What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I love this already.
What merch suggestions do Graham and Maria discuss?
How have we not had this letter already? I love it. Because people left Twitter and discovered, oh, we can leave nasty comments on Instagram as well. And now LinkedIn is the last refuge of the decent.
You had a different childhood to me.
Oh, I did. It was lovely.
You went to school and everything.
How can you flirt on LinkedIn without crossing boundaries?
Yes. And in the afternoon, I cleaned chimneys. And then I'd go home and read a good book.
I was too busy taking snuff with prostitutes.
Hello and welcome. Somehow you've stumbled upon an episode of Wanging On with Graham and Maria. It's half an hour of dubious advice. That's what you've got. So try and enjoy it. There's Maria now.
And I've got a nice spotty flamenco outfit on. Yes, you do.
Yes, you do. You look very European. European.
Yeah. That's not good, is it?
What should you do if you feel your hairdresser is underperforming?
I used to voice Eurotrash. I know what that means.
You look like you've lived abroad. How are you this week, Graham? I'm all right. But listen, we have a dilemma. Yes, we. We have a dilemma. What is that, Graham? Well, I don't know if you know, but we're going to the Edinburgh Festival. Are we? You know, we're now doing two shows. Are we? There's a mitney, a mitney for the elderly.
How can you navigate the dilemma of changing hairdressers?
What did he say? Which one's the boy? Is he gay? Is she gay? Is that the same woman as before? She looks gay. I'm really looking forward to that.
Oh, an hour? Did they say an hour? Why is everyone laughing? I don't find this funny at all.
But we should be doing all of that in Scottish voice. Yes, we should.
Now, here's the thing.
It has been brought to our attention that if you are a podcaster and you do a live show, you are supposed to have merch. Oh, how exciting. Well, it is. We don't have any merch.
What about if we sell cars in the foyer?
That's a very good idea.
What advice do Graham and Maria offer for approaching romantic interests?
We'll just, whoever's parked outside. We'll sell that car. We'll just sell that car. There you go. We could sign the windscreen in lipstick.
Wanging.
No, like, I think mugs, you can never have too many mugs. These are too expensive.
Well, these have been very popular.
No, no, but these have been handmade.
They have been handmade.
These would be about Β£500 each.
What if we get them from China? Home of the China. Like Donald Trump. And we order something in the region of 14 million and then they'll only cost 80p each.
I mean, yes, the cost per item will be very low. Yeah, yeah.
I know that works. You amortize the cost, you see.
How do Graham and Maria handle listener dilemmas?
Okay, you can never have too many mugs, but you can't have these ones. I must say, there's something about a tote bag. I am now of so many tote bags, it's like the plastic bag problem. But I really can't throw away the tote bags.
Well, you can give them to charity shops.
Can you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And you can say to the charity shop, you know when you buy something in a charity shop, instead of giving them a plastic bag to take away, give them one of these tote bags and then it's advertising to other people whatever it is that's on the tote bag.
But it won't be the charity shop.
No. Okay. I know, but you're spreading the tote bag message around whichever. No, you don't like that idea.
Okay, kill all pets, that one. Yeah, that's the one. I hide that one. I don't agree with it.
Death to Graham Norton. I've got one of those. So, no, back to our merch.
What are the implications of sending messages on LinkedIn?
What about a pen? I like a pen.
Oh, it's sort of on brand because people have to write in. Maybe a quill. You see so few quills in the merch stand these days.
For our audience, I'm thinking maybe a night guard.
Because they're so angry. They're just grinding their teeth at night listening to our stupid advice.
It's just printed wanging on on the night guard so you can smile at your husband.
Instead of wanging on. Do you know what would be quite good? A notepad that just said wanging on in each page.
Yeah. What about if it just says shut up? Shut up. Love wanging on.
Yeah. No one cares. Love wanging on.
I do like the notion of just saying, shut up.
You are just wanging on. What else could we do? I can't think of anything that clever. T-shirts that say, am I weird? Oh, now, that is a good idea. I like the idea of walking behind somebody and their shirt saying, am I weird?
