Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_04: Welcome back to Fuck Off Fridays with your girl Liv and your girl Charlie.
- 0:09SPEAKER_04: Unfortunately, we fucked up and we forgot to do the intro this week.
- 0:13SPEAKER_04: So here you have Liv alone.
- 0:16SPEAKER_04: Fully enough, under a duvet doing a recording to do this because that's what producer Rich said to do.
- 0:22SPEAKER_04: So anyway, you know what to do.
- 0:23SPEAKER_04: Grab yourself a beverage, sit down, and off we fucking go.
- 0:33SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna ask you first.
- 0:35SPEAKER_04: Your fuck off of the week, please, my lady.
- 0:38SPEAKER_02: We're doing our fuck off of the week first.
- 0:40SPEAKER_02: Bring her a little bit closer.
- 0:41SPEAKER_04: Please tell me.
- 0:42SPEAKER_02: Um, okay, so just public service announcement.
- 0:45SPEAKER_02: LinkedIn is not the place to get PT clients, nor is it the place to hit on women.
- 0:51SPEAKER_02: LinkedIn is a professional platform for networking for business relationships.
- 0:56SPEAKER_02: So, man who I will not name, please do not slide into my DMs.
- 1:02SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna read out the messages.
- 1:06SPEAKER_02: Morning Charlie, how's your thurs going?
- 1:09SPEAKER_02: Not Thursday, thurs.
- 1:10SPEAKER_02: Ugh.
- 1:11SPEAKER_02: Great to connect.
- 1:12SPEAKER_02: Is recruitment getting better now with AI and LinkedIn, or do you prefer old school in brackets phone?
- 1:19SPEAKER_04: Like, what do you mean?
- 1:20SPEAKER_04: Who's not cringing as they're typing that?
- 1:21SPEAKER_02: There's no punctuation in there.
- 1:23SPEAKER_02: I didn't enjoy the whole thing.
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so I said, Hi Glenn.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: Interested to understand what your angle is here.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: Your strap line doesn't scream recruitment or finance.
- 1:32SPEAKER_02: So if it's a way to tell me that I should be on GLP1, you might be barking up the wrong tree.
- 1:38SPEAKER_02: And I will pause it here to read out his strapline on his LinkedIn.
- 1:41SPEAKER_02: Oh God.
- 1:42SPEAKER_02: It says, I help women keep their results after GLP1.
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: Founder Beyond the Jab.
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: So if anyone who doesn't know what GLP1 is, that's essentially what's in like your Manjaro, your weight loss jabs.
- 1:56SPEAKER_02: So obviously I see this and I'm immediately like, okay, so do you A think that I need the weight loss jabs?
- 2:04SPEAKER_02: Do you B, think that I need help beyond weight loss jabs because I look like I've lost weight?
- 2:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what's his exactly, or do you think that because I work in a desk job that I'm therefore an inactive person?
- 2:18SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so he responds, angle question mark.
- 2:21SPEAKER_02: Nope, just having a convo.
- 2:23SPEAKER_02: I do work with a load of recruiters, and that's prob where I added you from.
- 2:27SPEAKER_02: The GLP1 stuff as a recent addition, Charlie.
- 2:29SPEAKER_02: Smiley face.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: Now there's a lot of things that fuck me off about this message.
- 2:34SPEAKER_02: I don't like people calling me by my name.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: So it's a it's a sales tech technique that some people use where if you say the name of the person at the end of the sentence, Olivia, it keeps the person engaged, Olivia.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: What do you think about that, Olivia?
- 2:46SPEAKER_04: It makes me want to punch you in the teeth and/or the vag.
- 2:49SPEAKER_04: Stop saying my name.
- 2:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:51SPEAKER_04: Honestly.
- 2:52SPEAKER_04: It's not Destiny's show.
- 2:53SPEAKER_04: No, fuck off.
- 2:57SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I then reply.
- 2:59SPEAKER_02: Appreciate the honesty, Glenn.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: And I purposely put Oh, I've just said his name.
- 3:02SPEAKER_02: Okay, I've not said to beat that.
- 3:04SPEAKER_02: I've not no, I've not said his surname.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: Leave it in.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: His name was Glenn, spelt with two ends.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: I put it in with one just to rage base.
- 3:11SPEAKER_02: Helping us here.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: Christ.
- 3:13SPEAKER_02: I'm probably not your typical desk bound recruiter.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: You're gonna hate this, as I do high rocks.
- 3:17SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 3:18SPEAKER_02: You are a bellet.
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, all right.
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: I'm just trying to get my point across though.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: I train four to five times a week and I ride four days a week.
- 3:23SPEAKER_02: So I'll pass on the coaching.
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: If you ever need to hire or know someone looking for a move, give me a shout, and then I put a sarcastic thumbs up.
- 3:29SPEAKER_02: Ah, passive aggressive.
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: If I ever thumbs up you, 99.9% of the time, it's a sound mate thumbs up.
- 3:36SPEAKER_04: If you ever thumbs up me, I will drive to your abode and punch you.
- 3:42SPEAKER_04: Because I never deserve that.
- 3:44SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: Every now and again I will use it as an emoji reaction on WhatsApp to a message.
- 3:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:49SPEAKER_02: That's okay.
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: So if I if you ever get that from me, don't be offended.
- 3:52SPEAKER_02: But if I send a singular thumbs up, like a dad thumbs up, for me, whilst from a dad, it's like, yeah, okay.
- 4:00SPEAKER_02: My dad loves a thumbs up.
- 4:01SPEAKER_02: But if it comes from me, it's a sarcastic, it's basically a middle finger.
- 4:04SPEAKER_04: It's like my girl loose when she goes, Righto, you know she's fucking C then.
- 4:08unknown: Fuck me.
- 4:09SPEAKER_02: Righto, right oh.
- 4:12SPEAKER_02: And then he just replied with Charlie.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: Thanks for the reply.
- 4:16SPEAKER_02: Good luck with the competition.
- 4:19SPEAKER_02: At what point have I said I'm doing a competition?
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: Oh, high rocks.
- 4:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I'm just doing high rocks.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: I'm not doing yeah, I'm not doing a competition.
- 4:26SPEAKER_02: Anyway, it really riled me up because for like as I said, for multiple reasons, but ultimately To what end?
- 4:35SPEAKER_04: I really want to know.
- 4:36SPEAKER_04: Because people on LinkedIn when they message you, it's like, oh, we just want to connect.
- 4:41SPEAKER_04: For a what though?
- 4:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:42SPEAKER_04: More often than not, I don't want to connect with you.
- 4:45SPEAKER_02: No, it's because either you know somebody, or for me, someone I connect with someone because I either want them to be a client or I want them to be a candidate.
- 4:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:53SPEAKER_02: I'm networking.
- 4:54SPEAKER_02: That's what LinkedIn is for.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: But this guy, I don't want to be a PT client.
- 4:58SPEAKER_02: This fucking guy.
- 4:59SPEAKER_02: This guy, and I don't want to use the jabs.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: Like, respect to anyone that has used them.
- 5:05SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm not respect, but like if you need them for medical reasons, then fine.
- 5:09SPEAKER_02: It's actually a diabetic treatment.
- 5:11SPEAKER_02: I learnt a lot listening to some doctor on Jamie Lang's podcast.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Very insightful.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: It's an hour and a half episode, but I learnt a lot.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: If you need them for genuine weight loss or to manage your diabetes, fine.
- 5:22SPEAKER_02: But this guy coming for me thinking that I'm gonna be one of his weight loss clients.
- 5:29SPEAKER_02: Do I do I need to work out more?
- 5:31SPEAKER_02: Should I be paranoid?
- 5:32SPEAKER_04: No, I just think just ignore him.
- 5:34unknown: What a gun.
- 5:35SPEAKER_04: I know you got it was a rage bait for you.
- 5:38SPEAKER_04: Massive rage bait for you.
- 5:39SPEAKER_04: For me, I would have probably just gone womp.
- 5:42SPEAKER_04: Bye, Glenn.
- 5:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:44SPEAKER_04: Because I just can't be asked, I just can't be asked to give that person the time of day.
- 5:48SPEAKER_04: No.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: But I know for you it was like LinkedIn is my professional version of Instagram, you know.
- 5:53SPEAKER_04: But I told you this before, I'm sure LinkedIn is like the new Tinder or something.
- 5:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I have had it years ago, not so much now, but people would slide into the DMs and I was like, this is not this is not a dating dating area.
- 6:04SPEAKER_02: No no.
- 6:04SPEAKER_02: It's weird.
- 6:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 6:06SPEAKER_02: It's creepy almost.
- 6:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I didn't enjoy it.
- 6:08SPEAKER_02: Anyway, watch all fuck off of the week.
- 6:11SPEAKER_04: Ay, ay, ay, yeah.
- 6:13SPEAKER_04: Um, well, my fuck off of the week is I I'm sure I've said this before, like I'm sure I've said it before, but I'm going to say it louder for the people in the back.
- 6:26SPEAKER_02: Hello, can you hear us?
- 6:29SPEAKER_04: It is a privilege to know what's going on in my life, not a right.
- 6:34SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 6:36SPEAKER_04: So, therefore, can everyone who isn't in my life intimately stop going around and asking people who are in my life intimately?
- 6:45SPEAKER_04: What's going on in my life?
- 6:47SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
- 6:49SPEAKER_04: Because then I get texts from people going, oh so and so said this, so and so said this, or whatever.
- 6:55SPEAKER_04: And it's like they're doing it in a nice way, they're not shits.
- 6:57SPEAKER_04: These people are doing it in a nice way, they're not shit.
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: By the way, this person said it's like.
- 7:00SPEAKER_04: And they've had to they've had to step in and go, enough now.
- 7:05SPEAKER_04: Um, but it's like it doesn't benefit you.
- 7:08SPEAKER_04: You don't need to know.
- 7:11SPEAKER_04: Please stop asking.
- 7:13SPEAKER_04: Please stop.
- 7:14SPEAKER_04: And if one thing I will say is like when people like the small talk is getting that small, the thoughts are getting smaller.
- 7:21SPEAKER_04: So like there's no benefit to it.
- 7:23SPEAKER_04: You're just going around in circles asking what's going on with loads of other people's lives, and it doesn't it doesn't need to be done.
- 7:28SPEAKER_04: Really doesn't need to be done.
- 7:30SPEAKER_02: I don't understand it.
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: I always think people that are like aimlessly gossiping about people are just deflecting from their own boring lives.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah, fair.
- 7:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:42SPEAKER_02: But also just knows where it's not welcome.
- 7:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, if you have an issue with someone, like I'm not gonna walk on eggshells and manage your expectations or your feelings or whatever.
- 7:52SPEAKER_04: If you have an issue with me, please just fucking tell me.
- 7:56SPEAKER_04: I can't be asked to go, oh, well, they won't they?
- 7:59SPEAKER_04: Are they not?
- 7:59SPEAKER_04: I I'm not doing it.
- 8:02SPEAKER_04: If you've got something to say, just say it.
- 8:04SPEAKER_04: You don't even have to say it in a nasty way.
- 8:07SPEAKER_04: Like just it's not that hard.
- 8:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it isn't.
- 8:10SPEAKER_04: But I hate this, and it goes back to that old thing of like people rallying people and going, what's going on with them?
- 8:15SPEAKER_04: What's going on with them?
- 8:16SPEAKER_04: What's going on?
- 8:18SPEAKER_04: I think we're all guilty of it, especially when people, you know, gossip to gossip is I suppose like kind of not natural, but most people do it.
- 8:27SPEAKER_04: But I think it's when it's to the detriment of other people and you're trying to spin a narrative if you've literally if you've got no facts and you're just digging, stop.
- 8:43SPEAKER_04: Because who is that person then gonna go to?
- 8:45SPEAKER_04: They're not gonna come to me and go, Oh, are you okay?
- 8:47SPEAKER_04: No, they're just gonna go around the houses.
- 8:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, talking about it to everyone else.
- 8:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:50SPEAKER_04: If you want to do something really fun, and I did this last year.
- 8:52SPEAKER_04: Ah, tell them something wrong.
- 8:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah, spread something wrong.
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, start spreading fake news.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, and it's amazing how how quickly it spreads.
- 8:59SPEAKER_04: Everyone thinks I'm a lesbian.
- 9:01SPEAKER_04: It's great.
- 9:02SPEAKER_04: You are, that's why.
- 9:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:03SPEAKER_04: But I I swing, I peg men on the side.
- 9:08SPEAKER_02: We call her Peggy in her spare time.
- 9:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I do have an Insta, I will share it.
- 9:12SPEAKER_02: An and only fans.
- 9:14SPEAKER_04: No, it it's honestly, I just I am just gonna start saying shit.
- 9:19SPEAKER_02: We've spoken about this a number of times, but I think if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
- 9:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:26SPEAKER_02: Nice, plain and simple.
- 9:27SPEAKER_02: Um, keep your nose out of other people's business.
- 9:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:30SPEAKER_02: Unless you are genuinely concerned for that person's welfare, just be mindful.
- 9:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:37SPEAKER_02: Stop being a gossip.
- 9:39SPEAKER_04: Save the gossip of the Daily Mail.
- 9:41SPEAKER_04: As I said earlier, people that preach and want to have a say, you have to be squeaky fucking clean yourself.
- 9:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:50SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 9:52SPEAKER_04: Squeaky fucking clean.
- 9:54SPEAKER_04: Jesus.
- 9:55SPEAKER_04: You have to be Jesus.
- 9:55SPEAKER_04: And he wasn't even squeaky clean.
- 9:57SPEAKER_04: But that's what I'll accept.
- 10:00SPEAKER_04: Just saying.
- 10:01SPEAKER_02: Mic drop.
- 10:03SPEAKER_02: Uh, what are you loving this week on a positive note?
- 10:06SPEAKER_02: Well, Saturday night I went to a harvest supper with um the North Cotswold hunt.
- 10:12SPEAKER_02: Lots of people don't like hunting, but hunting, hunting, hunting.
- 10:15SPEAKER_02: Trail hunting.
- 10:16SPEAKER_02: Um, that a friend of mine organized.
- 10:20SPEAKER_02: Friend of mine organized, and it was basically to bring all of the farmers together to celebrate harvest.
- 10:24SPEAKER_02: And she brought along a friend of hers called Kat Brown, who is a journalist and a huge Jilly Cooper fan.
- 10:29SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: So she is basically she created a book club when she was many years ago.
- 10:36SPEAKER_02: She was mad on Jilly growing up, found a lot of other people who were also mad on Jilly, to the point where they would then go to Jilly's house for these wild lunches.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: And she said that there was one time where she blacked out in a cab on the way back to the station.
- 10:50SPEAKER_02: Sounds about right.
- 10:51SPEAKER_02: She said she's never seen so much champagne in her life.
- 10:55SPEAKER_02: Sounds like a riot.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: And she said to the point where if people would stay, Jilly would leave an alcohol seltzer on their bedside table because she knew they'd all be hungover the next morning.
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: And she just told all these really lovely stories, spoke about rivals.
- 11:08SPEAKER_02: She's doing the rivals podcast, which is really fun.
- 11:10SPEAKER_02: She's keen to come on our podcast, which is really fun.
- 11:14SPEAKER_02: But it was just really a really joyful evening.
- 11:18SPEAKER_02: And I yeah, I loved it.
- 11:20SPEAKER_02: It was nice to like bring the farming community together and um yeah, and hear all about our gal Julie.
- 11:26SPEAKER_02: And Rivals part two of series two is out very soon.
- 11:31SPEAKER_02: So yeah, very much looking forward to that.
- 11:34SPEAKER_04: You and I had two very different weekends.
- 11:36SPEAKER_04: Yes, we did.
- 11:39SPEAKER_04: Mine ended up with one of my friends getting into a dog bed, like a dog crate, but yeah, yours ended up with a harvest supper.
- 11:48SPEAKER_04: Oh, at some point I'll grow up.
- 11:50SPEAKER_02: I love it.
- 11:51SPEAKER_02: Is that what you're loving this week?
- 11:52SPEAKER_04: The dog crate, yeah.
- 11:54SPEAKER_04: No, well, I I am loving the girls this weekend, to be fair.
- 11:57SPEAKER_04: Like, um, Soph arrived Thursday night.
- 12:02SPEAKER_04: Um, and then Ellen arrived Friday morn.
- 12:07SPEAKER_04: So they both went back.
- 12:08SPEAKER_04: One went back Sunday, one went back Monday, and we pretty much spent like the whole time, I won't lie, getting boozed.
- 12:16SPEAKER_04: It was great.
- 12:16SPEAKER_04: Blowing off some steam.
- 12:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:18SPEAKER_04: Um, and there was an instance where one of the girls uh was trying to send a funny photo into our WhatsApp group because she was like, Oh, look at this sunburn from ages ago.
- 12:34SPEAKER_04: She looked at me and she went, I don't know where that's gone, but it's not in the group chat.
- 12:38SPEAKER_04: And then one of the others goes, Yeah, because that's on your WhatsApp story.
- 12:42SPEAKER_04: She'd posted her bare sunburn sunburn ass onto her WhatsApp story, and she all the others was laughing so much.
- 12:50SPEAKER_04: She took me and she's like, Liv, Liv, delete it, delete it, delete it.
- 12:53SPEAKER_04: I was like, Why is the pressure on me at this point?
- 12:55SPEAKER_04: How do I get rid of that?
- 12:56SPEAKER_04: How do I get rid of it?
- 12:56SPEAKER_04: And I was like, right, give me your phone.
- 12:59SPEAKER_02: How long was it on there for?
- 13:00SPEAKER_04: Maybe like maybe less than a minute.
- 13:03SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay, fine.
- 13:04SPEAKER_04: But it was so funny to see the stress and panic in her face because also at this point she'd done socks in her hair as heatless curlers.
- 13:12SPEAKER_02: That's what they were.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right.
- 13:14SPEAKER_04: So she looked ridiculous while panicking and going, my dad, my nan, my clients, everything.
- 13:20SPEAKER_04: Like, because she's a financial no.
- 13:23SPEAKER_02: This is why you must always have a work phone.
- 13:25SPEAKER_04: She has a really work phone, but she also uses her personal phone.
- 13:29SPEAKER_02: No.
- 13:30SPEAKER_04: So anyway, I took it down, but fucking hell, for the rest of the weekend it was like your ass was on WhatsApp, so it could be worse.
- 13:37SPEAKER_04: I don't think anyone really looks at WhatsApp stories.
- 13:39SPEAKER_02: I don't know how to post on a WhatsApp story, so I wouldn't know how to delete something off a WhatsApp story.
- 13:44SPEAKER_04: But it was fucking funny.
- 13:45SPEAKER_04: It was so fucking funny.
- 13:47SPEAKER_04: Um, and then I think I'm sure that was the night we came back and we were eating pitter.
- 13:53SPEAKER_04: And this is generally what I'm loving this week, by the way.
- 13:57SPEAKER_04: She Ellen got in the dog crate.
- 13:59SPEAKER_04: I was rolling around on the floor with her for no reason, and then in the end, what happened was Sophie was cutting up pitters, toasting them, putting them up, and Ellen was on the floor and we were throwing pitta into her mouth with hummus on, and honestly, the amount of hummus she had in her.
- 14:16SPEAKER_04: So it was just it was ridiculous, and it was feral, but I loved it.
- 14:20SPEAKER_04: I really needed it, yeah.
- 14:22SPEAKER_04: Especially to be around people that have known me 10, 12 years that I can just go with.
- 14:28SPEAKER_04: Do you know what I mean?
- 14:29SPEAKER_04: And I can talk about shit the good, the bad, the ugly.
- 14:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, judgment free zone.
- 14:34SPEAKER_04: I loved it.
- 14:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 14:36SPEAKER_02: Love that.
- 14:36SPEAKER_04: And I had a major cry when Ellen left on Monday because I was like, 'cause I it was quite nice because it was um separated.
- 14:43SPEAKER_04: One goes, and I was like, I can't lose you both the same day.
- 14:46SPEAKER_04: Don't fucking do this to me.
- 14:47SPEAKER_04: And then I was wheeling our suitcase out of my like past my house, and she's like, You okay?
- 14:54SPEAKER_04: You okay?
- 14:54SPEAKER_04: And I was like, just go because I'm gonna cry more.
- 14:56SPEAKER_04: And she's like, I didn't want to leave you while you're crying.
- 14:58SPEAKER_04: I was like, I'm going to cry more, please leave.
- 15:00SPEAKER_04: Because it's really hard because they live so far away now.
- 15:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:04SPEAKER_04: Um, but it was so fucking wholesome.
- 15:07SPEAKER_04: And I'm it's I would say it's a nice thing.
- 15:09SPEAKER_04: What a blessing it is to cry over people leaving you like that.
- 15:12SPEAKER_02: Well, like the friendship you have with them, I have with my best friends Maggie and Horror.
- 15:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and it's like when you're together, you can go like six months without seeing each other, but when you're together, it's just like like no time has passed at all.
- 15:23SPEAKER_02: And I those kind of friendships are real special.
- 15:26SPEAKER_04: But you can pick up, put down, you don't speak every day.
- 15:29SPEAKER_04: It's just it's but it's really calming, and you can just say whatever the fuck you need.
- 15:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and your conversations don't have a start and an end if you're like what's happening, so you just jump in at any random point.
- 15:39SPEAKER_04: I fucking forgot, buried the fucking lead, didn't I?
- 15:42SPEAKER_04: What happened Friday?
- 15:43SPEAKER_04: Every single one of us took an ADHD medication.
- 15:47SPEAKER_02: How was that?
- 15:48SPEAKER_04: Right, so I've now learnt that it works on me because apparently I have ADHD, works on Ellen because she has ADHD.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: If you don't have AD ADHD, it makes you supersonic.
- 16:00SPEAKER_04: What we worked out was Soph doesn't have ADHD.
- 16:03SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 16:03SPEAKER_04: She was gurning.
- 16:04SPEAKER_02: Should we all try this in one episode?
- 16:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:06SPEAKER_04: She was gurning.
- 16:07SPEAKER_01: I've got it, it won't it'll work for me.
- 16:09SPEAKER_04: She was bouncing around.
- 16:10SPEAKER_02: ADHD, bitch.
- 16:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 16:11SPEAKER_02: There we go.
- 16:12SPEAKER_04: She was honestly a fucking mentalist in the best way.
- 16:15SPEAKER_04: And then what was worse was she had a vodka red bull, and I'm like, Oh shit.
- 16:19SPEAKER_04: And she was like, So the energiser body.
- 16:21SPEAKER_04: Oh it was literally like five girls sat around a table, and everyone's like la la la la la la.
- 16:26SPEAKER_04: Like, not one conversation started, finished, ended.
- 16:29SPEAKER_04: It was, and I was like, guys, stop, guys, stop.
- 16:33SPEAKER_04: We can't finish one conversation.
- 16:36SPEAKER_04: Um, but yeah, it was it was mental.
- 16:38SPEAKER_04: I'm not advocating to take other people's drugs, by the way, but it was fucking funny.
- 16:42SPEAKER_04: And we realized very, very quickly that Soph was not a candidate because it just sent her the other way, and she was nuts.
- 16:51SPEAKER_04: She's like, I had to go to the bathroom because I thought I was gurning.
- 16:53SPEAKER_04: I was like, Yeah, people think you've done coke.
- 16:55SPEAKER_02: That's mental.
- 16:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:57SPEAKER_02: I mean, are you going to investigate this diagnosis further or I don't know?
- 17:02SPEAKER_04: Because at one point I was like, I feel very calm, like, no thoughts like I did last time.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 17:07SPEAKER_04: But then I just don't know.
- 17:09SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 17:10SPEAKER_04: Maybe it's that mix maybe you shouldn't mix it with booze.
- 17:12SPEAKER_02: I mean, I can't imagine that helps.
- 17:14SPEAKER_04: No.
- 17:14SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 17:15SPEAKER_04: I mean, I'm no because we were all just talking over each other by that point.
- 17:17SPEAKER_04: I've anyone that wanted to come and sit with us would have been like, nah.
- 17:20SPEAKER_02: I'm no pharmacist, but generally speaking, drugs don't.
- 17:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right in, tell us.
- 17:25SPEAKER_04: Probably not wise.
- 17:26SPEAKER_02: I do not recommend.
- 17:27SPEAKER_04: Married the lead, apologies.
- 17:31SPEAKER_02: Um, so I've got a fun story for you both.
- 17:33SPEAKER_02: Go forth.
- 17:33SPEAKER_02: Um, okay, so some friends of mine recently went on holiday for um my friend's 30th birthday, and they were booking to go to, it was like a hell of a trip, like two and a half weeks away.
- 17:47SPEAKER_02: They went to, I think, Tanzania for some time on the uh Zanzibar for some time on the beach, Tanzania then for safari, and they stayed at a few different safari camps.
- 17:56SPEAKER_02: Now, when they were booking it, he decided to book the honeymoon package because it was a good price.
- 18:02SPEAKER_02: And at the time I said, I was like, you do know some places need some places need evidence of like of marriage, like marriage certificate.
- 18:10SPEAKER_02: I was like, So are you sure that you when you get there, they're not then gonna do like a 180 and then sting you?
- 18:15SPEAKER_02: And you're saying, No, no, it'll be fine, it'll be fine.
- 18:17SPEAKER_02: Anyways, they they go on this trip, they get picked up by their first lodge, and on the back of their safari jeep is a is a wheel cover on the spare tire that says happy honeymoon, at which point my friend, the girl, is like dying inside.
- 18:30SPEAKER_02: She's like, fuck's sake, we're not on our honeymoon, we're just on holiday for her birthday.
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: And the guy's there, like wait the person picking me up, but big bunch of flowers, bottle of champagne, and they're like, Oh my god, I want to die.
- 18:41SPEAKER_02: Like, what do we do at this point?
- 18:42SPEAKER_02: Do we like, do we roll with it?
- 18:44SPEAKER_02: Neither of them have got rings on.
- 18:45SPEAKER_02: Put one on, right?
- 18:48SPEAKER_02: Fuck me.
- 18:49SPEAKER_02: The anxiety I had when they tell me this story.
- 18:52SPEAKER_02: So they were like, Fuck, what do we do?
- 18:53SPEAKER_02: And this is so they're on the way back.
- 18:55SPEAKER_02: Shoe fits, you lace that bitch up and you wear it.
- 18:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so they're going to the safari lodge and their guide is like, so like, talk me through the wedding.
- 19:03SPEAKER_02: How was it?
- 19:04SPEAKER_02: Motherfucker.
- 19:05SPEAKER_02: And they were like, Right, what do we do at this point?
- 19:06SPEAKER_02: So, to be fair, he then turns around and says, Look, we've actually not got married, like, it's her 30th birthday.
- 19:13SPEAKER_02: It was just a really good package, and he was like, Okay, fine.
- 19:15SPEAKER_02: Anyway, every single meal that they have, every lodge that they go to, every excursion they do, because they did like a hot air balloon ride, and which looked mental by the way.
- 19:25SPEAKER_02: Do you know that you start like on the floor?
- 19:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:28SPEAKER_02: I've never been on one, so I was like, This looks at me mental, like lying down, and then it like lifts up, and then you also have no control over where you land.
- 19:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, which is kind of wild.
- 19:37SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so they go on the hot air balloon safari and then they like all have breakfast together, and there's loads of other people there.
- 19:44SPEAKER_02: There's like three other couples who have all actually got married, and they do this whole like people come out with a cake and they're singing to everyone.
- 19:52SPEAKER_02: Meanwhile, it's my worst nightmare.
- 19:55SPEAKER_02: Well, it was for her.
- 19:56SPEAKER_02: I've seen the videos, and she's like, I just want to die.
- 19:59SPEAKER_02: All of the girls then have to get up and cut some cake in some like weird ceremony, and she said that all the other girls are like, We did it, girls, and she's like, What the fuck?
- 20:07SPEAKER_02: Like, that's a weird expression to me, anyway.
- 20:09SPEAKER_02: Like, we did it, like we locked a man down, like, okay, good for you.
- 20:13SPEAKER_02: Anyway, no, that good for you, father.
- 20:15SPEAKER_02: No, no, um, yeah, they said that pretty much, and I've seen all the videos, like every lodge that they're staying at, then we sat there having dinner, and then the next thing you know, they hear the starter singing, and she's there, like, fuck's sake, I can't take any more of this.
- 20:28SPEAKER_02: They basically had to just try and like pretend the rest of the week.
- 20:30SPEAKER_02: Like their guide knew that they were not in, like, well, not even engaged, they weren't married.
- 20:35SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, they said all week they basically just got followed around by people singing and bringing them cake.
- 20:41SPEAKER_04: Sorry, uh, what I'm gonna say to you is at what point is that just ruining your fucking holiday?
- 20:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, fuck's sake, they're singing again.
- 20:48SPEAKER_04: People have been arrested for less.
- 20:50SPEAKER_04: Don't fucking follow me around singing with cake, you cunts.
- 20:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like that would really annoy me.
- 20:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's a message to the wise.
- 20:56SPEAKER_02: Oh, fuck.
- 20:57SPEAKER_02: Don't book a honeymoon.
- 20:57SPEAKER_02: Here we go again.
- 20:58SPEAKER_02: Do not book a honeymoon package unless you're actually on your honeymoon.
- 21:02SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: What song were they singing?
- 21:04SPEAKER_02: Oh, I don't know.
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: Like, it's not like a happy birthday, is it?
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: Like it's a wedding.
- 21:08SPEAKER_04: No, but it's supposed to be a honeymoon.
- 21:10SPEAKER_02: Lots of chanting and clapping, and it all looked really jolly.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: I will say though, top tip is um if you're going on a on a trip and people always put, is it a special occasion?
- 21:20SPEAKER_02: Like, if it is, put it put it down.
- 21:22SPEAKER_02: But if it's not, put it down.
- 21:24SPEAKER_02: It's like your anniversary or something.
- 21:26SPEAKER_02: Um I've had a few free bottles of champagne that way very recently.
- 21:29SPEAKER_02: So I recommend it.
- 21:31SPEAKER_02: Fair.
- 21:32SPEAKER_02: Little lifestyle tip there.
- 21:34SPEAKER_04: Anyway, yeah, I thought you might enjoy that.
- 21:37SPEAKER_04: Um what I want to discuss next is a poll that I didn't edit.
- 21:46SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 21:47SPEAKER_04: Do you know which poll this is?
- 21:49unknown: No.
- 21:50SPEAKER_04: Who would win in a fight?
- 21:51SPEAKER_02: Oh yes! I was just trying to rack my brain because what polls has she put out?
- 21:56SPEAKER_04: I can't remember them.
- 21:58SPEAKER_04: Right, before I fucking go.
- 22:00SPEAKER_04: Into this, who do you think would win in a fight between you and I?
- 22:05SPEAKER_02: I voted you.
- 22:07SPEAKER_04: Rich.
- 22:08SPEAKER_01: Oh, don't do this to me.
- 22:10SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 22:11SPEAKER_01: You're both a bit scrappy.
- 22:13SPEAKER_02: Scrappy double bitch.
- 22:14SPEAKER_04: She hates confrontation as well.
- 22:16SPEAKER_02: That's probably the worst thing to ask her.
- 22:18SPEAKER_02: But I could rugby tackle a bitch if I wanted to.
- 22:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: Good job, I'm not a bitch, isn't it, really?
- 22:24SPEAKER_02: What rugby tackle you?
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: Depends what it was about, but in general.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 22:30SPEAKER_02: You're taller than me.
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: You're tall, but she's weak as shit.
- 22:33SPEAKER_02: You're tall, but you're slight, whereas I'm short and dumpy.
- 22:37SPEAKER_02: Do you want to go toe-to-toe with me?
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: Because many have many have failed.
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: I remember the arm wrestle.
- 22:42SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't want to fight you.
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: Verbally or physically.
- 22:44SPEAKER_04: I don't even have to get violent.
- 22:46SPEAKER_04: Most of the time, I can just disarm people with my own.
- 22:48SPEAKER_01: You win with your words.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: You do win with your words.
- 22:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I do.
- 22:52SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:53SPEAKER_02: Who do you think?
- 22:55SPEAKER_04: I'm back in myself.
- 22:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:57SPEAKER_02: Valid, yeah.
- 22:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'm back in myself.
- 22:59SPEAKER_02: I understand.
- 23:00SPEAKER_02: I'm not a confrontational girl.
- 23:03SPEAKER_04: 76% said me.
- 23:08SPEAKER_00: Is this with or without alcohol?
- 23:10SPEAKER_04: One thing I will say is one of my friends voted for you just to piss me off.
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: Oh, well, no, I'll take your pity vote.
- 23:18SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's a vote at the end of the day.
- 23:20SPEAKER_04: Oh, it really, it really like disarmed people.
- 23:23SPEAKER_04: They were like, holy shit, I have to think about this, but yeah.
- 23:25SPEAKER_02: Oh, I did it took me about a split second.
- 23:27SPEAKER_02: I was like, I don't, there's no thought being put into this.
- 23:30SPEAKER_02: I'd have you in my corner if I needed to.
- 23:32SPEAKER_02: 100%.
- 23:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 23:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 23:34SPEAKER_02: Did anyone else obviously I messaged you?
- 23:36SPEAKER_02: I can't remember what I messaged you, but um, did anyone else send any did they just react to the poll or did they send any?
- 23:43SPEAKER_04: Carrie went, oh, sorry, Charlie.
- 23:45SPEAKER_02: Ah, that's okay.
- 23:47SPEAKER_02: I'm on that, I'm on that team as well.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: Little Miss Hates confrontation probably would not do well in a fight.
- 23:53SPEAKER_02: I just thought it'd be quite interesting to see the divide.
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: I also couldn't take a punch, so you know.
- 23:58SPEAKER_02: Probably just cry.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: You just cry, yeah.
- 24:02SPEAKER_02: I cry and bruise.
- 24:03SPEAKER_02: I bruise like a peach.
- 24:04SPEAKER_04: Jesus night.
- 24:06SPEAKER_04: Oh.
- 24:06SPEAKER_04: So this is an anonymous lady.
- 24:11SPEAKER_04: So this is a horror date night.
- 24:13SPEAKER_04: I would like to caveat this with the fact that since this date, my taste in men has improved tenfold.
- 24:20SPEAKER_04: Thank God.
- 24:20SPEAKER_04: I now have a dreamy six foot five trade boyfriend who is lush.
- 24:25SPEAKER_04: I hope you're not five foot four, otherwise I'm coming for you.
- 24:28SPEAKER_04: Stop dating the tall ones.
- 24:30SPEAKER_04: Um matched with a guy on Hinge a few years ago who was a little older.
- 24:35SPEAKER_04: I was 21, he was 31.
- 24:38SPEAKER_04: Just gonna say it creepy, but anyway.
- 24:40SPEAKER_04: Thinking that he would be the mature man I needed.
- 24:44SPEAKER_04: First red flag, he clearly matched with a girl from Bristol, and the minute I opened my mouth, seemed disgusted at my Bristolian accent.
- 24:54SPEAKER_04: Which I don't think is even that strong.
- 24:56SPEAKER_04: He was from Birmingham.
- 24:58SPEAKER_04: People in glass houses and all that.
- 25:00SPEAKER_04: She put in brackets.
- 25:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I take Bristolian over a Brummy.
- 25:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:07SPEAKER_04: He then continued to not ask me a single thing about myself and not let me get a word in edgeways the whole evening.
- 25:15SPEAKER_04: Around 30 minutes in, he voluntarily took me through a day-by-day walkthrough of the death of his father.
- 25:21SPEAKER_04: Oh fuck.
- 25:22SPEAKER_04: Which brought him to tears.
- 25:24SPEAKER_04: We were in a quiet, cozy pub, and he was being very loud and wailing about how he feels he could have been a better son.
- 25:31SPEAKER_04: Very sad, of course, but way too soon to trauma dump.
- 25:35SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 25:37SPEAKER_04: In my naivety, I still let him kiss me at the end of the night.
- 25:41SPEAKER_04: Not gonna lie, he was quite fit.
- 25:43SPEAKER_02: Oh god, no man is that fit.
- 25:45SPEAKER_04: As we snogged, his hands ran down from my back across to my stomach.
- 25:52SPEAKER_04: He then pulled away, pinched my belly, and said, and I quote, don't worry, I don't care about all this.
- 25:59SPEAKER_04: Got in his car and drove away.
- 26:02SPEAKER_04: He must have thought it went really well, as he was quite shocked and aggressive when I continued to ignore his messages asking for a second date.
- 26:09SPEAKER_04: But seriously, where did these men come from?
- 26:11SPEAKER_04: Yuck, yuck, yuck.
- 26:12SPEAKER_04: No advice needed really.
- 26:14SPEAKER_04: Just thought this may shed some light on how dating can be when we're really in the trenches.
- 26:18SPEAKER_04: Love the pod, ladies keep saying.
- 26:21SPEAKER_02: Love that ending, but the audacity of men.
- 26:24SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 26:26SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 26:27SPEAKER_04: It's madness, isn't it?
- 26:29SPEAKER_04: Rich, would you ever do that to a woman?
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: No.
- 26:32SPEAKER_02: He's a nice one, any gone, Rich.
- 26:34SPEAKER_02: You're a nice guy.
- 26:35SPEAKER_04: But I also think, right, it's difficult, isn't it, when you're uh online dating because you don't really see people like fully.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: Oh no, no, no, completely different.
- 26:45SPEAKER_04: But I think I mean we've touched on types before, haven't we?
- 26:49SPEAKER_04: But I I think it's one of those things most people do like certain people a certain way, like whether they've got brown hair, blonde hair, like slightly slimmer, slightly bigger, athletic build.
- 26:59SPEAKER_04: Some people are like into bums, boobs, legs, whatever.
- 27:03SPEAKER_04: So I just think why would you just go out with the people you want to go out with?
- 27:08SPEAKER_04: I mean, that sounds so easy, doesn't it?
- 27:10SPEAKER_04: But don't then turn around to someone and go, oh, don't worry, I don't worry about all of that.
- 27:15SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think he's just been a dick.
- 27:17SPEAKER_01: He was a dick.
- 27:18SPEAKER_01: I think there's no other way around it.
- 27:19SPEAKER_04: That's a way to humble someone and make them like it's a soup he wants to be superior.
- 27:25SPEAKER_04: So he's like humbled her to make himself feel above her.
- 27:29SPEAKER_04: And then because he hasn't got what he wanted, he's gone, ooh, fuck off, like get aggressive.
- 27:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I do think like the whole body image thing.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: We've grown up, like you spoke about before, we've grown up with like you know, your typical poster girls, and it's like flat abs, big boobs, and bum.
- 27:47SPEAKER_02: Well, also Kate Moss.
- 27:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
- 27:50SPEAKER_02: So you've got yeah, pal and Addison to Kate Moss, right?
- 27:53SPEAKER_02: So and and I think it's this whole thing about like, oh, you have to be skinny in order to be deemed as like beautiful.
- 28:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: What I would say is like everybody's body is beautiful, everyone has their own personal hangups as well.
- 28:06SPEAKER_02: So you might look at someone and go, oh my god, I think they're absolutely gorgeous, but then someone else internally is going, Oh, I hate this about myself.
- 28:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: If your body is healthy and it's functioning, like love your body, embrace your body.
- 28:17SPEAKER_02: Don't let some awful man, oh god, that really enrages me.
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: But don't let someone else make you feel shit about yourself, and but also the audacity of men to comment on a woman's body like that, like you'd never do that to well, I mean, I certainly wouldn't, I'd never do that to any other person, but I certainly wouldn't, you know, I'm not gonna do it to a bloke and be like, oh, you're a bit you're a bit short, or oh that bold patch you've got, oh you're a bit fat.
- 28:43SPEAKER_04: Even if I did go on a date with someone and it turned out that they weren't sort of what I was attracted to, just say you don't want to go out again.
- 28:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it's been really nice meeting you.
- 28:55SPEAKER_02: I'm glad we've explored this, but I think it's probably not the right vibe.
- 28:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, mic drop goodbye.
- 29:00SPEAKER_02: That's all any thoughts from you?
- 29:03SPEAKER_01: No, I think you're right, it's it's the meeting bit, that's the bit, and it's the apps because it's that awkwardness of them you just don't know.
- 29:11SPEAKER_01: And the if you meet in person, that's all eliminated.
- 29:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you don't you hear their voice, you hear their accent, you know if you're gonna get one on a date.
- 29:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think yeah, in a perfect world you'd meet everyone naturally, but you can but it is hard.
- 29:23SPEAKER_02: It doesn't, yeah, it doesn't happen.
- 29:25SPEAKER_02: Everyone's got life commitments and whatnot, but yeah, I knew you'd hate that one.
- 29:29SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, yeah, why a yada.
- 29:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know I don't, I yeah, I don't enjoy that.
- 29:35SPEAKER_04: Also, coming for her Bristolian accent, he can get fucked.
- 29:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 29:38SPEAKER_02: Oh, you like the Bristolian accent actually?
- 29:41SPEAKER_02: Oh, you much prefer it to a Brummy.
- 29:43SPEAKER_02: Oh, Brummy.
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no thanks.
- 29:45SPEAKER_02: Do you want some Snogbury Boys?
- 29:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah, goofy.
- 29:47SPEAKER_02: Okay, right.
- 29:48SPEAKER_02: So coming up this week.
- 29:50SPEAKER_04: Tonight, Matthew, I'm gonna be.
- 29:52SPEAKER_04: I used to love Stars and the Rise.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: Side note, who would you be on Stars in the Rise?
- 29:55SPEAKER_02: Cher.
- 29:56SPEAKER_02: I say this every time.
- 29:57SPEAKER_02: Would you?
- 29:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what a woman.
- 29:58SPEAKER_02: That's a great choice.
- 29:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, I like it.
- 30:00SPEAKER_04: It's a gay icon as well.
- 30:01SPEAKER_04: I mean, just I just want to be a what song you choosing.
- 30:05SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
- 30:06SPEAKER_04: Believe.

- 38:03SPEAKER_02: Very rarely, towards the end of the day, I'm normally full from dinner that I wouldn't eat in bed.
- 38:10SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 38:10SPEAKER_02: And also when I get into bed, I like to brush my teeth already, put my retainers in, yeah.

- 39:01SPEAKER_04: Put my boudoir slippers on.
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: If I was eating the Mackeys, I'm just I think too practically, based on where I live, I've eaten the Mackeys on the way home.
- 39:08SPEAKER_02: Because it's 20 minutes home from Mackeys.
- 39:10SPEAKER_04: Basically, the only time she's eating in bed is if you bring her scrambled eggs, salmon, caviar, champagne, and she's in a like perfect robe and she's got rollers in.
- 39:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:19SPEAKER_04: Fucking hell.

- 40:48SPEAKER_04: Are we talking adultery or are we talking drugs?
- 40:53SPEAKER_02: I mean anything and everything.
- 40:55SPEAKER_02: So some stole on a bus.
- 40:58SPEAKER_04: Like anything that I'm just talking, you know.
- 41:00SPEAKER_02: Anything, anything that springs to mind.
- 41:02SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 41:02SPEAKER_02: So we've had well, some inspiration for people.
- 41:06SPEAKER_02: So get submitting.
- 41:07SPEAKER_02: If you want to do it anonymously, then I understand because actually you might not want people to see in the comments on a Facebook uh Instagram post, sorry, um, what you've been up to.
- 41:15SPEAKER_02: But a few that I've taken from the Instagram.
- 41:18SPEAKER_02: So a girl said, and a lot of these uh Americans, she texted a family group chat saying I would suck him dry after sending a picture of an NFL player thinking that it was her kickball team.
- 41:30SPEAKER_02: It was in fact her family chat.
- 41:31SPEAKER_02: Her grandparents were in there, and this was way before you could delete messages.
- 41:36unknown: Wow.
- 41:36SPEAKER_02: Imagine your grandma seeing you say I would suck him dry.
- 41:40SPEAKER_04: Do you remember?
- 41:41SPEAKER_04: I think it was Joanne McNally.
- 41:43SPEAKER_04: I can't remember.
- 41:44SPEAKER_04: It was just I think we were talking about actually, I don't know who we were talking about, but it went viral, and it was like nothing would stop that even a guillotine wouldn't stop the head I'd give that man.
- 41:58SPEAKER_02: It's like that equivalent.
- 41:59SPEAKER_02: Fuck.
- 42:01SPEAKER_02: Imagine sending that in like a family chat and your grandmother seeing it.
- 42:05SPEAKER_01: Someone would have to explain it to them as well.
- 42:07SPEAKER_01: That would be worse.
- 42:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:09SPEAKER_02: Imagine doing that drunk and then the anxiety.
- 42:11SPEAKER_04: You can't even go, fuck.
- 42:12SPEAKER_04: I meant fuck.
- 42:14SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, trying to play on words here because there's no house, no way out.
- 42:18SPEAKER_02: No.
- 42:18SPEAKER_02: So someone's done that drunk.
- 42:20SPEAKER_02: Jesus.
- 42:21SPEAKER_02: Uh, someone also said that they texted a nude to their ex-boyfriend's dad because they thought that they would shoot their shot.
- 42:28SPEAKER_01: Wow, well, you know.
- 42:30SPEAKER_04: What was the response?
- 42:31SPEAKER_04: I need I need the response.
- 42:34SPEAKER_04: Ass punch you.
- 42:35SPEAKER_04: What would you do if I sent one to Papa Clem?
- 42:37SPEAKER_04: That would be a nightmare.
- 42:40SPEAKER_02: Fuck's sake.
- 42:42SPEAKER_02: He's on holiday at the moment.
- 42:44SPEAKER_02: He's in New Orleans.
- 42:45SPEAKER_04: Oh, so he's primed and ready.
- 42:48SPEAKER_02: As he keeps saying, he's going down to Flowrider after that.
- 42:52SPEAKER_02: I know he loves it.
- 42:53SPEAKER_04: Bless him.
- 42:53SPEAKER_04: Um, so is this what you give me hey?
- 42:55SPEAKER_04: You've given me a hair.
- 42:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 42:56SPEAKER_04: Read them out, read them out.
- 42:57SPEAKER_04: I got so drunk at a wedding that I disappeared for two hours.
- 43:01SPEAKER_04: Everyone was looking for me.
- 43:03SPEAKER_04: They finally found me at another wedding happening downstairs in their photo booth, wearing the bride's veil, holding someone's baby, and telling people I was the groom's cousin from Canada.
- 43:15SPEAKER_04: I'm not Canadian.
- 43:16SPEAKER_04: I didn't know the groom.
- 43:18SPEAKER_04: Apparently, I was in half of their wedding photos, and I became part of the family that is part of a cousin Christmas now.
- 43:25SPEAKER_02: I like that.
- 43:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 43:27SPEAKER_04: Why not?
- 43:28SPEAKER_02: Way to fully immerse yourself.
- 43:30SPEAKER_02: Um, I saw one that said, it was not you, it was Patricia.
- 43:34SPEAKER_02: I enjoyed that.
- 43:36SPEAKER_02: Are you sure that wasn't me that wrote that?
- 43:38SPEAKER_02: No.
- 43:38SPEAKER_02: Wow, I know.
- 43:39SPEAKER_02: You've literally referenced it last year.
- 43:40SPEAKER_02: I do reference it a lot.
- 43:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 43:43SPEAKER_02: Go on, Patricia.
- 43:44SPEAKER_04: I definitely have an alter ego.
- 43:46SPEAKER_04: Woke up in a bush in a huge club parking lot and saw about 250 cops with flashlights looking for someone.
- 43:53SPEAKER_04: The fire.
- 43:56SPEAKER_04: The fire department was there, and so were seven ambulances.
- 44:00SPEAKER_04: A helicopter with lights.
- 44:01SPEAKER_04: This was a huge parking lot, and I was so worried that I had that someone had gotten killed.
- 44:06SPEAKER_04: So I went to find my friends who were hysterically crying.
- 44:10SPEAKER_04: Turns out I'd been missing for seven hours, and it was me they were looking for.
- 44:17SPEAKER_04: It's funny because I don't know if you guys have a friend like this.
- 44:20SPEAKER_04: Like I have one particular friend, and I said to her on the weekend, she is the runner like of the group.
- 44:26SPEAKER_04: So like if we all get drunk, she's the runner of the group.
- 44:30SPEAKER_02: And when we keep a tag on her all, just put an air tag in her back pocket next time.
- 44:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but she's just a menace.
- 44:36SPEAKER_04: And like, even when we took her to get cheesy chips and beans, I think it was like Saturday night, we were in a kebab shop.
- 44:41SPEAKER_04: Kebab man?
- 44:42SPEAKER_04: No, no, no.
- 44:43SPEAKER_04: We went into Cheltenham because we were like dotted about elsewhere.
- 44:48SPEAKER_04: And we were all just waiting for her to get food.
- 44:51SPEAKER_04: And she literally looked at this guy and she was like, Where are you from?
- 44:55SPEAKER_04: And I was like, Oh god, this is where we go.
- 44:58SPEAKER_04: She's like, Christ.
- 45:00SPEAKER_04: I was like, How's this going to end?
- 45:02SPEAKER_04: Don't don't do that.
- 45:03SPEAKER_04: Are you American?
- 45:04SPEAKER_04: No, I'm not.
- 45:04SPEAKER_04: I bet you can't guess where I'm from.
- 45:06SPEAKER_04: Oh, well, I'll guess where you're from.
- 45:07SPEAKER_04: I'm like, oh God's safe.
- 45:08SPEAKER_04: Like, fucking back off, back off.
- 45:10SPEAKER_04: And I think it was maybe the second guess that she said, and he was from Bermuda.
- 45:14SPEAKER_06: Oh, no way.
- 45:15SPEAKER_04: But she'll talk for everyone.
- 45:16SPEAKER_04: Like, even when our Ubers were picking us up, she was like, Oh, Mohammed, look at me, I'm here.
- 45:20SPEAKER_04: And she was like, Mohammed, where are you from?
- 45:22SPEAKER_04: And he was like, Syria.
- 45:23SPEAKER_04: And she's like, oh.
- 45:23SPEAKER_04: And I was like, oh gosh.
- 45:27SPEAKER_04: You know, and then like she'll just run off.
- 45:29SPEAKER_04: And we'll be like, right, bye then.
- 45:30SPEAKER_04: Bye, Soph.
- 45:31SPEAKER_04: And then he was like, she'll come back to you eventually.
- 45:33SPEAKER_04: She's like a boomerang.
- 45:35SPEAKER_04: But she's the runner of the group and she'll just go and talk to anyone.
- 45:40SPEAKER_04: You could take second place with that.
- 45:41SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, but I'll always come back.
- 45:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 45:43SPEAKER_04: Normally after having some sort of argument.
- 45:48SPEAKER_04: And that's why we'd all choose you in a fight.
- 45:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 45:51SPEAKER_04: Or I would have put a temporary tattoo on my ass or done something pss stupid.
- 45:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 45:58SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
- 45:58SPEAKER_01: Or two.
- 46:00SPEAKER_04: Or two.
- 46:01SPEAKER_04: Or five.
- 46:02SPEAKER_01: One on each cheek.
- 46:04SPEAKER_02: Anyway, my lady.
- 46:06SPEAKER_02: Going a bit more serious, I think should we discuss the whole Cornell University saga?
- 46:15SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 46:15SPEAKER_02: I think it would be wrong if we didn't.
- 46:17SPEAKER_04: So did you see that the creator of South Park has put together a website?
- 46:26SPEAKER_04: It is going to be a permanent website called the Cornell 7.
- 46:28SPEAKER_04: And he is, he's like, it's a slow process.
- 46:30SPEAKER_04: I'm taking my time.
- 46:31SPEAKER_04: If you go on it, read it, it's got all of the boys' information.
- 46:34SPEAKER_04: He is cross-referencing evidence, information, everything.
- 46:37SPEAKER_04: It's taking so much time, but he wants to get a full profile on each individual person.
- 46:42SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 46:42SPEAKER_04: And it's going to be there permanently.
- 46:45SPEAKER_02: And there's no way that the Cornell 7, they can't sue, take it down.
- 46:50SPEAKER_02: I guess if he's created South Park, he's got a fuck ton of money, right?
- 46:52SPEAKER_02: So you'd be like, so, you know, at the point.
- 46:55SPEAKER_04: It's only slander if it's oh, I don't know.
- 46:59SPEAKER_04: Is it slander or defamation of character?
- 47:02SPEAKER_02: Probably both.
- 47:03SPEAKER_02: But is it slander if it's accurate?
- 47:05SPEAKER_02: That's the thing I would say.
- 47:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you're not just going around telling.
- 47:08SPEAKER_04: They've defamed their own names, so But you know they've released her name.
- 47:12SPEAKER_04: Have they?
- 47:14SPEAKER_04: So they said that.
- 47:16SPEAKER_04: So did she want to remain anonymous?
- 47:18SPEAKER_04: I guarantee, and I'm sorry this is a hill hard on, I guarantee it was men that pushed for her name to be released.
- 47:22SPEAKER_04: Sorry, Rich, but I do because so every woman on social media has gone, I'm Jane Doe, I'm Jane Doe, to cover up and confuse matters.
- 47:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:30SPEAKER_04: So that people can't guess who it is, but someone's released her name.
- 47:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 47:34SPEAKER_02: That's all because I've seen a lot of women have come forward and have said, like, I'm Jane Doe, and they tell their story of what happened to them.
- 47:41SPEAKER_02: And a lot of them have spoken about.
- 47:42SPEAKER_02: I saw one story the other day, how this girl basically came forward immediately and said, This has happened to me, reported it.
- 47:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:48SPEAKER_02: It was pretty much swept under the rug, it wasn't really picked up.
- 47:51SPEAKER_02: And then, like, six months later, she took matters into her own hand, hands, hired her own private attorney.
- 47:57SPEAKER_02: Um, and then basically the guy who raped her went absolutely mental her and was like, Oh my god, I can't believe you're doing this after all this time, blah, blah, blah.
- 48:05SPEAKER_02: And she was like, Well, nothing, nothing was done with it, so I've taken matters into my own hands.
- 48:09SPEAKER_02: But it is really alarming how I mean it even goes back to the girl we spoke about who was investigating um people like sexually abusing people and touching people on the tubes in London.
- 48:21SPEAKER_02: Um, it's really alarming how much stuff goes under the radar, isn't dealt with really seriously, and like who do you speak to?
- 48:29SPEAKER_02: It's not like it's not a 999 call, but who like where do you go?
- 48:34SPEAKER_02: You look at the storyline for off campus.
- 48:37SPEAKER_04: I mean, yeah.
- 48:39SPEAKER_04: Like he got to carry on, didn't he?
- 48:43SPEAKER_04: Um, but I think I don't know, it's it's a really tricky one.
- 48:48SPEAKER_04: My question to the girls this weekend was Um, any men in your life, and like your male friends or whatever, would if they were in that group chat, would they have spoken up?
- 49:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 49:03SPEAKER_04: Because I think if your immediate reaction is or no, it it changes the way I think about people.
- 49:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:09SPEAKER_04: And then they're out of my life.
- 49:10SPEAKER_04: Which because it sounds, it sounds really trivial, right?
- 49:13SPEAKER_04: But it shows me enough about you as a character.
- 49:15SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 49:15SPEAKER_04: Like I know the people the men in my life, the men we know, even down to you, Rich, like people that we just work with, people that we'll like, whatever.
- 49:24SPEAKER_04: I know they would.
- 49:25SPEAKER_04: I know you would.
- 49:26SPEAKER_04: If you were in that group chat, you'd be like, what the fuck, wouldn't you?
- 49:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 49:29SPEAKER_04: If someone's a free pussy upstairs, you'd be like, sorry.
- 49:31SPEAKER_01: Same with all my mates.
- 49:32unknown: Yeah.
- 49:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:33SPEAKER_01: All of them.
- 49:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:34SPEAKER_02: And actually, like I said, that's a really good way to assess the people in your life.
- 49:39SPEAKER_02: Do you want to be associated with them?
- 49:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:41SPEAKER_02: There was, um, I did read somewhere because obviously there was, what was there, 57 people in this group chat?
- 49:46SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 49:46SPEAKER_02: And one.
- 49:47SPEAKER_02: One guy didn't he didn't have his phone on.
- 49:49SPEAKER_02: He you could they could see that he didn't see the message until the next day, and at that point he reported it.
- 49:53SPEAKER_04: Didn't he send her the screenshots?
- 49:55SPEAKER_02: Yes, I think so.
- 49:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:57SPEAKER_02: But it's just it's horrible.
- 49:58SPEAKER_02: One out of 57, one.
- 50:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and you know what their get-around is as well.
- 50:02SPEAKER_02: No.
- 50:02SPEAKER_02: Is they're trying to say that because they were all doing ket together, yeah, and she consented to one guy, that that's then deemed as okay.
- 50:09SPEAKER_02: It's like, well, she didn't consent to the rest of you.
- 50:11SPEAKER_02: And I watched this, and I think everybody needs But they pressured her to do the drugs anyway.
- 50:17SPEAKER_02: But I think everyone needs to be, whether you if you're a mother, an auntie, you have a teacher, you have any influence on young men in particular, but any any person, but in particular young men, be teaching people what consent means.
- 50:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:31SPEAKER_02: And I watched this really interesting video.
- 50:33SPEAKER_02: This dad shared this video, and he's got his nine and eleven-year-old sat next to him, and they just sat on their little porch, and he's like, Boys, what's consent?
- 50:39SPEAKER_02: And they both reel off exactly what it is.
- 50:41SPEAKER_02: And he's like, Okay, I'm gonna give you some scenarios here, and I want you to tell me whether or not it's consent.
- 50:45SPEAKER_02: If you ask a girl if you can hug her and she says no, what does that mean?
- 50:48SPEAKER_02: They're like, No means no.
- 50:50SPEAKER_02: And then he goes, Okay, if you ask a girl once and they say no, but you then keep on asking, and on the 15th time of asking, she says yes, is that consent?
- 51:00SPEAKER_02: No, no, because you've pressured her.
- 51:03SPEAKER_02: If a nine and an 11-year-old can understand what consent is, why on earth do people walking around as fully fledged adults in society not understand what consent is?
- 51:12SPEAKER_02: No, I know.
- 51:14SPEAKER_02: It's horrifying.
- 51:15SPEAKER_02: When I read it, I was you know, I'm an empath anyway, things hit me hard, but I was just like, I feel sick by all of this.
- 51:22SPEAKER_02: So I just think if there's anybody out there listening to this who's been like impacted or it's triggered them, please speak up.
- 51:31SPEAKER_02: Feel as though you can have a voice.
- 51:33SPEAKER_02: I I don't know where you can go, but speak to someone that you trust and like don't be afraid of what the repercussions are gonna be of that person, what they've done is wrong, and they need to have a common place for it.
- 51:45SPEAKER_02: And I think all of these, you know, these guys who have had to write an essay, like really, you've sexually abused someone and raped them, and you you're making them write an essay about it.
- 51:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like it's it's horrifying.
- 51:59SPEAKER_04: I know, and I the alternative is, and I I firmly believe this, people you swapped it around, right?
- 52:05SPEAKER_04: So, and I've been in this situation where I've dealt with drunk people on a night out.
- 52:09SPEAKER_04: If there was a bloke passed out with my group of friends, you, whoever, like any of them, we would go, are you okay?
- 52:19SPEAKER_04: Do you need help?
- 52:19SPEAKER_04: Do we need shall we charge your phone?
- 52:21SPEAKER_04: Where can we get you to?
- 52:23SPEAKER_04: Can we feed you?
- 52:24SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 52:25SPEAKER_04: If someone texts me saying free dick upstairs, I'd be like, Why is there a man in my house?
- 52:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 52:31SPEAKER_04: Literally.
- 52:32SPEAKER_04: I'm like, no.
- 52:34SPEAKER_04: I'd be like, what are you fucking talking about?
- 52:36SPEAKER_04: And it like it just wouldn't, but it all but girls wouldn't do it.
- 52:39SPEAKER_02: No, it just wouldn't cross your mind.
- 52:40SPEAKER_04: Sorry, and I know everyone's gonna be like, what do you mean girls would they actually wouldn't know?
- 52:45SPEAKER_04: No, of course not.
- 52:46SPEAKER_04: I don't know a single woman, and I've met many women in my life that would go, Oh yeah, go on then.
- 52:51SPEAKER_04: No, exactly.
- 52:53SPEAKER_04: Don't know about anyone else, but I like people to be like alive and kicking and want to have sleep and want to have sex with me.
- 52:57SPEAKER_02: Takes two to tango, right?
- 52:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 52:59SPEAKER_02: But no, I just the whole thing was quite horrifying, and I'm just yeah, really sad for her that that happened to her, but also if she can come out of it and I don't know what the right phrase is, but she's a fucking tough cookie, right?
- 53:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but it's again, it's really complex trauma, like that'll be with her for a long time.
- 53:25SPEAKER_04: It's a lot of unpacking.
- 53:26SPEAKER_04: And one thing I will say, and I again it's a hill I'll die on.
- 53:31SPEAKER_04: It's all of you till it's none of you.
- 53:34SPEAKER_04: Because the best one in the world, I know Rich, you're sat there, you're glorious, you're kind to everyone, but we don't know that when we don't know you.
- 53:41SPEAKER_04: Do you know what I mean?
- 53:42SPEAKER_04: And even like I've had male friends in the past where you know they're lovely, but they make certain jokes and things like that.
- 53:50SPEAKER_04: Like it is it is all of you until it's none of you.
- 53:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, 100%.
- 53:54SPEAKER_02: And you know what?
- 53:55SPEAKER_02: Someone used this analogy uh at work, this is a few years ago.
- 53:59SPEAKER_02: So if you had a box of Maltesers, yeah, and you knew that one Malteser was rolled in dog shit rather than in chocolate, are you gonna trust that box of Maltesers?
- 54:10SPEAKER_02: No, of course you're not.
- 54:11SPEAKER_02: You're gonna be there going, ah, are you covered in dog shit or are you chocolate?
- 54:14SPEAKER_02: Ah, are you covered in dog shit or are you chocolate?
- 54:17SPEAKER_01: You may have just ruined Maltesers a lot.
- 54:20SPEAKER_04: He's got Maltesers in there as well.
- 54:22SPEAKER_02: Enjoy your Maltesers.
- 54:23SPEAKER_04: But it's it's also I think it was Alice will like this one, my little shark bait ooh haha.
- 54:27SPEAKER_04: Not all sharks bite, but you're still wary.
- 54:30SPEAKER_04: It's another good way of looking at it.
- 54:33SPEAKER_04: Um, and one thing I will repeat is if a bloke was found unconscious or after he would be taken care of in the best way.
- 54:43SPEAKER_04: Not at no point would a girl go drop his trowel.
- 54:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
- 54:48SPEAKER_02: But also, if a guy came forward and said, Oh my god, this has happened to me, people are not gonna go.
- 54:54SPEAKER_02: I like I saw a video about oh oh um using it as stealing your car analogy, my car got stolen.
- 54:59SPEAKER_02: Or did you leave it unlocked?
- 55:01SPEAKER_02: Did you ask for it to be stolen?
- 55:02SPEAKER_02: Are you sure that it could be?
- 55:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, why do you think your car got stolen?
- 55:07SPEAKER_02: And it's like, come on.
- 55:09SPEAKER_02: And I know this is maybe we see it more.
- 55:12SPEAKER_02: Obviously, America is so much bigger than here, so maybe I think we probably hear about more stories there.
- 55:16SPEAKER_02: It doesn't mean that it doesn't go on, it doesn't go on here.
- 55:19SPEAKER_02: But I yeah, I just ask anyone if you have any influence on any men in your life, just please let it be to understand what consent is and to respect women.
- 55:32SPEAKER_02: Here ends out her talk.
- 55:34SPEAKER_04: Ta-da! Would you like to go on to something positive?
- 55:37SPEAKER_04: Would you like to do this?
- 55:38SPEAKER_04: Would you rather you've got hair, not this or that today?
- 55:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:40SPEAKER_02: Do you want to kick off?
- 55:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I kick you off.
- 55:43SPEAKER_04: Don't fight me.
- 55:44SPEAKER_04: The sofa.
- 55:46SPEAKER_04: Would you rather go on holiday with your partner's family or have your family go on holiday with your partner?
- 55:55SPEAKER_02: I'd actually do either.
- 55:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:58SPEAKER_02: Can I merge them all together?
- 55:59SPEAKER_02: No.
- 56:00SPEAKER_02: Is that an option?
- 56:01SPEAKER_02: No.
- 56:01SPEAKER_02: But if you are if I have to choose, I'll go on holiday with his family because his mum DJs and they go to Ibieta.
- 56:06SPEAKER_02: She's a partner.
- 56:07SPEAKER_04: Papa Clem, if you're listening.
- 56:08SPEAKER_04: No, don't.
- 56:09SPEAKER_04: I apologize on behalf of your daughter.
- 56:11SPEAKER_04: She's a witch.
- 56:12SPEAKER_04: I'll have either.
- 56:14SPEAKER_04: Would you rather have your partner be way funnier than you or way more attractive than you?
- 56:24SPEAKER_05: That's impossible, though, isn't it?
- 56:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 56:28SPEAKER_02: I don't funnier.
- 56:30SPEAKER_02: I don't know how I feel about that, but also way more attractive.
- 56:34SPEAKER_02: I don't want to look like I'm reaching.
- 56:35SPEAKER_02: I want us to be on a balanced level together.
- 56:37SPEAKER_02: How do you know you already are?
- 56:41SPEAKER_02: You dick.
- 56:42SPEAKER_01: You are really funny.
- 56:44unknown: Thank you.
- 56:47SPEAKER_04: Come on.
- 56:48SPEAKER_04: What'd you say?
- 56:48SPEAKER_04: Funny?
- 56:50SPEAKER_04: I'll go funny.
- 56:51SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 56:52SPEAKER_03: Would you rather always know when someone's talking about you or always know what they're saying?
- 57:01SPEAKER_05: Read that one again.
- 57:03SPEAKER_04: Would you rather know someone when someone is talking about you or always know what they're saying?
- 57:07SPEAKER_02: Oh, I'd rather know they're talking about me.
- 57:08SPEAKER_02: I don't give a fuck what you're actually saying.
- 57:10SPEAKER_02: I don't care.
- 57:11SPEAKER_02: Talk about me or you like.
- 57:13SPEAKER_04: Would you rather live your life with a soundtrack only you can hear or with subtitles everyone can see?
- 57:19SPEAKER_02: A soundtrack only I can hear.
- 57:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, okay.
- 57:21SPEAKER_02: I feel like there's always something going on in my little brain.
- 57:23SPEAKER_04: Tinnitus, I hear you.
- 57:25unknown: What?
- 57:25SPEAKER_04: Would you rather have to end every sentence with allegedly or start every sentence with breaking news?
- 57:31SPEAKER_04: I know which I'd pick.
- 57:33SPEAKER_02: Breaking news, I need to go for a week.
- 57:35SPEAKER_04: Tonight, Matthew.
- 57:37SPEAKER_02: Breaking news.
- 57:38SPEAKER_02: I'm going to get a pint.
- 57:41SPEAKER_04: Would you rather your walk-up song play every time you enter a room or have a dramatic narrator describe what you're about to do?
- 57:52SPEAKER_04: Oh.
- 57:52SPEAKER_04: I fucking love a dramatic narrator.
- 57:54SPEAKER_04: I could do it for you.
- 57:56SPEAKER_02: But I quite like a walk-up song every time you enter a room is quite fun because some people don't know you're coming.
- 58:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I could do my Alexa voice.
- 58:03SPEAKER_04: Couldn't I?
- 58:05SPEAKER_04: Continuing, Charlie got pissed on.
- 58:10unknown: No.
- 58:11SPEAKER_02: Um I'll take I'll take walk-up music.
- 58:14SPEAKER_04: What is your walk-up song again?
- 58:15SPEAKER_04: I've forgotten.
- 58:15SPEAKER_02: All I do is win, win, or what?
- 58:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 58:18SPEAKER_04: Would you rather eat a raw egg every morning or drink a glass of pickle juice every night?
- 58:25SPEAKER_04: Aren't you anti-pickles?
- 58:27SPEAKER_04: Or is that someone else?
- 58:29SPEAKER_02: Um pickles are alien willies, aren't they?
- 58:30SPEAKER_04: Like gherkins.
- 58:32SPEAKER_04: Did you hear that, Rich?
- 58:33SPEAKER_04: Alien willies.
- 58:34SPEAKER_04: Alien willies, yeah.
- 58:35SPEAKER_04: Have you never heard of that?
- 58:35SPEAKER_02: Um I'll cornichle.
- 58:37SPEAKER_02: Cornishon.
- 58:38SPEAKER_02: I'll take an egg.
- 58:39SPEAKER_04: Get your protein in.
- 58:40SPEAKER_04: And last but not least, would you rather have to wear a wet swimsuit all day or wet jeans all day?
- 58:46SPEAKER_04: Either way, you are getting thrush or something from that.
- 58:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's an unhealthy environment, isn't it?
- 58:52SPEAKER_02: B V.
- 58:54SPEAKER_02: Wet jeans.
- 58:55SPEAKER_02: I'm just thinking I'm wearing jeans now, but would I rather be sat here in wet jeans or in my swimmers?
- 58:59SPEAKER_02: Swimmers would dry quicker than jeans.
- 59:01SPEAKER_02: That's true.
- 59:02SPEAKER_02: Maybe I'll just live by the beach.
- 59:04SPEAKER_02: I'll take the swimmers.
- 59:05SPEAKER_02: Kind of a beach girl.
- 59:08SPEAKER_04: No?
- 59:08SPEAKER_04: No.
- 59:09SPEAKER_04: You didn't see yourself as kind of a beach girl.
- 59:11SPEAKER_04: Have you not heard Cheryl Cole say that?
- 59:14SPEAKER_02: No, Cheryl Cole.
- 59:15SPEAKER_02: Cheryl Cole.
- 59:17SPEAKER_02: Right, come on, hit me.
- 59:18SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 59:19SPEAKER_02: Would you rather have a partner who's amazing in a crisis but useless day to day?
- 59:24SPEAKER_02: Or great day to day but falls apart in a crisis?
- 59:30SPEAKER_04: Uh I always go with the squirrel test.
- 59:34SPEAKER_04: The squirrel test is can you roll over in the middle of the night and go, shit, something's gone wrong?
- 59:38SPEAKER_04: If they look at you and go, don't worry, we'll figure it out, that's great.
- 59:41SPEAKER_04: If they look at you and go, what are we gonna do?
- 59:43SPEAKER_04: That's a nick.
- 59:44SPEAKER_04: Um so um shit, day to day, better in a crisis.
- 59:52SPEAKER_02: Oh really?
- 59:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 59:52SPEAKER_02: Oh, interesting.
- 59:53SPEAKER_02: I'd go the opposite way around.
- 59:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 59:55SPEAKER_02: Um, would you rather meet your soul mate at 18 and then lose them at 40 or meet them at 40 but only have 10 years together?
- 1:00:03SPEAKER_02: I don't like this assuming someone's gonna die at 50.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sad, isn't it?
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_01: What's he got?
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_02: Life is sure.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_04: Everyday above crowns is a great day.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_04: Might be stabbed by his wife, you don't know.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_04: Alright, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, we see you.
- 1:00:13SPEAKER_04: Um I reckon 40.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_04: Meaning at 14 should have 10 years together.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_02: Because 18, you don't know what you want at 18.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_02: Um, would you rather be able to skip any conversation or redo any conversation?
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_02: Oh, skip conversation.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_04: Skip, yeah.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_04: Skip this pod right now.
- 1:00:32SPEAKER_02: Excuse me.
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_04: I got somewhere to be.
- 1:00:37SPEAKER_02: Would you rather have a photographic memory or the ability to forget anything on command?
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_04: Um, I have a very good imagination and a very good memory anyway.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_04: So I would argue that I can do the whole photographic stuff on things.
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_04: Not all the time, but most of the time, so I'll go with that one.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_02: Would you rather have your Google Maps voice be your ex or your head teacher from school?
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_04: Oh, my head teacher from school, because he's an absolute fucking lad.
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_02: Oh would you rather accidentally call your date by your ex's name or accidentally call your boss babe?
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_02: I call my boss babe.
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_02: Alright, babe.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_03: Would you rather lick a stranger's used fork or use a stranger's used razor?
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_05: Used fork.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you might get AIDS if you do the razor.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_04: I don't think that's how AIDS works, but alright.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_02: Well, if they've cut themselves shaving, that's what everyone used to say at school, no?
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 1:01:33SPEAKER_02: You cut yourself shaving and then they've previously cut themselves shaving, you might get AIDS.
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't know how realistic that is, but be safe out there, kids.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_02: Can't wait for my scientist friends to listen to this.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_02: Final one.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_02: Would you rather have your armpit hair grow to your knees or have your eyebrows grow to your chin?
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_04: That's a really tough wank.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_02: That's a lot a lot of growth, isn't it?
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_04: I reckon armpits because you can you can wear stuff that wouldn't show it.
- 1:02:06SPEAKER_04: Brave.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_04: That's my loophole.
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_04: You and then I could probably plat it.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_04: Chinese crested.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_04: Well, and they've just got a little bit on top.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_04: Anyway, there you go.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_04: Do you have any random thoughts for me?
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_02: Uh no.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_02: But I do have a good news story.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_04: So if you've got a random thought, go for it while I Sadly, I don't think I do have a random thought for you guys.
- 1:02:29SPEAKER_04: So give me your news story.
- 1:02:32unknown: Okay.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_02: This is about a good dog.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_02: So ten years ago today, police dog Finn nearly died protecting his handler in an attack that would ultimately change British law.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_02: In the early hours of the 5th of October 2016, police dog Finn and his handler, PC Dave Wardle, were chasing a suspected robber in Stevenage when Finn caught up with him as he tried to escape.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_02: The suspect pulled out a ten-inch knife, stabbed Finn through the chest.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_02: I know it's really sad.
- 1:03:00SPEAKER_02: He then turned the knife on Dave, his handler, but despite already being seriously injured, Finn put himself between his handler and the blade, suffering another wound to his head.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_02: Dave believes that Finn saved his life.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_02: So Finn being the diggity dog.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he did.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_02: Finn's lungs had been punctured in four places.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_02: He needed hours of emergency surgery, but he survived.
- 1:03:20SPEAKER_02: What a lad.
- 1:03:21SPEAKER_02: Just 11 weeks later, he returned to active duty and he even helped to catch another fleeing suspect on his first shift back before retiring in 2017.
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_02: What a champ.
- 1:03:31SPEAKER_02: What happened to Finn also exposed a problem with the law.
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_02: His injuries could be treated as criminal damage.
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_02: So Dave began campaigning for greater protection for service animals.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_02: In 2019, Finn's law came into force in England and Wales, giving greater legal protection to service animals injured in the line of duty.
- 1:03:50SPEAKER_02: Finn's story made him one of Britain's best known police dogs.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_02: He received the PDSA Gold Medal for his devotion to duty, reached the Britons Got Talent final alongside Dave in 2019.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_04: What a guy.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_02: And spent his retirement meeting thousands of people.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_02: Finn died peacefully in his sleep in July 2023, aged 14.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_06: Wow.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_02: A bronze statue of him now stands in Buntingford, where he lived with Dave and his family.
- 1:04:14SPEAKER_02: Ten years after Finn saved his life, Dave says he'll visit in visit it today to sit with his best friend again.
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_04: Right, can I just say I know that's a really like nice end to the story.
- 1:04:25SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_04: But you're supposed to be this good news is supposed to be really, really good news.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_04: I don't really want to hear about dogs dying.
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_04: That's what I'm saying.
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_04: Is that too sad for you?
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_04: That was fucking sad.
- 1:04:33SPEAKER_04: Sorry.
- 1:04:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_02: I thought it was really nice.
- 1:04:36SPEAKER_02: It made a lot of sad.
- 1:04:37SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 1:04:37SPEAKER_02: When he said he'd sit with his friend again, that's what made me cry.
- 1:04:40SPEAKER_02: I'm not I'm not okay.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Jesus.
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_02: I love a dag.
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_02: God.
- 1:04:45SPEAKER_02: Sorry, that's that's my cheery news.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_02: But he changed the law.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_02: What a guy.
- 1:04:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:04:49SPEAKER_02: It was a real roller coaster.
- 1:04:51SPEAKER_02: A roller coaster of a story.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_02: Well, that's all, folks.
