Yeah, we're on double record this week. We've just finished a really good Patreon episode, actually, all about wellness, health, and we got really deep, and it was so freaking good.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I love it. Murray says to us, you really relax in your Patreon episode. It's like he feels like we get our feet up, and we get cozy and a bit more. we open up a bit more don't we I feel like I get slouchier and sloucher in the seat I'm like half lying down by then I keep getting told off across my legs but I lean
Starting point is 00:01:06 forward the camera goes forward you know I'm in about it he's having to check the cameras just like to make my life more difficult no I'm going to lean back I'm going to need back because we're on the main sit however is coming up right and stuff
Starting point is 00:01:19 but yeah good posture it was a really great episode so I encourage you to listen I encourage you to listen I encourage you to listen It was so fun Please listen
Starting point is 00:01:31 Yeah So on today's episode I'm going to share with you Some places that you guys shared with me Over on Just Just Food When I asked Where can I go with my family On a day trip not too far from Glasgow
Starting point is 00:01:47 To go and paddleboard But also maybe enjoy the beach Enjoy the good weather And I think people gave me some good places Half of them I really struggled to pronounce in my English accent, and I'm not going to do any justice in your Gallic loch. No, I can't speak that either.
Starting point is 00:02:06 You know when my dad came up, actually, he said to me, like, what does Locke mean? He knows obviously what a lock is, but like, why is everything called Lock Something? And I said, well, it's Gallic for River, I'm sure. Is that right? Stand by, I'll Google. And then he mentioned about, and I said, well, it's the same as Mountain. Mountain is Ben. Everything is Ben Ann, Ben Nevis.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Yeah. Ben Lomond, and he was like, oh my God, never knew that. Yeah, Lake just means, Loch just means lake or inlet of the sea. That's right, sorry, lake, not river, yeah. Love it. You can speak Gaelic? Gallic or Gaelic? It's Gaelic. Gaelic is Irish. I think that's correct. Right. Maria's the same way are correct.
Starting point is 00:02:47 What the hell? But yeah, I bet you somebody listened to this didn't know Ben meant Mountain in your home language. I do because you've told me but if you asked me I don't know if I could tell you Do you get what I mean? Yeah Like you reminded me
Starting point is 00:03:02 Well when I used to go and visit I say used to it I visited I've done the NC 500 But I also went up north A couple of times I've been to like Sky Harris But I went north north
Starting point is 00:03:11 To like Shetland And what's the one just below Shetland Orkney Orkney I went to Orkney Years ago now And Rich has got some family there And family friends
Starting point is 00:03:24 and their accent actually is quite Scandinavian. What? Yeah. And I always say that to them. I was like, I love, I'm intrigued by the Scottish accent up there because they are so close to Iceland. And I'd imagine it's like, it comes down from like their family tree of like Vikings and history of all.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Wow. Yeah, because the accent is quite, it almost sounds foreign. But it's got some sort of twang of like a Scandinavian. vibe. I know what you mean. Yeah. I really like it. Have you ever heard the Hebrideen Baker speak?
Starting point is 00:04:01 No. On TikTok? No. The Hebrideen Beaker? Mm-mm. So it's like that. So interesting. What, and that's Scottish?
Starting point is 00:04:11 Yes. Yes. On the Hebrides. I don't know what that is. What? Zoe, what the fuck? Last episode, you've never been to Kelvin Grove and now you know what the Hebrides is. I don't take information now.
Starting point is 00:04:21 The Hibbredis are all like the little tiny islands out with mainland. Scotland. I've never been to one of them. That is embarrassing from you. And anyone listening, you're all embarrassing. You live in the most beautiful country in the entire world, FYI. Please even go... I can't even believe this is completely off topic slightly, but you've never even been to Belfast
Starting point is 00:04:39 and that's 25 minute flight. I'm not being to Ireland at all. I'm not with you. And I'm quite well-travelled, I feel. You're very well-travelled in Europe. Yeah. Right. Make it your mission. Everybody listening to this to explore more of this country.
Starting point is 00:04:54 says the girl from England that's hardly even been to the seaside. What did you say? I've got a lot on my plate already. Right, Zoe, we said every main episode we're going to add something to your list. That's that. I'm one of the Hebrides. Let's go to the Outer Hebrides. There's also the inner Hebrides.
Starting point is 00:05:11 So I think you should go to, I think you should come with me when I do one of those trips to Eila. I'm not been to any of them. Is Is Is Isle in or Outer? to Hebrides, Murray. Stambeye. He's just like a Mr. Google.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Alexa. Shetland used to own Norway. There you go. So that makes total sense. Shetland was owned by Norway. So they have that twang. We are educational.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And isn't Norway where the Vikings are? That's where I've been to Sweden or something. There's like a Viking exhibition or a big massive museum. Larves do a Viking festival every year. Really? Yeah. When I went down to Kelsso, Richard was telling me about the, a lot of small villages in Scotland. They also do this where I'm from as well, but they have like their sort of fair or what would you call it?
Starting point is 00:06:10 A community. Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah. It's called something. And it's in July, the one in Kelsso, the borders. And they already had all the bunting up around the lamp post. I think you would call it a fair. I think I would. And they said it's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Where is it then, Marie? The inner Hebrides. Inner Hebrides. So we're going in or before we go outer? Yeah. The outer Hebrides might be Sky. No, I thought, well, stand by. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I don't think, because the outer Hebrides are way up north. Yeah, oh, okay, are they? So would that be Shetland then? South Eust and, no, no, not Shetland. No. No. Just Lewis, Dornoway, Grimsy, that sort of area. And that's out of Hebrides?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Yes. So I've done that then? twice. God, I love Harris and Lewis, bloody hell. You just honestly, like, and I know I'm probably speak for a lot of people here, you just forget. We've got a lot of listeners that are from Harrison Lewis. Stornoway. That's the airport. That's the airport. Stornowice the airport. Well, it's also a place, but that's where you'd fly to. I just don't think you do it when it's on your doorstep.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Also, I wouldn't have even known anything about these places if you hadn't went. Really? Like, I honestly hear nothing about them. You know when I did Kilimanjara, I used to have. hike a lot up north as well so i did quite a lot of monrose and went and did a few bends back in my day and then when i did the n-500 in covid i started east went to west i didn't do sky that way though because you can go off and do sky on the route um but i'd already done storn away before to visit family but i surfed up north and i really like that that was i i think it was doork donok
Starting point is 00:07:48 Do knock Were you on the board We're arms out Yeah Turf in USA Surfing USA Also back to the paddle board mention
Starting point is 00:07:58 Sorry yeah We really digress there Have you got one Yeah I've got a blow up paddle board Yeah I've got one for ages It's called Um
Starting point is 00:08:06 Whoopsurf I think is the brand Can I ask Why you've got one of them Richards Because I like to paddle board Wendy Wendy do such a thing We've done it a few times up in like
Starting point is 00:08:22 the locks We went somewhere really nice A few years back actually COVID and we went and did some paddleboard in I don't think of ever paddle board in my life Is that you put around your ankle Yeah but most people
Starting point is 00:08:34 Were paddoboard on their knees But I am able to stand in paddleboard now But it's not, it's hard But it's not that difficult You'd be able to do it Yeah And it's also fun to have someone sat in front Whilst you can stand and
Starting point is 00:08:47 arrow boards really chill I don't really think I'm at one with water I think that the sea is very scary a lot it reminds me of that oh terrifying TikTok sound he ho
Starting point is 00:09:04 I do think you know what I mean don't you yeah it's a scary place very scary I'm not a strong swimmer I tell you that for nothing me neither but I swam with sharks
Starting point is 00:09:14 I did flap a bit at the start well I'm not surprised Jesus Christ but when you realise that they're not really that scary no but then when I swam with that whale though that was unbelievable yeah like I would love to experience stuff
Starting point is 00:09:28 that I'm just see if we went somewhere and there was a nice lock right and we were like will we go in yeah I wouldn't even think that you wouldn't think what unless I was going to go in I would never just be like fuck it let's go in there yeah
Starting point is 00:09:42 I don't know if I'm really into that yeah no well when I went up to loss there last week. It was Rich and my sister were jumping in and it was freezing mind you but a lot of people were jumping in I was like not for me no
Starting point is 00:09:55 they said they felt amazing afterwards No I don't think I could do that either cool Anyway Anyway you're going to tell us some good places we can go if you're based up here round about Glasgow area
Starting point is 00:10:07 And I feel like this might just sound like a big hefty list but we're going to put them in the newsletter So by the way Everything on this list has been mentioned more than once because there was a lot. Love it.
Starting point is 00:10:18 It means they're popular. So the first one is Lus. Yeah. I'd say that was about 45 minutes away from Glasgow. Mm-hmm. Lockard, which is Aberfoyle. Mm-hmm. Seamill Beach.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Quite a few of people said that. Do you know where that is? I've been to Seymel Hydro. Jason's sister got married there. It mustn't be far from there then. Yeah, so I would guess 40, 50 minutes. And Port and Cross. then we've got
Starting point is 00:10:45 Lunderson Bay this was said a lot and then you could go to Inverkip Marina afterwards have a nice walk to Inverkip Marina Trune Now Trune is so busy and a few people have said to me
Starting point is 00:10:59 that it can get a bit rowdy Yeah I think it's quite similar to air That I think Very local to Yeah Maybe a wee bit too local But Murray was telling us that No it was Alan that was telling us
Starting point is 00:11:12 that most of the locals though that maybe want to avoid a bit of the chaos go to Barisie Beach and maybe check that out and you went to some nice places to eat afterwards you said it was okay didn't you in Trune yeah it was okay I don't think
Starting point is 00:11:28 I think you're better just getting a chippy sitting on the beach yeah because there's some really nice chippy seasides in there these side chippies I think that's better I went to a really nice one where was that one that I said that was really popular it was not far from Ely Beach Ely is another one that's said a lot
Starting point is 00:11:43 and then you can go to the ship in afterwards for some drinks there's a really famous chip shop that's not far from there but then there's one called the wee chippy that is also rivals that that's maybe not as touristy
Starting point is 00:11:55 that you can go to Balmaha Beach Loch Goylehead this one came up a lot Lub how was it Lubnag
Starting point is 00:12:07 Lubnog or L-U-B-N-A-G Lubney Yeah, Lubnague. An hour and three minutes from Glasgow. Where is it? Is it in Locke Lomond? No, it's New Calendar and the Stirling Council area. Okay, so that's Locke Lomond then, isn't it, calendar?
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah, it's up that way. Yeah. Yeah, it's part of the Lottlomond and the Troz. Yeah, yeah. Tosix National Park. Probably quite a few of these will be in L'Cloan way, I'm guessing, because Lottloman from Glasgow is, what, 45 minutes? Well, calendar is anyway, and calendar is where you can climb like Ben-Anne
Starting point is 00:12:40 Ben Lomid is the closest Monroe to Glasgow that you could go. I think it's like 950 metres so it's just over the cusp of classing as a Monroe. Then you've got Locke Tay. We stayed there before. I've stayed there a couple times
Starting point is 00:12:56 and then you could also go and visit Taymouth Marina, which is there where you've got the slide into the lock and it's a sort of like well you can stay there which is a really good place by the way because lots of people ask is where can we go for like Hindus, a group of us.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Definitely have a look at Taymouth Marina. And when we went, it was just opening, kind of. It wasn't, like, the spa bit wasn't really there as much. The slide was. And the sauna was, but I don't think, like, the pool and stuff was open. There was a big massive trampoline in the lock, wasn't that? Yeah, we didn't have that then. Remember we drove Loch Ness?
Starting point is 00:13:27 What was that called? Pedalo. Pedalo. Oh, see, I do get in the locks. Yeah, she do. I get up my talk about. Maiden's Beach, oh, I went there last, a year before last in September. great time for like nice sunsets oh i remember you going then actually i knew i recognise it was beautiful
Starting point is 00:13:45 really really nice beach to go to guys um largs you said well largs is a place i tried to go on the viking festival was on so it was cured the way back so i've not actually been well i might have been in my life i'm sure i have been but not my adult life but i think largs is nice yeah dunkeld for the day not a beach but where i went and i spoke about a couple episodes ago that's a really nice place that was an hour max drive from Glasgow some really nice
Starting point is 00:14:13 places you can go and chill in the beer garden there um Arbador Beach and oh you've already said Barassie Beach
Starting point is 00:14:22 Aberdour or do you want to stick with Aberdore Give it a bash again Don't try I'm put to these Abadawa A-V-E-R-D-O-U-R yeah
Starting point is 00:14:32 like sour Abadawa Beach I saw like Abadabadoo Where's Abadabatabatoo? Where's Abadabat Our beach. Oh, no idea.
Starting point is 00:14:41 The names are challenging. Yes, very. Now, in Loch Lomond, you've got Rauward Denon and Milorocki Bay. They sound nice. Honestly, I'll be looking at our own newsletter for this. I know, by the same. Because it's so handy to have this list if you're ever thinking, where the fuck can I go? As soon as the sun comes out, you think, what can I do in my day and you end up in Trun?
Starting point is 00:15:03 Or Lott Lohman every time. My biggest tip for everyone listening to this is what I do. even if it's a different city make yourself a Google map of Scotland and everything that I'm saying or anywhere you recommend or see people on Instagram pin it so when you are having a day
Starting point is 00:15:16 where you're thinking where the foot can I go open your Google map open your Scotland map and there you can see where the closest to you is and see what's closest to it in terms of like restaurants chip shops so me and Zoe years ago
Starting point is 00:15:27 maybe like three years ago I worked with Fife to do the Five Coastal Path I worked with Fife I worked with Fife Visit Scotland sorry but it was about to promote their five coastal paths.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Yeah. And one of the stops was St. Andrews, which is a really nice place to go to. You could go to the Balgove Lada, which I loved that there. I've got my nice vase. Yeah. And you've got the St. Andrews golf course.
Starting point is 00:15:49 You've got the beach there. NIP that vase. Oh, yeah, I've lost that vase, yeah. So it's approximately 170 miles long, and it starts in... Kinneedine. Fucking hell, I hate all these words. Starts in...
Starting point is 00:16:07 King Cardine. King Cardin. What? King Cardin. Can back me up here, Marie. Starts in King Cardin, King Cardine, and ends in Nubra. And it's split up intersections. But anyway, my point was that if you actually go around Fife
Starting point is 00:16:23 and you'll look on the road signs, there's like a little tiny crescent sign, or it's some sort of symbol. Yeah. And it shows you that you're on the Fife Coastal Path. And if you actually go onto the Fife Coast and Countryside Trust website, it will show you all the places that you can visit around that coastal path and then when you're in St Andrews you have to visit Fisher and Donaldson to get one of those iconic sticky donuts whatever they're called
Starting point is 00:16:48 they were good yeah so anyway ice cream as well I'm sure yes I can't remember for the life be what that's called but yes that was it that is where it is saved the day yeah I've got a reel on my Instagram about where I went to but I'm sure there's new places in that now similar vibes to that you've got north beric portobello more like edinburgh side they're really nice fun days that i love north beric i like north beric's well actually you also have croy beach which is near mabel that was allan's recommendation i think alan does want to say that there's no facilities near that but as a nice sweet sneaky
Starting point is 00:17:22 beach yes sneaky beach but no toilets boom bear that in mind think a weeishi that was called yes i used to take that one i hiked Oh Locke Akre Locke Venach Venach
Starting point is 00:17:39 Venacher Venacher I'm just going to stop This is more entertaining Loch Mollick
Starting point is 00:17:46 Gorok Gourok Gourok Oh yeah You suggested Gouruk Where we spoke about a few weeks
Starting point is 00:17:53 ago With the outdoor pool Yeah I mean I don't know about the pool That's my worst nightmare
Starting point is 00:17:57 But when I went there And I was driving up I thought Fuck you know It's gorgeous up here
Starting point is 00:18:01 Oh And last but not least, so many people said this, and this is not that far. Newton Man's, this is for paddleboarding, mind you, White Lock. Never heard of it. And I put it in my maps and it is just like a tiny little bit of water in the middle of all this green in not far from the city center. So I'm like, Slay. So if you want to go and go somewhere locally-ish, I mean Newton-Man still feels like an eternity away from me.
Starting point is 00:18:29 But, yeah, go to White Lock. Get a paddleboard it? Yeah. So there's some nice recommendations for you, Locke, we're not. There's loads. There's loads on here, but I'll share them. And what we could maybe do is when we put it on the newsletter, we could maybe, we'll section it in where it's near.
Starting point is 00:18:44 If it's like five, if it's near Glasgow, if it's in Locke-Lomond, if it's, you know. But that actually is so helpful. Because it's, and then you look at that, we don't know what it's near. Yeah. I get bored and then I'm over it. But I do really recommend you pin some stuff. I've started pinning some really nice cabins, actually. if I've seen them on Instagram
Starting point is 00:19:04 I've pinned a few places that you would never even Can I tell you right now I've never looked at a Google map? What? What do you mean you've never looked at a Google map? I'll use Apple Maps. Oh, apologies, okay. I'm sure that does the same thing.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I'm sure there's a function. I've never done this function that we always chat about. So look at my map there. I don't feel as you see that on YouTube. I've also... All those blue dots. You see?
Starting point is 00:19:30 and I zoom out oh my god there's literally loads and what I do I've also got an English countryside map now so if I see any really nice hotels that are down like the Cotswolds or Corn or whatever I'll pin them
Starting point is 00:19:43 because if people want to recommend them to meet off I think oh you know what I really want to go on a nice staycation where can I go and then what I tend to do is after a while I'll see where is two things close together for example that's why I did
Starting point is 00:19:56 skip a nut and then went across the Darlington because I thought you know what's actually not that far I can take off both so yeah I've pinned an awful lot of things around St Andrew's Ely Way
Starting point is 00:20:08 I think I like that part of Scotland on the north coast East Coast sorry East Coast and I also really like this side as well which is to the left of Loch Lomond
Starting point is 00:20:20 where Inver is have you ever heard of Inver Inverere Um Anver Eerie Inver Eerie Inver Eerie it's not not actually Invernery.
Starting point is 00:20:31 But it's called Inver, Restaurant and Rooms. So chic. Never. Also followed a new cabin plays on Instagram last week in Scotland called Cabin, but it's spelled like K-A-B-N. So, like, our vibe. Check that out as well, guys. Have you got a one more cabin without me?
Starting point is 00:20:47 I won't go to another cabin without you. The Podgast is over. We got invited to a really nice cabin from one of our Podpiggies, and they owned one. Do you remember? I sent that you weeks ago. What the hell would my school? Well, I've not been there.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I don't know. We need to check my through the chat. Anyway, what we could do if you want is we could do an episode because we do know that you guys love our travel recommendations actually one of our travel episodes from season two is still one of our most listened to episodes ever It was all like travel tips and stuff
Starting point is 00:21:11 and we appreciate like not everybody listen to this podcast is from Scotland but if this should encourage you to come and visit because it's one of the most beautiful countries in the world People travel. Exactly. But what I would suggest is why don't we do an episode on cabins and stays
Starting point is 00:21:24 because that's our most asked question in the Patreon chat but we could do like really nice cottages or cabins in Scotland and England and we can just do a roundup of like a top 10 in each country maybe or something or hidden gems. So we have to go to every single one as what I'm thinking. And then we rate it out of 10. Yeah. Everyone loves a recommendation like that, don't they?
Starting point is 00:21:47 So anyway, send them in if you've been to anywhere, cool, or sign up to Patreon and see what all of our other listeners are recommending to people that are asking because you guys know a lot more than us like it's only two of us so many of you have been to so many cool spots I know absolutely there was loads in the chat the other day there was love it
Starting point is 00:22:05 anyway I hope that was handy sign up to Patreon as a free member to get our newsletter love the newsletter it's so cool Calgary also known as the Blue Sky City we get more sunny days than anywhere in the country

Starting point is 00:22:36 turns into what's next. It's possible here in Calgary, the Blue Sky City. Learn more at calgaryeconomic development.com. On our topic of the week, when did you know you were dating an idiot? This is more like it. let's get fucking ready
Starting point is 00:22:57 when did you realize you were dating an idiot so late far too late far too late guys no what I actually said before this is I think I'm an idiot things just happened to me
Starting point is 00:23:08 and you just why has it happened yeah like why does it your life's making me look an idiot but I think day to day I'm not idiotic no what about you
Starting point is 00:23:20 very early on but I would say a few things actually when I text and say I love you and he replies saying I love you two with one oh that would annoy me it boxed me off I correct him every single time
Starting point is 00:23:40 for the past 11 years and it's still never changed that's the best thing I've ever heard Zoe says was it when your son read read his story book back to him Richard, God bless his heart, really can't read
Starting point is 00:23:57 and it is the most painful thing listening to him read Jensen a story time but I thought like, Jen's like, Dad, just give me the fucking book, May I'll hate it to you, I read it myself. Mine was also probably when I realised that SpongeBob Square Pants is what shaped Jason as a person and his personality, which if anyone's aware of anything about SpongeBob,
Starting point is 00:24:20 it's not exactly. I love SpongeBob. I love to add all the wee teddy people and all that. But to say that that's what shaped your personality, I'm not entirely sure that's what you're wanting a life. I know the thing that I hate is he seems to take a swig of busy juice and swills it in his mouth like mouthwash and then gulps it. No wonder his teeth are chipping.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I know. I said that to him. I was like, what teeth are you rotting? And another thing that I hate as well is this is more of an ick I think we're going down the ick route here By the way we're doing another episode on what we hate And what we hate
Starting point is 00:25:03 Okay this is not what I don't hate it But this is when I realise I was dating an idiot Was when the morning after The night before of our first date I made him a bacon and egg sandwich But I made him two And he only ate one And I was like
Starting point is 00:25:21 Is there shamping wrong with you? This is just not not going to work. Me and you will not be compatible here. Why are you only eating one role? When you get two in front of you? You've got two. Please. It's just a list of things you don't like.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah. What I mean is from that day on was the moment I realized, okay, I think I love this boy, but he's an idiot. Yeah, you've got idiotic treats going on here. And one more thing that I think is a really big idiotic thing that he does and which is probably just men for you in general, but you know how I've told you that he just shags his hoover,
Starting point is 00:25:54 he just fucking loves hoovering that much, right? If I'm tidy in, which for me, if I'm tidy, I'm like causing a big of shit heap. And then it's like, right, then we organise from this. That's just how I deal with it. He then decides to get the hoover out at the beginning. No. The hoovering is at the end, right?
Starting point is 00:26:10 Hooverin's the last step. But he thinks that that's his job done and the hoovering will solve all the problems. So let's hoover around the shite. It's a good time to get this out. He's an idiot. No, because the shite's making a mess as it's getting moved around the flat
Starting point is 00:26:25 and then you need to hoover again Exactly, so we Anyway, what are our listeners saying? A lot Can't wait for this Nobody likes her man I don't like men Or partner for that
Starting point is 00:26:37 For that matter Sorry, jean When he pissed the bed for the sixth time Because he was too drunk With me lying next to him Do you know what? Fucking hams Oh yeah, to be fair
Starting point is 00:26:47 Who we saw, we're pissy pants When I didn't agree to him moving in with me after two months so he fell out with me and wouldn't hang about with me for the rest of the holiday. Fine. I'm having a great time. Bye. I'm having a great time. See you. When I realized he looked like his mum. No, no, no, no, no, no. That happened to me once, right? This happened to me once, oh my goodness gracious me. It wasn't a mum thing, but I was seeing a guy that was, he was absolutely so lovely and he really, really liked me. But we were having a date and
Starting point is 00:27:21 I noticed that he looks like one of my gay friends and I could not get it out of me and I just thought that that's us done now yeah like I can't unsee that now I can't unsee it but is he saying that is she saying that he's an idiot because his mom's an idiot no I just think yeah it must be because she doesn't like the mum
Starting point is 00:27:40 when he told me cheese chips and ham were all one of his five a day sounds like Jason I'm on board with that to be honest You love a tam and cheese toasting. When he tried to cook a roast chicken from raw in the oven on a dinner plate. On a plate you'd eat your dinner off of. Someone said still am.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Same sense. It doesn't go away. Once and I didn't all. Same sis. When I loaned him money to pay off debt $8,000, but he bought the Chinese so I now owe him 30. As soon as I bought a house with him Oh
Starting point is 00:28:26 Oh my God When I got a phone call that my dad had died And he walked away from me to phone his mum To do what? To tell her the news? Probably awkward Yeah, that's giving awkward, isn't it? It's giving me Oh, sorry, hello
Starting point is 00:28:43 When he kissed his sister on the lips Right I'm not really about family's kissing, are you? Um, I was in a very kissy, cuddly household, but... On the lips, though? No, but lips are off cards for me. But do you think you would want Jensen to catch you on the lips even when he's older? I literally snug that little boy, every day.
Starting point is 00:29:14 But would you want him to, when he's older? No, I have thought about that, because I kiss him constantly, it's too much. Like, I just want to just... but I just thought when will this stop like when will it be not acceptable for me to kiss him on the lips anymore because he'll start going and then you'll stop it I think
Starting point is 00:29:29 to be honest with you he'll probably start smelling that I don't want to kiss a smelly little boy's breath but at the moment now he just smells like a baby so it's perfect yeah no I'd find that weird I think there's a certain point though isn't it where you're just like right
Starting point is 00:29:42 enough's enough found picks of girls and bikinis on his phone and he said it was inspo for his sister's birthday gift But his sister's birthday Yeah I don't know what's worse No I know Oh my God
Starting point is 00:30:00 What an idiot When he wanted me to debate Whether a ton of bricks Was heavier than a ton of feathers I really like that Because that does get a lot of people To do there People do fall for that
Starting point is 00:30:10 Yeah It's not the worst Not the worst Because that The whole point of that Is a little bit of a riddle Isn't it? Yeah
Starting point is 00:30:16 Sorry but actually Can we just like dissect that slightly. A ton of feathers, be a fuck ton of feathers. I don't think you could ever get a ton of feathers. But that is also the analogy similar to when they say muscle weighs more than fat.
Starting point is 00:30:36 No, but I don't think any amount of feathers would ever be a ton. I think that would be the size of the planet. That's what I mean, I think it's impossible. My ex wanted to walk slash go on a day trip to Barcelona. we were in Tenerife. What? So as he looked on his map and thought,
Starting point is 00:30:56 oh, Barthalona, that far. Buffalo! I was really hoping they were going to bypass that there. I just think there's maybe a lack of geography there. You know, I'm not wanting to talk myself. When he said, I've cleaned the bathroom for you, but the bleach and bathroom cleaner hadn't even left the kitchen cupboard. Turns out he'd used water and toilet roll.
Starting point is 00:31:17 There were... There were a wee flake I'm sorry I just know exactly what's coming There were wee flakes of toilet roll all over the place afterwards Also that for you It's not my pish
Starting point is 00:31:33 That splashes up the toilet See you overgrown child Oh my God Do you ever wipe the sink By a bit of toilet roll And it all breaks off in the sink It's all attached to the sink There's nothing worse than that
Starting point is 00:31:45 You know if you ever do need to get some toilet roll You want to wipe your hands or something And it's just all bitty But if you're in the toilet, there's no hand dryer. And you think, oh, you're like, why have I just done this? Horrible. I let him use my car to help him save money. And he drove past me with a girl in the passenger sheet.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Sorry. I can't cope with these people. No wonder I hate everyone Seriously What an idiot When he breathed When he breathed When he asked me how to go about
Starting point is 00:32:33 When he asked me how to go about getting an SCD test After shagging someone else While we were to get up What the fuck Grim Have you got bin, by the way, you'll be glad to know. Oh, my God. No, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Obviously, he was just thinking, you're going to ask. I have to get this sorted. I know, she'll know. Oh, my God. That's just a bloke that can't think for himself and has to get his girlfriend to everything, but then he's fucked up massively and just ask the wrong person. Oh, my goodness gracious me.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I put a washing on a timer, went to work and asked him to hang it out when it was done. got home and he goes By the way there's blue shit all over the washing when outside it was covered in the detergent I'm like Jordan was it even wet to which he replied no actually
Starting point is 00:33:28 Fanny hung up the unwashed water Oh I loved stuff like that It's fucking bone dry Oh When he cried every time He was drunk about his dead parents
Starting point is 00:33:47 he was 55 fuck's sake That's not acceptable That's so savage Oh my god Girls are horrible When he got the sack three months after our first child was born from misusing his work van Sorry What was he using it for?
Starting point is 00:34:14 Picking him up from a night out he was so drunk he was texting a girl in front of me that he'd met that night. What was you doing that situation? What, if I saw Richard texting of the bed as I picked him up on his night out? Yeah, but he was so drunk that it was just right in front of you.
Starting point is 00:34:31 No realisation, like who he was even with, who he was talking to. I probably say, oh, do you want me to... Like, what are you texting at? I know what we're dropping off. Yeah, I'd maybe just give him some tips of what to say. It's wind him up until I got home. I'd probably get off the photo. we've got a solution for everything now
Starting point is 00:34:49 just bite a bit of his dick off bite the tip off why not no more he says we'll go to prison we can't do that when he was feeling my sister's arsh by the way I reckon that happens quite a bit people being into the siblings
Starting point is 00:35:01 especially the younger sibling no listen to this my ex obviously started crying when my period started in the smallest amount leaked on the bed he started crying throwing up and saying how hard my
Starting point is 00:35:16 period was for him and couldn't even look. What do you mean? How hard your period was? What do you mean? He couldn't cope with the period that he wasn't experiencing. She was. What, he felt sorry for her or couldn't deal with the fact that there was blood on the sheet? No, I couldn't deal with it for himself. Dairy me.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Is she still with him? No. Spell specific as spasific. That sounds something like we'd do. A moment, to be fair, we can't even talk. I can't talk See when I can't spell something It really bothers me
Starting point is 00:35:51 It's like complete mind blank isn't it You're over and over thinking And it's also When we said this before When you stare at a word too much You're like that's not right But I also just And I know I've said this before
Starting point is 00:36:01 But like I'm one of those people Who's like not thick as shit But I'm not really intelligent I just like can do what you need to do In life I feel The bare minimum But see when I can't spell something I'm like you have always been able to spell
Starting point is 00:36:13 I don't have trouble with spelling So why can I not spell that anymore? Do you think it's a common thing? Does it just, do you just forget things? Sometimes it's just like, that doesn't look right, that doesn't seem right. By the way, say you just to digress a wee bit? Why can you remember songs? Word for words to songs.
Starting point is 00:36:31 For your whole life once you've always known them. But you can't remember things you should remember. Well, it's similar to when, you know, this is why I don't think I could ever live my dream and be like an actress, right? Because I hate scripted things. if I was to remember a script I couldn't do it but if I could remember a rhythm
Starting point is 00:36:49 or a beat to a song with those words I'd remember it why is that like a song will come on that I've not heard in years and years and I could tell you every word
Starting point is 00:36:59 but I could say it in a different way from the rhythm as well I think do you know what I mean yeah but you could say a chorus of a song to me and I would be able to sing it
Starting point is 00:37:11 like that if I knew it obviously but you need to learn something or you need to remember to do something or remember to spell a fucking word you use everything you can't he? Must be some science behind that and he's got a brain expert on ASAP
Starting point is 00:37:24 We do, we've got a lot of questions and sort our brain out while they're flipping at it When he asked his mum's opinion on what T-shirts to buy through FaceTime People are funny with their mums though Boys and Mums I hope Jensen's funny with me his whole life He didn't know what a tear duct was
Starting point is 00:37:41 You know what? A lot of people People wouldn't know that though. Went to a five-star hotel and he thought Turned-down service meant you got tucked in by the staff. I fucking wish it was. That is brilliant. Imagine? You folded them up when you were in bed.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I know, it's actually a bit weird, isn't it? I wouldn't mind if the cave and you put like a cool towel on your head or something and like warm... Mits on the bed or warmed your bed up. Sprayed like a knife room spray over. You imagine that. Len Eagles are slack when you think about it. fucking spray for me to do my cell
Starting point is 00:38:14 yeah no thank you service is this god he said the strip lashes I found in his car were mine my sister is a lash check so they're 100% not wow
Starting point is 00:38:23 poor red-handed sunshine that's the worst that can happen I think I think that a lot of people have been caught out cheating right when it's an item of things been left behind
Starting point is 00:38:33 now I would love to know if those items left behind like a Kirby grip or yeah thong lace thong if a lot of A lot of these things have been planted purposely.
Starting point is 00:38:44 By the girl. Yes. I think it's probably 50-50. Because there might have been a situation where, you know, somebody's hid, like we said, always check their bedside tables, girlies, if you're going around their house. See if there's a photograph tucked in the bedside table. But they may have done their snooping and thought, you know what? Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah. I'm going to get you caught. And I'm going to tell her indirectly. That there's been some men here. see when me and jason were first going out his mum in that saw that there was like blonde hair on his car but just from me like probably doing that but they were like
Starting point is 00:39:21 I thought you were out like a walk or whatever and they were like they just literally a full head of blonde hair on your card and it was mine me what what fucking hope so tell us if you have done that what have you left behind or what have you found I booked and paid for a trip to Edinburgh
Starting point is 00:39:41 for our birthdays under the condition he didn't smoke weed or do drugs for one weekend when we arrived first thing he asked as if I want anything from the shops I said oh let me drop the bags and I'll come he insisted don't worry and obviously comes back stinking couldn't go 15 minutes
Starting point is 00:39:56 never mind a weekend safe to say dumped the second we got back and then was crying at my door addiction addiction that's an addiction when he was astounded that cheesecake has cheese in it do you know what
Starting point is 00:40:10 carrot cakes got carrot cakes got carrot in it. Do you know what though, the cheesecake thing? I get that, I can... It doesn't give you cheese. Like, I'm not getting cheese from that. We should have any new carrot cake had carrot in it. When he pronounced the word bagel bagel,
Starting point is 00:40:25 and thought Jesse J sang Do It Like a Jew. What? What? Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-do like a Jew. Bye. Bye. Oh, I think that's enough. Adiotic chat for me.

Just talking of not Jesse J but Jess Glynn, have you seen the new TikTok trend about Jet 2 holidays? Oh, it's everywhere. It makes me so happy. It's like Brit abroad going absolutely wild. Have you seen the one where the guy throws the chair at the guy in the pool and he falls in?
Starting point is 00:41:40 No. No. No. and falls over, it's absolutely carnage. Have you seen that, Moreau? Oh my God, it's brilliant. But in the background, it's like, Come on Hawaii!
Starting point is 00:41:49 Go on a door, Jet 2 holiday. I do like that trend. But what I'm not enjoying about it is a lot of them are all of Crete Airport. Are they? Which airport ever, apparently. But listen, that is because you've watched Crete Airport and it's all coming up.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I know. My whole TikTok is Cephalonia. I keep reading all the comments. fair, there's quite a few saying it's really not that bad. Yeah. And if someone did write in, I don't know if it was to the podcast or to me, it must have been through us talking about going there though. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Saying to book the lounge. Yeah, do that. You get claustrophobic. That's got aircon in it and the airport apparently doesn't. But then people are commenting saying it does. It's just quite shit because they're building a whole new airport there. Okay, well, we'll give them time. Deerate.
Starting point is 00:42:32 We are like international airport sluggers at the moment. We need to just rain it in a little. But what's quite unfortunate is my flight home is not until 11 p.m. and the lounge shuts at 10 so I've got an hour in the lounge and an hour with the peasants straight my tips off my wee fan like that
Starting point is 00:42:49 you'll be fine you'll be absolutely fine it's just because I don't like airport as we know so I'm already like maybe it's last entry into the lounge at 10 maybe or I might just say I need to stay in here yeah I was away for a lot on your plate
Starting point is 00:43:02 and I need to stay in here have you not got a letter from your doctors about your claustrophobia no but I might do that or I might just say I'm pregnant I'm gonna shit that's hell
Starting point is 00:43:11 I'll just say I'm actually with a child now but I'm not told me anyone so can I ask if they're cute I push out my big holiday belly Either way I would love to know
Starting point is 00:43:23 people we literally have just got so many questions to ask you guys I'd love to know people's excuses or things that they said when they were pregnant and what did you have to do or say
Starting point is 00:43:33 How did you prove it unless you'd bump obviously Yeah what was the wildest excuse you had to make about why you couldn't go somewhere or why you weren't drinking alcohol or how did you get out of a situation? No, because what?
Starting point is 00:43:45 Was it not you near the start or even before you were and you had like a middle seat? One of us in a middle seat on like a long plane and we're like, let's just say we're pregnant we'll get like extra leg room and all that. Obviously we didn't, but I feel like I remember having that conversation with someone.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Really? And I was like, how can you prove it? You can just say I'm really early on but I'm really uncomfortable. Yeah, true. I mean, you wouldn't want to do it in case you obviously were putting someone out like
Starting point is 00:44:08 I always think it's wild you know the baby on board thing that you get on a London tube and maybe that's why you get the badge because you're not visibly pregnant but the first trimester when you feel the worst is when you're going to want a seat
Starting point is 00:44:20 yeah no one can typically can't really tell I know hopefully you get that in your first well you get that in your first appointment which would be 12 weeks when you're over the first trimester actually I'm sure though actually talking about tips last week
Starting point is 00:44:33 was when you're waiting in shoes or to board a plane or whatever it is. You know when there's like a... Maybe it's the passport thing and you can go separate if you've got kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I'm sure you can do it if you're pregnant too. Oh, really? Like I'm sure it includes it's something like that in an airport. Part of the queuing process also applies to like with baby physically
Starting point is 00:44:54 or with baby as in like pregnant. Right. I'm sure it is. I heard someone say in a queue when I was going to Palma, I'm sure. Well apparently they treat you like actual royalty when you've got kids especially jet too
Starting point is 00:45:05 so I'll let you know all next week. Fuck. Right then, I'm off on my holidays. I'll have been back right now. You know, I've seen it on my Instagram. See you.
