3:10Olivia Attwood:A bit of pampas grass. That'll be the subscription series that I'm going to launch. The X-rays. Keys in a bowl. Before we get into things, we have a little house rule here. Okay. A leave it at the door policy where anything where you're kind of trying to leave behind in your life at the moment that's you know whether it be a rumor about you whether it be a hobby or a thing what's what would you like to leave the door my leave at the door is um i'd like everyone to stop thinking i'm a like obsessed scissorer because i mentioned it one time in what i thought was a safe space with a religious man right and now when people come up to me they're like when was the last time and i'm like actually quite a while ago because you have to really be in the like it's got to be a special occasion to scissor okay right it's okay so you're talking like to someone that has like the unfortunateness of being straight it's a shame do you know what I mean I feel like in a lot of ways I could be like God's been good to me but in that area it's been horrible it's a tough thing to like I think it's just a lot of work a lot of leg placement so it's just scissor you need to be like both of you need to be like we are doing this it's like quite athletic Yeah, yeah, exactly.

4:24It's a marathon and you have to be in all for the roller coaster. I'm sorry to you sat there, Ella. Ella is in the studio, guys, by the way. It's a birthday Christmas, maybe if you scored a goal type thing.

4:38Olivia Attwood:Nice. Okay, special treat. Yeah, and it lasts a while. And I'm always bottom, so it doesn't bother me. So you just got to spread them. I just like to lay there. Story of me life. In what context did you talk about scissoring? Well, with the rev, we were talking about religion. is the rev your your friend from I'm a celeb yeah so he's the reverend that was on I'm a celeb review we were talking about religion and I was saying I was at a Jesus camp once um because I just loved attention and they were like you'll get it there oh come on do you know what I mean I was like all these old men they were and they're like she needs Jesus more than anyone yeah they were splashing me with holy water it was sizzling um but they were going right so stand up if you don't you know want to have sex before marriage and I was like 13 and even then I was like I'm gonna get a leg over at some point prior to marriage yeah and everyone else stood up and i said all right and i just said i see my future it involves scissoring now and he was like i don't but what does that mean that i had to go into graphic detail on what scissoring is and i don't think he's been a religious man since or he spent more time in church asking for forgiveness yeah he's been on some dodgy websites now that bloke okay we're leaving well we're leaving the reputation of being like an avid scissorer at the door.

5:51Yeah, don't just assume that you've seen me in Tesco the night before I've scissored. Okay. Because I haven't. It was the week before.

5:58Olivia Attwood:So unless you share it with us, it hasn't happened. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I'll let everyone know on my story.

6:07Olivia Attwood:Talking of stories and content, are you doing dry jam? Yeah, I fucking hate it. What the fuck? Why? I knew you'd be, and when I heard you had alcohol today. I know. You couldn't have put me in bed. I can't drink alone. No. Well, I can, actually. And that's why I had to do Dry Jan, because I will happily sit in bed, Ella's away, I'm getting through three bottles. No, so you can drink on your own. Absolutely. I don't do that, ever. And that's why you're okay. Okay. Yeah, if I drank on my own, it would get real dark real quick. Really? No, I'm the type where I'm just like, I love everything. If I'm drunk, I'm like, oh, I love this film.

6:46And I'll put it on my story, like absolutely amazing work from the director this is incredible yeah do you know what like you smashed it you carry on i'm a big fucking fan and the next day i'm like i have to die so i thought you know what let's all just chill out yeah let's relax i ruined new year's so let's go into the new year sober tell me how you ruined new year's um so my family came over and there's no shock that my mum also probably has a slight issue okay um and we got pissed as a part and ella went to go and see her family okay clock struck 12 and in my drunk state i was like no you must come back to my house oh and give me a kiss oh so you got a little bit toxic with it yeah and she was like right well if i leave my family you best still be awake oh no i'm gaslighting I'm like how dare you like you're on the edge of consciousness yeah I'm one eye open I'm like how dare you think that I would pass out fuck you right well she gets to me else I've passed out and I woke up and I was so drunk that I wished her Merry Christmas so that's when I had to draw the line and say do you know what I'm going sober for a month and I ate it it's fucking boring

7:58Olivia Attwood:how are you like are you just hating it yeah my kidneys have stopped hurting so that's good no backache yeah so the cirrhosis is it's getting better i mean we've already kind of we've we've we've gone into this subject so let's talk about drinking yeah because we both look anyone that follows us this this could be an AA meeting at some point this just feels like a yeah like an intervention um we both like a drink we both like a night out i love it what's your earliest memories of getting hold of booze or going out well getting hold of booze i was 10 on holiday jesus christ and me dad used to have these beers called caribs they're really good bit of a honey taste bit of fun and we were on holiday and him and my mum were out on like the patio whatever drinking and I thought I'm just gonna steal some beers yeah so I had one and I felt great you know the little tingly legs yeah I thought I can get used to this and another three and I passed out and my dad was like Ozzy Osbourne is taking me beers and I was like where's my beers I was the beer thief and from that day I've loved it yeah it's been incredible I used to drink in fields so you probably did all that as well the Lamborghini in a field in the cold I was a bit of Glenn's vodka hanging out outside the one stop being like can you get me alcohol yeah half a flap out in the field because you've gone to piss and you're too drunk to get your pants on properly I think it's character building.

9:32Olivia Attwood:Because also, if you can make that much of an arse out of yourself and then just keep coming back for more, I don't know what it says about us as people. But it's built our stamina as well. I know if either of us are going out, I can last. And I won't vomit. No, I'm the same. And that I'm very proud of. We actually nearly had our first night out together, the Whip Looser and Christmas party. What did I miss? Did you get drunk? I don't really know everyone like incredibly well. I know my queen Jane and Denise wasn't there either, so I knew Jane. And so I was like, right, well, I'm just going to have to plumb all them fucking back.

10:08This was before the dinner. Oh, fuck. I was six Prosecco's deep. So you'd peaked. I peaked pre-dinner. They serve salad. I'm not fucking eating salad. Oh, fuck's sake. So I just didn't really. I had a bit of chicken. Yeah, a bit of pick. Not enough to line. No. And then I just started chatting shit to everyone. And I just had to leave. Do you get bad beer fear? Do you get anxiety? Yeah, and it will last. Really? Day. Like, I will wake up like the exorcist.

10:36Olivia Attwood:Because of your personality and the way that you can, obviously you're so self-deprecating. Why can't I fucking say that word recently? It was a good try, though. I know. You know what I'm trying to say. And you find out yourself, I'm surprised that you actually get so stressed. I have to do that before someone else does it. Right, okay. so it's you like flipping the script before they go oh my god yeah this freak i'll walk into a room and be like whoa my ass is flat before anyone can say because i know they fucking will yeah exactly that's why we've lasted this long yeah but like i'll wake up like the exorcist and be like i don't know how i've got here and then i'll remember and be like no and throughout the day it will come back to me in flashbacks and i'll have to physically hit my head or make a noise to get it out yeah I know there's a lot going on that's why I'm dry and it actually haunts me you're just flashing yourself on the head Ella I'll constantly all day be like was it that bad though tell me she's like no and I'm like you're lying to me I know you are does Ella play a role like Brad does for me he doesn't want me like pulling that thread because I'll drive him nuts all day so he'll be like you're fine just keep saying you're fine I think you know to tell me I've been okay actually I think you would tell me if I've been embarrassing though that's what's awful because I have to wait what was it that Christmas drinks at the neighbours at my neighbours Christmas drinks that's one time Ella's gone nah you fucked it you actually I can't even defend you here you fucked it I said I'm gonna I obviously built up the courage I went I'm gonna fucking speak to them and instead of walking up to them I walked did like an Anton Debec spin into their conversation and went so and that was just that's the surface so i just i thought i have to sell my house now i'm on right move so yeah do you find it's worse since you're now like in this industry and people know you or has it always been quite bad anxiety i've just always been a stay i think i've all and you know what i do awfully as well i love a gossip oh my god i love it same and best believe I'm going to gossip about someone to their best friend and be shocked when it gets back to them.

12:50Yeah, own goal it.

12:51Olivia Attwood:Yeah. Me and Brad get on really well on nights out but I tell you when he's lost his shit with me and he always is like, still to this day he's like, he will look at me and be like, I don't believe you. I'm like, but what would I be doing? I go to the toilet in a restaurant, meet some girls I don't know and be there for 45 minutes and he's at a table and I come back and he's like, where the fuck have you been? And I'm like, sorry, this girl literally. he's like I don't fucking care and he's like I don't believe you and I'm like where do you think I've been like so far from the car park like of course I've been that's what I've been doing where else would I be I will know their entire life story or I'll go so she was cheated on by this one and then he fucked the wife of another one and she's like cool and I give out so much unsolicited advice that we shouldn't be giving and we don't take yeah or the other thing this is I don't get I was talking about this over time on the radio because I was trying to give out some advice to someone like because I don't actually get that bad anxiety but one thing that gets me if i get a flashback is sometimes when i have the right combination of drunk you'll catch me on a wave where i could become involved in a debate that in real life i don't care about at all yeah so i'm like taking some political stance in the smoking area and talking about like politics and in real life someone asked that i'd be like whatever yeah i'm saying all this stuff i don't actually believe i'm saying it's so impassioned and I'm wrong as well yeah and then people try and correct me and go no that's actually fact whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you'll die on that yeah I'll die on it you could get me on any soapbox if you caught me right like I could I could end up campaigning for anything if I'm the right like leveled fucked up because that's a bad like you apparently care loads about I don't know turtles in New Guinea I'm like what yeah of course yeah you're making people sign a petition I'm like You know, like, I just get on a soapbox and I can't get off it.

14:39Olivia Attwood:Yeah, the moral high ground. Yeah, the moral high ground. But I do think that this is part of the reason you've got a good sense of humour, because you can laugh at yourself, which I think is one of the reasons that you're good in this industry and that you'll survive. But also just for life, because I do feel like people have forgot how to laugh at themselves. People are scary. People are really serious at this time. Yeah, and I feel like as well, if you do anything wrong, you're meant to really grovel about it. Yeah. I don't know what a grovel is. Is it too soon or can we talk about the football draw?

15:12No. What about? I finished that ball draw going, smashed it. I absolutely really did a good job there.

15:22Olivia Attwood:So basically, for anyone who doesn't know, you did a ball pick, which is basically where you pick balls out to find out which teams will play who in the women's football league. You were having some fun. You're just being you, basically. What I didn't realise here, Liv, is that usually it's a very serious occasion. But I started off, my opening line was, bit of fun, lesbian, fondling with some balls. It's on a plate. Which I thought. It's low-hanging fruit. I mean, you can't expect me not to say it. And then I ended it with, and even if you're a lesbian, get yourself a foot long. But people apparently didn't find that funny.

15:58No, they did not. No. And I was shocked at the reaction because I thought, if you're hiring me, calm I mean everyone should know watching yeah before they were happy I'm guessing and they knew

16:09Olivia Attwood:obviously what they were doing but I just this is my personal opinion of it and this take it away from what it's about I'm not getting into debates around women's sports and whatever but I do feel like it's like group think bias and people feel alone so they see someone going this is outrageous or they think okay I want to be part of that I'm gonna be like this is outrageous and then that person goes oh I want to be part of that and then it just spreads and before you know it's like do you actually all feel like this or just want to be part of something which in this consistence was being really mad at how you yeah balls at about nine times out of ten though people will come up to me in person and be like that was so good it's weird it's like but that's isn't that the reality of it though and i said well could you get up your tiktok now and type that in yeah and press send thank you i also do think tiktok plays a big part in like sensationalizing stuff because i feel like obviously one way you know can earn money from tiktok after a certain amount of views people are just looking for such a talk about something so then if they see everyone's this is trending it's a thread then someone's like oh i'm gonna make a tiktok about this because i know people are gonna watch it and do that with it and it that just gets toxic doesn't it the amount of people that will make videos and i'll click on their profile like slating me and i'll click on their profile and they've got like better help in their bio i know and i think you've lost it or like i live for my grandkids yeah like yeah or like you know god fearing loving life vegan so the animals but not me cool yeah that's what we're doing nice do you like do you can you take it in your stride or can you get could you get to a point where it gets to you did it get to you oh my god yeah ella was like nursing me back to health i'm like everyone hates me and i actually can't pop to shops for a pint of milk someone's gonna hit me yeah literally but not because of the fame just because of the hate i'm like someone's gonna stone me um but i are yeah i'll take it all personally and best believe i will watch every video i'll look at every comment and be like they're right and then i'll be like actually they're not right but in that moment they're right see if i'm flicking tiktok and i hear my and i just you know for you or randy try and traumatize you and it's someone talking about as soon as i hear my name i flick off it do you you're active though and see i'll see you in the comments of your like videos about you not a negative one but i'll always and i always think i wonder if you watch every now and again i will like leave a comment or like a yeah i mean or like if it's nice but like i won't i might listen to all the way through i might really i think i'm on two times speed all the way through yeah well the whole thing yeah captions too just so i know what they've said or sometimes like i think i'm trying to think of ones i have commented on maybe like if some sometimes you'll get you know this is like a real transit minute you know these um people that do like showbiz reporting and that's their whole do you know exactly what I mean and I know who you're talking about there's a few real yeah and they'll be like yeah whatever you know the pop culture news they'll be like they'll report on it so sometimes they'll do something and I will have heard it and I'll think no that's wrong that's actually wrong yeah I love what you're doing but that's where have you got that I appreciate the what you were trying to do there but where the fuck did you get that information from there are a couple I do see them and I'm like what the fuck are you talking about yeah and I'm too scared and some of them are quite nice they try all they my favourite is like when they set something up to have the potential to have the most brutal comments but they go well everyone's saying that you know she wore a really weird dress last night at the NTAs and it was really but I mean I think she looked great what do you guys think it was like you're setting you up you are setting everyone up to go she looks like a fucking dog what else I don't like like people that rate out for that gives me the fear of God.

19:54Olivia Attwood:That's a real, too many people who are unqualified are getting on that trend. Aren't they? After like NTA's pride. And again, it's just a, it's just a format point that does work really well. And you know, it's like, I'm looking at thinking you are unqualified. Yeah. And they go, not her best, but doesn't, don't like the color. And I'm like, spent my life savings on that. You've had that jump on for three days. Yeah. What are we doing here? It's got a hole in it. What are we doing here? Yeah. Yeah. agreed how do you feel about people rating fashion the way you look leave me out of it don't want to be involved unless it's 10 out of 10 smash that Grace then yeah put me in if you're going to say something negative just know that will stick with me oh no Grace no I know so fuck off leave me alone like it will stick with me and I will never wear a dress again oh GK that's really sad no I just need to grow a frontal lobe it will come it will come but right now it's not here so just please just drop me out of those videos oh I I feel like I grew up with my own fashion critic my mother so I've been on like you know fashion police since I was like 8 but in the lounge oh yeah she's my harshest critic so I'm very resilient to it and I always watch them I think you're wrong I didn't have and you're being loud about it yeah did you have an almond mum oh did I it was like very much like we'd have lunch but oh no one needs dinner We all have that dream trip we've been wishing we could go on, but too often life, or usually price, gets in the way.

My mum would have a couple, like one boiled egg and be like, I am full. And I'd be like, are we having chilli con carne still though? Because I was really looking forward to that.

22:02Olivia Attwood:I love, there's a couple of accounts that do these TikToks where you're eating a cake and they go, what are you eating? Oh, that's, I'll try and listen. Oh, it's so rich. Oh, I couldn't eat this crap that you eat. Like, you know. Yeah. Yeah, God love her. I felt that. Talking of TV, we talked, we touched on Luce. This is just for anyone doesn't know we've never done a loose woman together i don't think they trust us together i think it's fair so fair i don't think we'd be able to do it seriously no and also because i've even struggled with frankie and she's a lot more sensible than us our roles are to basically disagree with the older generation and to drop a few jokes that no one laughs at no one ever laughs at by the way or they'll gasp they'll gasp that that audience have humbled me so many times and then lee who's a comedian who i we had on with alan khan liby's house who does the warm-up He'll sometimes overcompensate for me if I've made a joke.

22:51Olivia Attwood:So I'm like, you get it. You hear him like, and you're like, Lee, please stop. You made it worse. Well, do you know what else as well? What people don't know, when we had the audience is, when you walk out, people like clap when they say your name. Ruth, the Ruth has been raised with Ruth, pun, come on. And like everything's going like, Denise, everyone's going fucking crazy. GK Barry, promise you, pink a drop. Shut the fuck up. No, no, it is. and I said to Lee once I said you just need to shut up and stop doing that and one time he went to the audience she's you know she thinks no one likes her or knows her no stop so can you really clap loud and I came out to like a roar and I looked at him and I went you're an arsehole yeah I knew it was you and he was like no I didn't do that and I was like now I feel worse thank you but yeah no I don't think we could because it would just be we'd be saying too many things that would everyone else would disagree with and then I'd end up swearing by accident because I'd feel too comfortable.

23:49We'd forget where we were. Yeah, exactly. We were on late night. I'd get a Prosecco out forgetting. Just open a tinny. Yeah, we're on daytime.

23:56Olivia Attwood:Yeah. How long have you been on now? A year? Two years? I'd say about a year now. I think coming up to a year. I mean, it's a big gig and you're the youngest ever loose woman. I was born when the show started which feels amazing. That must have been quite intimidating when the first few shows. I was a mute. Were you really? Yeah, they were probably like why have we hired her? She's not talking. And God forbid there was a guest. I'm not asking him a question. You're joking. No. And if I did, it would sound like, so obviously you are doing Emmerdale. And how are you finding that? It's like someone was reading it to you.

24:31Olivia Attwood:Yeah, because there were. I physically could not ask a question. Or if I disagreed with someone, is it Mariella? Yeah. Still to this day, I'm not disagreeing with her. And I've been on a year. There's some panellists. I mean, you can't present, but you're lucky to get a fucking word in. You're not just surprised. She don't fucking, she don't take a breath, does she? Well, I love it when Denise and Mariella's on, because I'm like, this is an easy day's pain. I'm not saying anything. Yeah, it's incredible. But yeah, there's some that I still won't clap back to. And I said to them, don't introduce me to Janet for at least six months.

25:04Okay, so what was your first Janet experience? So she went, is this your glam team? I went, yeah. And she went, well, you need them. Even when you go to Tesco? I went, well, no, like, I'm on telly. so I probably will have my grand team. She was like, they're not standing here. And I said, Janet, I'm sorry. They've said they can stand here. They're standing there. And after that, she was really nice to me.

25:26Olivia Attwood:Right, so she hazed me in a similar way. Really? It was my outfit. Now I would have. And by the sounds of it, you did what I did. You've got to play chicken with her. You've got to literally look her straight down the barrel and be like, come on, sister, let's go. And then she kind of respects you a bit more. Yeah. So I think my first show with her, she, I was quite, I used to really overly dress up for Luz in the beginning. I kind of look back now and it's like a bit cringe. It's like, it looked like I was going to a red carpet. It's like, there was a few looks that I was doing too much. I was doing way too much for 11 o 'clock on a, you know, Wednesday morning.

25:58Olivia Attwood:And she was like, are you going to get ready? Or is that what you're wearing? And I think, I can't remember how I worded it, but I was like, I'll get changed only if you promise to or something. But I didn't know her at all. and then she kind of went and then that was so good and then one of the producers Ashley was like yeah that's the way to do it because then she kind of knows where she's at with you and we were fine after that they had to pre-warn me they were like you've got to give it back otherwise she'll just keep like hunting you down what do you mean give it back I've never argued face to face in my life like what do you mean so I was like shaking while being like they're here to stay and then she was fine but I thought that's enough now and also just while GK's here and she's actually said it herself just for the Sun newspaper.

26:43Olivia Attwood:I'm not the only person with a glam team. They write back me all the time saying Monster Olivia is the only person that won't use the in-house glam. I'm like Frankie, GK, Christine. Do you know what else? I'm bringing in my dogs. I'm bringing in my girlfriend. Not anymore, you ain't. Not anymore. Not anymore because there's actually no room. But I'm bringing in my girlfriend. I'm bringing in management. I'm bringing in PR. I just like a good time. You like an entourage. Yeah, I just love it. So, well, we have basically we've moved to new studios for daytime. I was there this morning for this morning.

27:53Olivia Attwood:You've got a job. Rude. We don't have an audience anymore. So I've not done one yet. Is it weird? No, I prefer it more. Is it so quiet? Oh, you prefer it? Yeah, because sometimes I'd make jokes that were obviously too far. A topic would be of the royal family and I'm like, let's go. And some audience members would gasp and it would make me be like... Would it throw you off? Yeah, but I'm saying nothing else. There's no gasps now. It's just silence. So I'm just on a roll. So you will see me in the sun next week. But I just love it. I feel a bit more like it feels more podcasty. Okay. Do you feel like it's more comfort zone for you?

28:34Yeah, whereas for the other women, because they're so used to it, they hate it.

Read the full transcript

28:38Olivia Attwood:And it's quiet. Oh, yeah. You can really hear a pinch. And do you have to, is it true that you have to come on to the set while this morning you're finishing up? Yeah. But be really quiet? Yeah, I just lost, I was like, Ben Shepard and Kat, you're right. And they were just like trying to keep a serious face and you just have to stand there until the camera goes round to you. And I'm like, no one knows right now that we're actually opposite the set. It feels like a little naughty secret. Oh, it's funny. You do radio as well. I mean, Busy Gal, Radio 1. Yeah. You and Ella did Christmas Day. We did, yeah.

29:12How was that? It was so... I love forcing Ella to do things that she isn't really comfortable with. Okay. And I will continue to do so. So I said, we're going on the radio, so get in the car. And you know what? but she went to it like a duck to water. But we have very, we were talking about Christmas Day. We have very different Christmas days. Ella's got a massive family. All mine are dead. So I think, no, may they rest. More inheritance for me. But we have such difference. We were just talking about that. She gets very aggressive at Monopoly. I'm too drunk to know what's going on. So it's a nice balance that we have.

29:52But radio is scary because you have a certain time frame that you've got to fit everything in.

29:57Olivia Attwood:yeah and i can't do you know what that's a really good point of a sudden that i've over the last year with uh the kiss show i do repeat it's keeping it like succinct enough for those gaps for the music but then also not not rushing it it's a it's a it's a bit of an art that's so different to telly and podcast it took me a while to get like comfortable with yeah i didn't get it the way you talk about loose feels a bit more like a podcast there's no audience now i feel like i i my background and what I've been used to doing the last like five six years it everything felt so like lights camera action that on the radio I do feel too much like no one's listening really yeah it feels like sometimes the things that come up my mouth when we then press the song I'm like that was just weird yeah that was just weird like a weird thing to say and like my producer's like yeah I just don't know if that's an Ofcom issue like it's not even like I'm swearing.

30:53Olivia Attwood:It's just like, like brain drivel. I don't know. I can't explain it. I don't feel like I'm... There's also so much you've got to remember that you can't say, you can't speak about alcohol on the radio. Well, that's our personality's gone. Oh my God. I mean, most Sundays me and Pete do the show were still drunk. Yeah. Yeah. Who thought give us a Sunday show? There's so much you can't say and I just think it's not for me. It's really, really PG and it has to be really up. Like you have to kind of keep it really... And I'm a bit more half empty cup kind of girl. I'm a quarter's gone. Like, yeah, I can't be like, welcome back to your radio, guys.

31:30I'm like... On your Sunday afternoon. I don't want to be here. You guys probably don't want to be on your way to wherever you're going listening to the radio. Let's all just match that.

31:41Olivia Attwood:Whenever I was in my car, I want to start listening to different shows because I want to just like hear Styles. One afternoon I was listening to Mark Wright and I just put it on. fucking hell what's this Mark Wright and who's the guy that's Olly Murs what are you knowing it was so like it was so like yeah like you know I was like oh god ours is so depressing because they're both so energetic and like hey guys on your Sunday afternoon get this one while you're grilling the barbie and I was like whoa I was like ours is dark we need to bring more energy in I'd have to actively be on drugs to be at that level and I don't think the BBC would allow that there isn't a Prozac strong enough to get me to Olly Murs a mark right level of happiness.

32:23Olivia Attwood:They're too happy to be there and that's fine for you. They're too happy. It's really like kids TV-y. Could you imagine us doing CBeebies? Bedtime story, go to bed you little ****. Yeah. Mummy wants a drink. This is why your mum drinks. You sanctimonious little arsehole. So I think that's our job off the record now. Thank you.

32:50Olivia Attwood:this episode is brought to you by itv right let's be honest i love a bit of tv anyone shocked don't think so but one thing's for sure tv is better when it makes you feel part of something and that is so itv i love that feeling when you're watching tv and suddenly connected to millions of people who are all tuned in at the same time and that's exactly what itv does take Love Island even now I could be watching it on my own completely sucked into the drama and the next thing you know I'm on the group chat arguing with my friends about who's the strongest couple or who will get dumped it's like you're all in the villa together even if you're watching from different places it's addictive and then there's bad boyfriends obviously I'm all over that literally it's one of those shows that feels real relatable everyone can see a bit of their own relationship drama in the stories we're telling and that's what makes you feel like you're not alone.

33:42Olivia Attwood:Watching someone go through something you've been through while you're at home, it hits home in the best way. And as you can imagine, being with Brad, there's always football on in our house. My favourite has had to be ITV's coverage of the Women's Euros. What an amazing win. That was one of those moments where the whole country is celebrating together. And that's the kind of feeling ITV gives you. You're part of something bigger. That's the thing with ITV. It's got so many shows you can actually connect with whether you want to be part of a national moment keep up with the tv memes in your group chat or just join a catch-up convert work there's no place like itv

34:22Olivia Attwood:most will know you for your podcast saving grace i mean did you ever imagine that it would grow to what it has no i just thought it was maybe a good bit of money for like a year and you i feel like you were quite like early in the podcasting game for the UK. You've been at this like a minute. Yeah, I'm still not Alex L or whatever her fucking name is. So that's great. Did you meet Cooper? Yeah, I did. Yeah. Don't have the same name and be blonde then. It's a bit confusing. Literally the same thing. Please still have me on your podcast. Do you see this clip? I would love to come on. Big funny of work.

34:54Yeah, I love it. I know you are. No, but it was at a time where, yeah, there wasn't many pods about. No. And that's why I was like, this is going to flop. So what we'll do is do like a six month deal, like get the money and we'll go. And then it went really well. And I was like, I have to do this now. So this is my job. But thank God. Yeah. Because I would never have made it on telly or anything because they would never have put a TikToker on telly.

35:18Olivia Attwood:So do you think the evolution from TikToker to podcaster then was a segue into telly? They said that to me. They were like, we will have you on if we can put you as podcast host. We won't say you're a TikToker. And I was like, actually, that's great for me because it's also a little bit embarrassing. my ripe age um so yeah i was very glad about that but yeah they just didn't take tiktoker seriously it's funny isn't i think that's changing a little bit yeah slowly but like you say but i think also at the same time there's being a tiktoker is a skill of course and anyone that thinks it isn't doesn't really get what it takes but doing a podcast is another skill in itself interviewing people prepping for interviews i don't think people actually like this is very easy because we're similar with same sense of humor.

36:00Olivia Attwood:But like, it's not always like that when you get a guest and maybe you don't necessarily gel with them. Like it takes a lot to run a conversation and make it sound liquid. If someone is a yes or no answer, oh my God, I will then turn to drink. If you see me with a big bottle, it's because my guest is difficult. The worst is that when they don't expand on anything. So I'm like to you, well, have you done dry Jan? And you're like, yeah, yeah. How was that for you? Good, good. And it's not their fault, because that's when you have to work and use your interviewing skills. But it feels like a slow death sometimes.

36:37Olivia Attwood:What else, though? I mean, this actually is your... You interview people at your job, so you aren't very good at it. But for me, when people are like, she's just shit interviewing, I'm like, yeah. Like, I didn't... I don't want to fucking do that as a job. Do you know what I mean? I just fell into it. I'm not a journalist. Who do you think I am? Kate Garraway. like I I'm just I'm just there for the vibes and the fun yeah and I love the pay at the end of the like it's great but I don't expect me to do like sometimes they'll be like you didn't press them hard enough and I'm like but also I don't want to it's not BBC like you say it's your show that you create with your guests it's up to you what you want to ask them or don't ask them yeah and if I want to talk about Arse Play I'm going to talk about Arse Play and that's that's my podcast so thank you that was her manager just cackling and that's what we bring to you that's what I bring to you any particular guests that stand out that have been an absolute nightmare do you know what the thing is Olivia I do have ones that stand out I just can't tell you them because I keep bumping into people that I've said them about and they're like oh most boring guest was I and I'm like who said that that is a slump that's wrong it was right I can't tell them that because again no frontal lobe so I just have to lie any favourite guests?

38:03I think Katie Price was incredible and she made my job so easy because she just gives you everything yeah and Rob Beckett was amazing as well

38:11Olivia Attwood:those two were great big Rob Beckett fan I and Katie Price on my pod and the fire alarm went off halfway through we all got evacuated outside the building and she left you were joking I'm not finished. And I love Kate and Kate, if you're watching this and I've worked with Kate on other things as well. She's, she's with her. She's like ADHD. She's like, once she felt that air on her face, she went, I'm going home. I'm going home. I'm late for something else. I'm like, what do you mean? I said, what do you mean? You're late for something else. She's like, no, because I've nabbed it at the time. I've got to go.

38:47Olivia Attwood:Love you in the car. I was like, she's fucking gone. You went to AI the rest of the interview. I'll be with the fucking question. She's down the street. But she's, but I mean, to be fair, she's given so much. I mean, most of it I couldn't fucking use anyway. Yeah. Because I was like, in my old podcast, and you know this in podcasting, it's difficult because like, sometimes people come on and if they really, like say they slander someone for 20 minutes, I'm like, give it to me. Like, I'm loving it. Absolutely. There's a legal thing that that person needs a right to reply. So sometimes you like, you can't put out everything.

39:18Olivia Attwood:And you don't want to be caught in the middle of that. You can't put out everything someone says sometimes or they say things that are just like, so yeah, she gave us loads in the time she was there. Great for you to go back to Brad though and be like, you will never guess. So I do a lot of you will never guess what with Brad and he still thinks I'm a compulsive liar. No. So when I do my documentary Getting Filthy Rich, he'll go, what did you film today? And I'll go, I filmed a guy and this is on my latest series bent over naked in his garden getting booted in the bollocks by a girl with her trainers on.

39:52Olivia Attwood:Long day. And he was like this in the kitchen and he's went, oh Liv, you're not going to be sensible. Let's just not even fucking talk about what you did today. I'm like, that's what I did today. That's what I did today. And he's like, I'm in my fourth series. So I'm like, why would I lie? And he's like, okay. He's like, anything else you want to say? Anything stupid else you want to say? So when I start getting the rushes for her, I go, come. I'm like, this is what I... Does he care about you? About watching that and stuff? Yeah. No, no, not at all. Like, no. I don't know how you do it. Why do you ask me that, though?

40:21Olivia Attwood:Because sometimes not everyone's, like, on the all fours getting kicked in the bollocks. Of course, yeah. I've met male porn stars and stuff who are attractive. And they're like, does Brad get jealous? I'm like, that is, you don't know Brad. Like, he's just glad I'm out of the house. This is my question to you. This was it. This is perfectly tied in. So, Brad. Yes. He gets casted in a film, okay? Okay. He's making his debut. Right. He's like, right, well, I've been casted, but I have to do a sex scene in this. We've got a kiss. There's going to be titty. Are you letting him do that or what? Like, if he is a legit, he's an actor, then yeah.

41:00Famously brothers.

41:02Olivia Attwood:Yeah. A well-known actor. Yeah. I think so. I mean, I think, like, I wouldn't, oh my God, this is so fucked up. I was going to say there's part of me that would get really turned on by it

41:20Olivia Attwood:you've been doing your docs too long I know I'm turning to a voyeurist and the other part of me would be like because one thing that me and him always talk about that I know that he and if I'm honest I would struggle with as well is like strictly because I also just think like I just people who are professional actors probably listen to this and go shut the fuck up but it's like I just think it would be so hard I always be worried about him falling for that person yeah because i think if you spend a lot of time with someone you're naked with them you're touching them like how how do you not end up crossing over i don't know but like maybe people are just more controlled than me and i'm like a dog on heat and i couldn't do that for a job and not start falling in love with anyone but it's like yeah maybe people can just do that as a job like i'm like if i okay not on brad disclaimer but if i was on strictly two things would happen i'd either hate my partner so much yeah like it's awkward and it's toxic and or i end up fucking them there is no middle ground for me like because it's the the argentinian tango i'd probably start to believe i loved them because i do like that it's so passionate isn't it it is quite intense to have a homosexual partner there's no other way i could do it i don't know if I can call for someone because they'd know exactly what kind of press they'd get out of the movie or a hot straight one.

42:39Yeah. But I think if I was into men and they'd partner me, I wouldn't be able to find them attractive if they're doing shit

42:45Olivia Attwood:with their rips. For me? I know, but they're grinding on, yeah, like I wouldn't, if I'm a footballer, I wouldn't fancy a dancer like per se, but I think it's like the bond of it, isn't it? And they spend so, we spend all those hours together alone, like in a dance studio and then you go through like, you know, being up for a vote and it's just like, it's so, You were all so dramatic. Yeah. So that's a... So wait, hold on, let's go back. A yes to Brad then or no? Yeah, I would let him do it, but I would have my concerns. Yeah, I would have to... I would never watch it. No. And they'd have to be fucking clapped.

43:18Olivia Attwood:But wait, are you... You're jealous though. You see, I'm not... I wouldn't say I'm like classically jealous. Really? No. I think me and Ella together... And he's not... No, he's not jealous, but he would not like that. So I just think acting's for none of us then. Brad and I have pushed the parameters of our relationship constantly since we met each other. It's almost like our love language. How far can we take it? Yeah, how far can I push this person until they crack? And then it's kind of like, there's the line. Yeah, just kind of shuffle back over. And, you know, I feel, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I have to say once, like, you know, we'll get onto partners in a minute, but it's like Brad, like, he works in an all-male environment.

44:08Olivia Attwood:Bargain. Any of the girls that you typically see, like, you know, in the backroom team, they're normally like, you know, not, they're kind of. I know what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But then there was still one the other day, like a physio who was like on the more like sort of. You'll never trust a physio. What are you massaging him for? How far does she go up the leg? Yeah. You've never seen her before. But you don't mention you're the female physio. Yeah. You're lucky, though, because not many football players are even out as gay, even if they are gay. So true. So you're safe. Yeah. Me?

44:38Olivia Attwood:That is a hold. It's like a fucking... But hold on, can we... First, let's wrap up. Why did you ask me the question about the acting? Because me and Ella were having a debate. Have you had to be casting? Yeah, actually, I'm doing sexy. Are we going to exclusive? Well, I said I don't think I would mind if it was your job prior. Yeah. But first of all, I'm never watching that film. And secondly, there has to be a minger and you can't fool for them, right? But she was like, there is no way on God's green earth because you will have feelings for them 100%. Why would you not? And I was like, actually, it's quite a good point.

45:09Olivia Attwood:But like with that housemate film, imagine your husband's going to work or wife to touch up Sydney Sweeney. I would get a divorce before they'd even filmed it. Can you actually imagine? Because you know that Glenn, when they filmed anyone but you, he had a wife that had been with him when he had no jobs and then the rumour is they were having it off. I'm just saying, if you're dating an actor or actress, you should use my code for better help because that there is mental strength that I have never, ever, ever known and I will never know. It takes us at an unbelievable level of maturity. Or stupidness, I don't know.

45:47But it's good for you if you can deal with that.

45:49Olivia Attwood:Has that just gone out? Yeah, she's storming off, she's doing a sex scene. Okay, talking of relationships, let's go there. We're both wags. Come on. Come on. Look at us. Look at us. Dishevelled, stressed. So that leads us on quite nicely. I guess we do have a different issue in the changing room. Because a lot of female players are openly gay. They are not making progress on the men's side. No. At all. Do you get worried about Ella? The thing is... Because you are jealous, aren't you? Come on. Come on. She'll have like a new team every year. it's like pretty normal so she'll have a new team every year so what I'll do is I'll pre-look because you know they like do announcements is there anyone there that's blonde if there is they better be straight but then I'll be like married with this and she'll come back from her first day and go any lesbians or see anyone you like just out of interest I'm not jealous I don't care you can fucking like who you like but like do you fancy anyone and she's obviously like you need to shut the fuck up because obviously not but there is that start when you first start a football club that I think oh what lesbian now but actually majority of them are straight so that makes me feel good yeah yeah but there's a healthy mix you can count out at least some of them are not interested and luckily our physio is male because God help me this is what I mean with the men's team with the female physios I'm like also what a job rubbing up footballers legs I should say it being good I think I would learn how to do physio if push came to shove I would learn I want to see you coming on with the physio back coming on leave it with me stretching out I'd be the last one on that pitch they'd be fine by the time I go how is the football community treating you how are you enjoying being a wag lovely but I do think football fans they can get very they get very irate yeah yeah and I just think when you de-pick guys it is a sack of air and I think we should all calm down like when I go to a game I'm going to the bar I'm getting a bottle of Prosecco I towards the end of the 90 minutes my eyes are looking different directions and I'm having an incredible time your eyes on both goals do you know what yeah you can never be too short yeah but I think yeah sometimes the fans can be very irate and sometimes if they're mean to Ella I get me back up obviously I don't say anything but I get me back up they are do you know what and this was when I was like getting back together with Brad and it was post Love Island and doing different shows.

48:27Olivia Attwood:I always used to think if I ever got trolled, I would see the stuff that he got sent and be like, this is nothing. Getting called like, you know, ugly slag is nothing compared to like someone literally messaging going, I hope you break both your legs today at Millwall away. I'm like, they are literally. And it would be at Millwall away. Yeah, they are just like, they are, they're really a different breed. Yeah. the football thing the messages I was getting I was like oh this is so much different to like a normal no it's like football is very important to people it's like their whole life and I've learnt that and I respect it I'm scared but do you know what sometimes I find I saw this comedian the other day say it and it's so true it is a bit gay grown men are walking around with male names on their shirts my god knowing everything about a male player, obsessing over them.

49:21Olivia Attwood:Men's football is the most homoerotic thing ever. Yeah. I literally am watching my husband. Their hands are all over each other. Arse cheeks, arse squeeze when they go on. Kissing each other when they score a goal. Showering together. It's literally... Sometimes when they're really going head to head, I'm just like, just kiss him. I'd like... There's so much tension. You might as well. When they do that, you know, they push their foreheads together and they get all like... I'm like, just lean in. I know you want to. just like I've said that a few times and people I'm so glad certain people look at me and they say I'm really weird and I'm like how do they they're all over each other they kiss each other Brad kisses more men on that 90 minutes than he kisses me in a whole week why are they always touching as well like tackling you don't need to touch it's so touching it's so like sexy yeah sexy okay well why okay there is I do find it quite I do find it sexy obviously that's why I married one what GK do you have three dogs now?

50:21Olivia Attwood:how the fuck last time I saw you you just had the one no I know it's just and I'll get more shaking away in the corner at the celebrity sabotage he was wasn't he hadn't seen the light of day in hours he was like help me and I was like you alright babe it's celebrity sabotage and then your glam team were holding it and he was like mummy yeah actually upon reflection I just shouldn't have taken him to that filming but I just had separation anxiety. How the fuck do you have three? Well, we got Noodle and then as you saw, he was very anxious. Yes. He was an anxious boy. He was a little shaky boy. And he wouldn't eat.

50:55Yes, that's what I remember from, yeah. I was spoon feeding him. Do you remember? Fucking pathetic.

50:59Olivia Attwood:And he was just like sniffing it and going, nah. Yeah, so I thought, well, the dog's going to die. So we need to get another dog. So we got a Korean Maltese called Sherry Baby. What the hell's a Korean Maltese? Just a tiny Maltese. Yeah. and then noodles started eating we thought amazing this is this is where we finish well ella had a dog and unfortunately it did pass away however a baby that looked exactly like the dog no one was buying it for some reason no one was buying it all the rest of the puppies had gone it was the only one that looked exactly like cocoa and we said do you know what to help ella healing we'll have it and actually it's the best behaved dog we've got what type of dog is it chow chow they're all Asian and apparently they're really easy chow chows they're very like independent yeah you have to fight for their love they don't want to like give it to you no I'm earn it I'm like some sort of someone out of your documentary I'm on my hands and knees like hello love me like I'm fully like please love me but they're so easy apart from we have no skirting in our house now because you chewed it all off but apart from that very easy going shits are massive but because that's a bigger dog compared to what you're used to it's a bear yeah my Rottweiler I always share this to people such a funny sentence my Rottweiler is insane shits are so big that I can't use standard poo bags because I'd have to I'd have to snap the log in half to get it in I'm serious it's disgusting at least you pick up your dog's shit so that's good from you you can't leave that behind no it's like like a molehill yeah that would cause crashes You would never, like, you would have to get away with it because someone would trip over it.

52:41Olivia Attwood:It's fucking... It's a bra. It's like, we are big dog people, but it's like my mum had had small dogs for so many years. So when most of them matured and you see that first big dog shit, you're like, oh my God. Yeah. What have I done? The small dogs are like little rabbit shit. Yeah, it's like pebbles. Kimchi, so I'm like, if I hit someone with this... It would kill them. It's like a one punch and dead. Awful. So you are fully, like, you're living together. Yeah. three dogs like you're properly in it now this is like grown-up time yeah i think does it is honeymoon worn off or does how is honeymoon still there i do think honey would you back me on honeymoon still there or no the deafening silence i say it lasted a good time um but i think we're definitely more confident with each other now and we can snap a bit sometimes okay but We've worked our way how we deal with snapping.

53:36Conflict. Yeah. Go into a separate room. Okay. Ten minutes, then I'll go and grovel. Is it normally your fault? Yeah. No, everything is my fault. Yeah, I'm very aware of that, 100%.

53:49Olivia Attwood:In what sense? What would you say your personality differences are between you and Ella? I'm just lazy, just jarring. I take everything personally. um I sometimes just want an argument yeah so I'm like pulling shit out of thin air do you remember what you did in 2016 well guess what I'm gonna bring that up today we didn't even know each other in 2016 but yeah I'll like to just I just love it and that's really bad but also I I don't like arguing I hate arguing but sometimes it can be quite beneficial for the relationship in what sense gives you like a bit of spice yeah passion yeah and i quite like when we're like sorry sorry and oh should we watch traitors then and you've got makeup yeah it's like quite nice i'm like this is this is really lovely because if you get on too well i don't know well i i think there has to be like a line doesn't it because you don't want to spend your whole life arguing but also those couples that are just very neutral about each other i kind of think do you care either way yeah i mean yeah i think you've got surely you've got to argue about something surely even if it's my dress another thing my driving jesus is it bad yeah i just drive like um a 90 year old woman that has cataracts it's so slow but yet so dangerous brad gives me such a hard time if i drive sometimes he'll ask me to drive if he's tired and i'm like i have a girlfriend yeah I mean welcome to the community but then he'll criticise me the whole time so I'll just let you pull over on a hard shoulder and just get out and be like there you go will you yeah like drive because you asked me to drive and now you're just commentating that would create world war would you imagine if I pulled down go on then oh my would it kick off no he'll just calmly we'd be like scrapping on the side of the road there's no way I could ever do that no no fucking way no does it scare you that you could have ended up with a man yeah yeah can I tell you someone in the trenches like awful yeah my whole thing is as well like obviously I should have realised I was gay before because I just didn't like dick like it was it was awful like if someone was like that could have been an indicator give me a blowjob I'd be like like I'd be like no fucking way get me away from that I fucking hate that so yeah so you the penis was like not you see that's i do like them do you seriously yeah i mean like good for you yeah and everything else that's attached to it it's a nightmare yeah because i do i mean i'm sure obviously you and ella argue and whoever you live with you're going to have issues but i the adam and eve thing to me i want to speak to manager because i don't think men and women are meant to live together no like i think brad and i would actually be i have suggested to stuff in her own room.

56:40Olivia Attwood:And he takes it really badly. That's where the line is. But like almost like not even to like sleep separately but like I just yeah we use different bathrooms like we're just not like men's men are just kind of gross. Do you know what's great about living? You are though aren't you? Like you're sweaty and like all your hair and your shit stains and your boxes. I'm like oh I'm like it's just like I'm a girl. Like I like girl things. Living in a house full of girls full of girls there's loads of us no me and Ella Playboy Mansion over there I'm actually a swinger but like she'll say take out the washing and I'll just be like I'll mop the floor or like vice versa we're always doing something and it's like with a man I wouldn't do that and they don't I just don't think I do think this is generalising massively here and Brad gets annoyed when I say stuff like this because he obviously thinks it's offensive but I'm like what he'd be happy living in is very different to what I'd be happy living in.

57:41Olivia Attwood:Yeah. Like he could live in... A slut. I don't want to say he could live in filth, because that just... But like, yeah, the way I like things is... It's different. You're quite like Ella, though. I could probably live in filth, actually. Do you know what? As I said, I knew you could. Yeah, I know. I was like, yeah, 100%. I thought, I physically can't lie to you right now. But you could just live in a pigsty. Yeah, I'll do everything but claim. Yeah. Engagement on the cards? You need to stop asking this question, because Ella... Wait, are you getting hammered with this question? Ella. Welcome to purgatory.

58:10Olivia Attwood:It never stops. Well, do you know what? I'm going to be the one to propose. Okay. Which is going to be a horrific photo for me because my posture is like a shrimp. So me on a knee is going to be fucking disgusting. I can't post it. We're going to have to post the after. But I know I am doing it and I'm happy to do it because I want to do it and I can do it my way. I can know what she likes. I know she's going to do it. But my thing is, I don't want you to know when I'm doing it. Do you know what I mean? People are like, go on, give us a year. So you want to basically tell me right here. Me, next week?

58:47Olivia Attwood:No. She's like, what? Yeah, I want it to be a massive surprise. But also we were having this debate of like, how long do you wait? Yeah. How long did you wait? So it was kind of different. Like we have been on and off for like four years. Love Island in the middle. Nice. And then we got back together. We had a year of just kind of messing each other around. And then we did a clean of like, now we're together, we're going to take this seriously. And then I just went really weird and was like, you've got a year to propose. I just flipped the script and I'm really, I don't know why. I just, I suddenly, like, it wasn't even the getting married.

59:23Olivia Attwood:It was, I just, I think because I, we'd both like dipped in and out of the commitment that I just needed something to feel like, you are serious, serious. Right, okay. And within six, if you listen, within six months I had a ring. Really? Yeah. my thing is is i wanted the jewelry there's engagement while he was on a good salary well of course yeah obviously it's the main thing but i think there's only a few things to look forward to in life engagement marriage and death like that's it and once you've done one that it's like well there's only two more left now and i'm 26 so it's like we can't do it all too quick yeah no and then so you'll get questions that and then you'll then your life will become when you're getting married like what's the wedding where are you gonna do it and then when you've done that it'll be when are you having kids good fucking luck with that question oh it's exhausting like you don't ever feel like you're kind of free of the like the questions and the next one's like when you're gonna die yeah like oh but my friends that have kids go as soon as you've had one they go you can have another oh god it doesn't stop like two minutes ago what do you feel about kids no yeah I don't mean to do it anymore to be honest than that because I'm in a similar position sometimes I feel a bit guilty because you know when we're around my friends and their kids normally it's like normally it's the girl that's holding the baby and going look but he's across the table holding my friend's baby like just like and I'm like yeah I see it it's nice we are in the same relationship that's that Ella loves kids Ella's amazing with kids oh yeah he's so natural what do you fucking speak to them about like nothing Nothing.

1:00:59Ella's nieces and nephews, who I actually do love. But this is how we communicate. I go, slay queen. And they're like, slay. And I'm like, yeah, slay. And that's our conversations.

1:01:11Olivia Attwood:My, I guess I'm saying, my friend's kids I adore, love them, would literally do anything for them. And when they get a bit older, I'm a bit more like, you know, they're cute. Like my Nicole's little girls, they're gorgeous. I don't know if they're funny. It was the babies for me are the worst. and women my age love babies don't feel anything when I see a baby then they'll hand you this thing that they've just made very delicate the most precious thing watch the neck watch the thing I'm like I'm like what if it jumps out of my arms I'm like what if it just like jumps across the restroom I'm the opposite of that give me a baby and it's like aww because they can't speak you know my biggest fear of having kids is when they go to school and all of a sudden one day they come home and they're like mum this tea is junk and I'm like why are you talking like my biggest fear is having a child that speaks like that like a fake roadman child yeah and you're like you go to private school I'm like go beat someone up then go on because you're heaven sorry make a shank yeah prove yourself that's my biggest fear I can't do you get intrusive thoughts yeah I get it really bad and people that don't get them when you share them they think it's really weird Brad and I were on a I first forget about Brad constantly.

1:02:25Olivia Attwood:We were on a rooftop bar once and it had like, it's like there and my bag was there and I was trying to move my bag and he was like, I was like, can I just move my bag? And he was like, why? I was like, because I'm going to throw it off. Because all I could think was getting the handbag and just tossing it off the skyscraper. Once I had it in my head, my hand was like twitching. So I was like, I need to get this bag away from the edge of this balcony because I'm going to launch it. I do that in the car. I'm like, imagine if I just didn't stop right now and just went into the back of it. I would never do it but I'm like that would I always get like if I'm in the back of the cab lean forward and put like gun fingers fucking drive chase that car they'd look and it's just your fingers they'd be like right and then I'm just laughing and then I'd say yeah that would be funny I suppose I do that I always go to it alone what would you do if and she's like what are you going to say like what is going to come out of your mouth I love it though I think it's really entertaining oh okay I'm glad to know I'm not alone with that disorder but I play a little game here this is called straight out of GK or not okay so these are going to be things you've either said from your mouth this is dangerous they've checked this or we just made them up Rosie's got ammo here okay she helped with this yeah I knew straight away shit I think everyone should have a really bad breakup if you're looking a bit clapped yeah 100 % because you just you do get hotter when you're unhappy I don't even get like again because the men thing I clocked that it was because I actually didn't like men but I was never really upset about my male breakup so I'd be like this is just a great opportunity that no one can tell me what to do so I'm just gonna look really good and dye my hair and no one can tell me that they don't like that and that is when you have that glow up that's fair yeah I always look at people I am happy in life so this I have to give up I say this disclaimer I was looking for you know this could be this might come really anti-feminist you know when you see someone and like they've just found their peace they're so happy they put on a bit of way they used to make loads and they'd say a black person's just happy I'm so glad I've never been that happy

1:04:38I'm that person now I sometimes look at pictures of myself and think I hate that I'm so happy

1:04:43Olivia Attwood:I almost feel like you need no because you look like you're on your shit like you you look better now than you ever have. Oh, I beg to do that. That came out like a real backhanded compliment. You were ugly before, but now, no, I think sometimes like when you look back and you think, I was so depressed, but God, I look good. That was my peak and I've lost it. Live fast, eat arse, and in the summer, mow your grass. I don't know if I said mow grass, but I'm set on the eat arse. You didn't say mow your grass. It's a nice like... It's a good rhyme. and I do like a right. I'm going to say maybe I did say that, but I'm unsure about the Mo Grass.

1:05:24It was you. Yeah, of course it was. That's great.

1:05:26Olivia Attwood:I don't think it needs any expansion because it says what it says. I'd dabble. I've dabbled. In a female arse. I'm sorry, I wouldn't ever do it to a man's arse. Are you joking? I don't wash their legs. How much of a suicide mission would you need to be on to lick a man's arse? You'd need to find the arse off first. Oh my God. I'd be knackered. Yeah, it's a forest. my love language is reassurance and uber eats yeah that sounds about right it says it wasn't you but that if the shoe fits it feels on brand the shoe fits every day i'm like ella do you love me she's like yeah i'm like okay i just want to check you ask the question do you ever think your frontal lobe comes through what do you mean by that that's you i say if you had a problem with me right and you came up to me that is my worst nightmare i would physically shrivel up i think and die why and come but if i know i think just no what do you mean like confrontation to me you don't like it oh unless i've had a drink but then i'm like who wants it then but i know i would die in a fight so for me confrontation would only lead to a fight also so say if me and ella are arguing right and she and i know she has said this or said something she'll go go on when did i say that promise you i won't be able to think i my mind's gone blank i can't win and it scares me confrontation scares me what do you say i don't know but it's i think that would surprise people because i think you come across as someone who could have an argument no i would love to do real housewives but i'd be off first season i'd be they would be like yeah they'd be like you're an ass house but it's so right i'm completely right i need to go yeah i'll go actually you stay even though it's my house i've never trusted a man with a podcast mike oh i mean it's true but i don't know if i've said it you didn't okay good but if you had it'd be valid there's way too many male podcasts scary how i do my base for a long day at war yeah i have said that is that invasive makeup yeah i'd be so good in war what do you think your role would be i think i'd be like hype woman i'd be tank in the tank right blast a bit britney let's fucking go yeah across the border yeah and if you know because we'd be going so slow though because i'm a granny driver we wouldn't the war would be finished by the time we get there in my This is elegant and witty for driving too slow.

1:08:06I'm just, say if I'm reversing into a space. Oh, no. Oh, no, that's not right. Let me go forward. What car are you in? A Porsche. Is it small? It's a sports car. Why I have a sports car is beyond me.

1:08:21Olivia Attwood:Do you drive? I know this story. I drive the speed limit. I've never got speeding points. So you bought a sports car, but you don't enjoy speed? I've never put it in Sport Plus. I've never put it in Sport. It's never gone out of third gear. No, I love doing 30. It just sounds good. Oh my God, that is fucking funny. Men will do anything except go to therapy. I don't think I've said that. No, you didn't. That sounds too... I don't know. I know what you mean. Feminist. I am a feminist. Okay. Grace, before I let you leave the clubhouse, we have this little goodbye process. So I would like you to tell me who you think I should have here next in your chair.

1:09:03Olivia Attwood:Who would you like me to refer? Who are you going to refer? Is that actually the question? I'd like to refer the GC. I think she'd be fabulous. Have we not had her, actually? Yeah, I think she'd be quite funny if you can get her. Have you had her on yours? No. She came on one of my tour shows. And how was she? She was phenomenal. She was phenomenal, honestly. So genuinely get her. And please don't quote her to her. She's not like it. I don't know, but I did it a lot. claustrophobic she was like I was like yeah sorry that was like a tick the GC and who should be banned for good I think you probably shouldn't have Max Kadar on because I think he'd really scare you who's that?

1:09:48he's like this wait who is he? does anyone know? he was in lockdown but he's he's an actor? no he's um he who is what is Max Kadar? he is a legend and he's a YouTuber but he is he's been like this and he is what the hell so so funny but I genuinely think you would be really scared and we're quite close with this set and I think you'd be very you would probably turn to drink and I don't want to do that to you so we're trying to rebuild our reputations okay fair do you know what

1:10:27Olivia Attwood:it's been an absolute joy it's been a pleasure it's I hope it's everything everyone hoped it would be. And I can't wait for both of us to be in the cancellation after this podcast and not just me. We'll be in it together. Thank God. And I'll comment on the TikToks for us both. Would you mind? Leave her alone. She's sensitive. She's reading this as we speak. She loves that track scene. Back off! She's not butch. GK Barry, everyone. Thank you.
