whatever your platform that you listen to us on is called or how they refer to it because i know we've got i don't know probably like 12 fans now yeah which is a lot it's overwhelming actually um i have to wear a disguise when i go out yeah it's going to my head a little bit. I know, you're being real mean these days. Okay, we got that out of the way though. Phew. How have you been? I've been good. Just living life, you know? Just, as you say, I'm having to wear sunglasses when I go out now. She's batting away the fans and the selfies. I can't deal with this life anymore.

Can't cope. Basically, what is that? I hate this saying, but I say it all the time. Cashing checks and breaking necks, which is actually really horrific. Yeah, that's quite dark actually i know and i mean we are cashing a lot of checks from doing this podcast let's just leave it at that let's just leave that one there so um what do you want to talk shit to me about kathy oh my god so so much and just thinking about our last few episodes I feel like we've promised so many things but I think a good place to start is the the amount of shit I got from

your friends about the fact that I love egg and crust sandwiches so much which I think is a good maybe we can continue that topic about food what do you like about the egg and crust sandwich Kate um I just think it's it's simple uh yep sure is fuck off it's good are you telling me you don't like it or you just think it's kind of boring? Why would you want egg in a sandwich with mayonnaise? I mean, egg salad is a very valid

sandwich. Yeah, if you have no teeth, you'll have dentures. Why would you just out me like that on our podcast i mean i like other ones too i just thought it's simple i it's doesn't taste like anything process yes it doesn't taste like anything i like very bland food even though i'm going to give you a lot of shit about england's bland food today um i and you know i guess i like eggs who doesn't like eggs i like eggs

i like eggs well okay if you had to pick a favor then which one would it be? Oh, it's really tough. I mean, are we talking just like gas station sandwiches? Yeah, we're keeping it focused on that for right now. But like there's a big selection. There is. I really like a toasted sandwich, but I didn't know whether that would count. Oh, well, I like a toasted sandwich too, but but we're gonna focus first on the gas station ones because i just like there's there's like salmon and cream cheese there's coronation chicken there's like 40 with bacon on it well i would say uh probably the best petrol station sandwich I've had

is the M&S club sandwich it's like two layers so you have a slice of bread and then like your chicken and your salad and then another slice of bread but they toast the bread

so it's slightly crispy and then the bacon layer and then another layer of bread and it's really really good i think you guys you invented that i've never heard of a club sandwich before what i thought it was an american thing i'm kidding Well, you know, I think that kind of goes to how impressive it is because club sandwiches can, I think, get kind of gross really quick if you don't do it right. And the fact that they can put it in a little box and put it in a gas station and it still tastes really good. Yeah. That's what impresses me. When you come over next, I gonna get you one uh on another

note i just found a tiny bit of a frownies on the bottom of my foot and how does the bottom of your foot look now though smooth as the baby's bottom no wrinkles that's good for those who don't know what frownies are, it is a product that you effectively put on your face. It's sticky at night. And it would help with basically not letting your face move so that wrinkles form. It's kind of like an alternative to Botox or other kind of cosmetic things to avoid wrinkles. And Gemma's found a new way to use it for those of you who – do you hate how the bottom of your feet look, Gemma? Do you know, I always have.

So that's why I use frownies. For your soles. I always have, so that's why I use frownies. For your souls. New ad sponsorship for us all. Oh, that's funny. How are those going for you? Okay, I was sort of a little bit shocked at how hard they go once they set. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

But I guess that's the whole point is they need to be hard so that I'm not frowning in my sleep like an angry little dreamer that I am. Some people have some really powerful muscles, so I think they got to make sure it works. Yeah, it was fine, but I did not wet it enough. So what you do is you wet it before you put it on, whack it on your forehead or wherever you're doing it. Sleep, obviously. Beat your butt, your heart. Yeah. Your knees. And then in the morning, you're meant to, like, wet it again so that it becomes loose and you can take it off and I did not wet it enough and literally pulled probably like two layers of my skin off and had a big red triangle in the middle

of my head so lesson learned well I'm hearing kind of the indirect benefit of exfoliation but also maybe just a quick eyebrow wax yeah Yeah, do not put them on your eyebrows. But if you know you've got a little bit of a unibrow, just... That's what Kate said. At least your unibrow is taken care of.

Thanks, mate. Come here, let me take care of yours. Oh, men. Sorry, we got sidetracked there so yeah going back to um food so okay next time i come over a club sandwich also uh silas was probably the only person who didn't give me shit instead sent me a picture and was like best egg and crust national trust gotta try it so i gotta i gotta try that um we'll just go on a sandwich tour can we that would be fun sandwiches sandwiches are life okay but got through that kate kate loves gas station sandwiches. Fine. Okay.

Kate loves egg. Okay. I like eggs. Just thinking about other food. Okay. Hit me. Why? I can feel the abuse coming.

Beans. You guys love beans. And not just like green beans you love baked beans baked beans in basically ketchup it's not tomato sauce don't be horrible to our beans breakfast on toast on toast with eggs yeah every single breakfast i go to that you know we go somewhere and stay the night and there's a breakfast thing the next day beans beans it's a really versatile food cake i mean you can have it with other foods you can have it alone on toast you can have it in a jacket potato you can have it i mean that's all i can think of at the moment but do you know what i also really like is just a bowl of chips or fries in your language covered in beans thick wed, but like the thick, wedgie fries, not like good, thin fries. Yeah, proper fries covered in beans.

And they go soggy and it's delicious. Oh, so like a weird, bland poutine with beans? Mm-hmm. And that's a shout out to Aussie Claire as well because we used to love that when we were in school and we still occasionally send pictures to each other of us eating chips and beans. So I think a part of the issue is we don't have we don't have beans like that, really.

Like, I think our baked beans are pretty. They're brown sugar. They're spicy. They have, you know, other things in it. And it's kind of meant to be a side at a barbecue, you know? Yeah. Yeah, your beans taste weird. Oh, you're not a fan, huh?

No, we did have them when we came over, but they're like, they have more of a barbecue-y taste to it than a baked bean taste. Yeah, it is a weird concept when you think about it, but it's just such an everyday national treasure. I just don't think they taste like anything either. What? think they taste like anything either. What? We also have like spaghetti hoops

in tomato sauce. Thoughts? Oh, you mean SpaghettiOs. Oh, well. You have them then. Yeah, so it's like Chef Boyardee's SpaghettiOs,

and it's basically like what kids eat at daycare. Yeah, primary school, kindergarten. I think I, as a kid, could get down with some SpaghettiOs, spaghetti hoops. Again, you guys just describe what it is, which I kind of love. Spaghetti hoops. Sounds actually like a toy.

You can get alphabet ones as well. Yeah, I think we just call those alphabets. So have you tried beans on toast? Mm-hmm. Both the authentic versions live in the UK. And then we sometimes can find the Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce here. But it's like $5 a can. Whoa.

Yeah. So it's a special5 a can. Whoa. Yeah. So it's a special treat. That's crazy. That I'm willing to let Sean have all of. So you're not a fan? I just... Maybe it's because it's just a lot for breakfast for me. Fair.

Yeah. I still don't get it, though. Okay, so I just kind of ranted about beans, which is a national treasure, and I offended many people, I think, so sorry. But what confounds you about something here? Biscuits. And for the UK listeners, American biscuits are not biscuits.

They're weird little things. I don't even know what they are. They're like fucking dumplings. And then you have it with a gravy, which is not a gravy. It's like porridge. One, why are they called biscuits? Two, why is it called a gravy? It's not either of those things.

And I think it's weird. So you pick something that I'm actually not a huge fan of, biscuits and gravy. Good. It's just dense and kind of, I don't know if this is the right word, stodgy. And usually the gravy has like sausage in it. But I think biscuits for us are equivalent to scones for you guys. Yeah, but they're a lot denser and stodgier yeah and we have scones too and they can be sweet and savory and all of that um but no our biscuits are definitely not your i mean those are cookies your biscuits are cookies yeah but cookies to us are like a

specific type of biscuit so it's like a cookie yeah so yeah it's a you know it's a it's a biscuit but with usually with chocolate chips in it that's what we call well and aren't they soft like you when you when you hear cookie you think of like I think what we would look as a chocolate chip cookie that's kind of chewy and soft because biscuits are a little bit crispier and often you guys have a tea or coffee right yeah but you can also get like hard cookies which are good dunkers I'm a big breakfast cookie person that is my breakfast I mean really it's just I have some with my coffee and I love a hobnob, a digestive. What else? What else is good? Biscoff.

Yeah, they're the best. They're the best donkers, I think. So, I mean, I feel like breakfast cookies have become a thing for me because of the biscuits in England and having them with tea and coffee. So that is probably why I will someday have diabetes but I it is interesting because you referenced chips earlier which are really fries but sort of not and biscuits but they're cookies versus dense rolls here dense rolls here yeah and what is confusing is obviously you call crisps chips and yeah the whole chips fries thing um that was a little confusing when i first went to america not confusing but so obviously you came and ordered food here at a restaurant and probably, depending on what you got, I was like, do you want fries with that?

And I think you knew what that meant. Yeah. Yeah, we're not complete idiots, Kate. Come on. But then you probably were like, what kind of fries are these? These are bullshit fries or it's not what I was expecting for a fry. You have McDonald's. You have other fast food places.

And like the fries that they serve there are – you guys know those as fries. Yeah. So it's not like – They're a fry. There's not some similarities there. But I do – going back to crisps, I love a good crisp. But can we talk about the flavors that you guys have the balls to make? Yes.

Like there's shrimp and cheese and ham. Wild bull. Yep. Which taste just as you would imagine. Salt and vinegar, which I love salt and vinegar chips. But like chicken soup for the soul. Just so many. Which I guess we have some weird ones too but like shrimp i think shrimp is the one that always do you guys also have just like cod flavor um

no they like our biggest brand walkers which is lays i think i think lays is the equivalent yeah um they bring out like random special edition ones and there was a fish and chips one was it good yeah it's all right i mean more tasted of vinegar to be honest sometimes it's just like it's a novelty right yeah they brought out ketchup flavored ones once they were weird we have ketchup flavored ones too i think people really like them do you guys have pickles like ketchup yeah we give well we have pickled onion pickled onion chip crisp just like not you don't have like dill pickle flavored no that's a shame they're so good i really okay you know i actually learned something really cool from you guys oh really

regards to crisps or chips um keeping them in the freezer to keep them fresh i was gonna maybe say that but i have gotten so many extreme reactions about that because my mic again our mic is super bored by our conversation uh but yeah it's really good when you put them in the freezer yeah really good try it when i first saw it i was like what the fuck are you doing why have you got crisps in your freezer and i tried one i was like oh i get it so this is one of those things i think it was the first episode when you asked me about things you did as a child or your family did as a child that you thought were normal that is it that is the thing one thing i thought that's something everybody did.

Oh, is it not? I thought it was just like an American thing. No. No. And I would go to friends' houses and they would just have, you know, they'd, you know, serve chips or whatever. And I'm like, I don't like these because they're not in the freezer. And people are like, what? Why do you keep it? And I think when people try it, when they've come over and seen it and they've tried it, they're kind of like, oh yeah, that's actually not bad. You know, it doesn't make it taste worse anyway, but I actually struggle to eat non-frozen chips

now. Yes. But it's legit. That's your preferred form of ice. I guess. Yeah. Yep. Put it in my beer, put it in my pot, put it in my water. Try it though. For those of you who are having a, I can see the faces you're making at home and you need to try it. Yeah. I would highly recommend actually. It's really good. And there's nothing worse than taking out your packet of crisps from the cupboard and they're all stale and soggy because you haven't wrapped up the packet well enough

that's no longer a problem do you not like stale crisps? is your bag of chips too warm? one thing you have to look out for though is if you don't seal it they will get freezer burn and that sucks oh yeah sick okay noted yeah write these tips down people and it'll blow your mind teaching someone new something new every day

teaching someone new something new every day oh yeah every day is a school day um another potato product that i enjoyed in america were tater tots yeah we don't really have those here and i i'd heard it loads on i guess probably american tv shows i like, what the fuck is a tater tot? Sounds really weird in a British accent. A tater tot. Sounds very, very posh when you say it. Tater tots. Tater tots. They're pretty good.

I'm just wondering why tater tots are featured so heavily in our TV. Yeah. What's your obsession with fucking tater tots? I don't know. Tater tots. I mean, I guess if you're watching TV with kids at school and they're in the cafeteria,

maybe like that's a really common school lunch thing. Yeah. Okay. But, uh, yeah, that's interesting. You'll have thing yeah okay but uh yeah that's interesting you'll have to if you can think of it you'll have to tell me maybe what shows I get that this was probably when you're a lot younger though yeah they're good though it probably was they are pretty yummy um also what I really loved is um when you get a grilled cheese a lot of places give you a little bowl of tomato soup to dip it in yeah that is amazing and I've started doing that at home

yeah I that's us I think something we kind of it's a staple in our house just for quick meals but uh tell me what you think about this, and you might have heard it, but chili, like American chili, which is kind of a – Beef and – I don't consider it a soup, but it kind of is. It's like, you know, ground beef, tomatoes, beans, other things. People put a lot of different stuff in it. Yeah.

And a cinnamon roll. You what? stuff in it. And a cinnamon roll. You want. This is like, I think, a pretty Midwestern thing. But for school lunches, we used to get a bowl of chili and a cinnamon roll. And like some people don't dip them sometimes your face right now. I'm going to describe your face. Horror. Confusion. A little bit of fear, maybe. Some intrigue. That's all the emotions I'm feeling right now. Fuck.

People like to dip it though. A cinnamon roll. Yep. You have a pastry, icing, cinnamon, sugar. And that was a... And a spicy chili. Spicy chili spicy i mean we're in the midwest i mean when we have chili it's it's relatively i mean when i make chili it's really spicy i bet your chili isn't all that spicy jemma um i think you'll find it is actually how come you haven't made me a chili yet?

Are we even friends? I don't know. Why haven't you eaten my chili yet? That sounds like a euphemism. Well, next time invite me to and maybe I will. I'll take a little find. I'll make you a fucking chili taco. I actually, I like mine spicy. And i think the idea is savory and sweet maybe which

is something that i think maybe you guys don't do a lot of um no i think we we do well it makes my husband really uncomfortable like so yeah i don't like it like this is you know it's a controversial topic but pizza pizza on pineapple nope pineapple on pizza yeah wrong actually I'm pretty middle of the road on that and I know that's pretty uncommon too because I think people either really love it or hate it um I don't mind but it's not my preferred what I do like is pepperoni and hot honey. That is phenomenal. What? I know, I'm blowing your mind right now.

I've never even heard of that. All right, add it to the list. God. Cinnamon rolls and chili. Yeah, that is something that I think has, I've seen articles about this just in like kind of big media sources that are like, did you guys know that people in the Midwest are eating cinnamon rolls with their chili? And it's just like a thing. I will say I haven't had it since I was in school though. Okay, good.

Never eat it again. It's disgusting. Okay. Okay. Okay, so it sounds like you would never try chili and cinnamon roll then. Fair? Yeah, that is fair. I don't really like cinnamon rolls as it is okay that's reasonable

the whole idea sounds gross to me darling i'm gonna read you a couple other types of foods, and then I want you to try to guess what it is and tell me whether you'd eat it, okay? Okay. Shit on a shingle. Shit on a shingle. Or poop on a shingle if, you know, you're delicate.

I'm going to guess sausage on a plateingle if you know you're delicate i'm gonna guess sausage on a plate tell me why because that's the first image that came to my head when you said shit on a shingle um so literally just a sausage link on a plate like you know when you go to i don't know if they do it in America but here people love putting food on bits of slate slate like yeah like you know like roof slate like slate tiles oh okay yeah it's a thing people think it's hipster oh oh just like a style of presentation. Got it. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so I'm guessing that's wrong. Correct. Okay, second guess is a chocolate bar.

I'm just thinking of things that look like shit. Well, I think you're on the right track because I think it's called this because it looks like shit. Oh, okay. Maybe not. I have no idea. Meatloaf. Getting warmer. It's basically bread, chipped beef or dried beef slices, and gravy.

or dried beef slices and gravy. And it's just like, it's kind of like beans on toast, but, and then like biscuits and gravy combined. Like beans on toast, but looks like shit. Yeah. I don't think I can share my screen this way, but I can show you a picture if you give me a second. Yeah, text it.

I'm just going to hold it up to the camera. Oh, okay, fine. Shit on that shit. So just me describing that to you, is that something you think you would eat? Yeah, I'd probably eat it. Depends how much it looks like shit, to be honest, Kate. So I think people also call it creamed chipped beef on toast but as you can see it's also known as oh that looks rank that looks like someone's just throwing up on a bit of toast it does doesn't it yeah no i wouldn't eat that having seen it so it's considered why uh

white gravy oh yeah you're stupid white gravy it's not gravy i white gravy. Oh yeah. You're stupid. White gravy. It's not gravy. I can't answer. Cream sauce. Yeah. I don't disagree with you to be honest. All it is is just like white flour and butter. It doesn't have like a meat base to it to make it brown, I guess.

That's actually called a roux. Yeah. I think that's what it is, but people will add sausage or something to it. So apparently it's a southern comfort food and also considered a good way to start the day yep good way to start the day shit on a shingle uh i just want to refer you back to beans on toast though okay yeah fair point okay next one um rocky mountain oysters oh christ um god i don't even know where to begin with that one um i'm thinking of like rocky road but made of fish. Final answer?

Yeah. Okay. Am I right? No. Oh. You're going to be horrified, I think. Oh, no. So as you know, oysters come from the sea, right?

But with the Rocky Mountain in front of it and no sea, sea leads one to wonder what kind of oysters these could be. Well, they're actually bull testicles that are deep fried. Oh. Yeah. Mmm. Salty. Mm-hmm. So yay, nay on that.

I'm going to give that a hard no. Okay. Thank you. Fair. Yeah, me too. This one's kind of easy. Fried butter. Fried butter?

Mm-hmm. Surely that's just melted butter. It's deep fried, battered, and put on a stick. What? It's a fair food. I bet we have it at our state fair too. That sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen. I think it also is topped with powdered sugar.

Jesus Christ. No wonder you've all got diabetes. I think it debuted at the Iowa State Fair so you know that's fun nice apparently a pub in Scotland serves something similar with ice cream, iron brew

and coulis to be fair go ahead have you ever tried a battered Mars bar bar no but like deep fried candy bars are pretty like a like a fair food here cool we get them in fish and chip shops for some reason well those that's why they fry food they have the batter and the yeah exactly exactly um i mean to your point though what i'm reading here is some critics in Edinburgh have referred to deep fried butter as corn area on a plate. Yeah.

But would you try it? I'd try it. Yeah, I probably would, too. Yeah. All right. One more. Ludafisk. Ludafisk?

Yeah. Immediate thoughts, ludicrous. I wanna lick you from your head to your neck. Yeah, it's actually just eating ludicrous. No, it's spelled... It's his brand of crisps. Yeah, exactly. It's spelled L-U-T-E-F-I-S-K.

And it's kind of a Minnesotan thing because of all of the Nordic and Scandinavian heritage in the state. Fermented heron. Very, very, very good. Close. It is cod, whitefish. It's cured in lye. Ad adopts a gelatinous texture, and, you know, it's quite mild in taste and basically it's soaked in poison, and then you eat it. Mmm, yummy. When someone says it's got a gelatinous texture

that really makes me want to eat it I bet I have tried this I was not a fan anyway some fun foods for you thank you very much that's great I want your opinion on like some of our classics

so like a roast dinner I mean I find on like some of our classics. So like a roast dinner. I mean, I find some of your like staple dishes are quite samey, meat and potatoes. That doesn't mean they're not good. You know, there is some truth to kind of it being a little bit bland,

but I also don't think you need to have like your meat and potatoes be super spicy or spiced, right? But I do like roast dinner and I appreciate the times that I visited and my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law and even I think you hosted a roast dinner once. Like it was all very good. I like meat. I like potatoes I like a veg I go to great lengths to season my roast dinner to perfection so if you're telling me my roast is bland I might cry no I don't think that that's I just mean sometimes I find going out to restaurants, burgers are kind of meh. Yeah, your bag is all good.

Not a lot of – like your barbecue is not really a thing. But you guys have a lot of Indian and Chinese and curries and stuff, which are really, really flavorful and seasoned because that's kind of what the dish is. But then you have shepherd's pie and fish and chips and roast dinners and egg salad and beans on toast. Yeah, all right. Fair point. Every time you've cooked for me, it's been phenomenal, though. Good. That's what I want to hear. Thank you. I mean, to be fair, I feel like the last few times we've come over, it's been just a fuck ton of meat on the grill outside. Yeah. We just have a big old barbecue.

Which is fun. I don't hate it. Remember when we tried to make tacos and Keith's dog ate all of it? Yeah. I was like, is Eric going to be okay? Pound of pork off the side. Oh my god. So much. He ate so much.

I'm surprised he didn't die. Poor Eric. I mean, we gotta have a few tacos. Yeah, he just wanted to try it. What else you got? I mean, I guess I listed them all. Yeah, I mean, you've given me all of them one thing I do feel

I need to bring up on the food is your portion sizes in restaurants are ridiculously huge one that particularly springs to mind was when we went out for breakfast and I mean we ordered too much anyway because we wanted to try loads of stuff on the menu but

I ordered pancakes which are meant to be for one person and they were the size of a plate and there was about 10 of them was Was this at IHOP? Yes. Was it? Yeah. It could have been IHOP, Perkins, Horizon. I can't remember, but it was good. But too much. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, our pancakes are pretty insane. I also think that a lot of your food is food like out eating out anyway is like super rich like last time I came back from America I just had to eat like salads for a week because I was like I'm just so full of meat and cheese and pancakes and like rich food felt like shit i need to cleanse yeah well i'm pretty sure we took you to have like the cheese stuffed burger right yeah which is a lot and that was when we first got there so we were all really jet-lagged as well it was like 10 at night let's go get the cheesiest stuffed burgers you possibly can sorry and you know your british bellies need like a little time to adjust

yeah we're used to plant food this is why we're fat This is why we're fat. Oh, gosh. I think it's so hilarious, though, that you guys have this kind of obsession with, and I think we've talked about this before, but like the sweet shops that are actually just a bunch of American foods. Oh, really? You know, like you go to the sweet shop kind of in Brighton and it's like Pop-Tarts, sugary cereals, Twinkies. Yeah, yeah. Like American stuff that you don't eat, you know. No.

Too much sugar. And it's so expensive too. I think it's probably the same thing as us trying to buy a can of baked beans here. Like your Pop-Tarts are. $12 a box. Yeah, it's imported, isn't it? I guess. Also, your chocolate sucks.

Shot's fired, but I'm not even mad because it's true. Yeah, it's true. It's true. Like, is it even chocolate? Cadbury's. It doesn't taste like chocolate. No. And Cadbury's is really good, but even the Cadbury's here is different.

Oh, really? Mm-hmm. It doesn't taste quite the same. It is. Well, I think enough about food. Because either people found this fascinating or really lame. And, you know, I don't really care if that's the case, but we can move on. It's made me hungry.

Yeah, me too. I am curious, though. You guys have something really unique in your kitchens that is pretty consistent across the board. Clothes, washers. Washing machines. Yeah. I just wanted to make sure to clarify what type. Well, we tend to have dishwashers, a fridge, and washing machines.

Why? I think just because traditional houses in England aren't built big enough to have a separate utility room. So the natural place for it to go is in the kitchen. No dryer though, huh? Some people have dryers. But no, don't you know how hot our weather is here? We just hang it outside. It dries

in five to six working days. If it doesn't rain in between. If it doesn't rain in between. So I think Sean's mom has a dryer in the garage oh does she but that's like not super usual i've noticed like do you have a do you have a dryer

no no you have an airing cupboard and a little drying rack and a clothesline. Correct. I guess it works, right? Yeah, exactly. It is annoying in the winter when it's super cold. It takes forever to dry. But yeah, I did have a utility room in a couple of houses I lived in growing up, actually, to be fair. I mean, I didn't. My mom did. I didn't do washing then

is that where the washer was then not in the kitchen mhm yeah but then like you guys don't even use your dishwashers that much either I've noticed what I mean I've got a stupid dishwasher

that's too small to fit fucking plates in. Mm-hmm. I mean, who invented that? Yeah, I think that's the problem, is it's just easier to hand wash, right? Yeah. So the little plates and bowls and the cutlery goes in there and the cups. But yeah, we have to wash anything. Any large plates, any pots and pans and pans well I think what it comes down

to is we've had more space to build houses too because we have basements and that's where like a lot of washers and dryers are and I have a dishwasher that's probably double the size of yours and yeah show off not to brag very wealthy you know i've got my emotional support blender oh god i just that was something that was so confusing to me though i was like why is your washer in your kitchen why isn't yours in your kitchen that's the real question why do you hate your washing machine so much that it's in the basement ugly it's big it smells bad they do make a lot of noise to be fair yeah

poor washing machine so i think that one was for my mom she actually really wanted me to ask that question so hi mom hopefully that answers it okay I've got one for you why do you have electrical sockets in the bathroom which is a place that is predominantly wet

and full of water. So I'm sure there's something about our sockets that make it so they can be in there, right? Like I think however our electricity and our ground circuit faults, I'm just saying words now and hope that I'm right, can work. But I understand. But you have to blow dry your hair in your living room and straighten your hair. No, do it in the bedroom.

Weird, why? or a dressing room if you're rich enough because it's dangerous to have electrical items in the bathroom have you never seen like the warning videos of someone in the bath and the hair dryer falls in the bath and electrocutes them oh so i don't know where i've seen that but that is ingrained in my memory so you think that i just leave my hair dryer plugged in at all times and have it right next to the bathtub that's always full yes yeah i mean yeah that is a risk how else would you have it it is a risk but i think the idea is that you unplug it plug it and you're not using it in the bathtub also what if you've just had a hot shower and the bathroom is all full of condensation and your mirror is fogged up like you

can't blow you can't blow dry your hair in that scenario. It might suck water up into the hairdryer. You can't see anything in the mirror. I don't think that's happening. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's not happening here. It is more convenient, though. Sometimes. Not often, but sometimes. I mean, we have like um we do have little ones for

shavers and toothbrushes sometimes little wool ones oh you mean they're like the two prong for men men get yeah men get them for their. Are you shaving your face? I mean, not right now. It's unfair. I mean, make a blow dryer that lets me plug it into that then. Yeah, actually. I think they're less voltage. So yeah, maybe our plugs are just more powerful

and therefore we can't have them in the bathroom I've blown up a flat iron or two over there yeah actually I remember my straightener straightener or hair tongs right

yeah we didn't it just didn't get hot enough because there was not enough voltage. But I just assumed that was like the, what do you call it? Like a little travel plug thing. The adapter. Adapter, that's the word I was looking for. Good thing when you come over, I have possibly everything you could need

because I am one high-maintenance bitch. You've got all the Dyson stuff, haven't you? Mm-hmm. I feel like I come over and I'm like, when I come over there, I'm like roughing it because I can't bring any of my stuff and I have to borrow it. And I'm just like, I guess I'll just I'll just let my hair air dry today hair just looks like shit it yeah it does all the time

oh well that's that one sorted yeah I'm glad we got that out of the way I was worried it was going to be possibly the end of the podcast but I think i can recognize your point of view and you can recognize mine on this nope fuck you then we're done this is it end of our podcast we're done fine last episode bye oh well i think actually we're coming up on time but i think just to maybe put up put some stuff out there for our listeners what are you curious to know about any of the food we've talked about or if you're in the uk or somewhere else or in the us that you want to know from jemma or i our thoughts on and do you think outlets in the bathroom dangerous convenient what are your thoughts on that and uh yeah send us your opinions send us your opinions and if you

Thanks for listening, tater tots tater tots over and out tater tots ta-ta ta-ta for now katherine bye gbag you dbag gbag remember when i was telling you the other day about how it's hard for me to leave my home because I don't want to leave my blender? Yeah, your emotional support blender you called it, which I thought was weird and maybe a little problematic. I said it feels like my emotional support blender because of how many smoothies I make and how good I feel these days because of them. Okay, go on.

Well, I found something the other day that may solve my problem. Oh, tell me more. I discovered this thing called Blendjet 2. It's a portable blender that you can use basically anywhere or anytime. Seems messy. I know, but it doesn't look like it is.

Blendjet 2 is portable, so you can blend up a smoothie at work, a protein shake at the gym, or even a margarita on the beach. More like a margarita at work, know what I'm saying? Or that. But it's also small enough to fit in a cup holder, but powerful enough to blast through tough ingredients like ice and frozen fruit with ease. Blendjet 2 is whisper quiet, so you can make your morning smoothie without waking up the whole house and it lasts 15 plus blends and recharges quickly via USB-C.

Best of all, Blendjet 2 cleans itself. Just blend water with a drop of soap and you're good to go. So, not messy at all, I don't think. Okay, I'm intrigued. And now I want a margarita. Me too. It looks like there's tons of different styles and colors, so you can have a margarita blend jet for work, a protein blend jet for the car, and a... Soup blend jet for the forest?

Sure. I want the camo one because I am a certified badass. Just don't lose it in the woods. Okay, so what are we waiting for? These look awesome. I know.
