Full transcript

Jordan 0:02:02 Right, I've gotta start the episode by saying I'm in my padel kit.

William 0:02:07 I think it's unprofessional.

Jordan 0:02:09 I'm playing padel. Says you. You came in gym kit before.

William 0:02:12 Because I was filming a parkour video.

Jordan 0:02:15 Yeah.

William 0:02:16 And at least my arms were covered. I mean, thank God we're not in a Catholic church. That's what I'd say.

Jordan 0:02:20 It's only a vest. I got padel after this. I actually feel a bit weird without it.

William 0:02:24 Well, I've got the show, but I'm not sitting here with my birds and my pussy bow, am I?

Jordan 0:02:27 Beg your pardon?

William 0:02:28 My birds and my pussy boat.

Jordan 0:02:29 Who's that?

William 0:02:30 My pussy boat.

Jordan 0:02:31 Okay.

Speaker E 0:02:32 If you are watching on YouTube, there is a potential for a nip slip.

William 0:02:36 Yes, if you're watching on YouTube, or as it has now become, YouPorn.

Jordan 0:02:40 Should I put a t-shirt on or something?

William 0:02:43 You look lovely.

Jordan 0:02:44 Just feel a bit weird now.

William 0:02:46 The forums are going to love it.

Jordan 0:02:52 Hello and welcome to Help I Sexed With My Boss, the podcast where we help you navigate the challenges of modern life. Answering your 21st century questions and finding solutions to those everyday dilemmas, like what should you do when your partner has been drying their genitalia with your face towel? Or how do you cope with being super duper extra horny during the heatwave?

William 0:03:12 You turn up in a vest.

Jordan 0:03:13 And what should you do if you've accidentally sexted your boss? But we're not your usual agony aunt, are we? William Hanson, the UK's leading etiquette expert.

William 0:03:21 No, we're not. Jordan North, Capital Radio show host. I'm more London West End, you're more Preston North End.

Jordan 0:03:26 I beg your pardon? Preston North End? Is that a football thing? Well, yeah.

William 0:03:31 You were born in Preston, or lived in Preston.

Jordan 0:03:33 I lived there, but I'm not a North End fan, am I?

William 0:03:35 Oh, okay.

Jordan 0:03:36 I'm not a knob ender.

William 0:03:37 You need to talk to Archie, because that was from Archie.

Jordan 0:03:40 Oh, thank you, Archie.

William 0:03:41 Would you like to do the G&D?

Jordan 0:03:42 I mean, yeah, all right. Do you want me to do it? Do you want the measure? Do you need a measure? No, no, no. Why measure? We're amongst friends, aren't we?

William 0:03:49 Drop me to the ice first.

Jordan 0:03:50 Go on, pop some ice in there. 2 in.

William 0:03:52 Clear! You can do that one.

Jordan 0:03:54 What?

William 0:03:56 I'm just telling you, you can do it. Clear! That one's clear now.

Jordan 0:03:59 Are you all right?

William 0:04:01 Yes, I'm absolutely fine.

Jordan 0:04:02 I feel very self-conscious in this vest. I really do.

William 0:04:06 Well, the gel will help. It's quite a lot of it. Oh, actually, do you need another D?

Jordan 0:04:12 No, there's enough there. There's loads of D. There's loads of D there.

William 0:04:15 Not, not with his measures.

Jordan 0:04:17 Yeah, look. Just enough.

William 0:04:20 That is half and half.

Jordan 0:04:23 Where's me shout wipe? I've spilt D on me PE shorts.

William 0:04:26 And we're going to toast Katie, who messaged in to say, hi, Will and Jordan, I've been a huge fan of the show for ages, and my 21st birthday is coming up soon. To celebrate, I'm asking my favourite people for their best wisdom or absolute chaos from that age. What's the wildest, funniest, or most memorable story you have from when you were 21? Keep doing what you do. Love the show. Katie. I sucked off Jordan North.

Jordan 0:04:47 That is not true. Um, oh God, I don't know.

William 0:04:54 I can't— I mean, it sounds awful, I can't really remember.

Jordan 0:04:56 No, no, because you didn't really drink, did you?

William 0:04:59 No, no, I didn't drink until I was 22. I went to Magaluf when I was 21.

Jordan 0:05:03 Hmm.

William 0:05:04 Hmm. I—

Jordan 0:05:07 Just saying.

William 0:05:07 Because I'm in between one of— I think one of my university holidays, I went around all the National Trust in sort of the southwest area.

Jordan 0:05:15 You see, that's how we were different when we started out, because I watched my mate finger a girl from Stoke.

Speaker E 0:05:20 Were you in Stoke at the time, or was the girl from Stoke?

Jordan 0:05:24 No, she were from Stoke. Okay.

William 0:05:25 And now you're a bit Stoke-on-Trent.

Jordan 0:05:27 It was, it was on a dance floor.

William 0:05:30 Okay. Was there consent?

Jordan 0:05:33 Yeah, of course. Okay, fine, good. Because I'm not gonna say it, but I've talked to this about Gen Zs before. When we were— when we used to go out, I don't want to start the episode.

William 0:05:45 When we?

Jordan 0:05:46 You. But everybody used to get fingered. Now you never see it, which is probably right.

William 0:05:51 Why do you think I'm in freedom all the time?

Jordan 0:05:52 Oh, wow. Okay, cheers.

William 0:05:54 It's a joke. Anyway, Katie, this is you. We can't really remember, but just whatever you do, just enjoy it and don't feel pressured to do anything that you don't want to do. Yeah. Is what we'd say.

Jordan 0:06:02 Exactly. Don't feel pressured to do a podcast anyfest.

William 0:06:07 Oh my God. Jordan, we did not pressure you.

Jordan 0:06:09 You did.

William 0:06:10 No, we didn't. I was advocating for the t-shirt.

Speaker E 0:06:14 If you keep thinking about it—

Jordan 0:06:16 I'm putting my t-shirt on.

William 0:06:18 Oh, for God's sake.

Jordan 0:06:19 Okay, hang on. I'll keep the cap on.

William 0:06:23 If anything, I'd rather you kept the vest and took off the hat. Why? Well, because I just don't like hats indoors. Especially backwards as well. That's particularly offensive. Please hold, listeners. Jordan is just changing. To be fair, his pasty arms were actually breaking up the red. So, I mean, maybe he should have stayed.

Jordan 0:06:43 The only reason I didn't wear this is because I've worn it in the gym, so it stinks of BO.

William 0:06:47 Oh, good. Oh, lovely.

Jordan 0:06:50 Like, have we got any Febreze about?

William 0:06:54 No.

Jordan 0:06:55 If it smells of BO, I'll put the vest back on.

Speaker E 0:06:57 We're not changing again.

Jordan 0:06:58 Alright, I've been told we're not changing again.

William 0:07:00 Shall I go and wear the vest?

Jordan 0:07:03 Yeah, you should.

William 0:07:04 No. How are you?

Jordan 0:07:06 I'm good, how are you?

William 0:07:08 Yeah, what's gone on?

Jordan 0:07:09 Oh, you know, the same old, same old thing. I'm on a losing streak at the moment. It happens every—

William 0:07:16 With your hair?

Jordan 0:07:16 Every now and then in my, in my life. I've lost 2 pairs of good sunglasses.

William 0:07:22 Yeah.

Jordan 0:07:22 One of them weren't mine, which is annoying because—

William 0:07:25 I lost my sunglasses the other day, actually. I reckon I knew.

Jordan 0:07:27 Always the expensive sunglasses you lose. Yep. I've only got one expensive pair of sunglasses, and that's me Ray-Bans. Right, and I like the classic Clubman ones and I wear them for best. All my other ones, right, are just cheap.

William 0:07:42 What is best?

Jordan 0:07:43 Like, for sunglasses?

William 0:07:44 Yeah, because I wouldn't say you should wear sunglasses. Like, for a nice outfit and stuff.

Jordan 0:07:48 Okay. You wear them like— anyway, I've lost them and I don't know how, so I'm really peed off because all me— it's typical. So I've had sunglasses for years, like, I've got a pair of sunglasses I think I've had about 6 years and they cost me about a tenner. Yeah, I've had some like from ASOS that were £4 and I can't lose them for love of the money. But these ones, so I've lost them, my AirPods, wallet. I don't know where my wallet is. I know I've had to cancel all my cards, keys, pair of shorts, 2 gym tops, and a trainer.

William 0:08:19 Just one trainer? That's annoying.

Jordan 0:08:22 Did I tell you about my trainer? I only got— yeah, I've lost another one since.

William 0:08:27 Honestly, you would forget your head if it wasn't screwed on. I know.

Jordan 0:08:29 So I'm on a bit of a— on a bit of a losing streak at the moment, which is annoying.

William 0:08:33 Yeah, I bet. Yeah, I would agree. Talking of trainers, I have paused Jack It Up Joel.

Jordan 0:08:40 Oh, okay.

William 0:08:41 I have— if anything, he's jacked off.

Jordan 0:08:44 Have you—

William 0:08:44 For the time being.

Jordan 0:08:45 Have you fallen out?

William 0:08:46 No, I haven't fallen out. I just need to conserve energy for other things. We're nearly at the end. But he was surprised that I was even trying to attempt to keep it up during the show.

Jordan 0:08:57 Yeah, that's fair enough.

William 0:08:59 So when I— To do what? I was attempting to keep it up during the show. And I said, no, I can't. I haven't got the stamina. So, Joel, I just need to sort of pause jacking it up. And once I'm back from my holiday after the show, I'll hit the ground running.

Jordan 0:09:13 Your eyes look like 2 piss holes in snow, if you don't mind me saying.

William 0:09:17 Thank you very much.

Jordan 0:09:18 Yeah, you can tell it's getting towards there. But you've done well. You've had a good stint.

William 0:09:22 Oh, I mean, I'm not dying.

Jordan 0:09:24 Yeah, I know. But it's good, and you need this holiday and have a nice rest.

William 0:09:28 Well, it's taking 2 children to Disneyland, so I'm not convinced that's the most restful of holidays. I'm a Mikey. Oh, we'll be fine. But it'll be happy memories.

Jordan 0:09:39 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker E 0:09:41 Are you on a losing streak on your paddle as well, Jordan?

Jordan 0:09:44 No, I'm honestly— Smashing padel at the moment. I don't want to say it because I don't want to jinx it. You've just got to be the ball in padel. And I was— started out really bad, but now I'm like, I'm on all these padel clubs, I'm following, I'm watching padel YouTube videos, smacking it off the wall, smacking it into the net. My padel's not too bad either. It's, yeah, smashing it.

William 0:10:08 Okay, so I'm not obviously a tennis or padel person, although I have played both. Genuinely, what is the difference in terms of the rules? I know padel, you can obviously hit against the walls, etc. What is the difference from the rules between padel and tennis? Or are there none? It is basically—

Jordan 0:10:23 Similar, but you've got a wall and a smaller court, and you tend— Oh, the court's smaller?

William 0:10:26 Yeah, a lot smaller.

Jordan 0:10:27 And you tend to play in doubles. In pairs, yeah.

Speaker E 0:10:30 And different rackets is the key difference. Yeah, it's a smaller racket. It's like an E, but it hits it so strong.

William 0:10:35 It's not strong, is it? No.

Jordan 0:10:38 It's a great— I really love it. I really— I play every— usually every Thursday, but I love it. So I actually go for beers after. It's just part of the social. You know, you can just go for beers.

William 0:10:46 Yeah, but you feel better because you've burnt.

Jordan 0:10:48 Like, now we're playing an hour and a half and we've got a good thing going as well with the people we're playing with. And yeah, it's, it, it, it's great. Best thing as well, they serve Mahou beer there at my padel court. Proper Spanish good beer. Mahou, M-A-U, is that how you pronounce it?

Speaker F 0:11:02 German.

Jordan 0:11:03 I've been told, I've been told as well, when I say what score is it and they say 15-love.

William 0:11:07 You've been told to stop saying that?

Jordan 0:11:09 Yeah, because they said it weren't funny in first week and I was— I always go, cheers, love. But the best one is I go, what's going on? They go, juice. And I go, no, I'm all right, I've got some water. Sometimes gets a laugh. No. Am I doing Jolly Joker week this week? Yeah, oh God help us. So yeah, I'd love to play with you just to watch you.

William 0:11:27 Invite me.

Speaker G 0:11:28 Yeah, exactly. You, me, Jack, and Ben.

Jordan 0:11:31 Invite you to all sorts. You never want to hang out with me outside of here. You just want to take me for my time.

William 0:11:36 Sorry, hang on, who are you looking at?

Speaker H 0:11:38 All of you.

Jordan 0:11:38 None of you want to hang out with me outside of here. Let's go around the room. Let's go around the room.

William 0:11:43 Right. When was the last time that you were invited to something, Ben?

Speaker E 0:11:46 I was invited by Jordan to play football with him before Soccer Aid, and I did go to it.

William 0:11:51 Okay.

Jordan 0:11:51 I've invited you to jet washing. I've invited you to padel. You haven't invited me to jet washing. I even said, let me know if you're free for a beer this Sunday, a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker E 0:11:58 Yeah, and I said, yeah, I'm free. And you said, oh, actually I'm busy. That doesn't count.

Jordan 0:12:01 Well, the thought was there.

William 0:12:03 Jack, when was the last time you were invited to something?

Speaker I 0:12:05 I was also invited to football, but I was given 24 hours' notice, so I couldn't do that. Right. But I would have loved to.

William 0:12:12 Okay. Izzy?

Speaker J 0:12:13 Went to a Burnley match about 2 years ago.

Jordan 0:12:15 You didn't go to a Burnley match 2 years ago. We went to—

Speaker E 0:12:18 Not last season we did. It was Burnley in the Championship, so it was 2 years ago.

Speaker K 0:12:23 Yeah, it was QPR, weren't it?

Jordan 0:12:25 Yeah. It was a year ago.

William 0:12:26 Izzy's coming to stay with me this week.

Jordan 0:12:29 Is she? Why?

William 0:12:31 Why? Just because we're friends.

Jordan 0:12:33 You've been kicked out again.

William 0:12:36 We're gonna hang out.

Jordan 0:12:36 Been kicked out. I can imagine what for.

William 0:12:41 No, she's not been kicked out. She's only just moved house.

Jordan 0:12:45 So why are you staying over?

William 0:12:48 She's just gonna just hang out.

Jordan 0:12:49 Oh, okay. Yeah, fair enough.

William 0:12:50 She's not staying on the sofa, obviously, because I don't allow anyone to sleep on that. No. Giving an actual— giving her an actual bed in the guest room. Sheets on a boil wash afterwards, but You've only yourself to blame, love.

Jordan 0:13:04 I'm joking. I'm joking. We actually do love Gen Z, Izzy. Oh, I'd love for you to come and stay at ours. I would. What else been going on with you?

William 0:13:14 Well, I've got into my barbecuing. Had some friends around on Monday for a little barbecue, little impromptu barbecue.

Jordan 0:13:21 Okay.

William 0:13:21 A little diddle. Got on my bike and went up to the butcher's.

Jordan 0:13:24 Gas or coal?

William 0:13:25 Uh, I'm gas and electric. I'm, I'm bi-fuel.

Jordan 0:13:31 That's not proper barbecue.

William 0:13:33 Well, I'm enjoying it. Remember, I have never barbecued anything in my life. So, I'm gonna make it easy for myself.

Jordan 0:13:38 Bet you're like a mum. You cook everything oven first and then put it on barbecue.

William 0:13:41 Absolutely I'm not. Thank you very much. No, I got into the bar— onto the bike, went up to the butcher's, put all my meat in the basket at the front, sort of pedalled back home.

Jordan 0:13:51 Only you could make a barbecue sound gay.

William 0:13:55 And yes, and then we fire it up. Smoke, it's like stars in their eyes. They love it. And then you sort of pop all your sausages and your chicken kebabs.

Jordan 0:14:05 We know how a barbecue works.

William 0:14:07 And after 10 minutes, it's all lovely, ready to eat. Did some nice salads, did a mix of wedges.

Jordan 0:14:12 Ooh, delicious. A range of condiments.

William 0:14:16 And it went down very well. And then did a lovely peach hazelnut and raspberry cake. For pudding.

Jordan 0:14:22 See, does that not just sound like the gayest barbecue you've ever heard of?

William 0:14:25 Well, what do you serve for pudding at a barbecue?

Jordan 0:14:27 We don't. Everyone's too full to eat.

William 0:14:29 No!

Jordan 0:14:30 I get out 20 Marlboro Lights and that's about it.

William 0:14:33 We don't encourage that.

Jordan 0:14:34 We don't encourage that. We actually don't. We don't. Seriously, we don't.

William 0:14:37 Well, at my very executive barbecue— I wonder if I'll share a photograph of my executive barbecue.

Jordan 0:14:42 What salad did you do?

William 0:14:43 Just a very plain. So I just get a mix of romaine, And the darker baby gem ones, the sort of the purpley ones. Chop that up, bit of olive oil and lemon juice, salt. That's all you need.

Jordan 0:14:55 Ah, see, I make a Greek salad.

William 0:14:57 No, you see, I think salads, you can overdo a salad. No, I agree. You just want a classic French salad.

Jordan 0:15:02 Yeah, bit of Greek salad. Get it on. I put oregano on mine, everything.

William 0:15:05 Oregano?

Jordan 0:15:06 Yeah, bit of olive oil.

Speaker L 0:15:08 Folded paper.

Jordan 0:15:10 Yeah, that's what it was called. It's oregano. Oregano. Oh, sorry, I forgot the O and the E. Twats. And what? Nobs. Anyway, that's how I met my— I'm gonna have a barbecue. I'm gonna invite you all around. I'm gonna have a barbecue.

William 0:15:25 Well, we'll clear our diaries.

Jordan 0:15:27 I actually, I actually will. Um, that's— I'll remind myself.

William 0:15:30 Who actually— who do you think will get the team round first, me or Jordan? We know that when it goes in on Jordan's to-do list, it gets done.

Jordan 0:15:40 What's going on? My PA, William Hanson, will be in touch. If it goes quiet after this West End stint, I'll sort it out.

William 0:15:49 Jordan, I hope it goes quiet after this West End stint.

Jordan 0:15:52 I'll give you 2 days a week. 2 days a week and put me washing away. You got yourself a deal.

William 0:15:57 Okay, I mean, Jordan's now shaking my hand. I mean, I didn't actually ask for that, but okay.

Jordan 0:16:01 You'd be so good.

William 0:16:02 I would be such a good PA. You would murder me, but I would love to be your PA.

Jordan 0:16:07 Yeah.

William 0:16:07 I would sort quite a few things out. In a good way. I like— I like— I, you know, it comes naturally to me to be bossy.

Jordan 0:16:15 And organised. And demonstrative.

William 0:16:17 And so I think it would be great.

Jordan 0:16:19 Quick one. I just want your natural reaction. Oh god. Okay. I am genuinely— I've been thinking about this a couple of years, nearly did it about 2 years ago, but now, 'cause a mate of mine's done it, I think I'm gonna copy him. I'm gonna get a Vespa. Martini? No.

William 0:16:37 Mm?

Jordan 0:16:37 A scooter.

William 0:16:39 Yeah, you've toyed with this before.

Jordan 0:16:41 I'm really thinking I might get one. Where will you scoot? Again, how can you make this sound gay?

William 0:16:47 Jordan, you're getting a Vespa. That is pretty gay.

Jordan 0:16:50 So it's a moped, right? I'm gonna get a moped.

William 0:16:53 You look like Jennifer Coolidge in White Lotus.

Speaker M 0:16:56 These gays are trying to kill me.

Jordan 0:17:01 I've always wanted one, and my mate's just got one, Jake, and I'm like, Oh, and he looks so cool. And I'm like, yeah, but Jake is cool. I, I would get around that there London so quick. I'd never be late for this because I could put me helmet on, jump on Vespa. I'd be like Jamie Oliver. I genuinely want one. It's a really good blue one. The naked radio presenter. Yeah. Do you not think, Izzy, we always ask you, do you think Vespas are cool?

Speaker N 0:17:29 I actually do, but not when you do it.

Jordan 0:17:30 She said, I actually do, but not when you do it. Genuinely. But could you take it— Would you have a key?

William 0:17:36 Alright. Are you— are you thinking of taking it to work? You're just doing it for—

Jordan 0:17:40 Yeah. It plays a part.

William 0:17:42 But think, you're tired, and particularly after the show, do you really want to— if you're tired, to be driving yourself?

Jordan 0:17:48 Everyone I've suggested it to is like, no, I'm really worried about you. Yeah, I would be.

William 0:17:51 I jump on bikes all the time. And it's dangerous. It's London. It's not like you're going around the coast in Palermo. You are in London. We could all get a Vespa. I'm not getting a Vespa.

Jordan 0:18:00 I want— I've seen one for a really good price near me. Blue one. Electric blue.

Speaker E 0:18:05 Which, what, what is electric blue?

Jordan 0:18:07 It's like blue, but it's bright. It's blue that's electric? Bright blue. It looks cool. I'm just genuinely— it might be a bit harder in winter.

William 0:18:15 And do tell me you will wear a helmet.

Jordan 0:18:16 Of course I'll wear a helmet. That's a legal requirement. That's a legal requirement.

William 0:18:20 Okay, good.

Jordan 0:18:20 Of course I will. I think I'd look cool. I think— is this a midlife crisis or?

William 0:18:26 It's something.

Jordan 0:18:28 And they're only— they're just nippy, aren't they?

William 0:18:31 A bit. Nip here, nip there.

Jordan 0:18:32 Yeah.

William 0:18:32 How— what's the range on it? What's the furthest you could go?

Jordan 0:18:35 Do you mean it's petrol?

William 0:18:36 Yeah, but— yeah, but—

Jordan 0:18:37 We've not got motorways, so I can't go up to Burnley on it.

William 0:18:39 No. Well, no, don't— don't take your Vespa to Burnley, darling.

Jordan 0:18:43 Why? They'd love it.

William 0:18:45 They'd laugh.

Jordan 0:18:46 Would they? Well, I'll take it. I'll buy a Harley-Davidson then.

William 0:18:49 I don't think you can take that up to Burnley.

Jordan 0:18:52 Oh, maybe it starts in a Vespa and then in 2 years—

William 0:18:54 Jordan and his London ways, sitting on his Vespa Is it quite London to get a Vespa? Yeah.

Jordan 0:18:59 No, I think it's cool.

William 0:19:00 I think I said to you at the time, and I know not many people got the reference. I know my friend Christian got it, that you will look like the start of The Andrew Marr Show titles when he was on his little Vespa back in the day. If you look it up, what The Andrew Marr Show titles— he was pootling around London, going past the Houses of Parliament and all that jazz on his Vespa.

Jordan 0:19:17 I think I've just got to scratch this itch. I've talked about it before, and I think now's the time to do it.

William 0:19:22 Okay, well, if you're happy, go for it. Then you're not— it's not hurting anyone.

Jordan 0:19:25 You're barbecuing, I'm Vespering. People change.

William 0:19:28 They do.

Jordan 0:19:29 And if that doesn't prove it, I don't know what will.

William 0:19:31 Who can say if we've been changed for the better?

Jordan 0:19:33 Because I can. Because—

William 0:19:35 Oh, so close!

Jordan 0:19:37 What is it?

William 0:19:38 Because I knew you.

Jordan 0:19:39 Because I knew you.

William 0:19:40 Because I knew you.

Jordan 0:19:41 Because I knew you.

William 0:19:42 He's holding my finger. I have been changed for good. Oh, cute. We did that on tour, brought the house down. It did. That's where then someone shouted, gay! Gay! Yeah.

Jordan 0:19:53 Anything else? What's going on?

William 0:19:54 I'm obsessed with alligator videos. Occasionally crocodile when I feel like mixing it up.

Jordan 0:19:59 What's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?

William 0:20:01 Well, one's an alligator and one's a crocodile. Yeah, but— No, it's the width of the snout. Crocodiles have a sort of a narrower, pointier nose, whereas alligators, they're a bit bigger.

Jordan 0:20:09 Are they? But they're the same, aren't they?

William 0:20:12 They're both reptiles. Let's put it this way. An alligator, if you were in the water with an alligator, you probably wouldn't survive. But crocodiles will always attack, whereas alligators are a bit lazier. Right.

Speaker E 0:20:26 You've also got caiman.

William 0:20:27 Yes, you have got caiman found in South America.

Jordan 0:20:30 What's them?

William 0:20:32 Like smaller crocodiles. Again, you don't want to go near a caiman. You don't want to go near an alligator. And I'll tell you why this started, I think.

Jordan 0:20:41 I started doing a podcast with Steve Irwin with this, bless his soul.

William 0:20:45 My brother was, as a child, obsessed with the crocodile from Peter Pan. So thus, if we went to Bristol Zoo where they had a crocodile— I mean, it was absolutely microscopic, but they had a crocodile— we'd always have to look at bit. We went to America where they had crocodiles. We'd have to go and look at them. And so much attention was put on James liking crocodiles. And I think James is interested in crocodiles now, but is actually not that fussed. I said this on something else recently, I'd quite like to come back as an alligator. I just find them absolutely fascinating. Like, if one— I mean, if one was in here now, I would panic, but if there was—

Jordan 0:21:21 We all would.

William 0:21:21 Yeah. If there was a lake, and there was a safe sort of barrier, I will— like Gatorland in Florida, I'm obsessed with.

Jordan 0:21:30 I never knew this about you.

William 0:21:32 There is something so— and also when you are so close to them. Where my aunt and uncle used to live in South Carolina, you would go cycling, and you would just literally cycle past one. Shut up. Yeah, they just get on the bank.

Jordan 0:21:44 I cycled past a snake in Spain and shit myself.

William 0:21:47 Yeah, well, this is an alligator. And they're just basking in the sun. And there, that's where— I mean, you don't want to go up and start petting it, but that's where they're just sunbathing. It's like, well, if you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. But then my aunt and uncle were told, because where they used to live— imagine sort of Desperate Housewives-y area, that's where they sort of lived— during mating season in May, do not walk at night.

Jordan 0:22:08 Why?

William 0:22:08 Just get in your car, drive, because that's where they're more territorial, and they're coming out the lagoons and crossing.

Jordan 0:22:14 The world we live in. So crocodiles, their horny season's May.

William 0:22:20 Alligators.

Jordan 0:22:21 Alligators.

William 0:22:21 In South Carolina. I don't know if it changes depending on where you are. But no, at night you just don't walk. You just get in your car.

Jordan 0:22:30 And you obviously watch your pets and stuff.

William 0:22:32 Don't have dogs.

Jordan 0:22:33 Really?

William 0:22:34 Literally the bottom of my— sort of where the— what's the— who are they? Ellison— that studio. Jack.

Jordan 0:22:40 Jack. Yeah.

William 0:22:41 As close as we are to there was a lagoon at the end of their garden with no defence other than grass. I'll put a video on. They don't live there now, so I can share this video. And there are just alligators going up and down.

Jordan 0:22:52 But the thing is, with an alligator, if one come in your garden, you could probably shoo it away with a brush or a mop.

William 0:22:56 You could give it a go, yeah.

Jordan 0:22:58 Whereas a snake, I'd just shit myself.

William 0:23:00 Well, snakes go so quick. I mean, alligators can go quite quickly, but snakes really go.

Jordan 0:23:04 Do they?

William 0:23:05 But if there is a— if there's a video about anything to do with alligators, My Instagram serves it to me, and I'm fine with that.

Jordan 0:23:13 Well, I was going to put a question out whether chocolate tastes different now, but I think you've used up all your time on alligators.

William 0:23:18 Have I? Sorry.

Jordan 0:23:19 Yeah. Is it me, or is chocolate just not the same at the moment? Honestly, I had a Rocky the other day. It was like—

William 0:23:27 You gave me a chocolate finger and it felt different.

Jordan 0:23:29 I know, it's something not right about chocolate at the moment. Is that just me?

William 0:23:33 It could be your taste buds changed.

Jordan 0:23:34 No, I don't know what it is. Is it my nose? No, it's not.

William 0:23:37 Well, but there was— I'm not going to say the There was a big chocolate factory that got bought by another chocolate provider, and there's all sorts of thoughts about whether the chocolate's not as good. Chocolate's not right.

Jordan 0:23:45 But it's all different brands. I don't know if it's my taste buds. Maybe it is.

William 0:23:48 Could be.

Jordan 0:23:48 Anyway, ready for Jordan's Jolly Joke of the Week?

William 0:23:50 Jordan, please. Here is the jingle.

Speaker O 0:23:53 If you like a chap who's cheeky and northern, you're in for a treat with our Jordan. And if a giggle is what you seek, you're sure to love Jordan's Jolly Joke of the Week. Cha-cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha-cha.

William 0:24:08 Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.

Jordan 0:24:10 A man has admitted to the hospital—

William 0:24:13 A man has admitted to the hospital? Or a man has been admitted?

Jordan 0:24:16 A man was admitted to the hospital today with 25 plastic toy horses inserted in his arse. And I'll tell you the punchline after the break.

Jordan 0:28:06 All right, Gene Divas, thanks for sticking with us. Now time for the punchline of Jordan's Jolly Joke of the Week. This one is from, uh, Deborah White. who sent it me on Instagram. A man was admitted to hospital today with 25 plastic toy horses inserted in his arsehole. Doctors have described his condition as stable.

William 0:28:28 That's funny. I like that.

Jordan 0:28:32 Very good. I've got another one as well for you. But now I can't find it.

William 0:28:36 Should we actually just rename it? And I'm not saying this to be like— Jordan Strollie Jokes of the Week.

Jordan 0:28:41 Jordan Jokes of the Week. Would that actually— I actually— I can't find it. You know, I was on about chocolate before.

William 0:28:45 Yeah.

Jordan 0:28:45 You know bananas? Yeah, it's supposed to clean your colon.

William 0:28:50 What, putting one up? Like, what?

Jordan 0:28:52 I found out today you're supposed to eat them.

William 0:28:54 Oh, very good.

Jordan 0:28:58 Very good.

William 0:28:59 Right, should we go on to the dilemmas?

Jordan 0:29:01 Clean your colon, but you're meant to eat them. Now it's time for your questions and dilemmas. Remember, if you need our help with something, do get in touch. You can send your tales of trepidation to help@sexwithmyboss.com, or you can DM us. We're @sexwithmyboss on the socials.

William 0:29:14 Alright, our first dilemma is from Joe. Hi William and Jordan. Recently I bought a suit for my upcoming graduation ceremony. I wanted to look the part and I realised quite early on that this would mean buying a shirt, but I had no idea what size I was. So off to the slopes I went. Needing to try on multiple shirt options, I took a few different options into the changing room. And here is where my dilemma starts. What is the correct etiquette for disposing of all the excess packaging that comes with a shirt once you've tried it on? You always have a piece of cardboard on the back and collar, multiple plastic clips to take off, and on occasions, random bits of paper. Am I supposed to try and refold the shirts and put them back into their original form with cardboard and all? Or do I leave what is, in my eyes, a big mess in the changing rooms, knowing that the staff members will clean it up after me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joe.

Jordan 0:30:00 Joe, I think you've done something wrong there. Usually they bring you the shirt to try on.

William 0:30:04 Mm, sometimes. Well, yeah, or they will unpackage it themselves.

Jordan 0:30:07 They've got try-on shirts. So you know. Yeah. Which is always annoying. Depends on the store. 'Cause I did one of the try-on shirts, and I got home, put the shirt on, Totally different size. Yeah, and it just didn't fit. It looks massive on me.

William 0:30:22 I would— if you are going to take it, you are not meant to fold it back and put all the cardboard back in and the little clips on the shoulders, etc. No one is expecting you to do that. If you are then buying it, then obviously take it to the till. If you're not, you give it back to them and then say, I'll just— I'm not finished yet. I'm going to go back and clear up the packaging, and then go and, you know, bring it to them and go, Where's the bin? There is a lot that comes with shirts.

Jordan 0:30:45 There is a lot of— There's little flippy-on bits as well.

William 0:30:48 I often do— there are certain websites where you're buying them online and you can click, send it to me with reduced packaging.

Jordan 0:30:52 Oh!

William 0:30:53 And that's a godsend.

Jordan 0:30:54 Oh, I did. I'll keep that in mind. Both the outer box. Do you know what I didn't know from Amazon? You taught me that you can get it all delivered together as well.

William 0:31:00 On your delivery day?

Jordan 0:31:01 Yeah, when you're getting like little bits. Rather than—

William 0:31:03 Very good for the environment, so it don't come in bits.

Jordan 0:31:06 Ben, you weren't aware of that, were you? I have no idea what you're talking about, to be honest. When you get stuff delivered from Amazon, you can press a button, it all gets delivered together in the same box.

Speaker E 0:31:16 Right, yeah.

Jordan 0:31:16 So it's not coming on 2 different days.

William 0:31:18 Like, so you have one box tomorrow, one box—

Jordan 0:31:19 Good for environment.

William 0:31:20 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we'd recommend. If it's not urgent, just have it on one day. Next is from Anonymous. Hello, William and Jordan. I recently had a situationship come to an end. Unfortunately, I'd left my prescription sunglasses at their house. Sunglasses. And because they're made to suit my terrible eyesight, they cost over £400 and I'd like them back. However, I've run into an issue where they're ignoring my text to arrange for me to come and collect them. How should I go about retrieving them? For a bit of context, they're the ones who ended this situationship over text. Maybe they are— maybe— I mean, it's annoying, and they're your property, so you have every right to—

Jordan 0:31:55 £400 though.

William 0:31:56 Yeah. Well, it doesn't matter if they're £40. They're your sunglasses. You want them back. And if they hold onto them, that is technically theft. So I would say they are probably seeing it as you are trying to like, oh, I've left my sunglasses. Can I come and get them? Ooh, whoops, you're inside me, type of thing. That's probably how they're saying it. Okay?

Jordan 0:32:17 I'm with you.

William 0:32:18 So, I think you need to make it perfectly clear. Can I have my sunglasses back? I can send you some packaging if you'd like to send them back. Or I can send my friend who is coming. So, just so they know—

Jordan 0:32:29 That's a good point.

William 0:32:30 That you are not doing it to, you know, have one for the road.

Jordan 0:32:35 Or if not, go round when you know they're gonna be in and just say, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want me £400 sunglasses. Hmm. Yeah, £400's a lot of money.

William 0:32:44 It's a lot of money, especially for sunglasses.

Jordan 0:32:46 The only person I knew that had subscription sunglasses were me grandma.

William 0:32:49 Prescription.

Jordan 0:32:50 Prescription.

William 0:32:50 I don't think she subscribed.

Jordan 0:32:51 But she had ones where she used to say, hang on, watch, watch, and they used to go dark in the sun.

William 0:32:59 Yes.

Jordan 0:33:00 And I used to think it were magic.

William 0:33:01 Polarised.

Jordan 0:33:02 Yeah, she'd be like, hang on, look, look, and they'd go dark.

William 0:33:07 Yeah, you can get them. I don't think it's called polarised. I think they are.

Jordan 0:33:11 But you can have the flippy-up ones as well.

William 0:33:14 Oh no, they're a bit— that's an ick.

Jordan 0:33:15 You don't see them anymore, do you?

Speaker E 0:33:17 Photochromic lenses.

William 0:33:19 But I think it's polarised lenses.

Speaker E 0:33:20 Well, yeah, but like, yeah, that's a type of lens.

William 0:33:24 Okay. Not every sunglasses. You're fairly polarising. Yeah? This next one is from Elliot. Hi, William, Jordan, and the rest of the production team. Since I started listening a short number of months ago, I have waited for a dilemma to pop up that I think is worthy of the show's time I think I've finally found one. Recently, I found myself needing a lift somewhere, and a friend kindly offered to take me where I needed to go. I met her in a car park, and she told me to hop in the back, even though the passenger seat was free. I was completely fine with this, and we had a pleasant journey. But it got me wondering, what is the etiquette for giving a friend a lift? Should you offer up the front seat or ask them to sit in the back? Love the show. All the best, Elliot. Yes, Jordan, a straight male. It's very odd to put you in the back. That is odd. You're like, if you're a child under age— Yeah, that is a bit weird.

Jordan 0:34:05 You go in the back.

William 0:34:06 Hopefully, and I can't see.

Jordan 0:34:07 Maybe they don't like people sitting next to them, or maybe they had like a messy front.

William 0:34:11 Yeah, but you would then say, oh, I'd have you in the front, but it's messy.

Jordan 0:34:16 Maybe they're a cautious driver and don't want— and some— Elliot, no offence, but do you have— how can I put this? Do you have a fat head? You know, a big head?

William 0:34:26 I'm sorry?

Jordan 0:34:27 You know, like, you know when someone's in front and they've got like a big head and you can't see out your mirrors? Maybe it's that. You know, like, people's got— see, you'd bug me if I was driving. You've got a big head, so I'd probably put you in back. I find big heads very distracting in car. I find big head very distracting. You only have to ask. So I'd put you in back. Yeah. So if I do, it's always in my provisional vision as well. What?

William 0:34:56 Provisional vision.

Jordan 0:34:57 Provisional vision.

William 0:34:58 Yeah, that's what it's called.

Jordan 0:35:00 Provision— what is it? Provisional?

William 0:35:01 Peripheral. You're right, it's in your peripheral.

Jordan 0:35:03 Peripheral vision.

William 0:35:04 Yeah.

Jordan 0:35:04 So maybe it could be that if you've got a big fat head.

William 0:35:08 Can we start a list that we can do eventually, or it can be a video montage of all the things that you've said wrong? Peripheral vision.

Speaker Q 0:35:16 That is going to be a long montage.

William 0:35:17 Subscription sunglasses. Already in this. I think that'd be really sweet.

Jordan 0:35:21 Maybe we do it as a bonus episode one day, just all of them.

William 0:35:25 Yeah.

Jordan 0:35:26 Chucked together.

William 0:35:26 Just start—

Speaker E 0:35:27 Every single one.

William 0:35:28 Yeah.

Speaker E 0:35:29 Be there for hours.

Jordan 0:35:31 No offence. What's prescri— yeah, I always get mixed up with prescriptions. I get mixed up with tomorrow and yesterday.

William 0:35:36 Do you prescribe to Netflix?

Jordan 0:35:39 No, I subscribe to it.

William 0:35:40 Well done.

Jordan 0:35:41 When I'm telling a story, I always go, I've seen him tomorrow, and I go, no, yesterday. Anyway.

William 0:35:46 This is from El. Hi, William, Jordan, and the Sex Ed team. I have an etiquette question. If I'm speaking English and then mention a word from another language, is it correct etiquette to pronounce it in that language or to say it with an English accent? For words that are already well-established in the English language, I say it how we would say it, of course, but in other situations, like certain place names, specific foods, and the like, what's the proper thing to do? I don't want to come across as pretentious to other people by putting on an accent, but as a languages student, a little part of me dies every time I have to say a German or French word incorrectly. All the best, L. So, some examples of this. For example, Barcelona. Do you say Barcelona or Barcelona?

Jordan 0:36:22 I say Barcelona because I'm not—

William 0:36:25 Barcelona.

Jordan 0:36:26 Yeah. I won't go, oh yeah, we had a lovely weekend in Barcelona.

William 0:36:30 How about Barcelona?

Jordan 0:36:32 Barcelona.

William 0:36:32 Yeah, but Barcelona or Barcelona?

Jordan 0:36:34 It's Barcelona. Oh, for fuck's sake, are you winding me up?

William 0:36:37 Barcelona. It is a long A.

Speaker E 0:36:39 It's Barcelona.

Jordan 0:36:40 Yeah. Barcelona, innit? You can't say Barcelona. Do you know what I've been finding out? I've been saying— With an R in it. Do you know what I found out today? I've been saying Wrigley's chewing gum wrong all my life. Wrigley's. It's Wrigley's.

William 0:36:51 Yes.

Jordan 0:36:52 It's got a W though.

William 0:36:53 It's got an R as well.

Jordan 0:36:54 It's got an R. Yeah, but you say Wrigley's, don't ya?

Speaker E 0:36:58 Yeah, you know, I, I specifically remember when we started this podcast. What was it, 8— is it 8 years ago?

Jordan 0:37:05 Yeah, 8 years. I'm not doing this as well to get laughs. Yeah, I was—

Speaker E 0:37:08 my mind was blown at that point that Jordan got to that point in his life and hadn't realised these things. We're 8 years later.

William 0:37:14 I remember when you did it on cover.

Jordan 0:37:15 People go, oh, he does it for effect. I genuinely did it. I've always said Wrigley's chewing gum.

William 0:37:19 Right. How often are you saying Wrigley's chewing gum? But that's the problem, isn't it? So it doesn't get caught. And Barcelona—

Jordan 0:37:26 is it Barcelona?

William 0:37:27 Barcelona.

Jordan 0:37:28 So it's not Basselona.

William 0:37:29 And you're big into your Spanish. Chorizo.

Jordan 0:37:31 Sometimes I might say chorizo, but I do say paella now.

William 0:37:35 Okay.

Jordan 0:37:36 It's not paella.

William 0:37:37 Rendezvous. How else do you say rendezvous?

Jordan 0:37:39 Rendezvous.

William 0:37:40 Rendezvous.

Jordan 0:37:41 Rendezvous. No, rendezvous.

William 0:37:43 Avant-garde.

Jordan 0:37:44 What does that mean?

William 0:37:47 A bit sort of, you know, left of field, artistic. I thought that was an actor. Avant-garde.

Jordan 0:37:56 No. Avant— I've heard of that before. Avant-garde.

William 0:37:58 Avant-garde.

Jordan 0:37:59 Je ne sais quoi.

William 0:38:00 Vice versa. Well, you're not going to go vice versa. Oh, some people say vice versa, I guess. But that's incorrect. It's no A. Je ne sais quoi. A bona fide. Bona fide? No, fide.

Jordan 0:38:12 Bona fide?

William 0:38:13 I believe.

Jordan 0:38:14 We checked that.

William 0:38:16 Mosquito. How would you say mosquito in any other— Kindergarten. Oh, we don't even say that. I should say nursery, thank you. And tsunami, which is Japanese.

Speaker E 0:38:28 I'll tell you who does that extremely well.

William 0:38:30 Tsunami, which is the Japanese for oh shit.

Speaker E 0:38:32 Stanley Tucci does it with Italian words.

Speaker Q 0:38:38 Have I talked about—

Speaker E 0:38:40 Hello there, have you got your fettuccine?

William 0:38:42 I need to talk about— I need to come back to you on this.

Speaker E 0:38:45 It's hard to do it. Try and do Stanley Tucci and then go into it.

William 0:38:48 My friend, who will remain nameless, us, absolutely cannot stand Stanley Tucci, and has got some real beef with him.

Jordan 0:38:55 Why? Is he Italian?

William 0:38:56 He's basically become a professional Italian, even though he was not born in Italy. None of his parents or grandparents were born in Italy. He's just decided— Yeah, but he's an American Italian. Yeah, because you know what Americans are like. They're desperate to come up with an identity. And so he has just decided— I think it's so unfair to say this. This is my friend's opinion. He has decided that he is going to just do Italy and own all of Italy, and being Italian is his shtick, and it winds her up.

Jordan 0:39:22 Well, I disagree. I think he's great. I'm sure he's lovely.

William 0:39:26 And I love that series.

Jordan 0:39:27 I now have a proper coffee every morning 'cause of him on the— what are they called? That coffee pot. Yeah, the Moka pot. Moka.

Speaker E 0:39:35 He's great in The Hunger Games.

Jordan 0:39:38 Yeah, he is, to be fair. He is.

William 0:39:40 He was great. I— my— the film I enjoyed him the most in with Meryl Streep, not the obvious one, one is Julie and Julia.

Jordan 0:39:47 Not seen it.

William 0:39:48 Which is about Julia Child. Excellent film. Yeah, I've seen that.

Jordan 0:39:51 TikTok Italian players being sent off. The montage. Literally, there's like a 40-minute montage of Italian players, and they all go—

William 0:39:59 Describe it for our audio listeners.

Jordan 0:40:02 And they do like— they use the—

William 0:40:04 Very expressive with their hands.

Jordan 0:40:06 Yeah. But they all do it, and they go—

Speaker E 0:40:08 Hands over mouth.

William 0:40:11 We should just answer that question. I would say if it's going to distract, if you're going, oh, I think I will have the pizza with chorizo, and it's really obvious, just say it in your usual accent. But if it doesn't feel odd, then I would say it. Restaurant, for example.

Jordan 0:40:28 We've got a lot of French words in our language, haven't we?

William 0:40:32 A lot of English is French. And you know why that is? Yeah.

Jordan 0:40:34 Because of 1066. There is the Battle of Hastings.

William 0:40:38 Just coming up to 11 o'clock.

Speaker K 0:40:39 The insurance company.

Jordan 0:40:40 No, not the insurance company. The French beat us in the Battle of Hastings, didn't they? Is that right? Or it's one of them.

William 0:40:45 The Norman Invasion, yeah.

Jordan 0:40:46 Yeah, so then we started using French words like café.

William 0:40:49 They— honestly, in 1067, they couldn't move for cafés.

Jordan 0:40:53 Yeah. And then they started calling our caffrins caf. Not the best example. Honestly. Well, they would've had cafés in 1066. Yeah.

William 0:41:14 Oh, they'd go in for their croissants.

Jordan 0:41:15 They would've gone, hey, you English bastards! We have beat you, and from now on, those places where you drink tea and coffee and have scones and pastries shall be called café.

William 0:41:26 It's like sitting opposite Dan Snow, isn't it?

Speaker E 0:41:29 What were they called before café? Cafés in England.

William 0:41:32 Restaurants. Or alehouses.

Speaker K 0:41:34 Just pure alehouses.

William 0:41:35 Taverns.

Jordan 0:41:36 Yeah.

William 0:41:36 Pubs. I'd say pubs came last. Butty shops.

Jordan 0:41:39 They were known as butty shops in 1066.

Speaker R 0:41:42 Good point.

William 0:41:42 Our final dilemma comes from Ellen. Hi boys, I wear— oh my, you literally can't write this. I wear prescription sunglasses. Or as Jordan calls them, subscription sunglasses.

Jordan 0:41:53 Have you lost them or have you nicked them off someone? Because this would be a very That's a full circle moment.

William 0:41:57 I've always felt like it was impolite to keep them on while talking to someone who isn't wearing sunglasses. My question is, what's the etiquette when you're wearing sunglasses and the other person isn't? Should I switch to my regular glasses and look less cool, or can I keep them on? Thank you for bringing me comfort and laughs whenever I'm having a hard day, and for keeping me company on the good ones. Love you all, Ellen. Oh, you're gonna take this one.

Jordan 0:42:16 I was gonna say what I do.

William 0:42:17 Okay.

Jordan 0:42:18 Is I just either bring them down or take them off for a moment, make eye contact, say, hi, good to see you again. especially if it's sunny like it is at the moment, and pop them back on.

William 0:42:27 I'm very proud of you. That's exactly what I was gonna say.

Jordan 0:42:29 8 years.

William 0:42:31 8 years. You do listen. Thank you. Yeah, you acknowledge it, you take them off. And do you know where that habit goes back to? Little bonus etymology of the day. 1066. So close. One year out.

Jordan 0:42:42 1165.

William 0:42:43 1065. That's not one year— Right. Whole fluffing century.

Jordan 0:42:48 Oh, I've been fucking so stupid and thick this episode, haven't I? Yeah.

William 0:42:53 If it's any consolation, I couldn't notice the difference.

Jordan 0:42:55 All right, so it's 1067.

William 0:42:58 No, it goes back to the suits of armour. And so, when you would raise your visor to acknowledge, and that's the whole taking off sunglasses, it goes back to that. And tipping the hat as well is also the same. Maybe I'll do— I've basically just done it, but I could do that as a bonus etymology.

Jordan 0:43:12 What? That. The visor? Is that why we salute as well?

William 0:43:16 Oh, I don't know, but I can look into saluting.

Jordan 0:43:19 I'm sure it's something to do with saluting. It's to do with the visor.

William 0:43:22 Yes, I think so. You used to tip it up.

Speaker E 0:43:24 Do you think you'd be good in chainmail?

Jordan 0:43:26 Chainmail? What, as a knight? Yeah, like wearing chainmail and that. It's one sport I don't think I'd be into.

William 0:43:32 No, no, it's not a sport. Chainmail is what they would wear under the suits of armour.

Jordan 0:43:37 Yeah.

William 0:43:37 As protection.

Jordan 0:43:38 I've got a heavy bag with me today and I've done naught but whinge, so walking around in that—

William 0:43:43 No.

Jordan 0:43:44 And it's a very rough sport. Jousting. Jousting. And you know I don't like anyone touching my ribs.

William 0:43:51 That's not what I've heard.

Jordan 0:43:52 You know, I had a guy at Intel stop poking me.

Speaker E 0:43:56 That was the problem. Yeah, can you imagine getting poked by a massive wooden joust though?

Jordan 0:44:02 That would be a bit of a— You know, Henry VIII was— got— basically, he's very good looking, very handsome. What?

William 0:44:10 You— because I mean, I know I say come up with the same rubbish, but you—

Jordan 0:44:13 Have I said this before?

William 0:44:15 Yeah.

Jordan 0:44:15 Well, he got hurt in a jousting accident. That's how he got a gammy leg and got fat. But he was very sought after, was Henry, in the old days. Hence the few wives.

William 0:44:25 6. Well, I also think he had issues with the church as well. That was also one of the reasons for lots of the wives.

Jordan 0:44:32 Love is love, and he wanted to marry his love.

William 0:44:35 Okay. Fine. Hot take. Hot take. Well, thank you for all those questions and dilemmas. It's been lovely.

Jordan 0:44:44 Ray Winstone played the best Henry VIII, if you ask me. And there's been a few. We didn't. And your man Jonathan Vernon's—

William 0:44:52 I don't think he's played Henry VIII.

Jordan 0:44:54 Who was he?

William 0:44:55 Oh, I know who you mean. Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Jordan 0:44:58 Yeah, he was good. Thank you for your questions and dilemmas. Remember, you can listen to new episodes every Tuesday and Friday, 24 hours before anywhere else, on Global Player.
