This Friday, you must be very careful, Margaret. It's a girl.
Witness the birth of evil.
It's all for you, no don't.
The First Omen.
I believe the girl is to be the mother.
Mother of what?
Is the most terrifying.
Six, six, six. It's the mark of the devil.
Movie of the year.
It's not real. It's not real. It's not real.
Who said that?
The First Omen. In theaters Friday. Get tickets now.
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
Jimeno in conversation. Together
they dissect the mesmerizing layers of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, followed by a complete soul-stirring
rendition of the famously unnerving piece, Symphony Exploder, April 5th at Roy Thompson Hall.

Hello, you're listening to Shag, My Redenoed with me, Rosie Ramsey, and my lover.
He's still my lover, Chris Ramsey.
I hope people have heard the old episodes.
Otherwise, that's just creepy and weird.
What? You are my lover.
Stop saying it.
My lover from another mother.
That's horrible.
Does that work?
Lover from another?
Yeah, that kind of does.
Well, it was brother from another mother.
So you are my lover from another mother. but that implies that your normal lovers should be from the same
mother that implies that your your basic setting is your default setting is incest but you've went
the other way that's what that implies this is the intro and you're talking about incest well
why we are never getting any more awards for this podcast. You technically talked about incest first.
That wasn't me.
You did it.
You implied with that little saying
that you cobbled together there,
just because it rhymed.
There we go.
That's what you did.
Can we please carry on?
Yes, we can.
It is episode 63.
Thank you all so much for listening, as always.
You absolute beauts.
And it is time, without further ado,
for this week's lucrative, lucrative, lucrative
lockdown sponsor.
Are these ever going to end?
Do you want money to end?
Do you not
like lucrativity?
I don't know.
Do you not like lucrative stuff?
I love lucrative. Are you kidding me?
Love lucrative. This makes
nada. Shut up. Nothing. Stop it.
Great.
Lies. Just crack on.
Just the quick I'd get over it.
This week's lucrative, lucrative lockdown sponsor is jeans.
Yeah.
Hey, remember jeans?
No.
Remember putting them on?
Eh?
Oh, hey.
Oh, look at them.
Oh, haven't got them out of the cupboard for a while.
Oh, nice pair of jeans.
Even though it's lockdown, pull a little pair of jeans on. Oh, I don't like the feel of them. Oh, they're restrictive. Oh, why am got them out of the cupboard for a while. Oh, nice pair of jeans. Even though it's lockdown, pull a little pair of jeans on.
Oh, I don't like the feel of them.
Oh, they're restrictive.
Oh, why am I wearing them?
Did I wear these all the time?
Oh, joggers back on.
I don't miss jeans.
Well, hey, very cleverly.
You've done the slogan there.
Hey, jeans.
I don't miss them.
I bet there's a lot less thrush going on.
Is that a thing? Do you get thrush off jeans? Well, it just depends. If it's a lot less thrush going on.
Is that a thing?
Do you get thrush off jeans? Well, it just depends if it's a bit hot and sweaty.
I used to get thrush quite...
Okay.
I think you've just got a dirty fanny.
Play the jingle. It's got nothing to do
with dirt. We'll talk about this after.
Okay. Next we sponsor a dirty fanny.
Next week's answer. So in the intro we have hit incest
and dirty fannies welcome to shag mario denoite here's the jingle
we had a fight about the jingle we couldn't settle on a jingle
so this is the jingle, jingle, we hope you like the jingle, jingle, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah, jingle!
And welcome back to our podcast, which gives me nightly anxiety, thinking about all of the weeks where I've talked about fannies, especially my own.
Great.
Do you not do, you don't do that, you say,
I lie a week.
I don't normally talk about my fanny, no.
I keep it to meself.
No, I lie, now that we are on a lot of million of downloads,
millions of downloads, wrote a book, et cetera, et cetera.
A lot of million.
No, I just, sometimes I think,
oh, remember when I said that on the podcast
that I didn't think would do very well.
Rosie, I get sent tweets and stuff of things I've said
and people reference stuff and I just think,
I can't remember saying that.
Half the stuff, because I don't listen.
So to let you behind the curtain, dear listener,
we do quite a lot.
We record a little bit more than what you hear.
Not loads, but a little bit more.
And some stuff gets left out and some stuff gets left in.
I don't listen to it back
because I'm an arsehole.
I don't listen to it back.
I never watch me stand up.
I don't proofread anything I've done.
Rosie listens to it back
and I don't know what's gone out each week.
I have no idea what's gone out.
Again, I've told you this before, Rosie.
You are so professional.
My main thing for this
is to make you laugh.
If I've made you laugh, I go, well, that was good,
and then I'll move on with my life.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm very busy.
I've got a beard to cultivate.
I've got a bike to ride.
You've got rid of the beard.
What's happened?
What happened?
Who said something?
No one said it.
Oh, Jason Manford.
What did he say?
Jason Manford.
I'm calling you out, Jason.
I don't know if you're listening now.
I was going to say no one said anything, but he did.
He basically did that thing that
comedians can do which is he picked out the insecurity that i was already worried about
okay and he shone a spotlight on it right so jason asked what to do a video for a friend of his
a birthday message thing so i just did one i just whatsapped him it um and then he sent
fucking prick he sent back a photo of uh harry from har Harry and the Hendersons and he went
me and our lass love the fact that
your beard's grown just downwards
like Harry and the Hendersons and I did find that it was
I just thought the beard was really thick
under my chin and I saw the picture
and I was like bastard so I shaved it off
yeah but I liked your beard and I have to have sex
with you not Jason Manford not as far as
I know anyway well I'm still trying he hasn't you know
he hasn't he hasn't took the bait yet look I'm still trying he hasn't you know he hasn't
he hasn't took the bait yet
look I'm just trying
look he just
he sent the photo
he said he didn't like the beard
so I've fixed it
I'll send him another video
hopefully you know
but would you grow it back for me
because I did genuinely
really like it
I will
there was just
you know I pick it
you know I pick
I pick beard hairs
it's like my thing
oh it's very horrible
yeah it was getting silly now
I am
so I was sitting watching
the telly that night
and I was pulling them out and I was just sort of dropping them on the floor and
at one point i looked over yeah sorry and i looked over and on the floor i could actually see them on
there was like a little clump of them i was like this needs to stop so right so it just looks like
there's loads of little ginger pubes everywhere uh one it wasn't ginger nothing against ginger
people but it's just factually inaccurate your beard does come in with a little strawberry blonde
tinge a little tiny tinge it does well i hoover them up anyway is your problem but i'll tell you
the time that um i uh did a gig where was it i think it was in barking i remember gigs
um there was all these people in the crowd watching uh closer than two meters i was raging
even though it was five years ago and uh there was a light behind me head i didn't realize it
and i got loads of tweets afterwards saying i didn't realize you were so ginger in real life
you don't look ginger on telly and i was like what the fuck and someone sent us a photo and
there was a light an orange backlight on the stage behind me head and it was hitting me here
and i swear to god i looked like it was ed sheeran color it was so red and i was like oh
the whole room it was like an optical illusion
the whole room
were like
oh yeah yeah
didn't know you were
ginger in real life
full life ginger
yes I think
some guy tweeted
saying
have you not died
had you not died
your hair this week
or something
and I was like
oh and it looked
it was ridiculous
honestly
cool story bro
oh god
holy shit
we've just started
and you're telling
the shit
oh sorry
should we talk about
your smelly fanny again
go on then
take it away
more interesting
than that story
not gonna lie
sorry not smelly
dirty
dirty
both
we haven't talked
about lockdown yet
we haven't
are you getting used
to being imprisoned
in the house
yeah
weirdly
well we've had to move
to a set
we're in a different
room today
if the podcast
sounds to the sound engineers out there if it sounds slightly different um we're in a different
room yeah now why is that do you want to tell the world why we've had to move rooms why i can't
physically stand in our sitting room for longer than 10 minutes you tell them come on there is
more lego currently on the floor than I've ever seen anywhere in my life.
It's madness.
It's like a Lego workshop in there.
It's not an easy toy to tidy away at the end of the day, Chris.
No, yeah, it's not.
Lots of bits.
I love...
Well, it's kind of its selling point.
You done that Lego yet?
I came out in one bit. Piece of of piss stop taking the mic or i'll call
it legos again oh god don't all right um yeah so we've got them out for robin and he just he just
keeps getting them out um and taking bits apart and it's just the whole floor is covered and i
love lego but i get a bit of anxiety and every now and then he goes danny can you build it and
he picks something off ages ago that he wants us to build. And the bits are all used on different things.
I was running around like a blue-ass fly this morning.
An hour it took us to do five pages of one booklet.
Honestly, don't care.
A lot of people keep sending us pictures of apparently you can get this tent-looking thing
that you lay out on the floor.
And at the end of the day, you just kind of, you have a, what's it called, man?
Like a pulley on a jump, what they call it?
A toggle.
Like a drawstring.
Yeah.
And you pull it and it all just goes into this bag together.
But that would be a great idea.
Right.
If you didn't colour code all the flipping bits and put them in them boxes all together.
Well, you know what I mean?
Colour coding systems actually fell apart at the moment.
Has it?
Yeah, I need to go.
Are you alright?
No, no.
Do you want a cuddle?
It's not good.
There's more white pieces
outside of the white piece box
than there is inside the white piece box at the moment.
He's loving the police Lego at the minute.
And that's predominantly white and blue.
And blue, white and blue. See, you know. Look at you.
Oh, I know. I see it every bastard day.
I'm sick of looking at it.
And I've stood on it, I don't even know how many times.
It doesn't hurt as much as I remember. Can I just say that it I don't even know how many times it doesn't hurt
as much as I remember
can I just say that
it doesn't does it
do you know what's worse
standing on a plug
well that's the worst
thing in the world
isn't it
much much much worse
standing on a Lego
is fine
I could walk
you know when people
walk with their hot coals
I could do it with a Lego
no problem at all
I could run
do you think it's
because we've got
harder skin on the bottom
of our feet
than when you were a kid
I think I've evolved it yeah I think something in my body knew that there's gonna
be lego all over for me entire life and i've just evolved like really hard like plates on the bottom
of my feet like a fucking armadillo's back oh yeah oh chris silence that unprofessional
i tell you what how long have you been doing this 63 weeks 63 weeks how are we still together
how are we still got stuff to talk about?
I say we've still got stuff to talk about.
Two things I said today.
You said cool story, bro, and don't care.
So that was nice.
I've got stuff to talk about.
Okay, then.
I've got a couple.
I write things in my notes, you know, of stuff that we don't talk about.
Okay, I'll save you.
I'll save you.
Don't care.
Put your phone down.
Don't care.
Well, I've got a couple of things to talk about.
Ooh, fire away.
Just, we have
started watching breaking bad again yes very good don't tell us what happens it's the third time
you're watching it which i find i find that i don't respect you as much as a person because
you can watch something three times i've seen the soprano six that's shocking yeah that's bad right
well that's why I aced me round
on Celebrity Mastermind of Sopranos.
Yeah, you did actually.
Yeah, I did ace it massively.
The only one I got wrong was the one that the bloody...
I got two wrong.
They said, what's the code for...
What are they called?
Boxes of Ziti is what they called the money
that they had laundering.
They were saying how many boxes of Ziti you got.
I forgot that, which is fair enough.
And then they actually got a thing wrong.
And I'll take this up with the BBC.
I'm never paying my license fee again because of this i'm lying i have since they uh they said um
what was tony soprano's job when he was in like spoiler alert when he was in a coma and i said he
was a salesperson and they said oh no he was a rep i was like same thing very annoying that is a bit
annoying actually i remember when you did that we weren't married we didn't have robin and i
remember being dead impressed but i think if you did it now
I'd be like
oh I married a loser
can you not remember
you were sitting next to
my manager
who was also a massive
Sopranos fan
and on that one
I can't remember
I might have worded it
differently there
but on the one
the rep
the coma question
didn't my manager
stand up and like
run going to find someone
because he was like
that's inaccurate
because he's like
a massive Sopranos fan.
Losers!
You did come last?
I came third.
Out of how many?
Four.
Yeah, great.
So there we go.
Have you been asked since to do it again?
No.
And annoyingly, Jason Cooke won when he went on.
That was irritating.
What did he?
Yeah, he won.
What was his specialist subject? Jason Cooke. No, I on that was irritating what did he yeah he won what was his specialist subject
Jason Cooke
no I'm joking
it was Billy Connolly
wow
you know what my specialist
do you know what my specialist subject
should have been
sorry to interrupt there
do you know what my specialist subject
should have been
I think we can all agree
all podcast listeners
my specialist subject
on Celebrity Monster Man
should have been
The Life and Times of Carl Hutchinson
and Jason Cooke
all in one
because we've been
I've only got two friends
we've been doing this for ten minutes
and you've already
mentioned one of them
so now you've mentioned
the other.
Hey.
Oh my word.
Yes.
Why don't you just
leave me
and marry them?
Oh I should do you know
because when I finish
a story with them
they don't say
cool story bro
because they're not dicks.
Great.
So back to the fact
that we're watching
Breaking Bad
and it reminded me
of something
because obviously
this is called Shagmarinoid
we are a married couple, people, you know
blahdy blah together, I thought
someone might resonate with this. Have you ever thought about writing a new
blurb for the podcast?
It's called Shagmarinoid, we are a married couple, blahdy blah
blah, fuck yourselves
You really
didn't put the effort into that
Hey, am I pissed
I don't know
again
probably
on our wedding pictures
oh god
right
why didn't I pick
I've changed a lot you know
you know how you say
you think
when you
how old were we when we got married
12
no
how old were we ever got married for god's sake i don't know like 25 or 27 or 26
or something how long ago was it i think we were 20 i can't even be asked to pause this and work
it out i don't care i think we were 27 26 or 27 okay i think we were 27 26 because we're both
we got married on the 25th of July,
and then our birthdays are in August, so we were 26.
26, right?
We were 26.
Or 27.
Would you shut up?
Anyway, it was a while ago,
and on our wedding pictures,
in that bungalow that we used to live in,
the one, what did you call it uh the one
story glory glory um you had pictures from breaking bad of jesse and walter white yeah in the living
room yeah it was a bit of a bachelor pad i didn't have much say in it because it we i hadn't really
got me fingers into it yet and all that right i think you know fingers i think you're really
looking for his claws i hadn't got me close fully into it yet and all that, right? I think you're really looking for his claws.
I hadn't got my claws fully into it.
It was very manly.
I hated it.
Anyway, on a lot of my wedding pictures...
Sorry, did you just say it was very manly?
Thank you so much.
Like, not in a good way, just in a rank way.
Yeah.
In my pictures, Jesse Pinkman is in my getting ready pictures.
Oh, the ones in the house
where you're getting ready
yeah
Jesse's in there
Jesse is fully blown
I am there
in my lovely wedding dress
my friends are like
zhuzhing the back
and I'm looking over my shoulder
all sexy in that
alright
and Jesse Pinkman's
stupid meth face
is in the back
of me wedding pictures
meth face
I think you'll find by that point in the series he was no longer getting high in his own supply Of me wedding pictures. Meth face!
I think you'll find by that point in the series
he was no longer getting high
in his own supply.
Right, great.
Well, ex-meth face.
Well, if anything,
that just makes the picture
sexier for me.
No, it's horrible.
Why didn't we take
the pictures off the wall?
Because they're amazing pictures.
For a wedding day.
Because it's one of the best
TV shows ever made.
I know, and I agree.
You've been immortalised.
You should be proud
time stamps it as well
you go oh mammy daddy
that was one of the best TV shows ever made
that was on at the time
that's some original artwork that your daddy got done
it's not cool
and I'm more annoyed at myself for not moving it
to be honest
so anyway
I should have been a beef
but it's a very backdated but it's a very lot it's
a very backdated beef very specific backdated beef it just made me it just reminded of this
now that we're watching breaking bad i was like oh yeah remember when he was in our wedding
oh bloody wish you could have brought some of these bloody dos hombres fucking tequila or
whatever the hell they've just made well i can't remember we're only on episode 24 no man in real life

That's not even a
I don't know
God good lord
Babadoo babadoo babadoo
Speaking of wine
Speaking of wine
Something I was thinking about yesterday,
last night,
whilst having a glass of wine.
Yeah.
Do you remember, as a kid,
when you first started drinking,
I don't know if you did this,
but this might be a female thing,
not to be sexist,
you know, men drink wine,
I'm not trying to be that,
but the usual entry drink
is more so for women.
Of entry, right, entry level.
Yeah.
Really?
A woman's entry? Really? wine. Right, entry level. Really? A woman's...
Really?
Your first...
Your entry level...
So it wasn't Alcopops,
it was wine?
No, no, sorry,
it was Alcopops,
but all I'm saying is
when I got to about 16, 17,
I was hanging around
with older people.
Right.
And that...
I don't mean that in a cool way.
I used to be part of
an amateur dramatics group.
That's better.
That is better than the one i just
made up in my head what do you mean so in my head i was just about to go to a tirade about how you
your your underage drinking was sitting at your nana's house having a wine with a coffee evening
girls it's actually even sadder than that it was all the old ladies at amdram no there weren't
no it was south shield gilbert and and Sullivan, but they were all a lot
older than me.
Yeah.
And we used to go
to the pub
after rehearsals and stuff.
Okay.
So me and Lauren,
my friend,
and Angela and Steph
as well,
we met Angela and Steph.
Great.
We would go
and like have a wine,
but I really didn't
like it at first.
Right.
And I had to force myself
to like wine.
Yeah.
Because I thought,
and I didn't want to rock up with like a Reef or a WKD or whatever. Ah, because you didn't like it at first. Right. And I had to force myself to like wine. Yeah. Because I thought, and I didn't want to rock up
with like a Reef or a WKD
or whatever.
No, because you didn't want
to look uncool
in front of the
amateur dramatics ladies.
Imagine that.
God forbid.
But getting back to my point.
Not only did she forget a line,
she's drinking a Blue Wicked.
No, they were all
quite well to do
really
well yeah
South Shields
Amateur Dramatics Club
were well to do
yeah they were
I find that very hard
to believe
they were
they still are
I know a lot of them
still now
I've met them
and I'm gonna say no
well right okay
well 16, 17 year old me
thought they were
posh as out
right
okay
they all drove nice cars
they all had good jobs
right so to me they were posh as out right okay they all drove nice cars they all had good jobs right
so to me they were posh as out right anyway back to me point whilst i was downing a bottle of wine
last night i thought to myself e do you remember when i had to force myself to like this and now
i love it i feel the same about beer sometimes i'll drink a certain beer and i go nah i'm just
i'm just drinking this for the feeling i get from it but then last night i was drink a certain beer and i go nah i'm just i'm just drinking this for the feeling
i get from it but then last night i was drinking a certain beer and i was like this every mouthful
i wanted to sing i wanted to scream from the rooftops it was oh yeah you you did chris every
mouthful it was um infuriating i am hard work to live with you're horrible i'm glad that you
recognize it oh no i'm so glad that you recognize it. Oh, no, I am. I'm so glad that you recognise it.
I know we're not on the beef section, and this might get taken out.
This beef section is coming closer and closer to the beginning.
Every week now. I think that's what lockdown's doing.
Because we're stuck together.
You did a section of beefs before the beefs last week.
I nearly mentioned something there, but I'll keep an eye out for next week.
Just to back reference on a beef
that I did a long time ago, actually.
We were probably talking last year.
Wow.
Remember when I said that you love to micromanage
when I'm telling Robin off?
Yeah.
You're doing it now,
and you're doing it worse than you used to do.
Okay.
So pack that shit in,
or you can move out.
I'm going to tell you right now,
he listens to me more at the minute.
He does.
Well, no.
He does.
Well, do you know what then?
You tell him off.
Why?
Well, I do.
I try and step in and tell him off
because you just,
I'm honestly,
I'm the favourite.
I'm currently the favourite, right?
Let's be honest here.
I'm currently the favourite.
Big style.
And he will,
when you're all going like,
go and brush your teeth.
I go, go and brush your teeth for your mum.
And he runs through.
No, Chris, take this back.
We are going to fall out.
He salutes as well.
He stands straight
and he puts his little hand on it.
Pack it in.
Pack it in.
It's awful.
It's horrific.
Right, okay.
So Robin will go, can I have an ice cream?
And I'll go, you're not having an ice cream yet.
You can have one after your tea.
Can I have an ice cream?
You come over from my shoulder going, you're not having an ice cream.
And I'm like, do you want to tell him off or should I tell him off?
I told you, man.
He doesn't need two people to tell.
I'm getting irate, Chris. We've done this. I've told you this. I'm like, do you want to tell him off or should I tell him off? I told you, man. He doesn't need two people to tell. I'm getting irate, Chris.
We've done this.
I've told you this.
I'm not your little rap and hype man.
I just echo the last few words of your sentence.
But don't.
Either you do it or I do it.
We both don't need to do it.
You're on stage.
You go, what's up, New York City?
And I'm going, New York City.
And I do the last few lines.
Ice cream after dinner.
You'll have your ice cream after dinner.
Oh, yeah.
Can I get it?
When I say after, you say dinner.
After.
Dinner.
Nah, you didn't though.
I hit myself.
So found out something interesting this week,
which I told you about.
Yes.
I was listening to the Louis Theroux podcast.
He's just done a new podcast.
Stop advertising people's podcasts. Oh, mate, it's top of the charts.
No, it's gone now.
It's been deleted.
You can't hear it anymore.
Just listen to old ones of this.
Listen, it's Louis, man.
I'll save you.
Shh, no, it's not on anymore.
I love Louis.
No, he's average.
Average podcaster.
Wow.
Average.
What?
I love him.
Anyway.
Come on, man.
On his first one that he's done,
he's interviewing John Ronson.
Yeah.
Who wrote The Psychopath Test,
who is a...
What?
How did he just...
Journalist, isn't he?
He's like a Gonzo journalist.
Is he a journalist?
Yeah, but he's one of them journalists,
like a Louis Theroux journalist,
who like gets stuck in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like goes and lives with them and that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Balls of steel.
Balls of steel.
Firstly, absolutely fantastic episode.
Listen to it if you get a chance.
Not available anymore.
Again, just listen to the old Shagmode and Oiz ones.
Secondly.
Tell a friend.
Tell an enemy.
Can I speak?
I'm giddy today.
I know you are.
Would you reel it in and calm down?
Sorry.
Okay.
I think it's because we're in a new room.
Should we start again?
No.
So they were talking about the current situation
of lockdown, etc.
You...
What? I'm quiet now. What do you want?
You've gone from one extreme
to the other. You can still
speak. Okay. Jesus.
Hey, tell you what.
Fucking hell. Fucking Goldilocks are here.
Listen.
So,
they were talking about the current situation of lockdown.
Yeah.
And they were saying that apparently people who suffer from anxiety
are coping with this a lot better than people who don't.
Yeah.
And that has actually been really apparent in our household.
Yeah.
Because you are a bit of an anxious beaver.
Well, I sort of spoke to people about this
and I've had like, you know, like therapy and stuff.
And I do this thing called catastrophizing.
Yeah.
Now, I don't know if anyone listening has the same kind of thing.
I will assume the worst in any situation ever.
So if our son walks out into the garden with an ice lolly in his mouth,
in my head, he's gone face first onto the floor and that ice lolly in his mouth in my head he's gone face first onto
the floor and that ice lolly has gone through the back of his head like something of final
destination that is basically that it kind of that way of thinking is awful in real life and
it's exhausting in my head it's an exhausting thing to have but it kind of weirdly has prepared
us for this situation because in my head i've been
prepared for a massive pandemic and a lockdown since i was about 15 because like genuinely every
time my phone rings i expect it to be something bad every time i was telling this the other day
me and you had an argument rosie the other day because you never in the world you shouted my
name from somewhere in the house and you shout you go chris and i'm like what what and you're like what you're shouting i have for and in my head
every time you shout it's something or that's like someone breaking in or there's like loads
of bees on you like i don't know why there'd be two things but it's it's really every time
your phone rings everything like every time someone shouts it's something terrible that's
the difference with us, though,
because you can shout at me, no lie.
I've ignored you before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you will, yeah.
It's ridiculous.
At the moment, you've got, again,
I don't want to bring the beef section forward,
but at the moment, every single week and second of the day,
you've got your iPad on,
you've got your little AirPod things in,
and you're watching some Housewives of whatever the fuck.
No matter what you're doing,
and me and Robin are just cracking on,
and you're just in another little world listening, can't even have a conversation with you i can't
even shout to show you what i've built on me lego maybe you've got your headphones in take it as a
hint to leave me the hell alone but honestly every phone call that i get um i just assume the worst
thing's gonna happen it's kind of like the have you ever phoned an
older relative my my sub-undie mom does it's not as bad anymore because the phone tells her who
she's gonna ring but when i used to phone my mom and dad's house before she had call her id on her
phone she'd pick the phone up and every answer was like hello like it was a murderer phoning
with a ransom do you know what i mean yeah that That's every time I say anyone's name on my phone,
I'm like, what bad news am I going to get here?
It's a man with a...
So you feel...
Because you're coping with this whole situation
so much better than I am.
Yeah.
And I am so laid back that I'm often horizontal.
Yeah.
It's just so strange.
I thought that you would be up a height,
really not handling it well.
And we're like the opposite.
Do you think it's because you've been preparing for it?
Well, it's because I'm always worried
about something terrible happening
and now the terrible thing's happening.
So I'm like, okay.
So all I've got to do is,
it's kind of streamlined me entire life.
I haven't got a shitload of things going on.
I've got Robin.
We've got this once a week
we've just finished the book
hallelujah
yes
available on Amazon
available on Amazon
and Waterstones
and W. Smith's
and all that stuff
yeah
it's kind of just
I know I've got to get up
I need to know
it's weird
I need to know
what I'm having for me
tea each night
so I've got something
to look forward to
spaghetti bolognese tonight
with garlic bread
got to pop out
and get that shortly can't wait and yeah it's just kind of give us less thing it's
took a lot of things off my plate now there's just one big massive terrifying thing on my plate other
than you know 10 000 potential terrifying things so it's really weirdly streamlined my life well
maybe it's because i quite like having things to worry about. And I thrive on the whole,
see, you hate it, but I quite like it.
I like being busy.
I like being like,
ooh, where am I going?
What am I doing?
Blah, blah, blah.
And now that there's just nothing,
I am...
Yeah, you're not enjoying it at all.
I'm not enjoying it at all.
And I am such a touchy-feely person
that the whole, you're not.
You're loving, you're absolutely loving,
and you're a lovely guy
but you are not a huggy touchy i am i will when people are leaving our house if people are standing
up and saying all the goodbyes to leave our house i will sometimes remove myself from the situation
because i can't be about to shake everyone's hands and hug everyone yeah this is really awkward yeah
i just go bye guys i'm sorry i need to go to the toilet and i'll just go and sit in the toilet and
i'll not be doing anything i'll just be sitting there waiting till they've gone oh well that's
i'm glad they all know that now.
It's great for me.
Yeah, if you ever come to my house, go fuck yourself.
Stay away.
This will probably stay in place for a long time.
Well, I've often said shaking hands is mad.
When strangers go and they stick their hand out,
I go, where's that been?
I've said hello to you.
Up their arse, probably.
I've said hello...
Judging by some of the emails we get,
probably definitely exclusively up their arse.
I know.
Yeah.
I'm also... A weird thing for me,
I don't know if I've mentioned this on the podcast before,
if I get, I did a routine about it before,
if I get a missed call from a withheld number
and I can't ring them back,
me entire day is ruined.
Me entire day is ruined until they call back.
And if they haven't left a message,
I can't, I have to answer it.
It's just not a way to live, Chris.
It's mad, isn't it?
And I've also,
have I talked about this as well?
Where if someone says...
Oh, come on, let's get them anxieties out.
Come on, lay them on the table.
It's if someone says...
See what I'm living with, guys.
I'm sure I've said it before.
It's if someone says to me,
at work or something,
or you've done it before,
if they go,
we have to have a chat later on.
I'm like, well,
we're having the chat now
or I'm going to scream until you tell us what it is.
Oh, I hate it when you do that.
I hate it when you do that.
And it's where someone will say something as well
and you'll go, what?
Doesn't matter.
No, it matters.
I need to know exactly what it was that you said.
See, I could live quite happily the rest of my life.
Never finding out.
Ah, nah, nah.
I'm just really good in that situation I used to do as a kid
when me brother or sister would go
well you're never getting this
and I'd go well alright
I'd be desperate
I'd be desperate
to know but I'm good at doing that
I'm like right okay great
don't need to know
where's you
when I was a kid
the kids would go I'm not your friend anymore.
Yeah.
You know, and if Robin ever says it, I mean, I've heard some kids have said it.
Your nephews have said it a couple of times when they're younger.
They go, I'm not your friend.
And obviously as an adult, they go, well, I'm not your friend.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
As a kid, when a child would go to me, I'm not your friend.
I'd be like, please.
He said he's not my friend.
And they'd be sitting there going, that is the exact reaction I wanted. Oh, it was so easy to wind up as a kid i i would have
had your life oh kids at school did when i got a new pencil case or stationary oh the whole class
was in uproar they were buzzing because all i had to do was take it off and pretend to draw on it
and i'm screaming so you were bullied at school no me, well they were my mates, you know, I used to lend them dinner money and that, you know, every day.
Oh don't be!
No, they were good though, they were lads, you know, like, you know, they used to rip me underpants for us every day and stuff.
Oh yeah, that friendly gesture that kids do.
Yeah, you know, whenever I got new shoes, you know, I'd spit on them and stab them and stuff.
Oh great, aye, great.
I'd help them out, you know, like they'd practice their boxing on us and stuff.
Oh nice, nice, that's kind.
Yeah, good lads,ads good good bunch of lads
still see them now
no no
most of them in prison
oh
yeah good lads

you don't deserve her
see you later.
Oh, is that the line ending?
Well, I have to be honest,
I'm glad you just did that noise yourself
and didn't get it up on your laptop.
I love that you've invented a character
who's in love with you,
who keeps telling us I don't deserve you.
That's very narcissistic.
Honestly, no idea what you're talking about.
But he hid that pregnancy well.
The whole thing doesn't make sense,
and it's going to give us a nosebleed if I try and think about it too much.
I think it's best if we all just move on.
Yes.
I think he's lost his mind.
Okay.
Poo-ah, poo-ah, poo-ah.
Fucking hell.
At the minute as well, you know what I mean?
Last thing you need.
Jesus.
What's wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?
Trying to get a job on Corrie.
I'm hoping one of the execs listens.
Right.
What's your beef?
My beef with you this week.
It's weird because we're spending so much time together now.
The kind of, I don't know, the beefs are almost like sort of sometimes parallel in each other
and then sort of bouncing paralleling each other and then
sort of bouncing back off each other and almost parodying each other, if you will. Because I did
have a beef a few weeks ago that you just can't make a cup of tea and you just haven't even
bothered your ass to learn how I want a cup of tea. Your new thing is, this is just driving us
mad at the minute, your new thing is offering me a cup of coffee or tea going christian
a cup of tea or a cup of coffee i go yeah go on i'll have a cup of coffee you go i know bother
and then you just don't do it right is it on purpose i'm busy you fucking don't offer us one
then and i forget it's madness you literally offer us one and then i go yeah yeah great and then like
half an hour later i'll go ros, Rosie, what happened to that?
And you go, oh, right, I'll make it.
As if I've just randomly asked for one.
Right.
Do you realise that I've got stuff to do at the minute?
Right.
And I'll go in and I'll make you a cup of tea.
I'll put the tea bag in.
I'll put the water in.
And then you told me to leave that tea bag to steep for ages.
I forget that it's steeping. Right. Okay okay you've covered one of the things there sorry yeah but that's only in the
cups sometimes you just don't do it the coffee you just don't do it can i hand on heart tell you it's
not deliberate i just sometimes as long as it's not delivered no no i go into the kitchen and i
end up doing something else do you know the other day you were like christy want a cup of coffee and
i went yeah please and you went all right And I saw you wander off in the other direction
and I literally stood up,
made me one coffee,
sat down and drank it
and you didn't mention it again.
And I'm telling you,
you looked at us at one point
and I thought, look at her,
thinking I'm drinking the coffee she made us.
Honestly, I expected it to go,
is the coffee all right?
Yeah, it's fine.
Is it not nice that I'm asking though?
No.
Do you not think?
It's fucking torture.
It's the least helpful thing.
All you're doing is reminding us that I want one
and then not giving us it.
I've got a mini beef.
Come on, then.
Right now.
At the minute, I feel like I own a cafe
that I don't get paid for.
Right.
Because I am making three square meals a day for you
greedy little gannets right yes and i'm sick all i'm doing is washing pots and pans right three
times a day yeah we this has made me realize that we as a family used to eat out a lot before this
because i swear to god i am emptying and filling that dishwasher you said last night that the
dishwasher was filled really good you know why know why? Because I've mastered that.
I have to say,
I have to say,
bringing up an old beef,
that dishwasher,
I opened that dishwasher
last night
and I looked at it
and I went,
when the fuck
did I stack this?
And I went,
have you,
it was perfect.
Thank you.
Hey, high five.
Thank you.
I'm going to do a little bow.
Yeah.
Absolutely unnecessary.
Dead, just dead air.
Just dead air.
Pointless.
But she stood up and did it. Likeless. Butcher stood up and did it.
Like, anyone listening,
just stood up and did it.
They'll have a visual.
They've got a visual.
They might know what I look like.
You never know.
Yeah, no, I'm asking.
Stop it.
That's all I can do right now.
It's horrible.
Stop doing it.
All right then, I won't.
I won't.
I would honestly rather you just did, yeah.
Great.
You might as well,
you know what you might as well do?
Instead of going,
Chris, do you want a cup of tea?
And they're not meeting it. You might as well go, Chris, you want a cup of tea and they're not meeting it you might as well go chris
make yourself a cup of tea all right love will do that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard
oh and what's your beef my beef is that um you don't like mint sauce
every time i put mint sauce on a meal, you either huff and puff like, I hate the smell of this, or you move and eat your dinner somewhere else.
Yeah, I have to physically move.
Like I've got leprosy.
It's the worst.
I love, if I had to choose between you or mint sauce.
Well, this isn't nice.
I would choose mint sauce.
Well, that's awful.
I've been known to eat mint sauce with a spoon.
Fuck, no way
I could do it now
that's minging
right so you know
just so you all
know exactly what we're
talking about
we're talking about
that stuff you put on
lamb
it's like a watery
not just on lamb
well no evidently not
you'd put it on
fucking cereal if you
could
it's like the mint
jelly is it
I do prefer mint
jelly but sometimes
god
we've only got mint
sauce at the minute
nah I used to
when I worked at
the stadium of light my worst fucking thing was having to take all them I took the horse jelly but sometimes god we've only got mint sauce at the minute nah i used to when i worked at the
stadium of light my worst fucking thing was having to take all them i took the horseradish the mint
sauce there was another one apple sauce maybe i had to take them all out on a little platter oh
jesus and once i don't know how i did it it was one of the worst days of my life i had what was
that did i have a chip or a bit there was a bit of potato left over or whatever and I assumed it was mayonnaise and it was horseradish
and I nearly vomited everywhere.
Horrendous.
The smell of mint sauce.
I'd go and sit at the other side of the kitchen
when you're eating it.
So you ate a full block of horseradish
that you thought was a chip?
I dipped.
No, no.
No, no, no.
It was a potato.
It was a roast potato, I think.
And I dipped it in what I thought was mayonnaise
and it was horseradish.
I was like, this is the worst thing I've ever had.
That's spicy.
It was the worst thing.
See, mint sauce would have been nice.
No, it's not.
It's disgusting.
It's like someone is stealing taste from your mouth.
What's that thing you smell?
Like smelling sods where you smell it
and it takes your breath away.
Mint sauce is a taste version of that.
Take my breath away.
That's what I sing when I eat it.
It's horrendous.
It's honestly, it's like mixing the best way i
describe what mint sauce tastes like it's like mixing grass and a bit of soil with some toothpaste
it tastes no i'm sorry that would taste disgusting this is beautiful well listen i like i said i
don't want to have to say it again but i will choose mint sauce over you any day of the week

Hi, Rosie and Chris.
I was listening to the episode where Rosie asked if men still dry their arse with a hair dryer.
Great.
Sounds like a good episode, that.
Can't remember saying it, but carry on.
Great.
What content?
What good content
what is our life i honestly don't know i love it oh yeah i wouldn't change it for the world
my ex-husband used to dry his whole body with a hair dryer and then complained he had really dry
skin he was that stupid he didn't realize it would be because of the hairdryer. The smell of burning skin was horrendous.
Jesus, how hot did he have it on?
I don't know.
That was what I was thinking,
because there's been a couple of times,
in the winter usually,
when I've been getting ready,
if I'm going out on a night time,
and I've got out of the shower,
I'll give myself a little dryer with a hairdryer.
Just shoulders and that.
All right, yeah.
Warm myself up.
To warm myself up more than anything.
Yeah.
But I've never never burnt
I mean yeah
he's
that's
what's he doing
don't know
that's madness
he's got it on a high setting
oh goodness
maybe his hair dryer's broke
maybe
who knows
yeah
did I ever tell you
I had a friend
who used to
dry naturally
sorry what
a friend who insisted
on drying naturally
so didn't use a towel
he had a towel
but he would just lie on the towel and dry naturally right if you are in a hurry to go
somewhere it took forever you've never told me this i am ridiculously intrigued you need to tell
me who do i know this person uh no i used to look around when i was younger but all the rest of them
used to take the pit so if we're going to like the shops i remember shops if we're going like
the metro center on newcastle or something like that or younger, if it was like, all right,
hold on lads,
sorry I'm running late,
I just need to get a shower,
you fuck,
we would all go in his bedroom,
we'd all put the PlayStation on
and we'd sit there for ages
because you knew.
And what would he be doing?
Lying on the towel,
drying?
So he had two bedrooms.
So he had the bedroom
that he slept in
and then a bedroom
that was like,
he's like chill out room.
They had a massive house.
Right.
And he would dry naturally.
He wouldn't,
he didn't like dry himself
with a towel,
he would just sit and dry naturally
would he sit down
why do I see him lying on the floor
and his towel just drying
he'd put the towel on the bed and just lie on the towel
and just dry naturally
I hadn't noticed that it was a thing
until one of the lads was roasting him one time
and I'd take the piss out of him
and he's like
and you're fucking lying there for four minutes
because you don't want to dry naturally you weirdo
and I was like
oh my god he does
Chris
how have you never told me that
yeah
maniac
absolute maniac
yeah
he had
I mean
he had
a really
I'm surprised he hasn't emailed the podcast
lovely lad
you know loved him
knocked around with him
for a lot of my life
he had a really
horrible
way
of
I don't know what it was but he
would go for a poo and then he would come out and he would just dry naturally no
i squat over the toilet and dry naturally uh he would give you the ins and outs he would
like you would always sit down and go yeah i've just had a shit right and it was like
like soft and i'd be like why is this happening and he would just talk you through
then I tell you
he was also the lad who
he used to cut his pizza
with scissors
what
yeah
some people do do that
some people do
the first time I saw him
I couldn't believe it
so it was like
the kind of scissors
you would cut the fat off
bacon with
and it was a thin and crispy
like Iceland pizza or whatever
and he took it out
and I just watched him
cut it with scissors
and he was like
talking away
and I was going
oh yeah the other day right and I was at college and i just was like staring i was
like what you doing it's much easier it is quite it does make it a bit easier still very weird

Like Eddie Murphy At the beginning of fucking
Coming to America.
Yeah, honestly.
Honestly.
And then probably what he used to do
is put on yesterday's clothes.
Have his little,
have his royal wash
and then put on yesterday's gear.
Three towels.
So funny.
Should have seen how much toilet roll he used to use.
Yeah, I used to be the same.
Yeah, me mum.
I used to blow the toilet all the time.
I bet you used to like wrap it around your hands loads
and have a little wipe and there was no there.
Well, if it was just on the roll holder thing,
I would just give it a big...
Honestly, so many of them.
I used to get bollocked all the time.
Yeah, Robin's like that.
He's like that at the minute.
He wants to wipe his own bum.
And it's just...
I'm letting him, obviously. It's like a disaster, isn't it? But it's up his back and I'm's like that at the minute. He wants to wipe his own bum. And it's just... I'm letting him, obviously.
It's like a disaster.
But it's like, oh, he's barking.
I'm just like, oh my God.
Crazy, yeah.
He's got to learn it before when he goes to school.
I'm really worried about that.
You're going to have to take the reins on that.
Because my answer would be climbing the shower.
That's the easiest way to do it.
Well, he can't do that at school, can he?
Yeah, of course not.
She would just tell him to dip his bum in the water tray.
That's the worst.
What, like, squeeze the right tit?
Lift the lid up, the seat protector,
and squat yourself right down like you're a contortionist.
Yeah.
And just, no.
No, not of the toilet.
I mean of the nursery.
There's a water tray.
Well, they play with water, don't they?
Oh, God.
Is that what you meant?
Yes.
Oh, God.
Miss, the hose is blocked.
Oh.
I won't be telling them to do that.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.
Hi, Rosie and Chris.
I'm not capable of doing an office poll right now
because, you know, lockdown and all that shite.
But I have conducted a poll I think you guys might like.
Okay.
The other night after a barbecue in our own garden,
just me and my husband.
Don't worry, love. Jesus, all right, garden, just me and my husband, don't worry,
no one is shopping here.
We're not grassing you up,
fucking hell.
Everyone's terrified.
I know.
Safe space,
safe space.
Obviously,
if you're having a gathering,
you know,
I wouldn't shop you,
but I'd possibly
be disappointed in you.
Yeah.
If you're next to me
having a barbecue,
I'll not be grassing you up
because I'm not that guy, but I will will be you'll hear a lot of tutting coming
over the fence from me right yeah right here we go um after the barbecue he had his first bath
in five years what i'm guessing he had other forms of washing just out of bath and I was horrified when I saw him
stand up and ruin all the bubbles
to wash himself
this is it
this is going to make you think
keep listening
I messaged a few of my mates
only for them all to say
they stand up in the bath
so they can get their bits
I simply tilt my hips and therefore keep the pretty bubble arrangement.
I'd like to know, do you both stand in the bath also?
Please tell me I'm not alone.
And that's from Sam.
Right.
Right.
Right.
So she says that she stays under the water and has the bubbles on top
and doesn't get up because she thinks she'll spoil the bubble arrangement.
I think so.
So she just tilts her hips,
and I'm guessing she kind of just lifts her bum out of the water
to give it a quick little zhuzh, zhuzh, zhuzh.
Or lifts it within the water and gives it a zhuzh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I stand up.
Do you know what?
I don't know whether to say this.
Right.
I don't really wash myself in the bath.
Great.
Absolutely great.
Just fester.
Just let it...
Rosie, you're not having a bath.
You're having a steep.
No, right, because I have a shower every morning.
We've discussed this.
I had a bath last night.
I'm not going to have a wash today.
I'm not that kind of person.
So my bath is just more for relaxation
than actual hygienic reasons.
Yeah, but I mean, while you're there.
Well, I do a little bit.
I do my armpits, but I don't really do down below
because I'm in the water, which has got loads of like,
I put bath lotion in, so I don't...
Jesus Christ.
Is this going to come and bite me?
Is this going to come back to bite us?
I think it already has.
You mentioned right at the beginning that you get thrush every five minutes.
This is probably why.
It's got nothing to do with that.
Tell them all now that I don't have a smelly fairy.
Tell everyone now.
Yeah, okay.
Say it, please.
Say it.
Yeah, you don't, you don't, you don't.
Jesus Christ.
It's not like I was forced into that.
No, but I...
Put the gun away. Put the gun away. But it's not like I was forced into that no I'm but I put the gun away
put the gun away
but it's like
your feet in the shower
do you wash your feet
in the shower every day
I know what you mean
I do
but I know what you mean
oh but you're so
oh yeah
guys
if you ever watch
Chris in the shower
you'd want to vomit
on him
let me just tell you
through
let me just walk through
Chris's routine in the shower
alright but well first of all he has about a 20 minute poo before his shower gotta be done great Let me just tell you through, let me just walk through Chris's routine in the shower.
All right.
Well, first of all, he has about a 20-minute poo before he showers.
Got to be done.
Great.
And then he gets in the shower.
Yeah.
He gets himself all wet.
Yeah.
Then he turns the shower off.
Yeah.
Lavas up a little scrubber.
Yeah.
Gets himself all over.
Head to toe.
Scrubbity scrub scrub.
Head to toe.
Head to toe, like he's about to go into surgery.
Right?
Everywhere.
Not an inch missed.
Okay.
Then he'll turn the shower back on, rinse it all off.
Then he'll turn the shower back off.
He'll do his hair.
Then he'll turn the shower back on, rinse that off, turn it off again.
Stick a bit of conditioner on there, turn it on again.
And then what he'll do do if you really look,
you might catch this,
you'll squat and you'll stick the shower head
up his back, not up his backside.
You've got to get that undercarriage.
You've got to get that undercarriage.
You're horrible at watching the shower.
You know what's amazing, Rosie?
What you've just described there is washing oneself
like it was some kind of alien fucking autopsy or ritual from
the past it you're crazy and i'll tell you one thing you missed out this is me genius right
i wash my hair i don't turn the shower off and i wash my hair i'll just lean back and let the
shower sort of still hit us i wash my hair then i put the conditioner on put the conditioner on
then i do the shower gel with the conditioner in so I leave it in for a couple minutes
while I'm doing
the face washing
sorry I didn't know
the order
I didn't know
the order apologies
well now you do
great
yeah
squeaky
so fresh
and so clean
I just
I miss loads of bits
I should probably
put like
margarine on us
yeah
and see if it comes off
see which bits I'm missing
oh god can't remember the last time you washed me back.
I didn't.
I can wash me back. I can get
every inch of me back. I've got really short arms.
Yeah, you do. You've got a massive back.
Why is that offensive?
That's weird, isn't it?
Back's massive, mate.
Sure not. Leave me back alone leave me back hi chris and rosie love the podcast and listen from the start oh wow love that this is not a
shit story read into that as you may cool during this time of covid19 lockdown my partner and i have
had to rearrange things we had booked one of these was a date night which involved a still
life drawing class what are we so are we boring no i think it's the opposite i'm sorry i really
hate to tie them with the same brush but if you've got to go and do your still life boring
classes and that you can't just sit and have a conversation or get pissed together,
fucking hell, what's the point?
Well, we'll keep going.
Still life drawing class.
So to reenact this, we decided to take advantage of Pornhub's premium content
being freely available.
We got our paper and pencils out and found some graphic thumbnails to sketch.
What?
In order to decide whose was the best finished product,
we decided to send
pictures into a couple
of friends'
WhatsApp groups
to have a poll.
Jesus.
I actually quite love it.
Yeah, but sorry,
can I just,
what did they think
the still life drawing?
Did they think it was
going to be two people
fucking each other?
What do you mean?
It was just someone
standing with a knob out.
It's not like,
what they're doing
on Pornhub premium content?
Just the thumbnails.
I'm not sure.
They could have just googled naked model or page three or men's health.
The guy standing with these abs.
They didn't need cotton bollocks and penetration.
It might not be a man.
This is from a lesbian couple.
Yeah.
So they might have...
Yeah, but what I'm saying is...
It might be a massive vagina.
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, It might be a massive vagina. Yeah, but what I'm saying is,
when they eventually go to the life drawing class,
it's going to be a bit fucking vanilla,
considering they've been practising on Pornhub's premium content.
Christ on a bike.
Do you know what I'm saying?
They're going to be gutted.
How am I, love? Fucking spread them.
Get out. Get out.
Hang on. There's more.
There's more.
So they've sent it to their friend's WhatsApp to get to see what they think.
I hope they didn't warn them.
I hope it just came in.
Can you imagine?
However, due to our haste, I accidentally sent it into a work group.
Fantastic.
A company we both work for.
Brilliant.
It is needless to say, they now think this is a genuine hobby.
We are not looking forward to heading back to the office to explain ourselves.
Anyway, we still haven't found out the winner,
so I've attached the final products for your judgment.
Oh, yes.
Oh, no.
I didn't see them.
You didn't see them.
Hang on.
I'm going to...
Right.
Right. I found't see them. You didn't see them. Hang on. I'm going to... Right. Right.
I found them here.
Great.
Look.
So, they have chose a thumbnail of a lady with a...
That's massive.
In her hand.
It's not hers.
Right.
They drew them.
Right.
They've got it on their telly.
That's the worst bit for me here.
So, guys... It's massive. What they've done it on their telly that's the worst bit for me here so guys
what they've done is right they've they've got the the the they've somehow linked their computer
to their tv so the picture we're looking at now is off someone's phone the two a4 drones are on
the bottom uh one on the left a lot better than one on the right and on the telly is porn hub so
they've got that is the grimmest thing I've ever seen.
Someone linking Pornhub to their main fucking telly on their wall.
Can we just go back to what you said, though?
They are going to be gutted when that class starts again.
Because it's going to be nowhere near that.
It'll probably be an eight-year-old woman stood with her nightly off.
Yeah, sorry.
So the picture is, without getting too graphic here,
the picture is some lass w getting too um uh graphic here um the picture is uh some
lass wanking off a massive erect cock yeah i think i did that quite well that was good that was nice
pg uh see sandra i'll be happy that's how i do it on the one show um
um yeah so it that's what the picture is yeah they're going to be good it's just going to be
someone you're right it's going to be someone taking a nightie off
and maybe leaning on
like a step ladder
and they're going to be like
oh come on
but I'm really good
at drawing erect knobs
I'm really good
at doing the knuckle
around the knob
oh Chris
listen lasses
I'm just glad
that you're finding
ways to entertain yourselves
during lockdown
I really really hope
that they sent that picture in with the must-have.
They didn't just send...
So that photo they've sent to us, that's what they sent to the WhatsApp group.
So it's got the actual Pornhub picture in as well.
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
Go, girls.
Hi, Chris and Rosie.
Whilst being stuck in lockdown and going a little bit stir-crazy,
I was reminded of a story my boyfriend told me that happened on one of his lads' holidays.
It's a long one, but it's the most bizarre story you'll hear today.
Okay, test, here we go.
They were all in Budapest and on a night out.
One of the boys, who was a bit of a liability,
had had way too much to drink.
Brackets will call him Joe.
I hope his name's Joe.
That's not...
Sorry, Dave.
It's not a massively thought of
place to go for a lads holiday. Budapest.
Is it? Is it not one of them
places where everyone goes,
12 pence a pint?
Possibly. Am I being an idiot here?
I've just never thought of it as
no, I've never thought of it as a lads holiday destination.
Well, it was that thing, wasn't it, where kind of
fashionably, the sort of going to the pool,
kind of going to the beach holiday,
kind of died out and became a bit uncool
and everyone went to Prague and places like that
and just ran around and got hammered in cities.
Yeah.
My worst nightmare.
It's my worst nightmare.
Anyway, Joe had too much to drink,
liability, we all know the lad,
fell over and badly hurt himself.
He was unable to move, let alone get up off the floor.
He was in a lot of pain.
The boys sensibly covered him with some coats.
That's not a holiday if you've all got coats.
Why have you all got coats?
That's not a holiday.
Yeah, so it's not hot.
Bollocks.
They covered him with coats and they called an ambulance.
Joe was making a lot of fuss and he was convinced that he was paralysed.
That sounds like a nightmare.
Oh, no.
The paramedics wouldn't let the boys in the ambulance with joe they had to follow behind in a taxi once the boys got to the hospital
they were all told that they couldn't come in as they were too drunk and they were sent back to the
apartment with no information the next day when returning to the hospital to find joe nobody in
the hospital knew who they were talking about they had had no english boy come in and they had no
idea what
was going on. Brackets there was limited English as well to add to the confusion of the issue.
The boys started to panic and decided to show Joe's picture to the staff instead.
One nurse recognised him but told the boys that he was not English he was French and that he had
been transferred to a different hospital. What? The boys got back in the taxi and went to this next hospital,
which was a psychiatric hospital.
They tried the same tactic here
and eventually someone was able to locate Joe,
who appeared wearing clogs, suit trousers and a t-shirt
and was walking oddly but otherwise relatively unharmed.
I'm so confused by this story.
It turns out that in Joe's drunken state,
he had decided that upon arrival at the hospital,
he should pretend to be French,
and give himself the name Jean-Claude,
so as not to get in trouble with the police.
Three question marks, which I agree with.
He had then proceeded to babble in French.
Joe does not speak French. and then he wet himself during
his mri brackets he actually fractured his lumbar spine like the bottom of your back
this had led to the hospital staff to believe that he was mentally unstable and he'd been
transferred to the psychiatric hospital where he had spent the night he had spent the night
restrained to a bed in a room with three others one of whom
screamed non-stop for the entire night and the other who continuously played ping pong with his
mouth all night oh no that with your tongue um he had sobered up very quickly and did not sleep
all night there is no satisfying end to the story only that he didn't die and he spied spine healed
fine how did all that happen in like isn't that amazing so he got to the hospital pretended he
was but he was hammered and obviously i mean he's obviously a prick uh but decided to pretend he was
french babbled in french and the transfer didn't work so i mean it sounds like something i might do
serves him right possibly
I mean you'd shit yourself
can you imagine
if you just
put on an act
and then all of a sudden
they're like
right
wheel him off
god
exactly
oh
and the question is
what age is too old
to be going on
lads holidays
ooh
thanks
please keep me anonymous
sorry
this is really good age ranges
22 to 24 and we've been together her and her boyfriend 13 months because i know you like some
context context oh that is i like that actually so what age is too old for lads holiday see right i
think there's brackets here yeah i think there's young yeah when you're like 18 to 30, let's say.
And then I think there's a little gap.
And then I think you can go again when you're a bit older.
Because usually the 30, it's like kids, marriage, blah, blah, blah.
Like this is just, you know.
This is your idea.
My idea of what it is.
And then once you have the kids.
But then again, stag do's are mental now
because like you and your mates now are older
and you have kids and stuff
and you go a bit crazy on stag do's.
But then I think there is a bit when you get older,
like I plan.
Yeah.
One thing,
I'm really looking forward to being like 50.
What the fuck is wrong with you
who says that
no
really looking forward to being 50
51 I'll be devastated
well let's see hang on how old's Robin
okay no 50 I'll be 50
when he's like
oh here we go
I don't know anyway
I'm looking forward to going on girls holidays when my
children are grown up and i can just get shit faced not have to worry about bringing anyone
to check on anyone or anything like that i'm gonna go mental so that's what i'm looking for
that is the maddest weirdest thing that is one you can't call it girls holiday when you're 50
i won't allow that oh i will and you know what I'll be like? I'll be like, Chris, come drop off on my girls' holiday
and we'll be in the little minibus singing songs
and you'll be there and I'll be like,
get the drinks, journey juice, journey juice.
Why am I driving a minibus in this song?
You're driving, we're in the minibus to the airport.
Why am I suddenly, I'm 50 and I've got a fucking minibus.
What's happened?
You're giving out the cock rings.
Cock ring.
Cock straws.
Oh, brilliant.
At the door.
We're all very excited.
We've all had our tans done.
Awful.
It's going to be mental.
I don't think,
I think you can go on a lad's holiday
or a girl's holiday indeed.
Anytime.
I think you never do.
I love a stag do
of mixed holiday,
of mixed ages and a hen do as well of mixed ages. I think you're never too... I love a stag do of mixed holiday, of mixed ages
and a hen do as well
of mixed ages.
I think everyone
brings something to the table.
I think you can go
at any age at all.
Your dad still has not
stopped talking about
my stag do.
Oh my, I know.
How much he loved it.
Oh, I know.
Here's a little one.
Hi, Chris and Rosie.
I seem to have had
many tragic encounters
with the opposite sex,
but according to my friends,
this is one of their favourites.
I was on my way home from a night out
and decided to message the boy I had been speaking to
and to see if he was still up and if I could stay at his.
For future context, this all happened at around 3am.
Oh, the old drunken booty call on the way home.
Oh, booty call.
I didn't pull tonight, so you have won the consolation prize.
Awake your family up.
He said it was fine, so I hopped in a cab and went to his.
However, as I was quite drunk and it was dark,
I couldn't remember which house was his.
Great.
I stood in his road and told him to come outside
and when I saw him I began to walk towards the house.
As I got to his front drive,
a car stopped next to me and the window rolled down.
A woman was driving and asked me if I was okay.
I was a bit confused so I was like,
yeah, you?
She replied, yes, I'm fine.
Can I get onto my drive please in this
moment I felt like sprinting in the opposite direction but it was too late I
had to style it out me and this boy's mum proceeded to walk down his front drive together to greet him
while he was standing there looking like he was about to throw up.
I then had to stand on his doorstep and have an in-depth conversation with this woman
about how I knew her son, brackets, not very well might I add.
She seemed satisfied with the utter bullshit that I left my mouth,
shook my hand
and invited me in.
At three in the morning.
Yeah.
That's good.
Really lovely to meet you.
Glad we had this chat.
Now do you want to come in
and fuck me son?
Good.
Oh, Chris.
Ew.
I think that's hilarious.
I love that you let her in though.
That's nice.
Oh,
we've got all this to come. I know, but to come I know but she couldn't have sent her home
do you know what I mean
I wouldn't
where'd the man been
she must have been out on the piss as well
she was driving
she might have been coming home from night shift or something
what's your thoughts
bearing in mind that we have a child
which one day
will be older
yeah
what are you going to do
when he's got a girlfriend
or boyfriend
or whatever
and they come and stay over
are you going to be strict
with separate rooms
or are you going to
let them
in the same room
I'm just going to go
don't let us fucking hear you
I'm going to have
I've already thought about this
I'm going to have a conversation
with him when he's a bit older
you know when I think
he might be sort of
at the age of exploring stuff and watching a bit of porn I'm just going to go don't've already thought about this, I'm going to have a conversation with him when he's a bit older. You know, when I think he might be sort of at the age of exploring stuff and watching it upon that.
I'm just going to go, don't let me or your mum catch you.
Yeah, we could put a lock on his door, I wouldn't mind that.
Yeah, I'm just going to go, don't let us catch you, Wank.
Please, I don't want that in me life.
No.
Don't ever let us catch you.
Don't let your mum catch you.
Oh, God, no.
And when people come round, just be quiet.
Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it?
Yeah.
See, I think if you are really strict as a parent
and you go, not under my roof,
in separate bedrooms, in spare room and all that shit,
I think that your child will go out and be worse.
Yeah, you send them the other way.
Yeah.
Someone will end up bloody drawing them on Pornhub
while they've got a massive knob in their hand.
Well, exactly.
Growing up, my mum and dad
were always quite lax.
I think my mum
was very much of the, I would rather you were
just in my house
so I knew where you were and what was
going on type thing.
So I think I would be like that.
Yeah. I mean,
I'd have still probably
sent that lass home if she was like,
yeah, you all right?
Yeah, you?
I'd be like, well, you're not fucking coming in.
Ring your taxi, you cheeky bitch.
Drop me off.
You've got three minutes, guys.
Drop me off in a field.
Oh, no, you wouldn't.
Eh, bless her.
Ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo, ba.
Options for the next question.
Wonderful.
Sex, crisps or nails?
Nails.
Okay.
Just because we've got previous.
Right.
Dear Rosie and Chris,
like so many of your followers,
I've been meaning to write in for a while,
but now that we're living in a dick storm
with only toilet paper and Tiger Kings for comfort, I felt it was time to write in for a while but now that we're living in a dick storm with only toilet
paper and tiger kings for comfort i felt it was time to email in dick storms great i do like a
dick storm sounds like a weatherman it sounds like a porn name you'd give a weatherman coming
from the west we have the dick storm dick storm of the century hi i'm dick storm or like a porn
name yeah that's what i mean yeah that's good yeah what like your porn name? Yeah, that's what I mean. Oh, Dick, that's good. What would be your porn name?
Oh, I don't know.
You've got to do that stupid thing
where you've got to pick your first pet's name.
But my first pet was a hamster called Henrietta.
So I always sound weird.
That would be a bit sad.
I think it's the name of the first place you lived
and your pet's first name.
So mine would be Henrietta Mitchell.
Well, that's not true.
I would have that.
Yeah?
I have listened to your podcast since the beginning
and as weird and creepy as it sounds,
you and Chris often remind me of me and my husband.
Bollocks.
We are original.
You're full of it.
Don't be nasty.
Now, I have so many things I could tell you about.
The time I met my mother-in-law
and she asked me whether I, quote,
practice anal sex
don't you dare tell me
she's just written that as a little thing
yeah no no I'm setting the tone for this email
this email is grim as shit
so she's not going into detail about that thing
no no she's just said
the time my husband woke me up in the night
to come and see the unusual log shape
of his midnight poo
yes he poos in the night to come and see the unusual log shape of his midnight poo. Yes, he poos in the night.
He woke up!
Oh, that's ridiculous.
How he used to hide pepperoni
under my pillow when we first started
dating so he could snack in the night
whilst I was sleeping. All the time
I was so annoyed at him during an argument
and he was being such a
see you next Tuesdayuesday oh god this is
grim right that i pulled out my pubes tampon that had been in for at least five hours and threw it
at him no way there is no way that's not chris this isn't even who was this person we need to report this
person you know what's awful i wasn't going to read that out but i forgot to delete it so she
so so we are gonna we are getting a story that is none of these things that she's just
glossed over yeah yeah yeah are you ready no i'm not ready i need to discuss the last bit
so i once had an argument and she was so angry at him she pulled out a tampon
and threw at him
that's the worst thing
I have ever heard
that is chemical warfare
yeah Chris
it depends
what you say is worse
but the big bulk
if you'd let me carry on
I will get to the
the big bulk
of the story
I'm sorry
I couldn't have the listeners
thinking
oh he just
he just accepted that
well
he got his revenge
now I know by this point
Chris is probably saying
we deserve to be in prison
and we're minging
talk the words right
out of my mouth
we are
and many of our friends
often quote that
we are so perfect
for each other
because we are
equally disgusting
however
I think he is worse than me
and here is why
bear in mind
this is the woman who
threw a tambourine at us.
This is going to have to be good.
I am honestly
picking your cells for you right now
in prison. Time to bring
back Nail Stories to the podcast.
Guess who's back? Back again.
Nailie's back.
Tell a friend. She just wrote this.
Still here. Are you ready?
No.
My husband used to play semi-professional rugby when he was younger.
As a result, his feet are a disaster.
And can I just say as a caveat, rugby players are disgusting.
They drink each other's piss and all that.
They love a bit of that.
They're not bothered about bodily functions.
That's not all rugby players, by the way.
Now it is.
You're minging.
Oh, yeah.
His toes have been broken so many times that his nails actually grow sideways and are so thick that nail clippers just bounce off oh over the years he decided the only way around this is to cut his
toenails with a kitchen knife not on your life, mate. The first time
I saw him do it,
I lost my shit. Can I just
say, it's like he lives in opposite land from my
mate who cuts a pizza with scissors.
Bless him.
Okay.
First time I saw him do it, I lost my
shit. But there is more more i soon discovered that he liked
to keep his toenails in a small collection in his drawer as he sometimes would like to pull them out
and use them to scratch his teeth but that's what the toenail murderer used to do chris you can't
remember the toenail murderer can you yeah yeah the guy on the tube yeah yeah you used to use it as a flossing device yeah but why she said scratch his teeth
how can you scratch your teeth well i'm guessing by the sounds of them picking his plaque off his
teeth oh my god so he scrapes them against his teeth this is if you're cutting your toenails
with a kitchen knife you're not brushing your teeth actually i don't know if you hear it slightly
on the podcast but i'm like I'm like vigorously moving my arms
like a little bird
trying to flap to try and,
but can we just take a second
to visually,
how the fuck do you cut your toenails
with a kitchen knife?
How is that possible?
Oh, it's,
I don't know,
but there must be that bad
that he's having to
saw through them.
Oh, God.
Are you ready?
No.
I told him,
quite rightly,
that this was feral and he should throw them away.
But he genuinely got annoyed at me and so, in the spirit of compromise, I let it go.
I was playing the long game.
Some people just... Fast forward in our relationship, we're engaged.
relationship we're engaged uh i propose by the way she proposed oh god love have some self-respect i'm sure there's a lot of men out there who would love you to throw your used hammer at them
honestly I mean we've talked about this before
the people who just stay with people through thick and thin
but there's a level
so I proposed
just after he'd cut his nails
I thought oh that is a man
that I want to be with
for the rest of my life
okay
we're lying in bed one night
I'm drifting off and I feel a scratch on my cheek
No
I swat it away
Not really thinking about it
As I'm cosy and drifting off
But it comes back
Eventually I roll over
And find my fiancé pissing his pants laughing
Having pulled out the biggest brownest old toenail
And was scratching my face with it.
That is unacceptable.
I don't need to tell you my reaction.
Yeah.
She was raging, I'm guessing.
Unfortunately, this soon became a regular game of Nelly.
Nelly?
Which was very much a one-player game
that he reveled playing and I hated.
However much we beefed about it,
the nail would always reappear at some point during a night time
and wake me up with scratching.
No way, man.
Fast forward to our wedding.
I'm giving a speech because F the patriarchy.
Good for you.
Yes.
The time is ripe for revenge.
I proceed to tell
over 100 of our closest friends
and family
about the game of Nelly
and how it has haunted me
during our relationship.
Needless to say,
despite them all knowing
many gross stories
from him over the years,
and there is a lot of them,
no one could quite believe
that he would do this.
All those times
I had been scratched
by a monstrosity of a nail
became worth it when i saw his mum give him the stay of disappointment that only mums can do
and he had to hang his head in shame in front of everybody oh we've been married almost two years
now and thankfully all nails now go in the bin i gave him a set of super industrial nail clippers. Brilliant. However, I immortalised nearly for him.
Now, you can't see this, listener,
but she has sent a picture.
Oh, for f...
No, I can't.
In their house, there is a photo frame.
I can't look.
I don't even want to turn my head.
The nail is framed,
and it says underneath, nearly.
I haven't turned my head yet.
Have a look.
I'm still looking at you in the eyes.
Look at that big nail in the photo frame.
Oh, my God.
In their house.
Oh, my God.
That is massive.
That is madness.
That's disgusting.
That's in their house.
You're going to have to put that on Insta now.
Oh, it's in their bedroom.
Shut up.
This now hangs up in our bedroom we have had an email
here from the twits these people are the twits these are the grossest people where's the email
address i'm gonna i'm reporting that someone oh gosh horrendous yeah and can i just say he should
have stood up and said yeah well she wants to a tampon as i would have done that in the in the
wedding i'd have said she wants to pull out like a hand grenade
what do you think's worse
the tampon thing
by a mile
I do as well
but that's the both
disgusting
the both utterly
where did that tampon land
where did it land
I don't know
did it hit him
did it go on the floor
who cleaned it up
hope it hit the wall
splat everywhere
the both
you deserve each other
but you both deserve
to live in the sea
yeah animals hey they're well matched yeah and the sea you both deserve to live in the sea.
Yeah.
Animals.
Hey, they're well matched.
Yeah, and the sea would actually,
if they lived in the sea,
it would soften these toenails right up.
They'd come straight off,
probably with a butter knife.
Hey, well, there you go.
I would suggest for that,
maybe he's just having a really hot bath before you.
I always cut my nails after a bath.
I doubt these bathe.
Yeah, I doubt they've got a bath.
It's probably, to be fair,
it's probably filled with used tampons like that woman off the week before.
Whenever she's going to throw one,
I just stand in front of the bath
and it lands in there.
Horrors.
It's time for this week's celebrity question.
Celebrity question.
Yes, a special one this week.
We are joined by the stars of Apple TV Plus' Trying,
Reeve Spall and Esther Smith.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello there.
How are you?
Hi.
Thank you so much for joining us on this week's Shag My Monoid.
We are delighted to have you guys chatting with us.
Yeah, you're lucky.
We had so much on.
Yeah, exactly.
We've got so much on at the moment.
Sorry to interrupt your hectic schedule do you guys have a question for us our joint question is how did you know you were ready
to have kids oh that's a good that is a good one that's a good question we were ready to have kids
personally i knew because uh you told us i was ready yeah you told
us it was time yeah i was informed we got married and then i read somewhere that the next step was
to have children so i thought why not did you ever feel ready though did you you wanted kids from
from the get-go i've always wanted kids but you kind of i mean i don't want to say conned from
you but you did genuinely con me into it i'm gonna say conned youned. You conned me into it. Conned you into having a child.
That's nice.
I was very, very persuaded.
I'm all right now.
I'm on board.
He's all right.
How long after getting married did you have children?
Oh, mate.
We were really fast.
We were six months.
We were married for six months,
and then I got pregnant.
It was a bit accidental, to be honest.
Well, we were together for six months.
I proposed after six months.
We got married a year after that.
And then yeah,
pregnant six months after that.
Go hard or go home.
Are either of you guys married?
I'm not,
I'm not married.
No.
I am married and I have three children.
Three children.
What ages?
I don't,
I don't ask.
I'm not that involved really.
I let them get on with it.
They get, they get. They get sort of...
I have an audience with them every evening for half hour.
I'll be honest with you, right?
I'm going to break the fourth wall here.
We're going to do this on some kind of internet audio,
but we're doing it on a Zoom so we can see, Ray Finesta.
You're glowing, love. You're glowing.
I didn't want to say it at the beginning because it sounded creepy,
but I swear to God, it's like a L'Oreal advert or something going on.
You look amazing.
You look like Mother Nature.
I know, I feel that's summer baths,
summer luxuriating.
You're not married.
You're living without kids during lockdown.
Yes, well, yes.
Now let's talk to a man.
I know.
Who's got three kids.
I know.
Well, actually, in terms of my lockdown,
I'm actually doing this live from a Wetherspoons,
which is still open.
I'm having a...
Where is this?
It is absolutely down.
There will be a riot.
There'll be a riot.
It's full on, isn't it?
You know what it's like.
I mean, it's...
So your kid's what?
Six, five?
He's four.
Four.
That's a cute age.
I've got one of those as well.
They're nice.
Because they're sort of humans now aren't they we're going towards something um resembling a
human they yeah you can understand a bit of reason whereas for a long time they have they're full of
will with no reason right exactly so it's nice when you can get to the cornstone of parenting
which is bribery which is if you, if you just don't do that,
you'll get a biscuit.
This sounds so stupid to me though.
That's how I was with you
when we filmed the show,
wasn't it?
Yeah.
If you don't do that,
you'll get a biscuit.
Good as gold.
Good as gold.
Did you,
did you enjoy filming the show together?
Loved it.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it was our best time ever,
wasn't it?
Really loved it,
yeah.
It was,
yeah,
such a joy to be doing it.
Does it feel like, because that was literally this time last year, a joy to be doing it um does it feel like because
that was literally this time last year really we were doing that but it feels like a lifetime ago
now um well what's really strange um and i've never thought i'll never get a chance to do this
but um i auditioned for rave's part for the part of that ages ago ages and honestly right i i went i did the audition and i remember thinking i said to
the guy the writer was um he'd started stand-up in manchester years ago and i remember i read for
the part i read the different scenes and i i knew i knew i hadn't got it but i left and i thought i
really can't wait to watch that and then when we got told we were going to be doing this i was so
excited so i can't wait to see it so it looks amazing and it would have been a travesty if i'd got it instead of you dude it would have been an
absolute travesty yeah i'd have given up i just think that as a clear i just think that as a
clear sign that i needed to pursue another career podcast just quickly um so trying is all about you
guys as a couple trying to get pregnant together.
I love the bit, Esther, when you throw the guy's phone in the lake.
I think the reason I liked it the most, I have got a friend, a couple,
who tried, like you guys are in the show, for a baby for so long,
then they ended up having an IVF.
And the story she's told me, that situation is not far off how she
handled the situation as well so I was wondering do you guys know anyone who struggled to conceive
and did you kind of take that into the acting process of the show yeah it's funny isn't it
because I feel like it's something not not really spoken about people don't tend to but when you do start
talking about it then you do actually realize the amount of people that have actually gone
through those struggles yeah who are trying or have had miscarriages or you know all of those
kind of things and um I don't know whether I use those experiences to do this I think that you know
because it's very this is a very specific story very specific character I think every story every person's story is different and also the script was so
brilliantly written it kind of had everything there um just kind of followed that rule book
really I definitely knew people who struggle to conceive and you and you do bear it in mind when
you're going to doing something but I think even though this is a show which is about a couple trying to conceive,
I think even if you're watching this and you don't know what that's like,
I think we all get to a point in our early 30s when we feel like something's missing.
Now, that might be a kid.
It might be a career, job, following your dreams, whatever it is.
I think that's identifiable to everyone, really.
So even though adoption is potentially quite esoteric, job following your dreams whatever it is i think that's identifiable to everyone really so even
though adoption is it is potentially quite esoteric i think we all know what it's like
to feel like something's missing and to feel like we're trying as it were to get better trying to
improve trying to push things forward and i think that's really identifiable and it hits you all
of a sudden doesn't it after 30 it's like! There's even times when I look at our son
and I'm like,
oh, I'm really massively responsible
for you day to day.
Yeah, but you know what, though?
So for the last four years,
you just kept him alive, yeah?
Like, basically,
you keep him alive, yeah?
You stop him from dying, right?
But now,
which is even more terrifying,
you've got a responsibility
to turn out a good person.
Yeah, yeah.
I had a bit in one of my old stand-up shows
and it was, don't create a dickhead.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
That's the aim of the game.
Don't create a dickhead, yeah.
There's too many of them in the world already.
So much pressure.
Do you reckon like, if you were a dickhead,
how many times would you go, shit, am I a dickhead?
I don't think dickheads know.
I don't think they know.
I don't think full-time dickheads know.
That's scary though,
because then if none of us think we're dickheads,
does that mean we're dickheads?
I think the fact that you've asked that
means you're not a dickhead.
Yeah.
It's like Lord of the Rings.
You're the one who doesn't want it,
so you are the one that's worthy.
I'll take that.
I'll take that.
Yes. Thank you so much
