like a fucking Labrador
and I knew this morning
there's two big massive dots there
I've got one on me left chin
but wait
nobody else in the house
is getting bitten
I don't understand what's happening
all I can imagine is
I'm absolutely delicious
compared to the rest of you
clearly
I don't know where it's come from
it's doing me nothing
I've got two on me
I've got two on me right hip

so you're talking like 12
I don't know what's happening I don't know what's happening.
I don't know what they are.
I've got antihistamine cream,
that's not doing anything.
It says it stops itching,
it doesn't stop itching.
If I knew where it was happening,
that's the most frustrating bit.
It's like being punched
by a little invisible twat.
So we've changed all the bedding.
We've changed all the bedding,
we've washed all the bedding.
We've got a throw
that we've had for a long, long time
that we haven't really ever washed.
It's not even a throw, is it?
It's almost like a sort of
self-contained duvet
without a duvet cover.
Yeah, but it might be that.
But then I would be getting bit as well.
Anyway, that's come off.
I think I'm just lush.
I'm going to chance it.
Am I just lush?
I must just be lush.
I must taste better.
I mean, my first...
Are you offended by that?
What?
That I taste better?
No, but obviously my first thought
goes to that you're going
to some monkey brothel.
Well, yeah, but no. That brothel has a five-star hygiene rating and on trust pilot it's rated
sexy is it sexy squeaky clean and sexy right so don't you don't slag me brothel off that is not
fair right you know that the women and animals in there are clean. Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry, I'm joking.
No, I've got no idea what it is.
We'll work it out.
We think it might be the... We've got these little bouncy castle things.
You've got the bouncy castles
that we keep outside.
And I'm the one who has to put them up
and then deflate them.
I think it's a lot.
I have to belly flop all over them
to deflate them.
Well, there you go.
But the kids jump all over them
and they haven't fucking got any...
I've been on it as well,
which was a very depressing time.
Why? Because I've brought on it as well, which was a very depressing time. Why?
Because I've brought the fucker down.
Right, so anyone listening, they're like them.
They're not...
It was when we moved in the house, the last owner said,
oh, we've left a bouncy castle.
And I'm expecting just a big inflatable, like almost a pool toy.
But it's not.
It's got a pump and everything.
Oh, it's got like a generator.
Yeah, but it's not like one you'd hire from everything but it's not it's got like a generator yeah but it's not like
it's not like one
you'd hire from a party
it's a couple of levels
down from that
but yeah
Robin says that to me
he says can you go on it
with us dad
and I go yeah no bother
and I stand in the middle
and just slowly sink down
yeah I went to the top
of the slide
like I'm doing me recycling
I ripped half of the stuff
Jesus Christ

I ripped it
I ripped the little
the window thing

Yeah, Rafe was crying his eyes out.
My mum was pissed and I started laughing.
Brilliant.
And I was stuck and I couldn't get up.
And then my mum was like,

And I'm like,
because your three's don't fucking like it than us.

now listen I was
we went to the cinema to see the new Mario movie

it was very good
a bunch of girls
sitting across from you
sitting three across
from you
one of them stood up
for the entire film
I can see her
out the corner of my eyes
obviously talking
everyone
take it as a given
they're like ten
I know one of them
get them to shut
the fuck up then
if you know one of them
tell me where their
parents are now
and I'll go and tell them
obviously
dear listener
take it as read
take it as read
that every single
fucking prick
in that cinema
was talking
every single person
was talking
kids
kids were talking
dickheads
which I remember
going to see
the Titanic
the Titanic
or just Titanic
whatever it's called
and Armageddon
and I remember
for most of it
I was sat on the floor
in front of all my mates because there was lads there and I thought I was cool I was a of it, I was sat on the floor in front of all my mates
because there was lads there
and I thought I was cool.
I was a dick
when I was there.
You sat on the floor
in the cinema?
I think so, yeah.
You couldn't pay me
enough money
to sit on the floor
in the cinema?
That same cinema,
probably the same seat.
But just young.
Well, they went to the toilets
a few times.
They went down their steps
then they came back
up our steps
and walked past us.
That was upsetting.
One of them stayed standing up.
Another person next to me
was adding sound effects. I don't know what was going on with that. Screaming and shouting past us. That was upsetting. One of them stayed standing up. Another person next to me was adding sound effects.
I don't know what was going on with that.
Screaming and shouting
and like fucking doing all kinds.
And then everyone was talking.
It was horrible.
And I've been in the cinema in the past.
I tell you when I went to see Men in Black
and someone chewed up loads of Haribo
and spat them in my hair.
What have I told you this i don't think i knew that what happened customs house south shales maybe me and johnny went to see uh men in black and there was a bunch of lads behind us and they
were chewing up harry i just felt something hitting us i thought it was popcorn no i was
like turning around and though and it turns out they were chewing up harry bones spitting it into
me hair and so i went home on the bus and then me and Johnny had to then go into my house, go upstairs,
and shampoo and condition my hair and comb the Haribo out.
Why didn't they do it to him?
They're missing him, they're just getting me.
To be fair, I had longer hair.
i shouldn't laugh because that's really bad actually i've just peeled an onion with this story because this was i remember i got in massive massive trouble with my mom um so i'd already seen
men in black i'd already been to see men in black and then i said oh i'm gonna go to the cinema
again we're gonna go and see men in black again and my mom was like you're not going to see it
again you've already seen it because obviously she had to give his money for the cinema so she's like you're not going to see it again so i was like all right
we're going to see the hunchback of notredame because that was on at the same time god help
the outcasts i told a fib i've never seen the hunchback of notredame we went to see men in
black again right okay which is when i got the harry born which is karma it ain't for lying to
your mother but then i had to lie i had to lie and say oh yeah
and she was is it good i went yeah she was like what happened i was like oh yeah like magic at
the end i don't know what happens you know i was then at like this daycare thing right this um
this like uh summer school thing right at my school and then one day the lady said mom oh
are you gonna you know it's two quid or whatever and we're all going to go to the cinema.
And she went,
my mum,
what are they going to see?
And she went,
oh,
we're going to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
And my mum went,
oh,
it's okay,
he's already seen it.
And I went,
no,
I haven't.
I went to see Men in Black.
Instead,
she was like,
you lied.
And that was it.
Oh,
no.
Turned inside out.
So,
just a lying little shit.
What have you brought me here?
Aren't you?
Yeah.
Terrible.
You haven't told any fibs.
Have I haven't?
You tell fibs to your mum. When I was younger? Yeah. Oh my, are you kidding me here yeah terrible you haven't told any fibs have I haven't did you tell fibs
to your mum
when I was younger
yeah
are you kidding
all the time
that's the main fib
I remember
what fibs have I told
more so when I was
older and started
drinking
have you been
drinking
no
what fibs did I tell
me watch used to
always break
used to always put
me watch back
an hour
right
she'd be like
I want you home
by 8 o'clock
and then I'd come home
at 9
but my watch would say 8
and I'd go
mum my watch
I did it so many times
wow
yeah
we had such
how old were you at this point
probably about 11
see I've told you this
we had such different times
my mum used to lock the door
to stop us coming in
because she used to stay in
all the time
so I would go out
and she would like
shut the door and just be like stay out for god's sake
just stay out shut up yeah i would just come back i was never like i was never like god you couldn't
literally couldn't get me home i know i was the saddest thing i've ever had oh yeah yeah no just
because obviously we lived in the street where my mom and dad lived we always used to play sort of
right outside my house so i was like right outside so apparently just came in and out non-stop and
she was just like but I was never the kid
of like
you know
be back by this time
because she knew
I would just be in
she knew I would come back in
every 20 minutes
I would literally
stay out all night
I would have stayed
in the cemetery
till like
1 o'clock in the morning
right
easy
yeah
god
did I ever tell you
the time when
I realised
that I would never
be able to get away
with smoking ever when I was a kid
I was out walking along
the street with someone
one of the lads who was smoking
and I went back home and my mum was
sitting at the other end of the living room and I popped
my head into the living room to ask if I could get some money
to go to the takeaway around the corner
the door had been open three seconds and she just went
you've been smoking and I was like
I was 20 yards away from her
I was like
what the fuck
so I never ever
I thought
that is something
I can never ever do
did I write it in the book
or did I mention it on here
what I used to do
when I smoked at school
gargle piss
no
was it in the book
or on here
I can't remember
oh it was something
about a garlic plant
yeah it was a garlic plant
at the bottom of my street
on King George Road
and I used to literally used to like rub my fingers something about a garlic plant near you. Yeah, there was a garlic plant at the bottom of my street on King George Road and I used to literally,
used to like rub my fingers
in this fresh garlic plant, rotten.
And I'd go,
have you smelt any fingers?
And I'd go, no, I've smelt my fingers.
And my Kate laughs
because she's like,
came in from school every day
and ran upstairs
and brushed your teeth.
And like,
that was just,
I've had sweets.
She's,
she's,
tell you,
that daughter of ours,
she's either been smoking
or sucking someone off
because no one brushes their teeth
that fucking regularly
I love the idea
I love the garlic thing
have we discussed the garlic thing
I just love the idea
I can't remember if it's in the book
or in the tin
let's smell your fingers
let's smell your fingers
you've been smoking
mum I've been making
pasta arrabbiata
I told you
smell me fingers
after school Chloe
I've been making
garlic dough balls
I told you this
in the bus stop
in the bus stop we make garlic
dough balls in the bus stop.
Don't be tight on the white.
Jingle?
Yeah, jingle.
Jingle.
We had a fight about the jingle.

you've got to put your little map
on Facebook
after you did your run
or it doesn't count
it doesn't count
you've got to show everyone
where you went haven't you
got to count up them steps
got to show them all
oh
jump straight in your ice bath
afterwards
video it
or it didn't happen
I still haven't given in
by the way to ice baths
did I tell you someone
tweeted straight away
going I can't wait until Chris inevitably gets an ice bath and starts banging on it no you haven't had one yet have I still haven't given in by the way to ice baths. Did I tell you someone tweeted straight away going I can't wait
until Chris inevitably
gets an ice bath
and starts banging on it.
No you haven't had one yet
have you?
Still haven't given in.
No still haven't given in.
I get it.
I do get it
and I get why
it must be nice.
I still haven't been
for my cold water swims
because I'm a bullshit.
You bought the big coat
though didn't you?
Mate I bought all this stuff.
I bought a long sleeve
bloody outdoor
sort of like swimming
costume um it does look really good actually did they put on like that um you had a big jacket
and i bought the big coat um smokers jacket which is towel lined on the inside yeah yeah yeah never
been once have you never been i think i just prefer being hot well i know the whole ice bath
thing it is just it's basically it's more mind
over matter it's more like putting yourself in a horrible situation and basically sort of i don't
know what the health benefits are there's a lot of people say there isn't any actual health benefits
but you know there probably is you know recovery for muscles and swelling down and all of that if
you've been doing like you know mma but i think it's more about just putting yourself into a
horrendous horrendous
situation
and battling through it
and going
I'm going to stay here
for five minutes
and just mind over matter
and coming out
thinking I survived that
make sure it's only five minutes
my mum told me
that apparently
your tiddler falls off
doesn't it
probably
I think someone's actually
damaged themselves
because they've stayed in
too long
of course they have
yeah
it's always
this always happens with the world something comes out and people go this is good for you and someone
goes okay i'll do it for nine hours no not do it for two and nope too late i'm dead yeah i think
if you're staying if you're staying too long it's too much too much for your body it's the same with
everything it shuts down yeah an apple a day keeps the doctor away have 20 you're gonna have some
bowel issues so your fucking teeth are gonna to fall out it's always the same
everything
it's moderation isn't it

fucking blind
little question
enough of everything
can wallop you
yeah
it's mental
it's absolutely nuts
too much water can kill you
too much water can kill you
my god

can too much air kill you
maybe if you just breathe just pure oxygen it gives you. Yeah. It's crazy. I don't know about air. Can too much air kill you? Maybe if you just breathe
just pure oxygen for ages.

by a mile they all knew the words I just felt like a bit of a I felt felt a bit of a dick because everyone there, I was the youngest one there by a mile.
Yeah.
They all knew the words.
Yeah.
I just felt like a bit of a,
I felt like a fraud.
But you were just there
enjoying it with someone else.
But then I knew a couple of them.
Rosie,
how do you think people feel?
Something still,
I don't even know the fucking one.
Major Tom.
Fucking hell.
Ground control to Major Tom.
Yeah.
That was the only one I knew
but I didn't even know the words.
Yeah.
And I just wanted to be
in the gang
well that's fine
so I mouthed
listen I mouthed
some of them words
that I didn't know
but yeah
when my dad kept leaving
some people come to our
because some people
drag people who don't
listen to the podcast
to our live shows
can you imagine
what that must be like
can you imagine
on the first tour
when we're all singing
let's talk about shit
well no actually Chris
because if you want to
come to the tour
and you don't listen to the podcast
it's very inclusive
and you can come
yes
but no man
I'm just saying
and I'm saying
that's a great thing
that they come
like I just look like
yeah but I think
to enjoy a pop concert
or a concert in general
you have to know
some of their songs
right
surely
yeah but
anyway my question was
nothing to do with
this Mouthing the Words
that's just my little thing
alright
or not Mouthing the, as a case might be.
I mean, I would love to have seen it
because I definitely had three, four glasses of wine.
Do you know what my favourite David Bowie song is?
Do you know what my favourite David Bowie song is?
What is it? I'll probably know it.
It's 546783 off the 11259 album.
Yeah, that's a good one.
It's a good one.
It got me thinking, right?
So when was Bowie big?
So he's 70s,
80s.
I mean,
he had a phenomenal career.
He's had a great career,
right?
70s,
80s,
90s.
Didn't do the one
off the labyrinth,
fucking raging.
Not that one.
Okay,
they're always walking
upside down in that.
Yeah,
when my dad was kicking off,
he's like,
I thought he might have done
more of the 70s ones.
I was like,
dad,
for God's sake.
With a back catalogue like David Bowie's, you can't expect a fucking tribute act to knock out all the hits yeah crazy i was just sitting watching and i was just
like what are the tribute bands going to be like when we are my dad's age oh god yeah like am i
gonna watch a five tribute band like i would absolutely it'll be five it'll just be five
they'll do it themselves
they'll just do a reunion
oh yeah
I think they have done reunions
I think they have to be
okay well let's think of a
who we're gonna watch
you're gonna have Adele
you're gonna have Adele ones
you're gonna have Ed Sheeran ones
yeah
yeah
just massive
you can be Ed Sheeran ones
you can be little dudes
little dudes with guitars
it's just gonna be weird
yeah
little dudes with guitars
but with us
us watching them so it's like that's the thing I dudes with guitars but we're just watching them
so it's like that's the thing i think it's because they're alive right now that i'm like
so that i'm it's weird but we are so if we go and see an ed sheeran tribute somewhere in a social
club when we're in we're 70s right are we gonna be watching a little boy with a guitar or is it
gonna be a 70 year old bloke with a ginger wig on it's going to be that it's going to be that because it's going to have
they're going to have to
know all of the songs
of course
it's going to have to be
someone who experienced
the young lad with the guitar
will be singing
all of the young songs
right of course
so it's going to be
someone
someone our age
a 70 odd year old bloke
horrendous
it's going to be awful
thinking out loud
thinking out loud
it's just called
talking yourself
at our age mate
thinking out loud
with the pedal and that
wow
oh it's gonna be horrible
yeah
he was good though
the tribute
I mean I love a tribute act
it's just weird
because I feel like
all the big tribute acts
like the Abba's
the David Bowie's
and all that
it's just got us thinking
who we're gonna watch
but yeah you're right
it'll be
it'll be the big ones
it'll be cool
I'll go see them
is this another thing
you're looking forward
to being old who's that I'm looking forward to being old you're always looking forward to being old you told me the idea that you were looking Bydd y rhain fawr yn dda. Bydd yn hwyl. Fe wna i fynd i weld nhw. Ydy hynny'n un peth wyt ti'n edrych ar ei fod yn hodd?
Beth dwi'n dweud? Dwi'n edrych ar ei fod yn hodd?
Dwi'n alw i'n edrych ar ei fod yn hodd.
Fe wnaethoch chi ddweud wrth i mi fod yn edrych ar ei fod yn hodd ac roeddech chi'n
rhywle ac roedd y dynion hwnnw'n gweithio â nhw ac fe wnaethoch chi ymuno â nhw ac roeddech chi'n
dweud, roedd gen i ddynion gwych a ddynion gwych gyda nhw. Rwy'n
wir yn edrych ar eu bod yn hodd.
Oherwydd gallwch chi ddod i ffwrdd â phwynau.
Ie.
Gallwch chi ddod i ffwrdd â phwynau.
Rwy'n dweud, rydych chi ddwnt eisiau peidio â gwneud unrhyw beth a ddim yn cael
blant ifanc yn edrych arno.
Rwy'n ar y steg hwnnw. Dwi'n ddim yn gwneud sgwrs. Mae'n
wirioneddol anodd. Ie. Yeah. There's a David Bowie song
about this actually.
What is it?
It's called 1111457.
It's called 999.
No, you've took me words
out of context there.
I think the problem is
because you know
when everyone goes,
you'll miss this.
Yeah.
You'll miss this.
Yeah.
I don't think they're talking
about two-year-olds.
No, two-year-olds are awesome.
They're talking about like five upwards. Yeah, yeah. That's the age you'll miss. Robin's amazing now think they're talking about two year olds no two year olds are awesome they're talking about like five upwards
yeah yeah
that's the age you'll miss
Robin's amazing now
I've seen the Jet 2 advert
yeah
right when we're looking for holidays
the Jet 2 advert
and the kids are like nine and seven
yeah
and I was like that's what you miss
is that the one with the really excited little girl on
I don't know
she keeps turning up the camera
it's like they do the hand thing
so the camera's got the hand okay and she's turning around grabbing the hand she's turning around she's like buzzing about at the camera it's like they do the hand thing so the camera's got the hand
and she's turning around
grabbing the hand
she's turning around
she's like buzzing
about absolutely everything
it's like
false advertising that
if that kid hasn't
asked for her iPad
at least once
on that advert
this is bullshit
bullshit
can I have a potato
potato
what year is it
don't do potatoes anymore
change it into euros
you loser
babadoo babadoo babadoo
it's time for
what's your beef
what's your beef
beef beef beef
Easter special
beef Easter special
beefster special
it's not really
what's your beef
okay my beef with you
because we nearly
didn't have beef
this week did we
we didn't
but then
I just remember
that in my notes
it could be your beef
it's just about you
but it could be
definitely beef
you Christopher Ramsey that's me you constantly complain I just remembered that in my notes, it could be a beef. It's just about you, but it could be. Definitely be a beef.
You, Christopher Ramsey.
That's me.
You constantly complain about having dry skin.
About how my hands are so dry.
My legs are so dry.
Look at this cut on my foot that I get all the time because my feet are so dry.
You never moisturise.
I moisturise every day.
So are you not just greasy all the time?
Can you touch stuff
can you do things
it dries
yes
because I put moisturiser
on my hands
and I feel like
I've literally been
dipping my hands
in fucking olive oil
and I just have to stand there
just being devastated
I've seen it
it's horrible
but what about
the rest of your body though
why don't you put moisturiser
on your feet
then put your socks on
what the hell
I'll be four months
of health and safety nightmare.
I'll be falling all over.
It's absolutely not.
It dries, I swear to God.
No.
Stop moaning about being dry all the time
and that you've got your cuts and that
and that you're so dry.
I'm so dry.
Two of me toes literally,
they come away from me first.
Exactly, but if you moisturise
that wouldn't happen.
I don't believe that.
It's so true.
No, I don't think I believe that.
I don't believe. I don't know how men, how so true. No, I don't think I believe that. I don't.
I don't know how men, how do you skin?
What happens to you?
What do you mean?
Like, just so many blokes don't moisturise.
I moisturise my face.
I do moisturise my face.
It took us years to get on board and moisturise my face.
Fucking hated it.
I felt like I'd headbutted a kebab the first time I put moisturiser on.
But your skin.
Oh, you feel awful.
The skin on your face is the same as the skin
on your body
so that needs moisture
as well
right
buy a body moisturiser
I've got about
six of them
I don't
so I've got to like
fucking butter myself up
like
you know when you're on holiday
and you put suntan lotion on
oh god
it's the worst part of a holiday
what is this
what have I got to do this for
just to
just to maintain
your skin
I don't want to do that.
Oh, God.
So weird.
Men are so weird.
That's the thing, though.
You were downstairs,
and it's like,
should we go to bed?
Yeah, time to go to bed.
I go brush my teeth,
climb in bed, I'm done.
45 minutes later,
you roll into the fucking room,
smelling of all kinds of potions and that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a lifestyle.
It's horrendous.
Do you think I enjoy doing it? Do you think i enjoy taking makeup off every night and bloody creaming and lashing myself up for bed
i hate it but i don't want to i don't want to age you know quickly right okay no i don't know i'm
not it's the feel of moisturiser i'm not on board with it well then stop whinging that you're dry
well no because i am dry i've got dry i're dry. Well, no, because I am dry.
I've got dry knuckles. I'm dry.
I've got dry knuckles.
Oh, you're dry.
I...
Here's yourself.
I...
I'll sandpaper my crotch over here.
Ah!
Take that back.
That's probably the most
offensive thing you've ever
said to me
I'm not dry
I'm still
I can still get wet
like the rest of them
don't you dare
don't you put me
in that dry category yet
that was totally joking
is that a diss
to call someone dry
I think it's just
because when you get older
I'm very aware
that you just
it's hard to get wet
I don't know why though
right I don't know what happens I don't know why, though.
Right.
I don't know what happens.
I don't know.
God, isn't it so shit being a woman?
I mean... Vaginas actually dry out.
Like, they dry out.
Like, what the fuck?
Like a sandwich left on the bench in the sun.
Basically, yeah.
Like a sun-dried tomato in Spain.
Oh, God almighty.
Just fucking dry.
Ironically, sun-dried tomatoes are the oiliest bastards in the world.
I think they've had stuff added to them.
Right, okay.
But they're not very dry.
They're oily as fuck.
Okay, well, there you go.
That's what I feel like.
That's what I feel like when I've put any bit of moisture,
the tiniest bit of moisturiser on the back of one of my hands,
I feel like a sun-dried tomato flopping and squirming
and slithering around the house.
That's how I can describe it. I don't like doing it stop it i don't give a shit just stop whinging him stop showing us you get open wounds in that put some
moisturiser on i feel like if i show you what do you think i'm tough oh no i don't i think you're
a dick who needs a moisturiser what's your beef with me my beef with you is now i wrote this i
went back through my beefs because i didn't have i didn't have a more recent one um because i've been a joy no because you've actually been further than
a joy like awful to the point of where but we can't talk on the podcast because we might end
up genuinely arguing um so there's some things we've had there we've had there um what do you
call it like flag and just put aside until we're okay with i've got really bad pms yeah i do take
a lot of responsibility for that all Living with a fucking nuclear warhead.
Well, listen, I'm going to...
I mean, I don't know why we're telling this on the podcast,
but I'm going to ring the doctors
because I might have to go on a pill or something.
I'm going to ring the doctors.
You might get out with getting a vasectomy, you know.
Well, that has been the long plan.
That has been the long game.
Yeah.
My hormones are just out of control at the minute.
And I know they are.
I'm going to address it. Living with a very, very angry person. Yeah. I'm not at the minute and I know they are I'm going to address it
I'm a very angry person
I'm not at the minute though
the last day has been great
lovely
no one used to say and breathe
I'm like and bleed
lovely
brilliant
so a while ago I wrote in my phone
that you basically, Rafe gets bathed on a night and then I give him to you brilliant so a while ago I wrote in my phone that
you
basically
Rafe gets bathed on a night
and then I give him to you
and then
you basically sit with him
on your knee
and tell me
to do a load of things
because
yeah
why
well you're like
get his nappy
get his toothbrush
why though
do him some Weetabix
get him a drink of milk
why do I do that
where's his suit of cream
here's the towel
he's got his pyjamas
where's his sleep suit
I'll tell you why you do that
you do that because
if you get up
and start doing all that stuff
he starts crying
he literally
holds onto me leg
yeah
on a night
he's not that bad anymore
he is
tell the truth
are you still
dining out
on
yeah
there we go
I've baited you into it
right
he's not as bad
he's a big fan
he's a big fan of daddy
at the minute
and I could actually
he could sit and watch
a telly quite happily
and you could get up
and do a few things
but you seem to have
just fallen into the
the groove
of I'll sit here
like fucking
jab at the hut
that's a horrible
that was nothing
to do about your size
it was about to
do more about the fact
that he doesn't move he just stays on his little new about your size it was about to do more about the fact that he doesn't move
he just stays on his
little plinth
right
it was nothing to do
with that
I
okay
someone else then
I didn't mean
Jabba the
it's more that he
doesn't move
just sits there
and like
and just gets people
to do stuff
and let me run around
and I think now
you could probably
pitch in as well
but still there's me running around cereal And I think now, you could probably pitch in as well. Right.
But still, there's me running around,
cereal, toast, fucking milk.
Oh my God.
All of it.
Like, seriously?
It's not that big a deal.
It's not that big a deal.
I will happily do it.
Okay.
Tonight's nice.
To be honest with you,
I'd do it better.
You're claiming you'd make it better.
We have exactly...
Well, I don't understand.
So you're saying that I have to...
Why do I have to ask for everything?
The routine is the same every single night. It's been the same for two years. Why don't understand. So you're saying that I have to, why do I have to ask for everything? The routine is the same every single night.
It's been the same for two years.
Why don't you just bring him down, team me,
and why don't you just go and grab his nappy,
his llamas, his sleeping bag,
a drink of milk and some cereal?
Why don't you just go grab all of them things
at the same time?
Why do I have to ask for them still?
Not an octopus.
Not an octopus.
It's ridiculous.
Can't grab all them.
And two, I'm always trying to get out of it.
Have a little sit down.
Why though?
Just do it.
I'm tired, man.
I'm fucking tired, mate.
Sick of it.
Tired.
Right?
Well done.
So there you go.
Genuinely, sorry.
The Jabba the Hutt thing just came out.

I know.
Really not cool.

Oh, full name.
Thank you very much.
Hi, guys.
Hope you are well.
After just listening to episode 124 regarding the midwife walking in on a guy licking out
his missus during labour, I...
Ah, that classic.
That was a while ago.
Yeah, that was a while ago. I'd actually forgotten classic. That was a while ago. Yeah, that was a while ago.
That was a long time ago.
I thought,
after hearing how grossed out Chris was
about the fluids the chap was covered in,
I thought I'd send you in this little story
about how I got my name.
Wow.
My mother was quite unwell
when she was in labour with me,
unfortunately.
Right.
Quite a chesty cough,
runny nose,
et cetera, et cetera.
Oh, gosh gosh after a contraction
my mother had a bit
of a coughing fit
and a large globule
globule
globule
phenomenal word
good word
of mucus
came flying out
of her mouth
and somehow went
into the midwife's mouth
while she was telling
my mother to breathe
the midwife swallowed
stop
stop
oh my god my mother to breathe. The midwife swallowed. Stop!
Oh my god!
As if you thought you could just keep breathing.
Fucking, that is my worst nightmare.
That is my genuine
worst nightmare. Okay, would you rather?
Oh god. Would you rather?
Lick me out just after I'd given
a natural birth?
Oh.
All right.
Or the unnatural birth.
Right.
Still going to be
very grimy down there.
Oh, God.
Or would you rather
that a stranger
phlegmed in your mouth?
Yeah, first one.
It would have to be
the first one
because I know you.
You would do the first one.
I'm not getting a stranger
phlegming in my mouth.
For real?
I'm not getting
a pregnant stranger just direct hit in my mouth yeah oh no oh god oh jesus christ um
do you not remember all of the stuff that comes like the smeg man that's literally around the
baby's head yeah but you didn't put a time limit on it what do you mean i mean you didn't put a
time limit on what i have to do i'd literally just go and I'm done and I just went mouthwash
wash my face
dentist
set myself on fire
do you know what I mean
just a quick
and then done
sexy
so hang on
so I went
and the midwife
washed her
and the midwife
swallowed
and then looked
absolutely mortified
and ran out of the room
to be sick no doubt.
When she came back in, my
mother, by way of apology, said
she would name her baby after her.
So that's how I got my name.
I'm named
Moira Hindley.
I'm named after
a midwife who swallowed my mother's mucus during labour
poor midwife
what's her name
Moira Hindley
I didn't mean it
she'll have had to check that name
you wouldn't do that
name me baby after you
Edwina
sorry to any Edwinas listening
that's why I picked the killer Sorry to any Edwina's listening Oh god
That's why I picked
That's why I picked the killer
Yeah
Babadoo babadoo babadoo bah
Hi Rosie and Chris
I was reminiscing with my friend
About the night out we used to have
When we were younger
When she reminded me of this story
We were in the queue
For the toilets at a club
It was about 2am
So you can imagine the condition
They were in by now
Oh god yeah
One of the stalls nearest us opened and two girls walked out,
one of them crying.
Right.
She said that she'd dropped her phone in the toilet
and that it had stopped working.
We were pretty drunk, so we started to console her.
I totally get this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I remember when you famously gave that crying girl
whose dress had snapped a brand new cardigan.
And she obviously just left.
She never tried to give me that back.
No, because she couldn't have a night out because her dress was fucked.
But why didn't you take it back to the bar?
Because you gave her it.
I wish I'd never give her it.
It was really nice.
Where was she going to go?
It's not like have that for a bit.
You gave her it to have for the night out.
Yeah.
You're a silly sausage.
I know
I'll never forget that
oh man
it was such a nice cardigan
quite expensive as well
like
back then
when I very much
used to shop at Primark
this possibly was like
a River Island one
yeah
do you know what I mean
good 35 foot
anyway
so we were pretty drunk
so we started to console her
telling her to pop it in rice
when she got home
and it would suck all the water out of it.
And piss.
Yeah.
Not sure how true that is, but that's a normal go-to solution.
I have riced a lot of my phones in my day.
It does.
Really?
Yeah, for real.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, you've obviously gone too far.
Good grief.
It's worked for me loads.
Wow.
So you buy it, egg fried rice, from the Chinese stateway,
and you just put your phone in,
and then how long have you got to leave it for?
Are you...
I'm joking, I'm lying.
Yeah, it's dry rice.
Wow.
Anyway, we're not sure if she misunderstood what we were saying
because she proceeded to suck the toilet water
out of the bottom
of her phone
where the charger hole was.
We did stop her
after we got over
the initial shock
but it was the grimmest thing
we'd ever seen
and I really hope
she didn't get off
with any poor lads
after that.
Oh my god.
Or lasses.
Sucking toilet water
out of your phone.
Not good is it?
How important
is that phone?
Very important.
Oh my God.
Kids nowadays
love the phones.
I've got an Insta video
half uploaded.
Horrible, that like.
Oh, stranger toilet water piss.
Yeah.
Yak.
Dear Chris and Rosie,
enclosed in this email are three videos of my annoying as fuck boyfriend.
For the past five nights now, he's been snoring like this
and only last night shut the fuck up.
Finally.
Now, the only difference last night was he had no beer.
Yes, he's a borderline alcoholic.
Aren't we all?
Although, he's saying it's because he changed his pillow,
which I think is total crap.
So,
do you want to hear this guy snoring?
Is it worse than mine?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Right.
But it's a bit weird
that I've now saved them from my phone
and I've got a random man
snoring on my computer.
I think that's great.
But I just thought
let's have a little listen, eh?
Okay.
I think it's about the same as yours.
You ready?
Yeah. I think it's about the same as yours Ready? Yeah
Not too bad is it?
Wow
What's the outside noise?
It's the rain in the background as well
Oh right I thought that was a fucking train
So she sent three of them
That's the first one
The second one's pretty much the same
This one I feel like
He's just about to wake up
Right
Or he's dying
Listen she got a fright and started her phone didn't she
what's happened to him
she got a fright and started her phone
what's happened to him
oh god
that's amazing
wow
got another one
really
got a few
okay
another person
yeah so listen to this
hi Rosie and Chris
can't wait to see you in Cardiff in November
with my girlfriend
whose snoring is featured.
Please get me anonymous.
Please find attached
to the snoring
which buzzed
particularly loud
after a few beers
on an all-inclusive holiday.
Nice to have a female snorer
can I just say.
This is getting very
man-hatery of the snoring.
I voice noted her
these clips of her snoring
because I wanted
some proper sympathy
for having to try
and sleep through it.
Also, didn't Chris once have a sketch
about how snoring is like someone yelling,
I'm having a really good sleep?
Yeah.
If I've mixed that up with another comedian,
maybe skip this bit.
No, no, no.
It was an actual,
it was a viral tweet is what that was.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is the girlfriend snoring.
Yeah.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
It's a lot more delicate.
I don't think that's anywhere near as bad.
it's annoyingly not as bad
as the fella.
Nowhere near,
nowhere near,
right,
okay.
Well,
hang on,
I've got another one as well.
After talking about
Chris snoring this week,
I thought I would share
this soundbite from last week.
Our one-and-a-half-year-old had ended up in our bed at two in the morning.
After eventually convincing her to sleep,
I was lying there trying to get back to sleep,
and she starts to snore, getting louder.
But what you can also hear in the background is her dad,
who decided to roll to his back in our little double bed
and join in with her snoring.
Needless to say,
very little sleep
was had by me
in my other half
and daughter slept
soundly through the night,
both looking refreshed
while I looked like
I'd been dragged
through a hedge backwards.
So you've had
boyfriend,
girlfriend,
and now this is
the one and a half year old
daughter and the dad.
Fantastic.
Which I can totally relate to
because when Robin's
in our bed
and sometimes Rafe and yous are all knocking out the snows yeah i want to die so i think this is the worst
one are you ready okay okay okay i wonder if they're doing it in tandem stereo or sort of like
you know like row row your boat so the dad's in the background you're gonna have to try and
listen to that but the daughter's in the background. You're going to have to try and listen to that. But the daughter's in the forefront. Ready?
Yeah.
What is that? They're doing it like
Row, row, row your boat
They're doing it like
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Merrily, merrily, merrily
It's how I imagine bears sleep in the woods
They're doing it they're doing it
they're doing it
in tandem
so like she
when he's up
she's down
and when she
oh perfect
that is the
they have somehow
managed to make it
the most continuous
amount of noise
the most unbroken noise
it's because kids
breathe
and it's because
they've got some
molar lungs
they breathe really fast
but he's obviously
like you know
a fully grown adult
he's like
as he sort of troughs she she's peeking and troughing.
Oh, fucking great.
Feel for you.
So that's the snoring.
We got sent a few snoring this week.
I thought I'd share with you.
So let's just say here, objectively,
the man and the daughter were pretty good.
The guy on his own was brilliant.
The girlfriend was all right.
Yeah, yeah.
So would you say that men are better at snoring
than women
it's not a competition
I would say
I would say
I would say
is all
wow
yeah
something like men
well done congratulations
are better at than women
have a little handshake
I can't reach your hands
since I put them
on your desk on
good game
hey
well done fellas
we did it
we finally did it.
She's admitted it.
We are better at snoring.
Hey, lads, go out into the world and snore your tits off.
Couple of beers lie on your back.
Round of applause.
Go on, you warthogs here.
Well done.
Let's talk about shit, baby. Let's talk about shit, baby.
Let's talk about poo and wee.
Let's talk about all the good shits and the bad shits that may be.
Let's talk about shit.
Let's talk about shit.
With a little bit of shit.
Let's talk about shit.
Shag married and shit.
Yes, mate.
Well done.
Oh, that harmony was beautiful.
Well done. I am Ed Sheeran. yes mate yeah well done oh that harmony was beautiful well done
I am
Ed Sheeran
so
you'll be Ed Sheeran's
tribute act
I'll be there
all I've got to do
is learn how to sing
learn the guitar
and
die your head
I already know the words
of most of the songs
so yeah
hey Rosie and Chris
this is a story
I've thought about
sharing with you guys
but after listening
to episode 196 with the woman who hates shit stories,
but then proceeded to tell her tale of crapping herself in a tanning salon,
I thought, why not?
Do you remember that?
I remember that.
It's a shit story.
It's disgusting.
By the way, I shat all over the sunbeds.
Pick a lane, love.
Pick a fucking lane.
I work for Royal Mail.
Right.
And this happened at an old office of mine okay when you
are out on a round sorry is this derogatory are we gonna get in trouble here i don't think so
okay no it's very much the shame should live with the guy sending this in okay so if later on in the
story actually i don't know i don't know what's next yeah if later on the story we realize that
this is derogatory the company that this person works for,
there will be a moment where Rosie says,
I work for,
and there'll be a second of silence.
That's because we'll quickly edit out the name.
Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries.
Oh, tricks of the trade. I don't want to get sued.
I don't want to get sued.
I don't want to get sued.
Right, okay.
This happened in an old office of mine.
When you are out on a round,
one of the first things you need to figure out
is where your toilet stops are.
Right.
Tricks of the trade.
I've often thought of that as a postman, like where you're shitting and pissing.
Yeah, or post lady.
Thank you very much.
Oh, sorry.
God, you are stuck in the dark ages, aren't you?
Al, listen, keep up with me.
Postperson.
Here I come.
Postperson.
We're learning, aren't we, darling?
Postperson.
What about dogs, though?
What about dogs that send letters? Oh. Post being. Post being. Post person. We're learning, aren't we, darling? We're learning. Post person. What about dogs, though? What about dogs that send letters?
Oh.
Post being.
Post being.
Post being.
This usually isn't an issue when you are delivering in a town or a city,
but when you are in a rural area, things can get dicey.
Right, yes.
All right.
This is exciting.
One round I used to do was based in three villages.
Not one, not two, but three villages.
Thrice village ice.
Yeah.
The only toilet stop was a pub in the final village.
I'll get to on the round.
I'd get to on the round.
Yeah, yeah, the final one.
However, that was closed on Mondays.
Oh.
I'd gotten on well with a number of the locals
who I'd imagined would be fine with me using their toilets.
Yeah, that wouldn't be a plan.
Yeah, we're...
No offence.
Don't come knocking on our door to piss.
Sorry.
If we don't know you.
Oh, has that been posted yet?
Can you have a shot at my toilet?
Absolutely not.
Be on your way.
So we had that in there.
Would we let the male guy?
Yeah, I would.
Or lady.
Well, I was his a guy, so...
Or lady.
What are you going to do?
Oh, well, listen.
No.
So if a lady rocks up one... You're oh well listen no so if a lady rocks up
you're totally doing this wrong
if a lady rocks up one day
I'd go
you're new
right
you can't shit in my toilet
but the guy
why
why
but the guy
who I know a bit better
prove yourself
listen
you hold that shit in
for another six months
of uninterrupted postage
and I might let you shit
in my toilet
just left the elastic band on them, let us.
Yeah.
I like it when you get a free elastic band.
I bloody love it.
So hang on.
So he's imagining that all of the,
that most of them would let him use the lid.
Yeah.
However, sometimes you get a movement coming
and you just know that you can't subject anyone else to it.
Oh, God.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, rumbler.
Yeah.
So as it happens, it's a Monday,
and I reach my second village,
and I feel like I need to go.
Oh, gosh.
I don't want to ask anyone to do the dirty deed in their home.
It's a 15-minute drive back to the office,
and I have about an hour left,
so I feel I might as well clench and soldier on.
Yeah, and it's also one of them jobs that you've got a lot of walking.
A lot of walking there. I know. It's not like you jobs that you've got a lot of walking, a lot of walking there.
I know.
It's not like you can sit still.
It's such a tricky,
honestly,
if I was a post lady person,
I'd just have a little potty.
A big nappy.
I'd have a potty in the back of the van.
You'd just wear a big post nappy.
No.
I would, I'd have a big post nappy
made out of like,
like one of the jiffy envelopes.
Oh no, with the bubbles,
with the bubble wrap.
Yeah, yeah, and I'll just shit myself and walk.
Horrendous.
You're disgusting.
No, I'd have some sort of potty device.
In your van.
Like builders and that.
Right.
I believe they have a bucket.
Well, then maybe they'll just have a bucket.
Yeah, good.
As I'm delivering through the village,
the need grows.
And I can tell that this isn't going to be
a solid one either.
Oh, my word.
How do you know that? I don't know. Do you know that? It's one of the ones where you're doing it that this isn't going to be a solid one either jesus how do you know that
do you know it's one of the ones where you're doing it fought in it it's one of the ones where
you're absolutely doing it fought yeah come on then as i reach the end of the village and i
don't know about you listening i am imagining the village is like postman pat's yes lovely
yeah in in my mind they're about uh they're about to destroy a beautiful beautiful bit of the
british countryside in my opinion yeah um i reached beautiful bit of the British countryside, in my opinion.
I reach the end of the village.
I can't take any more.
It's banging at the door and I have no option.
I've left it too late to head back.
I have to go.
What have they done?
I was approaching a place in the village that I knew there would be no passers-by.
The residents were never home during weekdays and next door was vacant.
They know this village really fucking well. pass us by. The residents were never home during weekdays and next door was vacant. He knows this
village really fucking well.
So, the residents are never
home during the week. Obviously got a very good
job. And the next door
was vacant. I looked around the
garden for options. I didn't want to go
close to the house in case of CCTV
or a risk of discovery.
So for some reason, I decided the best
course of action... Do you want to guess?
No.
I don't know.
I decided the best course of action
was to squat over their pond.
Oh, for fuck's sake, no!
Don't do it in the corner!
Don't shit in their pond!
What the hell?
I figured it would be disguised amongst
the already murky looking water.
They are pretty dirty.
Oh, God.
Oh, no, man.
Just fucking do it in the grass
and kick it in.
Do it in some soil
and kick some soil over it.
Like a dog?
Yes.
Like a dog?
Yes, exactly like a fucking dog.
Not into a pond
where it's going to float
and disintegrate.
Oh, you dirty,
dirt on the Queen's postal route as well stop it good grief the relief was instant and i luckily had a number
of the something for you cards to use when we can't deliver parcels in my pocket oh the cards
to use as i said that totally wrong uh to use as makeshift toilet paper. We've missed you, Cods.
Yeah.
And mopped up the rest of the mess with my underwear,
which I then shoved with the Cods into the general waste.
Oh, my God, you toyed it in the bin.
Over the next few days, I felt a great shame at the event,
but figured I'd gotten away with it without anyone noticing.
Got away with that for a couple of days.
Got over it, did you?
For a couple of days, I felt bad shitting in their pond,
but by Saturday, I felt quite justified
that I defecated in their water feature.
I think after you've had a couple of more shits,
you sort of forget that shit, don't you?
It's horrible, that like.
That was until a couple of weeks later,
when in passing from someone else I had heard,
it was quite the village scandal
that someone had pooed in their pond.
If you want to
poo in a pond, you better do it in the big city where
people don't chat. If you're going to shit in a
pond, don't be doing it anywhere where they've got
a local
community going on.
Nowhere with a WhatsApp group.
I mustered up a
how disgusting, who would do that
before rushing off back
to my van to die in embarrassment.
Because I walk around, I'm now the person they have to get.
They elected me to keep an eye out for the phantom shitter.
For a long time after that, I felt the fear of death every time I went to that property to deliver,
especially when they were in.
I can't help but wonder what they must have thought when they found out.
How they found out? Do they think they were targeted? Were they't help but wonder what they must have thought when they found out. How they found
out. Do they think they were targeted?
Were they sure it was a human?
Do foxes shit in ponds?
That's it.
And that's it.
How did they know? That's the thing.
How did they know? There must have been bits of shit
floating in there. There must have been, because, you know, it's never
all liquid, is it? There must have been bits of
actual shit floating in the pond. They must have went out to feed the fish i'll check on their
frogs but yeah i might have gone to the top some people really do look after their ponds
horrendous that imagine though finding human shit in your pond you just be like why has this happened
sorry some people really do look after their ponds chris they can they can tell if you're
shatting them and everything some Some people really do. Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, brilliant.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.
That story just reminded me, though.
Did you know when I went through my indie boy phase?
I didn't know you then, but I do, yeah.
Yeah.
Me and my mate used to...
Can you remember the...
Shit and bonds.
Can you remember the red elastic bands
that the postman used to use, or woman,
used to use that they had around the letters and stuff? The red ones. I used to see them on the floor all the time, used to drop them, the red elastic bands that the postman used to use, or woman, used to use that they had around the letters and stuff.
The red ones.
You used to see them on the floor all the time.
You used to drop them.
Red elastic bands.
All right, okay.
Me and my mate used to wear them on my wrists on nights out.
Oh.

Why?
That was so cruel.
Why?
What, that you found on the floor from the...

I'm getting ready for night.
You're going to see me in the pub, right?
You're going to see me in the pub.
I mean, probably not,
because we're not going to the same pubs,
because you're all going to play
horrible, chavvy dance music. Pop world. No, I used to go pop world. Yeah, you're going to Flair's or something. Yeah, Flair's, obviously. I'm going to see me in the pub I mean probably not because we're not going to the same pub because you're going with a play horrible chavvy dance music

And one particular night,

Hi, Chris and Rosie.
Please keep me anonymous
as I'm not sure
if the person this is about
listens.
My fiancé's brother
lives with us
and constantly wears
a skip cap
every time he leaves the house.
He takes it off
when back in his bedroom.
What's a skip cap?
What's a skip cap?
I don't know.
These might be American.
Are we going to have to Google
what a skip cap is?
Is it like
one of the big ones?
I'm thinking flat cap, yeah.
No, I don't know.
Skip.
Spell S-K-I-P.
S-K-I-P. S-K-I-P.
Like the, yeah,
the kangaroo.
Very outdated reference.
Apologies to all of the
Gen Z.
It's just a cap.
Right.
Is it Australian
or American or something?
What the hell?
It's just a cap.
It's just a cap.
Okay, that's fine.
That's alright.
But now I'm,
now I'm in a bit of a
rabbit hole of what?
What?
Skip cap.
What is it?
Why do your face look so confused right now?
I feel like something's missing.
Did you think it wouldn't come up?
Well, I thought it was going to be something excited,
but it's just a cap.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
It's okay.
Put the mouse away.
Put the mouse down.
You can get a never skip leg day cap.
Right.
That's getting bored.
Right. way put the mouse down you can get a never skip leg day cap right that's getting bored right that's that's a cap i want to wear horrendous please don't um so he takes it off every time
he has it on when he leaves the house takes it off when he's back in his bedroom okay
one morning i woke up for work and his hat was lay on the sofa not thinking anything of it i
went to move it when I noticed something inside it.
Right.
I picked it up
and there was a printed out
picture of his girlfriend
inside the hat.
So essentially,
when he puts his hat on,
his girlfriend
is on his forehead.
What year is it?
Has he not got a phone?
How far is your background
on your phone?
Is he,
has he gone to war?
Is he in World War I? I don't know. Does he leave the phone? Has he gone to war?
Is he in World War I?
Does he leave the house?
Is this Goodnight Sweetheart?
Does he leave the house and go down a back lane?
And he's in the 20s?
What in the name of God is going on?
Is he panting a bear?
What is happening?
He's keeping a picture in a hat.
Me and my fiancé found this to be really weird. And when we asked him about it, he said it's because he doesn't in a hat. Me and my fiance found this to be really weird.
And when we asked him about it, he said it's because he doesn't carry a wallet.
Please tell me you find this just as weird.
It's really weird.
How is your background?
I mean, it's sweet.
It is sweet.
But how is your background on your phone?
I just, I feel like a picture by the side of the bed
would be just as nice.
Or do you think it's in case he meets people
and they go oh you're seeing someone and he's like yeah and they're like oh you got a picture
and right right he'd be like yeah i sure do here right in my head yeah first of all um
i mean everything about that possible interaction freaks me out just like someone's randomly asking to see someone
yeah yeah yeah I am yeah got a picture what you don't believe
is like bit of a weird question although
to your weird question I
raise you weird
photo in hat aren't we weird
there she is there right
just wipe the forehead grease off that there
oh I know bit crumbled off
my skip cap skip cap just a cap
mate don't worry
about it why did you say skip cap don't know uh what if it's hot and it sweats all over and then
you get like you know when you leave a magazine yeah and it gets wet yeah on a table what if he
gets a little printed photo of her on his forehead i mean everything about that's weird it is weird
it's really again a little bit sweet like i imagine does he live in some kind of like fairy
tale land where he feels like
he's going to be like
hit by a bus
and the last moment
he's just going to have to
like whip his cap up
and look at a photo
