Hello, welcome to trusty hogs, episode four, Helen.
New Mafia.
Hi guys, Andrew here.
I wasn't actually in the studio for this episode,
and it is not episode four, it is episode five.
So I wasn't on hand to correct that.
But don't worry, Catherine and Helen barely even mention
that it's episode four for the rest of the introduction.
So you shouldn't even notice.
You're wearing the jumper that you were in our lovely promo show.
For any YouTube watches, I am.
sitting next to a picture of myself wearing this jumper but after I've had professional hair
and makeup. So I look really, I mean, I still look manic, but banging. Which one are we
saying you look back? Are you looking banging today or there? There, are you serious? You
think this is banging today? Oh no, I was just checking which one you thought you were banging in.
This for me just sort of like, this is sexy casual. I'd say as my vibe today. Yeah. Yeah. I always
think that about a heavy niche in purple. I think sexy casual. I feel like heavy.
Heavy-knit and purple is my calling card.
I love that for you.
Good.
Like, Wen and Dow, heavy-knit purple.
And you look, I mean, similar.
You've got the same color lips.
Yeah, I just look like a morose widow, which is pretty much my entire vibe.
I like that for you, though.
Thank you so much.
It's episode four.
We've already gone downhill.
It's already like, what's the point?
This is Trustee Hogg.
What's even the point in life?
Hey, no.
This is Trustee Hogg.
Why are we here?
We're not beat show.
We're going to talk about our weeks.
We're going to help people with their problems.
We're going to ask the big questions.
we're going to figure out
not only why the earth is flat,
but what's underneath it?
Could you imagine if that was the whole chat?
Just ask me like, but what's underneath?
Stand.
That's why I'm put my money on.
We don't think that it's flat.
And also, this is a podcast
where we talk about our weeks
and more importantly
where we ask you to trust us
with your problems
and then when you do,
we will revel in them.
I mean, help you solve them.
It's called trusty hugs
because we are reliable
and also disgusting.
Big like.
We're little pigs.
Biggie picky.
Little pigs.
But we're in.
eager to be your friends
and we're smarter than
we seem. So this is
episode four. Yay! You said episode
four so many times. Episode four? It's episode
four. I don't know if you know that. That comes after three
before five. Yeah. Four. Oh well
we're really filling the time. Thank you. It's
a week of Halloween.
Through the fog
step forth the
trusty hogs.
Yeah. You're gonna give
you 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
Hello Helen Bauer
Happy Halloween
How are you? Are you excited for Halloween?
I am so excited for Halloween
Even though I never really do anything for it
Same, I never do anything for her
But I absolutely love it
I love them. I wish I lived somewhere
where you could do, like, where there was more trick-or-treating.
I mean, not me. I wouldn't go trick-or-treating. I realize I'm too old.
But I mean, I wish more...
But do you ever go trick-or-threaten?
There's no sensible way. There's no appropriate way to say this.
I wish more children came to my house.
I just mean like, I love the vibe, the community vibe of that.
And my parents have it, and I wish I had it.
Do they have it then? Do you guys do it when you were younger?
Oh, yeah, yeah. Did you not go trick-or-tree?
No, never.
Oh, I grew up in a housing estate where everyone went to everybody's house.
Some people did it in our town.
but my mum wouldn't less do it because
I think it started because we were like
going to church every weekend at this point
which feels weird that I'm on the religious
side of this. Wait, you didn't go trick-or-treating
because of God? No, I think
what happened is and my mum's church
Halloween isn't during Lent. Something said
something was said about how it
scares old people in the town
and then for some reason
we weren't allowed to go trick-or-treating
for that reason. I have
no idea but that was the rules.
So we'd go to like a neighbour's house
and bob for apples, like in the olden days.
Yeah, sure.
But we wouldn't go around asking for sweets.
Why does it have to do with mass?
Is it just that you heard all the old people rumours there?
I think so.
I think she heard them and then that was like a rule at home.
That's absurd.
No, we, so we have an equivalent thing where fireworks are illegal in Ireland
because they scare dogs.
Is it like that?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Well, like fully illegal all year round?
Yeah, it's illegal.
Yeah, people still get them in from Northern Ireland.
I have to say, they must get them out.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People get them in.
Nobody cares about dogs in Ireland, but apartfully, no, we do.
No, the only thing we did, so we did Halloween, we'd have, like, dinner at ours or, like, at our neighbor's house, and we'd have, like, fanta, because it's orange, like pumpkins.
Oh, wow, that is a stretch.
It's, it's pushing what Halloween could be.
Did you do pumpkin carving?
Maybe.
It's weird.
I don't really, like...
Okay, I feel like I should tell you that you're talking to, like, my mother loves a holiday.
But that's the thing.
I think you've got one of those families that like really go for.
Like we decorated for Christmas five days before Christmas.
Wow, that's sacrilegious.
We would decorate for Halloween.
I remember as a kid I would cover the entire hallway with black bin liners.
So the entire hall would become a dark room.
And then with we'd paint with glow in the dark paint like skeletons.
We did pumpkin carving.
We used to empty out a huge pumpkin and my mom would make pumpkin soup,
but bake the actual pumpkin out of empty.
Shut up.
serve it out of the pumpkin for a barbecue.
Everyone would have a barbecue at the front
so people would come trick-or-treating
but we'd also give like hot dogs and burgers to the adults.
I'm sure it's not a health and safety
ideal situation but we did it.
And we loved Halloween.
Like we do bobbing for apples.
We do that weird one where the apple spins around on the string.
What's that called?
You have to bite it with what your hands is right behind.
I don't know, but I remember thinking that was incredibly unsanitary
and I didn't want to do it after other people.
I always wanted to go first.
Yeah.
In the same way that I think I was the only time.
child who would go through her bag and be like, these were not sealed upon receiving them.
A fun kid. A fun kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I will be giving those to the group.
And yeah, so Halloween was big.
And would you do costumes to go? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Memorable ones? Oh, I'd say not necessarily great choice.
I know, I was definitely.
Daddy's little slut.
A Native American. I was probably, I was child. But yeah, I'd say I was.
I was also definitely like a fortune teller of vague heritage.
Wow, okay.
Yeah, maybe they shouldn't go in the podcast.
No, I'm loving this.
Hey, you're being honest, it's fine.
It wasn't okay, I'm sure it wasn't.
It's not okay, but it's fine.
But I was like four.
Yeah.
I wouldn't say you were picking the costume knowing what you were doing.
I wasn't picking the costume, no.
And then as I got older.
Your mom's going to get canceled.
Yeah, that's crazy.
She's so canceled.
I was also a nurse.
I don't know if that's allowed.
I think that's still allowed.
Yeah, Irish people are nurses.
And yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what about you?
What did you dress as?
Nothing.
I mean, I would have like a witch's hat or something.
What?
And my sister would have a witch's hat.
And that would pretty much be it.
That's so sad.
I know.
It feels sad now I'm saying it.
Did you watch Halloween movie?
I've taken that into adult life because I still just, I'm bad at dressing up.
Like the amount of times I've been like, I got a Halloween party in.
Okay, I'm going to get dressed up for this.
And then I just draw on like a cat nose on my face.
I'm like, I'm done.
Wow.
that shows no respect for your head. No respect. I once through a Halloween party as a teenager
and I went as a French maid. Like, and I thought I looked fire. But it was just a black dress
with a white apron. And I was like, I've crushed it. That's insane. No, well, a 14 year old,
so a child's body for Sam, a woman's body for me. She was a busty teenage French maid.
Let's not, let's not confuse my ears. Let's not confuse. I am, I did dress as a cat and then got really, really
attached to a specific black velvet
cat suit that I had when I probably
initially was six or seven.
Jesus. But I didn't, I kept wanting
to be a cat because I loved that costume
well into an age where
it didn't fit me anymore. And also it's like worn
around out the crotch. So you're just sort of
like a real pussy cat. A super pussy cat. Yeah yeah
yeah. Yeah. It'd have to stay hunched
in it, you know, like so that I could
in character. Yeah, exactly. And
it was pretty tense and
yeah, I loved Halloween. It was great and it was
such a big deal in our head. But then do you do Guy Fawkes as well? Because that's the thing.
There's like two celebrations in a row. I never understood Guy Fawkes until I came to this country.
As in I didn't understand, we don't have like a bonfire night. We just do Halloween.
See, Bonfire night, we did. Like we would be the house that would do the fireworks. We'd get
Catherine Wheels, which now I get where they came from since meeting you, which is nice.
They're not, what are? They're definitely, they're called Catherine Wheels with a C.
Yeah, I don't think it's after me. There's definitely a connection there. A hundred percent.
And we would do, we'd burn a Guy Fawks, we'd stuff it.
Sorry, what?
But I remember this holiday so specifically because I got my first Beanie Baby on one of our Bonfire nights.
It was a leopard called Freckles.
Well, that's, Ned, that's rude.
How?
No, I'm joking.
It was so good.
I got it from Fleet Toys, which is a toy shop and Fleet, which was run exclusively by women who hated children.
Oh, I love that.
I love that as a toy shop energy.
Should have looked so cute.
Like, from the outside, it's like Fleet Toys and, like, toys all in the window.
go in, you've got to go up a tiny staircase to see everything upstairs, like, Sylvainian families
and stuff, like, the whole vibe. And there would always be two women downstairs being like,
don't touch anything if you're not going to buy it. And it was like so mean. But like you, all
you want to do is go there, particularly when Beanie Babies came out. Because this is before like W.H. Smith
had the Beanie babies. You know what I mean? So we're not going to go to the service station
every time. We want a Beanie baby baby. So you've got to go there. And then it's, it ruins the whole
vibe, you know? Yeah. When somebody's not, we're not supporting you in your Beanie Baby
journey that I got freckles and I couldn't be apart from her of course like she had to be on my
persons but then there's fire and we're building it and my big brother think it'd be really funny to
like stuff our guy fawks with freckles and for me no she's not a political baby she's not a political
baby but I don't even know if guy fawks is political you just get your dad's you don't know if
guy fawks you fill it with I do guy fawks is the man who tried to blow up parliament
On the 5th of November.
It's really hard,
so I always get that confused with the 11th,
which is end of World War I.
Wow.
The 11th of the 11th, right?
A lot of things are holding a lot of nights in your mind.
A lot of things happen around Halloween and the war.
And people think it's a coincidence as well.
I know, she's gone, but she's just as beautiful as she is.
Halloween and then the war ends.
I know.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I don't think so.
Listen, there's no way that, why am I getting in?
Not for me.
Why am I facilitating this nonsense?
And then you stuff it and then you burn it on a fire and you'll go,
Yay!
Did you actually bring your dad's jeans?
Dad's jeans.
Didn't he needs them?
No, well, he works in sewage,
so we'd get the ones that have the most,
the most shit on them.
Oh God, so your guy folks stank.
The shittiest pet.
But the whole house stunk.
When the man works in sewage,
you live in the house that shit built.
Literally.
So we'd get the most pooey things we could find.
And usually my mom was like, those ones.
Oh, she knew.
She had a band.
Because he's a shitty man as far as there's like poo on the outside.
He's also striping him up, you know?
This is, that's more detail than I ever wanted to make.
Well, skid marks are in pants, stripes.
No, no, I got it.
I got it.
Okay, yeah, you got it.
Okay, cool.
He's, he striped up towels.
He's like gross.
Lee, what?
No, he doesn't.
No, he doesn't.
That's not true.
He's vile.
He's so violent.
I respect him, but he's so disgusting.
He's such a pooy man.
No way that's true.
He wipes his bum.
So people wash their buns.
Have you never heard of people who stripe up towels?
Like, they come out of a shower.
Lucas, can you back me up on this really quickly?
Lucas is here instead of Andrew this week because Andrew's still sick.
Andrew's sick.
Lucas, have you ever heard of someone striping up a towel?
Thank you.
Fuck you.
Thank you.
I think Lucas was just raised in a decent home.
I don't think that's a thing, Helen.
Wow.
People wipe their bones.
And then you burn your pooey guy forks.
I'm sorry, just to rewind.
And then Natalie Portman made a film about it.
That's not.
Is it?
V for Vendetta is about Guy Fawks
The V-R isn't written in stripes
Oh sorry, just to go back
If you come out of the shower
Could you imagine if the V was poo striped?
But just to go back
If you have washed yourself in the shower
Why would you have any poo left on you?
I think some people
Don't clean their assholes
They don't
How could you avoid?
I clean my asshole
This is hell
I ask the question
But actually now I really really
Some people aren't that thorough
a cleaner.
Okay, so Halloween.
You've done house sheds before.
Have you ever like been in a house share
and someone just doesn't have like shower gel or soap?
And they always seem to shower but they're only in for like 30 seconds
and then they're out.
Okay.
So they're using yours.
But like people who like are in the bathroom for like 30 seconds and they come out and
they're wet but you're like but did you clean?
Did you wash yourself?
Yeah.
Did you want or did you just stand underwater?
Yeah.
Because it's so different.
It's very different.
You're right.
You're right.
I don't think everyone.
washes their asshole.
Yeah, but I would like to have thought
that they'd have wiped enough
so that that wouldn't be an issue
but where I was?
People stripe up towels.
A someone who worked in a hotel
they get striped.
That's harrowing.
You know how sometimes I, yeah,
I'm an equal.
Stop trying to say to change a subject.
I was trying to say that I'm an equal
opportunities employer when it comes to dating
but then occasionally I hear a story better man
and I think, nope, no, no.
But I'm saying women have the worst assholes too.
Oh my God, will you stop this?
Okay, so Halloween.
I'm not saying it's just a dude thing.
Wait a second, can I just check?
So have you never been to anybody else's house to trick or treat?
No.
Even when you hung out with your friends or cousins?
But we don't think we did it.
Wow, you've really missed a trick, man.
I know, I know, because it's just going around and getting sweets, isn't it?
You'd have loved it.
I know I would have done.
Baby Helen would have been in her element.
Oh, mate, don't do this to me.
You bring on the doorbell asking for attention.
They come out, you're in costume.
You scream at them for more attention and things.
They give you the things.
stop you say nothing
you just run screaming to the next house
you don't have to thank them
and then you just do it all over again
all the night and then you just gorge unsweet
that's the our town you'd have had to have walked
to like one house every road that would have been
decorated for it as like a you can definitely
knock there oh do you know what I mean
we knocked on all 374 house stores I'd say
in the estate that just wasn't an option
we would have also had to like we'd have got like
six seven houses
oh do you look it's not good for it
but we're not good for it but
We do have a bonfire night thing in the town as well.
We're really big on no free sweets but burning things.
That is the northeast Hampshire vibe.
But your bonfire night now to my mind is just like a pop a poo perj.
And that's like...
Okay, I'm now realizing it might not sound as fun as it was.
Yeah.
But fire.
I guess.
Fire.
I guess.
That's fun.
Hey, we had like local teens on Halloween would go around and collect wood and then set fire on like public property.
Are you serious?
Oh yeah, is that the same?
Is that it?
That's awful.
Yeah, but then all the dads would feel so purposeful
because they'd be like...
Yeah, yeah.
Get away out of that!
And that would be like a whole...
I just used the fire extinguish for the first time.
Yeah, like the dads felt like proper, like lad, lads.
Yeah, so that was fine.
But I actually want to learn about Guy Fawkes.
Do you know anything about it?
About the gunpowder plot?
That's what it is, the gunpowder plot.
Remember, remember the 5th of November
gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason, something.
It's a whole thing.
Yeah, I mean, basically, Guy Fawkes.
Is it linked to the troubles?
It's not.
Was a member of a group of English Catholics
who was involved in the gunpowder plot.
Because the parliament were Protestants.
No?
Sure.
I'm trying to think about exactly how best to...
Yeah, because he converted to Catholicism.
and then he went to fight
Why?
Then he went to fight
Oh my God
Tell it to me like a teen drama
Then he went
Okay so then he went to fight for Spain
What?
Catholicism and left
Yeah
And then he was called
Guido Fox there right
Or something like that
Guido for?
Yeah
When he was fighting for Spain
That's cute
He should have stuck with that
And then
He came back to England
With Thomas Winter
Winter
And then
Like Anna Winter
Yeah, exactly like the lady from Vogue
And then he introduced him to Robert Catesby
who planned to assassinate King James I'm
and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne
And then
I know this, James I first was the first Scottish king
He took over after Elizabeth because she didn't have any kids
Great, and then Foxx...
Even though she 100% dead
The Virgin Queen, okay
I think we'd have known if she was pregnant and gave...
She had babies. I don't think she just had...
They didn't have paparazzi back then
She had kids.
You think she had secret pregnancies
at the entire...
A hundred and no way.
She couldn't have stayed out of sight.
I have it on good authority
that she fucked Shakespeare.
Oh,
it's suggested in the film Shakespeare in love.
Oh, well then.
How could I possibly question you?
I feel like it is.
I feel like Joseph Fines and Judy Dent have sexual tension
that you cannot historically deny.
Okay.
So there was a...
They leased an undercroft basically
in the House of Lords
and he was put...
Fox was put in charge of that,
of the gunpowder that they stockpiled there.
You can just rent a room there?
Yeah, I think so.
If you're plotting to kill everyone, you are allowed to do that, yeah.
And then there was anonymous letter sent to search Westminster Palace during the early hours of the 5th of November,
and they found Fox Guard and the explosives.
Oh, you'd be so good, wouldn't you?
Absolutely devastating, especially because he was then tortured and eventually confessed to wanting to blow up the House of Lords.
This is the thing.
Confess immediately.
Yeah, you would have skipped to the torture.
If you're going to confess, you might well do it early.
Always.
But then immediately before his execution on the 31st of January, he, he,
fell, folks fell from the scaffold
where he was to be hanged and broke his neck,
thus avoiding the agony of being hanged, drawn
and quartered. Wait,
he fell
in... Well, indeed.
He then became
synonymous with the gunpowder plot, the failure of which
has been commemorated in the UK.
Wait, I don't know this, so he jumped off
where he was supposed to be hung,
drawn and quartered,
and just broke his neck, so we didn't have to go through
the whole thing.
Well, they were kept in the Star Chamber before
were being taken to Westminster Hall where they were displayed on a purpose-built scaffold.
And the king and his close family...
Not bar they could get the scaffolders on the same day, is it?
Ain't? Couldn't do that now. Couldn't do that now.
So he pleaded not guilty despite his apparent...
I feel like that was just for us. Like, Catherine's really into the history of it.
And I'm like, could you imagine this scaffolders just showing up being like, all right, what's he done?
Helen, you want a teen drama. Listen to this.
Tell me.
Listen to this. This is good. So the king and his close family.
watched in secret, watching in secret
were among the spectators as the Lord's Commission's
read out the list of charges. He then,
by the way, pleads, not guilty, despite
obvious guilt.
And then he,
after he's pled guilty, the jury
found them all guilty, obviously,
and pronounced some of them guilty,
or pronounced them guilty of high treason.
And then,
it was determined that each of the condemned
would be drawn backwards to his
death by a horse, his head near the ground.
They were to be put to death halfway,
between heaven and earth as unworthy of both.
Their genitals would be cut off
and burnt before their eyes
and their bowels and hearts removed.
They would then be decapitated
and dismembered parts of their bodies would be displayed
so that they might become prey for the fowls of the air.
Whoa, my God.
That is intense.
Is any of this in that Natalie Portman film?
That's got nothing to do with it.
No, it's linked.
I feel like the main character
is Guido Ford
Oh my God, you're
absurd. That's insane.
Who comes up with this?
Who came up with the torture of
your? It's intense, right? The torture of
your was mad. Fawkes was
the last to stand on the scaffold. He asked
for forgiveness of the king and state while keeping up
his crosses and idol ceremonies, i.e.
Catholic practices.
And then weakened by torture and aided by
the hangman, Fox began to climb the ladder to the
noose, but either through jumping to his death
or climbing too high so the rope was
correctly said, he managed to avoid the agony
of the latter part of his execution by breaking his
neck. I'm glad
he did that. No one needs to go through that long, painful
death. And then why the fuck
am I using my dad's shitty trousers?
To celebrate
that. I don't want to be part of
this. I don't know. Are you celebrating
the fact that they caught the treasoner?
Like the
I don't think we can deny
it was a celebration because we'd eat food.
The adults would get drunk.
But are you celebrating the attempt on the
House of Lords or the disruption
of the plot. I assume that the disruption of the
plot because it's a British celebration and you all love the
House of Lords and the Monarche. But we don't in our house.
Well, when I was growing up, my mum
had a protest chair in the car just in case
she stumbled across one and she could join in.
Wow. She loved it. She loves
an argument. Maybe you guys are just celebrating
the attempt. Oh my God.
Which I actually, that's
pretty intense. What is your favorite
torture of your? Like if you
had to go through one, I'm going to come to you in a minute,
Lucas, with your favorite torture of your.
What would be your choice?
So I'm just saying I'm thinking about Halloween,
like being like waterboarding for apples.
Don't do that.
Oh my God.
Like bobbing feels like a thing they used to do for witches.
It just feels all a bit dark all of a sudden.
Can you believe this holiday about death is actually a bit too dark for me?
No, but I do have a great impression of a witch doing a wank.
Please.
But anyone who doesn't watch on YouTube, this is your opportunity to do it.
Okay, please.
There is actually a photo of me doing this whilst eating home.
which is really unfortunate
I would like to see that photo
please. It's just huge Davies looking at me
and I'm like, right so this is the impression
Can the photo be the promo material for this episode?
100%.
Okay so basically it was an idea I had ages ago
to make a comedy porn film
which is based
or as far as I got was three witches
around a cauldron and they all come into it
which is like the secret ingredient
is like female ejaculate
and then how they would ejaculate
and how they would ejaculate
that says so much about you
but I'm not even sure what I did pitch it to a couple of people.
And then my agent was like, we're not,
we don't pitch that anymore.
And I was like, oh, okay.
Oh, you were in general meetings being like,
so the female ejaculate is the special ingredient.
Going into channel four being like, spare with me.
Porn, comedy, witches.
Any more questions?
No.
And then I would leave them with this impression.
It's a wonder that you're not on television.
Which is a witch?
Just, I'd say like, we're like within 60 seconds of coming.
some just pre-come.
Okay.
And she goes,
which I think is sick.
Did you not feel that?
Like that for me.
And it's mad because I've seen the crucible like four times.
And nay, do they do that in it.
Never.
And for me, a witch is a sexual object.
Oh, sweet Jesus.
Oh my God.
Which I think's hot.
Hello.
Friends.
Wow.
Okay.
The thing is, I thought the worst thing that I would be able, that would be said on this Halloween episode is that as a child, I would occasionally wear a, like, inappropriate costume.
No face painting, by the way.
Just like, you know, a headband.
I don't know.
I'm going to message your family.
A headband.
Whereas you, you've, you've topped it by a long way.
A wanking witch.
is very appropriate.
Yeah, I mean
culturally, yes.
Socially, no.
But my favourite torture of your then,
I think I would like to be stretched
because I'm curious to see
if I get any cooler.
Because I'm 6'1, right?
How long could you go?
I'm curious to see if I could get,
because I'm only about five inches off
from being a woman with a documentary.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that would be fascinating
to see how long you could, like,
a bit like, you know, there's like, when you stretch chewing gum
just to see how...
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I think if I'm honest, I know it's boring,
but I do think drawn and quartered would be fascinating
because I wonder if just before it's incredibly painful,
it's actually just like having your back cracked.
Like, you know that, like, lovely feeling when you're like,
oh, release out of it.
Wait, drawn on quarter is when they cut your belly in four.
No, it's where they tie all four limbs,
yeah, limbs to a different carriage
and they all run off in different directions and pull you apart.
Isn't that right?
I don't know. I'm looking at Lucas, the child on tech, being like,
Lucas, that's right, right? I'm pretty sure. Well, whatever one that is,
I think that's the one, you get pulled into four parts. And I wonder if just before
you get torn apart, you think, I've been trying to get that nod out for ages. Do you
what I mean? That's a really beautiful, positive outlook. Yeah.
That is really cute. I mean, if you're not busy thinking about, like, your loved ones
and how incredibly violent the humanity has become.
come. But before that, I wonder if you're just like,
that hip has needed to click for a while.
It's like when you wake up and it's just like
one stretch and something goes in place
and you're like, I'm done. But like that on the
ultimate level. Yeah, I wonder if there's
that. Also, imagine to be quite cute. Maybe they
would use like horses or goats.
I'd have to be horses. Well, for you
it could be goats. You're quite petite. But for me
I'd have to have like four really big stallion.
I'm strong. I would take horses.
Goats couldn't pull me apart.
Why is this a terrible song?
Goat. Goat couldn't pull me apart.
You know what?
We're so close to a city farm.
I think we should go and measure ourselves up for what could...
Because you imagine those really petite women
who could just get four chickens,
just pair two different directions.
You could split her in four with a chicken.
Good Lord.
Why am I turning into you?
What's your favorite method of torture, sweet Lucas?
The only other one I can think of is the one where they'd like...
There was one where they'd like put the people in like a toilet
and then they'd just leave them there.
Because the toilets used to be like just a hole.
And then they just use the toilet.
And so you drown in shit, basically.
That's the most brutal.
Are you freaking kidding?
Are you making this up?
No, no, that was a real thing.
I've also found out what hung, drawn and quartered means as well.
But not hung, just drawn and quartered.
Oh, drawn and quartered.
So drawn is, you're drawn by a horse to the place of execution.
Okay.
And then quartered is your emasculated, disembowed, beheaded, and then chopped into floor, basically.
Oh, so what they were talking about for Guy Falk, so dragged there, hung, and then,
Whereas you just want, like, one quick pull on a drag.
But there is a name for the type of torture that is like,
because they used to do it in, they did it once in a scene for Zena Warrior Princess.
Oh.
Excuse me?
I don't know, no.
What?
What?
That's not a big deal.
I have never had this conversation where someone's brought it up and I haven't known it.
Helen, this is the huge deal.
Zena Warrior Princess was my sexual awakening.
What are you talking about?
Okay.
She's a warrior princess.
Her sidekick was a stunning hot blonde.
They had the most insane sexual chemistry.
Good for that.
And they kicked ass all the time.
What are you talking about?
You don't know.
Had you watched it?
No.
What should you do on Saturday evenings?
Friends.
Oh.
Hanging out with friends.
I wasn't at home sticking bin bags to the wall.
Genuinely stunned.
Hey, my dark room hallway was very intimidating and very cool.
But on Halloween
And we are maybe going to do an entire episode on Zina
Because my heart eggs for you
I'd like to laugh
I would like to prescribe some episodes after this
We'd watch it
But I'm actually going on holiday
So I can watch someone on that
What Halloween films did you watch
Practical Magic
I've never seen it
We can both do some homework
Okay mine's more reasonable than that
Have you not even seen the like image of it?
It's Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman
Paul Kidman, yeah, but I haven't seen it.
Oh, man. Okay, we're running out of time.
I feel like we should talk about this in the extras.
Did you watch Hocus Pocus?
Obviously, I watched Hocus Pocus.
Obviously I watched that.
Okay, good.
It is a practical magic reminisced with me a little bit more.
Wasn't it?
Resonated?
Yeah.
There we go.
Tell you what torture for me would be is people using words that I don't know,
but I'm not allowed to ask what they mean.
Oh, for me it would be torture, I guess, would be more like somebody misusing words repeatedly,
but really trying.
Do you want to talk about this further on the picture?
Yeah, I think we should.
Guys, our guest this week is
the wonderful Joe Sutherland.
We hope you've had a nice time listening to us.
We've had a nice time talking to you.
I don't know if I've had a nice time,
but I've definitely learnt a lot,
and I don't know if I can stand by any part of my childhood right now.
No, but we do wish you a happy Halloween.
We hope you have a nice time by yourself.
If you're going to do it by yourself, any recommendations,
I would say, get the junk food you wanted to get
when you went fucking trick-treating,
and none of this, like, open packets of wine gums bullshit.
Don't feel any pressure to celebrate something
if you're not in the mood to celebrate.
That's the one thing.
I used to always chase the, like,
oh, it's a big thing, I've got to do this.
Like, if you want to have a night in, watch a movie,
if you want to do it by yourself,
if you want to invite every couple of friends,
I am telling you now,
there are more people who want to just snuggle up
on the sofa with you and watch film
than want to go out, ask them over.
Absolutely, but also,
if you want to sit at home and eat,
like, those miniature Mars bars by yourself,
I think that's absolutely fine.
Because it makes me feel Halloweeny if the snacks are miniature.
I'll eat the whole bag.
I'll eat the whole bag,
but I want them to feel small.
So I'm like...
Yeah. Why the hell not?
No, I like that. I like that.
Why the hell not?
And I'd say from me, as just a little quick piece of advice to round it up, just like, wash your asshole.
Yes. If it is Halloween, please wash your asshole.
And every other day also.
Always wash your asshole.
We've said that.
Always.
Okay. I'm just saying it more for me at this point.
Washing your asshole. Yes, Helen. Not just for holidays.
Please.
If your jeans are so poo sudden
That you have to come up with a holiday
To burn them
Your country's fucked
It's a shame that dad's not listening to this
I really hope that he plays this episode
Out loud at the sewer work
Do you know what I mean
Just so all those louds are
Oh for fuck for fuck sorry
Thanks for listening
Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween
Boo

I said it I'm not sorry

Oh we have a lovely guest this week
Oh we have such a nice guest this week
And also he has the complexion of a ghost
Which I think works for Halloween
For me it's more his bone structure
Like his bone structure is so on point
It feels like a threat to me
Yeah it's quite ghoulish as well
Which is ideal like...
Do you reckon?
Yeah I think he would be okay with me saying to his
face that he looks like almost dead
in the sexy way. I think what I'm going to
say is because you're saying, I think he'll be right with saying
to his face. Let's bring him in
and we'll start by you saying that to his face.
Okay. Which I think could set a really
awful tone. Yeah, but like
who wants to be welcoming, you know what I mean?
All right, let's bring him in. It's Joe Sutherland.
Aw, we set it together.
Jinks! Did you break your dick?
Behave yourself, Helen. It's Joe Sutherland.
Did you break your dick? Your first
question can't be. Did you break your dick?
It's my first question for most people.
Did you break your day?
It's like, hey, how's it going?
Did you break your death?
Can we give some context?
The context is Joe was like five minutes late.
20, wait.
He's three, 23.
He's doing it for free.
He arrived.
Did you know you're doing it for free?
I got a message from you at 318 saying outside kiss kiss, which feels aggressive.
For someone running late to be like, um, he's doing this for free.
Those kisses say you're welcome.
Yeah, exactly.
Is one your second.
Okay, fine. Catherine's fine with it. So your dick's not broken, huh?
My dick's not broken. My dick does the break in. Hey. He's here. He's here.
He's here. No. But you were late and you were apologising and you were saying that you got an annoying email and then it called you to drop everything and that's where Helen got to. How Helen got to did you break your dick? Is it how everyone else would have?
One day someone's going to say yes and I'll be like, I knew. And it'll be worth all these awkward leadups for that one moment. I don't think it will be worth it.
How are you? What happened? Are you having a bad day?
I, well, it was just fine. Like, I was, you know, doing my bits of pieces of work. It was all going well. And then just one rejection email comes along.
Oh, fuck those guys. And it's after a string of a few of them, would you believe?
I actually can't believe. I know. I won't and I don't. I don't. I don't.
So it was just a tad squishy, annoying.
And then I, like, I dropped a tin of stuff.
It went all over the floor.
I cleaned that up.
What tin?
Beans.
Oh, no.
That's a tacky viscosity.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's intense.
Don't worry, though, because I have these new floor cleaners where you,
okay, so you order them online.
No, oh, address it towards Catherine.
If anyone who's just audio listening, Joe, turn to me as if I give a share.
I do.
I do.
I do.
Tell me.
I like to educate those.
Or my only question of a follow-up is,
did you still eat the beans?
Catherine wants to know what you did.
Did you have the beans still?
You interrupted Joe saying he likes to educate those he thinks needed.
Not enough time.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Go.
Talk about your cleaning.
Okay, no, I didn't eat the beans.
Good.
But it's this new, I'll send you the link.
Okay, so it's a company you order all of these various different cleaners.
They come in little soluble sachets.
So you put them inside.
you're already used spray bottles
so you never need to buy another spray bottle
in your life
and all you do is add, fill it up with water,
shake it up and then you've got a type of cleaner.
Joe, stop it now, I'm turned on.
That's exciting.
That's how you break a dick.
Does it smell nice?
Yeah.
Oh, yes please.
But to go back
because I think that you were very honest and vulnerable
and I think it's weird sometimes in our job
you get like either a series of yeses
or a series of nose
and when you're in the midst of the series of nos
you can't remember yeses.
It feels like the nose will never end as well.
And it feels like it's all you've ever known.
When actually you're a very talented man.
Thank you.
And lots of people have put you on the telly.
Thank you.
But also.
And you're like unreasonably good looking.
Yeah.
I think that is part of the problem.
I think that is part of the problem.
Me too.
The two fuck would be funny belief system.
Like I see you and I'm like, but why would Joe need a personality?
Exactly.
That is what I get.
Not helped by the fact that you recently got muscles,
which are four people without personality.
So it's like, it's confusing.
Well, it's because I realized that my personality is essentially recycled.
Like, Tom Allen already has it.
So I can't.
I needed a new thing.
So you're Tom Allen with muscles.
Yes.
Tom Allen on steroids is Joe Sutherland.
That is hot.
That's really sexy.
I think that's a difference.
I want to see that on tour.
I would watch that.
Yes, please.
Great.
But also, that's bullshit.
And I think it feeds into a narrative that like all camp or gay men are the same, which is it.
Also, rejection-wise, I,
It's funny, but also not true, just to be clear.
Because we're like, as comedians,
you go from, like, being, like, super insecure
to having, like, a weird 24-hour confidence.
Do you ever have that?
Have you ever done a gig where it's gone so well?
And you've got a yes, let's say,
like, within, like, 12 hours before it,
that you spend, like, an hour walking around being like,
I'm fucking flawless.
I've kind of completed comedy.
I've made it.
I think for the listeners,
so that this is slightly more relatable.
It's the equivalent, I think,
of being single and getting laid for the first time in a while.
So it's like,
You go from like, I can do this.
I'm a single person.
I can be happy by myself.
I have all my own stuff.
Yeah, I'm nailing it.
Like a little bit of coffee.
No, I got this.
I can do this.
I'm going to be fine.
I mean, some intimacy would be.
Oh, God, but I'll be alone.
I might be alone forever.
Oh my God.
I just got fucked.
I don't know if you know, but I invented sex.
That's the life cycle of a comedian.
It's like you go from, I invented comedy.
Has anyone ever tried comedy before, guys?
Because that's what I was like when I was single initially.
I was like, at first I was like,
guys, I don't know if you've heard of sex,
but everyone in a relationship,
like, yeah, dummy, yeah.
But you felt like you were number one.
I did the same thing with masturbation when I was 12.
Yeah, when I was single, I genuinely thought I invented sex.
It was great.
So I think it's the same.
And you mustn't forget that there is,
there's a good lay around the corner, my friend.
Thanks, I'd be fucking.
So don't worry.
It's amazing.
I think you're more realistic than me,
but as I take rejections in a completely out-of-context way.
Like, if I'm getting a series of nose,
then a new Disney film would be announced,
and I was like, and I didn't even voice the princess.
I have nothing to do with it,
but I'll be like, oh, my lot.
Here we bloody go.
And they're doing pretty women in the West End,
and I'm not the pretty woman.
That's fucking mad.
Malala's book is it number one?
I've never written anything.
And I'm like, that's mental.
That's mental.
So you can 100% get in that mindset
where everything is like,
oh, for fuck, you arrive at Pratt and they're like,
we don't have the hoist and duck wrap anymore.
And it's like, am you kidding me?
Why?
Did they ever do a hoisten wrap?
Are you fucking kidding?
I'm a vegetarian.
Okay, they do a hoisten duck wrap
and it's got cucumber in it and like spring onions
and it's like leaf changing.
Okay, cool.
I did not know.
There is now a plant chef Tesco's version of it, actually,
which is in the meal deal.
It's high protein.
for vegans and it doesn't taste of frozen spinach as everything else does.
Joe, you're blowing my mind.
Wait, do you want to go to Tesco after this?
Yeah, let's go to Tesco after.
Should we go now?
No, we should finish the podcast, but let's go after.
I want to try this.
Yeah.
Is it fake duck meat?
It's fake duck meat.
So I don't know, what is it, gristle?
Just like some gristle that pitch off the street, put it in a wrap,
and then people are like, it's high in protein.
This is amazing. I'm so excited. Okay, great.
What an exciting day for you.
You're having a really good week.
Your misery has really turned my day around. Thank you so much.
Live to serve.
Listen, speaking of living to serve, we here at Trusty Hogs are but a vehicle for other people to improve their lot, Joe.
And so we have been sent in a problem.
No one trusts us yet.
Oh, no, they don't.
Like the problems they're sending us makes me think that they're like, we'll see how they get on with this before I actually.
divulge anything. But also I've mentioned
this podcast now to a couple of like
close mates being like, oh, I'm doing a podcast and I'm like, oh, what's
it about? It's like, oh, she's a silly chat. And then
people send in problems and we solve them and they're like,
but what, why?
And then it just like, you know when things come crashing
down to you and you have a realisation moment?
I don't think any of my friends have ever come to me
advice for anything, ever.
New people are like, oh, my friends are always asking for advice.
No one's ever asked me for anything.
But Helen, why would you ask for something that somebody gives her
freely? Which is to say that
I think that you and I both are.
offer advice without being asked if...
Oh, my God, we're toxic.
Yeah.
I think we're...
That being said, I forgot, I have some advice for you.
I don't. You're perfect.
Well, okay, I don't know why I said that.
I didn't mean it.
I actually, can I just tell you, can I tell the people at home that yesterday, Helen and Joe
hung out socially?
And consequently, they've had...
I feel like you've come in and you've been like, we're not talking about that.
We talked about it yesterday.
I saw Joe's beautiful manicure and Helen was like, we did it.
And I was like,
I'm sorry, I don't even get to compliment it now.
But we did chat about it yesterday.
I do feel like I've come to like the afters of a wedding.
And I feel offended.
So just like, oh, I have a question for you.
Before we do our problem, I knew I wanted to ask something for it.
This is why friendships don't work in phrase.
I've been saying it my entire life.
You're right.
If Destiny's child couldn't figure it out, then why do we think we could?
You're so right.
Oh my God, do you remember thinking?
I remember thinking that Michelle was the story.
No, I don't remember thinking that.
I really thought that Kelly and Michelle had been, like, robbed of their chances in the limelight because of Beyonce's parents.
And then Beyonce went on to obviously be Beyonce.
And I was like, oh, my God, I really, I always backed the wrong guy.
It's weird that I backed Kelly for a while because of dilemma and stole.
Do you remember that song?
Obviously, though.
And the video was just loads of people killing themselves in the toilets at school.
She was because laugh was stole.
Uh-oh.
And you'll never know.
And I was like, this is the banger.
This is the banger.
And everyone was like, how good is Boutelicious?
and like, like, not religious.
What's her fucking thing?
Like, best thing I never had,
like early, Yonse.
And I was like, no, but stole.
Yeah.
Stole.
Listen, I was with you.
I was ready for that gospel album.
I don't know who I was.
I don't have a...
It's good, actually.
But that's, it's finding your path,
your niche, and her path leads to God.
Yes, it does.
And not to sales.
And let's talk about one question before we do our problem.
And while we have you, Joe,
because you are notoriously good at hosting parties.
And it's, of course, being.
recorded for the week of Halloween.
And while...
Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Well, we have you.
And what I was saying before you got here
was that you are just the perfect amount of dead looking.
Which is to say, like, your bone structure is so beautiful
and your skin's so, so pale.
She said that she wanted to say this to your face.
And I went, don't do it.
And she went, I'm 100%.
Look, I told you he'd be flattered.
I fucking told you.
I know my Joe.
And, um...
She said, goal like.
All right, Helen.
you're beautiful you know it
but yeah
while we have you
I thought
and you're good at throwing a party
what do you have any tips
for the listener
if they're having a Halloween
bash
um
a Halloween bash
I'd say
go
um
and sorry just for clarification
I'm not asking you
about party planning
because you're gay
it is because
I've been to your party
which may or may not
have been good
on account of your homosexuality
it felt like it was because
he's gay
yeah
I just wanted to clarify
it could be because
you're good at throwing parties
but maybe your boyfriend is
No, once again, I think it's that when you are gay, there is such a narrow set of personalities that you can borrow from.
You're right, you're right.
That was that.
Yeah, you just had to be good at throwing parties and you are.
So tell us your tips.
I would say, so do do a dress code, but don't be, don't be like prescriptive with it.
Be kind of like vague and off-kilter in a way.
So like let people interpret it in their own way so that they can have fun with it.
rather than feel like, oh, God, I have to go as a fucking doctor or a nurse.
So the theme isn't Halloween?
The theme isn't necessarily Halloween.
The theme could be like your inner self or like...
Oh, one second.
Are we seriously thinking that's a good theme?
I actually thought that was great, but my inner self...
We went different places with it.
I was like, oh my God, it's like everything I am scared of.
I'd go as a stick of butter.
That's a fucking great costume.
Literally my inner self is just large.
That's such a good costume.
Just me showing up as long as long as.
Lurpack, light.
Finding a girl bigger than me to be Lurpack.
But that's it.
You'd get so many compliments for that because no one else would turn off as that?
So greasy.
That would be amazing.
I'd eat myself at the end of the night.
My party trick would be like, you can butter yourself off me.
And just people getting loads of bread just wiping on me being like, taste me.
That's incredible.
I love it.
Joe's, see what Joe did?
Joe offered you that opportunity for creativity and you actually, you rose to it.
I elevated it.
said yes.
I said, you're right.
I said no, but yes, in my mind.
Yeah, so actually.
Okay, so if you're, this is Joe's hot tip.
If you're throwing a Halloween party this weekend, make the theme, costume, your inner self.
I love it.
What else do you go for?
These are great.
I would also say go for zones.
So like, oh, I agree with it.
If you're listening and aren't watching on YouTube, you will have missed the most exquisite hand gesture by, uh,
Joe, he put all 10 fingers in the air
to tell us he was doing Zones.
What do they mean, Joe?
Zones means like, obviously you've got your
standard buffet area.
You've got your bar area.
You're not feeding people at the party.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not animals.
No, no, no.
And also because it's Halloween, it's a great opportunity
to, you know, make a green
cupcake.
Yeah, agreed.
And even that, like, it could...
Any excuse to make a green cup.
Any excuse.
Any excuse.
Yeah, sure.
And then, and then people will go,
mad for a game so you can have a game zone what kind of games you talk about i'm less sold
like something that's kind of a little bit sexy like so it could be like poppers twister like the penis
up the asshole popper is twister yeah so you've got so twister um and then you know you how you have
one person in charge of the spinner and telling you like what hand or what um appendage to put on
what color you also have someone who's in charge of poppers and so they go around and give
everyone a sniff just before they have to
move. It's very fun to try
and balance. Now that
sounds like a fun game.
Particularly when I'm lubed buttered up.
I'm having an absolute
nightmare and I will break
three twinks. That's
a given but I'm willing to give it a try.
Just people getting
card off of broken ribs and I'm like, I've won.
To be fair, so far I'm enjoying
this party. Okay, so zone one is
buffet. Zone two is Helen
buttering and battering
Twitter.
As someone who agrees with the zone thing, but wouldn't have thought of a game section,
you'll see food section, drink section, dart section, and then Deep and Meaningful
section are the sections that I usually go for.
Do you have a DMT area?
With smoking area, as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, Deep and Meaningful is fire pit in the garden, if you have one.
Yeah. Gorgeous.
If you have one.
Great.
Or you can improvise, you know, a bin.
Oh, you put them around the bin.
You want the sad people at your party to also feel like they're homeless in an American
Christmas movie.
okay great beautiful that's really nice that's really lovely that's gorgeous and any other last
party tips for Halloween green cupcake poppers treat your trash friends like the trash they are
and butter up that tall girl I'm surprised we haven't mentioned the most important thing about
parties which is right so you know that famous question like if you could have four guests to dinner
like deader or alive
who would you invite
and everyone always goes
for like four really impressive people
which I think is stupid as shit
because then you're the dull one at the table
Yeah that's true
You have to bring three greats
and then one fucking loser
So that when they go to the toilet
You know that you're all like
Instead of when you go to the toilet
They're all like thank fuck she's gone
Oh wow I would have gone the other way around
Like one great and then three
Absolute pricks so that you look really good
Next to them
I just need one dud.
You need three.
What does that say?
What does that say?
Maybe you should think about that for your Halloween costume, eh, Joe?
You go with a security.
What does that entail as a costume?
I think it's already the theme, isn't it?
You're in your inner self.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But okay.
So you haven't said anything about, do you decorate?
I'd say.
either, because the problem is
it can suddenly become very expensive
even if you just go to Poundland
and you're like, right, I'll get these cobwebs
but then you unpack the cobwebs
and start putting them on your staircase
and you're like, well, now I've just got a weird
sort of hairy staircase.
And the rest of my house is bare.
So then you go back and you get all the
like orange pumpkin masks
and you put them around and it's like that's still nothing.
So like you end up having to really pile it up.
So actually I think the better thing to do
to decorate is once again
like just pick like one vague
pick one color or just
buy like five glitter
curtains and put them in every door
they're only 1.49 each
This man has parties
Jesus. Why would we spend money on
And then you've got a unifying theme that runs throughout the house.
I love it. I'm assuming you already own the twister.
Uh, yeah. And he doesn't
want to spend his money on cobwebs. He wants to spend it on
poppers and I love that for you. Good. Five glitter curtains.
How many poppers do you want? Ten bottles.
Ten bottles of poters.
Oh my God. And last question.
bottles. Last question, obviously, hopefully
people have already done their invite list, but do you have
criteria for yours?
Or any like
thoughts? Like, how do you
do you do a first wave of invites?
And then if you don't get enough replies from the good
people, send a second.
You can't ask that. I absolutely
have asked that. And based on the facial expression
Joe just gave. Because that means that we can
both figure out when he emailed us
for his party that's coming
up. You were in the first wave.
I can say that.
Both in the first wave?
You were both in the first wave.
Okay, thank God.
Also, though, I didn't want to bring that party up because I was worried about,
I don't know what, the listener's not being invited, but I was.
But I was more like.
Well, Lucas isn't invited.
Well, in the first wave.
He's fourth wave.
But I was wondering if, what's the dress code for that?
It's like, do you.
You do you, honey.
Okay.
I guess that is vague, but also specific.
Which is for me, naked.
Yeah.
But with a really nice wig on.
And a lot of bodied.
okay so you do do it in waves is what you're saying yes
I think everyone does
I think hand on heart we all do it in wave
and then what's sad is inevitably the day before
you're going to panic that no one's going to come
and you start inviting people
you don't even know or lie
because you panic
and it's stupid because it's fine
but oh my God
well we actually have a
and having like party anxiety from school now
we have a party related question
for our health
oh my god you teeth
that up so nice. Thank you so much. Are you guys ready for this? I don't think we'll ever get a
gayer request in terms of an issue that somebody needs help with. So, um, strap in because
as the straight, I will answer it. This is from Worried in Birmingham. Now, I also should put a
caveat here. Narrow it down. I should put, I should put a caveat because Andrew says, you also might
want to mention that the original email was longer and very funny, but we've had to cut for
brevity and anonymity.
Obviously, this person kept putting their full
name at the end of every paragraph.
Loving how they're worried in Birmingham, but they're not worried about the things
they should be.
Unless they are.
No, no, this is cut down and it's still quite a long
race. Okay, hit us. Okay.
So, I wonder if you could help.
After years of let's call it research, I finally
whittled the candidate for the part of husband down to a short list of
one. So we're talking about a prior hoe who's engaged.
Got it. Okay. Sadly, despite my
family telling me this was all a phase, it turns
out that it wasn't and I'm definitely one of them
gay as you read about. So to really make
my parents eat it for being so wrong, I'm going to
enshrine my homosexuality in law
and celebrate it with a huge fuck-off party.
The man still has daddy issues.
We good? We're all on same page. I get it, my dad's never
hug me. I'm going to be down with this. Oh, and
get married to the man I love. Live happily ever after
yada, yada, yada, but it's mainly the party
that's causing the dilemma. Okay, so he's sure
about the husband, but not thrilled about
the party option so far. Are we all
on board to me? Okay, great.
I don't know what about this man would make him seem
anxious. And not because he vetoed
my idea of having poppers as party favours
for the guests. Oh my God, that's
about his husband to be, who's
vetoed the poppers. Oh, Joe's already against
this guy. No,
my dilemma is this.
How much Kylie is
too much Kylie?
I bloody love Kylie
and I found a lovely lady who'll come
and do 90 minutes of Kylie
based hits for the wedding reception. Answers my first
question. What could be better?
Right. My other half, however,
has put a 45 minute max on her set
because according to him,
there might be people
who won't like 90 minutes of Kylie
at a gay wedding.
No, okay, right.
He has capitalized gay.
I know you're both having strong feelings.
I do think she should have been listening.
I'm listening. I'm just like,
I'm already confused.
I, about why they're getting married?
I know you are.
I think he's wrong.
I think he's wrong
and should let fake Kylie finally
for the purposes of this set
or the rest of this email.
He thinks he's right
and says that quite apart from anything else,
He doesn't want to see his mom off her tits on Amel.
What's, A-M-Y-L?
What's that?
Oh, I guess that's Popper's Amyl Nitrate.
Wow.
Okay, cool.
You're so gay.
I mean, wise, wise.
Rumored writer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh-huh.
He doesn't want to see his mom off her tits on Amel during spinning around.
I think this is reason enough to book fake Kylie in the first place.
Yeah.
So, who should win?
Do I get a full 90 minutes of Kylie, or do I let the other groom choose someone?
of the entertainment.
Do you want to go?
They're a strong feeling.
Joe, this is why we've asked you here,
so please tell us all of your thoughts,
and then Helen will also chime in undoubtedly.
You have feelings about this?
I do, and I have two options for you.
One, zones.
Have you thought of having a Kylie zone
and then a shit zone?
Yeah.
Thank you for saying shit zone.
So where your husband to be can book his
entertainment that can be in this other room.
Yeah, it'll only be for one because everyone else will be in the Kylie Sun, but sure.
Yeah, it'll be like, um, uh, like what's that voting system, A-V, I don't know.
What voting system?
I mean, you just had to make this smart.
This isn't a smart podcast.
Well, exactly, but that's, well, I tried and I really, really missed.
First past the post, proportional representation.
Yeah, so the other one.
The other one.
Okay, okay.
So it'll be like that.
So you're saying make a device.
at a celebration which is of bringing together,
do the ceremony of bringing together
and immediately create a divide.
Yeah, great, great, great, great, great, love that, love that, love that.
Have someone on each door with a clicker.
Ideally, one dressed as Kylie and the other one, just a person.
Have the numbers over the zones of who's in which I think would be lovely.
That would be delightful.
You know, like they can count in a marathon kind of thing.
Okay, so you think zones or...
Or tell him that you've limited.
it to 45, but you haven't
really. And then
when she finishes and everyone's like,
what, but you didn't even do slow?
So then they call for an encore
and she's like, well, you know what? I just so happen
to have 45 minutes of encore prepared.
I think, right, so immediately I'm with you.
I agree that Kylie is doing 90 minutes
regardless of anything here. Like this isn't
the question. It's how we facilitate
finally doing 90 minutes.
It's not a question of her
doing 45.
Okay, can I just
first of all, so far
Joe's ideas are
zone and then
undermine the marriage
immediately by
popularity context
or overt lie
to new spouse.
You are with Joe
in so far as you're like
were no questions
that's got to be 90 minutes.
I also have first-hand
experience of this.
I went to a gay wedding
this is like years ago
which was Kylie
like the whole reception
it was in like a football club
somewhere or rugby club
and West Ham
and they had like
it was a
playing a night, they had a drag queen.
Nothing, literally nothing.
I don't think they did either. I don't know why
we were there. And no, one of the grooms plays rugby.
And they had, like, Kylie even signed a photo
for the grooms. And it was like this,
it was amazing because it was given to
the grooms. And it
came after there was a speech about
like, one of their families couldn't make it
because they already decided the world, only some of them could come.
So, like, and it was like moving,
but like no tears. And they went,
but Kylie signed a photo.
an immediate waterline.
How important is family
when there's a possible sign photo from Kylie?
It was so incredible.
So I'd throw a spanner in the works
because I feel like somebody should advocate
for the less good groom.
No.
Well, that's just for a second.
Also exclusively serve the Kylie Rosey wine.
They sell it online.
I got a bottle.
It is really good.
Kylie makes good wine.
Do you know anything about wine?
Okay.
Yeah, I know there's Kylie.
I'm not.
I drink it.
Wait, Graham Norton does wine.
Oh, yeah.
I still haven't had the Ramona Pino from Real Housewives of New York.
So I really, my wine knowledge isn't as good as I wanted to see.
But it's expanding.
It's expanding.
So let's just imagine where the shit groom was opened.
Here's my question.
I know, but let's just try.
What if fake Kylie, the one hired, what if she's not a good fake Kylie?
It's kind of even better.
Oh, wow.
it's still the beats it's still the song
it's still the vibe
you think
oh you're right as you said it I thought
that sounds great
that sounds great
but with someone off key
and like spinning around
but missing the cue to stop
yeah
spinning around the song's over
Ray and white started
that's still that sounds great to be fair
that's exactly what you are
actually I you know what okay
well here's the other thought
if I'm if I'm groom number two
I'm thinking
you know what
it sounds like
the parents
weren't fully on board
here
necessarily from the beginning
and it's a lot of gay
at the gay wedding
they might feel like
let's accommodate
for everybody's interest
I said it
even as I said
I'm just not this self-loading
I tried and I was like
oh they can fuck off
finally's doing 90 minutes
if bad groom
isn't in for it
you've got a 45 minute break
somewhere else
Yeah, go for a walk.
Fit your shit out.
Go for a walk.
Come back.
You've missed that on the fun.
But just step it up.
It's a wedding.
How often do you get to hire a fake Kylie for 90 minutes?
Exactly.
And also, this is my option as far as, like, sometimes it's easier just to place blame on something external.
So then it's not on you.
So just make it very clear.
Look, I spoke to fake Kylie.
She doesn't do less than 90 minutes.
That's a minimum.
It's so important to me that she's there.
This is just how it is.
Another lie.
I love you.
But it's not...
The web of lies with you too
at the start of a wedding.
My goodness.
Oh, you have to go into a relationship with lies.
Otherwise, where's the mystery?
You've got to constantly be surprising your partner.
As someone who's never been in a relationship, even I know that.
Okay.
Well, I...
Even I know that.
I think we've come down fairly strongly in favour of 90 minutes of Kylie.
Here's my last question.
I would also like to go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can we also come to the wedding?
Poppers and 19.
Yeah.
if we're the fucking third wave
they've sent an email in about the wedding
we're obviously close enough for that
I think we should be second wave
that's so true
it's a bit out of order for anything less
and here's my question
what song would you want her to open with
oh a genuine pause for contemplation
and reflection from these two
the both of them
both of them sat back in their chairs
both of you stop back in your chairs
oh you think it needs to be a banger
or not like heartfelt love for?
It needs to be a banger but it can't
no because wow
shot down immediately
no
It seems like, you know, open with a good joke, but best joke at the...
Guys, this is a podcast you can't both to stop talking to think about which...
Well, I'll keep the chat going because, goodness me.
Also...
This is where you'll fill in with a sort of medley of Kylie Bangers so you know what's going through our heads right now.
Out of my head, can't get out of my head.
That's it.
Yeah, I'd go for something, one of the like late 90s early 90s, early 90s floor fillers.
Because she's got five of them so she can both open and finish.
on one.
Oh, wow.
Five specifically.
I wouldn't do anything
from the last two albums.
Honestly.
I think you need to throw back
because it's a wedding.
You've got generations there.
Is chocolate one of her son?
Is that one?
Yeah.
I don't know that one.
No.
I was just trying to name
Kylie songs, but I don't actually really...
To be honest, this might be too into Kylie.
But I think it depends on the outfit
that fake Kylie arrives in.
Well, I would assume she would choose
the set list and then her outfits to go with.
She's not some surprise.
Such a fucking amateur.
She does weddings.
Okay.
You're right.
You're right.
Right.
She does weddings in Birmingham.
She must be a pro.
Can't give you out of my head.
That's what I'm going for.
Are you backing that, Jill?
I'll back that because everyone will know it.
Yeah.
And it brings them in.
Stunning.
Well, I think we've solved another problem, saved another marriage.
And if he says no, find someone else.
Find someone that says, yes.
Find someone to marry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gorgeous.
Yeah, how hard can it be to find a gay man who wants to get married and loves
Kylie. Is that that hard?
Sure. I don't know why we're looking at you like
you know. Joe, is that hard?
I don't think so. No, I don't think so either.
I've watched a lot of reality television.
Okay, well, step it up worried in Bammingham.
Yeah, it seems to be doable. Get honest.
Wonderful.
Joe, where can people find you?
Generally around East London.
Online Instagram, although I guess when this comes out,
oh, when this comes out, I will be coming to the end of a pre-planned
Instagram break, so actually I'll be re-emerging on Instagram with fresh new thirst traps
hot, hot, almost hot.
Stunning, are you going to spend the month off getting even more buff?
I'm going to spend some of that month in Berlin probably not eating or sleeping.
Oh, wow.
You are going to look so fucking good.
Are you doing nothing when you go to Berlin, but you don't book somewhere to stay because
the clubs are 24 hours?
Oh no, I did book somewhere to stay because, um,
They were so desperate for tourism that I got a hotel suite for half price.
Yes, please.
Which hotel?
It's Europe's first music hotel.
That's all I'll say.
Do you want?
I know this one. I know this one.
You can order a guitar to your room on room service.
It's almost free.
Yeah.
No.
It's there like, it's so tacky.
Okay, so if you've ever seen Destiny's Child's episode of MTV Cribs, that's the decor.
Why would anybody want that?
Everything is shaped to look like a lava lamp or genie lamp.
You're going to have.
The first time, the best time.
That sounds horrendous.
Oh my God.
I only ask them always, I really want people to book into, you know Hotel Adlon, which
is the really famous hotel in Berlin, which is where like, Hitler used to go all the
time.
But more importantly, it's where Michael Jackson held his baby out of the window.
Wow.
Same hotel.
Everyone thinks this is coincidence.
Bull fucking shit.
Bullshit.
They're the same people that say it's coincidence.
And it came out the same year Diana died.
I don't think so.
You're right. You're right.
Oh, my God.
We talked about your adorable laugh just then.
That was cartoonish and I loved it so much.
It was like a little goofy baby, but not Max.
Like a different one.
Okay, so you'll be back from Berlin, back on the gram, trapping surst, as it were, or whatever one says.
And it will be at the start of November.
And also people can come see you to comedy and find out about your gigs where?
Instagram and the website of mine.
Yes.
Look, all the links are going to be below.
Yeah, you don't have to do this.
The links are there.
We'll tag Joe and everything about it.
Okay, of course we will.
Please do.
And you could go to BBC IPlayer and watch episode 6,059 of a little indie production called EastEnders.
Are you in it?
Yeah.
Yes.
I just got a check for nine pounds from BBC I Player.
Whoa.
Whoa.
I'm sorry?
That's crazy.
You're in the movies.
I didn't realize.
That's crazy.
Of course you have to come off Instagram.
It must be relentless.
God.
Well, congratulations, Joe.
Thank you so much for being here.
God bless you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot to your name.
Thank you.
All right, Tura.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Bye-ee.
Bye.
You can fuck off now.
Thank you.
