My gay friends are all again heated rivalry because everyone is so perfect and they keep saying oh no people aren't like that in real life We want to watch ugly people cop all Hello, hello, welcome to this episode of Wang with Graham and Maria Handley. I am Graham. And that 's Maria. I am Maria McCarlaney. In a jumpsuit. Well, it's a sort of all in one thing. It's quite annoying to take off when you go to the loop. But luckily you don't . That stopped a long time ago. I know. I'm a husk. I'm as dry as a husk. Just a few little rabbit pellets to collect in the evening. Tell me this. Now, here's the thing. Yeah, you probably don't do this. What? Because I'm a bit of a maschist. Sometimes on Di YouTube, I might scroll down. And people like talking about what you're wearing. I know. They say they admire your style, Marie. Well, can I just tell people that most of my things come from charity shops or vintage shops? Both of these things. Previously loved. Previously loved , yes. It's not like I enjoy shopping in those. It's not out of necessity. Obviously, I'm loaded. Yeah . Nash . I mean, we're podcasters. I know right. Hello. In a million podcast millionaires. Yeah. So no, I like vintage and I like kind of, you know, to have a little ferret around. So both of these things . And that's where a lot of my things come from. I mean, the only time I feel like I have to get some shiny things is when I'm doing drag race. Yes. You feel like you've got to wear something a bit. But what do you want? I don't know why 'cause what I'm competing with drag queens , it doesn't matter what I wear. You girl they're looking at old girl . What's your lovely dresser's name ? Lindsay. Lindsay. She finds such great outfits for your show, for your chat show. You know, and she's tapered you down. Yes, kind of moved away from the sequins and now you're and the short shorts and things yeah I feel she and speedo I never really liked that speedo face. Yeah it wasn't comfortable as a chat show look . There weren' manyt sequins on those features as well. You can't fit that many on. So clothing. Yeah. Like now I have a sort of uniform so I don't think about what I'm wearing. So I'll nearly always wear jeans trainers , a white shirt neck t shirt and then something over it. Boom, done. Yeah. Done and done. Do you think like that no? Yes, I do. For my day to day , I'm kind of tracksuit bottoms and just a jumper. Okay . Or you know, sometimes just my pajamas on a really good day When I've got a lot on when I'm so busy, busy, busy. That inbox won't read it so much. What I quite like being by the seat be by the coast is I've got one of those big dry robes everyone hates. I mean, it's a coat for goodness sake. There's a whole Facebook page dedicated to dry robe. I think it's called Wankers. Dryrobe Wankers . And I keep thinking guys, it's a co at. You know, there are other things, there are other hills to die on. But how do dry robes become a thing? Because you're right, it is just a coat . Get a coat. Well, it's not in an island the whole dryrobe wanked. You know, there's that in D bubidlin where they all go to swim. Oh yeah. And they could see yeah sea, that's right. But there's a whole bay which is like a trendy bay. It was in sisters with Sharon Horgan. Yeah, etc. The forty foot I think it's they they decided that they were taking again the dry robes. And so they had to do a separate area for dryrobe wearers. And I mean, it just is like there's wars going on in the world, but no, let's take it to the wire on the dryrobe. So I think that's where it started. And then on these dryrobe wanker groups they spot dry robes in the wild, like as far away from the sea as possible. Oh, and that'll be you. That'll be me today . I'm in London. Hey everyone , come throw exit me. Actually, I hadn't even thought of that. I did because I saw you just said and you were in your driveroom. Yes, it is quite you're quite far from any form of pond or anything. But it is so , so comfortable and so warm and, I like to think it of as my shoplifting coat. I was just joking. It's very big and voluminous, usually . There are quite a few things missing from here later on that I will be taking in all my pockets of my dry robe. And what about other things in life that we're adapting to as we go ? I seem to remember you once in your take that phase you had sort of highlights in your hair. I did go get a frosted tip for a little while. I like that notion. So I remember when I left college I bleached my hair. Bleached my hair. And I remember I was in America I said something to someone about dying my hair. And she looked so shocked and she went, you dye your hair. And I went, yeah, I mean, I thought it was obvious. And she went, No, no, I just thought you couldn't have chosen that color . Jesus thought nature had given me yellow hair. Well, of course in the olden days you used to put sun in where if you were on holiday or lemon the sun or lemon juice, but the sun bleached up sun in, so you would have lovely blonde dresses, just, you know, beach babe hair. But then after a week or two, it went really orange It just didn't stay blonde. Once you out' ofre the sun back in England, that is no one talks about that. No one talks about it. No one talks about it. But no , yeah, eventually , because the thing about dying your hair it takes a long time if you're getting it done. You know, they have to put the bits of foil in and on . And I bet that's for tips. If you had a full head done, it'd be why but then because they do it for you. No, but then you look weird then because no one's hair is just one color. No, then you look like Paul McCartney. Well no, they I think there's a lot of foil going on there. Oh is there? Well, he did have a block color and it wasn't good. So yeah, that is a thing to avoid. It just takes so long. Easier to be grey. I obviously don't know what my natural hair color is. I'm going slightly darker blonde I was , but I just use a box. I'm really started in lockdown because you couldn't go to a hairdresser. And it takes me twenty minutes. Are you right? I'm at the Devina and Hollywood The gloves are gloves, roots through it through its brush it not brush it through, rub it through for the last ten minutes and it smells of all piss. No it doesn't. That's just my natural odor Hey, listen we must dawdle no longer because there are dilemmas a ho .

Maria, please open our first letter. I will Graham, and it's right here. Okay, here we go. Dear Graham and Maria, I'm a fifty two year old divorce mother with a se venteen year old son. My partner and I have been together for four years and everything has been going really well with him and my son. They get on so well. One evening recently my son went off to play Padel with friends and was coming back late . Meanwhile , my partner and I enjoyed a couple of negrones in front of the fire and watched a few episodes of heated rivalry. Think we know where this is Gorwin . One thing led to another , and soon we were in the throes of passionate relations. Mid passionate ride, to my horror, I heard the front door being opened and my son came home. I shrieked, and told him to wait. He quickly realized what was going on and disappeared into his bedroom. We hastily gathered our scattered clothes and retreated into the bedroom. This has not been mentioned since and I'm after advice on how to deal with this . Should I just carry on as if nothing happened or apologise and discuss it? Please help. That's from anonymous. I think this is an Irish one because I'm after advice on how to deal with and also passionate ride whisperous Ireland are you given to yourself where it's Marianne Keith . No, thank you anonymous. I think that's a rather marvelous letter. And I think what you did was the right thing is to shriek. Yes , because your seventeen year old son wasn't faced with the picture in his head which he would never be able to unse m Yeah . I think that would have been far worse. So just here made worse, I feel by a freeze framed heated rivalry sex scene in the background . Because whoever this new partner is , I mean, hats off to him for getting his kit off while he did rivalry resolve. I know because I 'll be perfect. I mean, you know what I mean ? You will literally pale in compar .rass Buting my gay friends are all again heated drive already because everyone is so perfect and they keep saying oh no, people aren't like that in real life. We want to watch ugly people cop off also in television . In LA and New York, where people are obsessed by the gym and not eating cobs, everybody put all the gays do look like that. I gotta they're ice scotty, Ice hockey players. You know, they're athletes, they're supposed to look amazing. Yeah. Yeah, that's the point of them. But you know, like literally it's their full time job. No, but what about Kip who works in the coffee shop? All those pastries he takes his kid off his No, he just has a little smoothie, a little protein smoothie and then he goes to the gym in between shifts . I mean, it is also the quietest coffee shop ever. They only have one customer and then he only comes in every few weeks . So there's a lot of time to work out. Hello again . I recognize you from three weeks ago when you were quiet. You're usual from the last time . What was it? Blueberries with bananas? I got it. Anyway, anonymous. We're going back to you now. Yes, you stopped your son coming in and seeing the horror of his mother astride being ridden passionately. Now there, now then I don't think he's seventeen . You know, it's good that you're still doing it because it's like, you know, this is we're older, but it doesn't stop. Yeah. It carries a new relationship. They should be doing it. Four years, that's quite a long time. Oh , not when you're fifty two. That's a blink of an eye. Here's the thing. If you wanted to say something , you had to say it the next morning. You left it too late. It's too late. You can't talk about it again. And look, the thing is, he hasn't brought it up. Hopefully he's not being weird around you or your new partner. So he's fine. He's seventeen. Yeah, he knows these things happen. I mean, I agree with you . I think everyone's grateful that I were not involved. You just heard a bit of what, you know, whatever, Ice hockey. A bit of heated driver . And then he went to bed a puck. Hitting the back of the net? No there's an allegator , it's ended happily and the good thing is I think you did a foolish thing in that presumably you knew your son was going to come home. I know you'd had a couple of negronies. How many but you know, it's getting your kiss off in the living room when your son was out very wise. But I'd like the spontaneity because sometimes you go , I suppose we should have sex go up to the bedroom. I quite like the spontaneity. You'd had a few times. I need to look at heated rivalry if we're gonna do this . Can we get it on your computer ? I mean, I just think this is a good letter. It means you're having a nice time with your new partner. He gets on well with your son. Your son is cool about it. You know, he'll be doing the same in a minute. And also not already. And also, I think anonymous, anonymous sounds like, you know, she's living her life, she's having a good time. So I think there'll be a moment when you can make a joke about this, you know, like when he's going out kind of going, Oh, you know , be sure to text before you come home or, you know, don't forget to ring the bell. You know, there'll be you could make a joke of it. Yeah. And then he'll go, Mom, I live here. Yeah. And then and then it'll be just it'll be a dressed. It won't be into Irish folklore. We're interested in what the waggoners have to say . So let's find out what they had to say. Salway . Congratulations. This is from Richard in Bangkok. He'll have an open mind. Bangkok Congratulations. You have accidentally given your seventeen year old a live demonstration that adults over fifty are not in fact powered down at night like household appliances. It's quite a sort of lengthy metaphor. We got there. First, breathe. This is not a crisis. It's a rite of passage, yours and his . Your son did the universal teenage move. Immediate retreat do,or closed, memory suppressed. That tells us everything we need to know. He understands what happened, he understands it's normal, and most importantly, he does not want to discuss it ever . Proceed with what we call polite collect ive amnesia . Be normal, be kind, pass the cereal, let time do its quiet healing work , and only if he raises it a simple calm line works wonders Sorry about the awkward timing. We'll be more careful. Can I just say your son is never going to raise this subject? way never No way but do you think he'll tell his friends about it at school? I mean I would you would. I feel like the friends the puzzling bit in telling your friends about it is that they're watching heated rivalry. Why is that puzzling? Well, because it's weird, I understand how anonymous , you know, yeah so that's no, but it's hot, it's hot for both sexes. I mean it's about gay sex, it's about two men. And yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, thank you. But all the girlfriends that I have told me to watch it said, Oh, it's very good. It's very good for getting off. Really? Yeah, yeah . Okay . Well, because a hot body is a hot body. You know, it's not like, oh, I can't possibly watch them. They're gay. I need a straight man. I mean, look, at the porn of the nineteen seventies, straight porn of the nineteen seventies, you had Ron Jeremy, who was a little fat man of three foot with the same length penis. Yeah. But it wasn't for women though. Who was it for? It was for men. So they liked seeing an ugly guy get all the beautiful women. Is that right? I don't know. He made a lot of movies if someone was watching. He did. But I mean, surely, but that would make a man not want to watch him because he had a massive penis . And so for men of average or we say less than average girth , that was, you know, they would think I'm never going to get those birds because I don't have a big dick. How did we get here? Just a simple phrase passionate ride and now look . Shall we leave this for the moment? We'll come back to it, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, we will. Stephanie's Porhord, you've been on mastermind with that subject . Well, I was amazed that I managed to conjure Ron Jeremy out of the Maya, that is my team. You've seen your head rent free . Oh my God, I might start a Ron Jeremy Fancum. Okay , Lizzie from London says you should talk to him about it. He's seventeen, probably at it more than you. You should say I'm sorry you caught us in the act we'll be more careful in the future. I'm sure you're having sex too or will be soon. Do make sure you understand consent. Ask me questions if you have them, don't learn from porn and do have a good supply of condom s. This is a great chance to have a chat with him about it all. I love that, Lizzy from London. It's like no, Lizzie's like every moment's a teachable moment like kind of it's not about fun , it's about doing it right . Hey, yeah, Lisa in Shropshire. Yeah , she's given us a voice. Hooray . I think the important point is whether any doors are separation. Did he immediately walk through the door and he's upon the scene of the crime or did he walk through the door and there's something blocking his view from something he would never ever want to see. Definitely owed an apology. Assure him it will never happen again and hopefully at some point he will see the funny side. Obviously not right now. She's very worried about it. It sounds very urgent. Yeah, there's a lot of concern in her voice. Yeah, just so I think we've established that no doors were opened on this one. Yeah, no. There was a shriek. Not even the back door No , Graham . Maria. We don't need to go there no. Some viewers may find this offensive . All viewers may find this offensive. Okay, Jamie from Cheltenham says ol,ute Alybs do not bring this up with your son. As if catching you in the act wasn't bad enough, you want to put him through a birds and the bees talk after seeing a parental demonstration definitely a bad idea, especially if you are planning on using phrases like passionate rise . I can promise you that your son wants nothing more than to forget about this experience. I'm lucky enough to have never experienced this myself, but my friends have and I can promise none of them felt like they needed a post match review. That being said, I know the power of heated rivalry can be all consuming. Maybe just watch it in bed next time and wait until he's off to university before you make full use of the house. Ooh , it is true in Olives. We had very mixed responses to this, but lots of Wangers did mention that reading this letter has made them think, Ooh, must get into heated rivalry. It's good. It's very good. Heated rivalry too will be with us anymore. Yeah. I mean, the thing about heated rivalry it's had so much press a bit like a film where people say it's amazing you must go and see it and then you go and see it and you go Me . I mean it',s a rather lovely love st ory eventually. The first two episodes I felt just like gay porn. But you know, good to get off on because they're very beautiful. For some people, not me, obviously. No, no. No, no, no. You're out and about. Yeah, but I think you're working the seafront in Madr ow . Picking up fisherfol en and there 's you zip it off to reveal your pajamas . That is my outfit for taking the doctor walk on a rainy day. Pajamas, dry robe bubble hat. There we are. Do remember if you're watching this on YouTube, wade into the comments below. I use the word wait advisedly. What do you think anonymous should do? Right, we'll be on the horns of another dilemma shortly . This episode is sponsored by TV licensing, which honestly couldn't be more fitting because I've been watching so much Telly. Do you know what I've really got into now? Antiques Roadshow. It's like wrapping yourself in a lovely hand quilted thing that might be worth a lot of money. I know and you know what? In the olden days I used to think how much is this worth? I was really like everybody else just wanted to know. But now I'm getting into the history of things. I quite like hearing the stories. I like history and I also love the look of disappointment in their eye when they hear how much it's worth. That's a bit that sparks joy. Especially when they've caught it at Grandfather O'Clock . And they're told, that was made in nineteen eighty seven . It's probably worth nineteen pounds . Oh, did you spend more of that on transport? I'm not so sorry. Well, we have indeed hit that time of year when it's dark, it's cold, and we're all feeling a bit lazy. But the good news it's also the time of year when there's a lot of brilliant TV to dive into. And mine, my guilty pleasure, I have to say, is Coronation Street, Graham. It's back, isn't it? Back. What do you mean? It's good again. Ah, yes, it goes through peaks and trolls, like most relationships and marriages and friendship , but you can actually not watch it for weeks . And then you can tune in very quickly and find out what's going on. That is the nice thing about it. It is one of those things that I feel I've watched since time began. Yeah, well, you probably have. Yeah, yeah. And the way, you know the way on some shows, this sub bit at the beginning because you know, previously on da da. Not on Cori. No, on Cori, they just tell each other in Rover's return . You know what happened last night ? So is he still in prison then hitting that man over the head with a hammer ? Well, he didn't do. Yeah . And then insert joke and then everybody roars with laughter and then another tragedy happens. Do they still serve Betty's hot potters at off the menu. I'm so glad and there's a picture still of Betty in the Rover's return. Betty Turpin. Betty Turpin, yes. Isn't it weird how we just know all that stuff? Characters come and go, but still I like to tune into the cobbles. And what's extraordinary is a TV license covers you to watch over four hundred TV channels and everything on BBC Player. To find out more, go to TVL.co slash pod . Maria, it's time for another grave dilemma. What have you got? Have you got an envelope? Okay , letter number two . I'm just going to leave tidy up my area, Graham. If you could. Yeah. Dear Graham and Maria, I am twenty eight living in Cardiff with my twenty six year old boyfriend, and we share the same group of younger, much wilder friends. Every quiet pint turns into sunrise and regret, oh, I know that feeling. And I'm starting to feel like the tired old sister of the group. We do nothing outside of drinking and it's made me start to feel anxious every time we have plans with them. I love a martini as much as the next person, but the other stuff is just not for me and it makes me feel boring when I say no. It was fun going out all the time at first but now I feel a bit lost . I miss my family and nephews who are growing up very quickly, but moving home feels like going backwards. It's also a very small town and there's nothing there for me. I'm scared to turn thirty and realise I've built a life that doesn't really fit me anymore. Everyone says just make new friends. I've tried this through exercise classes and work but every,one has established friend groups and is not really interested . How do I create a life I love when I feel so lost? Oh holly, I feel you've gone from, you know, or we're drinking too much every night is sunset and regret into, you know, my life is awful. I need to change it. You say, Holly, that you go out with your boyfriend. You're twenty eight, he's twenty six. I mean, have you talked to him about it? Because it sounds like you're absolutely making plans without him. Like moving back home, seeing your nephews, et cetera . Because I finally as you were reading it, I thought, oh the dilemma is going to be how can I stay with this? Yeah, this boyfriend . But actually that doesn't seem to be the dilemma. I feel like she thinks she is going to stay with the boyfriend and that's not going to work if he's still into the big party lifestyle. It sounds like you're sort of cl inging to him when really you should be thinking I don't want any of this life that he has. I mean, Holly, first things first , talk to him. He may be feeling similar. Yes, he's two years younger than you, but you have to kind of think, let's project ahead. Are we going to be doing this when we're fifty , still going out and drinking lots and taking drugs or whatever they do? It's not what you want to do and it may well be that he doesn't want to do that either , in which case you can think about maybe going somewhere else together. Think about what your needs are for your life and I don't think you should move back. Yes. I think don't move back. It may well be, Holly, that this is not the man for you, but a conversation with him about the future will kind of reveal that. And if it's that he wants to carry on drinking and you don't, well, I'm afraid you have to suck that up. What do you think? Well, I think yes, it sometimes relationships work in a room and they don't work in the world . They're actually one on one, Holly and her boyfriend might be get on really well and they love each other and it's great . But if they when step out, he becomes this other person who loves partying and likes to and that's not who she is, then it's not enough that it's great when they're alone in a room. The other thing Holly, I would say is that given that she feels like, oh she's got to build this whole new life , actually you don't need much because what you want is you don't want the life you have , which is going out all the time and da da da. You want kind of an inner life, you want quiet pleasures, you want those things . So a lot of that you can do by yourself. You don't have to cut these people out of your life one hundred percent. All or nothing because I feel like, you know, see them once a month . You know, have a wild weekend once a month, da. The rest of the time, you know, stay home, cook, watch TV, read a book. People for a drink after work and do that thing of a two pint limit or whatever. It's a school night so I'm, you know, I'm going back. We've got beef bourgignon cooking away. Yeah , whatever. Yeah . But I feel like, you know, we all remember this bit where you feel like, ooh, actually it lights up in the club time. You know, I know how this story ends. Yeah . Everyone gets to that point where you realize, why am I here in this club ? Because actually nothing good's going to happen. There's no more fun to be had . I should just be at home in my bed . And you don't need to cut out all these friends because actually some of these friends , they will want to do what you can, you know , slightly siphon off the friends you want who are also looking a bit jaded. Dear God really? Head we're out again. What are we like? Sunrise and regret . But also don't move home because, you know, your nieces and nephews, you can move anywhere and go back at weekends and see them. It sounds like you're kind of going, I need to retreat . And retreating means moving back home. Don't do that . That's a backward move, literally. You need to go forward , meet new people, find new things to do, maybe a different town. It sounds like Cardiff has become a little small for you. I just think it's interesting that Holly feels so much that she's got to start again. Like she's got to go back to back to the beginning of the board game . And not passcoat. Yeah, choose a different route because I feel like, you know, you're twenty eight now and you have built this life and cardiff with this man . Do you need to get rid of all of it? I don't think you do. Unless she does feel she has the first thing H,olly is to talk to your boyfriend. Yeah, absolutely. Should we see? Shall we? I'm sure the Wangers will have Wanger Wisdom. Here we go. Very interesting to say, that's that bit. Amanda 's a lot to do. Amanda from Bristol says it doesn't have to be all or nothing. I said that I know I've been to Bristol. It's very nice Amanda . Try saying yes to fewer nights out, leaving early when it gets messy. Irish ex its are valued, and making more time to visit your family. You can also suggest daytime or low key plans that don't revolve around drinking, but if you feel like you've really outgrown them, bin them off. Interesting, Amanda, thank you. But also, Amanda doesn't mention this boyfriend. I do , I do feel like this whole problem, Holly, Holly's not talking about the boyfriend. Yeah. And actually I think elephant in the room. Yeah, I feel like he's key to either the problem or the solution. Indeed, Graham, you are wise indeed. Granny from Leistad. Oh my granny's written in. Granny from Leistad in Holland . Lellistad, I'm sorry if I've said that wrong. In Holland, thank you, Holland. If you actually like these people you go out with, why don't you find alternative activities you could all do together? Bungee jumping, clay pigeon shooting, whatever takes your fancy. Take the initiative and who knows you might be doing them a favour. And if they don't like the same things you do, then maybe you'll meet new friends doing the activities you enjoy. Be brave and be yourself. Life is too short to waste, and you can always make time to visit your family. Again, no mention of the boyfriend? Yeah . Louisa in San Diego, California . This show's so international. I know so. We should probably explain what a passionate ride is . I think that's universal . Why don't you sign up for a class through the Cardiff Makers Guild for an upcoming Friday or Saturday night? Here in San Diego knowing about the Cardiff Makers Skill. How does she know that? Or go to a movie with the Cardiff Community Cinema Club? I think she's just making it up . No , she's gone Google crazy. You could learn something new and popular. He works in IT. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You could a tech billionaire . You could learn something new and possibly meet new people. Good luck. Okay, Kate says Dear Lost at thirty. The answer to all your dilemm as is in your question. You want to create a life you love, but you're basing your life on the lives of your boyfriend and his friends. It's your one and precious life. Don't waste it. Take whatever time and space you need to figure out who you are and what makes you happy all by yourself. Once you've done that, you'll find your own tribe who fit into your life rather than the other way around. First mention of the boyfriend, that's very wise advice from Kate. Yes. Yes. And also it is interesting. I think, you know, Holly is at a particular time in your life . That late twenties , you know, you're saying twenty eight, but in your head, you're hearing thirty . And you know, I think you are kind of thinking, oh, is this where I want to be at thirty? I remember that. I remember feeling like that very much when I was twenty seven. twenty seven was when I kind of thought, oh God, this is not going to plan. Yeah , what should I do next? Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I wanted to be an actor and I, you know, by that by the time I was twenty seven I knew that wasn't happening. I was kind of, you know, doing a bit of standup, you know, life was not where I wanted it to be when I was twenty seven. Did you have a five year plan at twenty seven? No, I, you know, I was out of plans. I'd know plan B. Which, as it happened, turned out to be a good thing because it made me keep going with my loser life till finally a corner was turned. But just that evaluating your life and kind of being unsatisfied with where you are in your life, I really recognize that. Alison in Chicago says While I've never experienced this firsthand, I do have three sons about your age . Triplets and this is how I would advise them. You deserve to create the life you want. There is no roadmap to this new life . No one can tell you how to find it. Will it be easy? No . Will anyone do it for you? No . Will you need to move back home for a bit? Maybe. But the bottom line is you are allowed to make the life that has the most meaning for you . Well done for listening to that still small voice inside you that is saying it's time to go and find that future. Now look your fear in the eye and find the life you want. Em, isn't Alison great? Oh no, you hate Allison. Oh no, I really like Alison. I just thought Alison must be a great mom. I don't like having three sons about your age. What's wrong with that? She hasn't specified. Well, you know, they're mid twenties. They're Yeah, well done, Alison in Chicago. Thank you. I can only apologize, Alison. But Maria hates you because you' childveren. It's not that it's the vague generalization about your age. Three of them. Three . You know, I heard it. About the age of twenty eight. Yeah, you know, one's twenty three . Why can't she say that ? You'd have to read it all out and then you'd be bitching god , like we need to know whether exactly ages. Why would you say around the same age? No, I really liked what she said. All right. I really liked what she said, you know, will it be easy? No . I think that's a good thing to hear because actually Holly, I feel like she wants to flick a switch and kind of oh look they,'ve redone the windows in severity. Yeah . It's all different now . And that isn't how life works. It's little by little. It's true. Yeah. Thanks, Alison in Chicago. Holly, it is very thick, thanks. and never darken our door again. I feel bad now . I hope your sons about the age are all happy. Holly, it's a really relatable problem. I think we've all felt that way at some stage in our lives and I would say things get better. You know, she will find her way. Yes, of course Don't say no . Don't say like that. Poor Holly going, things will get better . It might you will they get better ? No will it take a long time? No . But thanks for writing again and we hope some of that advice has helped you through it all. Remember if you want your dilemma answered by myself, Maria and the Wangers , you just email us. It is wanging on at listen.co. UK . We'd love to hear from you. We would, Graham. That's also where it sends your am I weirds. Maria, do we have want to wrap up the show today? Yes , we do, Graham. Today's Am I Weird comes from a wanger who wishes to remain anonymous. Let's find out why. Ooh . Hey Graham and Maria . I went to stay with a friend last summer and her wife had the most beautif ul bar of soap in her guest bathroom . So I took it home . It was in a bathroom that I know for a fact they barely use , so I figured she'd never notice . Reading this back, I think that perhaps it was weird and illegal . Obviously, that is anonymous. Now what you're saying is stealing, really, you what you did and reading it back. And the very fact anonymous that you've written to us makes me realize that you know what you did was wrong. It was You said that wrong? Soap no. She'll have used it they will have used the soap . I always feel communal soap is an odd thing. But it's not to put in your pocket. What? I'm gonna go into the guest room and kind of go, oh, that soap's being used. No No, I don't know what person's been here before me. I don't know where they put that bar of soap. When this person goes to the bathroom that is rarely used, they go, Oh, I'll just pop in that bathroom because it's still in smelly in the other one. Then they go, Bur m I' sure I put a bar of soap here. I think beautiful soap. Yeah, beautiful soap indeed. What you do anonymous is you buy that soap and you send it. Oh don't it's weir wedird. That is . Why is that weird? You stole some soap and now you're returning to steal soap. It was soap that left out for her to use, and she's continued to use it. Now she's left the house. If I came to your house and I thought, Oh, I love if you put now, here's my thing. If you took , you know, a dispenser, if there was a dispenser of hand soap from somewhere nice , and I went back into the dra afterwer you and it g wasone gone. I'd go Jesus Christ that Maria could she leave nothing . But if it was a wet , greasy, kind of claggy bar of soap on the sink, I'd go, I'm glad she took that because I didn't want to touch it. No, I think you're spitting hairs here about a bar of soap or a dispenser of soap. I mean, you know, bar take, dispenser no. No, don't take anything that isn't yours. But it was given to her. What do you mean it was given to her? Because it was in the guest bathroom she was the guest. Not to take home. What about the next guest? What are they going to go? It would go in the bin. It would go in the bin. It wasn't a sliver of soap, but you not gonna' lereave , you're not gonna leave soap that's been used just claggy on the sink for the next gift. Not saying claggy for a star . But it's just, you know, that thing that happens to the bottom of soap. I know when it's on the let's just say this was a relative ly new bar of soap. It's a rarely used bathroom. It hadn't got claggy yet. Because then it'll dry out and crack and no one wants that either. You did that woman a favor. What I'm hearing here is you are again bars of soap . I don't like dispenser. I don't like bars of soap. I'm glad she took it. Can we put that to one side here and still admit that what she did was wrong? Who this wrong? She wrote to us because she knows it's wrong. Buy a bar of that lovely soap and say, I'm really sorry. I took the just owner. Own it. I took it because it was so lovely and I wanted to knew I wouldn't remember, but I'm just replacing it. There 's done, done, or done. Do that if you like. I guess the thing she actually wanted to know was, is she weird? Well , she's clearly weird for not having a dispenser and going for claggy soap baths . It's that you want actually, you are weird for wanting soap. There I've said it. I don't think you're weird. I think you've got kleptomaniac tendencies that need to be reined in. Yeah. Because you know, yesterday a bar of soap, tomorrow, a bottle of red wine. The next day a sofa. Next day a sofa. I loved the sofa so much. I took it to the it's a rarely used living room. If you think they'll notice then somebody's dog . And then I squat at their house .
