Welcome to the chart-topping show-stopping best podcast in the world.
We're just kidding, just get it, just get it.
Hello everybody and happy Tuesday. Welcome back to your favorite podcast in the entire world.
My name is Jess and I have my co-host here, Zozo Quinn.
Hi, Zozo.
Hi.
I've got something to say.
I don't like the Zozo thing anymore.
Why?
Zosel?
No, I don't mind it in person, but I don't like it in writing.
Why?
Because it's just not aesthetically pleasing enough for you.
Yeah, I think that's it.
You really have OZD.
I know.
Zoe Quinn.
Thank you.
How are you?
I'm good.
I feel really good and fresh.
You do look fresh today.
Well, I've had quite a chilled weekend.
What did you do yesterday?
Nothing.
Actually, I didn't do anything.
I just cleaned the flat, head to toe.
and chilled. I watched that burnt.
Oh yeah, what did you think of it? I quite liked it.
Yeah, easy watch, isn't it? Yeah, it's an easy watch, but it's quite, um, I think he's good.
Bradley Cooper. Yeah. Yeah. I'd watch anything at the time, I know.
It got really, really bad ratings on that Rotten Tomatoes.
Did it? Yeah. But I really enjoyed it.
I like an easy watch, so like something's actually quite shit. Yeah.
Don't need to do a lot of thinking. So on Netflix.
Yep. And Friday night, I went to see my mum's show. She does show. She's very theatrical.
Oh, yeah.
That was nice and wholesome
I went for dinner before it
which I did have a bottle of wine
Well I shared a bottle of wine
So I'm still on this wine thing
Riva and Bodwell
Oh yeah
Quite nice
Yeah it's quite nice in there actually
Your mum's show
Was it a choir show?
No the choir's a separate thing
This is like an amateur
Dramatics Club
Thing
God I love her
No what was so funny is
She's usually like a part in it
But she wasn't this year
Because she was choreographing
Like the dance routines instead
So she only jumped in
background when she could but when she was in it everyone's doing like 80% no she's 200% she's
like she is so extra like i was just like i kept looking at jason because that's the first time
he's seen it in a show i think and i wanted to see his reaction he was just like what she like
and you need to apologize to everyone because you still not posted your mom was cakes on the
instagram yeah sorry that was why it's because she was too busy to look through the pictures
and she's also just sold her house so everything's a bit up in the air
She has.
So I will put them on.
The Grand Piano House has been sold.
But that's not getting sold.
Don't worry.
Where's that going to fit?
She needs to find a house that fits it.
That's what she says.
She's not getting rid of it.
Did she say she's keeping it?
I said, are you going to get rid of that?
Because you're obviously going to downsize.
No, that's coming.
Brilliant.
She's going to need to get like an extra bedroom for that.
Anyway, so that's what I've been up to.
What have you been doing?
You were out, galivanting as always.
Yeah, I went out in Manchester this weekend.
It was fabulous.
It wasn't really for my birth.
It was to meet my friend, Jess, who,
She lives back where I'm from in Leicester.
We meet halfway.
We always meet there.
And as I said, she last time,
it's been three years since I climbed Killy.
So we met the guy that we climbed it with as well.
And a few of the friends came as well.
And yeah, we had a fantastic time.
I've lost my voices.
You can probably tell.
Got in at half two.
I had, I think, something like 10,
spicy McDonald's chicken nuggets,
a wrap.
And I remember I was that hungry
that you're just shoveling it down your neck.
That was having the Diet Coke to actually like let it like digest.
I'm that much of a pick.
So I had that.
But that saved my life
because I didn't really have that much of a hangover yesterday
but had lost my voice.
I think eating after a night out is make her break though.
I think if you're absolutely starving
and you needed it, that helps to hangover.
But see if you did have like a big dinner
and then do it as well.
Then you just feel crap the next day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not really a sicky person to be honest.
So yeah, I drove back up yesterday
and I was meant to go to the cinema last night
to see that new horror film smile.
Now I, anyone that knows me knows
I will, you have to pay me good money
to go and watch a horror film.
film so but everyone's talking about it because it's meant to be amazing and have you seen all the
marketing that they're doing at the moment yeah in like basketball games and they're just
standing there like that it's so creepy I saw as a trailer when I was at the cinema last time
have you seen the bit when she's in like the car and they come up to the window yeah yeah no no so
I'm I'm going to see that tonight and well rich is making me go and I'm I'm shitting myself
you'll need to tell me how it is I've never I don't think I've seen a horror film ever in the cinema
I don't know if I have either actually or if I have it's been you know when like they're
she's just quite shit.
Yeah.
It's just Halloween, isn't it?
Yeah.
I'm not really big on Halloween.
Are you?
Like, do you go to Halloween events and things?
I've actually never really been out as an adult dressed up.
I don't think.
I did have a Halloween party in my house one time.
Bleeper.
Mom probably doesn't know that.
And it was just like shit dress up.
But then when my friends did go out one year, I was in L.A. for work.
Remember that?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
And that was amazing because they go wild there.
Yeah, they love it.
We went to Universal on Halloween.
Oh.
And that, no, that was terrifying.
fine. Oh. Oh because it was like
the chase one where they run after you? They chased around
with like chainsaws and all that. That's traumatic.
It was actually really scary.
But the house decorations
there are wild. Like there was one
that had a swing set up with like
a fake child on the swing
like swinging back and forth like creepily laughing.
We were all at each other like
no. Veracons are weird.
But I mean I kind of like to celebrate
everything as much as I can so I do pumpkins around my
house which I've seen that on your Instagram.
What's this one about please?
I think it's good.
New little candle burners in every corner of your house.
Well, we bought like a fair amount, but then obviously, like...
Where from? Like B&M?
Yeah, and like TK.K. Max, like, random places like that.
But you know what Jason's like?
He's just a massive child.
He is, yeah.
He came back the next three more.
I'm like, we just didn't need the extra three.
You two together are just like two big kids.
But they were actually wax melt, like burners that he got,
which is quite good because then it smells nice.
Yeah.
I actually got a pumpkin spice wax melt and it smells nice.
It smells tacky as hell, but love.
By the way, have you seen this new TikTok train?
I know you're not massive on TikTok,
but I think I actually saw it on Instagram Reels
where it's, you need to ask your boyfriend
or whoever you're close to, girlfriend, whatever,
what they remind you of.
And then they just put like loads of different collages
of that particular answer.
So someone's like, I asked my boyfriend what color I would be
if I was a color and then it would be like beige.
And then it would be like loads and loads of different clips
of beige things.
What's my favorite time of the day?
Blah, blah, blah.
So that's why you asked me, Andrew?
Yeah, so I decided to ask Richard last night.
I was flicking through Instagram and I was like, I want,
Richard, I'm going to ask you some questions.
And by the way, the real that I watched of this girl, it was so romantic
and all the pictures were wonderful.
I was like, babe, and he's like, muh.
I'm like, you know, if I was a colour, what would I be?
And it's like, why ask you me that?
I was like, just answer these questions.
Why can you never just answer a question, please?
He's like, uh, orange.
I went, why?
Um, because you look good when you got a tan in it.
I'm like, oh, okay, thanks.
What time a day would I be?
Midday. Why? That's when you wake up.
Then he says, Acuna.
Yeah. What would I be if I was a flower?
So I was thinking he's going to picture something really beautiful.
He went, what are them ones called that I've got the pollen and it goes everywhere?
And it's like it makes a right mess.
I went, oh, well, Lily, you went, yeah, one of them.
I went, what weather would I be?
And then this was nice.
He went, sun, because you're like a sunshine.
I was like, okay, we're getting there, we're getting there.
What food would I be?
steak pie beans and chips
I went why
because you're warm and cozy
I went so I'm basically fat
and then I says
what film would I be
you went to the hangover
and he says
honestly you just get savages
and more savage it goes on
what country would I be
America because you've lost the plot
what holiday would I be
Christmas because you get all excited
you have lots of food
and lots of booze and party
and then you're knackered
and then boom it's New Year's Eve
and then you're at it again
that's you a week in the life
of Jess says, then I says, right, if I was an object, what would I be? What are them
fucking black hair grip things called? Because they're fucking everywhere in this house
and they're annoying and I've never seen one in your hair. I was like, oh my God, thank you.
I sound gorgeous. So yeah, and I said to Sarah was like, I needed to add to Jason what
you are these things and she was like, he was so nice. Well, it was kind of like, come and
go. Okay. So my colour
is yellow because yellow equals
fun. Cute. But this comes
from, because SpongeBob's yellow
and I remind Jason of SpongeBob. Great.
So then, I'm not sure what that means, but he loves SpongeBob. So, okay.
What is it, time of year? Yeah. Winter
because he likes being cozy. Yeah. Food, chocolate
because I'm sweet. Yes.
Weather, lightning
because of my farts.
Thank you.
Thank you very much
Love it
Yeah
Oh this was interesting
Flower
Eucalyptus because I like saying that word
What the fuck
It's more about him than you
Well that's just my life
It just become
Everything that comes around using
Yeah
Time of day, night
Because I'm always tired
True
Object
Piggybank because I steal all of his money
Perfect
I was like that
And you like pigs
And I like pigs
So it works
Place was Iceland because I'm always freezing
I was going to say because you're cold-hearted bitch
That works
Maybe that's why I'm always freezing
Maybe and a film
Did you do a film?
Yeah the hangover
Oh yeah
Big because I'm a big kid at heart
Nice
Okay that was half nice
With the mix
Quite a good mix in there
Yeah so anyone listening to the part
We want to hear your answers
Ask whoever you are with or someone close
And send us the funny objects
Yeah the objects
That's like the describe me in three words
Yeah.
We did that and work all the time, but like you've asked the people.
So this pod, we thought, we would talk a little bit about red flags
because I think there's a fine line between icks and red flags.
And I think red flags are a little bit more serious.
Ix are just a bit more, because they can be anything, just ridiculous things.
And I sat there last night and I was saying to Rich,
I was like, because I was obviously thinking about what, be a red flag for a guy.
And I was thinking, I wonder if I'm any of them.
And he went, what you're talking a bit?
I'm sitting there like, obviously I'm annoyinging me with all these questions.
He's like, what are you talking about red flags?
I says, we goes, well, you're just a walking red flag.
Everything that you do, you are a red flag.
I was like, you're probably correct.
And then I thought, I don't have a red flag.
I don't have any red flags.
And Zoe said, that just says everything about me as a person.
Yeah, because you just think everything's great and everyone's great.
I definitely see something bad on everyone.
You do.
But in a don't be an idiot way.
Not in like a negative.
Yeah.
Because I also see the good on everyone too.
Of course.
But I do have a lot, but I will keep it quite.
Okay, I'll have to let you steer this one
because I know we can obviously talk about
what everyone else broke in, but I don't really have many.
Unless, actually, the only one would be
if somebody said to me, they didn't like animals
or they didn't like food, I think I'd find that weird.
Well, you would just find it hard to relate then, haven't you?
But I mean, my biggest one,
and it's especially when, obviously you think about red flags
when you're first kind of seeing someone.
So my main one is like, all talk, no action.
Yes.
Stop saying, do you want to do something,
do something to never actually do it.
Okay, yeah.
Or don't speak to me for eight months and never asked to meet me.
That's weird.
Yeah.
Like, I don't want a pen pal, thanks.
Yeah.
You do not want a girl talk pen pal.
That's not for me.
Another, which is maybe an ick thing, but slightly puts me off as shite shoes.
Yeah, but that's an ick.
Not that's a red flag for me.
Okay.
Because you obviously have no sense of the world.
Yeah.
Shoes is a massive thing for me, but that's more of an ick, I think.
Can't drive, no license.
Yes.
That's a red flag for me because, what if something happened?
How would you get to me quick?
Yeah.
Or if something happens to your family, how would you get to me quick?
you get to them quick.
Yeah.
Or if I want a McDonald's after a night out, who takes me?
Because the taxi driver does not.
You are a diva.
So you need to hold a driver's license?
Yeah.
I do agree with that.
And the last one that I've wrote down, I mean, this, I could go on for honestly 10 hours.
It's just no chat.
Yeah.
I can't continue if you've got no chat.
The conversation definitely needs to flow.
Like you need to be funny and have a sense of humour.
Yeah, a humour. It's a big thing.
And don't be too nice.
That puts me off.
Yeah, you get the icky, don't you know that one.
I've just made myself sound great.
No, I think that was totally normal unfair.
Okay, I'll take that.
So, yeah, we asked you guys what were your red flags,
and Zoe's going to read them out because I can't find it right now.
I was like, right, I'm hosting this myself today.
Yes.
A few, in fact, quite a lot of people have said mommy's boys.
Yeah, I've never really experienced that, to be fair,
so unsure how I'd feel about it.
I'm going to say I've not either just because...
You love Jason's mom.
The mother of Jason listens every week.
Hello.
We love you.
I actually don't think he is really that much.
I think he's the typical boy of got everything done for him.
Yeah.
But he's got a sister, hasn't he?
Yeah.
So he's adapted to not that quite well.
Whereas I think it's more when boys are like obsessed with their mum.
Like, or better ask what my mum thinks or I need to go see my mum all the time.
I've never experienced that in my life.
I think it's more when mums only have boys.
Yeah.
I have heard this.
No, like girls in there.
kind of balancing it out and like kind of talking them out of thinking of their boys the world.
But you know, I can kind of understand as well. I think if I was a mum of boys and then, I don't
know, not a lot of bothers me anyway, but I feel like if they then grew up and they were always
with the girlfriend's mum's side and they had a baby, for example, they'd always give it to the
mum's because that tends to be kind of what happens, isn't it? Yeah, I suppose.
I think you probably would be a little bit, I don't know, needy for your son because you want
that connection. What's the saying? Like, your son's your son, until he meets a wife, your
Your daughter's your daughter for life or something like that.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So your son is kind of the one that leaves the family to have his own.
Yeah.
With the girl in their family, whereas you kind of,
girl stick with their mum a bit more.
Maybe that's why, I don't know, but we've definitely got friends who really think that.
Yeah, they really do.
What about this?
Over 25 and they ask for your Snapchat.
No, that is a major red flag.
And this is a shout out to any of my friends out there.
Females, why have you still got Snapchat?
You're older the age of 30.
Do you want to just tag me next day?
Yeah, I need to.
Although I'm actually not over 30, so maybe I get away with it.
Yeah, you get away with it.
No, I actually do want to get rid of it,
but my friends have a group chat on Snapchat still.
Not that we chatting, but just send stupid pictures or...
But why can't you just do on Instagram close friends?
Like, I love that.
I know, but I do use that a bit, but they don't.
Is it because there's Snapchat filters and things?
No, because I don't use that.
I honestly don't know.
I think it's like everyone would need you make a pack to delete it
or no one can.
I don't know why it's.
me so much because it shouldn't but I think it's probably because my sister who is 18 years
younger than me she's what she's 14 13 14 now and she uses it all the time so I'm just probably
seen it yeah I'm just probably comparing it to that but they the youngians these days they use that to chat
like they don't use WhatsApp or I message or whatever it's literally Snapchat which says I'm the only
person at WhatsApp so I'm like it disappears after 24 hours the chat I don't get anyone that uses I
message either. I know you do, but I'm
confused with that. Can I want eye messages me?
I won't see that. I'll never
open that app. Weird. But I do
only I message to be fair, like
my mum, my brother and Jason
I think. Really? Like that's it. But that's
because Jason's not a big WhatsApp user. My
dad doesn't have an iPhone, he's a Samsung
like will not change to iPhone.
I can't even discuss any further. He texts. It's a text. It's
a text. It's green.
But then also, if he's sending a picture
it goes to WhatsApp. So we have
a bit of both going on. So then I don't know. I don't
No, whether I'm coming or going with him.
And then, yeah, Jason's just not a WhatsApp user.
Like, his group chats are still on, like, Facebook Messenger.
Really?
Yeah, my mom does that.
My mom messages me on every sort of social media platform possible to try and get through to me.
Yeah.
So, I do get the Snapchat thing because if someone puts up a Snapchat story, I'm dead.
That's me.
I'm like, I've died that you're putting up a Snapchat story.
Oh, so you don't put stories up now, then.
Is that not a thing?
I've not put a story up for at least five years.
So what do they use it for, then, just a form of communicating?
I think just to send, like, your pals pictures quickly, that just then disappear.
Honestly, I don't know, I'm not really on either.
Guys, you're all weird.
Not on it either, okay?
We're wearing a seatbelt and a Glasgow taxi.
What?
Safety fast.
Imagine, though.
Imagine if you did put a seatbelt on in a black cab.
You do really get in a taxi and forget a seatbelt's a thing, don't you?
That's true, actually, you do.
But then Uber sometimes are like, you'd put a sheep belt on because it's beeping.
Yeah, I think on Uber I would always put a belt on, actually, but a black cab, I would never.
Is there a belt in a black cab?
There's no.
There must be.
There must be, but see, when you're sitting on the seat that you pull down, I'm like, well, that's dangerous enough.
as well, keep my seat built off.
Someone's like, where to start,
can't drive, no ambition to act on social media,
commentates with gifts,
rather than actually being an adult,
apologising for being a dick.
Are you single?
I think this, I think a red flag as well,
again, borderline it, is selfies.
Now, if I go on someone's Instagram
and they've got loads of, like,
Jim Mirror selfies,
girls, it's only for girls.
We're allowed to take as many selfies as we want.
Even though I don't take that many,
but when it's a full feed of guys taking selfies,
I'm like, that's bizarre,
you love yourself more than you could ever love me.
agree.
So that's a no.
And I also think the only time it is ever so slightly acceptable as if you dress cool as fuck.
Yes.
And your head's not in it.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just like the outfit.
But that's like you've got like baggy clothes on and like big cool trainers and that.
That's only way.
But the thing is though back in the day when Instagram first started, everyone did selfie.
It's just become a thing.
We've all just got.
No.
But get so icky quick.
Guys in the mirror like this.
On their like dating profile pics.
And they've got like a blazer on with a shirt open.
No, after a sec, every real.
Simon's looking at it as like, that's me.
He's like, delete, delete.
Delete, delete.
Okay, by the way, we want to introduce Simon to the pod
because I know we always speak about G, he's telling me to the fuck off.
But Simon and G are business partners, so sometimes Simon, it's sometimes G.
So we have Simon here today.
He's not going to say hello because he's shuddering himself.
So that's why we just keep saying on for Simon.
Anyway, dozo, continue.
I agree with this one.
when you put water into like a juice bottle.
So like you've got a fanta bottle and you emptied it
and you rins it out and then you fill it with water.
Oh, I do that.
Jess, what?
You would put water in an empty Coke bottle?
If it was in my car and I was running into something
I'd be like, yeah, shit, no, maybe not, maybe not.
No.
I don't really have empty Coke bottles.
I'd have empty water bustles in my car
and I'd fill it up with water.
That's water into water.
It's like the water in a juice bottle.
Oh, okay, sorry.
Sorry, you're throwing me off with the word juice
because you know that we don't, we don't say the same thing here.
Juice to me, I thought you meant ribena.
You're putting dilutin juice in water.
So you don't mean that.
You're not pouring diluting juice into water.
No, you're pouring still clear water.
Into a coca zero bottle?
Yes.
Yeah, that's okay.
So you've got the label and everything, but inside it is just water.
Yeah, okay.
I mean, sometimes desperate times.
No, that freaks me out.
But yeah, I know what you mean, yeah.
That is a bit of the ick.
Being tight with money.
Yeah.
Not giving tips.
I am probably the most generous human being on earth with money.
I couldn't get shit.
And I think if somebody is, well, I do.
go out with the tightest man in the world. He's Scottish, so
sorry. Do you think
Scottish men are tight? Well, I've
had a rumour yet that they are, and then I do
happen to go out with one, so potentially. I think
there's like a way of being tight that
I wish I was. He's a good saver.
Yeah, because Jason's the same, but
he's not tight with me, so that's fine. Yeah,
yeah, I need to cut him with some sack. He's not tight with me at all, actually.
But I'm the one that's like, you're going to leave a tip.
Right, yeah. But I don't even think
I don't even think it's going to his mind because he's just like, I've paid it,
let's go, and I'm like, no, no, no. Yeah. I said a
Fussy eater. Welcome to my
fucking life. Like, Zoe,
I categorically don't know
how you go out of that man because of this.
Jason, I'm calling you out. It's so
bad. I could never go out with someone
that wouldn't even eat rice.
You're like, I just, I can't
get into it anymore because it
consumed my life for a long time. And now
what I've realised is there's two nights a week
that one probably he's at the physical
football, another he's playing football
and maybe another that I'm out for dinner.
So see you on the nights we don't cross over.
I have my ice
I have my pestle pasta
and that's fine
You don't even eat
Pesto pasta?
Jessica
The only pasta
he will eat
is spaghetti
And I don't mean
Oh we're talking shapes
We're talking shapes
and textures
We're not talking
sauces
sides ingredients
We're talking shapes
and textures
So you won't even eat
a penny
No
Does he say I've never
had penny
Pono before
Won't eat a penny
Won't eat a shell
Won't even eat
What's like
the flat spaghetti
Tagotelli
Or Linguini
won't even eat that
only spaghetti
no categorically not okay
so what we did branch out to
actually was spaghetti and meatballs
which was quite good
and then another thing we branched out to one time
was haggis
sure that's come from one extreme to the other
so we added that into the mix
which was quite helpful as well
and what else have we added in recently
we look at you what have we added in recently
I'm like we even though I would eat any of this
since I was three years old
I'm not sure but he also likes poached eggs
which I think is quite a thing.
Anyway, move on because...
Wow, I'm gobsmacked.
I'm going to get grasped on by his mother.
Guys who are irresponsible with their money,
now that is like gambling and...
Oh, yeah.
Obviously, like, the odd bet on the app or whatever,
but when they say to the casino and stuff every weekend,
I don't know that I've come across many,
but that's, well, that's an issue, but yeah.
I also do think when you're young,
you want a guy to, like, have a social life
and drink as much as you do and blah, blah, blah.
But I think when you get to a certain point,
Like I wouldn't want to be with someone who was out Friday to Sunday
At this age anymore
Like when I was doing it didn't really care
Because I wasn't seeing you anyway
But I think that's a red flag
Because either like one, you don't want to spend any time with me at the weekend
Why?
Or two, like are you actually just miserable
Because I feel they're going out and drinking for hours and days
And weeks on end is like an unhappy thing
Yeah
Not for everyone but do you know what I mean by that?
Yeah, of course I do.
Because you just want to be steaming all the time
And not actually think of life
Yeah, don't I have a handover every Sunday?
Sounds like me.
Men with their children's face is tattooed on them,
please.
Now, this is going to sound so fucking bad.
But Richard is going to have a tattoo in a few weeks
with our cats on his leg, our children.
I was like, what, their actual, like, faces?
He was like, yeah.
I don't know, in a Wilson on the legs.
Retro's nose, but I'm just going to see it again.
Aved out to hear her tattoos.
Like, when are they going to end?
The only thing that isn't tattooed is his face and is, you know what?
Ding dong.
Ding dong.
But also, the legs didn't even need happen.
They didn't, I know.
What was that a big thing?
He got any sign I met him when he was just, like, can you fuck off?
It is a humongous T-Rex.
That's it.
Head.
When I say humongous, it is the size of his whole thigh
with a sword going through the cheek of the T-Rex or something like that.
By the way, his tattoo artist is extremely talented.
So this is no shame on his tattooist's work.
It's just excessive.
Yeah, his tattoos are good.
Yeah, they're gorgeous.
And I said this to my last time I see them, remember.
I'm like, I can't even see the results of the fitness fanatic.
I know.
Slashive weirdo that you now are.
Yeah.
Because I can't see anything.
Can't see anything.
And when we look back at old pictures where he didn't have his, like, torso tattooed,
and I'm like, wow, look at them abs.
You wouldn't even know now.
No, you can't see them.
Anyway, he's still gorgeous.
We'll let him do what he wants.
Men in white jeans.
Yeah.
That's an ick.
I know, but I suppose.
I suppose there's, like, some people are so, so, like, shallow and picky like that, like me.
Yeah.
Who would be, like, the first state, they can't even talk to you.
Okay, right, I see.
They wouldn't, you wouldn't even entertain it.
Yeah, I couldn't.
Yeah.
Someone else's wrote here, not liking dogs or animals in general.
That is a humongous red flag.
Unless they have some sort of trauma from being attacked by a dog as a child or something, that's fair.
Yeah.
Or they actually have a complete, they're scared of them.
That's fine.
Rude to waiting staff, shop, staff.
I think they spoke like this before, haven't we?
that's like one of our pet peeves.
I just think there's no need.
No.
Like, take a deep breath and get over it.
Coming on too strong at the beginning, yeah, guys, you've got to play it cool.
Oh, this is a red flag and not a nick 100% keeps you off his social media.
Never, ever would I entertain that?
No, I am plaster all over your feet whether you like it or not.
You're being hidden.
No.
Look, you're hid.
No one can see.
He's definitely messaging other girls.
I'm sorry, but that's just the truth.
And they're like, private life is a happy life.
No.
You change it.
to say oh on this day this is the conversation
we haven't told each her we loved each her 10 million times
yeah no no no that's that's also a red flag
hears us on holiday like end of story yeah
but it's when it's like it's purpose it's them away
on holiday but you're not it's like you're not even there
it's like it's on his own story yeah never a nothing
I do think it's fair if you don't want to post your relationship
that's fine but it's when you're actively with that person
somewhere and it's like you're purposely avoiding them
in the shot I think the worst thing is
obviously on Instagram it's this thing where when
post then you can reshare that story
so why can't you even do that
you're not even having to do
all the position in your meal and getting the glass in and all that
you just need to reshade it
they're talking to someone else that's what it is
yeah mm-hmm kissing his mum and sister on the lips
do you find that weird I'm not sure
what I will say and I'm just going to put it out there
is for Scottish people completely unacceptable
do not do that you're freaking me out
I can see you doing that as an English person
Yeah, I do. My mum just try and kiss me in the lips sometimes, but I don't actually like it. Sorry, Mum. She does, but I'm like, yeah, I am very kissy-kissy, but yeah, I'm not, I'm not sure. Like, I'm not sure, like, I wouldn't want my dad to kiss me on the lips. Oh, no. So it's just the same thing, but... Yeah, depends what I'm in. No. Yeah, actually, should never kiss your kids on the lips anyway. Like, you shouldn't kiss a baby on the lips because it's, like, dangerous because it's so unhygienic.
Is it?
Mm-hmm.
See, when you go out of hospital, they'll say, like, don't kiss the face.
Oh, mm-hmm.
Didn't know that.
Yeah, because they can catch all this stuff and people, like, die.
Oh, I always kiss babies.
Not on their lips, so.
No, I think if you do, like, the head or...
I think it's more when they're, like, a newborn fresh out the...
Oh, right, okay.
Moving on.
Controlling.
Red flag.
Yeah, big time.
That's definitely one thing, I feel, because a lot of people always question me, like,
oh my gosh, like, how do you live your life like you do?
And then, you know, Richard's not bothered with it.
And I'm like, I can do whatever I want to do.
If a guy actually said to me, you're not going away with your friends,
you're not going on night out, I wouldn't be with him.
No.
That also would just make me do it.
Exactly.
And I don't really, I would never stop him doing anything either.
No.
Can do what you want.
So I think, I know there's a fine line.
If there's something happened in the relationship where you've lost a bit of trust, for example,
then you question it.
Yeah.
But there hasn't so.
I think jealousy is a very flag too.
Yeah.
I think you have to have a...
A little bit of their jealousy.
I like the feeling.
little bit jealous sometimes.
I'm like, just go on a night out
and go and speak to that girl, go on.
I think that's something I like lacked
and when you lack it completely
you know you're not interested.
Right.
Whereas now I wouldn't say I'm jealous
but I would say like
who's the girl on the back of the picture then?
Yes, yeah.
But I'm joking but at least I'm asking me
before I'd be like, don't give a fucking sweet turn on you go.
Yeah, yeah.
So like I think
A little sprinkle of jealousy is quite healthy.
Yeah, if you're like into your relationship
enough you will have a little bit
Like Jason was in a picture
with a girl at the football one
Do you remember?
Yeah, I remember you weren't happy with that way.
I was like, sorry, who's that?
That was really funny.
Drinking fizzy juice before 10 a.m.
What are your thoughts on people drinking Red Bull for breakfast?
Because I know there's a lot of people out there
and I'm not judging.
I know my little sister will literally have
a monster's can by a bedside table
and be sipping it throughout the night.
That is minging.
But I can't physically do it.
The heartburn says no.
Do not drink Red Bull
or Monster or any of that shit
in your whole existence, never mind before breakfast.
I don't mind it if
a lot of people drink Monster when they have like pre-workouts
or is it Monster? There's another pre-workout
can that a lot of people drink
knockos. Nocos, yeah, there's another knock. A lot of people drink them.
That's fair. I just think that's a little
the nonsense. But...
Have a banana. I have about five coffees a day
that's equally as bad. My anxiety's through the roof.
All of it. I'm just not involved.
It's just like a hot version.
still hot version of a monster
but why is it bad that we drink them
because you know coffee's just as bad
well not full of shy but
I don't know but I'm just not on like the energy drink thing
it freaks me out and the can thing
leads me on to cans at the side of the bed
cans and loads of glasses on the bed
so when was the last time you took them down
oh yeah I have to do that every
Richard keeps a lot on this bedside table but I do
I have to take it every morning
annoying as hell no no no no
what about I actually do find this
a bit of a red flag for me is when
a boy constantly goes on
about how psychies ex was
because then I start to think
and I've seen it happen to people
you are the psycho
it's actually the boy that's the problem
I wonder if anybody out there has ever spoken
about you being the psycho ex
or me
yeah I wonder if our exes
I've ever spoken about to their new
this is that we are a psycho ex
I certainly was one
I could nearly put my life on that I'm not
because I'm just too chilled for it
Yeah
I've never really been a psycho
But I think when you were younger
And you're with people when you were like
Yeah I'm talking when I was young
I'm like there's probably times that
On a drunk night I've like kicked off and whatever
And maybe that maybe the branding me cycle then
But I'm like an overall psycho girl girl I'm just not sure
No
I hope it's not because I really wouldn't put myself in that bracket
I wouldn't say you were either
But if I was I would admit it
I mean loads people say they are
Yeah
No I'm definitely not a psycho girl but I think I've
and psycho behaviour
before as I'm younger.
I've also just never been a
fishing around on social media
for things I don't want to see.
I'm just a very like,
you do that,
I think you're the problem, not me.
Yeah.
Just casually going through
their following every now and then.
Oh, I do that you followed then?
How do you know where?
You don't go out?
Why do you meet her?
I've never done that.
Oh my God, no, I love it.
Only maybe like once every six months
a little quick checkup.
What?
Still now?
Yes, of course I do.
What?
He's like, I don't know, I met, when? When? When was that? You don't talk to anyone but me?
Maybe I should, maybe I'm missing something here.
Trust me, there's a lot of girls out there that I'm doing the same as me.
But that probably speaks more volumes about me than him.
Cycle.
What about talking about exes?
Yeah, red flag, I don't have that problem.
I must say I think there's a fine line.
I think it's also a bit of a red flag if you're so against ever.
And it's not that you just bring them up for the sake.
of it but I think if her situation relates
to a previous situation or even if like you pass them
I'd be like my fucking god, there's my ex. I think if you didn't do that
it's weird. I would rather know I'm about to walk past your ex. Yeah and I think
the difference with me is I have a lot of friends that are still in circles with some of
mine so if I'm talking to Richard about friends or he'd like oh how do you know that
person I'm like oh they were friends with my ex or yeah but the opposite he doesn't really
have an ex so. You actually just made me think.
I think, I have no idea of what Richard was doing before you.
I don't.
Girl-wise?
Is anyone out there now?
Relationship-wise?
Me neither.
There's a couple, but I mean, I'm not really that bothered to know
because we haven't really got many mutual friends at all.
Yeah, you both come from such separate lives.
It's a very ideal situation, girl, is if you want to find a guy,
go on Tinder, get your radius up to 180 miles
and meet someone far fucking away.
It's perfect.
When a guy doesn't like football.
Now, this actually is probably many girls' ideal situation
to not have a guy that's into sport
but I think when they do tell you, you're a bit like, wow, that's a bit weird.
Why don't you like football?
I'm a very, someone who's in rugby's a red flag for me.
I like a football boy.
Yeah, I like a football boy too.
I don't get rugby.
I've never understood it.
And I just, I think rugby people,
rugby people for me are like private school people.
They're quite posh.
Football is scheme.
And I love...
A skiing, Crystal Boy.
You're a bit rough.
Yeah, I like you.
Very true.
That's just me.
That's just me.
Yeah, I do think, I don't really come up,
but I don't think I really socialise in circles with many rugby boys, so.
No.
But also, I'm surprised you don't think the opposite now,
because football obviously is Richard's life.
But he's not, he doesn't watch football.
Yeah, he's actually not really a basketball.
No, really.
No, but fucking CrossFit, I'm a CrossFit widow.
You're also.
a crossfit wanker. I'm not though.
Yeah. He doesn't want to be.
You push so far to try not to be
and now you are. I think you think
that because I hang about with the girls at the gym
but I'm not actually a crossfit wanking
in the sense of like I don't sit and track
what sort of weights I'm lifting that
like I could not give a shit.
But what that means to me is you're
in the cult and you
are the cult. You are now
the cult. Somebody sounds jealous.
I'm not jealous of this
She says sat in a crossfit gym recording this podcast.
I'm like, can't wait to go?
You be careful.
They're coming for you.
It's not happening.
I'll stick to my walks.
Changing passwords and not letting you see or touch their phone.
I've actually, hand on heart, never been in this relationship, being somebody, or actually
any, to be honest, where I've been a phone checker.
I'm not either.
Like, I've never gone through his phone or really been, like, look, like,
looked over his shoulder for his password.
I've never experienced someone hiding a phone from the...
No, I've not.
His phone is always up the way, like...
Like, I can just see it when they're on it.
Yeah.
Like, it's just always been that way.
Yeah.
I think people have been in really, like,
severely toxic situations.
Yeah.
And I can understand, you know,
when your gut instinct says something
and a girl is saying, like,
I did something bad, I went through his phone,
but I found something.
I think that's fair.
It's like, if you have that good instinct,
then go for it.
If you think there's something there
and you really want the proof,
then fine but just make sure you do something about it
don't just be forgive him
yeah I think yeah I agree
I think you just can't just go through it
for no reason yeah
like it'd be a regular
of course but if there is it'll be a bit shady
yeah then fair
fair fox
I'll be sitting there trying to find the password
I'd be blocking it and be like
babe why has my phone been disabled for five hours
um
Cat's pause.
When your gut feeling is screaming.
That's what someone said.
Now, yeah, exactly.
If you have that feeling when you instantly meet someone,
run.
Run for the hills.
I think I'm the red flag in this situation.
Someone who doesn't have the ability
to have an in-depth conversation.
You think you're that person.
Yeah.
At the start, I don't want to talk anything deep.
Don't talk to me in a deep feeling situation.
Yeah, and maybe the same actually.
It makes me awkward.
I don't, I can't even.
look see at the start of like seeing someone
I'll probably give them one second of eye contact
in three hours
like I'm that awkward person
who would like hug but from like the back
like I would be sitting like with the back
it's weird because you actually are quite a good deep person
to have a chat with though
no sorry you're not a deep person
you're a good person to have a deep chat with
for advice and things
yeah but I just don't want to do it like
at the beginning of a situation
or even with certain people
who I just don't really want to be on a deep level with
yeah I'm just like oh
or when you're on a night out
and someone gets you in a deep chat
and you just can't get away from them
you're looking at your friends like help me
help me make an excuse
but it's so why do people want to do that
I've no idea
I mean I'm sure we've all done it
but when you're on at this even end
of not being the person who wants to chat
yeah it's really quite a wind up
like I just want to go up and dance to the spice girls
or mammaia
living the dream
this one's made me laugh
because this has happened to me a few times
but now this is what I mean
where I said I wouldn't see this as a red flag I'd be like
wow discovering his mugshot on the national news website
I'd be like oh my god I love him
stay toxic kids
he's a bit of me
but I need no why he's on there
because he's a thug and that's fucking gorgeous
oh no I'm quite into that as well I don't mind
a bit of a thug life obviously if it was like something terrible
then no but if it's a murder I'm out
I don't think he'd be out
meeting you true if it's just like a little
you've been in a bit of a fight
a bit of a brawl after the night out
you're one pint too many
and you win the fight I'm all in for them
I'm all in for it
we're awful
once I'm with you that stops
but if you've done it in your previous
life that excites me
we are the worst kind of humans
guys with long nails
hold your hands up Simon
okay they're nice now my man said to me one time
she says Jessica
If you want to meet a lovely man
Always look at his nails
If they're clean and they're healthy
He is going to be a good man
Yeah I do have a guy
They're a bit short
They give me the ick a little bit
I do tell him that
If you are 10 out of 10
But your nails are ming
But I can't talk
Because I'm a nail biter
Very true
I like a nail biter
But just see when you've literally got
Like a pubic for a nail
Like that's too far
Yeah
And they're dirty and that.
And the skin is like bulging around the pub.
Although if they are like a worker
and they're working like the trade
and they're like a plumber and they're a bit rough and dirty.
Oh yeah, like that.
Yeah, that's kind of nice too.
You really can't win.
We can't win.
Guys, I'm really sorry.
You can do it.
You can have long nails if you're this,
but you can only have short nails if you're this.
Yeah.
So pick your battles.
Married men.
Well, I mean, no shit.
if a married man is coming up to you
it's even worse when he took his ring off
but then how do you
well you would probably find out from somebody
else what's that film
Adam Sandor one and he actually
carries around a ring to try and get him women
yeah because there are women like that
yeah I can't remember I'll need to come back
I'm not sure but yeah I mean
you shouldn't go by a married man should you really
people saying hingy all the time
you need to read this out because it's Scottish
people that say hingy all the time
instead of using correct words, that hingy.
Oh, I do, no, I hate that as well.
Yeah.
Like, hingy, you know, that hing, mind when that happened.
Yeah, we were at that hing.
You're like, what thing?
See, people who can't finish their sentence.
Guilty.
And I was saying, and then we were saying that,
so then when I was saying that,
and then, yeah, we met up after that.
I don't know anything in between that.
Can you please expand and give me the information?
Someone's right here seeing this guy
we went to play Babbinton
and he took a fancy bottle filled with water.
Yes, see.
Also, imagine going to play...
Babbinton?
I'm not playing a sport with you
and we're just seeing.
Right, Zoe.
I'm never playing a sport with you.
People have hobbies out there.
No, everything makes me die at the start.
Everything makes me die.
Being in a restaurant and them ordered
in their food, that makes me die.
What?
That's awkward when you ask for something
and they don't have it left.
I would still die.
I feel, you remember you saying this.
I feel like, Scottish
women and English women, we're a different breed
to one another. Oh, you're telling me.
I'm so bullsey
when it comes to things. I've got a friend as well that wouldn't
even text a guy and type the words
out, what time are we meeting?
I would simply never do that. Sorry,
no, what time are you out? And I was like,
why? Why are you not going to
she was like, absolutely not?
I was like, why are you not going to just write what time are you out?
They were texting loads and I'm like,
that doesn't make any sense to me.
What else you meant to say?
I wouldn't do things of that either.
You women are weird.
anything like I'm not giving you
anything you need to give me
I'm not sure I'm into this at all
like you need to like make this happen
that's how it is well but it is a Scottish thing
because you would just go up to someone
to be like I fancy do what I'm going to do
no no I wouldn't absolutely not
I would go up to them and say you are gorgeous
but there is nobody else in the world
that would say that apart from me so that's fine
but I think if I genuinely really fancy
somebody I probably wouldn't I'm just a wind up yeah true but I do think Scottish people in general
have like a what's the word like they don't really want to build themselves up but they also don't
want to build someone else up either I don't know how to describe it like the girl just wants to like sit
back but it's not like oh you kiss my feet and do everything it's more just like it's an ego thing
it's like I don't want to put it out there I want you to put it out there I don't know I don't
know how to describe it but all these Scots out there will know exactly what I mean
I know, I know they will.
To be fair, I have got quite a lot of friends that do say to me like,
Jess, you just, you're us, but times 10.
I'm a bit much, but I've got 11 or 10 out of boyfriend, so I'm fine.
I'm obviously doing something right.
I got him in the end, galies.
He's also borderline, not fully Scottish either.
No, true.
He's on the border of Scotland, England.
He is.
So I think that's how you get away with it.
Palm Angels T-shirts, they need to get in the bin.
I knew you'd say that
I'm not sure I still wears them now
but I will go home and put them in the bin now
Yeah no
But you know what it is actually
They're actually not bad t-shirts
It's because that everybody's wearing them now
And I'm pretty certain it's a red flag
When a guy sees a girl probably all wearing
I don't know whatever trend we're into
That particular week
He's probably thinking oh god she's one of them
The problem with guys is they all buy into the same
brand same like specific t-shirt
At the same time
So Palm Angels is one, Essentials is another
that everyone wears
But that stuff is nice
It is nice
Rich came home with a track suit of essentials
And I was quite shook
Because he does have his own little trend going on
And I was like wow I'm really surprised you bought that
I think he buys into the trends
But it doesn't in his own way
But he looks good in it
But yeah
I do know what you mean about the Palm Angels T-shirt
Does it give us drug dealer vibes
But then again quite sexy
compensates with gifts
well thanks so much for listening and tuning in
thank you so much cannot wait
next week we have a very exciting guest
coming on the part
we're going to be talking all things fashion
dilemmas how to build a capsule wardrobe
how to shop sustainably
and maybe some of the juicy bits
but you'll just have to wait and see
and I bet none of you can guess so it is
because it's just so mysterious
same hysterias
well thanks again for listening
and please remember to
rate, like, share
