I've Had A Rosé, Let's Talk About Feelings with Sam Lake

DISCLAIMER: We all recovered nicely from the stomach bugs and NOW are working on a big f off 100th episode celebration. See you next week…. This week, calling in remotely, we have Alasdair Beckett-King, a lovely charming fellow who has a taste for ginger tea and a love of iconic cartoon series Steven Universe! (A show Sam has never seen but will attempt to show an interest in). A fun episode of tw...

**Sorry anyone who listened to this earlier and had to suffer some annoying audio issues, we've since re-uploaded and fixed it!** DISCLAIMER: We did mean to make a big splash about our 100th episode and we will! Unfortunately everyone at Rosé HQ got very ill at the same time. So once we’re done with that, we’ve got something special planned to celebrate 100 episodes, 100 amazing guests and hopeful...

Absolutely thrilled to finally have the delight that is Josh Jones on the sofa today. A wonderful treasure of a person, Josh has joined us for a Diet Coke (You’re Joking! Not Another One!) and we had a lovely chat about homemaking! Keeping the home nice, baking, cooking, taking care of people. Enjoying the calm and quietness. Well, we kinda talk about Homemaking, there’s classic Rosé tangents in t...

Would you believe it, we got Josie Long back on! And Christmas is a time for forgiveness, and Josie found it in her heart to return after we mistakenly got her Horlicks instead of Ovaltine. But we’ve got it right this time, so we enjoy a malty little mug of the stuff as we chat generally about Christmas, especially popular Christmas Songs. Sam makes a shocking confession about Wham! And we learn a...

What a joy to have Rosie Jones join us this week. A total delight and treasure, we discover what made the year 1997 so great. Spoiler: it was really gay and horny and we like that. Spice Girls, Girl Power, Teen Movies. Horny horny horny. Plus, it's another “oops we totally messed up the guests drink” episode. Enjoy! See Sam at Soho Theatre Jan 12 & 13th!! https://sohotheatre.com/events/sam-lak...

Comedian, Charity Shop connoisseur & lovely man Andrew White is this week’s extra special guest. And he’s the second guest to choose rosé as his beverage of choice. A classy zinfandel no less.  And oh I will say it gets us giggly. We create a lovely new character in the form of Susan Casarole (Su Casa) and eventually talk about why Andrew loves musical theatre and Sam respects it’s right...

She’s back!!! Helen Bauer has returned to us for another cup of tea and quite honestly a chat about absolutely anything she felt like. How could we possibly constrain her to one single topic? We cover so much: ideal school lunchbox contents, the concept of a treat spoon, where’s the best hot choccy, how do we deal with hair on inner thighs. PLUS a little play of pokemon go in the bonus episode! Se...

What a belter we’ve got this week. Comedian, Influencer & Shake Artist Paul Black is here! And this is the first episode where we introduce an “honourable mention” segment for all the topics Paul wanted to pick but put to the side for The Peru Two. A story of two women that were all over the newspapers, just not ones Sam has read. We cover the big questions too like: what really is a milkshake...

This week comedian and internet sensation Kim Blythe is here to crack open a whiskey sour (don’t worry, we didn’t make this cocktail ourselves) as we sit back, relax, and fire up MSN messenger. We learn about how it was really just a way of getting attention/stalking people you fancied. We also work out that Bebo, MSN, Habbo Hotel, Club Penguin were all guises for nefarious deeds. Also hang around...

Listen up, the two white men are talking about rap! This week we’re joined by the one and only MC Hammersmith, comedy and rap legend. We’ve cracked open a can of Barr’s Bubblegum soda, and we are rapping! Did you know Sam knows a lot about rap? No? That’s because he doesn’t. Luckily, MC Hammersmith is there to explain his favourite type of rap, Gun Bars. Parts of a rap battle where people show off...

Beloved comedy star and diva Olga Koch has returned to Rose HQ for a sit down and a black americano. And lately Olga has been wondering: is she in her flop era? What is a flop era? Why do we commonly associate a flop era with our pop girlies? Does someone not coming to your wedding mean you're flopping!?

We love it when a friend of the pod stops by and this week we have one of our faves, the delightful Amy Matthews is here to talk about her exciting new vinyl of her hit show ‘Commute With The Foxes’, a stunning comedic soundscape! But of course we cover a broad spectrum of topics including John Lewis Christmas Adverts, ASMR & a sandwich that is really a cry for help. Plus we discover the delig...

Welcome Brennan Reece to the Rose Sofa. A hefty, early morning swig of pineapple juice sets us off to a trademarkedly fruity chat about interior design, Brennan’s passion. Have you ever redecorated a student flat? Do you remember where you were when Linda Barker’s teapots fell in that episode of Changing Rooms? Enjoy a little arty trip down memory lane, and expect to see plenty of MDF. Become a Pa...

Grab a tissue, because this week’s episode is a tearjerker (except not for Sam because apparently he feels nothing when Doc dies in Cars 3). Welcome Thomas Green to Rosé HQ where we sip upon a nice lil coffee (cappuccino) and then have a total breakdown over Cars 3, a stunning third installment into the CCU (Cars Cinematic Universe). Chucked in a mention of Drew Barrymore & Borat and you’ve go...

Crafty comic and pleasure to have around, Bec Hill joins Sam on the sofa this week for a chat about the childlike joy of arts & crafts. Can we rebrand interior design as adult arts & crafts? Is Bec paying people for their teeth so she can make a rock pool for troll dolls? Also Bec makes Sam drink olive brine and the saltiness is still lingering… Become a Patreon!: https://patreon.com/iveha...

Pop open a bottle of Appletiser and get ready for some unfiltered laughs! This week is joined by Kate Dolan, who will forever hold the record of longest laughing fit on the pod. It’s a deep-dive into everything from fizzy drinks and Pizza Express nostalgia to the iconic career of Hilary Duff (yes, Lizzie McGuire gets a shoutout but Ms. Duff has done far more than that).  Listen now for the ca...

He oozes cool so we had to get him an iced beverage, it is the legend Aurie Style with us this week. In this episode, expect to learn a lot about Sam’s wife (don’t know where these gay rumours have been coming from), the benefits of various energy drinks, is Monster actually from the devil? And we discuss a lot of video games, especially ones that have been turned into horrible films. A particular...

It’s I’ve Had A Rosé, Let’s Talk About Feelings LIVE from the Edinburgh Fringe at Monkey Barrel Comedy with beloved friend of the pod AND Series 20 Taskmaster contestant Phil Ellis. It’s a deliciously chaotic episode. It’s an eye opening chat before a somewhat loose audience. We learn about Tipping Point, we talk about the joys and perils of doing the fringe AND we each drink an entire pint of ros...

Another mid-fringe recording for you this week as we have perfect angel Jonny Pelham on the sofa. After mutually agreeing that a margarita at 11.30am would be a terrible move on both our parts, we have a nourishing and delicious tap water. And then we chat about Jonny’s obsessions with chess streamers, people who stream themselves playing the beautiful game (not football, chess). Become a Patreon!...

We managed to record an episode during the fringe! We were all absolutely shattered and emotions were HIGH. And who did we welcome to the rosé sofa? The one and only viral sensation Lou Wall! Having a delicious vanilla milkshake and a chat about JEALOUSY. And my word, a chat about jealousy mid-fringe? Sublime. Become a Patreon!: https://patreon.com/ivehadarose Follow The Show on socials: https://t...

Lovely boy Jin Hao Li is here! And boy does he wanna do anything except follow the format of the show. We promise at some point we do get to Jin’s love of anime, specifically Naruto. But not before talking about almost everything else other than that. ENJOY!

Hi, we’re writing this in a somewhat fugue state so bear with us. All we remember about this episode was that we made Stephen Buchanan a truly diabolical cocktail (as is our forte) and then we talked about Home Alone and my god is that Stephen funny. OH WE HAD A LAUGH. And we think you will too. Become a Patreon!: https://patreon.com/ivehadarose Follow The Show on socials: https://twitter.com/iveh...

After some almost insurmountable technical difficulties, we connect to comedian Jamie MacDonald, who forces Sam to drink a tomato juice this week. Which Sam was thrilled about. Then we get into a lovely, ranty topic: Lame re-compositions of good songs. Think of the random acoustic cover during a tense moment in Love Island. Where do they get these songs from and why are they so infuriating? Become...

I'll just say it, this is a rough episode for ol’ Sam. That has nothing to do with this week's amazing guest Diona Doherty, and has everything to do with Sam genuinely not knowing the names of certain baby animals. It's alarming. Once we get past that and chats about getting engaged at the fringe, we reminisce about one of the most beloved sitcoms, The Office (the American one, that is) Become a P...

Sam welcomes the inimitable Joe Tracini for a gloriously unfiltered chat about childhood, coke (the fizzy kind), and card tricks. Joe opens up about his early life as a professional magician, what it was like performing kids' parties at age 10, and why he eventually walked away from magic altogether. Expect laughs, honesty, and some unexpectedly deep reflections on coping, identity, and the emotio...
