00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,960
Hi everyone, and welcome to 
episode 6 of the Lesbian Supper 

2
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,000
Club podcast. 
I feel like we're going to have 

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,280
to stop saying the numbers soon 
because. 

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,280
I know, but do you know what's 
really weird actually that you 

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,880
would say that is that I was 
randomly looking at other 

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,640
podcasts earlier and a lot of 
people number their podcasts. 

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,000
Yes. 
And we don't number the titles, 

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,960
that's why I feel like I have to
number the intro. 

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,120
I feel like we give everyone 
quite a warm welcome on ours. 

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,280
I feel like whenever I listen to
a podcast I don't even hear 

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440
welcome. 
Yeah, it's because we don't have

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,880
any sponsors yet for attacks. 
That's why I'm the sponsor. 

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,160
We're having myself personable. 
Please love me. 

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,200
Give me some cash please. 
I'm on my knees. 

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,040
Welcome back everyone, we hope 
that you loved episode 5 as much

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,720
as we did because honestly, 
Lewis had me absolutely creased.

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,680
I was kissing myself like. 
That that episode when we had to

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,000
go through and send the edit 
notes over to Marcelo, like we 

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560
were actually crying like at 
some points because there's just

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,880
something about him that is so 
fucking funny as well. 

21
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,000
And I also think it's got to a 
point now. 

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,440
Oh God, the dogs just stole the 
limp roller. 

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,800
He's like, don't you dare raise 
any memory of me. 

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Go, sit, go, go, sit down, 
please. 

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,800
Because we're not having it. 
We're not right. 

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,680
Up and lie down. 
Lie down. 

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Good boy. 
The Invisalign is up. 

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,720
What did I say? 
I actually can't remember. 

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,840
No, we were talking. 
Yeah, we're talking about Lewis.

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,360
Lewis. 
And it's got to a point now 

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,440
where, you know, we. 
Say it again. 

32
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,560
Oh, sorry, it's got to a point 
now where we edit, you know, we,

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,200
we help edit these, these 
podcasts and I get so bored of 

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480
the sound of my own voice and 
yours actually. 

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
And it's nice to have someone 
else just just voice coming in, 

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,240
you know? 
Yeah, and and also we we kind of

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720
had to keep in a lot of the 
mistakes that we made just 

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,440
purely because he made them so 
much funnier. 

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,760
Just the way that he talks is 
just like and just interprets 

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960
things as hilarious. 
So thanks again, Lois, because 

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,560
we love you and we loved having 
you on and we can't wait for you

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,640
guys to see kind of what guests 
we've got lined up as well and 

43
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,720
in store for the Lesbian Supper 
Club. 

44
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,680
So it's only up from here, baby.
A couple of days ago we put out 

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,680
a story on your Instagram to say
that you guys should send in 

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840
some topics that you really want
us to talk about and a massive 

47
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,000
one that kept coming through was
our coming out stories. 

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,120
So we've listened and we're 
going to do today on episode 6, 

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,440
our coming out stories. 
We've got a van of therapists 

50
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,920
parked outside, particularly for
Freya because Lord knows that 

51
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:49,640
she's going to need it when? 
She's going to say I'm going to 

52
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,720
have to relive this, which is 
yeah. 

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,680
And yeah, so today we're going 
to be mainly focused on a coming

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760
out story. 
We're going to start off talking

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,360
about the L Word again, because 
what else do lesbians talk 

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,080
about? 
And we're going to finish off 

57
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,880
with, I know we say this every 
time. 

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,520
But this is this is a pretty 
viral. 

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,960
One, this is the worst Horror 
Story if you think piss in the 

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,280
mouth was bad. 
Just you wait, baby. 

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,760
This is this is actually took 
the medal and I didn't think 

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,560
we'd. 
Be able to medal that no one 

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,000
actually wants. 
No, I don't know. 

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Some people might. 
Want some people might want it 

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,240
OK well I think we should start 
handing out medals of like the 

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,280
most fucking disgusting lesbian 
supper club Horror Story the. 

67
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,000
2nd. 
Idea one we should give. 

68
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Lesbian medals If your story 
makes the Lesbian Supper club 

69
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600
podcast, you get the lesbian. 
It's a bit like a Blue Peter 

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,600
badge, but just more 
disgraceful. 

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,040
Yes, yeah, that's such a good 
idea. 

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,040
And I think it's like going back
on the L Word thing because 

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320
there's been more development. 
So we listened and we love, by 

74
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,040
the way, the pants pod. 
So shout out to the Pants 

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,080
podcast by Alicia Haley. 
And Kate Menig is her last name,

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,400
I think so Shane and Alice from 
The L Word. 

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,520
And this podcast is amazing. 
And the way that they speak 

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,320
about things is, is just really.
The way they don't speak over 

79
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,040
each other, that's. 
Beautiful. 

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Yeah, I walked home and went. 
Babe, they don't talk over each 

81
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,720
other and it's not my cars. 
No two people are the same. 

82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,040
No2 pussies are the same and no 
two people are the same. 

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,680
If I all right, and if you want 
someone that's not going to talk

84
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,640
over to you, hinge, you've 
mentioned a few times how much 

85
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,040
it's progressed since you were 
on there. 

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,840
Off you fucking are. 
Looking a lot better these days?

87
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,240
No, honestly. 
Everyone thinks we're in a 

88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,800
polyamorous relationship, so 
they probably. 

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,520
They do on there anyway, yeah. 
That's for another episode. 

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,440
That's for another episode. 
We Oh. 

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Shut up. 
We're actually in one with 

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Marcelo. 
No, I think listening to that 

93
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
podcast made me think, shit, I 
didn't realise the kind of back 

94
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,480
story behind what happened with 
L Word Generation Q, So I didn't

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,400
know that. 
So Kate and Lisa, Shane and 

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,520
Alice were behind the 
development of bringing back the

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,840
L word with Jennifer Beals and 
Eileen Shaken. 

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,560
So they were trying to release 
another L word. 

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,040
They obviously could see that 
there was a massive gap in the 

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,760
market for it and it needed to 
be done. 

101
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,600
And like so they also loved 
their characters, which I 

102
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,560
really, really love. 
And they wanted to bring that 

103
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,880
back. 
And then I think it got taken 

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,240
over and and turned into a way 
that they really didn't want or 

105
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,960
like, which I could see just by 
watching it wasn't it was 

106
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,160
nowhere near on the same level. 
I don't think Alison, Shane, 

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,680
Kate and Lisa were not happy 
with how the L word developed 

108
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
because it didn't develop in the
way that they thought it should 

109
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,080
have done for a start, which I 
agree with. 

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,440
I don't think that the 
characters developed quite in 

111
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,080
the way that we would have all. 
I also think the whole way that 

112
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,200
it was filmed was not reflective
of the L Word at all. 

113
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,680
So understandably, there were 
things that needed to evolve 

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,160
from the first kind of, you 
know, L word, which we all agree

115
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960
on. 
But what I loved about the 

116
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,200
filming of the original L Word 
is that you did feel like you 

117
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,640
were there, like it felt very 
raw. 

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,320
Whereas L Word generation Q, 
despite the characters, despite 

119
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880
the storylines, despite anything
else, the way that it was 

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,160
actually filmed felt very fake 
and toy like. 

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Yes, do you know what I mean? 
It had no like authenticity to 

122
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,160
it. 
It felt very like almost like a 

123
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,840
cartoony. 
I really hated the vibrant 

124
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,400
colours. 
No queer lot are that fucking 

125
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,080
happy. 
No, we're not. 

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,040
Do you know what I mean? 
The. 

127
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,720
LGBTQ flag should be pastel. 
What? 

128
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Because we're not be like a 
pirate flag? 

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Really. 
Yeah, because we're not that 

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,720
fucking shiny, do you know what 
I mean? 

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,280
No, we're not shiny and we're 
not happy. 

132
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:58,600
All right. 
Generally genuinely laughed for 

133
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,480
once in my whole life. 
No, no, no. 

134
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,280
Don't laugh. 
I did. 

135
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,160
I laughed at Jessie Carson. 
Yeah, you did. 

136
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,320
I think that's the only time 
I've ever. 

137
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,600
Yeah, actually, I want to say 
really quickly, if you guys 

138
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,120
haven't heard of Jessica Carson 
by now, you need to check her 

139
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,320
out. 
She is the funniest comedian. 

140
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680
I don't even say that loudly. 
She's a legend, the funniest 

141
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,200
comedian I've ever seen in my 
life. 

142
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,520
And when we went to go and see 
her live, I was in pain, but I 

143
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,280
was also in awe, like watching 
her. 

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,880
I was so just like, what's even 
the one inspired? 

145
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Like I watched her and she did 
AQ and A at the end where she 

146
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,800
was really like she had a lot of
like humidity about her. 

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Like not only is she hilarious 
and, and talks about things that

148
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,880
maybe like other people don't 
want to talk about, like her 

149
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,360
grandparents having sex and 
reenacting the whole thing, 

150
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,720
which I thoroughly enjoyed. 
Scarlett then and me were like, 

151
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,080
OK, well, we want to go say hi 
to her afterwards because we 

152
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,800
we've kind of shared a few 
comments online to one another 

153
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,400
before and like we follow each 
other. 

154
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,320
We follow each other. 
And I was like, I love her. 

155
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,560
And now I'm a bit starstruck 
because she was so funny. 

156
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,160
I don't know what to do with 
myself. 

157
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,920
So we were then in the quietest 
room after everyone had kind of 

158
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,320
said thank you and got in a 
photo with her. 

159
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720
And Scarlett said to me she was 
like, my asshole is wet, I've 

160
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,400
been laughing so much, I said. 
This whilst we were laughing 

161
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840
like so whilst the show was 
taking place I looked up for I 

162
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,160
was like I'm laughing so much 
I'm sweating from everywhere 

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,440
including my asshole. 
Yes, OK, right. 

164
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,400
But I. 
Don't ever give the correct 

165
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,440
context. 
You're fucking weird. 

166
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,919
Nobody needed to know that 
anyway, so I then was like, this

167
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,120
would be a really funny thing to
say. 

168
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,679
I'm just going to go up to her 
and I'm going to break it to her

169
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,000
anyway because the room was so 
quiet. 

170
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,160
I go up to Jessie. 
I'm like, hey, yeah, that was 

171
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,400
amazing. 
That was amazing. 

172
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,160
Her assholes wet. 
And then, oh, she said, and then

173
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,840
and then I just looked at her 
and then she looked at me. 

174
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Jessie, to this day, I don't 
know if you actually heard what 

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,960
I said or if you did hear what I
said and you were mortified or 

176
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,240
you didn't understand what I 
said and just kind of wanted to 

177
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,800
move past it. 
But I just looked at looked at 

178
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,960
her with the most mortified look
on my face. 

179
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,040
And I was just and Charlotte was
like, and I could I I can feel 

180
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Scarlett's energy when Scarlett 
is like, you're a fucking. 

181
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,800
Idiot, I don't think it takes 
any energy feeling to think that

182
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,280
when you've gone up to someone 
you don't know and looked at 

183
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,120
them after saying hello, pointed
at me and gone her assholes wet.

184
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,640
You're not fucking spiritual for
thinking I might have been 

185
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,600
pissed off for that, you fucking
idiot. 

186
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,960
I literally in that moment was 
like I the last five years have 

187
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,640
been a terrible mistake. 
I wish I was getting in the car 

188
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,280
on my own. 
I literally, I, as soon as we 

189
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,080
walked away, you know, and 
you're like, you think about 

190
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,040
that moment and every day I've 
been thinking about that wet 

191
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,640
asshole moment. 
It's been months. 

192
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Sleepless sites. 
Yeah, I'm sorry, Jesse. 

193
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,120
I do. 
Really. 

194
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,400
Love. 
I do think it was a bit of gay 

195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,880
panic. 
I panicked massively. 

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,720
The gay panic came over me. 
I was hot. 

197
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Just quickly back to the L word.
Then I so they had basically 

198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,840
they were the ones that come 
together, put it all together. 

199
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,800
It'd been, they said 10 years in
the making, yeah, of really 

200
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,440
getting the show back off the 
ground. 

201
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,120
And then they had and they were 
one and also one of the last 

202
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,960
people to be told that it was 
actually going to end, which I 

203
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,000
think is. 
Disgraceful. 

204
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,240
That's one. 
Disgusting that you just 

205
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,200
shouldn't do that. 
Right. 

206
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,560
I also mentioned that they 
there's a lot, there were a lot 

207
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:25,520
of new people involved that 
didn't actually give a fuck 

208
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,680
about the project. 
That was very clear. 

209
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,360
Which makes me think that back 
in the early 2000s, right, No 

210
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,600
one else would have touched this
unless they were quit because 

211
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400
they wouldn't have wanted to 
have jeopardised their career, 

212
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,040
you know, Whereas now people 
will jump on things if it is 

213
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,200
quit because they think it 
elevates them in a lot of ways. 

214
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,440
So there probably was a lot of 
CIS heterosexual people on that 

215
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,000
set who had no fucking idea the 
lives in which they were trying 

216
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,680
to portray, and that was 
obvious. 

217
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:02,920
The L word has like helped me 
develop yeah like and and accept

218
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,000
my sexuality. 
L word generation Q would have 

219
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,280
made me go back in the fucking. 
Closet but it just gave me 

220
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,360
nothing either it. 
Wasn't good, It wasn't. 

221
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,520
Good. 
And there was, there's still a 

222
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,360
lot I have to learn about this 
community. 

223
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,880
You know, even speaking with 
Lewis a few days ago made it 

224
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,520
really prevalent that there's 
still a lot of things that I 

225
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,680
just haven't, you know, 
understood about the community 

226
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:26,200
or or don't know enough about 
because I stay in my kind of 

227
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,320
lesbian lane, so to speak. 
And for the diversity that the 

228
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:37,400
ELWA Generation Q brought, it 
didn't, I mean, it did show me 

229
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,320
things about different 
characters that maybe you don't 

230
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,720
see as much on TV. 
I don't think it really dug deep

231
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,400
into a lot beyond the surface of
just tick boxing. 

232
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,080
That's. 
How I think it was just surface 

233
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,400
level and yeah, I mean, it just 
wasn't for me. 

234
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120
I think like with the original 
Our Word, I loved the fact that 

235
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360
Dana did that line, which is 
like, I don't want to be seen 

236
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,560
with you like a dyke, like for 
me. 

237
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,480
Because those conversations do 
do. 

238
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Happen and it's funny and it's 
just stupid and it's in like 

239
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,720
little pass away things like 
that. 

240
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,120
But actually the deepest 
storylines within the original 

241
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120
our word really dug into the 
lives of lesbian women and what 

242
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,240
that looks like and what the 
what toxicity looks like as 

243
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,320
well. 
The positives and the negatives,

244
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200
just everything about it. 
It didn't seem like they took 

245
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,000
that blueprint. 
It just seemed like they took a 

246
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,440
few of the older characters and 
kept the name and then that was 

247
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600
it. 
And also why didn't they use the

248
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,640
original theme tune? 
Because the hat theme tune, but 

249
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,560
no. 
It would not leave my head then 

250
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:37,760
for another decade. 
They need yeah, every lesbian 

251
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,160
can recite that off my heart. 
Just to end the L word 

252
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,080
generation QL word chat here, 
I'm sure we'll revisit it many 

253
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:51,480
times going forward is I really 
want all of the so Jennifer, 

254
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Leisha, Kate. 
Bring Kit back. 

255
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,760
I don't care if you killed her 
off in Generation Q, just bring 

256
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,360
her back. 
And Eileen to come together and 

257
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,120
launch their own L Word again, 
forget L Word generation queue 

258
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,320
even happened. 
Yeah, L Word coming back, 

259
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,160
bringing new characters. 
Obviously update it in all the 

260
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,920
ways that needs to be updated, 
but keep the basis of why the L 

261
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,840
Word was so successful. 
Very there. 

262
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,040
I don't work with Cox, which I 
know is really hard in that 

263
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,440
industry, but try not to. 
I will come there and put a 

264
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,840
fucking producer's hat on. 
Do I know a thing about 

265
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,200
production? 
No. 

266
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,800
Would I give that a good guy? 
Yes. 

267
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,440
And yes to lesbians as well. 
And do it again. 

268
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,120
And because we still don't know 
who fucking killed Jenny. 

269
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120
Yeah, they didn't even fucking 
do. 

270
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,000
They didn't even give us that in
Generation Q. 

271
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Just pretend as if she never 
existed. 

272
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280
And she did exist. 
Yes, we all may have hated her, 

273
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,720
but she very much existed. 
Yeah, very true. 

274
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,480
Well, I'll take you on that one,
darling. 

275
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,640
I think your blood pressure has 
gone. 

276
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,200
High. 
I've wound myself right up and 

277
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,800
now I've got to talk about 
coming out stories. 

278
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,440
But yeah, let's go into coming 
out because. 

279
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,760
That's gonna wind me up even 
more. 

280
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,840
I know that so many people have 
asked about this. 

281
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,800
I think that everyone's coming 
out stories is actually really 

282
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,080
important because I think that 
it I think expressing that and 

283
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,160
telling people about it is 
somewhat comforting, even if 

284
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,440
you've had a bad experience. 
So because mine was not a good 

285
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:24,360
experience at all. 
I was in the closet for 21 1/2 

286
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,680
years of my life. 
I had already had a girlfriend 

287
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:34,080
and was going out with her for 
two years before I came out and 

288
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120
we were in a long distance 
relationship, which is another 

289
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,200
thing that I kind of want to 
talk about on another episode 

290
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,640
because I know quite a few of 
you have talked about, you know,

291
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,120
how do you handle that? 
And I know that lesbians fucking

292
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,520
love to travel. 
So so I think that that's quite 

293
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,720
like an interesting story. 
But that aside, my coming out, 

294
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,920
the one thing that I'm going to 
mention and you'll understand 

295
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,760
why is never let somebody force 
you to come out and never let 

296
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,960
somebody come out for you. 
I think when I when I was in 

297
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,320
this relationship and it was a 
very serious relationship with a

298
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:14,160
woman, I really, I felt 
petrified to come out to my 

299
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,080
parents because I even though I 
actually have an older gay 

300
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,920
sister, Megan, my mom was not 
okay with Megan's sexuality when

301
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,040
she came out at all. 
So knowing that bit of 

302
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,000
information kind of made me very
reluctant can. 

303
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,520
I jump in there though and say 
that your mum did come to accept

304
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,320
her again and absolutely love 
her and love Whitney as well. 

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,560
Megane wife. 
Yeah. 

306
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440
And all was good. 
All the storm had come. 

307
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,200
This is something that is 
important. 

308
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,080
I know that you very much 
remembered the difficulty that 

309
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,160
Megan had, yeah. 
But by this point, everything 

310
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,480
was absolutely. 
Yeah, and she loves, you know, 

311
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,280
my sister's wife and she's 
welcomed her into the home and 

312
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,520
has been fantastic. 
But you know, when you just 

313
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,400
know, you know, it's not going 
to go down. 

314
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,560
Well, she was always asking 
about boys. 

315
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,120
She always seemed a little bit 
shady whenever I was like, 

316
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,520
speaking about anything queer 
related. 

317
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,160
So even when I said, oh, I, I 
mean, I remember I was 16. 

318
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,200
I went to go see Jessie J for 
like a fiver and then I came 

319
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,480
back and I was like, oh, I could
marry her. 

320
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,640
She literally looked at me and 
was like what the fuck? 

321
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,240
So I knew, I knew in my in my 
gut that it was going to be bad.

322
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,600
But I had spoken to a few people
about this because my sisters 

323
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,120
knew that I was in this 
relationship. 

324
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,560
I tried to keep it very, very 
quiet because I also just 

325
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,240
because of this, I wasn't 
comfortable in my sexuality at 

326
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,440
all. 
I was like, I'm only in love 

327
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,880
with this one girl. 
There's no way I could be gay. 

328
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,560
And I pushed it down so much 
because I was petrified as to 

329
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,560
kind of like what that would 
look like for me in my life and 

330
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,760
what that would look like for me
in terms of my family. 

331
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,200
And I remember, actually, I 
don't know if you guys will be 

332
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,400
able to relate to this, but 
before I came out, I remember 

333
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,640
every time that I would see my 
mom and she didn't know about, 

334
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,560
you know, my sexuality. 
I was thinking, I'm going to 

335
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,520
cherish this moment right now 
because she's being really 

336
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,760
loving and she doesn't know 
about my sexuality. 

337
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,200
And it made me feel so 
inherently guilty all the time. 

338
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,599
So anyway, Long story short, I 
ended up travelling to Brazil 

339
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
for a few months and I had an 
amazing time. 

340
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:23,280
I came back. 
Let me tell you why it was 

341
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,839
amazing. 
Brazil's fucking sick. 

342
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,920
Secondly, because I was able to 
be gay and openly gay over 

343
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,400
there, which I just didn't 
categorically didn't do in the 

344
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,840
UK, just in any fear of getting 
caught out. 

345
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,560
So then I came home and I was 
depressed because obviously I 

346
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,080
was away from Brazil and I was 
away from the girl that I was 

347
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,920
going out with. 
And my mom actually saw me 

348
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,800
crying because, you know, 
obviously I was in a terrible 

349
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,440
way. 
And she was like, why are you 

350
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,600
crying? 
Is it because you miss Brazil? 

351
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,280
I was like, yeah, yeah. 
I just really miss it, really 

352
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,520
miss it. 
She's like, is it because you 

353
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,480
miss Natalia? 
Sure, she won't care. 

354
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,640
Is it because you miss Natalia? 
And I was like, yes. 

355
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,320
And then she said, are you in 
love with her? 

356
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,360
So she coerced me to come out. 
So by this point I thought, well

357
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:11,000
I can't actually now lie and. 
Everybody asking that question 

358
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,560
in that way, it's quite like a 
nice way to ask it is, do you 

359
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,840
know what I mean? 
It's quite like open. 

360
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,840
And also, my sisters have said 
go on. 

361
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,360
I think mom will be all right 
with it. 

362
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,400
Just go for it. 
Just you've got to do it. 

363
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,320
You can't keep lying to her. 
And I knew kind of in my head I 

364
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,520
was like, oh, well, Dad was fine
when Megan came out, so I'm not 

365
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,360
really too worried about that. 
But I was like on my own with 

366
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,840
her in her room. 
And I said yes. 

367
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,640
And I started crying my eyes out
and she was like, you're 

368
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,560
disgusting. 
Sorry, I'm laughing, I mean. 

369
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,000
Because I find you disgusting 
for many rays, but not that one.

370
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,160
Thank you very much, babe. 
I was in you're a cunt. 

371
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,840
I was in a really, really bad 
way. 

372
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,080
And I was like, what? 
I kind of, I knew that she was 

373
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,880
gonna react badly, but actually 
the reality of them then acting 

374
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,920
badly is like, you're joking me,
right. 

375
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,520
And she was like, you're sick, 
you're sick. 

376
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,720
And I was like, okay. 
And I and I said as well though 

377
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,640
she's like, are you gay then? 
And I was like, no, I've, I 

378
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,000
mean, this is, this is stupid on
my behalf, but I had to try and 

379
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,680
claw back anything that I could.
I was like, no, I'm straight, 

380
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,320
but I'm just like in love with 
this one person. 

381
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,120
I'm in love with her. 
And my mom was like, I can't 

382
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,640
believe you. 
You know what? 

383
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,800
My mum is like Jesus Christ. 
And she just really. 

384
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,720
How they make it out as if it's 
a choice, like you've told them 

385
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,000
that you've just gone and robbed
a bank. 

386
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,520
I think as. 
Well, she's like, I don't 

387
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,280
believe you made they always 
make it kind of like sexual, 

388
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,920
which I don't really understand 
why they always. 

389
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,200
Make it about sex. 
Because you could me, I'm like, 

390
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,000
just can you not mention that at
all? 

391
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Do you know? 
Like it just makes me feel 

392
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,280
inherently uncomfortable. 
I'm already. 

393
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,120
Fucking actually care who your 
child is having sex. 

394
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,400
No why? 
That's what I would like. 

395
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800
It is a weird when you think 
about it, because that's what 

396
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,640
they always come down to as 
well. 

397
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:00,000
And it's that's like such a 
small part of being of any kind 

398
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,520
of sexual orientation. 
I mean, I was so she was like, 

399
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,240
tell your father. 
So obviously I went downstairs 

400
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,560
and I was like, no. 
And I and I told him I said I'm 

401
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,640
in Natalia. 
And he was like well why fuck 

402
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,360
me, my daddy's bad as well. 
Yeah, because you really thought

403
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,840
your dad was gonna give you a 
bit of support. 

404
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,720
But I think it is also because 
my daddy's brain doesn't tick on

405
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,000
all the same levels that he then
in his head was thinking. 

406
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,200
If you like men as well, why 
don't you just choose the easy 

407
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,200
option and just stay with a man?
And that's exactly what he said.

408
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Why don't you just make it easy 
for yourself? 

409
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,920
And I was like, OK, it's not 
like that. 

410
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,800
And then my dad just whatever. 
Earlier on in the day, I bought 

411
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,320
myself some, like, some vodka, 
some ice and some limes because 

412
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,240
I was going to make them kind of
Oscars because, like, they 

413
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,320
really wanted to try them. 
So I said, well, fuck you. 

414
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,800
I got the vodka and the ice and 
the limes. 

415
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,840
I was, like, crying, driving 
away over to my sister's house. 

416
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,080
I just, like, knocked on the 
door. 

417
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,280
And as soon as she saw me crying
and she's like, OK, yeah, I get 

418
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,720
it. 
I was in such a bad way because 

419
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,920
it was every everything that I 
had thought and more, you know? 

420
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,280
And I ended up having a few 
drinks with Megan. 

421
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280
And then I think Lauren, my 
other sister, spoke. 

422
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,440
To her on the phone just about 
to just come in there because 

423
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,880
you know, you've, we've spoken 
about this at great lengths. 

424
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,400
And I think the one amazing 
thing about this is that your 

425
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,280
sister's really rallied for you.
I mean, Megan you would expect 

426
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,880
because she'd been through it. 
But but also but Megan was 

427
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,640
getting the wrath as well 
because it was also like you're 

428
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,280
the gay sister. 
This has happened because of you

429
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,160
or the but Lauren. 
Also, you know, being the 

430
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,800
straight one, yeah, she she also
really defended you both and 

431
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,760
stuck up to your mum. 
And I think at that point as 

432
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,120
well, Lauren was always the 
voice of reason. 

433
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,080
Yeah. 
So for Lauren to come forward 

434
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:52,280
and say it and call out that 
injustice was a massive, I mean,

435
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,240
I turning point. 
I think if I could have done it 

436
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,560
differently, I wouldn't have 
been alone because it would have

437
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960
been much better to have had a 
room full of my sisters there or

438
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,160
like a good friend or whatever I
think. 

439
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,360
But I got fucking bamboos or 
didn't I? 

440
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,280
So I don't really have much of A
choice. 

441
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,840
I then. 
One of those things as well 

442
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,720
though where there is never a 
right time. 

443
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,160
No, there isn't a right there's.
A right time for you. 

444
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,600
There's never a right time for 
anyone else. 

445
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,000
Hey, look. 
I'm glad I did it right because 

446
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,240
look at me now. 
I'm very happy. 

447
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,880
But it but it's more so, you 
know, I, I went back to the 

448
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,520
house and I, you know, I said, 
look, I could be pregnant. 

449
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,880
I could be addicted to heroin. 
She was like, that would be 

450
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,080
easier to deal with. 
Jesus Christ. 

451
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,200
And then she's and I said, would
you rather I just didn't tell 

452
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,760
you then and just lie to you the
rest of my life? 

453
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,840
Yeah. 
Wow. 

454
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,160
And then she said, you just go 
swanning off into the sunset 

455
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,840
with your girlfriend. 
And I was like, wow. 

456
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,920
That sounds like a bit of 
jealousy. 

457
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,120
That's lovely, doesn't it? 
Sounds like a bit of jealousy. 

458
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:46,000
As far as I'm jealous and. 
And for the following weeks 

459
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,400
after that, I just got ignored. 
Like proper silent treatment 

460
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,800
just was. 
Yeah, but it made me feel how. 

461
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,960
Long did it take for? 
Her to see. 

462
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,760
How long did it take for her to 
come round roughly? 

463
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,000
Well idiot little bitch over 
here me I it was her birthday 

464
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,120
coming up in like 2 weeks after 
I came out. 

465
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800
So what did I do? 
I fucking throw a surprise 

466
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,000
birthday party while she was 
ignoring me. 

467
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,520
I was like yeah, but also trying
to mention this before. 

468
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,960
You are the beaten puppy. 
I am the beaten puppy. 

469
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,200
So yeah, I know. 
So it gets kicked, it's starved,

470
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720
it's riddled with worms, and 
it's like. 

471
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,480
All of those would bring. 
You a bit of like infested 

472
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,480
chicken carcass and Freya will 
throw you a surprise birthday. 

473
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,840
Yeah, literally not. 
Probably one of the best ideas 

474
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,200
you've ever had, darling. 
You know what? 

475
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:40,000
It's also probably not one of 
the worst. 

476
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,360
No, I've definitely done worse. 
I mean, it worked. 

477
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,040
She loved the party. 
OK, it's a great party back in 

478
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,400
her good books. 
And then I think over time, The 

479
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,920
thing is, is that she actually 
really liked my girlfriend as 

480
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,680
well. 
And then when Natalia came over,

481
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,720
I was like, right, well, I'm 
obviously not going to because 

482
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,360
at this point I was living at 
home with my parents. 

483
00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:59,160
I was like, obviously we're not 
going to stay here, so we'll go 

484
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,320
stay over at Megan's. 
She's like, no, I'm like, you 

485
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,200
actually joking? 
Oh my God. 

486
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,160
So even though she'd made your 
life hell over it, then when 

487
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,200
you'd been like, well, I'll go 
and stay somewhere else. 

488
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
No, no, no, no, no, you won't. 
Oh, no, you don't have to. 

489
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,640
Oh, don't be so. 
Were you allowed to stay in the 

490
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,920
same bedroom? 
Oh. 

491
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,240
No. 
OK. 

492
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,800
That's still snuck in there, 
yeah. 

493
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,240
But that's that is weird because
you're both like fully grown 

494
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,880
adults at this point. 
So again, yeah, it comes down to

495
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,480
a bit of a control thing, 
doesn't it? 

496
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,960
Because it's like she's. 
The same I don't. 

497
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,240
Necessarily want you here, but I
don't want you to go anywhere 

498
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,560
else anywhere else but if you 
stay here it has to be on my 

499
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,200
rules yes, which I really don't 
like like if my parents told me 

500
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,560
they just would never but I'd 
be. 

501
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,320
I think also I was like, I was 
really just like clinging to any

502
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,880
form of acceptance. 
So, you know, whether that 

503
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,560
looked like spare rooms or not. 
Yes. 

504
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,920
And I also didn't want to kick 
up a fuss about it because she'd

505
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,960
already been weird about the 
whole sexual thing and if I then

506
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,560
she wants it to be like. 
We're together, but we've never 

507
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,640
talked. 
With the best of friends, honey.

508
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,680
OK. 
Yeah, I kind of get that. 

509
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,880
Yeah, and but over time, you 
know, is what it is. 

510
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,920
I ended up just getting more and
more confident in my sexuality. 

511
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,680
She then very slowly figured out
that clearly it wasn't just 

512
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,280
Natalia, there were other girls 
because it. 

513
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Took until me. 
I. 

514
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Still like until me remember we 
were all sat down having 

515
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,000
breakfast and one day a remark 
was made like, oh, do you know? 

516
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480
But you're not you're not a 
lesbian. 

517
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,760
And I went yeah, she fucking is.
And she looked at phrase if to 

518
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,120
be like you taking the piss, 
bearing in mind I was her third 

519
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:34,480
girlfriend at this point. 
You'd also dated other girls. 

520
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,280
Yes. 
Yeah. 

521
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,560
And she was like appalled 
because I think she thought like

522
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,640
you were going to do a bit of a 
Libby May, if you don't know, 

523
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920
Libby May, by the way, is. 
Libby May with a boy, No. 

524
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,680
But she always does this stupid 
fucking TikTok. 

525
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,480
She was like, when I turned 30, 
I'm going to marry a man. 

526
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Oh, that one's annoying. 
I think your mum genuinely still

527
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,760
believed that you were going to 
end up with a man one day. 

528
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,640
So that was a second quite hard 
swallow to pillow. 

529
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,960
Swallow pillow. 
Swallow to pillow. 

530
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:07,440
Pillow to swallow, pill to 
swallow because she was 

531
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,600
convinced that this would be a. 
Tale I wasn't doing any 

532
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,040
swallowing at all. 
But I do just want to say that, 

533
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,280
you know, now she's amazing. 
She's amazing with me, has 

534
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,960
always been amazing with me as 
well. 

535
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,840
And day one has always been 
very, very welcome and very 

536
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,520
amazing. 
This is no tea, no shade on my 

537
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,840
mom because I actually love her 
so much, right? 

538
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:32,720
It's just the situation and that
moment, it was horrendous. 

539
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,800
You don't need to say that, I 
always feel like you have this 

540
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,720
guilt thing where you have to 
disclaim it but you loving your 

541
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,320
mum has got nothing to do with 
the fat. 

542
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,000
But that was fucking 
traumatising. 

543
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,480
For you, there's two things in 
this world that you can control,

544
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,440
and it's your reaction, but it's
not somebody else's actions. 

545
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,960
So you know your reaction to 
things is something that you 

546
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,880
have. 
God, I need to take that advice.

547
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,040
But but with somebody else's 
actions, you're not responsible.

548
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,440
There's nothing that you can do.
And I think the key take away 

549
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,440
that I would give to you guys if
you're either going through a 

550
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,720
similar thing have been or feel 
like you may reach a bad 

551
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,000
audience when you're coming out 
is that don't. 

552
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Do it until you're ready, first 
of all, to deal with that. 

553
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,600
To deal. 
With that, go bad. 

554
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,600
Make sure that you have a great 
support system around you if you

555
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,440
feel like it is a really 
dangerous. 

556
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,920
Environment and women say 
support system as well because I

557
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,320
think we're in a really 
privileged position and always 

558
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,440
have been where we've always had
amazing friends. 

559
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,160
Not everyone's in that position.
So we will make sure to tag a 

560
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,800
lot of amazing resources and 
places that and people that you 

561
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,320
can turn to. 
And also, this is one of the 

562
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,240
most incredible things about the
Internet now is that you can 

563
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,720
find your people online. 
So even though they may not 

564
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,160
physically be there, there are 
so many queer groups, queer 

565
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,680
spaces like you guys. 
I mean, there's us. 

566
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:55,240
Well, yeah, but that's the 
thing. 

567
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,640
Make friends in our comments, 
you know, like the lesbian 

568
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,960
horror, sorry, the lesbian 
heartbreak story. 

569
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,240
People are commenting underneath
saying, yeah, it was 

570
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,600
heartbreaking for me this 
happened, that happened. 

571
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,240
And I, I briefly see other 
people come in and sort of help 

572
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,120
help that person, which is 
amazing. 

573
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,280
We're all there. 
We've all been through the same 

574
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,720
thing. 
No matter what our coming out 

575
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,120
looked like, we're all going 
through the same thing. 

576
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,920
We've all had that worry for 
sure all. 

577
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,920
Had that worry, that anxiety, 
but also it's so cliche. 

578
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,520
It does get so much better. 
I think that when you start to 

579
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,120
really accept who you are as a 
well look. 

580
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,840
At you now you literally have a 
podcast called the Lesbians Saba

581
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,840
Club. 
Yeah, I if that. 

582
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,920
Doesn't say it all, then I don't
know what does. 

583
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:37,840
I'm scissoring left and right. 
That was a topic for another 

584
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,400
time, someone said. 
Yeah, actually. 

585
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:39,960
Scissor. 
I know. 

586
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,840
It's really interesting. 
An awful lot. 

587
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,280
Did you not make your Barbie 
scissor? 

588
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,280
That's how you know you're gay? 
I am my Barbie scissor. 

589
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,200
Yeah, that's why you're a 
lesbian. 

590
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,120
I. 
He walked into it every. 

591
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Time, I know, but I honestly am 
so glad that I did do it. 

592
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,600
It was a horrific story. 
I live to tell the tale. 

593
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:05,720
But but also I, you know, we are
here and we are very visible as 

594
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,000
lesbian women. 
I am so deeply happy to be gay. 

595
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,320
Back then, if somebody said to 
me you can be straight tomorrow,

596
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,040
I would have done it. 
Somebody said it to me. 

597
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Now I'd run for the fucking 
hills. 

598
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,800
I love being gay. 
And get us away. 

599
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,440
Yeah, I am. 
Shout out to those who are going

600
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,840
through a really shitty time. 
I'm looking at the dog right now

601
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,240
so this is really distracting. 
By the way, lovingly looking 

602
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,440
into my eyes like I am the best 
thing he's ever seen in his. 

603
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,000
Whole life come over to me 
first. 

604
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,360
Because I said to him, mummy and
your mummy, all right, piss off.

605
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,080
No, I'm Mum, Mum, Mum, Mum, mum 
and mummy. 

606
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,680
So my. 
Coming. 

607
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,600
But I want to hear, yeah, I want
to hear your coming out story 

608
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,720
because mine's very different. 
It's a lot lighter, but there 

609
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,240
was still, there was still some 
painful moments in it. 

610
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,320
So I grew up, I think a lot of 
you know this now. 

611
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,080
So I grew up in the depths of 
Somerset. 

612
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,000
So I've said it before, like I 
quite literally, I think for a 

613
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,120
period of time was the only gate
of the village village. 

614
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,960
Well the one that was definitely
only out. 

615
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,440
I mean I know there's loads down
there, yeah, I could probably 

616
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,240
name them all, but I'm not going
to do that. 

617
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,920
I'm going to out all of those 
straight men at the local pub. 

618
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,920
I fucking hate gay people all. 
Right, Jeffrey, we know you're 

619
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,240
taking out this is. 
Not a Jeffrey, but yeah. 

620
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:25,920
And so I had a lot of because I 
think you grew up in a really 

621
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,440
liberal place. 
No, no, you would think that 

622
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,160
Windsor was liberal. 
It wasn't. 

623
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,640
There was no one was gay when I 
was at school, obviously in the 

624
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,040
time that we were coming out, 
but that we were actually, I 

625
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,640
mean. 
With you being in quite close 

626
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,120
proximity to London, but you 
never actually really went to 

627
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,920
London as a child, did you? 
Oddly enough lived really close 

628
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:44,600
to it, but never. 
OK. 

629
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,200
So we both grew up in quite 
conservative places, so mine was

630
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,240
conservative. 
But then also, you know, like 

631
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,560
they're 20 years behind. 
So like we're living now in 

632
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,400
2023, they're living in 2000. 
And yours is definitely worse 

633
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,160
than Windsor for. 
Sure, yeah, Windsor was still 

634
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,880
quite progressive in the sense 
of like you live in the same 

635
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,440
time relatively, probably about 
3-3 years behind London. 

636
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Somerset is probably a good 20. 
So I mentioned this briefly 

637
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,800
before. 
Was in love with my best friend 

638
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,800
that didn't work out. 
Had a fling with someone else 

639
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,880
who it made me realise that it 
wasn't just one person that was 

640
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,280
definitely a rebound just to 
make sure that I was gay. 

641
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,920
And once I realised that I 
chucked that person. 

642
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,200
So yeah, had a bit of a fling 
with this person. 

643
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,560
It definitely validated what I 
wanted it to validate. 

644
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,440
Realised that me and this 
person, I mean they were 

645
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,880
absolutely lovely, but like I 
had honestly absolutely nothing 

646
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,240
in common. 
So I got up one day, walked out,

647
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,960
just never went. 
Like literally never showed up 

648
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,720
my face again. 
Met my first girlfriend in Bath,

649
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,760
which we all had the absolutely 
delight of hearing about in the 

650
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,760
heartbreak episode and kept 
going back and forth to Bath. 

651
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,480
And I kept dropping hints to my 
mom because me and my mom are 

652
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,400
super close. 
Like my mom is genuinely one of 

653
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,160
my best friends. 
Like I FaceTime her about three 

654
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,640
times a day. 
And other than Jessie Carson, I 

655
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,480
think my mom is one of the only 
people that can make me laugh. 

656
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,080
Like, I love her, but again, 
didn't know how she was going to

657
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,600
react because, like, we just 
hadn't ever been around gay 

658
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,920
people. 
Or, like, you know, she's never 

659
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,520
outwardly said anything really 
homophobic. 

660
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,880
I mean, they definitely say 
slurs down there, but it doesn't

661
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,520
come with hate. 
Right? 

662
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,520
So they say things that are 
problematic, but because it's 

663
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,920
just a regurgitation, not 
because they actually feel that 

664
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,920
way. 
Yeah, it's a really weird thing 

665
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,720
to say, but it is the truth. 
Like there were two gay men that

666
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,960
used to work at my auntie's pub 
and they'd come down from being 

667
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,400
upstairs and my nan would be 
like, you just had a bum in. 

668
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,440
And she loved him. 
She absolutely loved him. 

669
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,080
I'm going to go to the pub to 
see Paul and Chris. 

670
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,480
But she would just say things 
like that, right? 

671
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,960
So I just didn't really know. 
And my I kept dropping hints. 

672
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,440
Then one day my mum was like, is
that girl your girlfriend? 

673
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,120
And I was like, you know, this 
is my moment. 

674
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,280
So I just turned around and I 
was like, yeah, she is. 

675
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,160
And she just looked at me and 
went, what am I going to do 

676
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,520
about grandchildren? 
I was like, mum, are you that 

677
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,720
fucking thick? 
I can still have kids. 

678
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,120
And she just went all right 
then. 

679
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,000
And that was it. 
And I was like. 

680
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,240
This is the best story. 
Ever. 

681
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,120
Anyway, told my mum, didn't 
really feel the need to tell 

682
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,120
anyone else, didn't tell my dad 
even though my dad literally 

683
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,560
adores me and me and him are 
also really close. 

684
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,600
He comes from quite a devout 
Catholic background and again, 

685
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:53,200
he'd he's my dad's super, super 
liberal, but I'd never, I think 

686
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,600
because I was always such a 
straight girl as well, I think. 

687
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,480
As well, you always live with 
the fear of never being that 

688
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,280
same person that your parents 
adore. 

689
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,200
Yes, right. 
So you, you, you feel guilty 

690
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440
about taking that away from 
them, even though you're not. 

691
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,880
You're just being yourself and 
you're always who you were. 

692
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,239
You. 
You fear that they're just going

693
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,679
to turn around and be like, no 
more. 

694
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,639
Yeah. 
And and, you know, in a way it 

695
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,320
would have been easier if I'd 
had those kind of hints about, 

696
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,560
you know, I don't know, like the
the the classic hints that down 

697
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,400
in Somerset you'd be at Vash on 
lesbian, which is wrong. 

698
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,040
But if I'd have like shaved my 
hair or got tattoos or, and then

699
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,320
because I just was so straight 
passing, particularly at that 

700
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,120
time, because I was trying to 
just actually blend with all of 

701
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,560
those around me, it just would 
have never have crossed their 

702
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,920
minds like ever. 
Whereas Lewis was saying, you 

703
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,880
know, his parents knew before he
knew pretty much. 

704
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,639
And sometimes that makes it 
easier. 

705
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,639
So hadn't told my dad for the 
first year and a half of dating 

706
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,920
my girlfriend. 
And then it was New Year's Eve 

707
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,560
and we were, I was out with my 
girlfriend and two of my best 

708
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,960
friends from home who also grew 
up with my dad. 

709
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,560
So knew him really well because 
we'd often, you know, go to like

710
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,240
Thorpe Park together and he'd 
take us all shopping and things 

711
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:07,680
like that. 
And I, I said to them, I was 

712
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,560
like, oh, my dad. 
Like, I still haven't told him. 

713
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,440
I've just, it's just one of 
those things, like I just really

714
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,200
didn't know how to say it. 
I wasn't even particularly 

715
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,080
scared, but it was like, how do 
I just drop this into 

716
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,280
conversation? 
So because they know him so 

717
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,960
well, they were like, well, if 
you don't ring and tell him now 

718
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,240
we will. 
And can I just PSA this by 

719
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,720
saying that wasn't them forcing 
me to come out. 

720
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:30,120
My friends know me very, very, 
very well and they know my dad 

721
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,400
very, very well. 
It wasn't like a pressuring 

722
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,080
like, well, we're going to out 
you. 

723
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,400
It was like, we know he's going 
to be absolutely fine. 

724
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,480
So if you don't do it, we'll do 
it for you. 

725
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,240
That kind of thing. 
So at that point, he rings me 

726
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,400
because it was New Year's to be 
like, happy New Year's. 

727
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,360
I'm going to ring you before 
it's 12:00. 

728
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,560
And it goes absolutely mad. 
And I was like, what you're 

729
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,920
doing is like, I'm having a bit 
of a like house party, a few few

730
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,640
friends around. 
And I was like, OK, well, I've 

731
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,720
got something to tell you. 
And he was like. 

732
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,520
What? 
Because my dad has also with 

733
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,720
some things like, you know, I'll
never forget once I drove around

734
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:09,200
his house and the the tread on 
my tyres was well, it was non 

735
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,200
existence. 
And he was like, get round to 

736
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,240
the garage now, like he could 
get really angry about the not 

737
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:21,680
the weirdest shit, but dad shit,
dad shit, like the classic 

738
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,600
stuff. 
And he's like, what? 

739
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,240
And I was like, oh, fuck. 
And I just went I'm gay. 

740
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,440
And he he just in the most 
calmest way ever, just went 

741
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,520
Scarlett. 
I don't give a fuck. 

742
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,600
And I was like, oh, and it was. 
That was the biggest relief. 

743
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,360
I think I broke down in tears 
because even though I think I 

744
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,960
knew deep down he'd be OK, 
there's. 

745
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,320
Sort of worry. 
And I, and as well, I think it's

746
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,920
because I know how much my dad 
loves me. 

747
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,120
I really didn't want to let him 
down. 

748
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,560
And then my stepmom told me that
apparently he put the hung the 

749
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,040
phone up, went into the house 
party where all the music was 

750
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,960
going off, turned off all of the
music, looked up to everyone in 

751
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,440
the house, and went. 
I just want everyone here to 

752
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,360
know that Scarlett's a lesbian 
and if any of you don't like it,

753
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,560
you can get the fuck out of my 
house now. 

754
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,720
Like. 
And that's legend status. 

755
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:16,840
That is your legend and. 
Like ever since then, like both 

756
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,320
my parents have always been 
incredible, amazing. 

757
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,680
The only person I had a problem 
with was my nan, who I was also 

758
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,400
really really close. 
If still am like a second mum. 

759
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,800
So my mum's mum and me and my 
mum had kind of always just 

760
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,760
hidden it from her and I don't 
know why. 

761
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,760
It wasn't like my mum had ever 
asked me to. 

762
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,120
It was just an unspoken thing 
where we just didn't mention 

763
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,080
that side of me to Nan. 
So we'd all be out shopping and 

764
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,280
she'd see someone and be asked a
nice bit of stuff for you Scar. 

765
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,720
And I'd be mum would just look 
at me and like roll her eyes and

766
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:51,600
just be like go along with it. 
And I'd be like, yeah, whilst 

767
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,920
I'm literally like my vagina is 
turning inwards. 

768
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,160
Does it usually turn outwards? 
Maybe you wouldn't know. 

769
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,080
You don't go near it enough. 
I'm joking. 

770
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:09,120
So yeah, this had gone on for 
ages. 

771
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,480
And I then got to a point where 
I did start dropping hints. 

772
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,960
And she definitely knew, but she
was playing fucking dumb for her

773
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,480
own purpose. 
Like not satisfaction, but for 

774
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,640
her own comfort. 
And then it was my, I was either

775
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,200
my mum's 50th, like a big 
birthday. 

776
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,280
I think it was my mum's 50th and
we were talking about who was 

777
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,480
going to come and I said, well, 
obviously me and my girlfriend 

778
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,440
are going to come. 
And she was like, oh Scarlett, 

779
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,840
you know, Nan's going to be 
there. 

780
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,960
And I was like, so she was like,
well, you know, it's going to be

781
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,360
awkward. 
I don't want to cause a thing 

782
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,600
about that. 
And at that point I just lost my

783
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,800
fucking time because I've been 
with this person for over 2 

784
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,600
years. 
My cousins had boyfriends coming

785
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,320
in and out every fucking six 
months. 

786
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,360
They could come to every family 
event ever. 

787
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,400
And I was just like, do you know
what? 

788
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,000
At this point, the level of 
fucking disrespect because I at 

789
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,840
this point as well, I got so 
confident in my own sexuality. 

790
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,280
That you couldn't give a flying 
fuck. 

791
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,800
I don't. 
Care if people don't like me for

792
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,720
being gay? 
Show me as soon as possible so I

793
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,440
can boot you the fuck out of my 
life, yeah? 

794
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,520
Especially when it comes to 
family members. 

795
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:07,800
Like, man, she just fuck you, 
Mum. 

796
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,400
Me and mum didn't have an 
argument about it. 

797
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,040
Actually. 
It was more me flying off the 

798
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,680
handle. 
I think of the kind of the, the 

799
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:21,320
secretness that I'd had to keep 
him for so long that I blew up, 

800
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,360
packed my stuff and drove back 
to London because I was at home 

801
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,600
at this point and I. 
Was like, you know what? 

802
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,280
Fuck it, like I don't care, 
didn't say anything. 

803
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,440
Obviously my mum was then so 
upset, had gone round to my 

804
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,080
nan's and been like, look, you 
cannot put this strain on the 

805
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,360
family anymore. 
Like Scarlett's gay and you have

806
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,840
to accept it whether you like it
or not. 

807
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,400
So my mum's actually a legend 
for doing that and I wish I had 

808
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,880
the text and I tried to find it 
and I couldn't. 

809
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,080
But about two days later, I 
received a text from my Nan and 

810
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,560
it went something like Scarlett,
this is your nan as if her 

811
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,080
number doesn't come up on my 
phone with their contact 

812
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,920
details. 
I just want you to know that me 

813
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:09,280
and Charlie love you very much 
and I am sorry if I've ever made

814
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,120
you feel a certain way, but you 
have to understand it was 

815
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,440
different when me and Charlie 
growing up. 

816
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,680
And I'm thinking, well, it 
wasn't. 

817
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,120
People just went out or you were
just too. 

818
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,880
Blind really quickly before you 
say this. 

819
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,040
I feel like so many people find 
comfort in using their 

820
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,240
generation to back up their own 
bigotry. 

821
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,080
And I fucking it's not OK. 
It's not OK a great. 

822
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,280
Excuse, carry on. 
Anyway, she goes on to say all 

823
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,400
this and then basically was 
like, if you're in love with 

824
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:41,280
this person and you're happy, 
then I'm happy to love you 

825
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,000
always Nan. 
And then that was it. 

826
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
And then she was fine. 
But I did hold on to her 

827
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,280
projection of homophobia for a 
while. 

828
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,760
And so we met actually, and I 
was so nervous to introduce. 

829
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
I've been. 
I'd again had two girlfriends 

830
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,760
long term. 
They'd met my No, they hadn't. 

831
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,360
One had, one hadn't kind of kept
them away because I was just 

832
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,360
really awkward by this point. 
She hadn't said anything bad. 

833
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,560
It just made me so awkward. 
So my Nan's a massive country 

834
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,760
song. 
Sorry country music enthusiast. 

835
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,240
So I was so nervous of her 
meeting Freya. 

836
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Within literally 2 minutes of 
Freya coming through the door, I

837
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,880
threw a guitar in Freya's laugh 
and was like sing for her 

838
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,480
because it was like that was my 
brain's way of breaking the ice.

839
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,160
And to be fair to me, I mean it 
worked. 

840
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,600
That was a good she was. 
Stroking my leg. 

841
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,160
Within no time I was playing 
that she. 

842
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,800
Yeah. 
And now my nan is so fucking 

843
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,400
funny, like she loves Freya more
than me. 

844
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,160
And we were all sat at her house
a few months ago and sadly my 

845
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,920
granddad passed away last year. 
And we were all talking and 

846
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,720
Freya came over and just gave me
a kiss on the cheek and she went

847
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,280
oh isn't that lovely? 
And then she just looked up out 

848
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,000
of no and went do you think I 
could be a lesbian? 

849
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,480
And Freya looked up and was 
like, well, I don't know, Nan, 

850
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,640
do you reckon you could? 
Well, I think I could, but I 

851
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,840
couldn't do all that licking 
and. 

852
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,160
We were like. 
Probably not. 

853
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,960
Then no, I didn't say probably 
not. 

854
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,160
I said that's fine, you just be 
a pillow pillow Princess. 

855
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,520
What's that? 
But don't you worry, you'll find

856
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,240
out. 
But. 

857
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:19,840
But yeah my whole family now are
absolutely fine. 

858
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,240
I was really blessed. 
My 2 closest friends, when they 

859
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,480
came out, they literally laughed
in my face and was like do you 

860
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,040
think we're fucking blind? 
We know I've been crying over a 

861
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,920
girl. 
For the past five years, as if 

862
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,600
it wasn't obvious that I was in 
love with her. 

863
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,080
I mean, we always think that 
it's not obvious, but yeah, it 

864
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,440
was obvious. 
Yeah. 

865
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,760
And yeah, I was really lucky by 
then, everyone surrounded with 

866
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,360
me. 
I had a couple of bigotry 

867
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,640
comments from like family 
members. 

868
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,680
Once my auntie looked up to me 
and was like, oh, you're gay. 

869
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,680
And I was like, yeah, I thought 
she knew. 

870
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,760
She was like, oh, why? 
It's disgusting. 

871
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,920
And I looked up and I was like, 
yeah, a bit like you having a 

872
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,800
different boyfriend every 
fucking three months for the 

873
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,400
past six years. 
But I don't look up and say 

874
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,680
anything, do I? 
No, you fucking should. 

875
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,520
Well I did. 
I did look up and said that and 

876
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,320
that shot her down. 
I'm not slut shaming anyone, but

877
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,360
it was more like it. 
Was more like, you're coming to 

878
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,560
judge me. 
It's more the earth. 

879
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,160
That's what gets this done. 
I'm facing your growth. 

880
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,480
One thing I could say that, 
yeah. 

881
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,400
No, it's a pretty good one. 
It's pretty good comeback, I 

882
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,320
mean. 
I'm quick because. 

883
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,560
I remember that when you are 
very quick it's actually fucking

884
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,720
annoying when I when I went to 
an all girls school which was 

885
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:27,520
literally like a factory of just
cunts everywhere and in the 

886
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,480
worst way. 
Possible factory, not the kind 

887
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,080
that we'd like. 
Yeah, shit cunts. 

888
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:38,000
And, and it was it really was 
like lesbian. 

889
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,600
They'd be like like it was 
everything was like, do you know

890
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,280
that she kisses girls or like 
there was this one girl who was 

891
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,240
obviously a lesbian and it was 
like, stay away, don't let her 

892
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:49,480
look at you. 
When, whenever like we were in 

893
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,480
the changing room, they were 
like, oh, she's walking in hide,

894
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,160
hide your tits, like those kind 
of stuff. 

895
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,720
Meanwhile I'm there like ello 
tits. 

896
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,160
Jokes so bad. 
I didn't want to fuck any of 

897
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,880
them, they were all ugly. 
PSA so all of those straight 

898
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,040
girls are like, Oh no, she's a 
lesbian. 

899
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,760
She's going to fancy me. 
It makes me feel uncomfortable. 

900
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,840
You being straight and a female 
doesn't make you any higher than

901
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,240
A2. 
No, like you you do you know 

902
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:15,440
what I mean? 
Yeah, it doesn't suddenly make 

903
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,520
you attractive. 
So and also probably fine. 

904
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,320
That attitude sends that rating 
straight down to the that guy 

905
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:22,840
Sarah. 
No one's going to want to touch 

906
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,640
you with a 10 foot barge pile. 
So you're fine. 

907
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,600
You're absolutely fine. 
I hate it when girls say that. 

908
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:29,720
Oh, it's. 
The one it's going to. 

909
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,560
Fancy me? 
No, I've got a pair of fucking 

910
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:33,800
eyes. 
Trust me, I'm not. 

911
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,880
I've also got a pair of ears and
the shit that comes out of your 

912
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,160
mouth even if you're a 10. 
I wouldn't. 

913
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,200
I have to. 
Two drinks I'd probably consider

914
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,400
it, but before that I would 
never. 

915
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,120
So on the coming out story, we 
kind of mentioned this during Do

916
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,600
it when you're ready. 
Yes. 

917
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,200
Freya's advice would be 
different to mine, so I'm going 

918
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,400
to give mine, and I know that 
I'm in a privileged space to be 

919
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,120
able to say this. 
Do it when you're ready. 

920
00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:03,560
You will lose people and I know 
even if some of those are family

921
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,040
members I couldn't actually 
imagine so I can't really 

922
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,000
comment on that. 
But definitely friends, 

923
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,960
acquaintances. 
Fuck em. 

924
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,040
Do you not just fuck them? 
If you tell them and they react 

925
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,120
badly? 
Thank you and fuck you goodbye. 

926
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,600
It will make space for you to be
freer in yourself and find 

927
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,040
people who love you just for who
you are. 

928
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:30,000
Like even when I was in the 
midst of worrying and I was 

929
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,320
lucky because a lot of people 
did accept me, but people don't 

930
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,000
accept me every day now for 
being gay. 

931
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:37,120
You know, we meet people every 
day who don't accept me or us. 

932
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,200
It doesn't bother me because I 
don't care because I'm so happy.

933
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,960
And I think that's the biggest 
piece of advice I can give is 

934
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:46,840
hold out going through, you 
know, keep hold of yourself 

935
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,600
going through the, the trauma 
and the, the difficulty that 

936
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,400
will be coming out. 
Because I'm not sure if it ever 

937
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,720
is 100% easy because it will 
always be very emotionally 

938
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:00,000
fueled, even if it's positive. 
So I think everyone's always 

939
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,560
struggles with it, but know that
you will come out the other side

940
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,080
eventually and you will never 
regret it. 

941
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,200
No. 
You'll never regret it. 

942
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,120
You would regret never coming 
out and living a life. 

943
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,800
Yeah, you've really got to be 
true to yourself because I think

944
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,720
about all those years that I 
beat myself up and wasted, and I

945
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,880
did waste it. 
And like I said before, I'm so 

946
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,400
incredibly comfortable now. 
The only thing that I can say to

947
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,760
you is make sure you're in a 
safe space to do it. 

948
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,720
Yes and no. 
But also, you know, I do 

949
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:38,400
genuinely think that we're also 
not here to educate other 

950
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,480
people. 
I think that the resources are 

951
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,200
there for everyone. 
They have to be fucking blind 

952
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,640
and deaf to not be able to know 
that gay people exist. 

953
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,360
And we are very happy. 
We can live very fulfilling 

954
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:48,000
lives. 
Yeah. 

955
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,760
Don't also let them say, you 
know, I'm just worried about you

956
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,320
because of what this might look 
like for your life. 

957
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,320
No, no, no, no. 
Our lives are great, OK. 

958
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,320
We've been and. 
You had amazing jobs, you. 

959
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,360
Do have the odd thing that 
happens, you know, and that's 

960
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,120
just due to big to people 
everywhere. 

961
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,320
But honestly, just live your 
live your truth and come out and

962
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,960
do what's best for you. 
And just know that there is a 

963
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,600
massive community behind you 
that will love and support you 

964
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,600
no matter what. 
Absolutely, yeah. 

965
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,280
I wish you all the best of luck.
If you're looking at doing it 

966
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,320
and if you have done it and 
you've had a bad experience, 

967
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,480
then I'm so sorry, but I'm right
there with you. 

968
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,880
Ben, you will also find your 
way. 

969
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,240
You will find your way 
eventually you will. 

970
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,480
So Marcelo, our producer just 
made a very good point there in 

971
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,000
the background that we will, 
we're going to just mention is, 

972
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,760
you know, when, when and people 
make comments about, oh, you 

973
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,360
fancy the same sex, like that's 
disgusting, or your two boys or 

974
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,640
your two girls. 
And it's actually quite funny 

975
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,680
because they're talking about, 
these people are talking about 

976
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,560
themselves. 
So if you're a man saying that 

977
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,040
you find 2 men disgusting, 
you're basically saying you find

978
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,400
yourself disgusting. 
And the same with a woman. 

979
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:55,360
So that's actually a very 
bizarre angle to yeah. 

980
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,680
How bizarre being like, oh, so 
you're like going down on girls 

981
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:58,800
then? 
But it's like, but do you not 

982
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,520
like? 
I mean, in all fairness, I don't

983
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,320
understand. 99% of the time now 
I actually get straight women 

984
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,120
say to me I fucking hate my 
husband. 

985
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,560
I'm disgraced that I'm gay, I'm 
straight. 

986
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,040
I wish that. 
I was gay. 

987
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,480
You're, so the tables have 
turned. 

988
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,480
Not even in the way where, like,
I wish it could be of a woman 

989
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,880
because it'd be easier as in 
like, fuck me, I really, really 

990
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,200
wish that I was gay. 
Yeah. 

991
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,960
So the tables are turning. 
They are. 

992
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,200
They're turning. 
But yeah, that's a really good 

993
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,320
point. 
Yeah, for sure. 

994
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,600
So on a much lighter note, but 
it's not, it's not light on the 

995
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,760
stomach. 
We've now got Horror Story, 

996
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,160
which I'm going to get Freya to 
read out. 

997
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:43,680
So today's Horror Story is next 
level like I this out to me 

998
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,920
earlier and I was like, oh man, 
but we got to say it because I 

999
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,880
can't I can't keep this one away
from you guys. 

1000
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,600
So this has come from a I'm 
going to keep her anonymous 

1001
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,000
because I think she might need 
it. 

1002
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,280
You asked for horror stories 
about a year ago. 

1003
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,880
I went down on a very hot girl, 
or tried to. 

1004
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,960
It turned out that she had a 
really bad executive dysfunction

1005
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,120
which made it very difficult for
her to shower. 

1006
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,960
I found this out because I dove 
down very enthusiastically, 

1007
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,840
touched her with my tongue, and 
immediately threw up. 

1008
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:18,320
In fairness, there was alcohol 
involved, but it's probably the 

1009
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,600
most embarrassing thing that's 
ever happened to me. 

1010
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,520
Yes, I literally threw up on 
this poor girl's crotch. 

1011
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,560
I still think she should have 
said something when my face 

1012
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,840
started descending, given that 
she had to have known that she 

1013
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:35,040
hadn't showered in weeks. 
She only told me this after I 

1014
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,480
profusely apologised while 
sobbing because I literally 

1015
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,280
threw up on her pussy because it
tasted so foul. 

1016
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,040
She goes. 
Please don't mention my name if 

1017
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,920
you do tell this story and I'll 
be able to go out of public 

1018
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,280
again. 
OK, look. 

1019
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,600
Oh. 
God, wow, Oh no, right. 

1020
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,120
I've got a lot to say on this. 
So first of all, very much 

1021
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:01,120
understands that some people 
have physical and mental health 

1022
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:07,520
issues which make it much more 
difficult for them to keep their

1023
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,640
personal hygiene app. 
Right, that's just a preface. 

1024
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,160
We know that, okay, This is not 
the point of the story. 

1025
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:21,600
That is fucking disgusting. 
That is disgusting. 

1026
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,040
You're a dirty. 
Bastard, Nan would say. 

1027
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,520
Dirty old bastard. 
Just get a bit of Imperial 

1028
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,440
Leather up there. 
What's wrong with it? 

1029
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,200
Well, Thrush and BV Nan but. 
Yeah. 

1030
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:34,760
That is no. 
Do you? 

1031
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,680
Know what it is the not telling.
It's the not telling, right? 

1032
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,360
It's just a bit like rude. 
If you know that you have this 

1033
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,240
problem, you're probably not 
best off engaging in oral sex 

1034
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,760
with someone or. 
Any kind of sex, I'm sorry, 

1035
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,040
don't dismiss. 
You because like you would see 

1036
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,400
them go because like even like 
no. 

1037
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,840
I'm sorry because even if you 
were to. 

1038
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,960
But also you think about the 
amount of public toilets that 

1039
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:04,640
they've used as well. 
I can only hope they write wipe 

1040
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,280
front to back and not back to 
front. 

1041
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,040
Just a bit of poo. 
That's just come into my mind. 

1042
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,280
Yeah, you say not oral anything.
I wouldn't even want to strap 

1043
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,440
someone who'd not showered and 
weeds because you'd smell it. 

1044
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,440
I'd probably fucking pass out. 
And then as you'd pass out, 

1045
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,360
you'd pass out into their pussy.
That would just be my. 

1046
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,680
Wearing a strap on. 
Oh, I just. 

1047
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Yeah, no, I'm really sorry 
because like, that is a really? 

1048
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,640
Did she? 
I have a question though. 

1049
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,960
Did you not smell it before you 
put your tongue on that though? 

1050
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,440
Because I feel like you've been 
drunk. 

1051
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,640
I feel like me and you are very 
very sensitive to smells though,

1052
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,960
so this may not. 
Apply to the general and she. 

1053
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,960
Drove down so she was dedicated 
to the purse, which. 

1054
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,120
I respect the dedication to the 
purse, but I also feel like you 

1055
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,800
would smell that if I can mile 
away shortly. 

1056
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,600
Depends. 
Depends what the girl was 

1057
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,040
wearing and as you say as well, 
like sometimes like my perfume. 

1058
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,960
It's not her fault. 
No, babe, it's not your. 

1059
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:58,680
Fault. 
Sorry. 

1060
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,880
My perfume's quite strong that I
don't really. 

1061
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,440
I can smell my perfume a lot 
when I'm walking around, so I 

1062
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,120
don't. 
No, sorry. 

1063
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,640
I don't necessarily always 
detect other smells. 

1064
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:13,160
Yeah, because I'm smelling my 
own smell. 

1065
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,080
But I think that she just owed 
her that common courtesy to just

1066
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,640
say absolutely, let's not do 
this right now, absolutely. 

1067
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,880
And she didn't even have to say 
that she has this issue. 

1068
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,120
She could just say no, I'm not 
failing. 

1069
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,680
She could have said, look I do 
have an issue, I've not showered

1070
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,800
in a few weeks and go down there
take a whiff and if let me know 

1071
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,600
if you fancy it and if not no 
worries. 

1072
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,880
I imagine it to be like you 
don't have a pink. 

1073
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,560
You know, yeah, they will. 
You know, when like you've just 

1074
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,840
bought a load of cheese and then
you open up the fridge door? 

1075
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,560
I imagine it to be like that, 
worse gone off milk. 

1076
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,320
I quite like that smell. 
Maybe. 

1077
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,600
Me and you would be fucking 
great. 

1078
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,200
Maybe you'd be great. 
That's another charity, Dirty 

1079
00:52:50,200 --> 00:53:01,200
Purse Charity. 
The Dirty Purse Foundation. 

1080
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,360
The DPS. 
Yeah, I can't. 

1081
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,480
I'm just so, so grateful. 
I've never. 

1082
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,960
I've never encountered that I 
can actually safely. 

1083
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,280
Say that I've never. 
Yeah, obviously all vagina 

1084
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,560
smells and tastes stiff right in
it. 

1085
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:17,600
None of it is. 
Ever. 

1086
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,760
You know when there's a? 
Problem. 

1087
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,560
Oh, you know when and again, we 
all get BV, right? 

1088
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:22,960
We do. 
We all get BV. 

1089
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,800
But that again is also very 
because that's not a cleanliness

1090
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:26,840
thing. 
That's actually a dog best 

1091
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,160
friendliest thing. 
Dog biscuits and a packet of 

1092
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,160
skips. 
But that's very different. 

1093
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,520
Oh, what a lovely dessert. 
I love skips. 

1094
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,880
Spit out for a couple cocktails,
nothing in the fridge. 

1095
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,400
I'll munch on that pussy because
it's some dog biscuits and a bag

1096
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,720
of skips. 
I need to get rid of this 

1097
00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:49,880
microphone. 
Put it in the bin. 

1098
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,360
Yeah, put the mic. 
I need to put myself in the bin.

1099
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,520
Yeah. 
Well, so to this person, I mean,

1100
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,440
you are, you're actually an 
Angel for crying and 

1101
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,640
apologising. 
I would have been calling it out

1102
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,320
way before this person told me 
that she had an executive 

1103
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,000
dysfunction disorder because I 
would have literally just been 

1104
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,720
like, I don't know if you've 
noticed, but that reeks. 

1105
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,560
And that's why I've had to 
vomit, because that was like 

1106
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:24,800
jumping into a Victorian sewage.
What now? 

1107
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,560
She now she has. 
Oh, imagine if she didn't. 

1108
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:29,800
No, Imagine if she didn't clean 
it. 

1109
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,160
Or after it got vomited on as 
well. 

1110
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:37,000
Maybe that's why it smells so 
bad, because every girl just 

1111
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,680
keeps vomiting on her. 
It's like the. 

1112
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,720
Human Caterpillar, but the 
pussy, the human centipede. 

1113
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:43,280
I'm. 
The Caterpillar. 

1114
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,680
We've really taken this too far 
to the girl, I'm sorry that ever

1115
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,000
happened to you. 
I hope that doesn't put you off 

1116
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,800
vagina and to any of those 
straight in quotation marks 

1117
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,640
girls that listen to this 
podcast, let me tell you 

1118
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,960
statistically, and this is a 
made-up statistic in my head 

1119
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:05,360
that I fucking. 
Know 99.9%. 99.9999% of pussy 

1120
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:11,080
tastes like vanilla and sugar 
and I can guarantee that that 

1121
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:17,000
pussy is 99.999% cleaner than 
the smeg that is building. 

1122
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,240
Around your ex-boyfriend. 
'S bell end. 

1123
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,920
OK, that was. 
Was. 

1124
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,720
True. 
That was beautiful. 

1125
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:28,040
You bring Smeg into the 
conversation. 

1126
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,200
It's true. 
Once you bring, I can't. 

1127
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,400
Go through an episode of The 
Lesbian Supper Club without 

1128
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,120
dicking on men. 
So true. 

1129
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,360
Anyway, that is it for today's 
episode. 

1130
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,120
Thank you guys so much. 
Honestly, it just gets better 

1131
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:42,560
and better as far as I'm 
concerned. 

1132
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:47,600
My advice for today's episode is
wash your Bajaj, come out Bajaj,

1133
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:53,320
be gay, be proud classic and 
wash your puss puss. 

1134
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,560
Use back balance active clean 
your bajean. 

1135
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,880
Don't spray it though. 
Because then you will get nose 

1136
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,600
spray nose just. 
Just a bit of water. 

1137
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,240
There are products out there, I 
mean. 

1138
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:07,400
I Oh my God, are you? 
Gonna say what I personally use.

1139
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,360
No, that's wrong. 
Well, yeah. 

1140
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,600
Until Fem Fresh want to sponsor?
No, until Aesop want to fucking 

1141
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,080
sponsor us, I'm not going to go 
into how I use their products. 

1142
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,600
Anyway, thank you guys. 
We love you. 

1143
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,040
Thank you. 
We'll catch you next week. 

1144
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,560
Catch you next week, guys. 
Bye. 

1145
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:28,760
