Hello and welcome to My Dad Wrote a Porno The Footnotes.
We have our first guest of season three on today.
He's been on SNL, he's been on Ellen,
but I think we'll all agree that his biggest achievement today
is coming on My Dad Wrote a Porno.
It's George Ezra.
Hey!
How's it going, man? You all right?
Yeah, really good.
Thanks for joining us.
Not at all. Thank you for having me.
Did you enjoy your tea?
Loved my tea
Thank you very much
Alice made you a little frittata
I know
But the thing is
I was talking too much
So you guys had seconds
And I was finishing my first portion
Did you want seconds now?
No it's alright
I'll have them after
Okay
I think I'll need it
After all of this
You're going to go through the ringer
You need sustenance
It's true
Interesting fact for fans
George is quite a slow eater I'm because i listen and i engage it's very polite very polite also another fact is
that you bought a nice little bottle of red there didn't you my darling i did well i was in the
studio today and i was like guys if i'm going to something and i need to take red because i would
get the and i never know how to pronounce it, but the yellow labelled red wine.
Sure.
Ryoja.
And they said to get this,
so I got this.
They are those sweet first album bendermans.
Thank you, Budapest.
It's got a cork and everything.
It's so posh.
You've also brought a little notepad with you.
I know, well, I didn't know if this was over egging it,
but I thought...
Yeah.
Well, the thing is,
before I get into this,
I feel like the best way to introduce these
is to explain how i got into my dad wrote a porno because since the first episode there's been like
one or two questions i've been like i really want to ask that george when you were the woman yeah
are you as knowledgeable as James Cooper? Because he's not always blue
My favourite thing about the notepad
Is he's written a little title in the date
Like it's an exercise book
Like it's an agenda for a meeting
So it must have been
The summer of 2016
Cast your mind
Many moons ago
No probably just before summer right so my sister
so i was introduced to the world of podcasts before this i had no idea and then my sister
was like oh you should listen to my dad wrote a porno and obviously you don't like go okay i'll
get that straight away you know when someone
recommends something you're like okay yeah i'll get on to that so that was jess's recommendation
and then a few nights later i arranged to go and have dinner with a friend of mine brianie and we
met at the pub and we were gonna have some food conversation must have dried up because i said hey
brian i'm joking but i was like i've been getting well into podcasts at the minute and she said oh you should listen to
My Dad Wrote a Porno so once two people
have suggested something
the double penetration of recommendation
I love it
so then I got but then I had the luxury
of the fact that there was a whole series already
out yeah you could binge
and I'm a binger so I was yeah it was
perfect we can tell that's not your first run
of the evening I did a binger. So I was, yeah, it was perfect. We can tell. That's not your first run of the evening.
I did a little bar crawl before I got here.
And what did you think when you first heard?
I think there's something that I think people have touched on once or twice,
but not enough for my liking.
I admire the fact that your dad has written this thing and gone with it.
Well, he retired.
So he just had the mind space to finally make his i feel
like it's been in him for a long time so that's my mentality is i assume that it's something he
must have thought about and then put to bed and then thought about and then gone yeah fuck it i'll
give it a go do you think he has a similar process to you as a fellow creative no because he churns
it out quicker than i can say where's our was going to say, where's our second album? Well, exactly.
So I started listening in the middle of writing
and recording the second record.
Oh God, there's a song called Pots and Pans, isn't there?
So I think he can get them out a lot quicker.
The thing about Rocky is, like you say, he churns them out.
He puts pen to paper and doesn't waste any time checking
or worrying about
what the reaction is going to be when you pen a song how often are you revisiting that even for
just a casual spell check what the song that i've written yeah once or twice am i like that's the
thing that i find most amazing is it doesn't to me it doesn't feel like he's run it by anyone
like he's not gone no shit i can confirm that could
you read this before i send it out um so what's the uh first question on your list george the
first question i've got written down is the one i'm most intrigued about because i can't quite
grasp it and i don't know if i've missed something where you've said it but when is it set like i try
like in time i try and picture because in my head it kind of looks like a blurry VHS.
Like that question kind of leads on to a lot of the other ones.
Like she got on the DLR, which is fairly modern.
Right.
But then...
But then she uses a fax machine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's like some of the other,
a lot of the other details kind of don't...
The sexism feels 80s.
Well, this is what I was going to say.
The regular sexism definitely makes me think, oh, this must be set, you know, way back when.
It feels 74-ish, doesn't it?
Well, I think because obviously my dad is in his 60s, so he has a very different perspective on life.
A man of the world.
Well, he's lived a life, clearly.
Not that I know anything about it.
But I think he's trying to be modern.
I mean, he's writing about the Millennium Dome building.
Yeah, so that's...
After 2000.
But also, the Millennium Dome building.
It's called the O2.
It's not even called the Millennium Dome building.
To be fair, you guys started taking the piss out of it,
but I was like, I'm fairly sure I would call it that.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
It's the O2.
You're a musician, mate.
You should have called it the Millennium Dome building. The Millennium Dome. Three nights. call it that and I was like no no no it's the O2 you're a musician mate I'm playing
the Millennium
Dome
three nights
yeah because
people go
hello O2
they don't go
hello Millennium
Dome
Dome
Dome
I mean they
should
happy Y2K
everybody
oh my god
can we like
start a campaign
to get every
person who plays the o2 just say
hello the millennium dome please please when you headline when you headline the o2 when when when
please i think belinda's got more chance there's more chance of that becoming a reality she's just
done it what did you think of the love eggs by the the way? Did you know? That was an education to me. I didn't really know what they were.
No.
I knew about them.
Oh, did you?
Yeah, of course you did.
Not from first-hand experience, but I remember...
Don't say first-hand.
Second-hand's worse.
Second-hand love eggs!
He knows from first-ass experience.
But I've heard...
I remember there being a conversation on tour,
which started a lot sweeter,
which is you can buy a pillow if you've got a loved one,
that when you buy two and you travel with it,
and when you put your head on yours,
theirs lights up so they know you're in bed,
which I thought was really cute.
That's quite cute.
But then everyone was like,
you could just put bricks on it and be like...
Just off to bed.
Been a great gig, just off to bed yeah been a great gig just off to bed
but then it got onto the conversation
of someone said you can get knickers
that do the same they're underwear
that your partner can
control from the other side of the world
which was what that kind of
I think I think and then it got onto
the love egg so when you say control
I think they vibrate
I think there's like some kind of
start walking you to the shop
I said I want lasagna
it's like the wrong trousers
what I mean is with all these things
I'm just like
firstly how long are you away from home for
that it's like
wear the love eggs
that I can control.
Yeah, a half dozen love eggs and I'm away for another week.
Anyone want a love omelette?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
How do you like it?
Yeah, so I was aware of them.
Okay, cool.
Sure.
And you've got your own merch pillow.
Come see me at the merch desk on the next door.
George Ezra love eggs.
Available everywhere.
So, wait a sec.
Which point was that?
That was only the second I got to...
Yeah, we're going to go in hard.
We've got some good ones.
The next thing, especially in this this is and i think it's a
hangover from some of the earlier series right is words i'm convinced i've never heard before
like in certain like so smallish the smallish man with the smallish voice yeah no one's ever
used that before i'm just sorry the smallish man dressed in black there you go right so it's the
so it can't like i heard oh the smallish man and you kind of feel you go, right? So it came, like I heard, oh, the smallish man.
And you kind of feel a little bit like, I'm sure I've never heard that.
Like, I can't remember having ever described something as,
and then I was like, oh, maybe I like, oh, you know, smallish.
Like, do you see what I mean?
I can't remember ever having used that word.
So you think he's coined it?
So then I got to thinking, not Roald Dahl,
who was the other one
that came up with a lot of words?
Shakespeare.
Roald Dahl or Shakespeare.
No, no, Spike Milligan.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
So then I was thinking,
no, fair play.
Because there's all these things
where I go,
that's ridiculous.
And he'd go,
people have done it before.
This isn't like,
he's entitled to.
This is the thing.
And you know,
as we go through the books,
we realise that actually a lot of what my dad has...
Don't mind us.
Sorry, I had to relieve myself.
Ezra's just like pouring a vat of red wine.
Whatever.
But yeah, no, we are discovering that actually what he writes
is not only finding its way into common parlance,
but so many things that we've mocked him for are actually real.
Yeah.
Like the bees, you know, in like the plane.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The spiral staircase.
Right.
I'm fairly sure I've seen it.
So I can't.
You've seen it.
When you guys were, well, not up there.
Behind.
Not up the pearly gates of.
Little visit to BT.
Coming up the pearly gates of... Little visit to BT.
No, but when you guys were ripping it out of the Spire Circus,
I was like, well, actually, I think I've seen it.
Do you know what?
One of my friends from home is an air hostess.
I should ask her.
You definitely should ask her.
I should ask her whether that is a thing or not.
All right, so come on.
What's next on your list?
Next on the list, I've just written,
pots and pans, so huge on, what's next on your list? Next on the list, I've just written pots and pans.
So huge with a question mark.
Which I think what I mean is,
from episode one, I remember going,
oh, let that slip.
Like, they definitely just said that she worked in pots and pans.
And I remember thinking, like, that's a bit odd.
Why is it a bit odd?
Mate, we can't all be international music stars.
Yeah, sorry.
No, as in...
Someone's got to sell a skillet, all right?
Pots and pans, I'm about.
If you're going to go into business,
go for something everybody needs.
Toilet roll.
Go into that.
Go into something that every house needs.
Catchy ditties.
Yeah, catchy.
Non-offensive.
Daytime radio pop songs
run of the mill
melodies
so I get that
but surely it's not
that big an industry
so like
I've always thought that
and then this one
where it's like
well we're going to
the Millennium Dome
and then that bit
about giving away
a free stainless tin
wok
or whatever it was
I had to get my phone out and do the math.
So I Googled how much...
What are they retailing at?
They're one of those things I found out that you can spend as much or as little as you want.
So if you want a decent non-stick wok...
You can get a Ken Hom, I guess, for like £30.99.
The average, I would say, was about £20.
You know when you go on Google, it has the top bit.
None of them strayed over about 35 quid.
How long did you spend on this?
Well, I'm just...
This is the kind of thing that I want to...
What are the ins and outs?
So if there's 20,000 people...
Oh my God, you've done a calculation.
Well, I think I'm shit at math, so I don't know.
Okay, go on then.
But if there's 20,000 people,
and you're spending 20 quid on each of them
buy my iPhone
it says your iPhone
special calculator
that's 900 million
400 grand
yeah which is
an investment that's mental
it's not enough to book
because that must cost a lot
to have the space of the O2
and then like you've got to get the rigging
so this is something I've learned
if you book a big venue
you have to take your own speakers
so we wanted to know this
so she would have had to pay for the lot
or Steeles would have done
but I don't know
I think most venues have like a base level PA
but you probably take your own
if you want it a bit better.
So like I was just thinking that this,
I know this is killing the joy of fiction writing,
but I was like, that's a bit outlandish.
No, please kill it.
Kill it for everyone.
But then to spend just shy of half a million pounds
on giving everyone a utensil.
Would you not do that then?
No way.
And your album was really successful. i did that one of my gigs like
and by the way you've all got a walk
but the other thing is like because she was part of a bigger it wasn't her show like she was part
of a bigger end so she spent like 400 grand on about a five minute set yeah wait it wasn't her
show no it was a conference that the dutch had put on or something
like someone else was like one this is like a ted talk but like a lesser version or a greater
version depending on your perspective a much better version rocky would probably call it an
edward talk for copyright reasons special Special J all over again.
And the smallish man is totally like,
comes with the venue.
I don't think they've...
He comes at the venue.
Comes with the venue.
Oh, with the venue.
He works at the O2.
With, at, during the venue.
But then this is the other thing I was thinking.
So far, there's been two episodes of this new series.
Yeah.
For Belinda, it's been pretty low key.
Lying, yeah. I mean, i mean it is you can say it's
underwhelming no no no but like i just need to mic you up babe and then just like give us a second
just getting down to you to nothing obviously that's very belinda i like that it's also quite
desperate isn't it like he wasn't asking to see her tits she just like proffered those breasts
to him quite openly
maybe she's got to a point
where she just assumes
she's losing her touch
I think maybe
oh
she's less classy
well I don't know
like
she's losing her mind
in book one
book two
you know people
want to have sex
with a you know
chapter one
through to 17
now
she's literally
just like show her tits
just to get noticed
please
you know me Belinda Blink exactly she's literally just like show her tits just to get noticed. Please. You know me, Belinda Blinked.
Exactly.
She's become a celebrity.
That no one wants anything about anymore.
You say that, but he did mic her up in a very unorthodox manner.
Oh yeah, like went all round.
Bit of twister.
Like before I mic you up, let's get the twister mat out.
I'll just hang this here.
Your right leg over there you must have
been mic'd up many times how often do they go under the pegs and loop around them and then
around the neck do you know what is quite funny is they do like it goes up your top and there's
always that awkward bit where you kind of go like it's all right mate like i'll just i'll do it i
can feel it like that oh as girl, there's always that moment
where you do the joke about like...
Where you rip your top off.
Come on!
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, actually.
There's always that bit
and they're either shocked
or you're marrying in the spring.
Did we answer your question?
Have we answered any of your questions?
No, clearly.
Well, no, I've realised,
sorry, there's like an arrow
so i've put pots and pans so huge question mark then an arrow and in quotation so i assume belinda
said this you will want to know about the new range i don't get so i understand like i said
everyone needs a pot or a pan or both. But not many people I come into contact with
are following pots and pans vlogs going,
shit, when's the new one out?
It's not like an iPhone, is it?
Yeah, yeah.
It's not like a...
Hang on.
Sorry, George.
I hate to do this to you,
but I will defend my father.
Yeah.
And this was an industry event, actually.
These women who sell door to door
with their coffee
mornings
are selling
pots and pans
this is their
business alright
for Betty
this is a big
ass deal
Betty Wilkes
Vicky Woods
this is their
livelihood
if you're there
you're there
for a reason
exactly
I get it
it's not like
your fans
they'll take a walk
I'm sure
mate get some in
you'll need them
just in my face
on the
oh my god
on the concave
yeah
oh my god
could we do like
a merchandise raid
together
could we do a kind
of partnership
what merch have you
guys got so far
yeah merchandise
is a funny one
my dad's taken it
upon himself
to create some
of his own
merchandise
I'm going to give you
one
one
I've never seen
this oh it's signed from the desk of Rocky Flintstone. And then on the back it says,
Belinda Blinked. The cheeky minx. No, it doesn't really. It says, Belinda Blinked. When you get
what you want, you feel great. Yeah. It's basically a postcard of all of the quotes of Belinda Blinked.
I see. It's got the flesh of mankind. I feel like that one should have been bigger.
He should have said, Rocky, the flesh of mankind.
Because I feel like that's his, you know, like garlic bread.
You know, like the flesh of mankind is definitely Rocky's go-to.
He also asked me to give James Ellison petty cash vouchers as well.
Oh my God.
Very useful for the business well you can claim back on
these are legit petty cash vouchers literally yeah and he's written your names on them how sweet
just on the topic of the um of the postcards what i love is that he's gone for different fonts
different sizes different colors he's thought i have got an up to the date edition of Word
and I am going to use it
and also
why is the biggest font
I love
Rocky Flintstone
of all of them
the biggest one
is the faux quote
I love Rocky Flintstone
right what's next
come on
I'm not sure I can get
through this whole agenda
right so this leads
into the pots and pans
massive industry
I know I'm hung up on this
but like when she's
off to the Ritz spot how realistic is that how many industries are there where you're like i've got a
really busy week but there's like a loose contact i have that i met months ago that just so happens
to be in a mud steam room i better go and hook up with them and the next thing you're at this woman's house I don't
know if I move in the wrong circles but I don't get invited to many orgies and I don't right many
but what I mean is the whole base of the book for me,
I know I'm hung up on it,
but is this idea of it being pots and pans,
but then this outlandish lifestyle,
it would be more...
Believable?
If it was like a different job, like,
oh, they worked in, you know, nightclub booking.
I was going to say the music industry must be more like this.
Well, you would think so.
This is what I was kind of like, maybe I'm in the wrong industry.
Because the reason I got into it was for spa days at the Ritz.
Was the Potspans and rock and roll.
That's the t-shirt, Potspans and rock and roll.
George Ezra got into music to get a huge big black dildo from the Duchess.
I can't believe it.
What a scoop.
No, it's the love eggs
since I caught wind of them.
Well, you knew all about them, George.
Don't try and play dumb now.
I think,
and I'm not suggesting
this will happen,
say the music stuff
goes down the pan,
excuse the pun,
I think the new thing
could be Kitchenware for you.
I'm happy.
If like,
you know one of those,
what are they called?
You've got an RSM
written all over you.
No,
I could see you on reception
at Steeles
oh my god
hey
you're the Bella
Bella
is she the train wreck one
that's like
excuse me
I don't want to talk
about you George
but I'm actually
really really classy
yeah
that
is so accurate
to a lot of people
I've met
so like
in the sense of like
that kind of tear away,
like I just say what I think, mate.
You know, that kind of thing.
I don't care what people think about me.
What's nice about this
is you're helping us
kind of take a step back on,
like we're so in it.
Sometimes I think we forget
how ludicrous it is.
And I think series three,
it's a good time.
The start of series three,
let's take that step back.
Let's realise why we're doing it
and should we just stop? I think this is a good time to draw a of series three. Let's take that step back. Let's realise why we're doing it and should we just stop?
I think this is a good time
to draw a line in the sand.
All right.
George Ezra,
our last guest ever
on My Dad Wrote a Porno.
Can you imagine
if you just really shook us awake
with your comments?
You have single-handedly
destroyed this whole podcast.
Get Mocky on the phone.
He'd be furious.
Mocky mate, it's over.
He's just printed all of these.
For a second then,
I thought this was you
wrapping up the podcast
I was like oh that was abrupt
I just remembered
what we were going to
show to George
oh yeah
that we've completely forgotten
oh my god
it's not top shelf Rocky
I've literally
totally forgotten about it
yeah okay right
this is a bit weird
okay and you're a musician
so we want to get your
professional opinion on it
these amazingly creative people in Sweden right James Yeah, okay, right. This is a bit weird, okay? And you're a musician, so we want to get your professional opinion on it.
These amazingly creative people in Sweden, right, James?
In Sweden.
I'm going to get the email.
They wrote a song based on Belinda Blink.
And they produced it up and everything.
Yes.
Amazing. It's proper.
When you say produced it up, what do you mean by up?
Well, as in like, if they started,
I imagine they would have started with a little acoustic guitar number.
Nice.
And they were going... Is that how you do it yeah yeah flintstones rocky flintstone
and then they go hang on we're printing our own money here get to the studio get a few synths on
it drum beats this freeware has an 808 let's get that on i I mean, if you were, hypothetically, to write a song about my dad or Belinda or the universe...
I think my approach...
This might be a weird reference,
but do you remember Up Pompeii?
Or, like, Carry On films, where the music's like...
Like, you know, like, kind of deliberately comedy.
And then I'm like, it's like, ooh, ah!
That kind of thing.
Do you know what I mean? I'm like, i don't know what era that would be from i don't know but i'm kind of like a big fan
the equivalent of like a
for four minutes it's funny you should say that because that's very similar to the style of this
song well shall i i'll read you the email we had from these people.
So, my name is Spoke, and together with Peter, songwriter, producer,
I've penned a song in your honour, or rather in the honour of Rocky and Belinda.
It's called Pomegranates and Rivets.
I get it.
We don't believe that the title needs further explanation.
I would agree with that.
Definitely not.
And you'll recognise one or two of the references throughout the song from the first season.
And Jamie, my apologies for the chorus. The bard in me had to make the rhymes work. What does that mean? would agree with that and you'll recognise one or two of the references throughout the song from the first season and Jamie
my apologies for the chorus
the bard in me
had to make the rhymes work
what does that mean?
I think you've got a reference
in the chorus
and perhaps a bit shoehorned in
I've always wanted
to be included in a song
here we go
George
there's still time
forget who invited you
onto the podcast
who made you frittata
huge second album.
One song,
what did it be called?
Jamie Lee is great.
It's a true labour of love
and we hope you enjoy it
as much as we do.
I've taken the liberty
of printing out the lyrics
for you, George.
Thank you very much.
So you can,
let's sing along.
No, don't we be reading it?
I'm based on a screwed story.
Seriously.
Are you ready for this?
Are you ready?
Ready. This is going to blow your mind. If you ready? Are you ready? Ready.
This is going to blow your mind.
If you comment while it's playing, we'll kill you.
Okay, nice.
Hold all your thoughts.
Maybe write it in your pad.
I've done your little paddy pad.
There you go, my darling.
Make a whole new page.
Do you want a little pen?
Actually, George, do you want to intro it?
Next up, ladies and gentlemen, we have Pomegranates and Rivets by Spoken Peter.
Next up, ladies and gentlemen, we have Pomegranates be freely with river to talk come into my world come into my
dream come fill my lips so completely moist from the steam i'm in the mud i'm on a roll
give me a tickle, baby, show me the vault
Amaze me
Amaze me
Arouse me
Arouse me
Come hold me Behold me I mean, where to begin?
George, initial thoughts, initial feelings?
I'm going to go in with my favourite bit,
which is that I'm in the mud.
I'm on a roll.
Give me a tickle, baby.
Show me the ball.
Yes.
Yes, George Ezra, yes.
That's my favourite bit,
which I guess would be the pre-chorus.
Is that what it's called?
I think that's what that would be.
Is that not the bridge?
I thought they called that the bridge.
No, I think I would always call it the pre-chorus.
I love that we're arguing with George Ezra.
You're like, actually, I think it's called the bridge. Yeah. When would always call it the pre-chorus I love that we're arguing with George Aspern you're like actually
I think it's called
the bridge
yeah
when is Eurovision
it's soon
we've just missed it
but there's next year
so next year
should we lobby for
this to be the
Swedish entry
I think if we take
to Blinkers I'm sure
they'll make that
happen
once they've heard it
yeah exactly
my only from a
commercial perspective
I think they're kind
of doing themselves
an injustice by
ending the chorus with the lyric,
I'm truly fucked.
I think that might jeopardise their kind of daytime radio airplay.
I think it's super catchy.
That chorus, it's a bit Gaga.
Like you say, it's a bit Eurovision.
I would buy this song.
You've been singing it for weeks since you received the email.
Do you know who has been singing it for weeks? Rocky. rocky rocky and my mother is honestly at her wits end every time she goes
into the pavilion slash garden shed she's truly fucked she's truly fucked she just goes i'm truly
fucked 90s sitcom you're truly fucked papers right there. You can keep the shed. But doesn't your dad
get obsessed with songs as well? He does. He just plays them over and over again. And we once drove
from Manchester where we grew up to Spain, Malaga. It's a long way to drive. Over two hours. And he
made a CD for the journey and we were like yes summer holidays
can't wait
the CD consisted of
the angels carol
which is a Christmas carol
and he put it on
seven times
on one CD
and just played
the same CD
over
and over again
oh so there was
seven tracks
every track
every track
was the angels carols
of a dangerous car,
I've a dangerous voice.
Every single three minutes.
And we just played the CD.
That was literally it.
It was like,
God, I do love this song.
Let's play it again, shall we?
Wait for the drop.
That pre-chorus.
My mum was like,
is there no Simply Red in the car?
Is there no Annie Lennox? No MP Paul? No? Okay, cool. If mum was like, is there no Simply Red in the car? Is there no Annie Lennox?
No MP people?
No?
Okay, cool.
If there was a radio edit where the word fucked wasn't in it, George, could you see this,
I don't know, number one?
Where do you see this in the charts?
I'd say a steady climber.
I think it would go in with a comfortable top 20.
And over the weeks, it would climb up to number one.
Yeah.
Steal the nation's hearts.
Yeah.
Christmas number one.
So if we release it now, it will be Christmas number one.
I'll find it's supposed to be number one by Christmas.
Good.
Okay.
I would love to see a race between me and Spoken Peter.
George, I hate to say it.
It wouldn't be a race my darling
no definitely not
we should talk about your live performance
which I came to
you've seen us live in the church
and I don't go to as many gigs as maybe I should
but it's been a long time
since I've seen a queue
that big so we got there and we were like
genuinely not no offence
but I was like are we at the right place?
At first, right, George?
What are you trying to say?
No, but it was like proper fandom.
There was like costumes, banners, everything, and a queue round the block.
What were they dressed up as?
Front row, there was like someone dressed up as the Fence.
There was some trellis.
Yeah, someone with the trellis.
And their friend was handcuffed to them, dressed as Belinda.
Oh, I didn't see that.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of people listening feel like
it's like their thing
with you guys.
We have the best listeners
on the planet.
They're amazing.
But that's so amazing
that you've been a catalyst
for these people
joining in.
I bet people have met people
through the podcast.
People have met people
on the tube.
People have been laughing
on the tube in headphones
and someone says
Belinda
and they've been like,
yes! And then they've got chatting and they've become friends.'s amazing did you enjoy the show loved it we really did i bought cam who's producing the record and um
there was one bit when you got up to do the science lesson
just to contextualize alice does a bit of a presentation during our live show
where she explains exactly
what the cervix is and in fact all of the reproductive elements of the vagina i kept
quiet because i was like i shouldn't there was like the audience participation i was like i don't
want to slip up here cam started shouting them out and shouted a wrong one and so i was like oh
gee that's why I didn't get involved
yeah so we're actually
going on tour
in Australia
I don't know if you
heard about that
I heard about it
at the end of
episode two
yeah yeah yeah
so we've sold up
the Sydney Opera House
for one night
which is amazing
by the way
thank you very much
congratulations
they've added a second night
which we're yet to
to sell out
so please do come
to the Sydney show
on Sunday
book three seats
if you just want some room
like if you don't want
to spread out
like with your snacks
and they've listened now
they're aware
that in London
there was costumes
so you expect costumes
you expect silly string
it's a brilliant show
I loved it
maybe to help sell tickets
we should put walks
under all the seats

especially in like
because we're not just
playing Sydney and Melbourne

So yes, come to Australia and New Zealand,
come and see us live.
George, it's been so good having you with us.
Thank you very much for having me.
Oh no, it's our pleasure.

As probably Rocky would say.
And to play us out is Spoke and Peter with Pomegranates and Rivets.

Christmas 2019.

I've got my Rocky to rock me.
That's where it began.
I'm all that you need, I'm all the good stuff, I'm here when Bella and Donna won't be enough.
Let's get undressed, let's never stop, let pomegranates be freely, with river to talk.
