Happy Tuesday, guys, welcome back to the poddy Waddy Waddy Wad. Happy Tuesday. We are joined by a special guest today, which if you're watching YouTube, you will see. But we have Jensen with us. Say hi! He's got so much to say. Doof, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Say hi.

Say hi! And he's been an angel boy today. Well, we're racing against the clock, because. he's getting a bit fidgety now but and he's up if you see he's just spewed all over his gorgeous outfit which is just perfect timing but that's mum life for you hey absolutely come to come to work with your mum today literally that's just what you got to do is crafting hard we're going to have to do it today because daddy's busy so you're with your mommy say hi hi everyone oh you're so perfect right so where shall we begin

well you tell us what's been a lot on your plate oh my goodness we went to david gray last night everyone it was bloody brilliant at the armadillo you'd bought me tickets months ago but i couldn't go and then we rebooked them because he came back yeah and it was just brilliant wasn't it i just love him i just can't believe that his voice still sounds the same exact same he's one of those people that because you know how you sometimes go and see folk and they're quite shy in your life yeah Or, like, you can tell they've got a bit of a bit of editing going on. He's got, like, a, start raspyness. Uh-huh.

Oh, Jess has just kicked the microphone away. I don't want to speak no, my mom. The raspiness of his voice is, like, it's his natural voice. Yeah. That's just the way it is. But we went to the, we went for dinner first. It was me, Jess, my mum, Susie. And we went to the Drake.

Yes. Which was actually lovely. I've been before for a Sunday roast, which it's kind of known for, I think, quite cosy Sunday vibes. Sunday vibes, watching a bit of sport on the TV. I think it's a great place to go with your partner as well. I think if they're into sport and you can just have your roast, a nice glass of wine.

It's also dog friendly, I believe. Is it? Yep. So cosy in there. Really cute. So cozy. But they've started doing like small bites and things during the week. So we got quite a few things actually,

that we get Timpura prawns, patty, obviously. Duh. What were the things that were so good? The lemon and pea fritters? or add the ham cragat da. Lemon and peat. Don't start to speak Spanish again. We get lemon and pea fritters right. My mum fancied them. I'm telling you right now that is something I would never order.

And they were gorgeous. So crispy, delicious. They were just really fresh. I loved them. And then you got a chicken and haggis burger, was it? Yeah, I had a southern fried chicken burger with haggis, like a patte in it. It was really good. With maple mayonnaise. Something like that. Really good. And then the chips. And you know a good sign of a really good.

really good place is when the food is piping hot and those chips burnt me to fuck but they were so good you know it's fresh and we had a couple of cocktails oh we did I had a couple apparel spritz you had a porn star baby yeah a couple of porn star she's it couldn't be any less of a porn star right now but whatever and until you make it sozy had a couple of margaritas and me my mom just shared a mac and cheese with chorizo through it yeah that was nice and I'm actually not a massive fan of charizzo but I think when it's in small wee chunks like that I It was so good. Yeah.

With some chips on the side. It's brilliant. Anyway, we thought, Oh, did you think it was good as well, Mr. Jay? What have you got to say for yourself over there? Sitting that handsome. It's rude, actually. Are you going to smile?

Are you going to smile? Yeah. So. But at David Gray, obviously people, what we thought, right, and we're just going to say it, I'm just going to say it. Yeah. With no qualms about it here.

Go for it. The crowd was quite rough and ready. They were, by the way, including us. Yeah, we're part of that, right? But it was quite young. It was young. I was expecting it to be a little bit older, but then I thought, well, we're young.

Well, you like to remind me that I'm not young. I've decided that I'm still allowed to say I'm young and you're not. Yeah. As what I was telling you last night. But it was more like probably a lot of people are sort of age, which I think we've got good music taste because we've got past music taste almost right, like when times were good.

But I think a lot of people do. young people don't, but they clearly do. And it was quite rough, so there was a couple of times where, you know, he was changing his guitar and that, and people were obviously shouting like, come on, David, and some people are going, like, Keem on. And I'm like, I just don't think it's the time and place for Kiem on, do you know what I mean?

But anyway, obviously. Because everyone sat down pretty much the whole time, so it was very much a sit-down gig. It's a very, like, appreciate the artist's sort of vibe. The band. The drummer was brilliant. But... The enthusiasm from him. I said to Zoe, because,

I've had a bit of an emotional week, which we'll get on to in a moment. But I said, Sue, I don't know if my emotions will handle it, because please forgive me is one of my all-time favorite songs. And it was a song that I played. If you've watched the birth story, by the way, you'll know. But I said to Zoe, I'm not sure how I'll handle it. And your mum loves that song too. And she's been to see it a few weeks ago.

She said to me, Jess, the end bit where you'll know if you know the song, but it's like an instrumental, but it gets really upbeat. And can I have bells and bells and bells. Yeah. And she says, everybody gets up and they start going wild. And I was like, okay, couldn't picture it. but they did and it was on

everyone was like woo, whoa, woo, it was so good and your mom was just living the dream She's got like something inside her that physically can't stop

Like you could not have got her I said It's taken over I just can't help myself I love her Oh so towards the end Like you know when they cut they go off

and you know they're going to come back on Yeah She starts shouting We're a couple of wines down as well right She starts shouting Please forgive me again, David, come on, and I was like, Mom, I'm going to need you to sit down. And then he came off the stage, came back on, you know, and they do all that teasing

and everybody does at concerts. And it was honestly silent. And your mum just goes, David, David, David, please forgive me. And you just kept going, mum, mum, mum, mum, the couple behind you were absolutely pissing. And I honestly thought in that moment, I cannot believe this is your mother. Like, you are so similar, but I just. love how opposite and she just does not

give one flying motherfuck but there was a couple in front of her and then what is she said around and she went bloody hell

he doesn't want to hear your voice either and then after that was quite annoying I thought I was just said something I was like shut up

I just see if you're at she's just trying to get the vibes up oh she's just we all want the vibes up you know what I mean for Dundie but I just think

if you're at the hydro and it's quite pumping vibes it's okay maybe shout here and there. But even, it was very between songs, like everyone's just there for him. Like, it's not to kind of party.

Do you know what I mean? But you did have, I remember hearing someone say like oggy, oggy, oggy at one point. I thought, oh, oh, oh, we're no doing that at David Gray. Do you know what I mean, sit down? We then got, my mom was being really funny, weren't she? Because we then got a taxi into town to get the train home.

And she was like, I could go a wee poker chips. So we went into the Blue Lagoon, and I wasn't wanting anything. And Jess was like, I'm going to get a chips. Are we what? A wee poke. A wee poke of a chip. What does that mean?

Like a poke of a fork? No, just a wee bag of a wee poke of chips. Wow, I never had that. I love that. And Jess said to my mum, I just, I'll get some chips, but I want a wee small portion. And my mom was like, pure laughing. Like, it's just a bag of chips. Like, it's no that deep and all that.

I was like, I just want, I was stuffed from the Drake. I was like, I'll just have a wee portion. Then she sat there and she went, do you want a sauce? And she went, a small sauce? Do you just want a small sauce? Just want a small sauce as well? By the way, Blue Lagoon doesn't do chippy sauce You have to buy the bottle

Big red flag That is really bizarre, I think But I think Blue Lagoon is a tourist trap of a chippy though They have earned so much money from tourists Non-real I mean, Glasgow regions definitely go there after a night out But I mean, day to day You wouldn't go to the Blue Lagoon as your local chippy I'd imagine

Well, a lot of people aren't local to it again Because it's in town Yeah, true So at the weekend I'd quite a busy weekend actually Friday night I went to just the local pub for a few and I was actually out to 1am

quite late for me I think I know a few drinks I had cookie with me and honestly stressful but we're keeping it going we need to keep it going or else she won't get used to it no exactly so and the other doggies were there as well

so it allows her to you know mingle make friends we're cousins and that anyway did that Friday Saturday actually turned out much nicer than I thought it was going to be weather-wise. So anyway, me and Jace went into the West End and walked around Kelvin Grove and then we tried Sears Pizza.

So you did. Have you been there? No, I haven't. No. It's a slice place, isn't it? Yep. So he got a couple of slices of like just cheese and tomato and I got a slice of the Sears one which is vodka.

The vodka pasta sauce sort of thing. Oh my gosh. goodness, which was delicious. And I got one that was buffalo chicken. Wow. And I got a hot. Just a slice? Yeah, a slice of each and I got hot honey sauce with it. Hot honey. It was unbelievable, by the way. How much? It was really good. So I get two slices, Jason got two slices with one, like, drink between us two wee sauces and it was only 17 pound. Okay. I think that's good. That's good, yeah. I know really you're only getting a couple slices of pizza, right?

But it was nice and it's big, big slices. And it was good and it felt really fresh, loved it, I would really recommend. And then, honestly, apart from that, just quite chill for me. We were obviously out last night at David Gray and then

today we're going to Glen Eagles after this for an overnight. We are. We did say that last week though, didn't we? Yeah, I'm having a sleepover, Vagentzen. I think that's fun. Can't wait! Are we going to take you in the swimming bowl, Mr. Pajama party? Yeah, so we're off to Glen Eagles with Mr. Jensen, and I've just had a really tough week, haven't I? I just think his reflux has been a little bit up and down.

I did mention it a bit last week, but we had his tongue tie cut yesterday. I did have it through the NHS in the end, which took a long time, to be honest with you. I did have the first initial lactation consultant privately, but I won't go too much into it, but she couldn't do the procedure because of some weight issues that were logged in correctly. So anyway, he's had that done. It was over in second. So if your baby does have it or you're having it, don't worry.

It really was so quick. He wasn't phased really at it at all, by it at all, to be honest. He screamed, but then it was over in seconds and he was like straight on my boo. Like once it actually just been snapped at it instantly. Yeah. Okay, really?

Absolutely fine. Weren't you, mister, hey? And then he went to sleep and he's been amazing since. So I don't know. I really don't, I can't put my finger on it. I just think every week is going to be up and down. I have some great days.

I have some really relentless days where he just cries constantly and wants to be held all the time. But his latch is much better now. So I think the breastfeeding gen is going to become only easier from this point, which hopefully in turn will help the reflux because he won't be coming on and off, getting air in excess air. Yeah. And then we did start a metpresole, which I was really reluctant to do for many reasons.

But we had the prescription. I ended up starting it last week when we were out of wits and I don't know what else to do. And, you know, in the grand scheme of things, medication can give people an amazing way of life. Like any medication, it's designed to help you live a more easier. Oh, so you tried everything else before that. So sometimes it is the only option. Of course. And I don't want to have him on it for a long time.

I just think I'll try and wean him off it. But we've been on it for a few days and it hasn't really done anything. I just think he's been quite constipated. So people have said to me it takes a couple of weeks to kick in. So I'm definitely going to do that. I've looked at the options of like milk cows allergy. A lot of people have said, has you got CMPA? Listen, I think you just know.

I did cut out dairy for a week, but a few people have told me that I have to cut it out for much longer than that to notice a difference. But I'll be honest with you, even the pediatrician, doctors, helpers to say to me like, why have you cut it out? Don't do that. And just, as I said, conflicting information from every,

It's so confusing. And I just think go with your mother's instinct, go with your gut, whatever you think is right is probably right. And that's what I'm doing. I'm just going to, I really appreciate everyone's advice, of course, but I feel like I know him better than anybody else and I'm his only voice right now. So for me, I'm just doing what I think's best.

And that's all we can do, can we. But when the days are good, it's great. Yeah. And it's definitely getting better. Some people have said to me as well, you know, babies that have reflux, it's probably a good idea to wean them a little bit early. Because you meant to wean them at six months

But the advice years ago was four months So some doctors and paediatricians will say to wean them earlier Because it will help the reflux It was like heavier on their tummy So we might look at that into that option And yeah, we're having really good night's sleep Sleeping pretty much throughout the night now Which I can't complain about that's amazing

And all that is by the way really good Yeah Don't get me wrong, he wakes up but he'll just have a feed. He won't be restless. He won't be kicking off. And, but last night, he didn't wake up at all. We went to sleep at, well, I got in late, so midnight.

And we probably woke up about 6 o'clock in the morning. And for me, that's a full night. No feed. God, that is that a fill night, by the way? Sexeros. Yeah. Oh, I didn't like that, Mum. He's tired.

He's rubbing his eyes. And then I ended up going back to, I've been going back to the gym a little bit with Richard every now and again, like, just once a week. and he did a workout with me yesterday and he got me on the treadmill and I was thinking to myself like a year ago I was running half marathons for fun and I can't even run 200 meters on a treadmill but honestly when I tell you it felt so good what I know Zoe I don't know why I don't know how and I think it's because you know when you're unable to do something for so long and you actually wish you could you see people running in the street now and I'm like I wish it could be me

and I never ever would have thought that no I've never thought that in my life shining. I'm like, I just know how good that they're feeling like after and the sun and I want to feel that. So I got on the treadmill and I just went for it and I felt unreal. That feeling in your lungs where it's like your heart's rate, hearts rating and your lungs a little bit. That's the feeling of hell to me. I know. I know. So I mean, I agree. But I don't know what it is. I'm just like, I'm loving it. Fear Fox, Jan. And it was only 200 meter run and then 200 meter ski. back to back in five minutes

and whatever I did it in I got the rest of it for a rest five rounds and so it's not really that difficult and obviously I found it very difficult no but that's very breath taking exercises yeah and it was brilliant and then he did quite a bit of pelvic floor exercises with me because basically Richard

had three really big hernias with football and he had three massive groin operations back to back just the year before he retired so he had a lot of work down there And I know men and women are different, but his rehab, he had to do a lot of work around that core strength area. And so he came and knows how he worked it. And he's also been looking a lot into C-section recovery and just pelvic floor exercises for postnatal. And he's been brilliant for me, actually.

I'm going to see a woman called Rosie Davis tomorrow. Lots of you guys recommending me her, but for a mummy MOT. And last week's episode on Patreon, I did speak about the scar massage that I had. So if you want to go listen to that, you can. But yeah, it was, I'm feeling like I'm getting, not back to myself because I still don't recognize my reflection whatsoever. But I do feel like I'm excited to get a little bit back into a routine. And obviously, Jensen's having to come to the gym with me

and I have that luxury of being able to take him to the gym where Richard can hold him. And I know a lot of people don't. But there's so many apps you can do at home. There's so many things that people can't get out. Even after a YouTube video, there's hundreds of them that you can get. So many. So I'm just trying to do what I can at the moment

I'm not putting pressure on myself I'm trying to walk out a little bit more get walking because that's something I don't really do very much and I didn't do at all in pregnancy because of my pelvic girdle pain so I'm just trying to get out and about and walking with him in the carrier he sleeps great

so yeah look at his little eyes closing oh he's knackard I feel your son it's tough stuff about you and also just a big thank you to everybody that watch my birth story over on Patreon And it was really emotional actually filming that and going back to that,

especially the week that I've been having. I just felt all sorts of emotions. But it was brilliant. And you guys seemed to like it. And it was a nice for me to watch back on because I've put some videos in there from the actual births and pictures. So it's just a nice keepsake for me as well.

But what we've done now on Patreon is we've enabled, we appreciate that people don't probably want to pay for a monthly subscription. There might be one-off videos because Zoe and Friends, you had loads of amazing guests. so if you want to go back on we've now

Patreon sorry have allowed us to enable pay per episode that wasn't a feature before so I saw it pop up the video and I thought oh that's amazing yes we'll do that for like if you do a video like a vlog style instead of a side dish one week

or we vlog David Gray last night we're vlogging Glen Eagle so we'll put that up as a monthly special so we'll do that yeah that's good idea actually and then if you don't want to sign up to Patreon which to be honest is rude but fair fucks you then you can just buy a video one off yeah and I've just put the price

as the very minimum that Patreon allow because obviously they take a humongous cut of everything but also another thing that they've enabled and allowed me to do was when you buy a subscription now for Patreon I think it's £3.50 per month but I've ticked 20% off if you buy a yearly subscription and quite a lot of people have done that so that's great if you want to do that

I think it's 30 quid you can buy it for the full year so then it's done doesn't you come out your account? again to the next year. I love these new features that they're letting us do, make things easier. It just makes easier because we obviously know that

especially like see if you're in a time in your life where you're wanting to move house or buy your first home or whatever you try and get your outgones to the minimal. You're canceling, your Spotify and all that, right? So we get it. But also there's so much good stuff on there.

It is so much good stuff on there. And it is worth the money. Of course it is. I always think about this right, I think because I pay a few people's patrons of podcasts that I listen to and I actually want to support the creators themselves and I appreciate, you know,

it's another. app but that's where our monthly newsletter is going to be for any free members so you're not going to have to pay for the newsletter but any free members if you sign up it'll come straight to your inbox it's just an easier way for us rather than getting everybody's email address it just makes more sense um but yeah so I pay for that monthly and I always think to myself when I go to Starbucks and I'm paying for my oat milk ice latte with sugar-free fucking vanilla and they're asking me for five pound fifty and I think what the actual hell in return of this I'm getting from you're getting one coffee that you're drinking in two minutes and then it's

goes in the bin. And then you're getting about, what, six videos from us, competitions. And I know it sounds like we punt it a lot, but because we genuinely think it's good. And the price that we do is so minimum for what you get in return. We gave you too much to start with, so basically we kind of go back. We fucked it, guys. But we love you, and it's just a thanks and appreciation,

because we couldn't do this podcast. We seriously couldn't do this main episode podcast without our Patreon supporters. So we really appreciate you. No, we actually couldn't. Things cost, like, this is work. Things cost money. Yeah. Anyway, I'm going to London this weekend, which is exciting, but what I'll do is I'll wait to tell you what my plans are once I've done them.

Yeah, I agree. And then I can tell you what was good, what was not, which I'm sure everything will be. How the weather's good for you? It's meant to be scorching. Is it? But that kind of stressy's about because I'm not all eggs out type of gal, do you know what I mean? So yeah, I think get them out. No, I would never.

Just going quickly back. So my best friend Holly, who we speak about a lot, is actually currently traveling the world at the moment. And I bet you a lot of you follow her But if you don't and you want to follow her She's at Holly Berry I cannot quite remember her handle If you're watching YouTube I'll pop it here And she was asking me an update with Jensen

And I'm really struggling texting back anyone So I was saying to all my friends Like I am shit on WhatsApp You all guys know this So he likes to remind me every single week But I'm trippish We're bad before now I've got to be in the next

Do you what I do is on this walk When I'm, he's in the carrier I'll voice note my friends But it's like an actual podcast So I sent her a 10 minute voice note the other day. I bet she was 1.5 in that. And when I was telling her what my morning was, I was like, so I had Jensen this morning. He did a massive explosive shit in his nappy. And, you know, it was amazing. And I thought to myself, this is motherhood celebrating somebody

having a shite. Somebody actually burping. And I was messaging her like, I know you're probably on the other side of the world right now, sunbathing in Bali or exploring Vietnam. And I'm telling you that my child's just shat in his nappy. This is where I'm. life's at. Yeah, we've got to her complete different people right now. And I absolutely love it because there's, I'm so happy for her living the dream right now. And I don't have any FOMO, like this is, I guess this is what I was saying to you last week where I feel so content because as much as I would have loved to have done that, of course, I did a lot before I had a baby. And that's why I just feel so content. I don't have FOMO. I don't experience that. And I'm so happy watching my friends live in her dream. And

she's also so happy and she's just so happy watching me in my motherhood era and it's just quite crazy that anybody listening to this that feels like their life is not going on the path that they want to and they're hit 30 or the mid 30s there's so many people with different paths in their life 100% and I just think it's amazing that we can all just be happy for each other and appreciate that there's no one size fits all way to do life do you know what I'm trying to say? I also think yeah and I also think if you don't feel like that about your friends then it's you it's not your friends it's you you need to look at yeah like oh I mean obviously you can't say right I'm going to return my child do you know what I mean but like just in different

situations of say you didn't have jenching right now but you were looking at her travel and thinking I'm about jealous of that's like well make a change then and go yeah you can also do it of course yeah the same with anything because jealous like the way you feel about someone else doing some it's obviously just jealousy but everyone's capable of doing the same things to an extent obviously people have boundaries and setbacks and money and things but you can always go out and get a visa

and work out somewhere couldn't you exactly but I just don't know why people waste their time being like jealous or have foam of someone and you've got the same opportunities really that's exactly what it boils down to being content and happy and what you've got and appreciative but it got me thinking she actually shared on her story because she's sharing

all of her travels everywhere she goes she's tagging the places is giving you all the tips and stuff. She's really brilliant. If you want to go traveling, where she's gone. I think she's been to Bali now. She's been to Bali. She's just been to Vietnam. I think she's now landing in the Philippines.

And then she's going to Australia. God, no, she's going everywhere. But she said in her story, that calculator tip. Did you see that? By the way, I've seen that. I didn't know that. I don't know that either. So you know your calculator in your app on iPhone.

There is a button on the bottom left-hand corner where you can just do the straight conversion of the currency that you're in into pounds. And that sounds so simple but you would normally Google it wouldn't you? And why does nobody know that?

I don't think... Well, I didn't know that. I've never seen that in my life. Me neither. And I was really impressed by that. And you know something else that I've been really impressed with and this is another tip for you

and I'm sure all parents know this but did you know if you whisper to your Alexa she whispers back? Alexa is really talented by the way. Did you know that though Zoe? No. Because I didn't and just go, Alexa, what's the time?

She goes, Five past five. I think you really use Alexa to her ability. I love Alexa. You ask her for timers. You ask her the time. Yeah. Music.

Weather. What's the weather today? I said that this morning. So I know what to pack. You have a good conversation with her. And she goes, morning, Jess. Rich is fuming because he never says morning to her. To him.

My Alex is non-responsive. Sorry, he's snoring. Can you hear that? Oh, he's so happy. Bless him. Richard, honestly, is the most unluckiest person ever. He's, he has become a grumpy old bastard. Let me just tell you that.

Parenthood has made him completely more grumpy, right? And he's admitted it. He's like, I'm so grumpy now. Like, I can't cope with it. And I had a massive high chair delivered the other day. It's a mammas and papa's new one. I'll share out my story. It's brilliant.

And he was getting rid of all the wooden boxes for me. Taking them around the side. Did he told you this story? No. So he's trying to flat pack it And he is like the bin police He is the bin police He gets a few minute

If nobody brings the bins in Because we have a shared flat It gets fuming if no one takes them out If no one flat packs as the boxes But he clearly wants to do it himself Oh he absolutely does He feels immense pride doing the bins Right

So then he's flat packing the boxes And he actually stands on the bin Numerous times in the pitch black He's fell From the top of the bin On the floor Scratch himself to bits So anyway he's out there

For ages I'm thinking What the hell is going on? what the hell is why is he taking so long to do so only three boxes comes in huffing and puffing then fucking winder cleaners

and what winder cleaners are he went no the other persons so he's standing on top of the box trying to flat pack them and he starts getting soaking wet and he's like what the hell is that

he looks up and there's a window cleaner can see him full well he's there with those big poles just cleaning and he went excuse me and he went I'll only be two minutes and he went, is your time more precious than mine? He went, she went, as a woman, she went, I've got a job to do. And he went, and so have I. This is my, he came and he went,

I've just literally said that the bins are my job. I was like, you couldn't be. He goes, I'm turning into a right, Karen. Honest to God, that guy. And he came in with a soaking wet, Barney, and got much of it left anyway. So he looked like that. And it's washing its way. Time to check on the skies.

Speaking of Karen's, yes. My friend's Abbey had a situation yesterday on the tube, right? So she's on her way to work. So here's the story. I got on the train to work this morning and it was packed,

so I stood crammed into the carriage when the guy stood beside me, turns around and knocks the coffee. I just bought out of my hand and spilled it onto the lap of the women sat down on the seat directly below me. It was literally all over the crotch of her white jeans. No. So of course there are gasp all around this mob train and the woman just puts her head in her hands

and obviously I'm like oh my God I'm so sorry and the guy who bumped into me is also like I'm really sorry that was a complete accident the woman was around early slash mid-50s I'd say and immediately started giving complete car and vibe saying this has completely ruined her day and that I need to start being more careful even though someone literally knocked it out my hand

so it's a bit awkward as she goes on and on eventually I say listen I'll give you money there's an M&S clothing at Waterloo's you can just go in there and buy a new pair. She ignores a solution and instead continues on again, saying I had ruined her day and that her boss would be furious at her

because she was asked to be an early. Bear in mind, this was 8.30 law. So after more awkwardness of everyone looking around making faces, it means if don't worry, she's been completely ridiculous. Next she turns to me and says, you need to message my boss and tell her what you've done. You are joking.

So I'm like, sorry, what? The next thing I know, she's voiced noting her boss on WhatsApp to tell them that someone has poor, a coffee down her and then she holds the phone to my face while still recording and says go and apologise to my boss no no no no no

of course at this moment people are gasping and I'm stood there staring at her like is this some kind of joke after an awkward few seconds of her continued to demand and apologise out of me I laughed and said no absolutely not this is ridiculous now I've offered to buy a new pair of jeans and you're completely overreacting at this point other shrap beside her are also saying that she

has been ridiculous anyway she storms off at the next stop and I got a seat so that's one way to get a seat on a busy commute lol needless to say everyone sat at our table had a good laugh for the next five minutes at her expense fair enough that it's such a nightmare for that to happen but these things happen there's literally nothing anyone can do so moral of the story is don't be

a car and instead laugh off and get on with your day even with a coffee stained badge oh my god voice not my boss for me I am fucking sorry I'd punch her in the face I can't cope with that she texted into the chat and was actually like this woman's asking me to now voice not her boss and I was like no I'm sorry

and you know what Abby's like like she'd be apologetic and all that but as soon as you overstep the line she's like you're ridiculous like you're taking the piss at me now like she wouldn't just crumble and feel bad also you could get a few pair of jeans out to like go to M&S and get a new pair do you know what I mean and she's actually saying

holding the phone up to her saying apologise to my boss I understand I get like your initial reaction would be a bit annoyed like I'm all my way to work I'm all ready and everything you know what I mean like it's kind of turned your day upside down for five minutes but get over it also what's your boss going to you're hoping to get a stay in your jean shop.

Anyway, that's a canon for you night there. Jesus. Right, so I went to Dunkeld at the weekend. Oh yeah, it tells you that. Yeah, it's an amazing place up near Perth, so it's about an hour and 20 from Glasgow, so great for a day trip, but there's also some two gorgeous places you can stay.

What's it called? The Tay Bank. That's it, the Tay Bank, and then there's one next door, it begins with A, I cannot, for the life of me remember, what it's called, really nice. The Teabank looks gorgeous.

Looks gorgeous. So we went to the Taybank for lunch. We sat outside and they do pizzas, fries, salads, like quite a basic sort of outdoor menu. Which I would say the pizza was really good, but I do think that it was very expensive for what it was. It was, like you had a tiny little tray of chips like that and it was, they were like six quid. And I thought, that's quite price, you know, just for a little tray like that. I feel so it should be three-fifty. It was just basic as well.

And then I had this salad, which again was like 14 pounds. It was like a borgal wheat salad and it was just a bit, I don't know, bland. But the pieces were excellent and just the vibes. That's what you're paying for. It was really, really gorgeous. A live band came on at 5 o'clock and the food inside is meant to be excellent. So the menu inside at the restaurant. Right, completely different.

Really good. Seasonal produce like looks really good. And then we went around to some of the little shops. There's another little, like a store there called the Dunkeld, which there's a chef that I follow on Instagram who does the most unbelievable food videos, so much so that he sort of sells tutorials of how he films them. Really cool. But he is, I think he's from America, but he lives in Taiwan,

and he has shares in this place. And he wants to be like the first sustainable organic supermarket in the UK. Right. And they have started that. They sell like their own milk, butter, like really basic stuff to start, all the meats. And they make this tiramisu, and they only make. 25 a day and I saw it on the Instagram and I thought well I need to fucking get that obviously so went in there and there it was I do think it was like 14 pound for this slab

of tiramisu but I don't give a fuck it was so good worth it worth it staff were lovely and jack messaged me because he stayed there and he was like if you go there go and get the ex benedict in the morning so I really recommend that little place loads of little vintage shops little stores so gorgeous and did you know what you want to say I'm just laughing because of a I saw Richard at PT yesterday and I was asked him how his weekend was. Yeah. And he was just like telling me about you's being up there and you going in to all the shops. Like I just love it here.

I mean look at this jam I got and look at this and he's like, you know, when someone just tries to make something like, not something it's not because obviously it is a lovely place but like going out to all these wee tiny dinky shops. You're like he coming in. He's like, what with this? Pam? No, he could simply not. He could do anything?

No. He was like, I was just standing outside all these shops and she's coming out. Look at this fucking tiramisu. Look at this jara. And I laughed at him, and I kept saying to him, like, it's so funny how polar opposite we are. I was getting so excited by all the little trinkets, all the little homemade jams, just all the little cute things I love about places like that. And we walk by this community garden, right? You know how they have a plaque about an information about what it is?

Yeah. And I walked by and I could see these like orchids of trees. So I stood and read it. And it was like, this was founded in 2008 by a guy from the village. They planted something like 180 apple trees, plumbed. trees, pears, whatever, and it's like, who can eat it? Anyone in the community, all the communities get together and they sort of look after the garden and anyone can go in and how do you know if this is ripe from the tree? And I honestly was nearly welling up with tears

of how amazing that was. I was like, this is the most beautiful community. God, you know in Glasgow anymore here, are you? And I was waving to Richard, like, Richard was far ahead at me and I was like, Richard, come back and read this and he was like, no. I was like, this is like a garden for anyone to go and pick the fruit. I do think when you go on day trips place that, I don't know if it's a woman thing but you do really it's like the romanticised an aspect of life i romanticise everything though we know that but i think and i'm not really that person but i think when i go to places like that like i love all the wee shops with the trinkets i always get something like i come back from every holiday with wee bowls for the kitchen and all that like i love that shit

yeah same but richard was just like he was just laughing it so much she was like it's a fucking jara jam jess go on it i was like oh my god it's uh raspberry and rhubububbs and rhubbs and sees and Richard, it's going to be good. And he was like, what the fuck are you talking about? Anyway, so I was absolutely thriving. And then I kept seeing signs for Beatrix Potter. And, you know, I love Beatrix Potter and his whole nursery is basically that. I was like, I swear she's from America. I didn't think she was flipping Scottish. Anyway, she turns out she's not, but she spent an awful lot of her childhood in Perth. And there was a Beatrix Potter garden. Obviously, I had to go. It was so cute. So I recommend that. If you've got kids, you can go there's like a little

Information Centre, all things about Beatrice Potter. I thought so. But a great day out. And then I went to the races at Hamilton on Sunday, Family Day. A friend of ours has a horse, so the horse raced there. And I won 100 quid.

That's a good deal. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I bet 30 pounds. And I was up, yeah. Up 70 quits? Yeah. And then I went to Effie's after in Udingston and Richard ordered a steak, chips,

starter and you were to pay your winnings and he goes well dinner's on you know and I thought cheek that's it gone I tell you oh I went to a new sandwich place in Southside called Bucca oh I've seen that I've seen quite a few people go there by the way good really really good and they've got a gorgeous outdoor seating area if you want to go and sit in the sunshine there's a record shop a vintage shop next door nice it's nice and like a little hidden alleyway in Southside and then went to good old Sugo as well brilliant we love it there I've not been to Sugo for

quite a long time for me I would say I'm going to go as far as saying have I been this year, I don't think so. Right, that needs to get changed. That's crazy, crazy talk. Right, so we'll finish off with, obviously last week we spoke about some of our products

that we've been loving and not loving. But we also asked you guys product that you could not live without. Yes. That's right, isn't it? I can't believe how sleeping content this little man has been. Can you see him on the camera guy? he's just chilling he's having a good

an old nap I'm jealous I just can't I'm saying this to Zoe it's the inconsistency of parenthood that I'm so struggling to get my head around at the moment you can't rely on has mood

moods or actions or reactions yeah so you can't really plan around it and I can't believe people have babies that I like this all the time you're so lucky if you listen to this and you have a baby like that because it really is a dream

yeah and I love I love it when he's being fussy anyway. I'm just used to it now. But I mean, what I'm trying to say is... No, it doesn't make you love them any less, but it's just... Yeah. It's almost like, I feel...

I know I always compare it to Cookie Wright, but it's the only thing I can do. It's like, when they're being so good, you could actually, like, squeeze them out of love. The cutness aggression is real. So you still love them when they're not being good, but it's like... You could also shut them away for a minute. Bye. Boy. Time to check on the skies.

It's another sunny day in Calgary. Forecast calls for high levels of economic activity. Late afternoon, we've got a burst of potential in a place ranked North America's most livable city. Tomorrow, blue sky thinking in the blue sky city should hold steady, and the outlook remains optimistic throughout the week. So come grab your dreams and enjoy watching them take hold.

Right, so we asked one life-changing product you can't live without because of the TikTok trend. Yeah, isn't it? Right, let's see. But it was more of a, what's the one product you can't live without, but that isn't trending, like something that has completely changed your life that we need to know about. Yeah.

Tell us. By the way, talking of products, rents skincare went into administration. Shook at that. By the way, what's that all about? I'm really shocked at that. Me too. orange toner was brilliant. I wonder what happened with that.

Right. Do you know what's coming up quite a lot here? Which I would say maybe is slightly a bit of a golden old day in a way. Jamie Jen's U-Tan, face spray. People love that, don't they? I think anyone who's used that's never looked back from it. Yeah. If it's worked well for them, obviously. Yeah.

But it cures people's acne. It does, doesn't it? Isn't it because it's got CBD in it? Like not to be dramatic, but it actually has been... and the press a few of times for curing people's acne. Do you know what I think about face tan there because one of my all-time products would be the Isle of Paradise Greenwater, which has changed my entire life.

Like the tan on my face now, I look quite shiny today, but the tan on my face and the glow mostly is down to that. And because it cancels out red tones. So if you do have acne or any flares, flared up skin, it obviously gets rid of the redness, which just makes it look no way near as bad as what it does. Yeah. Match and roll on.

Zoe What's your go to deodorant? Zoe that Now I posted on my story that when I gave birth you stink because of the hormones right

and I wanted a natural deodorant and people said to me wild all the things and some people said the only thing that will work is Mitchum Roll on

and I bought that in fresh the flavour fresh because it's powder fresh and then there's a fresh shower fresh I have not smelt since and can you tell me is it the wet roll on or is it the wet roll on it's not the creamy one right so i was

doing the wet roll on for a while there i quite like mitcham too but it stays very wet yeah it does i haven't kind of you know dry it in my arms but i moved on to the cream oh one when i bought it last month and it's a coconut scent nice recommend that sounds quite organic and it doesn't feel it doesn't feel wet at all and i've not smelled at all either because haven't they bought out a natural or aluminium free range and I think it is that one you're talking about. Yeah, by the way, do you know what?

It might be that. I think it is that. I feel like it says it on the pack. I think it is. So I'm a matured girl as well actually. So get on board with that but although a lot of people

did reply to me and say Wild was brilliant and that one Fussy. Fussy. Richard hated that. He didn't work for me. Actually gave him a reaction.

Really? Wow. Do you know what I'm loving at the moment and some people have asked me what I've been using to tongue my hair. It's the Molly Made Beauty Works tongue, but I'm using the, because it's the long barrel.

I'm using the thinner barrel. And that is helping me have the more consistent curls. I used the bigger barrel this morning and it was absolutely crap and it fell out. I actually mean to say, by the way, I'm really bad at saying my compliments out loud. I've told you this before. Right.

But I've noticed your hair's been different and it's nice. A lot of people have said that to me. And your ponytail was nice last night. Okay. Right. The reason is, and I promise I don't mean this in a big-headed way. I actually don't. But I have always had thick hair.

It's definitely got better conditions since I've been consistent with using Grow Gorgeous over the years and just other hair products. But since I gave birth, I've told myself I'm making more of an effort with my hair. And that's why. I never, ever make an effort with my hair. And so now I am, people are noticing that it looks nice. And that is purely it. that is literally

I've got no magical cure for you I'm just making an effort do you know what it is though and I'm the same with see the longer your hair is and almost like because I've got quite

wavy frizzy puffy hair yeah but because it's really long and has been for years you can almost I could never just leave it at anything but you can almost

do a five minute tongue job and it looks okay yeah and I'm the same I'm quite lazy with it almost but I'm talking like I'll do my hair in four minutes.

Yeah. Where does it take fucking 10, 50 minutes and you look like a new person? And you know those clothes that I put in, they last, you said my pony tail look nice because that was two days of curls worth. It holds it well.

My hair's always held well. It takes to colour really well. Yeah. I just slap it in that flipping slick back bun for years and make no effort. Yeah. But I do also think that's how you end up

with quite good hair because you're not doing that every day. True. And you're not putting heat on it all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Like I don't color my hair. that often because it's quite light anyway which helps people love your colour by the way you need

to talk about that a bit more please i honestly can only apologise because it's nothing i'm doing or anyone else doing i've just got a good natural base for a blonde you do you do have a really good fair hair it's quite ashy toned so even if i try to have yellow blonde hair i don't think it would happen agree because it's ashy but what i will say is if you struggle with your blonde hair my thing is just don't put it right up to the route. Because that's when you notice it the most because you end up by a black stripe basically. I think you need to try to do that more like root drags thing

just so it's maybe a bit more natural looking. Yeah, because a lot of people ask what to get asked your hairdressers for and Jack, what he does for me is he back home the root and then put the foil on so it's a bit more sort of naturally spread, I think, rather than like a big stripe of it. And you said Florence almost combs through the bleach when she's about to wash it out. so it does that subtle lift.

Yeah. And do you know what else I want to shout out as well because I use it this morning in the shower? Purple shampoo, right? One of the best I've ever used is from a brand called fudge. Have you ever heard of that? That was like the hairdresser's crack cocaine back in the day, was it not? Fudge.

Fudge purple shampoo is the best I've used. The Oliplex one made my hair literally purple. No, I'm scarred from, you know, the one I'm talking about. Oh, the one that you're getting boots? Silver. Yeah. It's fully purple bottle, wee purple lid I used to drown my head in that

I wanted it to be grey You put it on your hair dry So I wanted it to be lilac almost Like it was so white I wanted it to be lilac Yeah I've not used purple shampoo since those days Well that's maybe why your hair looks so In good condition

Maybe you need to get Florence to tell everyone What the toner is Dish the secrets Also see just last thing Speaking of hair someone's put Tangle Taser hairbrush right. I've had them for a few years but what started happening

because I'm trying to obviously blow dry it a bit smoother right so I'm doing the sort of brush to hair dryer thing and it keeps melting the brush oh the plastic tangleteaser

things but is it designed to be a no probably not there so it keeps melting it and then it ends up like a wee hard knot from the wee bristle things and then it gets caught in my hair right so in a long story short I brought another brush

and it's just from boots but it kind of looks like a tangleteat a tangle teaser and it's making my hair static can somebody tell me a good brush that's no 100 quid i'd say i love mine no i don't want i don't want to pay a hundred quid for a hair brush wasn't a hundred quid what was it 60 it was expensive but it was boar bristle but what sort of brush should we be used in this life a bore bristle brush i don't know about a round brush though what does a boar bristle mean bore bristle is what it's a boar can you spell that be a Is it B-O-A-R?

B-O-A-R. Listen, we'll have a lot of hair dresses. Is that the one that kind of looks almost fluffy? It's the one that a lot of people say to use if you want your hair not to snap because it's the softest on your hair. Like, more natural. I'm feeling I'm getting like,

when I'm pulling that brush, I feel like I'm kind of ruined my hair with that brush. Maybe there's a point that you can put on to make it less static though. Yeah. Listen, there'll be hundreds of hairdressers listen to this. Give us all your tips. Can someone recommend a good brush please?

Like I'm needing a good fucking brush. A good blow drive brush, like a round brush, you mean? I need that, but I also just need your day-to-day brush. Okay. I'm coming out the shower, what am I using? Because this tangle teaser thing's annoying me. Interesting. Right, any more products from anyone?

Honestly, people just... Oh, that's a nice big fart there, guys. Jensen, we're recording. Don't be rude. Don't be rude. People are just loving, obviously, Elmiss Pro Collagen, Cleans and Bam, living proof, drag, I don't know if I like that.

What? I know I can't believe it it's sticky no you're using the texture spray you dafty I'm not I guarantee you I'm not checked it five million times I thought why did I not like this and everyone else does

it's like it makes your hair almost like it's like too powdery interesting don't tell me you like Bastis I love it okay really love Bastiste big up the bastiste

we don't need your fucking live proof that cost 30 quads, okay, we don't need it. Honestly, that fair fox, because I agree it is so expensive, but Bastis does make me feel so dirty. I know what it is, I hate it on my fingers, when I put my hair through it, I'm like, ugh. No, that's how I felt about living proof. I don't know. Do you not think living proof is like

a thicker consistency to Bastis still? Maybe. Do you know what it is though? Everybody's different. We all have different hair, we all have different skin, we like things, we don't like things. I don't like being different from you. Oh no, you don't. I like being together as one. As one.

Everything can be shared and nothing is more annoying than the fact that you've got big feet and I don't. No offence. I've got a big slab feet and you've got tiny little feet. But us not being the same shoe size as... It's a shame for us. It's a tragedy to our relationship and actually something we should have considered earlier on. You're ditched. Size four, bye.

Anyone want to fill Jesse's shoes? No pun intended. Look at me. Oh, you look so cute and cute. Watch your thoughts on Blistex? Blistex? Yeah. Best of your...

I'd have never used it, to be honest. Remember that it was a thing. People are still loving that. Never used that. That's another thing, by the way. Sorry, I just keep bringing the mood down a bit. What actually fixes your trapped lips? Don't know, because I've got them terrible at the moment.

I think it's because, see, at night when I'm wearing my embeciline, I think just now because I never usually do this. I think I might be sleeping my mouth open. Right. And I don't know if it's because I can't really shut it at the same. And I'm waking up, honestly, my lips at just dries the Sahara Desert. What fix is that? Summer Fridays doesn't do it and put that out there.

And you know what else doesn't? Is it Carmex? Will Carmex help? That's what I'm thinking of when I was talking about Blistex. Oh, okay. Blisstex is what I need. The one that comes in the wee... The little tube.

The foily tube, the little that you get when you're on racketing. Yes. That's what I need. Because Linnaege, over... overnight mask, not fixing it. Summer Friday's not fixing it. I've got this. You might need a supplement.

You know they say you have of dry lips, isn't it? Lack of, is it magnesium or something? I think I've got a lack of a lot of things. Anyway, I'm trying to soothe them with the ordinary. This wee squalling amino acids lip balm and I would say that's the one that's doing the most.

Vaseline would sort of no bother, but then they just come back. Yeah, Vaseline doesn't fix a problem. That just masks it. No, it doesn't. Anyway, we must go. and go on Side Dish. We must. We've got a few dilemmas to discuss. Yes, we have.

And we need to talk about some fashion dilemmas as well that we still haven't spoke about. And you need to also speak about your books. Okay, I'll do that over there. I'll do that over there. But we hope you enjoyed the episode. Lots of nice information there. And you'll see you over on Side Dish

and we'll see you next week. And we love you so very much. And thank you for being the best. Thank you guys. See you next week. Say bye, Jensen. Bye-bye. Calgary, also known as the Blue Sky City.
