That's 5-0-000-shock to my absolute core. Wow. How are you? What have you been up to?
Starting point is 00:00:39 Today I'm having an ugly day. I think Zoe was a bit shocked. So, Messaging her says, I'm actually turning up to the podcast looking like shit today. And I think she was like, well, okay, you were not lying. TMI, but I've come on my period. I don't actually see. You look shit at all. Yeah, but I could see it in your face. You just don't look good as me because I was at work. I look like crap
Starting point is 00:00:59 I've come on a period I've got one spotty I didn't tell myself I was gorgeous in the mirror today because I genuinely think the mirror would have said who you fucking kidding love I can't see one spot
Starting point is 00:01:12 What look I can only see one Anyway what have you been up to please I had a busy week last week I think I said on the pod that I was doing those photo shoots and the filming for some companies which would be out soon

Yeah I did It went really quick some lovely people and yeah it was quite tiring i don't really know what i did at the weekend oh went out didn't i went out again mr too just in glasgow good fun i it's actually my birthday tomorrow i'm gonna be 32 yeah quite old actually like i actually cannot believe i've been on this planet over 30 years it's actually blowing my mind to be honest with you and also did you know
Starting point is 00:01:47 tomorrow three years ago when i left to climb killie isn't that much maybe you should do it again it's an anniversary well i really want to do my base camp everest i want to do something crazy again. No, I don't think you should do anything that's bigger than Killam Jaro. Why? Because it will just kill my... I think you nearly died. I don't know if you remember. We all thought you were dead. But I have... There was nothing that could beat that high and then COVID happened and then I couldn't plan. I had everything planned. I was like, I'm going to go and do a triathlon. I'm going to climb the peak of Everest. That's what I thought I was going to do. Until I realised you would
Starting point is 00:02:21 definitely die if you did that. Yeah. And maybe give that a thought. So I definitely need to get something booked in for that. What else I went up to today? I've been having a dilemma with Richard because as you know I hate my living room and Christmas is coming and it's just dark, it's miserable, I want to revamp it and get it all light so I've been looking at sofas I just don't like
Starting point is 00:02:39 anything. You're going to do it before Christmas? Yeah that's the aim. I want to try and get a sofa in before Christmas but the lead time's a long. I know I was going to see you on it you or don't know. I know but I can't decide on which one I want I want like a corner sofa. What are they called a shades... Shays long? Yeah but one of the same... That's like what I've got?
Starting point is 00:02:55 Yeah, one like that but not too big. I want cream really comfy but I just can't say so that's fantastic and you'll be pleased to know that I have nearly finished the Paris guide everyone no Jess Jessica jess you've told me for three days and I know it was going to be up no but it's happening what do you know I need to know what you do all day well yesterday you know exactly what I was doing but like five days a week what do you do? Fuck all. Everything takes so long.
Starting point is 00:03:33 No, I'm actually doing stuff but my to do list never seems to go down. Can you go on do anything? I have to be honest that Paris Zoe you would have a hard stack if you saw my to do list okay
Starting point is 00:03:47 my to do list is giving me the fear but at the very bottom is Ibith Ibitha guide on their update Ibitha guide finished Paris guide is at the bottom because it's not priority for the top but you need to work in the right order so do the guide for the place you've just been that's the above well half a year to do this is my to do this
Starting point is 00:04:09 very true very true I do know what it's like and anyway what you've been up to swiftly moving on before you get in trouble I was in the south of France Oh, here she goes. Here she goes, traveller. On a high horse telling me what I do all day
Starting point is 00:04:29 and she's swaning off on a fifth holiday of the week. Yeah. Well, it was one of the best trips in my life, you know. Hmm. I feel like I've really done it well. Stayed in Nice, spent the whole first day in Nice, six bottle of wines down. Six? Yeah, six. One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:04:44 That was expensive over there. No, I actually wasn't. Really? Weird and all, quite shocked. It was scorching. 24 degrees. I actually caught a tan, kind of. Yeah, you do look golden.
Starting point is 00:04:54 And that's why. I didn't have a speckle of SPF on either. Terrible. Anyway, first day in Nice, then the second day I went to Cannes, 50-minute train to Cannes, dead easy. Spent the day there, that's where I did my work that I had to do, which was just like setting up a fancy set-up thing on a yacht, which was fun. We had lunch on a yacht.
Starting point is 00:05:13 We had lunch on a yacht, which was unexpected. I'm confused. Why do you need to set up on a yacht? Like, what's that all about? Because it's like a travel retail exhibition type thing. So loads of different, like, travel retail agency. set up on a yacht and whatever brands they represent, their brands, like, set up their little, like, marketing.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Like, just, like, imagery products, like, so that they get a feel for what your brand does. All right. So it's, you know, you get the little magazine on an airline that you think, does anyone actually buy from that? It's that. Yeah. So then buyers go and they'll get new product
Starting point is 00:05:43 for their airlines that work for and blah, blah, blah. Cool. But, like, Chanel and everything go, and they have, like, a full floor on, like, the big building that's next to it. It's a huge thing. I didn't, that's far as time I've done it. I didn't realize how big I think it was.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Oh, so cool. So you really recommend South of France then I'd love to go And then we just went out for dinner and can Another bottle of wine Wine bar, more wine cheese And then the next day we got the train to a place called EZE I'm not sure And it's like a little medieval town thing
Starting point is 00:06:13 We'll do little cobbled streets And then there's shops like in the walls I couldn't really go in them It was quite coshaphobic And then we got the train from there to Montecarlo, Monaco Underwhelmed by that Yeah, I remember you said that in the chat but I watched a documentary all about Monica
Starting point is 00:06:28 and I've been intrigued to go, it's quite a small place isn't it? It's a tax haven for all the rich Yeah, it's kind of like one side you're looking and there's like casino, all designer shops like amazing buildings and the other side's kind of giving Benadorn. Really? Because it's just all like really high hotels and like loads of building work going on like scaffolding everywhere. So surprised by that. I know me too
Starting point is 00:06:50 but we did manage to find a little place to have like lunch and wine and whatever down. and where all the yachts like park up. Yeah, and all those fancy cars. Yeah. But I do feel it's a place to like swan in with your yacht. And just show off. Go off, buy a new handbag and go back on your yacht and say,
Starting point is 00:07:05 woo, look at me, I'm rich. Right, okay. Which obviously isn't me, so I'm going to slag it. But it's good to people watch, I'd imagine. Yeah, no, it was quite good. And then, yeah, that's pretty much what I did. And that was only two nights and I squeezed it all in. I know your pictures on Instagram looks lovely.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, it was really worth it. I really, really recommend. and we probably didn't choose to do the most expensive things that you can do but every place we went to I found like online that was really highly recommended and it really wasn't that expensive at all like one of the bottle of wines we got which was really good was only like 16 euro for a bottle yeah and the most expensive bottle we got was like 45 brilliant isn't it yeah and that was for that one that's quite popular rosy wine it's like short fat bottle kind of what's called yeah that
Starting point is 00:07:48 I think that was like 40 euro I love a pale me too but all the wines are pale dry there. Yeah, of course. All the wine's just so good. So it's great. Loved it. Would you recommend? Lovely job.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Do you treat yourself to anything? No, I actually didn't. But we saw a really nice jewelry shop and then we went to go back on the last day and it was shut. Oh, that's a shame. Sounds gutted about that. Well, I've got your present. What is it? Your belated present.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Watch out my eyes and put my hands out. This took 16 days to arrive. It's not even, close your eyes. It's not even anything great, but it's great for you. Okay. your eyes. How's I open this? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I hope it's nice. I'm sure it will be. Oh. Oh my god, the suspense is killing me. Me too. Is it in here? Ha ha. Let me see it yet.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Oh, it's cute. I love that. Is that why you were asking what phone I had? Yeah. You're a freak. I thought you were just trying to call for me. Let me look at yours. Yeah, you need a new one. I've got Zoe a case-
Starting point is 00:08:48 How'd you say it? Case-Castify. Case-C-Tify case. I see them all over Instagram. all over Instagram. And I'll see all these, like, big-time Instagrammers get gifted about telling them and I'm like, fuck me, it's about £500 worth of phone cases.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yeah, by either they're so expensive. It's extortionate, but good quality. Yeah, it is really good. I got one for me too. Obviously, I got an evil eye. Perfect. That's just as describes us as people. For anyone that's really intrigued, I'll post it on
Starting point is 00:09:12 the Instagram story. Yeah, oh yeah, sorry, it's a case to file phone case with pigs all over it because he's obsessed with pigs, micro pigs. My favourite animal? She doesn't eat bacon. No. And see when I eventually get a house, I will get a microwave, I think. Do you want to fuck off?
Starting point is 00:09:28 Do you know what? I would love to happen. Because they never, they always grow big. No, that's, I would want that to happen. Imagine having a huge wig pig in your garden. Oh, I would just love that. Little barn. Imagine it in your flat for a second, but yeah, you've got a house and fine. I can't get it on right now. I'm getting all flustered.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Thanks. Pleasure. I'm not hugging you just now because we're in a recording situation. Cool. Yeah, we are. So today What else you've been up to? Sorry, I want to know actually What has been on your plate physically
Starting point is 00:09:57 So I feel like we haven't really discussed Much food So did you eat anything nice in cans? I had some sushi Very French Not really the vibes, is it? What else did I have, Ancini? Very French
Starting point is 00:10:10 Fucking hell Right, okay I'll speak about when I had lunch on the york Because that was quite kind of like That vibe Yeah That was like there was a guy Cutting up like a fresh fish
Starting point is 00:10:21 Lovely. And then there was like a crazy salad. Gorge. Couscous with roasted veg. All that kind of thing. Bread. Yum. The big bit of salty butter.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yum. That was nice. Okay. So that was probably, I mean, the reason I don't have much to say is we had dinner once out of three nights. Mm-hmm. Because obviously when you're quite far down on the wine, you forget. To eat. To eat.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah. So that's probably why. I did have one crepe for my dinner one night. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's nice. But that was really it. Delicious. So that's probably the best meal of the week, I would say, that lunch.
Starting point is 00:10:56 What's been on your plate? Well, I've been meal prepping again, so quite plain stuff, to be honest with you, because obviously I'm going away in two weeks and potentially away straight after on a very exciting peak of my career trip, but I'm not going to announce where until maybe. Why is saying potentially? Well, I don't know. Just, I don't know, touch forward, just in case it bad happens. Yeah, I are gone.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I know. So I feel like I've got two weeks now to just feel a little bit better. in a bikini so yeah i'm on the meal preps what do you have in your meal preps so it that teak paste i'm obsessed with or air fry that do you like it that is unbelievable yes that's like exactly what you get from an indian but it's easily the best better for you yeah i had it in like a pet of bread with rice mm it was really good with chicken yeah with chicken sorry yeah so i've been air frying that with that or salmon very simple then just vegetables and nice rice to be honest yeah It is pretty boring, I know, but it works, it makes me, you know, it starts me picking lots of food, it keeps me full.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah. I find rice really satisfying. Me too. I think if you add that with any sort of meat or fish or sometimes I have tuna and rice from all inches that works. Yeah, but I'm obsessed with tuna rice and avocado. I love it. It's just been my favourite in the office. And the avocado and it makes it quite like creamy and like.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Yes. Or serachia mayo on top or like chili salt. Because I used to just packet rice. Yeah. Golden vegetable or the spicy Mexican one. Yeah. And it would be the best. I'd have that every day.
Starting point is 00:12:21 when I wards it quiz. Yeah. I have it quite a lot on work, but everyone's always like, oh, back in the diet, are you? I know. I actually find it really satisfied. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:12:30 So, moving slightly on, because it's my birthday tomorrow, we thought it would be quite good to discuss things that make us feel quite nostalgic because we've been on the planet over 30 years and Zoe, you've been on the planet over 26. 27? 26. Yeah, I'm not as old as you.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And it would be quite interesting to see if anything I tell you that makes me feel nostalgic, is the same as you because obviously there's a slight difference on our age but maybe there's a crossover on a few things but what I will say things that make me feel true nostalgia are between the age of no earlier than seven I'd say maybe eight between maximum 1415 I think they're the type of age range that I feel this type of feeling where I feel great nostalgia
Starting point is 00:13:12 don't about you probably yeah I don't really remember much of my life before any earlier than that yeah like my memory is quite bad the further back I go. I've really struggled to remember things when I'm younger. Yeah. Obviously I have
Starting point is 00:13:25 sort of flashbacks of things but I guess that's sort of the age where you didn't really have much thing, any, you know, any life worries. You were just friends, you kind of were getting to know but, you were hitting puberty.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Things were getting real. I hate thinking of that. I know I hate it as with two, but he started to get interested in boys. You started to understand the things a bit more on television. So, I want to talk about, well, we asked you guys as well on the pod,
Starting point is 00:13:48 to be fair, huge list of things and I sort of categorised it in like games TV shows food let's go through that first thing I want to talk about bedroom decorating me too what themes did you have Groovy chick yes and this isn't really a theme but did you ever have the like stars and moons you put on the ceiling and they lit up in the dark yep I loved that so much loved them I remember and we lived in a flat with my dad and me and Adam shared a room and it was kind of like boys' side, one side, girl's side another, and we had them on the ceiling
Starting point is 00:14:25 and down the kind of top half of the walls and every night going to sleep my dad would put the Disney CD on but there was a scary song on it and every time that came on and I wasn't sleeping yet it had to come in and turn it all because I'd like Dad, help me! What's scary? What scary songs?
Starting point is 00:14:38 I don't know. I was actually talking about it other day when it comes on. And I was like I'll need to listen to a Disney soundtrack and remember what it was. Because it won't even be scary obviously. I was obviously just a shite bag. My gosh. But anyway, What decor did you have?
Starting point is 00:14:51 Groovy Chick. Forever Friends was my first one. Now, are you a bit young for Forever Friends? I think so, yeah. So I had that maybe when I was really young, because I'm thinking like seven. Yeah. Then Groovy Chick.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And then, this is where I was, I'm slightly concerned why this was allowed. I know exactly what I'm going to say. Playboy. I had, the biggest Playboy Bunny is NDF where it is like big sticker. Yeah. Playboy bedding.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Playboy, like, wallpaper underneath, like, the glass desk. I was obsessed with Playboy. All my friends took to this day, take the piss out of me. Do you remember the chair? The desk chair? And it was like the circle back and the circle buddy for your bum on. But why did our parents ever allow us to do that? It was just a thing.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah. I don't know why. I can't really remember what I had of Playboy as much, but Groovy Check I had all the decor and it also had the little mini fridge. Yes. And do you remember the little mini water dispenser? Yes. You're like, why did I need that in my bedroom?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Shit. I can't really think and then I think after Playboy I started going for more like bright just canvas prints on the wall Oh I know another one What? Audrey Hepburn and Marley Munro Yes the big canvas prints you'd have on the walls And I had like wallpaper of them
Starting point is 00:16:05 It's kind of weird actually My little sister was obsessed with Audrey Hepburn She said well maybe about a year ago She asked for Audrey Hepburn It must be I don't know A young kid looking up to like female icons I don't know Well I really liked all her films
Starting point is 00:16:17 I remember my dad getting me in the box set of like the DVDs. Of Audrey Hepburn? Interesting. Have you ever seen Exempties? Yeah, I loved it. Love, great film.
Starting point is 00:16:25 And then I want to know if you ever had Girl Talk magazine. I hope people on this. And you got a little toy with it? Yeah, but Girl Talk was sort of like Coming of Age magazine that you'd get and at the very back page
Starting point is 00:16:38 I really hope people on this podcast had the same thing. You would have a pen pal and you would write into Girl Talk and you would put your name and address or was it maybe like a PO box so I can't remember how it was safe back then. But you would put your details
Starting point is 00:16:52 and you would go through and you'd pick a pen pound. One day my mum advertised me in Girl Talk. I am not fucking kidding, Zoe. I thought I wouldn't hear anything from it. The postman had to knock on the door and he was like, I had his whole bag of letters. No. I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I had so many new friends. But what were they all seen? You just write random letters like, hi, Jess. My name is Alexandra from Bristol. I'm also into X, Y, Z. And you would, and then what you'd do that was, I then went through them all, picked five girls that I thought I had the most in common with, and we'd just be pen pals for like a year.
Starting point is 00:17:27 And we'd write handwritten letters to each other. Do you think I'd done that? I don't know. They're definitely not. I thought you weren't power of my pen pals. I was obsessed. No, I do remember it though, and I remember it being a thing at the back, but I think I was probably on the cusp of it.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Maybe. So it was like a thing, but it wasn't like an obsession. No. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. But then I would write for me. those smelly gel pens that you get from W8 Smiths
Starting point is 00:17:52 no I do remember them even the smell now that would even if I smelt them I would be like that is true nostalgia yeah I agree I can smell it now I also remember always wanting to buy like a big mass of rubbers yes like the big thick ones
Starting point is 00:18:08 and they sometimes have something written on them buying your new station and it go back to skills the best thing ever wasn't it and you'd want to be this coolest kid a few people actually wrote in the bendy rulers thing yes I remember that And you'd do that at the end of the desk and you'd make funny noises with it. Do you know at school?
Starting point is 00:18:27 Because I'm left-handed. I don't know if your school did this, but this is like complete, like so cruel. And I hope they don't do it anymore. But you had to graduate to pen. So you'd always write in pencil, but you would have to be graduated to be good enough and neat enough to write till they gave you a pen. But because I'm a left-hand wanker, I would then smudge. Oh, yeah, with your hand.
Starting point is 00:18:47 With my hand across. And I was a very last person in class to be graduated to Penn. And I think the teacher just felt sorry for me because my writing was, and still to this day, is dog shit. So did that happen to you at Scottish schools? No, we were just pencil all through, like, primary school and then pen for high school. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:04 But they'd actually pick you up in class and they'd be like, and remember everyone in cheer in me at the end, like, finally I was the last person in the class to actually get a pen. Had to go up and get it. Bitch. Well done for grader. Thank you. Thank you. What books did you read? I've never really read a book. So you never read Jacqueline Wilson books? Oh, that's what everyone read, but I personally didn't really know.
Starting point is 00:19:28 But I know the hype. Angus Thong's and Full Frontal Snogging? No. What? But that was the thing. I'm just not a reader. You just not going to learn into it? Yeah. But I did watch, like, Tracy Beaker. Yeah, okay. A little bit, but again, I wasn't a massive fan of that. Massive fan. Yeah. Jackie Moulson Books was around the same time, and Anger's Thong was full front. I think, the same time. Remember Jojo?
Starting point is 00:19:48 No. Get out, leave right now. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the singer. Yeah, she brought out her album and all of us, like, young girls were obsessed with them because she was, like, 14 years old and she got out.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Yeah, I had the CD to her. Yeah, she makes me feel like that when I listen to her songs. Do you know who I also had the CD to which is so inappropriate? Do you remember, is it ACON? And he sang that. I'm locked up and get me out. But it was the song that they, like,
Starting point is 00:20:09 pure swears in, it was like bleaked out. I can't remember. I used to, like, play it was so loud, my room, weird. No, I was more of a come home from school and watch like my wife and kids or friends. Like I was always more like that. On TV, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:23 But I would watch things like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network but then there was one called Trouble. Do you remember that? No. Cartoon Network's very nostalgic for me. Yeah, Dexas Liberatory. Or the cramped ones. Yes. Or what was the other one? Recess.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Yeah. I love that. Or then you went on to like, That's So Raven, The Sweet Life, Isaac and Cody, all of that. See, that was... Are you a bit old for that? I'm a bit older than that. I was more like saved by the bell.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I got both of them. Okay. Saved by that. I'm trying to think I wrote them all down here because I was remembering last night. Keenan and Kel, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Saved by the Bell,
Starting point is 00:21:01 yeah, I was obsessed with them, but they were on trouble or Nickelodeon? But they're not Disney Channel. I don't think I really watched Disney Channel. Yeah, maybe not. Did you ever sit and watch music videos? So obviously music videos back in the day were such a big thing.
Starting point is 00:21:14 They're not anymore. People still make them. But did you never remember when Christina Aguilera launched Dirty? Were you a bit too young for that? You would have been, of course you would have been. I don't know if it was. Because I would have been maybe 14 and my mum's walking into the living room of me basically doing the angry cat
Starting point is 00:21:32 and downward dog thinking I'm some sort of porn star. Sometimes I can't really tell if I lived in the moment with it or if I just remember it from then seeing it later on in my life. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I can't really tell with that one. I wonder when that came out I'm going to Google it
Starting point is 00:21:47 I remember when new songs would come out you'd sit and watch MTV No I did do that yeah You'd be obsessed waiting to see them And I still remember my jaw to the floor When I saw that I was like oh my God That came out in 2002 So that was 20 years ago
Starting point is 00:22:01 So I was only six Yeah you definitely weren't You definitely weren't doing the wap On your living room floor Who knows But did you also say to you Mom like mom I have a dance routine
Starting point is 00:22:13 Everybody go down to the living room And you'd go down and you'd perform in the middle of the living room and do a little dance for them with your friends. No, yeah, but the big one for me was me and my cousins at Christmas. Right. And we did a full play. Full, like the tivity. Yeah, it was themed.
Starting point is 00:22:28 So I remember the last one we did was Joseph in the Technicolid Dreamcoat. But my cousin Talia, who's obviously a game. I remember her, yeah. You spoke about her a lot. She made herself Joseph. And she bossed us around so much. And eventually we were like, we're not doing it anymore. And that was the last one.
Starting point is 00:22:45 You were all raging. Brilliant. And I was just at the side all time. Like, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. You've been so young compared to her. She's not. She was 30 this year. Sticking to sort of like TV shows.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I want to discuss 90s game shows. I was on a game show one time. What? In the audience. Do you remember the Saturday show? Saturday Night Live? No. It was on in like the morning or like early afternoon.
Starting point is 00:23:09 But maybe it was Scottish because I think we filmed it up here. I did it through my dancing and it was when two people would be answering questions. they would get like gunked oh like the big bucket would fall yeah i don't think i had that but i kind of know what you mean was in the audience for that one time interesting what your time you were on actually on it i don't think i was picked apart from that you'd need to refresh my memory what catchphrase right you ready for this time crystal maze fort boyard with melinda messenger both yes you'll remember that blindsie silver black do you remember 50 50 now if i showed you the logo of it it's like blue and yellow Like a kind of oval thing
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah And it was two schools that would compete against each other I used to love that What other's stars in your eyes? Stars in your eyes, brilliant And then Pop Idol, even Pop Idol was good Not as old maybe but
Starting point is 00:23:55 I suppose it is actually It was really, really old Because Will Young was the very first person To win that, was he not? I quite like him I like him as well Him and Garif Gates were like head to head Yeah
Starting point is 00:24:04 Ready Steady Cook where you'd put red Tomatoes, Green Peppers Stars in their eyes Bernard's watched Did you watch that? No I know that's not really a game show Top of the Pops
Starting point is 00:24:14 Now you gotta tell me if you remember this Man oh man It's where they It was like a dating show But they would push them into the swimming pool What? If they didn't like them They'd push them in the swimming pool
Starting point is 00:24:24 Oh it was one of the best No, don't remember that Saturday Night TV And then the big breakfast with Chris Evans Mr Blobby Oh yeah yeah My kids shows when
Starting point is 00:24:33 Like proper kids was like Tilly tubbies Yeah oh yeah I was like four then though I think Yeah What else Do you ever watch Zapp
Starting point is 00:24:41 When you came back from school. No. But it had like the different and they were like the miming guy and then it would zoom into each different person that was on that show. You're too young art attack. Oh yeah I watched that yeah. Also what was that? I went Dick and Dom's bungalow or something like that
Starting point is 00:24:56 So you, this is the generation you definitely are. We are slightly different when it comes to But obviously remember that. Being proper kids Is that what it was called? Yeah. No, do you know who I did that show with? Do you remember Mark and Sam? Maybe I saw them their face? A duo from it was pop
Starting point is 00:25:12 idol I think and they did a show was kind of like the Dick and Dom thing. Saturday morning that's the one that I did. Are they Scottish? Hmm. I don't know. Did you ever did you ever used to think you could sing this? You definitely did this. Sorry, did you ever used to think you could sing right and you'd when your
Starting point is 00:25:30 moment that had gone out you'd literally sing in your living room or a mirror and you'd perform and you would really try your best to sing at the top of your voice and you'd get ready pissed off at yourself and you didn't sound like when you used whoever you would try to make me I'm confused at what you've missed about me
Starting point is 00:25:45 but I still do that when I'm in the car or in the house not as much of flat now because there's neighbours but like I really do think I can sing like you've really missed something here
Starting point is 00:25:58 I'm just imagining you in that flat when Jason goes out it's ballads I'm not doing like cool music I'm doing like Titanic West life you're actually full on pretending and you're seriously performing out
Starting point is 00:26:13 you've got an audience in front of you. Yeah, I love it. He'd walk on stage. Honestly, I used to do it all the time. I used to do it in my dad's. He converted to the garage, but then he put little slidey doors at the back of it kind of for storage,
Starting point is 00:26:27 but then obviously when computers were a thing, which we'll go on it as well. I just put iTunes on and I would put Westlife on and I would literally sit in that tiny wee room and belt it out thinking no one could hear me. And maybe the whole street, like, what the fuck is going on there? And I just think back and you're like,
Starting point is 00:26:41 I actually dead it myself and I did that. Oh my God. Shall we talk about toys or computers? We'll do toys first. Right. Who had them fucking jelly aliens in a dome? And the fucking world told you that they could make babies. And you sit and watch them for days.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Mom, I put their bombs together, but they've still not made a baby. And she would come up like, I promise it will happen in a few days. They just like cuddled them over. It was horrible. I was told that you had to put bum to bomb. It was like back to back actually, wasn't it? Yeah. And literally every day you'd check like,
Starting point is 00:27:20 they've still, I think it's, I think it's coming out. Oh no. Who on earth? Spreaded that rumour. Let's find that person. Do they still exist? They must do. I want to find one.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Someone spreaded that rumour and we all believed it across the nation. Yeah, everyone did. Loads of people have actually written about that one. Madness, honestly. Did you ever have sticking sex? Pets? No. I do you not.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I say this rich Jesse he was like him though What do you mean? Do you know a stick insect? What like a stick of like a little animal? A stick insect?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Stop just saying the same thing Explain it Wait An actual insect Or a toy And every sticky And every sticky That'd be long
Starting point is 00:28:03 A stick insect Why do you just keep saying the same thing over? I don't know how else I was describing to you This is what they looked, and these were your pets. And they would sort of like, you'd put them in a jar, so you'd get them. I don't know where the hell my mom got them from. And I went, my mom took me away to like, I think it was somewhere like America, and it was like a two-week-long holiday.
Starting point is 00:28:25 And we'd come back and all of the eggs had hatched. And I had a whole jar of hundreds of these sticking sex. This must not be a thing. Anyway, it was a thing for me. And I was upset with them. And my other pet was a Tamagocchi Well, I was in the toy Yeah, they were my pets
Starting point is 00:28:44 Obviously the sticking sex is a real thing I don't think I wasn't massively on the Tamagocchi thing But it was a thing But see, it kind of came at the same time As like little iPods for me, I'm sure Do you remember the tiny iPod shuffle? Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:57 I remember getting that And I was obsessed with that But I was on MP4 players And CD players on the back of the bus No, I had that as well Right Little little portable one Headphones
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah Go over your head and you know on your mobile phone would you have like an ACON as you're like ringtone yeah and you had to pay
Starting point is 00:29:17 eventually had to pay for them you'd spend like all your pocket money on your ringtone and all the cool kids on the bus would have like really cool and they'd play them out of the phone I think people still do that now don't they but
Starting point is 00:29:26 and you'd be like oh my God he's got that song and his phone he's so cool no but I need to know what you're taught like what was your young toy like the youngest
Starting point is 00:29:37 maybe like a probably baby all gone. I still can smell. What's baby all gone? That's what she was called. A baby all gone and she would have like a, you'd have like a cherry on a spoon and she would put it in her mouth and it would all go. And the smell of the spoon was a cherry and
Starting point is 00:29:51 I can still smell it now. It was like a scented spoon. I think that was still a thing. Potty pockets and Barbies. I think what the baby thing you're talking about was still a thing but baby born. Yeah, that's a bit advanced for me. It was what I had. Yeah. So I remember that but I didn't have it. Yeah they cried
Starting point is 00:30:07 and you would like feed them and it would make like the way, like, noises. And then it would be as if you need to change its nappy and all that. Right. Did you have Polly Pockets? Yeah. And obviously you have Barbies, yeah. But I also went into the slightly Brats.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Oh, okay. No, I was too old for that, yeah. Brats dolls. But they were actually kind of weird. You were thinking of that. They were weird looking things, weren't they? Yeah, because they were. I loved playing with my Barbies.
Starting point is 00:30:31 I still feel like if it was so too acceptable, I've been still playing with them now. And you know what else I'd still play every day? The Sims. Every day, without question. I could play that all night long. I keep saying this, but I wasn't with that now either. Bram Fifth Dotto?
Starting point is 00:30:43 I know this sounds like I'm such a dick, right? But I went to dancing really young, and I went like four times a week. So you had a real hobby, except us only child kids had to, you know, make ourselves. So I actually think that it took me away from a lot of the Sims situation. Yeah. And then once I came around to having time for the computer and everything, I was like MSN. MSN. And that's all I did.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Did you have to do the dialogue ringtone to get on the. internet and say to your mom get off the house phone i don't know i don't think so shit we really are showing our age gap here but i feel like i'm thankful i got the cusp of everything yeah a million percent because i still had the no i still had they could only be on one thing at the one time and like all that but maybe just not as just as far back as that but i remember like having to sit in the computer and like i'd also be on the house phone to my friends okay we couldn't do that i'd be on it for I was and like people would be trying to phone my mum and she's like got off the phone yeah I'm still talking away still remember all you like your friend's house numbers
Starting point is 00:31:44 and that off by heart you knew them all oh they knew them all yeah so I have to I used to have to ask my mum to get off the house phone so I could go on MSN and I think I had my space was a little bit later MSN was when I was your first social media I'd say I did MSN not really my space bebo but I did bebo right I think you were either bebo or my space yeah I did bebo and then what was at Facebook and then I was it Facebook and then I And then it was like, you'd get like a black brain, you'd have like a BBM. Yeah. I'd like, what's your BBM?
Starting point is 00:32:11 You'd ping people. Yeah. And also you would have like people's initials and your... Your username on MSN was literally like your pals of the week. And you'd be like trying to squeeze in your new mate that you'd met into the username because that was so successful for them and you'd be like IDST. No, it would be like ZQ, love heart. Stars.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Dry tea. Yeah. Then it would be like another emoji and then it would be like all my best friends initials. Yeah. And they would all. change all the time. All the time. Or you would be kind.
Starting point is 00:32:40 To push you off, they'd be out. You used to be first, then you'd have third and you're in your favourite anymore. Wow, stay toxic kids. This is where it all stemmed from this. Fucking MSN, you're the problem.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Did you ever have, what sort of mobile phone did you have? Like, Nokia 3310 and play snake. Yeah, I played snake, yeah. Did you have a Motorola, razor pink flip phone? Yeah, I also had that. You thought you were like,
Starting point is 00:33:05 mean girl, like Regina George. Yeah, had that. Then the next one I had was like a slide-y-up one. Do you remember you slid the top up and the keyboard was at the bottom? Yes! And that was like a little pink thing, a Samsung and it was like a light pink. Yeah. And then I remember getting some sort of red phone but I don't know what that was.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Oh, I know which one you mean. And it didn't slide or flip it in and it was just like a little square. Yeah. Is that a Motorola? And it came in like a kind of dark purple as well. Do you want to want to be? And the buttons were like really thin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I'll let you find that what that was. I also had a H-T. see. No, I never had that. Which was kind of when the keyboards first came in, like the kind of big keyboards on your phone. Is it a bit like the Nellie and Kelly music video? And she's fucking typing to her like Microsoft Excel. I remember them. And then I think iPhone's next. Oh no, Samsung touchscreen. Yeah. Do you remember the one you could change the color of the back of the phone? I had that and you could literally take the whole back. If I saw a picture possibly. The whole back of the phone off and putting your colour on. Oh, that's ringing a bell actually. By the way,
Starting point is 00:34:07 absolutely fuck being a parent back then. In fact, it's probably worse now. Well, yeah, paying what? Over a grand for a freaking iPhone. But it was more like, because everything did change so much quicker. Whereas you could have an iPhone now, you could keep it for years. Where did it at that point? And it was like, now it's a slide-y-up thing.
Starting point is 00:34:22 That's a touchscreen. And then they want all these flipping iPads, PS-4s, well, what is it now? PS-10. Five. Oh, God knows what it is. So, did you ever have a Furby? I don't think so. I saw him a meme.
Starting point is 00:34:37 yesterday and it said nothing ever shit you up as a child as much as you fair be speaking to you at 3am in the morning it was honestly terrifying I loved them A few of these I need you ask Like my mum or my brother about
Starting point is 00:34:52 Because your brother would have had I keep thinking did I or did I just know about it Yeah And it's annoying me Did you ever trade cards like Pokemon and or football cards? Yes I was obsessed Pokemon On my game boy
Starting point is 00:35:06 Game Boy colours loved the Game Boy, loved that and then the football cards at the SPL league card things Well obviously it wasn't SPL for Bay It would have been whatever the other league is What is it called? Premiership
Starting point is 00:35:19 And you'd have like shiny ones For like Would it be like the goalkeeper or some it on? It would just be like It's the way FIFA is they now People want the best players And all that nonsense And you go and score and you trade them sneakily
Starting point is 00:35:32 In the playground What was the other cards And they came in the plastic holder thing Was it top trumps? Oh yeah, they were definitely old. I was too old to care about that. And I'm sure you swapped them as well. Yeah, I think you did.
Starting point is 00:35:43 But yeah, Pokemon, and you used to get the different, you'd just slide it in the back of it, and you'd get the different colours and each one would come out and I'd be so obsessed. I wish I still had my Game Boy, actually. I would play it. Same. And the Nintendo Switch, did you have that?
Starting point is 00:35:55 Are you too old? No. Did you ever have a Boppet? Yes. Bop it. Move it. Twist it. Pull it. Pull it.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Fuck me. You'd play. Yeah. New game. I loved that. I was obsessed with that. I actually think that became a thing again. Yeah, it did.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Maybe like five years ago or something and people were getting them at Christmas and that all again because people do like games on Christmas but it was more advanced. You would get your high score and then you'd just miss it and you'd be like...
Starting point is 00:36:22 Yeah, no! Oh, I really want to play Pokemon now. I'd be like, where to find Game Boy? Went to buy Game Boy colours. So what sort of games did you play at Christmas with your family? So I'd play a lot of, like, Uno, which I still play now, to be fair. But did you ever play Operation?
Starting point is 00:36:40 Yeah. I would still play both of them. They're both quite good for Christmas Day to do, like, drinking games with now. Oh, yeah. Because any time you make the Operation Beat, you would, like, take a shot, or if the Bukaru thing went off or... Hungry Hippos. Yep.
Starting point is 00:36:56 And one that I play quite a lot now is you press the middle, the dice, and then you move all the little colours around. Oh, what is that called? I should know this, because I have the game on my phone. Yeah, and I play it in bed sometimes. Me and Jason, I'm like, D-D-D-D-D-D. You two are such little kids at heart.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Right, let's move on to food. Okay. Now, this must have happened to all kids. You sit in your bedroom and you'd hear the ice cream man's music. And you were like, Mom, can I have an ice cream? No, there's chalk ice in the freezer. And you'd be like, no.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Then fucking chalk ice. I have never liked a chalk ice. They are minging. No one on this planet likes chalk ice. Chalk ice reminds me my gran. Yeah. Like, she will still have chalk ice and her freezer 100%. But I always prefer, like, a cone over a chalk ice or even just an ice lolly.
Starting point is 00:37:48 But it's weird because I love like a magnum now. But it's just not the same as a chocolate. Like chalk ice isn't that? It's like shit chocolate. Yeah, shit. Mm-hmm. Chit shape as well. You're square.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I want to ask you as well. Did you get the school bus? No. How posh are you? No, it's not a posh thing. It's Al. lived too far away. So you got a lift?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Yeah, I didn't ever live near my school. It was annoying. I did get a bus sometimes, but it wasn't the school bus, much it even worse. Because I used to have this every day. I'd get off the double-decker bus, and I would have the same snack every time. What would you go to that?
Starting point is 00:38:20 This is why I was the biggest, fattest kid ever, but I would go and get a jumbo sausage roll, a grab bag of watsits, a pint of orange juice and a 10-P Fredo every day with my pocket money, and then I'd go back to my nans, and she'd give me a full dinner.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I'd eat that as well. That was like 3pm and then I'd have my dinner at night at 5. It's the orange juice that I'm finding. It was like a pint of like fresh orange in like a carton. Like a milkman's bottle or something. A bit smaller than that.
Starting point is 00:38:48 But I have a jumbo sausage roll. What's it? It's in a Fredo every day. But November fredos weren't actually 10 pence. Yeah. Are they not 5 pence at one point or was at 15? I think they were 10 when I was young. And now they're probably a pound.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yeah. And they're smaller. Talking about orange juice, should you have sunny day? Yeah. And then the rumour went around that if you drank too much, you turn orange. Yeah, and it was so bad for you.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Like, it all came out how bad it was. And then literally all your parents would be like, you're not having that anymore. You'd be not like happy sons. Yes. I used to get that in like my lunch at school, a sandwich, and then like crisps, whatever, and you would want to swap the crisps to other people
Starting point is 00:39:21 to you get different flavors. Or you'd be like, can I swap my crisp for your chocolate? Oh, obviously. More at primary school. I was hot dinner, so I didn't have packed lunches. Oh, I never ever had hot dinner at primary or high school. All right, okay. That freaked me out.
Starting point is 00:39:33 No, well, my friend used to pass me roast potatoes under the table. I've always loved food, but I used to sit in the canteen and I would be like, you're finished for that? It would just be a thing, like everyone would know if it was roast potato day, you'd pass them to me under the table and it would literally like a conveyor belt of people passing their roasties under the table to me. Because you weren't allowed to swap food. Because somebody in my school had like a major nut allergy,
Starting point is 00:39:56 so you couldn't even have like any sort of like cabri's whole nut or anything like that. My God. And I remember those things at that at school. and also I remember something came in and it was like a pasta pot stand or something so it was quite like fancy but I still didn't go for that either I was just to give me a pack lunch
Starting point is 00:40:10 or in high school when I got older I'd walk down to the corner shop and they had like paninis and things like that I wasn't allowed to leave school what even high school? No no no no not high school or primary they'd lock the gates and yeah so tell me some food things then
Starting point is 00:40:24 mine are more probably like sweets like a brain liquor yeah I saw a few people in the in the Q&A sent the extra cheering gums but you know the little minty slides that you'd slide off on your finger and you put them on your tongue. And it would just melt on your tongue. Why was that a thing? I don't know. What are they still about? And the other thing was like the iron brew bars, like the wambars but iron brew flavour flavour. So I don't really remember them because they didn't
Starting point is 00:40:47 have them. They were good. And actual food wise, I feel like I eat this kind of stuff still like smiley faces. Lunchables and dunkers. I would still have luncheals. I see. I love them and the derily dunkers and that. I would still eat that. I had one last, at the weekend. Cheese strings, I think I'd still eat one of them. Baby bells are in my diet if I'm trying to be healthy. Yeah, five grams of protein in them. That's the exact reason. I'm like four of them at one's time.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Yeah. Panda Pops. Do you have them? Maybe you're a little bit young for that. Bubbleu. Yeah, we'd have that. I've just thought of another one. Frib's.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I said this to Richard yesterday. He was like, they're still a thing. And I've not seen Frubs for years. I think they might still be a thing, but I wouldn't pick them up in the shop now. And petty flusus? Yeah, I'd pick them up. I used to have them all the time.
Starting point is 00:41:31 That has their own ones are. quite good. I love Petty Flew. And did you ever think you were so cool at school and you'd get those packets of, they were like little sticks of candy or the sherbetts and you go around and pretend you smoke the whole 20 depth
Starting point is 00:41:41 and you were like, yeah, and you'd be smoking a candy stick. And then the Macaddle things came out and they were like that. They kind of like really, really thin breadsticks with chocolate like dipped at the top. Yes. Remember them?
Starting point is 00:41:53 Did you ever have cereals? I think they may have stopped this now for people choking on them. Serials and crisp and you'd have like a toy in them and you'd have a toy in them and you'd have the toy togs, pogs, and you have like the Tasmanian devil on them
Starting point is 00:42:05 and you collect them and they'd be in little packet and you'd find them in cereals or crisps. I remember of them in cereal? I think they were called pogs. And then you used to get all the good toys at McDonald's. I mean, you still do get toys, don't you? Happy meal parties and that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Don't you mean? Yeah. Do you still get happy meals with a toy in it? I think so. But it just doesn't seem as good to us anymore because we're not in the toy, obviously. Do you know what I saw yesterday, Zoe? When I went to, um, doesn't they?
Starting point is 00:42:28 I saw TGI Fridays, right? But it's called TG. TGI on the go. TGI Fridays have bought out a fast food restaurant. No. I knew you'd die. Why? Who is their customer?
Starting point is 00:42:39 And Richard walked by like, wow, that's a world good idea of that. That's such a guy, thanks see. It actually looked really modern to be fair. I can't remember what it was cool. I can't remember what it was cool, but it was TGI, new, on the go, fast food chain restaurant. Unnecessary. It won't last. Hope it goes under.
Starting point is 00:43:00 A lot of people would say. say turkey dinosaurs. Yes, Miley faces. Yeah. Turkey Twizzlers, microchit. Oh,
Starting point is 00:43:07 loved a microchip. I would probably eat them now, actually. They still live in the box and then you'd go home and you'd like put a microwave for one minute. And that would just be a snack.
Starting point is 00:43:14 That would be like your home from school snack while we're waiting on your runner. Even that smell, I can smell it and it just it's taking me back. It's like a freezer. Okay, so let's talk about
Starting point is 00:43:24 how we looked at that era and what was in at the time. I definitely went through not a goth stage but you know there was a kind of wear the chains but you're not quite a goth so I had like the bag of jeans with the chain at the belt look right and like the black mesh tops but I was still like cool yeah I wasn't like black hair and big black eyes around yeah so I had that with like rips and like fishnette gloves and stuff no you did not the ones were like your fingers no you did not your fingers would be out and the glove would just be up to there and it was like
Starting point is 00:43:58 fish net no I don't think I went through that stage. And then another stage I remember was Paul's Boutique bags. Yes. Mine was Jane Norman. Yeah, that was before Paul's Boutique. We did that as well. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:10 But even if you didn't get, use the Jane Norman actual bag anymore, you would use the plastic bag that you got the shopping in. Yeah. Do you remember that? Yeah. With like the rope strings and the plastic bag. The J.D. Drawstring bags.
Starting point is 00:44:22 You still see people with them. I'm like it's time to move on. I think people are now like selfages and flannels. People are now just using them as a bag. they were always meant to be used, not for a fashion statement. This girl at school used to call me and my mates the J-Norman gang. That's like the new version of mean girls, isn't it? Do you know what I remember became a thing just before I left school?
Starting point is 00:44:42 What are they called again? The shoes with the little tag that hangs off them. I'm sure they've begun my ass. Skechers? I can't remember now. No, they were like little black patent books. Oh, God. And they have the wee tag.
Starting point is 00:44:55 It's like a wee tag hanging off them, but you don't take it off. Oh my God, I can see it in my head. But they're like kid's shoes. You would have them on a baby Is it clocks? No, but they're a brand But you would literally have them on your baby Like your month old child
Starting point is 00:45:06 And then they became a thing That people started wearing to school Like the black ones Oh my god I can see it in my head I can't think Oh and another thing Geoffrey Campbell's That was when I was at school
Starting point is 00:45:14 Really? Okay so I was a bit older in that That was like Well probably like to the end of school Just leaving school But I remember getting slagged Because I had like the fake version From like what was back then
Starting point is 00:45:24 Like eagle shoes or whatever And not the real ones I'm like what my mum's to spend that I'll wreck I don't think You know those type a shop so that you used to do like ego that were on the high street they were the shop she went to for your night out shoes yeah and they had everything and they'd have all of them was it tammy that was in emmon call maybe but i remember me and all my mates used to go into town and we would love
Starting point is 00:45:45 those shoe shops yeah no we'd get ripped the piss out of now if we shopped in there but they were legit i also um and i saw what's her face at one love island last year with that guy leum milly milly she did it the other day and i thought oh my god please i bring this trend back it was so but it was the, you'd split your hair in half and you'd die the top half bleach blonde and the bottom half would be black and you would think you were the ballocks. I had that whole hair, such a skunk.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Do you remember a thing was denim shorts and tights? Yeah. That was terrible. Thin eyebrows. Thin. Do what else was thin? At my school you had a white shirt and people would wear a thin, like,
Starting point is 00:46:22 you know the stretchy strap vest tops you can get from Pemark? Yeah. Over it as if it was a tank top over their shirt. Oh no. Oh, it was awful. I know, I can picture it now. yeah that's kind of like the bands did you ever you know you were trying to get you know your mum had made you wear new bras and you would want to wear strapless but you'd wear the clear
Starting point is 00:46:38 straps and sometimes I'd have like jewels on him no what's the what is the point I don't know the whole point isn't for it to be clear I know I'd actually seize into your skin your skin your skin is pouring over it did you wear maybeline dreamt moose yes over my lips everything foundation lips, foundy lips. No, this is a little bit old, like a little bit older, but you would have definitely was Mac, but the shade snob. Yeah. And it was like pale, pale, pale, pink.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And I just worked the foundation. And you just look. Yeah. I'm sorry to anyone that still wears it, but whoa. And then I think came in and it was the spatula lip gloss. Spatula lip gloss. And like the brush of it was like literally like a little tiny mini spatula. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And that kind of stopped the foundation look thing. And is it Lancombe juicy tubes? Yeah. I think I saw some. Someone write that actually, like from Juicy Tube. And what perfume did you wear? I did have Britney Spears. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:35 For a while. And then I moved on to Beyonce Heat. Oh yeah. That's actually still a nice smile. I think Britney Spears' fantasies gorge. Get so far. You want that for your birthday tomorrow? Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Please give me that. I loved a body spray called Charlie, and it was called Charlie Red. Did you never wear that? No, I know exactly what Charlie has, but he just made me think of another one that was like dot, dot, dot, dot, something. Oh, and so, something.
Starting point is 00:48:05 And so, yeah. Charlie Red. And I'd wear John Paul Goteer red jeans and blue jeans. Was that the little body shapes? Yeah, there it is, Charlie Red. Yeah, I remember that. Look, it's got 365, five-star reviews. Gorgeous.

Oh, yeah, I bet kickers are going to have a comeback soon. They're 100% well, with the way, what things are people wearing right now, including themselves. But it was like, every, all the girls started wearing, like, the black painting ones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Like, we were, like, 17. Yes, I remember. Unacceptable. I absolutely loved them. I didn't tap into that trend, but that was not a choice. My mom was probably like, fuck off. And this is, again, sort of maybe 50. Getting your belly button pierced

Starting point is 00:52:04 And it was like a girl's, I think it was called, like, Girl Heaven. You could hide out, I'm sure I did one time. And you would go in and then you would, like, pick your tiara and, like, get a wee look gloss and all that. Oh, cute. I wasn't really a very girly girl, so I don't really remember that. I would be girly one day and had chains on my jeans and ex. It was really up and down.
