Hello, you're listening to Shag Marinoid with me, the big whore, and my husband, Christopher Ramsey.
You are the big whore. I'm so glad. I'm so glad you finally admitted it.
Chris just called me a big whore before we started recording.
See, that's the fun. So the real fun, the real fun of having a wife who you love is all of the sexist things that I could never say to any other woman on the planet.
I can just say it to you and I get away with it scot-free.
Literally just about to record, you went, have a good show, you big whore.
I was like, great, thanks for that.
And you know, you are going to have a good show whilst being a big whore.
So it's happy days.
It is. You are bang on every day.
Welcome back, everyone. Hi, hope you're well.
Lovely to have you back and listening to us blather on.
Rosie's not hungover this week, which is good.
I am not hungover.
I'm so sorry about that.
It's extremely unprofessional.
Just thought I'd go on my ends.
Where have I been?
Wow, that hungover, you couldn't remember where you've been.
We've been to the theatre.
Oh, we had.
That's what we've been doing.
Right, yeah.
Lovely restaurant in Newcastle and went to the theatre
and we just got full of wine and beer.
That seems like years ago.
Yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
Holy shit.
I've had two gigs since then.
Can I just say, right?
I had, the way COVID reshuffled everything,
I had a gig in Clacton-on-Sea last week.
I had to go there and back.
It wasn't like in the tour schedule.
I had to go all the way there,
do the gig and all the way back.
And I know that sounds like, you know.
First world problems.
Yeah, first world problems.
Me diamond slippers are too tight.
I had to go all the way to Clacton
and perform with a thousand people or whatever.
But it was, you know, quite...
To do a one-off that far away,
you would never know me booked it in.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Crowd were unbelievable.
And then same again.
Peterborough, I did on Sunday.
Again, all the way there, all the way back, one gig.
Big shout out to those two...
Those two crowds specifically
for making us feel really, really happy.
Oh, that's good,
because you were you
were absolutely season human i was fuming that i had to go all the way they don't get us wrong i
mean i've talked about it on the night um but yeah the big there were just great crowds and all the
crowds have been so far in the stand-up so thank you so much me two hours on as i say there's only
tickets for like i'm glad you're enjoying it i'm really really glad it's great it's great it's
funny it's funny what being forced
to stay in your house will do to the productivity of your job yeah does that make sense no no
doesn't make any sense at all right does it not it's funny what's in the house will do because
you you had you couldn't do stand-up for a while because of covid yeah so now you're absolutely
buzzing to do it again yeah crowds are buzzing as well does that make sense yeah yeah so it does
make sense well the productivity didn't know no productivity it wasn't the right word creativity
no you threw a word in do you mean motivation yeah positivity or motivation maybe yeah i think
i meant you pick the word again out of there honestly something you know what you should have
you should have you're not almost like a tombola like when you don't know what a word is you should
just have a tombola but i think that's probably what happens i think in your head there's a little
tombola with loads of different words and none of them are assigned
a meaning and you you barrel into a sentence full on and then you go oh i need a word here
the handle goes around and you just pick a random word out and you go
here's a question for you do you say thesaurus or thesaurus? What's the right way?
Thesaurus.
Thesaurus?
Yeah.
So who says thesaurus?
Is that Americans?
No.
Thesaurus?
No.
Are you sure?
I'm positive.
No one says thesaurus.
Are you sure?
Yes.
But I think they do.
What is this?
Because I was thinking I would need a thesaurus
because I think of a word
but then you can always
get a better version
of the word
right
I used to do it a lot
at school
use a thesaurus
to get better versions
of a word
when you're doing
like an essay or whatever
right
but then I just was like
thesaurus
or is it thesaurus
it's not thesaurus
no one's ever said thesaurus
okay
why would you do that
thesaurus
why
that's like looking at
the word shoe
and going is that shoe
or is it
why have you done that to yourself why have you implemented that there's loads of different people
say loads people say things differently and claim that people say it different are you thinking of
thesis yes right you're not this stupid but sometimes when we turn the mics on
and you just barrel in
I'm not stupid
no but
come on
I just get words
a bit mixed up
but I think
you know
unless you're a bloomin'
genius
it's a difficult
language ours is
it's proved by the fact
that you nearly
didn't finish that sentence
although
shamefully
it's not though is it
because so many
other countries
speak our language
we're just horrific over here.
We're just lazy as fuck.
I mean, some of us are.
I mean, not all of us.
There's British people.
Robin speaks better French than me.
Damn right he does.
They're teaching them a lot younger now, which I think is really good.
Yes.
So there you go.
Wish we'd done that.
I just had a sort of image in my head there of you at school using your thesaurus on your essay.
The way Joey does when he writes the letter for Chandler and Monica to have to Bill who adopted a kid
and he uses
signs off baby kangaroo
that's you
well hey listen
not done us any harm has it
goodness me
guys
as always
thank you so much for listening
this is episode 140
and without further ado
it is time for this week's
lucrative
lucrative sponsor
can it wait
this week's sponsor is staff telling you that the venue you're playing is haunted.
Oh.
All of them.
Yeah.
Every theatre royal in the country, every grand theatre in the country that's more than
50 years old, some stupid prick who works there.
Truth teller.
Tells me that it's haunted what is it rosie what's
it what it's always a lady it's all if you see a great ghost sexist there's a great lady derrick
akora yeah definitely a man right he's the biggest ghost teller out there no i'm saying the ghost
lady oh sorry you thought you thought it's always lady. Oh, sorry. You thought it's always a lady.
I thought you were being extremely sexist
and saying it's always a woman
who tells you that the place is haunted.
First of all,
let's get a correct definition of sexism here.
If I have been told by 10 different people
throughout the course of this tour
that the venue is haunted
and if all 10 of them have been women,
that's me referring to them all being women as a fact. That not me being sexist that's me saying every single one of them
has been no because you are saying it in a derogatory way you were like every single one
you are saying it in a very nice way always say a lady walking around it's the ghost and i go
get out me dressing so it's always a woman who's haunting the theatre. It's always a lady. Yeah. Fucking hanging about like a bad smell.
Oh, I'm just,
honestly, honestly, sick
of hearing it. It's always like a... So hard to be background
tourer, but I didn't think me beef with being background tourer would
be stop telling us your venue's haunted.
Honestly, you might as well be telling us
what colour underpants you've got on.
I couldn't give a fuck. I quite like it though, because
it's usually, they've named
a portion of the theatre after them
so they're important
to the theatre.
Convalidated story.
Just putting it out there
one day
I'd love to haunt a theatre.
Yeah.
There's loads to choose
from up here though.
I'm going to have to
pick wisely.
There's loads to choose from.
Where am I going?
Am I going to the customs house?
Better get me application
in via Ouija board
for which one I'm going to haunt. I'm just going to think about it now. Where am I going? Theatre Royal? the customs house better get me application in via Ouija board for which one I'm going to haunt
I'm just going to think about it now
where am I going
Theatre Royal
Time Theatre
Theatre Royal's good
Empire
Empire
loads
loads of good ones
always
I'm telling you
right now
hand on heart
I'm going to put it
no one in the world
has ever seen a ghost
ever
you're lying
or you think you have
that's why
no no
I want to address this right now you're lying or you think you have. That's why. Because I've got a theory. No, no, I want to address this right now.
You're lying or you think you have.
If you think you have, really think hard because I don't think you have.
Because I honestly think if anyone actually saw a ghost,
their fucking head would explode.
There'd be a babbling mess.
People who, you know, you would lose your mind if you saw a ghost.
If you literally saw someone and then they walked through a wall and you go,
oh yeah, I saw someone, I woke up and I saw them.
Were you half asleep?
Was this a dream?
They don't normally walk through a wall though.
They normally sat at the bottom of the bed.
Bollocks.
It's always that.
Perched at the bottom of the bed.
Oh, were you half asleep?
Did you see this thing
specifically in the state of being
and consciousness
where you're half between sleep and awake?
That's probably the fucking explanation then.
I'm telling you,
if anyone actually saw a ghost,
their head would explode.
You would,
so many questions of the universe
would be answered
the moment you saw a ghost.
You wouldn't be able
to contain yourself.
You'd be like,
there's an afterlife.
So much.
You're fucking lying
or you're stupid.
I'm telling you right now,
if you think you're a ghost,
you're a liar and stupid.
We bought a house
that was made in 1870 something.
I don't want to upset anyone
who might be here
so listen
I'm on the fence
about it all
and if anyone's
here
do you know
that I went
round this house
when we moved in
and shouted at
everybody
from the spirit world
do you know that
I do it when you're
away all the time
is that why the
blog's moving us in
we're freaked out
it wasn't
it was when I was
alone
is that why they
didn't unpack any
of the boxes
just left them in
the garage and
fucked off
because that stupid woman's running round screaming no I do that way they didn't unpack any of the boxes they just left them in the garage and fucked off because that stupid
woman's running around
screaming
no I do it all the time
I do it all the time
it's usually before
I go to bed
I go
right
go away
you're not welcome here
stay away
I don't care about you
I'm not scared
whatever
because apparently
that's what you meant
to do
you meant to shout
at them
to scare them
because usually they're quite scared alright so it's a ghost hanging around to meant to do you meant to shout at them to scare them because usually
they're quite scared
alright so do you guys
okay so it's a ghost
hanging around
to specifically haunt you
but you shouting at them
in your fucking slippers
and your dressing gown
haunt you
in comedy
slippers and dressing gown
and no bra on
yeah
running around the house
shouting
yeah
I've just seen
oh
yeah
just seems
it actually was my mum's head
in her bedroom
yeah
just her head
it's floating
finally finally don't you dare we'd be we'd be lost without her it actually was my mum's head in her bedroom just her head finally
don't you dare we'd be lost
without her
you said something wrong last week on the podcast
I said something wrong
you said something wrong wasn't me
so I just spoke to my mum
last week you said
celebratory instead of
celebratory
I felt you needed to know that going forward celebratory instead of celebratory celebratory okay great just wanted
I felt you needed to know
that going forward
that's good
as soon as you called me stupid
no
yeah yeah
and she also
she says thesaurus
she said yeah
okay good
that must have been
where I've got it from
one
I will discount
what she said
correcting me
because she says thesaurus
and all that does
is confirm that
you and your mum
are both stupid
great
so there you go
wandering around the house
shouting at ghosts.
Should we start?
I don't think Sandra...
Go away!
Don't be in here!
Go away!
I'm not scared of you!
Hold on, let us go in me thesaurus
for a different word for scared
in case you don't understand.
I don't think my mam shouts at ghosts.
I don't think she's scared of anyone.
Oh, good.
Good.
Okay, here's the jingle.
Oh, honestly.
Sick of it.
If you're out there and you say thesaurus
or you think you've
seen a ghost,
you're an idiot.
That's not nice.
I'm not,
you can't say stuff
like that.
It's just a different
opinion to you.
Come on,
don't be like that.
Anyone who thinks
they've seen a ghost
is lying.
They're lying.
They're lying
and they're stupid.
They might not be.
They're lying and
they're stupid
or they were asleep
or they were drunk
or they were on drugs.
What,
stars are real,
aren't they?
Stars?
Oh,
you don't think
stars are real?
I'm joking. You don't think stars are real I'm joking you don't think
stars are real
Chris I was joking
I was joking
because I knew
it would wind you up
look at
I can't even
see his face
oh
that thing you get
a suntan off
that thing you get
a suntan off
is a star
don't be stupid
honestly
sick of this

We couldn't settle on a jingle, jingle.
So this is the jingle, jingle.
We hope you like the jingle, jingle.

You join us back after the jingle. I'm busy typing.

I took the lads to the park, me nephews
and Robin
I haven't told you this, there was a little boy right
do you know how when you were younger
obviously being an only child
you talked about it in the book
you used to try and make friends through osmosis
just kind of joining in the game
yeah I was howling right used to try and make friends like through osmosis, like just kind of joining in the game. Yeah.
Chris.
I was howling, right?
So Robin was on one of them spider frames,
you know, the climbing frames,
but they look like a spider's web.
Oh, the rope ones, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's really good at them.
And this young lad,
he must have been about seven or eight.
I'm going to say eight, right?
He came over. He had like his wellies on
right and he had quite a posh voice just like a little lad little like brown-haired lad he came
over to me and he just looked at us and i was like all right and he like pulled his eyes he went oh
someone's a kid who spent loads of time with
adults i think so yeah and he's coming to you that's amazing so he tried to be your mate
yes but then he ended up playing with the groups are fast honestly he couldn't have been older than
eight he couldn't have been and just kind of looked
around looked at me when someone's a climber i guess i was like yeah i like that oh i love him

I love kids that are like
wise beyond their years
you're right
it's kids who just spend
too much time with adults
I say I like him
I'd have a lot of time
for him in the play
what I don't have time for
is when children
who don't seem to have
a parent with them
oh want you to look
at them play
watch me do this
oh fuck off
like I have to
I have to bite my tongue
completely going I'm not watching my fucking kid bite my tongue. I'm literally going,
I'm not watching my fucking kid,
you stupid little shit.
I'm not going to watch you,
whoever you are.
One thing I didn't miss
during COVID was that.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Watch me.
Look at this.
Look here.
Whose kid is this?
Why am I?
Why am I being spoken to by this?
Crazy man,
have you ever been at the soft play
when one of them asked you
to push them on the swing?
I'm like,
absolutely not.
Where's your man?
Have we spoken about when I went to the,
I think we'll have,
when I went to the soft play in South Shields,
Jumbo Jim's big up,
and I was crawling around the upstairs,
chasing Robin around and screaming,
going like,
and I'd chase him,
and I'd cornered,
turned one of the corners,
and there was a kid there,
and he was fucking hysterical,
because I was on all fours,
going,
and I came around the corner,
and he went like,
and he was like, crying his eyes out, and his dad came up, and I was like the corner and he went like and he was like crying his eyes out
and his dad came up and I was like I'm really
sorry and he was like oh he's like this all the time
but he was like
so he didn't want you to look at him playing
yeah no no he wasn't
yeah I really don't like that I wonder if Robin
I'll be mortified if Robin does that to people
I bet he does I bet he's that kind of kid
I'm going to have to have a word with him actually
yeah don't ask strangers to watch you do stuff.
We went to the soft play the other day,
and it was the first time we'd been back at the soft play
since, like, gosh, 2020, beginning of 2020, right?
Haven't been for ages.
And now Robin is a little bit bigger.
I don't have to follow him around the soft play.
So we've gone from a really strange sort of...
So he was four the last time he went to
soft play yeah and just gone for just gone for and now obviously he's turning six there's a there's
a big chunk so you still have to watch them when they're four you know just gives a break their
fucking arms or whatever and you know so i said to him because i had rave and i was like look i went
don't speak to any grown-ups i said if anybody asks you to go with them or anything like that
you come straight to me you don't go anywhere with anyone right oh i went down he thought i
was like don't you tell me exactly the same when i whenever go off to a two-a-date as well that's
really weird but yeah carry on so i said that to him and he was like no mommy no i won't i won't
of course and i was like right okay so he went off and he came back and I was giving Rafi's dinner
and he was like a bit, he was like,
mum, you know, when he puts his hand,
his mouth like that, he's like,
mum, mum, somebody,
somebody asked us to play with them.
And I was like, what do you mean?
He went, somebody asked us to play with them
and what you said?
And I went, was it a grownup?
He went, no, it's a little boy.
Chrissie, this kid must have been about nine i was like you're all right you can go and play hey it's good man well actually i was like i was like well done for telling mommy but the children
are fine yeah the adults know fear of god in them very good great parent well done but it is sad
that you have to but you have to have them conversations with kids you have to have it and it's so horrible
but
and to the point where
I kind of don't care
if Robin is rude
to a grown up
unless he's with me
I'll check him
and go say hello
or whatever
but if I say to him
do not speak to an adult
other than
if you
but then
then you're like
what if he hurts himself
and he doesn't speak to anyone
you don't know what to do.
But I think I just want to tell him that
so it'll always be on the safe side.
If someone thinks he's rude as shit, I don't give a shit.
I'm like, well, I told him not to speak to any grown-ups,
so he's not speaking to anyone.
Breaks his leg.
Ambulance man.
Fuck off, man.
Stranger danger.
Where are you taking us, though?
No, nah, no.
Eva, bless him, this little kid.
Like a kid, I was like, Robin, that's our reet.
He asked us to go and follow him and play with him.
Round this off, Blake, that's fine.
Jeez.
Takes everything very literal though, like you.
He does, yeah, he's exactly the same as me.
Sorry about that.
He's five.
Sorry about that.
He's operating on a higher level than me to be fair, but yeah.
He does know how to pronounce thesaurus, though,
so he has got that on you.
I'll be asking him.
Now and then, something will happen in the news,
and all of our listeners, dear listeners out there,
will send us it.
You know, like when Boris Johnson stole our,
quite blatantly stole our catchphrase questions from the public,
everyone got in touch.
Now, this week, someone messaged us on Twitter,
and it just said that Paul Scholes sucking his daughter's toes
should be on your podcast.
Now, I'm not a huge football fan,
but obviously back in the day I was kind of a follower,
so I know exactly who Paul Scholes is.
He played for Man is Manchester Man United
and England ace
midfielder
I replied
my exact reply
on Twitter was
what
brackets
and I can't stress this enough
the actual fuck
I don't know if they replied
because I didn't see the reply
but I then
researched it myself
so there is a video
of Paul Scholes
biting his daughter's toenails for her.
Which I can understand why people thought
they'd want to hear our opinion on this.
Each to their own.
Do you know what?
It's his daughter, it's in his own house.
It's tricky, right?
Okay.
Do you know what?
It's a bit gross, okay?
Biting any toenails,
biting your own toenails
if you're that flexible is gross.
Biting your fingernails
is pretty gross
yeah
but right
we're looking at this
we
I love the boys
so so much
yeah
would I be
would I
bite their fingernails
when they
toenails when they're 20
I don't know
I might
I might
she's 20
right okay
so she's 20
this is new information
to me
okay I thought
she was a teenager
she's 20
she's 20
I just put it on
Instagram apparently
now
with
I'm trying to be careful
you know
I don't want to
like barrel in
like just go stood
but yeah
when it's your kid
who you love
then fair enough
but I mean
I love you
I'm not biting your toenails
something a bit
something a bit gross about it
you could clip my nails for her
you know
I don't
or was it
was it something was it a splinter that he for her was it something, was it a splinter
that he might not, you know
it could have been a splinter, she might have had
a bunion that he was
chewing off for her
we don't really know what he was doing
all I'll say is, if I did
and I caught
my kids filming us doing it
I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm doing this as a favour
he's going to be raging with her he must be raging I caught me kids filming us doing it. I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm doing this as a favour.
Yeah.
You're not fucking putting me on the internet.
He's going to be raging with her, isn't he? He must be raging.
Put your phone...
You just asked us...
What are you doing?
You just asked us to bite whatever I'm biting off your foot here.
And you filmed it.
Oh, you have ruined Sunday night nail chomping.
Love.
Don't think I'm doing this again.
That was...
Yeah, you ruined it.
You showed everyone.
That was our thing
yeah I'll be getting ribs next week
yeah
not this
oh god
speaking of
you're on ribs now
just the mere mention
of barbecue spare ribs
there's some in the fridge
makes me
there's some in the
they're not from the takeaway though
they're not as nice
they are nice
but
yeah
I just can't stop
I love barbecue spare ribs
okay so much right um my uh tour manager um when we drive our paul last night shout out paul one
of the best guys ever just just at being a guy he's just a lovely bloke so last night i've got
to tell you this actually i just remember when you mentioned ribs there he was eating some ribs
he got himself a wagon when was last night oh did he get ribs mentioned ribs there he was eating some ribs he got himself a Wagamama's last night
oh did he get ribs
he said to me
he got some ribs
and he said
yeah and he said
to me last night
I walked into the
dressing room
so I've got a tour
manager who does
all the tech stuff
then I've got Paul
who does the driving
and the tour manager
is called Rhys
and Paul's obviously
the driver
they're also the
tour managers
on our show
on ours as well
yeah
so he went
Paul went
look I better tell you
this before Rhys
tells you
and I was like
oh what the hell is this going to be and he went, Paul went, look, I better tell you this before Rhys tells you. And I was like, oh,
what the hell's this going to be?
And he went,
right,
I like edam beans.
So I got some edam beans.
I went,
do you mean edamame?
Edamame,
yeah.
He went,
yeah,
yeah,
them.
I went,
right.
He went,
yeah, so I got them
from Wagamama's
and I was sitting
and eating them
and Rhys said,
oh,
you got some edamame beans.
Do you like them?
And he went,
I do like them,
but they're really salty.
They're like a lot. There's a lot of salt on these. And Rhys went, oh, he doesn't eat them. Rhys said, oh, you got some edamame beans. Do you like them? And he went, I do like them, but they're really salty. They're like a lot,
there's a lot of salt on these.
And Rhys went,
Oh, he doesn't eat them.
Rhys went,
yeah, on the outside,
and he went,
what do you mean?
And he put the full pod in his mouth.
The hairy,
the hairy,
the hairy bean pod.
The hairy bean pod.
He put the full,
hairy,
and I went,
you ate one?
I went,
you put the full thing in?
And he went, I ate two. So he ate we are and I went you ate one I went you put the full thing in
and he ate two
and he went
I ate two
so he ate it
and I went
was it nice of him
it was horrible
I went why did you eat the second one
he went I don't know
oh no the husk
the husk
so instead of squeezing the bean out
he ate it
and then he went
I'll go in again
that must have been a dud
I'll go in again
and he went in again
oh no
but in his defence
there is a lot of different ways to eat
runner beans
and all that kind of stuff
how can you possibly
like them
how can you say
you like Edam beans
why do you call them
Edam
that's wrong
for a start
he's Welsh
he's a Welsh
countryside boy
is he just saying it
really fast
Edam Hammy
he's a Welsh
countryside boy
and I think
it's a bit of a
big city thing
for him to get some
you know
Deliveroo still blows
his mind
he can't believe it.
You know.
Have you seen it?
It comes at the door.
But yeah,
he wolfed down
a couple of edamame beans
in their,
in their,
in their container
and then realised,
yeah,
but yeah,
bless him.
Bless his little heart.
Bless his little heart.
So solid.
Horrible.
I mean,
yeah,
I mean,
craziness.
Absolute craziness.
I'll have to check in on him.
Hope he's alright.
He might have a little heart attack.

I did it on tour
and it really upset us
you've done this

yeah
it's awful
it sends me
into a panic
I don't like it
yeah but it's because
you don't like being late for stuff.
You're really weird.
You like to be weirdly early for stuff.
But also, I was speaking to Carl about this the other day,
Carl Hutchinson.
Have we talked about the fact that once,
when we were leaving the house,
when we only just had Robin,
so life wasn't even as hectic as it is,
we were leaving the house once,
and I said, I need to go to the toilet.
And you went, oh, can you just go later?
And I had to hold a shit in all day,
because you couldn't be asked for me to go to the toilet.
Was it a shit, was it?
One of the worst days of my life.
I was out of here to go for a shit.
You were like,
oh God, you have to.
And I'm like,
that's kind of the way
the body works.
Like, aye.
There's me walking around
all day turtling.
I had skid marks
when I got home.
Oh, Christ.
Gutted.
I didn't really,
but yeah,
I had a bad tummy.
It must have been,
what was so important?
Because I wouldn't do that normally.
You do.
You're like,
oh, do you have to?
Oh, no.
No, come on. You did. No, you're painting a horrible picture here Because I wouldn't do that normally. You do. You're like, oh, do I have to? Oh, no. No, come on.
You did.
No, you're painting a horrible picture here.
I wouldn't make you hold in a poo.
I am telling you, you did.
Chris, I wouldn't.
You 100%.
Can anyone...
If I mention it on the podcast...
I must have mentioned it when it happened in the past
or when we were doing the podcast at the time.
But I remember it because Carl was talking about it the other day.
Oh, so Carl knows about it?
The whole world knows about it now.
I've told them all.
But yeah.
This has never happened.
Yeah. Because Carl's got a baby now, so he's them all. But yeah. This has never happened. Yeah.
Because Carl's got a baby now,
so he's experiencing...
Well, we must have been late,
really late for something.
Yeah.
I wouldn't ask you to hold in a pill.
I am 100...
I'm telling you,
I had to hold that shit in all day.
It was one of the worst days of my life.
Well, why couldn't...
No, surely when we got to the place,
it would have had a toilet.
I don't poo outside.
Oh, well, that's your own fucking fault.
Oh, great.
Outside.
Outside of my house.
Well, that's your fault.
Well, no, because, you know, folks like I would have just gone, all right, well, it's a five-minute journey. poo outside oh well that's your own fucking fault outside outside of my house well that's your fault well no because you
know folks like I
would have just gone
alright well it's a
five minute journey
folks do you prefer
it yourself as folks
have you been reading
that thesis
gobbling it up mate
I would have just
went whenever
I don't have a problem
pooing anyway
listen this is all
par for the course
right because let's
get on to my beef
because my beef is
very important this
week this is one of the most angry i've been with you for a very
long time and it was almost no i want to guess i broached it with you slightly and you kind of
thingied off i don't want you to ruin it for the listener right um i was so angry
they're on the edge of the seats chris it was also they are honestly i tell you tell you what
hey acas stick an ad in now right come back stick that in
here they'll they'll be hanging about i'm telling you no one will be skipping that um listen what
i'm saying is right so we've talked about it in the past right um i have to stand uh and wait
for what feels like an eternity for my dinner while you're doing a photo shoot with it
right so first of all first of all no no no don't kick off right one i'm very aware that i'm extremely
lucky that you make incredible meals for me you do you cook and you make incredible meals i'm so
lucky to have you know in the you know to use the 1950s phrase to have me dinner on the table when
i get in kind of thing right yeah oh i'm gonna be kicking around the house all day now listen right
dinner on the table when I get in
kind of thing right
yeah
oh I'm normally
kicking around the
house all day
now listen right
hello fresh
right
you know they're
gonna have a free
plug here
because I do love it
and it's like
restaurant quality food
and I've never
tasted anything like
it in the house
it's incredible
right
now when you make
a hello fresh
you have to take
a million and one
photos of it
so you get it
and you put it on
the plate
and you're taking
loads of photos
and you're fanning on
and I stand
and I go
oh my fucking god this is torture and I smell it and I can see it but I'm not and you put it on the plate and you're taking loads of photos and you're fanning on and I stand and I go oh my fucking god
this is torture
and I smell it
and I can see it
but I'm not allowed to touch it
because I'll spoil the fucking
the mise-en-scene of the food
right
so
mise-en-scene
thesaurus it
so
like the makeup
like the
the way you've said
all that
never heard of that in my life
it's film studies thing
it's everything that's in the frame
brilliant education she's just having to go out there now so what i started doing is when
you're making a hello fresh i can't be in the room because i i literally have to wait until
you're like it's ready so i'll come in and just get whatever you want i know you've finished your
you did this the other night yeah oh no you've just realized what it is it was not sad not sad i'll tell you
hold your hold your water right listen to this right so guys what she does is right she'll put
the hello fresh on the plate and she puts on she puts it sets it all out lovely right um what i
would call a normal human portion right then what happens is you then re-portion up my big fat
pig portion because i eat like an animal i get it for three yeah but robin obviously doesn't eat
yeah full your mom's here half the week yeah so sometimes she has yeah so i always get it for
three but then sometimes robin's in bed so there is a little bit more yeah you know so what happens
is rosie takes a photo of the portion and then she goes back into the pan and gets out my extra stuff.
Big fat pig portion.
Now what she does guys,
the stuff on the plate,
sort of,
it was like a mince kind of thing.
It was amazing.
Like a keema curry thing.
It was incredible, right?
It was lovely.
So the stuff on the plate
is sitting there.
The outside cools down
but the inside is still molten hot.
What you did was,
I worked out straight away.
You went back to the pan
and you scooped what was left
out the sides of the pan which had cooled down really quick because
it's a smaller amount and you honked it on the top i then got a naan bread and i sat there and i got
my fork and i took a little mouthful off the top and it was the perfect eating temperature and i
went oh my god this is perfect eating temperature so i dug my fork right in not knowing that the
top had been booby trapped at perfect temperature i dug for it right and i piled it on the nan bread i hide the nan bread in my mouth the top of my mouth fucking incinerated
hottest thing i've ever had in my life rosie i couldn't drink hot drinks for two days i've only
just i've had a coffee this morning it's the first coffee that didn't hurt for two days and i'm
furious with you wow right but also great yeah i know that i know that i've got no right to be
furious with you you booby trapped it
you put
normal temperature
food on the top
and I dove right in
it's like in prison
when they put
razor blades
in someone's sandwich
you're a pig
Chris
you're a pig
you eat like a pig
you look like a pig
you smell like a pig
no
what
like I'm not
why barrel straight in
because I'm hungry
because I want to wait
45 minutes
I want to wait 45 minutes while you do a frigging photo shoot with it, man.
You're a pig.
Anyone else would have realised it was hot.
You burn your mouth on food all the time.
So I'm sorry, your beef isn't with me.
Your beef is with yourself.
That's why I'm angry, because it's kind of with me as well.
Sort it out.
It's not my fault that it wasn't.
You could have mixed it round.
Take your time.
Do a little tongue test you know
do you want to use
Rafe's little spoon
that's got the temperature
on it
You want to change his colour?
There was genuinely
one of them
I got scented ages ago
Stupid invention
Ridiculous
Stupid invention
because you don't know
until you've took it off
the spoon
You don't know
that it's too hot
until you've took it off
the spoon
so you stick the spoon in
and the bit with the hot food on
goes white but you don't see that it's white until Until you've dropped the spoon So you stick the spoon in And the bit with the hot food on Goes white
But you don't see that it's white
Until you take a mouthful and go
Oh Christ
No this has got a little
At the moment I gauge on it
Alright okay
I thought it was just the ones I'd changed
It sounds a bit ridiculous
Okay
But listen
Stop getting off topic
Stop booby trapping me food
Sick of it
Mate
Carry on this way
And I'll not be making you any
Flipping food
Is that a promise
Wow
Is that a promise
Rosie
I can't face that level of danger anymore in my culinary life.
Right, so on tonight, you're on your own, Ramsay.
Tomorrow.
No.
No, because it's got a nice one tonight.
I know, I've got the Asian pork.
Yeah.
No, nah, nah, nah.
Yeah, noodles.
No, no, no, it's not a one.
No, no, no.
Honestly, you and your little mouth, you better look after yourself.
Some ice cream in the freezer, okay?
Good, good. Okay? Good.
You have that.
Will it all be cold?
Or will the inside be fucking boiling hot?
Fuck off.
Danger.

yeah
hi Rosie and Chris
I've been listening
to episode 138
when Chris told
the story of
getting into a
stranger's car
to order a
McDonald's drive
through following
an awards night
and I felt
compelled to tell you both that at the age of 41,
I have never eaten a Big Mac before.
Wow.
And no, I'm not a vegetarian.
I was for around five years of my life, but no more.
This is also despite liking all of the individual components of a Big Mac.
It's not because it has anything in it I wouldn't enjoy.
It's just never appealed to me.
Is this my mum? That doesn't make any sense. That is your mum.
Is this my mum, Rowan? That makes no sense at all.
I'm now so proud never to have eaten a Big Mac
before. Proud? That is my plan
in life to never have one.
Okay, well, I'm going to track you down via your email
and I'm going to tie you up and I'm going to force you to eat a Big Mac
and I'll go to prison, but it'll be worth it.
She's called Heidi from Nottingham and honestly, Heidi,
more fool you wow
more fool you
so it's got to the point now
where she just won't have one
just for the class
yeah she's got the point
where she's like
it's a thing
yeah
obviously got absolutely
no hobbies
I kind of get it
wow having a right go
I kind of do get it
in a way because
when someone bangs on
about a TV show
too much to me
it puts us off it
so Big Mac is all
I mean it's in your face
it's like
Big Mac is like written into where it's written into the fabric of where popular culture
so it is literally a huge huge thing so i do kind of understand it but at the same time i mean
they're missing out i'm not even gonna tell you hard lines bigger fool you more more big mac for
us yeah i'm like that with tattoos. Right.
So I've never had a tattoo.
Yeah.
And now I'm at the stage where I'm like,
I can't ever get one because... 35-year-old mums.
I've never had one.
35-year-old mums don't get tattoos.
Some of them do.
Unless maybe you get divorced
and it all goes downhill.
Unless someone's died.
It's usually the case, isn't it?
No.
A death or a divorce.
Yeah, but you don't...
People die in your life.
You don't then just get to the stage
where you go,
well, this one person, now that's died, I'll get their name on us. No, you usually don't, people die in your life. You don't then just get to the stage where you go, oh, well, this one person now that's died,
I'll get their name on us.
No, you usually do.
If you're a bit older,
that's usually the reason.
You've gone your whole life
without a tattoo, right?
Right.
And you get one
out of nowhere.
It's usually because
someone's died
or you're having
a bit of a breakdown.
Yeah, midlife crisis
is when people get them.
Oh, what will I get?
I always find that
such a strange sentence
when people go
i'm gonna get a tattoo but i don't know what to get you go i think you should hold off then
that's that's do you know i mean like oh i'm gonna get something to eat but i don't know i want you
might not be hungry yet then like you might not get a tattoo yet it's it's weird like it's a big
decision that's why i've never got one before because i'm so indecisive i just think i'll get
it and i'll change the line when i left yeah And all it would take was for one person to go, oh,
and you go, oh, shit.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Yeah, no chance. No chance.
Hi, Rosie and Chris.
I had to get in touch after listening to episode
138, where Rosie
said she had stopped swimming when she
started her period. Oh, okay, yeah.
Can I just say a shout out to so many blokes on Twitter
who went, yeah, we thought Jaws as well.
We're also stupid men.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so many tweets I got saying,
I'm also a stupid man
because I immediately pictured Jaws as well.
I just know,
I know what my mind's like
and I know that a lot of stupid men
are as stupid as me.
Great.
I can't wait to sit down with our lads
and just tell them all about periods.
They're going to be the best husbands ever.
Yeah.
They are, you know.
I'm going to have them, they're going to know everything. Discharge, periods. They're going to be the best husbands ever. I'm going to have them.
They're going to know everything. Discharge.
Periods. Please be. Boobs.
Not even out of the room. Can I be
out of the country when this happens, please?
Can I be in a different time zone? I know you're doing it
together. No. I'm going to have a flip chart.
No chance. I'm going to have pictures. No chance.
The lot. I'll be gone. The lot. No chance.
I had
a right May for my first ever period.
Right, okay.
I was 15 and with my friend at her dad's house during the summer holidays.
Oh no.
He had planned a full itinerary for us during our stay and on this particular day was swimming.
Right.
So you can imagine my horror when I woke up that morning
to find I'd started my first ever period.
Oh, no older woman there,
just at the dad's house.
Just the dad's house.
That is a nightmare.
I know.
I was too scared to back out
because I didn't want to have to explain
to my friend's dad
why I didn't want to go swimming.
Oh, she could have just said she wasn't well.
Well, you don't think of that, I don't know.
Okay.
And here's the fun part.
Putting a tampon in for the first time,
because as you said, Rosie, you can't swim with a pad,
so I didn't know how high a tampon had to be put in.
Oh, crikey.
So bless my young, naive little heart,
I put it literally just inside.
Oh, no.
Sorry to anyone who has experienced this horrible feeling
and is now getting traumatising flashbacks of that feeling.
I, Chris, you don't know this, right?
But there is no other horrific feeling in the world
than a half-put-in tampon.
It is torture.
Look at what you've faced with that for.
I've got no frame of reference.
It's absolute torture.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
It's not in properly
and it's kind of,
sometimes if you go to the toilet,
so you can put one in fresh
and you go to the toilet
and you think,
I don't want to have to change it.
But the wee will sometimes
make the tampon a bit bigger
and it'll soak up
and it'll half come out
and you're kind of like,
this is so uncomfortable.
So you have to change it.
Is it as uncomfortable
as this conversation?
Or is it more?
Maybe.
Okay,
I feel your pain then.
I've like, if I was a tortoise now all limbs and head would be in michelle i've i've completely i've you look very uncomfortable
i've never folded my arms this tightly i've disappeared inside i want to take a picture of
you look at this is the tampon chat um she said here though she's thinking of everyone getting that traumatizing feeling but
i win because i then had to swim in it swim with it in even it was horrendous every time i went
down the water slide i was manically checking around to make sure a tampon hadn't shot out
and was floating around the pool i got through the ordeal tampon still intact safe to stay that
day is burnt in my memory mother nature pulled a right blind around me that day thanks for reading guys of the podcast and that's from kim oh bless you well again you
know i hold my hands up i know i joke and i say daft daft things about women being discussed i'm
obviously joking just to try and get a rise out of you the stuff you go through
you've got a round of applause from me every woman out there childbirth period the lot like literally from a young teenager just like by the way this is going to happen every month i've got a round of applause from me every woman out there childbirth period the lot like
literally from a young teenager just like by the way this is gonna happen every month i've got a
routine about it in my show and i know that sounds really strange but i can't yeah i can't really go
too much into it without giving something away but i do weirdly talk about periods in my show but i'm
you know i deliberately take a daft stance on it but this time next week i'll have seen your show
yeah you're gonna see me stand up show yeah
newcastle arena saturday night still some tickets if someone wants to go but literally
little tiny handfuls pockets of tickets and some resales if anyone fancies it
hey chris and rosie as parents i thought you'd find this story funny and i hope you laugh as
much as i have over the past four years although i totally cringed when it happened so let me take you back now y'all i'm doing the school run my stepdaughter is three and a half
and she's at preschool i dropped her off on monday morning no problems and got on with my day
thinking about how lovely the weekend had been and how good did i always am that monday's come
around so darn fast okay i finish work and go to collect her from preschool to be met with her
nursery nurse
who asks if I can come in
and have a word with her.
Here I am thinking
another bummed head note.
She's been told off today.
She's not eating her lunch,
et cetera, et cetera.
All the things
that nursery nurses think
need to be private conversations
when all you're doing
in reality
is sitting on a chair
ten times too small for you
with your knees up your ears
getting bollocked
by a preschool teacher
for sending your child
to school with a chocolate spread sandwich,
God forbid.
Okay.
I think she's a bit bitter about that.
A bit angry, yeah.
Anyway, thank goodness the teacher took me inside onto a said small chair
because I think she possibly saved me from the most humiliating moment of my life
from all the other mothers on the school run.
I was asked what I'd done over the weekend
and what my stepdaughter had been doing
with a very concerned look on her face.
Right.
I was perplexed.
We'd literally had the most lazy weekend.
We'd spent all weekend relaxing and watching films.
Although I had to nip into town, Nottingham,
at one point to take some clothes back on the Sunday,
I explained this and said whilst I'd taken some clothes back,
my stepdaughter and her dad
had gone for some lunch together.
The nursery nurse then sat down
and after a very long pause and huff,
asked me why my stepdaughter
had been telling all the staff
and classmates that she'd been to
the Pussy Club with Daddy.
And that Daddy
had now become a member
of the Pussy Club. The Pussy Club? Like a strip club? What?
The pussy club?
Like a strip club?
Is that what he took her for dinner?
It says in brackets.
I mean, the kid could be psychic, as it turns out her dad couldn't keep his dick in his pants for shit.
But on with the story, okay? Wow.
I was in shock.
As you could possibly guess, the pussy club.
Then it dawned on me.
When her dad had taken her for lunch,
he'd taken her to the new exciting cafe in town,
the Kitty Cafe.
The fucking Kitty Cafe.
It's literally a cafe full of cats that walk around
whilst you're having your cuppa and jack potato.
My stepdaughter had the time of her life and she loved it wow yeah that's great that's great yeah the pussy club wow did you
enjoy that i did it was really funny yeah i mean i get cat cafes don't get it what do you mean don't
get it why them cafes where the cats just walk around everywhere I'm alright okay I'm alright for it
why is that
I mean I've been
to people's houses
who've got cats
and you get the odd
hair in a cup
I'm alright for going
to a place where
there's exclusively
loads of cats
they can get away
with it there
imagine taking your
coffee back
there's a cat at home
sorry sir
you knew when you
joined the pussy club
the pussy club
is full of cats
the first word of the pussy club is you don't complain about hairs in your tea at the pussy club. The pussy club is full of cats. The first rule of the pussy club is
you don't complain about hairs in your tea at the pussy club.
And the second rule of the pussy club is
don't keep your dick in your pants.
No, the thing is, you know that I'm not a massive cat lover.
I don't mind them.
I just don't want one personally.
I would rather go to the strip club.
I'd rather have my dinner at the real pussy club
than the kitty cat cafe
do you rather have a human pubic hair in your cup of tea
than a cat hair
why you gotta bring the hairs into it
I don't think the strip has a cat hair
depends what you're up for
depends where it is
I've got sections
can you not go to different sections
can you not go I want to sit here for the hairy people
and I want to sit over there for the shaved people I don't know i've never been to one i've been
twice to strip clubs yeah not a fan didn't enjoy it didn't know where to look no no i don't think
i've ever been have i been to one i didn't think me and my friend sarah went to one in grand canaria
and we had a nice glass of wine but it wasn't very busy i imagine that glass of wine was
piss water and i imagine your palates changed slightly is it i bet it wasn't very busy. I imagine that glass of wine was piss water, and I imagine your palate's changed slightly.
Is it?
I bet it wasn't a nice glass of wine.
But there's some nice strip,
there's some posh strip clubs, isn't there?
Yeah.
Maybe.
Okay, I don't know.
Don't know much about them.
Don't know.
They grow up.
Hi, Rosie and Chris.
I am a newly qualified midwife working in Surrey.
Myself and my best friend, a fellow midwife,
were reminiscing about our stories from work and thought you would appreciate this one.
One day I was working on a busy postnatal ward and couldn't find our team of doctors.
I asked another midwife where they were and was met with a surprising response.
I was informed the doctors had rushed to A&E to see a woman in a lot of pain. To my horror,
I was told how a squirrel
had run up the bottom of her flare trousers
and attached itself to her clitoris.
Sorry. Sorry.
The delay was due to the wait for the vet to come out
and shoot the squirrel.
Fuck off. There's no way this is true.
There is no...
Most men can't find the clitoris in the bedroom.
You're telling me the squirrel found one on the fly.
Heff the squirrel.
Who's shooting?
Who's shooting a squirrel?
Just pull it off.
All right, so...
At this point, a crowd of staff had gathered in shock,
including a rather pale-looking paediatrician. It wasn't until a crowd of staff had gathered in shock, including a rather pale-looking pediatrician.
It wasn't until a couple of hours afterwards
and a confusing conversation with said team of doctors
I realised this was a joke.
There we go.
As I'm sure my colleagues will agree,
working for the NHS makes you develop a dark sense of humour.
Therefore, we're not easily surprised.
However, the legend of the squirrel and the clitoris remains alive
and continues to shock our new midwives and doctors each year.
Someone's coming out to shoot the squirrel.
So that must be what they do, though.
Yeah.
So this is the interesting part.
So if you are a new midwife or doctor or nurse or whatever
working in that hospital and you can't find the doctors,
they're like, oh, a squirrel's come in and bitten off the clitoris. There's probably a different one in that hospital and you can't find the doctors they're like oh a squirrel's come in
and bitten off the clitoris
there's probably a different one
in each hospital
do you think
yeah there's probably
a different bullshit story
that they're saying
yeah
love that
you know what
in a job like that
you've got to keep your spirits high
and stuff like that
that's great
am I slightly gutted
that that wasn't a true story
I am
yes
actually I'm more disappointed
than I am
I'm really irritated actually
do you not think it could happen
no I don't think so
it would happen
in a film wouldn't it
yeah it would happen
it's got Ben Stiller
I was just about to say
it's got Ben Stiller
written all over it
oh my god
yeah yeah
Ben Stiller
Adam Sandler
yeah yeah yeah
100% squirrel runs up
yeah great
bites of clitoris
oh there we go
squirrel on me clit
which is weird because I normally go for nuts.
End of scene.
Honestly, look at you.
Let's write the script.
Look at you.
Let's write the script.
Should we?
Yeah.
What are we going to call it?
Deez Nuts.
Deez Nuts?
Deez Nuts.
Well, like these, but Deez.
Deez Nuts.
No, I don't like it.
Okay, let's workshop it.
What about Detective Squirrel?
Jesus.
Why Detective Squirrel?
I don't know.
What can we call it?
Clit-a-nuts?
Hidden clits?
No, no no this is bad
squits
no
squits means you got the shit
oh we could call it
there's something about Mary
clitoris it's got a squirrel on it
quick Mary's clitoris it's got a squirrel on it quick a-up
