A Lot On Your Plate - S3 Ep8: Is it really worth the hype?

Episode Date: October 3, 2023

This week on ALOYP we discuss all things overrated, underrated, over-marketed and absolutely worth the social media HYPE. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, happy Tuesday, lovers. Hello, hello, hello, hello, loo. How are you? Fabulous, I hope. We are back for another episode. I'd like to know if everyone's hung over for my birthday party. It was wild one. It was a wild one, wasn't it? So in today's episode

We've got a lot to speak about I'm really looking forward to this one of you This is a good one to discuss Like in depth I would say But also first I want to know what my spitter-swallow is Oh yeah Because you might have seen That was me, Zoe

That posted that on the story The text and the text was from Jessica Saying I have her sputters swallow And the dread that brings So it's not actually anything bad whatsoever but I told you to bring the pig mug so we could have a brew. I do apologize.

It's actually a really good spit or swallow. So, all over Instagram at the moment is the new M&S. Outrageously chocolatey milk chocolate coated custard creams. Get them open.

And apparently they are fucking good. So we're all going to try them together. Do you know what really like? to this podcast and what I'm about to say. Custer creams are underrated. Underrated. But you just forget about them.

Thank you. Do you know what it does say in the packet? It's like more chocolate than custard cream. More chocolate than biscuit. Wow. Oh my God. Oh my God. That is bloody great.

It tastes like something. You know what I will say though, doesn't taste of a custard cream. Not at all. I'm not getting any of that coming through a year. A wee bit. Maybe it'd be. Yeah, maybe at the end there.

Yeah, I feel like it's a bit of an after-taste. But you know, the top layer, it's so thick of chocolate. Not quite. Worth the hype, absolutely. Yeah. But basically, Zoe, I went into Eminetta and I had to try and find you that hazelnut spread. I thought, I'll make her day. And it had all the spreads, and then there was three plain labels on the thing.

And there was hazelnut, cookies and cream. And then another one, like a limited-dition ones, and they were all empty. So the one I want, right, is called Italian... Yeah, Italian hazelnut cream spread or something, right? There's a chocolate version as well. But there's a chocolate version. That was in stock. That's the one that's always in, the one next to me as well.

I'm like, I really should just ask someone because I'm like, are you just never going to stock it? Am I really holding out for fuck all? Well, the Uringston one, there's a label there. So it is stocked there. So I'll keep checking for you. and also another little small business shout because I appreciate that it wasn't a small business

spit or swallow even a very big one but you know what I was saying right to Richard just night we got one of those meal deal ones because I got a meal deal and I got cottage pie with you know how you pick

like side main dessert or starter just everyone hold down That's a ready meal Yeah, that's what I mean, it was a ready meal We had to put it in the oven It wasn't a microwavable one Well maybe you could microwave it Was usually an option for both

But can I just say when I was eating it Why is it? No matter what M&S touches does Everything tastes so good So good But it's not even like Can someone please write in and tell me one thing That MNS does That's really bad

Because everything they put their spin on Is so good Do you know that recently, as in the last couple of days, I picked up a loaf of bread from MNS? Which I don't usually get. I usually get the Warburton's blue. Oh, alright. Skinny bread.

Oh, thick. That's thick. No, the blue ones, the thinnest isn't well. He goes blue, green. Orange. Dark green. I'm colourblind, by the way. I'm blue, orange, green.

You might have this all wrong. Did you just remember your colourblind happening that story? As I was picturing the different breads I was like

Oh aye I Amazing Anyway I picked up I look for bread just because I was in there And I'm like I'm not trying to be that person

Because we're just having this conversation But that wasn't the best But bread's bread You know what I mean Right all right Okay Bread is bread But once you toast

Who cares Does M&S not have their own Maybe manufacturer like their food's made solely for them whereas all the other supermarkets and stuff their food's made probably a few places and then branded up differently

or label differently yeah maybe but then Albert Barrett let's supply them Albaatar do supply them yeah and you say that and I've worked with MNS Scotland before because MNS obviously champion Scottish produce they don't want to get it from well as much as possible

they want to get there that's made in Scotland most supermarkets are like that to be fair yeah they work locally Yeah, so there must be a hub here then And I don't know Because like you say Albert Bartlett That is Scottish potatoes

Imagine being the taste tester for the minute Well I actually do know of a guy That is a product developer for it That'd be a dream And he looks like he has a great job He's friends with Molly actually Right okay Anyway so what I was saying

I went to Donald's Butchers at the weekend To what did I actually go in there to get I got a loaf of bread where they're some days you go in there and they've got a really nice freshly loaf of bread and I think I think it's actually Cadzal who supply them or wheatberry I'm not sure and then I saw this on the counter they've got loads of different

I don't know like herb spices sauces and I saw it says piggy's and it had a little pig on it and I thought oh my god what is that and it was hot honey so I bought it by the way it was eight pounds that's expensive eight pounds but honey is quite expensive though isn't it a good quality of honey is but I didn't care I was like eight pounds

I absolutely get Aldi's finest but it's something that I would buy regardless of the place yeah I just need it and anyway I was looking at the back thinking what's it made of and it was like blossom honey

Scotch bonnet chilies which are hot apple cider vinegar and it goes oh made in Glasgow Bath Street so obviously I was buzzing and I put it on

a little bit of toast last night I made a bit of sourdough from that I got from Donald a bit of tomato puree mozzarella grilled it drizzled on the hot honey it was stunning because obviously I'm not going to make a pizza

I might late at night but Can you tell me Are you ever actually heating that honey Or is the hot part The hot is the spice Yeah And they also had an extra hot one as well And was it spicy?

Yeah it had a kick to it yeah I'd love that But if anyone wants to check it out on Instagram It's past the at past the piggies How cute And then they messaged me last night Because I tagged them They said oh thank you so much

For loads of followers and orders And I love that I love that Fair Fox So yeah It was delicious So that's a little Small business shout out today

Love that what a gorgeous Starts to podcast Yeah Anyway what's been a lot On your plate What you've been up to Well we both went to a new place Called Holy Fuck

That honestly was nowhere in my brain there Did you forget? I forgot Me and Zomi went to the Barra's I haven't been around there before I've been to bad before But not actually Yeah but I feel like I've not either

Because probably not since I've been really young so I can't remember it like I don't remember ever stoking about the barras like the markets yeah but they were kind of shutting

weren't they so we didn't see much so we'll need to go back we need to go back because we were looking in and out and we're like this is looking good you should go at Christmas really

it is the best serious don't go to the Christmas markets go to the baras right we'll go there then what a shout maybe we should come up with a stall idea

I can remember being in the bars at Christmas and like it's just chaos like people kind of about looking for bargains and all that I can remember when I was younger, like a big truck just reversed into the barras

and the back door flies open and it was like, selection boxes had clearly just went and stole a pallet of collection boxes and we're just like chucking about the back of the truck like two quid, anybody, just out they were swarming this truck for selection boxes. I love that. Catch me there then.

That's like the Christmas vibes at the market you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just chaos, everyone running out and grab and shit. Oh, well we're going to do that then. So yeah, it's called Holy Fuck. it is a new little store Asian street food store

near the Barras called Holy Fook but it's H-O-L-E new word F-O-O-K and it means health it means whole means good Lee means wealth and fuk

means luck so clever good wealth luck but holy fuck yes and when I say it was it definitely lived up to the hype actually there was a pork belly sandwich

which I don't really love pork belly but that is the most popular thing on the menu I think a lot of people were ordering that but I went there for the nudes the noodles were amazing were amazing yeah they were really like sick really thick noodles so fresh

there was a long queue we actually ended up going there at like five to five because it opens two times in lunch and dinner we got there at five to five and I thought oh my god okay it's empty so I mean what within like ten minutes there was a queue down the street down the street at least I don't know

I'd say like 30 people and we were only there for a space of 20 minutes and also five's early for dinner yeah people were there on the dot yeah so yeah I definitely recommend that

it was good price as well and the lady was really lovely actually and we just sat outside there's only like three chairs you can sit on and yeah that was our place we ate out this week yeah that was delicious actually

and then I went to Paris oh I did this She just hopped over to Paris I know I was just in a bad and a little Oh that's right You know what

I have taken So many bloody flights This past two weeks Obviously few of them Were to like to London and stuff But my brain Was so mashed up this morning I had a PT with Chloe

And she went How can you believe it was like a week I went on a plane And I went Where I had completely forgot We went to Paris together My brain is not okay at the moment

Or ever And we went Yes we went to Paris We went to see Fred again I think I'd mention that a few weeks back amazing but we had like a day aside just to explore and be tourists we did the Eiffel Tower picnic

that was nice, ate at loads of I would say I'll maybe stopped off at more touristy places this time places that I have heard great things but they're not really places I would go but because I was with other people I wanted them to experience Paris in that way

so because you went to that what's the steak place called again? Couldn't tell you you know I can't pronounce things properly It's like entry Le, relet, and trough, God knows, but everyone will know what it is. It's the steak place with the fritz

and the really secret, good secret sauce. And they just come round and top up your plate? Yeah, I really like that. That was a good touch. Yeah. And we got lucky again, the queues are meant to be ours, but we went at the lunchtime menu

because we couldn't go at dinner because we were seeing Fred that night. I think we got there at like half 12-1. I think we were about the same and we went actually. We did need to wait, but it was maybe like half an hour. Oh, really? And was it just two of you?

Yeah. But so because there was four of us, I thought we'd be waiting ages, but there was about four couples in front in twos, and she came out with anyone in a quadro? I was like, yes. Perfect. Ideal.

So we got in quite quick, but what I will say is we sat outside, and the service was painfully slow. Like painful. Don't you really forgotten about it? 100%. And I just thought, there's literally one thing on your menu.

And all they do is ask you, how do you want your steak cooked? and medium medium we jump and then we had you have a really nice walnut salad to start you have the steak you have the fries they top it up again and then there's a dessert menu which actually has loads of other options on it to be fair

so yeah I recommend it I think it's one of those places that's been massively hyped up over the years I'd imagine it's been around for probably decades I feel like it's the type of place that it's definitely better to go lunch you reckon don't queue at night on a Saturday for hours I feel like it is really good

but it's like a night you're almost like in and out to an extent and I'm wishing your service was slow but as you said that there's only really one thing to go and get it you just get it

get a top up quick drink and then you go about your day so yeah so I think this ties in quite nicely actually the next place that cafe flora place where all the Instagramers go and have their lovely little outfit picks outside of

I went next door to another place that I really wanted to go and the menu didn't have a French onion soup on it so I thought right, okay, well go next door it did have a French onion soup on the menu and I thought you know what I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt

I know that a lot of people come here but usually when people go there it's always massively overrated and overhyped and the service was really nice the man was lovely but not only did the wine glass give me the ick it was dirty and like a little chode

But I do think, though, that French wine glasses are that. They are short and stuby. They look like half pint glasses. Yeah. They are like that. So I had to appreciate, but it was dirty, that gave me the ick. And just the food in general, the menu was great. It looked great.

But it came out and you had like the croc monsieur. The quiche was actually excellent. The Kees-Lorraine, all the other things you could have, tune in a swat, everything was French on the menu. But it was so basic. The toasty was like a toastie getting Costa And I thought This is just not it

I have had way better food than this in France So I felt like for me That was personally very hyped up But all the other girls said the same as well So I thought maybe I'm just being a bit of snob here But they said no this is shit So yeah I wouldn't really recommend that Massively overrated

But everything else I actually love Paris so much as a city I think it's amazing Same I thank Eldonis to go back five times a year Yeah There's so much to do I really like it So yeah, that was me. What about you?

I've not really been up to much, to be honest with you. I feel like I had quite a chill week. Since we last recorded, celebrated my birthday on the Tuesday night. Everyone came over for dinner. But we just got, like, bits from a takeaway. Yeah, what did you end up hitting anyway? We did actually end up getting a takeaway, but just got like pecorah, different types of pecorah,

some pizzas to share, just things like that. Yeah. Because then I just thought, who can we for clearing up, not me? Uh-huh. You know what I mean? Yeah. So anyway, just did that. and then I was really busy with work

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday I was shooting, I was out shooting with clients all those days so I felt like my week went really quick whereas I actually find my weeks go really slow just working like at home on my own. Do you? Yeah like it gets to Wednesday and I'm like I'm so glad I've still got two more days.

Right. Whereas that made it go really fast and I was a bit stressed out so I'd run out of time. Anyway that's really it. weekend I went out for done on Friday actually I went to salt and Hamilton oh yeah that looked good or I should say salt what what did you just say salt salt um and that was nice but I was so starving because I hadn't eaten all day so I just got a cats of curry can't go wrong I love

salt um but the sushi and all that I've had before and it is so good but it's very like night out vibes I would say like we were all just I mean I actually did have a drink um but just one but we were just there for a nice meal you know but it's great for a wee date night I think not that I could ever go there I always forget about going there so close to where we live but I know what's next to that um rocker yes that I've seen loads of people go to recently because they do that like bottomless brunch thing oh do they at the weekend uh-huh and now they've got like a bar joint onto it and any time I drive by that on a Friday or Saturday it's a heathen is it we used to live in Hamilton I went there that was the first place I ever went and ate when

I moved to Scotland and it was it was really nice but that was years ago now yeah it's nice I remember getting a takeaway from there for me and Jason's first Valentine's Day and it was COVID so you could get like home deliveries and they gave you a pizza in a heart shape so they did I remember that

that was cute yeah anyway that's really all I've been up to to be honest I don't have much more to share we went to selling furniture and we picked some new sofas for our studio that is you know a complete bum bomb site that G's not even

started yet. Oh, your ears pick up, didn't it? So, yeah, we've picked two nice little chairs that are going to be delivered in... When is it? Three weeks. Well, you're going to have to store them for his G because they're coming. None of which we've consulted with G so far.

No, it's just brand new information. Yeah, we can chat about that later. So, yeah, we've got a little new studio coming which we're excited about. Yeah, God knows when, but we'll be in this. We're getting there. but it's a work in process. We've been very patient with him.

Yeah, so that was fun actually. We've got some nice bits. You've picked some bits. That was before we went to the Barra's. We really went from kind of one extreme another that thing. Well, there was one sofa that we really wanted as well, but the delivery time was quite late, quite long time for that. But the other option that we've gone for is actually probably better.

Yeah, really nice. So looking forward to that. And then, yeah, I suppose emotionally I would be moaned to you about this anyway, but you could actually play dot-to-dot on my face. Sorry, it's not as bad as you're making out. It is. She's asked me to bring in these, me and Zom, we absolutely loved these pads.

You know, the oil pads from Zosio Health, she put them in her bag. But we genuinely do believe that when you put them, well, I use them most days, but you ran out, haven't you? I did for ages and then I just stopped using so because I felt like, I know this is maybe the wrong thing to do, but I felt like my skin really didn't need it anymore

and isn't very strong. No, 100%. I think when you get to a good stage in your skin you can start stripping it back slightly but for me that's not the case it's the only thing that works for me consistently I have to... It does really like dry out and just get rid of your spots but

I'm only really stressing because I've got my friend's wedding this weekend and I just don't, you know when you just don't feel nice when your skin's bad. Yeah. But hopefully it'll clear up in time or even just see if they just go down I can cover them. I think a couple days with that and... It's the lumps that I think when you wear makeup

you actually notice the lumpiness of your spots more. Yeah. And you were saying you're using a different tan on your face as well, so maybe you can go back to using... And I started using new tan, and that's just what I get for being a traitor to my old... Did you use Tan Lux? Or Al-Aparallis?

I always went between Tan Lux and IOP green water, or the Tanlux water as well, which is really good. But then I'm also like... I use the same brush, have been for so long. Probably not clean that. Have you washed your makeup brushes, Zoe Quinn? I don't do that ever. But, okay, I'll make a promise myself

that I will start using new brushes because I do have a full new packet in the house. I don't even need your wash. Yeah, do that. Oh, it's got a beauty blender. Do you use that as well? Yeah, but I've got one of everything that I can replace. Right, do that then.

Bin it. So I'll just, we're a new woman this week. Yeah. Wow. Anyway, that is all apart from that. I have no worries, thank you. And I'm looking forward to the pictures of the wedding. It looks like it's going to be fun.

And I'm going to get my skirt shortened today, actually. Oh, yes, so you are. Then I don't actually have my shoes yet, which you kind of need them you're getting it's short and so maybe we'll need you buy sometimes and then after here we're going for a very exciting meeting can't tell you what it is though maybe we'll tell you next week can you tell me yeah you know but I'm sure you can maybe make a guess no I don't think they can't

but keep your diary free anyway anyway um so let's get into this. I want to just talk about quickly how we can get into this and why we bought this topic up. Yeah, absolutely. So I went to a party last weekend and I was speaking to a girl and she works on Instagram and I was saying to her like, how's work doing? Blah, blah, and she was saying to me some brands that she works with. One of them being Hello Fresh. And she was saying how she absolutely loves it. It's really ideal for her life. So I know obviously wasn't slagging it because I genuinely used to love it. I was like, they've asked to work with me before in the past and I've had some bad experiences and I just wouldn't and she was

like, fair enough. And I was like, some things work for people, some others. And then she got on to mentioning skin in me. The, I mean, if anyone hasn't heard of it, it is highly advertised by a lot of influencers online. And I've been quite intrigued by it because it does look good. It's medical grade skin care. portion to exactly what you need delivered to your house every month and I think it's personalised as well or something I think you go through a questionnaire or I think you can actually have a call with someone

before you like just order whatever you think you need like I actually don't know if you can do that yeah I think you need to go through a process and then they like tailor it specifically to what your skin needs so what got me on to this is I had an email from them last week well Zoe did. They wanted to work with me. And I said to Zoe, I was like, I'm really sceptical about this because it's one of those things that I feel like so overly influenced. Is that the right word or advertised online where I don't know if I believe it's true. Yeah. I know even though I do work in this industry, I'm still skeptical of these things. I'm

so influenced by things too. There's so many things I buy as well that I'm, you know, I genuinely believe or want to try myself. And I think I just said to Zoe like, I'm not really sure, I'm really happy with my skincare, but... So then, weirdly... I'm not trying it if you don't try it as well, it's like the bad... Yeah. Should I actually do or not. So anyway, it was really weird that when I was having this conversation with this girl,

she was saying to me, she's like, no, hand on heart. Like, I understand why people think that, but it has completely changed my skin. It is the best thing that's ever worked for me. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it got me and Zoe thinking, I was like, what other things are online that are so overly influenced or overly marketed that are actually really good? Yeah, and people don't.

don't want to buy into it because they think it's a little shite. Yes. But there's loads of things. Skin and me being, well, we don't know because I've not tried it, but... Apparently, a couple of friends use it and they absolutely love it as well. Doesn't want to use it as well? Yeah, she loves it. So that's maybe one. So if people are wondering, then I think it's worth a try. Well, if anyone actually is using it, let us know. Yeah, we can tell everyone.

And then another one we both use in love is Estrid. I was so sucked into, I can't remember who the influence. why she's a London girl and she's all about body positivity I remember buying it I thought I am going to buy this I know I have laser hair removal but I still have hairs on my legs

especially because that's not finished yet but how can a razor be so good doesn't make sense to me it's like everything is just done well though it's like the marketing is done well it looks nice yeah like they've got say what like five colour options all like pastel colours

it's got the little sticky thing that you stick up on your shower yeah which I I love because I hate things lying about the bottom of the shower because they get, like, have you ever noticed how dirty things get lying at the bottom of your shower? Yeah. So it sticks up on the wall or the door or whatever.

And then you just pay... I don't even think it's £15 every quarter and you get sent about five different razorheads. Yeah, but I have like an abundance of them. Right. Like they send you more than enough. Because you asked me for some, didn't you? Not long ago.

Yeah, because I think I, when I signed up, you just got the one-off. No, I didn't. I did do the monthly. Whatever it was, I think I thought they were coming monthly. So I was kind of just used and I'm like, fuck it, I may as well put a new one on every time.

Right, okay. So that it's a good shave. Yeah. But then I think you're right. I think it is something like quarterly because it definitely doesn't come out of my bank every month either. No. And I had spares because I don't shave that much

because I have laser hair. But now that I've had it for like probably about a year or something, I've got like a good backlog. Yeah. But I think it's, do you know why I like it as well? I know the aesthetic. that aside because it's so heavy it's such a heavy razor isn't it

it feels like it really gets deep into I don't know I can't explain it and my skin feels so soft after I mean I used to use just like throwaway ones so it's like night and day compared to that yeah it's got like the really thin layer of I don't like when ones have the big

spongy bit of soap because I don't think it gets right in but it's just got like a nice way thin way so we're estrid fans aren't we where else have we wrote in our little notes? There's loads. One second. UK lash. Now, this probably goes for more than many eye serums out there.

And I'm not going to sit here and say UK lash is the best one because I've tried many lash syrams. But lash serum as a whole is massively overhyped, I think. Or, sorry, overly marketed. And it does work. Yeah. Lash serums, rosemary oil It works But it's worked for me anyway

I can only sit here and say things that have worked for me But I do believe a good lash serum I'm sure there's many on their market that aren't very good But UK lash I think I was using is it like Lash X or X lash Or something like that And it was really good as well

I could actually see a difference I got it from my mum and she could see a difference too There was one that I used to use for a couple years that I got used to get. I've looked fantastic. What was it not Reviter lash? Why have I got mine blank? Revitalash is on real though and the Reviter brow. Ooh.

Isn't that one really expensive? Like 100 quid. Anyway yeah. Lash serums, definitely estriard and greens. Like, it's funny because we asked you this question as well and he said Athletic greens. Athletics Greens. He

thinks that is massively over-marketed. However, you love it, don't you? It's good. Yeah, I like it. I'm a big benefit. Yeah. And on the same, like, free soul, I was sucked into that marketing and it works well for me. And you said, real, R-H-E-A-L.

I mean, I don't have it, but I've heard, like, when I was still at work, loads of the girls bought into that kind of similar time. But they did the balance tonic. Yeah, they did the balance for, like, hormones. And they had said, like, when they get their period, they don't feel any difference in their mood. No bloating, no clamps, no nothing. Like, they wouldn't even know they had it. Yeah. so yeah i love greens somebody messaged me yesterday saying i love 99% of things that you have

influenced me to buy but this tastes like shit it was free so and i was like i never said it tasted good i just said it has helped me massively like immensely with how i feel and i put my collagen in it as well it makes it taste better i'm going to buy under the green soon i don't mind green tasting things i think my palate is definitely different to people that i eat i eat everything except mushrooms. I love greens. I love vegetables. Nothing really makes me gag. I'll probably find it absolutely hairlish to be honest.

Yeah. You can drop a little bit of lemon juice in it. It always makes it nice. Yeah. Maybe something, something. So honestly, if you are not on the green train and you are trying to take it but it tastes too disgusting, just knock it back and just get over it because it will make you feel so good, I swear. Especially if you're not eating fruit and vegetables

and it's not your thing. That is a really good way to try and get something in, at least any. Yeah. Another one I think you see everywhere and I have starshed using like the past few weeks is that JS health. Brilliant. What do you call them? Vitamins or supplements? Supplements. Oh it depends. I have the magnesium from there and the detox and de bloat. Wow. I've got detox and debloat and skin and skin. Clearly it's not helping skin. Maybe that's maybe not helping it. Maybe it's helping the digestion but because you know what they say? A lot of things. to do with your skin, by the way, is to do with your gut health. I know. So maybe you should take some probiotics. I could keep telling you to take.

Maybe you should work on that, Zoe. This is the thing, Jess, right? Remember I see your emails. I saw you buy the prebiotics. Zinny? I think so the ones that are in your fridge. Yeah. And I remember thinking that's so fucking expensive. Yeah, but, Zoe, that was for four. Bottles. Four months

where? What was like 90 pounds? I just don't think I cared about my health that much. Well you should. Like I just go through stages being like not a bother. I'll spend 500 pound myself. This man. Fuck it. And then other times I'm like 20 pound for vitamins. No thanks. Well I'm honestly buy anything like that. Right. Okay. Well, I need to start one journey first. I can't do everything. No, you can't. Don't overwhelm yourself. Or them first. Definitely think you should probartic, I'm going to say. I need energy. It all comes from your gut. You gut is your second brain.

I mean, I think we're needing miracles to fix whatever's going on down there at this point. The pigeon's still in there. Can you buy a new gut? Is that a thing? Anyway, I think Jess health is very over-marketed, but heard amazing things and currently enjoying the detoxing the boat one. Do you know what else I've noted on down actually? Leneage, lenege, lip-te.

mask. Love it. Love it. It's everywhere, but it is good. I can't wait until a year's time and everyone's like, it would be like the new like Lankham juicy tube. We were like, it's remember when she used to take that Lenege lip mask. It's like going to be the new ick. There was a couple of people that used that

in my work. Like ages ago, didn't they? Ages and ages ago and I used to always think the last thing I want to do is put my, like, use my finger to apply a lip balm. Because I like a tube. But since having it, like I don't think I would ever look back. but another thing

and this isn't just to do lineage this is any lip bam that you use the more you use it the more your lips need it yeah that's true that's why Vaseline's so bad for you yeah because when you stop your lips dry up a little raisin road lip glass

really like that I really like it too on that note I think the summer Friday's one's very overhyped not tried it it's a bit too I don't like when it looks too like wet

yeah I like like a shine but not like yeah oh okay do you get what I mean and it's kind of like you open your mouth

and you've got the eh like the lines like the stringy bits I feel like summer Friday you read that like that I think I've said this before but Bobby Brown what's it called

face space enriched I know that's maybe not being over hype that much anymore because it was it was and people think but didn't work for me I know people love it, so fair enough,

but I genuinely, it made my stomach to her and I smelt it, put it on my skin. No, I wasn't a fan of that at all either. And I wasn't, another one I wrote down was Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. Listen, I did like it. Okay, I'm not saying it's a bad product whatsoever,

but it is not worth the money. No way. No way. They bought a new one out, actually, a water version rather than an oil-based. And fragrance-free as well. Yeah, because it was quite full. fragrance but it's just so expensive

ridiculous for a moisturise at the end of the day and see these days you've got like tell you what that LaRosch poursé per se B5 moisturiser is the fucking best moisturiser I've ever ever used yeah and that's much cheaper bioma's really good

and that's really cheap and even like even like all the ones you just buy from like boots now they're all great like it's all changed yeah don't need to be spending 80 quid no it's a lot of Other skincare is quite expensive

like the zone moisturises well it's a bit more than a moisturiser they're more like active like vitamin Cs but just to finish it all off with a really well priced moisturiser I can't go wrong with that one I've got at the moment I love it so much I also do love the Kate Somerville one

the Delhi Kate it's called and it's a wee like lilac tub and that is really nice but like that's a wee bit more on an expensive side as well I say but I feel like Christmas you know and like that that's when you kind of get your good stuff. Yeah.

For people, that's maybe a good one I get. Ask it all for like Secret Santa's or, um, get on Black Friday. Yeah. Do you know what else it is overhyped? I want to do myself over massively here. Penae porno. What, your own recipe? Yeah.

I'm sorry. I genuinely love the fact that people love it so much. It's changed people's eyes and people talk about it nonstop. But you're just about like, it is not my, it is not the best recipe on that page. way? Yeah like I can understand that that would be annoying in terms of like right I get that it's good but like have you tried this because it's so much better. But when people just want a really studgy, creamy calorie dense pasta it is so good for that but for me it's just like I say it's all about taste and preference I would never want that I would have picked my sausage

pasta over that any day. No I would pick your sausage past over it as well but I think the thing with your pasta dishes I think yes it's like the taste amazing but but it's also that once you've made it once, you can probably just remember how to do it again. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I wouldn't need to revert back, but you know me. But, like, that's probably why people, like, get so sucked into your, like, pasta. Because it's so easy.

And, yeah, they feel like, like, like, you say, when you make something, you feel, like, accomplished at the end. You're like, oh, I did that without looking at instructions. And on the note of food, what I find so overrated, I think it's such a trend, and I hate that it's not died yet, is truffle. People want everything to be, like, truffle fries, truffle pizza, truffle

crests. It's like, it's fucking stinking. Taste, smell, the look of it. It looks like shaved, burnt skin. What is it? A mushroom. A really expensive mushroom. Is that what that means when you get truffle fries

and mushrooms, is it? It's like a very expensive... Doesn't truffle pigs snort them out? I made that up? I really don't know, but it just... It came out of nowhere. And everyone has been, like, everyone's still obsessed with Alan. Why is this still a thing?

I think it'll be around for a while, you know. But then the one thing I did, I could eat and did, like, was the truffle mash we had at Catamaca and Ibita. That was good. It wasn't so overpowering. And I was kind of scooping, like, underneath, so I was only getting no shavings at the top of it. I also really like truffle crisps.

A lot. Yeah, the ones we had at Ghosts were nice. Yeah. But... They went to overpowering, were they? No. I just, I think it's almost, like, quite a sweet taste. Like, it's really sicky.

Yeah. Another thing, I know I didn't watch it all. That Barbie movie was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. No, guys, we're not disgust this, have we? No, because we didn't watch it for a while, so we're as to hype. But do you know what that made me think? I didn't feel very good watching that at all. I didn't...

I'm telling you what that movie was, right? That movie was a YouTube disc. Do you remember people used to do dizzies of people on YouTube? Right. would go on and make up songs and be like, do you know what I mean by that? Yes. Like a complete piss take out of something, someone or something like,

that's where that movie was. Like, I kept looking at you and being like, is this a piss? Can we just say that we'd watched a very, very, very bad copy? We could hear people coughing in the background. So, yeah, I don't think. I know, but I just even think, like, I have the ick. I said this shoot before I even watched it. I have the ick for Margot Robbie doing that film.

But you also left my house 20 minutes before it finished. And I texted it after saying, I was crying at the very end. And I thought that was a really beautiful scene. And I'd get the meaningness of it. And I understand that it was a lot more to it than just... As all. Yeah. And I quite like that.

If they did a piss take movie where it was just like a cartoon coming to life, I think it would have been a bit like, oh, all right, this is so shit for Margar Robbie doing this. But it had to have some umph to it, I think. and the director of, I think she did quite well, to be fair, but I don't know, I agree, like it wasn't, it just wasn't what we were expecting, was it? I think it was just really much more gimmicky than I thought it would be.

Yeah. And like I know that's kind of the point, because obviously she's a doll and lives in, like, plastic house. And like when she was drinking out of a mug, nothing was coming out of the mug, obviously, because there wouldn't be anything in the mug, it's a fucking toy, right? Yeah.

I get that, but I'm like, did the film need to be so like that? I don't know. I think it just wasn't why I was expecting it, and I actually couldn't bleed my eyes. Yeah, you were a bit shocked, weren't you? I was really taking a bad. I was less shocked as Zoe, but yeah, we were. I just wasn't, I didn't, I don't think I'd watch it again.

The last thing that I wrote down before we go on to what you guys think is adanola. And it's not that I think it's overrated. I'm actually wearing the top right now. I'm checking if I am, I'm like, hmm. Yeah, my top's actually adenol. But I just think... Doesn't wash well. one it doesn't wash well

all my sweatshirts, hoodies, everything are half the size but also quite bobbly and I feel they've got like almost like watermarks from the washing. Do you ever get that? Yeah yeah yeah. Secondly it's not for working out. Absolutely not. It's leisure wear.

That's for putting it on your wee socks over the ankle, your wee trainers and you're a soccer mum. Yeah, a bit of blazer if you want to smart up a bit. Like it's not for going and doing a sweating class? No. Or a cross sweat class.

But to be fair, I didn't buy it for that anyway. I did buy it for, because I think post-COVID, you just, I'm so, I didn't have, I was thinking about this in the day, I actually never owned a pair of joggers. This is going to sound crazy, I know. I did not own a pair of joggers before COVID. How crazy is that?

Had Jim leggings, I was not a joggers' girl. And now it's all I wear. Joggers, leggings, like slouch wear. I think I did. No, I didn't. I think you definitely did actually. I definitely was. Because I remember asking you,

when did you get some stuff from? When it was the first lockdown, I was like, I need to get some stuff. Yeah, I've always been quite casual. And I just think that trend has never left. Never, and actually I'd go as far as saying it's a bit of a problem. Yeah. Because see when you're going, like, for example,

you are going to a wedding or something like that. I know there is places that I've always done that, like fancy wedding wear. But see the kind of shops and styles that I like. they're just so casual now they don't do any of like going out dressy stuff like ASOS do do it but even when you're looking for maybe a wedding's a bad example because there's obviously

occasion wear everywhere but if you're just wanting like a night out everything is so fucking casual like what you meant to wear I don't understand anyway enough of us rambling on things that you guys thought was a lot

actually there was this is probably the most responses we've ever had and people are quite passionate And do you know what I need to say before we start this, right? There's so many things in here that I agree with people, but there's so many things that I disagree with. Couldn't disagree more. And we just need to say it is all personal preference, isn't it?

There's things that work for people that don't work for others. Jess, I don't think anything's personal preference. I think things are factual information. People are wrong. Yeah, well, there's just things like, I don't know, certain things that I really love and I really like that. Well, here's one that'll definitely tickle you up the wrong way. Oh, God, what?

To be controversial, Yusebi deli, overrated. Load of bonnics. I'm sorry. I'm angry. No, that is not... Why is that overrated? Disagree. Do you know what a lot of people have wrote in,

anything pumpkin-spiced flavor? How do you feel about that? I really like pumpkin size. I'm sad that you don't. But no, listen, I understand, though, how it's overhype though. But that's just one of those things when people start saying oh it's pumpkin spice season, you're like fucking

eye roll, do you know, yeah, I do agree with that. That's just social media for you. Yeah, but I actually genuinely really love that sort of spice in anything. I do as well, to be fair, but I'm just not a coffee drink or so I couldn't comment on the coffee side of it. Chie flavour things. Someone said Milan, the place is not worth the hype,

not a lot to do. Agree, agree, agree. I've never been. I went, didn't I might trip? and while it was an amazing work trip we had one day where we could go on her own thing and I think I lapped the same thing about 20 times I was like this is so smaller than I thought

but it was beautiful interesting right it was beautiful another one apple cider vinegar gummies is this apple cider vinegar gummies all over TikTok then out a load of shite agree I think if you're going to do apple cider vinegar take the hard course yet

don't take it shot me Right, okay And also if you take it Be prepared to have the worst acid reflux Ever in your life, it's not cute I'm personally quite offended by this one I'm not happy about it at all What? Egg bites from Starbucks

are extremely overrated and overpriced Overpriced, yes Overrated, no Starbucks in general's overpriced Can I just say Six pound for a latte, you mad It's a joke Can I just say how do people

Buy one of them every day? I don't anymore. It is ridiculous. I only drink black coffee and it's now over four quid just for a large black coffee. There's fuck all even in that. They are making a killing.

I think somebody said to see the one in Hamilton. Yeah. Did you tell me this? What? That's the highest gross revenue in Europe. Yes, it's true. Did you know that? What?

Yeah. Wow. A lot of people saying Beyonce, a lot of Beyonce's. Couldn't again more. I couldn't be more. over her if I tried. She actually gives me the ick if you think about it. What is it about her that's overrated though

because I don't hear anybody waiting about her? I think it's when she came back recently. My opinion was like, you've had your moment, give up. I like Beyonce, okay? I don't think she's overrated because I don't hear anybody talking about her.

I heard somebody talking about Beyonce in the same vein as how Taylor Swift is the goat in Beyonce is just not because if you look at her actual catalogue of songs, Beyonce's all features. Yeah. All their biggest and best songs are all features, whereas Taylor Swift's all written by herself and done by yourself.

That's true. Beyonce, Baby Boy with Sean Paul, one of the best songs ever. I absolutely can't stand Taylor Swift. Zoe, they're coming for you. I'm sorry, guys. I hate Taylor Swift. I'm not a fan either.

Like, I go as far as they and hate. Like, she's that horse girl at school that you can't stand. I'm sorry. That's so tight. The horse girl at school. The girl at the nice horses. She just, everything about her, like, there's just no coolness there. There's no nothing.

I'm sorry. She's going out with Travis Kelsey now. Who's that? Take it into the Kansas City Chief's NFL play. Oh, we? Of course she is. Should we make a bloody heartbreak album with him next year? But this is what I mean. I'm like, oh, stop crying.

Just stop crying for one minute. Oh, I've got 70. friends who listen to this podcast that's going to... I know, and do you know what the funny thing is? You're going to get attacked. But that's the thing, I think with Taylor Swift, like, people... It's not even love, it's, like, obsessed. You either love her or you hate her.

Taylor Swift, for me, is like, One Direction. Fans, like, give it up. Yeah. She doesn't know who you are, and she never will. I'm sorry. That's what it is. It's like, people are going to all... I know people who are doing this,

so I deeply apologize. I still like, you know. Why are you going all three nights of her concert? It's the same fucking thing every night Haley Quinn This is the same to you But I know other people

Do it too I totally agree When she told me she'd bought three nights I thought you are her actual biggest fan Like I'm sorry That's weird Haley I do apologise She's just a type of person

That people at a concert are like crying And screaming And it's like Yeah No I don't really That is just me my day. I totally agree Taylor Swift is

I don't know if overrated is the right thing because I appreciate people love her so much and they make them feel a type of way and that's nice. I actually do think it's very funny that I don't like her like I think people would assume like see if I actually listen I say this and any of her songs that have been out over the last 10 year I've not even listened to once but I couldn't even name you name me a song I'm actually trying to think of a song she sings I can't I'm so far removed from her same I'm so far removed I'm like skip I'm so far removed from her

The Kardashians, apart from skims, I like skims. I'm wearing actually a skimmy's body suit right now, so I'm not that far removed. She's actually touching me as she speaks. But that is one thing that came out of the Kardashians and that's great as skims. A few people have said that actually. Have they?

Yeah, that skims is actually underrated. I don't hate the Kardashians. It's not a hatred. I'm just not, I don't absorb their content at all. Couldn't be more. I couldn't care less what they're up to. I'm sorry. I don't care less about Cardi Jenner with this new bloke.

I don't even know who this man is. I'm sorry, I have no idea who it is and everyone in the group chat sending it in, I'm like, I couldn't give a flying fuck. I don't know who it is, but... Who is it? Timothy Shalett, or something. Timothy Shalimett.

Who is that? He's in, um... What was he on again? I can't remember, but... We're, like, sort of, like, stand out of sore thumbs in that chat. They talk about celebrities all the time and I need to Google it every single time.

Celebrities, real, like... TikTok trends and all that, and I'm like... Now, what's the thing that they love? like reality shows and stuff. I've just not into real housewives. I would like to be. I'm the real housewife ones. Because you know what?

Whenever you guys have told me to watch something because I think I'm probably the worst. I didn't even watch Hunger Games until you lot told me to because for me that's too sci-fi. But I didn't. I really enjoyed it. So I think if someone forces me to watch something I will like it.

But it's more like where do you see like see when I watch something even if I love that so so much I could not tell you the actor's name. Same. Unless it was someone really. famous like Robert and Eanor or Brad Pitt or something. Mm.

Like really well-known actors that have been around for years. I can't ever tell you who that was. Or even songs, couldn't tell you who sings it? Although we did love Love Island. I bet you people have said that's overrated, haven't they? Probably. A few of people have said uggs. Can't get on board with the resurgence.

There's nothing better on your foot. I'm sorry, please get back. No, Zoe, I need to tell you something. What? Those slippers are the most uncomfortable things I've ever put in my feet. what like the Tasman slippers did they not stay on they're like clogs

I don't understand I can't believe that this is just like not a thing right okay I said that actually they're too small for a start and maybe I need to learn how to walk in them but I cannot get on board with the Tasman slipper thing in terms of comfort they look great but no

this is one that has touched an nerve reading over it overrated Ho Wong Don Cassidy Costanzo, Sugo, Pissano, Pissano, I shall agree with. Yeah. It's not my type of pizza.

Don Costanzo, Sugo, and what was the other one I said? I've not been to Ho-Wong, but I've heard great things. Listen, Ho-Wong is extremely overpriced, but it's good food. How dare you speak their name in vain? But Don Costanzo, love it. You're not appreciating for what it is, but I did take a food. friend, I'm sorry, but I took a friend there a few years ago, you were with us and she did also say, she's like, you lot of hype this up to me too much. Listen, I get it. People don't like

things we like. I don't get in it, sorry. So I go, I'm not having it because. See, again, you're not appreciating it. I just feel like the food's really good. You're also in and out in 20 minutes if you want to be. And if you don't want to be, it's a good drink. It's a good atmosphere like what is or not tight? You never have to flip in balk it, you can just walk in. Sorry guys. Sorry, it's an old from us, your band.

No, but I get it. I bet you they eat it somewhere like that Italian opposite Glasgow Central Station. Begins of finesse, ends of an eye. Another hype we've not spoken about is a Stanley Cup. Right, is this the new

Molly May brown leather jacket? I think I'm sorry, but if I see someone with that, I'm like... I'm like... I'm like... Are you... Did you say Stanley Cup?

Yeah, Stanley Cup. You know Stanley? Oh, the brand Stanley? Yeah, the big like, like... Not like a sports cup. I like that's the NHL Trophy's called the Stanley Cup. It looks like a fucking trophy.

But can I just say I really want one? No, so do I, right? But how much is it 40 pounds, 60 pound or something? Maybe you can get dupes or sick at shop. Is it not just a yetty knockoff? Yes, there's loads of knockoffs now. Oh, I'd absolutely go one of them, but I want the Stanley one. I want the Stanley one.

But what I'm just saying is, is that the ick for us? Yes, it is. Because someone in this has said that it's the ick. They said it's like taking a 5KG dumbbell to work. Perfect. Don't have to go gym. My work piles have slagged me, so I'm back to Evian. Yeah.

Pilates, worth the hype. Air fryers, worth the hype. Dyson air wrap, they've put a sad face, though. Listen, again, that's the case of, if it works for you, it does, or it doesn't. That's one of the best things I've bought, I think. Um, in-laws, were they even ever overrated? Nando's, overrated. Couldn't agree more. I like Nando's, but it's very like I'm not. My expectations aren't high. It's an easy dinner.

This is a good one. Sorry, but Baratta. It's just sucky cheese to me. I don't get it. I couldn't agree more. I do actually agree with that. I don't get the Barathe thing at all. If it is got loads of really nice toppings, it's really good. But barata's an actual cheese is so... Plain. Plain, there's hardly any flavour to it. It's just creamy. Have you seen the viral Uniclo bag?

No, but I've seen that on this. What's that? It kind of looks like the cost one, you guys got me. It's got a great clip. No, it's like nylony. All right. And someone's saying it's worth the height, best purchase. I've made all year a couple of my pals.

I haven't really like it as well. Might want that then? Sparkling water underrated, I agree. You don't like that, do you? like I hate sparkling water tonic water, soda water I think they're all, it tastes like dish water

underrated this podcast couldn't agree more underrated capsule wardrobe and outfit repeating yeah someone has said a garlic press the best kitchen utensil ever the best kitchen utensil ever

is a sharp knife then I tell you now those Richard actually slices hand open last night that wasn't quite cute but they're that sharp that whatever you could taste it feels like you're slicing butter it will change your life everyone invest in a good sharp knife

that was very poignant it was wasn't it but whilst we're talking about catching utensils I need to know why anyone would not just buy lazy garlic Zoe get out why would you not just buy lazy garlic because it pickled for a start

and it tastes like ass not doesn't Zoe there's nothing beats fresh garlic I'm sorry that was a bit harsh there's nothing wrong with lazy garlic but fresh garlic

is way better right okay I'm still not buying fresh garlic a lot of people say wonder bar I'm saying I'm going to say that might

which is quite a good one to finish on right go bubble tea love it don't get it who wants floaters

in their drink could not agree more love it that shit is the weirdest thing i've ever seen in my life i don't understand bubble tea it's like a drink you can either get it like coffee is it Korean is it like a you know the bubbles at the bottom no I never and it's like a milky drink if you have the brown sugar one oh do you get it when you're out or is it like a brand they're everywhere oh you just get it out but there is one of there's a really good one on great west at buyers road that I go to have the brown sugar bisgoth one oh my fucking god it's so it would change your life no

Sooking something up a straw that's not just a liquid is my worst feeling in the world. Like, see bits and all that coming up a straw. I agree. Orange juice with the pulp in it is not the one. I mean, she used with bits in it. Horrible. Bess that ability is floater's on your drink.

I couldn't agree with that one. It's disgusting. And it's also just like it looks like you're drinking plastic. I don't understand. Someone's right here, I personally found Dublin overrated. Now I actually do agree with that. I was really disappointing with Dublin.

I know I saw that and thought of you because I meant be saying that. But Belfast for me is top tier. I loved Belfast so much. I really need to go to Ireland. I've never been. What? I know it's right up my street. Well, I know it's Northern Ireland, Ireland, but Belfast is how I pictured Dublin to be. Yeah, I know what you mean.

Yeah? A few people have said that, I think. Yeah. And I went again with my dad in time. I loved those few days, but it still didn't convince me that I loved it. Oh my God, there's so many, but we could leave it there and you can stay tuned and wait for us for Friday for some more goss if you want on the bonus. It's a slightly related topic, I would say. Yeah, I think it is as well.

Someone's wrote pickles. Right, but they haven't said what? It better be underrated or you're cancelled. And can we just finish on this one quickly? But for the reader girls, the Kindle is a thousand percent worth the height. so Zoe, that's a good one for you. I think I'm going to get one. They're not as expensive as I thought they were, by the way.

Are they not? No, I'm sure you can get just the basic one, which, why would you need anything more for, like, 50 quince? Why don't you just wait for Black Friday? Yeah, probably will, actually. I'm at ever actually going to read. Probably not. It's just a phase. Yeah.

It's just nice to sit in the bedside table. Makes you feel better. It's in amongst, like, getting greens, getting probiotics. Like, it's in that batch of stuff that probably never happened. New Year, new us. He-hee. Anyway, I'm off. See ya.

Bye. Bye guys!
