Welcome back to the best podcast in the world,
wherever you are listening to us,
whether it's on a lovely beach,
sipping a margarita with a salty, chilly rim,
or you're walking your screaming child
with headphones in trying to ignore the scream.
Not jealous.
We are here for you on that wild ride.
Hi.
Look at the cameras, Zoe, and say hi.
Hi.
Waving at you.
No child today, thank you.
How are you?
I'm honestly perfect
You look it today
Where's your talk from?
I can't even remember the name of it
It's a like a wee London boutiquey place
But it is online
So I'll get back to you that one
What do you mean a London boutiquey place
Like it's, they've got a few of stores in London
But that's it
And what's it called?
I can't remember
Fuck sakes away
But I will let you know
But it's like only a couple of the same thing sort of vibe
Okay
One of those like it was just
all rails round the edges
but like everything was different
there was no more than like one thing
of each piece
sounds expensive
I got three things
that was about 200 pounds I think
Pardon
but it was
I got two really nice skirts
and a t-shirt
Yeah that is beautiful to be fair
And the skirts are like really good quality
and things so I actually think it's not bad
Love
Love love love
So what's been happening in the world
Molly May documentary came out
Thoughts
Bored
bored. No, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be
insensitive, right? That'll say it anyway, obviously.
Obviously, you will. Why did she get
whacked off that fence at the horse riding?
No, by the way, I was really shot by that.
That floored me.
I knew she fell off a horse.
No, me too, because she said it in a vlog, right? And honestly,
I really hope it happens okay. I know it is because she said she was fine.
But the way she whacked that and...
No, that was traumatising. I was surprised she got back on that horse.
It's fair fuck, Tony, because never again.
I couldn't breathe watching that.
Were you laughing?
No, I wasn't.
I was like, oh.
No, I gasped, and then I was that, like, nervous laugh thing
where, like, did I just fucking see that?
And also, why would you keep it in?
I'd be mortified.
What did she need to show the severity of it?
Of the actual fall?
She's only okay, because one, she'd a helmet on and two,
she'd, like, a body piece on.
I felt really sorry for actually.
When she limped away, I was like, oh, no.
And then they'll, like, get back on the horse,
and she did, and I thought, you know what?
But I don't think she's going to go back on one now.
No, I think she is now.
I wouldn't.
Horse riding's dangerous.
So what do you think overall of the documentary?
Because I'm sure lots of you're listening watched.
I feel like I didn't hate it as much as a lot of people.
What people are hating it?
Yeah, loads of people are saying like,
it's made her look very,
my life's just about, like, a boy.
Like, I'll do anything for the boy.
Like, that sort of vibe.
Really?
Which I don't really agree with.
I think she just wants her family back together.
I don't agree with that at all.
It is kind of given Kylie Jenner
just wants the same dad to the kids though
a wee bit, but I'm also
like in that kind of limelight
Fairfox. I thought people would be thinking
it was a PR stunt more than anything.
I couldn't disagree with that more. I don't think it was.
I don't know why on earth anyone would want to put
themselves through that, to be honest.
Yeah, there's no way that's that
there is no way that is true.
Also to give him all that hate, I just don't think you would dress that.
No way. No way.
hell. No, I think it was a real thing that she did where she was at a wits end and it was a case of
if I'm doing this and putting it out there, then it's me, I'm being serious. Also, like,
I don't think she needs publicity. No, I don't. I don't think that's a necessity for her.
But I do just, I just found it a bit boring, like not much happened.
Agree. I kind of think we knew what was going to happen, don't you? Yeah. And it's left on a
cliffhanger for more episodes. She's absolutely bringing more because she keeps saying at the end of
things like, would you want to see more? Yeah. So she's obviously like, hint, hint, hint, hint, hint.
but I'm just not against the Tommy thing as much as people are either
I'm on the fence with this because I just
listen it's her it's her baby dad so it's really hard to
you don't want to be disrespectful of it because
you know he's obviously a really nice guy
yeah it seems like a really good dad
yeah I just feel like they're very different they live in different
world I don't know if that's he's just more her like comfort
but the way her sister feels it's really hard
for her to sort of lie on camera
about how she feels about Tommy
and I think that speaks volumes.
Yeah, Norma,
she doesn't say it directly
but it's very much a,
you can do better,
he doesn't treat you right,
he hasn't treated you right,
alcohol is definitely a problem,
it sounds to me like
there's loads of other things going on
and she knows all about it
because Molly confines in her
but then when it comes to them being good
she's like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
have you just forgot about all those things
he did to you?
Yeah.
And then Molly doesn't like it
because she sort of humbles her
and brings her down back to her
which, again, probably can be quite draining
when all you want to do is just get over it and move on.
Yeah.
So it's hard one, isn't it?
I don't know.
Well, do I think they'll last?
Unsure.
I looked at that Tommy, not Tommy Fioree.
What's the other one?
Tyson.
Yeah.
Div.
Him and his wife.
I just think he disrespect.
I hate the way he treats his wife.
I think I don't want that to be Molly in years to come.
Yeah, he's disgusting.
My favorite part of the whole thing was her,
picking up litter on the streets.
Oh yeah.
The thing is that you would do that, wouldn't you?
Absolutely.
You're not hosting an event with litter line around.
No way.
But I just thought I like how she still does it.
Yeah.
Like she's not saying...
Someone else do it?
Get somebody to clean the place up.
She's just like, I'll do it.
I could never do that.
I could never instruct somebody to go and pick up litter.
No, I know, but I think people would expect someone to her to do that,
especially when she's all ready to, like, go.
I thought you would say your favourite bit
was when the news came out and it says Molly and Tommy kissed on Hogmanet and she went
what the fuck is a Hogmanay? I just thought all the Scottish girl is going to be pissing
at this. I never knew what Hogmanie was when I moved here. I thought it was like a hog roast.
I haven't even known that wasn't just a thing. I think she wouldn't would you? No. I just think
fuck waking up to like that like people talking about your life and just thinking
so used to it now.
Fuck's sake I get caught.
But equally, it was, she said that somebody had sold that story to the papers,
but it was just somebody literally panning the room,
and she just happened to be in it and someone slowed it down.
Yeah.
I guess they probably did sell it to the sun, but...
Or someone maybe just took it off of...
Social media, some of social media, and then they maybe.
Yeah, maybe it wasn't someone that was there.
Yeah, I agree.
Necessarily, but also again, fuck that.
She'll be so used to it, she'd be so unbothered.
And like everything, things pass.
People are over it in the next week.
I know.
And you're on to something else.
Think about how many times the Kardashians have tried to be cancelled
and people still love it and still forget it.
Absolutely.
It's boring, isn't it?
Borden.
And I've seen lots of like James Charles chat on TikTok.
Are you into that?
No.
Now that's taken over TikTok last week.
Do you know who James Charles is?
Yes, he's not been an arse for a while.
Yes.
Then he's now got himself involved in like a relationship,
sort of like an abusive online TikTok relationship
that's now gone to court
and the girls won
couldn't tell you a name
I'm not that invested
but I did watch his 10 whole minute rant
where that guy did not stutter once
he was just
straight on it
and people are liking him again
right okay
God I feel so ginsy
I've not been on TikTok
in a long time
I would say
what about our
press book airport
video going absolutely viral
on TikTok and Instagram
people think I'm an arshall
No they don't
I love replying to people on TikTok comments
I just flip it
It's my favourite thing to do
I would like everyone to know that I don't care
if you think I'm an arshould because what I said
was factual
Factual information
I don't get me fuck if you live 10 minutes from
Presswick it's no your home
Presswick Airport was not offended by our opinion
Although it's up for sale
Yeah you said that
Am I buy it? Do it up
Make it the best air support
On the map then I'll be thanking us
If we get it a better than a weather spoons
Or some more sandwiches in the fridge
Then they'll be thanking us
Look, I don't need more than what's there
But what's there needs to be utilised
Like there's no point having fridge and wates
Must be nothing in them
And I also agree that it is very convenient
When you park up, you're in in 10 minutes
But the fact that there's one person of security
Come on, like yeah that's convenient
But it's kind of risky
And then you've also got the fact that there's no food
And the fact that it's an hour drive
And it's called Glasgow Press
But when it's not in Glasgow
go.
That's what annoys us, I think.
But the people of air,
they were triggered.
Triggered, triggered, triggered.
Oh, well.
It sucks to be them.
We went to Glad Eagles.
Oh, we did.
It's gorgeous, bogey time.
Beautiful time.
Do you know what was actually really nice about it?
It was like, we just chilled.
We did give me.
No pressure.
As well.
It wasn't like,
Like when I went the last time, it was like, we need to like suss out everything and blah, blah, blah.
But when we got there, we just chilled for a bit in the room and it was great.
Yeah, I mean, I haven't stayed there for almost 10 years, but...
You've been up on the grounds.
Yes, quite a few times.
Yeah.
And then we just went for a lovely dinner, a few drinks.
That was really good.
We had dinner in the brasserie.
Those pawns, I would say, are the best ones I've ever had, I think.
They were great.
And the crab.
that crab dip
What was that a thing at the bottom?
Some sort of like
zesty avocado mousse maybe
Moose is the perfect word for that I would say
gorgeous, so fresh
both of the pasta
I had the special
pesto
beefy ragu
and you had the vodka pasta
did you?
I could never not take the vodka pasta
if it's on the menu
agree
and then we wanted some
GB but they didn't have any of the menu
but they made us some specifically for the pasta
We did eat at all
every single last drop
we haven't really eaten much
that too, though I don't think, let's just say that anyway.
And a tiramisu, and what was he the thing we had?
Custard something. Apple.
No, not toasty, doesn't the night word.
Like baked custard pie or something like that.
Pie.
But it had like a kind of raspyed apple kind of ice cream on top
and then like a strawberry drizzle.
That was unbelievable.
So good.
The long as long as we had about 40 apples.
So we did.
Keep bringing them, keep bringing them.
Keep bringing out.
You got an our drink?
Fine, no.
Mother. Bring it, bring it to us. Why not? And then we went up to the room, had a nice
early night, and we've actually vlogged it. So that would be this month's special. So it was
really on the ball with the vlogging. And that camera is so cool, by the way. I just don't
know what it's going to look like. Well, I'll show Richard the camera. Well, he's found it in my
bag, because you've left it in my bag, by the way, if you're wondering where it is.
I knew that. And he went, when did you get this? I went, oh, Zoe got it. He went,
do you realize how good this camera is? I have zero idea how good this cameras. Does it got
maybe film doing some fitness bits.
Possibly.
He was like,
oh somebody he loves
has got this camera
and he said it's amazing.
I think a lot of fitness people
are using it by the way.
Right.
Because he did buy me
that dangle thing once.
Yeah.
But that,
your phone like just tilts
it.
That's got a mind of it's sewn.
It's hard to use that.
I think.
Whereas this,
it's like it's actual
just the camera
that's moving
rather than like a device.
And I guess it's just really easy
because it's small.
So small.
It's just hard to know.
Obviously you're looking at,
you're used to look
at your phone.
screen which is quite almost like real
size to an extent if you know what I mean
like if you're doing that
whereas because that's a tiny
screen you're like I'm as close as this looks
because if I am we need to move further back
we need to move away yeah
we'll let you know how that looks and if it doesn't go up
on Patreon then you'll know why
yeah we'll try again
we'll need to go back to Glen Eagles now we need to come back
and it's she did it all over again
but we went across to
because I hadn't been to screening
girls for that long I obviously hadn't explored the grounds
out with the hotel
see I use that word there
smart
it was a
is it the sporting centre
sporting club
sporting club
yeah
somebody works at Green Eagles
I was having a big rant
to Zoe that
because you know
Glen Eagles is a little bit
high brow
it's very
you have the horse ride
when you're young
it's you're wearing
barber jackets
it's old as fuck money
you're driving
the old school
range rovers
you're driving no defender
you're driving like
the big truck
you're annoyed that like
young rich wolf are getting defenders now
correct so
I can feel a little bit like okay I'm not sure
I want to go and do all this posh
sporting malarkey yeah but
they do when I went into the sporting centre
they have like a climbing wall they had a big
massive paddle court and I don't know they had
music on that was like house music in there
it's very cool vibes and all the interior
somebody has come from Soho home
or Soho House absolutely because even the
lamps were from Soho home and they've just made it
Just did pick up the lamp just to check the
on the bottom of it, which was obviously appropriate.
I was like, I love that lamp.
I think that's so her home.
Picked it up and I was like, I can confirm it is.
It was a big lamp, by the way.
Massive.
I checked online after because I thought,
I'll be perfect in my living room.
It was about 500 pound.
Should I just stuck it in your bag whilst you were there?
Thought that.
It was in your hands anyway.
You're ready.
See you.
Stuck in the bottom of the dam pocket.
And then we walked out the doors
and there was somebody trotting along with horses and that.
It was just very, I don't know, next level.
But it is like,
As you said, even though it is kind of old money vibes,
the sporting club and everything's really cool,
and even just things like they've hot towels,
hot and cold towels there that you can just take and use the lemon water,
like just things like that that make it a lot more enjoyable.
They put a Tommy-Tippy nappy bin in the room,
and I thought that was really cool.
I was like, not that I would ever even notice,
but the fact that they...
It was actually me that noticed, isn't it?
Yeah, it was you?
I was such a napi bin in there, by the way.
You've got that napi-bin in your nursery in here.
I was like, no way.
A wooden cart for Jensen
A little tiny dressing gown
And little slippers
Which obviously didn't fit him
Baby bubble bath and baby lotion
Are we toy?
A little squirrel teddy thing
Yeah
What I was going to say about the
Outside area of the sporting place
They have like a go ape thing
They have like four by four go carts
You're in the toilet at this point
I was asking the guy
And he's like yeah we've got like zip lines
There's like obstacle courses outside
I don't go and climb
Then there's the shooting range
which I did years ago, I did clay pigeon shooting.
What's that bird thing?
Oh my God, yeah.
We weren't sure on that.
I don't think I like that.
Birds being kept in weak-age things.
I don't think I like that at all.
So we were walking.
There was an owl.
It was an owl.
This is going to make me sound dumb as shit, right?
But if you ever actually kind of just thought an owl's even new?
Well, you don't see them.
Exactly.
Like, you know, owls in a thing, right?
But, like, when have you ever seen one you not?
And a bit I'm already showed us that picture of a reindeer.
I've never seen a reindeer in my life.
I've seen like a deer but not a reindeer.
No.
Different things?
Yes.
Money's got a mic.
What the hell speak up.
Sorry.
You whispered it to the mic.
Yes.
But I honestly truly don't think I've seen an owl like that before.
His head actually was like,
that is the only thing that moves and I felt sorry for him.
Same.
It was gorgeous as well.
I've got a good picture we'll put it in here, right?
What?
Behind a cage?
I know, maybe that's sick.
Because because we walked by, though, there was a guy flying them out.
Massive, massive flying, like, what do you call it, arena?
I don't know.
Field?
Yeah, like, it was outdoors, but it's got, like, the bits that they have to go and perch on.
Yeah.
And it was the biggest bird I've ever seen, personally, and it was an eagle that he was flying.
And I had to go, I was so excited.
Name the film.
The eagle is flying.
Richard does this to me all the time
I'm like, Tumboid.
What is it?
Princess Diaries.
We've never got that.
They're talking about the queen.
Okay.
So I saw this humongous eagle
and he was giving me all the information.
How old was he?
29.
29 years of age.
That's older than me.
So it is.
And he went...
That's weird.
Oh, this is not even the biggest one we've got.
Go and see the other one.
It's in the cage or the outdoor thing.
It was huge.
Massive.
And then there was a couple of these small ones,
and then there was all.
No, no.
That's when you see old money, though.
Do you know what I mean?
But they were born and bred there.
They don't know any different.
Listen, it's no different to my cats being in my gaff their whole life.
Is it?
I know.
I'm not sure.
They're treated amazing.
But I know they're not roaming free.
Listen, we did feel a bit weird by that, didn't we?
Yeah, we didn't really get the cabin or that I really
Because we were like, is this acceptable?
Okay, right.
And then we went home?
We did.
That was the busiest week of my life.
Yeah, so tell us what you did then.
Because we went to David Gray the Tuesday.
Oh, yes, so we did.
And here in Glen Eagles on the Wednesday.
Thursday night.
Well, Thursday night, I actually went to an event with my brother at Bad.
Oh, yeah, how was that?
They're doing like a kind of collab thing with Onus Pizza
where every Thursday
let me get this information
is actually quite a good deal
okay right so every Thursday
from 5 until 10
they're doing unlimited pizza
and barbecue for 20 quid
right
and obviously it was a scorching day
so you were like out in the beer
hall bit yeah yeah
that was opposite where we did our event
yes and then they've got
I didn't realize you can actually go upstairs there
yeah it was bloody brilliant by the way
so it's like I don't know who's doing the barbecue part
but it's like a partnership
with no one has said pizza.
So they give you a box
and it was like a hot dog,
a burger, some grilled chicken things
and then you like pick a few bits of pizza
and chips
and then you get a drink at the bar.
And that's when every Tuesday?
Every Thursday.
Sorry, every Thursday.
From 5 to 10.
Fabulous.
But it's quite a good thing
to just to pop into
if it's a nice night, do you know what I mean?
Anyway, I was actually the plus one.
Yes, to your brow.
To my brother and I thought
Fairfucks, you had them son, do you know what I mean?
On Friday, I went to London.
How is that?
Tell us it from start to finish.
Bloody gorgeous, what a weekend for it, by the way.
London's so good in the sun.
It was, it was really...
It's London's so good in the winter, like.
It's just a great place to visit and leave.
I know, well, that is the thing.
Like, actually, I'm usually quite happy to leave,
but I'd go back tomorrow.
Would you?
But it's the sun.
I know we've got sun.
Yeah, but there's...
That's why it's a good thing, I think.
We're actually got the same weather as London at the moment,
which is very rare.
We've just got a lack of the outdoor places that they've got
on, like, every corner.
We don't have it the same,
because we're not used to the weather as much.
But anyway, it went down there on the Friday,
flew down in the morning.
Didn't make my flight until the morning before, obviously.
I know, Zoe was in the bed with me,
and I was like, please just book your flight.
You know when there's just not a good option,
though, and it just stops you from booking it
because none of these are good options?
Because basically your flight was whatever price it was,
and then I was like, right, why don't you fly to here?
And then, but then if you add up the price of the Stansett Express,
and then it was all rounding up the same, wasn't it?
That's what I ended up doing,
but it was actually easy enough.
So on the Friday, I met our friend Molly,
went to the hotel.
How did you stay?
100 storage.
I've stayed there a few times.
It was just quite easy, I think.
Really nice rooftop there, bar.
Yeah.
Which we actually don't go to, by the way.
It doesn't open until 5.
Oh.
What?
And then it's not open on a Sunday.
And we were busy at night.
So it's like, we didn't have time to get.
What did they do a bottomless brunch though?
Maybe it's like once every.
On a Saturday, I think.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I'm sure.
I mean, it might be because we didn't try to go and
Saturday, to be fair, but the Friday night
we just got ready and everything, and then we went up to
a rooftop called Boundary. Yeah, I know the boundary, yeah.
Just down the corner.
Yeah. Little rooftop.
A couple of Apparoles. And then
we met my friend Abby, who lives there as well,
and went to a restaurant. I can't remember what was called, but it was
nothing like groundbreaking.
Okay. Was it Italian? Yeah.
Got some pasta, which was nice, to be fair.
Few drinks, and then we went to see the Great Gatsby Show.
And this is new, isn't it?
to West End
I'm going to put
something out there
Go and say it
Top three
Top three
Shut up
I would say
that's my top
three shows of all time
Amazing
And that's a large
statement
What's your top three
Wicked's obviously
in there
What's just
annoys me as well
Okay
Fine
Great Gatsby
Maybe
I know one
That you've said
Is your favourite
The Wattress
Yes
I thought it's something
called like
H
Heather
That was good as well
Three's hard drink
But that's
in there. I don't know what the third one is that can maybe come
and go. Change it in my mood
but Great Gatsby's up there. You said Mama May or no?
I prefer the film the show. I like
I just know the film too much
just like I'd go see other things
but anyway it was more like
Amber Davies was the lead from Love Island
she was amazing and the set and everything was so good
like that adds to it a lot
and was Amidavis good. She was so good
she. I don't know what to expect from her like I didn't know if I would
find it
quite unable to see her in character
because you kind of know her.
Yeah.
Do you get what I mean?
And like on love end
I think she was like,
I thought I say annoying
but she was quite kind of like nippy.
Yeah.
So it's like...
She's always been doing Western
didn't she since she's a kid.
Loved it so much honestly.
I'd recommend to everyone.
And I booked us tickets
like the start of the week
and we were back row of the stalls
but the stalls
there's not loads of rows
I think it was like row in
and we were in the middle section though
and honestly there were amazing seats
because the stalls where that shows in
rays rise
are risen
yeah that's the one
that's the one
where the stalls are quite shite if it's all the one level
because then you've got heat in front of you
but obviously it was fine
but the set was unbelievable
it was as if there was a pool
it was so good
recommends okay
I'm trying to think what the Great Gatsby
how they would make that into
who played Leonardo DiCaprio
I don't know.
Oh it was just a random
I think so, I'm not sure
I've actually not looked on the Instagram
to you because usually I quite like
a wee nosy who it was who
but I've not looked so it might be a somebody
I'm not sure, didn't recognise him though
was he handsome?
From afar he looked like
one of the actors from Top Gun
but the girls were like, you're so off it
we know when you just get something in your head
but
what I will say is
the film didn't grab me
I don't really remember the film to be honest
I don't know if I just watch
Like I don't remember it either
I just remember the GIF where he just puts up a champagne glass
Yeah same
But I don't really know
I think I tried to watch it
Honestly not even that long
Like maybe the last couple of years say
And I couldn't really get into it
I don't think I continued watching it
Yeah
So when we thought about going there
I was a bit like
I'm sure the show
Like I could imagine it'd be in a good show
And it was brilliant now
I would watch the film now
Did Abby and Molly agree
that it was top three
Molly said
she thinks it's the best show
she's ever seen
and Abby said the same thing
Abby's not seen
a lot of shows though
yeah
so she was like
I'm not seen loads
but it's probably top
there Molly said
I would walk right back
in there
and watch that all over again
I know she did
and the music
I would have too
was the music
original songs
or is it from the film
so I can't think
I couldn't tell you
because I don't even know
but the music
was good
you can sing along to
well I didn't know them
okay
so the original songs
then
yeah it's not like
They've not used, like, fucking, you want to single ladies, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like Mulan Rouge, that's what I don't like about that.
Anyway, really recommend everyone.
And then me and Molly cycled back to the hotel.
Gorge, on your boris bikes.
We've not called that anymore, are they?
On our line bikes.
Lion bikes.
Saturday we went for a workout in the morning to cycle, a spin cast.
Cycle with a P?
Yes, which I love.
Is it not always that?
No.
No, cycles a C.
Are you okay?
where and where
I think because I'm so used to seeing it
like at the weekend
I'm confused
went there, that
then we got some breakfast
then we just got
back to the hotel ready
and we went out
went to Borough Market
for some food
and drinks first
went to a tackle's place
called El Pasor
was really good
I just get fed up
eating messy stuff like that
do you what I mean
like bored
of trying to fit it in my mouth
Yeah
Was that one of the stores
or did you actually go into a
No, it was a wee restaurant right at the market
And then we just went to beer gardens all day honestly
In borough?
Yeah, round about all London Bridge area
Because they've got some really cool places around their pubs
I think the one we went to first was it called the anchor
And that's got a huge outdoor bit
So by the way if you're going down like that is a good bit to go to it
And luckily we were at the bar
And we thought right a couple of just go see if we can get a table thinking
We've got absolutely fucking any chance
I'm not joking, turned the corner right in the sun
somebody must have just left
at table all day
Then we walked back down
And you meet Carrie at this point
Yes we met our friend Carrie
And her friend Jack
At Borough Market that day
We were spending a day with them on Saturday
And Abby came again too
And then
Got lunch, went to there
Then we went to another place
Couldn't even tell you the name
By that point we were pushed
Because we were in this one for ages
Got harassed by a man which was fun
There was a drunk man right
And he came up and put his glass
On our table
Because he was done with it
and then he took it away
and we were like, how annoying is that the people do
but we're outside on like a barrel
we're not the fucking bar
and we're also not a bin
like we're surrounded a barrel
and you just keep coming
and putting your glass on you lazy shite
so he did it once more
and I think Jack may have said to him
like she said like
yeah can you not like
this is her table
and he was so drunk beyond bleak
and he said to him like
if you were a girl and I was a boy
and we were like
you are girls and you are a boy
I think he was trying to obviously say the opposite
And I don't know whether he was going to say
That behaviour wouldn't have been acceptable from you
Or if he was trying to say
I don't have a fucking clue
But he was trying to say that he was pushed
And you were all looking at him like
Are you actually okay
So it ends up getting him chucked out
But he was unwell
I think
There's nothing worse than a really drunk man
He was just prancing about the place
Like
And the fact that he kept saying stuff at that
I was like you don't even know what you're saying
Anyway, beer gardens all day all night
I think I was drinking from two to one
It's like a 12 hours going on there
Unhinged
And then on Sunday we just went a wee wander
About really
I was really hoping you would try that Scottish
Roll Place in London
Is it called the Old Hag?
Never heard of it
Yes you have
We speak about it in the chat
They spell old like A-U-L-D
How you lot say it
Spell it
Old hag
And they do the
like just like normal like tattie scorn rolling sausage or that wasn't even on my radar i can only
apologize but apparently it's amazing i really wish it was here yes i don't need to go back
yeah you should um anything else then we just went a wee walk up what do you call is it spitterfields
yeah walked around there a wee bit of shopping wee bit of lunch and then it was home time for me
where did you have lunch what did you have lunch what did
to we actually do.
Oh, we end up just going to box park.
Nice.
Love it there.
We had to get our bags
and everything again.
And also, you know,
that way when you're,
like we weren't dying
from a hangover,
but it's just that underlying.
Like, I don't know what I feel like
eating, and I even want to eat.
I'm so dehydrated.
You know, that kind of like,
and it was roasting hot
so you're just about like I need up the road.
Yeah.
So I just get some sweet potato fries.
Did you fly back from Sunset?
Yeah.
So I got the train back and it was a tough journey,
I'd say.
Oh my God.
And then the train that.
I'm okay
the plane
tried to land
and it did
that thing
that it went
straight back up
into there
why why why why
I thought
it's this my time
because if it is
that it's okay
but just let me know
why
why does it do that
I don't know about this
so sometimes
if they can't
like
apparently it's actually
always a pilot fault
but they would never say that
like they've not
they've not processed
the landing right
right
I thought that's so
good to know
but they said
basically
that the
runway we were going into
had a plane in it
that was obviously taken off but then that
had a default so they had to get everyone off the plane
so by the point we were meant to go in it it was still busy
right. It was occupied though
so the plane had to go right back up in the sky
when I say I'm surprised I was not shit on my pants
there is nothing worse
when you think it's your time in the air
and I thought do you know what I wouldn't even be mad
because you feel like shit
I was ready
I was like, do you know what?
I'm ending it on a high, I'm ready.
But I was at the aisle and the girl at the window
kind of like shot herself.
And the women in between was like,
it's happened before and I actually,
surprisingly, spoke up and said,
don't worry, like, it's happened to me before
because it has happened to me before.
And I know that I'm not a great fly
and I thought that's a shame if she's freaking out.
But then we were like circling for 10 minutes
and I thought this could go on for hours.
But luckily it was only about 10 minutes.
What is it? Sleazy jet.
Sleazy jet.
I'm never a fucking sleazy jet, honestly.
I'm kidding that alive.
Anyway, I've spoken for a too long
What have you been up to?
Nothing.
Baco!
Perfect.
New openings?
No.
I've went to a few places to eat,
which I think is worth talking about.
I went to
Cafe Strange in the South Side,
which I've been to many times.
Legendary place.
I wanted to go and try Henry's.
Oh, yeah?
Because they do small place,
but they didn't serve.
We go there for a drink one.
one time? Yes, we did. Yeah. We did our bar. No, we didn't do that on our bar called, didn't
we didn't. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Good outdoors, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I wanted to go there for some small plates, but it didn't open until five the kitchen.
So I went next door to Cafe Strange and had the most amazing cheese, chili jam and kimchi
toasty, right? It was filled to the brim of cheese. It was amazing. And a Vietnamese ice
coffee, so good. It sat in the sun. And you were just saying, like, about a drunk man. Well, we were
sat there and I was feeding Jensen and this
I don't know if he was homeless but he
was a very Heiser kite guy
came over. Oh I don't like that.
At the same time another
drunk couple were
walking by and this guy was
very over the top. He was actually
hugging a delivery driver saying
screaming that he was the local legend right
he had his top off and I thought oh my god
this is just so chaotic and then he kept
saying excuse me excuse me
the couple guy with a couple
this is the local legend
So I was like, okay, ha-ha, obviously I've got Jensen in my arms.
Meanwhile, this homeless guy was coming up to me.
He clocked the pram and came over, stumbled over and went to look in the pram.
Richard was like, no mate, no mate, like back off.
Next minute, he is in a headlock being twisted round, completely out for the count.
The other guy ran over and completely just did him.
Saved them from you?
Yeah, but he was just obviously being over the top.
He didn't need to do that.
But it was like, it's all right, it's all right.
I've got this, I've got this.
But the guy was actually in it.
He must have done some martial arts or something
because he was, boom.
That's the most eventful thing I've ever heard more.
And even Richard was like, fucking I ain't messing with him.
He was like, mate, it's okay, it's okay.
And he goes, you don't touch babies.
And I was like, well, the baby's here.
I mean, he's not wrong.
He hadn't, no, he didn't get me wrong.
He was being nice, but it was just a very intense time.
The woman of Cafe Strange came out.
She was like, please stop.
They started like having a scrap.
Oh my dear Lord.
Meanwhile, he's his absolutely loving life.
And then he's, this other guy tries to start talking to me.
And I was like, oh, how old is he?
I was like, oh, he's just feeding at the moment.
Then he was like, I am so sorry.
I shouldn't be, because he's obviously on my boob.
I was like, mate, it's okay.
Just relax.
There's a lot going on at CAFE exchange, but never again.
Woman kept apologised.
She brought me out of strawberry tart to apologize for the emotion.
I'll be back.
So that was quite eventful on Thursday.
Fuck, Neil.
that, isn't he her?
Then we walked down through Victoria Park and went to Peacocks,
which is the ice cream place that was at Dockyard Social back in the day.
The Canadian ice cream place,
but they've not opened their own beautiful ice cream parlour,
which is near Southside somewhere.
But as I was walking down through Southside,
I noticed that Pasano Pizza is going to be opening on the corner.
Did you know that?
No.
Massive new one.
It's not open yet.
Are people still into that?
I mean, I don't know, but I mean, it's quite good.
It's right near Marlborough, the old.
the new place that was the old shed.
Yeah.
So that's opening in Southside.
And then I went on Sunday to the Clarence,
which is the old Shucks Woodlands Road.
Yes.
Yeah.
Now I got invited to there maybe two days before I gave birth.
I got invited to the opening.
I never posted about it because my mind was elsewhere
and it was actually beautiful.
And I haven't been back since,
but I knew when I was there they told me that
they're going to start doing Sunday Rose.
That looks good.
So I thought, you know what?
I'll go, Zoe, it was amazing.
Best in Glasgow?
Yeah, I would say so far that was probably the best
in terms of like taste.
Like the meat was melting the mouth, gorgeous.
The gravy was so delicious.
I mean, bear in mind these chefs are, they're amazing.
They're from Kalebrook, you know, the Michigan-star restaurant in Glasgow.
go, so they know their shit.
So I knew it's going to be a good roast.
The roast potatoes are amazing.
cauliflower cheese, so, you know.
It's up there.
It's up there.
I had a nice glass of red, and it was just a really nice Sunday.
Had a sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
Proper Sunday scram.
Love it.
So, yeah, I really, really recommend there.
Perfect.
And you had that up then.
And then the last new place that I went to was by his road.
I think it was after.
When did we go?
I mean, Rich, I mean, we've been everywhere.
He also went to the pizza place you went to.
Sears?
Sears.
He had a slice.
I was too full to eat, but he had a pizza.
Did you enjoy it?
Yeah, loved it.
So it was great.
Good.
I went to Haiti, which is the new hyped up.
As the name of that, like, hey.
Tea.
Haiti, yeah.
It's the new hyped up place on Byes Road, matcha, very futuristic.
I felt like I was having an experience queuing up there.
It was like an episode of Black Mirror.
it was mental.
Eye robot sort of apes.
Very much so.
I don't know, it was so cool in there,
but it's just like something I've never experienced before in my life.
And I waited a long, long time, by the way.
So if you are going, guys,
it's a massive, popular tea chain restaurant in China.
That's come to, I think it's in London,
it's in Soho, but it's come to Glasgow.
Right.
And I think it's a perfect location
because there's so many Chinese exchange students in the uni.
So it's right next to the uni.
So I think it's amazing.
location for that but the queue is massive it clearly is very popular over in china because it was
just mobbed that's crazy isn't it and i went for the matcha cloud and this means it's like
cream cheese frosting on top which an acquired taste felt violently ill after and then i got rich of this
like he's like oh just get me anything get me like a fruit tea and i got him the most vile lumpy
mango passion fruit listen it was unique it was different but i should
strongly don't recommend if that's not what you're into.
It was like eating sick.
No, hard note.
Mixed with like cream.
No.
It's Gavin.
A very strange concept.
Stangy Arshel.
Yes.
He put it straight in the bin.
I was like, that cost me 17 quid.
By the way, expensive as hell.
17 for one?
No, no, no, no.
For two.
Yeah.
I was shook at that.
Let's go on to some new openings that we keep banging on that we're going to talk about.
Yeah.
We haven't.
But there are some good places around Glasgow.
So sorry, this is just Glasgow at the moment.
So if you have got any new places in Edinburgh, Manchester, London, let us know.
But this is just mango.
This is just Glasgow.
Mango's number one of the list.
Mango has opened on McCannock Street.
Big, massive one.
It's got Mango Man as well.
That's very European of us.
I think is Mango still in Buchanan Galleries or not?
No.
Closed.
that was shite anyway I think
we needed to bigger and better
agree
have you been in it
yes a few times
good and yeah it's got
the upstairs is good as well
remember I said you last week
on Patreon that
I did love that there's loads of red
blue and white everywhere and it's
all in that one right okay
because you can definitely get good mangos
and shite mangoes
yeah we've said about the fort mango
yeah
but this is
because it's got the two floors
you've got a little bit of younger mango in there as well
bit of both
yeah space NK
expansion
have you been in yet
I've not been to the shops in Glasgow for some time
so no I'm not
It's bloody brilliant
I'm going in this week so I'll be in there
It's got every brand you could possibly think of in there
I just think feeling down
Space NK trip
Couldn't agree
Feeling bougie, Space NK trip
I'm going to say it's Space NK over Sephora
every day for me
Oh 1,000% Sephora's super drug to Space NK
And Space NK I've been a big fan of for years
and I think people have really known that it's on the radar
and what sort of things it stocks until recently.
It was a bit more kind of old money vibes again.
You'd find it in Chelsea, in London.
What about Uniclo?
Is that opened yet?
No, I don't think so.
Is there anything about that going on?
Oh, it's in the way.
Is it we opening soon?
Are we seeing it visibly?
Yes.
Right, okay.
So we're just waiting.
Yeah.
Dishu is coming to Glasgow.
I think that's a big massive green flag.
for Glasgow.
And Zoe, can we just please discuss what I said.
Was it to you or was it to Richard?
It was to you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
When we were down the Canistery and I said, look at that building.
Remember?
That'd be perfect.
And I said that would be perfect for something like DeSum.
You did say that.
And then two months later, it's clowing in that bloody building.
I do think that's perfect though.
You know, we're retail's number one fan.
We love it.
We love it.
Desium breakfast.
Unbelievable.
What's it called?
the chili nan
I was trying to tell Alan what it is
Chili
Breakfast Nan
Yeah
And their black down
Oh my God
I do love it
Remember we went near London
Do you not see Louis Thomason
Yes
It wasn't Louis Thomason
It was the Irish one
Is it not?
Nile
Nile was sat in there
The Shoreditch one
Right near where you stayed
I know I did think about it actually
Then we've got two new
Really cool
There are hipsy places opening
We've got the
Corner Shop
which is
so let me get this one straight
because they both sound very similar
we've got the caravan shop
and the corner shop
the corner shop
is the old
grain and grind
near the brunch club
in Finnerston
yeah
yeah
it's giving
it's very like
Basque food
small plates
gilder
nice
it's giving like a nice
Friday night vibe
yeah
and then
And you've got the caravan shop, which is the same owners as Brett, which is bang opposite Brett.
And that is, again, a bit of small plates if you're going for a nice wine and charcutory vibe.
So a lot of good places they could try, I think, yeah.
Zanor have opened a coffee shop in South Side.
That's edgy, AJ, AJ, isn't it?
I got hit in the face, hipster smacked when I walked in there.
That, whoa, fuck it out!
Couldn't believe it.
It's like, this is so edgy.
I'd walk in, and the floor would shoot me out of the ceiling.
out you get a scumbag
I was like
this is a bit much
ejected immediately
okay
but listen
cool as hell
but
fair fuck
maybe I'll get in
I've got solomon's on
you'll get
accepted
tick
also I saw that
there was a new
1841 coming
which Jess was like
what the fuck's that
you told me to go there
I actually did
tell you to go there
Hidden gem
It's like a coffee cake shop next to Capow
in the West End at the moment
but I don't think their new place is open yet
I had a look on their Instagram earlier
but I think it's also opening in the West End
just a bigger premises
Whereabouts that's that going to be? Do you know?
I don't know it says around the corner
So that would be Bayer's Road
Right
Because that's just off of Byers Road isn't it?
Yes
So a bigger one of that
But we got cakes and things from that other week there
And they were good
Yeah
Another place I'd love to shout out about actually
When I went to the Clarence
I walked by a new pasta place on
Right near Lily Bakes Cakes
And it's called
Salendinis
Look at how cool this place is
So it's handmade fresh pasta deli
So they hand-roll all of their pastas
And then you can go in there
Just buy all different shapes of pasta
And then you buy the jarred sauces with it
So you've just got your meal for home
So cool
I like the idea of that
Yeah me too
nice location as well
but when I went in
I went to go in the other day
and it was closing
so they're like sorry
I've actually started
doing something that you do
in writing a list on my phone
of places you want to take up
of places because it's so hard
to when you actually
are in the moment of
do you like to go out for dinner
you can't think of one single place
or someone says
to where's good to go for dinner
not a single place
comes into your mind apart for Sougal
I know by the way
I've got 273 places
on my Glasgow map
If you ever...
That's crazy. I don't even think there was that many people in Glasgow
honestly. I can share it. Blank streets open on Byers Road now.
You were in a blank street, I saw that.
Yesterday. Byers Road won.
What bike didn't even know it was open? I thought that was going to take ages after the one
at Central Station.
So did that actually. I assumed you were in Central.
And it's... No, and it's very...
The interior is different to the one in town. It's very, I know,
it's understated.
Really? Yeah.
I obviously passed quite a few of them in London.
And this is what I was saying.
I mean, I'm not anti-Map.
actually anything really that much anyway right but there was no desire to be like
oh cool I'm in London I've got Blank Street because you've got them now what you're
saying last week yeah I mean it's obviously a good thing yeah but it does lose
that sort of exciting but maybe I also didn't feel that because as I said I'm not
massively into that anywho anyway I hope that gets you all out and about there's
also a street-free place I don't know if this is new but you guys might know but
it's a Thai place Thai street-free place in Southside called Chalk Pet Noi
Looks really good, by the way.
If you like Thai food, you love Thai food.
I do.
You get yourself then.
By the way, you know, holy fuck.
Of course.
It would have been to before.
When I was at the bad event another night,
the family who owned it were there.
It was a mom and dad and two kids,
and honestly, it was adorable.
Aw, she's lovely, she is.
They were fucking gorgeous a lot, by the way.
Were they?
Well cute family.
It's not good on you.
What an amazing business venture, by the way.
I know.
Keep saying that as well.
Great name.
There's a new sandwich shop called Fresco.
opened as well in Finiston.
That's what we need, I think, more
sandwich shops.
Also, I know we speak about juicy quite a lot, right?
But I got us a
salad rice bowl over there, the other day.
That was so nice, so way.
It's fucking unbelievable.
I'm so glad you picked that for me because I would never
ever have picked that combination that you put in that
salad bowl. It was gorgeous, but I...
I think that was, but I would have gone for the chicken.
I did think that, and then, you know what?
On the way home, I thought we can...
Like, it doesn't matter who has what.
and then I got starving, starshed eating one
and I realised that was actually the one I got for you
that was half leaves in it.
And you got me pickled cabbage with my tuna
and it was such an iconic move.
Edomami beans I put in there for you.
Yeah, rice, really brilliant.
Really recommend.
Right, we've got some dilemmas.
Some good, juicy dilemmas.
Thank you so much for you guys sending them in, by the way.
We absolutely flippin' love it.
Flipping love it, absolutely.
One of our lovely Patreon pigs
wrote this in, by the way, on a direct mess.
and I think fucking good on you.
Right.
Last year my long-term partner and I moved in together after he left the army.
Things quickly went downhill as he began treating me more like a second mum than an equal partner.
Sure.
Expecting me to do everything for him.
We were both miserable so we decided to split up.
He planned to rejoin the army and move away,
while I would stay in the flat as I loved it and didn't want to leave.
The tenancy was only in his name and as they would need to be proof of me living there for a year
before we could transfer officially into mine.
in the main time I agreed to keep paying the rent through him since according to him it was paid by direct debit and couldn't be easily changed I trusted him so I'd been transferring him the rent money directly into his account now three months after the breakup I found out from one of his family members he has a new girlfriend who lives in Ireland but they have warned me that he really didn't want me to know about it and ask to keep it to myself since we have been measuring regularly about the flats and speaking up I decided to message him and ask that he give me all his login details so I can report repairs etc
for the flat and not need to speak to him as much.
I asked mostly out of respect of his new partner
but didn't actually mention that that was the reason
so I didn't grass his family in.
Do you know what grass means?
Yes.
He was really reluctant but eventually caved
and gave me access to the portal.
That's when I then found out he hasn't been paying the rent
and must have been just taking the money for himself.
I confronted him and he tried to guilt trip me
and said he was struggling
and that my money was being eaten up by his car bills
and that he was going to make it right at the end of this month.
But little does he know, I'm aware of his new girlfriend
that he's been regularly visiting in Ireland
and going to fancy restaurants, etc. with.
Wow.
So if he's been struggling so much,
has my rent money been funding all of this
with his new relationship?
To make things worse,
he started dating her just a few weeks after her breakup,
all while still calling me, crying,
saying he missed me and still loved me.
I felt for it.
I fell for it and slept with him a few weeks ago.
Don't judge I know it was stupid,
but that means that he used, he used me,
to cheat on her.
I'm so glad to be out of that situation.
Thankfully, I had enough savings that I could pay for the rent,
but I feel awful for her as she's probably thinking
she's dating the best things in sliced bread.
Meanwhile, she has no idea but what's been
going on behind the scenes. I'm not going
to get involved, but part of me hopes this story
finds her way to her so she can somehow run
for the hills.
Shadow from the rooftops.
Where are they based?
Do they Glasgow?
Here, I think.
If you're listening to this podcast,
You've got a guy that's visiting you.
In Ireland.
In Ireland.
And he's an army.
He's cheating on your babe.
Oh, sorry.
He is cheating on your babe.
That's shite, by the way.
Does he know that she knows that he's got another girlfriend?
Like, has she said to him, I know you're seeing a girl in Ireland or not?
It's like she kept that completely to herself still, or what?
Is she just hoping that this message gets back to her and she doesn't have to get involved?
No, I don't think she's actually mentioned that.
I was just looking there.
She did confront him about not paying the red.
Yeah.
But that's when...
She doesn't want to get his family in trouble there, does she?
That's correct.
So I don't think he knows that she knows.
Interesting.
Boys are bastards, honestly, they are.
I mean, yes, obviously he's very bad.
He is.
But she had a...
thing with him when she knew that
he was already entangled somewhere
she does know he's with someone
so she's using this to her advantage
of just thinking like I've still got
him well I'm confused
right because
she says he started
dating her a few weeks after her
breakup
and then that's when he was calling
and saying I'm a shun all that right
and then she says I fell for it and slept with him
a few weeks ago but I don't know if she
means I go from like now
known this information or did she mean
a few weeks after the guilt trip from him
but equally
I think she maybe still knew
yeah regardless of when it was
joke there she is though see if you've been
see if she's the one that's had to flatten everything with him
she'll just feel that she's got the upper hand and it's okay for her to do that
no I agree with you on that even though it isn't morally okay right
because you shouldn't get involved with someone else's man or girl
but it would be hard not to
if you still had feelings there
and you've been with them before
I've done that before with my ex
oh absolutely
I have
because you do feel like me's mine
yeah
I mean I was very young
I know me too
but I definitely had that mindset of
he's mine
which is so toxic
no I know but I'm not judging her for that
I'm not judging you either huh
and it's because I think it must be so difficult
not to especially if someone's telling you
they still love you and all that
quite easily to get back in.
Especially if you're not moved on
and you haven't got someone new and all that.
And you haven't got any loyalties to this girl,
but you clearly are,
you feel bad for her now.
I do think I would do the same
and not get involved, do I'll be honest.
I wouldn't.
I just don't think it's worth it.
It's all being a girl's girl in that,
but she really isn't,
he and her really not your issue.
Like he's just needs to,
you don't know what he's telling her either.
Exactly.
Do you even know if they are actually together though?
And also maybe he's been over and seen her and thought, by the way, I fucked up.
And she might say, yeah, I know, cool story to the girl if she did tell her, do you know what I mean?
I do think it's so hard, like if you know information, whether you should tell or not,
because you're kind of letting someone live on, not knowing the truth about stuff.
But then if it's nothing to do you, then...
I know.
So it's a hard one.
You never know, she might be shagging our ex as well.
Well.
That's true.
I'd say, don't get involved.
I mean, does she ask us at our advice?
She just wanted to just offload, get it off a plate?
She wanted to offload, get it off that plate of hers.
Fair fucks, honey.
And I hope she now feels better about it.
Yeah.
And you know what?
This may get back to that person.
And he may then realize who really wants.
I know, maybe we'll come running back.
Don't you take him back, love?
I was just going to say maybe he'll come on him back and you'll say,
get yourself so fat at that way.
Get yourself so fat and back.
Okay, this is a good one.
Hi, my girls.
My dilemma this week is I've sold my flat and I'm looking to buy a new flat and it's all such a stress.
I feel like the experts for advice in this field are essentially also the salespeople looking to make commission on new buying from them and it's all just such smoke and mirrors.
The way that flat houses sales work with the home report value and then the offers over stuff is such a flawed system and it's a real slog.
Obviously feel very lucky to be in this position but it feels like such a huge life decision that you usually have to make.
make after 15 minute viewing.
So fair, by the way.
I just wondered if any podpigs have any advice or you girls have any advice.
I'm also needing to pack up a move and wow, wish I could just tap into the amazing
system method, but their insta and tips have definitely got me in a good brain space for
tackling it.
Oh, that's cute.
I could not agree more on the flawed Scottish system of housing market.
I guess you're only used to that, but the whole home report market value,
what it goes for, what it goes over, and you need that in cash.
It is mind-blowing.
It's almost like that figure that you see on Right Move needs to be scrapped because...
There's no point in it, really?
There's no point on that.
You've got the home report, and then now everything's going 20% over,
and if you go over, you have to have that in cash.
Who has that sort of money in cash?
I know people do, but most people don't, and that's why you're always outbidded,
because the places that you want go to a closing date,
you're outbidded by someone that's got a big lump sum of cash,
or the first-time buyers are more of a favourable buyer to the seller.
It's really, really tough market, I think.
But also if you're the first-time buyer,
you quite often don't have a wad of cash
because you've not sold a place.
Yeah.
Or you don't have a place to sell.
I don't know what she means, though.
It's like the people who know this,
unless you've got someone who works in the fields close to,
the people who you can ask for advice
are also the ones that just want the most money out of you.
Yeah, so I met up my friend yesterday.
She's just buying a really fancy flat in the West End,
and she showed me the home,
the listing on right move
and for what she bought it for
it is extremely over that
I was shocked by that she said the housing market
at the moment is through the roof
however a good tip she said to me was
that she I asked her who she was selling it through
what estate agent
and they take roughly around like 1%
and she said that this place
took 0.5%
so that's why she went with them
but she ended up bartering with them
and got them down to 0.4%.
And I never knew you could do that with the
agents you could actually
I wouldn't do that to a single person
I forget that that's a thing in life
yeah and they'll
they she got them down to 0.4
I cannot for the life of me
remember the name I hadn't heard of them
upload the boards
no it wasn't them
upload a board
but yeah
so there are places out there that you can
definitely have a little
back and forth and then she had the whole stamp
duty thing on top and I was like
fuck that I honestly think in these
situations like I'm very
guilty of forgetting that I'm a grown woman so it's kind of like you kind of just need to put
your big girl shoes on and like pretend you're your parent in the situation what would your
parents say? Like they'd be like is it really worth it because I'd be like okay no problem
do what I mean yeah just ask around and I never knew you could do that though no I know but I
even mean just in terms of like they're saying that this is a good thing is it really yeah you
might be a second guessing or they just try to sell me a place I
I think the only thing you can do in that situation
to ask a million questions to different people.
Yeah.
And then you'll kind of get a common ground.
And you've got your whole mortgage rates as well,
which are all over the place at the moment.
Then you've got the transfer of a mortgage to another property
if you want to keep it.
I think if there's any girl who's listening to this
that working like home mortgages or your estate agents,
anonymously, send us your tips in.
Send us your tips for any of our listeners
and their first-time buyers.
And we can help the girlies out.

amazing
I actually think
from working with someone in that field
if you are feeling a bit
kind of stuck or you're not sure who to trust or whatever
reach out to maybe someone that does it
independently because they are more likely to
obviously you're not
kind of speak for everyone right
but if they're like almost like a one man band
they're going to want to help people more
and have a more personal experience rather
than like you're working for a firm that's not your own
and it's a thick-in-the-box exercise.
So that might be a good way
to maybe feel a bit more comfortable.
Yeah.
Like kind of understand exactly what you can afford.
That's kind of thing she'll do is like
give you your exact budget,
look at all your monthly spendings and everything.
Obviously that's more mortgage specific.
Yeah.
But there's obviously loads of things around that
that actually guide you to the final process anyway.
so that might be an option

Hi, guys, listen to the pod today about products you can't live without,
and I have two.
Yes, to the Mitchum roll on,
but honestly trust me when I tell you to use the roll on,
let it dry a little, and then the Mitchum spray on top.
It locks it in and it lasts all day.
Right.
Great tip.
Okay.
Number two.
Zio skincare, gentle cleanser for us girls with sensitive skin.
Because me and you love the exfoliating.
Spoling one, but.
I used the expolating one and it totally fucked my skin barrier.
Ooh, was having bad breakouts and thought it was my skin purging, but no, it was just too much for my skin.
And then I switched to the gentle cleanser and my skin has never been better.
Honestly, it's fixed almost instantly and lasts just as long as the exfoliating one.
Zio moisturizer also pricey, but it's top tier.
That's good to know, by the way, because I'm.
I'll be honest.
I just assumed that was the only cleanser they had.
I'll be honest with you same.
I didn't know if they did another one.
Because you've never heard anyone not just using.
Do you know, I might try that
because I feel like I don't know
if I need the exfoliating one all the time.
Yeah.
You don't need to exfoliate a vase every day.
No.
I haven't used that in ages.
I haven't used it in so long
and do you know what I miss it because it does last ages
and it's beautiful.
Feels nice.
Feels gorge.
