazon Prime.
It took me a week of warm-up shows to remember it though.
One week.
No, but like, okay, but it's also important to say
that that particular show
is literally my autobiography.
So, like, if I didn't remember,
it's like the story of my life.
If I didn't remember it,
I'd be like,
it's like not that hard.
Like, you can do this.
My first show was a mess.
But no, it's good.
Oh, you're first show I got nominated
for the Edinburgh Comedy Award.
It's good, but it's wholly,
like for half the show I think I'm in the Truman show.
Like,
hard to remember.
The whole bit about like this monologue I did at school,
it's insane.
I think the tricky thing about remembering an old show
is also like the temptation when you're drowning
to put a,
new stuff but that's not what you're trying you're trying to recapture this moment it's tricky but
you're going to record it for a special i'm recording my first show for a special on july 18th this isn't
out there yet and i are coming the hogs should know so if i and i know it's a monday it's going to be
embalam in south london and you're on with huge huge davies also doing it and if you have a chance
to put in your diary like recording we need people there to come
come and laugh.
You get to watch both of our shows be recorded.
I'm going.
Andrew's going.
Andrew will be there.
Andrew will be there.
M will be there.
Chloe's not invited anymore.
Chloe's invited, but like.
No.
No.
I'm not.
I'm not dealing with that drama.
What if Chloe brings us both hot chockies?
Hmm.
Yeah.
They're back in.
Yeah.
But that, oh my God, please come to it.
But you know what?
I actually did a run through of it.
Like last week at the Bill Murray.
How to go?
Fine. I really thought it was going to be horrendous
and me constantly going back. Translation for people at home.
If Helen thinks something went fine, she probably did absolutely
amazingly. She's just incredibly hard on herself. So myself and her therapist
know that she... No. This is about giving yourself more compassion.
Oh yeah. Yeah. I just sit in sympathy for myself.
Yeah, or just be like, you've probably got a pause breaks and had a great time. So give over.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah. There she is. That's my girl.
Yes, good seal, good seal.
I actually want to say as well that we, speaking of,
so I did my tour show in...
You love it.
Yeah, I did my tour show in Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh this weekend.
Honestly, some of my favourite shows.
After a bunch of art centres, I have to say,
being back in comedy clubs was joyous.
There were so many hogs there.
And they kept asking me, David, in particular,
one of our producers, whose cup I signed,
was like...
Oh, did you see how I signed it?
Yeah, and I put a big oink on it,
but it was a cross through mine.
but I but he was like so are you thinking of doing any live
trusty hogs and I was like David babe they're on sale
for Edinburgh he meant we're doing it yeah so if you didn't know
if it's not on the Patreon stream or whatever just so you know
we're doing two gigless lives and one trusty hogs lives
all the Thursdays of Edinburgh and Nish Kumar's our guest on
trusty hogs there's not that many tickets you should buy them now
if you're coming to Edinburgh French and gigless won't be like our shows
because that'll be new material and fun guests so
you mustn't feel like you're going to double up.
By which I mean, come to everything.
Who needs other comics when you have us?
In Edinburgh is going to be very much just like people running on,
probably just talking about their week,
like silly jokes, like new material,
and then they'll be plugging their show at the end.
It'll just be silly fun.
And then the whole month, me, Andrew and Catherine,
will be doing our shows.
Yeah, exactly.
Actually, speaking of which,
I will be at Monkey Barrel, at 320 at Monkey Barrel 1.
Doing my show, it's called This Isn't For You.
What are you doing, Helen?
I will be at 540 in Bunker 2 at the Pleasant
courtyard doing my show
Madam Goodter. Yeah.
Andrew. I will be in 6.50
at the Cades doing anti-white brackets
but not a good way.
But not a good way.
But not a gay way. I love that. I am
helped Andrew look at his, look through his photo
shooting. He looks so cute.
Oh my God, can you show me afterwards? I want to see your photo.
He looks like such a little model at the door.
Closed or? Unfortunately, yeah,
closed the whole time.
Unfortunately. There was a shame.
I just thought it was a shame.
No, because you're supposed to take naked photos of yourself when you're younger.
Yeah.
You can look back and go like, on my way.
Trust us.
Oh, really?
I still do it every year.
No, no, no, do it professionally with a photographer.
Yeah, sorry, we didn't mean you're like at-home ones.
You just say, oh, now I'm going to get a couple just as I am.
Yeah.
Just as I am.
Start jumping up and down on the spot.
You're ridiculous.
It's options.
It's options.
I'm wondering if Chloe's, nope.
Where? No reply.
I don't want to deal with the drama.
Wow.
Should we just invite our guest on?
Yeah, let's do it.
He's a great comedian.
We want to talk about the Jubilee with him.
We really want to talk about it.
I mean, this is going to be an interesting take.
I assume I'll agree with it entirely.
Knowing that we're also guessing on what's happening this weekend.
My take, she's dead already and they're going to announce it on my day.
My take, fingers crossed.
No.
No, it's time for her to die, that fucking nonce keeper.
I agree.
Okay, right.
Andrew, what did she say that was untrue?
No, no, it is true.
Where's the lie?
There's no lie.
I'm just thinking about some upcoming commitments.
Where's the lie?
That might have to be edited out.
I don't think so.
No, I think it's absolutely fine.
I don't think so.
I think they're aware that she paid for Andrew's lawsuit.
We pay.
We fucking pay true.
The Andrew's lawsuit.
You know what, Helen, true fucking story.
Let's get Ednaided on here.
I'm celebrating the 25th platinum anniversary of Diana's death.
Cheers.
to that.
Cheers to her being
murdered by the queen.
Oh,
we're going out
for you,
die.
It's at night.
I believe
that's how
we'd want to be
introduced.
I think so too.
Hello,
lovely listeners.
Thank you so
much for
supporting our podcast.
If you're
coming to the
Edinburgh Fringe,
all three of us,
yes,
that's right,
Helen Bauer,
Catherine Bowhart,
Andrew White,
we all have
Edinburgh shows
on in different
venues.
So we're going to
tell you about them.
I'm on a
320 at the
Monkey Barrel. My show is called This Isn't For You. And I would absolutely love to see you there.
I think tickets are like eight quid. So get yourselves down a bucket ticket.
It's a wonderful show. Highly recommends.
Thank you, darling. Me. Catherine. What about it? What about it?
I guess I don't know. I'm at the Pleasance Courtyard. Cute. Bunker 2. No, that's a lie.
No, it is. Bunker 2 at 540. And the show is called Madam Good Tits.
Of course it is. Andrew, go on. Tell us about ye.
I'm at 6.50.
So you could do a full run of us all in one afternoon.
The Trouble.
It's a bit of a tight turn over between you and me, but I reckon we can...
It's doable.
It's a close walk at your scoot on.
Don't run over, Helen.
On Calgate at Just Tonic at the Caves and the show is called Andrew White Brackets, but not in a gay way.
I love it.
I love it.
We'd love that.
Okay.
Ed, are you ready to record?
Can I just say that I am.
First of all, did she just put our cushion on the floor?
Wow.
I have like a weird back so I can't have a cushion.
That's okay.
We'll wait for you to sit down.
You look nice, nice shirt.
Put my headphones away, Helen.
My God.
It's always nice to start with a good energy.
It is.
Can the man sit down while you were being rude.
Ed, nice.
Oh, my God.
Only if you want to.
I don't want to wear him.
Ed, I can I just say, I'm so impressed you got here this early.
Yeah.
I wake up early now.
Who are?
are you a mature boy but you are i say a mature boy but you do also have a plaster on your
face from baby's first shave got cut how are you talk to helen and katherine about how you cut yourself
oh wait have you started yeah yeah mother fuck great how am i sound in am i am i you getting any vocal
right lovely you have a little vocal fry but i think it's just smoking i've quit smoking
what months ago now yeah yeah i'm on the vapes now yeah oh really quickly for the listener what's
It's happened here. It's Catherine and Edd
and seen each other in ages and it's a reunion.
Two years.
Oh, yeah. I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.
I have one sometimes, do you know what I mean?
I think you had one with me last week.
Yeah, I have one with Helen.
The man used to smoke in his bed.
This is huge progress.
It's better than smoking 30 a day.
This is what I...
It's a step in the right direction.
It's good to just have them.
Like, if they're around,
you, I'm so proud of you.
Thank you so much.
I'm proud of me as well.
I mean, honestly, you can tell as well.
Your skin's glowing.
Thank you.
I've got ripped as well.
Oh my god, Chelsea Lowe's golf?
He hasn't.
I haven't done.
Like, do you really think there's muscles under the crap museum t-shirt?
Probably shouldn't snitch.
But when I quit smoking, my mom was like, are you sure?
Because you don't want to put on any more white.
It's like that amazing episode of Kath and Kim.
Yeah.
She could go off and say that to you.
Yeah, it's so funny.
It's like when Kim comes down in her bride's dress and her mom goes, oh my God, you've gone.
Oh my gosh, she's going, why?
I get big on the smiles, Kim!
Oh my God. Keeps it thin.
She did not say that to you.
Yeah, but not in like a...
In a funny way.
I don't think she understood,
but she wasn't like having a dig at me.
She was just like...
Okay, I think you look beautiful.
I think your skin's glowing.
I'm so proud of you for not smoking.
You smell nicer.
And he put up a sofa for me.
I put, I made a sofa for Helen.
I heard.
I didn't ask him to.
I actively actually didn't want him for Neil Patel to be part of it.
Yeah, I don't even think Helen knew I was at her house.
So wait.
I was doing fucking Comcom pod.
right
oh my God
you're like
do it in
so serious now
it's so serious
yeah listen to it
the whole episode
of me going
like Joe if you're watching
what the fuck
yeah
have you not done it
I've done
comcom pod
do it
that's mad
because I've done it
and you've been
actually nominated
for the Edinburgh
award and all I talked
about was how we all
need to talk about
money more often
money money money money money
money money money money
that's all I said
oh I think Stu
really dumb down
comcom pod for me
do you think the queen's
going to do it
for the Jubilee
Ed
This has been a long running gag
I would applaud that
Let's quickly deal with the sofa thing
I would like to say
Thank you to you and Sineal for putting it up
They do it right
Yeah
I sat down on it and leant on something
And the arm shifted into place then
Okay
And you both went oh yeah that was supposed to click in
No no no no no no no
We'd already clicked it in
Well it wasn't
You just clicked it more in
So I clicked it in
Yeah
You know when you do a screw
You know when you do a screw on like a table or something?
You're not supposed to screw it all the way in
because you need to give a wiggle.
Either way, I understand you better now.
Because I get a soap delivered.
I was like, great, I'll do this later.
I go to do a podcast.
I hear Ed and Sineal going,
boom, boom.
No, no.
Like in the living room.
No.
Oh, my God, please don't, don't ruin this.
This is the nicest thing I've ever bought.
Yeah.
Please be careful.
I come out of the recording.
I have to jump over.
All the boxes and feet and feet of boxes,
rubbish, everything.
And they're like, all careful, there might be a screwdriver
or hammer in there somewhere.
Why?
You've clipped them together.
Soneil's got his knifie out.
You know, knifie that he opens boxes with.
We put the knife in between us on.
I hate it.
But knifey was just on the new sofa.
And then they were just sitting on it.
Eat drinking drinks, do whatever they fucking wanted.
Have you sprayed it?
Please tell me you've sprayed it.
It was what?
What are you doing it with?
What are you meant to spray it with?
I need you after this.
No, no, no, no.
No.
Okay. Seriously, after this, I'm going to send you,
you're going to give me your address.
and I'm going to send you a sealant spray
that it's going to mean that you can wipe it off
with water if something gets spilled on it.
I'm serious, those sofas are very easy to protect,
but you have to.
Ed, nice, this is not useful for you.
Hello.
I just want to interject and say that sealant sprays,
all that's all good, boxes on the floor,
whatever Sunil put on YouTube, all important.
None of it is as important
as making sure all the knives are secured
and you know where they are when Helen walks in the room
because Helen kept asking,
can I have knifie?
I'm waving it around.
That feels more important.
important.
I want to fill out the boxes
and Sineal in general
does not let me have knifie.
In general,
knifey is kept away from me.
Every time.
Every single time of it,
every single time I've been around
to your house,
you've found a knife from somewhere
and started waving it around.
Every single time.
I made one casual reference
ages ago being like,
oh, I feel really down.
It makes you really think
about blades, doesn't it?
And then, and then,
all of a sudden,
now, God forbid,
Helen has a knifey.
It begs the question
why you keep going back there.
You love it.
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah, it's really fun, yeah.
Yeah, but also, you know.
He's good mates with St. Neil, so sometimes, you know, there's a two little lad.
Like a mediator between the two of them sometimes.
Yeah, we're in a bad place at the moment, aren't we?
It's so funny.
It's a toxic, what's that?
It's got really bad.
What's happening with Mommy and Daddy?
Actually, I'm going to say this.
You can cut it out if you want, but I watch with my own eyes,
Helen opening all of Sunil's past it.
What?
That's against that all.
All of his, right, oh, God,
and then we had a big fight about it.
Doorbell goes, doorbell goes.
That's against the law.
Doorbell goes.
It's not against the fucking law.
It was a children's book.
It is against the law.
It was a book of patterns from sewing or something.
It is against the law to open somebody else's post.
Like, hear me out.
Hear me out.
I don't tell my dad that.
Basically, also, a mediator.
He sits in the corner,
clapping and laughing, go, kill each other.
I do it.
We should make a reality show.
Yeah, I'm like, I think it's like,
There's a really, there's a format in there somewhere.
So doorbell rings, I go get it.
God forbid a man stand up to get the door.
God forbid.
We're watching YouTube.
It's put together a sofa.
We're not made of, we're not made of energy.
Yeah, you know.
How were you on that?
That was mad.
Poor little baby boy needs a rest.
He's given up smoky.
He's done very well this year.
He was offered calipos and magnums.
Did you have either?
No, didn't have either.
I had lots of Tony's chocolate only chocolate on a coffee.
That's my boy.
Yeah, that was actually from one of the,
uh, quessons as well.
He did, he brought his own quasson.
You've moved to a really,
strange area though. Cost me
10 pounds for a coffee and three quassons.
The fuck? Yeah, crazy. F.C.B.
What? Don't go back there.
That's crazy. The last time I went in there and I was
like, what that? You wanted to have gotten those
crossons from Sainsbury's
and then gotten your coffee made by Helen. I just had the most
stale. I made him a coffee. I made him a coffee.
That's sad. Yeah, you did. Circle back.
So I opened, so the door
and the postman came. It was pouring
rain. None of this explains why you'd have to have
opened it. So he gave me the envelope.
It'd clearly been dropped. And the
envelope was soaking and I could feel it was a book inside.
Right.
And I went, oh, Senil, this is for you.
What is it?
And he was like, it's a book.
And I was like, the envelopes wet.
Like, I should take this out.
And he was like, no, just leave it.
And I was like, I'm going to take it out.
It's a book.
So I opened it and I took it out.
And then they all fucking started screaming at me.
Like, I was some sort of like, asshole.
I started laughing because it didn't play out exactly like that.
What happened was?
I was loving having back check air to you.
What happened was, you.
You did rightly say, listen, there's a book in here.
It's going to get wet.
And still, so I don't think it is because it's got the plastic bubbles on the inside bubble wrap.
Nice.
And then you stared at each other for 20 seconds while you open it.
I love having you here.
This is great.
No, it's funny.
It was funny.
But it has got toxic at home.
It's definitely we're finding it hard to be in the same room with each other.
Do you agree with me that it would all be better if they just fucked?
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Ha ha!
Everybody believes me.
Yeah, everyone does.
Everyone does.
Don't you think they should just have sick?
Whenever I go around there, it feels like I'm in the friend's house.
Yes, the chemistry is off the chain.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Between which friends?
Jerry and Elaine.
That was beautiful.
Yeah, it's sick.
We're struggling with Cudgy Club a little bit.
I think it's because Sunil had the operation and he wouldn't let me.
He had an operation?
Help him.
He wouldn't let you.
He had an operation?
Okay, well, he had an operation.
Once again, I'm going to have to do.
I'm going to have to make an objection,
you're on that, because I've been, I've been...
You may approach?
Yeah, I've been, I've been there before and after the operation,
and Cuddy Club wasn't on the table before it either.
Oh my God.
No, Cardi Club in general has been going very...
Can I just make a point?
Helen tells us every single time Coneal, like,
even like, accidentally offends her,
but she's never told me he was having an actual fucking operation.
It wasn't. He was on local anaesthetic
and he was on his phone reading tweets the whole time.
I had to go on local anesthetic recently.
What for?
Um, two things.
Tooth and bum.
Oh, yeah, bum, yeah.
More bum stuff?
I had to have an opera.
I had to have a mole removed on my ass.
I had to, they, they've got a bit about it now.
I won't do the bit.
It is really funny.
When I went for the operation, they laid me down on my front.
Yeah.
Just before they put the knife in, they kept this, they have to put,
firstly, I've got like a huge tolerance to anesthetic.
So, like, this is enough to take down an elephant or do surgery on,
luckily on an elephant's bum.
Okay.
Do you have a huge tolerance because you got a huge end?
Or because, okay, nice.
It's a massive.
Yeah, it's a big dumper.
And then they kept, as soon as they put the knife at the sergeant started calling me by the wrong name.
Excuse me what?
He's like, so James, like, we're just going to make some more talk for the next to 45 minutes while we do this operation.
I was like, I'm having another man's mole removed.
Oh my gosh.
That is hell.
Yeah, and then I just had to, it was just really weird.
I wasn't like allowed to sit down for a while.
And you didn't keep the mole or anything, did you?
No, I didn't keep it.
You keep this stuff.
Well, I think I had a mole removed ages ago, but I wanted to.
It was so gross.
It wasn't just like a little mole
that was like a big birthmark.
Stop it.
And then like...
Why do they have to remove it?
Just they said it was really fucked up.
They were like,
it's not like immediately dangerous
but just like for safety we can remove it.
Like pre-cancer melanoma sort of thing.
Yeah it doesn't it doesn't like if you had it
if you were born with it nowadays
you'd have it removed at birth and like
they took away your butt mark.
Yeah and now you just have you can just go to like a local clean
it doesn't even have to be at hospital.
It was really weird.
I went for a checkup at my GP
and he just like pull my trousers down
and like like tap my ass.
Yeah, looking good.
Healing well.
Jiggle, wiggle,
it's like my moment when you were
just getting to clap to the one,
I'm gonna, gna, go, gna, go.
It's like, yeah, oh, that's healing up well,
isn't it?
Yeah, thanks, yeah.
What?
It's really cool that, it's so cool
because they stitched it up
and now it's got one of those scars
from a cartoon where it's like a line
with dots on the side.
Can I see it?
No, Helen.
What is wrong with you?
How did you think that was gonna work?
It's fascinated.
I'm very like, I like surgery.
But why did,
it's the Neil
We'll get an operation.
Oh, he didn't.
Like, Varica's vein taken out of his leg.
But apparently the rule is like...
I thought it was because of his infected leg.
No, it's the same leg.
It's the same leg that's a different color
and a different size from the one where he got an infection
and instead of going to the doctor, he poked it with a by-ride.
I listened to that episode of yours.
A couple of years ago.
I went into the toilet, see that.
Oh, yeah.
Ed was one of the party.
Yeah, me and me and Neil are all right when in.
See the leg.
Are you fucking, Sunil?
What's happening?
Your level of intimacy is intense.
No, but Sunil just came.
much to me was like
I've got an infected leg
my legs really fat touched on to see I was like
hell yeah it's just a guy's thing
do you know what I mean Andrew gets
it's just a balance thing
to have somebody pull down their trousers
I don't have to fly a fucking party guys
oh I saw the fucking sickest
thing on my way here oh my god
I saw a guy on the train with big sunglasses on
reading a book called Machia Valley mindset
I was like that's so swag
I was like I want to be this guy
but you tell me he'd like
knocked an old lady out of the chair to sit down
and then take a
her glasses like in the mid it was like he was in the middle of the bank of chairs like like arms on
his knees reading it like really loud to the ground this is amazing I had to like bend down really
loud to see what the book was called it was incredible that's incredible I on my train here
was surrounded by grown women dressed as like I guess like Union Jack ribbon girls
my horse I love them it was there was
woman on the train who had like the biggest bow I'd ever seen in a Union Jack
colour she was wearing a dress that match and all of her children had like
face I think they were like transferencies I hope they weren't permanent tattoos of
Union Jacks in hearts oh my god do you keep a royalist she was telling ever
who is there a difference what did I what did I say I'm not like honest you
can't react that way every time and you're like you're like no it's funny
okay all right nothing Catherine being challenged in anything Andrew I didn't
even challenge I just know I know but like this woman was telling
Everyone they'd come down from Yorkshire.
We get to Green Park where, fucking, Buckingham Palace is,
and they all get off.
And it's like, hordes, hordes of people dressing.
And I was like, obviously just making actual gag noises.
Yeah.
And...
So it's today her throne birthday?
I don't give a fuck.
Tomorrow, I think.
Why do you know?
Because I was in my Google Canada.
This is the fucked up thing.
Your Google calendar puts in the Queen's birthday for you,
puts in the Jubilee for you.
I put that in because I'm going to...
Oh, I had mine taken off, the, like, holidays.
I don't think your birthday was ever
Orr filled on Google Canada for anyone
My birthday, March 25th
You've got to take the holidays off
Because you might accidentally like to kind of get
Oh, I'm busy on that day
But it's just the Queen's birthday
I would never do that
I just read my diary
Yeah same
But also I want the Battle of the Boyne in there
Gamalashka
It's so weird that it says Battle of the Boyne
in the diary, isn't it?
Yeah
Patrick's Day
Brackets Northern Ireland
Okay
I know
So how do you feel?
You excited for the Jubilee weekend?
I saw a woman at Vauxhall Station
going around taking a picture
of every single Union Jack Balloon individually.
Oh my gosh, she's got to remember this day.
She's got to remember this day.
I saw the fucking worst thing ever on the train as well.
I hate this so much.
I've had it a few times.
Wait, I know where you live.
Your train is like three stops to hear.
Yeah, yeah.
That's insane that this much happens.
No, but I know it's something on the train.
Yeah.
And then it's something I've had before,
but I've only really been able to articulate it today.
and how fucking you know when you've got parents and kids
and how obsessed they are with the kids
Oh, you know when there's a family on the train
Yeah, because like we're like we don't have kids
But we know what it's like to have parents
But you know, parents and kids are like
The kids are the centre of the world
And nothing else is going on.
There was this guy on the train today
Who was like wrestling with his daughter.
Hot.
I hope it was his daughter.
Hot.
No, stop it, Helen.
Helen.
Depends how old the daughter is.
She could be 18.
And please finish your story.
Sorry.
And can we please keep incest of the
bad thing while we're talking about the royals go on she was like seven yeah so he was
wrestling with his daughter he kept like like this train stopped and my stop to do this
podcast and he was like standing in front of the violence I was like you stop wrestling with a little
girl for 10 minutes just like an open the door please and then I got off the train and
someone that next doors jumped off with their kids and like spun them around and put
them down right in front of me I'm like well the fuck you I'm like I'm walking here I'm
like get off my life I fucking hate that shit so I'm just like but this is
like the most hollible weekend in Britain.
Don't.
Don't.
I cannot get on a fucking escalator behind people's suitcases anymore.
No.
Because they take, you know the people that get to the bottom of an escalator and they stop?
And they go, where's next?
And it's like, you can't stop here.
This is a constant moving thing of people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The two of you are very inconsiderate.
I would say that...
London's insane the last couple of days.
You've got to admit, have you been out and about?
No, because, but my, I,
I would say my bigger issue is...
What, too many foreigners she had?
German girl says what name?
It's the fucking platinum jubes.
I was out yesterday.
I went to Green Park
and I had to walk into the West End.
And then from the West End,
from Soho, I had to walk to Leicester Square Theatre.
So it was like, also,
Platinum Jubilee weekend.
Guess what this girl's doing?
Supporting Mickey Flanagan.
Like the whole crowd's there in Union Jacks.
And I'm like, she killed Diana.
She did, though.
It's going to be like a fucking...
Alster Paras mark.
Yeah, it's been tricky for me, I won't lie.
But people are so slow.
Everyone wants pictures of every single banner,
but the whole or central line,
I don't know how much is fucking costing us.
We could definitely put some people in homes
that don't have them.
But it's just banners across every street.
Union Jack, Union Jack, Union Jack, and in the middle,
like, happy 70th, Mom.
Or something like that.
Oh, my God.
Barf.
That's so gross.
And she's dead.
You know?
Like, I'm pretty sure they're going to announce her death a Monday.
We'll know by the time this comes out.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
So obviously, everyone likes to joke that the queen's dead.
But in, like...
Have you looked into the facts, though?
The facts are that she's got access to more, like, monkey blood and go-adrenachrome than anyone else on the planet.
We could keep her alive to 150.
What's go-adrenachron?
Just like, you know, I'm sort of making a joke that, like, you know, sort of making a joke.
She gets like vitamins and stuff from animals to keep alive.
Oh my God, please, please, please don't make Ed explain all of his jokes.
Just laugh if you don't understand, okay?
He's a very smart boy.
I didn't get the Ulster reference, but I kept talking.
I like plasma in blood.
You got plasma in blood?
I've got a low red blood cell count.
Okay.
Don't laugh at them.
No.
Yeah, I've got, I have three red blood cells.
Oh my God.
It's really low.
Wait, shouldn't you have like, like three million?
My red blood cell count is like,
128 when you're meant to have like 130 so I've been really milking it I'm like
talking about my girlfriend like yeah I'm so tired I'm just like I've got a lot of
road blood cell she's just like eat a steak you fucking moan back yeah I know about
yeah I you know those like um like you have like a couple of VHSs growing up
we not where it's the story with star so like the way we had one which clearly so my mom
was really good friends with a woman in our hometown who worked for a magazine
for like a mom and baby magazine.
So we would get free stuff
and like test them out.
Is this why you still think you're a baby?
No, I'm four.
Yeah, okay.
I'm four.
Catherine's 12.
No, stop it.
I hate it.
That's so funny.
That's actually another argument me and Senil had recently.
He was like, you're not for.
You're a grown-on.
You're not.
You're really angry at me.
Well.
Poor baby, Edmund.
Senil's got a lock for the inside of his bedroom door.
Don't know.
Sorry.
You know, well, done.
I thought you had a way, I thought he might.
to talk about that.
No, please explain.
No, what was Helen doing?
He locks me out and he locks himself in.
What was Helen doing?
I don't know.
Nothing talking to him.
I don't know.
I just went around.
They showed me the lock and he just went in his room
and locked himself in it.
But also, I would want a lock for when I'm out
because you go in his room when he's not there all the time.
I don't go in his room.
You said several times you have.
Oh, what?
So I'm just about to fight to get this.
Well, that's probably why he's got a lock on the inside of his door then, isn't it?
But I'm trying to convince him that I never have because
I don't think he should lock it
when he's not there.
What was really funny
was he locked me and him inside
and we just waited there for a sec.
And in about five minutes
the handle just starts rattling
but it hurts.
Oh my God,
you're such a stressful person delivering.
I've really perfected the fake walk away
and then come back and just go
meh.
Honestly, no, I'm, you know,
I'm chatting a little rubbish
but it is very fun to go around hell of it.
I believe you.
I love it.
It's so fun.
But it's like living in jackass
Like, it's just constant, like, God knows what's going to happen.
Like, push each other.
I've actually got really into Jackass.
Jackass is so sick.
It's so sick.
I used to just watch clips, but I've never sat down and actually appreciated the film.
As much as I probably would enjoy a Jackass tangent.
I want to know how you know cells.
Oh, my God.
Thank Christ.
Andrew knows what the audience want, and it's not Jackass.
So we had, like, a learning video about science,
and it was about, like, the body.
And all the cells were played by different characters.
and it was like, we're the red blood cell.
Are you talking about Osmosis Jones?
We...
What the fuck you're talking about?
What are the fuck you talking about?
Are we talking about...
Helen, do you want to tell the joke?
No.
Wait, osmosis Jones.
I just thought it was the name of my TV personality.
I didn't know, but you told me to do it.
No, I'm not doing it anymore.
I don't like a funny joke can everyone get, but I don't get.
It's like, oh, like, I'm going to stay with her to be here.
Oh, boy.
And I know.
That's so funny.
Ed, you're the first person to get her to leave.
Hello, we're not.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's so swag.
It's amazing because my son.
You did what I could never do, which is make her feel stupid enough to get it.
That's so sick.
I can't believe, I honestly can't believe that this isn't what it's normally like.
No, no, it's not, truly.
It's really nice to having here.
I like that. That's so cool. That's really cool. That's really swag.
Yeah, everybody loves your adult.
Yeah, I do. They're my favorites.
I like that. It's cool to have a little award. It looks good on the screen.
And what's that candle got on it?
I'm Dolly Parton as Mother Mary.
Oh, lovely stuff.
Yeah. Uh-huh.
Hey, she's back. Does she understand the joke now?
Say it again.
So I'll also set up.
Sales.
You're doing sales.
It was a show and it was.
like about cells inside the body
and we would learn about
your cue and we would learn about
and then you say what you said
I said are you talking about Osmosis Jones
Oh what do you mean the film that came out in 2001
the animated show where he travels around
the body and that's his like detective
work oh I tried I tried to
brief you so much better than that
No
I'm sorry I didn't get the reference I now understand
it was an osmosis joke
It's mad though because you are obsessed we will get back
to sales Andrew I'm sorry you're obsessed with like
Disney films and animated films for children.
Literally, last time I came around to your house, we watched Lion King together.
Again?
How many times can you watch that?
This was the, we spent, we spent, we spent, it was, this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen is watching Helen and Sunil together trying to log into Disney Plus on a smart TV using the microphone, like one letter at a time on the email address.
H-E-L.
And every time, every time that Sunil would go, no, Helen, not like that, it would like write it into the thing.
You've made me watch your favorite film, which is, of course.
Which, um, I've lads.
Osmosis Jones.
Daring Emma Roberts.
Oh, Wild Child, yeah.
Osmosis Jones.
That's a good one.
No, it's Wild Child.
Oh, my God, Sula.
Sweaty.
Upper Lip-a-Li.
That movie is so fucking sick because it was like, you love it so much.
It's flawless.
I watched it with loads of my friends when we were like 15 and I was like this movie like
Raws because Alex.
Pettifer is just like, like...
Gorgeous.
Yeah, but he can't do anything.
He's like a...
He's just like a...
He's the son of the headmistress.
He has a lot going on.
That's Liam Neeson's dead wife.
Do you know that?
I know that, Natasha Richardson.
He has a name.
The mum from parent trap.
Elizabeth James.
I don't know.
I don't know anyone apart from Alex Petter for in that film.
Emma Roberts.
Way more than that.
Sophie Wu is in it as well.
What's the...
Who plays the bully?
She's got as a present.
Yeah, blonde hair.
Her name's Harriet.
Yeah, Harriet, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, that movie rules.
It's so sick because Alex Petterford's just like,
they want to fuck him because he's the only guy in the county, presumably.
And he's just like the most horrible piece of shit, like.
Who are we?
It's just so funny.
It's like a load of, like,
cocked-up American movie producers' idea
of what, like, a British high school movie would be like...
It hurts my head.
It hurts my head.
It's so sick.
We're not allowed chalky after bedtime, silly.
And all that shit.
It's so funny.
Helen, is that where you got your...
your personality
I'm now worried
this is where I've
oh my god
do you reckon
Saneer would want to watch that
with me?
Absolutely
absolutely
Oh no I don't agree
Absolutely
It was really
It's great
love going over there
You do love it
You should watch it
You should watch it together
I think you'd like it
I'm still
I'm working my way
through Disney Plus again
I finished this as us
Oh I haven't finished
No spoiler stop it stop
Stop stop stop stop
Okay we'll talk about
I'm sorry
This is us
Is um tragedy porn
on Amazon
It's Mandy Moore stars
So pretty exciting
a walk to remember?
The Tangled Princess?
Candy?
Are you fucking me?
Candy man.
What?
Are you kidding?
No.
Osmosis Jones.
How do you not know Mandy Moore?
What year were you born?
1995.
I hate when you say that I'm late.
Late 905.
He's my baby.
Mindy Moore.
No.
Was she in The Avengers?
Because then I might know her.
Was she?
No.
I hate you all.
I'm joking.
Maybe if she's been in a TikTok, then I might know who she is.
You know, Tangle the Disney film with Rapunzel.
Yeah.
She's the voice of the princess.
Okay.
There you go.
No, a walk to remember where she has leukemia until they get married at an inexplicably young age
because otherwise her life has no meaning if she isn't tied to a man.
No, have you seen that?
Oh my God, I can't with you.
Have you seen that?
Yeah, have you, she skateboards along on the little drip.
Have you seen that little?
A skate to remember.
He's like a broom to, yeah.
Have you seen that rom-com with Robert Pattinson about 9-11?
No.
No, but it sounds way up my sleep.
All right, so there's this rom-com with Robert Pattinson.
Is it actually a rom-com?
Yes, it's basically like...
Is it really a...
Is it with Michelle Williams?
Remember me?
Remember me, yeah, basically what happens?
I've seen that come up on Netflix.
It's in 9-11.
So it's this couple.
It's almost certainly not calm.
I'm going to give you this...
It's a spoiler.
It's a rom-dram.
Yeah.
It's a rom-dram.
And basically, what happens?
Massive spoiler up for the end, obviously.
But what happens is they sort of...
of get married and it's like a rom-com and it's all fine
and really romantic and just like what you'd expect
from a rom-com except the last shot of
the film is Robert Pattinson in a building
looking out of a window and then it's like hard zooms out
to reveal that he's in one of the towers
and a date flashes up and it says 11 September 2001
and that's the end of the film
it's so sick the first line of the Wikipedia page is
the film received negative reviews and critics
much of the criticism centred on its twist ending
which divided audience
it's like out of nowhere it's like zoom
out it's like turns out he was in the top of his power my god when rom comes trying to do like a
really have you seen um what sweet home alabama no another song sweet home Alabama so it's a film
and this isn't the actual ending they did it oh my god it's my prom date I need you to focus
it's a justice for the real queen it's Reese Witherspoon isn't it Reese Withisbon isn't it
isn't it Reese Withisbonne in Alabama yeah oh my god I'm so sorry I got distracted
I don't know it's a sweet home Alabama
If you watch the film
You won't know this but they film two endings
And you can find the alternative ending online
And the alternative ending is
They return to the big party reception thing
At the house
And he's carrying her
Because she's dead
What?
And he walks back in with Melanie Snooter
Dead and then puts her down
And then it's like a big reveal
Like whee!
But the whole family are like Christ
Has he carried her from New York?
No, no, no, from the, like, you know,
to the...
To Alabama.
From the towers.
It's like hitching on the back of it, like a freight train.
And then it's at 11th of September,
playing the harmonica.
He's sitting on his dead wife,
play the harmonica.
Oh, my God.
That is an amazing choice.
She's got tied up on a bin door
on the end of a stick,
walking down the railroad tracks.
I'm sorry, this is Platinum Jubilee related.
My friend just messaged me.
He's found this on a Facebook group
called Princess Diana.
Keep her memory in life.
in brackets, no trials allowed.
I'm in that group.
Yeah, it's such a good one.
And it's a post from a woman called Joan Myrtle
that says, I will not be celebrating the Platinum Jubilee on Thursday.
Instead, I will be lighting a candle for Lady Diana
and reflecting on the way her life was tragically cut short.
Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, Joan.
Good for you, Joan.
Good for you.
How do you think Diana died, Helen?
The Queen killed her in a car crash.
It was auctioned by the Queen.
Obviously, physically her and Charles weren't there.
Sure.
But it was 100% of the plan.
If they'd be, if they were, they'd be smashed up in a tunnel as well.
It's a thorough operation.
It involved the French police and...
The gendarmerie.
Is that what they call?
Why are the French police in on it?
Why are they?
Because they helped cover it up by immediately trying to blame the paparazzi.
Sure, but why are they helping the British Queen?
Bless you!
Have you heard about the murder of Sophie Tusconde-de-Planteer?
Yes, I have.
It was in Ireland.
Have you heard about Agincourt and Cressie?
Have you heard about 100 years war, Helen?
we're not friends with those guys over there.
What happened?
Oh, my gosh.
This guy called Henry the 5th.
He didn't really want to be taxed for like...
Henry VIII's three times great-grandfather.
No, I don't think they were that they were related.
That was the Wars of the Roses kind of like fucked up the whole life.
Oh, York and Lancaster.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Plantagenet.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's in a book.
It's in that, um...
It's in many books.
Horrible.
No, it's in a way.
Henry the fourth, part one or Henry the Fed.
Henry the Fifth.
I literally just said Henry the best.
Yeah, yeah.
It's also kind of in Henry the fourth part one.
100 years.
I know, I don't know.
I've watched Henry the 6th long.
That's my review.
Our life and brain are fascinating.
But we had a fight with him way back when.
You're like Sherlock Holmes.
You're like, Sherlock Holmes from the TV show.
It's like you're so, so knowledgeable about like a really broad bridge of things.
Like you learn like nothing about other things.
Yeah.
It's really cool.
It's the music in your head like, do, da, da, da, da, da.
Right now it's circle of life and it has been since you're the line.
I feel like the music in your head is like Ramstein.
It's like really heavy
Like, gent metal
Dooh!
Yeah, exactly.
Ed Knight, so not celebrating Jubilee.
No.
No cucumber sandwiches for you.
No cucumber sandwiches for me.
How is your comedy going?
It's going.
Where can people see you?
I'll plug it at the end.
Is it the end?
No, it's not the end.
Oh, right, yeah, I'll plug it at the end.
That's what I was thinking.
Yeah, I was like, what the hell?
It was like, I'm done.
It was actually my way of saying that I, Ed's comedy is some of my favorite to watch.
He's very smart and very funny, but also manages to, like, mirror,
somehow manages to merge, like, societal commentary with, like, the grossest stupid and stuff.
Hell yeah.
And it's very good.
It's very clever.
You should check them out.
Well, I had a really, as we all did, a really weird pandemic.
Yeah.
I was like, like, you know, I was gigging in that last, that latter bit of 2020 in between all the big lockdowns and stuff.
but then afterwards when we were legally allowed to do it
but cases were really high
I didn't do much of it because I was like
when I don't want to have asthma
I don't want to get bad COVID
no vaccines and shit
I was worried about my family and all that shit
I'm just trying to get back into it
Oh my God is the funeral of your grandfather though
Obviously I really said that your grandfather died so funny
So yeah also the last sort of six months of like
That's an incredibly callous way of asking what I think is the question
which tells the funny story about how your granddad died
No no he died sad
But funeral funny
yeah so um he lived funny too he lived was a pretty funny guy so it was sort of spent the latter half of
of uh of 2021 basically looking after him died very quickly and then that's one of the other reasons
of i haven't really been doing much in the last because i've been clearing out as flat and all that
yeah it's tough as funeral a priest is like a family friend and he's like really funny you can
just say it was an irish funeral so yeah so basically he came around for drinks with my family
came around for drinks with my family before um before the night before and just got like
hammered with all of us he gave me he gave me this chain with the with the
blessed mother on it and a rosary for a megaguri classic and next day at the funeral
it's just like you know you got the coffin there with all the like tokens and
shit on it all of everyone's full of Irish people crying and he sort of gets up and
gets a megaphone out starts shouting at the coffin the priest does yeah he was
in the graveyard no in the in the chapel why was the mic not working no he didn't have a
mic he got a megaphone and started saying shouting at the coffin because he's like
heard Kenny was hard
hearing in this life
and he was so I started
It's a bit
It's a bit
It's a bit
He started shouting at the coffin
That is fucking incredible
If you see it
If you see the Holy Mother up there
Say hello from me Ken
And he got like
He had like a palace shirt
With a picture of the Virgin Mary on it
For a sponsor
Shut up
And then I had to get up and give the
I was like
I was like crying laughing
In the peers
I was like me and my girl's hands
I was like laughing so much
And then I had to get up
A prop coming
Exactly it was like being
You know on the other
like the only like straight stand-up
at like an alternative comedy.
Kind of music comedy.
Yeah, yeah, it was exactly like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're following burlesque and you're like,
oh my god.
So I went up and did the eulogy,
did a few gags at the start.
Me and him had a great shot.
It was great.
It was my first gig back, really.
It wasn't, I didn't have a fun church.
I'm so jealous you had like, I mean,
it's just such a strong move, isn't it?
At the beginning of a megaphone and be like,
can you hear me and run?
He was fucking amazing.
It was so, it was so, it's not like, you know,
he talked to me about it beforehand.
He was like, do you think this would be like a...
Yeah, no, I love...
I'm on board with funny funeral.
And I was like, hell, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, he would...
Kenny would love it and he was just so sick, you know?
Also, like, funerals are so, like, dour, especially in the middle of a band, I'm like...
Irish ones aren't, though.
They're just not, like...
The room was very dout.
The chapel, very dour, indeed.
But before and afterwards was very, like...
Paul Burns' funeral was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
Really?
I mean...
Yeah.
My agent lent in to me after his sister's eulogy and said, what's her name?
What's she do for a living?
I was like, you're not signing the sister
over his coffin.
Like, chill out.
Oh my God, could you imagine?
That would be so funny.
But honestly, Hannah had a point.
Trish fucking smashed it.
Crushed it.
Crushed it.
Crushed it.
And Paul would have been so pleased.
It was so funny.
Like, but you're back to gigging now?
I guess, yeah.
Fucking sick.
Yeah, I did some fun show.
Do you feel differently about comedy post-pandemic?
Absolutely.
Tell me how.
Sure.
I mean, it all went away.
Like, like, I lost, like, all of my work for 20,
I was doing this really fun TV show
I was going to go out to Melbourne for a month
and I was going out to Amsterdam for like two or three weeks
to just like have a short residency at Tumblr
and all this really fun shit
I was planning to go out to the States and do some shows
it all got cancelled on literally the same afternoon
in a phone course I remember that afternoon
we all had that call and then it happened again sort of at the start of 2020
at the start of like 21 yeah I even had some at the start of 22 as well
right in like January when everyone came back
and we were still in the big winter spike and all that stuff
And, you know, I didn't get paid for loads of shit at the start of the pandemic because lots of, you know, lots of, like, comedy companies regrettably don't, like, keep your wages aside until they pay you.
They're just like, maybe we can, you know, that habit to everyone.
And so I was like, well, it's gone now.
Didn't do any of it apart from a few online shows.
Thank you, gigless.
You're well, good.
Or, like, for ages.
And it's nice to be back doing shows just for the love of doing them.
Right.
A lot of the gigs I'm doing now, it's not like, I was so, like, concerned about, um,
how i came across at every single one and every like every every every gig i don't feel like i'm either
building up towards something or i'm trying to impress someone in the crowd instead of just having fun at the
show and also my health was dog shit before the pandemic i was like i was like working really hard
and i thought it was okay because the career was going good yeah and i was like
and now i'm healthier and it's nice to you know like i've got a girlfriend now it's nice to
have some of my weekends and evenings yeah yeah time to watch like lion king with me
It's diversifying shit.
Ed successfully got a relationship going during the pandemic.
I think it's because of the pandemic.
I got a relationship.
It's no secret that the relationship flourished
at the same time that all stand-up comedy went away.
But we didn't get a relationship and Catherine had a breaker.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
Nothing.
But no, it's just like, in fact,
like when we went out for our first drink,
I was meant to be in Belfast to filming a documentary.
And it was only because that got cancelled
that we were able to go out for our first day.
So mad.
It's bad.
I'd take it all over again, obviously
It'd be a difficult choice, but
You would take everybody else's hardship for...
Absolutely, five million dead, yeah, absolutely.
For some coochie, hell yeah.
Yeah, fuck, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't know me if you think I'm not,
I'm not taking five million dead for some pussy.
Oh, yeah.
I fucking love your honesty.
Do you not clip that?
Yeah, please clip that shit.
No, do you want to quit that?
No, that's our podcast canceled.
Oh my, and then cut that last bit.
Do you know what's great is I'm going to leave the first bit in
and people are going to think, oh, that was a lot to leave in.
And then I'm going to cut what Helen said?
And people are going to be like, what did Helen say?
I know.
It didn't get cut.
That's funny.
That's crazy.
It's called a topper.
But also, your family works in the industry.
So it must have been a really weird time.
Yeah, it was weird.
It was like, yeah.
When I lost my water.
Oh, my God.
Have mine.
Have mine.
Just, thank you.
Like, Ed was literally answering a question.
All my family are.
freelance yeah like that's all right no like uh it was tough my mom is a stage manager and she works
on like um a really good one yeah pantos and plays and stuff so like pantos season was like uh she
does like the same panto every year goes away and stays there that was obviously really tough
because it's like there were lock there's lockdowns while you're there and and cast dropping out
and everyone's being COVID and obviously it's really tough doing it with stand-up as well i mean i remember
February 2020 i was doing shows i did show at the lester square theater in the big room
And it was like sold out, but only like a core of the audience came
because it was the canary down the mind for COVID.
It was the first thing a lot of people.
Absolutely.
I remember that shows in like beginning of March from 20th end of February
when it was like the early days when it was like sort of almost like a joke like
oh, bump elbows because we were so unfamiliar with the idea of it.
Yeah.
And it was like, oh, this will pass or like some people are going like, no, no, this is, we're fucked.
Well, this is the thing as well, even now it's tough.
Like I was shout to my friend last night who runs a show and it's really tough
not only because it's summer, but because people just aren't.
booking for comedy shows until like an hour before these days.
Because they're like, are they going to get covered?
Am I going to get covered?
Is they going to get bored?
So the good thing about the last couple of years, career-wise,
has been, it's very, it gives you a lot of perspective.
You realise that there's not actually like one way to do everything.
Yeah.
Totally true.
Momentum and stuff is all a myth.
There's no like, there's no set way of doing comedy because it's such an ad hoc industry.
Do you know what I mean?
Everyone who's at the top has got there through such a different route.
Exactly.
No one else can copy or copy.
Exactly.
But also.
It's been really fun to just do more like acting and writing and stuff.
That is a little bit more stable during a pandemic for many reasons.
I do think there's an obsession with propulsion in comedy where like you've got to be
on to the next, on to the next, onto the next, on to the next, or you'll forget how to do it.
Or people will forget about you.
There's, you got to be doing things constantly.
Yeah.
And then it's like you realize we all took two years off.
None of us forgot how to do it.
We could probably, I could probably occasionally take a week.
I'm really bad with taking days off.
Um, and I would say I have, I would say I've hopped back on the marriage.
Mary go around very fast and willingly
and probably do you need to have a thing about
some perspective because I don't think I...
You should take it off and go to the Dam Crab Museum.
The Dam Crab Museum.
This is the thing I'm thinking.
Like this week, this is...
I've been asked to do three podcasts of friends this week.
This is...
And it's pretty fun.
Three?
Yeah, they all come along at once, don't they?
Just like...
Oh, my God.
Just like girls.
Doing Red and Bobby tomorrow.
Oh, I love the year.
Nice.
I did birthday girls on Tuesday.
Oh, we love their birthday, girl.
Yeah, they're so good.
They were so funny.
They were so funny.
They were so funny.
They're on our podcast now.
Those guys, if you want a podcast, those guys are so funny.
We've already plugged on this birthday girl's house party.
It's so good.
I feel like Ed just told us about some other woman's tits while he's inside us.
But yeah, it's just like, even this week where I've got a lot of stuff on, I'm seeing a lot of friends, doing a lot of fun stuff.
And even though there's been a two-year break and lots of people have died and it's like an awful time.
And I'm still back.
doing the career and I'm still
I like I've like you said
I'm thankful that I've been able to
write it out because I'm a lot of people who
didn't want to or didn't or couldn't
or whatever and I'm still
this week like God am I doing enough like what's
going on? Oh I haven't done anything for like a day
what's going on you know it's like the whole
job went away for two years I'm still doing it
you know yeah but it is designed
I think to make us feel insecure in a way
absolutely because it's all
it's all it's all it's so heavily
individualized that the only thing
can really trust.
So hard not to compare us off to others.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think I'm doing well,
but then Sineal came over the day
and he bought a laminator for fun
and I was like, I don't have a laminator.
Oh, I have a laminator?
Does everyone have a laminator?
Yeah.
Do you have a laminator?
No, they don't.
Because who uses paper anymore?
Also, you can't put your hand through it.
It's got to be something flat.
Well, obviously everyone knows that.
So it's like, why?
Yeah, but you know those slip folders
with the binders that you get from school.
Yeah.
Put one, your hand on one of those.
Yeah.
That's so safe.
So fucking amazing.
Okay, you guys found common ground.
I'm really happy for you.
Yeah.
No, but I use my farm.
I use my phone.
What for?
For just like reading stuff and writing stuff.
That's real cool.
My phone has an app that's connected to my laminator.
What?
Sorry, what?
And my sticker maker.
Why?
Okay, no, they might.
Why?
You put a sticker on the phone that says fun.
Every time I make the mistake of being like,
oh, yeah, I'm with Catherine.
And then she takes her that one step further.
I'm like, oh, never mind.
Why do you have like an app that?
Sorry, Ed.
I was going to tell you that I brought Andrew on tour
to do some of my opening.
Very cool.
Yeah, and he was like,
wait a little you see my car, it's so clean.
One, he had to get it valeted for it to be that clean.
Two, it wasn't even that clean.
He eats in his car.
I like eating car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, I got a hand to his car the other day.
I don't have to see other comedians cars
to appreciate how clean my car is.
I didn't know.
Wait, bullshit.
No, yeah.
Absolutely.
I didn't tell you this.
I was in Andrew's car the other day
and he went sorry about the wet smell.
Because we've been to Thorpe Park
and all our clothes were wet from the...
It was damp.
It was and I was like...
You guys went to Thor Park together?
No, Helen didn't.
No, I went to therapy instead.
No, it was days later.
No, no, it was the same day.
Yeah, you should.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Therapy's a scam.
Therapy's a scam.
Therapy's a scam.
Yeah, it's a little fucking scam
just gonna get in your head.
You're right?
Yeah, you just like slag off your loved ones
and find out who's an arseal
and who's trauma.
Do I mean?
Just do that on your own.
Also, also, if you're on nemesis, Inferno,
it's like, it's better than therapy,
because in therapy, you don't have the option to kill yourself.
I tried to tell her.
I chose therapy.
I chose therapy.
I'm fucking mad for you.
It either cures you or halfway three
can be like, no, not for me.
Just jump off.
I love nemesis.
Wow.
Just like life.
Isn't that a beautiful man?
You know what sad is then the week after I got a text
from Huge Davies being like me and Andy Field
are going to go thought park tomorrow.
Do you want to come?
Oh my God, I was so sad.
I can't do this either.
I had to miss it.
I had two things that, so in that day,
That day, I had an afternoon meeting and a gig, both got pulled on the day.
So I could have gone to Thorpe Park.
We could have all gone to Thorpe Park.
So I've been to Thorpe Park with Hughes before, though.
I don't want to go to any of those places.
Have you never been to Thor Park?
I think I maybe was made go as a child.
Oh, I had to, um, uh, I had to be made to go as a child.
Like in the way that you get dragged to places like that and like Lego Land,
even though you don't want to and you'd rather read your book at home.
Oh my God, I forget about question.
Ed, I know that you think therapy is a scam, but so do our listeners.
and that's where they send us their problems instead.
Oh, great. Yeah, do we answer questions on this?
Oh, my God, I'm going to tell you. Sorry.
So, you remember ages ago, a person wrote in about the transphobic boss they had in their internship.
Well, he came to my gig in Edinburgh, no, Glasgow, with his sister.
And really appreciated our help and support and actually got out of the job, which was amazing.
But also, we took a photo together, and they are ginger and, as you know, I am.
So we all like siblings, which is amazing.
amazing and let me just find the picture we look so cute but more importantly um our i guess our advice
actually helped a person so maybe we should you know well done that's really cool the problem it's
usually my advice that's really good i'm sure it is definitely not we got our ticto comment um you can follow us on ticto by
at trusty hogs said at trusty hobs yeah at trusty hugs and ticot um one of our problems recently went viral
well not viral like it got a lot of views uh and somebody commented you going i love this podcast such good advice on one
and Helen on the other.
That's awful.
That's so bad.
This sounds like a not,
this sounds good.
This sounds like you're helping people
with actual problems.
Like transfer a bit boss and stuff like that.
Yeah,
no,
people actually look properly.
Given the tone of the podcast,
it's a remarkable
how serious the people
will go with their problems.
Yeah, agreed.
Catherine,
let's hear the problem.
I like to read old,
I like to read old like agony on questions
and questions on Quora.
Okay, great.
Come on.
I'm sorry, Andrew,
I'm now aware of the time.
I feel like we should be bashing through this.
Oh my goodness, Helen, you've taken charge.
Thank you.
Catherine's taken too long.
I am very old and it's hard to use my phone.
Well, I found this one which...
Shut up!
This question was like, can a 15-year-old white female
join the Crips?
It was so sick.
It was so sick.
That's pretty.
Well, it's funny.
We've got the exact same problem through.
Yay!
No.
So trust talks at gmail.com
if you want to send us your problems.
This is from S.
Hi, S.
S says, hi, Trustee Hoggs.
I'm a 24-year-old girl, gay, living in Sheffield.
I dated this girl I really liked for two dates, became assessed, it got intense, reshagged, then she ghosted me.
I relate, S, I feel you.
I still think about her, me too, S.
I've also recently been looking for a new job because I really don't like my current one as it's homeworking and depressing.
So two separate problems, which unfortunately collide in this final paragraph.
Uh-oh.
I found a job that I really want to go for.
it's the perfect match for me, a dream opportunity.
But the girl I got with is the recruiter for the role
and worked at the company, brackets Sheffield is small.
Should I go for the opportunity and warn her
or should I not bother and save myself for some embarrassment
or go for the opportunity and not warn her?
What should I do? Thanks, S.
The last one, for sure.
Wow, straight in there, why?
Fantastic. End of show. Thank you. I have to plug yourself.
You think don't go for the job, which you didn't say?
No, no, go for the job and don't want her.
So we can't go through your logic?
Because then you're like, because you're like, oh, I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed, two days, I'm obsessed, got ghosted.
The absolute worst look is to be like, oh, like, you've got to look like you're not bothered at all.
Oh, I didn't even recognize your name.
Bottom level, let's just clear this up.
I didn't even recognize you.
I think it looks mad or not to say.
It's just no big deal.
It's such a not a big deal for me.
It's just such not a big deal.
I didn't even notice your other recruiter.
Yeah, I guess I want the job.
Do you know what I mean?
You just got to play it, cool.
Okay, that's an option.
Number one, you have to go for the dog.
You want to do it.
Yeah, obviously, that's it's mad to not like, yeah.
But I'm with you, because after two dates, you got obsessed.
I hear you, I feel you, it's such a good luck.
Dido white flag, I will go down with this ship too.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Love, Ed.
What's the title white flag?
Oh my god, he was born in 1995, just move on.
She's from that Eminem song.
She's from that Eminem song.
Which Eminem song?
The one with Elton's on.
Which Eminemone song, the one without John.
It was with Dido and then he was accused of being homophobic,
so he redid it without one John instead of Dido.
Is everyone homophobic?
So now he's just sexist.
Eminem is a little bit problematic, guys.
Guys, I've got some bad news about Eminem.
He's cancelled.
What does he do?
Oh.
Oh, just get left to.
He tended to be from a trailer park,
but he was actually from a house next to a trailer park.
Oh, poverty.
like Hitler did.
What?
High up on the list
of Hitler's poibles.
Say what you like about Hitler, but I've got some
juicy stuff on that guy.
It's an open secret
in the industry.
I think I'm with Ed,
okay? You went on two days. You got
obsessed. If you then messed him, we're like,
hey, actually, now I'm saying this out loud,
I think, just say, oh my God, hey,
I'm going for this job. You're the
recruiter. How mad is that?
and see you at the interview
No, don't say that I do.
This is what makes the show so hard to edit
is you do all your thinking on mic
What you
What you
No, you're both wrong, sorry, you're both wrong
This is crazy
Ed's pretending like he doesn't recognize her name
You're like, what up, like see you at the interview or whatever
Both terrible
It's a professional environment
What you need to do
Is go for the job obviously because you want it
But approach it in a way that reassures her
That if she brings you in for an interview
You will be professional in that context
So this is your first chance of being professional and normal in a message.
So you send a short, and I'm talking very short message that says,
hello, I have noticed that you're the recruiter and work at this company for a job that would be really perfect for me.
I wanted to let you know in advance.
I'm applying because I didn't want you to be surprised on the day or think that it had anything else to do with,
I had anything to do with anything other than professional ambition.
I hope I'll see you in the process.
Best of luck.
Hope you're well.
No.
End.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no.
I hope you're well after two dates is insane.
You've got to help you die or something.
No.
That's like, you know, you've got to be like...
It's in a relationship.
We're not.
Thank you.
I think we should be listening to this.
Thank you.
I've had like a trillion jobs as well.
So listen, here's what you do.
You just don't say anything.
How many did you get fired from him?
None.
I actually got a commend...
I found a commendation from when I worked at the Oval
recently.
A little card they sent me home with
that said it's a very good worker.
Oh, work experience, right?
No.
You actually worked at the Oval?
You actually worked at the Oval in the ticket office,
in the shop and in the main office.
Also, you keep saying I'm not in a relationship,
but actually I have to tell you afterwards
that maybe I am.
Again?
Sorry, help.
Since when? We hung out like a couple of days ago.
How is this helpful to ask?
Oh, sorry.
I'm just saying I have, also, I think profession...
You've got a fucking problem.
I know, I know.
We'll talk about it next week.
Mike is so sick. Can I take this home?
No.
Okay.
So, yeah, I think you're just...
The professionalism comes through
and you show up on the day
and just be like,
just do the professional interview.
You don't want him to think
that you're currying favor by texting
before, or that you're only going, the worst
case scenario, obviously, that you're only going there to see them
again, and you don't even want the job. But I think it appears that
way when you don't message. I think you just need to say, hello,
I just want to let you know, I'll be going for this. I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable.
But if you message, and
just because they're a recruiter at the company, doesn't necessarily mean
they're going to be there at the interview.
No, it doesn't. So if you message, and then you don't run into them,
I've got it. I've got it. Sorry,
to cut across you. But when you walk in,
just pretend you don't even recognize it.
And then they're like, what's wrong with you?
You say I actually was like I was actually hit by a bus two weeks ago and it gave me amnesia and brain damage
A good fake yeah also a superpower that makes me really good at this job like if you want to like if you want to be like if you want to work in a warehouse if this is a job interview for a warehouse be like I got hit by bus and it gave me amnesia and brain damage also made me forklift certified and they'll be like and you can be like did you not see that on my sheet that's you I'm going to get you fired wow okay no es that's really good just make
A short message says, hey, I realize that you're the recruited for this job and you work at this company.
So I just want to let you know, I am applying.
But it's because I think the job would be really great for me.
And I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable.
You have to pretend that you're dead in front of them and see what they do.
See how they react.
No.
Like what you do in front of your cat or your dog?
I'm sorry, I want to help you, but you're in a relationship again.
Yeah, what the hell?
We're going to have to cover this in another episode.
We're out of time.
Okay.
