"Leave the Moon alone!'

33:59She now feels absolutely no shame when they're racking up hours of screen time. as it's for the greater good. Voila.

34:06Anna Williamson:This is actually a really good tip. And Alex did this with the kids when, because you can switch, yeah, switch the setting onto a different. And so when we were kids, we used to have in Italian, oh, do you know Peter Rabbit? I used to get so, oh, I'm haunted. Peter conio. The Canadian rabbit, pita conio. Like this the whole time, Peter bloody rabbit. And Cinderella is cindarendola. but Alex used to make the kids watch Peppa Pig. And let me tell you now, just for the shits and giggles. Peppa Pig, that translated well. Peppa Pig, exactly. But when you watch Peppa Pig in Italian and you hear the dub, it's very, very amusing.

34:48Anna Williamson:Just for a laugh, go and watch one of those kids' favourite programmes in another language and it will crack you up. But bloody Pitagonia, scarred. It is a good tip. Although, if anything, like my kids and a lot of kids will then rebel against it and go, it's too difficult. They don't like it. they'll switch it back to English when they get the chance. It's impressive that her kids are stuck to her. Yeah, it's brilliant. Brilliant. Thank you for that. A bit of a reco, actually. Message for Anonymous say, Bertha. Dear Luanna, please keep me non and trigger warning for traumatic births. Ah, good for this.

35:19Anna Williamson:Because actually, I was going to quickly mention this. I'm doing quite a bit of active campaigning in Parliament, actually, around birth trauma. I was in a parliamentary debate a few weeks ago. Got a little bit impassioned. I actually cried in parliament and I swore then I felt really bad that I swore in parliament but then as the MP said to me she went if you can't say piss in parliament where can you there um so birth trauma she went I hope it's okay to ask um and I was wondering if Anna would be happy to share how she was able to move forwards from her traumatic birth and go on to have L of course I will happily share I gave birth 16 weeks ago to my amazing baby girl I had a low risk pregnancy but I suffered with horrendous antenatal anxiety, constantly worried that something awful was going to happen to the baby.

36:04Anna Williamson:I did have talking therapies for this but this has now gone out the window. I felt like I never enjoyed being pregnant at all and being a small person physically it was a struggle too. It sounds very similar to me actually. I went into spontaneous labor but once the contraction started it was horrific. It turns out the baby was back to back and the water birth I had dreamt of quickly went out of the window. I went rapidly from three centimeters to eight centimeters i went through all the levels of pain relief and ended up with an epidural however this took over an hour to be done with me screaming make it stop the whole time to my poor helpless husband luckily the epidural worked very well once it was finally in yeah i ended up doing that but after two hours of pushing they discovered the baby's neck was not in the ideal position and she was now on her side making it pretty much impossible for me to get her out this is literally what happened then so his head went his head went into a different space baby was born and she was all okay even with a few lines on her face however I was not I didn't realize but I was rapidly losing blood I suddenly felt sick shortly after the baby was born she was quickly taken off me with my husband and her put into the corner of the room he has seen sights he should never have seen and then I became aware that something was wrong I was literally dying lying there thinking I was dying that's so scary I wanted to ask the midwife if I was but I just couldn't speak the words my husband also told me that suddenly lots of people came to the room and I wasn't aware of it.

37:25Anna Williamson:Essentially, I lost two liters of blood and I spent nearly a week in hospital needing two blood transfusions. I was so weak, I never even changed my baby's nappy in hospital. I also had a horrendous feeding experience with the baby screaming each time I tried to latch her. I also went through a period of thinking I'd actually died and my mind was just playing tricks on me. Oh, darling. Yeah, that's an intrusive thought. It's trauma making me think I was alive even though I wasn't. I feel like so much has been stolen from me. I didn't get the birth I wanted, only five minutes of skin to skin, a baby who wouldn't latch and was too weak to even care for my baby.

37:57Anna Williamson:I just wanted to shut my eyes and go back to my old life. Well done, this is such a hard relate with my Enzo birth. I have been left with a prolapse, which is affecting my whole life. I can't hold my baby for too long. I can't go for long dog walks, walks with my dog, and I can't go back to netball or essentially do any proper exercise. My parents are paying for a private, private just for consultation to see what can be done about it. But I'll have to go back to the NHS for any treatment I'm only 30 and I simply can't live like this this is part of what we're trying to fight for reform actually as in reforming the maternity provision I'm sorry that this was long that's okay babe but the idea of having another baby is terrifying and my husband is pretty anti it as he is so scared what if I'm not so lucky the next time how can I put myself at risk of my husband and current child losing me and I know you had a horrific time and how did you get to a point that you could do it again is it just having my baby is having my baby girl enough thank you listening to your pod has given me much needed relief that i've needed and i'm generally in a better headspace but i'm just waiting for a referral to a psychologist any advice would be so welcome oh darling this is isn't it awful i this is such a hard relate darling pretty much everything that you've experienced kind of a big you know tick unfortunately but what i would say is that time does heal but also having the right support and i think in this is actually what we were talking about when I did this part so I'm doing it with Louise Thompson who you'll know had um an awful birth and Theo Clark MP and some of you will remember that Theo Clark was the MP that started crying in parliament about her horrendous birth and we are all campaigning in fact it's a big parliamentary debate happening next week which I'm attending as well we've basically got a big petition that's been signed with over 150 ,000 signatures to force them now to have to do something um and essentially it's this it's not just leave just because birth is so common I think it gets trivialized and it's like you know there you go birth move on birth move on now I would like to say a lot of people do have good births but a lot of people don't and what you have experienced is obviously birth trauma I would recommend you first of all go to birth trauma association in which I'm an ambassador and that's a really helpful support group you can find them online on instagram birth trauma association or panda foundation which is also another really helpful support group for you and when it can and I think also um so every single uh borough does have a perinatal maternity um psych psych system basically so if you go to your gp and ask for them to refer you you can do that and you can refer as well so perinatal maternity um psychological support is what I had and that can also then help get you in the system with psychologists and possibly some trauma therapy as well and moving on to having another baby quite honestly darling it was time and it was doing things very differently and as Lou will know her baby is really young it's like 16 weeks old I wouldn't even be thinking about having another baby at the minute like honestly your baby's four months old right I couldn't even have sex for until like six to eight months and actually I my clitoris like this sounds a bit like too much information but my vag and my clitoris was so damaged from the forceps that's another thing we're campaigning to do we believe that i believe that forceps should be banned it's just they are in pretty much every other country it's it's it's so victorian they were so damaging they damaged the baby they damaged enzo they damaged me and it took me 18 months to be able to have an orgasm again and actually feel my private parts and to feel like a woman that's kind of was my experience um and essentially it took until i um enzo was about two two and a half and i'd also said the same thing there's no fucking way I'm having another baby I'm just about coping you know back together again mentally and physically but actually he want it was him he asked he started wanting a little sister or little brother and then I'd said to Alex if we even go down this route I need to do this completely differently so I actually had a perinatal psychiatry appointment which you can do as part of this system that I said this NHS system to actually look at conception and I wanted to do pregnancy and birth three differently and I knew I was going to have a planned section before I even got pregnant and as you all know I did have a planned c-section it is your human right to have a planned c-section if you want one those are the nice guidelines you might get some kickback uh but I don't think you will especially if you've gone through birth trauma and for me I don't think you do now well have kickback yeah because I you know nanny lauren who used to work for me and she was just I mean she couldn't even have a blood test without fainting and I said to her there's no way you're gonna be able to give birth and I said to just ask well you said it as well didn't you she was here and we were like just tell them yeah that's what you want and you want a planned section and you know what it's more expensive for the NHS to do a section I get that but only it's only more expensive when things go perfectly with birth and often it doesn't go perfectly with birth so often not like on I've had three natural births I am very pro like natural birth I love giving birth you know I absolutely would give birth 10 times over I found it the most empowering amazing experience and however I am also like super pro sections and I think if I had another baby which I'm never doing by the way I would actually have a section next time because despite my love of giving birth and you know I have very easy easy births they basically fall out I was so physically damaged afterwards like with having to then well just I had to go and be basically all the bladder stuff with all my bladder I had a uterine prolapse a bladder prolapse I literally would just piss myself all the time and not just a few drips like it was life altering the amount you know and I used to laugh it off and stuff but it did really affect me and then you know I ended up having that massive op in LA because they banned the op that I wanted in England which then I then got like the worst side effect and you know it's just dreadful like everything stems back to that natural birth and i know that our bodies are designed to give birth and blah blah blah we should be able to do it well our bodies are also designed to breastfeed and you know fucking half the people can't do that either sometimes we just can't fucking do it and i honestly think that actually from speaking to mums and i have no medical you know experience but i know doctors and midwives that that will go for planned c sections and i think that says a huge that that speaks volumes right yeah and and you know when midwives are opting for planned c-sections that's a big big red flag to me for giving birth naturally and i just feel like you should have that option and the worst thing then is when you go for a natural birth and it ends up in an emergency c-section because that's like so traumatic all involved and I just feel like just take the fucking planned section go and have a blow dry get your nails done get it out the sunroof and be fucking happy about it like honestly and I loved giving birth like I would say my first birth was almost like euphorically orgasmic it was so good you know like it's not that I've had traumatic birth experiences I just feel like it's kind of a safer thing to do and obviously it comes with its risks having a c-section of course and I don't know the statistics of whether and how statistically a natural outweighs a c-section I'd be interested to see to see that but I'm pretty sure it's safe for having a section I mean that's totally just my gut feeling and we will verify that very shortly I mean I can now see mo typing on google yeah I mean but I can I can I can give you an anecdotal you know from my personal experience of both you know I had the vaginal birth with forceps damaged like awful and I say I've had the same you know I've I have um incontinence as well also just to say to this lovely lady to go to like something like mummy MOT that is a private service but a woman's physio is really really important I had that um and again this is all part of what you know I think it should be given to all women France do it you get um the minute you've had a baby you get given all of this physio support to kind of put yourself back together but for me with um getting my head space into having another baby being perfectly honest with you it had for me it had to be beautifully underwhelming as awful as that sounds or weird as that sounds I needed everything just to be really medicalized really controlled and for me having the plan section gave me that privilege and I went privately to have my plan section now to be fair the NHS absolutely were on board they said I could do it I had a great NHS consultant the challenge that I had is that L was due on Christmas Day and that is one of the two days in the year that they do not perform elective cesareans on the NHS they probably don't in private either and as a result of that my anxiety was raging even more because they were saying well we don't know when we will give you that plan section because it might be before it might be after and for me I was getting more and more stressed about that and I wanted to have that level of control and what the private option gave me was the option to I think I was 16 weeks pregnant and I think and I knew that I was having L on the 20 assuming everything went well with the pregnancy which it did thank god on the 21st of December at 9 30 a.m I was going to be having my baby privately um and guess what that's exactly what I got and it meant I could relax for the rest of the pregnancy the care was amazing I mean Lou you gave birth as well at the Portland what I would say is that there are different levels of care.

47:31Anna Williamson:I think people assume if you have a private birth, it's all like, you know, it's like the TV show that we saw that five star babies. Now it can be, of course, you know, when you're paying for anything in life, you know, you can pay for as much or as little as you want. But for me, I would say, I think it costs like 12 grand or something to have the baby privately, which is a lot of money, I know. But for me, it was definitely worth foregoing a couple of holidays in a new car in order to bring life into this world. And for me not to have a massive mental breakdown, and I'd pay it hand over fist again and save up for that if we needed to.

48:02Anna Williamson:I know we're in a very privileged position to have done that, but it was three nights in the hospital. The continuity of care was brilliant. There was everything you could ever want. And it was a really brilliant, cathartic experience. And it actually healed me mentally from my traumatic first birth. So it's not for everybody, but for me, that's the route I took and it really worked for me. But best of luck. I would say birth trauma association, pandas, mummy MOT, and don't sit quietly like don't we shouldn't be normalizing how we feel after birth if we've had a shit time you had a really shit time babe so just rest up also while I'm on it I'd love people to sign our petition um which we've got in government because you can still do it's about appointing a maternity commissioner to improving maternity care for mums and babies um I'm going to put a link in my stories and I'll ask Becca if she can as well but essentially if you just go and look for that and if you could sign it we would be really grateful thank you and on my research about safety and stuff um basically it's all context related um c-sections can be way safer um in certain complicated pregnancies and then natural birth can be safer in very simple pregnancies but obviously you don't know what's going to happen ever so many variables aren't there yeah exactly i loved my section honestly i quite honestly i thought it was easy yeah good luck darling my friends that have had planned sections have absolutely loved them no i don't feel like anyone's ever regretted a planned section put it that way i i have i mean all i i it is it smarts a bit but christ it doesn't hurt half as much as some things in life it's fine yeah uh right we've got another message now from anonymous so ruby randerson uh it says good afternoon luanna i'd like to remain a non give me your best porn star name thank you for the oh crumble sorry did you shit yourself no it's crumble it's growling she says thank you for the pod i listened to it while doing my cleaning job job and it's made me laugh out loud some of my clients must think crumbles stop it i think he needs a toilet some of my friends must think i'm a nutter i was in don't we on the studio come here crumble you better not was on my chair dude he's gonna pee on your chair um says i was introduced to your pod by my sister-in-law and we attended two of your fabulous shows and we got proper pissed had a great night and day we met some lovely friends there that we've stayed friends with since oh that's so cute lovely so let's get to the story that i have to share with you after being in a relationship for 17 years three lovely kids my relationship came to an end because of gambling issues on his side and controlling behavior in the run-up to our breakup we stopped having sex we didn't have sex for three years in fact what put me off was after our last child he secretly filmed us while I had a big saggy belly for one and engorged blue boobs so definitely was a violation of my privacy after this event I shut off and we didn't have sex for three years that's so like so bad um and I knew it was the end of what I tried so hard for so we ended it he met some other woman that he can disrespect and control and I spent a year and a half being solo enjoying my kids having therapy and getting myself back to the person I was before I met him I had to do a lot of self-discovery therapy and even trying to make new friends which has been a struggle because he completely cut me off from everybody I lost a lot of weight and a lot of people said that I lost 10 years because I look great.

51:41Oh, good. I thought I better put myself out there a bit and show off this upgrade of myself. I started chatting to guys on Bumble, which really boosted my confidence. And in this past relationship, I wasn't allowed social media. But my cousin egged me on and got me to upload Instagram and get in touch with an old flame from before. So under my cousin's influence, I went ahead, downloaded Instagram, searched up this guy from the past and immediately we hit it off it was such a lovely relief to connect with someone so familiar and we did start dating it's actually been lovely he spoils me we've been to paris and i've finally been treated like a princess but down to the nitty-gritty i still hadn't had sex in a total of four and a half years i was basically at this point a born again virgin So when that time came, I became like a rabid dog.

52:33I couldn't stop masturbating. I couldn't stop thinking about sex. I love this for you. This guy started to get sick of me because I'm expecting guys to behave like they were in their 20s. And this guy's late 30s. His stamina wasn't keeping up with me. I felt like a teenage pubescent boy. I could not stop thinking about sex all day and all night. so the first incident was me and this new guy we had a lot of dry white wine this night and my mouth was like sandpaper and me pissed thinking I was a deep throat queen gave him a blowjob for

53:09Anna Williamson:so long I gave myself a locked jaw it just snotted we've all done it we've all done it the next day I had to go to the GP I couldn't open my mouth I couldn't eat and I couldn't drink I couldn't move my face. I inflamed the cartilage of my jaw by trying to suck the poor life out of this guy. I was prescribed anti-inflammatories and had to rest and it got better only within a couple of weeks. But this is not the worst story. You think I would have learnt my lesson? Me and my blowjob antics became a stomach turning issue. So as I'm quite deep into this relationship, my old flame has decided to start staying over some evenings.

53:53I've introduced him to the kids and he's been lovely but last summer I went ahead again with the jaw action because I just love sucking this guy's willy as I was going at it risking another pain in the jaw one of his kids knocked on the door as he was cumming in my mouth so I've grabbed a bottle of water and spat the cum into the water a nice tidy spit, placed the lid black on Wiped my mouth, thinking I'm in the clear. Tended to the little one. Oh, no. Stop this. We all went to bed that night. And a bottle of water remained on the bedside. It's going to make me go. I need to make it clear that this was last August and it was a heatwave.

54:35This was not an ordinary night. This is like the furnace of hell on a summer evening. As I've gone to bed, made sure the window was open, the fan was on. We're laying on top of the bedsheets. Absolutely no duvet because it's sweltering. We're both in our undies. It's one of those ones where you wake up with cotton mouth in the middle of the night. One of those nasty heat waves that we had in the summer. I've woke up in the middle of the night, reached for the bottle of water, which I've drank, the pale ale, very warm, hot, curdle, Costco, cum water. I don't think I've ever tasted anything like it in my life.

55:11And because I was so thirsty, it was gone. There was no spitting it out this time. I was either. got to make myself sick or just swallow. And I just swallowed it, but I had a stomach-turned feeling for the rest of that day. She says, I can't describe the taste of warm, almost hot cum water. I'm investing in air conditioning this year. And two years in with my new partner, my sex drive has finally calmed right down. I hope you share my story. Still quite traumatising to this day. And I wonder if any other women on here have this midlife power sex drive happening. Sorry about my grammar. I'm using voice predicting message on my WhatsApp.

55:55Love you all lots. From London.

56:03Anna Williamson:Tapping out. I love that Randy story. I do not love the cum water. I also have just wretched so hard, I've just wet myself.

56:15Anna Williamson:I mean it's a corking story though I'd like to say we've all been there Bobby Dazzler Yeah thank God we haven't Remember if you want to get in touch Do email us It's Luanna at everythingluanna.com Or drop us a WhatsApp Oh here we go

Right, let's move on to some news stories now. Wireless Festival has cancelled over the Kanye West controversy.

57:24So basically, what's gone on is the government haven't allowed Kanye West into the country, essentially. Can you believe it? Can you believe it? Kanye believe it. Kanye believe it. He was headlining wireless, I think it's like three days. Yeah, every night for three days, yeah. Every night. And he's not been allowed into the country. I think it's got down to the wire of wireless. And therefore they've pulled, they've just pulled the whole thing. I think they had a lot of sponsors pull out because of it as well. They did. And basically in October 2022, now Kanye has had his mental health issues, hasn't he?

58:04which he has unfortunately has very public breakdowns about this like all over like Twitter

58:10Anna Williamson:or whatever x yeah still was it bipolar did he he I think it was bipolar don't quote me on that or maybe do quote me on that yeah uh yeah bipolar so we do respect that that has happened to him but yeah sorry go on Lou but how much I don't know I haven't got bipolar right maybe I have But, like, just because you've got bipolar doesn't mean it makes an excuse for saying shitty things. Do you know what I mean? Let's talk about what he... So, the huge thing about him, anti-Semitism. You can't say, like, racist and anti-Semitic and, like, what? And then be like, oh, sorry, I've got bipolar. Like, I don't know how that works.

58:48Does bipolar make you believe, like, these things? So, he basically posted in 2022, death con three on Jewish people. Oh, I don't understand that. He was going to go Defcon 3. He was very anti-Semitic. What is Defcon 3?

59:04Anna Williamson:Like, destroy. You know, going to go destroying on Jewish people. I think he got a few bank accounts shut and claimed Jewish people are responsible for shutting his bank accounts and taking his children away from him. Anyway, basically, he sold T-shirts featuring a swastika on his website. The item was labelled HH-01. which was wildly interpreted as a reference to the big phrase Hitler. Yeah, exactly. Which, you know, the sensation, like basically promoting like Nazism, like being anti-Semitic. And then he in May 2025. I think he even said, I am a Nazi. Did he? I think he did. Back then he even said, I am a Nazi.

59:50He was praising Hitler, wasn't he? He released a song titled HH.

59:55Anna Williamson:um saying that he believed hitler had done some good things i think it was something around that as well ironically hitler would have killed him for being black so i don't know why it's so supportive of hitler because he would have been fucking dead yeah i mean it's just the ridiculousness of the whole thing yeah but he kind of blamed his um he said that it was he he's now issued an apology which was in january of this year he said i'm not a nazi or an anti-semi and i love jewish people so it's gone like complete like done a turnaround he said that what he said in his actions were due to his bipolar disorder which stemmed from a medical oversight after a frontal lobe injury which he sustained in 2020 2002 uh when he had a car crash and this frontal lobe injury had gone undiagnosed and this condition he said caused him to lose touch with reality which led him on to latching onto the most destructive symbol he could find, which was the swastika.

1:00:56And then in early 2025, he had a four-month manic episode involving psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behavior that he said destroyed his life. So, do you know what? I just don't like people using mental health as an excuse for shitty behavior. And I often find that in life now, like people use especially famous people use mental health as a scapegoat for just being a shitty person and making shitty mistakes and instead of just being like do you know what i'm i'm sorry if you want to forgive me i'd like the forgiveness but i totally understand if you don't forgive me they chuck in the old mental health card and it's just like seen as a get out clause and that fucks me off and that's why sometimes my tolerance is very low around mental health because I really believe that it's you know I have people with really severe mental health problems very close to me and my family and it's really it's really soul destroying and it's really destructive and so I can totally like relate to what he's saying with the manic episode and and latching on to things I can absolutely relate to that and we don't know that that's not true

1:02:14Anna Williamson:I'm not saying that's untrue. Yeah, that could well be true. But I think to your point, when it's matched on as an excuse, it feels like, doesn't it? Yeah. And it's just like, I don't know where that sits with me. Anyway, basically, old Keir Starmer hasn't forgiven him. He's been banned from the UK for his anti-Semitic views. They've denied him his visa. And therefore, that has led to Wireless 2026 being cancelled. And so what do we feel about this? is it the right decision to not let him in the country yeah I do and I but I think I think what's really interesting actually is that I think it's nuts in the first place that he was booked to do this festival so soon after making you know all of these comments there's a lot it's very very offensive to to to certain communities obviously Jewish community in particular um and I think for wireless actually to have booked him particularly and I'm going to take it in good faith that he did have a mental breakdown and what he has said did happen to him I would then argue not even argue and this is not me fooling any support behind Kanye but I am I think that to book somebody that let's take it a good faith did have a big mental breakdown that has caused absolute global outrage and offense so to then book him when any of that sort of reparation on apology and for there to be possibly potentially there might at some point be some sort of balance and it it does get better maybe when that time came because i know that they they're saying that he had reached out to the jewish community but they didn't respond the jewish community have said well no one reached out to us and we would exactly but i think to book somebody to head wireless festival under these circumstances is actually negligent on behalf of the booker and I feel like they were opportunist in taking it sold out it bloody sold out knowing that because it is such a hot contention of a booking it was almost like whatever his mental issues whatever we don't really care we're more we're more concerned about getting bums on seats and we will take that risk and I think when big corporations do latch on to those opportune opportunities then it is something that they should be held accountable for we've also seen it recently with astronomer you know the woman's is slightly different but you know the the cold play couple that were caught on the jumbotron yeah recently astronomer the company that they were ceos of has in i don't know if you've seen this has taken on gwyneth paltrow to do a real tongue-in-cheek advert for astronomer now obviously gwyneth paltrow is the ex of chris martin Coldplay so there's a link there and that Kristen Cabot has been on Oprah recently that's the woman who was involved the lady who was you know the kisser yeah she is really pissed at Gwyneth Paltrow for doing that and saying that just feels like not in the sisterhood and well she just I think she feels it's again taking an opportunity Well did she feel it was in the sisterhood when she was necking on with someone's husband?

1:05:22Fuck me I know that I'm a hypocrite but Jesus Christ

1:05:27Anna Williamson:she's she's got the cheek to talk about sisterhood but well she didn't say sisterhood but and i don't know the full no but but she's given the full interview on oprah and actually they'd already been split up there was already there was a lot more to that story than ever fully came out so but my point being but but that's a whole new story but my point being with with that that is a company astronomer have gone brilliant let's take an opportunity here and screw anybody else that's affected with it will do it for for monetary gain or whatever so I think going back to wireless I think they've done the same thing with Kanye it's a figure of real contention right now not thinking about um communities who've been offended by him and just going with it and I think it's a good thing that the that that Kanye has been taken off off uh off the roster personally I think it's good that we've that we've cancelled his visa and denied him also because do you know what if he wasn't Kanye West and if he was like um effectively he's he's not a UK citizen or resident or like doesn't have like any right to be here other than the fact that we would welcome him in if it was anyone else that didn't have money do you know what we'd be saying get that that get that head case out here we don't want someone like that that isn't British walking our streets that's got these views I think it's the right thing to do I'm the first person to say stop letting these people walk amongst us and attack our people.

1:06:50Like, you know, it's wrong. And so therefore, I think it's absolutely right he should be denied. And you see Australia doing this. You see America doing this. Well, they banned Kanye, didn't they? Yeah, and if you've got a criminal record, like if you or I had a criminal record, we couldn't go to America. It's absolutely right. You know, and I actually think it's fucking good that the UK grabbing the bull by the horns and doing something for once and actually pushing back and being like, no, we are not accepting this mental health card. Like, we don't agree with what you've said. Those views are not welcome in our country.

1:07:21We don't give a shit who you are or how much money you're bringing in or this festival. You can go fuck yourself. So, actually, I think, do you know what? Keir Starmer's going up in my estimations recently.

1:07:33Anna Williamson:Good lord. No, actually, there's a few things. I know, there's a few things. He actually is going up. You know, credit where credit's due, right? Always. Keir Starmer has put his foot down with this. the whole Iran, America, Israel war in the Middle East. He refused to send our troops. He did help in other ways. But I kind of think like, do you know what? He isn't bowing to this pressure. And actually that does say, you know, we keep going on about, oh, Kian Starmer's weak and all this. Actually, he's showing us recently that, yes, he is. Yes, Crumble is agreeing. But he actually, do you know what?

1:08:06Is quietly composed and maybe does have a pair of balls. he's playing his cards quite correctly recently sorry about that crumbles clearly a

1:08:17Anna Williamson:Keir Starmer fan um but what do you think Lufanian so yeah what we know Kanye West um or yay as he's called uh wireless did you have tickets for wireless are you pissed that you've had them refunded do you think it's the right thing to do why did you buy tickets I guess you know I think that's really interesting as well I mean Imz do you have any parting comments on this i know that a lot of people think are against him being banned and stuff because of the whole free speech thing and i think that's an interesting argument because i'm like yes i think that free speech should be a thing but when it's hate speech but when it turns into inciting hate then that is another thing entirely and i think it was the right thing to do i think under the circumstances yes I think it's a shame that wireless has had to be completely cancelled but I also think it's on them because I think it was the wrong choice of headliner just as a question why would they not have just got a different headliner is it too soon I think it would have been too soon it's in July oh too soon I think he would have been booked for a long time it takes a long time to book these sorts of acts especially one big enough to headline three nights sure I think it would have just been a and also and also a clerical nightmare refunding all of those tickets and then putting them all back on sale again yeah and i'm not sure how much money they would have had after all these sponsors pulling out i don't know how much they they probably would have committed a giant whack to kanye i don't know what happens with that money um yeah well there you go so let us know well yeah mind you it's his own fault that his visa's cancelled well exactly um second new story a nice little bit of good news artemis 2 um lady on the moon, first black person on the moon.

1:09:59Anna Williamson:This is a triumph all round. So this was the first moon landing since 1970. They didn't land on the moon bay. They just flew round it. Moonfly, wasn't it? I'm sorry. I don't think this is that good. What's the fucking point in this? Do you like it? They've just flown into outer space, flown round the fucking moon. What for? What is the point in that? They just went to the other side of the moon that the people hadn't been to before. I think that's quite impressive. It looks the same as the other side. I saw a picture. It looks like the fucking moon that's in the children's book. I don't really care for this.

1:10:38Anna Williamson:I can't even get to Surrey properly. I'm quite impressed they've got to the moon and back, babes. I think this is really good. But fair, but fair. Well, they did. The journey lasted 10 days. They're still on it. Are they still on it? They're currently on their way back. They're on their way back. Yes. They literally just flew off, did a figure of eight around the fucking moon and are flying home again. And how much did it cost? It's ridiculous. I just don't see the appeal to this at all. It doesn't excite me. I just think it's stupid. You're not into space, into spaceships and stuff. Well, what is interesting.

1:11:14Anna Williamson:So this is the first crewed flight of this spacecraft. And the Artemis is the sister to Apollo, isn't it? Or it's like the twin. it's the first time that humans have travelled beyond the Earth's orbit since 1972. I think that's pretty impressive. Do you believe that they did it in 1972? Do you not? I don't know. Oh, that's a little conspiracy theory I wasn't aware of. 1972, right. She's got a long time. It's a long fucking time ago. It's a long time ago. Why has nobody done it since then? Well, I did think that, if I'm honest with you. but no what is good about this Lou this is good so there have been some new milestones that have been set so it's the first woman that's gone into space Christina Koch well not into space but on this mission um the first person of color like I say Victor Glover who's the pilot uh the first non-American to travel this far into space um and yeah and I also think what is so lovely is that um there's quite a nice viral video of um one of the craters that they have discovered i don't think something tells me lou you're not going to be impressed about a crater being discovered but we'll go with it not really i mean i'm sorry who gives a shit about a fucking crater on a moon like it's ridiculous and they're saying that nasa is using this to prepare for future missions that aim very poignant word there that aim to land astronauts on the moon again which is currently planned for 2028.

1:12:44I just don't believe that they landed on the moon in 1972. I just don't. I'm sorry because now they're aiming to land people on the moon in 2028. It's been a long-ass time, to be fair, babes. It's just a little bit suspect, okay?

1:13:03Anna Williamson:I just, you know. Lou's not believing this one. I'm here for the conspiracy theory. But what I do love, nice little good news story. you know me uh one of the craters and there's a little emotional vid going around uh it was dedicated to the wife uh of artemis 2 commander reed wilson i mean reed wiseman uh carol wiseman um she passed away of cancer um and in a little emotional little speech he said i'd like to dedicate that crater to to my wife so i mean i guess there's something nice about being named after a star i'm not sure how i feel about being named after a crater well she's dead so i suppose naming a crater after a dead person is quite fitting i mean so compassionate i spoke to ney about this and i was like i don't know how i'd feel about like my other half seeing a gigantic hole on the moon and being like oh that reminds me of my wife but then it's like but then she was like oh but he can see it that him and his children can see the crater in the moon from earth and he's left a giant crater in his heart and he's going to moon them back for her and i was like oh that's very cute actually yeah well it's lovely for him and good for him and i think that's very sweet but i think we've discussed that lou lou's just not here for the space shit space shit we'll move on it's just it's just yeah she's not here for it not into it i'm not fair i i understand that many people are into it and I respect that bullshit.

1:14:33People love space. They love this. Why?

1:14:36Anna Williamson:I don't know. I'm not that crazy about it if I'm honest with you but I'm cool with it. You know it's cool. You nasty. Fuck it. Need to sort the problems out on earth before we start venturing into it and fucking up other places. Enough shit to deal with here. Yeah fuck space let's work on earth first. I mean hello look at the shit show that's going on in the world. We have such like Like vast, like, you know, you think of like the third world countries to the first world countries. If we just spent our time and money, like, you know, focusing on Earth and making Earth a better place before we start, they're just going to go fucking fly to the moon and fuck it up, I'm telling you.

1:15:14That's all humans do. That's all they do.

1:15:17Anna Williamson:They do. They meddle and they piss it about. They're just going to go to the moon, fucking create some bullshit up there. What has the moon done to you? Exactly. Okay. Leave the moon alone. Focus your time, energy and resources on solving world peace. That has to be the name of this podcast episode, Leave the Moon Alone. Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word. My champions, I have sold my chariot on Carvana. Twas a lovely SUV, an inexplicably queenly offer. They're even coming to the castle to collect it. Tonight, we feast. An offer you can feast on. Sell your car today on Carvana.

1:16:12Anna Williamson:Pick up fees, man. Bye. It's the Widow of the Week. All right, first, Anonymous Sophie. Sophie. Hi, Luanna Moe and Becks. Love the pod from down under. I just want to put myself in for weird of the week. I genuinely need to know if I've lost the plot or if this is just what having a new puppy does to you. Oh, well, Lou can relate to this. She says, I'm fully in the trenches. My one-year-old puppy has started doing this new annoying habit. When I let him outside, he does a wee, then stands at the door when he wants to come back in. But the second I open the door, he doesn't want to come in. This happens every single time.

1:16:44Anna Williamson:Oh, you've been played by your dog, babe. I've tried treats to get him back in. He probably wants her to go out and play with him outside. Oh, well, she said, I've tried treats to get him back in, which worked for a bit, but now he's clearly onto me and just ignores them. It's honestly started to drive me nuts. So the other day, after desperation, I did something a bit rogue. I, oh, boy. Why does it always come down to the lowest common denominator? I scratched my arsehole and I got that busy day smell on my fingers. We all know it beeps. And I waved it near his nose to lure him back inside. And girls, it worked instantly.

1:17:25Anna Williamson:Now, it's the only thing that works. I never let him lick anything. It's literally just a quick waft to get him through the door. And then I wash my hands straight away. Thou doth protest too much, my dear. But I cannot believe this is what my life has come to. I don't do this in front of anyone, just when I'm on my own. I love the pod, a very unhinged new dog mum. So she has to do a scratch and sniff of her butthole to get the dog to come back in. I mean, that's surely got to be this month's top runner at the moment. That is, yeah. Have you scratched your ass to bring Crumble in yet? No. No, Crumble's pretty good.

1:18:01Anna Williamson:Imo, do you scratch your ass for Norm? I've not tried it, but I might do in the future. I might try it with Poppy in my parents' lab. She's absolutely feral. I bet she'd love it. Yeah, she's naughty, that lab, isn't she? She is really naughty, yeah. I'll try it. Do you know what? The irony, my dad's taken her training every week for the last two years. It's not effective. Needs to get a new trainer. Yeah. Right, we've got a non. So Henrietta says, hi, lovely ladies. Love the pod. Keep up the great work. You all have such fantastic personalities and infectious laughs. And I love it. Thank you. Right, let's get to it.

1:18:37Am I the weirdo? When I'm on my period, I will actively try and have sex with my partner because I think that it helps to end my period faster. Like it's been sucked out. I might go from a five-day period to a three-day period. I've always joked about inventing a Henry Hoover attachment that sucks out your period in a matter of minutes. But for now, my boyfriend's willies is going to have to do. Am I weird? Love, Henrietta, the female Henry Hoover. I can relate to this. Really? I can't.

1:19:10Anna Williamson:Actually, I just memory unlocked years ago. I don't bother having sex half the time anyway, let alone all my period. But when I was a little bit, you know, slutty college years and didn't mind as much. Yes, actually, I used to think that having sex did feel like my period stopped a bit quicker. Interesting. I don't know if it did or not, but I'm kind of sort of with Henrietta on this. Okay. Do you think that's weird or do we think, I mean, it's got to be scratch and sniff, surely? Scratch and sniff's a weirder, for sure. Yeah. Congratulations. You very unhinged new dog, mum. And your scratchy ass has won.

1:19:51Congratulations, your butthole's sticking. And you are the winner of Widow of the Week. Right, listen, normally I'd rant now, but I got it all off my chest at the top. So I'm not ranting. I want to wish you all a wonderful week. Let's hope the sun stays shining.
