how's that tiktok going it's 3379
uh it's not great someone's commented you don't you two don't understand
the meaning of the word true we are like queens of self-sabotage actually
who do you think is worse at self-sabotage. Actually, who do you think is worse
at self-sabotaging, me or you?
Probably you.
It's me.
It is me.
In different ways though,
I can be quite self-sabotaging
in quite like destructive emotional ways.
Yeah, you can.
You're just quite, I would say you're...
It's like a bit more hidden.
Yeah, yours is a tiny bit more subtle
and also I do think you're like very conscious not to enact in those behaviours because you're currently It's like a bit more hidden. Yeah, yours is a tiny bit more subtle. And also I do think you're like very conscious
not to enact in those behaviours
because you're currently in your like healing era.
Yeah.
Like you're currently in your growth era.
So I feel like you're like conscious of not doing that.
Whereas I'm still sometimes a bit self-sabotaging
in my lots of different ways.
And you get swept away in the wave, in the current.
I love a current.
We've got to talk about Blink Barrel Bar.
Oh my God. Sorry, I was actually just Blink Brow Bar. Oh my God.
Sorry, I was actually
just looking at you.
Yeah.
You look magnificent.
I know she said
she was better in pictures
but you do look magnificent
with those brows.
Well, the only thing
I will say,
they don't stay laminated
for like that long,
do they?
Like yours are still
quite like, boom.
Because I brush them.
Yeah, I've been brushing.
I've got my brush with me.
Don't panic.
No, no, I brush them
like to the letter.
Like I used a gel.
Did you use a gel?
No, I haven't used a gel. Because otherwise they don't stay on my face. I have got the Blink me. Don't panic. No, no, brush them like to the letter. Like, I used a gel. Did you use a gel? No, I haven't used a gel.
Because otherwise they don't stay in place.
I have got the Blink Brow Bar gel in my bag.
But everyone was asking what we asked for.
We went to Blink Brow Bar
and we asked for a brow thread tint laminate.
Yeah.
And sadly, we're now hooked.
And I honestly don't think
I will ever be able to go out with it ever again.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so tricky when you get hooked
to all of these like
beauty things.
Oh yeah, free or not.
But like,
I was thinking about it, girls.
Like, I don't know
if you're like sat there right now
listening to us,
you're on the tube.
Like, look down at yourself.
Think about how expensive you are.
Like, look at your nails.
Look at your hair.
Look at the makeup on your face.
The makeup on your face the makeup on your face
if you've got tan on
you best believe
Bondi Sands
that shit's expensive
look at your shoes
look at your new purchase
look at your phone
look at your bag
like fuck me hun
you're so expensive
I love that for you
say the thing about
the sunflower
oh yeah
so
the sunflower
what's her real name
Chidera
yeah
she was like
talking on her pod,
if you haven't listened,
she talks about like quite controversial stuff
and she has like quite strong opinions
on things I'd say
and especially the men she dates.
And she was basically like,
I can't date a broke man
because he literally can't afford the body spray
that I'm wearing.
It's the truth.
It is the truth.
But it's crazy because when I was like then thinking about it, like how much it costs each month, Because he literally can't afford the body spray that I'm wearing. It's the truth. It is the truth.
But it's crazy because when I was like then thinking about it,
like how much it costs each month to like... Just exist.
To exist in a way that makes you feel good.
Like even if it's not for the male gaze.
I was talking to this woman in that coffee shop I was in with my bloody mum.
The whole of Stow on the Mould was there.
It was brilliant.
She'd been single for a number of years and she was like,
it's so funny because
if I look at myself now,
I'm like, my nails aren't done.
I'm wearing a fleece
that's covered in dog hair.
Like, la, la, la, la.
And that's like because
she's not in a relationship anymore.
But actually, like,
it's so important
to do those little things
that make you feel good,
whether you're in a relationship or not.
I don't do it for a relationship.
I do it for myself.
No, I know.
I just think sometimes
when you've got someone
like looking at you constantly,
you're less likely
to let yourself go, maybe. Like, not if you're actively think sometimes when you've got someone like looking at you constantly, you're less likely to let yourself go maybe.
Like not if you're actively dating.
Dating like forces you to do it.
But I think,
I don't think it's like a good or bad thing.
I just think it's like interesting
that there probably are certain things
that we do every month
that are just like,
actually that makes me feel good.
And when I let that slip,
I don't feel as good.
This is what we were talking about last weekend,
the two of us,
because...
Just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
Because Pauly Pied
has got the disease of loving to play golf.
And I do call it a disease
because it is catching.
Yeah, it's like COVID.
And...
That and paddle.
What is wrong with men playing paddle?
And divorce, according to Pauly B. Divorce. Catching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, catches... That and paddle. What is wrong with men playing paddle? And divorce, according to Paulie B.
Divorce.
Catching.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, catches, apparently.
Did you know that?
Paul Brunson said
divorce is like a cold.
If you're...
Go on.
If you're in a friendship group
where a couple is getting divorced...
You're 50% more likely to have...
To get divorced.
It is literally catching.
So, let's say G had a friend
who was getting divorced.
Even though I'm one step removed,
I've still now got a 25% increased chance of getting a divorce.
Like literally like a catching disease.
It's crazy.
And that is what golf is to 20-something-year-old men.
But we were talking about this,
and she said something really good,
because I don't, like, to me, it's a waste of time.
And I really am struggling at the moment,
especially when the two of us, G, I, and and i are so time poor i find it madness that you would elect to
spend that much time doing like something so boring it's a really long activity it's just
crazy my dad used to drag me around a golf course and i literally would just be like kicking and
screaming like i don't want to do it and he like, this is the only sport that you can play
anywhere in the world by yourself and make friends.
I was like, I don't want to.
I'm not a businessman in the 1960s.
Idiot.
Sorry.
She's all wrong.
Sorry.
And anyway, then G was like,
the thing is, it's that you don't think it's important.
But for him, at the end of a week on a Saturday,
the one thing he's looking forward to, to relaxing, to spending time with his friends is golf. And it's the same don't think it's important, but for him, at the end of a week, on a Saturday, the one thing he's looking forward to,
to relaxing, to spending time with his friends, is golf.
And it's the same kind of thing.
Like, what I deem important to spend money on,
for example, my nails,
other people think it's total madness.
Yeah.
But it makes me feel good and it's important to me.
And it's like...
Well, it has become a big part of your identity,
I'd say, your nails.
I agree.
But you could say that about like blonde hair,
anything.
Like if it makes you feel good,
even if it feels like frou-frou to other people.
Frou-frou away.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's just, it's respecting.
Other people's priorities.
Which when it comes to golf is hard,
I have to say.
How's that conversation gone recently?
Listen, we had a conversation
and I just said, listen, I understand that it is important to you and i understand that like also for raw
when he was a teenager and like at uni like being the sporty one is was his identity and like when
you work and you don't have time to do that i think maybe then maybe he had a bit of an identity
crisis sure yeah so i said to him i understand all of that but i also just like and i understand
by the way i don't have a leg to stand on
because I will cancel on him at the drop of a hat
for work, for filming, like for everything else.
I'm not asking you to not do it.
I'm just asking you to be mindful
of the amount of time that it takes
and to maybe not do it every single Saturday afternoon
because that is our one crossover window
or whatever it might be.
And he was like, yeah, like I didn't think, anyway, it was good. It was positive be and he was like yeah like I didn't think anyway it was good it was positive and he was like yeah
I will be more mindful anyway then the next weekend he played golf so that's good sorry that's good
uh his handicap's gone down but I am about to break up going on a golf tour so uh yeah that's
that really so that has gone well yeah golf clubs for Christmas really good um okay you do the intro
baby you're much better than me uh Okay, welcome to Leave a Message.
This is the podcast where we listen to your voice notes.
We love to hear from the galleys.

We try and give you some advice.
We try and give you some wisdom.
We try and give you some lulls in our thoughts and opinions.
They're not always good.
So if you're looking for good stuff, go somewhere else.
Well, if you're looking for like serious,
like statistic-based stuff...
Go to Paul Brunson.
You must go and find Paul Brunson
because it won't be us.
Or if you're looking for credibility,
because I don't know how much credibility we've got.
Almost none.
I was watching Louis Theroux and Mia Khalifa
and Louis Theroux had pages and pages of notes
and I thought we've got empty whiteboards.
So sorry.
Vogue and Joanne also, they have their laptops out no and as rob and josh and those are two duos that we really look rob and josh have notes yes it doesn't sound like it sorry boys you wouldn't fucking know
it do they what little jokes written down is it cheating right listen they record on their laptops
and also maybe it's fake notes like maybe it's gobbledygook
you know when you just like
type stuff like random stuff
and just look like
you've prepared
yeah
we don't even bother with that
well we're not claiming
to be like you know
a kind of
fountain of knowledge
thank you
fountain of knowledge
yeah
so anyway
that's this podcast
that you're listening to
right now
we love you
thank you so much
for keeping us going
with your voice notes
and this week
the galleys are called joy good i'm just feeling a bit joyous
hi girlies love the podcast this is a little story and it's lesbian drama so i'm on holiday
with friends about four weeks ago and i recently split up with my partner after four years.
So they decided to go on Tinder, and they're just swiping right, just swiping and swiping.
And then someone messages me, and they're like, I'd like to take you out for a drink.
Go out for this drink with this girl. Amazing. Really lovely. Really kind.
Obviously went back to hers. Had a lot of fun. It was great, great sex. We have a sexy weekend,
really great. Go to some really nice restaurants, have a lot of amazing sex, all good. Get to know
each other a little bit more. But she starts to catch a few feelings. I just feel like there was
a few things that kind of little red flags that come out.
You may say they're major.
She got six calls from her ex over the weekend and was extremely like clingy.
Like when I was trying to walk across the road, like she'd like stop me and put her hand behind my back and like walk me across the road like I was some toddler.
my back and like walk me across the road like I was some toddler um and then would continuously grab my face and like be tell me how beautiful I am and how gorgeous I am and I mean like that's
nice and all but like when it's like constant it's like oh okay but then when we went out for dinner
she was like what kind of engagement ring would you want? Very random question for someone who's come and had a sexy weekend with.
Then persists for me to get my phone out
and says, oh, I think like you should show me
what engagement rings you would want.
And I'm like, well, I don't know.
And she's like, well, look again.
Then gets her phone out and is like,
would you want a Cartier?
Obviously I would want a Cartier.
But obviously I'm not going to say this to a girl that I've
just gone for a weekend and slept with literally once before that and my flight has been cancelled
um three times over two days and she's come and picked me up from the airport took me back to hers
um looked after me starting to get like connected in that kind of. Then a few days later, she'd post a picture,
because I haven't messaged her back quick enough, post a picture of her with the song that I said
was one of my favorite songs in the background, obviously to try and get my attention. Now she's
saying that the communications changed and she doesn't know why and that we would work really well together and I just don't
know how to kind of say to her that I just don't think me and you are gonna work how also gee if
you do want to come to the dark side um don't think you do but if you did there's a little
compliment for you me just bright red babe sorry i'm still
waiting for my um gay awakening so i'll let you know you're still on the dark side on your own
over there she's i don't i don't i've gone bright red you've got a very sexy voice so i could be
swayed can i say something i have not been once hit on by a woman ever in my life it's an energy
thing you're very straight. She gets it three,
four times a week.
It's so,
like,
sorry,
am I not?
Neither do I,
so.
Babe,
you're very straight.
I don't think you should be offended by that.
It's not about being straight,
babe.
No,
you look,
that's not the point.
I think that you,
like,
I think that you can,
I could hit on a gay man
because I thought he was a nice man.
Like,
I thought he looked nice.
No,
no,
no, no.
But you might not be attractive
to like the qualities necessarily
of a gay man.
What, shallow bitch?
Is that what you're saying?
What, you're a shallow bitch?
No, no, no.
We never said that.
I just don't think you give off
like open energy.
I know, I know.
Therefore the girls.
I know.
Whereas I'm desperate for a gay awakening.
I literally am praying
to be Rebel Wilson
because I know my life
will be better and more fulfilled
and the lesbians have better sex.
So every night I'm manifesting
like come on please
just make me gay.
But it's not yet happened.
So thanks babe.
She does just really fancy boys.
I just really fancy them
to my detriment.
Thrilled though
for me and for you.
Nearly single.
Really fun.
I was just going to say
there's a lot to unpack.
To be honest there's not much to unpack. To be honest,
there's not much to unpack.
Al's going to tell you
really straight
what message to send.
Abort.
Abort mission.
Yeah, but what would you say?
Because you've got,
be soft.
I'll sprinkle the softness.
Go on, you go in hard
and I'll give it a bit of
je ne sais quoi.
I'm okay.
For the little soft girls out there
that need a little bit more loving.
It also might be a send and block.
I feel like something's changed
and I'm not into it anymore.
Soft police coming in.
Sorry, excuse me.
I'm not into it anymore.
Quite strong.
That's the truth.
My harder version, babe,
before I did the internal edits,
was you're an absolute fucking psycho bitch.
Don't contact me again.
She just said,
Joy Warner said she's a nice person.
I didn't need with that.
So I think I'm not into it anymore
is actually relatively soft.
I think you could say
I didn't go into this
looking for something serious
and I feel like that's where we're heading.
So I think I'm going to need to step back.
I don't even, babe.
That will get you into trouble.
Why?
Because you'll be like,
why didn't you tell me that at the beginning?
Yeah, true. I don't want anything serious. I just want to be chilled. Why? Because she'll be like, why didn't you tell me that at the beginning? Yeah, true.
I don't want anything serious.
I just want to be chilled.
I'll be casual.
But then you'll be like,
you're not chilled.
Here's a link
to your Instagram post.
Exhibit A of your lack of chill.
You're just going to...
I don't, listen.
You think you need
to be more direct.
Well, I also, sorry,
this is a bitchy thing to say.
You don't know her that well.
You don't owe her
a deep explanation
into the emotional
workings of your emotional world of like your complete nut job you don't need to tell her that
all you need to say is thanks so much goodbye basically i'm out we're done unfollow have a
nice life we don't even clearly live in the same city or country like what you can definitely say
i think we're looking for different things and i don't want to carry this on. And I'm not looking for a psycho.
I was going to say, it's funny, isn't it?
Like there's definitely a fine, fine line
between showcasing that you're into someone
and like making them feel like affirmed
in the fact that you're into them.
Yeah.
And being way too much that it turns them off.
Because actually, if she was like more chilled,
you probably would keep dating her
and like might eventually like her.
You're really aligned on certain things.
Like you have a physical attraction.
Like it's not like she's just blanket crazy,
but she's just got overexcited with you
and like the prospect of you and her together.
She's moved at 100 miles an hour
and now she's put you off.
And that is like,
you've got to keep that balance when you're dating when you first said about the red flags in the beginning
i did the thing thing they were that red i thought fic you can fix that you can like you can say i'm
not a toddler i can walk across the road by myself and you can say can you block your ex can you
block your ex yeah can she not call you so much but like the instagram post i mean that i mean
i'm a wacko and even I wouldn't stoop that low.
Yeah,
because you're like,
follow,
unfollow,
follow,
unfollow.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm not like,
I've done some wack shit
to get people's attention.
I wouldn't do that.
That is weird.
On the wackometer,
it's high.
Yes,
please.
I feel like the whole
walking someone across the street
and touching the back,
the small of their back,
or whatever.
Oh no,
you're so toxic, sorry.
No, she loves chivalry.
Wait, wait, wait.
You'd like that if you liked the person.
Agreed.
And I think this with loads of shit like that.
No, but would it though?
Because sometimes your buddy just rejects it
before your mind knows.
I've been on so many dates where they've touched me
and I've been like, get off me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With some people it feels good and comfortable
and like charming. And then with others it feels like, it feels good and comfortable and like charming.
And then with others, it feels like pushy, a bit controlling and like weird.
And I don't know what that is.
Also, if you take it in isolation, like if that was the only thing,
then maybe it's sexy.
But because it's not in isolation, she's like a bit weird on other counts.
Yes.
Then it's like you're allergic to that person.
As you say, your body might know before your mind does.
The only thing I would implore you to do is just make sure you do have the conversation however you do it because i just
think there's like i don't think there's a conversation to be had there's a text to be sent
it's not a conversation no fine you don't need to ask a question in it or expect to reply i don't i
think no right to reply no right to reply but you can say don't feel the need to reply sorry I will never forget
when I was 18
and my ex-boyfriend
who was also called Rory
cheated on me
and I went to my
I went to my friend's house
uh
Pilu
oh yeah sure
and her mum is
she's so funny
and she typed out
this full
he was such a dick
and he had like
been sending me
these wacko messages being like
i found the love of my life like in you or in the girl he shagged in the new girl oh no no he didn't
even end up with the girl he shagged he shagged this girl then he then he started going out with
his best friend like honestly like it would be like me going you going out with raw like best
best friend's girlfriend makes me feel sick and had texted me this long message being like, I found the love
of my life in her.
I'm so sorry to hurt you
but I feel like
you deserve to know.
I don't need to know anything.
And Pilou's mum
literally wrote him
this email that was like,
The email.
Email.
Do not reply.
No right to reply.
And it was like,
you're a piece of shit.
You're an absolute dick.
You're a psycho.
And then at the end
it was at the bottom.
Do not reply.
Because do not reply.
You can definitely
send a text
and then block.
Aeroplane mode block.
So you clearly
don't live in the same place
so like,
happy days.
Yeah.
At least you had
a nice weekend babe
and a good shack.
So not easy to find.
I know the lesbians
get it better than we do
but it's hard to find
a good shack.
Okay,
if I was tapping
into my highest elevated self
which doesn't hang around
very often.
Yeah, can you?
Because you're being harsh
and you actually have
a really unique skill to be direct in a way that like is actually kind so
can you tap into that i would say something like that i feel like the energy has really shifted
and it's not really sitting that well with me anymore and i don't know if you have got like i
don't know if you've got a misconception of what i was looking for yeah and what this is considering
was it's only been like, we've only seen each other
three or four times. I'm feeling a bit
overwhelmed, and, like, I just don't think I want
to see you anymore. I'm going to step away. Yeah.
In reality, I wouldn't say that. In reality,
she's probably just going, like, no reply.
But you must message, because it's
too... No, no, you must message for yourself
as well, more than anything. Yeah, and just to know that,
like, the door's closed, especially with someone that's a bit
like... Lock that door firmly closed
because she's obviously
got some serious problems.

Before we continue with this week's episode of Leave a Message.
If you want to be part of our group chat,
make sure you leave us a voice note
using all the details in the episode description.
Now, this can be about anything.
Obviously, sometimes we ask you for specific topics,
but if you've got a story that you think,
girls need to hear this,
then get voice noting.
Okay, do you have number two?
Hi, Gallys.
Absolutely love your pod, can I just say?
I've been watching you, and I love you.
So my friend has her boyfriend,
and they've been together for, like, three, four years.
And basically, this was a few months ago,
she was telling me how they were just together,
and, like, having a chat nicely,
and she was just talking to him about how she, like,
doesn't like boys watching porn.
Like, just in general general she just thinks it's
quite like a gross like disgusting thing and it's quite um objectifying if that's a word um and then
he just sort of was a bit like oh well I watch porn like he was like oh I use OnlyFans um admitting
that to her and obviously she like got really annoyed and was angry at him and it made her feel like so
shit about herself because obviously you know that's really not a nice thing to hear so then
he knew how upset she was about it and then a few months later like two months later she was talking
to me again about her boyfriend and she was like oh I was at his house and it was on his laptop and he had a notes
list of like girls names um and she was googling these girls and they were all just like Instagram
models that post photos and like bikini pics some of them had like only fans accounts and things like that um and he had a list of these
women in his notes up which I just think is disgusting like he literally has a girlfriend
obviously you know why does he need all of that still that's just my thought process and obviously
her thought process as well and then especially because he knew that she was upset about it before
just don't understand why he'd still do it but yeah I just thought I'd hear ops on it and anything
you can add to that so yeah I love you love you said what I want to hear your ops opinions really
good I say less say less too many words are said yeah too many syllables and opinions let's get
some ops then.
She's got many thoughts on this, babe.
You lead, I'll follow.
Okay, so I feel like it's quite off-brand of me
to have this opinion.
But it's like,
I've really come to terms with it recently.
I accept it about myself.
Oh, right, yeah.
And I feel okay about it.
I don't like the person I'm in a relationship with
watching porn or paying for OnlyFans. I understand that
we're all sexual beings and we all have urges. And the porn thing is difficult because it's not
that I think watching porn is cheating. I don't have that opinion at all. I struggle with porn
in general about the objectification of like women, the porn industry, the standards in the
porn industry, and also the desensitization
to sex like that's my thing on porn so i feel quite strongly about like me watching porn i
abstain from porn and haven't forever but do now so i would just want my partner to do that do you
know what i mean only fans feels so pointed to me because you're actually paying a specific person
that you've chosen and you want intimacy with them.
That's why you pay for OnlyFans.
And I don't know where your outlet needs to go
as a testosterone-fuelled man.
And I understand that I potentially can't be
your entire drinking well.
I know you might need to go substance elsewhere.
I understand. And I don't
know how that sits with me. I don't have a partner
at the moment, so I can't, like, really
think about a solution to those
quite strong opinions. And I also
wouldn't want it to be something that is, like,
needs to be done in private.
So I don't know what that looks like.
But I don't think she's wrong for finding, like,
the porn hurtful, or, like,
the list of names like whack,
even though he's not technically cheating
or doing anything wrong.
I think OnlyFans is different to porn,
Pornhub, let's say.
Let's call it Pornhub.
Let's call a spade a spade.
Because you're right,
OnlyFans is, I've gone out of my way
to find someone that I,
one person.
That I find attractive.
And to pay for repeated content for one,
that is different to like getting your recommended videos on Pornhub.
Yeah.
Algorithm-wise, whatever it is.
So I don't disagree.
And I also think having a fucking notes app is absolute madness.
Also, what have you done like
ask the boys in the group chat also have you got so many that you just can't remember them like
that is weird maybe it's like well they're all Instagram models aren't they I was thinking is
it like he like pays for a different one a month and he needs to write them down so he doesn't
forget so he gets a bit of variety spice of life you know You like porn. I don't like porn. I don't like, listen.
Al bangs porn all the time.
Can't get her off it.
Can't get enough.
Most use that.
I'm always late
because I'm always watching porn.
Do you know how much he watches porn?
None.
However,
if I went away for a weekend
and I had subsequently found,
I mean, not that I would know,
and I subsequently found out
some way, somehow,
that he had watched a porn video.
Yeah.
I don't think it would like,
first of all, it wouldn't shock me to my core.
No.
I'd be like, yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Sometimes the imagination can't do everything for you.
Yeah, well, it depends on the content as well.
Some of it might shock you.
No, but, okay.
You never know.
Okay, if it's vanilla missionary, that's okay.
If it's missionary doggy or cowgirl, I'm out.
Imagine he's watching something really hardcore,
you're like,
whoa,
I can't do that.
But it wouldn't shock me.
Yeah.
I wouldn't,
I really,
really wouldn't.
I think this has happened
in the past,
especially when we were
long distance.
For a fact he was.
Yeah,
and also,
like,
listen,
I went in hard there
and I don't often have
hard opinions,
but I do on this one.
But I do understand
that it's like
a quantity thing as well
that makes it more worrying.
If it's all the time and I'm lying next to you
and then I'm going up to you.
Or you're needing to like get hard with me.
I just like, there's just something that I know
can become quite like toxic.
It is a sliding scale.
And if it's once in a blue moon,
a couple of times a year,
when you're feeling lonely and your partner's away
or whatever it is.
And you need a bit of stimulation.
Like, you know, the imagination isn't doing it for you then fine i get it but
yeah there's a limit and there's a hard line of like not being able to do to have normal sex if
without porn that's whack um and the thing about desensitization is really, really problematic because like, obviously I'm not dating, but I can only imagine how jarring it is
for boys to just fucking assume
that every sexual encounter
is like the thing that they've watched
with three million hits on Pornhub.
Like, it's crazy.
Also, I have this all the time,
like, because I'm having like,
kind of like casual,
like one night stands at the moment.
I've noticed so much that
some men will have
sex with you because they want to have sex so they will have the sex they want to have
whether that's for their yeah whether that's what they've been watching what they're dreaming of
whatever they have that sex rarely on a one night stand does a man have sex with me like the sex
one night stand does a man have sex with me like the sex we're having in that moment like i don't know you so you fucking flipping me up and down doing somersaults and putting it in my ass is not
actually what i like signed up for in this moment do you know what i mean yeah but like that's the
sex you want to have so you're gonna have that sex and i just feel like that might sometimes be
where that comes from potentially not all men yeah in a relationship
it's a very very it's a firm line it's a weird line like if i found a notes app that is how would
you feel about only fans no it's a no it's the thing when do you stop like what do you stop with
the birth of our first daughter is that when you stop i don't know why there is such a hard line
between only fans and porn. I know.
But for me it feels so like...
Because also they have their favourite porn stars.
Like you would put in your favourite porn girl's name.
Same. True.
And some boys pay for porn, so what's
the difference? I have a question.
Go on girl. So are both of your
opinions on porn based on the ethics?
Mine are largely based on the
ethics, yeah yeah what do you
mean by that like is it is the reason why you don't rate porn or only fans because of the ethical
element like because of the action of him actually watching it yeah probably a bit of both this is a
thing if i had like a really like woke guy that was like oh my god i watched this fucking ethical
porn i know the production company and it's like sexy homemade shit maybe i'd be like fuck i want
to watch that
that's what I was going to ask
so if you found
what about if you found
an ethical
both of you found
an ethical porn house
is that what they're called
yeah
it is now
ethical porn hub
sure
I'd best go to an ethical
porn house
would you watch it
during your relationship
no
I personally
I just think it's weird
to have to watch it.
You're supposed to be making love
to your actual partner in real life
without external,
we did it for millions of years, guys.
You know what I mean?
But then we also,
millions of years,
went to sex parties,
had sex in front of people,
watched other people have sex.
Like, I think it can be used as a kink.
Like, I think porn can be used
as a kink with a partner. That's a very different thing. Like, you think it can be used as a kink. Like, I think porn can be used as a kink with a partner.
That's a very different thing.
Like, you've both decided to find the ethical porn house.
But only up to the point of we're turning it off
and now it's just us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or like, this time it's not,
but next time we don't need the porn.
It's not every time porn.
Like, it's not every night 69.
It's not rinse, repeat, porn hub.
It's rinse, repeat,
respect to your girlfriend.
Okay, and if she doesn't like it,
she doesn't like it.
And maybe on occasion
ethical porn hub.
I think if your friend
doesn't like her boyfriend
watching porn,
she can have that conversation.
Do you know what I mean?
I didn't expect him
to change his behaviour patterns.
We're always pounding porn
every night.
That's like asking him
to not play golf.
It is the same fucking thing.
No, is it fuck?
Change your behaviour.
Okay, I won't go on my golf holiday that I've booked for a year. Okay, why's like asking him to not play golf. It is the same fucking thing. No, is it fuck? Change your behaviour. Okay, I won't go on my golf holiday
that I've booked for a year.
It's kind of the same thing.
Okay, why is it different?
Because you think it's easier
to just not watch porn.
But for some boys, it might be.
No, I don't think it's easier.
I think there's something about porn
or like especially OnlyFans
that feels a tiny bit disrespectful to your...
I think it's disrespectful to go on a golf weekend.
Oh, do we have number three?
Joy number three, hit us.
Hey, galleys.
I just wanted to leave you a message.
First of all, I want to say how proud I am of you guys
and how far you've come in the last year and a half
that I've been watching you silently.
Do I need to have a conversation with my partner about this or not?
Because when it gets brought up to other people, they say I do,
but it's going to be an awkward conversation and a lot so long story short I have a friend called John let's
call him John um we've been friends for four years and it wasn't until last year that our group of
friends said he's in love with you and at first I didn't think anything of it and brushed it off and then over the last
year there's been like weird signs like he has made me a Spotify playlist with suggested songs
in I can send a screenshot if you want um so you can see the type of songs that he's put in
um and then he makes like comments about how he always gets what he wants and if I for example
I went to a festival where a girl took my phone and recorded a video on it and I showed them the
video because it's funny and John made a comment that he would like to like follow them on Instagram
and in the video the girl literally says I have a boyfriend and he made a comment very clearly like
that's never stopped me before um and he's turned very pick me towards me like he
when we're in a group situation he'll always make a joke and make sure that I've heard it and
after being with friends he'll message me separately like does this person make you feel
uncomfortable really randomly um but apparently he's taken our
friends out and been like I'm in love with uh um I don't know how true it is I don't know if the
friends are just saying that to me I don't know why they would just say that to me um but when
it gets brought up people are like oh have you told your partner who by the way I've been with
for six years i have a
mortgage and dogs with this person i'm married without the last name but it's just an awkward
conversation to bring up so how do i go about it you're married without the last name i'm not even
going to take the name no it's not nothing's going to change really i'll just have hopefully a big
fat rock and hopefully a little bit of richer yeah Oh yeah. But I shan't be sharing our proceedings.
You best get LNG limited in the pre-nub.
Lockdown, yeah, don't worry.
Sorry, me and Al were just singing songs
that we think could be really good on that playlist.
What's my playlist?
I went for Sex Bomb, Sex Bomb.
I went for Romeo, take me somewhere we could be alone.
What about this one?
Who's that girl?
Is that one how about temperature oh
temperature by sean paul what's this one i wanna fuck you fuck you this love has taken its whole
army good um okay this is my gut reaction.
Sorry, what the hell is wrong with people?
Like, John's shooting a shot a few too many times.
Get the message, John.
Six years married without the name.
I don't want you.
Like, sorry, you're my friend.
Maybe John listened to the last episode.
What did we say?
About shooting the shot.
Yeah, John's been listening.
Listen, John. Oh, John, sorry,, John's been listening. Listen, John.
Oh, John, sorry.
We gave you bad advice.
Listen, John, we said once, babe.
And the Spotify playlist didn't work.
I don't know what will.
And we didn't say make a Spotify.
I mean, that is too far.
Can I tell you my gut response?
And then we can like dive in to a bit deeper.
My gut response is if you can handle it,
handle it without telling your partner.
If it becomes too much and it overwhelms you, look for a helping hand. Gut responses. If you can handle it, handle it without telling your partner.
If it becomes too much and it overwhelms you,
look for a helping hand.
Because actually, and we've said this before,
sometimes, hashtag not all men,
require another man to look at them and say,
can you back off?
Sometimes your word isn't heard and they need, for whatever reason,
go back to the jungle
or wherever they are
and they need to pound
on each other's chests
when they're like animals.
It's just they receive
that better sometimes
than they receive
your polite like,
oh John,
you're being a bit much.
I had this,
do you not remember?
I do remember.
That boy,
this is such weird.
Did you deal with it
or did Raw?
I feel like Raw said something.
I think Raw said something.
Come on, sexy.
But I don't know what was said.
I was not privy to that conversation.
No, and you shouldn't be.
You don't need to be there.
And I didn't even really...
Like, I didn't ask
because I just thought, like,
it's obviously been dealt with
and it's gone away.
Sorry, that was really sexy.
So basically, I mean, babe,
I don't think you punched him in the face.
No, but, like, saying, like, back off.
I know I don't like possessive, like, behaviour,
but a little bit of it is sexy.
Like sprinkle a bit on.
Yeah.
A protector.
A protector.
But also like in a way that,
okay, so basically what happened was,
Oh, I'm so bad at being highly anonymous.
Okay, my friend Archie has a best friend called,
I don't know,
oh, I can't think of it,
Charlie.
Archie and Charlie, okay?
Charlie's always had a thing. Always charlie's always had a thing always always
always had a thing for me and there was one occasion actually there were two occasions
archie had a birthday two birthday like party two years in a row and on both occasions charlie made
like open moves at me one of them i was sat on a table with charlie on my right raw and i were
basically on opposite tables or different tables and i was sat with charlie on my right. Ro and I were basically on opposite tables,
different tables.
And I was sat with Charlie on my right.
And Charlie ordered this, like,
he ordered a bottle of, like,
really expensive champagne
just for the two of us.
And, like, I fucking hate champagne.
Shooting your miss, honey.
And basically, so he tried to, like, charm me
and, like, you know, be all wanky swanky.
Impress you.
And it didn't impress me.
And the bottle came came and I hate champagne
it tastes like piss
yeah and I said
I don't
he's such a dick as well
because he's like so like
showy offy with his money
and the bottle came
and he
Charlie was like
can you bring the vintage
and I was like
don't bother
I hate champagne
and anyway
this went on and on and on
and there were
and then he started texting me
and there's a picture
where I was do you know that picture we were downstairs in the mirror and he like put his hand on my bum
and then after that he texted me being like oh like let's grab lunch and i naively thought we
can just be friends because i do have a best friend that is as a boy i just thought oh well
that's fine me and this boy can have this same kind of relationship anyway obviously it got too far oh sorry obviously big part of the story that i've missed is that rory's best mate dan said to
charlie can you just like back off that's my best friend's girlfriend and charlie was like um listen
basically that there's no goal without goalie like i can't you can't like you can't stop me
from doing it she's an until she says no she's
fair game i actually think those were kind of those oh my god fair game is so minging disgusting
then then there was that picture then he asked me for lunch then raw stepped in and yes raw big daddy
come on yeah baby i don't know what he said but he would have said something like well it worked highly
inappropriate stop that now it's so hard isn't it because it does feel a bit like oh dad can you
talk to this bully at the playground i know i know and it's like sad that like not sad but
i assume that even you like putting a no in place might not have been heard like rules was
and that's annoying but i do think there might get a stage
where you can no longer, like, bat the advances
and it might actually sound better and be more effective.
Coming from your partner.
He sent me these selfies of us.
Oh, yeah.
I feel enough people were getting angry with my fondness of you,
so not going to put these in the group,
but it's always a blast when you're involved.
Flirt.
Big, fat flirt.
And then I sent him the picture of his hand on my bum.
He said, ha-ha, caught red-handed.
Like, what?
Babe, did you not feel his hand on your ass?
Yeah, I did.
I was obviously absolutely off my head.
Then he sent me a picture of his sunglasses,
and I didn't reply.
It's so bad because it's like the whole line,
like just because there's a goalie doesn't mean you can't score.
Like I genuinely had that situation
where I was in a relationship
and someone fully said that to me
because we'd like got like,
I was with a boy at the time
and my like ex-ex was at this party
and I, he wasn't my ex at the time obviously
he was just a guy that i didn't know and he like was like being really flirty with me and he then
sent me that text i was in a really unhappy relationship and i kind of needed an excuse to
leave it and like that bit of attention was my like get out of jail free card so i feel like
even if someone's in a relationship i don't condone it but i get you like shooting the
shot at least once because stranger things have happened.
People have left relationships.
Once is enough.
Once is fine.
If he continues and you've said really clearly
it's making me feel uncomfortable
that you're kind of singling me out
and you're being a bit pick me.
Also, to verbalise she's fair game.
Like, could you not have just
kept that in your head?
Sorry, fair game is wild.
Also, to Rory's best friend,
like, how stupid do you have to be?
Yeah. Are you for real? People are deluded best friend, like, how stupid do you have to be? Yeah.
Are you for real? People are deluded
and people, like, get carried away and, like,
you know, some people aren't used to not getting
what they want and that's difficult for them to get their head around.
Basically, babe, to answer your question,
if I could've, I didn't actually
really ever get the chance to deal with it because I think
then just Rory, like, knew and we were talking about it
and then he just did something about it. If I had
had the chance, and also Rory was at the dinner like he couldn't it was obvious how did
you reply to those texts just like nice haha yeah nothing didn't give him anything but that wasn't
enough i didn't say like that could have been your opportunity in hindsight to be like that's
highly inappropriate and it was and i agree with everyone else's perception of your fondness of me
so should we leave it there agree yeah but. Yeah. But if I could have done that
and turned back the clock,
I would do it.
And just like kind of,
for the sake of rule,
because I don't,
it's not nice.
It's really, really not a nice feeling to feel like.
So it's a weird conversation to have to have.
Yeah.
So that's what I would recommend doing that.
Trying to deal with it head on.
And if you can't,
then yeah,
you might need to tell your partner.
Round up.
Round up.
Okay. Joy number one oh i want to pick up on something by the way go on quick she said i'm an older listener i'm 30 babe i'd like to can we get that cut from the record because that is not
right 30 is not an older listener babe i'm a year away from it year and three months oh she's getting
really prangy about her first year.
It's going to be good.
I know, but I don't think it's an older listener.
Yeah, no, we must reframe our narrative, guys.
We're young.
We're so young.
We're young and youthful.
The fountain of youth has blessed us.
You must have bought mission.
You must say it with your chest.
Try and be soft. With your chest, but kindly.
Say less.
Say less.
Be clear, concise,
and I'll let you know when i have my gay awakening um joy number two boys watching porn oh controversial um there's not really much more to also i do think it's all
very individual specific yeah it's very hypothetical it's quantity based you can't like make a general
rule actually i really do think that because there might be some girls that have absolutely no issue with their boys watching porn five times a week but this is
a thing you have issue so i think you can articulate that and i think you can ask him
what his driver is and how he could do it in a way if he finds it important if it is like his golf
how he could do it in a way that you find more respectful. Yeah. That might not be keeping a log of girls' names on OnlyFans.
Do you know what I mean?
And then, joy number three, you've got to deal with this.
And you've got to deal with it head on and, like, be more direct than I was.
Yeah, you've got to be, like, blunt.
Yeah.
Sadly.
And he'll be able to take it.
Yeah.
And if he then continues, then you've got to get the heavyweight in, sadly.
Yes, then run to dad.
Daddy.
