Warning: This episode contains some strong language.Comedian Suzi Ruffell joins Gabby to talk about growing up and realising she was gay without any positive point of reference, and why now - on the cusp of midlife - she's more determined than ever to celebrate the joy of being gay and having a family of her own. They also talk about the Kate Winslet effect; why it's only when you really try for something and risk failure that you create something you're really proud of; and why Suzi's dad is more proud of the miles she travels than the TV shows she appears on! Spoiler alert: Suzi's dad might be the real star of this episode. Tickets are available for Suzi's forthcoming 2025 tour called The Juggle, and you can listen to her podcasts - Big Kick Energy, Like Minded Friends, and Out with Suzi Ruffell - on all podcast platforms. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tickets here: https://dice.fm/event/533vok-joe-marler-presents-things-people-did-3rd-dec-the-clapham-grand-london-tickets This is another episode of Things People Did, with the phenomenal comedian and former investment banker, Sindhu Vee! Large portions of this episode are spent trying to explain to Joe what bonds are - a concept which he still has no grasp of. Other big questions posed include 'what is the point of consultants', and 'how did Joe manage to lose money investing in oil?' We may never find the answers...

Today, we speak to George, who is a mixologist. But he doesn't want to be called a mixologist. Because that's a bit pretentious. He tells us all about cocktails. Which are the most popular. Why ice is so important. And why they're even called cocktails in the first place, which has something to do with ginger in a horse. And, Joe and Tom get a bit tipsy on a signature show drink.
