Starting point is 00:01:10 So it's girls only Yeah, why is you not? No man allowed Because Alan's not out there Oh yes, so he's not Anyway, we've got a painter Arriving at our office around the corner Which Alan's just gone to kindly let him in for us
Starting point is 00:01:20 Because it needs a good lick of paint And we're busy Book to busy baby You're sitting here To chat to you all How are you then, Zoe? What's the chat? What's been a lot on your plate this week? Well, I went to a new restaurant in Hamilton, a local. Oh my God, so you did.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Sophia's. Which is the same owner as Santa Lucia, which we absolutely buzz our little titty's off over it. Correct. It was nice. Was it? Yeah. I'm not like wall blown away, socks off. Yeah. But it was good for a local. Like, it's a nice wee one. You can walk around to, there's a wee bar up the stairs. You can get a wee drink.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Nice chill afterwards. Yeah, I would recommend it It's Italian But also it's right next to another Italian I thought they'll be filming Italiano or something Italiano Italiano
Starting point is 00:02:07 Clever, I like that Italiano Yeah, that's right So I ate there and it was nice And I got a sausage pasta Classic Nothing on yours of course And we randomly got roast potatoes
Starting point is 00:02:24 Right Well potato No they weren't roast potatoes because they were just potatoes with, like rosemary on them. They're unbelievable. Sometimes you just need a tattie involved. Always a tattie. I genuinely think tatties needs to be on every meal.
Starting point is 00:02:38 As a side and amongst it, a tattie just needs to be involved. You know, when we were at homegrown last week and we shared a photo of it and someone was like, look at that sad, lonely tattie scar on its own. I'm like, but that has to be a thing. Like if there's hash browns or tattie scorn on the menu, we have to have them. Chips, roasted, mash, mash, dotho, any sort of potato. A doffinwa. Wow, I know posh, but gorge.
Starting point is 00:02:59 And I have a bit of a dolphin. Well, by the way, an adolphin was good. Labor and love to make. But so good. Wow. So went in there. I also had a spicy mark to start. Was it good?
Starting point is 00:03:11 That was my starter. It was a cocktail. Really nice. And then I had a big fat glass of red wine. Oof. It's been a while. Me and red wine. Was it a good red?
Starting point is 00:03:22 I actually just said giving the house red and it was really good. Mm. Massive glass. Then we went upstairs and I had an apparel. Do you know what? I saw this, I thought. She's mixing the drinks. But three, it's only three drinks. No, I know, but from what we said last week,
Starting point is 00:03:35 Jason said I was pissed and I wasn't. By the way, I would be wasted on those three drinks there. I think I was merry. Yeah. Wine just gets you that, like, loose airy, you know? So I think I was just loose. Love that. Then we walked round the roads.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Love that because it's not too far from you, is it? No. It was a gorgeous wee evening, to be honest. And that is honestly all I've put in my gub that's of interest to talk about. retract there's another place when I forget I went to Angels breakfast yesterday thoughts really enjoyed it
Starting point is 00:04:05 did you have the breakfast or the brunch right breakfast I think I had the you know there's the chili avocado eggs and it's a bit of sourdough
Starting point is 00:04:20 smashed avocado like creamy avocado I like that two bits of Hulomi I don't love Hulomi No, I don't love it Fuck it, I'll take it And it's meant to be post-eggs But I asked for scrambled Okay, nice
Starting point is 00:04:33 Oh, and there's a chili jam on it as well Nice It was really good Sounds like the brunch menu though Well, the only reason I It was the same menu But I think it's just depending what time it was But it was 10 o'clock
Starting point is 00:04:42 It was 10 o'clock It was 10 o'clock Yeah, I would have been that then Because the actual breakfast menu That I was buzzing about Was the Asai bottle Because you know, I just love the consistency I was going to get it
Starting point is 00:04:52 But you know what I'm like I eat the toppings And then I'm kind of done And I'd been to Pilates so I kind of needed like, you know, about 14, I know, God, look at me going. And then when I went home, I ate five chocolate bars, so, you know, balance. Balance and all that. But I went there, I also went to Bicca.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yeah, I was going to say you went there yesterday. Bisa, how'd you say it? Well, they'd just launched some phenomenal-looking matches on their Instagram. Banana bread. Seen it. I'm really into that at the minute, banana bread lattes or, I just love it. Obviously, I didn't get a matcher, I got a coffee. I'm going to tell you something right now.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Tell me right now. Wasn't deeuf. Were you? flying to the moon. My whole body was heavy. I was like, I did wait. That's how it makes me feel. It's like I'm heavy but jittery.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah. I'm kind of like there's a vibration going on. I don't enjoy it. Honestly, guys, I'm going to go to coffee prison, but I instant over a machine coffee every day for me. I just fucking love it. I honestly would agree with you. I don't think it gives me the jitters.
Starting point is 00:05:51 When you do go to these proper coffee places, which can I say I do still really love and enjoy. But it's too proper. But they are proper. It's giving you your caffeine fix. Yeah. But we did share a pistachio quasson and it was really good. That looked delicious to be fair on your Instagram.
Starting point is 00:06:08 But honestly that is the three things I've done since we were last in here. That's them. Well, after we came here last week, we went to Stretch. And that. Yeah, but you haven't, you didn't either. No, I know, but. No, actually, we did. We had a little nice, we said it on the vlog on Patreon.
Starting point is 00:06:23 So we did. We had a salmon potato salad. from Yusebi deli's deli counter. I obviously have not done anything but I have. Because we went to naked soup to go and get some lunch and you know what it's like with naked soup at one o'clock, prime time, who can be fucked. So we then went around to Yusebi deli and was like, okay, we'll give it a bash. Salmon and tatties, so good.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It was good. But anyway, we went to Stretched, which is a assisted stretching. I wouldn't say it's like physio, but it's giving that feel but in a more trendy cool way. So basically, Stretched is going to be a franchise. It's actually opening up in Edinburgh very soon, Manchester later on in November. And I think they're just going to try and go a little bit global, to be honest with you. I love that for them.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I think they have paths of being physiotherapist. But anyway, you go in there and have assisted stretching. So think yoga, all that jazz. Somebody's doing it for you. But they're doing it for you and the feeling feels so good. Well, you can see what areas you want to focus on. so I did my hamstrings because they're so beyond tight all the time stretcher's fault
Starting point is 00:07:32 yeah from all that squatting stretchers fault yeah so she did more lower body with me but you got more upper body didn't you yeah because my neck's just so sore so we focused on that and it was brilliant I really really recommend that and afterwards we went down to you because stretch where who was at our wellness event if any of you came to bad they were doing um squat analysis well yeah move analysis on your body to tell you kind of like what your posture was like blah blah anyway then we did the infrared sauna and they've got these three different ice plunge
Starting point is 00:08:05 pools at the bottom so you could hire it out to your whole self which we did you can have it for an hour and they advise you to go into the cold plunge and then infrared and keep swapping so Zoe hasn't done it before have you no and you did it which I was very proud of you because I didn't think he was going to get you in there at all I went to med thigh because I don't bring a swim suit so I had my pants on which obviously I had to wear beyond the appointment but that's the coldest sore you were tingling I was tingling actually no it's aching it's like a tight ache that was happening in my legs when I got out of it though I lasted like 30 seconds yeah but it's just good you know that is good 30 seconds if you even 30 seconds I've even 30 seconds is good but I don't think you
Starting point is 00:08:49 were in there that long I think you're exaggerated we'll give it 10 But it's better than nothing because I was like, no it's not for me I want a hot bath I don't want a nice bath But what I will say is And I don't know if this is all your head It can't be because I have felt like a piece of dog shit
Starting point is 00:09:06 For six and a half months I'm knackered Right so I went into the easy There's like different plungeable stuff Easy intermediate Beginner And intermediate expert probably Freak
Starting point is 00:09:19 So then we went into the beginner For like a few seconds And I was like oh my god shit this is really freezing cold. So then I went straight back into the intermediate and that was a piece of piss. I don't know what it is
Starting point is 00:09:31 but I think once your body's already cold and you're numb less shot. Going back into it, yeah. And I could say I was in there for ages wasn't I? I just don't know how you did that.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Came out, went into the infrared and my body felt amazing. I felt on top of the freaking world all that day. Slept great, restless legs. I think there's a lot of science behind it. No, there absolutely is. Because what we were saying
Starting point is 00:09:52 was you feel really relaxed that you could doze off but at the same time your eyes are wide awake yeah because I've got heavy eyes all the every day but my eyes were not heavy
Starting point is 00:09:59 they were light as a feather my eyes were light I'd really recommend it honestly I think it was really good I enjoyed myself and something else that we've been doing well
Starting point is 00:10:11 I tried to rope Zoe into my hot what hot Pilates mat class which is a you roped me in no I know I do But I've been trying to rope you in for a while to come back
Starting point is 00:10:25 But then I was like, right, come on So you came and I was like, it's really bloody hard Lucy's the teacher, she's great there Well, in fact, I think all the teachers are incredible But I do love Lucy because I've been to a few of her classes In previous places And it's at the holistic warehouse in Delmanic But there's also one in Clyde Bank
Starting point is 00:10:41 The Hot Matt class there is solid, guys You don't need to go to these reformer classes Which again, I still love But don't ever like Underestimate the mat. On mat Pilates. What the flying fuck? I was sore the next day.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Saw. Yeah. And she uses the ball, she uses the band. What's the other thing that she used? We weights. The wee weights. They were like one KG.
Starting point is 00:11:10 We were like, I was literally like, she gave me 20 and I'm like not a problem. Then you go to Mac Pilates and I can't left one. What is that? Because the difference. Reformer is hard in ways because you're pushing against the resistance, right? And guys, we're not exaggerating it. It was one KG.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Not was actually one KG. But the reformer also assists you. Yeah. So like even though you're maybe really pushing the weight with your leg, the rest of your body's held in a position if you're lying down against the shoulder pads, whatever it might be, right? But with Matt Palathe, there's no support. Your body's doing everything. It's so hard. Reminds me of a story right. I was telling Zoe this, but I've seen a TikTok. I think it was Grace Beverley actually and she was saying that she'd went to a Pilates class called Legree. Oh yeah. And it's based in America but I have no words to describe this type of class
Starting point is 00:12:03 right. But all I can tell you is, you know how I've been a member of Class Pass for a good amount of years now. When I went to New York to visit a friend that was working there, probably about two summers ago now actually, God, that's gone fast, isn't it? Not last May, but May before. Yeah. And went on Class Pass and I saw this class class. And I saw this class. called, I don't know, it's called like Soul Something. I thought, perfect. I'll do a nice Pilates class, Reformer. I got there, guys, I shit you fucking not.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I could not believe the abs and the fitness levels of the girlies in there. I was like, listen, at that point, I was pretty into my fitness as well. And I thought, I cannot do one single exercise. No, I take that. The guy was, I don't know what, he was on speed or something, but he was just like, you know, and you can't understand what they're saying, because everyone in the class has been to his classes and on time. So I actually take stuff with that as well.
Starting point is 00:12:53 They're allowed. What is it called? Adderall. Yeah. And it's like a focus thing, but it like... It's ADHD, isn't it? Yeah. Maybe it was on that. Anyway, you know when somebody goes to a class and they understand the way they speak?
Starting point is 00:13:06 Yeah. But I was like, I can't keep up with this. But it was amazing. Anyway, I thought, what the flying fuck? That was the hardest Pilates class I've ever done. I ended up voic noting Julie after it because I know she liked all that at the time. I was like, Jillie, I've just done a Pilates class in America. It's a different gravy over there.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Anyway, watch Grace Beverley's TikTok. I ended up logging into my class pass just to check what that was. And it was that legree. I don't think it's actually here in the UK yet. It might be one in London at the moment. I think there might be one in London, I'm sure I've seen someone at it.
Starting point is 00:13:37 But if you ever see it or anyone wants to bring that to Glasgow, please do, because for anyone that's past the Pilates or wants to get serious core, and they're like... But what's the difference? I do not know how to describe it to you, Zoe. Is the reformer bed different? Yeah. It's bigger, it's wider, and it's like got grids on it.
Starting point is 00:13:56 And all I can describe it is, you know, when you do a, if you've ever done a thing on the floor while you're moving your like a mountain climber and you've got those like slippy things under your feet. Yeah. Think like that for an hour. No. Type shit. Sorry, it's enough for me. Honestly, the people in the class, I was like, you guys are phenomenal women because I could never.
Starting point is 00:14:15 My court said no. My core is tragic. Listen out for this legris. You might start hearing it in the next couple years because it is the hardest I don't want to do it because then we'll need to do it
Starting point is 00:14:25 and I don't want to do that. We need to be a sheep and do it as well. No, I don't want to go through that pain. No. You're enjoyable. I did it once and I can confirm it was rock solid.
Starting point is 00:14:34 But anyway, the holistic warehouse is really good. I'm loving it. I went on Wednesday I go Saturday or Sunday morning to the former Pilates and I was sore after that I'm actually still sore
Starting point is 00:14:43 seeing right in your leg between your leg and your vulva shall we say? that's painful we love the boba and I was dreading going to Richard this morning because of that but I had to cancel him to come here early
Starting point is 00:14:58 so what a shame but you were so sad about that he said it's so nice you're pretending to be disappointed I was a bit earlier anyway I was in Manchester at the weekend tell us all nothing to tell you
Starting point is 00:15:10 having a terrible time with Jensen I'm not going to lie perfect so Richard was driving around the part of Manchester where his mom lives at 3 o'clock in the morning trying to get him to sleep, which was tragic. But what I will say is with that, his mum's got some that lives with him there.
Starting point is 00:15:29 So I don't think we could, I didn't really feel comfortable letting him cry for like a longer than two seconds because I didn't want to wake them up. So that probably made us feel a bit more on edge, different place to sleep. But yeah, I'm definitely having a really tough time the past couple weeks. A tooth's come through. So let's just blame it on teeth. We'll blame everything on teething. We're blaming to us. But, yeah, the sleep is, it's killing me, guys.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I'm not going to lie. I've had a really tough couple weeks, maybe weak. He was great for me when I was solo parents in the week before last, and then shit's hit the fan. So, yeah, I'm a corpse right now. Well, you don't look like one. Thanks. I don't know how I'm alive.
Starting point is 00:16:08 But we'll get there, we'll get there. So that's what's probably in a lot on my plate, is a teething child. Exhaustion. Yeah. But so Manchester probably was a little bit clouded with the fact that we were both really knackered. But it was so nice to see his mom. And actually his mom came up to us. She sat downstairs and she came up at 12 midnight because she heard him cry, bless her.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So she actually took him downstairs, which in my head, I didn't want to over-stimulate him and keep him awake because I knew that it would fuck us the next day. But he stayed with her. We needed sleep. And then she came up and got him again at 7 in the morning. So we got a couple hours sleep there. And honestly, cherish any support or grandparents that you have in your life because what the fuck. I'm sad that I don't have this. I know what we're going to do about this. I don't know. Someone needs to move here or you're going to need to leave.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I'm not leaving, no. Thank fuck. But I'm not. I just had to put two options out there. But me and Zoe are going on a work trip next, week after next. I think week after next. No, I've still got a few weeks. Is it? Three weeks. I think it's three weeks today. we're going to London for two days and then when I get back I'm actually going on another work trip to Copenhagen for the night now when I saw this come through
Starting point is 00:17:26 it's obviously an amazing opportunity and I really wanted to go if you listen to Siders you'll know that I am actually going to Copenhagen with Richard the week before on two nights so this is separate if you're confused it only came through like two days ago so I said it to Rich I was like
Starting point is 00:17:40 look I've got this opportunity it's one night in Copenhagen so I will be back after London I really want to go and he said fuck it of course go like Jensen's fine we've got enough milk
Starting point is 00:17:52 he's on solids but he has asked his mum to come up for that week so his mum is coming to stay and help because if he looks after Jensen a week he can't work and that can't happen so difficult yeah so his mum's coming up for that week then my mum is coming up the week before
Starting point is 00:18:08 for a full week and then my dad and Emma are up the following week for three days so I am going to feel injected with grandparents and sleep I'm buzzing about that. Energy. Guys, the hotel in London doesn't know what the fuck's coming for it. I'm happy to stay there all day all night.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Zoe, I hope you understand that earplugs are going in. I might even pop some sort of like, over-dose myself on like CBD or some shit. I'm out for the count. I'm going to wake up at 7 o'clock and you're like, oh yeah. Yeah. So I'm so excited about that.
Starting point is 00:18:40 But I had in Manchester a Sunday roast at Blacklock. I've mentioned it before to you guys It looked unbelievable It's really good It's in London There's quite a few in London now I opened in Manchester last year It was relatively new
Starting point is 00:18:56 And I looked on their Instagram When I tagged them And they opened up in Birmingham So if you're based down south You've got that coming It's coming to a place near you Yeah It's really nice place to go
Starting point is 00:19:06 Gorgeous unlimited gravy Really good gravy The cheesecake there's really good I love a roast so much Yeah You don't really have them as much in the summer You kind of forget
Starting point is 00:19:15 about it for a while I think you do you know what I cooked last night Zoe you'd have loved it actually thought of you I bought a beef brisket from Tesco and I slow cooked it for a few hours in my lacrosse in my oven and I had pulled beef brisket with creamy mash broccoli and I thought cozy Zoe season is here it's here and it's here to stay for a long time six months at least and I'll end on this I went to Trafford Centre the way home because I thought I've got to do something fun while I'm down in Manchester and I went to the new Primark
Starting point is 00:19:49 home. Yeah. I saw it on Molly May's blog and she was buzzing her titty's off about it. Well it replaced home sense did it not? Oh! Now I haven't been to that part of Trafford Centre? I've not. It's just from her talking about it. It's sort of random retail park? No it's in the Trafford centre. Is it? But it's
Starting point is 00:20:04 the... Like you have to go across a long overhead tunnel thing to get to it and then it's all empty spaces there's random like burger places and a P. Louise pop up in the middle of it. Very random. Guys, I'm not sure what she was smoking, but it was shit. It was so crap.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Was it bank? Yes, massive. But it's so big to the point of they don't have enough stock. So there's like duplicates of, there's like 20 of the same pumpkin on a shelf. Yeah. But what I will say is maybe that YouTube, which is most likely what happened, went out to the masses. and she's sold out of everything because it was giving empty shelves
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah Also it depends what you're in and because shops like that are good at bringing out pumpkins and Christmas stuff but if you don't really do that in your house then there's not really much for you there is there Yeah very true It's quite season themed Yeah there was a few nice bits but
Starting point is 00:20:59 Nothing groundbreaking No but it just felt empty And I do think that's giving influence by Molly Mae Absolutely Honestly Fairfuck Sorry Perry Shan Is that her name? Perry Sean
Starting point is 00:21:09 Must be runs in the premarks Why? What do you mean? Because that's all they talk about. It's how good Premark is. Oh really? Because she does those nice songs. There's fuck all in it. I don't see anything good in Premark.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I don't see anything good in Primark or Zara. However, if you go to Zara on a Tuesday day, that's a good tip for you. It's great. Is that factual information? I'm going to say it's factual information. You think it's Delivery Day?
Starting point is 00:21:36 I think it's Delivery Day and a Tuesday's a day where most people tend to work in office. If you have like a long weekend, you might have a Monday or Friday, but Tuesday it's been replenished. You're usually back in the office. Yeah. Maybe not at home on a Tuesday either. But do you remember when you had Caroline on the podcast? She told you the delivery days for, um, Carolyn, sorry, for Zara.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Did she, I don't remember that? Yeah, she told us inside Goss that if you go on to Zara, a new in on a website, and I think it's a Thursday morning. Wow. She knows all the new in days for each of the good shops. must re-listening. We must re-listening for autumn outfits. Calgary, also known as the Blue Sky City. We get more sunny days than anywhere in the country, but more importantly, we're the Canadian capital of Blue Sky Thinking. This is where bold ideas meet big opportunity, where dreams become reality. Whether you're building your career or scaling
Starting point is 00:22:36 your business, Calgary is where what if turns into what. next it's possible here in calgary the blue sky city learn more at calgary economic development dot com i need to share i've got two random thoughts let's hear it love it they're going to make me seem thick as shit but what's new right i love it i was thinking about when you send someone money right and your bank account balance on your phone or at a cash point machine or in a bank right where is that money like that's not real money
Starting point is 00:23:15 no I know so what how am I transferring you a tenor but there is no tenor because it's get did you get what I mean by that I do know what you mean like how have we all got say we all have a thousand pounds in our bank account right where is that like look in here there's seven people
Starting point is 00:23:33 yeah where's that seven grand though right so Is it just in the ether? Yeah. I remember looking into this before because it's a little bit similar to how that crypto started.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's not a real thing, but it's got a value of it. You've got to imagine that money has started. It's put a price on something and the value of it goes up the more people want it. So it's not a real thing.
Starting point is 00:24:01 No, I know. But it is a real thing. But you might be able to help us here. It feels real. It feels real when it's a physical normal. on your hand or a pound coin though but what like when I send you a tenor like how does that mean you've got a tenor now it doesn't really but
Starting point is 00:24:15 you do also have one it's just taking that way from my balance and put it in yours but there's no tenor really being exchanged yeah because you're thinking of that's only because you're comparing it to cash like physical notes which if you think about it
Starting point is 00:24:29 are kind of not a thing that much anymore well it is but a lot of places only accept card if my RBS balance is a thousand pounds Yeah. There's not like a drawer with my name on it with £1,000 sitting in it. No, but you could make that happen if you withdrew it.
Starting point is 00:24:47 No, I know. It's just the connection of it's fucking weird. Anything to input, Emory? Well, ask the lawyers. Wait a minute. Yeah, let's ask the lawyers. It's like data. It's like data.
Starting point is 00:25:01 So if you think of it as you're having like 100, like, coins. Like, see, like if you're playing like Mario and you've got coins, things like that, something like that. Yeah, but that's, it's doing like Bitcoin. It's just a different way of currency. It's a different form of, I don't know how to, I don't know how to explain that to you in a simple sense because.
Starting point is 00:25:21 No, because I know exactly what you're saying, but I think it's weird. Like, if you think about it, money was never a thing at one point in the world. Somebody had to bring it in for some structure and to, like, fair trade-offs with things. Like they, back in the day it would have been like, hi, I'll give you one sheep if you give me,
Starting point is 00:25:37 I don't know. 10 donkeys Something like that Yeah Everything was fair That sheep was class As currency So it's just changed over time
Starting point is 00:25:47 And become this Goal coins Like I totally get how it works And I get it Yeah But I think it's weird It is weird Like I think it's just weird
Starting point is 00:25:55 That one day My band says this But then I can top yours up But nothing really Actually has changed anywhere But it has though Would somebody like to comment On this episode
Starting point is 00:26:02 And tell us it in simple terms What the fuck money is well I think the whole point is it's not really anything as you said yeah it's just people put a price on something and we just to use the money that we have to buy it but it's the same thing that you get a gift card
Starting point is 00:26:17 like how the fucks are a tenor on that do you know what I mean though yeah anyway my other thought was see when strawberries are in season yeah why right this is going to freak people out of this
Starting point is 00:26:36 right. When it's strawberry season, the date on the strawberries in the shops, basically the day of the day you're at or the next day, right? Right. The best before date is the day you're buying them or the day after. They're never any further than that because they're obviously in season and they're coming to the shops fresh. From your country. Okay. So I bought strawberries yesterday and the date was four days from now. And I thought... Where was the origin of the strawberries? I don't know. I don't know. I didn't look at that.
Starting point is 00:27:06 But I thought, is that? Is that because they're like factory made now? Or preservatives. Are they like fake strawberries? Um, well, you should have looked at the origin of the strawberries for a start. I would never do that. Well, you should, by the way, because I'm going to say something right now. And it pissed me off in Tesco, right?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Well, it didn't piss me off, but I pissed myself off that I don't look at this enough. But farmed salmon, like, you know, there's a humongous farm, salmon farms everywhere. Yeah. And wild salmon is extremely expensive. Yeah. I found like if you all want to eat, everything's getting pushed on our throats to eat better and eat more organic, but then everything costs a million pounds.
Starting point is 00:27:47 But there was like, you know, the trays of salmon things in Tesco? Fresh salmon. Yeah, yeah. And I picked one up and what I've started to do is really look at the dates because all supermarkets push things that are out date at the front. Then if you're doing your weekly shop, everything goes out of date tomorrow, right? So I'll go to the back. But I looked at the two different dates and I noticed one was Norway
Starting point is 00:28:06 and one was Scotland from the same pack of thing and I'm like that's mad that what we should be doing is we should be shopping we should be picking up
Starting point is 00:28:15 the one from Scotland not the farmed salmon from Norway I'm not saying that farm salmon's better from either places but it's actually been it's better for the environment
Starting point is 00:28:23 for a start because it's not travelled as far but also surely that's fresher surely to fuck that's fresher so you'd like to think so so definitely have a little lucky look on that I'm going to look when I get home
Starting point is 00:28:33 where they're from well there's strawberries in the supermarket now bear in mind strawberry season is probably just about over. There's a few things that are fresh now. Like, figs are really good in season now, if you like figs. I wouldn't know what to do, my fag. Put it on your porridge, you can roast them
Starting point is 00:28:47 and make them like honey-roasted figs, so good. Air-fried them for a few minutes. Exhausted. That's what I've got for you. Just eat a banana. You could blend them. Just put a banana in my porridge. But I don't know if bananas.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I don't know if you can. Bear of mind, there's a lot of things that you can't get in this country, such as avocados. I think I'm correct in saying that. What, as in they don't grow here? Yeah, like the climate's not hot enough for it. Wow. But if you can get British produce,
Starting point is 00:29:19 like in Scotland, for example, meat and fish is amazing. Like, Scotch meat is incredible, so is all the fish, some of the best. Like Scottish salmon is an only thing all over the world. And then, like, fruit and veg, strawberries. You can't beat British strawberries, in my humble opinion. I'm going to look at everything now when I buy an overthink and then have to stand and Google it for five minutes before I can put it in my basket.
Starting point is 00:29:37 But when you go to supermarket next, actually look, if you're looking at like a packet of salmon, don't look, just have a check if there is one from your hometown. But yeah, that was just a thought. I had I thought, am I now eating like un-frozen strawberries? I don't know. Do you what I mean, though? But another thing about frozen Zaz,
Starting point is 00:29:57 they do say that frozen fruit and veg is a bit better for you nutritiously because it's frozen at the time, so it's fresher and got more nutrients in it because people snub at frozen veg a lot, don't they? But actually, a lot of it is really good. I use frozen broccoli and frozen peas. Yeah. I mean, I don't really know anyone that eats
Starting point is 00:30:16 non-fresh peas, thoughts? Tinned peas, though. Ooh, no. That's what we've been eating for months in the flat because I don't know why because I've always had frozen peas when I lived at home. And then we went to my mum's one time, Jason was like, your peas are so good.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Oh, they're tin peas? No, they were frozen peas. So we now are getting frozen peas. Oh, I've never think to get frozen, tin peas. Tin sweet corn? Oh yeah. Who can be asked to scrape that off the cob? No, I would just bite it off.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Yeah. I would just then have a corn in the cob. Yeah, sorry, but I mean if I was adding it into something. No, I'd never do that. Yeah. But can you get frozen sweet corn? Yeah, you can because you can get it mixed. Yeah, of course you can.
Starting point is 00:30:55 God, you could really talk about these things all day, couldn't you? But to answer your question, it's probably just got loads of preservative. on it. I don't know, you can tell by the size of them. If they're really small, then they were tiny. And I thought, are you fake? A you fay? Timmu. Yeah, but then again, though, Timu strawberries, but then again though, you know, chicken breasts, things that are cheaper, they are bigger because they're pumped with water and to bulk them out. Actually, the more organic stuff is shrinker and smaller, even like vegetables and that. I won't be second. So maybe it was a good strawberry, Oz.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I mean, I had it in my yogurt bowl this morning and they tasted absolutely fine. I'm sure you were sound. And I'm fine. I'm sure it's worse, it's a point you bod. Absolutely. Are you looking to buy a 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.
Starting point is 00:31:54 So for straightforward, legal advice, remember Watermans. We're going to do the topic that we asked you ages ago. And whenever I get around to doing it, and it is, what frustrates you about your partner more than it should? So, like, stupid things that fucking wind you up. I've got, I could go on all day if you like. For example, everything I'm going to say is going to be you as well because you're quite similar in that department.
Starting point is 00:32:24 For example. Like, me personally or Richard? No, you personally. Fuck. Why is there a basket in the shower for all of our shower things and you put the things next to the basket put the shampoo and dish our back in that fucking basket it's there to hold our products
Starting point is 00:32:42 not for them to be scattered around the bottom of the shower because you know what that does gathers the dirt and then it's all dirty just put them in the fucking basket but then you do put your drink next to the coaster yeah I do and I also put the nappy next to the nappy bin
Starting point is 00:33:00 Only if it's a pea nappy. What's that all about, though? That is because I've got a child that is liking to launch himself off his mat. So as I'm trying to hold him with one hand, it's kind of hard to hold him and then flick the bin up and then put the nappy and sometimes I just, it's just too much to deal with. Saying that, Zoe, as much as he slags me off, did I go into the nursery this morning and find a nappy next to the changing mat?
Starting point is 00:33:23 Yes. That's what annoys me about my partner is how hypocritical he is when he's giving it all big licks on his high horse, like, probably you, and then he sits there and does the exact same thing. Yeah. And I'm like, but the thing is, those sort of things don't bother me that much, so I probably let them slide. But what I should start doing is taking photographic evidence,
Starting point is 00:33:43 which I did this morning and send it into on WhatsApp, like, you're a hypocrite. Do you ever think, well, I just start a list? Yeah, I'd love that. I think that quite a lot. So petty. Yeah, like, don't do it. Because if they did that, I'd be like, you're ridiculous. I'm embarrassed for you.
Starting point is 00:33:57 What else in all you should is more than it should? the whole sniffing up I can't sniffing yeah you know that groggy thing I'll even do it because today and spit
Starting point is 00:34:09 no it doesn't spit especially if he's got a cold it's all the time it's like unblocking your nose but from above and not blown into tissue yeah like oh my God no Zoe it actually does something to me
Starting point is 00:34:21 where it makes me twitch last night he was eating fruit and fibre in cereal and the noise that the milk makes and the spoon on his teeth and the chewing
Starting point is 00:34:37 I was honestly looking at him like I was glitching I was like you're so irritating and he's like I'm literally eating cereal but that is so annoying but you're annoying me everything that every noise that you're making is so beyond triggering
Starting point is 00:34:51 what my main thing is using things that don't need to be used yet So the toilet roll's not finished But you've put another one next to it And you've started using it That's me, I do that Why? I don't know It's not finished
Starting point is 00:35:05 I don't know Or the milk's not finished yet But you're opening the new one Because in case that's out of date But it's not out of date though Yeah, I probably wouldn't do that The date's still fine He's like it smells funny
Starting point is 00:35:15 But I'm like putting them in them Why it's still on the fridge That is definitely a man thing But I'm that type of person Oh that like if something's not exactly In the right position I'm annoyed about it it. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:35:29 Anyway, let's see what other people are saying. Watching shit on his phone, it's constant, I hate that. I want one noise at one time. Yep. Yeah, I have to tell them to turn reels down at night because it's just too much sensory overload. That's an open goal for me. Open goal if you're listening. Oh yeah, it's always on my TV. Going to take a break?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yeah, can we know. Why do you have 50,000 podcasts a week, open goal? Can we get a break from this? Cy Ferry, go to sleep. take a day leaves cupboard doors open annoying I just know you leave a door open I do
Starting point is 00:36:05 but I'm annoyed every single day I do this to Jason George my fingers and I'm tucking whatever it is that's stopping it from shutting in and then I just shut it and I'm like the sock
Starting point is 00:36:19 just needed to be pushed in and push shut it's as easy as that it's as easy as that my wardrobe's always open But the cat's like to go in there, she's fair enough. That's why I do do it, to be fair. We want to trap them in there.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Leave that excuse. Flips about like a fish when getting into bed. It moves all the covers and pillows when it's already comfy. Jason dives into the bed that does my tits in. Get in gently. Because he nearly wax me all the time. I'm like, I'm right here. Bed is a difficult one.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I agree. Because it's everyone's relaxation time. Talking of bed and relaxation time. When your baby spoon, and Richard tries to spoon me every night, right? The twitching. Yeah. I've ever said that before.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Why do I forget every night for the past 11 years that he twitches? And I then go, get off. Richard, and he's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But every time I forget, but that's just so annoying. I know you can't help it, it's your muscle's relaxing, but can we get over it? Take some magnesium or something. Take a bat. It's not working your muscles so hard, just be relaxed, always.
Starting point is 00:37:24 gulps when he drinks I hate the swishing around the mouth like his mouthwash Lucasade orange disgusting you're rotting your teeth rotting
Starting point is 00:37:35 wiggles his toes constantly have you ever been in bed with someone where they my mum does this where they constantly rubbed their feet together and they're just wanting to like feel their skin and I'm like can you stop
Starting point is 00:37:46 be one with their skin I don't know it's weird I'm not really a toes person anyway but I think that would annoy me I also notice that me especially but sometimes you do it too
Starting point is 00:38:00 when we're speaking on here we do that we're like we do that we're not we're not wiggling or like bouncing her leg I think it's like a remember I used to hit the mic I used to do that
Starting point is 00:38:11 but annoys me like why am I jerking my leg up and I don't even notice I'm doing it yeah pests breathes can be like oh so this is the awful He is the tidiest person ever. I love something out for two minutes and he's tidied it away.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Love that. Have you seen the TikToks of the guys literally making like a protein shake? No. So it's like the cup goes down and he turns to go into the cupboard to get the protein out and when he turns away the cups away. And then he gets the cup back out. He gets to the protein and then he pulls the protein out. And then he goes to get like the scoop and he turns out and it's all away again.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And the wife's just behind him. Is that you doing it? That's me. Biting his cutlery when he's eaten. Yeah. And only using a fork with no knife. Cutting food with a fork No
Starting point is 00:38:54 The teeth thing He scrapes yoghurt Off a spoon with his teeth No No Why I love when people swear And their wee message does
Starting point is 00:39:09 Because you can just feel the frustration Dries his hands with a hand towel Then hangs it over the side of the fucking bath Because there's obviously a handrail Yeah Doesn't screw the lid back on to anything I hate that Oh, this is all me
Starting point is 00:39:24 I know, I know it is. Like the teeth gel with Jensen Wright Richard, I have to admit it is so annoying but in the middle of the night when I'm trying to get this teeth gel on it the little tiny lid is fat it's gone and he sat on it in the car and it went all over his ass
Starting point is 00:39:38 he was like that's because you didn't put the lid on us what it is? I did pull it out the side of your colour day mine I said you want this in there because I had a bag and I said give me all your rubbish out your car it's tactical by the way and I picked that up and said
Starting point is 00:39:50 you want this and you're like just leave it in there for any day and I thought fuck's sake I wanted to get rid of that I wanted to get rid of that I know always starts hoovering before dust and drives them up though all that annoys me there's no point hovering
Starting point is 00:40:03 when you're about to put all the dust onto the floor correct there's more things to life than hoovering by the way do men know that no no it's the answer just leave certain items in the sink when doing the dishes or loading the dishwasher Jason does that
Starting point is 00:40:20 what do you mean I've got a wee dish that I put my avocado in. Let's see if you're half an avocado and then you put the other half in this dish in the fridge. Yeah. See if that's in the fridge, the sink amongst other things, or cookies lick mat. Yeah. Jason's unable to wash them. He says he doesn't know how to.
Starting point is 00:40:37 The lick mat, I can, the lick mat is probably a bit confusing, but... Well, funnily enough, I just use a scrubber and scrub it and rinse it and that's it. Not hard. Yeah, but with the scuba that you clean your dishes with, though? No, it's a separate one. Right, okay. It's one that's get proper bits because you get rid of it. and about it.
Starting point is 00:40:52 But why can't you wash my tupperware just because of my food in it and not yours? Yep. Fair. It's a thing. It's a thing. Ask me what's in the fridge, freezer
Starting point is 00:41:03 like I have an inventory in my head at all times. I think the most triggering thing that anybody does in a relationship is asking the question what's for dinner. Like, I have to admit that that must be the most annoying thing
Starting point is 00:41:18 in any relationship because it's like, I don't know, what do you want? I don't know. What do you fancy? Hate it. I don't know. What do you want? Like, what's in the fridge? I don't know. Goes to the shop.
Starting point is 00:41:27 What shall I get? You decide. But that's every day. Every day for the rest of my life. I know. I can't do that. I mean, what a privilege is that we can eat? But do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:36 It's just fucking. What a privilege to have this problem. But I hate the question when it's asked to you. And it's like you could just tell me or say, do you want this for dinner? And I would say yes or no. Why are you putting the question? me all the time but the problem is though as a woman which i can imagine is so triggering for men
Starting point is 00:41:57 is right what do you want i don't know make anything okay i'll go to the shop then and i'll go and get as a staff right no i don't want that yeah everything but that i didn't say something else going i don't want that either yeah what takeaway should we get um don't know what do you want chinese no i'm i'm not into that like we are the drama but i do think you need options pick from like just give me five options and I'll tell you the one I want because you only give me one I won't want it
Starting point is 00:42:27 because that's just life no one wants the first thing put socks in the washing basket rolled up together Richard does that but he says he does that to keep them together though but they can be getting washed out no but then you
Starting point is 00:42:41 as you put them in the drum you unfold it so he's making sure that you're not doing two separate loads with one in one load and one in the other I understand the logic there okay but you need to unfold them is what we're getting at here. Yeah, of course. Whereas I'm thinking he's putting the washing on,
Starting point is 00:42:55 brings them out, and then you're having it unfold them to dry them, but they're probably not washed. Yeah, yeah. Jason's got a thing weird depending on with shoes he's going, he'll maybe double up his socks. Sorry? Yeah. See, if he's got especially, like, shoes you would wear with a suit.
Starting point is 00:43:10 He obviously doesn't wear very often. Yeah. So we were at a funeral the other day, and he had those sort of shoes on. So he had black socks on, but he had three pairs on. To give him a bit of extra height, so a few more inches. No, I think.
Starting point is 00:43:21 It's because they rub his feet of the back, so he layers up the socks rather than putting, like, a plaster on. Surely that must be tight on the toes? But see, when I was bringing, yeah, I couldn't fit another sock in my shoe. See when I was bringing them out the washing, I undid it thinking it was two, and then I realised there was three. Like a bunting of socks. Yeah, it looked like one sock with those three there, in, like perfectly in. Random. Leaves toilet roll tubes sitting about and now hides them around the house for me to find.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Make it fun, why not? How funny are the tech talks of saying You need to get your man off the toilet And teach them how to walk again Oh, because they're on there for that long Oh my God I think there's definitely a fair share of things That in my house that is triggering for both of us
Starting point is 00:44:07 Like there's a lot of things that you're saying that I do But there's also a lot of things that he does Like the toilet roll thing and empty shower gel things They're always in there He'll always keep that in there Anything that's about to be empty in the fridge He'll keep it in there Or if it's gone off
Starting point is 00:44:21 It's got fur or mould on it. He'll never clean out the fridge. There's a lot of things that really bother me with that. It does the hoovering first before actually cleaning. But then there's things like keeping lids off things that I do, like more chaotic, careless things I do. But he's just a bit more lazy with some things. If that make sense?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yeah. I just think there's jobs that don't exist in the man's head. And they never will. Sadly for us. Swings I pretend golf club five thousand times a day. I hate that all sherry, boxing. No. No, that is a dump of bull offence, I think. What about like an ear punch? Like, yeah. Oh my God. The fact that, to be fair, the fact that we're sitting here saying that
Starting point is 00:45:07 when our men wear wrestling t-shirts and has wrestling belts on their wall is just beyond embarrassing. No, I know. This is you. Doesn't double-click car fob, only has door opens and I'm passenger shade like a fud every day I'm like, hello my car's quite annoying for that though I know a lot of cars do that now it is annoying I have to press it three times for everyone again
Starting point is 00:45:28 yeah that is annoying I wonder if you can turn that off do you know what I need to turn off my car that automatic radio like traffic control thing but I don't know how to do that it is really annoying there is definitely a way
Starting point is 00:45:41 does anybody actually listen to the traffic emergency interrupting things not because my map tells me are you are rich or a bad snow No. No, we're not either, but I don't think I could cope with it. No, that, that would be awful. My mum is. She had to have an operation, didn't work. Poor cow.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Did she get, what's that called? Catonite. She actually had her, like, it's like shaved open, I'm sure. What? She also slept, she also had to sleep, right? She said she was like Hannibal Lecter with this, like, big machine on her face, and it would monitor the breathing. She does have a problem with it, to be fair, but didn't work.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Terrible. I feel sorry for her husband. Yeah, that's a shame by the way This is a big one Shaves his head and beard And leaves the wee hairs everywhere Yeah, he does that, hate it Nothing annoys me won't
Starting point is 00:46:26 It's just been cleaned They're all over Fucking sink Copies every illness I have and exaggerates It's a bag ten Yes Men
Starting point is 00:46:38 I don't know if it is a real scientific thing But man flu is a thing They genuinely don't know how to function No they don't he always speaks in a different accent it drives me absolutely I've heard a lot of people by the way
Starting point is 00:46:54 that they've got a parent at home that are English I know exactly what you're going to say right so I live here right I'm in my normal life but my dad's English say so when I go home I speak English to him but then I speak Scottish to you
Starting point is 00:47:06 one of my best friends Rachel if you listen to this I'm going to out you her mom is so scouse Rachel has the thickest lesser accent you've ever heard, when she's with her mother, they are... No, it is the strongest scouse accent you've ever, ever, ever heard. And I could never get my head around it, but it is a thing. Like, she was actually a scouse kid.
Starting point is 00:47:31 She came to move to Leicester and she had to sort of change her accent to fit in. And, yeah, she can't help it. It's like an automatic thing in her brain. She just switches back. That's crazy to me. But it's quite weird when you're around her. because I guess she probably doesn't know she's doing it but so you would let she be on the way to the mum's house say
Starting point is 00:47:51 and she's talking not like she'll talk to me English and then she'll talk back to her mom no I would just laugh at that it is funny but you get used to it like that would just make me cackle shiggles the car gear stick an excessive amount to check the cars in neutral see when I first got with Jason
Starting point is 00:48:13 he'd got a new car that day I think I've said this before and he kept kind of doing that but then when it wasn't in the right gear he was kind of been like looking at it as if like this is a nightmare but I'm like it's you
Starting point is 00:48:25 can't drive your car clearly I know stop on toes of counting no I know I was quite okay actually but I know what she means why they always doing that not if you're an automatic
Starting point is 00:48:35 choose ice and that's enough it's enough for me to end on I just think everyone's annoying I think you've made that quite a clear And inflation. Time to check on the skies. It's another sunny day in Calgary.

So we've had a dilemma from a girlie, and basically, in short, it's a bit of a wedding guest dilemma that she's in. So one of her really good friends is getting married next year, and she was invited to the hen party. She didn't think that she could go to this hen party. because she is going to live in Australia.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Right. And she actually messaged the person that was looking after the maid of honour and just said, like, I don't think I can make it. I also don't think I can make the wedding. Bear in mind, she is really good friends with the bride. Blah, blah, blah. I'm going to be here, whatever. So she was excluded from the list.
Starting point is 00:50:06 She was also then, I believe, excluded from the guest list of the wedding. She's then ended up messaging the bride and basically said, look, I'm in a position now where I can come. I don't think I was able to do it at the time, but because of, I guess, the cost of flights and things like that. Yeah. I'm now in a position to come. And the bride has sent her a message back,
Starting point is 00:50:28 and she wants to know our opinion on it. And I'll read out the message, okay? Go for it. So the bride has said this, and she wants our thoughts on what to reply and what we think about it. Okay. So I hope you don't mind,
Starting point is 00:50:41 but just so I can get it off my chest, I really need to say how much this has hurt me. I appreciate it may not be a big deal your end, but for me, it's the biggest day of my life and we're having a teeny tiny wedding. I had to invite 15 people maximum and it's been really hard to do that. We've upset a lot of people, aunties, uncles, cousin, school friends.
Starting point is 00:50:57 No one's been asked to come. So when I asked you and found out that you were a maybe, it hurt me a lot. I appreciate you had travel plans, but my friend is getting married next year and so is our other friend who has just moved back to America and is planning a trip home so she could attend the wedding. this was what I'd expect you to have said.
Starting point is 00:51:16 And the fact you didn't tell me, you just said no to my hendoo without a word to me personally, and I had to ask you why. It's hurt me a lot. And I hope you don't mind me saying now because I really just want to look forward to my wedding and have this off my chest. So in the voice note from the girl that's messengers,
Starting point is 00:51:35 she did say like, you know, she was comparing me to another friend that was away and saying that she expects me to have come back and she just really wants our thoughts on it and what to reply because she's really, really taken back by this message. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Now, thoughts? I just feel like if one of my friends getting married and it's a small wedding, I'm one of 15 invited, we must be close enough that I would come back for your wedding. Yeah. Like, I think I would,
Starting point is 00:52:07 the message from the girl is what I would feel, I think. yeah because if you're such a if you're a best friend and you're obviously so close that you're invited to a very small wedding but is she to know that it was a small wedding though
Starting point is 00:52:24 sounds to me she didn't know there was 15 people invited and she hit upset aunties, uncles and all that but she must be close enough to be in a 15 regardless of the size of the wedding she's obviously a really good friend and I think my expectation would be my friend to come to my wedding
Starting point is 00:52:39 okay and I know she's away in Australia or whatever she is, America or far away. But what I find Australia is and obviously not close enough for her to know that she was going travelling. And that's what the friend has said in the message. Like, you've never said a word to me personally
Starting point is 00:52:56 that you even go and travelling. I had to hear that from someone else. So for me that feels... No, I think she's saying she didn't say to her. She couldn't go to her hand to. She found that out through someone else. Really? Check it again.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Because it matters. this is what I'd expect you said and the fact you didn't even tell me you just said no to my hand and do without a word to me personally I just had to ask you why so yeah for me that would make I would think that she would be like
Starting point is 00:53:24 oh okay actually she's going to be in Australia so she might be a no I don't know it's a really tough one I feel it might be a mass communication going on yeah I for me personally right if I was this girl and she's waited
Starting point is 00:53:38 this sounds like it happened a long time ago right in the range of months, right? Yeah. Where she's getting it off her chest now. I would have had to have said something at the time. I probably wouldn't have sat on this for that long, especially if it was a closer friend, I would have been like, right?
Starting point is 00:53:53 At the time, I'm really disappointed. I really hope that you would have been there. I really wanted to be part of my special day. But I also can appreciate that everybody has their own lives and if you are moving to Australia, getting a flight back and be in the range of thousands of pounds. And you can't just expect people to do that as well as probably then all the costs that it takes at a wedding.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Yeah. It's a really tough one, isn't it? I just always think if it was me and one of my friends, I would expect them to do it, but if they really couldn't, they would tell me. Yeah. So I think this is the issue here. There's a lack of communication from someone.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Well, sounds like both of them. One of them should have said, look, I really want to be there, but I'm going to struggle financially, and you know I've been wanting to go travelling for years, and I'm finally doing it, and I just think it's come at a bad time. Or the other friend should have said,
Starting point is 00:54:40 I really want you there. How can we make this happen? Yeah. Like it would mean a lot to me. I've had to whittle it down to 15 people and you are one of those special people. I don't know. I think I would have been like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:54:53 It just sounds to me like the, like you say, there's some lack of honesty and in the communication in their relationship. I also feel there's a disconnect if someone is getting married and the other isn't in that position because I don't think... They get it.
Starting point is 00:55:06 You get it. Yeah. I think when it's... We've obviously not done. either but I can imagine it's like consumes you and it's your big day and you want everyone there. Yeah. And you won't understand why someone doesn't get why that's so important to you. Yeah. Or they don't get why them being there so important. Mm-hmm. Then I don't know if I feel like I do get that even though I've not been married. Yeah. But then obviously if I was doing a massive life
Starting point is 00:55:31 change and I was so desperate to move country, that's where my focus would be. Could also be an age thing. They might be quite young. Guys, let us know. your thoughts on that and what you think about this dilemma for this galley and what she can say back to her friend. Hopefully by now she's probably replied and they've sorted it out and she's going to the wedding and everyone's happy even friends. But... Happy families.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I'm pretty certain loads of people can relate to this because there's always drama around Hindoos, weddings. I think people feel very precious that it's like it's taking over your life but it's not taking over mine. Like it's not my priority for the year. Like your wedding's not, my year's not consumed around your wedding. And I actually do agree with that. No, so do I.
Starting point is 00:56:14 I don't think your life can be around anyone's situation. Like you're all living your own life here. We're all just hustling, bustling through life together, but also separate. Yeah. So we had a response from our chat last week about weddings and... Getting married at the same place. Yep. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:34 So a girl's messages and said... Is this same girl or different girl? Okay. Just listening to today's episode. My brother-in-law, in brackets, husband's brother, and his new wife got married at my venue three years later and used my photographer, my florist, my piper, etc. I'm too chill to make a fuss, but honestly, it was so weird.
Starting point is 00:56:55 The groom thanked his new wife for planning an amazing wedding. He should have thanked me. I don't know, I'd find that a bit weird. See, this is the thing about it. I think, like we were saying, if you've had your heart set on something, why should you change it because someone else got married there, right? But your style can't, unless your best pals, it's still weird if everything's the same. But there's no way that they wanted everything the same.
Starting point is 00:57:20 No way. They wanted it. They have just copied your wedding. Yeah. I think sometimes people just do copy you. And being there, it would probably feel quite weird. Yeah. Like I'm at my own wedding again.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Yeah. Yeah. Quite nice, actually. Not intentions on you, but still, I do think that's weird. Anyway, just thought I'd share that. Right. Funny story about the vulva. go
Starting point is 00:57:41 back in the day I used to love a spray tan any slight occasion I would get one back in the day I used to love the vulva I used to love the vulva
Starting point is 00:57:49 the vulva was love love it I used to get a spray tan at any slight occasion at the time I was working part time on the bar at the local rugby club
Starting point is 00:57:58 one Friday afternoon I had a spray tan for the weekend ahead and been casually texting one of the players from the club and he invited me around for a quick
Starting point is 00:58:05 for a quickie I had never done anything of the sort before but never have since. But my fresh spray tan, no brat and white vulva gave me a slight slutty confidence. Yes. I went round to his
Starting point is 00:58:18 fresh from the tan, sticky and smelling of biscuits, did the deed and covered him in the tan. My tan and vulva ended up looking like a marble worktop so I can only imagine what he looked like. We never mentioned the experience again. I'm now married with children and having a partly highly respectable career
Starting point is 00:58:34 in emergency services. He would be marble though. He would be. if she didn't wash it off sorry but you're not touched me when I've just had a spray tan or just put my own tan on I'm sticky
Starting point is 00:58:47 hey she had a bit of slutty confidence no I'm sticky the smell it's too much I'm surprised he did because guys cannot I'm pretty certain guys do not care but they can't with the smell
Starting point is 00:59:02 effect tan at the same time but then if you're about to get your hole I mean your hole's your hole in it your hole's your hole so why Your vulva is your vulva. Your vulva is your vulva and your hole is your whole. We love it. Let's make it happen.
