Happy Tuesday.
Happy Tuesday, guys.
It's the same thing for us.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
No.
On TikTok?
No.
The Hebrideen Beaker?
Mm-mm.
So it's like that.
So interesting.
What, and that's Scottish?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
Do knock
Were you on the board
We're arms out
Yeah
Turf in USA
Surfing USA
Also back to the paddle board
mention
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
that you can go to
Balmaha Beach
Loch
Goylehead
this one came up a lot
Lub
how was it
Lubnag
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
places you can go
and chill in the beer garden
there
um
Arbador Beach
and
oh you've already said
Barassie Beach
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
like sour
Abadawa Beach
I saw like
Abadabadoo
Where's Abadabatabatoo?
Where's Abadabat
Our beach.
Oh, no idea.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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
Venacher
Venacher
I'm just going to
stop
This is more
entertaining
Loch
Mollick
Gorok
Gourok
Gourok
Oh yeah
You suggested
Gouruk
Where we spoke about
a few weeks
ago
With the outdoor pool
Yeah
I mean
I don't know
about the pool
That's my worst
nightmare
But when I went
there
And I was
driving up
I thought
Fuck you know
It's gorgeous
up here
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
where Inver is
have you ever heard of Inver
Inverere
Um
Anver Eerie
Inver Eerie
Inver Eerie it's not
not actually Invernery.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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
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

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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
Tell you what about it.
Have a great time.
Good.
Thanks for listening and watching and we'll see you in Patreon if you're willing enough to join us.
Bye guys.
Bye, guys.
