This is bad chat

and other stories...

Guys.

Look.

I started off strong, the wind in my hair…the wind beneath my wings…just so much wind.

I wrote and I wrote and I wrote (I’m not exaggerating, I mean literally that, I wrote 3 Substacks) and then I lost my nerve / groove / that damn wind.

Well guess what? A gale is blowing and like Mary Poppins I have dropped into your life again uninvited and with a really heavy bag (except mine is a tote and it’s given me a crick neck, more on that later, if you behave yourselves).

I know what you’re thinking - “Alice, where have you been? Starting a new podcast or something? You l3gEnD”. Gosh, I wasn’t going to bring it up, but yes, exactly that, now you mention it. It’s a show with my close personal colleague Greg James, off of looking like a Disney prince and making loads of money for charity. It’s called Bad Chat and is a very free-flowing, chatty, silly, hopefully funny, meandering mess. Did Miranda Sawyer in The Guardian say it was ‘spit your coffee out funny’? Gosh II, Return of the Gosh, did she? I don’t read reviews, but that’s sooooo sweet of her. Bless.

Here's all the ways your can listen / chat to us

And here’s a picture of me in a bath with GJ, just a bit of blue for the dads.

The good legs are Greg's even though I keep thinking they're mine

So please do join us. Make it a club, and the show you go to for a guaranteed laugh (shit, is that a legally binding claim?), like Adam and Joe, The Ricky Gervais Show (you know, before) and Elis and John were / are for me.

Speaking of which, I’ve lost my mind for Caleb Heron (in general) and his show So True (specifically). He is UNBELIEVABLY quick, but also thoughtful and generous as a host.

Giving you the youtube but wherever you get your podcasts etc

I basically don’t know any of the US stand ups he has on and yet they are all an amazing listen, this clip really tickled me:

Also also speaking of hilarious podcasts that also INFORM, do you remember that show I do called British Scandal? What do you mean you used to listen on your commute all the time but now your sister-in-law drives you to work and she listens to Capital? THAT’S NOT MY PROBLEM GUYSSSSSSS. Well it sort of is because due to OVERWHELMING public demand, a cool 5 years after the first one, we are doing a live show. It’s about that gold toilet that got stolen. Already lolling. Me and Matt are so excited for it because we loved the first one and with his touring schedule and my commitment to The Pitt, we might never get to do this again. Please come, we’re going to really lose it, I can feel it!

Tix baby

Okay well that’s all for now because I’ve only eaten a Kinder Bueno Happy Hippo and I’m getting quite grouchy.

Tell me things that are going on with you, or that I should listen to or just enjoy how you will never be as late with handing in your homework as I am.

Speak soon

May the wind be in your sails x

PS because you were good - my back! Or shoulder? My wing? Lord above, it’s been soooo painful. I couldn’t actually get out of bed. My friends dad gave me comfrey to rub on it (how? I can’t even look at my feet? Or put my bra on. So French, so chic). Another friend gave me co-codamol. Jesus. Tread carefully. Felt like I had smacked my head on the floor (again - please see one of the aforementioned 3 posts). You know the thing that cured it? It really was a gamechanger. These supplements that I’ve recently invested in I’ll link to them-

JOKING.

Obviously nothing helps and I’ve just done some cries and watched old eps of ER sat up straight because The Pitt has run out.

Hope your body isn’t being old on you x
