Partner Advice, Phrogging And The Importance Of A Good Curry

Would you rather find 10,000 cockroaches or a man living in your loft? On this week’s Wolf & Owl, Tom and Romesh tackle some very important questions, sent in by you, including how to show appreciation and whether there’s anything wrong with a woman proposing to a man. Things take a turn when they debate: would you rather discover 10,000 cockroaches in your loft, or one mysterious man who has secretly been living there for four years? And to help get to the answer, a role-play ensues, where Tom takes on the part of a very questionable phrogger. Plus, the boys discuss what makes a great curry and who’d make the best dinner guests for a curry night out. A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform Media.

  Hello and welcome to the Wolf and Al email special. We're gonna go through some emails for you.

• 0:10Speaker 01

  Oh yeah.

• 0:11Speaker 00

  [email protected] if you want to send anything in and we would love to deal with it.

• 0:15Speaker 01

  Today's episode is sponsored by Friendship.

• 0:20Speaker 00

  Really nice. Uh, should we get into the questions, Tom Don?

• 0:23Speaker 01

  Let's do it. Do you want to go first or do you want me to?

• 0:25Speaker 00

  Uh, it's up to you.

• 0:28Speaker 01

  Uh, shall I run this one on?

• 0:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, go on. Yeah, go for it.

• 0:31Speaker 01

  Dear Wolf and Al, I just wanted-

• 0:33Speaker 00

  Take your time, take your time.

• 0:34Speaker 01

  Slower?

• 0:35Speaker 00

  No, I'm just saying, just relax into it.

• 0:36Speaker 01

  Dear Wolf and Al, I just wanted to start off by saying thank you for your amazing podcast. I started listening earlier this year when I went on maternity leave. Thank you for keeping me company during the otherwise lonely nights. I wanted your advice on how I can show some appreciation to my husband. He truly is the best husband and father we could ask for. He works very long shifts, including night shifts. But despite this, he always prioritizes his family. He tries to make sure we have, I have time for myself every day. And is so respectful and grateful for the days that I spend at home looking after the baby. We don't have any family nearby, so we are the only support system for each other.

• 1:20Speaker 01

  And I think this experience has brought out the best in each other and made us a stronger team. I really want to show my appreciation for him, but the problem is that the best way is physical touch and bedroom antics, which is understandably on pause at the moment. I find it uncomfortable to get up too much when our little baby is in the same room. Do you have any advice on how I can show my appreciation while this preferred method is slightly out of bounds? Thank you very much. The grateful Robin.

• 1:49Speaker 00

  Um, very tough when you've got a bar bar in the house, isn't it?

• 1:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:55Speaker 00

  Very, very difficult.

• 1:56Speaker 01

  I would say as well, I, I personally think the idea that that is the way of showing your appreciation isn't necessarily-

• 2:06Speaker 00

  No.

• 2:06Speaker 01

  I, I think that, by the sounds of this chap, I don't think that he'd be expecting that to be the way his-

• 2:12Speaker 00

  Bearing in mind that he sounds like an absolute legend.

• 2:14Speaker 01

  I mean, he sounds like an incredible human being.

• 2:16Speaker 00

  We don't really like emails in about really great partners.

• 2:19Speaker 01

  Really, really lovely guys.

• 2:20Speaker 00

  Because-

• 2:22Speaker 01

  So-

• 2:22Speaker 00

  Makes us look terrible.

• 2:24Speaker 01

  I, I would, I would say, I, I think just saying to someone, I think, I think in relationships, you can go for a long time in your relationship, assuming that someone knows you're grateful, assuming that they know that you're grateful of how much they're doing for you. And you just kind of, it's assumptions are made, you've been together a long time and you're, you're going, I think, you know, the first few months, years of having a little one are quite, they're quite demanding on your relationship, quite demanding on you as people individually. But I actually think you can almost get lost a little bit in, in it, just actually showing your gratitude for each other. Um, and I think it's also worth saying that as much as you feel that you want to show him appreciation for everything he's doing, he probably feels the same on the basis that

• 3:10Speaker 01

  you're doing a lot. And I think it's, it's, it's worth saying, you are doing an incredible job as well as a mother and someone who, who's at home. I think sometimes, I think that's the hardest thing that can get lost a little bit in the basis that you're, you know, you can sometimes feel that you, you, your appreciation, you're like, oh wow, this guy, you know, I'm so blessed that he's doing all this stuff for me. Uh, you can lose actually sight of quite how incredible you are as a human being. So I don't think that you should lose that, you know, upon yourself. And I think it's actually just spending a little bit of time talking together and talking about how you feel. I think, you know, what, you know, I think when, when you've got a baby in the house, I think that side of your relationship can take a bit of a knock. I think that's just natural.

• 3:56Speaker 01

  But I think also just being

• 3:59Speaker 01

  having enough weather to go, okay, this is just a different stage in our relationship at the moment, where that isn't on the cards. Then actually just emotionally be there for each other and, and, and be there just to talk about those things. And actually, I, I certainly noticed it with me and Catherine, I think that another stage of our relationship has grown since having Grace, which that we try to converse, we try to tell each other, we try to sort of

• 4:25Speaker 01

  celebrate our appreciation for each other. And I think that's just something it's worth thinking about. And, and like I say, recognizing yourself for doing an incredible job as a mother, round of applause. Keep doing what you're doing.

• 4:39Speaker 00

  Um, I think when you've got a young baby, thinking about how you're going to show your partner appreciation is not on the cards right now. I think you've got your hands full enough as it is. And you've both had a child, so you both deserve appreciation. Do you know what I mean? You're doing something really, really difficult. It's really hard. You're living from hour to hour. It's really, really difficult. So I wouldn't worry about that for now. I think what Tom said is right. I think you show gratitude and you make sure you're kind to each other through what is a really challenging time. And then you can both figure out a way to, to sort of show each other appreciation when you're in a place where you can do that. Do you know what I mean? Which will be in 18 to 20 years. Uh, no, just kidding. It gets easier before that. Um-

• 5:22Speaker 01

  What, seven, eight?

• 5:24Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 5:26Speaker 00

  No, it's magical. Um, but yeah, I, I wouldn't worry about that for now. I think that you're, it's great that you two are in such a great place in what is, you know, it's really difficult having a kid. Um, but I don't think you, you haven't got the, you ain't got the headspace or the energy to be thinking about how to show pretty- that's not what this is about. You're trying to, you know, figure your way through this as new parent. So I think you just need to focus on that. And then, you know, and, and, and just be kind to each other in your words and stuff like that. And, and, and he will know that you're appreciative. So don't worry too much about that. Um,

• 6:03Speaker 00

  or just make him like a really good curry. Uh, okay.

• 6:06Speaker 01

  I've not had a good curry for a while.

• 6:07Speaker 00

  I haven't either.

• 6:10Speaker 01

  I keep thinking about-

• 6:11Speaker 00

  Do you know what I mean? Like I mean a knockout one.

• 6:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. It's, my neighbour's wife's away on holiday at the moment. She usually makes us the best curries.

• 6:20Speaker 01

  I keep thinking about-

• 6:21Speaker 00

  Do you know what I mean? Like I mean a knockout one.

• 6:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. It's, my neighbour's wife's away on holiday at the moment. She usually makes us the best curries.

• 6:30Speaker 01

  It's quite difficult.

• 6:31Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:31Speaker 01

  I've got addicted to her curry, but it's not a restaurant, so I can't go there whenever I want.

• 6:35Speaker 00

  You can't make requests, can you?

• 6:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a lottery. Also, she sometimes cooks amazing curries, then sometimes she'll try something a little bit new. And I'm like, stick to the classics that you're in.

• 6:48Speaker 01

  He's such an amazing guy. He's one of my favourite human beings, this guy. He's, but he'll come around and he'll say, oh yeah, this, you know, we've got this. And I'm like, oh, this is, yeah, this-

• 6:58Speaker 00

  It's horrible.

• 6:58Speaker 01

  Yeah. If you come in round, is there, is there a menu option?

• 7:03Speaker 01

  Um, your Samoas are incredible. We've not had them for six months.

• 7:06Speaker 00

  What's the best place to go for a curry? Is there like some top notch?

• 7:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, everyone I speak to tells me that it's the places you, that look like you wouldn't go in them.

• 7:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:15Speaker 01

  Like where I live nearby, there's like two big areas. And they're like, if you go there, don't go to anywhere that looks like you would go, oh, that's really nice. We're going to go in there. Look for a place that doesn't look nice and go, that'll be an amazing curry.

• 7:27Speaker 00

  Hmm, okay. We should go for a curry soon, please.

• 7:30Speaker 01

  Oh, I'd love to.

• 7:31Speaker 00

  Sorry, we've gone off the point a bit.

• 7:32Speaker 01

  You know, by the way, who's a great curry guy to go for curry with? Jeff Norcott.

• 7:35Speaker 00

  Why do you say that?

• 7:36Speaker 01

  I just think he's a nice guy to go for a curry with.

• 7:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, he's a nice guy to go for curry with.

• 7:38Speaker 01

  He brings a nice curry energy to it.

• 7:40Speaker 00

  Well, we went to Bombay Bussa with him, didn't we?

• 7:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was lovely.

• 7:42Speaker 00

  It was great. It was really nice.

• 7:43Speaker 01

  Norcott's got a really good, he, he just brings a nice, yeah.

• 7:46Speaker 00

  The reason I hesitate is the last time I went for curry with him, no, it wasn't the last time, a few times ago.

• 7:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 7:52Speaker 00

  He had a bit of a shock of recommendation and he felt really bad about it.

• 7:55Speaker 01

  Oh, really?

• 7:55Speaker 00

  For quite a while afterwards, yeah. But, you know.

• 7:57Speaker 01

  He, by the way, although you, because he's someone you could imagine isn't going to carry that, but he does. He's a very sensitive soul, Jeff.

• 8:03Speaker 00

  He is very sensitive.

• 8:04Speaker 01

  I love that about him. I adore Jeff Norcott.

• 8:07Speaker 00

  Okay, uh-

• 8:09Speaker 01

  Yes, we should, we should have a curry boys' night.

• 8:11Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 8:11Speaker 01

  Jeff Norcott, Josh Widdecombe, Rob Beckett, you, me.

• 8:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 8:15Speaker 01

  Let's think about-

• 8:16Speaker 00

  Catherine Ryan?

• 8:17Speaker 01

  Catherine Ryan would be great.

• 8:17Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 8:18Speaker 01

  Yeah?

• 8:18Speaker 00

  Um-

• 8:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's, yeah.

• 8:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 8:21Speaker 01

  That's a great night out.

• 8:22Speaker 00

  It's a great, it's a really good night out.

• 8:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. Do you know who else would be great for that? Shane Connelly.

• 8:26Speaker 00

  Yeah, great. All right. Why don't we just invite the industry?

• 8:28Speaker 01

  Well, no, not the industry.

• 8:29Speaker 00

  No, but I'm just saying, we, you know.

• 8:31Speaker 01

  There's, there's people who might pull up to that curry that will see me have the poppings and go home.

• 9:33Speaker 01

  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the mic of emails, Mr. Romesh Ranganathan.

• 9:37Speaker 00

  Uh, uh, turn me up on my headphones. One, two, one, two. One, two, one, two.

• 9:42Speaker 01

  That actually might be the most favourite thing you've ever done.

• 9:47Speaker 00

  Uh, would you rather find 10,000 cockroaches in your loft or one human?

• 9:53Speaker 01

  Oof.

• 9:53Speaker 00

  Love the podcast. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

• 9:57Speaker 01

  Um.

• 9:58Speaker 00

  10,000 live cockroaches.

• 10:00Speaker 01

  That's, that is number one, 10,000 cockroaches are really hard to get rid of.

• 10:06Speaker 00

  Horrible. Surviving nuclear apocalypse.

• 10:08Speaker 01

  So hold on, it's not a dead human, is it? It's just one human.

• 10:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, one human.

• 10:12Speaker 01

  I think without a doubt, one human.

• 10:13Speaker 00

  You'd, if you found out tonight, there's a person in your loft, how would you react?

• 10:19Speaker 01

  Number one, I'm imagining if he's hiding in my loft, he's gonna have a hell of a story. They are gonna have an amazing story. Right? If we, you know, I mean, obviously we, last episode, we had the poo question. So there's an element, I'll go out there with a handful of feces. They probably have a handful of feces themselves, don't they?

• 10:37Speaker 00

  You've got no idea how they've come to find themselves in your loft?

• 10:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, but.

• 10:40Speaker 00

  Are you gonna turn up there with a fistful of shit?

• 10:42Speaker 01

  No, right, I think 10,000 cockroaches, cockroaches are impossible to get rid of. Right? But you've got a hive then. You've probably got four hives. Right, cockroaches. One human, we're just, we're just taking upon ourselves, thinking that's a really nasty, mean human. That could just be something.

• 10:59Speaker 00

  I've not said that. You've said you're going up with a load of shit.

• 11:01Speaker 01

  No, I'm just saying, yeah, that was my.

• 11:02Speaker 00

  And by the way, I think of the two of you, they're gonna have more shit in the loft.

• 11:06Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know, yeah, yeah. Well, it depends how long they've been there.

• 11:08Speaker 00

  Or they're coming down in the night when you lot have gotten to bed and you're using your toilet.

• 11:11Speaker 01

  Like Toy Story?

• 11:11Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 11:13Speaker 01

  Like they're just living in the.

• 11:14Speaker 00

  Do you ever watch that bit, there's a YouTube video, isn't there, about this, in this Japanese apartment and there's people living in the crawl space?

• 11:20Speaker 01

  Really?

• 11:21Speaker 00

  And then they leave a camera and then they pop out their little grate and then come and help themselves to food.

• 11:26Speaker 01

  Jesus. It's quite cool though, anyway.

• 11:30Speaker 00

  Don't think so. Don't think it's cool at all.

• 11:32Speaker 01

  No, it's quite a cool thing to sort of see the first, oh my god, what?

• 11:35Speaker 00

  It's like a horror film when I watch the videos. I mean, I don't even know if they're real, but they look pretty real.

• 11:38Speaker 01

  So someone, yeah, I, I don't think it isn't, I think one person living in your loft. And then you've just got to take it.

• 11:44Speaker 00

  What'd you say to him?

• 11:46Speaker 01

  Well, I can run it if you want.

• 11:47Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 11:48Speaker 01

  Who am I, the loft person? I'll be the loft guy.

• 11:51Speaker 00

  Of course you will.

• 11:52Speaker 01

  Why?

• 11:54Speaker 00

  Um.

• 12:02Speaker 00

  Hello? Hello?

• 12:04Speaker 01

  Oh no, you've found me.

• 12:06Speaker 00

  Um.

• 12:07Speaker 01

  My name's Trevor, Trevor, Trevor Lancelot. I've been living in.

• 12:13Speaker 01

  I've been living up here in your loft for the last four years, since you moved in.

• 12:18Speaker 00

  Um, wha- what are you doing? I'm in a friend, I'm gonna have to call the police.

• 12:23Speaker 01

  Don't please, please, I implore you not to call them before you've heard my story.

• 12:30Speaker 00

  Okay, stay back, stay back.

• 12:32Speaker 01

  I, I will stay back. My lips are parched and dry. I haven't had a cup of tea since last eve.

• 12:39Speaker 00

  I'm not gonna make you a cup of tea being living in my loft.

• 12:43Speaker 01

  You, usually I, I wait till you're asleep and I can hear you slumbering and you've got your.

• 12:50Speaker 00

  This is appalling, by the way.

• 12:52Speaker 01

  You've got your teeth.

• 12:53Speaker 00

  What you've done is appalling.

• 12:54Speaker 01

  Uh, you don't know my circumstance. Nay, you don't know my life.

• 12:59Speaker 00

  What's your story?

• 13:00Speaker 01

  Mr. Ranganathan, I know more about you than you of me.

• 13:03Speaker 00

  Yeah, of course you've been living in my fucking loft.

• 13:04Speaker 01

  I've seen you, I've seen you angry, I've seen you sad, I've seen you happy, I've seen you sensual.

• 13:10Speaker 00

  Okay, we can, listen, we can all name dwarfs. Can you, can you please?

• 13:16Speaker 00

  Tell me what the fuck it is you're doing in my loft?

• 13:19Speaker 01

  I split up with my wife, Elsie Lancelot.

• 13:23Speaker 00

  Okay, and where does she live, in the chimney?

• 13:26Speaker 01

  She lives three roads away.

• 13:28Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 13:28Speaker 01

  I, we had a blazing row and I stormed out. Uh, and I said, you'll never see me again. And then it started raining. Uh, I had to find somewhere to keep dry and this place, oh god, I didn't know what to make of it. It was just, before you moved in, it was just a shell almost. So I came up here and I was living in the shell itself and when it had different bits of the house, I slept in the beds.

• 13:54Speaker 00

  You've slept in the beds?

• 13:56Speaker 01

  Yes, well, before you moved in, you know, I just had almost to test them and that delicious bed, you're a lucky man. And then when you, all the family started moving, I just got higher and higher in the house until I was in the loft. And I made this my home, I've worn all of your old clothes.

• 14:13Speaker 00

  Why didn't you leave?

• 14:14Speaker 01

  Cause I couldn't. I became addicted to this house.

• 14:17Speaker 00

  But we're out.

• 14:18Speaker 01

  And aches and groans. I love it here. It's become my home.

• 14:23Speaker 00

  What have you been eating?

• 14:24Speaker 01

  I come down when you're asleep and make myself sandwiches and crisps and.

• 14:28Speaker 00

  Would you, you're saying you've been stealing for four years from me?

• 14:31Speaker 01

  Only a little bit. I'm also lucky enough, I'm like you, I'm a vegan. So that's where you are.

• 14:37Speaker 00

  Where's the luck coming with that?

• 14:39Speaker 01

  Well, I don't eat any of the boys' food. They're growing lads. Theo's doing so well.

• 14:44Speaker 00

  Don't talk about my, don't talk about my children.

• 14:46Speaker 01

  Charlie has a voice like a cherub. He sings so fine, Ramesh. They're a credit to you, boy.

• 14:53Speaker 00

  Okay, I, I think it wouldn't get that far.

• 14:56Speaker 01

  Okay, but he's quite a sweet fella.

• 14:59Speaker 00

  I don't think so. When you said you, wait till you hear my story, the story is I decided to live in your loft. Like, like, a justification would be, you had something horrendous and there's a last resort, but you got, had an argument with your wife and they've been living in the loft for four years.

• 15:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, but he was quite nice though, I thought, and quite civil. What I'm saying, that you can't, you can't just judge everyone who's living in lofts. By the same token, this guy seems quite sweet. Actually, you've got more from him in a way than he's got from you. In a sense.

• 15:30Speaker 00

  In what way? What have I got from him?

• 15:31Speaker 01

  Well, he's got this way of looking, like, if it was a film, you go, right, you, you're bloody get out.

• 15:36Speaker 00

  I don't wanna talk about this where you get out and then he goes and then the kids go, dad, why did you send him away? I actually miss him. Do you know, every now and again, he used to just like knock a little rhythm into the ceiling and it would help me go to sleep at night.

• 15:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly, see?

• 15:50Speaker 00

  Yeah, all that shit, yeah.

• 15:52Speaker 01

  So I'm just saying, I think, otherwise it's fucking 10,000 cockroaches.

• 15:55Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:56Speaker 01

  They take over your house. You can't fuck with cockroaches.

• 16:01Speaker 00

  No.

• 16:02Speaker 01

  One human is easy.

• 16:04Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:04Speaker 01

  And actually, to be fair, if it's a real scary human, they're just gonna get bored anyway and probably go away.

• 16:11Speaker 00

  Go away, what do you mean, go away?

• 16:12Speaker 01

  Well, it just leaves your loft.

• 16:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, whereas cockroaches, they're staying, aren't they?

• 16:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, cockroaches, once they've, once they're in, cockroaches are in.

• 16:18Speaker 00

  No.

• 16:19Speaker 01

  So yeah, I'd say the human, you?

• 16:21Speaker 00

  Uh, I wasn't convinced, but now I think human.

• 16:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:24Speaker 00

  Yeah. Just imagine opening the loft door and seeing 10,000 cockroaches.

• 16:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, they come at you, mate. And then, by the way, they come out of your loft, that's a horror movie, they take over the whole house. 10,000 of them. Don't worry about the odd sandwich that the person living in you, they're eating everything. Computer games, like beds, they don't care. There's no, everything, everything's edible.

• 16:45Speaker 00

  Cockroaches eat computer games, though.

• 16:48Speaker 01

  I'm just saying, plastic, they'll eat anything, flowers.

• 16:51Speaker 00

  Is that true?

• 16:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:52Speaker 00

  So we're going body?

• 16:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:54Speaker 00

  Uh, okay.

• 16:55Speaker 01

  Just a human, not a body.

• 16:56Speaker 00

  Like a body, like a fit, like a fit human body?

• 16:58Speaker 01

  Yeah. Oh.

  Hi, Tom and Rum. My partner and I love everything you both do and the pod is excellent. Anyway, I'm after some advice. My partner and I have been together for two years and have known each other since teenagers. We would bump into each other, but nothing ever happened as he was my brother's mate and that would have been just weird. I was young but fancied him at the age of 15 and he was 18. And I didn't ever think he'd be interested in me. We moved on, but we randomly now and again see each other. Again, nothing ever happened until two years ago at my brother's wedding. Well, well, uh, he was seeing someone who wasn't there and I was married, husband wasn't there. When he walked in, I saw him and bounced over to him.

• 18:47Speaker 01

  33 years later, I still feel like an excited teenager. We got talking and instantly knew I wanted him again. We started seeing each other. I got divorced, moved back home to be with him, and we've never looked back. I'm about to move in with him and finally be where I wanna be in my life. Now, I always said to myself, I'd only ever marry Matt once, but with him it's different. I wanna be his wife and live out our days together. My question is, what's your opinion on the woman proposing to the man? He'll kill me as I know he'll be watching this on YouTube and possibly I'll be sat with him. Also, you're invited to the wedding, yes, if this does a drink.

• 19:22Speaker 00

  You won't be coming.

• 19:23Speaker 01

  Lots of love, S. Oh, no, that is a story for the ages. That's a beautiful love story.

• 19:32Speaker 00

  Uh, yes, it is a beautiful love story.

• 19:34Speaker 01

  And that, that's actually a proper invite to a wedding.

• 19:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, but we're not coming.

• 19:39Speaker 01

  And you know what? We could do that song from Princess Bride. Oh my love, I'll tell you a tale of a boy and girl and their love story. That would be amazing, right?

• 19:53Speaker 00

  No.

• 19:54Speaker 01

  And then you come out and do a little rap to it. Yo, love is really cool.

• 19:59Speaker 00

  Look who's having themselves a little wedding.

• 20:07Speaker 00

  My name's Rahmash and I'm here to say congratulations on your special day.

• 20:19Speaker 00

  Their love story. Love story.

• 20:30Speaker 01

  Oh mate, um, I actually feel so buoyed by this. What a beautiful town. Um, listen, I'm gonna say now. I think, I, I, I don't think there should be a stigma around.

• 20:40Speaker 00

  No, who gives a shit which one proposes?

• 20:43Speaker 01

  There's actually something pretty amazing about you turning around and saying, yo.

• 20:47Speaker 00

  Yo.

• 20:47Speaker 01

  Let's get this on.

• 20:49Speaker 00

  Yo.

• 20:50Speaker 01

  Do you know what I'd do is actually do it like that? I think that'd be a ma- if I was gonna propose again to Catherine, that's what, I would literally get on my neck and go, yo, let's get this on.

• 21:03Speaker 00

  What was the sound?

• 21:04Speaker 01

  That was the ring coming out.

• 21:06Speaker 00

  Oh, I see, cause it sounded a lot like Spider-Man.

• 21:11Speaker 01

  Were you dressed as Spider-Man? Just a ring hanging to a lank bit of fucking party string.

• 21:18Speaker 01

  I think it's a beautiful thing.

• 21:19Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 21:19Speaker 01

  I, I don't think it matters who proposes.

• 21:21Speaker 00

  I don't think it matters.

• 21:22Speaker 01

  There's classicists out there.

• 21:23Speaker 00

  But I really don't think it matters.

• 21:25Speaker 01

  But I think it's, I genuinely think actually you doing it, um. So what do you, uh, what do you say to him directly? He might be watching now. So, I mean, look, if, if he knows that this is him, which he might, I mean, it's a pretty specific story, isn't it?

• 21:38Speaker 00

  Let's say it together at the same time. We, what we want to know is.

• 21:43Speaker 01

  Are you ready to do this?

• 21:45Speaker 00

  Are you prepared to go the whole hog?

• 21:48Speaker 01

  But now we're proposing.

• 21:49Speaker 00

  Will you?

• 21:55Speaker 00

  Do us the honour.

• 21:58Speaker 00

  Of marrying.

• 22:02Speaker 00

  What do you say?

• 22:03Speaker 01

  I'm really thinking of doing a cover of that song.

• 22:05Speaker 00

  Yeah, I feel like it's, it's, you've got it in the locker somewhere.

• 22:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm, I'm obsessed with that tune.

• 22:10Speaker 00

  Um, yeah, so good luck.

• 22:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, look, I, do you know what? This goes the right way. We go in, we go, like, would you be up for it?

• 22:20Speaker 00

  To go to the wedding?

• 22:20Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:21Speaker 00

  No.

• 22:21Speaker 01

  Why? These, these two have been through a journey with us.

• 22:24Speaker 00

  Sure, but I don't think we should go.

• 22:26Speaker 01

  What if we, we can DJ at it?

• 22:27Speaker 00

  No, even worse.

• 22:33Speaker 00

  Just tell me off the top of your head, like, say, we're at the wedding.

• 22:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:36Speaker 00

  We start our DJ set, first song.

• 22:39Speaker 01

  First song we're gonna do?

• 22:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 22:44Speaker 01

  No, no, you've gotta get something to get the dance floor going.

• 22:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 22:47Speaker 01

  Just something, yeah, but that's where you'll come in, I'll be Mr. Ballads later on. You'll be up there and you could be, you could be like in like a, I don't know, like a track suit, looking all like a wedding, you know, one of those wedding t-shirts, like a.

• 22:57Speaker 00

  Oh, the tuxedo t-shirt.

• 22:58Speaker 01

  Tuxedo t-shirts, yeah. Um, cool pair of trousers, probably some trainers.

• 23:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 23:02Speaker 01

  And you'll do it like, everyone's pumping, and then I come on and knock some ballads out, ballads out in the evening. We do like a little crossover.

• 23:09Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 23:10Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, and then we'll probably have a couple of drinks, slice of wedding cake each, they'll probably do a vegan one if you say you're coming. That'd be terrible if there was a bit of cake for you, like a vegan cake.

• 23:20Speaker 00

  Anyway, we're not coming, but ask.

• 23:22Speaker 01

  No, but can I say, well, I know you so well now, right? I do know you well enough to know that there's a little bit in you there, was kind of excited about that as an evening.

• 23:30Speaker 00

  No. I don't think it'd be good for them, I don't think it'd be good for us.

• 23:34Speaker 01

  I think it would be great for everyone involved. I think it's a real positive.

• 23:38Speaker 00

  Okay, well, look, if you guys, if, if, if, while we've been doing this talk bit, you've realised that it's each other and now you've agreed to get married. Tom is coming, I sadly will not be coming to your wedding.

• 23:49Speaker 01

  Can I say, send a picture of you, wherever you are watching this together, if you, if you then get engaged, send a picture of you, you're smiling, beaming.

• 23:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 23:57Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, and.

• 23:58Speaker 00

  And wedding invite please, cause Tom's coming.

• 25:12Speaker 06

  Does anyone know where the bass is?

• 25:16Speaker 05

  Hey, Bose here. When your next track starts, listen for the decisions that the artist makes. The vocal pushed right up front. The bass that waits half a beat. That sample from a 70s underground gem. Every choice deliberate. With Bose, you'll hear it all. Your music deserves Bose.
