This was like 20 messages, all really short, stopping off halfway through. Like, I don't know if I can. I don't know if I should. I don't know what to do in my hands. It was like, it's just an Instagram message, but I get it. I get it. Right. Now as a watcher of a Kista Girl.

By the way, for anyone who's abroad and hasn't seen it, just get a VPN. It's worth it. Come on. It's worth it. It's so good. Catherine. Have you had a nice week apart from I Kissed a Girl? Or is it just been like a Kissed Girl?

for this. I've been telling my friends this is happening and then me watching that with my friends and then me sort of hanging out here waiting for this to happen and then you were late. I know. So it's freaking out because I was like is it going to happen. Were you actually annoyed I was late today or were you like I get five minutes with just me and Amy? Oh, I was absolutely thrilled.

Absolutely thrilled to have some free aid me time. I was so excited. Yeah, she's adorable. You don't get a lot of redhead femme representation, you know? You got to take it where you can get it and I love it. Who else do you have? You and her? No, there's got to be another one. Ashley Ann's not good. Does Chapel Roan count? Who?

Catherine, come on. Chapel Rowan? Chapel Rowan, the musician. A lesbian icon, chapel roan. Whoopsie daisies, Catherine. Wait, wait, Andrew, when you say things like that, I understand where you're coming from, but you do sometimes forget the decade difference.

Yeah, are they new? In the ages. I'd say they've blown up massively in the last like six months. Well, come on. Andrew, I'll hear about her in six years. give her a chance to catch up she's really good her music is fantastic

oh my god she's gorgeous yeah there's a fantastic bridge I think it's called good luck babe where she's talking about like a fling that's now settled down with a man and it's like when you think about me in the oh we wake up next to him

in the middle of the night you're nothing more than his wife and you think about me all those years ago you're face to face with I told you so okay I'm following you're following no I'm literally going on my Spotify as well because I feel like we never talk about music on because I think we're both like not I'm not up to date with music I know Andrew stays up to day I'm like I'm still listening to my favorite playlist of my phone is your favorite songs from 2013

so like I need to update it mine is top lesbian energy no let's lesbian top energy on spot I imagine chapel rona will make that playlist too I think she does actually I've said that that bridge I'm like huh it's a lot of G flip and a lot of fletcher obviously okay I'm downloading good luck babe and red wine supernova. Oh, yeah, that's the big one. Also, hot to go. But that's mainly fun because it's got choreography. Okay, I'm so sorry to all those kids

who are screaming at me right now for not knowing, I'll do the homework. I will be, I will be well-versed by next week. Oh my God, that's so exciting. I've been doing non-lesbian things. Surprise.

Surprise. Have you actually had sex this week? No. Is that, oh, well, everything else. Everything else you do is gay as hell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had no sex again. Always.

Always. Well, no, no, I've been fudding myself stupid, obviously. But not with a partner. Anything new happening there? You into anything new? With fudding myself? Yeah. Sometimes I don't hold my breath to challenge myself. Okay, nice. Lean in, take your time, be romantic. Why not? I feel like I'm questioning everything I say. I did a preview yesterday at the Bill Murray.

There's some lovely gigs this weekend, actually. Nice. Yeah, I met some lovely hogs at the Angel Street Party. Oh, heaven. I've similarly had a lovely week of. gigs but you tell me about your shirt she's been good isn't it she's been nice gigs the people are in good vibes i think because the weather was nice people are in much better sorts i did um however though i just did a run of gigs glasgow edinburgh york and then spent eight hours failing to make a newcastle tour date because of the trains you guys i'm absolutely

got it was actually devastating i was so close but i was stuck in a tunnel like a tunnel like a bit before durham we were allowed to get out so it's like if i got out of durham i could have just got in a taxi but i was stuck at the place where you're not allowed to get anyway a gorgeous week of tour shows it was lovely there's always one you have to reschedule because of like whatever i did this for norwich last year like we got there the tire was flat there were no trains that weekend the bus could get us in too late i'm driving so it's fine yeah yeah yeah well we were driving but the the tire like broke fuck but it's like it happens and people do understand yeah i felt because people are lovely at gigs at the moment they're really nice

I also had Aldershot and Bright Oldershot's my area All of them Just absolutely lovely Yes Hampshire girlies Yes Hampshire Oh my god

Oldishot was such a blast It had such a good time There were like eight bald men in Yeah Oldershire Yeah No but they were so nice They really liked the show They were a son

I think that might be my niche now Maybe you're a Hampshire girlie at home Who knew Truly had a gorgeous time I knew you love the new forest I knew I was like in Hellen Town because a woman, like, quite drunkenly kind of got in backstage into my dressing room after the show to be like,

will you come meet your fan? I was like, huh, again, my personal space is invented. At the front of the West End Centre when it's at the bar and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bit of a laugh. And some lovely Irish hugs brought me champagne. You love champagne. I love champagne.

And stage brought me flowers in New York. It was honestly just like a real sweet. Catherine, it's all going good. Yeah. And they said, good night around Boer Lath, which is like good look on the road. And it was really sweet

and their card and they're all very nice. And actually, yeah, I just felt really like supported on tour. Tour's a very lonely thing. And the hogs make you feel like, um, a princess.

Well, there's like this is going to be a gang rooting for you. It's really special. Like a princess. Well, like a comedian with people's rooting for them, I think is more. A princess.

Um, okay. So wait, so Angel was fun. But my question. was and I do you're not getting away from it thudding yourself is that what we're saying? I think was it ranking, masturbating, thudding yourself

senseless? What's the novelty at the moment? Just taking your time with it? I don't know there's no real novelty. I suppose it's the same as the novelty as always like my houseman goes out yeah, pull my jeans down to my ankles, lie on the bed close the curtains, here we go

open again. You close the curtains but after you've put your jeans down to your ankles? Oh yeah. That's a shame for my neighbour. Waddling over the curtains. Just wobbling around. Little penguin. Get your curtains out then close the curtains.

That's a lot, my guy. What a strange order. Having a lovely time of life at the moment. I went to the south coast to Brighton to see my dad and sister before I did a show there in the evening. How was it? Devastating. Why? I, oh my God.

So we... Sorry to laugh every time you mention your family, but it's always so good. So I went to my dad's flat, go up and like have lunch with him and my sister at the new Salt Dean Lido, which has just been done up. Very nice. And have lunch there. And then my sister's like, we've got to go, we've got to walk up because there's loads

of lambs and I feel. There's loads of lambs. And I was like, oh my God, yes, 100%. So walking up to see these lambs. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm not hearing any bleating and I'm not seeing any. And I'm like looking at like, God, it's near the end of spring. Oh dear. and like she kept being like there's so many lambs and so many lambs

and I was like not for long like it's the end of May this is so awkward to get to the field and I'm like I can't hear anything and then we're walking around we're walking around there's no lambs and then I was like I can't tell her that they've been sent to slaughter because you can't because like if anyone who's new and just here like for this episode like my sister she's like two years younger than me

she's got like learning difficulties and like a super young mental age I'm like how do I tell her so I said and I think this is genius of a lie they've been sent for vaccines. Oh, very good. Because babies have to have vaccines and so do baby sheep and no one can disprove that.

Did she go for it? She was like, oh, they're back and I was like probably in a week. So you've left that for your dad to deal with? Because I'm away now, yeah. Wow. Poor Michael. Because it was such a nice big field

and we saw horses and then there was oh my god, back my bird watching sign there was a sign saying keep your eye out for skylarks. I was like, we don't see a skyluck. I didn't see one though. But how cool is that? Well, I'm truly they were just getting their vaccine.

And also, I was super close to the Virginia Wolf House. Oh, which one? I don't know. The one that's in Sussex, South Down. Charleston's, where's up? Charleston's Victoria is Bell, isn't it? I don't. I don't know.

I don't know why I brought it up, actually. No, you do care. What's the answer? Monks House in Lewis. In Lewis? Is it that one? Maybe. East Sussex.

Once home to Virginia and Leonard Wolfe. Who's Leonard? I'd seem Virginia's husband. Her husband, who... Do you do anything? Yeah, he was her publisher, basically. Oh, good for him. Yeah, and indeed, Vita's Axel West.

That's your mastermind subject. Yes, and a one-time lover of, Virginia Woolf. And it's who she wrote Orlando about. She wrote Orlando about. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can really tell. Orlando Bloom. What's he up to now?

He's married to Katie Perry. They have a kid. Good thing! Yeah, yeah. He got really involved in crypto and then a guy... Didn't we all? I am literally three grand in on Eath to a point where I'm like, I need to figure out what my life plan is.

I put three grand in on Ethereum. No, I didn't. I changed. What? What am I in? Sol. Salana. Is it making you money?

I'm not joking. I don't know. I keep forgetting to check. Helen, this makes me really best. I wish you hadn't told me any of that. I've made money. You have? Yeah.

I put 3,000 and 3, 811. Well, get your money out now. You've made loads. Oh, my God. No, apparently you wait. Oh my God, it just went to $3,8009. Take it out. Oh, my God.

It's stopping. It's stopping. Helen, get it out. You're up 800. Just get it out. No, apparently that's like, no, no, because that's what you're doing. You're not supposed to panic. You're supposed to just wait for it to double.

You just wait for it to double. You see what I'm saying? Helen, take it out. You've got 800 free pounds. No, no. I panicked before. I've doubled it before and taken it out. this three grand is my second three grand

because I put three grand in it it doubled and I took the original three grand down so I've already made a three grand profit I'm not joking and this is my second three but it went down just then no three thousand eight hundred and four fifty two wait it's like Horsoniel he does this stuff with me I'm so stressed

market is down in the past 24 hours what does that mean I think it means what you're seeing which is that your money's dropping before our very eyes but you've made 20 grand on crypto yeah why haven't you told me to do this do you want to do it i don't katherine i love you so much i love you so much but you can't like you're you're panicking at me losing what was it six pounds in the last five minutes like you've got to have like fucking bulls of steel man you you you're not a crypto bro you don't get it you know what i mean like i get it like three grand i don't actually get it you scream twice in the last

minute because the amount went down that's because usually i don't look at it now i'm just panicking refreshing it. I'd like three, three thousand pounds. But also, apparently... But I am very stressed. Wait, what's the word I learned? I do play the lotto a lot. Oh.

Honey, honey, honey. This ain't the same. I could be putting my money into this instead, though. Do you want to get in on it? Ah, I don't know. We cannot become a crypto podcast. We're not a financial advisor. Trigger warning.

We're not a financial advisor. That can't be a trigger warning. Can it be like a... Content warning, I guess. Content warning. Money issue. But Sunil said the... people that do best on crypto are

morons because they don't think it. You just put it in and you sort of forget about it and you come back to it later. Because I'm damn it. It's gone down again. 3,895. What do I do now? Forget about it. Close the app. Forget about it. It was on 5,000 the other day.

Oh no. 5,2008. You could have taken it out. I missed it. Do I just have to be on it the whole time, do you reckon? No, no. I just, oh wait, I'll just check it every now and again. I'm a hold of where I feel physically sick. When it gets to six, I'll just take it out.

And then I've made another 3,000. Isn't that insane? That's insane. Isn't that insane? And they really send the money to your bank again? And I've already spent the money from the last one. Why haven't you been telling me about this? What is this? Which one is this?

It's called, what do you mean? Which one is it? How do you put your money in? I got an app called, okay, please, please genuinely. We should talk about this after. No one take actual financial advice to me, but if anyone is curious, the app is called Coinbase.

But just know, it is a volatile market and I could lose everything tomorrow. And I am just, I don't know what I'm doing either. I can't lose money. That's the thing. I did it anyway.

I'm going to Venice in two weeks. Isn't that nice? Well, actually, no. It's with your mom. Yeah, it's a family holiday. This is too stressful. Can we bring on our guest? I need to calm down.

We'll bring on our guests. Shall I look at it one more time? It's so funny because our guest has a business with their ex and you acted like that was a crazy thing to do. That is crazy. We're just chucking three grand into Queen Base. Well, we're still at 3,895. Is it gone then?

No. Let's bring on our amazing guys. Okay, please welcome the incredible Amy's falling to my gift to girl. Woo! I'm sorry, my drag waste knowledge is really bad. I'm fake fan You have to forget I'm straight

You have to remember I know I know you have Correct Why do I have to I wish we got it on camera Okay We'll re-react it

We'll re-react it Oh you've got that No Because it's sick and it's wrong I don't know how this happened I just assumed she's so tall I was like she's all wearing boots Everything will be okay

But then she just insists We don't know Okay Yeah fair Because I'm single Okay I've just never fallen in love with a woman

but I'm in love with a lot of women. Does that make sense? Like it all happened. Look into Amy's eyes. We'll do this now. Don't because I'm going to get flutters and then we're hot again. This is too funny.

Also I can already tell you're too cool for me because you've got a festival wristband on. Oh my God, do you? We went to Radio One's Big Weekend. Oh my God, so cool. It was so far. Wait, who plays at Radio One's Big Weekend? Who doesn't?

Who doesn't? So bring a carter. So, Sabrina Carpenter, but we didn't see her. That was on the Sunday. We did this Saturday. Charlie X, X, though. Oh my God. I've seen Charlie X, X before.

Have you? I literally died. In Poland. I didn't die. I didn't die. It was, I saw her and Solange. Stop. What was this?

Music Festival in Poland. Yeah. Shut. No, the other one. Oh. Wait, no, I'm obsessed with her. It's like, the only time I've been to a music festival when I wasn't performing. But.

And I was like, this is... Because we are performing and it's like a real case of, in my case. Like, in we go, thank you so much. Goodbye! I'm like, I'm dirty. We're in the depression tent with all the comedians. Yeah, truly. It's just a bunch of people who are like, so no one's going to come see us.

Yeah. Oh, it's wicked. You know, I went to a concert that I thought was BBC Radio One's big weekend, but it wasn't. It was just Celine Dion in the park. What? Wait, I want it. Because I thought it was like... Has better.

Is it. And I arrived there for Celine Dion and obviously I was like already losing my mind and her opening act was Josh. Is it Josh Grobin? I know I'm going to know this. Singing empty chairs at empty table for no more. Like that's the most camp thing I've ever heard of my life.

I could barely breathe. She's not gay but she's... Kelly, are you sure you're... She's giving real Danny Minogue. Isn't appreciating musical theatre a straight girl thing? No, darling. No, it's like I'm...

I'm just a gay man. I'm a gay man. So, yeah. I apologies. So, that's on me. Leslie and Amy gets in trouble for saying this. I do get in trouble with the American fans. Are you a musical theatre fan? I am a musical theatre fan.

And you're from Surrey? And I'm from Surrey. We might be the same person. Are you from sorry as well? No, I'm Hampshire but I'm like, I'm on the borders. I'm fleet. Where are you? I'm Walton.

Where's on 10th? Walton on 10th. Yeah. That's the train. Okay, hang on a second. Amy and I were meant to have things in coming. Not easy. Stop this.

We're red-headed dikes, right? We're literally red-red-ed-a-dye! Let's talk about Sun. Um, sun lotion and... No, we'll get to that, although I do have a question about that. Let's start by saying, if you haven't seen this show, Amy is the star of, in my opinion, I kissed a girl. And if you were going to describe it, what would you describe it as to our international listeners? Oh, God, it's just like the L word made into a reality show.

It is that level of chaos. Yeah. But the age variance isn't as good, I'd say. But it's basically like Love Island for lesbians, right? Yeah, basically. But legally, if the BBC is watching, I cannot describe it. I have done it. I've done it.

Cameron Bowhart's done it then. And you're simply nodding. Okay, no, but it's obviously not Love Island because they don't have a villa. They have a massaria. And that's different. It's an important distinction. And we have heart stoppers instead of bombshells. Of course you do.

Of course you do. Help me. What's the different? Instead of like throwing in a bombshell, a new bomb shell, you have new heart stoppers. Okay. And a heart stoppers when they come in just to like stir up the drum. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The new girls, basically, fresh meat. I'm getting it, I'm getting it. But you can't call it fresh meat, so you have to, like, that would be rude. I like referred to myself as old meat. When the new meat came in, I was like, I'm old meat. I think of myself as minced meat because of all the infections. Helen.

I'm like lamb mince, but like on the asda, like with the yellow sticker. Like, is it lamb or is it horrid? If you had to identify as a meat, what meat would you identify as? Lamb mince. I'd say turkey mints. Really? Tarkie lean. Oh my God.

believe. I'm tofu, haven't time? Oh, I'm gonna be a to- tofu mince. Yeah, I'm I'm corn. Oh, God. I love it. Justice for corn. Yeah, justice for corn. Thank you so much for

saying so. That feels unbranded though. It does, it really does. Here's my question, though. How do you get cast on something like this? Do you point yourself forward? So, they did, they, like, it was an open casting thing, but I, they messaged me on Instagram, so. And I was like, okay, hey. But I had like 1,000 followers, just

just my friends. And then, like, You've 1,000 friends. We'll go back to that. We'll go back to that. Hang on a second. So how do they find you? So actually, I think my, a good friend of mine, Izzy, she got bumped into it at Mighty Hoopla, which is like gay Coachella.

Yes, it is. And they were like, thought she was queer. And she was like, my friend Amy, Raging Dyke, would love, probably love to go on. And they message me and I was like, okay. Oh my God, I'm obsessed. I just looked on my Instagram and we were like. Seems like she would. Seems gay.

check whoa is that how everyone got cast or was some people open casting mixed bag i think i think most people were found on instagram but then there was i think beth applied which beth was friends with dan oh my gosh that's fascinating because okay so obviously when i went to do the um press launch it transpired that half the production team are on my girlfriend's football team so of course the gayest of all things i was like classic form of course they are here they all are Hello, hello, hello, hello. I brought Ellen and she was like, I'm going to know anyone when I went in.

I was like, I guess I'll be by myself for the evening. She's gone. Yeah, she's gone. She's gone. The London lesbian web. Honestly, it's very tiresome. I once had the web explained to me by Catherine, two members of the shelf, Ruby and Rachel.

And who else was it? I think we were seeing how quickly we could get from east to West London. Right. It doesn't take long. No. It does not take long. And I was like, how are you friends? How is everyone still cool with each other?

My ex-girlfriend is my best friend in the whole world. My soulmate, my ride or die. This is very sweet. You guys are actually friends on Instagram. Wow. We went traveling together this year. It doesn't seem white to me. That's not right.

I know. Wait a second. It's so platonic. Do you wing women for each other? We do actually. But then it's also like kind of like rivalry because we have the same type. So it's like...

Wait, do you look like my sisters as well because my sisters are lesbians. You got to watch your sisters. Thank you my sisters into femmes. So we're good. Well, we're all, all his films, us. famously fan for fam. Do you think, um...

It's like a different language. I know, is it fun. No, I know what it is now. I know what, I know the words. Keep up. No, I've watched, um, I've watched all the episodes that are out so far. You've learned. You've learned.

Black cat. This, golden. I don't agree with it. I haven't heard of it until I went in there. Okay, thank you for saying that. I was like, I feel old. What? Yeah.

Thank you for saying that. I was like, I feel old. I'm learning. It's like, butch for a mask. Yeah, it does feel like we're sort of tying ourselves enough to not say the boy girl one the boy one and a girl one so we don't say carabina anymore no we do yeah we do that's on brand yeah I love I'm like we so we don't say it do we do we do we rewind how old were you when you day did your ex I was

I was so we met at university I was 20 21 okay till what age 22 it was like a year and a half kind of relationship okay my first love my first and only love and you managed to stay friends it was hard at first I was like heartbroken devastated when we broke it was like messy there was a curry involved curry gate that's known wait wait wait wait you have to say everything now you're speaking at helen's language you like tell us more about the curry what curry what sides delivery or did you pick it up yourself here we go start from the beginning it's five o'clock you get hankering for a curry we're in so I'm like being the best world's best girlfriend cook I a lovely booner prawn booner yeah both our faves anyway we get an argument on the way back to her

And we're walking back like literally lived opposite each other. That's what was messy as well. And also she's from Surrey. So we never escaped. And that was kind of the problem. But I digress.

You should have seen the argument We had when she cooked me chicken And tritso And I hate cooked tritzo Wait, am I the problem? Whoa You don't seem like Not the problem

But you don't I know I'm having some internal reflection Can I say though If somebody If somebody revealed to me That they don't listen And don't know me at all

When I was hungry That's what I mean. I think I would be like, okay, I'm feeling hungry and unseen. I think I could see that descending into chaos. There's a lot going on here. Yeah, there is. How do you hate cooked chorizo? Yeah, I love trichita raw.

I'll eat a whole steak, but cooked. It just taints the food. It's aromatic. We're so different. Whatever happened to lesbians being vegetarian? I know, I don't know. Miss skip me. And having short nails.

You're really, wow. You really are getting lots of, I mean, it's interesting. I'm like, why, the modernity. Fem-for-Fens, speaking of, I feel like you've gotten such a weird reaction to that. I know. I feel like... Well, I kind of get it...

I don't. In terms of, like, for me, I'm, like, clutching at straw and fens who are also into fums out here, but everyone's like, it's not rare. And I'm like, oh, is that the reaction you're getting? That's the reaction. It's like, yeah, it's like, everyone's ferville.

And I'm like, are they d'Ivo? Are they, way? Not in sorry. Yeah, not in sorry. But, like, also, in the mask of rare, everyone coming in me to going to the ferns like, hey. And they're like, I'm for mask, and I'm like, I haven't found, I find the reaction really strange.

Does even people, I've had, when people talk about you are like, A, you're very funny, B, what's your phone number? And then C, they're like, femme for femme, like, really, like, it's almost like there's an implausibility to it, which I find really strange. I'm just like, it's not, I mean, is it that shocking than a lesbian fancy girly girls? Girly girls, yeah. I, but yeah, I think it's also, because also like, it's such a spectrum as well. And like, going in that, I found, like, the spectrum of all. what I originally thought was mask and originally thought was femme, it was way wider. Uh-huh.

Turns out I'm super firm. Yeah. And I think that's also like a thing of like me being so fom and then wanting someone femer than me. Do you want someone fimmer than you? I know there's that night called butch please. Yes. Is there like a bitch please or like is there like a femme night?

There should be. Then you could all just like go together and just sort of like I give me to each other's nails and like, I don't know, giggle like this. We don't like salty things, we like sweet and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then my sister. That, oh my God, you have to stop encouraging her

into thinking that she's... That's what you're all doing! I knew it, gosh. No one's talking about it anymore, but you're all bloody at it. I knew it. I heard. You say this in the last episode

and I was like, I'm all about the scissor train and chew, too. Are you? Wow, I guess you're... And that's normal. And that's normal. And can we normalize that. You're just too long nails,

gillering. Like, we couldn't get her ahead. I'm not going down there. I did see my lipstick. I'm excuse me. You must be a level of flexible, but I'm not. Yeah.

To be the cramp is real. Cramp is real one time and I was like, oh, it's such aick. I fell off the bed. I got cramp on the bus. It was an absolute nightmare. Because these new buses, the seats on the right hand side

have less leg room than they do on the left. And then people get on. got to cramp my legs in and then you get cramped and it's an nightmare so I'm saying I understand. Yeah, I guess the exact same. A girl fell over on the bus. Bless her.

She's listening. Oh no, I hope you're okay. She dropped her phone and then went to go get it and she went to go get her phone and the bus moved. And I literally had to know and was like, oh. People falling over in public

is so funny. It's like comedy gold. It really is funny. I think it's kind of sad sometimes though when you see it that or like just the occasional like think a kid will do where you're like, why are we even writing though? Like there's just objectively someone

falling down just is one. Yeah, I'm sorry, it is funny. Okay, here's my question. How did you not get sunburned seriously? My pale, pale Irish skin as well. I did. There's like one moment where like I've got this like, there's that swimsuit that I wear that's like. The blue bando? Yeah, the blue

bando with the one shoulder. I'm watching. I can really tell. And then I like get a burn then and next time I'm wearing bikini, there's just this like white pale line. But all the other I was so brown. I know. I gradually got paler and paler and paler.

You'd have to, you'd have to be hiding in the shades. And then, because my fake town was washing off. No. Did you fake town? Yeah. Bless you. I can't have, I literally can't have a shirt. Also, it's so comfortable sitting in the sun for that long.

When people are like, I just want to lounge in the sun, I'm like, why? I love to lounge in the sun, but it doesn't make me feel sexy. It makes me feel like, oh, where he didn't kind of sleepy. And also like, when you're very aware that there's cameras around. I was like, any cushion. I was going to say, how did you find that? Because I find, I don't know about you, Helen,

but I find watching myself really difficult. And like, given that there's like, so I and my friends, every other Monday night we meet up and we watch the episodes together as a group. I know we're so lame. You're actually doing that. You're so.

Yeah, we do it. You're not invited? It's lesbians. It's lesbians. Catherine likes to keep me away from a lot. It's lesbians and one gay man's am. And we, so we watch it. I mean, there are some buys in the group.

shout out to Georgie. Okay, I would like to be invited. You're not. Okay, fine. Okay, you can come. But anyway, we have this every second Monday where you watch the episodes together and everyone saves them up and then, but that's so fun for me. But if I heard people were doing that about a show I was on, I'd be like,

stop vlogging on it. Stop logging on. So I, this Sunday just gone, I did a watch party for charity where we like got, you know, sold a bunch of tickets. No. But then you have to watch it. And I realized, like, as I was on my way, I was like, wait, I can actually have to watch it. Yeah.

With other people, because I watch, naturally I watch it by myself, like, twice over. Of course. Freaking out. Yeah. And then watching it with everyone was intense and like, oh, the cringe. But don't you? It's so funny, because at the press songs, they were all watching it, like, through their fingers. Yeah, of course.

It was like screaming physically uncomfortable. It was so funny. It was so loud, nobody could hear the show. But then it felt like you guys all had each other. It must be weird I don't think it's the kind of thing I'd want to watch by myself Yeah

See I'd rather watch me by myself I feel comfortable doing that Like if I need to watch something To be like what part do they use Or like I'm just curious I can do it by myself But if anyone's watching me watch myself I'm like no no no no

No no there's too many I'm in the Truman show Yeah maybe but don't you find When you watch it as a group You saw like I saw you de-stress a little bit When everyone laughed Because you were so funny That was the first time I'd seen it

So like that was our like initial reactions as well and you never know how I'm going to come across. Yes. But do you know you come across as funny? I didn't know if people were laughing at me or with me, but I'll take it. I'll laugh to laugh. Oh no, they're definitely laughing with you. Always with you.

You're such a babe. Yeah, you're so funny on it. Thanks guys. I was just literally having so much fun with it. That's why. Like, it was just so genuine and just like trying to, you do forget the cameras are there. Do you?

There's times where you know you're filming. But like at the same time, I'm not used to being in front of cameras. Question. Are the cameras? like they are in Big Brother where you can't there's not actually camera operators there

or are their camera operators just wandering around it's like mixed bags so when we're filming specific like if on the day to day it's just those little cameras like and you know you have an interesting juicy conversation when all of a sudden it's like Big Brother's watching

yeah it's so funny as well like one time we were just like playing around there's times when we know we're not filming because there's only a certain like it's not a massive production like it is with like Love Island and TV. obviously there was a career of like a hundred people

which was insane to be like for me like that's so random but they're like would be times where we were filming certain things where like they didn't have enough people to be filming us were just chilling or whatever so we'd just be like mucking about whatever

we couldn't talk about specific things that was called being on ice so like we couldn't talk about stuff it would just be like which favorite color so you're not allowed to like go into any relationship stuff or who you fancy because they want to capture the raw reactions interesting and like

there was this was one time where Fioranza was like playing with the camera trying to get his attention and like all of a sudden it just went and like she screamed so hard it was so funny she was like I need that footage I was like

that footage that's funny are you guys all friends yeah we're all really close okay good that's so nice it's a fun thing to share with people as well have you filmed the reunion

we have filmed the reunion we have filmed the reunion I know I can't wait The drama. The tea that I heard at the press on that I've been having to keep down. I'm not even telling Ellen and every week we watch it

and they're all giving their theories and I'm like, you're so wrong. Is it like you're so wrong? Oh my God. I know. I mean. Okay, we'll talk after it.

Truly. There is a... You couldn't write it. Somebody said to me casually something at the press launch and I was like, excuse me one. And she's like yeah and I was like, I did that with someone the other day

and they were like, what? I was like, someone at gay times and I was like, no. that article's gonna run. She must have seen the panic in my eyes being like, what? And then she was like, oh, yeah, well. And I was like, oh my God.

Helen. This is the most excruciating. No, I know. It's like so nice. It is, I am. I don't need to tell you, but I can't tell you. It's like, why? You don't want to know, you want to see a play out

and then find out because it'll be devastating otherwise. I'm kind of worried they might not cut it. They might keep it in. I will do a live video being like, wait till you'll hear. They won't. It's like a real househouse. It's like a dog come in the massarero.

No, you just, I can't even, I can't even, I can't even, I've got some more questions, that reality, too. Who does the food shop for the Mathria? Well, it was so, like, it was so lovely. Like, I'm so bad at making decisions, so, like, every day with, like, lunch and dinner, it's just like, come get your food.

I'm like, yay! Wait, and they cook it for you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it was, like, catering. We had to do breakfast, but, like, that was so fun. We'd wake up, and the fridge would be full of, like, avocados, and, like... Oh, stop! And, like, is I just like salmon?

And I was like, I've got our sled to eat, sound right. Oh my god they really haven't. Also you've just been at least being like we're students. Yeah literally. Once every blue moon we make a prawn and it roans a relationship. They do Italian catering. Well it was in Italian and it was just well sometimes it was Italian and we had taco night like it was just different food all the time. Tacno night where they really have got the lesbian thing. Yeah yeah yeah. It's like for sushi then tacos then finger foods yeah yeah many kishers. I was always like I would never want to do reality to be because I was always worried I'd be hungry, but it sounds like

you were fed. I was too well-fired. And were there like ice creams just to grab at any time? There was actually in the frizzar, yeah. You'd hope so, because it's Italy, you'd want like a gelato man. This is your concern on a dating show. Don't you think? Cool down. Because to have all those emotions and then be hungry. Oh, and by the way, I'm not trying to like, I don't know Amy very, very well, but like,

sounds like you're not your best self when you're hungry. No, I'm not. From the true of the show and the food is set. Yeah, yeah. Could you imagine like trying to like fall in love with people and also be hungry? Speaking of, I have another question Go on Okay, so here's my issue Here's my, my food's less

Of a concern for me Really? Yeah, here's what I was thinking Is the first part of the question The second is a theory Okay Does anybody have sex in there? They do

They do! But it's not shown Oh my God, God bless the BBC I know, but like With the boys, they didn't Oh, that's what I'm told anyway Don't hold me to that What, they didn't have sex

But it's like, well okay fair If you're trying to have sex It's like a TK man It's a bit more obvious Yeah But like with the kids I was like yeah we would just be like

oh my god well because here is my second theory which is that I felt for like say like couples that were in there that are in there together from the start like Prilla Renee and

yeah were Kara and Georgia then you've got like I think if you hang out with somebody too long and you're just kissing it could turn into friendship even if just because you're like

oh curious do you know what I mean if you're like I don't know but that wasn't an issue clearly not was there a bed that you you'd be like the fat, the one that's in the corner, like, you have that tonight. Pira and A, we're like in the middle,

and preer of bloody snores, we should have moved them to the corner, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But there was like, there was two, I snort to be fair, I do, I'm sorry, it's like, who are these women who don't have hay fever? How do you snore, do you do nose or mouth? I'm a nose snore, but it's like, only if I've had, like, a drink.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, no, too, I only have had a drink. No, every, I can snore sometimes just like, when I'm on the bus with my headphones and I'm like, I wait myself up. Yes, me doing them. Oh, that's so cute. Have you ever done that?

And the shock of waking up before you farted. No. No, I mean either. I mean either. That was obviously, Andrew, definitely you write that down. Yeah, yeah. That was just fanta. When you go, joke.

I do think you're astonishingly brave to sleep in a room with that many women that you fancy. It just feels like it's my most embarrassing self. I know. I know. snow spray or the strip or the... No, I just hoped that... Because I hadn't really had a drink,

they was gonna be okay. Wait, could you not drink? No. Well, we had like two drinks a night, depending on the night. What? And it was like, they were like spread out so far because...

But I'm so glad they did because I would have really made a fool of myself. Okay, fair enough. Okay, fair enough. It's like a health and safety insurance thing. It must be. I'm just trying to imagine kissing someone for the first time sober.

Diva, like, oh, it was so tough. I like, she was shaking. I was like, can I not get like, one to get it? to shop please please did you just call katherine diva i loved it i love it the joke hold the word diva has on me diva's fine at the press launch every single mother every single 22 year old lesbian called me mother and i was like fucking shoot me in the face no but it's amazing i'm mother as well okay fine but i was like i feel a thousand years old especially when it was married with ellen being

asked by everyone were you on the show and i was like the fuck right charlie molless mother and she's young at the moon okay fine i'll take it okay fine carry on i think a mother's a good thing like that you're an icon. We just got a comment about that actually on YouTube. Let me pull it up. But yeah, we're saying that Mother is not an age thing. It is a positive affirmation.

It's a mindset. Okay, fair enough. I'll take it. It's a lifestyle. That's great. I'll take it. Would you? Diva.

It doesn't feel right. I'm just like, it came from us in Australia and I was like, divot down under. And I'm like, divot it out. Yes, I love to. So wait, based on, if you were going in again, what advice would you give yourself? Oh, that's nice.

Thank you. I've thought about it. Okay, I'll be you. My name's Amy and I am going into the villa. No, to the Masaria. Get it together. Cut that. Diva.

Cut that. Diva. I love Trombunas. I'm going into the Maseria for the first time. Like, what would you say that would help me out? I'd say pack more pairs of boots because two one and a half. Good. Maybe, maybe.

Flipop. Look at our paper. I know, I'm Amy. I don't wear boots. Oh no, I'm you. Yeah, yeah, you do. Amy wears boots all day, every day, even with a swimsuit. Yeah.

Do you ever get hot calves? Yeah. Yeah. I honestly, I don't know what I was thinking, but I pat, when I was packing my suit, guys, did, I pack, no pairs of burgers. What? Why? I guess I thought everyone would lend you some. Yeah.

Everyone will have them spare. They all have them out of their ears. Yeah. I've got two pairs of Birkenstock. Oh, she is gay. I love them. I love them. And guess what I bought you.

today. I haven't told you this yet. CROX. Oh. Welcome. I've gone back in. But I've got the, what are they called the gibbets? Yeah. To decorate it with. What did you get? I got one daisy. Okay, cute. Is that anything else? Well, I wanted to get, they got lots of Disney characters and I'm a Disney adult. Yeah. But they weren't like super available on the Crocs website. So I was like, maybe it's an excuse to go to Disney World again and then like collect my characters. Back to I kiss a girl, please. Okay. I just wanted you to know that. I love that. Thank you. So back more boo. boots yeah pack my boots just don't stress so much I was really stressed

yeah it was scary but like also just like I think it was day so day two the first two days time had never moved that slowly in my life really Demi was in there for like two days yeah she was like my whole journey that's so funny honestly the two days was so ill-oriented and my dad was having major heart surgery as well what yeah on the second day and so like oh my god that's a lot yeah it was crazy so like they're like you like Did you check it with him? Yeah, so they let me call him before. And like, you know, there's that scene where Georgia's having, when Georgia talks about

the word lesbian. Yeah. I'm not there because I'm on the phone to my dad. Oh, God. And he's, like, in hospital. But luckily, he's all fine. He's amazing. And the team was amazing.

The, like, production team was amazing. That's so nice. Like, on hand. I was probably in a better situation than my family back home, like, with all the World Fair team. Yeah. You hear so many, like, you hear so many, like, things that production. No, honestly, I have nothing bad to say about the production at all.

That's so amazing. The crew was all queer as well. Like all these, like, lesbians. The football team. Yeah, the football team. Yeah. And like, honestly, I get, like, some of them are closest with the crew

in the name cast. Like, I love them. Wow, this is so exciting. Shut the fuck up. Yeah. Everyone was queer. Not everyone. There's a few.

But most of the crew. But there must have been, like, people having vibes with the crew more than they were with the cars. There were, like, crushes. And it was, like, from the girls. Obviously, everyone's, like, really professional. But, like, the girl is,

I assume they have to be, like, Sarah you've done your bit then you can leave. Is it Sarah that, yeah, the housekeeper, you'd be like, okay, thank you, bye. She's so iconic. Yeah, because I feel like, mm-hmm, quickly, get her out, get her out. Yeah, that'll do, thank you. Yeah, exactly, just running out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you feel like, are you getting, how are you finding the attention? Because obviously, like, you did go all of you from being like, I guess unknown. Yeah. Well, yeah, what we're probably doing? Yeah, well, you're part of your thousand friends. Yeah. But are you finding it a lot? yeah it's a lot the DMs are a lot are the DMs are hypersexual some of them yeah I've been

many threesomes coming my way oh my god how exciting from the straight people no I know I know quite iconic but I hadn't even thought about that because were you just doing like a normal job before is it just finishing uni yeah no so I so I'm 25 I graduated a few years ago now yeah and you did medical science random and then I did marketing after so that pipeline yeah the classic medical to marketing pipeline. But now you made... Marinate jewelry full time. And it's so good.

It's so good. Wait, didn't you get a ring? I'm getting a ring. I'm getting a ring. The dikewarm. Yeah. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed.

I'm obsessed. Yeah. How did you learn to do that? So in lockdown, I was just like looking for something to do. It's something to keep my hands busy. I'm raging a raging idea to do. So what? You just became a blacksmith.

Yeah. No, I just like basically my friend had these spoon rings, which is the, it's like a vintage teaspoon. I've still, yeah, like, mold it. And so, like, I was just, like, gonna buy, my friend got, my sister got my mom for my birthday, and then I lost it, obviously. Yeah, of course.

And then I was like, yeah, ADHD. And then I was like, went to go buy one, and I was like, hang on a minute, I can literally just make this. So gay, like, what's more gay than, like, I can do it myself. I can make a, I can do it, yeah.

Wow. And then, yeah, just learned how to do it. It took me, spent way more, more money than it would cost me to, like, buy one myself, but. But now you have a business, it's making a ring. Yeah.

And then, so this is just like without higher on flame, just me and a hammer, whereas then I'm getting into like the wax carving and the casting. And it's all, yeah, so far. What? Whoa. What's wax carving? It's how they make the rings.

So you make it out of wax first and then you make a mould of that wax and then pour the silver in. You're a woman of many surprises. I used to work in accessories. Yeah. Did you? Same thing. So just so you know it's still in the same industry.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, do you also have a wank in the workshop upstairs? Because I used to. Stop!

In the storeroom. Don't touch that merchandise. Do you not touch the merchant? Don't be touching those heads out. That's a hand sanitiser. I just love to exacerb. I just love it. That is like the most iconic thing.

Jewry making is so cool. Nice. Yeah, I just love fashion and then like love jewelry. This is amazing. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to wear. You know that TK.K. Max do the best jewelry. Everyone always...

That's a really rude thing to say in front of me. You've got to get your stuff shown in TK. Max. You have to. You know what? Let's set up a meeting with them. We'll figure this out afterwards. We'll get it going. Would you, based on the reaction you've had,

and indeed the offers of threesomes, would you go in again? I absolutely would. Just for the holiday. Like, I literally had the best time out of that. For the holiday. I was hiding under the furniture. I was like, I'm not leaving. Yeah.

You have to drag me out. How long was it all in? So, Phil. coming wise it was about four weeks that I was away there was a week before where we were in a hotel for isolation because a nice hotel yeah it was really nice hotel we were allowed out at certain points in the day because there's obviously like we didn't want to bump into the other girls and then ruin everything um but like we're getting rated on hand and fur if I ever need anything to drop it in and then what's that message I love this level of appreciation when you start working in

television you're just like oh my god everything's amazing yeah in three years we'll see you and you'll be like oh god i've never been putting a hotel for a week and just what's happening if i wanted something that sounds insane you never that's for COVID isolation when i did um but it felt quite like it was like this COVID still a thing yeah listen take it if that's what they oh no somebody has to get me my every wish darn we um when I did last one laughing yeah yeah yeah and beforehand they couldn't let you know who else was going into the room so there was a lot of like fox strot tango is going to the bathroom fox trot tango is going to the bathroom fox trotting goes going to the bathroom you'd be like and then a man would just stand outside the door

while you'd wait and you'd like for goodness sake you're like I know it's it's it's it's LOL Arland like I think we're gonna assume Ashley B I was gonna be in there I think we're gonna be like I probably can guess who the person next door with the loudest laugh and we know right we'd figure it out if I didn't know before Irish people are the loudest gang so like you could just hear everyone in the other like they might have been three doors down but it's like I can hear that one getting her makeup done come on but anyway here is my question we obviously give advice on the show and there's a lot of advice giving on your show what kind of advice giver do you think of yourself as sometimes like sometimes I can be super earnest and then sometimes

it's just like completely take the purse okay what would you say your friends come to you for if they're like what kind of advice are they looking to you for jewelry jewelry fashion curry recipe of course um what says I'd like to turn this thing off so I fucking done to be fair I think like what's been so nice is with the reaction that we've had you know being the first like sat-pick dating show it's just when people you know asking for advice on coming out which is also a lot of pressure because it's very situational yeah yeah but just like you know how can I I've had a lot of people being like I grew up in a similar situation in private school like felt not comfortable enough to like that environment and it's just like giving advice that way and

yeah it's so freeing coming out honestly yeah it's the best thing to do okay good so you you're getting a lot of like what up mother day tell us how to do this okay interesting oh wait are you a mother diva yeah okay it's like you're not even following you don't i am i am are you yeah yeah mother all you take into this is that scissoring's in yeah i always knew that i knew that actually katherine i knew it went out mother's always been in wait who's the motherfucker we all own If only you'd join us Andrew do we have a listener problem We do

Yay Andrew It is a very tantalising subject line Oh is it How exciting This is the subject line My ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend Are dating Oh my

How are you doing a big reaction That is your entire personal life I'm assuming and I know My ex-girlfriend and my ex-friend are dating. Oh, your idea is happening in my life, actually. Constant. The crossover of my friendship group is crazy.

But I'm obsessed with both of you going, oh. No, but we know it's a big deal. Yeah, the ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend. Yeah, the pan of it all is very exciting. Go on. So this is from G. Hi, G.

Hi, G. Oh my God, my musical. Helen, how did it take you that long? I was loving it on your behalf. I told you she was funny. All right, let's go. G starts very kindly. First off, you're both amazingly hilarious,

and I can't wait to come to the live tour show in Bristol. So nice. Bristol sold out, G, I hope you have a ticket. No, it didn't. Yeah, it did. Good for us. Good for us. That's your big shock?

Okay, fine, go on. So, into the meat of the problem, G says, a couple of years ago, I started dating my best friend, Bonnie. This is in quotation marks. Okay, okay. But we'll use the name Bonnie. Oh, gosh. I really hope that Gia's named the ex-boyfriend Clyde.

Come on. That's a mis-trick, unfortunately, it's not. So, Bonnie, we've been best friends since primary school. Honestly, she's the only person who has ever truly seen me for who I am. Our relationship broke down when we both fell into restrictive eating and unintentionally compared numbers, which sadly turned our relationship competitive and toxic. Oh, no. So we broke up.

Do you know the gender of G. It does not that particularly matters? I believe female. Okay. Just because that can, yeah, that can be a... a sad trend in lesbian dynamics go on um there she continued six months ago i started dating jake my intention was a casual sexual relationship but soon he made me promise to never leave and said he that's so sapphic it is quite selfish i should have scared this before um yeah

bonnie's the gym bro yeah yeah yeah okay go on you're gonna have to explain all of us Jake's the lesbian. Go on. Jake said, Jake said, promised to never leave and that he hated himself whenever I wasn't around.

I've done that before. People really don't like it, but it does make them stay a little bit longer. I'll kill myself. I'll do it. Don't attack me. You're attempting me. That's so good.

I just get a time stamp for a trigger warning. Oh, I get it again. Why do I always do this? I'll just get a time stamp for a trigger warning. Everything's going fine. Go on. Sorry.

I broke up with Jake and he called me emotionally immature and resents me now. So that's the background, which leads us to the current situation. Me and Jake go to the same college and I overheard him boasting yesterday that he, quote unquote, has a new target. This girl called Bonnie. Target acquired. Yikes. Me and Bonnie's mutual friend was shocked that I didn't know about them getting together, but that Bonnie is just leading him on for a laugh. Apparently, Bonnie is doing this because Jake is my ex, but he doesn't know Bonnie is mine.

I kind of get that she wants entertainment, et cetera, as she's lived a limited life due to her chronic fatigue syndrome. Recently, I truly miss Bonnie as a friend, but the whole thing with Jake makes it so complicated. I ache to reconnect with her. What do I do, gee? I'm so too much. Can you give me... I hate... Wait, one second.

I'm lost. Can you give me a recap for that whole thing? I can do a little... Yeah, sorry. Okay, so essentially what's happened there is. that G was dating Bonnie. Yes. Bonnie and G.

Best friends. Fell into a toxic dynamic where they were comparing restrictive eating. And numbers and stuff. Yeah, yeah, okay. They broke up. Yes.

Then, G. briefly dated Jake for a fun fling but turned into like an actual relationship. Never leave. Yeah. And then... I love Jake.

Then G did end it with Jake. Oh, aren't he won't? Then G did end things with Jake and Jake was like, you're emotionally immature and resents G. At college. And has over... heard Jake at college saying that he has a new

target and that it's Bonnie, who apparently is just leading him on because Bonnie knows Jake is G's dead. He's like, power to have. I know, but actually Jake doesn't know that they are X's, that Bonnie and G are. And so, yeah, so now

G wants to reconnect with Bonnie because they were best friends. And G. Akes to reconnect with Bonnie. So Jake needs to go. Do you need G. Eakes in a romantic? Well, no one says ache without it being romantic. It feels like a pretty romantic.

It doesn't feel like a platonic lying. It's not like, I'd love to hang out. Yeah, yeah. No, I think you can ache for a best friend. I've ached for like a friend who's like, I don't know, been away or like been busy with work. I've been like, I want you, I want a cuddle. That's why me and Emma Black are doing two musical theatre nights this week. That's quite sweet.

That's so cute. But it does feel like you should just cut out the musicals and get to happen some sex. No, it's me girls. Okay, fair enough. Me girls. The gayest choice. Yeah, they're gay. It's so gay.

Are you joking? Renee Rapp. Rame? The mother lesbian. Hello? Who's Reney? No, wait. No, don't do this.

Don't do this. It's Tina Faye. Wait, who are you talking about? Oh my God. We invite a lesbian to our house. Apologies. And then we insults her. What are you doing?

It's Reney Rapp. Renee Rapp. It was in. original Broadway and the film and the film but she was in the original Broadway can I confess something I haven't seen the film neither have I actually okay well what the old one I know the old one obviously but I haven't seen the new one she also in sex life of college girls and she plays lesbian femme for well femme for everyone yeah I mean yeah such a good show she's dating tower she was not the original um don't be at

you don't know who she is and that's fine. But I'm, I remember when Mean Girls came out. That's not the original Broadway cast recording. No, that was like Taylor something, Taylor's. Yeah, but she was on Broadway and it's very iconically in the film. I'd like to apologize to everyone. Yeah, you should. Sometimes we have gaps in our knowledge and sometimes we let ourselves down,

but I'm actually here to solve G's problem and not to solve this. Okay, fine. Do I need to apologize to the queer community? No, but I do think we, well, actually, yeah, okay, fine. This camera? On the 28th of May, 24 at 2.12 p.m. Helen Bauer stated, who is Renee Rapp?

The reaction made her heart hurt, and I am, as a representative of Helen Bauer, by being her mortified by my lack of knowledge. I'd like to extend an apology specifically to Andrew, Amy and Catherine and the entire queer queer queer community as a whole

I will do better I will be listening I will be learning Perfect Thank you I think that's good It's also like hello She's blah

She's got a huge boo Yeah She's got an English actress So do I She's an English girlfriend It's like come on It's not about English Yeah I think so

Crazy also I think publicity's on shut your mouth I'm holding out for Renee but oh really but she wears so many trousers yeah but she's just perfect you're so confusing

I don't even understand myself even here's my real question with Femda Remains who carries the bags but apparently you fine yeah what I know don't carry all the bags just wear a backpack oh two fans wearing bag yeah god god forbid

well the what they call the Fijal Craven one wait so back to G I wanted to deal with G I wanted to deal with Jay. Amy, sauce. That is tough. I'm team Bonnie.

I love that she's like getting revenge for her, for our girl, G. Okay, so what do you think G should do? I think she needs to follow her heart and get back with money. But is that what G said? I don't know.

That's what you want for them. I just think you just need to like, Jake is shooting shots. Jake just needs to go and your friendship will come back. And I think, you said college. I'm going to assume six form college. instead of like... American College.

American College. But even, wait, it's around the same like... Yeah. 16 to 21 age group, right? Like, Jake is just going to go and he's going to be a funny incident story. Do you know what I mean? And then these old female friendships

slash female relationships, that's more significant. That sounds like a way bigger thing. I think it feels really big at the moment, but I promise you, Jake will disappear. But how do you make this? First steps towards being friends of the next.

Well, this is where my expertise comes. Please tell us. You talk to us about your wheelhead. Make a booner. Yeah. You know what? Actually, I did it really badly. Did you?

I just happened to be COVID as we broke up. And then, like, I went home from uni because I, like, had a big mental breakdown. Because it was, you know, my sapphic relationship was ending. Yeah, you were gay and you and you don't need to. Sorry, I was blinking at you because I was like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, next. And then, so I went home and then all my friends had to go home

and nobody could hang out. It's almost like I, you know, manifested it. And because everyone was at home, I kind of like, nobody could hang out without me and then friendship group couldn't go further. And then when we came back to uni, I just had to put the work in to be friends and like, you just really have to let it put your feelings inside

and just be besties. And now we're literally like, in several, it's weird. That's so nice. What are the chances of another global pandemic? Because you got lucky with that. With the mental breakdown and Kelvin, you got so lucky with that. Yeah, that's tough.

I do think there's something in what you're actually describing, I think, is a sort of like required break. Yeah. Where like, it seems like they've also had that too. A bit of alone time. And that actually that does lend itself to their being a like capacity for you to be friends now. Yeah.

Could they audition for the college musical together or something and make sure Jake's not involved in it? Like, be like, Hey, I don't know that's true. and then he shows up to win band with his like, I'm assuming clarinet or oboe and then you're like psych we're actually in the college musical

we're in percussion lull and then that's like a way that he's sort of like isolated and then you've got your friendship because percussionists stick together don't they? I would here's my little piece of advice and it's my only experience of meeting up with an ex

what helped was as like a start point was like maybe not launching into a chat about the like doing an autopsy of the relationship immediately maybe having like a hello we're going to talk about something else like maybe Jake is quite a useful third party because you can be like I don't need to meet up and let you know about this thing and also like is everything okay and maybe don't get into the whole relationship to have a like neutral conversation first and then like everything doesn't have to be solved in the first conversation do you know what I think so as well everything doesn't have to be solved in the first conversation that is really small

If you actually want to be friends, yeah, I think that's probably, it actually probably won't let you. And maybe don't have that conversation over alcohol because it's messy. No, no, God, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee. I'd say one drink might be good just as far as, just talk. I think, but meet in the middle of the day so that that's less likely to get. Oh, that's more time for drinking. Yeah. Also, less likely that you've lined your stomach properly.

Have a protein bar, have a dominoes. They open at 11 a.m. And then go for your first drink, is what I would say. Yeah, I mean, if you're... Have a Gavaskon. Yeah. Definitely. Wow.

That's a lot to get in before this one meeting. Oh, if you want it, you can. Any other problems, Andrew? Yeah. Amy, do you have time for one more problem? Yeah, I've got... Nothing to do. Okay, great.
