Happy Friday Freaky Friday We're now in November How many days till Christmas Ooh, what were that both Do you want to make sense a Christmas song? Yeah, go Maybe a bit too soon

Snow is falling All around me Children playing you Having fun 714, 21 It's the season 21 21 20

So while she's singing I'm working at how many days it is until Christmas 7 14 20 So I can't count Can you just Google it? No 7 14 21 It's 28 days today

From up to our live show So exactly 4 weeks today and then whatever that is from Christmas because everything else is relevant so oh plus 20 days so 48 days still Christmas from today wow I cannot wait yeah I love Christmas so much I don't really I think it's the most boring day of the year a genuinely think Christmas day is the most boring day of the year as an adult with no children I mean I get where you're coming from I think you get to a certain time the day and you're like right is that yeah and also remember i don't see my family either so that's probably why

this bonus episode we're going to talk a little bit about what's been a lot on your plate and some follow-ups of some other feedback from things we've discussed previously that we'd like to update you on because we said that last time didn't we we love it when you guys send us follow-ups from things we've discussed and we can keep all the pub piggys updated yeah so shall we read out the one from that work dilemma that was a good one yes so i don't know if if everyone remembers that there was the girl who was loving our work couldn't have loved it anymore, blah, blah, blah. And then there was this girl that was

joining her work who she had a pass with. Yeah. And they didn't get on anymore. Yeah. Anyway, we were giving her some advice. We've had to follow up from her, just saying. Just want to say thanks for advice in the pod. It really helped. Also wanted to give you an update. A few days after a message, an internal vacancy

came up within the company at another site. Better job and better working hours. So I went for it, got an interview and found out yesterday that I got the job. This might sound cheesy, but I strongly believe things happen for a reason, and this was meant to work in my favour. Gorgeous. She also said, to give you a bit of context on the situation,

as I know it sounds extreme, I'm 34, this person I knew from primary school, so most of my life, we used to be inseparable as kids. We went to high school, we were a bigger group of friends, and that's when things started to change. I was basically bullied by her and this group of girls for a long time and only managed to break away from it when I was in my mid-20s. I was very quiet and had low self-confidence anyway. got therapy and now a completely different version of myself.

Love that for you. Love that for you. And I don't think it's cheesy at all. I genuinely do think everything happens for a reason. It's got to. Absolutely. So yeah, we're happy for you. That's amazing.

Better money, better hours, better... What else was it? Better position. Just happiness, Jess, better happiness. Gorgeous. Do you want to mean? Mm-hmm. We also do have...

Right, we've spoken about Jesse's... issue with pricking her finger That's coming up by the way I can feel my babies are getting a little bit hard I think I'm going to come on my period anytime soon But you'll need to get this place a phone Get them out

I know They three I need it Your blood taking God's sake So anyway a lovely listener who has actually managed To be an adult And prick their finger Has Dave given us a follow up

On what actually happens in this process It's called Hurtility by the way If you've missed it, it's a hertility It's an at-home fertility testing kit. I think it's maybe not a fertility testing, but it checks all sorts of like hormone imbalances. I think it can give you an idea of ovulation and things like that. So anyway, I'm not an expert on it because I've not had my results,

so I don't know, but this lovely lady has sent us one. So what actually happens is you get a kind of like, you've got your own wee system in it. Right. And it says that... Is this her results then? She sent it in? No, it's like what you can see.

Okay. So you've got stage one, which is a note from your doctor, and that is who has reviewed your results and will confirm any previous diagnosis and flag any potential new ones. Then you've got your hormone levels, which is when they obviously test your hormone levels, give you the results, pinpointing any causes for,

and balances based on the next research. Then you've got stage three. which is your hormones explained, and that's where it explains the impact of your hormone levels and what could be potentially causing any imbalances. Right. Very detailed. Then you've got stage four, which is their expert analysis.

They'll outline any conditions your results are indicating and any action is required. Step five is understand what you need to do next. And then step six is your personalised. insights. Right, okay. So that's like any nutrition and lifestyle changes that could help get your hormones all balanced again? Yep. Right.

So that's actually very... Interesting. Insightful, I would say. Because even if... Like, it's not really something I think about, right? But at the same time, I have absolutely no idea if my hormones are even imbalanced or not. And also, people would be doing this just for children.

It could be like skin problems. or it could be mood swings, really bad, like PMS symptoms. Yeah. So I think it's for a few things that. But also we also got a question from a recent pod that we did when we spoke about that real tonic, clean greens. And we said that some people in our office took the balanced tonic. People wanted to know what it was.

It's the real R-H-E-A-L balanced tonic powder. And it's like a pink one. I've not tried it and I don't think Zoe has either, but we have had good things. Yeah. I've heard it does really help with it. Like, you don't even feel that you're on your period, whereas they really suffered from it before.

Interesting. This girl's also sent a screenshot, so it actually does show your ability to conceive based on your number of eggs, and it's like a little chart, and it's white's low. Let's see. Bages in range, and red's high, and it gives you a little, like...

What's she then? In range. Oh, brilliant. I wonder how old she is. So it gives you a little, like, what would you call that? It's like a graph where it's. from white to red, if that makes sense, yeah. And then there's like a little arrow pointing on where you are on the scale. What's she high there? What's that?

Then it also shows you the hormones involved in regulating your menstrual cycle, and that gives you a low to high as well. So that's quite good to know. And then it also gives you thyroid. I've had my thyroid checked a few times before. Why can't I say words anymore? Thyroid. I need, I've told you this before.

Thyroid health. again low to high. thyroid health is really important for people that may be gaining a lot of weight because that can be a factor in that can't it? But that's actually really insightful like it's very detailed that's brilliant. She's also said

you can book to get an appointment with one of the doctors to go through the results which is probably more helpful as reading it's a bit kind of like a bit of a mind fuck so that's actually helpful as well you can speak to someone and they can explain it a bit better And I'm pretty certain that the heterility test was, I remember researching into it,

but it was one that was approved by, was it even Bupa or it might have been NHS, but it was one that they actually do use. Yeah. Things like that. So it is legit. Love that. Yeah.

Well, if anyone was thinking about it, then I feel like that's a good... Yeah. It seems good. Mm, definitely. I need to do it. I need to do it. I mean, I paid for it,

so I'm not going to waste that money. Do you know what I mean? And I also want to do it, so... Yeah. We also really need to tell a lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely story. Oh, we do. Which is just, I just can't go over it. I think about it often since last week.

And obviously, we launched our live. Sold the first night and then we put the second night live, which... And that's all quicker. That's sold even quicker. So if you got a ticket, we can't wait to see you. I know there's people that want to swap round day, so maybe there's people out there that might want a swappy swap. Yeah, maybe if you do and you want to...

The only way that's going to work is if you message us and you kind of like... You'd probably do that nearest the time. I'd line that but see if it's just for preference going to know because that'll be quite a lot of logistics for us. Yeah. Anyway, we had shared on our story

a girl who had shared that she didn't manage to get tickets and she was disappointed. We had shared that saying like we sold out so quickly again thank you all blah blah blah. Then another pod pink replied to our share of this

woman is everyone with us right she replied saying I know who this is she delivered my baby she's a midwife yeah years back as well I think it was I think it was in 2019 we love that so it was at least three years ago I've got a spare ticket yeah because she managed to get two but got no one to go with her and the other girl didn't get one at all yeah so then we were like she was like I should say to her we were like oh my god this is so nice please do that all happened and now they're coming together and the messages they shared the messages between them each other and they're like so buzzing and i just think like they don't yeah they've met because obviously one sealed it pulled a baby out vagina but they're not they're close they're close in some ways

but so not in another do you what i mean they're not like close friends then and i just thought the podpigs are coming together yeah and like we said before we're going to make sure that any single ticket holders if there is any because we don't know there's many to be fair but there's a couple message saying they could only get one so they're going on their own or maybe there's people that haven't told us yet

to be fair but if you have come on your own don't stress we've got you sorted well we're there anyway were you mate so sound come with us

I know exactly so I've got a couple little updates of some little products see before you did that can I ask you a really really important question I thought the thing you were going to ask me was the fact that you just

fucking shut me up with a fake spider behind me and she's been trying to plant it here the whole time so we can catch it on camera and be shitting myself myself with a little plastic spider. But it happened before we were recording, so I can only apologise and he didn't get to enjoy Jesse's scare.

And I can confirm that I did shit myself. Yeah, I should. This is a really important question, so you need to think about it deeply. Have you ever managed to leave a McDonald's drive-thru without taking a chip out of the bag? Never. Neither of that.

Never? And you know people are like, oh, we'll eat it at home. Widow? No, but even nibbling at the chips on the way home, like, is anyone able to not do that? I was also like that with a Chinese takeaway as well. I'd always get in that white paper bag. No, a Chinese or anything's always tied.

I would never open that. I would rip it? No, never. At McDonald's, I was thinking about the other day when I was there. Matt, I have no control over my arm. I lose the ability to control that arm. And as much as my head, I'm saying, don't open the bag, it will let the heat out,

just wait to your home, you'll actually live around the fucking corner. It's in there getting a chip. Surprise there's no more accidents coming out of the drive-through. Yeah. No, I'll actually. and then I'm like, oh, like, because fucking steering meals are they over there? It's because they're nice and boiling hot

and there's nothing better than a McDonald's roasting hot chip or nugget. Nothing, and I just was really thinking, I wondered if anyone has the ability to do that. Because see if you do, you deserve to be called a sir. I love McDonald's. And you know what's annoying?

I never used to like it that much and I really like it now. I've always liked McDonald's. I just think you can't beat it. I used to think it tastes like shit, but I do think they're really up there game. Oh no, I never used to think it tastes like shit, that's wrong. I just think if you get a really hot, crispy one, there's nothing better. I think the problem is you're right. You can

get bad ones. Yeah. You can get like the chips that a bit cold, especially if you ever get a delivery whatever, which I do try avoid, but sometimes there's just no other option. If I'm in my bed and I've got my jammies on, it's getting delivered. So you actually live 100 yards from McDonald's. If I'm in my pajamas, I'm not going out to my car. Cozy's always an She's in the house. This is my new name for Zoe, by the way, cozy Zowie. Everything she does is cozy.

I went into a flat earlier and it's just cozy. It smells of washing. It's boiling hot. She wants to make scones. She's got all of pumpkins out. I was Patsy Zoh at the weekend. Patty Zohy is back in the closet. No, she's not.

Party Zohy isn't coming out until 2024. But Jason and Zoe are cozy couple. We are cozy. Cozy is our thing. like sitting down at night a cup of tea a wee plate of biscuits and we like sit them out

like we actually lay them out on like a wee I've got a pumpkin bowl right now so like maybe I'll maybe I'll do sit on that actually and then we bring like the covers in sometimes and the candles on and all that

like that's just a thing for us I think that's very important I walked in there earlier and Jason just creep around the corner he just popped his little leg out of the door and he had his new fluffy socks on he was so brilliant he bought in Amsterdam by the way

I don't think we mentioned that He has absolutely no shame We walked around to Amsterdam with a paper bag That has cozy socks on It's the Amsterdam on them And they've got pom-poms hanging from them He loves it Anyway sorry

Tell us about your beauty bits I just attach to that very important question That was an important question Now I want to know what's So my birthday, Prezzi Final one, fuck me The girl's got me Some of my favourite wine glasses

Riedel wine glasses I think they're actually German You know I'm going to check that for you But you know how I'm all big on thin rim, thin stem. And they are exactly that. I don't even know how you managed to get them, to be honest with you.

Because I'm magic. I've got the magic touch. I get the minus touch. Yeah, sorry. Sorry for that. So yeah, a message Zoe and the girl saying that I really love Redoubt, reedal, wine glasses or Zalto. I think anyone listens to this podcast.

That's probably worked in like, I don't know, food and beverage or you've been like waitresses and a fine dining restaurant or a Michelin restaurant you'll probably know be aware of these but they're so so good I also had one when I was in Lisbon with Richard at a restaurant that was so fine like hand-blown glass and the markings on the base of that said G-L-A-S and it was like a Californian one and I love that

I've never seen that since but read Redau was the one that we spoke about when we went to Casamaca and so he put a picture on the story the other day of that glass wineglass against my head. You've probably seen it and it was the size of my head. Well, it's them. She's got me four of them. Also, by the way,

can I just say thank you so much for everyone all those lovely messages you were about my birthday? I was nearly roaring in Amsterdam, wasn't I? Well, I put whilst we were out party and I thought, fucking hell, I've not posted on the pod page about Jess's birthday.

Because I was so up to hide over the surprise situation, I was trying to raise you from my memory for about six months. And I posted and I thought, I'm going to ask what people like about Jess and, well, they were touching. Tell you that. It was fucking hundreds.

Your eyes were actually watering when you're reading them. That was well nice. Love that for me. It was, I was going to say it was a Friday night, so maybe people were drunk, but it was actually a Thursday, so... Wow. People actually do love you. I know.

Well, I love you too. And they love you too, Zos. So the products that I got that she also bought me, one of the girls, was two new VIV products. And wow, can I just say the Nova Glow Liquid Light. I hadn't actually heard of this, but Zoe... I can't believe. you hadn't heard of that it's everywhere just now it's new sorry i hadn't i'm a bit out

and it's right up your street in terms of beauty product and i used it today for the podcast and i you normally use iconic you know i'm an iconic liquid lover and this is called holy chic and the colour was great it's great actually yeah actually does look really golly thank you stunning and it's like i say iconic is more whitey shimmery but this was more golden and blended beautifully party season and all that and then she got me a lip dew glossy lip oil in pest Pesca is my favourite blush colour from Veeve but she got with the lip dew I didn't even know they did that in an oil

I thought they only did that one colour Oh No there's not There's a goldy one that I've got before Yeah that's what I thought that was the only one we did do Oh no there's a this is Pesca That's like quite peachy It was actually really lovely when you put it on

I love that And then the last final thing for me actually Is update on a Phil Mitchell's I've got my natural biab on And I'm growing them from the scratch they look pretty good don't they they're getting there I can be a wee French

yeah so I will show you a picture when I get them done again because they're a few days old now but when I get them redone I'll share it on the page because I might be confident enough to do that and let the films out in full force you might be like an ill-pack gowner nah my thumbs are just not it they're too fat my hands are just not it

what I've not good hands and my last recommendation and this is all you're getting from me and I posted this on my close friends yesterday but and I was because I was going to gatekeep it to be fair but I'm not going to gatekeep from the pub pigs is you need to buy

Lenore Outdorable Fabric softener in Northern Solis Saltis Northern Solis is that how you'd say that Saltase Salstase let's just say it's solace I don't know how to

Solstice. Solstice what does that mean like icy No it's like the summer solstice or the winter solstice that's been halfway point of the year. Oh wow. That's exactly what it smells like? The northern solstice. La Nore Outdorable

Northern Solstice. Can I just say? You've just said that birthday. You didn't age 15 years that we're recommending fabric softener. I know, I can't believe you've got to this point, honestly. No, but gee, I'm really big into my fragrances, okay? And this, there's nothing better than smelling nice washing when you put it on your body and it's like, oh.

Are you a spring awakening? Spring Awakening is beautiful and that is also a fan favourite of mine And I do like the other one you posted The Lenore Fresh Bowls Yeah but what do you call Unstoppables

Unstopables That fragrance is really nice But It's 8 pound of fucking jar No I know and also It is quite strong And I want you to smell my perfume Not my washing

I'm quite strong about that But what I said in my story was A cap of Lenoir Outdorable With a wee bit of the balls of the unstoppable and it smells outrageous honestly I can't stop

I can't stop smelling my towels honestly I just love it when you get something that's really good and also everyone was bang on about that fabric software for Marks and Spencers

and it smelled like La Labo does it bollocks don't get sucked into buying that fabric software from M&S it's actually shit I just wouldn't buy that it's so weak I like in fact

Jason I actually told Jess earlier what we're doing tonight and this is our this is her actual, like, a written down plan for her Tuesday night is walking around to B&M and getting her worst. And I sent, I sent Jason a screenshot of like, you need to buy this if you can find it in B&M, and he's like, oh yeah, we'll do it, actually.

I've just got one last thing to say. Fuck what? I need to know if anyone else watched that Mamma Mia thing. What a mammaier thing? The talent show. What's that? There's a talent show on ITV. And it's seven girls and seven guys

are a way out to Greece and they're competing to be the next Sophie and Sky Sophie and Sky from Mamma Mia in the West End musical right? Oh! So they're competing to become... Did you ever watch that show and it was to get the Joseph

for Joseph in the colour dream quote and it was like years ago and it was Andrew Lloyd Weber you know who that is? Of course I do. Fuck me, sorry. But it was his show and they all like addition to be

like Joseph and they also did a woman one I can't mind to what that character was for in a music anyway, I watched that and my mum and I enjoyed it right anyway so this was coming on and I was like and he watched that anyway it was on Sunday at 6pm and I watched it

was great was it it like each week they be like X factor yeah each week like a guy and a girl will get put out and it's it about what chemistry they've got together as well then couples or do they rotate Well, I think it's they rotate But it's a bit of everything

It's like they need to obviously have the voice They need to be able to dance a bit And need to be able to act But they do kind of judge How they obviously look at each other And like if you can see chemistry there But the judges are actually quite good people So it's someone, I can't even remember her name actually

But she was on the Andrew Lloyd Weber one Right So she's went through this whole process basically And it is in the West End now It's what's her face from Glee You know the really good singer and then she was in Dreamgirls. Amber Riley.

Yeah, that's her name. And then Alan Carr. And then I don't know who the other lassie is. Alan Carr, I love him. I know, and then she's some pop singer or something this other girl. And then the host is Zoe Ball. Oh, yeah, I like her as well. So it's actually...

That's actually quite good then. Yeah, I thought it was going to be a wee, like, shite thing that no one really watched, but it was actually like close to X Factor level and I think everyone should watch. Is it on our TV? I TV on a Sunday at 6pm I'll catch up with that then

So I'd like to know if anyone watched it and if anyone did do they think I'd be a good Sophie because I do I think you'd be out on round one I wouldn't have got to the last seven Go on Zoe, give us nothing They'd be like

Sorry are you speaking because we can't hear you Hello is anybody there We always say in our group chat That Zoe's like the girl from pitch bear But you know the one that goes Suboo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo- And you actually couldn't be more wrong I'm the life and soul

this group sometimes You are darling Did you still watch Big Brother? No, I fell away from that as well So we're not going to be speaking about that anymore I can commit to things that are on every single night Like see if you can sit down at 9pm and watch stuff every night

You need a life, I'm sorry Sorry you watch Love Island you don't know Not every night Yeah she fucking did She's chatting shit So yeah We fell off Big Brother But I've heard it's good now

So we probably should have I can't be asked to catch upon it now Can't be I should miss too much No And you watch the Becker documentary, you loved that. Well, good, and we watched the... Colleen Rooney!

Clean one. That was brilliant. Wagatha Christie. Yeah. Wag was. Wag was. That was brilliant. Brilliant, but see when you think about it.

How fucking pathetic, honestly. How could you be asked? It went too far, didn't it? So she had to go through it. We're going to court on someone's paying, like, someone had to pay another one millions and millions of pounds, like for a wee Instagram, like, mess up. Oh, stupid.

Anyway, let's go. Right, we'll have a lot. and we'll see you on Tuesday. See you on Tuesday. Bye.
