It depends what you're trying to say. It's like it's like irrelevant because you this isn't you now. You're an actor living through this character.

No, no, I'm not. Now I'm doing the fucking wolf in our podcast, but you're still a fragile obligation. Yeah, but That's a horrible thing to call our friendship. No, but I think once you once a place done, I think I speak for everyone. Once it plays done, I can't wait to see the new Romish. I was contemplating shaving everything off. Anyway, I've talked about this. Yeah, yeah. Soutopia 2 has come home to Disney Plus. Let's go. Get ready for a new case. We're the greatest partners of all time. New friends.

But then on the one before that, it was a big, a lot of Tom. Okay, let's have a bit more Tom now. Okay. How are you? I'm good.

You've got nothing ever. I've got stuff that made me have always got stuff in the vault. I've always got stuff. Okay, when you say vault, that starts to make me nervous. I need to pull some story or ask from whenever. No, it's a very recent story. Okay, gone. Sleepgate. So as you know, I've had some trouble sleeping recently. Me too. And I picked up some militoning. Can rats? Have you had militoning before? Yeah. Have I had militoning just a bit? I love you doing the look down the camera. Anyway, gone. So militoning. Yeah. So I've been having this militoning. I think I've been speaking about the weirdest dreams. Well, I had a dream the other night that I was a chamber maid in like an awarding house. But like I had all my features that my my sort of beard and stuff. But my body was that of a sort of like probably 28 year old woman in the awarding time. That sounds like a hell of a dream. Yeah. So you got that face. Yeah. But body of a 20 hour or more.

I can't even say that. I'm just thinking about you. Quite a box of women. Right. Quite. I would imagine if you're a woman, you'd be bucks. Yeah. Makes sense. So and a lot of junk in the trunk. I'd imagine as well. And then my master took a bit of a liking to me. So I'm having this dream. And Oh God. That won't be the funniest thing you've ever said. Thank you. Fucking hell. Okay. So your master. So at first it's sort of like, um, who was your master? He's like, I didn't actually get his name. I can't remember it in a dream. Well, he looked like he's handsome. A bit like Lord Luke. Um, sort of like like Lord Luke and sort of like body is second.

Because he's got quite a sense of Lord Luke. Um, anyhow. I was going to bat my chores. Yeah. And my juice. But you've been over a lot, weren't you? Well, this is, yeah. I wasn't the master. That's not the punchline. No, no, no, no. Of course, no. Um, so I was obviously, you know, bringing out food and bits for the family. Yeah. And it's quite vivid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They had like three kids. Yeah. Wife, um, yes, wife and in the master, my master. And, um, and I was like cleaning out, cleaning the room down the dining room. Yeah. One night. And then he sort of comes behind me and kisses me on the nape of my neck. And sort of, um, start sort of whispering, sweet nothings into me. Right. Do you remember any of those sweet nothings? What it's like, it's like, I can't control myself around you. And also, I'm a bit sort of, although I'm a mate, like, yeah, I'm a bit grotty.

I've got sort of like, yeah, you've got made levels of hygiene. Yeah. And then you sort of, he's been a bit sort of hands around. Yeah. Yeah. So in the dream, could you fill the hands on your boobs? Yeah. Yeah. What do you think's happening in reality? Do you think you're filling your own boobs? No, no, no, no, no. I don't think so. I'm quite a sort of, you know, I sleep on my side. Anyway, I quite like him as well. Obviously he's powerful and he's a rich, powerful man. So then we start having quite a sort of, like, like, you know, sort of, we'd better say, run, be pumping. Yeah, wasn't it? I sort of remember that. So then we start having an affair. How graphic was the sex? I mean, not graphic graphic. It was sort of, you know, like sort of soft core. Right. So of course, sort of level, you know, a lot of kissing, a lot of sort of suggestive stuff. And then, um, and then I, but then his wife found out. Right. And then what happened? Well, I was thrown out into the street. There's a slide of hall. I don't understand how this, this is really like, you've got a full narrative arc in this dream.

Mate, the dreams I'm having, this is just one of many, but this is one that, this is one of my favourite one. Yeah. And this is one of the second. I can't imagine there's one better than this one. Or at the moment, no, but I mean, it's like being involved in a movie. It's actually probably one of the best parts I've ever had. Then I, yeah, I'm thrown out. And it's sort of to be fair, you know, in like a dream engine, you've still got that heartbreak in you. You know, I had that where I work at once. And I thought I was going out with Brandy from Moesha. Oh, wow. I mean, Brandy the singer, but she was in Moesha. Yeah, there was a Moesha that was going out. And then I work up. I was really gutted. We would at least shoot this time. I don't want to talk about it. You know, I felt the same about, yeah. Yeah. The earl that I was with. Yeah. Sort of I've worked up. It's that such a weird thing, that feeling of sort of like, because I felt ashamed and sort of dirtier and disgusting. Oh my god. I was sort of like, you know, because you're doing something wrong, but that made you feel a bit better, I imagine. Yeah, but also, when we were together, it felt right. Oh, absolutely. It's so often does. Then I was, I just remember the last bit of a dream on just walking around the street.

The old streets of London. So it carried on? Because to me, the story is over now. You mean through? No, no, no, no. The last bit is, I get thrown out. And then the last thing I remember. But the dreams can go on without you remembering details. Yes. I remember in, yeah, this dream's probably lasted, it lasted a good amount of time. Yeah. The last bit I remember is that I'm just sobbing, walking around. Sort of a bit of a, like you're Charlie. We're like Nancy and, um, Oliver. Oliver, yeah. That's actually, it was quite Nancy like sort of woman. Oh. Oh, it's, yeah. It's a penny. Oh. It's a penny. It's a Kenzian. Two blooms for a fucking tenor. You'd be fucked off about that now. Who will buy my sweet red blooms? It's not a little girl, you think? It's a milk. Yeah. Let's go. I remember it quite well. Yeah. I love that musical. Nives. That's a nice one. How does a nice one go? Who will buy my nice shop knife.

Two blades for a thousand pounds. Um, I keep thinking about it. That's right. Does it make, did it make your horny? There was a level of horny to me. Yeah. But then it's not a level of horny that you could easily kind of. Yeah, but it's, you've created an edge that it's not easily scrummed. I'm going to tell you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he's not in the way that. And also, if I was a 28, well, I've never been at 28. Yeah. It's unlikely. I'll be a 47 year old woman. Yeah. Every now and again, I'll just drift away and think of his hands on me. And then kissing me. It's such a weird feeling. Did it feel good? Like to be taken up? Yeah. To be taken up in someone's arms. Yeah. Because in the dream, he was so strong and, you know, and I believe the things he said. Yeah. What did he say? Oh, just I. You're such a special girl. You're such a special girl.

Hmm. And did you, do you remember if you talked in the dream about? I talked like I talked in the dream. Oh, God. Oh, completely flammocks and betwixts by all this. But, yeah, you can give it to me. Well, I don't really go down to the scullery, you know. Give you a little bit more detail. Well, I'll do totally be extra little. You want to know the logistics of... Shush now. Oh, you lunch. Not weird. Lunch. Shush. Where would you like? I mean, do you want back in a full-rendle? Hush, big branch. What are we... What are we talking about? I could use this rolling pin as a peg. Yeah. Master doesn't need to hear you. Oh, that's a waste. I found it like quite a... The rousing, yeah. Yeah. I'm finding quite a rousing here and about the story. It's quite... Yeah. So... Are there any other ones that spring to mind? No, that's the one that really, really sort of... Yeah. That's the one that's really interesting. Did you tell Catherine? No. No. I don't think you should have said it on this podcast, really. Yeah, but she didn't listen to the podcast.

Okay. Why did you not tell her? I think... I woke up in the morning and it felt... To be fair, I sometimes go on about my... I like a discussion about dreams. And I just think, yeah, it's a bit, yeah. Maybe as well, I felt a little bit like naughty. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah. Or unusual, I'd say. Yeah, but I think there's a melatonin rather than... What are dreams? Are dreams your fantasies? I don't think dreams are your fantasies because I have one where I was staving a zombie's head in with a spade. That is a fantasy. That is a fantasy. It's not a fantasy. I think you need to nick a rep patch on overnight. You can ask, how do you think you'd feral a zombie apocalypse? I would kill myself as soon as I saw the red window. What? Yeah. I, somebody that just... For my opinion, I'm clinging on to life pretty lightly. You know, like... I think zombies, by the way, are the most... I've overrated... Threat in the world. Then... Not only they're not overrated, they're not rated. No, but... There's no such fucking thing.

If all the things that people worry about, I'm not worried about zombies. Right. So you're under the impression that's a mic drop moment. But I just think that... That you don't worry on a day-to-day basis about zombies. No. I literally think you've got more to worry about becoming a 20-year-old woman and getting fucked by your master. Didn't you have about zombies? I'm just saying it. There's a lot of pressure pot and zombies, right? There isn't. When people watch zombies, that's a good one. This is part of the thing with politics shows as well, I think, or stuff like this. People present arguments as far. There's not a lot of pressure on zombies. Wait, I'm just saying it. There's a lot of programs. People've got fucking on me. If there's a zombie apocalypse, what do you do? 18 months, 28 days later. I'm talking about... In general. I don't... 28 days later, I've got a bit of a sticky point with. Why? Well, I audition for it. Didn't get it. That's what. I haven't tell you, Johnson Park. Big part, baby. Yeah, I'm no, not, man. So I think that... I couldn't do the jaw-wrenching. Why jaw-wrenching was so bad. Try it now. Yeah. We better get running from these zombies, like...

We eat meat. Better get running from these zombies. We eat. We eat. We eat now. We better get running from these zombies before it's too late. That's not... That's not you trying your harder. No, he's not right. Okay, go and try your harder. Okay. We... No, stop. Okay, here's my first... If I... I can't do a Georgia accent. Yeah. Stop starting with me here. All right. We... We... We... We biscuit running from these zombies, like... I have to worry, because every time I do these accents, it slips into a place that could be quiet. In what? What do you mean? Well, I worry that it's insulting. Right, I see. But yeah, I could be insulting many different people if they heard me do that without any. I think, you know, rightly or wrongly, you attempting a Georgia accent is fine. But eat. That's more Scottish, isn't it? Yeah. Right. Right. We best get running from these zombies, like...

Yeah, I... Yeah. I sort of... I can't... The worst is I can't... I can't sort of figure out what you're trying to do. Could I just say that the... I would have actually respected the person, the class and director more, if they'd actually finished the thing and gone. Okay. Or... Or... Or... It was such a fucking... Yeah, it was not my finest moment. It was a killer. It's a fucking hard accent to do the Georgia accent. Yeah. Can you do it? A little bit late. A little bit late. Oh my gosh. It's my favourite accent as well. Of course. I love the Georgia accent. You're a really good accent. I was having a discussion with your brother the other day. Brother... Yeah. No, but I think to be really good accent, you have to be able to have a good attempt at every accent. Yeah, but could I... There are some that are just... I'll never get... Yeah, but a lot of times we do like a character of them. When you hear that people do a really... Like Idris doing Stranger Bell was incredible. Yeah. It felt so just normal.

Yeah, yeah. And rhythmic. Yeah, so that was a great... Why can't we do American either? You can. I've heard you do American. No, but not like... I couldn't be in a film as an American. I think... You know what? If you had enough practice, you'd be amazing. You reckon. I think you'd be amazing in American. Like a sort of like... You could be like the cheeky teacher. Yeah. That sort of like... Yeah. Some of the girls are being naughty. Girls. Girls. You stop that now. Oh my god. Forever. You're so... Here comes Mr. Reagan. What would I be called that? The guy's written the part. It's written it before me. Okay. All right. So you're one of the girls. I'm one of the girls. Now, Elsie Mae, you know it. I don't like that. Oh my gosh. Get those wronged hands away from me. I'm all blah blah blah blah. Whoa. Mr. Reagan. Elsie Mae. Elsie Mae. You know I didn't touch you. Elsie Mae says where she believes.

I don't understand. You pitched the part to me as a cheeky teacher. And I'm a fucking nuns. I'm a real... I'm a real... It's good. You got my audience. So, um... So, Ramesh, I've got this power for you. It's written with your name. Okay. Uh-oh. And he's a pedophile. He's a teacher. He's a math teacher. He's a head of a year who's a pedophile. Okay. Well, that was my exact job at school. Except for the pedophile bit. Oh, just to be clear, being a pedophile. And I wasn't kind of being a pedophile. Being a pedophile isn't a job. It's a life joy. No, I know that. I know that. I don't think there's a choice. Relations like grindin' a mustache. Yeah. This year, I'm gonna grind a mustache and be a pedophile. That's my two resolutions.

They were coming out of the wood. There's a lot. And they'll disappear back when we bought that. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I was doing the play. Yeah. And then friction said to me, I'm playing it out on that. Right. Do you know that on that new venue? No, no, no. It's amazing. Okay. It's amazing. Anyway. So I'm playing it out on that from 12.30 till 2.30. Wow. Two hours of sweet sweet dancing. Now, I'm due up at 7 a.m. For the weight yesher.

Oh my gosh. So this is on the Friday night. Right. Not drinking, obviously. Just staying in London. Staying in London. So it's not like I've got a trick all the way back and come back in. Yeah. Go to out on that. On your jacks. What do you mean? On your own. Oh no, no, Sheridan came with me. Oh, nice. We go along there. Yeah. It's not a name. Yeah. It's not a name. Yeah. She goes by Mrs. Friction. Really? Of course not. Okay. Fucking hell. No, for a guy. It's not the Incredibles. Oh, just saying. For a guy, Friction feels like I could call a name. But if a name was Mrs. Friction. It just. It isn't that. I know. Yeah. I feel like we're insulting her. No, no, no, no. Friction. I love Friction. Yeah. You said Mrs. Friction. Yeah. I was just doing a bit. Really? Yeah, very clearly. I just want to. Yeah, that's her name, anyway. So we go there. Well, I thought my stay for an hour. Anyway, all right. End up the stone to two. 30am, maybe. Wow. Two thirty three o'clock. Maybe.

I look back to Hotel at Frey. Yeah, and then I'm so panicked. By the well. Oh, this is not the point of the story. The point of stories this. But this is not a funny story. I'm just telling you. I dance the whole time, bruh. Wow. So! Haha, yeah. Too out. I didn't think I had it in my locker. Like proper dance dancing. No,alu hat. Sweaty. I respect that. Yeah, I think you can go. I wasn't like going like that. What is a dancing it sort of people are doing? The rope come over here. Is that what he just did? What sort of stuff? Show me just roughly. I think there's a lot of gun fingers. Oh, you were doing that. Wow. Man, it has the leaf. No, I like it. Yeah, that one as well. A little bit of that. Yeah, and then there's a bit of that. Anyone jump on your back? No. Somebody get telling me I looked a lot like Ramesh. Got to say Bug Bear at mine. Got Ramesh. Yeah, a lot of people think it's Ramesh.

I hate it. A lot of people think it's Ramesh. Do you know what I mean? You're Paul Ramesh. Ramesh. Ramesh. Okay, you've never done that. No, I've got no, I do say Ramesh. Do you really correct them? Yes. Because how much could you like someone if you put an A in there? No, that's fair enough. Ramesh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good to hear. Any Ramesh would be better than Ramesh. I was just very pleased that. I'm fucking impressed with that. Get back to the hotel. I know what's happening here. What happened? I know that I've got a gap at seven. It's a worse. What do you think happens? Well, because then you're in freak out mode. Yeah. You work out into a sleep. It's too deep. You work out in the nightclub. Correct. Then footage will come out of you leaving a night club. Yeah. Still dancing probably. Correct. Into the back of an Uber. Yeah. Correct. Oh, I walked actually. But did you? Yeah. Can I have respect that? Walking. Some like that. Oh, man. Panicking about going to sleep. I'm not getting about an hour and a half. Sannies are a long day for you. Bro, radio show, play, play. Yeah. Long ting. Yeah. That's nice. Long.

So you're dating with a 16 hour day there. Long ting. 16 hour day. Yeah. Oh, man. And then do you did you can you sleep between the two plates? Yeah. Did you? No. Oh, man. But I was so tired. I, somebody texted into the radio show and they said, I had told an embarrassing story and said, they're shamed from London. That's how they signed it off from a shamed in London. Right. And I was so tired. I read it as Asher Med. Okay. So I've gone and that's from Asher Med in London. Producer Katie starts cracking up. Yeah. Obviously. Then I start laughing. And then all these texts start coming in. Anyway, they've clipped it now. Oh, wow. This is pure, this is pure result of my lack of sleep. Self-inflicted. Yeah. Who reads that saying it's Asher Med? Well, probably would. Anyway, I've sort of made me tired thinking about it. So at night though, I slept the sleep of a house and sleep. How are you going to sleep? I've got up now. No,

I feel sorry for the least of the kids in it. So you just got in and slept. What time did you sleep till on the Sunday? I got to put, I got to put nine because I'd say Charlie to Oliver. Oh, nice. Back in April of July, boy. Yeah. We're not there when it's, he, okay, this is another thing I want to talk about. I'm getting fucking mugged off, by the way. Well, but Charlie, we go to Oliver. Yeah. Now, he's only been doing it a little bit, but it's the first time I'm taking him on his own. On my own with him, right? Not on my own, you know what I mean? Yeah. He wants a Greg's. I get him a Greg's. I love this kid. We go to get to London Bridge and we've got to change to get a current chain cross, right? He says, can I get a snack from Mark's, not for now, but for later on in the day to put in his back. We've got a Mark's suspense. Mark's suspense is shut. They're moving it on the bridge. So he says, but there's a gale's next door. I'm not buying them a gale's, right? This kid. Okay. Let me get to chain cross. Yeah. We're early. Yeah. So I said, let's have a look, I'll hang out for a bit. We got a Lego world. Yeah. Have one of them there. Go to M&M world because I like this hoodie.

I'll buy him the hoodie. Wow. He's playing you. Mate. Lego was the only place I didn't buy something for him. All right? Probably the only place is where you'd have got something. We get to the you like Lego, right? Yeah. I don't have to say that. We brought Grace quite a bit of Lego for him. Yeah. There's something so relaxing about making. Yeah. I've been quite, like, taking the mecha, I felt very hypocritical. You should do because you've been quite piss-taking when I was going from my Lego face. Mate, I sat with Grace and in the end she was just off doing something else and I was just sitting at something I'm making something I think I might get this right. I do think I do think there's a real possibility that Catherine's bringing Lego in the house to keep you occupied. Yeah. Yeah. It placed on my anxiety. I hope it's hyper-focus. So what else are you getting? So that was it. And then I even I offered to get him a bubble tea before we actually got to the theatre because there's like a little place where I was at. Yeah, a little place. So it's a nice bubble tea. Anyway, it's a running joke that I'm a soft touch. Can I just say by the way? Yeah. I think that's good, Daddy. Is it? Yeah. We put so much emphasis. I'm getting a bit mugged off

there, aren't I? Can I just say, in the time that you were buying those and you're hanging out and you was eating his gregs and you, you know, the whole gale thing came along after that little sort of side track happened. Yeah. When you're walking around Lego Land or the M&M thing, any point did you feel at least I'm feel like I'm getting mugged off. No, because Charlie doesn't Charlie doesn't ask like that. No, no, but can I just say I think you got what you that was a nice that that was a nice morning. I think that wasn't nice. I think when you have those things in life now where sometimes you look back at it and go, oh god, I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't and you beat yourself up about, oh, you know, are you spoiling the kid or have you be don't have to play you a bit. A lot of that's the fact is you, buddy, felt it felt a nice thing. Felt nice thing to buy them those things. It's nice time with your boy. No, you're right. Thanks, bro. Don't be so hard on yourself. Thanks, man. That's a good dad. You're sweet. That's really sweet of your lake. Oh god, that was even better than the first. That's really sweet of your lake. That's not a real attempt. That's really sweet of your lake. It's really sweet of your lake.

Do it one more time? That's really sweet of your lake. Okay, there you go. I got that. So I would say, do you wait for him then to finish the show? I dropped him, Lisa picked him up. Carlisa has a tough and fuzzy and a lollipop for Lisa. Why are there other things on? She doesn't pick you up. Why are you saying that she's got the fuzzy end of the lollipop? Well, you get a lovely morning, which is nice. Well, they went to Dave's sort of chicken afterwards. Oh, okay. Okay. You know, that in the last time. Yeah. I mean, Charlie's had a fucking hell of a day, but we should, by the way, he's killing it. You've got three boys who are all fucking excelling. I don't know if they're, what is excelling? No, but not excelling, but they're, oh, do you know what I love about your, your pairing? All three of them following their impatience. Yeah, that's very, very positive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You think about me and you at that age, what were you like? I was getting beaten up somewhere. It was one of your passions. Yeah. Well, it had to become one of your passions. When it happened so much to you. I was probably getting chased around. Yeah, but you know, I don't, I mean, I'm exaggerating. So I don't think I've

got beaten up, but I, I, I don't know. I sometimes think of how thirsty I was at school. I just, you know, your boys don't suffer with that. I feel embarrassed at how like, I feel like that, but I feel like that, but I don't like sometimes. Did you got thirsty? I've, you know what? It's one of the things I'm really trying to cut back on. You're not really thirsty. I've had thirst about me. What, with strangers, with new people? Yeah, I can't, yeah. I think it's less than that. It's less apparent now. I think I've, I've started, I've really started to rein it in. Yeah. Because I realized just how sort of ugly it was. Disgusting it. Yeah. But as a kid, I was so thirsty. Did you ever not get invited to like school parties and stuff? No. Of course I did. I remember a girl in a, a class having a big party, a house. And she, she was in my class. She sat like a desk away from me. And she was telling her about her party. And I sort of tried to be cool. And I was like, there's this party. Like, um, you know, when is it? And she was like, Saturday night. And, um, oh, yeah. Probably about 14. Okay.

And I was like, uh, oh, yeah, loads of people are going, right? And she went, yeah, yeah. And I was like, um, oh, yeah, you know, be cool to kind of long. And she said, if you can find it, you can come. And I spent that Saturday night with my friend. Oh, no. It's like, it's like, it's like a really shit safer bird. This and that. Just looking for this party, just walking around. Like we didn't quite know the area she lived in. When was the party? And when did she tell you that? That was like, I'm like, maybe the Wednesday or Thursday. Okay. I was on a Saturday. What I would say is that is an invitation of sorts. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Like she's actually, yeah. Even the tone in which she said it sounded quite kind of. Because I think this girl thought I was a, yeah, I think I thought she was saying it because we were mates. I think I think she thought like, oh, if I've not given him an invitation, which other kids had had, or told him, yeah, I had an invitation with an address. I think, yes, she had given her address out. Yeah. And then I tried to get the invitation and the address off another kid who was like, I know, I've been told, we're not out to sell people. Oh, no. So

she'd done that. Okay. That's a bit different. Yeah. Because I was going to say, just ask somebody, where's his woman? So then we found woman who was, I knew vaguely through, she was in the teacher. I knew where you found this, where she got off the school bus. Yeah. Where she lived. So we started walking around the streets. Yeah. And we were out. And they had got an invite. No. And he'd been told, no, he, I told him to come with me. So by the way, this story, we're sort of giving you sympathy. Let's fucking pour out a little liquor. Who not only has not got an invitation, he's a fucking, he has decided to hitch his wagon. So he's sadder than the guy who hasn't given the fucking address. So imagine being that guy. He was, that was it very much. He was a sidekick in other people's lives this guy. So I, uh, mum was like, what you up to tonight? And I said, oh, we're going to a party. Yeah. There's someone, someone, someone, your mum asked you that. Yeah, mum and dad like, you know,

we're going to let me drop you. Um, and mum was so excited that I've been invited to sort of a party. Oh, no. So we got off the bus and we started walking around the streets, looking for this party, knocking on the occasion door and being told to fuck off. And, um, and we never found a party. We just walked out the streets for hours. Until sort of what I said, like, you know, it started raining. I was like, this is just pointless. And then, um, I went home and my mum had waited up for me. She was like, how's the big party? And I didn't have the heart to tell her that. I said, oh, it's so good. It's so great. It's really fun. Um, she was like, oh, we'll say and say that. I was like, oh, yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah. And then it was just that horrible thing of sort of, yeah. And then what, but then you had to go back to school on Monday. Yeah. What was that like? Well, you, I remember saying, like, um, I was kind of

couldn't find a bloody party. Um, because she sat the color desk. I said, how's the party? And she said, I was really good. Everyone was there. And I was like, um, oh, yeah. Cool. Yeah. No, we couldn't find it in the end. We looked for ages. Oh my god. Did you say that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why the fuck did you say that? Because I thought she'd find it funny and then go, oh, you know, she would find it funny at your expense. But I thought if she, she, what moment? I thought, you know, I'm not going to go, oh, yeah, cool. I just should have been in my house. Yeah. No, that's right. I know. I thought, yeah, we'd better look for it. Can't find a bloody thing. Oh, no. And then, oh, god. And you know, the weird thing is like, years later, I bumped into her. And she remembered it. She remembered that data. Like, when you bumped into, were you this top of Davis? Well, yeah. I mean, it was probably, I mean, when I say that, what I mean is like, how do you put on this, you know, that people don't realize, or some people that don't really know you, don't know this. But obviously, this is a lot of this is persona and stuff you've added on, doesn't it? It's not the real. Yeah. Years of bullying has meant that I had it. No, no. But,

yeah, it was, so we were probably about, yeah, like 20s. Right. And then she was like, oh, my god, I still sometimes laugh about you looking for my party. I thought it was so funny. I was like, yeah, no, it was really funny. It was quite sad. I don't know why you can move. And did you know what I always thought? I used to chat to her quite a lot. It sort of felt quite, yeah. Of course, did you have anything? Did I have anything like that? No. If I didn't think like that, I would have killed myself. Yeah, but also, I look at that story and think it's quite a funny story. I don't look at it. It's embarrassing. It's cringe-worthy. I've kind of made living out of doing those things. Yeah. Whereas if you went to the party, it wasn't even that kind of party. Yeah, sure. Sure. I still think about having a big sort of party now and just sort of like a reunion party. So you still in touch of her now? No, I've not in touch. I've sort of bumped into her anyway, but I know I wouldn't say that we're in touch. She cheat. By the way, I think a very funny

person. I don't hold it. There's no malice stuff on my part. Yeah. Actually, to be fair, that night in the rain got a lot about life. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, sometimes actually the search for something. But if I got to the party, what would have happened if I had found it? In my head, the ever that the thought, are we going to get to this party? It's going to be amazing. We'll have such a fun time there. It'll be incredible. We'll be allowed into this fucking, the top tier of friendship in the fucking school. That would have happened. The best sake case scenario that had told me to fuck off. Worst case scenario, they'd have let me in. There have been some sort of awful rituals. It's sort of, yeah, in the end. So the bigger boys with a daftus up in the garden or something. Yeah. I know you think of it as a funny story, but if you're trying to make that point, don't then add even sadder detail. Right. It's about that time, Tommy B. Yeah. Tommy B. Yeah. Can I tell you what happened there?

Yeah. I wanted to say it's about that time, B. You know, like in a hip-hop style. Yeah. And then I added Tommy. And then I just fucked it. Yeah. Tommy D. Yeah. I know I know. Yeah. Hmm. Memories are nothing else. More than new memory road and a straw down there. Hey, there's a hill here. Should we try and climb it? It's just a bad memory friend. But you know what? We climbed up at once and came down again. That we can do that again. Truth about looking back is sometimes you see things you don't necessarily want to see. But looking forward, you have no idea what's going on. So reflection becomes easier to do than whatever looking forward, but me. Some people say, oh, if I could change this about my past, I would. Maybe the idea of being a chambermaid in the Edwardian times, grew tough across the bench or a little boy and I'll add it into the party.

For any of those real, what are dreams? Well, the truth and ballet is memories and dreams just slip into the same thing. Something that might have happened once or something you may be dreamed. Truth is, even the saddest memories can be something you've jacola. So if you're going for a hard time right now, a tough time, remember at some point, shit, we'll get easier. Stuff will get better. And you might just look back and go, remember that time. Pull that one out. Thank you so much. That was fucking out. It's one of the darkest moments you've ever had on the podcast.
