Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the chart-topping show-stopping best podcast in the world. We're just getting to it. It's here, finally, the last episode of season one of a lot on your plate podcast. With me, Just Just Food and Zoe Quinn. Hi, Zahaz. Hi, are you emotional? Yeah, I am actually. You look it.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Is everyone else emotional? We won't be gone long. We're going to say max. No, let's not put a time frame on it. No, that's not, because we've not actually discussed it yet. No, seriously, we just want to say a massive thank you to all of our listeners. We never expected it to get this far, and we really hope for bigger and better things for season two. So we would love your input, anything that you think we can improve or what you would like to hear from us.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Please let us know you can always message us on the podcast page. And just a quick one, actually. So, bizarrely, I'd wanted to start a podcast for quite a long time. I've always never really had the balls to do it. And Zoe, a year ago, around now, gave me a Secret Santa present, and it was a podcast mic. She just messaged me and said, now you can start your fucking podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Never in a million years did she think she would be sat next to me doing this podcast. Never. Never. Never, ever. And never did we think that we'd actually be doing it more professionally than the Secret Santa Mike in G's studio. So, yeah, we just can't believe how it all turned around. Everything happens for a reason. I strongly believe that.
Starting point is 00:01:31 That was my gift to you saying, ask me, ask me. But yeah, but this is the thing. Everyone that knows Zoe on this podcast will know that you would never have thought she would have done something like this. And you've really come out of your shell. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:43 And you enjoy it, don't you? Yeah, I really enjoy it. And you're going to miss it. She said to me, I've got a real buzz for season two. Darling, she has got some emotion. I'm embarrassed, stop that. She did. And after this, we're actually going for,
Starting point is 00:01:58 a lovely festive lunch to celebrate with Jenna, who's on the team of Colbert Media, who look after everything in terms of this podcast. And we're going to discuss everything for season two. I can't wait. We're going to brainstorm, aren't we? Yes. We want it to be amazing. Over some drinks.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Even though this is amazing, but even more amazing. Talking of drinks, we haven't got a spit or swallow this episode, but we have Christmas cocks cocktails. What is that little box you've got there? So if you follow me on Just Just Food, I did a small business gift guide. I don't know we spoke about it before, but this is a great cocktail company called White Box Cocktail. was based in Edinburgh. This is not an ad,
Starting point is 00:02:31 but I saw them in the fridge. I stayed in the Virgin Hotel, remember? Oh, yeah. And they were in the fridge there, and I was like, oh, Nogroni. Spangly out to. And they sent me, because I tagged them on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:02:43 they sent me a little box of six cocktails. They are so cute. I'll put a picture of them on the stories after this. And we have a pocket Nogrooney. We have an old-fashioned, a freezer martini, a squeezes margarita, a classic Cosmo. And I actually have no idea
Starting point is 00:02:58 what the hell that is. Let's see. I've never heard of that before. Buley Vardier. Gee, well G doesn't actually drink alcohol so I'm not sure you might know. Do you not drink a sip of alcohol? I was thinking about that this morning I just knew that would be the answer. We're not judging anyone that doesn't drink alcohol.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I am. I'm actually jealous of people that don't think. No, me too. I could definitely do it. A hundred percent could do it. You think? Yeah, definitely. Like I do get that, oh, I could really go or drink when I'm going out and like I get the buzz for it.
Starting point is 00:03:24 But I could do it without the drink, definitely. Yeah. Anyway, this is a bourbon. whiskey, Italian bitter, aperitif, sweet vermouth and orange zest. My house sounds nice. I do actually like whiskey but maybe not for my first choice of cocktail. Yeah me too. So what are you having? Well you decide first. Okay. I'll have one before then. I think this would be really good as well for season two. We should try different alcohol although we need to make sure we get a lift to the studio every time.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Wait I don't know what to have what's an old-fashioned. Whiskey. Right I love the margarita. Oh but then we haven't got any salt for the rim. No I don't like salt. Gee, don't you laugh. I don't need the rim salty, thank you. Oh, this is lovely there. 19% though, but you're going to be pissed. I've even gave you a metal straw. Saving the planet, one straw at a time.
Starting point is 00:04:13 That's a passing situation we've got going on. Jeez, how about having a heart attack we're going to spill this over his very expensive microphones? I'm going to go for, because I've already had the Nogroni and it literally blew my fucking tits off. Are you supposed to mix these for something? It's strong, isn't it? The Nogroni's 21%.
Starting point is 00:04:28 The martini is 34% Fuck it, I'm going for that We're having a party Is this a spirit? I'm going to be an overshare I've got goosebumps from head to toe Oh no, mine says freeze me for four to 24 hours I'll just pour it, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:46 How do you then drink it if it's throat? I don't get it anyway Love for this, let's just get pissed That's the strongest thing I've ever put in my mouth Right, cheers Cheers to the last episode Do you know what we do? Me and Rich.
Starting point is 00:04:58 We say titi a cullo. Why? I can pronounce it right. So you got that first, that one. And then you do the bottom. It means tits and ass. Yeah, tits and ass. It's, we better not.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Titty a cullo. Oh, you're beast. No, that is... That is... I think it's a spenet. No, that is a spirit. I think you should have a mess. That is a spirit, but it says cocktail.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It's the strongest thing I've ever tasted my life. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, seriously. If drinking from can, let it thaw for at least two minutes. No, I can't drink that. I'll be rare. Well, it's Christmas after all, Jess. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Oh, well. Anyway, white box cocktails. One step at a time. We'll have a little few sip, hey. We should be fine. Anyway, where were we? So, yeah, we were just saying, thank you so much for all of our listeners.
Starting point is 00:05:37 We physically cannot believe how many of you listen and love it. We just chat absolute nonsense, and we've had some amazing guests this season one as well, and we hope for some even more in season two. Yeah, but yeah, we really like your input. So anything that you think we can improve or anything you'd like to hear, please just let us know because we're here for you.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Right. So then. I'm getting the chaos energy again. No, I'm going to be less chaotic in the next season as well. Although do we like that? It's part of it. Part of, part of it. So what have you been up to, Zos?
Starting point is 00:06:06 Well, I've actually been up to quite a lot, so I'm just going to get my calendar out to remind myself, okay? So I went to the Christmas markets last Friday night in Glasgow. Yes, but they're good? They were actually okay. I mean, people... Sorry, that's... People are quite disappointed, apparently because it's really expensive and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:06:23 but I just got something quick to eat then went to the kind of outdoor bar bit and there was a live singer so I was happy there I thought it was great you buy totons for a drink and this is in George Square George Square ones yep
Starting point is 00:06:34 Never been and if we go to the Edinburgh one but obviously as we've discussed before I know I know I mean we were there for a couple hours and then we went to a pub I think that's just what you do you just go for a wee festive cheer
Starting point is 00:06:44 you know and then you leave but the guy who was singing was German so he was like you know that's like the proper markets are like the Steins and everything and he was about Crazy. Apparently he'd been there, like, literally all day, and he just doesn't ever stop.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Wow. Which was... He's fueled by these flipping can of groanies. Crosheque, concerning. Also, what I would like to talk about, what happened to me there. Oh, yeah, let's talk. Yeah, I forgot about this. So I'm approaching the bar, and I'm on my own, right? Jason's sitting, like, in one of the weekend of hut things. And obviously, some guy goes out and starts talking to him, because he's like a magnet to people. I don't know why that is. It's a complete opposite to me. He's a Libra.
Starting point is 00:07:20 And so he... he luckily can't see me, right? Yeah, because that was going to say, if he saw this, he would have collapsed. He luckily can't see. And these two girls approached me and say, are you a Zoe? And I was like, no, coming on, I was like, yeah. And they were like, we love the podcast, blah, blah, blah, blah, really nice girls. And then they were like, it's so funny how that you don't want to get a picture taken and all that.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And I was like, oh, I've just been out with Jess and it's happened to her. And I'm like, oh, it's just awkward, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Then we have, like, a full conversation with ordering our drinks. And then they were like, so can we get a picture in them? And I got my picture taking with my fans. You did. That's lovely, isn't it? Although I'm like, if you're frozen and awkward looking, but that was lovely.
Starting point is 00:07:59 You could never say no to that though, could you? No. And then when I went back over, I was like, Jason, did you see any of that? And he was like, no, what you're talking about? And I told him when he was like, you're lying. And I was like, no, honestly, I was like, look behind you. It's the two girls there. You're famous, Ozzie.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I'm famous. I love that. So that was great. And then the next night, I went out for dinner to celebrate Jason's mom's partner's 50th. Yes. Which was quite nice. It was in a hotel in East Cobride, never been before. It was all Christmassy and Millie was there, a little niece. Oh yeah, little niece. That was cute. And then I went to a show. Yes, so you did. I keep the theatre business alive. She does.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It looked good that, and you message you may have to say that I'd like it. It was really good. So we went to that our Denmarkan. Is that what that's called? I have no idea. Scottish restaurant. It's right across from the theatre Royal. I think that's where it was. And it's like Scottish food, but they had a Christmas menu on. Really nice, would recommend you should try it with your mum yeah and then we went across to the theatre and then watched the commitments really good you seen the film no no I haven't either but it's about like an eye it's based in Dublin so it's all like good banter and yeah nice accents and that and it's about a guy who's like rallying up a band and it's like loads of different people in it like they all have
Starting point is 00:09:08 different jobs like some are quite rough and one's like about mental and blah blah blah and then they just start a band and then they just oh that sounds great and it's all motown music they sing Oh, I need to go then. So it's not like the show doesn't have its own songs. It's like they're covering... Yeah. I quite like that, though, so you can see long, aren't you? It was really good.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Had a great time. And then last night, I went to the Elf Spectacular at the Hydro. I didn't wonder why there was no more stories after your very first one. Right, so we went for a dinner before it and we thought, to be fair, we did think this is going to be a complete hit or miss. Like, well, actually it is this, we're going to, because it's not really a pantomine. Right. we're like, what's going to happen here? Sorry, I'm swapping cocktails because I can't drink that.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You can't handle it? No. So then Jason had got, on the 1st of December, we give each other like a week Christmas card and he, you know, he's like gets my wee pair of Christmas jammies and that, right? He gets all carried away with his own chocolates and that. And he got his Santa Hat. So then he was like, we need to take them at my elf and I was like, what? And then I was like, right, okay, we'll take them.
Starting point is 00:10:07 So then we put them on as soon as you get out the car. Loads of people had them on. I thought, wow, how did you know to do that? Anyway, it was great, right? so then we walk in and then you know how in hydro they have different things in like the bar spaces depending on what's going on yeah so there was that kingdom of sweets or whatever it's called big pick a mix yes yes so it got a pickamix it was 17 pound shut up and I actually thought that's a joke for parents because people have like two kids or whatever they're right and it said like all the sweets basically are two night nine so doesn't matter what one you're picking if you know what you're putting in your bag but pair a hundred gram oh like how does anyone know I know that's how they make their money, right? But how does anyone know what grand they're on? And the bags were huge, obviously, smartly.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah. Whereas we got talking to this woman, and I was like, see, really, they should give you, you know how sometimes it's a cup? Yeah. And you just fill the cup and the cups are price. I'm like, I just think that's a shame. That is a shame. Because our tickets...
Starting point is 00:10:57 Like the cinema, though, isn't it? Yeah. Our tickets for the two of us were like 52 pound nights. So you've got a family four. Yeah, it's an absolute joke. Yeah, they're at 100 pound. And then you've got this pick up and those big candy floss and popcorn and all that. Drink, it's not that.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Anyway, we get in and we were sitting down and it was all like decorated quite nice and I thought, oh, maybe this would be really good it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. We left. Why was it so bad though? I've never left a show because I think there's always something good like you can find the goodness in it right and you enjoy the music or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:25 It was so bad. Like it was kind of like pattern of mind standard but not trying to be a partner mine whereas see when you got a patent mind you kind of expect there to be like shit bits and like a bit of a laugh and whatever the guy who was playing elf I know he jumps about and he is a bit
Starting point is 00:11:38 no right in the film right? But this guy was more kind of like flinging himself about and it was just too far. Just being a bit too try hard. Yep. And then they handed out white plastic balls that you know you're getting a ball pit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:51 And like bigger blown up ones to the audience before it started and basically said if the policeman start cycling around the bottom start having a snowball fight with audience. So I thought that's quite good for the wains right? I know we're there with no wanes. But anyway we like all that shit. So I was like, oh that's quite fun.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And then, but nothing else happened. She's an old soul, isn't she? you think I had my grandsweens with me with one and then they didn't I was saying to Jason they should like blew like snow out from the stage or like do you know what I mean yeah it was just a bit of shit was it so we left about probably not even halfway through so that was that sounds a bit tragic so anyway I would say but the set looked good from your picture I know and it was good and then they had like there was bits he was like people were rollerblading roller skating yeah round like the audience down the bottom and he was interacting with the audience and like there was
Starting point is 00:12:39 like it just could have been good. Right. It was just not. Yeah. And there was a trampoline behind the people that were sitting like down on the floor bit. And I thought maybe that would quite funny but we didn't even make it to that part. What was that other thing that was a massive flopping Glasgow couple of year ago too? Dinosaur thing or was it not? Yeah. It was like Kelvin Grove or something where people were having fun and all that. Was it still going on? I know but I think it was one year of that was it not. And everyone was kicking off. It was so bad. Yeah. It was supposed to be like Jurassic Park type things and it was like this shit as dinosaurs ever. they put like a over like all the museum they put like a dinosaur head oh yeah so they did but also
Starting point is 00:13:15 i just thought last night like you feel sorry for like the people with kids or the kids as well because there was other people leaving it wasn't just us right and you're like the fact that it's elf is pulled people in to be like this would be brilliant yeah because they're so good and it's just i can't believe the hydro to i don't know how the process works if they like agree to take things in but i can't believe they've done that i'm like that's just well anyone that works the hydro if you're listening it was shocking it was shit don't do it again but anyways That's what I was doing last night. And now I'm here with you doing that.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, but you've also finished your bedroom. Oh, I've finished my bedroom vacation. That really caused me quite a lot of stamping my feet for a couple of weeks because I just couldn't be bothered getting it done. But now I'm thankful. Now you're thankful to Trace and to Forgeon. Nice green wall. You'd have to post a little pick of it, won't you?
Starting point is 00:13:56 I will. Some panelling. And has your flipping shelf been finished or what? Yeah, it's actually finished now. I'll post a picture. Wow. We're all waiting at the edge of our seats. It's not even that good.
Starting point is 00:14:05 It's just quite like a nice shelf. But I was waiting on my Christmas print arriving. I had to get my Christmas print. And it's arrived? It's on the frame. And you like it? And it's up there, yeah. Okay, fabulous.
Starting point is 00:14:16 So I'll shade it. Yeah, lovely. The fans are waiting. My sofa swatches arrived and I've selected the shade. I saw it. It's basically white. Yes. Dusk Ekru.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Interesting. Mm-hmm. Listen, let me learn from my mistakes. Also, do you know what I'll say, see if you get a bottle of the pink stuff, everything comes out. And I don't actually drink wine in my house. that much. I really don't. If I'm drinking a glass of red wine, I'm drinking it while I'm cooking. Yeah. Also, you just
Starting point is 00:14:44 reminded me, we had a bit of a phase of drinking wine in your house. Where was that? We did, we loved that. That was that COVID. Very, very, at the very beginning. Remember that night? We were absolutely steaming. Yeah. I've had the worst hangover ever that day. I think it's all the times. I know I was skinny then as well, for fuck's sake.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Don't remind me. Honestly, I feel like to do fast at the minute. Means I were texting each other this morning just saying if anyone reads our text it'd be like completely different humans to this podcast she said I'm miserable I wrote me too I'm so fat and she was like I'm so fat I can't fit in anything because she said to me what I was wearing to this luncheon sorry I can't fit in anything me too but what's the point it's Christmas and I when I do try and diet I don't lose weight I'm like me too we're just too fat miserable we're just living our lives I know I don't it anyway.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Skinny doesn't bring happiness. Well, anyway, you need to tell me what you've been up to? Since we've last recorded the podcast, I've been really busy with just Jess, so I had lots of stuff doing that, trying to get everything finished before
Starting point is 00:15:48 so we can't handle this cocktail. Lots of things before Christmas deadlines. And then had a friend come up last weekend. That was really fun. Alicia, she, the World Cup was on, I went to Wonder Bar and let me tell you when. It was when they won 3-0 or 3-1. Whatever the one was,
Starting point is 00:16:03 That wasn't on last night. You need to clarify that they is England. Sorry. Because no one else listens. Sorry. Yeah. So I text Richard. I was like, do you want to?
Starting point is 00:16:11 Because he was like, it's Christmas due and Manchester. I was like, do you want to come meet me and Alicia and watch the game? It was like, Jess. Nobody will give a fuck about that game. I was like, yeah, they do. I was like, whether they're supporting them or not, they will be watching it. Which is true, they do. I was like, so I'm going to Wonder Bar to watch.
Starting point is 00:16:27 It's only place I can really think. We went there. There was a lot of people watching it. When they scored, she was screaming. No, no. Because she's actually friends with one of the girls that goes out with whatever, plays the team. So she was pure buzzing for them
Starting point is 00:16:39 and the bar was booing. But what I will say is they were booing and laughing at us. Yeah. They were being, you know, it was quite funny. Well, everyone's friendly in Glasgow. Yeah, they were booing and laughing. I would have been in that booing crew.
Starting point is 00:16:54 None of you wouldn't. I would. I'm very patriotic. But what I will say is I watched the game last night, France versus England, and I don't know anything about football, but I will say that referee. He was shocking. Did you watch it, Jay?
Starting point is 00:17:05 No. No, you're not into football, are you? Of course he's fucking up. And he was shocking. And he was shocking. But the French players are sexy. Sexy. Well, we got home, it was still a bit of it on.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Yeah. And even Jason was like, something like, he's handsome, isn't he? But I was kind of walking out of the room and I was like, who? I can't remember what his name is. The main one that everyone loves. I think it probably was.
Starting point is 00:17:29 It wasn't great at him. It was the rest of them that. I was like, oh, my God. They were lovely. But, but, And then I went to Leicester past two days, so I drove Richard down. He had that operation. He had a double hernia operation.
Starting point is 00:17:40 And it's just a coincidence, but the specialist for this particular op is in Leicester where I'm from. So it's in a spire hospital, very posh. Honestly, I have on private health care. It looked posh. I couldn't believe it. Honestly, he was in there. Went to the reception straight up. Surgeon even, I think, came out and greeted him.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Went up to his very posh room with an onsuit. I mean, when I say posh, it still is a hospital room. It's not nice. Yeah, but I know what you mean? Whereas, like, with the NHS, obviously it's the best they can do. Yeah. But, you know, and like shared wards and, like, all that kind of stuff. Like, it's just different, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:18:10 It was, I have to admit, this is the first time I've ever experienced private health care, and I was very impressed with it. And they came in, he had about five different nurses coming in. He had salmon, new potatoes, with a lemon-slice, parsley, and some sort of creamy sauce, and a creme brulee. I nearly shut myself when it came in. I was like, what the fuck? I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:18:30 It was amazing. and he had like full English breakfast in the mornings he had snacks, Walker's Crisp honestly he was treated like a king That's the one thing that's bad is the food Yeah Like with my Nana was in recently She got that hip operation
Starting point is 00:18:44 It was like she didn't eat anything Because she was like so... It's literally the morning And they're bringing you like a plate of chilli But there's no rice in it And it's just like a bowl of mince Really? Who's eating that at 10 o'clock in the morning? No, I know
Starting point is 00:18:55 Well actually it's funny I got a response to my story last night From some girls saying this surely can't be The NHS in Scotland And I was like, no, it's actually not. And she went, because I actually went to the hospital recently, got a thrush of the mouth from eating from the cutlery of the hospital. No, I'm going to be sick.
Starting point is 00:19:09 No, listen. This is this is, this is, the girl was so funny. She went, this is not the worst of it. She went, I've got thrush of the mouth. I then couldn't eat for 10 days. My whole stomach was full of antibiotics. As my husband picked me up, we drove by, we went through a pothole outside the Rangers ground, right?
Starting point is 00:19:24 Flat tire. A.A. man came. She went, I stood there in the freezing cold. Shatterself. she was laughing so I don't mind shout herself in the street and she kept saying we need to get in the car and she went I fucking shout myself
Starting point is 00:19:38 obviously poor cow hadn't eaten anything for 10 days just all like fully stumped in a something was full of antipartics no no like what a terrible tragic time so see if I got thrush of thrush of the mouth and it was from like
Starting point is 00:19:52 cutlery like even if you got that that would like put me in a place I couldn't be but like things like that like I clean my cutler in restaurants and everything so see the thought of that yeah I know it's bad but I was telling Zoe as well I went in to see Richard and I bought him some cookies but as I walked in he had fainted at that
Starting point is 00:20:09 of course it happened to be at that time so I was pure panicking like oh my god what's going on as he did he was dead I walked into the room at that time as the nurse was flapping and he was like oh my god what's going on but what he'd done is he tried to go for a wee get up for the first time he'd gone all like had and he knew he was going to faint and then as he got into bed he kept going
Starting point is 00:20:27 I'm going to go, I'm going to go again. Anyway, I was like, and I'm just looking at there watching and the nurse is looking at me, sort of smirking, like, such a drama queen. And I'm like, what do I do in this situation? Have you drank any water? He went, no, that is why.
Starting point is 00:20:43 So anyway, he was telling me that when he woke, he had to go under general anesthetic and he said that when he woke up, he looked at, the nurse kept trying to wake him up. She's like, wake up, Mr. Tate, wake up. And he went, all right then, you fucking witch. Obviously, he didn't realize who he was. He used to say really weird things, don't you?
Starting point is 00:21:01 And then afterwards he kept saying, he remembered going, please tell that nurse, I'm so sorry. Please tell her she, I'm so sorry. They're like, listen, he's not the worst thing that happened. And the stuff he was texting me was absolute gibberish. Couldn't believe it. Told me, he missed me about 20,000 times. I'd been gone an hour.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Then I came and he went, where have you been so long? It's like, wow, you need to go into this more. And he went, I want some liquid morphine. I was like, who is his person? Loved it. So, yeah, that was entertaining. But now he's back up and he's fine. He's recovering quite quick, actually, I think.
Starting point is 00:21:37 He's only having two days and he feels good, I think. He'll bounce back, you know what he's like? It wouldn't be surprising me if he's in the other room now doing flipping burpees. And that's it I think I've really been up to. And then this weekend coming up, because obviously we're not going to be able to speak to each other for four weeks. Obviously, me and you will, but listeners. I'm going to Dublin For the first time
Starting point is 00:21:59 Not ever I've been for work purposes Quite a few times When I used to work in London Because that's where Primark Head Office is Well, Penny's as they call it In Ireland
Starting point is 00:22:07 And yeah, so they do Penny's Head Office And I was going to have Two days of proper Christmas Festivities With some friends Have you not No
Starting point is 00:22:15 Been to Belfast Nope Zoe, Zoe, Zoe Belfast is so you Can't know Dublin's me No Dublin's really expensive And all but Dublin's the
Starting point is 00:22:25 Irish sort of Celtic thing. Yeah. Oh, whatever. So that's where I would go. I feel like Belfast is more like, it's super, super casual and it's real like live music, pubs, like in, you literally have to walk two minutes to one to the next place. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, that does sound good. It's surprising I'm not being in Ireland, actually. And it's 25 minutes flight, Zoe. Do you know what the problem is? People obviously is expensive and it's there. So we've looked at booking it. It's because it's Euros, that's quite a lot of times. And then we've ended up booking stuff else.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Right. Because you're like, well, we can go to. I don't know, spin or something. This will be, to be fair, this will be my first time I'm actually doing a nightlife. I've been to a few restaurants and stuff, but I can't really remember, it's so long ago now. I'm jealous.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah, and then... Now it's Christmas the next week. We're going to London, aren't we? New Year's Eve together. Yes. We're going to spend it at, um, your own church house. Fancy.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Very fancy. And then I'm going to the Maldives the next day. What chance have you got? Do you know what I mean? Listen, I am 30, flirty and thriving. I am not letting nobody tell me that I'm not going to live my life because I, 2023 is the year that I'm going to go everywhere that I've never been before. That's my mission.
Starting point is 00:23:34 If it's possible. You do that every year. Yeah, I know. Why not? Yolo. To be fair, most of your plans next year actually involve me. Yeah, so you're not too jealous. Which is great.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Do you want to tell everyone where we're going in Jan? Yeah, we're going skiing. Where we're going again? Valdezere. Valdezre. France? Valdezre. Is that the fancy one?
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah. Would I actually stay in... Oh, no, listen, Jesus, just not because him and his wife, Jenna, used to work. Was it both of you? No. Or was it just Jenna? Jenna's been going there forever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Jenna's a very, very good skill. We're going to have to pick our brains at lunch. No, but also, I need to go to skiing lessons because I've not done it. Jenner says she'll take us. More than 10 years. Right. Like, literally. It's not so much like riding a bike, I think.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I think you may need to practice a little bit before you go. Yeah, but some people are saying that and I'm like, I'm not sure it is. I don't think it's going to come back to me. No, I think we maybe just need to brush up our skills a bit. I'm thinking I just, any time I feel a bit nervous or scared, I'm just going to go and fall, purposely fall and just stop. Yeah. Someone might cut my head off with their skis.
Starting point is 00:24:32 You'll be fine, just make sure you've got travel insurance. And we're staying in such a wonderful, like, apartment, aren't we? What I would describe our apartment as is when the Kardashians go skiing. To be fair, we're only able to afford it because there's 11 of us going. Like, it's unbelievable. It is really good. I'm really excited. But you know, my issue is with this is we're going to have to,
Starting point is 00:24:51 I'm not planning on going to skiing every year. Well, maybe we will. Maybe we'll love it so much. we'll make this a thing. But I can't really afford to then go and buy myself all those like coats and shit, goggles. Well, you can. Was someone not saying you can hire stuff?
Starting point is 00:25:03 I hope so. That makes me feel funny. You can hire everything but you probably want your own suit. Yeah, that's making me feel. Yeah, but I'm going to wear the same suit for a week. Yeah. Oh, really? Not too.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Unless you want to be a fashiony stand. Oh, but I'm not too bothered about that. I want to have like nice woolly hats and goggles and head things, but I'm not too bothered about what I've got on my bod. Well, I think if you just get maybe one, do you wear like a full thing? You can go a all in one. Like an all in one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:31 But you'd wear the same one every day. Like you would dry out and eat and then you wear it the next day. Okay, that's good to know then. Because I did wonder how do people do that? Also, how you fit in an intercase? I know. I actually do have the trousers. Salopets, that they're called.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Salopet. Tell what they're called. My mum gave me them because we actually went skiing when I was young. And so I'm going to try them on. You're still fitting them? They're not mine from. When I was, I was actually about seven years old. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And I had the wee mitts that had the rope and I just loved them so much. You just took them off and then they just hung. He didn't lose them on it. I'm going to get them again. Yeah. So I'll have them but it's like jackets and but then we could just rotate. We're going to rotate. And what I will say is we're kind of are, we are going there to ski,
Starting point is 00:26:11 but I can't wait to go and get pissed. I know. I'm feeling like. I pray ski. I'm finding the skiing quite, you know, daunting. Do you know? I'll just meet you in the back. I mean, it's actually real hard work, you know.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I went away. I went to Bulgaria skiing with my dad, uncle and my cousin. Last time, maybe like five, six years ago now. It was so cheap there, by the, I really recommend it if you want to do skiing on a budget. And I lost about half a stone. Even though I was drinking so much booze, I'm saying that. I was grafting hard. I'm glad I'm going.
Starting point is 00:26:38 But we didn't have a skiing, ski out. We stayed in a real, like, budget hotel. Yes, you're having a like. But we had to do, we did have to like, look our stuff every day. But I felt really good after it. So can you tell me, do we just put our skis on at the door? and off-requot? Yeah, mate. I hope so for what we're paying.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Have we going to lose each other? Like, what happens? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Wait, you would, wouldn't you? Well, we just ski together, but... It's all downhill. You eventually end up in the same place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:03 If you lose each other on the way down, people end up at the same point. The best part is drinking up there. Is it? What do you mean drinking up there? Like, you're going out to ski for a day, but you'll get the lift up to a certain point and there's bars, different heights.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Sorry, I'm so excited. But then what happens. You'll get pissed and then try and ski down. Oh, we've got to be careful with that, though, don't we? Can you fall off the edge? I think it depends what slope you go on, like a black slope. We're just going to do... We're just going to take it steady, are we?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Okay. I used to be like a thrill seeker and I'm not as much anymore. But we need to talk about the fact that I might not even make it to this ski trip for what I'm actually doing in the Maldives. I don't want people to think I'm going to sit there in a little luxury cabin. We know that's not me now. I'm going on a shark excursion. Gee, do you know this, Jay?
Starting point is 00:27:44 I'm actually going to swim with sharks for a week. I don't know how I got ropes on. I don't know why you do this kind of thing. I was pissed in Tenerife and my friend messaged me saying it was really cheap it was actually a really good value for money she went, all we need to do is pay this now and you can come for a week in the Maldives
Starting point is 00:27:58 obviously I had to pay for the flight which was the bit that stung me to be fair and I was like wow this itinerary sounds amazing and then they showed me the pictures full break white they're like yeah but sharks actually don't like humans they don't care about you it's how you behave in the water with them but I'm like so you're going to go and be like
Starting point is 00:28:12 hello hello trying to like rub them and all that It's just not, right. Do, do, do, do, do. But she'd have to pull their cheeks, like, ooh. Like that, I don't think that's what's going to happen. Well, it's also sharks, dolphins, a few other things. I would love the dolphin thing, it's the shark.
Starting point is 00:28:34 But the sharks only go for you if there's blood. No, I think there's a lot of information that I've read about them on this page. And, yeah, they are attracted to the smell of blood. It's how you react in the water. And to be fair, all of their pictures, We are very calm and... But imagine it just came, it was like still, right? And then it just went, ooh, you would shake yourself?
Starting point is 00:28:53 But you're meant to punch him in the nose, aren't you? What? Punch the shark in the nose. Yeah, apparently, that's what you do. Gee, is that right? Aye. You're disagreeing with me now. Definitely punch a shark.
Starting point is 00:29:05 You are meant to punch him in the nose. Or poke it in the eye. Well, I hope to see you on that skiing trip. You never know, I might get eaten by a big blue whale in its stomach acid. And then you'll be the answer. I can give me all the answer for spite or not. You know what? It's funny though. I'm laughing and joking now. I probably might die. Can you not say things like that?
Starting point is 00:29:21 We never know. Anyway, that's what I'm up to while we're gone. So we'll have so much. To be fair, we won't have gone to skiing by the time we've come back. So we can, that won't have been. We're going to be back before then. So don't stress. Yeah, okay. Right. Going into my random thought of the day, and you've also got one for me, haven't you? Yeah, but it's actually from my mother. Yes. That she would like me to share.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Mine was. Obviously, this all came when I was thinking about my sinus issues and things. I would love to know do people actually work in sewages well they must do they have to wear a gas mask I would like to hope and think so because it's the methane in it that makes you ill so how
Starting point is 00:29:57 but surely breathing up all that that's what I mean like are you thinking of like everyone's well I was basically thinking I could quit my job on working a sewage because I actually can't smell anything like do people have sinus issues and they can get a job well maybe they need to be able to smell the smells though
Starting point is 00:30:11 why would they need to know smell I don't know Same as bin men I think they should be paid the most They get paid well Do they? Yeah, bin men get paid well I do not know how anyone could do that job
Starting point is 00:30:22 See even when I'm dragging my bin out It makes me feel sick Same as that fish markets I guess Because that makes me feel a bit gag as well Even on the fish counter Like in ASDA It's stinking It just gets to the back of your throat
Starting point is 00:30:34 Doesn't it And it's like you don't mind the smell of your own far It's true But others It's just wrong isn't it But then I just think working in a place like that, would you ever feel like you don't smell of it?
Starting point is 00:30:47 For example, when I worked at McDonald's, right, I know it's not the same thing. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you work in McDonald's? Yeah. I've not known this. I'm not. No. Well, I knew that, and the only time I speak is always in this room.
Starting point is 00:31:01 No, I didn't know this. Gee, that's a shame we don't ever speak any other shit. No, sorry, I'm... Maybe it didn't sink into my brain, which is probably what happened. I worked in the one down there, not the Hamilton West one, the Hamilton Central one. No, you simply didn't. I did, and it was only for about three months or something, honestly. I'm so jealous.
Starting point is 00:31:23 No, honestly, I hated it, absolutely. Why? I think this is when I spoke about it, and I said, every day I wanted someone to crash into me when I was driving there. So I didn't need to go. Like, I hated it. This is ringing a bell, but I didn't think it was in McDonald's. Because, you know why? It's such a culty place, right?
Starting point is 00:31:40 Like the staff. Is it? Which, if you're in it, it's quite good, because, like, I've had friends who also. to work there and they really enjoyed it and you go loads of nights out and you do the night shifts and it's a good laugh and blah blah blah right but i just wasn't really in it and didn't really like try to be or want to be because i hated the job so then it just meant when you went it was just quite shit you weren't really involved in any of the fun and you did like the night shifts and oh and you were always greasy and see if you were working and anywhere going out or whatever that night yeah you
Starting point is 00:32:05 would shower and all that and of course you didn't smell anymore right but you just felt like you did yeah you maybe think that you did like you couldn't ever go out without washing your hair and all that Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's probably a similar thing. Like, you probably just feel a bit greasy time. And I would always get burns from... The friar? Like, putting the chips in, see if they were just down.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I can't believe. You did that, sorry. I love macas. Add them... All salty and all that. Add a Mcrispy again going up from Lester just there. Day before yesterday. I added the cheese, honestly.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I've still not had one, but I did have a McChicin's sandwich. I should have got her. But I was rough. Oh, were you? I couldn't. I couldn't. But you know how I said I wasn't too impressed with it? This one again, when I said to the work galo,
Starting point is 00:32:41 I'm like, please can I have fresh out the friar chips and a real hot, macrispy with cheese. It was so good. I looked at Richard and went, again, no regrets. Did he have one now? I'm so flat, but I'm just flipping love. I really wanted a festive pie as well, but they ran out. What's the festive pie?
Starting point is 00:32:55 It's like the mincemeat custard festive pies. Cheese, done with us shit, he's left us. So anyway, what were you saying? My mum's random thought was, and it's actually quite funny. When did the... Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, okay, bye. Start. Who started that when you're hanging up the phone?
Starting point is 00:33:10 And why does everyone now do it? That is so true. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. You're like, okay, that's my way, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Is that because I did that in the last episode? Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Okay, bye, bye. I don't know, but my mum just text me one day saying, I have a random thought for the day.
Starting point is 00:33:26 When did the bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, start, and who started it? And do we all just copy each other subconsciously without deciding to now? Yeah, I think so, because we could just go, boop. You could just say, okay, bye, that's my way, bye. I think I do do that, though. But everyone, everyone starts going like, bye. Okay, bye, bye. No, you hang up, bye.
Starting point is 00:33:43 No, you hang up. And then they'll say it and I'll quit to go, bye. Bye. Yeah, hang up. Why? It's probably because you don't want to sound too blunt. So you're like, okay, yeah, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. It's such a thing.
Starting point is 00:33:55 It's just in case I don't hear you say it, maybe. Bye, blah, blah, blah, bye, bye. And then my mum now has started like the love you thing because I don't live there anymore. But you know what I'm like, and my mum's pretty much like me as well. Like, she isn't heartless like me, but we've never been a, like, love you family. like we'll hug when we see each other and whatever but we've just no one's ever said it really my dad sometimes says it to me
Starting point is 00:34:16 and I quite like it but I don't know I don't see him as much so I'm just kind of like oh like me dad like we're cute and then my mum started it but because you're not doing it when she started doing it always made her really laugh so she would always say it and then be like we would still be on the phone or whatever because she would be like in a fit of laughter and I'm like just stop saying
Starting point is 00:34:34 it if it makes you laugh even still every time we say it she's like love you and then she's like oh that's really sweet So now it's bye, bye, right. Love you, love you, bye. Love you bye. Because she feels awkward. She's trying to disguise it by loads of fucking buys.
Starting point is 00:34:48 It's like, bye, bye, love you, bye. On the opposite, I was smothered with love. In the sense of like, I don't mean like smothered with love. But say I love you. Yeah. Always like at the end of every quiet, love you this. My dad's really like loving. My mum's very, she can be quite cold, but she's also very just lovely, lovey,
Starting point is 00:35:05 loving. We are all really close and I think you would expect it. But just none of us have ever been like that. Yeah. And even like when I first. was going with Jason he always says love you and he's hanging up the phone he's mum and I was always like and then like it obviously like it got to the point like we were kind of saying love you then he would say it to me and I'm like do you say love you back I have to say love you I say have to
Starting point is 00:35:23 you say love me if you say it to me oh I don't like like I would never be the one to wow I'm going to really really think about that now yeah because sometimes with you shout it I'm kind of like you love you you're awkward as fuck I love it we have become big time and i know we've said it before but now i mean big large humongous time we really are and we've got an exclusive to a sky program don't we jess we did and we even got invited to the premier in london we did but we couldn't make it we're too big time to go to that but it'll be the next one we'll definitely anyway shall we talk about the program yes yes so it's called Rosie Malloy gives up everything
Starting point is 00:36:10 and it's coming to Sky Comedy and I'll tell you a little bit about it Rosie Malloy is addicted to everything smoking alcohol, Terry's chocolate oranges Xanax Adderall caffeine the list goes on She sounds like me relatable
Starting point is 00:36:23 After an embarrassing instant At her brother Joey's wedding She wakes up in hospital and decides to change her life By giving up everything But as Rosie juggles her father Connell's ill health And subsequent death
Starting point is 00:36:36 With a dawning realisation that are her addictions are destroying her friendship, family and work life Rosie must come to the realisation that perhaps it isn't the addictions that are the problem Rosie is played by Sheridan Smith who was in Pitesalaga Benadorm
Starting point is 00:36:51 Gavin and Stacey She's been in everything, isn't she, over the years? Very well known actually And I actually loved the cast in it, did you? Yeah There's so much like diversity in the cast and everyone's so funny, I loved it And you know what else I love about the episodes as well?
Starting point is 00:37:04 Great for me because my attention span is awful as we know, 23 minutes per episode. I love that. Because see if you've only got a little hour before bed, you can get more than one in. Exactly. I loved it. I actually watched the first episode twice.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Of course she does. Was I just get all the information. And what did you think? What was your initial thoughts? So my initial thoughts was she dived straight into it. I'm not going to give too much away. We're not allowed to give too much away. She's going to have to simply watch it yourself.
Starting point is 00:37:32 But she went straight into it. And that's what I really loved about it. I was hooked from the first. second and I wanted to know basically what she'd done at the wedding for her to feel like she wanted to give up everything and when I say she's addicted to everything she really is like addicted to drugs smoking alcohol sex just everything I was actually really laughing because the first interaction you see with her with a male as her brother right yeah then the second interaction is with someone in her work and he literally speaks to and she goes whoa and I was like that's you it's me Like she was just looking at and then she went up and touched him and I was like, that's Jessica.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Not even thinking what he's saying and she was like, wow. No, she wasn't listening to No, I did really love it. Basically, the wedding was a dry wedding. That's right. Because her brother's fianc's mom was like an alcoholic, yes, she was an A, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So it was a dry wedding and she absolutely fucked it. And she's really close with her brother as well so he was looking forward to her to being like he said that we want you to organise a stag do, we want you to organise X, X, Y, Z. But just to let you know, the wedding is going to be dry. And we do not want you to fuck it up, basically. She fucked it up, Jess. She did. Big time. She did. So I would like to know
Starting point is 00:38:45 what have you had to give up? Well, luckily for me, I haven't had to give up anything like that. I was a social smoker back in a day, menthols, until we were no longer allowed to smoke them anymore. And then they introduced vapes, which, yeah, a terrible addiction. But I would say I've had to give up things like biting my nails. But I still do that. So it's nothing serious at all, like Rosie? Nah, me neither. And what sort of advice would you give to someone then if they were addicted to something
Starting point is 00:39:11 that they really need to stop? I would say take it one step at a time. I think doing it all at once. So not the cold turkey route. No, not the cold turkey route. I feel like that's something that I'd have to do though. I know, but you are very like all or nothing. I'm impulsive.
Starting point is 00:39:23 But then it doesn't last. We've learned this about you. It's like the journals all over again. It's correct. But I've got the sensible head on and what I'm thinking is. You need to do it one step. At a time. So you can't do it, giving up the smoking,
Starting point is 00:39:34 didn't alcohol, all the pills, the sex at one time. She needs to do smoking one week, see how she gets on. Maybe drink the next, maybe the sex. And then whatever else she's up to. What was your favourite bit in the episode one? Mine was the, I'm not going to obviously say what it was, but when she was the yoga teacher in the pub, I was piercing myself.
Starting point is 00:39:53 That was funny. I then liked when she was trying to do the yoga. Yes. And her apartment, and then the guy came out. Love him. Do you like him? Yeah. And she was stuck in the position.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And he was talking to him. She was just like, yeah. Like not responding. But then I also did like the bit that I said about that guy speaking to her and just making noises and touching him and just not listen to anything that he was saying. I reckon they're not together. But I feel like her relationship with her mum and dad, I feel like she's very much like her dad versus her mum.
Starting point is 00:40:18 I think that's where she's kind of got that side to her and her brother's more like the mum. Well yeah, because her dad's not well and he was basically saying I'll be fine, I'll be fine. And he's carrying on drinking and smoking. Yeah, and that's exactly what she's doing? Exactly. So what she thinks going to happen? What do you want for Rosie Malloy, Jess? I don't want, I feel like the side to her that's fun
Starting point is 00:40:36 is the drinking, the sex with co-workers and all that jazz. But I do feel like she wants to give more in life. She's very good at a job. So I feel like that if she maybe cut that down, she can maybe focus a bit more, she could maybe keep more friends. She hasn't got many friends. And obviously she's lost a relationship with her brother
Starting point is 00:40:52 because she fucked up his wedding. So I feel like that she needs to cut it right back but still keep a little bit of it and learn how it can be fun rather than being fully addictive. I think she should just stay the issues. I mean, she's going to die if she carries on the way she is. She said that she was taking tablets like she was given at a vet. Well, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I guess we'll see. And you allot will have to see too. Yes. So it's available now to watch on Sky Comedy. Episodes drop weekly from the 7th of December. Lovely Christmas little watch. An easy, lovely Christmas watch. Perfect for the party season.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Yes. Where everyone's addictive personalities come out. Speaking of Christmas parties, how is your Christmas party? Was it last night or like before? It was Friday night. It was actually really good. I forgot I did that. We went to the Corinthian and had a meal there and then just stayed there all night, obviously.
Starting point is 00:41:42 The food was quite shit, to be honest, but I'm not really that bored about food. In that situation, I'm just drinking, you know. Yeah. But what's quite a nice thing, I suppose, a bit awkward for people like me, but quite nice, is they sit you random. So, like, our work don't give a table plan. Oh, so we didn't hire out the Corinthian? No, we did.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Oh. I mean, like, within our work, because all the warehouse staff are there. and obviously all the teams are there so they don't sit you with like your teamering they just let the Corinthian put the names down randomly interesting so I was next to like a couple of directors
Starting point is 00:42:13 in the company but it was actually like quite good because you don't really get to speak to them much and they're not like big like serious like people do you know obviously they've got a serious job but everyone in there's quite fun and like whatever show was quite good and then after that we just were all up dancing all night however I went down to the toilet
Starting point is 00:42:28 and I know we spoke about the Abba thing previously have I don't listen to it on the daily but it did come on and I was just in the toilet and I had to do a quick and run up there and get involved that meme they got tagged in no that was me and see when I was running back up that's what I was thinking about that meme
Starting point is 00:42:44 it's basically a meme of like a door completely mangled in half and it just says when you're in the toilet and you hear the Abbas on God that was actually me I was like starting to sell out and then ran upstairs so that was a buzz and then afterwards we actually just went down into the
Starting point is 00:43:01 You know, there's like a club under, kind of thing. We went down into there. Is it still a casino under there or not? It was giving me more just club vibes. I'm not sure if the casino part is still there, but that is the area that is the casino, so not sure. I think it changed, in it, I don't know. And then I got a taxi home.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I was home just after two, so actually not too bad. But I did that thing where Jason was up for coming and picking me and one of my friends up. And then... It got too late. It was like... It was like, 12-ish. And at that point, I was like, I'm no done.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Like, I want to go downstairs and blah, blah, blah. But then at, like, one, I was like, the past ever wasn't worth this situation and now when you try to get a taxi. You know, like that always happens. Yeah. And I couldn't actually even find Lisa, so I just went in a taxi on my own. I fell asleep in it.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Then I made some toast to that one again. Did you piss your bed? No, I actually didn't, thankfully. Someone actually said to me one of my friends, Amy, said, we don't see drunk Zoe very often and I was like, I must get a glass of water. Oh. I don't like being drunk at these things.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I know. Like, I like feeling a bit merry, you know. Like, you're having a good time and you're still drinking and all that. But the fear of a work night out, there's nothing worse than that. Yeah, what you've done. Nothing worse. What I will say is I actually do really miss weak work parties.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Obviously, I don't have them. And then COVID was picking about for quite a while and I was in an office job. Well, your last few years of working really was cold. I never had a work party where you were. No. Obviously it didn't happen. What I was thinking, right, was that maybe in a year's time,
Starting point is 00:44:19 we can have a work party for the podcast and invite everyone. How good would that be? A big work party night out. Sounds great. And we can have like live band. You can have a human. Mongas karaoke screen. Gee can be there with like the Stig helmet on
Starting point is 00:44:34 so no one knows who he is. And then we can have like all of our listeners, the best food people there. I'm obviously not cooking. We'll have all like the best food people there. I think we should hire one of the places that's like... Bohemia in Edinburgh. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:44:48 With all the drag queens. I would love that. Not just a, it's not like a blank room. It's like an actual place or you know like I'm thinking of that Carl Rowley Castle whatever is off. That's quite far away. But something like that. Well, I'm thinking of premiums,
Starting point is 00:45:01 so we're thinking of a castle. Wow, budget. No, I don't mean a castle. I mean like, like, so it's like different areas. It's more, it's as if you're in someone's big house, but obviously it's none of our houses. It's a big house party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:11 And we will bring these white box cocktails with us. Everyone will get wreck. Like a big gaff. Big gaff. A lot on your plate gaff. That would be amazing. Let's do that. Okay, we'll see you all there.
Starting point is 00:45:22 She's like, well, I'm not coming, but, you know. Yeah, so let's plan that. Would you actually not come, gee? Well, you're not coming on our work lunch today. You need to make it like a live Christmas podcast party so you can do like a podcast but then invite you to come watch it live but then have a party at the same time.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Yes. We're giving away all our secrets here. Yes. But I really want like, oh my God, imagine like a big country band and we could have like, oh, it would be so good because we could make it so good. We've got a whole year to plan it.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Okay. But then by then you might have loads of listeners. No, just do techety, not fast or last. Yeah, no, I'm really excited about that. Same let's do it. We'll get planning. And anyone else in the same boat as me that doesn't, you know, you can't go to work parties.
Starting point is 00:45:59 this can be your work night out It's going to be mine Oh, that's cute, work party for people who don't have a real job You bitch Right Moving fucking on Anyway, we asked you guys
Starting point is 00:46:18 to tell us any funny work stories you've got about work party stories So let's see what we've got Guy I worked with No, I would be dead if this happened to me Guy I worked with said he could see my nipple piercing through my top so I just whipped my tits right out and it's when went, there you go. She was because she was pissed?
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah, she said I was so drunk. Oh no. I wouldn't need to quit my job if I'd done something like that, unfortunately. I love hearing the scandal. Getting so drunk, my boss had to take my dress off for me and put me to bed. Was that a male or female? I know I need to know that. I reckon that was a male.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Which is saying, is that kind of, is that concerning? I mean, maybe a bit, actually. I'd just let them sleep in the dress. I would rather sleep in the most uncut. I would rather sleep in a dress that was like made from nails than have someone take that off me. Sorry. I dipped a fake floppy.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I dipped a fake floppy wheelie and ice cream and, oh my God, sorry, I got me to say. I dipped a fake floppy willy and ice cream and shoved it in my new manager's face. Oh my God. Why did they have a floppy? Willie with them. And it must have just been a prop.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Went for dins and someone was so mad with it that they started literally licking the plate clean. That is something I would do. That is. Oh no. I kissed one of the operations managers in my work. Back at work found out he was married, has a child and the icing on the cake.
Starting point is 00:47:43 His wife also works with us too. No. This is a problem. People get drunk and get a bit familiar with each other. Yes. And it's actually not okay to go with someone in your work. Is that right? Or like it is if you make it,
Starting point is 00:47:56 Like you make it a thing, like you tell people your work that it's a thing. Yeah. But it shouldn't be like happening with no knowledge. I know. I mean, I've got a fair few friends that are run off with their boss. I know you're listening. Drop my bag in front of the CEO and a quarter bottle of Glenn's vodka fell out of it. I bet you was impressed by that.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Oh my God, no. Drunk girl did a bridge. That's what I was just going to do. You read it though. You can't. Drunk girl did a bridge. What would you describe that as that? A back bend.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yeah, like that thing and go back. on the dance store and both boobs popped out of her strapped with dress. You know, that's funny as well, because you're sort of trapped. What would you do? You'd just be like, it would be flopping all over the place. Oh no, I could never. I'd have to hand him a P-45, whatever fucking else. Someone said spend a good amount of the night drunk bitching about my manager to a woman.
Starting point is 00:48:52 The woman was his wife. No. You would die. Anyway, the most exciting part. Are you ready? Are you ready to rumble? Christmas Raffle. Gee's actually got a proper little production here.
