Happy Tuesday everybody Hope you're all doing well This is episode 16 You haven't got as long at all Only four more weeks Four more to go And we're gone for good Imagine that, that'd be sad

Not really, just kidding How are you all? Hope you're okay And I hope you enjoyed last week's episode And you learned a lot from it It was quite a long one wasn't it? It was very long Listening back was painful. Slightly painful, yeah.

I actually enjoyed it. I learned a lot for myself. There was something that we said and I listened back and I was like, that's the complete opposite of what I do, but sound. What was it? What was it? We were talking about booking the hotel first

over the flights and I was like, complete opposite what I would do. But I agreed and I went along with it. So that's fine. Yeah, it's a good one. Well, I hope you all enjoyed it. But today we're going to speak about what's been a lot on your plate and hours, physically, emotionally. I feel like it's been ages since we've done this.

Yeah, well. I'll be one ahead. We're one ahead, yeah. That's right. So we've got a lot to catch up on, and you guys have sent us a lot of questions. But we're going to try to keep it brief and shorter. So let's start with our spit or swallow. I have a, I've got sent this today as PR from Camden Town Brewery beer.

You've seen these about. I see them and served in quite a lot of... Fancy, crafty places. No, I've not seen them, but that's the same kind of texture as that can was the other day. Oh, yeah, that was nice. I like that. Is it a sticker?

Yeah. Yeah. I never trust cans with stickers on them. Why is that then, Jay? Well, because see, no, but I know what you mean, right? Because see, if that sticker wasn't there, I can imagine, that would just look like, that would just be like a silver can. What?

How else is it then? Like a print? Like wrapped. I don't know, but I like that texture because I'm weird with holding cold things and it makes it not as cool to hold. What was it we had? We actually went to La Petit Cock, the best sandwich shop ever on Byers Road.

Small Cork in English. Can you say that? Yeah, why can't you say that? Sometimes I forget if I could just say small cock on here without it getting bleaked out. She could say what you want, it's your podcast. But we went there, didn't we, at the weekend? Oh, Zoe's pulling her face.

By the way, we forgot to mention it's a bellini-flavored lager. That tastes like soap. I mean, it's all. right I'm not enjoying that at all we're spitting we're not swallowing this one I mean I could drink that I at my nose is like flaring and everything it is so we just before then we started this podcast I was itching my nose and so we said that she catches me itching my nose now and again and she says that because my nostrils are so big that my finger just fits up the whole thing and I was like look I can fit I can fit my whole thumb up there and just just

just sits right in no do you know what it is you do it like and really like deep conversation and you're not like sorry I've got an itchy noser you're just like really like am I whilst like and you know you don't know you're doing it it's because of my allergies this there's a clip on the Instagram you're doing it and wouldn't notice and sorry everyone it's just funny it's like the aggression and the speed you do it at fucking love that anyway I also picked these up for us to eat the legendary Colin the caterpillar and the caterpillar but they are I don't say new but I think they are newish the many ones they're new ish they've been announced for a wee bit now Colin the caterpillar mini

rolls and I first discovered them yesterday and I absolutely loved them would you like one I would like one of these absolutely yes do you want a Connie or a Colin Colin oh we may as well just did a cotton he doesn't want to eat female ass today. Just mail. Colin is them. There you go. Collins La Petit Cock.

It's the faces that people love. Do you know you can get a big face? Can you? An M and S? Like just the big chocolate face. So, yeah, we went to La Petit Cock. It looks like a buzzword. When did we go there then? Sunday.

Saturday. And we had a little stroll around Kelvin Grove. But we also had a can of this juice, just going back to the sticker. the texture of the sticker of this cam. And was it called Lemonadeo or something? Was it homemade lemonade? Homemade lemonade in Made in Glasgow

and it was really nice, so nice actually. Mm. So yeah, a little small bit of shout out there. It was a sunny summer's day, wasn't it? Jess, I can't stop talking about the guy that fell off his bike. So basically, we were sat in Kelvin Grove and this guy fell off his bike, bless him,

and it was all Zoe spoke about for the next hour. Because it was quite, like, ah, ah! And we were like away at the top of the hill. We weren't right next to when we could hear the ass, do you know what I mean? And then all these people ran over at Helping because obviously like Glasweans are obviously so nice. And that wasn't sarcasm.

And there was a paramedic. She was like taking it a bit far once she wore the bandages and all that. I'm a paramedic! He only had a scraped elbow. No, I actually did have quite a bloody elbow. Like both of them, I think his knees were brushed as well. Anyway, the thing that broke my heart the most was obviously he would have been

mortified. I would say it was about like machina age, maybe like late 20s or 30s, right? His bike was broke. So he then walked back the way that he came with his broken bike and he had to walk his bike away through the park and it was like, did he?

Did he? Did he? Like the wheel and it was that really touched me. We hope you're okay mate, whoever you are. But yeah, it was a lovely summer's day, wasn't it? And we just went to yoga, which was so hard, at a place called Reset. Based in, where is it, the urban offices just off the M8, which I've just been texting

Zoe nonstop since saying I need an office there. Like, I fell in love with that building. Yeah, it's cool. And you get a free membership if you have an office in there, you know. Do you? Well, we better get sorted. Of yoga. Don't worry, gee, I'm not going to cheat on, I'll win.

But it was a good yoga class. That's the hardest I've found. ever. Was it intense? Yes, it was Graham. I know you're not for all the watches and all that, right? But what I will tell you is I burn 300 calories and that is a lot for yoga. Zoe, he was sat in, you were doing yoga

in a sun trap. She was sweating her tits off. And she said to us, don't go to the back because it's got a sun trap. And Zoe was like, well, it's the earnest fresh left. But I would rather be in the sun trap and sit at the front of class all the time. Especially yoga, and in all these positions that you don't know if you can do

until you're trying it, do you know what I mean? And the woman in front of us. We forgot to discuss her. She was about... She had, like, her head in between, like, our fucking arse cheeks.

She did... She was about 70. Maybe not that old. I feel she was about 50. She's just a grey hair. A whole head of grey hair. I mean, you've got her fucking deed next week.

But she was like, you know where your legs are apart, stomach flat, but not only was a stomach flat and a head flat, at arms were there. She was like, the back of the legs. We were like, what the fuck?

Honestly, she was incredible. Honestly, loved her. You know the one thing I don't like about yoga? I'm not sure on the feet out thing. Oh, I thought you were going to say the breathing. Oh, and that. That makes me piss every time. Somebody tell me.

It's a... Yes. Why are the aggressive breathing out? Nobody breathes like that, though. Breathe in. She goes, and when you breathe out, she's like, at the back of your throat, go... And I'm like, why? What does that do?

Doesn't relax? me just freaks me out I know but anyway I would really recommend that place it was lovely and it was very aesthetic yeah it was very aesthetic and because I've been doing Pilates quite a lot I thought I'm gonna go in there I'm gonna breeze this it's gonna be fine fuck me I was sweating you had you had your finger wrapped around your little chubby big toe at one point Trying to hold your leg up. We're busy with my...

No, I hate getting the giggles. It's too much. Anyway, we must move on. We must move on. I told you, we'll be speaking for 40 minutes this week. Yes, she's female. So, what are you been up to then? Well, I suppose that's what I've been up to.

And then, on Sunday, I went a big walk, around Shatler O, which can anyone spell that? It annoys me. I actually think their marking team really fucked up there because no one can spell the name of your park. I've had to write it and we've been running there for their running club. I've had to write it like 10 times in the last two weeks

every time I spell it wrong. Like I can't even give it a bash. Like I'm so off. I thought that way about many places in Hull in Scotland. I know but that specifically is just it's just not okay. in the train says, like, shuttle a row. Anyway, I went in a big walk there, so I got loads of steps in over the weekend,

and I also did a workout yesterday morning at the gym, and it was quite quiet, so I really went for it, and, like, I didn't cheat out any of my sets or whatever you would like to call them. And now I'm waddling about the place, so thanks to Adam for that. But he'll be pleased that I'm doing my workouts for this as the second week of consistency. I love that. And you missed out that I made you dinner. Oh, I did. Sorry, Friday night.

We had a wee last-minute dinner date, me, you and Richard. Oh, that was Friday, wasn't it? That was Friday, and it was gorgeous. Yeah, made you some Thai meatballs. Turkey Thai meatballs with peanut sauce and rice. Something that I would never quite simply think of. But it was easy, wasn't it? You were there watching me cook it.

Yeah. I could definitely do it myself. I have bought turkey mince, actually, to make turkey meatballs this week. I wanted chicken mince. Which I saw it in Aldia, so you definitely do have it. So that's what I've been up to, anything from you. Oh, you went to see Post Malone. Oh, yeah.

What a guy. That was probably one of the best concerts I've been to. Just him in general is such a nice, nice person. And he was hung over because he was out the night before in Wonder Bar. In Kong. In Kong, until 6 in the morning, some people were telling me. And did you see, well, I knew this, but the guy went on the radio this morning on Capitol, but he gifted him 10 grand.

So he, the busker in, sorry, not the busker, the guy that does the guitar in Wunderbar, post Malone went in and then as he finished his set, he asked him to come over and join him and he said, well, you come with us so you can sing with us in Kong. He went, how much would you want me to pay you? And he was like, well, nothing, you're post Malone.

And then he just started speaking to him like, he said, what you're up to? Like, what, he's like, I'm trying to save for a house, well, I'd like to write me own songs. And he paid him 10 grand. that's lovely that isn't it what a guy and just you know what so you should

yeah you've got the money and I just think like even throughout his songs he was like constantly thanking the fans and just saying how grateful he was he started doing these sort of emotional speeches just sort of like if anyone's if anyone around you's feeling down make sure you check in on them

and it's just one of them like really nice humble people and then there was a guy in the front row near the standing area that had a sign saying can I please play guitar with you and then he apparently walked out and put his thumb up and I wonder who that was. Got him on stage and did a song with him and he could tell he was shitting himself and then he swapped t-shirts with him. He said can I swap your t-shirt with Postman just got his t-shirt off and gave him. Probably worth about a grand. Probably stinking.

Probably stinking yeah. Booze and sweat. But yeah I loved him so much, went for dinner and then finished, finally finished Happy Valley. What did you think of the ending? The ending for You're going to say spoiler alert? Oh yeah. Okay, so spoiler alert. Fast forward with this 30 seconds if you don't want to listen. But the ending for me was, it was a nice ending. But I think the season three was my least favorite season.

I actually preferred one and two. But I need to speak about that, Sarah Lancashire. And I've said this to you at the weekend, but I can't get over her acting. Yeah, she's amazing. She is the most unbelievable actress. She must be like that in your life. But she must be a police woman and refuse to believe she's not. I actually think there's a form of acting that it's cool that she does

and it's like, you know where someone's like eccentric and they're overacting and it's like pantomimey and she's actually the opposite end of the scale where she's quite subtle and she's really dry and very much like how you would be in probably real day-to-day conversations? That's what I mean. I know acting as people's like profession

but I just, I can't see when I'm watching something, I can't believe that that's not them as person. Yeah, she makes you believe that she would be the best police woman ever. Which I suppose is what they're trying to do, but even if someone's quite shit at it, I still can't believe that that's not who they are as a person. It baffles me that.

Anyway. But yeah, I just was in awe of her, and I can't, I'm not really someone that looks at films and I'm like, oh wow, that was brilliant acting. But she was that good, you do notice it, and you're like, I can't believe she's not acting. So, yeah, loved Happy Valley. But no way near as much as I loved Queen Charlotte.

I'm still not over that. I've not watched it about one. That's one of the best things I've ever seen. Right, well, Let's go on what's been a lot on everyone's plate, shall we? Anything else to discuss before then? Nope, time's up. I didn't have a random thought?

I give the face. So he's cry, rolling me. What is it, Jim? I had a random thought, okay. Can I say it? Yeah, you can. I saw it on TikTok right, and I thought, I'm going to have to write this down just to speak to you both

because I know G will know the answer. I need you to tell me, right, hibernating, okay how the fuck do bears hibernate for a hundred days or through the winter

like I would love to just sleep through the winter and then wake up in the summer but how do bears where do they go for a start what the fuck do they do for a hundred days how do they pass poo and eat and

I need to know and it doesn't make sense I would guess they like bury a hole in the ground I'm not sure And what, just sleep How do you, what does hibernate mean? What does it mean? I don't know the answer

Is this the white bear Coming out of the tree? Yes! That's what I saw! I'm assuming though For animals, hibernating is like They're not inside Under then, they're just in a wee Like say like a cave for example right?

I would say them and their family are in there for a hundred days They like quickly hunt and go back And they stay there for a while but when they're not hibernating they're roaming the forests I don't know if they actually I generally don't know if they sleep for the entire time like just knocked out or they're kind of just dozing in and out

and just don't come outside I think it's more that that's them like chilling how do you sleep for a hundred days no they're not sleeping though they're just chilling in the cave are you sure no I'm not sure but this is just my guess they're chilling in the cave but then when they're not hibernating they're roaming they're running about they're hunting their do you know what I mean

Because there was a video that went viral, which is obviously G's seen it as well, but it's a white bed. Why do they not see these things? Because you're not on TikTok. I've seen it on TikTok, do you? Was it Facebook? I've seen it on Instagram,

but I kept seeing it as like people were reusing it as like a meme for CrossFit stuff. It was like after a hard workout and it's when it comes up with the thing. Yeah. But it was a bear and it came out of a cave. But all his fur was flat and then he shook his fur and then all the fair was flying off. And he looked fogged.

Like he'd been sleeping for 100 days. And I thought, that blows my mind like why is it bears that do that I know all the animals hibernate but not for as long as bears Google says during hibernation a bear's heart rate drops to as slow as

eight beats per minute now humans like 50 so it's super slow bears sleep in dens they dig out and hauled out trees logs caves whatever and they hibernate without eating drinking urinating or defecating so you're little sleeping for

so you're wrong Zoe they are sleeping lucky then anyway that was my thought of the day it was amazing and I was just thinking I would love to do that I'd like to fuck off

to just ignore the winter I don't know you do anything why can't I do that yeah say that what did he say you do that what did he say is that not what you do anyway pretty much

okay let's go into it right right right there's a few holiday ones which obviously is I can't thank you for the word relation to past subjects, I suppose. The stress over holiday outfits heading to Ibiza for the first time,

so want to look good and fit in. You don't need to fit in, is the first thing I'll say. Ibiza is the one place. You can wear whatever the fuck you want. Inclusive. Also, I do feel the stress of someone else wrote something about holiday or weather,

and it's, like, you want to enjoy the weather, but you don't know what to wear. You have a meltdown every time. going out in the sun. That's me. Yeah. I'm good at dressing for the winter, not the summer. Yeah, I'm like that as well. I love layering. I hate getting my arms out. But then it's like your arms, your legs, and then you're like, oh, it's all to my belly

and it's all to my face, and then it's all to my toes because I've not got, like, I've got a bunion, do you know what I mean? You've just said I've got chubby toes, so fuck as well. But at least don't have a bunion. I'm actually having a lot of trouble with that big toe. I think it might be broke. Great. No, I'm actually going to go to the doctors about it. Anyway, my advice that is just fling me over the fuck on.

It's kind of feeling joyed sunshay. Well, my advice would probably be, similar to Zoe, don't stress about it. Honestly, once you get there, you never give a flying fuck. And if you're going with loads of girls, you can all borrow different clothes with each other. No, that's true. And I suppose you do want to look a little bit nice,

but get some nice floaty things, some crochet things, colourful, bright things. but also accessories accessoryise yeah that's key wear what if you feel comfortable and then just get an absolute

fucking belt or a necklace on yeah or a belt gorgeous yeah a wee crochet bag some nice shades and your sound

um right no one when it's right to end a long term relationship married with a child well by the sounds of it you already know love Jessica

oh she's just messaged in saying that I mean that in a loving way No, no, this is true. But that is quite stressful. I know. I think you just need to, yeah, you're mad and you've got a child, but I think in these situations you need to put yourself first, am I right? Yeah.

Ditch the kid. Ditch the kid, yeah. Do you have got a kid, do you know that? No, I think, way up all these options here. So she's obviously feeling a type of way, isn't she? She's obviously thinking, right, she's probably putting her child first in this situation as well because she's thinking, if I do leave this situation, right for the child blah blah blah she obviously still loves her husband to some degree of course

but I think you need to take some time for yourself and put yourself first and just think what would be right for you more than anything because and maybe work out the reasons you're feeling this way because it sometimes might be something that can be fixed yeah but if not I think people really um panic about splitting up a family for their children but I mean we came from broken home We did, all right. And that's exactly, I always think, like, if I grew up in a home where my parents weren't happy and they were always arguing, I would rather them grow up around in a home that was more calming and, you know, you're getting two different experiences. You're getting to go to your dad's house. You're getting to go to your mom's house and seeing them co-parent in a positive way.

Yeah. It's a lot better than being growing up in such a hostile environment. Yeah, exactly. And I also think when you're kids younger, you just put it in a positive way. like for me it was always the case for me and it was just always like as you said like you can do this when your dad you can do this with your mum's

like you've got a set of Christmas day yeah like all that kind of stuff two bedrooms or whatever yeah if you're young enough or even if you're not that young as a child like if it's put to you in a positive like good way for you you're not really going to see the negative unless

you've got negative energy but also from the parents perspective as well not just from the child because obviously she's probably thinking from her own point of view yeah it's never it's not always a bad thing i've got had friends that have split up from their partners with as a child involved and they actually of course it was sad when it happened but it's been the right thing over time and they now get a spare weekend where they can spend time with their friends or go away and while the baby's at their dads or whatever and it's actually worked

out for the better having being in a split family but also i would say don't walk away from it definitely try and make it work look at options um and you can definitely work through you can definitely worked through it um someone else said we've just bought our first home my brain is filled with kitchen and living room ideas well first of all congratulations welcome welcome to hell can on um I do you know what I honestly think we're decorating don't look at anything on the internet it's overwhelming it's so overwhelming there's too many vibes and weight routes you can go down it's too much it is too much and once you get into it you just obsessed for like a few weeks redecorate every second week, I think.

We laugh because I've just walked into this podcast earlier and I said to G and Zoe, I says, both of you have got an idea, I want to change my spare room and I want to make it a kitchen and make my kitchen in my spare room. And they both looked to me like, great. Gee said, can you be there when I tell Richard this conversation? So we're going to do that after that's recording? Obviously the answer will be, shut the fuck up, Jess.

So yeah, I feel you, you can be there for days looking at all different options to redecorate the house, but just go with your vibe I think Pinterest is quite a good thing I do think Pinterest is good but I do think if you're I think people get like caught up in trends I think home trends has become a big thing

and it can be like you can't just buy like a new couch every week for a night out you know what I mean like it's a completely different situation here well that's the area that I made which we spoke about a lot in season one I did this dark living room which is still lovely and I do still like that sort of interior

but I then went back back to basics into sort of a more of a blank canvas and then I've assessorised with more seasonal things which can be changed. Yeah. And I love it. Someone has said laser therapy's been on their plate. You get that? Love it. Said it changed my life and the sun came out. I would love to know your thoughts.

Oh yeah. We're big fans. Well, I'm a big fan of laser therapy. That must actually be good. You know when the sun just comes out and you're like, fuck, I've no shaved my legs and I'm no get tan on? So we haven't thought about shaving my armpits. for a year. Like, I don't even think about it anymore. You know, if I'm doing like an upper body exercise,

I don't have to think, oh, fuck, we're going to shave today. I'm ready at all times. For gymming, sexing, you name it. I'm ready. None of these things happen. None of those things happen, but I'm just saying, I'm ready. I'm pretty much happening. You're ready for it.

Exactly. Which is the main thing. Yeah. But my legs are not finished yet, and they do trigger me slightly. And I still have a few hairs on my toes, which is really. annoying and my belly button I'm like she keeps forgetting to do that is it not true that you can't really get it done if your hair's too fair that's correct yeah there needs to be a big enough

contrast that's why you can't fake tan because the laser machine will pick up on the darkness of your skin and it will start to technically burn your skin so it needs to have a good contrast of the dark to the pale skin right okay I'm with you I mean I've never put myself through that pain anyway No. But also another thing which I'd love using that I speak about on my Instagram is that ameliorate, which is amazing body cream for getting rid of the strawberry skin. The strawberry skin, so you know the dots you get when you shave. So if you can't afford laser, I think it's definitely worth looking into body creams like that, that exfoliate that way because you'll have a smoother looking skin without the expensive laser.

Gorgeous. Someone's, a wee shout out here. Yeah. Starting a new job tomorrow at new hospital. Wish me luck, please. On your go, Jess, I'll be speech. Congratulations. You're going to have the best time of your life

and everyone's going to love you and just be yourself. By the way, I actually have a really... I'm talking about hospitals. I had a really funny message that I need to read out. We had a lovely message off a lady that was giving us some ideas for episodes to do and things to talk about.

And she said, what obvious thing did you not realize until you were older. So she thinks saying that we should ask our listeners what that is. And she says, mine was, I thought nonce meant someone who was up to nonsense. I called someone at work and I work in a children's hospital. What, so she called her child a nuns? No.

She called someone that was up to no good a nonce in a children's hospital. Honestly. Let's know if there's anything like that that you didn't realize until you were older. I love that. That's so funny. Someone else would show in saying being so fucking hungover, it's a joke. Oh, God.

I love when people are that hungover that, like, everything's funny. Oh. You know, when you've got one of the hangovers and, like, anything anyone says, you'll just sit and push shit down. Remember we like that a few weeks back? Oh, when we went to Glen Eagles. Oh, yeah. We were just in one of them moods, weren't we?

Yeah, like a bit ridiculous. Oh, God. Right. someone else has said being in the limbo that is your notice period before it leave for a new job bust and I got doing all the extra work so I can't be accused of having switched off already it's one of those things isn't it where you feel like you're completely switched off from the job because you're so ready for a new you know a new experience but also you don't want to burn any bridges when you leave because you never know what will happen so you want to make sure you leave on a good

impression but you also just can't be fucked I feel like the bust in the gut is worth it because you would never want to leave paranoid that they thought you were right or that you weren't doing your job do you know what I mean? There's so many people that have different attitudes where they're like, oh I've just fuck it, I'm just leaving. I do actually think there might be

a two-week legal situation for a notice period. I didn't know that, but someone was talking about the other day. But you don't actually need to do a notice. That's correct, yeah. I think a lot of companies always turn around and say to you, it's better you not being here. Certainly the industries I worked in,

it was like, garden leave, they call that. you not be here than it is because we know like the value your work's not going to be the same so you're better off just yeah and also it depends in what sort of field you're working where you could also sort of take data with you can't you or yeah so a lot of people like if you're going to like a competitor or something say like at a beauty company or whatever they would just put your garden and leave yeah i would say honestly your leaving date will be here before before you know it so just continue what you're doing you obviously feel like that's the right thing to do um and then you can just leave on a high absolutely

another one go get your smear test girl's very important she said going for a further smear to confirm findings and having to wait four feet four weeks for results yeah so important guys we did speak about that in an episode in season one but it is pain free slightly uncomfortable for literally two seconds of your life until they drop it and they need to do it again I can't believe that happened to you first time is when traumatized. Cairnon, actually really, really was pleasantly surprised

at the experience, but anyway, we haven't spoken about that. It could seriously save your life, so if you are contemplating, booking that smear,

this is your sign to do it right now. Pick up the phone and do it now. We're not asking, we're telling you, yeah. Right? But a few foodie ones.

Yes. Went to Mexican Wacha in London. It was absolutely amazing. What happened? Well, this is spelled is what I would say watcher. W-A-H-A-C-C-H-A-C-H-A, but maybe there's a typo.

Oh, maybe. But that looks like wacha to me. Love that. Anyway, recommendation for anyone in London or going to London. Another London one, Covent Garden, seven dials. Seven dials market, yes. Yes, yes, yes, they said. Yeah, really good there.

We hands up emoji. Woo-hoo. Yeah, nice there. Oh, this is like a would you like or would you not like question for us, right? Roasted nuts and Cathedral City Cheese. Yum. I think that's delicious. Yes.

It was wee tongue, I'm old you are. Yeah, yeah. The sick one, so we were giving you the tongue back. Yep. Mm-mm. I tried Wing Stop in St. James' Quarter and it was unreal. I've had that in London before. I've never heard of it.

Nice, chicken wings. It's like green and black sign. I'm not eating off the bone But you can have more than just the bone It's like they do nice sauces and stuff Anytime I think about chicken wings now I think about as they frog's legs we had in France They were delicious

Not kind of like I don't know what kind of makes me feel a bit funny Frog's legs are like little thin bones though aren't they I'm actually going to London tomorrow I'm not packed I'm after London tomorrow yeah I completely forgot about that I know I did

Good luck to you Right Right, last food one, shall we say. Mm. M&S. Oh my God, I don't know how to say that. Oh, I know what this is. This is the new sauce, isn't it?

Calabrian. Yeah. Calabrine. I think it's pork. Is it some sort of pork? M&S. Calabrine. Chili and wild pheno ragu. Best are in Smato Pass sauce ever.

Sounds delicious to me. Yeah, I bought it day before yesterday. I'm not used it yet because it's one that you buy on the shelf, but I would never, I'll be honest with you. This is a bit like the whole like freezer. You'd never buy a sauce. stir in sauce, would you? No, I wouldn't, Zoe, because I can make it.

But I'm just saying, I bought this. There must be one night a week that you think, fuck it, a wee microwave meal. Never! Or like, fuck it, a wee stirring sauce? Yeah, I would feel like a stir fry sauce. But maybe not a jarred sauce for a pasta. No.

To be fair, I actually don't do that either. Like dolmeo jarred pasta. By the way, I'm not being a snob here, I'm just saying I wouldn't think to buy that because my mum never did that so I grew up and learned how to make my own. No, I actually do make my own pasta sauce as well to be honest, which is quite groundbreaking

but I just wonder like it must get exhausting that egg couldn't put in. No, I enjoy that. All these things you were chopped them up there and you were chottom up something called lemon. Right, listen, lemon grass, but was I not happy as Larry in that kitchen? And to fine, fine, fine pieces.

I was. It's therapeutic for me. To just go, boop. On the top, a little sprinkle. But it was delicious. Hmm. So you're saying it wasn't? No, it was delicious, but I wouldn't have known if that was enough of it or not.

Do you know what I mean? I like to only make an effort with things that are visible. So you know all these, like, you know when you said that your favourite cuisine was Thai? Well, you know, lemongrass, the thing you're slagging off right now, that is in most of your Thai dishes that you love. So you must like it. No, and I'm not saying I don't like it, but I don't even. no way to purchase that in a shop.

Right. Well, that's what it was, everybody. I was bashing lemon grass and chopping. We also had spring onion in the meatballs. Yep. Finally chopped again. Finally chopped. I made the meatballs by and everybody.

I rolled them up in the balls. You did. And I got ordered to make small balls and I made the biggest meatballs you've ever seen. And they're not small, Zoe. But no, I think it's more, you feel like more greater achievement

when you make something from scratch I feel delayed gratification you need to put effort in there oh that's so technical so technical delayed delayed graphic gratification

why can't I say that word gratification gratification I did make honey glazed carrots yesterday and I was quite proud of that your roast look good me and Jason are really nail in this roast situation

every Sunday roast dinner I'm not having a Sunday without a roast dinner anymore you nailed it You needed some more gravy on your picture, though. That's the only thing I will say. You slag my den, and I'll slag yours. You needed more gravy. But I'm a beginner, that's horrible.

I'm like the news started at all. You need more gravy. I'm not telling him that your gravy was bad. You needed more on your plate. It was still the packet gravy right enough. Oh my gosh. Anyway, I think that was a lovely short and sweet episode. I think that's 20 minutes long.

30 sex. Guys, she doesn't love you anymore. She wants to go. I think that was perfect. I just want to stay. Look, we spoke for a long time last week. We did. That's technically, just see that as like part two and three.

And this is just a fresh new episode. I think we've covered all bases. We have. Do you know there's one thing that we've not spoke about Zoe? The guy. You remember the guy that we spoke about a few episodes ago where... The girl with all the guy friends. Yeah, his girlfriend was hanging about a loads of guys.

Yeah. He sent us an update. So just a few things. the same response to previous pod. Number one, it's my sister who listens to the pod all the time around the house, so that's what got me listening to you guys. And she obviously thinks it's weird.

Yeah. And it's just not something I would really talk to her about my relationship. Number two, yeah, she's always been like that since I've met her, which we thought. Two years ago, but over the last few months was a lot more frequent. So the update, I picked her up from a night out last night

when she was out with all of her mates, the lads. I'm saying this is like an angry, like the next morning off text. And he's texted straight away. He's text the girl is a fuming. And I talked about it to mine, thought nothing of it. She went into the bathroom to take a makeup off and got ready for bed. While she done this, her phone was left in the room next to me. And her phone kept buzzing and it was one of the boyfriends trying to ring her.

I ignored it until the third time in a row when it annoyed me that he wasn't giving up. So I double-click the lock button to turn the sound off. Now if you know when you do this, it locks the phone, but you can see the notifications on the lock screen. So when I'm done, I seen from the same guy on her phone, the text said, I can't even read this up. Oh my God, I'm sort of stressed at my box.

This is revolting. I'm hard. I need you to come and fix it. No. No, no, no, no. I'm ill. So I had three options in my head. One, bring it up to her as soon as she came into the room. Number two, ignore it and just trust her.

Three, or wait and see what her response is to the text, then deal with it. I didn't come up the Clyde last night in a banana boat, so I chose option three. So my girlfriend comes into the room. I'm lying in bed, waiting for her to pick up the phone. She takes the phone and I can see her looking at her phone. She opens a text from her guy pal, and she replies this, and he's just put loads and loads of laughing faces. Like, that's what she replied.

Now I don't know about you guys But all of the things to say to such a text She could have been disgusted and replied back That's inappropriate Or she could have said to me Oh my God, look who's just sent me this or anything But instead she sent just laughing faces So it's safe to say I was fuming

So I called her a taxi home Told her she needs to leave And said to her if she's confused about why Just go and talk to her boy pals Hot, hot summer is in full session Lock up your mum's sisters and girlfriends You said his name is coming lots of love.

Yes. So he's fucked her off. Good, because I was going to say dump a whole offence. She's obviously shagging him. Why would a boy text to that if there hadn't been even if they haven't been shagging

there's been flirty sexual banter at least. Absolutely. And that's a dumpable offence. Always one of them once more. My bags would be packed if Jason's seen that come up on my phone. Graham was correct. I'd come into the toilet

and all my stuff had been a pile. Honestly, actually imagine if a guy sent you that and you just replied laughing faces and your partner saw that. See, even, can I just tell you something even if I was single and I received that text

I'd be sick everywhere? Like, I just don't think that like, I'm just not here for that kind of language. Cannot. Well, do you know what? Good for him and what I will say is I think we were kind,

I think we were being polite, we were right. We did want to say that was weird. Looking back, I did. But we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because like you said, she's always been like that from the start so we're like okay maybe but but then i think he's also written him because

something something was telling him something yeah the god's always right yeah well good on you son well done mate and we can't wait for your hot boy summer go on lad mm-hmm i wonder what ages because maybe we could set him up maybe we could he sounds a lovely guy ask him what age is and then we'll let me have a little look at his um let me have a little look at his picky wick oh okay okay he's private right well he looks active right is he up a is he up a nervous or something. I'm not going to say because we're keeping him an on, but yeah, he's doing something active of the sort

and he's got a nice name. That's what we're going to say. Right, well that's helpful for those single girls. Go looking Instagram for something and he's got a nice name. Perfect. He's got a blue top in his pick. That's what are you getting? I need to know who this is now as well.

He loves us, by the way. We love you too. And you know if your sister's listening, then your brother needs some help. She needs a wee shoulder to cry on Okay then Thank you for that That was lovely Happy to leave now

Yeah I guess so We've only got four episodes left And you want to keep it short But whatever Sometimes you just need a quickie Do you know what I mean I have one yesterday It just doesn't need to go in that direction

Every time it just doesn't Graham's like fuck Like what I said was enough Of like I'll be just A wee tongue and cheek my dad listens to this podcast now, so I need to behave. I'm a stepmom. He texted me the day saying,

I'm really proud of you, Jessica, but there's just some things that a dad doesn't need to listen to. And I'm like, yeah, I guess so, damn it. Well, that is true. But he didn't mind. He loved it. He said he was really proud of me, so. Oh, could they know what happens behind closed doors, don't you?

Exactly. Anyway, thanks so much for listening. I hope you enjoyed that short, sweet one. Yep, and we'll see you next Tuesday. Good news. Bye. Bye. Thank you.

You know what I'm going to be.
