Hi, Smiles and Daz. Just to let you you know we recorded this podcast earlier in the week before we heard the tragic news of the Queen's death had been announced.
Yeah, so we're sitting now, the night before the podcast gets released, just doing this little note because it sort of seemed we had not to mention it, didn't it?
Obviously, incredible monarch, incredible life. We send our loving thoughts out to everyone saddened and affected by the news of her death.
We hope you're all okay.
Rest in peace, Mum.
Yeah, rest in peace indeed.
What a longest reigning British monarch.
Incredible.
Absolutely fantastic.
Rest in peace.

he was a nightmare he's a pain in the arse. I know he was.
He used to kick off
in the middle of B&M bargains
and I had to carry him out
over my shoulder
but he was cute
and I missed that stage.
Yeah.
And we'll never get it back again.
It's mental.
Chris, it's mental.
Can we talk about
how much of a hooligan
Rafe is, please?
Our one and a half year old
this morning,
I went to give him
some rice krispies
and he just fucking
booted them out of my hand
and they went all over the floor
and he caught us off guard.
I was embarrassed because I was still half asleep. I was still half asleep. I was a bit tired. He caught uspies and he just fucking booted them out of my hand and they went all over the floor and he caught us off guard. I was embarrassed
because I was still half asleep.
I was still half asleep.
I was a bit tired.
He caught us off balance
and he just hit the ball
and the full lot went on the floor.
I was embarrassed for you.
Oh,
I don't know where to put myself.
He did for 10 minutes
after he just kept pointing at it.
I was like,
you did that dickhead.
Pointing at it like,
he doesn't speak yet,
the lazy little bastard that he is.
He just goes,
ugh,
ugh,
ugh.
Oh God.
Anyway,
look,
yes,
like Rosie said
we hope you all
had a lovely summer holiday
hope your kids are back at school
safe and sound
hope everyone's relaxed
and having a nice little time out there
it is episode 184
wow
184
and without further ado
it's time for this week's lucrative
lucrative sponsor
can't wait
this week's sponsor is
people who cross the road
as you're driving towards them
then realise that you're there
and step back on
and get a fright
and step back onto the pavement
and then look at you
like your car
shouldn't have been
on the fucking road
in the first place.
Yeah.
The audacity.
Why is that car
on the road?
I was going to just
fucking jaywalk.
Yeah.
Pricks.
Sick of it.
I'm so chagged about that.
I'll tell you right now.
Yeah.
They'll not drive. Right.
We'd had that yesterday, didn't we? Yeah.
There was a woman standing. People who can drive are
really good at crossing the road. People who can't
drive are not as good at crossing the
road. Well, fuck them. Fuck them.
But no, then again, no, I don't think it's that. I think you're
wrong. I think if walking is
your thing, if you don't drive and you're a professional
walker, then you should be good at walking everywhere.
Yeah. Sick of it. Do you know what I mean? the ones where you drive not and they go to step out when
you like put your brakes on and they step out and they look as if to go oh oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah
yeah how dare your car be here because it's a fucking road yeah they do it in car parks is the
worst people don't seem to realize that cars need to drive down the middle of the car parks
like them car parks that have got that blue or whatever coloured path.
They're really good. They're amazing. They are a godsend.
Because otherwise, it's a fucking free-for-all.
Trolleys and people just walking around,
kids running out. It's a car.
Car! Car!
I cannot control a trolley.
No. I really struggle.
I don't think I've got any up-ass body
strength. I don't know how
they managed to make them so shit. I don't know how they managed To make them so shit
I don't know how they made
Them so shit
Is it because all of the wheels
Can turn around 360 degrees
I think it's since
I think it's since right
You know since now
That they've got them
In the go up escalators
And that
Right
They're a bit ridiculous now
What do you mean
Well because back in the day
Right
There wasn't any escalators
In supermarkets
Right
Yeah
And what's
And so trolleys were just
Sort of like A bit more sturdy.
I don't know.
Now they've got their magnet things on.
Their magnet things.
Aren't they to stop you from nicking them?
Aren't they like if you...
No, they're to go up the escalators.
No, they're not.
I'm sure they...
No, they're not the magnet things.
The wheels to go up the escalators,
that's the little rubber skinny bits of the wheels
that are clipping the escalator.
But the big grey thing that you're talking about...
They don't clip in the escalator. They the big grey thing that you're talking about.
They're not clipping the escalator.
They're magnetic.
They're not magnetic.
They go into the grooves, you fucking nutter.
Oh, do they?
Why would they be magnetic?
Because I thought when you were on there.
Are you talking about the big grey box on the wheels?
Yeah.
The big grey box on the wheels.
Do they go in the grooves?
I'm sure they lock it if you take it out of the car park.
If you try and knock it.
Nick it.
I'm sure they lock the wheels.
Oh, I don't know.
I thought they were.
You've done that thing
where you've made us doubt myself now
I normally get a tweet
I normally get a tweet
going
Chris Ramsey made a dick of himself
I work for the
the company that puts the magnets on them
this is what the escalator
your wife was right
I thought there were magnets
that when you go on the escalator
they go
like that
but no
I thought
I thought they just went in the grooves
well I don't know
the answer to this
and you see saying escalator.
Are we talking about travelator?
Are we talking about the vertical...
Not vertical.
So, yes, the travelator.
Yeah, the ascending travelator.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
But all I'm saying is...
Right.
Right.
Back in the day,
I don't remember trolleys being this out of control.
Right.
When you're going back to the car,
if you've done a full shop and you go back to the car,
I'm, like, veering off into the road
because I can't keep my trolley straight.
Well, you've got the fucking problem then. Get out of the road. It's a car park. But I can't keep my trolley straight. Well, you've got a problem then.
Get out of the road.
It's a car park.
But I can't keep
the trolley straight.
Don't care.
Don't care.
Stand on the other side of it.
Pull it.
Do anything.
Walk slower.
It would probably be better
to pull it.
Walk slower.
No, I haven't got the strength, man.
It's even worse when you're pregnant.
Like, when you're pregnant,
try and have the strength
to push a trolley.
Not good.
I wouldn't advise it.
Why are you talking about stuff
I can't have an opinion on?
Because I'm better than you. Why are you cutting me off I can't have an opinion on? Why are you... Because I'm better than you.
Why are you cutting me off?
Tell you what,
if you think trolleys are hard,
wicks are B and Q.
Try the big ones
that you can put plasterboard on.
Yeah, oh no.
Fucking garden centre trolley,
forget about it.
Give up using them.
Kidneys.
Give up using them years ago.
Kidneys.
How old are we?
Are we 85 years old?
I just feel like
we're at an age now
where we just complain about
stuff. Trollies. Just trollies and that
just like, oh, back in the day.
Boring twats. I know, I'm going to ask me mum
if it was easier years ago than it is
now. I'm not going to ring that. Well, yeah,
please don't and just remind us when you're going to, give us some
heads up when you are going to ask her that so I can leave
the room because I don't want to be.

Hello and welcome back to this week's episode of Shagged, Married, the Kids are Back at School and All.
Yes, let's try not to bang on about that too much I think, but yeah, it's very, very, I just thought I'd want to talk about, who am I kidding?
Oh God, dropped them off this morning. Bye! See you in a few hours, someone else's fucking problem!
So my card recently has been declined.
Right. Well, you know this i'm not just telling i'm not telling you for the first time yeah i'm telling the listeners for the first time um so
i'm five days without a debit card i've done yeah i'm aware of the scam you're running on me yeah
but well this is what i want everyone to know it's actually brilliant because i've just been
now using your card and then very convenient finally
bought a garden furniture yeah yeah yeah yeah listen to this everyone right out of your bank
about buying garden furniture is it not
i think we've done this i don't know
i don't know i don't fucking know but sorry sorry'll rephrase. She's been fucking having a whinge, right?
Shall I buy garden furniture?
Shall I not?
What colour?
What if someone drops an ice cream on it?
Does it have a cover?
Oh, you've got to put the cushions in the house.
Oh, buy a box.
Really upset.
I don't like the box.
It's fucking ridiculous, right?
You've been literally back and forth about buying them.
Since about March.
Since literally about March, everyone, right?
The minute I fucking card,
the minute she has to get her card blocked, right? The minute I fucking card, the minute,
the minute you have to get
a card blocked, right?
Because of some
spurious website
I've just been buying bollocks on.
The minute you get it blocked,
Chris can have your card.
I've decided I want to
definitely get some garden furniture.
Magically,
magically,
the stars align
and you find your favourite
fucking garden furniture
as soon as you can't use
your account to buy it.
You snake. Right, everyone listening, if you have also been undecided about garden furniture. As soon as you can't use your account to buy it, you snake.
Right, everyone listening,
if you have also been undecided about garden furniture,
get it now.
It's half price.
It's all half price.
I hate it when they do that.
Yeah.
Shit bags.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
I'll sit on me hands all summer, shall I?
Eh?
Seasonal stuff.
And then September, I'll get it.
Yeah.
But it's a good idea, though.
It is.
Yeah, I suppose.
It's like people who buy
Christmas cards
in January
hate them
hate them people
but actually
at the same time
you know
I mean I've talked
about this before
I hate people
who book their haircut
their next haircut
on the way out
because I'm just jealous
I'm just jealous
of how sort of
organised they are
but yeah
people who
like I've said before
my mum's
my mum's got a friend
who goes and gets all of next year's Christmas presents
in the box in Deer Seal.
Oh.
Mad.
Like, what the fuck?
Oh, I...
Like, what the actual...
Actually, no.
That just turns it into some kind of production line.
Yeah.
Like, where's the joy?
Where's going out?
You know, I mean, every year you hear they put
those Christmas songs on in the shops in October.
All right, man, we get it, right?
Yes, they're trying to make us all spend money.
But there is something nice about going out in the shops
when it's getting a bit Christmasy.
When you're thinking about who you're buying for.
Oh, who would like this and all.
Not like, right, box and day.
Get them all in, loft them.
Next year, get them out, wrap them under the tree.
Day after, box and day.
Get them in, lock.
Repeat until we die.
That is sad.
I don't like that.
Repeat until we die.
But, okay, just to stick up for this person.
I don't know who it is, by the way.
You'll have to tell us after.
They're carefree.
Oh, yeah.
They are.
They're enjoying Christmas.
They lead up to Christmas.
Pissing themselves. They're enjoying themselves. They're going out for afternoon drinks. Oh, yeah. They are. They're enjoying Christmas. The lead up to Christmas. Pissing themselves.
They're enjoying themselves.
They're going out for afternoon drinks.
Oh, yeah.
You know, Friday afternoon.
They're not at the shops buying shit for people who they don't give a fuck about.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I suppose like. So, hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There is that.
I mean, I'm getting drunk on Boxing Day.
Yeah.
There is no Boxing Day sales for me.
We're at my Nana's house
you're mad if you go and shop again on them days
I get that everyone wants to save a bit of money
especially now but
I just can't put up with it
I know what you mean
it's never been top of my agenda to buy next year's Christmas presents
just after someone's opened them
seasonal stuff's weird
the way people sell stuff like the garden furniture being half price and stuff now.
Did I ever tell you,
I was doing a gig in Norwich years ago,
my first ever tour,
my first ever tour show
of my first ever tour
was at Norwich Playhouse
on my Offamation tour.
And I stayed in like a Holiday Inn
or something,
but it happened to have a pool.
Like it was one of these mad hotels
that had a pool.
I was like,
really?
Inside or outside?
God, inside.
Jesus, Norwich.
England.
And I went across to the Asda.
So this must have been 2012.
Right.
I went across to the Asda.
Gosh, we weren't even together then.
No.
Was it 2011?
Might have been 2011.
Oh, yeah.
Shit, it was 2011.
Right.
2011.
Autumn 2011.
So we're talking October, November.
I went into the Asda
and I said,
do you sell swimming swimming shorts and they looked
as it was a fucking lunatic yeah because it was because it was autumn yeah like just like the
rules are just oh no no you can't buy I mean I think you can now but then it was just like no
chance I think you can now but only because people are going a little bit further afar on the holidays
like yeah since you know people more people are going to dubai and places
like that where where it is winter sun winter sun technical terms back in the day yeah rich people
went on holiday in november do you remember if somebody at school probably not no it like i
honestly don't think anybody went on a winter sun holiday who i know when i was younger yeah but if
adults had who my mom might know and it would be like either going on holiday in november oh my god like on a cruise or something oh yeah
just crazy the other half lived i know oh god so yeah you're right actually yeah well didn't that
happen to me hang on this is even this isn't even that far back so when i worked in greece
i needed to buy all of my stuff, but obviously it was in like April,
March or April,
because I was going.
I went to me training at the end of April in Rhodes.
I couldn't get anything.
What do you mean?
I couldn't buy any bikinis,
couldn't buy anything because it was April.
So what did you do?
Is that why you used to get your tits out all the time?
You just didn't have a bikini?
No, I just had lush tits.
Just got them out all the time. I was actually a bit of an exhibitionist when I was just had lush tits. Just got them out
all the time.
I was actually a bit
of an exhibitionist
when I was younger.
Can you believe that?
Yes.
Yes, we can all
believe that.
We're all familiar
with your patter.
When I was a kid
in my school,
once, no one
could believe it,
went in the Bahamas
for Christmas.
What?
Came in January
with a tan.
From Shields? From Shields. Went in the Bahamas for Christmas. What? Came in January with a tan. From Shields? From Shields.
Went in the Bahamas for Christmas.
Tell you, January, we'll fucking braid him.
Why? Served him right.
I'm joking. God, don't say that.
It's a horrible thing to say. I'm joking, man. Imagine that.
What's that? A tan in January?
Come here, let us fucking...
Went in the Bahamas.
What's his mum and dad do?
Oh, I don't know.
Drug dealers. Robbers. The Bahamas? Yeah, yeah. What's his mum and dad do? Oh, I don't know. Offshore. Drug dealers.
Robbers.
The Bahamas.
Yeah, yeah.
I've never even been to the Bahamas.
I've never been to the Bahamas.
I don't know where it is.
I'll be honest with you.
I don't know where it is.
Hotter winter, so south.
Caribbean.
South bit.
Bottom bit of the egg.
Bottom half of the egg.
Something like that.
Have we spoke about the fact that you told me and it blew my mind that every other country in the
world is in the middle whatever country you're from when you look at the map of the globe or
whatever they're in the middle right now this is another thing that i don't want people to i don't
i'm hoping that i don't get proved wrong here because this is a fact i learned in geography
at school so i don't know if this is right or not.
But, and I've told you about it.
Yeah, blew my mind.
Well, I'm always quite confident about the facts I know
because normally 99 times out of 10, 100.
Oh, he started on a bad foot here.
99 times out of 10.
Anyone who had any confidence in what I was about to say
has just been fucking shattered.
Do you mean nine times out of ten or 99 times out of 100?
Both of them.
Okay, great.
I mean, most of the time, me facts are normally right.
One of the QI elves was very impressed with me Big Bang stuff.
But yeah, so if there's a map of the world in a British school,
your British Isles are in the middle.
Yes.
England's in the middle
and then America's off to the left
and then, you know,
Europe, Russia, Australia,
Australia, Japan are off to the right.
All right, stop naming countries,
trying to redeem yourself.
She's trying to fucking dig herself
out of that 99 out of 10 hole.
And yeah, so if you...
So say you are from...
America.
America.
From America.
And in American school, they've got the world atlas up on the wall. America. So you're from America and in American school
they've got the world atlas
up on the wall.
America will be in the middle
and Europe and that
will be off to the right
and then Australia
and that will be off to the left.
So whatever country
the world matters from,
that country's in the middle
because why would you
just have England in the middle?
Yeah, it makes complete sense
but I never knew that
and when you told me that,
I was like, wow.
Again, I am 99 times out of five.
I'm 99 times out of five that that's true.
But do you not remember
at one point in my life
when people from Australia said,
no, people from America
said they were going to Australia,
I'd be like, Jesus.
Yeah.
But actually,
they could just go the other way.
Yeah, but the Pacific's there, isn't it?
It's still pretty far.
I think it's closer. Yeah, I know it's there, isn't it? It's still pretty far. I think it's closer.
Yeah, I know it's still pretty far,
but obviously when you look at our map,
America to Australia is like crazy.
Oh, yeah, sorry, you're talking about the flat one.
Yes, the flat one,
but they can just nip around the other way.
Yeah, you thought they went the full way.
Yeah, I mean, you never know, they might.
Flight paths are fucking weird.
It's weird the way it works.
This school memory came to me this week.
In my geography class,
the geography teacher,
for some reason,
was talking about football.
So this is comp?
This is in the comp, yeah, yeah.
So we must have been 14, 13.
No, probably 12, actually.
It was four removed classes.
So we're 12 years old.
He's talking about football.
Obviously, it's South Shields.
Half of the class is Newcastle,
half the class is Sunland.
Yeah.
Apart from one lad
who supports Man United.
Glory supporter.
Glory supporter is what the teacher
said and he made a big thing of it saying you're a glory supporter and he just went at this lad
randomly he gave him a meter stick and he pulled the british isles map down and he went i bet you
can't even point where manchester is couldn't do it he got it wrong the fucking class went ballistic
he came in the next week went i know where it is now he got it wrong again fuck we honestly one of the best days at
school we have i was do you know what's so sad about that though like why why do you have to
just support the team where you're like let them yeah like totally let them like it's fine do you
know what i mean yeah but it was very funny and another another amazing thing that happened at
school i remember this yesterday when i was driving along someone on a podcast was talking
about the watches with calculators on remember you get a Casio watch with a tiny little calculator on
it's really cool I don't remember that I'm sure like Napoleon Dynamite wears one
okay I don't I remember Casio's but I don't remember the calculator one I would love that
I love to calculate my mate right in science once had a watch I think it had the calculator on but
it also could control the television
oh and the teacher brought the telly in and he put the video in and started playing it and my mate
with this little red button on the side of his watch could press standby and turn the telly off
fucking amazing loved it it was an hour of every couple of minutes he just turned the telly off and
the teacher couldn't work out what was going on he He turned it back on and turned it off again and we were at the back just like dying.
It was one of the best days of my life.
Was it? Really?
Yeah.
One of the best days of my life.
Do you know,
this has just sparked a little memory for me.
In my junior school,
like primary school, sorry,
I remember our headmaster, Mr. Newcomb,
used to come round
and I used to, honestly, I'd be buzzing,
like how sad is this? It was absolutely class. He'd come round and I used to, honestly, I'd be buzzing, like, how sad is this?
It was absolutely classic. He'd come round and be like,
right, calculator challenge, and he'd have a calculator.
And he just
would just do loads of numbers and add them
up and take them away, just like, practicing
the calculator. Sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry.
Like, like...
I've turned the piss out of you
many times for your education. I've claimed the piss out of you many times
for your education
I've claimed that
your school is
substandard to mine
and I'm obviously
always joking
but in my school
it used to be like
mental arithmetic
challenges
not
can you press
these buttons
you bunch of
fucking idiots
so he would come
the headmaster
because now I'm
like did that happen
yeah yeah
it did happen
so the headmaster's walking down the corridors
with a calculator in his pocket,
like some kind of Western, with a Halstead calculator.
He boots the door open.
He just randomly comes into a class
and goes, calculator challenge.
And everyone has to start keying in numbers.
Get your calculator.
So come on then, what would he say?
Well, just like, right.
So kind of, actually, you are practicing
because you'd be like 3,472.
So you'd have to know how to, like, do you know what I mean?
3, 7, 4, 2.
And how to type the numbers in.
You'd have to know how to do it.
And how was he checking?
Well, you just play along.
So you'd type it in.
And then he'd be like, divide it by 9.
So you'd go, divide by 9.
And he'd be like, what have you got?
And everyone would go, got this.
Wow.
And then he'd leave.
We'd do a few
be there for a good 10 minutes i'm round two all right one thousand two minus four hundred
why why are you ruining my happy memories bye sir yeah round of applause for the nutter with
a fucking calculator wow what a crazy crazy, simple little school you went to.
It was absolutely bloody lovely, do you know that?
And I only liked it because I didn't have to use my brain.
Right, yes.
And I'd be like, oh, I'm good at this.
Fucking get him.
And she's never used it since.
Calculators are mint.
Why do I bother?
Calculators are mint.
Scrap maths from the national curriculum.
Who gives a fuck?
Fractions, fuck off.
Ratios, fuck off.
Mean modem, all that shit.
Modem, yeah, modem, yeah.
Find the mean number or whatever.
Fuck off.
I hate maths.
You remember quite a bit of it, to be fair.
You remember quite a lot of it.
I used to be a teaching assistant, didn't I?
Yeah, yeah.
But I couldn't go in the big classes.
I was like, when I did supply, they were like,
where do you prefer to be?
I'd be like, reception, please.
One day I got put in year five.
I was like, I can't be in this class.
Year five!
I had lots of big classes!
Are you kidding me?
Fucking eight!
No, it was always in the junior school,
in the primary schools, but they used to put us in year five.
And then I was at this school for a while,
and I loved the school, and I was in year one, and they were like, there's a job coming up in year six. I was like, this school for a while and i loved the school i was in year
one and they were like there's a job coming up in year six i was like absolutely not i'll see you
later absolutely look i will not do full time in that class but if they want me to quickly pop in
and do a calculator challenge give me a call on this give me give me a call on this here mobile
phone mrs winter that's a calculator i'll later. Actually, you just reminded me there, right?
You know how I bought all them old books
for the library?
Yeah.
They weren't quite expensive,
but they're really interesting.
Rosie bought loads of
antique-y looking,
sort of retro, vintage looking books.
No, they're not looking.
They're genuinely off.
Okay, old smelly fucking books for shelves.
One of them's from bloody 1870, whatever.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, there's going to be
some incredibly out-of-date phrases and opinions for shelves. One of them's from bloody 1870 whatever. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean there's going to be some incredibly out of date
phrases and opinions
and ideas.
Well actually probably, yeah.
But it's really nice.
I've been looking at the front
of loads of them
and it's got messages like
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'll stop you right there.
Yeah.
You've been looking at
loads of the fronts of the books.
Sorry.
Have you been
have you been judging books
by their cover?
Is that what you've been is that what you've been doing?
Oh, jeez.
Is that what you've been doing?
Yeah, no.
I've been looking at the inside because there's nice messages.
What do you mean?
A lot of them are teachers buying kids books,
which I find a bit weird.
Written by people?
The messages inside?
No, yes, written by people.
Like, happy birthday, John. Yeah. written by people the messages inside no yes written by people like
happy birthday
John
yeah
love from
mother or something like that
it's back in the olden days
so they don't say ma'am
okay
do you know what I mean
there's loads of them
anyway
back to my story
yeah
there's one here
I can actually say it on the shelf
45 easy games
for infants and juniors
right
Oxford University Press
right
it's from
90 first printed in 1928, right?
Right.
It's loads of games for primary school.
Right.
All my friends are primary school teachers.
Right.
So a few weeks ago, we all went out for dinner.
Stephanie, Angela, Rebecca, and Sarah, right?
They're all primary school teachers.
I kept this book to the side and I was like,
I found this.
And I thought you could use it at the school.
Like if the kids wanted to do any of them.
At the time,
they were all like,
oh, that's really interesting.
Not one of them took it.
Not one of them took it.
Well, of course they didn't.
Because I imagine that their curriculum
isn't rooted in the 1920s.
Well, no, it's just games, isn't it?
It's probably very
un-PC. One of them's called We Won't Let You
Out. Brilliant. That sounds great.
That sounds like a fucking
Jordan
Peele film. Yeah.
Half the class should form a ring, hold hands
and stand fairly close together. The other
half should stand free inside the ring.
On the whistle,
those who are inside try to get out
and those forming the ring
try to keep them in.
After a second or two,
the game should be stopped
and those that have succeeded
in getting out
are counted.
Then the children
change places.
Fucking hell.
Let's have a look at this.
Let's have a quick look.
It's beat the letter in here.
That's what I want to know.
Beat the letter.
Do you remember beat the letter?
No.
Do you not remember beat the letter?
What was beat the letter? What? I've never talked, we've never talked about beat the want to know. Beat the letter. Do you remember Beat the Letter? No. Do you not remember Beat the Letter? What was Beat the Letter?
What? I've never talked, I don't, we've never talked
about Beat the Letter. Right. Beat the Letter.
So. This book smells
fucking disgusting. Of 1928.
Oh my god. So Beat the Letter, Chris.
Yeah. Back in, back in school
what would happen is, you'd have a
letter, a kid would be given a letter,
right? So it would be like P.
And what would happen is all the
other children had to beat you up until you shouted the letter so it's called beat the letter
and what does what does the letter mean what does it make nothing everyone has loads of people got
a letter and it makes a word oh possibly maybe i didn't i never knew that i just someone would
come near us and I go I've never heard of that
that's absolutely awful
so this is 45 easy games
this book for Infants and Juniors
I've gone right to 45 because I want to see
what they're really sort of
scraping the barrel with
because obviously by 45, I mean why 45 of them
what's going on
45, grinding coffee.
I'm just reading this now.
The children stand in their desks.
In?
In their desks, facing partners and holding both hands.
Then the teacher says,
one, they raise their arms nearest the front,
thus forming an arch.
And two, they turn under the arch and stand back to back.
Three, they raise their arms nearest the front again.
Brackets, not the same arm as the first time.
This is horrible.
Yeah.
You've lost us.
And at four,
they turn under the arch
to fit.
This is fucking crazy.
It's like a dance.
Ridiculous.
Horrible.
Shite.
I'm not surprised
I didn't take it, actually.
Yeah, no.
It's horrible.
It really smells.
I feel like I need a shower
after touching this book as well.
No gold in there.
No Rosie's Jotter this week either.
I forgot it. What? Why? I forgot it. I forgot to bring it. I'm really there. No Rosie's Jotter this week either. I forgot it.
What?
Why?
I forgot it.
I forgot to bring it.
I'm really sorry.
You start a new segment
and you do it for one week
and then you forget.
Yeah.
Ridiculous.
I'll find it.
I'll find it.
Found a great one
in this book for you
for children, Rose.
Right.
Game number six
out of 45.
The Man With The Gun
for infants and juniors.
Maybe in 28. Divide the class
into two equal parts.
One half get partners and stand anywhere
about the yard. Spread out as much as
possible, with both hands joined to
form trees. Right, so they're the
trees. The others fly or hop
about amongst the trees, pretending to be
birds. Then, the man with the
gun, brackets teacher, runs
out from behind a tree, making a big
noise. She sees how
many birds she can shoot, brackets touch,
before...
Before they can fly into
a tree for safety.
Two or more birds are allowed to fly into one
tree if necessary.
This can be repeated three or four times
before the trees
change places with the birds.
Well, what a day.
You could do that
without having to be
guns in that, couldn't you?
It's a take.
It's a take with
multiple bases.
It's the worst book in the world.
I'm probably going to burn that.
Did you used to play Blocker?
I did used to play Blocker.
Loved the game of Blocker.
How did that work again?
Blocker was essentially
you had a base
and you counted everyone went ahead and then you counted but instead of like basically going and
finding them you had to just see them and yeah so you had to walk around and then they had they had
to run to the base fucking great game they had to run to the base base and say buzz off by one two
three buzz off by one two three by one two three yeah that was a good game really good
I was talking to my mate
the other day
my mates used to
did any of your mates
used to do this
garden lobbing
what's that
trespassing
it's trespassing
just going over the gardens
jumping over
as many gardens
as Rosie could
I never did that
I never did it
my mates used to do it
my mates used to love it
and I never did it
I never jumped over
I don't know how
I used to keep getting out of it my mates said it was the idea I used to love it we did it did it I never jumped over I don't know how I used to
keep getting out of it
my mates that was the idea
I used to love it
we did it all the time
they did do it all the time
and I would just
I don't know how I did it
but I didn't even let myself
get peer pressured into it
I wouldn't do it
imagine if you just saw some kids
jumping out of your back fence
and just running through
I don't think I'd be that arsed
remember when people
used to like chase people
when you go out
knock on that door
the bloke would come out
and chase you
like how much fucking time has he got on his hands remember it you go out and knock on that door the bloke will come out and chase you like how much fucking time
has he got on his hands
remember
get a bit irritated
ring that doorbell
and the guy comes
and chases you
why
and what's he going to do
when he catches
what's he doing
is he a fucking nutcase
and like if I got
knocked on the door
and I opened the door
and there was no one there
I go okay
kids have knocked
and ran away
and I shut the door again
but what that guy
didn't know is
by chasing them he's making a road for his own back if I looked out the back window and two kids have not run away and I shut the door again. What that guy didn't know is by chasing them,
he's making a rod for his own back.
If I looked out the back window
and two kids jumped over the fence
and ran and jumped over the next fence,
I'd probably open the back door
or the window and think,
what are they doing?
And then I'd go back in.
It depends how old they are.
Right.
How old are the men?
Well, I know,
but you're thinking maybe
he's like Robin's age or something.
I'm not being funny.
My Daniel now,
how old is he now?
He's 13.
We're talking youths.
He's like six foot odd.
If a 13,
14 year old lad
jumped over our,
I'd be like,
who the fuck was that?
Do you know what I mean?
But I'm not going to chase him.
I'm not going to follow him.
I'd get a good chase on me.
You little shit!
Get out of my garden!
Come back here
and play man with a gun!
Eh?
I'll sort the men from the boys.
You're invited gun. I'll sort the men from the boys. music director Gustavo Jimeno in conversation. Together, they dissect the mesmerizing layers of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring,

nearly said the c word oh i had you? Nearly said the C word.
Oh, I had to stop myself.
I love the C word.
You do indeed.
We swore a lot this episode, though.
We have.
We'll be very angry.
Let's just fucking, let's rain at the fucking, let's fucking rain at the fucking, right?
I love swearing.
I do, I love it.
I love it so much.
Honestly, if you're offended by swearing, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Well, I find swearing one of them things.
You can control your swearing.
Yeah, yeah.
I did a TV programme last week.
Oh, my God.
Stop doing all that stuff.
Why?
Well, stop doing all that stuff.
Shut up.
That's the thing.
We're in a weird position at the minute
because you've done a TV show
that you want to talk about
and you're not allowed.
And I've done a TV show
that I want to talk about
but I'm not allowed.
It's really annoying.
Yeah, we live in a weird world
where we can't talk about anything.
Yeah, everything's filmed
so far in advance but
we'll talk about it
also.
Yeah.
Don't worry, we'll get
you all up to speed
because we've got
something.
I'm fucking cracking
out of doors.
Can I just say though,
I do love working with
you.
I genuinely do.
We have a lovely,
we have a great time.
It's good fun.
I feel a bud coming.
It's quite nice being
on my own.
Great.
Quite nice being my
own person again.
Great.
It was nice.
Great.
It was nice.
Well, I'm glad because
you are your own person. Yeah. And yeah. Kind of had to be a bit more professional. Great. It was nice. Great. It was nice. Well, I'm glad, because you are your own person.
Yeah.
And yeah.
Kind of had to be a bit more professional.
Really?
Which was quite difficult.
Probably, yeah.
Anyway, what was I saying?
Fuck knows.
Some shit about a TV show you did.
Some shit about some stupid job you did that you were rubbish at.
So, I mean, I was pretty rubbish.
I managed not to swear.
Might have let a couple slip out
in, you know, company.
But actually, on the whole,
didn't swear much
because you can rein it in
when you need to.
But I do love a good swear word.
I used to on the one show, man.
Squeaky clean.
Children in need.
Squeaky clean.
I can do what I need to,
but I just fucking love it.
I do, I do.
Anyway, what's your beef, you fucking...
Sorry.
Right, my fucking... My beef, you fucking... Sorry. My fucking...
My beef with you at the minute.
Can't imagine the while.
We've spent a full summer together.
I can't imagine you've got anything left.
I've got a lot.
To get upset with.
You need to stop prioritising yourself in the morning.
Never.
Never.
Next question.
Never.
Come downstairs. Yeah. Next question. Never. We'll come downstairs.
Yeah.

You know,

I'll fill the trough.
Right?
I am,
Rosie,
it's called self-care.
Well,
you come down.
Yeah.
Obviously,
I'll run around after them,
get all the stuff done,
whatever.
But actually,
this is the problem because I would do it
but Rafe
won't let me leave his side
what is wrong with this kid
at the minute
he is so clingy
bless him
so I have to just sit with Rafe
because
I could
I do leave him sometimes
and he has to cry
and I'm like that's
you know I get it
but

And you just...
Yeah, I would eat it for the sake of eating it
because that's sometimes how desperate I am.
I ate out of date Fdate Fortnum & Mason biscuits

That's because we got a posh present from the TV.
She was supposed to be bought some Fortnum & Mason biscuits.
There were...

fucking hell, how is everyone not rolling around in Parliament?
Well, I suppose they are.
The kind of people who go to fort i'm amazing um i sadly um

a proper menstrual phase
oh god
I have two at a time
and I suck all the shell off
and then I like
squidge them together
in my mouth
why do you
molest food
oh god
why do you
molest food
get the rat shop
get me out of this
explain how you do it
so I put two in my mouth one just is how you do it so I put two in my mouth
one just is
shite

I put two in my mouth
I suck
individually
I play with them
around my mouth
is this sexual
no no
absolutely not
I play with them
in my mouth
horrible
stop it
hi boy
stop it
so I play with them
in my mouth
suck all the stuff off
and then once they've gone
like soft down
do you
here's a question
do you completely suck the stuff off one and then store it in your side pouch like a little stuff off and then once they've gone like softer. Do you, here's a question, do you completely suck
the stuff off one
and then store it
in your side pouch
like a little hamster
and do the second one
or do you do like sort of
do you just do it
so now play with them both.
Right.
Suck them so they're a bit softer
but the shell's still there
then I squidge them together
with my tongue
and the top roof of my mouth
and then squidge them
and then the shell
kind of breaks
and then I chomp the shell,
I put the shell
to the side of my mouth
and then I suck the chocolate when it's melted and then after shell kind of breaks and then I chomp the shell I put the shell to the side of my mouth and then I suck the chocolate
when it's melted
and then after that
after the chocolate
is melted
and I swallow that
I get the shell
from the like
side of my mouth
and then I
chomp on the shell
with my front teeth
anyone listen to that
if you fancy minstrels
after that
you want your fucking head
looking like that
there will be
horrible
there will be people
who enjoyed that
that's definitely not
minstrels new advert.
I'll put the shell on the table
and I'll bring it back down.
It's just you clacking with fucking bits of shell
spitting on the microphone.
Honestly.
I also like the Countess one.
They don't have the shell on.
They're still quite nice.
They're still quite hard on the outside.
There is still a bit of a coating there.
It's not like proper shell.
Yet if I buy them, I get bollocked.
So what do I do?
You wouldn't a tear.
Listen, you wouldn't a tear.'t you're not getting anything shut up
it's time for questions from the public
guys as always if you want to get in touch it is shagged marinoid at gmail.com send us all
kinds stories confessions everything but most importantly at the moment we are very much enjoying icks oh why are you so disgusting disgusting hi chris and rosie a short and sweet ick from me
my boyfriend of nearly four years calls a 69 an upsie downsie
he said it the first time as a joke and now it's stuck.
The worst part is it's one of my favourite positions,
so the ick is a fresh stab in the heart and libido every time.
Jesus, who's regularly 69?
I didn't know.
Honestly, I didn't know.
Sorry, what the fuck's going on?
Whose favourite position is having your partner's arsehole in your face?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I don't know if it's us being super vanilla here,
but whose favourite position is a 69er?
Who's 69ing so regularly that their ick is what their boyfriend calls a 69.
What?
What are you, a fucking porn star?
What's wrong?
Is it us?
Is it us?
It might be us.
I don't know.
What would you rather look at, right?
A belly button or an arsehole?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
What would you rather have your nose touching?
A belly button or an arsehole?
69? No. Yeah. I don't think I have. belly button of an arsehole 69 no

I don't think
we've
we've never done 69
I don't know
I don't think we have
no we haven't
we've talked about something
but we're not
Chris I don't think
I've done a 69 position
since I was about 20
I remember
I think
when I first started
having sex
it would have been like
let's 69
because I've seen it on porn
because it's a thing
and then I remember
it finishing and me going
well I'm happy to never do that again because that was fucking that was like
you know hey hey imagine the advert for 69s would be hey do you like having sex hey do you also like
fixing a car are you good at multitasking do you want to be sliding under the undercarriage of your partner
like you're fixing a fucking Renault Clio?
Is your car amazing?
It's so uncomfortable.
And they're doing it so much that he's going,
let's upsy-dowsy and she's going, stop saying that.
You're ruining me.
You're ruining me.
My favourite position.
Fucking hell.
It might be us. Listen, each of their own i'm just
glad they're still having sex i can't believe people are regularly 69 and out there i can't
believe it i imagine it's something you do you try it and then you go up it's a but then again
you know everyone's in a different stuff but don't you think it's like all i don't know whether
maybe it's when you have kids i'm not like i think we had longer sexual sessions
before children never see sexual sexual again no but you know what i mean hi welcome to rosie's
sexual sessions on air bbc radio for a late night um you know what i mean though it used to be like
an occasion oh yeah now it's three minutes yeah quick three minutes what we're doing it six times
joking aren't you
three minutes
get the Lucas aid
squeeze it in
literally
babadoo babadoo babadoo
hi Chris and Rosie
big fan of you both
oh thank you very much
oh
not
not that fussed about
being kept anonymous
but do as you do
right
but you do you
I think as a rule
we should probably keep
unless it's specifically keep people anonymous anyway just because I don't want to get sued yeah but do as you do. Right. But you do you, even. I think as a rule, we should probably keep,
unless it's specifically,
keep people anonymous anyway just because I don't want
to get sued.
Yeah.
When I used to work
in a school as a TA
in a year four class,
my class teacher
was the head of IT
for the primary school.
So we were always
using laptops in the class
and he had this software
which let you monitor
what the kids typed
and viewed.
Oh God.
One day,
we were using the school laptops for a project and I was in charge of watching and what the kids typed and viewed. Oh God. One day we were using the school laptops for a project
and I was in charge of watching and monitoring the kids.
One of the kids that thought he was the cool kid
was giggling a bit too loudly
and kept pointing at the screen with his partner laughing too.
I thought this was a bit odd
so decided to see what they were looking up.
To my surprise, they were looking or what they were looking up sorry yeah to my surprise they were looking at birds specifically blue tits brilliant i thought
nothing of it until i noticed what they had searched to get a blue tit the boy had tried
to search up titties on a school laptop but could not spell titties. Instead he wrote, so imagine titties, but without the T in the I.
So, tights.
And then tried to fix that by writing big tights.
So it's a tits, not tights.
So, T-I-T-E-S.
Yeah. T-T-E-S? T-T-E So T-I-T-E-S. Yeah.
Tites?
Tites?
Tites?
Without the T.
Tites.
Yeah.
I obviously found it hilarious that he couldn't spell tits right.
So after I giggled for a bit,
I decided I would let it be known in the most teachery way
that I knew what he was doing.
As part of this software, we can freeze their screens and then leave a message on their frozen screen. Oh, that's fucking lush.
That's like the Matrix, huh?
I know.
I, of course, froze their screen.
The kids jumped and looked very scared.
I then sent them a full-screen message that said,
I see everything, and now your parents do too.
Oh.
I can honestly say I've never had such a good laugh.
So, Chris and Rosie
what would you do
if Robin or Rafe's
primary school teacher
came and told you
that they had been caught
trying to watch
porn in a lesson
that's a good question
I mean I love that
being able to freeze
the screen
and write a message on
that is fucking power
I can say this
imagine if you could
do it with their phones
imagine if it would be
a device in the class
that every phone
has to go into
and do it our mate so my best if it would be a device in the class that every phone has to go into and they can do it.
Well, how I made,
so my best friend Steph,
her husband Jonathan
is a teacher.
I don't think he's teaching
in a class at the minute.
He's working in the colleges.
And he said,
if you want a kid
to put their phone away
in a lesson,
literally just go next to them
and look at the screen.
Yeah, yeah.
And they are so desperate
for you not to see
what's on that screen
and they'll put it away straight away.
Instead of going,
get your phone away.
And they won't.
Yeah, he said that to me the other day.
God. Just go and have a look at it.
Yeah, he's like a school fixer.
Isn't he?
Yeah, he fixes loads of problems at school.
Really clever, that.
I can imagine if you were sitting texting a man,
the teacher sat down and started reading your text.
Why, yeah.
You'd be putting it straight away.
Genius.
If our boys were watching porn at school.
Sorry, when our boys watch porn at school.
Are you kidding me?
I would absolutely annihilate them.
Yeah, there's a time and a place.
What are you doing?
How stupid are you typing in big titties into the school laptop?
Are you mad?
Do you know what it is though?
That's like crazy confident.
Yeah.
I can't even imagine a kid looking up
big titties at home.
Do you know what I mean?
So, hang on, titties hasn't worked.
Someone writing big titties.
I don't recognise titties.
I'll put big titties. Oh, there we go.
Oh, blue titties. What's going on here?
Google, stop cock-flocking me,
please. I don't have my blue tits. I want a big titties.
Fucking who do you think I am?
Bill Oddie?
When I was at school, I remember Fucking me, please. I don't need my blue tits. I want a big titty. Fucking who do you think I am? Bill Oddie? Yeah.
When I was at school,
I remember in the sort of IT,
there was a couple of lads
who were really good with computers
and they got like these games.
I remember there was this game.
I don't remember having the internet at school.
Right.
Oh no, I think because you guys
just had calculators.
No, we had the Acorn computers,
the massive ones with like the black screen
and the green writing and then it must have got
a bit better no fucking way
because I remember when I started Horton Comp
I still remember me using him for the computer
it was 97 Ramsey slash C because 97
was the year I started
97 Ramsey slash C and we logged on the computer
and we had Microsoft Word and Excel and we did all that
and then like a year or two in we got
the internet.
And it was just like everyone couldn't believe it.
And then I remember some lads were really good with computers and one lad brought a floppy disk in with these different games on
and he put them on and everyone had these different games on their account.
And then he got bollocked by the IT department.
They absolutely strung him up.
But it was just like screensavers and there was this game called Get Saddam
where little cartoon Saddam Husseins popped up and you had to click them all and get
rid of them yeah yeah it was very topical very topical of the time but i just remember like
at no point were the it guys like a bit impressed by what he'd done it was just like they're like
absolutely tore him to bits and it was like he's better than you at your jobs he's like bypassed
all of the shit security you put on he's managed to put games on the thing yeah oh they got me though i've never told you this story ever i don't know so the the
head of it he came in our it class and he was like just to let you all know i've collared one i've
collared the boy i know all of you have got this stuff on your accounts i've collared the guy who
brought it in and you should all um you should all you know get get it deleted off
yours as well because i'm going to look through everyone's account i'm going to find it and i
think i put my hand up to ask him a question because i felt really i knew i had it on my
account and i was i had not a good poker face as i was a kid right still terrible poker face but
yeah still got a bad one now and i remember putting my hand up to ask him something and he's like look
that is weird and then i went to the it block because the lad he was picking up the lad the lad he bollocked sorry i was gonna walk home with him because that's why
i was panicking like an idiot everyone else just left but i went to the it but waited for him
and remember i looked back on it and think fucking hell they totally got us the teacher was like oh
yeah what you doing i was like i'm waiting for such and such you went oh yeah you're his uh
you're his mate are you i was like yeah yeah and And he went, yeah, he says all the stuff on the computer.
He got it off you.
And I just instantly burst into tears
and confessed all of the stuff I had
and told him the other lad who brought it in
and basically grasped everyone up in one go.
And it was not until years later, I thought,
because I remember my mate left and I was like,
he said you told him, you told on me?
And he went, I didn't.
I didn't mention your name.
Why would I mention your name? You didn't give us it. Fucking he went I didn't I didn't mention your name why would I mention
your name
you didn't give us it
fucking got us
didn't he
reverse psychology
this
or whatever it's called
that's bad
you could probably
get him done
for that now
I might look it up
who was it by the way
what mate was it
what was it
I don't want to say
his name
I'm sure he's
I mean I think
I don't think
he's going to get
wrong for it now
you never know
like they might be
waiting
Saddam Hussein's people might be furious who is it I can't remember what he's called I think he's going to get wrong for it now. You never know. They might be waiting. What do you mean?
Saddam Hussein's people might be furious.
Who is it?
I can't remember what he's called.
I think he's called Robert
and I think the other lad was called James.
Oh, okay.
You just made them up, haven't you?
No.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course you have.
That was a hack of names.
Hi, Rosie and Chris in the Bairns.
Hope you're well.
Hello.
Long time listener here.
I have a quick and very specific ick for you.
It's like an ick
but it's actually
A specific ick.
Ick.
Well done.
A specific ick.
So we're getting a lot
I've been getting a lot of emails.
Don't stop them by the way.
This isn't my slag on them.
Yeah, yeah.
Keep sending them in.
They're icks
but they're actually
really long story of icks
and I think they're not icks
they're just sort of like
you've had a bad experience
with someone
who's give you the ick really.
Storics.
Yes. Yeah. I was once talking to this lad historic events i stopped now
i thought you'd be impressed by that no i was once talking to this lad i met on a popular gay
dating app sorry can i just pause this as well we haven't talked about this can you stop saying
ick when i do stuff around the house oh yeah can you stop just saying
ick all the time
it's not really pisses off
what was it
I did the
I did something
and you were just like
ick
you can't do that
stop icking us
really horrible
you've been walking
around naked a lot
letting your little dick
flop all over the place
which makes you
feel a bit sick
Jesus Christ
too hot
it's hot.
You prop our Friday night dinner down in a minute.
It's really pissing us off.
Great show, yeah.
Constantly naked.
Yeah, but I've got underpants on.
No, you've been doing a lot of walking around naked.
You've got it flaunted.
Right, so this guy, right,
talking to this lad he met on a popular gay dating app.
Yeah, yeah.
He was really charismatic and handsome
and we hit it off immediately.
We had a few dates together
and things were going really well.
One night, after a few drinks,
we headed back to his flat.
It was modern, well-furnished,
and he lived alone.
Everything I was looking for in a man at the time.
Modern, well-furnished, lives alone, four and a half stars.
How fun is that?
That's like his criteria.
Does he have a modern, well-furnished home?
Does he live by himself?
Right, I'm in.
Modern and well-furnished.
Don't get what he looks like.
Don't get what his breath's like.
Have a great night.
Oh, yes.
What a lovely home.
Oh, God, you could do another furniture.
What's this?
An antique sideboard?
Get me a fucking Uber.
What's that, an auger?
Oh, God.
Get me out of here.
Beams, original beams.
When was this house built?
Alien fucking, get me, where's my bike?
Jesus.
Oh, funny.
That night, there was a lot of flirting, making out.
Well, you know the rest.
Oh, yeah.
You know the rest.
Gobble, gobble.
Fucking hell.
What are you doing?
Don't ever do that again.
Cut to the next morning.
He was making breakfast for us both.
That's nice.
I found out later that he could really cook well.
Wow. That's good. Not on the criteria either. That's a bonus. That's nice. I found out later that he could really cook well. Wow.
That's good.
Not on the criteria either.
That's a bonus.
I know.
That's on top of everything else.
I know.
I had just finished showering and headed back to his bedroom.
As I was getting dressed, I noticed some photos on his dresser of him dressed as a knight.
Weird, I thought.
But each to their own, I guess.
Okay.
So I put the photo to the back of my mind and met him in the kitchen for breakfast.
As we were eating, he mentioned he had plans with his LARP group.
LARP, I hear you say.
Well, Chris probably knows what it is.
Do you know what it is?
I don't know what the L stands for, but the R is going to be reenactment, isn't it?
Yeah, it says.
But Rosie, live action role play.
But Rosie, live action roleplay, as he informed me,
is basically a bunch of people dressing up and acting as though they were in a certain era. The war, medieval times, etc.
After seeing the photo of him dressed as a knight,
and him then mentioning and explaining what LARP was,
I was already feeling unsettled at his lifestyle choices.
and explaining what LARP was,
I was already feeling unsettled at his lifestyle choices.
Yeah.
In brackets, no hate, just not for me.
It's not something you want to find out the morning after.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's more.
I was really willing myself to get over this as this guy was a dream in all aspects minus this.
Fuck.
Anyway, he invited me to come with him.
Brilliant.
To which I agreed. I i mean if it was just
people dressed as knights i could just drink mead in brackets i guess this is what they had
and have a good time um he he went to get suited as i waited and to be fair to him the armor was
kind of hot in its own way. We then travelled to the site.
There were a lot of horses around
and I was loving them.
But he went off...
What the...
Liking the horses.
Oh, yes.
But then he went off saying
it was almost time for the show.
Right.
Here's when the ick
I never thought I had happened.
So the ick isn't the reenactment.
The ick is something specific
that happens during the reenactment.
The ick is what he sees.
He's like,
I'm going to get over this
because you know what?
Open-minded, fair enough.
You know,
everyone likes their own
different things, right?
He proceeded to get onto a horse,
put a helmet on
and grab a long stick looking thing.
I asked someone what was going on
and they informed me
that the joust was about to begin.
Hearing that gave me such an
ick that to say i was turned off was an understatement my penis literally crawled back
up inside of me long story short i left him in the show and never spoke with him again what that's
the good bit he was gonna do fucking you're seeing jousting it's fucking awesome my question to you rosie is if chris
decided to become a joust guy would you support him in this that's it it's settled joust guy
would you support him in this new and undeniable short-lived venture or would your
vagina heal over in a nick so i think he thinks that i would hate this but i yeah love yeah all this kind of shit yeah you
know i used to do amanda dramatics as a kid let's do it i'd probably quite enjoy that fucking mint
that yeah first episode of house of the dragon hello yeah jousting all over the place yeah yeah
i've always thought that i'm from this time anyway yeah so i would probably stand on the sidelines in some
sort of long dress that i've walked through puddles of piss yeah i was gonna say yeah you're not sorry
yeah i'm poor i'm not rich yeah you're not up in the box no no no yeah i'm down i've got i've got
i've got syphilis yeah down on the sidelines yeah yeah yeah no teeth yeah you're a god chris yeah
you're an alehouse whore yes I would believe absolutely absolutely
yes
so I would be there
I'd quite like it
it'd be a little fun activity
that we could do
I'm not saying that we could join
we haven't got time
yeah we haven't got time
I'd love to
I mean I've seen it happen
when I did that
that time crashes thing
for channel 4
and they did an actual joust
I wonder if you can still watch that somewhere
they did an actual joust
and the horses get
hang on a minute
riled up.
Hang on a minute.
Right.
Something's just happened.
What?
You mentioning time crushers
Yeah.
has just reminded me
that there was people
on that set
who do that as a hobby
and I
think that's rank.
So
no I don't think
I would like it.
I've changed my full mind.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Didn't you say that
there was people
who just did it in their spare time
and they were kind of extras?
Yeah, it'll have been exactly...
This guy we're talking about
might have even been there the day I did it.
Okay, well, maybe I don't like it, actually.
Because I remember when that happened,
I always thought, oh, God.
I mean, there were a bunch of bellends,
I'll be genuinely honest with you.
No, there were.
Were there actually bellends?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Because I've got no respect for that hobby.
Don't get us wrong, I'd love a turn of a joust
I reckon it would hurt like fuck
I remember you telling me
how seriously they took it
so seriously
that's what made me
remember and go
oh didn't they take it
really seriously
didn't they get annoyed
sometimes
yeah because I was
taking the piss
because you were
taking the piss
I cut out so much of me
fucking about
on that show
I came across quite well
I remember leaving
going I'm going to look like a cunt on telly here show I came across quite well I remember leaving going I'm gonna
I couldn't tell you
and I came across
quite well
because they cut it all out
but by the end
I think they were
the first two days
the castle and the jousting
was the first two days
and then by the end
I sort of got on board
I had a journey
you did have a little journey
I had a journey by the end
I was sleeping in holes
and that and scruffy
I don't think
watching anyway
it should be on the telly
somewhere but I don't know
it is one of them things
I'm just thinking more about the people who do it not the should be on the telly somewhere but I don't know it is one of them things I'm just thinking more
about the people who do it
not the actual activity itself
the people who do it
yeah
I think people who've got time
for a massive hobby
like a part of their life
I don't think
I'd get along with them
it's like this thing
we're watching at the minute
on
we're watching it
so somebody recommended it
to me
on the job that I was doing
last week
it's called The Vow
used to be on Netflix it's on Prime now I to me on the job that I was doing last week. It's called The Vow.
The Vow. It used to be on Netflix.
It's on Prime now.
I had to buy it.
Yeah.
But I was just desperate to watch it.
Cod's still out of commission,
so I got that bill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's about a cult
and it's just very interesting,
but it just makes you go,
how much time you've got on your hands.
Yeah, yeah.
It's always just,
people have got too much time.
Join a cult?
Fuck me.
I can't just, I mean.
I mean, Chris, I'm not even a member of a gym because I haven't got time. Join a cult? Fuck me. I can't just, I mean...
I mean, Chris, I can't...
I'm not even a member of a gym
because I haven't got time.
I just...
Cult.
I mean, we've had a go at people
for having too much time on their hands
religiously on this podcast,
but the fact that you're jealous
that you haven't got time to join a cult
is utterly fucking ridiculous.
I would quite like it.
I haven't got time to join a cult.
I haven't joined a gym.
Fucking hell, man. Do you know what I mean? Eh, what? Drink the poison lemonade and die. I haven't got time to join a cult I haven't joined a gym fucking hell man
do you know what I mean
what
drink the poison lemonade
and die
I'd love to have the
space in me diary
you lucky bastard
you
what
it's dead interesting
but the part of this cult
they go play volleyball
at three o'clock in the morning
oh yeah well
to be fair
to be fair
if you've always wanted to join a cult
Rose and you haven't done it yet
the fact that your card's blocked
you'll probably fucking do it now because you use my card to get in
how much is it a month oh yeah he has my husband's card yeah that's where they finally i'll join that
cult i was always wanting to join that's where they get you you got to do the modules and that
you got to learn about it mine we are watching it it is very interesting and obviously you know i
do feel sorry for the people involved but i say straight away they just talk they just talk a
load of bullshit they talk bollocks it's for intelligent people
who love the sound
of their own voice
who just use words
like politicians
just words
that don't make any sense
they go round and round
the circle
and they all smile
and nod at each other
going that's brilliant
it's just a big
self-serving
self-gratifying circle
circle jerk
it is a circle jerk
what happened
as soon as I watched it
and as soon as we started
the show
every cult show
everything
the cult was this the cult was that oh it was about helping each other it was about empowering no it's not It is a circle joke. What happened, as soon as I watched it, and as soon as we started the show, every cult show, everything,
the cult was this, the cult was that,
oh, it was about helping each other,
it was about empowering women.
No, it's not.
It is about the cult leader's tiddler.
It's always about his tiddler.
Always about the tiddler.
I said straight away,
and when the guy came on... By tiddler, we mean cock.
He's cock, yeah.
Keith, he's called, by the way.
Yeah, Keith.
How a bloke called Keith is starting a cult.
Who's following a bloke called Keith?
No offence to anyone,
but come on, join the cult. Who's the leader?ke called Keith? No offence to anyone but come on
join the cult.
Who's the leader?
Oh Keith.
Oh yeah Keith.
The Tyler.

And then as soon as
I saw his face
I went and spat
his tiddler.
And you actually went
and you went

I went the whole thing
will be because he wants
to fuck loads of people.
It's always because
the cult leader
wants to shag loads of people.
Oh there's a new

because that bloke
wants to get his dick wet.
That's the only reason it's happening.
Every single time.
It's never a woman wanting to get fingered, is it?
It's always, you're totally right.
Nah, you're totally right.
Always about the bloke's tiddler.

Keith's tiddler.
You're all right, welcome to the cult.
I'm Keith.
you're all right welcome to the court
I'm Keith
I'm going to say
that we're going to learn
how to be better people
at this court
but actually
I just want to get my dick wet
and I'm going to teach you
some grouting
