Sophie Thought She’d Get Arrested?!

0:00Well, hello, everyone. Welcome back to Newly Parents. Yeah. Welcome back to the show, guys. We love you, by the way. How are you feeling? Feeling good, actually. Yeah. Anything you want to travel with the listeners? No. I've got something. What? Harry fucking Styles. What about Harry Styles? I've got two things. I can't wait. Tell me. Off campus. It's sensational on every level. I mean, my friend Emily said it changed her brain chemistry and I fear it has done that for me too. Can we just also say about Off Campus, by the way, everyone's watched it. You are so late to the party. I don't care that I'm late.

0:34Because I watched it in my own time, on my own. And frankly, I loved it. Why do you love it so much? I don't understand why it's ended on episode eight when it's like right in the middle of the season. Like I'm only guessing they're not going to leave it. Like it's got to be like a month and they're going to drop season two. Is it that good? It's just like in the middle, we're just getting into it. And then bosh, it's gone. I just need to say two things. Like everyone's wondering whether they like Garrett Graham or the blonde boy. I'm blonde boy, but also I'm both. I'm like, whatever's on the screen.

1:06I'm like, I love you. I love you. I'm steering by the end of it towards the blonde guy. And explain to me what characteristics do you like about these two? So what it is, guys, it's the only way to describe it. I would say it's like a non-musical version of High School Musical. It's like a feel good, isn't it? It's like feel good. Like the cool boys, the it boys, like the, like, not necessarily like the Mrs. Poppins. It's not like those mean high school programs where it's like, she's the mean guy and they're the mean guy and they like bullies. Like everyone's so lovely in it. And the boys fucking love the women.

1:42Like they are in love. They don't mess them around. They're just so respectful. They're so kind. They worship them and they're beasts. Last night, Sophie went to bed, I think at 8.15 to go and watch off campus in bed. Yeah, obviously. I'd do that anyway. 8.15 into bed to watch off campus. And you don't like me watching it with you? No, because you're just, you're irritating. But also, it's like a moment for me. Like me, Graham, and Dean. Okay, great. Dean's maybe my number one. And tell me about Harry Styles. There's this clip going around where like, obviously one of his fans has gone two nights in a row.

2:14And he, have you seen it? And he sees her and he's like dancing. Fussy, I know loads of my friends are like, what the fuck are his dance moves? I love them. They are so great. I'm not sure what they are but like you like the sort of awkwardness of it the sort of like I don't know what it is but like the little like ah I get into it you know it's not it's not like structured no no do you know what his dancing's like? yeah honey yes yeah I do can I say something his dance moves is that me? no it's like Toby's your friends and it's quite a unique dance but like it's very it's very similar I wonder if he's copied it what did Harry you think Harry Styles has copied my friend Toby?

2:52maybe maybe Okay, so hang on. So Harry Styles is dancing, doing his dancing. And what does he do? He dances and then he's like dancing to the mic. And then he sees this girl in the thing and he's like, like, he's like, you were there yesterday. And I'm like, you're so hot. And then... Why does that make him hot? I don't know. It's just unbelievable. And then he... Wait, why? Try to explain to him. And then he's like, I don't know. You do know. There is something you can tell. Okay, let me think. Go on, think. Because he's just so sweet. Like, he's just like hot. Like, he's not trying to be cool.

3:22anyway so he starts singing how does thumbs up go he's like guys let me know when he just speaks to the salmon he's like let me know when you're all good for me to go and then he's like I can't see if that's a thumbs up and then he's like Mimi in the corridor and everyone's like and then everyone's like why is he rage baiting himself Mimi in the corridor sing it for me no you're not getting it I'm like falling on tapas now like it's an inside joke and you're just really not getting it You're not even in on the inside joke. I'm not, no, but it's made me fancy him. I need to understand what the inside joke is, but people have gone crazy that he sang Mimi in the corridor.

3:59Okay, well, on that note, ladies and gentlemen, should we get into the show? Let's get into it. Hello, I'm Jamie Leng. And I'm Sophie Leng. And now, we're newly parents. Oh, yeah, we are, baby.

Hi, it's Brooke DeVard, host of Naked Beauty, and I want to talk about how I upgrade my hosting experience. There's a moment just before guests arrive when my home stops feeling like a series of rooms and it becomes an atmosphere.

5:30The light settles, the air shifts, and then the beautiful scent of jasmine, rose, and fig fill the air. It feels warm and considered. That's what Pura does. It turns fragrance into environment. A collection of beautiful, clean fragrances, all controlled from your phone. Choose your sense of place at Pura.com.

5:50Big news, honey. The World Cup is on. I know. Which World Cup is it? The World Cup. I know, but playing what sport? Football, obviously. Football. It's playing football. Blue is the colour, football is the game. We're all together and winning is our aim. So cheer us on through the sun and rain because Chelsea, Chelsea is our name. Hey, hey. Okay, that's great. England are playing, not Chelsea. So what's the... England, England, England, England. And what's the famous English song that everyone sings that they feel like it's going to... You know, when they think we're going to win the World Cup.

6:34Oh, I know it. I know. Swing low. No. Sweet chariot Rugby, that's rugby Coming, that's rugby Football's Football's coming home It's coming home Football's coming home So how do you annoy it? We've just won the World Cup, Sophie It's coming home It's coming home Honey, we've just won the World Cup Football's coming home What the? Ah, my brain. Why is it not computing it? Football's coming home. It's coming home. It's coming home. Football's coming home.

7:20Football's coming home. It's coming home. It's coming home. It's coming home. Well, I've never heard that song in my life. I'm not even joking. Have you? You've never heard that ever? No, sing it to me. Football's coming home. It's coming home. It's coming home. It's coming. Football's coming home. That's it. I knew it. England captain is? Harry Kane. Well, five points to Gryffindor. High five to that, honey. Let's go. Harry fucking Kane. Harry fucking Kane. Obviously, I know that. Obviously, you know that. And he was on I'm Slep. Harry Kane was what? On I'm Slep. What? Harry Kane was on I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.

8:07He was. I think you got confused with Harry Redknapp, who was on I'm a celebrity, get me out of here. That's what I thought it was. You thought Harry Redknapp, who must be in his 60s, like... But the captain's just the guy who shouts at them. Right, I've got this so wrong. Do you think the captain plays? No, I don't think the captain plays. What does the captain do? Directs him and wears a suit. Like Jose Mourinho is the captain for something. Right? So that's the manager. Right. The captain's Harry Kane. He plays in the actual game. Okay. What position does he play? Captain. You just told me that.

8:43Yeah, but you think he plays... No, not a center. Right. Middle. No, I'm good. Center forward. There you go. Obviously. You've nailed this. Okay, so this is exciting. And in the World Cup, every other team plays. That's what happens. So we're going to be watching these games together. If you had to describe the offside rule. I'm playing for England yeah you're playing for England and you get a penalty sure England you've got a penalty you're Spain and I England then get an offside kick as your penalty the most confusing thing I've ever heard in my life so you're you fucked it's basically a favour to the English game so we it's going on I put my ball on the side of the pitch and I kick it for England as a freebie because you guys have fucked up and you get a penalty.

9:34That's offside. All I know is that like all the young values go that's so offside. That is the most random way of describing anything. I don't think that made sense. You said you put the ball on the side and then you kick it and then they mess up and then you get a penalty and that's offside. Two teams. Two teams. One team's got a penalty. Yes. This team get an offside kick as their penalty because they fucked up and they get to kick the ball and get a free kick. It's just a free kick. No, that's a free kick. You're close. Offside rule, I'm going to explain it to you just really quickly. Just so you understand, when watching the game, you have your defenders, the last man, right?

10:10So say England are playing Spain, right? The England player, Harry Kane or whoever it is, can't be in front, yeah, behind. I'm explaining it badly now. When we're watching Ziggy, right, play his sport, because it's going to happen, all right? Might not. You're going to be on the sideline cheering him on, right? and are you going to be one of those parents are you going to be an aggressive parent or are you going to be a chill parent a chill parent obviously so you're not going to get like if he misses a goal or he doesn't get obviously not and also like if he doesn't want to play sports he doesn't have to play sports he might want to be a ballerina yeah and lovely he might want to paint he might want to read books anyway okay so we're going to we have to watch if England are in the final we're going to watch that together by the way I would like to know when it is 19th of July 19th of July we're back in England baby Yeah, we're in England.

11:00We're just cruising. I have a little bone to pick with you. Pick your little bone. I'll pick it apart. You pick that bone. Favourite bone in the body? Give it to me. Fibula. And where? Tibula. Fibula? Where in the fibula? Where is the fibula? It's your wrist or your foot. Sophie, by the way, still thinks that her tailbone is popped out of her butt. It's so painful, guys. What were you doing again where you think it's... I have to refuse to tell you. I don't want to tell you. But anyway, my tailbone needs to be popped back in. Or has it popped out? Can I explain? Is it when you push? Give me a little nod.

11:46It's a shake of the head. I'm shaking a head. People want to know this. No one needs to know. It's like not a push. It's like the sensation of needing, the thought of even needing to go to the bathroom. Then your tailbone feels like it's popping out. My tailbone really hurts. It's like not a good feeling. If you don't remember this, Sophie's tailbone popped out during her pregnancy. So it's now still popped out. Do you remember those little, do you remember those toys at school? Which were, you would pop. No, like a slinky, but actually nothing like a slinky. I don't know why I even said that.

12:16It's nothing like a slinky. It's one of those things that you like, you would fold inside out, put on the ground, and they would go and then pop up in the air. No, never had them. You've never had them? I've never had them. Do you know what's absolutely crucial that we must just quickly touch on that Jamie has never, ever watched High School Musical? This is the start of something new. It feels so right to be here with you. I'm so fabulous. This is my single request. All things fabulous. The bigger, better, the best. okay so this is high school musical yes here i'm gonna shoot my shot i'm gonna shoot my shot no you don't even know about it and by the way i i play high school musical like i'm sick to death with like roses are red violets are blue all those nursery songs like five little ducks went swing day so i've decided to like up it a little bit like high school musicals where i sat and he loves it okay so high school musical what do you love about high school musical i mean my son i play High School Musical for him now and he absolutely loves it and what do you love about High School get my head in the game that's it head in the game you've not even watched it you've never watched it head in the game you have no idea about High School Musical and that's a travesty it's a criminal offence it's just not okay alright well if I was going to sing this song I don't want to be anything no Trebond Tree Hill I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to...

13:47No, again, wrong. I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately. Were you Brock or Peyton? Listen, I was Nate. I was the guys. I didn't fancy the guys. Okay. No, no, let me rephrase that. Let me rephrase that. It's their own, honey. No, I didn't fancy the guys. You liked Nate. So Hayley. I liked I liked Chad Michael Murray I also loved Sophia Bush Brooke You literally Don't even know the names Yeah Brooke was unreal She was so hot So the Wondery Hill I loved And then The biggest The bestest of all And I'm trying to think of the song But I can't get it in my head Hold on one second You're all going to sing it with me Don't tell me Don't tell me what it is Ah No that's Gavin DeGraw again I can't You want to Wondery Hill don't you Yeah No I want to do OC Don't tell me what it is Oh we've been on the run driving in the sand living in the number one California here we come right back where we started from Jesus Christ I was so freaking ready California here we come God Brody eat me alive he's the true love of my life Seth Rogen Seth Rogen Seth oh yeah Seth the character Man, all these shows were so good.

15:13They were so good. I can't wait to re-watch all these shows with Ziggy. I know, but when's that going to be? When he's old enough. He's six months. I don't think he can do it enough. But when are we going to let him watch Lion King? Do you remember watching Smurfs? I loved watching Smurfs. Lion King is the greatest story ever told. And if you don't know this, it's also based on Hamlet. It's a little snippet for you right there. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's based on Hamlet. Father dies, you see the ghost of the father. What's Ariel based on? She told me this. Little Mermaid, terrifying story.

15:40tell us Ariel the little mermaid is based on a mermaid that fell in love with a human who walked on the earth and in order for her to go and join him she had to take on a curse which basically meant every single time she walked she stepped on glass it was so hideously painful and anyway he the person she fell in love with then fell in love with someone else but she loved him so much she continued the torture forever terrible that little mermaid is my favourite movie out of them all what's your favourite? Lion King 100 % without a doubt because we've been chatting about like nostalgia stuff OC great you know One Tree Hill unbelievable high school musical get a head in the game head in the game yeah did you ever used to collect anything when you were younger yes I used to get the Beanie Babies I collected the Beanie Babies and I also collected dolls around the world dolls around the world so they would come in like a plastic there was like a magazine and it was like a little tiny China doll and you would get like one from Brazil or one from China and they would dress in the and then you would get a pamphlet, like a magazine about the culture.

16:43Okay. So as a young child, you would... Anyway, I collected them for years and years and years and I don't know what my parents have done with all of these beanie babies and dolls around the world and I'm so angry and upset about it. Why are you angry and upset? When I tell you, because I know they'd have been worth a fuckload of money now and when I tell you, I ruminate about it. Like, you know, people go to sleep thinking about something really embarrassing that you said to someone on the street that day. I think, what did my mum do with those beanie babies and what did my mum do with those dolls around the world?

17:11Because they've just disappeared. I think she just left them somewhere. I think she just moved out of the house and left them there. And I really am upset about it. But can I tell you something that I was really jealous of? Yeah, I've got to tell you something after this as well. I forgot to tell you. Sand animals? Do you remember like those little shiny, you get like a snake and it was made out of sand or you get like a frog. No, no, guys, you must. They were like toys, but inside them was sand. I don't know what they are, but yeah. Right, so my friend had loads of these toys and I was so obsessed with them.

17:39But I didn't really get any of those sort of things. I just had my big stash of bean babies. Anyway, I went to her house once and she had a really small little frog. I stole it. Why? I was so jealous of it. I put it in my pocket and I was just... You stole your friend's frog? Yeah. And I went home and my mum found it in my pocket and she said, what is this? And then my dad came in and sat me down and said, look, Sophie, we're going to have to call the police because stealing is illegal and that's really wrong. I was like, seven? And your dad said this to you, that's terrifying. He was like, the police could get you, like stealing is illegal, it's a theft, like it's all these things.

18:20And I was so terrified, I hid behind the sofa for the whole day. I thought the police were going to get me. I was quivering. My parents didn't find me. Don't think I was looked for once. I don't know where that tangent went, but it went on a long one. All right, so back to the beginning. Sophia Boo still has my name, full name, in her phone book. So when I call her, it says Jamie Lane. Can I ask you this? Yeah. What wife, or husband for that matter, when I met you, your name is Jamie Lane, so I put your name in my phone as Jamie Lane? Who goes, oh my God, we've now made it to the point I'm going to change it?

18:54Every single person. I'm going to show you what you are on my phone. Yeah, but I don't. You've also, by the way, I'm going to flag that you've changed this multiple times. And I'm also going to flag that you have your mates called Zac Efron and Justin Timberlake, so that when they call you, people think you've got Justin Timberlake and Zac Efron calling you. It's a really good flag. So I'm surprised I'm not in there as like Kylie Jenner. No, we had this whole thing, which I changed my friend's phone number, phone name in my phone to Zac Efron. So then when we were like younger and flirting with people, Zac Efron would ring me and I'd say, sorry, got to take this.

19:26Sophie in my phone is goat with a heart, the greatest of all time. That's what you are in my phone. Why? Because it's sweet. Okay, my sister does have husband with a love heart for when he goes. But like, why has she done that? Because it's sweet and romantic. Okay, so I'll change yours to husband. You know, when we're in a relationship, we've got to be romantic with each other. That's what we've got to do. This is my little sentiment of romance that I give you. I'm going to put you as ice in case of emergency. I don't get the reference. Ice. Ice. Like mum ice. Yeah, in case of emergency. so say I fall over and hit my head and the policeman takes my phone he's gonna go see ice who to call in case of emergency ice as in ice in case emergency ICE I thought you meant the cold stuff aww darling can you just give me an update because I think because it's newly parents update on anything new that's happened to Ziggy anything that we're excited about anything that we're like oh my god this is amazing what is it honey so my son can sit clap hands everybody Ziggy can sit up My son can also go...

20:31He can blow raspberries, yeah. My son also can make an incredible owl and pigeon impression. It's like there is a pigeon coming out of his mouth. It's like, oh, how was a pigeon noise? Sorry, Ziggy can make the most insane pigeon noise. And I didn't realise this until Sophie told me. The pigeon noise is he goes... No, that's not it. It is. What is the noise that a pigeon makes that? That's it. Yeah. He's like... where's the pigeon oh it's my son um he also has gone from quite a chill baby to like doesn't sit still i think a little bit of jamie's energy has crept into him at six months it's like he woke up and he was like thrashing about grabbing everything eating everything screaming of happiness he's beautiful he's the greatest thing ever and he's like so in love with me and he loves you so much.

21:28He does love you so much. He's the most unbelievable thing in the world. So that is the update of Ziggy. Okay, are you ready for this, honey? I am ready. It's time for Listener's Messages.

24:24Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Newly Parents Listeners Messages. Okay. Mine's from Lydia. It's really good. You're going to like this. When I was 18, I went on a night out after an evening of babysitting. Because I'd been looking after children, I couldn't start drinking until I got in the taxi. So naturally, I bought a water bottle filled entirely with neat Bacardi. Yeah, we know those days. what was your what was your poison of choice mine was what was it spun off ice let's go delicious did you ever do a straw pedo all the time do you know what a straw pedo is drink out of straw no or upside down with a straw yeah you'd put the straw you'd cut the straw around it you'd glug it down I once did four of those and I ended up when I was young I did four of those and I was really drunk and I ended up sleeping in an ant's nest I fell asleep on an ant's nest That is hell on earth Do ants bite?

25:23Oh yeah, baby, they bite And they get all up into your nook and cranny And they get in my nook and cranny And by the way, okay, somehow I got past the bouncers Headed straight into the loo and downed the entire bottle We don't advise you to do that Alright, this is just a story We're not advising you to down that A few hours later it hit me Lucky my friends were on hand to get me home During the night, I woke up desperate for water To my delight, I found a glass of water with ice Beside the bed And drank the whole thing The next morning, I thanked Beth Who's Beth? That was so thoughtful You even put ice in it But Beth looked confused What water?

26:02We went into the spare room And I pointed proudly at the glass I feel sick, I know what it is I know what it is Hold on I know what it is Don't say what it is I feel sick the colour drained from her face fucking hell Lydia those are my retainers oh my god I'm not joking I actually genuinely just got stomach sick it came up it came up in my tummy I'm actually going to vomit apparently I wandered into the bathroom fucking hell apparently I wandered into the bathroom found a glass containing her retainers carried it back to bed that drank the contents. Can I just say, and this is so disgusting, but unless you've got retainers, had retainers, Jamie knows because I have retainers, that is the most vile.

26:52The entire contents. The worst part, Beth had been away at university and those retainers had been soaking water for about a month.

27:07She signed it off. Some people hit rock bottom. I drank it. lydia's a fucking legend that is absolutely just god i think i would actually maybe have to have therapy over that because i reckon every time i made my stomach go because someone once said to me what about drinking water doesn't it just remind you of drinking spit was it you yeah it's like if you if you have you ever eat a banana it's the same consistency as eating poo no that's just hideous but another one is a limp ball chocolate ball if you bite into it close your eyes it's just like biting into pure butter like lurpak and that makes me feel ill okay i've got one birth what is this little rug doing i've got bare feet and i can't bear for people to see my toes right now you're halfway through the show i know but my feet were up and bite i'm getting that cramp in my leg all right you little puppet okay drink away with your next retainer from ella i was pregnant in april 2025 not long before you announced your news listening each week while being such a similar timeline made the podcast even more special i went into labor on the 1st of december and our daughter winnie arrived on the 2nd of december during labor i actually wondered whether sophie might be going through the same thing that is the sweetest thing ever when ziggy arrived i was convinced they must have birthdays only days apart my husband seb and i always have a very similar dynamic to you we're best friends first and laughter always wins seb also takes suspiciously long toilet trips i'm convinced are just an excuse for some scrolling and peace and quiet i've loved listening from day one but since becoming parents the podcast has become incredibly relatable and comforting.

28:39So thank you both. Winnie and I will be listening every Monday for a long time to come. Yes, Winnie! Winnie! Winnie! Let's go, we should have a little play date. We should, that is so sweet. And I can't bear that you thought of me drawing labour. Like, that is the sweetest, I think that might be the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Who did you think of drawing labour? Me? Harry Potter, I couldn't stop watching Harry Potter. Drawing labour, you were thinking of Harry Potter? I was, because I was like, dosed up with all that medicine. and I didn't film one. You found nothing. Okay, let's go.

29:09Okay, you ready for my one? I'm ready. Okay, honey, I've got one from Anonymous. Hi, Jamie and Sophie. I generally think I have one of the wildest dating stories of all time. A few years ago, I matched with a guy on a dating app. We chatted for a couple of weeks and eventually met for drinks. The date was completely underwhelming. There was no spark, no flirting, and by the end of the evening, we both pretty much decided there would be no second date. A few months later, I decided to do one of those DNA ancestry kits. I was adopted as a baby and always been curious about my biological family. After getting my results, I received a notification saying I'd matched with a relative, a cousin.

29:46The cousin was the guy I'd gone on a date with. Shut the hell up. It turns out our biological fathers were brothers and the craziest part is that he was adopted too. That's, that's mad. Wait, did they kiss on the day? No, they didn't kiss. So neither has an idea we were related. We'd grown up with different families, different surnames, and never crossed paths before matching online. Thankfully, absolutely nothing happened between us. We were both very grateful that there was zero chemistry. When I told my best friend, she simply said, look, like the universe was a term of you to meet each other.

30:17Not soulmates, but family. Safe to say I've never complained about a bad first date since. Love you guys. That is amazing. That is incredible. I hope that you guys are like close and bonding and like that. You've got, that's incredible. That's incredible. Okay honey, give it to me I've got a love story Here we go Hey Jamie and Sophie I've been meaning to write in for ages Because I genuinely think I've experienced one of those moments in life That can't really be explained A few years ago, my nan passed away We were incredibly close and before she died She always used to tell me Don't worry, when the right person comes along You'll just know The next morning, for no reason whatsoever I decided to stop at a coffee shop I'd never been to before The man in front of me accidentally picked up my order Turned around to apologise and we ended up talking for nearly an hour.

31:02Fast forward three years and we're now engaged. Wow. Let's go. The weird part is a few months into dating, he came around to meet my family and saw a photo of my nan. He went completely pale. It turned out that years before we met, he'd worked in a care home and my nan had been one of the residents he looked after. No, that is wild. Maybe it's a coincidence, but every time I think about it, I can't help feeling that somehow we were meant to find each other. Lots of love to Anna. Let's go, Anna!

31:57By the way, everyone, my stomach is in ribbons. I'm not going to lie. Mine also is in ribbons. And this is TMI for everyone. No, we don't need to know that. I need to tell you. It's honestly, my stomach is so bad that like, I'm basically like Picasso in the loo at the moment.

32:17It looked like, have you ever done, have you ever like, have you ever like made like a clay ceramic thing? The whole the whole toilet bowl Toilet bowl? The whole toilet bowl looked like I'd put clay ceramic in it That is so disgusting And then I got a hairdryer and dried it and now it's a pot

32:44I really know Magda's humour because I know what counts I did, I did I made it into a little water thing. A little water thing. A little watering can. My stomach's in ribbons. We went for a lunch and honestly, it's in the worst shape ever. My two and so is my friends. Okay, we had food poisoning. I think we've been poisoned. Food poisoning is the worst and we've spoken about this before but Sophie never gives me. I actually feel really nauseous too. I feel shockingly nauseous, yes. Do you? Yes. I forgot to tell you this as well. I need to tell you this story because I know it's happened before but I don't know how it's happened to me again and it happens to me every single time.

33:20I've changed my dentist. Okay, so I go to a dentist in Isha now, right? Obviously, we're in central London. I go to the dentist in Isha. Every single time I go on my Vespa there. Okay, once again, I ended up on the motorway and I can't tell you, Sophie, how scary it is. And I was wearing my big puffer jacket again and I'm on the Vespa and I was on... And I'm not kidding you. This is what I did. I swear on my life, okay? I'm on my Vespa, okay? And I'm like driving. I see I'm going onto a motorway. You know when you go on and the lanes start to spread out and you're like, oh, fucking hell, this is big.

33:58I'm in the slow lane right on the edge. A car could pass me in the slow lane. That's how far on the edge I am. And I was like so scared, like driving and being... And it's like you're like this, bent down, and you think you're going fast, but in fact you're just not moving. I swear to God this happened. I can't believe I didn't tell you. I was driving like this so fast, like so low. And to get my fear over it, I went, come on! I went, come on! Like that. And a lorry went, gong, gong. As it went past me, never in my life been more terrified. Scariest one ever. Terrifying. How many minutes were you on the motorway for?

34:3915 minutes on the motorway. That's long. Yeah, going from Central London to Isha. You don't have to take the motorway, I did. why did you take the motorway because I I don't know because I just I don't have maps on my phone on my Vespa so I'm just like trying to work out the route and it said a sign going to Isha this way so I got onto the motorway you're not that swift because when you go it's like half a day honey do you know how long it takes to get to Isha a fucking long time yeah especially if you're on the motorway that's what I'm saying it's not swift you should really just nip to one on Harley Street maybe 10 minutes back to me not as good as Fair Oaks Dentist and Isha okay well you know what I'm going to start going to Manchester to get my teeth done.

35:15And you can look after Ziggy when I just go for half the day. But it did get me thinking about all the little things in life that actually annoy me throughout the day. What are the little things that annoy you throughout the day that don't annoy anyone else? I'll tell you mine. Go. Okay. When I go and get the yogurt, right? And it's got that little lid on it. And I take the lid back and I scoop my yogurt out and the lid flies back on my hand. Yeah, I hate that. Yogurt all over my hand. Yeah. Most annoying thing. Give me one. Going to get loo paper and there's no loophapen on the end of it. But that annoys everyone, doesn't it?

35:45I'll tell you what annoys me. What? And it annoys everyone. People walking slowly on escalators. That grinds my gears. Escalators? Yeah, on escalators. I'll tell you another thing that grinds my gears. When you're about to get into the lift and you press your floor and it's slowly closing and then someone puts a hand in to stop it. You're like, just wait for the next one. It grinds my gears. What annoys you that I do? Go. Here comes the list. No, I'm really trying to think what actually annoys me. oh okay I really can't stand when people ring the doorbell like a delivery man Amazon man they ring the doorbell and then they ring it again I'm like I'm fucking coming yeah and then they start knocking I'm like yeah good one that's a good one that drives me up the wall and then I'm so grumpy and then now Amazon they leave it no now Amazon why are you asking me for a code that's annoying it's not Deliveroo what code are they asking you for we have to go onto the app we have to get a code in our email like what why Why?

36:41Customer service is not great. It's not great anymore. Can I ask you this, actually? The scratch on our car. The big, huge scratch on the side of our car that you said was some big lorry that must have gone past the car. Was that you who did it? I don't know. Sophie, was that you? I'm not going to claim it on insurance. I know you're not claiming it on insurance. We can't. So it's there. Yeah, because it's me, obviously. It was you. You absolutely, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? What happened? I scratched my car and then I got, the guy was in his car and I was like, well, actually what happened was.

37:26Why can you lie to me like so easily? No, no, no. Can I just actually say that? You said, oh, something's happened to my car. I think it was a big glory. And I was like, that's weird because the side of the car it scratched on, there's no cars going past it. it's on like the what actually happened was Jamie was like what do you mean a lorry scratched her car I was like a lorry just scratched the car and it drove off and you were like what is wrong with people why would anyone not stop and like leave a note and I was there like it was me but I was reversing out of a very small spot and I was eye to eye with this guy in a lorry nice no he was in like a van like a white van yeah because eye to eye in a lorry is quite hard I was like eye to eye I know because I was like, I got myself down a real prickly, prickly street.

38:12Like I should, he, it was just not good. And anyway, I'm trying to reverse and I'm trying to reverse and I'm doing like eight point turns and he's just staring at me and I'm just like, and then I'm, I thought I'd got it and I could hear like a squeak, squeak. And I was like, what the fuck is that noise? And at this point I am literally eye to eye to him and he just winds down this window. He's like, you're on my car. And I was like, oh, that's what the squeaking is. but at that point to get it out I would have had to have literally it would have been on his car so I was like I don't know what to do now because I can't open the door because his like bonnet was on my car and then he he was kind of laughing he was so nice and I so that white paint is from a white van that you scraped and I got a wet wipe from my boot of the car because I'm a mum and I wiped it I said he said let's just see if it comes off and I wiped it off and he was like it's come off but your car's fucked and he was like I don't worry about your car I'm like he was so nice honey there's white marks in our car I know our car's fucked but like he was so nice because I gave him my email I gave him my number I gave him everything I was like take it if there is if you get home and like there is any scratches that you want to call me about just call me he was like I'm sweet but you're fucked and then he I was like how will I get down the street how are you telling me this now anyway I was like how am I going to get down the street because he was also down the street I said what are you going to do because it's so narrow he was like obviously you've got to reverse the whole way out.

39:37Like, you cannot be doing a turn. I was like, oh, God. And then the next car, I also, like, touched. Oh, my God. It was a point of, like, I was going to be stuck there. By the way, there was, like, people watching out their windows, watching me do it. I was probably two hours trying to get out of the street. It was hell on earth. And so I wrote on a little, I got the man in the van. He gave me his notepad. He was, like, a really nice man. and I wrote my number and I said, I don't think I've scratched your car but it did make a noise so if you find any scratches and I took loads of photos so they can't do me anymore.

40:12Yeah, yeah. You damn straight go. Yeah. Yeah, they can't do you but we can't do anything. But they've not called out. They've not reached out so obviously like there was no scratches from me. Well, it turns out I got to go and check on a car so I probably need a go. Brilliant news that is. Ladies and gentlemen, that's the end of the episode. Remember, get in touch, you can.
