Starting point is 00:01:05 Welcome back, guys. We still sat in the same spot. This is part two of last week's episodes. Because it was so good. Relationship-focused, stedys. Stairies. Because it was so freaking good. Okay, right, let's get straight into it.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Fucking go for it, hen. So. Knock your shell out, hen. On you go. So, my name. My ex-boyfriend at the time went to a wedding in Cyprus. He went on a night out with the groom. The bridesmaid and her husband had started sending me Snapchat's.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Then sent me a Snapchat of him kissing the brisemate multiple times while her husband looked on. Weird. I ended it, but he asked me to meet and chat when he came home from holiday. And I did. He went to show me the video again on his phone because he didn't think to see him there was anything wrong with it. And while he did, he managed.
Starting point is 00:01:59 to click on a screenshot of his grinder accounts. What? So had a grinder account and winching the bribes made while her husband watched on, even weirder. Then my dog died and he sent me flowers. Weird because I don't even know how he knew my dog was dead because I blocked him on everything. What a fucking weirdo.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Imagine trying to claim your innocent and then accidentally clicking on your grinder account. Folk are fucking weird, by the way. So if anyone doesn't know what Grindr is, it's the same as Tinder, but it's for men? The world is a scary place. For men and men only? The world is a scary place.
Starting point is 00:02:43 I think it's for men and men only. I could be wrong there. Right, next. I had reserved a house with my boyfriend of two years, then one day decided to go through his Apple Watch. By the way, you forget about the Apple Watch? This is, by the way, I think I may have read this one. and this got me thinking.
Starting point is 00:03:03 To find out he was sleeping with prostitutes begging and begging them to meet him. He had been sleeping with multiple girls whilst working away and texting his ex-girlfriend saying he knew he was still in love with her. When I pulled him up, he said someone had stole his phone and sent the text. Sure.
Starting point is 00:03:21 You see all that through an Apple Watch? I think I've said this before but I forget about that. So apparently, if you message, I message on your phone it still comes through your Apple Watch but if you delete it on your phone it will not delete on your Apple Watch or your iPad I could be wrong with the iPad
Starting point is 00:03:38 but the Apple Watch is there so this is not a hint to be sneaky but either check your man's Apple Watch or delete your messages off your Apple Watch for all the girls out there that does still do still check their man's phone it's the watch you need to be checking
Starting point is 00:03:55 when I was 21 I'm 29 now and in a very happy relationship. My boyfriend of five years who'd also been my best friend since we were 13 started to act really weird. During the day when he was at work, I could never reach him, my messages wouldn't send through it
Starting point is 00:04:09 and my calls wouldn't go through. He told me he just had no signal at work and I believed him, loll. Anyway, one evening I went on to Snapchat, loll again. And he'd posted a story which was obviously a mistake as it was him recording his bedroom
Starting point is 00:04:24 with a girl sat on his bed with no pants on. Snapchat is a dangerous place by me I was horrified I tried calling him but again couldn't get through so I ended up calling his mum to ask her to get him to call me she absolutely adored me
Starting point is 00:04:38 and she wasn't home but said she would ask him to he called me completely oblivious to the Snapchat story because I'd asked who the girl was and he was stunned had no idea what to say so hung up I remember being so angry I felt like going round his house and throwing a bit through his front window I was blinded with rage anyway
Starting point is 00:04:55 turned out he'd been with her a month they worked together which made sense of why he would block my number during the day so I couldn't reach him when her and I eventually spoke she said that he told her I was his crazy ex-girlfriend who wouldn't leave him alone madness oh and top it all off I found out that same week that I was also pregnant with his child oh my god my ex-boyfriend told me he was going on holiday with a few work pals a while later and some digging it seems he was on holiday with the work pal his other girlfriend all perfect away visiting her dad nice there was picks of them holding hands at wine tasting he still had the cheek to deny it i find it funny now as it was years ago
Starting point is 00:05:44 but i wasn't laughing at the time as i was a wee dafty i thought he was hot and obviously took him back because i believed his shit and he'd done it again and again and again yes i'm a fanny we've all done it love but it only fucked me up for a couple of years as well Sorry about the long messages Love, love, love the pod Also won't know if this is read out for a while As I'm still catching up currently just starting season four So I am almost there
Starting point is 00:06:12 All the best and keep smashing it Aw, there's so many people that are real above a hand That's exciting for them Because I've got harnished ketchup And then when you've caught up You then go on Patreon and you realise you've got About how many episodes is on there Fuck knows
Starting point is 00:06:26 The same is what there is for everyone else Jesus Christ Honestly there are so many twists and terns in my last relationship And the one minute voice note on here Wouldn't even cover it We've been separated for closer two years And she's still attempting all sorts of nonsense
Starting point is 00:06:44 Oh god This is one of our lovely male pod pigs by the way You'd need a spin-off pod for it I'll maybe send it You guys for entertainment when I'm drunk Not to be shared on the pod if I ever do that, though. Can't promise anything.
Starting point is 00:07:00 The secret's safe with us. My friend, despite us trying to warn him not to, had planned to go visit his then-girlfriend and love of his life in Australia. Long journey. It was clear to us all she had met somebody but was off, but off he went to chase after love. He got there and she went silent on him.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Fucking out, imagine going all that way. All that way to be fucking patched, no bother. With nowhere to stay and no clue where she stayed, He went to the pub. Heartbroken and phoned in us to tell us what we already knew. He finally saw the light and accepted she was seeing someone else. He decided he was getting drunk and would just enjoy a holiday in Australia. See you.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Good on you. The barmaid felt sorry for him. Right. And they got wasted and ended up in a hotel for a wild night of drunken sex. The next day she wakes up and she's gone with a note to call her. His girlfriend finally calls him and says she needs to speak to him straight away and tell him something. Oh my God. Offie Trot, still wasted after his wild night of passion
Starting point is 00:08:03 and already knowing what was coming. Gets to the door, nervously waiting for her to answer and the barmaid from the night before it stood at the door. Wait what? Puzzled as at, what? Puzzled as fuck at how he's managed to find her, the questioning begins as why he had turned into a stalker. What?
Starting point is 00:08:28 His girlfriend appears already shitting herself as she's about to tell him she's engaged to some Australian hunk and should never have let him come, but is now confused as fuck trying to work out why her flatmate and Scottish boyfriend seemed to know each other so well. No way! A quickly concocted story about him being chucked out the bar
Starting point is 00:08:51 for being too drunk was believed and in he went for the bad news. I'd love to say he stayed, had the time of his life but he was back home in a week miserable as fuck sorry but that is iconic that is like a film I love that shit
Starting point is 00:09:06 that's a shame we came home heart broke no at least I get a good shag out I know you've got a wild nut of passion mate yehaw makes the journey a wee bit more worth it I hope oh my god I cannot cope right funny funny funny
Starting point is 00:09:22 someone's wrote here I've just paused the podcast because I feel compelled to tell you who I think Jess looks like. Honestly, when I say I've had about 10 of these messages. We've bought the can of worms here. I've always thought she looked like the actress called Laura Holly Akeman. She plays Smithy's girlfriend in the last Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey. And she also had her own CBB show called The Misty Show, which I watched when I was 11.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I'm sure this is complimentary, lol. Unsure about Zoe, we'll think on that one. Someone told me that I looked like the women on white chicks. Thankfully not white chicks, but you know the two evil. sisters, but the one with the short-cropped hair. I can't think of her much detail. Is she from Sweet Valley High or something? I can't get over the one from last week's episode of the woman
Starting point is 00:10:09 going in bedroom with her boss. I know. One time my best friend found out her ex was cheating, so we got on the train to his and egged his flat. Had round the corner and waited for him to come out and then egged him too. I quite like the egging. What do we think about Egan at this age?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Funny as fuck. I think I'm going to sell do it. Yeah. So we slept together on our first date. He then turned around after one and a half years and living together and said he couldn't look at me the same because I did that. Someone's been watching too much Andrew Tate shit on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:10:50 He's now bold and has two train spotting tattoos. I just put three big cards. And he understands why it took my year and a half. Because that is giving that he's watched some sort of shit online where they put women down and he then believes it and then he's gone around and looked at his girlfriend differently. Oh, that Andrew takes, spouts all that shit online as well.
Starting point is 00:11:19 How your woman needs to be in the kitchen and she needs to be a virgin and all that nonsense. Fucking weirdo. you're better without him had a threesome with an ex and his stepdad what sorry
Starting point is 00:11:34 a threesome with your boyfriend at the time wasn't an ex at the time obviously and his stepdad what did they do together I want to know no no
Starting point is 00:11:52 did they touch Boop Boop No, that's enough Oh Right I don't need any more on that one Thank you
Starting point is 00:12:07 Oh I do Send it What was that noise I was that noise I was trying to I would even laugh Is that a girl Oh
Starting point is 00:12:21 Oh fucking out Oh, told me how, first date told me how much gravy to pour on my roast and tried to steal the waiters tipped. What the fuck? He was on Tinder while in bed next to me. How? How?
Starting point is 00:12:41 She's now happily engaged, thank God. No, but how are you lying next to someone in doing that? And he was her boyfriend, by the way. It wasn't just like a... A wee shag. A wee shag? We shag. I just don't get it.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I don't know either said the wrong name during sex I wonder how many times that's happened fucking hell by the way I've fought it when you had sex I actually don't think I have I have I have been there's been times
Starting point is 00:13:09 where I'm like I'm touching go aware that it could come out so I'm actively not allowing it to but if I happen would be gone game over
Starting point is 00:13:23 I'd be single Oh, my goodness. Here's a good laugh, girls. It was a fairly new relationship six months, but he was older and never fucking shut up about how much he wanted to marry me, including telling his mom this.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Then I get the, hey girl, messages, and the cunt got himself caught on Hinge by using a pick of me and him at his own sister's baby shower as his main picture on Hinge. The fucking cheek, P.S., love you super iconic legends.
Starting point is 00:13:51 freak freak freak another one here found out he'd been sleeping with prostitutes while we were together he's now an ex
Starting point is 00:14:01 I've I have heard that quite a lot of times do you think they think it's better because it's like you're supposed to be
Starting point is 00:14:11 having sex with him I know you're not supposed because you're in a relationship but it's almost like do you get what I mean by that because there's no emotional attachment to them so you're basically paying them
Starting point is 00:14:21 service possibly but I don't understand what you get from them that you can't get from your woman no I know I mean I don't agree with it but I think guys have some weird back-to-front logic that they think the fact that it's not like a just a person they've made out or whatever yeah I agree thing they think it's not as bad but it's worse I think people can also get quite addicted to it can't they and the other downside to it especially if you're in a relationship is the money that's being used for the sex workers is maybe something that you're saving for together or you're not contributing to something
Starting point is 00:14:56 because you're, you know, a bit hard up this month not knowing that you've actually spent your money on a prostitute. But we actually are friends with a prostitute. We are. A sex worker who I'd love to get on the pod one day. But, yeah, some of the stories she tells us are, majority of the people she has sex with are married men. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Married men and very wealthy married men, some that actually no longer have sex with their wife, and it's like a mutual sort of agreement. Yeah, like it's a non-thing that it's happening. Because they're so wealthy, it's like the wife is just happy to live off the money. I don't get it. I don't get it. I always wonder if she'll ever have that pretty woman experience. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Somebody walking in and it's like, Richard here. Yes, please. I know. I wonder if they ever fall in love with the person that's paid them to have sex. Surely there's about that out there. There must be. Yeah. When I was in L.A., by the way, we drove through Compton,
Starting point is 00:16:09 and I could not believe how many prostitutes there were walking. Straight out of Compton. Straight out of Compton. And they were all walking around in, the little tiny thin string stuff and like you know the perspex platform bills i was like slay by the way and all fear parks it was like that was their catwalk Compton high street it was like absolutely slay the day away honestly the fact they can walk up with those heels on is and have to say me up but also it's extremely sad than the next part as well and but yeah i just thought
Starting point is 00:16:39 that's another wild isn't it and trace the one i'd like snow more i would love to name more i know we had Amelia Ron where we spoke about like the life of an online dominatrix but I'm genuinely am interested in the in the sex industry everybody is absolutely everybody is interested because it's such a taboo we should get her on if she only if she will I think we did ask and she said she would need to be anonymous but that's fine maybe we could make her voice sound like that and no one would know who she is fair yeah right shame because she's absolutely gorgeous I know anywho boyfriend fingered me wearing magic gloves because he didn't want to get his hands dirty.
Starting point is 00:17:23 One extreme to the other. Anyone get any comments on that one? That reminds me, that's the sort of shit you do if you were a male. Right. Right. You've been getting your hand sanitizer out before and your little magic glove on. You would, Zoe. That is giving you.
Starting point is 00:17:39 It's giving germophobe. But I'm all here for a bit of avoiding germs and all that, but I don't want a pair of gloves. I wonder what these magic gloves are I wonder if they're ribbed No magic gloves are usually Just black gloves That you can touch your phone with That's what magic gloves are
Starting point is 00:17:57 Oh I just thought he was just saying They were like These are magic gloves No I think it was just Basically a pair of knitted gloves I wouldn't want that inside me That's what I mean
Starting point is 00:18:06 That's giving thrush The fact And dryness No but what I meant is If he was doing it Because he obviously was A bit of a I don't know
Starting point is 00:18:16 he got the ick of some sort about genitals. You don't like spitting stuff, you know? No, I don't. You know how Molly kept licking her finger and put in my ear? Wet Willys. I hate stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:18:26 No, I do agree with you. Or see, if you, like, pretended you were going to get him like a kiss and she'd then licked it? I hate that. Yeah. I don't like that either, really. That is a bit gross.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Also, who, why do you want, why do people want to lick something? No. I have so much to say about it. One night's stand. X reported him as a missing person as he was meant to pick the kids up in that morning. Yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Oh. Where was he? Shag and her? Oh! Sorry, I didn't click on. This girl's having a one-night stand. The guy's not turned up to pick his kids up from school. Well, in the morning to take him to school.
Starting point is 00:19:12 And the fucking ex has reported him as a missing person. Oh my God. It's pretty dramatic, in it? Pretty dramatic. Stuck a finger up, his bum and got poo under my acrylic nail, never again on both counts. No. I just want to explain that to your nail tech.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Peed myself in his car. Sober, I was only 18, didn't even have the excuse of kids. Driving down to the borders, not my fault, there wasn't fecking toilets to stop at. And that was the first dating. Can he pee or she on the car, the way then you saw it. No, you can't.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Passed out after having sex and had to have his parents go and rescue me. No. First time doing bits at 17 and squeezed his boss, thinking that's what you done. That would hurt. Not actually in the relationship, but my ex was sleeping
Starting point is 00:20:07 with my best friend for seven months after we broke up. Whilst he was trying to sleep with me again, I only found out because you couldn't stop telling people. That's sheate. What? Oh my God, listen to this. X cheated on me with five women and lived with one.
Starting point is 00:20:27 He told one I was bipolar and was in a car crash, so that was the reason he had to keep on seeing me. What? Oh my God! What, so he was making out his eff like, she needed him? Yeah. No, that's sec. Oh, my.

Starting point is 00:23:36 That yeah My mum wants that after you By the way So there's a hook up the arshall But don't you want to read it Yeah but I'll give it to mum first Because that one's silent patient at my Kindle I'm not loving it, I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Stick with it. I know I will. Stick with it. It is good. Did you buy me a Kindle yesterday, Rich? Mm-hmm. Oh, have you got any space for adversity fitness? This is just the Patreon Piggy's, by the way.

New Year, New Year, new me and all that, everyone gets to do you tea? They say start it before Christmas, don't they? Do you know what I will say about people that want to get into the gym
Starting point is 00:24:10 and they feel it quite daunting? Mm-hmm. I would say the best advice. ever that I was given and I did was actually go and get a PT just for one or two once a week or twice learn the basics, learn how
Starting point is 00:24:24 to actually use the equipment and build your confidence that way and then if you feel ready to leave them which you most of the time you sleep. Then fuck them off I didn't mean like that rich but I mean if you're a full beginner. Come to me for three sessions learn some stuff and then do that. No I didn't mean it like that. I didn't mean it like that and then if you
Starting point is 00:24:44 really don't want to go into a JD gym or a pure gym, walk in there, waste your money, walking, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Get a PT, still keep you, and then join the gym, and then you can do the program for them in the gym, and they feel confident. It's a good idea for people to have a plan. A lot of people going to the gym and just do one, things they like. Yeah. And don't do anything new, which doesn't really help your body adapt.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Stop looking into my soul, whilst you're saying that. So I always think it's good that you should follow something. Like, I follow a program. I could quite easily program for myself but I only program things that I like and I'm good at and the stuff that I do is stuff I don't
Starting point is 00:25:19 not necessarily like that much but want to get better at basically I mean I knew what to do at the gym but in flexion you don't lift anywhere near the weight that you could be lifting on your own yeah that's what you said didn't you that you feel right
Starting point is 00:25:30 having a PT pushes you more than what you do on your own you also stay consistent because you've run out of excuses too yeah every day I think of what could I say and no excuse is valid enough
Starting point is 00:25:42 so they just have to go. It's like accountability, isn't it, you're paying for as well? Yeah. Interesting. Right, we've got a few more dilemmas. Let's read them out to you. Let's start with Black Friday sales pressures because we've got a few of these.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Christmas overwhelm, feeling the Black Friday sales pressures, everyone's telling you how organised they are for Christmas. Can you please piss off? Socialising pressure at this time of year. It just can't be asked. I want to sit at home and rot on the sofa. What would? you say to this
Starting point is 00:26:13 I've not bought one Christmas present apart from something for you stop yep I've actually got two things for you one's a small thing for the both of you actually and one thing's quite a big thing for you
Starting point is 00:26:30 what? Not big in size but big in appreciation and value fuck but only because I saw it And I know you like it. Oh my God, is it a bag? Not that big. That's all I bought them.
Starting point is 00:26:49 What do I want? Nothing. I want for nothing. I've not. Black Friday usually I do kind of make a good dent and a good start and my Christmas shopping. But I just don't know what to get anyone this year. And all I wanted was a dog. And I said that yesterday and my mum was like, same. Is that what you've got each other then?
Starting point is 00:27:08 Well, not really, but we did both pay for her. So I'm like, Maybe it could be. Yeah, you should do that. Yeah. My mom's got us the dishwasher. Oh yeah. Do you know what I meant to mention,
Starting point is 00:27:20 Jason, I actually said yesterday just to let you know I was going to get you a dog for your sentence. Fuck. He was like... I take his away, though. I did see that. Two fucking years, mate.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And he was like, yeah, I know, but he was like, my plan was to get you a dog for you steady. There's no reason why he can't. Yeah, I know. There's no reason why you can have another one. Yeah. But I thought that's cute
Starting point is 00:27:39 and I just ruined it. A few more things we've got to mention on a Christmas list that I thought was a great Christmas idea was an electric blanket I need one of them you can get me that
Starting point is 00:27:47 all right if you need an idea you can get at that walking pad oh yes that's a great gift I know it's expensive but you can get them
Starting point is 00:27:57 for 200 quid I think it's not a great gift I know ours sits there and does nothing but for some people that don't want to get out and some people take real big benefits from walking pads
Starting point is 00:28:06 yeah and my mum was asked for a Garmin watch actually but I know we said that one on the list but she's in total. Is that like the other version of an Apple Watch sort of thing? Yeah, because she doesn't have an iPhone.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Oh, yeah. Good point, actually. Annoyingly, Richard's decided to be born tomorrow, which is so annoying. Oh, my God, it's your birthday tomorrow. Yeah, don't worry about that. You know, I've not got you a card. But I've got everything else,
Starting point is 00:28:28 and I've done well, I think. But the things that I've bought you, I feel like are little bits for Christmas. So it's always the same case for me. I buy it and ball both, and then I have to split them. Yeah. This would be good for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:28:43 So I'm trying to decide now which to give you to which. At least you get someone who really doesn't get a fuck. Is it anything that I... Would benefit between now and Christmas. Not anything I asked for. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:55 That's good then because I don't like things. I don't know what I'm dressed in. Yeah, you don't like... If someone buys me clothes, I'll... You don't like... You need to pick your own things. I'll be honest with you. You're really hard to buy for in that sense
Starting point is 00:29:09 because you've got such a unique... sense of style and stuff and like I know it's your thing so it's more so like if you picked that t-shirt but it had a wee black square on the arm you wouldn't like it yeah so I feel like I'm sorted for him so I've got some good presents but our gift guide
Starting point is 00:29:24 idea really helped us and we've had a few people asking if we can make it into a digital guide or make it our Amazon shop so but to be honest with you guys since we did that episode we've had no time at all to do that we'll make sure next year we'll have a real cool guide for you guys because
Starting point is 00:29:40 it's too much and we understand you needed a pen and paper for that episode but people got some good ideas from it and sort of it. I just don't know
Starting point is 00:29:48 what we would do that but we can think about it for next year I suppose so anyway back to the social pressures and all that stuff do you know what you're the same as everybody else
Starting point is 00:29:59 everyone worries this time of year of those sort of things as well it's just overwhelming isn't it? I find myself on Friday actually scrolling through social media to see if I saw anyone post about a good deal
Starting point is 00:30:09 and I'm like, if I'm doing that, I quite clearly don't need something. Yeah. My mum's out of my south. Search for the thing that I want and need. Does anyone else have the problem when they want something and they've got money to spend? They can't find anything. But then when you've got no money, you're like,
Starting point is 00:30:22 I better not really spend yet. Everything comes up. I'm like that when we're going Zara. Yeah. Yeah. A prime mark. When you need an outfit, you can't find one, but if you don't, you see 100 or stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Dill-Dally. Black Friday as well. You feel as you have to get something because you're getting it cheap when really you don't really want it. I feel that so much. I buy so much out. I got a top-up of this. The exact same sentence is Summer Friday's lip mint balm, by the way.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Because it was discounting the spacing cable, like it's not ran outing, but I just thought, we'll get a wee top-up. Yeah. So I feel like that's okay because I like it. But I only did it because I've got a million lip-bams. If that run out, I would have just used other ones. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:59 My sister Zara is 16 in a few weeks again, December birthday. And then Ella, and I asked them both, what do they want for Christmas? And they've both said they want for nothing. I'm like, I swear when I was your age, I went loud But I feel like I was a brat then My mom will probably agree See, when you had all your big group of friends at school And they all asked her and you'd put everything on your list
Starting point is 00:31:17 And you'd be like going through your thing Looking for like, almost like ticking it off on your head And I remember I was not ungrateful But I probably seemed it at the time But that's like, you don't realise it But it's the social pressure as your pals at school Yeah And it's shite for your parents
Starting point is 00:31:32 I text I was like, do you want drunk elephant stuff? Glossier, talk, I was trying to think of, like, cool brands, like, that she'd be in three. And she was like, nah, but you know what she asked for? She went, I would like to try and smell the K-L-E-L-I, it's Huda Beauty's scent. You'd have seen it in boots. And she says she wants that, and it was expensive. So I've just got the discovery set of that.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And some Sol de Janeiro shampoo and conditioner. Because my step-mom said that she keeps stealing her nice stuff, so I thought I'll get at that. But folk will have Sol de Janeiro sprees, don't they? And it was still expensive for the gift set. The cane a second, maybe, but... Yeah, it's a bit sickly scent. But anyway, next, I'll ever. There's quite a lot of baby stuff here.
Starting point is 00:32:15 A lot of people finding out they're pregnant. Found out I'm pregnant and I'm constantly worrying. Roll on Sunday the 8th of my reassurance scan. Honey, I feel you. Rich, what was I like? Worried. Worried. Worry.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And anxiety through the roof until you have that first scan. So I don't have any advice for you because I was the same. But it's totally normal. I think most people are from what you hear. Yeah. Someone else found out I was pregnant and any tips for hiding, not drinking, Jess, over the busiest month. Oh, bad time of year. If it was me, I would go out and just say I'm drinking and then do people then ask you?
Starting point is 00:32:48 I'd be like, yeah, can I go to the bar and I go, can I just have a vodka soda lime? And then not sip it and then go back to the bar and be like, can I just have, it's a bit too strong, can I just have soda and lime, please? You could even ask one of the barmaids or bar guys, bartenders. Yeah. Yeah, bartender How's it go? Bartender You can even say
Starting point is 00:33:13 if you just catch them Even after that one drink that they've gave you alcohol Just say like listen Anytime they ask Would you mind just not Because you could tell them Couldn't you don't know
Starting point is 00:33:22 You know I said about doing We were going somewhere with you And I said I could always go up and tell It was at the pub When we were in Leicester The Griffin in
Starting point is 00:33:30 Oh yeah I said I could always go up and say I mean it's ridiculous You'd need to do this but there's just life. Do you know when you're in the toilet and then you see the back of the side in the female toilets
Starting point is 00:33:38 and there's a name that you need to say to the barman if you feel like you're in danger? There should be a name, university that we say, in a bar to the barman. Then the women that you're with would know. Tough one. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:33:51 scrap that idea. Okay, so this lets us actually go to a dilemma. Advice on getting over a six-month situation ship. He ended it and I am so sad. Love you so much. Just to let you both know, situation ship is the new sort of
Starting point is 00:34:06 in phrase of seeing someone shagging right would you say that I would say more seeing someone yeah shagging you're just shagging seeing someone you're maybe like doing things
Starting point is 00:34:21 that kind of lead up to getting in a relationship with someone yeah like going on actual dates and stuff yeah okay firstly you're going to get over it right now it feels sore as a bitch because we all feel that way especially when you really like someone, and they ended it.
Starting point is 00:34:36 The ball was in their court, you feel like shit. But you all get over it. My biggest advice is, and my biggest gripe, don't start posting on social media loads of shit, like selfies. Of course, and that. Yeah, please, I beg, I beg you not, don't do that. To get, I mean, maybe you can answer this, Rich more. But when a woman does that, it's quite obvious, isn't it,
Starting point is 00:35:00 that they are trying to get your attention, would you say? Yeah, he's probably not looking either. True. But I would say, you do you, don't continue in your own lane and maybe just stay a bit silent and they will probably come back. And by the time they come back,
Starting point is 00:35:21 you're like, I'm not asked me about you anyway. Yeah, I know. It's a good month for it as well. You'd be out and partying and doing different things. You'll meet different people. Yeah, keeping your mind busy. Good distractions.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I just think honestly, see, we're speaking to someone you don't hear from them for a few hours or you know that when you're not interested you do that to them so you recognise behaviour when it's getting done to you it's just the worst. No.
Starting point is 00:35:45 It's not really about to me, obviously. However. I'm archived. And you're trying to your relationship. Archived, man. I'm muted. No phone call gets answered, nothing. That's why I keep you on you two, love.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I agree I just want to know what I'm buying from the shop I'm in a few don't get a reply I am terrible with that but I do also think when you've been dumped or whatever you look at the small things
Starting point is 00:36:13 that people are doing in relationships and poor romanticise it and you're like that's all I want but then people in relationships would love to just go home their shelf at night put their feet up and not have to care about someone else but you need to find like the in between
Starting point is 00:36:27 and not trying deep the feelings Do you know what I mean? Yeah. And also six months in a situation ship as well. I'm sorry, but I would want that to be a relationship by that point. I don't know. You need some trial and error periods. Six months.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Zoe. Jesus. Nah. Some football managers don't get six months. See, I'm sorry. If I'm shagging someone for six months and they're the only person that I'm sleeping with, or whatever, this situation ship is, it's probably a bit more deep than just that. I would need a bit more commitment.
Starting point is 00:36:58 it's more than I'm just not into people sleeping with more than one person at the same time and that's probably what he was doing if you're dating them too yeah you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:37:08 you've got more than one situation shit going on yeah I don't want to be like one of few people no one of your group that's what I think it was good about me
Starting point is 00:37:17 and you Rich was I know this was 10 years ago so it's so that different but at the start I didn't really want to like commit to you because obviously
Starting point is 00:37:26 you need to have that period of where you're just chatting and stealthy and you know and saying you'll probably chat to other girls as well like it's not to the point where you actually make it official that it's just you too but with you there was no gameplay and it was like if I text you I got a text back
Starting point is 00:37:39 probably helped as well that we didn't we didn't live close to each other yes the distance was quite good the answer to your question is honey you're going to be fine you do you I probably don't chase him do not chase him you well look nice it God fuck no and this is the time where
Starting point is 00:37:53 like Rich says it's the best time to be dumped because you're going to be around all of your people that love you, your friends and family, get yourself glam. Get yourself out. Exactly. Good one. Leaving yourself some money there, love. And fuck him.
Starting point is 00:38:09 You're going into the new year where you're not going to be wasting your time and you're going to meet someone who loves you and deserves you. And if you does come calling back and that's what you want, then fair enough, I wish you're the best. I hope you kick him down. Oh, yeah. Any final words, Rich? Gang, gang, baby. You've never said that in your entire life.
Starting point is 00:38:30 I just wanted to feel like Theo Von. Theon. Anyway, I'd like to see my pup. Oh, Cookie. I'm away to see my kitten, Winnie. And Wilson. Okay, thanks for lessons always. Thanks, guys.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Bye. Bye. See you see you soon. Bye.
