Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:19 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
Starting point is 00:00:33 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
Starting point is 00:00:48 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
Starting point is 00:01:01 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
Starting point is 00:01:14 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
Starting point is 00:01:26 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.
Starting point is 00:01:43 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.
Starting point is 00:02:02 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?
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:29 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,
Starting point is 00:02:46 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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
Starting point is 00:03:17 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.
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:04:11 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.
Starting point is 00:04:31 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
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:53 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:18 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?
Starting point is 00:05:31 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.
Starting point is 00:05:44 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
Starting point is 00:06:06 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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?
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 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
Starting point is 00:07:30 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
Starting point is 00:07:43 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
Starting point is 00:07:59 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
Starting point is 00:08:11 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
Starting point is 00:08:25 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
Starting point is 00:08:40 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,
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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.
Starting point is 00:09:27 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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
Starting point is 00:09:57 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
Starting point is 00:10:08 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.
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:50 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.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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
Starting point is 00:11:25 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.
Starting point is 00:11:32 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.
Starting point is 00:11:41 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
Starting point is 00:11:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:06 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
Starting point is 00:12:19 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
Starting point is 00:12:29 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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
Starting point is 00:12:48 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
Starting point is 00:13:05 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.
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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,
Starting point is 00:13:46 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...
Starting point is 00:14:06 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
Starting point is 00:14:16 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
Starting point is 00:14:30 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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.
Starting point is 00:14:55 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.
Starting point is 00:15:09 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.
Starting point is 00:15:21 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?
Starting point is 00:15:39 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.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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?
Starting point is 00:16:19 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.
Starting point is 00:16:31 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.
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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?
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:20 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
Starting point is 00:17:36 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
Starting point is 00:17:51 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.
Starting point is 00:18:06 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.
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:26 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...
Starting point is 00:18:41 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.
Starting point is 00:18:53 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.
Starting point is 00:19:04 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?
Starting point is 00:19:21 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:20:39 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
Starting point is 00:20:47 in there What's just annoys me as well Okay Fine Great Gatsby Maybe I know one
Starting point is 00:20:53 That you've said Is your favourite The Wattress Yes I thought it's something called like H Heather
Starting point is 00:21:00 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
Starting point is 00:21:16 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
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:47 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
Starting point is 00:21:56 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
Starting point is 00:22:11 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
Starting point is 00:22:23 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
Starting point is 00:22:38 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
Starting point is 00:22:53 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
Starting point is 00:23:08 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
Starting point is 00:23:20 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
Starting point is 00:23:32 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
Starting point is 00:23:40 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
Starting point is 00:23:46 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
Starting point is 00:23:55 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
Starting point is 00:24:02 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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?
Starting point is 00:24:32 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
Starting point is 00:24:44 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
Starting point is 00:24:54 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
Starting point is 00:25:03 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
Starting point is 00:25:24 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
Starting point is 00:25:38 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
Starting point is 00:25:48 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
Starting point is 00:26:01 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
Starting point is 00:26:14 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
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:40 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
Starting point is 00:26:53 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
Starting point is 00:27:10 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
Starting point is 00:27:22 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.
Starting point is 00:27:55 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
Starting point is 00:28:04 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I'm okay the plane tried to land and it did that thing that it went straight back up into there
Starting point is 00:28:31 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
Starting point is 00:28:37 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
Starting point is 00:28:46 they've not processed the landing right right I thought that's so good to know but they said basically that the
Starting point is 00:28:54 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
Starting point is 00:29:12 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
Starting point is 00:29:30 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.
Starting point is 00:29:43 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
Starting point is 00:29:56 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:55 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
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:30 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.
Starting point is 00:31:55 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 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.
Starting point is 00:32:25 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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,
Starting point is 00:32:56 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.
Starting point is 00:33:13 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.
Starting point is 00:33:27 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 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
Starting point is 00:34:06 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.
Starting point is 00:34:24 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.
Starting point is 00:34:38 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?
Starting point is 00:34:53 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.
Starting point is 00:35:03 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.
Starting point is 00:35:19 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.
Starting point is 00:35:39 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
Starting point is 00:36:07 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.
Starting point is 00:36:27 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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.
Starting point is 00:36:51 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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
Starting point is 00:37:23 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
Starting point is 00:37:34 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
Starting point is 00:37:45 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
Starting point is 00:38:02 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
Starting point is 00:38:17 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.
Starting point is 00:38:34 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.
Starting point is 00:38:45 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?
Starting point is 00:38:57 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.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Desium breakfast. Unbelievable. What's it called? the chili nan I was trying to tell Alan what it is Chili Breakfast Nan Yeah
Starting point is 00:39:20 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
Starting point is 00:39:30 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
Starting point is 00:39:39 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
Starting point is 00:39:51 the corner shop is the old grain and grind near the brunch club in Finnerston yeah yeah it's giving
Starting point is 00:40:02 it's very like Basque food small plates gilder nice it's giving like a nice Friday night vibe yeah
Starting point is 00:40:12 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!
Starting point is 00:40:38 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
Starting point is 00:40:51 but listen cool as hell but fair fuck maybe I'll get in I've got solomon's on you'll get accepted
Starting point is 00:40:59 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
Starting point is 00:41:10 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
Starting point is 00:41:25 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
Starting point is 00:41:39 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
Starting point is 00:41:54 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
Starting point is 00:42:08 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
Starting point is 00:42:18 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
Starting point is 00:42:31 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...
Starting point is 00:42:41 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...
Starting point is 00:42:58 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
Starting point is 00:43:18 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.
Starting point is 00:43:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:57 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.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.
Starting point is 00:44:21 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...
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:50 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.
Starting point is 00:45:08 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,
Starting point is 00:45:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:17 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
Starting point is 00:46:33 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
Starting point is 00:46:48 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,
Starting point is 00:47:03 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
Starting point is 00:47:20 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,
Starting point is 00:47:36 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.
Starting point is 00:47:52 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.
Starting point is 00:48:18 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.
Starting point is 00:48:34 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
Starting point is 00:48:49 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
Starting point is 00:49:05 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
Starting point is 00:49:28 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
Starting point is 00:49:43 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
Starting point is 00:49:56 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,
Starting point is 00:50:11 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,
Starting point is 00:50:26 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,
Starting point is 00:50:52 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.
Starting point is 00:51:06 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.
Starting point is 00:51:22 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.
Starting point is 00:51:39 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
Starting point is 00:52:15 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...
Starting point is 00:52:44 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,
Starting point is 00:53:03 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.
Starting point is 00:53:18 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
Starting point is 00:53:34 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%
Starting point is 00:53:51 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
Starting point is 00:54:05 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
Starting point is 00:54:18 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
Starting point is 00:54:37 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.
Starting point is 00:55:07 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.

Starting point is 00:55:36 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
Starting point is 00:55:57 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.
Starting point is 00:56:12 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.
