Hello, it's Jamie Lang from Great Company podcast. Now I just recorded an amazing episode with my dad Nick all about fatherhood because I'm about to become a dad. Here's a little clip from it. Why are kids a magical thing to have if you can have kids or want kids? You know you start there's this little sort of squeaking ball and you know you grow up and become you. So if you like that and you want to hear more of Great Company, just search Great Company wherever you get your podcasts. Hello everyone, we're Jamie and Sophie.

You may remember us from Nearly Wedds and then Newly Wedds. But now guys, things are about to get even wilder as we take on our biggest adventure yet, becoming parents. Yeah, that's right. At Newlywed's is now Nearly Parents, and we're bringing you the same honest, heartwarming takes on our journey to parenthood, I guess. Join us as we find out what it really means to become a family while trying not to kill each other.

Get ready for Nearly Parents, your favorite new podcast. Melissa, are you a doctor? I want to be but I'm not. I'm not a doctor either and we're not psychologists. We're not. We're not experts in anything. In fact, we just challenge all our shit. So. And we love giving you guys advice but as we said. We love giving you guys advice. Do not take what we're saying as gospel. If you do feel like you need to speak to somebody, please seek professional help. Guys, this week we talk all about

Sidney Sweeney's bathwater soap saga. I also have a funny acupuncture story, and we've also got a very, very good dilemma, which really spins our mind into our deep and darkest fantasies. Hey girlies. Hey girlies.

And guys, boys and girls. Hey boysies and girlies. Hey Tarnies. We were saying mine and Melissa's relationship is like, not inevitable, but it is a little bit. Yeah, it's different, Lil. Because we can't, something happens in the moment and I want to get on the phone and tell you and deep dive into it, but we wait until this podcast so you guys hear first. Hear everything first. And we have the initial reaction from one another first as well.

I know. You know what is good? Some stuff we can't say on the pod and that's something I'll get a phone call from you after a wedding or something. I know I've got something to tell you after this, you're going to die. Oh my God, also my hay fever is killing me. My eyes are watering. I sound like I've got a blocked nose. Why do you have a blocked nose?

But I'm just a bit upset because I have valid reason to have a blocked nose because A. You don't. You sound perfect. It's like swollen inside. I can't explain it. It's like the airwaves are not open. It's like my inside of my nose is swollen and it's a real thing in pregnancy and that's where people get pregnancy noses.

Okay. Which is your nose swells so much, which Bella used to send me every single day on TikTok. When you were first pregnant. Free pregnancy. This is what's going to happen. When I was like, I'm going to get pregnant and I want to have babies, she was like, bing, bing. No, I'm dead. That's actually so funny. But anyway, you and my sister have this horrific hay fever and neither of you will take a tablet.

I know. I won't. Well, no, no, no, listen, if it's a special occasion, like for example, this, I'm in a safe space, I'm comfortable, I don't care about having hay fever in front of you guys and sneezing, whatever. Yesterday I went on Toby's friends mini TV series thing, whatever it is, I took a tablet and I was fine, thank God. But what I want to know is I don't know about how much truth there is in the fact that if you take antihistamines, you become intolerant to them. Well, it just happened to me. So I was like, I'm taking them every day and my fucking heavy feels still the same. And it was really annoying

me. So now what I'm going to start doing is get that saline spray. Rinse out every morning and I need to buy that asap because this is disgusting. And by the way, guys, do not rinse your nose with just normal tap water because I saw someone recently died. I think their brain died because the water has to be clean. Saline. Yeah, of course it does. That makes total sense. Because it goes into your brain. Yeah. Can I just say something? I will never forget this and it is stuck in my brain till the

death do me part. I don't know what's happened to you since you've become pregnant, but the comedy is just like flowing out of her. I feel the complete opposite. No, you're funnier than ever. I sit in radio and I'm like, no, you're funnier than ever. And I sometimes think, and they go to me. So what do you, well, like what's been going on with you two?

I go, nothing. In this environment, you're fricking funny. Let's just try today. I know it's so fucking funny. I know, I rewatched that clip ten times. Just to explain to you guys, this is on Noonie Wedds and Jay, I was explaining to the listeners of Noonie Wedds that Jamie didn't understand ovulation and on my period would be like, let's just try today. And I was like, that's not how it fucking works.

It was so funny. Sometimes I catch him now, he says it and he sees like the pause in me and he goes, oh yeah, no, I got that wrong didn't I? Because he's like, but he can't think of what the real thing is. But he's like, that's not it. I know that that's not it. Like you, it's a placenta isn't it? And I'm like, oh God, just don't be honest. Ridiculous. He even got a clue. I'm really going to get his salad for lunch. Really delicious. When he was reading it out, I was like, sounds fucking delish.

So Salad Project, which is very near our offices. Jamie's just got his own salad in there. He wanted to call it the Jamie Lange sex Bomb. I was like, well, no. I heard him reading it all out. He's a sweet idiot this morning. I don't know why. I was like, it made me want to cry. Watching him go in there and he was like, how many have you sold? 16? Is that good? Is that good? Oh, okay, great. I was like- I didn't finish the video. You sent it really well. Then he sat down, ate it all and described all the ingredients, the pulled pork. I was like, wow, watermelon, delicious.

It's really delicious. Phenomenal. I was like, wow, watermelon, delicious. It's really delicious. Phenomenal. And if you want tofu, you can get tofu. Okay. So speaking of collaborations, because that's quite a niche collab with the salad bowl. Have you seen Sydney Sweeney's done this thing with soap? And she's put her bath water in soap.

It's a bar of soap with a hole in it. Right. And it's got her bath water in it. And it's like she's collabed with them. I mean, male audience, like I'm not going to want to bathe in Sydney Sweeney's bathwater. Give me Channing Tatum, I will buy it. I love, I love the outlook on it. Because you're the same as me. I saw it and I was like, oh, I'm not buying that. But boys will love it. But then other people, so other women. Surely other women aren't like the devil while shopping the Sydney. They are hating it. They're

like, this is taking us back. Women rights. Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't know about, like Melissa and I are like on the fine edge. Like I respect like the movement and it's a very awkward thing to talk about because you get a lot of hate either way. You can't really say anything right. But like, I would love it if all boys were wanted to bathe in my bath water. Absolutely.

I would go to sleep happy at night thinking I have succeeded. You all are buying, you're giving me money because you want to bath. In my dirty bath water. Yeah, like fuck me, I'm a legend. Like what? Why would you want that? That's how I'm looking at it. Who's going to cry about it and say, oh my God,. Mm-hmm. Like, what? Why would you want that? That's how I'm looking at it. Who's going to cry about it and say, oh my God, I feel demoralized? Like, what?

Well, I know also it's her choice, no one's fucking making her do it. She's gone, yeah, sign along the dotted line. I feel like she knows what she's doing though. I think she's quite switched on. I think it's fantastic. I feel like this is quite a jokes move to be fair. Oh my God, do you think we could... Should we get some Wednesday's bath water?

Pregnant women's bath water. People would probably go mad over that. No, no, no, they wouldn't. And I need to tell you. I have actually told Melissa this. I'll have to repeat it because it's so good because it really links into men not would not buy into a pregnant women's bath water. Okay, so I go and get acupuncture done, pregnancy acupuncture.

So off I go and I'm having my acupuncture and I walk in and this wonderful woman who I've actually spoken about on Nudie Wears, Anne with Melissa, she's very blonde. I sit down and she was like, wow, legs bigger. And I was like, oh, thank you. Well, thank you. And she was like, feet so much bigger. And I was like, right, okay. And she was like, next month she was like, feet so much bigger. And I was like, right. Okay. And she was like, next month, they're going to be so much bigger. And I went, fucking

hell, it's a hard gig for women, isn't it? And then she was like, are you snoring yet? I was like, not snoring. Not that I know of. She was like, by next month, you'll be snoring. I was like, Jesus, it's a hard month. It's not attractive. And she goes, well, that's exactly what God wanted. And I went, what do you mean? And she went, God designed women to be the ugliest they will ever be in pregnancy, so they repel men. And I went, are you fucking kidding me? Come again? She was like, we're all animals. And she kind of made sense. She was like, we're all animals. Like, if a pregnant lion's is roaming around, it doesn't want the male lions trying to shag it. Yeah. So it made us look as ugly as we can so we can repel men.

And I literally just sat there, tears in my eyes, like I said, nine months of repelling the other sex. Like that's just fucking fantastic. My feet are going to be so big. I'm going to start snoring. My legs are growing. Like what? I can't see a change in you whatsoever other than the bump, if that makes you feel any

better. I just thought it was so funny. I mean, she really does just speak her mind. She really does. like, what? I can't see a change in you whatsoever other than the bump if that makes you feel any better. I just thought it was so funny. I mean, she really does just speak her mind. She really does. And you know what's funny is like when I'm like, oh God, she just like laughs her head off.

It's like she doesn't think she can offend anybody. I know. I once saw her ages ago from my rash thing, this eczema thing, and I've recently started seeing, oh, sorry, I need to tell you guys this story. The eczema rash came back rife and I was like in hell every night itching, itching, itching. And I was like, I can't itch it because obviously it's not good too, but it's so fucking itchy and it looks like really awful all across my chest, down my arm. Anyways, I Googled it and I was like, right, this is the final straw, Chinese medicine. Off I go. She sits me down and she's like, right, do you have

time? And I was like, yeah, I was in there for two and a half hours. Acupuncture all over my front, but like really quite painful. Then she starts cupping my back with no warning. They like twist the cup and pull your skin up. So like your, yeah, like the blood comes to the surface. It's really painful actually. It was not comfortable, let me tell you. Anyway, God. I know the vibe. she comes back in when I'm finished, takes all the needles out, takes the cups off, does the most aggressive massage I've ever had on my back. Like honestly, it was just like her full body weight pressing on me like this. And then she goes, smacks my bum, finished. Smacks your bum. I swear

on my life. Smacks my bum. Finish. I was like. And then she gave me all these herbs. I've been taking morning and night and it's been three days and the eczema has fucking gone. I'm in shock. I need to go immediately. It's fucking gone. I don't know what she did to me and I'm going back on Monday.

My friend, Megan, went to see a Chinese medicine person and I'll never forget her telling me this story. She lies on the bed and it was a man and he put a raw chicken on one cheek and then a raw salmon on the other. What's that going to do? I just don't... I don't know. But when she told me, sorry, I just took this day, finally the funniest thing ever.

Little blonde girl just lying there like ready for my dream and then like whap, like a wet chicken breast on your face. It's just so good. Oh my God. I know. That would give me a real wrap. Like what if it has salmonella? I would be really taken aback. I need to go to this lady absolutely immediately and I do not know why you've not shared her details with me.

Because I've only just been, I also think, I don't think you should be going in there when you're pregnant. I think it's too weird. But she might give me something. Because seriously, I can't go to the loo for love and no money since I've been pregnant. That's what I'm hoping she'll be able to do. Can I tell you what I did this morning to try and sort that situation out? To the listeners, I know lots of you probably aren't pregnant and you don't give a fuck,

but I'm going to tell you something happened with your bowels and it's like genuinely, it's really upsetting me. So you're clogged up. No, it's really upsetting. Because now it's been a long time of my life being this clogged up and I'm really, I'm not used to it. I don't like it.

It's really getting me up. It really upsets me if I have a day without going, I get so upset. I'm talking twice a week. It's horrific. It's horrific. My. Yeah. And if you Google it, it's like, everyone's like the unspoken thing about pregnancy.

Can you just take pure psyllium husk and drink loads of water? So I try and take fiber gel, which is what my obstetrician said, because I've maybe still in the house, same sort of thing. And I'll try that. But it makes me feel so sick at night. I think it bloat because the fiber, yeah, your stomach up. And if you're still not, then it's not helping me go. If it will block you up even more if you're not hydrated enough, because it will just

suck all the moisture out. I then like rock around at night and I'm like, I feel really sick. So I then stopped taking it. Anyway, I saw this like vegan lady that I follow on Instagram. Yeah. And she basically gets un-waxed lemon, she cleans it, she chops it up, she puts a glass of water and one day she blitzes it with the skin, with the rind, everything.

And then she drinks it and she says like by the end of the day, you'll, so I did that this morning. It wasn't bad, the taste. No, but that's yummy, actually. You know what? You should also soak chia seeds for 20 minutes and then just drink that. Guys, I've tried it all. I've done flaxseeds, I've done chia seeds, I've done dates, I've done prunes, I've done prune juice. I've done it all. It's, I drink four liters of water. It's unhinged. It's...

Are you allowed to put a little bum up your butt? Yeah, you are allowed to do that, actually. No, I need to talk to you about this story. Oh god. One of Toby's friends was telling me this story and we were exchanging celebrity stories. Right. He is quite a famous model, I guess, in the modeling world. And he's been to a lot of parties with a lot of celebrities.

And once he was in a DJ booth with a very famous girl. Yes. I know her. I should be by her name. I'm unbelievable. And how the fuck did you know DJ booth famous party? Okay, fine. And he backhanded fingered her. What's a backhanded finger? Just behind like this. In the DJ booth. I'm like, what the actual Why wouldn't he do it to her face? She's quite stunning to look at. I think it was all low-key. It was all low-key. No, no, no. It was also a backhanded finger. I don't think I've ever heard of that in my entire life.

I don't know how that would feel. So a backhanded finger, I can only imagine is obviously you're sort of facing forward. Yeah, sort of scoop situation. You know when you're sort of asking for sweets and you're in the front of the car and you put your hand back. Yeah. Or you're asking for popcorn and you're like in the cinema and they've got it at the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just the past behind.

Do you remember those days when people would just think of you playing cards? Oh my God, yeah. What was that, Feathers Ball? Yeah, it was very much my clubbing days. All my friends would come back like, oh my God, I've got with someone and I've been thinking about that. Yeah. And it's like they would next be on the dance floor and I used to be like, how did that happen? Like, I don't, it was the bodycon skirts era, that's what it was, that's what they were. You know, how Seabier brought them back, the bandage dresses, they've come straight back

into fashion while they're trying to make them. Oh, because it's like having legar vibes. Yeah, I wouldn't be buying one, I have a leisure. Have a leisure. So what's the craziest sort of public affair you've had? Have you had any sort of public rendezvous? Is that the correct term? I have had a really quite a serious one actually.

Can we just tell the story before we birth this child? We went skiing together and you know the bubble things, we were in a bubble on our own. And I can't remember whether I... Or whether we had sex. Sort of sign language going on here by the way. So I can't remember whether it was at that moment or a sex moment. It's a bit hazy, but what- Quite impressive if you manage to shag before you get to the top of the gondola. I think it might have been the other.

Oh, it might have been sex. Anyway, I remember coming off the gondola, right? Yeah. And then the guys were like this. And I was like, oh! Because they obviously must have cameras or something. Oh my god, that's horrific. That is horrific.

Isn't that the most horrific thing ever? Let's talk about Beyonce, can you be? Beyonce. Beyonce. Beyonce, that's horrific. That is horrific. Isn't that the most horrific thing ever? Let's talk about Beyonce, can you be? Beyonce. What was Queenie?

She was amazing. She was amazing. She had like no like warming up act or like anyone in between anything. Oh my god, I just constantly snack from start to finish. What were those snacks that you like? I think I had about four plates of nachos and corn. That might've energy was low. I'll tell you something.

What? I thought you were fucking ready. Not to bore everyone with the pregnancy, but apparently you do just get quite wiped out. I'm like, I think you just need to reboot. But that day I was quite wiped out, so I was really fooling myself with those nachos. They were really giving me life. They were so good. We were really lucky to have all that gorgeous food.

It was such a nice evening. It was such a fun, amazing evening. I was trying really hard to get drunk. You know when it's just not touching the sides? How many fucking glasses of champagne did I go back for? Oh my God, there were these unbelievable girls and they were like twerking in front of us and I just saw, I'm such a game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like I literally just saw, I cannot get up and dance right now. They did it for like, they went hard for the first sort of 15, 20 minutes and then they were like, we're done now. They sat down. They were in high heels. Yeah, they really slayed. They really did slay. If you saw my home right now, you'd really be in a state of shock. Why? Because obviously we're moving at the end of this month, which is so exciting. I've like, in my mind just clocked off and I'm like, hate my house, don't want to bother tidying up. So I literally, I take this jacket off and I'm like, hate my house, don't want to bother tidying up. So I literally take this jacket off and I chuck it on the floor in this bedroom. I'm like, Jamie opens it, he's like, and I'm like, it doesn't matter, just don't go in there because like I'm going to be packing it in two weeks.

I'm not putting my clothes away. They are everywhere. It is like a bomb has gone off in there. That's like my life all the time. I know. You know what's funny is like, if it's out of their way, like if I keep the kitchen clean, I get away with it. Yeah. If I don't, like this morning when I made that lemon thing.

There was fucking chaos everywhere. And the blender was out everywhere and there was lemon and there was the day pip and he was like, and I was like, not part of me gets fast. I'm like, I could live. I shouldn't be more like you. I honestly could leave everything in an absolute tip and a bomb. And I'm like, it just doesn't bother me. I can just carry on, go about my day. I'm not going to unpack that suitcase until I need something from that suitcase. It will stay on the floor. Yeah. I just don't mind. I don't mind. I take the glassy washing out of the suitcase. That's it. Fucking tip. Same as Jamie. Jamie's like, messy, messy, messy girl.

That's his thing. Messy, messy, messy girl. And I'm like, is Jamie like really, really type A? Because I can't imagine him being type A. What is type A? So type A is someone who's just very organized, I believe. Very tidy and likes to have a plan. In some sense, he's got like OCD.

Yeah, then he's got like OCD. Yeah, then he's type A. He's type A. Like if he gets anxious, he like will have to turn a light on loads. Oh God, he's 100% surely type A. But then he's like messy in other senses, like, you know, like his wardrobe is not that tidy. What about his phone? Like are all the emails answered? Every single email and he's close every app all day long. Right, he's Taipei. Because mine, for example, there's 566 unread messages. Oh yeah, what's mine?

307 unread emails. Every app's got a fucking notification. How do you know? I still haven't updated my phone. I'm 213 unread messages and mail, I'm 1000 unread emails. And that's with a PA. Christ alive. That's with a PA. Christ alive. She should be going through your phone and dealing

with that. How would you live your life without Millie? I actually don't know at this point. No, I really don't know. I actually really, really don't know because you and I are categorically type B. There isn't a part of me that's type A. Hello, it's Jamie Lane from Great Company Podcast. Now I just recorded an amazing episode with my dad, Nick, all about fatherhood because I'm about to become a dad. Here's a little clip from it. Why are kids a magical thing to have if you can have kids or want kids? You know you start there's this little sort of squeaking ball and you know you grow up and become you. Don't because you'll get me going. So if you like that and you want to hear more of Great

Company just search Great Company wherever you get your podcasts. Hello everyone, we're Jamie and Sophie. You may remember us from Nearly Wedds and then Newly Wedds. But now guys, things are about to get even wilder as we take on our biggest adventure yet, becoming parents. Yeah, that's right. Newly Wedds is now Nearly Parents and we're bringing you the same honest, heartwarming takes on our journey to parenthood, I guess. Join us as we find out what it really means to become a family while trying not to kill

each other. Get ready for Nearly Parents, your favorite new podcast. Okay, we've got some gorgeous dilemmas, guys. Dilemma one. Hey girls, I'm writing a little dilemma that isn't a huge deal, but it's been playing on my mind. My boyfriend and I have been together for quite a while now, and like most relationships, there was definitely more effort in the beginning. Especially when it came to things like lingerie, I used to buy cute matching sets and wear the nice underwear, all of that. But as time's

gone on, I found myself reaching less for the lace and more for comfort. And honestly, I actually feel sexier in my everyday underwear or even just being naked. I feel you. I feel more like me, unless I'm dressing up for someone else. The thing is, my boyfriend recently bought me some new fancy lingerie, and now I'm wondering if that was a subtle hint. Like, is he missing the old effort? Is he trying to reignite something? I want to still impress him, of course, but

I also don't want to feel like I'm before me again just to meet some expectations. Has anyone else felt the shift? How do you balance feeling confident in what you like and still keeping the spark alive? Oh, I think it's sweet of him that he's done that. Me too. I like that. I think it's such an effort. And I don't think, I think you should just like wear your comfy's when you want to wear comfy's. But like, what are we talking about comfy's? Like we're not talking about British Jane's pants, are we?

Because I wouldn't recommend that to keep the spark alive. That's just my honest take on it. Why are you carrying me with you? You know what I mean? There's comfy's and then there's comfy's. I second that. I wouldn't recommend that either. It's so funny.

But this is lovely. Like now and again, put them on and like have a lovely time. 100%. I know what you mean, but you don't want to feel like you're performing. I do get that. But then there is like, I listened to Roxie Nafusi had a sex therapist on or someone that was a therapist that does a lot with relationships. And she said that fantasy is like the most important thing for keeping relationships alive when they're really like an older relationship as such. Oh wow.

And doing things like that is actually, it's way more powerful than you think. So I don't know, like I would just pop them on every now and then. Pop them on before you're brushing your teeth and brush your teeth in them. And that's all you need to do. You don't need to perform. You don't have to do a sort of, you know, take off the the mat and it's underneath. But are we talking like a bra? I know what she means. So it's like lingerie sets, the bras are so on-going. A bra and pants is fine. Are you we talking like a bra? I know what she means. There's like lingerie sets, the bras are so ungruntling. A bra and pants is fine. Are you talking about like a full... Oh sorry, I don't know. I don't know how far. I don't know how far, yes. How sort of... I think just have some fun with it. Like don't put pressure on yourself if you're not feeling like it. Don't do it that day. But like definitely like keep it in the back of your mind and don't overthink it. And definitely

don't think that he wants you to do it. I think he just probably thinks it's fun. He probably just quite likes you, he said, you look fucking great in this. Yeah, let's be honest, he's a boy. What's he gonna think? It's a compliment, really. It's a real compliment. I've never had anyone buy me things like that. No, I know. I know me and Melissa are desperate for something like that. I would love a Valentine's Day to just be surprised with that. Every now and then. I know me and Melissa are like desperate for some time. I would love a Valentine's Day to just be surprised with that. Or like every now and then like I really appreciate like lovely underwear. I did. I said I got it this year for Valentine's.

Oh yes! But it wasn't like, they are sexy, right? They're from like a stunning stunning place, but like weirdly like he asked my sister like what a nice brand is. So it's not like a sex spot. No, it's just feminine and like sometimes- They're very, very beautiful. But I wouldn't say they're like, I put them on and I'm like, they really flatter me. Got it.

You know what I mean? Like the bra is like no wiring almost. It's like they're very lacy and pretty. Yeah. But to look out for a man, they're probably think that will look banging on. But like, I know what's going to make my body look sculpted. Yes, yes, yes. And I don's gonna make my body look sculpted. And I don't feel like they do that to me. Got it. There are some guys who like stockings heels,

a fucking nice pair of brown pants, like lacy, lacy, lacy. There are some guys who like men's socks, like sexy boxes. I'm talking like, I'm not meaning in rank way. Like when I put that on, Jamie's like, oh my God, that's really attractive. For some reason, Toby will love it if I put on like lacy, sexy, I'm not meaning in rank way, like when I put that on Jamie's like, oh my God, that's really attractive. For some reason, Toby will love it if I put on like Lacey, sexy underwear, which I rarely do, but he loves it. And like a really big push up bra, my boobs are massive.

He fucking loves it. Who doesn't? But he also really likes me in like an oversized baggy t-shirt and then a pair of pants underneath. So it's like, he's like, I just like it that I like know that there's like no shorts under the baggy T-shirt. Sort of like this weird subconscious easy access thing. I'm like, God, man, they're just... I don't think there's like a male gaze, female gaze necessarily. I think there would be. Like, I feel like I really like the look of like slick on myself. Like the slick nude comfy underwear, I just think there's something

so sexy, like effortless about it and like non try hard. I like my body looks great. But to him, that's just pure underwear maybe. Like it's not sexy as such. I don't know. But I feel really sexy about myself when I'm wearing that. Like a skimsy. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. I also do. Right? Because I'm like sculpted, tight. But also kind of naked. Holding me in the same place, right face, like a hundred percent. Look, listen, I don't think you need to overthink this. I think naturally there's a shift. I think every time I saw Jamie at the beginning, I hadn't got a hair on my body. I was baked,

like I had to use Johnson oil, like I was like so silky. I'd wear the nicest underwear. Like naturally there's a shift. Who can keep that up? But if they're willing to go out and buy you something, lean into it. I agree. I think it's a lovely gift. Me too. Let us know how it goes. Love you so much. Love you. Dilemma two. Hey guys, I need help because I'm genuinely getting the ick and I don't

know how to bring it up without sounding mad. I've been with my boyfriend for a year now and he's still using the same bottle of three in one shampoo slash body wash slash conditioner from when we first met. Oh my God, like the exact same one, like physically the same bottle hasn't run out. It has not changed. It has not run out and I am deeply, deeply disturbed. I'm deeply disturbed. That is not normal or okay. I get that boys aren't always as hygiene obsessedobsessed as us, and I cannot wrap my head around one bottle that has lasted him a whole year. Granted, it's like one of those massive one and a half litre ones, but it's still freaking me out. That either means he's using the tiniest drops

or barely washing at all. Now I find myself not wanting to go anywhere near his head. His hair's giving me mildly rinsed gym towel. Vile. And I'm scared to even kiss him on it. How do I bring this up without sounding like I'm attacking him? Are Toby and Jamie clean boys, or is this just a general boy thing? No, Jamie and Toby are like so clean.

Like so, so clean. Like Jamie washes his hands 50 times a day. Sorry, this is quite... Can I just say that I know what you mean, because if a boy has thick hair, right? If they don't blow dry it, it dries. And if it's not really clean, it has a sense of smell of damp to it. Obviously, Jamie doesn't suffer with that problem.

He does not have thick hair. But some guys have like this damp smell. It's like if you've not shampooed it and you've just showered it right? The hair's like a bit damp. It's almost that oily smell as well. Oh no, no, no. That for me is like- Which everyone gets. If you haven't washed, so like if I haven't washed my hair in a week and it's been up, I can like tell that my hair would smell like that oily smell.

Yeah. If I ever had someone kiss my head at that point, I would literally punch them in the face. Yeah. So what are we doing about this? I would say... Just buy him another shampoo and conditioner. Is there a bar of soap in the shower that you'll not see it? Is there a Sydney Sweeney bar of soap in that shower? Yeah.

What's going on? Oh, hang on a second. Is he showering at the gym? Very well could be showering at the gym. Because loads of guys do that. Secondly, like, does he smell? Because if he doesn't like, what's the fucking issue? I also, yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sometimes natural oils on the skin is actually much better for you. They actually say we should only be showering like once every three days. It's much better for our skin. Obviously washing and cleaning the necessary areas. Also not if you're in London. If you're in the countryside or like you're living on a beach, fine, but like not showering at the gym. It's also not fine for me. I wouldn't let it worry you.

I can't even know what you mean, like the three in one shampoo is just a bit of a nick in itself. Like head and shoulders in a boy's shower is like, oh god. Not good. We need to swap that out immediately. Yeah, like if you see like a boy you're showering with a bit of hair of stars, you're like, oh slay. Lovely.

Why don't you just go and buy him some lovely, just throw it away and just get some Olaplex and just be like, I thought it was empty. But he obviously, this boy needs a three in one situ. You know what you can get that's three in one, the faith in nature have like a two in one, which is like body wash and shampoo. Perfect. Get that, put it in there. It smells gorgeous.

And it's not toxin free. Yeah, it's all clean, toxin free so he can wash his willy with it. Yeah, and get him like a massive Sannex thing. They're fucking huge. Oh yeah, Sannex is great. And just like get him the zero massive Sannex thing, their fucking fusion. Oh yeah, Sannex is great. And just like get him the zero one and like, surely he's a sure. And then you know, you know you've bought that. And you can see when it started.

Yeah. Because like, I would say there's enormous things like probably last you two months. And because you've bought it, you can be like, God, you're getting through this awfully slowly. Don't be a bit more generous with your soap. Yeah, because you bought it. Be like, do you need me to say, I'm updating mine. Should I buy you another one? Like, oh my God, it's so full. Just throw it away. You've been together a year. It's fine. I throw Toby's stuff away

all the time. Oh, God, yeah. Just go, just get your stuff, put it in there and then throw it away and be like, I'm all, you can say you need to borrow it and go somewhere and then never bring it back. I do want to ask though, like if he doesn't smell, like this guy's got really good BO situation and like clean hair. It's a great sign, it's clean leather. It's a good sign.

Yeah, and like his hair is like cleaning itself at this stage in his life. This is not an issue. I really like won't look into this. I know what it means, can I just say that I think the head and shoulders shampoo is like a bit grotty, like the lids kind of falling off, like the whites are like a bit like yellow and like that's a bit rancid. So like get that in the bin and I think you can just like air it and be like by the way I keep replacing it but like it's full. Do you literally, I just be like do

you not watch? But don't you overthink it. I mean. Please let us know what you decide to do and what your tactics are on this but I really highly recommend that faith in nature to everyone. Dilemma three. Girls, I think I fancy my boyfriend's stepdad. God. Oh God. I wish I was joking but I'm actually not. So my boyfriend's stepdad. God. Oh, God. I wish I was joking, but I'm actually not. So my boyfriend and I have only recently made it official, but we've been dating for a while. He's so lovely and probably the first nice boy I've been with.

But then I met his stepdad and oh my God, it was too much. He's tall, tan, dresses well and is so confident in a really sexy way. At first, I thought it was a weird passing thought, but it's become a thing. I think about him a lot and it's not okay. To be clear, I haven't done anything and I never would, but my brain is spiraling. Is this a weird daddy issue situation? What do I do? How do I stop fancying my boyfriend's stepdad? I don't, I feel like- You obviously just fancy him. Yeah, like you're not going to do anything about it. It's like us fancying David Gandy.

Like, yeah, it's like, when someone loses them. Obviously I'm not going to do anything. It's like, well, yeah, he's probably not going to do anything either. He's just like, you know what I mean? Like if I did something, he'd definitely go for it. It's like, I know, I know, there's that. Obviously we fancy David Gandy, but like not going to do anything about that. Like what?

It would be like really horrific if you like... There's all about fancying someone, and it's all a bit fun when you fancy them, and you get a bit fanny flutter or whatever, but when you start thinking about someone all the time, that's game over. It's a problem. That's how you're actually in something. That's not good. No, no, we're not going to say you're in love because you're really not.

Also, it's becoming... It's such a thing you're so not allowed to do it that you probably want to do it more. Exactly. I think you've just got to ride the wave. I don't think see him. What's the stepdad? Yeah, but just avoid him all calls.

Well, sorry, how sexy is this man? I'd love to know. Please send him photos. Me too. I'm absolutely fascinated. Please send him photos. Hand, tall and dressed as well. We need to see photos.

You know what the annoying thing is? He's not even like the actual dad. So if it was the actual dad, you'd be like, oh, it's obviously in the blood and it's in the genetics. And like, that's why I'm fancying dad a little bit because he's just like his gorgeous son. But he's stepdad, so it also feels like it's slightly attainable because they're not related. Bradley Hooper. That's exactly who I'm picturing. And like, sorry, I'd be like, taint me. Do you think stepdad kind of fancies you? How do all of the vibes here? I need more information.

I'm like, is it giving like, he's going to corridor creep? Like what's the search? Well, I now want to know how fit the mum is. Why am I getting excited about this? I'm like, go for it. Is the boyfriend's mum really fit because she's with this really fit stepdad? Like I need to see the parents. We haven't had much info from you and I'm disappointed.

I'm now making guesses and I want to give some accurate advice. I know I'm really, I just think go for it. Sack off the boyfriend. No, no, no, we can't say that. Declare your love. We can't because she's breaking up of marriage. I forget he's married. So what we're going to do right now is we're going to send the photos into us or we will

tell you if he's worth breaking up. Breaking up marriage or breaking up your relationship. But no, we will give you like an honest opinion because you might just be like a bit like weirdly like googly-eyed. I mean, you might be like, he's really not that fair. But if he's like, blow your socks off, then we'll like, we'll have to reevaluate the situation. Absolutely. I wouldn't also hesitate in like telling your friends about this. Maybe just tell one person. Yeah, because you don't want to be loved. And get their opinion. Like, is he that fit?

Like, why am I fancying this guy? And if they're like, oh, no, then hopefully it'll put you off. But if she's like, oh, fuck. Oh my God, I'm picturing him like so charming. I'm literally picturing him badly, whoop. I don't know exactly enough. I don't know, like if Matthew McConaughey was like Toby Stepmer. It would just be a problem.

I don't know, there's a lot of people. Like, it's anyone like sexy and charming, it would just be a problem. I don't know, there's a lot of people. Like it's anyone like sexy and charming, it would just be a slight issue, wouldn't it? Yeah, because like when I would say men at like 40 to 50, there's like a really attractive thing. Once they go over that, like it's not in my, like I'm seeing you as my dad. Couldn't agree more. You're literally my dad, yeah. Yeah. So I'm picturing this guy could be like 48, he could be even 55 and a really young, good looking one. And I would be like 48, he could be even 55 and you're and a really young good looking one and

I would be like, oh, hello. Just trying to think. Whereas you know, like my dad's 65. So like at that point, it's like, no, no, no. I'm imagining just someone really turned with like grayish. You know who I am imagining? You know, the guy out of Parent Trap. Oh my God, you know who I'm thinking of? John Hamm. At that point, I would break up. I'd have to break up the marriage. So this is the thing, it's, oh yeah, we've just got to, you've got to weigh up your options, you know? You really do. And also is stepdad going to go for you? Like, is this a realistic relationship? Jon Hamm.

Oh God, if that was stepdad, that would be trouble because I can imagine him flirting as well. I can imagine him putting that- Just a little hand under the dining table. The back, all like when he helps you. Like all at the family dinner and he's just on the thigh. His hands at your lower back when he guides you to the table.

That, as your stepdad, I'm sorry. It really is giving daddy. I would be quite dressing up in lingerie and going to the loo hoping that I bump into him in the middle of time. Just to become an exhibitionist and just mince down in the corridor. Yeah. I would fall over and graze my knee and have to have a stocking underneath. I would seduce him. I'd have to. How are we going to make this happen? I don't know because

I'm fully envisioning Jon Hamm now and I can't get it out of my mind. Right. You must just go for the stepdad. You've got to send us some photos and then we can make an executive decision all of us as a group. Ultimately, if your boyfriend's sweet, we don't want to make you break up with him. I know, but like what's a boyfriend compared to Jon Hamm? Yeah. Like a 20 year old compared to that? Nothing. Yeah.

So true. All right. Well, we really, really got excited by that one. I know. Guys, that's the end of the dynamics. Oh my God, it's sad. We must follow up and get you guys a picture. We won't show you what he looks like, but we will describe it.

We'll do a description. And we will tell you on a scale of one to 10 how fit he is. Yeah. Imagine he's just not fit and it's all in the hair. Oh yeah, that'd be really disappointing. But at least we can tell you, like, do not do anything. Anyway, guys, that's the end of the episode. Love you guys. We love you so much.
