why we bother having...
We should just start.
Hey, people bloody
love the jingle.
How dare you?
People bloody love it.
Thank you.
Love it.
Yes, it's very good.
They don't like the fact
that it was recorded poorly
and it comes in one speaker
and then out the other speaker.
Oh, well, I don't...
I don't know what I'm doing.
Oh, so you don't care.
Don't care about the listeners,

I've got a list of door handles I want to lick.
Oh, loads of them.
All around the North East.
Put me bare arse on stuff.
Yeah.
Can't wait.
People, put me bare arse on people.
I don't think you can catch COVID from your arse.
Why are they testing arses in China then?
Next question.
Are they?
Yeah, they do bum checks, don't they?
I've got a question about that later on.
Of course you have.
Okay.
Shag my own a dog.
Of course you have.

Thank you so much.
Like I said, please continue to like, rate and subscribe and all that stuff
on your little podcast shops.
And before we go any further,
this week's podcast
is brought to you by
my new catchphrase.
It's something I never thought
I'd say once in my life,
but I've got to say it all the time.
My new catchphrase
sponsoring the podcast this week is
Robin,
stop pumping on your brother.
Great.
Something I never thought
I'd have to say ever
in my life.
On a daily basis, more than once, I now have to say Robin, stop pumping on your brother. All. Something I never thought I'd have to say ever in my life. On a daily basis, more than once, I now have to say, Robin, stop pumping on your brother.
All the time.
That's this week's podcast.
We don't have to worry about COVID in this house.
We have to worry about just, yeah, pink eye.
Oh, he pulls his pants down.
It gives a good bare bum rasp.
I mean, it's just non-stop.
Have you seen it when he sucks on his ear?
Yes.
He's put the Rafe's full ear in his mouth.
He also puts Rafe's hands in his mouth.
Yes.
Rafe has got dirt under his fingernails.
Yeah.
And he's a baby.
And I'm honest, I'm convinced Robin's taking him in the garden to dig.
Dragging him outside.
His immune system's going to be bang on.
It's going to be fucking great.
It's going to be amazing.
He's going to be immune to everything.
Yeah.
So there we go.
See, but you never had a sibling.
So you don't understand that this is just a rite of passage.
Yeah, I don't get it.
I'm like, get off of me.
And I keep pointing at Robin.
When you were little,
I wouldn't have let anyone do what you're doing to him.
Yeah, but he's his brother.
It's different.
Oh, God.
My brother pissed on me in the bath on multiple occasions.
Used to stand up with the home video.
There's a bath home video.
Great.
Probably a bit weird, but you know, whatever.
And he stands up
wheeze on me back i turn around i put my hand under it wow so that's that's my level of
understanding that's the grimest thing ever yeah and no like we didn't flinch my mom didn't go
stop that just sorry your mom didn't go stop that no right that That's terrible. At least you would go stop that.
I would go stop that.
I wouldn't go, oh, he's pissing on her again.
Get the camera.
Just, he was only about two, though.
Oh, right, well, that's fair enough.
He was little, and I was probably about five.
Oh, yeah, you'd just laugh, I suppose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, my sister, this is a funny thing.
So my brother's pissing on me.
Great.
I'm about five with my hand under, catching his wee.
Great.
My sister's on the end, because she would have been about eight at this point
and she's embarrassed
so she got two jugs
over her like
non-existent boobs
she's very much of the
why am I still in the bath
with my brother and sister
but she was there though
because she didn't want
to be left out

Look at you.
You're kind of...

Hello and welcome back to this week's episode of Shag My Annoyed.
Quick question for you, Christopher.
Yeah.
So last Sunday was Mother's Day.
Yes.
Mothering Sunday.
Mothering Sunday.
I was on Instagram, it was really lovely, going through all the posts. And I out for my mom because i love my mom yeah yeah and we went you know saw your mom
get a present everything where was my social media post from my loving doting husband yeah i just find
it massively sexist because there's no father's day so why should there be a mother's day there
is a father's day is there are you actually's Day. Is there? Are you actually...
No, I'm kidding.
It's just, you know,
when International Women's Day happens
and all the blokes go,
why is there a man's wedding?
What the fuck, Liz, you prick.
I'm not about that,
and I'll tell you why.
I've never been about that
public sort of displays of,
this is my wife.
Everyone knows we're married.
Everyone knows I love you, right?
Do they love you?
Well, yeah, but the only person
I need to know that is you.
Well, unfortunately,
it has not been solidified with me
because there was no Instagram post
saying,
thank you for birthing my children.
Thank you for putting your body
through all of that,
which is still reeling on.
Yeah.
Upset by it, aren't I?
Never mention it.
I basically,
I tell you this in person,
I always say thank you
for my lovely family.
I always give you a cuddle.
I always say, look how lucky I am. I tell you this in person, I always say thank you for my lovely family. I always give you a cuddle. I always say, look how lucky I am.
I just don't think the world needs to hear me.
Is grovelling the right word?
Emotionally grovelling to you?
I say I disagree.
I feel like that's what the world needs.
I think it would, honestly, with everything going on right now,
I think it would cure a lot of things.
Fuck off, Rosie.
You would have got lost in the noise of every other cunt doing it.
My beautiful wife.
You're not only me best friend.
You're the wife.
You're the mother of the luckiest boys.
We get it, man.
We get it.
You've all posted it
for fucking millions of years.
We get it.
We get it.
You're married to them.
You had a kid with them.
We know you fucking love them.
Shut up.
Fuck me.
Not everything's for content.
Something is just for contentment.
Right?
Some things are just for behind closed doors.
Right?
Plus, can I just say as well,
and our smars and dars will back me up here,
the one time I have put something like that on,
you always comment something fucking soggy and anything. Like, you're obsessed with me you like oh fucking all right man gives a bit of
space oh aye aye you are punching or something i just think what's the point what's the fucking
all right man but that wasn't to do with the boys right this is about my me being a mother right
which is really hard man we're now all right man all right i just felt a little bit left out
right every fuck I got one
I didn't get one
it's the same as Valentine's Day
I'm not going out of my way
to post a thing
about you
on the day
where I'm supposed to post
a thing about you
you'll get one
right
one day
right
might not be this year
might not be next year
might not be the year after
might not be the year after that
might not be the year after that
so it's just never
might not be the year after that
might not be the year after that
but one day
early hours of the morning
I might post a nice
little thing
right
and delete it
just before everyone
gets up
so no one sees it
but it'll have been there
and it'll be the thought
that counts
you are horrible
honestly
do you know what I hate
mine
do you know what I
do you know what I
don't like
which still happens
and I can't believe
people still do it
when they post the presents that they got can't bear it like why do people still do it so it's
gone from the joke was always like our boy did good and all this and now it's what you get off
your kids yeah it's like they didn't buy that yeah yeah your your three-year-old does not have
any money and hasn't gone out and bought you a bracelet. Someone else has bought that.
So, just honestly.
Christmas happens.
I remember one Christmas,
my Facebook feed was fucking flooded on Christmas Day
when I still had Facebook.
Yeah.
It was just Michael Kors watches.
Oh, yeah.
As far as the eye could see.
Look what he got us,
just rose gold Michael Kors watches.
The whole thing, I was like,
what the fuck?
I thought my target ads had gone berserk.
I didn't know
what was going on so weird isn't it really strange i get that people want to celebrate
having nice things and i understand but there's just i just feel like social media it's just a
lot of likes people just want like that's the thing with the thing the mother's day thing i
don't want to just get a load of likes and a load of content off bigging you up do you know i mean
but first of all i don't want to be in the first place that's what i thought it's just yeah i don't know i'm weirdly going like back over i used to be like mr twitter i was like
of all the comedians i was like on twitter more than anyone else it was like like all the comments
could be like you fucking love twitter you're always on it and i just i've just ground you
down hasn't it it's just ground us down i just can't be bothered i get it chris i get it if you
don't need to do it don't do it literally. You could literally put something out being like, oh, rain's wet.
Actually, the compound of H2O, oh, God, oh, some rain has,
it's a grit in it.
Oh, man, I just can't.
Totally broken.
I just can't.
Don't worry about it.
It's just like they're waiting,
they're waiting on the starting blocks
to just go, actually,
and it's just fucking, I don't know.
That's the voice.
And it's weird because I know I am
missing out on the
lovely sides of social
media and the really
nice things but
I only ever look at
your stuff
you don't even
look at it though
you just like it
and then
we've talked about
this before
get your likes up
anyway
do you want to
wish me a happy
mother's day
on here
it's past
it was yesterday
it's weird if I do
now I'm not doing
it because you're
telling us to do it I refuse to do it honestly tells me it's a good job that I
don't know any more kids because I won't be having them with you yeah good good
fine do you know why cuz you're fucking nightmare to live with pregnant great
I'm alright then happy Mother's Day got you see you didn't think it was coming I
didn't do it cuz I was told I did it cuz I don't want it you can have it back
honestly good you can have it because I don't want it you can have it back honestly you can have it back I don't want it throw it away I've done that
something I've noticed yes it only really clicked this morning but I have been noticing it for a
while obviously I am on social media a lot and um I follow a lot of moms and whatever
put the pictures of the kids on.
Every kid's hair at the minute
in the whole country
looks absolutely dreadful.
What a horrible thing to say about children.
Why?
Just slagging everyone's haircuts off.
No, mostly boys.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Haircuts are atrocious.
They all look like a bag of shit.
Yeah.
And Robin's got that thing
where he goes to sleep
and he wakes up looking exactly like Boris Johnson of shit. Yeah. And Robin's got that thing where he goes to sleep and he wakes up
looking exactly
like Boris Johnson's head.
Like what I imagine,
like,
like what I imagine
Russell Brand look like
in a morning
after a gig,
after all that backcombing
and hairspray.
Just like a big sort of,
like a big untamed candy floss.
It's just horrendous.
Because it's too long.
Yeah.
But yeah,
I just noticed,
I just noticed
all the children are very, is it unkempt? Is that what you say? I think that's the word, yeah. They it's too long. Yeah. But yeah, I just noticed, I just noticed all the children are very,
is it unkempt?
Is that what you say?
I think that's the word, yeah.
They just look like shit.
And another thing that I've noticed, right?
There's a direct quote there for you.
All the children look like shit.
Rosie Ramsey, 2021.
They do, they do.
Another thing I've noticed,
nobody right now,
not one person in the UK,
has a natural tan.
A natural tan.
Good point.
There'll be no winter holidays, nothing like that. So nobody has a natural tan. A natural tan. Good point. No winter holidays, nothing like that.
So nobody has a natural tan.
And I don't think that's ever happened before.
No?
Probably not since the 80s.
Not for a long, long time.
That's interesting.
Skin cancer will be on the downturn.
Well, hopefully.
People won't be out in the sun as much without protection.
I mean, vitamin D is bastardised.
Some people might still have sunbeds.
Some people might still have sunbeds in the house
and they might have been using them.
Still not actual sun, though.
Sunlight.
Well, it's still UV rays, isn't it?
No, okay.
Why do you always have to...
I thought I'd spotted a fact.
I thought I could have done that as like,
this is a fact.
One, one.
For one month in 2020,
at least nobody in the UK had a natural tan from actual sunlight.
That's something that shitty fucking Uber facts would post.
Thank you, Rosie Ramsey.
No, right.
One, it's a stupid fact.
It's boring.
It's rubbish, right?
Two, I wasn't trying to have a go at you.
I was just saying, I was starting the point of some people might have genuinely got their
old fucking sunbed out of the lot.
Can you remember it?
Yeah.
The sunbed where it was one bit of sunbed and you had to lie on a bed.
Yeah, yeah.
And then like wheel it over the top of you.
Amazing.
Crazy.
I used to love the sunbed.
You could rent them.
You could rent them.
It was ridiculous.
Did you go through a phase of going on the sunbeds?
I did, but it was only because I had really bad acne.
Oh.
I was around 16.
I used to go, well, I wasn't even 16.
I was 15, 14.
My dad used to take us to, in Hebburn,
he used to take us to the swimming baths.
I'd go to like the spa bit.. I'd go to the spa bit.
So I'd go sauna and steam room to open me pores and that.
And then I would go on the sunbed afterwards.
And my dad would come out looking fresh as fuck,
like a million dollars.
And I would just come out looking a bit redder
in the same amount of spots.
Shout out to anyone who's suffered from acne.
I don't think I've really ever talked about this,
to be fair, in public or anything.
But shout out to anyone who's ever suffered from acne or anyone who's got kids or anything suffering from acne. I don't think I've really ever talked about this to be fair in public or anything, but shout out to anyone
who's ever suffered from acne
or anyone who's got kids
or anything suffering from acne.
It really is horrific.
Bless you.
Horrific.
Yeah, it was awful.
I told you I did now
when I had that one in my ear
and I pulled my earlobe down
and it went all over the wall.
Oh.
It's like Kevin and Perry go large.
So it was like on the back of my ear.
I was like in my ear,
this spot,
and I was in the sauna.
I was in the sauna at the time
and having baths.
And I was like, I couldn't touch my ear because it was hurting that much. It was like this like, my ear this spot and i was in the sauna i was in the sauna at the time and having having baths and i was like i was i couldn't touch me x it was hurting how much i was like this like
just like this like big crater and i just randomly got my earlobe and i just pulled my earlobe down
and i just heard like oh and i just it was all over the wooden wall oh my word oh no bad in it
oh bless you yeah it was really really bad really bad it's not bad anymore. No, well, I think it sort of helped me.
It might have sort of moulded my personality
because I had to start taking the piss out of it.
So having acne makes you a dickhead?
I was going to say a comedy genius.
Oh, no.
Wow.
Dickhead.
Wow.
Definitely dickhead.
Wow.
Spoken like someone who didn't have the hard years of acne.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bap.

Anyway, I just wanted to come on dead quick.
Because, like, you nah, I nah.
Like, you didn't say Happy Mother's Day to Rosie and that,
but just let her know that I did one on my Instagram,
but she's blocked us.
But let her know that I said, from me in the bin,
Happy Mother's Day to the one true love of me life.
The best mother in the whole wide world.
Honestly, nobody is better than her.
She never makes any mistakes.
She's fucking brilliant.
Even though her tits don't work,

to get a dial tone on yet.
It's nice to hear from him.
Really?
I've been,
I've genuinely been worried about him.
Yeah.
I think,
I think it just had a lot to do
with me being a bit down
that the beefs haven't been around.
He must have picked up on it.
Is that what it is
that just couldn't be us
it was weird
as soon as he started talking
I was so happy
and literally
five six seven eight words in
I went

Went upstairs, get your stuff,
go and get your things from different rooms all the time
when you want things.
Sort of.
Yeah, yeah.
You've got a lot.
You're actually really shitted at the minute though.
No, I'm great at it.
I was shitted when I had my bad ankle,
but now my ankle's better.
And last night, you were over in the kitchen making a juice and you found a biscuit a leftover little mr
man biscuit for me i said oh i didn't think there's any in that tin you said no there's not
no there is there's one i said that's amazing i'll have it with a cup of tea i heard a bang
as i said it i turned around you were gone i went where are you you went lying on the floor i went
why you went because i don't want to make you? You went lying on the floor. I went, why?
You went, because I don't want to make you a cup of tea.
I mentioned that I might want a cup of tea
and you fucking threw yourself on the ground
like a football player in the Champions League
who'd just been slightly tapped near the 18-yard box.
What you don't realise though is you've hit a nerve.
Right.
I hate making people hot drinks.
All hot drinks. All hot drinks.
All hot, anything.
If someone comes to the house
and I'm like,
do you want a drink?
I'm like, juice, juice, juice, juice.
Double beef,
double beef coming at you.
Right, beef 2.0 here.
Right, great, come on.
You make a thing all the time.
You did it the other day
while I had work
in the house doing stuff.
The other day,
I heard from the other room,
do you want a cup of tea?
Anything else?
He has not offered you one.
That's,
you won't make me a cup of tea
but builders are in
you're fucking
knocking the coffee machine on
you're making frappuccinos
cappuccinos
all kinds of shit
going on
and you love slagging me off
and saying I haven't made them tea
and I had
and I ran through didn't I
I heard you
and I ran through
you have
I said don't you
I went to the bloke
I went tell her
now that I made you
teas didn't I
that was embarrassing I wasn't having it I wasn't having it now that I made you a tease. That was embarrassing.
I wasn't having it.
I wasn't having it.
Why have you made that a thing?
That doesn't happen.
I never go, oh, is he not offered you one?
Every time, every time you go, oh, is he not giving you a tease?
Ah, you put the fucking finish to it.
Listen, in my defence, that's just a British thing to say.
We've got certain things that we just say,
and that just must have slipped off the tongue.
It's called jokes
and whatever
I was in the other room
I sprinted through
stop it in the mic stand
I was in the other room
I sprinted through
and I was like
mate I was like
tell her now
that you made me
that I made you two teas
because this is
I'm not having this
as a slander
and he was a bit
quiet for a bit
but then he did
he probably thought
who's this psycho
what's he listening to his wife
in the other room for
honestly
obsessed much?
There we go.
That's why I don't post stuff here.
Toss it.
Right, my beef with you.
What is it?
And my regret saying that, well, probably not.
I've said worse stuff.
Okay.
Yeah, my beef with you.
This has been happening our whole relationship.
Oh, God.
So how long?
Eight years?
Oh, Jesus.
How long have we been together? How long have we been married? How long have we been married? We've been married since 2014. So, how long? Eight years? Oh, Jesus. How long have we been together?
How long have we been married?
How long have we been married?
We've been married since 2014.
So, what's that?
Five?
Six?
Nearly six years.
Nearly six years.
So, we've been together eight.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's about right.
Right.
You don't know either, so shut up.
Give it a tick.
I'm working on it as we go.
I'm sort of padding through the dark here.
Oh, good.
For them eight years that we've been together,
possibly not the first year because this didn't happen okay every time or if just every time i mention
that i might need a number two or i am about to have a number two or you might walk in and
i'm possibly having a number two you look at me with absolute disgust like why haven't you got used to the fact that i i do poo
like you every single time you you're like shut the door oh god every time it's got worse during
lockdown because you hear a lot more obviously when we're together but i've just it's really it's really made us realize how much you hate that i shit yeah that's
the way you do it man you're bloody paraded about for everyone to see what do you mean yeah just you
leave the door open you come in yeah yeah you come in and do it while stuff's happening while we're
chatting or somebody your favorite one is your favorite one which should have actually been one
of my beefs ones we could be literally standing having a discussion about something, we're standing
talking about the podcast, talking about the tour or whatever
and you literally will go, oh I need a poo
but just come with us and we'll keep the conversation going
no we won't keep the conversation going
go and have your shit and come back
we're not fucking adjourning this
meeting to the bathroom, you pig
the do creep up on us
we've talked about this before, no I just don't like
the way that
it's just
disgust
just go off and do it
don't tell us
the thing is there
you started this
you've answered your own question
you started this beef with
whenever I tell you
or whenever I'm having poo
or whenever we're talking
I start having a bit
just go and do it
it's the fact that you announce it
it's the fact that you announce it
no no no
okay let's simplify it here
there's been times
a lot of times
you shout at me
Rosie
and I'll go,
I'm on the loo, and you go, ah.
Yeah, that's fair, that's fair.
And it's like, what?
Just stop being on the loo.
Stop doing it.
Go and leave that.
Go somewhere else.
Go and shit at your mum's house.
I've had enough.
All right?
I'm fucking sick of it.
Go and shit at your mum's, on the motorhome.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Because I poo too.
Hashtag I poo too.
It's time for
questions from
the public.
From the public.
Public.
Public.
Guys, as always,
if you want to get
in touch, it is
shagged, married
in order at
gmail.com.
Please continue
to send everything
because it's always
brilliant and we'll
love you for it.
Thank you so, so
much.
Rosie's doing the
reading today.
Yeah.
Bothered her arse.
We don't have a mysteries this week.
No mystery?
Couldn't find one.
Well, I mean...
Where's the mystery?
That is the mystery.
Oh.
Right.
So, we've got lots of questions,
all very good ones.
I've been having a little laugh
whilst I've been reading through them.
Do you know what it is?
It is my favourite bit
because, A,
this is one of the only times in my week
that I actually hear
from the outside world
yeah
and
we haven't been doing anything
B
we've got
we're nothing
I've been doing nothing
I look at my diary
there's nothing there
I've done not a thing
so it's just nice
to just enjoy
other people's wars
and C
I
after two years
of doing this podcast
I was like
we'll run out of stuff
no we won't.
Yeah.
There is just always something new on these.
One of them.
That's brilliant.
Coming up, one of them.
You're going to lose your mind.
Really?
I can't wait.
Go.
Dear Rosie and Chris,
firstly, hope you are both well.
Oh.
Are you well?
As well as can be.
Same.
Yeah.
I'm having a good day.
Not a bad day for me.
Ask us tomorrow. Yeah. Since the ankle got better, life a bad day for me ask us tomorrow
since the ankle got better
life's looked up for me
our whole life has
I still genuinely walk around the house
and now and then I just go
because I can walk
I've got a massive smile on my face
and I'm just walking around picking stuff up
it hasn't happened yet
when's the day going to come that we look back on this and laugh?
It hasn't happened yet.
I doubt that very much.
You listed everything the other day that happened.
Yeah.
So what was it?
It was pandemic, child off school, brand new baby,
wife recovering from a caesarean section,
broken ankle and six inches of snow outside.
Yes.
Yeah.
All in one go.
Look, you laugh though.
Are we nearly there?
I was the kind of laugh
the Joker does in Batman
before he chops someone's face off.
I'm not laughing properly.
Okay.
Yeah, not there yet.
Yeah.
But thanks for asking.
Yeah.
Fuck you for asking.
Dragging up all that.
I didn't ask to go down that memory lane.
All right, stop.
Erase it, erase it.
Okay, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.
Back, back, back.
Ever since my girlfriend and I started listening to your brilliant podcast,
she has been telling me to write you with my story.
A story that causes me to die a little inside each time I think about it.
Always the best ones.
So here goes.
Always the best ones.
The ones that make you, when you remember them,
make you involuntarily just make a noise in the middle of the night. You're in a shower. They're my favourite ones. Yeah. They're my favourite ones. So here goes. Always the best ones. The ones that make, when you remember them, make you involuntary
just make a noise
in the middle of the night
you're in a shower.
They're my favourite ones.
Yeah.
My favourite ones.
Just literally,
you'll be walking around
the house doing something
and you just go,
oh God!
Because you just remember
something horrible.
What's yours?
I've got fucking millions.
I remember them
on a daily basis.
I've got one that pops up
the head.
It pops up.
Oh, I remember mad stuff
I've done on a daily basis
and just go like,
eh!
To just get the thought
out of my head.
Yeah.
Tell us.
Tell us.
I've got millions of them.
I'll tell you next time when one pops in.
Okay.
One will pop in while we're doing this, I'll tell you.
Okay.
The fateful event took place around seven years ago
when, at the time, I was a young trainee accountant
at a small local practice.
I had a small portfolio of clients to manage,
and as part of this, with the managing director of my firm,
I would attend meetings with clients
to discuss their accounts
and slash or tax returns.
Portfolio.
I did enjoy the word portfolio, I have to say.
Yeah, but honestly.
Yeah, horrible.
Worst job in the world, I think.
No disrespect because someone's got to do it,
but the thought of doing my tax return again.
I loved it when I met you and you had an accountant.
You were like, do you want to use my account i was like i honestly the the yeah giving them the receipts
is the worst oh i think you poor fucking bastard you've got to look through these this is awful
i had to do that back in the day myself and i didn't know what i was doing i'm not gonna do it
when i first started stand-up i had to do it i had to work out the mileage so i had to work out how
many miles each gig was yeah i remember And I remember just sitting on the RAC route plan
and working out
so it'd be like
I went to Manchester and back
and it'd be like
if I dropped someone else off
on the way
I'd work out the exact miles
and it was like
41 pence a mile or some shit.
Oh, it's horrendous.
It's not worth it.
All my whole life
of being self-employed
like a performer
I just wanted to take
on a contract
where I'd be like
please,
will you just do me taxes?
Will you just pay us
and you do it?
Now it's worse though
because you get all the money
and then at the end of the year
you go,
you know all that money you've got?
Not all yours.
You go,
okay then,
bye.
Yeah,
bye money.
The particular client meeting
of this tale
was with a husband and wife
to review their company's accounts.
They had very recently
had a baby
and so,
despite it having little
or no discernible
financial knowledge,
the baby also attended the meeting.
Mint.
Obviously one of them couples who just loves to take the baby also attended the meeting. Mint. Obviously one of them
couples who just loves to take the baby everywhere.
Whereas we will fob ours off
any given opportunity.
Time out or lamppost outside?
That's something that annoys me about
people who have babies.
What, the time in the lamppost outside? No.
That's awful.
People who just, when they have a baby, just feel
the need to take the baby everywhere.
Yeah.
Even if they do have childcare.
Well, we were watching Below Deck
the other night, weren't we?
Because we're working our way
through the back catalogue
of Below Deck
because it's got lockdown viewing
because we can't watch anything gritty
or with any drama in it
because we both get sad
because we're on the edge.
Yeah.
So we just watched Below Deck
and it's great.
And we're watching,
I don't know what series it is now,
it's the one with Josiah.
Shout out to Josiah.
I think you listen to the podcast.
Oh, yeah.
I think he Instagrammed me once.
Yeah.
Ages ago.
And he was like, I don't know what he said.
He said something, but I didn't recognize him
because we hadn't got to that series yet.
So he's, sorry to exclude anyone who doesn't watch Below Deck,
but it's basically about yachties.
So it's about the people who work on the yachts
and these people these mega rich people like charter the yacht now i don't know how much the
yacht is to charter i've got no idea but i do know at the end of a charter they give a tip of
over 15 grand 15 grand or plus what the act that's the tip the fucking tip they give an envelope like
drug dealer money but there's that there was just one where there was 10 people on
and this man and woman
had been like
let's take all our friends
on a yacht
and they'd bought
their two kids with them
like
can you imagine that
going hey guys
hey hey
adult Sony
come on on the yacht
bring all
oh by the way
we're bringing my two kids
because fuck all you
because we're paying
no chance
I'd be raging
absolutely no chance
say when you get invited
to a wedding
and they're like
you can bring your kids
I'm like well why would I do that they're not coming and now because I've heard that I'm not coming byddwn yn ymdrin. Yn unig, byddwn yn ymdrin. Yn unig, byddwn yn ymdrin. Felly pan fyddwch yn cael eich cyflwyniad i wneud gwyddon, a'ch bod yn dweud, gallwch ddod â'ch plant. Dwi'n meddwl, beth fyddwn i'n ei wneud?
Dydyn nhw ddim yn dod ac nawr oherwydd fy mod wedi clywed hynny, dydw i ddim yn dod.
Ydw i'n dweud wrthych chi. Mae gennyf y cod.
Roedden ni'n cael y rheol ar ein gwyddon, oeddwn ni?
Roedden ni?
Roeddwn i'n galluogi plant yn y dydd, ac yn benodol, yn y cyflwyniad,
yn ystod ystod ystod, doedd dim plant yn cael eu galluogi.
Ydyn ni? Nid oeddwn i'n gwybod hynny.
Sut wyt ti ddim yn gwybod hynny? Roedd e'n eich gwyddon hefyd! Nid wyf yn gwybod pa mor oedolion oedd yna. Nid wyf yn gwybod pa mor oedolion oedd yna Nighttime do, no children allowed. Did you really? I wasn't aware of that. How do you not know that? It was your wedding as well.
I don't even know how many adults were there.
I don't even know which adults were there on the night.
I was mortal drunk.
You were.
Yeah, that was the rule.
Yeah?
You do know that.
Of course you know that.
I didn't know you told them specifically.
I thought they all just left because they were tired.
Oh, yeah.
All of the kids just left because they were tired.
No, Chris, I said it.
Specifically, I said,
nighttime do, no kids.
Got you.
Because we didn't have kids. And I was like, why do I want kids at my wedding on a night? I've got kids now, and I said, night time do, no kids. Got you. Because we didn't have kids
and I was like,
why do I want kids at my wedding on a night?
I've got kids now
and I still don't want kids at my wedding.
We might have had to change it.
You're not either.
You're not coming either.
What?
I'm not invited to your next wedding?
That's shocking.
No way.
I'll be there.
I will be there.
I'll marry you.
Thank you for taking this
arsehole
off my hands
he never posts
anything on Mother's Day
good luck with that
I now pronounce you
Mr and Mrs
cunt bag
congratulations
Robin Wraith
get your coat again
so anyway
it was a bit harsh
what I said about people
who take their kids
everywhere
but people do
people wear it
like they wear them
like a badge of
fucking
oh me kids
like no
leave them somewhere
like
let them have their
independence
is that bad of me
to say that as a man
if it's your opinion
it's absolutely fine
look you're the one
who leaves your messages
open on Instagram
I don't
people might whinge
but I'll never know anyway I love my kids more than anything in the world just don't want to spend
all the time with them especially after this year oh wow oh god so anyway back to this back to this
the meeting was progressing well when after 15 minutes or so everyone's attention turned to the
baby who had now fallen asleep in the mother's arms i being incredibly witty
decided to make a joke saying something along the lines of that'll be me in a minute classic
this was met with more nervous laughter than i was going for with my boss also throwing me
a very displeased glance and stating i don't think that would be appropriate at all
understandable i've got it i've done this one understandable
though i suppose falling asleep in a finance meeting would be somewhat unprofessional
after some more awkward laughter the meeting continued until five minutes later the mother
adjusted her position in the chair it was at this moment and from this new angle i then realized the
baby wasn't sleeping at all it was in fact breastfeeding classic absolutely fucking great i knew straight away because i've
done that i've done that i've told you about this before oh you do that all the time all the time
but i didn't want to wait on a pub and i was craning my neck and i'm trying to see this baby's
face it's on this woman's knee and i'm looking i'm looking i'm leaning i've nearly got my forehead
on her face and i'm like and that's the reason i can't see his face is there's a tit in the way bye horrible i totally didn't i walked away and i came back what so with that
time in the pub it was a new crime pub in south shields when i worked you were working there yeah
yeah and i was like oh baby and i was like look look leaning in leaning in and i was like oh and
i realized and i like sort of put my head up straight i walked off and i walked back like
five minutes later because i couldn't bear it and i went just so you know i didn't realize until the last minute that you were breastfeeding and i'm so sorry and
the woman was just laughing my head off yeah because it's you know it's totally natural but
it is a bit awkward and when a young barman is like oh so mortified breastfeeding babies as well
they do a lot of like they kind of latch on and then they'll just come off yeah and so there's
just a full tit on view and then they'll go back on and then they'll come off and then they'll just come off. Yeah. And so there's just a full tit on view
and then they'll go back on and then they'll come off
and then they'll go back on.
So, yeah, obviously I've never...
My tits don't work!
I like to think that when they're doing that,
I like to think the baby's like that and then moves up and goes...
And then moves off and goes...
Look at that.
Tits off of the lads.
I imagine that's what they're doing in their little heads. I don't think they do that.
That's definitely what they do.

Hi Chris and Rosie.
I've listened to your podcast from the very start.
I'm a huge fan.
Nice. I've always enjoyed listening to the tales of bedroom hijinks.
Hijinks, yeah.
Hijinks.
That's a word.
What is that?
Just like shenanigans.
Right.
Gone awry.
Mm.
But it wasn't until recently that I realised that I myself have a tale to tell.
Oh, well, here we go.
This memory had seemingly buried itself away in my head,
but on a recent car journey, it unlocked itself,
and I feel it is my duty as a smar to share it.
Always the best.
The repressed ones that pop back up are always the best ones.
They are, because you've repressed them for a reason.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let it out.
Let it all out.
It was the first weekend that my ex and I were spending together.
We'd been on weeknight dates.
We'd had sleepovers.
But this was the first time we were spending a prolonged, uninterrupted period of time together.
So I was keen to impress.
Right, okay.
Okay.
We'd had a lovely weekend.
Lots of good times,
good food and good sex.
Congratulations. On this Sunday,
after a cute pub lunch,
I decided
that I wanted to show my spicy
side, so we went back to mine and
headed straight to the bedroom.
Oh God. I grabbed a headscarf,
tied his hands above his head and used my sleep mask to blindfold him. Oh, God. I grabbed a headscarf, tied his hands above his head
and used my sleep mask
to blindfold him.
He was loving it.
Right.
I just,
that kind of thing,
it's a lot of admin.
You would hear me
if I did that.
A lot of admin.
I'm all right for it.
I'm all right.
Like, I just,
I find it,
I'd laugh.
I just find it.
So boring.
I don't know,
just like, oh, yes, me head's going to put. I just find it, So boring. I don't know, just like,
oh, there's me head's gone,
put your hands up,
tie it to there,
can you get out?
Yeah, no,
a bit tighter then,
too tight it hurts.
Alright then,
a bit of headboards,
is anyone in?
No, no one's in.
Oh, there we go,
where's me head's,
there's me blindfold,
it's pushing on me eyes
a bit,
I can't,
okay,
that's itchy.
Oh my God, I'm fucking, put it in already. Just sick of it this i kind of okay that's itchy oh my god fucking
put it in already just sick of it like how much time has everyone got it's everyone funny and
about just have the cute dinner why not but just go and have like if you i just feel like you're
not very good at having sex if you have to do all this crap as well right okay that's my point right
so you're yes i think i agree with you if sex is enjoyable enough you shouldn't have to be doing
all of this shit.
Yeah.
But they've obviously got a lot of time on their hands.
Like that restaurant we went to in New York, remember,
where they all fucking dance on the tables and scream and shout and go crazy.
Not the best food in the world.
They were covering up for something.
Yeah, not the greatest food I've ever had.
But all together, all of the big song and dance made it a good experience.
Okay, well, that's what this is then.
Yeah, well, just, you know. It is our ex. Right, yeah. all the big song and dance made it a good experience okay well that's what this is then yeah
well just you know
it is our ex
right
yeah
get better at booking
you don't have to do
all this crap
fucking admin man
so much admin
alright well that's you
some people enjoy it
I don't
Rosie I don't like
fucking plugging all this
podcast equipment in
once a week
does me head in
I hate it
I couldn't be arsed
with all of that
I'm the one that you
have to have sex with
so let's stop
you know slagging off everything and saying that you you hate the admin involved in
sex right because that's offensive to me what you could what because you think i should like a load
of admin but we don't have a load of admin right let's not chat listen well these people know
enough about us about you why make this about you It's all about me. So listen, listen.
He was loving it.
He was loving it.
I decided to take it a step further and really surprise him.
Oh, God.
I ran to the kitchen,
leaving him naked and vulnerable on my bed.
I'd be raging.
I'd pull the fucking headboard off.
I'd hear I go out the door.
I'd go, what is this?
I'm going to wake up without a kidney.
I'd smash a fucking kidney.
He's very trusting, actually. Honestly, I'd go, what is this? I'm going to wake up without a kidney. I'd smash a fucking kidney. He's very trusting,
actually. Honestly, I'm
fine for it. Why do you think these always
end in disaster? Come on, keep going.
It's not that bad.
It's just a little bit quirky. Bloody health and safety nightmare.
What if there was a fire?
I don't think he's tired. I don't think she's tired
at that time. Well, you can get out then. Most pointless thing.
All he's doing is holding his hands above his head like a fucking Mexican wave on exam.
I think it's more the you know, you've tied out then. Most pointless thing. All he's doing is holding his hands above his head like a fucking Mexican wave on his arm. I think it's more the
you know, you've tied me up.
You are dominating and all that. Exactly. It's bollocks.
That's what I'm saying. If you can get out, it's crap.
Right, come on. Fuck's sake.
Seriously, somebody take this man
off my hands.
I ran
to the kitchen, leaving him naked and vulnerable
on the bed. I've said that. I grabbed some
ice cubes from my freezer and carried
them back to the bedroom in a bowl.
I then proceeded to rub the ice cubes
over his body whilst kissing him.
Jesus Christ. Ice, ice,
baby.
It's pathetic. It's just a waste of time.
You're going to have a wet patch on the bed. Is he a man or a mojito?
What is this?
Oh, oh, I said mojito
or mojito. I hadn't used ice in this way Oh, oh, I've got moiter on my head now.
I hadn't used ice in this way before,
so I was extremely focused on his face to make sure he was enjoying it.
I'm glad... Oh, sorry, she was looking at his face.
Yes.
I thought she was rubbing it just on his face.
Just a cube on his cheek.
That good?
She did this, she's never done it before.
Just on his cheek. That good? She did this. She's never done it before. Just on his cheeks.
That nice?
On his eyebrows.
That's all I thought you meant.
So she's rubbing up the rest of his body
and she's looking at his face.
I get it.
She's looking at his face.
I'm glad he was blindfolded
because my face was full of concentration
and not sexy at all.
Pointless.
See what I mean?
Well, all right, for you,
but not for these anyway.
You're ruining the actual story.
Okay, sorry.
When the first ice cube melted,
I grabbed another
and rubbed it in his private area.
Despite the coldness of the ice,
it was clear that he was enjoying the experience
from both the look on his face and the size of his
E-R-E-C
Come on.
We don't need to spell it out.
We understand what's happening here.
Why is it that I said the C word earlier
on but I can't say
Yeah.
I've said this before. I had a routine
about this years ago. Science-y words
are worse than swear words.
I felt a bit uncomfortable. My nana routine about this years ago. Science-y words are worse than swear words. Yeah, I felt a bit uncomfortable.
My nana listened to this.
Yeah, it's weird.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, sorry, nana.
I'm talking about a hard-on nana.
How weird, man.
Heavens above, man.
She didn't need it spelled out, man.
She's probably sitting there going,
get on with it, man.
Sorry.
Okay.
I then started to perform oral sex on him him but the minute his penis was fully in
my mouth i realized something was very very wrong oh god there was something lumpy on his penis
something almost gritty i was instantly freaked out wondering what sort of disgusting dick disorder
this guy had.
How I hadn't noticed it before this point.
Could you book an emergency gynaecologist appointment on a Sunday?
I pulled my head out of his crotch and stared at his naked body.
All over his crotch were little cream coloured balls.
They looked like tiny eggs.
They were all over him but mainly seemed to be embedded in his pubic hairs.
What the hell?
By this point, he had noticed that the mood had shifted in the room and started to ask what was going on.
Brilliant.
I could tell he was panicking under his blindfold.
I told him not to panic and put what was remaining of the final ice cube back into the bowl.
Then it all clicked into place.
Shut up.
The night before, I had used that bowl to store some excess couscous that I had poured out of the bag whilst cooking.
I hate her.
I hate her.
I hate her for doing all this, right?
I hate her for doing all this and fannying on
and I hate her for keeping couscous anywhere in our house.
The couscous had stuck itself to the ice and in
rubbing it all over him I had in fact been rubbing dried couscous all over his body. When I realised
that this was something that could be fixed without medical assistance I started howling with laughter.
He saw the funny side too once I untied him. Totalled off to try and wash the dried grains
from his nethers. There you are. Pointless. Waste of time. All you've done is, right,
you've dirtied a bowl twice.
That needs washing.
There's wet on the bed.
You've just wasted everyone's time.
Least he was hydrated.
What, on the outside?
That doesn't work like that.
Well, who knows?
What a pointless act that was.
I got on a stop message.
Get it in there.
And then what's your telly after? Oh, right. Come on, man messaging. Get it in there and then watch a telly after.
Oh, right.
Come on, man.
And that's how I sex life, ladies and gentlemen.
Except we don't put the telly on because it's too late.
Go straight to sleep.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.
Speaking of sex.
Hello, Christopher and Rosemarino.
That's my Instagram handle.
I don't know why.
Made it up a few years ago to just, I've never changed it.
This story goes back to the start of lockdown okay my girlfriend and i moved into a small flat in london in january cut to march and the whole country has gone to pot
one night we started to get a bit frisky specifically thursday 26th of March at 7.50pm.
I know this time because unbeknownst to us,
this was the first clap for Carers.
In the middle of our shag, our whole street began applauding.
I knew it wasn't for me, but my God, it felt like it was.
Oh, great.
That's going to get you going, innit?
With the entire road applauding and cheering at my efforts,
it was probably the best I have ever performed.
Cut to the following week, and we couldn't help but repeat our performance to rapturous applause.
Amazing.
We felt a bit shitty, but for ten glorious weeks,
our neighbours unknowingly clapped wildly as we got down to it.
Since it has stopped, our shags have never been the same.
That's amazing. Hey, don't feel bad. You enjoy that. Why not?
Hi Chris and Rosie. I'm from Birmingham, but I live in Vietnam.
I've been going out with my Vietnamese girlfriend, Cha, for the best part of two two years and have only recently been invited around to her mum's house for the first time.
Wow after two years. I know. Goodness. Before heading over me and my girlfriend met at a cafe
and went over the plan. Basically the plan was that I was going to be as polite as possible
and use as much of my shitty Vietnamese language skills as I could. Then we hopped on my motorbike
and sped off to her mum's.
With both of us
feeling the nerves,
as from Chad told me,
her mum isn't easy to please.
Goodness me.
Well, meeting the parents
is bad anyway,
like hard anyway
to be fair,
quite stressful
in another language.
The language barrier.
Whoa,
the stakes are high.
We arrive at her mum's
and after a few
overly formal
and awkward greetings,
I take a seat on the sofa.
Chad and her mum pop to the kitchen to get some tea, and I'm left playing with the cat.
Within seconds, the cat gets bored of me, walks to a corner of the room, and starts pissing on the carpet.
I look around for a litter tray, or some kind of newspaper, but there's nothing.
Now, Chat comes back into the lounge, and I point her towards what's going on. She shows
no interest whatsoever and nonchalantly informs me that this is the cat's pissing corner.
No fucking way. And that it's totally normal behaviour. Nah. I'm about to beg the fuck to
differ, but I hold back. You know, it's not my home or my culture. Wow. When the cat's done, he slinks off to another room,
leaving a dark stain on the blue carpet
and a mild to moderate disgusted white man on the sofa.
Then, without a word, Char gets up, walks to the corner,
rips out the section of piss-stained carpet with her bare hands
and heads to the balcony just off the lounge.
Sorry. Pistained carpet with her bare hands And heads to the balcony just off the lounge Sorry Curiously
I watch her through the glass window
As she chucks the handful of carpet
Onto a pile of similar carpet segments
She then reaches
Onto the shelf above and brings down
A book of fucking
Carpet samples
Shut up
She takes two out from the binder,
puts the book back on the shelf, comes
back through the lounge and places the fresh
carpet squares neatly in the
vacant slot below where the cat
had just been squatting. No
way, man. Before I
can ask her what the hell is happening,
my eyes scan the rest of the room
and it dawns on me, it's
all carpet samples.
Like a fucking jigsaw.
The entire floor
is a patchwork of slightly different
shades of blue carpet
all fitted together perfectly
and without adhesive.
Naturally I start pissing myself laughing
and ask my girlfriend to go and get the binder
because I may pop at any minute.
It turns out that my girlfriend of two years
had neglected to ever tell me
that her mum lives on a rotating roster of carpet samples
from her aunt's carpet shop.
When a patch gets dirty,
she simply replaces it with a fresh one
from the book or from the washing machine.
That's fantastic. It's worth noting here that her mum is not in a position to not the book or from the washing machine. That's fantastic.
It's worth noting here that her mum is not in a position to not be able to afford a full carpet.
She's just too frugal to invest in one or a litter tray.
That's unbelievable. That is unbelievable.
I relaxed significantly after that as I figured that if her mum's standards are set as low
as living on piss-stained carpet stumbles, I was in with a good shot of impressing her.
I absolutely love that that's unbelievable
you know what I weirdly love it
I mean terrible for the environment
so bad just throwing massive bits of carpet
out all the time
I've got a feeling they're just really little squares
have you seen carpet sample books
how does she run the hoove around
I mean with great difficulty.
What do you do?
Does she get the little tiny nozzle
and hold each bit down with her finger
and go,
and then move to the next bit?
You'd have to.
You couldn't carpet it.
You couldn't roll the full hoover up?
No.
Is this going to pull them all up?
Do you think it's a little bit genius
or do you think it's ridiculous?
Well, there's a fine line
between insanity and genius, isn't there?
It's on the fucking line, to be fair. But it's quite clever for the there's a fine line between insanity and genius it's on the fucking
line to be fair
but it's quite clever
for the pissing corner
yeah
so the cat's got
the little pissing corner
fresh bit of carpet
every time
not bad that
cat doesn't know
it's born
I know
buy a litter tray
what's wrong with people
I mean I understand
people don't like
litter trays
they think they're disgusting
some people can
get their cat
way outside
or whatever
you can teach them
in the toilet
jeez
I mean goodness me it's amazing that like love stuff like that she's lucky that it's that
that auntie's got a carpet shop because she'd be knackered otherwise i've got a funny feeling she
wouldn't be doing it if the auntie didn't have a carpet so do i but when did that start
do you want to do some free carpet yeah can i have 600 carpet 600 carpet samples, please? I think it would have started.
It would have started by a conversation of,
oh, I've got to get rid of all these.
These are old stock.
I've got to get rid of it.
And the mam, like my mam probably would have went,
you're getting rid of them.
Or your mam will have anything.
No, someone will use them.
And then she'll have sat,
and they'll have sat in the corner of the room for weeks,
and she'll go, what can I do with them?
They're fine carpets, them.
She'll have thought, right, sod it i'm gonna mosaic me floor jesus that's my or was it like oh my carpet's got
a massive stain on i can't get it out or cut it out cut it out and just try and get a similar color
and then maybe maybe that was it maybe it was one carpet and you cut one out and put the thing back
in and then it got to the point where it became more
cut out bits than actual
carpet. I mean
I quite like it. We're not doing
it. I'll tell you that right now. You could do it with
tiles. You can do it with tiles. That's
why you keep spare tiles. Yeah. But just
not grout them together. You get them grouted down in adhesive.
I mean that is fucking crazy behaviour
that. Love it. Babadoo babadoo babadoo
bap. Hi Rosie and Chris.
Please keep me anonymous for the story.
The story happened when I was 18 and with my ex-boyfriend.
Being that young and in love,
we were still at it like rabbits any chance we could get.
So we were at his house,
and his mum and stepdad were going out on a date night.
Lucky us.
My ex was the oldest of four kids,
so they were leaving him in charge.
He stuck his younger siblings in the living room with a film so that we could have some fun upstairs.
We started with floor play and when that had finished, we were about to have sex.
But I turned around and accidentally kicked him in the face.
Nice.
I was embarrassed, but we laughed it off and carried on.
Only to be disturbed 15 minutes later.
His little sister had come upstairs,
slightly worried, and opened the door.
Luckily, we were under the sheets.
He was on top and the bed was next to the door,
so my ex was quick to slam the door on her face,
cover me up, then open it slightly
so he could ask her what was the matter.
He was stark bollock naked behind the door
talking to his little sister,
and the exchange went as below.
Little sister, erm, I think there's a cat outside in pain
i keep hearing it cry my ex oh no i'm sure it'll be okay don't worry little sister no no i keep
hearing a whimpering noise oh no come on my ex looked at me and smiled like he had the idea what was going on and i was still clueless
my ex said to his sister what does it sound like to my horror his little sister started to mimic
the noise that she had heard my ex shut the door and collapsed to the floor laughing it was me she
had heard my ex's poor little sister was mimicking my sex noises, concerned
there was an injured cat outside.
And it was me. I wanted the
ground to swallow me up.
Oh, God.
Bless
our little heart.
But then the last
and then she's lying there mid-sex
and a child is out.
That'll kill the mood,
when a child knocking on the door
and mimicking your sex noises.
What, an injured cat?
I don't know.
Some people make some dodgy sex noises.
So there's either something wrong with her sex noises
or there's something wrong with the cats in that local area.
It's one of the two.
Somebody send out the RSPCA,
for the love of God. Injured sex cats all over the two. Somebody send out the RSPCA for the love of God.
Injured sex cats
all over the place.
Injured sex cat.
That's the name of my new band.
Please welcome to the stage

Meow.
