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. But straight forward legal advice, remember Watermans. Hi guys, and welcome back to a lot on your plates. We're on location.

We're on location. We're in a very gorgeous bedroom in our very fancy Airbnb. be in Nashville baby, you ha! Woohoo, you ha! It's always a bit of a hugover. Correct. I actually felt fine when I woke up though and all day until we had something to eat.

And we had plans for tonight and we've cancelled them because so he made a very good idea in Trader Joe's. Let's have a night in. I feel like we were always going to do it but we just hadn't put it in at the plans and I thought if we do it tonight A Wednesday. It's better now we've got the Thursday Friday Saturday. To go, wow.

wild yeah quite wise decision for me as as they always are as always um so after this we're going to record our Patreon episode our side dish which is over on Patreon FYI and our three friends are waiting for us the living room as we speak and silence heavily earwigging and they are going to come on and answer lots of our listeners dilemmas so I think it would be quite nice to have like a different range of different views and opinions because we've got all sorts of walks of lives and experiences between us, I would say. Correct. And we're also going to continue a dilemma which, if you are on Patreon, you'll know

that we discussed something, a scandal last week. It's probably the biggest scandal I've ever seen in a message to us. So it's basically somebody's best friend faked their full pregnancy. We're talking up until full term. 42 weeks to be in Zach. 42 weeks which it's crazy and we had a lot of questions

to ask this listener and she's replied and told us more so we're going to continue that over in Patreon because that's where we initially discussed it yeah so if you do want to meet us over there you absolutely can for Friday and we're going to give you a full vlog tour of this trip this Airbnb

and Zoe's been really good with the vlogging yeah and we're going to use that as a monthly special because we also have a monthly special every month over on there as well and we think it's well worth your four squids plus that

you have to say plus that plus that age yeah like service fear whatever it is oh my god by the way we were meant to have a professional setup please tell them it was 500 odd dollars

for half day and that didn't even include video so YouTube you guys who are watching wouldn't have this shit this is recording on a wish we could show you the professional setup We'll take a picture of it. You'd be recorded on a phone landscape in a very wonky tripod with a light that wouldn't rest in it because it would fall over on four haunted books.

On a bed. You think this Airbnb is slightly haunted. Everything that we've just described is on a bed with a wonderful set up behind it with two wall lights, like massive. What do you call that? I don't know. Big curtain. I keep saying, you know, when like a hotel or an Airbnb or whatever's, it got really cool decor, but it's like old furniture and like edgy lights. and all that, I love it, but it's itchy.

You're saying, this is itchy vibes. Like, touching, you know, like shower curtains and that. Even though they're cute, it's itchy. Zoe danced with a lovely old guy with one tooth yesterday in a bar called Robert Weston's World, and she actually went to the toilet straight afterwards and washed her hands and used hand sanitizer because she was like, no, itchy vibes.

To be fair, he was a little bit. He had one tooth, and it was green. He was so sweet, but he was just, even all the women, that were regulars in this bar were trying to grab Zoe away from him because I think he's just like the local tease by the way I know this probably isn't going to shock anyone but I didn't volunteer to dance for this guy like he approached me we'll have to well we'll send you the video we'll show you the story I didn't want to do you know what I mean also we've gone and done a

humongous that bag doesn't do any justice it's full to the brim we'll give you a quick peek sneak peek um a humongous in fact i'll show you one thing i've got it to my lips summer friday's thing that you tell me they need to buy but we're every week on patreon we're doing a product of the week theme tune product of the week there you go it's really good that one um and we have about 15 000 products of the week but we thought we'd show you we could maybe show you a couple on the main we'll we'll do that will be cute and cute but anyway yeah so that's the sort of shit you like to see

that's also over on there as well anyway what's been a lot on your plate jess then kick it off give us a kick start so in LA

at et well I'm sure you've all seen this by now ate very well then we came over here and we've been in quite a bit of free don't we we try biscuits which is like a southern unbelievable unbelievable

they're like a southern I would say a scound I call them a scone I don't even know it's more like a layered Very cool as them a scorn Like layered potato scone

Versus a cakey scone To me Yeah It wasn't bread like at all It was flaky More potatoey flaky Filo pastry layered Yeah

Rather than like a cakey scone Agree But it did come with Sausage gravy which was unbelievable dip it into that. Mind-blum. Then there was just like a berry jam. An apple one?

Apple butter. That was good. And then what was the good one? Like a spicy mango. I think like a hot honey. Like consistency of honey. But it was like a mango thick, sticky, jammy with a spice. Unbelievable.

They should call it something. But yeah, we try biscuits and we love them. We've had waffles. And guys, I'm so disappointed to say that I tried the Nashville hot fried chicken. We gave ourselves a chicken ick. It was vile. It was hotly bees. It was the worst fried chicken I've ever eaten in my life.

And I don't know why. We're going to post the... I've recorded my reaction on it, right? And it's quite something. Please explain why. I know, right. I struggle to explain the thing I don't like about. chicken and it's hard to explain right see when you bite into chicken it shouldn't just cut do you

get what I mean by that like see like you would bite into what's something hard like an apple saying it was like your teeth do like a clean cut yeah chicken I don't think should be a texture that you can get a clean cut with a bite it should be like flaky shredded uh-huh like do you know what I mean Like it shouldn't feel that you can get... Oh, even talking about it's making me want to vomit. And that's what that, when chicken doesn't feel cooked for me, it's that rubbery, you can get a clean cut out of it, and it shouldn't be like that.

For me, it was how I would imagine eating a raw chicken. It was that... I think what people love about Nashville chicken, from what I'm gathering, gathering, it's a lot of chicken. So you got a little fucking chunky, meaty piece of chicken. fried which isn't that crispy it's not like Kentucky fried batter it's an it's a bit more greasy but the grease felt like to me it has seeped all the way through to its core

so when you chewed into it it was just like a juicy wet like vom rom rom rom and you know you get that stringy bit when you eat a chicken fillet so we've given ourselves the chicken ick's a thing that's a thing we've given ourselves the chicken ick maybe that can be the title of today's episode. The chicken egg. Anyway, what else you've been up to? And how was your flight? Yeah, good, to be fair.

The flights were actually not bad. You need to tell the listeners your vegan situation. Your seating palava. So, me and Heather got the flight from Edinburgh to London and then we met Molly in London. So it wouldn't let us check in

for whatever reason the day before, so we just had to do that at the airport. That then obviously meant that none of us were sitting together on either flight because we were obviously late checking in as well so me and Heather were not together at all even on the first one so anyway we were basically saying like we can't go a nine-hour flight not sitting next to each other and it wasn't a night flight either so you didn't really want to sleep and I think it's all right being that way when it's your way home from holiday but on the

way there you want to be excited together I know and I like as I've discussed I'm like that courseful week flyer thing which actually I felt totally fine being here being on the plane everything I think I was just buzzing enough to, like, not care. But I'm like, it wouldn't help me if I was, like, in the middle of randoms. Yeah. Like, no. And then what if they were, like, smelly or, like, got, like, cheese and onion crisps out or something? And you know, I'm like, my app, get my wipes out and all that.

Like, Ami does all wipe. Anyway, we've been there before. So we got on the flight, and me and Heather were, like, both the middle seat, but three rows apart. On the same, like, number, if you like, we're both. like seat B, so we're at the same side. Molly was then the middle of the middle four. So we were then also thinking like none of our seats are really appealing. Yeah, to try and ask to swap, yep. But it turned out that hers was, you know, the first row behind the wall. So you've got extra leg room. Oh, nice. And the TV comes like up and over rather than

obviously in front. So like maybe that's appealing. Anyway, we get on and it was the row I was meant to be in and straight away there was a guy in the window seat and Heather just said, do you mind swathing so I can sit next to my friend and he was like yeah no bother so that was us together we're like maybe this will be easier obviously I didn't ask because I'm too scared and then the woman who was in the aisle seat was like no I need an aisle seat I was like we're fucked like this it was too good to be true but then what I said to Molly was if you asked the guy in the aisle next to you if he wouldn't mind swapping and then when he says yeah he can say what's not actually for me it's for that woman over there

which happened in any luxuration and we think maybe he I mean he wasn't like a young attracted man in him but he was like not much older probably I think we thought he was then like getting him next to this girl yes obviously that didn't happen so then we moved that

woman over to the aisle in the middle so we were playing bloody musical chairs with airplane but Molly is a vegan which I think we might have mentioned so she obviously had a vegan meal so then we had a vegan meal so then we had to say to the a hostess, like, oh by the way, I've moved, I've got a vegan meal

just in case there's any hoo-ha, but that turns out the other woman who we swapped was also a vegan. So it was like, the vegans unite. And apparently she looked like a classic vegan, didn't she? No, she did. She was up doing stretches in the flight, by the way. But not just like a wee, I'm stretching my legs, it was like a, she was doing squats. See, because she had that extra space. She was like, it was after she was performing. she was doing squats and then she had her arms up against the wall and was like pure leaning and you know when like you're trying like reach as high as you can and all that it was that much anyway it was fine Monday what did you even do I forget

Monday we went to East Nashville which was a rookie mistake because a lot of things are shut on a Monday here yeah look that down guys we ended up in a weed bar to start with yeah we were like just for a quick drink but then we did find out I was huddling is weed safe in pregnancy I'm tempted but we're like it's all natural so probably it didn't happen guys just FYI

and then we went to a place for tacos which was really good yeah that was really good it was called pie town tacos in East Nashville and we were meant to go east tonight which is lots of lots of locals

have recommended that to us quite cool edgy vibes more of a let's think like a Glasgow East End Southside maybe vibe like when the locals go yeah so we go in there tomorrow

because these two well not these two but us and some of the girls got in very late last night and tore the ass out of um Broadway which was so much fucking fun but it was so quiet yesterday so I think we should save ourselves for Thursday Friday Saturday yeah I'm actually got quite a bit of energy in me to be fair so I'm excited for this weekend but I think it's just it's a mix of not a good sleep when you've been drinking obviously jet lag we're out and about wandering all day so everything's just that exhausting

so we just need to chill tonight yeah I've got to take it easy but I've actually expanded how fucking big of my now is that compared to what I was a few weeks ago

I think the neat comment we made previously might not be long lasting I hope so no kidding on I actually do think that woman in Sfora does say like from the back

you wouldn't know my mum actually messaged me yesterday actually in that video we posted my mum was like where's my grandchild I was like

when I sent her selfie back like she was like whoa yeah it's from the front we're still neat as well it's just from the side but it's a nice bump you've got starting to get lower back pains now but I'm not letting

quite a lot of walking around though I'm not letting anything stop me though like I've gone on a fucking 10 hour flight I went kayaking I went like a little mini hike I want to say a hike it was like a trail walk I'm not do you know what I'll be honest with you I keep forgetting I keep forgetting that I'm pregnant

and then all of a sudden I think fucking how I feel exhausted head. Yeah, like Donan. And then I'm like, and I touch my stomach and it's rock solid. Do a big fart and I'm fine.

And I'm like, oh, Reminder. Oh, yeah, there's a baby in there. Oh, yeah. But no, I do feel like I'm actually looking in an okay shape. It's just... Absolutely.

It might... Do you know what they say that some people get quite big soon and then they remain the size? Yeah. And then there's other people that you can't tell at all until certain weeks and then it's like boom just pop so i just can't imagine me going massive massive

out there you can only go so far yeah you can't like too far's like detached and some of the girls in the patreon chat was sending me all different recommendations for like things to rub on my stomach and stuff and thank you so much to everyone that sent me stuff in as well but i bought the whole mamma meo collection from look fantastic it was like six pounds three pounds i bought the nipple spritz cream the body butter i've not got it with me i ordered it from look fantastic and it's at home as we speak I got some bio oil out here so I've been smothering my body in that I bought that BB hug me pillow and did you hear Richard on face-time to me this morning what was I saying it was good said he's had the three best nights sleeps ever had in his life

well a bit 150 fucking pound that cost me and he said he's actually been lying on it as a pillow and Owen's on the other side of it I was like great that's fantastic managers so he's been lying on it like a pillow and he said it's the he's not even woke up for the cats to feed him Right, that is. So I said, do you need to have it length, for he's rich. And, yes, I'm looking forward to going home to that because my nights are becoming a little bit restless. But apart from that...

When you're not in your own bed, though, it's hard as well. Like, I do think you don't ever get amazing sleeps when you're away. Yeah, very true. So you've probably got a mix of both, which hasn't helped. Yeah. And maybe you'll feel a bit more relaxed and relieved. When I get home, yeah. So that's the pregnancy update, but I'm alive and kicking and thriving, baby.

Being good. We had a really nice dinner last night. Rolf and daughters? Correct. I keep forgetting. But it was really good. That's the best food we've had. So far. The brunch of buttermilk ranch was really good with the biscuits.

Yeah, that was good, but the problem was, we thought we were going to wait half an hour for a table. We were starving, so we thought we'll get some pastries. So we got a pistachio one, duh. And... Almond croissant, duh. And what was the other one? What was the other one?

An orange. Like an orange blossom sort of thing, yeah. That came home with us in the box. But then as soon as we received said pastries, our table was ready. So we had a wee bite at them to keep us going. Then we got the biscuits and then we all got a meal, so we were a bit. Bit stuff. I feel like I didn't fully enjoy my actual dish because I was already a bit done in.

I think our eyes have been massively bigger than our belly on this trip. Maybe not mine, but everyone else is. I don't think that ever changes. No. But you just, we like to. to try bits. Yeah. You have to try.

When you're in a new country, you've got to try everyone's dishes. Especially if you're going to like highly recommended places. Well, we're staying in this Airbnb, which is in a place called, well, it's not far from a place called Germantown. So if you are coming to Nashville, it's a really nice area of so many restaurants. I've pin loads on my map that I will share eventually. So there's different cool areas like South Nashville. You've got Broadway.

You've got Printers Alley, which we'd look down on Monday, but it was a lot on Monday, but it was bit dead at the time, wasn't it? We've also went down to where Centineo Park is, where any Swifty's listening, I'm sure there's many, that's where her bench is and the tree that she sings about the Willow tree or something. Fuck knows, we've got a Swifty with us and she's telling us all. Sounds cool. Yay.

And she... We also went to the... Says me who was saying a love story and the pop thorn night. Word for word. We went to the country museum. Yeah, quite interesting. And it appears at Swifty putting a lot of money to that place because there was an awful lot of memorabilia there of hers.

And Haley was surviving. So if you are a big Taylor Swift fan, you're going to love it here. You're going to love it here, y'all. It's so good. It's so good. What else? Oh, also, we're going to have to try and whisper slightly because I think we're a wigging,

but it's our friend Heather's 30th birthday on Friday. On Friday. And we've bought a hot. like a honky tonk bus tour down Broadway where they're playing like all those lab music as like a bar on it we didn't get it private because that was so expensive but also there's not enough of us to have it private because you want it like and also we like we like dealing with other people so absolutely well depends who they are but yeah you're really great at that we might write that um so we've got that on friday at 6.30 two hour tour honky tonk and then we get on

and then we'll go around Nashville. Before that we've booked a really nice restaurant at 4pm, like a late lunch, again on Broadway. Cannot remember what it's called, but it's booked. So that's what we're doing. And then Saturday, we've booked tickets for the grand old opera. I don't need to whisper anymore. We've booked tickets for the grand old Opry,

which, again, if you're a country music lover or you know anything about it, it's like an iconic music venue here. Yeah. Massive. 4,000 seats I think It's kind of where country Not started but became bigger It's kind of like

If you perform in the hydro and you're Feglesge You'd be like I've made it Yeah but when you say it's a bit more like something more iconic Like the grass market Or What's another really iconic music venue What's the one where it's? Barrowlands

Yeah the Barrowlands I'd say it's something a bit like that Where It's got a bit of history about it Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're doing that on Saturday. Basically, we were going to go tomorrow night because Shania Twain is hosting

the People's Country Music Choice Awards. But the tickets was extortionate. We felt like we could only get seated at the top of the auditorium and we felt like it was giving BAFTAs. For me, it was more, I know there's going to be so many good stars there. But who's performing?

You don't know who's actually going to physically perform. and the only people that I really know are like the typical country like Luke Holmes Chris Stapleton, yeah or like Dolly P and I think in between performances like would that be of interest us I'm sure like speeches of people that most likely

let's say 8% we don't know who they are probably and then like the actual physical award given we just weren't sure that it's going to be enjoyable yeah I thought there's two different types of country here as well you've got the sort of pop country and the more mainstream country Yeah. And then that Robert Weston's well-roomed last night was more like they had a piano, a violin. Can they get me all about, like yordland?

Yeah, it was folk music is how originally it started. So I think it's giving two different bars. You're really into country because that was a lot of older people there as well. Yeah. We were the younger people and then. You go to somewhere like Jason Aldeens, which is like a rooftop bar here, which turned into a sort of club. Lil John started playing I was in my fucking element at this point I'm sick of country I've only been in here two days

and I was loving it but it was more like a student mix and then it would burst into Taylor Swift and then it would burst back into like yeah yeah when you get our band there at one point you were thriving at that point

so I just think it's got a bit of everything for everyone here depending on your sort of crowd because there's a lot of staggedoos and there's a lot of bachelorette parodies yeah we also went to Polly Parton's bar. White limousine. But annoyingly, it's actually really stormy here this week, which the waitress said last night, it's like the worst week we had in a while. So that was

really good. So the outdoor bit was shut, which is shame, because it's got like a pull on it and it's got like a big, like her head. Yeah. Like massive, like statue thing. That's right. But it was nice to be wonder about. It's a cool wee bar. Another thing we definitely recommend if you come to Nashville is get a car it's been a life saver yeah I understand it's different if you're all drinking wanting to drink because we're not necessarily saving money at all because you're paying for the parking yeah and the car was cheap but you're then willing to fuel it blah blah blah but the convenience of getting from a to be and all the short little journeys it's been brilliant I think if you were only going to drink like when you're out at night then it would still

definitely be worth it because you would then only probably be getting one taxi there and back at night, wouldn't you? Yeah. During the day, like, we're in and out that car, like, to different shops, different bars or different, like, museums or rooftops, whatever, just places that you want to see. Yeah. It's not necessarily sitting, like, booze and booze and booze and all day. And I'm finding it really easy to drive here as well. It's really nice. All the cars are automatic, I think they have been for years in America. Driving on the other side of the road is not an issue. There's also a lot of cars around you, so you are just, following what someone's doing. That's it, yeah. So it's easy to just be like, oh, so that's

the line I'm meant to be in. I always remember, this is my biggest tip, is I always remember that wherever I am sat in the car, my body needs to be in the middle of the road where the line splits the road. As long as if my body is sat next to that, I'm on the right side of road. And there's a lot of parking here as well. I keep saying that because everywhere you look, there's a P sign, like there is. And there's on street parking, which you wouldn't expect. Yeah. But even down Broadway so you could literally park on the street next to it basically but guys it's expensive just America and general I found LA the same do you know what it is it's the it's the tipping it's the tap they don't add tax until you pay I don't know if that's necessarily

in restaurants or yes it is they add the tax after don't they and then they've got the suggested tip which minimum is like 18% and when when there's like six of you and it's like $100 per head, which is probably like, what, 80 quid? That's like another fucking $120 on top, and you're like, Jesus Christ. And the homelessness, it was so bad on the West Coast. I've never, ever in my entire life, seen anything as heartbreaking and as tragic as Skid Row. We went down there when we were downtown L.A.

And we drove down there, and I genuinely was gasping, like, this cannot be real life. And then we've come here to Nashville. It's nowhere near as bad, but... You do see still quite a lot of people, though, don't you? Me and Heather walked back to the car last night, and you know the... when you've got an underground rail system, and you know the sort of fans, like the grid

that are on the floor, and it's had the air coming up. There was just guys just lying on each one of them because they wanted to be cool, and I just thought... No, I can't get over that. I'm fucking paying $30 for a drink around the corner, and you're homeless. How? How is the system that fucked? Why are we still in 20204 and, like, people are still home?

almost it's tragic anyway America's just fucked in general but apart from that it's really great we're having a great same the bar that we really enjoyed the first day we went which I think has better during the days Morgan Wallins bar yeah that's cool there okay but dead last night wasn't it but then again the whole thing the whole thing was dead last night so maybe we need to get it as no shot yeah we'll go and I think they'll remove all the tables at the weekend so that's a dance floor agree but it's just cool how like when you walk in the bars there and then the stage is obviously straight ahead but then it's got like a you know when the upstairs doesn't have a middle so you're still looking down

like over the balcony at the stage i just quite like that kind of vibe by atmosphere so that's our national trip so far i'm sure we'll update you on more next week um of what we've done and if those things that we're saying that we're doing we're good and if they happened things can change because the weather is absolutely diabolical guys anyway should we show you a couple of Sothor goodies

or you want to pick one each right and then we'll go into our dilemma our dilemma let me think about a good one wait no I need to do too unfortunately sorry about that also I've been living off

Humantra hydration tablets and the liquid IV hydration tablets because you get them out here and they're so fucking good guys. We've been really hydrated on this trip. We've had gallons of water in the fridge. We've been sticking those things in our drinks. Never pissed so much.

My way has never been so crystal clear I could drink it. And also, we've been drinking as an alcoholic beverage. Not obviously all day. Oh, yeah. But, you know, when you've had your few cocktails or beers or whatever and you move on in the spirits, we've been drinking these things called, is it like neutral? It's not spelled at that, but it's like N, I think it's not.

N you. T-R-L. It's like an American's version of a... Whiteclaw. They're called seltzers. Seltzes, yeah. Yeah, so it's like, there's a pineapple flavour. We've had watermelon as well. You can get like strawberry and all that, I think. But it's basically the alcohol, I think it's vodka. Then you've got the flavour and you've got a sparkling water.

So I actually don't think they're that bad in terms of then getting a hangover. Yeah, because it's been a lot of soda, isn't it? Yeah, and as much as we have drank, I know we've felt. Me is meaning the girls, by the way, not me, not us too. As much as you of us have drank those two nights, you would be really hung over with that, but I think that's been the same grace as those drinks. Because it's keeping you hydrated. Yeah, I think so.

Anyway, don't speak too soon, right? So first product, you're not really going to be able to say this, so apologies, but it's the lineage, let glowy bam, which I do like the one in the pot, the sleeping mask, but I like the purple one of that there's a jelly bean or something like that great um I just like how it's easier to squeeze out the tube when you're out and about but this is the candy cane one for Christmas I'm assuming so it's like really minty and it's like minty the pot was very satisfying it was like red and white swelled stripe as it's nice I mean the actual yeah stuff does it come out striped as well no just like

clear white but it's minty I like that so I think thought I'll get one of them. So you watch on YouTube if you're listening, apologies for the rustling. It's the bag of goodies. And then I got the house labs by Lady Gaga Foundation. And I'm excited to try that because you know something? We then realized in the next shop,

I got that Mac Foundation months ago and I've never seen that since. Gone with this? I forgot that was ever in my ownership. Oh, my. I just do like true match and it just does the job. Yeah. And do you know what else makes me not wear as much foundation? Because I'm not, I don't wear a foundation kind of girl.

Like, I'm just fucking wearing it. But the Vieve concealer is quite foundationy. Yeah, it's quite thick. Like I kind of put that enough that it actually gives me like a certain coating of a coverage on top of flaws filter. Anyway, I'm excited to try this and what shade do you get? 190 light cool. And fun fact, I got someone to come and help me. pick a shade but before I did so I tried to do it myself and I thought no I should really get

this done because you had this before it was a wrong shade and I picked the exact right one love it that's a talent for you right there we bought some masks for the girlies just to say thanks to them this is a really shit thank you present for getting them to come on the pot but we bought the doctor jar um what are they called sheet masks sheet masks these are very extra but um they weren't the bad price actually I have no idea how much they were Well, they're around between $8 to $16 depending on which one you got. I'm just going to let everyone know we will not tell you how much this bag costs. Like that looks like, that's not like a pure large bag, right?

But when I tell you... No, but Zoe, it's not a lot when it's two of us. We spent just under £200 each. We did. Once it's £7, right, okay, fair. That's not a lot of money. It was more when it says... Well, it is a lot of money, but it's not a lot of money when you've gone into Sephora

and you need literally everything. No, but see, to be fair, not when you've got like a foundation, a lip product, we've both got, like, foundation. A good few things, some skincare, that masks, like clean masks. I mean, that would have cost, that's going to cost us about $60. True, very true. I think it's more than you see on the till $600.

Yeah, I was right. But then that was because they added the tax on top of it. And I was like, oh my God. The price you see is not the price. No. The price was right. Anyway, that is an extortionate amount of money, and we were very aware of that.

So we got, so I bought a brand new bottle of the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray, full size as well. Molly asked to borrow it on this trip and I was like, yeah, no worries, cannot fucking find it for love and non-money. So I think I've left it in LA. But if you were on Patreon a few weeks ago, you would have heard me say that I want to try the new OS. Which I think is Patrick Starr's brand. It's the matifying waterproof setting spray, which is all over tiki-tocky. So I've got the mini size because of... Got to try it first.

Yeah, well, I love it. And I don't know if I love matifying things. I always normally like glowy. But we're trying to do that down a little bit. I've tried to de-go for the podcast. Yeah. And then I'll also show you that I got a foundation as well. But I went for Patrick Tar.

When I was in New York back in last May, I bought the Patrick Tar compact. Oh, yeah. Do you remember? Yeah. And it was like skin. but the shade is actually wrong for me I feel like my skin tone's really changing at the moment but he's brought out a new foundation

that's called Major Skin Hydra Lux luminous skin perfecting foundation and breathe that's a bottle as well by the way yeah if you're looking on YouTube look at that and she matched me so I'm going to try that because I ran out of my luminous silk which is the Holy Grail and I don't use Flores Fill too much anymore

and Molly got me onto true match which I do like but I don't think it lasts very long on me without a setting spray. Yeah. So that is that. And the rest will save for over on Patreon. 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. have a solution that will make everything feel easier. Just let our sponsors

Watermans handle it all. Will they pack my boxes too? Not quite Lizzie. But they'll definitely take care of everything else. Perfect. Do you know what we forgot to mention, by the way, yesterday, what was that area we went to?

12th Avenue. Wow, that's amazing. So we went to have breakfast and that Butter Ranch. Butter Ranch. Butter milk. Buttermilk branch, yeah.

Yeah. And then there was nice shops around there. We went for a wander. And we went into it, it was just like, you know, bits and bobs and that, just jewelry and all that. And you just got like carried the way I'm. What is my jewelry like? Insane. There's a table in one of the bedrooms, you know, a round dining table that can actually fit four people around and it's covered jewelry.

I just like bits and bobs. Anyway, these rings I got. Madewell? What? Didn't you get them from Madewell? I have no idea. I think I saw you going in that store. that store.

I haven't... When you went off on your own and you came back and we were in Book Mason and you came back and you were like we thought you bought a bangle but you hadn't

it was these wee rings it's just a wee band with some perils on and like a second band it was a wee pack and then I got just these wee gold hoops which I actually think

really nice okay so that was from a store called Made Well and it's an amazing shop here in America I didn't have like just wee you know like day to day

gold hoops with me and I actually don't really have a good pair of them they're either too big or like tiny wee ones yeah I didn't really have a good middle or they've got so

him on them. Yeah, I just wanted playing. Anyway, and then we went into a fragrance shop. We nearly fucking walked past it. It was called Ranger Ranger.

Ranger fragrances. Ranger something, but it's a local to make my bag in here, but I can't see. It's a local Nashville sort of fragrance house. We told them that they need

to come to the UK because it was so fucking good. And all the upcoming country stars or even like legendary country stars, they've done like a collaboration with them and their bottles were like in the window

and then their main collection candles, diffusers and perfumes were so good the sandal was amazing. It smelled very similar to La Labre Santile 33 but it was more vanillae and you and Molly basically we were enticed into the store by a scent we walked past and completely missed it

and we love that shit and then we were like what the fuck is that smell and then we realised it was a fragrance store and we walked in we were like whatever that is We want it. We need... But it was a pine candle. And it's so cute because the candle's in a glass, like...

Jar? As they always are. And it's got a wee cowboy hat on it. Like a little illustration. Yeah, like an outline. The tattoo. Yeah. We should get that.

Yes. And then you can get it like at home later. Or we'll come back. But then what they say to do is when you're finished with it, use it as a whiskey glass. So they had like a glass next to it with some fake house cubes in. And the cutest box of matches. you got with it as well with like a little illustration on it you get them like included in the box that attached to the box nice gorgeous little details we love it and where's your hoodie

phone because we've been we've had a few requests that you listeners need to know where our clothes are from and I mean I'm in my pajamas right now where's your hoodie from this is actually um Zara it's like a foamy cotton it's a good it's good quality I got it with the match and joggies but they um were too tight on the ass the thighs yeah um and I want them loose so I'm going to to turn them but I thought I'll keep this because it's actually quite a good size this is a large large and in charge make it a large um so yeah that is zara and then I've just got I kept my black trousers on from today which are just linen from h-num gojeanah this is from ASS it's really soft actually but it's like a double zippy so I thought it'd be quite comfy because you know everything's

getting a little bit tight up so I thought I can just undip it and yeah and then I've got these really comfy you complimented these this morning but the um Just some lounge you wear, very thin. I think they are pyjamas, but they're from H&M anyway. And these glasses are my friend Heather's. There's exact same prescription of mine from Iola. I'm pretty certain they are Iola. You get someone else's glasses on me?

Yeah, I put mine in the bathroom, tried hairs on. I was like, ooh, I actually like these if it my face better. So I'll wear them. You put the same prescription? Yeah. Did you know that before now? No. I looked at it.

I was like, oh my God. In fact, I think I can see better in this. Then my own. Anywho, right, so let's quickly talk about a little dilemma that we had this week and then we can carry them on into Friday's episode because we've had a few and we've had one to do with a best friend's boyfriend, we've had one to do with a toxic marriage, a wedding dilemma and dilemma with moving in with their partner, we've also got the pregnancy dilemma. We were actually in the country museum yesterday And when we put the question box up We love it when you guys send us our responses But this one came as a full DM

And we thought we'll save this for the main Because it's fucking good And we need to know what you would do it And also, we cannot believe how many of you responded To us about being a backdoor family No, I know, but we've got loads And loads of responses The main sort of reason behind it is parking

Is it? It's where like... Or dogs? Yeah, it's where You know how a lot of kind of house in the States have like a bay in a few houses used like the one bay? Right. I think it's like where that's positioned. Okay, get it.

If the driveways, like, you know, down the side that the back door's on the side, you would just go. Because Haley was a backdoor person and her, you parked around the back to get to her house in a shared bit. You're not going to walk by, I don't want to walk to a front door like CBA. Oh my God, my hips are really hurting me. Right. Let's go. So here we go. So my friend has recently split with her boyfriend of seven years. She came over to stay with me a week after they split.

We went to a gig where she met some of my boy mates and fell in love with one of them. It's been a few weeks now and they've spent every weekend together and she's constantly saying how much she likes him. But boy has got issues. Oh no. Issues in capital letters. No, no, no. He's one of those lads you have a good night out with but would never have gaining capitals. be boyfriend material he gets recklessly drunk massively massively into drugs terrible with money

etc etc the list goes on all my girlmates agree and i can't believe i'm letting a friend date him knowing it's going to end in tears i don't want to ruin their fun she's just come out of a long relationship and deserves a bit of fun but he's just not the one help me please so i then replied to her and was like, okay, we need to discuss. And then she just said, thank you. And to add, he also got mugged last week, in brackets, drug related, and is currently recovering from jaw surgery, and she still wants to fucking marry him.

What the hell would you do in this situation? Because you would want your friend to have a bit of fun. No, I know. But these type of people are fuck boys, and they are, like, I don't know how old this girl is, but. it's all about the chase and the excitement especially to come out of a long-term relationship oh absolutely 100% what i was going to say was before the second like before her responds to her question about the mug and drug situation i was going to say like you just kind

need to let them ride it out yeah because people do need to make their own mistakes like i think you can show your concern and say look i don't think he's the one for you the party's never going to stop he's in with the wrong people he's not nice when he's drunk or whatever the issue is but it's kind of then up to your pal

but the mug jogging situation that's like a huge dangerous yeah yeah so it's different I feel that you can't just let them go

with the floor with that one but equally let's play devil's advocate him and let's pretend that this guy is just lost he's a lost soul

he's got him with the one crowd and when you meet someone that that helps you and brings you out of that fucking hard picked of hell that you've got yourself into

she might be like you know what yeah you are shit and you're troubled but not necessarily you need someone like me but sometimes you do need somebody that can help you see the light in certain situations and she might like him that much that he doesn't want to do that life anymore

you're like you know what yeah so we can't always just be like well fucking run for the hills because he'll never meet anyone in his life if every woman had that outlook on him but equally you've got to tread care I know. I know. I've had friends in this situation and I do think, and I don't want the stereotype here, right, but I do think a lot of single guys are on, like, that wrong

path when they're single because what's keeping them not? True. Like the only thing, like, girls, like, go to their pals for a couple or, like, go out shopping or go for a spadi or whatever. Not many guys do that. Most of their socialising is at the pub. Yeah. So see if you've not got, like... Oh, on their own? Yeah. Or see. if you've not got a partner to do things with that is a bit more wholesome or less drinking involved or just like sitting in and watch a movie or whatever I do think a lot of single guys go down

like they're just constantly partying because what else is that they do? Yeah no I do agree with you especially depending on their age as well yeah so I feel like a lot of them do that until they've met someone so if you were to never go by a guy because of that you're right you would never find someone and neither would they so maybe to answer this girl's dilemma then I think she's been a really good friend, obviously, having these concerns. But I would, I don't, by the sounds of things, I don't think she's voiced her opinion to her friend because she doesn't want to sort of, like, be the fun sponge

and dampen the spark that they've got at the moment with this new exciting, you know, situation she just found herself in. But I do think, let her have her fun for a couple more weeks, especially if she's said she's been spent every weekend together since, which, you know, they might be having a really fucking lovely time. So has he actually been bad or disrespectful or anything to the friend? Because if he's not, then yeah, his lifestyle, maybe he has an ideal. But if he's treating your pal, okay, what's really there?

And also, she must know that he got mugged last week. If they spent every weekend together since, that sounds like they've been seen each other for a while. He got mugged just last week, drug-related. So she must know unless your friend is getting into a situation where she's being roped into doing these things. things or maybe doing drugs or you know you're seeing a different side to your friend then I'd be like wait a minute he's not good for you he's not good for you you're changing um yeah so I would definitely text them to say hey how's things going um I heard about so and so getting relate mug last week um how does that make you feel uh has things been good is he being

good to you. I just want you to be careful. I don't want you to get hurt. I know things are exciting when you get out of a relationship, but I just want you to know that I'm here for you. But equally, as your friend, I feel like it's my responsibility just to say to you as much as I like him, because he's my friend too, that I want you just to be careful. Yeah. Don't you agree? You do just like, I think unless there is major, major red flags like the drug thing, you do just kind of need to let as we're adults here

yeah exactly you do kind of need to let them make their own decisions and I do have pals at the start I was like no no no no no like he's not good like he's pissing his money up against the wall on drugs or gambling or whatever it may be like quite kind of like typical things that people

suffer from doing all the time or whatever but then as I said once they actually have just followed through with it and then they're in a serious situation like they turn it all around because their priorities are different now. Some people can really turn their life around, can't they? I've got loads of people from back in Leicester

that I knew that when I was grown up, they were an absolute, not so much a mess, but you would always think, oh God, I would never want to go out with them. Yeah. Now they're happily married and they've really changed their life around. They've turned themselves, their addiction of gambling or drugs or alcohol

into something like fitness or hiking or their family and they've started new business from something that they're passionate about and they're completely different yeah you're always going to look at them and think oh that was the guy from school or college that was a right pest but you you've got to give people a chance in life I think not everyone's going to be bad forever also see if you're still in like you're even your 20s I'm like you're still young and you're living and learning aren't you and guys typically don't really grow up unless they've got a partner yeah I mean that's very stereotypical of us but it is no I know but it is it is

is true. Just in terms of like, as I said, like the social side of life. Yeah. For guys, maybe like football, sports, involves pub, involves drinking, whatever. Like, there's less for them to do. It's just wholesome. Or there's not less to, but I don't want to do it. They just don't find it as wholesome as we do. Yeah, exactly. So, like, there's just, why would you be stopping all that unless you'd a reason to? Agree. And you don't stop your life or a partner, neither, but you know what I mean? No, it's facts. You're speaking facts. Anyway, we hope you enjoyed that episode with our Nashville on tour. Hopefully there's more in the future.

I'm sure there will be. Hopefully the sound quality is good. We'll move back to normal. We're in the studio next week. Like we've said, join us over on Patreon for a monthly special of Nashville and our episode with our lovely gorgeous friends that are about to record because we're starring Marvin

and we've got some good lots of spit or swallows to speak as well as a whole and they're going to help us with dilemmas. We love you very much. Thank you always. Thank you always for your really gorgeous kind messages over the past week. We see everything and we love you very much. Big heartless.

Do we joint heart hair? Cute, we're so genzy. We're quite close. Like, we're close in this. Usually we can only do like a touch your finger. Beep-beep. Jess is probably going to go get our feet massage now by one of other girls. Not me.

Would never, could never. But good luck to them. Guys, I had two fat, two foot massages last night. From my friends, how nice today. And Zoe said she can, you can get fucked. I'm never touching your feet. I wouldn't even want to massage my own. Fairfox.

Right. Love you. Bye.
