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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
Is it,
um,
is it bipolar maybe?
Yeah,
I think so.
I don't know.
Maybe,
not sure.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Great, a couple.
Kylie Jenner's tits.
Oh my God.
Oh.
Br.
She is so gorgeous.
She's just sexy.
She is.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
That's unreal
That's unreal
cheated on.
Mm-hmm.
Like,
fair enough.
Yeah.
But yeah,
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
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.
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
and tell us.
let's hope
well hope you enjoyed
