Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. At Mint Mobile, we

0:03

like to do the opposite of what Big

0:05

Wireless does. They charge you a lot, we

0:07

charge you a little. So naturally, when they

0:09

announced they'd be raising their prices due to

0:11

inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due

0:13

to not hating you. That's right! We're cutting

0:15

the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a

0:17

month to just $15 a month. Give

0:21

it a try at mintmobile.com. $45

0:25

up front for 3 months plus taxes and fees. Promote it for new

0:27

customers for a limited time. Unlimited more than 40GB per month. Mint Slows.

0:29

Full terms at mintmobile.com. Oh,

0:33

Judith, we've got a lot to pack in. We'll

0:36

give them three seconds of the

0:38

theme tune. Oh, fucking exhausted.

0:42

Before we even start, we just want to let you

0:44

all know. Oh, Judith, you're still

0:46

in Cornwall, aren't you? I'm still in Cornwall,

0:48

but do you know what the twins are

0:50

here? It's quite a small flat, isn't it?

0:52

Well, it's not small. It depends how many

0:54

people you've got in it. Well, it's three

0:57

adults and two twins. That's

1:00

how twins work. Well, that's very true.

1:03

That's very true. The problem

1:05

is, I tell you what the problem is, when

1:07

we planned this break ages and ages

1:09

ago, Easter, you know, Sunday,

1:12

yes. Well, it's

1:14

Sunday, spring, and you

1:16

know, the down on the beach. That exactly. Take

1:18

a picnic. Yes. Out

1:21

all day. No telling no screens.

1:24

Nothing. Boys fresh and free

1:26

with cornish pasties. Roaming, roaming,

1:30

trotting through the cows' lips merrily, merrily.

1:33

What she said to me, probably

1:36

at the time, but I don't think I heard

1:38

it. I didn't hear it.

1:40

She said, I might have to work

1:42

while we're there. Oh, that'll be fine,

1:44

darling. Oh, that'll be absolutely fine. I

1:46

must have said at the time. You

1:48

thought she then, picking up a couple

1:51

of emails, sort of maybe taking a

1:53

break at lunchtime. Yes. Maybe again. You

1:55

might do an extra hour at tea

1:57

time. Well, she just caught up on

1:59

some paperwork. What does

2:01

it actually mean? Well, she

2:03

starts at nine, she's out the coffee shop and

2:05

she'll be there. She might put back at lunchtime just

2:08

for long enough for them to say, mum

2:10

mum mum! And then she goes, mum mum

2:12

mum! Don't go, don't go! Yeah,

2:15

clinging, clinging. Clinging, oh

2:17

clinging, I know. And then back, I

2:20

don't know, four o'clock or something? So

2:22

basically, and it's rained. Oh, it hasn't

2:24

stopped, Jenny. It's barely finished. Yeah,

2:27

and then, okay, okay, right. So

2:29

it's tough. It's just

2:31

tough. Yeah, I

2:33

know. It's making me laugh

2:36

quite a lot inside. I'm

2:38

trying really hard to sound

2:40

sympathetic on the outside, but

2:42

inside I'm crying. I

2:47

just imagine Sienna getting to that

2:49

coffee shop and just sort of flunking

2:51

down. Oh yeah. And just going,

2:54

you know, I don't have to start work really, you

2:56

know. I'm going to

2:58

have a double frappuccino and an almond croissant.

3:00

I'm going to look at Instagram and Twitter

3:02

for a good hour and then I'll dive

3:05

in. But leave

3:07

it back at four o'clock because, you know, it's

3:09

the bedtime I can't cope with. Oh, I know what

3:11

you mean. What, try two of them? Well, I don't

3:13

know how you do it. I don't

3:15

know how you do it without, you know, a

3:18

little drop of something, a little knock-off. Oh

3:21

God, in heaven. Bluey's the only way we

3:23

get through it. Bluey, honestly, last

3:25

time... What time you start? You know,

3:28

because I imagined you'd be... I just

3:30

thought that you'd be really, really screen-cautious.

3:33

And I'm really glad that you can't... Well,

3:35

you start off that way, don't you? You

3:38

start off being screen-cautious with... No, oh no,

3:40

Edd. No, it starts quite early. Well,

3:42

she's out all day. She doesn't know, does she?

3:44

I remember Daisy saying to us, and Daisy, as

3:46

we know, is a great source of wisdom

3:49

for us, isn't she? Yeah, absolutely. And

3:51

I remember Daisy saying to us right at the beginning,

3:53

can I just say to you both that in my

3:55

book, if my parents are looking after... My

3:58

Mum's looking after the boys... It's

4:00

a question of my eyes, exactly.

4:03

Exactly Zero. Any kind of the lies

4:07

5:52

5:58

as on they use is sarah I

6:00

was there at the time to give you a shot. I'm

6:02

so sorry. Okay, pull yourself

6:05

together now, Judith. Oh God, it's been

6:07

a long week. It's me being Timo,

6:09

I'm happy. It's

6:12

just away from his fins. Right,

6:14

come on. Okay,

6:16

where's my cake and then he's just got them in

6:18

the back. He's next to us. I have heard that

6:21

they have a couple of tantrums. Well,

6:23

we've been trying to connect and everything is all quiet.

6:26

He's working, he's working. Anyway,

6:29

it's vegetable oil,

6:32

sugar, the bananas, flour.

6:34

Yeah, right. And

6:36

Arthley, he snatched it out of my

6:38

hand. He snatched it. Yeah, my

6:40

God. Phoebe loved it. I had another

6:42

little baby around yesterday, Ayla, she's only

6:45

ever earned one. Never. Yep, yep. Well, there's

6:47

got to be sugar in it or some

6:49

secret. Yeah, loads of sugar. Oh,

6:51

okay. Oh yeah. The sugar and

6:53

bananas and the glue of the

6:56

vegetable oil. Yeah. The

6:58

gourd. Yeah. Okay, right.

7:01

And I didn't read the instructions properly because, you know, I got bored. Oh,

7:03

you've got a bit of my disease there. Yeah,

7:05

totally, totally. So, anyway, I

7:07

got it out of the oven, took a picture, put it on the Instagram. Took

7:10

a picture. You scab. I'll

7:12

tell you, it looked incredible. And

7:15

then I left it, I left it to cool. And

7:18

then, going downstairs, there was

7:20

a sinkhole in the middle of it. It's

7:23

a sinkhole. It just collapsed in on

7:25

itself, right? And it was

7:27

totally raw in the middle, totally enough to be

7:29

raw. And it had been out of the

7:31

oven by this point for five hours, right? Right. And

7:34

it really lost interest in me. Five

7:36

hours. And as a thought, it's not milked.

7:39

So, just put it back in the oven for another 20 minutes.

7:41

Did you? Did you sort of give it a little

7:44

jouche up? Yeah, and you know what? It kind

7:46

of rebaked itself. It rose again. It was

7:48

like a biblical thing. It

7:52

rose again. Well, it's Easter. That's

7:54

very apt, isn't it? It wasn't it? Was it like

7:56

a double baked? Have you ever

7:58

ordered one of those double baked? I've had triple cut

8:00

chips. Oh, triple cut, that's right. So it is a bit of

8:02

a thing, isn't it? It's a kind of a thing. It's the

8:04

only way of doing it. Anyway, next time I do it, but

8:06

I've now got two things in my... well, it's part of time.

8:16

Someone a bit like you gave me a recipe

8:18

book. You didn't know you very

8:20

well, did they? No. No. And

8:23

I've now got two recipes I've written down in

8:26

it. I've

8:28

got two, and my flat jack that I've

8:30

got from the listener, and my

8:32

vegan is a BBC Good Food one. It's the first

8:35

one that comes up. Oh, was there good actually? I

8:37

thought next time, I thought let's start and time do

8:39

this. I make one for Arlo, and then make another

8:41

one for Jeff with walnuts in. Oh,

8:44

you devil. No, I'm sorry. Yeah, I

8:46

don't want one with a garage, whatever

8:48

it was. I'd quit about... Would it

8:51

be the oil? No. I

8:53

wouldn't. I don't think it

8:55

was uncanny. Uncanny baking

8:58

something with vegetable oil. I thought that was

9:00

like a... Oh, it's like carrot cake, isn't it? I think

9:02

carrot cake has oil in it. There you go, Jeff. Yeah,

9:06

I know, but anyway, listen,

9:08

let's get back to your teeth. Let's start

9:10

with the notes, because we

9:12

have bothered to write some notes, and you started with

9:14

your dental hygiene notes. Well,

9:16

because just before I came to Cornwall, I went

9:19

to the dental hygiene. It's quite a boring thing

9:21

to do, isn't it, really? And they're bossy, as

9:23

we've talked about before. They would

9:25

get those false teeth out to show you how to

9:27

clean your fucking teeth. They do, don't

9:29

they? Either that or they put the

9:32

mirror. But you've got the glasses on

9:34

to save the splatters. You haven't got

9:36

your reading glasses on. You can't, no

9:38

point giving you the mirror. Anyway,

9:41

yes, anyway, what she did, what

9:43

she did, is she got this

9:45

massive kind of oral B toothbrush

9:49

hat. Why am I

9:51

laughing? I'm laughing because I suppose it

9:53

reminds me a bit of something that you

9:55

might buy at Aunson. Right,

9:57

so it wasn't maybe, maybe it's both.

10:00

ends. Well you

10:02

know it buzzes doesn't it? Well exactly.

10:04

You know the one that's slight sort of

10:06

triggering your back to it to me but

10:09

anyway I hope my daughter's on this thing.

10:11

Did you have a tiny orgasm in the

10:13

dentist's chair? It's a tiny tiny one. I

10:16

did a little bit because it's

10:19

the it's the the effect of it

10:21

is so dramatically different to an awkward toothbrush.

10:23

What do you mean? What

10:25

I mean Jenny is that it's heavy

10:27

duty. It's really heavy duty

10:29

and she showed me how to use it

10:31

and you kind of angle it in counterintuitive

10:34

ways and everything and it left my mouth

10:36

feeling absolutely pre-born.

10:38

Reborn? Yeah yeah I'm going

10:40

to use that word reborn yeah I am. So

10:43

of course I bought one. I've bought one instantly.

10:45

How much? How much? Well there are many. 120.

10:50

It was down from 170 to I think

10:52

it was down to

10:55

about 100 which

10:57

is a lot I know but I don't

10:59

know what. And you get around.

11:02

It might seem better than that. Once

11:05

you've bought one the dentist has to give you new

11:07

heads all the time. Do you know what I mean?

11:10

Yeah you don't have to buy from the so you

11:12

always get two a year new ones. And

11:14

so I bought ball sit with my. Does it

11:16

take does it. Does it. Does

11:20

it say it's going to whiten your teeth or

11:22

is it just. No no I don't think that

11:24

it's very good for the guns. I can't tell

11:26

you. So I've ordered it. I

11:28

haven't got it in my possession yet. I know where

11:30

it is. Exactly what it is arrived at the post

11:32

office post office and

11:35

then should be picked up. Can't wait. Quite

11:37

you know impatient for that. Well when you

11:39

get when you pick it up will

11:41

you take a photograph of it. I

11:43

will. You know people have got birthdays

11:45

coming up and they're true. People are

11:48

saying that it was your birthday and

11:50

maybe this I could because you

11:52

know I I very frightened to

11:54

go to the hygienist because of my mouth. That's

11:56

the problem. They do gouge and get in there.

12:00

You know, so I always

12:02

have to wait until my mouth ulcers

12:04

are free because otherwise it just shreds

12:06

my mouth. Oh yeah, I had

12:09

a really tough time last week actually. I mean

12:11

I'm not going to bang on about it but

12:13

you know I had that most delicious Indian meal

12:15

at Masala Zone. It was honestly the best meal

12:17

I've had in years. Really? Yeah,

12:20

it shredded my mouth. I mean,

12:23

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, my

12:27

mouth ulcers were bad. They were bad. I

12:29

don't know whether it was just stress or

12:32

the meal or just a

12:34

combination of things. I don't know but

12:36

I just thought, well if that's

12:38

the last time I'm going to have a really

12:41

good Indian. I'm really glad I had it there

12:43

because it was delicious. It

12:47

was delicious, Judith. There we go. Anyway,

12:49

so let's get all our

12:51

hygiene out of the way. I want

12:54

to know about your wort. Oh,

12:56

right, you didn't really need to bring

12:58

the wort up. Well, thinking about your

13:00

wort, I'm sure it's the same as the

13:02

one I had. Your flat,

13:05

a flat minus a centimetre of

13:07

flax. Like

13:09

an emery board. Yes, I'm sure

13:11

you had the same thing. Yes. I

13:14

know you had it frozen off and then mine

13:16

sort of came off and it was quite satisfying.

13:18

No, mine is cumbling off in tiny

13:21

bits, Judith. I wanted a full scab.

13:23

Oh, yes. Because it did

13:25

scab, it did scab. And there's still a

13:27

bit left. I think, you know, I might

13:29

have to go, I'm not sure, yeah, I'm

13:31

not sure you got all this. I think

13:33

you might have to go back with your

13:36

freezing mechanism. Anyway, there we go.

13:38

And you've had your riveter out again. Well,

13:41

haven't you? Not my riveter because I haven't bought one

13:43

yet but I might. But I tell you what, more

13:45

kitted out, Judith, is there. I tell you

13:47

what, that new electric toothbrush of

13:49

yours, it's so super duper dandy.

13:52

I think it might be able to

13:54

do some household little jobs as well.

13:56

I think it might be quite good at sanding if

13:58

I think about it. I think yes

14:01

I know what you mean but I've kind of

14:03

got the taste for it and the other day

14:05

when we got here the shower head was kind

14:07

of leaking You know where the shower head meets

14:10

the tube that you know what I mean? Yeah,

14:12

Mrs Plummer speak here. This is technical plumber speaking

14:16

Well you wait, you with nothing in

14:18

it. Yeah, wait. Anyway so Mike

14:20

had a look at it I'm

14:22

never gonna talk about it honestly And

14:25

so you tube it and

14:27

I mean I don't know

14:29

it's not rocket science is it? I mean

14:31

why would as you said before everything's on YouTube

14:34

anyway explained how to get a

14:37

wrench and I found a wrench in the spare room And

14:40

get the kind of bevel bit so

14:42

you don't scratch it undo it and

14:44

then and then kind of dismantle it

14:46

on the washer I've never seen a

14:48

washer. I've never changed a washer. I've

14:50

never I've never been aware washer No,

14:55

hold your horses in the video.

14:57

It said if you can't get a new

14:59

washer turn it over up my dam because

15:01

there's a new side Be

15:04

a fresh side. Yes, try

15:06

that screwed it all back up got my

15:08

wrench. Did it I've only just got

15:11

amended it. Oh, yes Oh,

15:14

yeah, I mean, you know, you are a

15:16

capable woman and you know what I do

15:18

think with this all these new found skills

15:21

Tucking under your belt. Maybe when

15:23

you get back, yeah to Oxfordshire

15:27

you should look around for a

15:29

course maybe a fetching course Because

15:33

you know you've had your gutters done

15:35

again. You know, you're thatched gutters done.

15:37

Yeah, yeah, I just don't know Which

15:39

yeah, I had you ridge re-rigged, but

15:42

you know, they've said to you in a couple

15:44

of years time It's the full roof job and I

15:46

think that if you spend a few months

15:48

at night school on a You

15:51

could be right get your own lab. Good.

15:53

Oh, no, no, no, I've just

15:55

remembered you can't do hi I

16:00

wouldn't be able to go down, I wouldn't be able to get

16:02

up. I'd have to be winched down. It's

16:04

not going to work, is it? Nice idea though.

16:07

I know, I know. Luckily you were going with it,

16:09

but there we go. So we'll finish off Cornwall, because

16:12

it sounds like quite hard work. I

16:14

mean, you know, all joking aside. Yes,

16:17

yes it is. When the weather lets

16:19

you down. That's the

16:21

thing, isn't it? That's the game. You can

16:23

forget, you know, you're all right, aren't you,

16:25

if you can go outside and sort of

16:27

throw stones on the beach and everything and

16:29

wear them out. But it's when

16:31

you're indoors and it's, yeah, it is quite

16:33

hard. But it looks a

16:36

bit brighter today. Might just be

16:38

brighter today. Well it's shit here, I can tell

16:40

you that. Oh is it? Because

16:42

you sent me a message the other day, right in the middle of the

16:44

sort of storm here, saying, oh I hope it's as

16:46

nice there as it is here. No it was not. But

16:49

you had a nice winter weekend with you.

16:51

I had a really, I did extreme pottering.

16:53

I've decided to call it extreme pottering.

16:55

You didn't do this. It

16:57

was like having a holiday at home. Now

17:00

I have come very late to

17:02

bank holidays. I always, you know, when I was working

17:04

much more than I do now, I resented them,

17:07

I hated them. I couldn't understand why everyone else was

17:09

lolling around while I was having to go to work.

17:11

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Because, you know,

17:13

stand up comedy has no holidays. There

17:15

are no schedules, there's no nothing. You don't get

17:17

paid for not working. You know, I've never had

17:20

a paid holiday in my fucking life. All right

17:22

everybody. And,

17:25

oh God, and maternity pay. You

17:29

don't get maternity pay. No, you get all that

17:31

security or pay just now. And on the other

17:33

hand you get some highs. You get highs and

17:36

lows. Highs and lows I guess, don't you? Oh

17:38

yeah, yeah. Yeah, all of that. I

17:40

just sort of paved into this bank holiday

17:43

idea that everybody has

17:45

enjoyed for decades without me. And

17:47

I just thought, well I don't really have, we don't have

17:49

to get up. We don't have to

17:51

do anything. We can go to our own pace. And

17:54

Saturday Morning, you know, we opened the curtains and

17:56

it was a bright sky and a sunny day

17:58

and we went down the... The garden centres

18:00

18:03

Towards my neck of the woods others take

so I'm see said. I'm I'm

19:52

saying that it a go

19:54

squat and an outdoor kissing

19:56

all. Over the little stuff. that's what I'm

19:58

saying, is it. Hey,

20:08

I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint

20:10

Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies

20:12

are allowed to raise prices due to

20:15

inflation. They said yes. And then when

20:17

I asked if raising prices technically violates

20:19

those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what

20:21

the f*** are you talking about, you

20:23

insane Hollywood a*****e? So to recap, we're

20:25

cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to

20:27

just $15 a month. Give

20:30

it a try at mintmobile.com/switch. $45

20:33

up front for three months plus taxes and fees. Promote for new

20:35

customers for limited time. Unlimited more than 40 gigabytes per month. Mint

20:37

Unlimited slows. A

20:49

good in that water is quite good and fifty

20:51

miles external wrist and we didn't have a seriously

20:53

23:21

buggies without. Breaks oh tricky break

23:24

so break citizens and sometimes where

23:26

things and times notes on a

23:28

because we discuss this is before

23:30

the show and daisies and have

23:33

base because they were see know about breaks and

23:41

all that stuff and financing noise. That guys that

23:44

23:48

his dried out. A severed rise out

23:50

if if what's it, what's. His

23:52

spare buggy, Hub you still got ready

23:55

to hit so Cobra uses yeah well we

23:57

argue the and okay rises. Will I not

23:59

only done. Yeah, wanted to. Okay

24:01

so what I've done on the A

24:03

I'm sure they do doubles. I got

24:05

a buggy, a stroller not a buggy

24:08

and been called a stroller. So either

24:10

from August last week with her cause

24:12

metics same space so it came in

24:14

on the day I could pick it

24:16

up on it. does a day or

24:18

laundry and it's a google will cut

24:21

C D G L okay I'm not

24:23

alert he five quid. I'll

24:25

settle. Yeah, yeah as it's not

24:27

quite as light as I expected

24:29

speak as I remember having when

24:31

the be was sort of turned

24:33

eighteen months, I got to Stroller

24:35

for mothercare. And it with red and white

24:38

polka dots I am. I see I was like

24:40

and I read i really think it up with

24:42

yeah yeah. As they have all that the

24:44

delays A yeah well as the classic there

24:46

are rules now so it's heavier than that

24:48

and this guy surprise got a break on

24:50

it, it's not and the and the hold

24:52

on the had to ask just about what

24:54

this was. Not

24:56

had to write it down because

24:58

it's an Asus hold on Hold

25:00

onto to find this find. This

25:03

did it on. Okay. It

25:06

hasn't got articulated wheels

25:08

Sister Articulated Lila. Over

25:10

the Cia as think that means

25:12

it's like a suitcase. it won't

25:15

be around in circles. I will

25:17

go. Round is a blessing. You could

25:19

make it go round in circles but it

25:21

won't go without being pushed around in a

25:23

circle. I he would spin. On us I

25:25

know your name and about name yet. So the

25:28

ten thirty five played of his would be more

25:30

for the twins twins. Well if they do it

25:32

when one that yeah I'm sure they do as

25:34

now and athletic person haven't had a look at

25:36

that. Well I mean they can walk. I mean

25:39

I can walk quite far now. but what when

25:41

the adults is like ah when he. It

25:43

is. We his house was at a friend's

25:45

and she had her grandchild so walk into

25:47

the parts and sister bit further night spectres.

25:50

So one point he wouldn't get into buggy

25:52

and he wouldn't he wouldn't walk anymore so

25:54

I had to carry him unflustered buggy and

25:56

then it was. Bears will lead the prices.

25:58

Quite hard work. yeah that. The new play

26:00

got a just have. To pick up new

26:02

paid guns. Ruskin us to discuss swings

26:05

with disabled kids. Without at all day and

26:07

age? Yeah yeah, it's not a day, but you

26:09

26:27

an. Issue

26:30

in he knows what he likes it as he

26:32

doesn't like him the let. Me know. So

26:35

that's a that says that is due to his

26:38

that's a really you know it's a. Really

26:40

really important lesson that if we have

26:42

a buggy that it is because and

26:44

in a when you told me because

26:46

I thought maybe just tipped. Suit

26:48

into those shallow water. Granted,

26:52

It is. It's the service unit. The truth is that

26:54

that they. Were say it but

26:56

yeah because drowned a very shallow water. Because

26:58

it would face down. That's what I shall

27:00

never forget. Is that image of that that

27:02

that the buggy in the water face down?

27:05

You know it was it will it was.

27:07

And then did you have to get on

27:09

the sorry with see I know wet and

27:11

oh yeah Absolutely so for you say. I

27:15

mean it does matter because the twins

27:17

27:21

it fuels my anxiety. Helen Reddy very

27:23

28:25

luckily as it's. You had a

28:27

bad guy. Race is Gary sexy and and

28:29

weeks. When I went for this sort

28:31

of cream and then went for a

28:33

marmalade hot Mama! That

28:36

shit is alright. As I get it done

28:38

that those have come out a which allows this

28:40

28:46

that slacks year of them for all the pics

28:48

then close you don't have read or a jazz

28:51

yeah that. Was used to have

28:53

even know there will be tested now. To

28:55

get back in the pursuit of in the building

28:57

codes that such as. Well

29:00

the local I will be lying down

29:02

on as slow as citizens. it's it's

29:05

it's okay comes corner. While I'm going

29:07

to kick off with art because Jeff

29:09

and I managed on Sunday afternoon this

29:11

take person to see the Singer Sargent

29:14

and since so. Now great show and

29:16

that is great! So contrary to the

29:18

Guardians one star reviews from Johnson Jones

29:20

who are upset you took exception to

29:22

it's dubbed the artist hated the fast

29:24

mangle. well he went over the top.

29:26

You can't good thing assaults in a

29:29

one star reviews die. It's just silly,

29:31

is silly and show your face. Is

29:33

it is. I went to Vegas borders and

29:35

slagging. The show off via our A. I

29:37

really hope it hasn't put too many. People.

29:39

Off because it really puts me off for

29:42

was that will outlast repurpose. Sing

29:44

the song to be. it's not rubbish.

29:46

it's great. Eat ribs. Entered into To

29:48

Lose complements the paintings as he's a hung

29:51

in there not use it so you know

29:53

that there's a gray room at Blackburn. The

29:55

confirmed the bridegroom the say to. A. Just

29:57

thought that the the that don't know.

30:00

I thought the gallery had gone that extra step. And

30:03

it's so beautifully painted up with these jewel

30:05

colours and these cool colours. I

30:08

thought it was fabulous, I really did. I

30:10

really, really did, yeah. So he painted

30:13

a lot of women in gorgeous clothes,

30:15

basically. Yeah, there's a lot. Are they

30:17

right? Yes, absolutely, I mean, high fashion.

30:19

I mean, it's all rich people, because

30:21

they're the only ones who could afford

30:23

it. But it's just, and

30:25

they've got some costumes there. Because he dressed

30:28

people. He was very, very

30:30

controlling over what people wore.

30:33

And so there's a mother and daughter, and because

30:35

he didn't like the dress that the mother had,

30:37

or the daughter had originally chosen, he

30:40

was a straighter in pink satin to compliment what,

30:42

you know, the other one was

30:44

wearing. It's just, yeah, yeah. So he's

30:46

interested, as interested in the fabric and

30:48

the colours of the clothes, as the

30:50

subject is. So there's the actual Ellen

30:53

Terry outfit that she wore on stage,

30:55

and Lady M is there in a glass

30:57

box. I think that sounds great. Well,

30:59

it does, but I think that, you know,

31:01

for somebody who's a purist, maybe

31:03

they thought that the costume outside of it

31:06

was a distraction. I don't think so. It's

31:08

sort of, for me, it was just another

31:10

texture to it. It was just really, it

31:12

was lovely. Anyway, there we go. Great.

31:15

So that's the art sofa this

31:17

week. We are now going

31:19

to radio. You have radio. Well,

31:22

you know, I have a big, I mean, lots

31:24

of hours will be fans of

31:26

conversations from a long marriage with, you

31:28

know, the Radio 4 radio thing, with

31:31

Roger Allen and Joanna Lumley. And I have

31:34

enjoyed it, you know, series after series, but

31:36

do you know what? I was

31:38

listening to two or three when I was coming down.

31:41

I thought, oh, will you stop going on about the

31:43

fact that you've got this great sex life? You know,

31:45

it's like, oh, hang on, are you coming back to

31:47

bed for a cuddle? And they're, oh, you know, I'm

31:49

not doing that. I know. How old are they meant

31:51

to be? Are they playing in their

31:53

sixties or seventies? What are

31:56

they? Question. I think Joanna Lumley's

31:58

got to be well into her seventies. I

32:01

would think. So they're probably

32:03

both playing somewhere in their 60s. Yes,

32:06

probably late 60s. I know it's written by a

32:08

couple who are... Oh, she's fabulous,

32:10

isn't she? Jan Hetherington, I think, really. Yeah,

32:12

yeah, yeah, because I've... Jan used to work

32:15

with her or her husband, I can't remember,

32:17

because her husband used to be somebody in

32:19

telly. She's a fan.

32:21

I mean, she's written into us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,

32:23

well, I hope you're not listening to this one, because

32:25

she might be upset, but there may be... So we're

32:28

just saying... Yeah,

32:31

it makes you feel us, because I'm good.

32:34

No, I'm not having that. I'm

32:36

not having... No, I will not have

32:38

those of us who can't be asked to

32:41

have a vibrant sex life in Adulquo. I won't have it,

32:43

Judith, because there's just, you know, far

32:46

more interesting things to do. For example, this

32:48

week I've had a massive fucking rush making

32:51

vegan banana bread,

32:53

but my toddler grandson who barely eats anything

32:55

actually eats. Sorry, that'll make me come, you

32:57

know, that'll make me have an orgasm, it'll

32:59

wash me down the stairs and through the

33:01

front door and over the road. So, you

33:03

know, let's just have a bit

33:05

more reality there. And I don't think we're just

33:07

talking for a minority. I

33:10

think that... I mean, well done you.

33:12

Well done you. If you're having a

33:14

fantastic, vibrant sex life. Just don't force

33:16

it down, you know, just... Don't keep

33:18

going on about it. Don't

33:21

force it down arthroats like

33:23

a big clock. Exactly. No,

33:27

it's sort of like it does not

33:29

ring true, to be honest. Well, that's

33:31

exactly right. Because, you know, a bit of

33:33

it drizzled here and there. You

33:35

know, fine. It's

33:37

like mint sauce. Don't fucking

33:39

just black it all over the

33:41

place. You know, give

33:44

us a break. All the tractors just go by.

33:46

I can hear it. It's like real rural... No,

33:48

you buy the sea, what's the tractor doing? No,

33:50

it's sort of behind in the garden. They go

33:52

round with little tractors and things. So

33:55

have you seen... Have you had any other culture while

33:57

you've been here? Yes, well, yes, the Plymouth has been...

34:00

The aforementioned trip to Plymouth,

34:02

we went to see the boy, take the

34:04

boy, obviously it was a rainy day experience,

34:06

we went to see a

34:08

little puppet show called Three Little Pigs. Oh

34:11

God, Arlo would have loved it.

34:13

Yeah, so I thought he would have really,

34:15

really, really loved it. They liked it, it was all

34:17

at the, it's touring obviously,

34:19

it's called Three Little Pigs. We

34:22

saw it at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth and

34:24

they haven't really seen many, not as much theatre

34:26

as Arlo, but I had Stanley on my lap

34:29

and what was so enchanting about it is we

34:31

took some raspberries in for snackage. Sienna

34:33

did, I thought that's a bit dangerous in the

34:35

dark, but you know, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. No,

34:37

because they don't make a noise, I think that's

34:39

really, well, I'm thinking about the stains, but anyway. Oh

34:42

yeah, yeah. He

34:44

got a raspberry at the beginning of it and

34:46

you know that thing, it's almost like a cartoon,

34:48

he's got his mouth open, ready to eat the

34:50

raspberry, but it was too engrossed to actually put

34:52

it in. So he literally, for about the first

34:55

20 minutes, he had in his

34:57

hand a raspberry with his mouth open.

34:59

It was just so sweet. I think, oh,

35:02

that's lovely. So sweet, and they were dropped.

35:04

The concentration, the absolutals of, yeah. I know,

35:06

I know. I can't believe it. It was

35:08

like- And they barely blinked, do they? They're just sort of like,

35:10

it's just- Yeah, oh, it was marvellous

35:12

to see them. You know, that was more fun really

35:14

than the show for me is to watch them loving

35:16

it and everything. Was it the

35:18

huffing and puffing and blow your house down, Mum? Yes, yeah,

35:20

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Marvellous. Were they scared when the wolf

35:22

came in? Little bits, not

35:25

that, but a little bit,

35:27

60 minutes long, just the right level. That's right,

35:29

yeah, no interval. Get it over and done

35:31

with it. Thank you very much. Very much.

35:33

Lovely, okay, now let's get on to telly.

35:37

Yes, well, the only thing I would

35:39

say that is worth a look is,

35:41

and it's not a new thing, it's

35:43

on BBC iPlayer, it's a kind of

35:45

series about the connection between advertising over

35:48

the years, since the war really, well,

35:50

obviously, television advertising, and women

35:52

and housework and also the role model of

35:54

being a woman. I'm

35:56

not sure it's been kicking around for a while,

35:58

but it's ever so good. is called

36:00

Washes Whiter and I think it's two

36:03

or three episodes but you know

36:05

what was fascinating is, I hope I'm not

36:07

getting a bit snore here, what

36:10

was fascinating is the connection between

36:13

what happened when women came back

36:15

from the war happened, all the men came back

36:17

from the Second World War and women were

36:19

pushed out in the jobs that they'd been doing.

36:21

Yes, back in the

36:23

home, back in the home, unknown money,

36:25

yes, or right down the

36:27

picking order, right down the food

36:30

chain and nothing. So basically kind

36:32

of advertisers apparently decided to big

36:34

up the whole role of Housewifery

36:36

by giving them all

36:39

these new cleaning products

36:42

and they've against germs.

36:46

Yes, exactly, it's like literally they thought

36:48

okay it's the war against germs, it's

36:51

almost like germ warfare and

36:54

it sort of caught on and people started

36:56

buying products that they never sort of thought

36:58

they needed. Originally

37:00

a little bit of vinegar and elbow grease would

37:02

have done the trick. We're doing

37:04

exactly the same now with weirdly,

37:07

we're all being suckered into Instagram

37:10

lifestyles and I'm not

37:12

going to name any names because those who

37:14

are in the know of all this will

37:16

know who I mean and nobody's

37:18

doing anything wrong really but

37:21

it's a very bizarre kind

37:24

of lifestyle cult thing of

37:26

how a home should look,

37:28

the cleanliness of a home

37:31

or the equipment you really need,

37:33

you know how beige your children must

37:35

be dressed in these sort of linen kind

37:38

of pastel colours. It's an

37:40

odd thing that's

37:44

on social media at the moment which is

37:46

kind of quite bossy in

37:49

a very pristine lifestyle

37:51

way and making, it's

37:53

quite hard to put this into words, making

37:55

a ceremony of every single tiny

37:58

little thing. So

38:00

Easter isn't just, you know, Easter and

38:02

a few eggs hidden around

38:04

behind cushions, it's tablescaping

38:07

and decorating. Oh for goodness sake. And, you

38:09

know, getting someone to dress up as an

38:11

Easter bunny and just... I

38:14

don't know. I think that it can be

38:16

quite damaging for people that don't have a

38:18

lot of money or a lot of time or

38:20

the energy to do

38:22

this extra stuff. Oh you bet.

38:24

You bet. And for a lot of

38:27

women who are probably working mothers who,

38:29

you know, actually that's the last thing

38:31

they want is more bloody work around

38:33

those themes. It's

38:35

always, I mean it's nice to make a

38:37

little bit of a to-do about certain things.

38:39

You know, I like a Christmas tree and

38:41

I like, you know, I threw

38:43

an egg at Jeff, he got a chocolate egg, I

38:45

got a McQuicks one and I got Arlo

38:48

a vegan one but he didn't get it. He

38:51

doesn't really get chocolate at all. Oh that's

38:53

lucky. Boys have. I just think we have to watch

38:55

that because I think women are under the cosh enough.

38:57

Well families are under the cosh enough so I don't

38:59

think we need to buy into that stuff. No,

39:02

I agree. Okay, right. Tellywise, now I

39:04

know you've got to get back to the twins so I'm

39:06

going to go very fast now. We

39:08

finished The Gentleman on Netflix. I thought it was

39:10

hilarious and marvellous. I think we've got two more

39:12

to go and they are to be savoured. I

39:15

can't wait to see what happens actually. And

39:17

they've left it open. They've left it open,

39:19

Judith, for another series. There'll be another series.

39:22

New series of MasterChef. Now that's been shunted

39:24

out of prime time for a position. Six.

39:26

That's it. For 20 series it's starting at

39:28

6.30pm. I'm not surprised. I've

39:31

got MasterChef fatigue and to be

39:33

honest I'm not surprised. I just

39:35

find it very relaxing to watch

39:37

because I'm not going to attempt

39:39

anything. No you're not. No

39:41

I'm not. Interior Design Masters. I

39:44

thought it was debatable this

39:46

week as to who went. Oh, go

39:48

on. Well, did you see it last

39:50

night? I have seen it

39:53

of course. I've seen it. Well, I just thought

39:55

that there was some, not bad behaviour because you

39:57

know they're all in there to compete and win.

40:00

Yeah. I'm not sure whether the blame went

40:02

to the right person. Oh,

40:04

do you think not? I think there was equal blame. Oh,

40:07

that's interesting. Yeah. No, but

40:09

you see for me, those those those chair

40:12

extenders with it with a thing. Well, I

40:14

thought that an equal thing with a

40:17

ridiculous height bonquets. Well,

40:19

yeah, I know that is a rookie error and a half,

40:21

isn't it? Because they would be unusable. You'd have to you'd

40:23

have to take them all off and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

40:25

The same with the chair. I know what you mean. I

40:27

think perhaps they should both have gone thinking about. But then

40:30

they they they would too. There wouldn't be

40:32

enough left. But I do think that, you

40:34

know, the right team won. But anyway, we're

40:36

not slacking anything off. No, it's a good

40:38

series. It's a really good series. And they're

40:40

doing they're doing. Yeah, I just think they've

40:42

up the stakes slightly. Or they've got a

40:44

really good group of people playing this at

40:47

this time. We've started watching.

40:49

Not sure whether the world give it the time

40:52

of day or evening. It's

40:54

called The Dropout on iPlayer Amanda

40:56

Hochreid playing a pharmaceutical fraud.

40:59

It shows promise. OK. OK. Right.

41:02

We're moving on to books because you have to save

41:04

the children. It looks to you, Dick. I

41:07

just started The Island of Missing Trees

41:09

by Emshek. Yeah. Yeah. Which

41:12

is about the separation of Turkish and Greek

41:14

Cypriots on Cyprus. And I think it was

41:16

set. Might

41:18

be set in the fifties, actually. That's where my dad was.

41:21

That's what he was doing. That's what my mum went to

41:23

be. When they got married,

41:26

my mum went over to be his secretary in

41:28

Cyprus. Right. And

41:30

she had to go to this office. And the

41:32

last bloke who had the office had his head

41:34

blown off. And that's

41:37

what my dad was doing. He was tunneling

41:39

underground to capture the baddies. Oh, my God.

41:41

Yeah. Yeah. You need to read it. I

41:43

mean, I've only read the first three chapters, but it's ever so good. Really?

41:46

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you don't like our

41:48

cup of tea at all. I

41:50

don't know. I've heard

41:52

about it. I know it's been on lists.

41:55

I know it's been very well credited. OK.

41:57

OK. I'm on the list of suspicious things

41:59

by. Jenny Godfrey, that's not Jenny

42:01

Godfrey, it's Jenny Godfrey, the writer,

42:03

not Scottish stand-up, it's very enjoyable and

42:06

this is one that you might have

42:09

an interest in. Moral Injuries by Christy Watson,

42:11

I believe she was the one who wrote

42:13

the Tiny Birds book that you really liked.

42:15

She did, she did, Tiny Sunbirds Far Away,

42:17

absolutely great writer. What a life she's lived

42:19

then because this is set

42:21

in hospital, like in King's College Hospital,

42:23

that's called City Hospital, it's set in

42:25

Camberwell, there's lots of references to Camberwell,

42:27

I know exactly where they are all

42:29

the time. They've just mentioned the paddling

42:31

pool that Arlo was strolling across yesterday, you know,

42:33

I put that photo on Insta and

42:36

there and there in the summer when it's full of water. Anyway,

42:39

it's very, really knowledgeable

42:41

about heart surgery. Well

42:44

she's the next nurse, isn't she? She's the next

42:46

nurse. Well this is a heart

42:48

surgeon, I mean she's done some bloody research,

42:50

I tell you that. It's very

42:52

impressive. There were a couple

42:54

of inconsistencies that I've

42:57

hiccuped over but it's very impressive

42:59

and Geoff and I, it's our

43:01

book so Geoff and I, he's

43:03

really enjoying it. So I think

43:05

she's really interesting, I

43:07

think she's a big brain.

43:10

Yeah, oh I'm sure she is, absolutely.

43:12

Heard of talking on the Saturday

43:14

Live and I think maybe it's about that

43:16

book that you're talking about actually. Well it's

43:18

just come out, it's got beautiful cover as

43:21

well, yes now then. It's always good. Even

43:23

though I haven't watered it in the flesh,

43:25

I'm listening on Audible and it's nicely read.

43:28

Emails, we've had some very good emails. We

43:30

have, we have. You need to apologise first, Judith,

43:32

because it was a trip in here. Oh I

43:34

know, I'm sorry about that. I'm not very good

43:36

about posting the reels or something or whatever it

43:38

is on this, so I'm actually going to do

43:40

three for the same by mistake. Yeah, I am

43:42

exactly the same. I'm so sorry, I'm

43:45

so sorry about that. I feel like an installation. Yes,

43:47

you are wasn't it? Well,

43:49

well not. We'll start with a compliment. Hello Jenny

43:51

and Judith, first day I have to say this

43:53

week's pod was hilarious. I'm talking laugh out loud,

43:56

is there? Good. Anyway, have

43:58

you tried mashing your glorious bold

44:00

butter beans when heated through add a

44:02

little olive oil or butter I don't

44:04

use butter and pepper a mash like

44:07

potato so indulgent and it feels so

44:09

naughty but of course it's beans not

44:11

potatoes I think that's

44:13

an alternative to like you

44:16

know to have on toast to

44:18

have on a nice oh yeah I think it's right

44:20

when I get

44:25

back yeah I think it sounds great and I thought

44:27

I thought it was a great thing to send us

44:29

it's been Julie 64 years and ten months now I

44:32

liked Julie Julie I love the suggestion and I have

44:34

made a mental note to try this however I kind

44:36

of went off for you bit because you said Julie

44:39

64 years and ten months and at the

44:41

end she's put lives in Spain on a

44:43

mountain with Simon and four cats at which

44:45

point I thought okay I want to have Simon

44:47

to blend out. I'd like to live in

44:49

Spain on a mountain with the donkey. Don't

44:52

like cats not having cats. Well Spain

44:54

on a mountain with Simon sounds quite

44:56

nice though doesn't it? Yeah Simon the

44:58

donkey now dear Julie and Jenny, Jenny

45:01

spelt wrong I'm just gonna say it's

45:03

Jenny with a Y because Jenny with

45:05

a nice I

45:09

can't actually believe I'm writing this so don't give out my

45:11

name. Listening

45:13

now on the podcast last week in the gym

45:15

for some reason I was well for some reason

45:17

I was transported back to school gym aged about

45:20

11 who knew crossing your legs and climbing a

45:22

rope could be so good is that what you

45:24

were doing at the gym I think this lady

45:26

was back at the gym reliving her past skimming

45:28

up they don't do ropes in the gym

45:30

these days do they absolutely not

45:32

no they don't be full of 30

45:34

year old women tweaking

45:37

themselves up to the top and just

45:39

swaying 20 feet above

45:41

the air going oh god I'm not

45:43

coming down oh don't

45:45

make me I'm staying

45:47

up here for a fortnight right

45:51

now then more emails

45:55

yes yes please hey so

45:57

hello J&J Jenny's comment about someone

45:59

running standing down the street rescuing their air

46:01

fryer in an event of a fire, triggered a

46:03

family story we have of my nan, Viv,

46:06

post-war when chimney on fire in

46:08

her family terrace house in Northampton.

46:11

She ran down the road with steak pie from

46:13

the butchers she thought to have to see under

46:16

one arm and the dog under the other,

46:18

leaving her husband with the kids to escape

46:20

the fire themselves. Isn't that brilliant? That's a

46:22

few years in that embrace. 54 and 5

46:24

months. Fantastic. We

46:26

love your nan. Your late nan. And

46:30

we'll just leave you on this one and it's

46:32

a link that you can watch everybody. It's

46:34

a YouTube link to a music

46:38

video by the Liberteans. And

46:40

this is a really sad email but it's

46:42

got a lovely sort of silver lining. I

46:44

did a journey of duties. My husband died

46:46

from cancer last May. Two months after being

46:49

diagnosed. Cheery starts an email in brackets.

46:51

It was a traumatic sudden death with no time

46:53

to say things all I wanted to say. After

46:56

seeing Jennie live in October, I started listening to

46:58

the podcast every week. It brings me joy. One

47:01

of the hardest things about losing a partner is

47:03

you have no one to share the ups and

47:05

downs of your children's lives with. You can talk

47:07

to friends and family but nobody really cares like

47:09

a parent. It can feel very lonely. Totally get

47:11

this. So after seeing your recent trip to Margate

47:13

Jennie, I felt compelled to share something with

47:15

you both. Towards the end of last year,

47:17

my son, Matteo. Now Matteo is a dancer.

47:19

A dancer and a half. Yeah. And was

47:21

asked to be in a Liberteans video set

47:24

in Margate. Now my husband

47:26

Enzo loved the Liberteans. If I'm honest,

47:28

his love of loud music had become

47:30

quite irritating for the years. In

47:32

the video, Matteo is wearing a silver bangle. This

47:34

was Enzo's bangle. He never took it off since I

47:36

met him at the age of 21. Matteo had

47:39

it when he died. To see it

47:41

appearing on the video is quite surreal as other words of

47:43

the song. So here's a link to the video. I'd love

47:45

you to watch it. All the way

47:47

to the end which is the best bit. We will put

47:49

the video link in the show notes. So

47:51

that will be wherever you get the

47:54

podcast from. It'll be in the show notes. Okay.

47:57

It's beautiful. Thank

48:00

you so much for sending it. Absolutely

48:02

great. And the living rate artwork. Great.

48:04

Okay. Right. Good.

48:07

I better get back to the point. Yeah, you better.

48:10

What is it now? It's

48:12

eight minutes past eleven. You

48:14

have to think about lunch. Yeah, yeah. It's

48:16

kind of... We're starting to edge towards lunch

48:18

and a nap now. Do you know what

48:21

I mean? Yeah. Michael will be

48:23

in a bad mood now because he's been on. He's been looking

48:25

on. Yeah. And also that hour

48:27

going forward, that's kind of... Always had it

48:29

ACAST powers the world's best podcast.

49:34

Here's the show that we recommend. Hey,

49:37

I'm Tim Holderness. And I'm Ben Holderness. We

49:40

host the Holderness Family Podcast every Tuesday. You

49:42

may know us from the silly videos that

49:44

we make online. Or a book about marriage

49:46

called Everybody Fights. Or as winners of season

49:48

33 of The Amazing Race. Still

49:50

can't believe that happened. Listen, we do a lot

49:52

of stuff, but our podcast is our most favorite

49:54

thing. Yeah, because every week we get to sit

49:56

down face to face, talk to each other about

49:59

marriage, family, mental. health or just anything that we

50:01

want to know more about. Sometimes we have

50:03

expert interviews. Sometimes it's just us. But our goal

50:05

is to bring some joy and laughter into

50:07

your life every week. Our other goal is that maybe

50:09

you will learn something as well. Right. So search

50:11

the Holderness Family podcast and check out our

50:14

most recent episodes. We have one about staying

50:16

organized with creators of the home edit and one

50:18

about being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. We

50:20

hope you'll join us. Acast

50:23

helps creators launch, grow

50:25

and monetize their podcast
