What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We should do a wanking podcast. We should. Me and you, and we invite people around to tell us where have they wanked. Yes. Can you guess?
Would we have one of those UV cameras so you can see, like, kind of like evidence and stuff afterwards?
No, you've gone too far. Oh, look who we've got on board. It's Catlin Moran. How are you?
I am so good. I'm intent on charming this dog.
The dog doesn't like celebrities.
So I'll be fine. You...
Come on.
My level of fame will keep you very, very safe.
I was up in Scotland and she actually bit a bagpiper on the scorn. And I'm not testing out material for my stand-up tour. That genuinely did happen. And he was like, get off, get off. I think she might have thought it was a puppy.
Well, if I saw someone holding a bagpipe and making the bagpipe sound, I presume it was an animal that was dying and needed to be put out of its misery. And I, as a dog, would simply go and take it in my jaws and shake it till it died. Yeah, yeah. What if it was a squirrel? Yeah. She was just being kind. Go over the Rainbow Bridge. Over the Rainbow Bridge, bagpipes. Go towards the light.
Don't. Oh, I've had such a weekend. Go on, tell me. You look a little flustered. I'm flustered, but then that's driving through London on a plane. Yeah. I went to see Harry Styles. God, he's got great legs. They're so smooth. I'm going to say he's got better legs than Angela Rippon. How near... There, I've said it.
How near were you to the stage? Because I went to the Ivan Novella Awards a couple of weeks ago and I was at the table right at the front. I was like 10 feet away from him. He gave a very funny speech. He was giving Radiohead the Lifetime Achievement Award. And he gave a brilliant speech where he was going, they're very important to me. I listened to Radiohead as I was losing my virginity. I listened to Radiohead in the first five seconds as I was losing my virginity. And I laughed really loudly, but empathetically and cleverly in such a way that you would hear my laugh above everybody else's and think she's got to be my friend. Like, I think everyone thinks that if they met Harry Styles, he would be their friend, right?
Yeah, yeah. He's super sweet. He came on Chatty Man. And then I remember being at Nick Grimshaw's Christmas parties. He always has these lovely parties. And I got a tap on the shoulder to turn around and it was Harry. And I thought, how lovely, because he is stratospheric. He doesn't need to speak to the likes of me. But he was so sweet. And he's such a... And everyone was saying about the stage, but I thought it was good the way he was running around. Everyone got a good view.
I think you are another person that everybody thinks they would be your friend when they meet you. So I think he was like, you could bond over that. He would go up to you and go... I'm quite a bitch. Yeah, but national treasure bitch. That's built in. That's what we like. That's what we're going for. I also like Harry Styles. I think he's the biggest advert for you. You know there's all these kind of like... wild conspiracy theories and propaganda on the internet at the moment that London is just falling to bits and it's a war zone and it's not safe and stuff. All you need to do is look at Harry Styles' Instagram to realise that London is safe. He's riding around on line bikes, he's swimming in the men's ponds, he ran to his gig at Wembley, he jogged there...
I know that two hours.
How did Caitlin Moran describe her weekend with Harry Styles and Take That?
He wrote that and then ran around that stage. He's superhuman. And he sounds good. He sounded good.
Well, he's also, he was curating the Meltdown Festival and he went on and sang Bridge Over Troubled Waters, which any singer will tell you is a really hard song to do. You go over two octaves. There's a huge 15-paced note at the end of it. And he absolutely slammed it. You can't wheel Art Garfunkel out for the Irish. No, not anymore. Not anymore. No, no. Art's retired. So Harry can do it all.
And then on Saturday, guess what? I went from Harry to Gary when I saw Take That. Oh, they were so good. Oh, with the big elephant. The big elephant.
