We know lots of you, Podpiggies, are buying your new homes, your first homes, so Watermans are the perfect solution for all of your legal advice. So for straightforward legal advice, remember Watermans. Happy Tuesday, guys. We hope you all had a gorgeous week in the freaking sunshine. Or maybe you are on holiday in the sunshine.

But it was scorching here. It was bloody gorgeous weather. I like it. I sat in the back garden at my friends, lathering myself up and enjoying the freedom of them looking after gents in whilst I could just sunsand. It was so nice. I loved every second of it. And it got me thinking, right, Zaz.

Bring back spray tans. So I did not know where you were going with that there. We all look so much better with a little bit of colour to us, right? Oh, absolutely. But the issue with fake tan, which we all love, is we can't be asked for a start. You wreck your sheets or whatnot or then it looks awful a few days after it. If you don't look after it and moisturise it well. Bring back spray tans because I just don't understand why we're not doing that.

It's done in a few minutes. Someone else does the job for you. I think we need to make that a thing I think let's predict it I think it's going to come back I think people still do it Who? I think people do it that are going to have a wedding Like if you're getting married you go and get a spray tan

Because you wanted to be perfect Why are we all not doing that? I honestly remember when I used to go out Every single weekend We got them quite often But one of my friends religiously got them Every single Thursday night And does she still do that?

No Never I got one before Paris last year. Did you? From spray tans, Caitlin she's called, quite good.

And you've got tan with Sam doesn't she do spray tans as well? Yeah, she does sweethans too. Right, any spray tangs, I think you're going to I think your business is going to boom I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it. What about the ones that you just get a machine have you ever used them?

Because I've not. Well, Arla Paradise did have that you know that consistent spray miss that you get like on the breeze cans? That's really good. I did that when I was going to quite get the hang of that. But I mean the ones that are in some bed shops.

Like you actually, you go into a machine. Oh, a bit like a car wash when you go and take your car back in the day. And you just stand there and then I think you maybe turn round. You see him friends and Ross does it but he keeps getting on the front. I've never done one of them.

No, I don't think I would trust that machine to be there. I wouldn't either, but apparently they're not bad. But I wonder what tan they use? Could you just use your own tan? No, I think it's all, um... No, there's one that I can't think of the name that I feel is what the spray tanners use or Bondi. Yeah.

I don't have used blonde eye. Never used that. It's got quite a green tinge to it. Yeah. But anyway, I'm here for it. I'm back, wait a time. I just don't like standing my tits out. Yeah.

That's the thing. You've got to be a bit confident with the person you're standing in front of. Once you're in the moment in their spray tan, it's fine because you're cold. Yeah. So they lift. And your nips go,

wheeft. Yeah, and you get like an actual tick lift with it. Do you know in strip clubs, the women actually go and press their tits against the wall and the cold wall to go and make their nipples erect? I think fair enough. It looks so much better. They do.

But I think it's more the moment where it's like, right, ready, and then you have to take your clothes off and kind of first stand there with your boobs out. And you do all those weird, like, robotic views, like to the side. Open your cap. And then when you stand to the back and you have to bend a wee bit so that, like, your bum cheeks open. And spread your bum cheeks up.

Do you tan for your vagina? What? Do you tan your vagina? No. okay what if I was getting a spray tan or myself yourself no I don't do you but I don't have hair though so for me it would look me yeah I wouldn't I mean I don't go like down the way but I would tan this triangle I mean I don't tan I wouldn't say I tan the triangle but I don't do like a straight line yeah it where as soon as like my belly ends

but I don't have laser so even if I mean I don't walk around my bush of it and but you're obviously going to have moments where like it's growing a wee bit back in so like depending on when I'm doing my tan I don't know what's happening down there at that time

do you get a wax for holiday no God that is the worst pain I think I've ever experienced and I only had it on my legs I've never had a wax on my vagina oh my God nobody did it really Honestly, a few of my pals get it religiously every month,

and I just think, and I can handle pain well. The beauty of it, though, it lasts a long time, doesn't it? No. Does it not? No. I got it before I went in a holiday, a few days out on the holiday, it's grown back. What? So for me, I was like, it's sore, it's expensive, and it doesn't even last.

Shaving as uncomfortable, I get it, especially with a bikini. Yeah. Like, round the sides. But I would rather be myself that's giving me the pain than going through that awkward experience. legs open front of someone like no honestly girl is if you can please go and get laser hair removal and start in the winter so you can't get it though because your hair's too fair yep that's a shame that is a shame it's the best thing I've ever

done to the point now I don't even think about it and it hasn't come growing back for me in pregnancy at all like I still have the odd one here and there we'll need to go and get a top up with Liz eventually I want to go to the Ministry of Laser by the way guys if you're wondering but yeah she's incredible she's actually got her own shop now just outside of Central Station. Yeah. I haven't been to that yet. I have.

Have you? I've seen it. It's nice. Yeah, I would love to get laser, but I say love. I can't be harsh when like that. Also, because your hair is so fair, it's not like you have really significant,

like, hair follicles and dots, yeah. I don't get that under my arms or on my legs or down there, to be honest. And like we said, girlies, if you're hating, like, the backs of your arms or in-growing hairs, ameliorate is your best friend or anything for like keratosis polaris like there's a scrub that you can get off amazon some like called kp something it's meant to be amazing but it's really good

you do like to feel your best going on holiday don't you well i've really been upping since we spoke about our girl isy i've been really upping like my body skincare and i've been doing dry body brushing before a shower just literally one minute before up the way and then i've been doing ameliorate and when I'm in the shower I use, what's that body wash that we got in spacing here that time? I actually use the last pump of it. Natrium. Yeah. The purple humongous

body wash. We speak about loads of products by the way, everyone Patreon guide. But yeah, so I've been doing that and really trying to moisturise my body after the shower because I think I always forget that. I'm so good with my face. Yeah, me too. Terrible with my body.

I think you do it more when you come back from holiday because you used to put an outer tan on. Yes. And you want to keep the tan. Yeah. Is it that Lancaster stuff in the orange bottle that's meant to be unbelievable for like maximising and prolonging the time? I've used that loads but... I hate the smell.

Yeah, it doesn't smell nice and I don't feel like anything like that actually works. I think as long as you're moisturised, it's fine. Exactly. I think it's... It's like a fake tan stays if you moisturise well if you don't use like an exfoliating moisturiser. Anyway, when I was out in the garden

got me thinking right in my crazy thoughts when I was away in Greece I forgot to mention this to you guys but the one thing that I fucking hate in the sunshine or especially abroad is midgies, wasps, anything that is just like an insect, flying ants. There was just so, so many. I don't know if that was because we were up in the hills in this gorgeous Airbnb, but it really bothers me.

You know what I'm like with spiders, insects? I just hate it. Eating food outside, wasps everywhere. I hate that. They were in my beer. Oh, just like, I can't bear. you're so irritating, but got me, got me thinking right. When I did the Nt 500, everybody told you to not go up to the Highlands.

So remember this when you do your things before you're 30, Zoe. Don't go around like July, August because of the midgies. So much so, especially when I went to, when I did the NT 500, we did it in May, like end of May. We didn't experience any midgies apart from when we went to Glencoe and we walked out of the camper van and it was everywhere. and people have said to you that some people have to sit there in like a whole like headnet and they're just so it got me thinking right why do you guys call the midgies I call them midges now but what did you call them before mosquitoes okay so I was like what is a midgie are they not too safe at things though unsure this is my question right so I was saying to my friends I was like what's the difference between a midgie and a mosquito I mean they sure look different I'm sure and I was like My friend went, I don't know, really. I think midget is just like kind of mosquitoes, you know, Scottish mosquitoes.

Like, like Ouijis, like Glaswegian mosquitoes. And I don't think they don't give you malaria, I'm sure. Like if they bit you, you wouldn't get that. Yeah, that's why they're different. That is the difference between midges and mosquitoes, I think. Before that just sums up Scotland, like a kind mosquito. A Glasgow, you call them midges. But there must be a version of a midges.

in England. I think they're just called mosquitoes. Or maybe you just call them midges. But why do others not bite and yours do? Do middies not bite? I think they do. No, they do. Why do others not infect but yours do? No. I'm talking abroad mosquitoes you would get malaria. Right, okay. It depends where you are. Right. Could we fact check this guys? Not all mosquitoes carry malaria. Just some. Yeah. I got a bit of five times. in New York like mosquitoes. I got bit

endlessly in Greece on my legs and I was like, what the fuck? Yeah, I get like that too. But my question is, is Midgey just a Scottish way of saying mosquito? Is that your name that you've named them? No, they're different.

We do get mosquitoes in Scotland. Okay. I think they're probably all in the same family. Yeah. They're just kind mosquitoes. In England, they're called gnats. Nats. We would never call them that.

It used to be a form of torture in Scotland you'd get, when the midges were bad, they used to spring people up naked and let the midges out of them. What? What can be that, Kane then? If you didn't hear that, Alan said it was a form of torture back in Scotland where they would tie you up naked

and let the midges at you. Then that got me thinking when we were talking about my friend said, oh, did you know this fact that you know if you say, oh, I got steaming. I was steaming pissed. Yeah. And she said, would you say that? I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll definitely say that.

Did you know that came from Scotland? Came from Glasgow. Came from Glasgow, sorry. Yeah, of course. Yeah. What do you mean, of course? Steaming drunk. Yeah.

Do you know what it means? What it refers to? No. Okay, so everybody, I say this as well. And my friend was shocked that I would say I was steaming drunk, right? The term steaming drunk likely originates from the practice of people getting intoxicated on pleasure cruises on steam-powered paddle boats in Scotland, particularly on the River Clyde. So way back in the day you couldn't get drunk

I think on land or the pubs had closed but you were able to get drunk on the steamy which was the ship and the terminology getting steam and drunk came from the River Clyde

What the fuck? I love that fact but I say that so that's one thing that you Scottish can say that you're proud of taking because English take everything from you and you came up with that

I don't think they take anything from us Of course they fucking don't I think they try That's what I mean they think they do So I was quite proud of Scotland for that Well having a good word to Describing overlying toxicated

Yeah and then everyone catches on I love it Fairfixes I think we've got a lot to bring at the table Well that's why you can't buy booze after 10pm You can't have to just do boozy brunches I think that is crazy by the way I think it's a sleigh What you've been up to do you getting to tell us

I've been on a bit of the health journey If you listened to last week's episode I was having a bit of a moment Last week's patron should I say Just had a discussion with the girlies Just about being the default parent And the struggles So I took myself off after the podcast

And I took myself for a gorgeous sandwich At Sister Midnight Which we've now found out you went to But you had no idea What was that? Yeah gorgeous You had a chicken season

Check and Caesar salad It was unbelievable by the way But not the sandwich You had the salad Salads. Wow, I'm jealous. Did me bread lift? Always sold out when I go.

Then I went across to a place called Pineapple Express, which has been around for a while, but they are now known for their matcher. And there's a guy in there that works behind the counter, and he's from California, and he's all into making that the botanical syrups. And they're going to start growing all their own herbs. It's like pure extra, but just such a cool spot. It's in like a pop-up, I would say, like art gallery. Yeah, it's a strange.

We nearly went into it, but then I was a bit scared. Yeah, you don't really look from the outside and you're like, what is this? But it's nice and they're really friendly in there. But they do all sorts of matches. I think they're most popular one at the moment is the Guinness one. They've created this like Guinness matcher.

And it's meant to be great. I didn't have that. I just had like a brown sugar one. Anyway, I then took myself to the social hub because both Zoe and I have a membership there but we don't really use it as much as we should. But I thought, you know what? I'm going to go in there.

And anybody, by the way, can go in and work in there. I actually didn't go and use our membership. I just sat downstairs with everybody else. Yeah. And I just took myself with my iPad and I got so much done in like three hours. And I felt a hundred times better. Just taking myself for that full day and doing stuff for me, I felt incredible. And that night, Jensen slept amazing.

And then the day after that, I was so productive. I was up doing a walk around the loop at 7. Then I think it's just like a domino effect. When you have a really good night's sleep and you have a good productive day, it just sort of has continued on. and I don't know I'm really now I'm five weeks postpartum almost so Jensen's five months five months you mean you say five weeks did I say five weeks it's been a long long five months so he's five months on the 20th so whenever this comes out

and yeah it's got me thinking like right I'm I'm ready to start taking better care of myself I've said that to you, when I first gave birth, I was really into it, my collagen and all that, and I'm still sticking with that every day, but my other supplements and stuff have just sort of dwindled out. Yeah. And I can feel it in my body. So I went on to that health website,

which I think is one of the best supplement websites out there. You really should work with them, by the way, and get a code because I spend a freaking fortune. But it's like, H-E-A-L-F, and everything that's on that website has been sort of like audited or, the evidence backed. It's not just any old shit on there.

It's really good stuff. So I'll definitely recommend it if you're on the lookout for some of like magnesium greens or whatever you need. And then I booked some one-to-one sessions with Jack's. Jack Shogos at Reset for their reformer just once a week. I'm getting my steps in. I've got the aurora ring, which we'll talk about in a moment. And then I booked in for a couple more scar massages to look at my C-section.

I had an amazing, amazing, amazing lymphatic drainage massage yesterday at Chrysma, which I scream and shout about all the time, but it was incredible. Zoe looked after Jensen for me, bless her, and I went in, it was about a 90-minute appointment. And he was good for you. Zoe said, you're lying, he's great. He shows me up.

And, yeah, I can't recommend it enough. I actually had it with the owner, and she's just amazing. She is scar-trained. The stuff and the knowledge that they know is out of this world. I feel like we're so lucky to have a place like that, by the way, because I've never been for anything. Pardon? No.

Zoe. I sent you my before and after of my first lymphic... I've never had anything like that really. It's mental like your lymph nodes and all that jazz. The things that need flushing and... I know that. Do you know what I need to go and get that?

I think it goes up your arthur. It flushes you out. Clonic. Irrigation. I can't think for a second what that was called. But I just don't think I could do it. It does make you feel good. It makes your gut feel good. Talking of gut, that's another thing.

I've got more of my probiotics from Zeni that, not Zeni, buying buddies, I think it is Zeni that I love. It's so expensive though. But they do make me feel really good. So anyway, I've just been on like a bit of a health week. I've been prepping my food. I've been eating all whole foods, really trying to minimize the sugar that I'm eating, making sure that I'm prepping my breakfast, things that are simple for me to just grab

and go because I'm struggling, like I say, to make time for me in terms of meals. But I made a big batch of my pasta that I spoke about to you guys, but made it with shredded chicken, chia seed in the morning, really up in my fibre and my protein, and already I feel, just after five days in, I feel good, and I'm on it.

It's over for you, bitches. I'm coming back. I feel good. Love to hear you. And that's what I said to you last week. I know what I need to do. I obviously just don't want it enough. I know what to do to make me feel good.

I want the Zembek allegations. Give it to me. Tell me, she's on a Zemik. I think there's not a bit. than that. But the reason I'm saying is because I've said it now. I'm keeping myself accountable. Right, okay, we've shared it with the world.

Yeah, I can't go back now. Fuck. Yeah, we're going to ask you what's happening every so often. All I'm doing is just getting out fresh steps in the day, getting some time for me every day doing some exercising. And that's all I need to do, just be consistent with it. I can do it the odd day here and there, but be consistent with it every single day. Consistency is difficult.

You've been really consistent for like almost a year. and it's paying off for you so much. You look fantastic. I'm only consistent because I have to turn up for Richard. Yeah, but even just aside from Richard, you're really much better with your. Twice a week as well. You're trying to get your step between because you've got cookie

so it's helping you. Just more active. Yeah. More active. My issue is that I buy all the right foods and everything. I also track. I'm not against, like, me and Richard we're talking about this morning. Did you have beat you this morning?

Yeah, seven my eyes are shutting in case you didn't notice that. And I was up to one working last night, so that was really good. Trying to get everything done before you're on your honeybubbs. Yeah. Don't be self-employed. Anyway, yeah, we were talking about it and he was like, but you need to weigh your food and all that, like, if you really want. And I was like, that doesn't bother me. Yeah.

If it doesn't bother you, then do it. I find that easy. Yeah. And I actually like, no more I'm eating for various reasons. But it's more, like, yesterday when I was at yours, because I'd been to Pilates in the morning and I didn't have time to get something to eat, so I just made myself a slice of toast at yours, right? fine cup of tea but then by the time I got home I had a quick protein bar because I was hungry

but I wanted to get into my work then before I knew it was an awkward time say like half three four and I was like I don't want like eggs and chicken sausages and that now yeah so then I just didn't have anything until dinner so I don't eat enough yeah you know at times either and actually what you then do is then at night I'm like I'll just have a few wee cookies because it's fine because I'm not had much to you they're not eating the night things but but For me, it's more like making the effort to actually cook because I can't be arshed. I'm just trying to reduce sugars, like process things.

Richard said a good point to me is like, the best thing you can do, and this requires effort, is when you're shopping, stay on the two outer aisles. Don't ever go into it. Yeah, because everything's in the middle. Yeah, all the processed packaged foods, which isn't bad, by the way, all in moderation, obviously. I love that

but what would your class does it make them feel amazing like packs of cookies packs of crisps things like that what about a chat in Kiev well I ate that every single day

for nine months in my pregnancy I fucking love a Kiev I had one recently and I forget about them but there's nothing really wrong with the chicken Kiev all it is is breaded chicken but you could easily make that yourself if you wanted to

and if you could be asked I'd never make that myself I made one and it was really good but to be fair was it as good as a package one, I don't sure? And also, some things just aren't worth the effort. Do you know what I mean? Like there's things that's just, just buy it.

Yeah, exactly. But anyway, good's fucking on you, hen. But I wanted to share that with you because I had my, got off what was a lot of my plate last week. And you know what? I'm doing something about it. I was like, you know what? I'm taking this time for me and I'm going to do it. And now I've said it publicly to thousands of you. You can all keep me accountable.

What that is, I don't know. Just tell me to get out and get my steps in. It's easy. It's not hard. The problem is, though, having a child that really doesn't like walking for an hour, it's a pain. And when you realise you're two miles away from your house and he's screaming, you're like, fuck, now I've got to carry him back. Yeah. He just hates the pram for too long. He's like, right, I'm out now, bitch.

What annoys me the most is I'll take cookie a walk and then look at my phone and it's like 3,000 steps. I know. I'm like, she's had her walk, like, she's a small dug. But that's like 45 minutes. So what have you? Do that three times? Who's got the time for that? Seriously, especially if you're going to an office? No, but that helps.

When I was at work, I'd had 10,000 steps every day, no bother. But that's because you walked to the train, though. And out at lunchtime. Yeah. But you're also, like, up and down get your water and all that because you're trying to scyve. My Apple Watch used to do that. So anyway, talking of Apple Watches, you wanted to talk about an awring.

Because you've got one and I was going to get one. And I've seen loads of people getting them now, especially because it was Prime Day. I know I'm fuming. I'm annoyed because I should have bought one but I didn't know what size to get him Yeah, you need to know you size by the way Yeah, and I...

John Lewis sells it in Glasgow if anyone's wondering And you can go in and try it Yeah I think Curry's do it as well Do they? I think in general they do But don't know like what ones around here do That'll be on everyone's Christmas list

This year, won't it? Yeah But I think I'm like one I never thought it's quite interesting You know, I've had it on my finger Now I've only had it for three weeks guys My God came up and the amount of people that have said to me is that an aura ring you're wearing

I'm quite shocked because I'm such a chunky ring girlie that I'm shocked people recognise it but yeah it is it's get its own look though I think once you've seen it you know what you're looking for yeah thoughts I like it I think they've done well to make it look decent considering what it does so I'm guessing you guys are going to want to know my thoughts on it and I'm going to give you my honest opinion right I wanted a new watch because my Apple Watch shock has broken. I've had it for a good few years to be fair, but of course an Apple product decides to die

when there's like a whole new burden coming out. And I was looking at a garment, but then I thought I don't exercise enough for this. That is really for like the exercise people. They love a garment. Is that the one that's proper for running? Yeah. Yeah.

Like any form of like exercise swimming. The round one. Correct. Yeah. Then you've got like a whoop, which Alan was talking just about Richard like that. It's just like a bit of like a fabric. strap that's really good for tracking your recovery on the wrist it's just a bit they're all

about too ugly for the rest especially like me when you've got ugly hands stumpy fingers and I thought right this is perfect for me I love gold jewellery I'm such a gold girlie went to John Lewis tried it on and the guy was like you must get the pack like the trying pack I was like I'm not going to do that I'm here I'm trying it on it's fine and I have had no troubles with that I think I picked the right of size and picked the silver up and I thought amazing, okay

I'll take it to the till and I'll get gold never did that man say to me that oh talk to me anything about the organ tell me anything

until I got to the till and he was like oh just to let you know that the gold is 150 pounds more than the silver and the silver is I think

350 pounds right which is similar to the garment so I thought I can justify that because that's what I wanted but 500 pounds and when I got to the till

I thought oh my God, I actually want to be sick. Also, you're too far in at that point. I'm too fine at that point. Also, I'm not going to wear a silver ring. You can never say, no, it's okay, thanks. I'm not going to wear silver. I'm not going to spend £350 on a silver ring.

Yeah, exactly. It's still a lot for stuff and then you don't really want. So anyway, I thought fine. Got out my savings and I was like, right, okay, I'll treat myself, okay? It's for a good cause. Well, absolutely. It's part of the... It's still extortionately expensive, though.

And then came home. wanted to shoot myself in the face downloaded the app is it has it got a monthly membership yes it has i think it's five nine to nine a month which isn't too bad like 60 pounds a year when you actually think about it but still i was like what are the fucking chances of this and it's quite a smart business move actually they're thinking how many times can you buy the what else can you do to upgrade this one offering yeah and how can we keep making money yeah so that's what they're doing the membership actually is quite good the app does flag up like i have never seen so much information in my entire life

and I need like a whole day to actually look into the data. I need you understand how that comes for your finger though. It's your pulse and your temperature and your movement. That's still weird. How are you tracking my steps from my finger? How is it tracking it from your wrist? No, I didn't understand that either but I feel like you get more of like a

arm motion movement. Yeah and also more hams from your wrist I feel that's made me feel weird. Yeah. Your fingers are kind of external part. When I'm doing this now it's tracking my step. I just feel your fingers dangled externally from your body do you know what I mean? Yeah but what's amazing for me

is the feeding in the night with Jensen it's incredible for me to see because you know what you do Lally you're like how many times I don't know last night I've had him five times interesting because Alan and Murray were looking at like wow you had eight hours sleep I'm like yeah then look how many times I was awake

no so I do recommend it guys that's your thing but then what even pisses you off more female hormonal health it's linked with not fertility what's the other one that you put the temperature in natural cycles I think

no idea I think it's natural cycles could be wrong 899 a month on top of the 599 yes I'm not done that because I don't have a period

at the moment but like when I do I'm like you've taken the piss it can track your average get that Amazon pay cancel and get the other ring bought

you're just going to need to get don't cancel your Patreon subscription though. Don't you dare? I was just going to say some might need to go to get some added but no errors. Don't you dare? You get a lot for your money. So that's my honest thoughts on it. I wasn't

I actually wasn't going to say anything about it until I'd really used it for a good few months. Well you can keep us updated. I might get one after my holiday. Yeah. I think you should get silver cells. Although you wear gold as well. I wear both. Yeah. But I think ring wise I've not got as many silver rings so maybe gold would be safer.

But I'll try them both on. I'm going to get myself a silver watching. So maybe I could... Stunning. Are you looking to buy our first home and don't know where to start? Well, don't worry, our friends at Watermans will do all of that stuff for you. They won't be packing your boxes for you, but they'll do everything else. So for straightforward, legal advice, remember Watermans. I've got a couple things to tell you.

That I forgot to say, I went to head aesthetics from a Botox. Gorgeous, jealous. What I've got to tell you is that. I also got my eyes done. You did what? I got Botox at my eyes. Oh, in your crow's feet? Yep.

I'll tell you why. At crow's feet doesn't bother me the slightest I think of you laugh, don't we? I think it quite pretty. Quite pretty. So that wasn't the issue. Yeah. But what I was realising was I was getting wrinkles coming down the way.

Yeah. I hate them. Sorry, what the fuck? I know I'm not like a spring chicken, but I'm not even in my 30s yet. down the way and I thought I'm not having this so I said to her about it and she did do it like

where the crow's feet are but she was called go as far down as I can to try and target them whereas you can only go so far and then it would need to be like a polar nucleotide situation I really want that so that's what I got and to be honest I think it has helped smile for me wow

you don't have any this is me raised my eyebrows that's a very good Botox This is me frowning. Oh, is she angry? Is she sad? Honestly, I'm over the moon with it, to be honest, thanks. Headesthetics for that.

Also, I went and got my annual pedicure on Saturday. Annual? Annual? No, I get my toes done all the time. Pedicure as in the skirt and all that. I was going to say, because we know, you know, it lasts fucking ages. I'm like, wow, are you? I don't think mine last as long anymore.

It's because I'm active. I don't know. Maybe. She's an active girly. I mean, I'm no running, that's for sure. That's, I've decided that's no for me, right? That's honestly fine. Anyway, I went and I thought before my holiday, I liked to get a good scrub.

And also, I'll be honest, I think I mentioned it before, I think my feet get really dry. Is it because I'll be your socks a lot? If you wear sandals, you have really bad dry feet. Especially Birkenstock style because they're rough, and I pay the mine are. But I wonder if it's because I'm quite a sock person, are my feet not getting to breathe? I'm unsure that I'm sorry

yeah I don't know what you mean because I'm like what else is making them so dry anyway quite mind to think about apologies for that so I thought I'm going to get like the scrub out and all that from the wee lassie who does my toes yeah so I went round to get them done

I was in there for one hour of 45 minutes gorgeous no it took too long I was bored and she started scrubbing up my leg it was amazing but up my leg but she was fucking take my tan off and I was going out of my shorts on and you'd have it all by your shin

it wasn't not obvious it was just about gradual lotion right but I was going out like with shorts on which never do the legs don't see the fucking light of day right but I was just going to my dad's for a barbecue so I thought I'll get my legs out get a bit of colour before I go away or allow them to see the sunlight at least

wee bit of gradual lotion she's scrubbing all my foot and I thought it's no bad at being off the foot because actually it's fake hand looks quite shite in the feet anyway halfway up my fucking leg she goes it was nice and smooth after right enough and I'd shade thankfully fucking else she did jaggy hands but what a service

for like 40 quits there's nothing I love more than a proper pedicure does it tackle you though yeah proper I hate it where's that place go that Holly McAllister goes to it looks so good get tipsy nails oh my god

that looks unbelievable get tipsy nails pedicure looks iconic on Uringston Main Street I actually go and get mine done at one of the Vietnamese salons I think it's called Universal Nails or top nails or something but anyway they're so freaking good

but when I went down to see Megan who wears it's Sisu, next to Lateria, they have just got all the new pedicule stations, like, you know, the proper, like, gorgeous, like a stool like this, high-rise, and they're both going on a course next week, so their hair and Morgan are going to go and train in that, so we need to go. We love a good pedicle, don't we? What I find.

Remember that one we went to next central station that time, and we buzzed off it with the massage chairs. Oh, yeah? We loved that. She was scrubbing all her legs. It is so good. It's just the sensation, it almost turns my stomach a bit. Yeah.

See, like down the side of the big toe It actually has made me cringe thinking about it But it is worth it Yeah When they get all the stuff out of the nail Yeah, I've not got nice feet And it does elevate them slightly So it does, I think a French on a toe is perfect

I've got a French as well Love it so much Anyway What else has been kicking off in the world That's what I'm just about to say quite a lot Tell us Everyone's getting engaged Everybody

Every single person is getting a ring on that finger if you have got up bringing your finger congratulations lucky for some do you know what I mean anyway Sophia Tusswood maybe

maybe Creed no Jason said not before I'm 30 have you had your nails done yeah they look quite nice engagement rings fingers

also my middle nail broke and I thought I was going to need to go short and swear again and I honestly thought well I just end life here because my hands I can never go back to that

it really elevates my fingers anyway Kirsty just built it up that's like because they don't do like a lot of places don't do acrylics these days she just built that up with the biab what colors that gel again it's a new one bunny i think it's called love it so nice isn't it yeah anyway no no for me this year then engagement hang okay anyway sophia talks we're getting engaged yay that video was cute right you all took me wrong in that chat because i said i thought it was a bit awkward at the start right and what i'm going to explain here

so he finds that everything cringe no i always Honestly, don't even think that was cringe. I think it's because I watched it before I knew what it was, if you know what I mean, right? So at the start, I'm thinking it's a wee, spend the morning while I was a wee morning coffee and holiday. And when he first gets emotional, she looks so unbelievably concerned. She is? Well, I know, but that's why I was like, why are you including it? Like, because she looks so like, like, watch, like, not, she doesn't catch on straight away.

No, he's obviously trying to just do a speech of wow, which he loves her, and then he started to cry and got overwhelmed. But it's almost as if she's thinking, oh my God, what you're about to say, but didn't think it was that at all. And then she's showed the man? What is he, what do you call him, Brian? That's cute for them. I think he's nice.

He's more rugged than I expected. Handsome guy. But a bit more rugged, but I'm here for that. Yeah. Anyway, congratulations. He's also definitely. You listen to the board, honey? You're listening, congratulations.

He's definitely a rich man in finance in London, isn't he? Duh. Honestly. Fair fucks, too. Nobody's ratchet than her though. They must be breaking it in. Any, three of a killing influence that also got engaged. Freya killing.

That's nice. That was cute. She was expecting that. She was not expecting that. Didn't she keep saying in her posts about the kitten heels? That was quite funny from her. And he was trying to get her to put on her nice shoes and she didn't. That's a shame.

That's cute. You had obviously no idea. Umann, Will from Love Island got engaged as well. Do you remember them? Yes. I saw them remember in London a week after. So you did. When was there? season a couple years ago. Yeah. I really like them too and I'm so glad that he stuck around

with each other. I think he's nice. Also we've now bought ourselves something that I keep seen all over so Shmeda. I haven't seen it and said can we get this please? And said can we get this to the pod. So we'll let you know how it is once it arise. It's called the skinny confidential face roller. So is it like an ice roller? Yeah. Keep it in the fridge or freezer. I can add that into my 20,000 step morning routine. Perfect. I've already got one in the fridge I never used but this one looks nicer so I thought fuck it why not so we're going to try that but if anyone's tried it let us know

people are also buzzing off of Justin Bieber's new album but I'm not really a massive fan of him are you not really but I can't believe he was just kicking about Port Danjacks in Mioka just on the port and everyone's so unaware but I think people would be too scared to go up to him then now because we said he was

he's a bit he doesn't look too well at that I'm not sure what's going on there but Jason's loving it's constantly getting played and there's a few good bangers Yeah, a few good songs. I have not got any more bigger FOMO from two things. One, Oasis tour. Same, I'm devastated. I'm not going. Looks incredible.

Two, Drake at Wireless. I am not a huge Drake fan whatsoever, okay? I was a bit more of a fan back in the day, but I'm not bored now. People of Wireless, I went to Wireless, actually, remember with my little sister. And the crowd was very young, very Gen Z. They did not deserve Drake doing that first night at Wireless. You don't deserve him. I'm a bit shocked he was there,

consider on who was there when you went. Yeah, it was Sean Paul. Again, no one deserved him either. No one knew his songs. He wasn't actually really very good either, but somebody said they went to see 50 cents. It was Carrie. Transmit said he was terrible.

And all he kept doing was the old grunting and he had like three people backing him up that were really like fiving up the crowd. Well, we went to a rooftop Pilates class on Friday night when Transmit was on when he was on. And I thought we'd maybe hear a bit, but we didn't really did. no no I don't I don't miss going to a festival this year when you went to

transmit a few years ago I found that really difficult like the toilets were all was absolutely mobbed cued out like I say cued out the door cured out on the grass and just I think with someone who in the need to go needs to go just doesn't it work for me that yeah I think Glastonbury as well are having a year off next year they know they do that every five years to help the land it must be because we've been trying for a good few years Yeah, that's a shame for us Maybe it's good though Because Jen's will be older

And I can feel any guilt Also Maybe it's a refresh of people That they'll allow into the ballot Yeah, doubt it What I was thinking, right Tea in the Park I never went, did you?

Were you too young? Okay And that's now what Transmit is It's the same people, isn't it? But they just kind of changed it to transmit Anyway, I think Scotland should bring back tea in the park Me too

I'm saying this now to you, Geoff if you're listening Bring back Tea in the Park and bring it back as like a, I don't know, 20, 30 anniversary. A bit more of a glampin situation. When is that coming? When's their 20 year, oh, a lot longer than that?

20 year, anniversary or? It would have been, I think. It was being gone. I think the first in the park was the late 90s, early 90s, early 2000s. Okay, so we could do a 30 year anniversary, one off. It can be bigger than Glastonbury. I think you need to be 27 and over like Pikes.

Well, that would only encourage those sort of people to go anyway, wouldn't it? Yeah. It could be like a Gastonbury vibe. You could have different tents. Carrie was saying TransMet had like a comedy tent. that had drag shows. Paul Black was there doing a live podcast. That sort of vibe would be so good. We can do a live pod for you if you want to

and I just think that would be such a good idea. Gramping situation, get drake back on, bring on the classics, although Tina Park was a bit more like indie, right? I went and saw Nicky Minaj and Swedish House Mafia. Swedish House Mafia! It was her last show. God, I love them. Because they retired

or whatever they did. Speaking of music, we'll end on this, right? I need to go and get my embezzling. fitted. Yeah, she's on a rush. And the next week we'll talk about our in the Patreon, we'll talk about our Amazon Prime things that we've bought and something that I'm loving. I've never been so gutty to not get

loose capalded tickets, so if someone can please get with them, please, please, I beg, I'm a paying customer like, I want to go and see him. Why did you not get tickets? I was 40,000 odd in the queue. Wow, do people want to go and see him that bad? Every single show sold out. Where's he playing?

Hydro Anyway If anyone wants to take me I'll come with you And I will sing But I'm not the worst I feel like Listen I really love Lewis

Personally Am I gonna get hate for say this I just don't love his songs I'm not But that's my music But just so samey That is just my music though You can belt it in the car

Love it He's probably one of the biggest icons in the world Personally That new song is emotional. They're quite deep. Right, well, I hope you enjoyed that fucking chaotic chatty episode and I'm going to leave before it does get deep.

We're back to give you a wee bit of an extra sum sum this week. Yeah. Because I returned from the dentist and we decided we wanted to give you a dilemma. Yes. We want to make sure there's a dilemma in most of our episodes. Because we do a lot of them over on side dish, but... We've got quite a lot to dissect on side dish this week so we thought we'd give you this one for the main.

And also I just think there's a bigger rodding so it might help more people. All we want to do is assist people in this life. I've been with my partner for two and a half years. He started a new job about a year and a half ago and he works in an office with all females. My issue is he talks about these girls all of the time. If he isn't in work, he's texting them all separately

and it's constant. I can't say anything because I immediately become an embarrassing. she comes psycho I can't tell you the amount of arguments we've had and he has never once tried to reassure me instead saying that I'm mental I've asked if he ever mentions that to them if we argue and he said that he has told them all that I feel a bit insecure when he goes out with them all they're all gorgeous and I'm a fat ugly potato sorry I just know that's not true oh no that's not true there's one girl who he works with who has a fiance and I've asked if he could go out as a couple because I've moved into a completely different town to live together

and have no friends close by. He originally said yes, but now if I bring it up because I feel isolated, he refuses to talk about it and says that it's up to him to ask and he doesn't want to, and I don't understand why. Am I being a nut job wanting to have a couple of friends? I should mention he always jokes

about her fella being his best mate and the text, so has he embarrassed with me? I think he sounds like a bit of a dick, I'm sorry. I don't think it's that he's embarrassed of or I think he just wants to be with him and know her. Yeah, but she said she hasn't got any friends and it would make her feel more confident if he introduced them to her and if

if that was me I would do anything to make my partner feel secure if they were feeling insecure and also have friends because it's important for the relationship I think that's nasty especially to sort of like dangle the carrot and say oh yeah okay let's do it and then all of a sudden it's now like oh no it's not for me to ask that's shady I'm sorry I don't like that he like he says he's friends with the fiancee then surely they could be like right let's set up a double date unless like you say he is quote unquote embarrassed by you then he needs to go in the bin

but also if he's friends with the fiancé then I don't imagine he would have an issue of bringing a girl around the girl because at first I'm thinking he's obviously into her or into one of these girls right but if the fianc's there of her then what would be the issue with him bringing somebody

yeah but is he just saying I'm best he's with the fiancé to try and sort of dial it down a bit. Essentially. Because you do have that sort of common reaction like but they've got a girlfriend. Yeah, and I speak to them, I like them.

Yeah, to kind of deflect from the fact that you're maybe speaking to them too much. I also think you can't stop them from having like your partner to have friends of a different sex, right? And it shouldn't be an issue. But I'm not sure the constant chatting outside of work's necessary.

Yeah, but are you? You're just saying that because it's females? Because I would chat to you outside of work all the time. I mean, I guess so. And it wouldn't really bother me personally, but the problem is, it is bothering her, so if he wants to be with her,

he needs to... Yeah, but why is it bothering her? That's the question. Richard's got loads of female friends, doesn't bother me. Because you're secure, I guess. Well, I feel secure. I feel it. He's making me feel secure.

I don't feel intimidated in any way and she's obviously not speaking very nice about herself so she's got low self-esteem at the moment so what I would say to try and lift you up would be number one work on that self-esteem of yours or he's not giving you enough attention you're not speaking very nice about yourself and why not go and try and find your own friends

like make that your mission to do that yourself I know it's easy sometimes to go and just be like couple friends with your partners but also you don't want to rely on that and I think it's important for you to go and create your own life and your own friends so you can do things separately that's probably the only reason why you want it so much is because you haven't got anybody else to lean on at the moment

you've not got a social life out with him really yeah but he's now not given anyone either yeah exactly so I would by the sounds of things probably just work on yourself and then yeah do things for you and then you'll soon see maybe then things will change and he'll be like oh maybe at the moment he just feels a bit like oh you know he can tell that you're probably a little bit like can i come out with you can i do this for me personally if richie was doing that i'd be a bit like oh i just want my own friends like it's a bit yeah much yeah but then on the flip side i'm like

why why is that a problem no i know so you can look at it both ways yeah i think the thing about like speaking outside work as well like it wouldn't bother me personally either but i think there's a balance between like some of our pals wouldn't stand for that and it's not that they're insecure they just don't think that's just certain girls that don't don't like it that's fine that's what i mean that's what i mean though and we're maybe not those girls with most things but if she's got such an issue with it i feel like he needs to have a bit respect for her too exactly yeah so yeah not say or i can't speak to anymore my girl like you shouldn't be go back and saying that to them i'm not allowed to you should just be like

calming the conversation of it if it's constant and she finds that uncomfortable also i know how much I know he's been with Jason sitting in his group chat when we're trying to watch him or whatever. I imagine it's because he's sitting texting girls. Girls. Like I think if it's constant and maybe would bother you differently because just them being on their phones annoying,

never mind it being. Yeah, agree. Like a bunch of different females. I don't know. There's just something that dodgy. Like you say, I think it totally depends on the situation and the type of person you are.

And the type of relationship you're in and the type of guy that they are. 100%. I don't know Richard gets on very well with women and it just doesn't bother me I don't know why

So it's facts rather than like your opinion Yeah Because I feel like we all kind of agree with that Yeah Whereas I don't know It's a hard one isn't it But then I guess if I was with a guy

That was quite toxic Or didn't make me feel so secure Didn't speak about me Openly I don't know Does he post you on social media I know that's a bit of like does that matter but sometimes I think it does

like are you a secret to any of those people at work or does he share much about you do you think he talks about you? Does he share those conversations? Does he show you the WhatsApp group what they're talking about? Or is he shady with his phone or is he like speaking about you

in a type of way that puts you down and compares you to those women or just ask yourself those questions? What I'm annoyed about is he's going on his work and does tell them about their arguments. Yeah, that's what I was going to say actually. But she's also mentioned to us that he'll say things like you're being mental

so I know he's going in and saying her like psychomental always like painting on a bad picture Maybe that's why it's become awkward though because they're probably giving him advice and saying yeah she sounds a bit nuts or whatever they're maybe not really fond of her from what we've heard

I mean we are jumping the gun here we're just thinking about all sorts of scenarios we all have a moan about our partners or whatever to our friends or colleagues or whatever situation you know because you want to get it off your chest or off your plate I should say but

unless it's your closest friends who don't like hold it against you you can't always go the full way about what you feel or what actually happened because you don't want to paint a picture of someone in the wrong light you know that's a difficult one but I agree with you I think

don't rely on him to give you friends or a social life or your confidence like get that yourself and then in return you won't really need him the same as you're doing right now I think ultimately what this does boil down to is probably the fact that you don't really want to be friends with these girls. No.

You actually just want friends. Yeah. And you're feeling a bit shit about yourself because you don't have anybody else to bring you up and, you know, good girlies around you. And I think your mission is to try and make some new friends. Absolutely. Out with you, his work place. Love it. Well, I really hope that helped.

Yeah, let us know how things get on. And if you are, let's say you are a girlie or a guy listening to this podcast. what's your situation with girlfriends? Does your partner let you have them? Or do you have none? Have you became friends with a woman since being with your partner and you haven't had any before? How has that gone down?

Like a ton of fucking bricks? Because that's the thing most people say, isn't it? Like if they've been friends, like since before I got it's fine. But then any new girls that come into the relationship, it's like who are they? Yeah. Interestingly though, Richard had had no female friends before we met. I had a lot of guy friends.

But his have all come from since we've been together and that's, well, it's all from the gym. And the sort of gym he goes to as that sort of place which is why I don't think it's alarming in any way. Like a community. Yeah. All of Jason's team at works girls as well but he just tells me things about them normally

the way he would, if it was a guy. Yeah. So it doesn't really, I would never think anything about it. It's just you hear these things like you're like, men, you know, there's so many things out there online as well. They're like, men can't have friends relationships with girls. Of course they fancy them. I think that's how it's nonsense.

I don't agree with that either. I don't agree with that at all. You either know if you're with that sort of manny or not. And by the sounds of it, I think you think you are. Yeah. And that's why it's bothering you because you don't obviously don't trust them enough or you're just not confident enough in yourself. She's not confident enough in herself, yeah.

Yeah. Okay, well, let us know how things go. Best of luck. Keep us updated. If anyone else to get any thoughts on it, let us know as well. send us in your dilemmas we love to speak about this so much on the podcast so please send it in we're not experts but we can just give you friendly advice we want to be getting close to being an expert's by this point we've done for three years it's our third birthday next week three whole years of a lot on your plate podcast can you believe it we should do a little segment of what's
