Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Tired and Tested Podcast with me, Sophie McCartney. Very chill, very relaxed, very zen on the school holidays. Lucy with the Fringe. How are you doing, babes? I'm sorry. Actually, at summer school holidays, there was like the summer school holidays. There's still so far for you to go. You're currently in like still like a half term spreading into Easter holidays vibe. You haven't got past the two week point yet.

there's still four fucking weeks left and I didn't saw any sort of sort of child care beyond i've used my child care in the first two weeks yeah so by the september comes i'm gonna be literally i'm gonna be just swaying aren't i you you are did you book it did you book into any clubs i think because you've got to do the fastest finger first Yeah, this week. I only got them in today and yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's wild, isn't it? So yeah, I am.

already I'm just counting down I feel like it's it's just the longest the longest summer holiday already and it's only on the second week um you feel like you're wishing wishing you sort of your time away with no right this really irritates me i see this all the time on instagram they're like you've only got 18 summers left What the fuck is going to happen to them when they hit ATE? I know my kids are going to be strong.

38 and still trying to come on holidays with me. What? Mum only goes to five-star hotels. Fuck that shit. We're not going to go to a two-star dive in Baloraki for our after A-level celebrations. Mum's going to take us to Thailand. You're hoping. Well, this is my plan. I'm going to continue to take them on good holidays just so they don't go on shitty holidays for teenagers that will kill them.

So, yeah, I've not got 18 summers left with my kids. I've probably got every summer until I die left with my kids. So, like, you are allowed to just be, like, this is shit. One of my friends, one of my really good friends, right, she's a teacher and she's like, we're just not designed to spend this much time with our children. It's not natural. It's not natural.

of things. And I feel worse for her because she has to spend all her time with other people's children. And then she meets where he's on holiday. And then has to look after. her own children and spend all their own kids. There's just never any bloody relief from it, is there? So teachers, I know people are like, I want teachers on their holidays, but if you were a teacher with children...

I imagine school holidays is actually even worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you can go into school and you can be mean to other people's children. Yeah. My parents sit up and sit down.

Your mum was a teacher. Both my parents were teachers. I don't know if they were... were taking the piss a bit because they used to say that in the school holidays we'd go and have like our little summer holiday abroad and then they were like when they got back they were straight into planning so they were always going into school and planning I don't know if they were just going and putting their feet up actually She's sitting on a tiny chair.

Tell you what, with my mum though, I don't remember. We would do that. We would go away. We'd have two weeks in August where we'd go away on holiday. And we would only go away... like once a once a year and that was we were lucky i don't think we went on abroad holidays but it wasn't my mom got into teaching a bit late so it wasn't until she got into teaching that we then

because obviously they had enough money that we could go away and have abroad holidays. So yeah, I wasn't, I was probably like 10, 11 by the time we went on our first like plane holiday. What's a plane holiday?

I remember some god-awful car journeys to France, actually, before the days of them being able to afford a plane when my sister projectile vomiting because she got horrendous car sickness. And we'd have all these weird things. Sorry, I digress. We'd have all these weird things in the car to try and stop myself.

from being sick so my dad would had invested in these weird things that hang down right oh does anybody else remember these they it was something to do with the static or friction these like weird bits of rubber that would trail off the back of the car just like that would potentially

off of being sick. I'm sorry, what? Two bits of rubber that you would put on the back of your car to help stabilise it. Let's just think about this. No, it wasn't. It was something to do with the fridge. I'll have to Google. Well, I will Google. to you on this and then the other thing which I don't know was an actual do we think maybe that might have been a placebo or it was the 90s and like we didn't know science

Or it was just the John McCartney logic of science, potentially. Because the other thing that we'd make her do was sit on a stack of magazines. I remember we used to end of the 90s. There was no way to have car seats.

shoved on a couple of copies of Good Housekeeping right? I think about car sickness I think about like my dad's from Ireland so we used to drive across and get the ferry and we we live in the northeast so we would have to drive all the way across and go through all these windy roads and I vividly remember one year we did the big drive and I'd got smash hits and it had scratch and sniff

It had a scratch and sniff thing. I just remember. I was like, scratch, scratch, scratch. And then after about 25 minutes, bear in mind, it's like a good six hour journey. After about 25 minutes, I was like.

I can still smell the... gross scratch and sniff that smelled nothing like it was meant to the dog the dog um on on the basis of scratch and sniff that's why i just disappeared out of shot um the dog has got one of my because i am coffee snob so when i travel if i can't if i don't trust the place to have good coffee and steve got me oh my god just jumped in the dark with a hand grenade i was trying to save my children Yeah, it's like Colombian.

Yeah, these are good though, actually. I know. You open up the tarp and then you pour your water in. That's like proper nice fancy ground coffee. Pour your water in. Oh, stop. Like a little kettle. And that fills up and then you undo your spout and then you tip me out. You know, you can just get a coffee bag.

like a tea bag with coffee in it and you get you get a few so you can put the lid back on and leave it to brew a bit longer and nice nice what's what's the brand what's the brand tried and tested by tied and tested available now where did you get those from it's called the brew company very nice yeah the dog was just about to remember what we were talking about before we started

Based on the fact you can't remember what you were just talking about, there's something I've been holding off asking you. You did an online ADHD test, didn't you? And I'm gagging for you to tell me what this test, what you had to do and what the results. Come on, hit me. Okay, so I always get targeted by all these things because we all know I have.

Self-diagnosed, undiagnosed ADHD. So let's get the certificate, yeah? We do need to get the certificate. I did say to Steve the other day, I went, I think I actually need to go and get a proper test. And he was like, you don't need to get the fucking test. We all know you've got it. But I was like, Steve, if I can get the test, I was like, I can medicate myself. And he was like, what?

You don't need to medicate yourself. I was like, no, I was like, I do. I was like, just for certain times of the year, I was like, when I'm writing, when I'm book writing, if I could medicate myself to keep my brain to just... do the thing it's meant to do but and then he was dead against it and then he went wait he went if you take the medicine he went does that mean you're not going to be a messy bitch I was like yeah I think so and he was like

take the test also you just need to stock up on cbd right that's meant to help you focus but the problem is right so i think this is why you get a lot of people who are in the creative world, who have ADHD or who are neurodiverse because the brain is just wired differently. And that is actually what allows people.

to have those mad and great and creative thoughts. Whereas if you have a non-neurojournalist, you're a bit more just straight down the line. If he reads anything that I have wrote or he listens to my jokes, he's just like, I don't understand where your brain... comes from to get there. And I'm like, I know! It's years of a nuttle-loading the dishwasher! Makes me special! But he could never. And I think that's different. So my worry would be, actually, if I did, if it did.

You'd tone you down. We don't want to dull you down. You'd be a right boring bitch. I wouldn't, wouldn't I? I'd just put in the washing in and remember to take it out the machine. With a really tidy house? Yeah, it's all good. I didn't know fuck money. Because I'm dull as fuck. It's not smell like wet dish rag. I'm in the machine for six years. Also, can I just say half of my problem? You said to me the other day, you went, oh.

You were like, Steve left my t-shirt in the washing machine too long and it was you, wasn't it? It was you. It wasn't because I don't... generally don't do the washing because I forget that it's next. I'm not trusted with it, so it was Steve. Half my problem, right, with the washing machines, though, is Steve, and this is Steve's fault. Those things in life are Steve's fault, which I think might also be an ADHD, just an ability to blame other people for your own fault.

He insisted on having our washing machine downstairs in our cellar. So he can't hear it because it's downstairs. It's like for me, if I don't walk past it, I don't see it. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And I'm a child and I don't go into our cellar because that's where the gremlins live. Yeah. The gremlins and the goats and the weird thing from Home Alone that lives in like the boiler. So I don't go into our cellar. Yeah, I don't go into our cellar.

anyway right so i did the adhd test yes uh and it was just waiting i was just waiting for you to say I can't remember what we're talking about. It must be so annoying for people listening to this podcast. I'm going to start off on one tangent, go in a different direction. They will all know what I was talking about because they wait and do it. What's the end of the story?

Sorry, Sophie, I have no fucking idea. Honestly, whilst they're unloading their dishwasher. Oh, they are. You're a typical people unloading their dishwasher. Oh, gosh, go on. So ADHD. ADHD. So, but I think I've said this for eight times. I was targeted by an app, right?

It's called Inflow. Right. And it apparently is an app to manage your ADHD if you have ADHD. So you go through all these questions. It's like, have you been formally diagnosed with ADHD? No. Do you suspect that you might have it? Yes.

through you go through and then you you give all these answers uh I'm just gonna find my results I sent them to you didn't I can you tell me what the process was first it's just how long how long what was was it like a was it like a boxes yeah on a scale of one to ten how do you view this opinion um so okay you show many adhd related Okay, so they score it on low. is zero to 29%. Moderate is 30 to 59%. High is 60 to 79%. And very high is 80 to 100%.

What do you think, Luz? Oh, God. I'm going to say you're somewhere high 80s. I'm 92% ADHD. You've got a star DHT, haven't you? It's the best I've ever performed in a test in my entire life. I'm going to send it to my mum and dad and they can finally build something on the wall. Next to your sister's achievements. I know. There's Sophie, the A-star in ADHD. Okay, right. Then it goes on to say.

This is how ADHD traits may be impacting your life. Oh God, I can tell you what these are going to say because they impact my life. From naught to 10, okay, with naught being nothing to 10 being very high impact. What do you think my score for productivity is? Bear in mind, zero is fine. 10 is a very high impact that ADHD might be impacting my life. So the interesting thing about productivity is it's a real stress.

to get the product, but you will always deliver the product at the end. So I'm going to say maybe like, I mean, the process is stressful for everyone. Like a seven. No, 10. In fact, it kind of looks like it's creeping above 10. It only goes as high as 10, but I think mine's more like a 10.3, if I'm being honest. You're exceeding. You're exceeding expectations.

Make sure they get out of the certificate. Okay, so that's a 10. Next category is how ADHD might be affecting my relationships. So again, zero being it's not affecting. Yeah. And being very high impact. What sort of questions was it around your relationship? Unloading the dishwasher. How many times does your husband lose his shit? I mean, I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to go in high then. I'm going to say a nine.

Oh, it's an 8.5. It's still very high. It falls in the very high bracket. We'd have actually marked you higher on that one. I think you must have done the test wrong. I think I did. You obviously missed the question because I wasn't concentrating. Come on. Okay. And then for my mental health, my overall mental health, how does my ADHD? apparently affect my brain.

So is this, can you give me some sort of context? But like, in what sense? Like, from you being frustrated? Like, feelings of negativity, how people perceive me. Like, what do you think? okay let's go let's go eight it was a nine Okay. So from this, I was like, shit, I need to sign up to this app. Okay. So I like, this is going to be able to manage my life for me. You know, I can, I can function as a normal human being with this app. And then I went on.

And then I realised it was £50 a month to manage my ADHD. And then I was like, because of my potential ADHD, I'm going to forget to cancel this. do you know what i feel like steve and i should just go half as because fuck me it's worth 50 quid right then i went on and so i went on right i did right i'm gonna do the seven day free trial and i've said i have actually cancelled it

The reminder was yesterday. But how you manage the ADHD was... like through reading stuff and questionnaires and writing stuff and I was like what the fuck I don't know It's like my brain, my brain doesn't have time for this shit. It's like, what? No. So not like strap you down to a chair. Don't let you leave until you've written this.

Well. Just flicked off and started scrolling on Instagram instead. So, yeah, I mean, if it works for some people, it works for some people. But, yeah, that's Inflow, guys. This week's episode of the podcast.

Hey, talking about the mental health and about how things negatively impact operate. I've had the clangor. This is, yeah, go on, what happened? Okay, so I did a video, did a reel the other day. And right, when I, sometimes when I plan my internet content, it's like, like, it's fine. Or it doesn't always.

set the world on fire because to, you know, be successful in the world of the algorithm nowadays, you have to pump a video out every fucking day. And some of us have dishwashers to not unload. Okay.

Can't be fucking deal. I've got three kids writing books and doing tours. I don't always have the time to think of grade A. star quality content also can I just say um can I just remind you that maybe like a week ago was it you were like I'm gonna get a reel out every single day in the summer holidays I was like Sophie

Really want to up my content game. Sophie, right. Let's just think about this. This is so you though. Is this an ADHD thing? You're like, do you know what? I'm going to do all of this. And then you'll just sit back and be like, oh. oh, Instagram. I'm just going to look at it instead of creating a squirrel on a trampoline. Yeah, I know. My intention is always so good. But anyway, but this was on one of the days. I think I had done three. It was day one. Was it day one?

what a video that I chose to do on my one day. But anyway, I was cooking the kids tea and my kids are an odd anomaly. They love a bit of cucumber, but whenever I get the cucumber out of the fridge and then... So the setup of our kitchen island is that the island, the kids sit on the bar stores. There's a little sink in the middle on the other side. Phoebe.

And so I got the cucumber out the fridge and I'm washing it in the little sink directly in front of the kids. And I'm realizing to myself, actually. Very controversial. Well, yeah, we'll come back. There were so many controversial things about this video. It's unreal. So I've taken the little plastic sheet off the go.

I've rolled down and I'm like, oh my God, this is so inappropriate. And then because I am of the normal population who wash their fruit and vegetables. Let me continue. Don't interrupt. I've washed my cucumber under the sink, but my, I'm just using this iconic London prep set glow. It's the closest thing to me as the cucumber. Hang on though. Give it a shake. How I would wash a cucumber, actually, would be to rub off the germs on it. Give it a handjob. Basically giving it a handy.

And then when I finish, I shake it off like this. So I was like, oh my God, that's so inappropriate. So I just did a little silly video. of me washing a cucumber and like with a caption of like when your kids want cucumber for tea but you've got to wash it and the joke behind the video is just how awkward it is it looks it looks like you're doing something else and as a parent in your mind you're like oh that's uncomfortable right yeah it's out on the internet the vast majority of normal people

get the joke okay they're like oh my god I always think this is what I'm watching oh my god oh my god hilarious anyway um so then it starts to build pace And of all the things that I probably would have thought out of my stuff would go viral, probably wasn't me wanking a cucumber, if I'm being honest. But hey-ho, the internet is a- Giving the people what they want. It's a glorious place. So people, so, okay. So it then goes from people being like, oh.

lols I think this to people being like wait what why are you washing a cucumber right so this is this oh I think I'd also asked what do you because I'd said the kids want the cucumber for tea Do you call it tea or dinner? So I actually thought the kickoff was going to be whether people were calling it tea or dinner. That wasn't the kickoff. That was hardly anybody noticed that at all. It was people...

being horrified about the fact that they've never washed a cucumber. Should they be washing cucumbers? And then all the people jumping in with the reasons as to why. So there's this like war of the cucumbers that are happening on this video, okay? So anyway, I've just left it, just left it.

gone on a few days it's ranking up the millions of views I'm like right okay brilliant yeah okay fine fair enough I should just wank off various fruit and vegetables now to the end of time for the algorithm apparently that is what meta loves um and then I start seeing some weird comments that are starting to come through being like oh my god you are disgusting oh my god you're sick in the head like oh

what the fuck and then I've gone on and there's now because this is the problem when a video goes viral is that it obviously pushes it outside of your normal demographic so it's gone out to people who i guess maybe you haven't clicked on my profile to see that i do comedy anyway they have for some fucking reason come to the conclusion in their mind that them washing the cucumber because I have had the cucumber inside of my vagina and

I've had a fun time, fun time, Sophie, with the cucumber. And I'm now having to wash my juices of the cucumber before I feed it to my children. And people are like, oh my God, you need therapy. I'm like, I, I, I need therapy. I mean, you do. Yes, you do. So I was like, I've sat on this, not the cucumber for a few days.

oh my goodness I was like no just like normal rational people won't think this normal rational people won't think this but it's getting kicked out because like incels are us commenting on it and it's pushing it out to more incels are us and more and more and more and then I was like no So I was like, right, I'm just going to turn the comments off. I'm just going to turn them off and I'm going to forget about it. That lasted for about three seconds before my brain went, no, just get rid of it.

You can't drop your children at school in September and the teachers think... You were messaging me going, babe, the comments. Oh my God, babe. I can't have my teacher's kids seeing this stuff. My teacher's not their kids. Just got up there, my kid's teacher, seeing this and going.

Oh yeah, maybe that, maybe she has put a cucumber inside of her vagina and is washing it off before feeding it to her children. Oh my God. I haven't deleted it. I've archived it. So a bit of a later date if I want to bring it back. I had like 7 million. views on it or something. Probably one of my best performing videos in another while. Thanks. Maybe whack it on TikTok and see what it does there. 10 times worse on TikTok.

Oh, my God. But I think the problems come from the fact, and this is what I've boiled it down to, the people who haven't got the joke is because actually there are so many people who do not wash cucumbers that their first train of thought... wasn't oh she's washing the cucumber it was the cucumber must have been somewhere awful in order for it to have been washed to be washed if you look at a cucumber right in a plastic wrap it will say on it

wash before use as most vegetables have written on it yes so the reason I don't because I'm in the club don't wash um is because the plastic wrappers on it so i what is the point of a plastic wrapper right like Bad for the environment, but my thought would be at least it's kind of keeping the buggy bugs out. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, no. What is the purpose of a plastic wrapper on a cucumber then? It's just protective because they bruise and stuff.

So do peppers, and my peppers are loose. Yeah, but they don't wash the cucumber first. So a bag of salad... it's within a bag but it will say on the salad ready washed for use if you buy like a three pack of peppers that hasn't been washed if you buy a bag of carrots that hasn't been washed if you buy if i buy i buy my loose veg because i like to go for the stuff that's not got bags i just get loose veg right so that delivers me on it because i've been doing my job

But why do they put this wrap over a cucumber, but they don't put it over, I don't know, like I say, like a pepper or tomatoes? They're easily bruised. So that would make me think that the reason is because it's... Keeping it clean. One of life's many mysteries, but it does say cucumber. And I was having people screenshot their cucumbers to me and send them saying wash before you. Oh my God. Wow.

breaking the internet no I was like wow this is not the drama that I expected on like a Thursday do you think it's it do you think it's because cucumber like cucumber producers are actually super kinky and they're like well we'll save them having to put on a condom maybe maybe they're just saving everyone a job

Potentially. But there was an E. coli outbreak related to German cucumbers in 2011, not the deep dive. Just wash your fruit and veg, peeps, okay? If you're going to cook it, then you don't need to. But if you're just going to have it and it doesn't say... it's rewashed on it just just wank it off over the sink and be done with it okay anyway but don't post it on instagram don't post it on instagram for the long time don't post it on instagram i think my next tour

is just, it's going to be called like cucumber and I'm just going to hold the cucumber. We'll be like, oh, there's that fucking filthy, dirty bitch. Let's go see what she does. Yeah, I want the ticket sales on that. Vroom. Like the bonnie blue. This is what you said, though, when you were spiralling, your messages when you were spiralling. You're like, I don't want people to think I'm like, like. Bonnie Blue. Bonnie Green. Bonnie Green.

it was I mean to be fair it was it was it was um it was it was an interesting interesting sort of experiment wasn't it to as to what as to what works what doesn't work you know lesson learned I I've been I've been doing the internet for a very long time and to this day

It still blows my mind. It was a shocker. What? So speaking of internet reels, my friend Alex sent me this morning. And I was like, I really want to try this with Sophie. Okay. So basically there's this, there's this reel going around and I think she must be an actress, right? And what it is, it's basically her saying the same phrase in various different accents. Well, we all know brilliant as an accent. so we're gonna do it okay and i'm gonna yoga right so the phrase is yeah

What a lovely chat this week. Lucy, you all right there? Just a bit sweaty. Sweaty, yeah, sweaty. Sweaty scabies pits. Oh, stop it. Do you have one your pits? Do you have one your pits? I'm not showing everyone my hair. Get your pits out. I've got really sore armpits, guys. And Sophie thinks it's scabies. She got on the show.

We haven't thought about this. Just quickly, we wrap up. She's sending me a video of when she went to Oasis. She's like, I've woken up to this, like Lucy's pissed messages. Oh my God, it was the best though. It was the... it was biblical oh my god I can't I can't even can we just take a minute though to talk about

the man's shoulders that you yeah right so so when we got in front standing I was like right this is we're gonna have to just do we're gonna drink the lager that I don't drink we're gonna like get down front standing Yeah, I'm going to get them.

and I was like I want to get on someone's shoulders because that's what they used to do back in the 90s so anyway we got in there and then my loz she was like straight up just walking up to every man be like can I go on your shoulders and they'd be like no people like can I go on your shoulders

She was just going around going, can you go on your shoulders? So then she got up on someone's shoulders. And then I got up on someone's shoulders. So we got a video of each other going up on the shoulders. But then I realized I accidentally deleted.

the video I'd taken of Lars on the shoulders, right? So then I was like, oh, I've deleted the video about my sex. She was like, shit, I'm going to have to go and ask him again. So anyway, she goes over and she's like, I'm going to go back on your shoulders. And he was like, no. Oh my god.

she just kept asking him because of you no thank you but she kept just going back are you sure are you sure and then in the end she somehow managed to get back on her shoulders again so i could get a quick video but yes you then spent me into a spiral because you what did you say i was like

living my best life. Like, look at me. Like some random person was like, yeah, fuck it. Get on my shoulders. It was the man's face though. It was the man. I think, can we show the man's face on this video? He had a hat on. Oh, hang on. Can we also talk about Pep Guardiola? Oh my God. Yes. So when I was, when we were at the gig, this was so funny. So anybody who's been to an Oasis gig.

if you're in the cool crew like me so at the start before they come on obviously the the crew is getting the stage set up and all this and there's just this like cardboard cutout of how do you say his name Pep Guardiola that's the one and I was like seeing a lot I was like oh Sophie's met Pep before blah blah blah so then I got a video

I love this card boss in my backstory because Steve, he was Steve's boss when Steve was at Man City and I was just a constant embarrassment whenever I was allowed in the same room as him. yeah but I um so I so I got this video and I was like Soph's gonna love this look who's here so I sent the video to Sophie and Sophie's response was like oh is that pep? And she went, oh, gives me the ick though. Look at him just standing there all creepy. It's a cardboard cutout.

To be fair, the quality of your video was very low and I couldn't see. I was like, oh, he's just, he's giving me the ick standing there in his cardigan, just like not knowing what to do with himself. He looks like an old person. It's so funny. It was so funny. I've got the video. Hold it up. Hold it up. Right. What a great time. We're all having a great time. Like his face. He's just done. Is he all right? Is he all right? And he's like, yeah.
