Help I Can’t Say I Love You | And Steamy Expectations

William is flabbergasted when he finds out that his best friend and co-host has never said "I love you" to ANY of his brothers. Meanwhile, Jordan is shocked by the increase in attention he's been getting at the gym since his Soccer Aid debut. The boys also solve your dilemmas on escalator etiquette, how to cope when your friends are still hanging out with your ex, and how to manage things getting 'steamy' after time away from your partner.

Plus, the scariest movies to watch this spooky season with the lights off. So, as the nights draw in, the pumpkins are carved and somewhere in the dark, something is scratching at the window. It's probably just the cat, right? Get the candles lit and search for Pretty Scary with Claire Buckley.

• 0:40Speaker 01

  Just come back from this morning.

• 0:42Speaker 02

  Have you?

• 0:42Speaker 01

  Yeah. Suzie from Makeup says hello.

• 0:44Speaker 02

  Oh, hello Suzie.

• 0:46Speaker 01

  She says you're her favourite.

• 0:47Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 0:48Speaker 01

  She's done me eyelashes, what do you think, Claire?

• 0:50Speaker 02

  Lovely, cause she's like looking at a camel.

• 0:53Speaker 01

  Also, because we were talking about you so much, she's put a load of dry shampoo in my hair. And I look like I've gone a bit grey. She went, "Oh!" Because we're talking about William, I usually give him a dry shampoo, so...

• 1:05Speaker 02

  That looks nice. It's got a lovely body to it.

• 1:08Speaker 01

  But she says hello.

• 1:10Speaker 02

  Oh, hello. Hello to Suzie.

• 1:11Speaker 01

  Hello. Are we ready?

• 1:13Speaker 02

  I'm ready, yes.

• 1:14Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:14Speaker 02

  Been ready for a while.

• 1:16Speaker 01

  No, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Before we start, I was here 25 seconds before we were due to start recording.

• 1:25Speaker 02

  Well, 25 seconds before you thought we were due to start recording.

• 1:27Speaker 01

  No, 12:45 was today's start time.

• 1:30Speaker 02

  12:30.

• 1:30Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no. I'll go through it. I'll go through it. If we're gonna start the episode from this.

• 1:35Speaker 02

  I just wanna say, I don't mind.

• 1:37Speaker 01

  You're being facetious.

• 1:38Speaker 02

  I'm not being facetious.

• 1:39Speaker 01

  Sexton Group, update for this week from Jack, arrival 12:30, 12:45.

• 1:45Speaker 02

  What time did you arrive?

• 1:45Speaker 01

  Episode 47, right? I arrived at 12:44 and camera ready, so I jumped straight in. So technically, I wasn't late.

• 1:53Speaker 03

  It's now 12:51.

• 1:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's now 12:51 because you're faffing with lights and mics and stuff. So, don't blame me.

• 2:07Speaker 01

  Hello and welcome to Help I Sextered My Boss, the podcast where we help you navigate the challenges of modern life, answering your 21st century questions and finding solutions to those everyday dilemmas. Like, what should you do when you discover your partner's secret stash of Viagra? Or, why can't I say Peter Shamichael properly? And what should you do if you've accidentally sexted your boss? But we're not usual hairy fairies, are we, William Hanson?

• 2:32Speaker 02

  No, we're not, Jordan North. I'm more all aboard the Titanic, you're more Andy's coming, drop and panic! Oh, oh, look at that!

• 2:42Speaker 01

  You can't, now I'm officially-

• 2:43Speaker 02

  I've never seen you go floppy so quickly.

• 2:45Speaker 01

  Now I'm officially Toy Story, you can't say, "Shh, Andy's coming", because I have to literally drop to the floor, it's in my contract.

• 2:51Speaker 02

  Oh, is it?

• 2:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, try it.

• 2:53Speaker 02

  Andy's coming! What do I do to get you up again?

• 2:57Speaker 01

  Andy's gone.

• 2:58Speaker 02

  Andy's gone.

• 2:59Speaker 01

  It's fine.

• 3:00Speaker 02

  Can I do that at random points throughout the-

• 3:02Speaker 01

  Throughout the rest of my life now.

• 3:03Speaker 02

  Throughout the rest of your life? So if Toy Story 6 comes out, can I then, is that when the contract finishes?

• 3:09Speaker 01

  No, it's forever.

• 3:10Speaker 02

  Oh, wow.

• 3:11Speaker 01

  I'm a toy, so it's just in me. Say it's Tom Hanks, you say, "Andy's coming", and he goes-

• 3:16Speaker 02

  Does he? Right, must be great at parties.

• 3:19Speaker 01

  We go fluffy.

• 3:19Speaker 02

  And that was, by the way, that was from Josh, so thank you, Josh.

• 3:22Speaker 03

  Hi, guys.

• 3:23Speaker 02

  Hello, Ben.

• 3:23Speaker 03

  Did you see the whole Toy Story film? Have you seen it all?

• 3:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:26Speaker 03

  You liked it, yeah?

• 3:27Speaker 02

  Have you seen the whole film?

• 3:28Speaker 01

  Yes, I'm gonna watch it again this Sunday at the time of recording.

• 3:31Speaker 02

  I thought you were only showing 45 minutes of it.

• 3:33Speaker 01

  No, no, I went to the full screening.

• 3:35Speaker 02

  Oh, fine.

• 3:35Speaker 01

  As with JB Gill, from JLS.

• 3:38Speaker 02

  I thought he died. Oh, it's AA Gill.

• 3:40Speaker 01

  Who's AA Gill?

• 3:41Speaker 02

  It was a restaurant critic. Who's JB Gill?

• 3:45Speaker 01

  Lovely JB from JLS.

• 3:49Speaker 02

  Oh, Every Minute's Like An Hour, or whatever they say.

• 3:51Speaker 01

  Every hour's like a day.

• 3:52Speaker 02

  Oh, that's the one. Gone for the same school of timekeeping as you. Right, we'll have our gin and devonae. I'm just going to pour it now. It's lovely in this new studio because we've actually got an ice bucket with ice and a proper measure.

• 4:04Speaker 01

  It's, this new studio's lovely. Haters gonna hate, and I, I absolute, that's not a proper measure, is it?

• 4:10Speaker 02

  That's two!

• 4:11Speaker 01

  Looks like a small one.

• 4:13Speaker 02

  Well, you don't drink it anyway, love, so you shut up.

• 4:15Speaker 01

  Just do a European measure, just throw it in.

• 4:18Speaker 02

  All right, I'll do four.

• 4:19Speaker 01

  No, oh!

• 4:21Speaker 02

  I can't win.

• 4:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, not for, not your mother.

• 4:26Speaker 02

  How rude. Uh, okay. And now I'll do the gin.

• 4:29Speaker 01

  And are you keeping well?

• 4:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, oh, good. Yeah. That's a nice jacket you're wearing. It's such a, it's like a, it's a hint of blue in there, but it's, it's grey, blue.

• 4:37Speaker 01

  I've got my TV jacket and my TV trainers on.

• 4:39Speaker 02

  Your TV trainers.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  So there's only clothes I wear for, for the telly.

• 4:44Speaker 02

  And that's why they're in good condition.

• 4:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's why it's in very good condition. Oh, you shit. I thought that was, that could have been one of those moments where you got something in and then only someone in the comments had noticed it, not that read the comments.

• 4:57Speaker 02

  No, you don't.

• 4:58Speaker 01

  It's really just in good condition.

• 5:00Speaker 02

  Now, look, can I just, I'm full, absolute full disclosure here, everybody. I am not everywhere, I'm not going to go on about this every week. This will be the last week we mention it until I come out of the show.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  No.

• 5:10Speaker 02

  No, no, no, because, you know, we've all got, you know, shut up. But I would like to toast the cast and crew of Titanic, who have been lovely. We have now opened in the West End. And thank you to all those who came.

• 5:21Speaker 01

  How was your first opening in the West End?

• 5:23Speaker 02

  Yes, do you know, it's not, I don't normally open in the West End, but I mixed it up and we opened and it was, it was very good. We'll talk more about it in a minute. But to the Titanic cast and crew, thank you for making me feel so welcome from the bottom of the ocean.

• 5:39Speaker 02

  Oh, that is quite strong.

• 5:42Speaker 02

  That's also what I need.

• 5:44Speaker 01

  How are you? How is your first week going on the West End?

• 5:48Speaker 02

  Yes, uh, it's going very well. Thank you. Uh, it's nice that we've actually now sort of done it and we've done it a couple of times at time of recording. Uh, I'm looking forward to when it becomes sort of just routine.

• 5:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 5:59Speaker 02

  Cause like, you know, yesterday we had to go in for a sort of working notes after the first night. So you're still sort of working the afternoon. I mean, the working notes went on longer than the actual show.

• 6:09Speaker 01

  You're not great with critique, are you?

• 6:11Speaker 02

  Criticism.

• 6:12Speaker 01

  Criticism.

• 6:13Speaker 02

  I'm fine, actually. I mean, the one, the, the one note that I kept getting before we opened is, uh, when I'm miming, could I not mime to Celine's track? I need to mime to the backing artist's track. Cause Celine, when she's singing solo and I'm singing, it's like, no, it's only Celine's voice coming out, uh, which I thought was hilarious. Um, that they didn't find it very funny. Um, so that's good. And I have become, I'm channeling the wonderful Nigel Havers in, uh, the Palladium Panto. And I have ordered, it's arriving later on today. When I go into the Theatre Art Collective, I've ordered, uh, some martini glasses and a cocktail shaker and all the potato

• 6:54Speaker 02

  peelers and things. So I can have martini in my dressing room rather than going out for one before the show, which is what I've been doing for the last couple of days. And I decided that's going to become quite expensive quite quickly. So I will just have one in my dressing room.

• 7:06Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 7:07Speaker 02

  Invite any of the cast and crew and they can have one too.

• 7:09Speaker 01

  Do you know what? I think this could be your calling next. Panto. Would you do panto?

• 7:15Speaker 02

  I know I wouldn't.

• 7:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, Palladium Panto, you'd say yes to.

• 7:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think we're way off that, darling. But yes.

• 7:22Speaker 01

  I think you'd be good in panto.

• 7:23Speaker 02

  Well, who knows?

• 7:24Speaker 03

  Which, which sort of provincial town do you think would take William?

• 7:27Speaker 02

  Hello, Sunderland.

• 7:29Speaker 01

  Coventry?

• 7:30Speaker 02

  Yes, I could be sent to Coventry.

• 7:32Speaker 01

  Watford?

• 7:33Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 7:33Speaker 03

  Maybe people should write in and suggest their.

• 7:36Speaker 02

  Yes, I did try to get Aladdin in Milton Keynes, but it's an old joke.

• 7:42Speaker 01

  On a scale of one to 10, how nervous were you for the opening? Is it the most nervous you've ever been? Is it the most you've ever been?

• 7:48Speaker 02

  Like, we did Wembley Arena and all those arenas earlier this year. Absolute walk in the park. Because you and I can just make it up as we go along. You can't on a West End show.

• 7:57Speaker 01

  Yeah. My biggest fear, I can never remember lines and words.

• 8:00Speaker 02

  No. Yeah. And we have flipping comfort monitors on our feet.

• 8:04Speaker 01

  I don't give it away.

• 8:05Speaker 02

  I mean, you can bloody see them, Jordan.

• 8:06Speaker 01

  They were just little notes on there.

• 8:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, they were, but prompts in case we forget what's coming next. But you've got nothing, none of that on the West End.

• 8:14Speaker 01

  Uh, did, did you get my flowers?

• 8:15Speaker 02

  I did get your flowers. Thank you very much. They were so lovely.

• 8:19Speaker 01

  Yeah. Cause I thought that's, that's the. Thing to do with thespians, isn't it? Send them flowers after the first show. And did you see what it said on the front?

• 8:27Speaker 02

  Uh, no, actually, because Mikey took them in.

• 8:28Speaker 01

  Oh, they were addressed to Dame William Hanson. Because I honestly think when you get your knighthood.

• 8:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:35Speaker 01

  I think you ask for it to be a dame. I think Dame William Hanson.

• 8:38Speaker 02

  It's very now.

• 8:39Speaker 01

  Is so much better than Sir William. I put on it Dame William Hanson.

• 8:42Speaker 02

  Oh, no, Mike, I'm sorry. He sent me a picture. He sent me a picture of the neck.

• 8:45Speaker 01

  Sorry, George, didn't see it. We had so many flowers. It's all been about him this week, so.

• 8:50Speaker 02

  She walked into my dressing room, it was like I died.

• 8:52Speaker 01

  Oh, really?

• 8:53Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 8:53Speaker 01

  Who sent you them?

• 8:54Speaker 02

  Lots, lots of people. But yours, yours were obviously the nicest flowers.

• 8:57Speaker 01

  Did Sassy Glen send you some flowers?

• 8:59Speaker 02

  Yes, that's our agent.

• 9:01Speaker 01

  That's our agent, yeah.

• 9:02Speaker 02

  Um, yeah. So, no, they were, they were, they were lovely. So it's all gone very well. Uh, and I'm looking forward to my martini pre-show later.

• 9:08Speaker 01

  Okay. This is great. Are you happy? Are you enjoying it?

• 9:11Speaker 02

  Yes, I am happy. And, and look, if you've come to see the show or you've already booked, thank you very much. It's been lovely to meet some gin divas at Stage Door as well. So it has all been.

• 9:18Speaker 01

  Stage Door.

• 9:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:20Speaker 01

  Oh, signing autographs.

• 9:22Speaker 02

  Yes, breasts.

• 9:24Speaker 01

  Have you been signing boobs?

• 9:25Speaker 02

  No, I mean, have you seen the audience who comes to the show?

• 9:28Speaker 01

  Stage Door.

• 9:29Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 9:30Speaker 01

  Before we move on.

• 9:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:31Speaker 01

  Because we would like to.

• 9:32Speaker 02

  Andy's coming.

• 9:34Speaker 02

  Just wanted to test that. Jordan's gone floppy again. I haven't said it, but we could just take this minute just to, uh,

• 9:42Speaker 02

  just talk about whatever I want to talk about. Andy's gone.

• 9:45Speaker 01

  Um, how the reviews.

• 9:47Speaker 02

  Andy's coming.

• 9:50Speaker 02

  Andy's gone. He forgot something. He came back.

• 9:53Speaker 01

  And, oh, thanks. Sorry, Andy. Look.

• 9:56Speaker 02

  Isn't Andy like 52?

• 9:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, but it's ridiculous. Look what I've got on the bottom. Every pair of shoes.

• 10:01Speaker 02

  Don't say you do.

• 10:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, I do. You've got Andy written on the bottom of them. Sub that in. That'll be funny. Sub that in. Photograph. I have to have Andy on the bottom.

• 10:10Speaker 02

  Give me your shoe and a Sharpie and I will generally write Andy.

• 10:12Speaker 01

  Every pair of shoe, I've got to have Andy at the bottom of them. How have the reviews been for Titanic?

• 10:18Speaker 02

  Yes, I think they've.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  Toy Story 5, they've been great. So.

• 10:21Speaker 02

  They have. They've been some really good reviews. And how many of those have mentioned your part?

• 10:24Speaker 01

  They said the garden gnome really made this film.

• 10:30Speaker 02

  Is that one of your lines?

• 10:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, to do sipping noises.

• 10:33Speaker 02

  That's nick, isn't it?

• 10:34Speaker 01

  So, we do actually have a review that's coming. Do you want to hear it?

• 10:38Speaker 02

  Yes, go on, I suspect.

• 10:39Speaker 01

  Here's a review. Have a listen.

• 10:42Speaker 04

  Absolutely adored William's opening the other night and seeing him perform on stage with a bunch of queens. It's nothing like the Sexton tour whatsoever, but he did so, so well. I'm so proud of him. The audience, I think they've all been to a bottomless brunch, but they seem to enjoy it. Wow, just slightly fabulous. And I'm looking forward to going to the other 48 shows.

• 11:01Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 11:02Speaker 01

  That is William's protege, viral Freddie.

• 11:05Speaker 02

  You pronounce the word protege, I believe.

• 11:07Speaker 01

  Protege, don't be.

• 11:08Speaker 02

  No, it's.

• 11:09Speaker 01

  Shemichael, protege.

• 11:11Speaker 02

  It's protege.

• 11:12Speaker 01

  It's protege, it's French.

• 11:14Speaker 02

  Protege. I'm a firestarter.

• 11:16Speaker 03

  I think it's protege.

• 11:18Speaker 02

  Protege.

• 11:18Speaker 03

  I think it's, they're two different words that are often confused.

• 11:21Speaker 02

  You've put the D in and it should be a T.

• 11:23Speaker 01

  He's your protege and he's like a mini version of you.

• 11:27Speaker 02

  He is, yes.

• 11:28Speaker 01

  Is he actually going to every show?

• 11:29Speaker 02

  No. Well, he didn't come last night.

• 11:31Speaker 01

  I bet he will.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Well, some people on your stories were saying they'd been 22 times, like more times than you'd even seen Mary Poppins for Titanic.

• 11:39Speaker 02

  Well, no, because I've seen Mary Poppins 45 times.

• 11:42Speaker 01

  Fuck.

• 11:44Speaker 02

  All right.

• 11:45Speaker 03

  I didn't realise it had got that large.

• 11:50Speaker 02

  Yes. Well, thank you, thank you Freddie for that. Yes, Mikey loved it, Freddie loved it, Stu came as well. He loved it so much, he hasn't turned up today, so he doesn't have to talk about it.

• 11:59Speaker 01

  He sent a voice note as well.

• 12:01Speaker 02

  Has he?

• 12:01Speaker 01

  Whose coat is that jacket? Oh, I tell you what, there's two houses on the hill. And I, and there is no bread, so I'll have some toast. And I said, William was fantastic. He really stole the show he did. He was absolutely lush, he was. I thought he was brilliant. I'll tell you what it is, I'll go again and see him. Thanks, Stu.

• 12:18Speaker 02

  And there is a moment, because you haven't seen it yet, let me know when you've booked. But, no, no, because you do need to let me know when you've booked, so I can, you know, we can do stuff around it. Well, no, no, like, we can go out for drinks or dinner afterwards or whatever.

• 12:30Speaker 01

  It's what, midnight? I'll come at the weekend.

• 12:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly. I'm assuming you're gonna come on a Friday or a Saturday.

• 12:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, I might come to a matinee. Have I said that right?

• 12:38Speaker 02

  Matinee, yeah.

• 12:39Speaker 01

  Matinee, I might come to a matinee.

• 12:40Speaker 02

  Come to an evening show.

• 12:42Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 12:43Speaker 02

  And come to my dressing room and you can have a martini.

• 12:45Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 12:45Speaker 02

  Yes, but there is a bit in it that I wanted to do on tour that was banned by you and Stu, potentially banned.

• 12:55Speaker 01

  Don't say it like that. We're not always saying like, was it the Beauty and the Beast bit?

• 13:00Speaker 02

  No comment. Come to the show.

• 13:01Speaker 01

  Oh, okay. Do I still get a mention in it?

• 13:04Speaker 02

  Currently, until that gets cut. Not by me. You get notes. I mean, I had notes after my first day going, you know, this needs to, I was, my monologue was two minutes too long, apparently. So I had to, I had to trim that to by two minutes last night.

• 13:17Speaker 01

  Oh, God. Two minutes too long.

• 13:19Speaker 03

  How long is it supposed to be? That's a chunky amount of time over. That sounds like bad planning.

• 13:24Speaker 02

  They said, William, it's a two act show, not a three act show, so we had to, we had to trim.

• 13:29Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 13:30Speaker 02

  Anyway.

• 13:30Speaker 03

  Did Mikey leave a review on Voice Note?

• 13:32Speaker 02

  Yes, has Mikey left a review?

• 13:33Speaker 01

  They were absolutely gorgeous and I was just so proud of my little flower pot, tears streaming down my eyes.

• 13:40Speaker 02

  He, no.

• 13:41Speaker 01

  Gorgeous seeing him up there on stage wearing the longs. He was honestly jacked. I said to the lads on the building site, he'll have to come, and they said, fuck off, Mikey, no chance, but he was good.

• 13:50Speaker 02

  No, I looked across and Mikey and Stu were sitting next to each other and during the curtain call of night one, I look across and oh, honestly, that gorgeous old queen was streaming with tears. Mikey was crying as well and, sorry, Stu. And I couldn't, I then couldn't look at Mikey because I was, I'm gonna cry. So it was very emotional.

• 14:08Speaker 01

  I thought we were allowed to come to your first show.

• 14:10Speaker 02

  Well, my husband is, yes.

• 14:12Speaker 01

  I wouldn't want anyone there.

• 14:14Speaker 02

  Well, a few people came, but it's fine. But you were, also it's Tuesday night, you'd be in bed.

• 14:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:19Speaker 02

  Tucked up in bed. Anyway, continuing the Butch theme.

• 14:23Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 14:24Speaker 02

  Let's talk about the big event of the summer.

• 14:28Speaker 02

  The World Cup.

• 14:29Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 14:30Speaker 02

  Are you excited?

• 14:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:31Speaker 02

  World Cup, which is happening this year in.

• 14:34Speaker 01

  Mexico.

• 14:34Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 14:35Speaker 01

  And.

• 14:35Speaker 02

  It's on the tip of my tongue.

• 14:36Speaker 01

  America, USA, USA and.

• 14:39Speaker 03

  Canada.

• 14:40Speaker 01

  Canada.

• 14:41Speaker 02

  They're spreading it about. Okay. What are your predictions?

• 14:45Speaker 01

  Well, at the time of recording, uh, England haven't played yet.

• 14:49Speaker 02

  Oh, when do we play?

• 14:50Speaker 01

  We'll play tomorrow.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  Tomorrow.

• 14:51Speaker 01

  Tomorrow.

• 14:52Speaker 02

  Okay. To be fair, Group L is looking pretty easy for us.

• 14:55Speaker 01

  You think?

• 14:56Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 14:56Speaker 01

  Okay, got Ghana.

• 14:57Speaker 02

  L's not going to stand for loser.

• 14:59Speaker 01

  Good. Um, I think, I don't know. I, I, I, I'm, it going into every Euro and World Cup, I'm always like, ah, I never know. And then soon as you start playing and winning games, you get caught up in it. It's like, it's coming up, it's coming.

• 15:14Speaker 02

  Well, with Saka and Rice, I think it is. To be fair, I had a nice Saka and Rice before the show last night.

• 15:20Speaker 01

  Rice has got a bit of sunburn. Don't claim Rice. He's, he's got sunburnt in the old, um, what?

• 15:28Speaker 02

  You know, when you see a joke and you go, no.

• 15:30Speaker 01

  No, I heard it. I just didn't think it was funny.

• 15:34Speaker 02

  I didn't do the joke.

• 15:34Speaker 01

  Oh, oh, you're about to do it.

• 15:36Speaker 02

  No, I saw a joke and then I thought, no, I can't do it.

• 15:38Speaker 01

  Oh, oh, okay. Um, but he got, he got sunburnt. So he's, um, caught the sun really bad.

• 15:44Speaker 02

  Fried rice.

• 15:45Speaker 01

  Exactly.

• 15:45Speaker 02

  There we go.

• 15:46Speaker 01

  It was fried rice.

• 15:46Speaker 02

  That's a more appropriate joke.

• 15:47Speaker 01

  Fried rice was fine.

• 15:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:49Speaker 01

  Um, but I think we'll be all right. I, I have said to the capital crew, I was like, when I first started in 24, in the year I was in, I, I didn't really go out to watch any England games. I watched them at home. But I said, I'm, I'm going big.

• 16:01Speaker 02

  You're going to go out to America?

• 16:02Speaker 01

  No, out and watch it in the pub and stuff. Cause that's where you soak up the atmosphere. Ben, I wouldn't mind watching a game with you if you're free, pal. So.

• 16:09Speaker 02

  Thanks. Do you, my prediction is that Croatia might be tricky, but we should get the nine points.

• 16:15Speaker 01

  Do you think?

• 16:15Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 16:16Speaker 01

  Ghana.

• 16:17Speaker 03

  The late games as well.

• 16:18Speaker 02

  They are.

• 16:19Speaker 01

  Nine, 10.

• 16:20Speaker 02

  I hope they've taken their melatonin and got good rest.

• 16:22Speaker 01

  Scotland are playing at two in the morning, aren't they?

• 16:25Speaker 03

  They are.

• 16:25Speaker 01

  Against Haiti.

• 16:27Speaker 02

  Gosh, okay.

• 16:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:28Speaker 03

  Went to school there.

• 16:29Speaker 02

  It doesn't work, Ben, but don't worry.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  Sorry.

• 16:32Speaker 02

  The only thing I can't get my head around at the moment is who. Between Bellingham and Rogers, who starts?

• 16:39Speaker 01

  For me personally, Bellingham.

• 16:40Speaker 02

  I say Rogers.

• 16:41Speaker 01

  It's an unpopular opinion, this is freaking me out. I don't like.

• 16:45Speaker 02

  I'm, you've taken an interest in my life, I'm taking an interest in yours.

• 16:50Speaker 01

  I don't like this. Like considering you're the only bloke I've ever bought flowers for, and now.

• 16:55Speaker 02

  Not sure that strictly is true.

• 16:56Speaker 01

  That is, I promise you that is true.

• 16:59Speaker 02

  Really?

• 16:59Speaker 01

  Yeah. Who else would you buy flowers for?

• 17:02Speaker 02

  Your dad?

• 17:04Speaker 01

  Buy him for.

• 17:05Speaker 02

  Father's Day coming up.

• 17:07Speaker 01

  I don't buy my dad flowers.

• 17:08Speaker 02

  Oh shit, God, when is Father's Day?

• 17:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, I miss Father's Day.

• 17:11Speaker 02

  I've done the present.

• 17:11Speaker 01

  This Sunday. Is it?

• 17:13Speaker 02

  Is it this Sun- oh, this Sunday coming up, that time of listing.

• 17:16Speaker 01

  Ah, okay, yes. But I, I think Bellingham for me.

• 17:20Speaker 02

  Okay. No, I think Rogers, but well, you know, we'll agree to disagree. And as long as I, look.

• 17:25Speaker 01

  Pickford in the sticks?

• 17:27Speaker 02

  Hmm?

• 17:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's got you, hasn't it?

• 17:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. Harry Kane's got at least four goals in him though in the.

• 17:31Speaker 01

  I reckon Kane will be all right. Pickford in, in goal.

• 17:34Speaker 02

  They did my removals.

• 17:37Speaker 02

  Well, they did.

• 17:38Speaker 01

  Do you think?

• 17:39Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 17:39Speaker 01

  Pickford or Trafford?

• 17:40Speaker 02

  They broke my Hoover.

• 17:41Speaker 01

  Pickford or Trafford, who are you going for?

• 17:43Speaker 02

  Uh, Trafford.

• 17:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, do you think?

• 17:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:48Speaker 02

  No, Trafford's a football ground, isn't it?

• 17:49Speaker 01

  No, James Trafford.

• 17:50Speaker 02

  Oh, yes.

• 17:53Speaker 01

  So I, I'd say him because he played for Burnley, obviously.

• 17:55Speaker 02

  Of course. And Pickford plays for Arsenal?

• 17:58Speaker 01

  No, keep going.

• 17:59Speaker 02

  Liverpool.

• 18:00Speaker 01

  No, close.

• 18:00Speaker 02

  Everton.

• 18:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, oh, that was quite good.

• 18:03Speaker 02

  I knew, I knew, I knew it was a northern team.

• 18:05Speaker 01

  That was quite good.

• 18:05Speaker 02

  Which is why I started with Arsenal.

• 18:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:08Speaker 01

  North London.

• 18:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, basically. I am in two World Cup sweet steaks.

• 18:15Speaker 01

  Oh, I'm in loads at the moment, so what one are you in?

• 18:17Speaker 02

  I thought, well, I'm, I felt a bit bad entering a second. Heard it, as I said it. Well, I'm in one, uh, at a restaurant I go to where I pulled curaçao. I think they're going to do really well.

• 18:28Speaker 01

  I've got them in the capital one.

• 18:30Speaker 02

  Have you?

• 18:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:31Speaker 02

  Oh, we can both.

• 18:32Speaker 01

  I've never heard of it before this.

• 18:33Speaker 02

  I've been there.

• 18:34Speaker 01

  Have you?

• 18:34Speaker 02

  I've been to the airport, yeah, in the Caribbean.

• 18:36Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 18:36Speaker 02

  Nice airport. And the other one is the one at work, Titanique. I haven't been, it hasn't, we haven't drawn yet.

• 18:43Speaker 01

  The cast of Titanique are doing a World Cup.

• 18:46Speaker 02

  I'll be honest, it's mainly the technical staff.

• 18:48Speaker 01

  Ah, okay.

• 18:48Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 18:49Speaker 01

  The blokes.

• 18:49Speaker 02

  Heterosexuals and lesbians, to be honest, but I've, I've put myself in the mix.

• 18:54Speaker 01

  Get you.

• 18:55Speaker 02

  Two pounds entry.

• 18:57Speaker 02

  Don't actually know where that money goes.

• 18:59Speaker 01

  No, the winner.

• 19:00Speaker 02

  Charity.

• 19:00Speaker 01

  It goes to the winner.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  Oh, it goes to the winner.

• 19:02Speaker 01

  But you mean, you don't do a sweepstakes for charity? I mean, great.

• 19:06Speaker 02

  Well, we didn't pay the other day, did we?

• 19:08Speaker 01

  It goes to charity, it goes to the winner or something after. It blows my mind that actually the World Cup's up. And you, you won't watch a single match.

• 19:15Speaker 02

  Absolutely, I'd rather die.

• 19:16Speaker 01

  Even when England are on, you won't watch it?

• 19:17Speaker 02

  Nope, I'll be on stage.

• 19:19Speaker 03

  But what about Rogers?

• 19:20Speaker 02

  Well, poor old Rogers.

• 19:22Speaker 01

  Oh, I need to make sure I don't book Titanique for when England are playing, actually, because I will not be coming.

• 19:27Speaker 02

  I think my brother's done that, actually.

• 19:28Speaker 01

  Oh, has he?

• 19:29Speaker 02

  And he's, he's made a point of saying to me, I am still going to come and watch Titanique. That's how much he loves me.

• 19:33Speaker 01

  Oh, I wouldn't.

• 19:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, that is boring off, James.

• 19:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, I agree. Come on, it's England. Does your brother tell you he loves you?

• 19:41Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 19:42Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 19:44Speaker 02

  Why? Do you find, is that another weird thing we don't do in the North, like put up photos of our family around the house? Izzy, can I just say, you're Northern, do you put up photos of your family around your house? Yeah.

• 19:55Speaker 01

  Maybe it's just my household. And again, it's just sad.

• 19:58Speaker 02

  It's a recurring thing that maybe struggles with affection.

• 20:01Speaker 01

  No, I, see, even saying out loud, I'm probably, I love my three brothers to bits, but I don't think I've ever told them.

• 20:07Speaker 02

  Why don't we phone one of them up now and tell them?

• 20:09Speaker 01

  Do you want me to?

• 20:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:12Speaker 02

  Which one are we gonna pick? It would be fascinating to know which one we're gonna pick. Was whoever picks up quickest. Just, you need to go, name a brother, just what ring you say, I love you, speak to you later, hang up.

• 20:23Speaker 03

  No, we got a, we got a response.

• 20:27Speaker 02

  They all sound the same. Who are we ringing?

• 20:32Speaker 05

  Hello.

• 20:33Speaker 01

  Hiya Brad, it's George, you alright?

• 20:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, how are you?

• 20:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, not so bad. Uh, just ringing to say that, um, I love you.

• 20:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, I love you too. You alright?

• 20:45Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, yeah, I'll, um, I'll ring you back.

• 20:49Speaker 05

  What do you mean? Why are you saying that?

• 20:52Speaker 05

  What do you mean? You're not dying, are you?

• 20:56Speaker 01

  See? No, um, you're on the podcast with William and I just said-

• 21:00Speaker 05

  Alright.

• 21:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, he, he, he tells his, him and his brother tell each other they love each other, but I don't think we've ever-

• 21:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, I know, yeah. Glad I do love you anyway.

• 21:08Speaker 01

  Oh, that's-

• 21:09Speaker 02

  Oh, Brad!

• 21:11Speaker 01

  That's sweet, but, thanks Brad. I love the fact that you thought I was dying.

• 21:16Speaker 05

  Alright, oh yeah. Well, yeah, you can't just say that and say I love you. It's like when you think something's happening. I'm in the middle of a marbella all time having a Cerveza.

• 21:27Speaker 01

  Having a what, huh?

• 21:28Speaker 02

  Beer.

• 21:29Speaker 05

  A Cerveza.

• 21:29Speaker 01

  A Cerveza.

• 21:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, a little bit of lemon in it. It's like a big, that's all going on, it's lovely.

• 21:35Speaker 01

  Alright, alright. Well, oh, yeah, William wants you, hang on.

• 21:40Speaker 02

  Hello Brad, thank you for that.

• 21:42Speaker 05

  No, it's alright.

• 21:43Speaker 02

  I was just trying to say, there's nothing, you can just say, "I love you", that's, that's, you can, it's perfectly normal and healthy to say that to friends, family, etcetera, and I felt you should do that to you and all your brothers.

• 21:53Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah. Oh, that one. Well, has he rang everyone? What can everyone else say?

• 21:58Speaker 02

  Uh, no, no, no, you were the first he, he phoned.

• 22:02Speaker 05

  Alright, oh god, I'm pretty sure it was me the most then.

• 22:04Speaker 02

  Well, that's exactly what I said. Um, look, I don't want to interrupt your Cerveza or your holiday anymore, but have a lovely time and I love you.

• 22:12Speaker 05

  Alright, well, you too, thank you.

• 22:13Speaker 02

  Thank you, bye.

• 22:15Speaker 01

  Bye, bye, see you later.

• 22:19Speaker 02

  Don't message him.

• 22:20Speaker 01

  Well, that was weird!

• 22:21Speaker 02

  It wasn't weird, it's personally normal.

• 22:23Speaker 01

  I feel, I know, right, I know what probably some therapists is like, "Please book in", I feel fucking icky. I've told my brother I love, I've never told any of my brothers I love them, is that weird?

• 22:35Speaker 03

  You just text him, haven't you, saying, "I don't really love you"?

• 22:37Speaker 01

  No, I just said, "Thanks for that", so-

• 22:41Speaker 02

  Well, that's very kind of you.

• 22:42Speaker 01

  Are you dying?

• 22:44Speaker 01

  Bless, there you go.

• 22:45Speaker 02

  When you said, "No, you weren't dying", did you hear the slight disappointment in his voice, that suddenly that will was not coming to fruition? And how's your week been?

• 22:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, all right. If you'd have said to 15 year old me that I would have done Soccer Aid, Toy Story and Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley in a week, I would never have believed it's been probably the best but maddest week of my life. It's been mental.

• 23:09Speaker 02

  It looked amazing, the ball.

• 23:11Speaker 01

  Thank you, yeah.

• 23:12Speaker 02

  As did Soccer Aid and Toy Story.

• 23:13Speaker 01

  Oh, thanks.

• 23:13Speaker 02

  The ball's been the more recent thing.

• 23:15Speaker 01

  I, I, it's been one of those where I had a moment this week. I thought, Jesus. So it was a bit of a pinch me moment, but I'm very, very lucky and very, very grateful. I am. Tell you what, Soccer Aid. Now, I know how footballers feel, actually. Yeah, just play it cool with us. That's all I'm saying.

• 23:33Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 23:33Speaker 01

  The amount of blokes that are like bro shaking me. Do you know the bro shake? You know, the, yeah, I've had cab drivers.

• 23:41Speaker 02

  A normal handshake will do.

• 23:42Speaker 01

  Builders, the lads in the gym. I walked in the gym the other day, turned heads.

• 23:47Speaker 02

  Our gym?

• 23:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:48Speaker 02

  They watch Soccer Aid?

• 23:49Speaker 01

  This is why I asked you to send a voice note to Capital as well.

• 23:52Speaker 02

  What's it to do with television?

• 23:53Speaker 01

  I'd just got out the shower. Oh no, this is a different one. I got out the shower, yeah. And, um, there's the etiquette here. And I seen my mate, he went, yes, George, Soccer Aid. I was like, oh, cheers, bro. He hugged me. He was all sweaty from the sauna.

• 24:07Speaker 02

  Sorry, have you changed gyms?

• 24:08Speaker 01

  No. And then I went into the other, the other guy was there, Adam. And I was like, yes, mate. And he's like, yes, Soccer Aid. And he just really sweated. I had to get back in the shower. Honestly, never had, never had a tension like it. I only played for 20 minutes.

• 24:22Speaker 02

  It's that.

• 24:23Speaker 01

  If, if, all right, we're not counting. How long are you on stage for?

• 24:27Speaker 02

  Two hours. On and off, on and off. I do, I do come off and there's a 15 minute interval, but other than that.

• 24:33Speaker 01

  It's been a great week. It has. It's been a really good week.

• 24:35Speaker 02

  Well, well done you. You should be very proud. What are you doing?

• 24:37Speaker 01

  I've got a bite there on my leg. Do you want me to pop it?

• 24:41Speaker 02

  The showers.

• 24:42Speaker 01

  Anyway, shall we go to your etiquette etymology? What have we got this week?

• 24:46Speaker 02

  Oh, I've just had a fantastic idea.

• 24:49Speaker 01

  For an etiquette etymology?

• 24:50Speaker 02

  No, I know what I'm going to do. Be the only time you don't care. It's so boring, but I'll do it in a minute. It's, uh, after these messages, I'm going to tell you all about fish knives inspired by that letter from Ryan the other week, asking if it's a faux pas to use a fish knife as a dinner knife. Stay tuned.

• 25:10Speaker 06

  Hello, this is Susie Ruffel.

• 25:11Speaker 07

  And Maisie Adam.

• 25:12Speaker 06

  And together we host Big Kick Energy. Hey Mais, what is it?

• 25:15Speaker 07

  Only the best podcast ever.

• 25:16Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 25:17Speaker 07

  A comedy entertainment podcast with a focus on all things women's football, all things hilarious, all things friendship. It's a laugh is what it is, Ruffel.

• 25:27Speaker 06

  Yeah, and a fair bit of gossiping, too.

• 25:29Speaker 07

  Oh, and a lovely bit of gossip. Chow down on the gossip.

• 25:31Speaker 06

  Num, num, num, num, num. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts, you just need to search Big Kick Energy.

• 25:37Speaker 07

  Grab a knife and fork and tuck in, baby.

• 25:44Speaker 02

  Here's the jingle. It's William. William. The etiquette geek, his knowledge. Knowledge. Quite unique, he'll give you manners. Manners. Subtle tweak. It's time for William's Etiquetimetiquetiminology of the Week. Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. Now, this will be the first etiquetteology I'm not interrupted in, and is coming. So, are fish knives common? Yes, basically, in short, but why? Well, fish knives and forks, sometimes called fish eaters, first appeared.

• 26:17Speaker 01

  You can move me, Adam.

• 26:17Speaker 02

  No, you can't.

• 26:18Speaker 01

  No, I'm allowed to.

• 26:19Speaker 02

  Shut up. In the middle to the later 19th century. They were mainly seen in silver plate. The flat shape of knife and fork was designed to make eating fish simple. The point of the knife, because the knife has a slight point, makes finding any bones easy. But why is something so practical? Because necessity invented them. Why is it so common? Well, basically, the middle class had new money. During the 19th century, improved industrial practices made manufactured goods cheaper, and this also brought... Oh, it's changed sides. This also brought wealth to a burgeoning middle class who wanted to distinguish themselves and establish their own rules. Now, this was particularly the case in America. If you've watched the Gilded Age, which we talked about before, it's sort of that era. Suddenly, everything had a piece of cutlery, like strawberry forks.

• 27:03Speaker 02

  Not just fish knives and forks, asparagus strongs as well, ice cream spoons. And basically, the new money in America said, "Look, we can afford all of this." And old money went, "No, it's vulgar." Now, the royal family rarely serves fish, definitely unboned fish. When they do, they still use two forks, which is considered the proper way to eat fish. But a bit of a faff. And is gone. And he's gone.

• 27:27Speaker 01

  Not enough there.

• 27:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, but I thought that was a very successful etiquette emoji.

• 27:32Speaker 03

  Hard disagree. I think it needs Jordan.

• 27:36Speaker 01

  Thank, that's the, oh mate, that's the kindest thing you've ever said to me.

• 27:40Speaker 02

  You must be the only producer working in the media that's ever said that.

• 27:44Speaker 01

  Um, that's so lovely because in my head, I'm the only one here that isn't replaceable. So that's really.

• 27:50Speaker 03

  You're the only one here that isn't.

• 27:56Speaker 01

  So, hey, remember this, best advice I've ever given, right? From your old uncle Jordan here, we're all replaceable. Never forget that.

• 28:04Speaker 02

  True.

• 28:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:05Speaker 01

  We're all replaceable. Never forget that.

• 28:07Speaker 03

  I'd agree.

• 28:07Speaker 01

  No matter, no ma- one minute you're cock of the walk, then next you're a feather duster.

• 28:12Speaker 02

  Well, I'll tell you this, when we were doing the publicity photo.

• 28:15Speaker 01

  What?

• 28:16Speaker 03

  What's the, what's the link between cock of the walk and a feather duster?

• 28:21Speaker 02

  Piers Morgan used to have that in his Twitter bio.

• 28:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, we're all replaceable. Even he was replaceable. Look at the ratings he brought in for GMB.

• 28:28Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 28:28Speaker 01

  Bosch, gone.

• 28:29Speaker 02

  Well, when we were doing our publicity photos for Titan A, we were standing, we were all standing, shut up. We were all standing, this is proving your point. We were all standing there as a group and then they went, and William, if you could just step out for a minute, showbiz, because that'll be the ones they use when I'm out.

• 28:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 28:44Speaker 02

  So, you know.

• 28:44Speaker 01

  If they offer you an extra six weeks for your day.

• 28:46Speaker 02

  Oh, no, because I'll have to cancel our holiday.

• 28:50Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 28:50Speaker 02

  Going to Disney with my niece and nephew. So that's very exciting.

• 28:54Speaker 01

  Which one?

• 28:55Speaker 02

  Annie and Henry.

• 28:56Speaker 01

  No, which Disney?

• 29:01Speaker 02

  Uh, Paris.

• 29:03Speaker 02

  What do you mean, uh? I love Disney Paris.

• 29:05Speaker 01

  I've never been, I've never been to Paris.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  One, one of these days, you, me and Ben will Eiffel Tower.

• 29:10Speaker 01

  I've decided that when you go on a European break, it's better to go with friends.

• 29:16Speaker 02

  Oh, okay. I slightly disagree, but yeah, I know what you mean.

• 29:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:19Speaker 02

  Okay, anywhere. But I would say a holiday with friends is different from a holiday with your loved one or with family or whatever. Either they all have different.

• 29:25Speaker 03

  I hope so.

• 29:26Speaker 01

  Do you go, have you, are you like at a stage where you and Cat go on holiday and then after four days you don't really know what to talk about?

• 29:32Speaker 02

  No.

• 29:33Speaker 01

  That's a yes.

• 29:35Speaker 02

  She's never there.

• 29:37Speaker 03

  You've got lots to catch up on.

• 29:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's true. Yeah. When you go away for a week.

• 29:41Speaker 02

  Ben just puts himself in front of the mirror and talks to himself.

• 29:43Speaker 01

  Ben's like, did I tell you I've been promoted at work? I'm executive producer Ben now. Oh, really? When was that? Two years ago.

• 29:50Speaker 02

  Longer than that.

• 29:51Speaker 01

  Right. Um. You're gonna do the problems and dilemmas now.

• 29:54Speaker 02

  I am.

• 29:54Speaker 01

  It's time for him, but I'm gonna switch the iPad off because I I've had some notes this week.

• 29:58Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 29:58Speaker 01

  Like you, from our production team, that I read the iPad when you're reading them.

• 30:03Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 30:03Speaker 01

  And, um, it makes it I look a bit disinterested on YouTube and stuff.

• 30:09Speaker 02

  Yeah. What are you doing?

• 30:10Speaker 01

  That's my notes. Um, um, how do you, um, honestly, I'm such a technophile.

• 30:15Speaker 02

  Top right.

• 30:16Speaker 01

  There we go. I'm gonna be one of those old people that ain't got a clue how to turn telly on.

• 30:20Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 30:21Speaker 01

  Oh, I'll be, I'll be terrible.

• 30:22Speaker 03

  Isn't that what you are now?

• 30:23Speaker 01

  The telly in my house winds me up. Cause I.

• 30:26Speaker 02

  Well, you ordered it.

• 30:27Speaker 01

  Switch it on, one upstairs. Cause I'm.

• 30:30Speaker 02

  Well, that, that, that's.

• 30:31Speaker 01

  And I need never, I can't turn.

• 30:33Speaker 03

  What a problem. What a problem to have.

• 30:35Speaker 01

  The telly in my house winds me up and then heating's on a frigging app. What's that all about?

• 30:41Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 30:42Speaker 01

  Heating on an app.

• 30:43Speaker 02

  I've just had mine call an app.

• 30:44Speaker 01

  Forget my password. It's more for hot water. If I wanna bath, I just have to put merging on.

• 30:49Speaker 02

  No, it's good because.

• 30:50Speaker 01

  Cause in old days, you used to ring and say, I am mum. You'd ring on our phone and say, I've just played footy. We put merging on. And she'll be like, yeah, don't.

• 30:57Speaker 02

  The merging?

• 30:58Speaker 01

  Don't tell your dad. Cause it's, yeah.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  Now, if we fancy it hot in the bedroom, we just fire up an app and within thirty, thirty minutes it is. Our first dilemma is from anonymous.

• 31:07Speaker 01

  Don't get me started on washing machine.

• 31:09Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 31:09Speaker 01

  It's got an app on now as well. Put it on a delayed timer. See if washing don't go.

• 31:14Speaker 02

  It's good. Yeah. Hello, William and Jordan. This past weekend, one of the women in our office got married.

• 31:20Speaker 01

  I'm looking interested.

• 31:21Speaker 02

  Yes, I know. Uh, as work.

• 31:23Speaker 03

  Andy's coming.

• 31:27Speaker 02

  And it's gone. As work colleagues, we were all invited as reception guests with invitees stating arrival at the venue from HPM. We were all delighted for her and she had been talking about it nonstop since she got engaged. Jordan is now overcompensating. She also mentioned how excited she was, particularly because a band and DJ were playing well into the night. We all organised babysitters, got dressed up, there was a black tie dress code and lifts sorted to the venue, which was quite out of the way for most of us. When we arrived, the band was in full swing, but the bride and groom were nowhere to be seen. We assumed they had gone to their room to make the marriage official. About an hour later, the groom appeared looking less than pleased. We asked a bridesmaid where the bride was and she said she didn't know, but hadn't seen her in over an hour.

• 32:10Speaker 02

  The groom then explained that the bride had a headache and was calling it a night at nine P M. Both sets of parents were clearly not impressed, neither were the groom's friends, who all felt their mate had been shown up. She was apparently berating him for not coming to bed with her. The party had died to death and without the presence of the person we were there to celebrate, it all felt like a waste of time. So our dilemma is, as the bride, presumably partly responsible for paying for the event, is it rude to leave your own party early?

• 32:33Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 32:34Speaker 02

  Those invited for the evening reception didn't see her. She has been talking in our group and posting online as if she'd had a crazy night, which is confusing everyone even more. Your expertise on this etiquette dilemma would be greatly appreciated. Thank you both.

• 32:46Speaker 01

  I, I mean, unless you're really ill and you're like both ends.

• 32:50Speaker 02

  Obviously.

• 32:51Speaker 01

  And yeah, I get.

• 32:53Speaker 02

  Hopefully you're not on your wedding night.

• 32:54Speaker 01

  No, I get being a bride and groom, like you don't actually get a minute, you can't even finish a drink.

• 33:02Speaker 01

  The only, yeah, so you should probably make effort, a headache, unless it's a severe headache, a migraine.

• 33:09Speaker 02

  A severe headache, I was at school with her.

• 33:14Speaker 01

  But I, I think she was quite rude there. I think that's very rude. It doesn't sound, maybe, you know, there's always two sides to a story, but I think that was pretty rude.

• 33:23Speaker 02

  So I would, okay, I, yeah, I sort of do agree. Particularly if you're going to then have evening guests, and this is why I've said it before, I would, if you can, just have guests that either you're a guest or you're not a guest. Don't have this two-tier entry system of, of guests. Because then if you do want to retire to bed, even with the person you're marrying, and you want to sort of disappear, then it's fine. It is your party, if you're paying for it, you, you leave when you want to, that, that isn't technically a problem, but yes, it does appear rude. And leaving your groom in this instance there, not ideal.

• 33:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  What, what would it feel like if it was, if you were hosting like a dinner party and you did that like that?

• 34:01Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, it would be ridiculous. But also, I mean, this is, this is.

• 34:05Speaker 01

  I've done that. I've gone for a tactical nap. Yeah, did it when.

• 34:08Speaker 02

  Is that why that paire, paire, paire took so long to cook?

• 34:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, I, I just, I crashed. I just went upstairs and had 20 minutes. I had to, crashed.

• 34:17Speaker 02

  I would say this is a modern dilemma because historically, even our parents' generation and before, you would go away. So you would sort of, you would go and change and then you would literally leave for the honeymoon and the party would continue.

• 34:29Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 34:30Speaker 02

  The actual couple getting married staying is a relatively new concept.

• 34:34Speaker 01

  Weird though, I'd be well paid off. Oh, I don't want to go, go into Manchester Airport when everyone's on piss.

• 34:40Speaker 02

  Well, you don't necessarily have to go to the airport. You could just go to a hotel and, you know.

• 34:43Speaker 01

  Is that what your mum and dad did?

• 34:44Speaker 02

  Uh, well, I don't know. I wasn't there. Um, but I can't remember what, what.

• 34:49Speaker 01

  When your mum pregnant with you?

• 34:51Speaker 02

  No, she was not. I, no, I came three years later.

• 34:54Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 34:55Speaker 02

  Maybe two, actually. Not me.

• 34:57Speaker 01

  Is that you? Not that I'm, hey, I'm not judging. I've been at weddings where kids have been paged by.

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Hmm. It's a modern, but let's not sit here and work it out. Anyway, so I would say it's a modern predicament.

• 35:10Speaker 01

  My mum and dad got married at 19. Can you believe that?

• 35:12Speaker 02

  Wow. Well, when you were 19.

• 35:13Speaker 01

  Oh, they were 18, 18 and married and Ryan, they had Ryan at 19.

• 35:18Speaker 02

  Well, you know, people, people get married older now than they used to. Uh, but yeah, short answer, yes, it is rude.

• 35:23Speaker 01

  I think it was a bit rude. And if you are going to a wedding and you're a bride, try to, try to make the most of it. You don't have to be the last one up, but.

• 35:29Speaker 02

  No, absolutely not. And, and you do want to leave together.

• 35:32Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 35:33Speaker 02

  Um, our next dilemma is from Dan. Dear William, Jordan and all, I have an etiquette question that has been driving me to despair for quite some time and I would finally like some sort of closure, if you will. Why is it that on escalators, the etiquette is to stand on the right to allow others to pass on the left, yet on stairs, it's the opposite?

• 35:48Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 35:48Speaker 02

  Why, why can't there be at least some sort of, dare I say, common sense in both modes of D slash escalation be the same? Might sound like a petty thing, but it's genuinely been driving me nuts for years. Can you shed any light at all on this? Thanks in advance. Dan from Manchester.

• 36:02Speaker 01

  I hate to be this person, but if you are coming down to London or any major city.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:07Speaker 01

  Stand on the right.

• 36:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:10Speaker 01

  Because it is.

• 36:11Speaker 02

  It's particularly bad at weekends.

• 36:12Speaker 01

  Oh, it's so bad. And you can spot a tourist in London. I hate to be that guy on the tube because in London, stand on the right. Don't stand in the middle, don't stand on the left because some people like to walk down and go faster. And I have to go, excuse me. And they think you're being rude. Like, yeah. So why is that? Why is it different? Because it is left, isn't it?

• 36:30Speaker 02

  I would say it probably goes back to swords. So for stairs, well, it does.

• 36:34Speaker 01

  Well, he was, he was having sword fights on the tube.

• 36:37Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 36:37Speaker 01

  It's not that old.

• 36:38Speaker 02

  No one. But on stairs, obviously your sword carrying hip was your left hip. And so probably going, going up the stairs, and obviously stairs have been around longer than escalators. And someone at TFL or someone decided that when you're standing on an escalator, you stand on the right. So I would say that the rule sort of exists, it's, it's the tube or escalators that are the anomaly here, not general stairs.

• 37:01Speaker 03

  I guess when you're walking though, you are on the left, aren't you? So like on both the stairs, like you're still walking on the left.

• 37:05Speaker 02

  Hmm. True.

• 37:06Speaker 03

  It's a different, it's a different.

• 37:08Speaker 02

  In Singapore though, it's the other way around. It's very confusing. You have to walk on the right and stand on the left. Through me.

• 37:14Speaker 01

  Throws me. I was told recently that, um, when I offered to help people with their bags at the airport, at the airport or at the train station or at the tube, it's an ick.

• 37:25Speaker 02

  It's not an ick at all.

• 37:26Speaker 01

  Apparently I look for it.

• 37:30Speaker 01

  I look to help.

• 37:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, I can see you doing that.

• 37:32Speaker 01

  I don't. It's just to see if the people.

• 37:34Speaker 02

  To see if they're people.

• 37:35Speaker 01

  To see if there's people that need help.

• 37:37Speaker 02

  Well, if there's someone right next to you, then yes, but you don't, you don't cross the terminal to go and help someone.

• 37:41Speaker 03

  Not all, not all heroes wear caves.

• 37:44Speaker 01

  Thank you, Ben. Thank, you'll be dead nice to me today, pal. Thank you. I like your trainers.

• 37:48Speaker 03

  That was more sarcastic than, than thing.

• 37:50Speaker 01

  No, but yeah.

• 37:52Speaker 02

  It was a bit much when you went from terminal five to terminal two to do it.

• 37:54Speaker 01

  Apparently as well, I'll cross the street to give someone money. It's nice to be nice.

• 38:01Speaker 03

  Any more humble brags?

• 38:02Speaker 02

  In all, in all seriousness, does anyone have two pounds on them? Because I do actually need to pay the sweepstake at Titanic.

• 38:08Speaker 01

  He's got two quid on him.

• 38:09Speaker 02

  Well, I know. Apparently I can Monzo's, whatever that is. I'd rather give cash.

• 38:13Speaker 01

  Well, in Happy Days. That's the funds, isn't it?

• 38:17Speaker 02

  This is from anonymous. Hello, William Jordan and of course the rest of the team. I had a very messy heartbreaking breakup with my ex a little while ago and I'm just getting myself back to normal. But there's one big hurdle I can't quite get over. When I was with my ex, I introduced them to some of my closest friends and they all really got along. Since the breakup, my friends are still very close to my ex and see them regularly. But now I barely see my friends. We used to hang out almost every weekend, but now I'm lucky if I see them once a month. They never message to invite me out, but I see photos of them going out with my ex. It's soul destroying. I've tried to talk about it with them, but I was shut down with responses like. I feel like we've gotten closer. I've tried instigating meetups but keep hitting being busy.

• 38:58Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 38:58Speaker 02

  I'm now at the point where I'm waiting for them to reach out, but it seems to never come.

• 39:03Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 39:03Speaker 02

  Do I stop hoping they will? Do I accept they're closer to my ex now than me? I lose sleep over this every night, scared to lose them. Any advice would mean the world to me. Though I've never met you, you feel like close friends who can give me unbiased judgment. All my love, anonymous.

• 39:17Speaker 01

  That's, I'm glad you brought this up because this is such a tricky one. Like, breakups are messy at the best of times and what have you. But with friends, I always thought the rule of thumb was, well, so say if we broke up.

• 39:31Speaker 02

  What, professionally?

• 39:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:33Speaker 02

  Or if we were together.

• 39:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, or we broke up professionally.

• 39:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:36Speaker 01

  I'd get Ben, obviously. But then.

• 39:39Speaker 02

  To be fair, you could have him.

• 39:40Speaker 01

  It's who, it's tough, but I suppose it's who they were friends with first. If they introduce you to them, and they don't sound like great people, I think you might have to.

• 39:49Speaker 02

  All right, right.

• 39:50Speaker 01

  I know it's, this is a really hard here, but you might have to accept that they're moving on. And if they want to be friends with your ex, that's fine. You should try and make other friends. But generally, rule of thumb is if they were their friends originally, they should try and avoid their ex-partner.

• 40:07Speaker 02

  Um, I would say it depends on the context of the breakup.

• 40:11Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 40:12Speaker 02

  If one person did something really horrid.

• 40:14Speaker 01

  That's a fair point.

• 40:15Speaker 02

  Fair enough. Now, and Anon has not, he said it's very messy and heartbreaking. All breakups are, but in terms of heartbreaking, not necessarily messy. We don't know the reasons why. Maybe Anonymous did have an affair and the friends are thinking, well, you were a bit of a dick for doing that.

• 40:30Speaker 01

  They might not have done.

• 40:31Speaker 02

  They might not have done. We don't know, I'm saying we don't know the reason. But if there is some reason like that, or God forbid it was worse than that, then I can see why friends would go, well, we're gonna cut you out. Um, but if, just providing that the, just, let's just assume it was a, just you became different people, it drifted apart. There is no reason why friends have to pick a side. You can still continue to be friends with both if you want to be. Um, but then it becomes difficult when, let's say, at weddings and, you know, there are going to be times when you've got to. Be all together in the same room.

• 41:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, fair enough.

• 41:06Speaker 02

  But also they're their own people and they can make their own choices as heartbreaking as that is.

• 41:10Speaker 01

  Yes, I'd try and accept and move on and maybe leave the ball in their court now, like, um, hopefully you you don't message them and they'll start to miss you after a while and and reach out and be like, hey, it's been a while. And hopefully that can rekindle it.

• 41:23Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 41:24Speaker 01

  Good advice. Is that a Monet behind you?

• 41:26Speaker 02

  I doubt it.

• 41:29Speaker 01

  What is that picture?

• 41:30Speaker 02

  That's not Monet.

• 41:31Speaker 01

  He he painted with his fingertips, didn't he? That was Monet.

• 41:35Speaker 02

  It's like sitting opposite Sister Wendy.

• 41:39Speaker 01

  Really?

• 41:39Speaker 02

  Quite. Don't worry. She was the nun art critic.

• 41:42Speaker 03

  Uh, no, Claude Monet did not paint with his fingers.

• 41:44Speaker 01

  He did. He dabbed.

• 41:46Speaker 02

  Do you mean Manet?

• 41:48Speaker 01

  No.

• 41:48Speaker 03

  Monet used the light brushes and he like dabbed it, I think.

• 41:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, there was. He used his fingertips. I remember learning it in school.

• 41:55Speaker 02

  You don't mean Van Gogh?

• 41:57Speaker 01

  He chopped his cock off, didn't he?

• 41:59Speaker 02

  Ear.

• 41:59Speaker 01

  Oh, was it his ear?

• 42:00Speaker 02

  It was his ear.

• 42:02Speaker 01

  Oh, he chopped it. Who chopped the cock off then?

• 42:04Speaker 03

  No, he he chopped his ear off, but he painted with his cock.

• 42:07Speaker 01

  Uh, no, he did.

• 42:12Speaker 01

  Did he chop his? Yeah, he chopped his ear off, didn't he?

• 42:14Speaker 02

  He did.

• 42:15Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 42:15Speaker 02

  For whatever reason. This is from Eleanor. Hello, William and Jordan. My girlfriend and I have been doing long distance for almost a year now because I'm studying abroad. She's coming to visit me in a couple of weeks for anniversary. Yay. We haven't seen each other since mid-January, so we are very much looking forward to seeing each other. My problem is I'm scared there are going to be some steamy expectations. Firstly, I'm living in a shared flat with very thin walls and my flatmates do not need to know all that about me. Secondly, I find it hard to finish with other people. And though my girlfriend knows this, I don't want her to think she can't satisfy me or that I'm not excited to see her. Any advice? Love you guys. Your podcast has been a lovely reminder of home while I've been away.

• 42:52Speaker 01

  Maybe if, maybe if you've got the money.

• 42:56Speaker 02

  Hmm, a hotel.

• 42:57Speaker 01

  A hotel.

• 42:58Speaker 02

  That will serve the first problem, solve the first problem.

• 43:00Speaker 01

  Your girlfriend's only right in expecting a bit of, you know.

• 43:04Speaker 03

  Rumpy, pumpy.

• 43:05Speaker 01

  A bit of.

• 43:05Speaker 02

  How's how's your mother? Godspeeds.

• 43:07Speaker 01

  How's your father?

• 43:08Speaker 02

  How's Dennis?

• 43:09Speaker 01

  Oh, I can't believe. A bit of rumpy, pumpy.

• 43:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:11Speaker 01

  Please don't say that you've ever said that to her.

• 43:15Speaker 01

  What about a bit of rumpy, pumpy? You know, so I don't think there's anything wrong there.

• 43:19Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 43:19Speaker 01

  She, you know. Been a long time.

• 43:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:23Speaker 01

  If you're long distance, a bit of scissors won't go amiss. So.

• 43:29Speaker 02

  I'll let you finish this one.

• 43:30Speaker 01

  So, maybe get a hotel, but also, for a couple nights, we can fuck, but also don't overthink it. Like, I have lived with many housemates and you do know that if their other half's coming, you kind of make yourself scarce for, uh, you know, you go to the cinema for an afternoon and you say, you have a place to yourself. You don't have to say-

• 43:51Speaker 02

  Go and see Toy Story 5?

• 43:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, go and see Toy Story 5 or maybe hint to your housemates if you could have an evening to yourself. But you know, if worse comes to worse, outdoors.

• 44:00Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 44:01Speaker 01

  That's my advice, but yeah. And, and don't worry about, you know, not being able to-

• 44:10Speaker 02

  Finish.

• 44:11Speaker 01

  Like, yeah, it's, it's fine to finish yourself off. Sometimes it's fucking, sometimes it's great.

• 44:17Speaker 02

  If your girlfriend knows about it, then there's no problem with it. I think you're in your own head about that.

• 44:21Speaker 01

  It's great. If you finish yourself off and everyone's happy, then fine.

• 44:24Speaker 02

  Exactly. I have nothing further to add.

• 44:26Speaker 03

  I've always said that.

• 44:27Speaker 02

  Our final dilemma is from Vic. Do you want him to-

• 44:30Speaker 01

  What's worse than, uh, running with scissors? Scissoring with a run.

• 44:42Speaker 01

  That's a good one.

• 44:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:44Speaker 03

  Andy's come.

• 44:47Speaker 02

  I'll find-

• 44:47Speaker 01

  Don't say come.

• 44:50Speaker 01

  That's more of a, we've not seen that meme. Cause obviously Andy got a bit older.

• 44:57Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 44:58Speaker 01

  He's in his room and toys would have seen it all, wouldn't they?

• 45:00Speaker 02

  They would have done.

• 45:00Speaker 01

  I always sometimes-

• 45:02Speaker 02

  Buzz would have seen that, would he?

• 45:03Speaker 01

  Do you ever midway through think, do you have a midway through thing? I hope my grandma's not watching from ever now.

• 45:10Speaker 02

  Why is that going through your mind?

• 45:12Speaker 01

  Is that weird? Cause they say-

• 45:14Speaker 02

  You're sick.

• 45:14Speaker 01

  I'm not sick, but you know, they say, uh, little Robin comes and they say that's someone you love.

• 45:22Speaker 01

  But do you ever think, oh God, I hope my loved ones aren't watching? You, I, when I go to heaven and my grandkids and what have you-

• 45:29Speaker 02

  Charing Cross.

• 45:29Speaker 01

  A wanking, I won't watch. I'll go, oh, Maureen, let's leave it. He's, um, he's wanking again. Yeah. At that age, we'll, we'll pop back in in, in an hour.

• 45:41Speaker 02

  An hour? The press hasn't fallen off?

• 45:45Speaker 01

  I hope we do, loved ones. I hope they give you a bit of privacy when you-

• 45:49Speaker 02

  Well, one day we'll know. Our final dilemma is from Vic.

• 45:52Speaker 01

  Final? You've shriveled.

• 45:55Speaker 02

  No, I haven't. Thank you very much. Our final dilemma is from Vic. Dear William Jordan et al. As the summer season gets fully underway, I have a dilemma about the etiquette of using a handheld fan. I should be attending both Queens and Wimbledon this year, and it can get very hot, especially for a lady of a certain age. So should I follow the example of the lady next to me last year at Queens who used her fan liberally, first on her face, then on her chest and finally lifting her skirt and opening her legs to hand herself where the sun doesn't shine? Or should I sit and melt in a very modest and English fashion? Thank you in anticipation of your advice. Vic from Surrey. Very sorry.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  Very sorry.

• 46:31Speaker 02

  Very sorry question.

• 46:31Speaker 01

  Is that a handheld electrical fan or a wafter?

• 46:34Speaker 02

  I guess it doesn't matter.

• 46:35Speaker 01

  Either or. Oh, can you imagine that?

• 46:41Speaker 01

  It's a very, I can imagine.

• 46:42Speaker 02

  Have you ever had a wafter up your trousers?

• 46:44Speaker 01

  I can't say I have.

• 46:45Speaker 02

  No.

• 46:45Speaker 01

  No. I think it's fine to waft your face. Maybe you can do the.

• 46:48Speaker 02

  Maybe a decolletage.

• 46:50Speaker 01

  The breast area.

• 46:51Speaker 02

  The decolletage.

• 46:52Speaker 01

  Because that can get very sweaty and clammy. It can. The breasts get very sweaty and clammy in the summer. Don't, don't, don't.

• 47:01Speaker 02

  You're speaking from experience.

• 47:03Speaker 01

  So you have to give them a little waft.

• 47:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, but I would say lower than your stomach. No.

• 47:07Speaker 01

  I'd, I'd, I'd draw the line at wafting your fanny. Can you imagine that? You're there at Queens and so I was wafting a fanny and goes, oh, I think we got fish and chips on the menu.

• 47:21Speaker 02

  Well, I'm offended by that on behalf of everyone. I'm put in mind of last summer when you invited us to that lovely festival on the riverbank and it was absolutely like 35 degrees.

• 47:33Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 47:34Speaker 02

  It was 35 degrees, black tie, everyone was sweltering. I was the only person in a tent of about a thousand that kept his jacket on. And after 10 minutes, I was fine. The body regulates.

• 47:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, you did say that. That was the first year they've ever said, gentlemen can take jackets off. Yeah. I, you're not coming this year. Mikey's still coming, innit?

• 47:53Speaker 02

  Mikey is still coming. Alas, I shall be elsewhere.

• 47:55Speaker 01

  Yeah. Where will you be?

• 47:57Speaker 02

  I forget.

• 47:58Speaker 01

  Ah, yeah, so, um, we, we've had to get a few replacements in.

• 48:02Speaker 02

  A few?

• 48:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:03Speaker 02

  There was only one seat.

• 48:04Speaker 01

  Chris and Shaun can't make, uh, Shaun and Jakey can't make it.

• 48:06Speaker 02

  Oh, well, that's why I pulled out.

• 48:09Speaker 01

  Is it?

• 48:09Speaker 02

  No.

• 48:09Speaker 01

  Because they weren't going.

• 48:11Speaker 02

  Who, who's coming then?

• 48:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, a few people, I said that. We got the numbers, don't worry.

• 48:16Speaker 02

  Well, I'm sure you, I mean, it's only, you know, you're only replacing three. I mean, you're not asking to replace a whole football team.

• 48:21Speaker 01

  It's hard. Have you played, have you tried, and I'll keep going on, but I've tried getting three lads together for paddle. Or girls. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. Nearly rang, have you played?

• 48:34Speaker 02

  Nearly rang Ben.

• 48:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, I did. Have you played?

• 48:36Speaker 02

  Oh, we said we should have run you.

• 48:39Speaker 01

  She said we should have run you.

• 48:41Speaker 02

  You've been taking him hours to get to you.

• 48:42Speaker 01

  How does this work?

• 48:43Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 48:44Speaker 01

  Because I'm in my head. I'm getting worse the more paddle I play. I'm getting worse.

• 48:49Speaker 02

  I mean, paddle's not even a sport. It's, it, come on.

• 48:52Speaker 01

  It is a sport.

• 48:53Speaker 02

  Is it regulated? Is it an Olympic sport?

• 48:55Speaker 01

  Just get in there. It'll be in the Olympics soon. It's great. How often do you play, Ben?

• 49:00Speaker 03

  Daily.

• 49:02Speaker 01
