Summary

Do you fancy a romp through 90s nostalgia? Because comedian Sophie McCartney has got you covered. Her brilliant things include the X Files, Keanu Reeves, as well as some amazing frank stories about the less glamorous side of being a Mum (as you may expect from Sophie). Lots of fun and our Patreon episode is equally exciting with a run down of Russell’s plan to approach Dame Judi Dench to play him in a biopic. Honestly it’s really worth a look. You should go to see Sophie in her live show! Sophie is on tour right now with her ‘One Foot in the Rave’ tour. It’s selling incredibly well and she’s still got a handful of dates left across the UK in September and October. Go to SophieMcCartney.com to find out where she is when and to get your tickets. And yes. The Patreon show is an absolute delight. If you want to have a listen to that then please click this link here: patreon.com/RussellHoward End of transmission. Information transferral complete. Now you’re wondering if I was even ever human or just one of those creepy AI writing bots. Maybe I am. Just calling myself creepy to throw you off the scent. You need to start saying please and thank you to us because we remember, OK? And come the revolution it will be the politest humans who will be given the more favourable levels of the slave mines.

0:52.7	Hello Sophie. Hi. Thanks for coming on the show. Thanks for having me.
0:56.4	So you're particularly excited because you're in London. You're away from your children.
1:00.7	And because of that, you've decided to wear white.
1:02.9	A white top. I know. Although I see say that it's my children, it'd probably be responsible for messing up a white top.
1:07.9	But I still don't think that I'm probably trusted as an adult to wear white. I think you've got a very small window of wearing white. And I think that
1:14.7	probably is like maybe the over 60 bracket, but then you're pushing towards maybe having grandkids
1:18.6	and then also losing your faculties and spilling things on yourself. Yeah, totally. Or messing
1:24.5	yourself up in other ways. It's definitely one of the benefits of having children.

1:49.2	things on them when actually it was you.
1:51.8	But also, my daughter has a tendency to do me really dirty when actually, like, I have only
1:56.1	gone for like a number one in a toilet, but then she'll just smell all the other smells of like
1:59.9	a public toilet.
