Summary

Louise and Ryan head to UK Parliament to back the call for a maternity commissioner, with Louise sharing why this fight is so deeply personal. She opens up about her own experience of giving birth and the stark reality that care for women in the UK is still falling short, and why change shouldn’t have to come at the cost of tragedy.


Then it pivots. A weekend away sparks a story no one saw coming, with unexpected glimpse into Ryan’s past as butler in the buff 👀. There’s also a chat about The Fury’s and how their approach to parenting might hold up if Leo married young, or started to swear at them. 


And finally, a simple question: should you share your location with your partner? Ryan’s a hard no. Louise couldn’t disagree more….

I've told you that you look like a lady from Lain-Hith Tramp today. Thank you. My favourite character. I think we should revisit that movie. There's a few movies I want to revisit this weekend. Anyway, why don't you tell me about your raucous hendoo? You came back at 2 a.m. I did actually. Lit. I wasn't lit. I'm drunk. Imagine like, now that was the announcement. That would be a bit savage. God, I'm so tired. I'll be honest. I haven't slept six nights. Where are those red glasses that we have? I feel like Louise needs to red glasses. Yeah, I do. I turned up with like some brown tinted specs this morning, looking like Anastasia.

Have you ever been on a hen d with cox straws? Yeah, like lots. With like, I've never, I'm yet to see a stripper. Disappointing. We'll save that vase. There was like a napkin that said like same penis forever. I've been a butler in the buff before to an event. You've been one. What? Never told you that before. What? Me and my best mate at the time, Tim, who was absolutely shredded with a massive dick. What does that have to do with the story? Because we're talking about strippers and I was like, oh my God, I just remembered I used to. I actually have done hen parties where I've got an apron on just an apron. Wait, with your butt cheeks out. I got women like squeezing my butt cheek whilst I've got a tray of drinks. Right. How are you? Do you know what's even funny about this? How much did you get paid? The BBC Weather Girl for the Welsh TV channel was her hendoo. And she basically saw us in Abercrombie, me and Tim, she's like, I want you too. Why do I not know the story? We were young. We were like, fuck yeah, we'll do it. Give us the apron. What did you charge for that kind of service? Like 50 quid an hour or something? And how long were you there for? I remember the drive was quite far from like Cardiff to somewhere in the countryside.

2:03.6

I don't think... or something. What, and how long were you there for? I remember the drive was quite far, from like Cardiff to somewhere in the countryside.
