Here we go.
Happy Tuesday, darlings, how are you all?
Fabulous.
I think, I thought it was Friday because we've got a cocktail in front of us.
Cocktails are back.
We're back.
The drinking has returned.
Also, the Almond Quassants are back, but they're different today.
Why do they look like feet?
Because they're called Bare Claw Alman Quassant.
Oh, right.
So they actually are meant to look like claws.
That does make a lot of sense.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
So let's kick it off.
I've got a pawn star martini from the beverage store.
It's my mom's 60th this weekend,
so I don't mind saying this because by the time this podcast goes out,
I'll have been and done it.
But I'm creating like a 60s-themed bit of party in the Airbnb.
So I've got the beverage store to design a label for me,
and it says Polly's Porn Star.
She'll be loving that.
you all love it because my mum's favorite cocktail is a porn star and i thought we would have one today
and zowie's bought the glasses gorgeous no ice geezful and a lovely little small business sent
us some cocktail toppers and the note is the cutest thing in the world and as are the cocktail
toppers actually i've just realized i've not spoke oh yeah hi zari
I'm here, by the way, it's not just Jess.
See, when you're on, like, I run.
I don't want to be like, yeah.
Yeah, you're doing well, yeah.
Anyway, carry on.
You told me to lead.
So, it's Manifest Designs, Jess and Zoe.
From one besty business duo to another,
we are so excited to be sending you our toppers.
These toppers can be used on sweet treats or in drinks.
We have included some pegs as well for you to attach these to your glasses.
Perfect for any occasion
They are edible, they are gluten-free vegan
And the question is
Spit or Swallow
From two little piggies who love the pod
We hope you enjoy what we love best
Getting creative with the extra touch
Lots of love manifest designs
That is gorgeous
And can I just say they've printed out
Our iconic neon yellowy green smiley
Would you say?
They couldn't be more green
Yeah, sorry
Is that green?
Yeah, is, isn't it?
Highlight the penguin.
A lot on your plate.
Cobalt creative logo,
just yes logo,
Quinn Management logo,
and even a QR code
that goes on to our Spotify
and a spit or swallow.
So let's do the spot or swallow on.
So we'll take a little video
and she'll post it.
Anyway,
cheers, fuckers.
Oh, that is beautiful cocktail.
It's not strong at all.
It's very vanillay.
That's all nice.
That is good.
Also, actually, vanilla, you can smell it before you taste it.
I think we should just do half and half now.
No, but also...
Does the topper have a taste?
No, let's taste it's...
I don't know, actually.
But also, drunk on a Wednesday morning.
Just what we need.
That's what I love.
And then I decided to get us a little pastry, didn't I?
From Burnfield Bakery,
to a newish place in Southside.
I have been before.
Remember when I took those cakes
and we've got that cream, cheesy, raspberry little cupcake
at my house a few weeks ago.
It was from there.
Stunning.
I can't really drink this because the thing keeps stinking to my lips.
I'm going to take a vibe.
Let's see if you beat my favourite croissant.
What's your verdict?
Really good.
Not as good as the one before, though.
But really good.
No, but I'll be honest, it was a wee bit gooey, the last one for me.
Because it was fresh out of the oven, though, that's why.
It was a wee bit.
Marzapani.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is a bit like that, isn't it, when it's hot?
I don't know if...
Gorgeous.
And then I got a pan suezed for G
and obviously declined because it's too gooey.
Honestly, I refuse to get this man
anything ever again.
Yeah, that's not almondy enough in there for me.
No, see, I prefer that.
Okay.
I prefer just a touch of the flavouring.
Anyway, that's what's a bit of hot.
that's what's a spit or swallow
for this week.
Well, I have a spit or swallow for you.
Gee's got a spill swallowing for us!
So, I was away at the weekend
and I came back with these
and I thought these will be great for the girls.
Aw!
So, you need to close your eyes.
Close.
Gee, I swear, they're chuffle crisps.
No, no.
No.
Then put out your hand and then you're just going to eat it
and you need to chew and then get me here.
All right. All right.
We've found him to know the pawn star,
It's not disgusting, it's not like fish or anything.
Okay.
It's confectionary choice.
Oh.
Right.
And G's just come back from Copenhagen.
Marlowe.
Marlowe.
Sweden, be able to Sweden.
Oh.
Copenhagen.
There's one hand.
The eyes are closed.
Close, closed.
I'm terrified.
We need to commit.
Get it in.
Wait, am I putting this whole thing in right now?
Oh.
Yeah, get it in.
Okay.
How am I it?
Jay, what the fuck is that?
Jay, what is that?
Jay, what is that?
Jay, what the fuck is that?
It's licorice.
Why is it salty?
Yeah, well, I feel like I'm tasting like I'm drinking the sea.
Gee, what is that?
It's quite possibly the most disgusting thing of it.
So you thought you would get it to us?
Okay, that is fucking awful.
I'm so glad you said that
because that is the worst thing
I've ever flicked my mouth.
So they're called...
Oh my God.
We've put that out of me.
They're called... I definitely.
Flad fish...
Frisk salt, liquor.
I think it's like salty licorice.
But I got caught out like three or four times
because they look like
fizzy gummies.
Yeah.
I kept thinking, oh, they look...
Oh, it says salt in massive letters on the frum?
I know, but I thought that was my way
Swedish for something else.
No, that was quite possibly
It's actually making me go
It's actually disgusting
I feel like I actually like
I'm book a shot but I feel like I have done a shot
Yeah
Like I've got that after like
Ugh
Okay, it's fucking hard now
Thanks Gee
Okay, so
Welcome to the best month of the year
October, my time to shine sisters
The thing is
It's okay that it's your time to shine
But I do agree that it's the best month of year
I love when it comes into autumn.
Yeah, I agree.
I like Halloween.
I've got my pumpkins out in my house.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know what it is about October.
I don't know if it's because it's my birthday month
and I always feel like one year older,
but I genuinely feel like my energy
is through the roof at the moment.
Honestly.
It's the cosmos.
It's the...
Mercury's in, Lucasaid, whatever you call it.
No, but I mean, in general, like,
I feel so good
and positive
and just life's great
I'm excited
I've got good people around me
I just feel fab
and I always feel like that every October
I thought about it earlier I thought
around this time every year
I feel great
I also think October people are just
now accepting that summer's over
and they're like happier about it
with September I think people are like
summer's coming on end
and it's still a bit sunny
but then it's raining new
yeah and also Libra's just
the best people in the world.
The thing is, I should agree with that
considering you are one, Jason's one.
A lot of people around me are actually Libra's,
but you might be the best people
but you're also pains in the fucking asshole.
Agree? But the chaoticness
keeps you entertained, keeps you busy.
Which is true.
If you went out with another Virgo,
life would be dull.
It would be so dead
I'm not actually dull as a person
No I'm not saying you're dull
That's what I say about Richard
He's also kind of satiracy
Just a bit routine
Everything needs to be perfect
He needs the chaoticness
Of a Libra in his life
To keep him just doing something different
Yeah but what's weird
As I'm actually that person in my relationship
In terms of like living
but Jason's just chaotic as in like his brain
he's like a child
like hyper and stuff
whereas you bring like the
what's the word I'm looking for
spontaneous side to your relationship
but I would say I do that stuff
maybe that's just a female thing then
yeah I think it is
or
star signs being fuck off
no they don't gee
they don't I'm a strong believer of them
listen I don't sit and rub crystals in that
but I still genuinely
I genuinely believe in something.
Okay, clear.
We're all balls of energy here.
And it's also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
We are going to have an amazing episode next week.
We've got two wonderful guests coming on on the main and the bonus,
and potentially a third guest.
But yes, we're very aware that we want to raise awareness for that.
It's very important to us to spread some good awareness
for everyone to check their tiddies.
I say we've got some great guests coming in.
I'm excited for that.
Yeah, me too.
I feel like I actually do need some education.
No, exactly. Same.
And I'll be the first one to admit.
I don't actually check my boobs that often.
It kind of freaks me out.
And I know that's terrible, but it does.
Similar to the smear, like it's something that you avoid
and it's never that bad.
And then, you know, you just touch something and going deep.
I just think as well, like we can obviously discuss this more next week.
But I just kind of feel like they feel like they feel.
quite textured anyway
but I suppose like
this is what we can ask
one of our guests next week's maybe is like
is it so obvious when there's a difference
like is it so obvious when it's not
just a normal like tissue texture or something
and also are there other signs to look out for
doesn't this sign to have to be a lump so
yeah I think that's important
we'll cover all that next week so
we'll maybe even put up a wee
by the time this is out actually there might be a wee
box or something up for you to ask some questions and stuff yeah perfect and today marks a day
i've moved to glasgow seven years ago did you say seven years ago today i feel like i've said
seven years ago all year because it's been the year of the seventh year if that makes sense
bless you bless me i'm getting unwell but today is the official day what a seven years it's been
it's been a roller coaster um so what you've been up to what's been a lot on your plate let's discuss
some food first shall we yeah
A lot on my plate physically, we went to Westside Tavern.
Gorgeous.
In the West End.
And I got the vodka pasta.
Which I will say, like, it was nice.
Like, I don't mind quite a basic pasta dish does the job.
But I wasn't wowed by it.
The problem is you've had some really good vodka pastas before.
At Lulu.
Yeah.
And that's pretty unbeaten.
So, but I still enjoyed it, yeah, every last bit of it.
And then we got a couple of pizzas.
What was the one you got?
Spice boy.
Spice boy.
So good.
And that had like, what was it?
Like pepperoni.
Hot honey.
Hot honey. That was nice.
Halipinos.
Loved it.
Do you like pizza, Jay?
Yes.
Do you like thin crust or thick crust?
You'd love it there then.
Thin, crispy bass.
And you like cool hip-hop and stuff as well, don't you?
Yeah, you'd love it there.
It's really cool.
I was like, what's that?
No, because it's all like designed to be a,
a water is it called a watering hole
what's that what they're called in New York
and then all on the screen's like the black and white
like bigy small and it's really cool in there
yeah I think you'd like it
yeah it's a really good baby
it's quite hipster though
yeah it's like it's quite like edgy
or that edgy
which I say that and I don't mean that a bad thing
I actually love hipster places but sometimes
it can just be a bit much in your face
isn't it like yeah we get it
you wear a really
micro sized beanie hat
does not mean that you're any better than me
and also apparently they have
like singers and stuff on
like specific nights during the week
I would love that so much
yes you know I love a singer
you do but anyway that's what's been on
on my plate physically I would say
I've not been anywhere else
for food to be honest
emotionally
what I've been up to well I got lip blush
so you did
she's looking at me as if what's that
I mean, where can I see it?
But...
She's not got any lipisicon right now, is what she's saying.
It's pink, because it's being tattooed on her lips.
I see.
Right.
I got it done yesterday,
and actually turns out that the place we recommended on the pod page is right next to the podcast studio.
See, it's that building there?
Yeah, is it?
Yes.
See the one at the end?
It's the Block 6 Studios in there.
Is it?
Mm-hmm.
Couldn't believe it.
Very handy.
Went there, and...
How do you pronounce a business name again?
Atrium
Atrium
Yeah
And she's actually starting a wee
Like Atrium After Hours podcast
Oh so she does all that
Yeah it's cute
So anyway
I went there and got it done
And I will say it was sore
Yeah it does kill in it
But I kind of enjoyed the feeling
You know that way
But it kept making me sneeze
Yeah
So they put numbing cream on
And then it did feel like really numb
And then at the start it was fine
It kind of just felt like a kind of vibration
And then it wears off a little
And then see when they go around like the outline
or see the wee Cupid's bow bit
Yeah
That was so stinging
Like so scratchy
Yeah
But because it's kind of vibrating
It kept making me feel like I had to sneeze
Same
And it was annoying me
Eventually I did get a couple of sneezes out
But it was starting to annoy me
Because I was like I'm nervous that
I don't think it's ever going to come
And eventually it does and she's got this thing
Like right in my face
Well you know when I had my eyebrows my eyebrows
Well that's what she said
She said there's two nerves that come down from your eyebrows
And I was all blocked up
and it makes you sneeze and blocks your nose
yeah and I was sounding like I was like
been around my cats for a... Because eventually my nose
did kind of block but I was actually glad of that
because I was like right that's the sneezing problem out the window
right but anyway
I went for a kind of
in between like browny pink
so more of like I know it's quite pink just now
because it gets darker before it gets lighter but
quite a natural colour
but I did get the kind of outline
so I know some people don't get the outline
to her lips but I wanted that
because I actually do have quite pink lips
It's just the outline that can be a bit more faded looking.
So, I mean, I'll let everyone know how they are ones to feel
because I can't really give you full feedback at the moment
because I'm only on the second day.
And you get a top of as well, don't you?
Yep, so I'm booked back in for a top up in five weeks.
Brilliant.
Which then they can, like, add a bit of shape
or if you want them darker or anything like that.
Which is great.
But I'd really recommend, and it's such a nice wee room as well.
Yeah.
very viably very cool
but the only thing is
I'm kind of scared to do anything
what do you mean like eat
like when I'm drinking I'm like
and when I'm eating I'm pure like
I'm not letting the food touch my mouth
it has to go like past
my lap sorry past my lips
oh it's fine it will be fine
which gave me a wee gel anyway to put on them
and like calm them because they can't
they are a wee bit they feel a wee bit tight
yes they do I remember when I woke up the next morning
and I was like what the fuck
Mine were bright red though the next day
Yeah, like mine are still quite light I would say
But also it makes them swell a wee bit as well
So if anyone ever gets that done
Don't be alarmed but also
Do I now want that fella like yeah I do
Yeah I know they do look juicy juicy the next
When you get off the table
So that is maybe an issue
And I FaceTimed my mum and obviously Jason saw
I mean they were both like
Whoa you've secretly had filler haven't you
Yeah they both were not convinced that it was just lip blush
and also they were both like you can't do lip filler
they were like your features are big enough
like you couldn't have
like bigger lips
like it just wouldn't work
and I was like I think you're actually right
yeah from the side and stuff
nice but I get like the top
of my top lip was quite
close to my nose
yeah and then you wouldn't even
much of a gap in between
so you're quite strange
I think the lip blush will just do the job
so we might not need to go down the fill
I've got beautiful lips though
yeah I've said that you before
anyway that's kind of what I've been up to
to be honest I feel like I've really not been doing
that much that's like exciting
to report back like I've just been kind of kicking about working um I did take all my sping decor down
and put my autumn Halloween stuff up if anyone's interested about that shows I was actually going to
you know I'm in my TikTok era at the moment I was actually wanting to make a TikTok right
but I got to have carried away and put it all out and now I'm like well I'm not taking it all back
to swap it around yeah but maybe you could do that at Christmas yeah maybe um but I do have about
three kind of pumpkin ornaments
in my living room
I've also got a ghost cushion
which is very cute
it's white and fluffy
I also change my blue cushions
to dark green cushions
nice autumn winter vibe yeah
and then I've got some pumpkins in the hallway
and I've got some pumpkins at my front door
none of which are real pumpkins
are all like pottery type things
so I can maybe show you guys some pictures
if you would like that
everyone loved it
what was it we did last year
my wreath
your fucking wreath
in my hanging oranges's mind
didn't you bake them yourself
did I fuck
don't be stupid
what made me think you did that
I got them from Amazon
but also I will be doing that again
and I actually would like someone
in to come and do my wreath you know
because that's a big
heavy shelf I've got
so you could have a proper
like see like jelly
gets her fireplace in that decade
I would like it to be as chunky as that
I felt mine was a bit thin and cheap line
but I just don't know if I'm being dramatic
like how often are people actually even in your house
probably no one will see my autumn decorations
No, they won't
Anyway, that's true that I'll be up to.
What will be you? What's been on your plate? First of all, physically.
Physically, ooh.
I
Went to London.
Oh yeah.
I went to an event with Glenmorengy whiskey
It was really cool in Shoreditch.
They are bringing out a limited edition
Whiskey bottle,
which I can share more about
on my Instagram
in maybe next week.
But yeah, it was really cool event.
I went down with Rebecca, Gerard,
who's one of my best friends.
She's Rebecca Cooks on Instagram.
We went down together,
and it was basically her birthday that week,
so we decided to book a couple of restaurants
on our hit list.
And we went to a super edgy hipster place,
like the edgiest of edgists and ever
called fucking.
I don't even know what's called Rochelle's Kitchen or something.
Every bit of food that you put on your story was like,
I couldn't have told you what it was.
It's probably same.
So that was really gorgeous.
It was like an outside sort of conservatory, if you like.
But a secret little hidden door.
And the menu was written on brown paper, changed daily.
Right, okay, as edgy.
All the stuff were really cool and edgy and relaxed.
And it was very seasonal.
Gorgeous, may I add.
So I definitely recommend if you're,
really into your food.
It's a proper foody place.
And then we went to a restaurant in central called Fallow,
which is known quite,
it's quite popular at the moment around like chefs and things in London.
It's everyone's favorite restaurant at the moment.
It's having its little moment.
Right.
So Rebecca wanted to go.
We'd had great things.
A few people that we'd spoke to in the days in the run up to go in had said,
oh my God, you're going to love it there.
And we did.
We sat at the chef's table so you can literally watch them all working.
they were all male, which I found quite bizarre,
but there was all male chefs.
There was about 15 of them,
so the testosterone must have been through the roof.
And it was like watching something out of like Gordon Ramsey
Kitchen Nightmares or something.
Maybe not Kitchen Nightmares,
but you know when everyone's like stressed and so much going on
and I was fascinated by it.
It was actually amazing to watch.
Yeah, like they weren't really,
they were still just being how they would be
even though people can see.
Yes.
And there was one main guy telling them all what to do
then his little like side bitch.
And then there was a guy doing this.
oysters and a guy doing an actual humongous trout head and that was his job just constantly
baking this head of a fish and I thought that's a really that's really bad and I felt like he was
been it he was not like the cool one. I felt like people were a bit like annoyed with him. That's
why he got that job. Oh that's a shame. So we sat there and had an unbelievable it was like small
plate sort of thing. So we had about five dishes and then we had shared this dessert. It was like a caramel
tart with sea salt on top and it was actually one of the best desserts I've ever had I can't stop thinking
about it um so really enjoyed that I think that was it food wise to be honest sounds very fancy
so I definitely recommend that if you want to go somewhere for a nice special dinner go there
lovely and what about emotionally oh well two things so there's one thing that really
fucked me off and I'm actually messaged you about this in the chat I know and you said that and I can't
remember what it is okay
So, going to England.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
No, I'm annoyed again.
Yeah.
Why?
Do people say to me when I say, oh, I've moved to Glasgow.
And they go, oh, shame for you.
That.
How do you find that?
I'm like, fuck off, you English motherfucker.
Like, you have, A, they've never been to Scotland, which...
Will, this is the thing.
Pisses me off even more.
And B, it's far better than this city.
And I just get so riled up about it
and it's every single English person,
don't get me wrong.
There's many that do say,
oh, I love Glasgow and they probably went somewhere
that we would be like, what the fuck?
But I think, for me, I'm just like,
why do you slag off Scotland so much?
Or why is it like, oh, shame for you.
But honestly, it's always been a thing.
And I'm not just categorised in English people,
so I do apologise if you're not this kind of person, right?
but most of them are.
English people think they're better than Scottish people.
That is a thing.
Why?
But not in terms of them personally,
in terms of like the place,
like the places you can go,
things you can do, things you can see,
almost like the culture of it.
And I'm like...
It's like they live in a little bubble
and I actually will agree with everybody else.
When English people can't understand Scottish people,
I'm like literally open your ears.
I speak in English.
You're just being ignorant and rude.
I don't understand how it's that difficult
to understand the Glasgowian accent
I understand the really thick ones
like the really super thick Glasgowian actions
Yeah you maybe miss a few words
But surely you can still piece the sentence together
Sure
And I don't know if I'm just saying that because I live here
And I understand some words that you use now
And I get what it means
I get to an English person
That has never been, would be like
I've never heard that word before
What does that mean? Fair enough
No, that is totally fair enough
I think it's more when it's like
I'll actually like
some of our friends who maybe have YouTube
or whatever and people comment like...
What is she to say? I need subtitling. I can't understand
anything you're saying. Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
Because do you use the words
like, hello my name is? Yes, you do.
You, like, just
have patience and take him in it.
But, yeah, so that really pisses
me off when people are just saying
to me like, oh, how do you find that then?
What do you fucking mean?
I wouldn't say that about anyone
that lives anywhere really because
see unless you've been, you don't know whether it's a nice place
or not.
Exactly.
But people just have this thing about Scotland
and also it's got one
some of the nicest places you could actually ever go.
Obviously that's not Glasgow.
But it's like way further up.
But then, see, like people say about the rough places,
I'm sorry, but England is good places that are even rougher.
Rough me, there are some many shitholes where I'm from.
Anyway, sorry, you can carry on.
But also, like, the highlands of Scotland
are some of the best places
in the entire world.
I get it.
The weather's not great
and a lot of people
refer to the weather.
If I could change
anything about this place
it would be the weather.
So I actually do love living here
like I used to always think
I would move away.
I would definitely still try it
but I think I would always come back.
Yeah for sure.
And it is that it's just the weather
that gets it's down from.
And you know what I've noticed
about Scottish people?
You guys are so proud
especially if you're from Glasgow.
You're so proud to be from here
and I think if you meet somebody else
that Scottish you back them
you go on holiday
and you all sort of like unite together.
Yeah.
With English people, it's very much a,
because you could be from Leicester,
but you could also be from Liverpool
and you would sound very different.
Yeah.
And maybe me, because I live here,
I can now understand the differences
between an Aberdeen accent
or someone from the borders or Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Yeah.
But to other people, probably not so much.
Yeah, probably.
I also just think, like the saying is so true.
People make Glasgow,
Yeah, that's where people are the best.
Everyone in the world says Scottish people are so friendly.
That is factual information at this point.
And you do actually notice it when you go to London and all that.
People bang into here, they don't care.
No one would ever like, like no one smiles in it.
Like there's just nothing like that.
Do you want to hear a funny story?
Yes, we do.
Because it was the obviously guy who noticed we were Scottish,
but we're in a restaurant in Copenhagen.
And the Danish server obviously clocked on were Scottish as soon as we spoke.
But his English was immaculate.
like a perfect American accent
and he's like, oh, you're from Scotland
the first thing he said to me was
can you say purple burglar
or like?
No, he never!
Purple or that!
Obviously he's not on TikTok
I know
that's so funny.
What's the chances of that?
That is amazing.
I was like, do you listen to the pod?
Oh, I love that.
Do you know the only thing
that people get wrong about it as well
and like it's my papa
that actually has moaned about it loads
because he's not,
like if he was into football
he'd maybe like,
watch Mother will a wee bit, right, but he's not into, like, Rangers or Celtic.
Yeah.
And he says that they used to go cruises all the time, and if anyone ever noticed they were
Scottish, like, quite often, like, staff of restaurants or shops or whatever would say,
are you Glasgow Rangers?
Yeah.
And, like, as someone who's so not into that, that is terrible, really, do you know what I mean?
True.
And I think that's the only thing that, not let Scotland down at all, but there is a huge divide
in terms of, like, football.
I don't understand it was previously, like, religious.
but now it is down to
your football team
and I do think that is not something
you would find so much
unless you're maybe like
Man United Man City
I don't really know
if there's much big rivals
in one city alone
apart from Vasco
I just feel like
why if you say to someone you're Scottish
like why is the first thing you think of
football?
Because it's such a big thing
No I do know that and to be fair
like deep like a few minutes late
in a conversation
I'd maybe ask the question to someone as well
like I do understand it's a thing
but I think as younger people
but I just feel like someone's saying that's like my papa
yeah and he's talking about
like in probably quite recent years
and as you get older
a grumpier man
he's like that none
I'm not into football
I do feel like as well blokes
that's all they can really speak about with each other
isn't it football I know so even like
my dad and Jason that get together I'm like
I'm just there's no point of me being here anymore
oh you're speaking about it's football
like men don't have any sort of
deep, intelligent conversations
with each other.
Gee, I'm sorry. You're maybe
a little bit different, but... Yeah, because you're not anti-football.
But you would speak about CrossFit
or
NFL or something sport-related.
Women speak about so much more...
My fucking ass.
Better things.
This podcast is proof.
I'm not having that.
It's true.
All you talk about is fucking skin care
and treatments.
and fucking who's doing what on Instagram
and all that bullshit, that's your sports.
You're absolutely correct, I can't guess, as me.
The Influencer Olympics.
Oh gee, that is true.
And also, another thing that's been a lot on my plate,
the reason I've not had a lot of food at the moment
in the past three days is because I haven't had a kitchen
to have access to because I've had the system method round.
I cannot fucking explain to you how amazing I feel
and my brain feels, life feels, their service was far more better
than I ever could have imagined.
Yeah, they were actually amazing.
I actually can't wait for, you to come around my house and see the finish results.
I can't wait to come because I do get quite stressed when I'm over at yours sometimes
when I look into that spare room.
It is the spare room, isn't it?
It was chaotic, I agree.
And I think for me, because, like, I nipped over the other day whilst they were in
and I was saying to these girls, like, this is my dream job.
Like, I would just love to do this.
and naturally like what touch other people's stuff
and I was like okay that bit
I guess isn't really the glamorous part
but I would just love to do that
because see if I'm I don't just mean with you
if I'm anywhere in like the room's a bit of a mess
I'm like it would just take you two minutes to clean this up
and then you would just feel so much better
we can't all be as perfect as you though so it doesn't quite wet like that
no I know and also that's what I'm saying
like you're either that kind of person or you're not
and I know it's not like I say just do it but I know
that's just not people's priorities it's just not
Also, I think I needed to do a massive declotter.
I had 25, maybe not 25.
I think it was like 20 bags of charity and rubbish.
Oh yeah, yeah, you're a lot.
Rubbish.
And the good thing about that is they have a charity pick-up person come
and people that go to the tip for you.
So you don't have to do a single thing.
You're not left with loads of rubbish.
Because that's probably another thing that people end up,
they do it and then it just kind of falls back into the way it was
because they don't take the tape and actually get rid of the stuff.
Like completely reset.
Yeah.
And then they provide a joiner.
He came within two hours and I was there.
putting up shelves for me.
He was changing a trouser rail
that I had from an IKEA packed wardrobe
into drawers
because they were like that
so impractical
what you've got currently.
You put something else in as well
I can't remember.
And yeah, I just thought they were amazing
and mind you that there was some stuff
they've put on Instagram as well
over the next few days
where it looks like my house
is a complete shit hole
but can I just say
that was where we were doing the declutter
so people must be thinking
she's a right messy cow.
No, but that's once like
everything's been pulled out
today and get put back
for me.
So it did look,
it did look,
pretty like a, like a bummer hit it basically on...
No, but it's amazing.
And your kitchen, I would quite like that in my kitchen cabinet's actually what you've got.
Like, you've got those we, um...
I don't feel like you have enough food to do that though, Zoe.
You only have spaghetti.
And you don't even have crisps.
I actually do have, um, penny pasta and swirly pasta I'll have, you know?
Wow.
Actually, sorry, back to the no food thing.
My cupboard does have spices and stuff in it.
and sauces and stuff, like that many?
I would say I've got quite a lot of spices.
I literally came round to your house right
and I made you a salad, an omelet
and I put the spinach in the bottom drawer
and there may be some like tomatoes.
The next day I came around
and said I'll make myself an omelet again.
It was in the bin.
You fucking put it in the bin.
And all it was in your fridge was protein yogurts
and milk.
Yeah, you're talking about my fridge.
My fridge is different story because
I just cannot believe you've been this.
I think it was two days later actually
No but I bin that because
Honestly I don't actually eat spinach myself
Right
Jason's probably never touched it his life
So that was going to go
That was going to have to go in the bin
Anyway
And the thing is
If I was making something that had
Say onions and peppers in it right
I would buy one fresh pepper
Because Jason doesn't eat that
So once I've used that's gone
And then onions
I use frozen onions
because they would just
things just go to waste when I buy
like fruit
well not fruit
veg
so I feel like
I would love my fridge
to be stacked with veg
and stuff
and I've done it a few times
but the problem is
it just goes to waste
yeah
okay that's quite practical
but in my cupboard
I could be doing with that
spinny thing
yeah spinny thing's great
you got for like my
herbs and spices
my herbs
I've also got a spice rack
on the back of my door as well
that's really cool
there's quite a contrast
anyway carry on
So we diagnosed
No, that was great
I fucking never dare say that to you again
What the fridge was empty
Yes
So
What I think is also another thing about the girls coming over
Is they obviously had to go through all of my drawers
No
No
No
so yeah
the lovely box of toys
was found
and then they went through
I was actually out of the house
at this point
so I came back
and they'd finish the spare room
they'll show me the wardrobes
they went through
obviously go for all your underwear
your bras everything
what did they find
that fucking leather suit
with the cheek
I was like
did you find anything
when you were looking through that
and she looked at me
she went
we say nothing
I was like
Jesus
fuck no so yeah if you're doing it just be prepared that um there is no stone unturned when
they go in that house every single thing about that as well like you've not like have you had that
on have i fuck soie well i did expect that answer but that's what i mean so it's funny that like
yeah and hopefully they listen to the podcast in season one and they have been it was it season one or
season two and they have been aware of this outfit yeah but it's still in the draw in the
hope that, I mean, he's mentioned to me
a few times that I've still not had it on.
You're going to need to get it on one day.
Also, do you know what I think the difference is as well, right?
See, because the way I am, see if I was getting
someone over to do something like that,
I would almost clear out my stuff before they got there.
Do you know what I'm like? I'm like, I just forget.
I know, but like, even like
I would be thinking about that kind of thing.
Like, I would be like, I hope there's nothing weird
in any of my drawers. And it would then drive me to check them.
And by that point, I've cleared them out.
There's nothing for you to do.
Can I just say that they were the soundest sisters ever
and they were just very much, it was so over the head,
like listen, we find some weird shit in people's houses.
Oh yeah, they all see...
They're not even asked.
Yeah, they all see fucking hundreds of weird stuff.
But it was just, I can't believe how amazing my house feels.
It's so clean.
And just the way they organise things,
my brain would never even think to even do it.
And they've basically rejigged my whole kitchen.
It's not like they've just cleaned out my cupboards.
They've rejigged it or made it more accessible
and more easy for me to just cook things.
Yeah.
They've made my whole pantry room thing,
which was just the catheter room at one point,
into a, well, it's amazing, isn't it?
I showed you the before and afternoon.
And see, when you think about it,
why was that, like,
why did no one think?
To put shillots up?
I don't mean, just used.
I just mean, like, even when I've been over
or done it, and I'm like,
you just forget that room even exists
because it's just got the cat box,
isn't it?
And actually there's a good nice room.
Yeah.
So I feel like I've got a spare room in my house.
So that emotionally, that was it really for me.
I blocked out three days for them to come.
The first day you have.
have to be there for the full D clutter and it just took them until yesterday so today
was a free day for them except the podcast I told them I was coming out to do this but yeah
gone done you also um had quite an adventurous night on Saturday night no guys I didn't
get into 5.30 in the morning that's just like that's we're getting up at that time
message there's three things that I said A I'm not drinking again B I never
vaping again and see i was going to drive into town that night oh wait we said that's before the
night oh i was saying it all week right okay interesting because after paris i got so pissed on the last day
that i thought i'm not drinking again i'm and i basically booked to see casey light's favorite
dj in the world and he was at s wbg free and it was such a small event it was a lot smaller than
i thought which was even better and he wasn't on until 11 which gave me the fear at the start i was
like fuck me i think i've like i pre-drank at my friend's house and i felt like i was a teenager again
But we then went out at night.
So we went out late at night, sorry, should I say.
And then went straight to SWBG3.
And he was on until three.
Well, sorry, doors opened at 11.
He had somebody come on before him for an hour.
And then he was on.
That's so late.
Is it not?
That's so late.
I'm home.
And it's not like it's a rave.
It was not a rave at all.
That's like, Bethlehemes.
Yeah.
So anyway, I did it.
Drank.
I was even vaping in the car before I'd even had a drink.
touched my lips and I thought oh no things are going downhill here things are going downhill
and then when we came out there's a lot of pod pigs there by the way they all said hello and they
were very lovely well I was at a wedding at the same time and Jess was like come here after like
it's not even stashed yet blah blah blah which I could not have done because my feet are still
covered in blisters like my feet are still aching I can't wear heels and then she was like there's
lot of pod pegs here she maybe don't
because
certainly would have been fucking died
but the girlies were so nice
and then anyway
this is one thing I want to discuss
can we normalise going to
strip clubs because
I fucking love them
and afterwards I was like
I want to go Diamond Dolls
so they were like okay
so where do you go after
and I was like I don't want to go home
I don't want to go to an after party
I want to go Diamond Dolls
So we got in the taxi
It's just you
It's the fact you know the name
And you're Shane Diamond
I was doing like that
That's what it is for me
And then
And then we basically left
The SMBG free
You're the casino
So I don't want to do that
That's boring
And then I was like
I want to go and see a stripper
And then we got there
Obviously it was closed
I was fuming
But I forgot to say this on the podcast
When I was in Paris
You know there's a humongous sex scene there
Yeah
Around like La Pagal
Up at the Moulin Rouge.
And I was in the street asking every seedy-looking bloke,
where's the best strip club in Paris?
Obviously, they're directing me one called,
I think it was called the Pink.
I think it might have been called Pink Princess.
Of course it was.
So, I fucking went, didn't I?
I was in there until 6 a.m.
I had girls up touching my legs
trying to get me to have a dance with them.
But I have to admit, when I was in there,
me and my friend Heather went in.
but two other friends didn't come in
because it was like
something ridiculous entry
and we sat in there and I thought
I don't want to dance
I just want to watch them
I actually find pole dancing amazing
and I remember being really pissed at the time
but I could see so many like seedy men
around with all these women
I thought oh this is hell
but obviously me being me
I want to dance
like not with a stripper
I want to get up and dance
so I'm dancing to the music
and Heather's encouraging me
so I'm like ooh
And then even the stripper was trying to get me up on the pole with her.
But the owners, you know what they're like?
They're like, pimps.
They were like, you actually have to sit down.
Like, you can't dance in here.
I ended up apparently going kicked out.
Because I was dancing so much loving my life.
I'm actually sinking further and further into this couch as you keep speaking.
Why?
So anyway, I'm watching this stripper.
I was multiple strippers dancing.
They were amazing.
And then these two women come over and I thought,
fucking out, here we go.
And then she's chatting away.
She's like, oh, this is my first time here.
we have a lovely conversation about where she's from
and I said to her, I was like, oh, that's so sweet.
And she was like, Jess, they literally want your money.
And at the end, she went, well, if you want,
I can give you like, you and your friend a dance in the back.
And I was like, oh, no, no, no.
I'm just here for a drink to watch you guys perform.
And then she literally got up and fucked off.
And she was like, you're so naive.
I'm like, yeah, but can't we just normalize girls
coming to watch other women dance?
I love it.
I don't want to pay you to dance on me.
I just want to watch you.
that's no what the strippers is.
It's no a social club for women.
Who says?
Who fucking says?
It's to suck money out of you guys.
Yeah, I know, but there might be women out there that might want to dance.
It wasn't me, but I wanted to watch them.
And I was also, I was hyping them up like, yes.
They were loving it.
But the pimps did not.
So is anybody else out there is what my point is.
Because when I was younger, me and the girls,
we all loved a strip club in Leicester.
Like, it's not just me saying this.
My friendship group love a strip club.
I honestly don't think about ever being a strip club
It's great Zoe
No I would like it because I'm quite
I would say like what I would like about it
Kind of like you that I'm quite nosy
It's just a dark CD room
I know but I would quite like to like watch
What unfolds in there
Do you get what I mean?
All you'll say is literally men having a conversation with women
Then you see them get walked off to a room
No I know but that's what I want to see
And then the pattern on the pole is
Amazing
Do you know how hard pole dancing is
yeah I know people say it's such a great form of exercise
yes so to watch it you're like wow
and there's a strong had to laugh
the word exercise being used
and I say in the sense it then involved
do you know how strong you have to be to dance on a polljee
oh I
mm-hmm yeah I bet you do
but you've been to many shriekubs out of you
you know
you have you guys
so yeah that was my point
I wanted to speak about this because I thought
when I said it in the group chat
I thought you guys aren't
just not like that but my friends are we'll finish on a quick recommendation then
TV program my mom your dad I don't know why I've not watched it sorry this is so your
program I know even the playlist is so you I'll watch it I've got plenty of time with just
things on you will you'll be doing your work but you'll be distracted because it's that good
someone else was talking about it and seeing how good it was if anyone that doesn't know it's a dating
show hosted by Davina McCall and it is for adults and
It's not like Love Island.
They're all in like a stately home and bombshells come in
and they put up six moms, six dads,
but then the twist is the kids watch them from secret cameras
and they are the love experts.
They think they're going into a house with proper love experts,
but it's the children that are deciding who they're partnered up with
and who girls on a date.
Oh my Lordy Lord.
And there's just people that come in.
And do they get quite intimate because I wouldn't want to watch my parents do that?
There's one scene where I'm not going to give too much away,
but a lot of them have been through a lot of life issues as well
like divorces, somebody's wife died, you know, there's lots of things
because older people have more life experience, it's more interesting.
I bet more deep than love, Aylums, my name?
Yeah, and the playlist is all like 80s, 90s.
Right, I'll need you watch that.
Classics, it's just so good, so wholesome.
I think I cried so much, I was fragile as fuck on Sunday, obviously,
so I was just crying consistently.
I was like, please stop, but in happy to.
It's not sad.
Some bits are sad, but it's kind of wholesomey.
Yeah, I'll need to watch that.
So yeah, that's a good recommendation for you all.
A few of you guys messaged me actually when I post it on a story
and said that it was also one of the best things you've watched.
So catch up, I think it's ITV.
Also, speaking of dating shows, I love.
Love is Blind.
Have you ever watched it?
Yeah, on Netflix.
Nothing makes me happier than how dramatic these Americans are.
So dramatic.
Like, you've been speaking to a guy through a wall for about three days
and you are hysterically crying
because he doesn't want to speak to you anymore.
But Zambi, don't you think of it though
in the sense of let's say you were blind,
like an actual blind person?
That's the same thing though.
No, I know, but I'm talking just like the amount of time it is.
I know it's probably very intense in there,
but it's when they start crying
and it's like, I just want someone to love me for me.
Well, they didn't, so what you're upset about?
Yeah.
Do you get what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it's always like, love me for me and I'm like, well,
someone will.
do you know what that is G is why they actually like date between a glass of a wall
they can't see each other and end and then they end up getting married
so before if you continue with the experiment which then you would go on like a honeymoon
and you actually do get married at the end of it
you ask someone to like the guy asked the girl to marry them
and then they come out of two doors in this like studio
and they want up to each other and they walked each other and that's the first they see each other
but they've already proposed they're already engaged
and they're a kiss and it's like but it's not as bad as married
at first sight.
That's chaotic.
I fell away from that.
It was too much.
Yeah, it's too much.
Anyway.
We can just go on forever.
Right, well, thanks for joining us
and our little catch-up, I feel, it was.
And we'll see you on Freaky Friday.
See you on Freaky Friday.
Bye.
