Starting point is 00:00:04 Happy Tuesday, guys. Happy Tuesday to you, everybody. You all had a gorgeous week waving at you. D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Hia. What you're all up to? Are you on a little hot girl walk, get your steps in for summer? Are you on the treadmill? Fucking pound in that treadmill.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Are you tidying your bedroom? This is a shithole. Are you... Do you what, though? I'm really productive. If I put a podcast on, I want to clean the house. I saw this really. good.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Dawn out. Yeah. I saw this really good, I think it might have been a TikTok or Instagram or something like that. And it was like, I have seen this quote, Whistle While You Work. Did you see that?
Starting point is 00:00:49 That's a song. Yeah, I know it is. But she was living her life by Whistle While You Work. And what am I mean by that is, everybody always like looks for the good parts in your life, right? Mm-hmm. And what happens if all these things that we do, we like load the dishwasher, tidy in the house, doing all the chores, is our life.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Like it is our life. We're constantly just hating it. We hate to have to do it. We're always like, ugh, can't be asked. But if you actually romanticise those moments, because that is your life, you have a better, you end up having a better life essentially. Right. And I feel like I am a little bit like that sometimes, but only because I feel like I need to be. I've got this mindset where I'm like, I'm on the floor and I'm falling things up.
Starting point is 00:01:30 And I think, I hate the fact that I'm fucking folding this stuff up. It takes me ages. I'm wasting my life. But what I'll do is I'll be like, right, I'll have it stack almost. And it'd be like, I'll listen to a podcast whilst I'm doing this. Over in a second, I've actually thoroughly enjoyed doing it. And I do think it's a bit like going for a walk. You don't listen to a podcast or some people like to listen to a podcast whilst they run.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And it's over before you know it. Yeah. And she was like, I whistle why, I use that phrase. Like, I'm whistling while I work. Yeah. And I quite like that little shift of a mindset going on there. Absolutely. That's very positive.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Anyway, on today's episode, we're going to talk about Cachella. Yep. Then Flint's an Olympics. It's been, it's been good. It's been some good viewing. Is it on again next week? Yeah. I've got another one to go.
Starting point is 00:02:16 We're going to ask each other what's been a lot on our plate. I've got a couple of updates to tell you a couple of new openings. Quite a lot of new openings actually that I feel like I need to share. Right. Exciting. And we've got a big dilemma. Again, some emails. Professional.
Starting point is 00:02:33 One update from the crazy, one update from the affair with some advice. And then we also have a fresh story. It's not a dilemma, it's a story about crazy ex. Anyway, so where should we begin? Well, you tell me what's been a lot on your plate? What's been a lot on my plate? I haven't really eaten anywhere exciting except we ate in a minute. Richard and Star Restaurant.
Starting point is 00:03:04 We did. Ticked it off the 30 before 30 list. And you will know all about it because we recorded the whole entire thing, which will be out exclusively on YouTube. We're not sure when, but very soon. So stay updated for that. That's fun. It was a good time. It was a really good time.
Starting point is 00:03:21 And we went to Legally Blonde. Unbelievable. Straight after. It was such a good day, wasn't it? Such a good day. I really enjoyed that. I just love a wee midweek day like that. And it was a mat, a massive.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Matinee. Matinee. Which started at like two. We finished at five. I was still able to pick Jensen up from nursery. It was just perfect day. Lovely. Michelin star in the morning,
Starting point is 00:03:44 legally blonde in the afternoon. Oh, ladies of leisure. You get used to that feeling is what I noticed. Mm-hmm. And then your day's not like that the following day, fuming. Yes. Why didn't it now work again? Anyway, it was so good.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I just loved legally blonde. The stalls have been stuck in my headstands right enough. Oh my God. Oh my God, you guys. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, you guys. She's gorgeous. She's brilliant.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Amber Davies. And the lady that plays... Pollette. Amazing. That voice of her is unbelievable. And we saw her on Instagram afterwards and we saw that she played Jennifer Hudson in Dream Girls and I thought that is just so perfect
Starting point is 00:04:24 for her voice because she was amazing. In fact, I would say all the cast had really good voices. We did. What I was thinking about is a lot of them literally sing one line. but they still need to have an amazing voice do you know what I mean by that? It's like you're just like a sides part but that's the level of talent
Starting point is 00:04:42 you still need to be difficult I don't get any chance I don't think I've eaten anywhere else good but what I will say is Girlipops is I do start to feel like I'm recognising glimmers in myself of my life before Jensen
Starting point is 00:04:58 Wow Yeah I've really felt it in the past like month or so, I would say. Examples? Just, it's hard to explain because I guess you're in like a, you're in the midst of postpartum like for a whole year. Like it's been, it's been difficult,
Starting point is 00:05:13 but it's been amazing. Yeah. But it's almost like I feel like I've got a bit of like my umph back. And like even just me and Richard as well, like we both recognising that he's more tolerable to be around as am I. I feel like I'm, the resentment feeling is completely gone. maybe not completely gone
Starting point is 00:05:33 I think it'll always be there for women in any sort of capacity in a relationship but I do think there is there's a part of me that I just know I'm a lot more enjoyable to be around at home I can feel it
Starting point is 00:05:46 I don't know I just feel good I feel I don't know how to explain it do you think it's a mix of like it's been a year now so like you're just you're used to it now doesn't feel like newness anymore yeah maybe
Starting point is 00:06:00 You have just, that's just your life and you're completely adapted to that now. And do you know what? The phrase, my old self, I don't want to say that because I absolutely appreciate that the old me quote isn't, isn't me, that is me. The old, she is me, right? Yeah, exactly. It's just life before Jensen. Yeah. I know I'm different in many ways and I feel it, but I do know that life before him, that is me, right?
Starting point is 00:06:29 So I don't ever want to be like, oh, I feel like my old self again. In fact, I'm my old self but better. Do you think there's a pressure from someone who said that, obviously, years ago, that you want to get back to your old self because there's loads of things in life that, yeah, they're not as dramatic or as hard as having a kid, but that changed the way you are. But you don't, you wouldn't ever say that about anything else. Exactly. So why do you say it about becoming a mum?
Starting point is 00:06:56 I guess it's because it is such a transition, right? So I get it. I'm not trying to compare it to anything else. But it's like, well, you wouldn't be your old self because there's not an old and you, you're just in a different stage. And I was saying this to you actually, Zoe, like, I wish I could go back and tell myself that it's going to take at least a year. And I think if I told myself that, you almost stop that pressure of feeling like I need to get kind of back to feeling a bit more like me again, all that shit that you tell yourself in your head. Yeah. You are somebody's whole being. Right. And that is your purpose in that time. But it doesn't mean that I don't know who I am anymore. It's just adjusting to the new version of myself. Yeah. And I think if we all kind of recognize that a little bit, like I don't, I'm not constantly striving to be, I don't fucking want to be me, pre-Gensen. Yeah. I actually don't. I don't want to be that chaotic sort of life. As much as I had a fantastic life and I loved it, right? Jensen's really seriously made me slow down in so many ways and reevaluate. lots of things about my life.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Yeah. I feel like I've got way more empathy. I've just see, see people in different ways. I see moms everywhere in different ways. Yeah. And before, I'll be honest,
Starting point is 00:08:09 like they're invisible to me. And it's not in a negative way. It's just I see things so differently. And it's like a lighter way of life, but equally, the love that I feel for him is so, so strong. And I just, I can't explain it because I genuinely think about him,
Starting point is 00:08:28 like, when he was first born everyone says like you'll feel this it's like unconditional love and it is but for me it's just getting stronger and stronger and I was in the kitchen yesterday and it was honestly amazing right
Starting point is 00:08:40 and he his personality is proper coming out and I put music away he loves music doesn't he so and he literally put his finger up in the air and he started like pointing and doing that and I was looking at him like I can't believe we've got here after all the hardship
Starting point is 00:08:56 yeah and it's fun you are amazing You're beautiful, you're such a kind, little sweet boy. All he wants to do is hug and kiss people and he's just got such a great character and I'm just like, I'm so proud of him, I'm so proud of myself. It's just annoying, as you said, you don't know you're going to get there
Starting point is 00:09:11 because you can't see any of the fucking future. Yeah. And then I just burst into tears, Zoe. Because he stood there and he walked over to me. It's like cute aggression. No, the feeling was that this is not forever. Like you are such a perfect little person right now. You're almost four.
Starting point is 00:09:28 14 months. I don't have this version of you for very long. No, I know. You're literally going to be the next version of you, which may I add is getting better. So I'm not like, I want to, I wish I could go back to New Ball stage because would I fuck want to go back to the New Ball stage? But it's like, I want to just bottle this moment or bottle you and your innocence and everything about you. Yeah. And I know that us dance around the kitchen together, just me and him, no one watching. I'm absolutely howling. He doesn't even realize how funny he is and making me laugh. No. And I think to myself, like, did my mum dance around the kitchen?
Starting point is 00:09:58 with me when I was young. But then do you not think as stages go on, you almost, because it does feel better and better, you're never going to wish back to a stage. Maybe when they hit like teens. That's what I was going to say. Maybe when they get to sort of like teen early adults because you're like, you're a wee shit,
Starting point is 00:10:18 you don't appreciate me, I don't see you enough, things like that. But then you almost turn the corner though and then you... Your pals kind of. I know that's what I mean. Because you do see, I see a lot of mum's online saying like, what you've just said, wish I could bottle this up, blah, blah, blah. Then I'm like, but you then say it again in six months. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:33 And then you say it again. I thought it was great at eight months, by the way. Exactly. That's when he started sleeping, though. So I do think it just gets better. But you're just programmed to almost worry about change, I guess, in a way. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:46 Just wish I could pause time, but equally I'm always wanting to just see him grow and more things that. I want to know what he's into. I wonder what his voice sounds like. I wonder what his accent sounds like. Husky. I've been so excited. He's got a really husky voice. I think he's husky voice.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I'm really excited to see him like walk properly and make friends and ask me questions. He understands things now. Like I said to him, I was in the car yesterday, we actually went to Jilly's house and I sat in the back with him because it was raining and I was trying to put his socks and shoes on. But his sock and shoe was missing off one foot. And I went, where's your shoe? And he pointed down the side of the car seat, he went, uh-oh. And that was the first time I was like, what the fuck? Yeah, like that was at response to the question.
Starting point is 00:11:25 You knew what I just asked you. Yeah. You can't communicate with me back. but you tried in your little way. You know what I'm asking. And it's just mental that there's just new things every day that I'm so shocked at and there's a lot of firsts coming my way. Yeah, there is a lot of firsts.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I think we're in the first stages of firsts. So this is obviously if anyone's listened to this and you're in like a stage of where you're maybe unsure about having children like I was or you couldn't see that for yourself or you're maybe in postpartum hell or you are in the trenches a bit. Maybe. Not everyone's in the trenches.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Like I genuinely think the moment Jensen started sleeping again I started to really thoroughly enjoy parenthood Yeah I really feel like that was a fucking tough But that's fine to also feel and think that Yeah That shows people act as if you shouldn't Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:11 Like if your baby sleeps through That is unreal Like I can say that now Confidently because I have that Through you I can't imagine What that must be like for someone It's really hard But equally, Zoe
Starting point is 00:12:26 We are amazing, you do kind of just get on with it. Well, you've got no choice. You just adjust. Yeah. Three hours sleep feels amazing. Mm-hmm. Like when you're only getting like 30 minute bursts at the start. But what a wild ride is.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah, I just think that if you're in that stage, I promise. And I read that as well when I was, before I was pregnant, like, I'm starting to get, what do they say? Like, get your pink back after like a year, sometimes too. I think it probably depends if you're still breastfeeding as well from like after a year. Yeah. And that's me now what? since he turned one, before he turned one, actually. And my hormones are probably regulating.
Starting point is 00:13:01 My periods, remember I said to you? My cycle was really, really long. It was like 38 days, 37 days. No one told me that. No one ever said to me, by the way, when your periods come back, you'll have really long cycles. I was like, mad Googling it. Like, there's something wrong with me.
Starting point is 00:13:14 That's odd, doesn't it? Because I was bang on 28 days. And now, the past two periods, it's reducing by a couple of days each time. And this cycle, I was 32 days. So it's getting back to normally? So I can tell just by that that my hormones are regulating
Starting point is 00:13:30 my aura ring's really good at like telling me certain things as well so I'm getting back there fucking love to hear it and this is the time where people get pregnant again because they want to shag their partner's brains out not quite there yet but
Starting point is 00:13:43 well we ever get there that's the question we'll let you know in that one I'll tell you what you're being a little bit more active than we used to be fucking get on there I know finally bought myself a bed Zoe
Starting point is 00:13:55 I didn't know what you were fucking going to say there What do you think I was going to say I finally bought myself a big double a dough now I thought that was where my mind was going Not a bed That's great news You're not sitting on the mattress in the floor anymore Shuffling out it needs a piss at the night
Starting point is 00:14:11 Yeah From dusk New dusk number It's nice They do good stuff I think And a really good value for money Had 15% off put the little code in Ding dong
Starting point is 00:14:21 Love it, wee money saver Yeah So that's me guys I just think I feel, I thought I want to share that because I haven't really updated much about parenthood this season but I do think that I'm feeling good and hopefully I'll go having a hot girl summer. I've booked a girl's trip.
Starting point is 00:14:39 We're going to Isla on Friday. We are going to be weekends away, me you and Jensen. Jensen's coming but that'll be fun. He's one of the girls when it says. It is. And then I've booked a trip to Barcelona with a couple of my girlfriends and my dad has just booked me a trip to Greece very kind
Starting point is 00:14:56 in middle of May all inclusive so I'll give you all an update on an all inclusive family hotel I want pictures of what you consume from the all inclusive offering I'm going to Zachynthos Zanthi ohoy
Starting point is 00:15:11 why do we call it Zanthine it's Zikentos Well it's like Mioka Malorca sort of it Majorca Is it Magalufam No because I think it is I think it's the Italian
Starting point is 00:15:22 pronunciation of Zekinthos Zakynthos is Zanthi and it's sort of stuck with the Brits. Right, okay, easier. But Zikynthos was next door to Kefalonia. Where you were. Yeah, so when I was there, people were saying, you get the ferry over, it's meant to be beautiful. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:36 A bit like back in the day, no, everyone was like, Magaloff, it's like, now I'm going to Miorca, it's beautiful. It's different. And I think it's a sort of same situation where everyone thinks Zanty as the ooi, but it's actually the wow, wow. Sister's not twins sort of thing. That's lovely. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:15:52 So that's me. a lot on my plate. No food to really tell you apart from that. I went to a really cute pasta place next to part at Duck Club. God, what was it called? Begins with S. It's like freshly made pasta and sauces and you go in and you pick your pasta shape and you pick your sauce and you take it home. Such a good idea. Oh God, what is that called? You guys all know. But anyway, definitely check it out. That sounds nice. I'd like that. What's been a lot on your plate, Zoe? Now I've rambled on. Well, yes, ticked off the Michelin Star
Starting point is 00:16:25 from a 30 before 30. I'm right getting through that list, by the way. I know you are. I was thinking that early. I'm doing so good. You're doing so good. I'm a good halfway through it now, I would say. I'll still get time.
Starting point is 00:16:36 But I've got a few things planned that I're also going to tick off. I was going to Eilis ticking off the Hebrides. And then I've booked my Leamiz tickets for London in a few weeks. So that will get ticked off. Mission Instar. Michelin Star, ticked off. Road's 10K? Runner. I'm on the road to the 10K in June.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I don't know if I'll make it. And then what else was I thinking I would need to tick off soon? I just need to make my lasagna. Go on and make the fucking lasagna if you scratch. Just no hard. And we need to get our colour analysis booked. Yeah. And I need to book the skydive.
Starting point is 00:17:10 That's a big one. That is a big one, Zoe. Where are you going to do that then? Don't know, but I might check out of that one. No, you can't. You simply go. You can't do 29 things off your 30 list. I can change it.
Starting point is 00:17:21 to some else. You could. I think you should give yourself... No, I do really want to do it. Six months in, re-evaluate the list. Because you might change things. No, I know. But I would like to skydive.
Starting point is 00:17:33 It's just the thought of getting up there that's a bit scary because I don't like flying. Anyway, I was in Portugal at the weekend. Casual. I went on a last-minute trip with Jason. And we waited and waited to see what the weather would be like in a few different places
Starting point is 00:17:48 and went with Portugal and then a couple days before it said rain the whole weekend. Anyway, it actually only rained the first day and then we got quite nice weather the next few days, so it was fine. Lovely wee break, we went back to the place that we went our first ever holiday six years ago. That's nice. Reminishing.
Starting point is 00:18:05 But you couldn't stay in that hotel, could you? We didn't stay there, no. Do you know what the thing is? The hotel we stayed in then was really, I don't know if it was cheap, but it was affordable for us, so probably pretty decent back then, but it was COVID. So now when you look, it's mad prices.
Starting point is 00:18:22 So anyway, booked this hotel that had just opened the day before we arrived. And they tend to have really good prices when they just open because they want to like
Starting point is 00:18:28 get people into reviews and stuff. So really good price for the weekend I thought it's fine if the weather's shit. There's an indoor spa, indoor pool, etc, etc., got there. The guy showed us about
Starting point is 00:18:38 it was dead because obviously it was brand new. Was it? And he was like, this is where the indoor spa is going to be it was a fucking empty pool. Oh, sorry, joking. Jukuzzi in the corner,
Starting point is 00:18:48 big massive pool in the middle. sauna room steam room infrared room spa rooms for like treatments and everything it won't be finished till the end of the month thought what fuck that's why you got it cheap yeah exactly and I thought I'm going to complain about that because I mean there's literally pictures of it on the website
Starting point is 00:19:07 obviously they are renders right which I get like AI or whatever but then Jason was like fuck they did message me and say that before we came so I couldn't complain so I had to put my wee carring back in the box. Anyway, it was lovely. The weather, like, sorted itself out, so it's fine. But what's so interesting is, obviously when we went there six years ago, I was, what, 23, didn't do one single walk, is what I've realised in reflection. All we did was walk. Amazing walks,
Starting point is 00:19:39 like right along the, just like caves, cliff edge caves. We did loads of them, and it was Daniel. I would recommend. The place is called Carviero. It's actually Carverro. Where do you fly to? Farrow? And it's like 40 minutes from there. Drive.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But not, it was a lovely wee break? And was it warm? It was warm the last couple of days. Really windy the last day, but it was still warm. Like we sat at the pool for a few hours, a couple of days, but you're not going in the pool. And did you read any books? Yep.
Starting point is 00:20:10 I finished a book called Guest List. Yep. Snopsis, please. I reviewed it. on good reads if anyone wants to look at that on there. Don't know what my username is, probably Zoe Quinn. Anyway, it was really good. It's about a wedding on an Irish island
Starting point is 00:20:28 that's been like a dead island for ages. So everyone's like, why the fuck they get married there? And it basically is one of those books where each chapter it goes between characters. Yeah. So it's like a different character telling their part of like the events that are going on. Anyway, there ends up being the lights go out.
Starting point is 00:20:46 We find a dead body. Who done it, sort of thing. But it all, like, loads of different stories link back to, like, the same person and the same people. So it's a bit of a, where's this going for a good half of the book. It's really good. I'd recommend it. I gave it five stars.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Did you? What I'm going to tell is... Do you rate everything five star? The issue I have with films and books, right? More so books, I would say, is I think the achievement of finish a book. It just feels so good to me that I'm. I'm like that was five stars.
Starting point is 00:21:17 You're basically rating yourself, five stars for me. Congratulations on your achievement. But I would, no, I've not gave them all five stars, but that is a five star. Right. I would recommend it. And now I've moved on to a physical book that I got in Australia. I prefer the Kindle. Do you?
Starting point is 00:21:34 I thought I liked a physical book. I prefer the kint. See all that turning the page and all that kind of bad. You can't hold it in that. I'm used to press the screen now. Yeah. Anyway, it's called How to Kill a Guy in 10 dates.
Starting point is 00:21:47 So it was a play on how to lose a guy in 10 days and at the start of each chapter I'm about 100 pages in I think it's like a quote from a kind of romantic film
Starting point is 00:21:59 but it's like words are changed from like love to killed like they've done me changes it's quite cool so I like that but I'll tell you it's good
Starting point is 00:22:07 right I'm enjoying it so far I'm on book number 25 out of 30 oh you're going to smash this then but now I feel really like I want to tick something
Starting point is 00:22:16 else off so I'm like rapidly reading. Yeah. You'll be taking like about five things off in the space of a week. I just get a high of ticking off my list. You know what I mean? I keep looking at it every day to make sure there's nothing else I can tick off yet. That's so good. So that was my holiday.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It was lovely and we went to a restaurant that's like down in a cave, which we had been to the last time but we were pissed as a fart so we couldn't remember it. It's really out of character for us, but it was our first holiday. We obviously thought, fuck it. Woohoo! We actually can't remember being there. Went bad and mad shriegatory.
Starting point is 00:22:45 There is a cave in there and you could do something in there if you wanted to add it in there. It's a cheeky cow! You could, not that's the same. But we couldn't remember we ordered it in last time. So was it good? That was lovely.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And you're almost sitting looking out between two caves out into the sea. Really gorgeous views. Really gorgeous. What else have I got to tell you? Nothing really, I don't think. Just back to it now. Do you know what I thought about when I was away though?
Starting point is 00:23:14 Why? Did they ever make those big deep steps? Do you know what I mean by that? No. Like big stone steps that are really deep and you need to do like one big step down the stairs is too, your legs are too wide but little ones are too like... Did you get what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:32 No. Like a big deep step. But think about you going down the steps, right? It's just like one foot. Steps of what? Stairs. Like think of stairs. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It's just one foot on each stair. Yeah. And it's a quick, it's a quick process. Then you double that depth, and it's almost like it's too deep for one foot on each step. And your little legs can't do the strides? Yeah, so then you're doing a kind of awkward, like half, like, half step, double step. Loads of them there, then.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Loads them there, and it was really an odd. I felt like I can you walk right. I just find it annoying because it's like too deep for a single step per step, but almost not. Yeah, and then you're kind of doing double steps, and you feel like like a child. It was really bothering me. I kept saying.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Was that your random thought of the day? That was my random thought. And I actually thought I need to write this down because any time I come to steps like that in my life, I think why? Just make it a double step. Do you what else I thought? What made us as humans want to lie in the sun?
Starting point is 00:24:42 For a tan. But where did that come from? Because actually it's pain. I don't actually think is anyone lying there and scolding heat enjoying that or are they only doing it to get a tan because I'm only doing it to get a tan. I would say I'm one of those that enjoys it. I enjoy it to a level. I think it depends on the type of heat though, isn't it? Because it's quite humid then.
Starting point is 00:25:09 No. Like the heat I had at the weekend was lovely because you were just lying. I didn't have like a sweaty lip. I didn't have stripped him down. It was just enjoyable. but then when you go into the really hot middle of summer and you're actually wet from sweat whilst lying in the sun
Starting point is 00:25:23 and you get that almost like do you ever if you get a quick heart rate because you're so hot? You are, yeah, your body's trying to like... Why am I doing that? You are doing it to get a tan then. No, I am. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 But I thought why? And it was so liberating getting a spray tan before that holiday. Because one, I knew I wouldn't be getting a tan anyway. I was only away for a few days but two, see you not being so obsessed with lying in the sun because I've already to get fake tan on. What I'm feeling?
Starting point is 00:25:46 What were your thoughts on the sand? Loved it. So good there, isn't it? Loved it. Faded lovely. And I wasn't even that great with the moisturiser because I'm always worried the moisturiser are actually going to strip it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:57 So I was quite loose on the moisturise and it was great. It was Harin-Uringston, if anyone's wondering. Hey, J-A-R. 24 quid. 24-pound. So good. 24 pounds. That is the cheapest spray tan I've heard of, by the way.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I actually think it's her own tanning brand, you know. Really? Yeah. Something gold. It's not Australian gold, but it's something like that. I would absolutely go back. I will go back, actually. Yeah, it's really, really good.
Starting point is 00:26:25 But that's really what's been a lot on my plate. Wow. Talking of books, I've been reading my Kindle, Loll. I'm still reading the wrong sister that I read in Kefalonia almost a year ago. And I read every single night, right, about one paragraph, and my eyes are honestly twitching, twitching closed. I'm not even reading the book at this point now because I care about the plot.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I'm reading it to get myself to sleep. Yeah, it's a coping mechanism. It is the moment. Honestly, Richard had Tyson Fury's new documentary on the TV last night. By the way, I watched that last night. I just, I'm not even going to make a comment on it.
Starting point is 00:27:05 No, I've got a lot of thoughts. I think for you comment. Okay. And then I thought, I can't even listen to this fucking shite anymore. So then I literally picked up my IP, the Kindle, and I was just sleeping second. But you know if I sat and scrolled on my phone, though?
Starting point is 00:27:16 I would have been wired awake It absolutely gets me to sleep Do you know what? To be fair So does it's watching a film as well Not as quick as a book No the reading for me I think it's that it's generally Tiring my eyes out Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:31 Because it's the end of the day you're already Kind of tired but not ready It's shut right off and I was reading on the plane And I kept falling asleep having to put it down Right tell me your thoughts on Well actually Did you watch it all? Because he's finished it now
Starting point is 00:27:43 He finished the first part of it watched the first, it might have been the first two, two or three. And I did obviously watch the first season as well. I think we might have spoke about it. You did speak about it. So I was quite against watching it again because I find him unbearable. Retweet. Actually.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I think he's horrible to her. I think he's a terrible dad. I'm just going to put that out there. I have no regrets. And I just think, what the fuck are we watching? Like, are we 70 years ago? Yeah. What's happening here?
Starting point is 00:28:13 But, Jay, we couldn't think if you feel. I really like Paris though. I know same. I really like her. Couldn't find a film. Jason was like, let's just watch it. It's easy to put on. So shoved it on.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And I just can't believe they've already had a season come out like that. Painted them in that light and they're happy to do it again. Do you know what? It was very similar to that season, I think. And I was just in, before I came here, he was just finishing the last first part of, because it's like split up into two parts of it. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And you know, his daughter's 16. Yeah. And I appreciate that as like the gypsy community. I kind of, I appreciate that that is their life son that's what they used to but it was her 16th birthday party and her boyfriend is getting down on one knee proposing to her, I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:28:54 this is wild to me! And then Tyson sat with him and he's like, you do realise like in our community we do not do divorce, like you are marrying forever. Yeah, like this is it. And I just think that's rancas. No, I know. For me it's more the fact
Starting point is 00:29:08 that they've got absolutely zero control of their kids. Zero control. Why doesn't she hire some help? One, why have you not got help? Two, why are they so badly behaved and so badly disciplined? She's actually screaming, get your coat on. For like 10 time, they're just looking at, like, we've got back to kids.
Starting point is 00:29:25 We've got seven children. And there's no way that she can manage all that, though. So she, I don't know if this is because of the cameras are there, though, but, like, it gave me the impression that didn't have any sort of, like, cleaner, nothing or anything. Yeah. And I think if you are a multimillionaire, I know I would. So.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Oh, absolutely. What the hell? I would even if I was in there, I think. Yeah. But take all my money, do what you can. Yeah, I don't know if it's because of the cameras, but she was doing all the keek, cleaning all the cooking, she was stressed out and up.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Their house is a shithole. And also, I also feel like they were always constantly bickering with one another. That can't be nice to be around. No, I know. And did you see the bit that he was talking about Venezuela, the older girl being an influencer? No. So she went on a shoot with Fabulous Magazine or whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:30:11 She's cute to be. I know, interesting. She's a really good help to the mum. She is looking after the kids and that. She has only 16 as well, to be fairer. Right, so she came back from the shoot and I think Paris said to Tice and you go and you ask her how she got on or something
Starting point is 00:30:24 because, do you know what's scary about him and you see it a lot in it? You just, you get back to him and he's in a bad mood. Yeah. He's really, like, twisted and nasty and, like, horrible, but, like, he sniggers. Yeah. It's not like I'm in a shit of mood.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Like, don't speak to me. It's like a... Someone's came over him sort of way and it's actually scary. but he was saying to her like basically like think of Molly she's got no privacy do you really want no privacy like it's not a real job
Starting point is 00:30:51 what you just get your tits out on camera and that's just where you make your money was like I've done actually something to make my money that's what you should be wanting to do like things like that one your sister-in-law is literally one of the biggest influencers in the UKF not world but I hate that people go on
Starting point is 00:31:08 like Molly has work to get to where she is though exactly she was doing YouTube way before of Ireland. Two, people who still don't understand the influencing is actually a job. Need to fucking grow up at this point. Agree. No one's saying that they're shaving lives. Everyone's very honest about that. But it's still a job.
Starting point is 00:31:25 You earn money from it. It still requires work and you earn money from it. Three, it doesn't mean you're not allowed any privacy. It's up to you, but you choose to share. Because you're showing what you wear every day. You have to tell everyone that your fucking granny died. Like, where's the connection? But he just made a really, like, he was just making really bad comments.
Starting point is 00:31:42 And Paris was like, she actually has had a great day like why are you doing this like why are you being so horrible just because you're in a bad mood we've came home she's all buzzing with it and you're basically tearing her down
Starting point is 00:31:53 he was just like just what I think and you know his dad as well he's horrible he's horrible as well whilst we're out of he's horrible and all and I think that might be a true reflection on Tyson's behaviour as well
Starting point is 00:32:03 what's so weird as I don't see Tommy as a horrible person at all he seems so sweet I know and he's in it quite a bit yeah it's Molly in it no I don't think so I didn't see her in it.
Starting point is 00:32:14 I don't think so. But yeah, I just, I mean, I'll continue watching it because now I'm quite intrigued and it's almost quite similar to the mannosphere whereas like I watch it and I just think this is fucking laughable like, why are you allowed to live like this? Interestingly though, Richie was watching like, I love him, love him.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Yeah, he was like, love him. I'm going to have a word to him. He loves Tyson. Does he? Yeah, he's always liked him. He actually feels sorry for him, I think. And it was when he was renewing his vows for the 20,000th time.
Starting point is 00:32:43 with Paris and he was on the phone to his dad to ask him to be there and Richard pauses he went let me watch it I went Richard I don't want to keep watching this like just I'm not bothered I'm not interested
Starting point is 00:32:52 and he's like just watch it look at his reaction and he's like look how sad that is for him because of his dad was like I'm not going to go there you're wasting your money he's ridiculous and Tyson did look sad
Starting point is 00:33:01 and he was like look at that and I was like still don't like him I don't like him don't force me I mean I know what he means in terms of like he's quite clearly
Starting point is 00:33:10 a bit of a troubled soul and he can't let go his life. He has got something wrong with him, is he not? Like, they were talking about that in season one.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Is it, um, is it bipolar maybe? Yeah, I think so. I don't know. Maybe, not sure.
Starting point is 00:33:21 But, yeah, like he's like, he can't let go. And it's not, I don't think it's in like a fame hungry way. It's in like a,
Starting point is 00:33:29 but that's my passion why I should I let it go? Which must be difficult in that sort of, same with all sort of sports, I guess. And I think she's brilliant for him. Same bit for fuck.
Starting point is 00:33:39 She's got the patience ascent. Yeah. Do you feel sorry for her. But then I'm like, it was when she was on the TV on this morning and she was all done up on her makeup and she was talking, he went, he looked at Venezuela and he went,
Starting point is 00:33:48 she looks quite pretty, doesn't she? She actually talks some good sense. I'm like, yes, she fucking does talk good sense. And yes, she is beautiful. Like, shut up. She actually is quite a big contrast to him, I think. Like, they're really opposites. And he said something on it, like,
Starting point is 00:34:04 some people are just not cut out to be a dad and I'm one of them. And I thought, well, that's good. You've got seven kids. Yeah. Fanny. Anyway. I just struggle with people who just
Starting point is 00:34:15 I don't think they've both they've been together since they were dead young and they know it to the inside out and they love each other so much well I turned to Jason and I said why is she with him? Yeah and he looked at me and he went do you want me to answer that? But that's not true
Starting point is 00:34:31 though is it? Well I don't think it is but then maybe it's the reason you're still there do you know what I mean? Maybe but then you'd have it anyway unless I get a pre-nup pre-nup who knows but I have a I think it's an interesting watch if you want to get riled up.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Do you know what else is a fucking amazing watch, Zoe? Where? The Testaments. Oh, I've not watched that yet, the Handmaid's Tale thing. Guys, if you're a Handmaid's Tale lover, it is so good. It's on Disney. Right. It's just come out.
Starting point is 00:35:02 No spoilers, but maybe if you're a book lover, you'll have read the books. You kind of know the follow-on of it. But it is about Hannah. So June's daughter. And life 15 years later in Gilead. Okay. And things have changed. They're no longer hiring handmaids to reproduce.
Starting point is 00:35:23 And the handmaids do. You don't. You don't need to watch Handmaid's Tale to watch it because it does loosely tell you at the start the basis of what Gilead was and what it is now. But you absolutely should watch it because everything just makes way more sense. You're a bit more shock factor about surfing.
Starting point is 00:35:43 people in the show. Okay. Yeah, I would say you probably do, you probably should have watched Hammond, yeah. But they've redone it in a way that you could. And it's very like becoming of age, sort of perfect for like Gen Z. It's about young girls that have just started the period that they're learning a little bit about sex.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Right, okay. They're all started to learn a little bit about the outside world because they've been so secluded and whatnot from the outside world for so long. I feel like we knew this was coming, but I did you know it was coming so soon, do you know what I mean? Same. Like it kind of came up. Because we spoke about it in the group chat ages ago.
Starting point is 00:36:14 I know, but that doesn't feel that it'll that long ago to now actually been a thing. But it's brilliant. I watched, there's only three episodes out, binged all three last Sunday, and then it's out every Wednesday from now. Right, okay, I might start that at the night. Oh no, Zoe, you absolutely need to start it. You will love it. We watch the last bit of handmaids at mine.
Starting point is 00:36:32 I know I love the handmade's tale. I'd actually probably rewatch it. Same. It made me want to rewatch it. But June of your age. It's the same. Molly's rewatching it, though, because she texts me. re-watching it so if I've got any questions we can ask her.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah. To just connect to who people are again. Do you know what I think looks good? No, you're not that into this but the new Hunger Games. No, you guys made me watch it remember in COVID? We did. And I loved it. Well, there's a new one coming out.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I'm not that excited about the one coming out. The trailer looks good. Does it? I just love the films. It's what's her face in it, Jennifer Lawrence? No. Is she darned for me? It's all different characters, no.
Starting point is 00:37:07 It's all, it's another prequel, I think. I get quite confused with what that means sometimes. Okay. Before. I think it's another one of them. I'm not really sure, but the trailer looks good. Right. And I'm excited for that.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Shall we dive into Coachella? Let's do it. Thoughts. I love Justin Bieber. Do you? Yeah. Not ask me. No, I was never a believer.
Starting point is 00:37:36 No. Never. Like, see Baby, baby, baby, baby and all that. I'm no bothered about baby. I loved swag. Swag was a great song. Like I became, no, the album swag. Oh, I'm talking about the song.
Starting point is 00:37:49 No, the full album swag. Is there a song called Swag? I don't know. Swag, Swag on you. I like to be everything you want. Let me talk to you. Boyfriend. Boyfriend, sorry.
Starting point is 00:38:03 That goes to show you how much I know. No, Swag's the one that came out last summer and it's like daisies and all that. And I say, I'm here you're going. All those ones. Okay. Love them. Love these songs. Yeah, I'm just so not on that wavelength of Justin Bieber songs, to be fair.
Starting point is 00:38:24 But I liked that song. Yeah. I liked Hayley Bieber. She's gorgeous. Thoughts on Spina Carpenter. Not asked about her either, guys. I'm no arsed about her. I think she's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And I bet you her shows are amazing. I'm just not that girly. I'm not that girl at all. I'm not either. I'm really not either. I was more interested in the house, music, fucking stage and anything. I'm just, that's just me. I just love that sort of music at a festival.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I would not thank you to watch a screen of carpenter. But you would drag me along and I would have the fucking tie-in-life. You would have a time of your life. And I would know them. Do you know what I mean? See that sort of the music you like, I know but don't know who it is. Yeah. But sometimes I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I just, I do love waiting to see everyone's outfits. Yeah, me too, to be fair. Right. I do love that. What I don't love. and I'll just be honest here, is, oh, they miming. Why we're still miming? Why we're still miming?
Starting point is 00:39:20 Words. What you mean, like TikToks? Aye, why we're still mining? She says as we have mimed on our TikTok. But I'm forced into that. Zoe is absolutely forced into that, may I add. But what I'll also say is, I get that it's to... Influencer Olympics.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Are you okay? No. This is the influencers all coming. You're being stowed by all their voodoo dolls right now. I know. Don't diss my festival. And I'm fine where you're getting all. your desert picks and that.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I'm so here for that. I want to see them. I want the content. Yeah. But see, once you're in there, go and you just go and have a good time. This is what I've kind of noticed about Coachella, because I do think quite a few influencers have shared their experience and their stories, like behind the scenes. Yeah. And I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. I think the actual festival itself
Starting point is 00:40:02 and the music, if you're pure into Justin Bieber, I'd imagine that would have been unreal for you. Sabrina Carpenter. You've got front row. I think the logistics of Coachella sound hellish to me. They do, by the way. And like any festival, though, probably, but like you're in the middle of the desert. So far.
Starting point is 00:40:18 How do you get there? How do you get back? Where do you stay? I'm confused. I am confused. And they say the traffic's so bad. So like, apparently you're sitting in traffic for like three hours before you even get there. No.
Starting point is 00:40:28 It's killing my vibe. Yeah, Maddie's Rooms with that. No, it's killing my vibe. Carrie, one of our best mates when it was Beyonce. And you couldn't even have drinks outside at the stage at that point. They've changed that now, apparently. But I don't know. Just doesn't seem like a festival that I've ever really been that bothered about going,
Starting point is 00:40:47 but I really absolutely love consuming the content. Yeah, same. I love looking at the outfits. I think it's like everyone's playground to dress up. They absolutely love it. They look gorgeous. Fair foxt year. And you know in the background, you do actually see, like, quote, normal people
Starting point is 00:41:03 that are there just in like denim shorts and a tank top and trainers. They also, it's meant to be actually a really good festival. I think years ago it probably was a very, very good music festival. but I'm from music lovers. What I just find... It's about 25 million stages. I know it's massive. What I just find is the contrast
Starting point is 00:41:22 between like... Glittery dance costumes to denim shorts and a vest top. Yeah. I love that relaxed look though. I think it's chic. Oh, I'm choosing the denim shorts and the vest top, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I'm here for that. Kendall Jenner, especially with the cat backwards. I don't have the body, though, to pull off anything but. So... I can't even pull off the vest top of the denim shorts I can't be like the demon if you listen to site this you don't talk about
Starting point is 00:41:49 but I just think they're no comfy and it's meant to be freezing at night get all the beads and all that they just kind of be comfy but I love consuming it people go so much effort of making the outfits and planning it for like months in advance and I guess if you're really really into that sort of vibe
Starting point is 00:42:10 then that is just the perfect place for you to go. I know. I really shut off. But like you say, I could imagine people are like content final bosses. Like they just absolutely just want picks, picks, picks, picks, and I bet you it must be quite infuriated with people. It's like, can we just go and have a good time?
Starting point is 00:42:24 I know. And also you're spending all this money to go there, stay there, tickets, outfits, blah, blah, blah. The pressure from everybody waiting for your outfit. There's time difference. And how much do you actually want to be there? Or is it for the job? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Which I understand both. Don't get me wrong. Not like shitting all over them. But I just am so not, and why would I be? But just so not a content queen that I just couldn't be asked. I don't think anyone listen to this could probably be asked that. You'd take one pick me and I'd be like, that's disgust. I'm not taking any more. And I'd just go and get passionate of a good time.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Yeah. I'll tell you who has been a great time. Carly Jenner and all their pals. I love her so much. Me too. Like she's back to being the at girl to me. I was saying this in our group chat. Like, Kylie Chenna, to me, is the most unrelatable, relatable girl that I follow right now. Like, she's just a young girl living her best life.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Absolutely. And you were like, cute little billionaire. So someone said, yeah, she's really cute little billionaire. And I was like, yeah, cute little billionaire. Do you know who she's up there? Like, same power with? Dolea. Exactly her.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Yeah. They both post like just their dumps. Just normal. Just wet they're up to dumps. Perfect dumps. Yeah. behind the scenes sort of vibey picks, with their pals, with their men. And all their friends are commenting, like, having inside jokes of what each other.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I just feel like, you're just so normal. You're just normal people with a billion pat on your bank account. Exactly that. I'm a big fan of the Kardashians at the minute. Well, sorry, the Jenner's, should I say. The Jenners, yeah. And, you know, I've said it before. I'm not really that fussed.
Starting point is 00:43:58 I like them. I think they say it seems so, so sound. But I've just never really watched, like, keeping up with the Kardashians. No, me neither. I'm no bothered with the Kardashians. I know if I watched it, I probably absolutely love it. What about did you see that Kendall Jenner was apparently snogging Jacob Belorgie? How'd you say a second name?
Starting point is 00:44:13 Unsure. I like that. I like that vibe, but I thought she was with Bad Bunny. Have I missed that on that one? I don't know, but people say she's a lesbian. I've heard that she swings both ways. Wow, I would. Maybe she's the one that could do it.
Starting point is 00:44:29 What you're thinking about it? No, I think Juleleepa for me. She's equally gorge. She's so gorge. Her man is also. So gorge, gorge, gorge. Great couple. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Great, a couple. Kylie Jenner's tits. Oh my God. Oh. Br. She is so gorgeous. She's just sexy. She is.
Starting point is 00:44:52 But in quite a, I want to say low effort. I mean, it's no, because she's... I act like a silly little way. Yeah, like it's not low effort because she's paid millions of pounds to have that body, but still low effort to me. Yeah. Who was your best dressed at Coachella? That's a hard question
Starting point is 00:45:09 I don't know my answer by the way I couldn't even tell you off their names anyway I just look at their picks and double tap That's a hard question I loved The Oz girls The Aussie girls Who's that then
Starting point is 00:45:24 Ashton Wood Emily Vens They were all with Tiger Mist Okay cute They were all really cute Yeah yeah I know who you mean Just like wee mini skirt A vest
Starting point is 00:45:32 Or like a wee kind of crochet top and wee shorts, like quite, quite cute. I loved Molly McFarland's Day 2 outfit, specifically. Was that the Pocodat? Wee polka dot, low-rise trousers. I just think your body's the outfit for a lot of these girls. Molly's body was the outfit. Get it out.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Yeah. Don't cover that shit up, get it out. What was the third outfit that she wore? I like the head thing. Love the secret head thing. The wee lacey head scarf sort of thing. that. You would wear a head thing like that, I think.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Probably would. I like the little tea coes at the moment. I think they're gorgeous. I wouldn't know that. You would. Not, get a peahy that wouldn't you work. I'm trying to think who else I thought was great dress. I think Sophie Piper from Love Island.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I didn't see her. Way above the Love Islanders. Get out of that group and get with the models. She's too funny. Her and Josh are too funny. Did you see that TikTok? The rear word is like, The Narty Water.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Me and my friend Mel, because we absolutely used to love, like UK Grimes, silly, silly music like that. You know, like, we need some more girls in here. We need that one. So I think it might, who the fuck sang it? And we sent it to each other like, why don't we know this song?
Starting point is 00:46:48 Sophie Piper and Josh have made this massive and get the nasty water. They're just really funny together. Love! I just think they never split up. Visually wise, though. What? Just so too good for him.
Starting point is 00:47:00 No, I think they're really suitable. No, she's unbelievable. He's got nice eyes. I bet you're in real life, his eyes are gorgeous. It probably has gorge in real life. They say all those men are. Yeah. But, I mean, Millie from Love Island looked great,
Starting point is 00:47:12 but I think she always pulls it together. Millie's gorge. But I'm no keen on all those, like, over-the-top, rappy-roundy, beady, like, all that. I'm not overly keen on them. Olivia Taylor, so our facialist, she was at Cichella, her and her friend, I think her friend's Canadian. Their outfits were amazing.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Did you see them? So cool, effortless. 10 out of 10. I just think if you've got the board to get a low-rise pair of bag of jeans on. A little vest. A little vest. A big... Some gorgeous son is.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Like, not like a chunky boot, but like a biker boot. Yeah. Really nice bracelets, chunky bracelets. A cool hat. 10 out of 10 from me. And I've got some thoughts
Starting point is 00:47:52 that I'm going to share over on Patreon about a fashion choice that quite a few people are making right now which I need to discuss. Right, okay. So, yeah, Cotella Round. up, unsure if I would ever go but I absolutely would if the ticket
Starting point is 00:48:07 was available to me free of Chiaj. Probably won't cherry after this. If you're lifted and laid as well. Yeah. Because Jilly was saying to us when she went with her brand versus when she went on her own it's just a completely different experience. Like they look after you get you there easily,
Starting point is 00:48:24 get you out easily. You basically got everything there for your taking whereas obviously you've known if you're going on your own. Yeah. I just don't think. I think a festival actually really is my thing. I'm not being to many, but when I go, I'm no fuss by them. I don't like the full port-a-loat situation.
Starting point is 00:48:42 I don't like the outside cures. I don't like having to travel. I just want to go. I'd love to do that for the... But I'd glamp. Like, bucket list moment. Yeah. Get that on your list.
Starting point is 00:48:53 We've tried a million times. I know. But the full kind of thing, I would rather just like book a ticket to Justin and go see him in the hydro. Yeah. Is you going to... tour then is he? I think so. Is it? And Jason Berrick get a ticket. I break him a second. Does Jason like him as well? He loves him. Does he? He's a big fan of Justin Bieber. Is he actually, Zoe? That's, that was not my bingo gods.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Watching all the videos for Cichella and that. No, that's so sweet. He just, he appreciates like how clever his music is. Yeah. Because he does like a lot of like clever things. He like, see that you con or yuckin, whatever you call that song? That's him singing. Yeah, yeah. But he's obviously, yeah, and like, and all that, but like just like cool things and that he loves all that. When Thames came out, I was like, this is what I'm talking about. Yeah. But apparently, you know the YouTube that he was doing in the background?
Starting point is 00:49:44 Apparently that is because he doesn't have all his license into his old music. So it was a way of him getting around that to play that. That's clever. But I also even if it wasn't, that loved that because it was. Nostalgia for everyone. That's like a big pure believer. And he became someone by putting a YouTube video up singing. Aw.
Starting point is 00:50:01 That's how he got scared. I guess you would say. So I quite like that. And I liked how he sang over, his like baby voice with his voice now. Do you know what I mean? Well, you were watching it live?
Starting point is 00:50:13 Haley must just be like, wow. And their little son, did you see him with his little bag and stock? I went straight onto Google and I was like mini-barck and stocks. His name's Jack. I know.
Starting point is 00:50:23 It's a nice name, isn't it? J.B. Jack's a cute name. That might be my surname one day. Maybe. What the hell? You know, my grandmother told me to never trust a man with the two names that are the same first name. Not a lot of people say that.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Right. So we're going to end on a wee dilemma. Let's freckin' gall. So, you know last week when we shared you the I'm Shagging My Boss dilemma? Yeah. She messaged just this morning to say that she listened to the episode and she feels unbelievable for getting it all out. She was crying her eyes out listening to our advice. And she really feels like she's sharing my eyes.
Starting point is 00:51:05 with two best friends. That's lovely. She doesn't have any update for us, obviously, because she said he just listened to our advice this morning, but that was really sweet. I hope that helps. Right. So, based off that, we had a really good email.
Starting point is 00:51:16 So somebody else, we asked you girls, like, we really want to hear your advice as well. It's not just us too. People probably screaming at us sometimes, like, get it out. Say this to her. See more. Hey, girls, I love the pod.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It keeps me company working from home, and I miss all the chat you used to get in an office. Same, sis. Same. Just listen to this week's episode and I have a few things I want to give my two-pence some. Here for that, by the way. For the girl who is in the situation ship with their boss, I understand you never start with the intention where it ends up.
Starting point is 00:51:45 So with peace and love, even if this man left his wife, you're in a false reality. Okay. Even if you and your boss ended up together, the story of how you got together would overshadow everything. And a relationship, it will be comparable to an affair because you're getting the excitement without responsibility of a relationship. A quickie in the office is a lot sexy than arguing over who's making the dinner. You are torturing yourself because you know you need to get out of it.
Starting point is 00:52:08 How would you feel if it was your husband who was in your shoes? Never mind, you are letting a man cause turmoil in your life, relationship and workplace, and giving him the key to cause so much destruction in your life. The right thing and the hard thing is normally the same thing. So be brave and be the type of person who you want to show up for because now it's a choice that you are actively making. Wow, I love that quote by the way. I like that advice a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Very wise. But there's more. Also, on the would you rather have an emotional affair or find out a physical one, I was a casualty to this. It went no further than a kiss from what I'm told. She was a lot younger and he said she was just a distraction, some escapism. But my ex threw my life into a tailspin and destroyed our relationship for what was essentially a pen pal. Because I could justify the physical betrayal. I really struggled to get angry with him during the breakup and I found it so much harder to close the door on what was once. a wonderful and happy relationship. I'm done with him now, but after a year of letting him treat me like a mug and come in
Starting point is 00:53:10 and out as he pleased when I'd see a glimmer of the man I fell in love with, I'm done with him now, but sometimes I wish they had slept together because I think it would have been it easier to hate him. Yeah. Absolutely loving all dilemmas and the podcast. Thanks for that. That's the thing. Leaving a situation with no hate must be really difficult.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Yeah. But I always notice in people you do get to an angry stage at some point. regardless of whether there was no badness in it, I guess, because you almost do, I don't know, maybe resent them from letting things go on for too long or whatever. Or you just see things that you didn't see in the time. Before. That maybe help.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Yeah. We'll cover that next week. Yeah, let's do that. Because hopefully we'll have more stories coming in by then because like we say, we do this on the morning of the pod, actually, coming out. Yeah. Right, so we have a juicy story. Hey, girls.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Glad to see you both back. I have the juicest, unreal story. to tell what the hell. I met my girlfriend in a gym when I was an instructor for a blade's class. We were friends to begin as she was married to a man with children. Through the time we realised that we have feelings but didn't act on them. Fast forward she left her husband and we began the start of her romance. However, I had a jealous ex-girlfriend that I left almost a year prior to this and she caught wind that I was now dating another female. This ex-reached out to a strange man, my girlfriend's ex-husband, and they began a
Starting point is 00:54:34 hate campaign. Shut up. Not only did they join forcees, but they went into a relationship together and built up a plan to ruin my relationship with my girlfriend. My ex-daught us for months and then cornered us in a car park before attacking my girlfriend. May I add for no reason but jealousy. She then attacked me to which I had to have emergency back surgery. You'd think it would have stopped by then wrong.
Starting point is 00:54:59 She then followed us and a repeat of the first attack occurred again while we had innocent children with us. But this point we'd been split for two and a half years and I had been with my girlfriend for a year and a half. All I can say is unhinged, unwell and needs serious intervention. This girl is now trying to replicate my life, going to the same gym, befriending everyone I was friends with, changed careers to mine and simply has not moved on almost three years later. What would you guys do in this situation? I've moved house, changed jobs, changed so much of my life and have gotten conditions in place where she cannot come near me. Please make me anonymous. Sorry, what?
Starting point is 00:55:35 I'm scared. Emergency back surgery. Because she attacked you. Surely you can phone the police for harassment. Well, she says she's got her fingers in place, isn't she? Exactly, but that is the first thing I would have been doing. Well, let's hope she copied you so much as she listens to this podcast and gets the hint. Fucking weirdo. Yeah, so she's obviously contacted to police to some extent.
Starting point is 00:55:56 I think that's honestly all you can do. Like, what else can you do? You've changed jobs, you've changed jobs, you've changed, X, Y and Z and now you're just going to need a lever to it. And I wonder if you're still with your ex. Yeah, because if that was to come up with a big dark plan, surely they weren't actually into each other. That's terrifying. Imagine actually...
Starting point is 00:56:15 I think that's actually scary, by the way. Living your life where you just completely consume someone else's and just revel in jealousy and hate. They need serious therapy. Yeah, they do. They need serious help. I would just honestly just stay in your own lane. You've got those things in place.
Starting point is 00:56:31 she can't touch you. If you do feel really scared, then I would definitely contact the police again. But... I think if you ever get, like, a sniff of anything else happening, I would just go straight to police or whoever it is you've spoken to that's putting these things in place.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Back surgery, by the way. Surely to fuck she would need to go in prison of some sort of she's hurt you that bad. Yeah, no, because that's actually assault. That can't even be class as minor assault if you've actually had surgery. Sorry. I'm unsure the logistics in that one,
Starting point is 00:57:05 but I think you know that it's all through jealousy. You're happy in your situation. As long as, was it our new girl friend that's got the kids. Yeah. As long as the kids are safe and nothing ever harms them, then just fucking laugh at them and leave them to it. Yeah, they'll get over it eventually. It might take them a bit longer.
Starting point is 00:57:23 I know exactly. The folk are weird. Let us know if you've got a crazy ex and what's the craziest thing that they've done. Do you ever think, does someone think I'm weird? Or are you a crazy X? What have you done? Admit it, tell us it's a safe space.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Do you think you were ever a crazy X? Yeah. Right. No. I think I was just young and scorned. I think I was definitely... What would you class as crazy? I think things like...
Starting point is 00:57:56 I mean, I don't know maybe this isn't class as scary because I know like a lot of people would have done it but I've never done anything like dry by a house, see if they're there with like the new person or in their old house if they're still in their house or whatever. I've never like... I don't know if that's crazy though.
Starting point is 00:58:12 I think you just probably want confirmation and closure. That's what I mean. I think a lot of people do these things and it's probably quite normal I guess with an age, especially I'm thinking about... And obviously you're getting your friends to do it as well. I love it. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:24 I'm thinking about when we're young. Yeah. But I don't think I was ever necessarily really that crazy either. I've never been one for the full like social media stalking like winding yourself up about it.
Starting point is 00:58:39 I probably was like that to be fair but back then it was Facebook for me. Yeah. I just think any situation I was in I think just reflection I probably wasn't that bothered. I definitely had like moments of like on the bedroom floor crying
Starting point is 00:58:55 like thinking you would never feel better again. Yeah. And like asking people what folk were up to and all that But physically didn't ever go and do anything as such I don't know I'd love to know what crazy things people have done Yeah I mean I think we spoke about that before
Starting point is 00:59:12 We have because remember you were saying about your friend To put the sardines in the carton poles Like things like that I've just never really done anything Kind of out there like that Kind of wish I had That's brilliant him I think I think that's revenge
Starting point is 00:59:26 That's unreal That's unreal cheated on. Mm-hmm. Like, fair enough. Yeah. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:31 let us know of any crazy crazy behavior you've been up to... No, I think I want to know I think we've heard about crazy. I want to know
Starting point is 00:59:38 if you've done anything crazy. Like, are you the crazy ex? Mm-hmm. People are so fighting to admit that once they've moved on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Because you think fucking hell that was weird why they do that. Let us know. I'll definitely get a few pals who've done crazy things have you. Let's hope they're right in
Starting point is 00:59:56 and tell us. let's hope well hope you enjoyed that episode thanks for tuning in we love you so much and if you want to follow us with more episodes
