Whether you're convinced that your boyfriend is your best mate or you're such a short king, you're sucking on your girlfriends teach. This is the podcast for you. Hi. Hi. Can I tell you? I took some screenshots for you girls. Two replies for the Narn versus Bougat debate.

Come on. Okay, wait a sec. I changed my prompt to what could you throw further a baguette or a nonbread? This was one. this is Marcus I could throw you around further if you'd like me to Oh I see that sort of shit works on me

He's like Because I'm so tiny Kick me up and throw me You need help Do you want to see him? Little Flash? I like him Big boy

I like him He's Canadian Sam's taking it a little more literally Definitely a baguette A gnarmed bread Would soar like a frisbee but not sure it's going to cover the same distance as a baguette. I like that.

That's a scientific approach. A practical king. I like that. Anyway, I thought I'd just share that with you to say, you know, that does work. Is that it? Only two? Sorry. I did know that one guy. Who?

That, um... There was one guy that once popped up. Sorry, there's someone fit on your invite list. Who? Who? Oh my God, yes. Did you see him? Yeah, there's a guy.

There's a guy? Yeah. Who the fuck is here? Wait, what? Al has done her invite list, like sent out her invites for her engagement party if you didn't get one. Sorry. Our condolences.

Um, I was obviously looking. No, not him. That might be Izzy. You've met him. I know him. It's not him. Someone else. He's standing in front of a car. He's got a beard and dark hair. Never seen him in my life. Anyway, I was having a little look as you do, me in holes, having a scroll. And she goes, who's this? Oh, that's a B-boyfriend. Oh, goodness sake. I'm famously look alike. So that's good that I fancy her boyfriend. Yeah. It's perfect. She'll probably fancy you. It's perfect. It's perfect. Bruce. Oh, that is so funny. Oh, well, good to know. I knew he'd be taken. All of Rory's good-looking friends, all have girlfriends. It's so fucking boring for me.

It is, that's the truth. It's so boring. Anyway, my hinge is still there for you to have some fun with. Oh, sorry, Hector, if you're listening, he will honestly dine out on that for years to come. Annabelle, sorry, I didn't mean to steal your man, but you should think it's a compliment, do you know what I mean? Anyway, we were talking because basically I originally put dress code glam.

Yeah, I love glam. I just think glam makes sense. glam makes sense. glam means dress to impress. I agree. I think glam means get your glad rags on. Look good. Heels.

However, you look good, look good. Do you know what I mean? Not black tie, but look good. However, I was then told, it's really irritating, actually, doing this with someone else because I'm like, it's not about you, but he's like, it is kind of about me too.

And I'm like, oh, boring. Like, you know what I mean? When it's your birthday, you can fucking do what you want, but I'm being beholden. Yes. I'm chained. I'm handcuffed.

Like, I would do, like, dress code for my 30. like dress code fit as fuck. Do you know what I mean? Everyone knows what that means. I wanted like dress code glad rags, obviously. Glad rags is a good one. Can't do that.

Why? Because people are thick. What's wrong with him? Because boys don't understand glad rags. But that's fine. By all means, ask away, double check. Do you know what you should have done? Dress code, glad rags, Pinterest link, board.

And then you send a mood board for the girls and the boys. And then no one can get confused because it's there in front of you. That's what you should do that for the wedding. Oh, for the way, there's going to be a three-part Pinterest board. Yeah, agree. Because if I see a floaty floral dress that doesn't touch the floor, I will ask them to leave. Wow. I hate those dresses.

I don't know what. I don't know which one you're referencing. Like, you know, like it's like a middy. And it's like a floaty, like a rick-so. Like a rick-so. Oh, God, no rick-so allowed. No rick-so allowed. I quite like a rick-o.

Rixot is posh girls crack. It is. And I'm not having that. I'm not. Not having that anywhere any. Every wedding I've been to there, I've been at least two girls wearing the same Rixo dress. Imagine you write on your wedding invite no Rixo. That would be so defamatory to Rixo.

Because some Rixot dresses are slay. I will say that. They are. Some, few. Well, you've heard it here. Also, I do prefer. I hate campaigning as Rixo. I do prefer.

You do prefer what? Like a floor length. Yeah. If it's black tie, you would want a floor length, really. No, but some people think black tie is midi. Cocktail is midi. This is what I'm telling you. Just start with this business.

I don't know what it means. So Izzy basically is obviously Genzi. She's young. She's not in this realm yet. She's not going to... Me too, by the way. This is my first engagement party. Must I say that.

No, I'm joking it's not. But like, you know, we're getting to the stage where it's kind of quite normal to have weddings, engagement party. 30th, God forbid. Izzy is new to this. She shouldn't be here yet, but we're dragging her up. us and she was like what the hell is cocktail what the hell

cocktail in my opinion is fit as fuck cocktail cocktail is not fit as fuck that's the problem you've been forced into a corner here sis because cocktail is not fit as fuck at all okay cocktail is glad rags but i think it's too class it's a bit classic yeah yeah no godrard rags can be classy cocktail is a bit chuggy yeah but how do you say that i don't know i i i you're okay what needs to happen is needs to be a board and I need to be on it because Raw has got it wrong. But you're on the board. No one spoke to me about cocktail.

And Raw was saying cocktail, cocktail, cocktail, he didn't know what that meant for the girls. Because for the girls, cocktail is actually a bit more like fuddy-duddy. It's a mid-y, it's a like cocktail dress. Maybe I need the message in the group. Should I do it right now? No, no, I don't think I can set. I genuinely think that is your saving grace. Because I think then everyone has a visual.

Okay. No one's confused. Can I have my knee out? Yes, babe. But technically, no, but yes, of course she can't. Is it? Is that right technically? Technically, I think cocktail is midi.

Cocktail is mini and midi. Cocktail dress. We've had this debate before. When was this? Do you remember? It was at that event. We went with Virgin. Do you remember?

And we had this whole conversation about what a cocktail dress is. It's a semi-formal dress code balancing elegance and fun. She's got a chugie. It's toogy. It's awful. It's not funky. It's not funky. I should have written glam and suits.

The only reason I was made, My hand was forced because rule was like, if you write glam, some boys will come in suits and some boys won't and that's also awkward for them. But no one's going to come in jeans when it says glam. They might. Smart jeans and a shirt, some boys might do that.

That might be glam enough. Listen, I'm not, I, I am. And he wants suits. I think if some people are going to wear suits, everyone needs to wear suits or everyone needs to not wear suits. I think you need to specify. Because I think it's awkward if there's like a minority. You still with boys though, I hate to, you know, play devil's advocate.

You might still get confused boys that don't come in a suit in cocktail. And they just wear a chino and a shirt. Definitely. See, for my birthday last year, because I wanted glam, we said met gala after party. Love! Oh, that is good. That's perfect. And I feel like that ticks the box that you're looking for.

That is it. Because then that means suit. Yes. For the boys. No, sorry, cocktail attire, a tailored suit or sharp blazer. It's actually a sharp blazer. Charlotte Blazer? But they could come in a Chino.

I think we need the Pinterest board. This is awful. No, it's not awful. This is awful. No, no, this is... People are dying, Kim. It's not awful. Little Pinterest, babe, you'll have fun making that.

Do a Pinterest. Boys, girls, they thems. Okay. Because I think otherwise everyone's going to get confused. Okay. And maybe I'll do the same for my 30th. I think it's helpful. Did you write Fitzfuck?

I think, I can't remember. Because if you did, I think, yeah, there needs clarification on that. What do you envisage when you say that? I don't give a shit as long as you look good. I don't care. If someone came in a suit and they felt they looked good and someone came in trackies and they felt they looked good, I actually wouldn't care.

But do you think that they would care if someone, like, as in my main thing is that I hate being either underdressed or overdressed. So like I would only... But I don't think boys care. Oh, I think boys care. Me? Really, I know boys care. But then they probably underdress.

Yeah, he was underdressed. So then that doesn't... Does that matter? As in if you're the kind of person that would go overdressed, You probably don't give a fuck. I don't know because, okay, so we went to this wedding in Como. A wedding is different, to be fair, than like a party. Because a wedding you've got all day looking around thinking, God, I've got it wrong.

He was one of two boys out of like 120 that wasn't wearing a tie. And I did think, I actually don't have. Because it was linen suits. Yeah, I'm on Rawls' side. Why would you have a tie on? Every single boy had every single one. And he felt left out of a memo he had not received. Of course he did.

Yeah. So on the thing, maybe, you know, if you're going to do linen suits, you need to specify with ties. Guys, just honestly, saving grace, Pinterest board. I just, I'll just die on this hill. Yeah. Okay. I just think you need a mood board. Yeah, okay. It's the only way to get through it. Because then if there's not one linen suit on the mood board, you would never wear linen. If there's not a gene in sight, you would never wear a jean. Do you know what I mean? Yes. Okay. I will get work. We've got two weeks off, guys. So I'll lose that time to make a Pinterest board. Yeah. And I will come back and share that with the group. And we'll just have to fucking hope and pray. Also, on the day, no one gives a shit. No, I don't give a shit. I always feel, like, bad for people that come and then you know when someone clocks that they're not wearing the right thing. And it's like, oh, I feel so. I mean, I definitely think is it suits. Yeah, you need to tell everyone to wear suits.

Because I think, also, that's like low hang, like easy, right, to put a suit on if you're a guy, you've got a suit. I think so. I think so. Anyway, what a week. So, yeah, anyway, but sorry, back to me. I got robbed. So set the scene. What's happened in case people haven't seen the video?

So I'm basically, in Joe and the Jews on Oxford Street, I'm writing. My deadline for my first draft of my second book was the following day. So I'm locked in. I'm giving serious lock-in. Alan and I've just been fanning about. So you're inside the shot. I'm inside the shop. I'm sat looking out.

I'm on the little high bar. I'm writing like this. I've just been editing the ditto little breather because I was a bit, you know, tired, if you will. Editing the dish where I'm thinking, I'll post that. at three o'clock. I put my phone here, my laptop here. A woman comes over to me, her, like, here in my face, like so, and she has a menu of like burgers, fast food, and she puts it right up close to me like this, and then she's in my face. I've got my noise cancelling on and I'm listening to music. So I'm literally like, so like, hey, like get away from me, trying to just

get rid of her not really clocking. And then when I clock, I think, oh my God, she's going to steal my phone, I think, no, it's fine, my music is still playing. stupid idiot that was rookie yeah stupid idiot because I knew I clocked it and then I was like

then I started looking for my phone obviously she then left and then my music I was looking I couldn't find my phone my music stopped and I was like

fuck do you think if you've reacted when you were clocked if I'd have said I could have grabbed her and be like where the hell is my phone why didn't I do that

by that point the phone had gone though but this is the thing had someone else taking the phone I don't know I don't know whether she was working

alone or not so when you you run out, you left your laptop on the side. Yeah, like a fucking phone. With my book, which is saved nowhere, by the way, it's literally just remotely on word on my laptop. That would have literally been that. That would have. Please back that up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have now backed it up. And I literally, when I sent it to Tienie, I was like, I've saved this in 55 different places, please, can you do the same? Because I'm so afraid of losing that. Can I say the comments that everyone is having to happen to them? Everyone is having the same thing. It's right. It's so bad.

Also, I was speaking to Marve about it last night and I was like, I did, for Like, I kind of clocked it a bit too late, but I think I had time. If I'd have, like, switched on, I think I could have screamed. And Marv said she had it. She was at a station with a girl on the way to a wedding. And she had exactly the same happen. And Margot screamed. And the woman, like, got flustered and dropped the phone.

So I could have screamed. Hey, well, there's this really famous pickpocket. What an awful thing to be, a famous pickpocket. Exactly. And she walks around London and people know who she is because there's this one guy. He is amazing. I don't know what his name is. He basically, his whole page is like busting pit pockets.

Wow. And this one woman, he's seen like so many times. He's like taken so many videos. She's the modern Oliver Twist. Yeah. Yes. And she was walking down the street the other day in Oxa Circus and every single person was like, fuck it!

Screaming at her as she walked down the street. Like, her face, like everyone knows who she is. Wow. And also there's that other guy. I don't know what his name is who, the homeless people that are fake, he goes and he follows them and he watches them get into a fucking black van at the end of the day because they're working for like a homeless ring. I do just think that can't be a good way of making money because no one's got cash anymore.

I agree. So why are these guys putting in, whereas I thought my woman that robbed me, good days worked to be fair, sis. Because even if you just stole my phone $800, $800,000 in the bag. That's a great day rate. That is a brilliant Although I get that phone in March Anywhere are they selling that Anywhere

eBay It's just a phone True She'll just say it's her old phone True Like literally genius That's a great day rate Higher than our day rate

She does five phones She's laughing And she was a magician By the time I clocked To go out into the streets She'd find her She disappeared She vanished

I was like It wasn't her I'm so sure of it I think there were too I think you had an accomplice Joe and the Juice If you're listening Oxid Street branch

Get in touch I genuinely... I would love to see that CCTV. I probably would pay £100 to see that. Oh, I looked so embarrassing that you should have seen me after I was so flustered on the phone to out. I'm like, babe! Because I rang her off my laptop.

I was like, my phone has been stolen. And I was editing, I would never, I've never go over this. I was editing the day and the live from the Spider-Man premiere and that will honestly... That could have gone viral. That probably would have gone viral actually. That is tears in my eye. So yeah, anyway, so then I had to outright buy a new phone

because my phone wasn't insured. It was a real... Should I always think about me? I'm like, if life is a game of monopoly, I'm just constantly landing on something bad. But babe, you don't help yourself. I'm sorry. You really, it's not, that is giving victim mentality. Don't get me wrong. You were a victim of a phone robbery. However, you didn't insure it. I actually was a victim of a phone robbery, to be fair to me. You were a victim of a phone robbery, but you were then a victim of your own stupidity for not insuring your phone when you brought it in March, which is honestly like page one of the textbook of owning a phone. I bet there's loads of people that don't have insurance on their phone. I don't think there will be that many.

Is your phone insured? No, and I have my phone nick twice as well. You don't have an insured your phone? No. And why have you not done that? Because I'm cheap. I buy them secondhand and you can't insure the secondhand ones. Really?

No, you can't, yeah, for some reason. That might not be true. That might have been a lie. Yeah, when you take out of phone on contract with OT, you can't insure it. You just can't insure it. I think you can be sure it. I'm so sorry. Oh, well, right. We best move on anyway. Before I get shouted at even more, you can join us in part two for your galley messages.

Okay, galleys, welcome back. Okay, what will we call the galleys this week? Let's call the galleys Oliver. Good. For Oliver Twist. Okay, let's hear our first voice note. Hi, Ali and G. So my best friends at uni live with a guy who will call Owen, who I really fancy.

but he is a girlfriend. However, in the new year, they broke up, and there's always been some unspoken tension between us. And on St Patrick's Day, we were in a big group with our friends and his ex, and I turned to him as a joke and said, let's make her jealous. We pretended to kiss in front of her,

but nothing happened then until later that night when no one else was around, and we hooked up and slept together. The next night, word had gotten around that we had gotten together, and I found out he had actually gone with his ex the night before. And also following our sleepover, I found out he had gotten with four other girls that same week in four nights. Anyways, one of the girls, let's call her daffodil. So when we broke up for Easter, we continued to talk.

And when we got back, the spark continued and we kept taking up. At the end of uni, our friendship group went on a weekend away. And we got really drunk and ended up skinny dipping as a whole group. But we were the last two left over and things got pretty heated between us. I got a message from him saying he has to clap. Soon after he told me, Fuck, yeah. I got whipped ash.

I found out. Even though I knew he still had to clap because he hadn't gotten his medication yet. But here comes the funny thing is that I'm actually living in a house with him next year. So I don't know what I should actually do. I don't know if we should stay friends or continue this fling as we have a really good sense of humour. We sort of share and we get on so well.

So I just don't know what we should do. Bloody hell I think what you should do is get your head checked because that is not why Seek federal advice and take your clap pill That is what you should do Why would you sign a lease to live with this boy

That is fucked Sorry, I mean it's too late now You can't back out No well you're in now legally binding What you're gonna do, sublet I honestly The fact that you That is brilliant

The fact you've got to this day age, where are your friends holding you back from the fucking wing? They're skinny dipping with her babe. That's where her friends are. They're stripping their kit off and jumping in a pool. There's no help. You need some rational friends. That's not right.

I'm going to say, and this is going to go against everything you're going to want to do because you want to live for the plot. And as you should, third year of uni, live your life. I would say, maybe don't sleep with him. I would say the same, but I know you're going to. I think it's going to be almost impossible to get through a whole year of living next to this boy who you have great ken with you, you get on really well with you, shag glows, and there's all this too much good stuff, what, and you're just going to be his

friend. But maybe if you're living with him and you're seeing him shag four girls a week, it might put you off. Let's hope. Like a conveyor belt of women, you might be like, actually, I don't really want to be one of them. Listen, I think you need to have an actual conversation and say, brother, I don't know actually how we've landed ourselves in this mess yet. Here we are. Yeah. As we, you know, continue down this journey of life together, maybe we could implement some fucking basic ground rules boundaries, if you will, that are to be a tier to at all times.

Firstly, condoms with all of the women you're shagging. Secondly, it can't before a week. You've got to cut down on that. And if it is, go to theirs. Like, I don't need to see four girls in and out. No, these women are not your vegetables. It does not need to be five a day. Do you know what I mean?

Do what I mean? Exactly. Number three, my services are close. closed. I genuinely think it's a flex to close your services. I do. I think go into maintenance. It's not open for you. Exactly. We are not, our opening hours are now none. Right. We do not open for you. I'm stocking up elsewhere. Exactly. Thank you. I'm filling my shelves off. Thank you. Fucking scrubby skid marks off the toilet. Yeah. Let's let's have a laugh and a joke. Let's have a lull. Let's make dinner together. Let's be friends. And don't try anything on. Like, don't, when you get pissed, don't try it. I would say you could put in a little kind of claws.

that says special occasions allowed. Is it though? Because I don't know. Christmas, New Year's Eve. Christmas New Year's Eve? Christmas New Year's Eve only one term in. True. I think we could have...

Once a term? Or, at least. Or end of exams. Big summer blowout. One big summer blow out. Right. Fine. Because then you'll be on your merry way

you're not having to live together. Why do you say, I'll save myself for you? Yeah. And we'll have one epic night of shagging. In June. Yeah. Until then, a metre's distance, please, as if it were COVID. Thank you.

I think you can say daffodil's not allowed onto the premises. Yeah, daffodil has got a nowhere. You could, like, a bouncer. You just have her, like, photo by the door. This one's barred. Because I just think she doesn't need to be. If you need to go to daffodils, off you go. That's what I'm saying.

Fine. Please, as you were at her house. Water your lawn elsewhere. Thank you. Our lawn is well serviced. And then you have to put the effort in. To not shag him. To not shag him and to shag other people.

Because if you're at home and he's shagging other people and you're not, that's going to create a problem. Yeah, because then you're just going to want to shag him to prove you, to prove he wants to shag you. Yeah. Yeah. You've got to get, you've got to get out this. You've got to get busy.

You've got to get on the streets. Thank you. Yeah. And you also need to wear condoms because it looks like everyone's just passing the clap back and forth and back and forth. Fucking hell. And you know the worst thing about Chlamydia is the fact that no one ever really owns up to having it.

Fair play to him for saying he had it. I had this once and there was three culpras. Not one of them said they had the clap. And I thought, well, it was fucking one of you. Maybe they didn't know. I told them. Oh. I said, I have been given chlamydia by one.

of you. Who the fuck was it? Not one of them owned up having Chimidia. But maybe they didn't know. They said, I don't have it as if I've got tested. I don't have it. Also the clap is gonorrhea shut the fuck up. What? Yeah. I know. It's a classic mistake because it sounds like. I was today years old when I learned that. Are you sure? Are you sure? Yeah, look, Google it. But clap is a common slang term for gonorrhea. Well, don't that. Gonorrhea is, I think, I argue, not that any are bad, but I'm not. No, no. Nothing's bad. We do not. We do not. Do I shame we all have them? No, but you say you're having the clap.

You're telling the people you've had gone. Oh, sorry. I've all my life said the clap for Columbia. Everybody thinks it's because of the sea, but I don't know why it's so much. Right. Well, in that case, you know, stay a fucking, stay away. Because gonorrhea and actually now super gonorrhea. It's gonorrhea harder to get rid of.

Yeah, and it's way more aggressive. Like, I think the symptoms are much, much worse. Oh, my God. And it's much more, it's a super, they had a strain. It was called super gonorrhea because it was like so easily transmissible. Uni, uni campuses. Because you've got to be careful. And also, I don't mean to scare mumga, anyone, but gonorrhea can affect your fertility.

So can clomedia. But like, I think because gonorrhea is really aggressive, like, all I know is you don't want gonorrhea. Yeah, and just get treated. Why is he sitting on that? Why is he not getting treated straight away? What's he scared of? Take your pill. Whatever it is.

It's a gonorrhea of pill. Injection in the bum, I believe. Jesus Christ. It's quite an intense. Because boys are pussy bitches. That's genuinely why. He's being a pussy bitch. He's being a pussy bitch.

And I think... Maybe he thinks he's going to stop him shagging for a while and he is a serial shagger. I hate that. Well, you learn something new every day. Wow. Well, good luck, babe. And remember, insert some boundaries. Please, for the love of God.

Right, now it's time for an email. And you said in comfortably. Hell yeah. Hey, galleys. I have a little dilemma that I'm hoping you can help with. My ex-boyfriend and I broke up. just over a year ago. We were long distance and I've recently had a mini panic that he might still have my spicy pictures on his phone. Oh, tell his oldest time. He's absolutely not the kind of person

to share them or anything like that, but it still makes me feel really uncomfortable thinking they could still be there. We don't speak anymore, but our families are close, so we do occasionally see each other. It's always just small talk. Do you think I should send him a message asking if he still has them and if he could delete them if he does, or is that way too awkward? Should I just leave it and hope he's already deleted them. Love you both and thank you in advance. This is just... My ex has the wildest explicit content of me.

Like, I'm mortified even thinking about it, but I would never text him to ask what he's done with them, ever. Because I just think, like, at one time you loved and respected each other and you just have to, like, hope and pray that that is enough. My problem is, I don't trust anyone, so hope and pray all you want. Like if you're, you know, if we get really famous and the Daily Mail says, I'll give you 20 grand for those, he might be tempted. But what's my text to him going to do? If he's the kind of person that wants to hold on to something to sell it to the Daily Mail for 20K, he's the kind of person that's going to go, yeah, delete it.

What's he going to do? He's going to, if I text him, he's obviously not going to be like, I'm key. Like, unless I could have access to his phone, I think I'm pretty powerless. And the actual lesson is who you share those explicit images with. Yes, I was going to say that I think. Let's back it up. Yeah. In a dream world, I would say, I know it's very tempting.

Or send them on a thing that you can't screenshot. Yeah. They now make special apps so that you can send your sexy pictures. Yes, encrypted. Yeah. Timer. Disappearing messages. I agree.

I really think. It's actually something people don't really talk about that about your ex sexy picture. I know. Even like of what you have on. Like everyone has them of each other. I actually don't think I do have any. You must. Unless you didn't delete.

That's what I mean. Show less of this person. Gone through specifically and made sure to delete them. They will be on your phone somewhere. But I think in our dynamic, I think I don't really need to see a picture of your dick to be turned on. So I don't know that I asked for that many. Whereas I think the other way around I probably did send quite a lot. Gosh.

Yeah, I think, I think you have to just hope in the goodness of people. I think sending that text is, if a piece of mind, you can send the text. I actually don't think it's that crazy or awkward. I think it's a little bit awkward, but like, who cares? You're broken up. Well, especially if your families are closer, you do occasionally see each other. Yeah. I think it's not too weird to be like, I was thinking pranging. Yeah. And like, I am just like kind of aware of the fact that you do have some really explicit photos of me. And I obviously know you would never do anything with them and like, this is not, I'm not, this is not for me to, I'm not saying that. I know, because it also comes

across as like that you don't trust them at all. But like fair they are so like explicit. I wouldn't trust anyone with those. But where is he going to put them on his fucking boys WhatsApp group or like as a lot? Like I don't know. Boys are weird. I don't know. I don't trust I don't. Also I don't know how

it ended but sometimes if it ended badly and they've still got some spite in them. Yeah. Or he just still looks at them. Thinks of you sometimes. I think you can say I would obviously like I'm not going to like double check or I'm not going to ask you but I would just like it would give me some peace of mind if you would just delete them.

I just don't know that you can guarantee that that's happened. I do think for yourself. Yeah. If sending the text makes you feel good, then I don't think it's that crazy to send the text. Also, sometimes it's different. Like, you know, maybe he just hasn't been his phone. He's like, lo, she's never going to think about that.

If you, like, flag it. Yeah, true. Do you know what I mean? Then, like, you're a bad person for keeping them. Yeah. I would never. Text that. No.

I think if I was going to it, it would have been right at the start. Yeah, me too. But now I wouldn't, no. Three years later. I just had a bit of an explicit flashback to that video we made. Could you please make sure that's deleted? Imagine. I think because you still see each other.

If you were just like never going to see him ever again, I'd be like, yeah, maybe not. You have to just let it go. But I think if you're going to bump into each other every now and then, and you're all you're going to, also it's that horrible thing of like looking at that person and feeling pure panic. I mean, like, you know, more for him.

Like it's so bad if he ever did anything with them. That is like absolutely. wild behaviour, you would hope that that would never happen. But the problem is, if he did, even if he was sending them, like, you know, in his group chat or whatever, you would never know about that. You would never. Horrible. Basically, you actually just shouldn't send them.

No, no, I agree. That is the hard lesson to learn. I agree. And in a long-distance relationship, it's difficult. Because also at the time, you believe you're going to be together forever. So, of course, you trust them and you send whatever you send because, like, you don't really care. But maybe there's, I was right.

Maybe it's only send if they can then disappear. and no one owns them. Owns the IP. Yeah. Let us know what you do, babe. Okay, it's time for The Galley Gossip. The Galley Gossip. This is where Galley's sending gossip, light-tarch, light-hearted.

Yes. Nothing too serious, nothing too deep. Sometimes something that's, you know, spark something in the episode. You might think, oh, I've got got got got that, a bit of tea. Yes. We want to hear it. Okay, we've had a YouTube comment from a Galley who thinks we should start a new segment on the pod. This is what we need, creative input.

Exactly. This podcast is as much yours as it is ours. You guys are so funny. Sorry, too funny. Love the pod. The smiling face with three hearts. Cute. Low key think hinge prompt of the week would make such a good recurring galley gossip segment.

You could either share prompts that have genuinely worked to help the girls in need, skull face, or just the funniest and most unhinged ones people have come across. Would you be down? Hell to the fucking, yeah. We're down. If you have any hinge prompts

or you see any that you think are hilarious, please DM us at Leave a MessagePod. This is the part where I feel really sad because I'm left out because I would go home and I would sit on Hinge and I would mine for prompts. I would make, I would have one, my phone here and my laptop here and I would literally, every time I swipe, I'd be typing, typing, typing. Perfect. I can't do that. As, you know, the member of this team that can go on Hinge without being, you know, in, what's it called? Trouble? Pretty big trouble. What's it called when you're like working outside of a contract?

Breach. Breach. Right. You would be deeply in breach. Of my contract. If you had hinge on your phone. Or any other dating app for that? Do you know, honestly, obviously I'm not going to do this.

But I honestly do you think I could do it for research. I just put ugly pictures. And I would just use it purely for research. But then I think you might air then on like fraud or like catfishing. No, because I'm crossing everyone. I'm just looking at. I'll never match. I see.

I'll just look. Got it. Well, speaking of this, there's this new feature on Hinge. Has everyone seen this? Has everyone seen this? Oh, the signals. Signals. Don't.

I hate it. The hell. Oh, I like it. So Signals is basically this little like throbbing heart next to your name. It's not throbbing. Look at Marco. Oh, that is. I would call that pulsating, but yes.

That feels pedantic. I see that. It's throbbing. It's a throbbing. It's a throbbing. heart and it basically, you get a throbbing heart if you are engaging with Hinge thoughtfully. So if you're not just blindly swiping using it like Instagram, basically, and you're like messaging and you're, you know, replying to your messages, matches, whatever. Yeah, bad. Although really good

for all the wrongans that are on Hinge and like, you know, if you're like, some boys go on Hinge when they've got girlfriends, if your boyfriend has a throbbing heart, you're in trouble. But you wouldn't know that your boyfriend has a throbbing heart. You'd have someone else would have to match with your boyfriend and see them. Oh, and then they would have a throbbing heart. Your boyfriend's got a throbbing heart. See what I mean? Got it.

Sorry, and are they still doing roses? Because I know about roses. Yeah, of course they're doing roses. I would never give a rose though. But why? What is the etiquette on rose giving? Just don't do it, I guess. Yeah, it's embarrassing, cringe.

Yeah, desperate. I do it by accident sometimes. Yeah. Well, because basically, that is like me on fucking TikTok sending people. You always send people videos. Yeah. The waving emoji. Oh, my God, that kills me.

The other day, this family with like 40 million followers followed us. And for some reason, I managed to send them a wave. And I honestly thought, shoot me in face. That is so embarrassing. From Austin, Texas. And did they say anything? No, of course they didn't. It said sent.

And then it said red. And then that was it. Red. Red. You hate to see red. Red. Red. You were a hate to see red. Red. Red. Red. You were like 40 million. They might not have even seen it.

Red. Yeah. Wow. That's fascinating. Right. Okay. First person on Hinge, I think their prompts are pretty rubbish. This is the best one I can see. The key to my heart is fancy salt. Would have been better if they'd have written Molden salt. Then I might have got on board with it. Fancy salt is too generic. Sorry. I didn't realize we were salt shaming people now. Yeah. We're not. We're prompt shaming.

Prompt shaming. Dan shows thoughtful signals. Amen. Okay. Together we could split a bottle of wine and make fun of each other. Boring! I don't even know that makes sense. He has 6'4 though and he's got a mustache.

Next. Six four is not a redeeming feature. What a shit, what does he do for a job? Software engineer? Nope, not rich enough. Next. Okay, cross. Okay, Charlie.

This is what I like to see. Dating me is like neckache. What does that mean? He's tall. How tall is he, might you ask? Six-five. Six-nine. Yeah, I was like that.

With a prompt like that, you actually... Let me see a picture. I'm actually going to have to match with him. This is crazy. I need to see a picture. You should not go out with me if sub-58. I'm five-eight. Let me see.

All those prompts are about height. We get it, you tall. We get it your freakishly tall. But this five-nine is like a lifestyle choice. Six-nine is like a basketball player. I don't think, oh, he works for the NHS. He's a good person. Do you think he's a doctor?

Or a nurse. Slay? What? He could actually be in the office at the NHS and that's not such a flex. No. Six, nine, it is too tall. I think just match with him. Come on.

Dating me is like, should I just heart neckache? No, heart five, eight. How do you exit what you've done? Oh, fuck. Sorry, don't worry. Don't worry, don't worry. What are we, what am I writing? Nothing.

Nothing? I just think like. No, I think we need to be more creative. I think we need to say something. This is why you're not getting a boyfriend. Oh, yeah. that's why. Okay, why don't you say, you could just put, thank God, because I'm 5'8.

Thank God, I just... No, wait, you could say something like, this is like... Queuing for a roller coaster. Yes, yes, this is like queuing. Fantastic. For a roller coaster. X, this is like queuing for a roller coaster, X. You could put a lull.

Loll. X? No, X. If you're putting lull, don't put X. Loll X. Okay, sorry, my turn now. This is my friend. Shut up.

Oh my God. This is my friend. Shut up. Oh my God. Who is it? Are they coming to the party? Nobody can't if you match with him. If you like him.

I love seeing people we know on Hinge. That is honestly the funniest thing I've ever seen. All I ask is that you don't expect abs. Is it great? That's fantastic. Oh no. This is awful. Go on.

So what was it You don't like abs Abbs I do expect. Owl. Ali. I think that's the weaker option. Cool.

It's tricky. Two truths and a lie. I've driven the tube. Jared Letto has opened a bathroom door for me. That's true. I've eaten swan. I've eaten swan. You can't eat swan.

I think that's got to be the lie. That's, um, what's it called? Animal cruelty. Illegal. Yes. Yes. Fucking defamation to the queen. King.

What is that? King. Treachery. That is called... No. What do they call it? Trespassing. Trespassing.

Trespassing. Trespassing. Is when you get into someone's land. Yeah. The swans live on the king's land. No, it's not trespassing. It's... What do they call it

where they chop your head off in Game of Thrones for it? Against the king. Come on, guys. Treason! Treason! Thank you. It's fucking treason.

It's not treason, babe. You're not killing the king. You could say, Ali Mac said Gerard Leto open a door for you. Do I... Do I click this? Yeah, click that. Good.

Ali Mac says... You have to include Mac just in case he doesn't know. Yeah, Ali Mac says this is in fact true. Whoa! I can't add him to the group now, babe. Doing it now. I've just text for all. I can't believe it. Did he go to Newcastle?

Yeah. Tee. Well, there's another one there for G2. What was this? What was it? The Mighty Oak. Yeah. Part two where you can't live will be happening on the 3rd of October.

So if this boy... Guys, if you all know... knew around here you won't know about the Mighty Oak, but I basically went on two dates with one of Rory's friends. And I actually did really like the Mighty Oaks. I love him. No, no, I love him. But the Mighty Oak, I think maybe, like, I don't know, I think he maybe wasn't ready for something. Can I tell you how this came about? I was at a party with him and he was really pissed and he came up to me in like total sincerity and was like, your friend is so fit. And I was like, I know. Tell me something I don't know.

And he was like, well, you set me up. Also, this is so unlike him because he's actually really shy. I really fumbled it. I fumbled it because I felt like he wasn't ready for anything. No, but to be fair, he wasn't ready. He wasn't ready, but then because of that, I fumbled it. I think I could have been a bit more like, babe, do you know what it's giving?

It's giving, right person, wrong time. It's giving love of your life, husband. You met your husband by the time you were 27. didn't realize they were your husband until you were 30. The poor mighty oak listening to this. Imagine him. He would never listen to this. He would literally never fucking listen to him.

His sister does. Hi, Queen. Yeah, I fumbled it, basically. And now I'm going to see him on the 3rd of October. Oh my God, I can't wait to watch this. And I'm going to say, hey. And he has an RSVPed and if he says no, we will change the day. I'm not even fucking do it.
