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

Welcome back to Wednesday. We drink wine. We drink wine. Oh, look at us go there. And we're actually recording this on a Wednesday these days, which is lovely. Yeah, yeah, every Wednesday now. Every Wednesday. Every blooming Wednesday. We've got the sun shining. It's a positive day today, guys. It is a positive day. Positive day. And Melissa's just got back up all day. Guys, single life is exhausting. I honestly don't know what you're on about because I've been living it with you. I just, it just, like, you're just a bit more busy, I find.

Well, no, you're not. You make yourself more busy. You make yourself more busy, which is good. It's a good thing, but it is tiring. God, yeah, you used to literally just be i know i need to just have like a couple of days of doing absolutely nothing in the evenings you know do some washing cook myself a nice meal cooking for one's quite depressing oh no i love cooking just for one i i'm used to cooking for two so that's like i don't like cooking for two i

just don't like surfing the two plates like it's messy it gets complicated like i just like to put it all on my plate and there we go done oh okay but the minute i have to cook for so much washing to do dishwasher honey no but like the chopping then you've got to throw it away like oh but you've got to do all the same for one person but if anything it's more wasted that's why I don't like it as much whereas with two

like I buy two fillets of wild salmon cook them both stunning do you know why I don't like cooking because Jamie always wants something different

oh yeah faff no it's just that yeah yeah you can't cook two things he wants like a spaghetti bolognese what am I Mary Berry

oh my god oh god should we talk about our wine yeah so it's the cheapest one yeah well actually no maybe no i don't think it's the cheapest it is very cheap it's eight quid and it's called 19 crimes the bottle is real cool yeah we're drinking the bread it's lovely it's divine yeah we're really enjoying it good value for money and a cool bottle i really recommend this one it's very drinkable i would say you could drink it with anything i mean it's not too like heavy or like it's really nice it's very like yeah light almost yeah we'll put a photo up there but guys i do recommend that one i love these cheap ones that we're finding

what was the other two cheap ones that we're finding what was the other two cheap ones that we've had which we really love red wines the one that knocked us for six oh jammy dodger

or something oh jam jam that was that was a lot thicker and a lot more indulgent than this one

this one's a lot like and then my other favourite is this is good apothec apothec is my absolute fave

oh god I just love the vanilla chocolate I think jam shed was more creamy than that do you we need to try

them all against each other at some point in our lives yeah we really do um okay we've had some

really cute emails from you guys as always which I love getting guys these are so wholesome it makes me want to

cry okay you go okay girls I just had to message say your podcast is so great It's like listening to me chatting to my best friend I'm trying to lose my baby weight And it is making it so much easier

Power walking with the pram listening to you two I love you Love it so much and I've now gone to the beginning To listen to them all I'm nearly done Oh my god that is such a cute thing to do Got to comment on the friends laugh that you both have. You were saying it can help with anxiety when you watch it.

Well, I had my baby in May, nine weeks premature, so I was in hospital staying on my own with contractions for two weeks before my little girl came. Well, friends became the go-to. Midwives would come to my room all times of night commenting on what episode I was on. I even had friends in the go-to. Midwives would come to my room all times of night commenting on what episode I was on. I even had friends in on my actual labour. Oh my God, how wonderful.

I would do that. I reckon I would too. Oh, thank you. I know crazy, but it helps. I'm definitely going to copy you. It's honestly the best thing. So I'm with you for the friends love. P.S. Would you consider comparing non-alcohol wines on our podcast?

We're about to do that. We could do a month of non-alcohol wines on our podcast we're about to do that we could do a month of non-alcoholic wine i think we should yeah four weeks that's not too bad and then i'm just trying to stick to drinking just one day a week on the weekends just to kind of get myself because i told you guys i've given myself a bit of a stomach issue from all that drinking all the acid it like hurts is it still bad to be fair it's much better but that's because i have been taking do you feel bloated yeah it's like i eat one bad? to be fair it's much better but that's because I have been taking it do you feel bloated? yeah it's like I eat one thing or I drink and it just bloats

and it's like hard and hurts a bit no it's the most frustrating thing yeah and you know me I don't really it must be what I must just live with that it's basically your stomach acid the lining of your stomach irritating and then it making more acid which then obviously just makes it hurt and bloat.

Yeah, I feel really bloated right now. So I think that's a good plan. We'll try some good non-alcoholic wines. Quite excited about that. That's a whole area that I've never gone into, non-alcoholic drinks. Have you? Never tried any? I have tried non-alcoholic Prosecco.

I really liked it. And I've tried non-alcoholic Prosecco. I really liked it. Uh-huh. And I've tried non-alcoholic liquors, but, like, no, I don't really drink liquor for the fact that I like the taste. Neither, neither, neither, neither. Wine, I actually just friggin' love it. Yeah, yeah, I'm so with you. So, like, if I can find one that actually tastes nice,

I just really want to try and find one that isn't so sweet. But anyway, this is what we're going to be doing. We're going to be trying out some non-alcoholic wine. We've only been given a couple options, so if anyone does have any recommendations send them in because i'm not sure we have enough to do a comparison each week but we definitely got i've definitely got enough to try one separately each week which i think we should definitely do right also just to say to you that it's just freaking amazing what you've gone through with your baby freaking amazing and we love you i'm so glad we've been able to help.

I know, that's so good. And congratulations and well done to you. Yeah. Magical. We've also done something quite jokes. Someone just sent a picture of, I don't even know who the girl is, but they sent...

She's called Zayra. Anyway, she's like some fit Latina lady I feel like we shouldn't even cover this we're saying it we're going to post a photo someone said it's the Latina version of me

it does look quite like you you know what it is, it's the brown hair and the brown eyes and I feel like a lot of people actually say that about a lot of people. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm not a celebrity to be compared to. Oh, you look kind of like Mila Pino. Someone said to me before when she was younger. Yeah.

Oh, you look kind of like... What's that girl from the Vampire Diaries? I don't know. Do you know what I mean? I feel like anyone with similar colourings, people just say, oh, yeah, you look quite like her. Anyway, getting on to our dilemmas, because boy, am I excited.

I'm excited. These look juicy, guys. Yeah, because we've got one from a guy first. This is so exciting. We fucking love getting on with a guy. I know, this is such a rare occurrence. Do you want to read this one? I kind of want to stalk this guy after. It's just intriguing to see what his life's like writing a book.

Yeah, he sounds like a man to me as well. Okay. Okay, girls, I have a dilemma. I'm a man, gay obviously, and I love the podcast Keep Up the Fabulous Work. Thank you. All of my girlfriends seem to be getting into relationships, married, or sorry, just boring. Oh my god um my question is what does one do when all friends are in relationships and don't make time for you fussy i just love him i

feel like we could actually give him a shout out because i reckon he didn't even say keep it maybe we shouldn't we don't risk it we don't risk it don't risk it but yeah we need okay so have you ever been in this scenario where like all of your friends are in relationships because right now i'm actually very happy with my balance of single friends and friends and relationships i'm i'm okay with it i have been but i kind of it came off the back of me being like do you know what i've had a really fun whatever i kind of like i'm quite glad everyone's being a bit boring because i probably i should probably stay in a bit more right i've never had it when i'm like raring to go out but i think when you're getting 20 when everyone's settling down and having children a different ball game that is yeah that's a whole new ball

game but do you know what the thing is obviously that's kind of the the age i imagine his friends are because yeah you know getting married that's a whole other step I agree do you just think that you know I think everyone goes through that stage I think everyone at some point like you'll go through the stage when all everyone around you starts getting married and there might be a week or a year or whatever don't make me don't make me say that no not you but it's in me as well as in you because you're with me but like i will i will probably go through the stage where all of my friends get married before like everyone has to go through because no one moves at the same pace of life so true some people don't get married until they're in their 40s but like even if it's a month or so like everyone will hit be into at some point in your life everyone's going to be in

a different stage to their friend otherwise you're literally you know you're living don't don't don't like hate on the process if you're not all at the same stage and i do get it it is boring when people don't go out and you're just so ready to have fun but then i feel like maybe it's time to branch out meet some new friends new young guys and girls that are you know willing to go out to be young but like also just at a similar stage of life to you i also sometimes think that we're in situations like this you can think you almost think people are being boring just because they're getting married you assume you're like but they're actually not they're actually not like it's like for example like me if i'm going out with you on a saturday and i've got dinner with my friend chrissy on a

friday she's like no you're gonna be or i'm seeing her on saturday so she's like you're gonna be so boring because you've been out on friday no i'm not like people just preempt yeah yeah yeah yeah i know exactly so you perhaps are just saying right they've got married they're gonna be boring in fact they could be married and be like more fun than yeah friends because like they're more up for a night out. And also you know what. They're better wing. Wing men and women.

When they are. Married or in a relationship. And I actually often think. Because some of Jamie's friends have babies. And they're just like. The most fun people ever. And I think it's because they're like. Doesn't make you feel like you're missing out.

Or like you're. Being bummed out. That they're being boring. Because they're so much fun. They're so fun. And do you know what I think is. Is because. You know. Being a parent.'s a real full-time job so when they are on a night out yeah they're freaking like they're having a night out so you know every cloud sort of

has a silver silver lining like i actually think couples are more fun i do too yeah because single people are like looking for the next guy in the club or the next girl in the club. Whereas in a couple, you're just there to dance and have freaking fun. I agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're not worried about what you look like, really. Anyway, I hope that helped. Next up, we've got Dynamo 2, picking bridesmaids.

Hi, Sophie and Melissa. Please keep this one anonymous. I need some advice when it comes to picking bridesmaids. Oh, my God. please keep this one anonymous i need some advice when it comes to picking bridesmaids oh my god i was gonna say who are you gonna pick you'll be one of us how do you think you would go about picking yours would you go for your longest childhood friendships or choose who you're closest to now interesting interesting i have it's really crossed my mind or would you choose friends who have chosen you to be their bridesmaids in the past luckily i've never been one before who you think would choose

you to be in the future rather than friends who you wouldn't as they have closer friends family right oh god would you take people's feelings into account and try not to offend anyone or would you simply do what feels right for you regardless p.s i love the podcast and you're close to this night so tell me what your thoughts are on it um well i actually don't know i want a bridal party but i think i just want a maid of honor so like i'm right and i'm probably gonna have like your sister other people's children walking behind me down there i don't know whether i want like you walk you're still my thunder i don't want my mates looking prettier you can choose me a shitty bridesmaid dress i'll wear a really ugly my sister literally said this and she was like when you're my maid of honor i'm gonna make you wear your hair i'm flashing it on your head like ugly as crap no i'm joking

but i just i that i have come to that i just want little but i want like a bridal party yeah so like you're on the front row and you're all in a dress but i don't want people walking down the aisle so that's really making it bad but anyway if okay well if i was worrying about it and i wanted more people i would just have more people say can everyone stick to this color theme in this length of dress and you can all get your own dresses and we can just communicate on it or whatever do you know what i've seen quite a lot of people doing that recently and like all the girls are like wearing exactly i think it's nice when everyone has different looks different dresses with the same color i think it's nice because you don't know don't look like you're in a uniform yeah sometimes i think bridesmaid dresses a bit frumpy yeah i agree

but that's obviously because the bride's like you're not staying in my land yeah fair enough i see i'm i'm here on that so i would just i would say more than maria like have however you think i'll just go with your gut if you think that someone's picked you and you're not even close to them you're like oh i've got to have them in my wedding party because i was in theirs that's a tricky one what would you do in that scenario i know like return the favor but at the same time it's like there's limited spaces oh god that's really like you know but i just i've never been somebody's prize maze and like i would if i'm trying to think if i was someone's prize maze and then i didn't want them to i just don't think i'd be in that position because anyone who's

i would be their prize they would be my best friend too but if that did happen i think i'd have to pick them i think they'd have to be a bridesmaid i mean it depends yeah you couldn't not yeah personally i know that's because you also don't be feeling anxious about not having someone and then feeling bad about it right yeah i would actually just feel really guilty if someone had given me also i feel like there's no rules these days i mean jamie's bloody bridesmaid to one of his best friends not a man of honor a prize no i'm done but you know what i mean there's no rules these days like i feel like you can have as many or as little as you want or sophie just not have any just have one maid of honor i feel like and then just have a big fun bro i think that's a really good compromise because then there's no pressure on how many you can have.

You can just say you're in my bridal party. So they get ready with you and they're there early on the day so you're all together. They have the same roles as a bridesmaid but they're not walking you down the aisle. Yeah. You know, and maybe get your friend's little kids to do that. That's what I want to do.

I think little cute kitty little wings walking down with some flowers is just a dog yeah i know but i did i did see that at a photo or something that they're there i was like no i'm not having my just also just like lol no thanks i'm not being that freaky dog mom even though i do love i can't wait to get my dog fanduel casino daily jackpots guaranteed to hit by 11 p.m with your chance at the number one I can't wait to get out of my door. 19 plus and physically located in Ontario.

H hating your partner's friends. I'd love to know your opinion on whether you think you can have a good relationship

if you don't like their core group of friends and they seem not to like you either. My partner of almost five years has been friends with his group of mates since kindergarten. Most of them have partners now and at the start we all got along so well. However, most of the group would always talk poorly about one of the couples. Let's call them John and Jane, especially John, as he at the time had a bit of an issue with drug dependency and borrowing money. One night I was a bit too honest with my feelings about him and Jane got incredibly upset and we have not been friends since. Although everyone else told me they agreed with how they felt about John and Jane they all stayed silent in front of this couple and as such it made it look like I was the only one who felt this way. Fast forward to a couple of months the

girlfriends of the group have an event together. Later in the night I am polite and friendly with someone called Lucy. Lucy is the ex-girlfriend of one of the boys in the group and as a result this boy's new girlfriend gets so mad that all the girlfriends start to ostracize me. I apologize for my part the next day and take accountability for hurting the new girlfriend and ask that we meet to discuss things. No one else takes any accountability and soon it turns into me not being invited to events, the boyfriends getting involved and me essentially being blamed for everything. I've come to terms with never being friends with these people and although it's sad I'm not sure they are people I want to be friends with anyway. My partner says that they have never spoken poorly of me and that they never have said

they don't like me but it's just easier to not invite me to avoid any drama. My partner however can't seem to distance himself from them as he's been friends with them for almost 30 years. As much as I would love for him to cut them off and grow closer to other friends he has I just don't think that's going to happen. So my dilemma is do you think a relationship could last long if they don't like your friends and hate when their name pops up or he hangs out with them when we don't talk about them we're so good almost perfect but when their name is mentioned or an event pops up with them i get so mad and we end up having a huge fight god that is quite a serious problem i don't

think it's like oh just let him live his life and you live yours like i think when you get older you're so much more involved in each other's lives and each other's like friendships and i think i feel like you're gonna hold a resentment yeah this is gonna really bum you out you're gonna grow a resentment towards him and vice versa he's probably gonna resent you because you get angry with him and he'll be like they're my friends and you know it sounds like he's never gonna pick you over them yeah and i'm never gonna cut them out of his life in the sounds of this to defend him if i'd been friends with people for 30 years i don't think i would do either no neither i mean look what happened to harry megan yeah i just don't i kind of agree i think this is unless he you know is willing to give up all these friends and start a completely fresh life with you which is a big risk in itself

because that that he could then end up resenting you for then losing all of his friends right yeah just sounds very difficult i mean there's obviously some friends that maybe you don't get on with as well and they don't really know that and you just maybe avoid them that's quite easy but it sounds like the whole group there's this huge tension and like god i'm just really rereading it again well for my gauge on that it sounds like they're all obviously been friends for 30 years they all probably as you're implying almost bitch about one another or have something to say you know and no but perhaps it's not perhaps they just you know they criticize each other which is not the way to be and it's really not cool and whatever, and I don't like that at all.

But for them, potentially you're this new girl, and, you know, you haven't been pregnant for 30 years. So for you to have your say, they find almost uncomfortable. It might be like the unspoken word that that's just the way they are with each other. It's like if, you know, you said something to me that was quite rude, I would just, like, not even look, blurt are with each other it's like if you know you said something to me that was quite rude i would just like not even look black an eyelid because it's you but if some

random person said yeah you'd be like sorry you're rude yeah yeah yeah yeah so i'm assuming which is where i think you not not that you've gone wrong but i think that's probably where you yeah and that's which is just really tricky sometimes you just have to like actually keep things in and like you're better off just discussing them privately with your partner rather than voicing them because i mean especially in this scenario yeah it's not and also as as you've explained everyone thinks it but then you say it and everyone backs down when it comes to it and then you're looking and then it just it's like you're the bad guy which is just not nice oh god i really feel for you because i think i think maybe like you should maybe try and apologize yeah i would try

and apologize but she did say didn't she try and meet up with her the next day and also i'm really sorry but you being polite to the ex-girlfriend and the new girl getting annoyed i don't think that's... Yeah, I think that's really... That's really immature. That's really immature and you've done literally nothing. You've done nothing wrong with that. But I think, like, when you spoke badly about that guy and his girlfriend got really upset...

And you said that to the girlfriend, yeah, that's... I think that maybe that one you could have done with apologising. Yeah. And then, you know, that could have nipped it in the bud, and, you know, there's never too late to apologise, I don't think. I agree. I think you could always reach out and just be like,

look, I know you're so close, and, like, it is a bit awkward, and I really don't want it to be this way, blah, blah, blah, I'm really sorry for overstepping the mark, I really shouldn't have, like, commented on your guys' relationship. I think that could be a wise thing to do.

I think that would be a really good step in the right direction. I think the new girlfriend getting pissed off at you because you're talking to the old one, that's just pathetic. We can all move on from that. No one's going to care about that. Oh, yeah, grow up to them. That's just being wall-packed mentality. She's like, oh, my friend's annoyed at you,

so I'm going to be annoyed at you. That's just bitchy and not nice, I don't know. like chill out you can be nice to the new girlfriend who gives a fuck no the old girlfriend oh yeah like even so like what whoever doesn't everyone should just be nice to each other but also like i never get those people who are like oh my god that's my ex's ex who does what yeah look people do they're like i can't believe your friends are what that what that's got nothing to do with me or them like yeah you also can't like exclude someone to be horrible to someone because they used to date somebody oh god then none of us would be friends yeah exactly none of us would be friends yeah really and judy so i think yeah i think safe's right like let's

like start with an apology and then just try and as much as you can i don't know it's hard especially if you're an honest person you're quite straight up person just try and keep the feelings and the opinions to yourself and maybe just discuss with your partner behind closed doors because we've now learned the lesson that if you do speak up it just comes back to bite you in the ass ultimately even though everyone else thinks it it's just not the right way to play this sort of group of friends yeah then if it gets worse then i think ultimately i mean i think it's a really tricky one like come to if you're not going to get on with the friendship group and you've done everything you can to rectify it yeah i think first first things first try and rectify it where you've gone wrong and you know

sometimes you've just got to put your hands up and be like maybe i did overstep the mark that I you know I don't judge you like I've done it a million times but you do just maybe have to try and fix it and learn from your mistakes um and then you move forward and if you can't move forward then you address the situation come back right it's another dilemma and we'll go from there I agree stunning stunningunning. Stunning. We've got to talk about Melissa's single diaries and my wind of the week. Oh okay yeah so my little single diary snippet. So the dating app thing. We just need to touch

on this. I had two of the dating apps. The Hinge one which everybody has and then I also got um Raya I had them both for about three days and I've now deleted both of them I'm dead I just don't I gave it a go I didn't I don't know like there's just something that feels wrong about it to me I'm like what am I doing like why am I so desperate to date straight away like i can just be alone right yeah yeah and i didn't work for me either i've

got rid of them also everyone freaking cringes me out the messages yeah i'm everyone makes me feel sick and also if you don't reply then just send more messages it's like oh my god it's terrible some people so that's my little thing like i'm not forcing i'm actually very happy just being by myself i gave the dating app thing a little go quite fun for a couple days do you know what it's always fun like on a sunday evening instead of it's like instagram for single people like it's like you know i can't yeah i did think that's what it would be like and to be fair it was but by the third day i was just over it so the thing with that raya thing is you do like three swipes and it's like you've used fetching new people it's like oh I'll come back tomorrow yeah no I'm done with you hinge on it I missed

the game on those ones I've only ever had that one yeah I think I don't think he was about when I was single twitter tweet on my tinder tinder that was it that was when I was at uni that was always yeah yeah that was quite a big one back in the day I don't know if it's still around now but people have like met and got married actually my sister's really but like her best friends got married and they are literally the perfect couple had the most dreamy wedding and some of your friends have met on hinge haven't they a lot of success stories are from hinge like I don't I'm not bashing it I'm just saying right now like i'm just no i just feel like it will happen like i'll i'll meet somebody that i fancy dating at the right time but right now i'm not seeking it out like it felt too forced

for me yeah when you're ready it'll come yeah i think it's always fun as well to like meet your friends mutual friends i think i need to set you up on another day yeah or a day a day right we got the win to the week from a gym my win to the week is this very simple where we have different things that we have in the house but we share a house together what always happens 100% of the time is i go to look for my toothbrush to find out where it is, to use it, Sophie has always taken it to use it for herself. What? Okay. Every single time. Oh.

That's my winch of the week. Let me just clarify this. Okay. I have never done this until two weeks ago. Firstly, I changed the head. Secondly, the reason being is because Jamie's friend, well, both of our friends, stayed and used my toothbrush, so I had to throw it away.

Only HP. So I can't use that one, so I obviously now... But Laura and Jamie... And I keep forgetting to buy one because it's just not something you remember. No, I know. It's the same with toothpaste. And I can't... Toothpaste gets...

I mean the electric one. Oh, I need the electric. So, like, there's no point in me... I bought the one from Zap online or whatever. But I need the electric, so he's no point in me i bought the one from zap online or whatever but i mean the electric so he's got lots of heads so i changed the head that's all you need i know i remember like the first time but you're taking it out of his bathroom yeah i put it up into my bathroom that's annoying because he goes to you well sorry my winter of the week is he goes he basically before he goes to the bathroom sorry to always talk about bathrooms with jamie but he uses half a toilet roll to wipe the toilet seat

obviously it's only me and him who use this house because he went to boarding school and he's got into a habit to wipe the seat because his mum told him to wipe the toilet seat before he sits down so before he sits down it's like an ocd ritual it's only him who goes in that bathroom i literally have never even sat in the room he wipes the seat with 500 half a toilet roll and then we go through like a whole packet every day i'm like stop it's really bad for the planet nothing bad about being thorough but wiping the toilet seat a million times is so unnecessary and he goes gets himself like oh my god like a full fit unnecessary. It's like so weird and he goes, gets himself like a full fit wrap around the hand. Yeah, there's like this around the hand.
