Happy Tuesday, guys. Welcome back.
Welcome back to the best podcast in the world.
Remember that intro used to have?
Um, how did it go again?
Something like that.
Welcome to the chart-topping, show stopping, best podcast in the world.
We did that at the live show.
And then I went, here we go.
Here we go.
We scrapped it.
Hi, everyone.
I got quite annoying.
I feel like we're about, I feel like we're about,
I feel a bit zoned out
well we have just been boxed the fuck out of
at our boxing class with Mark
which we're getting much better at can I just say
oh I were much better
he just kind of like will say like I don't obviously know the terms
but it's like right left under
whatever it is under over it's not even under over it's your real words
I don't even know what he says now I'm thinking about it but
what is it again when you need to dip back and all that
I remember but we were doing some right sequences this morning
I know I was getting a bit like
I was losing track of what arm I was hitting next
and all that was quite difficult
and my knee wasn't feeling too bad today was it
which is progress because my half marathon's on Sunday
and I haven't ran for two weeks
but I didn't feel much today
no said it was mine
that's we're staying hopeful guys
fingers
firmly crossed
that's weird we just said that
yeah we've been doing that a lot haven't me Zoe
I'm in Jesse's brain I think
It's fucking me off because
And it's a messy place
It's a messy place as it is
And whenever I say anything
Or she will say something
It's in my head
I'm just about to say it on the tip of my tongue
But it's weird things
Really strange things
I mean this isn't that weird
But an example today was
We were driving in the same car
Past as Jesse's car
And I was like ooh car twins
And I was literally about to go
Car twin
And I was like
Stop being in my brain
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.
And...
Yeah.
Every time we say to it, so we go sharp and she goes, yeah.
Or we go, lull.
Lull.
There's an emphasis on that.
the last Lulla
Lola
Lola
I keep just in the middle
of Eton voice
Not when you're going
Lola
Lola
Anyway
You can explain
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
whispered an angel
this year
it was rock
rock angel
rock angel
yeah
is that like a
it's the same brand
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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
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
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...
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.
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
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.
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?
Grisela.
Griselda.
Griselda.
Right now?
actually Google
I think it was
what's his name
who's the big main
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
a baby she only had her baby today yay congratulations bet like just after a midnight
