Speaker CI've just listened to one of your pods.
Speaker CI think it was the totally extra one where you were talking about the girl who swigged her girlfriend's fl.
Speaker AStop it.
Speaker CI'm going to be honest, I'm part of the majority that loves the gag warning stories.
Speaker AParticularly hearing Emo pissed herself while you two are gagging.
Speaker ALike Emo's laugh gets me every time.
Speaker DI just love it.
Speaker CI'm sorry, but the gag warning stories.
Speaker DDon'T make me gag.
Speaker CI think only one did.
Speaker CI can't remember what it was but the majority of them, I just.
Speaker CI'm blanking.
Speaker AI just laugh.
Speaker CAnyway, I've been doing this at work, trying really hard not to get noticed, but love the pod and everything.
Speaker CMy name is Stephen and I'm from.
Speaker AThank you, darling.
Speaker AIt's IMO's Beavis and Butthead laugh that gets me every time.
Speaker BRemember Beavis and Butthead?
Speaker BThat will be banned now.
Speaker BAnd South Park.
Speaker BI loved South Park.
Speaker AOh, yeah, that was good.
Speaker BI know.
Speaker BActually, though, I never went to South Park.
Speaker BDid you ever watch South Park, Mo?
Speaker ENo, I think I was a bit too young for it.
Speaker BYeah, well, there you go.
Speaker AI never really got into that.
Speaker BThat's why.
Speaker AYeah, but I'm older than you.
Speaker BShe's like.
Speaker AYeah, I never really quite got that one.
Speaker BWhat, you didn't get into South Park?
Speaker ANot really.
Speaker BOh, so inappropriate.
Speaker BSo funny.
Speaker BLove it.
Speaker BSee, all these things have shaped our personalities, right?
Speaker BMine minus.

Speaker AEuro Trash was excellent.
Speaker BYou have watched the In Between Us though, haven't you and I.
Speaker BOh, yeah.
Speaker ADo you remember in Euro Trash when.
Speaker ANo, I mean, not Euro Trash.
Speaker AThe word.
Speaker AYou remember the Word with Danny Bear and I can't remember who the male presenter was and they had the section like, famous, famous for a minute or something and it was all these rank things like this old granny came on and then someone like, had to lick her sweaty armpit.
Speaker AOh.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AThis.
Speaker AI mean that.
Speaker AI mean, could you imagine just what people would do to get anything to be famous?
Speaker BLike five?
Speaker AIt's like do a poo in a carp and stuff like.
Speaker DStop.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BI do not remember.
Speaker AI'm going to Google this because it was the word to Google the word.
Speaker AYeah, it was, right.
Speaker BNever heard of that.
Speaker DNo.
Speaker BYou know the word.
Speaker AOh, come on.
Speaker ALufanians, my fellow OGs.
Speaker AOh, 90s stopped airing in 1995 when.
Speaker EI was two, so.
Speaker ACan I be joking?
Speaker BYeah, they're.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AThis is where we notice who was the male presenter.
Speaker ADanny Bear was the woman who was amazing.
Speaker ASo hot, says Danny Bear.
Speaker AAnd Christian.
Speaker AIt was Christian.
Speaker AChristian.
Speaker BI never heard of there.
Speaker AOh, yeah, Manchester, you know Terry Christian.
Speaker ATerry Christian.
Speaker AThere we go.
Speaker ATerry.
Speaker AChris, Emo, do us a favor, can you just go down a little rabbit hole of the Word?
Speaker AAnd it's the famous for a minute item that they had and it was always for really rank things.
Speaker BWhile you're going down that rabbit hole, I will read a message from Emily Heil.
Speaker BI wrote.
Speaker BDo you remember Smack the Pony?
Speaker BYes, I love that.
Speaker BRight, Emily, she says, hi, ladies, my lovely friend has truly been through hell and back over the last year from losing her horse and her dog.
Speaker BOh, within a matter of months.
Speaker BStill with heartache.
Speaker BFrom this we understand life Goes on and she's dusted herself off and has been traveling to Ireland for work and more recently accepted an amazing job on the other side of the world.
Speaker BThis week she's been involved in an accident and has broken her back from being bolted with a horse.
Speaker AYou don't need to hear this, Lou.
Speaker BYou couldn't write it.
Speaker BShe's asked for company and visiting hours but I have flu and I'm feeling useless.
Speaker BShe's a die hard Luana fan and I know for a fact she'll be listening to the next few weeks of episodes.
Speaker BNow she's the least soppiest person I know.
Speaker BShe hates being touched, cuddled.
Speaker BShe'll smile at that the more I think of it.
Speaker BThere are a lot of similarities to you, Lou.
Speaker AI was gonna say.
Speaker BSo a no nonsense message please.
Speaker BA shout out will make her smile.
Speaker BShe said, your friend Emily says you've got this babe.
Speaker BLove Emily and the gang from Stratford Upon Avon.
Speaker BOh bless you.
Speaker BWe're thinking of you in hospital.
Speaker ABig kiss babes.
Speaker AGet well soon.
Speaker AYeah, keep listening.
Speaker AAnd also you've got a whole back catalog of Luana to listen to.
Speaker AGo and listen to all the other reps.
Speaker AVoice note ramp from Jackie next.
Speaker DMorning girls.
Speaker DI'm joking.
Speaker DI'm from near Wimborne in Dorset on my daily marching walk.
Speaker DSo please excuse the out of breathless but I'm just wanting to run in related to Emily from Ragnall and her.
Speaker DYeah, check out staff that just don't speak to you.
Speaker DI totally agree with you and totally get what you're saying but there is the other side of the story.
Speaker DI think it's so rude.
Speaker DSo bloody rude.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker DWhen customers are on their phone as they unload all their shopping onto the conveyor out and they stay on their phone having their conversation.
Speaker DCan barely make eye contact with the customer checkout lady.
Speaker BOh man.
Speaker DSo I've just passed around with a dog.
Speaker DI think he wondered what on earth I was doing.
Speaker DYes, these people that are going through the checkout with their shopping on their phone, unloading it with a neck crooked and their phone under their neck don't even make eye contact.
Speaker DTap their card and off they go.
Speaker DNot so much as a buyer leave.
Speaker DYeah and I think that is just as rude.
Speaker DI agree as the staff that don't make contact either.
Speaker DSo maybe it's tit for tat situation.
Speaker DI don't know.
Speaker AYeah, love you girls.
Speaker DYou keep my entertained on my walk and the people I bump into clearly.
Speaker DHave a good day.
Speaker DBye.
Speaker AThanks Jackie.
Speaker AGreat point.
Speaker ARight, to reply yeah.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AGift next from Anonymous.
Speaker ASo, Clarice.
Speaker AClarice, she's.
Speaker AThere's a little photo here of a miniature pot of something called Ras El Hanout.
Speaker BDon't you ever use that in cooking?
Speaker ANot this one.
Speaker AI've heard of that.
Speaker BMorocco.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AMoroccan.
Speaker ASpicy Moroccan.
Speaker BYou're making a nice taj.
Speaker BDo you know what?
Speaker BI've not made a good tagine.
Speaker BI never cook properly.
Speaker BProperly anymore.
Speaker AOh, a nice tagine, as you say, with all the.
Speaker AThe pulses.
Speaker BYeah, and some couscous might make.
Speaker BIt might make that.
Speaker BOh, no, I'm playing polo tonight.
Speaker AClassic.
Speaker ASo we've got a small pot of this.
Speaker AWhat's the message?
Speaker BBailey's Hot Chocolate after chuckers tonight.
Speaker AWhat time?
Speaker BWell, they start our half five, probably.
Speaker BThere's quite a few of us, so they'll probably be finished.
Speaker BNot even joking.
Speaker AQuite fancy that.
Speaker BOnce I got this Brog, it's not too cut.
Speaker BIt's quite a nice day, actually.
Speaker AIt's a nice day, yeah.
Speaker BPop up.
Speaker AI might get the kids down and pop up.
Speaker AYou're in.
Speaker ASo minutes down the road.
Speaker ANow, this person says.
Speaker AClarice says.
Speaker ANow, I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I truly mean it when I say I'd rather have nothing.
Speaker AThis gift came from a family member for my birthday.
Speaker AWe're not big on making a fuss for adults in our family.
Speaker ACost of living, crisis, etc, etc.
Speaker AYep, fair.
Speaker AMy family is the same, actually.
Speaker ABut this gift takes the biscuit.
Speaker ANot only is this tub of Ras El and Hanut completely random, bizarre, weird, but it's also utterly useless because it's clearly been dished out from the back of the cupboard.
Speaker AIs it went out of date in December of 2023.
Speaker BOh, my God.
Speaker BShe has got a 2023 Ras El Hanout miniature pot for her birthday.
Speaker BNo, you're better off just saying.
Speaker BI'm so sorry, I've been really busy.
Speaker BI haven't had the chance to get again, just nothing.
Speaker BOh, but there's so many gifts now.
Speaker BYou can just buy a little voucher and email it to the person.
Speaker AAnything, even in a natural state.
Speaker BAnything.
Speaker AJust don't get anything, Gobs.
Speaker AEven a tenor, mate.
Speaker AA tenor in a card and treat your drink she put gobsmacked into the bin, it goes.
Speaker AAnd never accepting a dinner invite from this person again.

Speaker ABut he came around to mine the other day and I was like, spend more time with my dad so I could help.
Speaker AHelped him cook a kedgery, but got on my curry, the mild curry powder.
Speaker AAnd I looked at it, I was like, no, it gets a bit hard and give it a jab.
Speaker AThen I was like, oh, sort of in 2021.
Speaker ADid you use that?
Speaker ANo, I chucked it out.
Speaker ANo, I did get some more, but it then prompted.
Speaker AAnd here's one thing, do a cover, clear out.
Speaker ABecause all that just stays for decades.
Speaker AOtherwise.
Speaker ARight rant Lulu from Nicola Nicholas says.

Speaker BI'VE had conjunctivitis for less than 24 hours and already he can feel it in his right eye.
Speaker BNo you don't.
Speaker BI am not passing over that sympathy button.
Speaker BSimmer the down and give your eyes a wash with some sterile water.
Speaker BYou do not qualify for prescription eye drops yet.
Speaker BI'm livid.
Speaker BIf he goes blind, I'm gonna send emails of willies to his work email and make sure he opens them in the office and everyone can see him looking at the hard ons.

Speaker AWe're not touring but we are doing our Galentine's big night in.
Speaker ASo do get your ticket now.
Speaker ALuannalive or everythingluana.com Thursday the 13th of Feb, 8pm There's a really good meme going around that says my husband five minutes after I've just told him I'm not feeling very well.
Speaker AI think I've caught it too, babes.
Speaker ASo true.
Speaker AYeah, right.
Speaker APetty Polly from Anonymous.
Speaker ASo, Shirley.
Speaker AHi Luana, Just catching up on the pod and I heard the petty poly about picking all the good bits out of your partner's food.
Speaker AWell, it was the chorizo pasta.
Speaker BChorizo pasta?
Speaker BNo, chorizo because I've picked it all out because you're thought I would tell.
Speaker AYou my own petty pot because I do do like that at home.
Speaker AWell, I'd give myself the better portion.
Speaker AYeah, if just he's annoyed me.
Speaker BI always give Andrew the bigger better.
Speaker AWell, he obviously doesn't annoy you.
Speaker BNo, he doesn't.
Speaker AOh, pardon me, I really.
Speaker BHow far did you hear?
Speaker ATo be fair, Alex doesn't annoy me that much.
Speaker BToo stuffy in here for that.
Speaker ASorry.
Speaker BWind fast.
Speaker AIt's a bit of a hot box in here, isn't it?
Speaker ASo I thought I'd tell you my own petty poly that involves adding something in to my.
Speaker AInto my husband's food.
Speaker AWe love a bit of spice but I tend to like things a bit hotter than my husband.
Speaker AWhen he's pissed me off, I like to add a little extra chili or hot sauce into his food and then sit back and smugly eat mine while he sits There, get some milk.
Speaker BYou can get some milk.
Speaker EYou'll get in with an inhale.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker AYou know it.
Speaker BYou know it.
Speaker BOh, I've just done that.
Speaker BAnd Anna's farted.
Speaker BNow I've eaten Anna's eat of my.
Speaker AShit particles sits there panting, sweating and commenting on how spicy it is.
Speaker AI can take great pleasure in saying that it must be because his spice tolerance is lower than mine and I don't find it hot at all.
Speaker APlease keep me on a puny because I would love a granny name.
Speaker AOh, I love that.
Speaker BOh, brilliant.
Speaker ALove that.
Speaker BLet's listen to a voice note from Anonymous.
Speaker BSo we've called you Mary.
Speaker FHi, ladies.
Speaker GI.
Speaker FI'm not a new listener.
Speaker FI've listened since the start of 2023, but then I caught you and I just got sick of not being able to hear you, like listen to you every week and got world can't get into any other podcast other than yours.
Speaker FSo I've started listening to like from the beginning of when you started Luana.
Speaker FAnd I'm up to December 2020 at the minute to do the isolation games of the week.
Speaker FAnd I think they're hilarious.
Speaker FReally enjoy them.
Speaker FSo I feel like once a month you should do like an in my office can't be isolation game, but some sort of quiz that we should do that a petty polly was sent into what I was just listening to and it made me think, why don't you.
Speaker FIt'd be really good to hear somebody who's had a petty poly done to them so someone who has their relationships finished whether they were cheating or what if they just finished and their partner has done something to them.
Speaker FWhat they did to them.
Speaker FBut yeah, I love the pod and yeah, you're just.
Speaker FYou're both amazing.
Speaker BOh, thanks, Mary.
Speaker AI like that.
Speaker BWe actually also really welcome some listener feedback because we, you know, this is our pod.
Speaker BWe can change it if you guys want things.
Speaker ATake stuff.
Speaker BTake stuff away.
Speaker BSo I.
Speaker BI'm thinking we should do imo's little quiz.
Speaker ADefinitely.
Speaker EYou up for that in the week that I come over to Champney's?
Speaker BYes.
Speaker EBecause I'm gonna come over once a month.
Speaker BMonth.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BDo you know what's bad?
Speaker BI can't cheat.
Speaker BBecause during COVID Yeah, you did cheat.
Speaker BI cheated all the time.
Speaker BAll the time.
Speaker BBecause these two couldn't see what I was doing.
Speaker BSo I could always cheat.
Speaker AThis is actually.
Speaker BI was the overall winner.
Speaker AThis is really good news for me.
Speaker ASo now expose me for being truly.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker AEmo.
Speaker AOver to you.
Speaker AWe by popular demand we would love the imo's game of the month or whatever you want to call it back it most quiz Quiz.
Speaker AAnd it just pops up whenever you feel like it.
Speaker AWe love to quiz.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AExcellent.
Speaker AThanks Sims.
Speaker ARight kids, you've got that to look forward to.
Speaker ALufanians kids say the funniest things from Antonia.
Speaker AHi Loanamo.
Speaker ALove the pardon.
Speaker AAre they just been having a laugh all the embarrassing kids stories.
Speaker ABut I think I might have you beat.
Speaker BGo on.
Speaker AStrong claim.
Speaker BThis is a strong claim.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AMy son is three.
Speaker AI'm sure you remember that time.
Speaker AYep, the Y phase.
Speaker BWhy Mommy, why?
Speaker AThe attempts to socialize the little buggers by repeating yourself over and over to penetrate their goldfish attention span to find you've finally gotten through when they tell you off with one of your own rants.
Speaker ANo, Mummy, hold the glass with both hands, it's dangerous, etc.
Speaker AEtc.
Speaker AThat's true.
Speaker AMy most recent rant was getting him to stop hitting us when frustrated.
Speaker AEspecially when he's just woken up and confused.
Speaker AThat I have to repeat multiple times throughout the day.
Speaker ANo, sweetie, you can't do XYZ today because this morning you were naughty and hit Mummy.
Speaker BI like the idea you follow through.
Speaker AGood parenting.
Speaker AReally good parenting.
Speaker AAnd reminding your child the why.
Speaker AYeah, well, one day I go to pick him up from my mother's house and he excitedly ran up to me, tripped over his own feet and smacked his face into a wall.
Speaker AOh, he cried for 60 seconds, then forgot all about it.
Speaker AExcept that one week on the smack had migrated to an ugly yellow bruise under his eye.
Speaker AIt's every parent's nightmare, isn't it?
Speaker AThat?
Speaker ASo there we were on a silent commuter train coming home from school, when a little voice pipes up, mummy, you're naughty.
Speaker AYou're naughty because you hit me.
Speaker ASo no cartoons.
Speaker AOh God, that would be my worst awful.
Speaker ASo blood.
Speaker AMy blood turned to ice.
Speaker AWhat the earth?
Speaker ASweetie, don't say that.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker AOh, no.
Speaker AThe little rotter doubled down, getting even louder.
Speaker ANo, Mummy, you hit me.
Speaker AYou hit me and you're naughty.
Speaker BThey do make things up.
Speaker AI know.
Speaker AOr yeah, exaggerate them.
Speaker AFor the record, I have never hit my child.
Speaker AI've not even had a swat on the bum.
Speaker ABut I was quickly realizing that there was literally nothing I could say that would make me seem less guilty.
Speaker AHow do I explain the series of unfortunate events that has led us to this point where a toddler with a black eye is loudly accusing me of child abuse?
Speaker AI wanted the floor to swallow me hard you would.
Speaker BWouldn't.
Speaker AThis happened to my mate who lives in America, her boy in the.
Speaker AIn the local Target store with Mommy, Mommy, don't hit me, Mummy.
Speaker AIt's like, oh, my God.
Speaker BI did this in my life.
Speaker BMy mum wouldn't let me have a lollipop or something or something from Boots when I was little.
Speaker BAnd she was like, no, you're not having it, come with me.
Speaker BAnd I screamed down the place, you're not my mummy.
Speaker BHelp.
Speaker BHelp.
Speaker BYeah, she's taking me, she's taking me.
Speaker BShe's not my mummy.
Speaker BMy mum had to like convince was my mom because all these people came over and thought she was trying to take me.
Speaker AWell, it's the same.
Speaker BI'm at first never forgiven me.
Speaker AWell, it's so bad, isn't it?
Speaker AMy Enzo's attempted and I'm like, don't you even dare, boy.
Speaker AObviously my three year old, she goes on to say, has no idea that he has a black eye, nor does he understand the implications of what he's parroting back to me.
Speaker AThe planet's just aligned to bring me the most embarrassing and awkward 25 minute train ride of my life.
Speaker ALuckily, there wasn't a nosy Karen on the train to call the police on me.
Speaker ASo now it's just a funny story I whip out to explain why I call my son my little goblin solo Animo.
Speaker AWhat do you think?
Speaker AIs this the worst thing my son will do to me?
Speaker AIt's quite bad.
Speaker ABut, oh, because honestly, I would have rather been pantsed at school than spend 25 minutes thinking I was going to be arrested.
Speaker AAnyways, no need to keep me anonymous, Antonio.
Speaker AI live in Rome and if any of my UK friends are listening, shoot me a text to let me know.
Speaker AYou know, I would rather a pantsing as well than that.
Speaker AIt's horrific.
Speaker BImagine that.
Speaker BThe nerve.
Speaker BShe's like, has one of these people called the police?
Speaker AIt's literally the worst.
Speaker BBrilliant.
Speaker BYeah, we've got a voice note rant now from Emi.
Speaker BMa, Ma, shall I read this first?
Speaker GHi, I want to send an A rant and I don't know who else to send it to, but I have a feeling that a lot of women out there are going to feel the exact same way.
Speaker GI just washed a fuck ton of dishes, got to the end, emptied out the water, everything, everything was fine and then looked to my left and there's another pan and the ladle and whatever that I need to wash and I am so irritated.
Speaker GOh, and might I add that it is quarter to one in the morning and I need to be up at 6 tomorrow, so I.
Speaker GAnd I still have a ton of stuff to do.
Speaker GSo I'm just.
Speaker AI'm just a little.
Speaker GA little pissed off at myself.
Speaker GAnd now I still need to wash the pot and pan and ladle.
Speaker GOkay, thank you.
Speaker GMay all the women out there remember the pots and pans that they need to wash.
Speaker GAnd yes, I will be getting a dishwasher soon, I hope.
Speaker GOkay, bye.
Speaker AOh, I love that.
Speaker ASo there's a message.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BShe says, I am Emi Emmy.
Speaker BEmmy.
Speaker AMa.
Speaker BYeah, Ma, not Esme.
Speaker BA rare nambian Namibian.
Speaker BOh, I'm doing well here.
Speaker BA rare Namibian, which is next to South Africa listener.
Speaker BAnd I listened through your entire pod in 43 days last year.
Speaker AWow.
Speaker BDon't ask me how or why.
Speaker BI was busy with my theses and constantly need something to listen to because of my tinnitus.
Speaker BAnd you know how I feel about the pod.
Speaker BWouldn't be messaging a pot I hate now would I?
Speaker AEmma, you are literally giving zero Fs other than for the ladle in the pan.
Speaker AYeah, love that, babes.
Speaker AThank you for listening.
Speaker ARight, confession time.
Speaker AI've never told anyone this, but number one from Maude.
Speaker AHilo, Animo.
Speaker AYou guys are a pod force.
Speaker AI like that.
Speaker APod force to be reckoned with.
Speaker AKeep up the good work and all that jazz.
Speaker AFor seven long years, I have been driving my children to nursery.
Speaker AIt's an idyllic country nursery based on a farm.
Speaker BOh, lovely.
Speaker AOh, this is delightful.
Speaker AThis is when Lou and I met.
Speaker BWhen we met just after we both had the babies.
Speaker BAnd I said, I found a lovely nursery and it was on a farm.
Speaker ARight next door to where I used to live.
Speaker BAnd so we started sending our kids.
Speaker AThere only once or twice.
Speaker AYou did.
Speaker BMine was basically there full time and then it got shut down.
Speaker BIt wasn't Austin.
Speaker BIt was really nice.
Speaker BThey just didn't put that paperwork in order.
Speaker BThat was what it was.
Speaker AOh, yeah.
Speaker AIt was a paperwork clerical error.
Speaker BIt was clerical.
Speaker BIt was beautiful.
Speaker BIt was really nice, like.
Speaker BBut that's what this reminds me.
Speaker BIt does, doesn't it?
Speaker AIt was so beautiful.
Speaker ASuch a shame.
Speaker BSuch a shame.
Speaker ANice people, beautiful nursery.
Speaker BOn a thing that happened.
Speaker AAnyway, it's an athenic country nursery based on a farm.
Speaker ALoads of outdoor space, caring team and animals.
Speaker AThe kids get to see the new baby lambs and feed the pigs.
Speaker AWhat a lovely nursery.
Speaker AYou are probably thinking, yes, what a lovely place to send your children.
Speaker AWhich is.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AWhich is why I have put up with the following for so long.
Speaker AThere is one niggling downside that has been grinding my gears twice a day, four days a week for seven years.
Speaker ATheir private 100 meter lane kid.
Speaker BSeven years.
Speaker BOh, she's probably got multiple.
Speaker ASeveral kids.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker BOne's a lot of children.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker A100 meter lane is full of potholes.
Speaker AIt is so awful that the cars create undulating hills and troughs within the lane as the potholes get bigger and bigger.
Speaker ASome of them are about six inches deep, a couple of feet wide.
Speaker AA few of my mum friends have had blowouts and issues with it.
Speaker BOh, they need to sort this out.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AThe owners let it get extremely bad before attempting to fix it.
Speaker ATheir botched attempt consists of digging it up and sprinkling a bit more gravel around.
Speaker AThe potholes usually reappear within a few weeks and then the cycle starts again.
Speaker AThey have had quotes from my friend's husband's groundworks company to tarmac it, but they said it was too expensive.
Speaker AThis would be an acceptable excuse normally.
Speaker AHowever, they have since built a brand new indoor flashy big bollocks riding school on site and a huge extension to the nursery which fueled my rage.
Speaker AHow do they get the poor horses up and down that drive year in, year out with.
Speaker AWith the trailers?
Speaker AAnd what about the staff cars that have to drive up every day?
Speaker AWell, one morning as I was driving down the very bumpy lake.
Speaker AI mean this would piss me off too.
Speaker AI'll be.
Speaker AAnd I live in the countryside, you know.
Speaker AI felt my huge GG boobs.
Speaker ADouble G tit love this.
Speaker ABobbing around so much that I thought they were gonna hit me in the face.
Speaker ANeed a landy hun.
Speaker AMy body filled with rage.
Speaker AI shouldn't have to consider wearing a sports bra to drive my kids to nursery.
Speaker AThat's when you know a pothole is bad.
Speaker AWhen your double GS are giving you black eyes, that is when I spotted the grass verge.
Speaker AFreshly mowed and smooth like a green carpet.
Speaker AOh, the dewy grass was glinting at me like little jewels in the fresh morning sunlight.
Speaker ASo I did it.
Speaker AI drove on that grass and I tore huge muddy tire tracks right down the middle.
Speaker ABoy, it felt good.
Speaker AAll parents have since received a stern telling off text message from the owners about my anonymous dirty protest, but also acknowledged that they need a permanent fix.
Speaker AIt worked.
Speaker AI got their attention after seven long years.
Speaker ANow very morning whilst.
Speaker AThis very morning whilst I'm driving up and down the lane, I am smug.
Speaker ANo one knows who the culprit was and the Mum group chat is blowing up with applause for the mystery verge vandal.
Speaker AYou are welcome, ladies.
Speaker AI mean, I love that.
Speaker BI really like that.
Speaker BThat's a good confession.
Speaker BAlthough you might be able to be identified.
Speaker BSeven years at the same nursery and you've got double G10.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AI might have to do this actually, because one.
Speaker AOne of the lanes I used to get to yours, that's a bit.
Speaker AThat's a bit hairy.
Speaker AYou know where the farm is, but only about four minutes from you, there's literally a pothole now has gone from the verge about halfway into the road.
Speaker BBut you know, you don't need to come that way.
Speaker BAnd I tell you, go under a little bridge.
Speaker BYou come in down from where that petrol station is and you're coming down the road and you're going right under a bridge around the back.
Speaker ANo, I don't do that way.
Speaker BOh, I don't know what.
Speaker ANo, I come a bit another way.
Speaker BBut anyway, anyway.
Speaker BRight, next up, confession.
Speaker BHi, Anna and Lou.
Speaker BLove the podcast.
Speaker BYou keep me company on many drives to work.
Speaker BAnyway, I had to share this embarrassing story.
Speaker BMy daughter started school and quickly made a lovely friendship group.
Speaker BThis is all great until the mum's WhatsApp group happens.
Speaker BShockingly, was all actually going really well and.
Speaker BSorry.
Speaker BShockingly, it was all going really well.
Speaker BAnd now into the next term, it's still going well.
Speaker BOne of the mums gave birth to beautiful twins, but unfortunately one of them was born disabled and in hospital for a while recently.
Speaker BThey were all home for Christmas and everything was lovely.
Speaker BShe posted a picture of the twins in the WhatsApp group and as I'm replying with hearts, my finger.
Speaker AOh, God.
Speaker BSlipped and I sent a reply with four throwing up sick faces.
Speaker AOh, no.
Speaker BI quickly remembered WhatsApp had an edit by a button, so edited the face and put hearts.
Speaker BPhew.
Speaker BNo one saw that ping, by the way.
Speaker BSaw the sick face.
Speaker BLuckily it was one of the other mums who has an equally dark sense of humor about me putting sick faces on the picture of a disabled child.
Speaker BSo no awkward looks at the school gates Monday for me, I hope.
Speaker BLots of love.
Speaker BDark, humid mum from north.
Speaker AOh, dear.
Speaker ABut have you.
Speaker AI've done that.
Speaker AOh, do you know something?
Speaker BI've got you put like a laughing and news or something.
Speaker AI.
Speaker BLiterally everyone has been there.
Speaker AI've done it Yesterday.
Speaker AA friend of mine's just started chemo and I went to like send like a, you know, like a love heart and the.
Speaker AThe clearly the one.
Speaker AThe emoji.
Speaker AI've used next to it was a laughing emoji.
Speaker AOh, and I had to do exactly that quickly.
