Hello and welcome to another episode of Telling Everybody Everything. I am Livit because I recorded a half hour of this podcast this morning when Bobby was out with the kids at rugby and

And I've had to redo it all because for some reason the sound was lagging. I'll leave a little clip in it so you can enjoy it actually. My voice is so low and I just don't know how to fix that. And I was going to go with it. I was going to say, well, see if anybody notices. Bobby's here with me now. I think it is distracting. Yeah, it sounds like hefty.

I am hefty. It looks like you, or sounds like, sorry, that you have like maybe 80 more pounds on your body than you barely do. Yeah, it's just like a hefty episode. Yeah, anyway. And theirs was an absolutely toxic and iconic pairing.

And that ended. And then he was with Jesse Nelson. That was my voice. Now back to this episode. I would like to start the episode by thanking my husband, Bobby, for sharing a link to my Palladium shows. Usually I talk about the tour at the end during the roundup. I'm like, oh, by the way, I'm on tour for the rest of my life. I've been on tour since September. We've done 76 shows around Europe and the UK, and there are only 30 remaining, but only three in London.

And that is May 1st, May 2nd, May 3rd. When I looked at the sales report last week, those were selling badly, badly. Right, Bobby? Yeah, I saw. And, you know, I trust Live Nation. I've toured with them for 15 years. They know what they're doing. But it is my neck on the line. If the shows don't sell, we sold out March. We sold out April. And then Live Nation said on April 2nd,

Let's put some May dates on sale. They only went on sale April 2nd and UK payday is not even till the end of the month. It's patio season was my argument. I, if you are someone who regularly attends standup events,

Comedy spectacles. You will know that we try when we're touring to avoid the summer because the weather in the UK is really bad, lots of the year, and that's when people want to be inside theaters. But when it gets to be beer garden season, you're competing with that. We also don't compete with the World Cup. When's the World Cup? A year and a half from now. All right. Well, I won't be touring. Or like, you know, there are some sports things that we just avoid.

So May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The tickets have started to move now. But any time comedians are having low sales, they'll usually do a shout-out and be like, last few tickets remaining. And that's always a lie. If anyone says, last few tickets, then there are many tickets. And that's the case with me still. Many tickets for this Thursday, May 1st. Many tickets for the 2nd. Many tickets for the 3rd. It's getting...

To be actually true, though, there's not that many tickets left. Well, that's good. I mean, I've been hustling. I've been putting the clips up all day. So, like, they are going fast. Like, low availability. Okay. Bobby and I had a date night. And that's why we think you should have a date night. Get a hotel away from the kids or at least go out to dinner in Soho. Have a little West End evening and come see my best show ever. We were invited to the opening of Mr. Porter's Steakhouse in Park Lane. Bobby's best friend was there.

Which one? Princess Beatrice. Well, we're kind of on the outs now, if you didn't know. She didn't tell him she was going, and we didn't see her there. It was a surprise, so I was disappointed. But she's Bobby's number one friend. Aisling B was there, my favorite person worldwide, who I talk about all the time. Chidera Egaru, the slumflower, was there. That made my night. But when we first arrived, we had a few things wrong. I did not like my outfit, and we were sat at a table of Gen Z's.

And the organizer was like, you are sat with some very talented actors. And I thought, yeah, okay, but Gen Z, it turned out we loved them, didn't we? Yes, 100%. They were so nice, but there was a moment of shame when two of them were like, oh, and they are, they're very talented musicians and presenters and actors and influencers, like 5 million followers on the socials.

A couple of them turned to me and said, oh, I've seen you. I recognize you. I was like, oh, yeah. I thought maybe like their dad put on an old episode of Who Do You Think You Are? They go, yeah, I've seen you on your daughter Violet's TikToks. And then you remember when he said you should consider getting a TikTok? Yeah, you should. I was like, I have 10 times the amount of followers of my daughter on TikTok. No, but what he was saying is actually true, which was it's nice to see you in a different light on your daughter's TikTok versus your own content. It's like a different, you know.

Scope for a lot of the fans. Yeah, that's a peek behind the curtains. It is. I'm being directed by a 15 year old. You're being an actual mom instead of like a dad. I'm always being a mom. Always. Especially at this dinner. I felt very maternal towards the kids. And we can highly recommend Mr. Porter Steakhouse. It was delicious. And the kids were so young that I kept having to ask the waiter for more bread for them. They were like, we just want to eat bread. It was like being at dinner with Fred. Yeah. Yeah.

They were asking for mac and cheese. Bocaccia. But they were passing up steak. I mean, all of them were veggie or pescatarian. A whole roasted leek did come out. That was good. It was all good. Oh, it was delicious. That had a bunch of really high-end olive oil or salt on it. Did you have the leek? I had it all. God, it was good. What was your favorite part of the dinner? You didn't have any lobster, did you? I did, yeah. You did? I don't mind lobster. Like, you know...

If done right, I like it. What was your favorite? I mean the steak. Yeah. Because I got to eat it all by myself. Yeah, the kids were not having steak. No, I wouldn't have steak. It was like too red for them. They were like scared. Anyways, more for me, but I did contain myself quite well, I thought. I could have had a lot more. You should have. I know I should have, but I like, come on. There was like three tomahawks for like...

Me to eat by myself? I couldn't do it. I know, but I think we were insulting the chef because all these kids were just eating bread and cocktails. Lovely cocktails. Yeah, nice ones. Spicy margaritas. What was the margarita that I had? A grapefruit margarita or something? It was like called something Riviera Collection. Oh, a margarita Riviera. Yeah. We saw some espresso martinis going around, some really fine sparkling wines. This is not an ad, but we just had a great time. And then...

We stayed in a hotel. Not just any hotel. Claridge's. My very best hotel ever. Bobby, how did you feel when you found out that I was booking such a luxurious spot for our date? I don't have the same, like...

that you have for such venues. I bet you do now, you know. I don't. Yeah, because once you've been there, there's no going back to the premier inn. It's nice. The service is nice. That's the thing. But as soon as you get into the room, I don't know. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Tell them about the shower. The shower was actually the real number one selling feature because the morning after, I was a bit tired and the shower was...

like a waterfall from the gods. Gallons and gallons. Like just an absolute waste of energy and water and warmth pouring all over your body. It was so nice. At the most appropriate time, I thought. Yeah. I did consider, Bobby, because of your frugality, to book just a run-of-the-mill Park Lane hotel. I did think about that. But then I remembered on my 40th birthday, which is nearly two years ago...

We made a pact and we said we were going to spend a night away from the kids kind of every four months. And I thought, if that's what we're doing, we can afford it. We need to stay in my favorite hotel. And the reason I was there was for a good night's sleep. I sleep a little bit better than Bobby these days because Fred is up more than Fena. And he is Bobby's point person.

But also not to be woken up at 6 a.m. to go downstairs and watch Moana and play, but to have a lie-in and enjoy breakfast in bed. And I was just thinking, I cannot have this beautiful breakfast in bed anywhere else but Claridge's. And when I got there, like straight out of the car, they were like, hi, Miss Ryan. I get in the hotel, right in the lobby, the lady's like, hello, Miss Ryan.

Then at the front desk, they're like, Ms. Ryan, we've upgraded you. I was like, yes. And then the manager came out to see me. The head of events came out to see me. And I watched a documentary about Claridge's. It was like a docu-series, I think maybe on Channel 4, though I'm not sure. You've got to watch it, Bobby.

And it showed when they start a shift. And this is what I love about the hospitality industry. Having worked in food and beverage service, I think there are certain people in luxury hospitality who really care and it makes all the difference in the world. And they put all the little touches to enhance your experience. And they would do this pre-meeting before every day and go, okay, we've got this family coming this week. We've got our regular family.

Like these people, those people. Oh, Mrs. McIntosh likes her bed made differently to Mr. McIntosh. They would go out of their way to do incredible things for their guests. And that's what they did with us. I think they sort of installed that shower because they knew you would love it. No. Well, maybe. But I was also woken up because you decided to have room service at, what, 6 a.m.?

No, the breakfast came at 8 a.m. Yeah, I could have gone for another like half hour. You still could have because guess what? They upgraded us to the Terrace Premium Suite. And so there was no one in your bedroom. There was, you were. Yeah, I did bring my cappuccino inside. But it was such a beautiful breakfast, wasn't it? Fresh squeezed orange juice. They had all these gluten-free pastries. And put it this way, if sales remained low at the Palladium this week, May 1st, May 2nd, May 3rd,

That would have personally cost me two months stay at Claridge's. Personally. Because touring is a whole economy. I have to pay the venue. I have to pay people's salaries. I have to pay whether people show up or not. And there was a point when we considered pulling the gigs and that would cost me two months living at Claridge's. Holy shit. So I'm glad people are buying tickets now. Okay. Bobby, the reason that I've asked you to come on the podcast today is...

And aside from the elongated stay due to my deep voice in the first recording attempt, is because there is, correct me if I'm wrong about him, he is a former American footballer turned podcaster, sports presenter. Yeah, he's like a sports, like he's in the Hall of Fame in the National Football League, first of all. He's very kind of iconic, but not like, I wouldn't say iconic, but like...

Well, if he's in the Hall of Fame. He's in the Hall of Fame. Well, he's iconic now. So his resume, athletically, is the tippity-top. And then he had a great run running on this one show, and then he got kind of fired. He's very...

Kind of fired. Why? I'm not really sure. Because when you have two, not to say alphas, but two strong-minded men, after eight years, they just decide to have a break. But then once they had the break, he started to thrive and climb on views on his podcast. He had Cat Williams...

When Cat Williams went off. Okay, we've said too much. We're talking about Shannon Sharp is his name. Shannon, a man. Sharp. He's a black man. He's an old man. He's 56, and he has had some iconic podcast interviews. Aforementioned the Cat Williams interview with Bobby. Monique. Monique. Who else has he had on there? Great question. Well, some people. But he asks, they're like long form. Would it be fair to say he's like a black Joe Rogan?

He's got Hennessy on the table during the interview. Yeah, Hennessy is there. People do open up to him. What's his net worth? Lots. I mean, he only made like $20 million playing. Not only. But he made the only $20 million playing. And he's now been offered a $100 million podcast deal. Until now, this new... Okay, so what's the latest controversy? He's getting sued for $50 million for abusing...

A young lady. Well, allegedly. Let me see what the exact accusation is. It's that. Has he been charged? I'm not sure. Well, because you're not allowed to talk that much. Yeah, there is a lawsuit. But I mean, maybe in America you are. America's weird. They have different laws. But I definitely know that here, once charges have been laid, you can't talk about someone in a way that disparages their, you know...

or talks about past allegations. Anyway, so he's taking a break from ESPN because there are sexual assault allegations and ongoing lawsuits. So right now, there is a $50 million, well, it's called an explosive rape fiasco. Wow. I mean, the language that they use in America. Yeah, she is filing the lawsuit. I don't know if it's been filed yet.

But her name is Gabriella. I think she has a different name on OnlyFans. She is a model who was 19 or 20 at the time when Shannon Sharp, 56, started a sexual relationship with her. Apparently, this is what he does. Does he have a wife, Bobby? Has he ever had a wife? He's never had a wife, I don't think. Okay. But he does have a 32-year-old daughter. Right. So he's like a confirmed bachelor who just philanders, like dates these young women. And in her interview...

And Monique told him on his podcast that that was a dangerous way to live your life. And she's like, you can't be doing it, Shannon. And he was like, I can't stop. I love the young ladies. And she warned him. And that clip has come to bite him in the ass. And it's gone really viral where she's like, get a woman who's with you for the right reasons. But the trouble is he can't be with a woman for the right reasons because he's interested in all the wrong reasons. Personal life. He has three children who are the mothers of his children.

Okay, here's exactly what's happening. April 21st, last week, Sharp was named as a defendant in a civil lawsuit filed by OnlyFans model Gabriela Zuniga, who initially used a pseudonym Jane Doe. She was represented by Tony Busby. Now, Tony Busby is an American lawyer who also ran in 2019 for the mayor of Texas, and he lost. He also ran for Houston City Council. He's also 56, and he does have...

reputation for going after high-profile people so he did represent 21 clients alleging sexual misconduct against NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2021 he filed a 750 million dollar lawsuit against rapper Travis Scott on behalf of the 120 victims who died or were injured during the Astroworld festival crowd crush he's also a property developer

And he was the lead attorney for Rebecca Grossman, who was convicted for second-degree murder. And now he also has gone after Sean Carter, Jay-Z, for those sexual misconduct allegations. So Shannon Sharp is now trying to say, he's made a video in response to these lawsuits, and he's been like, Tony Busby, it's a shakedown. He's just trying to get me. This guy goes after black men, and now he's going after me. But it seems like

I don't know. I don't think he goes after these guys without reason. Well, he goes after her like high profile. Yeah. That's what he does. But Shannon Sharp is guilty of being at worst or at best a creep. Yeah. Like targeting young girls on OnlyFans. So I think he got like hustled, but he's also guilty. If you know what I mean.

That's what I thought was funny about him coming out and saying, oh, it's a sting. It's a shakedown. They're just trying to take me down. That to me suggests that everyone you know has sex with 19-year-old oldie fan models and you're the one getting pursued.

Could you imagine having, well you couldn't, but like he's got a 32 year old daughter. Yeah. And he's going after someone that's 19 years old. Sick. And like saying disgusting things like choke, choke, choke. Oh yeah. So what was, what are these texts? He's like saying like, oh, I'm gonna choke you. And they kind of like played this up. Like it was normal, but then like she recorded it and then it's like just bad. It's just a bad look. Like you do not need to be doing this. And like, why are you? Because you've got like some problem. Um,

And it seems like he's probably been doing it a long time if Monique's telling him to stop and he's got away with it for a long time. And he's normalized it. So, of course, this time it seems like a shakedown. It's like, what do you mean a shakedown? Like, Tony Busby, Bobby, is not knocking on our door being like, there are sexual misconduct allegations. Like, nobody can shake you down if you're not a powerful 56-year-old man having habitual sex with teenage girls. Like, nobody's shaking down an innocent man for that. No.

Yeah, I think he deserves what's coming. Could you imagine being like... It doesn't make him a rapist, though. No, but... We'll have to see. It doesn't matter if he's a rapist or not a rapist. He's doing something that is very creepy. Predatory. Predatory. And then to slip up to an OnlyFans model. It's like, what did you expect was going to happen? I love it. These young girls are getting smarter all the time. Yeah, and he's an idiot. Yeah.

My resources have been exploited by older men, losers, poor men. Why wasn't I smart enough at 19 to allow myself to be exploited by a 56-year-old multimillionaire? You were. They just weren't millionaires. Oh, yeah. And shake them down. They're just regular guys. $50 million. Listen, his podcast, it's kind of sad because he did kind of have a nice...

in the market for the podcast he was running. He had like... I liked his podcast. Some good people. Oh, Amanda Seals. Amanda Seals. He was doing some good things in that community, the grander community. And now he has fucked it. He was offered $100 million. And like I said, he played for 15 years in the NFL and made $20 million. Well, he denies all accusations and he maintains his innocence. And I love... Yeah, but there's tapes. There's tapes.

Yeah, but you know what he said about the tapes? He said, Tony Busby is going to release a 30 second clip of my sex tape. And his flex was, release the entire sex tape, Tony. The sex tape is 10 minutes long. Well, there was an Instagram live. So apparently, why this girl like turned on him was there was an Instagram live where he was like caught fucking someone else on his Instagram live. And that's when she turned on him for like cheating. Boomers.

Imagine being such a boomer that you accidentally stream yourself having sex on Instagram Live. He was like saying stuff. I don't even want to repeat it, but it was just weird. Tell me like the gist. So his kink is what? BDSM? I don't even think so. I think he just likes... Well, he's saying he wants to choke a child. A legal adult, sorry. Like a recent voter. A newly... A newly legal voter. I don't know. He's just got...

And the Monique interview, like he's just got this thing for like younger girls, which like is kind of predatory. Do you know what interview would be good to listen to now? I'm surprised Amanda Seals hasn't said anything on her socials. His interview with her, she is such an advocate and a feminist and a philanthropist. And he was quite rude to her. She talks about her autism diagnosis. And he was very rude to the point, but she calls people on it, obviously because she's autistic. Yeah.

She's not afraid to say how she feels. And it very much seemed in that interview, like he had no idea what to do with Amanda Seales, a 40-year-old educated woman. He didn't know how to respect her in that interview. It was a very hostile interview on both sides. Yeah, she's kind of a wild card in a good way, I think. I love her. But I like Shannon Sharp too. I mean, when will these men learn? I like...

That they could lose everything just for some pussy. I don't know if they will. When will they learn that they need to listen to Monique? I don't know what this guy was thinking. He thinks it's okay. He thinks it's normal. He does it all the time. And that's why he believes that any pushback is a shakedown. I think at like 40, you're kind of aware of the potential blowback of getting into a situation with an OnlyFans model where maybe he's such a boomer that he just...

Couldn't, like, handle, like... Why did you think she was with you? Why would a 19-year-old be with a 56-year-old man? Well, he's clearly, like, some form of idiot. Yeah. To, like, allow this to happen. Like, he's, like, busted on, like... She's, like, recording him. Yeah. I mean, like, he is...

A boomer. I would love that to be the judge's ruling. If, best case scenario, Shannon Sharp is not guilty. He is a boomer. I'll give you $10 million. Yeah. Like, look, you are, I proclaim you to be an official idiot and no more having sex with anyone. That should be the punishment. Shannon Sharp, I sentence you to 10 years of sex with women your own age. Yeah, but this girl should be paid for her hard work.

She is. Paid on OnlyFans. I know, but additionally. Because this is some type of sting she pulled off. She is a genius. Yeah. So she needs to be rewarded. Yeah. And then he pays his fines and gets back... I don't know. These hoes are getting so smart. And I like it. I think that men should be afraid. And she will get notoriety out of this. Just like Tiger Woods' mistress. Of course. Well, they didn't really...

They did. They got notoriety. They got interviews. I'm sure they got paid for those interviews. What's that one doing now? The porn star? Was her name Rebecca? I think she's retired. No, I'm sure. Maybe Rebecca. What was her name? Or was that David Beckham's alleged mistress? Yeah, I wouldn't bring that up. That's Rebecca Vose. Rachel Vose. No, no, no. Tiger Woods' mistress is called Rachel. Rachel.

Which one? He had like 15. The most famous one. Rachel Uchitel. Rachel is currently living in Palm Beach, Florida. She moved there from New York in 2022 and moved into her new home in the summer of 2023. She's engaged to Dan Donovan. Do you know who that is? He sounds like a sports person. Nope. Hmm. And she got $10 million from Tiger Woods because she was represented by Gloria Allred, the original Tony Busby.

was on Celebrity Big Brother and it's a big news story in the UK even though you and I have obviously not been watching Celebrity Big Brother, no disrespect to the format. - I don't even know who that is. - You do know, Jordan. - I don't. - Yeah, 'cause you never had a young daughter at the time. Okay, so I'll give you a brief rundown.

There was a reality show called Dance Moms, and it was about hyped-up mothers of very talented child dancers during the whole toddlers and tiara phase. And what do you mean by very talented? Really. Like forced into entertainment? No, they mostly, you'd have to love it to be as good as they were. They were really good. I feel like Dance Moms would be like, oh, they're super talented. No, the mom's a psycho. Well, both of these things can be true. Fine.

And some moms were more psycho than others. And the owner of the dance academy was the most psycho. She was called Abby Lee Miller. So now there's the girl on Big Brother that's got some type of sexuality crisis? No. No.

Well, sort of. Yeah, actually, you're not wrong. Makes sense. Jojo Siwa was on Dance Moms at a time when Violet and I would watch Dance Moms. Then Jojo Siwa branched out on her own and became this huge, like, I don't know if it was Nickelodeon. She just became a pop star and a very Olsen twin level of...

like merchandise machine. Maybe like a C minus? No. Like that level of money. That level of Olsen twins. Yes. No way. Yes, merchandise. JoJo, everything. JoJo's huge. She was at Northwest's birthday party. So then why is she on Big Brother? Well, she's, when you're a child star, you need to. I don't think the Olsens

Well, she doesn't have sort of the fashion line that they've got now. And the Olsens receded into like dating French billionaires. So my point is, I think that you have to put her below the Olsen twins. I'm saying at the time, in terms of a child merchandise machine, JoJo was it. All right. JoJo was it.

JoJo with the bobo. And she always wore her hair in a high ponytail with bows and every single thing at Target and Walmart was JoJo themed. And JoJo was absolutely huge as a child star. I went into some breakfast show in America to promote my first Netflix special. So I suppose that would have been like 2015. In Trouble. Still available on Netflix. Yes. And JoJo was there with her mother. And I remember at the time she was such a confident kid and

And she hadn't completely blown up how she would a few years after that. She was super famous and she was filming a lot of talking on her phone. She was like an early influencer when I was looking at her not really knowing what was going on. It's like this child keeps talking to her phone like, hey guys, I'm at the breakfast show.

Super confident, kind of like deep, raspy voice. Singer, dancer, entertainer, fine. So then we didn't hear from JoJo for a few years. She's come back now with kind of rage bait songs. She's come out. What do you mean come out? She's a lesbian. She talks about drinking. And, you know, she had kind of an explosive relaunch. She's like Kesha?

She went a little Kesha and the fans didn't like it, but it served her well on TikTok because she would do these really horrendous like dances and stunts and people were like, what is going on with JoJo? So I think this is the reason for Celebrity Big Brother, which brings me to, all right, let me go on a British well-paid reality series. She reportedly got half a million pounds to go on it. And she said, I'll just be myself. And 21 year old JoJo Siwa on Celebrity Big Brother from the clips that I have seen has been really calm, really chill, really nice.

She was on with Mickey Rourke. I do know him, yeah. Yeah, and of course he's an old man and he said things to her like, "Oh, you're a lesbian. Well, three weeks in the house with me you won't be." Which is homophobic and... Is that homophobic? It is. Like it is the classic trope of men going, "You're not a lesbian, you just haven't sucked the right dick." Like this is what... Yeah, I get it being like obviously something but like is that homophobic?

It is. And it borderlines on violent, I think. Well, it's definitely like something. It feels a bit like a sexual threat. I wouldn't want to hear that from the owner of a penis. To be like, three weeks with me and I'll turn you straight is basically what he was saying. But it turns out... I'm not sure Ricky owns one, but anyways. Yeah. It's been grafted onto his face. But... Yeah. But... So he was disciplined by Big Brother for saying that. They said that those are homophobic statements. You can't say that. And then he said a few other gay things. Yeah.

And then Chris Hughes, who's also in the house, who is like a professional stunt queen. He was on the series of Love Island that we watched a lot with Olivia Atwood. Do you remember Chris and Kem? Yeah, yeah. Like this clean-cut British guy. And I think the danger of going on a show like Love Island, especially that season of Love Island that was huge, is you get a taste for fame and it starts to go away and you probably panic. You're like, I'll do anything to get that high again.

And Chris Hughes, I think still presents or does something. I'm not really sure, but he had an opportunity to go on Big Brother. He defended JoJo Siwa, like in a flaccid way. He was just like, Mickey, we don't say that. And even though I've not been watching the show, I've seen clips where JoJo and Chris have gotten closer and closer and closer. And they've been besties and they've been in bed together, just platonically cuddling, holding hands, dancing together. From the clips, it very much looks like they're in love.

And now Big Brother has finished, JoJo came third, and right before the after party, her partner Kath flew over from America to be with her. These two are engaged. Yes. JoJo dumped her. Them. So Mickey was right. So Mickey, yes. Well, first of all, credit, okay, credit to the, whatever, producers, whoever made the show to get Mickey Rourke. Yeah. I mean, he used to be like, I think an A-lister? Yeah.

Maybe a B-lister. Not for a while, but this is what I'm saying about JoJo. To pull this show together, it seems like it's doing really well. So now JoJo's dumped... Kath. Kath, the female. I think they're non-binary. So they dumped they, and so now they is dating... She's dumped they. So she's dumped they, and now them is dating a he. Listen, we don't know. Bobby. I mean... Bobby Rourke.

Listen, it looks very much like there's a budding romance between Chris Hughes and JoJo. But Mickey called it. Exactly, but I don't think he knew what he was saying. He's like a prophet. Well, he's many things. My trepidation with this, and listen, maybe they're just going to stay friends. Maybe not. They who? Chris and JoJo. Fine. Or maybe there is romance there. But it could be totally genuine that...

But I think it's a little bit too convenient for Chris Hughes, who's 32, to get with world-famous 21-year-old Jojo Siwa. He went from, he dated Olivia Atwood, who's now very, very successful. Then he dated Jesse Nelson from Little Mix. He was back on the red carpets, got a little taste of it again. And now Jojo Siwa would be a little too convenient and a little Shannon Sharp Young, if you ask me.

It's close. Yeah. I mean, it's not... It's not. I mean, it's still 30 years difference, but... Well, and I think Chris Hughes is probably mentally 21. I see. Well, well, well. Mickey Rourke. I love that you're stuck on Mickey Rourke. Well, he is an interesting case. Do you think he's had a lot of plastic surgery or just... I don't know what's happened. I think he's either been punched in the face a lot, like he's been through a lot. Yeah. He...

In the 80s was kind of like a Rob Lowe type of guy. Oh, yeah. I've seen old pics. And then I don't know what happened to his face. Anyways. He became a professional boxer. Yeah, so he got punched. That's what I thought. But then for him to be... Like, how they got Jojo Siwa and Mickey Rourke onto this program, like I said, is a credit to whatever team put this show together. Oh, yeah. Well, I'll let them know that you send your regards. Please do. Maybe you and I could go on one day. I would fucking love to see you in Celebrity Big Brother. Okay.

I don't know what I would do. You'd be great. Like if they're putting some of the people on it that they are, you're not not famous enough to be on it. Let's put it that way. No shade. I mean, that was direct shade, but like. It seemed like it. But you would have to Chris Hughes it a bit. You would have to give people a taste at least of you flirting with danger. Maybe almost cheating on me. Although I'm not sure if the public would turn against you for that. They would. I hope they would.

You'd have a good chance of winning, actually. And hopefully not walk right out and make out with Maura Higgins. Because you would be very effective in the house. This is what gets people popular in the house. They tidy up their mess. I do that. They're collaborative. I would do that, yeah. They speak their mind, but they don't get into huge explosive fights. But you need to pull people in the corners and have these chats. And I think...

Maybe I could do it, but I don't know. You really need to be some type of weasel to go far, I think. I think you need to be a weasel to get fourth. But I don't think the winners are historically weasels. Jack T has won it. Gary Busey has won it. Gary Busey. Bez. Mark Owen. I think you could be a Celebrity Big Brother winner, especially if you keep sweet-talking the casting team the way you are. Nah. I'm not going to top Gary Busey. Who would you want to be in the house with? Um...

You? No, no, no. We'd be like Spidey. Spidey went in together. We could do that. I don't know. I don't know if I'm like really cut out for it.

I think that you are very Joel Domet in that he went on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. What I mean is he couldn't be edited badly. Fine. Like you can't trap Joel Domet because Joel Domet is always Joel Domet. Is there like athletic feats that like allow you to stay in the house? Oh, no. So you'd be better on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Yeah, I need to like have some kind of like feats of strength to like stay alive. I don't think. To like prove my worth. Yeah, I don't think most people on Celebrity Get Me Out of Here would rather are athletes. Mickey Rourke?

Yeah, boxing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get my head punched in to stay in. I would do that. I don't know. Joe Josua and Chris Hughes, go in the distance or showmance? I think go the distance. Great. In better Ryan Kutster household news, Meg Ryan, touch wood, seems to be all better. Yeah. She has been sick with pulmonary hypertension for 18 months.

The first incident, we like blue lighted her to the vet. I came home from a corporate at midnight and I saw that she was breathing really shallow, really rapidly. Her gums were blue and I know vital signs. So I took her to the vet. They basically told me she might not live through the night, which was shocking to me. Her lungs had fibrosis. They were full of fluid. Part of her heart was enlarged because of the pressure from her lungs. And then they did a bunch of stuff and she just got better. And then she took...

Two doses of Viagra every day. She had another episode. It was up to three doses. She had more episodes. She has an episode kind of every four months. And now she's on five doses of Viagra. And I'll tell you for why is a lot of medication has off-label use. People get mad about Ozempic. Oh, my God. Save it for the diabetics. But if you have Botox for wrinkles, that is an off-label use. It was originally designed for some eye condition. Aspirin has off-label use.

So many medications are accidental. I take anti-malarial medication. I do not have malaria. I have lupus. You take horse dewormer, don't you? I take ivermectin. Well, I put ivermectin on my nose when I get a little red nose. So you take horse dewormer. Yeah. And you'll ask a lupus doctor, hey, why do I take anti-malarials? And they go, I don't know. It works. And so Megan takes Viagra because it helps her blood.

and her blood flow or whatever. But the last time she had an episode, which was only two weeks ago, I said to them, by the way, I think I've mentioned this before. She has not been treated for lungworm. And I noticed on Google, well, you know, how you like searching your own symptoms. I do this with the dogs is that you can't always see lungworm on a scan. It shows up looking very much like pulmonary hypertension and you can't always see it in their

and you just can't always catch it. And I was like, will you treat her for lungworm? And I was sure they had done that on one of the other visits, but maybe not because they treated her for lungworm and now she's like 100% better. Do you think she's better? She's a lot better, yeah. And lungworm can cause permanent damage. So we'll never know if that's what it was. They must have done bloods. Like you can diagnose lungworm from bloods. They did 1,000 bloods. We have spent like a month of clarages. I'm sorry.

I don't want to get into it. But Megan is thriving. She is an idiot. I wouldn't call her thriving. She's very Mickey Rourke of this house. No, she's less intelligent than Mickey Rourke, which is shocking. Yeah. But it's true. Yeah. But she's happy. Yeah. She's eating. I don't know. She's a marvel. And I'm ashamed to say that, you know, I did not...

Treat her for a long worm. You're supposed to treat your dogs For fleas and worms all the time, but because Megan's so little and she's not a normal dog I just didn't think it was relevant even though I have to admit I have seen her eating slugs and spitting them up. Hmm Not lately, but I've seen that in my life. Have you no I think I've seen that I have a feeling and I'm an idiot So like it's these are very preventable diseases. Maybe it's not long worm or

And I am very grateful to the vets who always look after her. But I mean, I kind of think it was lungworm. So I'm going to wait one more week to make sure she's super stable. And then I'm going to take her in and get her treated for lungworm a second time. Treating for lungworm is cheap. It's like 20 quid. Fine. All the other stuff. Go ahead. Go ahead. It's just like, you won't stop. Well, obviously I didn't start. I didn't treat her for lungworm in the first instance. I should have. I think she was. I think she's just like, I don't know. She's not going to...

What? She's not really cut out for this world anymore. She never was, but she's only like 10. I know. I love her, but like she's barely hanging on. Did you receive the financial stock document that I sent you? Yes. Do you understand it? Yes. Okay. We have made the move. We're old now. We're over 40. We have a lot of dependents. I can't get life insurance. I don't think they've come back with a lot of followup questions. This is what the guy said to me. I think what he wants to do. I don't really understand what this means.

We have pensions now as well. And we have invested in the stock market and in gold. And let me tell you, thanks to your little friend and all his little friends, the stock market is a very volatile place at the minute. Yeah. And there are people who think that Donald Trump is purposely tanking it for his corporate buddies. But then there are also a lot of people who think he's really smart and he wouldn't do that.

And the reason we invested is because my advisor said long term, even if it's volatile, it's a better investment than keeping your money in a savings account. But you have to be prepared to leave it for like five to 10 years at least. And they don't think he could say anything worse. Like they think, you know, it's dropped so much in the last 90 days that this is a good time to invest. What did you think from the document that I saw that I showed you?

I think that's probably the right take. It's like, it will never get completely out of hand and it is a good time to invest. Does it make you nervous? Yeah, everything makes me nervous, but like not that nervous. I think there's always bubbles and times to do things, but ultimately it always eventually gives you money back. I mean, I hope so. If you're like diversifying, do you know what I mean? Did we diversify? Yes. Here's what the life insurance guy said.

We're currently in the process of finalizing pricing for accidental death cover, as previously discussed. Because I think at this point, with the new melanoma diagnosis and everything, they don't want to insure me. What about the helicopter I got you? Yeah. They said...

In parallel, we can also explore the option of joint life cover. The recommended approach would be to remove you from the underwriting process and proceed with pricing based solely on Bobby. Under this structure, both of you would still be named on the policy. The plan would remain payable on second death.

aligning with the objective of addressing the potential inheritance tax exposure. The only distinction would be that the premium would be calculated based on Robert alone, for whom we have secured standard medical terms. It is bullshit that you and your sports...

and your smoking and the party lifestyle that you led, you-- - I think we downplayed the smoking on the report. - No, we did not. - No, all right. - 'Cause that would render it invalid. We told the truth on the report and I told the truth so much that they looked at me and went, "Nah." I don't even understand what that means. Does that mean-- - It means like they feel comfortable dealing with me but maybe not so much you. - This is fucking crazy.

So... Like they've seen me before. They don't know you. What do you mean they've seen you before? Like this type of person. Oh. You are kind of unique. Thank you. So it's a compliment email. Yeah. Insurance companies... They can't insure you, but they can insure me.

It is such bullshit because the only other person I know who's uninsurable is Katie Price. She came out on her podcast or somewhere. I saw a clip of her saying she can't get insured. You guys should do some type of travel show. We should stop dating the men who stress us out. Travel show with Katie Price would be awesome. Uninsurable. First stop, Istanbul. The title's like, No Insurance. That's the title? Yeah. No Insurance. No Insurance.

Starring Katharine and Katie Price. Yeah, I like it. Uninsured. How about that? Yeah. You prefer no insurance. Insurance is better, you have to admit. Yeah. All right, we're pitching it. Pitching it. Another thing I want to pitch, Bobby, and I have done it. I think you need your own podcast. Okay. So I'd like to see that from you. Well, let me contact Shannon Sharp. Yeah, there's an opening. Because he's, you know, he's going through it.

Sure. I'm in my early 30s, and I feel like my recent life change may have put my chance of becoming a mother at risk. Around two years ago, I ended a long-term relationship that lasted nearly a decade. While there were many good moments, there were also repeated red flags, nights out ending in fights, emotional distance, and a general lack of drive for a future together. I eventually developed feelings for someone at work, also in a relationship at that time.

Though it wasn't physical, it was emotionally complicated. I came clean to my partner and I tried to repair things, but nothing changed and I ended it. The colleague also left his partner and we've been seeing each other ever since. He's patient and kind, but I still feel anxious and uncertain. Meanwhile, my ex has reached out several times saying he wants another chance. Ha ha. Good. That wasn't the letter. That was me inserting it. Ha ha. Good. Because I think women...

Always think like oh, there's no better than him like better the devil You know you stay in a bad relationship because you're like oh well if I leave him even though he has bad behavior He'll just be perfect for someone else, but that never happens. They always want you back. I'm torn Do I fully commit to this new relationship despite my doubts or go back to my ex and risk repeating old patterns? Oh, I'm glad there was a third or or step back from both and focus on myself. I

I feel lonely and overwhelmed, especially watching people around me settle down and start families. I think, yeah, the third or is the way to go. Thank God for the third or. Because the second or, like, kind of lifted you away from the first or. Yeah. Now, I think that's the way to go. So, like... So, you think the colleague was a catalyst to end what was a bad relationship anyway. Yep. Yep. And then that she needs to be alone for a bit. Yeah. Yeah.

But she's worried because she's in her 30s and this is the difference between men and women. Again, biologically. You get me. You really do. Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking. Use whatever you need to use to like have a little time of peace if you can. Yeah. And like better yourself. But like the work rebound is not going to be the one.

And if it is the one, because it might be. It might be. They'll stick around and wait for you to have like eight months on your own. We're not saying like wait till you're Shannon Sharpe's age. We're saying like eight months. Just like go out, have some fun, like take care of yourself. Like, I don't know. Or don't even have fun. Like I was only single. Well, like have fun. No, but not that kind of fun. No, I meant fun like watch a couple like...

Academy Award winning movies. Joe Lycett's new series is on Sky and now it came out April 22nd. That's what I want to watch. I meant to tell you. And it's where he visits all the Birmingham's in the US and gets them to sign a treaty of friendship with Birmingham in the UK. And he teaches them all about like Alison Hammond. And he's just so funny. And that's what we're going to watch tonight.

But, okay, so you and I reconnected at 35. People know that. Yeah. And we were both single. Yeah. Though I have my suspicions about you. I have mine about you. What are they? Do you want me to go into it right now? Yeah. No. Without naming names. What do you think I was doing? Well, I have to name names. Well, you can't name names. Well, then I won't go into it. What's the point? Just say it. Like, my entire career, I tell everybody everything without naming names. Yeah.

I didn't find out until afterwards. I was not doing anything for several months. Several months. Several, fine. Several. And I could go back in my WhatsApp. Well, mine was more than several. I don't think so. Yeah. I think you were still on the dating apps. I was, yeah. I was on the dating apps. I don't see you being ignored on the dating apps. I think you had probably some casual babes on the go. I had one little fling on the go, the MILF.

No, a different one, I think. No, there's no different one. I think you had a few girls around. No, no, it's just the one. But nothing serious? No, certainly not. So you had the MILF until when, when I came on the scene? Like...

weeks before days days no not days it would have been like months before honestly because it was christmas time before and so like christmas time before we got together january 8th yes so i'm saying there's christmas and then like family stuff there's months so you hadn't fucked anyone since christmas before christmas how long before christmas i don't know the date december what december 23rd

So I was actually single. No, I actually was you weren't I'm saying I went home for Christmas. So like anyways Okay, so Bobby took like the standard bank holidays off. Correct. I was good for like eight months I was eight months. That's not true. It is You told me before it was not that you answer the rest of Halloween and

Halloween? You're dressed as like something you said before. Like some type of like stewardess or something. I'm going back in the calendar now and I think... What calendar are you looking at? Your fuck diary? Period tracker. Oh, period tracker. Oh, wow then. No, I'm not. I'm going to see what's going on. So when did you and I reconnect? I was filming. What was I filming? I was filming the... When did we get together? Oh, January 2009. Jesus, you don't even know. This is... I will find out. This is...

Just answer and I will... Answer what? Answer the listener email and I'm going to find out. I already have. What's your answer? Sum it up. Go for the option number three. Take a break and then maybe the ex, maybe the work guy, don't know.

Oh my God. Oh my God. November 7th, 2018. I put in my diary, get drunk and kill myself. But that's only because I had a meeting with this person. Oh, hey gal. Do you have anything you want to add to the podcast? Uh, because I did it earlier, but my voice was really deep. Yeah.

Stand up to cancer I did. I had a month run of the glitter room. I think we should go back to like the get drunk and kill myself. It's because I didn't want to have that meeting that was happening. And I wanted my agents to see me put that in my shared calendar. I was not really going to kill myself. Good. Honey, I'm going through this calendar and I wasn't doing anything bad. I know, but you've told me like... No, but it's many months before. Do you know what my calendar says? Nothing. Nothing.

But I can tell by my calendar how busy I was. Yeah, but you can't tell by mine. All right. Do you know what I mean? Bobby's asking if I dated anyone before him and I didn't. Like for months. Hey, Violet can confirm this. Come around here so we can hear you on the podcast. At least months. Okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you the last time it was. It was June... That's not true. 27th, 2018. Okay.

It was June 27th, 2018. Based on your calendar. Yeah. Who? I can't say names on the podcast. So based on my calendar. Look at me. Who? You know, but I can't say names on the podcast. No. Based on my calendar, I've never been with anyone else before in my entire life. Based on mine. You had a wife. It's on my calendar.

It's in the court documents that we needed. But not the calendar, which is what you're looking. By that, how do you feel... I'll tell you in one second. Literally, I'm not going to say it on the podcast. How do you feel about the way your TikTok's going, the fact that you're more famous than I am? I'm more famous than him, not you. Okay. And what's your newest goal? Not really. Yes. How? How many Instagram posts do you have? Instagram's fucking stupid. Weirdos post on Instagram, no offense. And boomers. Yeah, that's what I meant.
