Hey guys, it's Sophie here. I'm Melissa. And welcome to our new podcast, Wednesday's We Drink Wine. Hey guys.

You got my full screen. Hey guys whoa that was hey guys no that was a full squeak full on full squeak you know no it was a boy squeak ball squeak you know you know when boys like voice starts to break and it goes and they're like that's what happened oh melissa guys i promise you i'm not like breaking my voice melissa's already had a glass of wine that's just a little one just a little one okay right we're gonna pour safe a glass now all her ice is melted so she's got like half a glass of water in her oh a tiny one for me oh tiny she's not feeling that well today guys um we are doing a little taste test we say every week and we're finally doing it yeah so we've got one we're gonna obviously paste the photos yeah let me actually take some pickeys right this second

just so that we don't forget yeah just so we don't forget we've got one that's called broglia la mary mary butch these words i bet they're beautiful I know it's really worse I bet that's Brock I think that's well it's obviously Italian I'm too dyslexic I actually embarrassed myself la semi horrendous la ma basically the expensive one

was 24 quid stunning Gabby and the other one was 6 pounds from Lidl which you guys recommended to us did they and because your recommendation

was so great last week yeah with the old jam shed knocked me for six that did guys absolutely knocked me for six and then this both bottles are really really nice yeah they are attractive bottles very sophisticated so now we've got a little glass each

I'm trying the expensive one first yeah okay fine oh my god stunning that is stunning guys the expensive one is lovely okay right let's go for a little it's not bad actually not bad the smell of it isn't as nice though it's not as nice god damn it damn it okay hold on do you know that one's colder i think that's we need to let it like okay so the little one we're going to be honest, we delivered it.

So it's come and it's actually warm. Right now we're going through this mid-heat wave, so it's like a little bit hot. I think the expensive one is smoother. Right, this is cooled down. I can feel my glasses cold. But that is really nice. They're both really nice. They're good.

If I didn't know, do you think if we didn't know which was which, we'd still be saying the same thing?'d still be that is a really nice gavi like i would literally have that any day of the week how much do we know how much that was six pounds that's stunning that's a steal guys i would i if there's not much in it there isn't that much in it at all that was slightly smoother and for some reason like in the glass it looks different which is weirding me out yeah it does it always looks a little bit like there's air bubbles in the cheaper wine. Yeah, it almost looks like it's Prosecco. That is air bubbles. How weird is that? It doesn't taste fizzy.

I know you sometimes get those wines where they taste a little bit fizzy. Oh, yeah, that's really acidity. I really hate that. This doesn't taste like that. Yeah. There's honestly not much in it. I really like them both. The first one is better.

The most expensive one is definitely better, but there's not much in it. If you're not fussy, obviously... There's really not obviously there's really we're all not willing to spend 24 pounds like i'm not doing that unless it's a really big yeah yeah like six pounds lovely jubbly yeah i'll be getting that one again 100 so will i and it's and the bottle's stunning yeah i've obviously posted it for you guys yeah it's a good one um also we've got to talk about a couple things, because have we all seen Kylie? I was going to call her Kylie. No, you know what?

I haven't watched it. I've seen, like, loads of people repost it, and I haven't been asked to watch it. I'm like, great, she's pregnant. Like, what's the big deal? They all get pregnant all the time. Do you know what I always think? Kim Kardashian, because she only, like, she only physically got pregnant herself once, and the other time she had surrogates.

No, she got pregnant twice. Oh, it's true, right? Did she? She got pregnant twice. And then she's like, never again. No, but they said to her she would literally not be able to be able to do it i hate to say it but like did they really say that yeah she had um she also got an x-ray on her bum and like said she hasn't got bum implants but like we all know that's fucking i think she gets suck fat yeah it's fat so like an x-ray wouldn't show you exactly anyway the i genuinely think she had

a problem although she would have done it herself like courtney loved having all the kids herself mate i think if you could have a surrogate i don't blame them if you can afford it it's like 250 grand per person golly gosh but like you don't have to go through like nine months of being no i don't i think you just do it the natural way if you can but like i get it if you can't and you can afford to do it that way. I think there's quite a lot of really wealthy people who have a surrogate because they just... Just because they can't be bothered to get pregnant.

Sometimes they can't be bothered, but, like, it is quite a frigging effort. Like, don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful thing, apparently. I'm definitely going to... What are you staring at? I'm looking at all your necklaces, like, all of your things are around the wrong way.

I know, it's the worst. It's okay, just embrace it. They don't know. I definitely will get pregnant myself. I'm not going to getrogate but like i don't like i know it's a really you can understand but i get it like that they've got so much money that they're like you know what i've had two pregnancies they were terrible they were awful i blew up like a balloon i couldn't walk because my feet she genuinely couldn't do it though she genuinely couldn't she has a really uh problem she almost miscarried with the second baby.

She was so bad. It was so bad. How would you know this? I didn't make you such a secret. Because I watched the Kardashians when she was pregnant. What is it, guys? What is it called? It's something...

Oh, God, what is it called? She's got a real big issue. And something really bad happens. Like, it's really bad. They said to her, you'll risk dying if you try and get pregnant again. Yeah, but I know, but also... It's actually really common to have a lot of problems when you get pregnant like it's not uncommon no you don't hear about it that much people don't talk about it people don't everyone thinks it's so easy to get pregnant that's why i quite rate her and chloe for like

being so open about how hard they've like found it and all that shit i want to have how many kids do you want her i'm middle child of obviously there's three of us and like I like that number but I think it also like I know it just depends on like I guess where I am in life and like yeah money is art yeah because like the more you have then the less you can give to each of them effectively and like do for each of them

so I think that all those things are like sensible things to think about but also I think if I was to have for example a boy and a girl i'd be happy to stop there so would i but i i'd also if i had two girls i'd maybe be like okay let's try for one more i want to have a boy yeah and if there was two boys i'd be like need a girl i need a girl if i need girls i'll be happy sorry i would i would want a boy i would like having my like i've grown up with obviously a brother and a sister and like best dynamic ever

like I love having a brother and I love having a sister so much yeah I've only grown up with a sister and I adore it so I definitely know I want two girls but I would love a little boy to creep in that's why I've born a girl that'd be the dream also I think it's quite nice I know it's an old-fashioned thing to say but I think it's really nice for the boy and the son like that relationship like I see my brother and my dad like they are best friends forever like that relationship is so lovely so I would love to have the same thing for like my child and like whatever but you never know like we could end up with four boys each imagine i mean i'd probably love them but they'd be like oh my god i'd be like give me a girl babies what i'm running out like they'd be

so blonde mini jamie no they'd be so blonde guys big Jamie. No. They'd be so blonde, guys. Big brown nails and little tan little things. Blonde little tan things. They're so cute. For Jamie babies. No. But they'll be half you as well. Baby Jamies. Am I right?

They will be baby Jamies. Jamie babies. Jamie babies. Baby Jamies. That's what the next week should be called. Jamie babies. Yeah. Instead of jelly babies.

Oh my god, that's so funny. Also, did you know that Britney is free? We're one step closer to getting Britney free because the dad has filed to end his conservatorship, is that what it's called? Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know exactly what you mean. I've heard people talk about that.

It's a technical legal thing, which I don't understand, which obviously means that he owns everything that she does. Yeah, he was in control of everything. She literally couldn't get pregnant oh my god i think she felt like it's been forever did you watch the documentary no honestly i just can't the poor poor girl you just never know her videos that she posts on instagram i'm like oh god she's like crying for her it looks like she's got loads of dark makeup on that would have been done nicely and she's cried

and it's all gone halfway down her eyes and then she's like i'm gonna dance have you seen the videos yeah i'm dancing and i'm like god that like it looks painful to watch her like bless her she has a couple kids doesn't she um okay quite a few what's this called jamie jamie jamie lynn spears does anyone remember zoe 101 i love that show oh my god it's zoe no i used to have sass yeah i loved her I thought she was great. There's also, like, a podcast. These two girls, like, I think they created an Instagram account, like, just sort of dissecting Brittany's Instagram. Interesting. And then they now blew up as a podcast.

Wow. And, like, they're, like, huge. Like, I think they were in the documentary and stuff. And they just discussed Brittany? They're basically, like, yeah, they created an Instagram just discussing, like, her bizarre Instagram post. And now they, like, yeah. they basically didn't quite involved in like

like that's incredible creating the whole movement to free britain you know i know girl power yeah so that's really great and then also guys we've had the most epic follow-up from the listener do you remember the girl who asked about the right person, wrong time, and whether we needed it? Anyway, do you want to hear the follow-up? I'm ready if I start this. Go on. So, basically, we got together when I was 16, got engaged at 19, and were due to get married. But a few months before the wedding, he ended things.

He ended things as he needed some time on his own to process some heartbreaking things that had happened. At the time, it broke me, but it's been two years, and I've now understood why he did that. And it was the best thing that happened it's changed me as a person as i've become a lot more confident and managed to get a super big role in my job stunning amazing i love that we both have casual things with other people not really dating and certainly not other relationships we've been casually seeing each other again recently and we've called stuff off again three times but we keep coming back to each other. Am I just being naive and should I call stuff off or should I put a cut off point if nothing changes?

Okay, right. I remember thinking back to when I was 19. I'm a different human. 19, I think she just got to university. I'm a different human being. I'm a different person. I'm going to speak from personal experience right now when you're that young you i'm sorry 16 you're still a child like you're yeah she's only 20 more now okay but 21 i'm

still like i'm still a baby yeah that's what i mean like golly gosh i think that you need to accept that relationship for what it was it's your first love obviously it's such a young love it feels so intense like oh my god i can't live without this person whatever but like you can trust me you fucking can and like there is so much other stuff out there and like you're almost not allowing each other to move on fully because you keep coming back to each other you're not allowing those other doors and you do not want to let yourself waste another two three years of your life going back and forth back and forth we know a relationship like that that's gone back and forth back and forth we know a relationship

like that that's gone back and forth like over 10 years and it's just been you know a complete waste of their both their times to be completely honest it's frustrating to like watch it happen it's like a friendship from like a friendship point of view like looking at your friends doing that like if i was you i would really think like there is so much more out there in the world than this one boy that i had like my friend when i was 16 like you are a child yeah at 16 we heard it there first sorry girls i know that's quite harsh but like i just feel like you've you've got so much more to live for like there's so much exploring to do like have fun i think you need to cut ties with him if in five years when you are maybe 26 27 and you've just you've explored you've both

tried a lot of other relationships and you decide and there's nothing else and you still are thinking about each other and you come back then fine like then you're at a right age to give it a go and like get married or whatever but seriously right now absolutely i really don't think it's a good plan yeah we do actually have do you want to have a little bit of news guys i don't know why you're saying it was wrong anyway we've got some news well we're gonna have a very balanced podcast because we now she's single she's single not me melissa so four-year relationship broke up last week um we had to tell you guys yeah so last podcast we did it without saying anything but I just feel like I'm lying not saying it now yeah we have to share it

with you guys so we've had to share it it's all good it's all good in the hood but you know what we will get into details further down the line we will we will be honest but I feel like right now for the time being we have to be respectful everything is good on both parties everything is very amicable nothing bad has has happened. No one cheated. Nothing like that. So we're all good on that front, but we will get, like,

we'll write in my own dilemma about, like, what has happened to me. If I could do a past dilemma for myself, I'll write it in as if it was that. Like, that's what we'll do, like, further down the line

when it can be, like, a bit more respectful. But right now, we just thought we'd let you know. You're going to have a single girl's point of view now? There you go. It's going to be so different.

It's going to be really different. It's going to be really different. Honestly honestly there's a whole new side of me oh my god she's obviously on that hype oh god no no no it happened at the right time we're very positive well don't know why you're saying we you're as in we as in like me yeah i'm still very much in a relationship but i've got i'm so if he's feeling very positive for me like it was honestly the best thing i'm feeling in a very good place yeah you're best place i've ever like how like isn't it weird like isn't it so weird look guys well this is what you've got to aspire to be you've got to you know everything happens for a

reason and timing is everything and you know what you bounce back from things and nothing is and also nothing you know you create a great memory together you spend four lovely years yeah I think with girls we mentally do things before we actually physically do them so like in my mind i knew that it wasn't right a long long time ago i'm not going to give an exact timeline right now but like a long time ago i just know it wasn't right having the balls to actually do it when no one's been a dick no one's done anything wrong nothing bad has happened nobody argues you're going against the grain so loving he's so nice and i'm like what the fuck is wrong with me why am i feeling like this like no no you fight and you have this battle against like yourself and your mind and um it was definitely the right thing to do for both of us um so we are in a good place

i'm very happy to be on my own i feel like i'm excited to be single in my 20s. Mate, she's only 24, guys. I've never really been single since I was like 15, which is atrocious. And she's a cat. Ah. So I'm excited about life. I'm like pimping you out to all of our podcast listeners. They're all girls. No, have you got some boys?

Got a couple boys in there. No, no, but honestly, I'm very, I'm happy for you both because I adore you both. And it was 100% the best thing for both of us. I think it, yeah. But like, obviously we're going to have as much, I guess, respect for this moment of, I guess it's like a sensitive moment for maybe like the other person. I can't believe you didn't even question, you didn't even give your dilemmas to me.

Like guys, I was as much in the dark as you guys. I had no idea what was going on. No idea to give a dilemma to you, don't lie. Only a couple of days before it happened. No, it was like a week or two before oh was it yeah yeah but then before that there was a six month blip and then before that there was a year blip where i opened up to somebody else apparently when i was drunk oh yeah i heard about that i don't even remember doing it how terrible oh my god did i say that yeah see well

there you go anyway so you know what i feel like us us girls we're very rational like we brew up things in our mind we really like evaluate the pros and cons and like we come to a sensible decision whereas boys just like do things like cheat yeah or without labeling boys or boys they're not necessarily kind of pussy yeah they pussy out and they get to the point where you like almost resent each other whereas you've avoided that exactly you hopefully will one day potentially be friends you know i think we're friends now yeah to be honest but like we have no desire to sort of like obviously see each other i have no like i'm like oh yeah we have separate friendship groups like pretty much like he's got a very strong social circle i have mine and like which is

actually really good because i think if we were so intertwined it would be difficult well you know but you are you are in some ways we're bound to obviously see each other again but like we he has a very strong friendship group that he's had since way before me and so have i so like yeah i'm not gonna it's not like we've grown as in like 16 to 19 maybe we should get all the girls or boys to send in their dilemmas maybe more directed at you yeah because i feel like you've got a whole new perspective on this i really do i have so much to say about this guys well here you go buckle in yeah our topic of the week is that sort of nights out yeah because we haven't been having a lot of

nights out recently your girl has been no no no guys it's been one night out yeah but she's also making me drink every night because she's like literally taking me under her wing it's like her single way i'm definitely loves it though don't let guys let's just stop it right now i'm living vicariously i love it i am but I'm also feeling honestly terrible. I feel like it's my old age. Sophie and Jamie have literally been like my parents since this breakup, guys. Yeah, Melissa was like, yeah, but I'm just going to be with you and Jamie for a time. So I was like, yeah.

So it's fine. And then Sophie goes, okay, well, I'm going away for three days. So you're going to have to like try and find something to do. What are you going to do then? I don't know. Jamie's still here, so it's all right. Okay, right. Let's get into this. Okay. Hey, guys. Love, love, love your pod. do what are you gonna do i don't know jamie's still here so it's all right okay right let's get into this dilemma okay okay hey guys love love love your pod thank you so much basically

my dilemma is i'm meeting the boy i'm seeing friends okay right this is always the first time ever at a party this weekend i don't even know any of them as they don't even live near me so i'm quite nervous it's so natural to feel nervous about that. I get it. Like I know I am not socially inept and don't want him to feel like I'm clinging to him. So just wondering how to act. And most importantly, how much do I drink?

Because I can't be sober, but I will not be the girl on the floor. Love you. Any tips would be very appreciated. As good first impression is key. I totally agree with that. with that okay right i have an opinion on the straight away what do you think i personally am just so good in these situations yeah get a bit tipsy get friends the girls take them to the loo have a laugh with them that's just what i would do yeah i would do that i i i thrive on meeting new people i love it i know that for someone who doesn't or is a bit nervous maybe just get yourself

in that headspace. Get yourself in that headspace. Have a drink. Oh my god have a drink. Have a drink but be aware of how much

you're drinking because I totally agree with you no one wants to be the girl on the floor. Oh yeah the new girlfriend being really cringe and drunk absolutely not. No no no no

just be a bit tipsy be so aware of what you're drinking you know it's always good if you see someone else and you think they're drunk because then you know that you're not so drunk um but just be as chatty and confident as you can be like just go for it be complimentary yeah but just be really really migrate towards the girls oh i think he's she's meeting the guy

friends then that's always fun it always fun the flirt of it just have a little bit of a flirt love here we go single man oh no no no as in like even if i like you always have to flirt with the friends like brush their ego a little bit like that i was gonna say brush her arm i was like no that's a bit enough right i'm pretty sure the boy like oh my god i love your jumper like no i i see i don't i just would get on with them me i love you i'm just thinking back to when going to a wedding and you like know the friends yeah well enough to compliment them on like oh my god just you look lovely in a suit yeah yeah well like that kind of vibe like just flirt a bit just have fun don't they'll like you just relax don't overthink it because that's when it's like yeah don't and don't be nervous

and don't be clingy to him because he'll probably think it's more attractive if you're like interacting with the go to if you're ever on your own go to the bar and order yourself a drink like because i know jamie like mingles off everywhere i'm fine on my own but like he really would never stay with me at an event which is fine but i can imagine for other people that is you're like you can be stuck on your bloody own so just make sure you go get a drink or just you gotta you gotta just bite the bullet and just ask him the question like start a conversation because like there's nothing worse than him looking at you and being on your own and do not cling to him you know what i know this is a weird thing to say but i would almost effectively act as a single girl don't do anything that isn't

single but like yeah act as if you're a single girl in a room and you've just got to make friends you've just got to chat to boys like don't go in with the whole i'm this and this is girlfriend like yeah i'm with him don't you're your own person just be your own independent girl confidence and he'll just fancy the hell out of you and be like wait she's sick and all his eyes will be like she's she's great girl yeah exactly. Love your jumper. Yeah don't say to his friend I love your jumper. Unless he's wearing something really sick and you're like oh quite like that.

Or another good thing is like buy all the boys a round of drinks if you're a bit awkward. Oh stunning should we get some shots? Or yeah but maybe not a shot because she might be that girl on the dance floor. No no just pretend to do it i do that all the time oh yeah throw it over your shoulder or if you're ever left on your own go to the person next year i'm just going to the bar do you want a drink and then he'll

probably come with you and you'll start a conversation like that's always a topic conversation yeah fandu casino daily jackpots guaranteed to hit by hit by 11pm with your chance at the number one feeling, winning.

Oh, God. I mean, Shane. For context, we had broken up four years prior my current boyfriend was in the club at the same time and neither myself or my ex have mentioned about anything about it since what does she mean they've not mentioned it to the current boyfriend or they've just never spoken they've just like not mentioned it to each other or anything like just has she told the current boyfriend probably fucking not that's awkward oh yeah by the way my ex told me last night he still loves me oh sick yeah thanks why would you tell me that i mean it's not a question but i mean it's not a

question i wouldn't tell your boyfriend yeah i wouldn't tell your boyfriend but then are you nice to be loved by someone though isn't it yeah i'd be like bonus sweet obviously was doing something right in that relationship whatever nice little ego beast we all need that every now and then yeah i just take it like cool just like sweet yeah as long as you don't of course you love me as long as it doesn't play on your mind yeah yeah don't let it play on your mind because you know what's weird about i was thinking about this the other day like when i was at school when you hear someone else likes you it automatically makes you think about them a bit more even if you've never thought of them twice so if you hear like some older boy that you've always like looked at and been like

yeah like nice okay if you suddenly hear like he fancies you it makes you just think oh doesn't well no it's like if you mentioned a random like boy anyway i'd like think is that on your brain they're just on your radar then suddenly but. But you being single, you've got a whole other view on it. Um, it would make you, like, consider them as, like, an option, effectively. I mean, I wouldn't take all gross. Who the fuck am I kidding? No, but, like, okay, right, let's just say, and this is really, like, tough. Let's just say, Matthew McConaughey is, like, ooh, fancy a bit of Sophie Booth. I'd probably say, Jamie, can I have sex with him?

Because, like, I'm so in love with him. And if he said no, I'd have to continue breaking up with him. Okay, right, let's just bring down the fancy a bit of Sophie Boone I'd probably say to Jamie can I have sex with him because I'm so in love with him and if he said no I'd have to continue breaking up with him let's just bring down the bar a bit Matthew Mornay's maybe a bit high he's like my number one coach okay right do you know what I mean though let's just pretend like there's somebody that exists

that's kind of in your circle kind of not or whatever you're aware of who they are you haven't thought twice about them, but you know who they are. Oh, yeah. Then you just suddenly think, like, oh, I'm going to go to this event, yeah, he fancies me a bit, ha-ha. Yeah, just because it's more like it makes you feel great. Yeah, it makes you feel great, but it almost then, like,

if you're not 100% satisfied and happy in your relationship, it might make her think, like, uh-oh, like, this is an ex. Yeah, but don't think that. I think it'll just make you feel great either way, and you'll probably just... Don't let it fest in your mind and don't let it affect you because he's an ex for a reason and it was four years ago.

So that was like a lifetime. Yeah, and like otherwise, if you'd said to us today, I felt the same, you haven't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you would have. Different ballgame.

Without him saying that. Exactly. If you really did love him. If you really did, yeah, yeah, yeah. So don't let it cloud that mind. And to be honest, if he's not mentioned it again, he might just be jealousing you with your name.

Yeah, and like, I think he's like, we all say things like we just want to get what we want. Like, it's terrible, but we do. I hear you. It's like, we all say things we want to just get what we want. Like, we do. Do we now? Yeah. Gabby's doing wonders to her.

Oh, golly gosh. Okay, next night out dilemma. Is it normal to still get annoyed when your boyfriend gets really drunk been together for four years it is it's fucking annoying and i feel like they get annoyed with you as well if you were hammered bombing everything yeah if i got so drunk james you'd be like oh you look a bit like this gross girl and likewise when he gets if he i don't mean he's not done when you're together when you get drunk together you're really good fun both of you yeah we're wicked we're like they're literally the best couple like

but i would if i was someone else i would bring my i bring myself to the dinner party like as if oh my god you gotta be fun right i'm a good drunk yeah so am i yeah you are but you get really loud yeah i get gobby, guys. It's like, shut me up. Fuck's sake. Jamie's a good drunk too, but like, back in the day. Was I down on Friday? No, you were mute.

You were so quiet. Like, she either goes one way or the other. No, you know what? There was music, there was dancing, so that just like, No, you were hammered on Friday. We went out on Friday, guys. I actually hammered. She was so drunk.

But, mute because there was music. And dancing. I know. Oh, God. The gossip. The gossip. on Friday because she was so drunk but mute because there was music and dancing oh god the gossip the gossip um right yes you can still get annoyed

100% because it's really boring when you have to look after them depends how often it is if it's every like couple months and you're like oh

I mean how annoying don't have a serious vibe no it's like it's not worth it everyone needs to let loose once in a while yeah if you're in a relationship

for four years like there's gotta something something's got to give at some point getting drunk with your friends like i think is fine as long as it's not too often you don't want someone getting drunk every flipping weekend that's like so annoying um as into a point where they're hammered yeah yeah yeah i don't i've got so many stories about jamie when he's absolutely hammered i just get my own i i tell me i've pushed wait he always you know he's naked at all times i mean everyone on the podcast knows this by now he obviously like gets into bed naked right and i'll just push he'll be so loud snoring he snores whenever he's hammered and it's honestly just like shut up like stink of wine and like just alcohol like i just pushed him on the floor i pushed him so hard

once he fell on the floor that Oh, that's not funny. You might smack his head on the bedside table. No, my bed's really low. Like, it wasn't like a... Did he wake up like, oh my God. He woke up like... Did he think he'd done it himself? He came to, and he was on the floor,

and I was like, Jamie, you passed out on the floor. And he was like, oh, he's going back to sleep. He slept the whole night on the floor. No. There's been loads of things I did. Oh, last friday did i not tell you me and manissa went out we ordered well jamie ordered so much pizza oh my god on the way home i was like what there was a lot of talk at pizza and i thought maybe it was to um

killer thing killers yes it was but then it we left before we went so then you had to reorder jamie ordered so much honestly like, a party of 12. Anyway, it arrives, I'm like, what the hell, I don't want to eat this stupid pizza. He kept saying to me,

press, you want some pizza? I was like, no. I was like, I went to bed, and he, I left him on the sofa,

and he just fell asleep with his legs, sat down, naked, no fully clothed, which is like, a really rare occasion, with all the boxes, because he didn't touch it no i was like

woke up in the morning he was like oh what is this he was like oh my god i was like shame i wasn't that drunk i started to drink water towards the end of the night i felt i was too drunk i was sensing it i was like so those panties at so your house they're really really slippery we have another dilemma okay here it is i'm terrified to go out i don't really have a girl group but my bff is glued to her boyfriend oh no that's really hard that is tough like i'm really happy that like some of my girlfriends are single also like i'm not but i'm so great yeah sophie's like the best like she's tied to her boyfriend but like they both come out and they're like so fun so it's like what should she do i don't know that i mean it's not like i don't i don't know because i'm okay because i'm not terrified to go out i don't

know same but you can't you wouldn't go out to like somewhere by yourself no i thought but she'd go back oh no i i say i've been out when it's I've actually I've never done that but I reckon I've been that girlfriend when you know you're going out and like you're just like sorry I'm going home I'm over it

I just want to go home and your single best friend's like we've literally have one drink everyone's situation is obviously different and you just have to focus on yourself

and like get yourself in a good place with your situation not crave another situation so okay fine I don't have that many girlfriends. I've got a couple. They're all coupled up, whatever. Get yourself dating.

Like, download one of those, like, dating app things. Get yourself busy. Like, go on Hinge. Go on, yeah, go on a couple fun dates. And, like, when you can go out with your girlfriends, even if it's just, like, a girl's dinner or a girl's lunch because they don't want to stay out too late because they want to go home to their boyfriends or if you go out with your girlfriend your and his and her boyfriend maybe say like oh can he bring it can he bring a

maid like even if it's not like a setup like just so that there's a force and fun situation and it's not like you're on third wheeling because being third wheel sucks being a third wheel sucks unless it's with us but it doesn't feel like I'm a third world with you guys. Feels like I'm your child. Yeah, because we're not... I'm not glued to Jamie. That's so different. I know the type of girl she's obviously preparing.

I know exactly the type of girl she's preparing. Like, they're obviously just very... It's a really hard one. I agree with everything Melissa says. I think you've got to just socialise, like, outs. You've got to just try and broaden your friendship group. And also, like, give it a go. Everything, you know, the scared... Sometimes being scared is group and also like give it a go everything you

know the skirt sometimes being scared is a good thing and it's something you'll overcome being scared to like mingle without your best friend put to your side like you might make another best friend yeah i think like explore like the work angle and like meeting new people is scary but like you'll feel so great when you have a you have a wicked night out. I know it sounds weird, but the thought of, like, somebody not knowing anything about you is a lovely fresh slate. Yeah, you can make up late, is that? No, you don't have to say hard stuff. I'm a professional dancer. It's a fresh, clean slate kind of vibe.

Like, it's always, like, a bit mysterious. Like, it's quite fun. Obviously, it's only fun, like, and mysterious if, like, you're dating somebody. Like, meeting a new friend. Like, it's not like that. But I think, like, the thought of, like, meeting new people and stuff is always quite exciting so i think don't let it like be don't like like don't like yeah dawning on you kind of just you've got to sort of know how great you are and like you know really just push yourself out the boat and push yourself just really like

push yourself out the boat yeah push yourself out the boat push yourself out of your comfort zone. Push the boat out. Yeah, push yourself out the boat. Push yourself out the boat. Go on. But just do it. You'll feel so great in the next day. And like, when it comes down to it, what have you got to lose?

Like, what's the worst that can happen? So agree. The worst that can happen. You go home. You go home. And the worst that can happen if you put yourself out of it

is someone that says no. That's the worst thing. Yeah. But you're a hot piece of ass, so don't but don't stunning we've got to go for these things in life you only live once we've got some really funny night out stories i'm going to show you ready for this one team i'm ready i pissed in a guy's wardrobe thinking it was a toilet i was

He is. Loveliest guy down to the very soul. You both are. Right, should we rate the wine?

Okay, so I'm going to rate the Gavi the expensive one. We're not going to do a winch of the beat this beat, because I think we've right winched We also can't really winch now, because I've got no boyfriend to winch. Well, I can. You can. I don't have anything to winch. I can actually have an input in your wininges because I'm so in the relationship. Yeah, what are my whinges?

I guess that I don't ever know what he's doing. Going. And I really like that about our relationship. We were discussing this the other night. We went after the last night and I was like, she's like, oh, he's going hit. And I was like, God, how did you not know that? And she was like, that anything that keeps the spice going. It's like so mysterious.

Yeah. You have no idea. Yeah. Spontaneous. Well, he's just like so away with the fairies. He never knows what he's i mean he's interesting yeah i guess it'd be quite annoying if he was like with me all the time yeah you know what i mean you need to like it's perfect this point in your relationship what did

we say quantity or quality it's quantity over quality time so like you have quality time over quantity whereas what i've had quality over quantity yeah whereas what i've had quality over quantity yeah so what i've had it over oh shit what did i say quantity in my relationship it was like quality quantity of time rather yeah you spent a lot a lot of time together yes and it wasn't like i guess special time as such whereas what you and jamie have is like not a huge huge amount of time together but when you do spend time together it's's, like, amazing and, like, so fun and, like, special. Well, yeah, we do live with each other, so there's a fair amount of time.

But, yeah, we don't, yeah. Anyway, moving on. I'm moving on. The wine. I'm going to rate this a seven and a half, maybe an eight, the Gavi, the expensive ones. I'm going to give eight. And then I'm going to give this a seven.

I'm going to give that a seven, too. Really great. Because I also think if you bring price into it, I'd probably give that higher because it's just more value for money. Same, if you consider the price, it is more value for money. I totally agree. I would love to like see what actually gives you more of a hangover.

Like, I wonder if there's actually a difference in quality about that. I don't think there'll be a difference. I know, I'm absolutely bullshit. There won't be a difference. Do you reckon it's just all completely ass? God, 13.5. I love reading that. I'm like, well, she really does.

Every time it's like above 12. Oh, this is 12. Oh, so the cheap ones less alcoholics so more expensive one would give you more of a hangover it's actually better so you're a bit more drunk lovely yeah lovely melissa's also got four glasses no i don't sophie's just like passed me over one of her glasses to finish off um anyway guys we love you so much love you guys thank you for listening thank you for listening please write in your downlams next week let's talk about breakups because we've got or if you're considering breaking up having doubts in
