But you really are. You're absolutely tearing through it like i'm literally just behind you just like going stop doing so much work you're making us look bad no but you're really quick at doing it it takes me a lot longer yeah but you're sort of leading it you're getting all the questions and getting all the topics and starting up the chapters and then i'm sort of chipping in it's lovely i feel honestly
Starting point is 00:08:43 i feel like i'm like marking your work but adding stuff you are using a red font as well i am using it and i'm writing see me at the bottom of all of them see me in my office even though we're in the same office and you're a meter away we haven't really been in the office much though because uh yesterday i wrote from bed i know you were very happy with that oh yeah best working day of my whole entire life because um we were gonna we're gonna mention this anyway our heating our water whatever it was i didn't i went off the other night which was extremely stressful yeah it makes you realize that you don't know your house at all and well you're a fully fledged grown-up and you don't i don't want to be a grown-up i mean i uh set the scene i did a gig i did a ch fledged grown up and I don't want to be a grown up. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I set the scene. I did a gig. I did a Chris Ramsey and Friends gig at the stand in Newcastle with a few other comics just to work out new material and stuff. Then I went for a few pints with everyone. Then I went for a curry.
Starting point is 00:09:36 So I came back in like half cut. Yeah. And I went to the bathroom and I sort of turned, the light outside the bathroom is on and I kind of turned around and looked out the bathroom door. I don't know why, just gazing off into the distance while I wee,
Starting point is 00:09:48 just thinking about me wee. Must be nice. And there was a massive puddle of water on the floor, and I was like, oh, God. She's bathed them and she's left a bloody puddle as usual. That's what I thought. Oh, thanks. Obviously, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And then I went and stood over the puddle, and more water hit us on the head. And I looked up, and it was just coming through the light fixture so it was the massive water tank and I had to phone I had to go into that loft and then I had to phone
Starting point is 00:10:11 the plumber you rang the plumber at like half eleven at night because I know him and he's but I was like Chris that is not like socially acceptable
Starting point is 00:10:19 but can you remember what I said to you I said I know him I know what he's like he's told us he hates early mornings and he stays up all night he's going to pick up the phone and he literally him. I know what he's like. He's told us he hates early mornings and he stays up all night.
Starting point is 00:10:26 He's going to pick up the phone and he literally picked up the next ring. He did pick up the phone. I was gutted because I was literally standing behind you going, don't you kind of ring him at almost 11 at night? He's classy. Why'd you answer the phone like, are you Chris?
Starting point is 00:10:36 I was like, oh, Chris. He just wasn't bothered at all. There was no like, hello, who's that? He just went, all right, mate, how you doing? You all right? I knew you'd be up. But hey, I'm glad you did. You all right? I knew you'd be up. But hey, I'm glad you did.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Did you not get a little bit freaked out at just how, I don't, it's when stuff like that happens in the house and obviously Robin was asleep in bed and you're just a bit like, what do we do? It's terrifying.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's horrible. Yeah, it just shows you how much we're sort of pampered and we're used to just like nice, easy things. Your electricity, your gas, or your boiler boiler when they fuck up it's literally you're a baby again you're just like running around just freaking the fuck out i had to go to the top of the blooming garden i had to turn the stop stop cock turn the stop cock off there was a bit of plastic in the way i had to
Starting point is 00:11:20 snip that off the fucking idiot who put it in i don't know what they did but it was literally plastic stopping it from turning i had to cut that and then The fucking idiot who put it in, I don't know what they did, but it was literally plastic stopping it from turning. I had to cut that. And then I came back and, you were so impressed. Oh, you, I knew you were going to say that. You were. You were.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Because I don't, oh, I don't do man stuff. I don't do man stuff very often, but when I do man stuff, you're fucking loving it. This was going to be my beef. My beef was going to be you when the water went off,
Starting point is 00:11:42 running around like J.I. Flippin' Joe, thinking you were mint. Oh, Rosie, I've just turned this top cock off tell giving us like a rundown of every single little thing you've done did yeah and it's no it was not it was not sexy it was not anything you were wetter than that bathroom floor I can can I tell you now the only thing that did turn me on was that you didn't ring your dad that was you I mean you rang the plumber but that's fair enough but you didn't ring your dad. That was you. I mean, you rang the plumber, but that's fair enough. But you didn't ring your dad because normally when something happens, you're like, I rang my dad. So I was really chuffed that you dealt with it yourself.
Starting point is 00:12:11 So that was quite horny. But other than that. That was quite horny. Other than that, I was like, no. I don't want my dad. Rosie, I've just had to do that and just, God, everything's fine now. Let's go. How are you?
Starting point is 00:12:24 No, we're safe. Let's go to bed. Chris, the. Let's go. How are you? No, we're safe. Let's go to bed. Chris, the water's just gone off. But yes, no, we're safe. Save the day. Can I just say, you were very good. You filled up the coffee machine with water. You filled up some bottles with water and put them in for when we had no water the next day.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Very good. Planning ahead. Thank you. I just wish that when I turned the bath on to drain the tanks, I wish I'd put the plug in. So we just had like a body of water for the morning. Oh yeah, it's ridiculous. We had absolutely no water and no way to flush the chairs and the toilets
Starting point is 00:12:50 or nothing like that. Oh yeah, well when you have a wee, you've got to fill the back of the toilet with a bucket from the sink now. It's exciting. It's like going back in time. It's like being in Beamish. It is.
Starting point is 00:12:58 It's very much like being in Beamish. It is. Like honestly, he told me Nana and she was like, well, now you know what it's like. I thought, well, I do. I do I do now I'm proud of you nana
Starting point is 00:13:06 because you lived through loads I do ring my dad for too many things to be fair I don't know what age you stop ringing your dad I don't know when it is
Starting point is 00:13:15 probably when he dies that's usually the cut off and I'm going to be honest with you I think when he goes I'll probably still accidentally go to ring him a couple of times
Starting point is 00:13:23 and then get really sad that's quite nice yeah you could leave a voicemail, I'll probably still accidentally go to ring him a couple of times and then get really sad. That's quite nice. Yeah. You could leave a voicemail, Dad. I know you're not here anymore. But listen, I really needed you to paint the shed today. Dad, if you're planning on haunting me, come down and haunt me now. Bring your van. Bring your van. Yeah, bring

Starting point is 00:14:43 when they're like say unnecessary things. Oh, just don't, don't interject the useless information because I don't care. And I just find it really rude and just unnecessary.
Starting point is 00:14:53 They're patronising, yeah. Patronising. Oh, do you know, do you remember when, we went shopping once and we did a really big shop and the woman commented on how much we're spending
Starting point is 00:15:00 and I was like, right, right. No, put it back all, put it all back through and go fuck yourself because i've come here to spend some money and you're judging us for how much i'm spending nothing to do with you do you know what i mean but that was when you bought a load of baby clothes that was at the time when robin was little it was like expensive because of all that but i do
Starting point is 00:15:19 remember she was having a go and it's like you fucking work here oh should i go and tell the manager that you're telling us to spend less I know and then at the end I can't remember what shop it was but they asked if you had one of the points cards I was like
Starting point is 00:15:29 no she's getting oh well I just thought oh yeah if we're talking about if we're talking about the time when we were at Millie's Cookies
Starting point is 00:15:38 and you were getting and I was getting a cookie I don't know if we're talking about apologies listener if I have talked about this but we're at Millie's Cookies at the metro centre and I was like getting a cookie and I was buzzing I was like I've been're talking about it. Apologies, listeners, if I have talked about this, right? But Millie's cookies at the Mario Center. And I was like getting a cookie and I was buzzing.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I was like, I've been looking forward to it the whole time. I'd been going around the shops with her like a little kid. And I got the cookie and she literally put it on the counter. And I was like, nice one. And then she was slightly rude in one of something she said. And you were like, oh, it doesn't matter. And you like marched away. And I had to give the fucking cookie back.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I was devastated. I was nearly crying. I just hate rudeness. She was really rude, to be fair. Just was devastated. I was nearly crying. I just hate rudeness. I hate it. She was really rude, to be fair. Just being really, really sort of ignorant.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I get on me, I just get on me high horse though because I've worked in retail. No, the difference is you got on my high horse. That was my cookie. The only thing that happened there
Starting point is 00:16:17 was I didn't get me cookie. We went to the other one down the road and you got a cookie there and I complained. Said the last of the other one was terrible. She was the manager. What, the last of the other one was the road and you got a cookie there and i complained said the other the last of the other one it was terrible she was a manager what the last of the other one was that one's boss yeah goodness me i was listening i was bloody balls deep in cookie by then oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:16:34 no i don't i don't like rudeness and i don't like bad customer service like when you go up to the till and the chat neutral then you're like, hello, am I invisible? Yeah. Customer is always first. Not always right, but they're always first. How do you feel when someone's on a phone when you go in, if there's someone in the shop and they're on their phone just chatting away? What do you mean? A customer?
Starting point is 00:16:57 No, no, no. It's a person behind the counter just chatting away on the phone. Why would they be on the phone? Sometimes they are. At petrol stations, it happens quite a lot. Then I wouldn't take my customer there. No? No. What if you had zero miles left on your fuel?
Starting point is 00:17:08 I would just, I'd wait out for you to go to a different petrol station to bring me a tank of petrol to me car. I'd push me car up the hard shoulder with me pride. I'd hire one of the strongest men to come and bring
Starting point is 00:17:23 me car back, tow it down John Reed Road because that's the petrol station we were at I'll see you pick one really close to home in this scenario oh good I remember once
Starting point is 00:17:35 I was in the metro centre I used to go like I know the metro centre like the back of my hand because I used to go there every single week with my mum
Starting point is 00:17:41 when I was younger and I just used to go around all the clothes shops with my mum like it was obviously I didn't have brothers or sisters such a lonely child I used to go there every single week with my mom when I was younger. And I just used to go around all the clothes shops with my mom. Like, it was obviously I didn't have brothers or sisters. Such a lonely child. Such a lonely child. Terrible.
Starting point is 00:17:51 However, however, she always used to take us to Pizza Hut and then the cinema. But I had to go through like Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge and everything like that. I can see where she's coming from. Yeah, yeah. It's all about compromise. I remember in like, is Wallace, was that a lady's shop? Still going to do. Still one,
Starting point is 00:18:08 was something like that, right? We're in there. And my mom was, I think she was taking something back or she was asking how the store card worked or something. And I remember the woman
Starting point is 00:18:16 rolled her eyes. She'd like turn to someone else and she like rolled her eyes and my mom caught her and my mom like blasted her in the shop in front of everyone. Honestly, I felt sick all day. I couldn't eat my garlic bread at Pizza Hut. Why? Because your mom like blasted her in the shop in front of everyone. Honestly I felt sick all day.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I couldn't eat my garlic bread at Pizza Hut. Why? Because your mom had blasted you. It was the first time I'd seen
Starting point is 00:18:30 something like that happen. She was like I saw you and the woman was like no I'm rolling my eyes at this
Starting point is 00:18:34 like returned item here and she was like you weren't you're rolling at me. Come on son and she marched
Starting point is 00:18:38 out and I was fucking mortified. I'd have done the same. I know you would have. Oh god. Didn't even get
Starting point is 00:18:44 that bloody sequined dress I was buying from Wallace. I don't know. I was obsessed done the same. I know you would have. Oh, God. Didn't even get that bloody sequined dress I was buying from Wallace. I don't know. I was obsessed with all the sequins when I was little. I think that's why
Starting point is 00:18:50 I ended up on Strictly. Loved all the sequined dresses. You just always kept trying to get me around to buying one. That you had the strangest childhood ever.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I did. I would just go on. You know them ones that Robin's got now where you flick the sequins up and it makes a different picture? Fucking hell.
Starting point is 00:19:04 If they were around when I was a kid, Christ alive. I don't, my mum never took us shopping. No? It just wouldn't, nah,
Starting point is 00:19:10 it wouldn't have happened. It was three years ago, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So you go in the metro centre for us would have been, like now,
Starting point is 00:19:16 because we go quite often and Robin's just like, oh, I don't want to go. When we were kids and my mum, if my mum said, let's go to the metro centre,
Starting point is 00:19:22 honestly, I would have wet myself with pure excitement. Just being yes so metroland oh metroland rest in peace metroland no one's gonna know what this is but metroland was inside of the metro centre which is and it was a fairground and they got rid of it and it was the worst day of my life that might be actually for people around the world and around the country listening to this, who aren't from the North East, that is actually an incredibly strange set-up. It was inside, the Metro Centre is obviously a big shopping centre, and it was inside one area of it, which is now a cinema,
Starting point is 00:19:55 and it was a full-on fair. There was dodgems, there was a rollercoaster. There was a stage. I saw five there. You saw five in Metroland. I'm sure they did. A 911. I think they were there. A 911?

Starting point is 00:23:54 and I think I think Instagram followers and Twitter followers and some of the smiles and dazs out there are already familiar with this but my beef with you
Starting point is 00:24:02 this week is on Saturday morning I think or was it Sunday i can't remember i'm still traumatized you let our son come upstairs and wake me up with a whistle so fucking loud so loud he just came up with his whistle you're just sitting down here god knows what you're doing in fact he woke us up with a whistle and then i didn't get out of bed and then i quickly looked at my phone and your top tweet was i've just let robin go and wake chris up with a whistle, and then I didn't get out of bed, and then I quickly looked at my phone, and your top tweet was, I've just let Robin go and wake Chris up with a whistle. I got out of bed, and I could hear him wanting to come back up, and I was going to get back in the bed after I'd been in the toilet,
Starting point is 00:24:33 and then I heard him say, where's me cricket bat? And then he came running upstairs with a cricket bat, and I was like, I'm up, I'm up! I don't know what you were going to do, but I'm up! Jesus Christ! I'm just, do you know what it is? Everyone what you were going to do, but I'm up. Jesus Christ. I'm just, you know what it is? Everyone always says these are the days that you'll miss. So I'm just really making sure that they're ingrained in your memory.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Do you know how often he asks to come and wake you up when I get up with him? Like, do you know how often he says, I want to go and wake Mammy up. And I go, no. And I barter with him. And I let you stay in bed. And you are giving him accessories to come and wake me up up. And I'd go, no. And I'd barter with him. And I'd let you stay in bed. And you are giving him accessories to come and wake me up. It was quarter to nine, Chris. I'd been gigging.
Starting point is 00:25:11 That's bloody, that's lunch. Quarter to nine. Who do you think you are? Hugh Hefner. Eh? Lounging in your bed. Hugh Hefner must have got up early. Old people get up early.

Starting point is 00:26:14 this week is when you sit on your phone of an evening in bed, you leave your mouth open and it's disgusting and all I can smell
Starting point is 00:26:24 is your breath and you breathe like a whale and I had do you remember the other night I had to go over and close your mouth
Starting point is 00:26:32 why did you do that how do you not know how do you not know that your mouth is open do you know what it was right I was sitting there on my phone
Starting point is 00:26:39 and I'm sitting I didn't realise I was doing it my mouth's obviously gaping open you do it all the time like mouth breathing and like your hand came in and like sort of touched my chin and I was like oh I should probably turn this round Ac nid oeddwn i'n gwneud hynny wrth fy modd, mae fy môth yn gwneud ymgysylltu.

And I just find it really... I find it personally really hard to breathe through my mouth. Really? So the fact that you're just on the regs deciding, relaxing to breathe.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I'm not deciding. It's just happening. I can't... I don't know why, I don't know why I do it. I feel very relaxed when it's happening. But then, yeah. I'm glad you're relaxed,
Starting point is 00:27:50 but it's not nice. I feel massively self-conscious after you lean over and just flick me head like a fucking Pez dispenser. Shut your mouth. Right, I'll amend this in the future. Thank you. It's time for Questions from the Public. this in the future. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:28:06 It's time for questions from the public. Questions from the public. Public. Public. As always, guys, if you want to get in touch, it is shaggedmardenoid at gmail.com. Send us literally whatever you want because some of it is bloody fantastic.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Some of it is not. Some of it is utter drivel, but that's fine. Well, that's fine. I've been going back, back in the archives. Really? Yeah. Taking it back now, y'all. Hashtag throwback Thursday, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:28:33 All of them. Yeah. Throwback. Come on, then. Oh, God. What? I didn't know where that was going. Hi, Rosie and Chris.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Do you think it's okay for guys to have a female best friend and vice versa? I've been with my girlfriend for just under a year now and she still isn't completely comfortable with me having a female best friend. So this is, I'm guessing this is a man and a woman. Yes, so I've been with my girlfriend and he's got a female best friend. Right, okay. I've been open about it from the start, and they've even met each other. Yet, whenever I see her,
Starting point is 00:29:07 or if we go for lunch or a coffee, it's always met with slight jealousy from my girlfriend, and she goes in a huff. According to her, it's not usual for guys and girls to be best mates. Any advice on what to do as it does my head in? Please don't read my name slash email because she listens to the podcast. Thanks!
Starting point is 00:29:26 What do you think? What's your thoughts, feelings, admirations, etc? I am from a group of friends when I was younger and we never, it was all boys. We were all boys. There was no, but that was mainly
Starting point is 00:29:42 because we were losers. I'm sure we would have liked to have girls in the group but there was no girls in the group there was no girls wanted to come to my house
Starting point is 00:29:54 and play Halo on floor on four screen split player it's weird that yeah yeah do you know why they didn't want to come
Starting point is 00:29:59 floor player split four player split screen hey thanks for coming everyone great do you know do you know why the girls didn't want to come why because those bedrooms always stunk Four player split screen. Hey, thanks for coming, everyone. Great. Do you know why the girls didn't want to come? Why?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Because those bedrooms always stunk. Ah, right, yeah. I've been in them bedrooms with boys playing computer games and it just stinks and you get ignored. And honestly, you're sat there and you think, I could be doing a lot of better stuff, but you still stay. I could be drinking Lambrini in the cemetery here. Well, a lot more fun. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah, I have never had a female best friend uh apart from obviously you know me mom and i was gonna see you um i'm not your best friend yeah yeah but um no i i don't i feel like it is immature it could be looked upon as immature to be like, well, you can't be best friends with someone of the opposite sex, but I kind of get where she's coming from. Do you know what I mean? I kind of do get it. Although I'm sure it's absolutely platonic and there's nothing wrong,
Starting point is 00:30:56 but I can understand why she's jealous is what I'm saying. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had a male best friend who wasn't gay. No, I've had best friends who've been gay but not straight male best friends no friends who are male, yes
Starting point is 00:31:12 but no, it is a bit strange I don't think I I'm not a jealous person but I don't think I would be comfortable if your best friend was female I don't know, I don't know why are we really I don't know probably I don't know why. Yeah, are we really? Are we stupid? There's probably people listening thinking, well, that's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:31:27 So would it upset you if I had a female best friend? Possibly, but then I feel like I would end up being good friends with her. Oh, okay. I don't know. I don't know. I've never been in that situation. So listen, if you want to be my best friend and you are a female, apply now. And we'll just wind Rosie up about it.
Starting point is 00:31:47 And that'll be good. How about that? I don't agree with this at all. That would be awful. Please don't. I can't be arsed with a friend. I don't want any friends. I've got enough.

Starting point is 00:33:50 No, there's nobody there. This is an email, which I've copied and pasted onto a document. So it's even less communal, if that makes sense. I'm trying to use some big words, what with writing the book and that. I'm really trying to broaden my vocabulary. Communal is the wrong word. I know. to use some big words with writing the book and that. I'm really trying to broaden my vocabulary. Camilla was the wrong word.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I know. That's what I mean. It's not working at all. I'm trying. Our book's going to be like you know in Friends where Dewey uses a thesaurus for his letter
Starting point is 00:34:15 and he signs off baby kangaroo. That's going to be our book, isn't it? The chapters you do are going to be just fucking gobbledygook. Chris, I put an Instagram
Starting point is 00:34:22 post on yesterday because I was working from bed and I was buzzing and wrote something on my computer screen and I took a picture of it and put it on. I wrote it wrong and somebody corrected us. It was like, it was so embarrassing. So I put a picture
Starting point is 00:34:35 of the laptop screen and this is what I'd wrote on the laptop screen. It said, Chad Brandon Oyd dash the book. There will hopefully be loads of funny stuff wrote here the end and then somebody corrected us in
Starting point is 00:34:48 written yeah and I thought oh shit so I thought you were going to say it was the wrong they
Starting point is 00:34:56 oh no I'm good at that I've got the yours the they's I've got them all down but it was it's like the past
Starting point is 00:35:02 what is that oh there we go no exactly you bowled into that and then you bottled it instantaneously just really terrible with grammar but we've got an editor who's gonna go through it and she'll correct that she works for penguin so that'll be nice she's a heavy hitter she'll be cool she knows what she's doing she knows her stuff so don't worry about it i know wrote the written and the blending and the borrowings will all be sorted out. Patience gets me.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Hospital patients or... Patience. Oh, I know that one. Oh, I don't know that one. I wrote that one wrong the other day. Wow. Ugh. Should we just knock it on the head?
Starting point is 00:35:35 Let's just not bother. We'll barely fucking speak on this podcast, let alone put it down in a book form. What are we doing? Listen, it'll be great. Do you want to hear about Alfie? Yeah. My name is Alfie.
Starting point is 00:35:44 When I was seven, I had a friend called Matthew. And like many kids kids we used to play a fight in the garden one day we were wrestling each other i picked up a hard folding chair and slammed the tip of it into his ribs as hard as i could i cracked one of his ribs and bruised another and then god lord intense isn't it and then with my brother a week, I threw him off of our trampoline and onto a hard wooden table, which didn't break, but his back nearly did. God, heavens. I was banned from watching any wrestling. I was just about to say, wrestling.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Someone's mom had Sky. Yeah, and I wasn't allowed to go to Matthew's house for three weeks. So my question for you is, have you ever badly hurt one of your friends slash relatives by accident but on purpose or am I just a murderer in the making? Holy shit. That's Alfie.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Alfie's a psychopath. That was madness. Alfie's just a young lad who watched wrestling too young. Yeah. Should be watching wrestling at seven. Yeah, I suppose like, yeah. You know. Good God.
Starting point is 00:36:42 It reminded me though of a story and I don't know if you know this. When I was five, my brother Kevin was like three or two and a half or three. We were getting the bathroom done and the metal door handle was not on the door. It was on the shelf. Yeah. My brother picked it up and smashed it on the back of my head. And it split my head open. I had to go to hospital.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I think you've mentioned it. Oh, nah, nah. It's intense, isn't it? It's like a metal, basically like an L shape, like a door handle, like a long door handle. Yeah, like a full on metal door handle. Oh my God. Heavy. It was gold colour, but I don't think, well obviously it wasn't gold because we weren't
Starting point is 00:37:21 very well off, but it was like sprayed gold. No, Rosie, everyone who listens to the podcast and me, we knew you meant brass. Like brass. That's what I meant, brass. No one's going, yeah, that'll be the gold, solid gold fixings in their Sandra's palace. It wasn't real gold.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Fuck me. Brass. Like every other door handle in the North East in the 90s, it was brass. Well, that's heavy though, isn't it? Is that heavier than metal? Sorry, is brass heavier than metal? Is that the question you just asked us? Maybe. You know what? Brass is a metal.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Metal is the group. Gold is a metal. Silver is a metal. Brass is a metal. It's just a group of metal. Oh, of course. The worst bit is you're not listening. That's the worst bit. I am listening. No, because I'll ask you this in a couple of days and you'll go, I don't know what you're talking about. And I'll go, I remember I told you. You switch off.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Ask me about groups of metal and I'll tell you all of them. There's copper, steel, aluminium. Right, yeah, okay. Are they all metals? I think they're all metals, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Thank you. Good God. Anyway, yeah, he smacked it. You know someone's going to, I'm like, that's the thing with the internet and putting this out there. You know someone's going to correct me. You know someone's going,
Starting point is 00:38:42 actually, such and such falls under the subcategory of an alloy. I'm like, oh God. Well, maybe you shouldn't try and correct me then,
Starting point is 00:38:51 eh Chris? I know, but I feel like I need to try at least sometimes, otherwise it's just going to be like absolute fucking nonsense more than it actually already is. Well,
Starting point is 00:38:58 listen, it just puts me off because they're different colours. But that's fine. I'm glad that I'm learning. Hey, I'm learning. So he hit us with a bit of metal
Starting point is 00:39:05 and split me head open. I've just kicked a bit of metal on the bottom of the table. Karma. But the day wasn't completely ruined because with any hospital trip when I was younger, my dad brought a happy meal in. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Both Kev won and I like, which I was raging about. The bloody assault. GBH Kev won and I like What? Which I was raging about The bloody assault Aye GBH Kev The assault her And the assault he Both got the same prize I know
Starting point is 00:39:31 At least I hope he took the toy out of his And threw it away No you got it Aye Full on got it Rosie I've got you a happy meal Kev I've got you A plain burger
Starting point is 00:39:41 No fries I've got you a bowl of gruel. I've got two things to tell you. Did I ever tell you when I was in hospital, they thought I had a burst of blood vessel in my brain? I don't know. Why are you laughing? Why?
Starting point is 00:40:00 How dare you? Why did you immediately start pissing yourself laughing? I don't know. I think it's like... That's absolutely terrible. I can't believe this. Chris, I'm sorry. I can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:40:14 I was like a nervous reaction. You've never told me that. You thought you... Yeah. Because I thought you were going to say a birth to blood vessel like in your neck or something, not your brain. No, no. Sorry, that's quite serious. I don't not your brain. No, no, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Sorry, that's quite serious. I don't mean to laugh. It was when I was a top flight amateur boxer for those two fights I had that I got beaten in. Oh, I hate it when you talk about boxing. Your boxing days. Oh, God. Oh, Rosie, do you know when I used to box, I used to have to run up and down the beach like 25 times. No, no. 100% record, two used to have to run up and down the beach like 25 times. No, no.
Starting point is 00:40:46 100% record. Two fights, two losses. Packed it in. Mugs game. Tell us about your first blood vessel. So I went to Gypsy Screen, the stadium, the track, the running track. The running track. On a Saturday morning.
Starting point is 00:41:01 And I was like running. I just got this like shooting pain in my head. Like unbelievable. And I went to the doctor's about, it was like two days later. I went to the doctor's about, I was like, I I just got this like shooting pain in my head, like unbelievable. And I went to the doctor's about it was like two days later, I went to the doctor's about I was like, I've still got this mad headache. And then they were like, Oh, what happened? And I was like, Oh, I was running and it just instantly happened while I was running. They were like, Oh, and I go to the hospital.
Starting point is 00:41:18 I was like, and I went into admissions water hospital. I had to like stay overnight because apparently like an instant shooting pain. Did you get a stay over? Oh, see see you're jealous I wouldn't give anything to stay in hospital overnight
Starting point is 00:41:29 honestly had to stay overnight admissions war had to stay overnight I had to have a brain scan
Starting point is 00:41:33 and I had to have a lumbar puncture where they put the thing in the back of your spine why don't I
Starting point is 00:41:37 know this I don't know what was it I was hungover that's what the headache was I'd been out drinking on a Friday night and then I'd went training the next morning? I was hungover. That's what the headache was. I'd been out drinking on a Friday night, and then I'd went training the next morning,
Starting point is 00:41:48 and I was trying to do too much while I was hungover. Oh, I'm sorry. It was literally a hangover. Bleeding the NHS dry. Yeah, terrible. Absolutely terrible. And you got kept in overnight for that? Because of it happening instantly,
Starting point is 00:42:01 but it probably didn't happen instantly. The alcohol wore off off and I probably realised I don't know I was like 19 or 17 19 aye 19
Starting point is 00:42:09 lying to the services I wasn't lying I was in agony but it you had a hangover it was just it was terrible innit
Starting point is 00:42:18 but Chris you are mollycoddled but but can I just say the main reason
Starting point is 00:42:24 I'm talking about this is, my dad brought us a pizza to the hospital. Oh, dear. Right? Brought us a 12-inch margarita from Gills to the hospital, right? Yeah. Carried it under his arm like a book.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Oh, that's not good. So that's what I'm trying to get at here. That was the real victim. Literally carried it. Why did he do that? Like you would carry a laptop. It was like a fucking calzone when it came. But your mum and dad don't get takeaways.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I didn't know how to carry it. He didn't know how to carry your pizza. He just carried it. I was like, what the fuck is this? It looked like he'd been hit by a car. I know, but this is the same man who eats an egg off a plate without his hands. Yeah, he doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Doesn't give a shit. And I forgot the other story I was going to tell you You got it Babadoo babadoo babadoo Hi Rosie and Chris In a restaurant My husband loves Perusing the menu
Starting point is 00:43:13 And making his choice Based on the descriptions He gets really annoyed Like toddler tantrum annoyed If his dish arrives And it's not as promised Oh For example
Starting point is 00:43:24 One He ordered lamb shank based on the sound of the rosemary roasted potatoes that came with it. It arrived with boiled potatoes. That is annoying to be fair. Very annoying. I'll give him that. They nearly got thrown at the wall, she said.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Wow. Two, he ordered a prawn cocktail starter because it was a hot day and he liked the sound of the iceberg lettuce wedge it came with. It arrived with rocket salad. Sorry, no, I'm not on his side anymore. He's with a knob. You wouldn't believe the disappointment on his face.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Three. Talk about first world problems. He ordered beer-battered fish and chips in a gastro pub. It looked amazing. When it arrived, they'd put dill in the batter, which he can't eat. I think this might have broken him. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:13 So what is your most disappointing food disaster in a restaurant and how did you react? Oh, wow. Wow. What's yours? I love him. The first one that jumps to mind for me, and it's weird because I was drunk,
Starting point is 00:44:26 and this is how bad the food was. Right. It was on me stag do, right? Yeah. Me and a friend of the podcast, Carl Hutchinson. Don't offer. Honestly. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Please. I'm sorry, right? I'm sorry. Let's go. He's my only friend outside this room, right? I do love Carl a lot lot but it's getting ridiculous. Well look, this story isn't about him.
Starting point is 00:44:47 It's about me mainly and some food. So there was this place near the hotel in Portugal, Albufeira, called Tony's Pizzeria.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Oh, sounds classy. Classy little joint. Oh God, right. So we'd go there. It was literally open like three in the morning. You would go there and they'd be cooking all kinds.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah. And we, everyone's just getting pizzas and stuff but we decided me and carl because we're you know because we're a couple of pains in the arse we said let's get spaghetti bolognese from the pizzeria at three o'clock in the morning yeah that's not that's not a sensible idea i don't know why we did it um we'd already had a couple of hot dogs on the strip as well from the little hot dog van so i don't know why i don't know why we did this anyway got the midnight munchies yeah
Starting point is 00:45:25 so I remember saying oh you know can I get some two spaghetti bolognas and like a pizza to share between us because we're big fat pigs and
Starting point is 00:45:33 what happened was I went and sat at the table for a bit and I went up to see what was going on and I watched the guy bearing in mind
Starting point is 00:45:41 me expectations were low because it was three in the morning and I was drunk and this was a pizzeria and I was just going to get some pasta to soak some of the lager up. Yeah. He was pouring pre-ground mince, frozen sort of pre-ground mince,
Starting point is 00:45:57 into the pot from what I can only describe as a cement bag. What do you mean? It was fucking massive. It was the biggest bag I've ever seen. And he was holding it like a giant pillowcase. Just a nondescript blue,
Starting point is 00:46:10 like a blue bag. And he was just like, and it was just like this frozen sort of ground mince sort of, yeah, cat food stuff was like pouring into this pan. And I like looked
Starting point is 00:46:20 and I went, is that the mince? And he was like, yes, it'll not be long. And he just like, totally not, totally nonplussed that I'd look. And he was pouring it in and I walked back over and I went, is that the mince? And he was like, yes, it'll not be long. And he just totally nonplussed that I'd looked. And he was pouring it in and I walked back over and I went,
Starting point is 00:46:28 Carl, he's pouring it in out of a fucking, what looks like a giant blue pillowcase. I was like, this is an absinthe. And it came and it was one of the worst things I've ever eaten in my life. Did you eat it? No, we're drunk, we had a couple of mouthfuls of it. And the whole story ends with Carl,
Starting point is 00:46:42 as we're walking out, Carl turned around and shouted, Tony's Pizzeria Tony should be locked up and then we both ran off down the street Listen Bad boys for life You two
Starting point is 00:47:00 don't mess with them Ramsey's Kitchen neighbors Bad boys, bad boys what you're gonna do what you're gonna do when they come for you well you'll be locked up what's yours my well my disasters in restaurants is whenever i order the seafood pasta get really excited oh yeah so i've got cheese on yeah always got cheese on and i want to cry, because why would you put cheese on a seafood pasta? You are plagued. You are plagued by surprise cheese, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:47:32 All the time. Everywhere you go, they stick a bit of cheese in. I tell them that I'm allergic to it now, so that they don't put it on. Another friend of the podcast, Jason Cook, he says it's really fucking irritating going for a meal with him. So irritating when he does it, but it does going for a meal with him so irritating when he does it
Starting point is 00:47:46 but it does work yeah because it sticks in the head he says he does it with mushrooms and he does it with cheese right so he'll say
Starting point is 00:47:54 can I have the burger please no cheese I can't have cheese or I'll die wow that's what he actually says that's good though can I get that
Starting point is 00:48:02 no mushrooms he looks them in the eye and he goes I can't have mushrooms or I'll die right and i'm like fucked it i'm like so embarrassed but it works because it sticks in their mind yeah people always say no this no that you know none of that can you take that away can i have it without the sauce or whatever and they go all right but if you look if you're brass brash enough to look them in the eye and go i'll die if i have that like the chances are they're going to remember
Starting point is 00:48:25 when they get back to the kitchen. Really serious allergy. Absolutely mortifying to be around when he does it, but it does work. I might try it. I can have the cheese toasty, please, but no cheese or I'll die. Do you want some toast?
Starting point is 00:48:40 Yeah. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo. Hi, guys. I seem to always be the one that witnesses disgusting stuff that my mates don't believe. Strangely, they always happen on the train. Get in. One of my favourite examples is,
Starting point is 00:48:56 one time on the train out of London, a lady got on with her guide dog and sat diagonally in front of me across the aisle. At the next stop, a Mick hucknall doppelganger got on and sat behind her and her impeccably behaved dog what happened next i'm sure would be classed as some sort of abuse oh he started to fuss the dog the dog got more vigorous and he was really getting into it getting his hands right into the fur. I think he rubbed the... Sorry!
Starting point is 00:49:28 What the hell's happening here? This is what it says. He stroked a dog. So he's stroking the dog. First of all, can I say, don't stroke a working dog. If it's a guide dog or if it's a, what do you call it,
Starting point is 00:49:40 an assistance dog, ask the owner first. Is that what you do? You've got to. You can't just start... Yeah, totally. Say to the owner, is it okay if I stroke dog, ask the owner first. Is that what you do? You got to. You can't just start. Yeah, totally. Say to the owner, is it okay if I stalk your dog?
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yeah. That's a lot of work. They're grafting. They're grafting? Exactly. He might get his hours docked. Oh, poor baby. So he's getting his hands right in the fur.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Right. I think he rubbed the dog for a solid 15 minutes. Right. At this point, I'd say his hands needed a good wash. Right. Okay. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:50:08 He sat back in his seat and proceeded to suck each finger like it was coated in sticky sauce. Oh! Yeah. Oh, no! Yeah, so he's been right in that fur. And now he's sat in his seat and he's licking all of his fingers, getting that juicy fur goodness off.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Goodness. And they're oily dogs, them. Labradors and that. I'm assuming it's a Labrador. Guide dogs are normally Labradors. Yeah, possibly. Labradors and sort of Rottweilers and stuff, they get a bit of oil on them.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Yeah, that's what he's doing. Oh, my God. See, I thought straight away, I thought I was going to have to cut you off. I thought you were going to say he stroked the dog and then he ate a sandwich without washing his hands. And I was like, Rosie I thought I was going to have to cut you off. I thought you were going to say he stroked the dog, then he ate a sandwich without washing his hands. And I was like, Rosie, dog lovers are going to email in and say, you don't have to wash your hands.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Some dogs are cute, blah, blah, blah. But that is just perverted. No, no, he's licking it. He's deliberately went right in on this dog. He's essentially, he's licked the dog by proxy. Absolutely, yeah. If you call the middleman out of the hands, he's basically licked her dog on a train.
Starting point is 00:51:00 He's one step above Catwoman. Yeah. Can me mate lick your dog? Oh, I need to tell you the dog story. Have I told this before? No. Have I not told you the dog story? Oh, I think you might have, but do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Oh, right. Okay. So I used to work in a band and we used to tour around the country and we worked with a girl called Lisa and she was quite young and naive, but I mean, she's not anymore. She was just married in that now, but she was so lovely. And we were once driving through a village, and there was a dog walking along, and the dog had its tongue hanging out the side of its mouth, like...
Starting point is 00:51:38 And so, out of nowhere, she looked at the dog, and then looked at us and went, That dog's hot as out so from then on uh lisa fancied dogs right yeah so every dog we were like oh lisa so hot as out so as out if anyone who doesn't get the northeast phrase there uh so as out it's like af like as fuck kind of thing as out would be a family friendly version you know i'm hot as out i'm i'm hot as fuck kind of thing but yeah that is our dogs apologies if that's already been said but oh my god i love that it's one of my favorite things that's ever happened when you just think
Starting point is 00:52:20 oh i'm so glad you said that and i was here to hear that. Back to this. So, yeah. So, the guy's watching this guy lick his fingers. Oh, sorry, no, this is a girl, it's Becky who sent this in. I felt dirty just watching him. The guide dog kept looking round
Starting point is 00:52:34 as if he felt dirty about it too. No, he didn't. Oh, no. No, the dog didn't know. Oh, the poor dog. The dog didn't know. He's literally being assaulted on public transport.
Starting point is 00:52:43 The dog didn't know. The lady that owned the dog obviously had no clue that she was blind. So the whole experience was just horrific. That is the perfect crime, isn't it? I know. I bet he does it all the time. Whenever he sees a guide dog, I bet he can't answer it. That's disgusting, that.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Horrible, isn't it? That must be his thing. What a dog perv. Have I ever told you about the time I was on the metro? I was coming back from Newcastle. I worked in all sports at the time and a mate of mine who used to come in all the time on a Saturday and speak to us and stand with his girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:53:12 His girlfriend, that girl, was sitting in the next carriage. So I knew her, but I didn't know her enough to go, oh hello, I'll sit next to you. It was just mate's girlfriend who came into the shop. This young chavava lad this sort of tracksuit wearing drunk lad got on and he sat opposite her right and he just was like he wasn't
Starting point is 00:53:31 like threatening but he was just like yeah it was like it was it was the worst pickup attempt i've ever seen he was literally in like a proper newcastle charva accent he was just gonna yeah you're like absolutely lush you like and she was just like sitting and i mean she must have felt a bit but he wasn't being horrendous but he was like you're all lush oh yeah i'd love to go and take you out for a drink and that you want to come out with me and she was like i've got a boyfriend he was like oh and then you just sort of sat there going he's the luckiest bloke in the world yeah if you ever finish with your boyfriend gives a ring right i'll be straight down and all this and i sat like pissing my pants watching he got off
Starting point is 00:54:06 the metro right and i immediately stood up and i walked along to her and just as the doors shut i turned and looked at him and i sat down and i put my arm around her and she was laughing i was laughing and he he looked fucking devastated just as like a fuck you to him for getting on and sort of like getting on and bothering her and like i sort of walked down and i nodded and she nodded at me and i like looked at him and i sat down and i put my arm and i looked at him out the window and he looked honestly like he was gonna cry i love that it was quality i wonder what his success rate is i don't know but i've i've never i i forgot about that until you just told until you just told that story. Well done. I've never felt cooler in my life. So good.
Starting point is 00:54:47 That reminds me, just hearing you do that Jodie lad voice. Do you remember when we were younger and you'd be somewhere and people would just go around going, yeah, will you snog me mate? Oh, yeah, will you snog me mate? Come on. Oh, yeah, snog me mate. And you'd be like, no, I will not snog your mate.
Starting point is 00:55:08 But thank you for asking. Snog is a kiss with tongues, if anyone in the whole world... Like a French kiss. Yeah, like a, yeah, yeah. But it happens so often. Everywhere I went, somebody was just asking to snog someone.

It just been ulcers and everything sorry everywhere you went someone was asking to snog someone it just happened loads why wasn't her at these places why was her in the house

Fucking animals are farther than wood around here. Oh, goodness. So my son was one of the Beavers, and there was going to be a big trip to London to see the sights, and then sleep on the Golden Hind,
Starting point is 00:58:20 which is a Tudor ship on the River Thames. Oh, right, okay. I didn't know you could sleep on them. Weird. Strange. She asked me to come along as a parent helper, and I thought, why not? Why not, eh?
Starting point is 00:58:30 Cheeky little trip to London. Oh, God. Part of the trip was going on the London Eye. Each pod of the London Eye holds around 25 people, so the organisers of the trip decided to split our group, which was 30 people in total, into two groups of 15. This meant that we were in two pods next to each other, but we also had around 10 members of the public
Starting point is 00:58:50 in each pod with us. Public, public, public. Do you know what, like three times now during this story, I've forgot it's in the Let's Talk About Shit section and I've remembered and got scared. And I'm scared again. Yeah, it's in the, it's in the, oh God. It involves feces.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Come on then. I was in the first pod with my friend and, it's in the... Oh, God. It involves feces. Come on, then. I was in the first pod with my friend and the other leaders in the second pod. The London Eye takes around 30 to 35 minutes to do a full rotation of the thing. Oh, God. No, it's not my cup of tea. I'm all right for that, like. I know, me too.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I'm absolutely all right for the London Eye. Well, I'm terrified of heights, so I just don't think I would enjoy it. I'm just all right for it. I'm like... Oh, yeah. Look, Well, I'm terrified of heights, so I just don't think I would enjoy it. I'm just all right for it. I'm like... Oh, yeah. Look, there's us and 35 other people. Great.
Starting point is 00:59:30 What can you see? Stuff. It must be quite nice, though. It's something to do, isn't it? How much is it? I don't know. Is it expensive? I reckon it'd be pretty expensive.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Anyway, we've never done it. I'm just all right for them. I'm all right for Ferris wheels and that. Me too. I hate them. I started putting them up in all the... Every city had one at one point. Yeah. There was one in Manchester, like, right
Starting point is 00:59:47 next to the shopping centre. I could barely see over the top of the shopping centre. We've never had one. What's that for? I mean, there's even less to see up here. Crikey. There's a wall somewhere. Adrian's wall. About halfway through,
Starting point is 01:00:04 my friend's phone rings her face went white and she started looking at the other pod when she hung up she started to laugh it took her ages to be able to get the story out to me the call was from one of the leaders
Starting point is 01:00:17 in the pod behind us one of the beavers had done an explosive diarrhea oh my god and literally poo was pouring out of his trousers and onto the floor of the pod. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:00:32 You need to bear in mind that these pods are sealed, no windows and you can't obviously get out as you are high in the sky looking at London. This is what tickled me, right? So obviously that's disgusting. Apologies, but this is the funny one.
Starting point is 01:00:48 This is the funny bit. Everyone in this pod moved to one end and when I looked up to see them, there were adults and children pushed against the glass trying to suck some fresh air from any gaps there. I'm begging you. to suck some fresh air from any gaps there. That's fucking amazing. Oh, God, it probably tilted.
Starting point is 01:01:15 It probably tilted to one side. Oh, God. The poor members of the public who had paid a lot of money to go on this ride in queue for ages only to be trapped inside an airless box with a beaver's absolutely wonderful that's from joel thank you joe hey hey hey joe thank you mate as it's backed by popular demand shall we expand this section because I know you mentioned to me that you had Possibly another poo question
Starting point is 01:01:48 Do you want another one Should we just throw them both in here Like two children Shitting all over the London Eye They're in here together Here we go Hi Rosie and Chris I have a poo related story I have been meaning to tell you
Starting point is 01:02:03 What is this podcast I've been meaning to tell you Literally on a this podcast? I've been meaning to tell you. Literally on a to-do list. Did you think this is what you would be doing? Yeah. Did you really? I told you I had a game in infants. I had a game that me and my friend did called the Poo Pants Brothers.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Oh yes. You'd crouch down and run around and just go... The joke was that you're just basically jumping around while making a poo noise. you'd like crouch down and run around and just go, and like the joke was that just, it's just basically jumping around while making a pummel noise. We also had, um,
Starting point is 01:02:31 puerilator things at school. Yeah. When I went to school, there was the diarrhea corner and you'd play a tag and whoever lost had to be put in the diarrhea corner and it was a corner of the wall and you just put it in the wall like diarrhea. And that was it. True story. Right. Okay. So it was a corner of the wall. And you just put it in. They were like, diarrhea. And that was it. True story. Right, okay.
Starting point is 01:02:48 So there was no diarrhea. It was just called the diarrhea corner. It wasn't like a brown stain on the wall. No, no. It was just the diarrhea. See? It was just the diarrhea corner. Kids obsessed with it.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Oh, was it the poo corner? And I've never grown up. I've never grown up. It was one of them. Come on then. What's the next one? Okay. It was a lovely spring afternoon.
Starting point is 01:03:04 So I decided to go for a walk alone. On my way back, I went through a little lane that ran behind a park. Towards the end of this route home, there was a 90 degree angled corner going around someone's back garden. The corner is blind. So there I was walking along, minding my own business, listening to a podcast. As I rounded the corner, my path was obstructed. There was someone squatting in the middle of the path, taking a shit. Oh, no, man.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Yeah. A grown-up. Well. Oh. Listen to this. Time stopped. The man locked eyes with me. Man.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Mid-shite. I watched in horror, in slow slow motion as the stool he had been producing finished curling out and fell to the ground i'm gonna be sick oh my god that portion of the encounter can't have taken more than five seconds but it felt like five years as the turd hit the ground the spell was broken. Time started again. The man tried to stand up straight, pulling up his monkey jeans whilst mumbling at me,
Starting point is 01:04:12 sorry, oh, man, oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh, the shame. He might not have been Geordie, I don't know. Oh, God, what are you doing? Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I don't know. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh, hey, sorry about that, love.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Sorry, sorry. Sorry about that. In the same way that if you do that thing when you walk towards someone and they go left and you go right and he's at the same way. Oh, sorry, sorry. Sorry you just had to see us knocking out a chod
Starting point is 01:04:43 in the middle of the public. See, I think he said it really upset. Yeah. I think he's crying going, sorry, you just had to see us knocking out a chod in the middle of the public. See, I think he said it really upset. Yeah. I think he's crying going, sorry. I'm so sorry, man. I'm sorry, but if you get, what, an 80 quid fine for urinating in public? If you're caught shitting in public, you should be put in jail for a day. What, have you really?
Starting point is 01:05:00 Anyway, let's carry on. No, let's not carry on for a second. Let's just think he should be in prison. Come on. I don't think it's a prisonable offence. We're not going to agree on this. I don't think it is. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:05:14 I'd rather do it in my pants and just go home. Right. Well, good luck. What have we become? Thanks for asking. Thanks for asking. Thanks for asking Put that in me record of achievement This is not what I thought my life would be
Starting point is 01:05:34 I don't know why I said that I wish I hadn't said that Right I shielded my eyes and walked past Whilst amongst yelling it's okay It's okay It's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay stranger yo crap away while realizing that i couldn't say anything that he could wipe his bum with
Starting point is 01:05:53 i was scarred for life that day in recounting this story to other people i learned that i am not the only person to have count to have encountered this man squatting on the path. I have now affectionately dubbed him as the serial shitter of this place. Sorry, so it's the same guy? Yeah, probably. People keep seeing him. What the hell's the matter with him? He's just must get his kicks out of dumping in the street.
Starting point is 01:06:17 That is... And apologising. He didn't even pick it up. If you do it that often, take a poo bag with your sunshine, have some in your pocket. Dog owners have to do it. Someone has stood in that, someone out there,
Starting point is 01:06:27 possibly just like this, probably not, has stood in that and went, bloody dogs, and it wasn't even a dog. And it was him. It was a stinking, horrible, dirty man. Human turd. Horrendous. Horrendous. What, again, I'll close the show with me catchphrase,
