And it's not true. You say that you're a butt guy in the show. You say you're not a ball guy. And it's a hilarious bit.

bit and a hilarious story that you share and you know what we're not going to talk about it i'm going to tell people that if they want to hear you're not a ball guy story they need to go watch oh they're special on youtube now and it is worth it it is fucking hilarious um and a little maybe a little traumatizing what you're sharing there.

That's Bishop's new special of all people out now for free on YouTube. He co-hosts the podcast burner phone with his wife, Hannah burner, who wants a kid, which I guessing comes up a lot on the show you host with your wife.

Well, great. Thank you, Des, so much. I really loved your special. You're hysterical. And don't be self-conscious about it being very heteronormative. We want comedy clubs to be safe spaces for heterosexual people too. Thanks. Thanks so much. And thanks for having me. More of my conversation with comedian Des Bishop is on the Magnum.

So you're literally contemplating breaking up with your girlfriend of 10 years and to avoid hurting her feelings by being direct about the fact that her personal hygiene habits are slipping for some reason. Do you see how crazy that sounds? Don't you think if you were her, it would hurt more for the woman that you've lived with for 10 years, who loves you, who thinks you're lovely?

To break up with you? To leave you? To avoid having an awkward, honest conversation that might have hurt your feelings? Look, you've tried gentle suggestions. You've tried light inquiries. You've tried playing clue. Professor Plum in the conservatory with the tooth floss. You gotta stop. You gotta be direct. This is why...

As people age, people in long-term relationships, people in marriages tend to live longer and remain healthier over time than single people because there is someone there to say, hey, stop complaining about X and go to the fucking doctor already.

There's also someone there when it comes to personal hygiene practices to say, hey, I have noticed you have stopped flossing, stopped brushing your teeth regularly, and this doesn't just impact you. And if you were single, it wouldn't matter, but like your breath stinks and you got to go floss and brush your teeth. We will go do that together.

And stop with the gentle suggestions about maybe we could possibly think about one day before we get into bed, taking a shower together, perhaps. Doesn't that sound like fun? And say to her. You stink. I've said that to my husband and he hasn't left me. And my husband has said the same thing to me.

Sometimes we can't smell ourselves and we need someone to look at us and say, oh my God, you need to go brush your teeth. And that person isn't going to be a coworker. It's not going to be your employer. Ideally, it's not going to be a neighbor. It's not going to be hopefully somebody on the bus. It's not going to be. a telegram from the president on your 100th birthday, it's got to be who?
