Starting point is 00:00:00 Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy Thursday. I was sitting here. Why is it always awkward that you want to start? Again. No, I like that. No, we'll do that again. welcome welcome back my gosh
Starting point is 00:00:45 that is such a contest that's like welcome African little oh my gosh I think we should just keep it in and go with it basically guys Zoe is trying to do the intro for this podcast So we'll show you. There's simply nothing wrong with what I'm doing. Yours just keep laughing.
Starting point is 00:01:03 So we can pop in both of the ones that she just tried to do. Happy Tuesday, guys. How are we all? Fab. Did you enjoy last week's episode? Hope you did in the bonus. We've got another juicy bonus. Cune up.
Starting point is 00:01:18 A wee extra, one I. I've just been to the gym. The endorphins are flowing. I feel that you are doing this like panic thing. What? Like before holiday panic? Why? Because I went to the gym I did it so I could be on time
Starting point is 00:01:32 for the podcast. But if I get there for half-night class every Tuesday and I'll never be late for the pod. I'm not panicking at all. I completely don't care no more. That's good. And by the looks of things, our flight isn't even going.
Starting point is 00:01:47 No, that's not a good attitude to have, just. It's not, but... As we will get there. We will because we're lucky, lucky girls. But yeah, this podcast will go out a week after, but if you are aware that all the flight is getting cancelled So it's, we are a little bit stressed.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Not one going in and out of the UK. Not one. Not one single one. Anyway, to just, you know, get us in the mood for the Ibiza buds. We have another small business shout out, which is... Cakes by Rebecca. More cakes, more calories. Just what we need.
Starting point is 00:02:19 So what we have here is a Malteseer, Rocky Road. Trey bake. Tray bake, short, bready thing. and a raspberry and white chocolate cookie sandwich. That looks dynamite. I would like to try a bit of that. Yeah, rip that apart. Half it.
Starting point is 00:02:38 So this... Ooh, is that my marshmallow in the middle? I'm gonna try a bite of this Maltesea Rocky Road. Can't be a Maltesee. Mmm. I can't really bite anything because my teeth are so sensitive. You didn't pick up my favourite one, which was the pistachio cookie pie. Did they sold out of that?
Starting point is 00:02:56 Yeah, I think they keep saying. selling out and it wasn't ready yet for today. Because we were early customers, you see. And then yum yums that they do. Oh. They're good. So good. But yeah, we've got some Maltese's and raspberry and white chocolate cookie pie there.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Maltesea tray bake. Looks delicious. Chocolate for breakfast. But we'll save your ear holes and won't munch it through the microphone. But it's yeah, based in Blantzai right near Win Fitness. You can come here and have a nice little workout and go there for a cake after. Perfect. What a perfect combination eh.
Starting point is 00:03:25 So, the big old question. The big old question. Yeah. What's been a lot on your plate? Oh, we went to Connect Festival, didn't we? Yep. On Saturday that was fun. Really, really fun.
Starting point is 00:03:35 And we did the chef's table, which was quite a different experience at a festival. It was like a six-course tasting menu. Like fine dining, but at a festival. Super delicious. That lemon tart at the end was gorgeous. I think that was my favourite part. Same.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And the first course was some mushroom thing, so we didn't eat that. But the rest was delicious. It was very delicious. chose fish, didn't we? So that was really nice. Kinect Festival was a very wholesome festival. The music, at the start of the day, probably wasn't really minding your kind of thing, but they had a lot of good fans there for that type of music. And it was good. There was loads of things you could go and do. There was like flower
Starting point is 00:04:13 workshops, yoga, wellness chats, live podcasts. Loads of like food trucks and bars and cocktails. Yeah. Some amazing food trucks actually. And at the end of the night, we both had an incredible burger and these catsu fries and fuck my life they were good weren't they so good we were also so irrationally hungry so hungry and i think we met about a thousand a lot on your plate fans and it was overwhelming at one point oh to say that to say the absolute minimum the absolute least overwhelming yes zowie was awkward as fuck actually somebody messaged me it was it was can i just say it was a screaming that really got to me people
Starting point is 00:04:56 screaming. Some guy, shout out to Ewan, said that I was the most famous person he'd ever met over Joe Biden. Yeah, also bearing in mind he also said that to me so we've got a few different levels of famousness
Starting point is 00:05:14 here. And his friend just kept going, ah! We were fucking pissing weren't me. It was so, they were actually the nicest group ever to be fair, and they loved the podcast, so shout out to you guys. And then I was in the toilet and I got cornered by a girl in the toilet she was screaming in my face
Starting point is 00:05:30 everyone, I think when everyone had a drink they just love it and I love it as well to be fair I kept saying to you I was like this is just so lovely everyone just loves you Zoe and somebody replied to my story saying oh my God Zoe's having pictures I was like oh yeah she's lapping it up now
Starting point is 00:05:45 well what am I supposed to say people know fuck off remember that girl that was following us as well when we're walking to that tiny changes and she was talking to us both but Zoe was just walking in front and I was like she feels awkward
Starting point is 00:05:58 she went, does she feel awkward or something? I was like, yeah, this is what she's like. Well, she was kind of talking to you mainly so I just thought this is an opportunity to not have to be involved in this. No, it was a really, really, really good fun. Dana, I'll definitely be going there again and Fred again was incredible.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I love that man so much. I was really fascinated by like the buttons they was pushing the whole time. His DJ skills. Yeah, but it was like so intensely like, How can your fingers move that fast? Yeah, loved him. So that's probably what's been a lot on my plate.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I went to a real nice brunch place, actually, in South Cycle Cozy Cafe with Richard on Thursday. I had three different brunch dishes, actually. Turkish eggs, some sort of halumin egg sourdough thing. And he had, I don't know, but it looks amazing, like this stuffed potato bravus. Very delicious, definitely recommend. Nice, that was what I had.
Starting point is 00:06:54 What's been a lot on your plate? well same kind of thing obviously we were at connect festival and I was going to speak about the burger there yeah which was so good and also a new thing that I've realised well we realised the last time we're speaking about pickles but I just don't take pickles off anything anymore I'm proud of you do you not think that's good because you had that big papa it was the big papa it really it opened my eyes to the world of pickles it did but apart from that eating wise I really my diet as in not a healthy diet just food in general couldn't be more out the window as in about one meal passes my lips a day my routine is just off shot to shit
Starting point is 00:07:39 a snack on maybe packets animal biscuits a lot and your party rings and party rings yeah and occasionally have like a dairy milk you know the little bars like the skinny ones and honestly that's about in the house at the moment I do think it when you work for yourself it's really difficult to do that because you're not having your rushing for your breakfast in the morning and then you have your lunch break like everyone does
Starting point is 00:08:03 and then you come home and you look forward to cooking in your house because you're not been in it all day can't be fucked to cook in your kitchen three times a day no way I can't be bored doing it three times a week never mind three times a day
Starting point is 00:08:12 anyway and what I was going to say was on my plate emotionally is just what we've been touching on about going Ibeater packing I hate packing I hate packing I always just hate as well my ideal situation
Starting point is 00:08:25 would be able to pack a few days before and like my case would be shut. Yeah. But you can't do that because you've got your toiletries and your hair stuff and that to go in. So then you've got the open case like lying about the house and you know that would send me west. Anyway that kind of is why we thought
Starting point is 00:08:42 about this topic. Because. And brings us on to it because Jason is actually an Ibith at the moment when like what five days before we were going and said to me I'll be taking the iron by the way. and I said well
Starting point is 00:08:59 you won't be taking the iron because what if I need iron you know because I'll be at home for that time so this is because he always takes the full size home iron and his suitcase and holiday I just can't get him head around that
Starting point is 00:09:16 and he honestly neither can I've experienced it a few times now but he refuses to believe that you can get an iron in most hotels now I'll back him up. Sorry. I will back him up on this and say there is no better iron than your home iron but I can't believe he would waste those precious KGs in his suitcase with a big
Starting point is 00:09:40 fuck off iron. But also who's that passionate about an iron? Especially in Ibiza. Do you know what I mean? It's not like going to a wedding or something. I know. So we just kind of, I was telling justice and she couldn't believe it. So we thought, what are the most weird, bizarre,
Starting point is 00:09:59 irrational, fucked up things people take on holiday without fail? And I actually don't know if I've got anything that's that weird. I do the typical 45 pair of pants and things like that. I am a different jammies
Starting point is 00:10:15 for every night type of person, whether I'm in holiday or not. You seem to find that quite... So weird. I'm using. What? Two max. No, two, minimum two, max too
Starting point is 00:10:26 but what if you're away for a week yes sorry wasting wasting space with pyjamas and if I do I'll just wear pants and a bra to bed because it's boiling
Starting point is 00:10:40 you use wear a bra to bed yeah like you know like the little prime comfy ones I just honestly don't think there's anything better and putting your fresh pair of jams on at night no matter where you're in this house no I totally agree but I'm not waiting I'm not putting seven pairs of pyjamas in my suitcase
Starting point is 00:10:55 But they're small little skinny shorts and vests? No, still now. Anyway, I actually think we're away for five nights and I actually think I might have only packed four because I could only, I only have like four shorts versions, you know? So we're moving up. We're getting better. It's getting better.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Another thing I did see people say was like when they're adults but they still take like teddy's like cuddly toys, right? And I do have a story about this which is very off brand for me I don't understand but I'll share it with you all anyway so when me and Jason were first going together obviously I love pigs we all know it
Starting point is 00:11:33 we've now got the pod pigs so that's fine so as a gift I think it was our first birthday together or whatever he got me a wee pig toy and was like obviously you love pigs cute whatever but then we decided to basically give this toy personality and treat it as if it was a human being so it's now your baby
Starting point is 00:11:51 So it's now my, it's our boy, it's our child, right? What's he called? Pooops. Anyway, I'm really exposing a lot here. Poops. Pooops, the pig. Anyway, cute me saying, I've got some pictures of it on, you know, like on location I can put on the stories. Anyway, I think because it all happened because we were away for an overnight.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And I think, yeah, it was an overnight and I got my presents at the overnight. So that kind of started, you know. Pooke's travelling home, etc. Like, just obviously taking the absolute piss out of it, right? But then, I don't know, then I start getting all that toy story way. It's where it's like, and I'm like, I can't leave it at home. Yeah? And I thought, what if it is actually real?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Do you know what I mean? You are fucking crap. Like, when we leave this wee thing's real and it's just left on its own. So anyway, I just, like, jokingly, was taking it, like, when I was going away for work, in the case, stayed in the case. Or maybe I'd take it out when I was in my bed at night, who knows. but no one sees because I'm in a hotel room on my own you see
Starting point is 00:12:54 one work trip were away and I leave him in the hotel room I've left poops because he was in between the quilt and I always make my bed when I leave a hotel room and this one time I was in a rush to go to what I mean so I didn't and I left poops and you know I had to phone the hotel room
Starting point is 00:13:10 and say you need to go and find this toy Zoe I got it posted back to me oh I see sorry I see what you mean I thought you meant you went out for the day and you left the pig in the hotel room on its own It's not, my handbag. That's why I thought you meant. I was like, Zoe, I don't know if we can be friends anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:25 No, it stays in the bedroom. Yeah. No, I left as and checked out at the train station on the way to the airport. And then he got it and posted back? I got it posted back. And did he arrive in safe? Arrived safe. He was brand new.
Starting point is 00:13:38 But, so I'm kind of, I get it. Yeah. Which is really, I mean, you know, I don't really have like a soft bone in my body. So it is really off brand. But see, when you start making the personalities, toys you just can't. Yeah, but I do think it's like the superstitious things as well. It's almost like
Starting point is 00:13:55 I know for you. Like a lucky charm. You can't travel safe without it. Because there was one time me and the girls were going to Vegas and I went to visit my nan. She was working at like the bake shop in a church and this woman came up to me and she was selling these like little knitted. You might have seen it with me actually. It's like a little red and I'm not
Starting point is 00:14:12 religious in the slightest but it's like a little red knitted pouch and it's got a cross inside it you can take the cross out and it had a little poem in it and she gave one to me my friend Leanne and my friend Holly and still to this day that cross she said to me safe travels tomorrow and she gave me the cross and was like this will protect you wherever you go blah blah blah and still to this day it's like a superstitious thing I can't travel anywhere abroad without this cross in my purse else I feel like I'm not safe
Starting point is 00:14:42 so yeah I want to say that's the only weird thing I take possibly in like far too many toiletries ridiculous amount of toiletries to the point where I'm like I don't need this many body products at all I do think like going back to the things that people can't take as well obviously it differs depending on the item but like a wee toy or the thing you've got
Starting point is 00:15:01 or like I don't know maybe like one of the wee pills or something it does become like a safety blanket thing and a lot of people have like travel anxiety I do a wee bit I'm really not a good flyer or an airport attendee so like it's that it's in your head like if that's my
Starting point is 00:15:17 bag. It's comfort. It's so weird. Yeah. But I won't be bringing poops to Ibiza. Why not? He could be our mascot. Because, see, any time we have went away, he's not been in attendance. I think there's a fine line. See, when I was on my own with work, it was kind of like,
Starting point is 00:15:35 I would like send Jason a picture of mean poops, you know what I mean? Like, it was kind of like a funny thing. Whereas, with the girls, it doesn't need to be there. It's a girl's holding, he's a boy. Jason can have poops. Poobs is a boy. By your way. By your back, yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:15:47 we asked you guys what was the most ridiculous things you took on your holly bulbs I've actually been pissing at these I know there's really bizarre things so someone drew in saying that her parents started a game
Starting point is 00:16:00 of hiding a particular pair of socks in her or her sister's luggage whenever they went away and we started doing it to them as well whoever had the socks last had to hide them and you'd often randomly find them hidden in your case mid-holiday
Starting point is 00:16:13 I think that's quite fun anyway we've stopped this game now but for some reason I still always take the pair of socks with me whether it's on a holiday or when I work abroad. I never intend them wear them, but it feels wrong to go in holiday without them. That's like what we're just saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 It's like now you just can't go away without having them in your suitcase. I think you would feel anxious if you never had them anymore. Oh my God, we've had so many replies. About 50 pairs of knickers for a week's holiday. And I do feel like knickers, you forget how many times you wear a bikini and your bikini is essentially your pants for the day. And then you wear one pair of pants at night. why the fuck do you need 50 pairs
Starting point is 00:16:49 but then is it because you never know if one day you might wake up and say I want a hundred like a day trip today exactly and then what have you only taken a specific pair of pants or one down? Mm-hmm A lot of people are taking their own pillows I had a thing
Starting point is 00:17:04 when I went to the Maldives I took my own pillar case and it was honestly a lifesaver like a brushed cotton white pillow case and it smelled like home and that was nice She didn't take too much space, but it just felt and smelt like,
Starting point is 00:17:19 how I want to put my head on the pillow. And also someone did say that they take their own sheets. Oh. Which I could actually get on board with because I inspect the bed. Yeah. Like nothing you've ever seen before. If there's one crumb or pub
Starting point is 00:17:35 or some sort of like crispiness on that, like it makes me feel so well. Like stained? Yeah, like it's the stay. It makes me sing. But I actually think it would make me feel more uneasy changing a pillowcase or a sheet. I just put the pillowcase over the top. Well, yeah, that's a better idea.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Because I think if you started to get, you know, to the root of the situation. Why do you say breath? All that breath that's been on that pillow over time. No, no. And then you start thinking about cutleries stuff as well in restaurants, send you fucking west. A foldable mirror for my makeup. up. This is the best thing ever because when I go away, sorry, so he's traumatised.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I take this gold folded mirror from Primark. I bet you a lot of people listen have got this specific mirror. It's still on sale now. I have bought another one last week because my friend smashed it when I went on holiday last time. But the amount of times I go abroad and people ask to borrow my mirror, I'm like, fucking get your own. So get this one pound mirror from Prime Mark. It's brilliant. Someone did actually say that they used to take their own cutlery. What are you looking at? A fly. Tea bags.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Lots of people take tea bags. My mum does that because nothing's the same as tightly, is it? My friend takes a pop-up washing basket. I'm so here for that. I'm just here for making that hotel room a home, you know? Do you know, I love all these ideas right and I think they are perfect. But for me, all I'm thinking about is space. I knew you were going to say that.
Starting point is 00:19:15 You know that I cannot pack light. So for me, these are just not even an option. But I'm feeling like, for example, a pillowcase, a pop-up basket, those sort of things, you can always fit a wee stuff on top. Yeah. Like, see, like a flat thing, you can always shove that in. Even when the case is half-zipped, you can just, you know, slide it in.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Shover right in. So that's maybe how people do take these small things, however. This is a good one. I've done this a few times. an empty plastic bag just for your dirty washing your pants and your socks yeah
Starting point is 00:19:47 that is a good shout I always use one when I get there when I've been to the shop do you buy say if you were in holiday right and you don't you're not getting food
Starting point is 00:19:59 into your hotel room obviously because you're never eating in your hotel room but would you buy snacks in would I buy snacks in what do you mean like would you go to like a wee corner shop maybe get like a couple of cans
Starting point is 00:20:12 like Coke Zero whatever for the fridge in the room. And like, crisps and lays? I, like, maybe, like, a wee packet and, like, Oreos or something. Oils? Oils. Yeah, of course I would. Like, would you have biscuits and that in your room? Possibly, yeah. But I'd get them on a night out and bring them back after
Starting point is 00:20:28 and then... Yeah. We always like a wee biscuit, you know, when you come in after the pool before you're getting ready to go out. I like a wee biscuit. A little bit of chocolate, something we treat, you know? Do you know what I'm concerned about here? The amount of people that are saying tea, but they're specifically saying Tetley tea bags, and I'm not about that. Richard's a Tetley
Starting point is 00:20:46 tea bag guy I can't get on board with it I'm a Yorkshire gold girl through and through what are you? Would never know
Starting point is 00:20:52 the difference would you not no well now I've told you you would 100% know the difference if you had a Yorkshire tea versus Tetley
Starting point is 00:20:59 I mean I would maybe be able to tell if I was drinking two different types of tea like at the same time like you know a taste test Tetties like drinking
Starting point is 00:21:06 dish water that's what I have in my house Oh Richard's obsessed with it I'm like no no no I can't believe I've not even thought
Starting point is 00:21:13 this but this is genius and so many people of saying it have you seen which one it is no an extension cable oh fuck yeah i have seen that why the fuck have i never done that instead of 10 fucking adapter plug things you take one but it's not even that when you get to the room there's not really that many plugs all the time or they are but they're like behind the bed nowhere near a mirror nowhere near anything so you could charge your phone you could plug your hairdry in and your straighteners without having all those fucking adapters I feel like that like I heard some note about an adapter, something may be like, does it get the same power?
Starting point is 00:21:49 No, probably not. Especially a Dyson. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because weird, I always find that my hairdriar doesn't always work in all the plugs on holiday. Well, what would probably be a very smart thing is gone on Amazon and buy a...
Starting point is 00:22:05 Extension cable... For... Yeah, for Europe. That is genius, Jessica. It is, isn't it? I'm sorry, yeah. You've just shut all over a... everyone there.
Starting point is 00:22:15 You've really just and you can just keep that off your holiday. Anyway, no, and this needs to get off of this screen and we need to talk about it instantly.
Starting point is 00:22:22 My grand used to bring everyone a pre-boiled egg for after security. I'm sorry, what? What? You might be
Starting point is 00:22:31 a bit of all real of. Can we talk about the smell? Honking. And why can you get food through? Anyway, we're not getting into that.
Starting point is 00:22:41 You know, I'm just going to talk here. Somebody's wrote Tiger Bar for bites and stings. I'm going to give you all a little tip here and the people that know this will know. But I went to Maldives, Antigua,
Starting point is 00:22:53 all these places where people over there are all about mosquito bites and they're like, this is what you need. The only thing that works is apparently the Avon body spray. I knew you're going to say that. Serious? I have heard that for years and years
Starting point is 00:23:08 and I actually did. Did you know? What is it? Your dar selves Avon. Your daisle's Avon. I actually did. Davon? Who did? Me. I've always said your dad did. Well, anyone who still sells Avon, send us some of that
Starting point is 00:23:22 body spray, please, because I would really like to try it, but yeah, a few, quite a lot of people I spoke to when I've been away said that it's, like, a known thing all over the world. Yeah. That they love this Avon body spray. It's the only thing that's better than Diet Spray that gets rid of mosquitoes. So yeah, little tip for you there. Tens of tuna and porridge sashes. I can, I can get on board. with that. I can see why people do that. But then that's weight. I know what you're
Starting point is 00:23:47 saying about like a pop-up washing basket but that's a slice of fucking A5 paper do you know what I mean? Yeah. Tins of tuna is quite heavy. Yeah, weighty. Lactose pills. Lime cordial. Bet you can't get that broad.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Why? Why lime cordial though? A lot of people, vodka lemonade and lime. Yeah, yeah. It's quite a, it's a key part in people's drink. Yeah. Own pillow. I actually always travel with my travel pillow. I do love that.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Another thing I don't use. My neck pillow. Also, do you know the way it's meant to be? Yeah, I wear it around the front. I wear it the right way. And it's so that when your head bobs forward, it doesn't fall forward. Yep. Whereas, which makes total sense.
Starting point is 00:24:33 That's why I don't think I like it. Because you're too far forward. Yep. Whereas now, if I wore it the right way, I could probably be on board. But I don't sleep in a plane. I don't know how anyone can get to sleep on a plane. anyway my in-laws
Starting point is 00:24:44 take their George Foreman so they can make toasties in their room for lunch now that is fucking funny now we're talking about wait that must have a suitcase to its own
Starting point is 00:24:55 it must be a small George Foreman or something Chink it's one of the wee like old toastie making you know the ones that make it into the two triangles yeah you must fucking love a toastie
Starting point is 00:25:05 tomorrow but then do you know what I would eat a ham and cheese toast every day in holiday I would someone's right Oh, someone's wrote, Avan's skin so soft starts with mosquito bites. Someone knows. Now, this has come up three times now.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Talcum powder for the chaf, chaf, if you know, you know. No, I actually get blisters in between my thighs. Right, that's so far. I do. I genuinely do it. If I wear my big fat, motherfucking thighs when they're walking down the street, if I get sweaty, I have to put oil even between my legs. I actually get, like, little tiny bumps.
Starting point is 00:25:41 What I started doing is once they're stuck, you just walk with them stuck. I know, that's true, but... Like, you don't try, you don't try and remove. Gee, these are the issues that these big batty girls have to have. You don't try and separate them, you just, you know. You just walk like a penguin. Small steps. No, I'm going to take some to outcry, ether.
Starting point is 00:26:06 People who don't have the... I know I go on about this to you all the time. people who don't have problems like this should wake up every morning and say, I'm so grateful I've got a thigh gap I'm so lucky I don't have these problems Like I can't do a run
Starting point is 00:26:22 Like a long run on holiday in shorts for that particular reason I could not run in shorts full stop because of the chave chaf right there's so many people 20 pairs of pants
Starting point is 00:26:35 40,000 pairs of pants 3,728 pairs of pants. Oh, do you know what's one and I have done it? What? The fire stick. That is a very good shout.
Starting point is 00:26:47 It is. Do you know what's really heartbreaking though when you can't get in the back of the TV and it's, you can't use it? You can't use it. But that is good because I don't know about everyone else but I'm not out partying every night and holiday when I'm away with Jason, do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:00 No, yeah. Same. I'm relaxing. Part of the relaxation as an early bed a wee episode or something. Now fire sticks are to good shout. actually, I might think about that if I go away with Rich again. Because you get the odd place now that do have the smart TV so you can just log in. But when you don't and you're like watching the Spanish news, it's just not really the relaxing
Starting point is 00:27:21 it's after, is it? Amodium. Block of cheese. Mmm. From the point you put that in your bag to the point it gets out your bag at the other side, that's surely off. Yeah, it's just a bit... Or a bit... It would be soft.
Starting point is 00:27:35 It would just probably not be the best. How it's soft? Rehydration tablets for the hangovers I think we should put together a wee like first aid kit when we get to the airport Yeah, we'll get some paracetamil, some ibuprofen Some hydration tablets I need allergy tablets
Starting point is 00:27:57 Oh yeah, right Let's do that My partner takes her blanket that she snuggles into when she sleeps everywhere I know quite a few people that take blankets Marmite gorgeous my friend bought her teddy called barbred
Starting point is 00:28:11 to a girl's weekend in Madrid you're not alone Zoe listen poops doesn't go to any girls' weekends it's girls only a kettle no this whole thing actually says
Starting point is 00:28:25 my grander went to Benadorm a kettle tealtly tea bags and swim shorts that was all I mean you've got your essentials what more can you need liquid talc for chafing fluffy bed socks
Starting point is 00:28:36 so many extension tables. Someone else has said... Someone said... Someone said that their mother-in-law takes a tea towel and a candle. A candle? To every holiday.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I took a candle on the NC 500. Yeah, I did that. And it was the best thing I took. I know. Why did you do that again? Just because it was nice. When we sat out at night time... Oh, get the vibes together on them. Yeah. Bacon and a cool bag. That is honestly making me feel so ill.
Starting point is 00:29:10 No, but can I just say that bacon is something that a lot of people take over to Dubai. Pork bacon. To countries that are Muslim, you obviously don't sell pork, but a friend of mine used to work and she said, can you bring me over a pack of pork sausages and pork bacon?
Starting point is 00:29:25 So a lot of people do actually take them with them from the UK. I get that if it's sort of like a bulk situation, but the one pack and a cool bag for your holiday I'm not on board with. You know, when you were away, Jay, did you eat beef bacon, chicken bacon when you lived in Qatar? No, you can get pork. You can? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 This was a few years back though, mind you, wouldn't you ask me? You had to get a special licence though. Did you? What the fuck? There was like an alcohol shop distributor and you had to have a special licence to go in there. And the same place he sold alcohol was the same place to sold bacon products. So it was like... Contraband.
Starting point is 00:29:57 It was. Save the piggies, do you know what I mean? I mean, you're saying you have to take bacon, well, pork stuff to like to buy them whatever. Anytime my uncle comes up from Nottingham, he takes... back tattie scones and square sausages like why is that still? Why can't you get them and what is the other thing? Krispy like proper Scottish crispy rolls
Starting point is 00:30:15 can't get them down south either How is that still I think? Coat hangers Yeah I do that as well I take about five I've occasionally asked for more Yeah Because they give you four coat hangers
Starting point is 00:30:29 And what you've got to each Don't think so Well I think oh here's one I have done a couple of times But I forget most of the time Your little hair tubel thing I take that too My turban
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah I take my turban with me Everywhere Yeah But I use that every day Anyway when I wash my hair So that it's like an essential For me
Starting point is 00:30:48 No so that I would That's what I use at home But I just I forget to pack it a lot Yeah And any time I remember I'm like fucking hallelujah Gee someone's actually
Starting point is 00:30:57 Messaged here to say Empire Biscuits Are Defoe a Glasgow thing Not a Scotland thing I grew up near Dumfries And they are no way Near as popular down there Love the pod
Starting point is 00:31:06 Oh really? Mm. So I think they are more of Glasgow. Well, anyway, we've got a lot of weirdos on our hands, so... Love it. That's actually quite a helpful few tips there, by the way. I know I might check if I've got an extension cable. But what I do have is like five are they plugs? Yeah. Maybe we can do that for next time.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I can dish them out if you're needing one or two. I'm going to... Yeah, please, I do actually need one. Another thing that I take is so many hair tools. That's why I love the air app. Have I said on the podcast yet that I bought the air app? I don't think I did, did I? Oh yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I did. So, yeah, the air wrap is probably good because it's got all the different extension thingies. That case is taking a lot of space in your case right enough. But is that going to work out abroad? That's the question. Because I'm sure people say, but maybe it's America. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:53 But I'm sure there's something that, there's some way that doesn't work. Well, we'll soon see. But yeah, lovely. Well, happy holidays to us, eh? Happy holidays. Let's all pray for us that we get there. By the time you hear from us again, been. Not on Friday, but next
Starting point is 00:32:08 Tuesday, we'll have been, and we can give you all the goss and all the down-low of the holiday. Candy bloody meat. Hopefully we have survived, and we're back in one piece. And it's G's birthday! Woo! So we're going to be singing, happy birthday to Graham, so sending all of your
Starting point is 00:32:24 well-wishers to G. I know, all of you send in your favourite thing about Graham, and we can read it to him for his birthday. Let's embarrass him. What age are you going to be, do you? 37? 37? See, there's another hint of what he could look like.
Starting point is 00:32:42 If you think about his age, adds maybe like six years on to that. I don't think you're not going to 37, though. I can't really put an age on you, to be fair. Thanks. I think it comes and goes with any time we see you sometimes. You look quite fresh in other times. He's tired at the minute.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Very exhausted. Anyway, we'll see you on Friday. Comf. Comf. See you later! Bye!
