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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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...
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.
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.
My grand used to
bring everyone
a pre-boiled egg
for after security.
I'm sorry,
what?
What?
You might be
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Very exhausted.
Anyway, we'll see you on Friday.
Comf.
Comf.
See you later!
Bye!
