I'm feeling okay now that I'm up and about It's when you initially wake up and open your eyes In the heavy head, I can't cope with that But we're here, I've made it On a Sunday shift, what you've been up to then? What have I been up to? Have I saw you since I was in London? No.

So I went to London last weekend with work But I had quite a lot of free time So I met up with Molly who is our friend who lives there And we went to see Wicked Oh yes, so you did Which I've seen before but like, exactly exactly 10 years ago and it was just better than I ever remember. Really?

It was so good. And I was just looking at everyone on the stage thinking, how worse that was me? It's expensive then to get last minute tickets? Well, it depends where you want to sit, obviously, but we sat basically right down at the front, so it's like 60 quid a ticket. That's not bad, isn't it?

You just get online or go to the... Yeah, there's like a... Molly sorted it, but there's an actual website that gives you like last day, like on the day tickets. Oh, that's brilliant. Yeah. I love the theatre. It was so good.

I could go to theatre. every week. Yeah. It's my favourite hobby. I love it. Yeah. So that's really what I've been up to also went to that Maya for dinner. Is that what that called? Oh yeah. That was really nice. On the Hoxton Hotel rooftop. Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. That was really nice. Love that. Um, and then yeah, apart from that, I've not really been doing much else. What have you been up to? So I was starting to feel really, it wasn't I on the last podcast. You can still sort of hear it in my voice, but I was, don't know what happened to me guys. Honestly, it wiped me out. There was one night I was lying in bed thinking, this is it, it's over.

I felt so tragic. I think it was the flu of some sort. And then I had to go down to Leicester to my auntie's wedding, which was great. I wore an actual Kiwi and Kerr little number, did you see? Yeah, the netted one. Yeah. Lovely. Because I actually bought that for Ibiza, because it's sort of like a knitted material, isn't it?

And I thought, oh, I never got a chance to wear it. So then I put an oversized black blazer with it, and it looked really cute. Well, I said me the picture, didn't I? Yeah, I would never think to do that till way. but it was really nice. Yeah. Like it was a blazer and stuff that really... And it kind of sucked you right in,

so I really enjoyed wearing that. I had quite a lot of compliments. So you can check it on the website. I think they have it in black as well, the opposite colour way. Oh, like black with white rather than white with black. I think that's bought the new collection they've bought out. They've got like a little longer middy dress

and a shorter middy dress. So cute. Yeah, so I loved wearing that. That was really nice. And then I was actually meant to go to Manchester for an event on the Friday, so go from Lester to Manchester, but Queenie died on.

Thursday evening so all the events were cancelled which I was quite happy about to be honest obviously not about the Queen but just about the fact I can come back because I needed my bed so I've had quite a chilled weekend give you a bit of chelting yeah and then tomorrow I'm off on this road trip around Scotland it is called the Creer 450 which is going to rival the NC 500 it is a gifted trip and I'm taking a friend and I'm just going to go around for nine days and stay in all the different places like Auburn, Glencoe, Inverness. I'm really looking forward to actually. When I did the NC 500, I was in a camper van, but this is actually really nice, five-star hotels. Yeah, this is like luxury style. Yeah, and you were invited to this sauce. I was, I was, but

it's a better time at work. Can't take it off? So I'm doing that, but I'm actually picking up after this podcast recording an electric car for the week. So I am an Arnold Clark ambassador, and they are giving me... Ooh, I'm expensive. I have to say it, no, don't. And they are giving me an electric car for the week which may be quite entertaining because you know what I'm like I can't you're the worst driver don't tell him this no my life is flashing before my eyes every time I'm in the car with you I am pretty bad like that time you were going round around about with a can't of coke in your hands I can't like me and carry we're like can you put that cat down

I think I was hung over that day was like yeah so I'm picking up I think it's a kea don't know what the model is cool but I'll see it after this but luckily there are electric charging points at each hotel so hopefully I won't break down well can you please remember to charge it because you don't charge anything else don't charge my phone nothing so yeah I'm looking forward to that

see this is what I'm up to tomorrow so I need to go home and pack as well because I'm going to be doing Benevis I'm having a really healthy nice nine days of exploring the lovely Scotland how what's compared Benevis to something well I take the tourist route there's different obviously routes

you can take up it. I would say it's pretty easy. I know that might sound ridiculous, but the thing what I will say is it's just long and you need to have good weather. Weather depending on any hiking, if it's a shit day, it's not enjoyable whatsoever.

I don't care what anyone says. Don't hike when it rains. It's just not nice. Yeah. So if it's a clear day, which I'm hoping, it's not too bad, but when I did it back in 2019,

my knees, bastard, they were sore, so coming back down, I hated it. So is it more like a pathway rather than, like, climbing up? Oh, yeah. It's a little bit of scrambling at the top, but it's actually probably,

one of the easiest Munroes that I've done right because I've only done Ben-Anne yeah which is hard by way steep that's like mountain climbing yeah I would say Ben-an is probably one of not the hardest because it's quite quick but the steepness of it is tough because I hadn't really

ever done one like that before so I expected the pathway yeah and obviously you do have it at points but see when I was then having to climb and obviously I'm quite short so those bits that I'm like I was actually having to hike my leg away only up to my head to get myself up Have you done in Monroe before?

Don't Ben Lomond? No. Ben Ann's only. That's not a Monroe. It's not a hill. So for anyone here that isn't sure what Monroe is, I believe it is a mountain in Scotland that is above 900 and something metres. I think Ben-Anne's just under it. Yeah, it will be.

But I don't really know if that kind of stuff's for me. I want it to be, but I'm not sure it is. I think I would rather just a big park and just walk around that. But the feeling of accomplishment when you get to the top, and it's a nice day, it is pretty good. Well, when I did Ben and it was actually too nice, it was like... Was it hot? Yeah.

So that made it like I was just in a pool of sweat constantly. Anyway, anyways, on this week's pod we're going to talk about phobias. We are. In a lighthearted sense. Just things that you just highly dislike, slightly scared of. Yep, maybe keep you out a bit. Yep. I'll start by telling you one of mine.

The thing that keeps me out the most is pulling down the table on an airplane. What? You know the little table you haven't found me with a car. clip yeah pulling that down on a train as well see if you're on a train to London you're pulling down that well what you're expecting to be behind it well you don't know like I'm not expecting someone to jump out of me but see when you pull that down there's crumbs or something on it or like something wet that honestly sends me wet like who's been here what is that from see when I do it I do it like so slow and then I let it fall and I'm like speaking over to make sure there's

nothing on it and if i've got any sort of wipes on me i'll be trust me i'll be wiping that down that that i just think you know when like you're on a train as well and there's like crumbs in like yeah the cracks in the seat like see all that and like you just don't know where the crumbs have come from was it like a cheese and onion sandwich or was it like crisps or was it oh no that's something that's quite good one actually you know i had that tell me yours well as we all know i'm a freak so i do not like spiders i know that's quite a generic phobia but it has got to the point now where I'll tell you where it may be started so I have really bad dreams and it happens this time of year actually it's upcoming September spider season and I get it for around three to four

months where I am I don't think it's called sleep um not sweet sleep apnea what is it called where yeah where I'm awake and I'm in my I'm in my bed and I can so vividly see the things so much so that I am so convinced that they are there that Richard has to calm me down for a good 10 minutes before I realized, okay, maybe it was a dream. But I see them crawling all over me, all the time, like hundreds of them over there, flies, spiders. Oh, God, it's just tragic. But anyway, one time last year, gives me the fucking heaped jeeps even thinking about it. I was, just had a shower and I was naked, okay?

So I'm in my spare bedroom, naked, and the door knocks, I shit you not. I took the dressing gown off the back of the door, and I heard a thud. it was a boom and I was like what the fuck was that but because the door just rang I had to put my dressing gown on quick

I put my arms through the sleeves the spider tarantula whatever the fuck it was a dinosaur fell out the dressing gown sleeve

it thudded on the thing the T-Rex was literally crawling across the floor in spare bedrooms I then was screaming my postman

bless his soul was at the door like is everything okay in there Jess and I'm like no and then I then run to the

door with the dressing gown, I'm like, absolutely sweating. Like, I can't, just give me my post because this spider is running loose in my spare bedroom. Thank God I have my cats, but even the cats, they shout themselves, they were like, no, no, no, no. We're not. You remember the video of it? It was, I kid you not, it was massive.

And still to this day now, I shake my dressing gown sleeve. These trainers that I've got on today, I haven't wore them for a few months. They're in a cupboard where, I say, like a sort of old flat, so there's lots of holes everywhere. Yeah, that seems me. There's, I'm shaking my shoes every second that I can if I time I go in the shoe cupboard.

It's an actual point now where there's nothing I can do. Towers that are folded up in my bathroom and I have to shake them out. Yeah, shake them as well. It is, you know, it's ruined my life. So that is a big thing for me. And now I spoke about it on this podcast.

I'm going to dream about it all night. What did you end up doing with that spider? Well, I tried to get Owen because he's a bit more braver than Wilson. And I tried to get Owen, you know, just to attack. So we were sort of like playing with it a bit, but it was too big for them. They were like, no.

I don't want them to kill it, No, I'm like I'll stamp on it. Oh no, I couldn't do that, I don't think. I'll hit it with like anything I can hit it with. I'm not like put under a cup, put it back outside thing. Oh no, I did do that. No, you're dead. Yeah, I put it under a plant pot and then I put a bit of paper

but I had to get rich to do that because there's no chance I could go near it. But so I was at my mum's other night and she was doing this but I obviously saw the spider and then went and told my mum. Yeah, I'm not dealing with it. And when she was putting her back outside, my brother said that do you know they're actually house spiders? so when you're putting it back out, it's going to die anyway. Okay.

Just kill it. All the vegans out there are absolutely cursing you. But then, does anyone like a spider? No, they do not. I really don't like spiders either, but see if it's not that big, I can grab a bit of toilet roll and clench up and then flush out away. Yeah. Like, I could probably cope better than that.

I would say while we're on the subject of death of sort of animals and insects, I know the sort of phobia of mine is, you know when we're driving on the road and you see roadkill, right. I have to put my, not cover my eyes, obviously I'm driving, but I do have to look the other way. I don't want to, at the moment I know what it was, it upsets me too much. So I have to just be like, oh, do, do do do, do you hopefully it wasn't a cat.

It's like, you know, when you're looking and you can still see at the corner of your eye, but you're just pretending you can't, you're looking straight ahead, that's the same thing. Ignorance is bliss. I just, see when I used to drive to work every day on the M8, there used to be them all the time, but they'd be there for days. Yeah. You're like, why is no one coming in and picking that up? but then I'm like, should I be phoned so I want to tell them?

I wouldn't be doing that. Getting you spayed out your boot, like a serial killer. No, there's a service. Oh, is there? There's a professional service that goes and picks up dead animals. I'm not putting the fox in my boot. You're coming home with me. Happy for dinner.

Yummy. So, yeah, so this week we asked you guys what Fabia's you had, and there's some interesting ones. Quite a lot of food ones as well, isn't there? Yeah, there's a lot of food ones. Do you know what's really common? that people have wrote in cotton wool. Yeah, what's that about?

Is it not the cotton wool buds, the balls, the... Like, I would say it's like the balls or the pads. And is it like the noise? Mm-hmm. The squeaky. Because it's kind of like a scrappy, squeaky noise, isn't it? I know a lot of people that don't like that. But then I'm like, but it's just like fluffy cloud.

How can you not like it? Like, I love using that on my face. Yeah, me too. What do you use if you don't use that? A bit of toilet roll. Probably there's soap and water. Nah, weird. Yeah, loads of people.

they say it's like the noise of it yeah okay I get that things like um you know like white boards scratching noises when your teeth make that weird noise oh like the kind of chalkboard thing it's like the scraping on it that's probably that sort of strange sensation

that they don't like okay I get that and what's that other thing that makes you know when you open up a delivery and you've got that white cardboard polystyreth someone's wrote in about that as well the polystyrene the noise make making my teeth go funny

and how it like crumbles it's like I'm really like squeak. Yeah, just like that. Here's one that I can relate to wet hair, not attached to your head, especially at swimming pools. Like, so you know when you see you're at the pool

and there's like bits of hair lying about what's to call wet and stuck to the tiles. No, that is minging. That's another thing that I hate when you find hair somewhere. Yeah. Especially if I find a long dark hair. I'm like, that doesn't belong to my head.

And obviously, Jason's short hair. So where does that come from in the flats? I go soon. Oh, who is it? Jason So he's like I'm laughing but he's fucking dead

when I get home Okay cats I'm terrified of them fuck off There's a lot of people that are scared of cats But no one's scared of my babies

I used to be quite scared of cats because I get really scratched by mom when I was younger Like on my stomach Yeah Like it was like scratching away at me Like quite vicious

But then some dogs can be the same Yes Very true Cats tend to do be a little bit more sassy, so they are a bit more like, I don't like you. Dogs are. When you get a nasty dog though, that's far worse than a nasty cat. Well, so a cat doesn't bite, yeah, it's just more like, do cats bite? Yeah, of course they do. But they're more scratchy. Yeah, it's more scratchy where there's a dog bite and they would scare me more. Yeah, and the dog would have to be put down

as well. Now, we need to talk about this one because I've only really been made aware of this phobia since TikTok and it's, I don't know how you pronounce it, but is it tripophobia? Holes. Oh, the whole one. I don't know what the name. is. There, I think it is, it's T-R-Y-P-O-phobia. There are so many of this and it's things such as, well, anything with holes in, but things like crumpets. Spongies. Spongies, yeah. I wonder how they feel about those people that squeeze spots because some people like that. They find that quite satisfied, don't they? Obviously that still holes in your face. I think, you know, you see the video sometimes that is as if like it's all over, like the person's covered in it. I think

it would have the same effect because it does kind of look that way, like see if it's, you know, you see them all, it's all blackheads. But what, I need to understand what is it about that that they don't like? It's just like the way the texture looks, I think. Then I'm looking at this microphone and I'm like, that's kind of like, that kind of, holy look. Yeah, interesting. I'd like to know a little bit more about that.

So if anyone has that phobia, I need to know what it is that freaks you out about it. Yeah, it's a very common thing. Is it like a claustrophobic sort of feeling maybe of getting lost in these holes? What if I've fallen in this hole in the counter? Okay, well, there's so many of them, so many people saying holes. Lotus pods are the worst. What are they? Is that a flower?

What's a lotus pod? I don't know what that is. Oh, yeah, so it is some sort of flower. Yeah, they are freaky though. They're like all aliens. Oh, no, yeah. I do can't know what you mean. That is freaky.

So is that what that looks like before? Oh, so I was right, yeah, isn't the pond? Someone's put clusters of holes like a crumpet. It sends me a dark place for a few hours. How mental? That's because you're going into the hole. yes and at the dark hole

moths they are the worst yeah they are and when you look at them the fluffy ones when you're trying to get them up close to get them and then you see all the details

horrible marangs yeah now there's a few of this about meringue we're talking about the actual egg white food chewy meringue yeah confused about that as well

I think that'll be a texture thing because see if you think about it see if you touch that it has a weird texture on the outside then it just crumbles then it's soft and then chewy Oh, the truth is the bit's the best bit

It is the best bit This I can relate to things between toes Like finger and a belly button Towel material between teeth Like see like things between the towel I hate the feeling of Sometimes even if I'm just lying in bed at night And I can feel my other toes

Touching my other toes I'm like ugh Really? Yeah then I start overthinking my toes No That's just a good one as well When you're talking about toes When you're going into the sea

And things like seaweed And you only get a bit of wet hair Wrap round while you're tearing a swimming back No, I could be sick everywhere If someone's hair was wrapped around my foot That is disgusting, isn't it? Oh, this is actually making me feel a bit sick This whole podcast

Random, but I have a serious phobia of condensation Especially if it's on a car window Never heard that before? I have to honestly have this feeling It's a sense of being trapped All these holes and weightness Yeah, and comfortableness You know, like putting on a wet sock and things

like that, it just makes you feel, makes you feel ill, doesn't it? Yeah. Now, there's a lot of people, which I'm highly offended, with a phobia of crisps. The dust on the fingers of crisps, what's it orange dust, just people not even even being able to touch the packet of crisps. You were telling me that Jason has a phobia of crisps.

Yeah, Jason's phobia is crisps. He hates that people get, like, the crumbs on their fingers, and then, like, wipe it on their trousers, or then suck their fingers. When I say I'm like, see, if I was eating a packet of hula hoops, best believe I'm putting that on the finger. Yeah. Getting right in the corner of the bag as well and getting the dust.

Yeah. And like doing that thing, we straight in the bag and chuck it into your mouth, all the crumbs. And then when you've got wotsets it, you get your fingernails, you just flick it all out your teeth. Oh, right. Don't tell me you don't do that. How else do you get it out?

Suck it. I don't know. But I think cheap, like the smelly's cheapest crisp are the best. Like what? Monster Munch. Yes. Pickled onion Monster Munch. Or, like, Space Raiders.

Yeah. Do you like Tangy Toms? Yep, love them. They're great crisps. We need to have like a pyramid of crisps. We all know my top tier crisps are the co-op, salt and vinegar, chardony, crisps. You're definitely getting a bit of chisping that.

Texture-wise, potentially, flavor, I could disagree. But beef hula hoops are up there. That's my favourite crisps. Yeah, they're great. Pickle on your monsomunch. Yeah. Like anything that's tangy and vinegary. What are those ones you have up here that are Scottish?

And they're really, really strong. And you have them, they've been like a space raider sort of thing. Hold on, bear with me. I'm going to Google it. There, golden cross. Them. Never seen them in my life. What?

Hold on. Golden Cross, crisps. And they bring them out, they have them in the red flavor, which are unreal. Them. Yeah, I've seen them, but I've always thought it was like

that supermarket's like shit version of them. No. Do you know what I mean? So, anyway, back to the podcast. I've now had to Google this crisp They are called Golden Cross Crisps The pickled onion rings and the Johnny spicy rings

are unbelievable flavour wise So they are up there for me But I've discovered them since living in Scotland And they are really good I'm gonna bring us a pack next to the podcast actually Chisps is what I would like all the time when I'm hung over I would like a share bag

of specific Tesco's own salt and vinegar like swills Yeah? Oh like well they have like the bacon mash as ones, those type. Yeah, yeah. Like that really makes me feel better. Yeah, they're good. But I can't eat them in the flat because Jason's got a fobby of crisps. Bizarre. I have a phobia of balloons popping. That's probably quite popular, isn't yeah? It's a bang, the noise. I've got a friend that has a phobia of these as well. She can't sit next to me when we're eating them, but it's baked beans. And there's another

girl that I know that has a real phobia of sweet corn. I love both of them. Yeah, they can't be near you if you're eating them. A lot of people don't like food that comes out the way it goes in. Yeah, like it's fake cornwork, doesn't die, doesn't break it down. and you actually shits out a whole corn. If you do sweet corn and then you would look at your pudding, probably a bit of sweet corn in it. Do you know what else makes your wee stink, asparagus? Mm-hmm.

And sugar puffs. Sugar puffs. Sugar puffs make your wee stink. Honestly, try it. Coffee as well, does that not make your peat? Yeah, it makes it strong. This is baffling me this one. How round a black pudding is.

Yeah, I saw that. What? Obviously it's cut like that. It's obviously just put into what is black pudding. We don't need to discuss what black pudding is. Same as haggis. Mushrooms. We both have the same feeling with mushrooms.

I wouldn't say mine's a phobia, but I just genuinely do not like the taste, the smell, the texture. I don't mind seeing them raw in the shop. I'm not like, ah, get away from me. But I really, really strongly dislike mushrooms. Even if I see them in the shop, I would be like, oh. Like, I do really hate them.

I just don't understand it. There's things that I know I don't like, but I can understand why other people like them. mushrooms is just not one of them yeah birds specifically their feet the sight of them freak me out they have weird feet don't they little web toes yeah

my friend Louise has a really really really bad phobia pigeons like specifically pigeons what when you go out in town and everyone's feeding them when they fly away yeah like she'll kind of like cuddle into you and like hold on you and be like oh my god it's right there it's right there it's right there like genuinely has a fobair of it oh that's awful yeah they're not nice though are they yeah and they're everywhere just like flying rats I'm always just looking at them

I'm like, it could poo on me at any point Jason's actually wrote folk eating chris and soaking their fingers sucking drinking milk in someone else's house what's that all about? I don't know maybe they're scared in cases off

yeah yeah yeah yeah okay the people who pretend to be statues on the street they terrified me oh we'll have to cross the road that is a weird thing because do you not always sometimes they look so real yeah grown men on electric scooters commuting to work it's sinister

that's more of an ick real real men ride women not bikes did you just come up with her no it's a thing people say oh is it scraping food that's left on your plate into the bin the noise yeah but it's also just seeing all like your little leftover bits like see especially if you're like if I'm eating any sort of meat there's definitely like be bits that'll leave and then it's all just that horrible bits left on your plate going into the bin

Or like I've got one of the flappy can have bin lids and see if that then shuts and it goes on the lid instead of the bin Yeah and then you have to wipe that bit off That's just Or do you know what another one that's horrible, the food in the sink When it collects in the plug and you have to get your fingers and pick it out That's horrible My mum was one of those people where she just

You know this must be a chef thing maybe But you know if you had a plate and there was no fork She would literally use a hand and wipe it off the plate into the bin And then she'd put a hand in the sink and take it all And just like no no problem No that's horrible Honestly, we know she's odd. Things like the deep water, the sea.

I think that's... It's the unknown, isn't it, of what's below? That freaks you out. I can't write in blue pen. It has to be black pen only. That's a bit OCD to me. Yeah. What about this one?

And I think this is quite like... You can relate to this. I don't know why, but I have a strange phobia of what I call brown money, i.e. coppers. Literally the spies touching them. I'm not a fan of coins in general, but specifically those ones. It's just so dirty, that's why. So like, what's that?

Like two pensies. Yeah. And they're all brown. They look like rusty. Yeah. What's the same look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves? Or is it the other way around?

Never heard that before? You've never heard that? No. I have a fear of vigorously repeating patterns. You know like pure ziggy-jaggy zigzags, et cetera. Ziggy-jaggy zigzags. Ziggy zigzags. My God, people are weird.

That's like a kind of, you know, that thing that you see, is it not like the kind of hypnotizing thing and it's the black and white spiral and it goes from like bigger to smaller. That is quite creepy that. That is creepy. Not weird, but quite a few of these as well. Sharks, photos of them, videos of them, the thought of them. They are terrifying.

Richard's phobia's sharks. I kind of have my head that sharks aren't real. I don't know why. Because you've never seen one. Yeah, like I know they are real, right? But I'm never in the sea thinking, oh, there might be a shark in here, but there will be, just not close to me. Do you not just think that would be the worst way to die?

Yeah, because you would feel everything about. it. Oh shit. Like you would feel like the fear of it happening, the actual process of it getting you, then the pain of it like biting into it before you actually... Imagine being still alive in its stomach. Yeah, I know, before you actually die.

I always think that if you get eaten by a big blue whale and it eats your whole, are you just like churning its stomach acid? Like, woo! You're on the whale's acid, like, purport it. But what is... Are you just like slowly disintegrating from its stomach acid like, ah!

And then maybe you'll just get plopped right back out. I'd be another side. I would love to know what would happen. Surely you'd melt in there. It just freaks me out. Because when you see it in like films and stuff, it just goes over your whole body, yeah. I would love to know.

I'm thinking about the better and like finding Nemo or whatever and they get put into like a whale's stomach and they're just like swimming in there like do-to-do. By the way, talking to that, have you seen the Little Mermaid trailer come out? That's my favourite Disney film, The Little Mermaid. When I heard that song at the end, I was in tears watching the trailer on my phone.

She's got such a good voice. I think you were having a bad day. Honestly, I just, I love it. And also there's a Mephasa film coming out from the... Mufasa. It's the guy. Who's that again? Not the guy.

The Lion and Lion King. Oh, yeah, I saw that. It's been some sort of like Disney Expo or something going on. Yeah, there's an actual thing that they're making, like, all the classics, human. Oh, real life. Yeah, but there's some that I'm like, I just don't think you should do it with. Right, what? I don't know.

Like, some are just such classics. I'm like, don't mess around with it, just leave it with it. Yeah. You know that way. Being pregnant, pregnant women and giving birth gives me ultimate fear. Hun, I feel you. Yeah, I agree. Totally agree.

I just really, I know this is just life and it's science right, but I just cannot go over that someone else grows inside someone else. And then you push it out. And then their life has begun. I was actually saying this to Chloe, a friend of mine yesterday. I was doing some hip thrusts and the bar was touching my bladder. And I said to what, I really don't like this sensation. I don't like anything sort of like, apart from the obvious,

but I don't like anything touching that area and it gives me the ick and she was like what are you going to do when you have to have a baby I'm like this is the thing I'm so terrified of something a living inside me and then pushing it out

I think the thing for me is if you felt them kicking inside and you're you know when like the stomach moves with the footprint there's like the foot's kicking it I know we should all be sitting there thinking this is beautiful but it's just not I'm not at that stage I'm just not

we're not are we also the worst thing about something touching your bladders when your bladder's full. Do you know what I mean? And it pushes against that sensation, that's horrible. Sorry, Jay. Gee, we want to ask you a question now. We want to know what your phobia is

because I've heard it's one thing. Gee apparently has a phobia of children with face paints. Is this true? Absolutely. It's absolute worst. Like, if you get your face paint, don't come near your knee. Don't even approach me.

I've got a six-year-old. Never had his face paint. Indeed, nor will he ever have his face to indeed. Really? But do you find it scary? No, I'm scared. You're scared of the children if you are, aren't you? No, I just, there's no need.

Like, you're not a tiger, you're six. And what else is in other phobia? Do you actually have a genuine phobia? Actually, just based on what you did before we started doing this. Voice notes, don't send me a voice note. Really? I'm not opening that ever. Really?

Really. 100% Jenna tried to send me a voice note last week I was like that's the last cut that now we'll know that then for our group chat I know

do it in the gym all the time and send me voice out so I'm not opening it really? It's like phone me like that's normal okay so you don't mind a phone call then

don't send me a mini podcast for me to listen to yeah there's quite a lot of people that don't like voice notes I don't like I'm not a massive lover of them like I do find them much easier

I'll do it if it's like see if it's going to be a really long text or whatever and he explain something I'll do it but I find it quite annoying getting them when you're not in a position to listen and then I'm like I can't reply to you now. Yeah, that's true actually. I can listen to this. I just think he's weird sitting listening to somebody like talked to the word they were talking to themselves essentially and then

now you know you're asking it. That is funny actually. Yeah. You even messaged me the day. I need to speak to Zoe about some things last week and I was like can I ring you and you were like, is everything okay? I was like I just think it's going to be easier just for me to call you okay? I mean I don't really speak on the phone to any of my friends as much anymore because you just see them more whereas when I was younger anytime I wasn't doing anything

I was on the phone to my pals or like on FaceTime to them but even when I did that you've never really been one for doing that no like on the phone so I'm always like and then you accidentally phone me again I was like I know I kept calling you it was a bit weird

I was like I didn't mean to call you again I think I did it three times you did like shit I think I was reading something in our chat I was referring to something and I kept pressing WhatsApp go it's too easy on WhatsApp seeing someone phone the group chat and we're all like you're a loser strong calling us. What is going on?

Someone is scared of multi-pack crisps now, bloody hell. Noise of indicators and noises of air come. I have to have my air diffuser on at night to sleep. I don't know if you feel like you need to have some sort of noise to sleep. I sleep with a fan on. Yeah. But I used to, that came from Jason sleeping with a fan on. And at the start, I hated it.

Because I was like, it's so noisy, but you just get so used to it. And now it does feel so silent without it. Yeah. Maybe it refers back to the similar. we're saying about brown noise, I think having some sort of motion noise kind of sets you to sleep or calms you or can do the opposite and people need sheer silence and darkness. Yeah, people love like complete silence and complete darkness. I don't even need the moment would be pitch black either, don't you sleep?

I actually prefer if it's not pitch black. Yeah, same actually. Like see that, sleep with an eye mask on? I can't think of anything worse. I can't do that either. There's a lot of other things like people that are scared of coleslaw, onions, sandpaper, bananas. Someone's scared of street cleaners

Now is that the actual poor guy With the brush or does it mean the machine That's the two brushes that are circulate Do you know what I think it's like the machine And then like the guy Because they have them yeah like pushing it Yeah okay you can get that I think it's gonna like suck you up

Yeah mold If I see it on bread or instantly throw up That is gross though Like when I come back off holiday I say to Richard like Is this a fucking science lab mate Because everything in my cupboard Has mould on it

Like do you not And do you not see this blue fur in that packet? You don't say fur. It is literally blue fur. I'm like, what is wrong with you? Yeah, that's horrible. And this is the guy that loves to hoover and claims that I'm untidy, but... I poured out after I came back from holiday,

because I just didn't think the same about oat milk. I poured it out into the sink, because, you know, you're supposed to drink it within however many days. Yeah. But it's only me that drinks it, so I leave it for longer. And like, wee bits came out as well. What, and the oat milk? It was horrible. Freaked me right out.

Oh, no. We lumps. Filled pasta. or donuts and then it popping in your mouth actually gives me the chills and the fear. That's kind of like, you know, tomatoes, do that like I hate tomatoes. Someone's got a fear of people or animals being sick. That's not nice, is it, when you hear people retching. Boys who wear vests.

Wearing long pyjamas to bed, I actually feel suffocated and claustrophobic with the heat. I can't sleep naked, can you? No, I wear pajamas every night. Yeah, me too. Quite like you for a long. I actually get the fear if I do sleep, I get, have an awful night's sleep if I sleep naked. Awful. I would just never sleep naked.

I always have pyjamas on. That's like my favourite part of my night's put my jammies on. Do you have long pyjamas or shorts and top? Both. But I prefer long trousers because I think shorts are quite uncomfortable. They get all like twisted and stuff for the night. I do really wish I could be like one of those like sexy girls where I come in like, night, I have a little lacy underwear but I'm like wearing a big flucking fluffy onesie.

Like night babe. I've got like my Disney jammies on. Yeah. Oh, bless us. Mashed potato. I can't even wash someone else's plate with tiny bits of. if it left on. What?

Mash potatoes one of the best kinds of people. Elite foods and chicken on the bone I know a few people that I like that. Fish, frogs and feet

all the Fs. My boyfriend is scared of sour cream. It's so infuriating. I love a sour cream dip. Yeah, me too. See it's sweet chili sensations crisps

and a sour cream dip. Oh, that's the best. Sweet chili sensations? Yeah, they're good. Naked pregnant bellies and they've put four sick faces. It's because of belly bun. pops out. That kind of freaks me out a bit.

Oh, I think they're quite cute. The smells after you've cooked, lingering. I hate that. I can't stand it. Now, I've had a few people message to me before saying, what sort of candle melts do you use after you cook, and I've never done that. I just leave the window open and then put the fan on. Do you light a candle after you cook? Yeah, always do, but it doesn't help.

Like, it doesn't really take the smell away. And then I also, my mindset is then I'm like a magicist disguising it. Like, where does the smell come from? Is there something like unclean somewhere? Yeah, I think it's supposed to cook fish. things like that or spices yeah this is why you need an air friar even cooking like chicken with a season

and that really languish it's almost like the burnt smell of it yeah I hate that and anything like it's on your clothes yeah your whole house stinks onions is the worst I can't stand that okay well that is all the phobias I think from this week if you have any more you can let us know

I'm really really hope this hasn't set any of you off with new phobias or if I had to switch the podcast off because it's creeping you out I think I've got a few new phobias after that to be fair yeah I do too everything freaks me out now we are going to run through what has been a lot on somebody's plate. We've had so many. Thank you so much for sharing your

dilemmas with us, but we're going to have to pick one for this episode, a physical and emotional one. So somebody is 30 years old and they have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We're really sorry to hear that. And she has wanted us to share. It goes without saying how important it is for you guys to check yourselves, check your boobies, and also make sure you have your smear tests as well. That's so super important. I think I've had now three smear tests, have one at 25 and then another one I think I had to have another one when I thought there was something going on now there. Have you had a smear test? Yeah I only had my first one last year when I was 25 because they changed it from being 21 to 25 like on the year. Did they? That you meant to

happen. Yeah it was like my year was cut off yeah for 25 yeah but I didn't really dread it because like I've had examination stuff down there before because of my urine situation yeah but people do and it's literally over within like five settings. That's probably a good thing. It's the easiest process ever like don't put it off because you're scared of doing it. Because I think that probably ties in quite nicely so I think a lot of people do have sort of phobias with things like that that are going on they don't want to get themselves checked up or they have this fear that I mean ultimately you are going in there to a stranger and spreading your legs it isn't nice it can be quite daunting but I promise you it's literally over within seconds these nurses are so

good they do it every single day and it's in and out and you're like oh okay it's a slightly uncomfortable feeling but it's nothing out of the ordinary at all yeah it's not sore like it's not painful and these people are doing it every single day so they they're not like examining your bits and judging them. Not at all. I'm sure they've seen much worse. Yes. And also checking your boobs. I think there's quite a lot of, is it copperfield charity?

They show you how you can properly check. Another thing I don't really like pressing and doing things like that either, but I definitely think it is, I do it maybe every couple months if I'm in the shower or something. Yeah, I'm not really the best of doing that either. I need to be better at that. Yeah. But I'm the same. I don't really like the feeling of it.

It's quite like a, what's the word, like sensitive area? Like I don't really like it if anyone says to me, oh, can you just feel that air. have I got a little lump there or look at this scratched and I'm like oh no no I don't want to see it yeah I am a bit like that can I keep sure yeah so yes girls check your boobs and get your smear yes thank you and good night now what has been on some people's physical plate or your friend abby wrote whipped feta and honey dip you had that last night with her didn't you yeah that was unbelievable did she make it yeah she saw it on tick to amazing she did it but it was so good it was like feta

I think there was got cream cheese in it. Chili, honey, and honestly, see, and we had like a toasted baguette cut up into thin bits and see dipping that in. No wonder I felt dodgy this morning. I'm not supposed to eat dairy. No, you're not. Everyone should try that.

It was unbelievable. I'm in Ibiza, all the food, only deep breaths after Thursday. There's another, actually, there is another emotional on your plate. And this person has said, they're feeling a little bit lost. Their friends are really shit. And I kind of feel like I need to move abroad and have a fresh start. What is your advice?

Go on wise and wonderful Zoe, what would you say? I would just say go. Go abroad and have a fresh start. Pack your bags and get there. You feel so much better. Yeah. But also if your friends are shit, then tell them that. Why?

Like, why are they being shit? Yeah, why are they being shit? I always felt like this when I was younger. I feel like I was always in a place where I never knew if what I was doing at that moment in time was the right thing to do. But I always had cold feet in the sense of wanting to travel and go abroad. and that's one thing I will say at the age of coming up to 32, although I've been very lucky enough in my job and now being able to travel a lot more of a bit more freedom,

being able to actually be like a backpacker or travel and move abroad is something I do really wish I did. Yeah, I'm the same. And I think that although I don't regret anything, I do feel like if you're thinking about doing it, do it, especially now everything with COVID is sort of passed. If that is something that's on your mind, anyone out there that's listening, I would definitely suggest doing it

because you never want to look back and wish that you did something. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. So I think that and get some new friends, girl, because they sound vague of shit. Couldn't be our friend. Well, I'm going to do a spit and swallow for Jess. Yay! So get ready.

I said to say, I was like, where did you get this inspiration for your spit or splenishment? I don't know, I just found two things in my house that I thought I could just give you. So this is going to be interesting. Right, shut your eyes. Sorry, it's not, it's not anything really bad, is it? No. Zoe, am I going to vomit? No.

No, gee. Is it blue cheese and fish oil or something? Doie? What? Can you calm yourself down please? I'm really scared. Oh, what is it? Right, ready?

Open white. Oh no. Open your mouth. Open. This is a favour of mine. Can you open your mouth? Doi. What the fuck is that?

Banana and brown sauce. It's like a big shit in my mouth. Oh my god. Was that nice? No! What I will say is I like vinegary things It took me about four bites

To work out what it was I could tell it was brown sauce That's a good one that And also the banana's a bit done Yeah it was soft Anyway thanks for that Zoe That was wonderful Payback
