• 2:10Speaker 02

  No, we're not, Jordan North, radio presenter. I'm more owed for gas, you're more full of gas. That's from Daz. Used to love his doorstep challenge.

• 2:19Speaker 00

  Very good.

• 2:19Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 2:20Speaker 00

  And very good. And how much do I owe you now?

• 2:23Speaker 02

  125.

• 2:25Speaker 00

  Oh, for God's sake, just remind me and I'll pay it for you.

• 2:27Speaker 02

  I'm reminding you now.

• 2:28Speaker 00

  Okay, I'll sort it out. I'll sort it out after this. What's this you've got here?

• 2:32Speaker 02

  Well, we ran to gin and we found that in the other studio, Tarquin's Gin.

• 2:36Speaker 00

  God, of course it is. Tarquin's Gin.

• 2:39Speaker 02

  Hope he doesn't mind us using it.

• 2:40Speaker 00

  And look, it's, it's, it looks like something out of Harry Potter. It looks like the bottle looks like that from...

• 2:46Speaker 02

  It's got like a blue wax...

• 2:48Speaker 00

  Maker's Mark. It's like Maker's Mark whiskey. It's got a little wax thing on.

• 2:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:53Speaker 00

  Oof, leave his arse.

• 2:55Speaker 02

  Oh, I haven't done that for a while.

• 2:57Speaker 00

  Go on, give us yours. I've got paddle after this.

• 3:02Speaker 02

  Have you?

• 3:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:03Speaker 02

  Well, drink up.

• 3:05Speaker 00

  So, I don't want to be, I don't want to be...

• 3:06Speaker 02

  Now, Ben has kept this bottle in the fridge, so thank you, Ben. That will make...

• 3:10Speaker 00

  Are you meant to keep it in the fridge?

• 3:11Speaker 02

  Yes, you are. Read the back. Sorry, I say read the back. For about three years on this podcast, we didn't read the back and we didn't keep it in the fridge, but you are meant to keep it in the fridge.

• 3:20Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 3:20Speaker 02

  And we are going to toast Julie via her daughter Grace.

• 3:24Speaker 00

  Julie!

• 3:25Speaker 02

  Julie, who has messaged in to say, hi, boys, could you please toast my mum Julie, who has recently celebrated her 60th birthday on a cruise to the Norwegian fjords. My mum listens every episode and came to see your live show in Wembley. Well, Julie, this is to you and to your 60th birthday that Grace has kindly told us your age. Happy birthday.

• 3:47Speaker 00

  Happy birthday. Enjoy the Norwegian fjords. You know what I'm gonna ask, don't you?

• 3:51Speaker 02

  What? What fjords?

• 3:52Speaker 00

  What are the Norwegian, is that like their version of the rug?

• 3:56Speaker 02

  No, a fjord...

• 3:57Speaker 00

  Have they got a Norwegian?

• 3:58Speaker 02

  It's, it's a, it's a, it's a boat thing. So you go through the valley.

• 4:03Speaker 00

  Oh, is it a fjord?

• 4:04Speaker 02

  And they're like the in-between mountains.

• 4:05Speaker 00

  I think of some pictures.

• 4:06Speaker 03

  It's a big lake. Hi, guys.

• 4:08Speaker 00

  Is it a massive lake?

• 4:09Speaker 03

  There are many massive lakes.

• 4:11Speaker 02

  But you go in between them normally, don't you, sort of?

• 4:13Speaker 03

  What do you mean?

• 4:14Speaker 02

  Well, you sail in between.

• 4:16Speaker 03

  You go through them.

• 4:17Speaker 02

  Through them.

• 4:17Speaker 00

  Have you done it?

• 4:18Speaker 03

  It's like a, like a loch.

• 4:20Speaker 00

  A loch?

• 4:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:22Speaker 00

  Something I'd like to do, I've think of some pictures. So is it a massive lake that you've got sail for?

• 4:27Speaker 02

  There are several of them, yes, many.

• 4:29Speaker 00

  And you can, a cruise ship, they're that big, a cruise ship.

• 4:32Speaker 02

  I don't know if it's the size of a conventional cruise ship, but a boat of some variety.

• 4:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think, I think it is a conventional cruise ship.

• 4:38Speaker 02

  Oh, is it? Gosh.

• 4:39Speaker 03

  A fjord is a long and narrow and deep sea inlet with steep cliffs or mountains on its sides formed by ancient glaciers. There we go.

• 4:48Speaker 00

  Have you ever been on a cruise?

• 4:50Speaker 02

  I did a crossing. I did the Queen Mary two from Southampton to New York.

• 4:54Speaker 00

  That's a cruise? How long did that take?

• 4:56Speaker 02

  Well, it's not a cruise. I would say cruise is where you stop off.

• 4:58Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 4:58Speaker 02

  You don't stop off in the middle. You mean, you, you don't want to stop off in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

• 5:03Speaker 00

  How long did that take?

• 5:04Speaker 02

  Six nights, I think.

• 5:06Speaker 00

  God.

• 5:06Speaker 02

  Yeah. And obviously, I'm on a cruise, you know, I used to be on a cruise every night in the West End. Not like that. Just want to point out in the show.

• 5:19Speaker 00

  Have you ever been on a cruise? Some of these ships now are massive, aren't they?

• 5:23Speaker 02

  Oh, and they've got like theme parks on them. And you're like, that is going to sink.

• 5:26Speaker 00

  I've been on the Virgin one, but it didn't move. It was just the opening. It was a big piss-up. One of the worst hangovers, this is my top five hangovers, the Virgin cruise.

• 5:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was the launch, wasn't it?

• 5:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. Ship face. It was all free beer.

• 5:40Speaker 02

  We should say, huge development, not only putting the devon in the fridge this episode, but very sweetly, the production team have put the script in Comic Sans for you.

• 5:49Speaker 00

  And highlighted it for me. Look at that.

• 5:51Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 5:51Speaker 00

  How nice is that?

• 5:53Speaker 02

  I mean, my, my font is not Baskerville, like I asked for. Just want to, just want to say that, but you know, okay.

• 5:59Speaker 00

  It actually does out, if, if anyone's dyslexic, can have a reading out loud or, or doing a presentation, get it in Comic Sans.

• 6:07Speaker 02

  I'd love to know the science behind that. If there's anyone that knows.

• 6:09Speaker 00

  And get it yellow highlighted. So see there? See there? It really helps. Really helps. Yeah. Well, that's very kind of you. Thank you. We're an inclusive bunch here at Help I Sexted My Boss. We always, aren't we? What are we gonna do about Ben then?

• 6:27Speaker 00

  Are we gonna help him? Do you want a little, one of those little dogs to come and...

• 6:31Speaker 02

  He's got one.

• 6:32Speaker 00

  He's got one, hasn't he?

• 6:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:33Speaker 00

  Excuse me, Joe, have you done my little, what are they called?

• 6:36Speaker 03

  Support.

• 6:37Speaker 00

  Support dog. I'm his dog, I'm his support.

• 6:40Speaker 02

  Maybe he can have...

• 6:40Speaker 00

  And he can't even look after me. Never mind another bloody dog. Be all around landing every time they're pissing off for the weekend. And where's my mommy? I haven't seen her for ages. I mean, no more than usual, but ages. My report are missing. All right, Diego. Well, get another support dog. Who do you think you are? All right, well, I'm not gonna get your support dog, Ben.

• 7:03Speaker 02

  We could get him an emotional support blanket.

• 7:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, get him an emotional support blanket.

• 7:08Speaker 02

  Seeing as he is a producer, that's a musical theatre reference, very niche, but a few people got it. Don't worry.

• 7:14Speaker 03

  What are you on about sometimes, honestly?

• 7:16Speaker 02

  It's for the higher, it's for the listeners who are on my wavelength.

• 7:20Speaker 00

  Have you got anything wrong with you? Because you know, like...

• 7:22Speaker 02

  Oh, yes.

• 7:23Speaker 00

  You know, like, um, oh, I'll be honest, I'm deeply anxious. I've got OCD. I've got ADHD.

• 7:30Speaker 02

  Undiagnosed.

• 7:33Speaker 00

  Dyslexic, possibly, possibly dyspraxic as well. Because my mum and brother are. In fact, a lot of people that work with dyspraxic kids have said, I'm thinking you're dyspraxic. Deaf in one ear, colourblind. What helped me eyesight's going? That's nine, that's eight things. Jesus Christ.

• 7:56Speaker 03

  Then you can't count.

• 7:57Speaker 00

  Mood swings. I've got a bad gut. Honestly, it's 10 off the top of my head. What about you? There's no wrong with you. You're literally the most even keeled. I mean, a bit highly strung in and irritating at times, but other than that, who isn't?

• 8:15Speaker 03

  Anything else to get off the chairs?

• 8:17Speaker 00

  You're just, you're just...

• 8:18Speaker 02

  Oh, and I've got loads that's wrong with me.

• 8:19Speaker 00

  No, you haven't.

• 8:20Speaker 02

  I do, I do.

• 8:21Speaker 00

  What?

• 8:21Speaker 02

  Just that people don't see it because I sound like this.

• 8:24Speaker 00

  Oh, that's just bliss.

• 8:27Speaker 02

  It's not bliss.

• 8:28Speaker 00

  Anyway, how's your week, Ben?

• 8:29Speaker 02

  Yes, it's been fine in my perfect life.

• 8:32Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 8:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, it's been okay. Thank you. I tell you what, this has stayed with me since, well, we were a few months ago now, but since we were on holiday in Chicago. I went, one of my sort of perks, and we'd stayed in all this area before, same as where you stayed, there is a lot, one of my favourites, it's a chain across America, Levain Bakery, which, and they do just the most delicious cookies that you can have for, oh, but they've started serving them à la mode. And I thought, à la mode? And I've heard of it before, but...

• 9:02Speaker 00

  Who in my year at school?

• 9:04Speaker 02

  À la mode, I thought meant of, of the fashion. So if you were sort of dressed à la mode, it, that's what à la mode means. But in American dining, à la mode, for whatever reason, means with ice cream. So it's completely separate from what à la mode actually means. So I did a bit of research and basically, 100 years ago or so, they served, some restaurant somewhere, served a slice of pie, pie's very big in America, with ice cream. And it became fashionable to serve pie with ice cream, whereas previously it would have been cream or something, or on its own. And so it was fashionable to serve pie with ice cream. So they borrowed the French à la mode, meaning of the fashion or in the fashion of.

• 9:44Speaker 00

  Ah.

• 9:44Speaker 02

  And so if you go into America and you say, I'll have pie à la mode, it means pie with ice cream. And I think asking for any pudding, you know, crumble, or whatever we have here.

• 9:54Speaker 00

  À la mode?

• 9:54Speaker 02

  Sticky toffee pudding, à la mode. It's a bit chic.

• 9:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 9:57Speaker 02

  It sort of elevates it.

• 9:58Speaker 00

  I do prefer ice cream with my hot puddings.

• 10:00Speaker 02

  You call it à la mode.

• 10:01Speaker 00

  À la mode, Diego.

• 10:02Speaker 02

  I'll have, I'll have spotted dick à la mode.

• 10:04Speaker 00

  What's à la carte? I was getting mixed up with that. I've never heard of à la mode before you mentioned it today, by the way.

• 10:09Speaker 02

  À la carte, well, that was à la mode's brother.

• 10:11Speaker 00

  À la carte, what is that? That's like the menu, isn't it?

• 10:13Speaker 02

  That's the menu.

• 10:14Speaker 00

  What does it mean?

• 10:15Speaker 02

  Well, an à la carte menu is, it's not a set menu, it's the whole, it's the whole shebang. Most menus are à la carte in restaurants.

• 10:23Speaker 00

  What's al fresco? That's outside.

• 10:25Speaker 02

  Outside, that's different.

• 10:26Speaker 00

  Is there any other ales that we need to know when eating?

• 10:28Speaker 02

  Al dente?

• 10:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, what's that?

• 10:30Speaker 02

  Or al dente, as the relative calls it.

• 10:32Speaker 00

  What's al dente?

• 10:33Speaker 02

  Slightly got a bit of bite. So you want your vegetables and pasta, sort of, you don't want it's too flaccid and soft. Well, you might, but you want it with a little bit of...

• 10:41Speaker 00

  Crunch?

• 10:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:42Speaker 00

  Al dente?

• 10:43Speaker 03

  Al dente is Italian and it translates to, to the tooth.

• 10:48Speaker 00

  Yeah. Their pasta's a bit al dente.

• 10:51Speaker 03

  Slightly like chewy.

• 10:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you want pasta al dente.

• 10:54Speaker 00

  Oh, God.

• 10:54Speaker 02

  Generally. Italians would say you wanted to touch al dente.

• 10:57Speaker 00

  Did your mum ever used to throw it at the wall, see if it stuck? And it was ready to eat?

• 11:02Speaker 02

  No.

• 11:03Speaker 00

  That's, I stick it with me now.

• 11:05Speaker 02

  You can do that with spaghetti.

• 11:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, with spaghetti. When you say, throw it at the wall, she gets to throw it at the wall. If it's stuck, it was edible.

• 11:10Speaker 02

  No wonder she wanted a new kitchen. Covered, covered in pasta. Carbs running down there. What other ales are there that we could do? Al dente?

• 11:21Speaker 03

  Alan Carr.

• 11:22Speaker 02

  Alan Carr.

• 11:23Speaker 00

  What does that mean?

• 11:23Speaker 02

  Al Qaeda. Um, Al Jazeera, it's a news channel, what's a news channel, Middle East?

• 11:31Speaker 03

  Al Gore?

• 11:32Speaker 02

  Al Gore, yes.

• 11:33Speaker 03

  What does that mean?

• 11:34Speaker 02

  What do you mean, what does it mean? He's a person.

• 11:36Speaker 00

  Do you know, if he came president in two thousand, probably wouldn't have half the problems we'd have now with global warming. He was pushing it in two thousand, you know, he was saying if we don't, we're not watching DVD. Which by the way, it doesn't come in plastics, in cardboard, which I always found amazing. He was pushing that agenda in two thousand, in the nineties, he was saying, look, shit's gonna happen in twenty, thirty years if we don't get on it now.

• 12:00Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 12:01Speaker 00

  And it was the closest election ever, Bush beating.

• 12:04Speaker 02

  Or did he?

• 12:05Speaker 00

  It was Florida, I know, yeah, there you go, hey.

• 12:08Speaker 02

  So there we go, what's been going on with you?

• 12:10Speaker 00

  Well, I've had my chimney swept this week. Excuse me.

• 12:15Speaker 02

  What? I thought you were sitting better.

• 12:17Speaker 00

  And it was a massive, yeah, we'd get it done in Manchester usually, don't we? And it was a bit of a disappointment, I'm not gonna lie. Because of you, I was really looking forward to meeting my first ever chimney sweep. I've never met a chimney sweep before.

• 12:31Speaker 02

  Did they not, did they not do a whole dance?

• 12:33Speaker 00

  Well, I thought he's gonna knock on the door, he's gonna have at least a little necktie on, flat cap, waistcoat. I want him to be at least leaning, and I'll lean in and go.

• 12:42Speaker 02

  Oh, what, Mary?

• 12:43Speaker 00

  Oh, what, governor? I'm here to do your chimneys. And I was like, thinking he might have a little, when he come up the step, he might kick his heels or something.

• 12:50Speaker 02

  Kick his knees up, hmm.

• 12:52Speaker 00

  Yeah, just something, just, you know, what we all imagine a chimney sweep to. Turns up, didn't even have a brush, trackies.

• 13:00Speaker 02

  Didn't have a brush?

• 13:00Speaker 00

  Didn't have a brush.

• 13:01Speaker 02

  How did he do it?

• 13:02Speaker 00

  Trainers, and what's up, bro? I was like, well, this is, this has killed the illusion. No penguins.

• 13:11Speaker 02

  Well, no, no, no, no, stop, stop, stop.

• 13:14Speaker 00

  He didn't go up and dance on roof, no little orphan child with him.

• 13:18Speaker 02

  Well, that's not Poppins.

• 13:20Speaker 00

  With blue eyes and, do you know what? He didn't even have a bit of soot on his face. You'd think in Van, at least he'd go, hang on. Just put a bit of soot on, nothing.

• 13:29Speaker 02

  Like Mary Poppins does when she goes up on the roof.

• 13:31Speaker 00

  And do you know what? I think I've been done. He said, because I've only been there a year, so I thought I'm gonna light my fires this. Yeah, because I've got proper fires now, I want a gas one, but I've seen how much it is to get a gas fire fitted. Got to reshape your whole house. I'm gonna get some like wood, nice carbon friendly wood. He just went up.

• 13:49Speaker 02

  What, what's carbon friendly wood?

• 13:52Speaker 00

  What?

• 13:53Speaker 03

  Are you crashing?

• 13:54Speaker 00

  Yes, can you tell? It's been a very long week. Can you tell? Or don't, because I hate it when people can tell I'm tired.

• 14:02Speaker 03

  It was just, it was just, it was just the spiel was just an interesting one.

• 14:05Speaker 02

  The words were there, but not in the right place.

• 14:07Speaker 03

  I feel like what Jordan wanted was a chimney sweep stripper to turn up.

• 14:14Speaker 00

  I was deeply disappointed. And then he's charged, because I was like, basically.

• 14:19Speaker 02

  How much did he charge you?

• 14:20Speaker 00

  Well, he charged me a hundred and seventy quid, and he just.

• 14:22Speaker 02

  Per chimney or?

• 14:23Speaker 00

  He just went like a mechanic, he just went, ah, got the, got a torch, but not a, not like a chimney torch or.

• 14:28Speaker 02

  Did you turn his phone on?

• 14:29Speaker 00

  Just got his phone, I went, yeah, there, oh, what?

• 14:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's happening, yeah, he gets me, bro, yeah, they're fine. I was like, all right, just had a quick look. To be fair, he got some stuff out as well, but, yeah, it weren't like how we imagined.

• 14:43Speaker 02

  Right, can I just, just, just, just wheel back on, on the thing, on the tropes that you were saying, right, penguins, that is not.

• 14:49Speaker 00

  Oh, you won't let this go.

• 14:50Speaker 02

  That is not the chimney sweep scene.

• 14:50Speaker 00

  I want him to go up and meet next door's chimney sweep and have a little dance on the roof and stuff. Nothing, no, didn't even want a brew.

• 14:58Speaker 02

  Broken Britain.

• 14:59Speaker 00

  Exactly. What, what about the penguins?

• 15:02Speaker 02

  The penguins is the tea scene, okay, it's not the chimney sweep scene.

• 15:04Speaker 00

  Well, whatever, should get, nothing.

• 15:07Speaker 03

  The what?

• 15:07Speaker 02

  The chip, the penguins are in Jolly Holiday, where they have, they have tea in the, in the colourful cartoon park. Okay, they don't, the penguins are not involved on the rooftops of London.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  If we, if you're gonna do that, and also the orphan, that's Oliver.

• 15:21Speaker 00

  Well, whatever, there's a nanny next door, I was hoping he would end up shagging her, you know, just something like.

• 15:25Speaker 02

  Well, that also doesn't happen in Mary Poppins.

• 15:27Speaker 00

  They allude to it. They do not allude to it. Oh, come on, she were thirsty for Bert, come on, we all know it. And knickers down her ankles, mate. Oh, come off it, you've watched it how many times? They allude to it, there was something going on between them two.

• 15:40Speaker 02

  There is, there is a frisson.

• 15:42Speaker 00

  A frisson?

• 15:42Speaker 02

  Particularly in the stage play, but there is a frisson, you know, a little bit of je, je ne sais quoi.

• 15:47Speaker 00

  They were shagging. Have a day off, he was sneaking up, what do you think he's coming down a chimney for? Get away, they were shagging. Mary and Bert were shagging, come on.

• 15:59Speaker 03

  Surely you think that?

• 16:00Speaker 02

  It, it was Edwardian London, people did not shag.

• 16:04Speaker 00

  They did it back in them days. Do you know what? They loved it doggy then days. Where did I read that recently? It's like, was it the Victorians? One of them, the Victorians or Edwardians loved it doggy. There's not wrong with that if you do, same.

• 16:16Speaker 02

  Well, there used to be a rumour that Walla Simpson introduced blowjobs to the British courts.

• 16:21Speaker 00

  Hmm, really?

• 16:23Speaker 02

  Rumour.

• 16:24Speaker 03

  Do you think there's Mary Poppins and Bert fan fiction?

• 16:27Speaker 00

  Possibly.

• 16:28Speaker 03

  Surely.

• 16:29Speaker 00

  There's William and Jordan fan fiction, so I'm probably some.

• 16:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, I write most of it.

• 16:33Speaker 00

  So probably has some Mary Poppins.

• 16:35Speaker 02

  William reached for Jordan, his hands outstretched.

• 16:38Speaker 00

  Maybe we could do a modern day.

• 16:40Speaker 02

  No.

• 16:41Speaker 00

  Mary Poppins chimney sweep. Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim churu. Pop on the telly and we'll have a brew, chim chimney.

• 16:50Speaker 02

  Screw would have been funnier.

• 16:52Speaker 00

  Chim chimney, chim chim churu, I'll bend you over and we'll have a screw.

• 16:59Speaker 02

  This is why I write the songs on tour.

• 17:01Speaker 00

  Nothing, nothing.

• 17:04Speaker 03

  I'll bend you over, I'll bend you over and have a screw.

• 17:09Speaker 00

  Not even a neckerchief, just a bloke in trackies, I was very disappointed.

• 17:12Speaker 02

  If you're a professional in doing whatever, going to someone's house, don't wear a tracksuit, come on, at least wear jeans.

• 17:18Speaker 00

  I've invested in, now that I've got a, a butter dish, okay, I've invested in a, a sugar dish, is it a sugar bowl? It's a sugar bowl, but it's got a little lid on.

• 17:27Speaker 02

  A covered sugar pot.

• 17:28Speaker 00

  Yeah, now I keep me, I'm asking, I love it, I don't have sugar in my tea, but, um.

• 17:34Speaker 02

  Do you offer brown and white?

• 17:35Speaker 00

  Well, this is the thing, I've got cubes in there, is that okay?

• 17:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, you know, cubes are more sophisticated than granules.

• 17:40Speaker 00

  So, yeah, so I've got it, but no one's using it, because no one, like.

• 17:44Speaker 02

  Do you have tongs?

• 17:45Speaker 00

  No.

• 17:46Speaker 02

  You need to get tongs.

• 17:46Speaker 00

  So you get little sugar tongs?

• 17:48Speaker 02

  Tongs, so my tongs, we'll put a photo on the carousel of my sugar bowl and tongs.

• 17:52Speaker 00

  I'll put a picture of mine on there.

• 17:54Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 17:55Speaker 03

  People can vote for their favourite.

• 17:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 17:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:57Speaker 00

  Joe!

• 17:58Speaker 02

  Not here.

• 17:59Speaker 00

  Joe!

• 18:00Speaker 02

  Shab it louder, she's in Brighton.

• 18:02Speaker 00

  We're gonna put a picture of our sugar bowls. Yeah, our sugar bowls, don't ask, no, I know I've changed, we're gonna put them on the internet, on social media, on the carousel, and we want people to vote. Thanks. She was just on a cauldron, brewing up a poison for us.

• 18:21Speaker 02

  For us? It's not for us, love.

• 18:24Speaker 00

  Honestly, there's no one that scares me in this world as much as social Joe and my mum when she's had a drink.

• 18:34Speaker 02

  In my sugar bowl, it's white and brown, white for tea, brown for coffee.

• 18:38Speaker 00

  How do you separate the white from the brown in the same bowl?

• 18:40Speaker 02

  They all intermix.

• 18:41Speaker 00

  Oh, cubes?

• 18:43Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 18:43Speaker 00

  Oh, okay.

• 18:44Speaker 02

  It's not loose, no, no, no, it's not loose, it's cubes, yeah.

• 18:46Speaker 00

  Pick a grain, but did I, did I tell you, now, this sounds like a William Hanson statement, but then, I always, I, I've been saying that because I think it makes me sound really classy.

• 18:57Speaker 02

  Here we go.

• 18:57Speaker 00

  And really posh, Ben, what do you think of this? It sounds really posh, but I've, um.

• 19:02Speaker 02

  It sounds really what?

• 19:03Speaker 00

  It sounds really posh and classy.

• 19:05Speaker 02

  Okay, posh-y.

• 19:06Speaker 00

  I've got pantry moths.

• 19:12Speaker 00

  Done it?

• 19:15Speaker 00

  Say? Scott.

• 19:20Speaker 02

  Why are they only in your pantry?

• 19:21Speaker 00

  I've got pantry moths, I don't have a pantry, I have a big cupboard.

• 19:25Speaker 02

  Right, no, but pantry moth sounds nicer.

• 19:27Speaker 00

  Don't each sound pot, I thought about it, I thought, I'm gonna mention that to William, I've been overcome with pantry moths.

• 19:33Speaker 02

  Because you're not cleaning properly.

• 19:34Speaker 00

  I'm a, I'm a lof with pantry moths, so.

• 19:37Speaker 02

  The house is, you've run amok.

• 19:38Speaker 00

  I've run amok with pantry moths, so, oh, they've been a nightmare for two weeks, these moths, but the basis, because you've had open flour in a cupboard and they love that.

• 19:46Speaker 02

  You'll get more than moths if you do that.

• 19:48Speaker 00

  If they go in my bloody knitting, not knitting, my knitwear, I'll be annoyed, but yeah, I had to clean out my pantry cupboard the other day.

• 19:55Speaker 02

  To be fair, that's mostly manmade fibre, so you'll be fine.

• 19:58Speaker 00

  That's why I bought a sugar bowl, because I thought, right, because the sugar was open. Because I thought, right, I'll buy a sugar bowl and cover it, because I had.

• 20:05Speaker 02

  So the flour, which was attracting them, do you not have like containers for your flour?

• 20:09Speaker 00

  Nah, I don't like all that, I don't like those cereal things as well.

• 20:14Speaker 02

  Tupperware?

• 20:14Speaker 00

  That, those cereal things that people put cereal in.

• 20:17Speaker 02

  Tupperware?

• 20:18Speaker 00

  No, the cereal things that people put cereal in.

• 20:21Speaker 02

  Oh, like kiln jars?

• 20:22Speaker 00

  Yeah, the big, plastic things.

• 20:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, Tupperware.

• 20:26Speaker 00

  Is that Tupperware?

• 20:27Speaker 02

  Click and lock.

• 20:28Speaker 00

  Click.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  It's, it's, it's Tupperware's a brand.

• 20:29Speaker 03

  What you mean, you don't like, what, you just want it in the?

• 20:31Speaker 00

  Well, they get gammy after a while and stuff, don't they?

• 20:34Speaker 02

  You don't get pantry moths.

• 20:35Speaker 03

  I've got my granola in, in one of those.

• 20:38Speaker 00

  This is the most middle class conversation.

• 20:41Speaker 03

  Fascinating.

• 20:41Speaker 02

  Do you know, well, Ben got, Ben got a lot of stick for this on socials last week on his debut on our YouTube visually, uh, with the moth trap, which obviously attracted something else, didn't it?

• 20:53Speaker 03

  I got a lot of stick for that.

• 20:54Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:55Speaker 00

  I've got.

• 20:55Speaker 02

  Saying you were inhumane having sticky pads.

• 20:58Speaker 00

  Oh, bollocks.

• 20:58Speaker 03

  I didn't put.

• 21:00Speaker 00

  He didn't put it there, and I.

• 21:01Speaker 03

  Put it there?

• 21:02Speaker 00

  And can I just say?

• 21:03Speaker 02

  The moth trap?

• 21:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, I said that, it was in my flat.

• 21:06Speaker 00

  He said it was in his previous, so people jump on it.

• 21:08Speaker 02

  Well, it's your flat, you're responsible.

• 21:10Speaker 00

  Come at me, right, if you want, I've got moth traps, because my house is a lof with pantry moths and they're annoying. And I've tried everything to get them in, so what am I meant to do?

• 21:21Speaker 02

  My house is, I've run amok with pantry moths.

• 21:24Speaker 00

  Run amok with them, so what are you meant to do? Oh, now I'm gonna have fucking petter and everyone coming up, right, I won't, I'd be bad, I'd be bad.

• 21:32Speaker 02

  Well, I think they're.

• 21:33Speaker 00

  Moth traps.

• 21:34Speaker 02

  They're not great for mice, no, although I'd rather have a dead mouse.

• 21:38Speaker 00

  Moths, moths haven't got any brains, intelligence.

• 21:41Speaker 02

  Do you think in another life you were a moth?

• 21:43Speaker 00

  Fucking lights all the time, I'm on the most annoying, man. Oh, no, thank you. All right. Anyway, what else been going on with you?

• 21:53Speaker 02

  Can we talk about people who put, because I, from an etiquette point of view, you know, I'm all about modern etiquette and evolving it. People who, a couple of days, a week after you have messaged them, reply to your message with, and, but I'm absolutely just saying this is not levelled at anyone in particular, I promise you, "Sorry, just seen this."

• 22:15Speaker 00

  Oh god, that's literally half my life.

• 22:18Speaker 02

  I get it. Life is busy. We can't respond to every message when it comes in. I fully understand that, but we don't need to sort of be, it's like an over politeness correction of going through the motions of pretending you've just seen this, whereas actually what you want to say is, "I didn't read it at the time, I was busy." You don't need to pretend you've only just seen it. I think that makes it worse.

• 22:38Speaker 00

  I disagree, but what do you think you should say?

• 22:40Speaker 02

  Just respond. If I've gone, "Hi, do you want to come for dinner on Tuesday?" And you reply, three days later, just go, "Yes, I'd love to." I don't think you need to say-

• 22:48Speaker 00

  I think that would be a bit sorry.

• 22:49Speaker 02

  I don't, but I don't think you need to say sorry. Or you can say, "Sorry for the day I'm replying, but don't pretend you've only just seen the message, because you probably saw the message." I think it makes it worse that you're sort of thinking, "Oh, this person is going to not, this person is going to believe that I genuinely hasn't, haven't seen this message."

• 23:08Speaker 00

  What if you missed a call?

• 23:10Speaker 02

  Will you get a notification?

• 23:12Speaker 00

  Yeah, but then do you ring him back or do you text him? "I missed a call from Ben yesterday." I was being, I was, I don't make shit up.

• 23:20Speaker 02

  The pantry moths were attacking.

• 23:21Speaker 00

  No, it wasn't. It was worse. Mr Blobby and Louis Spence were fighting and Biggins was having a bit of, this is true. So I was with Biggins, Louis Spence and Mr Blobby.

• 23:35Speaker 02

  One more camp icon. It was, I was gonna push you over the edge.

• 23:38Speaker 00

  Ben decided to, I was filming something, it's a long story. And so then I always go, "Sorry, I missed your call." Because you even can click the option that says, "Sorry, I can't talk right now."

• 23:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, you can. Well, that's fine. But you just phone, again, it's a bit like you're, when you were saying about your mum, you do just ring back, "We are busy." Like, people are busy. That's fine. Just respond when you can. But I don't think we need to over-correct and sort of go through the motions, "Oh, sorry, I've only just seen this." No, of course you saw it. You just haven't, only now got the time to respond. So don't be overly polite. That's my take, huh?

• 24:10Speaker 00

  Before we move on, do you have pantry moths?

• 24:15Speaker 02

  No, because I clean and I keep my flour in containers.

• 24:17Speaker 00

  They're like nets, they go for clean hair, clean houses.

• 24:22Speaker 00

  Don't get jealous, because you haven't got pantry moths.

• 24:25Speaker 02

  I'm not.

• 24:25Speaker 00

  One day you'll have them. If you lived in my area of London, you'd definitely have pantry moths.

• 24:30Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 24:31Speaker 00

  We were a mock with pantry moths.

• 24:33Speaker 02

  A mock.

• 24:33Speaker 00

  A mock.

• 24:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:35Speaker 00

  All right.

• 24:36Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 24:36Speaker 00

  We're doing Etiquette Etymology of the Week?

• 24:38Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 24:39Speaker 00

  How classy, having pantry moths. Can imagine my mum telling everyone, "Yeah, there are, George. He's got pantry moths. Moths of the pantry." Yeah. How's your son? Is he still inside?

• 24:55Speaker 02

  Funnily enough, so does Jordan.

• 24:58Speaker 03

  Inside what?

• 24:59Speaker 00

  Don't spell the joke out! Do etiquette etymology.

• 25:05Speaker 02

  Right. Based on something that Mr Pantry Moth said recently.

• 25:11Speaker 00

  Pantry moth.

• 25:12Speaker 02

  We're going to talk about Little Lord Fauntleroy.

• 25:15Speaker 00

  Oh, great!

• 25:16Speaker 02

  After these messages.

• 25:17Speaker 00

  Fauntleroy.

• 25:22Speaker 01

  It's William, William, the etiquette geek. His knowledge, knowledge, is quite unique. He'll give you manners, manners, a subtle tweak. It's time for William's Etiquette Etymology Etymology Etymology of the Week. Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha.

• 26:42Speaker 02

  Lovely. So we're talking about Little Lord Fauntleroy.

• 26:44Speaker 00

  Fauntleroy.

• 26:45Speaker 02

  It's spelt F-A-U-N-T-L-E-R-O-Y. It's the title of a classic piece by the 19th century author Francis Hodgson Burnett, who also wrote which more famous book?

• 26:59Speaker 00

  Boyne's Shrek Pyjamas.

• 27:02Speaker 02

  No.

• 27:02Speaker 00

  No, that was John Boyne.

• 27:03Speaker 02

  Yes, and it's 19th century.

• 27:06Speaker 00

  Oh, don't, I'll get this. Treasure Island?

• 27:11Speaker 02

  No, no. Secret.

• 27:15Speaker 00

  Garden.

• 27:15Speaker 02

  Correct. Yes, well done.

• 27:17Speaker 00

  Is that that one with the boy that was always ill?

• 27:19Speaker 02

  Possibly. It's been a while since I've watched that.

• 27:21Speaker 00

  It's like your Mikey. A little sickly child that was always in bed. That was Secret Garden.

• 27:31Speaker 03

  That's a weird film.

• 27:32Speaker 02

  Don't, because that tyrotonositis is back.

• 27:35Speaker 00

  It's a weird film.

• 27:36Speaker 02

  Yeah. Written in 1886, the children's classic charts the story of Cedric Errol, an American child of modest means, who finds out he's an heir to a fortune and a British earldom. The name Fauntleroy was chosen after the French l'enfant le roi, meaning the child king. His look of curly blonde locks, a velvet suit and lace collar became an instant fashion in the UK and America, and that was known as the Fauntleroy suit.

• 28:04Speaker 00

  Was he real? No, it's a novel, isn't it?

• 28:05Speaker 02

  It's a novel. Many film and TV adaptations later were made of this, rags to riches story, keeping the name in people's minds. And so even today, the term Little Lord Fauntleroy is suggestive of a young boy who is excessively well behaved, overly polite and very neatly or fancily dressed. So there we go.

• 28:21Speaker 00

  He was a bit of a knob, wasn't he?

• 28:23Speaker 02

  I don't know if he was a knob.

• 28:24Speaker 00

  No, he was. He turned into a bit of a knobhead.

• 28:26Speaker 02

  Did he? Again, years since I've read it.

• 28:29Speaker 00

  What are you doing next week? Dick Turpin?

• 28:32Speaker 02

  It'll be in a fortnight. And I can if you want me to.

• 28:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, Dick Turpin.

• 28:37Speaker 02

  No, I'm not doing Dick.

• 28:38Speaker 00

  Dick Turpin wore a mask. All right. What? Because that's what it's just saying, isn't it? They go, "All right, little lord."

• 28:45Speaker 02

  But why would I?

• 28:47Speaker 00

  And then you go, "Oh, Dick Turpin wore a mask."

• 28:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, but why would I? What's the etiquette of Dick Turpin?

• 28:52Speaker 00

  What's the etiquette of half of your etiquette etymologies? If you, if you ask me, it should be William's history lesson.

• 29:00Speaker 02

  Where's the comedy in most of your jokes of the week?

• 29:04Speaker 00

  Excuse me, my jokes of the week have been very good of late, can I just say? They've been really good.

• 29:10Speaker 02

  They've been amazing.

• 29:11Speaker 00

  You with the face and the boobs. What, what do they call you? What is your name?

  Gen Z is it? Gen Z is it? This champagne is quite warm darling.

• 30:41Speaker 02

  You can have some of my lady petrol if you like.

  I would rather, how could I say this? I would rather one licks their own arse darling. I will not be drinking that, not after the tour, you made me try it. It was fine for emergencies, but I drink champagne darling. Champagne, champagne, champagne, and it must be ice cold darling. We got quite into carrot today, didn't we?

• 31:45Speaker 00

  Now it's time for your questions and dilemmas. What have you got for us, please?

• 31:48Speaker 02

  Okay, this is from Meg. Hello to everyone at Help I Sex with My Boss HQ. I have a little bit of a dilemma I'm hoping you can help me with. I'll be turning 30 at the end of September and I've decided to have a party with all my family and friends there. My partner has taken over the party planning duties to ensure that I have a stress-free time in the run-up to my birthday. And the only thing they've asked me to do in preparation for the party is make a playlist of music that I like to be played throughout the night. I have quite an eclectic music taste and my song choices can be diverse and span many genres. You could give me any genre of music and I'll be able to name a handful of artists I like from it. So here's my dilemma. Do I choose the music that I enjoy and I know will put me in the party mood? Or should I try to be considerate of what my guests will like and consider their taste when planning my playlist?

• 32:33Speaker 02

  I know I'm probably thinking about this too deeply, but I don't want to appear selfish or create the wrong kind of atmosphere for everyone. I have considered asking my partner to ask our guests to make one song request each and there's something that everyone can enjoy. Any advice you can give on how to tackle my musical dilemma would be greatly appreciated. Lots of love, Meg.

• 32:49Speaker 00

  Meg, bit of both. What you love and what everybody else loves, mix them together and before you know it, you'll be doing Doncaster Races.

• 32:56Speaker 02

  But what happens if Meg is really into Duddy Grime? And everyone else is into musicals? They're not gonna marry up together?

• 33:06Speaker 00

  Well, you can do a bit of everything. Just go for mainstream, like.

• 33:13Speaker 02

  Just Mr. Brightside.

• 33:15Speaker 00

  Mr. Brightside, you can't go wrong. When people are pissed, they'll, well, honestly, put Agadu on, Black Lace. Have they been cancelled?

• 33:23Speaker 02

  Meg, when we're telling you to put Black Lace on, don't send us a picture in a negligee. That's not what we mean. It's an artist.

• 33:32Speaker 02

  Do Pushma and Apple.

• 33:33Speaker 00

  Honestly, when people are pissed at a wedding, they'll dance to it. So don't overthink it, just proper, just even Google wedding songs.

• 33:40Speaker 02

  Well, it's not her wedding, it's her 30th.

• 33:42Speaker 00

  Oh shit, whatever got wedding for them. Oh, if it's your 30th, oh, oh, it's what you're into.

• 33:49Speaker 02

  Well.

• 33:49Speaker 00

  No, no, it's a bit of a, bit of both. It's a bit of both.

• 33:52Speaker 02

  Regardless of what genre.

• 33:53Speaker 00

  Sorry, I thought she said wedding.

• 33:54Speaker 02

  Regardless of what genre or who picks it, ideally at a party, you have music, there is music to begin with when guests are arriving and there are like one or two people there just to sort of mask the fact it's quiet. After that, and I speak from my own experience from a recent luxury soiree, you should not really hear the music because guests should be chatting and laughing. That is the soundtrack. If guests are going, oh, I love this song, it means they're not paying attention to the guests and they're focusing on the music, which ultimately doesn't matter.

• 34:21Speaker 00

  Completely disagree. Music's so important, even at a house party.

• 34:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, to set the tone.

• 34:26Speaker 00

  I think all three points you've made there, what you love, what everyone else loves, and then maybe get them to suggest some songs and you'll be buzzing.

• 34:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, but if, again, if you're sitting at a party and you're sitting there going, oh, what's this song? Oh yeah, no, I like this song. Oh, this was my song. Who wants to go to a party to sort of sit there and sort of worry about the music? Chat to the people. Talk, enjoy, drink.

• 34:49Speaker 00

  Fleetwood Mac on for mums as well.

• 34:51Speaker 02

  Eat, drink, be merry.

• 34:52Speaker 00

  I tell you what they love as well, that. I was working as a waitress. I've still got me mum's 60 playlist.

• 34:58Speaker 02

  Which one's that?

• 34:59Speaker 00

  I did one for me mum.

• 35:00Speaker 02

  Don't You Want Me Baby, Human League.

• 35:01Speaker 00

  Do you wanna see it? Look, it's called, I'll find it, hang on. It's called Wendy's Playlist. She went with you?

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Please can I read out some of the songs?

• 35:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, of course you can.

• 35:10Speaker 02

  Because these would be hilarious.

• 35:12Speaker 00

  Will you do me a playlist for my birthday party? Wendy's 60th, there you go.

• 35:18Speaker 02

  Gosh, you've had this playlist on your, no.

• 35:22Speaker 02

  Saw my life flash before me.

• 35:25Speaker 02

  Mackwood Fleet, ABBA, Simply Red. The Nicotine Dolls.

• 35:31Speaker 00

  I put the wrong best in.

• 35:34Speaker 02

  Oh, you meant to put in Simply the Best, Tina Turner.

• 35:37Speaker 00

  Listen to this version of it though, I don't know if you can play it. It's beautiful.

• 35:42Speaker 00

  It's a beaut, have you heard this?

• 35:45Speaker 00

  It's called Nic, play it.

• 35:46Speaker 02

  Well, how long are we meant to play?

• 35:47Speaker 00

  Just play a bit, that was the best bit. Listen.

• 35:56Speaker 00

  I put the wrong one in.

• 35:56Speaker 02

  It's good though.

• 35:57Speaker 00

  It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful cover, Nicotine Dolls are called.

• 36:00Speaker 02

  Billy Joel.

• 36:01Speaker 00

  Billy Joel, what, Billy Joel is it?

• 36:02Speaker 02

  Um, Piano Man.

• 36:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, she likes that one.

• 36:05Speaker 02

  Ah, La Fille de la Bonita.

• 36:07Speaker 00

  Poor Madonna, she likes Madonna. Should be more Madonna in there.

• 36:12Speaker 02

  M People.

• 36:13Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:13Speaker 02

  Whitney.

• 36:14Speaker 00

  Whitney, oh god, yeah.

• 36:15Speaker 02

  Shaka Khan. This only lasted one hour, 52 minutes, 27 songs.

• 36:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, what else?

• 36:21Speaker 02

  Good song this one.

• 36:23Speaker 00

  Oh, Shaka Khan.

• 36:24Speaker 02

  Shaka Shaka Khan.

• 36:25Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 36:25Speaker 02

  Lovely.

• 36:26Speaker 00

  There you go.

• 36:26Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 36:27Speaker 00

  So I did it.

• 36:28Speaker 02

  Well, I still think you don't wanna really be listening and paying too much attention to the music at a good party.

• 36:34Speaker 00

  Oh, Billy Ocean. Red light spells danger.

• 36:41Speaker 00

  Thumba undress.

• 36:42Speaker 02

  You should see our studio.

• 36:42Speaker 00

  What's that one you play on Capital All Time like?

• 36:45Speaker 02

  Sabrina.

• 36:46Speaker 00

  No, it's Thumba, I like him, put some of that on.

• 36:50Speaker 02

  This is from Nate. Dear Sexed Team, I was raised in a family that considers dressing up an absolute must when going to the theatre. Oh, Clu, theatre is spelt E R, not R E, so he's either American.

• 37:00Speaker 00

  Or thick.

• 37:06Speaker 00

  I can say I'm dyslexic.

• 37:10Speaker 02

  It's a place of culture, you must dress appropriately, you get the gist. So you can imagine my bafflement when intending to go change from my day's clothing into something more formal or appropriate for the theatre visit. I got told by my friends that it's fine, it's only a musical.

• 37:27Speaker 02

  So what is the dressing etiquette when you're going to a musical as opposed to any other kind of theatre performance? I'm really not a musical enjoyer usually.

• 37:37Speaker 02

  So maybe I'm missing something and the occasion really does allow for more casual clothing. Greetings from the Swiss Alps.

• 37:43Speaker 00

  Ah.

• 37:44Speaker 02

  East Swiss.

• 37:45Speaker 00

  That explains a lot.

• 37:46Speaker 02

  Nate. Switzerland, home of theatre.

• 37:50Speaker 00

  Do you dress up for the theatre?

• 37:53Speaker 02

  Oh, who said it's theatre?

• 37:54Speaker 00

  The theatre.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  Uh, yes, I make a bit of an effort. I don't, you know, I don't wear black tie or like they used to do back in the day or a suit, but I don't go in jogging bottoms, like not chimney sweep.

• 38:05Speaker 00

  See, this is, I think.

• 38:06Speaker 02

  Even if I'm watching a play about chimney sweeps.

• 38:08Speaker 00

  I would dress up for theatre or a show, but I would, I dress up for everything because it's the working class, don't you? I've talked about this before, like even to go to the pub, I'd make sure I had something half decent on. I don't know if it's weird, it might be my family thing. We all make sure we're, apart from Brad's, we all make sure we're smart. So I'd wear something smart.

• 38:30Speaker 02

  But what do you consider, because I think that's trouble people, what I consider smart and what someone else considers smart.

• 38:35Speaker 00

  That's, it's all different. I personally wouldn't wear light jeans, I'd wear like dark jeans or some trousers, like a.

• 38:41Speaker 02

  But would you wear jeans?

• 38:42Speaker 00

  I'd wear jeans, yeah, I'd wear jeans, but it depends what type. Wouldn't wear what Ben was wearing right now for the theatre. But it doesn't matter, does it? Anyway, so do you, in answer to Nate.

• 38:53Speaker 03

  Why are you looking at me like that, William?

• 38:55Speaker 02

  Well, you could wear it for, that's got Southwark Playhouse written all over it. You could wear it there.

• 39:04Speaker 00

  You'd definitely go and watch a one woman show or one man show and that. You know, where they turn around and they play a Chris.

• 39:12Speaker 02

  That's got Soho Theatre Walthamstow written all over it.

• 39:14Speaker 00

  There you go.

• 39:15Speaker 03

  It does.

• 39:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:16Speaker 00

  Have you ever been to a one person show?

• 39:18Speaker 02

  Have I ever been to a one person show? No, neither of you, because I did one and you didn't come.

• 39:24Speaker 00

  No, not like that, I mean like improv or a play.

• 39:26Speaker 02

  No. Oh, I probably have actually, yeah, it's not for me.

• 39:30Speaker 00

  So I think, do you think you should dress up accordingly?

• 39:33Speaker 02

  Yes, you want to make a bit of an effort, yeah. If you're wearing the same clothes that you, I'm assuming, let's assume you're going to an evening performance, not a matinee, you want to change before you go.

• 39:41Speaker 00

  Even if I'm going out on Sunday morning, like to get a coffee or I'd still make sure I'm like half decent then. I wouldn't just, some states people tip up.

• 39:53Speaker 03

  I was actually extremely close to coming to today's recording in trackies for the first time ever.

• 39:58Speaker 00

  You've worn trackies before.

• 39:59Speaker 02

  We've just given you a camera. The day you turn up in track suits, we will take away your camera.

• 40:03Speaker 00

  He's worn trackies before.

• 40:05Speaker 02

  Has he?

• 40:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, because I copied them Puma ones he had years ago.

• 40:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, but that was years ago. That was when we used to record in William's spare room.

• 40:13Speaker 02

  We've round the kitchen table. This is from anonymous. Hello, William, Jordan and the Sexed Gang. My birthday is in the middle of August and I'm yet to receive my present from my friends. Is it bad to get asked for the present? I'm honestly not that upset about not having a present from them. And yet you've written in. But I know that one of them has it, but hasn't yet given it to me. For context, we also don't live that far apart. Do I need to get over myself? Kind regards, anonymous. Yes, you do.

• 40:37Speaker 00

  I mean, being a bit less harsh, there might be a reason why they've not given it yet, so.

• 40:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, they hate you.

• 40:42Speaker 00

  You probably can't ask for it, they might have changed their mind or.

• 40:45Speaker 02

  Or realised you've already got it.

• 40:47Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 40:48Speaker 02

  Gone.

• 40:48Speaker 00

  Could be a reason, just let it go.

• 40:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:50Speaker 00

  Let it go.

• 40:51Speaker 02

  The more fashion.

• 40:52Speaker 00

  Never expect a present.

• 40:53Speaker 02

  No. Well, I don't from you. No, it's a joke. You always, you sent me that lovely great big thing of chocolate, which I've demolished in quite a short space of time.

• 41:02Speaker 00

  You've got your candles. From last year's housewarming.

• 41:06Speaker 02

  Well, it was housewarming, not my birthday, but yes, yeah.

• 41:10Speaker 00

  Okay, now we can't do right.

• 41:11Speaker 02

  I thought we're on birthdays, we're on birthdays.

• 41:13Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 41:14Speaker 02

  And that lovely big card, which is there, behind me, which is gorgeous. I told you that the sort of the flowers and the big card turned up and I went, this is from Jordan. I just knew.

• 41:25Speaker 00

  Moonpig.com. Funky Pichin.com, just to, because no one's paid us for either, so. Instaprint.com. There you go.

• 41:34Speaker 02

  That's another one.

• 41:35Speaker 00

  There you are.

• 41:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, anonymous, I don't think you can say anything.

• 41:39Speaker 00

  No, I don't think so either.

• 41:40Speaker 02

  Yes, it's annoying, especially if you know they've got you something, but you just need to suck it up.

• 41:43Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 41:43Speaker 02

  Part for an adult, part for being an adult. This is from Stacy. Hi, William, Jordan and all of the gang. Today's my son Nathaniel's 12th birthday. I've got three boys, so I know how Wendy feels.

• 41:56Speaker 02

  I don't know if that's meant to be. Bitch, it's very funny.

• 42:04Speaker 00

  It wasn't. It's just how your mind works. Wendy has four boys.

• 42:09Speaker 02

  And after receiving a card in the post addressed to Master N, we got on to the discussion of when does a boy go from master to mister? Oh my God, I'm literally jizzing in my pants. Some sites.

• 42:23Speaker 00

  Did you just hear that?

• 42:25Speaker 02

  What?

• 42:26Speaker 00

  The Wally Mansum from three, four years ago would never have said that. Amazing.

• 42:30Speaker 02

  I'm beyond caring. Um, some sites say 18 and the legal age of adulthood. Some take a public school approach and say 12. I thought if anyone knew the answer, it'd be William. So I look forward to hearing your definitive answer. Stacy in Birmingham. You are right. Basically, when traditionally a boy, a boy, a child boy would be master Jordan North when you were 12, 13. And until you become of age. Now, obviously in Britain, it's a bit weird because at certain things, it's 16, certain things it's 17, certain things it's 18. 16 is, 16, 17 is generally where we, one for the kids, is where we would call it. However, you call a 15 year old master. It's not

• 43:15Speaker 02

  going to go down well. So no, I would say 12 is probably where you then go to mister.

• 43:20Speaker 00

  Do you remember getting mail when you were younger and it was master Jordan North? Yeah, when you opened a bank account or something?

• 43:26Speaker 03

  You can't, you can't get called master that much anymore. Like you, it was only on a letter.

• 43:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:31Speaker 03

  You're not getting many letters, are you?

• 43:33Speaker 00

  Sorry for anyone with a-

• 43:34Speaker 02

  I get loads of letters.

• 43:35Speaker 03

  Not at 12.

• 43:36Speaker 00

  I'm gonna say it while thinking it. Sorry for anyone with a surname Bates.

• 43:40Speaker 02

  Not sure we were all thinking it, but yeah.

• 43:42Speaker 00

  We were. We were.

• 43:44Speaker 02

  Mr. Bates isn't, well, the post office. Hmm.

• 43:49Speaker 00

  Oh yes, he would have been masturbates when he was younger.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  He would have been. What do you think was a bigger problem in his life? The post office scandal or being masturbates?

• 43:57Speaker 00

  Possibly masturbates for the first few years.

• 44:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 44:01Speaker 02

  Puts it in perspective.

• 44:02Speaker 00

  That's probably what made him so determined to take on the establishment.

• 44:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:07Speaker 00

  From having that turmoil as a child of being masturbates. And then he went to mister Bates.

• 44:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:15Speaker 00

  For, I'll bring his down.

• 44:18Speaker 02

  Uh, so Stacy, thank you. I love that question.

• 44:20Speaker 00

  It was a good question.

• 44:21Speaker 02

  Yeah. Um, this is from anonymous. Dear William Jordan and the Sexton team. I've been talking to a guy for quite a few months and we get along incredibly well. I was thinking of asking him out on a date, but there is just one problem. He has the same name of one of my brothers. Would either of you find this off-putting? Do you have any advice? Lots of love, anonymous. No, if, if you like him, it's fine. If it's an unusual name like, and like Balthazar, yeah, I can, I get it.

• 44:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, I, I honestly don't think it's, and it's not an issue. I know loads of people though.

• 44:54Speaker 02

  Like they could have the same name as your parent.

• 44:56Speaker 00

  Yeah, that happens.

• 44:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:58Speaker 00

  That happens. I've got a friend whose wife's called Emma and his missus, and he's-

• 45:03Speaker 02

  And his mistress is called Emma. It's very convenient.

• 45:06Speaker 00

  So that's, that's gonna happen. Names are common. Is that, who sent that in?

• 45:11Speaker 02

  Anonymous.

• 45:12Speaker 00

  Yeah, it won't be an issue.

• 45:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, you've just got to, like, it's a name. Uh.

• 45:18Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's a name.

• 45:20Speaker 02

  Yeah. And also you'll probably, if it, if it goes in the right direction and you become an item, you're probably going to have a pet name for them or like call them darling or angel or love. So you're probably actually then going to stop using their name.

• 45:30Speaker 00

  Yeah. And if you call your sibling that, that's when there's a few. Like, did your mum and dad ever call you darling boy?

• 45:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's well, that's so posh. Darling boy. It was on The Gentleman the other day, but it's in spare as well, Prince Harry's book. The parents-

• 45:48Speaker 02

  Well, showing affection.

• 45:49Speaker 00

  Proper posh kids.

• 45:50Speaker 03

  Now that you've got pantry moths, maybe you should.

• 45:53Speaker 00

  Be called darling boy. Proper posh parents. Say, oh, my darling boy. Oh, how are you darling boy? Yeah.

• 46:01Speaker 02

  It's just showing affection. It's actually quite normal and healthy.

• 46:04Speaker 00

  Is it?

• 46:05Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 46:05Speaker 00

  Did you get called darling boy?

• 46:07Speaker 03

  No.

• 46:07Speaker 00

  No?

• 46:08Speaker 02

  Well, no, that's understandable.

• 46:09Speaker 03

  Maybe, maybe.

• 46:10Speaker 00

  I didn't get called darling. Sweetheart.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:13Speaker 00

  When I was younger.

• 46:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that sounds sarcastic. That's, that's in the same wheelhouse as riveting.

• 46:17Speaker 00

  No, it's not.

• 46:18Speaker 02

  You're right sweetheart.

• 46:19Speaker 00

  No, I'm like, come here sweetheart.

• 46:21Speaker 02

  Okay, that, if you say it like that, it's fine.

• 46:23Speaker 00

  Sweetheart.

• 46:25Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 46:26Speaker 00

  Anyway.

• 46:26Speaker 02

  Shall I call you darling boy? Would you like that?

• 46:30Speaker 00

  Weirdly, yes.

• 46:31Speaker 02

  Hmm, thought you would.

• 46:32Speaker 00

  Now that I've got pantry moths, I am a darling boy. Thank you for your questions and dilemmas. Remember you can listen to new episodes every Tuesday and Friday, or even join us tomorrow for an exclusive Help I Sextoned My Boss Out of Office episode, ooh, on Patreon. We'll see you soon. Goodbye.
