Starting point is 00:01:55 But anyway we're spending too much time together, which is perfect for me. I love it. Anyway, she will start rush back to swallow, as always. So this has got... It's another thing we've been doing a lot as well. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:29 Lola I keep just in the middle of Eton voice Not when you're going Lola Lola Anyway You can explain
Starting point is 00:02:38 this lovely story This was really cute Yesterday So we went to Vin 18 For a working lunch Professional And we got really nice food
Starting point is 00:02:50 I would recommend Actually Oh I had the black The bacon lettuce, avocado and tomato Chia Bata and it was beautiful. And the tomato wasn't fresh tomato.
Starting point is 00:03:01 It was like sun-dried tomatoes. So it was some blushed. Sun-blushed? Yeah. So they weren't like really dried. They were more soft. Interesting, right? And I got the Chipotle chicken toasted sandwich thing.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Did I have colesar on the side? Some sort of salad. I had salad with like cut up like cucumber that, which I didn't touch a single inch of it. Lull. done. But see when you get a sandwich like the sandwich is the main deal like who cares about the salad and the side, not me. That's just not me.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Anyway, we were then sitting there for a while just working and you know being boss bitches that we are. What? Loll. Yeah. I'm going to keep doing that now. We've got to make that stop instantly. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:50 And a girl came over to us with this wee cute box and was like, I just realised that was you, I heard your voice and I was thinking, fucking God help you in. And they gave us, I'll try and show you a wee box of treats and drew a pig on it. Oink, oink, enjoy. She said that's one of the girls in the back lives to draw.
Starting point is 00:04:11 We like shadows and eyes and everything and folds in the ears. Anyway, so this is a wee box of treats from Vin 18, which is in Rutherland. Quite a lot of noise going on here, sorry. um that's a brookie a brownie slash brownie slash cookie no the slice thing all right also it is brownie slash cookie slice right the other one that looks like a salted caramel brownie to me is that big bit in the top caramel milk mm looks like okay now and then what's that one that looks like raspberry white chocolate and lemon bloop like blueberry muffin right well i'll take a wee bite yep That's definitely salt to caramel because you got all the salt on there.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Oh, that's nice by the way. I have a wee bit of something there. I'm going to have a bit of the brooky. Oh, so what was the thing you got after we actually did eat though? You got a sweet treat. Yeah, I got a lemon and blueberry cookie of some sort, but it was amazing. And was it not covered in white chocolate? Sorry, we're just showing the camera there, close-ups.
Starting point is 00:05:32 See, to be honest, see if you don't watch us and you still listen to us, there's probably quite a lot that you miss. So apologies to that. Yeah, get on the YouTube, guys. Who would want to look at her face for a 50 minutes? Wow. Well, thank you so much, being 18. That is bloody gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:05:53 a lot of them. The girls were so nice, weren't they? So nice. You said it was owned by some sisters? Or you follow one of the girls? I follow one of the girls in Instagram. I don't actually know her, but you know, there's just people that you follow. Yeah. And she owns it, and they're saying names Vincent, so I think that's where the Vinn comes from. Makes sense. Clever.
Starting point is 00:06:10 When I suggested to go in there, I was saying Kinne 18, and we couldn't quite find it. Yeah. But anyway, I would definitely recommend going there for people to go and work. And I'll say, and also, it's in quite, like, there's nothing really else like that in that area haven't I mean I don't know that well but if I think about going to my grand's like I don't have a pass cafe let's get in and a boutette well we thought today we would just have a wee catchy catch-up yeah thanks so much for all of the shares and the love from last week's episode we were so proud of it and so with the team here as well we really felt wholesome and it was wonderful and very inspiring and the group chat on the patreon was popping off last night I was
Starting point is 00:06:51 loving it and everyone was loving it There's so many girls and guys joining it and everyone's just lifting each other up. Great, lovely vibes. Really nice. And just to reiterate, the side dish episode has now moved over to there. We're having lots of questions from people.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Also people still asking where G is. We answered all of it over on side dish, which I saw G at the weekend. Actually, I saw him at Hirox and he gave me a massive big cuddle. It's nice to see him actually. Yeah, I'm not seeing him in ages. But yeah, we just basically move producers, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:21 It's as simple as that. feelings and as you can see we are in a very fantastic professional setup and everything that we wanted and all of our things that we dreamt of are now happening and we hope you love it so much too and stop fucking asking us so last I'll say it we answered all of that basically what my point was we answered everything on that in week one so if you are a true fan you know you would know that information get with it bitchies do you know what I mean catch up anyway we thought we would just have a wee catch up and um do some people's a lot in the our plates. Yeah. Because we touched on it on last week's side dish, but we thought we'll bring it to the main app. So we're going to talk about what we've been on a lot on our plate first. Yeah, so take it away. Me? Yep. Emotionally and physically. So physically, something I ate this week, right, I went to the borders just on Monday just there and I needed to get something to eat because it's a long drive. And Scottish borders this is, sorry, for.
Starting point is 00:08:23 for anyone that doesn't know what that is. It's where Richard's from. Where is it? Melrose. Gala Shields. I think that's wrong. Well, Melrose is where you were at one point. He's actually from Kelso, which a lot of people know because there's a popular race, horse race is there.
Starting point is 00:08:40 But Galler Shields was the hospital where he was born. But then I went to Melrose for some breakfast before we went to Galler Shields, I think. I can't remember. Anyway, a few podpiggies had messaged in the chat because they saw that I was there. you see that and somebody messaged me on Instagram as well um and on the way down there I went to M&S and I got this amazing porridge it sounds so flippin random but you know it's like a little overnight oats and it is it think it's new it's a salted caramel and cacao nib one you've not mean it's like um the raw chocolate in it's like raw form so it's a bit more oh greater in antioxidants dark
Starting point is 00:09:18 chocolate see that again cacao nibs it's not cocoa nibs it's cacao nibs it's cacao I'm saying it right, okay? It's just funny one. Cacao. I can't see that. I say I'm saying it right. I'm probably not, but I know it's not cocoa nibs. But anyway, it was so good.
Starting point is 00:09:36 20 grams of protein in each part. They do an apple crumble one as well. And do you know what else they do? They're trying to be Starbucks. They've got eight miniature egg and bacon bites. So we need to get them. What's your best of them for 30 seconds? Why have you bacon in them?
Starting point is 00:09:51 I know. I wouldn't eat them. Yeah, but you have the ham ones. But I don't like bacon. Bacon. I don't like bacon. So I had that delicious. And then last night, guys,
Starting point is 00:10:04 I had to make a recipe for someone that I do some work for. And it was without a doubt the best recipe I think I've made in a very, very, very long time. It was just, it was actually your suggestion. I think what is helpful to you as I suggest, what you would maybe class is, like... Unhealthy? No, that isn't what I was going to say. Oh. Go then.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I don't think that's unhealthy. No, but like an... Yeah, it's a Chinese takeaway, but a fake away. You said... Anyway, I was going to say I would say things that maybe you think is quite basic, like quite easy. Yeah. I don't think that was easy.
Starting point is 00:10:44 No, I don't think it was easy either, but I think the thought of it is maybe like quite a simple, like, not well-known dish, but you know what I mean? Anyway, it was crispy chili beef with egg fried rice and it was like a fakeway option and it was so, so, so, so, so, so good. So I'm going to remake it because I already had to film it for somebody else, but I'm going to remake it and put up my page. But when that comes out, guys, honestly, please make it because it was just one of the best things I've eaten in so long. Honestly, if I made that, I would think I was being healthy.
Starting point is 00:11:16 No, yeah. What I meant was you suggested like a Chinese takeaway to me to make it at home. I'm not saying that what I made wasn't healthy. It was definitely healthier, even though I had a ton of oil in it. Yeah, it was delicious. So that was that. Could you use fly light?
Starting point is 00:11:31 No, because I needed to actually sort of shallow fry them to make them crispy. Right. But you could put them in an air fryer, I guess. Anyway, so I had that. And then what's been on my plate emotionally? Well, I had a funeral. That was why I was down in the border. So that was quite sad.
Starting point is 00:11:48 That was Rich's uncle that passed very suddenly. But can I just say that man, an incredibly popular person, like I have never seen, I think he was 65, died quite suddenly of a heart attack, actually. And the swarms of people outside of the actual service was incredible. I've never seen anything. Yeah, just knew so many people from a walks of life, incredible man. So it was down there. So that was really quite sad.
Starting point is 00:12:15 On a stinking hangover after our day at the influence. awards on Sunday I didn't win guys didn't win fucking robbed robbed no the girl the lady should I say that Warren Renu is incredible and she was definitely aware of the win I so well done Renu amazing but yeah should we talk a little bit about our day on Sunday go for it
Starting point is 00:12:37 what should what should I say we got very pissed yeah we went to the influencer awards which if we're being completely honest we weren't best pleased that were we? Not because Jess didn't win by the way I was obviously angry at that. However, I just think I went last year because my old work
Starting point is 00:12:58 always sponsors and award there. So we had a table, we went to the lunch it was sponsored by Whisperin' Angel, you didn't, honestly you would have half a glass and they would fill it. Like you were never without a drink. We were absolutely pushed by the time the awards came, like it was a great day out. I was home by
Starting point is 00:13:14 you, couldn't remember a single fucking thing. Oh my God. Anyway, so I was a bit like, look, we'll just go, look, it's a good day, whatever. we then realized literally a couple of days before that you slash we weren't invited to the lunch part which is absolutely fine no no it was fine i definitely did think i was there was there was for some reason i read somewhere that there was like food sit down food well that is what the lunch is so we obviously missed that part so then that the food what's crazy the food category didn't get invited to the lunch that is really fucking weird actually isn't it so yeah we didn't get
Starting point is 00:13:49 fed at all from 2 o'clock till 8 p.m. There was not even, I didn't see one canopy. There was no canopies. There was no seats for, I'll describe the award ceremony as, like a school canteen. What we did it? It was like a school canteen. I was like, oh, is this where it's hosted then? Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And then there was nowhere to sit. Well, they kind of split it that if you weren't a nominee, you were there because you bought a ticket or a sponsor or whatever. You sat like up in this bit. I say up, up a step, like a wee raised area. and then the nominees were in the lower area but as we walked through there there was no seats left so we ended up in almost like a room off the back of the room
Starting point is 00:14:31 like it wasn't shut off but it had like walls either shied and just a gap through the middle but we couldn't see a thing so we couldn't actually we didn't see one winner we couldn't see the woman who was presenting it no we couldn't see anything and when I tell you there was not a drip of alcohol not a drip or water or anything on that table all of our glasses were emptied Everyone else's did accept it. Everyone else had like buckets with writing stuff in.
Starting point is 00:14:53 We had not a drip of anything. Yeah. All our glasses were emptied the whole time. And we were actually sitting with the three girls from another podcast, Girls Overhaired. Yeah, they were great. We'd never met before and they were actually really nice. Yeah, we had a great time, just all laughing together of just...
Starting point is 00:15:08 They can come off our rivals list. They put them on our friends list now. Definitely. And there was other people on our table as well. We're all like the rejects in the corner. It was actually quite shocking, no, when you think about it. Do you know what's annoying? Like, we were so supportive and rowdy of literally every single nominee.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Like, I'm not even kidding you when I say. You were screaming. We were screaming for anyone that we sort of knew. Absolutely. Not one person that we knew one. And we were screaming, screaming. And then bless him, who was the guy at the end? There was one more category left and they won something for visuals.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And he won. But we obviously didn't know his name. We didn't know who he was. And when he stood up to collect his ward, no one else was cheering. We were like, wailed. We were like, thank fuck someone on the rejects. table has won for us. Buzzing for him.
Starting point is 00:15:49 It was great. We were buzzing. He won it for the whole table. So yeah, I wasn't really that impressed, guys. I'm not going to lie. We then went upstairs to the rooftop bit for like the after party, which was like four until later or whatever. And we only stayed there for say what.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I never had one or two drinks. Then we thought, let's get fucking out here and go somewhere else. Yeah. Some people were really drunk and quite annoying. The people who had been at the lunch are all pished because of constant wine also it wasn't
Starting point is 00:16:20 whispered an angel this year it was rock rock angel rock angel yeah is that like a it's the same brand
Starting point is 00:16:27 is it yeah right but um we had a really fun day out I'm not gonna like I'm so grateful to be nominated but I just think the actual whole do you know
Starting point is 00:16:35 what else upset me a little bit as well I say upset me but do you know it being like a networking event and I would have really love to have heard a bit more about each and every nominee
Starting point is 00:16:44 like even just a slight small synopsis of who they were and maybe they did have their handle on the screen, I'm not sure, but we couldn't see a damn thing. But I would have actually have enjoyed to have followed some of the people there. And when they got up to collect their award, not one person was allowed to accept or do an acceptance speech, except two people at the end,
Starting point is 00:17:00 someone who won the influencer of the year and the super influencer. And they got to say, like, a big thank you. And there was one guy that won, that a strong man. He got to do like an acceptance speech on the screen. But not on any other, no one else did. And I was like, that's a bit shit for them. I'd have really
Starting point is 00:17:18 have loved to have them to have heard a little bit about who they are why they're so glad to have won but nothing so anyway
Starting point is 00:17:25 that's your feedback to I think you need to watch your feet because it's shaking these sorry it's because I'm angry you know it's giving me
Starting point is 00:17:32 an effort no so people spend 50 quid for that ticket I don't fuck that by the way but anyway do you know what
Starting point is 00:17:41 drown the sorrows by going to fucking Wonderbar on a Sunday night guys unbelievable I would say I would actually go as far as saying that's the best experience I've had out in Glasgow in quite a long time honestly so we didn't know where to go Sunday night where do you go
Starting point is 00:18:00 I'd been to Wunderbar the night before as well because I went out after high rocks and again my friend Pam was up she's back from Dubai and I was like she's like where do you want to go so we went to that gorgeous nagroney bar called Mallow that we spoke about last week we went there to test out I can confirm it's really nice so went there and she's like I want a bit of a vibe of dance and I thought where do I take her I don't want to take her Kong I don't want to queue up to go somewhere like crazy like um hate and seek no pot world so tropicana club tropicana so we went to
Starting point is 00:18:33 pop world needs to get removed from your hands I love it so then we went to um wonderbar she loved it even though our kid you know it was full of 18 year olds well she'd never been there before has she? No, so she was like, top floor, this is amazing, I'm having a great time. Finished influence awards, went to Wonder Bar, Zoe, what time do we get there? Five. I would say, a bit sexist or something like that. Full of everybody, our age around about, gorgeous men. Swarman, 90% of gorgeous men. It was. Like, let's not lie about it. Our single girlies need to know where to go. Sunday, go there. So many hot guys, hot women. and then around like 10pm the kids started coming in
Starting point is 00:19:17 and we fucked off but yeah I didn't really notice that the younger people were coming in but I think we were just ready to go home at that point I was honestly ravenous and I didn't get a McDonald's and I had two bits of toast that whole day and uh we've been out all days when you think about it yeah so that is one place that we need to add that mallow
Starting point is 00:19:36 when we go on do our cocktail crawl I just get to check my face because can I tell you stuff my eyelashes always fall out on my face you don't have any on that and I can I often feel them like flapping around on my cheeks
Starting point is 00:19:50 I saw a few pub piggies at Hirocks as well a few girlies came up to me and to say hi so hi well done for everyone smashing it it was a
Starting point is 00:19:59 I actually just remember I was speaking to someone just before we left Wonderbart just came back to me there who was the girlfriend of one of the guys from Riley's Gaff
Starting point is 00:20:08 oh yeah that's one of the podcast isn't it yeah just remembered that I love that. Hi girl. Hey girl. Anyway, do you want to know what I've been up to?
Starting point is 00:20:18 Yeah, of course. What's been on my plate? Let me just check. Right. I played minnie golf on Saturday, by the way. At electric thrill in East Goebrides. Not like my first choice of how to swim
Starting point is 00:20:32 with Saturday night, right? But Jason quite likes an activity and I'm just like, oh, you need to do it once every so often. So anyway, he was like, let me ask my mum and my mum's boyfriend to come a bit more. happening, do you know what I mean? A bit more competition and whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:47 So anyway, did that and I actually came second place out of four people. Bloody hell. Better than you've been top golf. I would say, exactly. That must have just been a bad day because, can I tell you, the first two or three holes, I believe,
Starting point is 00:20:59 I got hole in one. Wow. At this money golf. And no one else did. So I was actually high scorer for a while. Well, low technically, you know him.
Starting point is 00:21:11 But anyway, I came second, but see really when you think about it a roundabout way I did win because I won out of me and Jason yeah so if you cut it into couples I'm the winner yeah did he hate it yeah he was shite by the way he is usually quite good but like
Starting point is 00:21:26 you know when you play many golf and you hit it right into the hole but it almost swerves it yeah as if like there's a wee something in the carpet or whatever that kept happening to him like you would literally it would touch it and then it would go around it and it just kept it was fucking well a little hill around the hole and he was losing it so that was great anyway so that's what
Starting point is 00:21:47 I was up to in Saturday and obviously went to the influence awards on Sunday then I was really hung over on Monday and got a McDonald's at half 11 we sent each of a pick sent me because I was driving down like I feel like shit and she sent me a picture of her milk chicken sandwich I honestly think it was just because I was empty inside as well because the ones I had that eating I forced myself to drink loads of water I actually was okay yeah like I wasn't like death store but I put in Patreon chat, like it's acceptable at McDonald's at this time, people were like fucking go for it. Yes, on a Monday.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I thought, for sure. I just had a flashback there actually when we were at the bar when a Richard's friend bought me and Laura a shot of tequila and I did that tactical thing where I was like, thank you. That was honestly one of the best things I've decision I've made. In fact, I remember you doing that to me with a shot and I went, no thanks.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Yeah, we both I just think I felt like shit because like you say, we had empty stomachs and we just had mixtures of wine and cocktails and shit. day. It definitely was that. And then physically on my plate, I'm quite passionate about this. See if you're getting, you know how people like Asda Pizza? Yeah. Jason loves an Asda pizza right from the counter
Starting point is 00:22:56 you know, it's just chees and tomorrow. Anyway, that's too big for me and he quite likes getting one for him. So then I'm about like, what did I get? See the kids pizza, I think I told you about this before, the kids pizza from Asda as in the tiny week. You've said this before. It's like a nice, perfect time. I had that on, it might have been Friday night. Honestly, I just think that's perfect for your dinner. That and a wee side of edges.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Romanticize your pizza. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So that's what I had. Sounds bloody wonderful. So that and a McDonald's. And then on Sunday cried because I felt fat, so. We went to gym yesterday, though.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Yeah, we did. We were like hench, weren't we? I didn't obviously cry, guys, but... You're moaning. It's just a moan that I have. Anytime I need to dress up. And then I started. a thing on Instagram when I was going to share it but it was something to do with Taylor Swift so I thought
Starting point is 00:23:45 fucking no chance my associate myself with her um but it was a it was a pig it was a fat pig and um like I can a wee outfit thing and I was going to share it saying like me when I need to get dressed up but then I thought fucking no getting us away please tell I think I sent it you in the chat you've seen that video that's gone viral of that Taylor Swift fan yes having an actual mental great down guys I think I've come to the conclusion right and I'm going to offend all of you I don't think it's Taylor Swift that I dislike. It's the fans. It's you guys. It's you. Because
Starting point is 00:24:18 it's honestly, I, it's a cult. Is that that is exactly what the problem is? And my friend Haley, who is one of Taylor's biggest fans, did she say to me, she actually doesn't even really like Taylor that much? She finds her quite triggering
Starting point is 00:24:34 and quite annoying and cringe. But she says her music is amazing and the way she writes songs is incredible. And that's obviously what really touched that girl's heart when she having an actual fit whatever the hell that was going on but do you see her friends as well they were like hating themselves like oh my god this is modifying but whatever and i just genuinely think it's who can they're all competing of who can be the biggest fan who's her biggest fan and who knows all the words and stuff and whose is it touched the most it was the same in one direction
Starting point is 00:25:03 yeah that was the exact same and you know who's not far off of that by the way maybe not in this day and because she's about, she's all being all like fucking fairies on us, Ariana Grande. Oh, my sister was obsessed of her, would she? She's, like, quite close. Yep. What's happened with her, by the way, these days? She's in Wicked the film. Yes, so she is.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I love Wicked to. When's that out? End of this year sometime. And I tell you what else we've, um, means I've been watching. I don't think we spoke about this last week, all the week before. Love is blind. I think we might have. Yeah, but I don't think we'd started it.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I don't think you could start you did it that girl is done well wow she's no fucking well Michelle someone needs to I do think when they're filming this like why is no one
Starting point is 00:25:52 maybe they are interfering behind the scenes we just won't obviously see that but she I've never seen somebody visually with such low self-esteem and it was actually quite sad to watch
Starting point is 00:26:03 I thought she is really pretty but she just constantly needed validation by this back she looked like Megan Foxx though No, but guys, I disagree. I think she does look like Megan Fox, I'm going to say it. I genuinely do see the similarities. I just think he was picturing the dark hair, the Megan Fox now, with the slamming bod.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Which she wasn't like that. She doesn't have the same body shape as her whatsoever. But visually, there is 100% something similar. Whether people disagree or not, I do agree it. Don't you? I was saying to you yesterday, I feel like... So you're Megan Fox. From here up, like the eye thing.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I think that is what she was saying that I think but I don't know like to say that to a guy who can't see you she did say that some she's kind of setting the bar high yeah she did say
Starting point is 00:26:54 that my friends say some people have said that I facially look a little bit like Megan Fox but I don't see it I think she said I think it's then because of the way she now comes across people are like course you would say that yeah yeah very true but you know what I will say about him
Starting point is 00:27:09 I do think he's actually handled it really quite well. I wonder if they're still together. I know. Oh my God, it's tonight. Do they come on back tonight? Fucking, yeah. Oh, it's the final tonight. It's the sixth of March, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:27:21 The wedding. Oh, six or the eighth? Maybe it'll be the eighth. It seems more like a Friday thing. Oh my God, I'm buzzing. I don't know, bad's weak. If anyone hasn't watched the new season of Love is Blind, go and watch it.
Starting point is 00:27:32 It's brilliant, honestly. And bear with, because I think a couple episodes into the room thing, you're a bit like, because it's so dramatic. like fucking shop but when it gets to like they're out of there and they're on the honeymoon or whatever it is and then the weddings come it's fucking great TV yeah fantastic TV has yeah I really loved it um another update I have for you is I finished my book last night oh thank God the
Starting point is 00:27:55 girl who disappeared or something the girl's who disappeared so I should remember that because I kept forgetting um and I would actually recommend it to be honest I thought it was quite good and I did get gripped yeah like I would say the last few days that I was reading it I was I was like, I need to read that again tonight because I need to know what happens. Yeah. And I was quite shocked at the twist. Oh, okay. The results of what happened to the girls, because that's what the whole story's about.
Starting point is 00:28:22 They obviously disappeared and no one knows where they are. I've still not finished that silent patient either. I can't give you an update on that. This book club is not going too well. It's not. And we bought that court of thorns and... Well, I was actually going to ask you because I have not bought it yet, so I thought, can I just get yours?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Yeah, but I'm not started it. I know, because I'll finish that. before you're even thinking about starting it yeah so you can have it so that's fine i'll try and need it within one month shall you say but me and zari a little bit unsure of this one because if anyone doesn't know it's the one that um basically everyone's posting about on social media it's the red front red cover with snake or something on it yeah like a yellow text and i think it's more fantasy and that's just not mine is always vibe of whatsoever it's not but we're kind of like giving into the hype a wee bit but because it's always isn't it i know i'll try but then i feel like i'm so new to my
Starting point is 00:29:08 bookworm journey that there's so many that I've not read that I'm like, should I just scrap the one that I'm not sure I'll like and reads more. Yeah. I've got a list on my phone of things that people have sent me when I've posted my books, so I've got a list, but I don't do you know what the problem is now? I don't have one on my bedside table.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I've got loads of where you can look. I've basically got a library in my spare room. I've not read one. Yeah, I'll need to get a few of them because I think if I don't start another one again soon, I'll completely fall off the bandwagon. Yeah. And a lot of people are talking about that June?
Starting point is 00:29:39 The film. Dune or June? How would you say that? I would say June. June 2. But I want to watch the first one but you said you tried to watch it last night with Jason but he was like,
Starting point is 00:29:48 no, that's two Star Warsy. As soon as we looked at the description he was at all of my pals like that and I was like, see, like, as if all the pals are the same, do you know what I mean? See, watch it and then it was that I'll ask him if they think I'll like it and they literally replied being like, it is your worst fucking nightmare
Starting point is 00:30:06 like do not watch that and that put us on. well really what's it about then I think it is just Star Warsy that's what he said is it Star Warsy that's what he said is it Star Warsy sounds fucking awful I've actually heard it is one of the best films ever I know and then what I try and say is yeah we don't like that stuff but what we really fucking loved with stranger things never watch Stranger Things are you speaking to the wrong person here no me and Jason oh you and Jason yeah and there was some hunger games We like Hunger Games
Starting point is 00:30:39 But I'm like They're not maybe as weird Yeah I liked The Last of Us Never watched it And that's zombies I think it just depends I think there'll be a day that it comes
Starting point is 00:30:52 I need to fix my slippers apologies A day that comes That maybe we're in like the moods for it Yeah Whereas we ended up watching Another film Adam Sander Waterboy You've seen that
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah a classic Old school that But you know I'm a massive Adam Sander fan and watch all these films and the quite comfort films for me and that's one I'd never seen. Couldn't believe it. It's one of his mate ones. I don't like how he's...
Starting point is 00:31:18 See as much as I love Adam Sander and I love his type of films because easy watching, feel good, whatever. And the cast is always the same, isn't it? I like how he's got his wee group of actors. What I will say is it does annoy me a wee bit when he needs to put those voices on.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yeah. But see because, you know, him as an actor so well I think that's quite hard to oversee right because I know it's sort of like a bit yeah but it feels a bit gimmicky yeah yeah so it took me I'd be well like getting it it's definitely not one of my favourites anyway but we watched that instead we were more feeling a kind of is anyone ever seen the film I want to say it's called champions and it's the group of disabled kids that they pulled together for like a sporting event thing and it's such a feel good film I think I've seen Alicia post that it's really good Derek is actually one of my favourite
Starting point is 00:32:07 TV programs of all time with Rikidja Bass. You never watched Derek? No, I don't think so. It's amazing, Zoe. It's honestly one of the best things I've ever watched. I love it so much. Maybe I watched that. And we started Griselda last night.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Oh yeah. That's more my vibe. The drug lords. Yeah, but she's no a looker, by the way. Well, have you seen the real her? Is that what you mean? No, the one in the program. Google, real... What's the name?
Starting point is 00:32:33 Grisela. Griselda. Griselda. Right now? actually Google I think it was what's his name who's the big main
Starting point is 00:32:44 drug lord yeah I think he said that he was terrified of her she was the only woman that he wouldn't ever say boo to and you'll see that she was probably cast quite well Zahui is it this lassie
Starting point is 00:32:58 can you see that or not I'm not sure so so what you're saying is the fake her is much more attracted than the real her. Yeah. No, I can't disagree with her but she's terrifying
Starting point is 00:33:14 like if she came up to me I'd be like take whatever you want. What, her or the actual actress? Not that actress. She's meant to be like that. It opens her mouth as well. Those teeth are minging. Sorry. Anyway, we better go on it a lot on your place because we've ended up talking about fucking TV
Starting point is 00:33:30 from an hour. What is it you're laughing at? You. Right. You're a bitch today. My bitch, I'm busy. Let's be honest here. I just don't let it out as often.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Right. A lot on your plates. We've broke it down. Broken. I better fix my English. My mum will be on my case. Broking it down to three. Are you ready for wise advice to be given?
Starting point is 00:33:56 My boyfriend is going travelling for the whole summer without me and it's driving me crazy. Dump him, I would say. Only fucking joke, right? Calm down. No, I need to understand how old they are though Let me zoom in in the picture I wouldn't say
Starting point is 00:34:14 Young I would say I'm going to guess similar to me Or let's say mid 20s Technically I'm late 20s But let's just say mid So you said it's driving her crazy That he's going away for the summer I wonder where he's going Like travelling all over the world
Starting point is 00:34:31 Or is he off to Magaloof For a season, imagine imagine that's about deafening that would be dumped i think if it's going to australia maybe he's got loads of friends over there and he's going to go and see them listen it's all about how confident you feel in your relationship and how long i've been together yet and trust you i wouldn't dump someone i would always want somebody to go and live their life and you only live that once we've stressed that many many times and i think there's obviously a reason you can't go with him or he probably just wants to go and do this and experience it on his own and i think you've got to let them do
Starting point is 00:35:03 that because if you don't and you do stay together that person will always come back and resent you for stopping them doing that or they will resent you for not allow them to go or if you gave them grief so let them fly their wings let them experience it and what will be will be you'll stay in contact I'm sure you'll face time lots and you can always go out and see him for a week that's what I was going to suggest so no way that you could even go out and spend a bit of time with them to and meet him somewhere and then that can be like you're holiday together for the summer and if things don't work out they do say like
Starting point is 00:35:36 distance makes the heart grow fonder but if it doesn't work out then it's not meant to happen it's not meant to be is it I know that's quite hard to think about that right now but you absolutely just need to be calm and trust
Starting point is 00:35:49 our picture is actually Horander boyfriend well it's going to be amazing I mean there's no hiding in a relationship if it's your profile picture don't mean yeah I'm wondering about that so that would be
Starting point is 00:36:02 my advice just to come doing him and stay in contact don't give him a hard time unless he really doesn't text you back I know I guess that's the thing isn't it like it wouldn't bother me in terms of I would never as you said like I would never stop someone doing that if that's what they wanted to do because I feel like I've always had the travel bug and I would hate if someone stop me if the cow was like I really want to go and do this and also you're better letting them do it and get out of their system or They're going to do it one day. Yeah. Or they'll resent you for it.
Starting point is 00:36:37 But I do think like don't be on their case about it because if anything that will just drive them away. Yeah, well. And then when they're away travelling, they'll just be like, well, if you're going to give me grief any time, I've not to text you back for a few hours,
Starting point is 00:36:51 I just won't text you for a week. Because that's what guys will do, do you know what I mean? Yeah, they just throw the tower in quite quick, don't they? I would actually think now that I'm older and wiser, scrap the texting and just FaceTime every couple. days or something because time difference obviously depends where you are but time differences and like both being busy at different times of the day that's just going to drive you crazy and also
Starting point is 00:37:10 if it's just for two months or even three it's that'll fly by you go and enjoy yourselves you go and make plans with your girlfriends as well make sure that you keep yourself busy go and do things go and enjoy yourself and go and join him for a week or you've got a summer to live as well yeah let's not forget that just because he's leaving doesn't mean your life has to stop you enjoy it hon i would be thriving my tits off I would and see as best if we lived together peace and quiet for a few months
Starting point is 00:37:38 perfect bless bliss only doing your own washing so I think this is actually a positive girl don't stress too much see it as a positive and what will be will be absolutely right next up is it a red flag that our pal's new man has said he isn't ready to meet her friends after seven months
Starting point is 00:37:57 of dating she will say it have to give her three two one yes Yes. Yes. That is, by the way. I'm going to tell you my exact thoughts, my honest thoughts here, right? He's not serious about you. I'm sorry to say that.
Starting point is 00:38:17 But I just feel like if someone doesn't want to meet friends, family is obviously one step up from friends in a way, right? Yeah. But what... Maybe understand the family part to seven months... Seven months or like... maybe I couldn't actually but I would maybe just have a little understanding as to why that might be if it was a family but the friends part I can't get my head around that I'm sorry I find that a red flag like see at times when like pals have been on dates with people and weed out
Starting point is 00:38:47 the same time it's been many times that it's like or just come and meet us and these are guys that they never see again also let's flip this round actually let's flip this round so she's telling her friends my boyfriend doesn't want to he's not comfortable about meeting you yet do you think that might even be true is your friend lying to you because there's two sides to every story
Starting point is 00:39:08 do you really think he's turned around and says I don't want to meet your friend yet and she's not kicked off about it I think she probably doesn't want her friends to meet him could be that's very interesting because they're only going to be hearing it from her so they're only hearing her side
Starting point is 00:39:24 but I just feel like surely she's going to him and going to pals moaning about it maybe not or maybe they're saying come on when we're going to meet him and she's like oh he's up ready to meet you yet so why would she tell her pals he doesn't want to meet you's imagine me saying to you like oh he doesn't want to meet you though you I don't know if I could say that to you maybe he doesn't exist maybe she doesn't really have a boyfriend an imaginary man Zoe stranger things have happened honestly you've got to think of these scenarios
Starting point is 00:39:58 in these situations. We are the mediators. We have to always be devil's advocate and think of both sides. Not good at that. No, but I am. So, let's ask some more questions to your friend.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Yeah, find out a bit more. Is there any reasons? Yeah, tell us. Has he met his friends? Yes. I mean, another point to this, right? Maybe he knows one of her friends. Maybe they've slept together.
Starting point is 00:40:27 You know. We're giving this girl anxiety. Maybe they're step-sisters and brothers or something. Cousins. Relations. I just think, right. I think sometimes as well people make a big deal out of meeting family and friends. It doesn't need to be an arranged meet-up.
Starting point is 00:40:51 No. We need to go out for dinner so that you can meet my boyfriend. It's a literal, let's go out for some drinks tonight, babe. And then you get your other couples to come out. And it's like, you come there, meet for a drink. We're like, oh my God, so nice to see you. Intro, the boyfriends to each other, let them chat. And then go forward from there.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Or we're going out here, by the way, in Saturday, if anyone wants to join coming on. Yeah. I think that's really strange. And if it is completely innocent and like what she's saying, like, he doesn't want to meet. I would really look into why. Am I the drama? If it's all fine and dandy, it's just a case of her. refusing to meet then that's definitely a red flag for sure from us right I feel like
Starting point is 00:41:33 that was couldn't have been less helpful but anyway um last but not we just made the situation worse I know we've just added you feel at the fire have they're gonna be texting the group chat like right so isn't even real because we think you're lying to us we've just turned the fucking poor girl's pals against her you've turned the wanes against us right last but not least ever and our eyes right I think I've been funny to think I'm quite a lot of
Starting point is 00:42:02 no it's just life is just right this would make you angry oh god finding out a male colleague is being paid 18,000 pounds more than me for doing
Starting point is 00:42:15 less than I do I'm no feminist right but that is shocking that's fucking awful eight isn't there let's just think about 18,000 pounds
Starting point is 00:42:29 for one minute. That in itself is a starting wage for someone. That's a whole wage for an entry level person to come into. Up here it is, yeah, absolutely. So he's actually getting paid a full person more than you. And he's doing less than her. Guarantee you he's got
Starting point is 00:42:48 like a little extra something at the start of his title just to warrant that. He'll be shagging the boss or something. Probably. But also this is, again, we're not getting into the feminist right this is still a problem in this day and age massive problem actually yeah and can I just tell you something
Starting point is 00:43:05 I don't understand why that is when I personally think men are shitter than women of everything do you know what I mean though like see even train me up to be an engineer and I bet you I can do better than the guy standing next to me like they just don't have the same
Starting point is 00:43:22 I'm going to disagree with you on that I don't think I don't think that I think we all have regardless of our sex I do think we could all do something well when we put our mind to it and if our hands there. I just think the roles aren't really
Starting point is 00:43:38 like there's not very many female plumbers there's not many female electricians yes they are awesome but overall there's not there's not many female people that go and work on the oil rigs because men would prefer to go and do that and they are better at it I guess
Starting point is 00:43:53 I actually think they are better in a sign more hands-on job scientifically way because they're stronger and they're also stronger yeah larger hands and things like that but when it comes to something like this when they're doing the same job yeah it's definitely
Starting point is 00:44:09 an issue I am aware that there is something that there's some sort of corporation or something that's come out about this where you can if you find out this information it's correct you can actually go and basically out them they out them on social media or whatnot and the company I'm going to try and figure that out and find out where it was
Starting point is 00:44:31 because I remember there was a lot of it around maybe um international women's day last year and I saw some posts about it but um I'm going to find that out and share it with her because there is something that you can speak to because also you should never know the salaries of people around you and work as well which I do think has a weird way of working in a way because it's like you should know that the person that's doing the same job as you is not getting paid any more than you. I think it obviously depends the kind of business you're working because I guess like really corporate
Starting point is 00:45:03 like civil service and all that. You're a grade and that's what your wage is so it's not any of that grey area but in my sort of industry like marketing and all that it was like you didn't have a clue and everyone wanted to discuss it and I mean I didn't want to but people did always
Starting point is 00:45:19 like guess or be like I wonder how much she get paid. So I wonder how she actually knows this factual information. She probably found out, probably pissed at some sort of work party and somebody said something. People do ask you that job? Yeah. And do you know what else I've seen a lot of
Starting point is 00:45:33 when people job advertise on social media or whatnot? And they put their job description in the post but they never write the salary and the comments are always people saying why not share their salary? Like why would people want to waste their time maybe scribbling up their CV or getting themselves worked up for it applying, having to write their cover letter
Starting point is 00:45:51 for them to not know that they could even be able to afford to pay the outgoings from this job and I think I have a lot of respect for people that when they post their job roles they put the salary because it does it just cuts it right down it cuts to the chase
Starting point is 00:46:06 this is what you're going to pay a starting salary as long as everyone in your not even a bracket aye aye that to that it's just shady I think start sharing it
Starting point is 00:46:15 but loads of places don't even have brackets like anything like that I would work and you just would have no idea like what the person's that next you're doing the same job was on yeah and it does like I wouldn't say I's like the job thing was never like oh money money money for me but obviously it's important to get paid for like the work you're
Starting point is 00:46:36 doing and like be valued as part of the team so it's like it does great on you when you don't feel like you're getting paid equal to everyone else or I didn't feel that way but at times when it was like they were up in people's salaries and all that everyone sat and like felt like I wonder like if they're getting more than me now and whatever and it's just fucking stupid it yeah but that is shite very shit I'd be fuming right just say depending on how you found out if you can bring it up bring it up but I just don't know if that's possible yeah and also find out if it is actually true as well ask them facts right shall we end on a high go for it I had my scan at the hospital for my boobs so
Starting point is 00:47:19 obviously you can tell it's good news so I had the ultrasound boop boop boop and And no sign of anything, but they feel it's just lumpy breast tissue. Worry over. Worry over, but at least you got it changed. It was a very seamless process. So I didn't really have to wait around. I went to the doctor first. They had another little feel, marked it up, then went to the ultrasound,
Starting point is 00:47:43 and then they did all that bit. And then I think from that point, if they think anything's slightly concerning, they would then take you for the biopsy, I think, was the next stage. But they were going to do it all within the. that next two hours but I didn't even have to go to the next stage they said it was absolutely fine they obviously could feel it and just say keep an eye on it um but as we can see there's nothing to be concerned about lovely news just what we needed next high one of our best friends yes we're aunties we're aunties which is the only time you'll ever hear is happy about
