This week on Social Moths, the gang catch up on everything from exclusive swimming lakes and childhood pet beetles to outdoor swimming disasters, wrestling alter egos and the strange things people find washed up - or falling - from the sky.

There's plenty of laughter as Lindsay discovers she wasn't invited swimming, Harriet shares the heartbreaking story of Bertie the pet beetle, and the conversation spirals into giant fish, fascinator fashion, synchronised swimming, and whether a fat fanny really creates drag in the water.

The listener confession is unforgettable too - after being unexpectedly lifted into the air at a birthday party, one listener suffers a very public bladder disaster. Was it their fault, or should their friend have known better?

As always, expect unfiltered stories, questionable life choices, complete tangents and plenty of laughs.

If you've ever been left out, embarrassed yourself in public, or owned a truly bizarre childhood pet, this episode is for you.

Did you know that Harry had a pet beetle when she was a child? No, I didn't know this. Oh my god, you tell this story. Oh, I said you've got to tell it on the podcast. She said I can't because it's actually very sad. She meant it.

SPEAKER_03

Tell say what happened. So when I was younger, I had a pet beetle, and then I said to her Hang on. Yeah. How did the beetle come to be? I woke up and it was there. Oh, right. So then it was my pet, and then I told everyone I had a pet beetle, and then Zoe Case's mum goes to my mum after school. What the fuck is this? She's going swimming with you as well. She goes to my mum, just to let you know, Harriet's been telling everyone that she's got a pet beetle, and then everyone thought I was lying about this bloody pet beetle, and then um my dad comes into my room one day and he comes in to tell me off for lying again about the pet beetle, and he stood on it. I said, I told you I had a pet beetle, it's under your fucking foot, dead. I will remember you. And then we had uh we buried him in the garden in a pelicillin, in a little pelicillin jar. Bertie.

SPEAKER_02

That is sad. Oh, he's with the angels now. The beetle angels he's about that that is the size of a cat. For those listening, that was the size of a small cat. That's a large cat. Not if you count the tail pointing. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Who counts the tail?

SPEAKER_02

Uh me. Because that would be what's everyone been up to apart from arranging to go swimming without me? No. I would be carving little things out of wax to make jewellery. Oh I love your little rings though. Madame. Have you making jewellery? That's who I am now.

SPEAKER_03

I met up with a a friend from uh Cornwall and we went for we well, we were gonna go to Nando's and then we went to you know those that if you go to a play, so I went to her house and then uh which was lovely, and then we went to so Nando's was shot, so then we you know, like a restaurant when it's what what so you know you wouldn't know, you know, in an area, yeah, you would never know, you'd never go somewhere unless someone local knee. Because you go there and it's like, what is this? It doesn't know it it looks Edwardian. There's there's like it smells like Thai food, and then there's like a WI meeting, yeah, yeah. And uh type of place. Oh my god, I've just remembered something as well. So we so my friend recommended the chili beef to start with. Is this in the Nando's? No, the Nando's was shot and we were devastated. So then we went to this restaurant that was a niche quiche, and then Where where I wait when this was happening? Where where?

SPEAKER_04

You weren't in Preston, you were in Cornwall.

SPEAKER_03

I went to Wales. Oh Wales, okay. So then uh so then we had the chili, so we had double beef each, then she was eating her beef, and then suddenly she was like I think I've got some beef stuck, and then this went on for a bit, and I was like, at what stage do you step in? So then I was essentially just watching her sort of choke, then like she put her whole hand like down the gullet of her throat and just pulled this meat out and then slopped it on the plate.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03

Like a bird, like she's regurgitated. Yeah, like when a bird, like a worm's coming up, and then I could only focus on this regurgitated meat. Did she not even hide the meat? I think you should at least tuck the meat under the plate. Under the plate?

SPEAKER_02

Under the plate.

SPEAKER_03

You don't want to look at the meat that's been chewed. I know all I could do was look at the meat, and then I felt awful because I thought of my poor brother when he was choking to death, and then my dad just watched him and I was like, oh my god, I've done that.

SPEAKER_02

But your brother's not dead, is he? Let's just stress that. So he didn't choke to death.

SPEAKER_03

Because that sounded like just reminded me when my brother choked to death and died. Sorry, when he started to choke to death but didn't finish to death. Still going. Yeah, and then my dad just went and watched Big Brother. And remember when my brother was like, Why didn't you help me? And he went, Oh right, and then off he went. So then, but then me and my friend we did joke about it. I felt awful. What? Because you couldn't help her. No, because I just watched, didn't really know. I didn't know the severity that she needs that she got to the level where she needed to sort of But I feel like if she's got she's still able to control, if she's able to put her hand down her throat and grab out a piece of beef, I think she's okay.

SPEAKER_02

I would have wretched. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Well, that's that what and then she like wiggled, she got like a hook and then like wiggled round and got it out.

SPEAKER_04

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_02

What is this friend a human?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Are you talking to seals again and seagulls?

SPEAKER_03

No, yeah, yeah, human.

SPEAKER_04

I curbed my I thought I saw a seal when we were in Scotland when I was up for Edinburgh Fringe, and uh it was the night that the awards panel were in, and I was like, I've got to drive there, gotta get there on time because it's important that the awards panel are there.

SPEAKER_02

Thought I saw a seal out of the window and drove straight into the curb. What do you mean? So you saw what you thought was a seal and then mounted the curb to kill the seal. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_04

Curbed, and then I was in the night seal in the middle of nowhere, and uh, I had to crawl around and I managed to find this guy eating a Sunday dinner who came and uh came and helped me, but it was oh it's a right who what what what was the seal?

SPEAKER_02

What was it? I could say no, not a seal. What was its name? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Do you are you are you sealed?

SPEAKER_02

You're from Cornwall, you're not even impressed by a seal, probably.

SPEAKER_03

No, oh my god, so I've seen loads of seals washed up. Once once I went for a walk with my family, and uh this was the I think my mum and dad were not together, but we were all going for a walk, and then there was a giant fish on a rock, and and then my uh so dad was off the rock, and then my mum was like, bloody hell, there's a giant fish. So then she went to grab my dad while she was jumping off the rock. Didn't know my dad was having a wee, and she grabbed his willy and did they get back together for a bit then after that? No, it's just like why are you grabbing my willy when I'm trying to wee?

SPEAKER_02

Why are you grabbing my willy when I'm trying to wee?

SPEAKER_03

It was a massive fish. It's a massive willy as well. Get this. Well, everyone, and this is a theme, but everyone didn't believe me one time when on the way to school I saw a massive fish on the pavement, so it jumped out of the river across the road and then was on the pavement. No, it must someone must have dropped it. No, it was so big, and then and it was a bit f no, I'm lying, it wasn't flapping. And then and then I and then I said to everyone all day, I've seen a massive fish on the way to school, and everyone because obviously those days you didn't have a camera phone, and then and then no one's believed me all day, and then that night well uh evening dinner we were having our tea, and then I I said, Oh, no one believed me when I saw a fish on the way to school, and my dad was like, I saw the fish. So my dad he Do you think he put it there? No, he was just like that's mad that it's jumped across a road. Because it was like it had just jumped out of the water. Oh, I didn't think I got that bit. What? Jumped all the way across the road. It's not a massive road, but still. Yeah. Yeah, because why else must have picked it up and dropped it?

SPEAKER_02

Why what why is it saying when art when someone has picked it up and dropped it? You said it was too big. And then when Amy suggests a bird, it's likely.

SPEAKER_03

Well, there was a lady on the radio, and she was walking along. No, she was doing a mow lawn, and then and uh a snake just fell on her from the sky, and that was a hawk. A hawk had a snake and then had drop dropped it. Imagine doing your fucking mowing your lawn and the snake lands on your head.

SPEAKER_02

We were on holiday, and uh I was sat reading a book in uh I think we were in France, and um I had my hair in like a clip, and uh I felt something fall on my head. Uh I was only about 16, and there was a little baby bird on my head just falling out of the sky on my head. And chicken licking. Yeah, and everyone was like, no, it didn't.

SPEAKER_02

This was no mean feat, as I am a bigger lady. So you can imagine my surprise. And you know what else was a surprise? My bladder. Now it wasn't a little dribble, no, no, it was a full-on piss. I could not stop it, all down my legs into my socks and shoes. I was frozen in time. I shuffled I shuffled with my partner in tow, and while I binned my underpants in the sanitary bin, my banana is at the hand dryer trying to dry out my shorts. Once they were less moist, I fucking love the word moist. I know some people don't. I carried on like a trooper. I have never had kids, but I am nearly 50. Should I have emptied my bladder more in anticipation of this thing happening? Or should my mucca have asked before performing such an action? Well, I want to know whether they were aware that this had happened.

SPEAKER_03

I what do you who's covered in poor?

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, they crossed the line. You you can't what were you gonna do? Go around your life pissing because you think someone's gonna come up and grab you by the stomach.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's the way you should be, yeah. I think you should constantly be anticipating. I was assuming it was a woman, yeah. A woman, yeah. I don't well.

SPEAKER_03

No, it was, it was.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. I would constantly be piss, I'm pissing right now, just in case anybody I am pissing now. I love reach. I'm pissing.

SPEAKER_03

Have you listened to uh wonderful Esther Manito? She's got a bit, which is a true story about when she did a tough mudder and she had a um uh tenor lady, yeah, and then uh uh and then a comedian lifted her up over a fence, but because she was doing the top, it had filled up with water and mud and stuff, and then he lifted her up over the fence, she slipped, and her tenor lady went against his head, and all of her tenor lady juice dribbled down his face. Isn't that brilliant? That's amazing.

SPEAKER_02

I always um don't worry, Richard, we're running to time. Pipe your little neck behind the curtain. Well, you didn't say anything, but you know what you did? You slid behind the curtain and you looked at the clock as if to go, hurry the fuck up, you fucking women. That's what his face said, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_03

No comment.

SPEAKER_02

No comment needed. Um I uh I think also when you piss yourself, what a panic, and how lovely that your partner was there to help you. Uh my would would your partner help you bring out your own piss? When I had Selma, I just stood up out of the bed after well, like like that afternoon, stood up to get out of the bed and just like it was like I didn't even feel it. I think all the bits get all bruised and stuff. That was weird. That was right in front of him and a midwife. I pulled my cafeteria out, can't be asked. You pulled you what? I was waiting for them to come and take it and they're taking too long.

SPEAKER_03

You're very impatient.

SPEAKER_02

I was also mentally ill. Yeah, I haven't got a willy though.

SPEAKER_03

I I love it. Thank you for sending that in. That's a good one. That was a good one.

SPEAKER_02

That was my favourite that we've had, actually. Yeah, but I love I love that. I love that for you. I love that you pissed yourself and still recovered. And I'm proud of you.

SPEAKER_03

And I love that your partner didn't ask questions and just was there drying.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, drying your pissy shorts. Also, if you've been out drinking, you're probably hard quite hydrated so your piss won't be so pissy. True. That's just my opinion of it. What a br I would I would actually, if you want to do that again, I would pay money to be in that audience to see all that happening. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

To see somebody come up, surprise you, the look on your face of surprise, and then just piss.

SPEAKER_02

Imagine being picked up there. Brilliant. That in itself is like. And then did the person know that do we don't know. Please tell us. Did the person know that you pissed themselves? Maybe it's not, you know, like skunks when they're startled and they go piss out their ass. No, they don't piss. What is it? Stink. Stink. Piss stink.

SPEAKER_03

No, no piss. Stink. Stink. Once I was looking after a friend's cat whilst they were at some event. And then the cat, I didn't know whether it I it wanted to be let out, but I didn't know if it I couldn't ask them because they were in a show. And then I couldn't ask the cat because it didn't speak. So I th I I didn't know if if it usually got let out because it only had one eye. So I thought maybe it is um uh vulnerable in the wildlife. So then I was watching TV and it kept like looking at me with its one eye, going, Come on now, I need to go outside. And then um and they had this like really luxurious like entertainment system, just fucking look right at me and turn around and then just did fucking sprayed everywhere.

SPEAKER_05

Oh god, and was it allowed outside?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, oh there you go. And then I and then I was like trying to clean all the stuff with fairy liquid, and it's like they knew me. They were like, Harriet, do not clean it with fairy liquid. I was like, How did you know that's what I was doing?

SPEAKER_02

Right, well, that's the end. Um I hope you enjoy swimming together. Not they're having a conversation without me, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03

Lindsay.

SPEAKER_02

Enjoy your swimming. I'll see you on the other side.

SPEAKER_03

Can we make a date?

SPEAKER_02

Enjoy your fat fanny.

SPEAKER_03

Can we make a date for next swim with Lindsay? Yeah, but yeah, I'd like to.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just doing outside swimming. It's my favourite thing. I want to be a toad. We'll do it. We'll bucket him. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Kind of what you wish for, Lindsay.

SPEAKER_02

Because your dreams have come true. I wish that we all hold hands and close our eyes and think about how I wasn't invited to go swimming.

SPEAKER_05

Bye! Bye, bye.
