Happy Tuesday, guys.
We hope you all had a fabulous...
Welcome to speak.
Back, bitches.
We've got a new set-up going on.
We have the bar cart at the back of us,
which has just made so much more sense, to be honest.
One, it's not hiding any of our body parts,
which is quite triggering.
Damn it.
But that's fine.
Secondly, you can just, if you're watching,
you can just put things down there.
A wee table.
A ledge for things.
we love it we also look like absolute let me just think of a word that's not too much for
this um podcast we also look absolute dick's that's not that bad why oh with our two big
stanley fucking kettlebells sitting here adenola jumpers basic bitchies the both of us yeah and who
cares we love a basic bitch give me a fee at 500 any day right a wee cow car I love it best
guy I've ever had.
So,
it was.
Mud Flowers of the week.
Guys,
gorgeous again.
We've got penis.
I think when we got them
a couple weeks ago,
we were like,
it was favouritism as
exclusive to 70.
So now you can officially
order your penis from mud.
So it's got to be penis
this week, girls.
Enjoy this very popular bloom
love Chloe.
Thanks, Chloe.
Gorgeous, so we know.
They are honestly
my favourite flowers in the world.
and this red
nice and open blooms
there's a little tight one there
on the left
gorgeous
tight one
hmm
um by the way
see just whilst I remember
see that strawberry vase we've got
yeah
I got one like that
out of Primark
yes I saw it in Prime Mark
actually
Primark Home
Primark Home
No
and it's a bit bigger
than that one
so if anyone's wanting one
we get ours in Amazon
but Primark also has them
Because that I think it was 20 quid
How much was yours
like nine pound or something probably
also can I just say this
this morning me and Zoe went to box it in shock our
standard Wednesday ritual
and she went oh my god it's the first of May
and I went oh and I got her arm and went
pinch punch I actually didn't say it out loud but I just pinched
her and punched her she went oh my god what are you doing
what do you mean what I'm doing
it was sore pinch punch for the first day of the month
and she was like what are you talking about
I was like please tell me you've heard of that before
and she's like never I'm telling you right now
that Alba Bruz there she's being
dramatic and then I went in and said to Mar
Mark, have you ever heard of Pinch Punch First of the Month?
And he was like, never.
Graham, have you ever heard of that?
Shut up.
It's obviously English thing.
A little boring, weird English.
Right, well, you know, it's funny.
As time goes on, we're learning more about one another.
This morning, we drove by Tinderbox, you know, the coffee shop in Glasgow.
And so he was like, I said, when I first moved to Glasgow eight years ago,
I remember when that was, like, the place to go for.
coffee and so he was like isn't that all over the uk i was like no maybe it is now i don't know but
i'm pretty certain that is a glaswegian company well i looked it up and it said it was but i think
tinderbox is quite right yeah maybe now because it's just got too huge big for its boots you know but
back in the day it was actually it's nice coffee i can't comment on the coffee but what i can comment
on is the lack of options food wise agree but maybe that's not if coffee's their thing maybe the
food's just an extra bonus for people do you know what I mean it's not their focus I do fully agree
with you there and we spoke about on our patron episode last week about how I say the certain um
words you guys put in front of others obviously Zoe ripped the fuck out of me too and I totally agree
but we were saying about the jail and how you put the though in front of the jail and in our
patron chat people like yeah but how else do you say it and I'm like because one girl says
oh I work in the jail how else I'm meant to say that I'm like you say I work in a jail I work in a prison
No, excuse me, there was a message that said people up and down the UK say the jail.
No, she said she works down there.
She's from up here and she works down there and have heard people say it.
That's not true.
It's a load of rubbish.
No, she said she's travelled up and down the country and hear other people say it.
It's not true.
Absolutely, as Jessica.
But I listened to a TikTok and I looked at the comments about somebody saying you put in the
and the jail had thousands and thousands of likes next to it
because people agree of like how hilarious that sounds.
I think it just makes it all sounds slightly more aggressive.
It's just part of the...
Scottish heritage.
He's getting the jail.
And there's something else that you say as well that I've noticed,
which I'm pretty certain, again, is not even a word,
but you say out with.
You are correct.
Am I?
We do, but again, is that Glasgow?
Or is that Scotland as a whole?
Not sure, but it's not...
It's no one else says it.
Do they not?
But I understand the context of what you're saying though
So let's say you said
Let's have a discussion out with this podcast
I'd get what that meant
But when I think about it
I haven't ever used that phrase
Or heard it outside of Scotland
I actually think I say that quite often
You do, you do say it a lot
It makes you sound extremely intelligent
I was going to say that's one of my professional words for sure
When it's even not a word
And I love it
It's not even English and it makes me sound professional
I was better than kicking the balls in it
Oh and there was one more thing as well
What do you say
If you have the runs
Because Richard said something to me yesterday
Like um
The Shits
Oh no he called it something
I went where's that idea
Goem with S
Skitters
That's it
And he went oh I've got this
Something he wasn't talking about himself to be fair
But it was talking about the skitters
Or something
The cats had the skitters
And I went
What
Oh no I would never say that
And he said his dad's
says that, but his dad's from the borders.
Are you saying that because it's a
Glasgowian thing? It's Scottish. I don't
if it's Laswegian, but it's Scottish.
Skitters. So that's another thing I've learnt this week.
I fucking love it, guys. I note them down
on my notes all the time. I'm like, you guys just
honestly fascinate me!
So much!
We've got an exciting
box behind me. Oh!
Yes. Are you ready?
Yep.
I just had to do some acrobatics
to get there. I can't clothe my shoulder at
socket what a word
the little
box of pies it's a bit battered now
bless him from the pie man
the famous pie man
so Jess went to
Addison Food Market on Sunday don't you
and he gave us these
so I went over and introduced myself
because I always forget if I say this on the
side dish or the main but some
lovely girl messaged me to say that she'd
been to the pie man
mentioned that we speak about it a lot on the
podcast and he said he'd heard of us and he was completely mind blown how social media works
anyway there wasn't a cue so I thought I'm gonna I would never know me dare do this but I thought
I'm gonna go over to him I was like hi-care because I do speak to him a lot but I don't think he would just
have a flipping clue who well why would it he wouldn't have a clue it was so I went over I was like
hi care I'm just going to introduce myself I'm Jess from the podcast I just said the podcast I'm
presuming not many people talked to him about a podcast well you wouldn't think and he was like oh oh my
goodness oh my goodness and he started speaking about god knows what and then um yeah he gave us this
box of lovely chimini pies bless his heart so i'll tell you what's in here pulled ham and chicken
gorge mince and onion salt and chili chicken curried cauliflower steak chicken cheese and broccoli
haggis chicken and peppercorn sauce that's Jason's favourite it chicken and chorizo chicken and leek
chicken curry, chicken and mushroom
pepper steak with black pudding
oh you're fighter
I'd like that one
Rich had the salt and chili chicken last night
as you can see there's a couple of pies
gone
yeah I noticed that actually
but you just air-fied them a think
but you know what I love about this
if you're looking on the camera
sorry if you're feeling that
but it's like a pie chart
you get it
I just think that's really intelligent
so clever
but what I was thinking
this was a good to shout out on the podcast
because this little box of mini pies you can buy,
and it's all box up nice and professional.
I think this is a great gift for Father's Day.
Isn't that coming up, June?
By the way, you're right, that's quite cute.
Yeah.
So to be fair, it's a great gift for anyone.
It doesn't even need to be Father's Day,
just your brother or literally, I'd be buzzing my tits off if I ever think that.
Anyone present of that kind of thing?
Yeah, I think, and maybe you'll need to find out where the hell you can buy it from
because they're pie shops in Dumfries.
Yeah, something like that.
But maybe they ship across the UK, is my point.
So if anyone listen to this, that's not in Scotland.
It's such a perfect gift.
And I think people buzz off it.
For sure.
And we're not going to eat on today's episodes
because we were very conscious that...
It went on a lot.
We were eating a lot last week.
And that's a shame for everyone's ears.
But in return, we're going to talk a lot about food
because we've eaten well this week, haven't we, girly?
I've no been in.
I've not.
No being at home.
Also, also, also, our vlog went out on Patreon.
Bloggers.
As we've said many, many times before, we give the side dish over there,
but we also do one special episode a month.
And this month we went out of the studio and went on tour around the south side.
I said to Zoe, I don't think we ever spoke about where we went, but we did Luna, Henry's.
Cheebo.
Is it Cheebo or Cebo?
It's Cheebo, I've found out.
Cheebo.
actually unbelievable Italian by the way
couldn't make it more so good
we went there for food actually
we also went to Charlie Browns
love do you know what Zoe
I tagged them remember when I
shared it on just Jess and I said
here's the link to watch the vlog
the owner woman replied like oh thanks girls
and then she must have clicked on our page
and realized that it was a podcast
so her partner was the girl that served us
and she must have said all two girls from a podcast came in
and she went oh god I can't remember
a name for the life of me but she said that we were so sound and that we welcome back any time
we are sound yeah we are sound she looked at us so where else we went to big counter for food
to end the night guys big counter one of the best best places i've eaten this year
memorable i think it was memorable because of what we did though no i know i think it was the
whole experience of that day we were going to have a swama king and decided to have a flipping
full on steak dinner with and rich joined us it was just funny we were half-cooked weren't we
And did you mention Henry's?
Yeah, Henry's was good.
Where was the other place we went?
Ryan's Bar.
Great.
Really liked it in there.
Loved it in there.
I'll definitely go back.
Old man pub vibes, but...
Edgy cool.
Cool.
It's the only way I'd say, but candles and stuff kicking about.
A DJ comes at like, what, 8, 9?
Yeah.
And then it's on all night.
Loads of nice drink options as well.
Anyway, if you want to watch the full of that, you can go on there.
But we really enjoyed that.
so anyway let's talk about what we've eaten this week
and we've got a shared a lot on our plate emotional
which is so excited
are a lot on our plate physical and emotional
shared this week I would say
we were together all weekend
although there was one place I went after the podcast
last week which I'd like to shout about
I went to TIPO in Edinburgh
with my friend Alice
who works in like he has a really cool job actually
working in travel and all that
but anyway she was up for work
and we went, I think it was T, I think that's how you say, T-I-P-O, and it's the same sister brand as Notto, Leila, I think it's Leila, I can't remember, anyway, you'll know what it is when I say it, I can't remember it's off my head, but again, excellent, Notto is actually one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh, small plate, seasonal vibe.
As good as you expected it to be? Yeah, it was really nice, really cool, lovely service, amazing cocktails. The Tiramisu dessert was easily the best tiramisu dessert, was easily the best tiramistau.
probably ever had and I think that's a massive shout. It's Italian by the way. The pasta vodka
pasta vodka pasta wasn't the best but it was good but when you've eaten it at Lulu's you've got high
expectations. I know and also do you know what it is about that? It's such a basic dish. I know and they
can't get it by it's not saucy enough. But there's just like even though it's so basic there's a severe
good and bad
agree
way it can go
do you know what I mean
like how can anyone
get it wrong
I'm not getting it
and if you want to try
a really good one
just go on
this girl called
Just Just Just Foods page
and honestly
it's the best recipe
you'll ever have
in your life
I thought I was
I'm going to say
just got on a flight
to Valdezair
and go to Louis
yeah
and all that
or that
Paris
it's all be easier
yeah
probably is
right so let's
talk about
where we've eaten
then shall we
right so
our plans
weekend plans
Friday night
we were at yours
our friend Molly
came up from London by the way
who we hadn't seen a year
which we mentioned last week
she's thus like
the Tasmanian devil
is the best way to describe that girl
no I don't even think
there's any way to describe her
there's no words
no words
she's just so funny
she doesn't stop talking
to breathe for three days straight
she's me times a thousand
yeah
and says that I don't speak
that's good
it's what he said on Saturday night
I've got
I saw throat. She went, why
you're not fucking spoke one word
or not? Oh, she's so
witty, and she. Look, because we were in
Locale, and I was like, it was really live music, and I
do, I would say I've got quite a general
sort of, like, soft voice.
Bad throat in a way, like, I get,
as soon as I am at, like, a concert or whatever,
and I'm singing loud and shouting, whatever, I do feel it the next
day on my throat. So I'd say, it was so loud
in there, so I'd said, like, oh, my throat's getting
sore from shouting, and that's when she was like,
you've not spoke a fucking word.
And I was like, no, I have, you just don't listen.
And then it almost on Friday night.
She went, Zoe, you're really quiet.
And then you went, I'm always quiet.
She went, no, I'm not telling, I'm not saying that you've been quiet.
It's like, I'm just telling you.
Just telling you as a person you're quiet.
Thank you.
Bare in your mind, I'm sitting here chatting fucking three hours, four hours straight.
Like, I'm not quiet.
She used to call you that girl from Pitch Perfect.
That whispers when she speaks.
Oh, Zoe, I love it so much.
Anyway, we went to Jetsies on Friday night for a kind of Mexican vibe.
Molly's vegan, so I don't know.
I'd just make some Chipotle.
Like vegan Chipotle.
Olive flour.
It was actually really nice.
Chipotle.
Chipotle's my life.
You've seen that video.
You've sent that before.
Great of you to say it.
Ironic.
So anyway, did that Friday night, a few of picantes.
Yeah.
By the way, I freeze the ice cubes with the red chili.
And the key is, guys, if you wanted to make cool ice cubes, you need to use bottled water.
Did you know that?
What's the difference?
It just makes it super clear.
That was so English.
Super clear.
Was it?
How is I was saying?
Super clear.
So you need to use Evian is the best water.
Oh, God, hide money.
And then you just pour it in like...
I know our Highland Spring.
I actually love Evian.
I'm a snob.
I would choose either Evian Highland Spring,
but the one with the top that comes off with a wee bit
that you would like suck out of you and not like...
Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
It's a very large bottle.
What else is there?
You've got that water, Fiji water.
No.
What's the other one with the blue?
Volvic
Volvick
I think I would avoid
Volvick in Buxton
Volvick that's a greeny colour now
Fiji water
There's canned waters now
I don't like drinking water from my can
Same
It's weird
I asked Becky to get me
A water at the office on Monday
And I was on a call
When she came back into the room
So I didn't really notice her putting it down
And then I thought
Oh she forgot to get that water
And I realised
And it looked like a can of fucking Stella
Guys, I love Scottish tap water
It's so fucking good
And you know, just talking of water quickly
Do you remember when we went to that
Mitching star
At restaurant on the top
The highest point of
Bandsere
Yeah, what was that?
The Glacier point
It was the highest
Michelin Star restaurant in the world
Or was it in Europe?
It might have been the world
I think it was the world
Anyway, it's when we went skiing
And we had
That glass bottled
Exclusive Evian
It was Belmain or something
Yes
It was Balmain Evian
In a glass bottle
And I kid you not
We were in a private dining room
That was amazing wasn't it
That was like
Who did we think we are
But I didn't give a fuck
And you
It snails
I liked them
That was such a good trip
That was
Yeah that Evian
Tasted literally like Balmain Evian
Yeah it did
We were all like
Fucking it down at me
What?
They were like
Bill at the end
We were like
Whoa, yeah
Anyway
Sorry, Diagraising.
Look at her, we love digressing.
Went to Jessie's on Friday.
Saturday we'd get up and went to a boxing class.
Amazing.
There was five of us.
And we've all been sore since.
It was so good.
It was so good.
My face was ready for three hours after it.
Like we were sweating buckets, weren't we?
Yeah.
Anyway, did that.
Then went to kudos.
Kudos.
Again, amazing.
For brunch.
We all got an asai bowl.
Yep.
And then shared.
a big
what was that
a big
croissant thing?
It was like a cookie quasson
it's a new craze
on TikTok
croissant
crookie
I think it's a crookie
fuck no
I think it's a crooky
and it had
like cookie dough
kind of like in it
like it was like layered
and then it had
a big cookie bit
on top of it as well
my chocolate
we wanted the
pistache one didn't we
but
it's all that
and then
we all went home
got ready
for a night out
we went to West Side Tavern
for a couple of drinky-pooze
I had the tapped paloma
I love them there
you had apparoles
a couple of apparoles
with lemonade dough not soda
yeah
me and jelly have that
because I don't think
we like soda
and then we went to
Sylvan
yep for dinner
we did
what have I got to say
about Silvan
right let me think about this
so
see if
If you're, right, I just feel like you could go into your neighbour's garden and pick as much greenery and plants and earthy food out of that garden for free as you could eat in that restaurant.
It's cheap though.
It was £30 each and we had cocktails in about 20 dishes?
I have leaves.
She's completely exaggerating, guys, it was fucking gorgeous.
No, right, I take it all back.
It actually was really nice food.
But I agree, like you do miss that sort of element of meaty or substantial something.
They don't do any meat, by the way.
No, it's veggie.
No, no, no, no, it's fully veggie.
Yeah, fully veggie slash vegan.
Which the stuff was really nice, but as you said, it's like all that stuff was great,
but I wouldn't mind maybe like a bit of salmon or, you know, like the kind of main part of the dish.
I agree with you.
But you know, with all the salads that we ordered, they did taste phenomenal.
Yeah, they did.
The dressings were great.
Everything was so amazing in flavour
and the cocktails were really well done
and it was so busy in there.
We actually ended up going half an hour early
because we got the time mixed up
so we went over to the drake for a drink in between
but usually they can just sit you at the bar
and seat you within a 10 minutes.
Do you want to mean with the couldn't?
They had no space.
That drake was nice, I've never been there before either.
Yeah, that's a nice wee pub vibe.
Yeah.
It's quite good for a roast as well.
Definitely takes off a few places and then we ended in the night
by walking across to locale, which again, I've never really spent an evening there and super edgy vibes.
Wow.
Very hip-star.
The music was actually really good.
Yeah.
Older crowd for sure.
I thought it was a mix of like older Gen Z, but also there was older people there as well.
It was a good mix.
I think people who are really into their music or do a bit of DJ in themselves.
I like it.
It's quite a good place for that because it is proper DJing without it being too.
You don't need to love that type of music to,
like I didn't really notice the music apart from when I liked songs.
I wasn't like, ooh, that's a shit.
Yeah, because I'm not into that sort of music,
do you know what I mean?
It's quite a random mix of music.
The way they played Beyonce as we were leaving,
it was a really good song.
Like a mix of it.
And then it went straight into sort of like, I don't know,
house.
Loved it.
Anyway, I definitely recommend,
but I'm sure lots of you be listening to this.
Oh my God, so as I've been speaking here,
my phone,
my phone has written down every single thing we've said.
So yeah, I'm sure if you have heard of a locale.
We did say it's one of those places that every second person you can imagine is probably
get a wee man bag on them.
Do you know, yeah, definitely.
Doing a bit of dealing in there.
Oh yeah, for sure.
But when we were speaking about places to go for an older crowd, I would suggest there and
Chinaski's next door, which we had every intention of going, but we just never got around
to it, did we?
No.
I think we'd all just had a really good day.
one felt the need to kind of like continue the night, stay out, feel shit the next day.
And I think as well when you've eaten, it's hard to really pick it up.
Keep going sometimes, yeah.
But it was a great night.
And then Sunday, myself and Molly and Richard went for breakfast at Lateria, which is in Udingston.
And then we all met for a roast at Stravegan.
Yeah.
Because they do a vegan roast option.
So again, really nice.
thoroughly enjoyed it actually
wasn't like the best I've had but it was it was all right
yeah it was nice the starter was the best part
haggie sneeps and tatties look I just don't think you can beat that
yeah we love haggis we've said it before but
I could have had that as a bigger dish as my meal yeah or that probably was enough
and we had whiskey sauce of it rather than pepper corn it was food and then
what's been a shared emotional
I mean, people might have seen this
Yeah, they will know this
But if you listen to Patreon
A few episodes ago
We discuss all of our yearly summer plans
Yeah, holiday plans
Yeah
And we said that we haven't been on one together
And we said where we wanted to go
And we are, we have booked Nashville
Yeha
We're so excited, aren't we?
I love that from us
I know and I just think
And you weren't going to come
I wasn't going to come
Because I've got New York
And another couple of holidays
before that and I'm not a great flyer either
I just the pressure of like
a girl's trip long haul
I was like if I have a fucking nervous break down
that plane it's no fun for anyone
anyway I thought get a grip yourself
yeah snap out of it
so anyway I booked it
and it was quite expensive actually wasn't it
yeah it didn't take any more convincing
than right come on Zoe and I was like right fine
but I just think
you don't often go
long distance with your pals
no this is like our Vegas
trip that we've always dreamed of doing together
No, we're still going to Vegas for my 30th.
Oh, yeah, we are.
We've decided that, yeah.
I'll be raising by them, but all right.
You'll need to leave the wains at home.
Fucking out.
I'll be 38.
No.
No, 36.
36.
Yeah.
Don't age yourself.
37 a month after.
No, you're only six years older than me.
Am I?
Yeah.
So don't worry about that.
Okay, that's good.
But it's a good step.
I'm still going to Vegas, do you know what I mean?
Yes.
So we booked our flights.
We're going for a week in September.
Yep. We've not booked our accommodation yet. Not yet. But I'm thinking we were toying between
hotel or like an apartment, Airbnb. I think we need an apartment. Yeah, me too. May too. So I think
we should definitely do that because more party vibes, isn't it? I feel like we're celebrating
one of our pals, Heather's 30th whilst we're there as well. We need to deck that place out.
And your birthday. Yeah, it's my birthday three days before we go. So don't forget. No, we will absolutely
that so we need to all be together yeah it's going to be a nice group of us going as well it's
going to be fun and i think there's a couple of people that i might add on closer to the time so we'll
see if anyone's been to nashville then let us know your tips because i've been inundated with
messages from people that have seen that saying oh my god best place ever send us recommendations
so we're going to make it a trip of a lifetime and what we've decided is that
because basically we usually have a break after 20 episodes don't we now we've got patreon we realize that
We could either pause it and people just wouldn't pay for the month or we could continue it.
So we think at this moment we're going to continue doing it.
Yeah.
And so we'll give you something each week.
But when we're over there, again, because I'm going to L.A. basically, the week before to see a really good friend of mine.
And then I'm going to fly internally from L.A. to Nashville to meet the girls and fly back with Zoe, etc.
But that means we're two weeks out and we'll be back recording then.
So we're going to do one out there.
aren't we?
Yeah.
We're going to just do something,
send it to our producers,
get them to edit it.
They've only just heard that right now.
And then...
We need to work out the logistics of that,
but...
Or we need is a light.
Make things on and that would be
and I mean,
it might not be the best sound quality,
but loads of podcasts do that.
Not everybody has a studio for a start.
People do it in their bedrooms.
So I think if we can just do it one or two that week,
it also changes it up
and it's so exciting for you guys
to kind of be there with us as well.
On location,
Yeah, and we'll vlog it.
We'll do bits.
We'll try our best to just make it as exciting as possible
and put like behind the scenes bit on Patreon
and then the main episode is normal on Spotify
from live and that rep, baby, yeha.
Woo!
We'll be on top of the cowboy like, yeah.
Woo!
On top of the cowboy?
Oh.
Oh, hey, was that meaning right or wrong?
Who knows?
The bill.
And the bull.
I meant the ball.
And top of the bill.
Where a cowboy bit set.
Well.
We keep going to speak in that accent.
Cowboy boots on.
We were talking about there's a festival going on at the moment
called Stagecoach and it looks so sick.
That's what we're going to look like.
Well, Spie Girls message me saying,
go fully casual and buy your boots and hat over there.
A boat and hat over there.
I think we should do that.
Right, okay.
Because you're going to get proper, really good quality leather cowboy boots
because I've not really got any decent ones.
No, I don't.
And a cowboy hat, which again, it's one of them in it, like, would I really wear that again?
Also, are we going to stick out like sore thumbs, or is it really like that then?
I think it is really like that.
Somebody said to me, Nashville is for the girlies.
It's for the girlies.
And it's going to be like Magic Mike.
You've been tagged in that video yet?
No.
The Magic Mike Cowboy One show.
I've never been a Magic Mike show.
Well, it's not Magic Mike, but it's like a...
Yeah, like that sort of show, though.
I've never.
I suppose we went and watched
fucking porn in Amsterdam
we've done it better
which is one step up
so anyway tell us all
where you're going on holiday
which we'd love to discuss
oh I'm booked and busy for the next week
she's off to New York next week
off to New York next week
when you guys listen to this
I'll be on way
just about en route
but before that
this weekend I'm busy
she's back
she's going to the theatre.
It's so funny
because in the chat again
somebody texts us out saying
a picture of sister act
and they're like trying to look for Zoe
and I thought do you know what's funny
the fact that she actually is going to that
in a few days
of course I'm going
Zoe we need to talk about
what we spoke about in the car
on the way here.
I've 100% told everyone this before
my mum has been in the Amshire Dramatic
since I was born
I think I knew that but I didn't know about your grandma
right and in said club
that my mum was in for a long time
yeah my nana was the choreographer there
what you've never said that Zoe
she choreographed all the dance routines like all the movement
like possessions of the actors on stage
your mum's mum my mum my papa was in the shows
you've never said this singing and acting
so this is why because I said to Zoe how many shows do you reckon you've seen in your lifetime
and she was like I cannot I couldn't even I wouldn't know where to start
but that I've been brought up in that environment
and like my brother's like thank God that's over
my mom still does shows here and there but it's not as much as it used to be
whereas I'm like
does it do pantomimes
pantomimes no mom doesn't do pantomines
what did you call that there
amateur no how do you say pantomime
pantomime oh
what's a different then
no she doesn't do that it's more like
it's like sister act like she's done sister act
but it's just it's not professional
it's amateur so there's a lot of people in the clubs that like can't necessarily actually
really sing or dance or whatever but they'll just be in like the chorus up the back nobody knows
they're there whereas my mum's actually quite talented so I grew up with her being the main
part all the time god love her and my nana was in the show before she was the choreographer
she was in the shows doing the main parts as well obviously as you got older and stuff it's not as
you're not going to get the parts anymore are you um so yeah that was my upbringing that's
why I'm so into theatre.
So what you're going to see in New York, then, Broadway?
Right, well, this weekend I'm going to Sister Act in Glasgow.
Yes.
That, my dad actually got me and my sister that for Christmas or birthday or something like that.
But my sister can't make it now, so I'm going to my step-mom's that.
It'll be nice.
Then Sunday, I'm going to see Take That at the Hydro.
Amazing.
Best show I've ever seen.
Same bit if they still got it.
Yes.
We only went a few years ago.
No, that was a long time ago, by the way.
Before COVID.
That was four years ago.
You went west life we went together. I went rich it was before COVID.
No I know but we went to the same show and you know what I also got like front row tickets as well so that in itself makes it like wow yeah because it's more of like a performance they put on it's not just like they're not just standing singing so I mean they'll ever lose it right we'll remind me to report back in that okay then I go to New York and I'm going to see Billy Joel in Madison Square Gardens which I've said before I believe because he's no deed for anyone that was wondering
and then I'm going to see Mulan Rouge
I've never seen that
neither have that
neither have that and by the way
can I tell you something right now
which I'm actually ashamed to admit
I don't think I've seen the film either
with Nicole Kidman
yeah
I don't think I've seen that
probably years ago
is the original Mulan Rouge the one in Paris
with the big windmill
I think so
I believe so
I believe so too
because it's French
yeah
so I'm going to see that
and do you know what
see if we were there for maybe like
one more night and it gave us
an extra sort of day
I would go and see our show
absolutely
yeah you could go to the Broadway
box office and get like a deal
and just go and see something
you ever seen the Book of Mormon
no I've not and that was another thing I thought about
but it's coming here
and I don't know if there's tickets left
but I needy look
The Book of Mormon I think again is more
I think that was a New York
original Broadway
yeah I think it was
I went to see it years ago in London with Richard
and I think back then
I just didn't really understand that sort of humour
We also had terrible, terrible tickets
where we were behind like a bollard at the side
so that ruined the experience for me for sure
but I do remember like all the
all the audience laughing like
I mean rich were like that is just not even funny
but I think now I'm older and I understand
things a bit more in terms of like politics
and the way of the world I may get the humour
yeah definitely
I think you will because I've heard nothing to good things
about that show.
Yeah.
But what I will say is,
like it's probably shouldn't be allowed still.
Yeah, definitely.
That's the pressure I've got.
They actually sing a song like,
everyone has AIDS,
aid, aid, aid, AIDS.
That's actually the song.
This is the thing with me, right?
What Jess realized yesterday
is when I'm in the car, right?
Oh, this was fucking funny.
And I don't have my phone plugged in.
I listen to Magic.
at the musicals. That's a radio station
and if you're into musicals you don't listen to that. I don't know
why because honestly it's brilliant. But typically
as Jessica in the car, it came on, it was
blaring, and it was... Sound of music.
Sing it?
What was it? It wasn't...
Do do do doro do do do do do.
And then for a minute, we just sat in silence
and I went, right.
But even I was about like, oh fuck.
Because that's a poor musical song.
Like, see, sometimes
like Mamami and stuff come on
so you maybe wouldn't think
if you know what I mean, but that one I was like,
ooh.
But anyway, what I was going to say is I also
sometimes put a musical playlist
on when I'm listening to my music.
Like, look, that's just what I like, right?
And so I know songs that are in all
musicals that I've not seen, but I like that.
Because then I go and I already know I know the music.
And you can sing along?
Although, stop singing along in the theatre.
Everyone, this is a public service announcement.
It's not for singing along. It's not a concert.
Okay, so you wouldn't sing along?
You just like tap your foot and like.
Yeah, in my head I'm singing and I'm in the moment, right?
But every time me and my mom goes together, we'll look at each other like,
I wish everyone would shut up.
It's not a concert.
You shouldn't be singing along.
Have you ever been to see the bodyguard though?
You have.
Because the bit at the end where Whitney is doing the concert part,
like in the film, everyone is then singing because she's encouraging you to.
That's fine.
Because there's parts and musicals where they are performing in the story.
You can get involved in.
I'm allowing it.
like that, for example.
Yeah.
Any other time, it's not concert, don't sing along.
When's the Book of Mormon coming then?
I think that's October time.
Are you going with someone?
Well, me and Richard said we could maybe go to that with you and Jason
because Richard once...
Oh, how did you just hear that?
You...
No, that's the way the conversation was.
I was like, I love that.
Yeah, me and Richard discussed it.
Maybe we can go with you and Jason.
No, that was the plan because...
That's how much so we and Richard.
actually talk behind closed doors I love it so much well because he said to me I want to go
to the theater it was actually my mommy said it to oh he did he said and my mom was like you can go
anytime and he was like no I mean with you he did she bide him so anyway I thought I'll take
you son we'll go together so we could maybe do that we're trying to get him to come to book a
Mormon by the way because he didn't he hated it but maybe like he'll be the same as me yeah
anyway this weekend um I'm hosting
at the seafood festival in Edinburgh at St. James Quarter Saturday, Sunday, Monday. It's
going to be a graph, by the way. Yeah, that's a big job. It is. It's all of the restaurants that
are within the St. James Quarter, so think kapal, duck and waffle, salt and chili. God,
what else is there? Mackey and Ramen. Yeah. Raymond. If you get the joke, you know, if you know,
know and all the chefs head chefs from each place are going to be doing sort of like a tasting
session and I'm going to be hosting each hour on the hour from 11 to 5 Saturday Sunday one day
um sadly this podcast will come out and it'll already have been and happened but yeah so if you if you
went and I saw you then hi it was lovely to meet you I'm staying at the W hotel all weekend and all that
some treat I know so I'm looking forward to that because it would be a bit of bore late for me to
get back and forth I need to be there every day at 10
Yeah.
And then, so it's just easier for me just to stay with in the centre.
And yeah, I think that's it.
And then in a couple of weeks, I'm heading down to London, aren't I, for a few days?
With Marks and Spencer's.
Who do I think I am?
I know.
Absolutely both aspects, isn't it?
But the reason I said that was because somebody wrote in the chat,
had we tried the new summer dips, the green goddess dip from M&S.
And I'm actually going down there.
They're doing like throughout the whole month of May, they've got, they've hired like an M&S summer house.
So there's people like M the nutritionist doing talks and whatnot and people can just go in throughout the day.
And they talk about all the new produce that they've made from the development kitchen.
And I'm actually going to the dips in deli one, I think, are I?
Yeah.
And then the pizza one.
So the dips and deli one, I'm sure I'll get sampled all those dips.
Try them all.
Bring them on the podcast.
So I'm looking forward to that.
It'll be really fun.
That'll be fun.
And where else are my way, Holly's coming up?
Yep. So my best friend Holly's coming up. She's actually doing the Lisbon Marathon. My friend Rebecca that I speak about a lot, she's doing the Frankfurt Marathon. So I've somehow agreed to do a long run with them both on the Saturday for their training. Lull. And then I've booked big counter again because she watched the vlog and she messaged us and was like, I'm extremely jealous. I would like to do that.
Yeah.
I've got something funny to mention about Holly in a moment.
Don't let me forget.
And yeah, so we're going to do that.
And then maybe go up north for a bit on the Sunday.
Who knows?
Just a nice weekend because she loves.
That would be lovely.
She loves Scotland nearly as much as me.
It's about time she moved up here.
She wants to.
I know.
She's got fuck all down there.
Except a lovely boyfriend Kane and those beautiful cats.
But they can all come.
And her business.
And her job.
And her livelihood.
Basically, she needs to just move up.
And I know she wants to.
She would love to.
It's a big move, though, isn't it?
Her business would thrive up here as well.
Not would, actually.
Happy skin by Holly, by the way, guys.
She's starting to offer a neofound down there,
which is what I have with Zara up here.
I had it this week, by the way,
so my skin will be extra glowing.
I've had that a couple times as well, and it's unreal.
Unreal.
Skin booster, it's like hylionic acid.
But she's offering it down in Leicester,
so hit her up if you live down there.
If you're ruling about that way.
Yeah, she's amazing.
Anyway, sorry.
I'm blabbing on, but just to quickly speak about Holly.
I feel like I'm talking about Patreon a lot this week,
but it's just because I'm referring to funny things.
But last week's episode, we spoke about a random thought,
and it was coming back to life.
If you could come back to life as anything or any object,
over and over again, what would it be and why?
You'll have to listen to the episode to see what I said
because it was fucking ridiculous when you think about it.
But she wrote in the chat,
I would come back as,
one, a killer whale,
because you'd be iconic number one predator in the world.
Then, when I died in brackets, which would be ages, lull, unless I was captured by SeaWorld, sad face.
Two, I'd come back as a famous singer because that high of being on stage and thousands of people singing your songs and shit, wow, must hit different.
Absolutely.
You get that.
And then, when that ended, when she died, this one's a good one.
A painting or a piece of furniture in the White House or Area 51 to find out all the mad shit that really goes down in the world.
That is good in it.
That is really good.
She sat and thought about that.
And then she thought, not a potato kiss.
Which is what I said I would come back as,
but you'd have to see why I said that.
That is a really good answer.
It gets you thinking.
So did you think about, I gave you that task to think?
I think I gave an answer at the time.
You said a singer, I think, or actress.
I don't think it is.
Or Nipo baby?
No, I said an insect to see how long I could survive each time.
I would set myself a challenge.
challenge.
Oh, there again.
Squish.
Also, before we go,
I finally
finished me with India.
Yes. I'm behind the crowd.
I know that and it's not like me on the TV
front.
The situation. Front, that's the word.
But I won't speak about it much
because everyone knows but it's just so fucked up
and I actually think he's just as much, if not
more of a problem than her.
Couldn't agree.
more.
Like if he just left that at one point
like I'm not saying she wouldn't have kept being persistent
whatever but there's so many things he could have done to get
rid of her.
Much quicker
and easier than he did.
He loved her. He did.
He loved the obsessiveness that
she gave him. Do you know what I've got
a question actually that I meant to ask in the chat?
See in it when he shags her.
I take it that's a dream.
I think it was a dream, yeah.
A fantasy. It wasn't very clear though.
I know.
Because me and Jason looked at each other, like, the whole season, we were looking each other every two minutes, like, what the fuck's going on?
But when that happened, I was like, I feel like I'd saw someone mention that that happened, but it was a dream, or she was, he was dreaming about her or masturbating about her, whatever.
Wasn't he, when he was having sex with his partner, imagining it was her, and it revamped his sex life?
Yeah, but it started as him turning up to Martha's shagging her, and then it clipped to him.
With the partner and I was like...
I'm not quite sure.
Then can I make sense?
But I was like, I don't think I'm not 100% on what went on there.
And did you realise that she actually typed out?
I didn't get this until the end.
Why did she do that though?
Oh, they've explained why, but she typed out sent from my iPhone.
And was it because she was never sending it from an iPhone.
It was maybe to throw him off.
There's a reason why she did that.
Yeah, it might have been.
And I can't remember for the life of me why.
It just made me laugh so much every time the tight and bit came up
and the spelling and the stuff she was saying then.
and it was like set my iPhone but it was all spilt
it just made me fucking piss
it was so funny
anyway that was fucked up
so fucked up
what's he up to these days
because
why would you put your life out like that
I don't get it
he'll be at the fringe
he'll have a sellout show at the fringe
well it's obviously I can't you move into it
definitely
but then at the end he goes back
to that guy's house
I know he wanted answers didn't he
what was that about
no I think
I thought they were maybe going to get together
they obviously didn't but
together
you never know with these things
right
just one last thing
before we finished right
yeah
please tell me
is there anything worse
yeah
the when you sit on the toilet seat
get up from the toilet seat
and your legs are wet
well my legs be wet
like you've sat on wetness on
revolting
especially if it's a public toilet
no that's what I was going to say
see at home that winds me up and every time I'm like Jason
wipe the fucking toilet seat
I've now got your push all of my legs
but at least I know that's him
yeah only has it's no one else's
when I was out it was either the weekend at one point
or just in the last wee while and I thought I need to write this down
and speak about it that happened to me I thought
I could have anyone's pee on the back of my legs right now
anyone and then I think
could you catch something from that like I just started to think
that things like that throw me into spinal
No, it's just disgusting though.
Why do men's, sorry Graham, I know you're saying, but why do men's...
You can see where it's going.
Stink of actual piss.
We all have the same pee exit our body, right?
Why does your toilet smell so fucking bad?
Because some of them don't care where that pee is going.
Like, in my thoughts, you've got a thing that that comes out of, right?
You can aim.
You can actually hold it in possession of the whole, that big round hole in the toilet pan,
or that like a round dish of a urinal, right?
Why are you missing that?
They're just like, wee!
Like, why are you missing it?
All over the place.
Whoa, a golden shower everywhere.
Like, what I have heard is it's much harder to pee
when you've got an excited little man down there, right?
Because it's pointing out.
What the fuck would you have an excited man down there
if you're a urinal next door of them, folks?
Well, that's what I'm going to say.
That's not an excuse for in public
because you should not have a boner when you're out and about.
I know.
Anyway, I had to get that off my chest.
You had to get that off your plate.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I love chatting then.
That's quite an English thing, I see.
What?
I love chatting then.
I'd do it then, what?
No, I loved chatting then.
That's what I meant.
I did love...
Is that not a thing?
I love just chatting then.
Yeah, we would say I love chatting there.
There, you would say there.
Yeah.
I love chatting there.
Anyway, I'm going to bank all these and do another episode on Scottish versus England
and see who comes out on top, but we all know who that's good to be.
I know it's going to be Scottish because I fucking love you.
Absolutely.
Right, well, that's us.
But we'll say that for the next episode.
He-he.
That was erratic.
Right, well, thanks very much for tuning in to another week of a lot on your plaity plates.
Please remember to subscribe if you're watching on YouTube.
I was just going to say thanks to everyone who did split.
subscribed because we had quite a few newbies
after our intense chat
or telling off
last week. Anyway
we'll either see you on Friday or we'll see you next week.
Bye!
