We are so excited to say that this podcast is sponsored by Watermans.
Wait, the solicitors?
Yeah, but they're not like regular solicitors, obviously.
So not super serious and complicated?
Yeah, I would say they're a bit more straightforward kind of vibe, our vibe.
I can get bored with that.
For straight forward, legal advice, remember, Watermans.
Welcome back, Piggy, season five, here we go.
Have you missed us?
We hope you've missed us.
We've had a long, long day.
but we're here finally and we're trying to bring the vibes.
We're starting on a high.
Because it's been exhausting.
But if you're watching us on YouTube, can you see our beautiful new set?
We have an updated, mature, homely, wholesome, warm.
We are elevated mature queens.
We felt like our set before was perfect
and it was a far cry better than what we had originally.
But this is more us.
This is more our vibe, our style, and we can't take full credit because...
We had the lovely help from 1126.
Yes.
Who are a personal shopping and stylist service?
This is not an ad, by the way.
We love them very much.
And we asked for their help and they created us some mood boards.
They basically just kind of got our previous set style.
and also just maybe had a little look at our sort of personal style
and then put together three mood boards
both me and Zoe picked the exact one that we both loved
and it was exactly what you can see in front of your eyeballs
and they just sent us all the links to everything
it was super easy
and then she kindly came and actually built the set for us today
which has taken a long time because we wanted to get it perfect
it's the curtains are footy
yeah like getting all the footery
footery what's that
um
homely
No
like
Fiddily
Oh
Never heard that phrase before
Want to add to the list
Fittery
Maybe
Now I'm thinking
Do people say that
Well yeah
No they do
I've had a nod of approval
Okay
They definitely do
But anyway yeah
So they helped us out
With a set
Which
We just needed a wee refresh
You know
And what they offer
As their service is
So basically
They're a personalised
Styeless service
But not just for your
personal self
In terms of your wardrobe
but also anything in your day-to-day life, basically.
And we went to a dinner with our management, Becky.
She had like a thread dinner with all of the people that are on her books.
And the girlies are also on there.
But anyway, I was sat next to Carolyn and she was telling me about a service that they do.
And it is you can pay monthly.
I think it's $25 a month and you get their issue.
It's called 1126, but 1-1-2-6.
And within this issue, she will correlate a whole style guide for you
with everything that's trending, anything that's just, she predictions.
So many things, it's really useful, especially if you just have no idea what to wear,
but also including that price, you get two personalized outfits styled to you with links to shop.
I think that's brilliant, by the way.
I've never heard of a service like that, and I am 100% going to pay for that.
No, no, same.
And also, it actually just looks like an old school magazine.
Yeah.
Like, you know, it's got a picture of something, and then it's got where to buy at the price.
I miss them do you
I know
you just don't
that's just not a thing
these days that you really use
but I think what the problem is
with magazines is it's just
full of either
complete shite gossip
celebrity gossip
which just tarnishes everything
and then you never really have a magazine
if it's vogue it's full of ads
full of full page campaign ads
there's never really a magazine that you can get
you can actually get full use of information from it
yeah this is not getting any that stupid shite
in between
yeah important bits
so we thought we'd just mention that
and we're definitely going to try and get the gellies on the podcast,
maybe on a Patreon, aren't we?
Just to explain how they run their business, really,
because I find it so, like, what's the word I'm looking for?
Inspiring.
Inspiring or fascinating, that's it,
that you can style someone else
when I find it so hard to style myself.
Totally.
Do you know what I mean?
Like things that suit body shapes and stuff.
Whereas I feel like,
that's what I'm actually not good at
because I want to wear things
that don't work with my body shape.
But I think another thing is what they do
is they come to your house
and she was telling me this
because I said, I've got so many clothes
but I've got nothing to wear.
I think we all feel that way.
We've got lots of things in our wardrobe
but nothing to wear.
And she's like, no, no, no,
we also do a service where we come to your house.
We'll put everything out on your floor.
We'll put outfits together for you.
You'll try them on in front of us
and if you like them or you don't.
But we'll tell you what pieces
you're missing from your wardrobe.
So like elevated, staple pieces.
that are good quality that will last you time and time again
and I just think that is a service that I need
because sometimes I just can't be fucked to think what to wear
and also I want to look nice and presentable
but you know
I'm just always flinging on my gym leggings
which is not a problem but
but you know what else is like that
see when you're doing a wardrobe clear out you realise what you've got
yeah so see for like maybe a month after that cleared out
I feel like I'm quite good at dressing
because I remember the different things I have
yeah then I forget again or I felt when you shite that I wear once
Anyway, so we thought we'd just tell you who they did that
because we always get loads of questions of where things are on,
where are from in our studio.
So maybe on another episode we can go through bits and bobs
if you want to know where it's from, if you like it yourself.
But we've still kept some things that we're from our old set
and we still think it's got that feel.
But we love it and we hope you love it too because we just are so excited.
If you don't, tough tets.
Tough teddy whitties.
Anyway, since we've been gone.
Since we've been gone,
I can be from the first.
A lot has been happening, guys.
What the fuck?
You ready?
Yeah.
Right, you kick it off.
So since we've been gone, we've been to, well, I've been to Croatia.
I've been to Miorca.
I went to South of France.
I went to Madrid.
Tommy and Molly broke up.
Oasis are back.
What the, Julie Isabella got married.
And the weather's still fucking shite.
Fucking shite.
Honestly, we've read some new books.
We've watched lots of.
Binge lots of things on the TV.
Love is blind.
Wow, Love Island finished.
Thank God.
There's loads of new phrases that we need to get on board with
because we're not Gen Z enough like Brad Thama.
So demure.
So what's that, bollocks.
Everyone keeps saying.
I don't know, but we always need to do it in a chat for a description
because I just don't know what it means.
Lunch and a yep, yep, yep.
We're not down with the kids, but we're going to do a section
this season of where we're just going to talk about what's going on in the world.
and we could try to be better, more Gen Z humans.
I actually just need to act my age.
You do.
I think I keep you young off the time.
No, you do.
The group chat keeps me young and I'm the youngest in it by quite a bit.
Yeah.
No, we're joking.
We absolutely love being, well, are you a millennial?
No, I am.
I'm one year.
I'm on the cusp.
Yeah.
Which I think is so telling because I couldn't be further from being a Gen Z.
We're millennials and proud, and I'm sure most of you guys,
we all love a little bit of this chit chat.
we actually do
I'm only joking
but sometimes
it's hard to keep up
I can't keep up
and my for you
page on Tech Talks
just not these things
mine's like
it's really questionable
and have you seen
we've got
professional cute cards
now we're not going to
have our phone
so it looks
annoyingly awkward
but yeah
we're going to try
and have a little bit
more structure to
the show
maybe not so much
in this episode
because we want to
have a big fat
catch up
and let me ask you guys
what you wanted
to hear from us
today it was
did you see all the
responses
everything
kept saying everything there was like more Gs as it went on everything so we'll try but yeah
going forward today is just a catch-up and then over on Patreon we're going to do the questions that
everyone sent in on an Instagram story the other day but moving forward at the end of each episode
we're either going to have a random thoughts section yep a spit or swallow which we're only
going to do when we have something when we have something yeah yeah and then
then the other one will be a lot on your plates.
Yeah, which we will be asking.
You know, we were still going to be asking each other
what's been a lot on our plate each week
because that's the core to this potty wad.
Absolutely.
So, what's when I like your plate?
I like what you did, do I like that.
Well, Al actually just got back from Madrid.
So you said.
Two days ago.
And it was bloody roasting.
I couldn't believe the heat.
Like, I've never felt dry heat like that before.
Right.
but you couldn't get a breath of fresh air.
And we all know you get a bit claustrophobic.
Closophobic, darn.
What I was saying to Jess,
and everyone I've spoken about it since, to be honest,
is it's so weird that it's not at the coast.
Yeah.
Which I know people are probably going to be like,
well, not everywhere can be at the fucking coast, right?
And I get that.
But it was the climate of it
and being in a place that's that hot and stuffy
and there was nowhere for a breeze.
Was there not even a river?
Like there was in Paris and London,
like the 10?
hym's or
is it this sign
whether
sign
fucking out
never sign
um
no
well not that I know of
anyway
the only sign
the water was
a little lake
in a park
that we went to
go in a boat
but it's like
strackley park size
in fact probably smaller
than that
so that was quite
strange and I think
if I gave advice
to anyone who was
wanting to go
I would say don't go
and maybe like
July and August
when it's so warm
because the
streets are all like typical
like Spain
little town streets where it's all really narrow
there's just loads of tapass bars blah blah blah
but there's just we kept being like where is there an edge
yeah like where is there a bit that it opens up
because it's tight right now yeah
and anytime we walk down like a big hill or anything
you know that way you just feel that you're going to get to the bottom
it's going to open up and there're going to be water there
yeah I just wasn't that was quite bizarre
but apart from that it was so good
yeah I definitely would really recommend it
there was great shops
loads are just amazing tapass bars
there's loads of rooftop bars as well
we went to one called
360 which is on the top of
what's that I don't know how to say it's
R IU
VU
Plaza Hotel
I think it's quite a known chain
but I would say this
rooftop is a bit
kind of like a New York
viewpoint kind of vibe
that you can pay 10 euros just to go up
and like walk about it and there's like a glass
floor that you can walk along that kind of thing
but they've got loads of nice
seats like the menu is really nice good drinks
good food so we actually sat down
and we're there for about
honestly I want to say three or four hours
drinking and eating but
when we asked for a table they kept trying to
put us in the shade and we were like no no
we're not from here we weren't in the sunshine
thanks so anyway I would recommend
that
um
to what another weird thing was
no one really speaks English
Do you not think that's quite strange for a really
Is that not the capital of Spain
I don't know actually
Oh my God we're terrible at this aren't we
I think Madrid is the capital of Spain
And don't get me wrong
I'm not bothered by it because who might say
that you can't speak English
I can't speak Spanish
Or any other language right
But it's just quite unusual
It isn't usual
I love that though
I personally love that
When I go to when they can't speak a word of English
I'm like fucking fab
I do too
but we were having to get right in about our Spanish.
Like playing like picturesnary with them.
Yeah, and you're like doing all these actions for like ice.
The first day we got there, we went to the bar
and we were asking for an extra glass
because there was only two of us
and Abbey was just about to come and meet us.
So we'd asked for an extra glass for the Sangria.
And they kept just bringing like it was like,
it took them ages to understand we were asking.
Then they brought a tumbler with ice
and it was just difficult.
Yeah.
And I'm like good.
I'm not bothered, actually.
I think it's a nice sign.
but
it's when you order
and you go
translate it up
I know but
you know what it is for me
it's when you order
something
and you're trying to say it
but you're struggling
and then the question you on it
and then you get that nervous
embarrassed away
that then you answer
in English again
so it's like
you just don't really have like
yeah
the fluent
accent
to like keep it going
because then it throws you off
when they don't know
what you're trying to say
and a few of people
we're laughing at
as trying
like waiters and stuff
I was like that's actually
dumb bitches, can't even learn the basics when they come to a new country.
I know.
But I did think that was quite bizarre for such a popular place.
Yeah.
But I liked it.
I mean, I guess if you were a waiter at a restaurant,
when they employ you, it's probably not,
you don't need to speak English to work there.
No, I would never have heard of so, no.
The other thing I would recommend was we actually went and it was too late,
but the lake that I'm talking about is in a park called Routiro, I think it is.
and it's like a nice little lake and you can go on rowing boats
and it's meant to be really nice at sunset
so we did go for the sunset time but we'd just literally miss
like the last like sitting if you like for the boats
so we just watched from afar
like we weren't on the boat but we just watched them
and that was lovely and you get like a wee take away pizza
and just sit next yeah that was really nice
but apart from that just stought about and go to tapas bars
and get sangria sounds perfect
So what the way you want on a girl's trip, isn't it?
Two places we went to as well at the start, didn't do April.
I thought, well, we're not in Italy, are we?
No, we not.
You need the sangria.
I know.
But you can't drink sangria all day.
Like, that's, I'm pissed.
That's heavy.
Yeah.
You should have sava cava sangria.
No, well, we actually get white sangria sometimes.
Yeah, like white wine.
Yeah, because Lindsay really loves that.
But a few of places didn't do that either, because it's not the top, the typical.
Wow.
I definitely need to add that to my city break list
You do, absolutely
Love it
Anyway, where have you been?
So since we spoke
I went to first of all I went to Croatia
I was a defective festival with my dad
My stepmom and my sister
I went there last year
I think I've spoke to you guys about it before
But honestly it's probably one of the best places I've ever been
I don't love Tizno as a place in Croatia
And I actually don't
I'm not crazy about Croatia either as a place
and I mean this in the sense of
I don't love the food
and I'm not too
crazy about the heat
and the cobbily beaches
but there's definitely beautiful parts of it
but I don't it's not easy to jump from island to island
it's quite you know if you want to go to Havar
then he's going to get a ferry to split and blah blah blah
they're quite found apart
yeah and then I had to fly to
I think I flew to Zadar this time
and then I drove to my dad
pick me up and then we went to Tisno.
Anyway, it's not even about that.
We even stay in like a sort of caravan park.
It's not even a, like there's no sort of even semi-luxury hotels are saying it's like
a sort of static home.
But it's actually nice and what we want and what we need for the festival vibes.
Yeah, totally.
We were there last year and I loved it.
So it was good to go again.
Anyway, the festival was just amazing and I just can't explain it.
It was probably one of the best holidays I've had.
had with them that they've really been away with my dad my stepmom and my sister so like I was four it was so
nice for my dad to be away with us yeah um and then they're really into house music so my dad's always
been into house music since I was young um he used to collect like you know head candy mm-hmm so my dad
used to be massively massive into head candy um and then it's gone on to like glitter box I'm sure
most of you know what glitter box is but we think we like glitter box but we don't when it compares to
my dad and Emma like they know every single DJ
they've been to see them and travel to all sole weekenders all over the UK.
They've got their group of friends are all soul music lovers.
So they're into all the Facebook groups.
And bless them, they just, they're proper fans of it, okay?
I love that film.
They're staying at Pikes in October for my stepmom's 50th.
And they go into the last glitter box.
But anyway, so we went and I managed to get some friends and family bands for them this time
because I know one of the guys who's the head booker there called Andy Rayside.
he's one of the nicest people on this planet
and he's Scottish but I've met him
here years ago but stayed in touch
and he sorted me some friends and family wristbands
which as you can imagine
they were blown away
by just being able to be close
and touching distance to like a DJ
like does that mean you're behind the DJ?
Yeah so we were behind the DJ
if you wanted to you could stay at the front
but if you wanted to send at the back you can
if you get the opportunity to go behind the DJ you're doing it
and I think to the point where my stepman was like
I don't even dare stand
at the DJ but I feel so like
imposter syndrome I was like Emma just
enjoy it this is they honestly
had the best time and for me watching
them live their best life
made my trip
that's nice you know what I mean like even though I had
the best time so anyway I also managed to get them
on to the boat trips if anyone's going to defected
you'll know that it's really really difficult to get on these
boats they're like old pirate ship style boats
so there's nothing fancy at all but
there's minimal tickets
and there's like three or four a day
and each, there's two DJs that go on it.
So they love two DJs called Moose Tea and Dave Lee.
Dave Lee is actually Joey Negro that sang,
come I make a move on me.
But he also is known as Dave Lee.
And then Moose Tea is the guy that made,
I'm honey, honey, honey, honey, honey.
But they do loads of other songs,
but that's their original songs, okay?
So anyway, we got on their boat.
I was on the bear boat last year.
It was the best, but my dad never came on it with me.
And we stood right again, the exact same.
spark where he did last time right next to them and even moose tea remembered me was like oh my god hi
like it's such an intimate experience and again just seeing them to lit they kept looking at me like
i can't believe we're here that is so cute i can't cope with that no i just cannot it was amazing
i bet they were doing that a thing we say to do yeah this is their first time living too like
i just it was honestly like my face is hurting from smiling but they genuinely were
so buzzing.
Bless them.
Even like in my dad's garden, you've been,
but in my dad's garden,
they've got a glitter box bar.
Everything is about music for them.
So.
Love it.
So yeah,
that was probably one of the best trips.
And just honestly,
if you ever get a chance
to go to defective Croatia,
I really recommend that you go.
And then I took my mum to South of France
for her belated 60th.
I've just come back from there quite recently,
actually, like, what,
two weeks ago, a week and a half ago.
Yeah.
It was definitely kind of what I expected it to be.
I wish I had more time to plan it properly.
Now I've been, I'll 100% want to go back, especially with you.
But I just...
I'm just laughing at you soon.
I wish I had more time to plan.
So we've been booked for a year.
But do you know what I mean?
No, it all comes back.
What I mean in that sense is it's not like I didn't...
I had the time to plan it, but I didn't think I needed to plan it as much as I did.
I thought I could just turn up there and just wing it.
It's more that you hadn't been before, whereas you.
usually you've been where you're taking your mum so you kind of already have an idea of what
to do and how long it takes and where it is compared to this and well we didn't have any of that
but with south of france like actually travelling the riviera like i was i said i would stay in nice
which a lot of people tell you to base yourself there but traveling to and from all the other places
like i was let down massively by monica i really didn't like that at all i told you you look in one
direction it's like benedorm i do i do not understand the hype and i don't i shared it on my story
and 99% of people responded saying the exact same thing.
However, there was a couple of people,
and there were people that I knew as well that said,
you need to know where to go with Monaco.
And I just thought, that's fair enough, right?
But all the other places that I went,
I found something I loved.
I don't want to have to go somewhere that's so hyped up
to then go and find the little secret places that are nice.
I should surely bomb the hype it's had online or just known.
Yeah.
Have liked something about it, and I really didn't.
didn't help that it was extremely
hot
do you know what I'll say
it was I had so much wealth that it was
almost tacky
that's what I'll say
no I think I agree you was in that one
and my friend who works on super arts message
to be like oh because he's there all the time
and I thought he'll know
it was like go to cafe
De Parry which is the bar that's opposite the casino
which is 100% a tourist trap
but I walked in and the service was
rubbish we paid I think it was 50 euros
for one margarita
and a fancy lemon and a water
and I was like
I actually can't go for this
like this is just a joke
if you actually think about it
it's like this is ridiculous
you needed your passport
by the way to go into the casino
which we didn't have
but I wasn't that bothered
and then we went to other villages
like Menton
highly recommend Antibes
blew me away
I want to stay there next time
Villa Francae
I think it's called
which is just
slightly away from
Nice
loved that
as
I really like that
I didn't get to see much of it though
up the like windy hill
yeah
quite scared of that life
that's another thing I think I would say
a lot of people told me
not to hire a car
because the transport links
for the trains are amazing
but I think if I went again
I probably would
it's just easier
and you don't control or isn't it
yeah not that the trains were in I
because they weren't
but when I got to ES
and the train station there is
you're not actually at the centre
so you've got to bear that in mind
that's what I mean
I wish I knew all this stuff before
about each different place
and now I can visualise it and picture it
I definitely would plan
yeah when you get to
I'm just trying to think
I'm sure we got a train
but when you get off the train
you need to get a bus
yeah that's right
around the windy roads
and I think he started walking
and then we thought
no fuck that because it was absolutely boiling
and you need to get a bus
and that's the one that takes you
like right up to the wee
town that's all the wee like
tiny streets and shops and I'm
so I didn't get to explore that because when I got there
I was like Jesus Christ I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere
also can
I didn't really get to explore that and I'll say this really quickly but the
weather ruined two days of the trip and I
booked the um is it Lagarets
I might have said that wrong but it's the restaurant
that if you've been you'll know it's where they spin all the Atkins
it's meant to be really fancy but it's extremely difficult to get
into um luckily
my friend who works on the yachts knew the
owner. So he was like, oh, I can see what I can do to get you a book in. I was like, thank God.
He did. I was like, I can't believe it. And then turned up. All the trains were canceled to
Can, so we got an Uber. It was 90 euro to get this Uber. So I was like, okay, right, well,
it's the only option to get there. And then they were like, oh, sorry, the restaurant's shut.
We set up, we posted it on our Instagram. I'm like, oh, because I'm checking your Instagram story.
Am I? Like, what the fuck? Anyway, so that was canceled. Then we got to Cannes, the promenon, the
promenade to go in one of the beach clubs which again there's loads of them it's meant to be
amazing there's just put things everywhere there all shut because the can firework festival was
prepping for that so yeah it was a little bit of a disaster for a couple of the days but we still
made the most of it the taxi driver saw me again dropped us off I think he felt sorry for us
walking the streets and he was like oh what are you doing dropped us off at another nice place called
or golf something and it was really nice like when I think taking a local or a tax
Man's recommendation. You're never going to get it wrong, really. It always wins.
But yeah, the weather was disappointment, but apart from that, I would 100% recommend South of France,
and I would definitely be going back. I want to go back with you next year, 100%. I think it's
amazing for a girl's trip. It was quite a nice text that you sent me, actually, about that.
What did I say? I just remember you saying something like, I was just thinking it'd be so fun
if I was with Zoe and I thought, you're not wrong. Also, it's nice if you thought that about me
specifically as individual do you know what I was thinking me and you have never been away together
just me and you I was thinking that the other day why not why have we not done that why
no I was actually thinking that other day that makes no sense abroad we've never been abroad
just the two of us but why not I don't know it's so peculiar the amount of times we spent together
and we work together we could actually go and work there no I know right we'll make that our mission
even though the summer's over but no but we could go anywhere anytime true anyway um
That was me
and then you also went to
New Yorker
I went to
New Yorker
which the patron
Pigs will know
I stayed in the
worst area
ever
Oh I know
that's a shame for you
I'll just
quickly go over this
so that
no one else
makes the same
mistake as me
but we stayed in
Playa de Palma
if you translate
that it means
Palma Beach
that's the Spanish
coming through
there
and it was
basically
if you're looking
at the map
Palmas in the middle
Magalov
Santa Ponsix
etc are down to the left I was same sort of distance but down to the right okay so I thought
it'll be fine look there was loads of I just do a quick zoom into the map to see if like rest
on and there was loads come up and they come up right so I thought fine the hotel was so so so
nice what was it called um iron park right it was a HM or is it HM HM HM HM iron park was so nice
rooms were lovely it had a few different pool options but not like big like um thing me pools like
big family complex yeah um just like adults only then adults only as well um food was really good
everything was nice everything was nice nice gym and everything but the area that was actually
one street behind the strip essentially and there was not one place i wanted to eat food there
it was tragic and it was full
of big massive groups of people
all with football tops on and it wasn't
Euros related by the way because I was there during
the Euros but it was just
that's apparently where loads of them go
it's kind of like a second the Magaluf now
that a lot of people who are from Europe go
I think like Germany
Dutch
loads of people from that sort of neck of the woods
go there as if it's their Magaloof
okay right so it wasn't ideal but we were only a
20 minute bus journey into
Palmer so we went there maybe like four nights out of the week so it was fine a couple of nights
we just stayed in the hotel had food at the restaurant the football was on and they had a massive
screen out the back with like comfy seats and couches so just we drink football it was quite a good
atmosphere because it was Spain that was in the final um they won again Spain Spain of course
because it was again singling miles why I can't even forgot that I know it feels like ages ago um
That was a shame.
I know you didn't care
because you didn't want England to win
but to be honest with you
well no I did want England to win
yeah I did
but my main reason for not wanting England to win
is just because the people are annoying about it
is that too?
No I get that totally get that
but anyway you know what some of the memes
though at the time
all the Scottish people
just with all the
they go so hard with it don't they
like why did people up here
have Spanish flags outside their house
that's like oh Scotland
that's how much you just
don't want England to win
because I don't really care who wins sort of thing
but a lot of people do love Spain though
because they've got a lot of players that people love
and things like that I guess but anyway
but apart from that it was a lovely
chill holiday
I just think
New Yorker just does the job didn't it?
Yeah but I think as well our location made
as just really chill most days
like we did a day that we went on bikes
right up to Palma
which was really fun
and we did that again one day like just not as far up
but we usually do a couple of boat days
and go to different areas
but it just made this chill and it was actually nice
just to
relax
relaxation. You read a couple
books? Oh yeah
my reading on holiday
Court of Thorns
Not as...
You finish it? Yeah. Not as sexual as everyone's saying
quite disappointing actually
didn't love it until I was probably
three quarters of the way through
no I'm sorry I can't do that that is hard I know I only don't give up because I can't do things like that
but what I will say is I've not went on to the next ones yet because
and they're meant to be better aren't they yeah but you know what it is it's like
it's kind of when you start a really deep season or like TV series as well and it's like
you then can't do anything else in that time whereas I wanted to read other books do you know what I mean
yeah so I don't want to just devote myself to like a six part book series
when I want other books in between.
So I've only read the first one
and now I'm reading
The House Maid is watching.
So you are.
So my mum gave me The House Maid
which is the first one.
I'm reading the third one first.
But my mum said to me that
you can read them in different orders
but it probably is better to read them in order
because there's other things in the third one
that you won't...
I mean...
I think there's things you would notice.
from the other ones but yes
they're all separate stories
okay makes sense I think it's just the person in it
is the same person oh okay
and all three okay
like it at the moment yeah I'm loving that
I also did read Blood Orange on holiday
amazing and I love that
yeah Blood Orange is amazing I love that
so I think after the Housemaid is watching
I might read that one that you finished
The Silent Patient yeah so good
I'd like to read that
I started it ends with us
got halfway through
not for any reason
I didn't stop at
she was loving it
but while I was away
in South of France
my mum
finished
Verity
she loved it
which is coming out
as a film
did you know
yeah I'm buzzing
about that
I hope it's good though
yeah I do
and then she said
oh well if you're not
reading that book
whilst I wasn't reading
at the time
she picked up
it ends with us
she only flipping past me
didn't she
I was on like page 120
you went to a beach school
for the day
she was halfway through
by the end of it
I was like mum
you read so fast
she's like no
I just don't get distracted
like you do
I was like fair point
and then
then she ended up finishing it
and because she could see
where I'd folded the page
she was like
I can't believe you stop there
because two pages later
is where it all starts
and I'm guessing that's where
older Atlas comes in
because I said to you
I'd never got to meet him in the book
Right okay
Can I just say one thing?
You really weren't firing at all actually
Can I just say something
about it ends with us right
I really really loved it
but you know those diary entries to Ellen
I'm sorry if you are a mad fan
but I could not be fucked with him
That was a tough gig.
I was skim reading past them.
I was like, this is taking up half of the book.
I do care about Alice and Lily's past,
but I've just felt like it was just pointless, continuous chat,
like teenager novel shit.
And I was like, I don't really want to read this.
I don't think we needed it.
I think we got the jest of the relationship.
But you know, the film, I went to see the film, by the way,
and this is no spoilers.
But if you don't want to listen, then fast forward just 30 seconds.
but that actually isn't in the film
and somebody messaged me saying
I feel like they missed out so much
and they could have put in the diary entries
and I was like no I'm actually so thankful
that they didn't because boring
but from the half of what I watched in the film
because you still need to see it don't you?
Everything was as I imagined
but I do think they could have added in
some other key things about the characters
but all in all I really like the ending
I obviously had no idea what to expect
I'd never met older Atlas
I didn't know the meaning of it ends with us
I didn't understand
I didn't get to any sort of domestic
part
Yeah
So it was quite a shock then
Yeah
I mean you kind of knew it was going that way
But
I cried a lot
I was like
I've heard people are quite emotional on that
I'm quite intrigued to know if I'll cry
Probably not
Because obviously I'm not a massive crying
at these things
But I will say
It definitely comes more with age
Yeah
No it definitely does
emotional now than I ever have been like it gets progressively stronger each year it was the hospital
scene for me I don't know if it's in the same in the book near the end oh I can't remember now
oh no maybe I do oh I don't say anymore I know because I want to go and see it I won't say anymore
and I'm going to go and see it definitely 100% go with you mum yeah I know I might I don't think
she's read the book though oh and I think that doesn't matter I know but I don't think you
I do think you will have a connection
I think if you didn't read the book
I think you'd watch that film
thinking it was a bit crap
I do
I know like I think
my mum
It's got some substance to it
if you know the characters
would prefer to read the book
before she and something like that
or else you might think it's about shit
yeah
whereas I just quite enjoy a film like that
I know it's not easy to watch
because it's quite disturbing
but like
just a romance
quite easily pleasing that department
we do love a little romance
don't me
I watch the other woman on Netflix
what a film
what a film by the
I saw it was in the top three
and if you've not watched it
guys just go and watch it on Sunday
because it's so fucking good
I love films like that
I've never seen it before Zoe
that's a good film
I feel like I should give you a list of things like that
yeah like girny films
yeah because that's really my genre
of films for sure
easy watching
couples retreat style type films
you must have watched blended
isn't that with
what's her face
from Drew Baramore
yeah yeah that's a classic
Have you watched Just Go With it with Jennifer Aniston
With Adam Sandler
Yes
That's a good one as well
I could give you a list
I could give you a list together
And I'll put it in the Patreon chat
And straight after the other woman
I'll watch Notting Hill
And what a film
I mean I've seen that before
A film
No that's better than all of them
I've just mentioned
She
I love it
Do you know what I know you do with that song
Like I really like it
But it's hard to sing
Hard to sing
Because it's just she
Guys, buying your own house and flat
Can be so stressful
So stressful
And I feel like as adults
We're just supposed to know all this stuff
Did you know that it's considered one of the most stressful things
You can ever do in your life
I can believe that by the way
All the paperwork lawyers and all that
It's too much
It's a total mind field
Well don't worry
I have a solution that will make everything feel easier
Just let our sponsors
Watermans handle it all
Well they pack my boxes too
Not quite Lizzie
but they'll definitely take care of everything else
Perfect
What do you want to talk about next
Because there's a lot
Our event
Our event
Our upcoming Harvey Nichols event
Oh I was going to say we spoke about Doc Yard
Oh our upcoming event
Let's do it
Yeah
So we're just excited to meet Mory
You're an upcoming event at Harvey Nix
Isn't that like two weeks
Harvey Nichols
It's on Sunday
When this comes out it is on Sunday
Holy moly
That's coming down quick
And we've got a lot of things to catch you up on there
And it's going to be
It's going to be nice
That'll be a lovely wholesome day
And if you are coming
I'm thinking
What would you want to know
Dress codes
I would say
Quite nice
But not dressy
But you're going for a nice
Brunch
I would say like a lunch
And a few cocktails
Maybe like
on a Sunday
for an occasion
that's how I would dress
I would say if you were going to
this is maybe a bit extra
but if you're going to somewhere
like Glen Eagles
for the brunch on a Sunday
with your friends
what would you wear for that
potentially a wee thong heel
I think about to say
just a little thong
I was like
alright
satin green
I would say potentially
a wee thonghiel
or maybe like
jeans in a nice top
yeah
a chunky loafer
I mean trainers are accepted
always Mize
but just
if you're wondering, I'd say that kind of vibe.
Yeah, but honestly no pressure.
And then we're going to be talking about
through our few beauty bits
and then we've got a couple of little announcements
so it should be...
Some news from us.
Yeah.
You'll also get a goody bag
but all the beauty products that we talk about
you'll get a wee dissey-discount.
So if you're planning your financials
for the rest of the month,
if you're that sort of person,
keep that mind.
Yeah.
I'm not.
I wish I was.
I wish I was as well.
Just quickly, Tommy and Molly breaking up.
And I'm sure we're all over it now by the time.
I'm not.
But you know when it came out, all I wanted to do was speak on the podcast because my boyfriend
didn't quite get it.
No, no male on the planet gets it.
Even I don't understand why I was so bothered.
No, I'm not ashamed to see.
I am bothered.
I'm haught and bothered about that.
I don't, I'm not a huge Molly-Mate.
fan but I was bothered
I'm not massive either but I'm just
do you know what it is it's this is a prime
prime prime prime example
of never trust anyone
well that but also
what social media does to you
like the blindness of it
because say he has cheated on or right
which everyone is saying he has
100% by the way that's got that's the
only thing that could have happened
his stuff isn't a skip outside their house
he's cheating in her
this doesn't make sense but
I just feel like since that
I haven't on a look to his profile a couple of times
just to see if there's any progress
on anything because I don't follow him
and looking at all his pictures with him
the captions with her sorry
the captions and all that I just think
how could you? How could you but it just shows you
it really really just shows you
is that social media for you is that fame gone to his head
no I know but you know what I will say as well and this
could really bite me in the arse yeah
do I just feel a wee
you tiny bit sorry for him.
Why?
I think it's just
the thought of like
there's a kid involved here
he did really love her
he's made a mistake or even if
he's been really bad to her right
it's not fine
but his whole
personality
everything about him is getting ripped to fucking
shreds online and I know he made
this choice he knows he's in the public eye
but he's still a person
no I do agree with that I do think that
something like this especially could
really damage someone and make them do something crazy
and I saw the picture of him walking in the park holding Bambi
and I just thought at the end of the day
he's still this wee girl's dad
and I know he's done something to her mum which is not okay
but I don't know I still was just like
more so in the sense of like
my heart goes out to you having to deal with like all the shit you're getting
but I don't think it's okay
feel like the Molly Mae fans are just as cray cray as the Taylor Swifty fans
someone went up to him in the park
and was saying like you cheated on Molly and all that
because then the pictures I saw
of him going out and holding Bambi
he had his dad and his other brother with him
he's obviously going out with people now
I saw him with the bodyguard
when he took her for an ice cream
yeah that's the same one I'm talking about
his dad was with him as well
but I'm really shocked by that
and I do think what really hit me
hard in all this
ridiculous would even say that
is that her sister was on her honeymoon
and their best pals her and her
so like Zoe would have felt so bad being away and not being there to enjoy yourself
and also like feeling the guilt of I'm on like my really happy honeymoon yeah and no matter
what Molly says does whatever I think she was comments on their pictures though to make people
feel not her not get any hate for being on my head no I know but regardless yeah it's just a shit
situation yeah I don't know I do feel like that I understand what you're saying with
Tommy getting hate and everything but
if it's true
the rumors you've been cheated on and
they are saying I know this all could
all be false but there's rumors that he's got
somebody else pregnant there's rumors that he does it multiple
times yeah there's rumors
saying that he went to Macedonia and then
cheated on her and as he flew back
within the hour of him landing
she put that public statement out on her Instagram
it was quite fine and it's quite sudden
there's rumors that there was a video sent to her
with clear footage so she kind of
best up to him sorry he bested up to her
and he paid off someone so he didn't go in the papers
there's all this stuff speculating which probably would make sense
for somebody to be so sudden who is quite private with that sort of stuff
I know she shares a lot online but she is quite private when it comes to
maybe making like a rash decision like that
yeah when a week before she was saying how much she loved a fiancé and a YouTube
and we're planning a wedding yeah this is the thing right
and this is what gets me as well usually when you hear stuff like this
the people involved don't confirm it for weeks if not months
and you don't actually know for sure
whereas she wanted to get there before anyone else
and I respected for that but
she's got a big thing coming out isn't she
on the first yeah
what do you reckon that is
clothing brand I heard
I don't know because then in her YouTube she did give you wee snippets
and you could see what she was wearing and I thought
well she wouldn't do that if it was
clothes
interesting she was on location
anyway that was
the goss and Richard was like
why do you care so much she was like
why don't you
I was like you watching box
and he's like so
do you know what I just think about
see the minute someone sees that
wee circle come up on their Instagram
and it says Molly May and just post a story
like the insights
of that story
Jilly put that in the chat like I wonder what the
insights of that story frame are
and I thought
I would pay good money to see that
millions and millions
of millions of stories that would have got
that's crazy
which means absolutely nothing when your heart's broken
who gives a fuck
it's wee bamby I feel for
because you know what else is just not going to be another baby
as cute as she is cute
she's not going to create another baby that cute
because they're not going to have anymore
do you know I always think that about parents at split
and they'll get back together
I'd always wonder if there's any parents out there
that was split mutually and they've created the most perfect child
and they don't want to have children with anybody else
but they think, oh, shall just go and have sex with my partner again
and...
That's what the Kardashians do, is it not?
Do they?
Yeah, like they all still have more kids to be like...
They're exes.
Their exes?
Hey, if it works for you, who are we to judge?
Anyway, shall we finish on...
I've got a random thought and so do you.
Cool, ma'am.
Right.
So whilst I was in Madrid
I looked at someone and I thought
see if I could have any superpower
on this earth
I would warn the minute you look at someone
for there to be a wee
box above their head
a wee speech bubble
Like a sim
Yeah like a sim
And it would be age, name and location
Yes
But equally
Age name
There would be
Occupation I think is a good one
Yes so I then think
three facts about themselves
would also be good.
My favourite hobby, job
and their worst trait maybe
or their best trait?
Or even like relationship status?
Yeah.
That's quite a good one.
So I thought that would be really good superpower to have
because I just think...
That's giving Black Mirror vibes.
That could be an episode on Black Mirror.
You should...
Right into that?
Right into that, yeah.
I mean it is a bit oversharing to strangers, right?
But I just feel I look at people
and I think, like, what you're up to?
Like, who are you?
Like, what are you up to?
Do you know what I mean?
But do you know how you resolve that, Zoe?
You start a conversation with them.
No, I would rather...
I would rather learn how to get a superpower.
Excuse me, what's your age, sex location?
You'd know in two seconds.
But even if I'm sitting in, like, a cafe
and there's a glass window and someone walks by,
you just get the occasional person at you think...
When you're people watching you mean?
Yeah, you just get the occasional person that you think,
wonder what they're up to, or...
Yeah.
I wonder what age they are
I don't know
just curiosity
Yeah
But so then I thought
What would your three facts be
Oh
It's a tough question
My three facts
So I would see your name
I would see your age
And I would see where you're from
Okay
What are they good facts
Or they bad facts
They can be anything
What other things
Would you want people to see
Well I suppose I'd want people
To see my good side
I would want people to know
Three good things
Right well what would they be then
Oh my god I don't know
I would say
Like sociable
I would say
I'm kind
And I can cook
Yeah I think that's a good one
Yeah
Good at cooking
Yeah
Kind is in the sense of like
I would see good in someone
I'm sweet and kind
But I would say, like, I'd see, I'd make you feel good.
Yeah, absolutely. Friendly.
Yeah.
As well, I think you're quite friendly.
Oh, I don't know.
Obviously funny.
Yeah.
I think that's quite a given.
I think you need to say funny slash dry.
Because you're not funny ha-ha.
I beg to differ.
No, you are, but I mean, like, your sense of humour is dry.
No, I know. I know.
Yeah.
Fine.
But you're not allowed dashy's right.
okay it's just okay so we'll just say funny or we could say hilarious that's my
okay um I don't know what else like that people would want to see loyal loyal then I'd
maybe make more friends yeah people seeing these facts about me funny loyal and extremely
attractive yeah but they can see that they can see that with their own eyes
that is true that is true um what else perfectionist
perfectionist although that can be a negative yeah but somebody might be like i really want someone
that is going to be clean and tidy and organized in my life and she's the one for me you could put
organized up there but only with certain things it's i'm not an all rounder as organized not at all
yeah anyway i hope you all have a good think about that yeah have a good think about what your three
would be. That's actually quite a nice
exercise if we were saying it was somebody's
good traits. What are your three best
things about you? Think it right now
in your head. Or even
like what... And it's not about your looks.
What would someone... What's three words
someone else would describe you as? Quite like that one
as well. Yeah. Anyway
that was an interesting thought for me.
I have... I mean, I've got many
random thoughts, guys. I'm sure that doesn't shock any of you.
But when I was in
San Sebastian with
Richard, I was in this little
tiny cafe which again
there was nobody in there that spoke
a single word of English in fact hardly anybody
did and I loved it
but I was in this one particular cafe
where it was just full of I would say
elderly Spanish people
and
I sat there having a little
croissant I can't even remember what I was having
a little coffee and I was looking around
thinking I just wonder what all these
people are in this room are doing like it was so
well you would know if you had
massive before very true and I was thinking
And I wonder what you all do, like, what brought you to this path in life that you're also sat in this cafe with me now?
Like, do you live here? You're from here. You clearly are from here. But then I thought to myself, what do we all have in common in this room? Probably a lot. But is there somebody in the world? This is my whole thought process, by the way.
Is there somebody in this world that would walk through this cafe now with me, Richard, and all these local Spanish that we would all recognize.
Yeah.
A.k.a. who is the most famous person in the world?
That if I was sat in a cafe in, I don't know, China, they would know who it was anywhere.
Who would that person be?
Because the older person probably wouldn't know necessarily who David Beckham was.
My nan would, but maybe this old 80-year-old Spanish lady, maybe not.
I can give you a few.
Okay, so I knew the answer, and I said this to Zoe and she got it bang on.
But thinking about it now.
But maybe don't say who that person is.
is just yet, because I want you all to think.
Okay, take a moment.
And I was actually thinking about people that were dead.
So I was thinking of people like...
Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson was definitely one of the Marilyn Monroe.
But are they, but what I was thinking was if they were still alive now,
would they be, Michael Jackson maybe so,
but would Marilyn Monroe have been as famous now if she hadn't have died?
Slightly like Amy Winehouse and, like, I'm not saying that they weren't legend,
they were but when people die young they are remembered forever no I know um so yeah anyway got me
thinking then I started getting out a list of the most famous people in the world I don't know
how the fuck they rank it but they do somehow what must be and the amount of people that know
them can I just say that there was only one person on that list one person out of a hundred
that was British who is that person who's the British person yeah who was it
Prince William
And by the way
Well done
By the way
It wasn't Prince William
It was King Charles
But it was actually people
That were alive or dead
But in fact the queen
Was the only female
That was in the top
10 or 20
But what I was trying to look for
Was people that were alive right now
So the queen was there
I think she was in the top
Maybe five
Right okay
But she was the only female
That featured on that list
For fucking ages
Did that you?
Hated that, piss me
off and then it was King Charles which I don't really think maybe they do maybe they would people are
very into the royal family though more so out with our country I think yeah that's true but number one was
Donald Trump it's just keeping me straight away didn't it yeah and I was like I bet you Barack Obama was on it
too I think thought that two or three I'll have to try and find the list but I thought it I thought um it would be
someone like Cristiano Ronaldo just because it's football but then I thought no that old
granny probably wouldn't know who that was I know because he's but yeah I found that I found that
really interesting like who is the most famous person in the world and it was just
read that and last night I have one fun fact every night I'm trying to do something
because in my little deep hole of the internet and I was like what is the number one highest
grossing film of all time I'm not asked you this yet nor categories I'm not giving you a
agree but there's okay that i'm the top four number one and number three are basically the same
film it's not that old number four is old and number two is a marvel i'll give you that
of course it is number one you know what it is number one and three number one and three now think
about you guys if you're listening think about when this came out it was mega it was imax or
maybe not iMacs but it was like 4d it was i think maybe ai was a lot of shit going down avatar
well done that took richard flipping ages and by the way i don't like that i actually did
quite like it but number two when it came out the third that was number three by the way the second one
i didn't i didn't love that but i think people that are real film geeks appreciated how much
what was number two number two was avengers is that marvel have i made it
that up.
Not as.
And then number four, okay, this one's a good one.
And I'll let me give you some clues.
It's a true story.
It was filmed years ago, but the actual true story was back in the early 1900s.
The actual film core storyline is fake, but it could have been true.
No clues.
That is bang on.
I got nothing from that.
How did you get that from my description?
Sorry, Murray's just mouthing things here.
Guys, are you screaming at the podcast?
What is it?
It's a romance, but it's a true, tragic story.
Top Gun.
No.
But you're on the right line, right letter?
Titanic.
Yes.
Right.
Oh, I get your reaction now.
That gave me plain.
Guys, I love shit like this.
I'm such a geek.
Can I say one more thing?
What is the most expensive film ever to make?
This was a quick Google.
this could be wrong, but I think it's quite accurate.
Is it quite a recent film?
Yeah, there's loads of them.
There's loads of them.
