A Lot On Your Plate - S3 Ep17: Save The Badger

Episode Date: December 5, 2023

This week on ALOYP we chat about our random thought of the week, what we've been eating and if you were the opposite sex, would you have a different career? PS..It's LIVE DAAAAAY! 🫶🏻 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy Tuesday Podpigies, it is the day of the live show. Are you excited for everyone that's coming? We're nervous. We're nervous. So nervous, but it's going to be a good time. I think if anyone's listening to this right now, but it's also coming to the live, then you're going to be sick of us. I was going to be sick of us,

but you're saying you're obsessed with us. Bit of both. I would say, don't listen to today and save it for the rest of the week because you're probably going to be hanging out your ass and you need a bit of comfort.

And you'll get your daily dose of us, well, weekly dose of us tonight. And G's going to make a really cute behind the scenes video of it so anyone that didn't make the live you can have a little glimpse. You've just got to be faster next year if we do something.

Which we might. We almost definitely will. Where should we begin? Today we're going to have a little bit of a catch-up with you, and we have a spit or swallow, and we have a couple of thoughts of the day, and I've got something to share that's really getting on my fracking tits. So, let's start with our spit or swallow.

I said to Jess, she has to try this, because me and Jason have got into a habit of, you know, how you can order from supermarkets on, like, just eating it? Oh, yes. We keep ordering these, like, at night, and that's all we'll order. just one instead of just getting in the car and going to the shop

but anyway it's the Terry's chocolate mint you get one delivered I would just get one delivered or maybe we'll get like a single late my god

so Zoe replied to my story because I posted the new Terry's chocolate orange ice cream tub you know a bit like a Ben and Jerry's tub and it is

phenomenal I don't know what it is they've got no I know what it is they've got chocolate I've had it it's because of the chunks Yes, they've got like flaky bits of chocolate through it

And also the orange is so strong in it It's like proper orange oil they use So it's just such a nice chocolate But sorry replied to me saying Have you tried the new Terry's chocolate orange mint And I'm a big chocolate and mint lover Sorry, orange and mint chocolate lover Especially this time of year

I prefer mint chocolate though to orange I would say Do you? Do you like them cream fries Yep With the creamy bit in there? I also just love like match decks after date see the things you get at Christmas and you just sit and how are we you need to whack that off your head to open it can I back up a feel is no do you like the Ben and Jerry's mint or Wonderland like that what is that the absolute best do you like mint oh aye but it's chocolate mint ice cream but Ben and jerry's oh jason uses his elbow

why just bash it on the table sort of bang oh that worked excellent No, no thanks. What? You'd be good? Yes. Are you going to say you don't like mint chocolate? I love mint chocolate. Oh, that is amazing.

It's how potent is the mint? Mmm. Oh my God. Mmm. That's what I mean. It's like the orange one. It's so strong. That's never lasting this episode, is it?

No. Mm. Unbelievably tasty mint flavor. You drive me cocoa. We are mint to be. I found it in the same thing by the way of them. Where do you order it from? I think it's a co-op.

Because they are in just to eat. That is class. You can also get it in B&M sometimes and Tesco. Imagine making a super easy cheesecake for your dessert this Christmas and then putting them just round the top. That'd be delicious actually. It's just so minty, the mint, actually. You feel like you've eaten a mint.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Whereas usually that doesn't last. Sonim. Right. What's been a lot on our plates? Well we went for a lovely brunch at the weekend, didn't we? Went to a party at Duck Club. Gorgeous there.

I hadn't been there and honestly, I think I've only been there once and it was with you for breakfast years ago. Like actual 10 year ago. It's quite an edgy menu. I say edgy, it's just a little bit of an overwhelming menu. We were saying they've not got any punctuation on it and it was quite annoying. The punctuation and the different sort of text... font that they use on the menu someone there needs to just sort that out

because it's really overwhelming especially for my brain and I actually think you'll miss things because half the page was in bold for like the title of the dish and then half it wasn't so I was only seeing like three things on the page and it was like some of her in italics

comic sounds but anyway we dug deep and chose some really delicious things I had the breakfast roll number two which was like sausage onions, cheese. Ketchup. Like, fancy ketchup.

Yeah, it was really delicious. And I had the random for me this, but short rib, Benedict. I don't actually see what you had. It was so good. But it was a lot. You know, and the sauce came over,

I thought, oh, this is going to be. Rich. Yeah. A rumbly belly. And then we had five of the most amazing crispy hash browns. Yeah, they were unreal. They were brilliant.

So we had that. And then we took some advice off G and we went to the Barras. Did you? Yeah. We went. I loved it. Did you?

Yeah. We had the best time. I kept walking around. I was just like in my own world, wouldn't I? And I can't believe I've lived here this song and not being around here. And to be fair, I haven't either.

I probably have when I was younger, but I can't remember. I remember with her pal, Rebecca, who goes there all the time, she says. And she just couldn't believe how, like, Much you couldn't believe what was there. I just felt like I was in the real sticks of Glasgow. And everyone that was around was so Glasgow, you know,

that way where they're like that, and I was like, I am thriving. I just know it. I couldn't understand a word after them were saying, but I was like, this is perfect. What was that guy shouting again? And I didn't even understand him. Don't know, but I loved him. Some of it, about cigarettes and tobacco or something like that.

Yeah, I was out in the street, like, shouting it. And I was looking at him because I was like, what? I said to Rebecca, what the fuck did he just say? But then you actually understood what he said. I did, yeah. Oh, I loved it. And then other places that are around there that I want to go to, I want to go to St. Luke.

Yeah. Bad looked really good. I've been too bad for a few times for like a venue or event. You've been for a wedding, haven't you? Yeah. Holy fuck's there. That, what do you call it?

The burger place Jason likes. Oh, Smokey Chotters or something. Smoky Chotters, yeah. I've never been there. He said it's so good. It's meant to be amazing. Yeah, I'd quite like to try that as well. Yeah, it's just so many good.

Oh, and what's it called there now? Scran Is it? Yeah Scran moved from the east end to around that area now Is that still classed

the east end The Barers? No, I don't think so No I think it's too far in there I'm thinking like Deniston It used to be Deniston Got the east

East North West South Situation kind of confuses me About Glasgow We'd recommend it to anyone Because the inside market bit There was so much stuff in there I know Cowboy Shops

I can't actually buy anything, but there was, like, really cute things for, like, wee Christmas cards or, like, re-decinations or, I mean, what else was it? There was a lot of stuff that was a bit, it was a bit like a fancier car boot sale, and I used to love a car boot sale when that was young. Yeah, like, all the children's toys and that, like, do kind of make me feel a bit weird. Yeah, but, like, for loads of families, that, that's perfect. Yeah. Really enjoyed it, so I would recommend anyone go to the barrels on a Saturday. It's just, it felt really festive and fun. I was saying, where is this big lorry?

that she was telling us about with all these calendars. I wanted it. And you also got a bit of beclava. Wow. And I tried a bit and it was unbelievable. But that was just a wee woman literally with a table in like Tupperware. Yeah, that's not even a joke.

Like she literally had one of those white tables from probably a kitchen. A bit of paper saying Baclava, 70P and she had it in like a little top of wear, didn't she? And I was like, give you one little bit in like this big Tupperware and you just gave it it back, didn't you? I was like, there's no point you'd walk away with that.

She's going to eat it right now. But it was brilliant. I don't even know who she is to give her a shout out, but I'm obsessed. This is like a random kind of thought that I have quite often, right? And if you think about it too much, you would never literally put anything past your lips ever again. But it does freak me out that things are homemade. Yeah, because they're not really tested in the kitchen for hygiene, are they?

Yeah, well, you have no idea what their home circumstances are or how clean they are as a person. You see, you know all that stuff? talk about six by Niko, by the way. Yes. The London one. Yeah. I read it in depth. Yeah, I did. And there was rodents. But I've read that a few times about that.

So far. But there was this, was it the girl that was doing like the slide along and it was big paragraphs? And her and our pals kept getting told to be quiet. Yeah. And then she said that there was actual rodents running around at their feet whilst they were getting served their meal. And they were like, if you can have your meal for free, if you just keep it down.

And she was like, don't tell anyone about this. I'm sorry, but imagine you're really. you're out paying for a meal and there's rats at your feet. Sixth Bineco is one of those places where it just went too big, too quick. They should have slowed down. It went tits up, to be honest. Anyway, less of that. So, let's move on.

I put my tree up at the weekend. You did. A bit before time usually, but because I'm away this weekend, I think I just thought, get it up now. I think that was probably the most trees I've seen getting put up on that weekend. I think we were bang on time. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I really felt quite in the mood to be a bit festive.

And then I went to Sainsborough's right, and I went and got some picky bits. And I found, because Rich was like, I'll just go and get me some beans. He's really into his like beans on toast at the moment. I fucking love that for how many candy. Does he put cheese on it? Yeah. Cheezy beino. Yeah.

And so I was like, I'll just go on Saturday night as well. And we'll finish in Squid Games. So I was like, I can't go on a Saturday night. We put the tree up. I thought, I'm going to surprise him. And mind you, 40, 50 quid down by the time. I should just got a fucking can of bean. but I was like, Jesus Christ.

Getting carried away, got olives, got all the hams, all that. And I thought, it's only for two people, but fuck it. And I found these mini-chicken Kiev balls and miniature potato skins from Sainsbury's, and they were so good. Right. If anyone can find them, get them. Because I said, we were putting our tree up on Saturday, and I would have mine up already, but because it's real, it would be deed.

Yeah. And I'd said, see, since you made me that steak, I keep saying to Jason, do you want to have steak for dinner? Oh, the steak with the chimney tree? I'm not a steak girlie at all, right? But I keep saying that he loves steak, but he keeps saying no, and I'm like, you're weird. Anyway, I said, right.

He likes steak now. Yeah, he loves it, but I think he's just like, prefers to treat it out now, do you know what I mean? Yeah. Anyway, I said, well, we get steak for tonight, like the other night for dinner. And he was like, no, why did we have that in Saturday? We're putting the chew up. And I said, no, no. I said, we're having party food. Yes.

We're having picky bits. I was like, I want all the good stuff. And I saved a TikTok down that was what's in M&S. Have you seen it? No. Oh my God. Let me see if I can actually find it because the stuff's unreal.

Of course it bloody is. M&S just nails it every damn year. I know. Let me see if I saved it. But if not, it was like, just your typical stuff, but with like their twist. It was so good.

They're so innovative people at M&S, aren't they? I say this all the time, but they just get it right every flipping year. And I always find it strange. and I know people say this now, it's a bit different because of the fashion side of M&S and did I say this in the podcast before

that my nan used to have to pay me to go into Marks and Spencer for when I was young. She paid me a five-up because the ceiling's for too low. You know how I'm weird about lighting and stuff and feeling claustrophobic? I couldn't go in M&S. It was too, like,

it was too dated for me as a kid to go in it. But the contrast between M&S food and MNS shopping, like clothing is just so different. But I've heard that it's getting good now, isn't it? Not on all. Because the bras are good, underwear's good, pyjamas, but isn't like the cargo isn't that good?

I don't know, actually. But I do see a lot of people, like, on TikTok and that, doing M&S halls for clothes. So it must be. Well, it must be half decent anyway. My mum used to be obsessed with Peruna. Do you remember that? The Peruna part of Eminet. I remember the logo.

It was like white by a wee pink bit on something. Right, anyway, I found it, right? So it's, you get four things for three, four for the price of three, right? Show me over here, please. We've got 10 mini cheeseburgers. Wow, yeah. Prawn toast. It's a bit fancy, isn't it?

I think I've seen that before. 12 crispy ducks spring rolls. Mm-hmm. 16 barbecue pork pork's belly squares. Don't know about that. Golden Hulumi fries. Pigs and blankets. That's not a bit of me that.

Right, hold on. Those are the better one. I still don't know how it worked TikTok very well, you see. Oh, Balbans. Oh, snowmen ones. Oh, look at these wee snowman. steamed bowel ones. Crispy salt and pepper chicken spring rolls.

With curry sauce. Fried fondue bites. Wow. Buttermilk chicken burgers. Crispy, 12 crispy bacon, mac and barbers cheddar cheese bites. I'm sorry. Excuse me.

All right. This is party food leveled up. My opinion, this is what I'm doing this weekend. That's so it's three for two. Four for three. Oh, excellent. Get yourself at M&S. Don't do it before the weekend because...

Do you know what else I had the other day? I had the new cheesy bites from McDonald's. I just went and picked up a wee bag and the tomato sauce that it comes with is like proper... Sounds so ridiculous, but it tastes like proper Italian Sugo. I was like, yes, Mackey's. I got quite a bit of shit for saying that I go for a wee six nuggets, by the way. that was a bit random not gonna lie

I don't think that's random yeah but I feel like I don't know it's not random you're right Zoe anyway moving on right I'm trying to think what else I can really tell you you wanted to tell us something that's been doing your tits in

yeah and I feel bad I'm going to have a bit of chocolate because this isn't bad on anybody that's doing it but there's something that triggers me in my brain when I'm watching these TikTok videos and it sort of like makes my bumhole clench and I sort of like clenched my jaw of like frustration

it's when maybe I'm jealous because my feels can't do it when people are doing beauty product holes and they do the on every single pack I can't fucking stand it guys please make it stop they show the cleanser and they go

and the next one it's the toner what are you doing I don't get it I need it to stop ASMR thing but they're taking it too far yeah okay I get it maybe on one thing but every single product you're using the more it happens the more I'm like oh my God I can't watch this anymore

I have to flick off you I'm actually no longer watching your content so make it stop that's all I wanted to say no I actually agree with you because I like ASMAR videos but only if that's the purpose of the video

whereas they're like chatting through beauty products but also doing that I'm like no that's two that's two different types of video here yeah you're merging them and it's not working I really, really don't enjoy it and it's just making me angry when I watch it Also, I know I remember being a bit of a car in here right And I'm the person that's like the sense of soul

That we moan about constantly But we were talking about this other day See the videos of people Slagging like trends and stuff Oh fashion trends I actually think that's a bit savage Yeah, I'm like let people just wear what they want Because it's like getting a right bad high

I know but it's also things that are like so... Ganny t-shirts. Which I actually do have. They've got the be in the bonnet about them. I'm going to sell mine, Hank. I'm offended. I saw one, it was like, if you've got an acne scarf and you wear it like this, where it was just basic like jeans and a t-shirt, get in the bin. And it was like, you're only cool if you wear it like this.

And it was like a full-on tech fabric. That's the exact one that I've seen. And I thought... Like, shut up, honey. I'm literally 30 fucking three years old. I'm not... I'm not a Gen Z. And I know this is just life and it's probably been happening. forever in different ways but I'm like people will be like

desperate to ask for like an acne scarf or something at Christmas and you're slagging it and like what's your fucking fashion friends like? Yeah. You know what I mean? Shut up honestly.

It's just like I get it when it's like you know how when crocs first came back and like things that are about like or like ugs and stuff which everyone does say they're ugly but the ugliness makes them cute but that's not what they're doing they're slagging like normal items of clothing.

I just feel like people like when anything gets hyped off anything remotely nice all the hipsters like to jump on the fact that it's like okay well you're not cool enough now you're not individual enough you're just basic the whole aesthetic look with the new balance

and the leggings that we all did in COVID with the blazer that gets rinsed I'm like let the girlies just be the girlies I get it if you don't like it but they probably can't afford all the shit that you're wearing and also see all these hipster people see they can start comment when they know how to clean their trainers

literally having done the trainers edgy I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm looking at my trainers like that I feel so am I right but we're not trying to be edgy but like people go out in about town and that I would see them every day going to work and their

white trainers would be black and I'm like that is not making you edgy and cool you look scruffy yeah anyway that's what's been annoying me and do you know something else that triggered me the other day and it's just actually say it hurry get it out she's like I'll have an end in last year

she's getting it off your chest no but this said trigger me I'm driving on the motorway and you know how there's those signs above you that like change oh yeah don't i know this has been around for forever right don't drive tired do they think that people choose to drive tired we're all naked do people want to go to work no they don't nobody wants to be driving at 7 in the morning and they're not choosing to be tired they're tired because their work's got them out of their fucking bent like that just annoys me like i get don't go on your mobile phone because like you shouldn't be right

but like people, that's not, being tired is not a choice. No, you're all right. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think the name that you, in the name that, like, truck drivers and people who actually drive for a living. Oh, is it? Not your regular commuter. They're not saying, oh, you're tired, honey, take a wee break. Oh, but even at that, like, if you're...

Funny. No, but even, like, you're a big truck drive and you've been driving for 12 hours, right? Excuse me, I'm getting passionate. you read that sign you go oh fuck it my manager won't mind if I'm 10 hours late if I go for a nap like what do they think the solution is yeah you are right there is that way

like people are only driving because they've got somewhere to be like they can't just stop because like they're feeling a bit knacker I've definitely done that what drove tired no pulled over and went for a nap on the fucking road I have actually driving back to Leicester

it's brain numbing I mean maybe we just need to normalise St. Your work, do you know what? I was fucking done in. I spent for a wee nap. I'm late because I'm done in. You know what else has been getting on our tits? Sorry, just one more thing.

And it's not getting on our tits, we're actually concerned. Can somebody who works for the RSPCA or whatever get that badger off the M74 because it's traumatising us? We can't watch it anymore. I can't see that one more time, I can't. It's just a lovely little black and white battery

has been dead on the side of the road for a fucking six months. And then there's foxes. There's just so much roadkill. Just someone pull over with your little spade. I so hope her pal Holly doesn't listen to this because she'll be greeting again. Oh, she will be. She will be.

And just one more thing before we move on. Just going back to fashion trends, our friend Rebecca in our group chat made a good point when it's in Belands coming back. Because surely it's their time to shine soon. By the way, it must be because they've not been around in a fashionable manner for quite some time.

We were just, we were in the Timberland shop on Wednesday and I was sitting there, I used to, like, that was my thing. Was it? Timberlands, like, everyday jeans, blue jeans and timbreins. The tan colour? Aye. I'm telling you right now, if they come back, I'm buying a pair. But there'll have to be redesigned somehow, though? No, I don't even think so.

But you took your jeans in them, though? No, the jeans would just be over. Yeah, that might look quite nice, actually. I think we're starting to trend. Do you want your Timberlands? I'm asking for them for Christmas. Yeah. Because chunky docks are nice, and that's a similar sort of vibe.

I know, and they're nice with the jeans over. I think Timberlands would work. I think we do. Cool away, do you think the tan? I think we go old school, like, traditional with a tan. Because back then skinny jeans were a thing, and now obviously the more... The baggy-loose gene over the Timberland

that's very rough and ready. We're coming for you. Look, you heard it here first. Okay, right then. I've got a few thoughts of the days that I thought I would just tell you. I also have a really funny story actually before I go on to this.

I had my new Bose headphones in and Siri is connected to my headphones. This was only like two days ago. I was cleaning away because I've got this thing where I'm really productive if I have my headphones in at home with my shoes on, we all know this.

And Siri is connected to any time somebody texts it will read out like something to me. That does man nothing. And I don't know how to turn it off and I really should. But anyway, it goes to me rich man is calling you

and I was like what the fuck forgetting that there's a man emoji next to Richard's name I was literally like whoa your bruce gamble like you're falling

fuck a bit of an answer I just thought that was hilarious anyway a few thoughts of the day number one cups of tea why do cups of tea seriously I need to know

and I'm saying this I want to know the science Why do cups of tea taste so much better in a china mug Or certain mugs in your cupboard You think my tea always tastes really good in that cup But there's certain cups that you have And it tastes like ass I need, and paper cup tea, awful I need to understand what is the science behind

The material that the tea is in To make it taste so different Especially a china mug My nan always said to me, I'll only ever have a tea, have a china And I don't understand why can we can we can we can we can we can we no I know what you mean do you know what I think it might be

the style of mug will probably make a difference to how the temperature holds yeah do you get what I mean by that yeah because see those mugs I have in my house the grey ones that are quite rounded and almost

like a ball they keep your tea too hot it just never cools down okay so then I think by the time you drink it it's just lost the flavour And I think similar to a wine glass, when it's a nice thin rim, it tastes nice because china glasses are quite thin.

Yeah. But if you had a thick mug, it just, I don't know, sometimes it does taste. You made me a great tea the other day. That was in the Lucrecy mugs, wasn't it? Yeah, they were nice. Are they China, though? They'll be cast iron. Well, I'm guessing if it's Lucreusee parts, same stuff.

I don't know. And what's a normal, what's another mug made out of? Like, what do you call that? Pottery? Ceramic. Ceramic. That's it. That's what I'm looking for.

Yeah, so I just wondered if anyone is listening to this, if they could actually inform me, why? Do you think it's maybe how they're washed? You wash China different than you would wash a normal mug? One goes in a dishwasher or one doesn't? Maybe, by the way. So maybe whatever you're using is like a dishwasher tablet versus what you use to wash something in the sink might impact.

Maybe. Because you know the mugs you get that are like, like themed mugs like say you got a like the kind of square mugs that you get people pictures and that on yeah I think they're good to drink out of

but I don't like using that sort of mug because I like a cute a wee cute mug you know Lees of Scotland you know the they do like the tea cakes and the tablet yes the red logo

they sent me a mug once and it is my favourite mug to drink out of and it's the one like you get from has it got like their logo on it yeah yeah and it tastes class Why is that? Don't know. But that's something to think about.

Thought of the day. My second thought of the day was when I was in Tenerife. And I thought, you know how us as British people, we have multiple ways to greet people. You say, like, hi, hey, all right, what's up? Hello.

And if you're Scottish, you say, like, all right? Yeah. But you know, when you're abroad, they always say, uh la do people in spanish in spain or wherever do they have other ways that they say hey hi hello but do they go ooh uh-oh like i need to understand do they have other way to say hello because to me i've only ever heard the set the standard that is hello in a different language i mean surely that's something like uh la comastasse but that is like more than just the hello

part. I know because if you do hi and Spanish it brings up hello so let's do hey it doesn't bring up a pillow I'm saying ola he and oh eh ah eh hey is yeah but you would say hey like eh let's play it eh I think that's just more like a right let's say higher so hi and hello and it's just ola. Let's do haya. But is that a real word?

Haya's just la as well. This is what I mean. So I need to know that. So if anyone can write into me that is lived in there or is Spanish or whatever, Italian, give me all the ways you say things. But it needs to be just hello.

Okay? Yeah, like greetings. Yep. And my final thought of today. is what I want to discuss with you all. Napping. I had a nap yesterday for 20 minutes

and it was the fucking worst thing I've ever done in my life. Couldn't I get any more? Napping is disgusting. I felt like a piece of shit on my shoe. I woke up like, what is the hype around this? Do you know what it was? It was my gut. Like, I woke up and my stomach was confused. I felt sick. I felt lethargy.

I felt knackered and miserable and I was like this is not okay no I honestly couldn't agree with you more on that napping does fuck all for me it is quite simply the worst feeling in a world and the world waking up for my nap and I've heard there's some sort of science behind it

where there's a time where you can nap before you fall into like a deep sleep I can tell you now I was not in a deep sleep and it was still awful no I know I think it's 40 minutes I think if you sleep over 40 minutes you'll wake up feeling worse but it's meant to be if it's less than 40 minutes that's why people say 40 winks. I'm going for a 40 winks

you've heard that before? Yeah I have yeah because it's 40 minutes so you're meant to like that's just meant to give you a boost of energy but it does the complete opposite for me I'm the same I feel even worse I feel that kind of like car sicky way and then I just feel knackard for the rest of the day like even worse than I was before because Rich is a napper and he was like oh you should have slept

in like a cold room the reason I nap by the way is because I've got a really had a restless leg you know that restless leg to get that feeling where it's like just after you get pins and needles and it was in my right leg

and I thought I need to nap or something and it just did the opposite effect so I agree with you quite a few of my friends are nappers

and it just those are mine are one friend messaged me like you won't be saying that when you have a kid I was like more reason to not have them Thanks for having to know Thank you

But I also went for a Thai massage last night Of Jilly's recommendation And I'm a big Thai massage lover And it was the best Was it good? I'm passionate It was the best Thai massage I've ever had I asked for a deep tissue

But obviously they do it in the Thai way And it was called Fuck I can't remember now What makes it tie? Well the woman is Thai and it's also more like pressing as opposed to and also they stand on you

they lift you on the knees so you're cracking all sorts they're very strong women I thought a Thai massage when they like lubricate your entire body well they can do I said so I don't put oil in my hair because I had my hair done but

I don't quite sexual did you think it was she happy ending like on an inflatable lylow covered an oil just scooting out oh no but she was um she was called amina and it was called something tight

it's on Paisley Road West so if anyone wants to get a really good tie massage go for that and that's it I just get a bit tickly do you when you're getting a massage no she was getting right in there

right on a button interesting can have a bit of chocolate you help yourself right what's next Zoe well we thought we would ask you all what you would what job you would do if you were the opposite sex that you are right now,

well, that you are as a person. But can we just discuss why we said this? Yeah, because I just said to Jess other day, we were sitting having lunch in a Kiko in Glasgow, and I was looking out the window, and a couple of workies walked by, and I said, if you were a man, what job would you have? And then it just started to open a can of worms, isn't it?

Yeah, because I couldn't answer your question. I couldn't answer it either. and the question was would you do the same thing if you didn't i said she no i would absolutely not be an influencer and it wouldn't have a podcast like this and we did have a few people reply things like stating the obvious like a woman can do any job of mankind yeah we get it it's not that deep like we weren't saying it like that we were just genuinely asking you the question would you do the same job if you're the opposite sex or would you do something different because it depends on all sorts of things like your upbringing who you hang about with let's let's not let's say the

obvious obviously there's certain jobs in the world where women excel in it more so than men and vice versa there's a big gender pay gap in certain places as well like would you benefit from it if you're a different sex or would you not and Zoe said to me like she'd be a footballer and I thought I actually wouldn't because if I picture me as a man I'm a lazy fucker and I can't be asked to become a footballer it's a graft no but I know I agree but I just think as like if I was still quite like the way I am but I was a boy Yeah, that's what I mean. If you are the way you are now...

Like, I know that I would be into sports as a boy. What, the way you are now? You're not into sports now, though, is we? No, but I was. I used to be. Right. So I've still got an interest in football more than a lot of girls do. Like, I still know what the scores and that are. Okay.

And who's winning and all that. So if I was a boy, I know I would be really into it because, like, all my family are. Yeah. And I think one of the reasons I fell away from it is because it's like, it just doesn't, it just isn't the same. been a big football fan

as a girl? No, I guess it totally depends, isn't it? So I think I would be into that as a boy but I think just most boys say they probably didn't want to be a footballer but if you were good enough you would have been. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Gene, if you were a female, would you still be a personal trainer or a gym owner? Probably, yeah. Yeah. I love what I do so

I don't really care if a male, female or in between. Yeah. See, it works something like that for some people, doesn't it? I know. Some of my message is there as well as saying a doctor the same job that I do. However, I'd be better off because I'd be getting more money. Well, exactly. Although if I was a female fitness instructor,

I could probably make more money online. He probably would, you're right. Yeah, good, because you could sit down. All those stairs traps. But then pat out, no, the first thing I actually said was I think I would be a banker. Oh, a lot of people said,

what's the other one in London? Tradey. Stockbrokers. Yeah, I think I would quite like to do that sort of thing as well. I went out for drinks once in this circle area in Shoreditch and it's like a different world and it's very male dominated and the women there you can just tell that they're like

getting past about the office I don't know I don't mean that bad to them but you can just tell that the way they were panting about and I thought they are milking this up they are lapping it up because you would I just think you said I would be a good salesperson yeah thank you would be a good salesman I think I'd be a good saleswoman though

depending on if I was selling something that I truly like though yeah true I think you could do I could talk about like loads of different things because at the same time see just being a working going to your work getting the job done and home and then you just don't think about it anymore like that's a dream yeah shooting the laptop and then what you're laughing at you no I mean out on the building sites what do you mean a workie oh like a tradesman yeah I like I'm on a building site like I'm building hussies Yeah, but that's cold and hard work

I know, but it's so manly I just, I've got a severe If I was a man I'd have to split personality Because I just can't decide here Would you want to be in a suit Or would you want to be in working gear? Yeah, I think if you put me Like if it was still partly me

It would be working gear Fireman Because they get four days on four days off Don't they? A lot of people wrote in saying Fireman That's a brave job by the way Yeah, it is

What else are people saying? Quite a lot of people did say like join her wear those manky sexy trousers in my house would be stunning because I'd build anything I want but girls like a guy in working gear because it's like I thought that girls are really good at DIY though

there's so many girls I follow on Instagram that are amazing at DIY I couldn't be less interesting building something no same actually I bet you would be a workie no that's what I mean you need to say what you'd be if you are you but a man

right I actually did make my decision yesterday and I forgot all about it. Like, we went through all these... You'll think, you're picturing your dream man here. You're not picturing you as a man. No, I wouldn't want to be with a footballer. No, you wouldn't. I would quite like, like a dirty worky, I think.

Dirty working. I'm going to get dumped. And Daly walks in your house covered and shit. No, I know. Like, there is posing cons to all. And then Jason's just at home all day, like, and he can fill up my hot water bottle and all that from me. And I'm like, you know what, that's just perfect.

Imagine dating a fishmonger. No, I couldn't, sorry, I'm out I'm sorry, but do they smell like that? No, they will because I remember my good old days working at McDonald's, I'd go home and I was thinking of McDonald's. A fish market is probably the worst

up there for the worst smell for me. I know. I do think, how do these people work in that old every day? I agree. But the conclusion that I came to yesterday was, I think I would be a sports, like

journalist, presenter, host type person. You want to be like a Gary Neville? Yes. Yeah, I want to be like, you know, that Josh Denzel that was on Love Island And that was a brilliant job And about it I would like to do that because I just think I know this is sexist and I know this is terrible to say

But the females in that line of work just don't get the same credit as the guys, they don't No, and I have to agree with you in that And I think as a guy who's very passionate about football or sport They're not interested in what the women say are they really They're not So that's why I think I would never be interested in that as a female And that's why I think I like the thought of it if I was a male yeah good point that that'd be a good fun job i say footballer but only because like fucking why not right

you would take it yeah if you're good enough you would do it yeah but then you get the injured knee and you're fucked mm-hmm like half of bloody glasgow say they say that to them was what waller wants i i was thinking about it last night because i was looking at some cool guys and that that i follow on instagram and i really like the whole fashion line thing which is probably what i did go into but you know when they're like really cool fashion designers americans guys and they're Yeah, so edgy. They hang about with all the cool, like, hip-hop stars, and they go to all the places, and they style them for all that.

I think that would be a sick job. You just know everyone and everyone, wouldn't you? Love it. But I think it would have to be in America. I'd have to live over that way to be the dream that I'm thinking in my head. Yeah. Or London, I guess, but boring. You could just really explore a lab in you, can I?

Do you know what else would be a really cool job as well? I suppose you could do this as a male or female you know all those people you see on TikTok that grew up around the jungle when they were a kid and all the animals and that loved them and then do you know what I mean? Tiger King sort of people yeah

and they were always coming back and seeing all the animals that they brought up as they were a kid and I feel like the men are really good and strong with all the big animals I'd probably be a bit of a wuss if I was me doing that yeah

do you know what else is cool a pilot but I hate flying. Have you ever had a female pilot actually? Never, I've never seen one. Me neither, and I've never had one either. But I'm saying that I couldn't be a pilot. I don't like flying and I'd probably be the same if I was a guy. Oh, I don't think I would be terrified if I saw a female in the pilot seat

when I got on a plane? No, I wouldn't care if my pilot was female. No. Would you do? No. I wonder why it has male dominated, though. Yeah, interesting. I think it's just all to do with, like, see if you were driving somewhere. The male always tends to drive.

I think I'm a way like as much as you're a pilot you're flying a plane I think it's quite engineering if that makes sense there's a lot going on like you need to know a lot about the plane

it's not just can you fly it or drive it like you need to know a lot of all the systems and temperatures and oils and all that and that's very kind of man type stuff and yeah

yeah it's very technical car mechanic but on a plane have you ever seen the cockpit no well I have I've been in a cockpit before

that's cool and real life my mom was really good palsy by a guy at school or Shuffam who was a pilot and he was just coincidentally flying or plane somewhere once so he took his out of the cockpit I love that I was really young but all I remember being like was

whoa because there was Burton's fucking everywhere yeah minefield do you know what else would be a cool as fuck job and I think I always think back in the day I would have been like a man but I think as a woman now you'd just slay so hard but being a DJ yes like Peggy Goo type

cool as fuck house DJ man or woman but I think as a woman I actually think it's cooler for a woman now to be a DJ than a man Yeah they stand out a bit more don't they Yeah But you need to have like

Rhythm Ah you need to be cool about you because If a DJ is awkward it's not okay I'm not sure out of the Yeah The swag you know Hmm Anyway quite an interesting topic

We could go on all day about that You could And like we say yeah you can No matter what sexual or what you identify, as you can do whatever, but it was just more of a, if you were you as a person

and you were literally born as a guy, would you be different, do you reckon? And my answer was yes. Rich, Rich, just joined us, actually. Rich, we've got a question to ask you. If you were born as a woman and you were you now, what would you think you would do?

Be serious. Do you reckon job-wise you would do? because I said footballer but well we discussed footballer but I said that me as a person I'm lazy I couldn't do what you do I know like the idea of it but I don't think me as a man I could do that because I'm lazy what would you do

I'm unsure of the question so if you were born a woman would you still want to be a football if you're a woman no okay so what would you do with them trousers houses. Straight to the rippers.

I don't actually know what I'd do if I was a lady. I think I'd probably do something to do with sport, but I wouldn't play football. I'd probably, what's a cool female sport? Volleyball. Oh yeah, volleyball. Sexy. Yeah, it looked pretty sexy in the old...

CrossFit? Oh, actually, CrossFit, yeah. Gymnastics, actually. Yes. By the way, being a gymnast is the new thing, I think. So glad. I feel like loads of people put their kids in and out these days.

But that's what I said to you, Rich. The one thing I would do would put my child in a language lesson, piano lesson and a gymnast as a kid because it's the three things I wish I could do now. I feel sorry for that kid. Why? Piano lessons.

Richard, at a house party and you've sort of busting out some tunes on the piano. It's been a pleasure, guys. Enjoy yourselves. Imagine that. Everyone would love you. They surround yourselves around the piano when you're literally up. That's what used to have at my house party.

That's the only reason I want to do it. They want this weird classical penis. I just want them to be slay at house parties. That's a pure Hollywood dream. Like that doesn't happen. Look, I had a, I had the grand piano in my old house, right? My mom's house.

Yes, we know. And a guy. Humble bride. Because no, no, no, do you know what it is? My mum came back from some sort of exhibition. She went to some time and went, I just bought a piano.

And I said, why did you do that? And she went, because I like it. And no one ever touched it. You've told us there. No, I know. What I'm going to tell you now is the guy that I went to school with used to play on it all the time like you said and that was great. That's what I mean, are we?

It was some buzz. Well, there we go. That's it. Some of the good food for thought there for you all and I love those sort of random thoughts and debates. That's our Spanish for the week. Because you know what? We've got a live show to go too.

We're getting a hair and makeup done. Probably as you're listening to this. Getting our glam on. Oh, yeah. And we hope we enjoyed that episode and hope you enjoyed the live show. And we really can't wait to meet so many of you. And if you're less than less before, you better fucking cheetahs on.

We mean it. We want you to be so loud. And if you want to get up and dance, feel free, honey. Go for it. Right then. See you on Friday. See you on Friday. Bye.

Bye.
