Let's get ready, let's get ready, let's get ready to rumble. Happy Tuesday, people! We became a bit of a musical duet. We have. That's the new thing. We maybe should start the podcast every episode with a sing-song. I'm not committing to that. Come on, you're good.

I'm good. We're back, everybody. Me, Jessica, Zoe, and G-Dog is here. Somebody messaged and said, where was G last episode? But he said it was all about me, so he was quiet as a moose. Everyone missed you.

Yeah, they did. I'm back. He-he. Thank you so much for some nice messages from last week's episode. We hope you enjoyed it. And you learned a little bit of the insightful world of influencing.

How are you feeling about your interview last week, Jessica? Fine. Fared up a little. I had the Monday scariest because we had a heavy weekend in London, didn't we? London town, yep. I'm still actually rough. It can't be true. Are you FF rough?

Rough. Oh, right. I thought you were saying, are you rough? Asking me a question. Then I thought, what does F.S stand for? Like, I'm really not down with anyone. Fucking fucked. Yeah, we had a heavy weekend.

And I just feel like I haven't felt like I had a three-day hangover in a long time. And do you know why that is? Prosecco. But you chose that as your drink for that day and I do not understand that. So your drink was prosceco just with apparel added in.

Right, okay, you're absolutely correct. I am. I think we moved on. There was at one point you were, drink for second and I was very shocked by the choice and it wasn't at the start because that was more understandable do you know what that was though Zoe

because when we went to the second place it was like a revolution bar be at one it's called yeah some would call it a Wuthershman's so when we went there I thought it would be wise girl to stick to the same drink I thought this is where I start mixing the drinks

so if I stay on it but no that's a fucking myth because I was rough well I didn't get into five o'clock in the morning, so maybe that was the problem. But then also bearing the mind when we went to the Prince, we were on double vodkas. And because the service was so slow,

because it was so busy. So busy. We got about 10 at a time. I also did drink vodka. It's just because you lot drink it. I just thought, okay, I'll just be easy and just have the same. I just think I've vodka lemonade and limes so easy. Yeah.

I mean, it was nice, but oh my God. But we had fun, didn't we? It was such a good weekend I loved it We went to I actually haven't posted anything I don't think any of us did really But we went to the skinny kitchen Which is the same chain as the one in Ibiza

If anyone's been Brunch and is it on Saturdays? Every Saturday Yeah it's a boozy brunch I don't know if it's every Saturday But they do like a few different settings I think Yeah And it's one of the places where

It's like that tacky way Where there's like a saxophone player Yeah that people with them God damn disco bowl on the head. Like, nothing triggers me more than that. Nothing triggers me more. But they were good, but...

The singer and the dancers were so good. And I feel like even though saxophone player is a bit like, right, we get it. It is a buzz in that kind of atmosphere. And it was also like just full of women, like 99.9% of women. There was one man next to was he on a... Was he a gay best friend? I don't know.

No, I think they were on a date, right? And then towards the end, that girl was. like sexually dancing did you notice that was she like no that way would like you dance slow and like you move your bum but he was just like looking at and I thought oh yeah you're getting it to natsun I thought what a strange date um but no that was so fun but what I will say about that though if you do want a boozy brunch because obviously you know as we've said before in Scotland it was 90 minutes of unlimited booze you don't have that here in Scotland but it was they really didn't like

they allowed you to take the piss they were coming up to me filling up my glass at, sorry, at every second wasn't it? It was never empty. And I think that was because I chose a Prosecco so that's a good tip if you do do it. Do go for the Prosecco for that reason if you want. But even the Apparoles like there was a couple of times

we asked but that's because we were being absolutely like 12 year old dafties and being like let's down our drink. Yeah. So that was the only reason we were running out. Then there was a few times we asked and they were like oh no they're coming. Yeah. So like you have. They already I feel like there's staff have their dedicated tables and they're just on you all times. We even got food there and the food was really nice.

Yeah, the food was nice. And quick. Yeah. To get the food out the way onto the booze. Yeah. The boozy brunch. Yes, we recommend that. It isn't somewhere that any of us would probably choose to go but because it's one of those places where I think everyone there, everybody there, was there for either a big birthday celebration or a hendoo.

Like an occasion. Yeah. And I think for that, it was good. Yeah. music was great like the singer came out singing Whitney Houston and yeah it was really fun everyone was like up dancing yeah great times guys I was actually up dancing quite like near the start like sometimes I really came out Michelle in situations you were winding and grinding sis um so I was grinding well Molly perhaps so I haven't really got a spit or swallow per se but I do have a few

little treats here that I thought we could just eat that are like trending at the moment. There's a full talk bag on the table? Yeah. So, I have bought this new salt and vinegar mayonnaise from Marks and Spencers. Obviously I had to buy that. A creamy mayonnaise with malt vinegar and cider vinegar. I was going to buy some chips, but I thought it would be cold by the time we ate them. So I bought it some salted crisps.

See, that's what I actually imagine. Dipping it in. Really? Cresps into that. I don't know why that is. I had it last night with salmon, veg and rice. I mean, it was bizarre, but we normally do have mayo with that, a little blob. Saratra mayo, but...

Yeah, but Sadrachian meal and salt and vinegar me was completely. It wasn't really quite right, but it was still delicious, because you know me, I look anything in vinegary. So I bought Tireles, tarils, lightly salted crisps. I would say tittle. And then I bought some daryl dungis just in case you want to dink them in. Then... I bought this and I can't get over how good it tastes.

Pippa nut, sweet and salty peanut butter, crunchy. It is so good. It's their new one. It's just come out and got it from Tesco. As you can see, I've hammered it already. Fucking a joke. And I think you've tried this before. The Grenade Oreo protein bar.

And you're going to be that. It's so good. They are so good. I've had one of them today. Have you? Yeah, I love. They're not even overhyped, I actually think they're genuinely so good. The one thing I will say...

They're the best ones yet. Really? They're the ones that are the least, like, sick and protein-y. Yeah. Like, they taste at a chocolate bar. But also, the one thing I need to know is why that needs to be three pounds. Yeah, by the way, I just went to McColls there and it was three quid, and I was like, what? I bought three the other day, and that was like a tenor on three chocolate bars, essentially.

You're joking? Three quid. But then, do you know what I have been recently? who have a lot of grade bars and they've always had the Oreo ones in, Holland and Barrett. Really? And they've been 250 in there.

You wouldn't think that either because Holland Barrett can be quite expensive. Oh, be apple, is it? I bought an apple with the peanut butter because I love that, do you? Organised, yeah. Apple dipped in peanut butter or banana is just perfection.

I don't really want to cut it on that lovely business, HQ magazine. Or the table, perhaps. Maybe a good place. Right, we're back. We're back in the room. I love pink lady apples, do you? Yeah, it needs to be a pink lady.

I'm not a fan of green apples. Well, when I was trying to eat less sugar back in the day, I used to have Granny Smiths and they just... I mean, they were good, but they weren't it. I would not think that apples have a different level of sugar in them. They do, don't they? I think lady apples are way more sugary than green apples. Yeah, but it's not terrible sugar.

Yes. Yeah, like it's like not like a natural sugar. It comes with fibre. It's not like drinking apple juice. Like that's pure sugar. I love apple juice, she. You do, don't you? Love apples, but what I have realised is,

do not drink that on a hangover. Why? So acidic. Heartburn. Makes you sick. Ah, Zoe threw up everyone. She was vomiting. I did.

But I was in the room myself at this point because, like, yours were in the taxi, like, behind us. And I was so glad I was in that room on my own because I just had to get that over and done with it. She said she was vomiting up lumps of chicken nuggets. I just had a McDonald's, and I thought, just eat the McDonald's, it'll make you feel better. And, you know, that way you're instantly sick.

And I was choking on the lumps. But anyway, that's too much information. Wow, just about to eat some lumpy peanut butter. Here we go. Right, this is that. G, do you want some? No, no, thanks. Why not?

I just talked about it. Right, cheers. Oh my God. Mmm. Isn't that good? Oh. How good is that? That is delicious, actually.

Do you know what other peanut butter? I really recommend manny life. I think that's how you say it. It's like smoother and runny like this. Pippinut used to be my favourite, but then that came in. But this one, I think, tops it because it's got the sweetness in it.

It's made it more like runy. Oh my fuck. Yeah, I really like that. I'm going to make that hyped up to hell because it deserves it. And then nobody will be able to buy it because you've sold it out.

Yeah, exactly that and then hopefully they'll work. Like that fucking teakam iron aid that nobody can get. I haven't had that for a while. Although my flat needs a break from that because I could smell it three weeks later. Right, next up.

Can have a little picture of one today. Extra protein, yeah, and you. Oh my god. I think it's the layer of the white icing in that, that's so good. It is, but that's the best bit about an orio. The white bit. We've cooked this, we should have done savoury and sweet. We've went all over shop here.

So it's also munching on crispy M&Ms, which, in my opinion, are the best. Although Ginny bought me back some caramel M&Ms from Coachella. We ate them in London, didn't we? don't we? The way we were eating on that trip. They're listening, everyone. Me and Tammy, checked into the hotel.

You would take nobody had feathers before. There was like a shelf when you walked him. And there was like packets of crisp and like little packets of brownies. It's like they mean random like brownies and flapjacks and shit you get in little hotels like that. We ate every single pack, went up to Julie's room,

ate all them, realised that we're three quid each. We ransacked the whole two rooms of them. Then the next morning I noticed you were drinking the cans of whatever that was. That was just so caggy. I didn't even ask you about it at the time so I was too hung over.

I needed a Coke zero so badly but I was drinking fizzy apple. Yeah and then Jellie gave us their snacks which was M&M's like a couple different ones and we just sat in bed and ate like every single one of them as well. Right, let's get this everyone done with last but not at least

I'm full It's not a full meal I've just done that on the plate Yep Don't let it mix with that peanut butter That'll throw me to a place that will be It's going to sound nice on the microphone Oh this munching

On an ESMR episode Wonder if that angry customer still listens Who doesn't like is eating Agree customer How you do? Hello I'm extra weezy today Right

Crisp for you Chris for me I've tried this Nothing describes you more Than there's been a plate in front of you And you're putting the crisp on the table Not on the plate It's chaotic

Okay Right I'm full Get quite a bit on there I can't believe for licking the mayo, just eat the crisp with it. No, but I'm trying to suss out the meal, like, as its own person. I'd say it's a very silky mayonnaise. Yeah, isn't it?

What am I eating that with chips? Yeah, pizza. What'd you have mayo with? Ham and, maybe like a ham and cheese sandwich? I like it. it. I can't quite put my finger on it. I think M&S are very innovative with their ideas. I feel like I need to try it with something else because the test has got that flavour anyway. Yeah. Anyway, that was fun. Also, a quick shout out to some previous episodes. Lots of your messages about

the bookings with Fiona and Kerry and I thought that was really cute because we said, didn't we, to make sure you tell us if you book in. And we've had lots of nice. messages, haven't we? Loads. People loving it. They said they felt completely safe in their hands, or they've had a wonderful facial. They've booked in for a bridal facial for the next few weeks.

Botox for the first time. Love stuff like that. I feel like the hydro facial is the most popular and so it deserves. Yeah. We need to book in for that. I know. We fucked it now. We won't get in. This is what happens. People with as much influences as Jessica influences the world

and then we can't actually get anything, you see. Damn it. And then also on last week's podcast, we spoke about boxing. We had loads of people messages, boxing gyms in Glasgow. Yeah, no. I couldn't name one because there was loads. But yeah, thank you for that. That's really sweet for sending us your little...

Maybe we should just put a boxing bag up in the studio. Or maybe we could just punch G. You're going to go in next year off of the head, your own one of course. I also have a couple. little shoutouts as well to some of our male listeners out there because there are a few. Who knew? A lot of them

love G. They like G's strong opinions. We have some regular listeners that messages every week. Shout out to you guys. But we have a lot of our female listeners' partners who sneakily listen but now absolutely love it. What's interesting about that is their partners listen and my

partner does not listen? Well no. Do you know what's funny? Richard listened today and we're having a, not a blazing row but He messaged me saying, I was actually in Costa working, and he messaged me like, why did you leave the house for shit toll? Ra, rah, rah, did he say the studio? Yeah, whatever. And then he messaged me, but, by the way, you're stupid for not taking the iron brew deal.

I was like, ouch. I love iron brew. Why do you say yes? Free cans forever. Shut up, mate. Anyway, so somebody messages saying, listening to the pod yesterday in the car and now my husband joins in and loves it too

after saying it would be too girly for him he's now telling me to shush so he can hear everything that we say how cute we also had this voice note I'm going to try and find it give me a second how do you say this

a-o-I-B how do you pronounce a-O-I in Irish oy oi So the Oophe. So the Oib. I fully made that up.

How'd you spell it? A-O-I-B is pronounced Eva. Wow, that's a lovely name. Eva. A-O-I-B-H-E as pronounced Eva. Wow, I'll take that back. I love that name.

Right, our lovely friend, O-E-E-A-E-A, has, I probably shouldn't even say any name, should I? She won't mind. Hey, guys, just thought I'd let you know. I live in Australia, I think I've written to you as before. live in Australia, from Ireland, obviously, rave about your podcast to absolutely everyone. I'm like, I don't know if he'd get Scottish in English, crack, but you're, listen anyways. So, forced my Aussie boyfriend to listen to the podcast in the car last week.

I was just like, come on, it's good. He's always got me listen to Joe Rogan. He rings me today. He does FIFO, which is Fly In, Fly Out. And I was like, oh, what are you up to? He was just like, just prepping. I was like, what are you prepping? He was like, oh, just get myself set up here.

to listen to the podcast. I was like, what podcast? And he goes, I'll hot on your plate. It's my new favourite podcast and it gives us something to chat about when I'm way here at work. I was like,

what? The hell. Aw, and his name's Scott, so we need to give him a shout out. Hi, Scott. Oh, hi, Scott. She sounded a little bit like Cheryl Cole with an Irish twang.

Don't you think? Um, no. I thought it... I was just hearing of Irish. I was just hearing of the actual Irish one for that band, Nadine Coil. Oh yeah, but she's from Derry. She's got a right Irish accent.

Anyway, yeah, I love that. So any other guys that listen, you don't want to admit it. It's an open space now. Yeah, you've got friends. You love it. And actually, Rich's best friend listens every week. Oh. And what about the guy who wrote in?

Oh, yes. we actually the guy has written in a guy has written in he's got a lot on his plate and we need to discuss because we need to help him out this can't wait until the

a lot on your plate episode by the way it needs to be discussed yeah it needs to be discussed now immediately because we really appreciate you reaching out to us troops I've got a topic you guys could maybe discuss on the next pod I reckon right before we continue his missis listens to this pod and he's getting through us to get

through her. Oh, sneaky. I do. Yeah, I agree because I feel, yeah, there needs to be a connection somewhere if I help me right into this. So if you think this is about you, it is. I've got a topic you guys could maybe discuss on the next pod.

Bit of advice or opinions on this. Was looking for your views on your partner having lots of friends of the opposite sex. My girlfriend has a lot of male friends and doesn't really talk to a lot of girls. She goes to gaffs with males and she's the only girl there or goes on a night out

and it's just her surrounded by guys. I'm not the jealous type or insecure but when I bring it up to her about it I always say I don't think it would be appropriate for me to hang out just me and loads of girls or be at a house party

where I'm the only guy in a house full of girls. Just got told I'm looking too much into it. Am I? Lots of melty faces. I don't think he is looking into it too much to be honest with you. I feel like that is just some people's situation right but he's absolutely right it wouldn't sound okay if he was doing it no it wouldn't do you know what I mean and I think having friends at opposite sex obviously is absolutely fine but I feel

like naturally as you grow older most people do end up in just groups with girls or just group with boys just because I think people go off with like their partners and then it's their partners friends that become their friends do you know what I mean like the big group of boys I was pals of school with, I'm just, I'm not anymore. Because they were friends with your boyfriend at the time? No, just because I don't know, just not. Yeah. I feel like

it was just a drifting after school situation. Yeah. I feel like that's probably the typical thing that happens with, like male and female groups. Yeah. But then you've got a lot of guy pals. Mm. This is why I thought it'd be quite interesting. But would you hang about with them a lot of you still lived at home?

No, actually. Not on my own. I've got a lot of guy friends, but I'm very fairly with them on my own. And if I am, most of them are gay. Yeah. So, not that that would matter either way, to be honest, but I don't know. I think if they were all straight and I was hanging about with all of them, I do think Richard would probably a bit like, what's going on here then, but he's so used to me having so many male friends before he met, before he met me. So he's not going to be like, oh, you can't have them

friends. But I think if all of a sudden became friends with a lot of guys, then that would be quite strange, like the opposite side to Richard, he doesn't really have lots of female friends, even though he thrives with females, which we've established, because he just loves hanging about with us. But I feel like, and I love that for him. But I do feel like if he started hanging about

a loads of girls, yeah, I'd be like, that's not that's strange. You don't normally do that, but we are quite relaxed. I don't really mind that sort of stuff. I don't particularly either, but I just think I wouldn't actually, even if they were all my close friends, I don't think I would feel that comfortable at a so-called gaff. Yeah. I assume all drunk.

Yeah. We're all drinking at least. Just the only female. Like I feel like at some point one of your guy pals or you must have a wee sum-sum. Is she like quite a tomboy or do you reckon she just... Like really any sports the same way they are or something? Like a lot of the same interests. I don't know.

I just think it's a bit alarming when a girl doesn't have girl pals. I just do it. Yeah, well, when I was reading that out, I thought, red flag. But I don't know, it's hard, isn't it? It's a hard one, in it? Because it could be so honest. I actually really appreciate people having friends from the opposite sex. I don't think that's a problem.

No, I do as well, but is it a problem when that's the only friends? Yeah. All the opposite sex. Like, that does seem slightly odd. Hmm. Because like, I would speak to you about different things that I would speak to Jason about. And he's not even just my friend, obviously. obviously yeah so like there's things that you need a girl perspective on or like advice

or whatever not getting that from a group of guys true i'm not asking them how tough they find things when they're on their fucking period you know what i mean although they definitely get periods as well i must say that i don't know graham can we have your opinion on this one um i think if he trusts his girlfriend or his partner and she says there's nothing going on i genuinely would lean towards that's fine you trust her I don't think she's the issue. The issue is the other guys. An experience, it's always in any friendship

of a guy and a girl, somebody usually wants more, whether they say it or not. But if she's going to a house full of six guys, at least one of them thinks there's something happening. Go on. That's very true. And the problem is that he can't bring it up to his girlfriend because it's as if he doesn't trust her.

But in reality, it's like, oh, I trust you. I don't trust those other guys. Yeah, I just know what guys think. Yeah. I didn't think it from that perspective. But then if he brings it up in that way, it looks like he's jealous yeah yeah yeah i think it's one of those situations where you can't really do anything about it until you have some hard evidence

you've got to trust her until there is something that makes you feel like you can't yeah and then also if this continues she'll probably then start thinking oh fuck it he thinks it anyway and then she'll get drunk and yeah the girl usually is not always it's not always but usually innocent genuinely just thinks that she enjoys male company enjoys guy friends and prola it does genuinely just look at their friends they're just not viewing it the same way yeah yeah it's just how they're programmed

I think with a dick yeah that's a good one we have three opinions there I love that also oh wow you're right there also no he can't put me that

but it's not going to get over you can't just end it on also you know we're cutting that out stop I'm trying to stop laughing we're not cutting that up anyway yeah so I hope you keep us updated actually how you get on

we're intrigued to know your journey I feel like what I wanted to say is actually really valid so I'll say it now has always been this way that's what I said Does it say that in the message? No, it doesn't. That's why I meant, like,

was she, myself with Richard, I was always like this, so it would be weird for me to then be mates with guys, or has she always been that way, and if that's the case, and I'm not really sure. Like, when they met, if this was a situation, then I wouldn't even be slightly worried about it in a way because nothing's changed,

whereas if she had a group of guys and girls and all their girls have fucked off and she's just left with the guys, that's concerning. Yeah. Maybe the question is, why is he not friends with the same? him guys. Yeah. Why isn't she introducing you to these guys

so you can come to these parties and have fun? Hmm. But then again I spend... Then I wouldn't take Jason to a party ball years. No. Yeah, so if she's trying to say to him these are like my girlfriends

but they're guys, they know, yeah, wouldn't invite him to it. That's a very sticky, tricky, sticky vecky situation. Anyway, let us know. Another thing I wanted to discuss, a lot of things I wanted to discuss today. But when we were in London, it was a London Marathon on the Sunday.

It was. And I had a random thought. And gee, you might be able to help me on this. Was your random thought? Why the fuck would anyone put themselves through that? Because that was mine. Correct. But I was looking at the leaderboard.

And obviously, I find it so fascinating. Find it amazing. But the majority of the leader boards from over the years are from either Kenya or Ethiopia. Right? And I just find that amazing. I would like to know, I was looking into it. I thought, why are people that are Kenyan or Ethiopian? Why are they so fast at, like, endurance running? Like, why are they so good at it? Right. I'm intrigued as to why that is. I know obviously from all over, but over the years, they have insane times. I was wondering, like, is it something to do with genetics or whatnot? So I was reading into it today. And I thought about it when I climbed Kilimanjara and I thought, when I was climbing Kili, that was just next to Kenya in Tanzania. all the porters were from that from the same sort of place and they were powering up that mountain in like two days

and it took me a week right is it because they live in high altitude that they can train and their lung capacity is bigger so they can run for longer definitely plays a huge part of it if you train at altitude all the time

your blood becomes more oxygenated you can go for longer I find that fucking fascinating And I was thinking, like, is it something to do with, like, the genetic makeup of it? That plays a part too. You reckon? Genetically, yeah, absolutely, yeah. Oh, like, they're dying?

Like, the density of fibres between fast twitch and slow twitch and stuff, definitely just genetics from that part of the world definitely has a change in it. But it's also culture as well because they've been so good that we're running for so long. Yeah. Like, we always think, like, because they're from Africa and stuff, we always just assume wrongly that it's a third world country. Yeah. But they've been doing this for so long.

They're some of the best sports scientists in the world and know how to get people. really good at running so it's a culture of fitness and training in that part of the world as well you just grow up with it interesting imagine you could run like that I know that's what I mean I just find fascinating and there's a woman actually isn't it it's Sinam hasan the lady that won well she did there's a guy the though the guys were significantly faster I think it's something like 15 minutes faster than the women and but the woman that came first in like two hours 18 minutes it was her first ever marathon she was a Dutch lady but she was actually either the open I was reading into it but she was a refugee she went over to um the Netherlands when

she was 15 but I just thought imagine that your first marathon and you beat literally the world record yeah like you you won you are the winner what the fuck and the guy wasn't it the guy that came last did it in 19 hours or something what crossing the line yeah that's class but you know what did it faster than me well focused to him. You are actually right there. But I mean, what did he do? What did he do? Croll? I think you better crowed it. I don't know what happened there. I could just stop for a pint halfway. Because if you think about it, what could you walk a mile in? What would you walk a mile on average? Maybe 10 minutes.

A mile? Not 30 minutes. I'm trying to, I don't even quite work it out. I would say you walk a k in 10 minutes. No, we did. We just did a one mile test at the track. Yeah. few weeks ago yeah and their fastest guys are like five minutes 30 and some of the girls who were brand new running and walked portions of it were coming out like nine 10 minutes okay so a few times that by 26 then what the hell was that so how come it took him so long there's what i want to know because he didn't even walk it this is what i mean i think he crawled perhaps he must have stopped but like was it a bit of banter maybe probably he didn't look like he was having banter mate one in the morning fucked i just wish like these people obviously

enjoy running to an extent and I just wish I enjoyed running. Yeah. See if that could just be what your workout was in the morning, steps and your workout in the one. Yeah. A quick 40 minutes or a quick half an hour. Sometimes I feel like when I run I can get in the zone but there's other times where I'm 1K in and I'm like

I need to give up. Same I get bored. It's mind over matter I know but like it's such a boring thing for me. So boring. Do you know what else I find boring G? The ski machine. Oh my God. Hell enough. I say that to Richard Vodair

when I was doing it. I was like, I am so bored staring at this fucking monitor. I just can't do it. Don't the problem is exercise that you can watch your time or your whatever. Yeah.

Like I run, you're either watching your time somewhere really, aren't you? Or like treadmill, same thing. That machine, you're watching how long or how many things you can do. No thanks. Or the rowing machine. That's the best.

The rowing machine. No, thank you. Do you know what me and Zoe did actually? We did a really hard gym class, didn't we in London? We did. I'm so glad we did that. I was really proud of us. Because Friday night was meant to be chilled.

We just went for dinner, but we did end up having some drinks and one led to, I want to say, seven drinks. And we still got up and went to that class and it was at 9.50 in the morning, wasn't it? Yeah. and it was solid it was actually F-45's version of Pilates which I'm not mad keen

on F-45 but it was really hard It was really hard It was a mix of Reformer so the machines were there then there was like two rows and mats and that was like resistance bands

ball things that you have balanced on like all these bits and bulbs and it was a number long it was just really high intensity minimal rest yeah and hard as fuck, hit training. High intensity, Pilates.

Yeah. Gee, it was! I swear! It was, wasn't it, Zoe? I feel like high intensity, no, as in, like, what a hit workout is, I feel high intensity as in we were fucking highly tense. It was fast. No, it was actually fast.

Because they still do the same thing that F-45 do, so if anyone's... I would like to take you to reform a Pilates right and you tell me you'd it it's not solid. I would love to do it. I just don't see how... Why can't you get a couple of machines in here? Pilates machines?

Yeah, just for us. Get them in here. Gee, honestly, it's hard as hell. I would like to do it. I'd like to get stretched out and do that. It's not even stretching you out. My abs are... No, honestly, my abs are still sore

from that class and we're like four days later. Anyway, something that I would like to discuss that I've had quite a bit of stick for. last week. What? Is the SWAT analysis situation? Because why did I think it was an A and not an O? It is an A.

SWAT analysis is an O. Is it? Yep. It's SWOT and its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. And did I not say opportunities and then say not it's an A? I'm sure I did, or it was in my head anyway. And so many people have messaged,

like pissing themselves with me being like achievements and it's not even a it's an A, it's an O Moles at me you know better than me I had no idea

so I'm just clearing that up that opportunities was actually in my head but I just thought it was an A because a SWAT team's an A is it not? Tactical team

Yeah Oh yeah so yeah But what Google says there's an alternative It's strengths, weaknesses assumptions and truths Oh that's the same

as achievements you know what I mean same thing maybe one's the American version um have you uh well well yeah

basically um I would just like to know when I can fucking stop biting my nails guys because it's never going to end and I was doing so well a few years ago but anyway I wanted to get my nails in before his podcast if I'm doing that with my sleeves

that's why but that reminds me to have a little shout out for our lovely friend Kirsty Gerard, who Zoe gets her nails done by. I do. And she just opened her nail salon who'd sew nails in the south side, and it looks so cute. I'm actually going on Monday, and I cannot wait.

Yeah, she just went from being, like, in a salon to having her own salon, and we're so proud of her, aren't we? We are, and she does all those... She does, like, the best manicures ever, but she does that nice deluxe manicure where she gets all the, like, the barido hand scrubs. And you get, like, a stubber, daub.

Oh, she's just fantastic at nails. I've never actually had that from her, so if you're listening. Kirsty, for this lovely shout out. I'll actually be there before. Maybe I'll just ask her. But yeah, she's opened that, so everyone's check it out. Yeah. But I also wanted to bring me on to a couple of things that I'm loving this week,

that I've purchased for myself. Right, share it with us all name. And then I want you to share, tell me something that you've bought yourself because you've been treating yourself a lot, Miss Lady Lou, so you can tell me. See if you don't treat your shelf, Jess, who are well? Exactly. Do you well, here.

So, I bought myself, makeup-wise, because I'm a Pesca blush girl from Veeve. I bought the new sunset blush in shade Pesca, so like the cream blush version that Veeva bought out. I tried it in London, loved it. And then I also bought what I'm liking. the iconic brow gel. So I ran out of my yellow

Got to Be, which I do still love. And it's obviously like four quid. And this one was like 18 pound, but with my discount code, I think I got it for like 14 quid. And it was, it's really good. I haven't got it on today though,

but it's like soap brows but really sticks them up when you push your finger down on it. And then kitchen wise, I bought myself and my place sort of have you seen them no I've seen you post about it but can you tell me what's special about this so not only does it look fantastically beautiful but it's also a pan that you can

does like I think this one is like 10 in one so you can do all these same sort of stuff but it also comes with like a metal grate that you can steam your fish vegetables saute grill fry it's ovenproof it's also got this fantastic so they see say non-stick coating which most pans say they're non-stick and over time they're not and it's also not a toxic non-stick pan so you need to be careful when you look at non-stick because that can be quite toxic some of them I would honestly never think of any of the things you've just said well you should um no wonder men'sides are fucked a lot of people had messaged me when I posted it saying that they love it they've had it for years and then a couple of people had said they were

conscious about investing in it because it's like over a hundred quid for this pan that that would make me sick on a household object I know but it would last you a lifetime it's a bit like the Kastain parts they last you my nan get passed me down one and she'd had it since she was a young girl like they last you a lifetime we'll say they should maybe it'll come with age

yeah sorry you're saying Lickruzzi in last week's episode yeah is it not a clothing brand it's Lickruz or something I think that's you were talking about kitchen yes it's a saucepangee I thought it was like a fashion brand no it's like a castine

You know what it is? The orange pots? No. They've been around for years. My mom actually has one of them which... She does. I cooked in it when I was at yours. Of course she did. But I would just never, like, I would never think to buy anything like that.

But maybe it will come with age as a sense. You can get them so well discounted in, I think, but when Phenix was open back, I don't know if that still is a thing, but they used to sell them discounted. There's also a shop at Livingston Outlet. and there's also TK Max I think TK Max I was going to say you do see them in there Yeah well worth it

Fantastic saucepins But yeah I've got this one so I'll let you know how it is But a few of the reviews said that over time The non-stick wears off If you cook something on a really high heat So the design's cool come on a low heat Yeah So yeah it's so beautiful

I can't wait to use it But you know I'm like I get excited about kitchen stuff So if anyone else is the same as me then I'll let you know Oh I'm sure you've got an audience I think we've discovered that already I'm trying to think what I've treated myself to I did get a pair of trainers delivered to the hotel in London

I'm very what's the word known for my hotel deliveries actually it's a last minute thing that I like to do just to keep myself on my toes so I got some new balance delivery there I can share a picture they're like kind of navy blue, a bit of cream going on a wee different colour way

so treating myself to them What else for treating myself to? I just got some new jeans and stuff for the weekend there. Where were your jeans from? Zara. Oh, were they? Just some white Zara jeans, a wee top, a wee grey blazer, that was my outfit. So some clothes bits.

And then I'd got some VEve as well, but I got the powder blusher that you were just talking about. Did you get the Peska one? Yeah, I love it, so good. Beautiful, isn't it? Yeah. And do know what I do have in my makeup bag that I forget about a lot? skin, Nova. Gorgeous.

But I did put that on at the weekend because I was trying to be passionate about my makeup before I've been out of Saturday, you know what I mean? Put my effort in. But yeah, I think that's about it. I can't think of anything else I've bought apart from just endless amounts of trainers that no one needs.

I know. But I do need them. You have an addiction, Zoe? I love trainers so much. That's the only thing me and Richard have in common. Richard is, it's getting ridiculous now. I had a word with him last week. but you know um but talking of jeans i've really i think we spoke about this in jilly's episode

but i really need to invest in some had a hype around levies but they don't actually fit me very nice when i sit down and things they make me feel quite uncomfortable but the weekday jeans are unbeatable for me i could eat i think they're good as well and i need to get some of the i can't remember what the particular brand is but we can share it on the stories after this podcast but there's a particular style that I love that I think suits everyone and I really need to invest in a few more colour ways of it because what I also realised is when people were starting to wear like mid-rise and low waist again recently I was having like a bit of a nervous breakdown and I thought I could never not wear high-waisted like it keeps me tucked in but what I've

actually realised recently is high-wasted definitely bulges at the belly at the bits that I don't want to. And mid-drives is actually quite good for that because that sits on the bulgy bulge-bulge-bulge. Right. Whereas high-waist, I feel, digs in above and almost enhances the bulge-bulge-bulge. Do you remember Joni jeans from Topshop? Absolutely, I remember.

They were so high-waisted and so skinny. They were like sprayed on. That was just like... By the way, if I'm not knocking them by. When I wore them, I was like, whoa. That was just like glamified, like, leggings essentially, isn't it? I remember having a black textured pair that were more like you're going out and I put them on with like a big massive platform wedge

on a crop top. And they were the most like flattering. I actually know there's a picture on my Instagram and I'll share it. Sorry, did you ever wear American apparel disco pants? Absolutely, I've got a picture name as well. There were like navy blue ones I had. I wore them so much that where I chafed at my thigh

they were rubbing away. honestly I love them so much But see when they were out You wore them with night blazers Do you remember the shoes that came back quite recently I think I wore them with stripper heels No but that was like You wore them out and about with night blazers

And then you wore them at night with your big wedges with ankle shirt Oh I'm so glad we did that at the same time It's well to think what you were doing with them on And what I was doing with them on Because I must have been about 13 years old you wouldn't want to know what I was going up to. I'm not sure you was, you know either, which is more concerned. And, um, I always just reminded me because I just got a waft of it there, but I keep shouting

about it, but I don't think I spoke about it on the podcast, but that... I know what you're going to say and don't, because I can't get it. Yeah, why? You've got to say there's that out of perfume? Can you not? Never in shot. I've sold that out as well. Probably.

No. Fields at nightfuls are a perfume. Sorry, I had to say it. It's just so good and it's 15 quid. And everyone loves a bargy barg. Is it better than flowers in the wind? Flowers in the wind. Did we ever speak about that?

I think we might have. We did. It's the Jimmy Choo fragrance, the old M&S, New York, New York perfume that I missed dearly, but I found what it was a dupe of and it was the Jimmy Choo. And why was it called Flowers in the Wind?

Because I came home one day, sprayed it on. And you know when you come in from like a fresh, like cold day and you just smell sort of like flowers in the wind? Richard gave me a hug and he went, do I smell nice? He went, wow, you smell like flowers in the wind. We were fucking pissing back me, sorry.

Gimp. So we ended up calling it, flowers in the wind. Oh, bless his heart. Bless his soul. Anyway, should we wrap up? Yeah, that was just a very enjoyable episode. It was. I like to laugh.

Shall we end it with a song? Somebody messaging me today saying, sorry, my brain, somebody messaging me today saying, every time you say C-N-X Tuesday at the end of the podcast, I feel like you're calling us all for you and T's. I was like, yeah, we are. I don't know. That's what we wanted on Tuesday.

So yeah, anyway, see you. I forget a song. Go on. Goodbye, goodbye, my friends, goodbye. Do you know what that's from? Do you know what I'm? blue bear in a big blue house? I didn't watch that, Zoe.

I was probably a teenager. With my discreet pants. Go on then, sing it. Now it's time to go. Well, there you go from the big blue bear over there. I can't remember the next bit, which is the best bit, but anyway. Maybe people could send in a song request

because you love karaoke and it can be like a and you can be our backing singer. No, no. You could like play the drums or something. But anyway, you're getting carried to me. I'm off. See you. Bye.

Bye.
