Thank you. And Melissa have thrown me this baby shower. Well, I was aware of it, but I had nothing to do with it. I'm not being honest. And I just, I must show you that this is tiny themed and this is a mini dummy. I'm not going to put it in my mouth because I don't want to get ill. It's a mini baby chino. And it's a mini teddy bear and a mini bottle.

Should I take the bottles home? Helen's mum who's our lovely producer Jackie He's made the bunting from... Shout out Jackie The fact you do that you are That's a mum a hen Isn't it? It's just so cute

Also I bet you feel so like So much reward When you do something from scratch like that It's so sweet and so grateful Guys thank you so much love you And we've got an array of cakes We have an array of cakes So many

So we asked the tini's For some advice on Sophie's baby shower And we've got two listeners Oh, no. Hey girls, a regular tiny who listens to Wednesdays every week. I have two little boys and they are my world. My advice to Sophie is, don't forget about you. Every new mum needs some time to themselves and some treats. Make sure Jamie waits on you hand and foot. He needs to bring you water snacks, change baby snappies, basically whatever you need. My husband was amazing when our boys were born and his support made such difference. Sophie, remember, you're the boss now. Not that you weren't already. I love that. I really do feel like the blessing of being pregnant is like the respect the man has for you like fuck me. Jamie Litch, she just everything I say he thinks is yeah and it's like I could I could meet in the fall as I can do a fuck up and he's just like it's okay. I'm like this can stay they really really like admire you like they look at the bump

or like well exactly exactly I wouldn't expect anything less to be honest no and not would I But I think sometimes people can surprise you So it's good that you've had everything That you've needed I agree From Jamie and you've taken advantage of it Which is fantastic I really have taken advantage of it

But I will say also like you kind of really do need their help Of course you fucking do I don't I don't understand single mothers how they do it Honestly Like my hair like you are heroes I have so much fucking respect Like it takes like a whole fucking village It takes the fucking village

It really does Okay right should we read the second one Hey, Sophie and Melissa, I gave birth to my first, a gorgeous baby girl named Loucheer in August, and I can't even begin to describe how amazing life feels right now. Sophie, my biggest piece of advice is to enjoy every single second of the newborn phase. Don't feel guilty for staying at home. The best days I spent with Lucia had been on the sofa watching real housewives and just staring at her. You speak my language.

It's the most special time for you and your family, sending lots of love. Can I just say I'm most excited for that, like, month? I can't wait. You just don't leave the house. I sent you. I was like, this is the coziest thing I ever see. So cozy. It's like this week old baby and just tuts and then she's like got her cozy coffee and I'm like,

you just really like, you can like stay in bed all day. And they just lay there and they're just all. And they do the newborn scrunch. Have you heard of it? I can't bear the newborn scrunch. I keep looking back at like Bella's, my sister's baby's old videos of her when she was like a week old and like so many scrunches. But I didn't know what it was because I hadn't had a baby and I was like,

and they like scrunch up and I'm like. I cannot bear it. It's very exciting. Thank you so much and congratulations on Lucia. That is so, so cute. August. Oh, she must be like, what, like three months old now? Lovely name as well, Lucia, gorgeous.

Love Lucia. Guys, thank you so much. That's very appreciated. And we love you so much. I also have a little voice note to play you. My Tim, I'm so sad and gutted that I'm not going to be at your baby shower, but I'm sending you so much love. You are the most beautiful pregnant woman.

I have ever laid my eyes on. I miss you so much. It literally hurts my heart. And I will see you in December when I'm back, which is not long. And you will have a gorgeous little tiny baby who I'm so excited to me, who is so beyond loved already. And I miss you and I love you. And I hope you have the best baby shower ever.

Oh my God, Timmy. We love her so much. Right, can we, I just could spend the whole episode talking about Tim because she's a TikTok icon and she is. She is genuinely Angelina Jolina. She's the most famous person on TikTok. Oh my God. She's video coming.

No, but it's her, right. So for the listeners, we all know who Tim is. She's Ruby Adler. We know that she's moved to Australia with her wonderful boyfriend. Yeah. And she is getting pat, paparazzied all over the shop in Australia. They are videoing her coming out of the airport. The fucking Pilates.

Like, she can't do, put a foot. She can't catch a break. She's having to literally put her sonies on and being like. She is. but if you watch them you can see her clock them and she's like oh my god I spoke to her this morning she was like Gavin was like

oh why have you done that because she put on her story like landing back from like Napa Valley like landing back to Sydney like can't wait to come home or whatever so these people tracked her flight and she's like oh my god but yeah but Gavin was like you're so silly for doing that obviously and she's like yeah but I'm sorry I'm not used to this like they're obsessed with them

but Ruby was like it's so funny because they just don't have celebrities in Australia So like, well it's funny I went on that guy's TikTok who took the TikTok so I was like Who is he? He's a bit of a weirder He follows Justin Bieber around apparently He follows a lot of talking Anyone who's celebrity that goes to Australia

But I mean like she's up there with Margot Robbie She's up there with like Damon and Stefan Like they were in one of the shots I know Oh my God wait can we talk about your birthday thing With the Stefan mask on guys On nearly parents It was my birthday episode

So Jamie made the whole team dress up as Stefan and wear masks and also got a carb or cut out of Stefan Salvatore and I love him so much I'm taking it home where it is I've never seen something so amazing in my life Melissa take one home because honestly I gave him a kiss look at his gorgeous lips I'm watching it at the Mo right now are you still into Damon because I'm true true Stefan I opened my eyes to Stefan a little bit he is gorgy isn't he he is so when he gets with Caroline, I'm just like, oh, God, you're so fucking, he's so consistently fit, whereas Damon's jaw gets a bit punchy on one pit, then he like, I think he gets a bit of jaw

Botox, or loses bit of timber, one or the other, he does some mastobotox. All of them, every character, season one, is so unbelievable. I was like, I will say, can I just say, Damon, I know we talk about this a lot, guys, but you just have to let us live our lives. Yeah. Damon's stature is so fucking sexy. Like the way the clothes hang off his shoulders. It's actually mental.

I've just got it on. Toby's brother's like mincing in the kitchen. He's like, it's on every day. He's like, so what's this smells in? I'm like, it's just some, I don't know, it's just like my friends. It's in the background and there's like some vampire sex scene. He's like, and I'm just like literally like this. So upset.

I'm like, it's on every day, all day, every day, every night. I would like to deep dive into why Elena left. Like she obviously didn't get written out of the story So like she must have got another opportunity From my theory I haven't googled it I'd imagine Nina obviously a story She's Nina DeBrabb she would have got other opportunities And a bit like Misha Barton and O.C.

It was like I'm going to leave Left and then probably a bit of a bad decision Because Vampire's is the biggest thing ever It really is I mean like why would they bother doing anything else Surely the paychecks are still coming in from us Watching the Vampire's over and over again You know Kylie Jenna posted this summer so excited I watch Vampire Day.

It's now top rated TV show ever because Cardi General is that influential. Did you see that thing I sent to you when she bumped into Nini.combe on the runway show? She goes, I am re-watching Vampirey Diaries and I couldn't be more thrilled or something. And she's literally saying that and some random person's filming it.

I sent it to you. It's iconic. Oh my God, I know I never on TikTok, am I. So good. Right, you've also got a present here from the team. It's not, for me, it's obviously from the Wednesday's team. Just on it. Wednesday's team.

Parathai. Oh my God, guys. No no look how tiny Tiny number one You can't be serious guys No that's actually the most precious thing That's actually the most precious This is what I do to all my baby gross

He's like you've got to stop I put them in my arm He's like and then I go He's like please No no guys Can I just say our Wednesday's team You fucking rock We love you so much

So thank you so so much That is the most precious thing I've ever scene. No, there's a, there's a lovely oh my god, the beige. I love the tote. I know. I actually can't cope. It's making my eyes go with tears. You know when Melissa first meets baby, they will be wearing this. Oh, I can't. I actually like, how weird is it? How small that is?

It's like it's the size of my head. She's crying. I can't grasp that it's in your stomach. And then now we're going to have a real life baby. I know. It's crazy. She's actually sobbing. It's just all a bit much. It is a bit much at this stage, isn't it? Guys, I love you so much. That's so sweet of you.

Thank you, Ily. Thank you for creating that lovely moment. That was so... Please tell me someone got Melissa sobbing her eyes out. Oh, my goodness. Oh, that is so precious. So precious. I love you so much.

Thank you. What a guess. That was an amazing present. So what are the things have we got to discuss? Because I feel so many things. I know. Well, necklace. Oh, yeah. I got this gorgeous, gorgeous necklace from this amazing brand called Incadour. And they design, their gold is from e-metal waste.

So in your laptop, there will be like a tiny speck of gold. And obviously all the laptops and mobiles and all of the electronics that get thrown away, they take that and get the gold from it. So obviously it's like incredible. 18-carat gold. So clever. Anyway. Guys, don't throw your phones away.

Yeah, seriously, oh, don't. Just give them to ink door. Yeah. Anyway, she designed me this necklace, which is baby's bathstone, and then like a little diamond for Jamie and a little diamond for me. And she was like, we're going to do big diamond for you, small diamond for Jamie. And, yeah, she's just so, I'm really happy with it. It's really sweet.

They're a really, like, professional, creative, but cool, young team. And, like, the company is just wonderful and so cool. It's just like just a nice story, like the recycle gold. I know. And then me and Melissa have decided. I did to get a friendship bracelet together. That Jamie doesn't know that I'm purchasing. Mine's also for my grandma, but it's so cool and so gorgeous.

And I said to Sophie else, I think you need to get it and we can have matching. So now soaps going ahead. Are you going to go ahead? I'm going to go ahead and get the photos. Stunning. And I'm also going to get myself a push press. Oh, you fucking should. That Jamie doesn't know about it.

And I'm going to get the baby's bathstone in the pinky ring that she had. Beautiful. That pinkie ring is mega. It's on the website. So I'm just going to, I'm just going to place an order on that. Lovely. So anyway, we've had, we're minimalists are really treating ourselves.

But we deserve it. I mean, I can't wait for me to push something out and then I'll get a fish present. I tell you what, you deserve it with all this brace work that you're doing in your teeth. I feel like that must be painful. You know what? This is also 18-carat white gold in my mouth.

That is what it's all made of. So I'll be recycling that. Fuck, yeah. That's a big chunk of gold. Because I was like, I think the dentist takes it back. And I was like, naughty. That is. No, you're just like lost it on the last day.

Tell you what you deserve it for. your UTI, that has been a real long share. And the amount of money that I'm spending on this UTI is disgusting. And that's because of the lack of funding. Yeah, you can't. The only thing on the NHS is really basic tests and stuff. You can't do any of these. And we're going to do a whole app on it and deep dive.

But to fully, fully resolve the problem once and for all and take the guesswork out of it and like test properly, you have to do these private, strange, weird and wonderful testings that we don't have on the NHS or we don't have really in the UK. Okay, full stop to get to the bottom of it. I've cried a lot. There's been a lot of tears. It's been a lot of frustration.

You're going to hear all about it in depth, and we will really deep live into it because so many of you tinys have helped Melissa out so much. Oh my God. So many of you guys have been messaging me. Also, like, if you know anything, please tell me, like, what have you found? Like, also, guys, anyone listening, if you want answers now, go on the website, live UTI-free. It's an American website, but it's a charity.

And they have people on there. There's literally like three or four people in the UK that can help you. and they will send you who they are. But that's what you've got to do. Also, I watched last night the women in Cabin 10. Fuck me. You need to watch it. Is that scary?

No, it's more like thriller. It's brilliant. Is it a movie? Yeah. The woman. Karen Knightley. Is it new? It's brandy on Netflix.

You will fucking love it. I thought it was good. That's perfect because we're going to stay Saturday Night in the Rosewood for my birthday. So we've got a good movie to watch it. So we've got a good movie to watch. We both love a thriller. It's really brilliant. Oh my God, I can't wait.

And I, okay, okay, that. What other things we have to talk about? I just feel like this-lose love test of I need to dig, dive into with you. Sorry, but I also need to tell you about this skin tent from Victoria back. Okay, tell me, because your skin looks absolutely normal. Having walked there and purchased it, it's 105 quid or something, it's just bonkers, but fuck me, it's worth every single penny. What shade did you get to talk about the same shade? Five light, I believe.

Did you test them out on you? I put a few on my hand because I don't like it when they do it, and I can't see it myself. So I picked all the colors that I liked and I said which one of these would be a given match for me and she was like, I think, five. And then I can always bronze up afterwards, but there's nothing less than having something too dark on your neck being like really pasty. Yeah, because the thing with the Kylie Skinton, the jumps too much, do you find that? Because I'm on three and the four was my cellar. I have to mix. But the three is like way too power and it makes me look very dry. The four worked really well. I find it so drying. The three

It's driving me up, but maybe it's because it's winter now. I can't wear it. It's a summer thing. Maybe you need the VB. It's so moisturizing. Okay, I'll go get the VB. And it's also mixed with August and Bada. That's why it's so expensive because it's like skin, like, the skincare in it is like fucking next level. And it's all on toxic. Shut up.

Well, it's so interesting because obviously that's how she's making her money now through all the makeup. I bet. I made. We watched the VB dot. Should we talk about it? Yeah. Okay, let's go in. D-dive. I love her. I just need to say that the team that are shooting my Disney show that a victory Beckham series.

So I just think that's the biggest flex. Which may be slightly offensive for what I'm about to say next. I thought the David one was better. Nothing to do with the filming. The filming was brilliant. But like I felt like I really enjoyed listening to their love story and a little bit more about the family and stuff. And how they got together. It was very unpersonal, wasn't it?

It was. I feel like her opening up about like her eating disorder was like, I guess. interesting and eye opening for her to be like discussing that and talking about it and really good actually. But I guess she's not going to talk about her relationship with David and how they got together because he already did that in his. Well the thing is it was essentially in my view like a PR for Victoria's and it was like for the brand yeah it was just making her look amazing and I walked away and I love her even more and I walked away and I was like God I need to set up my fashion line. I walked away and I went and I made Toby March to meet Harris the next day

to buy her foundation. Because I was like, she is so gorgeous. She's amazing. I was like, her face is so unusual and she's just so chic and simple and clean and like. Yeah, like, and she's. Ultimate Clean Girl. Yeah. Did you see how many protects she has?

She had a different one in every shop. It was different. Every single shop. TV comments on there. He was like, fucking out. Enough watches. I was like, that is so sick. She is just, she just has a family.

Just the protect. Noah the Doree in every single seat. And then no, no. And then there was like a double, like a double, oh, the double diamond bracelet. The tennis bracelet. I know. I was like, oh shit. I know. And then the pinky ring was like a 20-carat fucking ring. I was like, oh my God, did you see George Curran was in the thing doing the hair?

He was shot in so many shots and I was like, I rewound it four times. He did all of the fucking hair for her Victoria's show and he was in every fucking shot looking so cool. Oh, my God, that's mega. Yeah, so George Curran is a hair stylist that we know. But he actually did just do it severe Richie's hair into the bar. and she posted him. That's huge. Did you not know that?

No. Sophia Ritchie uploads her bob and tags George Curran in it. Yeah, that's quite something. She's like Parisian bob, George Curran in the caption. But what? You know why? Because I feel like celebrities love to have their people and their team. So she's now got him.

So she's claimed him. That's her claiming him. Like he is my stylist. I founded him. I don't know. Maybe that is what the thought process is. Or if it is Slate for him. Slade.

He's off. He's off to L.A. every fucking week doing the rich he's hair. What the actual. Sorry. And he has gone. He has really just, shoot. Yeah.

I know. I kind of want to get him to cut me in. Do you think he would? I do look at the bob though, like when Victoria had it and I was like, God, it is so chic. But I was just going to know her.

It's like weird because I wouldn't look at her and think she's got a bob. No, I mean like when she had the Victoria Bob back in the day. I was like, it just looked fucking like clean and cool. and it was such a vibe. And then like, obviously, Monny May's got the bob.

I mean, I'm not going to do it. Everyone's got a bob. Can we just talk about Romeo Beckham? Do you fancy him anymore after watching this? I don't fancy him in the size I just never have. He's 16 to me. I literally look at him and I'm like he could be my cousin, not even a younger brother.

I'm like, he's just so gorgeous. It reinforced it even more watching. To me, I watch him and I'm like, he couldn't even be my brother because my parents would be too old to be his parents. He's too young for me. Like, he's just not giving, I don't, I've never really fancied really young. Like, he's, me at 23. I just don't fancy him.

Do you not think he's good looking? There is, he is very handsome. Don't get me wrong. Like, he's a really handsome boy. He just doesn't do it for me. You'd rather have David. I would much rather have David, for sure. Yeah.

Listen and subscribe to Great Company with me, Jamie Lang. New episodes out every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, right, we're going to get on to Dilemmas. DiLema 1.

Hey girls, I love you both and would love your advice. My boyfriend and I have been together for a little while now. We didn't go on many dates before he asked me to be his girlfriend, so I'll be honest, it all felt a bit rushed. But we'd known each other before dating, so it just felt easy to say yes at the time. Since then, we've made our whole friendship group by bringing my friends together with his, and it's been amazing. We all get on so well, and I've never want to lose this.

them but lately i feel like me and my boyfriend have barely spent any time together we never do couple things anymore and it feels more like we're close friends i've brought this up with him multiple times and each time he says he's going to change but he hasn't here's where it gets complicated there's someone else in our friendship group who i can't stop thinking about you are joking but he's my boyfriend's best friend oh it's all getting a bit complicated i would hate to be you right now it's also like you can't switch that feeling off it's just going to get worse and worse we're always flirting and laughing together

things I never do with my own boyfriend babe you need to break up with them sorry Jamie would be like why are you flirting with my best mate like is your boyfriend not like why are you guys so happy like I can feel

well maybe with the best friend you kind of think no no way I can feel myself catching proper feelings for him I don't know if I should stick it out with my boyfriend. I hope things get better or if I should leave him for his friend. Wait, but does the friend he fucking like you? Like, you're flirting, but like... This is the thing.

Boys just flirt. I don't think it that's really like, babe, like, sorry. But if I do that, I risk ruining a whole French group. Yeah, you've got to move to Australia if you do that. Please help a girl out. Right. I would have to wait until it's so apparent. Like, you've almost got to get to the point where the friend is like,

I'm in love with you. You've not done anything, but you're like, I have such strong feelings for you. Like, I don't know what to do. Like, you can't just go off a hunch. Like, sorry, hon, we all, everyone flirts a bit. A couple of 30 nights out, like, oh, I'm going to leave my boyfriend for you. No. I think that also, like, this is just telling that you should not be with your boyfriend.

Oh, God, yeah. To start with. So let's suck that off. Let's deal with that one problem first. Then you can flirt freely and explore it more. And then cross that bridge. And, you know, ultimately, guys are way more forgiving about that sort of shit than girls, your boyfriend will get over it and be like, mate, I'm annoyed, but like, whatever.

I'm sure of it. Guys don't care as much. You sound quite young. I think it'll be right. I think it'll be right, but I just don't want you to do it. And the friend's like, no, I don't want to be with you. Yeah, that's not a good idea. Like, also, if you break up with your boyfriend and the friend, like, backs off, like,

then he was just doing it because you're, like, forbidden fruit, which I think sometimes guys do. That does happen, too. I personally would be like, I'm just so sure the boyfriend's not like, hey, I'm I don't think they are, though. They're not aware. Whereas, like, girls, if my, if, like, one of my best fans is doing that with Jamie, I'd be like, hang on a minute. But I think if I was doing that with one of Jamie's fans, he wouldn't notice.

Boys don't fucking notice anything. And that's why they don't notice them. We're also pissed off. Yeah. And they'll notice, like, everything okay. You're being a bit quiet. And I'm like, you've only just noticed. Only three days.

Or, like, if you were really flirting with women, they'd be like, God, I love how close you guys are. That's so well. And you're like, oh, fucking getting the hen. Yeah, they're really dumb. Right, so first thing to us, break up with the boyfriend. Just break it off. Yeah, and then just play it by ear. But, like, you need some serious signs.

Like, you need almost it spells out to you. Like, we really have feelings for each other. Like, what should we do about this? Like, before you make any moves. Because if you make a move on him, he's like, well, or like, even if he just shags you. Because he worked. Yeah, don't need that either. And then he's such a good point.

Yeah, I don't want anything. And then you're like, fuck, I've fucked it all up. But also. Also it's so fun I just would love to know what the best around looks Me too and it's like I can imagine like every time you're all getting together as a group you're like always going to be there

and it gives you a bit of funny flatter and it's so evil but it's so fun It's so awful Look if you're at uni it's fine I remember like that being Sometimes a case of uni I thought it probably happens in the time Yeah uni it feels okay

I think once you're like living together It's probably not okay I mean this shit does happen even like in adulthood Like with work colleagues doesn't it Like we have girl he's writing us in them and like, I know, I know. I know. I went to a dinner on Friday night and obviously like Jamie does work in an office but like he works very closely with me and I know everyone in the office. I work in the office too. So like, you know, I mean it would never happen anyway. Watch it guys.

But you know what I mean. But like my friends who don't work with their husband, they've never set foot in their office. They don't know how many. They don't know the list of employees. I know Sarah who is, the boyfriend, their husband texts, but they've never met them. And I was like, guys, we were talking about affairs and I was like, look, the thing is, if it's an affair, it's always just going to happen in the office. And they were all like, Sophie. I was like, sorry.

And they're like, I literally can't sleep tonight. They were like, I don't know what. Like, what? Why would you say that? I was like, oh, God, those guys. It does always happen, though. I think it's like, where else would it happen? Or friendship.

Or you know what else it is, guys? it's a PT, watch out for those PTs. What is that like hormone that gets released when you're working out together, the pheromones all come out and it's all... I agree. It's a dangerous dangerous territory. I will say like whenever you're... Whenever I have been like trained by like a musly man, I am like, oh, like, you know.

It's like... It's intrusive thought. It's intrusive thought because they stretch you in weird ways. I'm not feeling it, but oh, what if I did feel it? It's like such a weird... I know exactly. Like, you look at them suddenly and you're like, oh, God, that muscle looks good. And, like, you really have to swash.

Like, it's quite, like, sexual in a weird way. It's because it's actually really quite intimate, but it's not supposed to be. And they literally have their groin on you and, like, push their leg and you're like, we're literally having sex right now. But you're not entering me. Like, that is so wild that that happens. Just has some dry sex gym. It is true, they listen it? And then, like, you look away, but they're looking at you.

I know. It's because they're really not I think it's because they're really not finding it awkward potentially. I had it once to the dentist and I was like you're really no you didn't he didn't stretch you no obviously not

but like he's so close to my mouth and like my face and I'm like he was like quite handsome and I was like this is actually like weird vibes right now because I was then having intrusive thoughts and I was then like I'm uncomfortable I think I've been to that dentist is he like does he kind of look

like Mr. Dreamy Mark Dreamy from grey's anatomy like he's dark grey like gorgeous old man oh I kind of know that one that wasn't on I meant but yes that is what I've seen me there's quite gorgeous man

but much older yeah much older and I was a bit like staring quite closely at my lips right now it's just one of those strange things in life I can only imagine an eye test

also being quite intimate but I've never had a man test my eyes only than lady no way we'll go into just something a caveat about Lucy so she obviously

the osteopath who we love so much. She is trying to help my pelvic floor and she's like, right, I'm going to put my hands down. Just like, lean back and I want you to sit on my hands. And then she just stretches my bum out. I'm feeling it. She's going to do that to me for my UTIs. Anyway, she just goes to me after like five minutes. She's like, this isn't intimate, is it? I was like, no, no. It's all fine because I think she was thinking like, do you want someone else in the, I don't know why she asked me. I was like, you're fucking up. I guess she's like curious. Like, does this feel intimate to you or not because I guess some people are like, well yeah, babe, your hands are literally inside my

but wait, bear? No, in my leggings. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, I mean, I won't lie. It was the nicest feeling you've ever had. You're in for a real treaty. But those sessions, there's nothing better than those sessions. Guys, at least you the osteopath.

If anyone's got a problem with anything, just fucking go down. It sorts you out. It's unbelievable. I'm going every week. We should do it back to back and I'll sit in your ones with you and we can just chat. Yes. 100% on Mondays. Come on.

All right, I will. Okay, listen. I think we've given you enough advice Break up with the boyfriend, tick that off and then just wait and see what happens with this other guy you know

You might Care carefully, try and be a little bit Like Decorum A little bit What is it called like When you're thinking of somebody else Kind, conscious

Have a good conscience For him a little bit You know We can't even think of the world Because we have so little It's just not enough My tackle Mightful

What's that Okay we love you Right Dynamite You ready Yeah. Hey girls, I love the pod even though I'm a bloke. Congrats on the baby, Sophie.

Oh my God, love you. My girlfriend has always been so patient with how much I love sports. So I've been making more of an effort to get into her interests, one being at your podcast. Sorry, that's so pressure. I'm pleased to say, I'm absolutely loving it. It's become a real highlight of our week, listening in the car together on journeys. I would never get Toby to be able to do that with me or something. We've been together for three years now.

She's 29 and I'm 26. and we're starting to plan for next year. We've done quite a bit of travelling together and spend most nights at each other's places and we currently don't live together. That's our big goal for 2026. The tricky part is deciding where to live. My girlfriend's originally from London

but has fallen in love with Australia since moving here. Meanwhile, I've lived in Australia my whole life and I'm eager to live somewhere new. Oh, God. We've spent Christmas in the UK every year since we started dating and I love it. So I definitely see us living there at some point but I'm not sure if now is the right time.

so do we move into my flat here in Australia which I brought earlier this year see how we do living together or do we take the leap and drive straight into London life even though we haven't lived together yet I'm obsessed with the fact that this is just a bloke and it's such a simple dilemma like you could have asked your mum

or your friend it's so simple and I am and no need for it to be anonymous really yeah that it's like you're just that is such a bloke there's no like malicious thoughts it's just like straightforward so what should we do move to Australia or me to England Like there's, can I just say?

There's no deep emotion behind it really. No, nothing. It's like I'm not annoyed to her because I feel really connected that I want to, you know, experience a different culture. It's just like, what do you think? What do you think is best? I own in Sydney, so, you know, that would make more sense, but kind of want to try something new.

I think probably stay in Sydney and then come to London. But we do Christmas in London, so like maybe that makes more sense. It's literally what he said. It's literally like that. First, the obsess of you, we're not taking the first. We take this dilemma very serious. We love, like, the simplicity of bloats because you really are different humans to us, like, very complicated beings women are, I would say. I just feel like we explore every corner of the possibilities of an emotion and what it could possibly mean and what it might not mean.

Every single avenue. So I think the simple answer is just to stay in Australia. Yeah, I think come to, give it a go. Yeah, if you live there already and you've got somewhere. That just makes sense, no. And then just come to London in a couple of years if once your girlfriend's had her bit with it. trust me I think there might be a point where she's like miss my family or she might want to get pregnant and she wants to be near her mom like I really do think that at this moment in time Sydney seems like the best option and I give her her time there it's a beautiful beautiful city but also I don't know if you said you haven't actually said Sydney you said Australia but hopefully you're in Sydney you can link up with Tim because that would be fun oh my god let us know is Tim like the biggest dog in Australia give us some inside scoop because like honestly need to watch out her Yeah. I hope that was useful.

Apologies if that was like maybe too basic. But we love you. Send us pictures of you both in Australia. I need a visual aid. Right, dilemma three. Hey girls, I've been with my boyfriend for just over a year now and we've always been quite adventurous in the bedroom. I'll usually try most things once within reason. So when he asked if we could give pecking a go,

I thought, why not? Let's just say it wasn't exactly my vibe. I won't go too much into detail, but it felt odd. Very odd. The problem is he loved it. And ever since he keeps hinting that he wants to do it again, I've tried to laugh it off, but he clearly thinks it's something we should make a regular thing. I don't want to make him feel embarrassed for loving it, but it's just not my thing. I'm starting to think we might not be compatible in the bedroom as I once as I once thought. How do I set that boundary without making him feel and about it's right? I want to know, is that strapping on a cock and shagging someone? Yeah, you strap on a willie. Look, it's not for me. What are you getting out of that? Is it? well. A lot of women feel powerful from it, apparently. It gives them their power back, which is interesting. Do you mind if I just Google what pegging looks at eye?

I'm going to do the same because I can't. Yeah, come on, we must. I wonder whether it will show us because, like, porn, you can't go on now or whatever. You know what's funny? If you go on Jamie's phone and you type in porn hub and if it lets him on it, that means he's put his ID into it. Oh my God, I wouldn't dare because he absolutely has put his ID into it. Without a doubt, I haven't had sex with him in about six months.

What's it called again? Pegging. Oh, golly. So listen, for me, that's just not what I would like. So I would just not be involved because I... It's quite something. It's like I would say it's a real required taste. Yeah.

And I think if you don't possess that quality... It's a no for me. You can just say that this isn't going away. It's like something that he really wants to do. And if you're not into it, then that's ultimately probably going to be the end of your relationship. The problem is, look, he has found the G spot now. and like once you found that I can imagine normal sex isn't as good

there was this story of this guy I think I've told you this before who went on a first date with a girl and she left the room because she was like I just need to like brush my teeth or refresh or whatever came out and he was on the bed on all fours

and with like a pegging thing and he was like I want you to peg me she was like what the fuck left at first day she was like I thought it was going so well

I thought he was like I thought we were going to have like a lovely intimate time and then it was just like I want you to peg me I think ultimately we can't really advise you

because I don't think that I would be able to perform pegging rituals so what I would have to do is have to have a conversation with say Jamie and say look

this is not my vibe can we not do it if he was very gun hurt on doing it I would probably have to say look if it's going to work out sexually between us

yeah Which is fine. You do have to want to do the same things in the bedroom. You absolutely do. And don't feel like you have to do it to please him because it's actually like a big ask, it is. And like you're obviously like a bit like weirded out by all this. You wouldn't be writing into us being like, what should I do?

Like it's okay to not want to do something. And that would be a big enough thing to not actually proceed with the relationship. Because also you'd then be worried like, is he always going to want to just be pegged on having sex? Like, is this enough for him? I'd be having that go through my mind. I feel like he's really taken to her. well at least you did a good job and you performed well you nailed the pegging on the first one well done right good luck let us know how it goes and remember like you know don't be put off because you think it's embarrassing like only a future like don't if you enjoy it then that's fucking fantastic great exactly like no judgment whatsoever just don't be put pressed into as my list said into anything you don't want to do yeah love you love you that's the end of the episode bye guys love you so much We know you love the thought of a vacation to Europe.
