I just said that to be adventurous. Okay, right. Sorry, I've got something to tell you. I've been saving. So basically, tell the podcast what I said earlier. You've got something to tell me, but you're not going to tell me until we're on here for a real reaction. Yeah, and I've said that we've got to stop talking throughout the week now.

There's got to be full, true reactions. Any major gossip I have or milestones, I'm telling you on this podcast. Yeah, no communication. No, not at all, not at all, from this point on. Okay, so to where any of our upcoming listeners, probably all three of them, you will soon start to learn a lot about our differences. One being how my life is somewhat a running joke to my group chat, and some people in this room will also know that I'm just all over the place.

Absolutely. A lot on one's plate, they would say, maybe an indication to the name of this podcast. Even TikTok's diagnosed me with ADHD. So I think that's my four you page is full of ADHD, TikTok. So that's not great. But earlier today, I went to get some Invisaline, which again was a bit of a shock to the group chat.

I got Envisaline and my bottom teeth, which has got a little bit of a lisp on that. That's because every week you put in the chat that you're going for this new cosmetic situation and nobody knows anything about it. Nobody even knew you had a squint tooth. I did. Okay, you do.

Yeah, I did. And I said to me, I sent the picture on the dress. chat, I went, nobody dare tell me my bottom teeth are perfect. And so I was like, okay, I take that back. Yeah, they're not. You need the place. Okay, so I went and got these Invisaline, okay? So, it's Scotland's, as we've said, only day of summer.

I came back and I have like a shared apartment thing and I got the picnic blanket thing out. I thought, you know what? I'm going to actually lay there in the sun. Right, my teeth are hurting, my jaw's hurting. I've just had this new brace fitted 10 minutes prior to this event, okay? Richard comes out the house and he goes, do you want anything to eat? I says yes. Obviously with the new gut issues at the moment,

the only thing is I can really eat are carrots and pineapple, so the picnic snacks weren't that adventurous. And he goes to the shop, he comes back and I says, oh, I'm quizzing him all about these. He's just recently had them. I was like, so I have to take them out every time I eat? He's like, yeah, you do it, and then you have to rinse them, blah, blah. So I was like, oh, go inside and just go and grab that

like Envisaline case for me, will you? He's like, no, just take it out and just rest it on that at a book with me. He's like, just put it on the book and just eat. and you can go in and rinse it after. Anyway, munching away on my carrot and my neighbour comes out and we start speaking a bit about South Africa

because she's South African, I think, she's from that. Is that the one with a really nice dog? Yes, she comes out, we start speaking about that because that's where I mean Richard want to go in the next break. I'm really deep in conversation about South Africa and...

I don't even know where it's going which is what's made me nervous. So I'm sitting there on the picnic blanket, loving life. I'm cuddling the dog, rolling around on the picnic blanket, rubbing his belly, blah, blah, blah. Next thing here, I'm like, Maxie, what are you got in your mouth? No, no, no, no, no. Zoe, what was it? It was my retainer that I had 10 minutes before in the dog's mouth.

He's munching on my retainer. She's got him by the jaw, opening his mouth, getting her hand at the back. and she went, oh, Jessie, it's your retainer. I'm like pretending, you know, I'm like, I'm like, oh, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. I've got it in my hand. I can feel the dog spittling it. I'm like, ha-ha. Why did you not have the case?

Why in the case? Well, I know this, I know this. Well, I did have the case, but was in the house. So that's why I said to Richard, please go and get it. And it was like, no, just put it on the book for now. Feeling it in my hand. And I'm like, it feels okay, it feels okay. So she, I carry on the conversation.

In the back of mine, I'm panicking thinking, oh, my God, I've just spent so much money on this brace. chewed to bits. My brace is chewed to bits. So anyway... So is that we've got in right now? No, okay. Next step. So then obviously I walk into reach out, what I'm going to do? What am I going to do? I was like, I've just had this 10 minutes before. The dog is chewed. I hope she doesn't listen to this podcast

because she's going to feel so guilty. But and I rinsed it and he was like, bending it back. He's like, it's fine, it's fine. So I've clicked it back in. It managed to clip, but the back bit was flicking up. And he was like, no, no, it's not going to work. You're not going to be able to do it. It's make me feel so uncomfortable that you've got something in your mouth that a dog's had. Yeah, but okay, I don't, right?

I did, I tried, yeah, I did, yeah, but I did rinse it. At one occasion. Okay, I rinsed it, I rins it. And then, it's like, you're going to have to rip off day two, week two. Bear in mind, this is where your teeth have already moved, so this is tight. Sorry, right, you've got week two. In my mouth right now. On day one.

Yeah, yeah. And he said to me, don't change it until day eight. I've got week two in my mouth. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up with no teeth, probably a dislocated jaw. It's killing. I'm too nervous to tell the dentist. No, you simply can't tell them. I cannot tell them.

That's like saying my dog chewed my homework. My dog chewed my retainer. It actually happened. That would only happen to me. Yeah, it would only happen to you. But I'm quite stressed about that. So yeah, that's great. That's my story.

That just goes to show it everybody. Your teeth are going to be agony tomorrow. Yeah, and you know when I talked them out earlier to gone to house and I'm meant to eat, I could feel them sort of like, they felt like they were wobbling. I think that's probably quite normal, right? enough for braces but the dentist is probably going to know well he's going to know when he

listen to this freaking podcast willie is he quite savvy with this kind of stuff i don't know maybe i know his girlfriend well that if anyone was wondering what jess is like that is what she's like and it's absolute chaos all the time and to be quite frank i'm absolutely sick of it and this is why this podcast is called a loss on you plate so every week i'm going to probably try and make myself feel a bit better and ask some of you what's on your plate, trying to deflect my own real life issues. And also I want to know what's physically on your plate in terms of your dinner plate as well

because I think that's quite interesting. We're going to have a little stint every week. We're going to do you say it. Say it. Say it. We're going to do a little stink called spit or swallow. If you know what that means then you're a dirty pig. No, so it's going to be in terms of food. So I think I

asked on my Instagram, maybe, oh my God, maybe a coming up to a year ago now, and it was probably one of the best Q&As I've ever done. I just basically said to people, what is your weirdest food combination you've ever done? And oh my God, there are some freaks out there. And they sent in the answers, and I responded to them. And lots of people relating to some,

some were not like, ooh. So I think I'm going to make you my new guinea pig and you are going to try lots of these weird combinations. You've got to either be blindfolded, and you're going to have to tell if you were spilted. Blindfolded. Blindfolded. And you're going to tell me if you're going to tell me,

You're going to spit or you're going to swallow it. Right, but I can do it back to you as well. Yeah, yeah, of course. And any guess that we have on the pod as well. People to send in ones because I'm going to choose things that I'm like, oh, it's not going to be that bad. No, but I'm choosing them for you. Yeah, but for you.

If I was doing it for you. You'd be nice. Right, okay. Well, I would think it's bad, but I'm fussing you're not. So then you'd be like, oh, quite like that. Yeah. And then, yeah, so we're going to get lots of guests. on the show we're only thinking maybe once a month

I want to get some real crazy people on the pod I don't want to get anybody mega famous or nothing like that I'm thinking people that I've got the weirdest jobs the things I want to ask them a thousand questions about I want to learn I want to educate myself

experts yes experts talk about things that people don't like to talk about so they can listen to this yes absolutely get opinions yep tips hints and tricks yeah perfect absolutely I can't wait to start.

Could you? No. I'm going to have to take this dirty laugh as well. I bet you your eardrums are exploded. Apart from the fact you absolutely forced me to do this. I'm excited. I'm excited. To see what comes.

And I also think as well, because I have got a lot of Scottish followers on my Instagram. And for anybody that is maybe new to this pod, I do live in Glasgow, and I've been here around seven years in October. I have definitely not lost my accent, but I think I do pick up, certain phrases but there are still things that I say that some people are like what yeah like

miss out random words in your sentence I'm going sharp do you want out it's not English it's just not that's Lester so I think that we're going to do a bit of comparison of Scottish and English I think that would be quite fun yeah lots and lots of things we're going to just see how it goes go with the flow that's what we like do we go week by week see what you guys like want to hear yep and then you can anything that you think you want us to discuss you can send it on the um a lot on your wait i need to remember the handle of the instagram at a lot on your plate instagram just on the mic and yeah anything that we want to discuss we can do that it's our part we do what we want so and we're thinking that we're going to do a new episode every single Tuesday yeah just simply

so i can say the phrase see you next Tuesday and you've just committed to have your choose I have, and I think this is a good thing as well because I've got, I don't want to let Zoe down I need somebody with me on this pod to actually give me a kick up the ass and record. So, yeah, it's happening. Glad to be here. I'm glad to be here.

I'm glad to be here. We'll see if I stick around. I really hope you do, please do. Okay, well, looking forward to seeing you again, Zoe. Make sure you don't text me a week. Save it for next week. Okay, I'll speak to you the week. Okay, love you, bye.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
