  Thank you. That's Chairman Emeritus Stewart getting my water, everybody. I appreciate that. Thank you. Room temperature, but okay. That's a lesson to be learned.

• 1:19Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:20Speaker 02

  That we all get each other's waters.

• 1:22Speaker 03

  I need some water. Could you go and get me some?

• 1:23Speaker 02

  Sheds, as they call it in New Zealand.

• 1:25Speaker 03

  Tell me about sheds.

• 1:26Speaker 02

  So I read this book about the New Zealand rugby team and the captain.

• 1:30Speaker 03

  Was it a picture book?

• 1:31Speaker 02

  No, it's a real book.

• 1:32Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:32Speaker 02

  The captain and the most senior players.

• 1:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:36Speaker 02

  Empty out the sheds, the changing rooms, every session, every match. It shows you that you're not too above you.

• 1:43Speaker 03

  I quite agree.

• 1:44Speaker 02

  So they empty the bins, they sweep the floors, they make sure the changing rooms are tidy.

• 1:48Speaker 03

  Back in the day, when I was doing my couple of weeks of butler training, the butler that was training me said that, in fact, this happened on one of the days, one of the sort of the daily housekeepers that would come in and, you know, work at the castle and clean was ill and called in sick. And he said, well, the person that then does her duties and cleans the loos is the butler. It's the top of the tree. The butler goes back down. You don't, you don't get then someone lower down the train. It's a sign of a good manager. Bob Iger, former CEO of Disney, in his book, I think you've read that as well, Ride of a Lifetime?

• 2:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's good.

• 2:23Speaker 03

  He is the first one that is in the office beyond security, turns on the lights, makes the coffee. Why should you, if you're the boss of a company, you don't, shouldn't expect other people to do things that you're not prepared to do yourself?

• 2:34Speaker 02

  I'll have a tea too. Sugars, please, Stu.

• 2:40Speaker 02

  Hello and welcome to Help I Sexted My Boss, the podcast where we help you navigate the challenges of modern day life, answering your 21st century questions and finding solutions to everyday dilemmas like, what should you do when your boyfriend wants to use your neighbour's sex toys? Or how would you ask someone if after crashing their Limebike into your car, you've not had time to wipe your arse? And what should you do if you've accidentally sexted your boss? But we're not usually having the answer, are we? William Hanson, the UK's leading etiquette expert.

• 3:12Speaker 03

  No, we're not. Jordan North, radio and television presenter. I'm more friends with Benedict, you're more friends with benefits. That's from Emily. I'm not, I mean, where do we start with that? Benedict's not here today, actually.

• 3:24Speaker 02

  He's not?

• 3:25Speaker 03

  No, another flipping holiday.

• 3:27Speaker 02

  He's at Boomtown Festival.

• 3:29Speaker 03

  What is it?

• 3:29Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 3:30Speaker 03

  Is that next to Toy Town?

• 3:31Speaker 02

  He's too old to be, he's clinging on to his youth, isn't he? He's too old to be going to Boomtown. What is Boomtown Festival?

• 3:37Speaker 03

  Absolutely no idea.

• 3:39Speaker 02

  Okay. Producer Jack, what's Boomtown Festival?

• 3:44Speaker 04

  Boomtown Festival.

• 3:45Speaker 02

  That is so chic. In such a funny way. Has he got a foot pedal?

• 3:50Speaker 03

  Ben, Ben does, has to press it and he uses all his strength to hold his fingers down on the button. Jack has just put the button on the floor and stomped on the button.

• 3:58Speaker 04

  I watched Ben with his little frail fingers try and push it every week. And I've said to him, why don't you use your foot? It's a foot pedal. It says it on the box.

• 4:05Speaker 02

  Oh, is it actually?

• 4:06Speaker 03

  Is it actually meant as a foot pedal?

• 4:07Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh, so right. It's basically like being at a cheer and gig fest.

• 4:13Speaker 03

  Anyway, sorry, we interrupt. Your button pressing distracted us. What is Boomtown?

• 4:16Speaker 02

  So chic.

• 4:18Speaker 04

  I've never been to Boomtown, I've got to be honest, but it's in the South Downs National Park near Winchester. It's strictly 18s only. It features sprawling living storyline built around life-sized street sets, complete with 12 main stages, more than 50 hidden venues across heavily themed city districts. It sounds a bit more cat than Ben, to be honest.

• 4:38Speaker 03

  Yeah. Well, I hope they have a lovely time.

• 4:40Speaker 02

  Hey, now, do you know what? I thought it'd go down well with our gin and the bonnet.

• 4:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:45Speaker 02

  It's one of the reasons why I'm a bit late today. Also, I had a marketing meeting, but.

• 4:51Speaker 03

  I'll pour in a gin and a bonnet.

• 4:53Speaker 02

  What did you say you've never tried before on a recent episode?

• 4:57Speaker 03

  Poppers.

• 4:57Speaker 02

  No, it wasn't poppers. Remember?

• 5:03Speaker 03

  Can I finish doing the gin or do you want to take over?

• 5:05Speaker 02

  No, you do.

• 5:06Speaker 03

  Oh, I'll do it all. Hang on, I've done the gin.

• 5:09Speaker 02

  Do you want me to do the bonnet?

• 5:10Speaker 03

  Well, I did. I just asked you, but you made it quite clear that that was not your one. Well, you've put a white, sort of a white paper bag with greasy bags inside it. I can't smell what I think it is, so that's probably a good sign. Can't smell anything fishy.

• 5:29Speaker 02

  No, we know nothing fishy touches your lips.

• 5:31Speaker 03

  No.

• 5:31Speaker 02

  Can I have a second any longer, please?

• 5:34Speaker 03

  Well, I'm sort of delaying the inevitable about what I'm getting, you're going to make me do.

• 5:38Speaker 02

  Open it up. Have a look.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  Right. Shall we do the toast first? This is to Phoebe, who's messaging to say, hi, William, Jordan, EPB and the rest of the sexter team. I'd love it if you could do a toast to wish me and many others around the world, good luck for their results today. Presumably that's sort of exam results, not clinic results. Throughout the many months

• 5:57Speaker 02

  Good luck to them as well.

• 5:58Speaker 03

  Throughout the many months of revision, I always had you two on to help me through and make me laugh when I felt overwhelmed, which was 90% of the time. Honestly, I'm not sure how I would have survived the exam period without you. Thank you so much for everything you do and keeping us all entertained. Here's hoping all those months of revision has paid off. Phoebe. Phoebe and everyone else getting their results. Exam, sexual, whatever. Here's to you. Up yours.

• 6:20Speaker 02

  Thank you. Congrats on your results and best of luck. And do we have to, like, well, I'm not going to do that whole, don't worry if you didn't get what you want thing, but don't worry if you didn't get what you wanted.

• 6:32Speaker 03

  You've just done it.

• 6:32Speaker 02

  It doesn't matter. It does matter. Have a look in there.

• 6:37Speaker 03

  Oh, gosh. That's not what I thought it was.

• 6:41Speaker 02

  What did you think it was?

• 6:43Speaker 03

  I thought it was chips.

• 6:44Speaker 02

  Well, it's not far off.

• 6:46Speaker 03

  It's a battered sausage, I believe.

• 6:48Speaker 02

  You said, look at the size of that. It's the best way to have sausage, I've always said. Battered. Right?

• 6:54Speaker 03

  Can I have an iPhone four?

• 6:55Speaker 02

  No, no, no, none of that. We ain't got time for that. Just get stuck in.

• 7:00Speaker 03

  It's lukewarm.

• 7:01Speaker 02

  Just go on, give it a bite.

• 7:03Speaker 03

  Can I tear it off?

• 7:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, you can tear it off.

• 7:04Speaker 03

  Oh, it feels so greasy.

• 7:06Speaker 02

  Eat it whole. Eat it whole.

• 7:07Speaker 03

  What sort of sausage?

• 7:08Speaker 02

  The battered sausage.

• 7:09Speaker 03

  Pork?

• 7:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, sure.

• 7:13Speaker 03

  Oh, I don't think I want to try battered sausage.

• 7:19Speaker 03

  Oh, it's not for me. No.

• 7:21Speaker 02

  No?

• 7:25Speaker 02

  Oh, it's for me.

• 7:26Speaker 03

  Oh, I can feel my artery is closing.

• 7:29Speaker 02

  Oh, my God.

• 7:31Speaker 03

  Oh, no.

• 7:32Speaker 02

  Oh, I'm not imagining a chippy cheese out.

• 7:35Speaker 03

  Well, thank you for getting that for me and ticking that off my bouquet list, but

• 7:42Speaker 03

  it's beginning to grow on me, but I think it would need to be much hotter. I need to have some sauce. It's a bit dry.

• 7:48Speaker 02

  With mushy peas?

• 7:49Speaker 03

  Could you swallow before you carry on?

• 7:51Speaker 02

  Or curry sauce?

• 7:53Speaker 03

  Oh, not.

• 7:55Speaker 02

  Or with gravy?

• 7:56Speaker 04

  What drink do you think would best pair with a battered sausage?

• 7:58Speaker 02

  Dandelion and burdock, any day of the week.

• 8:00Speaker 03

  What? Dandelion and burdock?

• 8:04Speaker 02

  You've never heard or had dandelion and burdock?

• 8:07Speaker 03

  God, I guess, I guess what we're doing next week?

• 8:10Speaker 03

  What is it? Is that alcohol?

• 8:11Speaker 02

  I love how they both wrote that down on the note there. You've never had dandelion and burdock?

• 8:16Speaker 03

  I don't know what it is.

• 8:17Speaker 02

  In eight years we've been doing this and you still never cease to amaze me.

• 8:20Speaker 03

  Is it alcoholic?

• 8:21Speaker 02

  No, it's a kind of pop. It's dandelion and burdock.

• 8:27Speaker 02

  They're a really good detective series in 90s as well.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  Right.

• 8:29Speaker 02

  ITV.

• 8:31Speaker 03

  Of course it was.

• 8:31Speaker 02

  Oh, was that De Zell? Did you ever watch De Zell and Pascoe?

• 8:34Speaker 03

  De Zell, that's not how you say it.

• 8:37Speaker 02

  What were they called? Do you remember, Stu? What was it? The Alan Pascoe. That were a good one.

• 8:42Speaker 03

  No.

• 8:43Speaker 02

  My grandma used to like that.

• 8:44Speaker 03

  I did Poirot and Marple.

• 8:46Speaker 02

  They were from up north, The Alan Pascoe.

• 8:48Speaker 03

  That's why I didn't watch it. Anyway, yes. Thank you for getting me battered sausage, everyone.

• 8:52Speaker 02

  Oh, oh, grab that.

• 8:55Speaker 03

  Nice. How are you?

• 8:56Speaker 02

  I'm good. How are you?

• 8:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, fine. I feel we've got a lot to talk about.

• 9:00Speaker 02

  We've got a lot to talk about. Where would you like to begin? The barbecue?

• 9:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, go on. This could be the entire episode, everyone.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  We had William Hanson and everyone from the Help I Sexted My Boss team and the Capital Breakfast crew.

• 9:13Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 9:13Speaker 02

  And Will Manning.

• 9:16Speaker 03

  Just for good measure.

• 9:18Speaker 02

  Round of mine on, uh, the weekend for barbecue.

• 9:21Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 9:22Speaker 02

  There was a couple of slip ups, but other than that, there was a bit of a disaster. The, uh, the gas ran out halfway through.

• 9:29Speaker 03

  Yeah. So, I mean, let's start there. It was, we had a lovely time.

• 9:34Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 9:34Speaker 03

  I'm just going to preface anything that then follows.

• 9:37Speaker 02

  Why is everyone saying that? Cause no one's mentioned the food.

• 9:40Speaker 03

  Well, we'll come on to the, we're going to, trust me, we'll come on to the food.

• 9:44Speaker 03

  We had a lovely time. So please, no one read into this. We all had a lovely time. We're not being ungracious. We had a lovely time. However, I did notice, uh, we were some of the first, I think Ben was the first there, actually.

• 9:55Speaker 02

  Ben was the first to arrive.

• 9:56Speaker 03

  Eager Beaver.

• 9:57Speaker 02

  Couldn't believe it.

• 9:57Speaker 03

  No. With the dog.

• 9:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, there you go. It's all a lovely time, Jules. I thought your hot dogs and your burgers and your, everything was lovely. Really, really nice day it was. I, I loved it. I loved it. It was beautiful.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  Um, so we arrive, Ben's there, Mikey and I then turn up and I did the, first of all, I looked at the barbecue. And I thought, what a small canister of gas. You'd gone for the half size. So generally it was one of my first things I thought of, went, that's quite small. He hasn't gone for the big size.

• 10:25Speaker 02

  Oh, is the big size one?

• 10:26Speaker 03

  There is a big size one.

• 10:27Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 10:27Speaker 03

  Mine's bigger than yours and I've got two of them. In fact, you had two of them. You basically had a full size canister, just split over two smaller ones. Um, but, and, and only because I've come more recently to barbecuing, you are much more adept at barbecuing than I am and have done it longer. When I was ordering my gas canister, I thought, should I get the half size? I was like, no, I'll just get the big size. I won't be tight. I'll get the big size.

• 10:51Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 10:52Speaker 03

  Anyway, so I did notice that. And then when you then started to cook a few hours later, halfway through cooking, was it sausages and burgers you were doing?

• 11:02Speaker 03

  It ran out.

• 11:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:03Speaker 03

  And then you went, oh, don't worry. I've got another, I've got another one. Went to go and get the other one. That was empty.

• 11:08Speaker 02

  That was empty. Yeah.

• 11:10Speaker 03

  Yeah. So, hmm.

• 11:13Speaker 02

  Everything was going to plan. I did all the prep the night before. I made the salad. I, I, you know, I did all the prep.

• 11:19Speaker 03

  Oh my God, so much food. It was so lovely.

• 11:22Speaker 02

  Brownies and that. So then we had to kind of oven cook everything else.

• 11:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:26Speaker 02

  And, um.

• 11:28Speaker 03

  Can we talk about the chicken?

• 11:29Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:30Speaker 03

  So there was a point where you took the chicken out just to check if it was okay. You took the foil off the top. And you were like, oh, is that cooked? Which is just what you want to hear with chicken in particular. And I said, have you got a meat probe? Anyway, you pulled your trousers back up and.

• 11:48Speaker 03

  Sorry.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  Been waiting for that one all.

• 11:49Speaker 03

  No, I have just thought of that. Anyway, I said, have you got a meat probe? You go, oh yes. And you go and you get yours out the, the kitchen utensil drawer. Now it's not a digital one. That's fine. It's a, it's a dial one. Fine. They will work. However, it's when you then stuck it in and you were, and it wasn't really moving and we noticed there was glass inside the meat probe. Where it had shattered. So it obviously wasn't working properly enough. Because it's broken. You just need a new one. I went, not gonna have chicken. I'll just have the sausages and the burgers.

• 12:17Speaker 02

  Can I just say, the chicken was what everyone's going on about.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  Oh, is it? Well, I missed out.

• 12:21Speaker 02

  I marinated the night before. I put the black, like latex gloves on and proper got stuck in. Made my own barbecue marinade the night before.

• 12:28Speaker 03

  What was, what are your ingredients?

• 12:30Speaker 02

  Well, that'd be telling.

• 12:31Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 12:32Speaker 02

  Honestly.

• 12:34Speaker 03

  You have no idea.

• 12:34Speaker 02

  No, I went on Google Gemini.

• 12:36Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  And did it and it told me what to do then.

• 12:38Speaker 03

  Fine.

• 12:39Speaker 02

  Which was great. Um, then.

• 12:41Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 12:42Speaker 02

  The, the, the, the gas went. So then I had to put it all in the, the oven and people were proper starving. So I'm like getting crispy out. Who went to get the gas?

• 12:49Speaker 03

  That was Mikey and me.

• 12:51Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 12:51Speaker 03

  And both Toms.

• 12:52Speaker 02

  And both Toms.

• 12:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:53Speaker 02

  Thank you for that. I still owe you for that. How much do I owe you?

• 12:56Speaker 03

  You've already texted me about it. Fifty five pounds, I think it was.

• 12:59Speaker 02

  Are you sure?

• 13:00Speaker 03

  Yeah. And by the way, that hardware store, they did not take American Express.

• 13:05Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 13:05Speaker 03

  I did ask. Actually, that hardware store is actually really good.

• 13:08Speaker 02

  Fifty five pounds for gas?

• 13:10Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 13:12Speaker 03

  And we took both canisters and that was for one of the half canisters.

• 13:15Speaker 02

  Why didn't you fill?

• 13:16Speaker 03

  Well, because we decided now, like, is it really generous enough that we are?

• 13:20Speaker 02

  I would have given you the money.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  I know. I don't actually know why we didn't. Don't blame me. But we didn't. We just did one.

• 13:26Speaker 02

  Okay. How long does it take to fill a gas canister?

• 13:28Speaker 03

  Oh, they did it in seconds.

• 13:29Speaker 02

  Oh, right.

• 13:30Speaker 03

  The biggest thing was crossing the road and waiting for the traffic lights.

• 13:32Speaker 02

  Well, thank you for doing that. You rescued the day. And then I had to put everything in the oven. And then just blast it on the barbecue. But ideally you want it on the barbecue properly. So.

• 13:40Speaker 03

  Where you have previously said to me, oh, I bet you're one of those people that just cook everything in the oven, then finish it off on the barbecue. Well, look at you now.

• 13:48Speaker 02

  This is actually what I had to do.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:50Speaker 02

  But we got, we got there in the end, I think, didn't we?

• 13:53Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 13:53Speaker 02

  It, it, it wasn't too bad. I just, I didn't have time to melt the cheese on the burgers, which annoyed me.

• 13:58Speaker 03

  Oh, that's fine.

• 13:59Speaker 02

  Did you have a burger?

• 14:00Speaker 03

  I did. I had two burgers, I think.

• 14:02Speaker 02

  Did you?

• 14:03Speaker 03

  Yes. Contrary, contrary to the edict of one sausage, one burger, one corn on the cob.

• 14:09Speaker 04

  Um, I definitely had at least two.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  Oh, good.

• 14:11Speaker 04

  The burgers were great. And the sausages actually were incredible.

• 14:14Speaker 02

  They were. Thank you.

• 14:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, probed that.

• 14:16Speaker 02

  Yeah. Is he?

• 14:16Speaker 05

  I just had two sausage. No burger, no chicken.

• 14:20Speaker 02

  What about the food?

• 14:23Speaker 02

  It was a joke, is he? Sit there and laugh, love.

• 14:30Speaker 02

  She's funny. You, you were on fine form. You're on fine form. Did you see at the end where it turned into a disco or did you left by then?

• 14:38Speaker 03

  I had left by then, but I had, I've seen clips. Yeah.

• 14:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. But it was, it was.

• 14:43Speaker 03

  Apparently there was a point where the big light very much went on for people to go.

• 14:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, I was, I was done.

• 14:48Speaker 03

  You've hit your limit.

• 14:49Speaker 02

  I've like, owed me when we first started. You would have all been round till two, three in the morning, but. Um, putting the big light on and playing, it's time to say goodbye. They really got the hint.

• 15:02Speaker 03

  That'll do it.

• 15:02Speaker 02

  Which was, which was great. But it was good. I noticed you, you weren't, um, you, you're a bit like those children that don't like noise and stuff.

• 15:10Speaker 03

  I absolutely do not like noise.

• 15:11Speaker 02

  When we were playing beer pong.

• 15:13Speaker 03

  No, I had to remove myself from the building.

• 15:14Speaker 02

  It was good because it started off beer pong. It started off pretty civil because the two teams were gays versus straights, which in the media industry in London is pretty much split down the middle, weren't it?

• 15:25Speaker 03

  I think it was more heavily weighted one side than the other.

• 15:28Speaker 02

  I actually think it was. At one point someone said to me, I experimented in uni. What team can I go on? I was like, you decide.

• 15:34Speaker 03

  Did Ben say that?

• 15:36Speaker 02

  I was like, you decide. Um, and so that was fine. And then we had team sexted.

• 15:41Speaker 03

  Versus team capital.

• 15:43Speaker 02

  Oof, oh, it kicked off. At one point, Ben and producer Callum were effing each other, finger pointing, I'll fucking cut you and all this. Fuck off, you shit bastard and all that. Ben was getting proper, I'll fucking help you and all that.

• 15:58Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 15:58Speaker 02

  But, um, I was referee, which was a lot of pressure because I decided I can't choose.

• 16:04Speaker 03

  No, you were putting yourself.

• 16:06Speaker 02

  Both, both my children.

• 16:08Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 16:08Speaker 02

  Um, and, and capital breakfast won.

• 16:11Speaker 03

  They did.

• 16:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:12Speaker 02

  Which was, we'll get.

• 16:13Speaker 03

  But they look like a sort of people that are more used to playing beer pong. Can I say that?

• 16:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, you can say that. But I noticed you, you went off.

• 16:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, I went and sat upstairs. I couldn't deal with the noise. A group of us went and just secreted ourselves on your sofa upstairs.

• 16:27Speaker 02

  But it was good and it was, it was great to have you all around.

• 16:29Speaker 03

  Well, thank you for having us. It was lovely. And I would like to apologize before you bring it up because no one's perfect. Especially after literally in last week's episode, off the back of talking about post and redirecting posts when you move. And I said, well, of course I would always send things to you at your new address. I sent the flowers to your old flat. Which is only around the corner. To be fair, it's not like it was miles away.

• 16:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, it wasn't a flat. It's a house, but anyway.

• 16:55Speaker 03

  It was a flat. Wasn't the whole building. That's called a flat.

• 16:59Speaker 02

  It's two floors.

• 17:00Speaker 03

  It's still called a flat.

• 17:01Speaker 02

  Well, I disagree. But anyway, um, we got them.

• 17:03Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:04Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 17:04Speaker 03

  We'll consult the land registry.

• 17:06Speaker 02

  Lovely, lovely flowers. Thank you.

• 17:08Speaker 03

  That's a pleasure.

• 17:08Speaker 02

  Um, did you try any of the buzz balls that were going around?

• 17:12Speaker 03

  Um, if I'm completely honest, I was made to as I was leaving, I mimed drinking it.

• 17:19Speaker 02

  Good.

• 17:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 17:20Speaker 02

  I would have been annoyed at the time, but it turns out, um, so buzz balls, there was a big massive one and everyone was just drinking from it. Uh, Will Mammon's got a really bad infection. Like, we don't know if it's mumps. We don't know if it's, like, it's happened. So we're all a bit worried we might get it. It's not like an STI or anything. But yeah, so there's something going on there.

• 17:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, I, there was not a hope in hell I was going to be drinking from a buzz ball.

• 17:43Speaker 02

  It was.

• 17:43Speaker 03

  I mean, I've done it on this podcast before a few months ago, but a big giant communal one, absolutely not.

• 17:48Speaker 02

  Hmm. But it was good. It was great to have you all around.

• 17:50Speaker 03

  It was lovely. It was an interesting approach to hosting. When you say, come around for two thirty, you've all got to go by eight thirty, but food only comes out at ten past six.

• 18:00Speaker 02

  Well, the.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  Admittedly, that was mainly the gas.

• 18:02Speaker 02

  Were you all hungry?

• 18:03Speaker 03

  No.

• 18:04Speaker 02

  Well, to be fair, the food was meant to, I was meant to start up. The, the food weren't that delayed, right?

• 18:10Speaker 03

  Oh, we were meant to be eating six.

• 18:12Speaker 02

  So the, the food, I was going to put it on at four, but then by the time everyone arrived, I was like, right, I'm going to give it another half hour. I put the food on at half four. It would have been done for half five, but because of the gas, it was an extra half an hour, forty minutes. So I think half five would have been fine, but everyone was starving.

• 18:28Speaker 03

  I did find myself, and I do apologize, being a bit passive aggressive because I had, you know, you, I arrived, you gave me a drink. I think it was champagne or something. Had a few glasses of that. And then I was being offered more drink by various of the guests and I kept going around going, when I eat, I'll have more. When I eat, I'll have more. And I, I checked myself.

• 18:46Speaker 02

  Hungry. I told yous all not to come.

• 18:47Speaker 03

  No, no, I wasn't hungry. And there were chips and dips and your friend brought that lovely sort of auberginey like dippy thing with bread, which is lovely. No, so there was stuff to eat, but I did find myself thinking, God, I'm being really passive aggressive. So I apologize for that.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  That's just you, babe, don't worry.

• 19:03Speaker 03

  Well, that's just my default setting. Can we talk about Ben's granddad shirt that he was in? Wasn't he in a granddad shirt?

• 19:10Speaker 02

  Can't remember. I know he had.

• 19:11Speaker 03

  Sort of with short sleeve and checkered and quite a retro collar.

• 19:14Speaker 02

  He had jorts, white socks and the slip on shoes on, what they called.

• 19:20Speaker 03

  Crocs?

• 19:20Speaker 02

  No.

• 19:21Speaker 03

  No.

• 19:21Speaker 02

  Not brogs. What are the shoes called? Yeah.

• 19:25Speaker 03

  He did have a lovely loafer, actually.

• 19:27Speaker 02

  Loafer on, didn't he?

• 19:28Speaker 03

  Yeah. And I brought my cucumber.

• 19:30Speaker 02

  You did? Yes.

• 19:32Speaker 03

  You are the only person to have my cucumber. I've only grown one, but the others are maturing.

• 19:37Speaker 02

  William brought his cucumber that we added to the salad.

• 19:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:40Speaker 02

  I think.

• 19:40Speaker 03

  We did.

• 19:41Speaker 02

  Oh, did we actually add it?

• 19:42Speaker 03

  Well, we chopped it up and then you could self add it.

• 19:44Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 19:45Speaker 03

  I didn't want to add to the salad.

• 19:47Speaker 02

  Forgot about you. It was a very impressive cucumber.

• 19:49Speaker 03

  Thank you very much.

• 19:50Speaker 02

  I can't believe you grew that.

• 19:51Speaker 03

  We all passed it around. There's a, there's photos of most people with my cucumber.

• 19:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 19:55Speaker 03

  I'm sure we'll put them on the carousel.

• 19:57Speaker 02

  It was good. Ben was the last to go, you know?

• 19:59Speaker 03

  Of course he was.

• 20:00Speaker 02

  And then he thought someone had bugged his camera.

• 20:03Speaker 03

  What's happened to your microwave? What was the text you sent in the group?

• 20:06Speaker 02

  Right, so come on. Right. Who's?

• 20:10Speaker 03

  How can you rob a microwave?

• 20:11Speaker 02

  So someone's robbed me microwave. You just reminded me, right?

• 20:15Speaker 03

  But how can you rob a microwave?

• 20:16Speaker 02

  Well, you tell me. I know it's because the breakfast lot, I swear, and it's not them. So I get up, I get up on Sunday morning, didn't notice. And Sunday afternoon, there's loads of jacket potatoes left over. There was enough food, weren't there? There was loads of food. There was loads of jacket potatoes left over. I thought, oh, I'll have a jacket potato. I'll go and warm it up. Went to go and warm it up. Microwave's not there. So whoever's took it, you're not funny. Or if you've hid it, Izzy, I know it's you. So just tell me now, because it's been nearly a week.

• 20:42Speaker 03

  Have you genuinely hid the microwave?

• 20:43Speaker 02

  Where have you hid it? I know it's an Izzy thing to do because, because at first I thought it was Chris Stark. I was like, that's him all over. I mean, and they've not said anything about it.

• 20:52Speaker 03

  Have you not properly looked in your house for the microwave?

• 20:54Speaker 02

  I've looked everywhere. So where have you hid it? Or where have you, because Jake swears that you didn't have it. You got in a taxi with Jake.

• 21:02Speaker 02

  Where have you hid it? You're not funny. I want, I want to know, I want, I'm, I'm, I knew it was you. I knew it was you. It's such an easy thing to do.

• 21:12Speaker 03

  Can you tell me later? I won't tell him.

• 21:13Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 21:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, okay. Hilarious.

• 21:15Speaker 02

  I knew it was you. Have you hidden it or?

• 21:19Speaker 05

  I didn't take it.

• 21:20Speaker 02

  Right. So you've hid it.

• 21:20Speaker 03

  So it's in the property still?

• 21:22Speaker 02

  It's such an easy thing. I knew it would have been her that's hid my microwave. It's wound me up all week.

• 21:28Speaker 03

  Have you checked eBay?

• 21:29Speaker 02

  I've tried to put beans in air fryer. It looks like someone from Dexter.

• 21:34Speaker 02

  Fucking everywhere. Honestly.

• 21:37Speaker 03

  She's amused.

• 21:38Speaker 02

  I know she's amused. I knew it would be you. You shit house. Fair play. A part of me respects it. It's such a burdenly thing to do that as well. I should have known it was you. I've hid your microwave. What the like. Anyway, so that was the barbecue. That was that. What else been going on? What do you want to, what do you want to discuss this afternoon?

• 21:54Speaker 03

  What do I want to discuss? Well, I've got something to ask you.

• 21:57Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. I've got something to ask you, but go on. Yeah, you first.

• 22:01Speaker 03

  Oh, no, I don't like it when you've got something to ask me. I don't know what it is. But I think mine's probably more exciting than yours.

• 22:06Speaker 02

  Go on.

• 22:06Speaker 03

  It depends on your definition of exciting. So we did sort of slightly, you actually annoyingly brought this up on a Friday episode a few weeks ago, but I wasn't ready to ask you, but I am going to ask you now.

• 22:21Speaker 03

  You know, next year, I have got my first novel coming out, A Fatal Forking, available to preorder now.

• 22:28Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 22:30Speaker 03

  Please, could you do a jacket quote for it?

• 22:33Speaker 02

  Oh, I'd be honoured.

• 22:34Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 22:34Speaker 02

  Do you really want me? You don't want let alone me to do your jacket quote.

• 22:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, don't, don't start being all humble. I'm asking you.

• 22:41Speaker 02

  No, I don't want you to do it because you feel like you have to. You could get some big, big people to do that. You don't, I don't, you don't have to ask me to do that.

• 22:48Speaker 03

  I'm asking you now. I've run it past my publisher. Eventually they said yes. Would you like to do it?

• 22:55Speaker 02

  Oh, that'd be an honour.

• 22:56Speaker 03

  I will have a copy for you to read next month.

• 22:59Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 23:00Speaker 03

  And we probably need it by the end of the year.

• 23:02Speaker 02

  Okay. Yeah, that's fine.

• 23:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 23:04Speaker 02

  Oh, plenty of time.

• 23:05Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 23:06Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 23:07Speaker 03

  I know you've already done a jacket quote.

• 23:08Speaker 02

  Thanks.

• 23:09Speaker 03

  Pleasure. I was also very humbled at your barbecue because in your sitting room, when I was upstairs, just sheltering from beer pong,

• 23:17Speaker 03

  on your bookshelf is both The Bluffers' Guide to Etiquette and The Bluffers' Guide to Entertaining and our Sexed book.

• 23:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, and your other book as well.

• 23:24Speaker 03

  Oh, it's just good manners there.

• 23:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, just good manners as well. I've got all your books on show. I'm proud of you.

• 23:30Speaker 03

  Not Protocol to Manage Relationships Today, but that's, that's an academic textbook.

• 23:33Speaker 02

  That I've got, I've always got your books on show.

• 23:35Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 23:36Speaker 02

  And I've got all your books in spare rooms.

• 23:38Speaker 03

  Room. Thank you. Good.

• 23:41Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:41Speaker 03

  Well, you can have A Fatal Forking next year and you can.

• 23:43Speaker 02

  I'd be honoured.

• 23:44Speaker 03

  You can show your quote. Well, thank you very much.

• 23:47Speaker 02

  I know what I'll say.

• 23:48Speaker 03

  We haven't read it yet.

• 23:49Speaker 02

  You might want to wallop the author.

• 23:50Speaker 03

  Oh, shut up. That's what you said for book two.

• 23:53Speaker 02

  But you'll learn a lot from this.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  Yes. I actually think you said.

• 23:57Speaker 02

  Punch.

• 23:57Speaker 03

  Punch. And we had to change it to wallop because we felt punch was a little bit aggressive.

• 24:01Speaker 02

  Well, that's very sweet of you. I'd love to.

• 24:03Speaker 03

  Great. Lovely. Have you, have you endorsed fiction before on, on a jacket?

• 24:07Speaker 02

  No. But this is, this, you having a book.

• 24:11Speaker 03

  Hmm, a novel.

• 24:12Speaker 02

  A novel.

• 24:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:13Speaker 02

  Has, has given me an idea for something. And I, I'm just.

• 24:17Speaker 03

  Is this a question of eleven a reef?

• 24:19Speaker 02

  No, I've just, I've just, um, I've got an idea. Stop looking at me notes. You might, well, you never.

• 24:24Speaker 03

  I'm trying to work out what it is.

• 24:26Speaker 02

  You never look at my notes.

• 24:27Speaker 03

  You've also written today in quite a sizable handwriting.

• 24:31Speaker 02

  Well, no other pens. Um, I've just, with your novel and me being a big reader, a lot of Jean Dever's always DMing me. I've had an idea, but just.

• 24:39Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:39Speaker 02

  Just watch this space. That's all I'm going to say.

• 24:41Speaker 03

  Which space?

• 24:42Speaker 02

  This space. We'll, we'll have an announcement soon. Got a really exciting idea for us.

• 24:46Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 24:47Speaker 02

  It's going to be good.

• 24:48Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 24:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:49Speaker 03

  Quick little tease.

• 24:50Speaker 02

  I know. I'm good at that.

• 24:52Speaker 03

  Oh, no, Jordan's miming someone with his teeth. She feels sick.

• 24:56Speaker 02

  It's my tongue, actually.

• 24:57Speaker 03

  Teeth and tongue.

• 24:58Speaker 02

  Just quickly.

• 24:59Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 24:59Speaker 02

  Um, the, and this is, this is, forgive us, this is a bit London centric. But the, the, the, the train you get home on.

• 25:09Speaker 03

  Mm hmm.

• 25:09Speaker 02

  What do you refer to it as? What?

• 25:11Speaker 03

  His Majesty's Elizabeth Line.

• 25:13Speaker 02

  Right. I thought so. Where are you?

• 25:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  Sorry, because I can just imagine people in Manchester going, I don't give a fucking shit about this thing, which is fair enough. Where are you with people calling it the Lizzie Line?

• 25:24Speaker 03

  I don't like it.

• 25:25Speaker 02

  Okay. I just, I, I, it's just, I, they're referring it now on certain news outlets as the.

• 25:30Speaker 03

  What?

• 25:31Speaker 02

  Yes. I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

• 25:33Speaker 03

  On commercial news outlets, I assume.

• 25:35Speaker 02

  Commercial, but I'm pretty sure I've heard it on the BBC as well.

• 25:39Speaker 03

  Well.

• 25:39Speaker 02

  And don't quote me on that, but I've heard it on radio. I've seen it on the tally as well.

• 25:43Speaker 03

  Broken Britain.

• 25:44Speaker 02

  Where are you with the term Lizzie Line? Would you ever call it the Lizzie Line?

• 25:47Speaker 03

  No.

• 25:48Speaker 02

  What is it?

• 25:49Speaker 03

  His Majesty's Elizabeth Line.

• 25:51Speaker 02

  Well, no, it's Her Majesty's.

• 25:52Speaker 03

  But it's part of His Majesty's Transport for London.

• 25:56Speaker 02

  So you just call it the Elizabeth Line?

• 25:57Speaker 03

  The Elizabeth Line is fine if you want to drop the, the prefix, yeah.

• 26:00Speaker 02

  But have you ever called it the Lizzie Line?

• 26:02Speaker 03

  Maybe once ironically.

• 26:04Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 26:05Speaker 03

  But no, I hate it. I don't, it was named after the late Queen Elizabeth.

• 26:08Speaker 02

  That's what I thought.

• 26:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:10Speaker 02

  But a lot, a lot of people in London call it the Lizzie Line.

• 26:12Speaker 03

  Sometimes if I'm being like Haile and Tha, I'll call it the Elizabeth Line, which is a reference to her next door neighbour. But it's still the Elizabeth Line in full.

• 26:21Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 26:21Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 26:22Speaker 02

  Funnily enough, after the barbecue, I put an episode of Keeping Up the Pains as well.

• 26:25Speaker 03

  Oh, why can't you put one on during the barbecue? I could have sort of, we could have snuggled on the sofa and watched it.

• 26:30Speaker 02

  Easy to watch. So watch the one where.

• 26:32Speaker 03

  Which one?

• 26:32Speaker 02

  Uh, where Richard retires and needed a hobby with the camera.

• 26:36Speaker 03

  Yes. I warned him against watching Channel Four.

• 26:38Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. Yeah, it's a great line. It's a great line.

• 26:41Speaker 03

  Can I also just at this point, because we did on a Friday episode recently, one of the questions in quickfire etiquette was how do you address the first sea lord? And actually I didn't have the answer off the top of my head. Obviously I went away and researched it. Do you know what? It was actually quite fascinating. I did actually say to Jack when he reminded me, I was like, I think it's going to be a really boring answer. Do you know what? It's not. So before we go on to the proper etiquette methodology.

• 27:04Speaker 02

  Surely this should be your etiquette methodology.

• 27:07Speaker 03

  Well, what?

• 27:09Speaker 02

  Just fine, fine.

• 27:10Speaker 03

  Tell you what, we'll have the jingle, we'll go to the break and I'll then do this. And if you think it's good enough, we'll just stick. And I'll save what I've also done for the etiquette methodology for another week.

• 27:20Speaker 02

  Great. Let's do that.

• 27:21Speaker 03

  After the break, I'll tell you how you address the first sea lord.

• 29:30Speaker 03

  Year nine?

• 29:30Speaker 02

  Yeah. It's all blowjobs and pindy jokes, isn't it?

• 29:35Speaker 03

  Not in year nine.

• 29:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 29:36Speaker 03

  Not in the independent sector.

• 29:38Speaker 02

  So your Etiquette Etymology on this week is what you're.

• 29:40Speaker 03

  Well, it was going to be about sunglasses, but it's maybe not now.

• 29:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, just do First Sea Lord.

• 29:45Speaker 03

  Um, so you don't actually call them First Sea Lord to their face. We should say the First Sea Lord is basically the head of the navy.

• 29:51Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 29:51Speaker 03

  Is the, is the chief of, the top of the tree in the navy. Um, you use their rank. You don't call them First Sea Lord. Now, normally that's easy because the head of the Royal Navy is always an admiral, admiral being the highest rank within the navy. So you would say Admiral or more formally Admiral so-and-so. But currently, there is a twist because the current First Sea Lord, Sir Gwyn Jenkins, presumably a little bit of Welsh in there.

• 30:19Speaker 02

  I, I should imagine, shall we? A name like that.

• 30:22Speaker 03

  Is the first.

• 30:23Speaker 02

  Ahoy there! Who's got this jacket?

• 30:26Speaker 03

  Is the first ever Royal Marine in the job and the Marines use army ranks. And so he's not an admiral, he's a general and he's the first ever general to run the navy.

• 30:38Speaker 02

  That's fascinating. I'm going to tell me dad this.

• 30:40Speaker 03

  There we go.

• 30:41Speaker 02

  Love this.

• 30:41Speaker 03

  So he's General Sir Gwyn Jenkins.

• 30:44Speaker 02

  And he's the first ever general.

• 30:46Speaker 03

  Someone to hold the, the rank of general to, to run the navy.

• 30:48Speaker 02

  Okay. See, that's, that's really good. That's all you need.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  It's not really, it's, yeah, but it's not an etymology.

• 30:53Speaker 02

  So you don't say, uh, excuse me.

• 30:55Speaker 03

  First Sea Lord, no.

• 30:56Speaker 02

  You say, excuse me, General.

• 30:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:58Speaker 02

  What's your, uh, excuse me, General.

• 31:00Speaker 03

  General Sir Gwyn.

• 31:01Speaker 02

  Some, General Sir Gwyn.

• 31:03Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 31:03Speaker 02

  You would say General Sir Gwyn.

• 31:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 31:06Speaker 02

  Not General Gwyn.

• 31:07Speaker 03

  No, because he's a sir as well.

• 31:09Speaker 02

  And if someone's sir, you don't call them by their surname. You call them Sir Liam, don't you?

• 31:13Speaker 03

  In speech, yes. You would, you would be Sir Jordan and on a envelope for an invitation, you would be Sir Jordan North. Thank God, can you imagine? Um, but I mean, the way, the way this country is going, I mean, give it a, give it a year. Um, Sir, oh God, if you're Sir Jordan North before me, I'm, I mean, I'm not going to be Sir Jordan.

• 31:29Speaker 02

  For services to podcasting and broadcasting.

• 31:31Speaker 03

  Oh my God, can you imagine?

• 31:33Speaker 02

  You just know it. I'm never gonna be. For services.

• 31:36Speaker 03

  We've, okay, look, can I just say, can we come up with a pact, a bit like Tess and Claudia, and they both accepted their honours at the same time? Can we do that too? And they've got to be the same honours.

• 31:45Speaker 02

  I'll shed your hand on that.

• 31:46Speaker 03

  Unless it's for something completely separate.

• 31:47Speaker 02

  I can't shed your hand on that.

• 31:49Speaker 03

  Why?

• 31:49Speaker 02

  Because what if I get it and you don't?

• 31:51Speaker 03

  Well, you say no.

• 31:53Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 31:54Speaker 03

  Unless it's for something totally separate to podcasting. Like, you know, you've gone, you've climbed Mount Kilimanjaro naked.

• 32:00Speaker 02

  If it's separate to podcasting.

• 32:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:02Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 32:02Speaker 03

  But if it's anything to do with podcasting, broadcasting.

• 32:05Speaker 02

  Not audio in general, because don't forget radio.

• 32:08Speaker 03

  Not going to get it for that.

• 32:12Speaker 03

  It's the bong game, not the gong game. Thank you very much. Three people got that joke. Um.

• 32:17Speaker 02

  I don't think I got it, but anyway.

• 32:18Speaker 03

  No, don't worry.

• 32:19Speaker 02

  Okay. Well, that, that's really, I'll tell me dad that.

• 32:21Speaker 03

  Good. He might know it.

• 32:23Speaker 02

  My brother's a paratrooper and the Marines and the paras are rivals because the Marines are like usually attached to the navy, aren't they? Is that right? Is that right?

• 32:31Speaker 03

  Aren't we all?

• 32:32Speaker 02

  And the paras are like the army.

• 32:34Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 32:34Speaker 02

  Is that right? There'll be loads saying.

• 32:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, but I think the Marines use army titles.

• 32:39Speaker 02

  My dad and my brothers hate it when I try to be army and refer to them because they say, I always get it wrong. I said in the WhatsApp group, I put Roger and they were like, my dad was like, what the fuck's that? Because he told me to meet him somewhere just before match recently.

• 32:53Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 32:54Speaker 02

  And he said, he's Roger that, you dick.

• 32:56Speaker 03

  I was Roger that?

• 32:57Speaker 02

  Or sort of Roger that or something. And he went, who's Roger?

• 33:00Speaker 03

  And did you Roger that?

• 33:00Speaker 02

  Hmm. But they, they can be at the bar.

• 33:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:04Speaker 02

  This is quite impressive before we move on. He can be at the bar and they do their little, little like army sign language, you know, like when you, it's a bit sad, but you know, and you're, and they'll hate me saying this, you know, and they're like in the desert and you can't speak. So they go like, and it's like, oh, today.

• 33:19Speaker 03

  Well, doing hand gestures.

• 33:20Speaker 02

  It's like, slow, like get lower.

• 33:22Speaker 03

  So and they're at the bar?

• 33:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, my, my brother.

• 33:25Speaker 03

  But they're, hang on, but where, how, how is that? I mean, in the trenches, can I have another beer?

• 33:28Speaker 02

  No. So we was at the pub after the Burnley game. It was busy and my dad went to my brother, say Jack said, my dad went,

• 33:37Speaker 02

  and Ryan went, go on up dad. I went, how do you mean? And that means on me. So I had to go. Anyway, should we go to the problems and dilemmas? Remember, if you need our help with something, then do get in touch. You can send your tales of trepidation to [email protected] or you can DM us. We're at Sex of My Boss on the socials. And remember, we are reading and hearing these for the first time, just like you guys as well, wherever you're watching or listening.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  This first one is from Kate, Hello, William Jordan, EPB and the rest of the Sexed Crew. My partner and I recently travelled to a birthday barbecue for his family, which was about a three hour drive from home. I offered to drive so that he could relax, enjoy the time with his family. And if he wanted to, have a few drinks without having to worry about the drive home. But it made me wonder whether there is actually an etiquette rule when it comes to deciding who should drive. For example, the same question could apply to going to a concert, a party, or really any outing one person has planned. Should the person who made the plans generally be the one to drive or is it more considerate for their partner to offer? Particularly if the event is more for them and it means they can enjoy themselves. So my question is, what is the etiquette when deciding who should drive when one person has made the plans or has more of a connection to the event? Would love to hear your ruling. All the best. From Canada, Kate.

• 34:45Speaker 02

  I think you did the right thing there because it was his family. So you're like, you have a drink and I'll drive. And in Canada, big countries like that, you drive everywhere, aren't you? I think i- in a relationship, you maybe take it in turns.

• 34:56Speaker 03

  Yeah. Or like you, I, I took one for the team last time. So you do it this time.

• 35:01Speaker 02

  Oh, it's not worse though, is it? Than going to party and you've got to drive. You can't enjoy it the same. You shite, you dread it all day. But it's usually, think, oh, I'm going to have a good drink tonight.

• 35:10Speaker 03

  I just think that's, I appreciate in recent years, I have been making up for many years of absolutely not drinking, but.

• 35:17Speaker 02

  You're telling me.

• 35:18Speaker 03

  I.

• 35:19Speaker 02

  Drinking so all dry.

• 35:20Speaker 03

  I would say you, if you're then going, oh, you can't get through an event without a drink, that's maybe borderline a sign that you've got a problem.

• 35:26Speaker 02

  I disagree.

• 35:27Speaker 03

  Hmm. Okay. But no, just take it in turns.

• 35:30Speaker 02

  That going to Wimbledon, you've got to, even if you don't like it, you've got to have PIMS, aren't you?

• 35:35Speaker 03

  Is it controversial to say, and this is, actually Mikey has started drinking, um, again, so just, you know, from time to time.

• 35:44Speaker 03

  Is it controversial to say, if you're in a relationship with someone who is teetotal and the other one drinks, whether they drink a lot or a little or a medium amount, the teetotal person basically, sorry to say, is going to be the designated driver.

• 35:57Speaker 02

  So I.

• 35:58Speaker 03

  And you've got to make your peace with them.

• 35:59Speaker 02

  I, I think if you're teetotal in your relationship, you probably are going to be the driver. Same with friends and stuff as well. Yeah.

• 36:06Speaker 03

  Yeah. The exception would be if it's maybe your, it's their birthday and you're driving, then obviously you say, look, you, you know, you don't drive at all, even though you're not drinking, it's your birthday, I'll drive. There are always exceptions. But I would say if you have chosen to not be a drinker or you are just not a drinker, you basically are, you've got to make your peace with the fact that you are going to be.

• 36:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:25Speaker 03

  The designated driver.

• 36:26Speaker 02

  Set up a rotor, but like if it's, if it's your friends, then he should drive. If it's his friends, then you drive maybe.

• 36:32Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 36:32Speaker 02

  Or get the train. But what, I don't know what the train system's like. Well, I do actually. I've seen race across the world. It's not that great in Canada.

• 36:39Speaker 03

  I wouldn't say race across the world is probably indicative of the general train system in Canada.

• 36:43Speaker 02

  You can just sit on a bus for 12 hours.

• 36:45Speaker 03

  Right.

• 36:46Speaker 02

  Well, your bread roll, stale bread roll and a pack of Uno. Not funny.

• 36:50Speaker 03

  This is from Anon. My wife and I have been together for 16 years. We're still very much in love and still enjoy each other's company.

• 36:56Speaker 02

  But.

• 36:57Speaker 03

  However, she's a very noisy eater and she makes me want to scream. I think I have the condition, whatever it's called. I know William will know because he's the brains of the show, misophonia. I have mentioned it in the past and she gets in a mood with me. I've tried telling her, so I can't help it, but it makes my piss boil. So for the last few years, I've just tried to block it out, but I feel that I'm getting more and more annoyed. Again, I love this woman with all my heart, truly, madly, deeply, but I fear this is going to make me snap. How can I tell her without her being upset with me? Anon.

• 37:26Speaker 02

  It sounds like you've got misoph- miss, what is it? Because I knew someone were like that and they were a right dick.

• 37:33Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 37:33Speaker 02

  Because I thought, I'm just eating normally because I'm not really allowed to eat her.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  I've never noticed.

• 37:37Speaker 02

  Thank you. But they were like, it.

• 37:40Speaker 03

  You're going to notice now.

• 37:41Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:41Speaker 03

  Listen in. Next time you gobble, I'll be listening.

• 37:44Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  Great. Usually you're watching. Um, but.

• 37:51Speaker 03

  Looking down.

• 37:52Speaker 02

  I think maybe you go and seek help for this. Cause it, it, you can, if it's getting like this, or at the point where you're dreading eating with them.

• 38:01Speaker 03

  No, I think you just have to say to your.

• 38:02Speaker 02

  I never know it's loud meat eaters unless it's.

• 38:04Speaker 03

  Oh, I do.

• 38:05Speaker 02

  Do you?

• 38:05Speaker 03

  Yeah. I don't struggle with it like, like this. I'm not a, I'm not a misophobe. But I would, yeah, I think you just have to say to your wife.

• 38:16Speaker 03

  This, it's a real issue. Maybe you say, look, I am going to try and get help, but in the meantime, I'm letting you know, just as if you are afraid of spiders, you let your significant other, even your flatmate, whoever you live with, know that you are afraid of spiders and they should be looking out for you if they see a spider.

• 38:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, okay. Yeah, go and.

• 38:36Speaker 03

  So just say.

• 38:37Speaker 02

  Get help for it and then you might have to have therapy and stuff because it'll start.

• 38:42Speaker 03

  It's all about how you communicate.

• 38:43Speaker 02

  Start chipping away at that, pal.

• 38:44Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 38:45Speaker 02

  Yeah. As, yeah.

• 38:47Speaker 04

  How would you have this conversation with Mikey?

• 38:50Speaker 03

  Well, Mikey's not a loud eater, but I might say, darling, are you aware that when you, when you eat, I can sometimes hear it. And actually, I think I've got misophonia. I'm gonna do, I'm gonna get that sorted and go and see someone. But in the meantime, could I just ask you to? Be, oh, you see.

• 39:05Speaker 02

  Well, you're about, I fucking eat normally. Don't start today. Please, my little flower pot. Don't start today.

• 39:12Speaker 03

  Do you think you're.

• 39:13Speaker 02

  I'm not doing too much, not today. I'm, I'm not getting into, I've been on that bloody head all day and this fucking eight and I come home and you're on about chomping. Not today.

• 39:26Speaker 03

  I think your Mikey impression might be how you would have sounded had you not moved to London.

• 39:30Speaker 02

  That's not true.

• 39:31Speaker 03

  I think it would have been.

• 39:32Speaker 02

  By the way, I don't sound that different compared to. Eight years ago.

• 39:38Speaker 03

  Jack disagrees.

• 39:39Speaker 02

  I don't, I, I.

• 39:41Speaker 04

  Do you want us to get the clips up?

• 39:42Speaker 03

  Do you know what we should do? Here's an idea. Here's an idea. No.

• 39:43Speaker 02

  No, no, no. Can I just say, I, no, I've said it before, I'll say it again. I used to, I was heavily on the piss at the time. For a good few years and smoked very harsh cigarettes. Hence why my voice sounded different.

• 39:58Speaker 03

  Uh, okay, we'll go, okay, we'll maybe go from series two or three, not series one.

• 40:02Speaker 02

  All right.

• 40:03Speaker 03

  But this is what we should do.

• 40:04Speaker 02

  Deal.

• 40:05Speaker 03

  I'm producing this, this segment. Get, find some episodes from early on, write a couple of sentences that he says, we will get you now to say those sentences.

• 40:17Speaker 02

  Great.

• 40:18Speaker 03

  And then we will play how you said those sentences and compare and contrast. Thank you.

• 40:23Speaker 04

  We'll do that next week.

• 40:24Speaker 03

  We'll do that next week.

• 40:25Speaker 02

  Fine.

• 40:26Speaker 03

  This is from Stacy. Hi, Sexton gang. My mum had a tradesman in to do some work around the house and politely offered him a drink. This somehow came up in conversation with my brother who's an electrician and he laughed saying that offering tradesmen a drink is basically offering yourself up for a quickie.

• 40:40Speaker 02

  What? You're fucking news to me.

• 40:43Speaker 03

  Now I think he's speaking shit, or maybe he's watched too much eighties bored housewife porn, but what are your thoughts? Is this a real issue? What is the etiquette for serving a beverage? You mean drink to tradespeople without making them think I'm asking for extras. Stacy.

• 40:56Speaker 02

  Right, well, her brother is a tradesman.

• 40:59Speaker 03

  Well, Stacy's mum has got it going on.

• 41:01Speaker 02

  Very good.

• 41:01Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 41:03Speaker 02

  But that can't be true because that's the first thing you do.

• 41:05Speaker 03

  No, that, I'm, I'm sorry, that is not.

• 41:07Speaker 02

  That can't be true.

• 41:08Speaker 03

  That's not a thing.

• 41:09Speaker 02

  Is that a thing?

• 41:10Speaker 03

  No.

• 41:10Speaker 02

  Is that like in prison? If you wear your bandana in your right pocket, you want to get bombed or something? Yeah? And then if you wear it in your left pocket, it means you want to.

• 41:18Speaker 03

  Who's got a bandana in prison?

• 41:19Speaker 02

  Well, it's just that thing I remember once.

• 41:21Speaker 03

  What a camp prison.

• 41:22Speaker 02

  I remember that one. It is, isn't it? Like, there's a little sign.

• 41:26Speaker 03

  There used to be a thing with earrings back in the day before it was made acceptable to, or made legal to be gay. If you had a, your.

• 41:34Speaker 02

  Is that true?

• 41:34Speaker 03

  I think it was back, it was a code. It was, it was like Polari. It was a sign and code to let other people know that you were gay. I think if it was your left ear, so if I had this one pierced, it would be a sign that, you know.

• 41:47Speaker 02

  Well, anyway.

• 41:47Speaker 03

  Maybe I should look into this for an etiquette homology.

• 41:49Speaker 02

  But I don't think so because I always offer tradesmen tea and coffee. And I'm wagon wheels.

• 41:58Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 41:58Speaker 02

  At the moment.

• 41:59Speaker 03

  Hello, do you fancy a chocolate finger?

• 42:01Speaker 02

  I, I, at the moment, it's more soft drinks. I had a couple in recently. It's something shed out. But that would just Coke Zero as a gun.

• 42:09Speaker 03

  Hmm. I, I do not think it's a thing.

• 42:11Speaker 02

  And a club.

• 42:12Speaker 03

  Hmm. I mean, if you're standing there sort of naked, offering them something, then.

• 42:16Speaker 02

  Gooey.

• 42:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:17Speaker 02

  I'll get you a drink or maybe something else you'd like. Someone's watching too much porn.

• 42:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, I would, I would say that your, your brother is, is completely wrong there.

• 42:26Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 42:26Speaker 03

  This is from Jayden. Dear William Jordan and the rest of the.

• 42:29Speaker 02

  If they're bent over, where they're arse showing, where they're red in the.

• 42:32Speaker 03

  Head in the.

• 42:33Speaker 02

  Sink.

• 42:34Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 42:34Speaker 02

  Or in the washing machine. And probably offering it.

• 42:38Speaker 03

  This is from Jayden. Dear William Jordan and the rest of the Sexton team, all rude mechanicals for Shakespeare fans. Oh, very good. Midsummer Night's Dream reference.

• 42:46Speaker 02

  So how, what, is that what Shakespeare called his fans like Gene Devers?

• 42:51Speaker 03

  No, I think, no, he's calling this lot the rude mechanicals.

• 42:54Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 42:55Speaker 03

  Anyway, it was the. No, I won't explain it. The, the group of the people that went into the forest that then fell asleep and there was a character in Shakespeare called Bottom. Uh, Bottom was one of the rude mechanicals. He became, he was then, Oberon and Titania made him into a donkey. I believe I've got that wrong. Puck.

• 43:14Speaker 02

  I've told you before, I, I did have my some men for GCSE.

• 43:18Speaker 03

  Steinbeck's quite good.

• 43:19Speaker 02

  But I didn't do much. Don't be patronising.

• 43:21Speaker 03

  What?

• 43:22Speaker 02

  So we didn't do much Shakespeare.

• 43:23Speaker 03

  Right. Did you not do any Shakespeare? I thought it's on the curriculum.

• 43:27Speaker 02

  I did Macbeth, but for GCSE, pretty sure. I was only in like set three or so.

• 43:32Speaker 03

  Talking of the Scottish play, I accidentally said muck, duh, duh, duh backstage at Titan Eight one, one day. I thought that they were all going to kill me.

• 43:39Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 43:40Speaker 03

  I know. I didn't realise it was actually a thing.

• 43:42Speaker 02

  Don't you have to go outside then?

• 43:43Speaker 03

  Hmm. Well, you can't do that.

• 43:44Speaker 02

  What'd you do?

• 43:45Speaker 03

  The criterion. I've got some very stern looks.

• 43:47Speaker 02

  What did you do then?

• 43:49Speaker 03

  I just went, sorry.

• 43:50Speaker 02

  No, don't you have to go outside and like throw salt over your shoulder or something?

• 43:54Speaker 03

  But I can't do, you can't do that mid show.

• 43:57Speaker 02

  What? You said it on stage?

• 43:58Speaker 03

  No, I said it in the wings.

• 44:01Speaker 03

  Cause we, anyway, long story as to why we always play games backstage. There's a whiteboard and blah, blah, blah. And I was like, oh, da, da, da, da. And they went.

• 44:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, you don't mention the Scottish play. Anyway.

• 44:12Speaker 03

  Anyway, back to Jayden's letter. I'm 13 years old and quite often wear a tie. But being 13 and therefore slightly shorter than an adult, I can never get the tie the right length. So my question is, do I have my tie hanging just below my belt to keep it even? Or have it perfectly above the best, but tuck the thin part into my shirt? Thanks for such a great podcast, Jayden, a loyal Gene Dever and bucket head. I would say.

• 44:35Speaker 02

  Jayden, bless you. I think, are you old enough to listen to the podcast at 13?

• 44:38Speaker 03

  Probably not.

• 44:39Speaker 02

  But I mean, I used to watch and listen all sorts when I was little, but.

• 44:42Speaker 03

  Made you the man you are.

• 44:43Speaker 02

  It did. What a lovely, lovely letter and it's a great one.

• 44:45Speaker 03

  I would, yeah, you would, regardless of your height or the length of tie, you, the tie should stop where the trousers start. Obviously where the trousers start depends on whether you're, they're cut for braces or if they're cut for a belt, et cetera. You don't want it sort of Donald Trump-esque hanging in front of your crotch. You don't want it like a sort of a, an inbetweener, as a reference. Halfway across your chest. You do want it to stop where your trousers start. So if the, the sort of the back of the tie, as it were, is too long, I would tuck it into your shirt.

• 45:11Speaker 02

  Could you snip your tie?

• 45:12Speaker 03

  Oh, no.

• 45:13Speaker 02

  No?

• 45:14Speaker 03

  I mean, if it was a cheap tie and you didn't care about it, but I probably wouldn't.

• 45:17Speaker 02

  I disagree. So it's very fashionable at the moment to have like ties. It's very Harry Styles, Jacob Lordy. Ties.

• 45:24Speaker 03

  It's incorrect.

• 45:25Speaker 02

  Tucked in with a shirt, ties with jeans.

• 45:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, but okay, Jayden's probably not wearing a tie with jeans.

• 45:31Speaker 02

  I'm just saying it's quite fashionable to have a long tie at the moment.

• 45:34Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 45:34Speaker 02

  I did recently and it looked pretty cool.

• 45:36Speaker 03

  For what?

• 45:37Speaker 02

  A wedding. Just thought I'm gonna let that flop out a bit.

• 45:42Speaker 02

  And I did.

• 45:43Speaker 03

  Right. Well, Jayden, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go out on a hunch and say you're probably more like me than Jordan. I would tuck the long part of the tie. And Jamie, if it makes you feel any better, I went to a wedding yesterday. Yes, I know, midweek wedding, lovely. And I would, I, my tie was too long and I tucked it in behind my shirt. Cause I couldn't really be bothered to retire.

• 46:04Speaker 02

  Did I tell you my shout wipes came to the rescue at that wedding? The bride got red wine spilled over.

• 46:10Speaker 03

  Did she?

• 46:11Speaker 02

  And honestly, the amount of people that have come up to me since.

• 46:16Speaker 02

  Two, but like, because everyone was like, they were all there with those.

• 46:18Speaker 03

  I was from one of your cupboards trying to find a wine glass, uh, at the party and there was a box of shout, well, not just a box, numerous boxes of shout wipes.

• 46:26Speaker 02

  Everywhere. It spilled. I've even used one this morning. I had two in my pocket and everyone was using those Tippex pens. And then I got the shout wipes. God, I can't recommend them.

• 46:36Speaker 03

  They are very good.

• 46:37Speaker 02

  They're that good. They got red wine out of a wedding dress.

• 46:41Speaker 03

  Good.

• 46:42Speaker 02

  And they're not paying me. They're not.

• 46:43Speaker 03

  Our final dilemma is from Josh. Bonjour, William and Jordan. Big fan of your show. I have an etiquette dilemma when it comes to handshakes. I've been brought up to believe that a firm, strong handshake is appropriate, especially if it's with the father-in-law. What do you do if the recipient's handshake in return feels like he's holding a gentle flower with no grip, no squeeze, just a gentle touch? Writing about this gives me the heebie-jeebies, or, as I think you'd refer to it, an ick. What do I do? Four exclamation marks. Love to hear your thoughts on handshake etiquette. Cheers, boys.

• 47:10Speaker 02

  We've talked a lot about handshakes in the past. I'm a firm believer in a good grip on a handshake.

• 47:15Speaker 03

  Yes. Now, Jordan and I are actually breaking two etiquette for a part here.

• 47:18Speaker 02

  You're not meant to do it over a table.

• 47:20Speaker 03

  Or sitting down.

• 47:20Speaker 02

  Or sitting down, which I, again, I have learnt that. I would never.

• 47:26Speaker 03

  No, but we're doing it for demonstration purposes.

• 47:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. I always got told, I don't know, like, no offence, and I don't know if it's, I always got told that Catholics have weak handshakes. I know, and it's probably.

• 47:38Speaker 03

  Wow, okay.

• 47:39Speaker 02

  I'm pretty sure it's come from my late grandma.

• 47:42Speaker 03

  Do you know what? I'm still waiting to hear back, but I'll write an addendum to follow up. I'll ask his holiness.

• 47:47Speaker 02

  His holiness. I always heard, or is it, is it off a Peter Kay sketch?

• 47:51Speaker 03

  Right.

• 47:51Speaker 02

  There's something there where I shake my hand, Catholics have weak handshakes. I don't know if it's like a slur on the Catholic community. I'm really sorry if it is, and if it's something to do with anything bad, but I always got told. So, growing up, when I, even now, when I shake someone's hand, I'll go, are you Catholic? I won't ask them, but I'll think it. So, if, if someone shakes your hand in the weak, Josh, they might be Catholic.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  I'm just saying nothing. You are.

• 48:21Speaker 02

  If we have any Catholicisms, Catholics in the studio here, again, I am not, I, I, you know me, and I don't, are you Catholic, is he? I didn't, I didn't, I'm not.

• 48:31Speaker 03

  Is she Catholic?

• 48:38Speaker 03

  If she is, she's lapsed.

• 48:43Speaker 02

  For the record, she's our friend. She's laughing. She's laughing. Okay.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  She can decide if that gets cut.

• 48:51Speaker 02

  But yeah, but no, I always believe a firm handshake. And if someone has a weak handshake, don't judge them. Could be their religion.

• 49:00Speaker 03

  Right.

• 49:00Speaker 02

  Your, your thoughts?

• 49:01Speaker 03

  My thoughts. Funnily enough, they're slightly different.

• 49:04Speaker 02

  I'm really sorry if that's a slur, by the way. I didn't mean it like that if you're Catholic.

• 49:09Speaker 03

  You want a firm but not too firm handshake, because you don't want to be overly aggressive. The analogy I would give in my etiquette classes is imagine you're going into the fruit bowl in the summer to pick out a peach or a nectarine. Okay? Do you, do you eat peaches and nectarines? Soft stone fruit?

• 49:25Speaker 02

  Is this the analogy you do?

• 49:26Speaker 03

  Listen, I haven't finished it yet. You go and you give, you give your nectarine a bit of a squeeze to see if it is ripe enough to eat. If you squeeze it too hard and it's very ripe, you're going to mess up the fruit. If you don't squeeze it hard enough, you don't know if it's ripe enough.

• 49:40Speaker 02

  Could this be used if you were tossing someone off as well?

• 49:44Speaker 03

  Well, no, because some people like a firm grip.

• 49:45Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 49:47Speaker 03

  And like all that. So, you give it a firm but not too firm grip. That is how strong the handshake should be. And you should make sure that your thumb and index finger are pointing sort of diagonally towards the floor, so that you actually make sure that the web in between your thumb and your index finger, which is technically called your pearleque, actually grip one another. So not grab the fingers to actually grip the hand itself. So point your fingers diagonally towards the floor to ensure that you do actually shake hands and give a firm shake whilst maintaining eye contact.

• 50:15Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 50:16Speaker 03

  If you meet someone that has a limp handshake, there isn't an awful lot you can do. You can't tell them it's a limp handshake. You've just got to get along with it.

• 50:24Speaker 02

  I'm going to do that because I still prefer pop handshake to the bro shake.

• 50:27Speaker 03

  Oh, I can't stand the bro shake.

• 50:29Speaker 02

  Have you ever done a bro shake if someone?

• 50:30Speaker 03

  Yes, people do it to me and I'm like, what are you doing? What midlife crisis are you having?

• 50:34Speaker 02

  They do it in 40 now with a ref. When they go past the ref, when you shut the ref's hand, they go like that.

• 50:39Speaker 03

  No, it's, and it's when, it's people that are like 40 years old doing it. And you're like, that is so tragic.

• 50:44Speaker 02

  I've seen my dad do it, actually. He's got two mentions, Gray Bow today. Seen him do it in pub. I'm like, that's not you.

• 50:51Speaker 02

  Gray Bow doing bro shake.

• 50:52Speaker 03

  It's a bit limp. We think you've just come from mass.
