Starting point is 00:00:00 🎵 my mic's ready oh my god bikes, buddy. I want a little world. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. The words. Oh, my God. Popular. You're gonna be popular. I am not singing that song. I've heard way too much Wicked lately
Starting point is 00:00:52 and it's pissing me off. Have you seen the film, though? The trailer to Wicked looks sick. Yeah, it looks great. Yeah, yeah, it looks great. Well, the trailer, I put it on on the internet even though I'm supposed to be going to cinema.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Oh, illegal movie downloads. I'm supposed to be going to cinema. I didn't watch it. I didn't watch it. I didn't watch it, police. I didn't. I didn't want to ruin it with a shitty HD, non-HD, so I just wanted to just have a quick gander
Starting point is 00:01:15 and there's a bit where they're doing, oh, what is it? That one. Loathing. You know when everyone jumps on a bandwagon, I instantly get off. I saw Wicked years ago. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:01:31 And I liked it. And now, I'm like, it's just annoying me. I don't know what it is. Because as soon as everyone's like, oh, it's on, it's on, it's on, and everyone jumps on it, and then you're like, I'm bored. Bored of it.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Done. Ariana Grande is starting to annoy me. Just generally genuinely bless her no no no honestly Ariana I actually think you're a lovely person but genuinely
Starting point is 00:01:51 you're the light of my life you're the light of my life like it's the way she does things and I'm like you know like if she was on Armour Celebrity
Starting point is 00:01:58 get her out of here she'd be the person everyone picked on to do to do no she would not because she'd be scared I don't know
Starting point is 00:02:04 who would be allowed to talk about celebrities like this on a podcast I don't know because I don't on to do this. No, she would not. She would because she'd be scared. I don't know. Who would be allowed to talk about celebrities like this on a podcast? I don't know because I don't want to, I will say this, I don't want to slate people. I'm not a slater. I'm not a hater.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Like, Ariana Grande, you are absolutely beautiful. You are very nice as a person. But I just, like the more that I've kind of, the more that I watch people or see things, it just starts to grate on me. I'm done with that now.
Starting point is 00:02:24 I'm really excited to watch it. I'll still watch it. And I know all of the songs. But the other day I saw somebody on Instagram and they'd done, and it was a funny reel, but I felt like she was really committed. Now her and her partner must be Instagram, you know, influencers because they have loads of views and her partner's obviously helping her do this. And she was in her garage outside and the garage door was up
Starting point is 00:02:44 and she's like, me since watching Wicked. Her partner's obviously helping her do this. And she was in her garage outside. And the garage door was up. And she's like, me since watching Wicked. And she's like in the garage dressed as the Green Witch or something. Alphaba. And her boyfriend's there like blowing leaves at her. She's singing. No, leaf blower at her. So her hair's moving in the wind. And then she stands inside like a trolley.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Gets on a broom and he pulls it along. Now, to make it funny, they've videoed the whole thing but if they wanted to they could green screen it and zoom in and they would look like she's flying it's very very creative do you have a job that's it that's my good job i suppose yeah right anyway let's begin. So, Ains. Saeed. Episode 3. Charles. And today we are going to be talking all about New Year's resolutions. We'll also do a little bit of Christmasy bits in there as well. Obviously we've got a few more episodes before Christmas, but we just thought this would be a good topic. Yep. First of all though, let's start with the wine and the wine. The wine and the wine! Go on, Zaid. What wine have we got this week?
Starting point is 00:03:51 And what? Okay, well, we actually sent our 18-year-old niece to the shop to get the wine and we just told her to buy not too expensive but not too cheap. Well, we just said, grab a cheap bottle of wine from the shop. Yeah. And it doesn't matter what price your wine is it can be three pound it can be 20 pounds whatever you want but we did say get a pinot and and in all fairness she got a pinot she got a cheap pinot and i think it's she understood pinot grigio yeah but we'll be very clear that unfortunately this week we won't be sharing the wine from a perspective of oh why
Starting point is 00:04:22 don't you try this wine? Yeah, because... Show them the wine. I mean, it will go with what we're eating. A nice crisp pinot would go lovely with what we're eating. It's fair trade white wine. It's fair trade, though. It's not even pinot, actually. Just white wine.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Oh, God, that's just white wine. Just white wine. I'm sure it's wine. It just says white wine. Well, it's not a Sauvignon. It's not a pinot. It's not a Chardonnay. But, you know, it's not a sauvignon. It's not a pinot. It's not a bichardonnay. But you know, it will still go with our chosen...
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's solid white. Make sure you keep your mouth near your mouth. ...meal. Sorry. It will still go with our chosen meal of a beetroot, pecan and goat's cheese salad with a balsamic glaze. Which, by the way, I'm a big fan of salads and I'm not a sweet and savoury combo person but I love this salad
Starting point is 00:05:09 and it goes so well with a nice crisp white wine. Probably of any kind. So yes, I'm going to try a little bit. Thank you. Bang it. Nice.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I'm going to try a bit too. Reminds me of Bristol. I'm not sure how it should have tasted. Well, no. Bristol did. I tasted it in Bristol but I had it somewhere else and it was nice. Very yummy. So guys, if you want an easy thing to eat for dinner, you can't be bothered to cook
Starting point is 00:05:42 and you want a glass of wine, Nick took Co-op, cheese two pound rocket 120 beetroot two pound or something like that i was trying to get the glaze whatever that was but it literally took me two minutes because i just put the goat's cheese in the air fryer for a couple of minutes to heat up popped it on top of all the salad choices and topped it with the glaze and obviously sadie's the chef of the family so i just yeah today i just turned up i was like here make it here's the food and then obviously our niece came back with the wine so like i say mix it with a lovely little combo for a nice chilled evening or like a weekend thing where you just want to chill and sit home maybe you've already done the dinner for the kids and everything and you didn't know what you fancied just get yourself a nice little goat's cheese
Starting point is 00:06:26 and beetroot pecan rocket salad thing with a band of balsamic glaze. We'll put it all on Instagram for you. And obviously next week, we will have a much better wine in the Y. We do have a much better wine in the Y. And please stay tuned, because next week we're doing an episode on...
Starting point is 00:06:43 Fears. Oh yeah, fears. Fears. R fears rational rational fears things people are scared of yeah so don't miss it I love talking about irrational fears
Starting point is 00:06:51 like people who are scared of cotton wool or buttons buttons yeah anyway we should take a piss yeah not being mean I mean alright
Starting point is 00:07:00 you can't laugh at some things like what is life exactly right so this week we're talking about New Year's resolutions. Okay, let's go for it. Okay, guys, so, yes, this week we are all about New Year's resolutions. All week I've been trying to find people's, you know, find out or ask people what their New Year's resolutions are
Starting point is 00:07:21 and what they hope to achieve next year, but also what their epic fails have been in the past and if they've got any that were funny and ones that maybe they thought oh i really thought i'd achieve that and then epically failed within a week and now i know most of people yeah yeah i know loads of people will include like the gym and things like that but um i've got a few funny stories i've got things to share but let's go with one let's start with our own because i know i've got those epic fails that i've had in the past i'm like right new year's resolution i'm going to do this like probably since i was dead young okay um and one of them and it's not funny was to actually learn martial art
Starting point is 00:07:55 and i waited until i was 35 and decided to do that i mean you decided to do it before but obviously we just we haven't continued it yeah it. So I've done little bits in the past and stuff. And then, waiting until I was 35, I decided to, like, just, you know, do an MMA fight. Throw myself in it, deep end. And, um, let's just face, let's just be honest here. I know I'm on 35. Let's put it that way. I don't think I've ever had a backache.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I know I'm 35. I don't think I've ever had a backache like it. Can't move from one day to the next. My partner has to come upstairs and pull me out of bed, literally. Because I can't sit up've ever had a backache like it. Can't move from one day to the next. My partner has to come upstairs and pull me out of bed, literally. Because I can't sit up. Sometimes, yeah. Literally, I'm like, babe.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And Luke, he's on nights. So he's downstairs at 6am because he's coming in the house. I can hear him. And I've had to read him, like, he's got upstairs. Help me. Get me up. So that was all mine. But my epic fails of New Year's resolutions have always been the same.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Stop drinking. Make a podcast. About wine. So that's never going to happen. And to be fitter and healthier and drink more water. So on that. Drink more water. I'm rubbish at water. I'm always drinking water. I'm always cold when I'm sat down
Starting point is 00:08:59 working so I always have a hot drink. And then today I thought, and also my bladder is so weak. It's not an age thing. It's always been like like that if i drink too much water or too much coffee in the day i'll be going to the toilet all day so today i thought why wait till january yeah i thought that i went to work no time not that present went to work i thought right i'll have my coffee as normal but i'll take a jug of water to the desk of me and i'll you i'll drink this i had two glasses out of it the inside got stipped away when I left work today. Because one,
Starting point is 00:09:27 I think I overestimated the size of the jug that I picked up. You didn't. Two, I literally was on a call and within 10 minutes I was dying
Starting point is 00:09:36 to go to the toilet. I was like, I am going to wet myself. I literally, I was like. So I'd had like two coffees. Four glasses, three glasses of water
Starting point is 00:09:46 or whatever and then I have another coffee because I'm cold and it was cold in the office so I'm literally sat there about to wet myself so loads of fun so I'm drinking water
Starting point is 00:09:53 so then on the way home I was thinking right I need something that makes it easier to drink because I don't want to keep drinking out of a glass like I want do you know what I wish
Starting point is 00:10:00 they did a water drip so you could sit there stick it in your arm you get all the water you still have throughout the day but it goes in slowly and Do you know what I wish? They did a water drip. So you could sit there, stick it in your arm, you get all the water you used to have throughout the day, but it goes in slowly and... Just add a catheter. It's in. Just add a catheter.
Starting point is 00:10:12 It's in, right? Yeah, add a catheter. Even one of the lads at work, blokes at work, was like, we should even have a bidet on the, whatever it is, on your seat or whatever, I don't remember what it's called, what's it called under them portable toilets that you sit, what's it called? The bedpan thing.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Under your seat at work so you don't have to move water on a drip you can't go anywhere until your Apple watch tells you to stand up it's time to stand shut up Apple
Starting point is 00:10:36 who are you you don't know how it is to be healthy what do you know AI so yeah that was so my New Year's resolution sorry epic fails yes quitting drinking never gonna happen learn a martial art think I'm kind of halfway there now drink more water which I can do my bladder can't handle it so hopefully we'll get there and number four is to
Starting point is 00:10:58 be better with money oh yeah that's 100% so go on no no go on what are yours so my new year's resolution and I've actually started as well already because again like you said no time at the present and I feel like with being a mom and working so much
Starting point is 00:11:14 I feel bad then taking a couple of hours to go to the gym because by the time you've gone to the gym and had a fucking shower done all that shit it is two hours it is
Starting point is 00:11:23 and I ain't got time to do two hours a week three times two hours sorry three or four times a week i have not so anyway what i've been doing started today was um i've done 60 squats today 60 squats yeah tomorrow yeah i know 20 in the morning 20 a bit later and then another 20 i was trying to get to 100 so i don't know it wasn't that bad you know because i'm doing it in between work i'm not doing it all in one go because i've got time so i've made myself after each meeting i'm going to do 20 squats there you go guys way to make it so it's more like yeah achievable achievable smart goal yeah yeah then and you can take it take this great goal right then what i've done is every time i come downstairs because i work done is every time i come downstairs because
Starting point is 00:12:05 i work from home every time i come downstairs i leave my cups at the top of the stairs because i'm going to bring my cup down to make myself another coffee or what i have actually been drinking hence the more water and i don't want to be cold is honey and lemon and ginger with hot water because then i'm drinking something warm um but it's water yeah uh or like a herbal tea yeah I leave my cup at the top of the stairs I run down
Starting point is 00:12:30 I run up three times and then I get my cups and I come down and then Kaisel's making fun of me because he can hear me up and down the stairs
Starting point is 00:12:38 again only started today and I did that twice so I did six runs up and down the stairs I was going to do another one but again I ran out of time I had to rush to the chemist and all this so and then what I've told myself is
Starting point is 00:12:50 okay so if I fitted that in very easily 60 squats and a couple of runs up and down stairs okay dead easy to fit it in then I thought right well now I'm going to try and include 20 crunches yeah and then Aaron's got some weights in his cupboard so I could do deadlifts well yeah not even
Starting point is 00:13:06 deadlifts but like just with one weight or he's got two circular weights hasn't he so i could do those ones where you put your legs out and you're holding a weight or whatever how heavy are they um so i think they range from like 5 to 20 kilos oh right i was gonna say if you've got a couple of like light weights what's really good for you? Weight, weight. 5 kg ain't that bad. What weight? I think it's probably got 1.5s.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Maybe if you need a little bit heavier, like a 3 or a 2 would be good for you. Now, it is, it'll get your whole top half is punching, right? With the weight.
Starting point is 00:13:39 With the weight in your hand and then punch it up. Okay, might do on that one. Back, shoulders, biceps and get everything. Oh, and then go like this. Then you get your trousers on. And then because... Top to do it up. Okay, I might do it on that one. Back, shoulders, biceps, and get everything. Oh, and then go like this. Then you get your trousers on.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And then because... Top of your arm, sorry. Because obviously soon I'm going to be dead fit and look fucking amazing again. We'll check back in in a month, guys. We'll let you know how these goals are going. Yeah. Obviously, I've always really been into self-defense
Starting point is 00:14:00 and I feel like that's something that every girl should know. So I thought what I could also do is, you know when I've got a bit of a break learn a new self-defense move yeah i'll show you some practice it yeah practice it and then when emma gets back i've got there's some really good ones that you don't even think i know you know what you start learning because when i first started mma i thought what the fuck is this there's just men rolling around on the floor cuddling each other and you're like this is ridiculous like you do you do think that first and then once you because i've done like this in february when i started so i'd go with my boyfriend and his friends and i'd be like what are you doing like what is it
Starting point is 00:14:37 but then when you start learning the music they teach you everything properly you realize how they're getting out of things and really how you're moving someone else's body in a really weird and good way where you're not as strong as them and you can get out of certain situations. And for you, it'd be good to know things like if someone comes up behind you and grabs you, how to get out.
Starting point is 00:14:54 No, don't do the thing that your instant reaction is to do. Don't do that. Well, the other day, right, I came downstairs and everyone had nipped out and I'd got an array arm, holding an array arm while she's on me. I've got my dressing gown on so I always wrap around and then tie it so I'm doing stuff
Starting point is 00:15:10 and as I come down the stairs he's upstairs in bed it's a week and I think Aaron had just nipped to get food and I come down and there's this noise and I was like
Starting point is 00:15:18 I think I know what that is but then you know your mind's like what if someone actually broke in right now what would I do I've got two children the dog's dead and everyone's not here like my dog would kill from kill for her yeah she would have killed him whoever came in the house it wouldn't matter
Starting point is 00:15:35 i didn't care everyone spent a weekend away yeah and zara wasn't here was she i just had the baby zara gone i was shitting it. Because my dog weren't here for protection. Don't worry, I came with my MME moves. Now I've got a kitten. What's a kitten gonna do? Someone breaks in. Alert, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:52 See, he's asleep on my pillow half the time. He swims away when someone comes near the door. I need another day. That's a tell. Where am I? Anyway. No, she's still too young and puppy. I'm not going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. dog that's a tell where am I anyway no she's too still too young
Starting point is 00:16:09 and puppyish for me I needed an older dog like Zara was older anyway she was never really like that she's three now well I didn't think
Starting point is 00:16:16 about getting a new dog she'll have gone more down she's gone down already but now I've got kids I wouldn't get another rescue though because you don't know
Starting point is 00:16:22 do you like we spent Zara spent a year outside and that's what made her realise okay these are more important than me yeah yeah I can't I don't get another rescue though because you don't know do you like we spent Zara spent a year outside and that's what made her realise okay these are more important than me yeah yeah I can't
Starting point is 00:16:29 I don't think that she ever would have heard because she never was outside with the narrator and she was fine she was fine she was great oh no she wasn't because she was dead already
Starting point is 00:16:36 either way she's not a dog either way what your point was is she was a rescue she was a good dog, always protective of us and great with the kids. However, now you haven't got that protection,
Starting point is 00:16:50 I absolutely understand where you're coming from. So you need some self-defense to do this. Yes, it's goals, guys. More exercise, but trying to fit it into my day instead of going and doing a full gym workout, because who has got time for that? Drinking more water and just building my biz so right so here's where the saving money goal comes in so say i'm giving you a challenge
Starting point is 00:17:15 all right we're both gonna have this challenge and we'll keep you updated throughout the year on how this goes so every month every month the last episode of the month that we do we will check our scores on the doors. Now what I'm going to get Cyn to do is open a 212 trading account and she's going to open a,
Starting point is 00:17:30 like it's just a literally an invest account, right? So you've got an invest, you've got an ISR, you've got all things in there you can put money in, right? Just use your invest account, right?
Starting point is 00:17:37 And I've put a certain amount of money in there at the minute but I'm going to move it to my ISR one. So it'll be zero balance. You open one, we'll do it together. How much are we putting in on the 1st of Jan?
Starting point is 00:17:46 No, it's not about how much we put in. We're not going to tell each other what we're putting in. Yeah, but I'm going to start with an amount rather than a zero. A pound. What about 50 quid? Whatever. Whatever you want. You can put 50 quid in on the 1st of Jan. If you want to put 50 quid in on the 1st of Jan, that's fine. No, I don't. I'm going to Paris.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I want to spend it there. Do what you want, but she's going to lose. The challenge is, who can save the, right? Yeah, I'm doing this. The challenge is, if you can save the most money, now, it doesn't mean you need to put ÂŁ50 in, it doesn't mean you need to put any amount in. If you've got ÂŁ3 per change, put it in.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Okay. If you've got ÂŁ1 in your bank, put it in. If you've got, you know, you've got three accounts, one's your bills account, one's your savings account, one's your spending money account. Oh, you've got an extra five a spare.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Oh, you were going to buy a bottle of wine, but we're not drinking as much in Jan. We're not. We're only drinking when we do the episode and we only share one bottle so that's a glass and a half ish each maybe two if you need to do smallish one you know medium-sized glasses and that's it once a week yeah all right so we're reducing the amount we're spending on wine so for example if we thought oh today i'd buy a bottle of wine but i'm not buying it put the five of in or the tenner in or the 15 how much ever you were spending on the bottle of wine same for anything all right so it isn't about going right every month i'm gonna make sure i put 50 pounds in it's a challenge to see how much we can both think well i want to be up
Starting point is 00:18:56 and as well what i always find i'll remind you what i always find helps me is is a bit of competition because i'm always better at my job or anything else if I think I'm going to lose against someone else, right? So I push myself harder, I work more. And if I've got someone who's new in my team and they're better than me at my own job, oh, I think they're going to be better than me, it makes me ramp it up, right, in any way, right?
Starting point is 00:19:20 So, and I'm competitive. So I am going to want to win and beat Sadie. So our goal is to open this account and then every month we put whatever amount we can, sparing, right? You've got your own savings somewhere else. That's your savings. I've got savings somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:19:35 But that's with Chris and that's half. Yeah, I mean, I have to give mine to Aaron so I don't spend it. That's fine, but I'm not asking you to use that savings. What I'm asking you to do is spare change. It's like a prom account. Okay, well well I still might give put the two on two trade in a car on Aaron's phone so that I don't you can't take it out you can't take it out you can but I'm telling you it's not as easy and just don't do that the whole point of it is is you leave
Starting point is 00:19:57 it in there for five years because if you keep adding to that every but that's what I'm saying to you so I'll put on Aaron's phone because I know what I'm like okay oh I've got 100 pound in that case then if everyone has the app on'm saying to you, so I'll put it on Aaron's phone because I know what I'm like. Okay. Oh, I've got ÂŁ100, I'll take it out. In that case then, if Aaron has the app on his phone, but you have the ability to put money into it from your account,
Starting point is 00:20:11 and that's how he sets it off, don't take money out of it, you can put it in whenever you want, and I'm sure there is, you don't have to have a max amount, I'm sure there is,
Starting point is 00:20:19 you can just put pound in, right, I think, I'll double check it. Either way, a minimum amount, a minimum amount, yeah. Sorry. So, yeah, either way, that's what we're going to do.
Starting point is 00:20:29 So each week. And guys, join in if you want to. Send us in your savings, like what you saved on 212. Because I will say this. It's the S&P 500, by the way. That's what you're invested in. It's a stock. You're not going to lose any money necessarily.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Don't take my advice on that. I don't know anything about stocks and shares. Yeah, don't take her financial advice on that. However, my boyfriend is very good, and he's promised me that if I lose any money, he'll give it me back. So he's that confident with it. Also, he's got quite a lot in there,
Starting point is 00:20:54 and he's really good at stocks and shares. Cool. So all I'm saying to you is, the likelihood of you losing it is very low because it's the S&P 500, so the top 500 companies, and if you're not one of the top 500 companies, you get put out of place.
Starting point is 00:21:03 So you ain't, I think, I think, again, don't quote me. Also, we're not financial advisors, so we do not recommend you take our advice. Don't take our advice. Unless, if... Please take our advice at your own risk, is what we're doing. At your own risk, yeah. And I'm not, I wouldn't say it, like, obviously... Obviously don't put thousands in there.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You can just put ÂŁ3 in. Or just open a Monzo account, or if you've already got one, open a pot and put it in there. It doesn't matter about the... The only reason I'm doing it this way is because I put ÂŁ250 in there, I made ÂŁ30 on it. When did you put it in?. It doesn't matter about the... The only reason I'm doing it this way is because I put ÂŁ250 in there and made ÂŁ30 on it. When did you put it in? About a month ago.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Oh, that's good. So in a month, I made ÂŁ30 for doing nothing. So the more you put in, the more you'll get back. And like I've said, it's the top 500 companies that you're investing in.
Starting point is 00:21:35 It's very unlikely that they're all going to get embossed, isn't it? And that you're going to only save money. Either way, this is a challenge that we're doing personally.
Starting point is 00:21:41 If you would like to join us, please go ahead, but do not take our advice... Or on Monzo and just tell us how much you've saved that month. Yeah. It doesn't have to be how much like to join us, please go ahead, but do not take our advice. Or on Monzo, and just tell us how much you've saved that month. Yeah. It doesn't have to be
Starting point is 00:21:47 how much you've made on interest. No, it's just how much you managed to put away. Just be safe. Don't follow our advice. We're doing it this way
Starting point is 00:21:53 because that's how I want to do it, but use Monzo, whatever. But it'd be great to hear your feedback on what you guys think and if, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:00 if you've also kind of joined in our new year, 2025 goal and it'd be good to do like a little groupie thing yeah
Starting point is 00:22:08 cool and we can make a community outfit you know if it really grows sounds like a plan alright okay
Starting point is 00:22:14 so there are goals and I think what we wanted to kind of move on to a little bit now is like looking at other people's
Starting point is 00:22:22 new year's goals and maybe some epic things okay so let's do that now okie dokie to a little bit now is like looking at other people's New Year's goals and maybe some epic things okay so let's do that now okie dokie just a quick story then before we move on
Starting point is 00:22:32 to your whatever you're going to talk about yeah okay is because in my effort to not drink it's really hard for us everyone we know drinks
Starting point is 00:22:40 everyone loves a drink yeah everyone wants to go out on a party every social event you're coming out Tuesday Tuesday went and did
Starting point is 00:22:47 bring a board night shots she did shots okay they were only applesauce but still I was like I'm feeling a little bit
Starting point is 00:22:53 woozy so yeah I because on that bring a board she did that cloudy apple books fizz
Starting point is 00:23:03 and I thought well that tasted quite strong so I thought I'll get some of that cloudy apple books fizz, and I thought, well, that tasted quite strong, so I thought I'll get some of that, because it was only 4%. Mate, I had such bad stomach ache because of the gas from the books fizz. Oh, well, I can't do gas fizz. I was like, oh, I had two glasses. I was like, for sake. It makes me sick.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Fizzy drinks can be really bad, but I don't really drink any other than water, coffee and wine. And whiskey, actually. Brandy, yeah, I love the brandy. But, I mean, like I said, I could drink more water. But, no, even wine gives me heartburn. It's not as bad as certain foods. Like, what did we have the other day?
Starting point is 00:23:35 What did we have the other day? You said pickled beetroot. Yeah, pickled beetroot. Pickled onions. I can feel it giving me heartburn the minute I eat it. Mint sauce gave me heartburn the other day. And yesterday I had it on a carvery. The heartburn.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I mean, I did cover it, but it was worse. See, I don't get heartburn. The only time I've ever had heartburn is when I've been pregnant. Right? And when I was pregnant, I really wanted pickled onions because it stopped me from feeling sick. But then they'd give me really bad heartburn. Oh, it was worse.
Starting point is 00:24:01 You can't have it. Can you have rennies? Yeah, you can have rennies when you're pregnant. Yeah, I did have them when I was pregnant with Norea because, oh my God, I was the worst. You can't have it. Can you have Renny's? Yeah, you can have Renny's when you're pregnant. Yeah, I did have them when I was pregnant with Nerea because, oh my God, I was killing my tail off. I tried that.
Starting point is 00:24:08 What's that pink Pepto Bismol? Yeah, yeah. That is disgusting. I was poorly in America that year, me and mum, me and mum, and I was so ill.
Starting point is 00:24:18 I was like being sick and everything. And this American lady was like, why don't you just give her some Pepto Bismol? You know, it may work and may be really good for her. I was like, I'm going to get that pink shit. I was like, I do not you just give her some Pepto Bismol? You know, it may work and maybe really good for her.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I'm like, look at that pink shit. I was like, I do not want to ingest anything right now, let alone some pink liquid that looks like it's going to make me sick.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Yeah, it was nasty. I'm sure it's meant to bring wind up. It sounds like it's meant to bring wind up and that's just not what I needed right there.
Starting point is 00:24:39 But it's like a, it's quite a milky texture, isn't it? Because that's the point, isn't it? Now, I know you said this never worked,
Starting point is 00:24:45 but milk always worked for me. Yeah, it doesn't work for me. It's not enough. But I think my heartburn sometimes can be quite... Oh, boy. But I think sometimes... Just say it's never worked. It's never worked for me, but I think...
Starting point is 00:24:57 Not to say that yours wasn't bad at all, but I think yours is like a natural heartburn that you've got with pregnancy, and maybe that was a natural... Yeah, it wasn't for us. I've had a bit of a stomach thing, like a health thing, nothing too interesting,
Starting point is 00:25:07 but it just gives me, I have tablets for it, so we're quite strong tablets to prevent heartburn and as long as I'm taking those I do have to have the odd belly, but other than that, I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I don't feel any different before. Like milk, the problem is as well, I get heartburn because as well, I love to eat a bit too much. So sometimes I have overeaten. So putting milk in my body is just an extra thing that's just going to bring it up.
Starting point is 00:25:29 So it just doesn't make a difference. The milk's probably just stuck here. Can't do its job because whatever's causing the problem's down here. And it's like endless here. Well, they say when you're pregnant and you get heartburn, it's because they've got loads of hair. Yeah. And they both did come out with loads of hair.
Starting point is 00:25:42 But Kaizel got cradle cap really bad. And we had to try and pick it out. You put oil on it and then brush it and it brushes out. But all his hair fell out. Can you remember? Had like a little tuft. I've got a bad hair. Well, I've now noticed it on Rayan. And her hair's so long now.
Starting point is 00:25:58 She's only 12 weeks old. Kaizel was bald until he was like two months. He was so bald. With hair. He had a lot of hair and then he grew into it. Yeah half. He was so bald. With hair. He was here, then he grew into it. Yeah. Isn't he right, y'all?
Starting point is 00:26:07 Full hair. Okay, okay. This is Sadie's two children, by the way. Her son, which I'm sure you know by now, and then her newest addition to the family.
Starting point is 00:26:15 And her hair is so lovely and so long, I don't want to get the trailer clip out because it will all fall out. Yeah, but it'll go back. Well, I'm going to give it a go. She's like less than three months old.
Starting point is 00:26:24 She's literally three months old today. Oh, back on then. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Okay, but it'll go back. Well, I'm going to give it a go. She's like less than three months old. She's literally three months old today. I'll find them. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Okay, anyway, go on then, New Year's resolutions. Alright, so,
Starting point is 00:26:31 I have had some writings, although, I must admit guys, we'd love it if you could send us some more because they could be a little bit better. So, earlier I sent out a little post to my four wens
Starting point is 00:26:41 and followers and a few other people who I know from my certain social groups and I've got some new year's resolutions that have come back. So the first one was written in by Helen. Thank you, Helen. She said her 2024 resolution was, I'm going to make my own FM radio and this time it will work. I think she means like actually build one. Her 2025 resolution is, I'm going to make my own FM radio
Starting point is 00:27:08 and this time it will work. So obviously she's failed. So thank you, Helen, for writing in. Please let us know if you build your FM radio this year and let us know if it works. Yeah. We really want to know now. We're invested, Helen.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Also, also, also. Okay. Wondergirl has replied to Helen saying she has a friend who's a guitar player and over Labor Day weekend, oh, she's American, he and his friend, sorry, who is an amplifier tech,
Starting point is 00:27:42 built a guitar amp together and it works. He's very proud of himself now. Well, we just made Helen feel like shit. She couldn't build one for her. That's not true. Here, Jacob. Helen is replying. Wonder Girl, do you know if the amplifier is based on transistors or old-fashioned
Starting point is 00:27:57 electronic tubes? I know those guitar guys love those electron tube amplifiers because they are perceived as sounding so warm. Wonder Girl has helen s it was a tube amplifier it was a fender type amplifier kit response from helen s to wonder girl wow like a big wow okay move on that's great so yeah interesting what an odd new year's resolution which by the way to those nice different
Starting point is 00:28:26 okay we've got one quit smoking quit drinking exercise more go to the gym I mean gyms
Starting point is 00:28:33 must make a killing in January yeah a worse subscription one pound to join in Jan we'll charge you twice at the end
Starting point is 00:28:40 of Jan and then if you try and quit we'll charge you for that but it's only a pound to join in Jan or like it's a year's contract minimum and then if you try and quit, we'll charge you for that. But it's only a pound a job. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Or like it's a year's contract minimum, and then they waste a whole year's worth of money because they don't go. They don't go every, every. That's one reason I won't give up my gym membership, because even though I have like some months where I'm like, oh, I've only been a few times,
Starting point is 00:28:56 I do go all the time. And we take the kids swimming, so. Yeah, we take the kids swimming. And they're included in the thing. So Julian has sent us one, and Julian said that last year, he really wanted to get in better shape. He's never been very built but tall and skinny. So he signed up to the gym and after his first month managed to break his knee.
Starting point is 00:29:14 This year my resolution is trying to be a little smarter. Buy that one, Julian. Julian, I want to give you a shout out, but I have no handle, just your name. So thank you for that. And please, if you see us online and you hear that we should give you a shout out, please let us know. I have one more. This is why we want you guys to start joining in. Obviously, by the time you see this episode, we'll have been launched for three weeks. So at the moment, we've been trying to pull in things from everywhere and
Starting point is 00:29:43 from people we know. And we really want you guys to kind of join in and get involved because we need some greater, better, brilliant stories. Not that the ones we've had haven't been great. We have one more from Joe. Over 20 years ago, he made a decision, a resolution that he has kept ever since. And his resolution was that he would never make a resolution again. And I get that. And I don't think it should be. I think it's sad sad i think it's sad and also don't you have any goals like also i set my goals throughout the year don't get me wrong i always fail at them not all of them but
Starting point is 00:30:12 some of them and i always fail at some new year's resolutions but i think it's always good like say no time like the present if you wake up one morning and go right i'm gonna do this do it when you've got the motivation don't wait you'll lose it and something else will happen where you end up not doing it or you run out of time or whatever try and make the time like for me my exercising in between stuff is so much better for me
Starting point is 00:30:30 and I will stick to it whereas if I was Ted I've got to leave the house at 7 after I've put the kids to bed I ain't going to do it I'm not going to do it right and I said this didn't I
Starting point is 00:30:38 don't give yourself unachievable goals don't set yourself up to fail so my boyfriend has been saying right it works nice I'm going to get finished work at half 5 in the morning I'm going to go straight to the gym i'm then gonna come home
Starting point is 00:30:47 i'm then gonna go sleep and then i'm gonna get up and go gym again at half past two so i can do push in the morning pull in the evening that's right now as much as he's trying so hard and when he does stick to that routine he feels great and does well he then gets tired because he's working such long hours sometimes he doesn't want to go in the morning but when he doesn't go in the morning he comes home and he goes sleep straight away so they slept really well so then he wakes up at half one in the afternoon naturally because he's in six till one so he's had seven and a half hours sleep wakes up naturally feels good i said why don't you for the new year and we've talked about this today literally i said you're setting yourself up to fail and every time i've said that to him
Starting point is 00:31:18 he's like i'm not i'm not i do do it i'm not saying you're doing anything wrong you're not doing anything wrong by not doing those things or by failing it's because to be fair it's really hard to stick to it's like me I will never say that I'll go to the gym every day at 6am do you want to know why I won't go do you know I used to do that I used to before children I was single
Starting point is 00:31:37 I just liked my bed too much that time I was single and I was seeing some guy who was a knob you can't sleep though when you're going out I couldn't sleep I was as skinny as I've ever been and I tried to get you to go a knob. You can't sleep, though, when you're going out. I couldn't sleep. I was as skinny as I've ever been. I came home from America, and I tried to get you to come to the gym with me in the morning, though.
Starting point is 00:31:49 And you were like, oh, God. I'm like, please, God, I just need to go, because I just was... I came back from Mozart, and I thought I was in love. And I was like... It wasn't, obviously. And I... I haven't finished my story.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Years ago. I'm sorry, I'm just saying, is that I needed you to come with me tonight, because I was like, I can't sleep. I was like, I just need to go and do something. well i get it now but i didn't get it then sorry um but what i used to do as i was staying with my dad because we were going through selling the house and that um and my dad would get up at like five to walk the dogs so we'd get i'd get up go with dad walk the dogs eat a bowl of porridge go to the'll go to work go all day and then i'll probably come back
Starting point is 00:32:26 have a mini salad have dinner no i'd have a dinner that i've been interested in you have like a little salad oh yeah i had a salad at lunch yeah um come back debbie would always make a really good dinner which i barely ate any of us so that i can barely eat anything you you can't when you're in a situation like that you're anxious anxious. You're sick all the time. And then I'd probably go out and see Ben or something. I'd go out again. I'd go back to Colville. And this was in Barrow.
Starting point is 00:32:50 And see her friends and all that. I'd go out and see my friends. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ben's my friend. He wasn't. This wasn't.
Starting point is 00:32:55 They're not bad. Although. Sorry. Yeah. So I'd go out and see my friends. And I'd come back again. And then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Like. I was never at home. I was always out doing something like a reek and then broke it off with him and met Aaron and got fat
Starting point is 00:33:10 because she's happy it's not bad it's not pregnant no no no I put on weight I did get a bit chunky again and then I lost it all again
Starting point is 00:33:19 you remember skinny again I don't know why I think we were just busy working all we did was drink coffee work all day didn didn't we? And then drink wine all night.
Starting point is 00:33:27 And then drink wine. It's lockdown. No, it wasn't. You were skinnier in lockdown. Yeah, I was, but I got skinnier before because I remember I was working at a school. Yeah, yeah. I was working at a school. So I would literally get up, go to work, just drink coffee all day, all day, all day.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke. I was even saying to my boss she was like, have you always faked or did you smoke? I said yeah, I used to smoke, I used to smoke loads Dawn, I said I was skinny as I was so thin, she went yeah, it does help with that, and I was like yes! People say it doesn't help, yes it does
Starting point is 00:33:58 Do you smoke and lose weight? In the new year, I'm thinking That's a never ending battle in itself Because we're over 30 in our 30s like mid 30s nearly 36 yeah uh heading towards 40 you start to think shit i really need to look after myself now whereas before when you were younger you were like i need to stay skinny we'll just drink and smoke yeah like kate moss and like shit god stop doing that it's getting me wrinkles yeah i can feel myself not being as healthy like so yeah that is that is something
Starting point is 00:34:25 so follow the story guys don't drink and smoke exercise drink water go gym so what resolution
Starting point is 00:34:36 so these are people's fails sorry by the way resolution fails um resolution I'm quitting smoking slash drinking this year this is it
Starting point is 00:34:43 I'm done the fail I've said that about oh sorry this is from somebody called Chloe by the way not our friend Chloe Resolution. I'm quitting smoking slash drinking this year. This is it. I'm done. The fail. I've said that about 10 times. Oh, sorry. This is from somebody called Chloe, by the way. Not our friend Chloe. Just writing. Fail.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Oh, boy. I lasted exactly three days before a friend offered me a drink, and suddenly it's like I've been recruited back into the bad habit club. I'd like to say I'm not weak, but turns out peer pressure is stronger than my New Year's resolution. I think my resolution needs a rebranding. Moderation is key.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yes, yes, yes. And it is. Moderation is key. Our mum has done amazing. She's completely quit drinking. And we said, because she loves to drink, loves to drink.
Starting point is 00:35:18 She's done really, really well. And this is where we get it from, obviously. But obviously, to the extent that she's quit, she's done fantastic. But I did say to her, she'd quit for quite a long time
Starting point is 00:35:28 and then she's going out tonight with her work friends for Christmas do. Of course. And she says she's going to have a few glasses of wine. I said, Mum, you've done amazing. Treat yourself. Well done. Really, really proud of her.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Especially... If she gets in the habit of only having a drink when she's out, it's very different to them having a drink at home. Or, you know, or just a bit at the weekend if you want to. Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes you know we try and cut it out in the week thursdays are an exception uh because that's when we record um so no she's done absolutely fantastic so moderation is key don't have a boring life i mean where's the fun in that what's the point in living of course um god made potatoes and we managed to make alcohol alcohol out of it and grapes so you know he didn't intend for us
Starting point is 00:36:05 to have a boring life and apples yeah and apples okay this one resonates with me because actually same because I actually
Starting point is 00:36:13 the other one of my goals is to learn Spanish and I have a girl at work who's Colombian and she's promised me that in the new year we'll do like once a week we'll do a little 15 minutes
Starting point is 00:36:19 where we have a little chat together and I need to really be on it because I've been trying to learn Spanish since 2013 can I just quickly say these language apps to really be on it because I've been trying to learn Spanish since 2013. Can I just quickly say these language apps will all be obsolete soon because have you seen that AI thing
Starting point is 00:36:30 where you can learn Spanish? Yeah, I know. No, I'm waiting for the Matrix ship where they can plug you in to learn to drive a helicopter. Plug me in to do a language, mate. Even when we're in Spain, like Chris said, just use Spanish. Try it with the waitress.
Starting point is 00:36:43 She'll appreciate it. They do. She did. She came up with a little bit of a sound of faith because you know we're British in annoying yes you think that we over the place and speaking English and you should have to speak English and I don't believe at all and as soon as I spoke in Spanish to order our food and what we wanted she was well I haven't signed a unit jade wow she literally just started smiling and went I've got you whatever you wanted and she did
Starting point is 00:37:06 because when I first got that I was like she seems a bit stirred and I was like I'm just gonna get you for it
Starting point is 00:37:11 did it and literally the way she changed was impressive and it just to me if someone I just think
Starting point is 00:37:19 just because we're English and we think that we own the world or whatever like you know not that we do but I think like in the past that's kind of been the way and the same or whatever, like, you know, not that we do, but I think, like, in the past,
Starting point is 00:37:25 that's kind of been the way. And the same with, like, Americans. Like, they think everyone should be able to speak their language. Yeah, Americans are hard work. And really,
Starting point is 00:37:31 I think that's unfair. You're going to their country. I want to be in the culture. I don't want to be there sitting around, like, because when I, I've stayed, our friends and some of our family
Starting point is 00:37:40 used to live in Spain and I went over for about three months. I didn't learn any Spanish when I was there because I was around English people all the time because the bar that I actually worked in while I was there was actually a retirement area for English people so everybody was English
Starting point is 00:37:53 the people who owned the bar were English or Irish I felt like I learnt quite a bit and I was only there but then I only went to the Spanish shop and I taught at the Spanish bags and changed bag machines and I taught at the Spanish school. I taught English didn't I? Oh did you? I shouldn't have done that, it's in a bar work actually. Anyway, the reason we went on that tangent. I better go on, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Writing was, the New Year's resolution was, I'm learning French. This time next year, I'll be fluent. Bonjour, Paris. The fail. Okay. I made it through the first two weeks of Duolingo when I was practically dreaming in French. But then life happened.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And by life, I mean the overwhelming realisation that I still have no idea how to say anything beyond bonjour, merci, and where is the bathroom. Guess who won't be chatting with the Parisians any time soon. Okay, so, bouncing off that one, do you know what I've downloaded? Lingo Pie.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I had downloaded it before. Now, I've paid for about three months of it and I've not really used it, but... New Year's resolution goals. Yeah. All these apps are going to get in everyone. And I'm going to Paris in January. Right, now, I could do well... 15 minutes a day. Do you know what? Sorry, go on. yeah all these apps are gonna get in everyone and i'm going to paris in january right now i could i
Starting point is 00:39:05 can do i could do well 15 minutes do you know what sorry go on i can do okay all right i can do all right i can i can i can say quite i don't know i have to think about it now but like i will do all right i will do enough that they will like me i think yeah you know i can ask for wine i can say hi we're here for this reservation i could say you know things like that so I think I'll do enough but I would have liked to have been a lot better I used to be a lot better you are good I think you're really good in terms of compared to my Spanish levels but I'm not very good at learning languages just unless I'm in the country I can't learn it yeah exactly everyone said that even the lady I work with she said But I'm not very good at learning languages. It's just, unless I'm in the country, I can't learn it.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Yeah, exactly. And everyone said that. Even the lady I work with, she said... She's just naturally picking up, isn't she? She did an internship in England, and that's how she really learned English. She obviously was already learning it. She wanted to always come here. She's married to an English man now. So, you know, like, she's had to learn it.
Starting point is 00:39:59 And now she's working at my place of work. Completely amazing. Like, you would not think that she learned that during uni. She didn't know it. She didn't learn it as a child. She learned it during uni. She never spoke English before that. So if she can do it as an adult, I can do it.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And it is, like, this year, I didn't think I'd achieve some of the goals I have achieved in terms of my career and in terms of, like, my private life. In lots of ways so if I can do that and it did give me a boost winning that fight gave me a boost not just in in what I did but in my ability to do something I can stick at it I can do it I want to achieve it in Spanish is one of my saving money in Spanish being healthy I've got to stick at that I'm already doing that ish um but still I had a friend from Beijing and she didn't learn English till she came to uni
Starting point is 00:40:45 but her English because I was taking Mandarin that's how I met her yeah of course because I was in play and
Starting point is 00:40:53 her English was so good and then my writing yeah we went for dinner and my writing she says and she laughed once and I was like what
Starting point is 00:41:03 and she went you write like a child and I was like thanks I mean I've never written Chinese characters before fair And my writer, and she left once, and I was like, what? And she went, you write like a child. I was like, thanks. I mean, I've never written Chinese characters before, Faye. One more then before we go into the would-you-rathers and then end the episode for this week. So the last final one, and I think we can all get involved in this one.
Starting point is 00:41:21 The resolution was, sorry, the resolution was that I'm going to delete all of my social media accounts and reclaim my life. The fail. Two days in and I've got withdrawal symptoms. I'm twitching. I feel like I've lost my right arm. Instead of detoxing,
Starting point is 00:41:36 I spent hours reading articles about how other people are detoxing. I think I'm now addicted to the idea of detoxing, which is not what I signed up for. And I think... I'm telling you now, that is one thing I will not be doing. I won't be doing it,
Starting point is 00:41:47 but I'll give you some advice and say you will agree. What do you think my advice is? Don't watch things that are bad for your mental health. Absolutely. Watch funny things that make you laugh on a daily. I love social media. I love social media.
Starting point is 00:41:59 I only share the nice... I mean, everyone only shares the good parts of their life because they're lying to you. But actually, it's not the fact that I don't... i don't want to share my sad things it's just that it's something dramatic i just don't want to see someone's sad things so i'm not going to share it yeah we don't want to see things that are like depressive and now don't get me wrong i understand that people want to air their thoughts that's fine so we just choose not to follow them and i advise you guys do that it wouldn't follow anything that when you see it makes you think
Starting point is 00:42:23 oh i wish i had that or i wish i was this or no one's life is perfect so if you see it on social media and they're pretending like it is they're lying also if people are putting like all these great things on social media and they say they've got a great life all the time they're lying to you and they're just making you're feeling depressed based on the fact that they're only sharing the fun stuff because they're probably also depressed but also it might not be that it might be that you're only sharing the fun stuff because they're probably also depressed. But also, it might not be that. It might not be that. It might be that you're only following sad things. Or you're only following sad things. Or, and I don't think that's the case.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Or you're following fitness people who make you feel bad about your fitness levels. Yeah, exactly. Or you're following rich people who make you feel bad about how your house looks. Yeah. Those things. Oh, my house doesn't look like that. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:43:02 My kitchen doesn't look like that. I don't make ice cubes with roses in them I don't no ice ice creams you said ice creams I mean ice cubes
Starting point is 00:43:10 sorry with roses yeah um a little bit of Shabazz says there a little bit of Shabazz we do um
Starting point is 00:43:18 so yeah like not everybody like has this these people who've got these beautiful houses they also have shit in their lives like all of us do so watch
Starting point is 00:43:27 on your new year's goal all of this shit is probably in a corner but your new year's goal is to be in a room they've all got a spare room for that anyway your new year's goal if you're addicted to social media and you feel like it's not affecting your mental health in a positive way
Starting point is 00:43:44 stop following everything you're following and follow the fake people we put in the street names. Also, literally, just to say right now, this side of the camera looks fantastic. You should see behind it. There's kids shit everywhere. Toys. There's a rocking chair in the corner. An attempt to make, like, things look normal. No, there's no attempt to make anything.
Starting point is 00:44:05 There's a printer. There's a TV monitor. There's a clock on the side. Like, there's not... You're being blatantly, clearly, honestly pure. Yeah. There's a Hot Wheels track right there. Makes us look like we've got our shit together.
Starting point is 00:44:18 We have not. We don't have our shit together. No, we don't. So far away from having our shit together our shit is far apart and then on Saturday we've got to move
Starting point is 00:44:30 all this shit over to this side because I want to do a family photo shoot in front of the fireplace so now so then what we're going to do is pretend like the fireplace
Starting point is 00:44:36 is like this beautiful house yeah it's not wait till you see the photos they're going to look fucking sick so would you others and it's my turn this week to do the would you others and I spent some time today They're going to look fucking sick. So, would you rather,
Starting point is 00:44:48 and it's my turn this week to do the would you rather's, and I spent some time today in the office at work writing some would you rather questions solely for Sadie. So I really had Sadie in mind when I was thinking about these and I was really trying to think about how she would feel about saying things. So I've saved the best till last, and I've literally just written it down because it came to me while I was having a wee. So the first one,
Starting point is 00:45:06 Sadie. Would you rather? And it's a tricky one even for me. Okay, go on. Give up wine or cheese for the year?
Starting point is 00:45:19 Well hard. It's like, why not? I mean, is that really? Because wine and cheese, like, they go together. They go together. But no, that's the question.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I've got a gun to your head. I'll be here all year. Which one are you quitting? Probably wine because it's better for my health. It's better for your health. That's what I thought. You've got to pick that, haven't you? Cheese isn't great for your health.
Starting point is 00:45:40 If you're eating in the schools, it's to be healthier. And you've got to quit wine or cheese. You'd quit the wine, wouldn't you? I'm going to be eating cheese daily. Yeah. Wine, a lot of cheese. It's like my main source of calories. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Yeah. Okay. Although, another one of my New Year's resolutions is to obviously eat healthier. So, again, I said to err on because we're going to try... You don't say you're going to eat cheese all the time. No, well, I know, but I do tend to eat it every day. Is porridge for breakfast, chicken and veg for lunch and
Starting point is 00:46:10 then whatever we have for dinner is what we have for dinner. Sandy's very healthy. She does lots of healthy stuff. Every meal at dinner time is either fish or like a meat. She's very good at coming up combos. Well no, it's like a veg and a carb. That's the general plate of healthiness.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Just checking. Anyway, no, it's like a veg and a carb. Like, that's the general plate of healthiness. So, just checking. Anyway, go on. So, next one. Would you rather take up gymnastics five days a week for an hour or wrestling, is it a male wrestling, for three days a week for an hour? Probably male wrestling. For three days a week for an hour instead of gymnastics? Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:44 I would like gymnastics, but I don't think I can maintain it for five days a week and a week for an hour instead of gymnastics. Okay. I would like gymnastics but I don't think I can maintain it for five days a week and I feel like wrestling would make me stronger. Okay. So would gymnastics
Starting point is 00:46:49 but I just wouldn't keep it. Right. Also, how good looking are the men I'm wrestling? Joking. You know. Love you, babe.
Starting point is 00:47:00 He will not watch this. My boyfriend will. He listens to it literally.'m sorry i love him god that's just a joke yeah that's okay but but in the car so before we did the relaunch we had episodes on ages years ago that were on here uh on youtube and we've removed them already for the relaunch but my boyfriend was in on it He was there listening to each episode whilst driving. You can't wait for the launch of this shit. Also, quickly, by the way,
Starting point is 00:47:28 you need to tell your boyfriend, or your fiancé, that I can see all of the messages at Drinking Wine and Talking Shit Instagram page. I was like, I will mention that later. So basically, my boyfriend obviously sends us
Starting point is 00:47:44 to the Drinking Wine and Talking Shit Instagram sends us to the drinking wine and talking shit Instagram page to the messages things that we could potentially talk about or things he's seen
Starting point is 00:47:50 that's funny well I forgot it was going to the one we both logged into it's not mine so it's been very sloppy
Starting point is 00:47:55 I've not read them but I just saw an odd couple come up and I was like note to self telling me tell Chris that
Starting point is 00:48:02 I can read these messages I was like Sadie opens these messages like we're both in there. I've replied not realising I'm also on the drinking monitor talking to a girl.
Starting point is 00:48:13 No, I'm joking, I don't know, it's a heart. I didn't read them. I'm telling them to send them to me. Anyway, go on. Right, okay. You have,
Starting point is 00:48:23 would you rather, so you have to take up a New Year hobby with your hubby okay would you rather take up fishing quad biking or bodybuilding quad biking easy okay sick i love quad biking me and alan would love quad biking together i would think that was a great date when i every week final one and what i hope will be really good one okay would you rather spend two hours a day and you have to think about this how it affects your life okay two hours a day volunteering at a soup kitchen or at a charity shop for charity two hours a day face does it all i'd rather not not other than
Starting point is 00:48:59 charity just because you'd rather not spend two hours a day doing something else. That doesn't make me money. Or spend six hours once a week on a Saturday litter picking with community service convicts but don't have the criminal record. But you only have to do it once a week for six hours. Or you have to do two hours a day volunteer work for a charity. I know, I know it makes you think. Don't answer it based on what you think the viewers will think of you. I won't. I don't want to spend an entire Saturday.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Six hours, not an entire Saturday. You could do it 12 till 6, you could do it 10 till 4. Can I do it 6 till 12? In the morning? Can I do it 4 till 10? In the morning? Yeah. Alright, because I know community service people don't start, so I don't need to stay at 8am, so no. They're convicts, they start when you want. Exactly. When the government want. So it's from 8am.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Well, let's pretend the government want. Also, community service people have to have an employee from the government working, whatever, government council, whatever, working with them during the day. So they don't start until 8am. I know, because I have an ex-boyfriend who got himself into trouble and had to take the community service. So, 8am, between 8am and 8pm, between 8am and 8pm, you can choose your times.
Starting point is 00:50:22 You can do 8 till 2. I know what you're saying. I get the story. Um, I really don't know the answer. You know I have to do my two hours a day. What times are they? After work. No. You've got a job in your
Starting point is 00:50:36 can't quit. Saturday? No. You've got to choose. Would you rather, Sadie? That's the point of the game. I knew this was a banger. Banging would you rather. Anyone with two minutes to go on the loop?
Starting point is 00:50:50 I was on the toilet a moment ago, guys, having a wee break from podcasting. I came up with this one in my head. I just sat there thinking, my best idea is company when I'm on the loop. And this was the one. Mine are when I'm in the bath. In bathrooms.
Starting point is 00:51:04 So, yeah. Okay, non. You can't pick non. You're being falsely. I've got a good idea. Is that been all year? I know when I'm in the bath In bathrooms So yeah Okay Nom You can't pick nom You're being forced in You've got a good idea Is that been all you? I've said Convicts
Starting point is 00:51:12 At least they'll have Good conversation Okay Let's just reiterate That's it You would rather choose Two hours a day With convicts
Starting point is 00:51:19 Because they'll have Better convos Than the two hours a day Volunteering for charity To give back To the better of the world. I'm giving back. I'm litter picking.
Starting point is 00:51:28 She's got to spend the day with convicts. What? That's way better. I'm giving back. That's way better than a serial killer. They won't be that much
Starting point is 00:51:35 cheater. You've got like eight of them convicts. You know the chat. What did you do? I didn't have to pick it up by would you rather. What have you been for?
Starting point is 00:51:43 Come up with some good would you rather's for next week's evening. I've got another question. I've got another question got another question okay what kind of convicts like what prison are they from it's community service
Starting point is 00:51:51 so they're not going to be that bad because you don't go to boring you don't go into prison if you do community service do you you do community service you say convicts
Starting point is 00:51:57 community service you've still been convicted of a crime still on your criminal record but you have to do community service but I'm sure Shankly could they did either way out in the community yeah they're already crime, still on your criminal record, but you have to do community service. But I'm sure Shankly could. They did.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Either way. Out in the community. Community, yeah, yeah. They're already in prison for something else like murder, bank robbery, most likely coming from the film that you've just described. These people have done community service in the UK. Not those two films that you mentioned based in the US. Are they female or male
Starting point is 00:52:21 causes? Male. You didn't clarify it, I saw it. Why? Because the conversation was better. I'd still take the Saturday. The conversation would be better
Starting point is 00:52:29 from the male comics. That's what you're thinking, isn't it? They'd be funnier. Also, what tricks can you teach me if you're robbed? How can I get away
Starting point is 00:52:38 with this crime without getting caught? Got any advice? Yeah. To be fair, look, you'll do a bit of a recce on how to get away
