Hello, you have reached Leave a Message with me, Ali.
And me, G.
This is a podcast where we help the galleys in need.
Whether you're pumping one out on your wedding day
or you're wondering whether to seek out your sperm donor dad.
This is the podcast for you.
Welcome in.
Babe, you best tell us about your psychic.
Oh, fucking hell.
I've booked in now.
When?
An hour. Did you book an hour?
Yeah, I've booked 60 minutes now.
I'm trying to find a, you know, time when I've got the house to myself.
Yes, that's what you need.
Spirits to like ruminate.
Sorry, I've put it in the diary.
I believe it's next week.
Oh, I have to do it next Tuesday at like four.
I'm hoping we'll all be wrapped up by then.
So yeah, next Tuesday afternoon.
Right.
So this psychic, I almost don't want to, you know, give too many deets.
I don't think you need to.
I don't want to spoil the magic.
I have had a fair few psychic readings in my time, but this psychic, well, I've actually
had a fair few tarot readings in my time.
We love the tarot.
But this psychic was recommended by a friend
who said she predicts when people are going to meet their husbands
but like it's very specific scenarios.
Obviously we were like hookline and sinker get booked in.
Well, because I am so...
That is the first thing I'll ask her.
Sorry, I know I meant to ask about like when our dreams will come true
but I will say, have I got a husband and will I meet him ever?
Because it's looking tricky at the moment.
Let me tell you.
So I will ask her that.
Ask for specifics.
Yeah.
Like, when?
Because if she said...
She can't give a date.
She said to me, 18 months you'll be doing X, Y, Z.
Okay, well, I'll say months.
But this is what I mean.
If she said in 18 months, you'll meet your partner.
You can fuck away.
Babe, no need.
Don't worry about it.
I will be off-inch.
I will say, when she says that, I'll say, and do I have to be on dating apps and
actively dating to find him or is he just going to, you know, fall into my lap?
And if she says, no, sister, you've got to be...
On the app, then you'll be on the apps.
Then I'll be on the apps.
Perhaps. Anyway, she just said some really spooky things about us. And I obviously didn't tell her about G because I didn't want to like, you know, spoil it. But she said a lot of things about us and like our future and like a lot of things that we had talked about that no one would know about. Did she look like a psychic? No.
Ooh. Did she wear glasses? Uh, I can't remember actually. Yes. Did she have curly hair? Yes. I'm getting a premonition.
Do you know what I hate when you?
you like talk about like going to see someone like a psychic is people try and like catch them out
they're like yeah but they she could have looked at you and linked yeah she could have looked at I'm just like
let her but this is what I mean there were things that she said that you couldn't know you wouldn't
have found you couldn't know like things that we've been talking about meetings we've got coming up
that like just no one knows about like really you couldn't find that out did she talk about the
spirits coming through I asked like specific questions like let's say I gave her a name and then
she'd be like, she like looks in the distance.
She's like, oh yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, lovely guides.
Yeah, I've seen that image now.
So she's like talking to them.
Oh my gosh.
And she's like, obviously it's really visual.
So she's seeing whatever that, like she's obviously got a vision.
And because everything she's describing is like visions.
So she'll be like, oh, like about the feather.
Like she was like, I see you standing there and then you've got this.
And like, it's very visual.
And then when I asked her about, I asked her about somewhere in the world.
And she was like, it's kind of like, there's a.
hand bringing you towards that.
I love it.
Me too.
I love it.
And Rour, the most cynical person of all time.
I obviously told him the whole thing, like I told him the whole story.
He would like sit down.
Yeah, and he was he.
He said to me, guys, I just need you to understand, like, the level that Rour does not
believe in this shit.
Well, because Rour is just like classic, like, what?
Classic.
Yeah.
He's just classic.
Like, he thinks it's kind of bolless.
I think in his soul.
Roole is not actually that person.
I know.
He just spends way too much time around...
Product of his environment.
He really is.
Like if Rour would have grown up in like a woo-woo commune.
Oh, 100%.
He could tap in.
Or if Rour went to, like, worked in an office with loads of girls.
Yeah.
He would be very different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it's in him.
Yeah.
He just has to like mask it.
He has to be in a safe space to let it out.
Yeah.
And so he said to me, he was like, maybe I'll see her.
And I said to him,
I was like, who the fuck are you and what have you done with Paul E Pite?
And he said, sometimes it's good to have a bit of guidance.
And I was like, okay, you're freaking me out now.
I love it.
He's turned 30.
He's doing a photo dump.
I'll text him today.
I'm going to text him right now.
Actually, where's the dump?
Where's the dump?
Text him.
I'm going to text him.
Guys, raw, poor, sorry.
God bless.
His pseudonym is really not protecting him from anything.
He's radio silent on social media.
Oh, you would think I was in a relationship with a bot.
Yeah.
For real.
And at dinner the other day, shout out to Paul because we bought him a cookbook for his birthday.
And then he decided to do a full feast for us on Sunday from this cookbook.
And it was delicious.
He likes to cook for holes in G because like they're such foodies and I'm just not.
Yeah.
So he knows if he makes the dauphin noir as I'll eat the dofinoa.
Oh my God.
I didn't leave a dauphinoi behind.
A dofinoa was not safe in my presence.
It was delicious.
He did hispy cabbage.
He did a slow roasted lamb.
Like honestly, it was just amazing.
Anyway, we were chatting, chatting
And then he was talking about the fact that, you know, now he's 30
And he was like, maybe I'll do like a roundup
So a roundup.
He's like, yeah, you know, for my 20s.
I was like, what?
Like a, like a, like on Instagram.
Because he does not post.
He does a post.
His last post is in like 2015.
He wouldn't even re-share a story that boy.
God forbid.
If he puts a story up, I'd be like, are you feeling okay?
Babe, we could literally like perform at like fucking Madison Square Garden
and he wouldn't post.
He wouldn't even put a story up, not one.
I'm not sure he's even a commenter.
No, no, he likes.
He does like.
He doesn't like.
Is that you on his account then?
Because sometimes we...
Yeah, when we get a flurry, that's me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he's not...
I said to him last night, have you not seen our fucking battery driver trailer?
He was like, what's that?
And I was like, oh, right, okay.
No, no, he is like unplugged to the match.
Yes, he's unplugged, that's exactly.
Well, we'll wait with baited breath.
He's turned 30 and he wants...
He'll just see a psychic and he wants to post on Instagram.
Let him.
Let him.
He's becoming a galley.
I kind of love that for him.
Oh, I have to tell you the cutest thing.
One of his friends, I will not.
Let's just call him Will.
Gee met him at Paul's 30th.
And he was like, so sweet.
We were talking about like what he's doing, la la.
And then the following weekend,
Rour was in a taxi on the way back to the tube with this guy and two other boys.
And Will was sat in the front.
And Will was like saying to the boys like,
oh yeah, Ali and G, they do all this stuff, la, la.
And he must have referenced something really specific and niche from a video of ours.
And all of the boys, the other two boys were like, mate, how the fuck do you know that?
And he goes, I'm a galley.
How cute.
Really good.
Like, we're not really close friends, but he's, we see you.
He's a galley.
He's a galley.
We've got a few of them.
I know, secret.
They don't like to tell anyone.
No.
Because, like, how embarrassing.
God forbid it.
It's like that thing that you like to red your AirPods disconnecting and it playing out loud.
And you're listening to something like.
I have that a lot at the moment because I'm really, you know,
listening to like a lot of like 2000s like,
Professor Green.
Oh yeah.
I loved Professor Green.
So obviously a couple of weeks ago,
we asked for comments on Apple.
Slay, I never go on Apple.
I literally am obsessed immediately.
It was on that week.
I saw like loads of them came through.
Okay.
Producer Izzy.
Start, sorry, go.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
You're sleeping on them.
I see, I look at the Spotify ones.
Yeah, also you've got a lot on.
You can be the captain of a house.
I like it. Al, Captain of Apple.
Sure.
Sure.
Because like literally immediately, like there were like so many of them, okay?
Guys!
I'm just obsessed with you, I just need to say that.
And like, they're so funny because we were like really, you know, go into detail.
I have been following Ali and Jesus and start of drive through, listen to them and following their journey is filled the guy.
Like it's long messages.
I love it.
Wow.
However.
Oh dear.
Oh no.
There's a hate.
There was one.
Guys actually.
Like I, do you know, do you know,
Clever trolling.
If you're going to write a hate comment, make it good.
Agree.
Make it specific.
Make it nasty.
Three paragraphs.
Oh, I'm ready.
I'm sat.
Listening to the...
Oh, I know what it's going to be already.
Go on.
Listening to this podcast feels like being trapped on a never-ending bus ride
with two people who can't decide where they're going.
I won't stop talking anyway.
It's messy, directionless and painfully dull.
There's no structure, no planning and no sense of purpose,
just endless rambling disguised.
is he's got out.
That's at you because he's
adding you there.
Excuse me, this is a month ago
so maybe we hadn't got to the
show.
We hadn't had the galley gossip then.
No, the conversations drift around
like tumbleweed in the desert.
Empty, aimless and impossible to care of.
Any interesting idea is
briefly introduced, then
instantly abandoned like a
half-built sand castle washed away
by the tide.
Oh my God, will you send me that? I'm going to put some of that in my book. That's phenomenal imagery.
No, we have called back to recycling bins. Like, come on guys, please.
We do a lot of callback actually. Yeah. The humour feels forced and awkward.
Missing the mark so badly, it becomes uncomfortable to listen to. Instead of feeling entertaining or engaging, the whole thing comes across like a private voice note that accidentally got uploaded.
It's background noise at best and a time sync at worst. Overall, this podcast is all static and no signal, a complete skip.
And I will name and shame you, Imogen.
Oh my God, it's a girl.
Yeah, but she gave us five stars.
Yeah, I think that might have been a mistake.
No, don't care because that's all that matters.
Yeah, that's all that matters.
It sucks to be you, Imogen.
So stupid.
Whether we get about it's your five stars, you stupid witch.
No, but also Imogen.
You think this podcast is shit.
You've just fed us.
We're eating off your plate.
We're now getting some extra tumble weed here in this week's,
in this week's rumble.
That is fucking funny.
That's the kind of hate I like.
Fair play to her, but Imogen, you must get a life, my love.
Because it's not right to have that much time on your hand.
I'm sorry.
Even if that was a positive one.
On your one hand.
Because you must.
Wow.
No, no, I know.
That's brilliant.
Did you see the comment on TikTok recently that said this is why they should make podcast equipment?
Yeah, 50,000 pounds.
50K minimum.
I saw that.
So that people like this can't have a microphone.
Oh, no.
It's so funny.
What doesn't kill your
makes you stronger.
Wow.
Shout out to Imogen.
Shout out to Imogen.
Listen, I like the creativity.
Me too.
I bet much more interesting than like, oh, two posh birds.
Boring, had it before.
Yeah, yeah.
Or they talk over each other.
We know.
We can't help it.
What was that thing when we were in Australia that we,
that they're meandering.
Thank God.
wasn't about it. There was, my dad
text me about somebody else
like in like who does
TV like I'm not going to say who
and my dad just goes
well I have to actually find
the message. No it was so good also because
Ali's dad like God love him like
he's like I would say that he's not like
fully abreast. No no no he's
I would say he's under a breast. He's under
he's undercooked of the movements of Ali and G limited
he's just like he's on a need to no basis
As is my dad.
Okay, so we put something up and our first backseat driver and my dad goes, I should add,
it was eminently watchable, great TV, unlike this person, meandering along rather flatly.
Sorry, but it's true.
They have exhausted their own format.
So good.
Meandering flatly.
So at least we're not meandering flatly.
Yeah, because I'd rather provoke feeling in Imogen than nothing at all.
At least she felt so passionately.
to write, you know, a soliloquy.
Oh, that is so funny.
Get her, life, Bridget.
Right.
Right.
Right, back to the format
because this is a very formatted podcast.
Back to the planning.
You should see the nose for Izzy,
the length she goes to, this girl.
Please.
It's an insult.
Okay, join us on Part 2 for your galley messages.
Please stay.
Please stay in listen to part 2.
Okay, Gallis, welcome back.
Well, we better call the Galli's Imogen.
Of course we must.
Sorry.
If Imogen fits all in you, she'd get quite so much airtime.
Will she troll us more often, probably?
Please.
Please.
Five star away, sis.
Okay, let's hear our first voice name.
Hi, Alian G.
I just had a really random memory and I thought it would be fun to share
and also get some of your experiences.
So when I was in the first.
university, I was really close to this one girl that I lived with. And for the full three years we lived
together in university, she had a pet hamster. And one day, she had messaged me and said, oh, I've had a
really terrible day to day. Can you help me with something? And I said, well, what's happened?
And she said, oh, my hamsters died. I went, oh, God, that's awful. I'm so sorry. What would you
like me to do about it? And she said, well, I've gone to work because I can't look at the hamster anymore in
the cage. But can you please get rid of it?
There's an empty puzzle box next to the cage.
Can you please put the hamster in the puzzle box and get rid of him?
So I went into her room with a dustpan and brush and dustpan and brushed that poor hamster into the puzzle box.
And another interesting piece of context is this was in 2022 when the Beast of the East Storm was happening.
So it was so windy out.
outside and she had asked me to bury the hamster outside and I said well it's really really windy and
absolutely chucking it down with rain so I can't go and bury him now so what do you want me to do
she said oh just get rid of him so what does any logical person do in that moment other than to
put their hamster in the general waste bin in the garage so I had to dispose of this poor girl's
dead hamster and then she did
get quite upset that I didn't bury him, but equally, I think there's a limit to where you can
go to for your friends. So my question off the back of that is what's the most you would do,
either for each other or another friend, if you've got someone as close as you guys are,
and should I have buried the hamster in the middle of the East Beast Wind?
Oh, that's funny. That's so weird. We were talking about Beast of the East last week.
I've had far too many conversations recently about the Beast from the East. I was also
speaking about it with Howells and Marve the other day, because we were just like,
Remember the bees from the East?
Like remember?
I do remember.
Because it was just before COVID, wasn't it?
Raw lived in this, in third year.
They lived in this shit.
It was a shit-ole.
And I'm sorry, boys, if you're listening.
It was a fucking dump.
It was the cold.
They couldn't afford the heating
because it was like a pay bike.
Like, you've to put the coins in.
We used to have a meter,
pay meter for heating.
It's awful.
It was awful.
It's a nightmare.
Bless was.
Wars had the room in the attic.
His deodorant froze.
That's not right.
And in the kids.
kitchen the olive oil froze and I looked at olive oil freezers at minus two degrees and that's how cold their
fucking kitchen was. That's all right. And you wanted me to get sexy doing fucking flips and tricks.
Sexty, no thank you. No sexy. I'll be wearing my dressing gown. I'll be wearing my thermals,
my long johns if you want. And the rest. Um, sorry, this is so good because there is, is there a limit
to what you should do for a friend. I would do it for her and I know G would do it for me.
Really, you should bury a body, let alone a hamster. Do you know what I mean?
I feel like, listen, it was a big ass,
but if she really did love this hamster
and she had it for three years
and it really was, you know, meant a lot to her,
then...
I agree.
I'd have even just lied.
And just thrown it away.
Yeah, because really, oh, it's so sad.
If you love an animal, the thought of it in a grond and bin,
that's not right.
I know, I would do it.
Yeah.
If you called me and said, sis,
I really can't do bad this, I would do it.
I mean, listen, I wouldn't do it with like a smile on my face.
No, and I'd probably be a bit of a martyr about it.
I'd be like every time something,
happen. I'd be like, remember that time I'd buried your hamster. But like, I do think that
there's like, there are no limits. I agree. To when, because also you have to trust with
relationships like that, you have to know that they'd only ask if it was like, well, number one,
if it's, if it's like hardcore or, you know, you're asking because you know you'd do it for them.
Yes. So it's like, don't worry, babe, when you need to bury your actual husband's body,
I will come to your rescue. Sure. Like, I really don't think there is a limit to what I would do.
No, I'd have buried the hamster. Of course. I'd have buried the hamster.
Of course I would.
Even in the beast.
From the east.
Not that you're, you know, I'm not trying to out you because I get it.
It was probably, you did the best you could at the time.
And I'm sure the elements were against you.
I just struggled to pick up the poor little hamster.
That would be my main issue actually.
It's not the burial situation.
It's actually touching it.
I might have said, oh, babe, I might struggle with this one too.
How are we going to do that?
No, babe, you're good.
I know you be good.
I know you be good.
And the mice.
You always do the mice.
I know.
If I actually needed to bury a hamster, I would call you.
Yeah, fair.
I would.
Well, like, gross stuff, I would just always call you.
I just have my, like, dad's, like, voice in my ear.
Like, you know, you're a country girl for God's sake, and I think, like, okay, cool, man.
I can pick up a dead hamster, do you know what I do?
It's not ideal.
It's not ideal.
I would struggle.
But people bury their, like, dogs and cats in the garden.
We did that.
We buried my cat.
Oh, it's actually so sad.
What was he in?
He was in.
Tesco bag.
No.
Oh, God bless my sweet cat tinks drowned in the next door,
in the next door neighbor's pool because he was so blind.
And the neighbor actually had to pick him up and...
When he was all full of water.
Yeah. And he was, oh, it was so bad.
That's no way to go that.
But they called my mum and they were like, do you want to come get him?
My mum was like, I actually can't.
And they were like, no, no, don't worry.
We'll bring him around.
We'll bring him over.
And they like wrapped him in a towel and like...
But that's like, they had to pull him out the fucking pool.
That's awful.
That is awful.
And then we buried him and like, my mom had this really nice, like, what is that a brand of wellies?
Do you marry?
Yeah.
The like nice boot bag.
Because it's got all the cushioning in there and she said he needs to be comfy in heaven.
Sure.
And so we buried him in there and then we put him.
And like even now she'll plant flowers on top of his grave every single year.
Tinks.
Sweet tinks.
No, no.
It's actually heartbreaking.
That cat was like, you know, I love my life.
But I would do that.
If you were in that situation and like, you know, you can't face looking at that, of course I would do that.
Yeah, because you just have to.
Also, there's actually something quite good about, like, obviously it's an animal, but when you're like once removed, you can and you have to just, you have to be the person that does it.
Yeah.
Someone's got to do it.
That's what I always think with these things.
Someone's got to do it.
And who better than someone you love doing it for you.
No, I can't think of one thing you could ask me to do that I wouldn't do.
I was just about to say the same.
If you asked, the question was, what's the thing?
something that you wouldn't do, there's not one thing.
I honestly don't think there is not one thing.
I'm trying to think of something really extreme.
Like crime?
Yeah, of course.
You want me to bury everybody? No worries, babe.
If you're going down, I'm going down, do you know what I mean?
That's the thing.
Well, like, if G had committed a crime, I would rather be implicated
so that I could help her.
Obviously, I'm not going to just let you, like, obviously.
I can't think of any sinking shit that I'd be like, oh, actually see you later.
No way.
I think, and it's awful.
I remember we did a TikTok about this.
once and the comments were all like, this is outrageous.
Oh, it was about, I think it was actually about cheating.
Because we were obviously like, taken to the grave, like, whatever.
And all the comments were like, as if, like, that's so bad, la, la, la.
And I was like, is it?
Because I just think, isn't that what Blood Brothers are?
Isn't that the point?
Like, you're just meant to like, you take your own shit to the grave.
So therefore, you know.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe we're a bad example because, like, you know, I,
lots of people don't live like us.
Like in theory, if you committed a crime, I'm tired anyway.
But you do it for wrong?
So I might as well get my hands dirty.
I do it for holes.
True.
We would.
Maybe we're just types of people.
This is why I always say, I don't have many friends because I need that level of commitment
from people.
Yeah.
I do.
They do it for you too.
100%.
I'm not going to bear my soul and like, you know, tell you like my deepest darkest secrets
if you're not going to, you know, bury your body with me.
Yeah, I'm not going to bury your hamster if you're not going to like, you know,
pick up my medication from the pharmacy.
Obviously, I swear, obviously.
obviously I pray nothing ever happens.
But like if G like hit someone in a car,
I...
So dark.
Or if I hit someone in the car.
Or if something bad happened, first person I would call.
Babe, if it was hitting someone in a car, it'd be me.
Don't know.
It would be me.
Like as in if something bad happened, genuinely first person I would call
because I'd be like, I know you'll help me and he won't be angry at me.
Yes.
I know.
Okay, maybe you'll be angry a bit.
But like...
Not even.
Not in the moment.
Not in the practical.
Yeah.
We had this conversation once about the problem actually.
actually that we often run into is I don't actually know we're made to be criminals.
Because remember when we were talking about how we would actually very important in the car,
do you remember? And I was like, so we're going to get a boat.
No, no, this is the problem. We would be signing up for life. We'd be going down.
At least we'd be together. Yes. Yeah. Yes. We'd have a nice little double bunk.
It'd be sweet. Basically, nothing that you, nothing that you shouldn't do for your best in.
That's just the rules.
Otherwise, don't have a best friend.
Do you know what I mean?
Or do you have a best friend, but don't ask them.
Like, then you just have a different level of friendship
and you just have to decide what level you're signing up for.
Now time for an email from Imogen number two.
Dear Ali and G, firstly, I'd love to say how wonderful I think you both are
and I have been along for the journey since season one of drive-through.
Slay.
Slay.
You are like big sisters and I have learned so much from you both about being yourself,
friendships and so much more.
It was also such a joy to bump into G at the moment.
marathon last year. God, couldn't tell you, sis, but I'm sure it was a joy. I'm sure.
I loved it too. Over the part. Guys, this is the problem with you. She's so nice to everyone.
This is what my psychic said. People really underestimate her because they think she's like this
kind-hearted, fluffy person. But if anyone ever said anything about you, she would take them down.
And then she said she's your stability and I said, yeah, yeah, she is.
Amen.
And she would bury my hamster and I know she would.
Amen, I would.
I really would.
Okay, I'm 24 and I've never been in a romantic relationship, not even had my first kiss.
Most of the time, it doesn't bother me as I'm really independent, but I'm gay and I've had
some difficult experiences with guys growing up.
It's made me quite guarded and I have high standards for what I deserve.
Over the past few years, I've had a bit of a glow up and I get a lot more attention.
But I feel like people assume I'm mixed.
experienced or just sexualized me, which isn't who I am.
At the same time, I'm scared of missing out on romance and exploring my sexuality while I'm young.
I've also really gotten into the gym and there's a guy there I've had a bit of a crush on.
I assumed he was straight, but he's been really friendly, smiling, saying hi, helping me out and now I'm
wondering if he might like me or if he's just being nice.
My problem is, how can I trust my own perception?
Does he like me or is he just nice?
I don't want to make assumptions and make it awkward.
and he makes me so nervous when I see him, my heart starts pounding
and I find it hard to make eye contact with him,
which makes me worry that I'm the problem,
not being receptive or giving him anything back.
I'd really appreciate any advice on how you would read this situation
and how to not let a crush terrify you so that you can be yourself.
Thank you even writing this all out feels like a way off.
Oh, my God, gorgeous boy.
You are stunning.
You're so beautiful.
I must just zoom in.
Glow up of the century, wow, your hair.
How do you know it was a glow up?
though he might have been beautiful oh he said
sorry your lips
what's going on there
it's like hyalronic acid or something you look amazing
wow your skin is amazing
10 out 10! We were just
speaking about this
about I think it's really
rare to
have a crush I genuinely think it is
especially as you get older because
it's really hard to
actually meet people out in the open
the gym is such a
place. I know loads of people actually that have met at the gym.
Really? Yeah, because I think like if you're in a routine, you can see people at the same time.
And I think that becomes like if you don't work in an office or if you work from home, you don't
really get that. So I think the gym can be a place where you can like repeatedly see the same people.
Also, you're kind of, I don't know, there must be some kind of like pheromones going around at the gym.
I always think that. Like I think when you're working out, like didn't they do that whole research?
Yeah, about how that's the best time to meet someone.
Yeah, like if you go on a date straight after you've exercised,
you're more likely to find each other attractive.
The gym is like a really good place where that can happen.
But listen, it's really scary to like open yourself up and to be vulnerable.
But I think the first step is to go in from a place of not putting your crush on a pedestal.
They're not better than you.
They're not.
Like, especially when you fancy someone and you think they're really good looking or they're really impressive or it's really easy to be like, oh my God.
lusting after them and to put them above you,
if you can find a way to bring them down,
like, I don't know, imagine them on the toilet
or like smelling really badly
or just something that like makes them more human to you
because they're not this like deity
that you'd be lucky to be with.
They're just another person.
So if you can bring them down to your level,
then I think it's quite rare to fancy someone.
So I just think lean in.
Like the worst that happens is you get rejected.
but is that actually that bad?
Because you had an opportunity to like shoot your shot.
But also they're a stranger.
So like whatever.
Let them reject you.
Imagine they just slagged us off for three paragraphs.
Don't worry about it.
Like we move on.
Do you know what I mean?
It's exactly the same.
And like you, I think we forget when we fancy someone
that we also have the ability to be in the position of power
where we could turn someone down
and be like it's just not for me.
Sorry.
I just want to pick up on that you said.
My problem is how can I trust my.
my own perception.
Of course you can trust your own perception.
That's all you've got really to go on.
Exactly.
Also, it's okay to get your wires crossed.
Like, it is okay to think someone found that to shoot your shot and then be like,
oh, you didn't.
Fine.
Yeah.
That's so fine.
Happens all the time.
Well, also, you don't even, if you feel that nervous, you don't even need to shoot
your shot, you can do a soft launch.
A soft shot.
Like, as you say, like, just be open.
Like, allow him to, like, rack you up.
Do you know what I mean?
Stretch your hammings.
I don't know.
And like what, like, I'm sure you have conversation, but like, make conversation about
life outside of the gym.
Yes.
Then you're like opening it up.
Like there's clever ways to do it.
To see if he's in a relationship.
Yeah.
To see if he's gay, straight, like hasn't decided yet.
Like what are you doing this weekend?
Yeah, good.
Our stuff, a month in a row.
Chances are he'll say something that will give it away.
Yes.
Treat him like, yeah, he's just someone you want to know.
Like get to know.
Be curious.
I do think with these things there's like a gut instinct.
Me too.
I was talking to my friend the other day about your, about fine tuning your gut instinct
and how like in this world that we live in
that it's like so fucking chaotic
and like everything is out here
we're really disconnected from this
and how like it's actually
it's easier to train than you think
because I think sometimes we have these like
you have this feeling or this perception
or this instinct
but your immediate like response is to ignore it
or to mistrust it
but like if you just in the moment
like really sat with it and thought
wait why did I
why did I think that in that one's like what did I what was I perceiving in my subconscious
that like made me feel that way then now you're going to be like more attuned to those things
like it's I do think it's something that you can become like hyper aware to you and rather than
when you notice it feeling like oh well that's ridiculous lean in be like wait why did I feel that
there must have been something there so like why wouldn't he fancy me do you know what I mean
sometimes you just get a vibe like that that goes for every a friend a colleague like
that could happen in every setting in your life
that you just catch a vibe, good or bad, trust it.
Yeah.
Because it doesn't mean that like you're going to fast track to the end goal
and be in love and be together.
But it does mean that in that fleeting moment
you felt some kind of intrigue from yourself and from him.
Also, you know, if you really want to go woo-woo,
everything in the world is just energy.
Yeah.
So like the reason sometimes I actually did watch this whole thing about how like
sometimes when you just, you know when you just walk into situations
and you just either really like me and you.
Like we just clicked or you go in and you're like, God, I just really like, it's like, something's off.
Yeah.
That is genuinely just energy.
Like you're just, your energy is just on a different vibration.
So if you're, if you're feeling that there's a click, chances are there are?
Click in.
Yeah.
See, about on.
Yeah.
This is exciting.
Also, sorry, just a little tiny side note.
I wouldn't worry about like the experience thing because I think that's something that can be communicated with like your partner when you choose to have one.
Do you know what I mean?
And I think that they can just like go softly, softly with you.
And, you know, you like every single person, especially when you think about like a sexual
partner, they're a new person to you.
Like, I'm not experienced in the way that you like to move sexually.
Like, so nor will I be with the next person.
Do you know what I mean?
Like everyone's new.
You have to learn everyone.
So if you look at it from that place, like even if I copy and paste it everything that my ex-partner
like that I was with for three and a half years.
100%
and arguably had a lot of experience from
that might all be wrong
for my next sexual partner
so I'm still like clean slave
I'm still learning
do you know what I mean
so I wouldn't even worry about that
That's a good
That's good
Everyone's a blank page
And like you know
A kiss is a kiss
There's nothing to it
Well everyone kisses differently
This is the thing
You could have kissed so many boys
Sorry obviously I'm out of practice
You're out of the game of new boys
But I do know
Yeah
It is, I always think this about just like the sex in general.
Like, it is wild.
Yes, it's wild.
And it's the spectrum.
Exactly.
That you can experience from just the human race.
100%.
Like you could have, yeah, you literally could have been.
Some people like tongues.
Some people don't.
Some people hate tongue.
But some people use their tongue really differently to other, like this is what I mean.
Like you could have kissed four, five, 40 boys that all use their tongue the same way.
And then you'll get to 41 and you'll be like, whoa, what are you doing with your tongue?
Yeah.
Like, they're all different and they're all new.
That's why boys are so great.
That's why kissing boys is so fun.
So don't worry about that.
Let us know how it goes.
Say the day and also just don't forget that you are fucking 10 out of 10 stun.
If you ever just forget that, just turn this bit of the podcast on and we'll just say you're so gorgeous.
Babe, look at this now.
Do you remember meeting him?
Yeah.
And I bet.
That was a trick question because, gee wouldn't remember someone we met yesterday.
I hardly remember my own mom.
Don't take it, you know, don't take offense to that.
No, I think you're beautiful.
remember saying you and thinking, God, you're so beautiful. I remember.
Okay, it's time now for
the galley gossip, our favourite segment, because this is where we get to talk to the
galley's direct. What is it? Live and direct.
Excuse me, can you leave a gap for the galley gossip theme tune?
Sorry.
Galli gossip. Thank you. Thank you.
Okay, we've had a voice note regarding a case of mistaken alien G identity.
Love it.
Hey, galleys.
I go to university in London. I was on the Strand where my campus was and I see Alistair Campbell, you know, New Labour Special Advisor. I just think, well, I'm a politics student. I love myself a bit of restless politics. I just got very excited. He was very tall and wearing quite an alarming coat. But, you know, it was definitely him. And I was just a bit stunned in my boots. So I was like, wow. Then my best friend comes up to visit me in London. And I pick her up from the airport and we're catching up and I say,
saw Alistair Campbell on the street. This is amazing. She's just as excited for me. She's saying,
wow. Then I say, didn't see Raw there. She looks at me and she looks very confused and she says,
what? Why would he be there? I don't think they know each other. And I was like, babe,
Raw. Rory Stewart. They literally co-host a podcast together. She was dazed and confused.
And she goes, oh my God, I thought you meant Allie's Raw. She said,
Ali, like her close and personal friend, Ali,
she's fucking new and
raw. Like, what? What?
And I was like, babe, no.
I do think that fucking Alistair Campbell
and Ali's raw know each other.
But I just thought that was hilarious. I was on the
Stans to Express, like, absolutely cackling
to myself. I just thought that was the funniest thing.
And I thought you guys had loved that little
story because it's just so funny that
her first thought when I saw
Alister Campbell was that Ali's roar would know
him. So, yeah, I just thought
it was very funny.
Oh, that is.
funny.
It's really good.
It's Rory Shooen, commonly known as Rour.
No.
Close and personal friends only.
Right.
See, this is what I mean about Pory Pire.
He's famous in his own right now.
Guys, I don't know if I've told you this story,
but he was on this stag like a month ago,
and he was in the fucking cloakroom for the swan in Stockwell.
Like the shittest pub, club, whatever the fuck you want to call it.
No, defamation to the swan in Stokwell.
No, no, defamation, because it's disgusted her.
Is he spent many a night on the title,
I need 20 pounds.
It's not, you know, highbrow, I would say.
And he was in the queue and these two guys came up to him and they were like,
guys.
Guys.
Gay guys.
And we're like, oh my God, you're raw.
He was like, also, he's found a whole new community.
Raw when he's binned is not.
Binned.
Bid.
Rore when he's shit.
Bind.
Bid.
Never heard that.
Oh my God.
I actually loved.
binned but I think it is really harsh.
Is it? Yeah.
I think so. I love it.
Oh well let me lean in then.
Raw when he's been.
Lean in.
Yeah, you don't want to be having a conversation with Raw when he's, you know.
I love him when he's been.
Do you?
Yeah, I think he's jokes.
He's such a happy drunk Roe.
This is why I always say, G and Roe are not just siblings.
They were meant, you were meant to be together, you two.
No, we'd fight all the time.
I think Raw and I would fight more than you and Roar.
About what?
I don't agree.
You're very agreeable.
Yeah.
No, babe, I can't wait for you to see me in a relationship.
It's like this whole weird thing.
I love fighting with my boyfriend.
I can't fight with anyone else.
It's like, I can't be a people pleaser anywhere.
But with my boyfriend, I'm like,
can't let anything go.
Me too.
I think Rour and I would fight.
But maybe that's not fine.
Maybe that says more about what you need to work on
before you get into a relationship.
Maybe.
Probably.
It's been a while.
No, I just mean like you're kind of as perfect.
You like, you like food.
You like...
I'm the perfect girl because I eat.
You like food.
You're like a good...
You're a good housewife.
I am.
You would like tell him like how amazing he is.
I never do that.
True.
And that's all you need.
Because boys are simple.
Yeah, they are.
They're sat in.
Simple creatures.
Right.
Are you ready for what we loved and didn't love from this episode?
Things we loved.
Things we loved.
Poyer actually being a fucking celebrity.
in his own right. Yes. Amen. Things we loved glow-ups. Good. Poor, poor, poor,
things we loved, things we loved, just obsessive, things we loved having high standards and not
letting them slip. Things we loved, knowing that you have good enough friends to ask them to
bury animals or lovers that you've killed. A ride or die that actually is a ride, because everyone,
this is my issue with people. Everyone's like, ah, my partner in crime. They're not your partner in crime.
wouldn't bury your body for them.
They're not.
Has to be crime.
So like everyone's not
not posting about your best or your partner in crime.
If you're not actually going to be their actual partner in actual crime.
And you're not actually going to murder, then don't post about it.
If you're not going to drive in a rental car to get a speedboat and bury and dump a body off the fucking English channel.
Then we don't want to hear about it.
Right.
Things we didn't love.
Having limits to what you would do for your friend.
Yeah.
Because also I would just like to say,
I take great care in going to the tip and dividing out my recycling
and you're out there willy-nilly putting hamsters in general waste bins.
No, no, no, no, bueno.
I think hampers can go in general waste bins.
I don't think they can't.
They're general waste.
You can't recycle hamster.
There must be places for them to go.
You can't just be putting animals.
Obviously not.
It's just a food bin?
Compost, yeah.
Food waste.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying, not general waste.
There's bones in there.
That should go somewhere else.
Do you put your chicken bones in the compost?
I don't know actually now I'm getting...
Now I'm getting down to it.
Now I'm getting...
Now I'm getting into the nitty-gritty of hamster flesh.
I don't know where that goes, for me fair.
Hamster flesh, in my opinion, I'mo, would go in the compost bin.
Not general ways.
Even better if you have one of those...
Do you know those bins?
This is so funny.
Royal sister gave his parents one for like Christmas three years ago.
It's fucking...
Those bins where you put the food in and it makes fertilizer.
Yes, it's amazing.
Put the hamster in there.
A lot of people have it in the sink.
Just straight in the sink.
No.
No, but they doesn't make fertiliser.
That's called an incinerator.
Oh, sorry.
They have it where they actually put the food waste into a thing
and it manufactures fertilizer from all your...
That's where you put the hamster.
That's where the hamster goes.
It says here you've got to wrap the body
and put it in the general list.
Oh.
We've got to wrap it.
And goldfish down the toilet.
Is that still okay?
Yeah, I would say, I would guess.
Fish down the loop, feels right.
You could.
You could.
You could.
You could.
I thought she was going to say that.
did think if she didn't want to brave the elements, maybe it would just go straight down the little.
Also, hampers are smaller than a poo. Definitely it would go down. Amen. Oh, you're not allowed to flush it.
Dead or alive. Okay. Sorry. Guys, especially not alive. That is animal cruelty. Okay, because we do know that.
We don't know a lot, but we do know that. Things we didn't love dead hamsters. To be honest.
Yes. Things we love kissing boys.
Things we didn't love too much tongue. I don't like that.
Speak for yourself.
Because even if she's the tongue, she's...
I'm so tongue.
Oh my God.
There was this one guy.
There was this one guy.
What did he say to you?
I had some feedback once from a guy that I'd been seeing.
We were really binned, as Ali Mack would say.
We'd had loads of margaritas.
And I don't remember why we were...
Also, you know it's gone wrong when you're like analyzing your sex.
Like, it just feels like sex is not a theory test.
You know what I mean?
It's practical.
Practicals get examined too.
True.
And actually, it's...
Sorry.
Also, babe.
You should talk about your sex life.
100%.
You should definitely be taking notes.
Okay, yeah.
Well, he was taking far too many notes.
Okay, too many notes.
He was doing spark notes.
Yeah.
And he basically said that like during sex specifically,
I used too much tongue when snogging.
And I was mortified.
And guys, this was...
So she's got thrust a tongue.
But it was before I got diagnosed with said thrust a tongue.
Diagnosed.
It's a diagnosis.
Babe.
Babe.
Babe.
Babe.
Babe, I'm deadly serious.
This has been a diagnosis.
Thrust a tongue.
It's a diagnosis is for like fucking, I don't know, brain cancer.
No.
Not thrust a tongue.
I think you got alerted.
No, no.
I got diagnosed with thrust the tongue.
Almost a year ago.
That is so offensive to anyone that has ever been diagnosed with something actually real.
Do you know how real this is?
I have spikes on the back of my teeth.
It couldn't be more real.
I don't think it's a...
Do you have it?
therefore it's something you need to be diagnosed with.
It's for special people.
It's for special.
My wee is coming out.
It's for special people and you don't have it.
Therefore, I had to be diagnosed with it.
Yeah, okay.
And I live with it.
I'm a survivor.
Yeah, okay.
I'm surviving and thriving despite of my thrust to tongue diagnosis.
I'm not.
Despite that man telling me that I use too much tongue.
Fuck him.
Okay.
