What does 'Resting B**ch Face' mean and how does it affect social interactions?
I've seen your hairy arse and my jockstrap messy. I've got pubes in my mesh and I know it's come from you. If you went on that show, there was a level of self-loathing that was off the charts. You know, I want you to turn me into somebody else.
I have a dilemma I hope you can help me with.
Have you listened to this podcast? Greetings, wangers, and welcome to this bank holiday edition of So So Advice, dished out by myself, Graham Norton, and that lady there, Maria McCurlin. I am Maria McCurlin. Indeed, this is correct.
How can you tactfully address your mother-in-law's ironing of your mesh underwear?
Because our listeners are so international, many people wouldn't know what a bank holiday is. Do you? It means you don't have to go to work. Well, I don't understand what they are anymore. Because it used to be the banks were shut. Yeah. That's literally what it was. Well, they are shut. Are they? Yeah.
On a bank holiday. Who goes to the bank?
What are the implications of office affairs and how should they be handled?
Do you see? There's a clue. Who goes to the bank?
There's a clue in the title. No, but like the bank could be shut every day. Nobody knows. Nobody has a bank anymore anyway because they're all closed all the time. Yeah. We have to do it all online.
It's like a year-long bank holiday. And online, the bank is open.
Yeah, online. They don't have a bank holiday. Do you know what I've been doing this week?
What humorous dilemmas arise from workplace relationships?
I've no idea. Trying to open a bank.
Yes, exactly. I've been trying to stop doing resting bitch face.
Well, do you have resting bitch face?
Well, I saw myself in something. I don't normally look at myself in things, but I did see myself in something. And when my face is in repose, like this,
Yeah, repose.
Interesting bitch face.
How can you maintain boundaries with intrusive family members?
And so now I've been practicing when my face is in repose. You know, when I'm listening, I've been practicing going like this.
That's frightening. Do you remember that film of Anthony Hopkins called Magic? Yes.
What advice is given for dealing with workplace gossip?
Where there was a killer ventriloquist dummy.
Yes.
Yeah, that's what you looked like.
I looked like that ventriloquist dummy. Chucky. Was it Chucky? No, Chucky was another one. But you see, you've got a beard, which is good because it hides any sort of jowlage when your face is not animated. I mean, you know, when your animated face is, it's all fine. But to let it all drop, which it does at a certain age. Unless you're Kris Jenner.
I get people, she looks amazing. I saw her up close. Shut up. No, she really does look good.
How did you see her up close?
Because she was on the show when Kim Kardashian was on. Oh. I went into the dressing room and she was there and she did not look weird. She looked kind of just great for her age.
It's funny because we've got a letter from her for this week's Am I Weird? Which is odd because you're saying something different.
And I'm going, no. No.
I'm going, no, you're not. Because she's 70 something. What age is she? 70. Two?
Three?
How do personal relationships impact professional environments?
I don't know. Maybe.
But she doesn't look... Oh, I can hear the sound of tiny fingers googling.
Maybe she... I mean, she doesn't look weird. I think she does look good.
Up close, she looked much better than I thought she would. Wow. I thought she looked all stretched and weird.
I'm going to book him for a facelift then.
Hers was $100,000.
I know. I won't book him for that one.
$70,000. She's bang on $70,000.
I won't book him for Kris Jenner's one, though. No. I might go to somewhere in Thailand.
Oh, really?
Or... I might go to somewhere in Rye.
What are the best practices for managing workplace dynamics during personal crises?
There's a new place that's just opened. Apparently he used to be a seamstress. He used to make clothes, but now he's doing facelifts.
I can't wait to see the results.
I'm going for lapels on my chin. I think that will hide all future jowlage. Do it, do it. But do you find, going back to my thing, do you find when your face is in repose, do you feel it sort of sagging?
Well, no. What really annoys me is when I'm out with the dog or anything and people go, smile. Oh. And it's like, why? Welcome to the lady world. I would look like a half-wit if I was walking around smiling. It's like, what's that about?
Well, you see, I mean, probably when we were younger, our face in repose didn't look quite so horrifying as it does now. But, I mean, women get that all the time.
