·42 min·4 clips

Justin explains why his nice middle-class teacher wife is actually 'nails' from her Manchester roots.

Justin Moorhouse opens episode 281 of his podcast with his daughter Izzy, who is visiting for Mother's Day. They reminisce about a Mother's Day several years ago when Izzy, then about 16, failed to help with presents and cards, leading her mum to lose her temper. Justin explains that despite her middle-class teacher demeanor, his wife comes from Levenshulme and Gorton in Manchester and is 'nails'. The conversation shifts to Izzy's university life in Scotland, where she has abandoned veganism and now eats black pudding, which she defends with a mock statement about cultural integration. Justin complains about his Scottish friend Jim Burke, who is getting married and has made Justin distribute wedding invites to their mutual friends. After the studio segment, Justin interacts with audience members after a stand-up gig in Liverpool. He meets Sean Yosa, an Irish-Nigerian comedian who flew from Dublin without a hotel to perform, and Justin shares stories from his early stand-up days. He also talks to a teenage couple, Robbie and Eliza, who are on a date with Eliza's parents in the front row, leading to playful interrogation. Later, Justin reads an email from listener Bev Walker and discusses his upcoming tour dates in London, Southampton, and Southend. The episode concludes with a 'Dear John' advice letter where a man discovers his wife has a £450,000 trust fund while they've been struggling financially, and Justin and Izzy speculate before hearing John's humorous suggestion.
