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 straightforward legal advice, remember Watermans.
Happy Tuesday, welcome back.
It's just me in the studio on my own today.
What a shame.
just kidding. Jess is on the big screen
so
God, look at my big face
She's over in the
LVey
We are so professional guys
What the hell
Los Angeles
I've got an earpiece in
And I've got a little microphone
I'm clicked onto my tinnies
Feeling profesh
I'm in a hotel room at the moment
So it's not a nice view
If you're looking on YouTube
But I do think it's quite a nice background
Like it could be a lot worse
If it'd be in a hotel
very true it's actually quite a nice hotel actually um i'm not meant to be staying in a hotel so what
happened was i landed and then my friend charlotte didn't even tell me this because she just didn't
want to stress me out which you know me i'm not going to ask about anything and she says i'm having
my whole house redecorated um she lives in long beach which is with l a traffic about an hour
away she just says listen i don't want you to come back to my flat whilst we're all up in the arms
with painting and decorating.
So I'm going to give us a two-day staycation,
less so she treated me to it.
And it's in the west side of L.A.
So a lot of my things on my list that I sent her
wanted to do was around this side of L.A.
So she was like, let's stay here for two days.
We can do a little food tour.
And yeah, so she was staying in this nice hotel called Hotel June.
It's really cute, actually.
Very minimal but chic, you know.
Got ASOP bath stuff in it.
That's all you need.
When you see that, you think this is a good hotel.
So are you in West Hollywood at the moment?
No, no, no, I'm not up that way.
I'm like near Abakini, like Venice.
Not far from Venice, like 10 minute drive.
So you're not from all the celebs houses?
No, no.
That's a shithole around there, don't you think?
Like, the Walk of Fame and all that is dumb.
I don't like it.
But then again, Venice Beach is a bit crazy.
Curis.
I do love America.
When I'm here, I'm always like, oh.
on this episode
we're going to just catch up
with what we've been up to
since we've partied ways at the weekend
and then
a couple random thoughts
what's been a lot on your plate is Oz
what's been a lot on my plate
quite a lot actually
I don't have my cue card today I do apologise
but I was in Blackpool at the weekend
so you were
which I forgot to mention last week
it just slipped my mind
I don't know why
Anyway, I went down for the night on Saturday
and went to the Pleasure Beach
Pleasure Beach where she's Long Beach
No difference there
And actually had a great time
Tell us what you did
I went on all the big rides
I was very brave
But what did a sister in that was I had
anti-sickness bands on
So the band dried each wrist
That apparently touches like the pressure point
I don't know how all that shit works magic
and then I had two anti-sickness tablets
and I was also sucking on
shut your mouse a lot of you
I was also sucking on ginger sweets
the whole day and either all of them
is a combination or one of them worked wonders
because I don't feel sick on the rides
having a great time
that's brilliant I need that for car sickness
I know it was just stuff off Amazon
and in Holden Barrett I think
Jason's mum sorting me right out.
But we did that.
It was me, Jason, his mum, his mum's boyfriend, Gary
and his sister, Lisa, husband, Chris
and niece Millie.
They were like a last-minute add-on.
So that was quite nice because then there was like
a kid and it's just funner in it.
Yeah.
We also met SpongeBob.
We met SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward
and Jason's face was the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
That's his hero. He said that SpongeBob actually shaped his personality.
What square?
Just fucking nuts.
So we did that and then we went back and got ready.
Well we had to do a full bloody blow dry because we went on the water slide last.
And I must have been, you know there's always one person in the worst position.
so I think I was shielding everyone else they did still get a bit wet head to toe drenched hair
wet everything bought my jeans trainers soaked was drenched I had to actually blow dry my hair
nightmare and then we just went for dinner got a chippy got to be done and then went to amusements
did you win yeah I actually won um 60 pounds in the slot machines what like just
£60 pound coins?
60 pounds notes.
Oh.
Yeah, I went into the adult bit.
This was like at the end of the night.
You just put all in, they go around the bottom and it all falls out again.
No, we were doing that and we were doing like, you know, the ones where a guy's standing.
It's like pound for a shot, shot for a pound or whatever it is.
And the horse racing one and it's whoever gets the horses to the front fastest with the balls.
We did that a couple of times.
didn't win them I'm just not quick enough and then um later on moving into the adult slot
machine section which i got ided in love it sleigh still got it um so that was marison and then i was
playing on those machines and that's where i won 60 pound oh my god love that i know quite good
um and then the next day we just went a walk it was absolutely pissing it down the next day like the
we were at the pleasure beach the sun came out and it was bloody roasting we were all like
stripped him off and the next day it was peeing down from the heavens above and we just went to
some amusements again they sat and watch the football and then we come up the roads
love it what i will say is the pleasure beach and stuff is quite good and good fun if you're
into that sort of thing but blackpool is a whole and i don't want to offend anyone here but it is a
fucking shit hole yeah well it's it is known to be a bit of a shithole isn't it but just like
Like, you know, that way when I was in places, and I know I'm a bit of a germifold
anyway, but I felt like my hand sanitizer was coming every two minutes because I was just
a bit like, and when you're touching all those machines and like coins and all that, like
it's a bit, it's a bit much.
Yeah.
Anyway, it was great fun.
And then apart from that, really, I went and got my nails done yesterday.
For nashy nash.
for nashy nash I just got
like red tips
I was going to go all cowboy on us but
I don't know I thought I'll regret that
yeah you would
especially because they have to stay on for a few weeks after
only get back as well and you're just like no I want these off
I know and it's only a week
yeah
feel like my mum's French nails
yeah like once the moment's gone the moment's
kind of gone
you're like get them off now embarrassing
I know but if anyone noticed the last couple episodes
I had really long nails
they were long
they were like a witch
and then they were long and round
like what like fake nails would look like
I had to get them off so now I can like
pick my nose and that again without any
trouble do you know what I mean
love it
I can pick things
and have you bought anything for Nashville
um
well an order to arrive at the house
as we speak hopefully
so just
just like a few
wee pairs of shorts
because see when I was on holiday this year
all I wore was linen trousers
and they're no going to go
with the cowboy boots
so I had to get some shorts ordered
so just some shorts
some accessories
and then I'm still needing to sort
my boot situation
because I was just telling Jess
the boots sorted
my legs don't fit in them
I think a lot of girls
have that issue don't they
the calf area
it's the cats
it's like you need to get
like a wide foot
I need to wear like wide foot
in a lot of things because my feet
aren't big but they're
square so if I wear
points I have the opposite size
but if it was in terms
of like boots I've never really had a problem because
I think my ankles are my skinniest part
of my body my ankles and my wrist and that's the only thing
that I have going for me. You do have a skinny ankle
I know but when it comes to
calf issues I think there needs to be like a
wide calf boot
collection. Maybe that's a thing.
Maybe some places do do that.
I mean it might be...
But none of the people have that issue.
I know like once my foot was in
I couldn't actually get the boot up my leg.
Like there was just no space for my leg.
And it has buckles like on the side at the top
so I thought maybe they would loosen off but it didn't.
It was just for sure.
So that's kind of annoyed me because now I'm like sort of boots.
well I do have a pair of cowboy boots
they're pointed ones but I wanted
these were more like
Western boots I think you would describe them as
like kind of square toad
they're the flat ones
are the buckle aren't they? Yeah
so that's a bit of an issue
but apart from that I feel like I've got enough stuff
I've not packed then yet
obfes I wouldn't be that organised
and then I've got
going to go get my toenails done tomorrow
which is my birthday by the way everyone
and then my brows and lashes on Friday
so I'll be all spruced up
holiday ready
I hope the weather's nice
it's quite chilly here actually
is it
I mean it's boiling now but at night time
you definitely need a jacket so I would
I don't know if Nashville will be the same
but at night time you definitely need a jacket
because it is cold
do I think we'll need a jacket in Nashville then
maybe I've got two with me
That's about stress, so right
A wee leather
A denim
denim, wee leather jacket
Right
Yeah
One of my leather jackets says quite light actually
So that wouldn't take up too much weight or room
To be fair I could shove that in
You could always just put it on in the airport now
Yeah, I could
We want to go through with like 10 jackets on
Yeah
That's what I did
In my boots
Yeah
Joggy's tucked into the boots
I was thinking by the way
because last night right
we went to this bar
and it was like a rooftop bar
called Irwin Hotel
it's in Venice Beach and it was like really nice
she wanted to take me for the sunset
and there was this woman
that was there
I would say she was in her 50s
she was quite glam
she had all a cleavage out
she looked like a little bit of a rock chick
and yeah
she came up to us both
because we were taking a selfie.
She said,
oh, do you want me to take a picture of you both?
And we were like, yeah.
So she did.
And then we were like,
oh, what are you up to?
And she went,
I'm actually waiting for my date.
And I'm like,
oh my God.
Bear mind,
we're all sat next to her.
So it's like the perfect view.
She went,
but he's 15 minutes late.
And I was like, oh, okay.
I really hope he turns up for you.
And she said, yeah, me too.
We've been speaking for months,
but it is actually a first date.
But he has just text me to say that he's a bit late.
So I said to Charlotte,
we were just about to leave at this point.
after we got a picture. I said, I can't leave. I've got to witness this. And she was
like, okay. And then she went, I went, oh, what's he looked like? She went, he's basically
a Caribbean king. I was like, oh, gee. I was expecting this big, sexy man to walk through.
And I was like, okay, but he's late. She was like, yeah. So anyway, she went back to her
table after she took the picture and he'd called her to say, I'm on the way up. And honestly,
the anticipation to me, I watched her down in her drink. She was getting so nervous.
You were watching this unfold.
Yeah, I was, like, trying not to look.
I was like,
I was like, yeah, basically,
the lift was quite far away,
so then he started walking down.
And I was like, oh my God, oh, my God, here he is.
He had on a fucking string vest,
you know, the people that go to those gold gyms.
And he was not a Caribbean king.
I mean, he was like five foot nothing.
And, I mean, he was quite dead looking,
but when I tell you he was probably about late 20,
20s, early 30s, I shit you not.
I was like, oh my fucking God.
Even this is a catfish or she just loves young men
because it was not what I was expecting at all.
And just the first, you know,
when they first watched them hug and stuff,
it was so awkward.
I can't watch.
I can't actually watch this situation involved.
So I said, Charlotte, we need to fucking leave.
But it actually got me thinking about a little random thought
because when I was on the plane,
I sat next to two people that didn't know one another
and by the end of the flight
they were like laughing, joking, like besties
it was a male and a female
and it made me think about flight romances
and I wondered if I'd ever had one
because I had one once
and I wondered if it's ever happened to you
or anyone you know
or any of my listeners
does it end once you get off the flight
no I'm talking about on the plane
yeah but once you leave the plane at the other side
yeah is that it stopped yeah well no
I mean you could obviously exchange numbers or whatever
but I mean more so than likely I suppose you probably would if it was like a flight romance
but yeah true well I did um I was just about to say no there
and then I remembered when we were going to Ibiza like
I don't know it must have been about five years ago obviously before I was with Jason like
five or six years ago. Obviously those flights
are like rowdy and there's just like lads
lads, lads, lads, boosin and all that.
And there was a guy, I think he was sitting behind us
with these group of pals. Or was he sitting alone?
I think he was sitting alone. So then we were chatting
to him, obviously, keep him company. And that was a bit of like
a flirty romantic situation. And then
when we were in Ibiza we kept like messaging
and we're going to meet up. We actually never did.
Like it just didn't really work and actually
wasn't really that interesting. It's just we
were quite drunk on the plane it's quite a buzz but he was it quite a nice guy in that so that was
probably the max of my flight romance experience I always thought like you know people say that they
do like um my oh high club my high club and I thought I don't know anyone that's done that but
that's a lie I have and it's not me but there was a friend of mine I'll tell you off camera who
we went away one time and we went away with her boyfriend as well
And they definitely went off and did that.
And the toilet.
And I was like, yeah, I thought, just to say they did it and they did it,
I think we might have been in not first class or business, but basically we knew
somebody that worked for the airline and they managed to upgrade a couple of them up on
the flight.
And yeah, they went off and did it.
And I was like, that's so bullsey.
And I know a lot of people have done it.
And I really want to know if any of our listeners have either had a flight romance or
doing the mile high club and I need to understand the ins and outs of how they managed it
if they got caught if they got away with it just want to know you get done if you get caught do you
not I think so yeah I need you know where people do it if like even in the toilet you can't
swing a cat in there you can hardly wipe your fucking arshul never mind shig so um I was thinking
about my flight romance right and this is not anything to write home about and weirdly we never
exchanged a single word with one another.
Oh my God, right.
I went to Disneyland, Florida when I was, I think I was 14.
I'm trying to think of the era because I was listening to Jojo's album.
You know, Jojo?
Yeah.
And I remember I read the Angus Sons and Fullfuntil Snogging book whilst I was there.
So this was my era.
I was just thriving, going into like a, you know, trying to figure out who I'm not a girl,
I'm not yet, one.
And anyway, I was in the queue with my uncle, my cousin Kelly, and then my mom was on the trip as well.
And basically, we got on the fly and there was a super, super, super, super hot guy.
He must have been probably 15, 16.
He was so gorgeous.
And you couldn't write it, but we ended up sitting.
and being put next to each other.
So it was four rows in the, four seats in the middle,
and it was like us, too,
and then two people beside us both.
Right.
And the whole flight,
he just, like, we had blankets over us.
He kept sort of, like, touching my leg.
And then I just sort of, like, touched his leg back.
Right.
And then by the end of the flight, Zoe, I shit you not,
we were actually holding hands like that.
We were holding hands like that,
hadn't spoke one fucking word to one another,
never knew his name.
We were tending to be asleep for 10 fucking hours.
And when we got off the flight,
his family went one way and I went my family
and we're just looking at each other in passport control
like never ever spoke to him again
how fucking weird is that
he didn't speak at all not one word to each other
nope
but we're holding hands
yes
that is the weirdest fucking thing I've ever heard
isn't it it all came back to me I was thinking
oh my god remember when I was that weird teenage
and I did that with that guy but what the fuck
he was so gorgeous as well I wonder there he is
hi if you're out there
get back in touch
yeah
remember holding a random girl's hand on a flight
back in fucking 20
but even know when it was
2002
yeah anyway that was my
random thought on the plane
and I thought I need to know
if any of our pub pigs have done anything
come on try and top me
try and make a weird a fucking thing
I think a lot of people that have went to Ibiza
will have stories on that
people were taking drugs
in my flight and everything
no shame
really
you must have put it up their asshole
to get on the plane
probably
that's what you do is it not
so when I was on the plane
yeah well yeah
they do
drug smuggish
right
are you tell me about
what you've been into then
yeah
so on the plane
I watched
a quiet place
day one
a quiet place
as in the scary film?
Yeah.
Not really my sort of thing, but I quite liked it.
I mean, I watched Beetlejuice for the first time,
and I think this might shock a lot of people.
I've not seen it either.
And I need to discuss it with you and anybody else.
I wish Murray could hear this conversation.
It can.
But, okay, I'm sure all they have watched it
because they just give me that vibe.
Nods of approval.
Guys, that has to be one of the shittest films I've ever watched,
and I do not understand.
but I do not understand why everyone is raving about it.
And I think, do you know what it is?
I think what it is, is back in the day,
there was probably not a film quite like that.
And if somebody watched it now
and they had anything sane about them,
they would be watching it like,
what the fuck is this?
And I think what it does for people
that have watched it in the past,
it's more of like a nostalgic thing for them.
Yeah.
Because it is honestly, the weirdest storyline,
the weirdest sort of like
how they've tried to create scary things
it just looks like
not any form of good technology
and AI in this day and age
which I think is probably quite funny
like I was laughing at it
but it just didn't make any sense to me
and it was not at all what I thought
Beatle Juice was about and I thought
this is weird as fuck
oh that's a shame
because I was going to watch it
when I got back from Nashville
to get any know like the Halloween
Atominal feels because I've never seen it either
but it's like what's it on the plane on the way out then
I feel like I'll be watching like
was it ends with us on the plane
um no but all of
nothing but you or something it was on it you know the one with
Sydney thingy
yep I watched that on the way in New York
I'm just going to download stuff my phone I think
because I've still not watched Love is Blind UK
so I'm going to download the whole series of my phone
and watching and then I also watch Zoe
blended which you said to me about
I fucking loved it and I was watching it thinking I feel like I recognise this storyline but I don't
really remember it an awful lot so maybe I watched it once and that was it what about the guy that
sings we're blending blending blending blending blending he's the guy from white chicks yeah um yeah so sorry
that's what I did and then I came to LA I was so tired I didn't manage to sleep once on the plane
And, yeah, I think being pregnant on a fly is pretty savage for your lower back.
I really wish more than anything I upgraded or told them and had the balls to say,
hi, I'm really struggling.
Please, can I have a seat somewhere else?
But, yeah, it was quite tough, actually.
My lower back was hurting me a lot.
I know you should have said.
I know.
I just didn't have balls.
I don't know why I was just embarrassed.
But, yeah, I'll probably be on the way back because it's fucked me up for a day.
Do you know what I mean?
It's kind of you're in the whole day.
Guys, buying your own house and flat can be so stressful.
So stressful.
And I feel like as adults were 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 minefield.
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 we got we landed she took
me to the hotel we checked in and then we went to air one and got the basic bitch love it fucking
movies and she was laughing like it's got to be done you're going to love air one it is an amazing
supermarket yes not of everybody in l a that actually lives their shops there but it is so good and we went in
and she had never had a smoothie before.
So she had the Haley Beaver one
and I had the mango passion.
$20 a fucking smoothie, can I add?
That's nuts.
When I tell you, it was the best $20 I've spent,
no fucking lie.
Like, it really is actually worth it.
I'm a tourist and I don't care.
Love it.
It's monopoly money, as you said.
It's not real money.
Yeah.
And then we went down to Aberkini,
which is one of my favorite areas of L.A.,
but it's in Venice.
lovely shops like every single shop you could think of that like really nice ones are down there
but more small boutiquey vibe and lots of nice restaurants we went to a really nice place called
um it begins with begins with g can't remember but i'll share it on my story really recommend that
so she we went there and sat on the roof and that was lovely but i was starting to fall asleep at nine
o'clock and she was like i can't believe you're still awake at this point i'd been awake for 27 hours
Oh, Jesus.
That is rough.
Woke up yesterday and then we just had more of a chilled day.
We went back again to Venice.
What did we do?
We went for breakfast.
I had a burrito at a place called White Shark, I think it's called.
Went down to Venice Beach.
Went on the beach.
Went in the water.
Didn't actually go fully submerged, but I put my feet in.
Nice.
We splash a bit.
Yeah, it was nice and warm, actually.
Lots of surfers.
And then we did a bit more shopping.
some gorgeous new bits actually um from a place called book mason never heard of it before
beautiful store um and then we came we had some fed some food where did we go we went back to irwin
rooftop watched the sunset where we saw the lady on the date um and then we came back to the hotel
and had some food here it was really good and then i was ready for bed again but today is a full day
I feel refreshed, I revived, and I'm ready to have my massage.
She's booked me a massage at 10 o'clock at her house.
And then we've got a full week of just fun stuff.
I'm having an in-and-out bag of tonight.
I can't wait.
Yum.
I'm jealous.
Yeah.
That'll be good aim.
And she's actually gone to air one now to get me the strawberry glaze smoothie
before we leave and get on the road because I was jealous of hers.
I loved my mango passion, but hers was better.
I feel like you're just living the chill, local L.A.
well-being and wellness journey kind of life.
Well, I've been to L.A. three times.
So I've done the Walk of Fame.
I've done, not Runyon Canyon.
Yeah. No.
What's Runyon Canyon?
Isn't that in Vegas?
Don't know, but you've done that big walk-up to the sign.
Whatever the fuck that's called.
I've done that.
I've done, it's just on everything, all the touristy shit.
I've done nobu, Malibu.
Yeah.
I've done all of that.
And I just think it would be nice for me to experience something different.
I've even done hunting some beach area.
I did that with Richard and went down to San Diego.
I did San Francisco.
And yeah, so I just think this time it was nice and me just to chill.
And also, I am pregnant.
And that doesn't mean that I can't do an awful lot, but I do get tied quite quick.
And when you see me, Zoe, you're going to be like, what the fuck?
I'm actually massive.
I woke up this morning like, oh my God.
and I don't know if it's just swell
but it's big
and it's not stopping moving about as well
like non-stop
will I be able to feel it this time or not
you know what I'm not sure but you'll probably be able to hear it
maybe when it's happening I'll put your ear on my belly
and we can have a little listen
yeah that's what I've been up to
the rest of the week we're just
we're doing another little sort of like nice trail walk on Saturday
and I'm really going to downtown LA
tomorrow which is I'm excited about
go into a nice restaurant that I really want to go to
Grand Central Market to get some proper tacos
Charlotte's man here,
fiance, should I say, is half Mexican so he knows all the best spots.
But also, I was going to just talk very quickly about Charlotte
because I thought it might resonate with some of our listeners.
But do you know this story, though, about Charlotte?
And why she's here?
Yeah, but you only told me that day.
Yeah, so I honestly, being here and being around my friend who's just doing so well,
I can't believe how much of a good life she's done for herself over in, like, America.
She has done the typical American dream of what people think they want to do and aspire to,
but she was brave enough to do it.
And Charlotte was basically, she's from Essex, Leon C, so South End.
And she was married quite young.
a nice relationship
she had the whole five bedroom
really nice house
and me on sea
gorgeous life
it would probably look
picture perfect
from the outside
and then
some sort of like
lots of things happen
in the relationship
and she was around
I met her when she was about 29
and then
I lived with her for a little bit
as well
for about two, three months
because I was moving house
in London
and she put me up
bless her
and then anyway
her and her and a husband
at the time just grew apart and there was the whole question again about when you're going to have
children they were married for so long she didn't know if it was happening for her she didn't even know
that's what she wanted and yeah she ended up her brother ended up moving out to LA because he works in film
and yeah she just came out here for a holiday absolutely loved it but her and her husband at the time
are quite rocky and then she ended up coming home and leaving him and just saying like this isn't
working going forward it was very much a mutual thing
They grew apart and she basically redid a whole life from a five-bedroom house to five boxes in the space of like a week.
She gave up everything and she loved L.A. that much that she decided to come back again for New Year to see her brother.
And when she was out here, she met Marcus on a night out just dancing.
She said she was dancing to Usher, bad girl, you know, because you're a bad girl.
And she just started dancing with this random guy at the bar.
and he had never he never went out in this place either but his friend rang him like mate let's go out
so it was a very random and she only went to this bar because her battery died in the hotel
and then she was stuck charging it and speaking to the concierge guy and he said oh you should actually
go to this place when your phone is charged but she only went there it was like all fate
met Marcus and yeah they ended up having an amazing connection he's 40 I think he's 46 and she's now
she's 40 next May.
Anyway, this was eight years ago,
and she ended up having a whole year of changing her whole life,
became, learned how to do photography.
She was in fashion with me, account management,
and just grinded her ass off to come and get,
like, the working visa to come over to L.A.
And she ended up getting one after a whole year of hard work.
And she is now one of the top home photographers in California,
like Los Angeles for like all some of the most amazing she's in vogue she's in all of the
home magazines and websites and she works with like a million um interior designers and she's
got so many friends out here beautiful home and honestly like just being around I'm like you're
such an inspiration and she was somebody that was never left Essex the whole life but then
just took one brave move and a whole life completely changed overnight and she's now here
living the fucking dream like it's amazing um
But she does want children, she thinks.
So, and she's 40, but she thinks that might happen for her in the next year or two.
So she's hopeful.
So we'll see.
But if she's very much in the mindset of it, if it happens, it happens.
If it doesn't, it's not meant for me.
And I just love her attitude to life.
And I just think it's so refreshing.
Yeah, I just think that's amazing, by the way.
And also, it just shows you it's never too late to start over.
That's my point.
because when you're over 30
I think a lot of people worry
that their life is over
and that's it for them now
like you say a lot of people settle
and they settle half that they think they were
and she knew that even though she was in
a really lovely relationship it just wasn't
her and she didn't want to have children with him
because she knew and bear in mind
the ex-partner
the ex-sorri husband is now
he also moved to Australia
and is now married with two kids
So his whole life changed too.
He took a brave move and did something different.
I just think it's incredible that people are that brave in life.
I know.
Put their mind to it, they can really make it work.
And I just find it really inspirational.
I love listening to her stories.
She's just amazing.
Love it.
I'd like to listen to her stories as well, to be honest.
She's bringing back a smoothie in five minutes.
I might tell her to come and say hello.
Get her on.
Bring her on.
Come on, next guest.
yes um right so we had a funny random story didn't we a DM and I can relate to this so much
can you relate to it yes when it when it came in I said to the guy and I was like this is so
niche and so fucking weird but I'm obsessed because it's extremely true so someone messes just saying
I have a random thought might be shite but I'll give you anyway I'm here to confirm I don't think
this is shite. How do you become a backdoor family? You know when I read that first
lines every I was like this can go one or two ways. That's exactly what I thought I was like
what could this mean? So she elaborates like you know there's always that one family that are
different and don't use their front door what's that all about coming from a family of front door
users, I don't get it. Does it depend
on the house type? Is it a family's tradition?
How did it start? I'd like
to hear from these backdoor families
share your secrets.
That is a very valid
thing to discuss.
Some people's
front doors are barricaded with
boxes that they've not used it in fucking years
and I'm like, how has that
happened? I don't get it.
I just don't know why you would go around to the back
door when you've got a front door.
when I was a kid it was very much like that
like it was like use the back door
and I don't know if it's people that maybe have dogs
that they don't want the dog
they don't want their pets or children
to run through the living room let's say
when you open the front door it goes maybe yeah
you don't want you to run on the carpet
or want to keep the room nice
but so much so that it's ended up being a no entry zone
full stop even the postman shits himself
like oh fuck we need to go to the back door for this family
I do know quite a few people that used the back door
I did use at my very first house
obviously my mum's house
we used the back door
but that was because
it was on a corner
and the front door it was an old house
and the front door was kind of like
back
you went up a wee path
but that street isn't the street she parked on
so we parked on like the other street
which was then the side door
that took you into the kitchen
so they were both kind of front doors
and I would go as far as saying I don't think I ever walked through that front door
really
like it just wasn't used
and also my mum's bedroom was downstairs
in the front room so her room bedroom was right next to the front door
so I don't know if that's maybe why as well
because then you would have walked right through the house to get
to like the living area
yeah
and then a couple
my pals use the back door
but they've got pets
they've got dogs so maybe that is why
we need to get our listeners to send
in are you a backdoor family
we need to put a floor
yeah
that is flipping hilarious
do you know what else I think it might be
it might be people
who don't want
like dirtiness at their
engines to their home
so you'd maybe like take your shoes off and stuff at the back door
and leave them
because quite often if you've got like quite a big house
there's a utility room at the back door
you know what I mean
that can a wee room like the wash machine and that's in
a bit of a dumping ground
interesting
right messages and tell us
why if you are one and why
and how that happened ask your parents
how that ever happened
or maybe you own a house
and you're a backdoor family
we need to know
strange
strange world we'll have him
I also had
a thought at the weekend
and it was
stupid birthdays
and this might be
people might have
thought about this before right
probably have
but see when you turn
like let's use me as example
turning 28 tomorrow
right
people would then say
going into my 28th year
but that's not your 28th year
that's your 29th year
very true yeah because when you're zero to one
that's your first year
yep and also
see when you turn an age
it's actually like you're tricking off the age
more than going into the age
do you get what I mean by that
I get exactly what you mean
I said this when I was in Blackpool
and Jason these mum were like
they kept giving me strikes
for like saying annoying things
and they were like that strike three
and I was like I think that's a very valid conversation
you were getting striped
I said two things
in the car and the way down Jason was like
that strike one and then there's strike two
and I was like fucks sake I need to know what you said
what did you say?
I think I was just I don't know
I can't even remember I think I was just like
asking stupid questions or being annoying
but I thought that was quite valid
because I'm actually going into my 29th year
not my 28th year
yeah
so I'm close at the 30th
I thought
that is a valid point
have you eaten anything nice
I want to show you the thing that I've bought
from Air 1 one second
because OMG
I love
I love Pekin pie
pecan as they call it here
a pecan
look at this
pecan
prawn
like you know
how would you say
I'll show you
look at this
wow
and when I tell you
it tastes as good as it look
I wish I could have a bite
oh my God
that's not fair
we're not meant to you're doing a special
this week's we're not together
I know but I really want to show you my
movie as well
what time is it there for you
it's five to five at the moment
ohmg it's five to nine here
nine a m that's another topic of conversation
I can't even get into time difference
that fries my brain
well Charlotte is pretty weird like me
in the sense of we
we really deep things
that don't necessarily need to be deep
but she was saying to me that she
feels like time isn't
is it linear like
the whole thing in terms of like Monday to Sunday
and the fact that it's now 9am is it's all made up
isn't it like it's a made up thing
the weekdays that months are all completely fake
so are we just rolling into one
like how the fuck are you at a different time
how am I on a different day to you almost like
how is that possible
I'm going to we've just made that up
what's to do with the sunlight
to do with the sunlight
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but somebody's made that up.
Even the numbers, they were never a thing back in the day.
No, I know what you mean.
The thing about time difference for me is your body does such wonderful things, right?
Why can it not get into a time zone quicker?
You're going to struggle with this jet lag when you get to Nashville, by the way.
I know, I was thinking that myself.
You land at 7pm and that's technically 1am in the UK.
So you need to sleep on that flight.
I know.
You need to try at least sleep on that flight.
If I read or watch stuff, I will get tired
because I feel like my eyes get tired on a flight quite easy
if I'm reading or something.
And I hopefully will have my Kindle.
Oh, yes.
So hopefully I can sleep.
I just find that quite difficult.
It's not comfy enough, but I will take an X-ing.
Did you use your pig one?
yeah of course
and I use it the flightway
yeah
I use that non-stop
but people are like
God that fucking girl
and that pink thing
but I just didn't have it off my neck
for 10 hours
I loved it 11 hours
yes
I'm the flight with
what time do you get to Nashville
4pm
right so about
earlier than us
and do you know how far
Airbnb is from the airport
because I don't
no I don't
but what I was thinking right
was I could land and then I'll go to the Airbnb
and then you not need to go and get the car
because I don't think I feel comfortable picking up that car
anyway on my own so
yeah guys we've we've ordered a ten seat
to truck when there's now only
four of us going five five of us
five
who do we think we are and we can all have a bedroom each as well
tell me
yeah because it sleeps ten people and there's only five of us
I know but isn't, there's four rooms
out and isn't one room double bunk beds
yeah it is but also me and Molly
will probably share a room anyway because she'll
probably want to look at your room sleeping
yeah
but we will give a bit of an Airbnb tour
on the Patreon
