The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is an eight-episode Hulu original limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look as it revisits the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. Hello, I'm Catherine Ryan, and this is Write Me Dirt. the podcast where two comedians write steamy, ridiculous erotica

about each other. I give them a bizarre prompt. Think, Apocalypse must include a zombie. And they read their spicy stories aloud while I judge them on sexiness, funniness, and sheer chaos. It's hilarious, awkward, and occasionally, kind of hot.

Write me dirty. Thursday's just got thirstier. Write me dirty. Melissa, are you a doctor? I want to be, but I'm not. I'm not a doctor either, and we're not psychologists, and we're not experts in anything. In fact, we just challenge a lot of shit, so... And we love giving you guys advice, but as we said, we love giving you guys advice.

Do not take what we're saying as gospel. If you do feel like you need to speak to somebody, please seek professional help. Hey guys, it is our 100th episode from the rebound of Wednesday. We're very excited. It's a good one. We have the iciest dilemma ever to share with you. Sophie reveals her nose contour trick, which is just so genius. And we also debrief from the Beckham's and loads and loads more.

Enjoy the episode. Enjoy it, guys. Oh my gosh. I thought that was about me being a million again. Me too. I'm not fucking about a million. I'm like, I'm like, I'm so. I've got 10 gates a good.

Oh my God, I'm obsessed. Oh my God, I'm so proud of us. Did you know? No, did you? No idea. Oh, my God. Oh, guys, so cute. I did see that in the fridge and I thought someone's celebrating.

That is, let's go. Guys, thank you. I don't want to breathe because I'm so garlicky. Ready, one, two, three. Oh, my God, guys. Happy 100 to us all. Love you. Oh, well, tinies to us.

Thanks for the OG tinies, because I know there are so many of you. I'm still knocking about. They really are. Like, I remember, like, being in Planet Organic, like, right at the very, very beginning. Like, we were, like, one month in,

and I remember a girl going to me. I'm listening to you and I was like, no. I remember thinking no. That first episode that we put out, anxiety central. I physically wouldn't listen back to it if you pay me. I think I'm going to have to.

When you go on, like, Matt leave, I'm going to listen to it. We should maybe, like, replay a couple of those for the new tiniies, just so they get an insight into the growth. I bet our voices are so annoying. I know. Well, people say my voice has changed so much. It's quite jell. I think mine's got worse.

Because you're with me. It's true. Hello timeies, we're back. Guys, it's our 100th episode. We're going to do a little rewind to where it all started. So it all started. Actually, I can remember exactly when it started. It started when I was filming M.C. in Wilderness.

And I was done. I was so done. You had left the show. And you and I were calling each other the whole time. And it was mid-lockdown, second lockdown. Yeah. And Jamie had said to us like, you guys should do a podcast. Over the years, he said it so many times.

And we were like, yeah, yeah. And then you got to a point who was like, no, you really should. And then when I was in Worses, we started like voice-staging or texting or calling each other about her. Yeah, we were like, really committed. I remember like weirdly I was sat on the loo, like just doing a pity. But I have this vision of like us talking about it. Exactly. And you came up with Wednesdays, so we drink wine, that name.

Yeah, because I was thinking about almost as we wear pink. Green girls. Yeah. It was very apt. I felt. And then I CGI'd so. Fisie's face onto Regina George's face and that was one of our first photos that we put out. Do you not remember?

And it was said Wednesdays you drink wine? Surely it's still on the Instagram. Wait, and did you have your face on it? Was it just me? No, it was just you? What? So there was only one person's face and you had blonde hair so it looked actually really good. But guys, essentially what we did was we, it was called Wednesdays we drink wine for any non-O-Gs.

And we rated wine. So we would drink wine and I would get a bottle. Melissa would get a bottle and then we would drink her and we would film and we would film and record for about five hours in total our editors and as of haters and we were pissed by the end of it like so drunk like we literally were just having such a fun gossip

and then we would always go for a dinner afterwards we'd try and record on the Thursday because we felt like it's legit to day drink on a Thursday couldn't we would always do it on a Thursday like without felt and then we moved into a studio and the recordings because of schedules got busier and all sorts of things started happening

and then we had to start recording like 10am and the wine was just suddenly just not really acceptable and also it just wasn't a vibe in a studio getting drunk like it was only fun when we were just like left to our own devices and so then we decided to rebrand it as Wednesdays because you know as we enter our mature era we were just like this is not it's gone from like us getting pissed to like then we just weren't into that vibe anymore

and we matured and as did the podcast and so Wednesdays erupted. Errupted. Has evolved into Wednesdays. And, you know, here I am. Melissa's moved in with Toby. He's all been on the escapades with. We've been through the highs.

We've been through the lows. We've been through the breakups. If you want to go back and listen to it, or Melissa did not hold back. There was every single detail about it. You said every detail about your breakup. Not when we were broken up. I didn't.

I kept it really private. But then when we got back together, we were allowed to talk about it. I did. You weren't like so private about who you were dating and stuff like we did. Oh yeah that was like I was telling everything but about why we broke up I remember we had your single diaries yes what a time so when I was single oh my but it was really fun good content apologies guys we don't have that content anymore and then um you obviously

came I got married Melissa got back with Toby she now lives with him I'm pregnant it's all going on we had the whole thing going do you think we're going to feel like continue like we'll be like talking about when our kids go to school and we'll be still doing it and we'll be in that stage. Do you think we'll be coming back? You know what's going to be so fun when like the kids go to school

and they come back with like saying funny things at school and getting like mom and dad in trouble because they're like out of something. Do you know what I mean? Like there's really funny stories that toddlers just say everything. There was like photos that we were going through

like a few years ago that a piece of art that like me and my brother had done and it was like you had to draw like a picture of their mum and dad and it was like a cute like painting that my brother had done of like my dad and then one of my mum with a wine glass in her hand full that was like triple the size of her so this is mummy every night and it was my mummy loves drinking wine he was like three no your toe I'm so outed to the school

I need to tell you about what happened to me when I'm walking through Notting Hill right So I'm actually like walking past Lancaster game Oh yeah Anyway It's like really sunny I'm wearing this like This like check dress Like let me tell you when you're pregnant

Like the days of like The honking the horns Like the men looking at you Like it just goes You know it's a rough day When you don't get a wolf whistle From a builder Well there you go

Like those days go And like if men are looking at you It's pretty much with like a It's with more respect Which is great actually Well exactly But like Oh god do I

I'm not I'm not I'm not a feminist. I'm like, God, just wolf-listen at me. Like, what's happening? It just gives you a pep in your step. Right, so then this, like, big Lamborghini four-wheel drive rushes past me. And then it does a double-take and drives past me, and I'm like... You say double-take, doesn't it?

It, like, does a round, a loop, and, like, it comes... Well, at some point, it passes me again on this long... It's a very long walk from, like... I'm talking, like, from Marla, but, like, by South Jersey all the way to not so gay. I walk down that road. Okay, yeah. Anyway, these guys wound down the window. and they're like quite young and like quite attractive and they're like said something like hey how are you doing and I was like smiled and then as the car got further they got to the front of me and he goes oh my god your peg and I'm so sorry and they pressed the window and it just goes

they were literally like repelled and I was like but they because they know it's like they're literally like I get it I saw the eyes like hey and they would have felt so awful and they would have been like we're being so I'm disrespectful. What was awful is that I was like this. Hey. You were like, oh yeah, give me some attention. She was hiding the bum. I was actually like, back, back, back. It was so good.

I just thought, oh my God. Yeah, men are very, very, actually in a really sweet way. I think I've been really pleasantly surprised by men when you're pregnant. Like, every man on the street will look at you and smile. Way more than women. Like, they're like, I know, like hold open the doors, do this. Oh, I'm so sorry. They'll move their way.

wives are out the way of on the street so that you can pass it's like your precious car go to them I'm like oh my god that's so sweet whereas the woman's just like I've got proud and fucking move out the way too whereas the man's like move out the way pregnant lady I'm like thank you off I go oh my god how fantastic I can't fucking wait I know you we should make the most of this and go to like thought park and skip all the cues or something I don't know well when you fly with me we would skip all the keys not that we're flying together I was thinking my second we could plan with your best. I thought that the other day as I was drifting off to sleep. Okay.

Let's do that. Why have we never talked about that? Because I thought we were going to really miss it. Toby even said the other day he was something like, oh yeah, but in three years, like we'll probably have a baby. I'm like, hon, you don't understand the maths. That means I've got to be pregnant in two years. I don't want to be pregnant in two years. She's so ready.

She's, yeah, but you will, no, we can't get this, but you would be my, you would be my age? But I'm scared about pregnancy. It's not that scary. Have I not made you feel more less scary about it yeah but I'm like every every pregnant person I meet it's just so chilled about it

which is like obviously very comforting but I am also like what what scares your own fascinated like having a baby inside you or like the scare of being sick scares me I don't know why it just is such a big deal

it is a big deal it's funny she's like that's fine have I not chilled you out I'm like sure there have been like a pride to be fair yeah you have there's not been too many days that I've like called you and I've never like thrown up on the loo and been like Melissa never never I don't actually know anyone that's had a terrible

pregnancy I don't that's really nice but I guess I don't know that many people that have been pregnant so far in my life has only been like maybe three or four who knows I will maybe we will be ready by then I think he will oh my god well if he's thinking you guys having a baby in three years I think it's just an off-the-cuff thing but he doesn't understand the maths of like I actually have to have it in me for a year first cooking. Maybe he means that you'll be pregnant in three years. Like to me that's the same thing. I know it's not.

But then what I meant was like... I'll say like he doesn't have to do anything. That's so great for him. They get that extra year whilst you're doing all the work. And like there nothing changes. Like Jamie's it. She's like it's like 6 a.m. I'm just going for a run.

I'm like, what I do to have that energy again in my life? Like there's no... I don't think I'll ever, ever do that. And I'm just like, I hate you. What on my feet are like some morning so swollen. I'm just like, what? And you're just like, oh, nimble, jumping out of bed, running off, eating Serrano ham for lunch.

Oh my God, I've actually felt so sorry for soap. Every time we've eaten it, so if you're just like, it's my favourite food. I can't wait to have it. It's going to be the first thing I do like it. And I'm really craving sushi, which is really well because I've not craved at all. But now I'm actually so ready. Just for like a roll.

I don't really want the shisimi. Skinny confidential woman. I have a glass of red wine every month, I think. I was like, that's so niche. So disciplined. But I'm also like, does that mean you have like a sip a day? Or is it like a sip? I don't know, like how that sort of works out.

I'm absolutely fascinated. I need to go back, come on, you told me that. So I need to go back and listen. Can we talk about it? So this is my other best friend. He's also pregnant. I know. I like the same time.

She's a few months behind Sophie. It's like going to be so funny both my best friends and they're sick new little friends. I know. I can do besties. So cute. I know. And she feels great now. But the first time I said the blood pressure thing

and I think she felt quite nauseous. But she's like, now I actually feel it. She's like, sometimes I weirdly forget that I'm pregnant. And I'm like, oh, like, she's like, how did I forget for five seconds? So like, it's so weird. All the time. Like even yesterday, just strolling around, like,

you couldn't feel my bump. Someday the bump's so heavy. And then the other days you feel so light and you're just like, oh my God. I like honestly forget it. And you feel so great and so normal. And then you really have to. remember like the other day I ran home from so I like suddenly realized I was late and I just started

running and I was like the minute I started jogging I was like that just obviously people run when they're pregnant but it just I suddenly realized I was like what I just felt like movement I was like I was like I literally just completely forgot for that moment in time oh my god no but I do always have complete nightmares that I'm at parties and I'm downing vodka like it's honestly throughout my whole pregnancy I've had it And it's like, nonstop. Shut up. Yeah, downing it.

The one of them was at Candy Kittens and you gave me a drink and you were like, I think this one's mock down. I'm not me. And I drink it and I'm like, oh no, it's vodka and I'm like, taste nice. And I drink it. And then you go, you're pregnant and I go, no, don't. It's so scary. And I wake up and I have to go, it wasn't real, it wasn't real, it wasn't real. And then I go back to them.

I do, but I need to tell you about this dream, guys. I told Melissa, so I have very vivid, bizarre dreams since being pregnant. my latest one was that I was basically cheating on Jamie with the random girl I don't know who she was I will say she looked quite like Tate McCray

She was like Tate McCray in my dream And you're pregnant But you're also pregnant in your dream No not pregnant She found this whole new sexual self being pregnant in her dream Maybe this is like my new craving Yeah

God So then there was like a Damon lookalite from Vampire's Jamie And Jamie was my husband in the dream Okay And then this girl and I was getting with them all on the same night and you, Melissa, was loosey-goosey floating around me like a fairy.

Jamie caught on or something was like, where do you keep going? And I was like, Melissa, I keep getting with these people. And you were like, oh, look at the lights. And I was like, Melissa, what am I going to do? My husband's going to break up me and you went, oh, you're fucked, they're all going to break up with you. They're darned, boys don't like, they don't like that sort of shit. And then you just wandered off into the distance.

And in the tree, I was like, She was like, he's catching on, but I can't stop myself from kissing this girl. It was really quite something, actually. It was weird because when I woke up, I wasn't like, was getting with the girl last night in my dream. I'm not sure what that means, who knows? But we've had a lesbian dream before. Actually, like, quite a few times. Never like that, like, weird.

But, like, I also have it when I'm, like, half awake. And I'm like, there's a girl in my bed. Why is there a girl on my head? Why, I'm spooning a girl and I'm like, is Toby it's fine? And it's like, I really freak myself out. And I'm like... I think we should really explore that. And I think it's because from when I'm like showering a bed with a girl.

Oh, yeah. And I'm like, oh no, it's not Toby. Like I can't like spoon that. Oh, no, it is true. And it's like this weird thing. And sometimes when I'm drinking, I then get a bit confused and delirious over who's in the bed. I don't exactly what you mean. It's also from being on the hem with Bella, I think, recently.

Where I've obviously been like, no, don't spoon her. That's weird. Like, that's not your boyfriend. It's fucking Bella in the bed, wake up. Oh, my God. That's so funny. You were just drunk. and your natural thing to do when you're drunk is it's been Toby

and you had to like really be like... And it happens sometimes then when I'm in bed with Toby where I'm like, is this Toby or is it someone I'm sharing a bed with this, a girl? Oh my God, it's just so good, isn't it? Yeah. I would honestly, to this day, I just love to have a dream specialist. However, if you really want to go into depth about your own dreams, one of Penny Jamie's mum's friends was telling me,

you have to wake yourself up every time you have a dream and write like a full page of what your dream is about to properly study your dreams. But apparently if you do, like, you will learn so much about your subconscious. Like, every dream means something. I don't think I need to learn anything about my subconscious. I agree. I'm happy with, you know what I mean?

I'm like, people are like, I have a knotted back. Toby's like trying to massage it. And I'm like, I don't know, it really hurts. And he's like, that's because you hold trauma in your knots. You should explore that. I'm like, no, no. I don't have fucking trauma in my knots in the back of me. I have zero trauma that's ever happened to me in my life.

Zero. Tobes, he's very spiritual. like that i think he's almost like desperate for me to have something wrong with me anxiety wise so that he feels like we're on a level playing field and i'm like hum oh my god he does oh my god he does so he's got this new trick of contouring her nose and i've never seen anything quite like i was looking at her nose and i was like i've never seen something so snatched and perfect and i'll say what have you done differently okay right tell everyone my listen was like you need to share you can't get this okay so i have the shot you have the

Charlotte Tilby contour lip liner, which is what's gone missing in this room. I must find it. Because I think it's very out of stock. I don't know what's going on. Anyway, it's like one side of it is like, it's a double-sided lip liner. One side's contour and the other is like an iconic nude, say. And I use the brown, the contour and I draw on my nose the contour. And it's just, it's so precise and amazing. Is it on there? Okay, you've got about it. I call it. I call. contour my nose like I'm drawing a painting rather than with like a thick oily contour stick because it's so dry, that's it. This is it. What shade did you get medium? Okay, so we've got fair, medium, tan, deep? No, I got like maybe fair or medium. Medium, yeah.

Medium. And so I draw on my nose and because the thing with contouring your nose with like a contour stick, it's very oily and the contour is very thick. So you can't really get precise lines. and this just stays all day. Like, it's so much like... It's also the most undetectable contour I've ever seen because it is so thin.

You're like, is it there or is it not? I know. I was trying to work it out. Yeah, it's brilliant. Pair that with the freckles. Chef's kiss of a nose. But also, I have been nosedaping my nose since being pregnant. So I don't know whether that's been doing it

because I was so scared of the pregnancy nose well. Touch wood, touch, touch, touch with. That I just have nosed taped my nose for now a long, long time. so give a tutorial and that at some point because I'm sure the buddies would love to see. I really should. Can you use that not pregnant and it still makes a difference? I'm sure it would help.

Yes, yes. Because you do just swell in your nose, don't you? Yeah, particularly if you've had like salty or like alcohol, like you're my nose as well. I'm just not very good on TikTok as we all know. I'm just quite a collab with the Wednesdays and the newly words and that's as far as it goes for me. I need to get better.

Okay, what else has been going on? The Beckham's. Oh yeah. Right. So Nicola Pouts and Brooklyn have just got their vows. renewed a year, three years after their wedding. Fair enough, it's been three years. And they just did it with the Nicola's family.

Yeah, the Peltzes. Really. And then a statement, like, they posted it online. This is such an important day for us. It's really fucking shady and weird. It's just mean. I just am so non-ante Nicola and so pro-Victorian, David. I'm just like, oh, God, like,

and then it makes me annoyed with Brooklyn. So I'm like, just get a grip and be nice, your family. How are you, like, you're being a bit weak? I agree. Like, why are you like, oh, be a man? I like, what have the Beckham's done wrong? Like, I can't imagine Victoria doing. Also, I swear they were all, like, in Miami together.

They were on a boat, like, they were all friends. Like, what's changed? I don't know. I feel like Nicola's just a control freak. I'm not liking it. I will say she did look really stunning in her wedding photos. Oh my gosh, she's absolutely beautiful. And I once saw her and so beautiful.

And I was like. Her eyes. She's like a drawing. She looks exactly the same in real life. Yeah, I bet. It's interesting because, like, Haley and Justin, like, their families don't even cross my mind. Like, I wonder about when... The family's aren't that famous.

Well, Hades is. That's how she's famous. Why, it's like her uncle's that her dad? Isn't that her dad? No. It's like her uncle. I thought Alec Baldwin was her dad. And then her other uncle was the one that was in Gossip Bell.

Her dad's, like, done like, nothing, really. He's not like David and Victoria Beckham. He were, like, literally iPhones. Yeah, they are actual icons, at me. I would say they're like one of the most famous people in the world David Beckman and Victoria back then I really think they are

David surely is like one of the most famous people in the world Agreed also please tell me speaking of footballers The ring No no Not the egg I'm not sure That could literally surely end poverty

Like I don't actually think it's very tasteful posting that I'm like can we I just don't I don't know I guess you could say that about so many different things It's not for me that big rock Okay, right. So Rinaldo, Cristiano Rinaldo, we must describe what we're talking about. The Cristiano Rinaldo has just proposed to Georgina and the rock on her finger is out of the world.

Yeah, they've been together, I think, like 10 years, a long time. I think they're babies together and stuff. Oh, God, yeah. Have you not watched her program on Netflix? No. Melissa, there's three seasons or something. It's absolutely 10 out of 10. Oh my God, that's what I've been to watch. Trash in the best way.

She's, yeah, she's like Latina, she's like a mama. She is just like feisty and fiery. And he, people think she's his beard. But then people think I'm Jamie's beard. So what are we going to do about that? People say that about so many different people. What's a lavender relationship? Is that the same thing?

Yes. A lavender husband is. Oh my God. Someone wrote that under article the other day. And I was like, what's a lavender relationship, Jamie? Hello. Hello, I'm Elizabeth Day. and host of How to Fail. It's the podcast that celebrates the things in life that haven't gone

right. And what, if anything, we've learned from those mistakes to help us succeed better? Each week, my guests share three failures, sparking intimate, thought-provoking and funny conversations. You'll hear from a diverse range of voices sharing what they've learned through their failures. Join me Wednesdays for a new episode each week. This is an Elizabeth Day in Sony Music Entertainment Original podcast. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, doke. Should we go into some dilemmas? Yesy. Okay, dilemma one.

Hey girls. Okay, so I'm 99% sure my boyfriend is about to propose. We're going away, so you know I'm coming back with a ring. I'm so excited. I'm really struggling not to tell anyone. And even whilst I keep almost blotting it out, Tim. so here's my dilemma we've never really discussed it but i really want our engagement to be something we tell our friends and family together i don't want him telling loads of people beforehand i think it makes it way less special when we share the news the problem is i don't know how to drop the hint without giving away the fact i know he's about to propose is there a subtle way to bring

it up or is it too late and i just need to let the proposal happen also do you have any tips for the lead-up now's outfit etc how do i get proposal ready without screaming, I know what you're doing, and ruin it. P.S. A photo of us attached. Right, can I just say, no boy tells anyone either? I don't really answer. Some boys do. What? Oh my God, so cute.

That is so bizarre. Why would a boy ruin it and tell everyone? Well, they might tell everyone, but he might just be excited and tell his friends that I think he's doing it. I don't know. I don't think they do. Like, I knew that Matt was proposing to Bonty so long. But that's your best, best, best, best, his best friend. Yeah. Jamie didn't tell a single soul, not one person.

Yeah. I think one thing to consider here is that actually it's not, the proposing isn't a we thing, it's a him thing. Yeah, I agree. Like, otherwise you should be doing it if you want it to be your way. It's his only moment. Like, it's his moment and his question to ask. So you can't tell them what to do.

That's just trying to control too many situations here, I fear. And I fear to let you know that it's actually still amazing when you both call your friends and family, even if you know. Like, my dad knew and he still cried. We picked up the phone and we're like, we're engaged. But Jamie would obviously ask him like two months prior. You know, like it doesn't take away from the magic. Toby saying to me, I'm going to propose to Melissa is one thing.

Melissa calling me with the ring on her finger crying is a whole love of it. Yes. Ultimately, it's like saying someone's going to buy your birthday present and like you're trying to control how they do it. It's that you can't do that. Look, I think Melissa's so right. It's so special and it's not really about the perfect proposal. like it's about him like let him do it how he wants to do it

like they've they they're so it's their moment you're so right he's so excited and then from the moment on from you being engaged it's all your moment exactly two years three years however long you want to have an engagement like that's your whole wedding's really all day too and you know every you've got a lot

just take one that you can control this is the one thing that you should just have to let's slide I couldn't agree more. Do you have any tips for her with the lead-up to the proposal? Right. Listen, lead up, get your nails done immediately. And also wear a nice outfit and do like nice hair and makeup because I tied up a trackies, my hair was wet. And then we FaceTime to everyone straight away.

And I just like, it's not quite, that is one thing I regret. But I did get my nails done, ish. I didn't have time to get a manicure. So I just got them to take off my, I had like chipped black nails on. So I got them to take that off and just do a clear strengthening coat. I remember I last... It was very classy. Because I just knew I had this last minute panic.

I thought, what if we're... And so I just ran and got it. And he had that half an hour to do it. Yeah. So just always, if you're ever suspicious, just always have your nails down. My sister always had her nails down for like a year. Dilemma 2. Hello, girls.

I'm getting major ick from my boy. friend please help. We're in our early 30s and we've been together for three years. We love each other. Do you know? No. You don't. Our relationship is blissful and all that jazz. He lives with me in a rented flam. We're about to move into our first home together. And you've got it. Right now he has a long commute so he's up at 5am to leave by 6. When we move his commute will be 20 minutes and that's better. So here is the Ecos part. Sometimes, actually fairly often he doesn't brush his teeth for work. it's like another ibooker situation no no that's worse and girls let me tell you my senses are on in the morning and if i he hasn't rushed his teeth it rips me out of my slumber

and it's all i can think about i'm not fucking surprised it's disgusting but what do you mean does he brush him when he gets to work it's gross and hygienic and quite frankly i can't cope with it anymore i asked him outright why he doesn't do it and what his excuse was he's running late and doesn't have time no how do you not have time by bye see you later Bye, we are over. Can I just say, this is a root issue. This is going to lead to way more other things. Yeah, there's trauma there. This isn't right. There's trauma going on somewhere. That is severely wrong. He's running lately. It doesn't have time. It takes two minutes. The other morning I caught him scrolling on his phone before he left the house. It took all my willpower not to rip the phone out of his hand and scream, fucking brush your teeth. I'm not surprised.

What do I do? It's seriously giving me the it to the point where I don't want to kiss him. I'm not honestly. Probably when I'm on my period, I've mentally broken up with him over it. Help me, girl, Lee. He's a photo of us. I think we've got on the picture. Right. Can I just say, I love you so much, but I would literally not be able to come back from that.

Like, I'm really sorry, but I'm so upset with him. Well, you guys are really cute because that's a shame, but I'm like getting me it too. What are we going to do about this? Listen, I really like you. You look so lovely, and he's got a lovely, smiley, gorgeous face, but I have major it from looking at him because I just know he doesn't brush. There's nothing worse than bad breath. No, it's not the bad breath as long as you brush. your teeth like there's someone who's got bad breath doesn't have rotting gums no i know but like think

of so-and-so who's got bad breath like that doesn't ick me out it's like oh you've got bad breath if you've tried to brush your teeth like that's not icky it's just like oh that's a shame like we need to sort of that with bad gut yeah yeah not brushing your teeth is like grime it's like thick yellow grime it's i remember at school there was a girl who didn't brush her teeth and i could see the plaque on her teeth at school and i'd be like that is so bizarre See a plaque in between people's teeth. It's disgusting. That white, yellowy stuff.

Yeah, like when people are older. I see it on a lot of people, especially in the sunlight. I know. And they have really lovely white teeth and I'm like, well, you've got fucking loads of plaque. Go to the hygienist. Go to the hygienist. I'm literally, I'm in the hygienist.

I'm in the hygienist every four months. There's no excuse for plaque. No excuse. I think that a lot. Right. I have a theory. I don't know how you're going to get your boyfriend to brush his teeth. In my mind, you have to break up.

Oh, me too. And also, sorry, I'm so far gone. It's not the fact he's not brushing his teeth. Even if he made it, it's the fact he never wanted to brush his teeth. He doesn't want to brush his teeth. He actually likes his breath like that, and he likes that taste in his mouth. If you're not brushing your teeth, what are outside of you cleaning? Like, I don't think you're washing your hands after you do a poo or go for a wee.

I don't know how we're going to navigate this, but you might have to just... You might... It's never been brushed in his whole life, I'm sure of it. I hate to think that mossy furry tongue. It's nothing worse in a mossy tongue. you need to just say to him I'm finding it really hard you need to be honest

I don't want to kiss you because your breath doesn't smell good there's obviously things going on you're not brushing your teeth I couldn't like you have every right to say that how are you not saying it

like what I don't understand I know you're holding your tongue because you don't seem bossy but who fucking gives the shit I would say to him like it's actually make a break for me like this is I'm not and like if you're laughing about this

I'm not like this is so so severe like if you're not brushing your teeth at this day it's really like there's no excuse. I'm so offended. I know. I am so highly offended by this whole thing. It's like we eat, we go to the loo and we brush our fucking teeth and we shower. Even when I've been like right one night stand vibes of boys or like I've been seeing somebody loosely and like they don't bring their toothbrush over like they're borrowing my toothbrush. I know that's what they're doing. I can

hear the toothbrush going off like they're not holding that. They're getting their teeth brushed. And I would do the same. Yeah, I would do the same. I've gone over to boys' houses and I've borrowed their toothbrush on the slide. I'm not not brushing my fucking d. I don't want to be lame and presumptuous and bring the toothbrush with me so I'm obviously going to borrow theirs. And it is kind of rancid when their toothbrush is like all grimy but like you just got to get it done. Like

and none of this bullshit like some girls like just brush their teeth with like their tissue like get just get the brush, get the toothbrush, get the mint in and just brush your teeth. I'm not, I just can't wrap my reign around this. Good luck. Good luck. He's sending you lots of love and good luck because this is fudge. Right.

Got a follow-up. Yeah. Hey girls. Okay, guys, it's a follow-up. So it's big news. Hey, girls. I absolutely love the pod and listen every week. I was driving and listening to your latest episodes

when one of the stories sounded very familiar. It's the one about the girl who's dating a lad with a tattoo on his bum. I think that tattoo might actually be my name. No. Fucking way. It's a long shot, but as I listened, everything started clicking into place. No, no, I don't believe it. I've got goosebumps. Look at my life.

This is so weird. This is giving Barcelona boy. When I was 17, I went to Magaloof, and there happened to be a group of lives from our school out there at the same time. One night, one of them lost his mates and ended up bumping into me and my friends. We were all very drunk, and I dared him to get a tattoo. I even said I'd pay for it if he got my name, and he actually did photo attached. Not to put the girl's mind at ease

Absolutely nothing happened between me and this lad Not even a kiss It was literally just ridiculous drunk and dare Oh, that changes everything Which I'm sure he regrets this day I could be wrong And it might not be my name But I hope you get a laugh out of it anyway

We need to find out From the girl Oh my god, you're so sweet What's the name? I can't see the name It's like She laughs Oh my god he's got a sweet little bum as well I really like

He does have a good bum Like, he's just quite sweet-looking. Like, this is so unicky. Going from the tooth. This is so unicky. And actually, you know what? That would make the tattoo a lot more bearable. 100%.

It's quite funny, but also, like... I can't believe the chances of you listening to the podcast and thinking, and remembering this. This is, like, such... Who got two tattoos? Yeah, what's the one about? An eyeball, I think. It's very, very strange.

Oh, God, it's so funny. That is so niche. I honestly think this. guy's bum's so sweet. Sophie's like really in her third trimester era. She's absolutely crushing on this bum. She is obsessed. Can I just how you why?

Because I've just been so repulsed. My bad, I think it's because my head was like. I think it's because I was so repulsed by the tooth guy. Then to see this clean looking bum that's so inicky. I'm like, oh God, thank God I'm not icked out by everyone here. But in fact, my marriage here Honestly, I'm trying to keep to the dilemma And she's just going

The Butchies is so cute Let me get back to the task at hand, please Oh my God, I keep the task at hand, right Well, there's nothing to see of them That is freaking hilarious I hope the girl who's got that boyfriend With the tattoo on the bum listens to this and laughs Yes

And feels as threatened Yes Or triggered Also this is now your story because of this whole thing. Like, you've taken the power over this tattoo, weirdly, by being, like, I wrote in to Wednesdays. It was funny. Like, they spoke about it.

And then a girl whose name it was wrote in and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you've now got your own print on this. You do. Like, the tattoo, you own it now. Yeah. But what we need to figure out is just to confirm that this is the name. If you are listening and you wrote in the story and it is your boyfriend with that name, we've got this girl's name. If she wants to be kept to anonymous, please write it.

the tattoo on your boyfriend's name and then we can confirm or to die because the ties need to know we won't sleep at night not right we need to put this to rest and then we can close the case but also you put this tattoo on the map do you know what I mean

it's pretty fucking cool I think after all this you should play it to him and also you should get your name tattooed like you should just have a line put through and then your name you're so right then it's even more of a funny story it's actually iconic really it's really good vibes actually this.

Do you remember that guy who was like everyone was dating the same guy and he had a cavapoo or cockapoo? Yes. Just like it's really distinct memory. Yeah, and they realised that they were dating the same person because of the dog. And then I think one of them found out on this Facebook page

called, are we dating the same guy or something? Yeah. Yeah, well this is giving that sort of era but I mean it's not. It's just funny how we're like linking women up across the country. Yeah, but all the community. Just sort of fix these problems.

and stories. Parmise at our ass. Look, okay, right. Please write in and confirm. That's so funny. That's fucking hilarious. And the visual aid is really good. Yeah, that really made my day for sure.
