In short
The episode is a mix of post-gig hangover banter, music-industry venting, and relationship/agony-aunt advice, with a recurring theme of whether motivation comes from fear or love. Guests are Sue and Louise (podcast hosts), plus Bill (mentioned as a studio/house presence), and Sophie (appears in the conversation). Sue is a singer/performer with a new record/management deal; she launched single “Hit Me Now” at Avalon Cafe in South Bermondsey (near Millwall Stadium/The Den) with her band (including guitarist James and drummer Dan).
Key claims
technical failures (drum click stopping, sound desk issues, backlighting from Avalon) shouldn’t derail the show; spite and fear drive creativity and ambition; queer people may share more openly due to self-interrogation and community dynamics.
Notable examples
the “Green Street” feeling during the walk to the venue; the “Bluetooth keyboard disconnected” analogy for filling time during technical downtime; reacting to Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell clip; Charlie XCX/George Daniel wedding chatter; and advice to a listener about setting boundaries with a flirtatious bisexual friend who crosses/denies a taxi boundary.

Well, I hung over. However, I think it's just mommy's first hangover because I was, don't know if anyone knew this but I was sober for like nine days okay 12 days apart from that one glass of chilled red you had oh you grass you grass alright fine I was sober for like three days because I did have a glass of chilled red because the bottle was open and that wasn't my fault oh hello Sophie and resuming drinking hasn't quite been the do you just want to fucking squeeze them yeah I want to squeeze your ribs off crush them yeah I also have that with lovers where you just want to like and bite them.
1:10But yeah, feeling a bit peaky blind, I've got a headache. What was happening last night? Oh, I'm so glad you asked. I had a gig last night. It was the first of hopefully many shows under my new record deal, management deal. And it was like the launch of my new single Hit Me Now, which is out today. Obviously when this comes out, it'll be out a week maybe. Yeah, it's all bloody good The show was a resounding success Thank you, thank you for coming Sue sung her heart out I did, there was a few technical issues Yeah, Avalon Cafe for those that aren't familiar is in the depths of South Bermondsey It really is a depth as well I love it You're right by Millwall Stadium, The Den You're right by some weird factories And you're by MOT You buy MOT For those that know It's London's answer to Berlin Hell Yeah we were there There were people to blame Yeah There were people For the technical issues For the technical issues Yes However I don't think that There's a point blaming anybody However My beautiful band played well Big Soft played well Yeah Unfortunately due to technical issues The fucking Click click for the drum stopped mid-set and so my gorgeous dan had to who's on drums had to um make up for it and then it was just a horrible kind of like accumulation of lack of care from certain individuals you can't do their job properly not dan or my band just people ponder sound desk no offense to that no offense to that person but what i've learned is actually in those moments bill was actually talked about it yesterday and i agree with him i should be more of a diva i'd be like you look we will pay you please just leave the sound desk no shade yeah because i think not to like mansplain or anything but like everyone there that was in that room is a producer or a musician for a long period of time like just oh it was a it's it's annoyed me now because i was I didn't hold my own I should have like it was my night well I think externally you did externally I did but before I think I could have been more clear the minute we started Soundtrack and I was like this is going to be a shit show I don't know how it's going to be a shit show I didn't realise it would be the the click from the drums that would go but shit show and like James this morning my beautiful guitarist he messaged me he was like after the gig like there was so he looked behind like the desk and like so many things like why like it was a fucking mess basically technically the night itself resounding success and like there was free merchandise like a lot of people came down like yeah and not that the show was bad anyway because the show was amazing and like we smashed it and i feel really really honored and blessed and i think people were entertained it was just like there was like a five minute interval where they're trying to get this click going and louis got up on stage You just chatting absolute there.
4:22I did a bit. I did a gag about the footpath from Surrey Quays being closed, having to walk past the den. I felt like I was in a Geezer film. Yeah, you felt like I was on Green Street. I felt like I was on Green Street, which is actually the wrong football film because that's about West Ham. Oh, is it? I'm sure many of our listeners are huge fans of those films. Yeah. But I said to you last night, I feel like you could do a gig to five people that you've never met with no backing track or no band and it would still be good. Well, I think that was a thank you. But it felt like that. Like it was like, that was my feeling.
5:02I was like, even if it goes tits up, like I'd literally, essentially what was happening during the sound check was like feedback from the mic. And I was like, do you know what? Genuinely, I would just put the mic fucking down if it starts feedback and during the set and just sing. I got there and Sue's manager, who is brilliant, the best, was like, yeah, we had a few hiccups. Sue's currently gone back to hers to get a lamp. Because we did set design. Yeah. And then they did that. Yeah, we did set design. The team got a set design sorted, which was amazing. And it was actually really fierce. however we put up a curtain and it turns out Avalon Cafe does backlighting not front fucking lighting it was giving because everybody that plays at Avalon Cafe doesn't want to be seen that would be the last time I actually would my chest that would be the last time I play at Avalon Cafe we're levelling up it's a great place it's a great venue it's a great place I've sold it a couple times but like it's that thing it's like I'm ready for it to be a thing of the past it's a DIY spot no shade all the staff that work there are lovely I've been DIY for too many years yeah exactly I think it's not that Get Me To A Mirror Yeah Ooh Scala Alternet Ooh Alternet That would be cool O To Islington Okay See you in October But what So I feel like To paint the picture For people who weren't there Paint There was like Stop Please Yeah there was like Five to seven minutes Between a song of just like we don't know what we're doing and sue just had to fill time it was like it was like it was like stand up it literally was and you were doing great but the crowd you were like just asking the crowd questions and like getting not much back i was like come on guys so then i asked you i was like okay i need to i need to feed sue something here yeah so then i said what keeps you up at night and i feel like that maybe wasn't the best question to ask What did I say?
7:04Straight emo? Yeah. But what, I feel like that is a lot of people's absolute worst nightmare. Like, technical difficulties, performing, what's going through your head when you're in that situation and you're like, okay, shit, we just got to keep it rolling. I think it's the thing of like, I don't mind doing it when I have something to talk about. If someone gives me a topic, I'll talk for days. But when it's just kind of like, we're all just waiting and always giving me a topic, I was like, girl, I don't know. like but it was fine you came up you saved me then we had a giggle for our listeners it's maybe like when you're doing like a powerpoint presentation and like the bluetooth keyboard is disconnected or something and you just got to tell them what maybe that's like an analogy that would make sense for people like who obviously aren't you know performers or do you know i really love what this yeah it's the fact that like when we started doing this this didn't happen and it's like we turn on the camera genuinely and then she'll just come down well yeah and the podcast has massively fallen off but we just have a cat now so it's still good are we falling off chat?
8:05we're just not posting enough clips but we're going to be back and we're not nurturing our patrons enough but we're going to do it we have by the time this is out a Q &A episode will be on our Patreon which involves questions exclusively asked by our patrons for our patrons patrons? whatever and it's going to be great yeah it is so in in other happenings this week Sue I think yeah Ozzy Osbourne passed away died but do you know who was born Aquaman okay Trisha Paytas always at the forefront of culture she's about Aquaman she's amazing and she's had four three kids three kids Malibu the other one an Aquaman who's the father do we know anything about him yeah she does vlogs him he's called he's lovely he's a I think he's a furniture designer oh wow interior designer I think he's called Moses Moses supposes his toes are roses never but were you a big fan of the Osbournes I feel like it was a bit before our time Yeah, like I wasn't Love though And it's a shame I have a clip It's weird because it's like though He was like 70 I don't think 70 Like 80s when you die And he did a show 16 days ago A farewell show as well And He really said I'm gone And his parting gift Was a guest appearance From Youngblood That's Pete But I A really great Ozzy Osbourne clip came up on my feed and I just want you to react to it.
9:58What's it like being a living legend? Kids out there think you get a guitar, you make a hit record, you make millions of dollars and you just live happily ever after. It isn't that way at all. It's like very hard work, very hard break. You get your rewards and things, you do get a lot of things like gold, these platinum, these cars, houses, and then you've got things like divorces, management ripoffs, fatigue, drugs, alcohol, you know, hangovers. You've got to go on the next one. You've been up with all my burning. He looks dreadful on that. No offence to know his dad. It's good to be back on stage again.
10:31You know, you're feeling like crack inside. I very often ask them, what do they think That's a nice kettle. If I wasn't rock and roll. He's in some gorgeous Los Angeles house. Why is that? I just wanted, I didn't want to get a regular job. I couldn't conform to any system. I didn't want to get a job at a... I had several jobs in factories and, you know, different jobs. But rock and roll has got this sort of outlawish thing with it. You can do what you want and you don't have to get up and lift up some big, fat, baldy old fart telling you to take this box and stick it over there. So tell me about what happened when all of a sudden you got rich and you could buy everything you wanted.
11:09Well, what happened? It didn't work out exactly. It's making bacon and eggs. No, really. And it looks fucking rank. We went out and bought trash cars and everything. Looks like my mum. Don't be rude to your mum He looks good He doesn't look good, babe He looks absolutely harrowing He looks like he's dead there
11:35Oh, turn it off I'm out of it in general. I'm basically having a good time. You know what the funnest is? Because it's always suddenly realised one day, hey, we must be earning a lot more than this guy's actually giving us. So it's not all a pretty story. It's hard bloody work and you've got to be a businessman. And I'm not a businessman, you know. You know, I'm very fortunate to this day. My wife is my manager. She knows the business, but I... Shout out, Sharon, Sharon. I don't want to know it either. We came to America and we thought... Oh, it's a shame he's dead though, isn't it? Bacon's getting no colour.
12:08Apparently they had a suicide pact. Yeah.
12:15Proper rock and roll. Is there a conclusion to this? Can't remember. Okay. We'll do the whole thing. Two minutes 53. That'll fill some time. We can cut it if it's boring. It's inevitable. Disaster. It's like drugs. They were okay at the time. We had grudum, you know. We just, you know, we took LSD, we took cocaine, we took vast amounts of marijuana. Oh! Spilling his orange juice everywhere. Why would he do that? So you have a more stable life now? No. He's in a leopard print dressing gown. He looks frazzled. And I wanted to show you that because I think that's us after five minutes of micro fame.
13:00That's me after the show, yeah. You know, people think fame is like... Very heartbreaking. You get your rewards. I'm getting married. This is us. You do get a lot of things like gold, platinum discs, cars. I'd love a platinum disc. Then you've got things like divorces, management reports. I don't want a divorce. I do want to get married, though. You know, hangovers. You've got to go on the next one. You've been up with... This is us complaining about podcasting. Yeah. Honestly. But, like, don't you think he would have been so great with TikTok? Yeah. All these fucking musicians complaining about, oh, these artists didn't need to fucking make TikToks.
13:33they didn't need to have a personality, they just needed to make music. No. It's a shame he's dead though. Personality's always helped. And rest in peace Ozzy Osborne. For real. And welcome to the world, Aquaman. More importantly.
13:49I actually haven't heard any topics. We are fully living off Louise's. Yeah. I've really come in. I brought a weird mix this week. In other news, we haven't spoke about Charlie XCX and George Daniel getting married yet. Oh my God, yeah.

It is your gig tonight, but I'm not going to come. No, that's a new song. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Such a banger. I'd be hanging out shades and straight diva crop tops.
20:38Everyone, everyone has to put on a crop top. Yeah. For the dance.
20:45And people would be eating. Can you tell? I'm really dying. Yeah. But it's all part of the bed. What do they talk about? They don't really talk about anything. I know. It was meant to be about, like, straightness and queerness, but it's actually... Yeah, we should talk about that. What should we talk about it? I don't know. Have you ever douched? Never douched, no. Right, that's it. We've done it. Is there anything you, like, don't understand about straight people that you really, like, want to know? No. Not really.
21:19Do you know Du Bois? genuinely straight men, do they know what they're doing when they abuse women? Wow. Do you know what I mean? Do you know when you're being a bell sniff? Do you know that you're doing that? Bell sniff? Do you know that you're doing that? Do you know what I mean? Sorry, it's not funny. I mean, you shouldn't have said bell sniff when you asked such a serious question. But do you know when boys manipulate women? Do you get taught that? Or are all the boys like, look, I've got her like a dickhead? I'm going to be real with you too. I don't knowingly have any male friends who are abusers okay but if I had to tap into the darker parts of my male psyche do they know yeah I would say yes I would say they just put their feelings above that's horrid but you know look am I reinforcing the patriarchy?
22:18maybe maybe am I aware of it yes so it's fine okay fair good for you girl yeah as long as you're aware of something yeah it's fine you know my dad was in the KGB my dad you know works for the home office and deported loads of immigrants KGB were the secret police in the Soviet Republic your dad didn't work for the home office did he no my dad worked for universal music yeah he did But no, as long as you're aware of your kind of flaws or privilege it's fine and then you can just keep being privileged I think, or an abuser in this case So that's how straight culture works We're only joking about this because I was abused when I was 32 years old I'm really sorry I survived it didn't I What do I want to know about queer lifestyle?
23:10How do How do people How are the gays so good at fucking and staying friends? I don't know Because you've never done that I don't know You've done it a little bit I've done it a little bit
23:28Why is it so much more common? Because I think gays are so petrified of a commitment Because they don't love themselves Wow I was going to go for a different theory Okay Which is that the community is smaller Yeah So it's like you've got less places to run to. It's two things. It's like I think either gays don't love themselves or the opposite end of things where they like say that like they're creating a new type of love because it's queer love and it's like completely different from regular love, which is an extra sexual love, which is like, you know, you stay with one person and that be the thing.
24:03But I think it's like two things. I think it can be that. But then when people say that, you usually find out that they're incredibly damaged people from their upbringing. in and then you kind of realize that they're fucking for validation and also because they're broken so okay it's a task yeah but i think that's the hardest thing i think especially a lot of my queer friends especially on like on dating apps popular dating apps i'm not going to name names anymore because i'm not sponsoring us um but on popular dating apps like they find it hard to like differentiate whether somebody is being like it's starting to rain uh oh quite heavy actually and we will resume this yeah in a second immediately sorry about that ladies and gentlemen where were we?
24:46talking about straight people no we were talking about how gays oh yeah don't love themselves but I think it's a toss up of both we've had to move inside because it's raining yeah but isn't this nice no shout out Bill honestly for the listeners we're in Bill's kitchen we've got some beautiful kind of non-descript art is that a vinyl? yeah sorry Bill, Jesus okay another question about gays yeah and correct me if I'm wrong but I think the gays are vile? yes, took the words right out my mouth no
25:35So much more comfortable And I say this as someone who is probably an oversharer myself Yeah So much more comfortable sharing Not even trauma necessarily But just like
25:49Like Dom for example Yeah, lovely Dom We We only met last night Got the train back together Kissed Kissed um uh but no we we were just speaking about dating yeah dating history but we just immediately got into it yeah and i don't know if that's a me thing but i also think i recognize it in a lot of gay people or queer people which is like um just a much stronger willingness to share like maybe what straight square people would just like as like why would you want to talk about that yeah yeah i think but then i think that's like to do with like knowing yourself kind of or at least so so the gays know themselves better well yeah because i don't think you choose to be gay it's the same like trans women like you wouldn't why would you choose this life for yourself so i think you have to know yourself because it's like you actively have to know that you're you have much more self-interrogation yeah like you're definitely that way to ensure that like if you're going to do this thing in which you could lose friends over family over you have to know yourself a bit more in my opinion great answer thanks that was beautiful spell discombobulated d i s c o m b u that's wrong discombob b o b u l a t discombobulated iridocycletus
27:30um so i think are you more motivated by fear or love um spite no this is my thing i'll speak to bailey who was writing my bio for my new single hit me then absolute goat uh absolute legend and i've known bailey online since i was like what 15 but like he was like what is the thing that keeps you going on and it's spite i think there's just this thing is like when i feel like people are like doubting me it makes me furious and spiteful and that is the only thing kind of what i'm realizing now is what like gaining everything i've ever wanted um and at the start of that journey of gaining everything i ever want like um i'm kind of like oh actually i don't have to be spiteful anymore but then who am i when I'm not full of spite don't know what about you I think fear I think fear of being old and regretting fear of like you're a Greta I don't fear of fear of being a pussy like with music like a lot of it like I love making music but So a lot of it, it's like, and I have to remind myself to enjoy it sometimes.
28:48And because I do enjoy it, but like you get so lost up in all the other stuff that, yeah. But I also think it's a great motivator because I'm like, oh, I really need to do this. Otherwise, I'm going to, I'm going to hate myself. For sure. I don't want to, actually, I do kind of want to perform like low key. Get it on. but no i think it's fear it's fear of being i sound like a fucking straight man i am one fear of being average i was gonna say yeah but you're not average well no of course not but only because i try so hard i'm trying so hard all the time i know it's exhausting knowing it do you find love motivating at all yeah but i have this thing i don't know if i said it before and i probably shouldn't have it but there's a song by katie gregson mccly where it's like love me too well i'll retire early but i'm like once i'm in love i'm just like like you put me on like pyramid stage of glass of rain of like where would you rather be it's like probably in bed with my wife okay but then i think that but then then like it kicks in then i'm like because as women we're taught that that's your most important thing and then i'm like no nurturing no do you know i mean i meant the most important thing yeah even though i love love so much but mmm yeah I feel like as much as I love love yeah I love money it's almost the antithesis of like motivation in a great way well I like stops motivation yeah like if I'm loved up like I can't I'm way yes productive yeah for sure which is I don't know though if you with somebody who can be as such a foundation for you yeah I feel very motivated by money and also there isn't love in like the literal sense of being in love there's like positive reinforcement like someone you love saying that they really liked your song yeah but i still think there's no motivator like fear or spite i do agree with you who are you proving wrong who is i don't really know honestly like like everyone's like my maths teacher when i was like 16 said i would never amount to anything it's like girl not there do they care i think it's just i think it's like a general thing of like just proving i could do it right i'll go and get a record to did that and then now i've done it i'm like oh actually no one cares yeah and it's completely arbitrary yeah so what isn't arbitrary why do you do it because you're trying to stack up all these m's yeah i think because i'm good at it yeah i know that it's like the only thing that i'm really good at do you what about you why do i do it yeah uh i think it's partly ego related yeah again it's like proving proving to myself that i can do something but i think the more i think i've said this on the before the more positive uh artistic answer is that i love the feeling of when a song is coming together i get my dick sucked i mean true it's i love the feeling of head in my own there are parallels for sure i mean basically at the end of the day sue we're trying to escape our conscious right we're trying to forget that we exist for a second and yeah head and uh like a great idea coming together and it's just flowing out of you and i mean just like the semen is flowing out of you um and sometimes it's stunted sometimes you know you have to work for it sometimes you do have to focus a little bit yeah but i just want you to focus on my love focus focus i just want you to focus on my life it's been a while since i used uh like head as an analogy for something It's good to have it back I nearly cried it was so beautiful

Ever. I've got too, I'm too anxious. That's the one good thing about me. I don't think that's how it works. I've genuinely never been constipated. I'm not even kidding. I don't think I've ever had it. I've never had a hemorrhoid or constipation. I would say I'm living proof of anxiety and constipation coexisting.

36:25And that's one of the most interesting things about me, actually. No. And you never would guess it. I would never have guessed that. But no, I've been constipated. I haven't. And it's ultimately, I guess it's like my mood, you know. it's like it's either fucking 100 or zero and it either just flows through me like a river or i'm just fucking so blocked up that i can't really show how i feel do you know when you get those moments where it just like hits you just like this is dumb this is so dumb like do you know we need a holiday but we haven't posted any clips and there's nothing on the patreon Help us Like what Like we are that stereotype of like Just idiots with microphones The TikTok comments were right Oh we're at 45 minutes Minus 5 for rain Rain stopped play It's been there before chaps am I right Do you want an agony out I want an agony out Fucking save me Are you ready Bitter fun We love it I have a friend I'm openly flirting with and it's always playful and harmless one night in a taxi he put his hand on my thigh and it was going up my leg so I pushed his face away playfully a few weeks later knowing I'd been a good date he joked about being jealous he's recently started seeing someone new but when he was single he'd shy away from his bisexuality acting less like a little gay boy the closer we got however when we first met he couldn't wait to tell me he'd slept with guys after one whirlwind date and one lame one my new fella says he doesn't see things going further romantically but rather just casually to which i respond no hard feelings but this is a boner kill my flirty bi friend heard about this and invited me to the pub cheer me up we were sitting on a sofa flirting like usual but nothing too much after a couple of pints i had my knee resting on his leg and he said i should come meet his parents that weekend with his new girl we joked it'd be like challenges but then it started getting serious about the invite i said it wouldn't be appropriate considering the taxi incident after a couple of pints i had my oh sorry he laughed and asked what happened in the taxi when i pressed him he remembered everything before and after the taxi except that moment how convenient he apologized said he crossed the boundary but still found it funny i got annoyed and called him out for lying feeling that he was trying to weasel out of with uh out with plausible deniability 100 it's obviously harmless now and i mostly find it's funny but i know i need to set boundaries it sounds silly but I really do trust myself to hang out with him one-on-one.
38:59I really don't trust myself to hang out with him one-on-one. Whenever he messages, I drop over for him. It feels like a high. I've taken space before, but as soon as he texts one of your three, I'm running out of the door to meet him like a bag. You wrote in that so beautifully. That was so easy to read. Really gorgeous writing. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. Head. Your knees. Yeah. You must have nice knees, girl. Yeah. Honestly. Okay. So First things first This guy sounds like trouble Yeah I don't think it's strange That you Don't want to hang out with him One on one I don't think he's Bad I just think No he sounds He sounds like a nice person It's just like Actively like Bad news maybe That high that you get Is not good news That's fear I've been down this road before And then Because you know you're going to get hurt It's masochism And then what was the other love story That was happening Oh and he went on a shit date With um Okay Well let's look at the sunny side it sounds like you're fucking like you're you know your stuff's happening but then the fact that he's like denying that they did things is p yeah it's bad news i don't know i feel like i feel for you because you're saying it sounds strange to say but i can't see myself hanging out with him one-on-one that's not strange at all yeah this guy he sounds charming he sounds like he he's funny he's charming but he fucking yeah he's doing you said it yourself plausible deniability yeah he remembered what happened in the cab okay let's be real where were you in 9-11 but you know yeah don't beat yourself up for that yeah babe just drop it off and you live and you learn and hey this week might have been an elbert next week we bounce back and get that dub on my red shirt we get a D oh um oh stiff wear stiff wear stiff wear I thought you said do you know that TikTok no I thought you were doing an American Pie reference stiff wear she got the barb okay Louie man also Louie didn't know who Bailey J.

Let's wrap it up. Let's leave him in the rear view just like we're leaving this fucking podcast because this is the last episode we're ever doing.
