We are getting completely unfiltered on the podcast today, and honestly, things get a little gross fast! We start off talking about celebrity pregnancies, but somehow we slide straight into a massive debate about our weirdest childhood traumas, why walking behind me gives me the absolute heebie-jeebies, and the most chaotic birthmark stories you will ever hear in your life. You are truly not ready for where Yas's ex-boyfriend found a birthmark shaped like Australia. We wrap it all up with some awful gym hacks and a video of a hot dog competition that went horribly wrong.
We kicked things off today on The Ash London Show talking about the absolutely glowing Anne Hathaway expecting her third kid at 43, and Melissa George having her fourth at 49. It got us thinking about having parents who are doing the maths in their 70s while you're still at high school, before we completely detoured into the latest red carpet fashion. Did you see Zendaya at The Odyssey premiere? She was wearing a literal plaster corset molded to her body, which naturally led us down a rabbit hole debating the ultimate sex scenes in cinema history.
From movie scenes, the conversation took a very weird turn into deep-seated body trauma and past lives. I confessed that I absolutely freak out if anyone touches the bottom of my feet or even walks too close behind me, which apparently means I could never survive working in a kitchen. According to a book I read, our bodies physically hold onto all that hidden trauma. We then got onto the theory that your birthmark shows how you died in a past life. I’ve got one on my tummy from a past sword fight, but nothing compares to Harrison revealing he had an ex who discovered a birthmark on his gooch that looked exactly like a map of Australia.
To wrap up the chaos, we tried to solve my turning-40 crisis by finding the ultimate distraction hack for the gym treadmill. Harrison suggests 2016 white girl bangers like Zedd and Ellie Goulding, while Yas thinks TikTok or a period drama like Bridgerton is the way to go. Finally, we endured a truly horrific video from an American hot dog eating competition where the runner-up chundered all over the front row right next to the winner. It was dynamic, it was chaotic, and now we are off to mindfully eat some onion-free risotto!
