Speaker 3: at a hotel, actually stood at the door and all
Speaker 3: night they just sat went to spa, got a can
Speaker 3: of beers, and just sat outside drinking the beers while
Speaker 3: part of the wedding was going on inside. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: amazing those days, was it with me?
Speaker 2: Well, something a little less controversial than drinking outside of

Speaker 2: wedding that this is the perfect time to propose to
Speaker 2: my to my girlfriend.

Speaker 3: it's serious. No, if someone did that at my wedding
Speaker 3: and I would kick off.

Speaker 2: I see anybody even getting close to going down on
Speaker 2: one day at my wedding, like kill him?
Speaker 4: And now haven't shot? Yeah, t shoelace, shoelace, worry about it?
Speaker 3: Threw him straight out? No shoelace. And I'm not sure
Speaker 3: whether I prefer that or a punch up punch up
Speaker 3: is way more better because it's people who know each other. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so they're going proper judging.
Speaker 4: There's a reason for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and it's usually like it's usually the elder
Speaker 3: ones family rival that's been going for you know, it's
Speaker 3: a good wedding. Wedding when you just don't remember leaving,
Speaker 3: like you know, all the couple fall, you know, the gossip,
Speaker 3: you remember that, just about remember the food. But then
Speaker 3: you wake up and you're like, what happened? Who got married?
Speaker 4: Exactly?
Speaker 2: And then you god, yeah, and then you relieved and
Speaker 2: also disappointed when you look at it's just food that

Speaker 3: most warming. And yeah, I would say sexy. Definitely say sexy.
Speaker 3: I'm the right person. You know, everyone's a fetish Yeah everything, Well,
Speaker 3: it's just because a study has come out about what
Speaker 3: people find sexy in an accent.
Speaker 4: Okay, and Manchester.
Speaker 2: Accents and Liverpool accents and the Northwest accents have come
Speaker 2: very very way out of the bottom. What ye not
Speaker 2: sexy at all? Apparently so going to the study, people
Speaker 2: with a north West accent feel a bit criminally did
Speaker 2: so people have been saying Northwest accents the sexier accents?
Speaker 4: Where do you think they are?
Speaker 2: If people saying that a man in Liverpool accent a
Speaker 2: bit criminally London Nope, London didn't get a looking fail,

Speaker 3: And also Welsh, Oh yeah, I'm a logic Welsh accent
Speaker 3: yeah do look yeah it sounds like they sounds. I
Speaker 3: think the Welsh accents sounds so innocent. I'm Corona or anything.
Speaker 3: Like that. But I mean, like he does you know
Speaker 3: when you talk like that and you do like it,
Speaker 3: it's like very poetic and.
Speaker 2: It's very poetic. And then when there's filthy things, it
Speaker 2: does not sound innocent.
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't sounds funny, like to take your neck
Speaker 3: because off.
Speaker 2: Well, they said that the worst accent, the least sexy
Speaker 2: accent all the ones in the UK is the Birmingham accent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean again, it doesn't bother me, It doesn't
Speaker 3: bother I like an accent. I think when you're hear
Speaker 3: an accent, it's a talking point and it always it
Speaker 3: brings people out the shell. And I don't know, I
Speaker 3: don't I kind of think of an accent that really
Speaker 3: really bothers me, just bother you.
Speaker 2: I understand what any want say with in the mouth,
Speaker 2: because it's true. Everyone all sounds the same.
Speaker 3: And you're talking about that similar well the same thing really,
Speaker 3: And if you want to talk to us through a ball,
Speaker 3: why not share that with us at the could TV
Speaker 3: on social media and that brings us nicely to.
Speaker 4: Our story of the week.
Speaker 2: Now you're of an age similar to me, I want
Speaker 2: to say millennial, Yeah, I want to say geriatric.
Speaker 4: Millennial it, so I can beat that, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't be forty four forty five summar age.
Speaker 2: So you'll have remembered an internet sensation that came out
Speaker 2: in the early two thousands when YouTube was its infancy.
Speaker 4: Come on, two Girls, One Cup? Oh yeah, did you
Speaker 4: watch it?
Speaker 3: Did I watch it? As traumatized?
Speaker 2: Well, it's back, as jen z ers have gone, what
Speaker 2: is this two girls one cup thing that people keep
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 3: We claimed it the.
Speaker 2: Generation creating it, and I'm not sorry because it's hilarious
Speaker 2: cultural moment. But yeah, jen Z and jen Alpha are
Speaker 2: starting to find this clip and watch it, okay, and
Speaker 2: they're horrified by what people did in the early two thousands.
Speaker 3: You know, much on the tell.
Speaker 4: Skyplus just what.
Speaker 2: Netflix DVD delivery service, d v D delivery.
Speaker 3: We still.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they got confused and did the obvious reactions.
Speaker 2: So if it was not watch two Girls, One Cup, how.
Speaker 4: Would you describe it?
Speaker 3: Erm rom com.
Speaker 4: No, it's a lighthearted family.
Speaker 3: No, it's it's definitely not for the squeamish.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what's the picture we've chosen? There? Girls think
Speaker 4: chocolate ice cream with a spoon.
Speaker 3: It is basically that, but just different flavored ice cream.
Speaker 2: No one ever describes twos one cup, so I think
Speaker 2: it's only fair that we do actually describe it for
Speaker 2: tell them, which is, there's two ladies who are enjoying
Speaker 2: each other's company. They get a cup and one ship's
Speaker 2: ferociously into it. They're then share eating it and kiss
Speaker 2: each other with the shitty mouths, very passionately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they're sick, aren't they.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: On a man, I never got through it all that way.
Speaker 3: Just to make sure, very skeptical, yeah, very his trousers
Speaker 3: wiped down, and now I mean they're famous. Apparently gens
Speaker 3: headers were expecting it to be that. This is the
Speaker 3: thing about the gens no offense genders. But you see
Speaker 3: stuff and you claim it, and this is nothing new
Speaker 3: to us. You know, old old folk, we've seen it,
Speaker 3: we've lived through it. Now you're sort of preaching to
Speaker 3: the choir. Yeah, that's not the right saying.
Speaker 4: Watch.
Speaker 2: Actually people react to go, oh my god, what we
Speaker 2: did this? We had spin off like one guy one cup.
Speaker 3: And now they'll be like one careful you go, like
Speaker 3: would be like a recyclable cup. Now, yeah, vegan, Now
Speaker 3: you're vegan love all that corn.
Speaker 4: This week.
Speaker 3: Thanks for that, Mike. Always got to know that you
Speaker 3: can always poing a cup and be famous.
Speaker 4: Welcome up.
Speaker 2: Always nice to know that people do watch it. But
Speaker 2: stay right there because we after this short break, we're
Speaker 2: going to get up to celebrity news with the Showbiz.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, and you're watching you in the cud. This
Speaker 2: is the part of the show where we talk about
Speaker 2: all the things celebrity and media things in the show biz.
Speaker 3: Hello, and today we are talking about Disney's live action
Speaker 3: Lallo and Stitch trailer that sparked reactions. Okay, people ain't
Speaker 3: very appy.
Speaker 4: Not happy with a remake.
Speaker 3: No it is? Is it a remaker?
Speaker 4: Is it it's a live action remakers?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, so Disney doing a lot about At
Speaker 3: the moment, I feel like Disney are really going there.
Speaker 4: They're controversy. It's because they.
Speaker 2: Don't want to pay people to paint anymore. You call
Speaker 2: it this in for me now, I don't want to.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a live action remake of lalloer Stitch, and
Speaker 3: the reason why everyone's kicking off is because the agent,
Speaker 3: which usually dresses up as a lader undercover, is now
Speaker 3: dressed up as a regular bloke.
Speaker 4: So they're taking the drag out of it.
Speaker 3: They've taken the drag out of it, They've taken anything
Speaker 3: that simulates any kind of campness hampners.
Speaker 2: It's so camp that part of the ship it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's I mean, I don't want to
Speaker 3: sound why they've done that, because it's like taking Roger
Speaker 3: out of American Dad and just making him into some.
Speaker 4: Regular alien.
Speaker 2: I mean, because I always think that this this is
Speaker 2: the character that as an alien. Yeah, right, And I
Speaker 2: thought that Roger from American Dad. Was this just a
Speaker 2: more adult.
Speaker 3: Version of this, Yeah, cross dressing camp as anything alien
Speaker 3: innuendos on the American Dad one. I've never watched. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna I've never watched Ditch. It's a little bit too
Speaker 3: young for me. But when you watch stuff like that,
Speaker 3: it kind of opens it up. Yeah, it's got a
Speaker 3: massive imagination, and it's kind of like, why why have
Speaker 3: you taken out? Why have you not made it so boring?
Speaker 4: Now? I mean I think we know why, we.
Speaker 2: Know why, But yeah, I think it's a bit of
Speaker 2: a misstep because Roger the Alien is hilarious as Roger
Speaker 2: Alien's why you watch it exactly as you know that
Speaker 2: it's going to get up to Shenanigan to get Shirley Mary's.
Speaker 2: And it's like creates a character in the world. And
Speaker 2: that's what this does. Kids play dress up?
Speaker 3: What they even dragged up? Et didn't and so what
Speaker 3: is the party? What's the problem? Kids do not care?
Speaker 3: And it's the most memorable part, you know, So to
Speaker 3: do that now?
Speaker 2: Well, to be fair, eat coming at someone with the
Speaker 2: glowing fingers my memorable part.
Speaker 4: End of an alien coming at you. It's a lot
Speaker 4: to memory.
Speaker 3: Will be the first time.
Speaker 4: Rarely an alien definitely out. I'm excited to watch it,
Speaker 4: but a little bit disappointed.
Speaker 3: Are you a fan?
Speaker 2: I likely loan stitch just because it's such a stupid premise.
Speaker 2: It's a murderous alien crash lands at earth, right and
Speaker 2: be friends of family who take him in as a
Speaker 2: dog and go, oh, we'll look after you and it
Speaker 2: doesn't murder them.
Speaker 3: Well not yet.
Speaker 4: In a couple of years.
Speaker 3: We're talking about weddings before wait till the wedding happens. Okay,
Speaker 3: moving on. So the next story that we've got is
Speaker 3: the closure of the gay bar called this is It
Speaker 3: in West I never say it right. Wisconstance the cheese
Speaker 3: state the dairy state in the States. Yeah, it's one
Speaker 3: of the oldest gay bars every there and it's closing down.
Speaker 3: The reason why is that they've never really picked up
Speaker 3: since COVID, which is very very sad as five years
Speaker 3: of struggle. It is a very yeah, I mean is
Speaker 3: it's happening everywhere now in it It's bars are dropping
Speaker 3: like flies. We were saying fruit flies.
Speaker 4: There's many a bar where there's fruit flies and the
Speaker 4: toy and.
Speaker 3: You know why why is it in my drink? Let's
Speaker 3: drink it?
Speaker 2: But why is Tricksy Metel on my lovely screen?
Speaker 3: Well? That was she saved it from closing down, didn't
Speaker 3: she did? She? Yea, So she she saved it during
Speaker 3: COVID and anyway she puts some money into it, okay,
Speaker 3: and it just didn't work out.
Speaker 4: But that's a shame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but gay bars that my mother used to be.
Speaker 2: And tricks and Mittel's got so she had a motel
Speaker 2: as well. The Tricksy motel was Pink and Fluffy and
Speaker 2: Harry Camp that.
Speaker 4: Also closed down.
Speaker 2: Really, so maybe trick to herself isn't a great business person.
Speaker 3: Well, have you seen her house? Her house is pink
Speaker 3: and fluffy.
Speaker 4: Oh to be crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a very well known food shopping center that will
Speaker 2: call Faster just so we don't name.
Speaker 3: It fast faster.
Speaker 2: Faster, right, And I was a lady there that was
Speaker 2: in a pink outfit, pink joggers, pink everything, and pink shoes,
Speaker 2: and I just wanted to slap her.
Speaker 4: Really just made me angry. Ilence welled up in Cien.
Speaker 3: Is it the color pink?
Speaker 2: It's just people wearing a lot of pink. I don't
Speaker 2: mind the color pink. She was head to toeing pink.
Speaker 4: I just rage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the trauma that you need to work on there.
Speaker 2: Or just start slapping people that wear nothing but pink.
Speaker 4: I think that's also perfectly reasonable. It's just do you
Speaker 4: ever wear pink? Not really pink?
Speaker 3: Okay, it's all over there. I wear a pink you know.
Speaker 2: I don't mind a bit of pink, right, But Tricks
Speaker 2: myself has a lot of pink. Doesn't make me angry
Speaker 2: because I know it's drag. This is a human being
Speaker 2: that made a choice of outfit. There was nothing but pink.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes me okay. Well, back to the bar.
Speaker 3: Was closing down. We're all sorry it's closing down. It's sad.
Speaker 4: I hate it.
Speaker 3: Do you know what when anything, when any kind of bar,
Speaker 3: or especially a gay bar, closes down, it really it
Speaker 3: does upset you a little bit because it's someone's ideas
Speaker 3: and dreams and stuffing like that, and it's always it's
Speaker 3: always quite sad, isn't it. It's right, but it didn't
Speaker 3: work kind of thing. But it's one of the oldest
Speaker 3: places for as a gay bar. That's really sad.
Speaker 4: That's really sad.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's a lot of gay spaces
Speaker 2: that were losing and lgbt Q I plus spaces that
Speaker 2: were losing, and that's where a lot of our community survived.
Speaker 2: I mean, if we think back to our childhoods.
Speaker 4: If you can, he was in black and white and
Speaker 4: CPA awful.
Speaker 2: It was like going out to a gay space was
Speaker 2: the way that we got to know our community and
Speaker 2: it was exciting.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was definitely one of those places that you just
Speaker 3: got dolled up and went out hoping that someone would take.
Speaker 4: A shine into your direction.
Speaker 3: By you a larger Shandy Cadi Breezer searing off black
Speaker 3: ice or pineapple for me.
Speaker 4: As twigs.
Speaker 2: Okay, anything else you got to tell us about today?
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yes, I do actually have sad news. Actually,
Speaker 3: the icon herself, Mazy Trolette, right okay, passed away at.
Speaker 2: Owl was a thousand years old.
Speaker 3: May toilet Shares was ninety odd though. Yeah, one of
Speaker 3: the icons of our time. Definitely. I saw this on
Speaker 3: social media all the the the drag queens were posting
Speaker 3: their condolences, and you know, she put in the work
Speaker 3: and she was of a different time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I love Mazy toilet Yeah right, So

Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all we want.
Speaker 4: What we needed that.
Speaker 3: Nick jokers and bad lips, those songs about dick Yes,
Speaker 3: repurposing songs make it a short show. No. When when
Speaker 3: you hear about Mazy Toilette, it is one of those
Speaker 3: realization moments that you are getting older. And you're thinking, God, yeah,
Speaker 3: I used to see I think it's too bro.
Speaker 4: I sawry one and.
Speaker 3: She was quite you established then and people were wrapped,

Speaker 2: fundraising and showing Netflix special a while ago where they

Speaker 2: and she met up with the oldest drag queen from
Speaker 2: the America right, right, And it was two old blokes
Speaker 2: having a cup of tea in Brighton of that right,
Speaker 2: talking about drag and it was just like the most
Speaker 2: surreal moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, do you know what's really strange when you
Speaker 3: watch the drag race in the UK, there is definitely
Speaker 3: there's a massive difference in the essence of drag and
Speaker 3: you sort of see that a lot of the our
Speaker 3: drag queens do come from old souls and their drag mothers,
Speaker 3: as they say, that's who they've learned from. People like
Speaker 3: Macy and you forget that sometimes because it is so
Speaker 3: commercial now that you forget that people like this existed
Speaker 3: and paved the way, which is so this is our
Speaker 3: kind of farewell to a drag.

Speaker 2: It's very much. It's the best bits of people's.
Speaker 3: Best, the worst bits of people. The worst bits are
Speaker 3: the best, the best comedy bits. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: So apart from it from Brenda, who everybody knows, do
Speaker 2: you have any other characters.
Speaker 3: That you do or Yeah, we've got Tony Finn, which
Speaker 3: is the local but it's a bit like a Frank
Speaker 3: Gallagher kind of character. But as was. The one I
Speaker 3: did was a bit because I actually knew him, actually
Speaker 3: was he used to have all kinds of stuff wrong
Speaker 3: with him. He was a guy that I actually knew
Speaker 3: from the pub. So when we went to the pub once,
Speaker 3: there was a guy there with an overcoat on and
Speaker 3: he had his pajamas on, So said, why have you
Speaker 3: got your pajamas on?
Speaker 4: Was like, oh, I'll just spen to the hospital and
Speaker 4: I need a drink.
Speaker 3: So he left the pub. He left the hospital to
Speaker 3: go to the pub in his pajamas. Yeah, did you
Speaker 3: go back to the hospital. I don't know, that's that's
Speaker 3: what I need. I don't actually know. I don't know
Speaker 3: how it ended for him. That was very That was
Speaker 3: a long time ago. But yeah, out to say that
Speaker 3: he's probably gone now the pub, Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Any other characters that you have?
Speaker 3: Who else? I've done a few, to be fair, I
Speaker 3: did a manking, started out doing a monk gangster. I
Speaker 3: want to be that was They're all over I say,
Speaker 3: I would say that Brenda is the main one, to
Speaker 3: be honest with. Yeah, that's the one that people want
Speaker 3: to see whenever I whenever I step out of that
Speaker 3: And do you want to be a little bit creative.
Speaker 3: Where's Brenda? Yeah, people put you back in messing around
Speaker 3: and get that work on. And that's kind of how
Speaker 3: it was. And I can't really I kind of tracked myself,
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: So what do you do with someone you do try
Speaker 2: these other characters and people say, no, what Brenda, Brenda?
Speaker 2: What do you stop doing those other characters?
Speaker 4: Or it's tough and it do what I want. It's
Speaker 4: my channel, please and subscribe.
Speaker 3: No I do. I understand that, but it's like doing
Speaker 3: the same job over and over and over. I've run
Speaker 3: out of stuff to talk about. I've been doing this.
Speaker 3: I've been Brenda for about eleven years now. And when
Speaker 3: I was doing in it, no one. There was me
Speaker 3: and another guy that was doing it. Now because of
Speaker 3: TikTok and reels and shorts and stuff, every man, every
Speaker 3: guy is doing his mum a lot of it. The
Speaker 3: stuff that we've all already done and did it really well.
Speaker 4: It all went viral.
Speaker 3: So to go back and do the same thing when
Speaker 3: there's so many people doing it anyway, it would be
Speaker 3: a bit.
Speaker 4: It's just it gets lost. It's lost, you know.
Speaker 3: So we try our best, but you know, he's only
Speaker 3: so many things we can talk about over and over,
Speaker 3: So what's next? What's next? More the same. I desperately
Speaker 3: want to get on stage, definitely want to do some
Speaker 3: live shows. But I've been promising this for years and
Speaker 3: I have a bit of stage fright. I have a
Speaker 3: bit of you know, you got cell tickets and all that.
Speaker 3: It's very overwhelming. So I just need to get me
Speaker 3: backsiding gear and just go just jump on a stage
Speaker 3: as Brenda Edinburgh Fringe. Yeah, that we did ask to too.
Speaker 3: We did actually get approach to do a show and
Speaker 3: I started writing it and I got halfway through it,
Speaker 3: and then I had an idea of doing like a
Speaker 3: parody show where you can add the parodies that Brenda
Speaker 3: has done before and do it like that.
Speaker 4: But it's like.
Speaker 3: Licensing and stuff like that, and when it gets all
