Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the chart-topping show-stopping best podcast in the world. We're just kidding, just get it, just get it. Hello, hello and happy Tuesday, pinch punch for the first day of the month. Have you missed us? I hope so. If you love a lot and you play podcast, got to go to high-end. You've got to say, oh, yeah. No, I can't do that, sorry. Hi, Zaz, how are you?
Starting point is 00:00:39 I'm good, thanks, Jess, how are you? Hung over as hell. You are. You are. You saved. G's back, everyone. Yay! Yay for G.
Starting point is 00:00:47 He's gave us all a Starbucks this morning, saving our life, thank God. This is the earliest we've recorded, I think. Yep, 9am. Which, is that any for us, to be fair? Yeah, but I don't know why it feels so early for me because usually I'm actually sitting working it this time. Yeah. But anyway, when it's not working, it just feels early, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:01:03 Mm-hmm. I'm hungover. Although, I did drink a lot of water before I went to bed. And I remember getting into bed and I said to Richard, I actually feel fine. And I woke up like, no, no, no, no. I have got to record a podcast today. That is the worst kind of hangover, though,
Starting point is 00:01:18 and you kind of think you're going to avoid it. It's a red wine hangover. Oh. The worst. Jings. And a grony as well, which was strong as hell. But it was good. Yeah, you fucked it there.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Mm-hmm. But anyway, so tell me, why are you hungover, Jessica? What have you been up to? So yesterday I went to Edinburgh with Richard and I went to a place called the Palmerston which I really wanted to go to. It's a gorgeous, really like high-ceilinged restaurant, quite seasonal plates, they change their menu daily,
Starting point is 00:01:46 it's gorge and the waiting staff are really cool. Is that for lunch? Yeah, it was a lunch, yeah, but I actually wanted to go there because it's got a really good bakery in there and the lady that bakes there is pretty iconic in like the foodie world. when I got there all the like the baked goods had gone pretty much was only a few and they said in the morning when you go there the whole counter is just full of every pastry you could possibly think of but anyway I still went and had a set menu it was really good value for money I loved it try not to eat too much because we were going for dinner and then we went to a place called pigs it's an amazing tapas bar on the royal mile is it in Edinburgh yeah so cool if anyone wants to go to Edinburgh and fancy just going for even just a sangria or some tapas I really recommend there the people that are really nice as well. So you went there and they just kept giving me wine after wine and
Starting point is 00:02:32 this Spanish shot which is apparently a dessert but it was definitely strong. Even Richard was had a shot. I was shook. Anyone that doesn't know Richard doesn't really drink much at all but he really did let his hair down bless him. We got the train in. It was really cool. And then we went to Notto. I think that's how you pronounce it all. N-O-T-O. Would you say noto? I would say Nato, yeah. Noto. Noto. But anyway. Anyway, that, hands down, was the best meal I've had this year. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:02 We had seven dishes, small plates, and a dessert each. Every single one was 10 out of 10. Service was great. Had this crab butter, and it was in an empty crab shell with fresh sourdough dipped in. Honestly, iconic. That sounds very up my street. Yeah, it was really good.
Starting point is 00:03:18 The dessert was like a miso chocolate caramel with hazelnut. He had this fried apple pie with caramel ice cream. Honestly, it was really good. And good value for money, I thought. So what kind of food is? It's just a mix? Yeah, I would say just like seasonal. They probably keep the really good dishes on the menu continuously. Yeah, really, really good.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I really recommend that. How about you? How about you? Sorry, I've got a bit of a cold today. I went to Dream Girls last night. Yes, so you did. I think I'm actually keeping the theatre business alive at this point. Was that at the King's Theatre?
Starting point is 00:03:52 Yeah, which I was at, what, two weeks ago? Because that's good. Why did you go there two weeks ago again? Because I went to see the Cher musical. That was it. And then I also think I keep the concert business alive as well. I'm just always always seeing things and I love it. I would go see a show every week.
Starting point is 00:04:05 You know me. I love the musical world. But went to see Dream Girls and it was really good. Really enjoyed it. And just went to Sugo before it with my mum. But she'd never been. What's your go? Does she love it?
Starting point is 00:04:15 And you know, she loves a buzzy place. So we went in and we had to wait and I was like, do you want to get a drink? She was like, looking at me as if... Duh. Is everything all right? Get me a rosy wine. So we had a few drinks and then obviously
Starting point is 00:04:28 you have a couple of drinks near in there as well, which is like canned rosy wine that's not really the best, but whatever. And then we ended up getting a drink after it as well because her train wasn't for like another one, we have to get separate trains. So I ended up having a fair few as well actually. That King's Theatre is gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I went there last week to see Joanne McNally for the second time I tried again. I wasn't as piss as that time and I can voucher. She was very funny. But the venue was beaut. Never been there before? I've been on it loads of times. It's actually, yeah, it's a really nice venue.
Starting point is 00:04:57 and then the pub we went to is across the road from it and it was shut for a couple years because of like COVID and everything and it needed bought over and that's, it's just like a little old man's pub but that's like the amazing windows and all that as well, it's quite a nice week bit so did that and also we went for dinner
Starting point is 00:05:13 throughout the week, didn't we? We did, yeah, we went to the Crab Shack, the new one in botanics, next to the parlour, yeah, the West End gorgeous, I would say it was quite expensive I would say the venue itself is much better well it depends what you're into really I guess I felt like I was in London but it was expensive
Starting point is 00:05:30 but we weren't overly keen on the choices that we made on the menu were we? Yeah I think I would want to go again eventually because I do think it was but my choice was completely wrong it's not what I thought I was even getting in the first place and then but the crab
Starting point is 00:05:44 had like a salmon tart tartar didn't you it was cold and it was just not what you thought chopped up salmon with spring onion essentially it's not what you thought yeah but we got the crab cakes and they were anew yeah they were really good I love them.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So maybe we should go back and try it again. For sure. And we say expensive, but we did also have two drinks there as well. Yeah, oh yeah, so we did. Not too bad. But yeah, we recommend that as well. I got the Dyson hair dryer for my birthday. We tried it yet?
Starting point is 00:06:11 No, because, you know, I'm on a hair journey, so I'm trying my best to not wash it all the time. I've currently got my grow gorgeous hair mask in. If you saw on my Instagram, I did a little update and I do actually really quite like the stuff. I don't know if this code will be active by the time this goes out, but I'll say it anyway just in case, but it is Jess at checkout and you get 25% off
Starting point is 00:06:28 or it might be 30 by the time this goes out I'm not sure but yeah I really recommend it but yeah so I got the Dyson hair dryer and I did ask for the Dyson air wrap so bless Richard's heart sat on the bed and I was opening it and I saw the Dyson bit at the end of no way as you spent but it's 600 or 500 quid on my air wrap I don't know but this makes me want to like die fall into the ground oh no soul
Starting point is 00:06:54 And then I remember opening it and I sat there And I went, I know you can't see off my face on this podcast But I was like, oh What's this? I was like, the hair dryer Just what I wanted. Oh, and I just blest me, went, it's not it It's not what you wanted, is it?
Starting point is 00:07:12 I was like, yes, I really needed a hair dryer. My other one, my new GHD one That I only got a few months back Is burning my hair. But anyway, I sat and thought about it and it's like a limited edition one it's got all the attachments
Starting point is 00:07:28 and why I wanted the new air up was the smooth flyways and the attachment for this one has it apparently you can get the air wrap attachment on Ali Express does that mean it's a fake you can get the air wrap attachment the fake one to attach to your hairdry
Starting point is 00:07:45 to make it into an air wrap but I mean surely Dyson are going to create that if it's not already but then do you think why would you do that because then people would buy the cheaper option. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But when I'm thinking about it, listen, it's me, I've got about five curling ones in that drawer. I don't, I do this to my hair, scrape it back
Starting point is 00:08:03 every day. And I do think if I did enjoy the drying experience, I would make an effort to dry it smooth and I'd just keep it down. Yeah. And I don't want to dry my hair much because I don't want to damage it. So I just leave it to dry wet. The whole thing about that is that it's better for your hair, is it not? Yeah, that's, yeah, meant to be amazing for your hair. So I'm going to keep it. Bless Richard's heart. He made the right choice. I was here. I was trying to figure of that who? Were you? So I made up to play the part of that.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Oh, it's G's fault. Everything's G's fault. So yeah, bless him. But I also got, Zoso got me the new Jamie Genevieve's Skin Nova Primer, which I'm going to try and let you know.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Because I'm obsessed with the Becker Primer, which is discontinued. I shout about it all the time. The dupe that I've found that I love is the Elamist Superfood Primer, glow primer. That is gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:08:52 But I have heard that the skin Skin Nova by Jamie Genevieve's collection is. Yeah, I'd like to know how it is as well because I was actually a fenty primer user. I mean, I still have it, but for God's sake. Sorry, you just spelled that all down your new jumper. Oh, I did.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I'm my fault too. She's fault again. She's fault she bought it. Anyway, yeah, I like the fenty one, but you know when you just kind of get over something? Yeah. So I'd be like a new one. I'm on the market.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Yeah. Well, you need to go to Harrow. beauty in Edinburgh. And I said, just a quick funny story. So got the train to Edinburgh yesterday and Richard desperately needed the toilet and we got up to the station and he allowed this to happen.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I was like, I'll go to the toilet you do. He walked towards the women's and I went towards the men's by accident. I walked in, there I am, in the middle of the men's toilets. Everyone's got the flipping Willie out at the... And he was outside, pissing himself and I turned around like, oh, oh, um!
Starting point is 00:09:48 And he was just outside, like, I just knew he were going in there. But anyway, it got me thinking, How awkward is it for men? Gee, maybe you can answer this question. There's obviously the urinals on the wall and there's cubicles. Clearly if you're going in a cubicle,
Starting point is 00:10:00 you're going for a shit. Yeah. So everybody knows when you're going to the toilet as a man that if you're going to the cubicle, you're having a big dump. Like, what the hell? I've thought over that a few times, by the way. But also, I just think if I was a man,
Starting point is 00:10:12 I would just want the privacy. It's not that I'm doing a shit. I just don't want you looking at my willie while I'm paying. Yes. But then is that just because I'm not a man? You're not looking. Do they not? I would have a little sneaky.
Starting point is 00:10:22 peak. I even think as a girl, like, and this might come across weird, but I think out of nosiness, you just couldn't help but, like, have a wandered an eye. How are you packing them? Do you know what I mean? They're looking? It's not that, like, I don't want to look at other women's bits, but I don't know, it's just a nose-it, but maybe that's because we're not used to whereas that's the norm for me. That is true. But see, every time you're standing at a urinal pain, are you, like, so focused on just looking ahead? Like, does that thought always go through your mind or is it just natural mind? But also, imagine there's
Starting point is 00:10:54 a cue for the cubicle, like you are guaranteed that toilet is going to smell every time because everyone just poo's in there. Gee, I feel sorry for you. But anyway, it got me thinking I was like, wow, I've never really even thought about that that much. What I love is that Richard just stood back and watched you do that.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Watch me walk in. As a row of them with all the willies out. Yep, I would do the exact same thing to you. I would just watch you because I would know she's not even looking. She's going in. I didn't even look. anyway so by the time this episode goes out we've had to pre-record this because I'm off tomorrow on holiday with my family and then when this park goes out you also will be going to Copenhagen yeah so when we do actually meet again and have our so basically next episode we'll have the biggest three week catch-up ever you can't wait you can't speak to me for three weeks we don't speak about like the most basic things like anything exciting that actually happens we don't discuss anymore I know. Save it for the pod. Save it for our friends. We have damaged our friendship for all of you listeners.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah. Although I do see you more than we used to. Yeah, no, it is nice actually. Yeah. Anyway, this week we are talking about unpopular opinions and things you just don't get the hype about. And if you've got anything from the last 12 episodes, is that right? You will have maybe realised that I absolutely hate everything in existence. This is always time to thrive.
Starting point is 00:12:17 And geez. thriving we are both virgals and I don't even know if that means anything but the conclusion we've came to is we think we're the best and we think everything else is absolutely shit so I'm just absolutely buzzing about this so before we just go on we just want to say this is very lighthearted very tongue-in-cheek don't take anything offensive this is just people's opinions no what I say is factual that's what I mean but if your opinion doesn't match mine and Zoe's then we're coming for you okay Why don't we start with you say one
Starting point is 00:12:50 and then I'll say one and then we'll get into the listeners because there's loads. This is probably the most we've had back. People are banging. You're all little bitches. Love it. So I would say
Starting point is 00:13:02 my unpopular opinion this is not overrated this is an unpopular opinion because I think no one else agrees with me here. I don't like things that are sparse scented. So let's say somebody said to me I've got this candle
Starting point is 00:13:15 and it's a spa-scented candle or I've got this diffuser or I've got this amazing face cream and it smells just like a spa. I'm like, that is absolutely not going on my face. I don't want that in my house. I'm not saying I dislike the smells of spas, like actual spa, but I like things that are quite masculine scented or fresh smelling. So if something smells like a spa, I'm not interested in it.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I feel like I'm really on the fence with that one because I like quite similar sense to you when it comes to like perfume and candles and stuff. But I do also like, we'll kind of chat with this other night and I do like that elemish fendam. But I'm like, is it the product to like? I think so. Like, I don't mind if it smells spalike when I like whatever it is,
Starting point is 00:13:57 if you know what I mean, like if it's a product. Yeah. Like I've got a wren body wash just now and I would say that's quite spa-like, but it feels nice, so I like it. Yeah. I wouldn't want a candle that's a spa scent. No.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I'm like, that's for the spa. Yeah. The elemise clenzy balm is good. I have used that before and I do really enjoy it, but I think it's the product that I like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:17 So that's my, um, that's my, um, That's probably, it's a bizarre one, I know, but I only thought about this other day when Jilly said to me, oh, I've got a neon pod and I've got this amazing essence oil in. It smokes my house, I'm like a spa, and I was a bit like, ooh.
Starting point is 00:14:29 No, Jilly. Not for me. And also another unpopular opinion. Maybe this is just me, and I know you feel the same. I'm not into at all reality stars, especially the Kardashians. I couldn't be less interested in Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Could not give a flying fuck about what they're up to. I know the top level goals. purely because I don't live under a rock but I don't watch it no I think I follow maybe two out of however many there is on Instagram and they get unfollowed and refollowed yeah I'm the same that I'm like that with Kendall quite like her style but I don't get it I'm like but they're business women I'm like they are now like yeah because they can be I'm like but they didn't start because of that
Starting point is 00:15:10 but I feel like we feel this way because we don't watch keeping up with the Kardashians I think if you do you fall in love with them and I've watched a couple of episodes when it's been on the TV in the background and they are funny but I'm like I'm like I just I'm like I feel like I'm just I like people who have really done something you know I'm not made a porno yeah pretty much I know she's more than that now I do think her skims I would definitely buy something from skims I've heard it's unreal yeah I would like to try it I'm not like a hater of the Kardashians I'm just saying I'm just not really invested in them I think that's something we're not on the hype of yeah that's right whereas one of my best
Starting point is 00:15:44 friends Louise she could tell you everything about them really but she's not like a weird like you know people are like really weird fans she's not like that she just like she does keep up with them and she does yeah I like that so I just get my snippets of like what I need to know I've got um a little few free gifts in Harrod's beauty yesterday and they gave me some sashes of Kylie's skin and I thought I ain't using that on my face well this is another thing obviously because well you're really into skincare anyway and because of my work we try a lot of other yeah brands and whatever and all of their brands that they've ever brought out they're actually really shit for you are they like they're not good for your skin at all it's just really like gimmicky skin care
Starting point is 00:16:24 do you know what i think it's not actually good for you anymore right not science you led yeah anyway i would say my main one here she goes i think i've touched on it before is harry potter there's a lot of these by the way he's not alone i honestly just don't get it and when i said it in the chat the other day we've got some big time harry potter fans in our group chat yeah so it I know. And I did just to say this about stranger things, but not as passionately. And then obviously I did watch that and now I do love that and part of my wishes
Starting point is 00:16:52 I didn't really ever admit that, but anyway. But I've tried with Harry Potter because I do quite enjoy Harry Potter world in Universal Orlando, whatever it is. But when I came back from there I was like, let's try it again because I really enjoyed that. It's shit. It's actually shit.
Starting point is 00:17:09 So I'm on the fence here a little bit. I don't think it's shit. I think you're being bang out of order. I think film one to four is great. After four, you've lost my interest. It's too dark and... Daniel Radcliffe... Yeah, he's the most irritating him.
Starting point is 00:17:27 He is world's worst and annoying actor. He really is such a bad actor, isn't he? Everything he plays in is that... No offence, Jessica, right? Oh God. That English accent drives me to a different place in hell. It's horrific in every single sense of... the word. He's so annoying.
Starting point is 00:17:47 He's just one of the people that I'm like, you're not even pleased to look at, you sound like an absolute worst, see you next Tuesday, and you're just this wee skinny, scrawny guy right. Right, we're moving on because I'm actually getting quite upset. She's like bright red in the
Starting point is 00:18:02 face. Also, I think you're not alone there though, sorry, there was a lot of Harry Potter. It's also, like, I've definitely bought jelly stuff for secret salads and stuff. See, when you've got like the merch and stuff, things when you're an adult, like grow the fuck up, it's just childish. I think even Gillie and Molly are two friends
Starting point is 00:18:20 that are like real big fans. I don't think they like Daniel Radcliffe either though, do they? Not to be fair, I don't think they do. Everyone's favourite who has got a bit of decency in them is like Ron, is it not? Because he's quite like bunny. I don't even know. I actually don't know because I couldn't be less interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Someone's coming for me in this, right? Someone is coming for me and they have written Lelabo Sansal 33 Just no I wear that almost every day Same It is the best fragrance
Starting point is 00:18:50 On earth How dare you I'm going to say something Right They obviously just can't afford it There you go Sorry Sorry
Starting point is 00:18:57 Sorry I'm only joking Just a lighthearted comment Because actually I can't either Someone always needs to buy for me Same I'm like that shit
Starting point is 00:19:09 That's on my Christmas list This year I would like to talk about one that you wrote into your own podcast. I wrote it in because I knew I'd forget. Go on then, go. Farting in front of your other half as I know. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:22 So I'm just, I've really needy out, you here. Out me, because everyone knows. You will fart like a trooper in front of me. You will burp in front of me. In fact, you would do it in front of everyone. Yep. Everyone knows me as I am, you know, my IBS is rife and I'm not shy about it.
Starting point is 00:19:37 But I have never, ever would I fart in front, deliberately in front of any boyfriend because I would kill them and gas them. Well, this is a situation, right? But no, I just could never. I can relate to you in that sense because as we know, I'm not exactly got the best bill situation either.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But if I didn't, I would be chronic pain. That's why I am in chronic pain. I could, no, but it's not even an option to hold. I have to go to the toilet and just sort of go that, I'm surprised I'm still in a relationship at this point. Listen, I just can't Because I feel like I would never get a guy again If they
Starting point is 00:20:18 I actually said to myself At the start of going out with Jason Don't do all that Like be better at being a woman Come on, grow up And then it just, it gets Actually managed for like, say like a couple of months And then we were in holiday
Starting point is 00:20:32 And the thing happens, it always happens When people start doing it I did it in my sleep Oh, it was like a midday sleep You know when you're in holiday and it actually woke me up as well which was the worst part about it
Starting point is 00:20:45 and I was like he was like so much for never doing it and I was like well that's from now on apologies you're getting guests but there's a few friends of mine and hours that would say that they would fart and then they would trap their other half head under the quilt and stuff
Starting point is 00:20:58 like I could never ever do that no I absolutely do it so funny no you turn to me no because if you had any idea of the scent that comes out of my body you would think there was a dead person within me. You would think there is a dead pigeon in my stomach.
Starting point is 00:21:15 So it's just funny. I'm like, you would do that to me, so I'm going to do it to you and it's 10 times worse, so enjoy. Poor Jesus, man. Sometimes I say, I'm like, how, like, should I stop that? And he's kind of like, no, it's just part of you. Yeah, I don't know, I could just could. But I'm not sitting here saying that, I don't.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I would never. like oh but if it does happen and he'll go oh my god that is disgusting i would be like oh stop it stop it you've went too far now to ever be able to just be like it's been eight years i can't just let one rip now can i imagine he'd be like whoa but then he was telling me the other day how it's pulled your shit out of the toilet oh oh block the toilet one time and he had to put his hand down there oh my god so i'm struggling you are out of me i'm going bright red i'm struggling to understand the boundaries I've got. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Can we just say that conversation came from Zoe telling Richard that she'd blocked the toilet and she had to... I'm not going to... She had to pour in a plastic bag! Also, it wasn't me that blocked. I came back to France and the toilet was blocked
Starting point is 00:22:29 and eventually it went unblocked and I thought we can't keep putting stuff down that. We're actually... we're horrible but I don't have any dignity about being a woman anyone oh my god piss ourselves, shit ourselves
Starting point is 00:22:48 we just do eating eating shit with a spoon we're disgusting another one that a lot of people have said that I strongly disagree with and I'm actually highly offended
Starting point is 00:23:04 friends I agree it's not that I it's not that I think it's, well, it is an unpopular opinion, but I do like it, but I've never been into it, so I can't really get the whole, like... To be fair, I think it's one of the ones, like when we were talking about all the nostalgic stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Yeah. If you weren't into it from being young, you can't really get into it a later age. Because I remember coming home from school and just, being on, like, we just always put it on in the background. Yeah, so it's just... And it was actually... Nostalgia for you.
Starting point is 00:23:35 My brother Adam that was more into it. Well, obviously, he was older, so he watched it more and now he's actually not as much because he's like I've literally seen every episode 45 times then even like my wee sister
Starting point is 00:23:45 who's 17 isn't it because we were so so it's just kind of I think if you're someone in your family's really and it just passes on because it's such an easy watch it's always on
Starting point is 00:23:52 some people have said about friends that it's just not funny they just don't and I have to kind of agree with that I'm not watching it like howling of laughter I think you need to know
Starting point is 00:24:02 you need to have seen it all to kind of understand like the characters and what they're like and blah blah but for example Jason is like I do not put that on the telly he hates the background laughing right which I don't even notice because I'm so used to it
Starting point is 00:24:18 like I wouldn't even have told you that was on it if no one had pointed out I see anyway you can all fuck off there's so many responses now I agree with this one and this is one I would never think chippies smell better than they taste and I said this to Richard yesterday and we both went yeah I actually agree with that they probably do they do taste great but they do smell better And then once you get it, you're like, but do they actually taste great?
Starting point is 00:24:40 Because everything really is quite bland. It's the salt, the vinegar, the sauce you put on. Everything's just like a battered something. Very true. So yeah, I think I agree with your unpopular opinion there. Oh, another one a lot of people have said is Dubai. Agree, couldn't agree anymore. Now there's probably a lot of people here that listen,
Starting point is 00:24:59 that are from Dubai or live in Dubai. It isn't that, it absolutely isn't that I don't enjoy it because I do. I think people are saying it's overall. but what it is there's something missing. I come away from it not pining to go back and I've been there now four or five times because I've got
Starting point is 00:25:15 friends over there and I it's just my least favourite place I've been. I mean I've never been but my guess would be that I would like to go but my guess would be that the problem is I know you say when you go to the places there's not restrictions you just have to drive everyone but you can't really just like stow around your own leisure really can you
Starting point is 00:25:32 and there's certain places that you need to be dressed a certain way and all that and stuff so do you think It's that. I just think it's a bit of the fact that you can't just, we can stroll out, but it's boiling. Everything's quite high rise. It's a relatively new city. Is it a city?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah. So there's not much like culture or history behind it. So I think it's missing something quite hearty about it, if that makes sense. Well, usually in holiday you like the places that I've got like the party, but then you like the old town other days and that's completely all just. Everything you go to needs to be the kind of event, doesn't it really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Like a brunch or a, beach pool party or whatever. So maybe that's it. But the friends that I live there absolutely love it. So it's not, I don't know, it's just not that I just think it's my least favorite place
Starting point is 00:26:16 I've been on holiday, but that may be because I've always visited friends and stayed in their apartments. I've never really had the whole hotel experience. True. But yeah. You don't really ever see someone move there
Starting point is 00:26:25 and come back. No, very true. Or fajitas. But didn't they say that they didn't like it when they were younger, but now they do? Or is that another one? A few people have just wrote it in
Starting point is 00:26:35 Oh, have they? So they obviously think it's overrated. I must say when I still lived at home and I knew Fahitas was for dinner, I did have a little bit excitement about me. Yeah, me too. Throughout the day. Fijita is one of those things that the thought of it and cooking
Starting point is 00:26:49 it can't be asked. Once you actually eat it, you know what, that was actually quite nice. We actually have it quite a lot because Jason now likes it so I was like, wow. Yeah. That's quite adventurous one, I've added the list. So we take it every second night. Now there is a lot of this woman and quite a few people
Starting point is 00:27:05 are thinking that they're going to get hate for it because they think they're alone, but you're not alone. So many Beyonce. So many people think she's overrated. Now, I love Beyonce, but I will only ever really listen to her old albums or anything with Destiny's Child. New, now she's too Illuminati for me.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I don't listen to her at all anymore. Do you not? No. I used to like her. I went to see her, like, a good few times, I think. Were you there? The Hamden one?
Starting point is 00:27:32 No. I was there with some friends, but then, like, Jelly Carick says were there, so I didn't know if you were there too, and it was the one where she was with Jay-Z and she was shit and Jay-Z like carried the whole thing but then it came out that she was pregnant I'm sure
Starting point is 00:27:43 so it kind of made sense but that just kind of put me off her because she looked as if she was just coming on singing the song there was no like chat like no like personality anymore she's actually normally a really good performer I've seen her a couple times well that's the thing she wasn't dancing much
Starting point is 00:27:57 but then it all made sense because she was pregnant but even though it all came out and she gave an excuse and whatever it did put me off and I'm not listening to any of you her new music but you know I listen to some of the radio I feel like Kanye US went down that route as well
Starting point is 00:28:10 all his old stuff was amazing and now it's all just like what is this you're trying to be too edgy it's just not even working I think she's just she was it in her time so just move on from that yeah like don't try come back but then you know who I will welcome back oh my god red carpet rolling out when she comes back she's been having a year after 10 years too long now come on hen your wains it
Starting point is 00:28:34 get the mic out I know I love Rihanna but she's been doing fenty doing well with that ain't she Fenty underwear Fenty makeup What The meme
Starting point is 00:28:45 About doing the What's it called Super Bowl Yeah And it was She turns up with the fenty counter That's when she's coming back Isn't she in Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:28:56 People are so fucking I love that much I've even put that date in my calendar Right I did I put Rihanna Rihanna's coming Yep. I really like that with Rihanna and Stormsie.
Starting point is 00:29:06 By the way, a few on baked beans. Yes. I would eat them for breakfast lunch and done, I'm sorry. We have actually a nice voice note. What about beans? So one thing that I don't get behind about is baked beans. Everybody fucking loves baked beans and they just make me feel sick. I would actually say it's a phobia at this stage. People are like, oh, skinheads on rafts, thoughtful of beans.
Starting point is 00:29:31 and I'm just like they're just foul and the thought of one cold lone baked bean is that's the stuff of nightmares I love that no I couldn't disagree more
Starting point is 00:29:46 I would eat beans honestly every day every meal and what I will confess is I could also eat them cold out the tin no no no that's too far love I've got my dad to blame for that
Starting point is 00:29:57 because he I wouldn't eat them cold on my meal like don't get me wrong I wouldn't but you know when you put them in the microwave or whatever, I will always have a wee a couple of scoops. No. And he does that as well, so shout out to Jenny.
Starting point is 00:30:10 There is a lot of beans. Beans is jail food. It's a singular cold bean. Oh my God, there's just so many responses here. Also, highly offensive. Short ugboots or just uggboots in general. As though he says. Can I?
Starting point is 00:30:28 I've literally got it on my foot as a speak. love them. Somebody also wrote Tenerife and I'm flying there at flipping 9 o'clock tomorrow morning sound on, can't wait. No, but we've discussed this before. The reason is people think it's the only place that you can actually fly to on the earth
Starting point is 00:30:45 and go five times a year and that's why it annoys people. So I've never been, so I'll give you my true feedback. But I think you'll be like, oh it was great because you find a good place. Yeah. Like that's your thing. I haven't planned anything though. And don't get me wrong, I've been a few times
Starting point is 00:31:00 and you do get the wet well actually can be quite cloudy but anyway you get the heat and there is like quite a few restaurants and like some fun pubs and whatever I just want to go to that water park and that if you could put that somewhere else I would actually go all the time really? That water park is it good
Starting point is 00:31:16 Jess the wave pool actually puts you from A to B and 0.3 seconds the wave comes you go under the water and you come up and you're like whoa you're on a completely different part pool. You can't see who you were with. It's wonderful. Have you been to Typhoon Lagoon in
Starting point is 00:31:35 Florida? Because that was, that was amazing. I actually think I remember thinking at the time because I think I've been to Florida after Trenereyth and Sand Park way pools better. Is it? It's meant to be the best theme, the best water park in the world or Europe. Obviously Dubai's probably got a better one. Probably Europe but it is really good. All right, I'm buzzing for it. I'm jealous of that actually. Also I checked the weather out today and it's 28 degrees so I mean I'm not complaining you'll have a great time but another thing that I am a little bit pissed off about is my mum works in a school so it's going to be in the school break and there's going to be kids everywhere yeah it's a school break actually oh god not cute that's another
Starting point is 00:32:16 thing overrated kids there's a couple of responses I think it's more unpopular opinion that you should have them because all the oldies think everyone should yeah whereas I think everyone West kids at some point they'd probably say they're overrated. Yeah. Gene nodded everybody. He did. On the subject of G
Starting point is 00:32:39 somebody wrote in Star Signs. I wonder who that could have been. So we were trying to explain to him that he's a Virgo and we read out the Virgo Mail. Gee, if you could describe yourself in three words, what would it be?
Starting point is 00:32:53 No, I'm biased because I've already read that. True. But I've sent it to him. This is Graham to a T. A typical verb. Ergo man can be described as observant, realistic and trustworthy. The man prefers his own company, does not like crowded places, and takes a long time to trust people.
Starting point is 00:33:08 He is a mysterious, contemplative being, who stands by his principles with unflinching ease. That is you, without a doubt. And you're the female version, Zoe. So he's sitting here saying that he does not like star signs. It couldn't be more true. The thing is, I do kind of think it's a lot of shite as well. I actually didn't know my star shine for a long time.
Starting point is 00:33:30 like longer than I should have, I should have known it. And then when I realised I read one description, I thought, yeah, that's me. And then that's as far as I'll go. I don't know if I'm we were talking about the other night. What is it, your water, fire, air? Yes, I'm an air sign. Then we're going to get to the moon rising signs,
Starting point is 00:33:46 no, this is where, this is where I draw the line. Why, if you get a star sign, a moon and rising sign, whatever the water, air and fire thing is. And then you'd probably get something else. Like, can you just have your star shine? It's completely based on when you're, mom and dad got together.
Starting point is 00:34:01 All based on when your mom and dad shagged each other. Yeah. And the time you're born. And also, now that you've got these four other signs that are part of you, it's making everyone the same thing anyway. Okay. So we're moving on. We're moving on. What I think is highly rude
Starting point is 00:34:15 is Richard Tate wrote in Zoe's banter. Yeah. That is not an unpopular opinion. What? That's not an unpopular. That is a popular opinion. Wait. Yeah, you're... Even I'm confused with the question.
Starting point is 00:34:31 You're throwing me off. I think he's saying that's overrated because obviously I became quite a super star recently. Yeah. So what I would like to say, Richard is... Richard... You're a miserable man. He has written.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Let me just read through some of what he said because... I've got them here. Yeah, read them. Nightclubs just full of... Whanks? Yep. Dressing a baby and designer clothing. Birthdays.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Just birthdays. Tori macaroni, okay. Chinese food. fucking vapes, starshines, herbal life, supporting a football team, Zoe's banner, not liking animals more than humans, and then said, fuck this game, I don't know how to word it. That's my boyfriend, everyone. Yay. Yay, he's so nice and fun, yay.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Another guy's written in here, no one actually loves art. Paying fortunes for paintings is just to show you have money. Agree. I kind of agree. You can get, like, you can get cheap art that looks the same. Yeah. And also if someone said to me Oh that's this painting from
Starting point is 00:35:32 I'd be like I'm not asked You're an archo Yeah Just talking about money An unpopular opinion Money can buy happiness And you're lying if you say otherwise
Starting point is 00:35:43 Gotta agree Me too I don't think Money in a sense makes you happy But money makes things easier And can make you happier In a sense
Starting point is 00:35:54 But I do agree that people with a lot of money aren't happy I think if you've just got loads of money but nothing, you don't use the money to get you the stuff that we're kind of talking about then you're not going to be happy but the more money you have, the more holidays you can go on, the more like nights out
Starting point is 00:36:08 you can go on, you can do more things, you can buy more things you've not got any worries. You are lying if you say that's not true, I'm sorry but I agree. Money buys freedom and freedom is happening. Yeah. You're just so intelligent. Oh my God, I have to share this and I have to get
Starting point is 00:36:26 really deep into it. Oh God. Overrated. Ed Sheeran cannot stand him. You hate him, don't you? Oh, see the minute I hear his voice and the song, it's off. Yeah, I'm not too, I'm on the fence again, I'm not really that bothered.
Starting point is 00:36:37 And what's actually a shame is I'm not even sure if it's his own fault, I think it's because they just overplayed them so much for such a long period of time that the voice, it's like putting that drill through the front of my phone head. It's horrific. And I actually remember my mum having tickets for him
Starting point is 00:36:53 a few years ago. I think, you know, when you just get excited and you buy tickets for all of the things. Yeah. She was like, do you want to go? I don't. Absolutely not. That's like going to get a ticket to hell. I would go to everything. I'd go to any concert.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I think it's a great buzz. I saw him in Hamden and I didn't really think it was that good to be honest. One that I really want to speak about is Christmas markets. Do not, they are so much better the thought than actually being there. Every single time. It all was too crowded, absolutely freezing. What can you actually get there that's not watch chocolate? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:25 But what I will say is I will go every year. Every year. out. I'm there. I get hot chocolate that's got bailey's in it. I'll take a wee picky. If I'm in Edinburgh, I'll go on some of the rides. Edinburgh is the best part. No, but the rides are the only good part about it. And then off you go and you go into a co-de pub and that's it. You're there for half an hour. But I think if you went to somewhere like winter wonder and you went to the, is it Barbarian village, the German villages that you get like the pub. If you go in there and you're with a group of people, that would be a fun day for me. But if I'm going with Richard, who hates it anyway,
Starting point is 00:37:56 We're just doing it just because to tick a box And I'm like, why do we do this every year? It's so shit. Although, I don't know if they've had it the last couple years But they used to have the bit at the start The bit that they have in summer as well, the big open bit and they always have live singing stuff in it That's really good, like that's the kind of vibes you want
Starting point is 00:38:13 Yeah But it's either you can't get against it's too busy Or it's not been on the last couple times, I don't think But no, I must agree But it's just something you need to do To get in the festive spirit in it We have another voice note here as well I think this might be to do with a cheering actually
Starting point is 00:38:26 bit I can't remember. I may to expand on my unpopular opinion of not liking iron brew and I also live a voice note. So it's not that I don't like it it's okay but as a Scottish person I feel like not being mad on iron brew is definitely an unpopular opinion
Starting point is 00:38:43 but I just don't get the hype at all it's overrated like it's okay but I'm not mad on it and you know if you go on like a girl's holiday and everyone's hung over and then people are like running around the little local supermarkets next to the hotel trying to find like one can at iron brew that's been there for about
Starting point is 00:39:02 four years claiming that it'll cured their hangover no it won't stop being mad on iron brew it's not that good just to have another apparel overall i just think iron brew is completely overrated thoughts i don't ever choose it me neither well english but i'm now i'm converted coke zero coke zero is better than diet coke i'm not a diet coke or though at all i was Coke, like full fat coke, and now I'm Coke zero. And it started in Paris and March, and I've loved it ever since. It's addictive. I would never choose.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I would never choose it. But I do like it. Yeah. But I just would never choose it. I do think it is quite overrated. It's also what even is it? I don't know, just a load of sugar. I'm not actually even sure what it is.
Starting point is 00:39:43 And see people that then say, this really affects me. When they change the sugar amounts and drinks and people are like, it's not the same. It's not the same as the old one. I must find the old one. You can't taste the difference. You're just trying to be a pure car in here, about I'm bruce. Zori, someone's wrote musicals, they're so shit. Just don't talk nonsense.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Don't talk fish. Right, let's do a quick few, like quick ones. Jaffa cakes are disgusting. Ice coffee is overrated. Cold water swimming is a no. Hulumi, no. The Mr. Brightside song. Our friend said that as well.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Yeah. What people are saying, Nando's? Completely overrated. Completely. It's actually shit. I went there two months ago with my sister and I thought, I've not had a Nandoes for ages I'm quite looking forward to it
Starting point is 00:40:31 because I did enjoy it back in the day. It was awful, awful, awful. I'll never go back now. You get good nandos and bad nandals, I think. Do you? Okay. Like one day it'll be amazing the next day, not so much. Because I was really upset. I thought I used to love this back in the day.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah, that's like a once in six month thing for me. There is... Love Island. A lot of people saying that. Yeah, fair point, but I quite enjoy it, but... I'm like, just stop me so miserable and watch him shit TV some. I'm a celeb, football, big brother. Quite a few people saying avocados are tasteless and pointless and full of calories.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Disagree, love them. Yeah, I love an avocados well. Who the lines. People are so funny, man. That actually does kind of wind me up. It looks like you've got triangles on your carpet. I think they look quite nice. But you're giving yourself a patterned carpet.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I'm not, also, I don't have carpets and I've never really experienced this. How are you hoovering the whole carpet, but still getting the lines? Because it's like how you would mow your lawn, one way down, up the back maybe. But I'm just getting you're not giving your carpet the full hoover experience. Because you're concerned about your hoover lines. You're focusing on the pattern that you're trying to make. Rather than cleaning the carpet. Just hoover the carpet.
Starting point is 00:41:44 You've clearly got too much time in your hands. I see. Get a hobby. Mac and cheese is disgusting. Anything that's pumpkin spice flavored. Okay. Salted caramel. Oh, I like salt to caramel.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I don't actually love it that much. I think we should finish on this one and I don't have any comments to make. If you know me, you know my feelings. Don't be so ridiculous. And do not say ABBA is overrated. I'm not discussing it for one second longer. See you next Tuesday, goodbye.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Zora, you have thrived today. I've never been happy. She is sitting in her bubble of hate. Dr. Evil in the corner. She's just like, mwah. Right, so, that's it. I hope you've enjoyed being so hateful with us and not taking too much to heart
Starting point is 00:42:27 because it is all just a joke and we love you all really. I might just retire from the podcast after that. I feel like I've done my bit. You really have. I've given my thoughts and feelings and now I'm probably going to be dislike. But listen, everyone knows you're shat in a plastic bag
Starting point is 00:42:39 so it's fine. It's brought me back down. I'm humble again. Okay, guys. Well, thank you so much. Please remember to rate the pod. Send in your voice notes. Any messages?
Starting point is 00:42:53 We love to hear it. And we're going to have such a humongous catch-up next week. We cannot wait. So please come back and join us. See you next Tuesday. Bye. I love you.
