In short
The episode is a comedy-rant and chat show hosted by Luanna (Lu) with producer Imo and others. Main topic: Luanna’s strong anti-oat-milk stance, plus “I said what I said” hot takes from listeners. Luanna also shares a personal story about making a surprising friend on a flight: Patricia, an 84-year-old Cambridge university professor who’s lived in China and Nigeria and whose ex-husband won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Key claims
oat milk tastes “earthy” and “shite” and is not worth the hype; dairy milk is “more normal” (the host also criticizes industrial dairy practices).
Notable examples
Luanna’s Starbucks coffee that turned out to be oat milk; her “Reco Seco” travel hack of booking an extra seat next to her to avoid sitting near others; her Aldi “Aperini” knockoff Aperol recommendation; and the Disney+ series Alice and Steve starring Nicola Walker.
Guests
no named co-host guests appear; “guests” are listeners’ submitted opinions and messages (e.g., “Lou Sasshole,” “Live Metis-tizzalone,” Joseph).

0:04Anna Williamson:Be warned, it's Luana and this podcast contains honest, upfront opinions, rants, bants and general explicit content. But, you know, you love it. I hate oat milk and I don't get why everyone bloody loves it. I have never been so frustrated. Plop went in and I diarrhoed all over the pack. I've got other shit to do than watch snotty, little, spoiled f*** quits try and play a fucking triangle, okay?
0:38Hello!
0:40Anna Williamson:How are you? Oh, Benito. It is warm. We are enjoying the July. We are so now in the thick... Do you know what? We're romping towards Christmas now, guys. Romping towards Christmas. Oh, I cannot wait. I cannot wait to be back in the sunshine for Christmas again. Yeah, yeah. So you're doing what I call the Bruce Forsyth. What's the Bruce Forsyth? He just had all year round sun. He did the UK for six months in the sun and then snuffed off to wherever he did for six months. That would actually, I would like to just be in the UK from like June to September. June, July, August, so four months. Then you get the doob's heat for them when we have the colder months.
1:19Anna Williamson:Well, listen, you can do what you want. You can't have got these fucking kids at school. It's so annoying. Let's just sort of... Send them to boarding school. Let's be fluid. Yeah, let's just be fluid. Welcome to Luanna, guys. A fresh new week here in Luanna land. How art thou? Of course, it is Lu. It's Anna. Producer Imo is here as well.

1:49Anna Williamson:Just hit follow and guess a subscribe if you're watching on YouTube. Hi, guys. Hi, guys. How's your week been? You know how you make two new friends a year, possibly? Potentially. I had a really sweet encounter the other day, and I wanted just to share it. Share, darling. I'm just going to share. Share this. Well, because I don't make really that many new friends either, because I've got enough friends. Because you're a loser. Because you're a loser. She's a loser. Well, I don't really have much time for my actual friends. I think you do make friends. Well, I do. You've always got a lot of village friends that are going to the pub or something.
2:29Anna Williamson:But that's the thing, I've got a lot of friends. I just don't have a lot of time to actually see my friends. I'd like to pour more time and energy into my friendships if I could. But I went up to Glasgow the other day. Did you? I did. I didn't know about this. Yeah, you may have been, I don't know, I don't know where you might have been on one of your money little travels. just for the night because I took part in I seem to now be a renter celeb in an inverted commas renter Z list celeb for TV shows right so I took part in Celebrity Inner Circle what's that? hosted by Amanda Holden you know last time I was up there doing Ross Kemp I was doing the house and cars everything is in like Manchester or Scotland very nice studios actually very nice hotels oh it's a long way to go well living near Stanny it's perfect you know just pop on the old you know they're very nice so i was asked if i could go up and it was quite a nice one so it was basically in each episode they block record all these episodes as you know um and it was five celebs uh of which they seem to have considered me one of those loosely um and you but you were there representing five non-celebs right so you are there to help team anna yes you know like the wheel have you ever seen the wheel where they are trying to get the wheel trying to get the wheel such a good theme tune that they're trying to get money for the people that are sitting in the middle.
3:47Anna Williamson:Same sort of premise, right? None of the money's for me. I'm there to help champion someone else. Yeah, gutted. You bet you wanted all that money, especially with that Renault. With that fucking Renault, that would have paid for something, wouldn't it? Pay for bloody day rates on decorators. That's a whole new story. Anyway. So I was like, yeah, do you know what? I will do. That's a nice little thing to do. So I went up and got on my plane and I'm going to be honest, I was quite looking forward to that hour. It's only an hour plane journey. but just for me just to sit and chat to myself just to watch something chat to myself chat to myself being my own I love travelling by myself and I find I don't get any plain anxiety when I'm on my own it's only when I got the bastards with me the little ruggies that's interesting no I seem to have conquered that I've practised what I preached well done I'm now all good I'm all good tube next tube next yeah and I'm good now trains are fine again planes are fine I've been doing my own exposure therapy it's only taken 10 years I know exactly that EMDR therapy that I've been learning it's working anyway So I get on my little Ryanair fly or internet, whatever it is.
4:46I'm going up and this lovely lady sat next to me.
4:51Anna Williamson:You really have made a friend. I've made a friend. So, I mean, I didn't reach out to make a friend, but this old lady made friends with me and she was really sweet. So I'd already, we've had lots of rants about this. I always like to pay for my priority seat up the front. I don't like being down the back. It just doesn't work for me if it's turbulent either. Not to her standards. No, not to my standards. And it's not just being bougie. I just find it mitigates some of my anxiety. If I can see the door and it's less turbulent at the front. So that's just one of my little crutches that I do. Little quack.
5:22Anna Williamson:Just, you know, just being open and honest there. So there I am. There's a middle seat that's spare. Bingo. Lady on the outside. Well, she starts talking to me. She's just like, oh, hello. What are you going up to Glasgow for? And I'm not going to lie. My initial reaction was like, oh. Yeah, annoying. Never get any peace and quiet. I just want to like, I don't want to be rude. People talk to you like peace and peace. I just don't want to talk to you like anyone. I don't want to be rude. But anyway, she was ever so sweet. And then I ended up asking her the question of being polite. What are you going out to Glasgow for?
5:48Anna Williamson:Oh, no, you did therapy on her. No, no, it was just, no, no, not at all. It was, no, no, that's my worst when I'm like, I just can't do therapy all the time, you know. And it's lovely when people ask me, but sometimes I just want to sit and watch some shit on my phone, you know, and eat a panini. So she was like, oh, I'm going out for a school reunion. And then I was like, oh, that sounds nice. I said, where do you live? And she said, I live in Cambridge. And I said, oh, that's nice. And she went, well, the thing is. Was she Scottish then? No, no, she wasn't. No, I said, that's weird. How come?
6:15Anna Williamson:Yeah. You know, she went, well, I've travelled a lot in my life. She said, there's not many of us left now, actually, in our school reunion. How old is this new friend of yours? Well, I said to you, how old are you? She's 84, right? She was 84, but a really young 84. Her name is Patricia, OK? I now have a legit octogenarian friend called Patricia. So Patricia was giving up Louie's literally head in hand. So she's going to do her school reunion, right? it was really quite lovely. You have an 84 year old friend. Then I got in touch. What are you going to do with this friend? Then we started talking and then she started saying that she lived in China.
6:52Anna Williamson:Oh wow. Exactly. She's a professor at one of the Cambridge Universities. I know this when you start getting chatting to people. Okay. You know she had the most fascinating life. Turns out she was a single parent from like the age dot like a 19 year old mum because her husband cleared off. So she basically you know when you see people you're like you're fucking inspiring actually. Patricia's nailed life. Patricia, like, did her own fucking thing at the age of, like, 1920 with her baby. She went to China and she, like, lectures in China studies. Wow. Like, that's what, like, and she's travelled the world and she was living in, like, Nigeria and all these kind of places, like, in the 80s, 70s and 80s, which weren't, like, common, you know, for, like, a white middle class person in the UK.
7:31Anna Williamson:You were quite in awe of Patricia then, aren't you? I was quite in awe. And then she raised this lad of hers. Yeah. Well, I was quite in awe of old Patricia. I was really quite fond of her. Did she exchange numbers? Well, Patricia asked for my number. Because when we were getting off, and then she said, oh, I really hope you have a lovely time. When she asked me what I did, I said, oh, you won't know what I do. And she went, oh, I'm afraid I don't. But maybe I will start to watch. And then she had an idea, a telly idea she wanted to pitch to me to do with some of her studies. She went, do you know who I could speak to about this?
7:59Anna Williamson:I was like, oh, I'm sure I could put you in touch with somebody. It was quite a good idea, actually. It was like a flip on Desert Island Discs. I went, good for you, Patricia. Then she went, I've really enjoyed chatting. She said, if ever you're in Cambridge... Did you say I am? I said, I am Patricia. I'm often up in Cambridge. Yes, you are. And she said, well, would you mind if I took, would you like my number? I know. Are you going to meet up with her? Well, I think if I go to Cambridge, I will drop her a text because she has, like, sent me a text message. And then she sent me, so I gave her my number, and then she wanted to check I'd got the right number.
8:29Anna Williamson:Oh, so she was like, give me your actual number, Anna. Don't change a digit. Don't be that person. Anyway, I've got Patricia's, and then, oh, sorry, big incident. I thought she was fascinating. And then I said, what's your full name? And I can't remember the surname she gave me now. I've got it written down in my phone. But she went, Patricia so-and-so, she went, actually, she said, you might know the surname. She said, my ex-husband actually, she married again, was really rather famous. And it turns out her ex-husband won the Nobel Peace Prize. Oh! This woman is fascinating. Get around for a cup of tea.
8:56Anna Williamson:When I say she was the most interesting 84-year-old I've ever spoken to, I'm not like, well, anyway, me and old Pat. And then she drops me a text message later that night. Text or WhatsApp? Can't remember, actually. Text or what? I can't remember. I just need to check a minute. And she was like, I really hope you got on well with your telly show. And I was like, I just want to check you got safely to your friends because you had to get like another train to go up. Did you get your train safely? Oh, we had a lovely meal and a lovely meal with our friends. It was really fun. And then I'm going for lunch tomorrow before getting the plane.
9:24Anna Williamson:Which plane back are you getting? I've got myself a new friend. I mean, I'll be honest. I haven't texted back. I must text. I will drop Patricia a message. Well, she's got my number. She can hustle me. But there you go. So there's my story about making friends with an 80-year-old on a plane. Very cute. There you go. Amen. That's all I've got to share this week. Very cute.
9:49Anything else you want to share, guys? I was going to tell you something and then I can't remember what it was now. I'm in ADHD moment. ADHD, that's fine. If it comes to you.
9:58Anna Williamson:If it comes to you. I don't know what it was. Was it about a plane? Aeroplane? I can't remember. Sometimes I see in our notes there's stuff that you jot in there that you want to talk about. was there something about a plane was there was there was there was there was there was that what you were going to say so basically this is how we roll I've got a little tip but this might go into rec-o-secco oh well should we get on to that yeah go on then right it's time for oh it's time for it's in my mind now guys it's the rec-o-secco the rec-o-secco it's the rec-o-secco go okay so my rec-o-secco sorry I've just realised we've skipped ahead we'll have to go back to this oh yeah is talking about you just touched on it when you got on the plane and you were like middle seat was empty win winning I now when I get on a plane have got a reco I book a seat next to me as well it's brilliant if you're rich I book and I pay for two seats so that I don't have to sit next to anyone on the yeah I do do that is there a cap on how much Andrew started it Andrew started it for me.
11:07So he's like, I've booked me next to you even though I'm not flying with you.
11:12Anna Williamson:So when you check in though, how does it work when they're in that seat? Well, the other day I checked in. They could move people into that seat. Well, the other day I checked in and so Andrew checked in too even though he wasn't flying. And then she was like, oh, where's the other passenger travelling with you? And I was like, oh, he's not coming. But I've paid for that seat and he's checked in so don't fill it. They never fill it. I've never had anyone sit in it. Can I ask? I don't know. There might be like plain people listen to this. Like, no, if they don't turn up, then they're not on. Then if you've paid for that seat, you own that seat.
11:44But I've paid for it, yeah. That's your prerogative. That's my rec-o-sec-o. Book the seat next seat. That's what I've had to start doing to avoid people.
11:51Anna Williamson:But also, actually, and I hope I'm not being in any way insensitive, but larger people, I believe, also do book the two seats sometimes if they can't fit into one seat. So, yeah, I'm genuinely curious. is there a cut off financially of what you would pay for two seats like would you just do that on a cheap hopper like a Ryanair just like the Ryanair and the Ease gel you wouldn't be booking up an Emirates Dubai Dubai hop for four and a half grand each way no well I fly business anyway she flies she flies first anyway Babs okay but yeah although actually I have to say with the kids now if it's a day flight to Dubai I just fly premium economy yeah it's a waste of money flying business don't need all of that don't need all that stuff but if it's just like a Ryanair to Italy or to France or whatever.
12:34You buy the second seat. I just buy the seat next to me.
12:37Anna Williamson:Do you know what? If it's like only 50 quid or something, because you don't just pay for the bags or anything, do you? So yeah, I suppose if it's 50 quid. You just get the cheapest seat and it keeps it free. Actually, thinking about it now, me getting that Glasgow, just the EasyJet, that was a£35 seat. Exactly. And you're right. If I got the£35 one next to me as well. You would have done it, no? I would have totally done that. Just book it under Alex's name, check him in because you have his passport details, and then no one sits next to you. I like it. I like it. I like that though, Because you say some of those low-cost airlines, actually, it really is not that much.
13:04Anna Williamson:You're not paying for the luggage and all that shit. And normally if they're checked in, they don't know until they get to the point of then boarding. And at that point, they're not going to move anyone. No. And if anyone tries mid-flight, you're like, yeah. Well, I had a whole row the other day and this woman, I don't know, I was in like the... You booked the whole row? No, I didn't book it. I just booked the one next to me. But then the one on the aisle was also empty. but I was in like the emergency exit so it was like a lot of leg room and the woman behind me her feet were swelling so she came and sat on the end and I thought I hope your husband doesn't come and sit next to you now and I was going to say if he did I was going to be like sorry I booked that seat here's my boarding pass I need it for anxiety reasons I was about to say what excuse were you going to pull out I just say I'm anxious anxious he can't sit next to him I can't be close to people actually that would help not that I have my flight anxiety but it would actually help That's why it helped with Patricia.
14:00Anna Williamson:I had my seat. And then you can always, that's how we started chatting because we both used the communal pull-down tray. Love it. Love that Reco. That's my Reco Seco. Shall I pop in with mine whilst Imo's fannying with a thing? So my Reco Seco this week is a product. Right. I've fallen back in, I don't know if I fell out of it to be honest, but particularly back in love with Aldi at the moment. Oh, okay. I am recosecoing the knockoff Aldi Aperol. It's called Aperini. Real knockoff there, isn't it? That is bad. Normal Aperol is£17.99. I fully pay that. It's worth every penny. Fucking love Aperol.
14:41Anna Williamson:I don't like Aperol. Love it. Aperini. Do you like Aperol? No, too bitter. Yeah, too bitter. Aperini, it tastes just the same and it's£6.99. Wow. So my Reco Secco is knock-off Aperol from Audi. Have you ever seen the reformer Pilates machines in Audi? Because I really want one. No, but I would totally buy one. Yeah. They're like folding reformers that they do. I want one. Right. There you go. Love that. So we've got buying yourself an extra plane seat. We've got knock-off Audi Aperol. Imo. Mine is another TV show. Good. Yeah. It's on Disney+. It's called Alice and Steve. Steve. Saw this advertised.
15:21Anna Williamson:Alice and Steve. Who's the actress in this? Oh, what's her name? It's a famous actress. Oh, she's so good. Yeah, really good. I've forgotten her name. What's it about? She's blonde. It's about Alice and Steve are best mates. They're like older, 40s maybe. Their best pals have been for a long time. She's married to someone else, obviously. Has kids, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. her daughter comes home after breaking up with her boyfriend and shag Steve yeah and chaos Nicola Walker Nicola Walker love Nicola Walker she's amazing yeah Nicola Walker is in I don't know who that is oh gosh she's been in loads of stuff like all the crime dramas on ITV she's brilliant she did a brilliant series I forget the name of where she was a lawyer with two sisters yes oh she's a cork she's amazing she's like an Olivia Coleman type actress it's quite like chaotic quite like dark humour she's done well Disney Plus drama it's really good like they're shorter episodes it's just very digestible we like binged it very quickly Alice and Steve seen it advertised we'll give that a go also can I just say Imo recommended a podcast called Sweet Bobby did you like it?
16:35yeah and when I was driving to Holland the other week and doing my big drive to Holland and back in a day I totally binged Sweet Bobby and it was a great record
16:45Anna Williamson:what was it on? it was one of those Tortoise ones again yes, Tortoise one so I've still got that ruddy subscription to the app I had to do you don't need the subscription but what's it on? it's on all your podcasts sweet Bobby any podcast? it's about just because people will ask okay so I wonder if I'd love to hear from listeners who listened to it when Imo actually record it which was probably a couple of months ago now I think I maybe mentioned it offhand didn't you just do an IWAT subchat? I think I mentioned it offhand on the pod but I properly recommended it to you on text. Okay well anyway it's basically about catfishing scenario that goes on for 10 years and they're like fully in a relationship I mean can we just say that woman is a fucking dickhead I mean I literally was shouting in the lorry as I'm driving along like you are so fucking stupid you ridiculous gullible woman.
17:44I have never been so frustrated listening to someone and I actually had no sympathy for her whatsoever. Well, I haven't listened. I'm looking forward to it. So I'm going to. Fourth record. Fourth record. Emma has mentioned it before. But yeah, because I need a pod chat around this. There is also a Netflix documentary about it, which basically says the same story, but the podcast is more in depth and better, I think. Because you hear from her, then you hear from Bobby. But she's also in the Netflix documentary. Oh, she's lording it up. I've actually never known a grown woman who'd be so successful and clearly intelligent be so stupid.
18:28It's frustrating. Well, can't wait to find out what it's all about. Can you listen so we can debrief? I will, I will.
18:33Anna Williamson:Six episodes. Six episodes, done. Binge it before our next report. I actually, can I just say, thank you, Imo, for bringing out Reco Seco because I am watching and listening to so much more since doing this. And I bloody love it.

19:11Anna Williamson:so it's almost like throwing out so we want to hear from you guys as well I said what I said and then we will unpick it maybe we'll agree with you maybe we'll be shocked and aghast at you that how dare you even think that why not and do you know what I think this is particularly good because sometimes people think I sit on the fence and I do proudly so but sometimes I don't and I think for this one I'm going to come off my fence oh are you it depends on the subject well it depends and this can be I said what I said it can be as trivial as can be it could be sailing close to the wire let's see so is this what like we said what it said or is this because there's a little list here these examples these are ones of that some listeners have already so shall we unpick and what are we doing one a week two a week well we can pick out a couple and then if we want to throw in our own we can I mean or we could kick things off with our own go on then go on you've got one I can see I said what I said yeah go on she's getting her chav face is coming out Making you sound really big.

I said what I said. Well, can I just say that you bought me a coffee this morning from Starbucks. And I said to you, try this coffee. It's really nice. And you tried it. and you were like, oh my God, it's so nice. Oh, I really like that. And guess what fucking milk it was? Oat milk. It was a nut milk. However. It was an oat milk, not just a nut milk. It was an oat milk that you have just had. You hate it. It tastes disgusting.
Read the full transcript
20:53Don't like oat milk. I miss you. You love that drink.
20:55Anna Williamson:But when it's in coffee and like. Oh, I love that. I think I liked that one because it was so sugary and full of caramel and all that. And it was very, very nice. But the oat milk thing. Oh, earthy. Hates it. It's earthy, it's creamy. Give me the milk of a cow any day. Can I just say, if we're now debating milk, it's not normal to drink milk from a cow. Cow's milk is designed to grow a baby calf into a big fat cow. The rate at which that calf grows into a cow. I have a big fat cow and I like a cow milk. It's extreme. It's not normal for us. and also the amount of hormones and shit that they're pumping into those cows because of the infections that they get in their udders because they're constantly connected to these machines being sucked dry and then they have to artificially keep them sound and healthy.
21:48It's also not normal. Sorry to all the dairy farmers out there, but I just don't really agree with it. And then we are drinking that milk like it's going out of fashion, which they then have to treat with a load of shit to actually make it safe to drink because it's not safe to drink raw milk because it's not homo-whatever-fied. And therefore, drinking milk from like oats or nuts or almonds is... Oh, it tastes like shit. It doesn't. It's far more normal. It's like watery, watery drops. It's not normal to drink the milk of a different species. It's just not fucking normal. It's not right. It's full of hormones.
22:27Anna Williamson:It's shitty. Bring me a cow any day. But I know everyone else seems to love oat milk and I am fine with that. But for me, I said what I said. I hate oat milk. It's shite. Anyone else got an opinion they want to check out or should we dive it over to Arlifanians? I've got one. Go on. It's not seasonal. I've said it before. I don't like the film Elf. I think it's shit. The end. Get out of the door. Everyone raves about it at Christmas time. It's not for you. It's just not for me. I've never seen it. It's not my humour. I love Elf. It's not for me. But that's okay. You said it. It's an unpopular opinion.
22:56Anna Williamson:I don't get it. And we'll take it. Okay, can I just say something too then, please? Yeah, of course you can. Today, my daughter is performing in Mary Poppins. Okay? And I'm not fucking going because she's got a shitty ensemble part. Non-speaking. There's no aircon in there. It's a non-speaking part and I'm not going because I have to work today and it was very much a stress trying to do everything I had to do today. I had a conference call from eight to a half night. Mama's earning the bread, baby. And then we have to record the pod and then I've got more content to film and nanny nat went and she went to me honestly it's shit all she does is sing in a shitty bonnet and it's fucking hot in there and it's not worth your time going and therefore i am not going to watch my daughter because i'm prioritizing work over that and i've said it i'm not interested in going to see her unless she's got a main part equally i didn't go and watch claiming's woodwind bullshit either because I don't like it.
23:52It's too noisy for me. All the kids and the fucking woodwind instruments is shit.
24:00Anna Williamson:Mummy's neurodivergent, darling. I don't like the noise. I also sent Nanny Nat to that and she had to send me videos of her banging shit and making a load of noise and it was shit. Okay? There's a reason why I didn't become a teacher and I don't enjoy these noisy things at school. I don't want to go. I've got other shit to do than watch snotty little spoiled fuckwits try and play a fucking triangle, okay? I'm too busy. She said what she said. I think that was a double of the corking rant. I said what I said. And I'm sorry to all the teachers at the school. You do a great job and I really like you all, especially Miss Emblin, who is a big fan.
24:43But I don't want to go to that fucking school. And watch shit other people's fucking children.
24:51Anna Williamson:I can't do it. I know some of the teachers at my kids' school listening to this thinking, Anna, will you be at the school summer performance of which you are being... Yes, I will be there. I will be there. See, you're a better mum than me. No, only because I've elevated Enzo's part. It's too noisy. Only because I've elevated his part. I want to go and give them a bit of showbiz jazz hands. No, I'm... Well, listen, you guys, we threw it open to you on the socials. Here is some of what you said. Strong. Dyslexia is a myth. Interesting. Squirting is more hassle than it's worth. No. Retired people should only be allowed out between 9am and 2.30pm.
25:28Anna Williamson:Well, aren't they normally? That's my mum. She does. She only really goes out between 9am and 2.30pm. My mum's back indoors by 4pm. She's back indoors, yeah. Oh, it's a... Oh, it's a... Unloading a Sainsbury's shop. Yeah. You're right, actually. And also, they shouldn't be allowed to fucking drive fucking slow c***s. Right. Too slow. I'm sorry, but if you drive too slow, you should be prostituted. Actually, the opposite of that. My mother is the opposite. Oh, my God. She's like, pew. Well, she's like you, isn't she? She absolutely toes it, my mother. We've got one here which, oh, my gosh, get in the bin.
25:57Anna Williamson:Sacrilege. Someone said, I don't get the hype around David Attenborough. Oh, he's a national treasure. Oh, he's a national treasure, babes. Did you write that one in there? No, I didn't. You better not. I didn't. What else have we got, Luke? Kids should be potty trained before school. Now, this went a bit viral recently. Someone who said it. Louise Thompson. And she said that. And I have to say, I do think that for regularly functioning children, we've actually spoken about this on the platform, they should absolutely be potty trained before school. There is no reason why a normal, not neurodiversion or any other ECA, all that other bullshit, right, eliminate those kids from the situation.
26:36But other children, like our kids, that are pretty normal, a couple of ours are a little bit neuro-spicy, but they were still potty trained before school and they should be, I'm sorry, but at four years old, you should be pissing in a toilet and shitting in a toilet. Although I say that, Dixie, she's going to hate me, did used to want me to put a little pull up on her so she could go and shit behind the sofa.
27:00Anna Williamson:That's so common with kids though. She had a thing about shitting, very common. It's so common because the first thing they used to is a nappy when they warm. She used to hold it all day at school then. Yeah, and it's the comfort of pooing against something. But if you talk to Catherine Ryan, and she's got those kids potty train when they're babies. She does elimination training. She does elimination training. They do that in Sicily. Alex's nonna used to always say that as well, that when they were kids, she'd had them train practically as they were walking. I do think that normal functioning children that aren't all the extra ABCs.
27:30Yeah, no SEM, that's it. SEM to NIC, you know, yeah. That they should be trained before school. What do you think?
27:37Anna Williamson:Yeah. Yeah, essentially. They've not got special learning difficulties. I think with all these things, as you say, you know, Louise did get herself in hot water about it. But I think, you know, like everything. And I get it. I get it. You get very defensive. People get defensive about their children. Of course, I'm defensive around mine, you know. But at the same time, I think, yeah, broadly speaking, I think what we're talking about with this. I think broadly speaking is the right expression. Broadly speaking, it's what we're really nitty gritting about that is we're looking at our late parents, are parents being lazy, not potty training their children?
28:11Anna Williamson:And are they expecting teachers to do that for them? And as you say, and I think there's a huge then caveat around children that obviously have additional needs and we have nothing but empathy and sympathy for those parents and those children who it is very difficult and it is not as simple as spending three days to do a potty training programme. Those children are never trained to go to the toilet and they literally spend their life in nothing. And I think, as we all know with the work that we do, Sometimes poor choice of words can unintentionally get in hot water. I can relate to that. Exactly.
28:41Anna Williamson:Two more we have. Next up. I can't stand up. Are you joking? Chicky cute. I know what I know. Sex is overrated. Four plays better. Could sometimes agree. Fair. So that is our new feature. We would love to hear what you said. I said what I said. I said what I said. Do send in your I said what I said to Luana at everythingluana.com. Or on 075215 6464 Right,
29:15messages. Lou? We've got a message from a non. So, Lou Sasshole. Lou Sasshole. Lou Sasshole. Hi, ladies. I swore I'd never tell this story to another living soul. It was too embarrassing to curse. But then I found your podcast. A place where shame goes to thrive. and I knew this is where my truth belonged. So here it is. The story of how pasta, poor timing and my digestive system briefly became an international incident. I went on a Mediterranean cruise and did what you do. Ate all the pasta, drank all the drinks, had an unreasonable amount of fun. Every port blurred together in a haze of carbs and cocktails.
29:54By the last day, I felt a little backed up, but I thought nothing of it. I prefer to do important things at home with familiar plumbing. It's true. departure day was chaos endless lines delays and gate changes by the time we boarded my body silent all crews filed an urgent complaint we sat on that runway forever with the engine humming and my stomach started becoming a ticking time bomb the second the seatbelt sign went off I sprinted to the bathroom and unleashed the biggest foulest shit of my life but the flush did nothing I flushed again and it was still there. Airplane toilets are supposed to suck things into another dimension, but not this shit.
30:37This shit had resolved. I gave up. Oh, no! And slunk back to my aisle seat three rows away, praying that no one would go in next. Of course, a flight attendant eventually did.
30:52She came out, immediately horrified. called a colleague who went in and emerged. Looking even worse, my ship remained undefeated. I heard them say they had to notify the captain. The captain just put an out of order sign on it and let my shame rest. But no, because, fun fact, I learned the hard way that planes need a minimum number of working toilets. Short of that, it's a safety issue. That called for an emergency landing. My shit had grounded a 737. Stop it! You think that's bad? It gets worse. Fixing the plumbing took so long that the flight crew exceeded their legal working hours. So we were all stranded overnight.
31:50I can't deal with this waiting for a fresh crew. Unfortunately, neither the ground nor an airport toilet was willing to swallow me whole. Stop it. So I had to sit there all night in shame, questioning my life's choices, wondering how many of my fellow travellers knew that this unscheduled stop in France happened because of my shit. Lots of love. Loose sasshole. Wow.
32:14Anna Williamson:Never, ever, ever have I heard a story that your turd grounded a 737. Overnight, without a crew. Oh, my God. That is brilliant. I'd have just poked it down. I'd have been a fellow passenger. With what? I don't know. Anything. A pencil? Sellotaped a couple of pencils together? I'd have done anything. Where are you finding sellotape and pencils? Well, I don't know. Anything. She would have used a finger. I would have happily chopped up someone else's turd in order to not ground that flight. Would you? Yeah. You wouldn't know that you were grounded in that world. They wouldn't have said. I would have wanted them to stick up the PA system.
32:50Sorry to announce. Sorry to announce. Emergency landing in France.
32:53Anna Williamson:I'm due to my shit that won't flush. Message from... Sorry. She also reminded me of my plane trip with Patricia the other day. I also had to pop into... Well, it was the morning, guys. It was the 7am flight out. Oh, she'd had her coffee. Yeah. Message from Joseph. Hi, Luanna. This is either the best idea I've ever had or the worst. So naturally, I'm bringing it to you. That's what we like. I'm a 25-year-old gay man from the UK. Beckenham originally, now modern. Apparently, I'm reasonably attractive, according to other people, not just my own delusions. Have my life together fairly well. And I've realised that what I want more than anything is to be a dad one day.
33:31Anna Williamson:Love that. The problem is that traditional routes to parenthood for gay men are complicated, expensive, and often take years. so I found myself wondering whether there are women out there perhaps lesbians or women who don't want a traditional relationship with a man who would also like a child and would be interested in some sort of co-parenting arrangement to be clear I'm not looking to disappear after conception or to be a weekend dad I'd want to be fully involved in a child's life I'm talking about a genuine co-parenting setup where both adults intentionally choose to raise a child together just without the romantic relationship a beautiful friendship would be fucking amazing for us all am i completely mad did this actually happen in the real world have you heard of people successfully doing this and if so we're on earth for people even meet each other for something like this i'm sure you spoke about this briefly before but i'm talking about me right now lol love the podcast og fan joseph i'm sure this does happen i wouldn't know where to start looking yeah i think i think when it comes to start looking i think the i think the important thing to remember here and i know you're not suggesting this but just to remember that a child is you know it's not a pet you know it's a commodity you know you can't just you know just decide to have a child and whatever the setup is you know willy-nilly but but that's not what you're saying to be imagine though if your views a bit like we had a story the other week didn't we about that lady and her husband they had really differing views on on um gays same-sex relationships but imagine like having as you go on this journey you then discover actually that you're quite different well i think this is it sounds it's not impossible to do i wouldn't actually know where to go to get a surrogate well so i think i think do it yourself i think there's a lot of variables to play into exactly as lou's saying that you know to get on i think this has to be an organic relationship friendship like with your best mate yeah or even you know exactly yeah I think trying to construct this I think is very difficult and also for the the longevity of it I think is is is quite pie in the sky not to say it can't happen I think I mean I've got many gay friends who um I've got a couple of gay friends actually who have adopted and I totally appreciate as well you know the want to have a biological child and I can really imagine how that must feel and it must feel really difficult I know Emma you speak about it you know you're Naomi when you are in a same-sex relationship and there does feel like a bit of choice and power taken away from that to an extent and I have nothing but empathy around that um but I'm just thinking of my friends now who've adopted a couple of boys um gay couple and they find it so fulfilling like just so fulfilling having that and I've got another gay couple friend who got three children actually three adopted children you know all my gay couple friends don't want kids none of them Got kids, yeah.
36:15Anna Williamson:Yeah, but I think as Lucy, but there is surrogacy as well as an option, and I know... Very expensive doing that. Or adoption. What I would actually suggest you do, actually just give you some sort of positive, practical signposting. There's a guy called Sam who I sort of, is like an Instagram friend of mine, and his Instagram is two dads, and I think, no, their children are adopted, but there are quite a few people, especially on Instagram now, of gay guys who have been through the surrogacy journey. And I watched it in a podcast years ago with one on the current, I remember the name for Love and Money.
36:45Anna Williamson:But if you look it up, it won't be hard to find. Some really interesting books and podcasts around that. And I'm wondering if you just absorb yourself in that narrative and that peership, you might find a bit more catharsis and maybe some options around the route you might like to go down. But I actually know someone who is currently pregnant and is going to co-parent and do a completely platonic raising of a child. And how did that come about? So she's known, she has like a really, really close guy mate that she's known for years and years and years they both decided they wanted a child and they were like and she's gay or no they're both i think they're both straight and well she's straight and um what then happens though when she might meet someone and what happens if one wants to move to australia is the baby biologically there yeah so it's so it is yeah and she actually i was speaking to her about this because i read this message and i was talking to a little bit and she was saying how one of her gay friends is exploring a co-parenting situation there's a website actually called uh prideangel.com okay which is full of people looking for i guess like this yeah kind of like families in non-traditional ways yeah um people who are open to co-parenting people who are looking for sperm donors people look for egg donors people like stuff like that.
38:11So that's maybe something you can maybe...
38:12Anna Williamson:Which I think is great because we are a declining birth rate as well. And I think, you know, I know we often bash in our kids, as in verbally, I'm not just saying we bash our children. No. But having children, honestly, is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. I love being a mum. I do. I moan about it, but I actually do love it. Yeah, we love it. Me and my little Clemmie the other night, we went to B &M together, decorated her little... She's getting her own little tack room now. she was wallpapering I was teaching her how to wallpaper it's so fun and so me and my two I was dicking around with Enzo the other day he's got such a personality that kid he's just literally me in boy form and I find it such a rewarding thing and actually I do think it is great that there's more opportunity and acceptance and avenues for people that might not traditionally be able to have children and to make it more accessible and acceptable what's the website it's called Pride Angel great go and check that good luck to you yeah good luck right message on and on so live Metis-tizzalone.
39:10Leave Metis-tizzalone. Hi, gang. Please keep me in on. Feel free to use my retired porn star name, Live Metis-tizzalone, if this gets read out. It's a bit of a cringy story, and whilst I'm remaining a non to save professional embarrassment, my friends that listen to your glorious pod will crack up when they hear this, as they know all about my shenanigans. So, here we go. Many years ago, I was part of a large friendship group, all with different characters and traits and it was great. One of these says friends was a bit of a wannabe TV personality and had signed herself up with an agency hoping to break into the world of telly.
39:46One day she got a call to appear on an E4 game show called Fanorama. Oh, it's my home station. And was given the task of providing a specialist subject about which she would be quizzed. Needless to say, she was ecstatic. She began reading up on obscure facts about her topic and had picked out a fab outfit. Nearer the time, she asked me to accompany her as I was the confident one and would give her the pep talk that she would need. The day arrived, I hadn't paid too much attention to what she had committed to and was focused on what I was going to wear, how we were getting there, what she might need.
40:20I packed snacks, energy drinks and had a heap of encouragement ready to give. Upon arrival, she had the most epic freak out, eyes on stalks, couldn't breathe, announced that she couldn't do it. She was having a panic attack and all eyes turned to me. whilst I was comforting her the rather flustered runner asked me would I step in as they were essentially unable to have a vacant space on a team I too now had eyes on stalks and all of a sudden I felt sick I was told the specialist subject was EastEnders I have no fucking idea about EastEnders don't watch it, I have no interest in it but I did have confidence and thought I could blag it so I put on my best smile checked with my friend it was okay and off I went.
41:03What on earth was I doing? I love this. Very soon I was behind the scenes being prepped while she had a cuppa and relaxed in the wings. I was told all about how the desk for each panel would have a screen on it. When considering my answer, I should look down at it. Then look at the host. Never look up at the gallery of producers or directly into the camera. Lots to remember. Bit of a blur. Got on set and realised the host was Claudia Winkleman and the two panel hosts were David Mitchell and Rhys Thomas. Wow. The nerves hit me like a truck. I went red. I had to ask for a glass of water as my throat was as dry as Gandhi's flip-flop.
41:37Fast forward through a series of trial ones where I kept fucking up and looking at the camera. Several glasses of water later, it was very hot under the lights, we were ready, given the go-ahead and the cameraman counted down. Oh God, I now needed a wee. My bladder, now under extreme pressure, was ready to empty and I had no choice but to wave my arms about to stop proceedings and excuse myself. The runner from earlier came over and pointed offset to the right and a series of staff along the way indicated the best route to the loo. I fled from the desk and dashed past. What a right pain in the arse I was being.
42:10In the toilet, relief hit me. I yanked my jeans down and the weed gushed out of me. But along with the sound of... Oh, I've done this. Yeah, I've done it too. It was a huge plop and I realised the mic pack that was clipped to my back pocket has flipped up, pinged off and dived into the loo. I was mid-flow and I couldn't stop peeing. I had to empty my bladder and then I hatched a pan to fish it out, wipe it down and dry it under the dryer. Pee finished, packed wipe, dried and reattached. I suddenly realised I'd taken quite some time and I entered the set apologising. Everyone was staring at me.
42:45No words spoken and I had the worst feeling that my mic had been left on. They'd all heard me peeing and swearing and the hand dryer going like the clappers and me announcing, I'll do, because I dashed back down again. I wondered if someone told me they would have heard me, but I didn't find out as something much worse happened next. I sat back down, got a final briefing. There was a countdown and we were off, but my mic wasn't working. Oh, yeah, that was never going to work. Front it weighs from the producers. The salman was touching his headphones, listening to instructions. Technician came over, fiddling with the mic.
43:16A few attempts to fix it. Even a replacement came, but there was still no sound coming from me. I had to keep saying one, two, one, two, over and over. and then the technician said he would check the mic. Oh, no. Oh, no. And wanted the ground to swallow me up. As he reached behind me to unclip the pack, I flushed Redder's beetroot and realised the pack had failed because of my toilet faux pas. He pressed a few buttons, said he would replace the batteries. Sweet Jesus, no. He held the pack in front of me, slid off the battery cover, went to tip the batteries into his hand and a tsunami of my piss sloshed out, covering his hand on my desk right in front of my home.
43:54I was rumbled and the technician asked me quietly, did this by any chance fall into the loo? No, I said immediately. And then the runner appeared with some blue roll mopped it all up. I was mortified. I really didn't have any predetermined expressions or anything clever to say. I just carried on, bright red, with a desk stinking of urine, three celebs smirking away at me. What an introduction to telly. And what a way to meet three fab celebs. I didn't win the show, but I did learn all about resilience. and after that and I've never been quite as embarrassed again thanks to the Armenian pod and thanks for all that you do I've quite a few things that I'm going to be writing in about so keep an eye out for my retired porn star name well we've all been there I've ruined quite a few mic packs me too
44:40Anna Williamson:and actually one of them was in the back of a wetsuit I was wearing I was doing some random like windsurfing on a lake as you do and I had the mic packs zipped into the back of the wetsuit but I had got the shits like I had the shits and the shits went and I had to run off and I was in my haste to pull the cord down of a wetsuit you know the long zip so I yanked it down and as I yanked it down sat on the toilet all in one foul motion plop went in and I diarrhoed all over the pack a long time ago you cleaned it off right? I had to just be they were like things like that that's 7 ,000 pounds that's Santa Quintana just used I came out and I went I've just shat.
45:22Anna Williamson:They knew I had a dicky tummy but I said let's do the shoot. See, showbiz guys. Showbiz. That is showbiz. That's showbiz. And I went, I've just shat. I'm sorry. Well, I just dropped mine in the toilet. What, for fun? No, when I, when you go to the loo and then you forget that it's there. Yeah, yeah. Then that's the end.

45:59Anna Williamson:Newsy bits. A Mississippi man loses a real estate job after calling cops on a dad in a woman's bathroom with his two girls. Wow, what a headline. So after a video of a man confronting a dad with his two daughters in a woman's lav went viral, a Mississippi-based real estate company has cut ties with his former contractor. So this is down to several social media posts that were shared to Overstreet Property's Instagram page. And the company decided it will no longer be associated with the man who confronted Tyler Brodsky and his two daughters, explaining his behaviour doesn't reflect the values of the real estate company.
46:36Anna Williamson:So what is this video? I hear you all cry. Have you not seen it? No. They did the big rounds on social media. I haven't seen it. So on June 16th, Brodsky shared a video on his TikTok where he could be seen helping his daughters wash their hands in a public restroom. As he's filming, another man appears in the background talking loudly on the phone. There is a man with his two little girls using the bathroom, the man yelled into the phone. He is washing his hands with his daughters right now. He called the police on him. What? One of Brodsky's daughters? The dad was with his daughters. The dad was with his daughters in the, I think, women's bathroom washing their hands.
47:10Yeah. And then this man was on the phone in the background, on the phone to the police, like there's a man in the women's bathrooms with his children. Right. What's the problem here then?
47:19Anna Williamson:Because he was in the women's bathroom. Yeah, but his daughter's a little. So one of Brodsky's daughters was crying and huddling close to her dad while the other man continued to berate him. That's so mean. It's all right, baby, the dad said, while the older man repeatedly stated that his wife was trying to use the bathroom with her mum, who he said was ill. I knocked and announced I'm coming in with two girls, which at this time the bathroom was empty, recounted Brodsky, the dad. This guy comes in, starts yelling, demanding we need to leave. I should have taken them to the men's restroom, which I disagreed with.
47:46Anna Williamson:I've personally, but I will agree with this and I'll tell you why. I've personally been in men's restrooms. I just didn't feel it was a good place to take two little girls. Am I wrong here? No, he's not. We've actually said the same with our kids. Brodsky's posted on an update to TikTok explaining how the incident was resolved, sharing that the police arrived very quickly and said they were very professional, very nice and very quickly de-escalated the situation. The police ultimately asked the man to leave the store and then approached Broski's daughters to reassure them there was no danger of being in the bathroom.
48:11Oh, God, he's traumatised his kids.
48:13Anna Williamson:This is interesting. He'd like to chat online about which toilets kids should be bought into with each parent with one Instagrammer saying, end this debate, it's been solved. Dad plus daughter equals women's restroom. Mum plus daughter equals women's restroom. Dad plus son, men's restroom. Mum plus son, women's restroom. It shouldn't be controversial, but somehow it is. What do we think? Do you know what? Andrew takes mine into the men's with him. Does he? Yeah, so we were at Wembley. we went to the Capital Summertime Bull and the queues for the women's were huge so he just kept taking them with him into the men's so I think that's really interesting actually and I think essentially it is down to the parents discretion of what they want to do I think everyone just again when does people don't want to take their daughters into the men's because the men are at urinals is that why?
48:55Anna Williamson:so with our kids Alex now Alex has stopped taking L but he has stopped taking L into men's urinals, unless he has to, if I'm not there or it doesn't feel appropriate, or he'll choose the disabled loo, you know, if he can access them. Because he says the same thing. He says, you know, there's men's urinals. In his, this is Alex, he went there, often a lot dirtier, a lot more filthy. But actually, we've had this recently when we do swimming with the kids. Often Alex will take the kids without me. And previously, he would take both the children into the men's changing rooms. He now doesn't feel comfortable doing that with Elle around because he said, there's so many and he said men are quite repulsive in his words he said but they're walking around with their knobs out as you would in a changing room or on the toilets and coming out the showers and he said he doesn't for him he said I don't think it's appropriate for our nearly 7 year old daughter who is very aware of nudity and we're quite liberal but he doesn't feel it's appropriate for her to be around men who quite rightly should be walking around with their knobs out if they want in a men's changing room so he will but he has to he has to sometimes yeah because you're not there but I think people need to be a little bit more considerate around, you know, if a man comes in with their daughter.
50:07Anna Williamson:But then mum and son, you don't mind your son seeing the women walking around naked. Well, Enzo goes in the, Enzo now, for his own choice, he's now nine, he says, I don't want to be in the girls' changing rooms. He will take himself into the boys' changing rooms. But when he was younger, you would take him into the women's. Yeah, but Alex would take Elle too. It's actually only really been in the last month or so now that he just didn't feel it was that appropriate. But again, I don't have any issue with it. And obviously I'm not going to let him be an L on their own in a ladies' change room. But it is an interesting topic.
50:35Anna Williamson:Good one. Yeah, that is. Right, weird story. A man has turned off at hospital after injecting semen into his arm for 18 months to relieve pain. Did it work? So this guy was 33. He sought medical attention after experiencing a severe sudden onset lower back pain after lifting a heavy steel object three days prior. The doctor noticed that the man also had visible swelling in his lower right arm, and he confessed that was from injecting semen into the area. He revealed that he'd been using this DIY remedy for 18 months. His back pain had been going on longer than three days and he purchased a hypodermic needle online.
51:16He had extra vas-dation of semen into soft tissues, which means the semen had leaked into the surrounding tissue, the result of numerous failed injection attempts and a high white blood cell count. because obviously he's trying to fight an infection. In this instance, the man developed subcutaneous emphyxia, which is when air or gas finds its way into the deepest layer of the skin, as well as swelling and edema, which is swelling caused by excess fluid. He was admitted to hospital, given treatment to treat cellulitis, bacterial infection. He also, other complications included anaphylactic shock, tissue death and sepsis.
51:59His back brain improved while spending time as an inpatient. However, he discharged himself. That is the weirdest story ever.
52:09Anna Williamson:I have never heard of... Why would you think that it was going to help him? People are weird. The more exposure I have with you in race... It's that thought process, isn't it? I'm just going to spaff into a cup and then I'm going to inject it in my arm. Someone must have told him. Yeah, he's got to have found that on a TikTok video somewhere. Wild. It is now time for... It's the Widow of the Wee-Hee-Car. Right. It got anonymous, so Muriel, nominating boyfriend, anonymous, so Keith. Keith. Keith. Hi, ladies. If you hear a noise in the background, we've stuck a fan on because we're all sweating.
52:48Anna Williamson:Literally dripping out of our labias. Love you and all that jizz on the subject of jizz. A lot of jizz in this episode. I mean, here we are. I have a nomination for Weird of the Week. Please keep me in on. Me and my boyfriend use condoms. Well done. And after my boyfriend has finished in it, he takes it to the toilet, empties it and flushes it away before putting the condom in the bin. He says he does this so that nobody can steal it and plant it at a crime scene or have his DNA. Quite sensible, I'd say. Oh, I think this is so weird. Would love to know what you think. Thanks to everything you do on the pod, you're amazing.
53:22Anna Williamson:Sensible. I think he's got something to hide. I think, yeah. I think it's sensible. Right, we've got another one in front and on. So Adiman. Adiman. Adiman. Adiman. Adiman. I'm scraping the barrel in. Hi, girls. Hoverwood of the week. Years ago, I used to work in retail. Staff member I was working with that day went for her lunch. While on her lunch, I had to pop back into the staff room slash stock room to grab some stock. And she was dipping her egg sandwich into her cup of tea. I asked what she was doing. She said she always dips her egg sandwiches into her tea. I nearly threw up on the spot.
54:01I have never been able to drink tea since that day. All I can imagine is little egg pieces floating around. Surely this isn't normal. Well, it's not normal. It's not normal. This is why you are an excellent weirder of the week. It's our first one of July. Who's weirder?
54:17Anna Williamson:I am going with jizz in case someone steals his DNA. I'm going to go with egg sandwich and tea. Oh, you're the deciding vote, Emma. Eggie tea. Eggie tea. Eggie tea. I mean, I'm not going to lie. Eggie Tees rank. I'm not going to rant. I did it at the top. You did. Quite heavily. She said what she said. I said what I said. Let's be honest. We can all hard relate. We can all hard relate. We love the little shit bags, but we can hard relate. We do. So that is it for this week's Joanna, the podcast. But don't worry, guys. I know you're all worried. Don't worry.

From the publisher
On this week's LuAnna: Anna befriended an 84-year-old Nobel-adjacent professor on Ryanair, Lu's refusing to go to her daughter's school performance because she's got other shit to do, and we launch "I Said What I Said" where Anna hates oat milk, Imo hates the film Elf and we're saying it with our chests.
Plus, booking ghost plane seats, Aldi's £6.99 knockoff Aperol, a turd that grounded a 737, Anna's wetsuit diarrhoea confession, co-parenting advice for a gay listener, the "kids in which bathroom" debate after a dad got the police called on him, a man injecting semen into his arm for 18 months, and a woman who dips egg sandwiches into tea. Ew.
