This time, Jim is on his own. In a special episode, he talks to legendary twin sisters Martine and Louise Fokkens, better known as the Ouwehoeren.

Amsterdam honesty and humour

With their characteristic Amsterdam humour and razor-sharp honesty, Martine and Louise talk about love, work and dignity. Without a filter, they share their views on life, their work and what it means to remain yourself in a world full of judgement.

They talk about jealousy, sandwich bags, chininess and what they think makes a good sex worker. No clichés, but sobriety, pride and a good dose of self-mockery.

On affection, money and life lessons

The conversation is about being a streetwalker as an attitude to life, about attention and affection, and about the little things that matter. They talk about clients who used to be "worth 500 guilders", about Albert Kuipjes instead of psychiatrists, and about the importance of being seen.

The sisters look back without melancholy, but with humour and wisdom, exactly as only Amsterdammers can.
