Cooking rice in our house used to be a total lottery.

1:40Sometimes it was fluffy, if Claire would make it, and other times it was stuck to the pan like gum on a desk. And I was there, scraping it for ages. Nobody wants that, Claire. No, nothing worse than rice that fights back at dinner time. But that's not the case now we've been using Tilda. They've been doing this for over 50 years. They even mill and test every batch so you get the best grains every time. And the ready to heat pouches are a lifesaver too. Two minutes in the microwave or you can use their boil in the bag range and have dinner sorted in 10. Claire I have a penchant for, sorry French again, no no what's wrong with me, I'm so classy, for the old sticky rice there.

2:17You do. Here's a little thing that I like to do and I don't know what this says about me but I'll have a bowl of sticky rice with just some soy sauce drizzled on it. Yeah no I do like that as well actually but I like Lovely little snack. My favourite's either the peri-peri one or the Mexican one. I like a little bit of spice. I know, you're always going on about it, Claire. Plus, you know there's plenty of flavours to choose from as well. They've got all the classics. Pure basmati, pilau, golden vegetable, coconut. In fact, they've got over 25 different pre-steamed rice pouches to choose from.

2:48You name it, Tilda's got the goods. And there's no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives either. Just really tasty rice. Doesn't matter if it's an epic curry night or just a quick lunch. Tilda makes it easy to elevate your plate. I have told you my ultimate fantasy. Yes, I know, James, and everybody's heard it. I would love to just pour Bindaloo sauce all over you. That would be so many worlds colliding for me. I'm coming. Give me a second. Clip that up. Put that out. You're so weird and annoying. If I had a pound. For every time you heard me saying that, what would you have for? I'd have...

3:29I've been by the door. I've watched someone through my peephole. They've got no parcel and they just pop the thing. I'm like, are you... What? I'm in! You haven't even knocked. You've not rung the bell or anything.

3:43Shall we do this? Yeah. Shall we do a little podcast? Why not? A little podcast episode.

In fact, if you don't like us, don't leave us a review. Love of God. Hey, Claire, how are you? I'm all right, mate. Here she is. How are you? Light of my life. Claire Buckley, as I live and breathe. I'm good, man. Yeah. Busy weekend for us. Very busy weekend. We went up to Scotland. We did a live version of our vlog. Yeah. A little. To Glasgow. Yeah. A little Glasgow audience. And that was fun. But obviously, we had to go to an airport, get on a plane and stuff like that.

4:58Yep. And that's always a source of great material. Yeah. It's always a source. It was. But the thing I wanted to talk to you, Claire, is that you know me. I like the finer things in life, don't I? You do. Yeah, you're partial to. I like to treat myself every once in a while. Yeah. I like to travel well. Right. I like to travel well. Now, I can't, and this is going to shock people because I'm such a fucking legend, but I can't quite afford a private jet. No. But here's a little hack for you. Here's a little tip for you, right? Okay. Something I've discovered. What I like to do, which is a bit cheaper, is sort of like a ride share service.

5:38So I'll like hire an easy jet flight or something like that and I'll share the cost with like about 200 other people. And that way you get your own plane and everything. Everyone chips in but it brings the cost down. Right. And then you get to, you know, we fly private. Right. Is that what we just did? We did. I didn't know that. We flew private, yeah. That was you. That's why the flight was so great. Right. It's a good job we were all going to the same place. Do you predetermine that? No, but that's it. So it's like a ride share sort of thing. Right. So instead of me just falking out for a jumbo jet, right, we spread the cost.

6:12We all chip in. Right. And we all, you know, we all get involved and we all get to fly on our own private jet. Right. Okay. It's really good. Yeah. God, I didn't even know I was doing that. It was really good. That was good, yeah. You should have picked your passengers a bit better because they were annoying. Somebody was playing their phone loud on the plane. Doesn't work. Doesn't work because of the engine noise. On the plane. I was like, we're not doing this on planes. So they had to do it really loud. Really loud. Also, Claire, I would just like to bring up how great we are. me and you we are really fucking great and nobody knows it and I'm getting annoyed what are you talking about just a little conversation we had during the week now we did we genuinely oh I know what they said I don't know whether this is irony or not this is so ironic but I don't know I don't know if us talking about it now it spoils the irony it negates the whole thing we share too much we did something quite nice and during the week and it cost us a few quid.

7:17We just helped a family out. Yeah. Random family. And it was through something. I don't want to talk about it too much because it does just sound like we're begging to make people think we look good. Don't say anymore. But we did something really, really nice for some people. We did something nice. That's not the thing. The joke is what we talk about. And then Claire got a message from this family saying, oh, this is so lovely of you guys to do this for us and help us out. Is it okay if we, you know, post... Talk about it and post about it and stuff. And then we were a bit like... I said to James...

7:47Well, what do you say? I said, either way, you look like a bit of a wanker, don't you? You do, yeah. If I'm like, no, don't tell anybody. No, please don't tell anyone. We do these things just to be great people. Yeah. Or if I go... Yeah, go on, tell people. Yes, I'd love a public acknowledgement of what I did. So I text James, because you weren't there. I text James and I was like, I don't know what to say. This is such an awkward position. I just said, is there a way where, obviously we don't talk about it, but it just, you know, gets leaked?

8:23Well, let's not pretend. That must be what people do. Anytime you hear about a celebrity doing something really nice, they must have had a bit of a hand in sort of, go on, make sure you tell people. So I was like, I was just like, you know, it would be good if people didn't know about it. that we're such nice guys. But they don't, and that's fine. They don't, do they? Which is really annoying. I remember one time... I mean, you have brought it up on the podcast. I know, but it was just really funny. It was a funny conversation. And when I got home, we were laughing about it when I got home. I do think I've spoken about it before.

8:59One time I found£20 on the floor. And I was well into my in-betweeners days. I mean, I had more money then. I was flush. Right. And I found£20 on the floor and I went into a KFC. to get myself some dinner. What, you spent it? No, no, no. And there was a charity thing. Oh, right. And I was like, well, I've found 20 quid. I'll just pop that 20 quid in the charity thing. Right. But when I popped it in, the bloke turned around just as I was popping it in. Nobody saw you. And I was like, oh, man. Nobody saw you. I was this close to going, just 20 quid in. I just put in that. It wasn't even yours? And you wanted the recognition?

9:41No, but who finds 20 quid and then gives it to charity? Loads of people. No, fucking, of course you're not. What you should have done is put another 20 pound in of your money. All you've done is spend somebody else's money. No, I've found it. And wanted to be patted on the back. No, finders keepers. I was 20 quid up. That was a good programme. Thank you. Finders keepers. I was 20 quid up. And instead of using that 20 pounds for myself, I gave it, I don't even know what charity it was, but I gave it to them. Because you don't care. It wasn't about the charity for you. It was about you looking good.

10:13Yeah. That's the point of charity in it. That is the point of charity. For the person giving it to look good. You get to feel good and smug about it. You're doing something good for a charity. Everyone's a winner. Yeah, I guess. Everyone's a winner. I didn't get to look good or feel smug about it. I missed out. Okay. Well, again, you brought it up on the podcast, so everybody knows now. I think there's a lesson there somewhere. I don't know what it is. You'd have better a knob. Yeah, maybe. That might be it. Claire, I need to have a moan. And I don't know whether this is going to be a quick one or not.

10:52Uh-oh. Because I've written down quite a lot. And I can tell that I wrote this down when I was angry. Because it seems a bit... Good. It seems a bit... Good. Like there's loads of words in it. Bring it to me. But I need to just talk to you about delivery drivers. Uh-oh. Just for a second. Why? This happened to us during the week. And I don't know if you remember, actually, but I was like, I'm fucking bringing that up on the podcast. Delivery driver outside our house blaring music out. Yeah. Honestly, like insanely loud. Yeah. The whole street was filled with horrible techno music. It was, yeah.

11:28It was proper dancey stuff as well. It was like being at the front of a festival. Yeah. Okay. All right. And it was... No, because you were the same. Yeah, I was, yeah. I like loud music in my car as much as the next person. Okay. Here's what I do, Claire. Again, because I'm such a fucking great guy. If I'm pulling into a residential area, what do I do? Turn it down. Just a little bit. Just do a little bit. Okay. I'm driving past people's houses. If I'm on the motorway or the high street or busy or whatever... Yeah. No, I do agree. I do agree. And I remember. I do remember that. And I was like, that is mental.

12:04Yeah. how loud it was. It was rattling the house. I'm like, okay, grandpa. But I've still got more delivery driver stuff. What have they done now? Because it made me think of other delivery driver stuff that really annoys me. When they just put the note through the door. When you watch them, you're in the house. Yeah. They have not attempted to deliver your parcel at all whatsoever. I don't know what this is about. So they don't have to carry it? What, a little box or something? They just get straight out and just pop the thing, sorry I missed you. I don't feel like that happens a lot. It's happened a couple of times.

12:39I feel like that's an anomaly. It has happened a couple of times. And if I wasn't such a scaredy cat, because I am terrified. I'd love to catch them, don't I? I'd be like, I've called them. I've called them. Right. I've called them, but I didn't have the, I was too scared to open the door and go, that's what I mean. The fuck, mate? No, right, that's what I mean. You open the door. Because then they go, oh, Jay from the Inbetweeners lives here. And then we get into all that kind of nonsense. yeah but i i've been there i've been by the door i've watched someone through my peephole because i've been waiting for something they've got no parcel and they just pop the thing i'm like are you what i'm in you haven't even knocked you've not rung the bell or anything it's happened a few times that okay and lastly here's a little thing for you all right and this might just be a me problem it's definitely what you would call a first world problem but food delivery yeah right I do because I'm such a flash bastard lazy greedy well yeah a bit of that but I do pay extra for priority delivery yes I want my food being picked up come straight to me lovely fresh and hot okay and I want you going somewhere else before the right I pay for priority delivery they pick up my food and I see them on the app my belly's rumbling because I'm talking about food I see them on the app stopped at a petrol station and it fucking and I'm like no no what was the priority delivery the deal is I pay extra and you don't go anywhere else like fill your car up then pick up some food don't pick up someone's order and then go oh well oh there's a petrol station I might as well jump in there that's really odd even if you weren't priority it's more so that you're priority but if you don't have enough petrol to take the delivery straight to the person you shouldn't have picked it up I think there's going to be some delivery driver rules coming into play once we once we once we once we once we once we once we there'll be some oh no oh no believe me the only thing I hate about people coming to my door whether it's delivery postman whatever is we've got a doorbell and they bang on the door they do the same thing it bugs the life out of me like straight up they must be double handing I'm like Pick one.

14:59Pick one. I'm coming. Give me a second. Clip that. Clip that up. Put that out. You're so weird and annoying. Just clip that. Just clip that. If I had a pound... For every time you heard me saying that, what would you have, four? I'd have... Truthfully, anyway. Hey. Right, ladies? Right, Claire. Yes. If you or the listeners are fed up with hearing moans, I've got some bad news for you. Because we've actually had, I mean, we get loads. They love it. The listeners love it. But it's not just me that does the moaning, Claire. The listeners have started sharing their gripes with us too. Good. Katie is here and she's written in.

15:53Her message is called Pickles and Passion. Nice. She says, my husband and I were recently on week two of our honeymoon and boarded an early morning train from Germany to Paris. We had a busy two weeks and thought we'd be able to relax on the lengthy train journey. Boy, were we wrong. An older couple sat on the seats across the aisle from us and immediately started making out. Oh, how old is an older couple? That's not going where I thought it was going to go. My husband and I are not ones for PDA and tried our best to pretend we hadn't noticed. Oh, God, yeah. This became increasingly difficult when they started groping each other in between make-out sessions.

16:37I assume they're French. They're very passionate, the French, aren't they? They're famously great lovers. It's about much. So I'm guessing they were French. Later in the journey, the lady pulled out a Tupperware box only to produce pickle upon pickle. Who are these? The worst passengers in the fucking world? The carriage reeked and it made the subsequent make-out sessions even more icky. Now, I've said to you in the past... We've got a row. The least... I do believe you can incorporate food into lovemaking. Oh, OK. That's not where I was going. I'll go back to my point. You know, you've got your classic sort of strawberries and cream, that sort of thing.

17:17We've never done that. I know. I wouldn't... To be honest, I wouldn't. We've never had food involved. I think, I like... Except that time you got hungry halfway through. No, but it's, yeah. But there is, I do believe there are foods that you can use. Chocolate. The thing is, I have told you my ultimate fantasy. Yes, I know, James, and everybody's heard it and it's not going to happen. I would love to just pour Bindaloo sauce all over you. That would be so many worlds colliding for me. I mean, that is asking. That's how I want to go. That's. Maybe for my 40th. Maybe. Okay. But the pickle, because you love a pickled egg.

18:01And I said to you that, and I'm not 100 % sure what I mean by this, but I said to you that is the least sexiest food. You did, yeah. Yeah. Say if you were in the mood, it rarely happens, you're married to me, right? And you're like, oh, James. I don't know. I don't know what you're like when you're in the mood, to be honest, Claire. Oh, clearly. I'm never there. Oh, James. And you were like, I reckon, you know, quick little fumble. You want to run upstairs? And I went to you, one second, babe. Let me just finish this pickled egg. I feel like that would kill. Yeah, you're right. It might. Yeah.

18:37But luckily, it's me who eats the pickled eggs. Yeah. And nothing can kill it for you. Nah. Not even a pickled egg. I'm a stallion. What can I say? No, you're desperate. but yeah the pickles and then carrying on making up also i don't like onions yeah i love onions you love onions and i do say this to you like if we go anywhere like if we look at a football game or the hockey or like somewhere like that where it's like hot dogs if james ever he'll look at me and they'll be like we're not gonna do anything tonight are we and i'm like no and he's like extra onions please yeah but if you think for a second that there's a chance if you went maybe I cannot stand onions and like it stays on your breath I don't I cannot do it but you you get your onions all the time don't you I'm always ordering onions I know my onions the carriage reeked and it made the subsequent make out sessions even more icky eventually she fell asleep but not before she kicked off her shoes and socks for everyone to enjoy you.

19:44Oh mate, you don't need that on the honeymoon. Oh they're on their honeymoon. I'll tell you what that's done Katie, it showed you the future. When people just don't care. If you took your socks and shoes off on a plane and started eating onions at a Tupperware I'd be like oh god. You don't. But this couple are into it obviously, this elderly couple. I don't know if they're elderly. They're an older couple. In my head, they're elderly. They make birdage. Towards the end of the six-hour journey, over six-hour journey, my husband and I couldn't take any more. We decided to get our bags and stand at the door for the rest of the journey just to get some reprieve.

20:28Wow. For one last treat, the man entered the bathroom next to where we were standing. No way, did he have a shake? Started smoking and stank out the carriage. We made it to Paris. feeling tired, frustrated and mildly traumatised I don't think James would have survived I would have exploded my face would have been so red yeah I think you would have I would have been annoyed with the fucking getting off with each other in front of us like that would have been enough but the pickles the smoking that's crazy, I can't do that good lord I'll tell you what we noticed this weekend as well that we had a little conversation about people who swear you get the loud talkers now I'm a loud talker I know but there was like some women behind us having a conversation and they were just effing and blinding effing against women all the way through there was loads of F-bombs being dropped and I just think if my kids were here or younger kids are here I just don't think you should swear in public because I know I do swear a lot and I give you into trouble sometimes I do I swear and weirdly enough it is me and I'm always like we'll be having a meal in a restaurant and it is bad and I'll hold my hands up and I'll go oh that is fucking brilliant you've got to taste that and you go why are you swearing yeah don't swear in public there's other people I don't know I don't know just a quick one actually when I'm thinking about it speaking of my famous catchphrase nothing against women nothing against women I've decided that once you get fed up with me and we get a divorce and we can't do this podcast anymore yeah my next podcast is going to be a divorced, bitter, sad man.

22:10That's a great idea. And I'm going to call it nothing against women. That's a great idea. Like Rossi's Divorce Club, the divorcer. Is that from friends? Yeah. I've got to be honest, right? I would be more angry with the pickles. No, I'd be more angry with the kissing. No, I'd be more uncomfortable and just disgusted, just grossed out by the kissing. I don't think in my cast session listen I get that you know young teenagers in love will maybe have a wee a wee winch now and again but the PDA has never been my thing and I think it's weird I think it's really weird to to kiss and stuff in in public places when we again back at the airport we were walking through the airport and there was a couple in front of us I didn't say anything but I just noticed that I was just like what's the point he had his arm around her she had his arm around his back and they both had backpacks on and were trying to walk through and it was like awkward and I'm like if you just fucking let go of each other this would be a lot easier for everybody they were walking slow as well I know exactly who you're talking about I don't mind holding hands as in other people doing it stop walking side by side slowly slowly stop blocking everyone It looked like hard work.

23:36Get out of fucking way. I was like, come on, relax. We've got Liam here. His message is called pre-sniffed produce. Just wanted to get your opinion on something that bugged me recently. I went to pick up a few fruit items from the supermarket and was very put off by the old lady in front of me. There's a pattern. She was picking up an apple, smelling it for quite a long time, and then put it back and proceeded to sniff the next one. She did this with about three or four fruits, including a pineapple. I don't really have to say it, but I did not buy one of the ones that she picked up and sniffed.

24:14All the best from little me in Australia, Liam. Yeah, what are you touching stuff for? Yeah. What are you fucking touching stuff for? Touching's not too bad. It is bad. I don't buy fruit or vegetables often. You can touch a pineapple because nobody eats it outside. Touching an apple is a bit... But you would wash the apple before you ate it. I'm going to tell you something now, Claire. It's sniffing. I'm going to tell you something now. When it's touched somebody's nose, I don't want to eat that. Exactly. But you don't know what's happened or how many other people. I know. Right? And I'm going to tell you something now and this is probably going to cancel me.

24:51Oh. I'm probably going to get cancelled. But say I'm doing a little barbecue or something like that and I want to and I'm like fuck I need some onions because I love onions to grill for my burger depending on you know depending on what happens so and you don't like onions no I do I'll need half an onion yeah which you can't buy obviously so I'll need one onion yeah I can't you don't go to the loose produce I can't so I'll get three onions in a package and we net yeah people can still touch them though don't because I'm trying to sort of I know and I've had this conversation in my head as well and I go, it's just a net, isn't it?

25:30And I go, just don't worry about it. Don't worry, you're trying your hardest, James. But the thing about onions though, you cut off the outer layer. I don't care. Nobody's got into the layers inside. It's really childish, I know it is. No, I get it, I get it. But I know for a fact, if I bought a loose onion, I'd just take it home and go, well, I'm not going to eat that because I don't know where it's been. Fair enough. So I'll spend more on, and it's a waste of food. Yeah, well, yeah. It's really, really bad. I need to get over that kind of stuff. Maybe they need to stop letting people, but to be fair, some things you do have to touch to see if it's ripe.

26:10Well, what do we do then? Don't know, mate. We get dedicated, sanitised, rubber-gloved-up produce testers. Yeah, you have to wear gloves before you touch anything. No, we get someone that works in the supermarket that does that. So if anything isn't ready to go right now, then it's not put on the shelf. Oh, that's too much work. It's too much work. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Well, I don't know what we're going to do. Liam, I am with you, mate. And I know exactly how you're feeling, but I don't know how to help you out there. The world's not ready. We're too radical. We could get robots.

26:47We could easily get robots. To do what? That have sensors. You know, like the little thing in Jurassic Park where they pick up the egg? Yeah. And they turn it a little bit to make sure that the heat... We could have... The technology is there. Okay. All right. It's just whether people are willing to spend money on it. They'd rather fund hospitals and schools and stuff. It's fucking country. Anyway. Oh, God. This episode is brought to you by Deliveroo. Claire, family life is hectic. It is. There's nothing we can do about that. No. Especially with two boys. They're never not hungry. Never full. Neither are you though.

27:28I'm just greedy. The boys have an excuse. They're growing. They are, yeah. Well, Claire, when you're a parent, you deal with stuff like that all day long.
