·59 min·5 clips

Grace Campbell got kicked out of every exercise class as a child for swearing because her dad swore so much.

The episode begins with hosts Chris and Stu introducing Grace Campbell, a comedian and podcaster. Grace opens with a humorous story about being chased by bees in her garden after trying to remove a nest herself. She then presents her two top five lists: swear words and favorite cities. For swear words, she ranks them from number five to one, discussing each in detail: bastard, shit, bitch, fuck, and cunt. Grace explains her personal connections to these words, such as using 'bastard' because her parents weren't married and 'cunt' for its gravitas. She shares insights on swearing in stand-up versus real life, noting she swears less on stage to avoid laziness. For cities, she lists Glasgow, Berlin, Kingston, Marseille, and London, providing reasons like Glasgow's scenery, Berlin's nightlife, Kingston's parties, Marseille's rose, and London's parks. The hosts and guest engage in banter about swearing cultures, with Chris and Stu adding anecdotes from their experiences running clubs. Grace talks about her stand-up career, starting at age 23, and her podcast '28 Dates Later', where she went on 28 first dates. She mentions her new podcast 'Late to the Party', interviewing celebrities about wild parties, with Catherine Ryan as the first guest. The episode touches on themes of authenticity in swearing, travel experiences, and the comedy scene. It concludes with Grace promoting her Edinburgh Fringe show and tour dates, encouraging listeners to follow her on social media.
