                                         a lot of technological difficulties.
                                         
                                         I've been in and out non-stop.

                                         He said we dragged some garlic dip into the taxi.
                                         
                                         I said, we certainly didn't. I don't do that with Joan. We definitely, definitely did do that, no less. He said, we dragged some garlic dip into the taxi. I said, we certainly didn't.
                                         
                                         I don't do that with Joan.
                                         
                                         We definitely, definitely did do that, for sure.
                                         
                                         I saw the two of you whore 16 battered Mars bars.

                                         I didn't know
                                         
    
                                         they were allowed
                                         
                                         to eat your face.
                                         
                                         I thought they just ate your ankles and shit.
                                         
                                         You look like you've just had a load of profilo.
                                         
                                         That's not profilo.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         Like, I just can't, I can't get my head.
                                         
                                         Like, I didn't, legally, I didn't know they were allowed to eat your face.
                                         
    
                                         I just see them on your forehead.
                                         
                                         That reminds me of when tea was out.
                                         
                                         Look at that, under my eye and all.
                                         
                                         Like, it's a disgrace.
                                         
                                         I'm going to sue someone.
                                         
                                         Polynucleosides, sue the mosquitoes.
                                         
                                         Go on.
                                         
                                         It's not even fish jizz or whatever we're always banging on about.
                                         
    
                                         It's just horse flies.
                                         
                                         T was like to me the other day, I think I told you this.
                                         
                                         I was like, T was like, why is it called a forehead?
                                         
                                         I was like, well, some people have ten heads.
                                         
                                         Apparently it is a sign of intelligence, you know that.
                                         
                                         To have a ten head.
                                         
                                         To have a large forehead, which makes sense if the brain is a little larger.
                                         
                                         My forehead is average size.
                                         
    
                                         I think you've quite an average size.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't.
                                         
                                         I have a large head though.
                                         
                                         You don't. Not notice't remark. I have a large head though. You don't,
                                         
                                         not noticeably large.
                                         
                                         Do you?
                                         
                                         No,
                                         
                                         it's not noticeably large,
                                         
    
                                         but when I go to purchase a hat,
                                         
                                         which I do regularly,
                                         
                                         I'm a size 58.
                                         
                                         I'm a large,
                                         
                                         a large or an extra large
                                         
                                         is what's comfortable for my head.
                                         
                                         Maybe we'd both have large heads,
                                         
                                         but maybe if we went to get a hat,
                                         
    
                                         if we removed our ego,
                                         
                                         we'd get a smaller hat.
                                         
                                         Maybe that's what it is, folks.
                                         
                                         Maybe it's just confidence.
                                         
                                         Spen's head fell off the other day
                                         
                                         because it was so heavy from his ego
                                         
                                         because his ego is so large.
                                         
                                         His head just clean fell off his body.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, but that's...
                                         
                                         He's a mental illness.
                                         
                                         We're just a Lulu.
                                         
                                         He's like, he's prescribed narcissists or something. I don't know. We're just
                                         
                                         kind of to Lulu, I think.
                                         
                                         No, I think he's just mad
                                         
                                         about himself.
                                         
                                         He is. I kind of admire it.
                                         
    
                                         I can't say I don't really. I think it's
                                         
                                         Sean, you should watch
                                         
                                         him in the mirror at home.
                                         
                                         He lifts up his top and he's literally like
                                         
                                         like nodding away to himself.
                                         
                                         He's like, yeah.
                                         
                                         I'm just waiting for him. He's just in front of
                                         
                                         the mirror just like nodding his head. I'm just waiting
                                         
    
                                         for him to get his dick out to start wanking
                                         
                                         on himself. Yeah.
                                         
                                         And just draws love you

                                         No wonder is Gigi only drowning herself
                                         
                                         in the vase. She's obviously got it from her dad.
                                         
                                         She doesn't even go for the vase anymore
                                         
                                         she's just full on

                                         now what's happened no it's not that bad so basically i was given as we remember we were
                                         
                                         saying like keep a couple of pots on the boil like don't invest everything in. Yeah. So in the interest of keeping going.
                                         
                                         Too many pots.
                                         
                                         Pots on the boil.
                                         
                                         I paid to boost myself on Hinge.
                                         
                                         I, that's, that's only, that's smart.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, sorry.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         I thought you were going to slag me for that.
                                         
                                         No, a hundred.
                                         
                                         I'd slag if you bought your own blue tick.
                                         
                                         But like boosting yourself on Hinge is completely acceptable.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I agree. bought your own blue tick but like boosting yourself on hinge is completely acceptable yeah i agree no my tick was thank god blessed onto me and you know what you know what else that's what you that's what you think you're like because we are so mad about ourselves that you
                                         
                                         decided you know i deserve a boost do you know i kick up the hole i was i was kind of okay but

                                         If the universe is going to boost me,
                                         
                                         I'll pay $15.99 to boost myself.

                                         I boosted myself
                                         
                                         I am a sponsored ad
                                         
                                         On Hinge
                                         
                                         Well I'm sorry
                                         
                                         If you think about it like this
                                         
                                         You've just raised yourself
                                         
    
                                         400% Because it was nothing Before the boosting We if you think about it like this you've just raised yourself 400
                                         
                                         because it was nothing before the boosting we have to look at it like that none of this is helpful
                                         
                                         i'm genuinely if anyone knows anyone working in hinge i honestly think there's something wrong
                                         
                                         with my app like i just feel and then turn your phone off and turn it back on. Okay? That will fix it.
                                         
                                         And you won't believe what will happen
                                         
                                         when you've done that.
                                         
                                         You're so right.
                                         
                                         But why didn't I think about that?
                                         
    
                                         I need to reboot myself.
                                         
                                         It works for everything.
                                         
                                         I can't, like, this just isn't,
                                         
                                         I know, like, ha haha, it's not right.
                                         
                                         Like it doesn't make, I paid to boost myself.

                                         I'm sorry.
                                         
                                         Can I be honest with you?

                                         Think about the man at the pub with the dog.
                                         
                                         You do better in actual real life.

                                         that my personality is not going to sell it for me.
                                         
                                         Is that what you're saying?

                                         and then everything will be okay.
                                         
                                         Do that and it will be fine.

                                         Hi, buddy.
                                         
                                         What are we, are we Bitcoin bros now?
                                         
                                         Are we frat brothers?
                                         
                                         So I know that we go on like, well, you were saying that we have big egos,
                                         
                                         but like I saw this headline about myself.
                                         
                                         Thank you, extra.
                                         
                                         We don't have big egos.
                                         
                                         We're just confident women.
                                         
    
                                         In certain areas and then lacking in confidence
                                         
                                         in other areas
                                         
                                         and I think
                                         
                                         fair play to us
                                         
                                         well exactly
                                         
                                         but we do have large heads
                                         
                                         but like
                                         
                                         I said in the podcast there
                                         
    
                                         the other day
                                         
                                         I was like oh everyone fancies me

                                         and then the headline is
                                         
                                         everybody fancies me
                                         
                                         Vogue Williams says she's on fire
                                         
                                         a string of men makes moves
                                         
                                         and they have put this picture up
                                         
    
                                         which looks like I have smelt

                                         of me, Joanne. You've already tried to make me feel better.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Okay, here's what I think.
                                         
                                         Everyone fancies me.
                                         
    
                                         Everyone fancies me is a very...
                                         
                                         William says men are all over.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Intentionally antagonistic headline
                                         
                                         to write about somebody in a book.
                                         
                                         Obviously it made me wet myself laughing,
                                         
                                         as you know, of course.
                                         
                                         You sent it to me and we laughed

                                         but the fact you don't actually look like that must be some reassurance to you
                                         
                                         thank god but I looked like that for a split moment for that picture sorry that's in me

                                         When I see terrible photos of myself online,
                                         
                                         I know that I actually look like that.
                                         
                                         So at least you have,

                                         If you put a pair of
                                         
                                         Snicker pants on a pigeon
                                         
    
                                         I'd ride it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I've seen that happen
                                         
                                         actually.
                                         
                                         With a donkey.
                                         
                                         And it looked unfair because there was a physical difference, but...
                                         
                                         And she also likes the way they move their head when they walk.
                                         
                                         She's into that.
                                         
    
                                         Then you're like, Joanne, they're not snicker pants.
                                         
                                         He's just tagged.
                                         
                                         He's just a tagged homing pigeon.
                                         
                                         They're like hard bastards.
                                         
                                         They're always robbing sandwiches out of the spars and all.
                                         
                                         I love them. I wouldn't fuck with a pigeon. That's like hard bastards. They're always robbing sandwiches out of the spars and all. I love them.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't fuck with a pigeon. That's seagulls.
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
    
                                         What are seagulls only pigeons on holidays?
                                         
                                         They're just
                                         
                                         pigeons at the seaside. They're just on their holidays.
                                         
                                         That's exactly it.
                                         
                                         They've had a wash. That's why they go white. Yeah. They've just got a spray tan. They're at the seaside. They're just on their holidays. That's exactly it. They've had a wash. That's why they go white.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         They've just got a spray tan.
                                         
                                         They're at the beach.
                                         
    
                                         I'm a walking red flag,
                                         
                                         burning garbage,
                                         
                                         pile of a mess at the moment.
                                         
                                         And I'm still turning up at his house
                                         
                                         every Friday for another dose
                                         
                                         of veiled insults.
                                         
                                         Oh no, digs.
                                         
                                         Followed by the saddest
                                         
    
                                         but most irresistible sex
                                         
                                         I've had in my life.

                                         i know the one time i didn't turn up he dragged some other poor oblivious soul into his disgusting
                                         
    
                                         little nest and purposely left all the evidence, used evidence,
                                         
                                         on his nightstand.
                                         
                                         If you go back to him,
                                         
                                         he won't even be trying to get you back.
                                         
                                         He'll just use the opportunity to make you feel
                                         
                                         like you're incapable of self-respect.
                                         
                                         This weekend, I'm going to be strong.
                                         
                                         I've arranged a night out with my mum,
                                         
    
                                         which is literally the saddest sentence I've ever written,
                                         
                                         but my mum is a laugh, to be fair. Instead of slinking into his bed, I've arranged a night out with my mum, which is literally the saddest sentence I've ever written, but my mum is a laugh, to be fair.
                                         
                                         Instead of slinking into his bed,
                                         
                                         I will literally be going home with my mum
                                         
                                         to sleep with her instead.
                                         
                                         Don't go back, girls.
                                         
                                         We left for a reason.
                                         
                                         I agree.
                                         
    
                                         Do you know what I think is so,
                                         
                                         it's such an important lesson that I had to learn?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Firstly, self-respect,
                                         
                                         because sometimes, I'm being honest,
                                         
                                         you hand over your entire, like every bit of validation you hand over everything to some fucking randomer and then
                                         
                                         he decides if you're good enough or not good enough and it's only when you're out of it you're
                                         
                                         like what was that what i was going to say is resilience resilience resilience resilience i
                                         
    
                                         to learn resilience you to learn self-. I to learn resilience. You to learn
                                         
                                         self-respect, you to learn resilience.
                                         
                                         This is going nowhere. You know that.
                                         
                                         No, but she does know that. At least she's trying
                                         
                                         to. She knows it. Yeah, and you're trying, but like
                                         
                                         even if you know it, if you go back by accident
                                         
                                         another time, don't be like, just keep trying
                                         
                                         to stay away because he's obviously not good.
                                         
    
                                         Don't, don't let yourself
                                         
                                         away with it. And I say this as someone
                                         
                                         who has humiliated themselves so many times. Don't let yourself, with it and I say this as someone who has humiliated themselves
                                         
                                         so many times
                                         
                                         don't let yourself
                                         
                                         stand up for yourself
                                         
                                         don't

                                         all about Safari.
                                         
                                         I'll be in Zanzibar.
                                         
                                         Oh, you're going to be
                                         
                                         in Zanz, are you?
                                         
                                         I call it Zanz
                                         
                                         because I've been there.
                                         
                                         Okay, sorry.
                                         
    
                                         I just didn't realise
                                         
                                         I was allowed
                                         
                                         to shorten things again.
                                         
                                         I didn't realise
                                         
                                         that was back on the agenda.
                                         
                                         It's not.
                                         
                                         But maybe after
                                         
                                         our two week holiday it might be.
                                         
    
                                         But enjoy your safari.
                                         
                                         I will, I can't wait.
