Welcome to a bonus episode.
We're going to do, we forgot to do games the last couple of episodes.
So we decided to throw out a bonus episode.
We're going to do purely just a game for this episode.
So we've decided on overrated, underrated.
So you've got a list of things.
Yeah, and you know it's not just going to be a simple answer
because I have to give an explanation.
Yeah, we're long wind of people.
We just love to get into stuff.
So it's not going to be a quick one.
I'm not just going to go, I'm not just going to go, oh, it's underrated,
I'm going to tell you why.
We're going to get into it why we think so.
Okay.
So hit me.
What we called underrated or overrated?
Yeah.
Nando's.
For how much people talk about Nando's, I think it's overrated, but I do like it.
See, yeah, I think it's way overrated.
I just think it's just chicken with some flavour on it and mine at home is so as well.
To be fair, Liam makes an amazing chicken drumstick and he does actually use some of the, he
He didn't do it on the last one because it was quite spicy the way he makes it.
But he'll make the chicken that you had here the other day,
but he'll add the medium sauce to it and drizzle it all over and cook it so then it's juicy and crispy.
And it's got a bit of heat to it.
That is amazing.
And that is Anando sauce, but that's not what they make there.
He's well more tastier than that.
Yeah, I think it's definitely overrated.
I think, to funny, I actually think I've only been once.
We've been a couple of times, not because like...
It's not here, is it?
No.
No. No. It's in England.
Yeah, it's in England.
So, like you say, we've been a couple of times,
not because I think the most times we've eight years
because it's been in the airport on the way back from England
and it's like the nicest thing in the airport.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I do like it. I don't mind it.
I don't love it. I don't seek it out.
So, yeah.
No, I'm not one of like, oh.
No, no.
Yeah, no, definitely not.
Okay. Strawberries and chocolate.
I'm going to say it's overrated.
Totally overrated.
I don't really like fruit anyway, is though.
I don't mind strawberry, but I wouldn't really.
grabbed strawberries, I wouldn't really put them together.
My kids would make strawberries and chocolate like on a random.
Like, you'd like you say, doing that.
But I think personally, when you think of strawberries and chocolate,
you think it like a romantic thing, I think.
Either romantic or a bit like as a treat as something special.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I remember being in London once with a friend of mine and we walked specifically
quite far to get these strawberries and chocolate.
And they were like a tenor for like three or four of them.
It was, I was a bit like, well,
I mean, she loved them, which is fair enough.
But I, yeah, I was more pissed off that I've just, I've paid a tenor.
That would actually ruin my fucking day that bit.
I'd be like, I don't even want, I think it happened the other day.
I'm not ever joking when I was in the shot.
Lexi wanted a watermelon and she got a whole, this was in the blackout.
She got a whole watermelon.
And I kind of argued with a not to pick it up.
But in the end, I think, I'll just, you know, when it's like, whatever, just get the warm.
Pick my bowels, just get it.
1135, it was.
I genuinely was like, for a watermelon.
Me and Mitch did it each ever, right?
And I swear, I thought he was going to go, nah, put that back kind of thing.
And I think we both felt the same thing.
But in a way, obviously, we thought, we might need this watermelon too.
It's going to last us a while.
Don't get me wrong.
So we got in the car as well.
It was even funny.
We got in the car.
And all I could hear was this fucking watermelon rolling around in the boot.
I was like, I am getting in the back because I've just paid 11.35.
Don't bruise the 11 euro watermelon.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Wow, that's an expensive fruit.
Yeah.
Well, I think usually I buy it in like a quarter.
Yeah, but obviously not realising.
For casing sometimes or for the smaller, like the honeydew one, like cut in half and stuff.
Yeah.
I would never have expected a whole one to be 11 euros.
No, I'm not really.
Wow.
Yeah.
Actually, say it's true as chocolate.
Definitely my answer is overrated.
Yeah.
But we've, we had, but now we just obviously melt the chocolate.
I love warm melted chocolate with different stuff.
Just not fruit?
Not.
No, I love fruit.
What would you put it with then?
I'd put it with, what would I have?
I'm just literally trying to think
because the kids would have everything.
So strawberries, I'd get strawberries, apples, banana, orange, like everything.
I think I'd just put the spoon in it, actually.
I'm trying to think what fruit I'd pick up.
None, just a spoon.
Maybe a little bit of apple.
Green apple.
I'm so fussy, and I.
But yeah, yeah, just a bit chocolate.
Yeah, overrated for me.
Actually, funny enough, because we're going away.
we got a message from the hotel going,
did you want any specials in your room?
Like, strawberries and chocolate?
Not really, no.
No, thanks.
Not a bad will do.
Going on that, champagne.
Underrated and overrated.
Overrated?
I think it's overrated.
So overrated.
I honestly probably wouldn't know that.
No.
You could give me Prosecco, Carver, champagne.
I'm still going to go.
Different.
Yep.
Pull that face.
Like, every now and then I do like a glass of bubbles.
I do like it.
But I don't love it.
And I definitely don't care about.
Kinex for Dompereo or whatever it's called.
No. Bubbles hits me anyway. It doesn't matter what it is.
A jegmy wouldn't probably notice the difference.
If it tastes nice, it's nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
Not really fun.
Not fast for that.
It all gets to your head, than it.
Sunsets.
I think they're quite underrated.
I completely agree.
It's something that you know is nice.
But I think when you actually go and do it, you're like, wow.
Yeah.
And how different and beautiful sunsets can be, obviously,
depending on where you're watching them from.
Remember when we went to the beach, just all the girls on a random evening once and we went, that was really nice.
And when we were there, we're like, we should so do this more often.
It was lovely.
There's places that have a known, like we've been to the Ibiza.
Yeah, I went to the Ibiza area.
Yeah, sat on the rocks.
That was really nice.
And it was beautiful.
But like you say, you can find that anywhere.
You've just got to go and take your time to watch.
To do it.
Yeah, no, totally underrated.
I think it just does something.
inside like maybe because it's nature maybe because it is just very pretty to look at I
don't know what it is but it does I I do I do and I haven't done but I know well Mason has
with his friends and I know some of some of the people I know have done it some set sunrise
where we were I always get it wrong the sun coming up yeah that yeah so I have never done a
sunrise no I have never so that would be something to I don't know if I'd like a sunrise as much
as a sunset. I think the setting is getting up on it. Definitely that. I don't think
you would be able to get me up for a sunrise. The only time I would do it is if I was jet lagged
in another country and I'd already go up to early, which is what I'd saw actually that Ryan
Thomas and Lucy Mecklenburg, however you say her name. They've just gone to America to do
a cruise actually, their first cruise. And they were in Miami or wherever they were. And they got
up jet lagged at like four or five in the morning. So they went with the kids to watch the sunset
purely because they were already away. That's it.
I would do.
That I would do.
I think I'd rather a sunset.
Like you say, because I'm up, for example, years ago, when I was, I think I've said
it, I went to, like, South Africa on a safari when we went on a morning thing, I managed,
obviously we see the sunset.
But actually planning on getting up at this time, we're going to go to the beach, like
you say, and set up and watch the sunset, which I know amazing, his friends have done
before.
Yeah.
That's pretty amazing for a teenager.
I would never have got out of my bed for a sun ride.
Honestly, I'm going to tell you honestly now, I don't know about his friends.
Mason, Mason thought it was better for him because he's not very good at getting up.
It just stays awake.
That's a teenage thing to do.
So I had to be honest with that one.
I don't know about his friends.
They probably were clever and went to sleep and put an alarm on.
But because Mason knew he wouldn't get up for his alarm,
because literally that kid would sleep through anything is crazy.
That, yeah, he just stayed awake.
He just went.
Wow.
Went then, like whatever it was, 6 o'clock or whatever.
Oh, I wouldn't have been able to stay away
But yeah, that sounds more teenage-like
I wouldn't even even
But yeah, that was his
That was his solution for that
I think, yeah, I'd like to do some sets more actually
I think I've only done two or something maybe in my life
So yeah
Yeah, I definitely think that's really
We should maybe do that one day in the summer
Yeah, we've got
We'll take all the kids
So many opportunities
Yeah, yeah, different places to see them
Where we are as well, we're so lucky
Yeah
Like, you know, like nice
Lovely ones
cup of tea or coffee in bed
or underrated
definitely underrated
because of our lives I think
we don't do it
no we don't get the time to really
I haven't done it in a while
the only time we do get things like that
is birthday so if it was my birthday
or Mitch's birthday
I'd go I'd go
say it's a Mitch's birthday I'd go down and get the kids
get all the bits for I do these cars
presents and then a cup of coffee
yeah and take it up so that on the other way around
for a birthday or Mother's Day, Father's Day.
Yeah.
The kids did it for our anniversary.
That sort of thing.
We don't really do it for an occasion.
No, that's what I'm saying.
That's the only time I'd have a coffee bed.
Because Liam don't have tea or coffee anyway, so it is literally just me.
And in the morning, like Liam makes me a cup of tea.
That's just his thing that he does.
And it's really nice, a little touch.
But, yeah, on the, on the, some rant, I haven't done it for ages.
But, yeah, sometimes, like, if he'll get up with the kids in the morning,
and I stay in bed
then he'll bring me one in
but again it's rare because it's just not a thing
and it's hard to sometimes relax and enjoy sometimes
but I feel like I need to
definitely can't with the kids
especially with Hayden at the minute
Jesus but yeah okay we're definitely
we did it the other day
where I was a bit old I think Lexi was out
and Morgan's obviously to the same thing
we kind of got up and then we're like
oh I'll just go back and back to bed
chilling bed and watch tell you of a cup of coffee sort of thing
you know what I mean it wasn't like
actually really like watching TV
in bed. Yeah, it was. Liam don't.
Liam hates watching TV and bed. Oh, really?
Yeah. See, I would say that's probably
but underrated as in
I don't put the television when I go to bed.
No, we don't do that. Yeah, no. Whereas Mitch has to put the
telly on before he goes to sleep. I used to be like that.
Yeah. Yes. We've always
in. Always done that. Always done that. And then obviously
getting with Liam and he never did that. And then
gradually just got into the habit of not doing it either. So, um, no,
We never put the TV on to go to bed
unless we decided we were watching something in bed
which we did before kids really
would maybe put something on in bed
but Liam would prefer to watch it in the living room
and then go to bed.
That's what I would do.
So generally, yeah, if we watch stuff together
we'll generally watch it in the living room
and then go to bed.
But yeah, getting into bed and watch TV
I miss it. I've not been...
Because Hayden's in our room.
So I haven't been able to do that for like a year.
On the odd random Friday
where Kaysen's gone to school
Liam's gone to work
and Hayden's going back for his like his morning
now normally we don't
because I'll put him to nap and then I'll be in the living room
but sometimes I've put him in the bed next to me
and I'll put the TV on and he's fell asleep
while the TV's on and then I can watch it
in bed. Yeah. I love it. It is.
That's underrated. I agree.
Because sometimes it's hard for me
it's hard to relax so actually when you're proper
in that mode of really enjoying it
you know what I mean? I'm really making. Because if I'm in the living
room, I'll try and sit down, but then it's like, I can see all these things that need
picking up and putting away. So it's, you don't really relax. I don't use my sofa. I don't
really think, I think last night was the longest I've ever sat because I watched, I don't
even watch telly, you know this. I watched a whole program last night. The, um, race across
the world thing. Okay. Have you not seen it? No. I thought you'd be really into that.
We don't watch TV, um, like TV channels. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was, it was on one like
that, you know, on a certain time. Yeah. Um, and yeah. Um, and yeah, I think, obviously, obviously,
of us again I just wish to have got hooked so um actually while it's on here reality shows
mostly overrated yeah I do I do like reality TV so you I do get into it but I don't like
more American are you not more American definitely more American I find it harder to get into
the English reality TV but then there are still there are some programs that I do like I do
watch but as a whole like it is over I think so I do I do think it's hard to make a good
one that's the trouble because people are so
unauthentic now and they're in it
for the fame for whatever reason
it's hard to capture that
reality it's hard to capture the reality is it real
yeah so I find it hard but there
there are some really good shows up yeah and I think
sometimes it again you could have the same show
but now maybe that year was better than another year
or you're just more into that year
than another year you have to you have to get
hooked to the people yeah so like you say you can have the same
show, like Big Brother.
I used to love Big Brother, watched it loads,
and X Factor and stuff like that.
It's like, but you have to buy
into the people in that season
series, whatever it is. Because then you want to keep
watching it and you want to know what's going on.
Oh, X Factor, that was a great show.
And that was proper, like, leading up to Christmas,
wasn't it? Like, I'm a celebrity
and stuff. So, yeah, that...
To be fair, I do like, I'm a celebrity, but again,
it does, it's the people. And if you get into
it. Exactly. I've gone
off that a lot lately. I don't think it's been
Me, until you want to.
It is a bit late.
But yeah, like Love Island, there's been a couple of good series of that.
It's got a bit of shit now.
Love is Blind.
I do like that one.
I haven't seen that one.
Have you not seen Love is blind?
I don't really want, come on, you know, I don't want to celebrate it.
I haven't heard it.
It started off in America, but they actually just done an English one with Matt and Emma Willis as the hosts.
Okay, I think I've heard them talking about it.
So basically, it's the same in both countries, but you date through a pod.
So you sit in a room like this and you talk to someone in a room like there and there's like a big screen.
You can't see the shape of them, what they look like, nothing.
You're not allowed to talk about what you look like.
So it's like the voice dating.
It is literally, you date, you serial date lots of people and then you like you go to on another date and a second date and a third date and stuff and gradually you like whittle it down to like your favourite.
But then the only way you get out of the pods is if you actually propose.
So in the space of two, three weeks, they date like 10, 12 hours a day.
And then they get to a point where they have a connection,
sometimes with two people,
and it's really hard to pick who they,
because they genuinely develop feelings
and they fall for someone and then picking one or two.
And obviously, the whole point is to find the person you're going to marry.
So they get to a point where they pick one,
they propose, they accept it.
Once they accept it, then they meet.
And then the show follows them from when they get engaged to,
then they, all the couples end up engaged,
then go on a honeymoon
separately, but then they all end up coming together
on the honeymoon.
Then they go home and they get given an apartment
for I think two weeks or whatever it is
to then get used to living together.
Then they start meeting their friends
and their family and stuff like that
and then they have their wedding day.
So it's like a month after
by the time they actually stand at the altar
and they say yes or no.
And some couples don't get married.
Some couples do get married.
And there's actually couples still married now
and they've actually had, like, babies and stuff.
But it's basically, the whole point of it is, is love blind.
Can you actually love someone for them and not the way they look?
Yeah.
So, yeah.
That's a really good one.
I do like that one.
That's a good, that I like that idea.
It is, like the voice.
Where was I?
Decent shower.
A decent shower.
Oh, so underrated.
Yeah.
That can change your life.
So, Liam.
Experience that haven't you as well at home.
Yeah.
Liam is a shower snob wherever we go he comments on the shower if it's someone's house
a hotel whatever it is he has to talk about what the shower's like so yeah that's a general
conversation in our house but yeah a really great shower it's so underrated and at the
moment Liam's doing our onsuit so we've had to use our other bathroom and the shower in there
for some reason was shit yeah just it trickled out there was no pressure it was crap it was really
hard to get the right temperature. Anyway, he's
took the whole thing apart, cleared out all
the pipes or whatever the problem was and now
it's amazing. But it's like
you fixed it, maybe
in the last week. He's on the verge
of finishing. We've had a shit shower
for about three months. I didn't stress
an hour. Literally to the point that I've actually
a couple of the times had to get in the bath
and use the shower because we've got
like a head in the bath thing as well. The power.
Yeah. Yeah. Or to even
get the temperature. Yeah. So there you go.
Until you get in one and you think
when you have a shit shower.
And it does stress you out, doesn't it?
Oh my God.
It's such a stress when you get in the shower
and either the water's not hot
or it's not strong enough or something.
Do you know what I mean?
Definitely.
Yeah, I agree.
If the gas goes or whatever, it's like so annoying.
Because it usually goes on me.
Like if you're, it just fixes everything.
If you feel like shit, if you've got period pains,
if you've had a long day at work.
But when you get in and the kids are annoying you.
But that's a nice shower.
I don't know if it fixes your life.
It was just our house.
It was just generally.
but in our house if someone's in the shower and then you obviously use the tap
it makes it cold
it goes cold or obviously less scorches you
or yeah or the less strength of power
and it is it's we won't visit the shower
we'll just shout turn it out
because obviously they're in the shower and it's gone how it is it's so annoying
yeah so and it could be sometimes it could be no one using the tap
it could just like the washing machine because I'm starting running water
yeah yeah definitely
fake plant
that's a hard one
probably underrated
I think they are underrated
because for people like meeting you
we can't keep
black lives alive
then yeah anything alive
but yeah
definitely wow
they're probably
yeah underrated
because like you say
you need the look
I mean this one
I can already see three of them
but if they were real
they definitely would be gone
wouldn't it?
And you need the greenery
you need the plants.
Like I like the look of plants
but I don't want real ones
and actually I think once
I actually got little
I think they were for the bedside table
little plants for me and Liam
and then when I actually looked close on
they were covered in like tiny spider things
and I was like never again.
I do like the idea of it
but then like you say that
I do like that have plants
because it's supposed to be good
I actually saw something on my Facebook the other day
and it did say that this plant can boost
or you know oxygen
and this that and the other
and this one, you know,
and they are, most of them plants are easy to keep alive.
I just never tried.
It's that for me, the bug singing, you know what I'm like?
I don't, no.
Yeah, I'm all right.
I'll pass.
What about trying to grow our own vegetables?
Yeah.
Just as long as it's outside.
As long as it's outside and not in my house.
It'll be that.
It'll be naive.
Think, oh, is that how they look when they're...
That's a lot of work for that.
Aircom.
Oh, underrated.
Yeah.
Especially where we are.
Oh, it's a necessity.
It's not a nice, have a luxury.
I know I do.
I forget every year.
Yeah, like how hot it is.
You know what I mean?
And look at England, on the random time they have a hot summer,
everyone's dying.
They're like, oh my God, air conditioning.
And some people actually got air conditioning installed.
Because it's that, because of how hot it goes.
So imagine, like, here's even worse than your.
It's like going out, isn't it?
If there's no kind of space inside in cool, you're like,
no, I can't eat.
Yeah.
it affects your plans like not can't go there they don't have aircon yeah how many times in
the summer we're like oh where should we go for lunch what should we do where should we take the kids
oh no they don't have yeah because you end up a sweat it's horrible it's uncomfortable well how
quickly do you get stressed when you're hot yeah and especially you've got kids with the
even with babies you know cold enough yet too much way too much no thanks uh swimming pools
have I supposed to have all that no swimming pools um this is a hard one because again it's
quite a necessity and I like having a pool but it is long a little bit overrated having
your own pool yeah like you've got a community pool because I don't use it yeah whereas my
kids are your kids are always in it my kids never get out of a pool it's it's it's just
it depends like but for me I would say they're overrated I just think they're hard work to look
after yeah keep clean all the time yeah that's what I mean I would agree that they're a bit
overrated when you could just have a community pool
because you've got a community pool, I've got a community pool as well
and I actually said the other day when sometimes
you'd go up there don't you? It's nice to be in a
it's nice to go to the community sometimes
to have that community thing in the summer
because you meet different. You meet different
friends and stuff. But I think
if I didn't have one and I had to go to the community pool
that's why I've never got rid of mine because I don't
genuinely don't use it. It's overrated because
like I say it's long, it's effort. I'm not
even the one doing it. But for my kids
side it's probably completely. They absolutely
wouldn't live without it.
So it's like, it's a hard one.
My dogs.
Yeah.
Your dogs in it.
Unfiltered mates.
Unfiltered friends.
I think that's underrated.
I do.
I think you need friends like that.
I agree.
I completely agree.
I think that without my unfiltered mates,
sometimes things wouldn't get said that maybe should need to be said.
Does that make sense?
I think, yeah.
I think it goes both ways because.
I think people that are generally unfiltered can sometimes take the piss.
Oh, yeah, but I'm honest, I'm honest, I'm direct.
Yeah, but you're a dick.
Yeah.
Like, there's a way to say what you want to say without being a dick about it.
So some people don't do it right.
No, I suppose we're thinking with the right intention.
I'm thinking for people that, yeah, I'm thinking, yeah, in this situation,
I'm thinking about people that just genuinely tell you, like, how it is or maybe say things
that are uncomfortable, but that needed to be said.
And I think sometimes you need that.
Yeah.
To have yes friends, then I think when you have friends like that that you never get to that level,
they're surface friends.
They're not fake friends.
They're not.
You need some friends like that.
But at the same time, you need an unfiltered friend here and there.
If they're an unfiltered friend, that's because you've got a deep level friendship
and you can be honest with each other.
And I think everyone needs that.
Well, I think it's said, I see something there.
I think someone said something that I can't think what the thing is now.
Something about
300% more likely to stay friends
when they insult each other
or something, I can't remember what it was,
but it was something like that.
And it does, it makes sense.
Friends that insult each other.
But don't you say, there's that line.
There's always a line.
Marriage.
Oh, Ray.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a hard one.
What's the difference?
Can I just ask a question?
I know I'm not married.
I know I'm getting married.
A bit of hypocrite, Charlotte.
A little, a little bit.
Well, we'll see if you make it there.
Probably more like two reasons.
One legal reasons, probably,
because it's just easier, I think.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the laws are set up for that.
And two for the memories,
the memories of having that day.
Yeah.
But I think we have spoke about it because we spoke about marriage.
But in a simple answer,
I think it's overrated that how much client stress,
money, effort, everything in between
that goes into that couple of hours or few hours.
It's not even a whole.
whole 24 hours is it, come on.
You're talking about the wedding day.
You're not talking about marriage.
Oh, okay.
Well, yeah, then I'd say it's, I say, then I change my answer.
What?
I'd say that it's underrated because I think keeping a good marriage is, is hard to come by
these days.
I think there's not many people who stay in a marriage and stay in a, do you know what I mean?
When you think about the word marriage of like a long-term relationship,
then that is underrated.
Yeah, yeah.
I think actually marriage,
getting married on paper
and having the marriage,
that is a little bit overrated.
Yeah.
I think people go into it
just because it's a thing to do
because it's the way it is.
But then having said that,
would I like to be nearly 20 years deep
as a girlfriend knowing that I'm never going to be a wife?
I don't know.
I like the wife title.
I like that I'm married, that we're married.
I like that bit of it.
I get what you mean.
But then at the same time, I don't, I don't think it's necessary.
It doesn't change.
It shouldn't change a relationship.
It doesn't change.
No.
Like I say, it definitely doesn't change it.
But then at the same time,
I prefer to be a wife.
So it must change something.
It doesn't change us in our relationship as a couple.
No, no.
But the title of it feels a bit more.
real or better?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Go.
Retail therapy.
Underrated or overrated.
I'm going to say it's overrated because it would do my fucking heading.
It would stress me out more personally.
Retail therapy means going to shop to make you better, no?
Yeah.
That's what it is.
No, that would stress me out.
I couldn't do that.
That definitely wouldn't be the answer.
I would rather go for a walk on my own.
Is that because you're thinking of like shopping for your family?
No.
like if you just if you decided like you we had a girl's dinner a birthday and you need a new
outfit and you had to go buy yourself something no that would stress you out so that yeah no
that's not my idea you shop online a lot now don't you you don't really yeah it's not my
idea of fun personally yeah you you like it i like i know a lot of people that do yeah and really
get a good feel from it when they've been shopping and they've i just think i mean it's it
I don't love shopping like I used to
definitely not now as much
and I'm not a person
I don't shop every month
no but what I'm saying is you get that good feel from it
yeah like I like it
and to be honest I like to go by myself
yeah if I go shopping with someone I never buy anything
because I talk and I can't focus
and I can't do two things at once
I'm not I wouldn't be a very good shop with them
the people who go unlike a girl's I don't know how they go
and buy stuff because no
I think those people you just browse
and if you see something you grab it
it's not really a shopping thing.
Yeah, I don't feel like I need to get this is this today.
Yeah.
And to be honest, a lot of the time that I do go shopping isn't because I need something specific.
Sometimes if I need something specific, I'm running and run now.
That's not going to be shopping.
But like every now and then, like I like to just wander around the shops, hopefully
when it's not too busy.
And generally, that kind of feeling hits me at about 6, 7 o'clock in the evening.
If I've had like a long day or whatever or, you know, long couple of weeks or whatever
with the kids and work and stuff
and I just fancy
I like to go early evening
it's generally not too busy
wander around by myself
so it's a bit of like a
sounds lovely but I just know
I wouldn't have I was
and when I don't have the pressure
of something specific to find
it's even better
because then I'm just mooching
and if I see something nice
and I'll grab something
I don't traips around every single shop
that to me again wouldn't be enjoyable
I pick a couple of the shops that I like
have a mooch about
if I see something nice great
Yeah, it's probably because I don't do that
You know, like I'm usually looking for something in particular
For a certain thing in there because I can't, it's just me out
And so the thought of it's like, nah
But that would be my first answer is overrated
You'd say it's underrated, then that's underrated in the right way, yeah
If like that kind of, to me, that is really enjoyable
Yeah
We've got two left
Bath bombs
Overrated
God, they make the...
To realize, I don't like baths anyway
I'm not a big bath girl personally
I only like baths when like I'm ill
or I've got a bad bag.
I just don't like it.
I feel like to have a show after anyway.
It's just long.
It's one of them things that I love the idea of like, say,
if I'm ill and stuff and I'll get in and then I'm sweating and then I'm hot
and I'm trying to stay in because I've just wasted loads of hot water in the bath
and I don't waste it.
But yeah, I find it hard to stay in it.
Stay in it.
Whereas everyone else in my family loves a bar.
The kids love a bath bomb.
Yeah, no, I couldn't.
It makes, well, I've never really used a bath bomb myself.
I think I've got one for Casein once.
maybe like a Christmas stocking thing
and something
and it like stained my bath
I had to scrub my bloody bath
so since then I'm a bit
I wouldn't even
I did it the other day though
I went into the bath
and I went oh what's happened to the kids
what's happened to the bath
it's that bath on but it was yellow
it looked like
that'd piece in the bar
do I mean I was like
yeah
it's nice
have a nice bath
yeah no
you clean
I don't like them
I don't like them
oh my earrings just fell out
right last one
oh that actually fucking really hurt
Soaps
Soaps
Like TV soaps
I used to watch them a lot
I don't watch any of them now
I did
I did watch Holly Oaks a lot longer than all the other ones
But
I'm going to say that
I'm going to tell my reason why
I'm going to say that
Underrated
The reason I say that
Is because actually how
How many messages they get across
The people to be fair
In their storylines
Yeah and how much like tackle the storylines
Yeah
And how much it is quite a thing
for obviously people, you know, them times through the day,
you know, when they're having the, you know, like,
brings families together as well.
Yeah, you know, that sort of thing.
So, yeah, for that reason, I'd say,
I mean, I don't watch them anymore.
And actually, like, I've seen a couple things lately
of, like, behind the scenes and the realities of people talking about, like,
working on a soap.
And that is hard work.
It is.
The hours, how quickly they have to learn lines.
I think they're on every day.
These are every single day.
Yeah, every day.
Yeah. So, yeah, I'll agree with you. Underrated. And like I say, I think when you actually watch it and you get into it, it's like I enjoyed them. But I just got so out of the loop. And like I say, when you don't watch it for ages, you can't really get back in because you don't really know what's going. Yeah, you kind of work out where these. Yeah. Who's that? Didn't he die? Who's got back to life? Exactly. I'm lying. I have got one more. Gurkins in a burger. Last one.
Oh, underrated.
They're amazing.
Do you?
I didn't think you were going to say that then.
Oh, yeah.
Love a gherkin and a burger.
The first thing I used to do was pull it out of a burger.
You know, when you get it from like your fast food places.
To eat it last or to not eat it?
No, to not eat it.
It just goes in the pack.
I can't remember who it is.
Someone in my life takes them out and savor them to the end.
Really?
Yeah, I can't think of it.
Oh, no, that's the best bit.
Yeah, but I just, I feel like I've grown up a little bit because I now don't take them out.
I don't take them out.
To be fair, I don't buy, I don't buy them burgers anymore, to be honest.
I make my own, like burgers.
But I actually buy gherkins to cut up, like I've cut them up in little.
I don't have the circle.
So like a relishy kind of thing.
Yeah, like a cut up thing and put that in my burger.
So you actually go and buy them now.
Yeah.
Yeah, so underrated, I think.
I like burgers with them without them.
It's not like a desperate need of accession.
I just feel like 90% of the people who get them would pull them out.
I could be completely wrong.
But I just tried it.
I do know a couple of people that do, but I don't know.
I think a lot of people, I think the people that like them, like them.
It's one of them.
It's like, Ma, like, you love it or you hate it.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you eat your gherkins?
Do you take them out and put them on the side?
You love them.
Yeah.
How are you eat your eggs?
Well, that's it for underrated, overrated.
Hopefully you enjoy the little bonus game episode.
I love them.
And, yeah, if you've got any underrated.
overrated ideas that you want to put in, then send them over, we'll add them to the list,
then maybe we'll do another one of these.
Yeah, yeah.
That was good.
Defo.
Go-bye.
Right.
See you next time.
Peace out.
