Standard issue for all women. Hello and welcome to episode 273 of the standard issue pod scene.

I'm Mickey Nunan and right now, I wish I had a tail. Tell me more. Well, one, like,

tails are amazing. Do you not wish you had a tail? And if so, what tail would you have?

I will probably have foxes tail because they are quite cold. I saw a lot of squirrels this weekend

and they do that shaky, shaky thing with their tail. I can imagine you being crossed with someone

and just letting them know by shaking your tail and barking. Jen, what tail would you have?

Funnily enough, we were talking about tails yesterday. I don't want this tail, but

Lyra was asking me about horses poo and I said, the thing is Lyra horses lift up their tails to poo.

Yeah, but you don't want that tail? No, I don't really want that tail, although I suppose it's

practical, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. I'd have a prehensile tail, like a monkey tail, so it was like having

an extra pair of hands, you know, good hang on stuff and I feel like it would be useful. Or

a lizard's tail so that if someone got hold of you, you could, you know, with work in the comedy

industry, it would be hard for you to be able to escape. That's just in that tail, so yeah.
