You're invited to an immersive listening party led by Rishi Keshe Herway, the visionary behind the groundbreaking Song Exploder podcast and Netflix series.
This unmissable evening features Herway and Toronto Symphony Orchestra music director Gustavo Gimeno in conversation.
Together, they dissect the mesmerizing layers of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, followed by a complete soul-stirring rendition of the famously unnerving piece, Symphony Exploder.
April 5th at Roy Thompson Hall.

This Friday.
You must be very careful, Margaret.
It's a girl.
Witness the birth.
Bad things will start to happen.
Evil things.
Of evil.
It's all.
No, don't.
The first omen.
I believe the girl is to be the mother.
Mother of what?
Is the most terrifying... 666 is the mark of the devil.
Movie of the year.
It's not real.
It's not real.
Who said that?
The First Omen.
In theatres Friday.
Gits and Gits Now.
Hello, you're listening to Shagmardanoid with me, Rosie Ramsey, and my husband, Christopher Ramsey.
Hello, how are you?
Nice to see you guys.
Hi.
How am I?
Yes.
I'm good.
Good.
Thanks very much.
I'm knackered.
Oh, God.
Knackered.
All them nights getting up with the kids.
No.
Hang on.
No, no, no.
What are you knackered for?
I was up all night queuing for the new iPhone, wasn't I?
Is there a new iPhone, is there?
How dare you?
Do people still queue for new iPhones?
You know that I am
at the forefront of iPhones.
Which one is it now?
15? 15 Pro Max.
Mine's a 12.
Wow, I'm well behind.
All the lads, all night,
absolutely goosed all over.
Queued all night, got it.
Honestly, it's exactly the same.
What's the difference?
Exactly the same.
I'm obviously joking.
I didn't cue for the new iPhone.
I saw a video this morning, man, in Dubai.
There was like record crowds in the mall in Dubai,
like a fucking flash mob.
Seriously?
Thousands of them.
Utter wankers.
Honestly, if you're listening to this now on your new iPhone
that you queued up overnight for,
press pause, delete your fucking podcast app.
We don't want you.
You're a fucking loser.
You can't say that.
No, people have got hobbies.
That's not a hobby.
It is.
They like to have the new stuff.
Pathetic.
It's a very expensive hobby.
Pathetic.
It's barely...
I mean, then again, they've come out and said
it might be more powerful of a games console
than a PlayStation 5,
but I'll believe that when I say it.
But, oh, God, you just saw them all. And the get it they're like oh and what are you going to do
on that the same fucking thing you were doing on the other one when you're in the queue exactly the
same yeah straight on instagram straight on twitter oh i've got my new phone brilliant and it's over
loser can't bear them i found a really old one the other day do you remember i do yeah oh my which
one is it it's tiny it's the one it's crazy tiny. It's the one that they did where all the backs were different colours.
So it's the blue back,
but they were all different colours.
Aye.
Yeah.
Robin found it
and he was like,
this can be my phone.
I was like, absolutely not.
And then he smashed it.
Dropped it within three seconds.
Smashed it almost immediately.
It was literally 10 minutes
of him having it.
And he smashed it.
And that's why children don't have phones.
Exactly.
Oh, I'm really looking forward
to being that mum
who doesn't give him a phone.
Can't wait.
Can't wait for him to hate us.
Oh, 100%.
100%.
He's still now asking to take his iPad to school.
Robin, you want a phone,
you queue up all night like your dad did.
In Dubai.
In Dubai.
Get on that plane.
You've got to earn it.
Oh my gosh.
We've had a couple of weeks off.
Well, we haven't.
We recorded them in advance, didn't we?
Because I was away filming.
Quite nice.
Yeah.
So I think it's verbal diarrhea
because diarrhea,
because we've just got back.
I've just got back.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Listen, it's episode 200.
Sorry, I'm just so excited about my new phone.

It's episode...
Oh God, it does all the same things as the last one.
I do actually need my battery.
It goes down really quick.
No, no, no.
Where's my rolled up newspaper? I'll hit you in the nose with it. No, you're things as the last one. I do actually need my battery. It goes down really quick. No, no, no. Where's my rolled up newspaper?
I'll hit you in the nose with it.
No, you're not getting a new one.
No.
I want a little one.
I got the big one for being on the train
and watching stuff,
but I can't...
Honestly, I can't do it.
It's heavy going.
I think the big ones,
it's like massive.
It's horrible.
It's like someone's put an iPad on a hot wash.
Listen, it's episode 237.
I hope you're all all right out there.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for being here.
We bloody love you being part of this little daft gang
that we've got going on.
And without further ado,
it's time for this week's lucrative, lucrative sponsor.
This week's sponsor is...
Seeing a leaf blow across the patio
and always assuming it's a rat.
Oh, yeah.
It's my life now.
It's my life now.
Because we've had rats in houses in the past.
Oh, they're just... Sadly oh they're just sadly they're everywhere
and they love to make
themselves known to us
which makes us feel
like the dirtiest house
on the street
and I hate it
I'm like
have the rats
said hello to you
next door
no have they not
have they said hello
to you
no just us
great
love us
love us
and I hate them
they must be fans
of the podcast
but yeah
every time I'll be sitting just sitting watching the telly or something and if the windows or the patio doors next to us and I hate them they must be fans of the podcast but every time
I'll be sitting
just sitting watching
the telly or something
and if the windows
or the patio door
is next to us
and something runs past
I'm like oh god
always a leaf
I do have to say
I do love that you
don't tell me about
the rats for a long time
first day I moved in
I saw one
first day we moved in
I saw one
it was
because a guy said
don't have
little tip for everyone

the other end of your garden as far away from your house as you can because it all seeds that
drop on the floor that's rat toby carvery yeah essentially is the crack what he taught is exact

because it's a buffet

just a rat buffet
rat buffet is perfect.
A rat buffy?
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, whatever.
Oh, Jesus.
Move them away.
But do you know what it is?
Some people love shit like that, though.
Some people love.
Not rats.
You can't.
Some people do.
You can be as much of an animal lover as you want, right?
But like, all right, if you've got a pet rat, fair enough.
But wild rats and wasps are two things that even animal lovers have to go fuck
off like there's no chance like oh i love wasps where's me where's me oh wasps are my favorite
animal no chance do you know what i mean wasp was your favorite animal but bees are canny but bees
do stuff don't they yeah bees are yeah bees are wasps are just tossers they're just like flies

she might listen,
she might not.
My best friend Steph,
she's terrified of wasps, right?
She's terrified of birds.
She's terrified of birds.
She's just terrified of stuff, right?
But like,
I just,
What are you scared of?
Stuff.
She's just scared of that.
And I just,
I really hate it
when people are scared of wasps
because I'm like,
they're tiny
and I just don't know. What does he, no of wasps because I'm like, they're tiny.
And I just don't know.
What does he do?
No, but there's that worst one.
A wasp comes over, everyone's like, ah, ah.
And you're like, oh my God.
Just give it a whack.
Just give it a whack.
Come and live in my house for a week.
When I used to work at Allsports,
when I used to work at Allsports back in the day,
I would stand at the door and I got a little tickle up my sleeve on my left arm and I touched it
and it was a wasp went up my sleeve and stung me in the arm.
And I was like, oh.
And it went all red.
And the manager was like, oh, keep an eye on that.
If you have a reaction, you'll have to leave.
And I was like, come on, reaction.
It didn't happen.
No, a bit of red thing disappeared.
I think I've been stung by a hornet thing, what are they called?
Eh?
What are they?
A horn fly.
What are they called?
Horse fly.
You've been bitten by a horse fly?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, they're horrible, them. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don Horse fly. You've been bitten by a horse fly? Yeah. Oh yeah, they're horrible then.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think I've been stung by a wasp.
Maybe.
A bit, maybe.
I don't know.
Anyway.
It's just the way people react.
Like in the tiny.
Don't get me wrong, they're not nice to me.
I will scoot them away and I don't like them.
But you can just shoot your gun.
Yeah.
What is the, spoiler alert here, at the end of My Girl, what does him in?
Bees.
Bee.
How many bees?
Loads of them as a nest.
Loads of bees?
Yeah.
I've never seen that film.
Oh why?
And I always remember
thinking it was really soppy
and it is quite soppy
but then someone says
oh yeah at the end
I thought it was a joke
for years I thought
people winding us up
were like oh yeah
he gets
he's literally in the casket
and she's like
he needs his glasses
he can't see without his glasses.
Oh Jesus. It's heroin. She's a brilliant actress. Oh I just went all tingly. Brought back loads of memories. in the casket and she's like he needs his glasses he can't see without his glasses oh Jesus
it's heroin
she was a brilliant actress
oh I just went all tingly
brought back loads of memories
I used to watch that
just to cry
when I was a kid
I remember
we will unpack that later
I remember
my girl 2 was a thing
yeah I can't remember
I remember the advert
of my girl 2
I remember the line
on the advert
where she was like
I'm 12 years old
I think it's about time
I got my own apartment
and I remember thinking
oh she's an arsehole
yeah
did you go to Paris
oh probably
the sequel's always
in Paris isn't it
it's always in Paris
she went somewhere
why was the sequel
to every single
90s film or cartoon
that either went
Australia or Paris
I know
I can't believe he died
rescuers down under
oh I love that
can you believe he died
as if he died
in real life
I think he's still alive
horrible
yeah I know
but in the show
it was a kids show
yeah
god we had some
really
really bad
like films in that
when we were a kid
now bad happens
in stuff now
yeah but when you go back
and watch other stuff
that we watched
when we were kids
yeah some of it
was probably fucked up
heroin
yeah
we're talking about
the Templar Doom.
Indiana Jones.
We started watching,
not Templar Doom,
one of them,
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
No, the other one.
The first one.
Oh, God.
Oh, yeah, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
And yeah, the guy got
a load of spikes on him
and Robin just burst into tears.
I know.
It was horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
Where does she go in My Girl 2?
Oh, God.
Oh, so Shelley concocts a plan
for her to go to Los Angeles
so it wasn't Paris. Oh, Jesus. concocts a plan for her to go to Los Angeles so it wasn't Paris.
Oh Jesus.
Right, well then my entire,
my entire observation
about everyone going to Paris
is gone.
Brilliant.
Furious.
Oh, I'm getting home alone.
Oh yeah, so the sequel
sees the main character
visiting Los Angeles
to learn about her mother
who died two days
after giving birth to her.
Jesus.
Fucking comedy.
Keep it light, my girl.
Macaulay went in
the first one.
Oh,
bless her.
And then Amaz did.
She wants her own
apartment.
Get away from it all.
She does need a
weekend in Paris.
In gay Paris.
Brilliant.
Cheer up.
Anyway.
Wow.
I might watch it
for a little cry.
Oh,
God.
Should we do the
jingle?
So,
yeah,
go on then.
Let's crack on., let's crack on
We had a fight about the jingle
We couldn't settle on a jingle
So this is the jingle
We hope you like the jingle
Jingle
Jingle Bonjour Hope you like the jingo. Jing-go. Ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo, ba. Jing-go.
Bonjour.
Oh, there we go.
My girl, my girl, talking about.
My girl, a little weekend in Paris for you.
So Garcon's boy, what's girl?
Madame.
Madame?
No, no.
Garcon.
Feel?
Monfeel?
Monfeel.
Monfeel.
Talking about.
Monfeel. Monfeel about monfeel monfeel
might not be that
anyway look
doesn't matter
we've got a second
second sponsor
you know how
they hit them all
in the row
another sponsor here
this week's second
lucrative sponsor is
senior two has sold out
when it's technically
not sold out
oh yeah
that was fun
that was fun
that was a fun meeting
little management
got in touch
so we've been seeing,
a lot of the venues are sold out.
Wembley sold out, Newcastle Arena sold out,
Glasgow sold out,
like, you know, big old, big old arenas.
Yeah.
But we've been sitting here on this podcast
seeing everything sold out
and it's not.
There's actually,
the management were like,
look, there's actually quite a few tickets left
still for people in some of the venues.
The arenas, they're massive.
We put on second dates, didn't we?
Yeah.
Cocky.
Well, actually, personally, I didn't want to.
No, you didn't want to.
I didn't want to because I was like,
because it was sold out.
Yeah.
Fully sold out.
I thought, that's brilliant, that.
That's great.
That's sorted.
I'm buzzing with that.
Let's put some extra dates on.
Don't really want to.
No, let's put them on.
People want, they've sold out.
Right, okay, put them on.
They haven't sold out.
So now I'm like, well, I was right, wasn't I?
Yeah, but there's more people coming still.
All of them, if not one more ticket
goes for the entire tour
they're still going to be
very very full
oh yeah
in very big rooms
it's going to be great nights
it's fine
but if you would like
what
what
but I just live in a world
where
if something's done
if it's not broke
don't fix it
don't add more
right okay
but is that just my brain
yes you're being stupid
it's okay
they're all going to be great
so listen if you want to come,
shagmarinoid.com is where the link is to get all the tickets.
There are tickets for Hull, Bournemouth, Leeds,
Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Birmingham and Liverpool.
There are tickets for those.
Some extra ones are being released
because they've sold the bottoms and opened extra sections
the way they do it in Arena.
Oh, I don't understand that either.
Well, in Arena, they only open a certain amount at the front
and then they sell all them
and then they open,
it's like they sell
from the front,
essentially.
So you'll open the blocks
on the floor,
they'll all go,
then they'll open the blocks
on the side,
they'll all go,
then they'll open the blocks
further up from that
and up, up, up, up, up
all the way
and then the whole thing
gets open.
Right, I suppose that does make sense.
So, ho!
Bournemouth, Leeds,
Manchester, Nottingham,
Sheffield, Birmingham,
Liverpool.
We are busy planning
the tour at the minute.
We've got some awesome
stuff planned.
It's going to be right back.
Yeah, it's going to be right now as Rosie's getting
ready for the
church she's just
sitting there
wrapping a little
blanket around
yourself
it's gone cold
Chris
it's brilliant
the summer
what summer we
had is gone
it's bloody autumn
sick of being
clammy
I'm sick of being
clammy
I'm happy now
don't say that
because I love
autumn right
but then it gets
into the dark
depths of winter
in December
and Christmas
hasn't happened
and you're like
I just hate the dark I hate going I've said it before and I hate going to bed in the dark depths of winter in December and Christmas hasn't happened and you're like, I just hate the dark.
I hate going, I've said it before,
I hate going to bed in the dark and waking up in the dark.
It's horrible.
It's fucking miserable.
So depressing, so actually.
You come down and turn on the same lamps
you turned off when you went to bed.
It's like you've never been asleep.
Yeah, it is.
I hate it.
I hate it.
It's like, I've had people upstairs for five minutes.
Well, because Ralph's only getting older now
so he's just noticing stuff.
He comes down every morning, he's like,
it's dark outside. I'm like'm like yeah so you get up really early and that's
how seasons work yeah there we go there we go so there we go come on the two of you fancy it
and uh it will be dark nights but you know don't worry about you being a big arena having a right
fucking laugh wouldn't you wouldn't you i've got a question i've got a would you rather
it's not rude on out
I just thought about it
the other day
you don't want to hear it
no I don't I'm joking
where's it from
did you find it
I made it up
you've made it up
a would you rather
yeah
you've got too much time
on your hands
how are you then
because I was just thinking
about what my answer
would be right
would you rather
be married
to somebody
who's really good
at cooking
right
and really bad in bed
or who's really good in bed and really good at cooking. Right. And really bad in bed. Or who's really good in bed and really bad at cooking.
Well, I've got neither of them, so...
Wow.
You'll find you hit the jackpot, actually.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
You've got both.
I think I was thinking it more for me.
Okay.
I was thinking I was like,
would I rather that you are a bit worse in bed,
because you are all right in bed. Thank you. You're like, would I rather that you were a bit worse in bed because you are alright in bed.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Would I rather that you were You've gone all red.
Would I rather you were worse in bed
and you could cook
because you can't cook at all
and it kind of upsets us.
So I was like,
what would I sacrifice?
My spag bol
kicks your spag bol
all over the fucking kitchen.
It actually doesn't.
I'd say it does
but it doesn't.
Whoa.
It doesn't, Chris.
It's the one fucking thing.
But I think I would rather
that you were a little less good in bed
and you cooked a bit more.
Listen,
other kids did,
you know,
food technology.
I
was shagging the teacher.
I don't know.
Ew.
That's gross.
That is gross.
Oh.
Um,
sorry,
is all I can say.
What would you rather
I was better at?
Um,
that's not,
you,
you,
you,
you.
Can women be bad in bed?
You're a good cook,
yes.
Can,
oh.
100%.
Oh,
you wanted.
100% you wanted
what do you mean
what do you mean
okay
you just can
come on
everyone listening
come on
alright
I don't know
I don't know
you know I can talk about stuff
but you know I get quite
prudish when I talk about
so you've had some bad experiences
I mean I think just
I think everyone has
everyone's had bad sexual experiences
but yeah
I always think of the line in extras he's made
the scottish lass yes in extras yeah there's a there's a scene where she because she's always
on the polls she's always trying to pull people that's the thing and she pulls this guy who's
really fit and i think am i misremembering i'm sure they're having sex and he literally goes
while he's having sex that's like it's a it's a shot from the side and he just goes
come on love put a bit of fanny into it.
Oh, John.
It's just fucking awesome.
Yeah, all right then.
Yeah, it kind of makes sense.
Yeah, just something, just some,
I don't want to sound disgusting here, but yeah.
Yeah, I mean, as blokes can be bad, I think by, you know, being.
I think there's probably just more technique for a bloke,
isn't there? It's definitely harder for a bloke.
You've got to have a bit more momentum.
You've got to put your hips in it and that.
I know what you're doing.
Yeah.
Okay,
fair enough.
There you go.
You've answered the question.
Well,
there we go.
So.
Well,
that was awkward.
Yeah.
I didn't enjoy any of that.
Sorry about that.
What made you think of this?
Would you rather?
I was genuinely like,
would I take away some of your niceness in the bedroom
so that you could cook a chicken
in a white wine sauce every now and again?
Do you know what I mean?
I think I would.
I would sacrifice it.
But then again, no, we do have nice,
so maybe I wouldn't.
Listen, you would,
if I was then,
if I suddenly, one morning,
if your wish came true and I could suddenly knock up a good blooming,
you know, white wine, chicken and white wine sauce
or some kind of jus going on, right?
Yeah, imagine.
You would regret that 10 seconds of madness you get in that bedroom off me.
Do you think?
You would regret that.
Do you think I would?
12 seconds if it's a cold night.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
We'll see.
No, we won't see.
What are you going to do?
Send us on a cooking course and chop me knob off?
There's nothing you can do here.
No, I was thinking about something else.
Can we not talk about us having sex?
Let's talk about everyone else having sex, not us.
We've had sex twice and that was it.
I know.
Rafe, Robin, done.
Finished.
Don't look at us.
Don't you look past that microphone at me.
Ew.
Ugh. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah. Look at us. Don't you look past that microphone at me.
Something happened,
which I think most parents can relate to.
I mean, you don't know anything about this because you have nothing to do with this.
But so I don't even know if you know this.
So every week I get sent a menu for Robin.
For school.
For his school dinners.
Yeah, yeah, I know this.
I'm aware.
So there's just times when I forget right
and then I had to send it
so last night was Monday
so I sent it Monday night
and I was like
sorry it's late
here's what for the rest
of the week
and you know when you send it
and I was like
what did he eat today
nothing
did he eat
sat there
just empty plate
no you didn't
how bad is that though
I just completely forgot
well you might have got
what was left
so everyone you know
oh we all got pizza.
They all got pizza.
Oh, no, you get sausage and mash
because everyone else picked pizza.
Oh, he's been badgering us ever.
I'm sure I said this a couple of weeks ago.
Every week, can I go on packed lunches?
No, you're not going on packed lunches.
So I actually discreetly found out
who's on packed lunches.
And there's not many.
There's only about four in his class.
But the way he'd been going on at me, it was like everybody was on packed lunches and there's not many there's only about four in his class but the way he'd been
going on at me
it was like
everybody was on packed lunch
and I was like
they're not man
it's just another
massive level of shit
you have to do on a morning
isn't it
and me personally
this might be me
being a really lazy mum
but I think
if he's having a hot dinner
at school
if he's having
like mince and dumplings
or lasagna
or something like that
you can have a sandwich
for his tea you can have a sandwich for his tea he loves a bit of your tea so I'm like if he's having like mints and dumplings or lasagna or something like that. You can have a sandwich for his tea.
You can have a sandwich
for his tea.
He loves a bit of tea.
So I'm like,
no, you're having dinners, mate,
because if you have a sandwich
for your lunch,
I've got to make you
something hot for your tea
and I can't give you
a sandwich for your tea.
I bet it's just like,
it's just probably a bit boring
like getting a plate
and getting this.
I don't think he,
I don't think kids realise,
oh, this is class,
I'm getting like a hot meal here.
I think he thinks other kids are opening a box
and getting things out in wrappers
and they've got a chocolate biscuit
and they've got this and that.
I loved dinners at school.
I was salivating.
I went up for seconds.
Knew all the dinner ladies' names.
Oh, absolutely.
I loved school dinners.
The pudding, oh my God.
Best, best dinners ever
well
some days you'd get
amazing puddings
you'd get like them cakes
with the icing on top
with the sprinkles
but then some days
it would be like
really shit puddings
I know
some days you'd just get
like a shortbread biscuit
which back in the day
I did not appreciate
now I love shortbread
but back in the day
I was like
what the fuck is this
bit dry
very dry shortbread
bit dry
very dry
unless it was dipped in chocolate
sometimes that was nice
oh we used to get
a chocolate
like a crispy cake
but it was cheap
chocolate
and I think like
syrup so it would
stay together
with angel delight
on the top
oh my god
oh my god
the chocolate cake
would stick to the
roof of your mouth
you get that
with custard
I never liked custard
personally
we once at was it juniors or infant school?
I've just got to remember once we got pink custard.
Yeah.
It was like, the custard's pink.
Yeah.
And everyone was fucking losing their shit.
Or chocolate custard.
Sometimes we got chocolate custard.
Really?
Aye.
I feel like the cake was just left in the custard too long.
Do you think?
Yeah, I feel like that wasn't, yeah.
It's actually out of date custard.
Fucking cakes have disintegrated. Right, chocolate custard, I feel like that wasn't. Yeah. It's actually out of date custard. Cakes have disintegrated.
Right.
Chocolate custard.
Get that off the chalkboard.
Yeah.
Can you believe we should get
Spam Fritters?
Semolina.
Semolina.
I didn't like semolina.
No.
Nah, not a fan.
Was it sweet?
I never had it.
I just remember
I didn't like the word.
I didn't like the look of it.
It was awful.
I didn't like semolina.
Yeah.
God, I fucking love dinners.
Did your school dinners come in them like
prison style trays where everything's segregated oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yes i actually you would
get your main bit and then your mash would never really be touching anything because it would be
in a separate little bit yeah my prison and then you got your pudding there and you're i bet kids
these days i bet it's honestly i bet it's china China I bet there's candles on the table silverware
napkins
it's very healthy now
yeah
it's very
jacket potato heavy
with like wraps and that
and
it's quite healthy
dinners now
there's no like
batter
nothing's battered
really
it's super healthy
where's me bag of batter
that I normally get
he did a thing
Robin got a thing
for his homework
the other day
and it was like
draw a healthy meal
and there was this
pie chart on one of
the pages
of all the stuff
you should have
and I was like
fucking hell
well I just
looked at it
I felt
I felt attacked
what do you mean
because I was like
this isn't
this isn't one of
my meals
I know I'm trying
to be better now
but I was still like
I'm fucking miles
off this
but actually
did you see what
he put though like he didn't put a dent like what this. But actually, did you see what he put though?
Like he didn't put a dent like what he would eat.
He picked something from each bit.
He put spaghetti, beans and tomatoes.
I was like, you would never eat this, Chris.
Like, sorry, Robin.
Why would you have spaghetti, plain spaghetti with beans and tomatoes?
Where are you living?
You know he's going to tell them that's what he eats.
We're going to get a letter.
Stop giving them weird teas.
It's coming to our attention that you're giving plain spaghetti,
beans on their own, some tomatoes and a glass of milk you put on there as well.
A full massive glass of milk.
A pint of milk.
Just seven o'clock at night before dinner.
Butter as well.
There was no butter.
So where did he put the butter?
He was freaking out about where to put the butter.
I said on top of the...
Oh, it was very complicated.
Fucking hard work
I'm dreading him
getting proper homework
I'm dreading it
it's hard enough
getting to colour that in
I know
three days I was telling him
to colour that in
he no longer took me
to colour it in
how long
30 seconds
if less
but you know what
annoys me though right
because with homework
Robin can't be arsed to do it
so he does it really
really shit right
and I go
and I don't want to pressure him
so I'm like
well you've done it at the end of the day.
You've learned, you've done the task and I've worked in schools.
And I'm like, you've understood what you've had to do.
Because that's all it is.
It's understanding.
So when a school says make a poster, it doesn't have to be a perfect poster.
It's just the fact that you can get the information from there to put onto the poster.
That's what they're learning to do, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But what will happen is...
Like read it, take it in,
and then, like, regurgitate it.
Yes.
But what'll happen is,
he gets to school,
and everybody else,
usually, not to be...
Usually girls spend a lot longer...
They've done brilliant stuff.
And they've done amazing...
Clipper.
Yeah.
So Robin goes to school,
and he goes,
oh, mine was crap.
And I'm like,
well, if you'd put the effort in!
It's home.
So he hates going to school
and it being bad,
but I'm like, but then you've got to... It's just complicated. I hates going to school and being bad but i'm like but then you've got it
it's just complicated i'm gonna say right now i don't believe in homework
yeah i'm stupid what i don't know anyone i don't i don't think i've got any mates who at work take
their work home with them and do work at home it's only teachers teachers and pupils get homework
no one else on the planet.
Unless you're researching
something
or a doctor maybe.
Unless you're like
a manager of your own company.
Possibly
but do it all at work.
I don't know
I just find it
it's going to be hard
but like he turns around
to me in the morning
and he goes
I don't want to go to school
I hate school.
Like what kids say.
I can't go
go on man it's great
because I fucking hate it as well.
I go yeah I know shite in it but what can I do? Oh I loved school. I know but you go on man it's great because I fucking hate it as well I go yeah I know
shite in it
but what can I do
oh I loved school
I know but you're weird man
I'm not weird
you only liked it for the
fucking
see you mates
dinner ladies
see you dinner lady mates again
I am all right
how's the hip
go on then
chocolate custard again
oh nice one
oh Dean
because I actually was
a proper hand holder
100%
I was a proper
dinner lady hand holder
I remember at school.
Can you remember at school in the yard,
the group of girls who walked around with a dinner lady?
Fucking absolute losers.
If I think hard enough, right,
I can remember like the shape of our boobs.
I cuddled her.
What is that?
The shape of her boobs
she had massive boobs
and she was so cuddly
if I think
really hard I remember
nuzzling into
them boobas
I'm in love with the shape of boobs
and she does a custard
chocolate custard too
I couldn't speak for laughing one of them though wasn't so cuddly and she used to chocolate custard too. I couldn't speak for laughing.
One of them though wasn't so cuddly
and she used to tut at us all the time so
not very fond memories of that one.
Probably because you had fucking chocolate custard running down your chin.
Yeah, the kids
who were friends with the dinner ladies.
Aye, that may be me.
What a fucking loser.
I wasn't in the poo corner.
Sorry? The poo corner. I've talked about the poo corner. Sorry? The poo corner.
I've talked about the poo corner.
Have you?
It's still there, apparently.
Poo corner?
The poo corner, man.
The diarrhea corner.
When you just went in the infants,
you would go in the poo corner
where the drain was,
in the middle of the yard,
like at the building.
Does it sound like a corner?
Well, at the building,
it was the corner.
Oh, the corner of the building.
Aye.
Okay.
Also, we're talking a corner,
a pointing corner,
not a corner you'd walk into.
What do you mean?
Like a corner of a building So it's a
It's pointing out
It's not a corner like that
Behind you on the wall
No it's like that
When you go into a corner
Alright you see
You'd stand in the corner
You'd stand in the corner
And they'd just
Like be pretending poo
Poured all over you
It was poo corner
You didn't have a poo corner?
Oh my god
How
Why were you playing in the poo corner
With the dinner ladies
When they had dinner
Why were the dinner ladies In the poo corner this is with me friends right who might be in low-key
billionaires in the poo corner your friends would when the dinner lady wasn't available to hang
around with you would stand in a corner with your quote-unquote mates who would pour invisible shit
all over you yeah yeah did you like school i don't think you realised what was happening in school.
Bloody loved it.
I believe you're only friends with the dinner ladies
because you were their best customer.
And when the dinner ladies weren't there,
your mates bullied you
because you weren't hanging around with the dinner ladies.
No, and then,
because I was the smallest at one point in the whole school,
a lot of the older kids would come and just pick us up all day
to the point where the teachers had to tell them off
for picking us up. Right. They'd literally come and just pick us up all day to the point where the teachers had to tell them off for picking us up
right
they'd literally come and see us
because I was tiny
I was a tiny little dot
in reception
and all the big kids would come
and they'd pick us up
and spin us around
and the teachers were like
you need to stop coming
and picking her up
stop coming and picking her up
for one thing
you'll make us sick
because you just had
I swear to god
the biggest dinner
you've ever seen
right
and secondly
she's covered in poo
off the poop go and wash your hands
because we've been porn shite on her all afternoon.
Stay there.
Oh, God.

What's Your Beef?
What's Your Beef, Ed?
Get in this poo corner,
you little shit.
Tell us what's wrong.
Demolish can't help you now.
Ladies first?
I don't know.
Okay.
Because I feel like
you might have a beef with me
that I could just riff off.
But I mean,
I've got a little one for you.
Well, I think you know what my beef is
because yesterday when you began talking to us,
I immediately whipped my phone out
and started writing this down.
Yes, I can't fully remember.
But just dead quickly,
you answered the phone to our accountant the other day
by saying yo.
Did I?
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
And I mean, you.
Fair enough, I say yolo.
But that's the accountant that's quite a
serious conversation and he's a lot older than us you answer the question you're like yo one he's
not a lot older than us you'll think there's someone else who works in the same office
um and two he had just previously on the phone told me talk about professionalism he had just
previously on the phone told me about the fact that he was in New York on the subway and a woman
lifted up her skirt
and had a shit
that nearly hit his shoe
so
fair enough
you want to talk
about professionalism
it's more
give him a ring now
and you tell him first
it's not so much
professionalism
it was just more icky
just you
yo
well we'd already
had a conversation
about someone shitting
on the subway
fair enough
so you know
the boundaries
had been broken down but stop listening listening to phone calls stop doing them in
front of us well thank you for ringing the accountant because i will never make that phone
call well there we go yeah the emails give us enough anxiety god i hate people ringing us
you're awful i know i hate it although today your phone rang and you looked at it and it said you
know it says like a number you don't know but then it like guesses
at where it's from
Middlesbrough
it said Middlesbrough
you went oh god
oh phone
oh Middlesbrough
oh god
and then this little snap
change of personality
you went oh god
I don't know the number
Middlesbrough
oh it might be about a sofa
hello
pathetic
and it was about a sofa
pathetic
my beef with you is
yesterday you came into the kitchen while I was sitting having a cup of coffee and it was about a sofa. Pathetic. My beef with you is, yesterday,
you came into the kitchen
while I was sitting
having a cup of coffee
and you broached
the topic of nest parenting
with me.
Oh yeah.
As if we were going to do it.
No.
I was very specific.
You literally went,
you know those people
I told you about
who'd had a divorce?
Now they're doing a thing
called nest parenting.
Listen, how good this sounds.
And I went, what is it?
You went, well, the kids live in the house
and you each have a week on and a week off in the house,
but you broached it like it was something we had to do.
I didn't.
And I'm like, you did.
You are well up for it.
I didn't because I know the way that your brain works.
So straight away I said, this isn't us.
We're not splitting up.
Mummy and daddy aren't splitting up. Straight on and daddy straight on right move i was i can't
talk about anything no as if as a child from a broken home oh jesus it would have been really
nice actually i suppose you know but then you said then i said um well what happens if one of
them gets another partner can they just not see their partner for a week?
And you were like, yeah.
So the dad will... If you don't understand what it is,
the thing you were telling me
is the dad will live in the house for a week
and then the dad fucks off
and the mom comes and lives there for a week
and the kids never leave.
Brilliant.
If you can do that,
if you can stay amicable and do that
and the kids stay in the same space
and their routine doesn't change,
fucking amazing.
But you turned around to me and went,
yeah, but if we broke up,
I don't think anyone else could live with you.
I was upsetting.
Oh, I meant every word of it.
Wow.
I couldn't see you with anyone else.
Really?
Is that bad?
I mean, it's probably quite good in a way, but...
Yeah, but you think that no one could put up with me.
Is that what I said?
I think I wrote it down here.
You said,
I don't think anyone else could put up with you.
I don't think they could, Chris.
It takes a very specific person to be able to put up with you.
Wow.
Yeah.
I think I'm a delight.
I think you're very difficult to live with, actually.
Are you taking the piss?
Rosie, you have not filled or emptied the dishwasher for years
I just do it
every single time
did you last week
when you weren't here
oh well that doesn't count
you were away for a week
yeah but if I'm here
you just switch it off
because we've got certain jobs
oh
oh have we now
yeah
oh
yeah
you know you leave a spoon
on the coffee machine
when you've made a cup of coffee
yeah
every single time
for the next
I leave it there
for the next coffee
that I make
oh
why are you washing all the spoons all the time?
Cut off a big, scrammy, dried old coffee, crusty spoon.
Yeah, because I rinse it under the hot water.
In the machine?
Yes.
No wonder there's fucking water everywhere.
So you don't put stuff in the dishwasher,
but you wash spoons under the water outlet of the coffee machine.
What kind of lawless fucking wasteland are we living in?
What's wrong with that?
There's nothing wrong with that.
This is unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I hate dishwashers, me.
Oh, we know.
We fucking know.
Waste of time.
And when you're not here and I'm here on my own, it stinks.
Right.
That's because of the way you do it.
No, it's because you don't have, as a person,
and the Benz stuff is just plastic,
so I just rinse it under the bloody tap.
You don't rinse it?
Yeah, why I
so it just stinks
because then everything's
there for too long
and I don't want to
put it on unless it's full
right
waste of money
don't get one
okay there we go
so any dishwasher
companies that want
to sponsor her
don't bother
don't bother
because I'll not
I've not got your back
he will
he will
he will big you up
enough for the both of us
but I won't.
I didn't get many texts on my phone
to say that the dishes were done when I was away,
so I think you're right.
I don't think you were using the dishwasher.
I hate that it's linked to your phone.
It's great.
I'm always watching.
I'm everywhere in this house.
See, that is so...
I hate that.
Yeah.
I know when you've...
Oh, I know.
Don't you?
Oh, I know when you've had a dishwasher.
I know when you've had some fella over
washing dishes for him.
You're going to be asking
to bloody track my phone next
which you're not
oh absolutely not
oh
yeah
don't hit us
how are you what's your beef
who's tracking each other's phone
oh you've done your beef
sort of
yeah
now I'm going on to something else
oh okay
I just don't like that at all
track your phone
so I know where you are
how about you butt out
out of my life
I'm not going to be tracking your phone
I don't want to track your phone
I've got your car's tracked have you I know where you are in the car do butt out out of me life, actually. I don't want to be tracking your phone. I don't want to track your phone. I've got your car's tracked.
Have you? I know where you are in the car.
Do you? I've got it on my phone.
No, you haven't. Swear to God, I have.
Be serious. Yeah. I find
that really intrusive. I don't like that at all.
But I need to know where the car is in case the car gets stolen.
What if I want to go somewhere secret?
Well, don't.
Because I'll be on to you. We're going to have to chat about this
off the podcast.
Have you actually? It's just the app. When I got be on to you. We're going to have to chat about this off the podcast. Have you actually?
It's just the app.
When I got the car, they gave us the app.
Don't like that.
So the Tesla did it first, and now the other car does it.
Well, I need it on my phone, because why should you know where I am,
and I don't know where you are?
It's your car.
You'll be there.
You'll be with the car.
You're not a...
You've got to check your...
I just don't... I just think this is just living a world where it's just
everyone's gotta know everything about everyone i just think oh jesus christ
to an extent that i don't like you know when the kids are older and i know it's a good idea
because you need to know where they are but when i don't know i think when they're teenagers and
that there's part of you that you have to have a little bit of freedom
without your mum and dad knowing where you are.
Yes and no.
I know, it's tricky, isn't it?
It's hard because I do think
it's important to be able to go places
and learn things and do a couple of bad things
when you're a kid
without your mum and dad knowing.
But at the same time,
you live in a different world now.
At the same time, on the phone,
it's going to say, if we same time on the phone it's gonna say
you know
if we see where they are
it's gonna just tell you
an address or an area
it's not gonna say
drug dealer's house
oh I know
but I'm not being funny
when I was younger
when I was a kid
doing bongs
in someone's back shed
right
me mum
would have seen the address
and went
oh bong
oh she was at bong shed
no she would have went
we didn't know anyone
who lives there
right but I know where it is right okay it's oh bong oh she was at bong shed no she should have went we didn't know anyone who lives there right
but I know where it is
right okay
it's very bongy
around there
so she should have known
and you know
that she didn't need to know
because I was alright
might have whited on the way home
in between a couple of cars
but I was fine
gone bag
I know but you've got to
do these things man
absolute scum
you've got to
you've got to
got to have a bong
in someone's shed who's a lot
older than you
with your friend
and like
and hate every
second of it
to know
to know actually
this is not the
life I want to live
wow
I just feel like
you've got to do it
wow
I know
but we know too
much you know
we know too much
yeah
well we just know
all of the horror
stories don't we
yeah of course you do but you've just got to you know the more we know the more we can sort. We know too much. Yeah. Well, we just know all of the horror stories, don't we? Yeah, of course you do.
Yeah.
But you've just got to, you know,
the more we know, the more we can sort of prevent.
I think it's fine to have a tracker on your kid's phone
or whatever to know where they are.
Or one of them little ear tracker things
that we've got in our suitcase.
I don't know.
I don't know if I agree.
Stick it on his back on the way out.
Have a good day, son.
Pat him on the back.
Tracker on his back like James Bond.
We'll see.
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Okay.
Because there's part of us
and I'll know exactly
where the bridge is
because I'll be on my phone
and I know what bridge
they're crossing
they're on
they're on Bong Bridge
quick
quick everyone
get in the car
where's the car
I'll check
where's your partner
around the corner
I'll check my phone
to Bong Bridge
I need to know
if people still sell
tabs from the house
every time I go through
duty free
and I see the big
cartons of tabs
the cartons of cigarettes
that people sell
yeah
I don't know

Hi, Rosie and Chris.
I got told this story from my workmate and it had me in stitches.
He swore to me to secrecy around work.
He doesn't listen to podcasts, but please keep anonymous as I don't know if any of his friends or family do.
I don't know if this is bullshit, but if it's true, then God help you for the rest of your life.
My mate told me one night he took a girl home while his mum was asleep upstairs.
His mum was very strict and didn't allow that sort of thing.
As it was in the 60s or 70s, after
a few drinks, one thing led to another.
Oh, sorry, might not allow them things because it was the
60s or 70s. I don't understand.
Wasn't everything a little bit lax and
daisy back then?
In films, I think. But not in actual
life. Probably not. Depends.
I imagine if you lived in
Los Angeles or something
and your parents went to Woodstock or something else.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Doesn't really do much for me.
The 60s or 70s, you know,
and everyone's like,
it was just the best time ever.
I'm like, what's it all?
Everyone just had loads of pubes, didn't they?
Well, that would have been quite nice, actually.
Nah, I'm out of that life.
I hate getting rid of my pubes.
Right.
So annoying.
The way you said you hate getting rid of your pubes.
I was a bit embarrassed, actually.
I went in the bath the other night with Ruth.
My pubes are horrendous.
Why are you judging us?
I couldn't look at them.
It was horrible.
It was like the thing off Lord of the Rings.
I couldn't look at it.
Was it that bad?
Yeah, it was awful.
Awful.
I'll sort it out today.
Right.
After a few drinks, one thing led to another,
and he was having sex with this girl in front of the fire.
Oh, nice.
Oh, down by the fire.
Damn.
Oh, dear.
Down by the fire. dear down by the fire
but they didn't hear
his mum coming downstairs
excellent
she crept up behind him
and shouted
what the bloody hell
is going on here
my mate got such a fright
that he pulled out
spun around
and then
what do you think
he's hit
he's lent on the fire
or something hasn't he
he shot his load
uncontrollably
all over his mum's leg
that couldn't have happened
I could
so you could
you could climax
your mum
saying what the bloody hell
is going on down here
not if he's like
just about to come
and then you pull out
like it's still gonna happen isn't it if he's hit the point of no return it's the point of no return I just love the idea of what's going on down here. Not if he's just about to come and then you pull out. It's still going to happen, isn't it?
If he's hit the point of no return,
it's the point of no return.
I just love the idea of,
what's going on here?
What's it look like?
What's it look like, you old bitch?
That's horrible.
Stop that.
That's horrible.
I don't think you could ever get over that.
As a mother,
now that I'm a mother,
that would kill me.
That would send me to my grave.
It would. It would kill me. That would send me to my grave. It would.
It would.
Sorry.
You'd throw them slippers away.
Oh, throw them jomers away.
Needless to say,
he got a good hiding for it.
How old was he?
The girl left and told her mates
and he got the piss taken out of him ever since.
That's absolutely...
Oh, my God.
No.
Oh. What would you call him mam spunk what do you mean
what would his nickname be for that fucking climb amsk climb arms oh i can't even think of anything
oh old mother comer that's horrible
i think that's the one i think that's the one
I think that's the one
oh god
hi Rosie and Chris
long time listener
first time emailer
hello
welcome to the party
I love the ick section
and it's only since
I've come out of a very
long term relationship
have I realised
just how easily
I get the ick
here is one of my
many ridiculous ones i
recently found myself in something of a situation ship and around ah you know that one i taught you
that word the other week what situation ship what does that mean it's like uh just casual sex
okay yeah friends with bennies basically i have friends with benefits yeah um so she's in a
situation ship and around the guy's house we were sat on the settee
with his very light
orangery behind him
an orangery is like
a conservatory
oh wow
posh wood
this is nice
this is posh
get him locked down love
he's doing everything
bloody orangery
an orangery
orangery
bloody hell
unless it's either
come with a house
or it's his ma and dad's
I don't know
it's a wooden
yeah it's a wooden
basically a wooden
posh wooden conservatory
expensive
as he leaned in for the kiss a beam of light hit the back of his head It's his man, Dad. It's a wooden, yeah, it's a wooden, basically a wooden, posh wooden conservator. Expensive.
As he leaned in for the kiss,
a beam of light hit the back of his head
and turned his left ear
bright orange.
I know exactly what she means.
Honestly,
no, honest to God,
I dried up quicker
than a raindrop in the Sahara.
How thin does your skin have to be?
Vile.
That's so unfair.
You epic thin skin.
It's the sun
and now I'm not having it.
That's so...
I get where she's
coming from though.
I love how unfair he's are.
Well, have you not seen
the one that's been
doing the rounds online
for donkeys
and it's that poor lad
that got sent to me
so many times.
There's a lad
and he's on a boat
and his yellow
is just like
moving in the wind. Have you not seen it? No. Oh Chris, you must have seen it and he's on a boat and his earlobe is just like moving in the wind.
Have you not seen it?
No.
Oh, Chris, you must have seen it.
And someone's like, new, ick, unlocked.
And his earlobe's just being moved by the wind.
And people are like, disgusting.
Like, Jesus Christ.
But that's the same.
Like, so he must have a really thin ear.
I get where they're coming from though.
Like, you know when you see someone's veins through the ears and you're like how thin is your skin yeah
wow oh my god yeah so his ear went like a fucking baby kangaroo like all yeah basically red but do
you know what it is chris though you can't marry them people somebody else will somebody else won't
mind that the sun hits his ear and because it's the sun and it's an
ear it obviously goes a bit lighter and that's that poor fucking guy kind of get it wow i've
been really put off by fingernails and that before me well that's fair enough what do you mean just
somebody sometimes someone the way the toes and that look and i go i can't marry that i understand
what you mean you know what i mean yeah But that's for somebody else, Will.
Just couldn't, just me personally. But how, my point is,
how often in your life
is the sun going to belt the back of your ear
in that exact situation
where you're going to see it all the time?
Yeah, fair enough.
I think if you're finding icks with people, right,
you don't like them enough.
Nah.
That's what it is.
I haven't listened.
Because if you, when I met you,
I was like proper head over heels and...
When?
Past tense. Oh yeah, I was like proper head over heels and when past tense oh yeah
I mean
was head over heels
the mask
has slipped
since
but
nothing you did
you're fucking half
I won
I loved it
I was just
because I loved you
I love you
thank you
still love you
but
if you don't
if you're not
head over heels
with someone
you're all gonna find
stuff icky
and I totally get it I had an interesting conversation about x recently with a scientist
um because i'm doing it uh with a doctor she's got a phd so i i did a show that i've been filming
for sky like a science-based christmas eve show it gets announced soon and um i was telling about
x talking about the podcast and so much time sitting around
filming and i told obviously the classic one about the ping pong ball and picking up the receipt
and she said um any man who the girl breaks up with them because of a small little ick like that
has um or woman uh has the the they've had a lucky escape because someone who can be put off here
so quickly by with something so slight
wasn't really getting you in the first place.
No, exactly.
So I think you've hit the nail on the head.
It's so true.
And that's coming from a scientist.
It's so true because if you love someone
and if you fancy the pants off them,
little things like that,
they don't bother you.
You're kind of, it's part of their thing.
It's like, you know.
Or to be fair,
some people just send with them
because they're funny and they are funny.
Yeah.
But yeah.
But there'll be something else about him.
He'll probably have halitosis or something.
Great.
He'll have halitosis and then the light shone through his ear and she's gone, this is too
much for me.
Again, I get paranoid about how much I must have icked people out in my life.
I must have just done it a million times.
The classic one.
I've told you when I first day at school when I said I can't wait to stick some chewing
gum under the desk and all the girls heard us.
And that was that.
That was that. You're not icky. I don't think you're icky.
I think I am. I think every man
has these icky moments to people.
A girl told us years later,
years later, do you know we all fancied you
until you said that. I could have had
a different childhood. I could have been the
fucking don of that school.
No, you don't want to be the don of school because
the don of school peaks too early.
Peaks too early.
And then you see a picture
of them now
and they're a bit bald
and you go, ooh.
I believe 50 Cent put it best
with,
Damn, homie.
In high school,
you was the man, homie.
The fuck happened to you?
Yeah.
And scene.
That's what he says
at the end of all his raps.
Does he?
Nah.
That's it done.
That's it done.
Now you do want to peek in school like,
there was no peekage from me at school,
I can tell you that much.
I know.
You and the dinner ladies.
Oh, making me un-highlighted here.
The little grotty corner,
hand in hand with the dinner ladies.
What time do I shift finishing?
I'll miss you till tomorrow.
Would you please stop?
Hi Rosie and Chris,
please keep me anonymous.
So this happened yesterday
and I'm not quite sure
what to think.
Oh fresh off the press.
My mother-in-law
and I don't have
the best relationship.
She's okay
but she generally
annoys the shit
out of me.
Nice.
Last week was my
daughter's birthday party.
We had the whole family
round and it was lovely.
Trying to make an effort
to build a relationship
with my mother-in-law
I complimented her dress and was trying. Trying to make an effort to build a relationship with my mother-in-law,
I complimented her dress and was trying really hard to be nice and include her in the festivities.
Although she did spend time slagging me off to my mum
saying she had to do so much work to prepare for the party,
I literally asked her to watch my youngest for half an hour
whilst I finished making my daughter's cake.
They do not have a good relationship.
Fast forward a week and it was my birthday.
I invited my family over for dinner
and included her to keep the peace with my husband.
Everyone turned up and bought gifts, cards
and wished me happy birthday,
which was lovely, but not expected.
Mother-in-law turned up,
put a Primark bag in my hands
and greeted me with,
you alright?
Nice.
I love her. Everyone came in and we had a few drinks whilst i cooked then i sat down to open my presents and cards it was all
going really well until i got to her present i took out the crumpled primal bag and opened it
inside was another bag which felt like it had some clothing in having absolutely no idea what
it could be i took it out and held it up.
It was only the pissing dress she had worn the week before
to my daughter's birthday.
I just went into shock and wasn't quite sure what to say.
I looked at her and she said,
well, you said it was nice, so there you go.
And apparently Chris shrugged and downed her wine.
As I was raised correctly, I thanked her and went back into the kitchen.
My family all looking confused.
She then got drunk and cried as I was serving dessert.
What a nightmare.
Worst part, she hadn't even washed the dress.
What a power move.
I know.
What a power move.
You said you like it, so there you go.
Haven't washed it.
My question is...
That might be the worst birthday present I've ever heard.
Just regardless of how expensive the dress was
or what kind of dress it was,
just the sheer arrogance and the lack of thought
that has gone into that.
I mean, you'd rather get a £5 gift voucher.
I know, but then at the same time,
is it thoughtful in a mad world?
I don't know.
She didn't buy a new one. She took it it off didn't put it in the dirty basket crumbled it into a bag and went there you go wow she really doesn't like it yeah god that is oh i'm so sorry i know it must
be horrible yeah we're really lucky we're really lucky we've done great I know I would hate that I would hate to have a bad relationship with their in-laws mustn't be nice sorry everyone question
is what is the weirdest slash most inappropriate gift you've ever been
given can you think of anything it's Christmas comedy shows always ask you
this okay worse Christmas pen yeah I got you guys I mean again I mean, again, I'm going to have to bring,
as we're talking about mother-in-laws,
I'm going to have to bring the stuff your mum gets.
Do not slag off the pancake pan
because we use that nearly every day.
Yeah, yeah.
Everything that she does by her,
that at the time you go,
like the meat tray and that.
The meat tray, yeah.
That's great.
I'm making a chicken this afternoon.
It'll be out again.
I'll have that for the rest of my life.
Yeah, that was for me. That was my meat tray. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got that meat tray. That's great. I'm making a chicken this afternoon. It'll be out again. I'll have that for the rest of my life. Yeah, that was for me.
That was my meat tray. Oh yeah.
Yeah, I got that meat tray.
Why does she always give them to you? Don't know.
She got us, because she doesn't know what to get us,
she got us some gym tops.
Woman's medium.
Two of them. Can't get them on.
Oh, I love them.
She's joking on you.
Sorry.
I am open-mouthed right now.
I'm sorry.
What a horrible thing to say.
I was totally joking.
You horrible, horrible, scrawny little icky bastard.
Totally joking.
I was totally joking.
I'm sorry.
They'll be far too big for you.
That's what I meant.
They'll be far too big for you.
I hate you.
Cancel this man.
What was I going to say? She's's passively aggressively bought with a little whisk did you realize that ah
brilliant whisk i don't know where that came from it's a tiny little whisk no do you know what it
is though because when we're away she comes and stays at the house with the kids and if we don't
have one little thing that she has in her house she's literally like, you don't have a little whisk for your eggs.
Use a fork.
Use a fork?
What?
When did,
I did not grow up in a house that had a little whisk.
Just because one time.
She's got a disposable income now, man.
She's buzzing.
Oh, no.
She's got the best life in the world.
So she's now got a little whisk for her egg.
The fact that we didn't have one.
Was it good?
It's brilliant.
Oh, great.
But she was very smug when she got it.
She was like,
got one of these because you didn't have one.
And I remember thinking,
what the hell but yeah
used it this morning
turns out
wasn't such a
whiskey gift after all
was it
eh
well done
eh
horrible
have you won
awful
ignore him
great though
makes great scrambled eggs
