Starting point is 00:02:05 Trust the trusty hogs Or maybe not Wait, weren't you tempted by the queue? Dude, I'm Irish. We don't need to have this conversation. This whole country is so fucking weird to me. I mean, honest to God, just fucking find a guy who can get rid of snakes and worship that, you weirdos.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Listen. St. Patrick! Yes! Just be normal for God's sake. Jesus. be normal. Hey, listen, I'm looking my, I'm only four t-shirt with Helen's face on. Amin I cute?
Starting point is 00:02:36 It's great. I love it. She's modeling it. I can't believe it because I'm going to be five next year. No, you're not. I am. Helen, that would require gross. Perpetually four. That would require gross. I'm growing. Your tits don't count. Okay. I'm going to do an intro to this because I feel like it's already gone too far. What has happened in the last
Starting point is 00:02:54 seven days? Hang on. First of all, this is episode 51. It's incredibly hard to focus because A, your tits look great, but also you have a giant toothpaste stain that looks a lot like a cum stain. And it's very hard to focus, actually. Any other big-breasted women will agree that it is very difficult to brush your teeth. Sure, but you know what I wouldn't attest to you that it's that difficult to get the toothpaste out or change your outfit. I was in a wash. I'm going to wash it for you at lunch.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Listen, it's episode 51. This is Trustee Hogs. It's a podcast where Helen Bauer and I, Catherine Bowhart, talk about our beautiful lives together. and then we help you solve all your problems because you send in your sad, sad stories but we're thrilled to hear them. Now here's the thing. We have some parish announcements.
Starting point is 00:03:34 You ready for it? Yes. Are you going to be respectful? Yes. Okay, because there's a lot to cover. So much to cover. Oh my God. Parish announcement number one.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Helen was in hospital. Of course she was in hospital because she went to also the same week I did live at the Apollo, which would be a parish announcement, but Helen stole my fucking thunder. Of course you did. Parish announcement number two,
Starting point is 00:03:54 we will get to it. Let's really dig in because my God, I have some issues because it really also stole my thunder on the night of Apollo. But guess what? Andrew's boyfriend. Fucking gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Yeah, obviously. No, no, no, you don't know. I've met him like several times. No, you don't know. There was that like progression of an outfit changed through the whole evening on my night of Apollo. It's rude. Parish announcement number two is that race is rude.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Sorry if we're not naming them. Parish announcement number three. You did live at the Apollo. I can't believe that one came first. I mean, and I understand little Helen in hospital. But, like, three, you did life at the Apollo. I did life at the Apollo, and it was terrifying. Oh, you crashed.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Four, you went to Ibiza. Oh, four, I went to Ibiza before Apollo, so there's so much to say. Oh, God, should we just, and then five, I guess. Queenie died. Queenie died. She ain't no queen. And we now got a king, baby. I don't have a king.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I have a king. I don't have a king. I have a king, and his name is Andrew. Aw. Prince. Could you imagine if they skip to Prince Andrew? Just King Pito, let's go. King, Knott's King, Knott's king.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Finally, as if none of them have been nonses over the years. Yeah, true story. It's like, come on. Yeah, we should look at the ages of Henry the Ape's wives. I bet one of them was like 10. Yeah, or we could just be like the queen married her cousin. What?
Starting point is 00:05:14 When? What do you mean? No, second cousin, no? Oh, my bad. Second cousin's chill. Don't be a, Rudy Giuliani married his second cousin. It's not a big deal. Our arbisher.
Starting point is 00:05:26 morals. What? Hey, good morning. Hello. How are you? Dead. Okay, so let's talk. I don't know what you want to do.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Where to start? Okay, should I, can I, should I just, I'm going to talk first. You go first. I'm going to say that we came back from Edinburgh. Before Edinburgh, I signed out, I got live at the Apollo, which was so insane. My, my agent called me. I was in the bath. She texted, she called on it.
Starting point is 00:05:48 And I was like, I didn't answer because I was in the bath. And then she texted me. Do you always talk on the phone in the bath? I know, but not to Hannah. Not to Hannah. I can't be nude if I'm going to get in trouble. Not that she, I'm ever in trouble, but... You actively call me in the bar.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Yeah, because I like to do my phone calls from there. I'm sploishing and chatting. It's nice. Annie, I don't video call. You won't let me. And then I, um, even though I look adorable. Do it next time. Let's have a look.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Okay, fine. I'll screen shut the fuck out there. Don't you dare. And that's why we'll never do it. But I, um, I got this call and I was like, no, I'm not going to answer. I'm too vulnerable in the bath. So then she texted me was like, call me. I have news.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And then I was like, oh! So I called her back. and she was like, do you want to do live with the Apollo? And I was like, do you want to do live at the Apollo? I know. I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's so exciting. And then I know, it was so exciting and then I was one of the first ones booked so then I couldn't tell anybody and then I went to Edinburgh. You told us immediately. Okay, I told you,
Starting point is 00:06:38 but you're my, you're my person. You're my wife. Come on. I was so happy for you. My wife, my life, I got to tell you. And then I had to go to Edinburgh
Starting point is 00:06:48 and act like, everything was fun. Yeah. And then, um, And then I was just like, I honestly don't think I've eaten properly in about a month and a half because I was so physically nervous, which is so weird. I've never had that kind of reaction to a gig. Like, I really couldn't see before.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And a gig that you've done before, you've done that stage. I know, I've done that room, but I don't know. I was shocked by my physical reaction to it. Like I just, it was just so, it just felt so. You say you weren't eating properly, but I saw you drinking many in espresso martini and having many a Thai meal in Edinburgh. Yeah, no. rank gloves.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I didn't say it wasn't but that's liquid calories isn't it I'm not saying I wasn't imbibing calories or that
Starting point is 00:07:28 I was trying not to I'm just saying I found my body very nervous and then the gig came around and Brittany
Starting point is 00:07:34 found me a beautiful dress and gorgeous shoes green shoes and you did look fucking slamming thank you darling and then it was so nice because my family
Starting point is 00:07:43 couldn't come but my gorgeous friends I know you were away but so many it was so funny so I went in and the other
Starting point is 00:07:51 were like, God, I have so many guests and one of them was like, yeah, I have six. And then Sekeesa was like, yeah, I have 12 and I was like, I've invited 25 people. That's what I was thinking. When you were listing it on the morning you were filming, I was like, fuck me. She is gone to town.
Starting point is 00:08:07 I'm Irish and I'm 34 and unmarried. This was my wedding day, baby girl. I was inviting everyone. So I invited everyone and it meant that I was terrified for the gig. I don't know how people do that and aren't like it's sick. Oh, I think everyone's black husband.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Oh my God, my knees were going. I could hear my heartbeat. When I first went out, I was speaking so brressily that I was like, take a fucking minute. I cannot wait to see this clip. And then I did the gig. I left out a bit as you always do and like forgot a tag or whatever one was like beating myself up. But then I went to the pub afterwards where all my friends were and everyone was so gorgeous and nice, except Andrew and his boyfriend. And it was so supportive and lovely except Andrew and his boyfriend because everyone was like,
Starting point is 00:08:49 oh my God, you're great. Have you seen Andrew's boyfriend? And I was like, I'm sorry, we're not going to talk about me for like five seconds. Andrew, let's get into it. What was boyfriend wearing? Oh my God, it was like there were reveals. So first of all, I'm sorry, I'm going to interrupt. There was a bodysuit under a jacket.
Starting point is 00:09:01 The jacket was divine. The jacket came off. There was the body suit. The bodysuit on zips, so we were getting increasingly more chest torso. Oh my God. Also, he's stunning. Yeah, he is. So bear this in mind, Tim and Dom of Gigla's fame drove with Andrata from Birmingham to see the show.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Jesus Christ, amazing. All they could talk about was how hot Andrew's boy. boyfriend was. I was like, cool, just did live at the Apollo. I got nothing. And then I saw Andrew's boyfriend and I was like, it's a lot of process. And that was the whole evening and we had so much fun. I just love that there were like people there from Giglis. Like it just goes to show that we have completely bland the lines on this podcast as to a listener and a friend. No, but can I tell you, the Jesbians came to you and I'll tell you what. So basically when I realized my family couldn't come, I really wanted people in the room who have supported me and
Starting point is 00:09:50 who liked my comedy. That's really nice. I know that sounds cringe, but I just, like, I knew that they would, and they did. And they were really kind, and it felt, like, kind of magic to have them there. And I really appreciated them coming. And so, yeah. Half when? They were, like, the Jesbians were, like, proud aunties.
Starting point is 00:10:05 It was amazing. And then all my, like, best friends, except you and Chloe Pets were away, which is totally fine. And we had the loveliest time. She says totally fine. It's totally fine. Listen, it's fine. They're like, people do Apollo all the time. And, um, no, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Me and Chloe are totally cut out for a while now. No, you're not. I can feel it. We are. We are. I have to run this. Oh my God. Also,
Starting point is 00:10:28 I'm running this half marathon with Chloe pets. Of course. For which I have trained in no way. I sponsored. Thank you so much. Thank you to everyone who's sponsored. We've already hit our target. You guys are amazing.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I knew you were going to crush it. So great, but it doesn't mean to have to do it now. It's going to be the slowest half marathon that's ever been run. But I'll finish it. And I'm talking very fast, but I'm very happy and very happy. Because you're happy and excited. And you should be because it's like a really.
Starting point is 00:10:50 big thing. Yeah. Like for anyone who doesn't know, like, out, like, in comedy in the UK, Apollo is, like, one of our biggest things you can do. Like, I think it's just, it's that. Like, that is the iconic one. It's the thing we've all been watching as well for a year. You see the clips over the years.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It's also been going since me and Catherine, like, before we started doing stand-up, like, we grew up watching it. Like, the first woman on it ever was Joan Collins. Like, it's just, sorry, Joan Rivers. I was like, John Collins. No, she's great, but she was not on it. No, she's great, but she was not on it. No, no.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Who have I got wrong? Actress? Girl care, lots of husband. Footballers' wives. Thank you. Yes, yes, yes, yes, she should go on it. Was she on it this year? No, but they should book.
Starting point is 00:11:32 They should book. They should. But I think it's amazing and you should be so proud of yourself. Now Helen's news. I was just going to say it's a really nice kind of like circular moment because one of our first episodes
Starting point is 00:11:43 we were discussing Helen's Apollo recording almost a year ago. Literally, Catherine recorded it the day after I recorded mine to the year. I was September 14th, you were 15th. Comedy gal. How mad is that? It's mad that we met on a, we met on a balcony at a gig,
Starting point is 00:12:00 well, in a gig where we were both doing a new act competition. But was recorded? Which was recorded because it was the BBC New Comedy Awards. Back in the day they used to put them straight on the radio. And we met and like literally no one else in the room was speaking to us because we were the only women and because I think... We were also the only two smoking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Hey, no, no, Mom, I wasn't. Oh, yeah, me neither. Me neither. I don't know. And I smell kind of nervous. I'm sorry, Mom. And when she's horny. Fuck off. And then, um, you're not wrong. And then, uh, we went out to the balcony and we bonded and that's how he became friends. And now look at us. And then you got on a coach.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, I got on the night bus home. You got a night bus home and I got a lift with my uncle back to his and then went to Bristol airport back to Germany. and I was like, that car was really nice. We did, we used to, I used to do so many night megabuses because I couldn't afford hotels. There was so, there was such a long time where I used to wait in casinos for my, lower the cinemas.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Casinos, whatever would be open so that you'd be safe before the bus. And now, hey, look. And I just don't think a casino is that safe. No, I agree. So all over the UK, we've got casinos, but the really cheap ones where like there's just one person working there are called casinos and they are incredible.
Starting point is 00:13:18 It's safer than waiting on the street. if you're a woman and you're waiting for the 2 a.m. I don't know. Depends on where on the street. Outside Hamleys, you're laughing. But it's not open at that area. Oh, I just think of everything in London safe at the moment because of the queue. Well, I wasn't in London.
Starting point is 00:13:29 We were in Wales, weren't we? Did you hear about the queue though? No, no, no, we don't have time. We won't go into that then. We haven't got into that then. We haven't got time. We'll tell you on, okay, we'll do it in the extras. Awful stuff in the queue.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Okay, so then you, um, while this was happening, you were in Oslo. You rang me on the day. It was really funny. Helen gave me the best pep talk ever. She was like, nobody watches it. Just all you have to do
Starting point is 00:13:51 is get a hot photo. That's the only thing people will see. I do believe that as well. I will say that with TV appearances, all you need is a nice picture of you in front of the sign. And no one gives a shit. It's true.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So I was like, because you were worried about your set and I was like, all you've got to do is smell at a photo shoot and you know how to do a photo shoot. You can crush it. You got your outfit and I was like, she's got this.
Starting point is 00:14:11 You could go on stage, shit yourself and ride around on it. And they'd be like, fine. Do you know what I was going to fall over because I wore heels. Crazy, I can't believe. Big heels.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I just think it just shows how much of a boss you are that you wore heels. Thanks, babe, thanks. I slid out on trainers. I wish I had. It was crazy, but also when Britt tells me
Starting point is 00:14:29 to wear something, I wear it. Okay, so then, you're in the meantime in Oslo. Cut to Helen. Hi. That's like the subtitle for this podcast, isn't it? Trustee Hoggs, cut to Helen.
Starting point is 00:14:44 It really is. It's our tagline. Cut to Helen. Helen talking about Helen What happened to Helen Helen Helen Poor Helen Poor little Helen Poor little Helen
Starting point is 00:14:54 That's new She was only little And I was so on the 14th I flew to Oslo And I was like this will be really nice I was going to go to the Viking Museum I was going to see Edvard Munches The Scream
Starting point is 00:15:09 Did you do this? And hang out with a friend and do gigs Did you do the Viking Museum? Nope Let me tell you they really really slide over a few details. Oh, the raping and pillaging. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:21 They kind of keep the pillaging. That's the best bitch. Keep the pillaging, but that's really it. Okay, so go on. So I get to Oslo and everything's fine. I do my first gig, really lovely stuff. Amazing club, Lotto. Loved it, big fan.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's great, isn't it? Gorgeous, just gorgeous. And the Noritanax are really lovely. So nice, and I'm like, can't wait to see you guys every night this week. This is going to be a great week. Next morning, I wake up. I have a breakfast, buff. A buffet mistake.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Big mistake. We don't know what that happens. I can't believe you've been undone by a breakfast. I honestly, livid. Because it was a good one as well. So I was like, I'm going to enjoy this this week.
Starting point is 00:15:56 This is going to be a great week for hell on a buffet. And then rung you on my way to Edvard Munch's gallery. I remember you were like, there's one famous picture. It's going to take me two seconds. Yeah, yeah. And it took me a lot longer than that.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Good. I got sick as fuck. You got so sick. My stomach was like cramping quite early on in the day. And I was like, what's happening? happening i've already had my period so i just assumed it was like a double bonus month or something yeah and then it wasn't and i was like i feel really sick managed to get back to the hotel and was like

Starting point is 00:16:53 That was my undoing. Absolutely. I got back to the hotel, and then I just, I vomited for like 36 hours straight. And I was so sick and so dehydrated and just got really, really ill. And I was like crying because I was like, oh my God. I hate that you didn't call me. I never get sick. Well, you were doing Apollo, so I didn't want to call you.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I know, but I hate it. So I thought it best not to tell. Catherine so I run Then you let me find out on an Instagram story That was a mistake Hospital gown She's like in hospital and I was like What the fuck is going on?

And then she came again the next day and she ate the food that was just for the patient. We need to send her a gift.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I said thank you. We need to send her a gift. Okay. I think we should have her on the podcast next time because she said that I was being really weird. I was like, apparently I was like screaming all the doctors like, don't judge me because I'm English. I didn't vote for Brexit.

Starting point is 00:20:59 I like turned over even and pulled my train. And I had my first anal experience. How was it for you? She told me to relax and then she didn't tell me again so I'm assuming I was incredibly relaxed. Can you tell me? Very welcoming asshole. How was it for you?
Starting point is 00:21:12 I honestly. don't even know if she got anything out. No, I didn't, I wasn't asking if she got anything out. I was like, was it okay? Was it painful? Are you all right? I don't actually know. You felt nothing? I was so sick. Whoa.

Starting point is 00:21:57 I'm in hospital, but everything's fine. But I've told Francis as well, just so two people knew. So I was like, happens if I die in hospital and then like no one's there to sort anything out. Don't say that again. I hate that. And then never. But then you know, you get worried.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I don't know what they're saying. And I'm also really saying. And fucking call me. If you're like thinking I might die, fucking call me. What's wrong with you? You were doing Apollo way. I wasn't doing Apollo the whole time.
Starting point is 00:22:20 I did 20 minutes. You could have called me. I just don't think it's appropriate. The next day you could have called. No, you were celebrating. No, I want you to call me in future. Okay. Ew.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Gastro ward. I'm on the gastro ward still. Helen, no, you're not. Don't burp up. A lot of women farting around me. Helen. It was absolutely. It was like my dream war.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Helen. Yeah. Apologize people for burping in their podcast. Sorry, I'm sick. No, you're not still sick, you're fine. I'm fine now. Say sorry. Zoe!
Starting point is 00:22:47 Okay, this is the best reaction. So I messaged my family being like, just a heads up. I got bad foods poisoning or some sore of virus, but spent the last day in hospital, all good, blood and CT all clear. Now just sipping drinks, all okay. To my family WhatsApp group, just because I was like, maybe I'll put a picture on Instagram, so they don't see it, like blah, blah, blah. And then my mom's saying, oh, my God, darling, are you still in Oslo? Are you on your own? And my brother said, oh, sounds rough.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And I went, no, no, honestly, it's all good. And then my sister said, you know mom cooked a crumble with coconut without realizing she's stupid. Immediately and a picture of a cat running around like absolute madness. My mom's allergic to coconut. And then 10 hours later, my dad, just catching up with the news. Hope you are feeling better. Looks like you are, looks like you are tribally today. don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:23:41 No, no idea. Tripoli today. Okay, and then never knew there were red squirrels in Poland. Wow. Same breath, same message. Wow. And a video of a red squirrel he saw in Poland
Starting point is 00:23:52 is with his girlfriend in Poland. And then the next day, a picture of him in Poland saying, are you feeling better? Behave. That's it. That is it. No call from any of them. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:24:04 Nothing. Just, do you know, there's a red squirrels in Poland? I mean, do they are very rare. You need that? Who gives the shit? You're doing the world's in hospital. I didn't know, but they are quite rare. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:15 They've got Red Squirrels all over Germany. It's not like he's never seen a Red Squirrel before. Who gives a shit? I could have been dying. I wasn't. I didn't make it clear in the message. Yeah, the Red Squirrels are dying. For anyone with an autistic dad, I see you, I hear you.
Starting point is 00:24:28 And even though we know that the reaction isn't going to be what we think it's going to be, it is still always going to be a bit mental. It's always worse than you hope. That's mad. Yeah, no, that's all over the show, Michael. Oh dear. Do you know there's the red squirrels? in Poland.
Starting point is 00:24:40 It's a good fact. I can barely breathe. You fucking kidding me. Isn't that just from all the smoking? Yeah, the smoking. I didn't smoke either. That's how sick I was. Whoa, you got it. That's good. I didn't smoke. I didn't eat. When they told me I could eat after my CT scan. They were like, you can't eat or drink anything. So they thought they might have to do an
Starting point is 00:24:59 operation. And I was like, I don't know what that's for. But I didn't want to ask, right? So then they were like, you can go and eat something now. So I went to the dining room, just me and all the old ladies were like piss hanging out of them was so good they were so nice they were so smiling at me do you mean catapid
Starting point is 00:25:16 is that what it's called oh that makes way I was like why would be piss hanging out of the head does that even worse that makes way all of them just walking around with bags of piss
Starting point is 00:25:23 and I was walking around with my drip and Panilla was loving it she was like look at your drip and I was like I know that's amazing that's amazing so much fun
Starting point is 00:25:30 so and then I got home I got home I got home and I still felt a bit sick And then I wanted to watch Married at first sight but Sunil had watched it all without me Which is unkind

Starting point is 00:26:48 The fee is not the same. And then... What is it? One free marriage? Leave only. And then, can you imagine finally? Don't. And then we, I saw after Edinburgh, I did like six days of gigging in a row because I needed to work in 20.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And then I went to Ibiza with my friends. fucking I forgot about this is how bad it this is like how much has happened to a Wes Anderson themed hotel which I booked in a dark point remember that because I booked it because I was so sad and I was like I need to go on a holiday and I don't have a girlfriend and my friends

Starting point is 00:28:52 I literally we can hear the funeral happening outside that's what's so disturbing and that was what upset at her Giftings Gifties! Gifties! Gifties! Serve these? Yes no I don't deserve it, but I've been so well. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Oh, dear, poor Helen. There's two things in here. Poor Helen. One is a gift I bought you. Yes. Wait. Okay. Wait.
Starting point is 00:29:14 This is, but there's a best. And then Karen got me one too. My best friend Karen at home sent you one because from one best friend to the other. Yeah, I love Karen. I know. So, this is from me. She's a snatcher. She is a snatcher.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Oh. Oh my fucking God. Do you love it? It's even got a piercing like yours. Oh my God. Wait, I'm going to put this on my Instagram the day this goes up. That's amazing. This is incredible.
Starting point is 00:29:46 This is incredible. It's a bridge magnet of a giant rack with a pierced nipple and it says Ibith on her chest. Show the camera. What's the number on the back? Show the camera. No, you got to go into, it's titties with nipple pierce. It's incredible. It says Ibiza, it's got a lizard on it.
Starting point is 00:30:00 It's got four, five roses, two really pronounced nipples and a pierce. this is the best gift of my life. It's like it was designed for Helen. When I saw it, when I saw it, I was like, and then also, then I had to take it to this, like, really uncomfortable man. Like, he didn't sell all the fucking boob magnets. He acted like, I was the weirder. I was like, you're selling them.
Starting point is 00:30:22 But then he was like, it was so tense. But there you go. So Neil is going to fucking bust his nut when I bring this home. I guarantee tomorrow morning I'll wake up and he's just wanking in the kitchen. Losing his absolute mind over that. I cannot, number one, you knew I would love it, but I'm just so proud of you for picking it up and buying it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Because I bet there was an internal monologue of dignity in your brain about being like this. The Anne was like, you should get that for hell. And I was like, fair enough. It is the right thing to do. Did you get yourself one? No, obviously not. Jesus Christ. Andrew.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I'm so happy for you having. I love it. And there's a number on the back. Giant rack. There you go. What happens if we call it? I don't know, my love. That's for you to find out.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Oh my God. Are you ready for? Are you ready for? Another gift, another gift. Ready for a much more dignified gifts from Karen? Yes. Yes. She sends you these.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Oh my God. It's an anklet with an H on it. Isn't it so cute? Isn't it so cute? Is it too? Is it good? It's a golden Pokemon card. It's a Charazard.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. Fuego esplosivo. La Mada atro. Oh my God. Did she do good? I can tell you what that is. That is fire blast. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I think Lamada Astrid. Maybe that. What's, can I see? It's a golden Pokemon card of a Charazard. That's really cool. I cannot believe this is the best day of my life. Are you having a good time? Oh my God, and the anklet?
Starting point is 00:31:46 Yeah, it's cute, right? I want to wear it. I want you to wear it. I thought it was such a cute choice. Oh my God, I love it with an H on it. For her royal highness. No. For her royal highness.
Starting point is 00:31:56 For a ha-ha, we got you, murderer. Nice. Thanks. Where's, wait. Can I wear it as a bracelet? bracelet. I think you could. Do you want me to do it for you? Yeah. No one's stopping you. I'm not going to tell anybody. It's actually really cute. I'm not. I love all my gifts. I'm so glad I think I thought you might. Oh my God. Karen, thank you so much. That's really nice. That's actually really cute. The H. Don't mind if we do. I'm beautiful. Catherine, I didn't get you anything from What's like? Because I was in hospital.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Mm-hmm. I was in a hospital. They don't have a gift shop in the airport? They did, but I was... Honestly, Helen, I can't tell you how much I don't want another ugly fucking magnet, so we're good. I know, but if I got you that, you'd be over the moon. I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I don't want that in my house. Not even for, like, fun. I hate having it in my house while I waited to bring it to you. Oh, I want to send it to snail, but I also feel like it's not the right thing after you sent that message. No, I should leave it, shouldn't I? Yeah, let him respond first, and then if he behaves appropriately, he can get a picture of the tits.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Okay, that's fair. Also, we haven't even discussed the queen yet, because I found out in a very odd way. I don't want to discuss the queen. I think we should do it with our guest. Okay, fine. Because we've got the most amazing guest. He has the most incredible guest. I love him. What an unbelievable
Starting point is 00:33:08 Edinburgh this guy's had. What an incredibly sweet angelie is. What a style icon. What a funny, funny boy. Are we ready? What a show. What a showman. Are we ready? Let's bring him on. I think I'm ready. It's the incredible Leo Rike. I went to hospital. Hi!
Starting point is 00:33:28 Hi. Leo, right. Leo's here! Oh my God. Can I tell you the most wonderful story about Leo, please? And Leo wasn't even there. This weekend I was at a footballer's birthday party. Because you're going through a confusing time.
Starting point is 00:33:42 No, because I'm going to fuck off. I'm just hanging out with a lot of lesbians. No, you're transitioning from bisexual to lesbians. No, I'm not. You're transitioning. I'm not. I'm not transitioning. Wait, stop the press.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Catherine's hanging out with a lot of lesbians. Who saw it coming? It's so mad. No, but I'm really like going back into my youth. So anyway, this is like... We're still insisting on being the most fan. That's the best place to be fam. I'm like a shiny decoration.
Starting point is 00:34:07 They all get very excited. I love that. I want to come now. I'd be the most. Speaking of, hey, fuck you. Second most. So we were at, I was at this party and this woman was wearing this amazing top. And I was like, gorgeous top.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And she was like, thank you so much. And then the lesbian beside me was like, Leo Reich has that top. What? Yeah, it's the one that's like the, like, the body type black with the, like, detailing. Do you know what I'm talking? Do you think you wore it to a gig? It's like...
Starting point is 00:34:31 No, it's your show outfit. My show outfit? The misbehaved one. Oh my God, that's so funny. Okay, so it's like, Leah Reich has that. And then everyone... Okay, Leo Rike doesn't have it. That's Leo Rite's outfit.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I know. I know. So then pause, hold the presses. So then that's what was the next sentence that came out of another lesbian's mouth that was like, like, Leo made that outfit. And then, and then the lesbians on this entire balcony all turn in and like the following top that Leo Reich has, I want. What about this over that Leo Reich has? I want.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Then one of them was like, I asked him about a top and he sent it to me and it was like a hundred and seventy pounds and it's like, I'm not that expensive. I'm not that cute. Like I don't deserve it. I remember that. Leo Wright deserves it, but I don't deserve it. Are you fucking kidding me? Endlessly about how fit you are and how good your clothes were and how they all kind of
Starting point is 00:35:17 of their style icon. And I was like, but also my dress is cute, right? This is so nice. On some level, this is so nice, but I'm also really realizing that the only people who find me attractive are lesbians and straight men.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I think you're fair. That the only... And Helen, great. Yeah, great. Helen thinks I'm fair. Wow. What a ride that would. I'm sitting in an absolute shift
Starting point is 00:35:40 and you know I fucking would. You know I would. Okay, I'm swooning. I'm gonna fucking tear you. I'm gonna fucking tear you. Actually, I do like that. That's nice. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And also the last time I saw you, We were on a rooftop. We were on a rooftop and it was like 9 a.m. But actually it was like midnight. No, I think it was like 3 a.m. Okay. Is this post-Ogars? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yes. So we all- Classic. I slunk off. Okay. You got in a taxi because you couldn't walk to the club. I know because I'm not. It was a 20 minute walk.
Starting point is 00:36:11 It was wearing a heel. It was a 50 minute walk. It was a minute. I was rabid. I was absolutely rabid the whole evening. I was so excited. I was so listen. So listen, we went to Olga Cox 30th birthday.
Starting point is 00:36:22 It was great. It was great. It was. sexy goth themed everyone looked fucking incredible it turns out that should always be the theme I think I'll just dress accordingly
Starting point is 00:36:31 everyone looked fit then we went to this pub afterwards and then the pub was sort of dead so we were like let's go to this roof so we went to the roof but then I took us it the wrong way in the taxi so we went like that was so fun huge divergence through Central
Starting point is 00:36:44 wait so you got in the taxi with Catherine I got in the taxi with Catherine so I said no to this taxi That is so fair enough but as I'm getting into the taxi I'm having a conversation with some like just some random guy that I met in the smoking area
Starting point is 00:36:55 like literally had been having it for like four minutes yeah and he was like where are you going and I was like I'm going to a friend's roof and he was like oh that sounds really cool and I was like you should come so then this guy gets in this taxi and because such is the power of Leo right it's a moment
Starting point is 00:37:10 it's a moment I'm behind them in this car being like what's happening this guy's gorgeous I know also because it's the wrong way we're going on a full tour of London like absolutely like open top bus I don't want to have Uber that didn't... Oh my God! I can't even...
Starting point is 00:37:24 No, you don't need to answer you. No, don't chance for her. That's why you got me on the pod. Just slip it in. Oh, I spent so much money on the Uber. No, it was my fault. Everyone waits for me to jump in and go, I know, I'll transfer you, I'll transfer it.
Starting point is 00:37:37 It was my stupidity. Trust me, Catherine fucked up and it feels good for me. No, it was so my bad, but I take it in the wrong address, you think. I know, you're apologetic as well. It was really funny. So then we get to this roof and then, it's like, four lesbians and, Leo and this boy, and we are all like, we've like basically pulled up our chairs.
Starting point is 00:37:55 We're like, is it going to happen? Are you going to kiss? It's so funny as well, because he's like, I really come into my own when someone is like really quite like somber and pretentious. Yeah. Oh, he had both going on. I really hope that he doesn't listen to this. Why would he? He's not going to.
Starting point is 00:38:09 What I mean? Why would he? Well, when I say what he was like, you will realize. Yeah. So, so serious. Yeah, very serious. So, so serious. And he was like, talking about, like, like, just various.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Oh, no. European art films in the scene. I pretend I'd seen every single one. Like, every single one, he'd be like, have you seen Marianne's Wish? The 1963 Paul Schrader film by blah like that. And I'd be like, yeah, I love the shots. And he'd be like, I love the shots as well, also.
Starting point is 00:38:38 But even your example sounds more like a hallmark movie than a French art of Marianne's Wish. She's dying. She's dying and her mom so sad about it. Oh, but then you get to say like, oh, no, no, no. It's actually really amazing. It's just a bad translation. Snap's for that.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Did you come back on and do a lesson at some point? This is my special skill is to effortlessly sound really pretension. It was gorgeous. So I was there, but then Leo's agent and indeed yours was there too and when we wanted to talk about them we were just kind of squelga,
Starting point is 00:39:10 we were just speak in Irish and she's a Guelgur so she's fluent and she was as drunk as I was so she was speaking so fast and in Irish. Don't make out because you're drunk. I signed with this agent at the beginning of Fringe and every time me and my agent tried to have a meeting
Starting point is 00:39:25 or like anything because we just started working together at Fringe it's mad Catherine would appear out of nowhere and the two of them would just go in like a two-hour chat-a-thon about Dublin and the Emerald Orias it was insane
Starting point is 00:39:37 and then they get to the end of the long conversation they've had totally in Irish and be like don't worry it's not about you I don't think I don't what I can tell you who it is about
Starting point is 00:39:46 I will tell you who it is about it was it was about about you and then we got to the rooftop and then it was like will they won't they let's watch very closely
Starting point is 00:39:55 and then it became this person couldn't have seemed more straight though no to me like agreed but I was still hopeful for you I was like Leo can do it
Starting point is 00:40:03 and then we all went downstairs on purpose and the next thing I know this guy is like running down the stairs like Cinderella it's like it's 12 and I was like
Starting point is 00:40:13 where are you going man and he's like I gotta go I gotta go meet my friends and I was like okay so nice to meet you I lied through my teeth and then It's actually been a very odd vibe
Starting point is 00:40:21 And then I met you and I was like Did you kiss on your head? And I was like, we kiss And then the whole The room full of lesbians erupt like Yeah! We did! We cut one man! Well, it was kind of nice
Starting point is 00:40:34 Because I didn't kiss one single person The entire Edinburgh Finch Festival That we'd just been to when that happened. But you were like, well, you were busy storming it. I was so annoyed. I was absolutely livid about it the whole time. I was going around to literally everyone being like
Starting point is 00:40:47 anyone, do you know anyone I can kiss? Can you find me some of guess? I would have grown people. Why didn't you ask me? But what? Also, I know. Like, we're talking Turks. Do you know what the worst part is?
Starting point is 00:40:59 The worst part is I know that Leo did kiss somebody, but it's just discounting them because they're a lesbian. Oh, that's so true. No, I had fun, fun friend kisses with people. Where it's like I kissed them on the mouth and it's like, oh, nice. But like, not like a romantic. No, it's not like you find me hot, so you've kissed me.
Starting point is 00:41:17 You've got a random friend of that. Oh, maybe it was. It was kind of that, but in a way where you're like, we're friends who are both, it's so gorgeous. You're thriving? I'm sorry. I was trying. I was like, what can make this even better would be a lovely kiss? And then he had a kiss.
Starting point is 00:41:32 And then I had a kiss. That's so funny because I was very similarly minded. I won't get into details, but what I will say is that until week three of the fringe, I was also fuming. I was like, hello. Then you really made up for him those last night days. Yeah, it is. Holy fucking shit. Who knew you could scissor in the courtyard?
Starting point is 00:41:52 Who knew? I'm sorry, is it a job fair? Is it an arts festival? Or is it, let's see who can get scissored and fucking fingerband to absolute hell whilst the guardian fucking reviewer walks past? Review that! How about you, that'll that be progressive? Review that.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Interesting. Wow, I give you an inch and you will take a fucking mile. We're not talking about this and then I bring up a mind of an inch. You gave me an inch. Thank you, absolute state of the two of you. Like teenagers. Yeah, it was really nice, though. Like teenagers.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Okay, we were... In retrospect, it was nice. At the time, I was like, I see one more person. Snogging in the courtyard, I'm gonna kill someone. Selly A.B. was like, this is only acceptable because you're so well-dressed. She's like, if you looked any worse, it should be fucking vile. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:42:42 That is true. You both, like, neither of you were, like, sweaty, disgusting in Edinburgh. Edinburgh, like, so Edinburgh's split into, like, the comedians who were, like, thriving and glowing from the energy of it. And then the other half of us who were just, like, constantly, like, there's like a syphilis thing going on. Yeah. Always a bit damp. Like, nothing's quite dry. There's a bit of an egg smell. Yeah. The skin is yellowing. You had an egg in your bra. It wasn't a bit of an egg smell. It was a distinct.
Starting point is 00:43:06 I had an egg smell. But. You had an egg in my brow every day. The reveal at the end of her show is that she would take out of the egg out. I haven't seen the show. Yeah. I haven't seen the show. Well, you've just ruined it. Oh. But you've just ruined it. I have not been able to see your show
Starting point is 00:43:21 because I can't get a fucking ticket can I come to Sowell? I know it's sold out I know it's sold out Why? Should I do this? This is what they do in like Joe Rogan, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:43:29 It really is. I don't think. What's he going to say? What's he going to say? Oh, no, don't stretch it. They're prattas, baby, don't stretch them. Are they? They're so nice.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Where are yours from? They're from a knockoff glasses, shop online and they cost $12, $5.50. And they look a fucking gorge. Thank you. And I think this is. Exactly the kind of glasses they wear on Joe Rogan as well. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Slightly winged, uh, Zara-esque. If we're talking about Joe Rogan, I feel like we should first talk about our queen before we talk about our king. Okay? I have no queen, we've talked about it, but your queen died. I know.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Can I tell you what happened when I found out about the queen? I was in Maidenhead. Of course you were in the royal borough. That's already a bad day. By wins the castle. Okay. Don't be respectful of my home camp, please please. please be respectful of my people

Starting point is 00:45:30 Yeah. So you thought the, yeah, so you thought you were ordering it to Jean. In honor of Dodey. No. I basically, they'd come around and they'd been like, oh my God, do you want to do the gig? Because the queen's sick. And I was like, yeah, we're fucking doing the gig.
Starting point is 00:45:45 the gig and Jess was like, oh no, no, and I was like, we're doing the gig. Not that it's my choice, but it felt like it was. And then they were like, we've got, um, they said to the people at the bar, they were like, oh, we're going to do an announcement, like a practice announcement for like, what happens if the queen does die. Uh-huh. Because we've got an announcement, we've got to play because like a government owned, like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And I was like, okay. And then like two minutes later, it played. And all these women in the bar started crying and burning and burn. No. And I was there with Jess and with this girl I know Rosie. And I was like, it's, it's a, it's a practice. It's a practice. not actually dead.
Starting point is 00:46:16 So I was like, we were all gathered together. I had my phone out. I filmed us going like, it's not real. It's not real. It's a woman crying. Oh my God. Because I was like, they should say it's a practice announcement. This is so ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I didn't say it's a practice announcement. It's not real. It's not real. I'm looking at people like, no, nah, nah, no. And I'm laughing. And I'm doing hysteria. And it was real. No.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Oh my God. Oh my God. And then you do the show? And then we do the show. And I took a couple of missteps and that. absolutely did not realize that people who because I was like yeah people really care
Starting point is 00:46:49 people who are coming out still to see the show they won't care right oh they do in the Royal Barra yeah of course they do they were having absolutely none of my shit whereas last night I gigged in Bristol
Starting point is 00:47:02 the place where they tear down statues don't mind if we do and they were so with me we had to do the countdown I had to be so basically I was opening this show Fin Taylor could only do five minutes because we had exactly 25 minutes
Starting point is 00:47:13 till the moment of silence I would... Oh, it's nice to give that opportunity to an open spot. Isn't it not? The five to start, five to start, yeah. And so he does five to host
Starting point is 00:47:23 and then I go on and we're doing basically a countdown to the moment of silence. Celebration. And then we... She's a grandmother. But it was the opposite whereas I couldn't go far enough.
Starting point is 00:47:33 These people were like, wouldn't you hate her so much. So real, real opposite ends of the spectrum. Well, that's exactly why I've always said this ever since I was born don't do comedy in a maidenhead. I said that. No, because I'm going back to Maidenh
Starting point is 00:47:44 What are you doing? No. I just feel really comfortable in the home county. Yeah, that's right. Always have, always will. Do they take to you? They take to you.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Regardless, they do it to Gino, the bars. One of us. It's surprising. Isn't it mad? I know. But that's why I wanted to order it. Here's my question, Leo. Yeah.

No, I had a lovely time to do. Did you? I did. Although I maybe I had a bad time of the first three because I don't remember. It really picked up for you at the end. I think also like you were going into Fringe in like a really good space. I've done a tour. You'd also like you knew you had Apollo.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Yeah. And that was like a nice little confidence. You had nothing left to prove to these fucking pigs. That's true. My sales were good. I was so lucky. I was so lucky and then you've unto you have you have answer you know the only lucky you know the only early morning

That's so boring. I know. Well, it is boring. I have nothing to talk about. He lives with them. I live with them. He seems cooler than that. He's not. I think that's an interesting fact about Leo.
Starting point is 00:50:52 That is an interesting. I think that it's fascinating. It's quite cool house. It also explains why he can spend all those money on those gorgeous tops of the lesbians. That's true as well. Yeah, this is great. It is good. Do you have siblings? Do they live at home? My siblings, well, my siblings lived at home until my sister had just gone to university. yesterday. Oh my god, hashtag so proud. I know. She was so nervous. I was crying, crying, crying. I, like,
Starting point is 00:51:12 have a picture of her going off in the car with her teddy bear she's had since she was six. Just clutching it. You didn't want to tell her not to do that? No. What kind of brother are you? I kind of want to see how it goes. I think do it for the... Take it to class. Do it for the story. Do it for the story. I think she'll thrive.
Starting point is 00:51:28 But then she went about an hour after she got there. She sent text the family group chat saying, by the way, I'm slaying university. I was like, okay, I can't think. That was so funny. By the way, I'm slaying university. An hour in. Oh, that's going to be a fault.

Starting point is 00:51:51 Obviously. I'm the middle. Obviously. Really? That explains our energy. It really does. I'm the eldest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:58 That explains your tone. Yeah, it does. And so, who's the eldest? My older brother, Noah, who, gorgeous names. Yeah, he's nice. Noah Leo. End of list.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Ruby. We're talking Jewish here, baby. We're talking Jewish. Jews, Jews. Of course. That makes... Half Jew. Actually, a lot of Jewish people
Starting point is 00:52:19 get annoyed at me because they're like, your mom's not Jewish, so you're not Jewish. And I'm like, okay, let's maybe not talk about the purity of the blood. Yeah, let's not.
Starting point is 00:52:25 That hasn't gone well for us in the past. But also agreed. But also, if you feel it, like, if you are... I feel in my bones, I had a bar mitzvah. You had a bar mitzvah. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:52:33 I knew I loved you. It makes sense. All the significant relationships in my life has been with Jews. With Jews, really? Yeah, biggest, longest romantic relationship. My agents are Jew. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:44 God, there's just a, there's a specific... New podcast, my agents are Jew. My agency is. You got a lot of guests. I can say it. I can't. No, but I'm just saying, because... We love to pull the strings.
Starting point is 00:52:56 I think there's a Catholic, like, Jewish connection that is just so, like, we're so... So, it's gorgeous. Also, it's gorgeous. The German. I'm sorry Sorry Sorry from the German side of me
Starting point is 00:53:12 And sorry from the English side of me Are we forgiven? Water under the bridge You know what? Well, you are much more forgiving than I I just think like let it go Let it go I think cancel culture's gone far enough
Starting point is 00:53:23 Thank you I think in hell We're going to podcast Joe Rogan You're Rogan It's all forgiven It's gone far enough We've been under the rug
Starting point is 00:53:32 So is a Nazi for 10 years. Look what are we going to... He apologised. I love that. It's Leo. Have you seen some of these English podcasters now wearing the sunglasses?
Starting point is 00:53:43 You look so cute in that outfit. I would love... You would slay that outfit. The thing about sometimes actually what I'm wearing now, I like to think that I wear something that a straight person would have worn like 10 years ago
Starting point is 00:53:53 and bullied me in and then I wear it and I like to think that it's sort of queering the idea and everyone else thinks that I'm actually just to have a lot to talk about in therapy. No, reclamation baby.
Starting point is 00:54:02 But surely you'd already queer because you do the Curly Girl method in your... And because I'm queer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I thought so. Do you...
Starting point is 00:54:10 Queer, interesting. Do you feel like... Oh my God. Is any of your family queer? No. Okay, so only one special boy. I'm the only one special boy. I came out like...
Starting point is 00:54:22 When was I? I came out... 19? 15 years ago? Mm-hmm. In Ireland, to tears, obviously. And concern. And then my sister came out.
Starting point is 00:54:33 like three years ago. I would lose my shit. She came out to flowers in the bisexual colors. No, you're kidding. Okay in the bisexual. Listen, I'm glad we're progressing. I'm glad we're progressing. I'm glad we're going to you walk.
Starting point is 00:54:47 My sister often says actually, well, if she listens to this, she'd be like, she texts me like, don't put me in a box. And I'm like, okay, Harry Styles. Like, honestly, what the fuck? Yeah, it's a little queer baby, but it's also hilarious that you think your sister knows if she's queer when she's just gone to university with her teddy. Let's maybe let her figure some stuff. Oh, is that queer culture now?
Starting point is 00:55:05 It's not, listen, I think she's got some discovering to do. Yeah, there's some anxiety there, and that's, that's, that's queer culture. Ruby's got some learning, didn't you? I got two teddy back. And you're the straightest woman we know. We know this. We know this. We know this.
Starting point is 00:55:17 I'm okay. Yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay and myself. Okay. I feel like it's so weird that we can hear the funeral happening outside. I love it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:55:25 It kind of makes me feel cheering. We need to solve a problem, don't we? We absolutely do. Oh my gosh. You know the premise of the... I know the premise. I know the premise. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:32 He does his research. The loosest of premises. It's a good premise. The elevator pitch slays. It's so good. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Come on.
Starting point is 00:55:42 This is from C. Hi, C. What's up, Cunt? Oh, whoa. Cause Cee. Yeah, Coo C. All right. Get with it.
Starting point is 00:55:50 With it. Okay. Well, this person you just called Cunt. I'll open their message. I'm 16. Oh, that's a tough start. You know what? I met plenty of cunts for 16.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Oh, they're the cuntiest. They're the cuntiest. The cuntiest. Hi, 16-year-old C. Okay. I'm 16 and I've just got my first ever boyfriend. Congrats. Dump him.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Our relationship got off to a bit of a bad... Did we know the gender of C, not that it matters? I believe C is... We don't know. It's okay. Female, yes. Okay. I'm 16 and I've just got my first boyfriend. Our relationship got off to a bit of a bad start with some communication issues about
Starting point is 00:56:32 what our official label was. And I also wasn't sure if I was really that into him. But... Whoa. That's not a bad start. That's just a sort of fancy my boyfriend or is he my boyfriend? She's 16 just figuring... That's every 16 year.
Starting point is 00:56:47 That's the funny thing I've heard. Okay, wait, we have to hear the whole thing. But we've been dating for about two months now, and I do really like him. He's very kind. Two months in! Yes! He's very kind. And it's always treated me nicely.
Starting point is 00:57:00 We got close mainly over the summer. and we're now back at school. We haven't been back at school for very long, but he hasn't spoken to me at all, and during an activity in class, he got put next to me and very obviously moved away, which caused everyone to look at me
Starting point is 00:57:13 and even laugh a bit. When I asked him about this, he said he didn't notice and he had, and it wasn't anything to do with me. He also said that he just couldn't find the time to hang out with me and that he wasn't going to completely drop his friends for me,
Starting point is 00:57:25 even though I wasn't asking him to. No, no, no, no. I just wouldn't like to be ignored. He also made it clear he was going to talk to me because he doesn't want me he also made it clear he was going to talk to me
Starting point is 00:57:39 because he doesn't want me and my friends to slag him off which makes me feel like he doesn't want to talk to me because he likes me that same night he told me he loved me which was very confusing because I have no idea if he means it or doesn't want me to be mad at him. We still text
Starting point is 00:57:53 all the time but I'm starting to feel like he's a bit embarrassed to me since he's starting to get a bit more popular at school and I don't really know how to handle it. So relationship from the summer carries over into school a bit of an awkward tension in the in school
Starting point is 00:58:07 any advice and thoughts much appreciated much love to see love is an action not a word and that is not love my friend that is give an ugly boy an inch
Starting point is 00:58:20 they will take a mile you knew who was ugly at the start yeah you were like I'm not that into it this guy's treating you terribly and you've got to say goodbye bye bye bye you don't get to treat me like that and also What the literal fuck?
Starting point is 00:58:31 How dare he be manipulative and be like, it's fine that I cheat you like a piece of shit because I love you. Fucking do one. This guy is incredible. Yeah. He has learned skills. It's kind of a sleigh.
Starting point is 00:58:43 20 men did not figure out until 25. So number one, fair play to the 16 year old, toxic little cunt, who clearly has not like trained under the game, but has watched itch. Yeah. No one's doing. This 16 year old boy.
Starting point is 00:59:00 might be Prime Minister one day. So seriously, like, take pictures before you dump him. Incredible. Because you might want to do a book. Oh, my God, this morning at some point. This guy is... This guy will be wearing sunglasses in a podcast studio
Starting point is 00:59:14 before the year is out. Yeah, I agree. He's going to do drama A-level, and his final piece will be him doing a monologue about how women don't get him. Yeah. I honestly hate that for you, see? Listen, trust your gut.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I think you know exactly what's going on. I think you know when you wrote that email that that is not okay but enjoy this first toxic relationship yeah when you get to do this first like boyfriend at school thing once like mine was so boring I was like 12 and I got dumped in the canteen on by his friend on behalf of him like and you only get to drag out this drama one my first toxic boyfriend broke up with me via text in a room full of his friends that we were both in and then sent me an email out like having treated me so appallingly about like six months later being like I've actually decided I am in love with you and I remember I was in France
Starting point is 01:00:00 at the time and I sent an email from like an internet cafe that said like lots of capital letters laughing which is insane like I just sound like ha ha ha which is mad now I think of it but then I said I don't think we think love means the same thing oh my god I'm crying bye wow bisexual okay you can see take that do that just like take that email like just be like we clearly define it differently if you think it's treating someone badly I don't think you should even explain. I think, yeah, do it publicly. Do it publicly.
Starting point is 01:00:31 It was so painful in the lunchroom because I had to go back and sit with my friends and be like, yeah, whatever. And we'll do good time. Fuck off. Like, do that to him. What an absolute one.
Starting point is 01:00:39 And first toxic boy? And what? What was your, first toxic boy? Um. Leo is the toxic boy. I'm usually the toxic boy. No.
Starting point is 01:00:51 No. I, first toxic boy, maybe when I was like 12. Yeah. But, but. This is the worst. It's a different vibe. Toxic boy, different vibe, which is more like,
Starting point is 01:01:01 shh, everyone will be very quiet. If you tell anyone this, I'm going to kill you. Oh, fucking. Which actually, now is actually thinking back, wow. Wow, I am sweating. No, I was like this as well, just because your toxic boy is awful to you. By the time I got to A levels, this guy starts cycling around my house and wanting to have sex with me. I think you should humiliate this person.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I think this person needs humiliation. No, but also what you're talking is dissimilar to what this is going through. Just keep it on the DL. Yeah, just like, please don't talk about me with your friends. John Tucker must die. John Tucker must die. John Tucker must die. Watch it.
Starting point is 01:01:37 John Tucker must die him. That's what you do. John Tucker must die him. Watch the whole film and then you get your like three other girls who have been spurned by him at some point. And you make a group. Yeah. And then you ruin his life. I think she might be the first spurned girl because if we just cycle back to the start, it did sound like he wasn't very attractive. Agreed.
Starting point is 01:01:55 I just, I hate to keep coming back to that. that, but that is so important. The state of the lads at my school who had partners. I know. It doesn't matter. I know. Edinburgh fringe vibes.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Can we also just say one thing? Yeah. Too fucking I goes frotting to no one's business. Frotting. We're beautiful. I only just love what frotting is. I know. I don't hear anything from you,
Starting point is 01:02:20 but I will not hear that I didn't look good in. And can I snowball off of that? I won't hear frotting. Yeah. I actually won't hear frotting. But I've only just learned the words. Can we do one thing? Can I just talk to see for a second?
Starting point is 01:02:32 Truly, I felt so unattractive as a kid and teenager that I got to my 20s and was so grateful that anyone would show me any attention or affection that I put up with a lot of bad behavior. Something I'm still trying to un-learn. And what worries me most about your email is that despite not intuitively thinking that this was the right person for you and despite their bad treatment of you now,
Starting point is 01:02:54 what you're holding on to, the sentence that worries me most is like, he was kind to me and I just want to say and I wish somebody had said this to me and I hope that this you can hear me when I say this that is the least
Starting point is 01:03:05 the least someone who you are dating should be to you like the bare minimum is that they be kind to you and when that ceases it doesn't it doesn't buy them more time because they one time were kind to you or for a moment were
Starting point is 01:03:19 that is the least you should be able to expect from somebody that you're giving your time and energy to you're 16 you have shit to do you want to go to school you have your friends you like have your own things to discover you don't spend any time on anyone who thinks it's like for whom you have to be like this one time they were kind to me that's not fucking novel it's the least they could do he got to go you got rumour i think just no i think john tucker must die and also you've got sats to get on with
Starting point is 01:03:41 or whatever you really do it also and like hair to die and more importantly um please message us and tell us what happened yeah we love you and we think you're fucking great and the next person will be better yeah if they're not you'll get rid of them too totally i really want you to break up with him, but I have a horrible feeling you're going to end up at prom together and go to the same university. No. That is a fear.
Starting point is 01:04:03 I've seen many close friends end up in that situation. I'm both going to go to Cardiff. I think my only thing, you must end it, but please don't end it in a way that's like sit down and talk about your feelings, and in a way which is like you,
Starting point is 01:04:19 goodbye. Yeah, I agree. You don't need to talk about it. He doesn't deserve them and he can't be trusted with them. He clearly doesn't care. about them so why would you give them to him to him? Yeah. Bye. Bye. As Catherine said in her famous email when that person said that they were in love with her, bye. Ha ha ha ha ha, bye. Yeah. We think it means
Starting point is 01:04:38 different things, bye. Or wait three years and then give them a blowjob while your mum's downstairs making dinner. I think do both. I think you both.
