2:03 Speaker 03 It doesn't work out.
2:04 Speaker 02 We're not a family.
2:05 Speaker 03 Now, if you're watching this on YouTube, please subscribe. That would be lovely and yeah, enjoy.
2:29 Speaker 02 Like the bloodies, the bloodies and the shit, they're not too bad, are they?
2:32 Speaker 04 No, they're, yeah, they're okay.
2:34 Speaker 03 Jesus Christ, Robin gives a Jesus Christ now and then, doesn't he?
2:37 Speaker 02 Yeah, he does.
2:38 Speaker 04 Yeah, God's sake, I don't like, actually.
2:41 Speaker 02 God's sake.
2:42 Speaker 04 Come on, it's goodness sake.
2:44 Speaker 03 Yeah, fair enough.
2:45 Speaker 04 I say, yeah.
2:46 Speaker 03 So does yours, yours doesn't drop the F-bomb, surely?
2:49 Speaker 04 She has dropped the F-bomb a few times.
2:50 Speaker 03 She's dropped the F-bomb.
2:51 Speaker 04 But knows that it's wrong.
2:52 Speaker 03 Right.
2:53 Speaker 04 But when you're sat watching Motherland and Friday night dinner.
2:56 Speaker 03 Yes.
2:57 Speaker 04 So it's not my fault, but I'm like, that's an adult thing.
2:59 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:00 Speaker 04 If you're intelligent, you don't need to swear.
3:02 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
3:02 Speaker 04 But I swear all the time.
3:03 Speaker 03 Oh, God, no.
3:04 Speaker 02 Oh, my God, I love swearing.
3:06 Speaker 04 I enjoy swearing.
3:08 Speaker 03 Oh, it's cathartic.
3:09 Speaker 04 What's your favourite swear word?
3:11 Speaker 03 Oh.
3:13 Speaker 02 Probably fuck.
3:14 Speaker 03 Yeah, probably F, it's a good.
3:16 Speaker 04 I like bollocks.
3:18 Speaker 03 Bollocks is good.
3:18 Speaker 02 I never say bollocks.
3:20 Speaker 04 Because it can be really good as well, can't it? It's like the dog's bollocks.
3:22 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
3:23 Speaker 04 Or you look the bollocks. Or this is all bollocks.
3:26 Speaker 02 Love it, it's just like, it explains every single emotion. So, it's so funny, because I say the F-word quite a lot. But when I was growing up, I did not, and my mum and dad are not like, really like, oh, yah, yah, yah. But they managed to never ever say the F-word until, I think I didn't hear my dad say it until I was in my twenties.
3:43 Speaker 04 Oh, wow, that's amazing.
3:45 Speaker 02 Really good. And I remember hearing him and being like, oh, my God. Do you know what I mean? Like, really taken aback by him, by hearing it. No, they're not, but they're not like, I love them to death, but they weren't, like, I don't know, it was just one of their things. I think they just made a pact of like.
4:01 Speaker 04 We don't swear in front of the kids.
4:02 Speaker 02 We don't swear in front of the kids. And they really stuck to it. So when I heard him say it, I mean, now I hear it all the time, but when I was really taken aback and I was just like.
4:11 Speaker 04 It's interesting having a fifteen year old now, because she's, yeah, and she'll up talking and she'll be like, you know, I just can't fucking bleep. And I say, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not talking to your friends now, I find it really jarring. So I say, don't swear, please don't swear.
4:26 Speaker 02 How, how was it, uh, how did you find the teenagers with the girls?
4:30 Speaker 04 Uh, Eliza matured really early.
4:33 Speaker 02 Mm hmm.
4:34 Speaker 04 So actually, um, twelve and thirteen were hell on earth.
4:37 Speaker 02 Hmm.
4:38 Speaker 03 Hell on earth.
4:38 Speaker 04 Really, really bad.
4:40 Speaker 03 Wow, just hormones, just carnage.
4:41 Speaker 04 Awful, awful, just can't do anything right, screaming, shouting, doors slamming, all of that.
4:46 Speaker 03 Wow.
4:46 Speaker 04 But really now, she's fifteen, nearly sixteen, I feel she's come out of it. I mean, I could have another shit time coming, I don't know.
4:52 Speaker 02 Right, okay.
4:52 Speaker 04 But as it stands, touch wood.
4:53 Speaker 02 Touch wood.
4:54 Speaker 04 Um, she's been through the.
4:55 Speaker 02 She's been really good, yeah. It's so hard, so we, our oldest is ten.
5:00 Speaker 04 Yeah.
5:00 Speaker 02 And I keep having to say it to you, don't I? I'm like, there's testosterone raging through his little body.
5:06 Speaker 04 It's funny how you've got a set to him when he's got it.
5:07 Speaker 02 I know, isn't that insane? I have to say that.
5:10 Speaker 03 I don't think I've ever had much testosterone, I'm gonna be honest with you.
5:13 Speaker 02 Yes, you have. Don't say that. Although you have got a very, very good head of hair.
5:18 Speaker 03 Yeah.
5:19 Speaker 02 Have you heard that about men?
5:20 Speaker 03 Right, what is it?
5:21 Speaker 02 Apparently, men, bald men.
5:23 Speaker 04 Yeah.
5:24 Speaker 02 Um, you know how they've got loads of hair, usually bald men have got loads of hair of the rest of their body.
5:28 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah.
5:29 Speaker 02 Because they've got loads more testosterone than men with a full head of hair.
5:33 Speaker 04 Oh, Mark's got a full head of hair.
5:34 Speaker 02 What is testosterone ever like?
5:36 Speaker 04 Well, who knows?
5:37 Speaker 03 Get, get tested.
5:40 Speaker 03 What an incredible thing to ask of one.
5:42 Speaker 04 I checked it yesterday, Rosie.
5:46 Speaker 03 It's just a dipstick like a car. You pull it out, you wipe it, you put it back in, you check the level. That's exactly how you check testosterone.
5:51 Speaker 02 You're quite sure, I think there is some blokes who are a lot more testosterone filled.
5:55 Speaker 03 Yeah, I think I'm a lot, yeah, I'm not an angry.
5:57 Speaker 04 No, he's very, very laid back, very calm.
5:59 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:59 Speaker 03 I mean, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a ball of, I'm a ball of anxiety, um, but I'm not like a, like a, so, yeah. But, uh, what, what I haven't told you actually, Rosie, is me and Robin, our ten year old, he loves a bit of Eminem now, loves listening to Eminem. So I've obviously got to carefully curate which ones he can listen to, because sometimes it's not just swearing, sometimes it's just awful themes.
6:18 Speaker 04 Yes.
6:19 Speaker 03 Which sometimes will be listening to one. And it'll say on Spotify, like they'll not have a little E next to it, they'll not have the explicit. I go, this one's fine. And halfway through it'll drop an F bomb and then we'll be driving like that. And we'll just literally look at each other. Don't say anything. I just look at him and he looks at me and we'll go like that. And then one of them, which one is it? It's Stan. The clean version of Stan on Spotify says shit five or six or seven times.
6:41 Speaker 04 Really?
6:42 Speaker 03 And every time, and it said more and more of a sudden, Rob's gonna sit there going, oh, he's going, oh God. And every time I swear, he was going, dad, he kept, he kept swearing. I went, I know, mate. I went, just don't say it. I don't want to hear you say it, but it's a really good song and he loves the song Stan. And he likes, he likes the fact that it's got a narrative.
6:58 Speaker 04 Yeah, stories through it.
6:59 Speaker 03 Obsessed with songs that have got a narrative on them. So, but yeah, he says shit like loads and loads of times. And every time, again, we'll just look at each other, just a little glance and he knows that I'm saying, you know what I'm saying? And he's like, I know what you're saying and we'll move on.
7:10 Speaker 04 That's good.
7:11 Speaker 03 Yeah. And then we'll stop and I go right and fuck off out the car. That's good.
7:15 Speaker 02 You little shit.
7:18 Speaker 02 He's like, oh, I've heard that one. Um, it's really lovely to see you.
7:22 Speaker 04 And you.
7:22 Speaker 02 When did we do So and Be? I was trying to remember.
7:25 Speaker 04 I think it's about four years ago.
7:29 Speaker 02 Is it?
7:30 Speaker 04 Yeah.
7:32 Speaker 03 Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that.
7:34 Speaker 02 Four years ago.
7:35 Speaker 04 Well, you weren't there, so you weren't there, were you?
7:37 Speaker 03 Um, I think you'll find I was given updates every night after he's had finished, after everything, get texts, get phone calls.
7:43 Speaker 02 You were amazing on that. You were. That there, that like Gallagher cloak thing you made was amazing. It was really good.
7:51 Speaker 04 Panic of it all. It all fell apart. I took it home, you know.
7:53 Speaker 02 Did you?
7:54 Speaker 03 I've really, I've really took hers home, took hers home. In a, yeah, oh, yeah, took, yeah, brought them home. I bring my stuff back, brought it home in a bag. Uh, it went in a basket, uh, the bottom stairs. It stayed in the basket until, mm, possibly a couple of months ago. Where I took it out of the basket and put it in a different cupboard. You've never touched it or looked at it since.
8:12 Speaker 04 This is so true. I put mine in the bottom of the spare wardrobe and it's still in a bag.
8:17 Speaker 02 I'm like, I'll keep this forever. The nostalgia. Couldn't go, sure.
8:22 Speaker 04 Get rid of it.
8:22 Speaker 02 That was a really cra- it was a mad programme because I did not know how to sew at all.
8:28 Speaker 04 On me.
8:28 Speaker 02 And then, but we managed to, we managed to do it and make stuff.
8:32 Speaker 04 It did alright. Yeah. The mad thing about those programmes is it's August, we're baking and the Christmas, it's Christmas, isn't it? So you've got all snow filled rooms and Christmas. It's a little bit like a cheese dream.
8:42 Speaker 02 It was absolute, it was, it was boiling, wasn't it? And we were doing the Christmas special.
8:46 Speaker 04 Yeah.
8:46 Speaker 02 Yeah. I do remember. Okay. So that whole. That like couple of years, so I had rafe.
8:52 Speaker 04 Hmm.
8:52 Speaker 02 And our, and our world went insane. And because obviously I'm living me dream, I didn't wanna say no to anything.
8:59 Speaker 04 No, of course.
8:59 Speaker 02 Honestly, had a bit of a breakdown.
9:02 Speaker 04 Oh.
9:02 Speaker 02 Uh, not a huge breakdown, very private, sort of just in my own bed.
9:06 Speaker 03 It was a day by day breakdown though, wasn't it? It wasn't like, it wasn't one moment. It was just, it was a drip fed breakdown.
9:11 Speaker 02 Yeah, just did too much. And um, and I'm just glad that that part of my life is over now.
9:15 Speaker 04 But you don't, you can't say no, can you?
9:17 Speaker 02 No, I know.
9:18 Speaker 04 I did it last year when I did the documentary, when I was filming it.
9:21 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:21 Speaker 04 So I come out of EastEnders.
9:23 Speaker 03 Talk about in death very soon, yes.
9:24 Speaker 04 Got to. But when, when I was, when I came out of EastEnders, I made the choice and I was like, I've got to be brave.
9:30 Speaker 03 Mm hmm.
9:30 Speaker 04 Been in the job for ages.
9:31 Speaker 02 Mm hmm.
9:32 Speaker 04 And it's regular money. This is the second time I left.
9:35 Speaker 02 Second time, yeah.
9:36 Speaker 04 Um, so, you know, I was forty one and I thought, no, I need to get out of here. It was weird really, cause the pattern was, I started when I was ten.
9:43 Speaker 02 Hmm.
9:44 Speaker 04 I did twelve years.
9:45 Speaker 02 Mm hmm.
9:46 Speaker 04 Had eight years off and I went back for twelve.
9:49 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:50 Speaker 04 And I left. So maybe I'll go back in eight years, you never know, do you?
9:53 Speaker 03 Yeah.
9:54 Speaker 02 They didn't kill her off, did they? So she's still very much alive.
9:57 Speaker 03 She's in Bali. Wow.
10:00 Speaker 04 In Bali.
10:01 Speaker 03 Lucky cow.
10:01 Speaker 04 She, she took her little baby to Bali. It was about two days old. We know the passport.
10:06 Speaker 03 Right.
10:06 Speaker 04 It's hilarious. Campish.
10:09 Speaker 03 Hand luggage?
10:11 Speaker 04 Come on, we're off to Bali.
10:13 Speaker 02 See ya.
10:14 Speaker 04 See you later, everyone.
10:16 Speaker 03 Well, you can assume though, you know, like a bit of artistic licence, that maybe she went to the local passport office on the way.
10:22 Speaker 04 Off to Stockton, Victoria.
10:24 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorted that and then went, yeah. There's one in Durham that we can go, there's one in Durham that.
10:28 Speaker 02 If your child isn't registered. I think you've got to register.
10:32 Speaker 04 I don't think the birth was registered.
10:33 Speaker 03 Jesus Christ, read between the lines, Rosie. She went, not all, not everything has to be filmed. She went to the town hall, she got it sorted, then she sorted the passport. She stayed over maybe a couple of nights in a, a travel lodge, just a little city centre travel lodge, family room. And then she jumped on a plane to Bali and she's gone.
10:46 Speaker 04 The only problem with that in the script, it said, come on, we gotta go, the flight's at six. So.
10:50 Speaker 03 The flight, the.
10:51 Speaker 02 They're playing fast and loose, aren't they?
10:53 Speaker 03 I'm gonna fix this. The internal flight.
10:55 Speaker 04 Yeah.
10:55 Speaker 03 Um, to uh Newcastle Airport, cause she was going to Durham to get her passport renewed at the place I was just about to mention that we go to. There we go.
11:02 Speaker 04 Very good.
11:03 Speaker 03 Did you, or did you specifically say the flight to Bali's in ten minutes?
11:07 Speaker 04 Probably, yeah. It's soap world, don't it? Anything can happen in soap world.
11:11 Speaker 03 Honestly, I, I don't think I can fix this. I don't think I can fix this.
11:14 Speaker 02 So mad.
11:15 Speaker 03 So you came out and then you're doing, you're saying you did the documentary.
11:18 Speaker 04 Yeah, and I said, I thought, right, what am I gonna do? And then this opportunity came up for the documentary. And I'd looked after my dad, my dad lived with me. I was really lucky to have him with me for ages. He was like my best friend and he stayed with me and all the family. And when I lost him, I was with him right till the end and loved caring for him. And then I spoke to this production company, you know how they do, you've got any ideas, what do you wanna do, you know, it's like.
11:39 Speaker 02 Yeah.
11:40 Speaker 04 And I said, well, I've not really been in education for ever, since I was 16. I did the bare minimum and I had a job.
11:47 Speaker 03 So, so you did, but when you were 10, you started your standard, so you did that alongside school?
11:51 Speaker 04 Yeah.
11:52 Speaker 03 My god, was that mental?
11:53 Speaker 04 Yeah, but you're only there sort of 40 days a year because of the laws. And then when you're 30, it goes up to 80 days.
11:59 Speaker 03 But what was that like being on a huge saw while being at school?
12:04 Speaker 04 Just was what it was.
12:05 Speaker 02 I think the, it's, it's mad, isn't it? Cause children, you don't know any different.
12:08 Speaker 04 I've not, yeah, exactly that. People say, oh, but you've been famous. I, I can't remember not being recognised.
12:13 Speaker 02 Yeah.
12:14 Speaker 03 Yeah.
12:14 Speaker 02 Yeah.
12:14 Speaker 04 It's just the way my, it's just my life.
12:16 Speaker 03 Yeah.
12:17 Speaker 02 I think now as well, I keep trying to parent my kids like we're in the 90s and we're not in the 90s anymore.
12:22 Speaker 03 Like we're in our 90s and like we're not.
12:23 Speaker 02 And I'm like, yeah, but when we were kids, you know, they do not have our life. That we had, like, in so many ways, they do not have the same life as what we had.
12:32 Speaker 04 Yeah.
12:32 Speaker 02 Like, and it's, it's, yeah, so that, that must have been, but you didn't know any different.
12:36 Speaker 04 Didn't know any different, yeah. And I loved it, it was brilliant. Lucky place to work.
12:41 Speaker 02 Yeah.
12:41 Speaker 03 And again, like you say, in this world as well.
12:44 Speaker 04 Yeah.
12:44 Speaker 03 It's like a, it's, it's like a mortgage payer. It's like a boom, that sort of, you've got this regular job, like you say, it's like, you can do your panel shows, you can do your this, you can do that, you can come on podcasts, but then you've got bang, the day job, the real bang, constant, whack, whack, whack.
12:58 Speaker 04 And that is so rare.
12:59 Speaker 03 In this job, in this industry, it's so rare.
13:01 Speaker 04 What we do is so rare. It's like, like you say, having a proper job.
13:04 Speaker 02 Seven years later, we're still doing the podcast?
13:06 Speaker 03 We can't believe it.
13:06 Speaker 02 Because it's like, okay, but this is, this is a secure income.
13:10 Speaker 04 You're like the OGs of podcasting. I said to Chris earlier, I was on the train thinking, well, you're like the top, the first. Do you know what? You must think, you must think, what are all these idiots doing?
13:20 Speaker 03 Yeah.
13:21 Speaker 04 We've been doing this for so long.
13:22 Speaker 02 I would never see that.
13:23 Speaker 04 There's millions and millions of them coming out and you must be like, oh god, they're all, it's a little bit late for them.
13:29 Speaker 02 Would you love to know whose idea it was to start?
13:31 Speaker 04 Yeah.
13:31 Speaker 02 It's mine.
13:32 Speaker 04 Course it was.
13:35 Speaker 03 God, I hate it when we have female guests.
13:38 Speaker 02 Chris, I went to do a podcast and Chris went, what's a podcast?
13:41 Speaker 03 I didn't say what, I said what's the point. I knew what a podcast was.
13:44 Speaker 02 Oh no, sorry, you'd listen to the Ricky Gervais one, that was the only one you'd listen to.
13:47 Speaker 03 I was like, what's the point? You're gonna waste this. He's pointing at his face by the way for the audio here.
13:53 Speaker 03 You know, nah, but it was just, didn't feel weird.
13:55 Speaker 02 I'm a huge fan of podcasts though, so actually I'm like.
13:57 Speaker 04 I would not have known what a podcast was seven years ago.
13:59 Speaker 02 Did you not?
13:59 Speaker 04 No.
14:00 Speaker 02 No. And now you've got one?
14:02 Speaker 04 Yeah.
14:02 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:02 Speaker 04 You've been doing it for two years.
14:04 Speaker 02 Do you love it?
14:05 Speaker 04 I do love it.
14:05 Speaker 02 Yeah. I find it really freeing. I think it's really, because it's so different to the telly world where it's all quite, you've got to be very careful and scripted and all that kind of stuff. I think on our podcast, we're just like.
14:18 Speaker 04 Run free?
14:18 Speaker 02 Yeah. And it's, I love that about it.
14:21 Speaker 04 It has changed, I think, though, with all the video stuff. I think you, you know, for you guys, when you started, it was just very free because it was audio only.
14:29 Speaker 03 Yeah.
14:30 Speaker 04 And now it's changing and you're seeing, you're seeing even, you know, spin off television shows going and podcasts taking over. So it is, everything changes, doesn't it? I just sound like an old person, but I think everything moves and changes.
14:42 Speaker 03 We hate that it's video now. We hate that. We have to get ready, ready.
14:45 Speaker 02 Oh, and I know, I used to do mine in my pyjamas.
14:47 Speaker 04 Have you seen, have you seen my videos?
14:49 Speaker 03 No, no.
14:49 Speaker 02 What, on, I've seen them on YouTube.
14:51 Speaker 04 I look like a boiled egg.
14:52 Speaker 02 No, you don't.
14:54 Speaker 04 So some of them, if I've been out for the day, I look okay, but I will sit there, hair scraped up, no makeup on, pyjamas on.
15:01 Speaker 02 I don't get my makeup or anything done for that. I put a bit of makeup on, I try and do my hair, but it's very much like.
15:06 Speaker 04 I will show you what I look like on some of them, you won't believe it, Rachel. But then I just couldn't care less, so.
15:11 Speaker 02 But that's what people like about you though, and that's, it's, you're real. You're a real woman.
15:16 Speaker 04 Yeah.
15:16 Speaker 02 And I think we're losing that in the world.
15:20 Speaker 04 Oh, of course we are.
15:21 Speaker 02 So don't ever, don't ever change that.
15:23 Speaker 04 I would never.
15:24 Speaker 02 Do you know what I mean?
15:25 Speaker 04 It's hard though, isn't it, for us?
15:26 Speaker 02 Yeah.
15:27 Speaker 04 When you're looking, you're looking at everybody else. I think there's a lot at the moment, which is.
15:32 Speaker 02 It actually spurs me to go the other way though. Yeah, I don't know whether.
15:35 Speaker 04 I've never had any, I've never had a botox.
15:37 Speaker 02 No, me neither.
15:37 Speaker 04 Ejection in my life. I don't really have, what do you mean, here we go?
15:40 Speaker 03 This is, you're talking a language here.
15:42 Speaker 02 No, I am, I'm saying.
15:43 Speaker 03 We are burning bras here. We are burning fucking bras, guys.
15:47 Speaker 04 Well, I tell you what, I tell you what I think.
15:49 Speaker 02 Yeah.
15:49 Speaker 04 We're gonna make a fortune.
15:51 Speaker 02 What in what way?
15:51 Speaker 04 In years to come.
15:52 Speaker 02 Right, okay.
15:53 Speaker 04 Because it's not, because we're not, there's so many, we're gonna be, it's gonna be so rare
15:57 Speaker 02 Mmm.
15:58 Speaker 04 To have someone who's had nothing done.
15:59 Speaker 02 That's true.
16:00 Speaker 04 I did have my boobs done years ago though.
16:02 Speaker 02 Did you?
16:03 Speaker 04 I did.
16:03 Speaker 02 What did you get?
16:04 Speaker 03 Get out.
16:04 Speaker 02 A job or lift or what?
16:06 Speaker 04 Huh? A job, I was, I was nineteen or twenty one and I was much bigger down below and I wanted to even myself out, but that annoys me now. Having daughters.
16:14 Speaker 02 But you were on the telly and you had money?
16:16 Speaker 04 Yeah, I know.
16:17 Speaker 03 And you'd been recognised since you were ten. That does something to a person.
16:20 Speaker 02 I actually think the fact that you've never had more than that done is really commendable, bearing in mind that you've had to see your face on the television since you were a ten year old. I, I think, I think that's a really, really good, but my thing is though, right, so I genuinely.
16:35 Speaker 03 Before you do this point, can we just take a moment to say how genuinely terrified I was when you mentioned Botox and I went, oh, here we go. And she literally looked at us and went, what do you mean? And I literally, I'm not, I'm not kidding, I shat my pants a little bit. She literally looked at her, she went, what do you mean? And I was like, I'm on your side, what I was talking, fuck, like, I might have to change my underpants after this, carry on.
16:53 Speaker 02 But it's a hard, it's a hard conversation because all my mates get it done. And do you know what? They look fucking lush. Like, they genuinely do.
17:00 Speaker 04 I agree with you. Learn from mine.
17:02 Speaker 02 I'm literally like, my friend started doing it a couple of years ago and I was like, you know what? You've had Botox, you look amazing.
17:08 Speaker 04 They look fucking cracking.
17:09 Speaker 02 They look great. But I just find it, my whole argument on it is, I find it sad that they felt that they've had to have it done.
17:17 Speaker 04 But have they, have they felt they've had to or they?
17:19 Speaker 02 No, they want it to. And I, yeah, I get that, but also if it wasn't a thing, oh, I don't know. It's a really tricky, and I'm never ever, I'm not saying that I'm never gonna get it.
17:30 Speaker 04 But I'll tell you what, Ozzy, our skin's cracking.
17:32 Speaker 02 We have got quite, you've got really good skin. I did notice it when I walked in.
17:35 Speaker 04 You've got very good skin, so maybe.
17:37 Speaker 02 Okay.
17:37 Speaker 04 We're being a little bit disingenuous because we, we, we do.
17:40 Speaker 02 We're quite lucky genes.
17:41 Speaker 04 Yeah.
17:41 Speaker 02 And I'm also a massive hipper because I spend hundreds of pounds on my creams and my toners and everything. So the money that I'm not spending on Botox, I spend on creams.
17:50 Speaker 03 The layers of cream on her face on a knife. Her head's three times the size it is now when she goes to bed.
17:55 Speaker 02 It's ridiculous. So actually, so maybe I'm also feeding into a world of. The other, the other side of the world, what are you gonna say, you sleep with what?
18:04 Speaker 04 Makeup on. Don't wash my face.
18:06 Speaker 03 Really?
18:07 Speaker 04 Not all the time. Sometimes I'll put one of those masks on, the peel mask.
18:11 Speaker 02 Yeah.
18:12 Speaker 03 Or the, um, Hambalaka at the bottom of the lift shaft face.
18:16 Speaker 04 That's it.
18:16 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:17 Speaker 02 So you have just got really good genes.
18:19 Speaker 04 Yeah, I drink a lot of water.
18:21 Speaker 02 Yeah, I do as well.
18:22 Speaker 04 But I also drink a lot of wine.
18:23 Speaker 02 So do I, so do I.
18:25 Speaker 04 Don't know, swings and roundabouts.
18:26 Speaker 03 This is like, this is like the same character being played by someone from the north and someone from the south. It's ridiculous, it's like Cockney Rosie and Jordy Rosie.
18:37 Speaker 02 Oh, I did audition for my.
18:38 Speaker 03 I've had a boat tax, I've had a boat tax, haven't I darling? I drink loads of water, I drink loads of water darling, fucking hell.

20:22 Speaker 04 Depends. Never say never.
20:24 Speaker 02 I'm the same, because now I see all my friends, but I think we're at the, how old are you if you don't mind me asking?
20:29 Speaker 04 No, of course not, forty three.
20:30 Speaker 02 Forty three, I'm forty this year. I feel like-
20:32 Speaker 04 Oh, you're young. Really young.
20:35 Speaker 02 Three years old.
20:35 Speaker 03 Really?
20:36 Speaker 04 No, I know, but you're in your thirties, you're still in thirties.
20:38 Speaker 03 Oh, for another couple of months.
20:39 Speaker 02 Oh, Clint, we're-
20:40 Speaker 03 We're literally twenty seven days different to each other, yeah. I'm the third of August, she's the thirtieth of August, so I'm, yeah, we're both forty this year.
20:48 Speaker 04 Cracking, what are you doing? You've got to do something large, surely.
20:52 Speaker 03 I've already done it. I was, I was, I've just got back from a golf trip. I went and played golf with my mates.
20:56 Speaker 02 I went to Verona with my mum and my sister.
20:58 Speaker 04 Oh, that's lovely.
20:59 Speaker 02 Um, we're so lucky because we work together. Whenever we come down to London to do this, we have a bit of a night.
21:06 Speaker 04 Time together, yeah.
21:07 Speaker 03 We have lovely nights.
21:08 Speaker 02 So we're really lucky in that way. So actually, I don't feel like we need to do it. We're going on a lovely family holiday.
21:12 Speaker 04 Yeah.
21:13 Speaker 02 Quite a spendsy one next month.
21:15 Speaker 04 Nice, nice.
21:16 Speaker 02 So I feel like we are doing some lovely little things and we might have a little gathering of the friends.
21:20 Speaker 03 Yeah.
21:20 Speaker 02 We're chatting about. Um, but, but yeah, so yeah.
21:24 Speaker 03 I was saying, like, when you've done the stuff we've done, like, we've sold out the O2, like, we've done all these huge things, so you go like, these massive things where, ah, so you go like, you know.
21:32 Speaker 04 Isn't that mad to sell out the O2 with a podcast? Don't you think that's mad?
21:36 Speaker 03 That was nuts.
21:36 Speaker 02 It was insane.
21:37 Speaker 03 It was nuts.
21:38 Speaker 04 You've got world record, wasn't you, in the Guinness World Records?
21:40 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We, we, we're literally, we couldn't remember, like, we couldn't barely remember it. It was a whirlwind, wasn't it?
21:46 Speaker 04 I mean, I get excited when I sell out Hartford Bean, which is like a hundred and forty people or something, and I feel really proud.
21:51 Speaker 02 But that's a hundred and forty people!
21:52 Speaker 03 People, I will ne- I will never, ever not be so humbled.
21:56 Speaker 04 That people come out.
21:57 Speaker 03 When they, honestly, you're looking through the curtain, when they're sitting down, they're taking their coats off, they're putting their bags on, they're sitting down and they're looking, getting ready for you to come out. It's the most incredible feeling in the world. And people think I'm full of shit when I say I have moments on stage where I'm still like, I can't believe you're here.
22:10 Speaker 04 It's so true.
22:11 Speaker 03 And you're listening and you're laughing, it's mental.
22:13 Speaker 04 It's so true.
22:13 Speaker 03 Point being, when you've done stuff like that together as well, we did the O2, they went and stayed in a nice hotel and so, filling the local community centre with your mates and putting a spread on, it's like, it's nice, but we didn't need to do that.
22:23 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:23 Speaker 03 Do you know what I mean? It's like, it's fine, thanks for coming, but I'd have rather just had a quiet one and went for a- Curry, like, we don't need everyone here.
22:29 Speaker 02 We, we're proper like foodies, so for us.
22:32 Speaker 04 So am I.
22:32 Speaker 02 That's what, that's all I wanna do. I'm like, I just wanna go for a meal.
22:35 Speaker 04 Tasty menu.
22:36 Speaker 03 Yeah.
22:36 Speaker 02 Oh my god, tasty with the wine pairing.
22:38 Speaker 04 Get a bit of cheese at the end. Have you been to the Ledbury?
22:41 Speaker 03 She doesn't do cheese.
22:42 Speaker 02 I don't like cheese.
22:43 Speaker 04 Have you been to the Ledbury?
22:44 Speaker 02 No, what is the Ledbury?
22:45 Speaker 04 Just write it down and go, please.
22:46 Speaker 02 Where is it?
22:47 Speaker 04 Notting Hill.
22:48 Speaker 02 Oh, okay. The Ledbury, right.
22:51 Speaker 04 The Ledbury, right.
22:52 Speaker 03 Ledbury.
22:53 Speaker 02 Oh, I haven't heard of it either.
22:54 Speaker 04 You need to go there.
22:55 Speaker 02 Is it a tasty menu?
22:56 Speaker 04 Yeah.
22:57 Speaker 03 Wine pairing.
22:58 Speaker 04 Extortionate.
22:58 Speaker 03 Of course it is.
22:59 Speaker 04 But it's a beauty, brilliant.
23:00 Speaker 02 Think, do you know what it is? I think if you work hard, I, I always kind of put it to different ways. You know, me, sometimes me friends and that. I, we like really nice wine. I don't go out very much.
23:11 Speaker 04 You're always, I think we are the same person.
23:13 Speaker 02 I think we are.
23:14 Speaker 03 It's horrible.
23:14 Speaker 02 I'd rather spend thirty pound on a nice bottle of wine and have it in the house. It where, that I pay me mortgage for, that I love, right, in me pyjamas, being comfortable watching film.
23:23 Speaker 04 But I like going to the pub. Mark and I will always, we'll pop over the pub.
23:26 Speaker 02 Yeah.
23:27 Speaker 04 But we don't really do, I like being at home with the kids.
23:30 Speaker 02 Me too.
23:30 Speaker 04 I enjoy being at home.
23:32 Speaker 03 This is so horrible.
23:33 Speaker 04 I love being at home, but I, you know when people go, oh, you gotta go out, you gotta have a life. You gotta go away on your own. I don't wanna go away on my own.
23:40 Speaker 03 Yeah.
23:41 Speaker 04 I like going away with, with my family.
23:44 Speaker 03 Rosie's perfect idea of, of a night is just sit in the house.
23:48 Speaker 04 Yeah.
23:48 Speaker 03 She's having a drink, she's watching the telly, the kids and me, we're, we're around, but we're not bothering her.
23:53 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah.
23:53 Speaker 03 Like, we're there, but we're not bothering her. So in a perfect world, I'm maybe doing bedtime and you're just sitting with a glass of wine.
23:57 Speaker 04 Yeah, perfect.
23:58 Speaker 03 That's a perfect night.
23:59 Speaker 02 I just always wanna be, I wanna be near them, cause I just feel like, I don't know, it's like a, it's like a lovely feeling.
24:05 Speaker 04 Yeah.
24:05 Speaker 02 But I don't want them to bother us.
24:06 Speaker 04 Yeah.
24:07 Speaker 02 I wanna, I wanna go in the bath.
24:08 Speaker 03 She wants them to be there, but she doesn't wanna have to get up to make a juice.
24:11 Speaker 02 Yeah. Yeah, I don't wanna have to get up and do anything. That is mine, that's what I want for me fortieth. I've said this before.
24:16 Speaker 03 Yeah.
24:17 Speaker 02 I want a night in the house from, let's say from four o'clock, right, from when they get into school, you do everything. They can come and say hello to us, I wanna cuddle. Right.
24:26 Speaker 03 They can have five minutes each.
24:27 Speaker 02 I want like cuddles and stuff, but I don't wanna have to do anything and I don't want them to bother us. I'm just gonna have that.
24:31 Speaker 03 No.
24:31 Speaker 02 I'll go in the nice room, I'll shut the door.
24:34 Speaker 03 Okay.
24:34 Speaker 02 Right.
24:35 Speaker 03 Yes, of course you can have that. You can have, you can have that tomorrow night when we get. At home if you want, I'm not bothered.
24:38 Speaker 02 Ah. Oh, you canny.
24:40 Speaker 04 My nice lounge is now got a lot of kids' stuff in it, which is really upsetting.
24:45 Speaker 02 Oh, you've got to be strong.
24:46 Speaker 04 I'll tell you what, I try. But because the nine year old now, she's just watched The Devil Wears Prada.
24:51 Speaker 02 Amazing.
24:51 Speaker 04 She watched the first one.
24:52 Speaker 02 The first one.
24:53 Speaker 04 And then we went to the cinema.
24:54 Speaker 02 Oh, did you love it?
24:54 Speaker 04 Watched the second one. She didn't really like the second one as much, but I think it's when you know the first one, the second one is all the nostalgia. I was crying all the way through. Um, but she wants to play that now, so she gets all of my magazines, magazines and Vogue magazines and old one. And she has them all and I have to do, I have to be my own streep. I'm like, that's all. And we play the game, but she's in the lounge, that's where the magazines are. So there's suddenly a laptop and a notebook and a pencil and I'm like, I can't have this.
25:19 Speaker 02 I know, I know, I know. But we've got such a big age gap between our two, that they don't necessarily like the same TV programmes. So the older one has slipped into the nice room. And I'll just find like, I'll find like ice lolly sticks, like on the side of the sofa. And then I'll, and I'm just like, oh, Jesus Christ.
25:41 Speaker 03 We haven't talked about this.
25:42 Speaker 02 Got his arse out on the sofa, I don't know.
25:44 Speaker 03 We haven't talked about this, but he, the way he finishes an ice lolly and then he chews that stick.
25:50 Speaker 04 Yeah.
25:51 Speaker 03 Within an inch of its like, we're out to the, I'm like, mate, you're gonna get splinters in your gums. Like, how will you do it? He just chews everything. It's you. It's you, you're a chewer, aren't you?
25:59 Speaker 02 I, I loved a good chew when I was a kid. Um, we're gonna, we're gonna do this question because we have just sat and chatted.
26:06 Speaker 03 Hold on, let's quickly, very quickly, very.
26:08 Speaker 04 Go on.
26:08 Speaker 03 Well, what's the question?
26:09 Speaker 02 I wasn't, I was just gonna, before we're finished, uh, mention Nat's podcast, Life with Nat.
26:14 Speaker 03 Oh, the podcast.
26:16 Speaker 02 She records at home and she's a one man band, she does everything.
26:19 Speaker 04 Well, you say everything.
26:21 Speaker 02 No, you get the WhatsApps and everything, don't you?
26:22 Speaker 04 WhatsApps on my phone, yeah.
26:24 Speaker 03 What?
26:25 Speaker 04 There's a lot to go through.
26:26 Speaker 02 Insane.
26:27 Speaker 04 But it's good.
26:28 Speaker 02 A lot of them just like, love, Junie Stenders.
26:31 Speaker 04 No, they just, they love, they love the topics, don't they? People are very passionate.
26:35 Speaker 02 I've got another thing to ask you, dead quickly.
26:37 Speaker 04 Yeah.
26:37 Speaker 02 Did you enjoy Mighty Hoopla?
26:39 Speaker 04 Oh, it was so good.
26:39 Speaker 02 It looked so, I'm desperate to go.
26:41 Speaker 04 Honest, it was brilliant. You've got to go.
26:43 Speaker 03 What's Mighty Hoopla?
26:44 Speaker 04 It was so fun. It's just a wonderful, massive, big LGBTQ festival. It's like Pride in a festival.
26:50 Speaker 02 It just looks amazing.
26:51 Speaker 04 And I went on a Sonia, they asked me to go on a Sonia, and I, I actually got, uh, uh, my, my niece who's on the problem, she got me, um, uh, on eBay, a Peach bridesmaid dress, and I took my trumpet and I was on stage and, uh, uh, the guys went mad. I died.
27:06 Speaker 02 So, well, do you know, do you know Hunn's Net?
27:08 Speaker 04 Yeah, of course.
27:09 Speaker 02 Do you know Gareth from Hunn's Net?
27:10 Speaker 04 Yeah, lovely Gareth.
27:11 Speaker 02 He used to be my boss at Puddins, yep.
27:13 Speaker 04 Brilliant.
27:14 Speaker 02 And then I worked in Rhodes with him for two years.
27:15 Speaker 04 Oh.
27:16 Speaker 02 And he's just living his dream and it's so good to see. I know, it's class. He's such a nice guy. Um, but yeah, that's, that's amazing. Right, okay, but we're gonna do these.
27:23 Speaker 03 Well, I was gonna ask about the, what, didn't you mention the documentary?
27:27 Speaker 04 Yeah, we have, we have.
27:28 Speaker 03 It's just great, isn't it? I love that. Well, the people, the people come in.
27:32 Speaker 04 The doc, the doc's been a success. It's been amazing. People, people can relate to it. There's eight episodes, half an hours. It's on daytime, but you can catch it on iPlayer.
27:42 Speaker 02 Care and together.
27:43 Speaker 04 Care and together, and it, it's, it's just very real. It's not sexy, it's not glamorous, but I'm back to college.
27:48 Speaker 03 But you've got your health and social care, like you've went and done it.
27:52 Speaker 04 Got a distinction.
27:53 Speaker 02 Good, of course you did.
27:54 Speaker 04 Can't believe it.
27:55 Speaker 02 Good for you.
27:56 Speaker 03 That's amazing.
27:56 Speaker 04 Crammed in the work as well.
27:58 Speaker 02 See, well.
27:59 Speaker 03 And that's proper, that's not tellyed. You genuinely got.
28:01 Speaker 04 No, no, I worked hard. I did two assignments, did an exam. Yeah, no, I was really proud because like I said, not being at school for so long.
28:07 Speaker 02 You didn't, you got a college, nothing, yeah.
28:08 Speaker 04 It was bloody daunting going back into a classroom.
28:10 Speaker 03 That's amazing.
28:11 Speaker 04 With all the kids, like sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years.
28:13 Speaker 03 Oh my god, did you look like, um, did you look like Elf?
28:16 Speaker 02 Be careful, Chris.
28:19 Speaker 02 Is that when you wish you'd got your more dogs?
28:22 Speaker 03 I mean, did you look like Buddy the Elf in Elf? Just massive on a toilet.
28:25 Speaker 04 I did, on a tiny chair, I actually did.
28:28 Speaker 02 Oh, but I know you should be really proud of yourself, right?
28:30 Speaker 03 Careful, Chris. See, I've just had a couple, just snapped on me a couple of times. Yeah, honestly, I'm living on the edge, yeah.
28:34 Speaker 02 She's worked, she's been in this business.
28:36 Speaker 03 I'm getting adrenaline, I'm getting adrenaline, don't.
28:37 Speaker 02 100 of you.
28:39 Speaker 03 No, they're all full of testosterone. I'm very easy to get on with.
28:42 Speaker 04 Calming with the full fa, full head of hair.
28:46 Speaker 02 Yeah, you need to stop talking about full heads of hair, don't you?
28:48 Speaker 03 Yeah, people get very triggered by it. I'm very lucky.
28:51 Speaker 04 Oh, do you know something? That's the only thing they've got to fucking worry about, men. Bit of hair on their head.
28:55 Speaker 02 Didn't want to say.
28:56 Speaker 04 Jesus Christ.
28:58 Speaker 02 Mine, though, it must be sad when your hair falls. I could imagine it being quite triggering.
29:03 Speaker 04 I can imagine it's sad.
29:04 Speaker 03 Two things I never take the piss out of. Two things. Hair fever suffers for us bald blokes.
29:09 Speaker 04 Please don't talk to me about hair fever.
29:10 Speaker 03 There we go, see? I will never have a go at anyone for that thing. Because you can just get hair fever one year, which is just awful.
29:16 Speaker 04 Do you know how many fexofenadine I take a day?
29:18 Speaker 03 How many?
29:18 Speaker 04 Four.
29:19 Speaker 02 Oh, God.
29:20 Speaker 03 Non-dozy, I assume?
29:22 Speaker 04 Well, thank God. Like that. Nice to be here.
29:27 Speaker 02 Bless you, though. That's intense, isn't it?
29:29 Speaker 04 You're right.
29:29 Speaker 03 Two things I never take the piss out of can happen at any point to anyone. Terrifying.
29:33 Speaker 04 No, it is terrifying. I'm just saying that we go through more.
29:35 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
29:36 Speaker 03 Not a competition, was it? So...
29:38 Speaker 04 No, it's just factual.
29:39 Speaker 03 Nah, not a competition, was it?
29:41 Speaker 02 Look at me, Sean, sitting with these disgusting men.
29:44 Speaker 03 Oh, here it is.
29:45 Speaker 04 I'm just doing it to wind him up.
29:46 Speaker 03 Here it is.
29:47 Speaker 04 I love men. Love women. I'm not a man hater.
29:50 Speaker 03 If I wake up bald tomorrow, it's her fault.
29:53 Speaker 02 I'm not a man hater. They get on my nerves, but I don't. I can't be now. I've got two sons.
29:57 Speaker 04 Well, there you go.
29:57 Speaker 02 I've had to really change my whole view on men, you know. Now that I've got two sons, I'm like, oh, God, I have to really actually sort of like understand them.
30:05 Speaker 04 Yeah.
30:06 Speaker 03 But you're in a beautiful position where you can raise two brilliant men and release them out into the world who are caring and kind and understanding of the plight of women that is always fucking going on about.
30:17 Speaker 02 Oh, God, I like... No, well, yeah, they've got no choice. Literally, Robin, Robin asked me, oh, my God. He didn't say it right, but he asked me if I was penny menopausal.
30:29 Speaker 02 Brilliant.
30:30 Speaker 04 I love it when they get words wrong to you.
30:33 Speaker 02 I went, where have you heard about that? Where have you seen it? Was it on The Simpsons?
30:37 Speaker 03 He's seen it on something, yeah, yeah.
30:38 Speaker 02 It was on something?
30:39 Speaker 03 He called us helicopter. My parents did, they did.
30:41 Speaker 02 Oh, no, he said, honestly, he's gaslighting us.
30:44 Speaker 03 He's got some sass on him, that kid.
30:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, anyway.
30:46 Speaker 03 He wanted to go, he wanted to go jet skiing on holiday.
30:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
30:50 Speaker 03 Kept wanting to go jet skiing.
30:52 Speaker 02 Yeah.
30:52 Speaker 03 Asking us all the time. I went, you don't, first day, jet ski. Like, we'd just got there. I'm like, you don't get, you don't get off the plane and get on the jet ski. That's not how you do a holiday, pal. You pace yourself. Remember, can you remember what he said? We're sitting around, you were like, it was two o'clock or whatever, three o'clock. You were like, shall we have a little afternoon drink? I was like, we'll have a little afternoon drink. I was like, do you want a, do you want a G and, a G and T? You went, yeah, I'll have a G and T. And he leant in, he went, how about we go and do a bit of G and S? Jet ski. Prick.
31:18 Speaker 03 We had to just laugh. We were like, you know what? He's nailed that. How about we'll do a bit of G and S?
31:22 Speaker 02 I thought you were gonna say, he turned around and said, listen, you've got to pace yourself with those drinks.
31:26 Speaker 03 Yeah, oh, he would, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, he loves having a go. Loves having a go when you've got a drink in your hand.
31:31 Speaker 02 Can't go on the jet, no, I thought you said, dad, you can't go on the jet ski.
31:33 Speaker 03 That's it, yeah. And I will do it tomorrow then.

32:40 Speaker 01 King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?
32:42 Speaker 07 Uh, Taylor Hanson? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.
32:47 Speaker 07 Hey, let's get back to work, please. But Taylor Hanson's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. Taylor Hanson? Nice. Try one. Mmm.
33:00 Speaker 07 King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.
33:02 Speaker 03 There's nothing like it.
33:10 Speaker 02 Listen, let's do this.
33:11 Speaker 04 Right, here we go.
33:14 Speaker 04 Dear Chris and Rosie, please keep me anonymous.
33:17 Speaker 02 Always.
33:18 Speaker 04 A few years ago, my husband and I went to a neighbour's yard sale. We picked up a large tent and a pop-up shade canopy. Both were packed in canvas bags, so we took them home and we decided to put them together to make sure all the pieces were there.
33:33 Speaker 03 Second-hand tents upset me, something rotten.
33:35 Speaker 04 Don't know why you'd do it. We put the tent up back in the yard, everything was great. Out of space in the back, we started to assemble the shade canopy in the front. We quickly ran into difficulty. It just didn't seem to fit together in the way we thought it should. In the bag was the web address of the manufacturer. Only when we went to the website for assembly instructions, did we realise what we were actually putting together in our front yard was some kind of sex bondage cage.
34:08 Speaker 03 Front garden.
34:09 Speaker 02 Oh my god.
34:10 Speaker 03 They put the other one in the back. The front street.
34:15 Speaker 03 Oh, number 14, I put the sex dungeon up again, yeah.
34:17 Speaker 04 After a quick laugh, we scrambled to get the structure down, back into the bag and into the garage. Luckily, the neighbours who had the yard sale were moving, so we never had to see them again. The bondage apparatus stayed in the bag in our garage until I became too haunted by the possibility that we might die and a loved one would find it while going for our feelings.
34:41 Speaker 04 We agreed we were both too mortified to try to sell it, so we got rid of it piece by piece in the recycling and trash.
34:48 Speaker 02 Oh, what was it?
34:50 Speaker 03 The great escape list. The great escape list, you know, when they're shaking the, yeah, when they're shaking the rod out of the van, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:55 Speaker 04 Tripping away.
34:58 Speaker 02 So I'm imagining just like a little, it's sort of like a box, isn't it?
35:02 Speaker 03 Can I just say, the idea that there is a market out there catering for people who don't have the spare room space to make an actual sex dungeon. So you're going to actually just make a pop up one is so sad, but so sweet in a way.
35:17 Speaker 04 But where are you putting that if you've bought one of those? What are you doing with that? Popping it up in the posh lounge?
35:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, well, no, the office, you'll just, we'll move your desk to the corner, we'll push the chair over there, we'll put the thing and then we'll pop that up. We'll do the bondage and then we'll take that back down because you know, you've got to work, you've got to zoom on Monday morning.
35:32 Speaker 02 That's one thing from doing this podcast, we have learnt that people have very different lives. Like everybody lives, we're very vanilla, we are hugely vanilla. We've learned some stuff.
35:42 Speaker 04 Yeah.
35:42 Speaker 02 But it's fine, each to their own.
35:44 Speaker 04 Each to their own, yeah.
35:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, if they're not hurting anyone, but.
35:47 Speaker 03 I just love the happy ending of that story. They moved so they never had to see them again and then they got rid of it. It's just perfect, but front lawn, front lawn. The only, the only sort of saving grace is if they didn't realise what it was. But then again, it might be one of the things where while you're busy doing it, you didn't realise, but from a distance, it might be, you know, sometimes you've got to step back to see what something is.
36:07 Speaker 04 I don't know if I would even know, do you know what I mean? I don't know if I would realise.
36:10 Speaker 03 Well, it wasn't until they went to the website, was it?
36:12 Speaker 04 But what's the difference between kind of a cage? Well, I suppose it's a cage, not a tent. But I don't know, or you know, it could be a large dog pen or it could be, I wouldn't really know.
36:22 Speaker 03 I like the idea that the backside of it that they weren't looking at had some explicit either words or picture on it and it never went round that end.
36:28 Speaker 02 Yeah, I'd have to finish putting it together and see what it looked like. I'd have to have a shot on it. I feel like you'd have to, wouldn't you?
36:35 Speaker 04 Yeah, you'd have to pop it up, so to speak.
36:37 Speaker 03 Pop up, very good, great. You'd have to pop it up. Great work. Absolutely great work. Unbelievable.
36:43 Speaker 02 Um, we've done now. I could sit and talk. This was what I was like, do you remember when I came back from the sun, babe?
36:49 Speaker 04 Yeah, we didn't stop talking, did we?
36:50 Speaker 02 Yeah, and I was like, I could have just sat and talked.
36:52 Speaker 04 If we were at school, we would have got told off.
36:53 Speaker 02 Yeah.
36:54 Speaker 03 Yeah, you're the same person, it's terrifying.
36:55 Speaker 04 We'd be nattering, we'd go, oh, what are we doing now?
36:58 Speaker 02 We didn't stop talking.
36:59 Speaker 04 Yeah.
36:59 Speaker 03 There it is.
37:00 Speaker 02 But thank you so much.

37:09 Speaker 04 Yeah.
37:10 Speaker 02 Are you going anywhere nice?
37:11 Speaker 04 Yeah, Montenegro.
37:13 Speaker 02 What?
37:14 Speaker 04 Oh, I know, it's wild.
37:15 Speaker 03 Where is, where is Montenegro?
37:16 Speaker 02 Where's Montenegro?
37:17 Speaker 04 My niece Elia said, Natalie, just book something different. You drive me mad. I go to Cornwall. Every year, we love Cornwall.
37:23 Speaker 02 Well, beautiful.
37:24 Speaker 04 Beautiful, I love it. She said, just, it's meant to be really nice, just book it. And I did. Just went, just went on Airbnb, did it?
37:30 Speaker 02 We, I was just talk, this is so weird, because I was just talking this morning about we need to get a bit more adventurous with holidays.
37:36 Speaker 04 Have a look at Montenegro.
37:37 Speaker 02 Okay, I will.
37:38 Speaker 04 Looks ever so nice.
37:39 Speaker 02 Oh, do you know where?
37:40 Speaker 04 Yeah, it's very close to Croatia. It used to be, it's all of that area.
37:42 Speaker 02 Right, okay, okay.
37:44 Speaker 04 World Cup starts next week.
37:45 Speaker 02 Oh, I like the World Cup, yeah. I don't support football, but I like the World Cup.
37:48 Speaker 04 I've got all the sticker books, like a child.
37:50 Speaker 03 Wow.
37:52 Speaker 04 Yeah, I've got all the sticker, I know, sad.
37:55 Speaker 02 Got to have hobbies, got to have hobbies.
37:56 Speaker 03 As well, I've read in your notes, obviously, it was one of these conversations where we're, no, it's one of these conversations where we didn't have any, we didn't have to read any of your notes, just be like, we didn't have to use any notes because of a bloody chat. But you did, it said, it said in your notes that you consider yourself an old soul. And I would a hundred percent agree with that now, because no one has ever come off this podcast at the end and gone, I hope you have a lovely summer.
38:17 Speaker 04 I know, I'm like an old person.
38:17 Speaker 03 Thanks for having us, you both look well, I hope you had a lovely summer.
38:19 Speaker 04 I know, I'm like an old person.
38:20 Speaker 03 I feel like your amount of offers are fucking worth as original.
38:26 Speaker 03 It's been a pleasure, thank you.

38:28 Speaker 02 Thank you.
