Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to What You Play Podcast. With me, Jessica. No. Zoe. Hello, guys. How's things? Happy whatever day you're listening to this beautiful podcast. Things are great.

Things are real good, actually. Things are good in the hood. How's things for you guys listening? Good, yeah? Are people on their holly bobs yet? Pops. I feel like it's coming into it. Holiday season.

Because the school's finishing a few years. weeks and people sometimes go before to avoid the chaos. I agree. I used to always do that. I had no choice because I had to go away in May and June, but it was perfect because it wasn't expensive and there was no kids. Yeah. People just take their kids out now these days and I think there's too much politics around that. I saw. What do you expect families don't have the money to take them out in the school holidays all the time. The kids need a holiday. Do you know who I feel sorry for teachers. I know. Or anyone that works at school.

Because fuck that by the way. Expensive and full of kids. But in fairness they do get an awful lot of holiday. Do you know what I think about having that much holiday though? It must be so hard to go back every time. Because it's like the summer's what like six, seven weeks? That's a, you get used to it. You're getting used to life without working that time.

Yeah. It's very different from a two week break. But don't they have, not as long as the kids, though, they probably have to stay on for a bit of a week after to go and catch up on homework and shit and then a week before, like, teach training days and that. I think they end on the same day, but I think they maybe have, say, like, a Monday, Tuesday is their day

and then the kids go back on the Wednesday, for example. So it's pretty much the same. But how's that going to work, for example? Right, this scenario, right, for example, I was a teacher and Richard was still playing football. We would never be able to go abroad. We would never. No, you wouldn't.

And there will be people in sport that are married to a teacher. If that's you, let us know how you do that. Yeah, what do you do? They definitely did bring something in because I remember my friend's sister had a baby and the guy's a teacher at high school and he, it's your, no, it's your paternity leave. I think you get like say

four weeks or something for example right but you can split it now you can some really good comments let you do that don't they you can take the paternity when the baby's six months

yeah paternity should I say but that's that's teachers so the council have done that so that's something but that's only paternity leave I don't know what it would be if you were on your new parent

and what's the update with the four day working week for everyone because I thought that was coming in I don't know where that is I know a lot of the It could be wrong here But the NHS I'm sure people are trying to

lengthen the hours in the week So try and get them to have a shorter week I feel like is NHS not maybe Four on three off Maybe Police are I think Fine on four days off Yeah

Police do a sort of Funny dynamic as well And the people that work on the rigs They get like what Three weeks on three weeks off Depends sometimes Honestly, going out with someone that works on the rigged is my ideal situation. There are a wave, yeah.

I like that. I want to be living solo with zero contact to you, zero, for two, three weeks. Come back, then we can have a nice intense. Oh, no, I'm fine with that. Maybe just let me know your sound. That's what I mean, I'm fine with like a lack of speaking. Yeah. But I couldn't do the either way in a submarine for three months and we can't speak once.

No. See, I have a really good friend that's partner did work on the submarines. And that was hellish, especially when she just had a baby. I know, that would be hard. But I think they'll living separately for like three weeks on, three weeks off is gorgeous. Set up. I love the setup. I think as well. I mean, you'd be like, oh, you're so annoying.

Like, you're so messy. My house is so tired. But also, you missed them then a bit. Do you know what I mean? Like, it kind of keeps it more exciting for longer. Yeah. than your average relationship. Yeah.

I think that would be really difficult when you first get with someone but say that, that dynamic came into my relationship now. I think that would really benefit us. Yeah. Like once you're already settled, you've got a place together

that you're used to living together, you're already, like your years in. Well, you'd like to think you'd spend some good quality time together when you're back home. Exactly, yeah. I mean, maybe that's not the case, but you'd like to think

that you'd be like, right, so what are you up to? I know, but then what's funny is, do you not think if you're the one that's at home all the time and they get back, it'd be like, right, you're trying to fucking do something around here. I know, and they're probably like, this is my time off that I've been working hard. I know, but then you like, blah. And also you wouldn't be off the three weeks. That's true.

I would find it really difficult going with someone who had a lot more time off than I did. Hmm. It's like when the sun comes out, you don't want to work. It's similar vibes to that. Yeah. And like you really need to push through it. Difficult. Anyway, what's on today's episode of older?

Right. Today's episode, quick catch up. We've done absolutely he-haw, so that'll take at least 50 minutes. We hope. And then we're going to go through some messages we've had, and then we've got a couple of trends that we're going to jump on. That we think are funny.

I think trends are good at the moment. Trends are funny. Social trends. Right, I love it. I've actually got a little bit of an update for you. Right, you tell us that then. So basically, we had a couple of these messages that come in, and I don't want to alarm any,

body. But you know the dilemma that we had week before last where the girl messages and say, my maid of honour has ghosted me. Yes. Two people messages and said, they instantly thought, she's slept with your man. I'm sorry. Wait, sorry, the girl who has cut the communication has slept with the new husband. Correct. And she said, that is what it's giving. Fuck off. I mean, We never thought that. So there's that. But two of our listeners said, it's straight away what they thought,

go and check the hard drives. Check the hard drives. Because there's something going on there. You're just being bloody mad. If you're fully convinced that you haven't hurt her feelings in some way, then there's something cracking on there that she cannot physically face you anymore. Go and knock on that door.

But do you think it was before said wedding? Yeah. And she just had to go through with the wedding because what was she going to do? Yes. Oh my dear Lord. I'm so sorry to put this into your head, but I'm just repeating. No, we've really put something large on this girl's head, that's a shame.

And I'm sorry. But why didn't we think that? I don't think that. But I personally think there's something you've done to her. That's what I instantly thought. I mean, there's absolutely something. Or somebody's told her something. You don't just do that.

I do agree with that. I don't think you just do that. I don't know anybody in this world that would just do that to you. See, even if you just decided, like this was all a lot, like we kind of said before, I don't know if this friendship is for me. I saw you in a different light. You would do it, like, in stages.

You would distance yourself at a slow pace. You wouldn't just cut off. You would at least let her know. Like, this is the reason. Yeah. So don't even try and come find me. Oh, my God. Maybe she can't face it.

I've just ruined your day. I know, I'm really sorry. about that but I would rather know so just in case anyway right moving on let's move on to the Grand Prix it's back

Kim Kardashian has hard launched with Lewis Hamilton I can't believe they've not been together sooner I said that to you I think now it just makes so much sense yeah two powerhouses

yeah and they both just been in the woodwork for a while and not connected until now But they do know one another. There is pictures of them like being with each other and seen and stuff before, yeah. Yeah. But he was with Nicole Scherzinger and she was obviously with Kanye for a long time.

Who was she with after Kanye? Who was she with a couple people actually? A couple people but now I can't thank who. Pete? Pete, Pete, Pete something. Big tall white guy. I can't even remember. She's probably the one I'm least interested in. Yeah.

but people are slagging her outfit saying that if she was going to if she was going to go to the Grand Prix come on sis but I just think she doesn't give a fuck she doesn't need to give a fuck I'm sorry also we're not acting as if for like over the minute

like what's the word I'm looking for like VIP to be there yeah she can go if she wants but you know what I was thinking right World Cup's coming back Grand Prix I genuinely think we need to bring back the wags bring back the wags let's glamorise them again. I want to see everything about your life. Flash it, honey. We know

your man's rich. Yeah. We want to know everything. Who gives a fuck? I'm one of those people where I'm not triggered by people that flash stuff online like their big houses, their big handbag holes. I want to see it because I'll never be like you. Yeah. And I probably don't necessarily want to be like you either, but I'm interested in your life. Yeah. I think it's like we're world's apart and that's okay. That's totally okay. Yeah, I'm fine in my small world. I just want to see your big world. Yeah. It's entertainment. Just honestly, plaster it everywhere. I don't give up. I want to see it. Oh. Yeah, I do. I'm here for that as well. I want to see makeup holes. I want to see your wardrobe holes. I want to see, I want to see what you do day to day in your life. Your morning routine. You'll like spend

the day with me. Spend the day with me as a wag. Yeah, I love that. Also, we need to talk about Rebecca Donaldson. Gorgeous. We love her. Our Glasgow. girl. You know she's so freaking sound in real life. She is. She's very sound. And Rebecca, bring back Muse active wear. I was your number one fan. I wore those hoodies and leggings all day. I remember that. Still to this day, I don't have them now,

but they were genuinely the best stuff that I used to love them so much. The quality was great. Bring it back. And now she's got the cash, baby. Come on, let's make it. Big again. Bring back Muse. Love it. I just think she's excelling in her modeling career. Yeah. And she's with, that man

Carlos son Carlos yeah lovely couple in my opinion she's just beautiful she's radiance class and beauty Scottish gorgeousness she's just so sound

and she's like I know her personally like she's just a genuinely really lovely person I agree with that so fair fuck hen fair fucks

and Molly May has had a baby boy congratulations Molly no I'm sorry The commitment to finding out her name from people. Can you imagine being her knowing the whole fucking nation is desperate to know your kid's name? I know.

I saw somebody say yesterday like, come on Molly, I could literally die and not find out your name. And this is where somebody died yesterday wanting to know what Molly makes kids' name was. Fudge me in your deathbed like, I never thought. And it's just a name.

Like she has got so much control. But you know what's funny about it though? Like, I know she's got a bit of stick with Bambi's name, which I think we're all used to now, and I think it really suits her. Like most names, right, but you're making it such a big deal now that people are really invested.

Yeah. And it's going to be something different. I've seen loads of like, what's the thumpa? Dumbo. Dumbo. That was brilliant. Whoever that Scottish gallery did that TikTok was so funny.

That was funny. A lot of people are saying midas now. This reminds me, by the way, do you know what I've been meaning to say? This is kind of non-related. You know that I'm really deeply breathing to my nose, by the way, because I've whitened my teeth and they're so sensitive if anyone notices that. I mean, see if you've got a bit of a list going on there.

Yeah, that I can't say it, but that letter's sore. It is. People recently, I've been going on about supporting your friends on. online. Have you seen a bit of this? It's like why, kind of like what we were saying why when it's an ad is nowhere to be, no one anywhere to be seen?

Why would you ever like your friend's stuff but you'd like someone you don't know? Exactly. Not even ads, just anything. It's like why do we all follow these people engaging all their stuff but don't the people that we know and experience life with? But someone, like a few social media kind of managers have done a bit of

a case study on it for example and they're sharing Molly's post which has 77,000 shares on it. Wow. The photo of all the kids with the new kid, the new kid in it. Two new kids. Two new kids.

You know, one of the four of them. And it's like, the chokehold this girl has over people. 77,000, I mean, about two million people liked it are bothering to share that with other people but you won't do it for your pal. And I thought it's so true though. that is true and it's actually weird

we are weird as like we're such a sheep nation that we just follow and we all jump on trends and hypes we're all guilty of it

but it is a bit icky no it's so icky like why do we just go into Zan and say oh fine this is what we have to wear now I know why we're being told what's where it's fucking weird

those camel toe shoes in that like it's been rammed down our neck You must wear this now. Yeah. Do you think she feels pressure every single day from the world? Yeah, but like just an ongoing pressure of like so many people want to know and see what I'm thinking and doing and wearing and working on? Yeah, definitely.

But how I see it is, she's definitely got a close circle of people that make her feel safe, like a security blanket. And she keeps them close and they keep her humble and normal. And I think she is, of course she's, I think every single single. celebrity in this world is normal in their own way. We just don't see them as human sometimes, which is quite warped. But yeah, I do think she feels immense pressure, but I think she's absolutely used to it. And also, you have to have an element of, like, gratitude that the only reason you're there today is for the people being obsessed with you. So you can't do need to keep them, keep up with the Joneses sort of thing.

To be obsessed with. Yeah, I do agree with that. Do you know what? I saw it either day. It was really nice, actually. It was a, it was an Instagram of people saying, like, how. How do you start? Because we get quite a lot of messages from people that either want to start online or marketing businesses or things like that. And they ask us questions like, is it too saturated, blah, blah, blah. And it is interesting. Sometimes you do feel disheartened. I'm someone that's never really that bothered about engagement. I've never have been. I've sort of trusted that what I share and who it reaches to, whether there's likes or saves or not. My content can be a bit different because it could have like 500 likes, which is an crazy amount of likes when you actually think about it. But then times that by five. for saves because it's recipes or travel guides.

People aren't necessarily liking it. They're using it for future information, right? Exactly. As opposed to a photo of me wearing outfit. However, someone wearing an outfit, though, you'd get loads of saves because people want to look for that for later. What's interesting though, just quickly, is see, because there's this repost button. Yes.

I keep catching myself reposting and not liking because, and it'll be the same of people that are saving posts. You're just used to, like, one press of something. Yeah. Do you know what I mean by that? So once I've reposted in my mind I've liked some swiping And then I'll go back or I'll come up again

I'm gonna even fucking like that But he posts it. Like it's just a I feel like it's just an automatic thing you do when you're scrolling. Yeah. I think there's um Just any form of engagement for anyone's posts

will do wonders for them regardless But anyway this post was saying like I think we need to sort of get out of this mindset that oh I've only got 20 likes on that photo or let's say you're starting off and you're someone that wants to start like a a business talking about, you're a therapist, right?

And you're starting your own Instagram. And you're putting out a 30 second talking video and you get seven likes, right? Or you get 30 likes. That doesn't sound a lot. You put 30 people in a room. You soon realize how many people that is. And even if you just get into two of them out of that 30,

that is exactly what you're here for. So never feel like deflated or anything to share content or whatever your passion is. because 30 people is a crazy amount of people and when we actually, I was talking about I think it might be my dad that said it to me and he was asking me like how many followers I had on Instagram this was a while ago

and I said the number and he was like do you understand like that is the biggest stadium in the world times however and I was like when you actually put it like that that's mental yes maybe it doesn't actually reach that many people because that's the algorithm these days but it's mad to think that all those people

do know who you are they're aware of who you are I don't like it and then there's just even if two people see that and they're like oh wow that information she just said was really helpful to me

that's really relevant to my life right now surely that's exactly what you're doing it for right exactly and use the therapist an example see if all 30 of them got in touch with you could you take all 30 people on no you couldn't so it is such a good way to look at it

absolutely just visualise the people that have liked your photo in a room and you'd be like holy shit this is packed it's crowded in here I'm overwhelmed with people I'm claustrophic Darren no I know I agree with you

100% so I just think Molly May must be like whoa lae she must be this is a lot but anyway back to the name

back to the name what are the most I saw somebody else say something and it was like the Irish version of Tommy Tyree or something can't remember Tiger

something. I thought it was quite nice. It was quite nice the way she said it. But I think Midas has been thrown around everywhere. Yeah. Like, I get the Midas touch. You can just imagine him walking out doing his like future boxing ring. Everything yeah, touch turns to gold. Perfect, perfect ring song.

It does have a faint soon, does it not? Maybe he'll come out to that song. He's been at camp. But I quite like that name. Like I think when when I first saw it was like, oh, I'm not sure. But maybe it's the way that an English accent says it. Like you say it. I don't know how to. Midas.

That's exactly correct. Midas. Not midas. Midas. Midas. Midas. Yeah. But it's spelled my das. Yeah, no. Did you say that better?

My dad. Midas. My das Elzevon, Fiori. Interesting. At least he's not called Prince. No, I know. I know you could have six princes in your life. Do you know what I mean? It's a lot. Anyway, perhaps Monty. So I went to Barra at the weekend.

My second trip with Logan Air, very, very gorgeous. I landed on the beach. The only place in the world you can land. I think that's mad. Only scheduled commercial flight in the world. So you can obviously charter planes to land on some beaches in the world. I think there's one in Fraser Island, Australia. You can do it.

Yeah, average, or worse, they didn't that, though, are they? No, they are not. But it was beautiful and we got it on a clear day, which I think it was key. Nice. Lucky with that. 12 people on it when I first saw the plane I thought it was banta

I was like that's not the plane and Rich was like yes it is like a helicopter no like a 12 15 seater plane propeller tiny

but it was fine it was really really great actually there's no toilet on the plane does it stay quite low yeah which I thought it was really nice it was loud and cold quite cold

oh right Chenson was great it was a bit annoying on the flight out there but on the way back he was absolutely sound he was some character this trip honestly the kid is

I just I think Richard thinks to myself I got an extroverted girlfriend and she's gifted me with an extroverted son and it's like me times 10 I've never he ran up to this woman in the airport and put his head in her lap

and I was like son we can't be doing that but he just it's almost like this it's just such a cute innocence to him though and he's so friendly and happy that I do think, like, when are you going to become that shy kid?

Maybe he's not. Maybe he won't. It's going to be given his dance routines in the living room like every single night. But he is just some character and it's just very lovely to watch. And you don't really want to shut that down because it might, like, it might get shy one day.

I know. So you don't want to like try and... No, I never tell him off. Yeah, like try and encourage shyness but you kind of just want to let him so that if that day does come, he's also he knows that that's in him too. Yeah. But he has, he's got my extra vet, crime is in, for sure.

And anyway, so that was a really lovely trip. I'll share all about it on my socials. But yesterday, I had a very dramatic day. You did. Guys got hit by a car. I got hit by a moving vehicle. You need to clear it up by saying it was you and not the car because I assumed you meant your car got hit.

Well, both. Well, yeah. I was out. Guys, it was a hit and run. The police were involved. So I was part Basically I'm getting I was picking some fabric up

At a place in the south side Called altered image right Really great place by the way And I was dropping off the sample books back As I was getting out of my car I parked up in those narrow streets On like Deanston Drive You'll know what it is if you're from south side

That all the streets around south side are quite narrowish But enough to get a very large car passed right Yeah I then parked my car up Went around to the passenger seat Which was facing inside the road to get Jensen out the back seat of the car. It could have been quite tragic.

I don't even know why I'm laughing. It could have been really bad. It was actually fucking such a shock. I was really shook up by it. My car door was open. I'm leaning in to get him. I was just clicking the button and I got a big bash

into my left side of my hip. But to the point where I was like, it was a blow and I was like, oh my God. And then the pain. I was like, oh, I've just been hit by car. So I looked to my right and this black car was sort of slowing down

but there's a one-way system so it was swerving to the left I looked up like I think I shouted what the fuck like put my arms at like what the fuck and then it just went

and this girl came running over she had her headphones in mind you as well and she went it was such a loud bang and she was like oh my God are you okay and I was like did I just get hit by car

I was like what the fuck so she went by the way just let you know it was a black car neither of us got the number plates stupidly and she went it was an old woman driving with grey short hair

she went it's a one-way system so she probably will be coming back round so obviously I know it sounds crazy to think because it's a woman but I did in my head think I had every trust that she would either stop or come back anyway I said I got Jensen out and the girl was like

oh I said that could have been so crazy I can imagine if I was just lifting him 30 seconds later the car door shut on me so I was squashed in and that could have been his head. Yeah. No, I know because she had been holding them up. And she probably wasn't driving any more than like 20 miles an hour,

but that's still fast. No, it's still fast to slam a door into someone. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, my car door's definitely damaged. It's like dented in and scratched up. But I then went and walked to the shop. But I felt like I was walking funny.

I was like, I don't feel like I've broken anything. But I definitely, even now, like I woke up this morning, and I can feel like I've had a blow to my hip. Like, that's wild, by the way. I know. So anyway, I rang the police. I tried to go left to where the tech cartel left to see if anyone had like ring doorbells.

There was a camera at the Royal Bank of Scotland on the corner. I felt too embarrassed to go in at that point because it was packed inside. But anyway, it rang the police. They were really good, actually. And I kind of thought to myself, you know, when you feel like a bit of a burden to the police,

I rang 9-999. And I thought, I don't even know if I should be ringing 9-99. I wouldn't know either. And anyway, they were really sound. They took my thing and they're ringing me on Thursday night. Right. Anyway, long story short, I then walked back to my car and I saw a police car drive by me.

So I flagged them down. And I just said to them, look, this is what's just happened to me like about an hour ago. And they, thankfully, rather than calling me on Thursday, they took my statement there and then and took photos. And they were like, this is like, this is a serious crime. Not a serious crime, but they were like, it is a criminal offense. If they don't call this in in 24 hours, which just to let you know, love,

they probably won't. Yeah. Then, you know, they will go to court. Like, this is technically classes, like, whatever it was called, all the official nonsense. And, yeah, so they were, honestly, I thought that police,

I don't want to, like, disregard what, but I just thought that it was a minor thing, and it is probably a minor thing compared to what they used to. It's a minor thing to things, to other things, but it doesn't mean it's not important, it's not serious,

because it could have been so much worse. And it was a lot of damage to my car. And the reason that she's driven off, off as because of something. But she hit me. I cannot imagine hitting, listen, hitting running a car when you clip it is bad enough

but to hit a person and then drive off. Imagine that door wasn't there. Like imagine you were... Oh, I would have broke my head by the way. Well, you would have been on the ground. It would have knocked you over. The door actually saved you.

Yeah, okay, that whacked you but it actually saved you from being hit by the physical car. So whoever the two lovely men were that were working in Southside around 3pm yesterday. What day is it today? It was Monday yesterday. It was Monday the 8th of June.

They were so nice, so helpful. Like, I just thought they're going to think, oh, this silly little bimbo. Like, I genuinely did think they were like, oh, just fuck off. But they were taking it serious. And I had every sort of feeling that they want to get this solved. And they were like, oh, we will be going to get CTTV if she doesn't call it in.

And we will be knocking them on. And they kept looking at me like, if you are in pain, please go to the hospital. Like they said that to me about five times. I'm sure they have to say that. And he was like, and we will let you know. We'll call you tomorrow and we will go knock on. He was like, they will go to court for this. So I was like, fucking hell.

I kind of felt bad for the old lady. He went, maybe she doesn't like confrontation. I was like, oh, I feel guilty. No, I know I would as well. I'd start feeling sorry for her. Because my thoughts are she's either driving without insurance. Maybe she's her life to taking off her if she's too old. Right.

Or she was drunk. True actually. Shouldn't have been behind the wheel. Or she's an arshel. Yeah. Maybe she's a rough wee woman who just doesn't give a fuck, right? But the only reason

I'm feeling sorry for her is if she shouldn't be behind the wheel but had to get something to help someone. What's the chances of that? Was she like looking at her phone didn't see me? Like by the way there was,

you shouldn't have drove past me like just waited two seconds for me to get my child out of the car. You know what the thing is as well? she will now get caught and like you have to go to court and it will be like a sort of like damaged by a hit and run sort of instant right I'm assuming that's what they would put it down as

maybe a more official wording for it if she just stopped regardless of her situation even if she didn't have insurance it would have been a case of you need to fix my car yeah okay she hit you right and you were hurt and I actually probably wouldn't have called the police by the way and if she came out well I don't think I would have no that's what I'm saying so even if she's what I'm saying

So even if she's not got insurance or anything, she could have just said to you, get a cost for that and I'll send you the money. She should have got out of the car. You could have get rid of the problem so much easier than what's going to happen to her now. Do you know, anyone that works in insurance, though, where does this leave me in a situation where,

let's say she doesn't have insurance and I need to get my car fixed? What position am I in, though? Because my excess is going to go up if I claim on my insurance because it's got no one else's to claim on. Like, how does that leave me in a fair position? I actually have no idea.

There must be some sort of loophole or something. Like, I'm going to have to then pay my, what's it called my, what do you have to pay when you claim on insurance? You have an upfront fee. The excess? The excess, sorry, yeah. So, sorry, my premium will go up, but I'll have to pay my excess, which will probably be like best part of four or 500 quid.

I can't remember what I'll have put down, right? Yeah, it'll be at least two-factory probably. How's that fair? It's just, and then you're, like, what's insurance for? What is insurance for when you end up repaying it back anyway when you claim on it? I lose my no claims bonus. Surely someone works in insurance here that can help me out. I don't think you lose your no claims though.

Yeah, but if she's not going to insurance, of course I will. If she goes to court, there'll be something for that. Well, I've got a crime number anyway, so let's hope she's called it in. Crime scene. I'll let you know next week, guys. Well, I text you, no, in fact, I text you a couple of, like a list of things. And about three hours later, you were like, sorry, I just get hit by a car.

went over to his house. Yeah. Me, Jason and my brother Adam and we played some dark. She's got a dartboard and his wee like outhouse. They built an outhouse a few years ago for my brother Daniel to give him like a bit of a separate space. It's just like a couch TV, a wee toaster, wee mini fridge and a wee like breakfast

bar because he like sitting a breakfast bar. He doesn't give a monkeys about it. So they keep all their beers and everything in there and they put a dart in. So we played some darts and had some dinner. So that was Saturday night. And then on Sunday I went to Angels for dinner with my mum and my nan and papa and my brother. It's a very family, lovely. Very family. weekend. Sounds gorgeous. That's honestly all I've done. We're just getting a bit sorted around the flat at the moment.

You've got a bit of an update for us on Patreon haven't you today? I do. I do what I spoke about last week. But yes, we are sorting some things around the flat. We're getting our bathroom done up. Yes. And we've been sorting the garden. We've got a shared garden but no one ever really cares about it. Apart from cutting grass because we need the grass cut for cookie. But we're actually refreshing it now so that it's nice. Yeah. And we can enjoy it. Yeah. Because it's silly not to. So that is honestly all I've got to tell you. He-ho!

He-ho! I'm not speaking about it anymore. Right. So, a couple of trends that we've seen on TikTok this week is the five reasons not to be jealous of me, trend and saying something in a supportive, disappointed, sarky, angry or flirty way. Yeah. So, everyone is saying that, wow, okay, trend. But I think we should say something a little bit different.

Yeah. I agree. I think we need to say, you slept with him. Mm-hmm. Is the quote. Right. Say, you slept with him in a supportive way. I guess supportive could also mean like happy as well, right?

I know, I know. You slept with him. That was amazing. That's quite good. You slept with him? That was good. But I think you have to look at my face. to see that. I'm smiling with that one.

Disappointed. You go first. Okay. You slept with him. I feel scared. They didn't even do anything. Right. You slept with him.

Ooh. I'm better this. You are really good. I'm not very good at Sarky. I'm always sarcastic. How do you be Sarky? You slept with him? That was good.

Because that's like me saying nothing happened. Yeah. It's like, oh yeah. I'm getting nervous, right? Sarcastic, you slept with him. My palms are sweating. I feel like it's me you're asking. This is hard, sarcastic.

It is, isn't it? How did you do a sarcastic tone? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You slept with him. Perfect. Had to get in the zone there. I feel like you need to watch us on YouTube

to really see our facial expressions, at you. Angry. You slept with him. That was 10 out of 10. What about this? You slept with him. Whoa! All right, you're stenters.

Right, flirty. Oh, okay. You slept with him. No, I'm going to butcher this one. Flirt? How the fuck do you flirt? Don't know. This is hard. What about like you?

Slept with him. Playground flirting. That was cute. That's cute. That's funny. That's not flurter. That's more teasing now. No, I know. You're teasing them.

Oh, that's my way of flirting though. It's teasing. Like I'm telling you I slept with someone really hot. There's a gasp. You slept with him. Yeah. Yes. Love it, love it, love it.

That was fun. That was fun. Right. Guys, five reasons not to be jealous of me. And we haven't wrote anything down yet because I want to know what you guys, what would you say? Basically, it just means like five reasons that I'm vile. You're basically slagging yourself off in five ways.

Man number one could be that you could land a plane on my noggin. What? My nose. Not true Yeah Not true No one's jealous of my nose What

Your nose is beautiful No no one's jealous of it though Are we really jealous of people's noses I mean no one's jealous of mine Yeah I'm jealous of people's noses I'm even jealous of my brother's nose Because it's mine but smaller

Right Right right So like I could have that Because it would still suit me And it's smaller But he thinks it's just because he's got a bigger head Which could be the case but it just hasn't got the same.

Maybe he's jealous of your head. Maybe I do have a peed heed. You do have a peed heed. All I can think about is the usual things like my farts really stink. Like really stink. Yeah, mindy. Another one in mine would be that I was given an evil dog and that's something that you live with for a while.

She's not evil. She is. To me personally she is. What she plays up to her mom. Yeah. Like when I'm around the park and everyone else's got their dog off mat on like no leads and everything, I'm jealous of them. Right. So I wouldn't be jealous of me because yesterday at the park what I had to do was take a 20 metre lead with me that's bright yellow. And allow her to run around but on this massive lead, what she did so much that I've got a blister on my middle finger.

Because she's chased after a bird and it wasn't unraveled yet. Uh-huh. And it unraveled and went through my finger. So it was a heat burn. Oh. So I wouldn't be jealous of me and my dog that needs to be kept on the leads. Okay.

No one's jealous of cooking. I would say don't be jealous of my fingernails but they are... I actually can't believe that I'm going to have to go to the nail salon tomorrow and get my nails filed down. That's the first.

Yeah, no, they're looking good. They are looking good. This is three weeks' worth. They're it too long now. They look ridiculous. No, they don't. But how much does that change your hands, though? It's mentally.

isn't it? I don't think I've ever had bad hands. It's just they've always looked quite that just goes to show you how how stumpy nail can change a whole hand. Do you know what's so funny though like you are a hand twin with your mum? Oh me and my mum have the exact same hands. Yeah you do notice that with people. But we've got the same wrinkles on the knuckles. Yeah you've got but I'm also got feet twins with my dad and that is a reason not to be jealous of me. My dad's my dad's toes and hands are so bad, so bad. He's a picker, they are so bulbousy.

In fact, actually, in fact, I'm being tight for my feet. My feet actually look nice now that I've let them, I think a French tip changes everything, right? Agrily. My feet aren't that bad, but when I was younger, I do think they were. I don't think you've got bad feet. No, I don't actually. But I think when they, listen, anyone's nails can look terrible

when they're bit down to the bone. I agree with that. And they used to be. I used to literally sit and have my feet in my mouth when I used to sit and watch TV when I was a teenager and chew my toes. Yeah. What the fuck?

I don't think I can get my thought of me. Yeah. Mine would be my bunions. Mm-hmm. I've got bad bunions. Okay. And they can hurt sometimes. What else could we think about?

Hey, hey, hey. I wouldn't be jealous in my bank account because it gets fucking rinsed by the way I wouldn't be jealous of that I called Zoe Asos final boss the other day

I love it You do love ASOS I love ASOS I also wouldn't be jealous of my mini Why because I fucking run her into the ground as well My brake pads need replace And I've got a flat tire

It's manky inside at the moment Do you know what? Cars are just the bane of people's lives like it drains my bank account I need to get a new... I know we've only just both recently not had a car or mine's been a year now because my insurance is nearly due up

but it's so expensive to have a car especially a diesel car right now I can't believe you've got a diesel car I know why did you say that by the way is that a weird thing to have? I don't know anyone that's got a diesel car apart from you but why is that weird though what's wrong with having diesel and petrol?

I think just people are always like not for it because it's all, well, it's always been more expensive, but I know that it runs definitely. It's brilliant for a long distance. Yeah, so it's more expensive in terms of each time you go to the garage, but you maybe go less.

Yeah, yeah. I probably only feel it up once a month, to be honest, but it's like when I drive to Leicester in it, I could be almost home and it's not even past halfway. Yeah, it must be that. There's obviously a benefit somewhere. It burns better probably in the sense of like longer distance if you're just keeping it going.

Yeah, it's something like that. But I just don't know anyone who's ever like... It's the first time I've had a diesel car. All the other cars have been petrol. So I remember when Adam was getting his car, we were sitting getting it and Ian was like, this one's a diesel and Adam was just like, no. Really?

Maybe it's just what you're used to though. I know you're not used to, but maybe you just don't want to take one on when you've never had one. The only thing I noticed that's different, I've had to add in ad blue once in a year. Yeah. Which is

Was new to me Yeah I'm not gonna fuck You asked me for that that time And I was like What are you saying? I know Like can you spell that Which obviously doesn't have

Any other doesn't have a diesel car You have to add in something called add blue It's another liquid into the blue Pump bit of you Like it's another screen wash But it's no screen wash Yeah But it goes into the same

bit near where your petrol goes Or your diesel Yeah It lasts a long time But it's random as fuck Strange. But yeah, I think I needed to get a new car. Well, I just got ran off the road

so you could be doing my one. I could do. Could I be this is just a good opportunity to get a new car? Yeah. Because that's going to be expensive to fix that door. No, I know.

I might need a new door. Well, because the police officer said that to me. It's like, what do you break in the damages here? And I looked at him and I was like, I don't know, this car's on finance. And he was like, one and a half grand. I was like, whatever you say, sir. Right, before we go into the day,

to our lembers, last week we asked you about, um, parent in-law dramas. Grandkids, remember at the end of the episode, we really went in and we asked you to give us the goss. And honestly, considering the episode that we've just put out there that you're listening to, it's only went out for a few hours today. We've had so many messages. And I wanted to speak about it today, but I think give people time for a week and then we'll catch up on it next week.

We'll say any question box up. Yeah, there's loads of you writing in. So keep it coming. Mm-hmm. And we'll focus on that next day. week because it's going to be good. It's really good to see everyone's different opinions. It's a good topic I like to. It's a great topic. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Dilemma number one. Hey girls love the pods. I've been waiting to write in for three years but I've had a good story

from you from years ago. Not a dilemma, just a funny little story. I'm sure you'll enjoy. Okay. When I was about 15 or 16, I was in one of those classic high school relationships. You know the type, all very dramatic, very serious at the time, despite none of you have been able to even drive or work yet. A few months before we were, eventually split up, I genuinely could not stand the boy anymore. Not only did I not fancy him, I didn't even particularly like him as a person. The problem was I couldn't bring myself to dump him because he had a habit of playing the victim and somehow making himself the one to feel sorry for in every situation. Deep down, I don't think he liked me much either, but apparently we were both

committed to seeing out the misery, a bit like a Mexican standoff. Back when things were still good, we'd had one of those teenage conversations about future baby names. I told him mine and he told me his. his absolute favourite name in the world Lily Not just that's nice No he loved the name Lily Obsessed if I ever have a daughter She'll be called Lily

Levels of commitment Fast forward about 10 weeks after we split up casually scrolling through Instagram stories See he has a new girlfriend Looked at the tagged username Can you guess the name of his new girlfriend Go on yep Lily

Not a random Lily either Lily from his sports club He'd conveniently been spending Multiple evenings a week with the entire time of a relationship Maybe it's all a coincidence What do you girls think? What?

See, he was obviously with Lily Obviously And he was pretending it's his future baby's name That's kind of sick It's weird That's kind of weird That is actually fucking weird P.S, I love the name Lily

Yeah, you do like the name Lily Yeah, you do love the name Lily, don't you? She also said P.S. was chatting to Jess Agely a few weeks back and loved the class You guys need to try Bart and Boddy in Udingston It's an absolute killer Have you? Yep

I've heard it's hard We do it We well try that actually Yeah Back to that That's very strange And yeah It's giving

Either he's got a real fetish Over the name Lily That he kind of was like I really like you Yeah But it was a big fat lie And he just sort of Maybe

Maybe that's the passion Like that's why he was so passionate Yeah Because he was passionate About real Lily Yeah The Lily who was already in existence not future Lily.

10 weeks is not long either. When you're 15, 16, no. Okay, it was up the age. You're kind of setting up the next person before you move on. I wonder if him and Lily had a baby called Lily. We'd love to know. I'd love to know.

Is Lily June, you're here with us? Maybe. Maybe. You're here with his Lily? Okay, next. I'm recently engaged in one of my closest friends has been acting very different lately. Before my engagement, we spoke regularly, made plans and generally kept in

touch. However, recently she's become increasingly distant. I've noticed that she rarely replies my messages often ignores me for days or weeks and doesn't seem interested in maintaining the friendship anymore. The thing that's upset me the most is the only time she really reaches out is when she wants something for me, whether it's

a favour, advice or help with something. Once she gets what she needs, the conversation seems to stop again or only starts when I'm making effort. I completely understand that everyone has her own life responsibilities, but I can't shake the feeling that I've gone from being a valued friend to someone she only contacts when it's convenient. What makes this even harder is that I'd wanted her to be one of my

bridesmaids because she's been such an important friend to me. But the way she's been treating me lately, I'm no longer sure I want her to stand beside me on my wedding date if this is how she's going to act, even to the point I don't know if I want her at my wedding at all. I'm struggling with whether I should bring this up with her or simply accept that her friendship has changed and take a step back. Part of me worries that saying something will make me seem dramatic or demanding which isn't my intention at all. I just miss my friend and feel hurt by how one-sided things have become. Am I being unreasonable for feeling upset about this or should I accept the friendships naturally change during big life events? I've got something to say here, right? I feel like this is one of many messages that we've had recently

from people that are in this situation where they've either been married, engaged or had a baby and their closest person to them has drawn back. I need to understand. what's going on here. Like, what, in what world are we as women so jealous of another woman's big life decisions that you can no longer be friends of them? It's really upsetting because, do you know what it is? I think it's really dampening the magic or the beauty of that person. And it's almost overconsuming their brain that they're thinking, you know, I've just got

married to the love of my life. I've just had the most beautiful baby. But you're sort of mourning a friendship. Yeah. And it's all you're thinking about, but you're craving these answers, but you feel scared to ask them what the problem is. But I don't understand. Like, I want to hear it as well from maybe someone that's done that to a friend.

Surely you know you've done it. Like, what is the reasoning? Are you, it just blows my mind, Zoe. I mean, I think in these circumstances, majority of the time, is going to be that you're now where they wish they were. So they already want to be engaging or not. you've now got engaged or maybe you're like

the fifth person in their life has got engaged before them and it's all they want and they can't get their man to propose or commit or whatever so it does come down to jealousy in those circumstances 100%

and I guess you've got to then kind of play devil's advocate and put yourself in their shoes that if it's kind of always in your face and it's always what you wanted I think especially with a baby it must be, yeah

because that's very out of control for a lot of people yeah so that I get that that's really difficult. I find engagement in wedding chat though more I can't be as empathetic because I'm just like your time

will come and also it should be your husband your boyfriend you're annoyed at not your pal like it's so important to you your man should know that or your girlfriend should know that and if they don't and they're not wanting to commit then they should communicate that with you or you need to come up by a compromise it shouldn't be your friends that suffer from your man or women not pulling out. It just breaks my heart for everyone that's going through it to be honest with you.

Yeah, it's shit. And I guess that's maybe because I don't feel, I've never really felt that way about a friend where I ever crave to be in their position. I've always been happy for them, I guess. And I suppose what I would say to the person

that is going through it, it's more like maybe they need to work on themselves, it's maybe not about you. Your friend is probably taking some time to work on themselves, they need to go and reach out and speak to somebody. They seriously can't be around you because the jealousy is eating them up alive or they can't face it because it's bringing back some sort of trauma or making them feel a type of way.

Yeah. But it is dead sad. It's really sad that your friendship has to break up up just because you've gone and got fucking married. I know it's actually the relevant to you as well. Yeah. Like what is the relevance though? Exactly.

I don't know. There isn't it any unless it is just pure jealousy, which has a shame. And to answer that girl's question, no, I don't want you at my wedding. And I don't want you by my side if you're acting that way. I'm sorry, I do not. Do you think she should reach a...

out to and discuss it though or not. Honestly. It's so hard part of me's like fuck her. She doesn't deserve it. That's how I'm thinking. She's clearly been nasty. Why should you beg for answers? I'm all about asking people questions.

We say it all the time, ask her, ask it outright. But you're having to put yourself out there and ask someone when they're the one clearly with the problem, you would hope that they would just put you out your misery and be like, this is the reason why. I hope you can understand, give me some time and hopefully we can rebuild our friendship when I'm feeling a bit better about myself.

No, I know. I'm just trying to put myself in these shoes and I think I would need to I think if I just cut the contact as well and waited to see if they reached out and they didn't ever there would be too many what ifs for me. I think I would need to address the situation

not in a confrontational like aggressive way at all I think I would just say look I'm planning my hen use that as a bit of a excuse almost I'm planning my wedding I'm planning my hand do I'm getting things sorted and I feel like since the engagement

our friendship's not being the same and I just want to know if there's a reason for that do you know what is another good thing food for thought here is maybe you lack self-awareness where you're not aware that everything that you've been doing recently has completely taken over your friendship with your friend. All you've spoken about is your engagement or your wedding. You've probably not even asked how your friend's doing. You've maybe not took the time to, I don't know, ask them what the fuck's going on in their life. And they're probably like, you know what? This is a very very,

one-sided friendship, once this shit's done, I'm out. But she's saying that the friend does that, so she messages all the time for something. Yeah. And that's, I agree with that for a lot of situations. Yeah. But she's saying once she answers, like, for example, let's use

where's good for dinner on a Saturday night for 10 folk. Okay. She's them responding, and then the conversation's dead. Okay. So she's kind of like ticking her friend's box and then gets nothing. Yeah. So it could also be that that's driven her to that,

but I don't think she would keep going to her for answers or advice if she was annoyed at her. No, true. So I think this is a very simple case of... You're being used. She's not aware that she's been a shite pal. Yeah. She probably thinks she's just been normal. She thinks she's got involved with some of the groups of friends that she's probably just more interested in at the moment.

Maybe, but still, like, just as happy to reach out to you when it suits her. But you know, you have became aware that it's only when. it suits her, which is the problem here. Yeah, so in that case, I would definitely have it out with her. I would, I think I would just say... I would make a reply jokingly and be like, yeah, I'm fine, thanks, how are you? Yeah. Just fucking say it.

Yeah. Because also, it might be a case of her saying, fuck, I've not realized that like the last five times I've messaged you, it's just been to ask something or get advice on a situation. Like, I've not meant it. Of course I care about, like how you are... Could change it forever. Yeah.

Because she'll be more, she's maybe not got self-awareness, she'll be more aware. Or she might just say, look, I just don't feel as close to you anymore. I mean, that's true actually. I think you need an answer. Because you know what, thinking about it, like, I know why we say that I'm quite a shit person on text, but there are times where I would message someone that I haven't spoken to an ages and ask them a question. And I would be like, anyway, how are you?

It's quite obvious you're asking them how they are because you've just text them about something. And I know that is life. but you know if someone did that to me though I probably wouldn't care that much either I get it people have shit going on with their lives we can't all just be like sitting there one night and be like you know what I'm going to catch up with Sownsoo

that I'm not spoken to in like fucking six months and have a long back and forth chat yeah like it's just overwhelming I know I know it is to some I know not everyone's the same but I know but the problem is there's times where I go to text someone and then I think

shit I haven't replied to their message before No, not even that. That can happen as well but more like I'm actually not available right now to get into a conversation. Yes, you just answer quickly. No, even if I was starting a conversation like I've not spoke to Jess in a few days, I'll text her and then I think, no, I'll do that later when I'm at home

because for me to text you or then I'm going to ask you how you are waiting up to you're going to send all I mean you're not going to get a response for eight hours. Yeah. So I do think that can happen as well and this is a problem with the full like instant access from phone is that you do start to notice these things that might just be that it's unintentional.

Yeah. So I would say to her about it. You could use the sort of hen wedding thing as a bit of a inn if you feel awkward on how to bring it up. Like just, would you want to be part of that? Because I feel like we don't chat as much recently

and I feel like you're about distance or whatever. Or are you being too sensitive? Is this really, is it really drastically changed that much? Are you just hyper aware of it now and you're being quite sensitive to it? Yeah, maybe. Or why don't you ask it to meet up,

see how it is when you're together, and just say, I think I would do that. I actually hate competition. I would rather it was over a text, to be honest, because I can hide behind my phone a bit. But I think if it was a close friend

or someone who I would consider close that was going to be my bridesmaid at one point, I would just ask to meet up if it's normal and then say I'm so, at the end, I would probably say, I'm so glad we met because I feel like things being different and I would do it so like,

and then she would be like, oh my God, I'm so sorry, I'll make more of an effort. Yeah. I'm sorry you feel that way. Life's just been so busy. And then if it doesn't change, you know where you stand with it. Yeah. But once you've addressed it, it's up to them.

And if it's, if it changes great, if it doesn't, then you can just be a bit more surface level. Yeah, I think that's some good advice there. It is difficult because people do have a lot going on and not everyone's on their phone. But I think this, I would find it annoying that you're on your phone enough to keep asking me things. Yeah. And it's never, how I am. How are you? Yeah.

Like, it's not that hard. But yeah you just catch people on the wrong or right day though in my opinion you text at a time when they're busy they'll give you a one word answer and just give you that answer you want

to text you at a time that you're sitting on your couch and fuck all you for a good conversation and that's not person dependent it's like you what you're up to in that moment difficult right last dilemma Hindu wedding dilemma as well

see it's wedding season It's wedding season. That's dramatic this. Please, can you do a full episode on wedding dilemmas and hendu chat? Yes. I'm not talking bride-kiss a stranger. I mean more from the friendship side

about how weddings and hendos have just became ridiculous in OTT. Yep. We will do that. For example, I'd love your thoughts on. Hendu abroad and a wedding abroad and a home hem. I've been a maid of honor to this situation before

and no longer speak to the bride as I think, she thinks, I moaned about how much it costs everyone and me. but every person I've spoken to has said that it was ridiculous to have both wedding and hendu. This leads me on to overall topic. Have wedding hendos become more about having nice aesthetics

and Instagram stuff as opposed to what is really about? Celebrating someone get married and having a laugh with your friends. The expectation now is crazy for people if you're spending any kind of money on anyone for a wedding. Gift, hotel, stage, transportation, that's a gift in itself. It's all gone to over the top and expectations are now wild. If I'm taking a day off my work to come to your wedding, your wedding and or hendoo and spending money on you then that's enough for me to show you

mean something to me time and money as precious as you get older with responsibilities thoughts on this topic i couldn't agree any more with that by the way no i couldn't agree anymore with it either i'm actually in total agreement and i'll tell you one thing before we chat about this in depth who was i talking about content creators was it you yes wedding content creators and i was bit by the way there's a place for them absolutely i'm not saying yeah i've done it for a couple of people. But to me in my personal situation, I don't need a video 224 hours later. And you hate saying things like this because if the day I ever came, maybe you would change your mind, right? Yeah. So I'm not saying a total against it. But there's so many additional

things, one being a wedding content creator, like what's wrong with the videographer? People just don't want to wait for anything anymore. Yeah. And that's an additional thing that I think is something that instantly the next day you're showing off about your wedding. And I don't mean show off in a negative way, by the way. I just mean like you're desperate to get it out there. Yeah. Why? Do you not want to soak up the bubble a bit more before

a thousand folk on your Instagram who you don't even care about anymore? See it? It's just went mental. It's funny weddings, isn't it? Because it's so personal to you and it's hard to judge because what we might think is over the top

to someone else is probably what they've always dreamed of. No, I know. And I know people know, like, our stance on weddings and things like that, which I love a wedding. I've said it a thousand trillion times. It's one of my favorite things, right? But it's the cost for me and the over-the-topness that puts me off and the family, everyone, you know, just sounds extremely chaos. But I have thought before about a hendu, which is another thing that we should speak about. So basically, I want everyone to write in your recent hendo dramas or shit that's going down.

with your wedding planning. Give us it all. We'll do a whole episode on it. Let's just talk about it. All anonymous, obviously. You can email us at contact at a lot on your plate. Podcast.com. Podcast.com.

You can DM us on Patreon. You can DM us on Instagram, TikTok, whatever you want. But I'm interested to know about this. And I don't know if you've mentioned it before, but Hendo costs because I'm about to plan my first Hendo for one of my really good friends, right? And I don't know some of the girls. I'm planning it with them as well. but I don't know what their budget is, blah, blah, blah.

I was thinking when I was looking at villas last night, like, if it was my wedding, would I sub the cost of this villa to get a better one so all my friends could stick to the 300 pound budget, let's say? Yes, I think I would. I would, but that's because I have unrealistic expectations for things. I'm the same, correct. But it's not that it's like a wild budget.

it's traditionally your friends plan your hand do it and sometimes most of the time it's a surprise where you're even going you don't have anything to do with it I'm not a control freak where I want to know that to be honest I'm happy for the surprise

I like that I think it sounds so fun but I do think I know you're not the same but I do think that if I was to stay somewhere really good I would and I'm expecting people to travel for me as well as come to my wedding I don't want you to fucking put a gift card

in my thing, you being at my wedding and you buying that outfit and you being there is enough for me. Yeah. I know they do say you should sub the cost of the meal, which is just whatever, but I would not expect that. But I do think I would put money towards my hindo. Or I would pay for like a boat day. I think, yeah, I would do the same, but I think it's purely for, we've said it before, like we're hotel, hotel, villa, Airbnb snobs. Correct. And I would, And I'm proud about it. Yeah, me too. I'm fine with that.

And I think because of my background slash kind of yours as well, the aesthetic in terms of the hendoo and wedding, and I don't mean it needs to be big and fancy, by the way. I just mean the aesthetic is important to me. So I would want the villa to look a certain way so that my decor in the villa looks a certain way and my picks and my outfits look a certain way. Like all of that matters to me.

Whereas a lot of people who have never really worked in that department, they don't give a fuck about their villa and quite rightly so. Quite right. But for me, the idea of going to a villa or something like that where if you opt it a bit

you could get something drastically different that I could just pay it and I'd be happy with it. And then I would spend time in the villa. The villa would be my... But also, in my head though, if I was to marry Richard, which I probably will one day,

I won't... I don't know if it would change but I highly doubt it. I don't think I would spend a lot on the wedding though. In fact, if anything that would be probably cost me 120 quid at the registry office and I would have a hindo I know. And a little party, potentially

I don't fucking know. But I just think you've got to sort of, it's what's important to you. Some people don't even have a hindo. I know. It's such a funny one because my attitude to the abroad hens and I've got my first kind of proper one outside family

this month. Yeah. As once you say yes to it and I'm not saying this, again with bags of money. I just mean once you've said yes in a broad hen, your budget needs to fucking go behind you. You've committed.

And I just don't, and I know that's so hard, but you just, if money was tight in any way and for that month or that year or whatever, I just don't know if I would commit because do you want to be the person or a couple of people that are going there,

worried about money, worried about... Like who you spend sharing a room with, do you even like the people, And then they're putting in plans and saying, can everyone send 40 quid and you're not able to? Which, by the way, most people can't. Yeah. That is normal. But I think if I was planning a hen, I would find that.

And that's just me being honest, I would find that such a burden. I'd be like, can you come or can you not? Yeah. Like, because the bride has expectations. I know. It is hard though, Zoe. But we can discuss this in that. That sounds so insensitive because it is in a way.

But it's like it's for the bride. No, I don't think it sounds insensitive. when you're the one planning it because you're already stressing about the other stuff you've got to kind of know your numbers haven't you? Yeah, and you've got to know that people need to be committed as much as you even though they're not a maid of honour

or sister or friend or whatever they need to be committed to make it the best for the bride and sometimes with low budget it's just not possible like things are expensive now. Yeah. So that's what I mean. It's like you're either committed to coming with like you're saving for it

you know it's going to cost you're just aware that it's going to be expensive. or I'll see you at the home hen or take you out. We'll speak about this in the future ep, it was quite juicy, but I have a friend that went on a hendu a few years ago and the person that had the hendu was extremely rich. Right.

And the expectations of what they had to buy to go on this hendu was crazy. Like some of the pajamas that they were sent the link to buy was like over 100 quid. It was fucking stupid. And I'd be like, you can get yourself to fuck. Yeah, I'm talking like you can put deposits for like 40 quid for a table at a restaurant, 20 quid. And that's the thing with Hindus, because you know when you're booking in a big group, you have to pay deposits because it's more like set menus and shit.

And I get it, by the way, like even for this, like I'm happy to, but you've sent money a few times and I get that it's a lot for people. But also, make sure you give people enough notice though. This has been enough note. For me, it's been enough notice. It's all been spread apart. Yeah. It's hotel. So it's like you pay when you get there.

Does this cost work for everyone? Like it's been managed very well. And I'm saying the way that I think it works. I mean when you're committed is that you've got someone good control in it. Whereas if you've not in its last minute and it's like right, 100 quid today, 100 quid tomorrow. That's too much. But then like let's say they expect you then to go fucking watch them get married abroad as well. That's crazy though.

It's so circumstantial. But then imagine if you were from a really well-off, like, friendship group, that's nothing to you. It's all relative, though. It's all relative. That's the point I was going to make is you would commit to a hendu, in my opinion, knowing you're kind of known what the budget is. It might go a wee bit over.

It might be a wee bit under. So I'm saying commit in that circumstance. But if it's a separate group and it's a friend of a friend or someone from working, you're not really sure, then you could maybe address it in advance. But I don't know, I just feel like if they were really well off, though, that I feel like if they want to do all these fancy things. They would tell a lot of it themselves.

I think so. A bit like the wedding though. I think you should if it's going to be extravagant. Yeah. If it's extravagant and you're expecting things way out of people's budgets, then I think you should fork the cost. Yeah. For some things.

Yeah. I'm talking about like chat him in for bottles at a beach club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should be, what are you expecting if you don't do that? Of course. You can't just, you also can't just turn up to a fucking abroad, a Hindu. In Boston, we're like, well, you told me the budget was £300 for the accommodation and £100 for the flight. I've got no money to spend.

Like, come on. That's what I mean. I think you commit to it knowing there's an expectation there for pre-booking things. I'm not saying you commit to it thinking, fuck it, charge me three grand, charge me five, charge me one. I'm not saying that. It's like you just know there's going to be costs that come pre-Hendu. It's funny because I was watching that clip of Tom, Claire and Molly that went on there Stagdu in Vegas. Yeah.

And it was the most. bizarre clip on TikTok where he was talking about how much money they spent at a Vegas pool party and it was like something like it was like five grand for a bot and they were like yeah it wasn't that bad split between us and I'm like what I mean he was there 100s fucking what fucking hell but anyway it was just very tone deaf yeah but let us know let's do a big ep on that so next week we'll do a big ep on the in laws give you a bit of time to send in all the fucking drums anonymous I promise just anything if you're the bride are you having problems with it if you're the flocking person planning it.

Made of honour. Any problems with getting the people's parents coming? Like, is it two different sets of groups? Are you stressed out? You're not? Are you just a friend that's invited? But it's demanding? And also any tips? Have you got any tips of really good things to do on Hendu's? Good places, locations to go? Things that have been really wholesome, things that have been really

shit. Stripper drama. Give us it all. Love it. Anything that's wed and hendu related, we want it. Yeah. Give it to us, bitches. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Right, love that it. See you later.
