Terred hill just bit my ear Hello, welcome into another edition of Wanging On Grem Norton Amara McCurlin. Hello. We're giving advice, we're not experts that will become apparent. How are you? I'm very good thank you. How the hell are you? I'm good but well here's the thing you know because this is we do give advice we do I am going to turn to you my goodness But it's got it's too late for you to help me I feel like to help somebody else. Okay. And also we can't use a time machine. I made a lot of mistakes in this story. Right. How long is this story? Not long. Okay . So you know, I have that thing where if people message me about things, ask me to do things I will engage a bit and got to go no da and then I'll get to a bit where I kind of think I can't be bothered to engage with this anymore. I'll just stop replying to these messages. Okay, I see where this is going. Okay , so that's on me. Yeah , that is my kind of ostrich head in the sand way of dealing with that problem. So I was doing that to someone and then I bumped into them, right? And they were very nice. There was no awkwardness. And I'm like, Oh, that's good. And then they went Oh , I should give you my number because your number , I think I've got an old number. Oh, clever of them. So I'm going, okay and they're giving me their number . And you're putting it in and putting it in place. No, and then she's saying , Oh, just call me and then I'll have your number. And I'm thinking, yeah, what I call you, it will just come up as Graham Norton. Oh my goodness because my number has not changed . So there was a little look in the face when it happened , but I felt terrible . And is there something you could say like what's how do you excuse that? How do you kind of go, oh, that's weird. You have my number in your phone given that it's a brand new number? I think you have found out, Graham. And I don't think there's much to be done about that. It's just like saying, I'm powerful person. Well, because then neither of you , the elephant in the room was, why haven't you replied to my message? Well, bless them, they assumed I couldn't be that rude and they must have been using an old number . Yeah, but then as it transpired, you are that rude. Rude. But what about if you say, Oh , I lost my phone so I've been using a burner phone . I lost my phone for a while, but I'm going to back now. Oh, I've got a message from you. Oh, look, I've got hundreds of messages from you. Get the hint hint I do think that you know, oh I've got a wrong number. No just get the hint. Well here's the here's the advice I would give to you. Don't bother with the hint . Just go for the jugular and say no . I know that's a hard word food to say . Should we discuss that for a while? I know but it is very hard and you got to think of my age, why would I care? Well, because everybody wants to be liked and you don't want to be seen as some sort of devish presenter. Yeah . So, you know, we asked Graham and he just said no, flat out. But you know, nothing's stopping you from making up an excuse. Also work things. I always kind of think, Oh, go to my agent. Yeah , I just gotta think that's what they're there for so that they can be rude to you. Yeah. Well, then future. I don't have to be rude to you. In future, then, rather than the hint, as you're saying, get the hint , just say, Oh, sorry, really busy , would you mind running this past my agent? Melanie. Oh yeah, because I don't keep my own diary . I don't. I can't contract what I do. You don't need to make it go into any further explanation other than would you I'm really busy? Would you mind running this past Melanie? Because I don't I'm not sure. Yeah. But I hate that you know technology can now reveal you to be a nasty person. You could trip us up like that. Well, curse you, stupid phone. What were you expecting? Well, I wish I'd have been there for that . I said, Oh, he had your number all the time and you had his all the time . How funny? He must have been ignoring your message. I would have said, Were you ignoring her, Graham? No, it's not that it's just I'm sure that oh sometimes there's a thing with my phone, sometimes messages don't come through that is the sort of rubbish you end up saying. Kind of like oh the yes I've had some problems with my phone . Well I think most you keep messaging most people just say oh my god I saw your message and I thought it must reply to that. And then I just forgot. And honestly, I do do that all time. I do that my email thing is just full of keepers new, keep us new, keep us new. I eat to be replied to I have how long do you do that for? I've got about six thousand emails. Stop it. Yeah, keep as new, keep as new. And like when I go back to some of them from like the nineties and I think that ship has sailed. They don't want you to do that gig anymore that gig on behalf of the miners have gone. So hi , I've got new twenty minutes . Oh, it's hard though, isn't it? Because you don't want to be horrible to people and you don't want to be seen as that person. Oh no, it's too busy for us. He's on the tele blah blah blah, which people jump to that conclusion very, very quickly. Yes, in fact, I'm not too busy. I'm sitting in my garden . Well, you just I think it's fine to say I don't want to. I wish I could, but I don't want to. Yes. Oh, that sounds lovely, but not for me . It's a dilemma. Yeah. I mean, I've stopped when I turn things down, when I do bother turn things down, I've stopped giving reasons. Good for you. So I just kind of go, I can't. Yeah, because I've got to take my dog to the dentist and the thing is the cat did the thing. You just said, No , good luck with it. Yes. My house burnt down. You might have read about it . Good luck with it. I think Alan Carr is free. Do you want this number? Yeah, throw them all under the bus. Yeah , let them do it. Yeah . Yeah, I felt but I felt bad. I did feel bad. Anyway, so you'd know advice . But is this? Can I just say advice? This is good foreshadowing . Yes, it is, it is. What's to come? What's to come? I've given you the advice is stop doing the hint and just do the no. No , that happened. He's changing my life. I just in that moment, what would I have said? Oh, in that moment. Nothing. I think you could have gone with the honesty box and you could have gone with ah, you caught me. Or I could have fainted . That's what I do . That is exactly what I do as you know. Yeah. , listen, we are here to help others, not ourselves. So that will happen very shortly. Maria, yeah. A letter please. Okay, this is a short one. I like this one. Oh, excellent. Digem and Maria love the pod and want to know what you make of this tiny complaint of mine. Right. Me and my boyfriend have been happy together for two years and our relationship is still sexy, fiery and exciting. Tumble bragged. The only thing is he won't shave down . He's quite a suit gentleman all over , and I do find him very attractive, but I would really much prefer it if his meat and two veg were totally bare to guarantee smooth sailing as it were. We'll push you there and we'll get to this. I've heavily hinted that I'd prefer this, but so far he's refused to shave because it comes he can't be bothered. Am I unreasonable if I keep pushing this from Emma, not my real name? Well, that's a difficult one because autonomy over your body and all of that is very important. But then if he wants his meat and two veg to be nurtured and loved , then I think it's only decent of him to although the growing back is the horrible thing, isn't it? Also Emma, Emma, Emma, he's a hairy man. Yeah . So if you get rid of that, it will look like he's had a duve transplant or something from a do ll. Well, nobody's gonna be looking at that except Emma. Yeah, exactly. That will just look so weird. Hairy, hairy, hairy, hair, what that? You know , are these new ? Did you get these from a shop Like that would just look really weird. And also I don't understand. Maybe I'm I'm this is showing my age, but you know , pubes they're known for reason. I think it's because ladies have, you know, of late been encouraged to go for the prepubescent look, which, you know, it's a personal thing as well. Hygienically blah blah blah blah, you know, trapping smells and nastiness . What's going on down there Pop concert most nights . There's a nest . Oh, an owl lives down here . What are you doing in my pants forever ? But so I suppose I think you owe I think men owe us that if we're going to strip ourselves bare of any kind of hairiness . But hairy man , oh so no but hairy man yes hairy back, hairy this and all of that, that's fine, but that area is not getting specific attention that involves being in that vicinity for some time . Well, we don't know. But no, here's the thing, the smooth sailing. I was thinking what were you thinking? I was thinking is it like a velcro thing where all the pubes are getting entangled and they counted . But of course Emma will be bare. So in fact so the pubes on all the hairs on her smoothness is irritating her. I think. Actually, I'm thinking more of an oral situation here. Okay . . You know, so then that is film it out of the way. Is it Elmet? Pop a comb into your bra before you hop down there. Center parting. Bob's your uncle. I think it's quite hard to if he's a suit man and a hairy man , it's quite hard to avoid. No, you could damp it down, get a blow dryer out. Stop it now . Kill the mood why don't you? I'll start in a minute. Would you like a perm while I'm down here? No, I think I don't know, I'm really I'm conflicted on this. I think look, I suppose it's one of those things because I just think he would look disgusting if he was bare down there. But nobody's looking apart from Emma. Yeah, but Emma 's gonna be naked and show his meat and tooth veg to the world. Go does this look foolish to you or what? It's only her and she's the one that is giving a lot of attention to that particular region. I love that you thought it was a Velcro thing. Like his hair was somehow Velcroing against her. Can I just say yeah it will be quite the curveball on naked attraction. What? Well, you know with the screen you've got like hairy hairy area in there like what ? I think I've seen that on naked att raction . Yeah. I mean not that I watched that regularly No, I know I hardly do . Because actually out of context when you get kind of that bit, you know, the head and the neck and the body, you kind of go nice and then you get that bit and you kind of go sort of spoilt it all now. It's not both women and men , I don't think aesthetically the genitals are pleasing . I think if you're not in the right mood, it suddenly seems very medical . I mean, negative action looks like you're in an autopsy. Once you're actually doing the thing that they're meant to do , then you're not bother. Then you're not bothered. No, you're not bothered at all. And that is sort of nature taking over. But if you're going to paint them or wanted to look at them because of their beauty then no. No . So what are we saying to Emma? I'm saying You see, I think by the fact that her boyfriend has said I can't be bothered . That doesn't show much interest in Emma's kind of need for a set. I think if you say I can't be bothered to shave down there, you can't be bothered to go down there. Well, hey , here's a compromise. And I do think it's about the growing out. The growing out is hellish it. Just trim, just get down there . It's a nice trimmer and tidy it all up. Tidying up is, you know, that's a good idea. Because I think I think he will be worried like if he plays sports or anything and he's in a changing room, you know, everyone will just go, what the hell? And he has to go that stupid girl I'm dating Emma made me. And yeah, I do think these days that most men I know, not just gay men, most men I know do a little bit of judicious trinning. Well, because now back in the day, you'd have to kind of repurpose shavers and things. But now they've brought out a whole range of like body shavers and da da. So there's lots of products. So Emma, here's a nice thing, buy him one. Buy him one of those body grooming things because they've a long handle Nile strimmer that sort of thing. You can get you can get everywhere you want with it. There's an extension . Yeah, and you can dust high corners with it as well if you mean the other thing you could do, Emma is buy him a backsack and cracked session at the beauty parlour because he's what did you think that was a demonic? No father just made me think of a dog groomer. It's very similar. Yeah , give them cheats on all fours. You could say Finish, you could say just try it once for me. It's going to be a bit ouchy, but you know, you might like the finish and you might want to do it again. I don't think he will because growing out is itchy . Yes. He finds him attractive, which is good. And it's been two years and everything is fiery and sexy and good. This is a tiny thing and I think he needs to kind of do something for you on this department in this department. Trim, yeah. Trim. And compromising, Emma, we're going for quite a tight nail scissors down . And I would say that you've obviously it doesn't repulse Emma because she's managed to be fiery and on it for two years . You know, it was absolutely gross down there if it was kind of the land that time forgot . Then why Praise start preachers. What can I hear? Jurassic Park down there. A pterodactyl just bit my ear I think the Wangers won't have replied to this at all. Ridiculous . That would be good. We just went to the Wanger response sheet, we just sorry, crickets now. Tumbleweed. Who have we got got? We've Diane in Lancashire, who says there are specialist tools to handle Nether Region, so I suggest you shave him as part of Sixy Time, make it part of foreplay. Oh, lovely, that's a great idea . Dress up as a nurse . A veterinary nurse. I mean, a lot of men wouldn't want you down there with a pair of nails, isn't it? No , not nails. There's a safety guard and he 's on those things, yes, but if you trim, I think that's the best way with a pair of nail scissors. No, you put a guard on with a you know, you pick your number and off you go to do a little bit of a shape. But not like a crew cut, yeah. Oh, you know, you know, whatever floats your boat . Another Diane in Cheshire says I believe this is a simple matter of his body so it's his choice . Oh sister Diane . Would you like it if he insisted on you shaving certain areas? We don't know Diane, he may have already insisted on that. Everything has been wonderful and exciting for two years, so what makes you think it would be improved if he made this change? If he doesn't want to shave down there , then you'll just have to accept his decision. Okay, Diane . I mean that's boring, but she's right . It was a dull response, but she is absolutely correct. Yeah. But I do think if he wants attention in that department of a sexy nature hide sweets down there or something . And a Ferrari . And magazines. Alice Did she fair ? Alice there from Kilbarken. Kilbachan? We've had this before. Okay . Dear Pubbing. I hope it's the same person. Okay, I can't imagine anyone else from this town has bothered right in. Anyway, to hear the name of the term mangled . Alistair says dear pubic problem holder as a fellow hairy bloke I can see both sides of this. It can be it can be like wading through a floss ing forest down there and when unkempt , but shaving keeps it smooth for a very limited time and it can be uncomfortable, itchy and give the nether regions a look of an uncooked turkey . Nice image. Especially if he's like a gorilla everywhere else. Discuss with your boyfriend to try it once versus keeping it shaved or well trimmed to see if he likes it. And if not, then respect his choice. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot and he ruled over your foof regime. Foof, do you know what a foof is? I can guess. Yeah . You might notice it's not a belly button You might not feel so pushy. Thank you very much Alice there from Tilmachen. A non says If you're getting nowhere by asking him to shave , let yours grow. Grow yourself a muff and see what he says. If he says shave it off, then ask him to do the same. If he doesn't, you may have to let it go this once. Shaving is a faff , what's a faff? Aff is very similar to okay, yeah. Shaving is a faff and it should be a personal choice. Eleanor says as a woman . Yeah, yeah. Eleanor has noticed that she is a woman . As a woman faff. I've been shamed by men for having any hair down there and pressure to remove it. It's taken many years to not feel shame around a bit of hair and just do what I want with my body. So I think you can make a suggestion as you already have, but it's about autonomy and ultimately it's his body to do what he wants with. I also can't be bothered is perfectly reasonable. I don't know if she's been ironic there. Well, and also have they talked about it? Because Emma just says heavily hinted. Like what does that mean? You know, get down says I can't see the wood for the trees. Yeah She could do hoo, have you had a shower today? Yeah, yeah, things like that. Or go down and go send a rope down . I'm tangled . It's like Velcro down here. I can't remove my foot Your foo and my foof . What a faff Good words with E Emma. Thank you so much for writing his in. We enjoyed the problem more than I thought we would. You need to get out more, that's what I can say. Good luck with whatever he decides. Now, I don't know if we open this up to the comments or not let's do it. So fully shaven or wild and free, let us know what you prefer. We will prefer what do you prefer? You know, under control , you know, not like a forest fire, but you know , there we go. We'll have another problem in just a moment .

Cookie Digrem and Maria really love the pod. I wanted to ask for your advice. My older brother and his girlfriend have been together for over ten years and it's pretty clear their relationship isn't the healthiest . When they have fights they are big and messy so much so that the whole family, brackets and even friends end up getting involved. His girlfriend often comes to me to vent or ask for my opinion and in the past I've really tried to help listening, giving advice, even talking to my brother , but it's become a cycle. After a few days, they're back together, acting like everything's fine and nothing happened, posting lovely dove stuff on social media until the next fight. It's honestly exhausting and I don't want to be pulled into it anymore, especially since I've been dealing with some health issues and need to avoid stress. Recently after another big fight she reached out again for advice how should I respond? I feel like I've already given up on trying to help them. Salamat, which means thank you . And that is from anonymous in the Philippines. Thank you, Graham and Maria. What does anonymous mean? That's I mean I think I was going to call it anonymous salamatic. Anonymous, I feel like you just say scroll up, you know, scroll up. The thing I said the last time is the thing I'm going to tell you now. You haven't been listening to me for ten years , so knock yourself out . I've got nothing new to add. I think you just say finally , I've been dealing with some issues myself at the moment. I haven't actually got the band width for this right now . Really sorry, I hope you sought it out. I mean, you know, just be honest a bit like Graham wasn't earlier. Yeah, I didn't respond to because I didn't want to. My phone's broken. Yeah, my phone is broken. Oh, but yes. Yeah. Yeah, I think you just have to be very honest, anonymous, and you've done your best and you're not a sounding board for them. I'm sure in the past you've suggested that they go to counseling. I mean, it's the whole family, it's the friend circle. And I feel like some relationships, it's not healthy. Rely on that. But it's kind of their now. And it's how they end up sending the lovely Dev Messages on social media. It's the makeup sex, it's all of that. And you know, some couples they kind of thrive on having big fights in front of other people . And getting other people to sort of air their opinions and be on their side. And it's exhausting. And what do you get out of it? Nothing. Yeah. So I just think, you know , I think the person that everyone could talk to, you know , anonymous and the family is the brother and just go, look, we like you, we like your girlfriend . Whatever this cycle is good luck to you, but please don't get involved . Please don't think we're going to get involved anymore because we' spveent ten years. It's a decade heart wasted words. Yes, of heartfelt advice, you know, spending the time , all of that for, as you say, just wasted time because no one's listening to you. Well, it's clearly not the brother who's actually talking to anonymous anyway. It's the girlfriend all the way. I think talking to your brother. He's your brother. Yeah Who's this woman? But he can't say to the girlfriend, by the way, stops stop texting my sister. No, but I do think the sister can just kind of go I've said everything I have to say. But also I think her recent health issues are a good way to say enough , you know, I've got my own stuff going on at the moment. Really sorry, good luck. And also that's not just an excuse. It's true. She needs to avoid stress, so I'm avoiding you you're stressed. Stressy mix, stress face. Yeah . I find you stressful . You're too much of a faff . And you know what I like with a faff? I'll be finding out with Wangers and we are about to find out what they're like . Yes, because I think we irdly a shocking number of people will relate to this because I think an awful lot of people have couples like this in their life. Yeah. And you finally want to say talk to the hand. Yeah, because I don't care. Kathleen says, Yikes Drama alert. With all these red flags one would think it's a circus . I would have a family meeting or intervention, discuss the impact it is having on the family and ask for support . As a united effort the, entire family can set healthy boundaries and let the couple know not to drag everyone into the chaos. So I know you roll your eyes at the idea of family music, but actually they're the ones who've done this . They've opened this up to the rest of the family. So actually , I think a person who wrote to us anonymous could do that and just get everyone around, do an intervention and kind of go look as a collective, we are saying more. If you guys want to have these fights and be in this cycle, knock yourselves out, but leave us alone. Yeah. And it is having an impact on everybody, clearly. Lou in Pulborough has some sort of device and she's managed to reach us. It sounds to me that your brother and his girlfriend , the fact that they've been together for ten years is that they are in a fairly stable, solid relationship. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been together for ten . And the fact that they like to continuously try to get friends and family involved in their relationship means that maybe they just get a bit bored. I think you need to just politely bow out and say , you know, but rather you just didn't get me involved anymore. I really genuinely think they're just doing this for attention. Yeah. I mean, it's an unhealthy relationship, but it works for them. It only works for them because they can offload on everybody else. I mean , it's about boundaries really and truly anonymous. You have to actually erect those boundaries. I know it's a bit late , because at the moment, it's a codependency and you are one of the code dependents in keeping this relationship going, keeping them getting back together and posting the lovely dovey until the next time. Without that, let's see what happens, but it's not your responsibility . But it's so it's very hard not to get involved because it's upsetting when people have a big row and somebody's crying and then ask you it's very hard to just go no, you're boring me because it is hard, but I mean boundaries sometimes are hard and if they're doing that in front of you excuse yourself, remove yourself from the situation. I've suddenly gone very hard ass on myself, have you? Yeah, I know it's good. I like it. Claire in North Wales says you can't help them. If you could, you wouldn't still be in this position after ten years. True. True. So here's what you do. Rug, prepare non committal phrases like I don't know. Who can say who's right? I can see both sides don't engage. You are a shrug in human form she will give up in annoyance when you don't feed her drama. That is true, Claren Northwales, do not feed the beast. But I wonder if everyone just starts shrugging , I think it will then bond the boyfriend and the girlfriend in a kind of hating the rest of the family. Kind of it'll be them against the world. Because they obviously got they've got to have an extra grind. They have got to have an extra grind. But if it's against you, so be it, you know, you're out of it. I mean, it does sound to me like they need this attention more than you, much more than you do and you don't need it so you know shrug and go away. Anonymous it is a very, very relatable problem . Hopefully you have some success in putting some distance between you and this couple. Wangers, thank you very much for all of your advice. And if you have a dilemma, do get in touch. It's wanging on at listen.co and that's also where you send your I weir ds ? Am I weird? Today's Today's Am I Weird has been sent to us by Matthew whom Matthew decides not to tell us whereabouts in the world he is. Oh that tells us a lot. Can I can say' It feel for Matth ew because I think we've been quite we've been quite strict today with our advice. We've been quite I think we've been quite harsh. So good luck, Matthew. Do you think we should soften up now is it time? No too late now. No go on as we mean to go on. Okay, hi Grandma, Maria . This is part Am I weird and part please grant me forgiveness. My grandmother passed away at the start of the year and I was tasked with compiling a photo montage of her life to be projected during a moment of reflection at the funeral. Oh . Am I weird that once I started photoshopping pictures of my grand to make it seem like she lived a sm il lifeier with better skin , it was hard to stop. The funeral was lovely and people had tears in their eyes at the life of a slightly sunnier tad bustier lady than their memories serve to remember . Matthew . When we go, we all want a Matthew . I'm already booking you, Matthew . Like for a week on Sunday That's just joyous, isn't it? Someone was there kind of going, will remember you slightly better than you were. Come on. Yeah, we all want that. Yeah. Not the miserable, flat chest n,ut bad skinned doll y were . So I'm going to say Matthew, we are being softer now, but I genuinely feel it. That's not a weird thing, Matthew. That is a nice thing. You did a good thing. Your granny will be smiling wherever she is. Well trying. And here's the thing, although if anyone's listening to this and thinking, Oh Graham and Miria endorsed it, we're endorsing it to a point like because it could get funny. Like it could get ridiculous if suddenly, you know, the bosoms are very large. You want kind of Katie Price or Only Fans Yeah, you know, Gene Alota Bridged suddenly I don't remember Granny Deep. Wow. Granny was a page three girl. Now we're going to have granddad open coffin with a very return on it . So yes, I think Matthew, you got away with it because you were subtle enough. And you were kind and we all need to be more kind even though we have been very harsh . Yeah, we've been violent. But you know, that's, you know, been we've going for long enough. People know what to expect now . I want to see a picture of Matthew's granny. Ah , it'll see him before and often. Yeah, it'll be Rega's wives She was h ot . No. Even on her death bed, she looked great. In a bikini and everything . Oh, legs of a twenty year old . I'm saying Matthew is not weird. Matthew is Matthew is sweet and kind weird and forgiven. There's nothing to forgive. You know the lovely thing . Yeah, but like I say, it's fine a fine line, I feel between a kind funeral and a laughing stalk . Yes. Do not cross that line, no, mind you , there's something lovely about laughing at a funeral. Do you know whenever, I give a speech at the funeral, I always think this is the easiest crowd I've ever managed because people are so kind of hoo sad so the easiest joke gets a laugh. Oh yeah, you're tight ten minutes. I just kind of go up. And you don't know the person or anything. You've just shown up. Yeah . Yeah. You just see a crowd and a hearse and you're like I go . Here's one lady. Here's one. You will like this. Yeah. Don't pay me. I'll just take these flowers. How did you stay so hot all your life? Cremation. Hey Barry Cryer .
