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.

this is
look this is
this is where the money's made
this is the real sponsor
big big one this week
big big sponsor
it's time for this week's
lucrative lucrative sponsor
this week's sponsor is
a brand new
government initiative
it's the new government's legislation surrounding Valentine's Day.
I don't really know what legislation.
Rules.
Right.
Rules.
Thank you for that.
Have you not seen the new government's rules on Valentine's Day?
No.
So from now on, every Valentine's Day, right,
you have to buy someone at least a beer from a card shop holding a heart.
Oh, of course.
Right? Yeah. And you have to at least, at least, bay from a card shop holding a heart. Oh, of course. Right?
Yeah.
And you have to at least,
at least,
starting from today,
at least get wanked off
or fingered
or you get fined
by your local council.
And that's...
And that, that's,
that's facts.
That's, that,
they're trying to get money back.
This is horrible.
That's, no,
you'll get,
honest, don't worry, I phoned up and paid the fine
this morning in advance
oh yeah
I have a name
I thought Valentine's Day
was meant to be nice
why are you naming me
two worse things
I saw the legislation
I phoned up
I went I'll just
can't I just pay over the phone
how much is the fine
five grand
took a hit
took the five grand hit
I was like
I'm not asking you for a wank today.
It's not happening.
We've got to do the podcast.
No.
So yeah, took the hit.
So you're welcome.
Thanks.
Totally unrelated note,
I'm going to need two and a half grand off you.
Honestly,
you can have a wank.
You can have a wank.
I'm not paying two and a half grand.
Not a chance.
No, honestly,
happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Even though it's a crock of shit,
but have a lovely day.
No, I think you should celebrate it throughout the year.
I think you should do nice things for each other all the time
rather than just that one day.
I believe we've spoke about it before.
And I believe, to me, it always just smacks of like,
I don't know, I just feel a bit like if I go past the local Italians tonight
and there's just like loads of couples sitting there,
I just feel like...
Well, I was just saying, I think it's a young thing.
Yeah.
I think when you're younger, Valentine's Day is exciting. Yeah. And it's saying, I think it's a young thing. Yeah. I think when you're younger,
Valentine's Day is exciting.
Yeah.
And it's like,
oh, it's Valentine's Day.
And maybe you haven't been going out
with someone as long.
Maybe you've, you know,
you've just started going out with them
and you know,
their birthday's in October
and then you've got Christmas
and then your birthday's in January.
Oh, but there's Valentine's Day.
And to be fair,
it's, what's it today?
Wednesday.
You know,
if the local Italians
are getting a few quid on a Wednesday,
what they normally have to wait for weekends.
Well, exactly. Other restaurants from other countries are available as well. Yeah. Wednesday you know if the local Italians are getting a few quid on a Wednesday but they normally have to wait for weekends well exactly other restaurants
from other countries
are available as well
yeah but
so there we go
do you want to be having
a Ruby Murray
on Valentine's Day
do you want to yeah
but then
although actually
what's the
okay so
curry farts
or garlic breath
if you both have garlic
it doesn't matter
you could go to the restaurant
that I went to
the other week.
Yeah.
Mexican slash Italian.
Oh it's got all the world.
Yeah.
He's got the whole world
in his restaurant.
Did I ever tell you?
I must have.
I must have.
In hindsight
it sounds disgusting right
but at the time
it was absolutely lush.
Okay.
I used to go to this restaurant
in Leeds
Right.
that had
it was like
all around the world
I can't even remember what it was called
It was a buffet restaurant
Okay
And it just had
Yeah
All the different foods from all over
But honestly
It was really nice
A world buffet
Yes
Yes
It was in the
It was in the nice part of Leeds
Where it's like
That's where it has the
Christmas market
No it sounds like it was in a lovely place
Honestly
Yeah
Back in the day
How long ago was that? 15 year ago Yeah has the Christmas market. No, it sounds like it was a lovely place. Honestly, back in the day,
how long ago was that?
15 year ago?
Yeah.
Maybe it's a bit more.
Really nice.
Yeah.
I really enjoyed going there.
I was like,
oh, okay.
For me,
I'll go to China.
For me, I'll go to China.
I hop over to India.
Aye.
Yeah.
And then what else?
The old carbon footprint courses.
Like fucking Taylor Swift. On my jet. Oh, and then what else was Italian? The old carbon footprint courses. Like fucking Taylor Swift.
On my jet.
Oh, don't, man.
I tell you what,
I do remember those things.
Once, where was me,
I was doing a gig somewhere,
I can't remember where it was,
and I had me Nando's black card at the time.
And I was fuming that this,
oh God, I was fuming that this place
didn't have a Nando's,
that ended up going to like
Jack's World
Buffet or whatever
it was called
it was one of them
where you get up
and you know
no this was much
nicer than that
you're making it
sound awful
it was lovely
oh my god
no you're remembering
it wrong
it was fucking shit
yes I'm telling you
now it was fucking shit
Jack of all trades
master of none
I am not fucking
trusting somewhere
where your chef
can knock up
burger curry
chow mein
pizza fucking Yorkorkshire pudding
it was a michelin star i said bollocks michelin star it was triple rose call us a snob you know
what i'm like now but everyone listening you know what i'm like by now but you know the world buffet
it is jack of all trades mastering on but i i can't remember where it was but i was doing car
was supporters and we went to this like no no, Carl wasn't supporting us actually.
This night, Tom Deacon was supporting us, a friend of mine, a comedian.
He attended our wedding, you know Tom.
I do.
That's why I said yes.
Well, you know, I was just-
Tell them all his shoe size.
I think he does like, what is his shoe size?
Oh, God.
I'll get my ring.
No.
We went to this World Buffet place and I went on stage and I slagged it off for ages and
like one guy was like looking weird at us.
And I was like, what's wrong?
He was like, you know, there's a Nando's next door to that.
And I checked afterwards and the Nando's was set back.
Oh, you moron.
So if you looked at it from one angle,
you could just see this.
And I went in the World Buffet
and the Nando's was literally next door.
Yes, but the World Buffet might not have Portuguese.
I think they probably did.
I imagine they did.
So you didn't enjoy your time at the World Buffet?
No, I've done World Buffet a couple of times. Not yeah not a fan i'm sure big looks at the metro center was a
big was a world buffet thing was it yeah oh i used to quite like world buff and we used to like big
looks and tay bonds bring back tay bonds nothing you like the aspect of just being able to go up
again and again and again i think i think well i can just you know now that i can eat anything
next to anything so i could happily have a chicken tikka masala with chips and gravy.
Yeah.
That does not upset me at all.
No.
I can mix them together.
You could have a Sunday dinner with a curry on the side, couldn't you?
Yeah, that's what I used to get a tape on.
Brilliant.
Finally put on Sunday dinner with a fish cake.
Can you put a fish cake in my Yorkshire pudding, please?
Thank you.
And some sausage and beans.
Honestly, bring them back.
I loved it.
Then again, you know, I am a massive hypocrite
because back in the day, I was so, so partial
to pizza with curry on top.
Well, there you go.
Good God.
That is nice.
Good God.
We're overdue a takeaway, you know.
We are overdue a takeaway.

Hello and welcome back to this week's episode of Shagged, Married and Annoyed.
You know, obviously it is Valentine's Day today.
Sorry to keep banging on about it, but I really do, I love Galentine's Day.
I think that's quite cute.
What is Galentine's Day?
Just like, just sod whoever, your man or whatever, or woman.
Just go out with your mates.
Galentine's.
Happy Galentine's Day.
Okay.
I didn't know that was a thing.
Friends are special.
Okay.
So who's doing this and when are you doing it?
Are you doing this?
I don't know about this.
Not today.
Didn't think forward.
I'm not doing anything today.
I am out on Saturday, though, which I'm looking forward to.
And you are out on Friday because do you know folks listening at home
I can't have a night out
without Chris
having a night out
at the same time
so every time I say
are you in on Saturday
because I think
I'm going to go out
with the girls
he then
he goes
yes I am
and then
20 minutes later
sometimes even shorter
he goes
I'm going to go out
with the lads
on Friday
which is fine
but why have you got a copy of us?
Get your own social life.
Two things.
One, it wasn't me.
Jordan spoke to me and said,
do you want to go out this week?
Is that because I'm going out with Jordan's partner?
The words that Jordan may have uttered
were something along the lines of,
if the lasses are going out, we need to get a night as well.
But you don't.
I don't understand. I didn't. He did, and I agreed. No, but you're all the same. if the lasses are going out, we need to get a night out as well. But you don't. I don't understand.
I didn't. He did and I agreed.
No, but you're all the same. So that's what you normally do though.
So why can't I just have a night out
without you having to have a night out?
Why does me having a night out affect you having a night out?
It doesn't. But you know when you say to me
I'm going out, I don't then go
girls, assemble
like on the phone.
WhatsApp the lot. Heapp the lot he's out
I'm out
that's because you've normally
already got a few booted in

I would love a spa day.
Cuddle.
I'm well overdue a spa day, actually.
You always say this.
You always say this, but you can't fucking sit still.
You can't sit still on the day off in the house.
You can't do it.
I know. You wouldn't be able to sit still in a spa anymore.
You'd be on your phone doing stuff.
Oh, God.
Why?
Yeah.

I genuinely can't enjoy a day off.
No.
I used to be able to sit and do fuck all. I walked five miles yesterday. Yeah. Why? Yeah, you didn't need to off. No. I used to be able to sit. I walked five miles yesterday.

Me mum.
Sandra.
We've talked before about how she just won't have that treadmills or indoor bikes do anything,
will she?
No, no.
She thinks that fresh air, sort of, she thinks you could walk two miles outside or
you could run 10 miles on the treadmill and the two mile outside walk would be better than the
10 mile run because of the fresh air yeah i think so she thinks it's some kind of like combustion
engine in which fixes you the air makes it pretty good you know i walked down the main road breathing
in everyone's car fumes yeah yeah cracking that like get your lungs full. She's fucking mad. She's mad.
So we had an event for a little couple of days, didn't we?
Power cuts.

I think we cover
the different ranges of emotions and how people deal with me but a lot of people agree with you um carry on we cover the uh different
ranges of emotions and how people deal with its situations i think we cover most bases between

our basic so here we go we walk up right uh i'm obviously um we're in separate bedrooms because
you know because um the love is gone um you know because Loveless married The lover's gone You know the government
are trying their best
with this legislation

Dory.
I'll remember it.
Right, okay.
Good for you.
Show off.
We tried putting the lads in a room together, which was great.
And we spent, you know, we went to bed.
But then I was very aware that you just, you know, other than if you do get sexy, but we
didn't get sexy at this precise time, you just go to sleep.
Yeah.
You just roll over and go to sleep.
So I really don't see anything wrong with what we're doing right now.
I quite like waking up at night and knowing exactly where they are.
I know you've got one of them, I know I've got one of them,
and I know they're fine.
Yeah.
If I wake up and it's just me and you,
what are they doing?
What's happened?
Has one of them rolled on the other one?
Where are they?
Has he gone downstairs?
I mean, no, no.
Okay, right, okay.
Didn't want to
didn't want to have a fight
with you today
but yeah
the night that we put them
in the bed
you just fell straight asleep
without actually saying
goodnight to me
or anything
just fast asleep
and the monitor
which I'd put on them
because Rafe's still only little
and I was you know
wanting to keep an eye on him
you didn't
had nothing to do with that
so you just went
straight to sleep
without saying
no but you didn't say
who's going to look
after the monitor
who's going to keep
the monitor on the
other side of the bed
it was just assumed
just assumed that it was me
so that's
love that about being me
love that
love that part of
parenthood
I thought I would do
the following night
you can fuck off
would you shit
honestly
I would
just to be your man
for a day
just to be your man
just to do you know what I like no no no I could not for a day, just to be a man, just to...
Do you know what I'm like?
No, no, no, no, no.
I could not have just gone to sleep
without saying or discussing the night.
The difference is you could,
so I would love to be a woman.
I would love to be a woman
because I would love to have the fucking gall on myself
to have a go at someone for falling asleep.
To probably go, right, right, you.
Gloves up, you fell asleep, you fucking bastard.
I fell asleep.
Chris, it's not that.
It's not.
I'm not having a go at you for falling asleep.
You meant to fall asleep.
I'm just having a go at the fact that you can just go to sleep
and shut your eyes without any sort of, what's the word?
Any sort of responsibility for the kids.
Whereas I.
The monitor was on the floor.
No, it can't, like...
You just didn't even discuss what would happen?
Because I fell asleep.
Fell.
The word is fell.
I fell asleep.
I could not tell you the last time that I've just fell asleep
without any sort of...
If me kids weren't...
I've never...
Chris, in eight years,
I have never just fell asleep without having to set an alarm
or check that the kids are okay or make sure that the monitor was on the right volume
or plugged in.
Like, Chris, I have never, never done that.
It was plugged in.
It was plugged in.
It was on the right volume.
It was just a little bit far away from the bed.
Right?
I fell. I fell. That's fine. I'm just, can you not agree? Can you not agree? in it was on the right volume it was just a little bit far away from the bed right i fell i fell i
fell asleep can you not agree can you not agree i can agree sort of but like that's the thing you're
always going about i wish i was a man i wish i was a man i wish i was a woman so i could just
fucking start pick a fight with some poor cunt for falling a kip wow okay crazy right on you
the neck on you just fall asleep without any sort of like, right, they're in the bed.
What she would do if, right, you have them on then.
What she would do if Rafe falls out of bed.
Like, I had to put the pillows at the side of the bed to make sure he didn't fall and crack his head open.
Must just, all I'm saying is, it just must be nice.
That's all I'm saying.
All right.
But you know, you deal with that stuff.
So, he isn't that.
I'm not trying to I'm not
I don't want to turn it
into a gender thing
a man and woman
this is me
backing down
I'm rolling over
I'm showing you my belly
right
stop
Mrs Crazy Pants
right
I'm sorry
I fell asleep
shame on me
shit look
I will go to the
doctor's tomorrow
and I will get these
eyelids whipped off
right
so it will never
happen again
right
that would really appreciate it
you would as well wouldn't you
no just
how are you man
how are you
alright
alright
alright
it's just
it's a burden that we carry
it's just
it's just life innit
but you know
again
told you a million times
you cannot be
you cannot be
the
control freak
and
the martyr
at the same time
you can't be both what do time. You can't be both.
What do you mean?
You can't be both.
You would have had to know
that the things were there.
You would have to know
but you want to be in control
of everything
and then you kick off
about being in control
of everything.
It's your thing.
I don't want to be in control
of everything.
I just feel like I have to be.
Well, you don't.
That'd have been fine.
He's not going to roll out.
He's not on a fucking
Princess of the Peace
600 mattresses.
He's not going to crack his head open.
Right.
You sleep through everything. I. You sleep through everything.
I don't sleep through everything.
Oh, Michael McIntyre's midnight game show.
They were in our bedroom.
He is a professional burglar by this stage.
No, no.
The other night, you know, the other night,
I'd been at rehearsals,
and it was like 10 o'clock, you were fast asleep.
I was like in the room, in the room,
like, Chris, chris you are
flat out you can't be trusted the thing is though now i fight in close quarters now so you in the
side of the room doesn't bother us at all you're getting me personal space you're losing your arms
are getting locked up or you're losing your consciousness it's as simple as that other side
of the room not my problem anyway this turned into something that i don't want this is just us
arguing now these podcasts but the thing is i like to think that someone now is listening.
I like to think that there's someone listening.
It could be mine, it could be whatever.
You're listening going, I agree with her, I agree with him.
Yeah, I have to be the one doing all that.
You fall asleep all the time, Terry.
So, you know, there is that.
We're arguing, but we're fighting cases for people listening here.
Fair enough.
So there we go.
Now listen.
Just don't, it really fucks us off
that you just fall asleep
without like,
that you can't just control.
It doesn't happen very often.
No, it happens all the time.
You can't just control yourself
enough to go,
all right,
are you going to,
I'll,
yeah, okay, night.
Yeah, but then once I've had
that conversation,
I might not get to sleep.
Once I've had that conversation,
I might not get to sleep.
I can't sleep.
I hate that.
I hate it.
I'm going to hate it.
Okay.
And then,
or you'll close your eyes
for 30 seconds
and I'll go,
did you put,
and you'll go,
I was asleep.
I was fast asleep.
It's been 10,
it's been literally
10 to 30 seconds.

I'm not sleeping again me
I'm gonna win this battle
oh
you lose oh anyway I'll be awake forever and my farts will be fucking ringing out of monster energy. I'm not sleeping again, me. I'm going to win this battle. Oh, anyway.
I'll be awake forever
and my farts will be fucking ringing out.
Oh, God.
We digress loads.
Basically, we had a power cut.
It really set Chris off on a bad day.
So, yeah.
I'm not great with weekends anyway.
I don't like just being at a loose end
with the kids the entire weekend.
It reminds us of the lockdown.
It upsets us.
So I got up and Robin,
the lights wouldn't go on.
And I was like,
right,
what's going on here?
Then I went to see you and you was like,
oh God,
and everything was off and it was still dark.
Right.
And I went downstairs and I'm like,
when,
okay,
when there's a power cut and everything is off in the house,
where's the first,
this is the difference in us.
This is where,
this is why,
this is what I was trying to get at. When there's a power cut and everything's off in the house and you wake up and everything's off, where's the first this is the difference in us this is where this is why this is what I was trying to get at
when there's a power cut
and everything's off in the house
and you wake up
and everything's off
where's the first thing
your brain goes to
erm
realistically
check the fuse box
why
what's happened
what's the cause of this
something's tripped
right
so my cause
there's two main causes
that mine goes to
ok
erm
normally it's
like a movie
someone's had a big pair of clippers and they've cut the thing and they're about to storm in
the house.
Right.
That was the first one.
Not at that time in the morning.
They wouldn't.
Burglary.
Good time to do.
Good time to do it.
No.
Terrible time to do it.
Okay.
So you're thinking that it's a bad time to do it and they wouldn't do it at that time.
Burglary is usually happen when people are fast asleep between like one and four in the
morning.
Okay.
But so you're saying the time that we had, which was 6 o'clock in the morning,
you're saying that's a bad time and it wouldn't happen then?
I think so, yeah.
Perfect time to do it then?
Why?
Because you think it's a bad time and it wouldn't happen then?
Right, okay. I don't think burglars are that clever.
I don't think you should say that on here.
Why?
I think someone might come and try and prove you wrong.
Leave a note where your telling used to be.
Okay, so that's your...
Who's clever now?
So that's your catastroph clever now so that's your
catastrophizing brain
now that I've said
so now
so there's the first
thing my brain went into
so there's the first
two things my brain went into
the first one was
they've cut it
like a SWAT team
they've cut the power
and they're coming in
second one was Russia
why Russia
bomb
there's been a bomb
and all the power's gone off
and we don't know
so this is where your brain
goes to before
it's tripped
before check the fuses
in the garage that's where my brain goes immediately it it's tripped? Before check the fuses in the garage,
that's where my brain
goes immediately.
What?
It goes to the worst
possible one.
The worst possible one
immediately and then
I won't be away
back from there.
This is why it's so
exhausting being me.
This is why I comp.
This is why I don't
put weight on.
This is why I can
eat what I want.
Oh my good God.
Mine goes to
oh something's happened
in the street
or the fuse is gone
or you know
an electrical fault.
Yeah no no mine goes
to terror attack
or more localised
criminal
zombie
attack
no it's not possible
I watched a video once
Neil deGrasse Tyson
or whatever he's called
saying zombies
is literally impossible
it's not a thing
that could ever happen
so
I'm trying to go downstairs
to check
and Rafe's screaming
saying he wants to come
downstairs with us
now I'm not going to be able
to fight off a burglar
or do anything
while I'm holding a child so I need him to stay upstairs you're horizontal still going let him
let him come with you let him come call him come but i don't want to say out loud that i think
there's 25 men downstairs but i think there's 25 men downstairs do you know what i mean so i can't
say that out loud well both of our children there because i don't want them to grow up like me
so i'm going keeping this so that's. And we'll go down and we'll realise
it's all the lights are out
in the street.
The whole street's off.
So I calm down slightly.
Then I ring Northern Power Grid
and fucking surprise, surprise.
Oh, you're the first person
to report it, Mr. Ramsey.
Of course I'm the first person
to report it
because I'm a really stupid
fucking wanker
up at six o'clock
on a Sunday morning
because me kids
are basically nocturnal.
That was so depressing.
And then what?
She said you have to wait
for three people
to report it
before they can do anything.
You've got to wait
for three people to report it.
So we had to just sit
with candles on.
With candles on.
And the kids,
we put the kids on their iPads
which we never do
first thing in the morning
and that was horrible
because most of the stuff
they wanted to go on
wouldn't work
because you need Wi-Fi. Dad can go on Netflix can go on netflix well first race trying to turn the
telly on won't turn on me it's turned off right ipad i can go on netflix can't make it needs the
wi-fi i'm going amazon you can't make it needs a wi-fi now tv don't know how many times i have
to tell you this fucking wi-fi's off idiot oh god oh it was horrible well no but honestly
but okay
right
and our children
I'm telling you
okay but it's not
pleasurable
but you held onto that
I couldn't let it go
the whole day
I couldn't let it go
and then you're like
so when I was little
my mum told us
that I used to kick
if I couldn't get
my own way right
and she said
I was pretty placid
but if I couldn't
get my own way
I would kick off
all day
like this party
I wanted to go to
my mum said I hung around that all day please please can i go please you know once the time came
if the party started i was just like right fair enough once the time came of you going to bed you
were like oh yeah i've not been great okay i'm going to bed good night fell straight asleep and
i was just sitting there rocking in the corner like i've had to deal with his horrible mood
all bastard day i couldn't't shake the mood off.
But also what really annoyed us was
Walking Dead and
A Quiet Place was the main one I was thinking of.
I was trying to go downstairs to check if there was any
kind of danger and our kids were just
fucking screaming.
Just noise.
Just noise for no reason.
They would last three fucking seconds.
Well then we'd go pretty quick.
And we wouldn't have to live through that shit.
I don't want to be alive.
You three would go.
I'd be off.
Well, good for you.
Good for you that you want...
The one thing I took from Walking Dead, right?
Watching all of them series.
Loved it.
The one thing I thought was,
I wish I'd got...
I'd want to be one of them fucking zombies.
I would not want to live through that.
Fair point.
Shit.
Kill me.
Shoot me at the beginning.
Seriously.
I don't...
I'm not a survivor.
Just let me know.
What?
Yes. Oh my god.
If I get stuck with you doing something like that
and you... Imagine.
No thank you.
Honestly. Listen, shall we lighten the mood?
Aye. I've got a little quiz
for you, a little game. Oh, what?
I came up with a game the other day. It will lighten the mood? I got a little quiz for you, a little game. Oh, what?
I came up with a game the other day.
It will lighten the mood.
Will it?
You ready?
Yes.
Do some kind of made-up jingle.
It's time for a very quick game of... That's Mario.
You're doing the Mario theme.
It's time for a very quick game of
things you can say at a swimming pool and an orgy.
I've got three written down. I just need you to get one of them so things you can say is there a right answer and a wrong answer if you get one that i think's right
i'll give you the point you can see at a swimming pool and an orgy all right well listen i've only
been to one of them go swimming pools no okay right come on you ready yeah come on then what Goat swim pools. No. Okay.
Right.
Come on, you ready?
Yeah.
Come on then.
What do you think?
Oh, I've got to tell you.
Wouldn't be a quiz if I was just going to tell you the fucking answers.
Oh, I thought I had to choose.
I thought it was like an ABC.
No, no.
You've just got to come up with one.
Right, all right.
Let me think.
Oh, you've just really sprung this on us.
It's okay.
We're going to edit the time out if you want.
We're going to edit the time out.
Don't worry.
Okay.
You join us.
It's five hours later.
I don't. I'm just trying to think oh
here she comes
there's a glint in her eye
yeah
yeah
are you wet
yet
nah
you're soaking
you're soaking
you could say that
you're soaking
it's quite good
alright you're soaking
okay
sort of
it's implied
god that's horrible
I'm so sorry
the whispering was unnecessary I could say that. That's quite good. All right, you're soaking. Okay, sort of. It's implied. God, that's horrible. I'm so sorry.
The whispering was unnecessary.
But then again, do that.
I tell you what,
we're supposed to be going swimming with Rafe this afternoon.
No, I'm not.
Do us a favour,
just go up to someone
in the swimming pool and go,
you're soaking.
See what happens.
You could say that at an orgy
and at swimming.
So I've definitely got a point there.
Half a point.
Absolutely, I'm sorry.
You're in the middle of a threesome.
Who's telling people?
You're soaking.
Who's telling people
that they're soaking
at the swimming pool?
Who's telling people that?
You didn't say
what are most common phrases
at the swimming pool
and in orgy.
You said,
what can you say
at a swimming pool
and in orgy?
You're soaking.
Right.
Okay.
Well, fine.
Half a point.
What about another one?
Right.
Come on. Jump in. Okay. Jump in. Jump in. There, fine. Half a point. What about another one? Right. Come on.
Jump in.
Okay.
Jump in.
Jump in.
All right.
I'll give you a point for that.
Thank you very much.
Very good.
Well done.
Thank you for playing.
Thank you for playing.
You've not got any.
Yeah.
The answers we were looking for were,
the first thing you could have said
that had an orgy and it's been pooled
was, where do I put me shoes?
Oh. I do hope they take the shoes off at orgies.
That would be upsetting, imagine.
Next one we're looking for was
close your eyes for the big splash.
A little bit of fun for the dads there.
Awful.
Awful.
Horrible.
A little bit of local radio.
Horrible.
The final one we're looking for.
Do men enjoy that on a porn?
The cum shot.
And the gurgling of the semen.
Because honestly, it turns my stomach.
I can't imagine it being.
It absolutely turns my stomach.
I can't imagine it being anything.
The clean up being anything but embarrassing in real life.
No, but as a man, right?
Okay.
Is that a sexy thing to witness?
I don't know.
Just be honest
because men are going
to be listening
there's flinching
isn't there
there's a lot of
flinching involved
what do you mean
well it's like
they're never up for it
it's always like
oh god
yeah but then
they spit it out
of the mouth
and I'm like
oh god
oh Jesus Christ
finish your dinner
it's just
to me
I mean
to me
that is
repulsive
but obviously
that must be must be sexy must tickle someone's pickle
not yours someone's pickle no not really something I've okay I you know hey listen
well I've just checked the gobook website actually and the legislation for the valentine's day it is
covered under the legislation so is it great is that a thing that you just want to just keep
amongst yourselves men not really actually do find that lush. I don't think... Again, the other...
So, so...
Yeah.
To dive into sexuality here.
Yeah.
Confidence and someone being comfortable.
So if someone was well up for that,
and they were like, yeah,
I imagine that would be pretty cool.
But...
In real life...
But spunking all over someone's face
who's literally flinching and shutting their eyes
and going, not in me eye.
I can't imagine that being anything but fun.
No, okay.
In real life, I can understand it's quite sexual.
I get, I'm not, you know, I'm not a complete prude.
I get it, right?
But when it's like regurgitating it out of the mouth and that.
Yeah, no, no, that's mangy.
That's absolutely mangy.
I always, Rosie, you know me, I always think of the clean up.
I always think, what's happening on that carpet?
I can smell it.
What's happening on that carpet?
Yeah, gross.
Listen, are you ready for the final one we're looking for?
Things you can say at the swimming pool and at Norgie.
Whose Veruca sock is this?
I think mine were better.
Jump in.
They were much better than whose Veruca sock.
Your sock one was weird.
All right, okay.
Whose plas does this?
Oh, God.
I don't know if I enjoyed that quiz.
You weren't really supposed to.
It was just dead quick.
Okay. Listen, well done. F weren't really supposed to. It was just dead quick. Okay.
Listen, well done.
Filled a bit of time.
No, great.
It's always good to be a bit more inventive.
Oh, yeah, it's good.
It's particularly good when you shit all over them.
No, I'm not shitting on it, I promise you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's do it.
Honestly.
Right, okay.
There's another one.
There's another one.
Don't shit all over.
Pool orgy.
Bang.
Yeah.
Done.
Should be a sign on the wall.
I think you should do this every week but with different places
I'd be up for that
okay
like what can you say
at the gym
and the zoo
right
yeah
okay
yeah
oh you big fat pig
again
again
again
I don't know
what's weirder
you seeing
big fat pig
at the gym
or you shouting
big fat pig
to a pig
at the zoo
who knows
how shit's the zoo
with its pigs

What's Your Beef?
Okie dokie. Now, I've been nothing
but a delight this week week so I can't imagine
you've got any
god
alright I'll rephrase that
I've been a nightmare
this week
so I can't imagine
you've got any beef
that you are allowed
to broadcast on the podcast
without this becoming
a real argument
ok
we've talked about it
we're fine
in real life
we've sorted it out
we've sorted the differences
Chris is going back
to counselling
so we're all good
it's fine
jiu jitsu's better
my beef with you
and our children
alright
so it's kind of a
so Chris does this
Chris is an amazing
dad right
you are
a fantastic dad
cut that there
that'll do
that's all you need
to say
and we've got a
little system on
an evening
I make dinner
tea
I make the tea
and you put the
kids in the bath
and you've got this lush little thing that you stand at the door and you do a little I make dinner or tea. I make the tea. Yeah. And you put the kids in the bath. Yeah.
And you've got this lush little thing that you stand at the door and you do a little
cough or Rave does a little cough.
Someone does a cough.
It's like, ahem, ahem, ahem.
And then it's, what is it?
Last one.
Last one on Mammy's bed.
Stinks of poo.
Stinks of poo.
Great.
And they all run upstairs and they jump around in our bedroom for a good solid 10 to 15 minutes.
And it's dead canny.
They're just boys and they do flips and it's mad, right?
You fuckers have broke more of my lamps than I care to actually bring up on the podcast.
Stop breaking me lamps.
It's not always me.
It's not always me. It's not always me. Hence
you fuckers. Kids included.
Stop breaking me lumps.
Like I swear to God.
Them two that are there now.
They're not cheap.
They're running the mill. They're quite nice ones.
The one on the right hand side is fully broke. It's absolutely not
good Chris. It's basically balancing.
I know. Why do you keep doing it? I'll have a go at it with a super
glue this afternoon.
But yeah, it's... Right, move them out the way.
Maybe a new thing now has to be,
before you start,
move me lamps out the way.
But I like that ambient lighting for the backflips.
Well, you're not going to have any ambient lighting
if you keep breaking the fuckers.
Please, please, I'm begging you.
I love that you do it.
And it's such a,
it's like a bonding thing.
Like literally, I try to come upstairs sometimes and they're like, no, I'm begging you. I love that you do it. And it's such a, it's like a bonding thing. Like literally, I try to come upstairs sometimes
and they're like, no, Manny!
Which is upsetting at first,
but at the same time, I'm like, fuck you.
I don't want to, I don't actually want to come.
So I get to sit downstairs by myself.
But please, just, it's collateral lamp damage, man.
It's really bad.
I'll have a word with the lads.
I'll see what we can do.
Stop chuckinging chucking pillows
at me lads
to be fair
last one
on my mother's bed
stinks of poo
it's actually
it gets them too riled up
and they don't want to
go in the bath
oh I know
and Ray if sometimes
it tires them out so much
you go to put them in the bath
and he's just
screaming crying
why don't you just
have a bath first
and then do the play
after
because then there'll be
no end point
at least the bath's
the end point
no there would be
an end point
I'm not going to get rid of them
like cereal downstairs is the end point oh okay least the bath's the end point. No, there would be an end point. I'm not going to get rid of them.
Like cereal downstairs is the end point.
Okay, then.
Bath first, then we'll go downstairs.
I'll try that now.
That's not too bad.
Okay.
My beef with you this week is you have bought a new pair of slippers.
Do you have them on?
Which ones?
My pink ones?
You've got them on now.
Yes, I adore these.
Horrible.
What?
They make me sad.
They are the worst, most fucking scrotty looking slippers.
You leave them everywhere.
And I catch them and they're like piled up.
They're these pink.
They look like Mr. Blobby's feet if they were furry.
Yeah.
Like furry.
They look like you go too close to a full blast radiator and they're looking at Mr. Blobby's feet, if they were furry. Yeah. Like, furry... They look like you...
They look like you go too close to a full blast radiator
and they'll burst into flames.
I mean, I got them...
These are from Peacock's downtown.
They're just chippy ones.
No, no, no, no, I can tell.
No, I can tell.
I can tell they're chippy ones.
They're dead comfy.
You leave them everywhere.
You leave them all over the place.
Like, they are...
Just try and explain to people what they're like.
They're like they're like
i imagine the kind of slippers that the moms were wearing when they went down to the school
gates to push mcdonald's through when jamie oliver had changed the dinners
i still can't believe that happened i still can't believe that happened
why and when it happened they were all And when it happened, they were all wearing them fucking slippers.
Oh, don't mind.
They were all wearing them slippers and dressing gowns.
Hang on.
Right, okay, you hate me slippers.
That's fine.
I don't really care.
They're not going anywhere.
Well, actually, they've got a hole in them already.
I hate them.
You leave them everywhere.
I'm sick of them.
They make a sound.
Okay, then they keep me feet nice and warm.
Look at mine.
Look at these.
Look at these stylish bad boys.
They're awful.
Are you kidding me?
They're fucking lush, man.
They're not.
Look at them. They've got a solid sole. Are you kidding me? They're fucking lush, man. They're not. Look at them.
They've got a solid soul.
Where are they from?
Just a supermarket, I think.
I think I got them from Asda.
Awful.
Right, let's talk about...
It's fucking great, wasn't it?
Did they help him eat?
What happened?
He changed it.
He made a thing.
He changed all the school dinners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So why did they go down and give McDonald's
well I think it was
like turkey Twizzlers
and all that
had like
oh I got kebab
at school
it was horrendous
yeah yeah yeah
we did
it was the same
and he was like
right let's sort this out

Hi Chris and Rosie
long time listener
first time emailer
Listen in episode 255
when you talk about
kids going in uniform
on mufti days
at school
Mufti day
Aha
Reminded me of a story
Mufti day is a
southern thing isn't it for a non-uniform day okay couldn't we also say non-uniform could they
say mufti it's a thing it's a massive mufti days we've talked about before years ago yeah years ago
we're talking about it's a huge a lot of people in this country call it mufti day okay yeah because
you know remember when we did it was it was a time ago. We were literally in our first house. It was when we first started the podcast
and we were like,
Muff, did you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I apologise.
It's like talking about backers.
People call them craggies and that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris, we're all the same,
but we're all very different, you know.
We're all very different.
Yeah, very good.
Yeah.
When my sister was at school,
they had a Tudor day,
where everyone was asked to dress up.
Okay.
The day would be spent talking about that historical period
and doing activities from that time.
Correct.
Teachers and students all dressed up in long gowns with headdresses
or puffy trousers and jackets for the boys.
Happy days.
God, this made me laugh so much.
Okay.
For some unknown reason, when she got to school, so was her sister,
when she got to school, a boy in her class was dressed up as Austin Powers,
complete with the false teeth.
They can only have been about 10 years old,
which makes it even more strange that he was Austin Powers.
We still talk about it today and have a giggle.
Why was he dressed...
Why is he Austin Powers?
Do you think, though, that their parents have gone,
well, it's a ruffled shirt?
I like the cravatty kind of thing.
Do you think they've thought that that's a Tudor costume,
where actually it's Austin Powers?
That's so good.
But the teeth as well.
I mean, they did have manky teeth back in the day,
so I don't know.
Yeah.
I just thought that was beautiful.
I can't now,
I cannot watch or look at or think of Austin Powers
without thinking of when I was doing Strictly
and we did Movie Week.
And Emma Barton was paired with the wonderful Anton Dirk.
Oh, yeah.
And he was Austin Powers. And he was Austin Powers.
And he was Austin Powers.
Yeah.
And he was standing...
Have you ever told this story?
I don't think I've ever told it.
But he was...
I mean, it was on the telly.
It was on the telly.
Yeah, and he was standing in front of the judges
after he'd done his dance.
And Craig was ripping him apart for the judges
and said,

And he didn't have any false teeth in.

Hi, Chris and Rosie.
Long time listener.
First time emailer.
Please keep me anonymous.
Many years back
when I was in the Navy,
I served with a guy
nicknamed Dorby.
Oh, God.
Don't be fooled by the name
as he was a very good engineer
and really quite clever.
Great.
However,
he was gifted the nickname
Dorby for a reason.
Whenever he had a few beers in him,
there was very little
he wouldn't do.
One of them.
Right.
Just one of them blokes
who would just...
Why Dorby?
I know you, Mia.
Deny, just because... Just dare them to do anything.
Well, again, it's like...
It's one of my main fears for the kids.
Just doing something...
Like, doing something fucking stupid.
I've done stupid stuff, you know, back in the day.
But, you know, just the ones who get a bit pissed and do...
And it's always like, oh, blokes, you know,
trying to jump across balconies on holiday or something terrible. terrifies the shit out of me because we are me and you
are professional show-offs we are this is what this is this is come and listen to us we think
we're funny as fuck that's what comedy is and i feel like our kids have got it in them to be you
know look at me look at me and oh one of my worst night and also like whenever you watch you being
framed and stuff like that,
it's always someone trying to do
something funny or cool
and fucking themselves up.
Well,
sadly that Robin is absolutely that.
100%.
Yeah.
100%.
That's the one we've got to worry about.
Rafe,
I don't think Rafe's too bad,
but Robin is that kid.
Yeah,
100%.
Look at me,
I'll eat this cockroach.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Right.
His bog standard entry level shenanigans while ashore
was to go into a pub, order a pint, drink half,
then go around all the tables and tip the ashtrays
into the remaining pint and down it.
That was his bog standard?
That was his...
That was his level entry level.
That was Tuesday night?
Sorry, yeah.
Oh, ashtray?
I know.
And drink the ash?
Yeah.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Why?
No problem for how adobe it is.
Why is he called adorby?
Is it going to be explained?
No, not really.
So he's clever.
He's not stupid and he's clever,
but they call him adorby because he does weird stunts.
He just does stupid stuff.
What would you have called him instead?
What other one are the dwarves?
Fucking Evel Knievel.
Or fucking anything but adorby.
I don't know what Evel Knievel is.
Sorry?
Who is Evel Knievel? Are you serious? You don't know what what Evil Knievel is. Sorry? Who is Evil Knievel?
Are you serious?
You don't know what
Evil Knievel is?
Honestly?
I've said it loads
in my life
but it's one of them things
where if I was on a quiz show
and they went
who is Evil Knievel?
I would look stupid
because I don't know.
Who is Evil Knievel?
There was a person
who used to
he used to jump start
he was a motorbike stunt guy.
Dressed a bit like Elvis.
Right.
There's a version of him in Toy Story.
Yes.
Oh, we might have talked about this, you know.
We haven't.
I did not know that you didn't know who Evil Knievel was.
Okay, who's the other one then?
Who was the skier?
The famous skier.
Eddie the Eagle Edwards.
Right.
He was real.
He was British.
So Evil Knievel wasn't real? Yeah. He was real. He was British. So Evel Knievel wasn't real?
Yeah.
He was real.
What did he do again?
Used to jump things on a motorbike.
Right.
So that's Evel Knievel.
Yeah.
Fuck, mate.
You've done it again.
No, man.
You've done it again.
You question some things so much
that you get me questioning my own reality.
All right, okay.
I'd just like to know.
I just think, you know,
I'm getting to a point in my life
where I think, Rosie,
don't just pretend you know things.
Actually, find out.
You know what it is? Evil Kermit came up
there a bit weird. Evil Kenevil,
born October 17th, Minnesota,
United States. Died 30th November
2007, 69 years old. Rest in
peace. Robert Craig
Kenevil, known
professionally as Evil Kenevil, was an
American stunt performer and entertainer.
Yeah, so he would jump. So anyone who was a bit of a devil, you call them Evil Knievel, was an American stunt performer and entertainer. Yeah, so he would jump.
So anyone who was a bit of a devil,
you call them Evil Knievel?
Yeah.
Really famous saying that, isn't it?
I mean, he's full on...
That's mad.
Yeah, he's full on welded into popular culture.
Okay, great.
Well, listen, I know now, and I'm glad.
Look, if nothing came from this podcast,
at least you now know who Evil Knievel is.
And he dressed a bit like Elvis.
Yes.
And that's on Toy Story 4.
There's a guy who's a bit like you.
Great.
Great.
Okay.
Basically, don't call someone who does a load of stunts.
I suppose Dobby does mean stupid.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just annoying.
Anyway.
Go on then.
At sea, he had to improvise.
Once it was so rough,
half the ship's company was throwing up in the toilets on board and it was grim.
No, no, no.
I'll tell you it was horrible.
I'm not having it.
Tiled floor, urinals and toilets overflowing because of blockage.
Vomit sloshing back and forth about six inches deep.
Oh no.
Horrendous.
A few of us were having a drinking session down in the mess deck, including Dobie.
I made my way to the toilets combat boots on so
the vomit piss and turd soup wouldn't slosh over my feet this is awful by the way like i would just
piss overboard i wouldn't be on the drink i wouldn't be on the drink i wouldn't be like
oh it's really rough all the toilets are blocked you want to get pissed absolutely not i'm going
to bed oh yeah just finished i timed it so the human fluid soup went one way and i jumped the
other way out of the toilet door.
God almighty.
Dopey and another guy were on their way in for a piss
when the other sailor said to Dopey,
I'll bet you a few free cans you won't take a gulp of that.
Go and fuck off.
Pointing to the liquid biohazard sloshing back and forth like the tide.
Of course you all know what happened next
and to this day the image is burned into my brain.
Oh, no.
Yes.
Dopey waited for the human slop
to run to the back end of the toilets,
leaped in, got on his hands and knees,
Oh, my God.
cheek to the tiles and mouth wide open,
and waited.
Whoosh.
The spew, pee, and logs of half the ship's company
went straight
into
his mouth
I could
I could be sick here
although
I do have to say
I thought they were going to say
he went and got a cup
the fact that he waited
for it to go to one end
he got on the floor
and put his cheek on the deck
and opened it
and waited
he's a showman
I will give him that
he's a god damn showman
he's a fucking
he's a fucking performer
take dopey out of the way I would not call him that.
I had a lot of words on my tongue.
This is the greatest show.
And there's poo and wee and the sick and piss.
Oh, this is the greatest show.
Whoa.
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've
waited for.
Oh.
The sea is rough and I've
got my cheek on the floor. Oh, the sea is rough and I've got my cheek on the floor.
Oh.
Piss in my mouth.
Vom in my mouth.
Is that shit or is it?
A twix.
Should have left it at mine.
Just so you know, should have left it at mine.
Oh, my.
Yeah, sorry.
I did.
I ruined it.
Anyway, right.
Okay.
So he's got his hands in there.
He's the dirty, dirty, dirty bastard.
You could die doing stuff like this.
Yeah, oh God.
He proudly stood up,
turned around with his mouth still open
to show us his catch
and then...
And then gulped it down.
Swallowed it.
He didn't even spit it out, he swallowed it.
Get that man in jail.
He didn't bat an eyelid.
Wouldn't get away with antics like that these days.
Oh yeah, you get reported and kicked off the ship for that.
I tell you what, I bet he never gets a cold.
Holy shit.
I bet he never gets a cold.
Oh my God, I bet he's got ulcers all over.
Nah, it'll be the opposite.
Really?
People like that, man.
His immune system will be like a fucking, like a fortress.
And he will die
he will outlive
everyone listening
to this podcast
they always do
it's always the case
my god
what's
oh you're 125 years old
what's the secret
to success
oh well just
whatever someone told us
to like drink some shit
off the floor
just drank it
yeah happy days
honestly
there's gotta be some
there's gotta be something
some sort of fetish thing
they either die
doing something stupid,
young,
or they outlive every fucker.
It's always the case.
Why would you do that though?
What would make you do that?
That's honestly,
the fact that it's like sloshing,
oh my God.
But do you think there is something,
so something to be said about,
you know how we go on stage and like,
we.
Oh yeah,
that was his Wembley.
Yeah.
Yeah,
yeah.
So we.
We'll still talk about that.
We can actually see
what real adrenaline feels like like we know that feeling yeah and it is lush it's mint right i mean
it's it's absolutely terrifying at the same time i don't know if i'm a huge lover of adrenaline but
you know it's ages it is yeah massively ages here yeah that's another thing yeah rosie how come you
look loads older than your sister oh because I just get really fucking stressed for three
hours and then
I've got to come
down in my
frown lines
anyway
yeah maybe that
is Wembley
that is his
that was his
O2
I don't know
maybe it's his
Edinburgh Playhouse
wow
what
what do you mean
because he's just
in the box
there's only three people there.
Oh, okay.
So you think that's...
It's not O2.
You think he's done better than that?
I think when he goes round the pub
and they're all there,
that is O2.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's a big one.
Right.
Oh, God.
Palladium.
Maybe this is his Palladium.
If we stick at London-based,
this is his Palladium,
which is bloody wonderful.
Prestigious venue.
Well done, him.
Absolutely, yeah.
Hi, Chris and Rosie. A recent episode when you're talking about the bloke at work that brought in porn sparked an old memory
of an incident back in my much younger days fyi before you read on i'm not a pervert i know most
perverts probably say that but i'm actually really vanilla i think you're a pervert great point
literally i was just about to say that um the porn story and works really hit hit a hit a spark with a few it has hasn't it
well i think because now right our children are never gonna have porn stories because porn is so
accessible but back in the day it was like really yeah couldn't i mean as a i don't know i think
it's different for lads and i'm not I really hate to be the gender thing
but girls
I didn't watch porn
or have any sort of porn
until a lot later in life
yeah
it just didn't exist
in my life
like you know
I think I found
my younger brother's porn
before I even
had any
oh yeah I mean like
that was a bad day
by the way
oh Jesus Christ
where did you find it
oh in his room
oh god I know sorry kev video magazine it
was a cd rom it was a bit later on tell how old you are without telling my old well my poem was
on cd rom cd rom because he had the computer in his room i don't think i've ever heard anyone
i don't think i've ever said it i don't think i've ever heard anyone before I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a CD-ROM in a sense
why?
I've just done the way you've said
why didn't you just say it was on a CD?
because it wasn't like
a listening CD
it was a
PC CD
now that's what I call
the sound of porn
a new CD
would have meant computer
I was just like
you know some people
have like Wales song
he just had like
balls slapping off arses
and people groaning
like
oh don't
it was horrible
that was a really horrible sad time in my life.
Hey, we'll find our kids one day.
Well, no, we won't find our kids one day
because it'll be on the phone.
That's what I'm saying, yeah.
Yeah.
You know, but...
They'll have to come off the fucking Wi-Fi to get it
because there'll be a blocker on this Wi-Fi.
Yes.
I'll tell you that right now.
Yes, yes.
Right.
Rewind to the late 1980s.
I'm really sorry.
I don't know if Kev knows that I've ever seen that porn.
Well.
Or that I found.
I don't think I ever talked about it.
You do now.
No, he does.
Eh?
I told my mum.
Of course.
You fucking grass.
I told my mum.
I did.
You told your mum.
I told my mum.
Wow.
My kid didn't live there.
Kate was older.
I told mum.
Yeah.
And I don't even.
I don't know if he got. Well, I don't think he got wrong because it was older. I told mum. Yeah. And I don't even, I don't know if he got,
well,
I don't think he got wrong
because it was like.
It is what it is.
You're a disgrace.
I told my mum.
You're a disgrace.
And you know what's
really more embarrassing?
What?
I was absolutely
of sexual age
when I told my brother
if I haven't born.
Isn't that bad?
That sounds like
something you would do.
Yeah.
If you caught you
on the wrong day,
it sounds like you would definitely do that. Yeah. Yeah? That sounds like something you would do. Yeah. If you caught you on the wrong day, it sounds like something you would definitely do that.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well,
you're disgusting. Yeah. Watching
videos of
your CD-ROM. Well, you were
your CD-ROM.
Eh? Eh? CD
schlong. Eh?
Eh? Oh.
God love him. Right. Rewind
to the late 1980s.
Christ.
Me and my hubby had been married a couple of years
and had recently had our first baby.
Congratulations.
One day, he comes home from walking the dog
with a video cassette with no label.
Okay.
I immediately think it's one of those films.
He's got off the pervy bloke at work.
Yeah.
But no.
The story my husband tells me is that as he was walking along the footpath,
a car goes past and a dog sitting in the passenger seat is holding a video cassette in his mouth.
Oh, this sounds like the most elaborate lie ever.
No.
Which the dog then tossed out of the open window.
Wow.
Hubby then picks it up,
expecting the driver to turn around and come back for it.
He must have noticed the dog did it.
It's only a little village, not much traffic.
But the car doesn't come back.
So he brought it home and wonders what's on it.
Oh God.
I was immediately suspicious.
Oh yeah, you reckon.
Great lie.
It's porn from work again, isn't it?
Right.
Blah de blah.
No, he says, it really happened.
He goes on to describe the make, model and colour of the car.
An unusual blend, not seen one before or since.
And even the type of dog it was, an English bull terrier.
He's so specific, but I still think it's a lie.
Just doesn't want to admit it's some film.
Gleams all that from the car just whizzing past.
Yeah.
Naturally, we put the tape on later when the baby had gone to bed.
Of course you do.
Yes, it's porn.
Right.
But not any old porn.
Oh, God.
The word, excuse the spelling, I can't really recall.
So this word fills up the screen at the beginning, right?
Right.
Fish ten fucking. Right. So this word fills up the screen at the beginning, right? FISH TEN FUCKEN.
FISH F-I-S-H T-E-N F-U-K-E-N.
Right?
Right.
I think it might be German.
I imagine most VHS porn knocking around in the late 80s was German.
Right.
That's what's on there.
Lots of fucken with FISCHTS.
What?
Horrific. Oh, FISCHTS. FISCHTS. I thought you with fished. What? Horrific.
Oh, fished.
I thought you meant fish.
Not fish, no.
Okay.
Fished.
Okay.
In brackets, they've put lots.
And we obviously kept watching.
Kept watching at home.
You probably would, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
I was still a bit cross with him for lying
and slightly disgusted that either he's asked for that
from the bloke at work
or that bloke thinks that's the sort of pull my husband goes for.
A few weeks go by and I am now walking through the village
when I see that exact car go past.
Go and piss off.
Same make and model and colour.
And who's sitting in the passenger seat?
Yep, an English bull terrier.
He didn't throw a videotape out this time,
but at least I knew my husband was telling the truth.
I can't.
No.
That's ridiculous.
Apparently so.
Wow.
And it says at the end, which I love,
we have used the word fished and fucking
as an exclamation ever since.
Oh, that's good.
I like that.
Oh, fished and fucking.
Aye.
So this person got the dog
to throw out their own pawn
no maybe the dog
just picked it up
and threw it out by accident
and he's never known
I'd love to meet this person
what was going on
your dog
so they either got the dog
to throw it out
or they get in the car
and go
got some new pawn tonight
hold that
and the dog just holds it
in its mouth
for both of you
you might like this too
Trevor
weird that it's called his dog trevor um yeah that's insane nice wow love that
love it story love it what a what a strange thing to find like german fist and pawn
dropped out of a moving car by a dog. By a double terrier, yeah.
I believe it.
I believe it. I've got more questions than
it's one of them ones where I've now got more questions
than when the story started, which is a bit
upsetting. There was a noise a little bit that.
Got a bit of a headache now. So it was the 80s, man.
Oh.
Weirdly, that answers quite a few of them.
Babadoo babadoo babadoo bah.
Hi, Chris and Rosie.
Please keep me anonymous.
My husband and I have been together seven years, married one.
He's an avid runner and loves to spend money,
so he has all the latest gear, fancy trainers, etc.
What?
Because he loves to spend money.
He loves to spend money, so he's got all the latest gear,
fancy trainers, running running hat running gloves
this is you
this is literally you
yeah
Chris has had his ice tub
for a week
but now that ice tub
is redundant
because he's bought
another one
that was a lot of money
yeah
but I'm not stanging off too much
because I've actually been in
a few times
I couldn't
the other one
I had my fucking knees
around my chin man
I couldn't
I couldn't fit in
I've told my kid
you can have it by the way
I've already given it away
who to?
Gardner
oh
tell her she can fuck off
oh sorry kid
sorry
is Simon having it?
Simon's having it
why is he wanting to do it?
tell him about it
he said he really fancies it
I said look
I've got one going begging
if you want it
amazing
there you go
recently
this is the person's husband
recently he bought
a new fitness watch to track everything he does and I mean everything the ick is the the person's husband recently he bought a new fitness watch to track everything
he does and i mean everything okay the ick is not the fact he regularly discusses the amount and
level of sleep he has had or how long his foot is in contact with the floor during a run but rather
yeah that's you yeah this is you but rather that there was nothing wrong with his old fitness watch
and so he now wears both of them in order to get
more health data
on himself.
Jesus.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
He wears his old one
around his ankle.
Like a fucking tag.
Like an Aspord tag.
Suit, trousers,
long socks,
smart shoes
and a fitness watch
around his ankle
as if he's just got out of jail.
What a bellend.
Definite ick.
Wait till he finds out
about the rings.
Oh, what?
Fitness rings.
No.
Yeah, yeah.
Really?
Much less sort of,
so for instance,
if you're doing like jiu-jitsu
or you're doing MMA
or you're doing something
like more of a contact sport
you can't have a watch on,
fitness rings.
I don't know if you can get
in this country yet
but you can definitely
get them in America
and you can get them
imported over
ring goes on
they look quite cool
black
like a black ring
I think multiple colours are available
tracks everything
but while you're exercising as well
do you need to know that much
don't get me wrong
I would get obsessed with the sleep
I'd get obsessed with the sleep
I'd wake up thinking
I've had a good night's kip
and I'd check me out
but it would go you only had like four hours of full sleep and I'm wake up thinking I've had a good night's kip and I'd check me out but it would go
you only had like four hours
of full sleep
and I'd be like
oh god I'm tired
I can't
oh god please don't ever
please don't
I can't
I do get obsessed with stuff
can we promise
for our marriage
can you not ever get into that
because you've managed
to avoid that for now
yeah no
it's the same reason
I don't have a smart meter
because we'd be walking around
in the dark
you wouldn't be allowed
anything on
I don't think you need
to know
I think it's too much
information
I know to turn
if I'm not in a fucking
room and the light's on
I'll turn the light off
I'm not a dick
you know
well the smart meter
like sorry
I was just going to say
even the cold tub I got
you're supposed to leave
it on the whole time
I'm not leaving it
on the whole time
I turn it off on a night
because one it makes
a fucking noise
and two it can cool
in the morning
it's cold enough outside
like I'm not you put the kettle on man and your smart meter goes in the morning if it's cold enough outside like I'm not
you put the kettle on man
and your smart wheel
goes in at the red
and I'd be like
oh fuck
I'll just have a glass of water
like
I know
I would
it would freak us out man
I know
I know
what was I going to say
dead quickly
well remember when I wore
that fitness
little watch for a bit
little fit bit
I just kept telling us
to get up
I was like yeah
fuck off
so Jason Cook
has got an Apple watch
and he said
now I think I was with him
and it binged
and it said
oh you know
you've fulfilled
your movement
for the day
or whatever
and I was like
alright nice one
he was like
oh no I've got it
set at the lowest possible
so it just says
oh you've done it
when you've done fuck all
because otherwise
it just hounds you all day
set it on the lowest possible and it's like you walked in the fridge well done it when you've done fuck all because otherwise it just hounds you all day set it on the lowest possible and it's like
you walk to the fridge
