Starting point is 00:00:00 Music Running recording. Wow. Laughing 3, 2, 1 and action. What you filming? I haven't stopped, so I haven't stopped working all day. I mean honestly.
Starting point is 00:00:26 She's held the iPhone for me and done a couple of videos and she thinks she's my in-school sazy. I'm a content creator, let's get on the old CV. You've helped me today, thank you. It's been good that. It's interesting doing those little social things. I really enjoy it. Yeah, you're good at them. Quick and easy.
Starting point is 00:00:45 But also, it has to be things that I'm into. Not being funny, you do see a lot of people do a lot of those and do you really like that? Yeah, but that's why, you can tell, can't you, if there's a natural flair. You can tell where some of them are just so... they pan reading from, like, scripted, because they don't have any, what's the word? Affiliation to the brand.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Yeah, it needs to be authentic, doesn't it? To the brand. Yeah, you need to be authentic. I've had a blow dry, so so is about the hair guys. That's all right though. Looks lovely. You said earlier it's giving Elvis vibes, which I think is true. It was more this front roller.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah. Oh. I like the hair colour. Thank you. What has it changed? Dunno, has it? I feel like it's a little bit lighter. No, it's like, a few people have said it's almost like a very natural balayage because
Starting point is 00:01:34 it's washed out, the extensions. Yeah, and I've put a bit of colour over it when I've done the top. Yeah, I had a toner in mine because it started going a bit orangey. Nice. I'm short. Yeah, you've got short hair. I'm short as hair now, of all of us. How are you finding it?
Starting point is 00:01:47 All right. Yeah? Oh, Britain did make her impulse cut hair. No, it's fine. It's better. No, yeah, it was earlier. I said to Elle's, I'm having my hair done. She was there.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Because she wanted to think about it for like three weeks. Just do it. If you want to do it, do it. Hairdressers there, bosh. Yeah, she just made me cut it. Well, that's fair enough. It took about three cuts to get it right. Poor Becky.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Why is it like fog? Pardon? Foggy. Is it? Foggy. It's a clear day, no fog out there at the moment. I know, the sun's come out and we're in here. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Well there we go. All the best. I hope everybody is feeling good on this Monday morning. I hope everyone had a lovely Father's Day. And also for people that find Father's Day difficult, I hope you're all all right. Bit of a mixed bag for me, really. We went for a really lovely meal
Starting point is 00:02:36 at the Dog and Pickle in Ormengard. I mean, you haven't been yet. No, but I will, will have gone. Actually, that's lovely. You haven't been. No, I've been there before. It's cracking. I'm looking forward to it. So we are going for a lovely meal. Oh, you fucked it.
Starting point is 00:02:50 I was trying to just do it as if it was sort of after the event. Do you know what? Jack's asked me, mum, a few people have said, oh, what's your plans for the weekend? I'm like, nothing, lovely, really chilled one. And then I'm like, oh, it's Father's Day and we're out Saturday and Sunday. What are you going Saturday? We're out with Jack Father's Day and we're out Saturday and Sunday. Where are you going Saturday? We're out with Jack's family and then we're out Sunday just us. Oh, you love it.
Starting point is 00:03:10 But yeah, no, you know, my dates are a bit all over the place at the moment. I can't get my weekends right. I sort of know what you mean. I think we have a lot of bank holidays, that's why, in May and stuff, and I just think it makes us all discombobulated. Yeah, it's just, yeah, life.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah, a bit bizarre. Yeah, I'm the same. I'm like, I said it at school. I said, oh, next week's sports day. They're like, no, it's the week after. Yeah, I feel a bit. What's this weekend? And next weekend's out.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I think that's because all the weekends are quite busy. Yeah. It's just trying to factor in what's happening when. No, I know. It is. It's all very busy. All very busy. Thank you for all of your messages.
Starting point is 00:03:43 From the last Nats and Eases. We have had so many messages from people talking about the bra washing. Who knew? Because people are really happy that we've been honest about it. And I can't believe how many people are in agreement with us. A lot of people don't wash their bras. Well done guys. Crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:01 We used to burn them and now we don't wash them. That's true. Yeah, nice. We're done guys. We used to burn them and now we don't wash them. That's true. Yeah, nice. Good. And we had a message about, a lot of messages about the particular bra that I was talking about. Yeah, so someone, I've got the name on here, what a shock. Oh, I had Sam. She said, I bought one because of all the positive reviews and honestly it has to be the most uncomfortable bra I ever had. Isn't it funny? Just shows
Starting point is 00:04:25 we're all different. And I replied and said, well you can blame Elia, nothing to do with me. And she said no to be fair, I had it before the recommend so it wasn't her fault. But if she really loves it, she can have mine, it's leopard print. What size there? No, but then so many message saying, I know without you even showing us, I know exactly the bra you're talking about. Yeah, absolutely. It is a good one.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I don't think you can beat M&S underwear. No. At the moment, bit of a shocker. Go on. Because I am, a bra is made next week and I'm looking for a strapless bra and every time I go in they don't really have many because they've not got a lot coming in, which is a real shame. Oh, I see. All because of the old issue.
Starting point is 00:05:04 So I've bought another one today. Yep. And hoping that's gonna be all right. Strapless bra, awful. Awful. But it's needed, remember. But yeah, next week, Cornwall. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:05:16 First time leaving the baby. Do you remember we were talking about that ages ago, because somebody messaged in to say, I'm leaving the baby. That's right. How are you feeling about it? Yeah, all right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:26 He's going to be at home with mum. So I feel like even him being in his own space is, and everything's there. I'm looking forward to it. Love a wedding. You're going to have a lovely time. And have you been to Cornwall before? And I've never been to Cornwall.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I'm so excited. Not that I'm going to see much of it, unfortunately, because we are just going you know wedding, pre-wedding and then coming home but hopefully the weather will be like this and yeah I'm really looking forward to it. You can have a little glance past um have a little look at Stonehenge en route. Yeah Jack was saying about that actually. I'm fucking frills. Yeah but you've got to see. It's amazing. What are you talking about? Honestly, she's...
Starting point is 00:06:07 It's a wonder of the world. Is it? Eeyore? It's not a wonder of the world. It's not a wonder of the world. A wonder? It's definitely something. It's definitely not a wonder of the world when you're talking like Chichen Itza and... And the freaking Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge. Chichen Itza, the freaking Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, I mean.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Chichen Itza, one to come out with. That's good. And it's just a historical landmark. It's a historical landmark. A wonder of the world. Well, it is a wondrous thing. Because how did they get there? How did they get there? Can you name the wonders of the world?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Because I could be, I'm really good at this. Seven Wonders. Right. I think there's, I think there's eight, but officially seven. The thing in Rio. Yes. The thing. Oh yes, Rio de Janeiro.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Yeah, what's it called? No. Oh, no? Niagara Falls? No. Oh, Victoria Falls. No. The pyramids anyway, we know that.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Yeah, we know the pyramids. I think this is- The Great Wall of China. This isn't true. Pyramids, Great Wall of China. This isn't true. Pyramids, Great Wall of China. What's it called? I know what you mean. Christ the Redeemer.
Starting point is 00:07:09 The Great Wall of China. The pyramids. Not on here, but I think they were classed as the 8th. The pyramids of Giza. Oh, you all have the Giza. Chichen Itza, as I said. What is Chichen Itza? Mexico, honey.
Starting point is 00:07:28 No, I know, but what is it? It looks like a pyramid kind of thing. We were going to go there, but it's so long from Cancun. And then I'm not sure about these other four. There's got to be a waterfall. I'm sure there was. I'm sure there was a waterfall. Give us a clue.
Starting point is 00:07:44 You eat spaghetti in this country? Oh Rome? What? The Colosseum. Yeah. Eiffel Tower? Oh what's the... Oh, Statue of Liberty? No. The hanging gardens of Babylon. Well that's not on here but yes I thought the hanging gardens of Babylon was. No I think they're changing it all up. There are original ones. This is the Taj Mahal, yeah, Machu Picchu, and Petra in Jordan. I saw something on TikTok the other day, it really made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I'm really obsessed with TikTok at the moment. And it was something about the, what are they called? This ain't wrong with me, I've got- Yeah, we know that. Go on, my memory's really Yeah, we know that. Go on. My memory's really bad. Stop doing that.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Sorry, the wonders of the UK. So it was like the angel of the north. Yes. Yeah. Probably Stonehenge. Yes. But then this guy was saying things like. Being outside.
Starting point is 00:08:39 No, being him. Oh yeah. Oh. Absolutely. Did you see the video? It's probably from TikTok so you might have seen it but it was on Instagram. You know where they repost it because I don't really do TikTok. I can't get my head around it.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And he was saying if Jesus had died now, it was so good. So he was like... I think I've heard of this. He was like, oh, oh, he's died, he's died. They've just put something up on Twitter that he's died. And then he's like, fuck, he's died, he's died. They've just put something up on Twitter that he's died. And then he's like, fuck, he's rose again. Have a look at the, and it's like the whole story. But down on Instagram and Twitter.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Enya would be right on it. I'm right on that. It was really, really good. The first one, that one with the printout. Talking of death, Brian Wilson. Oh, I know. What an amazing man. Beach Boys.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Incredible. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, absolutely incredible. Pet Sessions and yeah, he was. Bless him. Yeah, groundbreaking. Yeah, amazing. Love the Beach Boys.
Starting point is 00:09:30 He was 82, so. Yeah, I know, he's not that old though. Just a really quick one that I watched, cause I now watch Afterlife to Go to Bed, which is just wild for the old brain. Yeah. But there's an episode where they're in the office. Yes. And you know, they're going to the review that night. Yes. And there's an episode where they're in the office. Yes. You know, they're going to the
Starting point is 00:09:45 review that night. Yes. And there's an old guy that comes in. He's like, do you want to come to the review? What's the review? The show that you know, that awful show. Oh, yes. Who's the guy? Is it a tall guy? Old guy. Yes, very tall. He is white. Yeah. But sort of sort of baldish. What do you mean, who is he? He's sort of balding, but got the hair. Who is he? He's done a lot of stuff. He's done loads and loads of stuff. You'd have to look it up on IMDB.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Just check it out. Oh, really? I was thinking of before. But I know exactly who you mean. I can picture him. He's an amazing character actor. That's a real shame that you... I thought you'd have told me that.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Let me see. I'm not very good with actors' names. I'm terrible. That's so thought you'd have told me that. I'm not very good with actors' names, I'm terrible. That's so annoying. But have a little look. And also just on that, what did Ricky say about the book? Oh, I haven't heard from him. Think it got lost in the post.
Starting point is 00:10:36 No, he's a very busy man. Like my deliveries. I hold hope. Do you? Yeah. Perfect. It's been a while. It has, but he's busy and he's been doing a Hollywood bowl and give the guy a break.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Yeah. It's true. I can't write Ricky Gervais' afterlife old man in the office because that's like, whoa, what are we, afterlife at the office? Yeah, that's true. Maybe do it later. No, I need to know. GPT.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Right. I'm going to play a couple of bra voice notes because I feel like they need to be said. Hi, Nat. Absolutely love the latest Nat's Nieces episode, You Three Just Cracked Me Up. And thank you for your honesty about bras because a lot of people just lie about that kind of thing. For me, on a Monday night, which is like my Friday
Starting point is 00:11:25 night when I get home from work, that's when I take my bra off and shove it in the washing basket. And that is my weekly reminder that my bra needs to be washed and not to be minging. And then the only other thing I thought about was for the books to read. Please have a look at Kristin Hannah. Her books are amazing, especially The Women or The Nightingale. Definitely worth a read and I think all your listeners will love it. Thanks for another great pod. Catch up next time. Oh thank you. That's lovely. We've had loads of book recos. We have. And the books have gone down well. So what we're going to do, we're going to start it next week. We are going to put up three books which we've had recommended and I'm going to do a little poll on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:12:13 We'll find the right book with the highest number of people that want to read it and then we'll have a month to read it. I'll tell everyone what we're reading if you want to join in and then we can read it. But no pressure because I'm too busy. I can't have a pressure of reading a book in a week. Do you know what I mean? Sorry, what's the purpose? What are we going to then do? Talk about it. Talk about it. Say if we enjoyed it. Just give us some content from the pod. But you can't really talk about it because you don't want to give anything away.
Starting point is 00:12:39 No, because whoever's doing it will follow it with us and we'll have finished the book within a month. We're going to be reading book club. So then we'll have... I understand. Do you see what I mean? And then you'll have... I don't sure I love that. Reading book club.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Why? Because when we were in Italy once, Maria just had a book and every time we were like, oh, where's Maria? Let's see if she wants to go somewhere, do something. She was reading her books. He used to say, reading book club. He loved it. Bless him. Maria's in the reading book books. He used to say, reading book club. Oh, bless him. Maria's in the reading book club.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Finally, you're in it now, girl. So, no, that'll be really nice. That's a lot of commitment. I'll do my very best. No, and I'm going to do my best, but everyone will do really, really well, probably. Please, can you pick a good one, guys? No, I think it'll be a really, really good thing. We can just have a go and see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:13:21 But I'm sure all our listeners will let us know their opinions and we can just have a little 10-minute slot on how the book has gone and our opinion on it. It's a great idea. I'm up for it. Fantastic. Guess what I did? What did you do? After our bra talk. Yes. Guess what I did? Wash a bra? No. I did yesterday. I actually just bought some new ones instead. Ah okay. Primal ones, they're cheap in there. And no, what did I do at night? Hello, Ellie, are you in the room? I'm trying to find this guy. Did you take your bra off to go to sleep? Yes, she texted us. I'm taking
Starting point is 00:13:57 my bra off. Text you, actually. Oh, did you? Yeah, I was wearing your nightie. Oh, what one? The Liverpool bra. Oh, lovely. And my bra? No, I'll be able to sleep in that. It's a hammock. Did you feel better? I said it was sensational. Wow. Told you.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah, but I can't do that all the time. I mean, I've never heard these things. It can't be good for you, can it? Well, interesting you say that. Have a listen to these. Hi, Nat. Hope you're well. Have a listen to these. Hi Nat, hope you're well. It's Hayley from Derby. I've just been telling my friend about the pod that you did where you talked about the bras. And my friend, she seems to think that we're like best mates and talk on a one-to-one basis, which always makes me smile.
Starting point is 00:14:40 But she sent me this really passionate voice note about you sleeping in bras which I'm going to forward to you now. Now I love this I love the conversation between her and her friend about me but ever listen to this this is funny. About me! It's all about me! Why this is damaging her! This is damaging!
Starting point is 00:15:01 No she can't speak in it! Can you please text to tell her that this is not good for breast tissue and the surrounding area if she sleeps? She needs to get one of their mac and bras if she needs to sleep here, sleep in something. They're designed for sleeping. Oh, you need to tell her to look after her boob health. I love the fact she cares so much. That's why I think the ones I wear are okay.
Starting point is 00:15:29 The macrum, and they are because they've got no wire or anything. Thank you. They're fine. Thank you. They're okay. But I really love that. Just don't wear a bra. Thank you so much for that message.
Starting point is 00:15:38 It really cheered me up and I just love the banter between two people about it. Cute. So, so nice. I've just got to tell you something guys. Go on. Auntie Linnie. Yes. Is actually moaning that it's too hot. No way. She sat in the shade. I'm telling you now. In the shade. You've never heard anything like it in your life. Unbelievable. That is incredible. That is wild. Wild. Peter Eggen. Oh, okay. Yeah. Let me see. Him. Yes. Amazing. Oh, my goodness. That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:10 That was boring. You don't know how hard that was to find it. Well done, though. But I don't know, chat GPT. Told you. Honestly, that thing is sensational. I'm listening to a lot of stuff about all that stuff. It's not good.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Stuff about that stuff. Who needs GPT? Do you know what No, I think you- It is. Who needs Jeopardy? Do you know what I mean? When you can't speak. I think- No, it's scary. No, you say that.
Starting point is 00:16:32 If it's used in the right way, it's fantastic. It was in the Bean movie. There you go. There we go. No, no, it is fantastic. If you know how to use it, coming from someone who's a technophobe, I've been reading up on it genuinely. I've been having a look and yes, it can be dangerous or people are cheating, but all it should do is enhance stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Oh, absolutely. If you know how to use it, enhance it. Yeah, but it's not going to, is it? It's like anything in life. What do you mean? People don't, people are not going to be able to string a sentence. But they can't anyway because of these things. Yeah, it's true. So don't worry about Jack GPT. Worry about that. Don't you want to say Jack GBT? What's the P?
Starting point is 00:17:15 It is P, but I always want to say B. I don't know. I say Jack TB2. That's a bit really good. No, it's OK. Let's see. I do get it. I understand. However, I think in some cases it's okay. Let's see. I do get it. I understand. However, I think in some cases, it's very helpful. Like when Don was running the marathon. Yeah, we're still going on about that. And I needed to know how to get to one mile to another to make sure and it worked all out for me. Google's also. No, Maria. No, because it told me what Myle Donne would be there based on what he's running. I get it.
Starting point is 00:17:47 What time he would... I know, it's just laziness. It's just us. Okay, well next time I need that, I will ask you to work that all out. Yeah. Well not a year ago. We would have done. Two years ago, people were doing that.
Starting point is 00:17:57 I know, but things move on. Okay. It's not the kind of world I want to live in. That's all I'm saying. You're talking rubbish. Anyway, I've got a confession to make. It's not the kind of world I want to live in, that's all I'm saying. You're talking rubbish. Anyway, I've got confession to make. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:18:13 What is it? I've gone back to the dark side. What do you mean? I've fucking gone back to Lerpac. Oh my god. Oh yeah, I've gone way back to Lerpac. I can't do it. Everything else is awful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:26 It is. Six quid for a massive tub in Asda. Well listen, I've gone no Lerpac. Sorry, she's... Got Veggerol in it. Is there a Lerpac in your thing? No, that's there. It's just an old one.
Starting point is 00:18:37 No, it is, it's just there. Just in case. No, no, it's just mine. Mine, solid, salted, cooked butter in my butter dish. No, no. I can't have a butter dish out. I've got enough stuff out on the side. butter in my butter dish. No. I can't have a butter dish out. I've got enough stuff out on the side.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I'm using butter, full fat. No, I don't. Do you know what? I don't even regret it. No, I'd rather be using that. Butter. Butter fruit. It's got a lot of oils in it.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It's not good, Le Pec. But you can't have it in the fridge. It's like a brick. No, I have it on the side. I can't have things on the side. Absolutely not. It is annoying. Well I'm just saying but yeah I understand going back to it over all the other ones. Yeah. Absolutely. How much was it? Six pounds something.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Massive one though. On offer. I don't know it was asda. Also mince meat. Yep. It was like eight pounds something. I'm confused. Was it a big one? Yeah. But do you know what's mad? It's because you know they've shrunk all the old packaging which is I think that's fantastic. Although it's great. I don't really struggle with that. Why? Because it all goes together. What do you mean? It's horrible. Let's shut that door because the rats are home.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Go on then. Is that normal? You can't break it up properly. It doesn't look really wiggly wormy anymore which I like. Oh I know what you mean. Do you know what I mean? Yes I do. You see I quite like to.
Starting point is 00:20:00 No. Let's just do that. No. But £8 something. Was it organic? No. No, it's a lot of money, isn't it? Well, I was walking around the meeks.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I thought I may be like, it is so expensive. It is. And then I was in Tesco's and I realized, you know the tuna I was moaning about, 10 pound, it's yellow fin. In olive oil? No. No, just fresh.
Starting point is 00:20:22 No, in a tin, fresh. And then there was just other tuna steaks that were like six pound. Fine. Yellow fin, that's why. Oh, just fresh. No, in a tin, fresh. And then there was just other tuna steaks, like six pound. Fine. Yeah, low-fin, that's why. Oh, sillies. I've got, I genuinely mean this today, you need to take some skate home with you. Again, yeah, like last time. But you keep forgetting.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Please, it's sat in there, I've got 150 skate wings. Yeah, I'll happily take some. But they're lovely. Will they fit in the freezer? I hope so. Just take a couple. I feel like you'd really love it. They need to be eaten.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I mean, every time I go to the shops, it's because I do scan and shop now. So I was like, yeah, this is good. I'm at 20 quid, perfect. 80 quid before I knew what I was doing. Yeah, it's crazy. It is mad. And what happened, what, like two bags?
Starting point is 00:21:03 Maybe even one. One bag. Two bags maybe. But I mean, that's loose, two bags. I probably could have squeezed it all in one. Yeah, it's crazy. And that was no alcohol. We cleaned out our stairs under the cupboard the other day.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Yes. And you have, we've got more bag for life. Oh, I'll die. Than Sainsbury's. Bag for lives. Bag for lives. How mad bag for life than Sainsbury's. Bag for lives. Bag for lives. How mad is it? Than Sainsbury's.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I've never, it makes me, that makes me really angry. Same. Because I'm really good at it. So now I need to just stick a couple in the car because there are so many of them. I've got like a massive bag in the shed with about hundreds in them. But I just have all mine in the back of the boot. Yeah, when you've got young children and prams and that. I know, prams and stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:49 But also, this is a funny one. The bag for life. There's some I just don't like. I don't get on with them. The fabrication. And then I see a new- Fabrication? Yeah, so I've got a couple from Tesco's. They're like-
Starting point is 00:22:06 Wove it, like a Hessian. No, I don't like the Hessian ones. Sorry. Sorry, Nat. You like the Hessian ones, don't you? Yeah, I really like the Hessian ones. But then I- me and Jack are like, oh, that's cute. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:18 We've Garfield on it. We like it. Oh, Peter Rabbit. Oh, that's cute. The kids will like that. What the fuck do they care? I'm so sorry. The best shopping bags that I've got and I've smashed it are those massive, beautiful, colourful from Yinki Elori,
Starting point is 00:22:32 the artist from M&S. They're massive. You can use them for weekend bags. They're like proper bags and I fit everything into them. I love them. But the whole thing is mad because it's like, oh it's Christmas I'm going to get some Christmas ones. I've got ones for autumn, I've got some for spring. No but I use my Christmas one, I go to Sainsbury's and I've got Christmas pudding on my bag.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Oh that's strange. Is it? Yeah. You're a little pudding. But I just, it's annoying isn't it? If it's the first one I grab I'll just get it. I've got all of my Christmas ones together. And I get, they're in the loft and then they come out Christmas. They're not in the loft. Some of them, no, I think they're in the cupboard downstairs. I only have one Christmas one I'm gonna need to purchase more.
Starting point is 00:23:12 30 Fridays until Christmas. I know, I know. And that leaves us on about, it's the longest day soon. Yeah, Ailey's wedding, 21st. 21st, Evie's birthday. There's a midsummer sort of festival around here soon, on that night I believe.
Starting point is 00:23:28 But I'm not here. I know. But also, I feel, even for someone who isn't a summer lover as you know, but I do feel quite broken over the fact that I don't feel I've sat in my garden yet. But it's not summer yet. No, no. Yeah, it's not actually summer yet. We've got July, we've got August. I know, I know. It's just because of that longest day of the year, it makes you think. Well, because then it's getting darker.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Yeah. But it is by like 30 seconds, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a lot. But I do, it's the light evenings for me. When those dark evenings come, I really don't like it. My favorite.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah, but. Yeah. Why? Just is. I do love it, but I don't love it. No, I... Yeah? Why? Just is? I do love it, but I don't love it. No, I get it. I understand it. Talking about shopping, I enjoyed this from you.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Can we talk about people that work in ASDA? They're not in uniform, but they're going around the fruit and veg and all the food and I don't know, they're scanning it, wherever they're taking all the stuff that you can't sell anymore in these trolley things. Looks like a customer. Trolley thing. But he's got a scanner and he's clearly working. But he's on the phone to, I don't know, a friend,
Starting point is 00:24:44 a relative and having a conversation, but is working. And I've seen that on multiple occasions. Very confused. And then someone asked them for something and it's like you're then interrupting their phone conversation, but they're working. We're being spooked. I'm beazled. I wanna talk about this. working. I'm really speechless. I'm bewildered.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I want to talk about this. Have you seen it? Yes. I've never seen it. So I feel like I've not noticed it. And now all of a sudden, all I see, but it was brought to my attention even more so because a guy asked me where the bags were to put the potatoes in. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I said, mate, I don't work here. But I'll help you. And then I said, why don't we ask this person? Oh, because she's on the phone. I said, no, I know't work here, but I'll help you. And then I said, why don't we ask this person? Oh, cause she's on the phone. And I said, no, I know, but she's not working. I've seen a lot of it. Really? Especially in supermarkets, people on the phone.
Starting point is 00:25:34 What? They're just on the phone. And it's an inconvenience if you ask them something. I mean, no, she was fine when- They should not be on the phone. Why are they on the phone? There should be no phones. It's unprofessional.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Cause part of me was like, but does it matter if they are, No, they should not be on the phone. Why are they on the phone? There should be no phones. It's unprofessional. Yeah. Because part of me was like, but does it matter if they are, if their job, they're sort of fulfilling their job and it doesn't mean you're part of, you know, serving customers. But they're not in uniform. So that's interesting. So are they, they're just doing, they're not really meant to be asked questions. They're just doing, they're not really meant to be asked questions. They're just doing... Maybe. Yeah, maybe we were being absolutely out of order and they're completely allowed to do that.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I'm sure they are allowed to do that. But then also, you don't, no matter, even if you're in an office and you're not on the phone, as in on the phone is a bit, you're typing stuff, you don't just sit on the phone having a full scale conversation. Well, you shouldn't, but unfortunately they're taking over our lives. I never did that. No, I mean, you can't. There's a lot of people that do. Lots of people in offices have problems with employees. No I get that. No I know. I've seen it in my own eyes. It's like there's a fine
Starting point is 00:26:35 line of treating people like they're at school or you've got to have the freedom. Yeah and you know picking up your phone and quickly responding to something. Yeah. So and I'll call you back in a minute. Well also I always think back to the times where a lot of people smoked and they'd have a cigarette break, they'd have 10 minutes. A lot of people don't smoke anymore, they might go for a vape. But that's the time to use your phone, no? When you're having that little break, if you have a cup of tea, five minutes. When you're at the desk doing something.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Again, I'm sorry, but I think, unfortunately, that's life as well. It depends where you're working. If you're customer- facing, I do feel like there should be an element. I mean, I remember when I worked at Marks's on the till. I mean, I think I might know it was in my locker upstairs. I might break. I'd go upstairs and then check my phone. I've never seen someone in M&S on the phone. No, no, no. Yes. So yeah, if anyone knows anything about that, what's the number? 07788 20 1919. Do you not know the number yet? No. 07788 20 1919. There you go. Lovely. We should learn that maybe. Yeah, no, you've nearly got it. You've nearly got it. Yeah, that is, that's pretty wild. Just intriguing. There's a pigeon on your...
Starting point is 00:27:46 Do you know what happened to me yesterday? So I've gone into the... I went to go into the kitchen to get something. A fucking pigeon was in the kitchen. No, it wasn't. I said, I put it in the family chat, Oh, has dad been cooking again? A pigeon potion. No, I nearly had a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:28:09 What did you do? I panicked, I just ran out and went to close the door and luckily it just flew out. Wow. Because what would I have done? I know, it's hard. That was like a... Do you remember we had a crow? No, how bad was that?
Starting point is 00:28:21 In the kitchen at mum's. No you didn't. No it was so burgled. I thought we were being burgled. We could hear rustling. We were getting ready to go out and it was really like rustling. I was like, Maria, no genuinely, someone is downstairs. So we're creeping down.
Starting point is 00:28:33 It sounded like someone was putting something in bags. We've like crept down. I think I was in a towel because I'd just got out of the shower. Looked, couldn't see anything, sort of got closer and there was a massive, a crow wall up, black bird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just going crazy. crazy, shitting everywhere, all up the walls, then it went into like the tower, you know, the conservatory bit that goes up. Oh my god it was horrendous. Did we get it out? Oh and then, and then it got stuck between the bi-fold door and the sofa, you know, that
Starting point is 00:28:59 gap, bless it, and it was stuck and then luckily I think it jumped up and then did we get a broom and try and usher it out? Oh it was horrendous. Talking of birds John. Genuinely in the mornings I'm really unhappy because when I wake up garden looks lovely I always look out the window right and you have little black birds or little bit whatever blue tits all different birds lovely. There is a group what are the massive black birds with the massive heads? They are disgusting.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Ravens. But are they ravens? No. No? Crows, crows. I don't know. I don't know if it is a crow. I need to look it up. They've got huge big heads as if they've got helmets on. Really?
Starting point is 00:29:38 They are ugly bastards and they're like, ooh. And even when I open the window and I'm like, go away, they literally just look at me. What, they're eating your, trying to eat your stuff? They're just out there and they're just really boisterous. But it means for me, I'm not seeing the little birds at the moment. I get so many of the little ones. I've got some. They're lovely. However, they are destroying the front of my house because they're nesting in my window.
Starting point is 00:29:59 House Martin? No, what's the, what are they called? The little cute ones? The little blue tits maybe? No, they said it the other day. Sparrows? Nope. I noticed that if it's not a house, Martin, there's Abbot.
Starting point is 00:30:10 They're all gorgeous and we've got a little robin that sits on the railway. We have so gorgeous, it's the same one every day and it just lives in the garden. Starlings. Starlings, yeah. But I have robins in my garden all the time and they sit on a particular bit of the fence all the time. Yeah, lovely. Well I just have one magpie running in my life.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Yeah, that magpie is aggravating at yours. No, it's everywhere all the time. Sore, four the other day. Right, never four. Right, bang. Four. Four for gold. No.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Four for a boy, isn't it? One for a boy. Two for a girl. Four for a boy. Four for a boy, innit? One for a boy. Two for a girl. Four for a boy. Four for a boy. Who's that then? Got anything to tell me? No, not me, babes.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Won't be long though, will it? I don't know. No, just enjoy it, don't worry about it. Maybe I'll have another one. ATV? I will. People like, I'm the best by the way. I was saying that. I was telling the girls
Starting point is 00:31:10 at the weekend because we had Ellie's hen. I was saying that her mum's like, oh I'm so sorry to hear that LOL. Oh no she always does that. Sorry he died. LOL. Rest in peace LOL. I'm like mum you can't say... Lots of love. She knows it is lots of love.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah, and I've done that before. No, I have. I always laugh out loud. This is the message, listen to this. Can I just say I absolutely love it when your nieces, Els Bells and Roro, say all the best. It makes me die. I do love it. All the best. Where does that come from?
Starting point is 00:31:46 Or written as ATB. ATB. Actually, the girls got me a little silly mug for my leaving thing and on the side was ATB. Yeah, look at you trying to claim it. I was just saying. They all say it now. I started it.
Starting point is 00:32:04 You did. No, basically it now. I started it. No, basically- You started it within our circle, for sure. So me and a couple of the girls, I know this sounds really fucking sad, man. Go on. We used to play Ludo online. Used to?
Starting point is 00:32:18 No, we don't anymore. Oh, okay. And, but when you could like put the voice on, so we'd have a chat and we'd play, and it would have like pre-written messages that you'd send. So it would be like, good game. And one of them was all the best. Don't eat me. Yeah, I think, yeah. And one of them was all the best. So then we started just saying that and now we say it and now everyone says it.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Don't you think it's weird how things catch on? Yeah, but Mrs. Hinch says it. I don't know. So that's why she does. Yeah, she does. I know people probably think, oh, they've got, but yeah, only because I remember that she used to say, oh, the best. It's like Alfie now goes, yeah, that's excellent. Yeah, that's because. Exactly how we say it.
Starting point is 00:32:56 That's excellent. It's excellent. When he said it, I just looked at him. He said, and I say, he said, you can't say my word. I'm like, no, you got that from us. It is funny how you do end up. As a family, we always pick up on things, don't we? Of course, of course you do.
Starting point is 00:33:04 It's who you mix with. Like you just said, you just said, why are you doing this? I'm like, I'm not doing it. I'm just saying, I'm not doing word. I'm like, no, you got that from us. It is funny how you do end up as a family. We always pick up on things, don't we? Of course you do. It's who you mix with. Like you just said, you just said wild. I say that all the time. Sophie says that though. Yeah, that's quite a new thing.
Starting point is 00:33:16 All right. So. No, I'm just saying, again, it's who you're spending time with. Absolutely. For Quentin. Absolutely. Let's play my favorite message of the week. This message is for the next time you do Nats. And he says, this is Jen based out of New Jersey, USA.
Starting point is 00:33:37 It's so good. Mob wife. Believe it or not, you guys definitely have a fucking fan base out here. So the reason why I wanted to reach out is I fucking love y'all. I think you guys are great. I listen to your podcast religiously, specifically love the one when you got your vices on. However, girls, babes, babes, babes, babes. As you know, the Tri, well, maybe you don't know, but the Tri-State area, which is New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, we are like the hub of the best Italian food outside,
Starting point is 00:34:11 and Sicilian, and Sicilian, outside of the respective countries. And babes, shit, people would lose their shit if somebody put some hardbo boiled eggs in the lasagna. They would say, discrecia. Other than that, you guys are fucking rock stars. Keep up the good work, love the podcast. If you ever find yourself on the East Coast
Starting point is 00:34:42 in the United States, don't come here now because clearly this country is a shithole. Take it for the best telling food you probably ever had outside of the respective countries. Keep on rocking, girls. What a message. What a day. I fucking love her. I love her. That is the best.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Can we go to New Jersey? Can you take her? Yeah, we need to go. We need to do a live show in New Jersey. 100%. With our one listener. No, I think what we should do though is I'm going to go back. I need to find that message in my things and I think we need to ring her.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And have a lovely chat with her. She's amazing. Because she's incredible. She said we've got a fan base. Yeah. That's really nice. Well, we can ring her. We can ask her about how many, what are the numbers? No, I'd like to understand how she found you, how she found this, what's the story.
Starting point is 00:35:29 I would love to know. And I do get the egg thing, it is fucking weird. I think it's only just because we've been brought up on it. But why, where, how? Well no, I think people do do it. But then when I've had Italian lasagna from other people, no egg. No. And minimal mince in it as well, pork mince as well. Always pork, pork and beef. Or just pork.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Our friend, our good friend, just did pork. As we're on the US of A, I have another message from Stacy from USA. Just listen to the pod where you were talking about the assembly. I love the show and I love your comments on the show because my son is autistic and has cerebral palsy, so neurodivergent. I'm so touched by the lovely comments you said about the people on the assembly. I'm happy to see people understanding. My son has not always
Starting point is 00:36:16 had understanding from people. When he was at school he was called weird and parents didn't want their kids to play with him. Fuck them. My son is 21 and absolutely fabulous and has found his people who accept him. Love the pod. Oh, that's so lovely. Amazing. Absolutely brilliant. I made my best friend Mel watch the assembly
Starting point is 00:36:33 for Saturday night. We watched all of them. I still need to watch. I can't believe you've not watched. You haven't watched? I haven't had time. I'm watching Love Island now. It's gonna take over my whole life.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I'm watching Love Island. How's that going? It's just an easy one to put on in the background. I'm watching Clarksons Farm at the moment. Oh, he's back. He's back. I've never watched it. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Wow. Couldn't get into it. It's fair enough. But I love it. Again, easy. Nice one to put on before bed. Chilled one. Yeah, lovely.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Better than after life. Yeah. Nothing's better than after life. No, but before bed when you're, you know, it's a bit much. I try not to watch TV in bed now. I don't put the telly on. I try not to. No pods. I get my book. My book, or my magazine or something. Oh, fucking, we're doing that soon, won't I?
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yep. I'll have to read the book. Certainly will. It'll be good for us, good for our health. 30, say 30 days, say it's a book with what 360 pages that's what? 30 pages a night? What you saying? No. You need chat GPT. Oh you mean 10 days yeah 15 pages itch ish. What are you talking about? I have no idea what's going on. 10 days 30 days. Yeah 30 days. Yeah so about so if it was 300 it would be 10, so about 12 pages a night. It's not hard.
Starting point is 00:37:47 We can do it. It'll be fine. We'll be able to. I'm reading BFG, not BFG, Roald Dahl to the kids, Trying a Chocolate Battery. It's a great book. Great book. Not a detail in them, is it there? Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Much more than the films. That's why you should always read the book. Did you see that Harry Potter, I know both of you aren't really fans of it, but they are doing a full new series. Oh wow. So each film, you know, each book is going to be eight or nine. Yeah, it's a series. Well, they need to have done something because it's sort of then just come to a bit of a standstill.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Yeah, and it's going to be really much more like the books, a lot more detail and stuff so I can't wait for that. Kids will love that. Well I would like you to read The Housemaid because she's making a film apparently. Oh okay. I'd rather read, I mean I don't watch films so yeah. No I know but I think it's always good if you've read a book and enjoyed it to then watch the film. Absolutely but the film's never as good. Alright guys I was just saying maybe we could sit and watch a film together, but don't worry about it. I can't ever imagine us sitting and watching a film. Oh no, because we wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:38:52 We'd be talking the whole time. We'd just talk and have fun. Talking of fun, and you know you were talking about Ludo. You two, I think I'm going to blow your brains. Oh god, what have you done now? Downloaded an app or something. I've treated myself to something. I was like, hold to blow your brains. Oh god, what's she done now? Downloaded an app or something? I've treated myself to something. Hold on, hold on. When you say treated, have you paid?
Starting point is 00:39:11 Yes. What do you mean? You don't pay for garden scapes. Oh I see, no I've paid for something. Is it an app? No. I have paid for something and I'm really excited about it. So you've bought a game? I have bought. Oh she I'm really excited about it. So you've bought a game? I have bought.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Oh she's bought like a console or something. Have you seen the retro console that holds all of the retro games on it? No but tell me more. I've bought it. What is it? You're not stealing it off me. What is it? A Nintendo?
Starting point is 00:39:39 It's like a... A mini grey Nintendo? What's that? It's not a Nintendo. It's just got everything on it. It looks that sort of shape. No, not for me. And it's got every, like, loads of games.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Like what? Like Tetris? No, yeah, but from Sega, from Nintendo, from... How big's the screen? I don't know, it's not here yet. How much is it? Is it one you plug in for the telly? No.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I don't think so. This sounds awful. I was really excited about it. No, because I've got that. Do you remember I bought the Sega one that had other games on it? I think it was about, I don't know, 120? Game? When are you going to play that? Well, I don't know, but I wanted one because I thought, is it good? I was just desperate to find Rick dangerous. Will it have those games on? Squeak and stuff, could it?
Starting point is 00:40:24 What's that? Why didn't you look before you bought it? The old Atari ST games. I don't know what that is. But could you tell me what it's called? Any sort of... Well, I'm fuming because... Go on. The... What do you want to call it? The one we've got... Not the DS, what's it called?
Starting point is 00:40:39 Switch. Switch. Switch 2's come out now. Oh, I know. What a piss take. I know, but the Switch one has been out for a Oh I know. What a piss take. I know but the Switch one has been out for a long time. Yeah, no, no. Yeah, Joni wants the Switch for her birthday. Oh, I bet. Doesn't she? She does. Alfie's only just had his. It's got his. Christmas. I can't start buying another one. No, I know, but she's also, I feel like that's such a waste
Starting point is 00:40:59 for the ones they've got. That's what I mean, exactly. They have had it. To be fair, that was Eliza's. Yeah, it was Eliza's. I've had it a long time. Yeah, it was Eliza's. She can't always just... I know... No, we used to get upgrades on the old computer all the time. Yeah, and she does enjoy it, doesn't she? She does, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:12 She really does. But I'd like to know what this is that you've bought, because I bet it's just a pile of shit. Yeah, but I bet the screen's like, oh, I can't. No, I'm thinking it's one that plugs into the telly. Well, let's see when it arrives. Mine is. Have you not got it in your orders or anything? I'm just looking, actually. I'm thinking it's one that plugs into the telly. Well, let's see when it arrives. Mine is. You've not got it in your orders or anything?
Starting point is 00:41:27 I'm just looking actually, I'm thinking. Oh, it's probably gone to another email address that she can't access. I mean, is it possible that it's just a big scam? Oh, talking about scams. No, it's not funny. No, because she has anything you say, she's got a whole story for it. That is wild. But what if it is a scam?
Starting point is 00:41:44 What do you mean? Because now, go on, tell whole story for it. That is wild. But what if it is a scam? What do you mean? Cause now, go on, tell your story cause you've been scammed. Honestly. It's not funny, have you been scammed? No, but I don't think you can't get the am. No, I've not got the am. It's just you, you're just chaotic.
Starting point is 00:41:57 What's the scam? And I told her when she bought it. Oh no. Go on, why don't you tell the story? Yeah, you tell it. I don't really know enough about it. Well no, I wanted to buy a little, Sorry guys.
Starting point is 00:42:09 A Wendy House, is that what you call them? A Wendy. A Wendy House. Why are they called Wendy Houses? Oh, Georgina, could you send us a message on why they're called Wendy Houses? We have a fact lady that does this stuff for us. We don't need to chat, GTP.

Agreed. You can wash them down. Yeah, anyway.
Starting point is 00:42:51 They get... Perfect. Anyway, I see this one, I was like, oh, that's beautiful. It's only like £50 something. I was like, eh? Lidl. Perfect. Ordered it.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I thought, let me do it on the credit card just in case. Yes. But it wasn't Lidl. Well, no, after I realised it wasn't Lidl. No, you didn't. You knew when you was buying it. Don't try it. Did I? Go on now. Because I clicked on the link. I think I purchased though. And I said it's like 350 quid. So I thought I've had an absolute touch here. Tracking come through, it was telling me from China, all the steps, every day I was checking I thought this is going to be an absolute touch. It got delivered apparently. No delivery.
Starting point is 00:43:40 But are you sure that hasn't then just been delivered elsewhere? Have you contacted the company and said it? Have they got back to you? Yep. What did they say? I will tell you. I will tell you what they said. It's really, really easy, isn't it, these days?
Starting point is 00:43:59 So much out there. Delivered where? Out for delivery where? Delivered where? I thought that's strange. I've looked, and nope, it's not there. Dear customer, we have checked
Starting point is 00:44:08 that your order status is delivered. We need to verify the order status with the logistics company. Please wait patiently for three to five working days. You can also go to your nearby post office to check your order to see if it has not been delivered to you. So I emailed back and said, don't
Starting point is 00:44:25 know what you're talking about and I got exactly the same message. Oh, you've had a stinker. So, thank the best of me. Lucky you did it on the credit card. Yeah, I've done the old application to Barclays today. Oh, for goodness sake. It's annoying though, isn't it? I just thought though, if that turned up, what a result.
Starting point is 00:44:43 No, but it's never going to turn up. Too good to be true. Gutted. Too good to be true guys. And I've got two chairs, new chairs coming my way. Oh lovely, that's good news. Will it be? Will it? Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Let's see, let's see. What else is going on girls? Just for, you know, convo, what's happening? You've got the wedding, What are you up to? Not much. No? Okay. Might be going away for the weekend. Yeah, my friend Mel was taking me away for the night. My friend? Yeah, I think we're going... Do you know where we're going? I think she loves Borm Dorset Way, doesn't she?
Starting point is 00:45:20 Oh yeah. So I think we might be doing a night there. Hopefully we can have a little mooch on the beach. Have a little chill time. I hope next weekend the sun's out. What is the sun saying? It's looking nice. Is it? Good. Like this? There's nothing worse, is there?
Starting point is 00:45:33 No, it'll be a shocker. Absolute disaster. Next week looks better. Oh good. Oh hopefully positive vibes. Oh lovely. I don't know. I actually don't know. I don't know where the days go. No, I agree. It's frightening. I don't know, I actually don't know, I don't know where the days go. No I agree.
Starting point is 00:45:45 It's frightening. I completely agree with you. I don't know, kids went back to school last week, they were knackered all back in the routine wasn't it? All the clubs, back to school. I'm knackered, don't worry about that. I feel tired at the moment, really tired. I've been, well drained, drained but I feel much better.
Starting point is 00:46:02 You seem better today. You had that stye thing on your eye didn't you? Yeah, it's still there a little bit. Did you get a cream for it? Yeah It's going down. That's just being run down isn't it? Yeah, it's fine. My neck? What's happened? Steroid cream. They've given me steroid cream. It's not going to do anything. I don't know what the point is. I mean, no, it's improved it. Yeah, no idea, but it's not good for you. Okay, fins the skin. I have to say.
Starting point is 00:46:29 That's what it is, but I've got a dermatologist. I've sent some photos off today. Well, that's good. That's incredible. Oh, I know, it's amazing. I can't believe it. No, it's brilliant, but you are right. You can't keep using a steroid cream.
Starting point is 00:46:39 No. I need to get to the bottom of what it is. No, of course, but you do what you need to do to get what's good. Of course. no, it was very, very bad. That was mad, wasn't it? Yeah. But I think, yeah, I think I'll be allergic or intolerant to something, won't I? I think so.
Starting point is 00:46:52 That'd be nice. I think going through the food groups will probably help you. I know it's not what we want to do, but it could be a dairy thing. Yeah, it'll be dairy, it'll be wheat, it'll be the obvious. I think so. I've been having an oat flat white. I'm really enjoying it. Lovely. I love an oat latte. No, it's quite creamy. It's lovely.
Starting point is 00:47:14 No, I'm going to do that thing. The creamer. Yes. You should try it. No, I'm not interested. Really, Elle? I really enjoy it. No, to be honest, at home I don't really have a coffee. Not that I've got out of the habit of waking up and making a hot drink. I just have my water, I'm not really-
Starting point is 00:47:33 Well, again, I would never have a cup of coffee first thing, but having the coffee with a creamer, it means I'm still, I'm doing me fast, aren't I? Yeah, I don't, very rare that I'll make myself a coffee. And if I do, I literally just have like an instant. We've got the coffee machine, I don't really. No, I don't. No, I know, yeah, I have an instant, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:54 No, it's all good. I do nothing, I've stopped taking my vitamins. She was like, where's your pill box? Yeah, where's the pill box? She said it's in the cupboard after all of that. Oh, by the way, another thing to have a go at you about. Oh, fantastic. The amount of messages I've had saying
Starting point is 00:48:06 we can't believe it wasn't a rubber ring, devastated. I've not had one message about that. Well, I have. But I don't understand. Everyone thought it was a rubber ring, Maria. But what's the difference? I did think it was, well, it's a Lilo. It's meant to be big.
Starting point is 00:48:20 You led us down a garden path. A massive Lilo. You've got to be able to lay on it. It's not going to be a small thing, is it? I said we wanted a rubber ring. We ended up with that. You didn't say that. You led people the wrong way. I think you should publicly apologise for it. That's true.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Very true. I'm sorry. But I definitely didn't say it was a rubber ring. No, I'm sure I didn't. What have you been doing? I've been really busy. The care project's going really well. As I say, looking forward to the weekend. Obviously this is going out on Monday,
Starting point is 00:48:57 but actually I've had a really nice few days of it at home, which I've desperately needed. So yeah, I shall be back to college this week which is excellent. Nice. Okay yeah so you're back on it. Yep back to work, back to college. Guys what about Chris Hughes and Jojo? No I can't. Sorry I just can't because we've said it a few times before recording and then we've never spoke about it. I am obsessed. Why? Because I find it so bizarre. They look like brother and sister.
Starting point is 00:49:28 They're together. I... Lovely. No, not lovely. I think it's amazing. Because they were just on national television, cuddling and all being very... Why is it not lovely?
Starting point is 00:49:39 Hold on, I'm confused. Because she was with someone. So, hold on, we've got two ends of the spectrum here. We have, yeah. Fine, okay. Why? Because you're saying it's lovely and you're not keen. Correct. on, we've got two ends of the spectrum here. Behave, yeah. Fine, okay. Why? Because you're saying it's lovely and you're not keen.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Correct. Well you think it's lovely. She's obsessed. I love them. No. I love them. I think if that was different circumstances people would be getting into one. So what they've done on national television when she had a girlfriend, sat at home watching
Starting point is 00:50:02 that every night. No. Her heart being broken. I'm not saying that is okay. But we've moved on from that. That was ages ago. No. They are so happy together.
Starting point is 00:50:16 How do you know? Because you can just tell by the... What? From social media? No, you can. You can tell. The way she speaks about him, the way he talks about... You can tell that it's just mad that these two human beings have found each other in
Starting point is 00:50:31 the weirdest of circumstances and it's like serendipity. But she could have been a bit more... But you could then say that about anything. Yeah, no, you could. I'm sorry, but you've got to have a bit of respect. Oh, I'm just saying... Look, I don't know the full thing, I don't know, but I think from what I've seen,
Starting point is 00:50:47 I think it's very disrespectful to- Just a very unlikely couple, isn't it? Very unlikely, yeah. Yeah, I'm just, I'm confused about the whole thing. No, that is fair enough. And I feel sad for her ex-girlfriend that was just sat there by herself watching it all. That isn't nice at all.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I also don't know who she is. Some dance, I don't know. Who? Jojo? Jojo Bose? Don't you remember Jojo's Bose? No, I don't. When Eliza was little, the great big Bose. No. She was on YouTube, she was like a major star at a very, very young age. And now she kind of dances, sings, drums, stuff like that. Multi-talented girl.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Do you know who I'm obsessive for? Go on. And it's a trio, which makes me really happy. The Banjo Brothers. Oh, they're lovely. What do you mean it's a trio that makes me happy? I think they're doing like a pod, but I see it on their clips on TikTok. Perrie.
Starting point is 00:51:37 They're all lovely. Ashley. Oh, sorry, right. They're all lovely. What's the other one? Jordan. Oh my God, they are hilarious. Oh, they are. Yeah, they're unbelievable. Maybe we could get them on, all three of them. Oh. What's that sit? Like a mashup. Yeah, a mashup.
Starting point is 00:51:53 But I think they're lovely. Excellent, really nice people. Really nice people. There's some lovely stuff at the moment going on. Lovely, Tom Groennen's got a pod, doesn't he? With Roman Kemp. Yes. Which is lovely. I like seeing Pete Wicks. He's got one in here about men. I just think, I know, I think it's so important. Just talking, isn't it? Tom and Pete's one was lovely.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Yeah. Really lovely. Really. And it's just nice to hear that side. I just think for men, I think it's good for men to talk. And I know Pete, you know, it is out there. Pete's had some good people on it. It is out there but it's still, men still don't talk enough so it's good seeing these young men. They don't and there's still that whole bravado of you have to be a certain way and like Pete was saying, what is a man? Everyone, Vicki Patterson did one with him the other day, she was talking about her dad and just yeah like people's, even when you ask people what their expectation is of a man yeah yeah yeah it's still quite old fashioned
Starting point is 00:52:49 isn't it? Old school. Yeah yeah definitely. And some men do think it's right to be that way and want to be that way but I think there's got to be that balance isn't there? Yeah very much so. And women are we have progressed so much and I think that's what it's about women have progressed and we are still pushing for's what it's about. Women have progressed and we are still pushing for women to progress. Yes. Yet men have maybe taken a bit of a step back. Yeah. So yeah, no, it's very interesting. Talking of Pete, have you seen all the TikToks and stuff where they wind him up? Oh, about the love island. Oh, the girls. Oh, just funny. I saw it on Insta. I love it. It's brilliant. He just reminds me of someone like... Just like him. Absolutely. I don't know. He's just
Starting point is 00:53:29 funny. He's a great guy, isn't he? He seems really good. Really good. Really nice. Your mum loves him as well. Oh, she's obsessed. I would really like... I need to read his book actually. I must say the messages about mum and what people say on the pod. So lovely. And obviously it's our mum, do you know what I mean? No one realises how much that means to us. So I did say thank you on our post. I saw, it was lovely. Thank you everyone.
Starting point is 00:53:52 People just cannot get over they want her secrets. Everyone thinks she looks faulty. No, she looks amazing. She does look incredible if you look. I was with a few people, you know, I'm mixing with a lot of people working and stuff and this is not being rude to anybody. Might sound rude but it's not meant to. But when they say to me, oh I'm 60 or I'm 61, just think of your mum, she does look...
Starting point is 00:54:12 No I know but that's like when I think of nanny. So young. When we think of nanny, right? Yeah. Yes. Nanny was always like a typical nanny. Yes. So she was young when she passed away.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Yeah, yeah. Two years older than... No, one year older than your mum. That's mental. No, how old was mum this year passed away. Yeah, yeah. Two years older than... No, one year older than your mum. That's mental. How old was mum this year? 62. Oh, sorry. I thought mum was 63. So was mum. Exactly 20 years apart. But that's mad because I just thought, oh yeah, it's nanny's old.
Starting point is 00:54:37 She was no age, but nanny did look like an older woman. Yeah, but I think a lot back then... Generations. Nans would look like nans. That's not the case now. No, and we're all getting younger. What are we going to look like? Robots?
Starting point is 00:54:50 Oh, it's my birthday. I can't wait for all my nice messages, everyone. No? All the best. No, don't be horrible. You've got a month to prepare. I've got to go, bitches. Right, listen, it's been absolutely joyful.
Starting point is 00:55:02 As usual. Has it? Thank you so much for listening. Hope you have a lovely week. I will speak to you on Thursday. Girls, I love you. Love you. Love you.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Love you all, thank you. Message in please, 0778 20 1919. They all mean so much. Please, New Jersey. Yeah. Could you message us again, because we love you. Yeah, say it's voice message only. Yeah.
