And now she's mine.
Right, celeb news.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
Carl Richards is speculated to have dumped
on Marie Sue, her gorgeous, gorgeous husband.
They're split up.
She put a statement on her Instagram. No split up. She put a statement on her Instagram.
No.
No, they put a statement on the Instagram saying we haven't split up.
You read it wrong.
I scanned it.
Yeah, she said like, I know there's loads of rumors saying that we split up, but we haven't.
We've had a really hard year, but please stop like making up stories.
But the rumor is that she's having an affair with a girl called Morgan

few episodes don't get me wrong i'm not like an avid fan like you so i don't know the whole
storyline but i know roughly over the years bits and bobs I remember I watched one episode kind of
recently where they went to one of his new houses that he had built that was stunning oh yeah he's
killing it he's like one of the biggest estate agents property property developers tycoons
tycoons he's a catch he's gorgeous he really is gorgeous he took in like you know she had they

People just chat a lot of shit
about couples these days.
I mean, look at the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's a lot of vicious rumors
going around couples.
Rumors that are just not true
about, like, celebrities.
And I just don't know.
People make shit up

And it goes viral.
Sometimes it's quite believable as well,
which is also crazy.
So it's like, I can understand why people would believe this, but it isn't true. And there's all these fucking, well, which is also crazy. So it's like,
I can understand why people would believe this,
but it isn't true.
And there's all these fucking voice notes.

trying to think about anything else.
I'm desperate for Vanderpump Rules to come back.

unless you sign an NDNA
right
so we're drinking
a gorgeous
Samy and Blanc
and you know
that's not my vibe
guys
I've said that
a million times
we normally don't like it
unless
it's a really really good one
and it's not too sweet
because I have had
lovely ones
Australian ones are meant to be nice
Granger and Co do a nice one do they? yeah I'd love to go to Granger and Co and have a glass of frozen Unless it's a really, really good one and it's not too sweet. Australian ones are meant to be nice.
Granger and Co do a nice one.
Do they?
Yeah.
Oh, I'd love to go to Granger and Co and have a glass of Frosier. Same, we've got to do it this week.
So, this is called Something in Smith.
What does it say, Sophie?
Adelaide Hill.
No, Something in Smith at the top.
Paul and Smith.
And it's a lovely, lovely...
It shows exceptional
freshness
purity and balance
and it looks crispy
and clean
do you know what I mean
it's got that lovely
iced look
when it comes out
the freezer
the freezer
the fridge
yeah it looks delicious
so I'm going to be honest
the initial
sniffy sniff
for me is not
oh no
what are we getting
no
Adelaide Hill
wasn't your vibe
listen it's
Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc
how do you pronounce it
it's
it's
it's one of the better ones
I've had
but it's still a bit too sweet
for me
fine
and it's also the smell
I don't know what it is
I know that people love it
like a lot of
I really upset my girlfriend
because my girlfriends
love it
and there's
I think there's me
and another person
in another group
that just doesn't like it
yeah it's weird
I don't like it it's funny but it's normally a hit and I just don't yeah
it's just not a vibe for me but I'm sure if you like Savignon it's it's nicer than the um
other ones that I've had so if you like it it's a little bit more crisp I guess
sweet or dry calls his mum on what food can we microphone dry as fuck and that's what Jamie
used to do all the time.
how do I put the washing
machine on for delicates?
No,
I don't like.
It's not icking me out.
Like,
if Toby was to call his mum,
like,
mum,
how do I cook that
really nice recipe?
Like,
what do I have to put the,
do you know what I mean?
Like,
that's fine,
but if it's like basic.
It's the way they do it.
It's the delivery.
Mummy,
I'd be like,
you're vomiting in my mouth.
Well,
I'm vomiting in my mouth.
Listen to me.
You're vomiting.
If it was like,
quickly,
how do you do this
not really a big deal
yeah
but there I just
I don't know
I think it still is
that there is
there is maybe an age cap
we have to put on this
yeah I think Jamie
you're clocking on now
I think Jamie's
maybe past the point
where he can call his mum
and ask him how to do
basic tasks
yeah definitely
sure enough
it's a big decision
like buying a house
you want advice
that's okay
I kind of understand that.
But basic tasks like putting on the microwave,
it wouldn't ick me out, but I would also be like,
I think we need to grow up now.
Do you know what I mean?
Jamie's mum is, like, honestly the most intelligent person
when it comes to illnesses and ailments.
So whenever, like, we feel ill or anything,
honestly, she's like a doctor.
So that's okay when he calls her for that,
because I also am like...
That's fine.
Also, older people are just more knowledgeable. Right, serenading you with a doctor. So that's okay when he calls her for that because I also- That's fine. Also, older people are just more knowledgeable.
Right.
Serenading you with the guitar.
What do you mean?
I would quite like-
Shut the fuck up.
If he was banging,
so if Ed Sheeran just started playing your song,
I'd be like patty in his hands.
No.
Ed Sheeran's not my vibe.
Gorgeous singer, not my vibe to date.
But if that voice with Toby's looks or serenading no shut up cringe
cringe cringe cringe or lewis proudie is seeing that with toby's look for me if me and toby first
date he sits at the end of his bed and starts playing a guitar i would be like why don't you
no no no no but if they were like just playing as no i don't like you serenade me but if you're
playing music if you're in a fucking band
And it's
I don't know
I happen to see you
Singing and playing
That's fine
No no
Don't sit on the end of my bed
And sing me a personalised song
No don't personalise the song
But if you're gonna sing like
Waterfall or something
Is that a song
I just don't think
It's a vibe for me
I'm not gonna like
Be repulsed
But I'd also find it
A bit awkward
Because it's just like
Cringes hell
It's just a bit awkward
Isn't it
I think
I'm trying to think
Unless you're Lewis Capaldi And you've got a voice like that just stop
asks you to shave his bum no all right for me shave his ass do boys do that do boys shave their
butts i don't think so some people's butt has like come out their bum true cheeks and like i
would be like you're doing us all like a favour a favour by giving that
a trimmy trim
but I'm not gonna do it
for you
I'm not fucking doing that
for you
I wouldn't even shave
Toby's pubes
I don't really understand
why girls do that
they get them
I've never shaved
Toby's pubes in my life
but like we can do our own
like why would
not that I have any
because I laser
but
yeah I don't know
I don't know
no I'm not doing that
I really don't want to
open anyone's arsehole
arse cheeks oh my god that makes me feel so unwell.
The thought of having to open a boy's butt crap
and like get the shaver in there.
Yeah, but it'd be with a...
Not like a little short...
It wouldn't be like a razor.
It'd be like an electric shaver situation.
Well, they've got to have some serious hair
for an electric shaver.
It's disgusting if you ask me.
And no, I'm not touching it.
Just go have a back sack and crack.
It's dry as fuck. It's dry as hell. All of those were really. And no, I'm not touching it. Just go have a back sack and crack. It's dry as fuck.
It's dry as hell.
All of those were really dry for me.
I'm not going to lie.
The first one with the mum
is like the least dry.
Oh my God, no.
I've just seen the title
for the dilemma
and it's really making me intrigued.
I'm going to have to treat it immediately.
Okay.
Stick with my boyfriend
or follow the spark.
No.
What's going on?
There's something in the air. There's too many fucking sparks it's cuban air that's what jamie and i said there's a cuban air going on
it's like making people horny it's the summer air it's like cuban it's the summer it's the summer
yeah yeah okay girls i'm waiting to you for my desk at work because i cannot get the situation
out of my head oh Oh my God, no.
I literally, like, my heart's like pounding.
So I am in a mostly happy relationship and have been for just under two years.
As much as I've been happy and in love,
I do truly care about this person.
I have always had doubts.
Oh, sorry.
Wait, what?
As much as I have been happy and in love
and do truly care about this person,
I have always had doubts.
The main reason being,
he is four years younger than me.
I'm 21 and 25.
Okay, so he's 21 years old and she's 25.
That's quite a big gap.
No, I would be having doubts here.
Oh no.
He relies on me to look after him a lot
and I feel like I give much more than he does
in this relationship.
Despite all this, I do feel very loved,
but needs are not being fully met.
However, this isn't the real dilemma.
Oh my God.
There is a boy in my close friendship group, in brackets, my sister's housemate,
that I have got myself into a sticky situation with.
I'm excited about this.
Okay.
From the day we met, we have always been very close and sort of instantly clicked.
I don't know why I'm doing this voice.
We gravitate towards each other on nights out and don't know why I'm doing this voice we gravitate towards
each other on nights out
and don't want to
leave each other's side
despite the fact that
nothing has ever
happened between us
I would never cheat
oh no
anyway
last weekend
he told me
I just had one
last weekend
he told my sister
that he was in love
with me
and doesn't know
what to do
he said that he thinks
I am perfect
and all he wants
and all he wants and all he wants
and he will wait.
Oh my God, that's heavy.
Sorry, this is like off of a Disney film.
I would love that if a boy said that about me.
I would love that.
Dump the boyfriend.
Says I'm perfect and he's in love with me.
But does she fancy him?
There are definitely feelings on my part too
and I feel an undeniable chemistry with him.
I can't say I felt the same kind of magnetism
initially with my boyfriend.
There is nothing overly wrong with my relationship.
It is very stable and safe, but I suppose that's not the kind of crazy,
there's no kind of crazy spark.
It's just a lot of love and care for each other.
What the fuck do I do?
Work on my relationship and keep myself away from this other boy,
even though I don't really know what to do.
Or is this a sign that I'm in love with the wrong person?
Help.
Han, dump the boy and go with this boy.
Are you okay, babe?
You're 25.
Sparks come around once in a lifetime like that,
maybe twice.
Okay, we must go.
We must.
I'm praying the boy though,
doesn't like one what he can't have.
And then she dumps and he's like,
I've been there, done that.
But let's not, let's not play that.
If he's saying he's in love with you and he'll wait,
I think that's much bigger than a spark.
There's a connection
there's an undeniable
connection
connection
go and sign up
that chemistry class
and see what's happening
100%
also there's nothing wrong
in your relationship
but there's not things
that are right
yeah
so that's just as wrong
he's 21
and when you're fucking bored
that will only get worse
like and then you just
won't love him
you'll break up with him
and you'll be like that was way easier than i thought yeah just get get just rip the bandage off
go straight to the other boy oh i feel bad for the 21 year old he's 21 and it will what doesn't
kill him makes him stronger he's fucking fine and like when things aren't wrong so you then stay
because you're like oh but they're so nice and oh yeah they're boring that means sometimes the
wrong is the good thing.
Sometimes,
but also things have to be
really right
and then there's a few things
that are wrong
and then that's better
but when there's nothing wrong
but there's nothing that right,
you're then like,
oh, you're just coasting.
It's nothing worse than coasting.
Get out, get out, get out.
And go to the boy
with the chemistry.
That sounds stunning.
I am so excited for you.
I've got butterflies
thinking about it.
Oh my God,
it really makes you want
to just step into your shoes and do it for you because that would just be the best thing ever
we can we need to live vicariously for you i need updates i need photos when you finally
can we have a follow-up and can we please have a photo of you and the future boy
yeah yeah no I'm joking.
We need a page of you and the old boyfriend.
I love the ex.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then you and this new boy.
It doesn't have to be you together,
but I would just like to see it for reference for my brain.
Same.
Also, if you would like to invite us to a house party
so we can witness the whole thing.
Yeah.
By all means.
If you want to do it under the voice note
telling us how you dumped him and what he said
we really need a
follow up on this
yeah we need like
multiple follow ups
I want the follow up
of the dump
and then I want the
follow up of like
the new first time
that you and the
other guy got together
yeah
I'm really excited for you
I'm excited
also your sister
how fun for her
she's got it
I know
this is epic
right dilemma two
I recently got out
of a long term
relationship
and joined the
dating apps
spoke to a few guys but no one really stood out to me.
Then I matched with a guy and we had such a good chat.
He took me out on a date that went really well and one thing led to another and we had the best night together.
Gorgeous.
However, when we were back at his, he dropped that he is going to Thailand in two weeks for the whole summer traveling.
Oh no.
Why do boys do this?
Also, it's just so upsetting when a boy goes away at that stage, you remember?
The following week, we spoke a lot and saw each other again and i ended up staying at his again i wish him safe travels and he said he would speak to me soon but we haven't spoken
since he now has been out there for a few for over a week and i haven't heard from him i obviously
think there is a vibe there however i don't want to be waiting around or thinking something will
happen when he's back and it's not however there hasn't been anyone else i've been interested in interested in on the apps what would you do in this situation
do i go on other dates and see what this could lead to but equally you don't have the energy to
be making small talk with strangers or have hot girl summer not message him then see if he's still
interested and pops up when he's back hot girl summer do not message him under any circumstances do not message him
do not message him
delete his number
number
you cannot message him
if he reaches out
lovely surprise
if he doesn't
I'd even give it a day on brand
you can't reply
show you after
we mustn't message him
in fact I probably
just wouldn't reply
like I'd be a bit
unless he was back
and was like
I want to take you out
I'm back
I've really been thinking
about you a lot
can I see you
I've got a weird like
thing in my body where I'm really good at sort of not turning off emotions
like if someone I knew like I was once dating someone who went away and I just turned off my
emotions I just was like there's no point in texting him once he's away there's no point like
you just had to physically and I know that's easier said than done but just it's harder to
stay in contact also you've only only seen this bloke twice.
Like, we must reality check ourselves.
Like, I had it when I didn't even date someone.
I saw someone maybe twice, three times,
and then they went away, and I was like,
well, that's the end of that.
You just can't.
Oh, yeah.
You can't, like, not, like, dating is obviously different
because you're spending time with them,
but, like, you just can't.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to your body to be kind like you have to be like right that's it then we're
done with that if he comes back into your life stunning gorgeous it'll be i personally would
not be like having a day i fucking hate having like hey how's your day been like no it sucks
it sucks call me maybe or like facetime me but like even that also but like are you going to do that
even on two dates
no
no
it's weird
either way
so you know what
you have a hot girl summer
you carry on dating
try not to think about him
you had a nice time
that's lovely
but that's done
that's done
now that is what it is
and if he comes back
and suits you for a fee
fine
but if he doesn't
there's way more things
yeah yeah and you can look be over him by then.
Yeah, yeah.
And you can look back at him
and be like, oh, the gorgeous Thailand boy.
He will probably come back and ask for a date
when you've got a new boy on the go
and then you'll be like, ha.
And then you'll be writing us in with dilemmas
about who to choose from then.
Yeah, exactly.
Right, dilemma three.
What have we got now then?
Hey girls, love the podcast.
I'm really, really, really in need of some advice
and I thought I'd reach out
as this is driving me crazy now. Crying face. Oh my God, sweet. I love it. I'm a 19 really, really in need of some advice. And I thought I'd reach out as this is driving me crazy now.
Crying face.
Oh my God, sweet.
I love it.
I'm a 19 year old boy.
I've never had a relationship or got with a girl.
However, I met the prettiest girl I'd ever seen at uni this year
and thought for the first time in my life, I had to act on it.
After a month or so of trying to find the courage to talk to her,
I finally asked for her number for help with my coursework.
We spoke all the time for a couple months. And and late last year I asked her on a date and to my surprise
she said yes lovely we had the most amazing time but then communication almost came to a halt when
we both went back home for Christmas however we came back to uni in the new year and carried on
as normal after two more dates in the new year I finally asked if she would ever see things working out between us both as it felt that she just wasn't that into
it she confirmed my worst fear she said she didn't feel anything between us but would love to carry
on as friends and reluctantly I agreed as I thought it was the right thing to do we still speak often
and go out every couple of weeks despite the fact we are no longer at uni
and this is my dilemma.
Interesting.
What the hell?
I'm still so attracted to everything about her
and I can't bring myself to tell her how I feel again
as I feel it would push her away
and I can't bear the thought of that.
Do I carry on speaking to her
as I am now attempted to suppress my feelings towards her
and hope that someone else comes along
or do I slowly begin to distance myself from her? Literally love you girls so much as I am now, attempt to suppress my feelings towards her and hope that someone else comes along.
Oh, do I slowly begin to distance myself from her?
Literally love you girls so much.
And if anyone can help, I know it's you.
That's so freaking sweet.
Oh my God. Firstly, I love you.
Secondly, I don't know.
In my mind, I think I could maybe sway them
if I became that person.
I mean, that's so psycho.
I don't think so.
Right, okay.
If she doesn't love you, she doesn't like you.
If there's no attraction, there's no attraction.
I personally, if I was you and I was telling my brother what to do or something like that or one of my friends that's a guy I would say you it's probably best
to just distance yourself in order to get over it yeah I think that's probably the right decision
I would date other people I wouldn't delete half of my life there there's no just slowly distance
just take a little step back from it
because the friendship's just a bit hard
when you've got that many feelings,
which is so understandable.
And she'll probably get that if you say to her, like, look.
I wouldn't even say anything.
I would just say anything.
No, but if she notices you're pulling away
and she's like, why are you being so offensive?
Be like, look, you know, love you so much as a friend,
but I do obviously have some feelings for you there
and I just need to kind of take a beat.
Yeah.
Maybe kind of get over it a little bit.
Yeah, just get over it. I need to just take some space and she'll definitely understand whatever you do you can't tell her how you feel again like she's already said no and then
that will be a rejection her path on her part and it'll be harder for you to hear whereas I feel
like if you do that like you're the one in the power she doesn't then have to be put in an awkward
position where she's got to hurt your feelings because she obviously loves you as a friend and you know
what maybe in like you'll meet another girl in six months and then you'll become friends with
her or you meet another girl next week or whatever exactly and you and her can have your relationship
again as friends i'm sorry you won't do that but thanks for writing in thank you so much
tell us how it goes, please. Or just be responsible and top up your retirement fund. Plus, move any other eligible account and we'll give you a 1% match.

Oh my god, oh my god. Really sweet message. Right.
I love, love, love the pod and in the early days of
motherhood, it's got me very
sleepless nights and lack of socialising.
My six-week-old daughter, Etty,
struggles to settle in the car.
Oh my God, she's so gorgeous.
She's an epitome of Etty.
She's such a beautiful little person.
She's pervert.
However, as soon as I turn your girl's soothing toes on,
she's gone asleep and zonked.
Oh my God, how funny.
This is fantastic for me
as I now win the rights of the radio on car journeys
and get to listen to my favourite podcast in silence
sat next to my darling husband in the car, winning love to you both pick up the princess just because i need
no excuse maybe your tiniest whiny oh my god how gorgeous oh my god no how tiny tiny little
oh my god the hair wow gorgeous thick hair oh my god those little feet i can't bear oh my god this

and the guy was like you sound just like you do on the podcast
I was like
oh duh
and he said I got
a nice voice
I was like
no no
you're taking the piss
I literally laughed at him
I was like
sure enough

I think you'd think
you have like a radio voice
or something
I was like
like auto tune

snippet
memoir for us
story time
hey girls
just listening to the episode
where the girl
wants to date
someone in her office
and my current boyfriend
of four years
is someone I met in my office so I thought I could share my experience do you remember we gave her
some tips was I with Jamie doing this okay so me and Jamie were doing this episode right and we
gave her the advice to basically just try and like get his number she wants to date this guy that's
in her office but she doesn't know how to approach it and they always flirt in the kitchen stuff like
that so my advice was to say that that she's going out for work drinks with
her because they're in different departments and she's like we never meet out same time for drinks
even though we're always going out for drinks for our own department so i said when you're next in
the kitchen you run into him and be like oh we're all gonna go out for drinks later if you want to
join some of you guys do you want to come down like we're gonna go just casually say it like
that is how i said and i think jamie said to give the advice to try and get like his number or
something off the work chat and like slip in something funny like are you having a shit day
something like that good I love it so he gave some good advice there okay right uh I had been crushing
on this guy in my office for a couple of months but I was fairly new and this was quite and he
was quite senior and a bit older than me luckily I sat next to his bestie, so he would come over and chat near my desk all the time
and I got involved in one of their conversations
joking about something to do with the office.
Then, whenever that thing would happen in the office,
I would send a jokey email to the guy I liked,
which kickstarted us sending a couple of flirty emails.
I plucked up the courage to organize office drinks
for everyone at the office bonding
and then sent him a follow-up jokey email being like you better come better be coming to this we spent most of the evening
chatting messaged on instagram for a week or so before he asked me on a date and now we are four
years into our relationship have bought a house together and we're both very happy that that i
made those subtle moves because without that office drinks, I would, I'm not sure if we'd,
we'd have ever got together.
My advice is to start trying to flirt and get drinks in,
even as a group.
And if he isn't keen,
then cut your losses.
But also you haven't been too overconfident that it then becomes awkward in the office.
Hope that helps.
That's exactly the advice I gave.
I was like,
if he doesn't then come to the drinks,
who cares?
But if he's kind of keen,
he'll be like,
oh, I actually can't tell, but maybe another another night he would then offer up you just part you've got to plant seeds
also boys aren't as confident as we think sometimes they need a little bit of an encouragement i love
this we need to follow up from her yeah please follow up we did say to her at the time like we
i need to know what's going to happen my friend winnie and you know winnie yeah her and her
boyfriend they met in the office. And I remember being like,
I really fancy this guy in the office.
And then look at them now,
they're like five years in.
Wow.
I know, it does happen, guys.
It's just gorgeous.
A lot of people meet in the office.
Well, technically, Jamie and I did.
No, we didn't delete that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, in a certain time where you met at work.
It's how most people bloody meet.
Yeah, it's how the world goes around.
Oh, it's just wonderful.
How lovely.
Right, rate the wine. Thanks for those those messages i love those messages of encouragement it's just like
a lovely little it's almost like a facebook group you know like when someone has a problem
then everyone like leaps in to give their advice it's gorgeous yeah it's like we're in the circle
of trust we are okay right i'm gonna rate the wine i'm gonna be harsh today go below a five
only because i don't like it
But it is a nice wine
But is it?
I'm going to
Yeah
It is a nice
It's a much nicer
Saving young
That I've had
But this is very
Because we're biased
Because we just don't like
Saving young
We just don't like it
So I'm going to give it
A solid five
For my personal taste buds
But if you like a Saving young
And you love it
Like I'll produce a cat

Like an eight

Cat Carol
