This is the BBC. Hey,

0:11

I'm Ryan Reynolds. At Mint Mobile, we like

0:13

to do the opposite of what big wireless

0:15

does. They charge you a lot, we charge

0:17

you a little. So naturally, when they announced

0:19

they'd be raising their prices due to inflation,

0:21

we decided to deflate our prices due to

0:23

not hating you. That's right, we're cutting the

0:25

price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month

0:28

to just $15 a month. Give

0:31

1:36

to Listen Bitch.

1:38

Raving edition. Yeah, nice outfit Lili Allen.

1:41

Very un-raving. What are you talking about?

1:43

Brat summer? Couldn't be more rave if

1:45

it tried. Yep, you're not going to

1:47

rave in the ballet pump that you're

1:49

currently in. This

1:52

week's episode of Listen Bitch's

1:54

theme is... Raving.

2:01

So many stories, so many

2:03

memories. And obviously raving's quite

2:05

difficult because they very often

2:07

blur into one rave, right? It's

2:09

like one era, one party, one

2:11

ting, one moment. One conversation,

2:14

one dance. One chat,

2:17

one chat over 10 years. Would

2:20

not surprise me. So I'm

2:22

really hoping that the audience lead us

2:24

to memories of yore that is tucked

2:27

right there back in the doldrums. You really

2:29

use the word yore quite a lot. Do

2:31

you know that? Do you know what? I

2:33

learnt it on a friend's

2:36

episode. Stories of yore. Rachel's

2:38

pretending something's not from Pottery Barn to

2:40

Phoebe. Okay. And she's pretending it's antique.

2:42

And she goes, yeah, I mean, this

2:44

is from, you know, yore. And

2:47

the other thing is from, you know, yesteryear. I

2:50

was like, periods of time, I'll never forget. I'll

2:53

start doing yesteryear more. Then

2:55

let's get our first question to

2:57

take us back to the yesteryear

2:59

of our raving days. Hi, Lillie

3:01

and Makita. I'm Lauren from Chanceford.

3:03

My question for you is, what

3:07

is the most outrageous and weird

3:09

thing that's happened to you in

3:11

a rave or after a rave?

3:13

Because raves are weird, weird places

3:16

and weird things happen. I

3:18

once come out of fabric with

3:21

basically a whole new outfit on. I really don't

3:23

know how, but that's probably one

3:25

of the most weird things that's happened to

3:27

me in a rave. But yeah, I'm really

3:30

curious to hear your stories about the weird

3:32

and wonderful things that have happened to you

3:34

in a rave. That's deep, leaving the club

3:36

in a completely new look, you know. I

3:39

wish mine was that tame. I remember

3:41

going to an outdoor, like,

3:43

free party rave in Durdle's Door

3:46

in Dorset with my ex-boyfriend,

3:48

Lester, and, like, my friend, Rob Hawkins

3:50

and a bunch of other people. Crude

3:52

him. And it must have been, like,

3:54

the day after, cos it was really,

3:57

really bright and sunny, and it was,

3:59

like... Now it was football time, so

4:01

that was like the Euros or the World Cup

4:03

or something. And one of

4:05

the people that ran one of

4:07

the sound systems decided to like

4:09

set up a TV screen, like

4:12

outside in the daytime. And everyone

4:14

sat there for like 90 minutes,

4:16

pretending that they could see what

4:18

was happening. Well,

4:21

and that they were sober enough to take

4:23

it in. It was just like, what are

4:25

we all doing here? This is completely insane.

4:27

Like everyone sitting down, haven't been up for

4:29

like 14 hours off their

4:31

nuts. Suddenly being really symbolised.

4:34

Actually, I think this is a really important episode to

4:36

explain what a squat party is. Lily

4:39

just said free party. We've mentioned squat parties a

4:41

lot. People might know them as warehouse parties, but

4:43

when we were very young, this was our first

4:45

experience of raving. We didn't go to clubs. We

4:48

went straight in pretty early. I was

4:50

13, my first squat party in Islington,

4:52

which is all right. It's not as

4:54

dangerous as some of them could be,

4:56

but they were pretty rough and ready.

4:58

You know, people would break into buildings

5:00

and they were illegal. Illegal is what

5:02

they were. They were very illegal. Illegal

5:04

raves. But how would they come about?

5:06

So basically on a Saturday night, about

5:08

11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, you'd

5:11

call this number and the number would have the

5:13

address of where the party was going to be

5:15

on its voicemail, right? Yeah. So and then you'd

5:17

all turn up and sometimes the police would have

5:20

already raided it and it would have had to

5:22

have moved somewhere else. You'd have to go to

5:24

the other side of London to like go to

5:26

this party. Can you imagine that you would just

5:28

go, right, well, actually we're going

5:30

to Battersea, not Hackney Wick. And you'd be

5:32

like, yep. All right, then let's go. Yeah,

5:35

skate on the night bus for seven hours.

5:37

Jesus Christ. Long before Uber. But I don't

5:39

think we even really had mobile phones. We'd

5:41

call the number from a pay phone. Well,

5:43

I got my banana phone sort of in

5:45

my second year of squat parties and it

5:47

got nicked very quickly. Very quiz.

5:49

Far too flash a phone for a squat

5:51

party. So my story is

5:53

an outrageous thing. And Lily actually said to me this

5:55

weekend, you know, we're doing raving for listen, bitch. Are

5:58

you going to talk about this? And I was like,

6:00

well. Oh, yeah. Parties were everywhere,

6:02

but for some reason, a lot

6:04

of our crew that would have

6:06

house parties afters for the afters

6:08

were from like Richmond and St.

6:10

Margaret's and Twickenham, which believe you

6:12

me, after 12 hours in a

6:14

squat party, it's

6:16

quite an interesting community to enter,

6:18

I have to say. And

6:21

one time we were walking back and I

6:23

saw Jesus Christ in the sky. I

6:25

had a moment with Jesus Christ in the sky.

6:34

I remember exactly what it was like. The whole sky

6:36

went yellow. What did man say to you? Oh,

6:38

that's I can't remember. I don't think

6:41

there was anything said. We were just aware of

6:43

each other. That was just an agreement. Just an

6:45

agreement. I see you, you see me. I can

6:47

see you, you can see me. That

6:49

was quite an outrageous, ridiculous thing to happen. That

6:51

was just the way it was in the 90s.

6:55

I went to a squat party with Lauren

6:57

and Phoebe once in like brewery road, like

6:59

sort of like down the back of like

7:01

Caledonian road in a right Islington way. And

7:03

it was close enough to my mom's house

7:05

that we could walk back. And as we

7:07

were walking back, I had an outer body

7:09

experience where I could see the three of

7:11

us walking home from above. Oh

7:14

my God. I mean, I think

7:17

that these moments very much attributed to

7:19

our creative. The magic

7:21

in the imagination. Let your imagination run wild

7:23

and your brain will follow if you've just

7:25

left a squat party. You know

7:27

that place in Caledonian road that you're talking about? That's where

7:30

I went to my first squat party. Cause obviously they would

7:32

return to the same venues often cause they'd be like, this

7:34

place is good. Isn't it the place

7:36

right next to the police station? No, the prison.

7:38

Yeah, it's by Pentonville prison. I went

7:40

to a rave there. I remember the first one I

7:42

went to, I could not believe it because, you

7:45

know, they weren't high production level, but people

7:47

would put up like that camouflage netting. Oh

7:49

yeah. It just looked so cool.

7:52

And the lighting and the sound systems and

7:54

just like, it was, I loved it. I'm

7:56

really grateful for those being our early years

7:58

of raving. We went in. hardcore

8:00

early and we learnt a lot

8:03

quickly. Next question

8:05

please. I am

8:07

Nadine from Perth in Western

8:09

Australia. My question for

8:11

raving is I'm a mum of

8:14

two boys. I'm 39 about

8:16

to be 40 and I love going

8:18

out to a rave. I absolutely love

8:20

it. It doesn't happen very often these

8:22

days but when it does

8:24

it's the best night of the year. So

8:27

my question is do

8:29

you feel like

8:32

there is an age limit on

8:34

raving? Like once you hit

8:36

motherhood that your raving days are

8:38

over? Good question. This is gonna

8:40

sound so judgy but yes 35.

8:42

Well I think it's about

8:50

how you expand your brave. Like

8:52

what is a rave to you? I think if

8:54

I was no I think it is about like

8:57

when we were in our late teens and early

8:59

20s what was the age of

9:01

the person that when they came into

9:03

the room you were like get out

9:05

and you were like 35. Totally

9:07

it was 35. You were like why are you still here? But

9:10

that is a squat party. Like for

9:12

instance here like in the Caribbean age

9:14

limit to raving you got me joking

9:17

like actually the elders know how to

9:19

rave better. Sure. Our parents my mum

9:21

and Garfield know how to rave still

9:23

and boy do they put it into

9:26

practice. So I say no age limit

9:28

but maybe change your rave. Change

9:31

your rave and you can go on forever.

9:33

Because when I was trying to do my

9:35

birthday party what's that place down in Latin

9:37

Maro called? Maxilla. Maxilla and when I

9:39

asked him if he could get me a late license he

9:41

said I've used them all up on my over 40s reggae

9:44

night and I was like oh my god I'll be able

9:46

to go to that in a week. So

9:49

just let your rave expand and you can

9:51

go on forever. I could have merged them.

9:57

I'm welcome there now so catch me there

9:59

this summer. But also on this note, I

10:01

did take my girls when they were quite

10:03

young. They had this kids like daytime rave

10:05

for this exact purpose. So it's like for

10:07

parents with young kids and it's a rave

10:10

on a Sunday. And it was called Big

10:12

Fish, Little Fish. And we'd take

10:14

the kids under the Westway down the road.

10:16

Yeah. And they'd play like, yeah,

10:18

like Acid House. No way. And yeah. And

10:21

it's so funny because like kids, when

10:24

they're really little, it's like they're mesmerized by like

10:26

the build and the and the drop of like

10:28

house music. I mean, they've got this video of

10:30

Marnie like she's on Rob's shoulders and it's like

10:32

there's this build and this build and you can

10:34

see her thing. And then suddenly the bass drops

10:36

and her eyes just roll in the back of

10:38

her head. She's like this. You're

10:40

just like, oh my god. Deeply in the rave.

10:43

Deeply in the rave. Yeah. See, that drop can't

10:45

fool nobody. That drop takes everyone. It made me

10:47

think that like, you know, when you are, you

10:50

know, high or drunk at raves,

10:52

there's something that like takes you back

10:54

to like being like in a quite

10:56

sort of childlike state. But that obviously

10:58

exists in young kids because they

11:00

kind of like move with

11:02

it in the way that it's very uninhibited.

11:04

Yes. But I think that that's the reason

11:06

that even people drink alcohol to be child.

11:08

Like I don't know. I don't mean do

11:10

silly things. I think that there's something about

11:12

if we're all having different thoughts right all

11:14

the time and we're all on different frequencies.

11:16

What alcohol does is it just puts everyone

11:18

on the same frequency, whether it be a

11:20

better frequency is questionable, but it just aligns

11:23

everyone's frequency. And that is sort of like

11:25

childhood because you're kind of all just kids.

11:28

Some people take it a little bit too

11:30

far like me and they can't be on

11:32

the same frequency as everybody else. They just

11:34

go a little bit too. When I'm having

11:36

drinks, I'm just trying to align frequencies. That's

11:38

what I'm sure. Do you want to ask

11:40

the next question, darling? Do you know what?

11:42

I really do. Like we're in a jungle

11:44

rave. No, I'm not doing

11:46

that. OK, next question, please. Can

11:48

I have a question, please? Gullies, Emily

11:50

here from Manchester. Rave

11:53

capital of the world. I

11:55

have a question for you both. Best

11:58

club in the world. and

12:00

your favourite DJ. Ciao! Thank you. Do

12:02

you think Manchester is the rave capital

12:04

of the world? Yeah, for sure. Definitely

12:07

up there. I'd say so. I'd say,

12:09

you know, sort of rave central, Hacienda

12:11

factory records all started in Manchester, didn't

12:13

it? So it's got good rave history.

12:16

What's my favourite club in the world? I

12:19

don't know. I did quite like Space

12:22

and Ibiza. Oh, God!

12:24

Oh! Not now. It

12:26

doesn't even exist now, but like back in the

12:28

day, that was a vibe. No, I was dragged

12:30

there by Auntie Nana and Uncle Warren and Uncle

12:33

Cameron and everyone. They loved it. When? Years

12:36

ago. And I just, I hate Ibiza, you

12:38

know I hate Ibiza. I actually really don't

12:40

like a super club. Fabric, you and Phoebe

12:42

used to quite like. I projectile vomited in

12:44

fabric once. I

12:47

was like standing on the side of the stage and I

12:49

vomited so far. Like my friend Rob was on the other

12:51

side of the club and my vomit landed on his trainers.

12:54

That's actually admirable, because what I was going to say is

12:56

if you vomit in fabric, no one's going to really see

12:58

it because it's so fucking big, but you managed to get

13:00

it over to Rob. Yeah, on his shoes. Rob to really

13:02

feel it. Yeah. But do

13:05

you like a super club, like clubs that have got

13:07

that kind of capacity? I hate fabric, but just because

13:09

I find it so claustrophobic, when I start to think

13:11

that I'm like six stories down or however far down

13:13

it is underground, it makes me feel sick.

13:15

I really don't like it. I like where I had

13:17

my birthday party, which is Arts Club, which is, that's

13:19

my kind of club, which is like right in the

13:21

middle of Notting Hill, like in the middle of my

13:23

ends. We used to go there probably every week. That

13:26

was, if there was a club in our history, that was

13:28

our club, I suppose. Look at Artsy

13:31

Club. Yo, yo, ting. Favorite DJ?

13:34

I'm going to say somewhere

13:36

between DJ EZ, Shai

13:38

FX and Seb Shue. Ah!

13:42

Ah! Combination! Oh

13:45

gosh, we get those three together. It's

13:47

like we're at some of mine. Absolutely.

13:49

My 40th. Surprise 40th for Lily.

13:52

Exactly. Exactly. What EZ?

13:55

Maybe a bit of Shabbadie. For your 40th.

13:58

I'll leave that with you. Leave that with me. All right,

14:02

no, we won't do any jungle. We're

14:04

asking. Bye, everybody. And

14:06

my favourite used to be deep in the

14:08

jungle, looking for my dread. I like that

14:10

one. We're going to take a

14:13

15:41

back. Can we ask our next question,

15:43

please? Can we have another question? Hi,

15:45

Lillie and Makita. It's Rachel from Stoke,

15:47

New England, in London, originally from the

15:50

northeast of England. I

15:52

met my partner at a rave

15:54

in Tottenham three years ago. He

15:58

is also from the northeast of England, coincidentally.

16:00

and was just down for that rave, basically

16:02

that weekend. So my question for

16:04

both of you is, what

16:06

incident has happened at a rave that

16:09

has completely changed your life forever? Oh

16:11

my God. Beautiful question.

16:14

I love your rave love story. I

16:16

think it's really, if you met a partner in the same

16:18

rave that was only on for that one night that he

16:20

was going to, I feel like you're like, okay, I've met

16:23

someone good here. We have the same interests. What

16:25

was it the most life-changing thing that's

16:27

happened at a rave? I mean, at

16:30

times when we were dancing together, like

16:32

a load of us. Oh no, they

16:34

all feel life-changing at the time, but

16:36

in retrospect, I don't know. Yeah.

16:40

That's what I'm saying. There

16:42

was this one rave that was in actual, this

16:45

isn't the same caledonia round, there was a

16:47

squat party in this really posh building just

16:49

off Upper Street in Islington. And I had

16:51

like, by then I'd sort of gained a

16:53

crew. We'd been going to squat parties

16:55

for about a year, so we'd kind of knew what the

16:58

people there and what crew was on. I mean, it was

17:00

nice, it was a good time. And

17:02

they were playing jungle and I hate house

17:04

music and techno, even techno is what we'd

17:06

be running from. Gabba is what we'd be

17:08

running from. But they played jungle, really good

17:10

jungle and drum and bass, which my cousin

17:13

Phoebe loves and so does Lily. And we

17:15

were just at one point, all three of

17:17

us dancing, doing that dance, Lil, do you

17:19

remember? Yeah. Remember when I used to do

17:21

like that one, that one like,

17:23

argh, hand, side side, and then that one.

17:27

The squiggle around. And I was doing a bit of that. And

17:29

I remember looking around thinking this is, I

17:32

remember thinking, this is the happiest I've

17:34

ever been in my entire life. And

17:37

it felt quite like life changing. So obviously

17:39

those moments felt like that, but I would

17:41

say that all of those squat parties really

17:45

did change our lives in a very formative time

17:47

in our life and we did it all together.

17:49

Well, I went to Glastonbury, I think

17:51

I must've been about 14 or 15 with you and

17:53

Phoebe. Let's

17:55

just say it was a year of

17:57

firsts for me. It was a coming

17:59

of... of age, Glastonbury. And

18:02

we were into Drum & Bass and Jungle

18:04

at the time. And

18:08

you guys took me to the dance tent and you guys were

18:10

a year older than me and you'd been like going to squat

18:12

parties and stuff. And so it was kind of like the beginning

18:14

of it for me. And I lost

18:16

you guys. I didn't know where you

18:18

were. And I couldn't find you for love nor money. And

18:20

it was in the dance tent in what? I guess it

18:22

must've been like 98 or something.

18:25

And so yeah, I'd been looking around and around the dance. I knew

18:27

that you weren't gonna leave because it was the only place that

18:29

was playing Drum & Bass and Jungle. So I knew that

18:31

that was where you guys were gonna be. But

18:34

I was feeling pretty

18:36

brave, shall we just say. Good

18:38

detective thinking. And I

18:41

remember like I found a security guy

18:43

and like managed to blag getting on

18:45

his shoulders and asking him

18:47

to like walk me around the dance tent so

18:50

that I could have some sort of like bird's

18:52

eye view, some extra height so that I could

18:54

try and see you from above. That didn't work.

18:57

Then I managed to, I didn't have like backstage

18:59

passes or anything, but I managed to blag my

19:01

way backstage. And it was Ed Rush and Optical that

19:03

were playing on the dance tent at the time. And

19:07

I managed to like I singled out the MC

19:09

and like, I don't know how I fucking managed

19:11

to do it, but I was like, managed to

19:13

convince the MC to read

19:15

out your names over the music

19:17

and to tell you where to

19:20

meet me. And it worked.

19:22

And I thought, right, this is it.

19:24

My life has changed. I can do

19:26

anything. Lily, that is

19:28

such an example of what a driven,

19:31

imaginative, creative, crazy bitch you

19:33

are, little fucker I was.

19:37

Ed Rush and Optical like right in the

19:39

middle of it. And they're like, and also

19:41

Mikita and Phoebe meet Lily off the front.

19:43

Meet Lily in the middle of the tent,

19:45

by the big ladders in the middle of

19:47

the tent. And then what you were

19:49

doing, we were just there waiting for you. That is an

19:51

excellent, excellent, glass and re-lost story.

19:54

Yes, you were waiting for me. I

19:56

wouldn't have left you. Just a bit drunk,

19:58

probably. No, you're probably like. Let's get rid

20:00

of her. No, I

20:02

mean, probably a bit. Okay, can we have

20:05

another question for this week's

20:08

episode of Lisshan a

20:10

Bitch. Hi girls, this

20:12

is Cody from Cornwall, currently living

20:14

in Kent after living in Berlin

20:16

for six years. I mean, I

20:18

have many raving stories, but

20:21

I guess the best one happened

20:23

last year when my now

20:25

husband decided to get down and one

20:27

knee in a club toilet proposed

20:30

to me. So I'm

20:33

just wondering what your best

20:35

club toilet memories are. Thanks.

20:39

Well, this begs the question, what were two of you

20:41

doing in the same cubicle? Can

20:43

I just ask? Sounds a

20:45

bit naughty for me, different genders as well. No,

20:48

I don't think we've ever been in a club cubicle

20:51

together, sorry. Can't relate. No, never happened. I

20:54

mean, the fact that you were proposed to in a club

20:56

cubicle, I've definitely never had anything like

20:58

that happen to me. I've never been proposed to, Lily's been proposed to

21:01

twice, you lucky bitch. Actually, haven't you been

21:03

proposed to three times? Ed

21:05

Chemical. No, he gave me

21:07

a ring, but made it very clear

21:09

that it wasn't a proposal. I was

21:12

like, thanks. Very him. Here's this diamond

21:14

ring that's clearly an engagement ring, just

21:16

so we're clear, it's not an engagement

21:18

ring. I don't wanna marry you. Yeah.

21:21

It's like, oh, head fuck, thanks. Next

21:23

question, please. Hi Lily, hi Makita.

21:26

Miss Lewis calling in from Blackheath

21:28

in southeast London where I work,

21:30

living in Lewisham just down the road. On

21:33

the topic of raving, my question

21:35

to you guys was, what is the

21:37

strangest thing that you've ever inflicted upon yourself,

21:40

maybe while under the

21:42

influence, shall we say? The strangest

21:44

thing I've ever inflicted upon myself. Well,

21:47

I mean, you used to like to

21:49

dress up in dinosaur costumes. Yeah.

21:52

For Glastonbury, that became- That was a vibe.

21:54

I remember a really serious ting, actually. I

21:57

remember I wasn't at a Glastonbury because I had to, I remember I

21:59

was so- Upset you were doing pyramid stage

22:01

and it was the year it's not me It's you

22:03

came out and you were just so killing it everywhere

22:05

and you were wearing that purple chart you were just

22:07

it was a very great time to be Lillian and

22:09

I really wanted to be there and be part of

22:12

it with you and I

22:14

had to host live T force over the

22:16

weekend So I couldn't go and in all

22:18

the papers It was just all of you

22:20

like Alfie you Emily loads of you just

22:22

all in different dinosaur and other animal outfits

22:24

I was so sad. I wasn't with you.

22:26

I was like, oh, they really are having

22:29

a good time. We did go

22:31

for it Yeah, those were the

22:33

days I mean, I suppose like the weirdest

22:35

thing that I've ever inflicted on myself was

22:37

probably the The

22:39

days of when my marriage was breaking down

22:42

and I like quite frankly lost my mind

22:44

and I was definitely Inebriated

22:46

and under the influence But

22:48

I took to riding around on

22:50

a hoverboard carrying My

22:54

own personal speaker so I had like I was

22:56

like a mobile like

22:58

dickhead flailing Not

23:01

getting enough attention and so just riding around

23:03

the world that was a very strange time

23:05

Once I actually I took the hoverboard on

23:07

a flight to New York and I was

23:10

going down the tunnel and the hoverboard hit

23:12

Nick and the thing I just went flat

23:14

on my face Well, I think that's a

23:16

metaphor in front of everyone a metaphor for

23:18

your life at the time I like you

23:20

think you inflicted upon yourself. I feel like

23:22

you more inflicted that upon others because We're

23:25

on Kings the road and I was like, is this how you're rolling

23:27

now? You were like, yeah Very like

23:30

I actually rolling. Yes Yes,

23:35

the hoverboard is Correct don't

23:38

I actually can't believe I mentioned it because now

23:40

people can actually Google it is on the internet

23:43

Why don't you ask for the penultimate

23:46

question on this years on this years

23:48

on this week's raving? Listen

23:50

bitch. Yeah, can we have the

23:52

penultimate question, please? Hi Lily and

23:54

Makita. This is Ruth from Buckinghamshire

23:57

So I used to be a big

23:59

raver but now not so much because

24:01

I'm tired and I have responsibilities. So

24:04

the one thing that I

24:06

really miss is that feeling

24:08

of connected consciousness where everybody

24:11

is experiencing that moment of

24:13

joy and euphoria all

24:15

together. So my question is, have

24:17

you experienced that? And if you

24:19

have, what was the song or

24:21

the set where you felt it?

24:23

God, mine's really embarrassing actually. Mine's when we

24:26

went to see the streets at Redding.

24:28

Oh yeah. We went just me and you, I

24:30

think, went in the car. I don't think we

24:32

watched much, but we were definitely there to see

24:34

the streets and Blinded By The Lights is probably

24:36

one of our favorite street songs. Me and Lily

24:38

and then this entire crowd, but we were very

24:40

like, it's just this song that really unites us

24:42

and we love it in exactly the same way

24:44

and we love it for the same reasons. We

24:47

know every single word and I

24:49

felt quite euphoric. I kind of

24:51

like find that, oh God, that

24:53

moment of euphoria united, quite cheesy

24:55

now. I don't know, maybe like,

24:57

you know, if we're at Carnival and there's someone

25:00

puts on like boom. What

25:03

am I chatting about? Fuck the streets at Redding.

25:05

Or like More Fire Crew. Oh shit, yeah. Yeah,

25:07

yeah, yeah. Three, three, four, four, five, five, six,

25:09

six. How are you gonna catch me when I'm

25:11

a man? Six, six. We could recite all of

25:14

More Fire Crew, Oi, if we wanted.

25:16

We're not gonna do that though. We're not gonna do it.

25:18

I'm just saying if we wanted to. Was that body for

25:20

me? Was that body

25:22

for me? Was that body for me? I swear

25:24

that you played that tune before I had even,

25:27

I'd seen it like maybe on MTV bass

25:29

once and then it was just your tune.

25:31

People don't even know I had that on

25:33

vinyl before people even knew what that tune

25:35

was. That's what it was. Leave it out.

25:38

Yeah, leave it out. Final

25:40

question. It's been lovely to rave with

25:42

the world today. How are we gonna

25:44

end this party? Hello, Miquita and hello,

25:46

Lily. Firstly, I would like

25:49

to thank you for your beautiful podcast.

25:51

I'm currently a dialysis patient and

25:53

I listen to all your podcasts while I'm having

25:55

my treatment. Anyways, in regards to

25:57

raving, I did most of my raving. on

26:00

the island of Grand Canary. We

26:03

used to go to a club called La Rocca.

26:05

It used to open at seven in the morning

26:07

until two in the afternoon and then we would

26:09

go back to somebody's apartment and party and rave

26:11

a little bit more. So my

26:13

question to you both is, who

26:16

was the last one at the rave amongst the

26:18

two of you? Who had to be dragged out

26:20

of the rave? And if you

26:22

were to rave now, what time do

26:24

you think you could make it to? Thank

26:27

you sir. I'm happy that Miss Mee can

26:29

accompany you through something so challenging and I

26:31

hope we're giving you some comfort through this

26:34

time in your life. Yeah okay last one

26:36

at the rave. You. This round goes to

26:38

Makita. Shut up! What are

26:40

you talking about? In the past,

26:42

you and Phoebe would stay up

26:44

later than me. No. You two

26:47

would keep going. Absolutely not. I'm

26:49

not like that. No way. Enterprise

26:51

house please. Give it a rest.

26:54

Okay you're in denial. You're literally in denial. Did

26:56

you ever come and rave at Enterprise house? I'm

26:59

calling Phoebe. No no no no

27:01

no no no no

27:03

no no no no absolutely. Okay

27:06

all right. She better answer. Hello.

27:09

Phoebe Oliver. Hi. I'm

27:11

just recording the podcast with your

27:13

cousin and we're doing a listen

27:16

bitch and it's about raving and

27:18

the question is, out of

27:20

the two of me and Makita, who

27:22

was always the last one up. Makita.

27:25

Makita would have been up last. She might not have been

27:27

the last. Between the two of you, she'd be up last.

27:30

Yes! Damn

27:36

fucking straight. You're so in denial

27:38

about your own behavior. I can't believe it. Oh

27:40

okay okay all right fine. Hang up on that

27:43

traitor bitch right now. Love you Phoebe. I'll

27:45

call you later. We love you and we're gonna

27:47

call you later but thank you. Don't

27:49

worry we've outed all of our old raving stories

27:52

today. All right fair enough. What was the second

27:54

part of the question? Who would it be now?

27:56

Still me. Lily doesn't drink. What a lovely episode

27:58

of raving we have today. It's

28:02

been good. It has. It's been good to

28:04

remember my premonition in the

28:06

sky of Jesus Christ speaking to

28:08

me in Bushe Park, 96. Oh

28:11

my God. I can't believe you

28:13

had like a religious epiphany. I

28:15

didn't really know that, but it

28:17

makes sense. It really does. Now

28:19

Lily Allen, if

28:22

you tell me that you haven't got a subject

28:24

for this week's Listen Bitch, I may quit Miss

28:26

Me. Is

28:29

that anything? You said yesterday. I

28:32

guess that means it's my week.

28:34

I said yeah, you got 24

28:36

hours to find something and we

28:38

have a list. Okay. My subject

28:40

matter for Listen

28:44

Bitch is revenge.

28:52

I nearly picked that one last week. I'm really happy.

28:55

A revenge.

28:57

The summer of revenge.

28:59

Maybe you're planning a revenge. Or maybe you're

29:02

in the middle of one at the

29:04

moment. Either way, or maybe

29:06

you've been avenged and you'd like to out

29:08

that person. I mean, this is the space

29:10

for it all. You can't be

29:13

avenged. That doesn't come under. What's an

29:15

avenge then? Yeah. That's to go back

29:17

at someone after they've attacked you. Avenge

29:19

the person that attacked you. No, you

29:21

like avenge someone. Yeah. Like the avengers.

29:24

It's not the same thing. Obviously I

29:26

know what revenge is, but I really

29:28

like, um, let's just see what the

29:30

English dictionary says. What? I know that's

29:32

revenue. One sec. I was

29:35

like, that's not revenge. To take vengeance

29:37

for or to exact satisfaction by punishing

29:40

the injuring party to vindicate. It's like

29:42

to vindicate, isn't it? Oh God. You

29:44

know what? I fucking love revenge. I

29:46

have to say. I

29:49

love a big fat bowl

29:51

of revenge. Please send your
