Hello and welcome to our Friday episode where we see how much extra content we can squeeze into your week, random things that have been sent in, extra bits that have been going on and how our advice went down with you, our wonderful G and Divas.
Now, we've got a slightly different set up today. There is a third microphone set up on the table, which means someone is going to be joining us, but we have no idea who it is. You on Tuesday's episode said you could always see surprises coming. I know I can. I'll predict with this. I don't like spas and I'm worried about if I don't know who is who. What happens if they reveal something you don't want revealed?
Mmm. Yes. Who could it be? We haven't been told gender identity. We haven't been told age. We haven't been told whether it's someone from our social life. Right. Someone we adore. We know nothing. Right. Shall we see who it is? I'm nervous. I don't like surprises. All right. Okay. Two, one. Who is it? It's social joke.
Can we just say, we never mention social. I love your rainbow jumper. We never mention social Joe enough on this podcast. She is so lovely and so hard working and I always feel bad about the time when I was really flagging on tour, she went out and got me a nice coffee.
tattooed on your mind. And it was just so nice. I know. Joe does brilliant things for our social media and newsletter. Right. What have we done? What is this? You've come with paraphernalia. Oh, I have visual aids, which is perfect for an audio medium. OK. So, yes, normally, I'm, you know, watching, looking at what our G&D was on, messaging us. Yeah. Jokes for Jordan. Yes.
thirsty messages, get some of them for you. And apparently convincing people they had SDDEs for our new letter, the professional high point awkward. But yes, when I'm not doing that, one of the many very interesting things I do is family history research.
And so Chairman Emeritus Stewart thought, wouldn't it be interesting if we delved into the Hanson and North family trees and saw what we could come up with? I've always wanted to do this, but I'm worried after mine will be inside.
Oh my god, my luck. He's going to be descended from Dukes and Duchesses, and I'm going to be descended from Nott. I've always wanted to do this, Joe. OK, so this comes with some caveats, right? OK. I am an enthusiastic amateur, very enthusiastic, very amateur. OK. So we're not rewriting our wills or claiming long lost cousins as a result of me procrastinating on the internet, looking at this. OK.
Um, okay, so that's my first caveat. Oh, this is great. So I got into this when I was probably a teenager. Okay. My aunt took me to used to have to like physically go to the records office and like go through these big hefty books and look stuff up and it was slow and it took forever. And all like she's trying to visit graveyards to look at gravestones to see like family history on them. Um, I just spent a bit of time on the internet looking. So how long is this taking now?
Oh, hours. So that's my first caveat is who knows how accurate this is. But my second caveat is there will undoubtedly be wrong pronunciation as is podcast law. Yeah. That's pretty standard. Okay. And probably some history and geographical errors. Okay. Now I'm the one who sees when you may get stuff wrong. I see all the DMs. So I can imagine there will be some feedback. Oh, yeah, that's fine.
Um, but I have got a quiz for you. Uh, it's like the world's most niche pub quiz round. Okay. And it's called, who the hell do you think you are? Brilliant. I love this, Joe. So I've got a series of facts about one or both of your ancestors and you have to work out who you think these facts are about. Okay. So my first one is who in their world war one investment record had two tattoos.
Oh God. Well, I'm naturally wanting to say Jordan, but I can see the fall that is being set up. No, it's got, I'm going to say, I'm the, I, every member of my family's got a tattoo. Most of my aunties have got tattoos.
Most they have. Well, we'll do a gallery on Instagram. Yeah. Like, so I think, in fact, I don't think we've got any tattoos in World War One, a tattoo didn't sort of have the connotations it has now necessarily. It was mainly sort of people in the Army or the Navy or the Air Force. It wasn't sort of, you didn't have like designer tattoos. I think we should go for me, my family. All right. Yeah.
It is Williams. So, Williams, great-grandfather, Fred. Oh, yes. When he enlisted, he had a dagger on one arm, and a heart with his mum's initials on the other. You said tattoos are common. Well, I think they are Fred.
So I think if you just got your mum's initials in a heart on your arm, that would be like a lovely family. Yeah, Fred was on my father's side. So this was your dad's grandfather? Yes. Was it Daisy and Fred? Yes. I've got that bit right now. Give it a couple of minutes, John. Second question.
Who's ancestor was in court a few times and was a prize fighter? Well, again, I want to say Jordan's but you know, I'm gonna say me because I think with granddad was I think I'm third this before me granddad side of family were boxes in Wales.
Okay. So I'm going to go for me. Shall we take me? Well, I'll go for Jordan. So you are correct? Oh! You are great, great, great grandfather Charles in the mid-1800s. Seen to have got into a lot of arguments, which, you know, I'm not saying that's genetic. No, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Yeah, got into a lot of arguments and fights with people. Yeah, and was a prize fighter. Was this from my grandson?
No, that's going to make me cry. We've wrestling has become a theme on this podcast and now we've got a good payoff. The reason why I don't know this is I don't really know much about my granddad. He came over to Burnley for Wales in the war. He's funny, met my grandma in the morning, moved to Burnley to track it down. It was like a problematic love story. He moved the bat to Wales. Anyway, go on.
This is why I find this stuff so interesting because you just, you can imagine what their lives would have been like, you know, like, where did they live? What did they do? How many kids did they have? Why did they move across the country? I find it so interesting. That's my great, great grandfather. Three greats. Great, great, great grandfather Charles. What an up market name as well. I have found there are quite a few William Norths. Oh.
I've not found a Jordan Hanson yet, but I keep digging. Okay, so who is theoretically more likely to be related to chairman emeritus Stuart and D.P.B.? Oh. No evidence of this, but like statistically more likely to be. So I'd say statistically I'm probably more related to Ben because he sort of
South, yeah. Stuart and Jordan have the Welsh connection. Jordan's got Welsh and Stoke-on-Trent connections, so theoretically. I've always said Jordan's a bit Stoke-on-Trent. You are. Now I prove right. You are potentially very potentially more connected to them.
You're my brother. Oh, God. He ain't heavy. He's my brother. This is why I always teach him because he's probably not. I'm sure of course. He's my brother. Oh, cousin. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So next question, who has connections to the Lancashire area?
Oh, it's going to be me, isn't it? I mean, I want to say, Jordan, because you were born there. Oh, no, you're born in Yorkshire, but then you moved to Lancashire. I'd say me. We'll go for you, will you? Well, it is baked to be, because, yeah, you'll see you have... You've got a bit of eye connection, isn't it? Not for the first time. Don't steal my joke, I've got to go for the joke. Sorry, Joe. We'll axe the prize. Oh, she's probably down and everything's in.
So yes, so you're the Hansons originally were from kind of the sulphid echols area of Greater Manchester. So in the records you appear in lots of Lancashire records. No, right.
which causes where you went to uni, so I don't know if you'd sort of felt... Yes, naturally, I gravitated. Yes. We used to own the whole media city estate, I think, actually. It's what you're probably about to tell us. Yes, all the appeals, aren't you? Yes. OK, so next question. Who had a little American in them? Oh, that's me, I think. Is that 2012 or not? Yeah, I'm going to say William. Because my...
Grandfather I think my father's father who I never met because he died when my father's 18 Was born in Pennsylvania. Yeah, yes
So here's father, the one with the tattoos, Fred, had moved to America in the kind of late 1800s with his mum and as a kid, and then yeah, your grandfather was born in the US and then moved to Bristol when he was about five or six. Next up, who has a relative who was officially a bastard?
And Joel's accent and lovely voice. It's the only time I heard that word and thought it sounds nice. That's Mr. King. He is. He was officially a bastard. So it is a horrible word. And should we just clear out what bastard in it's correct means she was born out of wedlock?
Oh, is that what it was? In an era where that was looked upon as incorrect. Obviously, we're living in more enlightened times now. So that was true of my little niece. And apparently, people don't like when you call her two-year-old a bastard. No, I can see why.
But yeah, one of you has an ancestor who was officially a bastard. Well, it's going to be me. I'm going to say William. Yes, so your great-great-great-grandmother was the bastard daughter of Mary. How did she like my family? In 1815. Wow, in 1815. What was her name? So her name was Ruth. Hi, I'm Ruth and I'm a bastard. I can do an impression of Ruth now. I did bastard proof. This isn't my father's size.
uh yes yes okay bastard gosh okay see now bastard to me doesn't mean that it's like when you stop your toe i busted yeah burn your hand you got a bit of a bit of a roof now we can call it okay okay i did worry there would be a lot of scope for uh for accents because of an impressions yes so yeah my entire career and identity has been undermined in the space of ten minutes yes i know
Okay, so next question, who's ancestor around a haulage business in Clitherrow? Oh, where is he, he's from? So this is in the early 1900s and I have a visual aid for this one. So we have a photograph that someone else very cleverly found on the internet. So this is a photo of three vans, beautiful looking vans in the street with some gentlemen standing around.
Oh my god! So which of us is related to truckers is basically what you're trying to offer. No, but those houses, it's like still there now in Clivro and they've not, look at Izzy, you're from Clivro. Those houses haven't changed at all, look at the vans. They'd go for a lot of money now though. Those houses and just look like...
Um, I, I reckon it'd be me, my grandma was from Burnley originally. Yeah, but, well, how close is Clithero to Burnley? Oh, isn't it? Clithero. Well, I'm going to say Jordan. Yeah, let's go for me. Yeah, so it's Jordan's family. So your great, great grandfather, Tom, uh, ran this haulage company with these beautiful vans. I love it. And yeah, it was a bit of a trucker. What was his name, Tom? Tom Bertwell.
No way, that's my mum's side. Yeah, yeah. I know that's what the fans say, tea burnt well. Wow. Wow.
So, and on the records, this is why doing additional research can be so interesting, and I'm so glad that this person's managed to find this, because in the records, it'll often just say, like, driver, and you don't get that additional context. So, if you can find things like this, it really does add context. That's amazing. I think on my side, when they put driver, they meant chauffeur. So, that's my great, great two. Great, great grandfather, Tom, yeah. Okay. Right, okay.
And my final question is, who is descended distantly from royalty? Oh, God, it's going to be jaw. No, it's not going to be me. It will not be me. No, because I'm sitting here with the production hat on and it's going to be. I can't, but there's no one royal in my, in my family.
But, well, not now, but his story. And you're from the south and you'll live down there. No, because, no, because Henry Tudor and Battle of, you know, the Orcs and Lancastrians, so they'd started up up north. And before that, they were Scandinavian and other countries, Germans, but a German injection as well. Okay. Now I'm going to go for Jordan. I'm going to go for William.
Well, actually that's a trick question, it's neither of you. Oh my God. But I will keep looking. I will keep looking. I was going to make you bend the knee and everything, man. Kissed my own. Can we finish the episode? Joe, thank you so much. A big round of applause to Joe. That was amazing. You better come with the episode, shall we? Family tree Joe, we're going to call you now. Let's have a quick break and then we'll come back and do some of your responses. Social Joe, everyone.
Falling all music buffs. Hey, hey, turn the volume up, yeah. Make me a mix tape is back. I'm Jordan Stevens. I'm Clara Antfout, and this is our weekly music show. A celebrity guest picks the theme. We select the tunes. And we battle it out to create the ultimate mix tape. Made the best music lover we had. Oh, it's about to go down. Let's go! Make me a mix tape. Listen only on BBC Sounds.
Well, I know I was spending my weekend. Yes. I've always wanted to do that. Looking to your back story. Looking to my back story. Right. What have you got for us? Well, we have Rachel in Lincolnshire. She's starting us off at high William Jordan EPB and the sex of team. I recently introduced my friend Geraldine to your podcast and for her birthday. I gifted her the D as she'd never tried it before.
We've been waiting for the perfect moment to enjoy the D together, so when I heard about your live stream, I thought it would be ideal. However, I then realised that it fell on the same date I took my daughter Cara, a fellow Gene Diva, who introduced me to the podcast, to see Jane McDonald's. Oh, no, you've got to write this.
The concert tickets were her Christmas present, so there goes Jane again, not content with ceiling picky tea and passing it off as her own. She's now trying to sabotage your live stream slash Defest. Why has Jane McDonald got it in for us? What have we done to Jane? We love Jane. I'm going to see her twice already in the Palladium Pantae this Christmas. Is she in the panther? Yes, she's made Mary into Julian Clare as Robin Hood. Can I come? Yes, you can be my third time. Go again. Yeah, we'll do again.
I would say I hope you went to see Jane and you can watch our livestream episode back on YouTube. On YouTube, which is up now on our YouTube channel.
Now, we've heard back from Anonymous with the neck massager that was being used for other massaging from help with just a couple of dancing queens. Hi boys, I didn't end up going to my doctor. I just relied on cranberry juice and sachets to heal me. I threw the massager out, though. I think that's wise. I'm recruiting. My best friend is a new Gene Diva. We'll watch the episode together and I promise to tell him my dirty little secret afterwards and show her your reactions.
Well, problem halved is problem sheft. It's a problem wash. Shaved. It's like a little French cheese. I said it wrong. Anyway, it's problem shared is problem halved. Yeah, I think so. Shaved. Shaved. Yes. Rehear has written in. Hello, William Jordan, E.P.P.
I work in the city of London and one day while walking to the train station I spotted a tall man heading towards me. Oh wow, I immediately recognised him as William's husband Mikey. The only thing was he wasn't in a builder's hat for high vis jacket but a suit. It's almost like he's not the auction man builder Jordan has made us believe.
No, it would have been his day off. Yeah, it would have been in court. No, they tried to rob me. Jordan, I priced them up a job. I told them the court and now they're trying to get me down on money. So I will take the bastards to court and I love me day in court with them. I think you should have said hello, love. You should have come up and said hello.
She continues, I nearly yelled Wendy, or Millicle Flower Pot, but held back, should we come up with something to shout at Mikey when we spotted him in public, he would hate that. He's such an important part of the podcast, even without being in the studio, but he doesn't like being embarrassed. To shout, oh, Millicle Flower Pot! I am going to remain silent because I feel I cannot in any way endorse this. If you ever see Mikey in public, just shout, oh, Millicle Flower Pot!
Do you know what's nice about Mikey? You know, people get that filter where you get turned into Disney characters. Yes. He already looks like one. Oh, he does. He's so cute and handsome. Cheers, Joe. Of course, a Mojo. No, he's a Joe. No, he's away. No, he does. I know what you mean. He is very awesome. Yeah.
And finally one from Matthew. Good afternoon William Jordan and the wonderful team at Sexted. I wanted to thank Jordan for his idea of a bliss hour. As a psychotherapist, I started using this concept in my sessions to highlight the importance of taking time out for oneself. It's been really beneficial for my client's mental well-being, though of course I leave out the bits that aren't quite professional for therapy.
Don't I don't do everyone thinks it's me in the eye. Everyone thinks me in the eye. Everyone thinks it's a connotation for that. I don't... Cinnamon. Everyone thinks it's cinnamon for that. I don't know what cinnamon means. Everyone thinks it's... That is not... I just... Look at me in the eye. What? Well, I've had a few wanks in it, but it's not at all.
It's not. It's not totally for that. Right. And do they take the full hour? I don't want to. I'm not talking about this. I don't want to talk about this. Yeah. Matthew continues. One plan recently. Yeah. Talk.
One client recently shared how much they've come to rely on their bliss hour at the end of each week. So thank you again for introducing such a helpful idea that's now part of my client's well-being toolkit. Can I just say a few people have messaged me about this? Nice. It's what you have given them. That said, it's important. It's not every day. It's just every, it's like, I know I'm not digging up roads, but we've been on radio for four hours. And you're like, it's like mentally, like you're on it. You've got like, I'm very lucky with my job. So it's just sometimes come up and it's quiet and it's chilled.
I, the other day, Mikey was away and I put up a photograph on my Instagram of me watching the television. I was watching To The Man of Born and people replied going, Oh, you having a bliss hour? Well, no, I'm just watching To The Man of Born, but it was very nice. I did put the blanket over me. I opened up a letter P Keith.
It's not that, it's chilled out, it's a reset, it's a reset for the day. Right, your mind was that, can a bliss hour, is there like a time limit that a bliss hour stops being a bliss hour and it's just like evening chill?
It's an hour. It's an hour. It's about any time of day. It's a couple of biscuits and just watching tell each other. Sometimes it's weird. You bet any time of day. Sometimes it's just a classic ephraim on it background. So on brand. Any... I won't hear a bad word. It's about classic fam. Until I went over to global, I'd never listened to it. It's perfect. Have we hit it on all the time? Yeah. Yes, we do. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes it's until I'm ticked my house on a Sunday. Do you? When I sat there.
Okay, lovely. But can I have a bliss hour at eight o'clock in the evening or is that too late? Yeah, that's fine. Okay, fine. We'll never suit you. Good to know. Well, lovely. Thank you again for all of those responses to you, Divas. If you want to get in touch about something that isn't a dilemma or a problem, drop into our DMs or send us an email to help-it-sex-in-my-boss.com. We also love hearing back from the people we offer advice to, so if that's you, do get in touch and we'll speak to you on Tuesday. Goodbye.
