Pod Insights Joe Marler Will See You Now Prue Leith: Getting Old, Getting Flirty & Going to a S*X PARTY About this episode Prue Leith arrives at Joe’s office with a clear mission: to prove that getting older doesn’t mean slowing down.
As she promotes her new book Getting Old, the pair explore her evolving mindset on ageing, from whether she’s ever feared it, to how she’s continued to embrace new experiences well into later life.
Along the way, Prue shares stories from a life lived fully - including an unexpected experience at an orgy - offers some honest opinions on fashion (including Joe and Jake’s), and keeps Joe on his toes with a mischievous, flirtatious edge.
The session builds to a Bake Off-inspired finale, as Joe challenges Prue to try something completely new: taste-testing some of Britain’s most iconic bakes…
Featuring Joe Marler (@joemarler17) and Jake Bhardwaj (@jakebhardwajtv)

Transcript 0:00 Speaker 00 Ugh, I hate Mondays.
0:01 Speaker 01 King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite?
0:03 Speaker 00 Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.
0:09 Speaker 02 Hey, let's get back to work, please.
0:10 Speaker 00 But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.
0:15 Speaker 02 Taylor Hansen? Nice.
0:17 Speaker 01 Try one.
0:18 Speaker 02 Mmm.
0:22 Speaker 03 King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.
0:30 Speaker 03 You would poo in someone else's house?
0:32 Speaker 04 Well, in the loo, yes.
0:34 Speaker 05 When someone says you haven't got any trousers on, it implies that I'm in my underwear.
0:38 Speaker 04 All mouth and no trousers.
0:40 Speaker 05 I see how today's gonna go already.
0:42 Speaker 04 A rise, Sir Joe, and you are a knight. I think you'd have to wear trousers.
0:48 Speaker 05 I'm not fucking doing it then.
0:50 Speaker 04 It's my only orgy I've ever been in.
0:54 Speaker 05 I worry that you won't take me seriously anymore if I keep these on for the rest of the session.
0:59 Speaker 04 Joe, I hate to tell you, but I'm not taking you seriously, ever.
1:08 Speaker 05 Hello, welcome to my office. This is Joe Marler, we'll see you now, with me, Dr. Joe Marler. This is the show where I unfold the mind map of celebrity psychology and step right in. With me, as always, is my trusty research assistant, Jake. Hello, Jake. Hello, Joe. Why are you still doing this? Please, please, I have some authority in this office. What's up? It's on this, Doctor. That gives me automatic authority. It's hard to have authority when you call it a hophis. A hophis. I didn't think you would pick up on that, because I said- It's not what I'm going to do, it's the only thing I can do. Shit. Why can't I say hello properly?
1:52 Speaker 05 No, you do, it's gorgeous. Hello. Ah, you're doing it, Ken. I was watching Artemis 2 go to the dark side of the moon. Yeah, sure you were. Lose contact with Houston Control for 40 minutes, and I was thinking, what if they came back round victorious and just said, "Hello? Hello? Artemis 2, here?"
2:12 Speaker 01 Um, Joe, we went to the moon.
2:14 Speaker 05 Who?
2:15 Speaker 01 She, mankind?
2:17 Speaker 05 Oh, we're all one now, aren't we?
2:19 Speaker 01 Oh god, here we go.
2:20 Speaker 05 I thought we were all fucking separate and fighting this battle, fighting that battle. Everyone's fucking hating everyone.
2:25 Speaker 01 But, but, but, hang on.
2:25 Speaker 05 But apparently when we go to the moon, we're all one.
2:28 Speaker 01 But don't say it sarcastically, because that in itself is the beautiful thing about something like this. People, you know, you, you, people look at the world from the, the viewpoint of the moon, they think, my gosh, why are we fighting?
2:40 Speaker 05 Yeah, I mean, if that, if it was happening, that would be a lovely way to do it.
2:44 Speaker 01 You don't think it happened?
2:45 Speaker 05 No way.
2:45 Speaker 01 You don't think there's Artemis 2 things happened?
2:47 Speaker 05 No, I think the news headlines are happening, yeah.
2:50 Speaker 01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:51 Speaker 05 But that's to distract us from all the other shit.
2:53 Speaker 01 So you, do you think we ever landed on the moon?
2:55 Speaker 05 No.
2:55 Speaker 01 No, Joe!
2:58 Speaker 05 Where's the proof? If the burden of proof is with you believers.
3:02 Speaker 01 I, I just think because obviously they, they, they went and the, the, the proof, I guess, was the, the live, the live broadcast.
3:10 Speaker 05 Oh yeah.
3:10 Speaker 01 The people who
3:12 Speaker 05 Sure.
3:12 Speaker 01 Went and then came back and said, look, we went.
3:14 Speaker 05 Right.
3:14 Speaker 01 The, the thousands of people involved in, in, in the science and the, the, the project getting off the ground. You're really thinking that nothing happened then?
3:23 Speaker 05 Well, how, how, how? They didn't even have a fucking iPhone back then.
3:31 Speaker 05 Authority!
3:34 Speaker 05 Authority! Authority!
3:37 Speaker 01 You mean to tell me that all those people were sat in, in, in the NASA, NASA office? Saying, how are we gonna get them to the moon?
3:45 Speaker 05 Oh god.
3:47 Speaker 01 Would you go? Would you go in the space shuttle? Would you fit?
3:52 Speaker 01 No, I'm just...
3:54 Speaker 05 Oh, it gets worse every time!
3:57 Speaker 01 It's a tight squeeze.
3:58 Speaker 05 Oh.
3:59 Speaker 01 It's a very tight squeeze. I get very claustrophobic with these sorts of things.
4:02 Speaker 05 So do I, mate. Yeah, I had a panic attack at Tully's farm.
4:04 Speaker 01 When they talked about the fact that they were stuck in that tiny little capsule, but not only that, you'd have to go round the back of the moon and just be completely on your own. I think about that scene where George Clooney floated into space at the end of Gravity. Spoiler alert, sorry. And I just think there's nothing more terrifying than that. Not having it, disgusting. So, Joe? To introduce the next guest, I'm gonna give you a little clue. Go into your drawer, you will find something to wear on your face.
4:27 Speaker 05 This is tough, innit?
4:28 Speaker 01 Not that, that's Michael Ball's ponybag.
4:33 Speaker 01 Aha! Look at the camera, let's have a look at ya. Gorgeous!
4:39 Speaker 05 Wow!
4:39 Speaker 01 Look at those, hey, how are ya?
4:41 Speaker 05 Look at yours, what is yours?
4:43 Speaker 01 It's hard to sort of see what's going on.
4:44 Speaker 05 What is yours?
4:45 Speaker 01 I don't know. I sort of was given, got what I was given.
4:51 Speaker 01 I sort of looked like permanently downhearted about some things.
4:55 Speaker 05 Did yours, uh, I think you can open yours. You can open them.
4:59 Speaker 01 What do you mean?
5:01 Speaker 05 The flap on the bottom looks like...
5:03 Speaker 01 There's a hinge! There's a hinge!
5:10 Speaker 01 There's a, now I feel like Neil Armstrong. Discovering new things, there's a hinge!
5:15 Speaker 05 He didn't discover it.
5:16 Speaker 01 Um, wow. These glasses are an indication as to who we've got.
5:21 Speaker 05 Did yours?
5:23 Speaker 01 We have.
5:24 Speaker 05 I'm a rocket man, that's why you were talking about the moon?
5:26 Speaker 01 No, imagine if we...
5:27 Speaker 05 I'm a rocket man! This is...
5:32 Speaker 01 Elton John is not coming anywhere near this podcast.
5:35 Speaker 05 Take yours off. Take yours off. Oh, it's just the glasses, is it?
5:39 Speaker 01 Nice, not a nice.
5:40 Speaker 05 It's the nose as well.
5:41 Speaker 01 We have got an author, a culinary legend, a presenter, a fashionista, someone who may even be able to tell us about what it was like when the first moon landing definitely happened. It is Prue Leith, everybody!
5:54 Speaker 05 Prue Leith!
5:55 Speaker 01 Prue Leith, Prue Leith, Prue Leith, Prue Leith! Or... Prue... Do you think you are, do you think you are?
6:10 Speaker 05 First one was better. Definitely the first one.
6:13 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's convenient that, isn't it? Because the second one's the one I absolutely fucking went for. Second one's the one I gave everything to, to silence. Ah!
6:23 Speaker 05 Definitely the first one.
6:27 Speaker 01 Janet. It's not on Prue's world.
6:31 Speaker 01 Finished? Yep.
6:33 Speaker 05 Janet, my love, could you please send Prue Leith in?
6:40 Speaker 01 And in the time that she takes to come in, let's take these off, shall we? Good idea.
6:46 Speaker 05 Prue Leith, everybody!
6:47 Speaker 01 Hey!
6:48 Speaker 05 Welcome, welcome.
6:53 Speaker 04 So.
6:54 Speaker 05 Jake. Why are you still sat down, mate?
6:57 Speaker 01 I'm stood up, mainly because of the camera angles, they can't see me. It's sort of now, they're just gonna see my crotch, but I'm stood.
7:03 Speaker 05 It's a fucking dame.
7:04 Speaker 01 For the audio listener, I'm stood for Prue Leith. I've just bowed as well.
7:08 Speaker 05 Okay, excellent, please, yes, please, welcome.
7:10 Speaker 01 Your Majesty.
7:11 Speaker 05 No, not Majesty.
7:14 Speaker 04 No, no, not that bad.
7:16 Speaker 05 Welcome, Prue.
7:17 Speaker 04 Hi, Joe.
7:18 Speaker 05 Did Janet look after you outside?
7:20 Speaker 04 Janet is great. I'm a bit nervous she's not here anymore.
7:24 Speaker 05 Oh.
7:25 Speaker 04 Where's she gone? What have you done to her?
7:27 Speaker 05 Well, no, she doesn't, she doesn't, she doesn't come in. She stays out because she has lots of work to do, doesn't she, Jake?
7:32 Speaker 01 She does everything other than the podcast. She does the accounting, she does the sort of operational stuff, she's got a lot of health and safety. She's HR as well.
7:39 Speaker 05 She makes coffees that then, like, she has there for you.
7:42 Speaker 04 She's also really nice to the guests.
7:43 Speaker 05 Yes.
7:44 Speaker 04 That's why I need her.
7:45 Speaker 05 She's, oh, she, are you worried that we wouldn't be nice?
7:47 Speaker 04 No, no, I mean, why haven't you got any trousers on, for a start?
7:52 Speaker 01 For the audio listener, Joe has no trousers on.
7:54 Speaker 05 No, no, no, that's not, that needs correction, please.
7:58 Speaker 01 Well, I don't think there's anything factually incorrect about what Prue said, you have no trousers on.
8:01 Speaker 05 Just some context to it. When someone says you haven't got any trousers on, it implies that I'm in my underwear.
8:07 Speaker 04 All mouth and no trousers.
8:12 Speaker 05 I can, I see how today's gonna go already.
8:14 Speaker 01 Well, I'm interested, though, because Prue is one of the rare guests, oh, sorry, this sounds like I'm slagging off the other guests. I was gonna say, Prue's one of the rare guests that seems to know fashion. Um, sorry, Michael Ball, sorry, Michael Ball. Um, but Prue knows her fashion, I'm intrigued to know, what do you think of Joe's, um, consistent commitment to shorts?
8:31 Speaker 04 I've never seen him not with shorts, but then you mostly only see the top of you.
8:37 Speaker 05 What?
8:38 Speaker 04 But you have got.
8:40 Speaker 01 Prue's bending under the desk to have a little look what's going on.
8:42 Speaker 04 I'm just having a look. Um, you have got boots on or shoes on.
8:46 Speaker 05 Sure.
8:47 Speaker 04 And socks.
8:47 Speaker 05 Yeah.
8:48 Speaker 04 And then nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
8:51 Speaker 05 Fuck.
8:52 Speaker 01 Prue's just had a glimpse of a soggy bottom.
8:57 Speaker 05 First thing I ask every guest to do is to fill out the intake questionnaire.
9:01 Speaker 04 Mm hmm.
9:02 Speaker 05 Are you, are you prepared to begin?
9:03 Speaker 04 Yeah, sure.
9:04 Speaker 05 You fit sitting comfortably?
9:05 Speaker 04 Yeah.
9:06 Speaker 05 Happy? You're the boss, aren't you? Fuck, I'm gonna struggle with this.
9:10 Speaker 01 You're really taking this thing about Janet being the only nice one on board. You're never normally this lovely.
9:14 Speaker 05 Okay, fine. Okay, here we go. Full name?
9:17 Speaker 04 Well, I just call myself Prue. But I suppose my full name is Dame Prudence Margaret Leith.
9:27 Speaker 05 Wow. Dame.
9:29 Speaker 04 Dame, that's.
9:30 Speaker 05 That's cool, isn't it?
9:30 Speaker 04 That's a joke.
9:31 Speaker 05 It's a joke. Was it a joke? No, it's real. That's real.
9:35 Speaker 04 It's, it's real, it's real, but it, it always makes me laugh because I just can't believe that anybody would put, make me a dame. You know, I'm so, I'm dame-like. However, it's lovely.
9:47 Speaker 05 What sort of benefits do you get from being a dame?
9:49 Speaker 04 Well, I tell you what, you get a, you get a coat of arms, for example, and my husband has had such fun because you can put anything you like on your coat and arms. So I have a cat I'm very fond of. So you know where some people have lions doing this sort of rampant lion like that? I have a pussy cat.
10:08 Speaker 04 And then I said, I'd like a cooking pot and a, a saucepan and a, and a wooden spoon because that's what my career's been. And the nice Harold guy said, well, they have to be sort of medieval. So, um, and so they've given me a sort of witch's cauldron with flames underneath it. Um.
10:29 Speaker 05 Were you happy? With that.
10:30 Speaker 04 Yes, but it does look like a witch's cauldron rather than a cook's pot.
10:34 Speaker 05 Right, so just to clarify, you've got a pussy cat, a saucepan and some utensils and a witch's cauldron.
10:41 Speaker 04 Yeah.
10:41 Speaker 05 As your coat of arms.
10:42 Speaker 04 And a book, and a book.
10:43 Speaker 05 And a book. That's fucking cool, isn't it?
10:46 Speaker 04 And if you're a man, you'll get knighted.
10:48 Speaker 05 Yeah.
10:49 Speaker 04 I wanted to be knighted on my shoulder.
10:52 Speaker 05 The old sword.
10:53 Speaker 04 But I got the same hood in the middle of Covid. So I had a letter that said, I'm really sorry, but there's such a stack up of people who need knighting because it's Covid, that we won't be able to do you for four years. But you have the right to be um damed by a member of the royal family. But you'll have to wait, you might have to wait four years. And I thought, I might not have four years, you know, I'm a bit old. So I thought, no, I don't want that. I said, or you can get um the local lieutenant to do it, you know, for in your, wherever you are.
11:32 Speaker 04 Um, or you can get it by post. And I thought, I don't think I want my damehood by post.
11:39 Speaker 05 Well, they they send you a sword by post to like knight yourself and then you have to post it back.
11:44 Speaker 04 You don't get a sword, you just get somebody who goes, come closer.
11:51 Speaker 04 Arise, Sir Joe, and you are a knight.
11:58 Speaker 04 You kneel on the ground and they do that to you. I think you'd have to wear trousers.
12:02 Speaker 05 I'm not fucking doing it then.
12:07 Speaker 05 Um, occupation?
12:09 Speaker 04 Cook.
12:12 Speaker 05 Okay, just cook?
12:14 Speaker 04 Yeah. Well, I suppose chef is always paid for it. It's professional. Whereas cook is.
12:22 Speaker 05 You can do for fun.
12:23 Speaker 04 You can be, yeah, you can do it for nothing at home.
12:27 Speaker 05 So what's your favourite food to cook then?
12:31 Speaker 04 I like savoury food. I'm really bad at cake. People think that because I've judged bake off for years, that I must be a fantastic baker. But I'm not. I'm just a really good set of taste buds. I can tell good cake from bad cake and tell you what's wrong with it. But I tried to make hot cross buns last week and I had two attempts at it. And I tell you what, I needed Paul Hollywood at my side because it was a disaster.
12:59 Speaker 05 As a cake.
13:00 Speaker 04 As a cake. I think I am a lemon or orange polenta cake. I think it describes me because it's quite substantial. It's not all airy and mussy and lots, lots of people like cake, which is more like pudding. You know, it's just mostly cream and whisked egg whites and meringue and things like that. This is cake.
13:24 Speaker 05 Yeah.
13:24 Speaker 04 Solid cake.
13:25 Speaker 05 Some density to it.
13:26 Speaker 04 Yes, some density and I think I'm like that.
13:28 Speaker 05 Some grittiness.
13:29 Speaker 04 All of that, that's me.
13:31 Speaker 05 Yeah.
13:31 Speaker 04 And, and a bit of zest.
13:34 Speaker 05 Zesty.
13:35 Speaker 04 Yeah, so it's full of lemon.
13:36 Speaker 05 Does that hit me right at the start or does it like hit the back of throat at the end?
13:40 Speaker 04 Right, from the beginning, from the beginning.
13:43 Speaker 01 From what you know of Joe so far, what, what cake would describe him?
13:45 Speaker 05 Fucking hell, here we go.
13:48 Speaker 05 Who else does this?
13:49 Speaker 04 Well, come on, you're the shrink.
13:51 Speaker 05 Um, if I had to be a cake, Jake, uh, see what I've done there? Yeah, yes. Yeah, thank you. I would probably be, what's a blamange? I've been described as a blamange lots.
14:02 Speaker 04 Well, it's a pudding, but it'll do.
14:04 Speaker 05 Okay, I'm like a blobby blamange. That's what I would be.
14:07 Speaker 04 I wouldn't say you're blobby.
14:09 Speaker 05 No?
14:09 Speaker 04 No.
14:10 Speaker 05 Okay.
14:10 Speaker 04 I have a feel.
14:11 Speaker 01 Have a feel, have a feel.
14:16 Speaker 04 That is not blobby. I mean.
14:19 Speaker 01 For the audio listener, Prue's poking his least blobby part.
14:21 Speaker 04 You could stop exercising. Why don't you?
14:24 Speaker 05 Well, cause then I will look like a walking blamange. So I've got to keep a little bit up, do you know what I mean?
14:29 Speaker 04 I mean, it, it takes somebody who never exercises to, to tell this.
14:33 Speaker 05 I'm just having a moment, I'm just having a moment here, Prudence, where you've just,
14:40 Speaker 05 you've just prodded both of my chest areas.
14:44 Speaker 04 Is that, is the other bits I should?
14:46 Speaker 05 It's quite surreal. What?
14:48 Speaker 01 You've, you've brought out a bashful side of him here.
14:50 Speaker 04 Are, are you, are you saying to me that that's just a breastplate?
14:54 Speaker 05 Hmm.
14:54 Speaker 04 Metal breastplate. So you will feel nice and hard.
14:57 Speaker 01 Might as well take the jacket off and just show us what you've got going on.
15:01 Speaker 05 I, I am the boss.
15:02 Speaker 04 Yeah, exactly. I mean, I want, what, what is this?
15:06 Speaker 05 Jake is my research assistant, but somehow there is a bit of a authority crisis going on. He de, he definitely does.
15:13 Speaker 04 He wants to be in your seat.
15:15 Speaker 05 More than capable of doing it mentally, physically. He can't do it because I've beat fuck out of him.
15:20 Speaker 04 And if I prodded him, he'd disappear.
15:22 Speaker 05 Yeah.
15:30 Speaker 05 From what I can gather, you've got a new book out, haven't you? Right, hang on, this is, thank you. Just conveniently placed in my left side drawer. It's fine.
15:40 Speaker 05 It's all about getting older, embracing getting older, is it?
15:43 Speaker 04 Not getting older, being old. You know, when I said to my publishers, I'm going to write a book called Being Old, and they said, oh, I don't think we can have that title, it's so negative. That's the point, I want to write a book about it not being negative. And being old is not the end of the world. And they said, oh, I think we'll have to call it Being Older. And I said, no, I'm not interested in being older, I'm talking about being old.
16:07 Speaker 05 So it's about embracing getting old?
16:10 Speaker 04 Well, yes, if you can. I mean, obviously, there's some people who are having a horrible old age. They want to pretend that it's lovely for everybody. But what I don't like is the general accept idea that being old is the worst time of your life. Of course, it is the end of your life in the end. But the truth is, I don't think people have a horrible, more horrible time. Or, I mean, it's no different from any other part of your life. I mean, I remember my teenage years, and I think they were quite horrible. The most lovely thing about being old is you don't give a toss what anybody thinks.
16:48 Speaker 05 Well, I want to use that embracing getting old, getting older.
16:53 Speaker 04 Okay.
16:55 Speaker 05 In our session, and really take that principle and push it as far as we can take. Shall we do that?
17:01 Speaker 01 I think that's exactly what we should do.
17:02 Speaker 05 I think that should be the theme of this session.
17:04 Speaker 04 Okay.
17:05 Speaker 05 You up for it?
17:05 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah.
17:06 Speaker 05 Oh, you're up for anything, can't you?
17:08 Speaker 04 Pretty well.
17:08 Speaker 05 Let's get into it, let's go. Oh, hang on, Jake. We forgot these.
17:14 Speaker 01 Oh, yes.
17:15 Speaker 04 Oh, I like them.
17:16 Speaker 01 Our Prue-inspired glasses, where?
17:18 Speaker 04 Oh, that's wonderful.
17:19 Speaker 05 Thoughts?
17:19 Speaker 04 That's very good.
17:20 Speaker 05 Good?
17:20 Speaker 04 That's very good.
17:26 Speaker 00 I hate Mondays. King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite? Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.
17:35 Speaker 02 Hey, let's get back to work, please.
17:36 Speaker 00 But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.
17:41 Speaker 02 Taylor Hansen? Nice. Try one. Mmm.
17:48 Speaker 02 King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.
17:51 Speaker 05 There's nothing like it.
17:56 Speaker 05 Have you always been unfazed by age? Or is it something you've recently embraced?
18:01 Speaker 04 The truth is, I grew up with very encouraging parents who,
18:08 Speaker 04 who, to all of us, there were three of us, my two brothers and me. And I mean, we always had the impression that, I mean, they were behind us with whatever we wanted to do. And they were endlessly encouraging. And so it just never occurred to me. My brothers were more cautious, but with me, it never occurred to me that I fail. I still don't ever think I'm gonna fail. But I think that I have always been forward looking and optimistic and, and confident, often,
18:42 Speaker 04 you know, confident when I shouldn't have been, but
18:46 Speaker 04 I've always had an optimistic attitude.
18:48 Speaker 05 I look at you and I go, wow, she's fantastic. You look wonderful.
18:54 Speaker 04 Really?
18:54 Speaker 05 Like right from your glasses down to your necklace of, I don't know what to describe them.
19:00 Speaker 04 Oh, I'm very proud of this.
19:01 Speaker 05 Have you always been a fashionista then? Have you always been into your fashion?
19:04 Speaker 04 I've always loved colour. I've always loved colour. I've never really been a fashionista in the sense of buying magazines about clothes or going to, you know, fashion things. But I've always loved colour.
19:20 Speaker 05 What do you think, mine and Jake's fashion levels? Do you think we need any?
19:23 Speaker 04 I like your specs.
19:25 Speaker 05 Just the specs?
19:26 Speaker 04 I like, actually, I like, I really like the sort of country tweed look
19:31 Speaker 05 Yeah.
19:31 Speaker 04 on top.
19:32 Speaker 05 Sure.
19:33 Speaker 04 The middle bit is a bit of worry.
19:35 Speaker 05 It's in the midriff?
19:36 Speaker 04 No.
19:38 Speaker 05 The shorts?
19:38 Speaker 04 From the waist, the waist to the knees.
19:40 Speaker 05 You don't like the shorts, it's fine.
19:41 Speaker 04 Well, I can't see your shoes.
19:42 Speaker 05 No, that's good, that's a good one. What about Jake's?
19:46 Speaker 01 The suit doesn't fit, I think we know that.
19:48 Speaker 05 Well, I'm not sure it's the fit of the suit.
19:50 Speaker 01 The colour of the suit, the cut of the suit and the fit of the suit?
19:53 Speaker 05 Yeah, all of it, I'd say, yeah, just the package. Just the package. What do you think Jake could maybe improve? A bit more colour to him.
20:03 Speaker 04 I know, he's really together. Who put it, are you interested in fashion?
20:06 Speaker 01 Um.
20:10 Speaker 01 I am, but do you know what? It's hard to have the confidence to try something new when you have friends who maybe don't give you that support when you try something new, turn up something new and they say, "What's that now?"
20:22 Speaker 05 Colleagues.
20:23 Speaker 01 It comes down to that thing you were saying earlier about just not caring about what other people think. And that's when the confidence of fashion can come, I think.
20:30 Speaker 04 Well, if it helps at all, I think you look quite cool.
20:33 Speaker 01 No, thank you very much, Prue. Have we got some other glasses as well?
20:36 Speaker 05 What do you mean? Did you pack me some more glasses?
20:38 Speaker 04 What?
20:41 Speaker 05 Fucking hell.
20:42 Speaker 04 No. Oh my goodness.
20:45 Speaker 01 I don't know if there's any that Prue might want to wear for this.
20:49 Speaker 01 That are up that street.
20:50 Speaker 05 Oh, this is Prue all over.
20:52 Speaker 01 That's very Prue.
20:53 Speaker 05 What about them?
20:54 Speaker 04 Where did you get these?
20:56 Speaker 05 They're just all sorts of initial. Look at them.
21:00 Speaker 01 That's very Prue.
21:01 Speaker 05 Wow.
21:04 Speaker 05 I worry that, I don't think. I worry that you won't take me seriously anymore. If I keep these on for the rest of the session.
21:15 Speaker 04 Joe, I hate to tell you, but I'm not taking you seriously ever.
21:26 Speaker 05 Okay, so you've talked about not giving a shit.
21:29 Speaker 04 Mm-hmm.
21:29 Speaker 05 And like, just embracing a little bit of advice to Jake there, and you've said, "Take a leaf."
21:35 Speaker 01 Yeah. Take a leaf out of Prue's book.
21:36 Speaker 05 Out of Prue's. No, that was my line.
21:39 Speaker 01 Sorry.
21:39 Speaker 05 No, I was nearly close to finishing it.
21:41 Speaker 01 You were just taking 20 minutes to get there, sorry.
21:45 Speaker 05 Right, I'm gonna give you some scenarios.
21:47 Speaker 04 Okay.
21:48 Speaker 05 And work out whether you really give a fuck about them or not. Whether you, you know, be embarrassed to do so, or... Let's put you to the test, Prue. Sing into yourself in public.
21:59 Speaker 04 Well, I'll tell you what, I can do that now. I can sing now. All my life I never could sing at all. And then I was asked to go on Masked Singer.
22:07 Speaker 05 Ah, yes.
22:09 Speaker 04 And they said...
22:10 Speaker 01 It's quite public, that is quite public.
22:11 Speaker 04 Quite public.
22:12 Speaker 01 Yeah.
22:12 Speaker 04 And they said, I said, "I can't sing and I'm turned deaf." And they said, "Don't worry, we've never had a failure yet. Come on, we'll teach you to sing." And I thought, "This is my chance." I've got six months before the actual show. And it's my one chance of learning how to sing. So I said, yes. Well, of course, I very quickly discovered that the budget that they have for teaching non singers to sing would never crack it. I needed more, more help than that. So I got a private um coach, singing coach, um lovely guy. And he taught me to sing. And you know, after six months of this, I went on Last Singer and I did it.
22:51 Speaker 04 And I can now, what I'm left with, which is absolutely wonderful, is that I can now.
22:58 Speaker 05 Sing in public?
22:59 Speaker 04 Yesterday, I was trying to tell my son um about a hymn, an Easter hymn that we used to sing as kids at school. And I said, do you know the hymn Hail the Festival Day? And he said, what is that? I can't. And I said, so I sang it. I actually sang it. And there were lots of people there. And I suddenly thought, you know, he taught me to manage to do it regardless. I'm sure I wasn't in tune, but I managed to make a noise.
23:30 Speaker 05 I'd love to know how that hymn goes, but. Ha, hail. Guess I'll never know.
23:35 Speaker 04 Festival day, best day that are hallowed forever. Day where in Christ arose, breaking the kingdom of death. Something like that.
23:49 Speaker 05 So.
23:51 Speaker 04 And it's not proper singing. I can't, I know I can't sing, and I'm sure it wasn't in tune, but at least a voice, a noise comes out.
23:59 Speaker 05 No comment. It was a great noise. And clearly you don't give a fuck about singing in public at all.
24:04 Speaker 04 No, no.
24:05 Speaker 05 What about sending food back in a restaurant? Oh, no. Can't do it. I can't do that.
24:11 Speaker 04 Oh, no, I can't.
24:12 Speaker 05 I do, what? You can, you do.
24:14 Speaker 04 I not only can do it and do do it, but I also think you owe it to the restaurant to tell them that they're not got it right. Because if they're making something which is really horrible and they're upsetting their customers because they're paying a lot of money for it, they're not gonna come back.
24:32 Speaker 05 Yeah.
24:33 Speaker 04 And if they get it right, you know, if you say to them, look, there's so much salt in the soup, you can't swallow it. They're gonna go and taste it, which they probably haven't done.
24:41 Speaker 05 Yeah.
24:43 Speaker 04 And not serve it to the next customer. You should always tell them what's wrong.
24:46 Speaker 05 What would take it a poo at someone else's house?
24:50 Speaker 04 Do you think that's bad manners?
24:53 Speaker 05 To use a toilet that's there to be used?
24:56 Speaker 04 No, I don't think so. I would use it.
24:58 Speaker 05 You would use it?
24:59 Speaker 04 Yes, of course I would.
25:01 Speaker 05 What, you would use it on someone else's house?
25:03 Speaker 04 Well, in the loo, yes.
25:07 Speaker 04 Not on the lawn.
25:12 Speaker 05 Have you ever said yes to something that's got you into like a risky situation? Or, or risque situation? See what I did there, Jake?
25:23 Speaker 04 Well, I once, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, this is many, many years ago when I was about nineteen and I was a student in Paris. And a friend of mine, American friend, I said, come, let's go to a party. And you know, when you're a teenager, you'll go to any party, won't you?
25:39 Speaker 05 Sure.
25:40 Speaker 04 Just if somebody can get you into a party, then.
25:42 Speaker 05 You're there.
25:43 Speaker 04 You're there.
25:43 Speaker 05 Yeah.
25:44 Speaker 04 So I said yes. And we went miles out of town, out of town to this house. And when we went into the house, um, there was, we banged on the door. And the door opened a tiny crack and, you know, somebody looked at us and, you know, said, who are you? And took us away, ways to talk our way in. We were friends of somebody who was friends of somebody. And we managed to get in. And when we got in, it was just these rooms full of totally naked people. Lots of, I mean, you just saw a sea of bouncing bums.
26:20 Speaker 05 What?
26:21 Speaker 04 All, honestly, it was an orgy and they were.
26:24 Speaker 05 Well, hang on a minute. Hang on a minute. I need a second to process what you're saying, Prue.
26:30 Speaker 04 Well, I thought I was going to.
26:31 Speaker 05 Real naked bums?
26:33 Speaker 04 Real naked bums, lots of them. And lots of people and in two different rooms. But there was bonking going on everywhere and everybody was naked.
26:41 Speaker 05 Did you know it was going to be an orgy?
26:43 Speaker 04 No, of course not. That was the thing. I didn't know. I thought I was, I was going to a party. It was a party.
26:49 Speaker 05 Well, yeah.
26:50 Speaker 04 Anyway, so there am I, standing like an absolute idiot at the bar, fully dressed. And feeling such a fool because everybody came up to me and they and they kept saying, get your kit off, you know, why are you here, you know, you've got and I realised that being, having clothes on when everybody else is naked is the most conspicuous thing you can do. I was getting so much attention because I had clothes on.
27:14 Speaker 05 Yeah, you're the weirdo.
27:15 Speaker 04 So guess what? I stripped off because I thought I've got to cope with this somehow. And then it was fine. I could stand at the bar and just have a drink. And to talk my way out of any, you know, I'm waiting for somebody or my boyfriend's next door or something, just any excuse not to have to join in. And then finally he arrived and we went, he came back, I have to say, looking extremely satisfied.
27:41 Speaker 04 And off we went. So if you're asking me if I ever done anything and I regret, well, that wasn't what I I mean, in a sense, I don't regret it because it was funny. And it was.
27:51 Speaker 05 And you didn't know it was coming.
27:53 Speaker 04 And I know it was coming.
27:54 Speaker 05 You know, and you didn't go back.
27:56 Speaker 04 No, and I didn't go back. That's my only, the only orgy I've ever been in.
28:13 Speaker 05 Right, Prue, it is time for one final exercise. I want you to continue to try new things.
28:20 Speaker 04 Okay.
28:20 Speaker 05 Yeah, but sometimes it doesn't have to be bungee jumping or swimming with sharks. You spent a career trying the most pristine bakes. But now for the first time, I want you to review the bakes of the people. Okay. Which is why I've bought you one of every item from Greg's. Here we go. We've got one of every single bake there. Let's get rid of Newton's apples.
28:48 Speaker 04 Right, they're all savoury too.
28:50 Speaker 05 Sure. What have we got? We've got chicken bake, steak bake, cheese and onion bake, sausage bean and cheese bake. There's a lot of bakes here. Do they, what's that one?
29:01 Speaker 04 Vegan sausage roll.
29:02 Speaker 05 Vegan sausage roll, bacon and cheese wrap.
29:04 Speaker 04 This looks very anemic. It needs more longer in the oven, don't you think?
29:09 Speaker 05 Is that no good?
29:11 Speaker 04 Not so good.
29:12 Speaker 05 They, I'll be honest, they all look quite the same.
29:15 Speaker 04 Um, but I think I would like the bacon and cheese one or the cheese and onion one.
29:22 Speaker 05 Right, okay.
29:24 Speaker 04 Cheese and onion.
29:25 Speaker 05 You want cheese and onion?
29:26 Speaker 04 Um.
29:26 Speaker 05 Mind fingers?
29:27 Speaker 04 Yeah.
29:28 Speaker 05 Do you want, I'll just take the stick out for you.
29:32 Speaker 04 So, what do we?
29:34 Speaker 05 Let's review that, I'll be honest.
29:37 Speaker 04 I tell you what, the thing about puff pastry is you really need, it's hot.
29:41 Speaker 05 Hot.
29:42 Speaker 04 And this is stone cold, so it's really doughy. And, you know, the whole point about puff pastry is it should be flaky.
29:52 Speaker 05 Um.
29:52 Speaker 04 And it should be shards all over the place. And it needs to be hot, at least, at least recently baked, this, then when this was baked.
30:00 Speaker 05 Well, you'll have to take it up with Janet.
30:05 Speaker 04 Feeling's nice.
30:06 Speaker 05 Oh.
30:08 Speaker 05 Either way, you really dismember that.
30:11 Speaker 04 You see, it could have been longer in the oven anyway, because that's not properly baked.
30:17 Speaker 05 No, why, why, why is that not properly baked?
30:20 Speaker 04 Well, not in the oven long enough.
30:22 Speaker 05 No, no, no, I know.
30:26 Speaker 05 How do you know that's not properly baked? What, because it's wet and soggy?
30:30 Speaker 04 Wet and soggy and not flaky. And then this middle, which was advertised as cheese and onion.
30:40 Speaker 05 This is a cheese and onion bake?
30:41 Speaker 04 Yeah, cheese and onion. Well, it is quite cheesy, but it's mostly white sauce.
30:48 Speaker 05 What's, white sauce, no good?
30:50 Speaker 04 It's, it's all right, but I, I was hoping for real cheese and fried onions.
30:55 Speaker 05 Oh.
30:56 Speaker 04 You know, it would be delicious, wouldn't it? So this is a sort of rather soupy.
31:01 Speaker 05 Are you enjoying that?
31:03 Speaker 04 No, but it does taste quite good. I think if it was. It tastes quite good.
31:08 Speaker 05 But you've just said it was underbaked.
31:10 Speaker 04 Yeah, I was complaining about the texture, not the flavour.
31:13 Speaker 05 But it, the flavour's nice, even though it's white sauce, gloopy soup.
31:17 Speaker 04 Yeah, it's quite a nice flavour, but it could be nicer.
31:20 Speaker 05 I honestly thought you'd just be turning your nose up at it.
31:23 Speaker 04 No, no, no.
31:24 Speaker 05 Fuck this.
31:24 Speaker 01 What do you usually get from Greg's, Prue?
31:26 Speaker 05 The anemic sausage.
31:28 Speaker 04 I think I would still go for that. I mean, it does taste quite nice.
31:32 Speaker 05 I wanna say you've tried something new. You've tried a wet soggy.
31:38 Speaker 04 I've never tried one of them before.
31:39 Speaker 05 So we've achieved trying something new. Trying something Prue. Trying something Prue.
31:48 Speaker 05 This is the moment, isn't it?
31:51 Speaker 05 Prue Leaf. Prue Leaf. Prue Leaf, Prue Leaf. Thank you for coming on and trying something new. Fucked it, didn't I?
32:07 Speaker 05 Prue Leaf, thank you so much. I think we've made some strides.
32:12 Speaker 01 Absolutely.
32:12 Speaker 05 In today's session of trying. I think we've actually learnt more.
32:15 Speaker 04 How many more sessions are we going to have to have?
32:17 Speaker 05 Well, I'd like more sessions with you. But actually, similar to what's happened in this session, you've actually taught us more than we've taught you.
32:28 Speaker 04 I don't think so.
32:29 Speaker 05 Okay, sure, we've got a theme. But before you go, the same with every client slash guest, we offer up a badge and a
32:39 Speaker 05 lollipop to remind them of their experience. There's your lollipop. What we going for with badge, Jake?
32:46 Speaker 01 We've gone with the Prue is in the pudding.
32:49 Speaker 05 The what?
32:50 Speaker 01 The Prue is in the pudding.
32:52 Speaker 04 The Prue is in the pudding.
32:53 Speaker 05 What do you mean by it?
32:54 Speaker 01 The Prue, it just sounds good. The Prue is in the pudding.
32:57 Speaker 05 What's that got to do with trying something new?
32:59 Speaker 01 It just sounded good. I couldn't really rhyme anything that fitted the mission statement, but I just thought that sounded very nice. And that's for you, Prue.
33:08 Speaker 05 The Prue is in the pudding. And you went with orange, did you? Why orange?
33:12 Speaker 04 Orange, yeah, I thought we would go mint.
33:14 Speaker 05 It does go, actually. Oh, wow, you're putting it on. That's really kind.
33:18 Speaker 04 Yeah.
33:20 Speaker 05 Dane Prue Leaf, everybody. Thank you.
33:25 Speaker 05 Thank you, thank you, please.
33:27 Speaker 04 Joe, I'm going, I promise. I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. I just want to ask you how long you've had these lollipops? Because I tell you what.
33:35 Speaker 05 Sure.
33:37 Speaker 04 They're wet into the paper.
33:38 Speaker 05 Okay, well, I will, we will update them.
33:40 Speaker 04 Update the hot lollipops?
33:41 Speaker 05 Okay, thank you.
