well I've said to her like I can't wait to hear all about Malaga but it's weird because although we are like best friends I don't want to know about it over text We've heard of spoke Yeah because purposely because I want to speak about it on the podcast Because I don't want to hear it twice, you know what I mean I want to hear my true reaction of like oh my gosh But then equally

That's also not nice either Do you know what I mean? Well we're saying that but it is like When I'm there it's like how How's your holiday? Like it's not No conversation But it's just not like anything that has to be like anything that happens or anything that I think

Yeah it's that creamy Sodery taste I'm going to tell you exactly what that tastes like Unless you can guess Cherry Coke Nope Fomies A squashy

Squashy Didn't it? Yeah I actually think it's quite enjoyable It needs a bit more of iron brew Through it for me Because I love iron brew It depends what sip you take

it's as if it needs a me x Easter okay I'm liking it a bit more now I think it's quite pleasant it's quite pretty um where are you going to put that I don't know

Murray I'm going to actually just set the same and step away thank you so much um guys we also have our flowers of the day our mud bunch it's peony season

They're gorgeous by the way My favourite time of year is peony season baby Oh yeah baby You two are the first to receive Mud peonies this year What an honour They're kind of open more than I thought

They've opened They've What is the word I'm looking for Flourished Blossomed Bloomed Is that word Yeah

So peonies This is quite early for peony No, I thought it was more May. Piny or Pione? Oh, am I saying it wrong? No, I'm just taking the past saying it's Piny. Pini. It's got some sort of like daisies through it as well.

I prefer them sort of closed. What do you think? They look beautiful when they're open, but I love them when they're in a bunch and they're like tightly closed. Boles? Yeah. No, I quite like that bunch.

That's kind of giving me, you know, you've ran through the field. It's a gorgeous. summer day you've got a wee floral maxi dress on a wee strappy dress something we've never wear and you're running through and your bare feet toes through the grass and all that and then you're just picking them up as you go

sounds like you've done that before what do you think we were right back so thank you so mud for that lovely bunch of the week that was good from you get yours now what thank you so mud thank you so mud thank you thank you so mud

We can make that thing. Right, let's get in about it. I want to know every fucking thing. So I'm going to start with you this week. It's a nice place to me. It is. I want to know what's been a lot on your plate. Let's do emotionally first, but it doesn't need to be anything bad.

It can be good. So let's just talk about Malaga. Okay, fine. Whatever you want to talk about. Well, in case anyone hasn't picked up yet, I was in Malaga. last week seven days ago and I went with my mum

and my two brothers a wee fam trip and we hadn't been away abroad together for eight years wow I know I was a last trip together Florida Disneyland

gosh I know my wee brother can't remember it selfish he must be so young though by the way he wasn't even that young he just remembers bad things

about the trip oh that's just kids for you though I'm pretty trauma miserable so anyway we went for three nights

and it was gorgeous. This is what I'll say. Malaga to me was almost like I said this to earlier. Not as bad as Tenerife right, but like the sort of place that I just think

you just went there in your summer holidays and you were at school and it was just very beachy, quite like British touristy. Right. But I was wrong. I couldn't have been further from wrong. Is it giving like Lisbon, Barcelona.

Absolutely that. And I will admit I was wrong, right? So it was just streets and streets of tapas bars, like places to drink, all different places to eat, all wee old town streets. Like it was never ending.

Wow. There's like a cathedral to go and see. Like a big kind of garden, like a bit you can walk about. We also walked up the castle. I was fucking done in. it was scorching hot

for a start and I had like a wee cropped denim shirt on obviously I didn't want to take it off obvious reasons and I was sweating my pan in

I thought my mum was going to actually keel over but we managed it we got so far and we thought right see if we just get to that part we stop there we didn't

we kept walking proud of us and we got right to the top and there was a bar at the top oh perfect sangria we sangria take his edge off

anyway I would really recommend doing that if you go to Malaga because I thought it was really nice and then you see over and then you can see it back in ISBA yeah it's like all over the old town

sort of like from the back and then at the front it's down at the kind of like port marina gorgeous all the big fancy yachts so we went down to that one day as well

and just had I wonder about do you know what I'll say about a yacht see if you were you were rich beyond belief you didn't need you think about money is that something you would buy possibly

because I just think I don't know what's really I know this is just from someone who's obviously not got a yacht but what I kind of don't know the purpose if that makes sense right because we're your own mini cruise

I know but I suppose it's because I don't maybe it's because I don't find the thought of a cruise appealing. Right. Because I'm like, see once you've, basically that's just your mode of transport. That's how I see it anyway. So once you've got to these places, bear in mind you have to pay thousands of pounds to park it there. Yeah. Every night. That's right. You're then not really on that you're not. And you have to pay all the people that are on the boat, all you crew, who are paid a fortune. So, like shipwrecked. Yeah. So I'm just confused like the point of it

the point of that actual physical yacht maybe it's a sort of status thing as well I think that's exactly what it is but I just feel like I think I would rather like a private jet a lot of people do enjoy being at sea and just sit in the

yorkness of it yeah they can just be in the middle of the ocean which is must feel quite liberating you're just on there like wow I think I'd be scared of a shark no same to be fair but then you would dock, I guess you pay like a yearly fee to dock

your parking space, get Ringo up, park my yacht, get on there and then you would just go and eat at nice fish restaurants and back on your yacht. I suppose their bedrooms and that are really nice. I know, do you know what it is? It's just personal preference when you think about it.

Like obviously if I wanted one, I would just buy one, right? But that was obviously a joke by the way because I'm not a fucking billionaire. But I was just, I understand when I see people sunbathing on them when they're parked up because I think well it's your own space be sunbathe you'd maybe get a wee jacuzzi or something on it

but I just more thought in terms of travelling is it really worth the money when you're always just getting off it that was my thought process anyway I just said to put that out there because I was in deep conversation so one of my good friends

works on a buck yacht I think we spoke about this before and he he was a Russian oil tycoon at the time, the one he was working for but he was on it for a good chunk of the year and only a few weeks of the year they would rent it to well they rented it to the Kardashians

and they would join them sometimes yeah but I guess I'm saying this so I don't really know the full yacht experience yeah and these are like super yachts as well so they're not like the ones we would rent if we went to flipping four mainterian I believe that I suppose it's like a

mansion on the sea it's a mobile house sent it? You probably wouldn't even know you were on the water half the time. I just I'm thinking sea sickness. And imagine that saying like, right, Captain, I'm now in the south of France, take me to the Bahamas and then I guess for a few

I don't know how long that would take maybe a week or two. I don't know. Yeah, not in the days at least. Yeah, and then you would stop off in a few places on the way if you wanted to, you wouldn't need to. And then next minute you wake up and you're like, I'm now bathing in fucking St. Lucia. But on the way there you haven't been able to go up

and experience the weather and et cetera et cetera. Interesting topic. No, I do see the perks to an extent but I just thought I'm not sure it's where my money would first go. I would love to any of our listeners if you are a crew member of yachts, tell us the deepest, darkest secrets because I know a few but I couldn't really say an awful lot

on that episode when we spoke about celebrities because my friend had said he'd signed NDAs. Yeah, for the big book. So there was a few things changed, but the stories I've heard are wild, wild, wild. Some celebrities that are known to be so friendly are complete and utter, see you next Tuesdays. Terrible.

Anyway, I had a deep conversation about that, obviously at the time about the yacht situation whilst I was looking at them, obviously saying that I wouldn't want one if I was actually quite clearly because I just can't have one. So it's giving bitter. Yeah. I would really recommend,

I'll get everyone, actually. Well, you've certainly influenced me. I just think, you know, when you want one of those weird breaks and it's like... How long's the flight? Three hours. So, Malaga's the airport, we were talking about it's earlier, that you go to Mar-Bayer in, isn't it?

Yeah, and like Port-Dales, all. Right, so I can't imagine it's too long if you wanted to go to Malaga for a city break and then you could pop to Porta-Benose or wherever it is in Mar-Baheer. I think you can actually also get to Seville quite quickly from there. Nice.

when you're driving from the airport there's a sign for Cheville and somewhere else and that I now can't remember the name of where's Madrid the fuck knows I don't understand I haven't really explored mainland Spain that much I don't understand the world map

at all Madrid so Madrid is right central midland right okay so right yeah so Madrid's right in the middle Mabaya is right on the coast obviously then you've got severe

There's no coast there then. No. That is a pure city. Just a pure city, right? I've heard Madrid's amazing. Valencia, Alicante, Mercia, they're all on the coast. Gibraltar? Never been there.

I never realised that was... No, of course it's not... Is that Spain? Oh my God, my... No, it's his own little... Thanks for attending a geography lesson. Guys, I'm terrible with this. You think I would know everything.

I don't look like Gibraltar Gibraltar It's its own country right Surely that used to have been a part Used to have been a part of Spain Concord It's owned by Britain

Look how tiny No sorry but look how tiny that is Zoe So that's Spain Yeah Gibraltar Same look look look Wow that's tiny But that's a size of Scotland

Not even That's the size of glass of go. Glasgow. I've got to go there now. Anyway, sorry, we digress. I know. Re-Geographer lesson, but it was all.

What I would recommend is getting a wee apartment to us. Yeah? In the old town. Gordy? Air B and B or? I think it was actually just on the old booking.com, but my mum got that one.

However, it was perfect. I don't know if anyone saw my pickies, but we had like balconies, like old-style balconies. yeah um with like the shutters and everything that opened right up and it was we were actually on the main street that took you to like the big square it was perfect love it although it was noisy at night right but I don't mind that I feel because we're like young and hip it's fine if you were doesn't mind it either right but there was one night that I was struggling to sleep and that what because I was already struggling that didn't

help do you know what I mean but people were making some racket until everything's late there oh it's like what is it they have a little siesta and then they go and eat at 10 p.m. So it was like two in the morning and it was still all kicking off in the bar. I was like, yeah, it's a fucking bed. It's late. Do you know what I mean?

And then obviously you've got everyone pulling in their like outdoor furniture and the heaters and stuff, what are Ick it? What do you mean? Like it's obviously all the places have got like outdoor care. Oh, sorry, I see what you mean.

Like everyone they're pulling them inside to shut. I get, I get it, yeah. So I was hearing like all the hustle and bustle of the end of the evening. Yeah. It was actually the middle of the next morning. But see if you're not, bothered by that I will let you know where I stayed

because I would recommend it apart from that that postery needed a wee wash but it wasn't like dirty it was just a bit done in so give us your top five must-does in Malaga right well I would say the castle for one yep here it comes it's got a funny name

Gibral Farrow I don't know if that's how you say it but just type what I just said G-I-B-R-A-L-F-A-R-O I kept calling it Gibraltar I just thought it looked like that. Anyway, I would say that, definitely walk up it. Maybe take a bottle of water.

And if you don't have one, take cash. Because I was a guy selling it, but it didn't take cards. We were audited. And then you can get to the top, and there's a wee bit that you pay three euros each or something like that, and it takes you into the actual top bit where the bar is. Worth it. For you, Sangria.

Absolutely. Picasso Museum, listen, I'm not really all Arts and Crafts that much I don't mind I love the Banksy thing because that's more like

cool and mysterious and I'm a bit like oh I don't know much about this so there's more to see whereas Picasso I thought he was quite shite right as an artist

yeah it was like he was just like la la la la la yeah it was like he wasn't even looking so there's different that with a lot of art it's shame they're like you're not really

that good no basically just did a few and then charge to you're like and somebody's paid it now you're big time. I know it's pathetic. Anyway.

I've just slagged fucking Picasso, but... I know, sorry about that. Truth bomb. I mean, it was absolutely packed. Picasso's going to sue me. It was packed to the brim, so people obviously love it. Yeah. However, there was a couple rooms in it.

I did one room and then sat in the sun because it's in a nice, like, open house thing. So there's, like, in that open square. What is it? You're laughing at. I did it is. So I just somebody for a minute. Yeah.

I mean, there's two people in this world. Little froggy's back. I can't be the laughing fits today. I know. Snap out of it. I can't. Boom. No, that's not to laugh anymore.

I know what you need to go to. The food market. Atta Zanas. Is it an indoor market or? Yeah, indoor market. but there is, like, rows of kind of high-stooled tables outside. Like time-out type vibe? Yeah.

Never been there. You know what a time-out market is. There's been quite a lot of cities. I know, but I've just never been. But I'm assuming it's like a lot of the markets you can get like fresh juices at the fruit ones and then like grilled prawns and all that, the fish ones. And then there was a bar so you could sit out there by a wee drink and a wee nibble. The best are?

I would recommend doing that. Lovely. And then I just think go and fill yourself up with a little. pass and sang dear. Yeah. Or an apparel spritz. What was that breakfast place you sent me? Gorgeous.

Anna La Fantistica. That one? No, that wasn't it. What's wrong with my accent? No, it was perfect. That wasn't it. That was in a place called I got an assay bowl.

Mm-hmm. And brunch it, it was called. There's quite a few of them. That was it. Brunch it. And I will be honest, see if you seat it from the outside, you wouldn't go in.

Right. Because it's all the flowers around the door, quite like gimmicky, Instagrammy but 10 year ago do you know what I mean? Yeah like the kind of neat you anyway the food was unreal so I would really like white's cover

no absolutely not and that I did not do so go there definitely loads options in the menu we all had a great time and then if you want a really good pastry Anna La Fantastica that's when I got the quasson filled with pistachio cream oh yeah yeah you loved that didn't you it was really good I love pistachio

and where did you find your recommendations or did you just stumble on them or did you bit Googling I would love to say I take credit for all this however TikTok's got a lot to answer for yeah okay secondly loads of people I put it on my IG story and loads of people messaged so they did because you said quite a lot of places to go for tapas but it's hard because everywhere looks good yeah so I didn't actually get to go to a couple of them because we stumbled across something that looked And what's the one that your mum loves? Or a gambass peopoe.

Fucking hell. She went on about her gambas peel the whole time. Casalola. There's a few of them, but I would recommend going there. But yeah, that's really it. Sounds amazing. Went to the shops. The shops are good.

Big shopping street. Zara, Stradividevades, Sephora. They're all so cheap as well. I actually don't buy a single thing. Can you believe that? No. Do you know what it was? You do realize it's the stuff at home.

to an extent right they just merchandise it better i know and obviously you're looking at summer stuff in a summer climate yeah so it's a bit more appealing yes but also i was roasting hot so i couldn't be bothered trying and yeah you don't want to not try and then you can't even do you what i mean and then sephora i'd got quite a few new bits recently so i don't really need anything yeah oh they've got a sephora they have they that's good and there's quite a lot of brands not in it that i would say I quite like these days, so I just was a bit like... There's a Sephora coming to Manchester Trafford Centre, by the way. I was there last week.

Is there? That's going to be our most closest one to us. I thought that was worth shouting out. It's not open yet. I mean, because I do have a UK website now. Yeah. But I'm not really into that. But I feel like Sephora is the same as Space NK now.

It is a bit. Space NK is really... You know what? Boots. I've said it before, but Boots is good as well now. The premium boots around you. Premium boots, yeah. What else was going to say to you? and you've got New York in three weeks with your mom

I'm going to bloody NYC The Big Apple Jesus A city that never sleeps I'm a busy woman You're a busy lady It's exhausting I'm going to see Belle Joel

Yeah That's really cool Sing his son I can't It's not really my key Do it in your key Always a woman to me Oh yeah

Is that good? So I told someone I was going to see him and asked me if you were still alive. You know what? When you said me that, I was about unsure as well. More songs than you know. Love it, Billy Joel. Anyway, what the frick and frick have you been up to? Because I feel like I don't have a clue what you've been doing.

Because I've been off Insta. You know, well, yeah, and I've just, I don't know. I feel like I've not physically stopped, but also have, if that makes sense. You've been living your life without me in. it. Yeah. Not by choice. That's your own problem. It's a sad day. So I think I've been getting briefly ready exercising for Berlin on the weekend. Yeah. Hi-Dox number three. Three. Tris. CBA, if I'm honest. I'm fluent in Spanish, no matter. Yeah. Oh, I've got a funny thing to tell you. So it's on my iPad. I start watching this program, which we'll get on to in a minute. And I looked, I really hope this has

having to many of the people but I looked at my duolingo you know the little owl yeah and he was dead right and I'm like why is my duolingo owl dead he's literally got loads of wrinkles and he's like that and I just checked here on my phone and he's not he's alive but it's because I've not downloaded it but they must change the icon when you've not been on it for so long that's brilliant from you so yeah that means my Spanish is not fluent as yours because my owl is Speaking of that, though, my mum has got a streak on Duelanga. I might have touched this before. Yeah, so she's just been constant.

It's 1,400 and something days. So she must be quite good at it, by the way. Yeah, she's not missed a day in that whole time. She does it, like, in the toilet pubs and all that to get, so she doesn't lose her streak. Can I say I fucking think, she'll be annoyed with saying that because she can, right? She's actually quite good. But I need her to be fluent. At this point, do you know what I mean?

Like, if I'm doing that for a month, I want to be fluent. Never mind. Listen, if you were going to go out, though, I felt like I did it for a bit, like New Year, New Year, New Me, all that. And I can really recognise words when it's like, what is this man, woman? And it's like, yeah, well, that's clearly like that's what she says.

But for me to then somebody say, right, say it in a sentence, you have to basically live in that city or country and or speak to somebody fluently. Yeah, you do. For a while for you to actually pick up. It needs to be an act of, because like doing it on that app is great. And as you said, she could read things quite well. Yeah.

And remembered basics like bills and. stuff like that, whereas someone tells me that, and I forget two minutes later when it is. What is it? La Quenta. La Quinta, for a while. But she obviously does know quite a lot, but I just, I couldn't do something for so long

and not be then fluent. I'd be done it in. Spanish, I'd love to learn. Anyway, so I'll go back to what you've been up to. Yeah, so I've been briefly getting ready for Berlin, which is on Saturday. So next time we speak, I'll have done it. So this is the one where I'm doing it with my friend Rebecca,

and it's the open one, women's, where hopefully I get a good time. but I'll be honest of you I've really slacked I don't think I'm going to get the time that I so confidently said a few weeks ago but I'm going to try if I can beat my time with me and Richard

then I'll be happy No one can remember what you said Sven sub 110 Which just reminds everyone Yeah but I don't mind Because I'm not bothered I would of course I would love that But looking into it I'm like

That actually is really hard And it is Rebecca's first hierox as well And you were seeing earlier It's all outside this time Yeah so for anyone that cares which they probably don't but Berlin Hirox is now going to be all outside

but this is the cool part which I think is really cool we're running on a old airfield so it's one from like World War II it's obviously not functioning but we're running the full 1K lap

you never know I know yeah we can discuss that soon Zoe texts in the group chat like guys I'll be actually going to war so get ready with me for war get ready with me for the trenches it's not even funny but it is, it's just, the Gen Z are not going to war, let's face it, they are too lazy.

They can never. They can never. They could never. So the 1K loop, which if you've ever been to another one, sometimes it'd be quite confusing. It's like two laps of the building or two and a half, sometimes three on some and then two. But this is a full one K lap of the airfield outside. I really hope it doesn't rain. And then the rest of the, all the stations are all outside as well. So it's going to be quite an experience. But I do think if you are going for it in like a competitive way where you want to beat a previous time, that's where I feel like it may be a little bit unfair, because

well, either way, it might be really beneficial. I might actually be really beneficial. But if it's raining, then you're traipsing in wet shoes when you're trying to push a sled and pull it and slipping doing burpees, all that bollocks. I feel like they must not get rain at this time of year because that would be a really stupid decision. Yeah, you know what I mean?

There was a lot of angry Germans in the comments. Like, was there? Yeah, they were like, what happens with like, how is that fair? and I thought, oh, I personally was buzzing. I'm excited to have like a different, because all it is, is just a fucking fun workout. But I guess there are people that are there that are wanting to beat previous time.

And then that's not fair. Absolutely. Anyway, so I'm doing that on Saturday, but I'll be honest of you, there's 10 of us going. I'm actually really looking forward to going back to Berlin because I've done a bit of research and there's a few places I really want to tick off the list

and do it quite differently. Praying for good weather because there's a few rooftop bars I want to go to where it's quite edgy and then a big gorgeous place on the lake in Berlin where it's got canal boats and a nice place to lunch where I'm going to try and go

on Friday. Sounds gorgeous. Tried to book as awesome thing on Saturday night. No one would let 10 people in. They're like that one mind went, that is an event. You have to call months in advance for that. I was like, oh, alright then fine. So that was a hard note. So I've been getting ready for Berlin a little bit.

I've had quite a lot of work of stuff to do which has been quite exciting. You were really boss, bitch, productive though, that was away. I was. Podcast bits. There was lots going on for that, so that was quite good.

And then, guys, I went to probably one of the best events I've been to ever. Oh, fuck, yeah. And I'm annoyed at myself because I wasn't going to go. And those nights where you least expect it are good,

aren't they? Always. So, we've discussed before, but I am a member of Soho House, which is, is, was coming to Glasgow. hopefully as soon, but they do this thing, if you are a member, called Cities Without Houses. So all the cities around the UK or the world, actually, that don't have a house but potentially

will, and there's got a lot of creative people in that space, they allow you to have a membership, it's cheaper. You still have access to all the houses around the world, but because you don't have one here, they put on events. And it hasn't been one for a while, if I'm honest. And in the app, I noticed there was one coming at the gate, which was near the Barra's, if anyone doesn't know. I think we've mentioned it on our pod about places to go. Places to go that are good cocktails for an older crowd. Anyway I said to my friend Nat who is also a member

she does my lashes. I says, do you fancy this because she's not been to an event yet? She was like absolutely. So booked it on the app. It's free. Unlimited drinks as well which I always forget about that. That's well good. I think it's just because they try and put it all out for you. Yeah. So got to the gate

and I hadn't been before. Love it. Really nice cocktail. And I'm right and saying that's a tiny wee place. Yes, right next to the sex shop that we went in that time and went in, met with Nat, sat with Poppy who's the membership manager here in Scotland and she was like, right, drink you drink. We've got a surprise and I was like, what? We're not actually staying here in the gate

because I did think I thought, what's going on? Like, what is this? Not really at dinner. But I knew we were getting fed though, but I was aware the gate isn't somewhere you eat. Yeah. And then she went, right, we're going to walk across to the barrows. The barrows is the big indoor market,

people that aren't um from here it's like a very legendary um market old school market place wouldn't you say that is still kind of like now it's a bit more edgy up and come in you've still got your people in the streets heckling down like prices and things but show in words there are some really cool places to go and get some nice bits of bobb's in there anyway in vintage shops whatever but it was shut obviously so went in through the shutters and you may have seen on my Instagram already but there was like a long dining table

all set up beautifully like really cool so how it was but in the middle of the barras like old school marketing displays I don't know how to explain it but almost as if it was set up but just at shutting times you've still got the sort of feel of the

the market's still like set in like the 50-60s though do you know what I mean With all the old school posters Yeah And then the shutters were up for one of the food places And any foodies will know But behind there was Tom Kitchen Who is like one of the best chefs ever

Really famous Scottish chef Michelin's chef He was there So I turned around There's only 20 people in this city And I turned around and he was there And I went oh my God Tom Kitchen

And he looked to me laugh I was like I had no idea he was there A few people around the table did I went wait Are you cooking for us today And he was like yes So I obviously was fucking buzzing. I can absolutely imagine.

Because not everyone around that table when the creative industry are foodies. They're either in like the actors, singers. And I'm not saying that, but I really appreciated that. I was like, oh my God, I could have cried. Yeah, like it just doesn't mean the same to everyone else. People were laughing at me because I was, you know, I'm quite over the top. Anyway.

Steaming, I'd imagine. I was just trying to be cool. But I couldn't. You're like, I'll kill you. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm before. Bothered. And then read the men.

and it was, he said that this was one of his best things he'd done in his career, career, where it was, I really want to sort of showcase the Barra's history, which I don't know, because I never grew up in Scotland, but he said he texts so many friends that were like, right, what do you remember when you went to the Barriers as a kid? They were like, oh, the hot sugary donuts or the tonnecks tea cakes, the hot dogs, whatever. So he created like a Michelin style version of Scottish classic like pies. That's a bit all good idea. And it was just really cool.

But the pie was like bone marrow peas with like wagu, not wago beef because that's Japanese, but like scotch beef from the highlands. Orpany crab lobster rolls. Just so fucking good. And yeah, it was amazing. Then after that on the same night, so house. House of God's Glasgow Hotel has opened in the Merchant City. And I got invited to the opening, so did you, but you were away.

And a lot of people from Soho House went there because Mike, the owner, is also on the committee of that. So I felt like it was an after party for where we were, but it wasn't. And the honestly... It worked quite well, actually. It worked perfect. And LF System, who sings, Oh, we see his pain and about a passion. What I look at night. They were DJing.

So, again, shacked myself with excitement from that. And the cocktails, the roof top, it's just brilliant. The rooms, Mike's on an amazing job of it. It's far better, less dark, claustrophobic feel than Edinburgh, if I dare say that. I do love the Edinburgh one, but you know what I'm like with spaces. I do feel like you can feel a little bit like... I can't have a room without a window for a hotel. Yeah, and these do have them actually.

Amazing. They do. He also wanted that feeling that when you're in House of God, you feel like there's no other world outside of it. No, I know. I think there's a good balance, isn't there? Yeah. But this has got the rooftop garden, which is beautiful, gorgeous view of the city. And the crowd there was just the coolest people.

Again, I felt like I wasn't in Glasgow. Everyone there was older than me. Just amazing. Like, everyone came out for a drink Thursday night. I think that will keep an older audience. I hope so. I hope so. I really hope so.

The only thing is, it's so gorgeous that people might be like, oh, good for pecks. Yeah, there was a few people taking the peekie-wickies But anyway It doesn't go that way It was really nice space And I really recommend you go And what time in the morning Did you get in Jessica?

I got in at 4 am But I'll be honest if you right I feel you shaved an hour off of that there No, I was four It was definitely four Because hide and seat was only open until three And then I went to No, I could have said there all night

And then I went blue lagoon chippy And then yeah, got a taxi but annoyingly, well not annoyingly but my friend Nat lives in the south side and she couldn't get an Uber well she had no battery that was right and an Uber wouldn't pick us both up so I said to her look let's just get a black cab and he charged just to hers

and then hers to my... That took a good 40 minutes out of it anyway I just didn't want to go home it was one of those nights where I thought I was pissed off that I saw it was 1am I thought I've still got hours left in me yeah it was good you weren't fresh as a daisy

shall we say on the Friday, huh? No, I was not. No way near as bad as a hangover we had after the brunch, though. That was a week long. Life is for 11, Jessica. Oh, yeah. And like I say, it was an unexpected night out. Richard was shook to the call, and I think he got up in shock when he had the key in the door.

And he ran to the door naked, and he was like, I went, it's me, don't worry. He went, what time is it? I went, four. Like, you only said you were going out for dinner at six? He-hee. That is the best night So I do agree with you in that one

Yeah it was good Unplanned I'm trying to think what else I did I went to Ely Beach at the weekend That was gorgeous Went to a nice sauna And went and et At that Anstra

The fish bar The famous fish The famous Really nice experience guys I had I loved it The chips were absolutely not The best chips

I've had in the world Don't get the hype With that But I do Get the hype With the whole experience of it Yeah It was a very memorable

Time Even though I queued 40 minutes for some fish and chips when I think about it. Influx of messages from people that only the locals have been there there's a place called the Wii Chippy which is a few doors down

that everyone says is far superior so if anyone does go to Ely or St Andrew's Way or whatever and you want to go and get that and go to there if the queue for and Strother Fish Bar is too long. So that is basically all I've done really

with a few of the bits and bobs visit to Manchester but that seems like ages ago now. That does seem like ages ago. Yeah. Because was that just the weekend after we were last here? Yeah. I went to Bukston, saying a nice Airbnb and went to Manchester for the night with Rich.

No air to really shout about. I went to the firehouse again, but there was nothing really I didn't go anywhere new, no. Oh actually, I went to a place called DiCast, which is a great place to go if you're in a group of people. So fun, actually. What kind of place? I think like Dockyard Social but far more.

bigger events on different rooms owned by the same people of Firehouse actually really recommend that I might go to Manchester and June actually yeah you'd love it there rightly I said it's Dakota so it was right next to that yeah my wee sister just got a new job in it so the Dakota Hotel you're essential yeah oh wow love father

quite a good job that in it it's really good shout out I just have a couple of thoughts just going back to being in holiday by the way I'll say them really quickly one being why does all the toilets in those wee tapass bars have no soap have like barrels all around them there's just like shit lying everywhere but it's okay it's fine I think it's fine Spanish it's just fine it's like the toilets in the back wee room it's like in the room that they could only find yeah do you know what I mean they don't dedicate a toilet space yeah they just shove it in whatever we cupboard there is at

the back basically yeah I was thinking about that quite a lot because some of them didn't even have locks the doors and stuff? No. Secondly, holiday related is how good does the shower feel at home, the first one? Far better. Done it?

Yeah. Froggy's back. He is after today. I just think that first shower is just unbelievable. Oh my God. You've never felt cleaner in your life. A couple of things I've watched. We'll keep this brief.

I went to the cinema to see a film called Civil War. Didn't want to go. kicking and screaming. Fucking brilliant it was. Right, I'd like it to go to the cinema soon so maybe I'll go see that. Yeah, I think you would like it. It was super intense. Anyone good in it? Yes. Oh, Julia's style.

Have I made... No, not Julia Stiles. She's from flipping cursing dunce. Right. And I believe the guy in it, I could be wrong, but I think he's Narcos. I didn't ever watch that, but I know who it is. Yeah.

It's really cool Really enjoyed it Richard wanted to see it It said it's a really good director Can't for the life Let me tell you what else he's directed But something that he loves And what's that thing

You've all been banging on in the chat about Baby Rain Deer Is that good? Weird What's that about? It's about a true story About a woman From Edinburgh

She was a convicted stalker And she stalked this comedian He was working at the fringe For six months Fucking out He's tolerated it for a long time until it got to the point where it was super uble weird but the guy playing the guy in it apparently is the guy which I find odd I find that odd I was watching it

thinking none of this is adding up and I believe he some of it is dramatized but I just don't understand or have much sympathy for someone that entertained this for that long knowing that she was a convicted convicted stalker and you're then able to play that character that's what I was just going to say, like, surely you'd be quite traumatised by that. Because she's, because she's scary. Right. And she does certain things like sexual harassment and things that are, that would traumatise you.

Yeah. How are you, I mean, I'm only two episodes in, so maybe my answers will, my questions will be answered. But I don't understand how a man, or anyone for that matter, could play a role when you were sexually harassed. And you're like, be 11 experiences. I don't get it. Yeah.

Unless he wanted to and he wants to portray his story. and he wrote it then I get it but I just find it really difficult to sympathise at the moment and what you mean and I do think there's so many points I'm like you could have just walked where you could have reported to please you continued and continued

to entertain this woman but yeah like I say my questions may be answered in a few episodes maybe he is troubled and I was going to speak to you about a trailer that I watched two trailers I watched in the cinema one have you seen the new Joker's coming out yeah and I thought the trailer that I did see on social media

was really clever with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn yep I know she is but the trailer I did see was only just him walking and doing that laughing thing like that's all it was and I just thought I love it that's really pulled me in I love that she's a scene of her in the trailer

where she draws a bit of lipstick across the clear screen while they're in the prison together And then she's like, I just want to see you smile, just red lips, then he puts his lips to it, and then he does his weird little joke, so it looks like a joker face. Very cool. I actually just really like her in films. She's a great actress.

Which I think might be quite a controversial thing to say. But a star is born made me like her. Same. I thought she was a Taylor Swift pest before. She also, she also was in the... House of Gucci? You are correct, that's a great film. And she played a great person in that.

I forgot that film exists. I'd like to watch that again. Long. Three hours long. I went to the cinema. I was not at the end of it. And another one we want to discuss. Back to Black.

Amy Winehouse films coming out. Need to go and see that. Have you seen who's cast as Amy Winehouse? Yeah. Thoughts? I'm not sold yet. I'm not. The forced London accent

for me in the trailer, I was like, this is not working for me, honey, and I really hope you pull it through because she deserves you to do this justice. They can't butcher her through a film. That's just not okay, my opinion. The person that would have played her perfectly

would have been Ray. I know I've seen a lot of people say that, but she probably wasn't a boot early enough. She wasn't a boot early enough. She didn't blow up on TikTok enough. So talking about things blown up on TikTok Let's move on a little bit to Coachella. The Influencer Olympics.

I would like you to discuss your thoughts. I actually really enjoy seeing everyone go to Coachella. And I do quite like, obviously, Jolie goes and has for the last few years with a brand. Yeah. And I like that. Because I like seeing almost like the groups. Yeah.

Of people, it's quite an easy way to see what's happening. But I do prefer the sort of like chilled... like as if you're a local side of it, do you know what I mean? Like you can tell the local celebs from the influencers miles apart. Oh, miles apart. I think if you ever look in the background

of all these influencers pictures, have a look at all the other people there. They are dressed so normal. And I do think that there's a certain amount of people that don't enjoy Coachella because they think it is rammed with influencers but actually looking at it in the background, I don't think it is.

It looks like a non-crowded, cool festival with little trouble I don't know it just looks like a good vibe I think I still have no intention of wanting to go if I'm honest I went through a stage of wanting to go but now it's not something

and I'll tell you why I don't know a single I'll take that back take it back I need you to keep that in it's fucking brilliant we need to pull it back now I don't know who's sweet like that

normally anyway I don't know a single person that plays there they are a lot of them are TikTok heavy or we just not cool enough Zoe I think we're not judging us

we're not jizzy enough no I don't even think it's that it's like it's very I don't know what the word is like it's I don't think it's it yeah like not my sort of music really yeah I would enjoy it if I was there

yeah do you know what I think Zoe there's a lot of people that play there that you don't realise that the songs that the songs that you like that's exactly that they're featured in people like Drake or Justin Bebo or whatever there's a lot of people like that

that then they're now coming up into their own and these sort of gigs are what makes them pop off. No I know because they always end up bringing on people like Justin Bieber Yeah, that's great. Right, so that's because that's actually their song and I just assume it's Justin's song. Yeah. Another thing I wanted to mention as well

with all the fashion side of things I would love, let's use Jilly for an example, right? So Jilly, how it works with these influencers go with brands, which I'm sure it's not rocket science, but they have to choose their outfits from that collection and that collection only. I'm sure they can style it however they like with accessories and stuff. But I would love to see

Gilly, for example, go to Coachella off her own accordor which I think she has done before. I think she has, yeah. Was it last year or the year before? I think it was a couple of years back. And I'd love to see what they pick. No, I know what you mean.

But then, for example, we've got Sophia and Chincia who, I don't really consume my content, myself with their content that much, but I saw what they wore, and I don't think they went with a brand. No, they didn't. And again, I think they're... That was a wedding guest outfit for me.

Yeah, their outfits were definitely, well, definitely rented for a start because one of them was like three grand, wasn't it? Must have been. I mean, that's smart, I think. But I, I don't know. Do I hate it? Do I not? I'm not sure.

I do agree it's wedding guests, but did they get away with it? Yeah, because it's their sort of style. And on, it's just for our entertainment to see, isn't it? Yeah. It's fine to like it or not. because that's kind of the whole that's what we want to see and then kind of give her thoughts of

because I wouldn't wear anything like I wouldn't wear any of the outfit that a jilly wore this weekend but she looked fucking amazing in every single one and I think that's the beauty of it you're looking at outfits that are totally not your style

you would never even think to put them together and all these cool girlies make it work and you just like I'm just thinking about the nervous breakdown I would have if I was going there same I just and it's hot as well

yeah but apparently freezing at night what would us people that don't like to show any part of skin be wearing to such a vent jeans and a t-shirt I personally would be wearing Levi jeans cowboy boots and a nice top and doing my hair cute

I just would I can't I can't be that try hard and do something that does not work for me it's simple as that you would maybe see me in like a kind of floaty skirt with some dogs yeah yeah cute The way we would go to Transmit, do you know what I mean?

It doesn't. Yeah. Maybe I would do a little bit more of an effort. I don't know. I haven't been so. I would pleat at the front. But I feel like I would feel pressured to make... Oh, I know I would.

And that's just not me. I'm such an easy dresser. Things, I cover myself up as much as I can. Yeah. If I'm in the summer, you wanted me to get skin out. Strugs. People go with bras on? Bras and wee shorts.

Listen, Fairfax. If I had that bod, I would have gone. naked. I would have just a sheer vest. Yep. No I think that if I was an influencer and I had like the body and all like that as well I would be going there every year. Fucking great for content.

Fab. That is your time of year to shine. Yeah and I think LA is so beautiful this time of year and September like the spring vibes the beginning and end of summer our summer is such a gorgeous time to go L.A. love love love love love so yeah that's our roundup of Coachella I think I didn't really see an awful lot again because I've been off Instagram but I'm just

getting my news from TikTok at the moment but the I felt like it kind of felt cool again every time I see crowds of Coachella I always think that looks dead like dead festival it's nothing like a UK festival but this year I felt like there was very minimal all phones out in the crowd when people recording sets it was people enjoying dancing in the space that they've got it wasn't rammed it just looked like a really nice fun festival this year and it was the first time i thought you know what i would enjoy that and there was quite a few surprise guests coming on with other people artists should i say i do love shit like that because you would buzz your tracks off if you were oh my god i saw jenny say that will smith came out i would have died

I know I said that to Jason They was like Why would you care you think about? I was like, it's well, Smith That's cool as fuck I love it I just love men in black album as well And

Justin Bieber I think I would have loved that I'm not a huge fan of him But again I would have loved it I think he brings the vibes Yeah And I love that remix he does with Thames Yeah

I don't need no other body Great fun Honey Dijon See I love that sort of music I'm a house girlie I do and I'm there Yeah It's just as you're just

as you said, I don't know the details behind these songs. I also would never know them to put them on. And do you know Michael Beebe? Yeah. He was just recovered... That's only why I know who he is though.

Yeah. You don't know any of his... Well, the help, pure, deep hat. Well, I would know them, but I couldn't tell you. Yeah. But anyway, he did a really nice set I think at the start where he did a bit more of a speech and it was live in the moment. Look at the person next year. I'd have probably bowed my eyes out. I loved it.

Yeah, like, live your life. Because you feel quite like that when you're doing something like that anyway. Yeah. Quite appreciative of your life and like how much fun you're having. And then if someone does spanning the works, tears. Yeah, it's you, Goner. That was us at Casey Lights, Pasha. That was an emotional one.

Anyway, I think that's it for the, uh, today's episode. Yep. I've actually got a really large life update that I forgot to say in that. What? Give us a clue. It's through with Quinn Man. Oh, come on, let's tell the main. We won't tease you and make you go over to Patreon for this. Fine. I've got an office.

That's shared space. Gorgeous. And I'm buzzing about it. Gets me at the house, do you know what I mean? And when do you get the keys for this? Friday. This week. I'll be in, I'll be productive, boss, bitch.

Boom, boom, boom. So, have you got any spaces for any social media management? or influence management on your books. Absolutely, always. So if anyone wants to join me and any businesses wants to join, Zoe's monster, hit her up. Hit me up.

You know where I'm. I feel like you need to get a few more like content creators on your books and it's definitely one of them where it's thinking the right person for you, isn't it? So if anyone out there is wanting to... It's a hard one because it's a very time-consuming almost like personal assistant

position which I love and thrive at yeah you do but with also then doing the other side of the business it's just hard to split the time do you know what I mean? Yeah because I feel like you enjoy managing me

a lot in the twin management side of things so I think you need to do more of that really well I know you I know you want to but it's finding the right people Yep, definitely. Because you can choose to be picky in this industry, can't you? You don't have to manage any old.
