Speaker 3: let's talk about you? Are you the big star?
Speaker 1: Now? It depends what I mean. Listen, we can we
Speaker 1: can talk about what.
Speaker 3: Oh and you were scrabbling around the floor for cigarette
Speaker 3: but no, and I'm kidding, kidding no. And one of
Speaker 3: my friends said to me that guy is super hot.
Speaker 3: He's the target. And I was like this for what
Speaker 3: for Channel four? For us?
Speaker 2: The target? We could have a we could have a
Speaker 2: double bill. We do you wasted black taking women? The target?
Speaker 3: The target? Because when did you start? How old were

Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thirty one when you started.
Speaker 3: Well, I just had Max. Max is now eighteen, and
Speaker 3: I started. I just had Max. I started doing stand
Speaker 3: up when he was six months old. Wow, no, six
Speaker 3: weeks old. I'll tell us six weeks old, six weeks old,
Speaker 3: because I was so yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember, like what your first bit was? Like?
Speaker 2: I also may asked why why then? Why had you
Speaker 2: always wanted to do? What happened that you were like,
Speaker 2: I'm doing it now.
Speaker 3: So my first job was at the Guild of Bloon
Speaker 3: when I was seventeen. And for those of you who
Speaker 3: don't know about the Guild of Balloon, the Guild of
Speaker 3: Balloon back in the day was the sort of mecca
Speaker 3: for stand ups in Edinburgh, and you'd go there and
Speaker 3: I remember, actually the Guild of bloone I loved Eddie
Speaker 3: Izard and Eddie back then was extraordinary and undiscovered and
Speaker 3: they were amazing. And I remember Eddie doing this great
Speaker 3: set and it was all improvised and amazing. And the
Speaker 3: next day went to see them and it was the
Speaker 3: same extraordinary, improvised set and I was like, what the
Speaker 3: fuck you've been I've been had. But also I love
Speaker 3: chats people. My biggest champion, and my greatest thenfalls I'm
Speaker 3: interested in people. Yeah, so I love people. And my
Speaker 3: husband's always like, you just asked that one extra question
Speaker 3: and you get the whole fucking shit storm, and I
Speaker 3: love the extra question. So I yeah, I loved it,
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, and so that sucked me
Speaker 3: into the comedy thing so effectively. I grew up in
Speaker 3: Edinburgh that my first edinary festival was when I was ten.
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty three was my first Edar festival. I saw
Speaker 3: You're a Good Boy Charlie Brown by a theater company
Speaker 3: from New York, and I joined the circus.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 3: That's mad, isn't it. It's cool. My mother wouldn't tell
Speaker 3: you it's cool, but you know, I think it's cool.
Speaker 1: But you ever you.
Speaker 2: I think the show I saw of yours it was
Speaker 2: basically you telling secrets and having like you're very good
Speaker 2: at yes you.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So that's an odd So the secrets show.
Speaker 3: I have a theory that if you keep secrets, everything
Speaker 3: is damned because it's a really bad thing to do.
Speaker 3: And during the show that I did about other people's secrets,
Speaker 3: I think sitting on secrets is damaging and also now
Speaker 3: that I'm doing my neuroscience masters, there is.
Speaker 1: Then no and I want to hear about that.
Speaker 3: I'm think a master is in neuroscience and psychology and
Speaker 3: there's thing called transgenerational trauma that passes down and alters
Speaker 3: your brain shape. And during that show I said about
Speaker 3: how bad secrets were for people and if you keep
Speaker 3: stuff in, I think it's really detrimental to your mental health.
Speaker 3: And England we're playing really badly in that. I want
Speaker 3: to say World Cup. With the World Cup in two
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, two nine, it must have been remember Anyway,
Speaker 3: the whole thing about way really came out during other
Speaker 3: and I do think secrets are really bad. Needs to
Speaker 3: free yourself from all that ship. But anyway, and I've
Speaker 3: discovered as well throughout my neuroscience journey that stand up
Speaker 3: or the yogo I do, it's all about helping people.
Speaker 1: I love that. Are you teaching yoga as well?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did it all through lockdown. Yeah. I did
Speaker 3: my yoga teacher training in India years ago, and then
Speaker 3: during lockdown, I can't do that. I couldn't do the
Speaker 3: did you do like stand up gigs online? During lockdown? I?
Speaker 2: Yes, I had a whole journey of like I would
Speaker 2: never do them to be desperate that I did them.
Speaker 2: They were so funny, weird.
Speaker 3: What you do or you're fucking buffering great.
Speaker 2: The worst, the weirdest part of it was well, in
Speaker 2: the early days of it, they didn't even know work
Speaker 2: out how to do audience sounds, so you just played
Speaker 2: the silence in my attic. And the worst part I
Speaker 2: always thought was when you when it finished and you
Speaker 2: just press you know, leave group, and then suddenly you're
Speaker 2: just in your attic and it was so real and
Speaker 2: you'd be like, what the fuck do just happened?
Speaker 3: I totally understand why there's so many alcoholics in common.
Speaker 3: You're like, I'm the king of the world and I'm
Speaker 3: going to go home and sit in a room on
Speaker 3: my own. Yeah, I'm king of the world and now
Speaker 3: I'm alone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I'm in a bath in a weird hotel.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So yeah, I found lockdown tricky. Anyway, how
Speaker 3: did you find lockdown?
Speaker 2: I listened. I was incredibly, incredibly lucky in that I
Speaker 2: was working. We were writing on Zoom, So if I
Speaker 2: hadn't had a job, I would have lost my damn mind.
Speaker 3: I've had a lot of time off. I've had a
Speaker 3: long time off. And then we went to Marrakesh by
Speaker 3: fiftieth and I was like, wow, Army, Yeah, and.
Speaker 1: It's your birthday week. You're fiftieth.
Speaker 3: I'm fifty fifty.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 3: I feel great about it. I don't. Yeah, it's great
Speaker 3: because also I have looked after myself. I'm still here.
Speaker 3: The people I like are the people I like. They're
Speaker 3: still here after thirty for years. The husband's still kicking about,
Speaker 3: still quite like the kids. Yeah, the people I really
Speaker 3: want to like me have fucked off, and it turns
Speaker 3: out their decks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're still a very, very fit family. That's the
Speaker 2: main thing.
Speaker 3: Oh, my husband's so fait hilarious fit. Have you met Stephen,
Speaker 3: you've messed you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a very hot couple. You're you're one of
Speaker 2: the hottest coups on the circuit.
Speaker 3: Super funny. So Steven's done this show and in his
Speaker 3: show he gets caught up by Penn Badgely, I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've seen it. Have you seen the show?
Speaker 1: What's the show?
Speaker 3: It's called you?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I haven't seen you.
Speaker 1: Have you heard it here? It's very good?
Speaker 3: So he gets caught up. He gets caught up by
Speaker 3: pen and in the script it says, of course this
Speaker 3: douchebag's got a Prince Albert. And so the producer called
Speaker 3: Stephen and says, right, you have final approval on the prosthetic.
Speaker 3: And Steven's like the pathetic and they're like, yeah, the penis.
Speaker 3: And so we're saying at breakfast one day and Steven
Speaker 3: just keeps showing me all these dick pics and I
Speaker 3: was like, what the fuck? And there were all penises
Speaker 3: they're going to attach to his body and so yeah,
Speaker 3: the yead. Yeah, so they get this dick attached to
Speaker 3: his body and then the show happens. And then Stephen
Speaker 3: gets all these messages, direct messages online on Twitter and
Speaker 3: on Instagram, and some of them are from like ex
Speaker 3: girlfriends just put their numbers. One of them, one of
Speaker 3: them is from a girl saying I just want to
Speaker 3: be a bitter penetrated with your massive dick. And Steven's
Speaker 3: freaking out, so he just always whenever it comes and
Speaker 3: he's like, I just need to show you. This is okay,
Speaker 3: what do you do with this? The girl who's like,
Speaker 3: I just want to be penetrated by your massive dick.
Speaker 3: You click on a profile and it says just waiting
Speaker 3: to be the right guy's bless you. That's great, that's
Speaker 3: very sweet, super sweet. But also you're just like, oh, may,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that's how you're going to meet him.
Speaker 3: But also and then pictures of girls sending pictures of
Speaker 3: boobies and their arses, and you said, what my what
Speaker 3: do I do with that? What I mean? And also
Speaker 3: there's no support group for wives married to guys who're
Speaker 3: getting this ship.
Speaker 2: I mean, as a neuro scientist, maybe you could start
Speaker 2: a group for wives and girlfriends of men with prosthetic
Speaker 2: penises on TV or.
Speaker 3: Like actors wives because like everyone's like, oh, it's famously
Speaker 3: short because you're meant to fall in love on screen,
Speaker 3: aren't you? You're meant to mean? Have you fallen in
Speaker 3: love on screen?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: No, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I do know what you mean.
Speaker 2: Oh, Wendy, I just when notes I forgot to tell
Speaker 2: you something? What it's really bad that I didn't tell
Speaker 2: you this at the beginning. Fuck let me uh, I'll
Speaker 2: just say it right right.
Speaker 3: You're scaring me. You're scaring me.
Speaker 2: What You've died. You're dead, dead, dead right now? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're dead?
Speaker 1: How did you die?
Speaker 3: I fantasized my death a lot when I was younger
Speaker 3: and in my youth. I died in a really glamorous hospital,
Speaker 3: surrounded by friends and family, all weeping and then run
Speaker 3: up to my death. It was a long and painful illness,
Speaker 3: and I got thinner and thinner, and my cheekbones looked amazing,
Speaker 3: and in the final hours I looked like a Kardashian.
Speaker 3: And you people that were mean to me all through
Speaker 3: my life, they swarmed to my hotel hotel.
Speaker 1: Did I say, yeah?
Speaker 3: It was interesting my hospital birth.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I died from a long and painful illness, with everyone
Speaker 3: warning my passing. I did.
Speaker 1: Actually, what was the illness?
Speaker 3: Undisclosed family illness as we all know.
Speaker 1: Shame that it was.
Speaker 2: It was so long and painful, but I guess at
Speaker 2: least you've got fitter and far well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so, yeah, I die on a bed surrounded
Speaker 3: my loving family. Something. Well, they say painful, but I
Speaker 3: want to say less painful. I don't know. Maybe a tapework, a.
Speaker 1: Nice long tapework.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: In the end, they pull out of your bat and
Speaker 2: it was as long as your entire body.
Speaker 1: Do you worry about death.
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't worry about death. I don't. I
Speaker 3: think that I've lived life really well and I love people,
Speaker 3: and I think if if you love people, you're doing
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 1: That's very nice, Wendy, it sounds very nice.
Speaker 3: It sounds really cheesy, but that's true.
Speaker 2: I think that's lovely. What about when you die? What
Speaker 2: do you think happens after life?
Speaker 3: I would like to think I just go to sleep.
Speaker 3: But if Stephen meets someone else, I will come back
Speaker 3: and haunt the hell out of that bitch. I've said,
Speaker 3: I want you to move on and find someone else,
Speaker 3: but I will not be absent.
Speaker 1: I will be watching every time you touch it.
Speaker 3: And also I'm twelve years older than him, so oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: do you not know this?
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was twelve years.
Speaker 3: You were there when I met him, You were there
Speaker 3: around the time that I met him.
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember thinking very well, tied.
Speaker 3: I remember thinking. I remember saying, Brett, I can't get involved,
Speaker 3: and you're going, what's the worst that can happen? The
Speaker 3: worst that can happen to get married to him and
Speaker 3: be with him for fifteen years down on alliance with
Speaker 3: Thanks for that Brett.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. So do you think there's a
Speaker 1: heaven or such a thing.
Speaker 3: So I believe in science, and I believe in spirituality,
Speaker 3: and I believe that energy cannot be created or destroyed
Speaker 3: because that is scientific fact. So I don't think I'm
Speaker 3: gonna just shuffle off and you're not gonna hear from
Speaker 3: me again. I think we're around in some form, whether
Speaker 3: it's I don't think it's like here, Brett, I've got
Speaker 3: something to pick up with you. I don't think it'll
Speaker 3: be that. But I think there's an energy around, definitely
Speaker 3: an energy around and across the road. I have a
Speaker 3: neighbor who have Like when I first moved in, they
Speaker 3: were like, you're from Scotland. The neighbor across the road
Speaker 3: she's a psychic and she's Scottish and I was like,
Speaker 3: oh fuck that shit. But after twelve years we speak
Speaker 3: and it's quite scary and much she knows.
Speaker 1: What does she tell you?
Speaker 3: Oh she'll knock on the door, she said to me
Speaker 3: the other week. There, who's Peggy? Now that Peggy's Steven's nana.
Speaker 3: Peggy's got something to tell you, Oh my god. And
Speaker 3: she finds that I'm currently writing a show about that
Speaker 3: kind of thing, writing as that come about that kind
Speaker 3: of thing, about that sort of inconvenience of sight.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh, I'd like that.
Speaker 3: It's really interesting. And also I think that as us
Speaker 3: women come into our middle ages and Divina McCall God
Speaker 3: bless her has rebranded the menopause. We always think that
Speaker 3: women in their fifties are angry, but actually we've brought
Speaker 3: up our kids, we've put our careers on hold. We're
Speaker 3: right right what now? And also estrogen drops and you guys,
Speaker 3: you guys are so lucky because your homemonne levels have
Speaker 3: been the same level forever. And we're like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I'm overlating, this is happening. Oh my god, I'm menstoring,
Speaker 3: this is happening. Oh my god, I hate you, Oh
Speaker 3: my god, I love you. And you know it's not fair,
Speaker 3: but it is what it is. But it's great that
Speaker 3: you come to the end of that so that you
Speaker 3: get angry old women. But we're not angry. We're just like, oh, this,
Speaker 3: So it feels to feel the same every day. What
Speaker 3: a treat, What a treat to feel the same every day.
Speaker 3: And I'm not even there yet.
Speaker 2: There's a early Hilary Mantle book that Emerald Fanew made
Speaker 2: me read, She's Fucking Great, which is about a woman
Speaker 2: the Inconvenience of Sight.
Speaker 1: But it's really dark. It's really, really really dark.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, I forgot what it's called it and I'm sorry, sorry,
Speaker 2: you'll have to google it, but I think you'll enjoy it.
Speaker 3: I'm going to write it down, Emerald, The Inconvenience of Sight.
Speaker 2: No, it's not called that, but it's an early Hilary
Speaker 2: Mantle book.
Speaker 3: It's really interesting because if you don't believe in it's
Speaker 3: super funny, because it's not funny at all, but it's
Speaker 3: super funny. And I'm sure i'm breaking friendship. Bandis here,
Speaker 3: but she had a reading last week with a guy
Speaker 3: and she's lived across it with me, and she said
Speaker 3: to me, oh my god. This guy came in and
Speaker 3: he said, and she's from Scotland. She was sitting doing
Speaker 3: a reading for him and he was going and she said,
Speaker 3: all around his head she could just see Martha, Martha Murder, Murder.
Speaker 3: And she was like, oh fuck. And she said to
Speaker 3: the guy, you know, so what brings you here? And

Speaker 3: going to kill his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: God, this is like minority reports. She did do.
Speaker 3: But what can she do?
Speaker 1: Ah, that's so interesting. What can you do? I guess
Speaker 1: she's got to move in with him and make sure
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine the police officer getting ba oh, well
Speaker 3: thanks for your cool love.
Speaker 2: Wow? Well, listen up, Wendy. There is a heaven. Sorry,
Speaker 2: you're going in. You're going in. You're going to heaven,
Speaker 2: and you're very welcome. It's filled with your favorite thing.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 3: Thank you God. My favorite thing is red wine and
Speaker 3: massages and those bubbly baths.
Speaker 1: It's filled with them.
Speaker 3: Oh and marshmallows.
Speaker 2: There's marshmallows everywhere. There's bubbly buths. People message you. It's great.
Speaker 2: Everyone's so excited to see you. They're a huge fan,
Speaker 2: but they want to talk to you about your life.
Speaker 2: They want to talk about your life through the medium
Speaker 2: of film. And the first thing they ask you is,
Speaker 2: what's the first film you remember seeing?
Speaker 1: Wendy Way the.
Speaker 3: First film I saw. Ever. My parents are divorced. And
Speaker 3: the great and worst thing about that is that your dad. Generally,
Speaker 3: dads quite have quite little imaginations with what to do
Speaker 3: with kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't mean that in a bad way, but it's
Speaker 3: fucking true. So my dad used toy with the cinema
Speaker 3: every time he saw me, which my mom would be
Speaker 3: furious about, and subsequently I was furious about when my
Speaker 3: children's father did that. My eldest two children's father did that.
Speaker 3: But it was brilliant for me. The first film I
Speaker 3: saw was Superman.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, that's never happened on this What a
Speaker 2: great opener.
Speaker 3: I'm very old. I'm very old. It was Superman with
Speaker 3: the dad. Oh my god, super famous actor is and
Speaker 3: Brando was his dad. It was amazing. He's super famous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pretty famous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was amazing. It was amazing. It was so amazing,
Speaker 3: and all the criminals were locked in that spinning mirror
Speaker 3: and my dad asleep. And it was great because I
Speaker 3: just ordered shit to this. I went up and my
Speaker 3: dad's asleep. He'll pay for all. This is amazing and
Speaker 3: so cool and oh my god, it was amazing. It
Speaker 3: was amazing.
Speaker 1: Are you only child? Are you with siblings?
Speaker 3: I was an only child and then my mother remarried,
Speaker 3: so I have a half sister.
Speaker 1: Okay, just you and your dad.
Speaker 3: Me and my daddy. We did crazy golf and we
Speaker 3: did movies.
Speaker 1: I like that. That sounds so bad to me.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I feel so bad for anyone who
Speaker 3: didn't have divorced parents. Honest, you can play against each other.
Speaker 3: Excellent negotiating skills. I love that. Have you seen that
Speaker 3: for you? Obviously you've seen it, Superman. You've seen every
Speaker 3: film that I'm going to mention.
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping you haven't. Well, let's see what about
Speaker 1: being scared? What's the film that scared you most? Do
Speaker 1: you like being scared?
Speaker 3: No? I hate it. I hate it. And the film
Speaker 3: that rooted that scare in me and it maybe aware
Speaker 3: of film music is a film called Picnic a Hanging Rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Have you seen that?
Speaker 1: Peare Peter aware? Yeah? He's one of my favorite directors.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. And I met him like years and
Speaker 3: years and years ago, and I remember making him for
Speaker 3: a job and I was just like, you're scared this
Speaker 3: shit at me because I cannot hear pan pipe music.
Speaker 3: Do you know even the whole thing I've got a
Speaker 3: thing about Victoria. Oh my god, I've just realized what
Speaker 3: I'm wearing. It's just sort of Victoriana Blause. When I
Speaker 3: was little, I started watching I say little. It must
Speaker 3: have been about twelve or thirteen. I don't know if
Speaker 3: I've mentioned that. In fifty it's my fiftieth birthday month. Oh,
Speaker 3: President's Birthday, Happy birthday. I'm more than delighted to be
Speaker 3: telling everyone that I'm fifty. I know that everyone goes, oh,
Speaker 3: just lying about it. I'm like, nah, I'm fifty and
Speaker 3: I'm still alive. It's great the Victoriana thing in that film,
Speaker 3: and it's based on a real story. It's still unexplained,
Speaker 3: and that do do do do do?
Speaker 1: Do?
Speaker 3: You know? You like it's very shit, it's so creepy,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, and then it's real and it's real. You
Speaker 3: saw that when you were like twelve. I was about
Speaker 3: thirteen when I saw that film and I was at
Speaker 3: that point you know when I think there's stages you
Speaker 3: go through where you cannot deal with the lack of
Speaker 3: a happy ending. Do you know what I mean? When
Speaker 3: the good start, you want the story and then you
Speaker 3: want the happy ending. And I remember getting into French
Speaker 3: movies and going, oh my god, there's no happy ending.
Speaker 3: And the French are really good at going yeah, this
Speaker 3: is fucking life, fucking deally busy. America fires out to
Speaker 3: focus groups and they go and this is what audiences
Speaker 3: are happy with.
Speaker 1: That's why it's so interesting. It is. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: exactly what you mean.
Speaker 2: And if you that's why kind of seventies Hollywood films
Speaker 2: are real so fascinating because the vast majority of like
Speaker 2: great films from the seventies the people used to go
Speaker 2: to and kind of popular, are so dark and they
Speaker 2: all end in quite a cynical way. They all end
Speaker 2: without hope.
Speaker 3: But I think that's important. I think I think it's
Speaker 3: a lesson. I think it's really interesting. Like I'm taking
Speaker 3: the kid, like the eldest too have moved out this year,
Speaker 3: so we're taking the youngest one or a tour of
Speaker 3: Italy and we're going to all my favorite film locations
Speaker 3: where my husband's like, really we're going to We're going
Speaker 3: to Aretz so and I was like, yeah, life is beautiful.
Speaker 3: I love that film. It's like it's fucking horrendous. What
Speaker 3: happens in life is beautiful. It's like give a ship,
Speaker 3: give a ship. We're going to Trivi Fountain. But I
Speaker 3: just think I love film. I love it so much.
Speaker 3: But anyway place, which is why I could do like
Speaker 3: fifteen of these, as I said to you when I
Speaker 3: text you, I was like, Brett, this is so hard.
Speaker 1: It's so hard.
Speaker 3: The picnic a hanging Rock, Picnic Hanging Rock, and also
Speaker 3: they have that little thing and they have these little
Speaker 3: nuggets at Picnic Hanging Rock where you're like, oh, is
Speaker 3: it going to be I was going to say, oh
Speaker 3: my god, is it going to be a sexual assault?
Speaker 3: Because you're always trying to go in what directions this
Speaker 3: film going? I don't mean I love a sexual assault,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean like, oh is that all
Speaker 3: direction this is going in? Because I feel like with them,
Speaker 3: I think films are always like you're trying to solve
Speaker 3: or figure out the clues or there where it's going.
Speaker 2: But That's why I think it stays with you. Picnic
Speaker 2: Hanging Rocks. It doesn't result.
Speaker 3: And the whole story that Picnica Hanging Rock is like,
Speaker 3: it's a true story from the from nineteen hundred, have
Speaker 3: some Valentine's Day. So there's that promise of romance and
Speaker 3: they're hoping for romance, and then it's Blake is really
Speaker 3: bleak and the outfits right. And then I think, I
Speaker 3: think there's a woman in it from Neighbors. I think
Speaker 3: Missus Mango from Neighbors is one of the teachers.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think you're right. Is that right? Missus mangos
Speaker 1: in it? I think you're right.
Speaker 3: I think she's one of the teachers.
Speaker 1: God bless Missus mang.
Speaker 3: I looked all this stuff up and then put it
Speaker 3: aside and thought, I'll come back to it and revisit it.
Speaker 1: What about crying? Are you a big old crier? What's
Speaker 1: the film that made you cry?
Speaker 3: I'm a big crier. I enjoy a cry. I remember
Speaker 3: when I was played with my eldest. My ex came
Speaker 3: in and was like, what are you crying at? And
Speaker 3: I was like, I was crying at a TV show
Speaker 3: where they redid somebody's Garden. They love her new Garden.
Speaker 3: But once again, because I'm so old, there's a film
Speaker 3: called The Champ that I'm not sure. Yeah, have you
Speaker 3: seen The Champ?
Speaker 1: The Champ horrendous and horrendous, awful, amazing.
Speaker 3: I love you Champ. I love your Chop. Angelina's dad
Speaker 3: who was amazing in the TV show with the Killer.
Speaker 2: Help me fuck up, fuck up the TV show with
Speaker 2: the Killer.
Speaker 3: He's a contract killer with Leave Leave Schreiberber. What's his name?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Yes, And he's the dad
Speaker 3: And what great about it for anyone who's got a
Speaker 3: ship dad? And I'm sure there's loads of us out
Speaker 3: there who've got a ship dad the Champ and my
Speaker 3: dad did his best and yahdy yady YadA, and you know,
Speaker 3: and all dads do their best. But the chap was
Speaker 3: great because the Champ did his best for his son.
Speaker 3: And you watch and you go, that's a terrible decision,
Speaker 3: terrible decision, but you understand why he's done it. You
Speaker 3: understand why he's done it, and oh my god, and
Speaker 3: the wee boy. And the thing is, your kids just
Speaker 3: love you for for you. Your kids are your listen,
Speaker 3: they love you for being you. Whether you're a gambler,
Speaker 3: a fighter or a racehorse trainer.
Speaker 1: Crazy to me, your goods love you.
Speaker 3: You don't have to do anything. You just turn up
Speaker 3: and be their parents. So yeah, sorry, I didn't mean
Speaker 3: for there to be any lessons. Sorry, sorry, sorry, no,
Speaker 3: but it's true. But it's true, isn't it.
Speaker 2: What is a film that you love unconditionally? People don't
Speaker 2: like it, it's not critically acclaimed, but you fucking love
Speaker 2: it anyway.
Speaker 3: Okay? What they say so funny when you ask these question.
Speaker 3: I know you have to ask these questions, but I
Speaker 3: feel like you're trying to move me on. But okay,
Speaker 3: when the funk about the crying.
Speaker 1: I felt like we completed that.
Speaker 3: It's fuck up a Scottish thing, yes, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Fuck up means shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're very busy in Scotland. I've got time
Speaker 2: for full sentences for independence.
Speaker 3: Okay. I have discussed this with friends and I was like,
Speaker 3: do you know what film I love that nobody else likes?
Speaker 3: Dirty rot Scoundrels? And everyone was like, everybody loves that film, Wendy.
Speaker 3: For every film I suggested, I didn't realize that everybody
Speaker 3: likes but the one that everyone said is shit that
Speaker 3: I still like is the Zamecas film Death Becomes Her.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a great answer. I think Death Becomes Her
Speaker 2: has had a resurgent and people love it now. But
Speaker 2: when it came out, people definitely didn't like it. Okay,
Speaker 2: not well received.
Speaker 3: So and it's a great My husband was like, that's
Speaker 3: because you're old and it's use juice and that's just
Speaker 3: like you're a deck, which I think is rude. But
Speaker 3: also yeah, but also yeah, yeah, and Goldie Horn and
Speaker 3: marriage Okay, even my husband's all though you met when
Speaker 3: he was twenty three, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I met when he was a child.
Speaker 3: He's known only forty Yeah, it's time for me to
Speaker 3: get any one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think fifty Years had a good run.
Speaker 3: I think that's a great film. But also it's mental.
Speaker 3: But then also hocus Pocus, I like that too, but yeah,
Speaker 3: oh it's between Death Comes Her and August Pocus. Am
Speaker 3: I alive too?
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm going to give you Death Becomes There.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 2: So it is a very strange film and I really
Speaker 2: like it, but you're right, it was not received well
Speaker 2: in the beginning.
Speaker 3: Very strange film, and also Goldiehrn, you have an overboard.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I didn't even think about overboard.
Speaker 1: That's shit. I love it, love that love overboy. What
Speaker 1: about the other way around?
Speaker 2: What's a film you used to love very much, but
Speaker 2: you've watched it recently and you've got I don't like
Speaker 2: this anymore, for whatever reason you might have changed.
Speaker 3: So my daughter is now twenty one, this is hilarious,
Speaker 3: Well me, no, do you know what? I won't? I won't.
Speaker 3: I always got this is hilarious. And my daughter's like, mom,
Speaker 3: I'll decide. She's right, she's right, she's right. She's written
Speaker 3: a script. She's written like various film scripts. And one
Speaker 3: of our good friends, Ewan, is in Game of Thrones
Speaker 3: and he was Ramsey Alton and Game with Thrones.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, yeah, he's very scary.
Speaker 3: He's very scary, but he's the nicest man you will
Speaker 3: ever meet. And Debella, fella, if you want me to
Speaker 3: be in one of your films, I'm more than happy
Speaker 3: to be in one of your films. And bell was like, Ewan,
Speaker 3: there's nothing for you in my script.
Speaker 1: I'm like, she's thinking like a producer. I like it.
Speaker 3: I'm like Bella who in your film? Somebody might watch it.
Speaker 3: But so we were giggling about that, and then we
Speaker 3: were chatting actually the other week there about this film
Speaker 3: that I loved when I was growing up, and I
Speaker 3: showed it Tobella and I was just like, oh fuck.
Speaker 3: So I grew up with The Breakfast Club and Saint
Speaker 3: Elmo's Fire and and I showed her. I was like, Bella,
Speaker 3: you're gonna love this. You're gonna love this. You're gonna
Speaker 3: love this, You're gonna love this. And I showed her
Speaker 3: a film called Mannequin.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you know what madiquin?
Speaker 3: And it's Andrew McCarthy and he falls in love well essentially,
Speaker 3: he creates his ideal girlfriend. And in the eighties I
Speaker 3: was like, that's super cute. And now that I'm fifty,
Speaker 3: I'm like, how fucking dare you tell me? How about
Speaker 3: fucking woman has to fucking be you fucking prick. My
Speaker 3: narrative has slightly changed watching with my daughter going oh
Speaker 3: my god, Oh my god. And Andrew McCarthy's got that
Speaker 3: great put up on face or has like, you know,
Speaker 3: unaccustomed as I am to asking for what I want,
Speaker 3: here is what I'm asking for And you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: watch out for that kind of prick. Meant when you've
Speaker 3: got yeah, when you've got a door, Well, when you've
Speaker 3: got a daughter, you're like, oh shit, don't do that.
Speaker 3: I've never done this before, But would you like to
Speaker 3: do sex like this?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, that prick has done that before.
Speaker 3: He needs a know, he needs a No. If the
Speaker 3: phrase i've never done this before creeps into your vocabulary,
Speaker 3: you know that it's wrong. What you're asking for is
Speaker 3: is that fair?
Speaker 1: I think it certainly is a flag that needs consideration.
Speaker 3: Flag is a big fucking red flag wagging it.
Speaker 1: I mean before once never done this before, would have
Speaker 1: been through once.
Speaker 3: Although having said that, with my husband, I've never had
Speaker 3: a one night stand, and I was trying to have
Speaker 3: a one night stand with him. Still never had a
Speaker 3: one night stand because we've been married for like fifteen
Speaker 3: years then, and I'm like, shit, if it's really really
Speaker 3: good sex, it's normally someone who's going to stalk you
Speaker 3: for about six months before or after after. As one
Speaker 3: of my girlfriends says, when you have sex with somebody
Speaker 3: who's really good in bed, to go oh shit, because yeah,
Speaker 3: it's going to be a difficult It's important to plan
Speaker 3: your exit plan. It's important to have an exit plan.
Speaker 1: What is the film that means the most to you?
Speaker 2: Not necessarily the film itself is good, but the experience
Speaker 2: you had seeing the film will always make it special
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm sneaking into here. I normally allowed one. I'm
Speaker 3: sneaking into because I'm going to want One's a little sentence,
Speaker 3: is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So I have divorced parents. I used to go and
Speaker 3: see my dad every third weekend. When I was twelve.
Speaker 3: He showed me Scarface and said, don't tell your mother
Speaker 3: you've seen this wicked. And I took my daughter to
Speaker 3: see it last week at the Everyman in Hampstead, where
Speaker 3: she and I works, and I was like this. She
Speaker 3: was like, seriously, mom, And I was like, when I
Speaker 3: look at it now, it feels really bad. But when
Speaker 3: you don't live with your dad, it's a really bonding thing.
Speaker 3: And I didn't know what everything was, but it was.
Speaker 3: I love Scarface for all the like, I mean, you
Speaker 3: sit around the all day I wait for me to
Speaker 3: fuck you. Great line, great line, and I mean I
Speaker 3: just love it. I mean it's horrendous and I love
Speaker 3: the sort of good guy done well, done badly. I
Speaker 3: love the downfall of the Yeah, so I love Scarface.
Speaker 3: I still love Scarface. I always loves Scarface. But the
Speaker 3: film that has the most meaning for me is Crouching Tiger,
Speaker 3: Hidden Dragon. Lovely because I was in Los Angeles and
Speaker 3: I want to say two thousand. Should have really googled
Speaker 3: the day the release date. I think it was two
Speaker 3: thousand and two thousand and it was October or September anyway, whatever.
Speaker 3: I went to a pre screening of Preaching Tiger, and
Speaker 3: as a girl from Edinburgh, I was so excited to
Speaker 3: be in LA and my friend's Stef she took me
Speaker 3: to this screening and back in those days, we've never
Speaker 3: seen anything like it. But also I've never seen anything
Speaker 3: like it in a movie literate environment. Now that sounds
Speaker 3: really wanky and it is really whanky. But also my
Speaker 3: children love watching screenings of films in arenas where people
Speaker 3: respect the film, which sounds really whanky, and it is
Speaker 3: really whanky, but it's one hundred percent bang on because
Speaker 3: we'll go to a cinema and people will talk through
Speaker 3: it and my kids will be like, shut up, this
Speaker 3: is We've paid money for this stop it. And they
Speaker 3: love going to an industry screening in the wankiest way
Speaker 3: because everyone shuts up and they respect the film, which
Speaker 3: sounds ridiculous, and I would like to be embarrassed about that,
Speaker 3: but I'm fucking not embarrassed about that, because respect the film.
Speaker 3: Respect the fucking the film. Sorry, but respect the film.
Speaker 3: And I've told you, I've told them that for their
Speaker 3: whole lives. So my children will go into a cinema
Speaker 3: and they will shut the fuck up. And if you talk,
Speaker 3: my children will tell you to shut the fuck up
Speaker 3: and respect the film.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 3: There was a hundred million people involved in that. So
Speaker 3: when I saw Crouching Tiger in La, people stood up
Speaker 3: and whooped and cheered and screamed because there was whirling
Speaker 3: and there was like that shit going on, and I'd
Speaker 3: never seen anything like it on screen, but I'd never
Speaker 3: in Glasgow when the film finished, everyone used to clap,
Speaker 3: but in La everyone was whipping and screaming and delighted
Speaker 3: at the special effects. And I didn't know what to
Speaker 3: do with myself for the special effects because they felt
Speaker 3: like they were jumping out of the scream. I've never
Speaker 3: seen that before, and neither did anyone around me, And
Speaker 3: it was just it was one of those moments where
Speaker 3: you go, shit, you you park your life at the
Speaker 3: gateway and you walk in and you're in the film
Speaker 3: and that really Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Sound like that's really good.
Speaker 3: Sound like the wine car I am, but yeah, I am. O.
Speaker 1: I love that, you know, I love that. Yeah, tell
Speaker 1: me this, what is the film you most relate to
Speaker 1: when super bizarre?
Speaker 3: It's the Parent Trap and not the Lindsay Luheim one.
Speaker 3: It's the Haley Mils. Yeah, because my parents divorced and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I must have a sister somewhere
Speaker 3: and somebody who understands.
Speaker 1: Myn Yeah, that's a heartbreaker.
Speaker 3: It's a heartbreaker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you want to did you want to trick
Speaker 2: your parents back together? Or was it having this secret
Speaker 2: we really.
Speaker 3: Really wanted to give our parents back together? And so
Speaker 3: bizarre throughout my life, my mom and dad was having
Speaker 3: the same birthday guard and they sent it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: super super sad, super sad and super.
Speaker 2: Yeah what they Your mom and dad would send you
Speaker 2: identical cuts by accident, as in just by coinstance, so
Speaker 2: you'd be like, oh, they're meant.
Speaker 3: To be yeah, or I thought my my secret sister
Speaker 3: sent me this, but yeah, she hasn't arrived, so yeah,
Speaker 3: I know you say it, ah, but you know it
Speaker 3: was really si. Yeah, I really wanted another another sibling,
Speaker 3: and yeah, I and also the one of them lived
Speaker 3: in a ranch and one loved in a really nice
Speaker 3: house in London, so forget Yeah it was it wasn't
Speaker 3: a bad aspiration.
Speaker 2: Wendy, here we go. I'm excited about your answer for this.
Speaker 2: What's the sexiest film you ever seen?
Speaker 3: Well, it's Good Fellas, isn't it. It's not for everyone,
Speaker 3: though I thought.
Speaker 1: That was a fun It's never been in this category,
Speaker 1: but isn't it?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Good Fathers. It's so sexy. It's the family,
Speaker 3: It's the gatherness. It's how much money do you want
Speaker 3: to go shopping with? It's like this much money when
Speaker 3: she holds up her fingers to show how much cash
Speaker 3: she wants to go shopping. Do you want to fur coat?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I just walk a little bit further, walk a little
Speaker 3: bit of father. It's a dangerous the excitement, it's the helicopters.
Speaker 3: It's the food. I love food, I love cooking. It's
Speaker 3: the sexiest film ever, all the senses are covered.
Speaker 1: Fascinating, very revealing, fascinating.
Speaker 3: Is that too much? Is that too little?
Speaker 1: No? That's perfect.
Speaker 2: What about there's a traveling boners worrying? Why don't what's
Speaker 2: the film you found a rousing that you weren't sure
Speaker 2: you should.
Speaker 3: There's loads of things you find arousing and you go,
Speaker 3: oh my god, And it's always Jessica Rabbit all that weird.
Speaker 3: Of the things I find arousing, and it's always the
Speaker 3: bad guys. I think, like pretty much anything Joe Pesci's in.
Speaker 3: I do find Joe Pesci alarm in these see that's great.
Speaker 3: But also, do you know how I find sexy? And
Speaker 3: my kids always joke about it is John Loguisiamo.
Speaker 1: Oh I can see that.
Speaker 3: I fancy the arse of John Loguisiamo. And he's always
Speaker 3: the bad guy from you, And yet everything he does
Speaker 3: John Loguisiamo, I'm like, yeah, I know he'd kill you,
Speaker 3: see that, I'd fucking do him. But he's wrong and
Speaker 3: it's wrong. It's wrong, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you're no shame.
Speaker 2: Sexiest is good feathers, and your shame sexiest is bad guys.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I can't. Yeah, I can't say to my children,
Speaker 3: look after yourself. But by the way, Joe the GUISIAMO
Speaker 3: fucking do him. He's so sexy, though, isn't he.
Speaker 1: I can see that, Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 3: You fancy.
Speaker 1: No, I fancy him. I'm not sure I fancy but
Speaker 1: I love Pesci as well.
Speaker 3: It's a fucking a fucking a whole. What is objectively
Speaker 3: the greatest film of all time? I suggested this to
Speaker 3: my husband. He was like, no one will know what
Speaker 3: you're talking about. I am a big fan of a
Speaker 3: little known actrical picture sellers. There is a film called
Speaker 3: Being There phenomenon that is the greatest film of all
Speaker 3: time in my opinion. The little glances, the little looks,
Speaker 3: the little misunderstandings, and I think one hundred percent compulsively
Speaker 3: relevant for our times right now is Being There. I
Speaker 3: think Being There should be on the school curriculum. Is
Speaker 3: that fair? Yes, Being There should be on the school curriculum.
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to cry. I just think it's
Speaker 3: the most amazing thing. I think Chancey the Gardener, Oh,
Speaker 3: Chauncey Gardner, I know exactly who you are from You're like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I just think it's the most extraordinary film.
Speaker 3: It's perfectly underplayed. The acting is amazing. Okay, I'm gushing,
Speaker 3: I'm gushing. I'm gushing, I'm gushing. But anyway, I think
Speaker 3: the best ever made is Being There.
Speaker 2: What a fantastic answer, and I don't think you're incorrect.
Speaker 2: It is a profound, brilliant film. Brilliant.
Speaker 3: It's remarkable, isn't it it is?
Speaker 1: It is about everything that is happening. Now, you're right. Fantastic, Great, Wendy,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Ten points. What is the film
Speaker 1: you could or have watched the most over and over again?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I have three children. The film I have
Speaker 3: watched over and over and over again, and it's taught
Speaker 3: me everything about life, and I've seen everything in it.
Speaker 3: It has taught me everything about parenting. Is Finding Nemo.
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 3: Sorry would you say that? And you're like, I've let
Speaker 3: my have done their road?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, I say, oh my god, as in Finding Nimo
Speaker 2: makes me so sad that I don't think I could
Speaker 2: watch it again.
Speaker 1: But I think it's a right right.
Speaker 3: I have seen it about nine hundred times with each child,
Speaker 3: and I've got through it. So those last three thousand times.
Speaker 3: Right the first time I saw Finding Nemo, I just
Speaker 3: had Isabella. Who's night twenty one? I went to the
Speaker 3: cinema with my friend Tory, who my husband's who lives
Speaker 3: in Chicago. My husband's flown over tonight as a surprise,
Speaker 3: which is why. Yeah, I've had wine for the first
Speaker 3: time in life, whatever forever, and Tory and I I
Speaker 3: went to cinema in white lace. Yeah you know what
Speaker 3: you see. I was just you see, I whitelies. We
Speaker 3: went in and we were like, what do you have on?
Speaker 3: We have ten minutes before she has to breastfeed again.
Speaker 3: We went in and I had just started doing stand
Speaker 3: up and my whole thing went, oh no. So that
Speaker 3: was twenty nine when I started doing stand up, and
Speaker 3: then I really had a restart. I went back because
Speaker 3: I went to see the only film they had on
Speaker 3: and it was Nemo. And in the first five seconds
Speaker 3: the mom gets killed, and I was like.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: You fucking killed the mom again, You fucking pregs, you
Speaker 3: Disney horseholes, you always killed the fucking mom. So I
Speaker 3: came out and I was furious. I was like, once
Speaker 3: again the mom gets killed. You know why? Mary Proppings
Speaker 3: all this shit that not mayor pro bandy. The mom
Speaker 3: gets killed all the fucking time, sleeping beauty, all this shit.
Speaker 3: Why do you kill the mom? Why do you kill
Speaker 3: the mom? And the guy I was like, you breaks,
Speaker 3: you bunch your bricks, and he gave me my money back.
Speaker 3: He gave me my money back. He was like, we
Speaker 3: need to get her out of here. And subsequently I've
Speaker 3: seen it nine million times, but I think it's a
Speaker 3: really great lesson in letting your kids run and fly
Speaker 3: and grow. But even that that could happen even when
Speaker 3: the mom's alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the mom doesn't have to die.
Speaker 3: That mom doesn't have to die. But it's all about
Speaker 3: you want to keep your kids safe if you want
Speaker 3: them to grow and fly. But also what stop killing
Speaker 3: the mom? Harry Potter, Every fucking film that you love
Speaker 3: from your childhood, the mom dies. The mom doesn't have
Speaker 3: to die. Sorry, I'm running, but it's true.
Speaker 1: I like that have to die. The mom doesn't have
Speaker 1: to die. Sorry.
Speaker 2: What's the worst film you've ever seen? And let's not
Speaker 2: spend too long being negative.
Speaker 3: The worst woman I've ever seen is Mickey blue Eyes.
Speaker 3: James Karen Yep, my husband, my ex husband, and I
Speaker 3: didn't have a fight in our in our world, we
Speaker 3: were like we never ever fought during our divorce where
Speaker 3: we're like we just like, is this working for you?
Speaker 1: Know?
Speaker 3: It isn't working for you me either, cold let's but
Speaker 3: that's how our divorce worked. The only time that we
Speaker 3: fought was can you do? Can you take the Mickey
Speaker 3: blue Eyes DVD? Is that I don't want it? You
Speaker 3: have I don't want it. The only the only fought
Speaker 3: we the only fight we had in five years was
Speaker 3: Mickey blue Eyes and I took it.
Speaker 1: I Triple hor is the woman in it.
Speaker 3: My friend Matthew likes her and likes Jeane trouble Horn
Speaker 3: and Carrie Anne Moss, and he always goes, I just
Speaker 3: really like to shine carry Anne's Moss.
Speaker 2: Oh my god mate, you're in comedy. You've been in
Speaker 2: comedy as well. What's good film that made you laugh
Speaker 2: the most?
Speaker 3: My favorite comedy group of film films is Jack Tatty,
Speaker 3: which sounds really wonky, but it is. If you're not
Speaker 3: into films, you know, into comedy, watch Jack Tatty. You
Speaker 3: know into films. You don't into films, you don't listen
Speaker 3: to this ship. But if you're into it. I love
Speaker 3: Jacques Tatty, Jacques Tatty. I've watched all his films, mon uncle,
Speaker 3: I love all I love all that. But the film
Speaker 3: that makes me laugh out loud all the time is
Speaker 3: Four Lions.
Speaker 1: What a fucking great film.
Speaker 3: And I've shown it to all my children, each appropriate
Speaker 3: or not. Robert Inger, Rapids Mode, Bubba No Crue. We
Speaker 3: have so many quotes in our family, and I think

Speaker 3: It's a great film. It's so funny, it's so fucking funny,
Speaker 3: and it's so relevant and it's so important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I degree I think it's the problem last place
Speaker 2: that film. Wendy, you've been a delight. However, when you
Speaker 2: were dying a very slow, painful death caused by what
Speaker 2: we discovered as a tapeworm that eventually was pulled out
Speaker 2: of your ears out and was as long as you
Speaker 2: I think you said that gone all the way, all
Speaker 2: the way, I've got all the way around your body
Speaker 2: three or four times. It was fucking cute. Anyway, you
Speaker 2: were dying very slowly as you wished, and you became more.
Speaker 2: You began to slip more with.
Speaker 3: All my family's friended me yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Eventually you died. And I was walking down the street
Speaker 1: with the coffin.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm like, and I it's cute, grimml
Speaker 2: grimmled bra. Here he comes around the block and I
Speaker 2: was like, what you're not not as as he was
Speaker 2: to see the fittest, the fittest, dead buddy. We've never
Speaker 2: seen it. I really well, and so I queue up.
Speaker 2: I'm polite, I'm not going to jump the queue. I'm
Speaker 2: sort of the David Beckham of queue. And I get
Speaker 2: to the to the to the front and there's your
Speaker 2: So I go, wow, she does look fit. But this
Speaker 2: coffin I've got is the wrong size. Guys help me,
Speaker 2: and so we start chopping you up, chopping you up,
Speaker 2: chopping you up, chopping you up with an axe. There's
Speaker 2: loads of access, little acces. Chop you up, chop you up,
Speaker 2: chop you up. Eventually we stuff you in the coffin.
Speaker 2: It's not the perfect fit. I'll be honest. It's jammed
Speaker 2: in there. It's only really enough room in this coffin
Speaker 2: to slide one DVD into the side for you to
Speaker 2: take across to the other side. And in heaven it's
Speaker 2: movie night every night, and one night it's your movie night.

Speaker 2: for to listen to in the coming weeks.
Speaker 3: I am currently writing a book called The Life of
Speaker 3: My Men, The Life in My Men, there you go.
Speaker 3: So may West said that, and my daughter asked me
Speaker 3: about how you meet a boyfriend and how you know
Speaker 3: that somebody is a nice man, and I was like,
Speaker 3: it's a leak faith. So I'm currently writing a book
Speaker 3: about the life in the Life of my Men, and
Speaker 3: there's so many guys that I'm like, oh, my god,
Speaker 3: I should have married you because you were really nice.
Speaker 3: But what you want at sixteen is really not what
Speaker 3: you want when you're thirty five. Like when you're sixteen,
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, it's going to get me tickets to
Speaker 3: a gig, And then when I met Stephen and I
Speaker 3: was thirty five. It's like he can change a window,
Speaker 3: you can replace them with glass and a window. So no,
Speaker 3: it's about that and also the fact that the people
Speaker 3: who hurt me most of my life, the men who
Speaker 3: hurt me most in my life, are the ones that
Speaker 3: I totally embraced. So I'm writing a book on that.
Speaker 3: I'm gigging for the past year. I took a job
Speaker 3: in tech. I was offered a job in tech because
Speaker 3: I was head of brand and corporate communications for a year.
Speaker 3: They offered me it and I was like no, and
Speaker 3: then they kept up in the salary and also as
Speaker 3: most of people in entertainment, no, it's shut down. And
Speaker 3: I wasn't about I tried to do zoom gigs like yourself.
Speaker 3: This is not me, this is me. So I took
Speaker 3: that job for a year and I was just like,
Speaker 3: this is also not me. So anyway, Twitter, Wendy, I'm
Speaker 3: just go away Son Instagram. When I just go away Son,
