I was saying to you that I was doing an autumnal spring clean, which I know is out of season, I know that,
Starting point is 00:02:34 but ultimately it's been a long year, Helen. Okay, okay. Should we do like a little compliment circle because I feel like this has got nasty? Yeah, well, two seconds ago you said that I had to do Halloween whenever you said I did because my hair is red, as if that made any sense to... You're in costume all time.

Go back. We are diving straight in, by the way.

It was a manicure, but I had to trim it because gay, but thank you. It held up. Your nails are incredible. Your spirit is strong.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Spirit. Ooh. No, no. No. Helen. And your temperament, be it untamed, tis a joy to be around. being proposed to you the first time by Mr. Darcy. It's like, despite your personality,
Starting point is 00:04:26 I can bury you, shall we bear each other? I would fucking love to have my nipples hanging out like that, getting out of the water. Oh my God, that would be so exciting. The original male privilege. Okay, here's... Say thank you for my compliment. Thank you for my compliment.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I will take one now. Don't look like it's hard to think of one. Despite... Despite... Despite. Despite... That's not a compliment. Despite, in spite.
Starting point is 00:04:51 of no no you start with you're actually very charming no not actually you're very charming I'm charming and I find it hard not to laugh around you and your eyes are lovely today and honestly you and black it's a great look and that tight t-shirt makes your tits really focused and um with a focus and as you know I love your tits so does that all that do thank you so thank you so much I feel seen. I love you. And M, you're really cool. Yeah, Em, you're real cool.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Is that cool enough for you? You cool? Yeah, that's fine, thanks. Okay. Don't fucking talk to me, don't say anything nice. One ghost story then. No, no, no, no, that's the opposite of what we agreed. Can I just be one?
Starting point is 00:05:38 No, no, it's not time. Next week, you'll have your time to shine. But this is my first time in life I feel confident with ghost stories. Helen, next week. Next week. I'll do three. I'll bring your freaking torch. You can put it under your chin.
Starting point is 00:05:49 We'll turn the lights off. You can go to. town. Are you fucking kidding? No, by all means, when it's seasonally appropriate, I will get into it. Can you bring, um, like an Irish ghost story with you? Like a, like a fable from De Moors. Not Moore, what do you have? Wicklow, Wicklow, Wicklow.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Wicklow mountains? Where they, where, where does, um, Hilary's fan go in Piers, I love you? Sweet Jesus. Um, I'm going to bring you an Irish folklore story next week. Maybe an Irish scary story ghost story, but we're not going to do the accent. And, uh, oh, I'll tell you about banshees maybe. All right, that's next week. to Bansche Labyrinth, the venue.
Starting point is 00:06:23 No, about actual banshees, maybe next week. What are banshees? We'll talk about it next. The way you get-less, you cannot entrap me in Halloween. Now, focus. Here's what's happening. It's the, like, it's honestly the third week of October, so I think about what we really need to talk about is Halloween is.
Starting point is 00:06:40 No, it's not. Look at me. That's the fourth week. Here's the thing, though. Here's the thing is, I feel like, I don't know about you, but I have been, because obviously it's gotten darker, the days I've gotten shorter. there's a cost of living crisis
Starting point is 00:06:53 the beautiful leafy leaves have turned to sludge I find this part of the year quite hard to like it's quite sad I get real sad Do you get sad? I do but I've
Starting point is 00:07:05 Have you got a sad lamp? Yeah of course I've got a sad lamp I should maybe get I don't have a sad lamp No I was just asking people on Twitter but I think I should get one How did I miss this? Yeah 100% get a saddab
Starting point is 00:07:14 I've got one Which I would recommend If you're feeling anxious as well So it's brightness light So you get that sort of like hit at the serotonin blah blah but it's also got an infrared setting which is really good for like the wind
Starting point is 00:07:27 down at the end of the day it's sort of like it feels weird because your room is like bathed in this like cave of wonders red but like I mean it was placebo I don't give a shit is that loamy it's no I can't remember the name of it I'll look at it when I get home it's really good but I'm actually
Starting point is 00:07:43 thriving with the leafy sludge because I've got new friends in my garden who I've got a slug collection now Oh, that's disgusting. And so I was struggling with the spiders. Yeah, but they're leopard slugs. I had to Google them because they were poisonous. Why are you saying it like it's a good thing?
Starting point is 00:07:58 But they're not. And they're... I wish you weren't scratching yourself while you said they're not poisonous. They got a bit of extra. But they're not from putting a slug on me. I don't touch them. But I feel like, you know when you step on a snail or a slug and you feel it and you're like, oh God.
Starting point is 00:08:13 And then your brain goes, oh God, you're probably a mummy or daddy. Or you've got kids who've got mouths to feed. and then I've seen loads of baby slugs recently. So like, yes, we have different brains. Mine goes, ow, my shoes. I know, but since having snails as part of my family through my sister, through the connection of the snails that like I, nieces and nephews, I'd assume at this point.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Curry, donkey, Helen and... You're calling those your nieces and nephews. I don't know what my connection is exactly. Nises, probably. Neasas, yeah, my nieces. Yeah. So because they're in the family now, I see these slugs and I'm like, oh, God, I owe you so much.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Wow. So I am actually having a nice time because I've got new friends. Oh my God, I just heard that out loud. Yeah, that was really depressed. You were like, I'm not sad because I have no slug friends. I'm actually, I think I'm in a depression. I think you might be in a depression. I was crying last week, this week.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Oh my God, I'm in a depression. You said it's fine because you have the slug collection in your garden. Oh my God. Antonil was like, you're taking your vitamin D supplements? And I was like, no. Oh my God. You okay? I mean, clearly it is working because I don't even realize I'm depressed.
Starting point is 00:09:18 I guess it's only that. Am I crying now? Yes, you're weeping. Wait, do you think, do you have this every single time at this time of year? Oh yeah, it's so predictable. It's not like, I don't think I had clocked it
Starting point is 00:09:31 and I don't know that I'm like, I have like sads or whatever, but it definitely is like a, oh God, it's hard to get up in the morning. It's hard to not want to just stay in the evening, especially because we work in the evening and it's that thing of like it gets dark and then you have to get yourself out
Starting point is 00:09:43 and look, we do it and it's fine. And I do get, but what my point actually was going to be before you got into that really depressing story about slugs I didn't realize it was sad. I wanted to talk about things that are nice to do this time of you that you can't really do other times of the year
Starting point is 00:09:57 and usually when I say this people are like they get to curl up in the evening in front of the TV and it's like no we can't do that we can't do that that's not part of our lives because of our jobs. Blankets. But like I want to like try to revel in the things so I have a pumpkin-scented candle. Delicious.
Starting point is 00:10:11 How is that not Halloween chat? Delicious. Can you police this at this point? Hey look at me. Pumpkins are a food that it's are seasonal. Halloween is a thing that is seasonal. Pumpkin risotto?
Starting point is 00:10:24 Mm-mm-mm. Yummy. Anyway, pumpkin pie? I don't mind if I do. Yeah, yeah. That's a really good thing to discuss. If you've got mental health problems, no stress.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Buy a pumpkin candle. No, I'm not saying that I'm saying I'm trying to look at the positives. We are not getting on today, my love. We are, you know what? Anyone who's writing a doctor or anything on toxic female friendships, this should be your fucking thesis study.
Starting point is 00:10:46 No, I'm going to start. writing a doctorate and toxic female friendships. Don't you have to do your undergrad first? Why are you like this today? Right, M, I'm sorry, but we're going back into the compliment circle. Hands out. Hands out. Hands out.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Right. It can't be physical this time. It's got to be emotional and mental. Catherine. Helen. I love how much you put everyone in your life and they're happy. before anything else in the world. I think it's so generous and so kind and so loving and sweet.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And I hate that when someone does something lovely for you, you're like, why? Like when I just gave you that gin and you freaked out. But that is because I think that you are a giver. And not a receiver. But I hope you receive that compliment and tuck it away in your heart. Go.
Starting point is 00:11:48 thank you for my compliment you're welcome look at me you're doing your bits on me now literally said it and I was like why am I doing my bet um Helen yes I think you're infinitely smarter than you think you are and I think your capacity to retain every piece of information you've ever learned is profoundly impressive and I learn from you all the time
Starting point is 00:12:13 I can't imagine this is good podcast listening What have you learned from me So many things. Stonewall. Well, that's not how that conversation went. What a banshee is. What a banshee is. And I think that you light up every room you walk into.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Thank you so much. You know how I could light on this podcast? Halloween chat. No, I'm joking. Pumpkin candle, 100% a great thing. Blankets, you can sit under blankets. Blankies are very important. I do think it's hot water bottle time, baby.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Oh, my God, yes, is. Are you doing the thing yet where you, like, put it in your bed and then go to bed, two hours later, into a hot beddy. No, but I want to do that now. Me and Emma Black used to do it for each other. All the time, I'm sure I spoke about it, but when Sunil moved in, he went,
Starting point is 00:12:55 oh, I don't fucking do that, you fucking loser. And it's like, I am so used to living with a female friend who's like, well, if you're in first, then we do hot water bottle in your bed, and then vice versa, and Emma's hot water bottle was called Rupert, and it was a bunny. That's so cute. No, I haven't done that yet, but I have,
Starting point is 00:13:12 I did, the other day I had a really bad period, So I did just walk around with one tucked into my pajama bottoms. You know, just like full pregnancy mode. It was gorgeous. No, you're right. It's fully that season. It's also hot chocolate season. Like, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I am like. I have multiple flavors in. Losing my mind. Yeah. I'm really having a good time. The old velvitizer is living in its best life. Working it's, yeah, working overtime. It really is.
Starting point is 00:13:36 It's having a great one. What a season. What's your best combie so far? Because I've bought some oat milk and almond milk and I'm sort of playing around trying to figure it out. I only do it with oat milk. Maybe I should. should be, I think, you know what I wish I bought, actually?
Starting point is 00:13:47 You haven't done the coconut milk chocolate yet and having a bounty? No, but you don't know, oh, that sounds amazing. Highly recommend. Oh, that sounds amazing. That sounds so good. Wait, but you're just doing regular, you just oat milk with the sashes. Well, she said, as we sat here, I thought, God, last year I did do it with hazelnut. Oh, fuck me.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Hazelnut milk, chucky porridge with a Ferrero Roche crushed on top. Now, that is a 6 a.m. start to the day. That is the start to your day. Good morning. Your bowels are fucking awake. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Why do your breakfast always involve
Starting point is 00:14:17 Like an actual Like proper chocolate You like put like chocolate from chocolate boxes in Like not just like some dark chocolate from the Like you're like or chocolate drops You're like no full like actual chocolate Like that's mad And every time we mention chucky porridge on this podcast
Starting point is 00:14:32 I get a message from someone on Instagram being like Can we have the recipe for chucky porridge So we'll do it again Recipe for chucky porridge Porridge For Chucky porridge Porridge Make Porridge! Make Porridge!
Starting point is 00:14:45 Put chocky in it and stir. Chucky porridge. It is insane to me the amount of times I had to type that out for one of you. You're smart than that. And if you're not smart enough to follow that, stop listening. You're not welcome. I will say this. It's fucking great that it's porridge season.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I love porridge. You are such a porridge. I actually love porridge so much. I have it in summer anyway, but it's so nice to do like cinnamon in apple, cinnamon and pear. I've been doing banana and hazelnut and a little bit of Nutella sometimes. That's a chucky porridge.
Starting point is 00:15:19 That qualifies as a chocky porridge. I did PBJ the other morning. Wait, peanut butter and jelly? That's interesting. And really? Great, it's great. Well, sort of peanut butter. You can't go crunchy.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Oh, I go crunchy. I like the texture. I like the texture, but you can do smooth. You can do smooth and then I did raspberry jam with some fresh raspberries. Oh, fuck me up. This thing, your porridge. I think mine is more fun,
Starting point is 00:15:44 but yours is leveled up. Yeah, I do do fruit. I'll be honest with you. I don't know why. Even being your friend and knowing you for so many years, when you talk about food, I still picture you at home eating
Starting point is 00:15:57 and cooking like Nigella Lawson. Like, Catherine takes her bite of her breakfast, but she's all made her push-up bra and she's like, hmm. And it's like, no, she's just wandering around from like in between one of her two baths of a morning. I do tend to,
Starting point is 00:16:13 I tend to cook in very few clothes with my apron on because I don't like to get my clothes dirty No, yeah So it's fun to be a little bit Oh, it's fun
Starting point is 00:16:23 Why you have aprons If you gotta wear clothes I know, right? That's what the pubs are for To protect your genitals Pubes are there for splash You think I have pubs? No, no, I mean either
Starting point is 00:16:34 I mean either Wait, you've none No, we'll do the extras We'll do it the extras You have to pay for that info Remind us in the extras Please, M, that the question was, do we or do we not have pubes?
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yes, we'll be discussing in the extras. What are we doing with our pubes this season, ladies? Yes, it is. The winter cometh. What else is going? Jeans, I'm wearing jeans again. I haven't worn them in age. Oh, can you also remind me I've got a very upsetting picture
Starting point is 00:16:59 to show Catherine of the hairs on the back of my thigh? What? I don't want to see that. No, no, you do. I don't. I don't. I didn't. And even, even they were like,
Starting point is 00:17:07 Whoa. I'm not sure, baby. Not a bit much. That's a bit much. It was a bit much. Okay, so hot chucky, porridge, blankets, hot water bottles. Yes. Always the favourite one.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Pushing people into piles of leaves, ideally that you know. I think that's a good one. I'm really enjoying taking the dog on walks because she loves the leaves. Doggy and leaving. She loves the leaves. And also I really enjoying bringing nuts to the park, which I feed the squirrels. Wait, you are. I got my coats out.
Starting point is 00:17:39 What London are you living in? where you're going for a walk with a borrow my doggie dokey playing in the leaves and then handing a woolnought to a squirrel. Not on the same walk because the dog chases the squirrels, no. I either take the dog on a leafy walk
Starting point is 00:17:53 or when I'm going to the park by myself because I got my winter coats out and I found a pack that I had of fruit and nuts in there that I used to bring to the park and I reminded me. No, no, no, just like actual just fruit and nut.
Starting point is 00:18:03 It doesn't always have to have chocolate involved and I take it to the park and I feed the squirrels and they love it. I just don't think. No, I just, I've never, like. On your morning walk? I mean, I like feeding the parakeets in St. James's Park.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah, gorge. Like, are you breaking an apple and holding up and hanging out with the green birds? Like, everyone I tell this to, acts like I'm joking. But yeah, I take nuts to the park. Because you're not a Disney princess. Well, that's the day. Also, Catherine, me and Chloe Pets once were in Crystal Palace Park, and we saw a man trying to feed a squirrel, it latched onto his finger.
Starting point is 00:18:38 And he, like, swung it around. Like, it was biting his. finger. What? Squirrels aren't like they're rodents. You had to go to the hospital, I'm sure. It's a rat.
Starting point is 00:18:47 It's a rat. You shouldn't do that. No, I, no, I feed them so that there's not as far away from me and they just take it and then run away. And then she goes, ah, ah. And then it runs up and there's a plat in her hair. And she's like, stop touching me. Does nobody feed the...
Starting point is 00:19:01 No one, no one does, apart from like absolute freaks. I know, I'm not feeding the birds. I'm not feeding the birds, I'm not crazy. Why is feeding the birds freaky? It's feeding the birds more normal. Feeding the birds more. Eating the mark is so normal. It's a song.
Starting point is 00:19:14 But have you ever seen squirrels get like an almond or a cashew something they haven't had before? They freak out. They're like, this is a nut. This is delicious. No, no. You're wrong. You're wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I think this is genuinely odd and I'm genuinely weird that I'm on the side of this. I will then put the nuts down for them because I don't want the rabies clutching. But relax. Come feed me nuts if you want to feed something nuts. I think you're good. Okay, I think other autumn things you can do
Starting point is 00:19:41 Okay. Go on. Ice skating. Ice skating is not for me. I'm very risk-averse. What I am loving, back into the season of, don't we ever go in the summer, but I'm loving being back at the cinema.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, it's a nice time of year to go to the cinema, isn't it? Have you aged? It's cold out. 20 years. To be honest with you, from an hour ago. No, I'm just saying it's a fun time to go to the cinema because it's all, like, it's all cozy and nice. No?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Okay. What the fuck is happening? Cheeseboards? Cheeseboards are back, babe. Cheeseboards? Is that young? Are you listening to this crap? Okay, yeah, cheeseboards. I don't really... I'm not first about cheeseboards. But like...
Starting point is 00:20:21 Okay. Okay. I was just saying. No, no, I'm sorry. You need this. You need this more than I do, clearly. No, I'm just trying to give you all at home and I... Cheeseboards. Pumpkin candles. Movies.
Starting point is 00:20:32 What's your favorite movie at the moment? What have you watched? I feel judged by you and actually, I don't think that this feels like a safe space anymore. So listen, why do you tell me what your autumnal recommendations are? Fuck Helen Bauer. Our guest is here. Please, welcome to the podcast.

Starting point is 00:23:13 we were all expecting you but can you then picture us as I'll be I'll probably be the big sister because Catherine's quite immature today I'm the eldest in my family I'm obviously going to be the eldest in this dynamic okay so all we're saying is like whatever awful moments you found yourself in
Starting point is 00:23:30 between two sisters when you were younger you're now in it again right I'm the eldest of three my brothers a middle child what's it like being the brother of two sisters it's yeah it's not great why well older sister elder sister has started recently doing clowning which is very much my turn not that i do clowning i just stand still and tell one line that's close enough to my world right whoa my little sister little hannah he meant it's funnier than me oh even worse of you fucking kidding that's really first of all i thought you'd be more ashamed of the older sister doing clowning rather than like worried
Starting point is 00:24:06 She was too close in herodry. But the younger one's funnier than you? I think so. It's what people seem to say. I think so. People keep saying it. No, Catherine, she was funny. She was quick.
Starting point is 00:24:16 And she was very hungover. She was on a low airpoint. You were really low. And she was still like fucking. You have to think a lot to get a hangover at 18. She okay. Wow. Well, we were doing Reading and I got a free ticket.
Starting point is 00:24:29 So I thought, obviously, I'm not a teenager. So I don't actually want to be at a Reading Festival. Very grateful to be there. But like, yeah. Thank you. I was 31 and I had a lovely time. So I don't know why this is what I'm coming from. But I thought like 18, you know, that's like,
Starting point is 00:24:42 I got a ticket from my little sister and then she hated it because she was just, she was, she was, yeah, yeah. She was in a 10, everyone was really young, everyone else was 18. Yeah, yeah. She was merely 17 men. She couldn't keep up with the 18 year. Oh my God, that's so funny. And then that's the thing, because we were doing the gig on the Sunday.
Starting point is 00:25:00 We got to sort of shepherd her backstage and there was like a sofa and some hummus. Yeah. that she refused to acknowledge that her brother was really cool because he had his own cabin backstage. That's so funny. Because she was not going to let him have it. But you can tell that she was also like 100% messaging people of being like, I'm backstage.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I got 100% tell that she was loving it. Just eating snacks in the trailers. I know about it. My brother's got two sisters and I think he thrived with it. Yeah, my kid. But he does flinch when either of us come close to him. Like still, he's like, because I think he should suffer because he treated us so badly there were periods that he would like do really like use his words a very manipulative
Starting point is 00:25:42 boy ted actually very manipulative boy i remember he would do this thing where like mum would be like right i will give you a pound ted if you tidy your room and then i wouldn't hear that and then he'd go like helen i'll give you 20 p if you tied my room and i was like 20 p what and he's like and i'll double it if you do everything else um i want you to do for a day and i'd be like oh my god amazing i don't mind I'll tidy for 40p but then I'd tidy the room it would take like 20 minutes or something and then the rest of the day he owned me so he would make me stand up and then he'd push me on the ground
Starting point is 00:26:16 but I had to get back like burpees but with violence and then I'd eventually cry and quit and he'd be like well you've got to pay the quitting fee so then I'd have to give him 50p and then he walks away £1.50 with a tidy room with just a tired arm and I'm just ruined I'm in ribbon. Have you considered that You could have made different choices.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I was so little. How much old was he? I was like 14. He was 16? 14. 14. I was fully. I was like,
Starting point is 00:26:47 what the hell? I was the oldest trick of the comedy book. I still just fell for it. He's not. He said. We were like, 14! I would say genuinely my brother did well from having two sisters because he,
Starting point is 00:26:58 no, because he's so good at talking to women. Like, he's really capable in all those, in spaces that are like, female heavy he's so good at it and he's like funny he's emotionally articulate
Starting point is 00:27:10 oh that's not translated to me none no that's not what you got from look at it I don't think it's just like as expressive as I get genuinely it's I've never like you are English too though so that's going to kind of counterbalance
Starting point is 00:27:23 some of the emotional articulation yeah that's true what do you think you did learn from having two sisters what did I learn emotional maturity yeah emotional maturity trying to think what people do that.
Starting point is 00:27:36 What should I have learned from my sister? I guess some TV programs that they watch that I wouldn't have watched. Wait, what were you watching? My eldest sister got me into ballet when I was like three. Whoa. I then fell out of ballet
Starting point is 00:27:47 when I went to school and it became like less socially acceptable which I guess is a shame. Oh, that's not really good. You want to be a ballet ballet? Yeah. Yeah, it's a shame, isn't it? Did you do it outside of school
Starting point is 00:27:56 or do you just like watching? Yeah, look. I can do good toes, bad toes, still. Sorry, I mean, that's not really. I believe it's good toes, naughty toes as well, is it? I'll show you. Good time. No,
Starting point is 00:28:10 no, that's naughty to then. Good time. Very nice. And then the teacher would be like, amazing, Helen, you're the lead in Coppelia. And I'd be like, that's the ballet.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Wow. I'm sorry that you lost out on that. That's because of patriarchal norms in school. It's a real bad story. You grew up watching like Gilmore girls and Buffy one of those boys, what are you? No, but I did watch some,
Starting point is 00:28:32 I'm trying to think with my sister, like the Princess Diaries. I think I've watched that a few times. The movie? I think so. Without Hathaway? Maybe. The seminal piece of cinema that was...
Starting point is 00:28:40 Is it good? Is it good? Genovia. What do we... Mia Thermopolis Rinaldi. I just mean... Mia! Is there a scene where they're eating some soup and it's got a G in it or something?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Yeah! Is there... The Genovia! You buy a pair of socks, that's two socks. buy a pair of Bombas socks, that's four socks. Because one purchased is one donated. Sox are the number one most requested clothing item in homeless shelters. So when you buy a pair of super comfortable Bombas socks, you're also donating a pair. Bombas customers have powered over 150 million donations. So Bombas would like to thank you 150 million times, but we only have like 30 seconds. Go to Bombas.com and use code audio for 20% off your first purchase. That's BOMBAS.com and use code audio at checkout. Pair soup. Is that what it is? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:35 This is all coming back to me now. And even more. Julie Andrews. Behind the scenes gossip on that scene from the film. Oh my God. Anne Hathaway as Princess Amelia Minuet Renaudi Femopoulos, I think that's a full name, is wearing a purple, like, jacket over a purple dress. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Which is based off Princess Victoria's dress, who is the Crown Princess of Sweden. And she wore it the same summer they were filming. She wore it? Whoa. She wore it? She wore it? She wore it? She wore it?
Starting point is 00:30:03 She wore it? War. Yeah. Like... She wore it. W-O-R-E. Close, though. Walled it.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Ward it. Yeah, because it's in the past. She wore it. She wore it. No, she wore it. I've got a point. You know what? You've embarrassed you.
Starting point is 00:30:19 What's happened there, Catherine, is you've embarrassed yourself. You've made it. Warn it, warn it. She'd warn it or she wore it. She'd warn it. She'd warn it. She wore it. Look, I feel.
Starting point is 00:30:32 the brother energy from him right now we both looked at him and you didn't know where to look so you went down yeah it's just a submissive boy that's what you learned from your sister's submission yeah whipped into shape from a young age yeah did you watch legally blonde um i think i might have seen a bit of it i'm really bad with films though yeah i'm concerned now that your education around film is poor charlie's angels no i've genuinely seen like i know it's like people like yeah i don't watch any films but like the only film i've really seen that i've like loved was chicken run which to be Fair, is a good film.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And we were talking about this yesterday. Well, yeah. It's an absolute classic. It's one of the best, I think it's literally the best film ever. Oh my God. So, Chloe Pett said, which I think is true, it stands the test of time. It does. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And you know that there's a chicken run too coming in 2020. I'm well excited. Is there? Dawn of the Nugget. Dawn of the Nucket. No, that's not the name of the film. Dawn of the Nugget. How did you not know this?
Starting point is 00:31:28 No one seems to know, but it's been like, there's been controversy and everything around the Hastings. It's been so excited. What's the controversy? Well, where's Gibson? Is he in it? Is he not? Julia being too old by the park was a serious. Oh, come on. She's in, but like there was an actual conversation about that. Get fucked.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Oh, is she in now? Yeah, I think so. Good to hear. Oh, yeah. Happy about that. I know, I know. Do you know what the storyline is? I can't still be on the... Nick Mohamed's in? Yeah, I think Ramesh. Ramesh is in, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big comedy chub. Just too, sorry, I do, I love chicken
Starting point is 00:32:02 run, so let's not get angry with Helen. Just as a little reminder, because it's been a little bit of a while. So the film ends and it's no longer a pie farmer. It's an egg farm, right? No, it went from egg to pie. Yeah, but the end of the film, they'd gone back to the pie. No, they're not even on the farm. They build a plane and they fly out, and then they end up living in a field.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Oh, they find a field. Yeah. Oh, my God. Now you can remember something you can remember a movie when it's about chickens, huh? Absolutely. When it's about women. I love the chicken rung. Because that's the one with the Scottish chicken
Starting point is 00:32:37 that does all the science. And then who plays the American chicken, the rooster? That's Tom, no. Is that? Mel Gibson, yeah. Mel Gibson is in it? No, he's not in number two. That's our point.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But what we were saying yesterday is that there have to be some queer. There presumably have to be some queer chickens this time, right? In that female heaviest space, we were saying? Like, there's no way there's no. You say like when it's a film about women, but that's got like so many female, like strong female characters in it.
Starting point is 00:33:06 You're willing to watch a film about women if they're chicken. Only if they're animated chickens. Hey now. Let me just end my cartoon. Those chicks are all women. Wait, what's the name? Nugget.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Nugget. The dawn of the nugget. They can't be turning them into nuggets, can they? That would be awful. I reckon someone's trying. I reckon it's obviously. Yeah. It's definitely nugget related.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Spoiler. Oh my God. Okay, I'm excited for this. This is a really good time to be alive. because Inside Out are doing a sequel as well. What? Did you hear this? So I've not cried in like 10 years because I can't.
Starting point is 00:33:37 But then I watched that film and I was welling up. Are you okay, Jamie? No. No, I'm fine, but I can't like. So you've watched Chicken Run and Inside Out? Yeah. Citizen Kane? No.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I mean, I hate it. Bridge over the River Kwai. I'm just going to name Classics. Little women. Yes. There we go. I have seen that. Which one?
Starting point is 00:33:59 The new one. Nice. Okay. Yeah, yeah, it was good. With Sir Sharonan, I would highly recommend the Winona Ryder. The original one. Oh, my God. I don't think it's the OJ, but it's one of my OJs.
Starting point is 00:34:10 So you don't like films. Do you read a lot? No. What's you doing with your time, Jamie? What's up to? I actually, I know what he does with his time. What's he do? I have spent some time with Chelsea Backby recently.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Oh, no. And apparently you've got really into pranking. No, just my friend. Oh, yeah, did she tell you about the pranks? She just told me you're pranking at the moment. And I went, I would like. You're pranking like it's 2004. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:34 No, but we do nice pranks. We're not like jackass. What are nice pranks? We made a fake podcast. I'm going to say about that. Who was that nice for? She went, Jamie's really into pranking. And then I was like, I'll talk to him about it.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Because pranking can be one of two things. Either you're going for like a really fun whimsy phase or you're having a breakdown and you just need to act out like a child. And I wanted to see if I could figure it out. I think it might be the latter. Okay. One prank we did is. You know, Mark Bittlestone?
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So he's my mate. I was emceeing a gig, and he was turning up late. Uh-huh. So I told the audience that every time he did a joke, someone should just whisper really loudly that they've heard another comic do that bit before. Oh, that's a real.
Starting point is 00:35:19 It's a nice, prank. How is that nice? No, it's not nice. But he's my mate. He must have had a breakdown on the stage. So he did his first bit, which I'll be honest, was about being a gay orphan. And then someone just whispered by like, James A. Caster does that. Oh, yeah, Ake has to speak a bit about being a gay outfit.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Oh my God. One really good prank, but two, if the metric is nice. Oh, lovely cool. Have you ever been pranked on stage? No, that's horrible. I've had it once. I don't know what happened. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I was, this is literally just like a month ago. Wait, were you affecting his, like, how he was being seen at this club? Oh, it was just like a new, it was like a new material night, so it's fine. Okay, cool. Can you imagine if you were, like, auditioning for some club and someone's, I'd be like, yeah oh my god you'd a hundred percent be like
Starting point is 00:36:04 what was that no it's not no it's oh yeah that prank would not have last along with me if anyone even breathes
Starting point is 00:36:10 oh really yeah what you say yeah he did that he had he laid into this guy because so the second one
Starting point is 00:36:17 so we start off it's genuinely a very funny comic yeah oh great very lovely boys feels a bit of material though
Starting point is 00:36:22 though oh no no loads is my iPad yeah yeah yeah so the second person he did another bit
Starting point is 00:36:29 which wasn't even a new bit but then someone went oh i've seen joe lice it do that bit and then the guy he said it was another comic who'd booked him for his night before oh i was like you see me do this bit before you book me why not tell me that before you book me why not tell me that on stage his face went bright red and the third one was joe pasquale he's done that a bit before joe per squirely yeah i think at that point he realized it might be a prank and then he found out we had a nice little hug on stage and he found it very funny so he wasn't we know Never take it too far.
Starting point is 00:37:02 I think it's quite funny, actually. That is too far. That's too far. You're not a pranky person though. Yeah, some people just aren't into pranks and that's, we wouldn't prank them. I would be furious. Yeah. I've only been pranked on stage once and this was just literally a couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I don't know whether I said this in the podcast already. It was my, you know what? So I went to Oslo, obviously, and then I went to the hospital. But I did one gig there, one gig. Yeah. And it was the first night. And obviously the whole show is in Norwegian, the whole show, apart from when I. I speak.
Starting point is 00:37:30 At latter. Yeah. At Lotto. Lotto. Lotto. Lotto. And so the guy was bringing me on and like I found out afterwards.
Starting point is 00:37:39 But so like it was just a normal night, right? A lovely club gig where they just like clap and the comedian goes on. But he clearly said to them, the next act is English. They're going to be speaking English. They have no idea what's going on right now so we can do whatever we want. So when I call their name, I want you all to lose your minds and stand up.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Which obviously means that I'm at the back of the room going, okay well first night first time in it like every time you're gig in a new country always like god god knows god knows this is going to work or like maybe their most famous comedian has a bit that's really similar to this like everything goes through your mind that's awful and then i'm walking up and they're all losing their mind to the point where i'm like oh god did he just say like sarah silverman or something do you know what i mean we're like i don't know like are they like i'm going to oh am i going to walk on and they're going to be like we were we we we thought it was amy schumery serious but then like and then i do the gig and i was like on stage being like oh my god thank you
Starting point is 00:38:29 thank you so much because I had arrived and they were all still clapping and I was like oh my God maybe maybe they've all seen my clip on live with the Apollo
Starting point is 00:38:38 or something it must have just I must be really big here and I was like oh my God it was so weird and I almost had anything at the airport
Starting point is 00:38:45 when I landed and you think I would have mentioned if I was famous here so I'm like oh my God thank you you can sit down thank you so much
Starting point is 00:38:52 I did my set and luckily went good but they must have all been like oh she did I genuinely thought that was for her because I did not pick up on the matter. How would you think otherwise? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:04 So I was like, oh, and at the end of the kick, I was like, oh my God, like, what did you say to them before I went on? And he was like, oh, I just said it'd be really funny if we all stood up and you had no idea what's happening. But I'd never seen anyone take it that way. And I was like, I'll kill myself.
Starting point is 00:39:20 And then coincidentally, next day, got a viral infection at the top of my stomach and couldn't go back. And I was like, you know what, I was fucking saved. Their only experience of me is this English girl arrived, did a gig, thought she was really famous, left and then never returned to the club again. Sort of beautiful karma to that prankster
Starting point is 00:39:40 because now it looks like he bullied you out of the workplace. I'd be like, I hope he messaged you and was like, sorry, is this because of the standing ovation? Not why I messaged him. But I'm really sorry, I'm not going to be down to. But the worst thing is, like, even knowing that they'd been told to do it, I was still like,
Starting point is 00:40:00 felt really good. Yeah, no, no doubt, no doubt. It's like when you find out when you're little that like someone was told to invite you to their birthday party and you're supposed to be embarrassed, you're like, still got the party, right, though. I'm not going to feel like any fucking. Yeah, the pity invites.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Yeah, yeah. You still get cake. You still get cake. You get cake. You still that. Can I hear another prank? Do you have any others? Or are they all too shameful?
Starting point is 00:40:23 No, no. I'm not ashamed of any of them. You're not doing clings. film on the toilet you're jane no that's you're in your 20s now i don't want you doing that my boy but um what yeah that is great no i would it yeah i yeah i don't you're doing that too no i don't like any i don't like any jokes that are about toilet stuff genuinely i can't i get disgusted so easily correct i stuff like so i could never do a prank correct on the lines of that so if i start talking about anal worms stop it stop it stop it
Starting point is 00:40:51 Yeah, okay, well. I've done that before. Maybe I could understanding this, people. But what other pranks? I made a fake, this might be too like comedy and everything. I made a fake podcast with, it sounds like they're all about Mark. Actually, a lot of them are. Are you secretly in love with Mark?
Starting point is 00:41:10 He is, but let's let the audience cover up that. We won't do it. Okay. Yeah, maybe I should tell him before. Oh, just send him this podcast. Mark, he loves you. Hi, Mark. Hey, Mark.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Hey, Mark, Mark, you're right. Hi, Mark, you're all right? You're not emoting, can you? This is the man he loves most in the world, a passionate love. Hey, Mark, you're all right? Hello. Do you want to say hi to your sisters as well? You're all right?
Starting point is 00:41:37 He just did a thumbs up for the women he's shared a uterus with. Okay, go on? Yeah, yeah. I assume. No, you're around, you're around, eggs are around, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's true. What practice? So we made...
Starting point is 00:41:48 Crazy presumptuous as me, actually. I made a fake podcast. called Eyes on the Industry. Did you see this? And it was, can I show your picture? Yes, I... Did you see this? No, I didn't...
Starting point is 00:41:58 Was that you? Yeah, that was me. I swear I heard about this podcast. Was that real? No, it's real that I made it. Can I show you a picture? Can I get my phone out? Of course.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Yeah, obviously. Why are you looking at me like for permission? Because I thought you were in charge. I obviously am, correct. But it was the fear. I'm raising my C. Fear with which she was like... I don't like you and Catherine
Starting point is 00:42:18 gets seen as the main one. So if anyone just listening and not watching on you. I have raised my seat 10 inches. To be clear, it's not that I'm the main one. You occupy the most time and space, but I'm obviously in charge of the situation. You can just feel you like it'll never be effective
Starting point is 00:42:31 because I'm in charge. Oh, my God. So this is the pocket, so it's called Eyes on the Industry podcast. Can we show the... Oh, absolutely, yeah. Oh, my God. Steve Bennett, who's a reviewer for Chortle and Mark Bittleston with guest, Molly McGinnis.
Starting point is 00:42:45 A weekly look, the inner workings of the comedy industry. A biweekly look. A biweekly. Fiveweekly, that's so fun. Can you see it him? That's so funny. This is so comedy, inside comedy. Yeah, but what we do is we'd get Molly to share it on our story, but hide it from Mark.
Starting point is 00:43:04 So basically Mark was the last person to know that he had this podcast and we got Finlay to do it. We've got Alex Kitson to do it, Millie Haswell. Oh my God. She is so funny. Millie Haswell. Oh, yeah, she's great. I gave her the other day for the first time she was incredible. If you're at home and you're like, wait what?
Starting point is 00:43:19 this is like, imagine Annie, a comedian like pairing up with a reviewer who savages, you know, all of the other members of the industry as is his job, but like not always if you're good, like, well, if he thinks you're good, that's not the case. But my point is like for a, like a relatively new comedian
Starting point is 00:43:35 to have a podcast with a very established review, which seems to just be like I guess I assume slagging off the industry as I presume you would assume it to be. And that seems... A professional graphic of them being the co-host of this podcast. I've had it shared by several comedian saying professional you're welcome
Starting point is 00:43:51 comedians would be like hey yeah well someone messaged mark being like hey like are you booking for guests at the moment that feels for a bit like this oh I don't want to say you better tell me after you better tell us after I'll tell you after and it's like I remember a while ago yeah yeah I'll get you on yeah what the fuck babe we do it together we do it together book us both yeah the crossover episode nice Can we do it now because I'm on tour? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Thank you. Ages ago, there was like, right, do you remember when, like, people would sort of like, back in the day, I'm not going to say the word because it's like an abhorrent thing to say, but like people would take someone's Facebook and they'd log in and they'd do a status. And it was called, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Yeah, we're in the blanks. And it was like a really common thing to do. And then there was like a little period, I'd say Edinburgh, 2018 and 2019, when comedians do the other than Twitters. Oh, no. Like people, someone would leave their phone on a table. They'd be drunk late in the courtyard and they'd post something.
Starting point is 00:44:54 And there were some mad ones about like, like, people like chucking out reviewers or like, I pulled all my shows because no one's coming. I'm used to say anyway. Oh my God. But the best one was one of like, it was a couple that had been together for years. I'll tell you who they are afterwards. You don't know already. And they like put up a message being like, look, we've broken up.
Starting point is 00:45:15 But like, I don't want to say exactly why, but it's not good. what they've done. I'm moving on. I just want everyone to know. But it insinuing. That's evil. That's not a prank. That's like libel.
Starting point is 00:45:28 But I read it and I was like, oh my God. This is insane. Because it's like you only see these things like once in a lifetime, right? It's like when I'm Judith one who wants to be a millionaire. And you just knew you were in, you were living a moment. Yeah, it's so true.
Starting point is 00:45:51 But it's also like, the problem is, like recently, another couple in comedy did break up and put up a joint status on Twitter. Yes. But they actually had broken up and everyone was like, lo, I imagine. And in my head, I was like, pah! That's funny.
Starting point is 00:46:06 And it was like, oh no, they did. They did. Oh, that one I got. That one I got. I didn't get that. I was just like, lulled. And then I was like, oh no, they did. They actually, oh my God, they are really.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Maybe it's because you guys don't have such high emotional intelligence as I do that chicken run is the film that bestates with both of you most and I genuinely I love chicken run.

Starting point is 00:49:41 Helen you're pretty what's wrong with you I don't know. What did you have at lunch? Was it a lemonade? You were with me. But you had a large coffee and then a lemonade. Is that what you had?
Starting point is 00:49:51 I went to the Mumbai Street Kitchen and they had Limca, which is a really lovely, like, lemonade, very sugary drink from India. Yeah, you're not allowed to have that again. And I never see Limca. Limca's never anywhere. I thought I had a limka.
Starting point is 00:50:05 That might be it. I don't know if they've got sugar taxes in India that control how much sugar goes into something. I reckon no. I think no as well. Have you ever had an Indian suite? Yeah, I go to have gem on? Oh my God, just one of them in instant diabetes.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Sunil started buying packs of them at home. You're not allowed to do any of that. And he's basically just two balls in this fat of melted sugar. And because Sunil has no energy ever. Like, even after that, he's like, do you go for a walk? A walk? Okay. Take a breath.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Take a breath. Ooh, I'm very excited. We're going to do a new problem, focus. Make some more warder, please. Not DJ me. I can, you can, you can. My ward, oh, it's... Yeah, we've got some, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:56 My chair went back down again. I didn't think it was working. Okay, sorry. Okay, this is from Elle. Hi, Elle. Hey, Trusty Hogs. Just want to say thank you for the podcast and the many laughs on long and tiring days.
Starting point is 00:51:06 You're welcome. I've recently taken up competing in powerlifting these last couple of months. Fucking yes! Nice. And have been told I have the chance of qualifying for nationals in November. Oh, my God. Is that like regionals and pitch path at that sort of like level?
Starting point is 00:51:20 Yeah, I would assume so. Sick. But I'm finding it really difficult when everyone around me is telling me not to do it and saying I'm mad doing it, as I travel from Essex to London five times a week after an eight-hour workday. I find it especially difficult as I'm currently living back at home as I've just dropped out of uni and I'm being constantly asked what I'm planning on doing and have no idea. Lifting staff. I was wondering how I'm meant to keep doing.
Starting point is 00:51:42 it when it feels like everyone's telling me not to. What the hell do you hear our reaction? Oh my God. Yeah, I just really want to like... She must be hard as nails. Yeah. Who's having to go at her? Who's wrong with your fucking people around you? Yeah, that's insane.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Look, here's the only question that matters, Elle. Do you want to do it? Because if you want to do it, it's so cool, it's so impressive. It takes such commitment to take such hard work. It's so badass. Fucking do it. And bear in mind that your living situation is not permanent,
Starting point is 00:52:09 but your sense of self is and your identity is and your ambition and hobbies are and also maybe have a word with the people around you and say this is really important to me what would be lovely is if their concern is
Starting point is 00:52:21 that seems really hard for you you explain the only thing that's making it harder is the lack of support and then you ask them to respect your commitment to something that's fine that's what it is because when someone goes like oh you've dropped out of uni
Starting point is 00:52:36 and you know you're living back at home and all you're doing is going to London and picking up pieces of metal And it's like, yeah, because it makes me fucking happy and I'm good at it. It's like, why are you making it sound like something? Do you know what I mean? Like I know.
Starting point is 00:52:47 I'm because I'm the best in the country. I'm not just good at it. I'm the best in the fucking country. Yeah. And it takes massive commitment, training, probably dietary constraints, like lots of like effort. Yeah. And also it's not something that's like women or like,
Starting point is 00:53:00 like, I don't know whether not this person is female, but like whoever it is. It's like, that's not a thing most people can do. Yes. Yeah. It's very exciting. And I think you should, um, ditch everyone in your life.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I think we're doing. Just pick him up. Yeah. Lobbam. Grab machine style. Yeah. Nice. God, we are on fire today, Jamie.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Problem southern wise. Go and watch the first toy story film fans. Yes. He's seen it. He's seen it. Sid and Andy go to Pizza Planet. And the aliens are in the
Starting point is 00:53:31 claw. And you get a big claw. Their claw. And you get the claw to come and pick up all of your friends and family. family, all you all love ones. I like that.
Starting point is 00:53:43 And you dump them in the Irish sea. No, look, here's the thing. The Irish thing. You explain to your family that it matters to you that at the moment when you are feeling adrift, it's giving you a sense of purpose and self. A drift at the Irish sea. Yeah, we're on the same pay.
Starting point is 00:53:55 You know what? And you can't stop the punning. Okay. And you just do what you want. If you don't want to do it, obviously by all means, don't do it. But if you want to do it, then you need to explain to those people
Starting point is 00:54:04 what it means to you at the minute and then ask them to fucking get on board or at the very least. The claw. Say nothing. And if they don't think you'd say, the claw. It's not the claw, guys. But yeah, but a sidebar, can we go back to our initial reaction,
Starting point is 00:54:17 which is what you should be hearing when you say that you do that, which is, wow! That's so cool! Lifting is so cool! Also, follow Jess Foster Q. Fan Brady. These are powerlifting comedians. They're so cool.
Starting point is 00:54:31 And it's so impressive. That's so bad. And Guinness Book of World Records, there's always a page of people who could lift big things on that. Yeah. Yep. Yeah I think it's amazing well done
Starting point is 00:54:45 none of this negative chat that's absolutely nonsense also Essex isn't that far away why are we acting like you're not coming from Yorkshire every day it's fine it's fine
Starting point is 00:54:53 even Yorkshire to London I think's fine no that would be even Scotland that's a two hour six minute journey absolutely fine there's no distance I think that
