32:18Okay well welcome back Phoebe Welcome back Phoebe Happy to have you back What else has been on our agenda this week SNL I haven't watched SNL Which I'm thinking will be good because neither will some of our listeners. So SNL, Hannah Waddington, for the past couple of weeks, I keep calling it Amy Louise Wood, but it's Amy Lou Wood. Amy Lou Wood. I love. Her episode was fab. Nicola Coughlin's wasn't, no shade. Nicola Coughlin's just not funny. Sorry. Love her. She's doing amazing things for the trans community. Love her. She's not funny. That's okay. And then Jack Whitehall's was awful and Jack Whitehall needs to stop working.

33:00like please I hate Jack Whitehall everyone here I know everyone listening to this podcast does not like Jack Whitehall but who does like Jack Whitehall I don't know but Hannah Waddington got announced and me and Bill like oh because like barely know her don't know her the people that love her love her but I'm not I wasn't asked genuinely it was the funniest episode of SNL yeah Jack Sherp our lord and saviour killed it played this like a weird Italian man was fucking amazing. The one where he had the old prosthetic. Oh, and then he had like chest hair. It was so funny. Like, it was so funny. Hannah Wadden is genuinely the most talented person in the world.

33:39She can sing. She was like singing as well. And then she was doing every single sketch she was doing a different accent. It was genuinely it was like an actual masterclass. Damn. And genuinely don't, it's not that I don't care for her. It's just everyone who watches Ted Lasso is a virgin. But like, it's just like I didn't watch Ted Lasso. It's for like millennials, like whatever. But she's genuinely amazing. I genuinely couldn't believe her. It was fab. Ted Lasso is for virgins. Yeah, it is, isn't it? I don't know why. I don't know what's going on there. Yeah. I can't believe people watch it. Even as someone who has a soft spot for sports-related movies or TV, still so boring.

34:18Yeah, bunch of freaks. But Hannah Waddington, don't know anything about her. I barely know. She was in Game of Thrones. How much of your enjoyment of the episode was learning about her? Yeah. I think it genuinely, because my thing with Hannah Waddington is, absolutely no shade because I genuinely think she's so talented. I want to see more of her now. But I didn't think she's that famous. So then I was like, God, to host SNL, like that's crazy. And then she did it and I was like, oh, she absolutely ate everybody up. Like everyone that's been on there before, she's like, take it to the cleaners.

34:49Like she was amazing. How important do you think it is that the host is good to the quality of the general episode? Well now, 100%. It's not just actually about the fame, it's about talent. Right. If I've got to be really famous to impress me, or you have to be extremely talented, and Hannah Waddington. Well, but how much of the show, like, would you say that 50 % of the show involves - She was in basically every single scene. Genuinely, it was phenomenal. Even pre-recorded sketches? There was two, a few pre-recorded sketches in. There was a couple that she wasn't. Because some, I, just Jack Shep for the win.

35:22Yeah. He's fantastic. And we'll get him on this pod. Well, well. I've already spoken to her. British Vogue I've already got in Yeah bastard But she's doing one more episode And then we'll get her on the poddy She's not too famous By the time SNL's over Okay so I'm sensing a sort of A general Shift In appreciation For SNL I always appreciate Like we all No no Watch every episode But like Let it be known Let it be known If a bit dash go on SNL UK is a great thing For Yeah Everyone Yeah But like I think for the first few episodes i've watched the most recent episodes it's like it's hit or miss like it's and that's the nature of live comedy and sketch comedy right for sure but like i'm sensing a shift in like appreciation for it from from your end based on like the quality of yeah this episode honestly genuinely this episode was like everything that she was in was like it was like a laugh second it was so funny do you feel like it's it's just stupid like it was so stupid one thing i don't get about snl that i think i could learn about is like i don't really see the benefit of it all being live like yeah i agree but like did it it's given that this was a good episode in your eyes did you did you start to feel it no yeah because jack shepp broke a tiny bit and like laughed to myself which made me laugh right um i'm just like a jack shepp's down i just can't go over jack shepp i can tell yeah i know it's crazy um but we all are but um we have been since early as well early i was going ages i was up wanting to be cool having to be funny way before you bitches knew who jack shepp was yeah i was at the george tavern front row i was at the ivy house yeah We'd always uncomfortably run into each other when I was dating a drug addict in Camberwell.

37:22Do you get it? Do you get it? I saw Jack Shep get famous on TikTok and then flop on TikTok and now fucking... I saw Jack Shep when he was football training kids in the park on a Saturday. That's so stupid. Anyway. Okay, I'm glad to hear it. Yeah. Because my stance on SNL has been like, uh some of it's good some of it i didn't find funny but general like happy it's really happy it's happening yeah but also like i think we should be on it i think with the like we have absolutely the daily report for example absolutely not qualified yeah when you should be on it we should be on it i was like we don't do like enough for a check i would yeah but the whole point is you have to do it first and then they give you a check.

38:14It's like with music. You're not going to get a major deal without releasing some music. Yeah. I've been online a lot. We did some stuff for Maiden Voyage. It's fine. We've done a video for Maiden Voyage. Let's get hired by Universal Records. Yeah.

38:31I know girls that got like signed for less than that. True. No shade. But what was I going to say? they need time to get good right like it's the thing with like the the news report thing it's like they need that they need time to be able to fit into that role and just like all of them generally that they've just been thrown in the news report paddy young oh so sex sex paddy young i was saying to bill i fancy him so much but i don't want him i just want him to win like i fancy him as a friend do you know all these girls i fancy him like genuinely if he asked me i'd be like no like no but i think you're so beautiful and great who do you think i kind of feel it's how i feel about you like fancy was a friend i don't want you like that but i'm just like go louis do you know what i mean every time i watch one of these videos i'm like go louis that was really good episode like 80 something and you're finally friends on me finally but do you know what i mean i'm trying all this you fancy as a friend no but in it like there were just some men that you're like oh yeah objectively is attractive objectively beautiful objectively funny but like i don't want him but like fancying for everyone else do you know what i mean what okay and why do you think that is because he probably looks a bit hairy and it's actually just not my tea i'm actually not a bear you do like baby's bottom i don't it's giving baby's bottom all right okay I thought you meant Paddy Young's very good at making a funny face after he reads out his line yeah we do I thought about rock music is that Kirstama from SNL that's the one thing I would like to say it needs to get stop being political but I just love whoa she I think doesn't want to be political but is willing to talk about conspiracy theories and simultaneously telling us to vote am I cooked chat am I cooked no that's not what I'm saying I'm just saying they keep telling the same Keir Starmer joke over and over and over and it's boring.

40:29Like, I don't like Keir Starmer for the rest of the girls, but like, it's just like, God, Peter Mandelson, Peter Mandelson, Keir Starmer, Keir Starmer. It's just like, like, I just don't want to think about the arseholes that are running our country for a second. I see you. But if we can't like, if we can't hold a mirror up to what's happening, then how can we ever get better? The comedy, someone's going to comment on this and be like, Sue, you become an ignorant. satire is about holding a mirror up okay so every week every week same thing yeah about kirsten armor maybe maybe it always sounds like he has a lozenge on his throat yeah yeah yeah i should do the kirsten armor impression i know get bill not bill no the guy that does it's good let's do some fucking agony aunts honey Someone's just messaged me Wow Sue is serving face mama Thank you as are you Oh sorry that was my bad Okay you ready?

45:43So what are you into? Yeah. Are you into film? Are you into music? Where are you going to meet the person that has the similar interests to you? Is it going to be in a physical space? Is it going to be an online space? Yeah. Is it going to be in the straight diva WhatsApp chat? Because I know this person is in the straight diva WhatsApp chat. Yeah. But how many... How did you know that? Because I saw the picture. Oh. I was like, oh my God, you just know how they write. I was like... no okay i don't know is there anything else to add on struggling with dating i think take a break sometimes i think just change course and also something that helps for me is taking your mind off it completely by filling your life with something else more interesting like in like a work or a passion or a friendship because i feel like love is more likely to find you if you're like winning in other areas basically and it's like what the classic thing of like watching a kettle boil if you watch kettle boil it's gonna take longer gonna take ages yeah yeah go have a wee that's what i like to do when i watch the kettle boil go have a wee i don't have a kettle i've got a hot tap have a scroll forget the kettle's boiled boil the kettle again forget the kettle's boiled again because you've been scrolling again repeat repeat repeat fill the void fill the void hey babes love the pod and the new song love you agony aunt for you gay man here i've had a friend for about six years and when we first met i instantly thought there was something flirty between us and i fancied him straight away but then he told me he has a girlfriend he's been with his gf the whole time we've known each other i've also become friendly with her but we don't see each other loads tbh there's been so many times over the years when i felt this flirtation from him and then the most obvious one was when he sent me a link to a song telling me to listen to the lyrics and it went baby can we talk i've been into you for such a long time we've been friends for so long don't quite know how to say this so it's extremely obvious he fancies me to some degree and i fancied him the whole time my question should i ask if he fancies me at what point do i tell him do i ask if he fancies me is it all in my head surely not there have been so many signs that he's been trying to float with me seeing as he's had such a long-term gf i feel like i don't want to be a homewrecker but maybe he's closeted by curious and is hoping that i make the first move i always thought if they broke up i'd ask him okay so um i do kind of have experience with this where you just actually have to ask him if you just want to like if it's if you're feel like you're losing your mind and losing your way fucking ask him i think there is so much lost time that i should have just there's a kathy burke quote where she's like what that i was the biggest regret she's i should have fucked the people that could have fucked and i think that is tea like i like i think especially at uni i think i beat around the bush with a lot of people i did at school there was a guy that i knew fancy me used to like fucking snapchat me and i was like and i was like always trying to float with him but he wouldn't overtly say but i should have just gone around his fucking house do you know what I mean and just like right and come around like genuinely all you're doing is losing your own time say it fuck it and then like if he's like I'm with my girlfriend be like alright we'll stay in the closet then queen I'm going away because then you know do you know what I mean like and um let me flip the script on you okay what if what if some man or some little fucking starts getting in Bill's DMs I'd be like you can try you can try yeah go on have a go see how far you get because ultimately i'm not like if bill cheats that's on bill not on that person right okay like if someone dms me like i'm not i'm not replying like hey sweet one i'm like no like i've got a man piss off girl i don't know i came up with that is that good do you like that um but it is that thing it's like you know yeah go for it no it's like try it i agree but it's fun it's interesting because i feel like a lot of people like he if he also cheats on his girlfriend he's a waste man a lot of people disagree on that thing right there it's like if you're a lot of people think homewrecking is a a bad the home's already wrecked because the person in the home is wrecking it and you should be able to take those sort of tests if you're like a solid relationship ruining like your time together by like constantly trying to get with you what Is that still recording?

50:09I don't know We're still recording Are we? Yeah Oh yeah we are Shit it then But like if he's wasting your life By like doing that You can't waste your life Fancying him Just ask Do you fancy me? Right Shut it down Yeah yeah yeah Do you know what I mean? Then if he's like No no no no Then there's your answer Yeah You can't convince someone To like love themselves You clearly love yourself You're gay You're openly gay It sounds like I could be curious I don't know But like you know what you want And just go and say what you want It's not that you're asking Him to cheat on his girlfriend and you're like, so what's going on here?

50:38This isn't fair. Yeah. You know? No, I agree with your lead point that like life is too short to not sort of pursue these things. Like what are we doing? Are we living to kind of, you know, hit our KPIs or please other people? No. Okay. We're living to shag and we're living to love. And also you felt this enough that you've written into a podcast. Like you are eloquent enough to just like, don't even do it over text, do it to his face. like what's that song about do you fancy me yes or no yeah genuinely there is just so much where like i feel like there was so much of my life being flirted with with straight men or like by curious men or bisexual men so much like flirting where i should have just turned around like honestly genuinely unless you're going to do something stop like but you're kind of oh maybe they'll make they never make the first move like they're like you are their roof like this kind of flirtation they're offering you is like their roof it's the most that they they are like daring themselves to go like respect yourself more and be like what is this genuinely if you don't want it piss off gag it so i'm trying to think of another hypothetical taron edgerton slides in your dms who's tarned tarned edgerton is um this he's the guy that played elton john in the elton john biopic Oh yeah, if you slid in my DMs I'd block him I'm trying to think of a good one Like I guess I'm trying to think of the ultimate test To slide in your DMs Taron Egerton was a joke one Okay Is she a girl?
