Hello and welcome back to this week's episode of Shagmarian Annoyed.
Rishi Sunak, that's his name.
That was his name.
And for everyone wanting to know, the guy on the phone was who is going to do our bathroom.
So mystery start.
So there we go.
That's all it was.
Bless him.
He sounded...
When people contact us when we're busy doing the podcast,
it's like they've literally walked onto stage
while there's an audience there.
Like they get really...
Like when your mom came in, we're doing the podcast.
She was like,
E, E, what's happening?
E, am I on?
And then he was like,
I was like, I'm doing the podcast.
Can I ring you back?
He was like,
Ah, yeah.
And he's like starting to shit in his pants.
You've got a question.
No one trusts us. I think they think we're just going to broadcast them to the wider
world, just no matter what.
I would.
Well, you know, getting a bit desperate.
Getting a bit thin on the ground, isn't it?
So other than the pregnancy that you whinge about constantly, how are you?
I mean, I'm absolutely great. i've got zero crack because i very much
realized that we we are doing nothing yeah in reality we have no social life we are still on
a local lockdown here in the northeast uh with no idea of when it's gonna end if it's ever gonna end
um we haven't seen our friends and we haven't seen our family for weeks. Rosie, I'm losing my mind.
So am I.
It's just you.
But do you know what?
I've just had...
Hold on, hold on.
Who's that?
Oh, sorry.
I forgot to do this week's lucrative sponsor.
No problem at all.
Oh, did you?
Think you get away with that, eh, Rosie?
Think you get the guy from the kitchen and bathroom place
to phone me during the interval,
during the intro, sorry,
to make me forget the sponsor?
You're joking, aren't you?
Got to pay them bills, eh?
Touch me pockets now. Me pockets feel lighter
because we didn't do the lucrative sponsor.
This week's sponsor is...
Is it a cold
or is it COVID?
What have you got? What have you got?
Is it a cold or is it COVID?
Is it cough or is it snot?
What have you got? Cold or COVID?
Honestly, we both feel a bit like shit.
Yeah.
Don't we? You feel bad, I feel bad.
Well, I've just got a bit of a sore throat
and I'm just a bit tired,
but I can't work out whether it's a cold, COVID or depression.
Oh yes, the third one.
Do you want to go box number three, the mystery box?
Deep dark depression.
So I'm currently in limbo of what it is,
but I don't have a temperature or enough of the COVID,
what they're called, symptoms.
I'll tell you what, that thermometer that we got from Tommy Tippy
when Robin was born, that's paid for itself.
I use that thermometer fucking four times a day.
Honestly.
You actually do?
Oh, constantly. Absolutely constantly use that thermometer i feel
like shit my nose is sort of a bit runny in that but i think it's just a cold but we'll find out
because i had the um the you've had a test the gag reflex nose probe man came today for me didn't
he yeah he knocked on the door bless him lovely lad uh he was welsh and he uh he came down the
drive and he came in with his little mask on did he come from Wales
to do your test?
he came all the way
from Wales
to do my Covid test
Rosie it's absolute madness
he came all the way
from Wales
drove up to do my
from Swansea
came all the way
from Swansea
to do my Covid test
and now as we speak
he's on his way
to London
with my Covid test
to take it down
with the lab
no way
it's like a full new
fucking industry
that's emerged
just getting private
Covid tests done
so you can do work
fingers crossed
that it's negative or I'll not be hosting Little Mix industry that's emerged just getting private covid tests done so you can do work fingers crossed that
it's uh negative or i'll not be hosting little mix this weekend i know what are you gonna do
it's terrifying it's actually really really it's really frightening because you could have it and
have no symptoms yeah so i might just get a call tomorrow saying annoyingly it's 48 hours so i'll

I'll already be in London. I don't even know if I'll
have to train back. I might have to walk back.
I might jump in his car.
If you do know, if you do get to London
and you find out that you have got it,
just stay there.
Because it's just
a pain. It's just a hassle. If you just stay
there, we'll be okay.
We'll be fine.

rwyf wedi gwneud llawer mwy o amser yn ymwneud â'r teulu. Yr ysgol, yn enwedig, Robin. in this whole shit show the only good thing for me has been I've spent a lot more time at home with me family
brackets mainly Robin
I take all of you
obviously
I've noticed a couple of things
about our little boy
yeah
he is not a kid
that you can allow to have
a late night
and then he'll lie
in the next morning
oh no no no no
unbelievable
no
unbelievable
I honestly
I think we could keep him up
until six in the morning and he'd could keep him up until six in the morning
and he'd still wake up
at half six in the morning
yeah
yeah
like he'd have half an hour's kick
he doesn't have
he doesn't have that thing of
oh I went to bed late last night
I'll sleep in later
nah
that doesn't
I don't know what kids do that
well all that happens with Robin is
you keep him up
you're like
oh I'll have a lie in tomorrow
he gets up at the same time
as he normally does
or earlier
and then you've just got
a bad tempered ratty kid all fucking day yeah and then he goes to bed at about the same time a dyma'r un peth. Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol. Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol. Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol.
Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol. Mae'n ddigon ddiddorol. drops to the floor. Right, well, this is not the actions of a non-tired little boy.
So you are tired.
I was in the swim pool the other day
and I was talking to a guy
who had a kid the same age as Robin
and he said that his kid sleeps
from seven o'clock at night
till nine o'clock in the morning every day.
See, you told me that.
How old is that kid?
Same age as Robin.
Right, okay.
I was so jealous.
Is he all right?
That's a lot of sleep.
He was absolutely fine.
The bloke said it was,
he went,
oh, he's record 16 hours.
Wow.
And I was like,
do you do that thing
where you wake up
and you panic
and you go through
and check on him
and see if he's all right?
He was like,
yeah, at first we did.
Now we just know
he just loves his kip.
I was fucking raging.
I was like,
is it acceptable
to splash a stranger?
In Robin's defense, he does sleep very well.
He sleeps like seven, twelve hours.
Yeah, so you can't complain.
You're being a bit harsh.
I know some kids who don't sleep at all.
Well, I know, but I don't want that.
I'm always striving for better.
Well, we're having another one, so let's see.
Maybe this next one's going to sleep all the time.
Might not sleep at all.
Oh, they're devastated.
Oh, God.
I know.
Nah. Just our luck. I, God. I know. Nah.
Just our luck.
I never understood.
I had friends.
What time did you get up on Christmas Day?
Did you used to get up with your family?
Well, we used to get up really early,
but my mum would never let us go downstairs
any earlier than half six.
Right.
Like, we weren't allowed.
We could wake up at four o'clock in the morning.
Me and my brother and sister would have to sit in our room
and my mum would be like,
don't you dare come in here
yeah she was really strict with that and I
get it we weren't allowed to go downstairs
before half six and then what would happen was
the next day the next couple of days I'd go
back to school and everyone would be like yeah we got
up at three and we got up at such and such
and I'd be like oh my mum literally
did not my mum yelled at us on
Christmas day to get back in
the room so like Merry day to get back in my room so like
merry christmas fucking get back in your room he's not been yet your shits get back in your room
it's like ruined christmas merry christmas i used to get i think mine was either seven or eight
o'clock i think it was seven i would wake up earlier but i would like watch a telly in my
bedroom on my own borders out and didn't have anything to open in my room.
Oh, honey.
Little lonely child.
I would sit and watch cartoons
and wait,
literally wait for the time.
But I never woke up really, really early.
But my mates across the road,
used to get up like three o'clock.
I know.
Well, who's letting them do that?
Yeah, their mums would be like,
either woke up at half two and went,
I'm like, you fucking crit, half two.
Yeah.
Robin slept in the past few years.
I don't think he really understands it just yet.
That's my point. He understands it this year. I think he's he really understands it just yet. That's the point.
He understands it this year.
I know.
I think he's going to be like, yeah.
Well, we'll have a battle from four o'clock in the morning
and go back to sleep.
And he'll just roll around and go back to sleep.
I might say six.
Six o'clock?
Yeah.
I'm not a gremlin, Sandra.
I'm not listening.
Six o'clock.
You can get up at six.
No earlier, though.
Another thing our son cannot get his head around,
I've noticed this.
Tomorrow.
Have we talked about this?
No, I don't think we have.
It's infuriating.
I can't explain.
Tomorrow when I wake up,
today when I wake up.
When am I doing this?
Tomorrow when you wake up.
Not today when I wake up.
You woke up today.
That was this morning,
you fucking prick.
That was this morning.
You woke up this morning. You've had today.
You'll go to bed tonight and tomorrow will be tomorrow.
And he's just like, no. So today
when I wake up, no tomorrow. Honestly.
No today. When I wake up today
right, you've woken up today already.
Tomorrow, yeah, it's, it's, I've
stopped trying to explain it. Stop trying to explain it.
Rosie, yesterday in the car you were trying to
explain to him what a weekend was.
Honestly, I nearly ploughed into a fucking wall to make it end.
It was painful.
Like, you know when you go to school, that's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
And the days you don't go to school, that's a Saturday and a Sunday.
And he went, is it today's Saturday?
And he went, no, today's Sunday.
And he went, tomorrow's Saturday.
And I think I just turned the music up.
I was like, put some music on.
Fuck me.
Jesus.
Oh, I know, but I'm trying to explain it.
Oh, he's back at school, man.
He's back at school.
Let them sort that out.
I haven't got the time, man.
I've got to admit, the today, tomorrow thing,
you were trying to explain that the other day,
and I had a light on me.
I went, yes, today, when you wake up.
The meaning tomorrow.
I can't explain tomorrow without saying the word tomorrow.
I can't explain it because he
goes he goes when i wake up today and i go no when you wake up tomorrow and he goes what's tomorrow
goes well today is today and then when you wake up tomorrow that's the next day and he's just
looking at us what you're talking about and i'm like i can't i can't get you i can't get a frame
of reference anyone know how to explain to a fucking kid what tomorrow the difference between
tomorrow and today please god tell us because honestly i'm going in circles yeah because you can't even
so i thought about showing him a calendar you could be putting him to bed tonight right and
he'll go so when i wake up it's tomorrow and you go yes and then he'd wake up he'd go it's
tomorrow and you go well not today yeah yeah Dad, you're moving the fucking goalposts, see, I like.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bam.
It's time for Rosie's mysteries.
Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries.
How you fix that, did you?
Well, I never knew that.
I pulled away from the phone when I said mysteries.
I pulled away from the phone when I said mistress.
I was going to get Robin to do it again, but he's at school.
Let's hope I don't close the school.
Because that would be shit.
Very good.
Full of mysteries.
I don't want to homeschool.
Kablam.
Great.
Absolutely. Hey.
Incredible phone technique there.
Sounded like an echo.
It was a lot better.
I took your advice and I did it and I made it better.
Very well done.
Hi, Rosie and Chris.
This question
comes from an experience I had when I was younger. I was on a trip to Germany and was
going through security at the airport. Every time I do this, my bag in person always gets
searched. Apparently I look shifty. My bag in person? I was waiting at the end of the
conveyor belt for my hand luggage to be searched
as it had set off the alarm
my feelings of awkwardness
at having to show off the sanitary products
in my inner bag, pocket
however were overshadowed
as I turned to look at the guy next to me
who was also having his bag searched
the man opened his
backpack slowly with care
to reveal
now the man opened his backpack slowly with care to reveal now what do you think so um i've got like
two things in my head either it's like something normal that's that he's actually well not normal
but something that he's packed that's you know like ridiculous and he's not allowed or it's like
a practical joke that someone's played on so it's like a dildo sellotape or water bottle.
I know that's one that people do to people.
Why?
It's like a stag do thing.
So because they'll stop, it's in your hand luggage.
And if you put like a big thing of water
in someone's hand luggage, it'll come up on the screen.
But the sellotape, like a vibrator,
they would sort of have to pick it out.
I've seen it on like Ladbible and stuff.
Funny.
Listen, listen, airports are a boring place. You've got to do what you can to have a couple it out. I've seen it on, like, Ladbible and stuff. Funny. Listen, listen,
airports are a boring place.
You've got to do what you can
to have a couple of laughs, right?
I mean, yeah, you're right.
It's in Germany,
if that helps.
No, not in the slightest.
That doesn't help at all.
A massive
bratwurst sausage.
Why is that the only thing we know what to do with Germany?
That's the only thing I went to.
Everything else I was going to say is really offensive.
Is it food?
Is it food of some kind?
The clock is ticking. You need to come up with an answer.
It is ticking, Chris.
This is only a very small feature of the podcast.
Was it some kind of weapon?
Was it a massive knife?
Was it a massive knife?
Is that what you're going with?
I'm going to go with massive knife.
So, the man opened his backpack slowly with care
to reveal an entire bag full of Cheerios and nothing else.
Fucking fantastic.
I don't think you saw that.
The words and nothing else are just great.
Just a full bag of Cheerios.
Wow.
Yeah.
Clearly the only entertainment on a flight he needed
was the sweet crunch of those tiny hoops.
So it was his hand luggage?
It was his hand luggage,
but it was a full backpack full of Cheerios.
Was he allowed?
Did he allow to take them on?
I think he did, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
It says the question here.
It says, what is the weirdest thing you have been caught carrying?
All the best to you and the Bairns.
And that's from Scarlet.
Thank you, Scarlet.
I can tell you that right now, actually.
Oh.
So when I was younger and I used to go on holiday with my mum and dad,
did you ever go on holiday and you went to like, you know,
you know how Spain
always had
we might have mentioned
this briefly before
but Spain and places like that
always had them
random shops
that sold
BB guns
replica guns
yes and you always
got to like that
knives
swords
lighters
and porn
pornographic playing cards
okay
that's kind of
what they sold
yeah
I remember every single day i went to
this shop and it was like a like a toy gun it was just a cap gun it was a toy gun it looked like um
kind of like i don't want to sound like a gun nerd but like a beretta like like what eddie
murphy would have in beverly hills cop like the kind of cool like just pulls it out he puts it
in his jeans kind of you know total gun safety out the window okay it was one of them a cap gun and i remember every day i went to shop my mom and dad on holiday i was like i want i want
that cap gun mom and dad were like we'll not be able to get it home on the plane we'll not be able
to get it home and i was like okay and then on the final day they weirdly like gave in like i think i
was gonna buy something else and my dad was like why don't we get this and i was like but you said
and he's like oh it'll be okay my dad in all his wisdom decided to put the gun and the caps in the fucking hand luggage in the
hand in the hat and i was like why are you sticking in this case and they decided that
um if it was stuck in the case they wouldn't they'd just keep the case and they'd lose all
their stuff so he's like we'll put it in my hand luggage i was like even i must have honestly
about seven and i was like are you fucking stupid and there was like a massive kerfuffle when they
searched through it and they got it out yeah and i still remember they got the gun out and they
were looking at the gun the guys were all looking at the gun and the spanish guy the the customs guy
he held up the caps and he said no available on the plane meaning you can't it and he meant you
couldn't and i'm steaming my mind's eye now going no available on the plane and i just thought
dad are you like what an idiot mean, option three would have been,
you can't have that, son.
Yeah.
Because we can't take a gun back.
Yeah, that was option one that they went back on.
But they just said, oh, you can't have the caps.
So you can have a replica gun on the plane, that's fine.
But make sure it doesn't make a bang,
because, you know, people are trying to sleep.
What year was this?
Oh, this was pre-everything.
Yeah, yeah, this was this was pre everything yeah yeah
this was fine
did you ever have
one of those guns
the little
potato shooters
yes
them were good
weren't they
yeah I did enjoy them
they were really
a spud gun
perfect way to waste
a potato
I know
perfect way to waste
a potato
total waste
because once you'd
gone round that
bad boy once
there was no
you could only go
one layer as well
yeah the inside
you could still
eat the inside
but I don't think anybody would want to.
Imagine a jack of potatoes
and let someone adore it.
It'd look like a fucking sponge.
Hello, can I please have a porous jack of potatoes
for my dinner, please?
Well, there's no jacket.
There's just tiny remnants of the jacket
and a five-year-old's been playing with it
for three hours.
Yeah, it's absolutely fine.
That's fine.
I'll have that, thanks.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.
It's time for What's Your Beef?
What's Your Beef? Beef. Beef. thanks. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah. It's time for What's Your Beef? What's Your Beef?

Just now and then.
Now and then you show your true colours.
We were in a different room of the house the other day,
not the room we're sitting in.
It may have been the orange room,
it may have been the front room,
I can't remember.
But you looked a little bit cold.
I was walking past, I had a blanket. I put the blanket on you in a lovely loving kind little moment i've just put the blanket on you
i'm the pregnant wife lying there i put the blanket on you and you looked at us and you went oh
you know sometimes you're not a massive cunt oh yes you genuinely said that it was as i put a
blanket on you yeah it's just unnecessary and a little bit hurtful just doesn't happen that often
great i mean i think you'll find'll find I put a blanket on you yesterday
when you were having your little afternoon nap.
Yeah.
Right?
So you can bollocks off.
I put a lot of blankets on you.
This ruins the gesture when you bring it up in the beefs.
What do you mean?
In a nasty way,
because you're ruining the whole gesture of the fact that you did it.
What is the point in doing something if I'm not going to get credit for it?
Wow.
That's how you live your life, isn't it?
Yeah. That's actually how you live your life.
Yeah, absolutely.
You're awful.
How about then, what's your beef?
My beef with you this week,
I was on Google this morning.
Yes.
The old search engine of the Tinder web.
Familiar with its work.
Robin would like some Sonic trainers for his birthday.
Yes.
And I think he made them up.
Yeah.
I think he just wants blue trainers.
Right.
But I thought, you know what?
I'm going to see if I can get any Sonic trainers.
Yeah.
Right.
I've had a little look online.
I've had a look online on the search engine of the whole of the internet.
Yeah.
And I can't find any in his size.
I found out that with Puma, I do some.
Right.
But they haven't got his size available.
Okay.
They've only got men's or baby's
that don't have the in-between kid size, right?
Okay.
You came back from dropping him off
from school this morning
and I said,
oh, I'm trying to find Robin some Sonic trainers
and I can't find them anyway.
To which you replied,
do you want me to have a look?
To which I replied,
well, I'm having a look
at the only place where you can really look,
but feel free to have a look yourself,
you patronising little arsehole.
You just will not accept help from anyone, will you?
No, because that pattern is ridiculous.
I'm looking on Google,
the search engine of the internet, right?
And I've looked at every available source of Sonic trainers
and they're not in his size.
So what are you going to do that's different to what I did?
Maybe I'll ask Jeeves.
Maybe I'll try Bing.
Don't be a cocky arsehole.
Maybe I'll go on the dark web.
Genuinely, what would you have done differently to me?
I was just offering help.
No, no.
You're a prick.
You'd have went on Google and you'd have typed in Sonic Trainers
and you'd have come up with exactly the same,
you know, reply,
answer,
as me.
Good.
Right.
Yes.
Do you not find that patronising at all?
I just find that sometimes,
you know,
I might be better at finding some things
than you might be.
I don't know.
You might be better at stuff than me.
Do you know what I mean?
A pair of trainers.
I wish I'd never said anything.
Really.
It's not jingle all the way, Chris. Do you know what I mean? A pair of trainers. I wish I'd never said anything. Really. It's not jingle all the way, Chris.
Do you know what I mean?
It's not a special toy
that you're going to have to stand outside to get.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
But while we're at it,
can I just say,
if you're a grown man
getting Sonic trainers in grown man size,
have a fucking word, will you?
Okay.
I was genuinely going to get you matching ones.
Oh, were you? But now that you've poo-pooed that idea. Oh, no, get you matching ones oh were you
but now that you
poo pooed that idea
oh no I want matching ones
no don't even
oh no I want matching ones
you have absolutely
no no no I want matching ones
no please I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm sorry
no ma'am
ma'am I'm sorry ma'am

stripe across them

Not blue ones.
So he's like,

No, he just wants blue trainers.
Oh, God.
But annoyingly,
the ones that I've seen,
they're actually really cool.
They're like yellow, blue, and red, and white.
And they haven't got his size.

but please, please do.
The lady who messaged about the guy on the train oh yeah okay find the train guy find the
train guy now someone has emailed in here right inspired by the train guy story last week recap
a girl saw a guy on a train really fancied she wants a tour that's what all that's about okay
he has a story along those lines hi rosie Rosie and Chris. Hello. I was just listening to
last week's podcast and the story about falling in love
with a man on a train reminded me of my own
similar experience.
About two years ago
I was getting the tube into work
and spotted a gorgeous man getting on
at the station after mine. We briefly
made eye contact and that was it.
The fantasies of meeting the cute guy
on the train at work and
our subsequent inevitable happy and lifelong relationship began. Over the next few weeks
and months I began to see him more and more as I always stand in the same place on the train
and he would always get on at the same doors. Over time I noticed that he would always stand
opposite me whenever the position was free and we would occasionally glance over to each
other on the 25 minute journey he became known i love this he became known within my group of work
friends as hot tube guy wow and they would always try and persuade me to actually talk to him
then one fateful morning the trains were delayed so when. So when one eventually did arrive, it was
pretty packed. I managed to get
my usual spot in the bendy bit between
two carriages. Fucking weird that you'd
stand there, but carry on. But unfortunately...
Awful that you'd stand there. Worst place to stand.
Why? Excuse me, can I stand in the most dangerous
part of the train, please? Yes, you can. Yes.
I'd like the death seat, please.
Can I stand barefooted in this
hinge of a moving train?
Fucking idiot.
Anyway, I managed to get my usual spot in the bendy bit between the two carriages.
But unfortunately, by the time we got to the next station,
the only space left for Hot Tube Guy was next to the doors.
However, as the journey went on and other passengers disembarked,
I noticed Hot Tube Guy moving further into the train towards me.
He managed to slowly work his way along the carriage
until he was stood right next to me.
And then it happened.
What?
As we rounded the corner in a Farringdon station
and the connectors between the carriages constantinaed together,
our elbows touched.
Shut up.
The electric...
Great reaction.
The electricity between us
was so intense
and could no longer
be denied.
Wow.
And that is the story
we are going to tell
at our wedding.
Just kidding.
Farringdon's my stop
to get off,
so no words were exchanged.
So, then...
Is that it? Then a couple of weeks after this
my clumsy self forgot to mind the gap and ended up with my whole leg down between the train and
the platform accompanied by some hefty bruising and i pulled a muscle i started getting on the
earlier tube so that i could get a seat and realizing being in the office before everyone
else meant that i could get more work done. Brackets plus, having a seat is nice.
So I stayed on the earlier schedule,
and I've never seen Hot Tube Guy since.
Oh, for God's sake.
Oh, no.
Oh, do you know what it is?
I genuinely thought they might have got married.
I know.
God.
Sorry.
I was like, I'm going to have her with this.
I'm going to have her life with this. That's infuriating.
She's just going to just say she gave up on love
because she likes sitting down,
and she likes getting in the office earlier
to get more work done.
I mean, I kind of get it.
Fucking nerd.
But that's such a shame.
Babadoo babadoo babadoo bah.
This Friday.

It's a girl.

I got a tweet
because you know how I talked about chat blinds last week
yes
I got a tweet from somebody
and someone has come up with social distancing
pick up lines
oh god
kill me
just kill us
annoyingly I do want to hear them,
but I'm annoyed that it's a thing.
Yeah, no, this is...
Fucking hell.
These are now a thing that you could use
in bars.
Oh, social distance chat up lines.
At like 10 to 10.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey,
if COVID-19 doesn't take you out,
can I?
Fucking Christ.
That's...
That's really shit.
That's good.
It's annoyingly good, but it's annoyingly good but it's also really shit
and it's massively insensitive
imagine saying that
to someone who's lost
a relative to it
well okay
fair enough
fair enough
that would be a bit upsetting
but this one's quite good
are you ready
yeah
is that hand sanitizer
in your pocket
or are you just happy
to be within six foot of me
Jesus fucking Christ
okay
okay that one's really good.
This one's nice.
Hey, since all the public libraries are closed,
I'm checking you out instead.
Oh, I hate that I like these.
This one, you're going to love this one.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
You can't spell virus without you and I.
without you and I.
I like them, eh?
I like them. That one's really good.
This is you, right?
This would be your chat up line.
Okay.
Had you been single
during this.
Hi.
I saw you from across the bar.
Stay there.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay.
Yeah, right.
They're really good.
Hey, babe.
Can I ship you a drink?
Ship you a drink.
I enjoyed them very much.
Thank you.
Ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba-doo, ba.
Okay.
Hey, Chris and Rosie.
Hi.
Please keep me anonymous.
Will do.
In my single, sad life,
I had nothing but bad experiences with dating guys.
I decided to go on Grindr.
I know.
I can hear people brace themselves as I write that.
You know Grindr?
We've talked about Grindr before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grindr is the gay Tinder.
Yes.
Yes.
After a few hours,
a message came up from a guy
who didn't have a face
like a chewed up mint in his mind.
Jesus Christ. And in my ideal
age range. So we got to chatting.
So at first I thought you were going to say it didn't
have a face. But then
that, a chewed up mint, what a
what an awful way to describe someone.
Alright mate.
Jesus. I imagine you're an oil
oil painting are you
he's painting himself like that
and I believe him
I myself
have a face like an
untuned mint
we proper hit it off
non-stop chats
Grindr is a battery guzzler
so my phone stayed on charge
for quite a few days
with our lockdown based chats
didn't know that about Grindr
I didn't know Grindr was a battery guzzler
learn something new every day but I imagine with all the pictures and uh words and
updates and noises probably and then it's obviously constantly broadcasting where you are as well so
yeah it's probably like takes up a lot like the location having a map and a text open at the same
time yeah we're gonna solve that one he was well educated and funny i felt i had to do the same oh i like that too that's so cool
right stop doing that right can i just say now stop fucking doing that people because it's bullshit
i hate that well it's gonna get him in a lot of trouble oh shit as i didn't want to let this guy
go so i grafted away basically he's just he's lying left right and center grind grind it away grind it away exactly so as the lockdown eased we arranged to meet he liked the idea of a walk around a nature reserve
and i agreed thinking it was a good post-lockdown way to meet someone safely he said he knew quite
a good few places as he was very into nature and preferred it to a date in a bar, which was still shut at the time. Oh, God.
He gave me the address
slash postal code to meet him
and at the time it would be quieter to avoid
lots of others. Oh, no. What are you thinking?
Oh, I'm either
thinking that it's going to be
a monkey-dogging kind of hook-up thing
or he's going to get there and this
fucking guy's going to be like Bear Grylls and he's going to be
in flip-flops and a shirt. Okay, what's it? It's going to be like a mountain climb and they're going to get there and this fucking guy's going to be like Bear Grylls and he's going to be in flip-flops and a shirt.
Okay, we'll see.
It's going to be like a mountain climb
and they're going to have to catch their own food
because he's just said yes to everything
because he fancies them.
When I arrived,
I saw a few cars in the heavily wooded area
and a very nice looking path towards some gardens
and other green shit that looked well kept.
Sorry, sorry.
I've got so many questions about that sentence.
A very nice looking path.
Do you know what?
I get that though.
I don't get that at all.
No, of course you do.
Thinking, right, close your eyes
and just think of a very nice looking path.
I can't because I don't think that's a thing.
Right, well, I can see one straight away.
Where's it leading?
To Chatsworth House where we went
a few weeks ago
the National Trust thing
yeah
it's a nice looking path
so what's he said there
let's go over that again
he said a very nice
looking path
leading to some what
green shit
to other green shit
that look well kept
it's a fucking idiot
Tony's lying hey do you want to go on a nature walk?
Yeah I love green shit
It'd be great
Love all that green shit
Coming out the ground
Fucking bullshit
Oh I can't wait till you get found out
I texted him
And he said when I was ready
I should head down the path
And he had found a nice area for us
Oh shit the bed
I was a tiny bit nervous
I would be murdered
But our chats filled me with confidence Just bed. I was a tiny bit nervous I would be murdered, but our chats filled me
with confidence.
Just a tiny bit.
Just a tiny bit nervous
I'd be murdered,
but he was educated.
But these dating sites,
you don't know
who you're going to meet.
Yeah, no, you don't.
Do you know what I mean?
And I've got a lot of gay friends
who are on Grindr,
and they work a lot quicker
on Grindr
than they do
on any other dating sites.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Blokes kind of just want
to get straight to it, don't they?
Just want to get to it.
Surprise!
Yeah, so he's a bit worried he's going to get murdered.
Just a bit.
But he said, but our chats filled me with confidence,
so I got out of my car and walked down the path towards the gardens.
Because obviously, chats mean everything.
Yeah.
To my surprise, I saw it was packed,
swarming everywhere were people across this rather large playing field
sized pitch of grass with trees around. As I tried to find the guy I had agreed to meet,
I scanned over the sea of people in groups and noticed a guy laying down on a picnic blanket,
waving, but with a slightly concerned face behind his Ray-Ban sunglasses.
I walked over slowly and he got up to greet me as I approached.
To my horror,
he was completely stark,
bollock,
naked.
Fuck off.
Fuck off.
And when I turned my head
to not laugh in my natural reaction,
I saw all the rest of the people around,
mostly older male couples,
were also pale-ass naked.
Oh my God.
How did you not notice that in the first place? I don't know.
Oh my god. How's he not
noticed everyone's got
their clothes on? I love that that guy's concerned.
The guy in the picture blacker saw how embarrassing
he's got his clothes on.
Yeah.
As I bit my lip with every
inch of strength I had, my
date greeted me and soon asked me
why I had not got myself
ready before I walked down.
It was then he said
he was a naturist
and me, in my stupid
blind love state, had gone,
oh yes, I love a bit of that sometimes,
thinking he was talking about
trees and butterflies.
And green shit.
That's amazing.
Oh my god god that's fantastic
he's mistakenly
thought that
the gentleman
the gentleman
told him earlier on
that he's a naturist
and he's thought
that he just likes nature
wow
stop saying gentleman
bloke
it's not the same thing
man naked
in public
not a gentleman
I kind of
why do I see naturists
as a little
as middle class?
I think it is quite middle class.
It's not a working class thing.
Well, I don't think the working classes need an organisation
to be naked in public.
I think if you're working class and you want to get naked in public...
If it's over 19 degrees, you'll find the working classes
without the tops on, walking around with cans of lager.
We'll not find a place to do it.
No, but naturist, I think, is a middle-class, middle-over-class
thing. Oh my god, so what did he do?
Was there anything else there? So,
I outright confessed to
not being into not being a nudist
and laughed as I woke back
my call hastily. To add insult
injury, he said, nice to meet you, and I quickly
shot back, thanks, nice penis.
And then wished I was dead immediately.
Sebastian! shot back thanks nice penis and then wished i was dead immediately and that's it nice penis and he left wow wow that's it i often think how much actual naturism do british naturists
get to do what do you mean You've got to be fucking committed
to be a naturist in Britain.
The weather we get? Come on, man.
No way. Would you ever do it?
Nah. No? Nah.
Not in a million years.
I don't want to do this.
No, I would do it.
I would give it a shot. Why?
I don't understand what the point
is. What's the point?
Don't know.
What's the point in it?
What's the end game?
Standing in a field going,
oh, we're all naked.
We're here.
It's like fancy dress.
Because it hasn't really got anything to do with sex either,
has it?
So I imagine it's like fancy dress.
So like fancy dress is good
for them first five seconds
where you all turn up at wherever you're meeting
and you all see what you are
and you all laugh.
Yeah.
But then later on for the rest of the night
you're just walking around looking like an arsehole.
Bitch, yeah.
Yeah. You really do look like an arsehole
yeah
it's an interest
I don't see
what the end game is
I don't understand it
just standing there
are you naked
I'm naked as well
this is great innit
not really
an all over tan
you might have just nailed it there
all over tan
that might be it
no tan lines
I'm alright for ever seeing
someone putting
sun cream onto their bollocks though I'm alright for ever seeing someone putting sun cream onto their
bollocks though.
I'm alright for ever
seeing that.
Ever.
In my life.
I do not.
I don't really.
I don't like watching
people put sun tan cream
on anyway.
I find it weird.
You know I look.
You know I caught
a stranger's eyes
when they're putting
sun tan cream on.
No.
It's weird.
It's weird round the pool.
I don't find it a problem.
I realise I call it
sun tan cream as well.
Sun cream.
I don't know why
I call it sun tan cream. Sun tan cream. It's weird that innit. Is that't find it a problem. I call it suntan cream as well. It's sun cream. I don't know why I call it suntan cream.
Suntan cream.
It's weird that, isn't it?
Is that what you call it?
Suntan cream.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've never noticed that.
Put your suntan cream on.
That's awful.
It's just an extra word in there
that doesn't need to be there.
Stop that straight away.
Yeah.
You know,
just when someone's just
lathering their self up,
they're just like rubbing
their own like man tits
and they're like looking at you.
No, I've never noticed it.
I just find it strange
I find it uncomfortable
never ever noticed it
yeah I'm just rubbing
this grease on myself
how are you doing man
you alright
I don't know you
how's it going
just put some of me balls
on me dick there
how's it going
I hate couples
I hate seeing
we watched Below Deck
last night
we just started it
on Netflix
and one of the women
was putting the bloke
sun cream on his face
his face
and I just thought
oh that's not a place
he can't reach
that annoyed us yeah but there is people who do that when they do it for each other and you think sun cream on his face. His face. And I just thought, oh, that's not a place he can't reach. He put it on his face.
That annoyed us.
Yeah.
But there is people
who do that
when they do it for each other
and you think,
why are you not doing that yourself,
you incapable piece of shit?
Well, he was just a knob, that guy.
Yeah, he was awful.
We could do a full episode
about that first charter
on Below Deck,
but we ain't got the time.
Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.
Let's have a question this one,
more of a story.
Okay.
Nice little story.
Always great, always great
Dear Rosie and Chris
I wanted to share this story with you
as I thought it would amuse you
I belong to a rather nice sports club
and last summer I wanted to go for a quick swim
to cool off as it was a boiling hot day
I'd love to be a member of a sports club
Yeah, and I would say I'm a member
I wouldn't say I belong to a sports club No, I would say, I'd say Yes, I belong of a sports club yeah and i would say i'm a member i wouldn't say i belong to a
sports club no i would say i'd say oh yes i belong to this sports club that's that's actually a little
one of my dreams a little one of your dreams so do you know when when you watch these films
from back in the day or whatever yeah and they're all part of like a racket club
right the club the sports club okay i'd quite like that yeah and we've got the leisure
center we yeah we don't have any near us we've got our council run leisure centers yeah it's
not the same it's not the same i know what you mean the country club the country club
i'm picturing in my mind's eye like an old like a michael douglas film like a 90s michael douglas
film with yeah quite like i mean i'd hate everybody there yeah and they would hate me
yes but but it would be nice
to be a part of something. Anyway, this is what she's
a part of. Great, well done her.
Probably just emailing the show off. Possibly,
but it's a nice little funny story.
I went into the communal changing room
and put my things in a locker and went for
a swim. I got out,
had a shower and started getting dressed.
I grabbed my very
standard black M&S knickers from the bench and put them on.
Oh, Jesus.
Once I had done this, a woman appears with her small son
and starts asking people in the changing room,
have you seen my knickers?
Oh, God.
At that very moment, I open my locker and look in to see all my clothes,
including my knickers.
That's the worst.
I have a mild panic when it dawns on me that I am actually wearing that lady's knickers. That's the worst. I have a mild panic when it dawns on me
that I am actually wearing that lady's knickers.
I was also a bit grossed out
as I realised I had someone else's knickers on.
Yuck.
I very hurriedly got dressed.
Meanwhile, she is still muttering to herself about her knickers
and I just felt I couldn't lift up my dress and say,
I've got them on!
She should have done!
You mean these ones, love?
Embarrassed and determined not to own up to this,
I ran to the loo and hid those knickers very carefully behind the U-bend.
Eee!
Yeah.
Eee!
I then very hurriedly left the changing room very carefully behind the U-bend. Eee. Yeah. Eee.
I then very hurriedly left the changing room and left the poor woman knickerless.
Oh, my God.
This is a true story,
and my friends have dined out on it many times.
That's terrible.
What would you have done?
Ah, weirdly.
Yeah?
Kept them on.
Yeah?
Put mine in me bag, left.
And not said no
I wouldn't have went
and stuck them behind the u-ben
that was weirdness
I know that is a bit strange
although did you just want them off
you could have put them in the bin
you could have put them in your own bag
she could have put them in her bag
I'd have very
I would have
looked at the person
who had lost the knickers
well yeah
you've got to judge it by the person
and I'd have judged it by the person
yeah yeah yeah
do you know
I'd have give her them back I would have changed no I'd have give her it and I'd have judged it by the person yeah yeah yeah do you know I'd have given them back
I would have changed
no I'd have given them back
I'd have went
eee
are these yours
I would have
I'd have
yes you know me
I'd have literally been like
are these yours
and then I'd have left it
in her car
I'd have went
I'd have went look
you can have them back
or we can just call this a day
because then she's got to go
ugh no I don't want them on
that you've had them on
and you're like well you've had them on and i've got them on you fucking slag
well you've seen your fannies nicer than my fanny however i'll fight you like what a horrible
i think she did the right thing hiding them was strange but i do understand that you probably
wanted to take them off you don't want to drive home in someone else's knickers so i imagine she
wanted to take them off hide them in the u-bend was weird i just put them in the bin probably
what if that lady's got to go somewhere and she's got to have no kegs on? She's got to go out of their command
or hard lines.
What are you thinking?
Leaving just your knickers on a bench?
What did you do?
She came in with nothing on
and her son,
he probably needed the toilet,
to be fair.
Possibly.
Toddlers, he probably needed the toilet.
He probably had a team
which hadn't put knickers on.
Yeah.
Well, hard lines.
Stop leaving your knickers everywhere.
There we go.
Okay.
I'd have given them back.
Really?
And then, like you say,
she looked at me and went,
well, this is disgusting. How dare you? have I'd have got kicked out of the racket club yeah my dreams would have been over
I've been put back to why were you banned from the racket club
Nick a theft I nicked some knickers comedian I know put a story on Facebook
idea that reminded us this mm-hmm and he was in a taxi going somewhere yeah Cymdeithas rwy'n ei wybod, roedd yn rhoi stori ar Facebook y dydd hwnnw a'i gofyn i ni am hyn. Roedd yn y taxi, yn mynd i rywle.
Ie.
Mae ei enw yn George Zak, mae'n gomediyn.
Mae'n comici Grec ond mae'n byw yn y Cymru.
Rwy'n credu ei bod yn byw yn y Cymru, dydw i ddim wedi'i weld am amser.
Ie, mas.
Ie, fe wnaeth y taxi, roedd yn rhoi'r arian i'r driver, a'i roi i'r lle y byddai'n mynd.
Ac wrth gael'r taxi, roedd yn edrych i i lawr ac yn droi'r masg meddygol.
Rydych chi'n gwybod ei masg?
Y masg yma?
Y masg yma.
Y masg meddygol.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma.
Y masg yma. Y masg yma. Y masg he found on the floor outside the taxi. Oh, on the floor.
Oh, my God.
Isn't that the worst?
That's so grim.
Isn't that the absolute worst?
That is so grim.
I need to wash my masks, actually.
Every time I get my mask out my handbag,
it's filthier and filthier
like yesterday i got it i was laughing with my mom because i got it out my bag and i'd had some
crackers in my bag because i had to take crackers with us after i'd been for a swim because i'm
i feel faint so like a child yeah and basically i put my mask on and it was just full of cracker
crumbs and i was like rosie that's not a mask that's a nose bag that you give horses with the fucking dinner in you've invented the human nose bag
what an animal really have oh my word do you reckon there's people out there hoeing biscuits
and that in their mask and then just snacking on them you never know i did see a good video
if somebody had two masks on so they had one over the nose and one over the chin yeah and they were
like opening their mouth and eating yeah very good i've seen that good yeah yeah absolutely not
what you should do really because it makes the mask quite pointless but i thought it was funny
for the sake of comedy i enjoyed it babadoo babadoo babadoo bah dear rosie and chris hello
i've been listening to your podcast since the beginning and i finally got around to typing
out this story after hearing other weird first date stories.
It's a bit long, but bear with it.
It's worth it.
I can confirm that it's worth it
because I did enjoy this story very much.
Okay.
I met this guy on a dating site a few years ago.
Brackets, I'm in a happy long-term relationship now,
thank God,
because I nearly gave up on dating after this one.
Sounds juicy.
Don't say juicy.
We messaged back and forth a few times
and it seemed he was really into comic books
and superheroes, etc.
Which was fine.
We all love a bit of Marvel
and I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to that.
You'd get on well with him.
I don't know if I would.
No.
He asked me out to his hometown, Kingston-upon-Thames,
which, if you don't know,
isn't exactly somewhere you'd ask girls
to go on a first date. Now, no offence to Kingston-upon-Thames, which, if you don't know, isn't exactly somewhere you'd ask girls to go on a first date.
Now, no offence to Kingston-upon-Thames here,
I don't know anything about that. I know there's a really good
comedy club there called Outside the Box, but I've never actually
played it or been there. Why would you not
ask a girl to go to Kingston-upon-Thames?
I've got literally no idea. Something wrong with it?
I don't know. I've got no idea. So, anyone listening,
don't get offended. We don't know.
Plus, it's a good hour's journey from my
home. Well, there we go.
Let's meet somewhere
more metropolitan
and closer
possibly London
or something
I agreed though
after some persuading
as he said
he'd show me the sites
not sure what sites
there are in
Kingston upon Thames
but there you go
alright love
will you fucking
leave Kingston upon Thames
to go
it sounds absolutely
delightful
Christ alive
bloody upon Thames
sounds posh as anything
well anything I think
with upon Thames on it
sounds quite nice doesn't it you're just sold by southern stuff like that aren't you oh always Hen Bloody upon Thames sounds posh as anything. Well, anything I think with upon Thames on it sounds quite nice,
doesn't it?
You're just sold by
Southern stuff like that,
aren't you?
Oh, always.
Henley on Thames
is really nice,
you've said.
I've never been myself,
but you always say
it's quite nice.
Honestly,
literally I could get you
a tin of biscuits
and if it had something
upon Thames written
on the front,
you'd be like,
oh, these are lovely biscuits.
Yeah, I'd be like,
these have been made
in a nice place.
Upon some Thames.
Upon the Thames terms when we were messaging
he asked me who my favorite superhero was and i said superman brackets i was younger and i hadn't
discovered thor yet fair enough oh i get that we met at the train station brackets he came with not
one but two boxes of chocolate for me weird would you say weird or would you be buzzing with i mean
i'd be absolutely buzzing and he looked quite smart in trousers, a shirt, tie and glasses,
brackets which it turned out he didn't need.
First thing he said was that he'd come in costume.
He pulled open his shirt and had a Superman T-shirt underneath
and said he'd come as Clark Kent.
Vom.
No, right, goodbye, it's been lovely meeting you.
This is for later on in the relationship
when we've already fallen in love
and I discover that you are a nine-year-old boy.
But for now, I'd like to go out with a man, please.
Not a man in cosplay.
Yeah.
No.
So that was what you would say to him?
That's what I would say.
Would you leave?
I mean, you're talking to a girl who stayed on a date with a guy who did porn.
Right.
So, no.
You wouldn't.
I'd probably stay.
I'd stay.
I'd see it out.
I mean, I'd probably kiss him.
You'd stay and eat the chocolate, wouldn't you?
I'd eat the chocolate.
I'd play along.
I'd go, where did you get your glasses from?
Obviously not.
Are you warm with that T-shirt under your shirt?
Yeah.
Quick, careful, I'm going to go past that phone box.
Don't want to lose you.
I haven't got your number.
Not there.
Right, come on.
Right, well, I think she was the same, right?
I wasn't exactly enthralled,
but thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
Some girls might have thought this was cute or funny after all.
And again, some people are so nice.
He said he was going to take me to his favourite bar.
So we started walking and ended up
in front of the indoor shopping center we walked inside and i was already dubious whose favorite
bar to impress a girl is in a shopping center we ended up walking to the audience cinema bar which
thank god was shut i'm not sitting in an empty dingy cinema bar with someone i've only just met
he was very disappointed and apparently didn't have a plan b maybe do your research for a first date mate question mark anyway it was a warm sunny day in june and i'd seen a pub by the
river on my way there so i suggested we go and sit outside and have a drink there so he took out of
the bar in the cinema yes the audience cinema bar on a sunny day and was it an old audience cinema
or was it a modern one so it sounds like right that's
terrific okay because i thought maybe it was a rustic one popcorn i mean i do like popcorn but
i could think of nicer pubs to go to when we got there he went to the bar and asked me what i
wanted i said a pims and he came back with a pint of pims for meing to get me drunk much? And tap water for himself.
Leave! Abort!
Abort! Abort!
Get your kryptonite out!
I've been there, done that. Don't do it. Don't do it.
I jokingly commented on the tap water.
Brackets. No judgement at all, but
I probably couldn't be with someone who didn't
drink at all. Close brackets. See, that's
where I'm a bit confused.
He's got tap water and he's bought her a pint of Pimms.
I imagine he doesn't understand drink.
It's like a feeder with drink.
But he probably doesn't understand alcohol,
so if he doesn't drink...
Is he actually Superman?
Well...
Is this what it's going to be?
So she's joked about the alcohol.
He went on to say he didn't put anything bad in his body.
No alcohol, bad food or anything,
as he needed to be the best he could be for his training i can't say it without laughing okay yes come on come on he said he said he gets up at 6 30 a.m every day goes for a run and does
weights etc it wasn't that similar to my lifestyle but fine whatever thoughts you bought then he
asked if he could take me on a walk and find a place to have a snog brackets why would you ask just do it we walked past an
alleyway when he exclaimed i've taken girls down there for a cheeky kiss it's nice and private
i felt a bit freaked out at this point and probably should have left but we walked a couple of minutes
to a park and as soon as we sat down on a bench he leaned in awful kiss one of the worst i've ever
had she does not pull fucking punches here like what's your kiss i pulled away and suggested we
chat for a bit instead so i asked what he wanted to do he said he was happy working in a pub as it
gave him time to work out and concentrate on his training he said he said he needed to be the best he could be
if he wanted to save the world one person at a time.
I laughed as he was obviously joking
and jokingly asked if he was serious.
He said, why else would he do so much training?
It's to fight off the bad guys
when he goes on his nightly patrols.
No, he doesn't.
I laughed again and said he was being... Yes.
I laughed again and
said he was being dangerous and stupid
if he was being serious. He said,
oh, don't worry, it's okay.
My costume protects me.
I'm sorry, but my first reaction,
if I was on a date with someone who, one,
was dressed as Superman underneath his clothes
and had fake glasses on and drank water,
my reaction to him saying these nightly patrols would not be,
that's dangerous, it would be,
what the fuck are you talking about?
Apparently, he has a bulletproof vest, kevlar gloves and a lacrosse stick that he takes out with him every night to fight bad guys
good for him he said he's come into some situations where he saved lives has stopped a girl from
getting attacked and stopped some drug dealers in a playground in brixton allegedly wow the best
thing about this is that he even has a superhero name for himself.
What's his name?
Which his mam has sewn onto a t-shirt for him.
He calls himself Justice.
Mr Justice or just Justice?
Is that one not taking it all? No, no, no, just Justice, like Shea or Seal.
Justice.
And thinks of himself as the Kingston Batman.
Apparently, Batman is his absolute hero.
He models his whole life around him
and even gets his best friend to pretend to be Alfred
and throw...
and even gets his best friend to pretend to be Alfred and throw and even gets his best friend to pretend to
be Alfred and throw apples at him whilst he tries to cut them in half with a knife like fruit like
fruit ninja on your phone well I literally couldn't stop laughing for a good few minutes
but when I finally caught my breath I could see he looked very offended he was deadly serious so
we stopped talking and sat in awkward silence for a bit. I couldn't take it anymore, so I said I had to go.
He insisted on walking me back to the train station.
And the last thing he said to me was...
I think it goes without saying,
but obviously don't tell anyone about my secret identity.
Oh, now I feel bad that we've mentioned it on here.
Is it weird that I'm actually worried that we're laughing that much because I feel like you might come and get me?
Oh, I do feel a bit bad.
I'm a bit scared.
What if he comes to get me?
He just does.
To be fair, we're not breaking any laws.
We're not bad guys, we're goodies.
Yeah, and you can't have an ego if you're a superhero, right?
You know, J. Jonah Jameson doesn't agree with Spider-Man.
He's always slagging him off.
But Spider-Man, you've just got to leave him
because J. Jonah Jameson's not breaking any rules.
I'm confused.
Why did he go dressed as Superman if he likes Batman better?
He went dressed as Superman just for her, I think,
for a joke for the date.
Right.
What did the two boxes of chocolate have anything to do with?
No idea.
Right, okay.
I think he might...
You know Big, where Tom Hanks is?
Yes.
I think he might actually be a child who's just turned into an adult for the day
and he's gone on a date and has no idea what to do.
Do you think?
He took two boxes of chocolate because his friend said girls like chocolates
because all the sister gets chocolate.
He's put a Superman t-shirt on underneath for a laugh
and then he's gone to the cinema bar because it's the only place he's ever been.
And he doesn't know how much Pim's to have in a glass. Oh my gosh, he is big. I think he's big. I think he's the to the cinema bar because it's the only place he's ever been and he doesn't know how much pims to have in a glass oh my gosh he is big i think he's big i
think he's the kid from big yeah safe to say i did not message him back when he texted me on the train
home i haven't spoke to him since i wondered if i'd been pranked or i was on one of those tv shows
where people play practical jokes or even if he had a bet with his mates because i just couldn't
believe that he was serious however his name came up on my Facebook suggested friends a while later.
Brackets, I probably should have deleted his number from my phone.
I'm guessing that's why it came up.
And his Facebook profile pic is him at his wedding.
And then she's put bracket, question mark, exclamation mark,
question mark, exclamation mark, close bracket.
So she can't believe he's been married.
At his wedding, ripping open his wedding shirt
to reveal a Batman t-shirt. There are no words. I had a lucky been married. Yeah. At his wedding, ripping open his wedding shirt to reveal a Batman t-shirt.
There are no words.
I had a lucky escape.
Awful.
I was going to say,
I hate that's awful.
I've seen that on Pinterest,
where all the blokes have the,
the,
the like superhero t-shirts
and underneath their shirts.
Yeah.
Wow,
each to their own,
I suppose,
isn't it?
You know?
I bet he's met someone
who's really into all that stuff.
Well,
I hope he has.
I'm glad he's married and he's happy, but fuck me. Well, I hope he has. I'm glad he's married
and he's happy,
but fuck me.
Wow.
Justice.
Are you not a little bit jealous?
A little bit?
Because I don't have anything
I'm that passionate about.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
No, do you know what I mean, though?
It's a hell of a fucking hobby.
It's a hell of a hobby.
He thinks he's a superhero.
Wow.
I'm a bit gutted, to be honest.
Maybe he is.
He says he saves people as well.
We watch a lot of
these kind of programs you never know you never know i've seen kick-ass yeah yeah and look at
what's happening at the minute i didn't think we'd be in a pandemic but we are so maybe justice is
real nebby's justice listen we're sorry listen just we're just trying to backdrop here because
we're really scared so sorry just across any what is it lacrosse lacrosse racket that's it yeah
that's pretty intense like just a quick google lacrosse racket look like yeah that's pretty intense like just
