Oh yeah Happy Tuesday What accent's that then Happy Tuesday Cockney Yes Cockney lads How are you Zoe

I feel rusty Same It's been two weeks See each other for a while Yeah Since then we've been up to a lot I've seen you more in the last two weeks And I've seen you last year I believe

And we've just been like Little kids Silly little kids Right, where are we been, what we went up to? Where should we start from? No, the first thing I need to say is that it's September. It's cozy season, cozy zoey season. It's autumn, it's September, it's birthday month for me.

Oh, yes. Your last years of your 20s. Correct. By the end of this episode, we need to add one more thing to your before your 30 list. Okay. What could that possibly be? So does it need to be 30?

things before 30? Yeah. That's quite a lot of things, isn't it? Yes. I've got eight at the moment. It's also the month where I hate everybody on the internet because they keep sharing spiders to their story. So if this is you, fuck off.

Yeah, why is it spider season? September's always the same. I've seen a few running around my house, but thankfully the cats are like, pion! Yeah, Guckookew gets things like that too, actually. Oof. Hatred. Yeah, I just don't think we need to put on the stories.

No, no, thank you. We don't need to share the fear. So, a few things have opened. We've been at a few things. We went to DeSume opening. Yep. Which, if you are over on Patreon, we have vlogged. We actually did a whole weekly vlog, which is really cute.

Yep. So we've vlogged the event. Yeah. Let's talk about the event first, actually. So, because that was before, right? Yeah. We did the event first. Bozy brunch, which was amazing.

So much fun. So much fun. And I think this was probably one of the first times where we felt not so much pressure on us because we were almost just boozing with you. Yeah. And I like that. It was the first time I've been out properly before Jensen.

So I've really let my hair down. I had a great time. Charlotte Tilbury did our makeup, Jack Baxter did our hair. We've shared our links to our outfits on the newsletter, which a lot of you asked. And we felt gorgeous and glam. We also shared the whole makeup breakdown on the newsletter as well if you're interested in that.

I just think it was a lovely day I liked how we were at Mazon and then quite a lot of us moved to Delphine which is a new place it's opened in Princess Square Grand Floor really cute place

but then we went to Wonder Bar after that yeah because bear in mind this was a Sunday so it's a bank holiday Sunday but not a bank holiday in Scotland technically sexish yes it was busy though

yeah it was mobbed and then we went to Kong roof floor only guys you wouldn't catch me down underneath too younged in there. But, I mean, I haven't been in Wonderbar in a long, long time. A long time. And then we went to Kong rooftop.

Yep. Sat outside. Which was dead. But sitting outside was nice. Yeah. We just sat and chatted, didn't we? There was a lot of us because quite a lot of people came in our group. So, you know, and you don't really need anyone else to be there.

Yeah, true. Because, like, we are the vibe. We are bringing the vibe. We don't need the vibes to be in existence. We actually wanted to go to Devils of Brooklyn, didn't we? And do all those nice cocktail. but because there's so many of you it's either you need a booking or

it's risking walking that way and not getting in. I also think by that point we were wanting upbeat vibes. Exactly. You know what I mean? We were wanting a good bit of music, a bit of live music and all that. We weren't wanting like a nice cocktail vibe. We were wanting a strong drink.

And that was because the vibes were up from the dancers. Annesia. They're unbelievable. Imagine it to move like that. What was that song they came out? out to again. Let's get loud. Let's get loud. That's a tune. And the music was so, I was like, yes. And they come bouncing out the room. People were like, wow. Gorgeous. So then the event went really well. I had a stinking hangover the next day. Me too. Open one on I and realized that was a mother. That was quite something. You, I was being sick. Being sick. Yeah. You got in

at half two. I think I got in at half 11, but that's still a long time. Bear in mind we left the house at 9 a.m. Half eight. Half eight. Yeah. Yeah. Because we had to beat Jacks. A long day. you're not fuelled enough for it like nothing you can do is enough for that level of day I also was having a peppermint tea at the event because I had the source of rummock so yeah I remember seeing that

I just thought why now why do you need to do this to me now and I'm telling you right now it was that pastry from Pratt which was good we had like a new cinnamon pastry from Pratt it was delicious like warm

cinnamon liquid in the middle yeah I think it was a new thing they had but you know it was something I want to say And this is something that I feel like I've always struggled with my whole life, right? Is going to the bar and ordering a drink on a night out,

a boozy, boozy nights out. I never know what to order. I don't know what my drink is. I don't actually think I like alcohol that much. No, I don't. But I love beer so much. Sorry, I'll take that back. I do like alcohol,

but there are only certain things I like the taste of. I like a beer in the daytime, definitely a desperado with limes sort of vibe and I love a really good primitive red wine

with dinner I'm not drinking really one of those two things on night out no Prosecco is something that I can guzzle

like a books phys style or a bit of shamboard in it that's what I was ordering in the end because I was like what the fuck

are you drinking but it needs to be like a sweet prececo yeah so think like a bale right and apparel's nice

but too much of it it's just a bit too cold for me I don't know that's why I was drinking it all night and I'm a bit like I love a spicy mark

but I can't ever be asked to wait at the bar to order that and if you go into a bar a bit like Wonder Bar or Kong actually does a really good one but let's say Wunder Bar for example they're not really good spicy marks not a cocktail barn isn't it?

Yeah so for me I struggle with that I never know what to order I'd end up drinking fucking Provence like the girls were ordering like bottles of rosé wine that is so not me

I know I did even though you're done voiced this feeling until you maybe did say it on the night later on until we were speaking about it the next day or whatever a few of times I did say to you what are you drinking I genuinely think I'm that rusty I've been that long I was like I don't know who I am anymore I was on the apparel's

until all night actually until I went to I ended the night in Maxi's bar just for one drink and I got rogue I got a desperado in there wow my last drink was a desperado oh my God no wonder I was sick the next day I know I had Apparals all day all night I think that's good though what I'm saying is sticking to the same drink is pretty good but for me I had

every single thing you could think I've entered my stomach that day I started with the strawberry margarita and mazola which was lovely honestly had a massive chili in it yeah so it did do you know what was a good drink that I feel that you like

rhubarb and ginger gin I love it I do love a rhubarb and ginger gin but could you drink that all day and all night either it's quite a strong flavour I feel like it gets a bit much. I do know what you mean like I could never get

I don't think I could get like a vodka now vodka lemonade in line maybe I could do yeah unsure anyway it's a difficult one it was a great day but I just thought I needed to say that

because I just feel like I don't know who I am at the bar I get there I'm like who am I tonight I think that's maturing though because we drink more in a sense of like we drink what we enjoy

enjoy that's it we're not drinking to get drunk these days we're just going out for a few cocktails with the girls and we're drinking marguerite It's an apparel specs. Although, I'm saying that, I would say, I don't take shots anymore, but your mother brought a tray of about 25 tequila

rose to the table in Delphine. Do you remember that? Yeah. I thought, what are you doing? Come on, Suzanne. She would have taken all of them herself. She would have. No one wanted one.

Anyway, so that was a brilliant day. Then. Then we went to the Shum opening. Yep. And Glasgow City Centre. The music was that loud we couldn't hear our thoughts. It was very nice. We just sat there like, literally, picky bits.

It wasn't a sit-down meal. It was canopies. I don't usually love restaurant openings like that, to be fair, because you can't actually judge. Get to really try it. Judge, who am I to say. You can't actually just give your true review on something like that. But I have been to just assume a few times before,

and I can confirm it's bloody gorge. The breakfast nan. Yeah. What a genius idea. We got a gaudy bag when we left and it had a little token for a breakfast nan. Did you get that in yours? I'll be going. I'll be going.

I'll be there. Sure. We'll be there. but what I will see is I think it's a lovely restaurant Yeah And actually a nice bar area as well That was flipping pumping as we were leaving Pumping in there, unce-unce

Was it free booze? I don't know, we did a bellini Which was really nice Gorgeous Speaking of bellini Yeah Peach bellini Had a peach bologna

Yeah Really nice And then we went somewhere else Which we've spoke about On the vlog But you're going to speak about on the Patreon Because Zoe's got some goss Which she's fuming about actually

I want to rant about it I'm ranting. I think you should rant about it. I'm ready to run. I don't think I've ranted on here for a while. No. I think I'm quite positive in this day and age. Yeah, you are.

It's all that life coach and you're getting. It's working. Absolutely, as that. We also were up at Sterling Home, telecoutry, because you were working. That was before the event. We did a busy weekend that weekend. We were all the way up in Sterling.

Sterling. Great store. Massive. Massive. So I was doing a cooking demonstration there Which was really cute Very chill vibes Just anyone that was shopping in the store that day

Because they've launched their leather lounge But anyway over my Instagram I am giving away The most incredible sofa And I'll be honest Like That sort of style of sofa Isn't something that you'd probably pick

For your living room in your house Well me personally However when I was there I was like I so could have this And it would be amazing Let's say you were lucky enough to have either like a second dining room or you had sort of a kitchen diner

where you had that casual sofa with the TV in your kitchen space that would be perfect for that or even if you were minted and you had a cinema room also perfect for that Or like a bar room or something Yeah

Or like an outhouse in your garden What life You know I'd find a space for it somewhere Maybe not in my gap But there was a lot of buttons A lot of buttons And there's a lot of fabrics

Really gorgeous Anyway you can win it you have to be based in Scotland though to win it I'm afraid so anyway go and check my post and tease and tease I think it's open for a month I'll pick the winner by random on the 30th of September those vibrations sound vibrations it was a cinematic experience

it was amazing I feel like we were blown away we were I think we need to talk about autumn autumn just as a general thing yeah a general season Before you know it, right, it's summer.

And then literally before you know it, in a matter of days, you see those gorgeous crisp, orange leaves on the floor. Love. People start seeing, you know, people start wearing jumpers. And it gets extremely freezing fucking cold. I love it. So, the fashion changes. Thank fuck.

Yeah. Because the horrendous summer sale is out of the shops. Get your spaghetti straps away from me. Away from me. Arms are in forever for the foreseeable. But let's talk about a bit of fashion going on right now. I just love a net. Do you love a net?

Loving it. I think it's quite knowing that we live in it. We love a net. And I just love quite like a boot. A boot? Quite like a boot. Yeah. I feel like I don't wear my Doc Martin boots enough.

But things with Docs, they're so... Uncomfortable. Transitional, yeah, massively uncomfortable. You could see them in like, ibitha. No, I know, but I think that's where they are in my head. Like I would forget to put them on with my jeans. But actually, it's cool. They're nice.

Yeah, they're really cool. Very true, actually. I'd forget. Yeah, but then that's what, I think brogues are quite nice for the sort of transitional period into winter. Oggs, what are you thinking? Love an hug. Love an hug. I think we just keep Ogs now.

Ogs are just here to stay in my opinion. Oggs are back. Yeah. Now, I'm wearing these double lace trainers. They're the dupe of the Mewu. I really wanted the new balanced ones. Me too, but they're sold out everywhere, guys. No chance. We said it on the vlog this week, but I had the mom when we're going to Deschum.

Was it Deschum I had the mom for? And I showed them to Zoe. No, you showed me at yours a couple days before. That's right. And we were like, love them. Love them, right? And I kid you not, I think I just Googled double lace trainers because I really wanted the new balanced ones, right?

And sold out. everywhere. But then they came up. You know how you can Google shop? And I clicked on it. It was on ASOS and it was all sizes. I thought, oh, bloody hell that's quite weird that there's all sizes in that. Quite rare. Yeah. I didn't know that they were new. I'd never seen them before. Anyway, it got to Zoom. Zobu was like,

I've seen them all over TikTok. They're now known as the new autumn shoe. So they've gone viral, right? Yeah, it's the new video of you find your perfect autumn, you know, those videos. Right? It's those shoes at the moment. Two days later. That was two days later. I went onto my order on ASOS, all

completely sold out. That just goes to show you the power of TikTok and social media how something can just go viral. Now speaking of viral, I want to talk about the viral leather jackets and sway jackets from Zara. Right? They're everywhere. I also was a victim of this where I bought it, before it went viral,

I bought the khaki one, that's a bit of a cheaper price range. I feel like you're ahead of the curve, shall we say? I'm ahead of the curve, but I'm not telling anybody about it. So now I just look like basic Molly Mays are a jacket bitch and so what's happened is I got the delivery because I ordered it online

the suede jacket I thought oh my god I love beige neutral so I treated myself to the real suede jacket people are saying it's like a YSL dupe all the girl who's on Instagram look amazing in it guys it's hideous it's hideous it got returned to Buchanan Street like hopefully someone's gone and got it

because I'm so glad I got my money back I put it on I look like a bag of shit I don't know if it's because am I either drama. Maybe I am the drama. I don't think you're the drama here. It doesn't fit nice for the price. It smells, because it's real sway, so it's really strong smell. What's the smell like? Just real sway, which can be quite nice, but it's so overpowering. And it just fits weird around the waist. And I think because it's real swaying, it's quite stiff,

I need it to be a bit more relaxed. It's just not my vibe. So guys, if you missed out on that, don't stress. It's not the best. But what I was saying on the vlog was also you don't buy things because the fear of it being the new molly me leather jacket then you end up not buying anything you like because you're scared that everyone's going to have it so then you end up with any nice clothes anyway so just buy the fucking jacket

but this is a bit like TikTok with barrel leg jeans they got slagged to hell about six months ago maybe a year when they started coming in I've never loved anything more same I think they are the most flattering jeans for anyone's legs I don't like the fact that they are a bit like ankle swingers because I do love a gene that's a bit longer leg.

See, I don't get that, I think, because my legs are the height of shite. None of them are ever too short for me. So on the pod, I'm always wearing them, right? And this is why when I sit down, they're always, I look like this. Because when I'm sanding up, they are... I quite like that look, though. Do you? Anyway, these are 11 pounds.

These are actually called carrot leg. Sorry if you're not looking on YouTube and pointed to my jeans. They're boo-hoo, right? I bought them and I just literally gave birth because I fitted in nothing. and they are eight pounds on boo-hoo now. We link them on last week's newsletter because I needed to find the link and I was like, shit. Eight pounds.

Eight pounds, they're all in stock. They fit beautiful. Carrot leg and they're sort of like a muted, what would you say? Like a light khaki, sagey denim. It's weird. Yeah. Karky with a hint of giddy, I would see. Yeah.

What else have we seen in the shops that we want to get? So I love barrel leg jeans. Leopard prints kicking back a bit. Yeah, just here forever as well. Somebody said to me at the event, actually, I know you hate leopard print. I was like, no, guys, I don't hate leopard print. No, we don't hate it.

I just said there was a time in my life where my whole wardrobe was animal print from working at quiz. And I had the ick for it because it went out of fashion and just how you need to maybe start buying a bit more like plain pieces. Accessorising with the prints. Speaking of plain pieces,

we went to cause and got some T-shirts. We both needed t-shirts. I chucked all mine out because they all had marks net on them. See once you get makeup on the neck, how are you getting that out? Elbow grease. You know the elbow grease spray? Spray that on either oil splashes or makeup. Faire of liquid is actually quite good as well to be fair. Is it? Yeah. Because it's oily so I think it pulls it out. Pulls the oil, yeah. You know the pink miracle stuff as well think they do that in a spray. There's a lot of people online that are really good at washing clothes. Yeah, I know. Melissa's wardrobe's good at it. She is, isn't she? Yeah. What's that stuff she always promotes? Oxy something or... It's like, um...

Is it elbow grease? Not what's the stuff you use in cooking? Like, Baccardin it soda or something like that? Yeah, yeah. She uses something like that. Yeah, and she smokes it in it fast. Yeah. So she does, yeah. But I kind of be asked doing that.

Nah. Like my socks don't need to be that white. I'll just get some new ones in a few months. You know what I mean? Yeah. Get rid of the dirty socks. get some new ones in I just don't think it's worth it

like my socks aren't expensive yeah stripes are everywhere I love a stripe a rugby shirt like Zoe's wearing today love a striped t-shirt what do you think about the colours in this really like it

I think it suits your skin tone a lot wow okay I think it's a bit washed out looking you know how you always bang on you don't like brown I don't think a suit brown you do I think you change it no I think because I've got a white collar it's okay okay I think it's when the brown's at the skin

right I think if you were wearing brown and you were blonde, you probably need to have a bit of a tan. Yeah, I think that's not a bit of the issue. We had a spray tan. And honestly, guys, we said a few weeks ago, they are game-changing, like,

they genuinely are so good. I just like that every crevice of my skins. Tanned. Yeah. Nothing's not apart from the vulva, shall we say. The vulva. Oh, we need to talk about this,

guys, we're pissing ourselves. So Alan said that our video went viral about the tanning our triangle. And it annoys me so much how everybody online, especially TikTok, it's so literal. And they have to, nobody can take a joke. Nobody, everybody has to pick out everything you say and take it so literal. And it's like, oh, just come on. We said in it, do you tan your vagina, right?

And then I said, the triangle. And people in the comments, not everyone, but some were like, how does she not know that it's the vulva? Can you actually imagine if I went Zoe, do you tan your vulva? What the fuck, guys, no I would say what's the vulva I just think it's not a biology lesson Yeah, we don't need to just be so To the point

We don't need to talk about our fannies Like, it's just a vagina The whole thing to me is the vagina Like we don't need to talk about parts of it Anyway Fanny's We tanned our vulva No, I didn't tell my vulva

No, we didn't get the vulva tanned I actually kept my pants on I would always do that I would simply never take my pants off the fact that my bra's off is enough I actually said to her I was like do you want me to lift my boobs up she was like you don't need to do that

like they don't they're not that low I was just asking I was just checking what's difficult for me after it is obviously you don't put like layers on so you just put like a big sweatshirt or a big t-shirt or something on

and I feel like it's quite difficult with the boob situation because it's quite uncomfortable not having a brow on and then you're sticky yeah feel like under there's a bit sticky and sweaty sticky wiki sticky vicky I'm also on the market just to end the combo on the fashion

I'm on the market for a black leather jacket with no gold or silver hardware I'm thinking like oversized vibe a bit more casual looking why do you know what in the hardware is it so you don't need to match with it yeah because I've got the doler one with the

silver hardware, I wouldn't wear a black leather jacket with gold hardware. I always think it kind of looks better with silver. Yeah, actually, I could even even that one. But I think without the hardware, then you can have straps of bags where you go out at night and you don't have to, and also I always wear gold, and sometimes I think it looks a bit strange. Like, I'm quite a gold jewellery wearer. Yeah, you are. Anyway, weirdly, it's like the world knows, Lorna looks shared a leather jacket from her brand this one I didn't even know I thought her brand was a candle brand or a wine brand I got it wrong no she does have a wine

and now she's got a hair mask right yes she has but I think it all lives on the same website maybe L-S space or something L-A space I think I'm not actually sure it's quite confused now I would say and she looks great in this jacket and it's so nice I'll share it to I'll pop it on screen now Marie will pop it on screen now but it's a really nice jacket

and I think I might treat myself to that I think you should give that a bash and see how you got on I think it will see me through forever because the duly jacket I've wore till it's dying death yeah I do know what you mean about the hardware thing

like when we were in Zara you'd return in that jacket the other day I had to be Wander and there was loads of nice sweat not really jackets more kind of like like a guy's over shirt but in a women version

you know what I mean but like a wee light Jacket, can I think? Shacket. And they all had really noticeable, like really yellow gold or, and it just made it look quite cheap, I thought. Yeah.

Like I didn't like it because of that. The struggles in this life. Anyway, let us know in the comments or send us any things about fashion that you're going to be treating yourself to this season. Pretty please, inspire us. We also went to Homegrown. That's a perfect transition.

into autumn because we had some really good food. In fact, I went twice. I had pancakes. So Homegrown is a garden centre in Gartosh. Gartosh. Gart Kosh. Gart Kosh. It's basically just up near Udingston,

not far from the showcase cinema that we talk about quite a lot. But also quite near before. Yeah. It's such a nice garden centre. It is. The chef is incredible. They really do. focus on local produce, some of the best stuff there. The presentation of the food's so good.

The quality is amazing. The homeware's amazing. So nice. And they also do excellent drinks. And I got a banana. Caramel. Caramel latte. And then when I went with Richard the week, well, a few days before actually, because I was clucking to get this collagen match that they shared on their Instagram. So good. So freaking good. I'm surprised you don't get a match actually now that you see that, but you've already had it. Yeah, because I really want to. to try banana with coffee because I've seen that all over online and all.

I like banana. I love banana. I like bananas and I like banana-flavored things. Like foamy bananas. The wee sweets? Yes. I wouldn't choose them but I would eat them.

I don't know if I'm into the chocolate ones though that you get in the shops at the towel, you know what I mean? Chocolate covered with foamy things. They give me the fit, what are they? Why is everyone touching them? Why don't have a packet like a wrapping around it?

I hope people listen to this. know what we're talking about. Like, they're just open sweets. Like, just help yourself, but then pay 15pence for it. So you're getting a sweet plus a disease at the same time. Have you tried or seen? You've just reminded me. Merri-Lan cookies sandwich?

No. Oh. What's that? I honestly thought of you when I saw it. Merri-land cookies. What's in the sandwich, though? They've made, like, you know, like Nutella sandwich? Like an Oreo kind of thing.

They've bought out, like, double layer. Anyway, sorry, interrupt you. Wow, I must try that. You know, a club orange. Yeah. Have you seen the club orange like wafer bars? A club?

I used to getting a packed lunch when you were a kid. Yep. They've now got a club orange but it's like a wafer. Oh. Like a chocolate bar. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. See, I love orange chocolate. I know how people are a bit either mint or chocolate. I like both. I like both too but I'm more favourable to orange. I'm more favourable to mint.

But I probably eat orange a bit more because Jason loves it. How good is that mint chocolate? Which is the one that we love last year? The Terry's chocolate. chocolate orange but mint because it's so strong it's like a chingam on your mouth

but with chocolate it's perfect I try to think what else I've been buying in the supermarket recently that's really good if you like cottage cheese this is a random one I know but I love it I've always loved it actually since I was a kid I find it funny

but the Graham's have bought out a 30 gram protein cottage cheese version I'm sure Graham's dairy is a Scottish brand yeah I think it is I think it is. What's the 30 grams, though, like the whole pot or just like a potion? It'll be the whole pot.

if you're looking on YouTube? That's very bloody well done. Nothing describes you more than what's just happened there. There's literally a coaster right in front of you with your name on and you've put your match up beside it. My brain didn't even want to do that. It was like, no.

But what I did was I removed my coaster from the table that I can't reach onto the side table beside me. and sat up on a drink right on it. Okay, you're just so perfect and so Taipei. We all need to be more like Zoe. I apologise. Would like your straw? Yep.

Thanks very much. Okay. Right, guys. Do you know what I need to tell you, by the way? I finished my Envisaline journey. Really? It's finished. The journey as a whole is not finished,

but the Invisaline is out. I couldn't be more jealous. You couldn't be happier. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. So what I'm now doing is going into my whitening phase. Oh, you hate whitening your teeth as well. I hate it as agony but it's needed because my teeth are show this colour

just had not been able to do anything obviously since December so whitening and then we'll see what's sort of bonding I need slash want so that's the next stage I'll keep you updated on that right but what he did say to me was

he's going to round off my teeth a bit so they're a bit more feminine. Yeah, feminine. What everyone needs to realise is I know I say word wrong but it's in purpose like feminine. Yeah, I like it.

Feminine. I, however, say words wrong and think I'm saying it, right. But I feel like maybe in a couple of months they'll be finished. Depends how quickly I can get them to the whiteness I want.

Guys, the last time I wore my Invisaline was season one, episode one. Have you still got those three things on? Please get them off. I have every intention of putting them back in No I think a train track Three years later I might get a train track But then I've wasted my money though Zoe

It's wasted anyway, you're not wearing it I know but it's in my draw But you're never going to So I feel like we just let's park that Forget about it, remove it from the memory Oh dear the money's gone anyway by now isn't it So I know but it's spending done

It's not really not a priority On the spending list Can empty out there give her a train track Because I'm sick of this Anyway, sorry What about your dentist? You want to give me a train track In fact, I don't want train track guys

No hate on train track But it's not even that I think I'll speak funny And it's not great for a podcaster Is it? Don't know Anyway, sorry It just popped out of my mind there

Anyway, also So what else I've been up to is I solo parented for four days And it was so good Because She's now a single mom Honestly, I might as well be he was so well-behaved

thank the Lord it's like he knows but I did a few things for some friends we went to a new play cafe in Hamilton actually guys it's called host it's gorgeous you'll have seen me share it by now

if you follow me on Instagram really nice I took him swimming he swam underwater for three whole seconds more than I can do me but the swim teachers that I've got is brilliant I just go to a swimming baths

like not far from me and I think I'll pay like six £6 a month to be a member. Wow. And yeah, she just literally like, right, submerge him and she pushes him under the water. And I have to dive down and get him and let go of him for three seconds.

I was like, oh my God. He was fine. He's such a water baby. He loves it. I know this is a brutal thing to think about, right? But how long can they last before? I don't know. I don't ask that question.

I wouldn't like to find out. How long can I leave my child in there before I need to save them? But she was saying, in her classics, because she teaches older kids in another swimming baths. And she said, I could throw these kids in the water, fully clothed. Now you see them doing America. And they will flip and turn on their back and float. She would essentially, yes, you are here to learn how you teach her a child to swim in the long run. But also it's for safety measures.

If anything happened, they will know how to swim. And I am so glad that I started him young because I would have hated him to have the fear of water. I think skiing lessons next. See, I was thinking that, you know. But Richard's never been skiing. Yeah. So, and now he's not playing football anymore. He can.

That's why we never went together because he's, I don't think as a footballer you're allowed to go skiing because I don't think you're insured. Yeah. But I was thinking we should maybe do that and Rich could, I think he'd like to snowboard. But how cute him and Jen's is snowboarding? He'd actually would definitely snowboard. Yeah, of course he would. It has to be different, doesn't he?

Yeah. Oh, honestly. Anyway, and then we went up to Locke Lomond and we went to Sea Life and there's a little turtle there. called April that's been saved from the Maldives. She was found with one fin wrapped in plastic bags. And she's been there for like 12 years, I think, and she's so cute. She can't actually go under the water, so she floats.

And she was right at the screen with Johnson. Something to do with, I can't remember, but something to do with her fin, I think. Or her lungs, sorry, something was wrong with her lungs. What are we, Saul? I know. She's old. Is it a shame she's trapped in there?

Of course it's a shame, yeah, but they can't put her back into the wild. There was a whole big room And the information about it Yeah If they put her back into the world She wouldn't have survived And she was in the Maldives

Then she went to somewhere else first And then she came to Lachlomond And is living her final days here Fucking out She's real travelled But she was with loads of other fishes In that in the huge tank Fed well

I mean it's not nice I know but I wouldn't mind if fish as a pet I had a fish as a pet So did her What were they called Also my cats Are my pets

And they live in my house don't go outside No I just mean in general Mine's a fish Oh right But it's a full tank And cleaning it and all that It's quite a big process

My stepdad has lots of fishes In his pond They're like his pride and joy by the way In his pond outside Loves them And they live a great life I think My name is called Flounder From Little Mermaid

Love that Original There was lots of Nemo's there I'd call it Nemo You'd just have to Neimo Do you know I also went I went to the Tooton Carlin

Moon experience at the SEC, which by the time this podcast out, it's definitely on until the end of October. I risked it. So I went to the brunch with the girls. I went to Haleen Canteen, which is back open, guys. It's on the end of Dunbarton Road. So good. Really, really nice, guys. So we slept through my alarm. And then I thought, you know what? I'm actually going to go and do this on my own. And that's the thing with having a baby, right? You just, you're not on your you know, you are. And I would never, ever, ever have done something like that before. I would never have gone to this exhibition on my own. But I took him to Calvin Grove Museum, he loved it.

So I thought, you know what? I'm going to take him to this exhibition, because I've seen on TikTok that it's got like an immersive room where it's all lights and stuff. It's really cool. Sinsity. Yeah, got to the door, and she was like, yeah, it's full today. I knew it was because I couldn't buy a ticket online,

but I thought I'm going to risk it. I had him in my carrier facing forward, flooded his little eyelashes. And she went, how far have you come? I went, oh, I'm in an oldington, 20 minutes. She went, how far have you come? Two hours? I was like, yeah, two hours.

She went, when my manager comes down, say three. I was like, okay. Oh my God, I was so sweet. Didn't even need to say anything. The manager came down and she went, the woman said to her, it's just her and him. And she went, oh, aren't you cute? It's a little bit more expensive on the day, though.

I was like, how much more? She went about an extra £3.50. I was like, sold. Let me in. I was in there for about two hours. What I will say is definitely go for the kids. If you've got kids that are older than Jensen, like Allen's kids age, that would be perfect because there's a VR experience room.

So you put the goggles on and there's two rooms like that. Obviously, he can't do it. But I sat down in one of the chairs because the man was like, would you like to do it? I said, well, I can't really put goggles on whilst my son's on my lap. But anyway, he goes, we'll just hold out in front of you. Kept putting it in front of his eyes. You kept going,

that's his communication at the moment he started doing this weird fake hacking coughing and apparently it's a development stage of them being aware of their social surroundings and attention seeking classic my son he's absolutely doing that he's loving weaning so much he's doing really well with that thank fuck because it's about time I've had some look with that child

him being a foodie is all I need in life that's all we need nothing more to ask guys he eats Everything. Every single thing there's not like, not disliked. I'm so proud of him. Bless him. Do you know what I need to tell you? Tell me right now. I tried that opo. Not opo. Oro. How'd you say that? The Italian? How'd you say that?

Oro. Oro? Oro. Don't know. Oro. I don't know, but it's in the south side. Didn't rate it. Wow, thoughts. People really hype that up. there's nothing special to me sorry about that

but we got pastas and there is a full pizza situation going on where you build your own pizza you can make it like a calzone or stuff crust or stone baked or whatever it might be there's like three different options and you've got all the top and so I don't know if that's what people love about it

yeah but I just wasn't blown away and I actually think quite expensive yeah like I would rather just go to Don Costanzo I should never have cheated on them Don Castanza is expensive though We love them That's my lesson learned

But there's a lot of people that would That would say that about Don't Costanza Don't believe you They do I don't believe it But they're like Can't hear you Do you know what it is

It's because it's a classic Italian La la la la la la That I guess you probably don't appreciate that It's just authentic And people are probably wanting The Shmoozy No

I don't like Shmozy Gloria Stratoria type Italian I don't actually mind them to be fair like when you're maybe in a big group and stuff like that it's a bit of something something but I think for a wee night out I like a authentic restaurant I like that Zoe

talking to restaurants quickly and this one sticks and sushi is coming to George Square that's mega for Glasgow do you know what that is? Yeah it's a London chain well when I live there 10 years ago me and Rich used to love going there was only a couple then but I used to go to the one in Covent Garden

but hopefully it's still good because you kind of know how things get eventually but that is still good for Glasgow though absolutely I thought it would go to Edinburgh but the more we can get the better big it up yeah right we've got two dilemmas to end on let's do it then we'll go over to Patreon but I just want to quickly say

that a product that I love I usually say this over on Patreon but I think we should say it on here because tell me now we get questions on our skin a lot but I am loving again Paula's choice B-H-A exfoliant tonic toner. Yeah.

But I was saying to Zoe in the car this morning, so I've been using it just on a cotton pad before I go to bed and I wake up. Seriously, without Botox at the moment, it's Botoxing. Right? I look in the mirror and I'm like, wow. But last night, I didn't have any cotton pads left,

so I just rubbed it in my hands and popped it on with my hands and patted it in and the results were insanely better. And you said to me, that's how you always put toner on your face. No, I do. I don't, you see when you used ordinary one years ago, I used a cotton pad for that. Yeah.

but I feel like the ones these days they've got so much goodness in it that if you're using a pad it's just sort of takes it away half of it's not even getting on your skin and think about it if you go for a facial and stuff and they use all these things they just use their hands

yeah so true I put keels eye cream on last night because it needs a bit of hydration but I also bought I'll mention my haul over on side dish but I bought the cordially eye cream instead and I put that on this morning

nice yeah and then Jilly was complimenting my makeup put a healing canteen she's like why do you look so glowing all i've been doing is putting i'm back on the elf you know how we the elf foundation or the charlotte talbotty dupe yeah really like it i think it's matching my tan skin at the moment and then the chanelle bronzer that i copied off you with a big massive buffing brush sorry can't beat the shale bronzer in my opinion and road freckle um road blush and shade freckle that it's all it's all it's is on my base.

Elf Foundation, Chanel Brunza. Glory, gorgeous, perfect. Love it. Lovely, good. And I still, lovely, pretty, amazing, gorgeous girl.

And I'll always love the Merit Foundation Stick. I'm actually been using that as a bit of, like, my top-up to matify it a bit and put it under my... Wow. I just love that Merit Foundation Stick.

It's fucking great. I can't believe I've not purchased that. Oh, it's bloody brilliant, Zoe. It's amazing. Usually you say I do and I've not done nothing. Yeah, you need to do. Time to check on the skies. It's another sunny day in Calgary.

He doesn't think we finish one thought today I think we've just said a lot to talk about weird because we've not left each other's sides We have been non-stop Right We have two dilemmas Rock on, baby, let's go We love it when you share these with those

We've got quite a lot here But we'll just pick out two I'll close my eyes, close my eyes I'll pick that one right there Not tactical My best friend and bridesmaid wants to get married where I did Not sure how I feel about this

Thoughts So that's the one person It's the best friend Who's the bridesmaid Yep Oh right, okay Okay So it's like you wanting to get married

Where I got married Am I your bridesmaid? I'm not getting married So no I've got thoughts thank fuck because to speak about it I feel like it's very conflicting right because one I feel like come on let's have our own day

let's have our own separate day right but then it's kind of like a name for a child situation see if you've wanted that forever and it's such a big day and it's such a big memory. You should not do what you want because of someone else. Do you know what I mean?

I 100% I know what you mean. I've got the geekers. Why? Because I'm funny. Yeah. I 100% agree with you on that. What are your thoughts on a bit in sharing baby names, though?

So let's say, for example, back to the dilemma yeah I know but it's the same sort of thing yeah because I guess it's like did they know they both wanted to go there speaking of the dilemma that's a good question yeah or did the friend get married

and then she thought wow I love it here I'm going to get married here I don't know I don't know if I think it's nice for you to go back to your wedding venue though and do it all again as the bridesmaid i know and then what's really going to be the same some pictures why does it matter really doesn't really matter but i can understand why you feel weird about it though no i know because i think it's so we've obviously not got married so maybe you can't relate

to how maybe like personal it feels yeah and maybe she'll her lasting memories of that venue won't be her wedding anymore it will actually be her best friend's wedding yeah but then also when it's your best pal you've probably got similar taste Like we would probably like a similar sort of vibe for things So it's like Also depending on where you live And what your options are Maybe you're limited

Yeah But you can go back there with your now husband And party and enjoy it And just relive it again Yeah I think just embrace it Yeah I think you've got your memories, photos Everything there

And she'll have hers And they will be different And how cute that you were probably Both each other's bridesmaids At each other's wedding But also in the same place Yeah it's quite cute actually Thinking about that

I think we just need to switch your narrative You know Yeah. But equally, I do think you're very valid for feeling quite weird about that. Do you? Yeah. It really depends the dynamic of the friendship, because there is a lot of best friends.

I think there's always one that kind of almost like leads the friendship a wee bit and maybe the other one's just kind of falling in your footsteps. Maybe you feel that quite a lot. Like obviously I lead the friendship and you follow in my footsteps. I copy everything that you do. I feel like that. Maybe that's why I can relate. Where are you going to get married?

I'll copy. Right, next one. Dating. I'm trying to adjust to a nice guy rather than a bastard. That's quite a good one actually because I think there's a lot of people out there that are so trauma bonded by toxic relationships. And when they do meet a nice guy, it's kind of like that's an ick. They find you too much. Yeah.

And it's a shame actually because I personally do, and I've always said, nice guys, Nice guys always finish first. And not last? Yeah. Because I was kind of in that situation as well, if I'm honest. Did you think Richard was a nice boy? Yeah. He was too nice.

Everything was too nice. I got a text back too quick. Jason was exact same. Never kept me hanging. There was no game playing. There was no bullshit. How far did you realize he was also a dick? When did you realise you were dating an idiot?

It did take me a while. No, Rich is not a dick at all. I do think. he stayed true to himself the whole time and I actually switched the narrative and found that so masculine, so attractive. Yeah, me too.

And I actually realised that this is probably and what us is what we need as women. We need to have a man that's so sure of himself he makes it known that you are what he wants rather than playing the field and always keeping you guessing. Who can be asked to just have that anxious feeling? I'd had it all the time with X's.

There's actually nothing worse than that when you think about it. waiting for him to text back and just never know where you're standing. Honestly, girls, if you're ever going to text back? If you're in that situation and you listen to this, just seriously, they are not worth your time. But I also feel like, I wouldn't say Jason's typically like, oh, he's such a nice boy. No. As in that icky way, there's not really much to them.

But I think he from the start was very like, I want you and I want you to get you. And that's probably why I liked it. Yeah. It was difficult because it was cold for times. I remember being like, I can't. can't keep telling you what I'm up to because I'm like I'm not doing anything. Yeah, there's nothing I've done today. Like we're not allowed to leave the house. But

I do just think you can be a bit of both like not that you want to have a bad boy right but you still want someone who sticks up for themselves and like... I mean we all like a bad boy. This is the problem. We've watched too many films. I think you can get it in different ways.

Like you want a guy who looks after it and makes you feel special and everything but you don't necessarily want to walk all over the either, because I wouldn't find that attractive in a guy if I could just say and do whatever I wanted and you just let me. That's true. I know when you don't have it, you're like, I wish you would just let me do what I want. But

you kind of want them to just, you just want to be equal, I think. Yeah, that's true. Because with Rich, when you say like a nice, kind point, let me tell you now, it's still bad at the fuck out of someone if someone tried to hurt in the street type thing. Like, you want someone that's going to stick up for you.

Yeah. Not whimper away. No, I know. 100%. equally he's emotional he's honest yeah I think it's just in the early stages when you're so used to that sort of toxicness you kind of that's kind of what brings excitement a wee bit

it is so I think when you've got a really nice guy you're kind of like especially when it comes to like sexual stuff as well I think there's a lot of toxic relationships when it comes to the bedroom as well they sort of have makeup sex There's a lot of people like that. They'll fight and row and it's all

because it's so fiery in the bedroom and they love it, they crave it. That's just not realistic in my opinion. And it's just not sustainable, is it? That's movie shit to me. It's such a realist to me. But we're over that now, girlies. We're moving on, give the nice men a chance.

Yeah. It'll be worth it. How's the dating apps going, girls? What's the best one? I think it's still hinged from what I hear. I really would like people to actually send is in some nice dating app success stories. Yeah.

I mean, there's a lot out there. It's how people meet these days. I know. So there must be. Right, there's a few more, but we can carry that over onto side dish. Okay, what a lovely, funny, chaotic, crail the app. Welcome back, eh? Also, by the way, we just want to say thanks for all the love on last week's episodes with our guest, Georgia.
