It's an exciting, emotional, all sorts of feelings day. It's an emotional day because this is our very last episode of Nearly Parents. And we're going to be putting the show on ice. We've done this before. You're going to go away on maternity leave. I'm going on paternity leave. And this might be the last time anyone ever sees us. We might just disappear forever. We also, we've got a little cake here that the team very kindly have made for me.

3:16And the only way to describe it is an open vagina with a small baby's head rubbed in jelly or jam poking out of it. And some chocolate sprinkles which look like either hair or poo. Yeah, so we made a cake for Sophie. And it's sitting right next to us. It's your vagina. We made you a vagina cake. It's not my vagina, I'd like to admit and add. It is. That's your vagina with a baby coming out of it. And you said to Yui, what did you say to Yui? Would he eat my vagina? And what did you say, Yui? Yes, play. So listen, this is going to be an episode full of love and laughter and reminiscing and so many amazing things And it is the last episode of the last four years of doing a show together We did nearly weds to newlyweds to nearly parents We have no idea what's going to be next But before we even begin the episode, I think the biggest, biggest thank yous and love goes to all of you guys who have watched and listened and written to us and told us your stories and just engage with it every single week for the last four years.

4:20Yeah, you guys are honestly like the best and like the shows that we've done and meeting you all in person. And we just love you so much. I'm so grateful. I still can't believe that anyone listens to it. I still think there's about five of you listening. Yeah, I know. And I think I'm always going to think there's only five of you listening, but it is just wild and we love you. And we're so, so, so, so, so grateful. and we it's always the same thing we get a lot of the the applause and a lot of the messages but actually to the team who are behind the camera to all of you guys just you know to Anthony to Jake to Magda to Ewan to Rafi to everyone who's upstairs to Lizzie these are the people that actually make the show come together we get to sit here and entertain but without you guys we wouldn't be rocking and rolling like we are yeah you guys are the absolute best and we love you so much thank you we're true guys thanks for putting up for Jamie every day because that's a nightmare and thanks for putting up for me on the odd day that I have an off day and scream off camera saying why the fuck do I have to do this just every now and again yeah well let's actually start there because we're reminiscing Magda who's easier to work with me or Sophie Sophie 100 % get out of here and Sophie we need you to come back soon because he's going to be absolutely insufferable while you're away we need you here to keep him in check I know he is insufferable but I will give it to the listeners there was one day there was one day where the hormones I don't know what happened to me and I just out of nowhere got up and I went I can't fucking be asked to do this and stormed out and I think everyone thought I think you all thought it was a prank I didn't think it was a prank I was like I did not think that was a prank either Jamie is Jamie's a lot and you guys to put up with him oh let's just round of applause round of applause everyone the midnight phone calls the Saturday can you work on Sunday guys do you mind just coming in should we shoot a podcast on Sunday I think that's going to work for everybody isn't it Yui back to you who is the easiest person to work with Sophie on her worst day is easier than to work with are you fucking kidding me are you guys being serious I genuinely yeah you're really easy to work with no way turn up and do it Jamie it's a lot of faff are you joking he wants to talk about it a lot yes surrounding circles oh just tell me what you want and I'll do it put me out of my misery are you serious Sophie there was that one day and you did also at the same time as saying you hate the fucking podcast I did think I saw you kick the floor at the same time so this is about to get violent but apart from that you're a joy to it I'm going to miss you so much I know I'm going to really miss you guys I love that you're also going on Pat leave too but everyone's just like we'll miss Sophie I don't think people actually generally reason I'm going on no I don't either I think whilst I'm giving birth you will be doing a podcast I'm so sure if I had my way I would you know what I was thinking the other night I think I might give birth the night that you're on the live show and I thought when you do your live book tour I just thought to myself just let him have it I just wouldn't call him you serious I wouldn't force you to make that decision because I know how that means to you no at the birth of my child I know but Labor's long, right?

7:39So I'd knock down the first couple of hours until you're done, and then I'd give you a call and say, just so you know, I'm like five centimetres dilated. Honey, are you kidding me? I would be there in a second. Oh, no, you would. By the way, can I just say this to anyone? I don't know if anyone does this. You know, if you're in a relationship and you have arguments, right? Sophie and I can occasionally have an argument, like other relationships. We saw a couple on the street the other day having an argument, so we followed them. Guys. We followed them to see what the outcome of the argument would be because we were fascinated.

8:09But when I tell you this argument, it was 101, Jamie and me having an argument on the side of the street. This woman's walking. She's so fucked off. And this man, it's like doing loops behind her because he's obviously wanting to be like, fine, I'm not going to fucking walk. But he's just slowly following her. And he was like slowly following her, trying to ring her. She didn't pick up her phone. He was like standing behind us. It was like the most amazing thing. He looked like a scorned little boy. It was the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. It was so you and me. But textbook. and then when we finally caught up with him and he had like caught up with her and we heard him being like I just didn't realise it honestly I honestly didn't know and she was like just why would you do it and I was like honestly you take the words out my mouth and he said I honestly didn't realise he said this I honestly didn't realise it's what I say every single time because I don't realise but don't roll your eyes because I don't realise and then you said to me that men are just not good enough in arguments that's why they lose every single time explain this to me Why do men always lose arguments?

9:06Because in my relationship with you, the arguing is always cause because you have done something wrong. Absolutely not. So if you just held your hand up and were like, yeah, I did. But you always have to try and defend yourself or give me a reason why that happened or give me some bullshit lie or excuse. Like if you just went, I'm so sorry, I've done something wrong. I don't do anything wrong. Oh my God. No, what do I do wrong? Make the nursery Very very pregnant All by myself Blow up the bouncy ball All by myself Make the bouncy thing that the baby sits in All by myself What do I do wrong? Lots of stuff What?

9:45I sort out the mortgage all by myself I pay the bills I could do that game No you don't Our money's split now Anyway And if you want to go into that That's a really crass, naff thing to talk about. We're talking... Don't talk about money in public. You should love better. And this is the argument. This is how the argument starts, right? Because she's talked about one thing, which is like I've got... And then I say another thing, and you'll go, no, that's crass. And I'm like, but wait, hang on. Because it is. Because we both pay for things. So don't even try coming at me with that. We do both pay for things.

10:19Apart from when I ask you to pay for something, you go, no, can you just pay for this? And then you say that our money is joint. I like our money to be joint, but I also like my money to be mine. So is everything that we have now split in half? No, it's in the process. What does that mean? Your money's mine and my money's mine. Okay, anyway. Oh my God. So you think, so the reason why men lose arguments is because they're not smart enough in the argument. No, I just generally think men always fuck up. I honestly do. In my experience, women very rarely make a real error. And if I do make an error, I am like, shit.

10:59But you still argue it. Sometimes. Why are men bad in arguments? Magda, why are men bad in arguments? I just don't think men, actually, let me caveat this. I don't think straight men have got the emotional intelligence to know how to win a discussion. Really? No. I think that's exactly it. Oh my God. Listen, okay. So we're past that. Now, this is our last episode. So we need a quick update on our beautiful baby. How are things going? So if you have something called fire crotch. Lightning crotch. Lightning crotch. Oh boy, and it is lightning crotch. Someone called it thunder crotch me the other day and I was like, you mean lightning crotch?

11:35And they were like, thunder crotch, lightning crotch. Can you explain what this is? It's like a lightning bolt going up my vagina. Just randomly. Just fires up it? Fires right up the vagina. I cannot tell you. Mid-walking. What does it feel like? I grab my vagina because I don't know what. It's a natural instinct. It feels like a sharp stabbing pain Going lightning up my vagina Someone's electrocuted up my vagina What is that from? I think it's from the pressure of the baby And like trapped on nerves or something in my vagina And your nipples hurt Yeah they've hurt for the last 10 months Get with the program Really?

12:11Yes So do you get to a point in Yeah no sorry I'm not oofing at you I'm oofing at how uncomfortable I am This is it she's very uncomfortable now guys So this is the scene We can feel this is the moment where we have to go on maternity leave because it is getting to that point where everything is uncomfortable, isn't it? Yeah. I want to know how uncomfortable. I wish I could get inside your body and understand it. Well, if you can see, I'm actually really smiling because I actually don't give a fuck about how uncomfortable I am at the minute because I'm so thrilled I've made it and it's just so soon and we're going to meet the baby.

12:44The excitement outweighs the uncomfortableness at the minute. Yeah. But don't let that fool you because I am uncomfortable. I can't sit down my pubic vein synthesis or whatever the hell it's called pelvic griddle no I know I know that I should be in a wheelchair and I know that my pain threshold is absolutely outstanding and I just explained and anyone else if you had this pain you would be on crutches for sure I couldn't be so certain and I thought every pregnant person had this I went to my sister's first baby's first birthday and all of her friends are like baby number two or whatever and they were like how are you doing this?

13:23I'm limping I literally I limp Can I explain what Sophie does? Honestly and I don't mean to laugh but it is honestly Sophie in the middle of the night she'll be sleeping next to me right? Obviously because we share a bed and I will she'll rustle to get up in the bed in the middle of the night and this is Sophie getting up in the bed in the middle of the night she'll go this ha ha it's actually really upsetting she goes ha ha she gets to the side Don't do that weird like chucky noise it's more like ah ah and then when you get up thump thump go the legs and when you walk to the loo it's like you're John Wayne you're swaying backwards and forwards I couldn't be less attractive now you're a trooper I'm so in awe of you I truly am it's amazing I said because obviously I told you guys we're at the stage we're like we really should be nailing the sex you've never told me this I did I said we need to be having sex now we really need to wrap this up and you looked at me and you went you're just a bit of a unit as I'm there you're gonna well then my tits hanging on my stomach and then my mom also my mom staying with me and my mom walked into my bedroom the other day she wanted to borrow like my hair dryer and I was there naked and she was like god it's just you know it just looks like you've got a bouncy ball at the top and it's just started laughing she's like it's just the boobs resting on the tummy and I went I know mom I look like a toad and it's It's like, you know the toes with a big fat tummy and they have like the big saggy boobs.

14:52Toads do. And they rest on the stomach. And my mum was like, instead of going, no, darling, you're a great swimmer. Oh my God, you do. It's like Chubba the Hutt. Chubba. Who the fuck is that? And it's funny when I say it's not funny. Chubba. Google Chubba the Hutt. Oh, I know. I know exactly. Google Chubba the Hutt. Oh, it is. No, because Chubba doesn't have big enough, Like it's more of a toad I want to see what toad in toad hole looks like Because I think it's that Oh it just comes up with the zostures Don't look like that Toad in the hole I don't know I'm bored of that conversation anyway Anyway at this point I really respect all those women who like Really you know And respect to loads of men find women Very very very sexy Pregnant But supposedly your vagina is better Why?

15:44It's like squidgier and like fuller so it obviously like is a smaller hole thank god it's not funny it's just not thank god it's not funny because before hello oh oh Sophie Sophie Sophie this is like you're basically just saying you've got a pencil dick so I wouldn't laugh about that hello right firstly anyone listening anyone listening feels bad for me because firstly you say I had bad breath that was a fat lie and that was your first gag Yeah. Now I've got pregnant, you want to say that I've got some granny gaping vagina. Like, it's not true. Everyone knows I don't have sex. So there's no way that I have a gaping vagina.

16:25Like a cave. Bats. Oh, cat in the cave. Oh, my God. Do you know the biggest realisation for me this week? Was I thought babies in your stomach when you were pregnant? No. I thought babies had like a regulator that you breathe in underwater like a scuba diver. That's not a joke. Right, I'll tell you. How could they breathe underwater? The baby's getting hiccups all the time. And it's the weirdest feeling ever. You're having hiccups in your stomach. It's so bizarre. Anyway, so off I trot to hospital at 9pm, you know, with Jamie. And I said, how's the baby getting hiccups? Is it because the baby's swallowing too much of the amniotic fluid?

17:08and you went, no, they've got the regulator on their mouth. I thought they had a regulator on their mouth. And I went, oh yeah. How are they breathing underwater? Don't fuck about it. What do you actually mean? Of course they don't have a piece of plastic tied up to a wire. No, but they have the placenta or something over the mouth. That's right. Guys, sorry. Listeners, please listen to what my husband... Well, how are they breathing? He thought the placenta covers the mouth and they breathe underwater, you fucking idiot. You think babies have gills? How the fuck are they breathing? Underwater.

17:37You think babies breathe underwater? Babies breathe underwater. Are you mad? No, no, you're mad. So, sorry. How would babies breathe underwater? They just do. The baby's underwater now. Yes, but it's not breathing underwater. It's got a thing over its face to make it breathe. It has like a thin tube. Jamie said the baby has a tube connected to my heart to help the baby breathe underwater. Please, everybody, just die. Please understand that you think babies breathe underwater. Magda. Okay, it says here, babies do not breathe in the womb. There you go. Instead, they get their oxygen and nutrients from the mother via the umbilical cord placenta.

18:18Thank you very much. There you go. I knew that. No, you didn't. You said they were breathing underwater. So why then? You terrible mother. Well, sorry, they don't have the placenta covering their face. They breathe from the umbilical cord that's attached to the placenta. Listen, it's a very emotional episode today. So it is the time normally when we go into listeners' messages. And I imagine it's going to get emotional. We're going to have lots of different things going on. So Magda Yui, what are we going to do now? We're going to listen back to the first ever episode of Nearly Weds. No! Yeah.

18:51So was this the one that I got told was just a pilot because you wanted to put it on private parts? I recorded a show with you, yes, because I thought you were extremely funny and we got engaged. And I thought that getting married was quite fun. I thought doing a podcast with you was going to be fun And I didn't want to stress you out by saying different things So I just said let me shoot a pilot, let's see what happens This is that episode that we recorded I haven't listened to this I listened to this This is in 2022 4th of April 2022 4th of April 2022 The last time I listened to it was when we were in Mexico Together Why did you listen to it then?

19:26Because that was when we released the show Oh my god, you're right So this is our very first episode of when Sophie and I ever did a podcast together. It was called Nearly Weds because we were getting married. It didn't have a name. This was truly a pilot. We didn't even know what the concept was. We just came and we sat down. Well, here it is.

19:47Are you ready for this, Sophie? I am. Are you sure? Ready. I tell you what, I'm tired. Are you right? Big old argument, didn't we? I thought you were going to try and imply that we'd had loads of sets. I was like, you're not fooling anyone. Hello, I'm Jamie Leng. hello i'm sophie hubby and we met four years ago and now we are getting married that's right we are well nearly oh nearly

20:15people say people say you get engaged and it's fireworks for us you get engaged and it's like fueling a steam engine throwing coal the best of it was like the the engagement like everyone's like how was the set i was like i'm not actually sure if i should say this because it's not pg but then don't say this is the first episode you don't say these i know but i've got to just divulge of it so everyone then feel sorry about what what i've got myself into this isn't going to be anything really bad but he just becomes like this like there's like glaze behind the eyes and it's like this it's like a stranger is having sexual intercourse with me it's because when i have to try and picture someone else's face it's really hard i have to glaze over oh no don't say that i know that boys actually do that no they don't to be fair i would because i'm not looking do you know i picture sometimes judy dench judy dench yeah yeah why judy dench because lots of reasons you want me to you want to point them out to you yeah go on okay first point she's m and bond yeah okay second point I have a je ne sais quoi for people over 80

Like, my whole body was covered. I had to have, like, steroid cream all over me. You didn't get a single fucking bite. No, because they didn't bite me. Because you drank so much alcohol you stank. They were like, get away from that plant water boy with the vodka pouring out of his pores. Do you know what I take from all of that? What I take from that is we haven't changed. I know it is funny Which is amazing Which is kind of cool You almost feel like As we've got all Like deeper into our relationship We've become more like You know how we are But we obviously just started off As friends like that We were just like that We made fun of each other But I think our friendship You always used to make fun of me Like our friendship was always like that We never had like a very Like it was always like Taking the piss out of each other As friends So we then just moved into Like a romantic version of that We sound like really close mates But who were No we do have sex sometimes yeah once a year to make movies yeah yeah but it's but that's what I'm that's what I'm most proud of weirdly yeah that is really nice that we're just the same and also I remember at that stage we were still quite even though we'd maybe just got engaged we were still like the difference to closeness to how we are now well we were two and a bit years I was still like ooh I'm so you know now I'm like oof now you don't now you don't now all dignity is gone at this point.

32:33Okay, first and foremost, I want to say this again to everyone who has written us any messages. You're incredible. We have a message here from Zoe. It says, Hi Jamie and Sophie. I absolutely love your podcast. It has me crying with tears on my drive to work. I'm mum to five-year-old Evie and three-year-old Freya. Evie's favourite story is of her when she was a newborn baby and I took her to hospital for one of the newborn weigh-in checks they do. Just as I got her naked and placed her on the scale I said to the doctor I was really worried As she was so constipated And hadn't been for a poo for days At that exact moment Evie shat And I mean shat across the entire doctor's office I'm talking walls Desk Chair Projectile I was absolutely mortified And the doctor looked at me With the straightest face and said I really don't think she's constipated She then asked me to put on a clean nappy and being the frantic new mom I was, I didn't even have a clean nappy with me.

33:28One of the most hilarious memories to look back on now. She makes me tell her that story all the time. Wish you the best of luck on this amazing adventure. You will be fantastic parent, Zoe. Oh my God, that's so funny. From Becky. Hello, just to say good luck. I've loved listening, but being aware there've been so many comments that as soon as you see your baby, there is an instant love and connection. Hearing this is lovely, but don't panic if you don't feel this. I didn't feel it straight away and I was worried and scared. I didn't feel what everyone else was telling me I would. I wanted to protect the baby but I also felt overwhelmed with this new life and that it's forever.

34:01But what I will say is it grows and grows and grows so much as you get to know each other and learn what you're doing. I remember suddenly feeling this connection later on and he's now 18 months and my little bestie. I think this is important as I felt pressure and sad I didn't feel this instant thing but I've learned that this is normal for many but it's not mentioned much. Enjoy the bubble and cuddles and give yourself time I'm adjusting to this new, amazing, full-on, beautiful life. P.S. Here is a photo of my little one enjoying the podcast at seven weeks. You guys make excellent parents. He loved it.

34:33Oh, let's go. He's so sweet. Look. Oh, my God. Can I see? Pass it here. Oh, my God. Thank you. Thanks, guys. I got one from Fern. Hey, guys. I have listened to you both from the very start. I'm an OG fan of the MIC days. It's an emotional message, but I just wanted to say thank you both for the pod I have recently left the father of my child due to a lot of emotional abuse I have continual mom guilt as I really went into all this thinking my son would grow up with parents together forever Watching the love you both have for each other and the amount you laugh and are just so happy It made me realize why am I staying in something that doesn't make me happy Having a child is the biggest decision And seeing how loved you both are And the way Jamie supports Sophie Is like wow Why didn't I get that?

35:21My main focus now in life Is to make sure my son grows up Being the most loving, respectful man to women As what I have received from his father Is not just what I ever managed my life would be Sorry this is so deep I just want to say I have genuinely felt like I would never get the love I deserve But watching you both made me realise that the jump I have made was the right thing as no matter what I've been through. And even if I do have a child, I still deserve the love that you both have. You are both relationship goals and your baby is so lucky to have you both. And I know you'll be the best loving parents.

35:56Thank you for making me smile on my darkest days. Seeing a new episode is my highlight. And when I'm laughing, my little toddler laughs too. Lots of love and good luck on your next chapter oh well done we're so proud of you and i wish you all the best and you're gonna find your love and it's a really brave thing to do and i think the right decision you deserve to be happy and the baby will be happiest when you're happy 100 oh what do we have now yui we now have some voice notes from some people that might sound familiar to you hi jamie hi sophie it's paloma faith here just wanted to say good luck on your maternity leave and the birth and everything if If you've got any kind of advice you need, you just call me anytime.

This is just a quick note to send you all my love. I can't wait to meet your little baby and my new grandchild. Everything is ahead of you and I send you all my love. Hi, Jamie and Sophie. It's me, Katherine Ryan, your elderly geriatric companion in pregnancy. You will see that nothing matters very much and very little matters at all once this little soul comes earthside. And this will be a beautiful baby, a beautiful, symmetrical, talented, long-legged baby.

37:25And this baby is so lucky that they chose the finest parents. They're just going to have a blast. And I wish you three all the comfort and opiates that you can get. I love you.
