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.

Hello, you're listening to Shagmarian Annoyed with me, Rosie Ramsey,
and my husband, Christopher Ramsey.
Hello.
Still here, still married, still going strong.
Hello, hello, how are you?
Oh, well, oh no, no, I'm okay. I'm just a bit tired.
You're a bit tired.
Well, Rafe isn't very well.
Rafe's not very well this week.
Yeah, and it's that thing of being a parent where you're not poor. I'm not poorly yet.
It's in the post, I poorly yet yet it's in the post
I believe
it is definitely in the post
but he's up all night
he's had a temperature
temperature got up to like
42 degrees
yeah
which is really scary
yeah
and he was like a little radiator
and I was looking out for him
going febrile
which is a word that I never thought
I would ever have to know
yeah
freaks me out that
so the last two nights
have just been
I've just not slept
so I'm just really
it's back
it's like back to the old days
of when you had a newborn
that's what it feels like
yeah
and I'm just really exhausted
it's that thing
when your kids
all the parents out there
you'll know it
big love
big love to you
big support to you
when your kid's not well
you've got to comfort the kid
and keep the kid near you
knowing that there is a time bomb
of you are about to get
whatever this thing is
it's fucking shit isn't it
yeah it's bollocks
sorry for my language straight away.
It's really...
And, like, I hug him, and he sneezes on us,
and he coughs in my face, and I'm just like,
there, there.
Thinking...
First thing he did to me this morning when I got him was cough in my face.
I was like, hey, are you all right?
He just went...
I know.
If you were a man, I would hit you for doing that.
I would punch you in the mouth for doing that.
Wow, that's an awful thing to say.
If you were a bloke...
He's not a bloke.
And if he wasn't my son.
If he's a random stranger... If a random stranger came up and was in the street, doing that if you're a bloke. That's an awful thing to say. If you're a bloke, he's not a bloke. And if he wasn't, he's son. If he's a random stranger,
if a random stranger came up and was in the street,
and it is me point,
it's just, it's like the most,
it's the most, like,
rudest thing you can do to someone
is cough directly into their face.
Like, as a society,
it's laughable how horrible it is.
They don't give a shit.
But of course they don't give a shit.
He's very, mine, I've got to say,
he's a really, like,
timid kind of kid, like, what's the word he's just pretty placid isn't he's placid
yeah he's easy going not in the middle of the night with a fever i heard him demanding water
from you last night oh jesus christ he's he's fucking horrible yeah horrible so he was that
hot right sorry so i came through because i realized you're texting so i came
through from the other room we're still doing you know i like to do evidence yeah that i'm awake in
the night so in the morning when you get up with the kids i'm like i was up yeah don't give me this
shit i understand that so i came through and i was like do you need anything are you all right and
then he like sort of woke up a bit because i came in and he just i was walking through to the
bathroom and i just heard him go morda and i heard you go i just heard you as i was at the bathroom i heard you go
god you are not nice when you're ill are you well that was because 10 minutes before he was so hot
that i was like i need to take your jammies off and he went we wear pajamas for bed and i was
in this house that's what he said he did in this house we wear pajamas for bed in this house? That's what he said he did in this house. We wear pyjamas for bed in this house.
And I was like, okay.
But I went, you're really hot.
You need to take your top off.
I'd already took his pants off.
He took his top off.
He made me take my top off.
I was like, Rafe, I don't.
So I did.
And I was like freezing all night.
One rule for him, one rule for you.
Get that top off as well.
How dare you.
Something happened.
So I was cold.
Weirdly cold on the top. But then on the bottom, we're quilts you something happened so I was cold weirdly cold
on the top
but then on the bottom
we're quilts really big
so I was hot right
and I haven't told you this yet
so
I was really hot
and Chris has got like
a dressing room
in our bedroom
right where all of these clothes are
and I thought
do you know what it is
because I can't not
I can't have a naked
bum area
for bed
I don't know why
right
I'm just
because there's always a chance that you might shit yourself no I don't know what it is. I'm just... It's because there's always a chance
that you might shit yourself.
No, I don't know what it is.
Tell the truth, come on.
You're worried about
you're always going to shit yourself.
No, I just like wearing
like knickers for bed.
Anyway,
or if I've got Jomapant on
I don't wear knickers.
Excuse your shits, I'm sorry.
Listen, he's imagining it.
So this is one of the saddest things
that's ever happened in my life.
Right.
Last night I was like,
oh, I'll tell you what,
I'm a bit uncomfortable
in these pajama pants. I'm going to, I was like, I'll I'll tell you what, I'm a bit uncomfortable in these pajama pants.
I'm going to, I was like,
I'll lend a pair of Chris's underpants to put on
and they'll be lovely.
I was wondering why there was a pair of my underpants
on the floor this morning.
Oh, Chris, they were too tight.
They were too tight.
I was so uncomfortable.
I had to take them off.
You were not.
So there was a pair of my
underpants on the floor this morning and I was like, why are they
there? And I was like, I mustn't have left them
because if I've gone on the...
They're like Y-fronts.
I thought, oh, they're like knickers. I'll wear them.
They'll be loose and baggy and comfy.
Shit, my life.
Too tight.
What's wrong with you?
That's so tight I thought I was going to get told off
you've got a penis to fit in
I don't have anything
tiny little penis
power
no I am
they're my
so they're my like
support
boxer shorts
yeah
so if I'm
I wear them for the gym
I wear them for jiu jitsu
yeah but I didn't think my hips to Yeah, but I didn't think my hips,
to keep everything in.
I didn't think my hips
were bigger than you.
I thought you were
wider than me.
Nah,
man,
I'm,
you're kidding us.
I'm an absolute,
I'm a butchers dog these days.
it was so depressing.
You know when I was already knackered
and felt like shit
and I just thought,
oh,
fucking,
yeah,
we're good.
Great.
First of all,
do you know you've picked
the only pair of boxers
of underpants in the whole thing that wouldn't have fit you?
You know, like you've accidentally picked just because they look like knickers.
They're tight on me.
Look, look, stand up here now.
Oh, all right.
I normally wear them all the time, but today I wanted to be comfortable.
So I've actually got normal boxers on me.
Okay.
So they are quite tight.
I, this morning, went to my, you know, my boxer short air storage facility.
Aye.
Your drawer. And I went to get them.
Yeah, if you want to be boring,
call it a draw.
I went to my boxer short
storage facility
and I got,
I picked a pair of them up
and I went,
do you know what,
I can't be arsed
with the Y-fronts today.
Sometimes they are
a bit restricted.
So I'm in the boxers today.
Okay, so, alright.
Well, later on,
I'm going to go on.
You picked the worst
possible pair.
Sorry, what were you
going to say there later on?
I'm going to dry on a pair
of boxers to make
it a little bit better.
No, you're not
soiling more of me underpants.
You're not having a fashion show
in my underpants storage facility.
Anyway, that was fun at half past three this morning.
Wow, that's great.
It's my night.
Oh, fantastic.
Well, she had me right.
I thought I was going to get bollocked
because sometimes if there's a wet
from water or from sweat pair of boxer shorts
I'll just leave them in the bathroom to dry
and I thought I was going to get bollocked for that.
No, it was me.
Oh, well, that's good.
What a happy ending
for me, not for you.
We wear pyjamas
for bed in this house.
What did you end up
wearing then?
I'm sure everyone's
dying to know.
I just put my
pyjama pants back on.
Right, good stuff.
There we go.
Because I couldn't,
because, right, okay,
so this is really
long-winded, but we
had a bit of an episode
the other night
because we're still in separate beds,
which we are trying to rectify at the minute.
We've promised Robin.
Oh, it's not even worth getting in.
Ah, nah, it's just driving us mad.
Fuck me.
He wants a good, fancy, ridiculous bed,
but if I have to sleep in the room with him now and then,
I can't be in a single fucking bunk bed.
It's ridiculous.
We're going to get back to it.
It's fine.
I love them in my bed.
I don't have to give a shit. It's not going to last long. fucking bunk bed. It's ridiculous. We're going to get back to it. It's fine. I love them in my bed. I don't actually give a shit.
It's not going to last long.
I love it.
It's not.
But what happened the other night was,
Rave had a temperature,
and I had to go downstairs to get some Calpol.
Oh, this was a fucking nightmare.
I turned the alarm off,
and then I went back up to bed,
and we can set the alarms on my phone.
So I set the alarm on my phone.
You heard it,
thinking that there was a burglar in the house.
And oh my God,
what is the alarm?
Right, so to set the scene,
so we've got the app,
you can turn the alarm off
in silence on your app, right?
It just goes off.
But when you're turning it back on,
even on the app,
it goes through
the whole fucking rigmarole.
So I'm lying in bed,
it was the night
of the fucking tornado.
It was a tornado. Oh yeah, yeah. So the wind was lashing off. It's because night of the fucking tornado. It was a tornado.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So the wind was lashing off.
It's because everyone I spoke to said
the wind was lashing off my window.
And I'm not a meteorologist,
but I thought all of our windows
face different directions here,
so someone's fucking lying.
But it was literally going every direction, the wind.
It was an actual tornado.
Can we stop naming the storms, please?
It's getting ridiculous.
Yeah, it's doing me tits in.
So, yeah, I heard the beeping. Obviously, I jumped straight out of bed, ready for action. can we stop naming the storms please it's getting ridiculous yeah let's do my tits in so uh yeah i
heard the beeping obviously i jumped straight out of bed ready for action yeah and i run downstairs
you're already back in the bedroom so i don't know you've been up so i'm just running around
downstairs so i turn the alarm off i'm like right the alarm's gonna kick off i turn it off
i'm walking around you know jujitsu position i put my gi on i put my belt on i was ready for
action right um walking around the house
alarm starts going off again
because I'm sitting upstairs
in my bed
trying to set it again
trying to set it
going why the fuck
is this not setting
yeah
and I'm like fuck
so someone's broke
something
right
so I go
and Robin's top of the stairs
going dad what's going on
so I
this happens three or four times
so I go right
Robin nothing to be worried about
go into the bedroom
with Mammy and Rafe
and lock the door
and he's like what what
and I was like go in there and lock the door and he's like what what and I was like go in there
and lock the door
and I'm like
ready for action
no wonder he doesn't
want to sleep
in his room on his own
so then I open the door
and I was about to go
Rosie there may be
an intruder
I've got it covered
where's my pool cue
and you went
the fucking alarm
won't set
what's happening
and I went
oh shit
I know what's happening here
so you were setting it
and I was unsetting it
and looking for a fight
so hence why I thought
I'll put your boxers on
instead of walking along the other room
to get a pair of knickers for me
because, you know,
karate kid over there
might get carried away.
How dare you.
Karate is extremely unaffected
in a street fighting scenario.
Great.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective
form of martial art.
Should we crack on
because this is very long.
We should.
Absolutely fine.
We should, but without further ado,
it's time for...
Well, first of all, this is episode 254.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for putting up...
Go on, skip your sponsor.
Absolutely not.
It's an extremely important one this week
and extremely, extremely lucrative
because they're everywhere.
Everyone's got it.
It's out there.
It's all over the place.
And I, for one, I'm absolutely sick of it.
This week's sponsor is... Littleits on electric scooters oh god yeah fucking hell
little shits on electric scooters and electric bikes yeah going along pavements coming the wrong
way down one way streets then flattened one the other day fucking hell i wish he'd kept going um
i was going down a one-way street and he was coming and then look at you
I know
him with his fucking
mate on the back
they're coming down
on their electric bike
down the street
towards my car
on a one way street
and he pulled up
on the curb
and they both looked at me
as if to go
learn to drive dickhead
and I'm like
are you for real
pure little mugsies
and do you know
what I've worked out
right
you know what really
fucks me off about it
what
these little twats
who fly around
on these bikes
they are literally
like the wind,
just straight up to you,
straight...
Have you ever been
walking on a pavement
and one's went past
on a pavement?
Oh yeah, it's terrifying.
Fucking hell.
In our day,
in my day,
this was all fields,
in my day,
the little ratbags
who drove around
on mopeds and scramblers,
you got a warning.
Aye.
Oh, I thought you meant
from the police
Right okay
Yeah
Now
Silent
They're just fucking
Like ninjas
I know
And they're dressed like ninjas
I know
Eyes poking out
Masks on
The lot
Honestly
Oh god
Terrifying
What's happened to the world
I feel like a whinging old man
I know
Well they're going to be devastated
Because they're banned vapes
You know
Yeah
Rishi
Yeah
Banned vapes Banned disposable Disposable vapes you know yeah Rishi yeah banned vapes
banned disposable vapes
get them electric scooters and electric bikes but fuck me
Christ alive
I think they're a great idea
brilliant invention but I
I mean as someone with an electric car
you know the acceleration is
you know it gives you a little tingle in your tittle
I could fancy
I could fancy an electric bike
I think that would be nice
gives you a little bit of a push up a hill.
Why don't you use the bike you've got?
Nah.
I'm actually scared to bike.
I'm scared to cycle on roads.
We've talked about before the time when I was,
I didn't know electric bikes were a thing.
And an old man overtook us three days in a row on a hill
and I didn't know what was going on
until he told us that his bike was electric
and I stopped crying.
Yeah.
Just look, if you're a little shit
on an electric bike
just fucking
just don't be an arsehole
I think that's probably
all I'm trying to say
there's always going to be
there's always going to be
arseholes in life Chris
just got to learn
and accept them
scooters are annoying as well
oh well
I think I'm jealous
that they weren't out
when I was younger
I think I've just
got to the bottom of it
I think I've just
therapied myself
and I think I'm jealous that they weren't out when I was younger because I had a've just got to the bottom of it. I think I've just therapied myself. Okay.
And I think I'm jealous that they weren't out
when I was younger
because I had a fucking
loved one of them.
You wouldn't have been
able to afford one.
Fair point.
We had a fight
about the jingle
jingle
We couldn't settle
on a jingle
jingle
So this is the jingle
jingle
We hope you like
the jingle
jingle Babadoo babadoo babado the Jingle, Jingle. We hope you like the Jingle, Jingle.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.
Jingle!
Hello and welcome back to this week's episode of
Don't Wear Your Husband's Clothes Like They Do In The Films
because they're actually going to be too tight and you're going to be sad.
We've said it before.
How big are them shirts on them women in them films?
Yeah, but the blokes normally,
it's normally tiny woman and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
No, I'm telling you right now,
I'm telling you right now,
they are too big.
Even for the bloke?
Aye.
They've deliberately oversized.
They've been lying to her for years.
Do you reckon?
They are like XXXL shirts.
On a bloke who would be a medium or a large?
Yeah.
None of the blokes are that big.
They're all probably mediums.
Yeah.
And then, you know,
the lasses got them on
and they're massive.
It's bullshit.
You might be onto something here, you know.
I'm massively onto something, Chris.
You might be onto something.
I bet you it'll be a little trick
that they do to make,
you know, like back in the day.
You know, I'm getting sort of
Michelle Pfeiffer vibes
kind of back in the day,
90s when the girls would wear the shirt.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
They're like fucking Harry Hill.
It's ridiculous.
It's like a really massive, oversized dress.
Yeah.
And the man is, spelt us out.
So you want to walk back onto the set and go,
right, right, cut, cut, right.
You, love, take that shirt off.
Yeah, put it on him.
You put it back on him now and see if it fits.
Ah, see, Tom Hanks.
That's farting fucking you liar yeah he's
gonna look like a man child with a big man shirt on so yeah just annoying and then you wear i did
sometimes when i'm doing the washing i'll fold tops just by look they're not really real and
put your top like in mine and i think yeah a lot of your a lot of your stuff ends up in mine i know
yeah yeah anyway well back to this. Yeah. How are you?
I'm all right.
Did the anger of that at least get you through the night?
The anger of not being able to wear the underpants?
Kept us up a bit longer.
Because I have not got back on.
After Christmas, I cannot get back onto the fitness train.
You are, which is upsetting.
I can't.
I puer fell off the wagon and I can't get back on.
That's because I've told you many times,
that's because my fitness is also my therapy.
Yeah, good for you.
Well, I don't have that.
Oos.
It's too cold.
Listen.
Yes.
Something happened the other day and I wrote it down
and I forgot about it.
Oh.
And I've looked through my notes just before doing this.
As we do, we sort of quickly look at points
to speak to each other about.
The other day, our 80-year-old Robin
hit a very important milestone
in his life
I don't know when he hit it
on his own
but he revealed this milestone to me
and
I have no idea
but it was quite funny
at the same time
but it was sad that he is getting older
but it just
obviously because you don't see them in school
you don't see your kid at school
so your kid to you
is what they are at home
but he's given his little glimpses
so
what the hell are you about to say?
I'm so worried.
We put Bluey on the other day.
Rafe was watching Bluey
so I put Bluey on.
And, you know, I fucking love Bluey.
I watch it as well.
And Robin will sit,
when it's on, Robin will sit and watch Bluey as well
if he's just in the room.
So I'll sit and watch it.
It starts.
Did he say,
Your mam? Yeah. Has he done it to you yeah it's unbelievable so at the beginning it
does a thing and it goes mom so he went did it he went dad watch this and we wound it and it went

Everybody now in the trenches, right?
If you're in the trenches,
one, two-year-old,
just wait.
Your kids are one, two-year-old.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You're not one, two.
No, it gets better.
I promise.
It does get better.
As long as you can still actually stomach
to look at your other half,
it does get better.
If you can't stomach
to look at your other half, then.
That is a very important factor.
You have to be able to stomach
to look at them.
Yeah.
If you can't, then maybe you might not see through.
Not going to lie.
And guess what?
If you only have sex from behind in the dark with no talk in the neck on stomach, we're
looking at you.
So there you go.
Oh my God.
I never thought about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh shit.
All right.
Okay.
That's why I did it in my sad voice.
Sad voice.
It's time for What's Your Beef?
What's your beef?
What's your beef?
What's your beef?
What's your beef?
Beef, beef, beef, beef, beef, beef.
Getting straight into it this week.
Right.
Oh, Jesus.
I want to go first.
Right, go on then.
My beef with you is,
and this might have been my beef before,
but you did it again this weekend,
and I'm starting to get fucking sick of it.
We have everything at our fingertips
for those children to watch
everything
we've got all of the
fucking subscriptions
we've got the lot
right
and you
too much choice
you are absolutely
hell bent
on trying to make
those two poor boys
watch
shite
that you used to watch
when you were younger
and you
we literally
they're both
like climbing the walls
I fucking hate weekends
you know I hate weekends
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if it was the lockdown, something.
I can't be in the house with no plan for the full day.
When you're like, let's have a lazy morning.
Worst idea in my fucking world.
Well, then make a plan then.
It's a lazy morning with two children.
Make a plan.
You cannot make a plan.
I can also not have a lazy morning.
I'm sick of planning everything for this family.
Right.
Well, I'll start because I need to start planning weekends.
Please do.
Because it's fucking killing us. I can have a lazy morning on my own if it's just me oh my god i mean well then
again i can't really end up doing stuff anyway listen you tried to make them watch never ending
story it was a it was a goddamn fucking disaster from start to finish i didn't realize how slow
that show was that film i mean it starts the kid wakes up, Bastien, I think he's called, he wakes up in bed. Sebastian. But everyone calls him Bastien, doesn't they?
Wakes up in bed, goes downstairs,
has what must be a 15-minute conversation
with his dad, saying one word answers.
Who, by the way, is whizzing up
some fresh orange juice and a raw egg.
That was Mankey, yes.
Which is disgusting.
It's one shot, locked off.
So if you don't know anything about films,
listening here, I'm not trying to be an arsehole,
but the camera angle is just one shot,
just on the kitchen table, looking at the kid,
and in the background is his dad,
and they have a really morose 10-minute conversation
grunting at each other about his mom,
missing his mom, while his dad's fucking putting a blender on.
And you're sitting there going,
Robin Reif, look, I used to watch it.
Why aren't you enjoying it?
Why aren't they enjoying it?
We switched and put something on
on their thing
it's fucking insane
what they watch these days
alright then
well we're kids are fucked
oh 100%
our children's attention spans
are absolutely knackered
and it's our fault
and it actually
really upsets us
the stuff you put
what did we put on
mummies or something
literally within the first
couple of seconds
there's a chariot race
there's stuff fucking going everywhere
there's slow motion
it's so worrying
like it's so bad
it's crazy
I don't like it
everything you turn on now
you turn it on for a kid
and it's like
hey hey look
hey look at this
hey what's on fire
what's spinning round
look there's loads of them
look it's multiplying
we watched
I love them
I'll not slag it off
but we watched
the spider verse
so there's into the spider verse
and there's across
the spider verse
we watched the newest one me and robin over the christmas
i was fucking exhausted when it was finished i needed to lie down so much happens i felt like
i'd been i felt like someone had been hitting us in the face with it it's insane i know it's bad
and the stuff we watched and look how fucked we are look how fucked we are mentally as a generation
because we've got phones and stuff now look how much of a clip we are
we're all needing help
what are these kids
going to be like
I know
it's scary man
it's actually worrying
it is
it's really worrying
yeah
and anyway
I was trying to be
I'm trying to be more present
with the kids
I'm trying to like
actually
well by sticking on films
that you want to watch
I?
yes
that's not being present
well it is because I'm there
and I want to watch a film
with them
but I'm sick of watching
if I watch Minions
one more bastard time I'm going to I want to watch a film with them, but I'm sick of watching. If I watch Minions one more bastard time, I'm going to die.
I'll just die there and then.
Illumination!

I can't watch.
I just can't.
I can't.

a right cheat code
oh good

aye aye
let we have it
let we have equal pay
as well
while you're at it
how about that
over my dead body
right then
well then all we're
going to do is be
icked out by you
and find you
as absolutely repulsive
we could completely
live without you
as if you weren't here
we'd be absolutely fine
so equal pay
or that
as if we don't get it
as if
as if
I thought
I thought equal pay was a thing now.
Absolutely not.
No.
No.
Really?
So women still.
Not in all professions.
No.
Get paid less than men.
Yeah.
I might have to send an email.
So I'm getting.
Like a mug.
I'm splitting this with you.
50-50.
Yeah.
Like some kind of fucking.
Like some kind of.
Like some kind of feminist.
No.
Okay.
Like complete mug.
That in 20 years' time,
if I ever do split up,
you'll probably throw back in me face,
so I'm looking forward to that.
Can't wait to do that.
You can fuck off,
because you're getting knout made.
Can't wait to do that.
Right, listen.
Hi, Chris and Rose.
New Ick, that was really deep.
Just let everyone know that we're kidding there, please.
Sort of kidding, not really.
New Ick Unlocked, come on.
Yeah.
My husband has been obsessed with this song,
but actually, I love men.
I'm only joking.
I always feel like I have to say that.
You love all men.
I love them all.
Except, I tell you who I don't love.
Have I told you about this the other night?
Or the same night that Shell was on our phone,
which people messaged saying they were screaming
at their phones and listening to the podcast.
Shelly?
She might have been called Shelly.
Fucking stick the Y on there.
Not Michelle, I know.
It was quite big writing.
In other words...
In all honesty,
she's got a name on the back of her own phone.
I don't want to know too much about her.
I don't respect that
and I don't think we'd get on.
Similar as that.
Yeah, I was in flares as well.
So it was...
Oh my God, you didn't fucking say that.
It might have been five I had to get in.
You just snored.
I did, yeah.
I did.
Anyway. A five I had to get in f you just snort I did yeah I did anyway
five I had to get in
and you know what
do you know what
I was really annoyed at
they weren't playing
70s music
right
it was like
modern day music
really
and I was
I nearly went up
to the DJ
but I was ready
for my chips
and garlic sauce
so I was like
I'm not even gonna bother
but I was
sorry
who
who the fuck are you
what do you mean
I was in right i was in
flares five to get in they weren't playing you there and i was gonna go up to the dj but i was
ready for me chips and garlic sauce why didn't you get a fucking back at home off your boyfriend
on his electric bike you're screwed sometimes it's good to relive your youth on these nights
out just because you are so i didn are so stuck in your own little ways
and you would never actually do it.
I had to admit it was great.
Apart from, can I tell you?
I'm a stocked up prick, I'll tell you that.
You are.
What really, really, really got us upset, right?
And I know a lot of women out here will feel the same.
And I just, I thought the older I got, I thought it would stop.
But I was on the dance
we were all on the dance floor
we didn't even take
our coats off
we literally had a drink
we were just dancing
it was so good
it was honestly
it was so weird
so horrible
that man didn't even
take me coat off
no I had my coat
full on massive coat on
anyway
on the dance floor
there was these lads right
they were quite young
and he looked quite cool
he had like these
nice glasses on must have only been he must have been about 20 between 25 and 30 right
27 27 and a half something like that yeah and i was dancing and i knew that he tried to talk to
one of my other mates and i just thought oh what a pillock and i was dancing and he kept shoving
us in the shoulder to like to get me attention attention and so I turned around
and I went
you keep booting us
in the shoulder
what's wrong
and he's like
oh sorry
sorry
I'm so sorry
and I was like
yeah
and then we ended up leaving
and I just thought
what the fuck
why is that still happening
why are men
why do men
still think it's okay
to do that
to random women
on a night out
seriously it's the getting the attention to random women on a night out?
Seriously.
It's the getting the attention thing.
It's just a different way of getting the attention.
Does it actually work?
I'm sorry.
Any man that's ever, no matter what, just, no, absolutely not.
How desperate have you got to be?
Is it just throwing up shit and something else to do?
I imagine he's done that to 30 or 40 women that night.
He'd have fucked someone that night. He'd have fucked someone that night.
He'd have took someone home and fucked them.
Oh, I hate him.
I actually,
I can see his face.
Him and Shell
probably had a lovely night.
Yeah, maybe.
I just, honestly,
I was like,
I just,
I hate men like that.
I hate men like that.
And he'll probably go to work
on Monday morning
with women
and be nice
and he'll probably, he'll look like morning with women and be nice and he probably
he looked like
so it's sort of
just it's just
rather than coming up
and going oh
hello I think you're
beautiful do you want
to dance
which doesn't get you
anywhere these days
it's nudging
he was
just nudging
is in the thing
to get your attention
to get me attention
why
are you sure
was he not just like
losing his ballot
no I swear down
I swear to god
he's nudging you
oh wow I'm down I swear to God he's nudging you oh wow
I'm joking
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
wow
alright okay
is that where we are
is that where we are
was he not going to
tear your fucking coat off
you boring
no there was hardly
anyone on the dance floor
it was not an accident
he did it three or four times
before I said
wind your neck in
he's only on the pole man
hey stop nudging us man pervert it's vile I'm sorry before I said, wind your neck in. He's only on the pole, man. Hey!
Stop nudging us, man!
Perfect!
It's vile.
I'm sorry,
I'm not for that life.
I've never been for that life.
Even from being
not of an age to be in a pub,
I was still like,
do not dare.
And then,
I don't know.
And then,
I've had men say to me,
literally men who have
grabbed you on the arse
or they've like pulled you by the arm
and then you go, yeah, fuck off.
And they're like, whoa, God.
And they're literally like, whoa, chill out.
And you're like, are you joking me?
You are invading my space.
You're a complete stranger and this is not okay.
And I'm just, and the amount of times
it's happened in my life is so,
and any woman, any woman listen, and it's happened in my life, it's so, and any woman,
any woman listen,
and it's happened,
and I just find it,
it's a completely different podcast,
but episode,
it could do a full thing,
but it's just,
I thought I was,
I thought I was out of that.
I thought at 37,
two children and a husband at home
on a night out with the girls
with a coat on in flares,
I thought I was past the nudging stage.
Still got it. I was just about to say
that
Jesus Christ
see I didn't want to say
still got it
because you've just done
like quite a powerful
thing about it
I shouldn't
I'm not happy about it
but at the same time
and then I got ID'd
at the bar
as well
I can't believe it
have you tried writing
on the back of your jacket
37
two kids at home husband
you shouldn't have to do
that. It shouldn't be okay.
So what did he say when you
gave him a... He was like, sorry, I'm so
sorry. And I was like,
fuck you. Nice. And then
we're left. Nice.
Good work. Thank you. Well done.
It won't have done anything. You'd have just done it to somebody
else. And like you said, he wasn't actually a bad looking guy.
He probably did pull.
You're sending mixed messages with this little rant,
I'll be honest with you.
No, it's just irritating, isn't it?
Yeah, I've never had it, you know, I've never been nudged.
No, you won't have been, Chris.
That's the sad thing.
Anyway, shall we get to this ick?
I feel a bit bad for it now.
I don't want to now.
Sorry.
Sorry to Daisy who's got to edit this.
I feel like I have to go and get a job
as a doorman on Flay's.
You should.
But that's,
there you go,
that's a sad thing.
Why isn't that
like looked out for more?
Yeah.
You know?
I mean,
I imagine,
I imagine if a woman goes,
I imagine if women
go up to the doorman
and go,
these guys are really
bothering me.
I imagine they get
turfed out quite,
quite regularly.
I hope so.
Yeah.
And then they should
have their face
on the front of the bar
and be like
nudge watch
nudger
yeah
yeah
you've got pub watch
you've got nudge watch
nudge watch
nudge watch
oh my gosh
he's a nudger
I might go around
colleges
talking about nudging
talking about the nudge watch
there's much worse
things than a nudge
to be fair
he's obviously just
a cheeky fucker
trying to
yeah of course
he didn't grab your arse
he didn't
he just nudged you
no but still
yeah still though do you think it's okay that I was on a night out at 11 o'clock at night you fucker trying to yeah of course he didn't grab your arse he didn't he just nudged you no but still yeah
still though
do you think it's okay
that I was on a night out
at 11 o'clock at night
and I'm getting nudged
by random blokes
an empty dance floor as well
yeah
how am I
well no of course
I don't think it's alright
I'm just trying to think
across all angles
when you first said it
if you go back
and listen to it
you first said it
I went quiet
you know
I fantasised about
Dars choking him
yeah I know
but that's
I know
that's a different story
I'm not going to say that on here
I think it's just sad
because I know that you would never do that
and you would have never done that
when you were single in a million years.
And like I say,
there is some lovely men out there
and it's awful that it kind of gets,
you know,
and I don't mean it like that
because I know so many lovely blokes
who wouldn't dream of doing that.
Oh, there's dickheads out there.
There's dickheads.
It just always spoils it, doesn't it? Yeah. But then there's dickheads out there there's dickheads it just always spoils it doesn't it
yeah
but then there's
dickhead women as well
so listen
yeah
I'm so sorry everyone
that we went round
the houses with that
but welcome back
and this is the new ick
right new ick
unlocked today
my husband
has been obsessed
with a sonic game
on his iPhone
right
initially downloaded
for our five year old son
he was soon banned
from the game
as my husband
started taking the game too seriously i ended up letting our son play on my phone instead today as my husband
worked out that he can sync the phones and they can play together my son came running upstairs
asking mummy can you pay for this new chest it's only 10 pound monies in bracket screen said £9.99 and he wouldn't know
that that was £10
so I immediately knew
that his dad told him
to ask me that
I said no
I'm not paying for a game
he said
but daddy bide this one
daddy bide two of them
my husband has been paying
to upgrade himself
on this game
ick
oh dude
don't pay for the upgrades oh no part of us though part of us even
though i've just slagged off male kind i'm really sorry about that um if he's enjoying it like you
know and now but you know you're allowed to say you're a kid like yeah don't pay don't pay for
the what a cheater get them on your own don't pay for the fucking chest so what is that
oh okay
right okay
so coming from
a Sonic guy
yourself
what does it even mean
so what
you can earn them
or pay for them
you couldn't do that
back in the day
so with all of these games
there's in app purchases
and there's ways of
a part I think
is it Fortnite
is the one that you can't do
someone like
a guy
we're not at Fortnite yet
a guy BGG
is one of the he makes Fortnite one of the guys I'm training with yeah he's one of the he's literally Fortnite's the one that you can't do. We're not at Fortnite yet. We're not. A guy, BJJ,
he makes Fortnite,
one of the guys
I'm training with.
Yeah, he's literally,
he's a coder on Fortnite
because he had a Fortnite
backpack on
and I was like,
fuck what you're doing?
And he was like,
oh, I work for them.
I was like, oh my God.
Shut up.
Yeah, and I think with them,
I don't think you can,
is it one of them
you can't buy stuff
to make yourself better?
You can just buy skins
and make yourself look different.
Yeah, I think it's Fortnite.
You can make your character
look different,
but you can't make your character's
attributes better with money.
But with a lot of other things
you can,
you can buy better guns,
you can buy loads of different stuff.
But, you know,
just fucking earn them yourself.
It's cheating.
It's cheating.
Oh, fair enough.
Spending money on the games,
if you're a real gamer,
you don't do that.
You earn them yourself.
You know,
if you're on Destiny,
you do a raid
and you get all the
over-the-arm out of you.
Nerd.
Money nerd. Cheater. You're a nerd. You're an icky icky little sit in the dark wait on your lemon computer nerd that's disgusting don't make me come on this table and nudge you
hi chris and rosie i love your podcast and i'm from i'm from new zealand oh hello in fact i was
playing it in a nine-hour car trip the other week
and my 10 and 13-year-old are now fans.
Oh my gosh, hello.
Hello.
That's terrifying.
Oh, but she says with some fast forwarding through certain things.
That must have been a stressful drive.
Yeah.
It says, you will love this story.
My mum was a real estate agent when I was growing up
and would do anything to seal the deal.
I would love to work in real estate, mate.
Only massive, lush, expensive
houses.
With no pressure to sell them.
You want to look around big houses?
Yeah, that's all I want to do.
Quite quickly I've filtered through that bullshit.
Right.
Right.
And only here. right I hate you why
and only here
I'd love
what you just said there was
I'd love to be a real estate agent
but I wouldn't like
to sell the houses
I have any pressure
of selling the houses
or tidying the houses
or booking anything in
I just want to show people around
you want to go into a big house
and look around it
why don't you just go and view
no in fact
no don't go and view them
no I'll take that back right now
no I won't
that's a slippery slope.
Yeah.
One night, we had our clients over to get the sale across the line,
and they brought their children.
This was when you had to get up and press an actual button
to turn the TV on and off.
Yes.
Remember them days?
And their three-year-old kept pushing the button,
turning it on and off all the time.
Oh, get him away.
My dad is an imposing six foot three
man loving is anything but imposing yeah he kindly asked the child hey mate how about you stop doing
that the three-year-old then turned to my dad and said shut up you fat cunt
oh i didn't see that coming hey person who wrote this, I hope you fast-forwarded that, by the way,
for your kids in the car.
We just sat there flabbergasted,
trying not to laugh.
This is now his nickname
and has been since that day over 30 years ago.
There's something about the Kiwis and the Aussies
that is just so beautifully charming
that they will just call their own dad a fat cunt
as a nickname because a three year old once called him it.
It's brilliant though isn't it? Outstanding.
Absolutely brilliant. Outstanding.
But it doesn't stop there. Fast forward
to me as a grown up with my parents becoming
grandparents. My nephew started
calling my dad Pookie.
P-U-K-E-I. Instead of Grandad or something
like that. Which has stuck.
He is known as pookie to
everyone now and also either pookie or fat cunt depends what day i bet he was pausing the day
pookie came in like i bet he'd been waiting for that for a long long time oh that is the absolute
rebranding that he was needing yeah one time when they were coming back from a long overseas trip
we all went to the airport to meet them i had a baby since they went on the trip so it was a big Pookie, not pukey.
Pookie, sorry. Pookie.
It sounds like pukey.
It is key to note they were on an Air Malaysia flight
and with mainly Malaysian passengers
were coming through the arrivals gate
and were giving us weird looks.
Some even mad.
Oh no.
I thought maybe seeing all of our full-on family
was a bit overwhelming after a long flight.
No.
We had someone approach us to say,
why do you have that sign?
So I explained it was because we were so excited to see my parents and have the grandkids reunited.
To which the person explained that Pookie is actually slang in Malaysian for cunt.
We were holding up signs for the Malaysian arriving passengers that said, we love, and hi.
What a welcome in New Zealand.
But that's his nickname.
Yeah, priceless.
And given his nickname, it is a little ironic Zealand But that's his nickname Yeah Priceless And given his nickname It is a little ironic
So that's amazing
So the new
Kid
Yeah
Accidentally
Started calling him
A different language
A Malaysian version
Of the same thing
Yeah
Oh wow
I love that
I think
I think he's being told
I think
Across the generations
And across the languages I think this blog Is told. I think across the generations and across the languages,
I think this blog is a bit of a con.
Dear Rosie and Chris,
please keep me anonymous,
particularly as I would like to save my mum
who listens to the podcast
is able to guess that this story
has been sent in by me.
Ooh, that's exciting.
Going back a few years,
my family were out doing some shopping. We popped into the toy shop as me and my brother were still quite
small and it was something to keep us entertained oh love love a smith's trip oh i had something to
do i took hate weekends uh hashtag hate weekends i took the boys to asda yesterday oh big asda um
big asda and we just walked up the toy aisle and they were both flabbergasted
that they couldn't get anything.
Rafe was like,
can I get,
they weren't kicking off
but they were just like,
can I get there?
And I was like, no.
You can look.
I was like,
today isn't a getting things.
This is a,
you can look as much as you fucking want
but I'm just killing time here, boys.
That's all this is.
You've got to learn that.
Yeah.
A lot of times as a kid
I got told,
no.
My whole life was that.
Exactly.
Have I ever told you about the time?
This is so,
there used to be a cartoon
called Bucky O'Hare.
Remember Bucky O'Hare? No. What's it, hang on what how bucky oh hey big bucky bucky oh hey is it a rabbit yeah oh my god and what bucky oh hey and toad whoa oh yeah space never
watched it myself absolutely yeah not my crack but yeah, okay, this is totally you. Yeah.
So I remember being in Woolworths, rest in peace,
in South Shields.
Stop.
If I've told this before, I apologise,
but it's just a random memory.
No, I've never heard of Bucky O'Hare.
Come on.
So I wanted this Bucky O'Hare toy, right?
It's horrendous in our accent, I'm sorry.
Bucky O'Hare.
Bucky O'Hare.
I love it.
It's my birthday.
If I'm fancy,
a little bit of
buckle your hair the night,
me and you.
So I wanted this toy
and my mum was like,
no, no, you know,
it's not your birthday.
It's not a thing.
And I was like,
please, mum,
please, please, please.
And I laid on,
laid on a fucking good begging,
good bit of groveling.
I'll do this.
I'll do that.
Don't give us any pocket money.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I'm standing downstairs,
toy bit in Woolworths Celsius,
which was epic, let's be honest.
It was unreal.
And she went, right, okay, you can get it.
And just as she said it,
I'll never forget this,
just as she said it,
I mean, I have slightly forgot it,
to be fair,
it's come back now,
but just as she went, right, okay, you can get it,
an old lady appeared round the aisle
literally appeared
from nowhere
round the aisle
and just looked at my mum
and went
I wouldn't get it me
I wouldn't
if they
when they're whinging
and asking for something like that
and it's not their birthday
or Christmas or something
I wouldn't get it me
I wouldn't give in
and she fucking changed her mind
and made us put it back
shut up
I'm telling you
that's the devil
changed her mind and made us put it back. Oh, shut up. I'm telling you. That's the devil. She's the devil, that woman.
Changed her mind and made us put it back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What an interfering old bat.
Unbelievable.
I'm telling you, I was fucking furious.
And I remember glaring at the woman.
I glared at her.
My mum was like, no, she's right.
Put it back.
That's hilarious.
I didn't know that story at all.
Rosie, I was fucking raging.
What funny.
Who was this woman? Don't know. She must have been Rosie, I was fucking raging. What funny? Who was this woman?
Don't know.
She must have been in her 70s.
That's so funny.
The only solace I take is
she's definitely dead now.
I don't care if that's hard.
I was so angry.
Oh, I'd be fuming.
I was so angry.
But me ma'am, just...
Woman she's never met.
Her own flesh and blood.
Oh yeah, you're right.
No, I want to look cool
in front of this strange random woman.
Didn't get us it.
Unbelievable.
Didn't we mention on here
when I was in that shop
and Robin was little
and them two old women
like,
telling us off for letting him,
like,
he wasn't really,
he ran away from us
and they were like,
eh, well,
I would never have let my babe do that.
And you know what?
I was like,
yeah, you, fuck off. I was like yeah you fuck off
I was so annoyed
the thing is now
what I would do
just because I'm
you know
obviously
I don't know
one because I'm affected
by that old woman
doing that to us
and two because I'm
you know dare say
at a bit of a bell end
if I was with Robin
and Robin was like
please can I get this
please please please
and I was like
go on you can get it
and then some random
man or woman appeared
and went
I wouldn't give in me
I'd go
Robin
pick another one as well
while I'd have
full eye contact with them
and I'd go
Robin
pick yourself another one
no
pick yourself another two
they're meant to be
they're meant to be
lovely aren't they
most interactions
I have with elderly people
are like
and actually
if anything
sometimes
I've been telling the burns off and people are like and actually if anything sometimes I've been
telling the burns off
and people are like
leave him alone
and I'm like
well
let me tell
but
oh
it's God for life
I did get the book
your hair thing
but I got it from
I think I got it
for my birthday
or Christmas
I remember
he had like
a rubber cape
I remember
really really well
I remember this rubber cape
on the back
oh your mum
I must have put her
in a really weird position
though
yeah that's just
sort of gave in, didn't you?
Quit her.
Weak.
Weak.
Anyway, right.
Sorry, we keep digressing
a lot today.
These are in the toy shop
to just be entertained, okay?
Oh, shit, yeah.
Forgot about that.
After looking round for a while
and picking up a few toys
for gifts, etc.,
we headed to the tills to pay.
Whilst my mum was paying, my dad saw a massive
teddy bear sat at the end of the till.
Assuming this was on display,
he picked it up and began to punch it in the face
thinking it would make me and my brother laugh.
It did. However,
as he put the teddy bear back down again,
stood directly underneath him was a four-year-old
girl, tearing up as she watched a
middle-aged man punch what was her now
her new favourite teddy bear in the face.
Thank you.
So it wasn't on display.
It was hers.
He just gave her a fucking chicken.
Absolutely.
Thrashed it.
Hey, kids, look at this!
Wah!
Mommy! Hey, kids, look at this. Mommy.
That man attacked the teddy.
Oh, that's beautiful.
That's absolutely beautiful.
Hi, Chris and Rosie.
I've recently started listening to your podcast
and I'm working my way through past episodes.
Ooh, welcome to the party, pal.
I've just listened to episode 168
where somebody asked
whether it was okay
for a guy to pay for a date
with vouchers
and I think I can top it.
Oh, I remember that.
I do remember that one.
I'd been talking to a guy
for a little while
and we finally went
on our first proper date
to a popular Italian restaurant.
Okay.
I love the Italian restaurant dates.
Yeah.
Did you not?
Pacino's, South Shields.
I didn't have any dates in them. Did you not? I went for, South Shields. I didn't have any dates in them.
Did you not?
I went for meals
with girlfriends
that I had
but I never went on
date meal dates
with people
until you.
You were my first one.
You were my first meal date.
Oh was I?
Yeah yeah.
You were 26?
So?
That's rank.
You'd never been on a date
in a restaurant?
Not like a restaurant one.
No no.
Oh my god.
Not like the one you want to eat.
You've seen how fast I eat.
You've seen that I've gone deep in, you know,
I've wrapped myself up in a garlic bread.
Yeah, that is true.
Come on, man.
We fell very quickly, didn't we?
We did fall very quickly.
Oh, that's cute.
Probably because you never experienced any different.
You already thought, oh, she eats nicely.
This is nice.
No, no, I just, I don't know.
When you know, you know.
I'd been waiting for you, I think.
Didn't know.
Disgusting.
Ick.
Oh, look at him complimenting us. I like it stop it i remember that that well i never forget when you said do you want to go out for a meal and i said i don't know i don't go for meals and
you went oh come on let's go for a meal and i went no and that old woman appeared and went i
wouldn't go out for a meal with her if i was you and i went no you know what we'll go out for two
meals we'll we'll eat meals together
for the rest of our lives.
Yeah, how do you like that?
Yeah, I don't even like you, Rosie.
I'm just doing it
to prove that old woman wrong.
Can't say old woman.
No?
I did that.
Probably not.
Brilliant.
Right, anyway.
We had a lovely time
and I was really enjoying myself.
But then it got to the part
where we needed to pee.
Being the gentleman he was,
he insisted on paying,
which I accepted gratefully.
Oh, God.
However.
Red flag.
Run a mile, mate.
However, I wasn't quite prepared for what happened next.
Right.
He proceeded to whip out vouchers to pay the bill.
Right.
Not one, but three separate vouchers.
When he told me where he got them from,
I couldn't work out if it was sweet or just a massive ick. Right. Do you want to guess how he's got the vouchers. When he told me where he got them from, I couldn't work out if it was sweet or just a massive ick.
Do you want to guess how he's
got them? First of all,
alarm bells are ringing here because I'm worried that
these vouchers can't be used in conjunction with each
other, which is going to really upset me. Oh, it's going to be sad,
isn't it? No, if he's got three
vouchers, he's done his research. Right, okay then.
What do you think he's got them from? Mysteries,
mysteries. Where's he got them from?
Okay, so is it sweet or an ick? So it can't be something weird like I got them out of a where's he got them from okay so is it sweet
or an ick
so it can't be something weird
like I got them out of a porn mag
or whatever
because that's not
going to be sweet
no
something like
me nana's
collected them up for us
or something like that
my grandma's
collected them
or something like that
right
you're wrong
brilliant
but that would be quite sweet
would it
I don't know
first date
nah put me off okay if don't know first date right now
put me off okay if i if i went on first date you want you don't want nudging but you want a bit of
bit of rough you don't want first date oh my nana gave it me nana recommended this restaurant
right i would run i would run a mile wow okay I want to lie
I want to lie
and then when I
fall in love with you
tell us a year later
and I'll go
aww
once I know you
but for the beginning
I want to have sex with you
I don't want to think about
getting vouchers
and recommendations
from your nana
right okay
good stuff
what about halfway through
having sex
by the way this is
my nana's favourite position
she told us
what is wrong with you
what is actually wrong with you
I don't know
come on let's find out what you are
because then I want to ask you
where it would be acceptable
to get the vouchers from
come on then
okay so
he had earned them
by completing surveys online
to convert into points
and eventually vouchers
fucking hell
yeah no
what's she talking about
that's not sweet.
That's not just fucking,
oh my God.
When you find out his age,
it's going to be even worse, right?
So at 19 years old,
he spent his spare time
logging onto a website
and answering surveys.
Oh no.
Listen to this though,
this is nice.
Anyway,
fast forward seven years
and we are now planning
our wedding for next year.
Oh,
how many surveys
is he gonna have
to pay for that wedding jesus christ i don't know if i could get on board doing surveys
not on the first date not on the first date but the thing is right he's probably just like me one
of those a fucking pillock who just tells everyone everything the things I say to people and then later on I think
why have I said that? Oh mate, that's
my life, but just, see he won
them at work. But no, he's gone
he probably wasn't going to say anything, oh I've got
these vouchers, bit of silence
I'll fill the silence, oh I did them doing surveys online
I do it, it's amazing, you should do it
why have I said that, why have I said that, why have I said that
oh my god she wants another date
that's great so where
would be acceptable if me and you went on my first date and i paid with vouchers first date first date
i whipped three vouchers out i go put your money away love i've got vouchers for this where would
be acceptable for me to have got them okay what if i said got the because we went out you know we
were together a long time ago 10 10 years ago so got these free in nuts magazine awful got these in
fhm awful um found these way somewhere no but right okay dare i say it save your vouchers
take your nana or your mom or someone okay pay in cash okay or card on a date is that really bad of us to say
I would have
you probably should have said
go half us
if you are
if you are a true feminist
and you believed all that
anti-nudging bullshit
you laid down earlier on
I do
we did go half us
a lot of times
nah not in the first minute
I offered
yeah
definitely offered
definitely didn't go half us
on my first two houses
dickhead
wow
didn't I
didn't I tell you that you would throw it in my face?
Didn't I say?
Not even later in life.
Didn't I say?
Literally 40 minutes after you said it.
This is why I've got an interview with the account.
Not an interview, a meeting.
Anyway, I just, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe a couple of months in, I wouldn't mind a voucher.
First date, I don't want a voucher.
I can't get my head around,
we've talked about it on episode 100 and whatever.
I can't get my head around why it's weird,
but it is weird.
What, the voucher?
It is weird.
It's one of them things on the first date,
it just, I don't know,
I don't agree with you should take them out
and spend a load of money
and you'll flash the cash.
I don't believe in that. But I also don't believe in, should take them out and spend a load of money and you'll flash the cash. I don't believe in that.
But I also don't believe in,
hey, stay with me.
This is your future.
Vouchers on a Friday night in their restaurants.
I don't actually really believe in that.
Men should pay for everything.
I'm quite liberal like that.
I'm very much at the back.
But again, I'm exactly on the same page.
But I can't quite put my finger on
why the vouchers are strange.
But they are strange. And I don on why the vouchers are strange but they
are strange and i don't know why they are strange yeah and i love it i love the idea of these like
like steering out away from certain things on the menu because they're not covered on the
meal deals so uh sorry sorry love you can't get the chicken tikka masala uh not the chicken tikka
is not covered on on the meal deal so here's an, so right, why they should have,
sorry I went straight Indian there,
it was actually Italian
but go on.
Yeah,
just in my opinion,
take them,
so go on the first date,
pay like normal currency
and then the second date
go,
I've got these vouchers
for this restaurant,
do you fancy it?
Then I would go,
I would go,
oh yeah,
definitely.
That restaurant
that we liked,
yeah,
I've got some vouchers for it,
do you want to go again
yeah
exactly
there you go
okay then
alright so lads
if you're listening
and lasses
don't be whipping your vouchers out
on a first date
yeah
that's not a euphemism by the way
I mean
but also
I mean you can whip your cock out
on the first date
only if she asks you to whip your cock out
on the first date
yeah
and or
penis
vagina
breasts
whatever you're whipping out
just make sure it's not the vouchers.
Whip out whatever you... Okay.
Whip out whatever you want on the first day
as long as it's not the vouchers.
Unless they want you to whip the vouchers.
Oh, God. It's a minefield, isn't it?
It is. It's scary. I'm glad I'm out of it.
Babadoo babadoo babadoo
ba.
Do do do do do do.
Thank you for listening to this week's episode of Shag Rarinoid.
With me, Rosie Ramsey, and my husband, Chris Ramsey.
And we're part of the Acast Creator Network.
Go on, tell them.
In between the last bit you just heard and this bit,
Rosie had to nip the toilet.
And she came back and she picked her headphones up off her microphone.
And she picked them up too hard and hit herself in the face with them.
I really hurt.
I might have a bruise on that, you know.
I was crossing the bridge of my nose with my headphones.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, it was tragic.
Dangerous work, this podcast, life.
Workplace injury.
Claim.
Have we got an HR?
Oh, no, we don't have an HR.
It's just me and you.
It's literally me and you.
In fact, I'll be HR for a second.
What happened?
I hit me.
Don't care.
Thanks for listening, everyone.
We'll be back in your ears next week.
Bye.
See you later.
