I was going to save this for our podcast, but seeing as we're talking about prescription drugs, I went to the chemist the other day, and we've all been a bit under the weather, me and the kids, and I got the kids some cough medicine, right?

3:18Stevie Martin:I've heard of it, yeah. Yeah.

3:19Rosie Ramsey:You said it like cough medicine.

3:22Chris Ramsey:She said it like it was a brand new thing.

3:40Chris Ramsey:I got the kids some cough medicine.

3:41Rosie Ramsey:And the pharmacist said to us, she went, are you sure you want this? I went, yeah, the kids have got a cough. She went, it actually doesn't do anything. It's really just sugar. What? Oh, does it begin with B? Is it that one that's really sweet? So I was really taken aback and I thought, okay. And I went, oh, it's fine though. I'll still have it. I googled. Honey and glycerin. Is it that? It's all of the, so basically, and I googled, does cough syrup do anything? No. Some must. It does not. It said it does nothing. What? It does nothing. Why are we doing it? I don't know. Big farmers. It's a complete scam.

4:24Chris Ramsey:Well, if you buy enough of it, you can make meth.

4:27Stevie Martin:Great. Right. Maybe a bomb as well, but that's irrelevant.

4:43Chris Ramsey:And if you want to do it, you can.

4:44Rosie Ramsey:Or not. But yeah, so it's... So what are you meant to do? it just does nothing it's just but what are you meant to do if you have a cough like hot water and like a honey and lemon drink right but the actual cough syrup and I think now they legally have to say it to you it was so weird do you want this it won't do anything just she literally was like just to let you know this won't do anything did you buy it yes well stupid I was like no it's cough it's cough medicine I'm guessing she's not

You know, how can you, you know, my husband, for anyone who doesn't know just like character stuff and he's a bit of a, he does plays now and he was not a stand-up. So you can't compare.

Chris would never say, oh that's a lovely jacket Stevie. He'd say something just fucking really offensive in a compliment. So carry on with your story.

13:36Chris Ramsey:Yeah. I said, and as soon as it came up my mouth, I realised, and Gamble was dying laughing. I said, I loved your show. I thought it was amazing. I think that reviewer just got the wrong end of the stick.

15:22Rosie Ramsey:I love parent trolls.

15:24Stevie Martin:And she had so many people around her as they all heard it. What made you go up to her? I was so drawn closely. And I was excited to be in the Groucho when she was there.

19:51Rosie Ramsey:Have you bought any multiples of the same outfit yet?

19:54Stevie Martin:No, because it's a Real Madrid top from years ago that now is like 350 quid or something. So if I break that, lose that, then... You're knackered. It's gone. It's going to stink.

20:07Rosie Ramsey:No, I know you're going to wash it. It's going to stink. No, stink. It's going to stink. She was going to say stink. I do wash it quite regularly. I know you wash it, but over so many times. Yeah.

20:16Stevie Martin:It gets to that point where you're like, oh, I'm washing it and it still smells off. Yeah. I honestly smell like incredible whenever I put that on because I'm so worried about that because afterwards people say hi and you give them a hug and then you're like oh god imagine if I yeah no I'm gonna yeah I can't wait to do another show just so I can just wear different tops I have a different stuff

20:35Rosie Ramsey:I do like a uniform though I would like to wear a uniform I'd love to have a uniform every day right what would it be?

20:42Chris Ramsey:Peter Griffin green pants and a white shirt Jason Monson

20:45Rosie Ramsey:wore the same thing every day yeah he did didn't he? yes he does he's got a uniform

20:49Chris Ramsey:I found that very interesting. Same for the tasks, same for the studio. We had exactly the same one the whole time.

20:54Stevie Martin:And every time he does anything, he does it. People came to my tour dressed as him, but I didn't notice because it's such an innocuous outfit.

21:03Rosie Ramsey:Did the mean do? Yeah.

21:04Stevie Martin:There was like a young guy who's like maybe 14, and he had glasses on. It's like, that's just a guy in a shirt and jeans with glasses on.

21:12Chris Ramsey:You're not a vampire. Like a young white guy from Bath.

21:15Stevie Martin:I'm not like, Jason! Like, it's not.

21:17Chris Ramsey:And then the one time you do it, they'll go, who yeah you're wearing a shirt but it is it's good i like that but i mean i sort of have that

21:25Stevie Martin:to an extent like i only really wear black and white ever and that's quite helpful so i'm not like what goes with what yeah but in terms of a uniform yeah i don't have that i do love clothes

21:35Rosie Ramsey:but i did enjoy wearing a uniform yeah just sort of like did you yeah i did even though i never roll the skirts up, do the really

21:44Stevie Martin:small, thick tie? What was that? That was just our

21:47Rosie Ramsey:generation.

21:48Stevie Martin:I know. The bit, the knot, had to be sort of, it's like a chode tie. It had to be wider than it was clothed. So true. I mean, like, this looks cool.

22:01Rosie Ramsey:Were you allowed to wear trousers or did you have to wear a skirt?

22:04Stevie Martin:You could wear trousers but no one did because if you did you were like a lesbian or whatever and everyone was really mean about it.

22:11Rosie Ramsey:We had meetings to try and wear trousers. That's great. Yeah, but it never happened.

22:16Chris Ramsey:Was your school, your respective schools, part of the gigantic controversy that was the trousers with the skirt attached?

22:26Rosie Ramsey:Oh, yes, we did. We didn't.

22:28Chris Ramsey:Absolute fucking hell on in my school.

22:30Rosie Ramsey:What's going on?

22:31Chris Ramsey:Hell on in my school.

22:31Rosie Ramsey:I mean, I used to wear them. What were they called?

22:35Chris Ramsey:Trots. I do believe they were called abominations.

22:38Rosie Ramsey:No, it had a proper name, didn't it?

22:39Chris Ramsey:I can't remember what they're called. But it was literally, yeah. I don't want to sound like I'm sort of a lady in a man's body, pretended to not be, but I think they were from Tammy.

22:49Stevie Martin:Oh, my God, Tammy, yeah. I think you got them from Tammy. Oh, my God. And it was black trousers with the thing with the top.

22:54Chris Ramsey:I remember the headmaster in assembly going like, yeah, and they're banned. You just aren't allowed to wear them. I remember thinking, well, you can pick a skirt. I can pick, why not wear both? I don't understand why not. Really weird.

23:04Rosie Ramsey:I got really upset about a lot of things, didn't I? Do you know what I fainted in Tammy Girl? Right. Did you? Why? I think I was poorly She's too excited Just saying oh my god Too many great deals How many bangles? I actually had a really bad virus To which I think Do you know when you go I was a mental kid Because I think I told my friends I had meningitis

23:28Stevie Martin:I thought everyone had swine flu at uni And I didn't I got tamiflu delivered by someone under the door I just had a cold

23:40Stevie Martin:I don't know why I did it I can't take that back I can't take that back what did you do

23:44Chris Ramsey:just stay in your room and oinked

23:46Stevie Martin:yeah genuinely everyone was like I was like why did I say I just said it once I think I've got swine flu and I was like well I've said it now so I'll roll with it

23:53Chris Ramsey:thank you for that I'll be back in a few days

23:55Rosie Ramsey:you can't laugh about swine flu a lot of people actually do really bad really terrible but I just had a cold yeah I had a really bad cold I was like, I nearly died. Me Nana took us to the sales of Tammy Girl. And it was like the day after I parked in me. And I collapsed. And I split my head open. I had to go to hospital. And then it turned into a Dorothy Perkins. And I got a job. There's just so much going on. And it had the same manageress. and I was like I fainted yeah when I was a kid she was like was that you? she was like at Christmas

24:37Chris Ramsey:I went that was me I had meningitis I mean I had a virus she remembered

24:43Stevie Martin:you thought that fainting and cracking your head open so we have to go to hospital was not enough drama I know I also have meningitis that's what it was there was that thing where everyone would put glasses on them all the time yeah just to check what it was yeah and they'd always disappear and I'd be a bit disappointed

24:58Chris Ramsey:heat rash just a heat rash just a heat rash just a spot

25:02Stevie Martin:Or just your skin, you know. I don't think we do that anymore. Yeah, I've stopped doing that.

25:06Rosie Ramsey:We don't do it with the kids, I don't think. I don't think I've ever done the meningitis glass roll. Interesting. Yeah, I know. And they've had a rash. They've had loads of rashes. God. But like, one, one, one, you know. Yeah. Really good. Right. When you've got little kids, really good. Just to speak to someone and they're like, what's it look like? What happens when you press it? And all this kind of stuff. It's really, very good service, one, one, one.

25:27Chris Ramsey:Well, where was it that time when you had a really bad throat? And she told you to eat crisps.

25:33Rosie Ramsey:Who told us to eat crisps?

25:34Chris Ramsey:Someone told you to eat crisps. Remember? You went to a walk-in centre. You went to a walk-in centre. I just made that up. I mean, I should put a shot. And they said... Can I remember? They said... I think it was Gary Linnicka. It was Gary Linnicka. No, I'm joking. They said, eat crisps and swallow it so it scratches your throat on the way down and gets rid of it all. Remember? Someone said that to you once.

25:56Rosie Ramsey:See, in all my memory, probably. Yeah, and I remember thinking,

25:59Chris Ramsey:get a second opinion because that sounds like absolute fucking tomfoolery.

26:03Stevie Martin:Yeah, and if you're going to do that, use like a sourdough crust. Yeah, this was before sourdough. This was before sourdough wasn't it.

26:09Chris Ramsey:Was that dough? Pipe cream then, yeah. This was, yeah, knickknacks and Doritos.

26:13Rosie Ramsey:Are you not talking about when I ate them, the fish with the little bones and you meant to eat, like...

26:20Chris Ramsey:No, no, no. Not bread for it. No.

26:24Rosie Ramsey:What? What is, what's going on? There's a fish that I love with little bones, but then I read online, when I ate it, I read online, you meant to have loads of bread with it. Just, just,

26:39Stevie Martin:just, just,

26:40Chris Ramsey:just, there's a fish that I love with little bones, and the way she said it, it sounded like the next sentence was going to be, we're raising money so we can have an operation. There's a fish I love very much, close to me eyes, got little bones, and we're raising money, we're trying to risk 250 ,000 pounds we're going to send him to America for a bigger boon operation

27:02Rosie Ramsey:stretch him out and you're not meant to eat the bones no so you can you can fully eat the fish it's a really known one it's like it's not like whitebait it's like whitebait or something no it's not even that it's like a really well known fish oh my god I got it from Marxist in a vacuum packed packet with a star bit of butter and then you put it in the microwave or you boil it and then you eat it. But anyway, yeah, you can eat the bones but you're meant to eat it with like bread so that the bones don't like stab you so they kind of go into the bread and digest in your stomach with the bread. I know, but I didn't know this.

27:44Rosie Ramsey:Extreme fish eating. And I fucking raw dog the full thing and then I was getting, oh, I feel a bit funny. A bit bone-like. Boney. And it was my mum who was like, do you not have any bread? I was getting, no.

27:54Chris Ramsey:I was off because it was like a game of Kaplunk.

27:57Rosie Ramsey:Oh my gosh.

27:58Stevie Martin:Does everyone know this? That you've got sweet bread with small burnt fish? Well, I didn't know. I didn't know it. Do you know this?

28:04Chris Ramsey:No, I didn't know this.

28:05Stevie Martin:Right, okay. I'm trying to work out like how, where this... I'm not eating stuff

28:08Chris Ramsey:with bones in. I'm not eating stuff with bones in. No, I don't want to. I'm not eating stuff with bones in. Forget it. Get it out of my face.

28:14Rosie Ramsey:Is that why you went vegan? Because of that story.

28:18Chris Ramsey:She's just gone vegan. Yes, now. This second.

28:21Stevie Martin:How long have you been vegan? I've not eaten meat since I was like two. Like I remember being like two. I must have been two because it was, you know, like.

28:30Chris Ramsey:You remember being two?

28:31Stevie Martin:Yeah, because there was a little table that I would sit at before my sister was born. And she was born when I was three or two and a half, three. No, three. And she, and I had to have been two to be sat at this table. Right. Also like I was quite low down. Do you know what I mean? Like, because I was two. Right. It's like the sofa did look quite big in this memory. And so my mum served me fish. My mum served me fish. and I remember I remember specifically saying I saw something in the stew and I remember being like is that a fish like flounder in the little mermaid and I saw my mum's face being like yeah and then I like threw a massive belly just could not I'll never know and it's like chicken is chicken they were like yeah I'd like and thankfully I'd never eaten a sausage I've never eaten a sausage in my life or a burger isn't that wild in your entire life because I didn't like when I was little.

29:24Rosie Ramsey:Okay, so, all right. Well, that's, so you're like fully blown because I used to have a friend who was vegetarian, very vegetarian, but pissed. She will... Yeah, down a cheeseburger. I've got a friend

29:35Stevie Martin:who's a vegetarian, but if she sees a really good steak place that only does steak, then she will have a steak at the place. Right, and that's fine though. That's fine. That's been extrapolated to like any meat. Like, well, if that's known for that meat, then I'll have it there. I get that because that's like good quality meat. But I, yeah, I don't eat meat like I just don't but I did eat dairy up until I was like like 2015 was when I realised I couldn't have dairy so it was like well I might as well just be vegan then because it's just easier I do eat eggs when they're from a farm and I mean like not from the shop as in like there's a farm around the corner from where I live and then when I'm pissed I have mayonnaise good for you I treat myself good for you oh my god

30:16Chris Ramsey:wild party animal you are

30:18Stevie Martin:tiny bit of mayonnaise tiny bit do you love it though I love mayonnaise

30:22Chris Ramsey:when you put it on

30:24Stevie Martin:sometimes well there was a period of time that was quite dark that was stirring it tell us into kidney beans I'm just eating out you did this on off menu I know yeah I didn't do it but I spoke of it I spoke of it I've stopped doing that now were they warm or cold cold just drain them a bit and then like put it in and then a bit of tomato sauce and then you've got yourself a thousand dollar dressing with protein bean marie Oh my God. I would have ate that.

30:52Rosie Ramsey:Yeah. I would have ate that. It's actually done.

30:53Stevie Martin:When you're drunk, it's quite nice. But...

30:55Rosie Ramsey:I love kidney beans.

30:56Stevie Martin:But they're hard when they're in the tin.

30:58Rosie Ramsey:Yeah, I don't mind. Oh, fuck no. I've got crunch. Oh, no. You've got to... Do you know, I bought jarred, like, butter beans. Butter beans are excellent. Oh my God, they're delicious. They're mealy. They're so like... Well, you wouldn't have liked this. I put them in a sausage stew. I put them in a sausage. Split the sausage down, put them in the sausage. Put them in a sausage stew. That's fine. So my opinion on veganism and all that, I actually think, great, do it. But I think you shouldn't, like, it ends up becoming sort of like, how can I word this? I think if you want to have a day where you don't, that's absolutely fine.

31:36Rosie Ramsey:I agree. Do you know what I mean? I don't think people should go, I am this and I can't ever, ever. You just completely disagree.

31:41Chris Ramsey:I think you've picked your side. And I think any vegan eating meat should be immediately arrested.

31:45Stevie Martin:Okay, no. I'm totally kidding.

31:48Chris Ramsey:It's true.

31:49Stevie Martin:I think, yeah, a lot of people, because me and Lou Sanders have got this Instagram thing called Vegans in Your Regions and we just do stupid vegan content and it's just really silly. And we do get lots of people being like, sorry, sometimes I do eat meat, I'm really sorry. But I just, you're like, that's fine. Although Lou's like, that's not okay. And I'm okay, fine. There's a really good, like vegan cheddar. Vegan cheddar's really hard to get right. So they haven't really nailed that apart from Cathedral City have nailed it. I don't know if I can say a brand on here, but. See as many brands as you want.

32:17Stevie Martin:Great. That's all I can think of. Cathedral City that's it and they do a really good vegan one but Lou doesn't like it and doesn't think we should promote it because they also do normal cheese but I'm like come on she just hates

32:30Rosie Ramsey:she just hates animals

32:32Stevie Martin:she's allergic to cruelty as she says because I am allergic to dairy so that's a big part of it right but yeah I know what you mean like live and let live

32:41Rosie Ramsey:tell Lou even though we do eat meat we now go to the butchers

32:46Stevie Martin:I don't think that's relevant okay I just want to know

32:51Rosie Ramsey:that it's ethically sourced

32:53Stevie Martin:yeah I don't think yeah well I'm not upset but I don't know if I think butchers is quite intense I would say the thing that unites most people that don't eat meat is they don't like the concept of butchers don't worry

33:09Rosie Ramsey:tell her how much I was seeing that butter beans are nice butter beans are nice I'm trying to make friends I really like Lou she's really great and I just yeah because when you're the thing that people get so upset about yeah and the thing that we do every day it's not you you don't want to be but I love meat she's not upset about people

33:28Stevie Martin:that eat meat like I think it's just like you know and I'm not either I'm very aware that society's not going to get there and it's also it's hard and it's fine and I get that thing of like eating good quality meat rather than you know yes I don't know whether it's in supermarkets or whatever but it's very funny to try to make friends with a vegan by being like I've gone to the butchers like okay

33:49Chris Ramsey:I hope you're impressed by the fact that I've gone to that place where all of the parts of the slaughtered animals are kept cold. I've gone there and I've looked through the glass and I've selected the bit of the animal that I wanted and then I've went home and then I've cooked that dead animal and then I've ate it. Lou, why are you walking away? Lou, come back.

34:09Rosie Ramsey:I've put a butterbeet and a sausage. It had a lovely life. It was on the farm. It wasn't cooked. But do we even know that? We just can't ever know. You're never going to know, are you? We're never going to know. If you're sad or happy or whatever. And we can't and we mustn't.

34:22Stevie Martin:I like to think they're all really happy and that's not true. No, I know. Anyway.

35:49Rosie Ramsey:Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo. Listen, you've got questions. I've got a question. Is that you're going to read out first?

35:54Chris Ramsey:Well, a story. There are never questions these days.

35:56Stevie Martin:There might be a question. Okay.

35:58Rosie Ramsey:I really like your hair, that colour, you know.

36:00Stevie Martin:I'm honestly thrilled. And also I noticed it made me sit like this more. Do you know what? You look richer. This is wild. So all these things though, you could say that you're saying that blondes, so you're saying blonde people are thick. poor and maybe it just really suits you

36:17Rosie Ramsey:it's really nice sophisticated I think when you go

36:20Stevie Martin:to your actual colour I think it does always suit you because why would it not

36:24Rosie Ramsey:I went dark I went back to my natural colour I was so depressed I couldn't look in the mirror yeah that was bad

36:31Stevie Martin:I bet you looked nice but you must have felt that's coming from you didn't it you didn't like it you really do see blonde so it's a good vibe for you hi Chris and Rosie hi please keep me anonymous okay me and my partner I was going to just come up with a name that's a first name and a last name then but I'm not going to do that me and my partner had found out I was pregnant and was so excited to tell our friends and family we invited his mum and dad over to tell them the good news they were sitting side by side on our sofa and I handed my father-in-law a gift bag with a baby grow inside so his mouth fell wide open when he opened it and my mother-in-law burst into happy tears however what happened next was not how i had pictured this magical moment in my mind my father-in-law was in a state of shock very excited of course but clearly quite overwhelmed so overwhelmed in fact that as i bent over to give my mother-in-law a big hug she was still sitting on the sofa my father-in-law who clearly didn't know what to do with himself proceeded to guess as in you guess he didn't guess i know what he's done what's he done he's punched he slapped

37:37Chris Ramsey:her on the arse. He's so excited he slapped her on the arse. Who's he slapped on the arse? He slapped his daughter-in-law on the arse. God and love, he's slapped her on the arse, am I right? Yeah.

37:47Rosie Ramsey:Why did you guess them? Have you not met you?

37:49Stevie Martin:That's concerning. Oh my god. No, but that means that you would, why did you go there?

37:55Chris Ramsey:Because in my head, I quickly put myself in his shoes and I quickly thought as we were talking about earlier, being mortified about something you've done and thinking about it later on I quickly put myself in his shoes and thought what would be the most mortifying thing. I went to the most mortifying Shut yourself. No, no, I thought the most mortifying was as she bent over I went, hey! But that and that one went, that was a tits. But then I thought, no, he's going to slap her on the arse. And that is like, yeah that is mortifying. That is absolutely mortifying. That is bad.

38:26Stevie Martin:My father-in-law, who clearly didn't know what to do with himself, proceeded to land a great big slap of his hand across my arse while exclaiming, Jesus Christ! That's for the bin. It's really good. I got spanked by my father-in-law. I was so surprised that I couldn't even react, so I chose not to acknowledge it. Oh, my God. Ignore it. It's even worse. Until later when they'd left and I told my partner, we found it hilarious and put it down to a state of overwhelm. I've never brought it up with him since. That's brilliant. For context, I must say this, my in-laws are wonderful and I bloody love them.

38:59Stevie Martin:Oh, well, there you go. That's fantastic. She should wait until he tells her anything and then slap him on the arse. Or cup his balls. Oh my God, yes.

39:09Rosie Ramsey:Yes. Yeah. Good Lord! I've got a promotion at work.

39:13Stevie Martin:Way! Get in!

39:16Chris Ramsey:Amazing. Amazing.

39:17Stevie Martin:You've been spanked by Father-in-law. Not recently, no. That's good. I don't know that I remember. That's nice. Yes, you would remember.

39:25Rosie Ramsey:Thank you so much. Thank you for coming on. Thank you. We'll do all of your promotion stuff at the beginning. Of course, yeah. But I've seen your show and it was absolutely fantastic. Oh yes, you have seen it. So you can speak from the heart. So now I can actually be real and honest about it and tell you all to go sing it. So thank you so much. Thank you. I'm sweating, I've laughed so much. Lovely chatting with you. That was so funny.

39:46Rosie Ramsey:Yeah, oh yeah, fully. Cut myself off. She's gone, she's gone.
