I should have seen me this morning. No, babe.
I was in a world of trouble.
I woke up and I thought, well, I look like I've been dead five years.
Honestly, I looked, when I say rough, like really.
No, when it's sad when you take your makeup off and you think, oh, there I am.
Who's that?
Who the fuck is that?
And you're looking back at me.
Maybe you're allowed to swear on the pod.
I know, guys.
Go now, fuck.
Go on.
No pasta jar on this fucking podcast.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
No, we want to talk about female friendships because basically our whole DMs is questions
about friendships.
Yeah.
Well, questions about friendships and questions about friendship. Yeah. Well, questions about friendships and questions about like boys.
Being like, being like wanky and I don't like to generalize,
but like generally the questions are about wanky boys and wanky friends.
Sure.
And I just feel like everyone's looking to us, even though
I don't know why everyone thinks we have the answer because we don't.
We should actually put that disclaimer out that we are not professionals.
Oh yeah, that was really important.
And the advice we give is not...
Don't take it at face value.
Exactly.
With a pinch of salt, I'd say, and with no credentials.
No.
And we really are just making it up and I think that that's the thing that people...
Sometimes I think that we make it look really fun and shiny, but like we fight all the time.
All the time.
We get on each other's tits all the time.
As like, it's normal and I think it's really rare to see people doing that like out in the world and everyone thinks, oh my god everyone has these
perfect friends. Yeah and it's not perfect. No and actually the best friendships are the imperfect
friendships. Say it again sister! Okay hold on, sometimes the best friendships are the imperfect
ones. I liked it, you're going with it and it's good. So anyway, so that's why we're here. We wanted, well, that's not why we're here. We're here
to make a load of cash and to get loads of people to subscribe to us.
Well, we won't always talk about female friendships as well.
Sorry, I just think in this day and age with like ring doorbells and like fucking find
my friends. How is anyone cheating?
No, we were saying this the other day.
How you're cheating. How the amount of admin that it requires to just even do two messages and plan your weekends
and the lies that you've told and give her a different name.
And also it's like you were in a six year relationship that you wanted to be out of.
So get out of it.
Put your big boy pants on and dump your girlfriend and go and shag about if that's what you want
to do.
For me, the wildest thing is the feel sorry, the pity message.
Oh, this is so mad.
Are you on crack?
The worst thing that could happen to you, I just got out of a 10 year relationship
and then the first person I mate is you fucker and you have a girlfriend.
He's injecting heroin to his veins this mad.
That is not right.
He's wild.
I actually think it should be illegal. Actually, wild. I actually think it should be illegal.
Actually, sorry. I actually think it should be illegal. Well, like what can you do? Do
you know what I mean? How do you police that? I'm sorry, but if I'm getting fined for going
thirty four in a thirty, you best believe he should be getting fined. But there are
no cameras on the general public and their own homes. It's disgusting. That is... We've
got to figure this out. We need a government body that works just on rat
bags. Yeah, good. Because I can't stand it. Also, it's 2024. Everyone's in ethical
non-monogamy. If you want to shag about, go and find someone that's up for it.
Do you know what I mean? We'll call them the dick detectives. Yeah, we could find
the dick detectives like the pedophile hunters. But the dick detectives, because they're big dicks putting their dicks everywhere.
Actually, they should be the c**k cops because these men are c**ks.
I'm sorry to say it.
Oh, babe, our mum's going to tell us all so much.
Oh, my mum's not listening.
Don't worry about that.
My mum stopped listening to us ages ago.
First episode, she tapped out.
She thought, whoa, can't do this.
It's too much noise.
Too much.
I really just, it makes me so cross because I just think like that poor girl and like
how she had to find out both of them. That is so like you're having a Prosecco at your
Christmas party and then you get that message. No way.
I actually, I'm not saying that obviously what's happened like horrific for you, but
for the girlfriend friend too, as someone who is like, can you imagine babe?
Babe, did I ever tell you about that friend of girlfriend friend too, as someone who is like, can you imagine, babe?
Babe, did I ever tell you about that friend of a friend who was...
Someone I know?
No.
No, it's actually not.
But she was in a relationship for like, I think it was like seven, eight years.
They'd been together since they were really young.
And he basically found out that he had a few, not one, a few STIs. He had been cheating on her.
He had no chance, no chance, no choice, but to tell her because she had them all as well.
She had five STIs.
I know someone who found out because they had chlamydia as well and it was like, well,
I haven't been chagging around. I just think, like, I'm sorry, I do think these men deserve
to go to some sort of penitentiary...
I actually agree, like, there is a lot of litter on our streets that needs picking up.
And I just think, actually, get your high vis on, boys, and get out there.
They could do the fucking Lambeth bins once a week.
They're now taking our bins out twice.
Get these...
What about a pothole?
I went over an awful pothole the other day on my way to yours.
I do agree.
A pothole.
So anything, anything, to make you understand.
Anything else other than someone else's vagina, please.
Disgusting.
Babe, on my birthday last year, do you remember how rude you were?
We haven't even spoken about this.
What?
You were on your phone the whole time, do you remember?
So I'm only inviting you if you don't bring your phone.
Babe, I literally got up and danced with you the first.
You were scrolling on your phone, you were shopping.
And I remember I had to say to you, babe, are you shopping?
I don't remember that.
And also, why has it taken you nine months to say that?
Because Ali Matt blacked out, because I only thought about my birthday now.
Since the last time.
I think that's fake news because I was the first one up there.
OK, get Holly on the blower.
Ring Holly now and she'll say, yeah, you're on your phone the whole time.
You were shopping.
I can't remember what you were looking for.
And then when I told you, you were like, oh, yeah, sorry.
Oh, my God. Sorry about me.
So Ruth, you're only coming to dinner if you don't do that.
Number two, I'm like, do I just have like a big party
and invite everyone?
I'm not over 28.
Not bothered. Not bothered.
Do you know what I'd actually really like to do?
Go on. This is my vibe
and I don't know if it exists.
I'd like to be like, guys, this is where I'm going to be.
If you want to come through, come through. To everyone.
Risky.
It's a risky biz, but I know a lot of people that have done it recently,
and it's quite a vibe if everyone just comes and goes when and as they please,
and I just stay getting Mary in a corner somewhere.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
You and Porry Piot can come.
Yeah.
Or Oxford Lock can come.
Yeah, Porry Piot must get the invite.
Invite me to his birthday.
For one second, he can come.
Let him come. For like an hour. Until to his birthday. For one second he can come. Let him come!
For like an hour.
Until they play Badadam then he can go.
And then you can get in.
Okay, I think either do that or have a dinner and I'll just not be on my phone.
I don't think I was on my phone. I think that I actually did dance for the jazz.
Take Holly right now.
I actually was.
No, you did dance for two seconds but you...
This is a smear campaign against my good character.
I will not have it.
No, it was. I remember being quite shocked.
Well, she had your perfect little dress on.
What happens to Ali Matt? Let me tell you.
And she gets tired.
You lose her. Babe, tell me that shit.
When you're tired, you glaze over and we lose you.
Oh, yeah, that is true.
And that's what happened.
I was, I didn't think I was tired.
I think I was hammered. No, not dinner. Yeah, babe., I didn't think I was tired, I think I was hammered.
No, not dinner.
Yeah babe, I was about four piquantes deep,
I think I was quite hammered.
Yeah, that happens too when she's drunk.
Babe, no, hey, I didn't say anything on the night
because I didn't care, like you do here,
you've got to do some shopping, clearly,
so get it done.
One to 10, how truthful is it?
She's going to say 10.
That I was on my phone for dinner the whole of Jeans
B-Day last year at Soho House. Just reminding you all that we were at Soho House. We will
await the results everybody. We'll await the results. So happy. I think that was fun though.
I think you should do something similar. Yeah. Sorry, all these days
What does she say?
I've just said you must say your truth
Because I just out of turn she says it's a campaign I
Love it. I love my Emma mattress and genuinely like I think obviously it was hashtag gifted
and I'm so hashtag grateful. But like I'm sleeping so well and I do think there's something
about the cooling properties of that mattress that is keeping me at a very good temperature
during the evening.
Hollywood cock. Haha, you were. You were good. Then think you hit a wall at one point and
it was game over. Happens to the best of us. Good.
Okay, fine.
OBS not on the phone in the club.
It was just dinner.
I was also in the club, I was in the head.
And I didn't realize until I left. And you know, when you try and walk and you think, I'm fine, I'm absolutely fine.
Holly, you must speak your truth.
Don't be afraid.
I've spoken my truth.
Good.
So good.
Hey guys.
Can you just chat about struggling with like bad body image and how to get through it?
I know it's not a story, but it is a struggle.
Yeah. Anyways, thank you. Love you both so, so much.
Oh, sorry.
Now that's the kind of length Rihanna likes.
I'm so sorry. I didn't even open my fucking pen lid.
That's Rihanna. That's producer Rihanna likes. Sorry, I didn't even open my fucking pen lid.
That's producer Rihanna length.
That is efficient, babe.
Get to it.
Okay, we've never had this before on the pod,
so I feel like this is a good one.
A really good one because I feel like it's something that...
I don't know if it is something that everyone struggles with, actually.
It's very timely for me, girls,
because I've been in the pits of it recently.
My body image hasn't been this bad since I was like,
like at uni maybe.
Feel like I've had a few good years of feeling okay.
I went through a few wobbles.
I feel like going through a breakup
always makes you feel a bit shaky.
But I've been so bad recently,
and I don't think there's any rhyme or or reason to it apart from maybe being injured.
I think it was because you were injured and you felt like you weren't like moving as much
or like as freely as you'd like to.
Yeah, I mean I also stopped teaching and put on weight.
So I think that can often like make you focus on your body more than you do when you're
just sitting like at your like happy healthy weight.
Do you know what I mean?
What's the baby, you ran a marathon, half marathon, you were training a lot for that.
And then like you injured yourself and you just weren't doing those things.
Yeah, so I guess there were like catalysts as to why like,
when your reflection changes in the mirror, it's hard, I think, not to have a little,
just a little recalibration of how you're're seeing yourself and how you feel in your body.
100%
Clothes get tighter and sometimes that can make your head spiral.
And what I'm being really conscious on at the moment is never ever going back to a place
where that is limiting to me because I've been there and I think that's a really horrible
place to be in.
Like where you're limited by the way that you see yourself.
Because the reality is when you zoom out, nobody looks at you like
you look at you. Nobody cares, really. Like nobody notices the subtle
differences like you do.
Like that your genes feel a bit tighter today than that no one notices.
Nobody notices. Nobody's like judging the bits of yourself that you would really
hone in on. Like my insecurities will not be Al's
insecurities, they're for what she looks at in me.
Like even you say, like you've put on a bit of weight. I just like, I haven't known, like
obviously I haven't, because I don't analyze you every single day. And when you say that
I'm like, oh really where? Yeah. But to her obviously, like, and it is real.
When you're looking at it every day or when you're like... Looking for it.
Yes, and you're fixating on it.
Because that's what starts to happen and that's what I'm trying to get away from.
Because for a while, like, especially when I was in uni, it was like all I thought about
was like restrictive eating, binge eating cycles, like how to be smaller.
And I just feel like that's a place that I don't want to fucking go back to ever.
So if the question is, how do you cope with it when you're in bad body image?
I would say, what have I done this time round that's really helped?
I think I've acknowledged it.
Sometimes I try and like go like, no, I don't feel like that.
I'm so body confident, la la la la.
When actually it's like, that's not the reality.
I do feel different.
And I think acknowledging that is like, acknowledging it as the first step.
That's what they always say, isn't it?
Acceptance is the first step of alcoholics and honesty.
Exactly, of body image and all that.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it is, like it's okay to feel a little bit
out of whack in yourself for whatever reason.
Like it's okay to not feel like Lizzo levels of confidence
every fucking day.
And like, I think as well, and I'm not even just talking about me, I'm talking about smaller people
in general. I think people might look at me, for example, and think, how could she ever
have a bad body image day? When as she says, what's real to you is not real to other people.
Just because I have it about my skin and I have it about my bloating and like, being conscious of that in other people to be like, to not, because I think
if you're someone who does struggle with it every day, to then look at people and glorify
like skinny skinnier people and think, oh, they're so lucky they never struggle with
that when it's like, well, maybe they, I don't know, aren't having a period or whatever it
might be like they might be struggling in different ways,
they're just not so visible to you.
100%, and it all comes back to healthy looking different
for everyone, and us kind of detaching
what we think about ourselves and how we feel in our bodies
from what society tells us is the standardized beauty.
And I think that's really important to get down to,
do you feel uncomfortable, or do you think you should look a different way down to. Like, do you feel uncomfortable?
Or do you think you should look a different way based on what someone's told you is attractive?
Because those are two really different things.
My friend Chloe was like, listen, I love the pod.
I'm really enjoying listening. It's great.
Number one, both of you must stop swearing.
And number two, Ali must stop being so aggressive when she calls people stupid little bitches so now I gave that feedback to Hal and honestly
since she has called everyone she sees a silly little bitch. Not just on eBay both of us.
I was really leaning in. The woman that yesterday gave you some minging tea. No they didn't
toast her tuna sandwich enough and she was like, silly, silly, silly bitch.
The man, sorry, he was more than a silly bitch.
That stupid effing easy jet man, babe.
He was a wanky ticket.
He was a dicky wankhead.
We were talking about what's appropriate to, you know,
slag people off with, like what terms and names,
like what's going too far, do you know what I mean?
Like, what is aggressive?
You could have called someone just like a C next Tuesday
if they just toasted your tuna sandwich, not at all.
It's too much, it's too much, you can't be doing that.
But I would say, babe, the mad, the easy jet man,
he was a C next Tuesday.
No, we were having this huge debate,
so Al was trying to rank it there, she was like,
that's how bad it was.
Basically, she read her booking wrong,
and she didn't have the right luggage allowance,
and she was in her own little world being like,
I do have a large cabin bag,
and she didn't have a large cabin bag.
Of course, I just read it wrong.
She read it wrong, and she just convinced herself
that she did have a large cabin bag.
Anyway, he was like, computer says no vibes,
just like, no, you've got to pay, you silly little bitch.
You silly spoiled bitch, you must pay.
And we were then having this whole debate about what his behavior was.
Because she was saying he's 10 out of 10, you know, he's a...
See, next you say.
I was saying, I think he was a bit of a knob.
You know, he was a bit of a knob.
Baby, he was more than a knob.
He was a dickhead.
This was us in Departures Lounge.
We were having this huge debate.
Anyway, what would you say to the girl in Gales if you wanted to make friends with her?
I would say, um...
I love your trainers.
Good! That is good, babe.
It's a really good inn. I do that with people all the time.
Even that girl in Spain, that girl with the nails,
if I had lived in Spain, I would have said,
where did you get your nails done?
I need to have been friends with her.
Ah, la, la, la, la. You've got to, you know...
I made quite good friends with the girl at the fish market when we were in Barcelona.
Yes.
She went on with the scales on her face.
No.
Oh, the Irish girl.
Yes.
So, oh babe, well done, because you were holding the conversation for both of us.
I couldn't be arsed.
You weren't in the mood.
No.
You've got to be in the mood.
So just go out when you're in the mood and when you feel like you're feeling good and up for talking.
And also, kind of when you first move, you have to kind of force yourself to be in the mood all the time.
If someone comes up to you and talk to you, make an effort to make...
Get their number. Put yourself out there. Be brave, be bold.
Go for a coffee. Where do you live? Oh my God, no way. I live just...
My friend, Lucinda, has actually just moved to Bristol and she's doing this right now.
And she tells me all these stories about meeting these girls.
And last night she went to this naked life drawing with this girl she just met.
And I thought, epic.
As she should.
Get them, girl!
You've got to be bold and be brave.

Moana number two date swap girls. I love it girls and please voice no back.
You're our star of the week.
Yeah, big star of the week.
It's brilliant.
It's epic and I can't wait to hear.
I hope the boys are game.
I always wanted to have an identical twin for this exact reason.
I know.
Well, we were asking Lavia about it, weren't we?
That they used to swap in class all the time.
Yeah, and she was like, they had, I don't want to say her name wrong, Lavia.
Did she say Lavia or Lavia? I think she said Lavia, but maybe I'm wrong. Yeah, and she was like, they had, I don't want to say her name wrong, Lavia. Or did she say Lavia or Lavia?
I think she said Lavia, but maybe I'm wrong.
Okay, let's go with Lavia then.
I just said Lavia.
Lavia and her twin, I think is called Lena, and they are really identical.
They're Olympians, both of them.
They're really identical, babe, they're identical twins.
No, some are identical twins.
I have a set of identical twins that are one identical.
Yeah, also when they grow up normally and they get their own haircuts.
Babes, are your cousins identical?
No, babe!
Obviously not.
Identical twins aren't always identical.
Is she okay?
Twins aren't always identical.
Identical twins aren't always identical.
But then you can kind of tell, like,
because one person's maybe got longer hair.
They can have like a personality, but they...
The whole point of identical twins is they've got the same genes.
But you can kind of tell them apart.
You know that there was a difference between twins in identity.
Yeah!
Also, did you know that identical twins having the exact same DNA...
What's happening? Am I in a simulation?
Is she pranking me?
No, listen, so that if I...
Obviously!
No.
People on the street wouldn't know that.
Oh, people on the street would.
Babe, if we were identical twins, we'd have the same DNA.
And if you got arrested for a crime, you could drop the A.
You could go and download a crossword or something onto your phone
because this influencing is making you really dense.
No, because if you had children, I had children,
I actually could also be their biological mother if we were identical twins.
Wait, is that right?
We must move on. I don't know what's happening.
No, no, sorry. Sorry, sorry. They're the same, but they've got, wait, basically something
about like if you've got an identical twin, you could get arrested, but they could also,
like you could commit the crime, but they could get arrested, but your fingerprints
are different. So then you, that's the only thing.
Because your DNA is the same.
That's why they introduce fingerprints.
Yeah.
That's why they introduce fingerprints for testing in police cases because they couldn't
tell identical twins.
Because of identical twins.
Yeah.
Sorry about this, Rich.
Poor Rich is going to have to go through this with a fine-tooth comb.
Keep this in, Rich.
I think this is good content.
This is awful content.
Quality.
Quality.
Quality.
I'm looking for any advice that you might have
about temporary long distance,
how to communicate about moving in together for the first time,
and all of that super fun grown-up relationship stuff.
You two are my faves, plus Rohana, Richard, and Pori Pyatt, of course.
Thank you for listening. So much love from Michigan.
Michigan!
Yes, she loves the whole crew of Michigan!
Tips for long distance. Don't do it. Michigan. Michigan! Yeah, she loves the whole of Crowe, Michigan!
Tips for long distance.
Don't do it.
I'm a huge fan of long distance.
Like I really, really, I think every, I think if we're trying to reframe, I think it can
be one of the healthiest things that you can do for your relationship because it forces
you to be independent.
Yeah.
Your baby, your situation was so, so niche.
But why? Because like he was, he went away for three, four months was so, so niche. But why?
Because like he went away for three, four months.
Yeah, 100%.
But what I will like challenge you on in that is that you then have this predicament where
when you do spend time together, it's hard to maintain your independence within that
quality time.
And I found that really difficult. So if you're seeing each other for a weekend,
it feels like all that time needs to be dedicated to them.
Yeah, which it kind of does.
I know, and that's such a lie. It's so tricky.
But like the ratio of that to the rest of your life,
like if you were to do that two weekends a month.
Yeah, of course, it's a sacrifice either way.
Yeah.
Of course.
It's just obviously easier when they live near and
they slot into your life more easily. And you can see them for
dinner and not even have a sleepover.
But I think it also makes you question them more. Do I really
want to do this for this person?
Are they worth it?
Yeah. Because like when they live around the corner, it's very
easy to just slip and fall into a relationship and marry someone
in your 30s in a year and a half or two years without really
challenging, is this person right?
Also, you're right, like communication actually in long distance relationships
can almost be better.
Oh, 100%.
There's a lot of conversations that are way easier to have over the phone,
or over text even.
And you know you always have simmering time.
Also, it's really nice to miss someone.
Yeah.
I mean, like, I obviously never have that anymore.
I...
Damn it.
Imagine, she's just been away for 10 days.
Never had a date with him, I once did.
Yes, you did, don't lie.
Okay, I thought about him.
I'm not pining after him for after 10 days.
Like, three, four weeks, we'll do that to you.
Do you know what I mean?
And I'm like...
Who did?
Listen, I was like,
yay, woohoo, going to cuddle him. But like, I'm not like sitting in my bed thinking about
raw after 10 days.
I suppose you've been together for a really long time, decades basically.
But I think like, listen, if you're going to do it, what I'm trying to do is for you
is trying to find the silver lining of it. Because there are actually a lot of silver linings, in my opinion.
Yeah, I have not done this.
I think the keys, though, are like really clear.
Like before he goes, you have to set a parameter of how often you're going to see each other.
How often you're going to, like who's going to fly when.
Also, how you communicate, because some people, for example, aren't really texters, but you
might find that like feels like radio silence.
Yeah.
But then you might be a phone caller and that communication becomes as important as like
quality time when you're together.
Totally.
Because if you miss it, you can go a week and someone hasn't known what's happened in
your life like at all and then they become less familiar to you.
And like you almost have to do it like date night Thursday, like we will sit down and
eat dinner on FaceTime, kind of almost like that.
Especially when you're working, like I doubt many people are texting throughout the day
if they've got a full time job.
So like make sure that you, but you have to have that conversation before.
And then my other piece of advice would be like like, there are so, like Ji is saying, there are so many, like, cute, romantic things that you can do for someone
from far away that you actually can't do when you're next to them.
Yeah.
Like sending a letter or like sending sexy pictures or like so many things,
sending flowers.
Or like utilizing like hotels.
That's really fun.
Yeah.
You know, when you like, I know it's money, but you meet halfway.
And like that's, you would never do that when you're like dating in the same city, really.
You might go on a little mini break eventually.
But like it's, that you can create adventure in it.
Yes.
Just the only thing I would say, and you've said this before, I would never enter into a long distance relationship before if I didn't have an end point.
I was just about to say you've got to have an end date. So in this instance, it might be you moving there because his job might not have an end point.
But there's no way.
Maybe as well, like before, especially because you've got,
your eyes are so open in this situation, you can be like in a year or in six months,
we need to sit down and talk about it again.
Re-evaluate.
Yeah. And like you need to have really clear markers,
because otherwise two years could go by and
then you're like, what are we doing?
Yeah.
Do you remember that story I was telling?
I've been telling everyone I know this about the organ harvest.
Yeah.
This story, I don't know who this is from.
I've been told this firsthand from someone that I can't remember who it is.
Her mom's friend went to Turkey for a tummy tuck, died on the operating table,
her body was returned to the UK missing her heart.
So they basically killed her.
She knows this story, that's why she's not looking shocked.
So they basically killed her for her heart and like it was marked as a tummy tuck,
but she fully had her heart harvested.
Same things happened to these roofing, roofing gauze.
How much does the kidney sell for? Can we look that up?
Sorry.
Ruhana's actually Googling it.
Go on babe, get it.
Two phones out as well.
Let's get price comparison.
Get on Go Compare, would you?
That is shocking.
Vietnam versus Turkey, how much do you think
they're getting for a kidney out there?
How much are you getting for a kidney?
You know, at some places, like, a liver is like 80 grand or something.
But I'd like to know, how do you even get to the black market?
If I was in need of a lung, how would I get to the lung black market?
Well, thank God you wouldn't need to in this country, is all I'll say.
A hundred thousand pounds!
For one kidney?
Oh, my God, he was quids in.
For one kidney?
Wow.
One kidney?
Is that one kidney?
And also, sorry, this is a horrible thing to say, but he's obviously like, you know,
a surgeon and all he had to do was roofie a girl, did it very neatly, very perfectly
and she could move on with her life.
She didn't even feel any pain, babe.
If you had a kidney removed, you'd think you were like,
ow, she just noticed the scar.
And she woke up the next morning.
So he did it overnight.
That is wild.
That's got to be the worst thing to happen on a night out,
maybe ever.
You went out, put your dancing shoes on,
think you might pull, come back without a kidney.
That's wild.
Sorry. I've lost a purse, pull, come back without a kidney. That's wild.
I've lost a purse, but I've never lost a kidney.
Had a few blisters, but not a new scar.
Don't worry about getting mugged on your passport, miss, and fucking hell.
Wow.
We love you so much. We will see you next...
We've got Question of the Week.
Oh, sorry! God!
Holiday mode! Okay, the question is, can you be friends with your best friend's ex?
Okay, number one, no, it's too awkward.
Number two, yes, it's all love.
What do you think everyone voted for?
No, it's too awkward.
I voted no, it's too awkward.
Yeah, no, it's too awkward.
I voted the opposite.
Did you? Did you? Yeah, it's all love. Do you think Yeah, no, it's too... No, I voted the opposite.
Did you?
Did you?
Yeah, it's all love.
Do you think that it's all love?
She's a loving being.
How dare I?
I take it all back.
You look like you're about to square up to me.
I'm telling you now.
So aggressive.
Do you think that?
Yeah, you can be cool.
Yeah, this is a thing.
Cool, but you can't be hot, babe.
No, I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.

I swear to God, I'll be having words.
Do you know what I mean?
No, no.
Defo, just cool.
Cool.

What did the girls say?
They said 81% no, it's too awkward.
Wow.
You're a shit friend.
Shit friend.
You're a shit friend.
Wait, we just told Atlanta number two that you could be cool.
Yeah, we just said it could be done and we just gave it cool.
But we don't give specifics in the stories.
That's the problem.
Why do you say cool?
I too am cool.
Yeah, I think that's it. Cool is the max. I'm not a straight girl. I'm not a straight girl. I'm not a straight girl. I'm not a straight girl. I'm not a straight girl.

Because we'll see how cool you guys are then when you want something from the ex.
Yeah.
When the ex has something he can offer.
Don't you want him on drive-thru?
Yeah.
That'll be awkward.
All comes back to communication.
Yeah, being cool.
And being cool.
Fine.
Fine.
Guys, there's always a place for coolness.
And if everyone just says how they feel and say what you mean, you're good.
Period.
Period.
Period.
I like that.
We're going to bring that in.
That's very good.
Bring it back.
Period.
What about on fleek?
On fleek, I hate.
I will never say on fleek.
Eyebrows on fleek.
That is a poor...
I was listening to this thing the other day and it was like, do you know how much it costs?
If I said this on the pod, I can't remember where we were talking about it.
No, we were talking about it outside, no.
How much it costs to get to that date?
Like, you expect me to look a certain way and to wear certain things and la la la la la.
And actually, you know, my wax alone is as much as the starters.
So I don't know.
It's the truth. It is the truth.
I think if I were single, I would... It gets to the stage where's the truth, it is the truth. I think I would like if I was single I would...
It gets to the stage where you're like when is the point because you can't be
like oh yeah forever. When you ask them to go and do something. When you're taking them out yeah.
But then I would just suggest like Macky's or Nando's. Well then that's... Oh my god, it's a fire alarm!
Come on!
As if.
