Woo!
Well, this is us, Jess.
We're back, and it's season two.
Have you all missed us?
Because we've really missed you.
A bit rusty this morning.
Yeah, we're a bit rusty.
It took us 10 minutes to get into that.
But we're here on a Saturday.
Lovely day outside as well.
We're really excited what's to come this season.
We have 20 episodes and potentially maybe we have some bonus episodes coming.
We have some amazing guests lined up.
And just lots more exciting things, but we're going to keep it quiet for now.
We're not giving too much away.
We need to keep you on your toes, you know.
So, we've got a lot to catch up on, haven't we, Zoe?
I mean, I feel like we don't really want to talk about Christmas and New Year
because I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but it gives me the raging ick.
I just think January's over as well, so that all happened your year, how's your Christmas chat?
Yeah, it needs to end.
But, I mean, I hope you all had a great time.
Yeah, me too.
From the 27th of December, I looked at my tree and I was like, that needs to come down.
It needs to go.
Everything had to be gone.
Richard was delighted.
Yeah, I'm a bit like that as well.
Yeah, fresh start, felt good.
What else have you been up to?
Well, quite a quiet, Jan.
You know, we did go to London for New Year.
Oh yeah, we had a great time, didn't we?
We forgot about that.
And then the next day I was question all of our decisions.
And I was thinking one night down, is it worth it?
But then once I was home, it was worth it.
And I had to, had to, God help me.
I had to fly to the Maldives the next day.
It was awful.
But no, I had the best time ever.
I don't want to talk too much about that.
But yeah, I did swim with the sharks.
No great wife.
I was definitely exaggerating on that part
but it was a life-changing trip
and you're here and you're alive
I'm alive, yeah
I post all about it on my Instagram
but it was a wonderful trip
and I have drank alcohol now
I wasn't gonna do dry Jan
but when I got to the Maldives
I didn't realize it was a dry country
so I was like fuck
yeah I didn't know that either
and what a buzzkill
if you were planning going there for a rare time
I know but I thought you know what
I'm going to embrace this
and it was fantastic
and then I decided not to drink till Jan
And I've just been trying to get back into a routine, as we all do, getting more healthy, eating better, getting, you know, exercising regularly.
And I feel slightly better.
But, you know, me and me and Zohm holiday tomorrow, so let the booze commence.
You've really went from one life-threatening trip to another?
Yes.
At this stage.
I've got my insurance.
I opted to 20 million, you know, the max, just in case.
20 million?
20 million.
I've not got my insurance yet.
I still need to get it.
It still let me forget.
No, you need to get that.
Because anyone who doesn't get insurance starts.
something will happen.
We're going to skiing tomorrow
if we haven't said that before.
We're going to Valdez there in France.
Me and Zos are having a little sleep over tonight.
Very fancy us.
Everyone I say that I'm going there,
they're like, oh.
Well, it's crossed as an arm and an leg.
But where we're staying,
it actually looks like somewhere
the Kardashians would stay, wouldn't it?
No, I actually think it is.
I really hope it looks like the pictures.
I know, same.
It will.
I hope so.
There's 11 of us going,
and they're all my friends.
CEO of getting everyone together.
Yeah, you're the common denominator here,
which is quite concerning.
for everyone involved
and then Heather who booked all of the travel
decided to tell us yesterday
and the group chat that the last time she booked travel
she booked one less flight
she did that's correct
so how was this allowed
how did this happen? I don't know
I really don't know but what I will say is
I've got an itinerary everything
seems pretty worryingly seamless
so far
I would have to agree with you there
and as scatty as I am the one thing I'm okay at
is organising group things and holidays
But I think that's because you really enjoy doing it.
So you've got like the patience to research, restaurants, research what you're meant to do.
I don't have the patience for that.
No.
So yeah, I've sent out the itinerary.
Everyone approved.
Everyone that's going to pretty, we're all laid back.
Yeah, I feel like everyone is quite easy going.
Yeah, we're roomies, aren't we?
We are, me and you and Holly.
What's the beds?
I've been wondering about this.
The bed situation?
Yeah, because you've got fishy pants.
I've got fishy pants.
I've got fishy pants.
I'm going to guess that Holly has.
Had's had, Pissue Pants in the past
From the vibe she gives me of being also chaotic
No, no, no, she's not at all
No, she will be looking down at us
If we did that.
So I'll be talking three single beds
I'll be talking like a massive bed that three of us sleep in.
I reckon it's going to be a double bed
And a single in our room
And everyone else has got a double.
Okay, well I'll take the single.
Okay, fabulous.
I also get up to pee a lot during the night
And that is quite frustrating for whoever I'm sleeping with.
Yes, waking us up.
And you and Holly can get like weirdly close.
So what else have you been up to?
I went a nice over.
night. Oh yeah, where was that again? The Gales Hotel at St. Irvin. Oh yeah. With a nice
far. I've been a couple times before but we got a voucher for Christmas so just went
there and just had a love of time. Yeah that looks lovely. Very chill, took the fire stick,
watched her programmes. Oh lovely. So we just had to put some money towards it and that was us.
And actually all I've been doing I think. Yeah. Well obviously we've had her skiing lessons.
Yeah, which Zoe is phenomenal. Honestly, picked it right up. Well I had skied at school obviously but I
don't really remember, I couldn't even remember how you actually put the ski boots on or put
the ski on but as soon as I had them on I was fine. Yeah. And you hate that lift thing. I hate
the lift. No, it's not the lift, it's like the conveyor belt. Conveyor belt. G's back
everyone. G is a pro skier. So, obviously. Where did you used to work again? A ski?
I never worked. Jenna did. Genad did? Well, Couchavelle, France. Cocherelle, France, the posh one.
but they've got the dry slopes in Belle Houston, is it?
Bella Houston.
It's the one where you have to get your ski on it,
then it's like, there's no barriers or nothing.
Like the travelator thing.
Yeah.
G, heart attack every time I try to go on it.
I don't, I don't get that.
I'm dreading them, but I just feel like the gondolas
and the one that you, what is that called?
I don't know about that's the worst.
The one you kind of set on.
Whatever it is called.
Just stick that between your legs and on you go.
But I quite like that.
Yeah, but I don't know.
I wish you could sit on it more.
Yes.
Not try, you know.
But I wish you could take your weight and you didn't have to.
Because see if then, see when it's pulling someone else,
kind of goes a bit slow and you think,
fuck me, I love that.
But then most of it's going to be the chairs, isn't it?
I think, honestly, if we can practice on,
I've been skiing before, as have you,
but I feel like if all the girls that haven't been,
because we're kind of all similar levels,
which is probably a good thing.
Yeah.
As G said, if we can practice and we can learn on a dry soap,
we're going to feel fine on it's snow.
It's going to feel nice, I think.
And they do put that fakes off snow there, don't they?
I don't know, do they? Do they need to do it?
Yeah.
I think you told us that, G, actually.
Yeah.
Even if it's been snow and other snow on the slopes,
they'll put the cannons on overnight.
They give it a fresh layer over the top.
I see.
So it'll be very professional.
Listen, we're going there for the appri anyway.
We don't give a fuck.
As long as I can ski from where I need to to the bars,
that I'm not trying to be a professional school.
We're there to have fun.
But I do want to paraglides.
Oh, Dowie, why do you want to do this?
I don't know.
I like stuff like that.
The one where they literally skate off.
No, that was like the bank.
I saw that on ticked up.
Yeah, the bank.
Why do you get green?
Sorry, it's still the fluff from that scarf.
You're covered in green fluff.
It's like green armpit here.
It's still from that.
It's from that scarf.
Honestly, haunting me that.
That really distract me there, but anyway, I quite like thrill things.
Yeah, you do, you're a bit of thrill-seek, aren't you?
But then, saying that, not as much now, I do get scared more, but anyway, we'll see.
Would you have swam with sharks?
Yeah?
Oh, yeah.
I would really like to swim with dolphins, and then when you saw all the fishes, like Nemo,
because Nemo's one of my favourite films, swinging me.
Aw, yeah, that was nice, that was scuba diving.
Yeah.
Do you know what I was saying, just going slightly back to the Maldives there,
when we were on the boat?
We had to go out to find the whale shark one of the days,
and they said it's going to be a two-and-half-hour speed boat,
to get there, which my seasickness was, that was not cute.
And then when we got there, they were like,
it's going to maybe take potentially five hours to go back and forth
to find the whale shark.
And they hadn't been seen in three months.
They're like, don't, you know, don't worry if we've not.
It's worth a shock.
They're like, just have your flippers at the ready.
Next minute, they're like, shock, shock, shock, shock, jump!
And I was just sitting there thinking,
never in my life would anybody jump in the sea
when somebody's screaming shark at them in their face,
but we're all like, fucking get it!
And then when we were down there, honestly,
there was a video I posted where you can hear me screaming in my snorkel.
The video doesn't do any justice.
It was humongous.
And I was like, I actually cannot believe,
wish my eyes could, like, take a picture.
Like, I cannot believe what I am witnessing right now
that I'm swimming with this humongous beast.
And was it just kicking about it down there?
Kicking about, thinking fuck.
But then all these other, like, stupid tourist came and joined us.
How dare they?
And then it goes deeper, then you can't see it.
And it just went.
Apparently it was a baby one as well.
I was like, it did not look.
like a baby but what color was it black uh like a dark blue with white spots on it it was huge it
it looked more like a whale than a shark to me yeah but that was quite thrilling for sure well next
week when we're back you'll hear all about skin and if we survived it and if we've got any injuries
we must disclose touchwood we'll be fine he nervous so we thought we would talk a little bit about
things that we loved in 2020
that we want to continue to take
into 2023. We don't want to talk
about things that we've loved for a long time, like
let's say, I don't know, Isle-Paradise
or flawless filter, things that we love
for a long time, because we'll talk about that in a bonus episode,
but we want to do things that we've discovered
and we think we'd like to take into this year,
but we will be taking into this year.
So what have you got on your little list?
Well, the main thing I would like to discuss
is that T-Cam marinade paste thing.
Live-changing.
that you posted about because that is actually straight from like a take away from Nandans.
It is.
It tastes the exact same.
I actually feel sorry for anyone that's listened to this podcast down south.
I really think if anybody on this podcast works for like a supermarket buying team,
you need to get it in.
Get this teakapace in your supermarket because it really is life changing.
Have you had it before, Jay?
Yeah, it was actually Jenna that introduced me to it.
What am I talking about?
It was Jenna that had it at her, your local butcher.
Is that right?
Yeah.
The butcher's in shots, but there's a wee place in Waterloo it originally comes from.
That's right.
That's right.
Wow.
Salcy G, so we've got his thank G for that.
You have that with chicken, cheese, chips and a wrap.
And you've got like a homemade...
Do you call that a hoagie?
Hogi.
Hogi.
What is a hoagie?
Exactly that.
A wrap, chips, cheese.
Chicken, chicken.
Or you can have like Donna meat and all that, but that's enough for me.
Oh no.
And then you'd have like salad and sauce, but obviously in our household would do no salad or no sauce.
Just the wraps and cheese.
chips. Yeah, that's definitely coming into every year going forward. For me, even though I technically
didn't discover this in 2022, an air friar. I was more, you know, I used it, I use it every day now.
Oh well, we are going to purchase that within the next week or show. I can't believe he didn't
get it for Christmas. And the amount of people that I've seen that I've tagged it over Christmas
as well, their life has changed. I know. They lied to you if they haven't. I have seen that
board of lunch, guy. He is amazing. The stuff he uses, well, puts in that is under
He's actually on my list, actually, of things that I discovered.
Because he's followed me for a while and he messaged me to say that his publication,
got a bloody cookbook, wanted to send me his cookbook and he's got a slow cooker cookbook
and he's bringing out an air fry cookbook.
So if anyone doesn't follow him, bored of lunch, he's called on Instagram, he's amazing,
Irish guy, his recipes are great.
Yeah, they are really good.
And it's like proper.
Like I think, I used to think with an air fried, it was just like for potatoes and chips
and all that shite.
I think a lot of people did it to be fair.
Yeah.
It did.
Whereas you can actually, not that that shit, that's the,
best part of meal but just the easy stuff you can just shove an oven you know whereas you just put your
raw you put your raw meats in the air frying it just I just can't quite comprehend what it is for me
it's not even the fact obviously it cooks it's the time frame and how it cooks it my life is halved
timing like your life my life no really hope it's not but the timing of cooking is just amazing
for me so really recommend it ninja all the way I'm thinking I'm going to get rid of my microwave and put
that in its place to be honest with you?
Millie percent.
Yeah, but how would you cook your beans?
In a pot?
Yes, on the hob.
Everything you can cook in a microwave if you can do on a hub or an oven.
Yeah, very true.
It's a massive piece of equipment that's not that necessary is what I've realized.
How necessary is it?
Not really, no.
I might get rid of mine.
Quite ugly as well.
Yeah.
Anyway, we digress.
How would you reheat him you?
Oh yeah.
Air fryer.
Cook it twice.
Fucking air fryer.
Well, you could just reheat in an oven.
But also we're not reheating this year, Gee, we're cooks this year.
Fresh. Yeah, we're all about fresh.
I'm in the kitchen and I'm cooking. That was my New Year's resolution.
Was it? To be better in the kitchen.
And I'm not going to say that I've made anything wonderful because I've not.
But I do feel I've got a little bit more patience in the kitchen.
I'm very conscious of it.
But we'll see what happens by the end of the year.
If I cook up a storm one night, you know?
Maybe you can cook tonight then?
No, I was really hoping you were going to whip up something wonderful for me.
Well, I was really hoping Richard was and then he said, I really want to
what a chippy and I says, well me and Zellie being good,
we're not having a chippy. Do you want a chippy?
That lasted long.
Holiday mode. I would love to get a chippy,
but I would actually just really love
like one of your good pasta dishes.
Yeah, all right then.
That would really fill the gap.
Should we make sausage pasta?
Yes.
Yeah.
Maybe a wee bit of GB.
Yes.
For anyone who doesn't know that's garlic bread.
Or C. G.B., which is cheesy garlic bread.
But I'm not on that hype.
I like it without the cheese.
Speaking of garlic bread, that reminds me with Peter Kay,
but that's just actually brought me on to...
Garlic bread.
Garlic bread.
That's put me on to, gee, you, I bought Richard Christmas present to see Ricky Jivace.
Yes.
VIP tickets, mad.
And I can't go because I'm going skiing and you're going, I hear.
Do you like Ricky Javis?
I do, yeah.
Love him.
Do you like him?
Yeah, not as much as Peter K though.
Peter K is brilliant.
Yeah, but don't get love Afterlife and Derek.
Oh, I did love Afterlife, actually.
You're right.
I forgot about that.
He's brilliant.
Well, you want to watch Thursday you, didn't you?
I don't know.
I was great happy when I helped that.
Yeah.
Have fun.
That's cute, that you're saying, yeah.
Remindy.
We buddies.
Yeah.
We bum buddies.
I just thought, you know,
Ricky Jvase is sort of like his,
how do I say this is that being ruined, did you?
His belief, strong beliefs are very you.
I thought,
who could Richard take?
Definitely Graham.
Right.
Other things that I love and discovered
goes without saying has to be grow gorgeous.
Hair stuff.
I have an actual horse's mane now.
And I was just speaking to Zoe before.
started this pod, I was doing some videos of it on my Instagram and when I started it back in
September, the difference is wild. It really works. And she was asking it's like, how does that
make sense or how does that work? And I'm like, I don't know, just it works. I think it's the
elastin and it's just getting thicker and stronger. This is a new word that I learned at work
through the week. Alastin. I mean, I knew elasticity obviously. Yeah. But that's obviously where
that comes from because you want to improve the elastin in your skin and your hair. And that means it's
like plumber, fuller.
Yes, that's why.
So I think that's why, even if you're hair.
Yeah.
But it's also shinier and I've got less split ends.
Bear in mind though, I am also doing other things
such as taking more care of it when I brush it
with that ball bristle brush.
I'm doing rosemary, I was fully influenced off TikTok,
that rosemary scalp oil,
but I guess that isn't really my ends of my hair.
And microfiber towels and just the shampoo and conditioner,
less heat.
But anyone that has bought the Grow Gorgeous from you recommend
and it has said they have really seen a different.
Anasi had a difference in my hair as well.
Yeah, gave you some in time.
Mine is like, I can just dry mine and then not have to straighten or wander whatever and it's okay.
Yeah, it used to be like a big frizzy main thing.
Right.
Like it makes it much smoother and silkyer, I think.
You don't get that often when you're born.
Very true.
Bleach dries us out.
Adonola.
Well, this is what I want to say, you're right?
I have 45 adenola tote bags.
Yeah.
Because I'm that person.
I have an adanola fleece, which was a recent purchase.
yeah and I don't have anything else so because I can't get anything true but
oh and socks I've got the mom right now yeah sucks the leggings and the actual sports
bras are so soft and figure-hugging I when I put them all the other day I went to end clothing
because they stock it now and I haven't tried the leggings on you know before and I was like wow
I really I do get the hype so I bought them and then I went back home and then I bought more
online because they obviously didn't have stock that much I actually saw you bought quite a lot
of stuff from there yeah because you so he sees my email so I can't get away of nothing
And I don't eat, like, I don't let you either, I just go, you order something, I'm like,
oh, what's you buying? I go in, and then I'm like, my, like that, I'm back to you.
But I bought the cargoes off from there, but they were too, they were too big for me, but...
Well, I'm actually going into town today for some last minute bits.
You should go to end?
I'm always so organised, and I'm going to go to end.
Yeah.
There's not probably that, she actually went in again a week later, and she said, nearly all gone.
Yeah.
But I would quite like to even get, like, a new hat or something.
Yes.
For going.
I don't know, see how I got on.
That's one of these shops that my mum will just be like,
what is all this and why does it all cost so much money?
Yeah.
So she'll probably want to leave after five minutes.
She'll have a much patience to go in there, will she?
A few of the things that I've loved.
I read a really great book on holiday, actually.
I think we should do some more book recommendations
because you need to get into reading because...
I don't read at all.
I know, but you need to, Zoe, because...
I wouldn't even read a long caption.
Okay.
I read a book called The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hewere.
go. Is this, that's Colleen Lassie?
No, it's not. And I'm
Jilly's put me off. Fuck, I've mentioned a name.
But Jilly has put me off
that because she said that they were
good, but they were overhyped.
What was it, Colleen Hoover?
Hoover, yeah. She said that they were quite,
what did she say? Are they not all about
like, just like rom-comming and nothing
really comes of it? Oh, I can't be asked with that though.
Right. I've read one book
and it took me eight months.
But I actually really enjoyed that book, so like
I thought I was doing well, but now I've obviously
realise that you should finish one within like a month?
You should finish it really within a few days,
but it takes you a few months probably to get into it
because you read a few pages and put it down, blah, blah, blah,
but once you're in it.
I don't understand at what point in the day people are reading.
I don't get that either, to be fair.
When are people finding this time?
When they're not scrolling so much on their phone?
Okay.
So this book, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,
anyone listening, you haven't read it,
please read it.
It is the most amazing book.
And do you read a physical book, or have you got a Kindle?
No, I can't do a Kind of.
your book and it was um it's going to be a film so that's why i really want people to
oh yeah you have all been chatting about that's quite all right no that's
kaleen hoover that's going it ends with us that's becoming a film
yeah anyway brilliant book if you want to get over there
kaleen hype read this other one i actually don't know who the author is i forgot but it's
brilliant so i'm going to so my technical resolution is going to be read a couple more books
i'm not going to put too much pressure on myself and be like one a month because it probably
won't happen but i'm going to read a book and i'm going to finish it because i really
enjoyed myself. Okay. And I thought about it a lot afterwards. I think it was actually last
year. I think it was the year before actually. I did my New Year's Resolutioners read more books
and that's when I done the one that took me eight months. What book was this? I forget it was called
Every Time. Dead Simple. Fucking hell. It's by that guy. It's very fitting. Right, that's fucking
lovely. Thanks. Listen, she said it. This was a good book and it's for that guy that I'm looking
it up because he's a popular author, okay?
Dead simple, it's called, I think.
That's really, may be pissed.
Peter James.
Never out of him.
Right, well, he's meant to be really good.
And anyway, I read it, and it was about a guy in a stag to,
and they were, like, pranking him and they buried him.
Right.
But then, actually, it turns out, I mean, no one's going to read it
so anyways, I'll just tell you.
It turns out that it was actually on purpose by a couple of these pals,
and they wanted to, like, bury him alive.
And the wife, it was meant to be getting married, like, two days later or whatever,
has been having an affair with his best pal this whole time.
So it was all very planned, but she didn't know.
Is it a thriller?
It's a thriller. I do love a thriller.
Yeah, it was good.
Okay.
See, I would rather that kind of book than, well, I do like a bit rom-com film, to be fair,
but I don't want to read.
Like, autobiographs and stuff like that.
No, no way.
I'm bored.
Yeah.
Boring.
Yeah.
Been there, done that, it's already happened.
Get over it.
But you've been in the past, where it belongs.
Jokes.
Let me think, what else?
I feel like my other things that I just really love our beauty products, to be honest.
Like I do strongly believe if you don't use flawless filter, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Like I do, that's quite a passion of mine.
But bear in mind, not everybody wants to have that sort of dewy wet look to their face.
They also maybe want thicker coverage.
It was also technically a primer.
But I would wear that and then put my foundation if I was going out.
Or I would put it on my skin, then put my foundation on and just like mix it.
Okay.
So I've been doing, I always, I've still got one bottle left of the Becker primer.
And then I'm going on to the VIV.
I do like the VIV, but you know how I feel about the Beka.
So Beka, flawless, and then if I go out, I'll put a bit of Georgia Armani on.
That's obviously like 20,000 grand flipping a bottle.
I was going to see, you can't hate money.
Luminous silk, it's iconic.
I just do one squirt of that on a night out.
I don't go out that much to do that sort of makeup.
Special occasions.
It would last me a couple years.
Treat yourself and all that.
Yeah, why not.
Also, hydrophacials.
I know you've been introduced to them technical.
this year, but I've had the...
Zoe got one, when was it, a couple weeks ago?
Yep, like the second weekend of January.
And honestly, I came out there thinking, wow,
ever she's a dream.
You were very passionate about that on your stories.
I think people would have been heavily influenced by that
because you don't really have much enthusiasm,
so I think they would have been like, whoa, she really did love this.
We're happy through episode one and there's been a few digs already.
Get ready!
I'm just, I feel like I'm quite upbeat today.
considering I can hardly speak because my teeth are that sore.
Zoe decided to sleep in with the teeth whiting last night.
No, I fell asleep with it in and if anyone whitens her teeth, you'll sympathise with me.
I actually do go to them with teeth whitening though in the shield.
The whole night?
Yeah, I thought that's what people did, no.
Not as what is what you're supposed to do, but I do it for an hour and I can't breathe the next day for five hours.
Right.
It's like the cold day are hitting off my teeth.
I've had a few people ask us actually on messages what we use on our teeth.
It was because that's stunning pick that I've never looked at that in my life and never will again.
Oh no, by the way.
I use the Phillips Zoom whitening for my dentist.
What do you use?
It's like polonite, is that what it's called?
From me dentist?
Yeah, from a dentist.
And gum shields.
But honestly, probably shouldn't say it.
Crest whitening strips are so much easier and quicker.
Yeah, but that pain, that shooting pain that you get.
Well, that's what I get with this, and I'm using the professional stuff.
You know when you have it on your mouth and then you get that shooting pain,
then all of a sudden you start drooling, you literally like frothing at the mouth.
And you're like, oh, man.
Anyone listening that's happened to you will know
it's the worst pain ever
Also I've not used crest white strips
ever since I had bonding
and I do think that if I put them on
peeled it off my bonding would come off with it
Yeah, they are lethal still
Because they do stick to your teeth
But that's a quick fix, that's it before a night out
They are good, yeah
When you get ready on a night out
It's good just to plop on your teeth
Yeah, but anyway I'm really pushing through the pain
Because the air hitting off my teeth is quite painful
What, even just breathing?
Yeah, breathing, not what you just done there
is sending shivers
through her spine.
I think that's it really
that I loved.
I feel like
I can only remember
what I've been watching
and listening to it in the last month
which obviously isn't 2022.
Did you watch Traitors?
Yes, we loved that, didn't we?
Traitors, love that, I really hope it comes back.
But then is it ever going to be the same
because people who go on it
like people know how it works now
people know what to look for?
They'll bring other things in
to make it more challenging.
Gee, did you watch traitors?
Oh my god
It was
It's a new game show
And I was all all hyped up on
As well on Instagram
I thought I'm gonna give this a go
I was sucked in
I watched it in I think
Two days
It's so bad
And why does everyone cry so much
Was it like Love Island
No
It's like a big group
For like all these different people
Like mixed stages and all that
And it's in Scotland
But they're just from like all over the UK
And they need to do challenges
To build up the money pot
But what's her name?
Claudia Lincleman
Yeah
I actually usually hate but she was not bad on it
She was actually good at it, wouldn't she?
She picks three traitors at the start,
and they've not to tell anyone,
and they kill, obviously, don't actually kill someone,
but they choose someone to kill every night.
Yeah.
Oh, that does sound good.
But they have to...
And also every night they sit around a big table,
deliberate who's the traitors,
and then they'll put someone out,
and obviously that person goes up
and half the time, they're like, I'm not a traitor.
Literally all of the time at the start, wasn't it?
They're getting it wrong every time.
Because then also, at the end,
the people that are in the final,
if there's a traitor amongst them,
they'll take all the money and it won't get split
That's awesome
So they need you try
You're making a show called The Mole
No
No but do you know what it was like
What was the one that was in like the castle
Bon Voyage or something
Fort Byr
Fort Byr
Borg
Bon Voyage
Borgiaz
Borgiaz
Borgiaz
Fucking
Bamboyard
No my teeth are hurting
Foyard with Melinda Messenger
That sort of vibe wasn't it
Oh but it was so much more twist and turns to it
When they, when that, that guy though
I know everyone hated
I don't want to give it away too much
But the main guy that was the main traitor
The only one guy
People hated him right
But what you have to give it to him is
He got chosen to be a traitor
They all asked to be one
he got picked
he played it so well
that people hate him
you're at it honestly
I can't stop laughing
see that was great
we love Ginny and Georgia
yeah
and Firefly Lane
Firefly Lane yeah
what else was there
White Lotus I'm watching
I'm watching that right now as well
The Last of Us
I know you were going to say that
Gee I'm sucked in
Is that the thing you're slightly
retured for wanting to watch us
Yes it's a computer game
that he's been obsessed with for a few years
and it's all zombie fire
which is one thing you know
I hate
and it is brilliant
it is great
it is good isn't it
do you watch it as well
do you play the game
I did play the first one
yeah
but the show is great
I love the
see that Pedro Pascal
yeah
he's awesome
everything he's in
the young girl in it
is goes my
little sister school
is she's from Lester
yeah
she was in Game of Thrones
as well
oh was she
so was she
so was he
so was he
to be fair
oh okay
that's probably why
they have a good
on screen relationship
then
speaking of games
yes
is there an age
that guys
will stop playing games
games. I need to know that.
Doubt it.
Right, well that hasn't filmed me with hope.
Zoe, we would sit and play the Sims
and I'm a 32 year old woman.
I simply wouldn't. Would you not? No.
I probably wouldn't now, actually. I've really
got the time just to sit and build a wall
around my sim and sit it on fire.
Because Jason
Julie is quite into his games, is what I'll say.
But I did also buy my Nintendo Switch. I did add to the problem.
It's different when you're older.
It becomes more of a distraction.
No, like de-stressing.
Okay.
So switch off, because all you're thinking about is the game.
Rather than just like a kid playing a game for a pure enjoyment,
it's like do something different that's not work or life.
Yeah, yeah, I suppose.
And what else we could discuss actually?
Because we kind of missed it last time.
It's Love Island.
Definitely, yeah, because we're going to be live and direct, aren't we?
What I will say is this year I feel extremely old.
They really are getting young.
And you know what the producers need to...
No, we're just getting old because this is the first year
that I've felt old.
No, we are getting old, that's what I mean.
But what I think the producers need to realise
is the two youngest people in that Love Island
had the least personality about them, and they've gone.
They need to bring in people with more life experience
and a bit older, or more mature.
Harris and the anime, they brought nothing to the villa at all.
And they were both gorgeous, 10 out of 10 looking looks,
but nah.
Boring.
Boring.
And did you listen to that Davina McCall podcast?
No.
Did you, Jay?
Brilliant.
Yeah.
I mean, she's tired of doing one about people.
Yeah.
divorced and kids and yeah she wants to host it and she said she's put it forward apparently
oh like an older yeah apparently they did say that something like that is coming well and she was
also saying that she went she went um slightly morbid but she went and approached the idea of people
that have like long what's the word no when you're going to die terminal illness yeah so sorry when
you've got terminal illness and she's saying about her sister her funeral was apparently unbelievable
but her sister never realized how love she was,
but it was such a celebration of her life.
And she just kept thinking when she was there,
I really wish my sister was here to see this.
So she was thinking of doing some sort of,
this is your life type show,
but for people with terminal illnesses
that were wanting just to celebrate their life
and just see how love they were and watch everything.
So basically, like have a wake whilst you're alive,
a funeral for you.
Wow.
So she went forward with that.
She's amazing, by the way.
She listened to that podcast.
It was very good with Stephen Bartlett.
That's an interesting concept, that one.
Yes, very in.
But yeah, I love the idea of the mature Love Island.
Yeah.
But what I need to know is, why at the stage we're at with Love Island right now,
does it feel that we're on week six and we're on week two?
Because there's so much drama.
I know, and everyone is like, poor married off.
I know.
Well, anyway, yeah.
We've really been digressing, but you know what?
His brain will be fried listening to his chat about Love Island.
Was he?
He's like, fuck, I think.
Do you have a whole season about this?
No, I don't just hate things.
there's zero interest.
Yeah, fair enough.
I do think a lot of people probably listen
that I haven't got any interest in it.
Do you know what it is about it?
It doesn't last.
Well, obviously it lasts, what, six to eight weeks?
It's just that one hour thing you can watch every night.
You don't need to sit and think about what you're watching.
Yeah.
Look for something to watch.
Look for a film, not mean?
Yeah.
Just stick it on.
You don't need to pay that much attention.
A bit of drama.
A bit of something to chat about.
Very true.
Okay, there's actually one thing that I wanted to talk about
that I've discovered in 2020.
I actually got it from a Christmas present,
but it kind of moves on slightly onto people's resolutions.
We asked you guys, what were your resolutions for the year?
I personally don't really have any.
I've decided that this year is going to be,
I'm a very list person and I'm overwhelmed by my lists
to the point where I don't get very productive doing them.
So I'm not going to write a whole long list of things
that I need to change about myself
because I know what I need to do.
I just need to be more consistent, right, right, right.
But there is one thing that I saw on social media
that I think it may have been,
Georgia White posted it,
where they write small wins of the year.
So every time something good happens to you,
you write it down in your notes.
Did you see that?
Yeah, I'm smirking because I also did it.
Did you?
And I've got one thing on it.
Yeah, but I bet you you've forgot about it,
so you've not wrote on it?
No, I've been quite thoroughly thinking.
And do you know what it says?
What?
First skiing lesson went well.
Well...
So then making back, I'm going to say,
Survived skiing trip.
You can be like, went on an amazing holiday with friends,
had a sleepover with Jess.
surviving's like the bare minimum
who's slightly positive
started season two
of a lot on your plate podcast
I'll write that as soon as we're finished
but I actually do think that's lovely
the gym you've been going to the gym consistently
you've been being good with that
you wanting to learn to cook a bit more
you may be I don't know maybe your little niece
said the first word or something
just little things that make you happy
it doesn't have to be personal things
you know put pressure yourself in that way
I know but it's January in it
look up too much in January
true very true so see by the end
the year this list, it's going to be lengthy.
It's going to be lengthy. We're going to achieve and do wonderful things.
You are, darling. I strongly believe it.
So, yeah, good vibes only this year.
And I'm writing down this list, all the things that I'm going to try to remember,
to write all the things on my list, and then I'll look back on it at the end of the year
because when everyone's posting their flipping round up of their goddamn 20-23,
and you're sitting there looking at your phone like, great, they got engaged, they got
their first house, which is wonderful, and it is something to be celebrated.
But can I just say my thoughts quickly on that?
We saw it at the time.
We did see it at the time, yeah.
But, you know, let people, you know, people obviously want to do that and that's nice.
But there are people that obviously want to.
Well, if you're trying to count us ways, extremely negative.
Yes.
I'm like, we saw at the time, we don't need to see again.
We're being put up.
I think.
I would like to ask you to tell us one thing that's on your list.
All right.
I really digress there because I'm actually going to tell you something.
We're just absolutely.
What was I saying there?
I was actually saying.
We're too excited about this.
Been back.
No, I was saying that, yeah, rather than all the round-ups
when you're people looking at other people's round-ups of the year,
you look at your list, you're like, well, actually, I did achieve stuff.
Because it is a time when people think, oh, I'm, I didn't do anything good this year,
but actually you just don't think about it.
Yeah, like some of our friends were saying they find you're quite overwhelming, weren't
now?
Yeah, it is, though.
About not achieving things.
And then we actually, in fact, was it you,
did a very nice exercise in the group chat,
and you wrote something that everyone had achieved and well-achieve.
I did do that.
I wrote a good thing about every single one of my friends in my chat
and what they've done from my eyes
and what they will achieve
because I know that's what they want.
I'm not going to say yours
because you'll get in trouble.
I've got, look at my list.
I'm going to read all.
I'm going to read all.
Overachiever you are.
I'm not.
It's just, to be fair,
half of it is the Maldi's trips.
It's like I swam with a dolphin today.
I swam with the turtle.
Really wanted to do that.
I had a great time at New Year's Eve
with my friends.
You're included in that.
A couple of exciting emails came in,
which you know about.
I had a fab night at the Burns night the other night.
A lovely night at Crossbasket.
I managed to run 5K under 30 minutes again.
I saw that and what I'd like to speak about
is you saying can people not be judge you of that time.
If I had done that, I would honestly think I'm a professional runner.
So, I mean, people posting 25 minutes in lockdown.
That's only like four minutes less than you then.
Gee, four minutes is a lot, isn't it?
That's for a 5K.
Yes.
Richard could run in a 5K and I think it's like 16, 70 minutes.
Yeah, but he's a fucking...
I get that.
I wasn't putting myself down,
but I used to be able to run it in 20K.
27 minutes and I was 33 and my loop is quite hilly.
Well, you did great.
I did.
And what I will say is I really pushed myself as well.
Like the last one and a half K, I was like, what a fucking sprint?
I have realised, I now agree with everyone to say it's all in the head we're running.
It really is.
Because I ran at the gym, which is obviously more boring because you're on a treadmill.
But just as, like, I wasn't going to run.
I just like to do it as a wee bit warm up, you know, before I get any of the heavy weightlifting that I do.
And I ended up running three feet.
and I wasn't even meaning it.
That's great.
And I was like, it's all in your head.
I wasn't even fucked.
That's like people say they listened to a podcast, don't they?
Mm-hmm.
I was listening to a podcast.
Oh, were you?
Hocker running trainers.
Another great thing from 2022.
Well, that was the own downfall.
I've done it in the bloody new balance.
Oh, yeah.
And my big, I haven't seen my big toe,
my second toe, because that's bigger when my foot is relaxed.
My toenials are bruised from the shoes.
All right.
Yeah, they're not the best to running.
So I need better running shoes, so I will actually purchase them.
Sounds like to go on the streets and pound leaf pavements
In the future
You're either your one-liners
Right, so just as I did digress this slightly
Moving into the people's New Year's resolutions
A lot of people said
Stay off your phone more, less social media, blah blah blah
Have an invention
I'm not an invention, it was a gift that I got
It was the docking thing
Which is your Apple watch
The iPhone with the magnetic back and your AirPods
I'm rubbish at charging my phone anyway
And everything like that
But what I will say is it doesn't allow you to use a lead in bed.
So when my phone's dead, I just have to put it up.
So it keeps the phone off me.
If I take it off, obviously, it's not charging.
So for me, I've deliberately not put a lead in the wall
because I'm keeping it there so I can then go on my iPad
or watch a half screen to another screen.
But for my iPad, I'm watching something.
I'm not scrolling through social media.
That's your time to read your book.
Yeah, or read a book, yeah.
If people are interested in that, it's a,
isn't the reason why I got it,
it's so I could have something one in one,
but it's actually good for that.
Starts me sitting on my phone in bed.
And you did also buy, like, a safe that you have to,
like a timer thing.
Never even plugged that fucking thing in.
That you put your phone in.
There was one day that you didn't reply to me
for eight hours, eight hours enough.
My phone was on a tripod over my hob
and it fell into the hot sauce.
Yeah, I know that now, but see, at the time,
I thought she's put that phone in there
and she kind of get it back out.
or she's actually on the floor dead
because she's got so frustrated
trying to work. Eventually I actually
because you were meant to say, I'm sure you were meant to send
stuff to me. I was. And actually
texting Richard had been like, are you with Jessica
and is she alive?
I actually was like
So basically
it's in the house mate. It's a lockbox
that I think's designed for
parents to put their children's phones in when they've
been naughty and they can put like a four hour timer on it
or if you lack concentration
like myself. So I was going to
buy this lockbox. You can
there's a hole in it
so you can call an emergency
if you need to
but yeah
and I've not even
plugged it in the wall
so that's great
do you ever check your screen time
should we check it
yeah
how do we do that
my screen time
was nothing in the Maldives
because I had no Wi-Fi
and it was fantastic
actually I'm on my phone
a lot
I'm far too available
this is why
people always take the piss
out of me with WhatsApp
right and they say to me
I get tagged in memes
all the time
about being terrible at replying
that is too much
of an available app for me
if I don't want to
fucking reply to you
I'm not going to
Just because you've seen them two ticks, does it mean I have the space in my brain to reply to you in that moment in time?
It annoys the life out of you.
Right, gee, how do I look?
Go out into settings and go on to screen time.
Oh, you're beast.
Yeah, you'll get per day and then per week.
I can't even say this like that.
It makes me sick.
Get it up, screenshot it.
We'll put it up.
It makes me sick.
It's actually just going off.
Right, it's your activity.
So today I've only been on it for two hours, 37 minutes, which is a lot, considering I've been a lot.
and doing a podcast and was in a gym class.
And it's 12 o'clock.
I've only been on it 48 minutes.
Right, what's your daily average?
Four hours, 16 minutes.
I can't even breathe.
Yours is eight, isn't it?
Is it?
Guys, eight hours, seven minutes.
Yeah, but let's not forget
you have to edit content.
Yeah, no, I'm off, it's my job.
Total screen time for the week is 48 hours, 43 minutes.
Wow.
How does I see my total time for the week?
18 hours of the week.
that is Instagram, 11 hours is WhatsApp,
so I actually don't have any excuse.
But listen, in shot, which is my editing app,
four hours for the week,
which doesn't sound that lot.
Emails, two hours.
That's 45 minutes a day, really.
Yeah, true.
Notes two hours, mail two hours,
internet two hours,
camera three hours a week.
Jesus Christ.
As if you're making videos.
Yeah, ITV, and I.
My total for the week's 25 hours.
You could read like five books.
Fuck me, that's terrible that.
Last week...
Wait to look at pretty pictures.
Wait, look at the...
Look at the...
Oh my god, this is wonderful.
Look at this.
So, last week was like eight hours.
A week before was nine hours a day.
So that actually last week was even worse.
Then it was eight hours a week before.
When it goes to the week I did the Mold Eves, guess how many?
In average a day.
Like one.
No.
13 minutes.
No.
That's lovely.
I need to get back to that.
to that.
My most used apps, WhatsApp, and it's eight hours,
eight hours, 36 minutes.
What's that, a week or a day, a week?
Then Instagram, then mail, then messages.
But you know what I will say is,
I don't feel like I overconsume on Instagram, though.
Even though I'm sitting there saying I've been on it,
I don't feel, it doesn't affect me at all, honestly.
I will turn to that and scroll at any first inch of boredom.
Yeah, no, it's an automatic thing,
but I don't feel like I'm sitting there and saying,
I'm always on Instagram, it's bothering me up.
TikTok is the way.
one app that I lose hours of.
Yeah, that's a time suck.
Yeah.
You don't even realize where time goes, just pretty strong.
It's because the algorithm is so powerful.
It just keeps giving you stuff you want to watch.
Want to watch, yeah.
So with TikTok, actually, that didn't even come up on my apps this week or last week
because I'm deliberately not, I know as soon as I open the app,
that's my life gone for two hours.
Yeah, so if anyone that's interested in that resolution
and I want to get off your friend a bit more,
maybe invest in that device.
Yeah, because it's really helpful for me.
So read a couple more out, shall we?
move on.
I think this one's lovely
and really matches your energy.
Yeah?
Let's do it.
To sack resolutions
and treat every day
as an opportunity.
Goals to go big
with my CIC.
I don't know what that is.
But it's very positive.
That's very positive.
That's what we love.
This year is for the girls.
It's here for the girls.
Is that actually boys in that song?
It's here for the boys.
Yeah, it is.
Well, I'm changing it.
It's funny thing is.
There's a couple here.
Somebody's saying,
Be less of a yes person and somebody else's wrote, say yes more.
Interesting.
Because I feel like the person that's saying yes to everything is, as I said,
that magic life secret of not giving a footbook is very much designed for people that are yes people.
She obviously doesn't want to say yes.
It's just seen it 10%.
Yes, to please people.
But the other woman is probably wanting to do more things,
but she's saying no because she maybe doesn't want to.
Woman, man, I don't know if it's a woman or man, presuming here.
A few people have wrote Wear More Color, I quite like that.
I'm the opposite, though, where I need to wear less
because I'm starting to buy clothes that don't go with other things
so I'm trying to just be more neutral.
The only colour I do actually really buy it into as green.
Celtic.
No, it's actually just because I like the colour.
Okay.
Not everything's about Celtic and Rangers in Glasgow, right?
I do love the colour green, actually.
Be consistent.
That's a good one.
That's what I'm going to be looking at.
Like I say, we all know what we need to do
if we just be consistent with it.
And I think one thing that I need to do is see as my health and fitness, like actual fitness, which I am quite good at.
But see it as more of like a brushing your teeth kind of thing.
You will always brush your teeth.
And you're never going to regret not.
You're never going to regret if you never.
Exactly.
So it needs to be something that goes without saying that I do, whether it is getting outside and walking or going to a gym class or something because it makes me feel so good afterwards.
This morning I was going to snooze my alarm before class today.
I thought, I'm going to get ready for the podcast, feel a bit nice.
And I thought, no, get out, do it.
Only probably because last week's class was so bad, gee,
that that's actually traumatised me, but I'm so glad I did it.
And you never regret it, do you?
Never.
Because I go before work in the morning, so I have to get up at quarter to sex.
I know, by your fucking 5 a.m. text messages that you send me every bloody morning.
Because you text me at one o'clock in the morning.
I've been sleeping for two hours at that point.
Believe in myself and not be afraid to show my confidence.
Yes, sis.
Everyone needs to be more like that.
So he said earlier, I says, I don't have.
any resolutions, she says, mine is just to stay gorgeous. I think that is what everyone needs
to be. Yeah, as in yours is that. Obs, but everyone else needs to be that because we're all gorgeous.
Make my word, my law. What does that mean? Make my word my law. Do you know what that means?
Does that not just mean like what I say goes? Like, I can make my own decisions. Maybe, yeah.
Stop buying loads of clothes and create a capsule wardrobe. Yes. Swear less. Something I really can't do.
I honestly have to
like I have a off and on switch for that
I feel yeah
like when I'm around my mum family
it literally won't even
it's as if they words don't even exist
but with like you all my friends
Jason
I don't think you swear that much
even has family because they do it naturally
I'll swear I don't think you swear that much
just as if it's two I'm like two different people
Quite a lot of people are wanting to run a marathon
A lot of people running marathons
There's a fantastic app the Nike app
and you can write in the date that you're going to run a marathon
and it gives you like a 16 week program
or 18 week program and it's like a bit like couch of 5K
one day's 35 minute run
one day's 20 minutes speed run
then it's a 6K run and great app for that
if you feel trading for that. It's aim for like
a 10k first. Yeah
but a hamishy legs. A half a marathon
even half a marathon is a long
long run. Is it 20K?
Yeah 21. 21k
fuck that. That's like what
do people usually do it in is it not like
hour and a half, two hours?
For a marathon?
Half a marathon?
No, two and something, two in a bit.
I'm sure my friend and work did it in one hour of 50 something.
Probably.
But like what I mean is that is such a long time to run.
Yeah.
And I'm just like, do you never stop for a wee walk?
Never?
People are like, no.
Stop stressing over things that are out of my control.
Be less critical to myself.
Apart from the gym, go out more and be more social.
I definitely think this year, at the end of last year,
people are getting a bit more back into the swing of things
with being more social and going on holidays.
Even when we went out for she who shall not be named birthday in January.
Yeah.
Everywhere it was packed.
I've never seen January like that.
It was 14th of January or something and every place we went to.
Was round.
Even like for years that we're driving, try to find a parking space.
Like everything was so busy.
Yeah.
Wonderbar as busy as it always is.
Big Coo outside.
Wonderbar is just the place to be in it, isn't it?
Everyone's there.
But I didn't expect even that to be busy at that time in January?
Yeah.
I just think everyone just especially like younger people like students and that will probably think
well they did actually lose like two proper years of like youth I know bad timing for them
I feel like a half did half didn't but it was bloody mobbed everywhere it was but yep so apart
from that a lot of people just saying want to be happy but as I say happiness is not a destination
it is a way of life my friends and that is the wise words of Miss Jessica yeah
Naomi Tedd
I'm getting ripped to shreds
about my middle name by the way
Can we discuss this?
I'm going to rip rid of shreds
if you want me to discuss it
It's just not you
It's not is it
It's not you
I don't see it for you as well
But you all say Naomi
I say Naomi
That's a different name
And I was speaking to a friend of ours
How do you spell N-A-O-M-I
Yeah
Naomi
Naomi
And it's my name
And basically this girl
That's our mutual friend
I said she's like
Oh Jess what's your middle name
And I was like, it's Jessica and I aim me.
She went, oh, I don't love that for you.
And I was like, what?
Moving on.
Moving on.
Can you tell me what's been on your plate this week, emotionally and physically?
Emotionally.
My house's been a shithole because of my skiing stuff everywhere.
That's stressing me out.
I do struggle to process, like, how people can just shut a door and leave that mess.
Like, this morning I had to go up and do my polishing and that
because I can't go and holiday without my house being spotless
the way it needs to be.
I'm not like that, Zoe.
I know.
My problem is I've got too much stuff.
Storage has a problem for me as well.
I'm going to get one of those companies to come in in my house
and do all the...
Sort of your cupboards and all that for you?
Yeah, there's a couple of people that have messaged me about it.
I'm going to ask them if they will.
I would actually do that for you for free
and it would give me so much joy.
I know, you loved doing that, didn't they?
You do that for your mum?
I think that should be my business.
You could.
There's quite a few of them kicking about now.
I honestly find
See, I'll clean out my wardrobe once a month
I love it
I'm not that roofless
I think maybe I'd like that
I'm coming to your house
and sleep in your spray room tonight
I know that's what Richard said
is like Jess you need to get this clear
before Zoe gets here
and I'm stressed
Well I'm not saying
Don't you worry about me
No it'll be fine
You get that sourced
And it'll make you feel better
And me
The problem with ski stuff
Is this so big
A proper coat
It's fucking massive
I've got one coat
on one pair of boots in my case is full.
And then monstrous moon boots that were all taking,
like, they're the ugliest things I've ever seen,
but, you know, everyone's got them.
I will say, I do think I regret buying them.
But then at the same time,
what else am I wearing on my feet?
Nothing, everyone wears them?
I know.
So that's why I kept them,
because I did really think about it.
But they take up the other half of the case.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to put them in hand luggage now.
Okay.
And that really helps.
And then we're booking on another case
because we're just, we're absolutely strokes.
all these products that we love, we need to take it there.
That's actually what's been on my plate emotionally
as packing for a ski trap is like trying to cure world hunger.
Yeah.
Without being insensitive.
But I mean like it's it's not actually the packing
it's when you've not been on a ski trip before
knowing exactly what you need, how much of things you need,
how many layers. No one has a straight answer for you, no one.
Because none of us have done it.
But even people that have, they're like, mm, it depends.
Like you do get quite hot on your skiing,
but then when you're sitting drinking, it's colder.
and I'll wear this amount of layers
and then I see people
when they won't get one layer in a jacket
and there's no decision to be made
everything's very up in there
and because everything's so bulky
you can't like overpack that much
and I also like a fresh pair of pyjamas
every night and I just can't afford to fit seven pairs in
sorry I told you that need to stop
we've got a washing machine in that
thing I've packed four so far
that's four pajamas
two a night
well one pair will do me two nights
so we're taking two
You're only thinking, right, I don't feel, I don't feel clean in the bed.
No, I don't, but we're going to have a washing machine in there.
I know, but I'm not going to have these washings, you know what I mean?
Anyway, what's been on your plate physically?
Physically, well, health does scheme boring to me a wee bit when it comes to dinners and stuff, right,
because you're not getting all these sauces and that in, because, you know, I'm so good at all that.
Anyway, I met my dad for lunch yesterday on my lunch break.
I do that quite often on a Friday.
And we usually go to Katsu and get a...
cats of curry or sometimes we get prawn fried rice
with curry sauce. Anyway, spiced it up
a little yesterday. We went to
Doctor Noodles. I've not heard of this.
It's next to my office still
and you choose
small bowl, well small box
regular box bowl. Then you choose
your protein so it's like chicken, beef
prawns and I think there's something else.
Then you choose what veggie want and then you choose what sauce you want
and I've got loads of sauces so I had
small noodles with chicken
and onions and honey and sauce.
sauce. Oh wow. Really nice
and my dad got some hot sauce. He was sweating.
He was sweating. He was sweating.
And he was like, I'm no
making a dent in this, I'm not. Because he got the bowl
because it's big portions. The small
box, very filling. And also
I think that's quite good for
slightly healthy lunch. So that's
what's been on my plate. It wasn't on a plate, it was
in a box, but you know, you know how it is?
What's been on yours, missy,
miss suspicious over there.
Well, I am obsessed
with gherkins and pickles at the moment. Well, I
have been for a while, but I did a job with Baxter's Pickles back in Christmas time.
Back in the day.
Back in the day.
And I'm just obsessed with them.
I've got jar upon jar in my French.
Quick question before we get on to the subject.
Burkins, pickles.
Same thing, not.
Yeah.
Maybe one's like an American word.
Well, listen, like pickles could be a pickled onion.
Love a pickled onion.
A lot of pickled onion.
And you've got the miniature pickled, um,
You've got, like, pickle capers.
You've got everything.
That's class as a pickle, technically, but I would say a gherkin is a pickle.
Anyway, I just love them.
So they do these sliced ones, and I come home after the gym, and I wrap it in,
wrap it in some proper, like, thick turkey or ham, spread a bit of mustard on it,
occasionally put a slab of cheese in it, and it is sensational.
And when we asked you guys on the pod, what have you eaten?
A few of you wrote Jess's pickle thing.
somebody said that has their boyfriend
say that they belong in a prison
because they've been witness to them eating it
and they're like, what the fuck is that?
But it is amazing.
However, on TikTok, which ruins my life,
every, all these kids are eating this chamoid pickle.
It's worth saying here actually that
in our spit and swallow each week
we're going to try and do like trends.
Trends on TikTok or new things that come out
so if you see anything send it to us and we'll try it.
drinks, snacks, anything, you name it.
So we'll both try it now rather than each other.
Yeah.
And we're getting a, I think we said it at the beginning,
but we're getting a fancy new studio, which we're going to have,
it's going to be beautiful.
We're going to design it ourselves.
And we're going to be able to put more video clips on to the Instagram page and TikTok.
So you can witness us eating these monstrous snacks.
So anyway, decided to buy.
And we're going to film this so you can see.
A Chimoi pickle kit.
Off TikTok.
It costs me 20 quid this.
I'm gonna eat it.
Wow, it's girthy.
We've got a plate, Jay?
No.
Fuck. So we've got this like fruit roll-ups
that apparently they wrap round the pickle.
I've got terrible gag reflex guys.
Well, I can't actually bite anything.
It's a good luck to me.
I gag, even when I drink out of a wine glass that the rim's too thick.
Right, come on, that's ridiculous.
I do.
Also, none of you better get the trays on the plane down tomorrow.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Zoe.
I need to get wipes.
I'm going to get a bottle of water on it and sip it
when I get off in the car journey.
And you know, that'll be lying at your bedside for the whole fucking trip.
I know it.
And you'll have one sip of it a day.
Right, oh, oh, it's like a strawberry...
Gize a snuff of that.
Is this tajine?
Wow.
Oh!
So we've got some sort of like Mexican spice seasoning.
We've got a Chimoi favourite hot liquid candy.
I wish I could use my own hot sauce.
I want this to be quite enjoyable.
Right, so I've got it all ready.
Oh!
Ooh!
Not put anything this large in my mouth quite in time.
Whoa!
He's a big boy.
How is space out of thin?
To me this, I'm salivating.
Listen, I'm actually salivating at the mouth.
This stuff drives me wild
A big girthy pickle
Right
Let's wrap it
I'm guessing we just
Wrap it round like that
It's fucking stinking, I'll tell you that
You smell that?
Oh yeah
What a yell
Oh my God, I'm so excited
Do you know what it honestly smells like in here
a McDonald's burger?
Yes
Hot sauce
That's the most concerning part
I'm not good with space
Any words for us?
Mmm.
Wow.
Guys, I like that.
I like that a lot.
I like exactly how I thought it would taste as well.
I've been salivating watching people eat these on TikTok.
Oh my God. Right, so it's over your term.
Mmm, that sweety wrap around it.
It really works.
I'm concerned.
Jane, we're hoping to go next.
No.
Why not?
I'm concerned for my welfare.
Just a pickle, yeah, but not.
Come on.
The hot sauce is a concern for me.
It's not hot.
I can't wait to eat the rest of that.
Guys, I like it.
People exaggerate when they don't like it.
My teeth have got a heartbeat.
I know for a fact you're not going to like this.
Why?
It's really chewy, so it takes a while to actually get your head around.
Jess, I like that.
Me too, Sammy!
Whatever's wrapped around, that's fucking great.
It's so good.
I'm going to have to have a bit more.
Gee, I'm going to have to buy you one.
Just does not doing it for me.
I know, me neither, but it works.
Doink, doinkey, doink.
Doinkey, doonkey, doonkey.
By the way, what a fucking strange thing.
Oh my God.
Who's sitting eating a pickle thinking you know what this needs?
Fruit roll up.
Yeah, no.
Very, very bizarre combination.
Honestly.
That is amazing.
But I'm a real pickle lover.
I'm a real piquel lover. I'm a real vinegar lover, sour lover, spice lover.
I'm not a spice lover, but I love vinegary pickle things.
And I love anything with texture, like a bowl of yoghurt with granola and fruits and dry fruit.
See, for me, that's a perfect texture thing.
You're having a bit of a...
Is it all over my teeth?
I don't look at all.
Wow.
So anyway, that was a success.
I'm going to buy more.
I actually am pleasantly surprised, although I do feel like it stuff all over my hands.
But it tastes exactly how you picture it to taste when you watch people do it.
Mmm!
See, I'm not sure because I've never just bitten a pickle like that.
Oh no, okay.
But I'll definitely add pickles into more...
Yes.
More of my cooking.
Anyway, that was a lovely little ketchup.
Right, well let's wrap it up before you put another bit of that in your mouth.
Well, that's us first step back. We've completed it, complete it, mate.
Mm-hmm. I love being a little ketchup.
