Starting point is 00:00:19 Download today. Hello! The year is 1968, and it's episode 68 of Trustee Hodge. The year is 2023. 20th, 3. Okay. Happy January. To all of you, little hoggies.
Starting point is 00:00:39 My name's Catherine Boehart. And she's Helen Bauer. And we are doing a podcast where we talk about ourselves. Why won't you try to do it nice and light? I am genuinely trying. I am jet-lacked. Hello, welcome to January 2023, episode 68. She's Helen Bauer.
Starting point is 00:00:54 I'm Catherine Bower. This is our podcast where, frankly, we pretend our lives are going better than they are so that then you feel bad. We have to help you with your little problems, but ultimately we're all in this shit together. Hello. I'm thriving. Through the fog, step forth the trusty hogs. Yeah, you're going to give them your problems and they will solve them or maybe they won't and that's your problem.
Starting point is 00:01:20 They'll have guests and Andrew White on the tech. Oh, it's Helen and Catherine as the trusty. Hugs, trust the trusty hogs, or maybe not. Welcome to trusty hogs. Hi! Right, what the fuck? No, no, no. What the fuck were you doing going to a football match yesterday?
Starting point is 00:01:43 There is no sex that is good enough to make you stand in the cold in January for a football match and then to have the audacity to say to all of us, me, M and Andrew this morning, I had the perfect day. I had a perfect day. No. Can I tell you for why? Okay, explain why. right first of all You had a hot line about it
Starting point is 00:02:01 and you I'm so sorry yesterday was my accent so bad no first of all yesterday was the first day I got
Starting point is 00:02:07 fun on my fucking face for what feels like five month so that that was good also in essence
Starting point is 00:02:12 we were late for the football so we rocked up we were like 10 minutes late we watched half an hour football
Starting point is 00:02:16 which to me is just when was women's football just checking out lesbians yeah both on and off the pit very exciting
Starting point is 00:02:23 that feels very derivative then we what I would just say that feels very derivative I feel like we should be
Starting point is 00:02:29 watching them for their sport and not their boobies. Do you mean objectifying? What's derivative then? It means like you're like copying something from something else. Like if it's derivative like your comedy is derivative from like somebody else that would be you copying
Starting point is 00:02:42 them. Do you mean? Not Amy Schumer. No, I didn't want to say and listen I stopped at the end of the sentence and allowed you to fill in. And the thing is... Okay
Starting point is 00:02:55 that feels very objectifying Catherine. Yeah for sure and listen I do it to the men as well. So I really do. But then every lesbian I knew was there, I couldn't move for lesbians being there. Even though lesbians I didn't run into, were messaging me, Chloe Petz, being like, we're here.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Well, actually Chloe Pets didn't message me. Oh, the cock did. So, Chloe, yeah. So what, like, East London Lesbian Central? East London Lesbian Central. A ladies football. Obviously. And then, and then I went straight to Friends House and played Articulate, and we won. Okay, that's more of a Catherine book. I can see why that's the perfect day, because
Starting point is 00:03:27 there's competition, there's a win and there's words like right it was like check out hot lesbians get a bit of fun on my face now let's do the real business of playing a proper sport articulate off of you and it was joyful and joyous and I had a lovely day that's a nice day actually I just can't believe you went to the football and thrived I know and also like can we talk about me having a Sunday that was wholesome and a day off and I went to bed at like 10 bm and I was so I was really lovely there's no reason for me to be feeling as sad as I am and yet here we find ourselves why is January kicking my ass I know I Know this.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I know this. It's kicking my asshole. It's, right. Physically, the, yeah, it's kicking you in the asshole. It's kicking my asshole, rectum bum. There's God's puts up your anus. It won't stop kicking my blood hole. The toe's stuck.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It's in me. Yeah. It's in me. Yeah. There's January's toes in my rectum. Why is my poo not coming out? Oh, no. It's coming out my mouth.
Starting point is 00:04:21 January. January is blocking the way. Right. You are lacking in vitamins very significantly because you haven't received. And I know you got like, 30 minutes of sunlight on your face or whatever. It's not the same. It's so important to have sunlight.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I would recommend a blood test. And I love that I'm in control of this, because I've had so many mental breakdowns around this time of year that I've only figured it out like three years ago. Question? Go for it. Can you just ask for a blood test?
Starting point is 00:04:46 You can if you're like significantly struggling with your mental health in January, which, no doctor, but you in a bad way, girl. Catherine said. And I usually arrive crying. And Catherine was like, no, no, no. And I was like, oh, look who's in a miserable mood. I tried to do that thing when I was like, can we not talk about me?
Starting point is 00:05:06 But that's so unusual for me that everyone was like, what? And then I was like, also my first instinct was to sing, I just can't wait to be king from the Lion King to cheer you up. And you just started a conversation with them. I did. It was quite cold, actually. Yeah, no, I can still be with it. You can get a blood test when you're really struggling with mental health.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And often they find that you're like significantly lacking in a vitamin. And you know the vitamin D supplements, the ones you can buy, off the shelf. They're good but they are like 20,000 unit pills which makes such a difference. Oh really? If your brain, and it's just like a quick prescription, you can also get a spray that goes straight into your bloodstream which is
Starting point is 00:05:41 fucking sick. And I find that makes such a difference. Is this spray prescription as well? No, I don't know. Holland and Barrett, bitch. Okay, can we go there after? Yeah, we can go there afterwards. Okay, but anyway, I'm fine and you went to the actual... If Andrew cared about us, he'd probably go now. Wow, that's quite...
Starting point is 00:05:57 Andrew, you go to Oxford Street and by Helen and Catherine Vitam. Yeah, because Catherine's very sad. Look at the state of her. Look at the state of her. Look at her. I can smell her from here. I haven't watched it as like nine days.
Starting point is 00:06:10 She's in a bad way. Hey, that's nine days. Yeah, my hair really does look like fire when it's dirty. Hey, here's the thing. I think Andrew does a job when we're doing the podcast. Like, I think he does actually stop. What's sitting there pressing his buttons. Yeah, well, you don't put it like that.
Starting point is 00:06:25 I can mute your mic. No, no, not again. So, okay, so you went to the source and got some vitamin D. So I thrived. And I don't mean you got fucked. I mean you went to Florida. Flowrider! How was it?
Starting point is 00:06:37 How was it? It was everything in the entire world. Wait, hang on. Do you get it? I know. The artist Flowriders from Florida, Flowrider. I know. I remember when I first found this out.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It was about 10 years ago. What? Wow. How derivative of you. No, still, no. No, because you're copying me not knowing 10 years ago, no? Kind of real stretch. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Bless you. Wow. Oh, wow. But he weren't there. Oh, not that I saw. Okay. So. Sorry, okay, I'm back with you.
Starting point is 00:07:14 That's, we're always learning. We're always learning. I went to Florida and then I went to Nashville. No, I did not see Brianna de Jesus from teen mom in Florida. And no, I did not see Macy book out from Teen Mum OG in Tennessee. That's a shame. It, they don't, they just wander around. It'd be hard to recognise Macy now.
Starting point is 00:07:32 She's like, we all changed, really changed it up, hasn't she? Absolutely not. You could totally recognise her by her husband Taylor or Bentley or the kids, Jade and Maverick. Wait, which husband is which? She doesn't have two husbands. No, Taylor. Okay, what about Ben, who's Bentley the son?
Starting point is 00:07:45 Her son, with Ryan. Ryan, I was trying to figure out Ryan's name. You are not a Teen Moji fan, baby. I did way better there than anybody expected behave yourself. Come on. Okay. I went to the magical kingdom. to Epcot
Starting point is 00:07:59 to Disney's Animal Kingdom otherwise known as Dak to the kids in the know was up and I also went to Hollywood Studios and then I went to Nashville and then we came back to Florida and we had one night to Phil
Starting point is 00:08:11 and we stayed in somewhere when we arrived there was water all over the floor and a bloody rag and I went you know what we stay because I've seen the Florida project and it's good to see both sides
Starting point is 00:08:19 of the state I was enchanted we went to Walgreens and we got khakis for dinner and I'm going to locked the door twice and I was like, I'm thriving. Okay. Taki's the Crisps. Yes. For dinner. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:33 They were more foiego. Like tacos. Spicy and sweet. Crisps. They're all kind of round crisps. Yeah, Gwyneth didn't like it. Why would you stay in a place that's flooded with blood on the floor? Because I was enchanted. You were hoping something bad would happen to you so you'd have a story.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Well, we, you weren't bad. I was like, Catherine would not let me stay here. You were trash. That's like, that is comedians. in 101 it's like I don't have a boyfriend and I haven't had a recent trauma so I'm going to say we stay in case somebody tries to be mean to me and then that's an entire Edinburgh premise let's go well Gwyneth had booked it and it was called monumental movie land and I was like that sounds monumental so like let's do it and she's like I don't know why it's like half the price of everywhere else and I was like I don't know either but maybe you just found a bargain and then we arrived and it's like oh I know why this is not good heavy lean on the men but let me tell you everything Okay, we arrive in Disney World Okay, oh that wasn't you telling me everything? No! Okay, we're getting into it.
Starting point is 00:09:33 We arrived at Disney World first day. On the 5th of January, flew in. Right, right, right. The morning of the 6th, I booked us into a Winnie the Pooh breakfast buffet at Crystal Palace at 8.30 a.m. Charming, okay. 8.30 a.m. Yes, well, it's good to get in early for breakfast
Starting point is 00:09:51 because then you get more time with the characters. Is everything honey themed? No. What? What do you mean honey themed? Oh, like Winnie the Pooh. No, that's his food. We mustn't eat it. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Yeah. Oh, fair enough. Had a coffee from a woman who'd worked there for 26 years, and boy, did she look every 26, although 26 years. Oh, my dad. Like, she'd worked there. Wow. I met all the Winnie the Pooh characters. Wasn't there a Disney Worker Strike just after you left?
Starting point is 00:10:15 Why did you keep saying Workers' Strike? But wasn't there? Andrew, could you please Google that? Disney World. No, they were very happy. No, it's awful working in Disney. The pay is really low in Disneyland. No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:10:25 They were loving it. Disneyland. Disneyland. It's Disney World. It's Disney World. Disney World, it's different. Disneyland. The workers all get treated really well.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Disney World. Sorry, okay. So, go on. I went on every ride. The only downside of Disney World is I could not meet a princess and it go well. Like, I'm putting it out there.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Bell's a fucking bitch. No, I'm sorry. Gwyneth filmed this and it was on your Instagram but it seemed like you were the problem. I went in to hug her and she went. Yeah, but you're... Like I was. going to hurt her. I understand she's a
Starting point is 00:10:59 petite woman and I've got a bigger frame and it might seem threatening. But I was so smiling. You pound it over there with your like heavy flat feet. You breathe really heavily. I've got a condition I breathe through my mouth. Yeah. And like your eyes needed too much. They meet kids who are dying all the time. Yeah, but those kids don't look at them like they're aroused. You looked aroused
Starting point is 00:11:17 and like you might like steal them. It's like a kidnapper vibe. I wasn't around. You're obviously aroused when you go in there. You are. It's the only time. It's really weird. I don't like it and I didn't like watching it actually. Are you serious? You think that's on me? I felt like you were the problem. I was excited. But that's also bad. Like you can't be
Starting point is 00:11:37 that excited. She shouldn't have shut it away from me. I paid my entrance. I deserve a cuddle. I deserve a cuddle. Yeah, but I think even saying that, right, no one normal's like walks into someone's workspace and says, I deserve a cuddle. I do it all the time, all the time. Yeah, and people have asked you to stuff going to their workplaces. I just think it's an intense.
Starting point is 00:11:57 vibe. Okay, well then I make Sleeping Beauty, who was a fucking cunt. I... What, Bell's a bitch and Sleeping Beauty's a cunt? Here we go. Stephen Beauty's a victim. She's been absolutely harangued her whole life by people. She didn't want it, she shouldn't have put a finger on that needle. I'm sorry, I'm anti-princess. I'm anti-princess now. I like Tigger. I like Winnie the Pooh. I like Eeyore. I like pigler. I like any character you can't see their face. I, the princesses can go fuck themselves. Stuck up fucking bitches. Do you not think that under the mask they've also giving you the same face?
Starting point is 00:12:27 No, they were enchanted by me. I could feel it. I could feel it. It's right. Sleep of Beauty, I'd had a bad meet with the princess and I was like, this one's going to be different, right? So I really... She's had a lot of non-consensual touch.
Starting point is 00:12:38 You coming in is not going to make her feel safe. Fuck off! I'm just saying, Sleeping Beauty has had a tough life and then here comes you. You know what I deserve a cuddle? All three of you have lost your Gifties now because of Catherine's attitude.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And it's a shame that as her friend, I have to yell at home, and she's in this mental health state, but you can be fucking put in a corner Oh, you look so cute, though. Thank you. You get your gift. I give me your gift.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Okay. Sorry, Helen. You're okay. You don't feel well. You don't feel well. Didn't your gift now? No, come on. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:09 So Sleeping Beauty, I was like, staying to all these Americans in the queue, or Yankees. What's up, local culture? And I was like, oh, I really want to meet a princess and how it go well. So I met Sleeping Beauty. And I was like, oh, I just really want to have a princess hug
Starting point is 00:13:21 that doesn't feel like super awkward. And I was like, can we give it a go? And she went, we can try. Ah! She is a bitch. Okay, take it back. We can't change. You can fucking try harder.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Try harder. I've flown a long way to be here. Cuddle me. Did you say that? No. You get, they're so beautiful. Did you say something about like how your mom didn't hug you enough or something? No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Did your eyes? I panicked. You said it with your eyes though. I, yeah, probably. Yeah. It's hard to meet a character whose face you can see and not freak out. We should have practiced more. before I went.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Yeah, because that's so fair. It was easier when they were in a distance or in a parade and you could just be like, Pocahontas, you're amazing. But like, if I was face to face with her, I'd be like, I don't know what to say. It's like star-struck. Sorry about the appropriation maybe or...
Starting point is 00:14:10 What appropriate. Oh, in Pocahontas, right. I thought you might think of beauty and I was like, come on that. No, yeah, Pocahontas. Oh, she had an awful time of it. Yeah, no, for sure. For you.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Gravesend. Terrible stuff. Hey, listen, I know, the worst thing that's going to happen to a person is to go to gravesend. Are you ready for your gifty? I think so, but wait a second. I have questions. About Nashville.
Starting point is 00:14:30 About the whole experience. Okay, yes. Did Gwyneth enjoy it? Yes, I'm sick of people asking this. Did she? Okay. We were getting like daily messages from Soneil being like, how's Gwyneth doing? Is Gwyneth okay?
Starting point is 00:14:42 I will say this. Gwyneth put a brave face on it. On the early morning, get up at 8 a.m. You're in the park until close four days in a row. Like, she lost the use of her feet by the end of it. That was her step count every day. About 28,000. Holy shipples.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Here's my second question. Apart from Miss Queen, it's okay. What's the best thing you ate? In Disney? Yeah. Oh my God. Okay, there were these cheeseburger spring rolls that were like literally incredible.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Wait a second. I need to go back. Spring rolls that have cheeseburgers inside of them. Cheeseburger spring rolls and it tastes like a Madonna's cheeseburger. And that was moi tasty. Moi tasty. We would also like to apologize for the appropriation.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Moy, isn't that very? I think... I think also the spring roll cheeseburger. Oh, no, it's fusion. It's Asian fusion. Bless you. But yeah, I can see what you did there. Asian fusion food.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Third question, thank you. I had a Mickey Waffle with... It's not colonialism, it's fusion. Oh, the best... Northern Ireland? Fusion. I, okay, I had a lot of snacks. I was really tripling down on them.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Okay, tell me. I'd say best sweet thing I had was a doll whip, float. which was like a rum, like pineapple juice drink with pineapple dollwhip on top. What's doll whip? Like pineapple ice cream, but like very pineapple. It was incredible.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Okay, fuck, that sounds amazing. I loved it. Okay, that actually sounded really good. And in the, like, African Pavilion at Animal Kingdom, they had this, like, corn on the cob on a barbecue with spices all over it. And they'd been dipped in butter. That was life-changing.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I had that and then went on a safari. That sounds phenomenal. A group of zebras is called it. called a dazzle. Any other questions? Please hit me up. That doesn't feel true. It's true. A dazzle of zebras. Is that what the man it was driving the truck said? Andrew. The workers haven't striped yet. They are just in union discussions. No, they're not. They love it. Because of the poor paying conditions. And because of the English women who keep visiting and screaming at them. Okay. And then hug me, but don't, right, don't, don't, don't wince at least. When you go into hug a princess, they shouldn't go.
Starting point is 00:16:54 So, like, give me an embrace. Can I just say that you push me and hit me so often that I do kind of go to defensive when you go to hug me too. That's different. You've got experience of me. Right, okay. What the fuck does the bell doesn't know me for madam? It's actually called a dazzle.
Starting point is 00:17:09 What? I wonder if it's related to dazzle camouflage as well. I don't think it is because he would have told me. In World War II, they like painted warships, zebra stripes so that it wouldn't show up on like radar or be seen easy. Whoa, we are learning. It's not all just a raffle. A group of giraff was called a tower.
Starting point is 00:17:31 What? Tower of giraffe. Check up, check up. What? Check up, check it. I learned a lot. This is the thing about Disney. And a murder of crows.
Starting point is 00:17:39 That's true. But you don't really see those on safari. It's a tower of giraffes. Thank you very much. A group of hogs is called. Um, podcast. Callum and Catherine. Trustee.
Starting point is 00:17:50 What is it called? What's a group of hugs? System, Wi-Fi's just being slow. Oh. I thought you said a system, and I'll say a system of hogs. That doesn't feel right. A tower of drama doesn't make any sense either, but I know it does, because they tower. That's all I got you, I got it.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Because they tower. A drift or a drove. A drift of hogs. A drift of hogs. Cool. I like both of those, actually. Hey, no, my third question, please. And I, okay, go on.
Starting point is 00:18:15 What was your best ride? Ah! By that I do mean, did you get fucked in the US of A? Oh, no, I didn't. Okay, but best ride? No. I don't think I wanked the entire holiday. Well, because you were making winners hang out with you every single time that I should hope you didn't.
Starting point is 00:18:31 We were so tired. She was there the whole time, I'm glad to hear. You didn't wank at any point. You know, there's always a shower break where one person goes to the shower and you quickly rub one out on the bed. Don't make out that that's like me being a freak. No, hang on. I thought it would make sense to me if you said you were going into the shower, locking the door and having the wank in there.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It does not make any sense to me that you are like, I should be done by the time she gets back. I'll just start on the bed. But she was in the room, she'll never to be walked back into. Different beds, though, so. Yeah, but she's going to walk back into that room, right? And I'll be there going, how was your shower? How was your shower?
Starting point is 00:19:04 Sorry, just running eyes. Hair all over the place. Paul's still playing in the background. Did you have a shower? Do you like to get me a princess? I hate you. Do you like to go me, Belle? I hate you.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Okay. Gwen is fine! I'm sick of saying it. She had a lovely time. Okay. She fucking loved it. And we went to Nashville and she fucking loved that as well. She loved all of it.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Do you see any good country music? I saw a man do a cover of Baby Got Back. So no. And so, Best ride, Rise of Resistance or Guardians of the Galaxy? Tell me. Okay. Guardians of the Galaxy is the best roller coaster I've ever been on. Also, like, brand, brand new.
Starting point is 00:19:54 So, like, obviously it's going to be amazing. It's so smooth. You sit on it. There's one of five different songs they play as you go around. I got, gum and everybody, do that conga. You can't control yourself very longer. And you start and you're sitting on the ride. It's actually quite catchy that.
Starting point is 00:20:08 And it's very good. Very good. Bron from Once Upon a Bronn said it's her number three favorite song on the ride. And that one of your video blogger adults, 50 people? Yes, once upon a braon. Yeah. She's a lesbian. There we go, Emma's happy.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Don't just point at him. She's a lesbian. Don't point out. Don't point at him and say she's a lesbian. Dopp it. You know. Yeah. Anyway, it's just an amazing roller coaster.
Starting point is 00:20:37 I really recommend going on it. And Rise of the Resistance, I'm not a massive Star Wars person, as displayed by the fact for a full day, my Instagram stories were just me walking around Star Wars land saying, live long and prosper. Me and Gwyneth thought it'd be really funny to ask. We were like, we had to wait for a ride for a person.
Starting point is 00:20:52 bit and I was like, do you want to just ask men who are wearing full-on Jedi robes to take pictures of us doing this? Like the Star Wars finger thing and we thought it was really funny but, okay, Star Trek, it was the same thing isn't it? No, but it's funny because of the joke I get it, no, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 It's funny because you were doing the wrong kind of the thing in Star Trek thing in Star Wars land, yeah. That was the joke, yeah. And then but then we'd ask them to do it and a lot of very upset men with full on lightsabers. No. Oh no! No! No! Really?
Starting point is 00:21:24 And then we were just like... Wait, men were kicking off because you were doing fingering wrong? Because it's about time, am I right? But Rise of the Resistance is life-changing. It was so good. And I went on the Ratatooie ride in the Little Mermaid Ride
Starting point is 00:21:38 and I saw a fireworks show. You all I just scream we're making the noise on the Little Mermaid ride? We didn't scream on the Little Mermaid ride because it's a gentle ride. Oh, I do. And also, here's one thing that I didn't expect. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:50 You got what I, because she lost her voice. Thanks Andrew. Fine. Forget it. Oh yeah. You've never seen The Little Mermaid. You what? Sorry for the benefit of the listener M. Just when I've never seen The Little Mermaid you fucking bitches. Why would you say that? Well I guess I should know she lost her voice because it's also like a folklore tale Yeah. It's a what?
Starting point is 00:22:08 It's a book by Hans Christian Anderson. All right. But sorry, why can't you? What haven't you seen it? What were you watching as a child?

And I was like, that I will thrive in. And I got myself a new, oh my God, can I also do this quick shout out? Shopping in America means I can just buy clothes in the shop. God, that shouldn't be a fucking rare
Starting point is 00:26:21 profound thing. It was insane to the point where Gwyneth... That's so annoying. It even has to be a thing, but I'm thrilled he did. It's so annoying. But Gwyneth was like, Gwyneth likes vintage shopping and stuff and in Nashville, there's those of like different really cool vintage shops. And I was like, oh, cool, let's go look around them. And I was like, oh, look around, but there'll be nothing for me there's something. Of course. Because that's always... I got a jumper.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Why? In one of them. Like, I fitted one. I was like, this is insane. That's so nice. And the guy serving me sounded so Southern. Oh, nice. And I was like. And I was like, where are you from? And he went here. And I went, oh, that's a Nashville accent. And he went, no, small town. And I went, okay. That's so nice.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And then I said, I'm from Louisiana. And he said, no, you're not, lady. Yeah, yeah. No one found it as charming as I thought they were. Yeah, I get it. And so what other clothes did you buy when you're there? I bought a swimming costume. And I bought a nice skirt as well. And I bought about 10 different fridge magnets for people.

I buy people, And you have both given me magnets over the last year, Maggie's, and I appreciate it. I was in Nashville, and I got each of you a Maggie.
Starting point is 00:34:22 They're matching. Wow. No, no, I did. You shouldn't have. I did say I wanted one. No, thank you. Oh, look at these. They're actually amazing.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Because the chrissets play guitars. We play guitar. Do you love it? I love it. They're actually amazing. $6.99. Don't read the price. That's so expensive.
Starting point is 00:34:45 But it's worth it because it's a quality, Maggie. And for the smiles on our face. And plus Will spent like 24 pounds making that job for what he made himself. They're homemade, the homemade. I don't think you can call that like a... Is this why Sunil's doing his no-sugar diet? Is he doing a no-sugar?
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah, he does what you guys do because he wants to be... That's lovely, Eddie, yeah. That's very special. Oh, there you go. Senil's gone on a mad diet as well. Has he? Yeah. Is it a mad diet?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Oh, he's going to add calories to a chocolate bar that pre-existed. That feels mad. No, I think it's lovely. Not so good for you. And hey, listen, there's no judgment. Food doesn't have to have a moral value. And it's good. And it's an activity as well.
Starting point is 00:35:25 And it's nice. Do you like it, Helen? I made it for you. Is it nice? No, why? Do you want to change your vote about the favourite quiz? Why isn't it nice? He's made it himself.
Starting point is 00:35:35 It's so bitter. It's bitter. It's dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate, to be fair. I do love it. I touched it so much. I touched every nut before I for the minute.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Okay, thank you so much to the chrissons. We appreciate it. How are you guys doing? You thriving? Thriving. I'm thriving. I'm surviving. No, here's my question.
Starting point is 00:35:58 You're in a double act? Yeah. Okay. The last double act we had on, we could only get one of them on because they don't like to do PR together. You guys chose to... We had shelf on off there, Brittany. Shelf, my apologies.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Shelf seemed too amped about being in a double act. Do you seem less than enthused about being a double act? Brittany won't act as a double act in public. Really? Really? Yeah, so my question remains, what made you get into a double act? Here we go. It's the love story of all.
Starting point is 00:36:26 It was Will's idea. We did... And you like it. And I like it. And I'm so glad. It was a good idea. It was a good idea. It's like those bignettes in when Harry met Sally.
Starting point is 00:36:39 A man being like, she was the most beautiful girl. And everyone fancied my friend Pauline. Yeah, exactly. But you met a uni, no. We met at university. And then we did a road to play sketch show. We wrote a sketch show.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Crab salad. Crab salad. How do you know that, you love? Helen actually came to see it. My friend Lee Smeek was, is an actress even. We worked together in a cafe. Right. And she was in their sketch show in Edinburgh.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Yeah, we did a university sketch show. But no one wanted to be in it. No students wanted to be in it. No students desperate for any opportunity to act. We wanted to be actors, like begging just for something to do with their day. It was like a new, it's because it was like a new comedy society at the uni that no one really cared about. So it was like the drama society was like the one everyone wanted to be in. Everyone wanted to be in their plays.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah. So when we were like, hey, who wants to come to Edinburgh to do this sketch show we've written? let's get into it what uni was it UCL nice uni you'd expect that to be a good comedy society there we set it up in a way yeah one of them
Starting point is 00:37:51 anyway we couldn't get anyone the point there was like a beating comedy in studio oh for fake you're trying to be a free we were like a comedy startup and like most startups
Starting point is 00:38:03 it went terribly you never hear about the ones that don't go well but let's have it last now it's time but you know casting Cool Pro, you heard of that? Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Yeah, so that's where we met Lee's. Passing called pro is amazing. Have you never heard of it? Wait, you had to hire professional actors. It's like Gumtree directors. Yeah. Yeah. What the fuck you're paying out of pocket for people who aren't students at UCL?
Starting point is 00:38:24 We couldn't pay. We couldn't pay. And were they were up front about that. Were they students at UCL? No. No. They were recent, they were recent drama graduates. They were like drama graduates.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Yeah, looking for their big break. They were 47-year-old men. Yeah. Like, yeah, I have us somewhere free. they were people and then and then they we were like hey come to Edinburgh with us we won't touch you we can all live together and then lease was like
Starting point is 00:38:50 no I'm not going to do that I'm going to live with my boyfriend and we're like oh okay but we've actually already signed a lease to rent a flat that includes a bedroom for you and she's like well I can't afford that so then we were Airbnb being out one of the rooms in our Edinburgh flat to a succession of tourists from the far east The producer was so stressed Because he was basically a landlord
Starting point is 00:39:13 As well as producing or failing Edinburgh show We're still really good friends with that Because the guy who was the producer He was 19 And he was just Most of his time was spent organising this Airbnb Dealing with complaints
Starting point is 00:39:28 He's like, hey the shower's not working Could you? A lot of improv in the living room actually He didn't like that very much Did the tourists from the Far East come and see crab salad though they didn't
Starting point is 00:39:40 no they didn't you couldn't even fire the guy it felt like you know we've got two businesses going on we don't want to mix
Starting point is 00:39:47 yeah no don't mix business we got like our property heads on and then of course okay so that was
Starting point is 00:39:54 the first and now you've been many acclaimed shows since yes well last year yeah
Starting point is 00:39:59 yeah and this year hell and this year this will be the year this will be the year yeah and so you are
Starting point is 00:40:06 um And so now you're taking a show to Soho. We're taking our show to Soho Theatre. First time there. We're very excited. And you don't have to lease anybody a room to stay in. You can just do the show. We can do that if we want some extra money.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I think we might be living together. Fabulous. And I lived together with Will last year. Yeah. Oh, please don't talk about Edinburgh this year. It's too far ahead. We have to. We must.
Starting point is 00:40:27 We must. We must talk about it. Okay. So your show this year at Soho Theater is called? It's called Cowboys. Cowboys. And it's on the 26th. to the 28th of January.
Starting point is 00:40:39 At the Soho Theatre. At the Soho Theatre. And what's it about? It's about Cowboys. It's a Cowboys. So it's got lots of songs in it. It's set in the Wild West. Is it a proper Western?
Starting point is 00:40:51 Hmm. It is. It is. I saw it and I felt like I was in Montana. That's how it felt in the crowd. Assembly Garden. It's like, it's in a generic Western setting.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Fabulous. But then we're also ourselves. in bits. Yeah, and we also play ourselves. I can't wait to see it. This is so exciting. It's a great fun show. Did you not see in Edinburgh?
Starting point is 00:41:13 No, I'm so excited. Oh my God, it's so good. Thanks for, well, thanks in advance. And you're going to sing songs? Yeah, there's ten songs in there. My favorite song? Is there a shootout? Quick sound.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Is there what? A shootout? My favorite part of a Western? There's a shootout. Oh, I'm in. Okay. Annie Saloon Doors? It's all indoors, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Did you say it is it all indoors? And it's all indoors? It's all indoors? It doesn't any saloon? It doesn't even matter. I don't have to go outside. I don't even have to go outside. No, I said any saloon doors?
Starting point is 00:41:43 No, there was interest. Well, interestingly, there was a saloon scene, but we got rid of it. Oh, no. I'm happy to reveal that. Isn't it? It's a loose face. Yvonne. Trustee Hoggs.
Starting point is 00:41:53 You heard it here first. It's really exciting. Okay, cool. I always think if I was in a double act, I'd do something like you guys do. Like, pick like a really strong sort of theme and just pretend to be something the entire time. Like, I don't know, like, like, like, be it like a dog. Do you know what I mean? I call the show.
Starting point is 00:42:07 like dog kennels and then it's just like me and like my double out partner playing those of different dogs than the kennels. Would Catherine be your double act partner? No no no she would not know the wrong sense of whimsy we wouldn't mash because you guys are high energy and low energy it's because you're both so mental um no I don't know
Starting point is 00:42:23 which one of high energy neither I'm the crazy one I don't know who my double app partner would be I would like Can I say there's never been anyone less qualified to be in a double act than you? Really and I say that as I'd probably come second Neither of us could be in a double eye. Where's that coming from?
Starting point is 00:42:40 Babe. When somebody doesn't look at you and you're the only person on stage, you have developed a verbal tick whereby you get down to the eyes of that said terrified man and scream, look at me! Now imagine they were supposed to be looking at somebody else. But if you need like a fart break or something like that, the other person can take over. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:02 And you just need someone who matches you. What's a fart break? You know when you're on a stage you need to fart and you're like, I wish not everyone was looking at me right now so I could have a fart break. Have you ever done it where you know that the audience can hear it? Like the front row might have been. I know. I always think they can hear it but really, if I ever talk very, very lively on stage or farting.
Starting point is 00:43:19 If you ever talk very, you're always talking very lively on stage. I get very gassy on stage. Are you farting the whole time? I'm farting now. I've definitely farted so not noisily but smellily. Yeah. The front row visibly reacts. But do you look at one person in the front row and go, do that not funny you?
Starting point is 00:43:37 I don't know if you've done that in the chrisons. It's not happening. It was not that I've noticed. It's when I was a beginner comedian. Yeah. I didn't have a lot of jokes. You're always far in your first year. It's like five minutes.
Starting point is 00:43:48 You can't hold it for five minutes? No, because you're so nervous. I was so nervous and I'd had so many beans. Yeah. I had so much ruffage. My comfort food, beans. It was actually. Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:59 It was at all. Your, um, Will's first stand-up set was about beans. That's true. It was really good. Why do you know that history? We started an open mic together. Then it was about pumpkins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I was trying to change my diet. Oh God, I can't wait to hear your sad about homemade chocolate bars. It's going to be fire. Can I tell you my idea for the doublet show then? Yes. Okay, so dogs are yours. Mine. But you don't even have a partner and you're not in double-act.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And these are an actual double-act here to tell us about their actual show that exists. But I'd like to hear what they think about my idea. Yeah. The one you just came up with now that you've already personally invested in. Yeah. All right. Okay. So like we play a variety of different dogs in the Ken.
Starting point is 00:44:37 from ones who have just arrived to a hundred of things and get picked up the next day. It's like one that's been there for 200 days and it's definitely about to be put down and that's your jeopardy throughout the show is like will they get a doctor or will they get put down? And then we can have like keepers coming in like dog house style
Starting point is 00:44:51 and then we can have like we could play fleas at one point to get a bit meta if that's what meta means and yeah that's the show and it's called dogs with a Zed which and it's me and Miranda Hart. Wow. There we go. That's my double.
Starting point is 00:45:07 That would be a good double-nage, actually. Nice tall ladies from Hampshire. Just falling over. Yeah, just like, whoopoo, woof, woof, woof. Like, yeah. And then one of the dog is, like, really sexy to the point where the audience are like, oh my God, am I into bistiality? And it's like, no, you're not.
Starting point is 00:45:21 I'm just like, really fair. Which dog are you? I'd like to be one with all the nipples. Oh, and is that. A mama dog. A mama dog, but who hasn't bounced back. Is that the one that's been there for ages or the one that's... No, she's thriving.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But just like, like, nipples. from up here all the way down In your professional opinions? I think the nipples think could be an audience participation. Like milking?
Starting point is 00:45:45 They milk. They milk the dog? Yeah. Ellen the dog. That would be nice. Probably a kids show then really, isn't it? We're now thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:45:53 It would be good because then it's educational. If I did it like midday at the weekends. You would? Yeah. Have you ever had kids come to see your shows because people think double X are supposed to be like for families? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:03 We did have a 10 year old boy coming. He loved it. an old Edinburgh show that we did Powerpoint based Was it appropriate? It wasn't, was it, Eddie? There was a bit about
Starting point is 00:46:13 Rimming in that Yeah, really racy stuff His eyes were so wide He loved it though He loved it And then his dad was like Don't worry
Starting point is 00:46:24 He loves that sort of thing Rimming No we didn't We're just like The kid just loves a bit of blue The you know Were you pro or anti-rimming Are we?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Were you in the show? Pro, pro, I think. It was rimming neutral, the show. Yeah, we didn't have a strong opinion on that, but we just, we just, we, I think anyone would feel comfortable. Do you remember how it came up? The rimming? It's in, well, it's a bit hard to explain.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Try. We did a segment about whether you should be vegetarian or not. Okay. It was to do with myth-busting, and then we were myth, we were myth, we were myth, bucking and then we were myth fingering and then we were myth wrimming by the end of the show yeah that feels pro-rimming yeah because it's like an active
Starting point is 00:47:14 but all the judgmental as if like they're like in the escalation they've made it the most extreme it's like stripping away myth artifice yeah rimming's a good thing I saw this show Edinburgh Fringe gang you heard it here you heard it here first the epicenter of the arts
Starting point is 00:47:31 but we would always try and get the parents and not bring the children in but they would always I think once Yeah we would say Are you sure about this like yeah yeah They're not like
Starting point is 00:47:40 I'm not moving In Edinburgh There's so many grown men Being like Bring your kids in here That I think I'd be like Comforted by the sight of two Who were like
Starting point is 00:47:48 No don't bring I'd be like that seems safer Yeah Yeah Yeah It's like it is reverse psychology Yeah Interesting
Starting point is 00:47:54 Okay listen Do you ever help each other With your problems Yeah Yeah I don't even know how male friendship works Or indeed how men work It works
Starting point is 00:48:04 It works. Yeah. We've been friends for a long time. We've been friends for over 10 years and we had many problems. Had many problems and helped each other with many problems over the years. Who's better at advice? 50-50. That means, Will.
Starting point is 00:48:18 I think Eddie's really good with advice. We try to, it's hard, you know. Advice is hard. Because different people have different ideas of what's helpful, isn't it? Who's a better listener? Getting to know. You're both very good listeners, actually, I think. I think we're both good listeners.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I think we both have the same short. I think my shortcomings, I think my shortcomings in the past have been thinking, not specifically, beginning, sometimes being like, oh, something I think is a useful solution to a problem that a person might not find useful, you know, but I have learned that. Yeah. Do you learn in the same way that I do where I'll be like, oh, what about yoga with Adrian? And then Helen screams at me and then writes an entire show about how she hates yoga with Adrian. That's not how that happened. Is that how that happened? That's not how that happened exactly. That's an exclusive. I'm like, this is a really helpful thing for my mental health. She'll be like, that's not only is that stupid. It's so stupid I should talk about it on stage.
Starting point is 00:49:13 True that. I still think that we could give a problem a go and we could see how the chrisids do. Okay, let's find out which of you is better advice. I think we're both good at giving advice and whoever has a problem we'll be able to help them. Yeah. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Andrew, give us a really tough mental health eating disorder one. These boys are ready for a female specific issue. Let's hear some lady problems. Give us teenage girl drama. I wish, I've loaded up another one, unfortunately, but we do have a huge backlog of very intense ones. Oh my God, let's do an intense one for the extras, then. Let's do an intense one for the extras. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Come on. No judgment to the person's problem who we all inevitably really have. Oh, no, no, it's incredible. We love and, like, you know we like intense. Yeah, yeah. No judgment here. Hi, I'm C. Hi, C.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I'm turning 13 and I've always struggled with saving money. Oh, dear, your world's ending as well, you're turning 13. You've got no money. You've fun already. It's not too bad. Don't worry about it. I'm disabled and my disability stops me from working. Great, well done.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I just said that before I found out that. I could have stopped you because I knew that I was coming, but I'll let you go. No, damn it. My disability stops me from working, so I'm already on a limited budget. Damn it, see? I'm good at finding cheap deals and shopping around for bargains. That's not the problem. But I'm struggling with how to come up with a budget that works for me that I can stick to.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Okay. My problem is that I start with good intentions, but always end up spending what little savings I have and frivolous crap that I probably don't need. so do either of you have any advice as to how to find a budget that works for me how to start saving money not wasting money sticking to budget on this note
Starting point is 00:50:43 and I don't count this as frivolous crap but I have just up my Patreon to notion to £10. That's your first problem That's the first cut that What the fuck you guys? What the fuck? Any budgeting advice for sake?
Starting point is 00:51:02 Let's let the quizards help. Okay, I'd be interested of this because I've seen both of you get frivolous pets. But also, Helen, but also men have all the money, so let's find out what they're doing. I don't know. I don't know. This is a tough one.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I think I'm notoriously love spending money. I'm not good with... I go through phases, but I do love buying expensive things. I believe in the Aristotelian virtue of magnificence, which means it makes you a good purpose. to buy magnificent things so like if you pay an artisan to make you a fantastic table that's actually a moral that's like morally good because you're like helping somebody yeah and I find that is a wonderful way to justify buying whatever you want as long as you're buying it so I think
Starting point is 00:51:49 it's just important give us that phrase again aristotillian aristotelian virtue of magnificent is that really what it is if you buy magnificent things then you're magnificent yeah it's the idea I think I do believe in it so like it's it's not It's not magnificent. I think I believe in it. This is like the difference between these chocolate bars. It's not magnificent to buy a twirl. But Helen doesn't like the chocolate.
Starting point is 00:52:11 This tin-boiled, bundled piece of chocolate is magnificent. It's Aristotelian. But what if you prefer a twirl? Wow. Here we go. You can prefer a 12, but it's a less good way to spend your money. Like, that's why I believe going to independent shops and spending. So, just to circle back on the helping the person who's on the limited budget with the land fly.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Say your resources are limited. My resources are very limited. They are very limited. He's in a double act in comedy. You're splitting that fee. Yeah. And there's no fee. Split the cost as well.
Starting point is 00:52:51 But when we travel, we both have to pay travel. Sometimes we're down so much on a gig. It's incredible. So. So. Your advice to this point, person is? Well, listen, capitalism is ruined society.
Starting point is 00:53:06 It has. I hope this person doesn't feel guilty about this problem because there's basically just not enough money for everything so expensive if this person is like might be receiving like benefits. There's so low, like it hasn't been put up enough. So I hope they
Starting point is 00:53:22 don't feel bad about it. However, practical advice, I think Eddie would be better at brilliant. Eddie's really good with money. I do think that's a really good starting point though, just like let's just, no beating around the bush, acknowledge that the system is broken and that we have an increased benefits in line
Starting point is 00:53:38 with interest rates or inflation. And that's also that the system is designed to make you feel like that's a personal flaw and not a trap that we will announce to keep falling into. So yeah, let's take the moral value out of this and stop saying, like it's not that you were a bad person or a fail to do something.
Starting point is 00:53:54 It's that it's a challenge and we will endeavor to help ourselves as much as we can, which is why we're going to go to twirl gay. Okay, thank you. um so uh yeah tricky situation uh right so uh oh seems to win in any other week any other week um so sorry um for the quality of this answer
Starting point is 00:54:17 I'm you a robot problem so sorry the problem you're having I believe in you anyway so if I may please if I may answer the question questions to build on what will was saying that don't feel guilty about your about about spending say 10 pounds on trusty hogs yeah it's a it's a good product it's magnificent
Starting point is 00:54:46 and it's right to you that's like a good person and that's yeah and you're not podcasting and you're not an evil big corporation I don't know I wish I would be I want to be absolute shit what was um is the name C yeah yeah see yeah see you're magnificent in not just my words but in the words of Aristotle as well and Will and
Starting point is 00:55:09 try to I guess when you're putting a budget together if you can it's really hard to stick to a budget if you have it if you don't build in something enjoyable try to build something
Starting point is 00:55:24 and so because I think whenever I try to be like I strip something back to the bare necessities it ends up being a bit joyless and it's actually very hard to stick to it because I'm realistic side. So I'd say try and build something that's enjoyable but maybe like
Starting point is 00:55:36 is, yeah. Oh, I've just thought of a really good principle. Here we go. Here we go. This is what really helps me. Do math. Rather than rather than rather than creating things that are all about not doing things, think about what you would
Starting point is 00:55:52 like to do more. Yes! Rather than being like, no more going to the cinema, I've got to spend too much money it's like oh i would like to go for to do more walks i would like to invite my friends over city i'd like to watch more films at home that are available on a streaming service that will mean that you end up saving money but by choosing what you want to do rather than replacing it with fun because otherwise you just feel it's it's really miserable having to to budget yeah i would also oh sorry no i completely agree and i think similarly having like a visible list of the things you're saving for helps me so
Starting point is 00:56:25 much just to be like why the fuck am I doing this is to be like and also to keep the list on the list of things that you've gotten like from saving which I think are good too is to be like oh I am happier to have that than three ubers you know that has actually made me
Starting point is 00:56:41 more joyful see I would personally go for not the Aristotle approach but the Plato approach which is we come into this world with nothing if you leave owing you've won so the trick is to absolutely cane it cane it into debt
Starting point is 00:56:56 and then when you die you can go fucking beat the system I left with debt and then you've won how do you judge the death debt collection
Starting point is 00:57:05 you just keep keep caning it and then death will happen keep changing addresses right yeah by the mafia
Starting point is 00:57:11 in this situation no no no no mafia just you know what can they do can I build on what Eddie said too though I think that
Starting point is 00:57:18 not feeling bad is good but I also think that thing about joy is important but I also think the main like that underneath
Starting point is 00:57:23 that is like be realistic as well like I think I'm so guilty of making budgets where I'm like I don't need coffee edge I'll never get do you remember last January when you were like I'm not having takeaway or yeah but I had way fewer takeaway figure but fuck it out
Starting point is 00:57:39 it was mental no but it's true it's an unrealistic goal and then I only feel like I failed and like I haven't budgeted for it whereas actually what I find really helpful is to go back and look what you're actually spending on and budget in real terms of who you really are not who you hope to be because you'll remain yourself. Also, haircuts, don't need them.
Starting point is 00:57:57 It's all a mess. It's all a mess. You can just, you can chip that yourself at home. Chip it. This, my long hair is a product of not having a lot of money. Yeah, fair. I bumped into my barber yesterday because he lives around the corner from me. He gave me a fist bump.
Starting point is 00:58:10 And he said, I'll see you soon. Because he just looked at my head. I was like, yeah, yeah. I don't need help with that soon? Wow, Savage. What a guy. He likes me, I think. He does.
Starting point is 00:58:22 He does. I always berate the people. that I like into giving me their money through social anxiety. That's nice. Stealing is something that we haven't discussed yet, but like that's always an option. I have two useful things. About stealing?
Starting point is 00:58:35 Not about stealing, but I was practical. Big puffy coat. Yeah, big puffy coat. Tinfoil. Oh good thing. And well, I got 175 pounds from doing a current account switch. Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:49 There's a really good idea. There's just like a small, weird, random things that you can just get out of like a hundred pounds or something and what helps I are you subscribed to the money saving expert yeah we love Martin Lewis it's genuinely great I think things like that are because of him I that I realize
Starting point is 00:59:05 I can get 175 quid from a current account switch I get also get 1% cash bank on all transactions with my chase account because of Martin fabulous what did you say about you'd like to say about Martin Lewis I do that you do everything he says I do everything he says
Starting point is 00:59:21 I do everything he says you have a thing you said I have a set out a bit where I say I would punch myself in the balls if he told me to. I trust him too much. Yeah, okay. That feels a little reliant. Well, I don't know because I don't know about finance, really. I think he says it.
Starting point is 00:59:36 If he says I should do it, I'll do it. That's fair. I don't think we've helped at all, but I think we've all tried our best. The problem is I'm really bad with money. I think all of us are. I think we're all a bit frivolous. I actually, if I may speak for Will and I, I think we have helped a lot. you guys
Starting point is 00:59:54 you two have phoned this one in and we have actually We're the problem We're the problem We're the case of life Wow Okay wow Thank you to the chrisids
Starting point is 01:00:03 On next week at the Soho Theatre 26 to 28th of January Yeah special guest Martin Lewis Book in advance Book in advance Boys and thank you for your brilliant advice Your show is called
Starting point is 01:00:15 Cowboys So it's a theatre 26th to the 28th What time? Quarter past 10 at night And that's a crazy crazy good time for us You didn't say that at the beginning Interesting.
Starting point is 01:00:25 You'll be there, you'll come. Of course I will. Of course I will. Is it like a Thursday to a Saturday? It's a Thursday to a Saturday. Fine, fine. Quarter past 10's no time at all. Should you be back home and half an hour?
Starting point is 01:00:33 It's fucking amazing. I saw her at Edinburgh. I went with loads of comedians and we were all just losing our fucking shit. That's the thing you should know about the Quizzards. They are very much like a comedian's comic act. I love how you're saying that so carefully. Yeah. The comedians fucking love them which says a lot of good stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:49 That's what I'm trying to say. It's such an endorsement when there's an act that loads of acts go to. Yeah, because no one sees me and Catherine. That's what I mean. And whereas, like, why would they? It's like screaming. They could just have that on the street. I like, I like you guys.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Yeah, but you wouldn't see you. Oh, it's not made before. You're coming here. You wouldn't go see the show because you can just hear us do the show at each other in a coffee shop at any given time. You don't need to see the show. It's the same. It's just like, there's less crying, I guess. But I do think ultimately, comedians go to see you guys because you're brilliant at what you do.
