00:00:00
Hello and welcome to dear Mr. Nick Thief.

00:00:02
I'm Sophie and I'm Johanna, and this is the podcast where we

00:00:05
used to read out my diary, but now we've opened up the floor to

00:00:08
you guys, so. Now we're going to read out

00:00:09
yours. Enjoy.

00:00:11
Enjoy and remember it's never too much.

00:00:14
It might be too much, OK. Hi, welcome back.

00:00:18
Welcome back. It's Johanna's birthday.

00:00:21
It is. Happy birthday to you if you're

00:00:26
watching this and not listening to it.

00:00:28
I encourage you to watch it if you are not, because Johanna's

00:00:31
T-shirt is iconic, this is. I like that this is the gift you

00:00:36
gave me and. You've called it.

00:00:38
The iconic T-shirt that I bought, but it is iconic.

00:00:41
It is. I actually went to buy this on

00:00:43
Instagram was like, Oh no, I really like it.

00:00:45
I don't know if I should, but so I'm really glad you did.

00:00:47
Yeah, it saw her. It is a T-shirt that says I had

00:00:51
my birthday at McDonald's. It's.

00:00:53
Very 90s, which if you know, Jay is I'm I I think I did well with

00:00:58
the. You did this.

00:00:59
Year this year. This year nostalgic 90s stuff.

00:01:04
I follow all those like accounts.

00:01:05
Oh my God. Like. 90s kids memories.

00:01:08
Yeah, I did the first like really Johanna thing.

00:01:11
Yeah, ever. This morning I was drinking my

00:01:14
coffee and I had Friends on in the background, as you do.

00:01:17
And then if you're a Friends fan, you'll know the T-shirt

00:01:19
that Monica wears that says Girlfriends, and it's got the

00:01:22
little, like, washing line on it.

00:01:25
I went and bought that because I was like, that's so cute.

00:01:27
And I was like, Oh my God, I've just done a Johanna.

00:01:29
I've done a Johanna because you'd be all.

00:01:31
You're inspired. By yeah, everything.

00:01:33
So the music I listen to is stuff that I've heard on a

00:01:36
series or a film or whatever. I don't listen to like modern

00:01:39
day charts. I listen to like film stuff well

00:01:42
and things like my favorite hobby is collecting outfits from

00:01:46
the movies. Which one fact did you know what

00:01:50
ASOS stands for? No, the original concept, no.

00:01:54
So ASOS starts. The original concept of ASOS was

00:01:58
a website you could go to called As Seen on Screen, Yes.

00:02:03
And it it was supposed to be linking things or similar

00:02:06
things. So if you saw something insects

00:02:07
in the city that you liked, ASOS would be like, well, I've got

00:02:10
pink rah rah skirts that you can buy from here.

00:02:13
And then it turned into its own thing, right?

00:02:15
But that's a bit of me. Always wondered what that stood

00:02:17
far as seen on screen. There you go, a little bit of

00:02:20
trivia fire there that that. Next time that gets asked in a

00:02:23
pub quiz, I'll be ready. Other other websites are

00:02:27
available. For you, I'll put you 2 on a

00:02:28
sponsor. But if you would like to sponsor

00:02:30
us. We would like that, yeah, very

00:02:32
much, actually. This top is for my sauce, yeah.

00:02:36
As seen on screen. As seen on screen now.

00:02:38
Thank you, but. What's that?

00:02:40
Reverse Google image search it and it should come up from last

00:02:44
year. But that's I've done it since I

00:02:46
was a kid. I remember I would watch

00:02:49
something and apparently you give me 15 minutes and I'd be

00:02:52
going and finding the closest ensemble that I could and I'd

00:02:55
come out. Johanna wears clothes that

00:02:57
literally like if I put them on, I would be the uncoolest person

00:03:01
in the world. No, but on you.

00:03:03
No, no, but on you they look amazing.

00:03:06
If I came out wearing what was it you wore last week?

00:03:08
And you were like, oh, the leopard print jump like joggers

00:03:12
A at shirt that says don't be a dig and you had a green wool.

00:03:15
Thing on my green. Julet a Gru Julet and you're

00:03:18
like, oh, I feel like the Grinch.

00:03:19
If I wore that, I wouldn't I would not rock it.

00:03:23
You, however rock it like yeah, she has like the best fashion

00:03:29
and I like yeah, I I can't I'm on the.

00:03:32
Flip side, I couldn't wear what you wear and pass it off like

00:03:36
because you were like classic lady tailoring and you and.

00:03:40
I don't know about. You do you wear like nice beige

00:03:44
clothes and things. I guess it's like you have the

00:03:48
brownies, you have you, you, you, you get tailoring things.

00:03:53
But because you're very like young and pretty, it looks

00:03:55
really sorry pretty. Young.

00:03:57
All right, grandma, you're searching.

00:03:59
But I'm old now. It's my birthday.

00:04:02
I. She's two years older than me,

00:04:04
which means she's. That means I'm I am injured.

00:04:07
But yeah, both of our styles on the other one would look weird.

00:04:11
I I feel so uncomfortable in like classic wear formal wear.

00:04:16
But when you say it depends that I cut my tight clothes.

00:04:19
And I. I get really angry.

00:04:21
I like a baggy. A baggy.

00:04:23
I like baggy, but like, yeah, it's tailored baggy, oversized I

00:04:28
guess, but you can have. Tailored and oversized.

00:04:30
So it's like it's oversized on purpose, but then it's pulled in

00:04:33
exactly where you need it to be. Yeah, but you wear tight stuff.

00:04:36
But even then, like, it's still like, cool.

00:04:38
Like you're better at it. Yeah, you're good, but you wear

00:04:40
but you're like, even if it's like feminine, you make it

00:04:43
Johanna. Like it's just it's.

00:04:46
Just throwing compliments at them.

00:04:48
You're amazing. No, no, no.

00:04:51
You are No, but like if you've got a dress or something on your

00:04:53
whack on a pair of docks with it, yes.

00:04:55
I have to balance, Yeah, if I feel it's really weird, if I

00:04:58
feel. Too too feminine or too he

00:05:01
doesn't feel. I'm like something's not right.

00:05:03
And then I back a big pair of army boots on or like a

00:05:05
backwards cap and I'm like, I'm ready.

00:05:08
Yeah, whereas I'm like, I don't know, I'm feminine, but like

00:05:14
casual feminine. Like I couldn't wear a band old

00:05:15
dress, like that's my idea of hell and stilettos and like or

00:05:18
like a corset and I don't know, like I'm getting better.

00:05:22
You wear. Neutrals and then you add the

00:05:25
feminine on top. That's what you.

00:05:27
Do at the house. So do you remember when you met

00:05:28
me? I never used to wear my hair

00:05:29
down ever. Sophie I look back at old 4 oars

00:05:33
and I'm like what was I thinking?

00:05:35
Sophie Never. Wore her hair down.

00:05:36
She had the tightest ponytail. I mean, it was a fantastic

00:05:39
ponytail because you've, you've got a lot of hair.

00:05:41
I was a hot hair. I've got like 3 hairs.

00:05:43
And so my my ponytail, I look like if I put my hair in a

00:05:47
ponytail, I look like a founding father.

00:05:53
To be fair, that was me. I was at the founding father.

00:05:55
Like no. You you had that like a very

00:05:58
tight high Ariana Grande horse tail coming out of your head and

00:06:02
it was great, but. But I didn't ever wear it.

00:06:04
Never. Wore it down and I'd be like,

00:06:05
whenever you put your hair down, I was like, wow, where you at if

00:06:08
I had your hair? So yeah, I pay hundreds and

00:06:10
hundreds of pounds sometimes to have extensions that look

00:06:13
something like yours. And you'd be, you put it down

00:06:16
like, no, can't you hearts put it up?

00:06:18
Yeah. And then what happened?

00:06:20
You just want they got. Divorced.

00:06:24
I got a divorce and I realized. I'm beautiful.

00:06:28
I look great with my hair down. What?

00:06:31
Was I doing? No, I don't know.

00:06:32
Yeah. Getting more comfortable in my

00:06:34
own skin. I don't know.

00:06:34
It was a security blanket for me.

00:06:36
I. Thought I always thought I

00:06:37
looked. Fat with my hair down?

00:06:38
Really. Yeah, it's the opposite.

00:06:40
But no, for a long time. Like my face is the same shape

00:06:44
as it was like when I was at uni.

00:06:46
And then for like a, when I get stressed, I, I grind my teeth

00:06:50
and then I don't like what you call cortisol face as well.

00:06:53
So if I'm stressed, I grind my teeth and then I also get

00:06:56
cortisol face, which is where like you're, you're just puffy.

00:06:59
And I used to think that made my me look fat.

00:07:02
I've heard your hair down. Yeah, so I used to try and like

00:07:05
pull it up by having my hair up, pull it back.

00:07:07
Yeah, pull it back, like balance it out, match the favour.

00:07:10
Actually all what I really needed was some layers and some.

00:07:14
And yeah, because it was long, but it was also like shapeless.

00:07:16
Oh yeah, it was a bit, yeah. And then?

00:07:19
Straight down, do you? Remember.

00:07:20
Do you remember when I had like one of my nerves broke down?

00:07:25
Do you remember? Do you remember when I was the

00:07:26
nervous? Breakdown of 17 do you remember?

00:07:28
Yeah, no. And I cut my hair.

00:07:31
We went to Hersh. Hershson's other hair songs are

00:07:33
available. But they did butcher my hair.

00:07:35
We went there and I went to go and have it cut.

00:07:38
And it was really long. And I was like, look, I'll go

00:07:39
collarbone. Like, we'll go cute.

00:07:40
And it was growing. They just went and I left it

00:07:43
crying. Yeah.

00:07:44
And it was like the shortest. We went for the same haircut.

00:07:49
I was off. I looked and I I got a good guy

00:07:51
because. You wanted that though as well,

00:07:53
though. I wanted collarbone.

00:07:54
Yeah, but. I see what will happen, what

00:07:56
went wrong? Is my hair's so.

00:07:58
Thick. She was so concerned about it

00:08:00
looking triangle. You kept asking her to keep

00:08:02
layering, to keep thinning it, but whereas she wasn't

00:08:05
understanding that you needed it thin from the top, not the

00:08:08
bottom. So she was thinning out and

00:08:09
thinning out and thinning out and you were going.

00:08:11
It's still too thick. It's still too thick and.

00:08:12
You think it's a good thing when like, you're at a point in your

00:08:15
life where you're like, Oh my God, everything's off.

00:08:17
I just, I just need to cut off my hair.

00:08:19
Don't do it. I've done it a couple of times

00:08:22
and then do you remember when I had those highlights put in to

00:08:25
try and like help it? Just give it a bit more because

00:08:28
I mention because I look like Lord Farquhar because my hair

00:08:30
naturally is pitch black, pitch black, Snow White with the black

00:08:34
I'm Ebony. And it needed like some like it

00:08:38
needed something because I was like Lord Farquhar sort of snip

00:08:40
going like on like it wasn't good.

00:08:42
And it was the most awful orange stripes through my hair.

00:08:47
So I came to you and you rescued it then very emo and it was

00:08:50
orange. And then I was like, I got

00:08:53
extensions for the first time in my life because I was like, I

00:08:55
just didn't feel like me. And I wore extensions for like a

00:08:58
year. But what's the shame?

00:08:59
It's a shame you had a bad experience because when you get

00:09:01
a bad short haircut. I've done it twice in my life.

00:09:05
No, no, it's awful. And you've had two bad short.

00:09:07
When you get a good short haircut, it is really cool.

00:09:11
Yeah. I can't risk it.

00:09:13
No, no, you would suit A. Good.

00:09:16
I knew exactly if I could have a go at your hair, I knew what I

00:09:19
would do. Every time I've nearly ended up

00:09:20
with a Pixie cup and it's not good, no, no, no.

00:09:23
And it's really sad. And then when it grows out, I

00:09:25
look like Lord Farquaad. So it's a Snape.

00:09:28
Or when it wears a bit greasy, I like Snape.

00:09:30
And when it's clean I look like Farquaad because it's like, like

00:09:33
SpongeBob SquarePants. So yeah, note self don't ever do

00:09:37
that again. On the, on the no extensions, I

00:09:42
think very, very hair disasters and hair cutting all your hair

00:09:46
off and all that. It's part of it's part of the

00:09:48
process of being a girl and also it's character building because

00:09:53
I've had so many hair disasters and I've lost all my hair

00:09:55
before, like all my buzz cut. All yes, that that one that you

00:09:59
had. So I didn't know Jay when she

00:10:02
had this haircut, but she had half of her head shaved off

00:10:06
shaved. The other half was a mullet.

00:10:07
And the other half was a mullet. I had some stripy lime.

00:10:10
I, I I was scouted as a hair model and it went terribly,

00:10:13
terribly wrong. I'll find pictures we can

00:10:15
probably. Put pictures.

00:10:16
Oh my God, it's amazing. But.

00:10:18
It was actually in retrospect and one of the best things that

00:10:21
ever happened to me because it I had to cut, I had to just

00:10:25
boycott my whole hair to save it and it's character building and

00:10:31
I realized how much of me relied on my hair to.

00:10:34
Become a security. Blanket And when I lost that, I

00:10:37
just had to be like, right, Well, it's just me in the world.

00:10:40
Yeah, well, I've lost it twice and no, it doesn't count.

00:10:43
Didn't like it? If your hair is still below your

00:10:45
chin, that doesn't it. Wasn't the back of it is like

00:10:47
this? No, it wasn't.

00:10:48
Oh my God, it wasn't awful. It was.

00:10:50
Do you remember? No, I did a ponytail.

00:10:51
It was like, how was this? Like, ain't no Ariana Grande in

00:10:57
that. It was awful.

00:10:59
No, I couldn't get it in a Bony day, but.

00:11:00
Still, I wouldn't count short proper.

00:11:02
I think every girl once in your life should take all your hair

00:11:06
off because honestly it changes you as your character and then

00:11:10
you don't rely on it anymore. And it's not you're not a slave

00:11:13
to having. Long hair and feeling well, I'll

00:11:15
take my years of Croydon facelift ponytails as my like I

00:11:19
never had. I never had hair then really, it

00:11:21
was always in a ponytail. So I'll take it as that.

00:11:24
I won't be doing it again. It's really like, I don't like

00:11:26
short hair, but then you were like, but I'll have it.

00:11:29
I know. And I look back.

00:11:31
And I've got a widow's peak as well, right?

00:11:33
I used to be called Dracula at school for that.

00:11:35
I actually shaved that off once when I was little.

00:11:38
Yeah, would you look Unicorn? Yeah, the Unicorn.

00:11:40
I started to have a headband. For a while I I did that, not

00:11:45
that, but I I wanted to look like Matilda because obviously I

00:11:50
copy movies as I I watched Matilda and Matilda has a

00:11:54
fringe. Oh, I've done that.

00:11:55
And so I was at a friend's house, not even in my own house,

00:11:58
their friend's house went into their bathroom.

00:11:59
I found scissors in their house and I looked at the Matilda like

00:12:02
the VHS and I saw that the fringe kind of went to about

00:12:06
middle of her. Form a bowl cut.

00:12:08
So I pulled the front bit of my hair down and just cut there,

00:12:11
not realizing when you cut a fringe you have to cut from the

00:12:13
back and there's a whole like thing you have to do.

00:12:16
So I just went like this and it went and I was like I may have

00:12:20
made an error. Literally everybody in the 90s,

00:12:24
I had the. If I can find a picture of it,

00:12:27
it's hilarious. The worst book fringe.

00:12:29
I'm really surprised I've not given myself bangs.

00:12:31
Everybody's given themselves bangs, right?

00:12:33
Yeah, but thank you. I haven't.

00:12:35
I haven't given myself bangs for the last few years.

00:12:37
I'm really, really proud. But yeah, I had a fringe that

00:12:40
was like this, like thick. Yeah.

00:12:42
Helmet, head, fringe. And then one time when we were

00:12:46
on holiday in Wales, my mum was in the shower and my granddad

00:12:50
said he was going to cut our hair.

00:12:52
Oh no, it was crazy. Granddad, granddad, no, he put a

00:12:54
ball on our head and he just cut like this.

00:12:59
So it was like all over the place.

00:13:00
So my mum came up and I kid you not, she had to fix it.

00:13:03
And my fringe started here and here like literally the top of

00:13:06
my ears and went all the way. Around I would kill my dad if he

00:13:09
kept my kids. Happy because me and my sister

00:13:11
just had matching like proper bowl cuts.

00:13:14
It was it's that's so bad but also like don't give your kid a

00:13:18
fringe when a hair is that thick.

00:13:19
I remember. The hairdressers.

00:13:21
Do you remember? Everyone had nits.

00:13:23
Do you remember? Yeah, nits.

00:13:24
Yeah. And when?

00:13:25
There'd be a nits epidemic and there's always like, patient

00:13:28
zero, and then they have to send a letter out.

00:13:29
Yeah, well, we knew who Patient zero.

00:13:32
Was you always know who patient? Because these poor twins, I

00:13:36
think they were in the lower school.

00:13:39
The mum found nits on these twin girls, freaked out, shaved both

00:13:42
their heads. What couldn't deal with it

00:13:44
shaved them so they these twin girls came in with proper like

00:13:48
11 old school at least there was two of them it wasn't 1 you know

00:13:52
imagine being a girl on your own and you're like but so everybody

00:13:55
knew who had the knits and they. Why would you do that?

00:13:59
But a tea tree, I know, but a tea tree in a calm, you know

00:14:01
what I mean? It was two of them that can't be

00:14:03
asked that. I mean, I had the old school

00:14:06
that now you just, I think you just whack a bit of medicine on

00:14:08
and they all fall out or something.

00:14:10
It's like, really? No, you have to still brush out.

00:14:11
Oh, do you have to? Yeah, because their eggs cling

00:14:14
to the individual bits of hair. Yeah.

00:14:16
Damn it. Yeah, you've got all that.

00:14:18
I've got to look forward to. Oh, and she's going to have

00:14:20

Yeah. Cut my sister's fringe with some

00:14:27
Pete Rabbit scissors. Like I think it is a.

00:14:28
Right of it's a 5 passage. Passage for any any sort of

00:14:32
like. I managed to hide my Unicorn, my

00:14:36
Unicorn fringe because I, I, I put like a thick headband across

00:14:40
the top of my and then I lasted maybe a day or two and then my

00:14:43
mum was like, take the headband. It was like.

00:14:48
I gave you like a little shrimp here when I took your extensions

00:14:51
out. Oh yeah, you cut my weave,

00:14:53
didn't you? You cut my weave out and then

00:14:54
cut my actual hair. Just one strand, but it was like

00:14:57
it. Was just a little tuft.

00:14:59
It was about, it was about 5 centimeters.

00:15:02
Is it? Yeah, she's got a real issue

00:15:05
with science. It was like this and then just

00:15:10
six months. Every time I put my hair for a

00:15:11
ponytail. I haven't stopped.

00:15:13
That was like an antenna, but. Yeah, yeah, that's good.

00:15:19
But yeah, no, I like my widow's peak now.

00:15:21
Actually, might was one of the first things my boyfriend

00:15:23
noticed when he met me. So, like, you know, we were,

00:15:26
like, friends for ages. Yeah, I first met him.

00:15:28
Him because like he was like, because obviously I was like, I

00:15:32
would, I'm not after anything, nothing at all.

00:15:35
And he was OK. So instead of really like trying

00:15:38
to be like because I asked him why he said it and instead of

00:15:40
and he was like, I was just trying to find things to say

00:15:42
that wasn't like, you know, anything other than a date vibe.

00:15:46
And he was like, he sat down and I was like, hi.

00:17:24
OK, so dear Mr. Nick, a thief, this doesn't have anything else,

00:17:31
she says spit on the ground. Actually one of my biggest.

00:17:35
Oh, when people spit. When people spit.

00:17:37
Yeah, by like, actually disgusting.

00:17:40
I actually walked past a man the other day that oh, he did.

00:17:43
He was just, he was just walking past and he just went like this,

00:17:46
like on his nose. I think I just so much nearly

00:17:48
blew out there. I did not explain.

00:17:50
That to like work. I don't, I don't think.

00:17:53
Did it work? No, I don't think so.

00:17:54
No, no, there's a bit of summer came out.

00:17:57
And I was like, I went to A and then he went, and then he went

00:18:01
and spat on the floor and I went, you're disgusting.

00:18:04
And he was like, oh, it was just like you, just like you just

00:18:07
emitting bodily fluids across the floor, like in the middle of

00:18:10
the street, like outside bloody Starbucks or the coffee shops.

00:18:14
Yeah, now when you see like yobs on the floor.

00:18:17
Disgusting. I remember actually on my way to

00:18:21
school and this is really funny. My friend, me and my friend

00:18:25
Danielle, big shout out to Danielle.

00:18:28
We would walk to school and we had this.

00:18:31
I don't know where it came from, but it was like a it is a paper

00:18:35
bag that we drew eyes on and called it the paper bag Monster,

00:18:38
right? And we had it every day.

00:18:40
In the 90s, you didn't have things.

00:18:42
You don't have a phone with paper bag monsters.

00:18:45
And there it flew off at one point and land and landed in

00:18:47
like something by this wall, by this woman's wall, right.

00:18:50
And we were gutted about it. So of respect we spat there like

00:18:54
for the paper bag monster every every day as we walked past just

00:18:57
we would go for the paper bag monster anyway, so we were doing

00:19:00
that every day we would walk to school, go past like RIP paper

00:19:04
bag monster and spit. I don't know where it came from,

00:19:06
I can't really remember. Anyway, we must have really lost

00:19:10
my mic there. Anyway, we must have been doing

00:19:12
this for. Weeks and weeks and one of the

00:19:13
days. We were like, RIP paper bag

00:19:15
monster. And then this man came running

00:19:18
out. He was like, get lost.

00:19:20
He was like, don't you, you stop fucking spitting on my mum's

00:19:23
wall. There's her property.

00:19:25
And we were like, it's for the paper bag monster.

00:19:28
We just ran and then we never got.

00:19:30
To He must have been watching you every day they like.

00:19:32
Girls are just spitting on my yeah, like proper chavs.

00:19:34
And actually, no, it was a mark of respect for the paper bag.

00:19:36
But where? Did you get that from?

00:19:38
I didn't, it was spitting. For I, I don't.

00:19:40
Know I, I know. This it this was the same girl I

00:19:42
wrote the letter to. DMS Nick Thief.

00:19:44
With right? OK, that makes.

00:19:45
Sense that explains everything. But.

00:19:47
Diani out with the name of the podcast.

00:19:50
The only spitting that that was appropriate and that I can be

00:19:53
down with don't. Say not insects.

00:19:57
No. Oh, a handshake.

00:20:00
No. Good.

00:20:01
Good. No, no.

00:20:03
Sorry if you're into that thing anyone, but no, no, no, no.

00:20:06
Absolutely, categorically no, no, It's a no for me.

00:20:10
Disgusting. That's a nick.

00:20:12
That's a bigot. Do not spit.

00:20:14
Do anything on yourself. No on me.

00:20:17
No, but no, even the spit handshake can't get down.

00:20:20
On that, but that no no is that is a code.

00:20:23
Of I'd rather blood. Well, that's the opposite that

00:20:26
you can like, well, yes, the true choices you have, isn't it?

00:20:28
You're like, do we do a blood handshake or do we spit on it?

00:20:31
No blood, I ain't doing spit. You cut me open and swap.

00:20:37
Make me bleed before I touch you off.

00:20:39
But but, but no, I've done a few, I've done a few spit

00:20:42
handshakes to, you know, seal some some heavy.

00:20:45
Still do it now, yeah. How about my house?

00:20:48
Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Barclays.

00:20:52
For the mortgage. Oh OK dear Mr. Nick, a thief.

00:20:57
Big ick for me is those blokes that wear no socks with smart

00:21:01
shoes. Oh yes, really?

00:21:04
I don't like a bare ankle, especially if they're wearing

00:21:06
like tight skinny jeans that are a bit short and then they've

00:21:09
just got like brogues on with no socks.

00:21:11
Oh no, it's the tight for me, it's the tight skinny.

00:21:13
Jeans. Well, that's also in it.

00:21:14
But like that, that's like another.

00:21:16
Level of it, but shoes that that don't and that you don't have.

00:21:19
Socks are men with like big upper bodies and skinny legs.

00:21:22
Can't be doing with that, sorry. Do your legs guys.

00:21:26
It's it's the near the I'm agreeing with when and when men

00:21:29
just wear like raw. I can't not think about it.

00:21:32
And I'm like, your feet are just in leather.

00:21:35
Raw dog in the leather. Raw dog in the leather there's.

00:21:38
Got to be sweaty in there. They're going to rub the

00:21:41
athlete's foot is. Real it's and I can't not.

00:21:44
I just wear, but then equally equally the people, the the, the

00:21:48
the like the little tight socks that you remember we used to get

00:21:50
when everyone used to wear Dolly.

00:21:51
Shoes. Oh, and you wear the little

00:21:52
little little toes. You just.

00:21:53
Literally hook over your toe and they heel.

00:21:56
Just curl up inside your toes. What's worse?

00:21:59
Oh, I don't know. OK, wait, question.

00:22:01
What's worse? I quite like an ankle sock.

00:22:03
A man in socks and sandals or brogues and no socks.

00:22:10
I'm going to say brogues and. No, I would do the same.

00:22:13
Socks and sandals. I'm not kind of here for it.

00:22:15
You kind of, it kind of gives the vibe that you're like so

00:22:18
cool that you don't care. You could style it out.

00:22:21
You could wear cool socks, Crocs, socks and Crocs.

00:22:26
Slightly less, no. I don't know if I prefer a croc.

00:22:29
I don't know the. Best money for OK, that's the

00:22:32
consensus we've. OK, that's a good one.

00:22:34
Yeah, but this is the skinny jeans with the brogues and the

00:22:38
especially poor guys. Sorry, you can't win.

00:22:40
I'm like, if you go to the gym, right, and you've got a big

00:22:43
upper body, fantastic. But if you're not doing your

00:22:45
legs, I know some people actually have slim legs, but if

00:22:47
you've got a big, big stacked upper body, you clearly work

00:22:50
out. Do your legs.

00:22:52
Yeah. Because you can topple over and

00:22:54
then don't wear skinny jeans. Or dress for your figure like

00:22:56
it's OK, but just dress. Equally though, they can't win

00:22:59
because if you've got mahoussive legs and they want to show them

00:23:01
off and put on skinny jeans, I can't deal with that either.

00:23:04
No I can't. I'm just like, no, either way,

00:23:06
I'm just really sorry. Just nobody needs a tight Jean

00:23:12
around the ankle. No, no, nobody does.

00:23:15
Women as well. Let's just keep it loose.

00:23:17
Skinny jeans that I heard they were coming back and like a

00:23:20
while ago and I was just like I can't get down with it.

00:23:22
You will not get me back in a skinny jeans.

00:23:23
How? Difficult.

00:23:24
Do you remember how difficult it was to get skinny jeans off in

00:23:26
the heat of the moment when you need to de robe?

00:23:30
I don't remember ever wearing skinny jeans during then.

00:23:33
You you didn't. But for us?

00:23:35
For us skinny Jean people, you would always, they would get

00:23:40
stuck because they're so tight. They need the thing and you're

00:23:43
trying to de robe and trying to do it sexily and you'd end up

00:23:47
having to be like or you would have to get them to help you

00:23:50
pull your jeans like inside out and then you get like one for

00:23:53
your foot would be stuck and then it would lose circulation.

00:23:55
It was it was a whole thing. Now you can just like unbutton

00:23:58
and drop. Yeah, because I'm all about the

00:24:01
oversized everything loose, not everything.

00:24:06
Oversized shoes I probably take a size 9.

00:24:12
Size shoe. You.

00:24:13
I'm an 8. Can't do that.

00:24:14
Sorry. Only 13.

00:24:15
I know. I'm 5 foot three.

00:24:17
Fine. You size 13.

00:24:19
Yeah. Anyway, dear Mr. Nick, a thief

00:24:24
is finding out he was taking me to the pictures that was 2 for

00:24:27
one, getting there for all the tickets to be sold out, then

00:24:31
taking me to the pub where I brought all my own drinks and he

00:24:33
waffled on all about himself. But his trick to Australia?

00:24:36
That's a very specific it. But I mean that is not a

00:24:40
universal it, but I understand. That would it could be out on a

00:24:43
date. I thought she was going to say

00:24:45
he took me for a 2 for one cinema and I was like that's not

00:24:47
a nick, that's a no. For the two guy no, but the two

00:24:50
for one cinema and getting then it all being sold out when?

00:24:53
Creeper. Nothing he can do.

00:24:54
About that though, he they're like it's like he's tried really

00:24:57
hard he's got there and he's like oh sold out no well just go

00:25:02
to the pub and then just talk about my trip to Australia No,

00:25:05
no, I hear that I remember going on a date once and this isn't

00:25:08
like me because you know me like I I'm not a dater yeah not at

00:25:11
all like the idea of dating frightens me I.

00:25:17
Oh, I love a date. Yeah, no, I've not like I, I, I

00:25:21
just don't. The whole thing of like multiple

00:25:23
people is no, I can't. I'm not too much pressure.

00:25:27
And so I went. The one date that I went on with

00:25:29
a random guy, I was like, I think 21.

00:25:35
You were young. I was young, 22.

00:25:37
I can't remember anyway. And I met him out in a club.

00:25:42
And then he was like, oh, let's swap numbers.

00:25:45
And then we met for dinner the next day.

00:25:46
I didn't remember what it looked like because I had quite a bit

00:25:48
to drink. And I met him and it was like.

00:25:51
And I had to do that thing, you know, we like you text your

00:25:54
friend. Yeah.

00:25:54
Please ring me. Oh, yeah.

00:25:56
To get out of. Oh, it was bad.

00:25:57
Sorry. Emergency popular.

00:26:00
Yeah. And he kept doing this with his

00:26:03
lips. Oh, and I was like, I was like,

00:26:06
I can't, I've got to, I need to leave.

00:26:08
Like, yeah, like just that stop. And he was just.

00:26:11
And then the worst thing was I had in my head that he was like

00:26:14
2524, He's 19 just. So I was like, goodbye.

00:26:20
But it was the mouth thing isn't, yeah.

00:26:23
And that matters when you're 21 and then 19, those three years.

00:26:26
No, but it does. It does.

00:26:28
Like now it doesn't matter. Like like it doesn't.

00:26:32
I don't know. It doesn't matter when you get

00:26:33
older. I don't know why.

00:26:35
OK, my, my ick with guys that I've dated is when they, when

00:26:44
they make pronunciation mistakes.

00:26:47
No, no, no, not all. It's like they're intelligent

00:26:50
people. They know it's wrong, but they

00:26:51
choose to say. It Oh my God, yes.

00:26:54
So I've got two of these I talked.

00:28:36
I'm like, what are you saying? Italian trying to be.

00:28:40
So that he knows that that is now because I I always bug him

00:28:43
about it. That's so funny.

00:28:44
OK, Dimas, naked thief. This is a This is universal.

00:28:47
OK, Missing teeth are rotten ones.

00:28:51
Oh yeah, rotten. Yeah, teeth are a big.

00:28:53
Thing, I mean, anyone take anyone in the world, beautiful

00:28:58
people, Margot Robbie, Johnny Depp, anyone take your front

00:29:01
tooth out. It's difficult.

00:29:04
That's hillbilly. It's just, it's just like, yeah,

00:29:07
just. Rotten teeth, I think.

00:29:08
I think though, that's probably a deeply, deeply like safety

00:29:13
evolutionary thing that we find that because.

00:29:16
If you're here we go every single podcast, we get a bit of

00:29:20
a bit of like a beautiful like it's theory or like a beautiful

00:29:24
like psychology lesson. I love.

00:29:25
This that one makes sense. That is, that's like an

00:29:28
intrinsically evolutionary ick that we have because if you

00:29:31
someone's got rotted. Teeth, they're infected.

00:29:34
It's like it's infected. It's infected.

00:29:36
And you're gone, and so you're. Have you got an absence?

00:29:38
Yeah. And back in the day, infected

00:29:41
teeth meant death. Yeah.

00:29:43
So, so if people miss teeth and stuff, they're not in a good

00:29:47
way. And it's a, it's a, it's a,

00:29:48
you're missing a sign of vitality.

00:29:50
So I think that one makes a lot of sense why we all because I

00:29:53
don't think anyone goes. Up to get your teeth done after

00:29:55
you've had your baby, apparently.

00:29:57
Because they take the calcium, don't they?

00:29:58
So go and get them checked, yeah?

00:30:00
My grandma when she was 27 had her second baby and with my mum

00:30:05
and after my mum was born every single one of her teeth fell.

00:30:09
And she did as well. 27 and it was like I mean back then

00:30:12
everyone got dentist by 30. But my nana's lost all her

00:30:15
teeth. Have to have a baby.

00:30:16
Yeah, babies. But I was like nobody, I haven't

00:30:19
heard of anyone do that. Now, obviously nowadays we've

00:30:21
got like diet, diet and dental care and everything.

00:30:25
My teeth have been bleeding quite a lot.

00:30:27
That's normal though. Apparently it is normal, but

00:30:29
it's also like horrible. Brush your teeth hard with HG as

00:30:33
well I imagine. Not that I know when their

00:30:37
dating profile just says own house, own car, own teeth.

00:30:42
Oh, a lot of teeth. When the dating profile says

00:30:44
that yeah, that would ick me out.

00:30:46
I I. Why do you need to mention that

00:30:47
you've got your own teeth? That does protect too much, Sir,

00:30:51
No. No, no, no, no, no.

00:30:53
Maybe it's a good thing because evolutionary, oh, maybe he, he's

00:30:57
like, I know that if I've got good teeth, I'm a good mate.

00:31:01
No, no disease here. Look.

00:31:04
Oh, someone who's put. This is trolling me actually.

00:31:06
Anyone with a Citroen tattoo on their wrist?

00:31:08
I have got a Viking rune on my wrist that does look like a

00:31:11
Citroen tattoo. That ruined me.

00:31:14
Gavin, that means create your own reality.

00:31:16
Oh, I thought I was having my nails done this way.

00:31:18
This way we sit more. Which also means create your own

00:31:22
logo. Create your own reality.

00:31:24
But I was sat in and the nails held on that long ago.

00:31:27
And the girl was like, oh, I have that too.

00:31:28
She was like, create your own reality.

00:31:29
I was like, yes, but everyone thinks it's citrus.

00:31:32
Either just was like I walked. Straight into that, didn't know.

00:31:34
This one mate, that was. No, it means.

00:31:36
Create for anyone not watching, she's got like an it's like an

00:31:39
arrow, like a double arrow, double arrow, Citroen logo.

00:31:42
But me and my me, my best earring got it matching anyway.

00:31:46
OK, this one I can get down with.

00:31:48
OK, Davis, Nick Thief. It's for me.

00:31:52
Stinking, honking breath. I dated a couple of guys with

00:31:56
minging breath and there is no need for it.

00:31:58
I had to hold my own breath whilst they talked.

00:32:01
That is a big it. A lot of dental things.

00:32:05
Yeah, a lot of mouth. Hydra Halitosis.

00:32:09
Halitosis. My dad has halitosis and it was

00:32:13
the bane of my mum's marriage. It was.

00:32:20
It's medical though. It's.

00:32:21
Medical It's like medical bad breath.

00:32:23
What's that caused by, like them little white things that you

00:32:26
get? What are them little white

00:32:27
things that you get sometimes like, you know, in the back of

00:32:29
your mouth or you get them like you see people removing them on

00:32:32
like behind the tonsils? A little when your tonsils get

00:32:35
like white. Pastel things, yeah.

00:32:37
And they smell. Yeah.

00:32:38
Really bad. Apparently, yeah.

00:32:40
Is that. I don't think he's got that.

00:32:42
He's got medical halitosis and I'm scared that I've got it now.

00:32:46
Thanks to our genes, I have that really bad morning breath

00:32:51
because I have a retainer. Yeah, I have a grind.

00:32:54
Guard and the retainer gets clammy.

00:32:57
I put it in and I put my grind guard in.

00:33:00
You know, the fizzy dentist. That dentist sticks.

00:33:02
So what dogs eat, aren't they? But I can tell it's bad because

00:33:07
my dog will come up and try and say hello in the morning and

00:33:10
even the dogs like the dog thinks it's bad.

00:33:15
That's really bad. Well, you would be an egg.

00:33:19
Oh, this is a good one. And Dimas and Leafy looking at

00:33:24
their phone while they're talking to while you're talking

00:33:26
to them. They'd be left with their phone.

00:33:28
Quick, Sharp. Yeah.

00:33:31
Yeah, that's a isn't it? And I also think it's really all

00:33:35
probably guilty of it as well at some point.

00:33:38
When I do it, yes it. Is bad.

00:33:41
Like our attention spans are so bad.

00:33:44
Yeah, I think we all need to be more aware of that.

00:33:46
So thank you so much for that. Sucked with sliders big.

00:33:50
Not for me, not for me. I think it can be cool.

00:33:52
Unless. They wear them.

00:33:53
It's like a wedding or something.

00:33:54
And I'm like, you know, wear some nice shoes with socks.

00:33:58
I mean, if you were wearing only socks and sliders and nothing

00:34:03
else, that would look weird. There's like a backwards Winnie

00:34:05
the Pooh. Yeah, that actually that's a

00:34:07
nick for me. That's a nick for me.

00:34:16
What's your egg? My ick is when they're just

00:34:18
wearing AT shirt and no bottoms and like no boxes.

00:34:21
No. So they're just walking around

00:34:23
with their bottom now. We need the poohing.

00:34:24
We need the poohing. Yeah, like.

00:34:25
Yeah, so my egg is Winnie the Pooh.

00:34:26
It's a funny egg. No, no, that's Nick I.

00:34:29
I don't like it when I do it my ick.

00:34:30
Is when someones you think that you're both naked and then

00:34:35
afterwards realized I've been wearing socks the whole time.

00:34:37
That aches me out. I'm like these socks off.

00:34:39
Oh, I'm not a feet person. Inside the one was worse.

00:34:42
The stage up from that it was Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and

00:34:44
socks. So you just removed your

00:34:46
trousers and pants. But yeah.

00:34:47
And. You kept yeah, just keeping the

00:34:50
top half. No, like, oh, just like when

00:34:51
you're wandering round and just Winnie the Pooh, like it is

00:34:54
Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, Yeah, it's a foot S footy

00:34:57
ick. I at the moment though, to be

00:34:59
fair, for comedy, I do the best Winnie the Pooh right now

00:35:02
because I've got the belly. So if I just walk around and

00:35:04
just a T-shirt, which I have done it, it is really funny.

00:35:11
OK, dear Miss Nick Thief, if she's crossing the road and

00:35:13
pushes the button for the Green Man but walks before it comes on

00:35:16
because there's no traffic and when a car arrives there's a red

00:35:19
light but no pedestrian, who really doesn't like the

00:35:24
inconvenience That how? Dare you mess up the regulations

00:35:27
of traffic law? Very logical person I.

00:35:29
Mean that doesn't ick me out, but if I was driving it would

00:35:33
annoy me that I'd have to stop or but it doesn't.

00:35:36
Ick me like imagine on a date. Sorry, can I just ask you sorry,

00:35:39
sorry, do you? Do you push the the button for

00:35:42
the Green Man but then go when there's no traffic?

00:35:44
So that leaves the man or the woman driving stood at the

00:35:47
lights when there's no pedestrians.

00:35:50
Yeah, sometimes. Sorry I can't continue with.

00:35:52
This and do you watch Love Island?

00:35:53
No, it's like it's a weird list. My mum, I just remember my mum,

00:35:58
there was a, she was not very confident driving and she

00:36:00
didn't, she couldn't turn out onto a main road in Lewisham.

00:36:04
So she used to get me or my brother when we were very small

00:36:06
to get out of the car, run across to press the light to

00:36:10
make the car stop so that she could get out.

00:36:12
That's quite clever. And so she'd be like, go run,

00:36:14
run to the lights and we'd be running like press the light and

00:36:16
run back again and then. All the lesser.

00:36:19
Yeah. Oh, this 1A mustache that grows

00:36:22
over their mouth. Oh, when it curls over the lips.

00:36:27
Yeah, yeah. When it's like just little bits

00:36:29
of hair that come across the lip or like a little brush, yeah.

00:36:33
Like like, like groom that guy out of Futurama that.

00:36:37
Yeah, you. Mean.

00:36:39
Yeah, it's like you've got an octopus fat mouth, Yeah.

00:36:41
Yeah, yeah. And oh, when there's bits of

00:36:43
food in it, I know a big gig for me when that little bit of white

00:36:47
foam collects at the corner of someone's mouth.

00:36:53
Yeah, we had a teacher that. No, can't, no, that's

00:36:58
disgusting. That's disgusting.

00:36:59
Like give your mouth a dab or like have a have a sip of water.

00:37:02
And what's the etiquette? For saying, oh, you've got a

00:37:05
bit. Of got a bit of.

00:37:06
Foam crust in your mouth. Like, yeah.

00:37:08
What is that, like, mouth froth? Like slight rabies?

00:37:11
Like what? What is it like?

00:37:12
I don't know, like like a frothing?

00:37:15
Yeah, my dog froths when she's been for a run in her mouth.

00:37:18
Sir. Yeah, that's gross.

00:37:20
That yeah, that's a big. And I've had, yeah, when you see

00:37:22
the, the, the really cut, it's like backwards eyelashes over

00:37:26
their lip. Yeah, it's like you want to just

00:37:27
go and just a little trim, just. Trim that.

00:37:29
Just a little bit of wax. You know, if you've got a

00:37:30
mustache, Great wax. It up, Yeah.

00:37:32
Or when people's eyebrows hairs start to like grow along.

00:37:35
Like, do you know what I mean? Like there's fish there ever at?

00:37:39
The bottom of the oh God. Oh, OK, this is gross.

00:37:46
Do you miss Nick Thief asking me if I have Snapchat at over 30

00:37:51
years old? Yeah.

00:37:53
Who Snapchats at 30 years old? I think some people still.

00:37:56
Do sorry if you do. I mean, I don't, I came off like

00:38:00
years ago. Yeah, I don't have Snapchat

00:38:02
anymore, but apparently like, so my sister who's 16, all their

00:38:06
conversations are over Snapchat. Oh really?

00:38:08
So that's all the young UNS. Yeah, all of our conversations

00:38:11
are on Snapchat. Did you know, because obviously

00:38:12
Snapchat is it's you feel safe because they all disappear and

00:38:15
everything. Yeah, but I was watching my

00:38:17
'cause I love like true crime murder shows and watching a

00:38:21
forensic, a digital forensics episode and they were like, Oh

00:38:25
no, it's, it's a complete fabrication that they disappear.

00:38:27
Yeah, of course Snapchat retain every single image.

00:38:32
Video whereas WhatsApp. Don't WhatsApp.

00:38:34
Don't. But yeah, all these kids are

00:38:36
going on Snapchat. Yeah, and it's caught so many

00:38:38
people out, like from a law perspective, because people

00:38:41
have. They've, they've, they've.

00:38:43
Messaged or they've they've thinking that Snapchat

00:38:45
disappears, they've organised like going to kill someone or

00:38:49
beat someone up or they've or they've taken ever they've got

00:38:51
evidence. That they think is going to

00:38:52
disappear. This or like attacks and stuff,

00:38:54
Yeah. And the police just have full

00:38:57
cooperation with Snapchat and they will pull up anything you

00:39:00
need. Or I guess you could even if you

00:39:03
knew someone inside Snapchat, you could like access it or pay,

00:39:05
pay them for the access. So the fact is it does not

00:39:08
disappear kids. So do not send nudie videos on

00:39:12
Snapchat because they are stored in an archive.

00:39:14
Somebody else has got them, just not the person you sent them.

00:39:17
Yeah. Exactly.

00:39:18
OK, yeah, I get this one. I've had some real issues with

00:39:22
this in my life, on me, Dimas, Nick Thief and he says eyebrows

00:39:27
that look like the Nike logo or airbag lips and Krispy Kreme

00:39:31
Phyllis. Oh, I guess what he means like.

00:39:35
Krispy Kreme Kreme doughnut like face like those are so.

00:39:39
Brown. And airbag lips.

00:39:42
But eyebrows look like the Nike logo.

00:39:44
Had those in the 90s and then they went really thick.

00:39:47
In fact, when I met you, my eyebrows were like awful.

00:39:52
Like I look back at pictures of when we met with my Croydon hair

00:39:55
facelift and like the thickest eyebrows that I just drew on

00:39:59
with the Anastasia Beverly Hills stuff I just thought I had and

00:40:02
they were. I look back and like, Oh my God.

00:40:05
I've had an eyebrow shock. I'm like what but?

00:40:06
I was like my eyebrows awful. They were awful and I thought

00:40:09
they were OK and I was in my 20s.

00:40:11
Like there was no excuse. For that we're all victim to

00:40:14
it's the victim of the fashion of the eyebrows, because they

00:40:16
changed completely. Yeah, but mine were, mine were

00:40:19
like clucking them really thin. Was it?

00:40:22
Yeah to that like 1 was really drawn on thick and the other one

00:40:25
was like another shape. It was like, it's like a yeah,

00:40:27
looking at a snake and a worm. But I I awful, I had blonde hair

00:40:31
and basically drawn on black eyebrows and you do the and you

00:40:34
had to do the box square, the two square boxes.

00:40:36
And I and I was, I was not letting go of that for long.

00:40:39
And the winged eye liner, I did not let go of that for years.

00:40:42
Do you remember? Yeah, I was like.

00:40:45
Eyeshadow you're like no, just a lined a winged.

00:40:48
Eyeliner with a wet What are they called?

00:40:50
Like a. Like a wet liner, A wet.

00:40:52
Liner and a thick boxy brow. I look back now and I'm like,

00:40:55
people, why do people tell me? And I did a course in eyebrows

00:40:58
and lashes. God dear Miss Nickafe thief.

00:41:04
Gosh. We should do this when I'm not

00:41:07
pregnant. We should do this or drunk

00:41:08
episode. Or we should just get drunk one

00:41:10
episode. Would you guys like that?

00:41:11
Yeah, that would be really fun. I can't wait to get you drunk

00:41:14
after you've been pregnant. I've been really.

00:41:16
Drunk a lot throughout your pregnancy?

00:41:17
You have, I've just been like sick and sober and you've just

00:41:21
been having a great time. Oh.

00:41:27
Dear Mr. Nick, a thief if they've ever formed into a radio

00:41:30
station for a shout out. Of themselves.

00:41:35
I don't know. Or for someone else who's quite

00:41:37
cute, do you think? But if they phoned in, if

00:41:40
they're just not. Alone in the car, on their own.

00:41:42
No, no, if they've if they've called for themselves, that's

00:41:44
weird. But like.

00:41:45
But if you like, I'd like to shout out my Nan or something

00:41:48
like that. Yeah, that's quite cute.

00:41:50
Yeah, But maybe if I'm called in like Worth delivered, doing a

00:41:53
long road trip with the ring radio like radio form, like how

00:41:55
you can shut me up please. It's not, it's not an ick, but

00:41:59
it does annoy me when when they, they, I think people go, they're

00:42:04
calling into the radio and they go, OK, you got 10 seconds to

00:42:08
like say yours. Thank you.

00:42:09
And they're like everyone's like Uncle Bill and Peter and Nan,

00:42:12
Charlotte and Nan. And they just literally like do

00:42:15
just list like 50 names and I'm like, this is the most, but

00:42:18
you're on national. Waiting for that moment.

00:42:19
There, you're on. National radio.

00:42:21
This is so boring. They need to read up their

00:42:23
family tree. I just been like.

00:42:26
Similar threads to this. I get quite icked out when

00:42:30
people wish people a happy birthday on Facebook or whatever

00:42:38
and they're not on it. So like, like, like if you're

00:42:42
wishing that you're 1 year old a happy birthday and they're not

00:42:45
on Facebook, like I'm all for being like happy birthday to my

00:42:48
gorgeous girl. Here's some pictures of her,

00:42:50
blah, blah, blah. Like we had a wonderful party

00:42:52
like sharing that, but being like happy birthday Isabella,

00:42:55
you are the sun in my sky. And it's just like, but she's

00:42:58
not reading this. She's really tagged and B, she's

00:43:02
3. Like so like, yeah, I'm all for

00:43:05
sharing that be like happy birthday to my little girl and

00:43:07
like putting that pictures up. But if you're directly

00:43:10
addressing them. Yeah, no, if we think about it,

00:43:13
the way I see Facebook, the feed, I look at it like a wall

00:43:18
and it's the equivalent of just shouting stuff at a wall.

00:43:23
Thank you, Isabella. How are they going?

00:43:24
Today's been a really bad day, actually.

00:43:26
Don't talk to me in hospital. In hospital.

00:43:29
What's? Wrong her nothing day and me and

00:43:31
I just. See millions of people just

00:43:33
shouting at a wall. Shouting into the voice,

00:43:36
shouting and stuff and attention please.

00:43:38
Attention. I'm deleting Facebook.

00:43:41
I'm deleting my friends. If you have survived the call,

00:43:43
well done. Or share this if you don't want

00:43:47
the government to see your private information.

00:43:50
Shocking video missing dog. It's honestly, it's just like

00:43:53
my. Stand balls like no, you're in

00:43:55
the north of that England, and that was three years ago.

00:44:01
I don't. I'm not a Facebook status user.

00:44:04
I wasn't the day I. Was that's what we did forget to

00:44:07
do this on our last podcast, our note to self.

00:44:09
Yeah, anyway, nearly there. Oh my God, Somebody said about

00:44:12
the spit in the corner of the mouth.

00:44:14
We've done this now. This one.

00:44:17
Yeah. DMS Nick thief someone who

00:44:20
starts a sentence with to be honest are I'm not going to lie.

00:44:27
More than you are, dude. That's an immediate lie.

00:44:29
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, but. I'm not going to lie, right?

00:44:33
Not going to lie, but you are. Why would you?

00:44:37
Yeah, I get that. Why do you need to preference

00:44:39
whether, what anything you're saying?

00:44:40
I'm going to assume what you're saying is the truth.

00:44:43
If you have to preface that you're not going to lie.

00:44:47
Why? Why?

00:44:49
So. What you say before was a lie

00:44:51
then. Or like, like, maybe that's why

00:44:53
it's her Nick. Yeah.

00:44:56
OK, at one time early in dating a woman and I will get in to

00:45:03
know each other questions. After an answer I said that's

00:45:06
very cryptic of you. She got mad at my word choice

00:45:09
after she got very mad at my word choice.

00:45:11
After some back and forth she thought cryptic meant looking

00:45:15
like the tails guy from the crypt looking like the tails

00:45:18
from the crypt guy, and she thought I was calling her ugly

00:45:21
like the crypt keeper. But that level of vocabulary

00:45:24
comprehension turned me off. Oh, right, yeah.

00:45:28
OK, so not be not knowing the lexicon, I not having a wide

00:45:31
range of vocabulary. I I think yes, when not, not,

00:45:37
not, not to be like a academic snob.

00:45:41
I'm not that academic, but yeah, I think like when people are

00:45:44
really quite thick, maybe that's not a nick.

00:45:48
I think I gave my boyfriend the ick the other day.

00:45:51
Why? What did you?

00:45:52
Do. Did you just have a moment?

00:45:54
You see, no, I am academic, right?

00:45:56
Yeah. And I which believe it or not,

00:45:57
is that between the two of us, I am very academic, even though

00:46:00
I'm I come across not very. But.

00:46:04
I do. I'm not very well travelled and

00:46:08
geography is not my strong. Yeah, and pronunciations of

00:46:15
stuff. What did you do?

00:46:16
I said. What did I said, oh, we're about

00:46:20
going to France. And I was like, oh, let's go to

00:46:22
Marseille. Oh, no, Marcel, it is.

00:46:25
It's Marseille. Marseille.

00:46:28
No, we're both doing it. And then oh.

00:46:32
You called it Marcel, but it's Marseille.

00:46:35
It's. Something like that, Yeah.

00:46:36
I was like Marciel or whatever it was.

00:46:38
And he was like, what? And I was like, sorry, just

00:46:41
because you've been to the South of France several times,

00:46:44
Marciel. And then I said another one and

00:46:46
I got the yeah, I just got the whole thing wrong.

00:46:47
And I think I ate him out. I, I got quite a few

00:46:50
denunciations of words. Oh, and he's very, very smart,

00:46:53
isn't he? Very.

00:46:53
Very intelligent. Very intelligent and I think I

00:46:57
ate him out. He's got 2 masters.

00:47:00
He's very. Intelligent.

00:47:02
I have two GCS. ES they actually have the best

00:47:06
GCS ES in my school. Thank you.

00:47:07
Yeah. You are really a buffin, aren't

00:47:09
you? Aren't you?

00:47:10
Yeah, yeah, you're a buffin. Yeah, apparently anyway, many of

00:47:16
us are there. Bits of the trousers don't even

00:47:17
need to go into that. Oh, my God, the people that do

00:47:23
the hardship with their hands. Yeah.

00:47:25
Oh, that's a bigot for me. Yeah.

00:47:26
When people are like, hey, I love you, I love you.

00:47:29
But Pavan, that's really millennial now, isn't it?

00:47:31
Apparently. Yeah.

00:47:32
This. Apparently is millennial.

00:47:34
So what's the Gen. Z?

00:47:35
The. Gen.

00:47:35
Z1. It's like a weird thing that you

00:47:37
have to do with like and you do this or like, is it this?

00:47:40
I can't remember. It's like really weird, like

00:47:43
look, my hands are shaking, but it's like, it's like, I can't

00:47:46
even remember what it is, but it's like one with a finger.

00:47:48
Like it's like there's a different version of it, but

00:47:50
apparently that's very millennial and I can't.

00:47:52
I don't like that either. If anyone does that to me, I'm

00:47:54
like, actually, no, it depends. It's cute.

00:47:56
Like if it's like a bit like, because sometimes it's cute and

00:47:59
it's like a bit camp and it's like fun.

00:48:00
It's like love you. And it's just like, yeah, that's

00:48:02
fine. No, I'm not.

00:48:03
Seriously. I'm not a heart.

00:48:04
You're. Not even a hugger I have to

00:48:06
force. I have to force myself upon her

00:48:09
to give her a cuddle. I don't.

00:48:10
She's not. I'm not going to do that.

00:48:13
I'm not going to do that. OK, this is one for you, and

00:48:16
this is going to be the last one.

00:48:20
Oh, actually this is quite. I'll do too.

00:48:22
So he says when somebody uses the word ick to describe

00:48:25
something absolutely normal. Oh, that's kind of the point,

00:48:32
no? I guess I get what they're

00:48:33
saying. They're saying when when someone

00:48:35
has an ick about something that's just really normal,

00:48:37
that's an ick. So like what?

00:48:41
I don't even know what an example of that would be.

00:48:43
So like if someone has a Nick, they'll be like, Oh my God, he

00:48:45
just like, he really kicked me out because he just like held

00:48:47
the door open for me or something.

00:48:48
It's like that's. Oh yeah, behaviour, yeah.

00:48:51
Don't. Now I've got an nick with you

00:48:52
because. You need a therapy.

00:48:55
Yeah. And this final one is dear Miss

00:48:59
Nick, a thief. I have a Nick with any man who

00:49:02
calls himself an alpha. Yes, that's got to be actually

00:49:08
up. There, that has got to be up

00:49:10
there. Anyone.

00:49:11
Anyone who calls themself an alpha automatically is not an

00:49:17
alpha. You, the real alphas, do not go

00:49:20
around talking about being alphas.

00:49:22
No. And I, I saw, I saw someone call

00:49:26
out, you see, you're obviously like boys, you or men who want

00:49:29
to be alphas, They follow all of the alpha podcasts and things.

00:49:35
So someone said, well what? What are you doing?

00:49:38
Following what? Who follows alphas?

00:49:41
Betas so you. Automatically, if you even

00:49:45
subscribe that, then they've actually like completely

00:49:49
debunked that whole like alpha wolf thing anyway.

00:49:51
So it's all based on a load of crap.

00:49:54
But yeah, because the the the what they thought was the alpha

00:49:58
and the Wolf Pack actually isn't the real alpha is actually at

00:50:00
the back making sure everybody's safe and herded and they're not

00:50:04
centre fronts. Anyway, the point is is, but I

00:50:06
was like, that's a really good point.

00:50:08
If you're following like alpha podcast because you think you

00:50:11
want to be an alpha or you're trying to become an alpha, the

00:50:13
very the very thing of follow yeah means you're automatically

00:50:17
not. But these men know that they're

00:50:19
not alphas, don't they? Because like, isn't that, that

00:50:21
there's a whole movement where they know they're not alphas?

00:50:23
And there's the the Oh my God, my brain.

00:50:29
What do you mean you're talking in cells?

00:50:31
Yes, and they know that the in cells that's it like so like

00:50:33
they know that they're not alphas and then they're creating

00:50:35
something else. It's it's a weird like thing and

00:50:38
that and then they're finding power in that now is what like

00:50:40
it's it's all very toxic and run a mile.

00:50:43
Have you heard someone actually call themselves an alpha?

00:50:48
I have. Have you?

00:50:49
No, I haven't. I've had people go no, and, and,

00:50:53
and I don't mind this like because I've I, I like, yeah,

00:50:57
like wouldn't. I've had people go, no, I'm a

00:51:00
man, I'll do that. And I'm like, OK, OK, like I can

00:51:03
do it and I probably will, but it's nice to be LED.

00:51:07
I do think like especially like feeling more feminine and

00:51:11
feeling more like, I think it is important to feel safe and

00:51:14
secure because it allows you to be more playful and more like

00:51:18
that's. Different to someone calling

00:51:20
themselves. So I've not had anybody ever go

00:51:21
Oh no, no, no, I'm an alpha. And that no, because that I

00:51:25
would one of my it was really they wouldn't be within my

00:51:27
vicinity. They wouldn't be within myself.

00:51:29
No, they they were very much in my vicinity and I was dating

00:51:32
this guy who mentioned and he just said it in conversation and

00:51:36
was like, we are because, because I'm an alpha.

00:51:40
And I remember going sorry, sorry.

00:51:43
An alpha No, no, you're just you're just a man to.

00:51:45
Describe this man in particular. He was like Peter Pettigrew.

00:51:55
That was his vibe. The rat from Harry Potter.

00:51:57
Yeah, Scabbers. Why were you Scabbers?

00:52:01
You don't know for your scabbers, Yes.

00:52:03
Why were you dating? Who?

00:52:04
How? Why were you dating?

00:52:05
I'm not going to name him. No, but you can name him after.

00:52:06
I'm going to, I'm going to find out.

00:52:08
But I think I probably know him, but I remember him literally

00:52:11
saying in conversation because you know some because I'm quite

00:52:14
an alpha. Oh, I know who this is.

00:52:16
Yeah. And I was like, in my head, like

00:52:19
Peter Fetter gear. No, that's not attractive.

00:52:22
It was that. That is a red flag on ick.

00:52:24
That's a red flag. So this is the thing, like what

00:52:36
you know now, not what I know now.

00:52:37
I would have been like, yeah, like, yeah, there's a lot of

00:52:39
things like, like now I'd be like, no, absolutely.

00:52:42
Yeah. First row crank.

00:52:43
Bye. Bye.

00:52:44
Yeah. But yeah, you, you learn People

00:52:46
who? Say that they're an alpha or

00:52:48
even just like, yeah, subscribe to that whole thing.

00:52:50
Is it? It is, I don't.

00:52:52
Care. I care about who you are as a

00:52:54
person. Don't really care you're social.

00:52:57
So, yeah, well, that was it. Thank you guys for sharing.

00:52:59

00:53:01
