All right, welcome back to the We RT 1D Podcast, the podcast
where two grown men try and navigate life with type 1
diabetes and occasionally get told off by teenagers.
Very occasionally, mate, I feel like today's guest is ready to
roast us. This episode is a little bit
different because we've handed the mic over to someone who
(00:21):
knows diabetes from the sidelines, but knows me and Mike
better than anyone. Yep, she's seen me at my worst,
including mid hypo zombie mode. She's clever, cheeky and
brutally honest. It's my daughter, Ashley.
Hello, guys, I've got a list of questions that I'm going to ask
(00:43):
these two. I'm not holding back, by the
way, so you're going to get all the juicy gossip that you want.
Oh. Good.
Well, fantastic. I can't wait, said no dad and
pod card host ever. No, we definitely can.
But so today we're switching things up.
Ashley's in charge, asking us about diabetes, the podcast,
(01:05):
embarrassing stories, and we might turn a few questions back
on her too. You've.
Been warned, Ash. Everybody's coming.
Let's get into it. This is the WE RT 1D Ashley
Takeover. Welcome to the We Are T1D
podcast. The Realist Type 1 Diabetes
(01:28):
podcast online hosted by myself Mike diagnosed at the age of 10.
And myself, Jack diagnosed at the age of 30.
We are just two mates giving youan insight into life with this
chronic condition. Yes, we are adults and although
we try not to swear, it may happen occasionally.
Yeah, as Jack said, we are adults, but please take what we
(01:51):
say as guidance and not medical advice.
No, trust me, we are not doctors.
We are just here to make sure notype 1 diabetic ever, ever feels
alone. Do you get started with the
first question? Yeah, let's go all.
Right guys, have either of you ever met a listener in person?
(02:12):
No, I haven't. Fair enough.
I have friends that are listeners, but then also
randomly I was at work and then one of our listeners called Ryan
come in the shop and he's like, you're right, Mike.
And at that time I was proper hypo as well.
Oh. Yeah, I remember.
So yeah, technically I have. Oh, that's so lovely, Dad.
(02:36):
Would be nice to meet everyone. I don't think that's possible.
Yeah, guys, T1D meet and greet coming soon.
No, I'm. Not it's the big meet up this
summer. Now wait when they hear a
certain amount of listeners thenthey will do a meet and greet.
Sponsored by not me. Sponsored by Lyft.
(02:58):
That's pretty much like the podcast sponsored by Not Me.
Someone someone clipped this Lyft sponsor them.
OK. Are you guys ready for Question
2? Oh yeah, yes, we are.
OK, what's the most random placeyou've done an injection?
What? Most random place.
(03:21):
I've done several in weird places, football stadiums and
the middle of concerts. Concerts.
Oh, what else are they called? Concerts.
A concert. Concert.
It's a concert. Oh my God.
Concert. It's a concert.
(03:45):
What Dad? Where else have I the middle of
the street trains? There's quite several weird
places. You know.
What I find funny. Go on.
Jack's like never been scared todo his injections anywhere, but
when my dad always used to be like really scared, he only does
it around people. Well, now he's a lot better with
(04:05):
it, but before he would only do it around certain people and he
would hide it. To be fair, my weirdest places
are every toilet around the world.
Every toilet. Yeah, well, near enough.
You've done the rounds, didn't you?
Yeah. Boat travels toilet to toilet.
(04:25):
But I am better now. You're right, Ash.
Next question, what is your go to hypo snack or snacks?
Mine varies. At the moment it's squashes.
Squashes that used to be my dad's.
They are good. Yeah, I've been through a whole
list. At the moment I'm just having
lifts, mainly because I can control them a bit better and
(04:49):
I'm trying to control my eating at the moment, so yeah.
Yeah, see, I used and once again, baby, baby size,
everything's baby size. He just showed the camera, but
it's just audio, so just like you guys know.
That I always do it it's a habitdon't come in here and start
like giving it boss and that tonight I've been doing a
podcast for 33 years bro I'm. Just telling them because they
(05:12):
can't see the thing. It's only been 2.
Yeah, isn't it? Sorry it feels like longer.
It does. What the hell?
OK, I'm going to get involved with that question too.
My favourites is the sweet and spicy Cheetos and kinda bueno.
Why? Oh, kinda bueno.
(05:32):
Is that good? I used to use them a lot.
Yeah. I actually I actually know for a
fact 11 long kinda bueno is only10 grams of carbs.
That's lovely. That was so patronizing.
So Ashley, when you go low, you don't have to eat 5.
(05:53):
Oh, you only have to eat 1. One.
One finger. I must be bare high all the
time. No, you have a pancreas.
Oh. Yeah.
Oh my God, sometimes I tease my dad about not having a pancreas
so I just find it funny. Just torture.
It wins me every argument, but how is bro creating a baby with
(06:16):
a pancreas if he doesn't have one?
It's awesome. I'm joking.
I'm joking. And guys, This is why I need a
sense of humor in my life. No, because I get mine from you.
And it's a good job. I've got 1.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Not a pancreas though. Now joke was crying earlier
because I said something rude tohim.
(06:38):
That's nice. I didn't even know what I said.
Next question. Next question, do you 2 ever get
competitive about your time in range?
No, because I got sick of losing.
Yeah, but funnily enough, you chucked the town in on doing
(07:00):
that just as mine was starting to go down the pants that you
could have had the glory for a couple of months.
I know, but it's just not worth it.
Oh my God bro does not like losing.
Often we could get paid if over everything else apart from
diabetes. Yeah, because it's personal.
(07:21):
Oh, is that your thing to bond on?
Yeah, bonding bondings. Next question what's the
weirdest thing someone has said to you about diabetes?
To For me it was having a child say, how can you produce a baby
with a pancreas when you haven'tgot one yourself?
(07:42):
Hey, was that me? Yeah.
Oh I got confused. Where?
Oh my God. That's definitely up there.
Yeah, mine's the mine's always going to be the conspiracy
theory. What's up?
Someone someone told me that diabetes was all a conspiracy.
Kind of funny. Yeah, awful.
(08:03):
So basically, the man was telling me that diabetes was
made-up so pharmaceutical companies can sell insulin and
make money. I would say something rude but I
think I can't say it on the podcast.
No, I I, I said something rude. Trust me.
(08:24):
Yeah, my mum told me you guys make a lot of inappropriate
jokes towards each other. That's just men being men.
Oh, bears. Manly things.
Yeah, that's just, that's just how friends, that's just how man
friends speak to each other. Friends, man friends.
Oh my God, we're always with this little little I don't even
(08:46):
know. Next question.
Yeah, Next question. If your diabetes was a person,
what would you say to her? Their brains are ticking.
Why you no work? I said.
Yeah, I was going to say fuckingbehave.
Go on holiday. Leave me alone for one minute.
(09:10):
Oh, that's, that's good. I don't know what to say.
Next. OK, what has been your favorite
episode of the podcast so far? That's a good question.
I know. How many episodes were you even
(09:31):
done now mate? Mate it's way over 100 it.
Isn't it? It's probably over 200 now.
It probably is. Oh my God, I mean so far.
The the episode sticks in my face.
I think it's one of the. Sticks in your face?
Do you mean your head? It's because of what I'm
thinking about what I'm going tosay.
It's probably when Jack was first in his diagnosis story and
(09:56):
Jack, Jack goes, my mate was coming all over my face or
something crazy. What I can't remember it word by
word, but it's it's, it's just, there's loads of moments like
this that just caught me out andI've it's anything.
To send me in. I'm trying to pick one but
there's so many running through my head at the moment and I
(10:18):
it's. There's so many little men
running through his hand. Do you I I remember the episode
that got scrapped that didn't even make the archives because
my back was so hypo it just could not go out.
Oh my God. That's probably somewhere on
your dad's computer. Somewhere it's got to be.
(10:39):
Guys, I'm going to hunt it and I'm going to post it.
No, it went into outtakes, didn't it?
That's when we started the outtakes.
Yes, I think the majority of it did go into the antics, Yeah,
because he was actually running around the house.
He wasn't. He wasn't podcasted at all, he
was up running around doing whathypo mic usually does.
(11:03):
Was I at DS? Yeah.
Oh my God, what the hell. Gosh.
Well, you know what I'm like I. Was trying to have a
conversation with you and he wasjust going, Oh my God, look at
this. Oh my God, But he's like a
little toddler. I do, I turn like a little kid
when I'm hypo. It's really weird.
(11:23):
You turn like a little kid all the time anyway.
Yeah, I will grow up. Who would be your dream guest on
your podcast? Dream guest on my podcast.
You know how that mean? Dream guest on my podcast?
No JoJo Siwa. No.
Oh, and she the loom bag of. I'm a comeback like a bone
(11:44):
meringue, JoJo Bobo. JoJo Bobo.
JoJo Bobo like, oh, it's OK. Who would you have as a guest
man? Who would you be all go to?
I can't. My, I've always said it, it's
Gary Maber, isn't? It Oh yeah, your childhood pen
(12:04):
pal. But yeah, but from what I've
heard about him now, I don't think I'd want him on here.
Oh, fair enough. Do you know who I'd pick?
Who? Who?
Luke the horse. Is that the one in the yard?
Yeah. You ain't going to say Marsh, is
he? Oh my God, he will nay bogey or

famous so I can meet them, please?
I wish it was that easy. Yeah, me too.
It's OK guys, I'll do it. We're.
Trying one of them makes music but he's not that good so I'm
(12:45):
not really in contact. ASI Big Star's a DJ.
It's the 1230. Next question, Ash?
OK, next question. Well, Jack didn't even answer
that one, but it's OK, Jack. Yeah, I can't think.
I don't know. I don't know who I'd pick.
I honestly don't know who I'd have as a guest.
(13:05):
He's just happy to be here with my dad.
Pretty. Much.
Oh, such a cute little moment. So wholesome.
What's one thing that each of you do that really winds you up?
There was one one thing that other person does that really
winds you up. It's not a lot, really.
(13:26):
No, there ain't actually a lot. No, there's got to be something.
Apart from going hypo in the middle of an episode.
Dig deep. There's got to be something.
I could actually say we get on well from my perspective.
Do we do? Yeah, we do.
We do. I don't think we don't spend in
like we're not them sort of friends that we even though we
(13:47):
should do, but I don't think we spend enough time actually with
each other to annoy each other. Yeah, so every time we talk,
it's like a catch up more than anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, nothing. Our relationships solid.
Oh my God, sassy pants. OK guys, I tried to get the tea
(14:12):
for you but it didn't work. What is the best or funniest
listener message you have received?
The monkey that stole the rice. And also the dinosaur.
The kid that was a dinosaur. Oh, that was hilarious.
I think I've heard both of these, you know.
(14:34):
That was hilarious. Yeah, the listener stories they
were. Bring back the dinosaur.
I get my own personal podcast asyou flip a waffle into me.
Yep, you get one 24/7 as you're lucky.
There you go live. I'm sorry.
(14:55):
OK, dad, if you had to do the podcast without talking about
diabetes, what would you talk about?
Life. Your life is diabetes.
Yeah, but if. Diabetes weren't there.
My life would be a lot more interesting.
Could be, yeah. Or would it be a lot more
dollar? Don't know.
Dollar, Dollar. He's the entertainment.
(15:15):
Yeah, it's our niche, exactly. Oh my God, wait, how do you know
that word? Because we're because we're
older than you. Well no, I said it to my dad the
other day and didn't know it. Have you searched up?
Niche. Yeah, niche.
That's why I didn't know what you was talking about, because
you said niche. No, no.
No, no, no, wait. Oh, sad new kebab.
(15:36):
Niche means like nothing. No niche is like your personal
category like. Oh well, I meant.
Yeah, I know that. I meant a Nish.
What's the name? Nish Kebab.
Oh, nish kebab. Oh I have two nish kebab.
Oh please. Guys.
(15:56):
Yeah. Stop it.
Sorry, next question. OK, if you had to pick any theme
song or theme tune for the podcast, what would it be?
Rosie and Jim. Rosie and Jen what?
Well, change it to Jack and Mike.
Wait. Sing it.
(16:18):
Sing. It Rosie and Jim.

And Mike, next week guys, the intro might change for a one off
episode. Oh my God, did you guys do an
April Fools episode? Yeah, I scared Jack, didn't I?
(16:38):
Oh, no, that was Halloween. No, we didn't.
Oh, you missed out on opportunities, Brav.
Yeah, well, we haven't got an agent or PR or anything.
It's just our sash. Oh, OK.
I'll be your agent. Thanks.
Cheers. You're welcome.
You can start by taking over thesocials.
Yeah. Oh, I actually could, you know,
(16:59):
because sometimes I get a bit cringed out by what my dad
posts. You're not taking over my
personal one. It would be if we are T1T1, both
of them. I love my cringy shit, thank you
very much. No.
OK, this is a juicy one. Have you ever fancied a diabetic
(17:22):
nurse or doctor? No, Bob wasn't my type.
Do you both have Bob? Yeah.
Oh my God, is Bob a man? Yeah.
OK, but you like that? He's a nice bloke.
OK, And Jack's silently laughing.
(17:47):
Guys, just to let you know, Jackis laughing.
He does find this funny, but it's just not ready.
Guys where Jack's laugh is so high pitched.
The mic cuts it out. I can't help.
It he gets demonetised. Are you ready for the next
question, guys? Yes, well, it's a weird habit
(18:09):
that you have that nobody knows.I take a slice of toast to work
every morning, and nine times out of 10 I don't even eat it.
OK. That's pretty weird.
Yeah. And he straps the seat belt on
it. Or he just has a little toast
friend. Yeah, little toast.
(18:31):
He's in company. Comes with me every day to work,
stays there till about 10:00 andif my bloods don't go alone and
my insulin don't work, it comes in the Bush and the birds have
it. Oh, that's so kind.
My weird habit is I don't reallypay attention to my basil what I
put in. Basil.
My, you know, my night time and my morning one, it's around 20.
It's either high or low. It's just I've.
(18:54):
Never heard Basil before. You've never mentioned.
That my long lasting oh. OK.
Yeah. So that's what it calls it.
Yeah. Jack, maybe that's your hidden
talent war the weird habit. What is it?
Would you survive a zombie apocalypse together?
Yeah, yeah. Do you know how many zombie
(19:15):
fighting games I've got? Absolutely not.
You 2 have not survived together.
Next question. Do you know how many?
How many needles might must have?
Because he never changes. I do.
I'm good. Now look.
Has he got a full up sharp spin?Is he going to fall off his
(19:36):
chair? He.
Looks like it. So if we can't hear it shake
over the thing, I heard it shake.
Yeah, condense the mic mate. Oh yeah.
OK, anyway, next question. What would you do if you woke up
as each other for a day? Fix my fucking basil?
(19:56):
No, I'd I'd fix my basil rate. You would like being tall.
I would, yeah. You just walk around grabbing
things off top shelves for the sake of it.
Yeah, and you put things on bottom shelf just piss me off.
Thank you. OK, next question, This is a
very easy one. Even I know the question because
(20:18):
our dad complaints about it to me and it takes longer to get
ready for the podcast me. Yeah, Stephanie, Jack.
Yeah, the amount of times my dadsaid to me meant to be filming
the podcast right now, but Jack isn't even here yet.
Jack's doing this. Jack's doing that.
No. Do you know why?
Because my bath takes forever torun.
Well, run it earlier then. But I can't because I don't get
(20:41):
in earlier, do I? Well then get off work earlier.
Oh, I wish that I had to do on you.
Wait till you start going to work.
I'm trying to He just caught a flyer by the way, guys.
Yeah, I did like Mr. Miyagi. Yeah, yeah, chopsticks.
Oh dude. Didn't he used his hands?
They're lying to you. No, my hands are chopsticks.
(21:06):
But the listeners Jack just pinched his finger and his thumb
together. What the hell did everyone's
listeners? Because no one can watch it.
No it's OK. What's the biggest tech disaster
you have had whilst filming? My computer completely crashing.
Actually, every everything fallsinto Jack's category here, so
(21:28):
his webcam broke. Yes.
Wi-Fi cuts out mid episode with a guest.
Yep. Old snap.
Didn't you mic break as well at some point?
No, we recorded for several months on our old hosting
platform and I had auto gain on my microphone so we thought my
(21:50):
mic was broken so I bought a newone and then realized the auto
game was on so I switched it off.
That was it. What's the auto gain?
It makes you a mic louder. Oh no.
Yeah, so I thought my mic was broke.
And I just thought he was shouting at me.
Oh my God. OK, there is 2 questions left
(22:13):
guys. Let's go.
If you were to swap browse, for example, Jack edits and Dad, you
just you're just there for the ride.
How would it go? Not very well, because we tried
it. Yeah, I know.
Then I can't edit. Yeah.
It's OK, you'll learn. Practice makes perfect.
(22:36):
That's the attitude, Ash you. Sound like your dad.
I am his daughter. Yeah, she's here's a mini me.
It's quite scary, but last one, Ash.
Last one, if you started your own podcast about each other,
(22:56):
what would you call it? You've already thought about
that, mate. Well, start my own podcast.
I was going to do a Like a Storyone, weren't I?
Diabetic and lonely. No, that's just really sad.
It's sad. No, because you're like, not
together. Yeah, Oh my God, I am T1D alone.
Well, that is such. That just doesn't sound right,
(23:19):
does it? No, I I wouldn't do a diabetes
podcast by myself. Oh my God, this is so cute.
Yeah, you'll have no one to talkto.
That'll be boring. Yeah, like I said, there's
nothing to talk about. There's no one to talk to.
Yeah, you need that Bing bang bong.
Bing. Bang, you know.
Where it goes back and forward. Yeah, that's exactly what we
(23:41):
have. Bing bang bong.
I didn't know what to call it. You know, like ricochet Bing
bang bong. Ricochet.
Who's he? The Irish, mate.
I know, right? So Ash, Ash, you're dumb, mate.
We're flipping the script on youright now.
(24:02):
Oh, snap. Right.
Be honest. Who's your favorite, me or Jack?
Well, my dad. Yes, let's have it.
Such such a biased question. Yeah, I know.
I thought I'd start easy, you know?
What? You annoy me?
Jack's always beefing me, bruv. I'm fine.
(24:26):
We then we'll settle it. I come home from school and he
just starts putting his middle fingers up at me.
I think it starts the other way around.
Yeah, it does. I don't think it does.
Right. Next question.
We'll settle this after the podcast.
OK, I can't even do it back. What's the most embarrassing
(24:50):
thing? You're dead.
You're dead. What's the most embarrassing
thing your dad's done in public?Oh my God, where do I flip and
start? The amount of times he's going
gone round shops, picking up random stuff and just, I don't
know, just being weird. The amount of times I've had to
(25:12):
lead him around because he's like gone hypo and he's not know
what he's doing. He's just picking up every bit
of food. He sees insight and I've had to
be like, no, what are you doing?And literally, sometimes I feel
like roles are reversed. I'm his dad and he's my
daughter. I don't know, it's just a bit
(25:35):
strange. There's many I think.
Yeah. There is probably more, but I
don't have a very good memory. I'm kind of like a dolphin.
You know what? I have another thing that my dad
has done in public that I completely forgot about before
we were in. I think it was either Boots or
(25:56):
Savers. I don't know, but he was really,
really. Like, chuckle Mike, I think you
know what's coming, yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was really,
really low and we were in there because I needed more cotton
pads. So my dad runs ahead, whatnot.
We're like, OK, he must be goingto get the cotton pads for me.
(26:19):
Yeah. He goes around the corner, but
like, Oh yeah, yeah, he's not going to do anything.
Some girls walking in front of me.
Yeah. My dad thought it was me, throws
a packet of cotton pads, acts for her, and then I walk around
(26:40):
the corner and he's just absolutely dying with laughter.
But the girl was fine with it, though she wasn't injured.
No girl was. Injured during them?
Yeah, she actually found it quite funny.
Good job you weren't frowning like a bottle of shampoo at her
or something, isn't? It.
Could you imagine? Not so clear.
(27:01):
I could have been a complete different story mate.
Head and shoulders. Yeah.
Yes. OK.
Come on guys. Next question.
Oh, right, if Jack was your teacher at school, do you reckon
you'd survive the week? No.
No. Do you reckon he do you reckon
(27:21):
he had survived a week? No.
I couldn't deal with loads of teenagers bro.
Yeah, neither Brav I've. Gone mad?
Nah, I reckon I'll be a good teacher.
I can relate to the youth. The youth, OK, I feel like he
would be quite a very a teacher to be fair.
I'm I'm cool bro. You'll be friends with Mr.
(27:44):
Goslin, He's ready to go as well.
He's like 7 foot. Jack's certainly friends with
tall people. Why is he mates with me?
He picks and chooses picks. And.
Chooses I've lost where we fucking are.
(28:06):
My Oh, my phone's done a madnessand gone like a week back in our
conversation. Just press the little arrow
bottom right I. Am all right, Listen.
I have to listen. It's a podcast.
So funny when he gets wowed up. What's something that I do or
(28:28):
your dad does that makes you cringe?
Oh my God, everything. What?
As I have stated before some of my dad's posts, I'm like, no,
no, that's not. That's not really like in like
in right now. So I try and help him out.
(28:50):
It's. Not trending.
It's not trending. You're one of them cringy.
You're one of them cringy peopleon socials mate.
Wait, hold up my new TikTok video, right?
Currently nearly 2K views, Yeah.OK. 35 comments, 71 likes Doing
all right. Not bad.
And then Jack's just cringy because he copies all of that.
(29:13):
The younger kids sayings. No, no, no, no.
Listen, listen, little girl. What the hell?
All them sayings that you lot say we made-up.
No, you didn't. Except for the little weird ones
(29:33):
that you come up with now. Like nish Nish.
Oh, the Nish kebab. Well, everything they use apart
from what was brought from America and YouTube.
Yeah, yeah. Next episode Jack and Michael
talk in Oh, I don't like seeing Michael, Jack and Mike talk in
(29:56):
British slang. Yeah, we're not that bad
actually on the podcast. Jack already does it to.
Us. No, I just can't help saying bro
it's just part of my vocabulary.Yeah, same.
Yeah, as she says, Brav, as muchas you, she's like, she comes
home. She's like, dad, you won't
believe what happened, Brav. I'm like, what did you say,
(30:17):
Jack? Yeah, and then Jamie, Jamie says
that it sounds like I'm barking,so she tells me to stop barking.
Yeah, she goes brav. Brav.
No, I just say brav. Yeah, you do.
Sorry. Yes.
(30:38):
Yeah, Brav. All right, if if we let you run
the podcast for a day, what would you change?
Would I change the? Presenters.
Oh my God, what would I change or make everything about me?
(31:03):
No, I'm joking guys. I wouldn't change anything
because I'm nice like that. That's nice, I'll give a
shortest answer. I would change the meaning of T1
day. Why would it mean ash?
(31:29):
I don't know. And she's leaving everyone on a
cliffhanger. In the comments, please put what
you think she was suggesting. It's not very appropriate.
Yeah. Behave.
Behave. Behave.
Matron. Ted.
(31:52):
Ted type one. Oh my God, I made her watch Ted
the other day. Jack is Ted.
Fuck you, funder. Jack is Ted.
Jack's my Ted. Why am I Ted?
What do you think? Because I'm older.
I wished you here, Jack. I just wished you here.
(32:14):
You come alive, man. Oh, my God.
I can't believe it, Mike. Fuck you, funder.
It made me cry 3 times it. Probably made your dad cry 4.
Times No, my dad didn't cry. I was so surprised.
(32:35):
He he cried the first time, trust me.
Oh, did you watch it together? No.
Oh well, all. Right.
My next question, Jack? Have you ever used my dad's
diabetic as an excuse for anything?
Oh. I actually.
Don't think I have. Well, you should.
There's How can I get out of that?
Like how can I use that? I don't know, I'm not even going
(32:57):
to give you ideas. I need to go home because my
dad's diabetic. Oh, my dad's in hospital because
he's diabetic. Oh no, don't say that.
Don't. No.
Have you never heard the boy whocried wolf?
Oh my God, I am the boy who cried wolf.
OK Oh, basically. And there's someone in my school
(33:20):
that's clearly diabetic because I knew you would not recognize
it. No one else knows what the smell
is, but I always smell insulin. Like just walking around at
lunchtime and break time. Oh.
Well, do you speak to them? No, don't know who it is.
They hide it. No face, no case.
Ashley, that's your mission now.Yeah, seek out the diabetic at
(33:41):
school. Do you know what?
Just play. I'm going to give you the Libra
alarm sound. Just walk around playing it
right and you'll find out who itis.
I don't want to. Stick one of my old sensors on
your arm. No, I don't want to.
I'm. Joking.
I'll get infected. Yeah, if we give you a fresh
one. I don't want it in my arm.
That's going to hurt me. Don't hurt you got to put on
(34:05):
your elbow like Jack. Oh, are you taking them in?
Oh shit, she's got elbow. Elbow phobia.
Why do you put it on your elbows?
Oh, you make my elbow so funny. What's 1 secret talent or a
(34:27):
weird habit that you have that we should expose right now?
Talent in itself isn't it? Turn into a dinosaur.
Do your pig noise ash? That's actually really good.
(34:49):
It's so accurate. I'm literally an animal.
But older listeners, Ashley actually has TikTok Tourettes.
No, I don't. Yes you do.
Any TikTok sounds that are currently flying about I should
just walk around the house just.No, I don't.
I have my own phrases. Yeah, like.
(35:12):
Like your bitching us up. That's my favorite one to say to
my dad. We should, we should clip that
Mike and have it as a if a guestis ever getting shirty, we'll
just play it. Yeah, shut your bitch ass up.
Shut your bitch ass up. Meet me outside.
(35:32):
How about that? What?
That's bad, baby. Meet me outside.
How about that? OK.
OK see guys this is what I talk about.
She gets tick tock tourettes. I think sometimes it scares my
dad. I think he thinks I get
possessed. Yeah, I do feel like I'm hype.
Oh I'm I am going hypo. Well, did you ask the questions?
(35:55):
OK, if we made the Ashley Show, what would your first episode be
about? Myself, what?
It was my show. It's going to be about me.
Very true. Yeah, well, I'll give you that
one. It's Mike Pence.
Yeah, man. Oi.
Do you think you can handle being diabetic better than your
(36:16):
dad does? No, I like my snacks.
I like my Kinder Bueno. Well.
I could eat Kinder Bueno right now, by the way.
Wax whacking lift down his throat.
It looks like Kinder Bueno as well.
And I I would faint every time I'd done an injection.
I get too scared to even do thatfinger prick thingy.
(36:38):
Yeah, but for someone that doesn't have to do it, like if I
had a choice, I wouldn't fuckingdo it.
OK, Have you had a choice? No, no.
Obviously not. And I have a choice.
No, actually I don't have a choice because I get told I have
to do it sometimes because my dad goes, oh, I think you're
diabetic sometimes. And I'm like, oh what?
He's always good to check just in case.
Yeah, she gets Moody. No, I don't.
(37:00):
She drinks a lot, she gets really lazy.
That's how mine started. It's always good to be sure.
Shut up. Was that me?
Oh no, I was talking to Jack. Oh.
Because he said I can be diabetic.
Because that's how he started. No, Yeah, science is no in
science. Yeah, science.
I mean it's good to check if youhave symptoms.
You don't want to. Well, it was actually still one
(37:22):
of my biggest fears that one of my kids will get diabetes so.
It's OK. I'm glad.
Next question. Who do you think's a better
diabetic, me or Jack? That's a good question.
Well, no one get offended here. Is any of you going to get
offended? Stop staring into my soul.
I don't like it. Any of you going to get
offended? No, we don't.
(37:44):
We, we don't get offend over anything.
Pretty much you don't. We do, I do.
What do I get offended over? Very so grouchy.
All I said was he gets offended.What do you mean?
What do you mean? You get offended about saying
you'd be offended. OK, anyway, let me answer my
(38:10):
question. Gosh, I probably think my dad,
because he has had it for a lot longer, even though he didn't
look after it properly at first,I feel like he has experienced
it more. So yeah.
Fair answer. Result wise, Jack is better.
(38:30):
But I don't know Brav. That's why I'm focusing my diet
now. Yeah, and it's working though.
Oh my God. My dad used to like.
My dad really likes food guys. Yeah, don't we all?
Yeah, man, he's showing us his thing and it's actually really
good. He's weren't low once today.
(38:50):
Yeah, that's pretty decent, mate.
Mine. Mine's not too good.
It's all right. That's mine.
I've got really bad low symptomsright now.
We've got to. Cut the high clothes.
High pose. Oh lows.
I don't understand that. That annoys me.
Hypo, you're low. Why are you calling it high?
High. Because hypoglycemia.
(39:12):
Hypoglycemia. Oh my God, Winds.
We call it low because it's justyou're low, isn't it?
Yeah, low. Yeah.
It really annoys me though because every time I hear hyper
I'm like OK they're high all. Right.
All right, Ash, what technical terms of diabetes do you know?
(39:35):
High. Low hypo no.
Doubt. Yeah, Yeah.
All right. Yeah.
But it confuses me. I know the long lasting or as
they said, Basil. Basil.
Yeah, insulin, pancreas. No pancreas.
(39:55):
No pancreas isn't it. It just don't work.
No. But.
Do you, Do you not shit it out? Shit.
It out. No.
It's still there, yes. You still have a pancreas, it
just doesn't produce the like your pancreas is something that
produces your insulin and it just doesn't produce your
(40:18):
insulin. So you still have a pancreas, it
just doesn't do the job. We.
Shit it out. Yeah.
I don't need you anymore. That was not a real fault, by
the way. That was his mouth.
It sounds like you're crying, Dad.
(40:44):
Oh my God. Look at look at my eyes, sash.
It's OK, Dad. I show my pancreas.
No, I'm type 1 diabetic. Moving on swiftly.
All right, what what annoys you about diabetes?
(41:07):
Hi, I hate it. What?
When am I? Yeah, I think at the moment
because like we have banter, youdon't really get that angry
anymore. Like you've learnt to tolerate
me annoying you so much better. What When am I?
Yeah, normally it would just be snappy, snappy, snappy.
(41:30):
But now it's like breathe, breathe, breathe, snap.
Yeah. What else annoys me?
When he used to squirt his insulin at me, he didn't like
that. Such a black thing to do.
Yeah, he does it. He didn't to all of us.
Closest person to him is gettingsprayed with insulin.
(41:51):
You're not supposed to waste it,Mike.
You know. You know, the bit you squirt off
before an injection? Yeah, don't worry people, He's
not using it as a water pistol. No, no, no.
Yes. That's a good question.
Has anyone else done that to like partners or loved ones or
family? Like, just have you done it to
(42:11):
Zoe Jack? Yeah, quite a few times both.
OK, it ain't just me because I'mstarting to feel bad.
There's been quite a few times where I've squirted it and you
watch it and it goes in like it's gone In Zoe's drink.
She just looks at me and goes. Don't feel I'm going to drink
now. Probably best not to.
What happens? What happens if you don't?
(42:33):
Probably nothing, but you never know.
You'd get extra to insulin. Oh she wouldn't?
Yeah, she wouldn't need it. So technically it could cause a
hypo. I highly doubt, I highly doubt
it, but. I doubt it as well, but.
Or maybe a lopo? A lopo.
Yeah. I'm having a lopo.
(42:54):
No, that sounds so much better, Dad.
Can you start using that insteadplease?
What a Lobo. Yeah.
We do have our own terms. Going low pole down here.
Help. Me I.
I don't know what what has happened to this episode.
(43:18):
I don't even know, I just started doing backflips.
Oh. Really.
Oh my God. Oh, I love my brother.
Why? He just gave me a happy hippo in
the boiler. That's.
Nice, don't give one to his dad who's going hypo.
(43:39):
I'm dying in this room 0. Yeah.
Oh, Dad's going hypo. Oh.
Sorry, he's got he's got a lopo.Going lopo Dad's sorry you are
not getting my happy hippo mate.But it'd take too long anyway,
probably. No, because it's kind of Werner.
(43:59):
It's a creamy bit. Oh, actually I've got a good
question for you. Hold on.
What did you do if you saw someone going very low in public
but you weren't sure if it was diabetes related or if they were
drunk? I would just assume they were
drunk, so I'd run the other way.There.
I'm scared of drunk men in public.
(44:20):
That no, that that's. How about let let me reword it
because I I probably won't go over and help someone who's
drunk and I'm diabeting myself. Let's face it.
I'm going low OK. I'm struggling to get no.
If if you sort of random member of public on the floor who
looked like they was going hyperand then you spotted they had a
(44:42):
sensor on their arm, would you go and help?
Oh yeah, because like, pay it forward in it.
What? Pay it, pay it forward like say
because if that was my dad in that position and no one helped
him then I would be like OK you're all bitches I hate you
(45:02):
all. OK.
Yeah. So that's nice.
So basically like do to people how you would like other people
to treat you basically. Yeah, but I'm not diabetic, so
not how they treat me. No, but if you'd like, you would
like someone, if they saw your dad out in public who needed
help, you would like someone to go and help them, obviously.
So you would go and help someoneelse?
Otherwise every single one of them is getting their ass
(45:23):
beaten. Fairpoint.
Yep. Yep, Yep.
I'd call an ambulance. You'd call an ambulance.
Yeah, that's good. And I want to.
Get them a sugary drink and callambulance.
I would give them a Red Bull. Yeah, that's very good.
(45:45):
Yeah, Red Bull, Coke, Luke said.Anything.
Cocaine. I'm actually quite addicted to
Red Bulls at the moment. It says you go game and you go
off Addicted to Red Bulls. Oh my days.
Right. Anyways, guys, this episode,

All right, welcome back to the We RT 1D Podcast, the podcast
where two grown men try and navigate life with type 1
diabetes and occasionally get told off by teenagers.
Very occasionally, mate, I feel like today's guest is ready to
roast us. This episode is a little bit
different because we've handed the mic over to someone who
(00:21):
knows diabetes from the sidelines, but knows me and Mike
better than anyone. Yep, she's seen me at my worst,
including mid hypo zombie mode. She's clever, cheeky and
brutally honest. It's my daughter, Ashley.
Hello, guys, I've got a list of questions that I'm going to ask
(00:43):
these two. I'm not holding back, by the
way, so you're going to get all the juicy gossip that you want.
Oh. Good.
Well, fantastic. I can't wait, said no dad and
pod card host ever. No, we definitely can.
But so today we're switching things up.
Ashley's in charge, asking us about diabetes, the podcast,
(01:05):
embarrassing stories, and we might turn a few questions back
on her too. You've.
Been warned, Ash. Everybody's coming.
Let's get into it. This is the WE RT 1D Ashley
Takeover. Welcome to the We Are T1D
podcast. The Realist Type 1 Diabetes
(01:28):
podcast online hosted by myself Mike diagnosed at the age of 10.
And myself, Jack diagnosed at the age of 30.
We are just two mates giving youan insight into life with this
chronic condition. Yes, we are adults and although
we try not to swear, it may happen occasionally.
Yeah, as Jack said, we are adults, but please take what we
(01:51):
say as guidance and not medical advice.
No, trust me, we are not doctors.
We are just here to make sure notype 1 diabetic ever, ever feels
alone. Do you get started with the
first question? Yeah, let's go all.
Right guys, have either of you ever met a listener in person?
(02:12):
No, I haven't. Fair enough.
I have friends that are listeners, but then also
randomly I was at work and then one of our listeners called Ryan
come in the shop and he's like, you're right, Mike.
And at that time I was proper hypo as well.
Oh. Yeah, I remember.
So yeah, technically I have. Oh, that's so lovely, Dad.
(02:36):
Would be nice to meet everyone. I don't think that's possible.
Yeah, guys, T1D meet and greet coming soon.
No, I'm. Not it's the big meet up this
summer. Now wait when they hear a
certain amount of listeners thenthey will do a meet and greet.
Sponsored by not me. Sponsored by Lyft.
(02:58):
That's pretty much like the podcast sponsored by Not Me.
Someone someone clipped this Lyft sponsor them.
OK. Are you guys ready for Question
2? Oh yeah, yes, we are.
OK, what's the most random placeyou've done an injection?
What? Most random place.
(03:21):
I've done several in weird places, football stadiums and
the middle of concerts. Concerts.
Oh, what else are they called? Concerts.
A concert. Concert.
It's a concert. Oh my God.
Concert. It's a concert.
(03:45):
What Dad? Where else have I the middle of
the street trains? There's quite several weird
places. You know.
What I find funny. Go on.
Jack's like never been scared todo his injections anywhere, but
when my dad always used to be like really scared, he only does
it around people. Well, now he's a lot better with
(04:05):
it, but before he would only do it around certain people and he
would hide it. To be fair, my weirdest places
are every toilet around the world.
Every toilet. Yeah, well, near enough.
You've done the rounds, didn't you?
Yeah. Boat travels toilet to toilet.
(04:25):
But I am better now. You're right, Ash.
Next question, what is your go to hypo snack or snacks?
Mine varies. At the moment it's squashes.
Squashes that used to be my dad's.
They are good. Yeah, I've been through a whole
list. At the moment I'm just having
lifts, mainly because I can control them a bit better and
(04:49):
I'm trying to control my eating at the moment, so yeah.
Yeah, see, I used and once again, baby, baby size,
everything's baby size. He just showed the camera, but
it's just audio, so just like you guys know.
That I always do it it's a habitdon't come in here and start
like giving it boss and that tonight I've been doing a
podcast for 33 years bro I'm. Just telling them because they
(05:12):
can't see the thing. It's only been 2.
Yeah, isn't it? Sorry it feels like longer.
It does. What the hell?
OK, I'm going to get involved with that question too.
My favourites is the sweet and spicy Cheetos and kinda bueno.
Why? Oh, kinda bueno.
(05:32):
Is that good? I used to use them a lot.
Yeah. I actually I actually know for a
fact 11 long kinda bueno is only10 grams of carbs.
That's lovely. That was so patronizing.
So Ashley, when you go low, you don't have to eat 5.
(05:53):
Oh, you only have to eat 1. One.
One finger. I must be bare high all the
time. No, you have a pancreas.
Oh. Yeah.
Oh my God, sometimes I tease my dad about not having a pancreas
so I just find it funny. Just torture.
It wins me every argument, but how is bro creating a baby with
(06:16):
a pancreas if he doesn't have one?
It's awesome. I'm joking.
I'm joking. And guys, This is why I need a
sense of humor in my life. No, because I get mine from you.
And it's a good job. I've got 1.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Not a pancreas though. Now joke was crying earlier
because I said something rude tohim.
(06:38):
That's nice. I didn't even know what I said.
Next question. Next question, do you 2 ever get
competitive about your time in range?
No, because I got sick of losing.
Yeah, but funnily enough, you chucked the town in on doing
(07:00):
that just as mine was starting to go down the pants that you
could have had the glory for a couple of months.
I know, but it's just not worth it.
Oh my God bro does not like losing.
Often we could get paid if over everything else apart from
diabetes. Yeah, because it's personal.
(07:21):
Oh, is that your thing to bond on?
Yeah, bonding bondings. Next question what's the
weirdest thing someone has said to you about diabetes?
To For me it was having a child say, how can you produce a baby
with a pancreas when you haven'tgot one yourself?
(07:42):
Hey, was that me? Yeah.
Oh I got confused. Where?
Oh my God. That's definitely up there.
Yeah, mine's the mine's always going to be the conspiracy
theory. What's up?
Someone someone told me that diabetes was all a conspiracy.
Kind of funny. Yeah, awful.
(08:03):
So basically, the man was telling me that diabetes was
made-up so pharmaceutical companies can sell insulin and
make money. I would say something rude but I
think I can't say it on the podcast.
No, I I, I said something rude. Trust me.
(08:24):
Yeah, my mum told me you guys make a lot of inappropriate
jokes towards each other. That's just men being men.
Oh, bears. Manly things.
Yeah, that's just, that's just how friends, that's just how man
friends speak to each other. Friends, man friends.
Oh my God, we're always with this little little I don't even
(08:46):
know. Next question.
Yeah, Next question. If your diabetes was a person,
what would you say to her? Their brains are ticking.
Why you no work? I said.
Yeah, I was going to say fuckingbehave.
Go on holiday. Leave me alone for one minute.
(09:10):
Oh, that's, that's good. I don't know what to say.
Next. OK, what has been your favorite
episode of the podcast so far? That's a good question.
I know. How many episodes were you even
(09:31):
done now mate? Mate it's way over 100 it.
Isn't it? It's probably over 200 now.
It probably is. Oh my God, I mean so far.
The the episode sticks in my face.
I think it's one of the. Sticks in your face?
Do you mean your head? It's because of what I'm
thinking about what I'm going tosay.
It's probably when Jack was first in his diagnosis story and
(09:56):
Jack, Jack goes, my mate was coming all over my face or
something crazy. What I can't remember it word by
word, but it's it's, it's just, there's loads of moments like
this that just caught me out andI've it's anything.
To send me in. I'm trying to pick one but
there's so many running through my head at the moment and I
(10:18):
it's. There's so many little men
running through his hand. Do you I I remember the episode
that got scrapped that didn't even make the archives because
my back was so hypo it just could not go out.
Oh my God. That's probably somewhere on
your dad's computer. Somewhere it's got to be.
(10:39):
Guys, I'm going to hunt it and I'm going to post it.
No, it went into outtakes, didn't it?
That's when we started the outtakes.
Yes, I think the majority of it did go into the antics, Yeah,
because he was actually running around the house.
He wasn't. He wasn't podcasted at all, he
was up running around doing whathypo mic usually does.
(11:03):
Was I at DS? Yeah.
Oh my God, what the hell. Gosh.
Well, you know what I'm like I. Was trying to have a
conversation with you and he wasjust going, Oh my God, look at
this. Oh my God, But he's like a
little toddler. I do, I turn like a little kid
when I'm hypo. It's really weird.
(11:23):
You turn like a little kid all the time anyway.
Yeah, I will grow up. Who would be your dream guest on
your podcast? Dream guest on my podcast.
You know how that mean? Dream guest on my podcast?
No JoJo Siwa. No.
Oh, and she the loom bag of. I'm a comeback like a bone
(11:44):
meringue, JoJo Bobo. JoJo Bobo.
JoJo Bobo like, oh, it's OK. Who would you have as a guest
man? Who would you be all go to?
I can't. My, I've always said it, it's
Gary Maber, isn't? It Oh yeah, your childhood pen
(12:04):
pal. But yeah, but from what I've
heard about him now, I don't think I'd want him on here.
Oh, fair enough. Do you know who I'd pick?
Who? Who?
Luke the horse. Is that the one in the yard?
Yeah. You ain't going to say Marsh, is
he? Oh my God, he will nay bogey or
(12:24):
views up. I'm still trying to think of 1.
I really don't know. The side man.
The side man. Side men.
They're not side. Men.
Can you do it? Yeah, but can you just get
famous so I can meet them, please?
I wish it was that easy. Yeah, me too.
It's OK guys, I'll do it. We're.
Trying one of them makes music but he's not that good so I'm
(12:45):
not really in contact. ASI Big Star's a DJ.
It's the 1230. Next question, Ash?
OK, next question. Well, Jack didn't even answer
that one, but it's OK, Jack. Yeah, I can't think.
I don't know. I don't know who I'd pick.
I honestly don't know who I'd have as a guest.
(13:05):
He's just happy to be here with my dad.
Pretty. Much.
Oh, such a cute little moment. So wholesome.
What's one thing that each of you do that really winds you up?
There was one one thing that other person does that really
winds you up. It's not a lot, really.
(13:26):
No, there ain't actually a lot. No, there's got to be something.
Apart from going hypo in the middle of an episode.
Dig deep. There's got to be something.
I could actually say we get on well from my perspective.
Do we do? Yeah, we do.
We do. I don't think we don't spend in
like we're not them sort of friends that we even though we
(13:47):
should do, but I don't think we spend enough time actually with
each other to annoy each other. Yeah, so every time we talk,
it's like a catch up more than anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, nothing. Our relationships solid.
Oh my God, sassy pants. OK guys, I tried to get the tea
(14:12):
for you but it didn't work. What is the best or funniest
listener message you have received?
The monkey that stole the rice. And also the dinosaur.
The kid that was a dinosaur. Oh, that was hilarious.
I think I've heard both of these, you know.
(14:34):
That was hilarious. Yeah, the listener stories they
were. Bring back the dinosaur.
I get my own personal podcast asyou flip a waffle into me.
Yep, you get one 24/7 as you're lucky.
There you go live. I'm sorry.
(14:55):
OK, dad, if you had to do the podcast without talking about
diabetes, what would you talk about?
Life. Your life is diabetes.
Yeah, but if. Diabetes weren't there.
My life would be a lot more interesting.
Could be, yeah. Or would it be a lot more
dollar? Don't know.
Dollar, Dollar. He's the entertainment.
(15:15):
Yeah, it's our niche, exactly. Oh my God, wait, how do you know
that word? Because we're because we're
older than you. Well no, I said it to my dad the
other day and didn't know it. Have you searched up?
Niche. Yeah, niche.
That's why I didn't know what you was talking about, because
you said niche. No, no.
No, no, no, wait. Oh, sad new kebab.
(15:36):
Niche means like nothing. No niche is like your personal
category like. Oh well, I meant.
Yeah, I know that. I meant a Nish.
What's the name? Nish Kebab.
Oh, nish kebab. Oh I have two nish kebab.
Oh please. Guys.
(15:56):
Yeah. Stop it.
Sorry, next question. OK, if you had to pick any theme
song or theme tune for the podcast, what would it be?
Rosie and Jim. Rosie and Jen what?
Well, change it to Jack and Mike.
Wait. Sing it.
(16:18):
Sing. It Rosie and Jim.
Rosie and Jim. Jack and Mike Jack.
And Mike, next week guys, the intro might change for a one off
episode. Oh my God, did you guys do an
April Fools episode? Yeah, I scared Jack, didn't I?
(16:38):
Oh, no, that was Halloween. No, we didn't.
Oh, you missed out on opportunities, Brav.
Yeah, well, we haven't got an agent or PR or anything.
It's just our sash. Oh, OK.
I'll be your agent. Thanks.
Cheers. You're welcome.
You can start by taking over thesocials.
Yeah. Oh, I actually could, you know,
(16:59):
because sometimes I get a bit cringed out by what my dad
posts. You're not taking over my
personal one. It would be if we are T1T1, both
of them. I love my cringy shit, thank you
very much. No.
OK, this is a juicy one. Have you ever fancied a diabetic
(17:22):
nurse or doctor? No, Bob wasn't my type.
Do you both have Bob? Yeah.
Oh my God, is Bob a man? Yeah.
OK, but you like that? He's a nice bloke.
OK, And Jack's silently laughing.
(17:47):
Guys, just to let you know, Jackis laughing.
He does find this funny, but it's just not ready.
Guys where Jack's laugh is so high pitched.
The mic cuts it out. I can't help.
It he gets demonetised. Are you ready for the next
question, guys? Yes, well, it's a weird habit
(18:09):
that you have that nobody knows.I take a slice of toast to work
every morning, and nine times out of 10 I don't even eat it.
OK. That's pretty weird.
Yeah. And he straps the seat belt on
it. Or he just has a little toast
friend. Yeah, little toast.
(18:31):
He's in company. Comes with me every day to work,
stays there till about 10:00 andif my bloods don't go alone and
my insulin don't work, it comes in the Bush and the birds have
it. Oh, that's so kind.
My weird habit is I don't reallypay attention to my basil what I
put in. Basil.
My, you know, my night time and my morning one, it's around 20.
It's either high or low. It's just I've.
(18:54):
Never heard Basil before. You've never mentioned.
That my long lasting oh. OK.
Yeah. So that's what it calls it.
Yeah. Jack, maybe that's your hidden
talent war the weird habit. What is it?
Would you survive a zombie apocalypse together?
Yeah, yeah. Do you know how many zombie
(19:15):
fighting games I've got? Absolutely not.
You 2 have not survived together.
Next question. Do you know how many?
How many needles might must have?
Because he never changes. I do.
I'm good. Now look.
Has he got a full up sharp spin?Is he going to fall off his
(19:36):
chair? He.
Looks like it. So if we can't hear it shake
over the thing, I heard it shake.
Yeah, condense the mic mate. Oh yeah.
OK, anyway, next question. What would you do if you woke up
as each other for a day? Fix my fucking basil?
(19:56):
No, I'd I'd fix my basil rate. You would like being tall.
I would, yeah. You just walk around grabbing
things off top shelves for the sake of it.
Yeah, and you put things on bottom shelf just piss me off.
Thank you. OK, next question, This is a
very easy one. Even I know the question because
(20:18):
our dad complaints about it to me and it takes longer to get
ready for the podcast me. Yeah, Stephanie, Jack.
Yeah, the amount of times my dadsaid to me meant to be filming
the podcast right now, but Jack isn't even here yet.
Jack's doing this. Jack's doing that.
No. Do you know why?
Because my bath takes forever torun.
Well, run it earlier then. But I can't because I don't get
(20:41):
in earlier, do I? Well then get off work earlier.
Oh, I wish that I had to do on you.
Wait till you start going to work.
I'm trying to He just caught a flyer by the way, guys.
Yeah, I did like Mr. Miyagi. Yeah, yeah, chopsticks.
Oh dude. Didn't he used his hands?
They're lying to you. No, my hands are chopsticks.
(21:06):
But the listeners Jack just pinched his finger and his thumb
together. What the hell did everyone's
listeners? Because no one can watch it.
No it's OK. What's the biggest tech disaster
you have had whilst filming? My computer completely crashing.
Actually, every everything fallsinto Jack's category here, so
(21:28):
his webcam broke. Yes.
Wi-Fi cuts out mid episode with a guest.
Yep. Old snap.
Didn't you mic break as well at some point?
No, we recorded for several months on our old hosting
platform and I had auto gain on my microphone so we thought my
(21:50):
mic was broken so I bought a newone and then realized the auto
game was on so I switched it off.
That was it. What's the auto gain?
It makes you a mic louder. Oh no.
Yeah, so I thought my mic was broke.
And I just thought he was shouting at me.
Oh my God. OK, there is 2 questions left
(22:13):
guys. Let's go.
If you were to swap browse, for example, Jack edits and Dad, you
just you're just there for the ride.
How would it go? Not very well, because we tried
it. Yeah, I know.
Then I can't edit. Yeah.
It's OK, you'll learn. Practice makes perfect.
(22:36):
That's the attitude, Ash you. Sound like your dad.
I am his daughter. Yeah, she's here's a mini me.
It's quite scary, but last one, Ash.
Last one, if you started your own podcast about each other,
(22:56):
what would you call it? You've already thought about
that, mate. Well, start my own podcast.
I was going to do a Like a Storyone, weren't I?
Diabetic and lonely. No, that's just really sad.
It's sad. No, because you're like, not
together. Yeah, Oh my God, I am T1D alone.
Well, that is such. That just doesn't sound right,
(23:19):
does it? No, I I wouldn't do a diabetes
podcast by myself. Oh my God, this is so cute.
Yeah, you'll have no one to talkto.
That'll be boring. Yeah, like I said, there's
nothing to talk about. There's no one to talk to.
Yeah, you need that Bing bang bong.
Bing. Bang, you know.
Where it goes back and forward. Yeah, that's exactly what we
(23:41):
have. Bing bang bong.
I didn't know what to call it. You know, like ricochet Bing
bang bong. Ricochet.
Who's he? The Irish, mate.
I know, right? So Ash, Ash, you're dumb, mate.
We're flipping the script on youright now.
(24:02):
Oh, snap. Right.
Be honest. Who's your favorite, me or Jack?
Well, my dad. Yes, let's have it.
Such such a biased question. Yeah, I know.
I thought I'd start easy, you know?
What? You annoy me?
Jack's always beefing me, bruv. I'm fine.
(24:26):
We then we'll settle it. I come home from school and he
just starts putting his middle fingers up at me.
I think it starts the other way around.
Yeah, it does. I don't think it does.
Right. Next question.
We'll settle this after the podcast.
OK, I can't even do it back. What's the most embarrassing
(24:50):
thing? You're dead.
You're dead. What's the most embarrassing
thing your dad's done in public?Oh my God, where do I flip and
start? The amount of times he's going
gone round shops, picking up random stuff and just, I don't
know, just being weird. The amount of times I've had to
(25:12):
lead him around because he's like gone hypo and he's not know
what he's doing. He's just picking up every bit
of food. He sees insight and I've had to
be like, no, what are you doing?And literally, sometimes I feel
like roles are reversed. I'm his dad and he's my
daughter. I don't know, it's just a bit
(25:35):
strange. There's many I think.
Yeah. There is probably more, but I
don't have a very good memory. I'm kind of like a dolphin.
You know what? I have another thing that my dad
has done in public that I completely forgot about before
we were in. I think it was either Boots or
(25:56):
Savers. I don't know, but he was really,
really. Like, chuckle Mike, I think you
know what's coming, yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was really,
really low and we were in there because I needed more cotton
pads. So my dad runs ahead, whatnot.
We're like, OK, he must be goingto get the cotton pads for me.
(26:19):
Yeah. He goes around the corner, but
like, Oh yeah, yeah, he's not going to do anything.
Some girls walking in front of me.
Yeah. My dad thought it was me, throws
a packet of cotton pads, acts for her, and then I walk around
(26:40):
the corner and he's just absolutely dying with laughter.
But the girl was fine with it, though she wasn't injured.
No girl was. Injured during them?
Yeah, she actually found it quite funny.
Good job you weren't frowning like a bottle of shampoo at her
or something, isn't? It.
Could you imagine? Not so clear.
(27:01):
I could have been a complete different story mate.
Head and shoulders. Yeah.
Yes. OK.
Come on guys. Next question.
Oh, right, if Jack was your teacher at school, do you reckon
you'd survive the week? No.
No. Do you reckon he do you reckon
(27:21):
he had survived a week? No.
I couldn't deal with loads of teenagers bro.
Yeah, neither Brav I've. Gone mad?
Nah, I reckon I'll be a good teacher.
I can relate to the youth. The youth, OK, I feel like he
would be quite a very a teacher to be fair.
I'm I'm cool bro. You'll be friends with Mr.
(27:44):
Goslin, He's ready to go as well.
He's like 7 foot. Jack's certainly friends with
tall people. Why is he mates with me?
He picks and chooses picks. And.
Chooses I've lost where we fucking are.
(28:06):
My Oh, my phone's done a madnessand gone like a week back in our
conversation. Just press the little arrow
bottom right I. Am all right, Listen.
I have to listen. It's a podcast.
So funny when he gets wowed up. What's something that I do or
(28:28):
your dad does that makes you cringe?
Oh my God, everything. What?
As I have stated before some of my dad's posts, I'm like, no,
no, that's not. That's not really like in like
in right now. So I try and help him out.
(28:50):
It's. Not trending.
It's not trending. You're one of them cringy.
You're one of them cringy peopleon socials mate.
Wait, hold up my new TikTok video, right?
Currently nearly 2K views, Yeah.OK. 35 comments, 71 likes Doing
all right. Not bad.
And then Jack's just cringy because he copies all of that.
(29:13):
The younger kids sayings. No, no, no, no.
Listen, listen, little girl. What the hell?
All them sayings that you lot say we made-up.
No, you didn't. Except for the little weird ones
(29:33):
that you come up with now. Like nish Nish.
Oh, the Nish kebab. Well, everything they use apart
from what was brought from America and YouTube.
Yeah, yeah. Next episode Jack and Michael
talk in Oh, I don't like seeing Michael, Jack and Mike talk in
(29:56):
British slang. Yeah, we're not that bad
actually on the podcast. Jack already does it to.
Us. No, I just can't help saying bro
it's just part of my vocabulary.Yeah, same.
Yeah, as she says, Brav, as muchas you, she's like, she comes
home. She's like, dad, you won't
believe what happened, Brav. I'm like, what did you say,
(30:17):
Jack? Yeah, and then Jamie, Jamie says
that it sounds like I'm barking,so she tells me to stop barking.
Yeah, she goes brav. Brav.
No, I just say brav. Yeah, you do.
Sorry. Yes.
(30:38):
Yeah, Brav. All right, if if we let you run
the podcast for a day, what would you change?
Would I change the? Presenters.
Oh my God, what would I change or make everything about me?
(31:03):
No, I'm joking guys. I wouldn't change anything
because I'm nice like that. That's nice, I'll give a
shortest answer. I would change the meaning of T1
day. Why would it mean ash?
(31:29):
I don't know. And she's leaving everyone on a
cliffhanger. In the comments, please put what
you think she was suggesting. It's not very appropriate.
Yeah. Behave.
Behave. Behave.
Matron. Ted.
(31:52):
Ted type one. Oh my God, I made her watch Ted
the other day. Jack is Ted.
Fuck you, funder. Jack is Ted.
Jack's my Ted. Why am I Ted?
What do you think? Because I'm older.
I wished you here, Jack. I just wished you here.
(32:14):
You come alive, man. Oh, my God.
I can't believe it, Mike. Fuck you, funder.
It made me cry 3 times it. Probably made your dad cry 4.
Times No, my dad didn't cry. I was so surprised.
(32:35):
He he cried the first time, trust me.
Oh, did you watch it together? No.
Oh well, all. Right.
My next question, Jack? Have you ever used my dad's
diabetic as an excuse for anything?
Oh. I actually.
Don't think I have. Well, you should.
There's How can I get out of that?
Like how can I use that? I don't know, I'm not even going
(32:57):
to give you ideas. I need to go home because my
dad's diabetic. Oh, my dad's in hospital because
he's diabetic. Oh no, don't say that.
Don't. No.
Have you never heard the boy whocried wolf?
Oh my God, I am the boy who cried wolf.
OK Oh, basically. And there's someone in my school
(33:20):
that's clearly diabetic because I knew you would not recognize
it. No one else knows what the smell
is, but I always smell insulin. Like just walking around at
lunchtime and break time. Oh.
Well, do you speak to them? No, don't know who it is.
They hide it. No face, no case.
Ashley, that's your mission now.Yeah, seek out the diabetic at
(33:41):
school. Do you know what?
Just play. I'm going to give you the Libra
alarm sound. Just walk around playing it
right and you'll find out who itis.
I don't want to. Stick one of my old sensors on
your arm. No, I don't want to.
I'm. Joking.
I'll get infected. Yeah, if we give you a fresh
one. I don't want it in my arm.
That's going to hurt me. Don't hurt you got to put on
(34:05):
your elbow like Jack. Oh, are you taking them in?
Oh shit, she's got elbow. Elbow phobia.
Why do you put it on your elbows?
Oh, you make my elbow so funny. What's 1 secret talent or a
(34:27):
weird habit that you have that we should expose right now?
Talent in itself isn't it? Turn into a dinosaur.
Do your pig noise ash? That's actually really good.
(34:49):
It's so accurate. I'm literally an animal.
But older listeners, Ashley actually has TikTok Tourettes.
No, I don't. Yes you do.
Any TikTok sounds that are currently flying about I should
just walk around the house just.No, I don't.
I have my own phrases. Yeah, like.
(35:12):
Like your bitching us up. That's my favorite one to say to
my dad. We should, we should clip that
Mike and have it as a if a guestis ever getting shirty, we'll
just play it. Yeah, shut your bitch ass up.
Shut your bitch ass up. Meet me outside.
(35:32):
How about that? What?
That's bad, baby. Meet me outside.
How about that? OK.
OK see guys this is what I talk about.
She gets tick tock tourettes. I think sometimes it scares my
dad. I think he thinks I get
possessed. Yeah, I do feel like I'm hype.
Oh I'm I am going hypo. Well, did you ask the questions?
(35:55):
OK, if we made the Ashley Show, what would your first episode be
about? Myself, what?
It was my show. It's going to be about me.
Very true. Yeah, well, I'll give you that
one. It's Mike Pence.
Yeah, man. Oi.
Do you think you can handle being diabetic better than your
(36:16):
dad does? No, I like my snacks.
I like my Kinder Bueno. Well.
I could eat Kinder Bueno right now, by the way.
Wax whacking lift down his throat.
It looks like Kinder Bueno as well.
And I I would faint every time I'd done an injection.
I get too scared to even do thatfinger prick thingy.
(36:38):
Yeah, but for someone that doesn't have to do it, like if I
had a choice, I wouldn't fuckingdo it.
OK, Have you had a choice? No, no.
Obviously not. And I have a choice.
No, actually I don't have a choice because I get told I have
to do it sometimes because my dad goes, oh, I think you're
diabetic sometimes. And I'm like, oh what?
He's always good to check just in case.
Yeah, she gets Moody. No, I don't.
(37:00):
She drinks a lot, she gets really lazy.
That's how mine started. It's always good to be sure.
Shut up. Was that me?
Oh no, I was talking to Jack. Oh.
Because he said I can be diabetic.
Because that's how he started. No, Yeah, science is no in
science. Yeah, science.
I mean it's good to check if youhave symptoms.
You don't want to. Well, it was actually still one
(37:22):
of my biggest fears that one of my kids will get diabetes so.
It's OK. I'm glad.
Next question. Who do you think's a better
diabetic, me or Jack? That's a good question.
Well, no one get offended here. Is any of you going to get
offended? Stop staring into my soul.
I don't like it. Any of you going to get
offended? No, we don't.
(37:44):
We, we don't get offend over anything.
Pretty much you don't. We do, I do.
What do I get offended over? Very so grouchy.
All I said was he gets offended.What do you mean?
What do you mean? You get offended about saying
you'd be offended. OK, anyway, let me answer my
(38:10):
question. Gosh, I probably think my dad,
because he has had it for a lot longer, even though he didn't
look after it properly at first,I feel like he has experienced
it more. So yeah.
Fair answer. Result wise, Jack is better.
(38:30):
But I don't know Brav. That's why I'm focusing my diet
now. Yeah, and it's working though.
Oh my God. My dad used to like.
My dad really likes food guys. Yeah, don't we all?
Yeah, man, he's showing us his thing and it's actually really
good. He's weren't low once today.
(38:50):
Yeah, that's pretty decent, mate.
Mine. Mine's not too good.
It's all right. That's mine.
I've got really bad low symptomsright now.
We've got to. Cut the high clothes.
High pose. Oh lows.
I don't understand that. That annoys me.
Hypo, you're low. Why are you calling it high?
High. Because hypoglycemia.
(39:12):
Hypoglycemia. Oh my God, Winds.
We call it low because it's justyou're low, isn't it?
Yeah, low. Yeah.
It really annoys me though because every time I hear hyper
I'm like OK they're high all. Right.
All right, Ash, what technical terms of diabetes do you know?
(39:35):
High. Low hypo no.
Doubt. Yeah, Yeah.
All right. Yeah.
But it confuses me. I know the long lasting or as
they said, Basil. Basil.
Yeah, insulin, pancreas. No pancreas.
(39:55):
No pancreas isn't it. It just don't work.
No. But.
Do you, Do you not shit it out? Shit.
It out. No.
It's still there, yes. You still have a pancreas, it
just doesn't produce the like your pancreas is something that
produces your insulin and it just doesn't produce your
(40:18):
insulin. So you still have a pancreas, it
just doesn't do the job. We.
Shit it out. Yeah.
I don't need you anymore. That was not a real fault, by
the way. That was his mouth.
It sounds like you're crying, Dad.
(40:44):
Oh my God. Look at look at my eyes, sash.
It's OK, Dad. I show my pancreas.
No, I'm type 1 diabetic. Moving on swiftly.
All right, what what annoys you about diabetes?
(41:07):
Hi, I hate it. What?
When am I? Yeah, I think at the moment
because like we have banter, youdon't really get that angry
anymore. Like you've learnt to tolerate
me annoying you so much better. What When am I?
Yeah, normally it would just be snappy, snappy, snappy.
(41:30):
But now it's like breathe, breathe, breathe, snap.
Yeah. What else annoys me?
When he used to squirt his insulin at me, he didn't like
that. Such a black thing to do.
Yeah, he does it. He didn't to all of us.
Closest person to him is gettingsprayed with insulin.
(41:51):
You're not supposed to waste it,Mike.
You know. You know, the bit you squirt off
before an injection? Yeah, don't worry people, He's
not using it as a water pistol. No, no, no.
Yes. That's a good question.
Has anyone else done that to like partners or loved ones or
family? Like, just have you done it to
(42:11):
Zoe Jack? Yeah, quite a few times both.
OK, it ain't just me because I'mstarting to feel bad.
There's been quite a few times where I've squirted it and you
watch it and it goes in like it's gone In Zoe's drink.
She just looks at me and goes. Don't feel I'm going to drink
now. Probably best not to.
What happens? What happens if you don't?
(42:33):
Probably nothing, but you never know.
You'd get extra to insulin. Oh she wouldn't?
Yeah, she wouldn't need it. So technically it could cause a
hypo. I highly doubt, I highly doubt
it, but. I doubt it as well, but.
Or maybe a lopo? A lopo.
Yeah. I'm having a lopo.
(42:54):
No, that sounds so much better, Dad.
Can you start using that insteadplease?
What a Lobo. Yeah.
We do have our own terms. Going low pole down here.
Help. Me I.
I don't know what what has happened to this episode.
(43:18):
I don't even know, I just started doing backflips.
Oh. Really.
Oh my God. Oh, I love my brother.
Why? He just gave me a happy hippo in
the boiler. That's.
Nice, don't give one to his dad who's going hypo.
(43:39):
I'm dying in this room 0. Yeah.
Oh, Dad's going hypo. Oh.
Sorry, he's got he's got a lopo.Going lopo Dad's sorry you are
not getting my happy hippo mate.But it'd take too long anyway,
probably. No, because it's kind of Werner.
(43:59):
It's a creamy bit. Oh, actually I've got a good
question for you. Hold on.
What did you do if you saw someone going very low in public
but you weren't sure if it was diabetes related or if they were
drunk? I would just assume they were
drunk, so I'd run the other way.There.
I'm scared of drunk men in public.
(44:20):
That no, that that's. How about let let me reword it
because I I probably won't go over and help someone who's
drunk and I'm diabeting myself. Let's face it.
I'm going low OK. I'm struggling to get no.
If if you sort of random member of public on the floor who
looked like they was going hyperand then you spotted they had a
(44:42):
sensor on their arm, would you go and help?
Oh yeah, because like, pay it forward in it.
What? Pay it, pay it forward like say
because if that was my dad in that position and no one helped
him then I would be like OK you're all bitches I hate you
(45:02):
all. OK.
Yeah. So that's nice.
So basically like do to people how you would like other people
to treat you basically. Yeah, but I'm not diabetic, so
not how they treat me. No, but if you'd like, you would
like someone, if they saw your dad out in public who needed
help, you would like someone to go and help them, obviously.
So you would go and help someoneelse?
Otherwise every single one of them is getting their ass
(45:23):
beaten. Fairpoint.
Yep. Yep, Yep.
I'd call an ambulance. You'd call an ambulance.
Yeah, that's good. And I want to.
Get them a sugary drink and callambulance.
I would give them a Red Bull. Yeah, that's very good.
(45:45):
Yeah, Red Bull, Coke, Luke said.Anything.
Cocaine. I'm actually quite addicted to
Red Bulls at the moment. It says you go game and you go
off Addicted to Red Bulls. Oh my days.
