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.
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.
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.
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?
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
and you
I'm so sorry
yesterday was
my accent
so bad
no first of all
yesterday was the first
day I got
fun on my
fucking face
for what feels
like five
month
so that that was
good
also in essence
we were late
for the football
so we rocked up
we were like
10 minutes late
we watched
half an hour
football
which to me
is just
when was women's football
just checking
out lesbians
yeah
both on and off the pit
very exciting
that feels very derivative
then we
what
I would just say
that feels very
derivative
I feel like
we should be
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Bless you.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
But he weren't there.
Oh, not that I saw.
Okay.
So.
Sorry, okay, I'm back with you.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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 me and Catherine are going to see a show tonight but you come to mine afterwards.
And we'll watch them together. Okay. Have you watched any
Disney films.
Robin Hood.
Oh yeah, of course.
We've been over there.
That's the only one.
You've just lost your gift.
You've just lost your gift.
Wow.
Fascinating.
Okay, so I...
Gifty time.
Well, no, speaking of gifts,
before we get into it.
You did buy me a gift from Paris.
Oh, no, I forgot.
My point is this.
She's furious.
I'm honestly calm about it.
You're struggling with your mental health.
You don't have to remember to bring me a gift.
I'm really sorry.
Despite the fact I called you and asked you to remember
even though I was in America.
Uh-huh.
Also, so many comments.

So make sure you follow
Trusty hugs
on Instagram.
Do you love it?
Aren't they classy?
Ellen, I genuinely.
I know.
Actually, let me be clear, the first time
ever enjoyed this gift
you bought me. You know why? Because you
were really happy for me to get that Shrek
H. I just love it. And you were
like, it's very practical and it's a little bit of
whimsy, but it's still useful.
I love this.
Woohoo. Also, it's going to be thoughtful because you know how I always
am letting my girlfriends move in, so it's nice to just have my own
key. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. No, no.
No, no.
Yay!
No, you actually,
you really didn't get anything from Paris.
I can't look out as a joke or not.
So I didn't, and I don't, I'm sorry.
That's insane to me.
But can I say, I say, can I explain?
I was going to buy something at Gardiner,
which I know is lazy,
but I was just like, I'll do my gift shopping there.
When we got to Gardiner,
there was a terrorist attack.
And that's my problem?
No.
But I just mean like, it wasn't like a shopping line.
So the terrorists took all the magnets.
They won.
They won, because I didn't get to shop.
Oh my God.
I think the point is I didn't get to shop and I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
It's okay because I'm going to France tomorrow.
Are you?
I will get my own one.
Yeah.
What are you going for?
Skiing!
What's happening with you today?
I keep blanking it out because it makes no sense.
It doesn't fit with my narrative of you in any way to perform.
What are you talking about?
So you're going skiing?
Yeah.
You've never skied before?
Never.
And you're bringing who again?
France.
Okay.
And they can ski?
Yeah.
No, no, they can't ski.
Neither are.
of us can ski but we can play
in snow. So it's absolutely
fine. And you're gigging. And I'm
doing gigs, yeah. But you're going exclusively
with comics who do ski? Apart from
Stephen Bailey. I found out Stephen doesn't ski
and Stephen was like, the only thing I want to do is get us
in a hot tub and just recreate real housewives
moments. 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
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.
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.
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.
and shocking, I didn't do it for you.
I'm really sorry that I didn't bring you a gift from Paris.
I'll bring you a gift from the next.
I'm going to Iceland next month.
I'll bring you a gift from Iceland.
Fridge magnet?
Okay.
Can I have two?
Yeah. To make up for Paris? Yes, you can.
Sick.
I'm going to two different parts of Iceland.
I'll bring you one from both.
One over ten pounds in price.
Combined price? They can be over ten pounds?
No.
It's Iceland. They're going to be over ten pounds.
Okay, thank you very much.
Can I have one that looks like a little trance of a little.
Troll.
Listen, I'll do my best.
Okay.
Should we bring our guest on?
I think we should.
I think we should.
I think we should absolutely.

and then went out with me i had another dinner i did a double big dinner and she didn't know
no it was i think she didn't it wasn't an argument she was just like i had omitted the fact that i
had another big dinner after because i was just like it was quite early on yeah you don't need
And it was like in Paris, I don't know why, but I was a bit like, I'm not confident enough to explain.
Like, yeah, I had two dinners.
But then I didn't tell her.
And then she was like, why don't you tell me you had another big dinner?
I was like, I don't know.
I was shy.
I was shy.
You were nervous.
I got shy and nervous.
Okay, but so our past previous listener, but no longer listener, savage.

I spent New Year's.
Why?
I told you on New Year's.
I shouted it at midnight.
Yeah.
Happy New Year's.
I'm not having any sweets unless I've made it myself!
So, I brought you some of the sweet that I've made myself, which essentially what I do.
I don't know if I like that.
You won't eat it. I'll eat it.
Rather than eating chocolate bar, what I do is I melt the chocolate bar.
I will melt the chocolate bar.
bar, put nuts in it, put it in the freezer.
Five minutes later, I'm eating chocolate bar.
But I made it myself.
And it's got raisins.
Was it like a picnic?
You just made a free of nutt bar.
Oh, wow.
So I think it's nice.
But wait, what kind of bar have you melted down?
I've melted down a lovely 70% dark chocolate Montezuma's.
Oh, okay.
Jesus.
Hello.
That's actually really nice.
That's for me.
And this one's for you.
I won't it.
Thank you so much.
Thank you to the fancy chrisid.
Yeah, that is fancy.
Fancy chrissid.
Should we rate the chrisids?
Yes.
So I am prioritised nobody having touched my chutz.
Yeah.
So you're not going to weed that.
No, I might.
I'm going to go with my votes for Eddie and you.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to vote for Will.
Yeah.
For the explanation.
And this is more from Shemima.
and it is Eddie.
Interesting.
You paid for it,
but that's like two for a pound, isn't it?
Yeah, but you get like 20% more than she does.
Moneywise,
from comedy,
you get 20% more than it.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
I'm going to say my favorite chrizzard
is Will Rowland.
I choose Eddie.
Okay, thank you to the chrisids.
Thank you so much for coming on.
Hey, thanks so much for coming in, guys.
Very nice to meet, you know.
I've actually got a little gifty for you too as well.
So obviously,
I don't touch my chocolate.
Thank you very much.
That's Will's job.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
yeah no
don't mix business
we got like
our property
heads on
and then
of course
okay so that was
the first
and now
you've been
many acclaimed
shows since
yes
well last year
yeah
yeah
and this year
hell
and this year
this will be the year
this will be the year
yeah
and so you are
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
No don't bring
I'd be like that seems safer
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
It's like it is reverse psychology
Yeah
Interesting
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
you just keep
keep caning it
and then death
will happen
keep changing addresses
right
yeah
by the mafia
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
not feeling bad
is good
but I also think
that thing about joy
is important
but I also think
the main
like that underneath
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
So I'm excited to see the show.
And I think everybody else should go see you.
Thank you.
To the prison.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming on.
