I'm Melissa. And welcome to our new podcast. Wednesdays, we drink wine. Guys, we're in the studio. We made it. We've never done it in the studio before i feel like we have only because we did that one on private parts but we haven't ever done wednesdays no we've never done on a wednesday you're so right and we're also doing it with our first non-alcoholic wine which by the way everyone the most hardest thing in the entire world yeah it's not an easy find an

organic wine a non-alcoholic wine but. Yeah, it's not an easy find, an organic wine. A non-alcoholic wine. But the fact that it's organic is pretty amazing that you managed to find that. I feel like it'd be easier to find an organic wine because it's still made from grapes. Like, you just use an organic fruit. It's the sulfites that make it fates. No, that's not what gives it alcohol. I'm pretty sure it's not.

It's the fermentation of the grape. Oh my God, that freaked me out that the wine went all the way to the... Did you see the same thing? Sophie's very giggly today. Have you had a drink before? I'm pretty sure it's the fermentation of the grape. Oh my God, that freaked me out. The wine went all the way to the bottom. Did you see the same thing? Sophie's very giggly today. Have you had a drink before? She's like, no, no alcohol for a couple of weeks. I feel like you've had a drink.

I've not had a drink. I came from my house. I don't know what's going on. Right, let's try this. This week's non-alcoholic wine is Domaine de la Praide. It's a cross between, it's an organic wine, and it's a cross between a Merlot and a Shiraz. The bottle's really nice.

Like, it looks very much so like a normal wine, doesn't it? It really does, and it's all in French, so we can't really give you a description of it. But what we can say is it's 100% organic and 100% normal. Right, smell it and tell me what it reminds you of. I can't really smell it. It reminds me of mulled wine. Please tell me you're smelling that. Oh, yeah, a little bit. And it's very it reminds you of. I can't really smell it. It reminds me of mulled wine. Please tell me you're smelling that. Oh, yeah, a little bit.

And it's very dark red, guys. Like, very, very, very potent colour. Oh, my God. Oh, that's not a good sign. No, that's prune juice. But you know what? I'm going to be honest. If I was a non-alcohol person, that is a good substitute.

I'm not bashing it that much. The aftertaste is kind of... It's quite smooth. Like, I'm not... It's not disgusting. Well, what's going to be non-scohol person that is a good substitute i'm not bashing it that much the aftertaste is kind it's quite smooth like i'm not it's not disgusting what's going to be non-smooth about there's the fact that you coughed so much it's like because the first breath the first really took my breath away but i'm going because you're expecting it to taste exactly like yes it looks like such a nice bottle of red i was really like i'm excited about it. I'm getting quite drunk on this. I just want to ask a really stupid question. It's really like,

it generally does just taste like grape juice. But does it have actually grapes in it? Yeah, it's 100, it's made from 100% organic grape. So basically, it's grape juice in a wine bottle. It is nice. Have you tried that?

Oh my God, it's made from the finest organic grapes in france well there you go i actually think that's a really bloody good option do you really but not for non-alcoholic like you're not going to get something that's going to taste exactly the same to be fair maybe we should try all the other ones first like we've got a couple coming up in the next few weeks and then we can make a judgment but i i'm not opposed to this i could happily have that the whole of my meal yeah but the whole point is then you may as well just have a diet coke because it's meant to taste like an alcoholic wine it's giving me wine vibes though i'm not like do you know where i think i've gone wrong i put an ice cube in it because yours is huge ice cube as well it's like a cold glass of juice? At least it will rehydrate you.

Probably not. I wonder if this is actually quite good for you. Grapes. Well, it's quite low in like cows and low in sugar. So there you go.

I mean, look. It's not going to get a high rating obviously because it doesn't taste, no, we have to put it in a different category. It's not, we're not comparing it

as a wine. Okay, so as our first non-alcoholic wine. It's not horrendous. But then again, I don't really like juices. like i wouldn't choose an apple juice you would have a bloody ribena and robinson's juice oh yeah like the real they just they don't they don't do it for me anyway that's upsetting that's really it looks so... We're like 45 minutes in just talking for a while. The bottle looks so nice.

Yeah, it does. Right. How did you deal with the social media back up? We've just had... Oh, so... Do you guys remember? You know what's really funny? I saw a meme and it was like,

you know your friends really taste so on if you actually texted them on actual text in the back house. I texted you like, what's going on? You go, what's happening? To be fair to myself, i actually didn't even notice i was just mooching about and melissa goes whatsapp and instagram down shit i was like what are you on about because they were it was off of my phone for like an hour and a half and i was like it

must be by the way probably mine doesn't work properly they're still like stories won't know yeah stories it was like an hour and a half and i was like there must be by the way probably mine doesn't work properly they're still like stories won't know yeah stories it was like an hour and a half and I was like there must be something wrong with my data so maybe I need to update it and I was like god this is quite annoying as I was waiting for my messages all to send on whatsapp and I was like jesus this is like annoying me and I had plans the next day and I was like what's going on just like loading loading loading loading and I was like oh hang on there must be a thing and I googled it and it was like twitter twitter twitter like all these tweets about it and I was like oh hang on there must be a thing and I googled it and it was like Twitter Twitter Twitter like all these tweets about it and I was like ah the old Twitter feed I actually slept really well that night though and also I concentrated a lot on the TV program I was

watching I normally find myself like half on my phone not double screening if I like a TV show I'm like I'm in I don't care but that's mainly because Jamie's like get off your phone really and vice versa if he's on it I'm like get off your phone it's nice to be invested in a TV programme together

if it's something like a crime drama like Line of Duty my phone's going on the other side that was the most boring thing that you ever made me watch by the way

Line of Duty I think the entire nation will disagree with you on that sorry everyone forget that it was The Fool The Fool

oh honestly that was good it everyone, forget that. It was The Fool. The Fool. Oh, honestly. I thought that was good. It was very dark. That was terrible. Hands made tell, everyone. That was a good one. That's too scary for me. I watched the trailer.

Not scary at all. Oh, we have a little listener message. Do we? I'd love a listener message. Do you want to read it out? It's quite long. No, I feel like it's for you. It says,

Okay. Hey, Sophie and Melissa, love the podcast. I just want to say for you it says okay hey Sophie and Melissa love the podcast I just want to say thank you for sharing your breakup on the podcast I hope you're doing well and it sounds like you're very happy so I'm glad to hear that I just wanted to say as I also become single after a four-year relationship in the past and I have found it so difficult with my ex coming back to me constantly even though he broke it off we also had a great relationship but he's been a different person ever since so I finally blocked him in the past week and your positivity has made me really happy and content with where I am at being 24 and single

and I'm for the first time really happy and excited to be single in my 20s can't wait to hear how you thrive being single love you both p.s please keep an eye on just in case but not a dilemma just to thank you for your honesty that is so cute that is so cute I'm so glad I've encouraged someone just to also 24 yeah god you're really young so I always forget why do you forget I'm two years younger than you it's not that much we're kind of it but that is so sweet and I'm so happy that you're happy yeah you've got to embrace being single guys yeah you really do and I do think loads of people have actually said this to me like loads of my close friends as well but like

how's my listing I'm like honestly she's it's really funny a lot of people I think everything's a state of mindset isn't it yeah but also I do think like I think it's when it's not your first love and your first relationship it's fine it's not your first love and your first relationship, it's fine. It's always that first relationship and the first love that's a bit, oh. And then once it's the next one or the next one, kind of just... Kind of, but then also in the same breath, like, do you ever think of your first love? No, I know. But I think it just also depends on where you are with your feelings.

Like, if you're over somebody, you're over them. Yeah, I agree. Right, that's just what it boils down to. I think it just also depends on where you are with your feelings. Like if you're over somebody, you're over them. Yeah, I agree. Right? That's just what it boils down to. It really does suck to not be over somebody, but it to be over. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a friend that's going through that right now.

And she's like, oh, I still love him, but blah, blah, blah. That's a nightmare. It's a real nightmare. If only we could write in her dilemmas for her. Let's start with the old dilemmas. Oh, number one, fashion fashion advice i like this quite different i can't wait read out to them hey both i just want to say i love your podcast makes me makes my wednesday morning drive to work fab and then drive home to jamie lol

i would love your help with fashion advice i I am out this weekend for food, then drinks, and ending out in some clubs. But I have no idea what to wear because it's freaking freezing. I know. Coat? No coat? Brave or crop top? Show off the non-existent abs. Is jeans and nice tops still a thing in autumn? And if it is, has it moved to black trousers? By the way, I struggle because I'm short.

Any help from you two beautiful girls would be perfect oh you're so cute this is my favorite thing to do dilemma dilemma on all of our minds right now what's the dilemma this this dilemma is on all of our minds i love the hell do we wear yeah it's the transition everyone's like autumn my favorite time i'm like no no it's really hard it's so cold i know slash then it's not if you're me he's having hot flashes every five minutes of the day um what would you wear jeans and a nice top is definitely still a thing but i so understand because in the summer that's more like ripped jeans blue jeans but then moving into winter it's more like leather trousers black jeans right

i personally wouldn't in winter i'd feel too underdressed going out in blue jeans same same and I always think if you are I mean to be honest I've always wanted to be smaller than I am so I don't know if he has this weird thing where she's like I think being small is just the best but you're not like a giant you're a normal height I know I know I don't know where I've got this weird thing in my brain I think it's also because Jamieie's not super tall no no i've always had this oh yeah yeah i just think it's being small ski um i yeah being small is great so don't worry about like dressing and stuff like also wearing like black trousers does eat on people yeah black's flattering on everybody black is flattering on everyone and you can always put like a heel boot with it or heel boot leather trousers the thing is with black you kind of gotta wear a heel boot because you can't really wear trainers with black trousers

you did yesterday and they look good did i oh they were leather yeah so you could i always feel like a leather look trouser you know you can get faux leather or pleather they call it all the wax leggings quite nice leggings all of those sort of looks are really chic and a good sort of transition trouser for autumn to winter and summer to autumn yeah i don't really wear black trousers do you i have a pair of flared back trousers actually that are quite kind of handy now and again god the thought of like it's like i know what you mean with the crop top thing as well because oh the crop top for me i wouldn't go there But when you're in a club and it's boiling hot, you kind of maybe do want to have a bit of skin out. If you're going for food, no offence, but I just get bloated and then it's just a disaster.

Because then you're like, oh, you don't really want to whack your jacket off. I mean, yeah, it depends. You know what's quite nice? Maybe like a midi dress. I quite like like a clingy midi dress. I know you don't like tight things. No, I don't like tight things. But again, that's just because I like bloat off but yeah i think like heel boots and a midi dress

like a leather jacket quite nice yeah or like a jumper and a skirt skirt yeah yeah like a big baggy jumper that's what i was gonna wear today also just get yourself an oversized blazer and they make every outfit oh put it over leather trousers dresses skirts with boots it's just the best thing ever and also they're great like transition from summer to winter exactly and it's quite good because it's an in-between of like it's not dressing up but you're still smart but you're not overdressed ever with a blazer yeah yeah you could actually wear a pair of denim trousers with a blazer and jeans with a nice blazer very hayley bieber yeah but it just works with like every scenario i think i agree yeah just invest in some good basics black trousers really nice leather trousers black oversized blazer maybe some like body suits stunning

a blazer's key personally yeah the second dilemma is so it says hey i love your podcast and i enjoy listening to it since i moved abroad it feels a little bit like home from far away i have a dilemma but could it be kept anonymous please so i started seeing this guy we've only had four dates and he was overnight for everyone and i really liked him he is so sweet He is saying stuff like plans he wants to do with me. He is 30 and I am 26 soon and I feel like this is the start of something serious and real. So yesterday I had a boy who I'd been chatting to occasionally who travels to Europe message me. He was where I was and I was so intrigued to meet him and so he came over oh i didn't sleep with him but we kissed and oh juicy and being

with him made me realize how i really do like the guy i've started seeing as i was a bit nervous of really liking someone well that's good so i'm glad it happened that side but i have a problem i have a hickey i haven't discussed it exclusively with exclusivity with the guy i like because it's early i feel awful i have a hickey and i can push back seeing him but do i do but did i do something wrong oh kind of yeah i'm afraid oh god okay right no let's just think back here it's fine to date a couple people at the same time they're not exclusive yeah but a hickey is quite like a punchy thing oh yeah it really is i'm thinking is there is there a like a hack that you can do to like get rid of it toothpaste is that real is that a lie i thought you could hold an ice cube on it i think you put toothpaste i do picky hack to get rid of hickey i back in the day when i wanted it to look like i'd got with

oh my god I've got with boys. Oh my God. I've got my hot water bottle. No, no. And then like suck it down to your neck. I know. I would have slipped it down your face. And then I'd be like, woo, on the beaches in Spain when I was surrounded by...

Drop this. Wait, so you'd walk around like... Yeah, yeah. Like I got with someone else. Slash I didn't. Yes. Oh my God. I am that much of a loser.

How to get rid of a hickey because I feel like we've got to do disaster control. You know, we've got to do damage control here. Because I do think it also happens where you really like someone you don't really know. And then you get with someone else. It just makes you think, oh shit. I actually. It's just all it's done.

It's made you come to the realization that you really like the other guy. The only annoying thing is now there's proof that you've done it. Peppermint oil. So toothpaste is true. Coconut butter. Pineapple. Pineapple. Because of course. Pineapple. Bromelain. Yep. Yeah. Eat loads of pineapple. for that you've done it peppermint oil so toothpaste is true coke pineapple because of

course pineapple bromelain yep yeah um eat loads of pineapple banana peel i have had this too i'd google it i would get all those tricks and put loads of makeup on i think if you put the color red over the color blue i love how we're literally having a cover on our tracks i think if you put the color red i've also got the color blue color correcting okay you know you know who taught me this sophie herman no i she had a bruise on her face i think i literally from my hickey and i couldn't see it whatsoever and she showed me like a picture of her face this morning and she i could not tell it was right on her face so you put red over it and then you put your concealer over it i so i if i was you i would hold back a couple days put it off there's no point in telling him if i were you i'd just like oh about my neck on the

hair straightener hair straightener unless it's in a really weird place i'd put a plaster over it and be like i burnt myself in the hair straightener i wouldn't even put the plaster it's pretty obvious when it looks like a hickey though it's a bruise it's not a burn i think back in the day once i had been, though. It's a bruise, it's not a burn. I feel like back in the day, once I had the knuckle, I burnt myself. Then people believed you. If it's a bright blue on your neck. Do we feel they're not blue, are they?

They're like red. No, they're like purple. God. Depends how hard the guy's sucking. Going to town on the neck. That's quite rogue to get a hickey. Yeah, I know. I don't remember the last time I saw someone with a hickey. I don't know. I don't think I've ever really had one

they're quite a rogue thing to do it's almost like like a like the guy like why would you suck marking the territory yeah like why would you suck that hard like yeah I know if you want to give a little kiss on the neck or whatever but do you really have to like really you have to go to town to give a hickey

you know when it's happening to you you're like whoa what do you do shizer no i feel you okay i i think that you should just maybe put it off that you're getting with this other guy maybe she told him and he was like right well i'm gonna mark my territory i don't think you should tell the guy that you like i think you should just wait a bit wait for the key to go and then just carry on be like i'm a bit ill can't go out i definitely don't think you should tell him either also boys don't really need to know things like that and as you've said you've technically not done anything wrong yeah you're not like exclusive really not but we're not very sounding very moral aren't we boys don't need to know things like that no but it's fine they're not

exclusive it would be different if it was like he was a new boyfriend and you'd fucked up and also it's like giving you the realization that you do like him yeah like now moving forward i would assume you're gonna be a loyal gal yeah monogamous with him okay right next one i like my family friend is the title of this next dilemma hi girls love the podcast i have a dilemma and could really use some advice from you both dot dot dot i have had a crush on my family friend for nearly 10 years and this summer we said that we liked each other and kissed oh my god stunning he sent a snapchat after saying that i can't it can't happen again and we haven't said anything since now i'm so nervous to see him in a family situation because it will be so

awks we are at different boarding schools and have no friends in common so there isn't really another situation that i would see him in i still really like him and not sure what to do what do you think please keep anonymous lots of love oh golly gosh golly gosh i mean you know what he kissed you as well so the fact that he said this can't happen again is that because he's like oh scheisse this is going to be super awkward now because of the whole family situation god this is really awkward but you know what i feel like it does happen at some point like if you're spending that much time together and you get to a certain age, like a lot of family friends probably just have a bit of a kiss. I need a bit more background on this one.

Family friends though. I can think of a scenario of a family friend that I'm not that close as I don't ever see unless our families get together. Yeah, Charlie break. Yeah, so if you guys kiss, would you think it's a big deal? No, actually no.

He has done that with another family friend. So there's like three of us that are families that are friend and like this boy and this girl used to get together quite a bit and um it wasn't awkward but like now it kind of is because it's like oh they used to get together and he still really likes her and she like wasn't really interested so yeah that's just like as awful as it is like don't care because he's the boy but this is the other way around yeah i know it's hard i think you just have to play it cool yeah you obviously have to play the only option you have also trying to work out trying to get into his brain and try

and work out why he's he freaked out and was like this can't happen again either let's we have to be brutal perhaps he doesn't like you that much and he's just like shies that was a mistake i'm so sorry or he's like it's just going to be too complicated and too awkward but i don't think if i was you i wouldn't go searching for the answer no because it might make it worse play play it down and then when you see him like literally absolutely just be like oh god don't like just let's just pretend it didn't happen yeah like relax like doesn't matter it's not really unfortunately anything else we can do because either way if you chase it and be like i really like you and you might you might push him away yeah it might make

it even more awkward if you step away again you're probably just going to make it awkward and then he's going to be like god she's a bit over the top yeah i would literally just play it cool pretend it didn't even happen if he like tries to bring up and talk about it just do the same thing and play it down like if he really likes you he will say something to you but oh god it just sucks when you really like somebody i know try and try and open your eye i feel like you could sometimes get tunnel vision for that one guy if you really like them yeah they're like not as interested in you which sounds like this case i wouldn't be tunnel vision for him like really try and open your eyes to other boys because you

might not be noticing yeah exactly we we need boys to chase us girls we can't be moping around thinking about boys right yeah but also kind of really annoying that the boys have to do the chasing like can't like if a boy who you fancy chases you, you're like, sweet. Maybe we should be changing the system. I'm not going to be the one to change the system. I like being chased. I don't want to chase somebody. Mother Luther King.

Mother Luther King. Change the world. Oh, my God. Are you literally about to try and tell everybody that you're going to be the next Mother Teresa? No, I'm in a loving relationship, so I don't need to do that. She's trying to use me as the guinea pig, guys, to try and change the way that dating works. FanDuel Casino Daily Jackpots.

The only issue we've ever had is his bold,

rude ex. He has been invited to his good friend's wedding abroad and she is within the bridal party. He obviously has a plus one and has assumed I will go. However, she makes me and him feel so uncomfortable I don't think I would enjoy the wedding at all. It's a very intimate ceremony, less than 30, and it is a week-long celebration, all sharing a villa and close quarters.

Stunning, a week-long wedding. Yeah, that's how it is. God, can we go? Do I go and put on a brave face or even... Wait. Do I go and put on a brave face even though I don't want to go? Or do I let him go and take his sister, who's friends with the bride anyway? Absolutely not.

Not. So, so, the wedding is late next year. Thank you so much. Anonymous, please. No, no, no. A hundred percent go and you own, and you literally own it and you're, and you just... What, are you going to let her ruin all your fun occasions? Yeah, you can't let her, like, the wedding is late next year. Thank you so much. Anonymous, please. No, no, no. And you literally own it and you just... What, are you going to let her ruin all your fun occasions? Yeah, you can't let her affect that.

This could be, like, the best week of your life. He could propose to you. Oh, God. But you never know. These could be memories forever. I so agree. You cannot let her, like, stop, like, intimidate you from going to a wedding.

And also, that will always... You won't ever put a stop in like the system if you always let her overpower yeah you need to go and just like show who's boss and be like you don't affect me mate like you also i wouldn't even go thinking about her i just go literally just ignore her give a fuck about her she's irrelevant really the the only way she can annoy you or affect you is if you allow her to you just have to also i think you'll be really pissed off if you don't go and then you like yeah yeah and then you like see her there and you're just like oh fuck she's there my

boyfriend's there why did i not go yeah you're really bummed out i don't think you should not go yeah i really don't think you should not go 100 A hundred percent, you've got to go. There's no question in the answer. I'm just trying to think. How, like, this is like a Rachel Ross situation, like having an ex around. You know what it is about weddings? It's like, it makes you think about getting married yourself, I always find.

Well, it's a celebration of love, isn't it? Yeah. So I think it's... They're never an unhappy day. Oh, it's always so much fun. Yeah, everyone's always in really good form. So it's not something I would miss would you be okay with having this is another situation i'm just gonna throw it out there um at your wedding jamie's exes to be fair he's not really friends

with any of his exes but say he was if he was friends with them no but if he was friends with them i'm sure i would be friends with them yeah that's true he wouldn't be friends with people that i'm not friends with yeah that's true i'm really controlling but you know what i mean it'd be weird if he was i'm just thinking of the ross and rachel situation that just like popped into my mind because it's like no having the ex at the wedding and then suddenly like ross suddenly thought about oh god yeah that's quite savage yeah well no now you've said that then no not that we're getting married but yeah yeah would you i don't know i think if they were friends like you just have to be okay with it i don't think i'd really care it was it's my wedding like i'm not getting married

okay fine let's let's put this scenario in your head so the ex we don't like jamie's not friends with but she starts going out with one of jamie's friends that he has to have at the wedding so then she has to come but it's like oh i really don't want her there then what do you do so i know this is just so far-fetched but i just love that you know i'm really sorry but i'd say no it's my wedding day like and also i couldn't imagine what works is. I'm just, no thanks. Yeah. It's a no from me. Fair.

Okay, yes, you cannot let an X come in the way. You've got to just stand your ground. Can you ask me more questions? I just love all these scenarios because I'm single. I'm now like, I have none of these problems. Well, you're not going to be single forever. Oh, I don't know. I feel like I might.

Guys, how long has it been since I've been single? Like a week. God, no, it hasn't. week it hasn't yeah I still get people messaging me on Instagram like are you single I'm like am I not putting it out there enough no not really I should put it in my bio it's single yeah do you remember on Facebook that used to be a thing why doesn't Instagram do that like never was allowed everyone's what who are? I'm younger than you that's probably why. Two years younger? Yeah. No. When it first came out the fact that I was two years younger was probably like way too young I was about 10. I didn't get it when it first came out but anyway msn what did you have b-boy? No I wasn't allowed any of that I didn't really care for it but i was at boarding school and no one had that you had phones and you texted each other yeah i didn't really get a phone until i was 13 but then again i don't think i was using msn until i was 13

when you were 13 i was 11 so i would have been to yeah and then by which point facebook came about so like i kind of missed it it was like we were so young my mom was like what the hell like you're literally 10 like why do you want msn and to be fair no one i really knew it was like we were so young my mum was like what the hell like you're literally 10 like why do you want MSN and to be fair no one I really knew MSN was awful it was more people from like my old

hometown like before boarding school where people started to have it where day pupils I think it was like more people that don't go to boarding

school so they go home you want to get home and you want to talk to everybody yeah then when I went to like move to Somerset and went

to boarding school that wasn't a thing at all and then Facebook came out stunning changed my life I don't have Facebook what yeah I deleted it I'm mistaken now I can't get back into it to get back into your Instagram I don't think you have to have Facebook no I then deleted it before and had to create a whole new Instagram and then now

I can't get any of my Facebook and also I miss everyone's birthdays because I don't have Facebook I don't have the Facebook app on my phone and everyone how do you remember last weekend I just had them in my diary if they're my real friends oh and last weekend there was two events on and these people had created them on Facebook and my friend Ali was asking me like oh are you going and I was like oh because I haven't been invited she was like yes you have you're on the event I'm like how do I know that I'm going to be on this event? Can't people use WhatsApp these days? Haven't we moved on from Facebook? I think you have to get the Facebook app if you're on Facebook.

Yeah, but who uses Facebook anymore? The fact that people create these events fascinates me. Also, Snapchat. My brother. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's obsessed with Snapchat. So I'm like, have we not moved on from Snapchat? Jamie's brother doesn't go on WhatsApp.

Yeah, it's the young Virginia. It's the Gen Zs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. I just don't understand it. We just missed the cutoff for that. I'm like, who the hell has Snapchat? My brother's like on it all the time. I do use it back in the day.

He doesn't use WhatsApp. Yeah, they all chat on Snapchat. I just use it to send photos. Whereas they like, actually, that's how they communicate. Yeah, that's their WhatsApp. That is their WhatsApp. And they also have like this thing where you can see where everyone is. I know.

It's like Find My Friends. I was like, God, that's such an invasion of privacy. But they all know they're sharing their location. It's a choice. Yeah, they can turn it off if they want to. So, Find My Friends. But on Find My Friends, I only have about seven people. I still don't have Find My Friends.

I think it's the weirdest thing. I tried to convince Sophie to get it. She tried to convince you to. No, but only because when I'm on my way to you or you're on your way to me or something, we're meeting, we send each other our location on WhatsApp. Yeah, but I don't get what the issue with that. That's just normal.

It drains the battery so much. I've got a battery issue, guys. Yeah, her phone, like, loses battery after like one second. Oh, God, it's so upsetting. Yeah, it really does. Look at it now. I don't want to find my friends

because imagine I was, like, getting someone a birthday present and then they'd find out. But you don't go on it and just, like, stare at where your mates are all day. It's only if I'm, like, on my way somewhere

and I'm, like, we're all meeting for dinner and I'm, like, oh, yeah, I'm this far away, I'm this far away. I once kept bumping, far away i once kept bumping well jamie once kept bumping into an ad everywhere he went and i was like pretty sure you must have each other the location still because you can do it on someone's phone they don't even know they're doing it oh god that's terrifying every corner he'd be like oh oh my god

letting you guys just wonder who that fascinating baby do you have a so wait come on you've got to have some single diaries um so i don't guys i'm just becoming more and more single as the days go on when i first became single i was quite unsingle i was like as in like there was a lot of like bits and bobs going on now there's just nothing it's stale guys there's nothing going on guys I'm like her dedicated I basically pawn her off to all Jamie's friends like a girl and I out and the fairy godmother yeah I always say that you and Jamie are my fairy godparents so if he goes to a party or a night out she seeks out a man she's like right mission of the evening yeah and i get these messages at like midnight i was gonna say 1am 2am i found someone for you blah blah blah blah blah blah and then

the next morning she's like oh not sure no i always send them to you and you're like oh disgusting everyone makes me feel sick i don't know what it is what's wrong with me i think that's stunning so you're lost um i've actually got a huge binge of wheat. I hear you on that. Sipping on that. Oh, non-alcoholic. Guys, I'm convincing myself it's got alcohol in it. I really would love a drink right now. It's a stunning day outside.

It's the blue sky and the sunshine. Get me through. I go, after this, we're going to a really nice event and I'm going to have a glass of champagne. Oh my God. Can't wait for that. She's really not very good for my sobriety, my sober October, is she?

She's already been like, just have one with me. I don't think that's a problem. Oh, come on i'm gonna stop i'm gonna stop after saturday i'm gonna stop for a couple weeks for one week no i'm gonna stop for two to be fair i'm actually going on a health retreat next week so maybe i could have yeah drink until then we did decide that actually we made we made a decision together that's what you were gonna do you've gone back on it i do have my friend's engagement party this weekend as well anyway my wind of the week because i really have to get this off my chest is boys not using group chats like what is that about do you know what i mean um so i'll be like does everyone want to do dinner on the right and there's like six couples

on there and melissa and then any of the and then there's like every girl on there and Melissa. And then only the... Yeah. And then there's like every girl's replying, can't wait. None of the boys are like, gosh, how embarrassing. I think boys only reply on group chats if it's just their boys' chats. Jamie also like just doesn't even see it. It's discrimination really, isn't it? It's just rude. It's downright rude. It's just rude.

And also, do they just expect their girlfriends to like read and relay it to them because that's what jamie does he'll be like oops didn't see the boy chat the group the group chat i'm like well what am i meant to do about that see my ex is the same it's just terrible it's all but then he was very chatty on the boys chat that he had non-stop talk talk talk on that but then on like a group chat where there's a couple's thing it's like you know what it is it's just the boys they just expect all the girls to sort it out and then i'll just turn up you tell me where to go even single boys i have found that they don't really and i think it's maybe they're like actually i put it down for them just being shy or lazy one of the two i'm not sure

if it's shy i just think it's lazy and rude especially if they then message you privately it's almost like they can't be asked for the notifications for chat jamie just refuses to text me that is another refuses he facetimes you facetimes me which is so inconvenient particularly if i don't have my headphones in or like if i'm in a busy space i can't hear you just text me he'll be like facetime where's an orange i'm like oh no just text me it's so easy i prefer FaceTime, where's an orange? I'm like, oh no, just text me. It's so easy. I prefer calling people these days,

but sometimes when you don't want to speak to somebody on the phone, there's nothing worse than when someone's calling you and you're just watching it and you're like, oh. Oh God, yeah, there's nothing worse. And then you're the type of person when you get on the phone, you can't get them off the phone. There are some people that I really dread a phone call with, but I don't know why, because when I just do it, it's really normal.

Not really fun, yeah. And really quite lovely. There are certain people that I really dread a phone call with, but I don't know why. Because when I just do it, it's really normal. Really fun, yeah. And really quite lovely. There are certain people that I like to have phone calls with. I don't think I was a very phone call-y person until Jamie, really. I think it's lockdown brought it out of everybody because it's FaceTime, FaceTime every day. Yeah, we FaceTime about six nights. Yeah, I know. I think that's what...

No, to be fair, we used to do it before lockdown. Yeah, we did. Bizarre. But I think it's actually a nicer thing because you're interacting with someone properly rather than texting like you're actually speaking to somebody's face right yeah i agree but yeah if you just want to know where an orange is like you can't just text me that question yeah or just like pointless calls when they're not even asking question i'm busy oh just loneliness like what are you doing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah one of those one of those one of those

righty-ho are we gonna rate this bad boy then well it's really hard because it right should we do two two types of rating let's rate it as a non-alcoholic wine and then rate it within the category within the category of being normal wine it's got the wine in it but then there's just like oh it's missing the alcohol it's missing that um it's not like it's just like it's just not warming my chest yeah because there's no alcohol in it hello really like did a rookie by putting ice in it i'm not sure where we got the idea from it's's just, it's sweeter. Right? It is sweeter than normal. It's thinner.

That's what it is. Yeah, it is thinner. And it's just there's obviously no alcohol so it's a bit boring. I don't know what to do with it but it's actually it is better than, sorry, it is better than what I thought at the beginning. It's better than a crappy wine. I would rather have that than a really horrible red wine. I've never really had a bad red wine.

I have. A cold one. Yeah, you've had one call no no no i have no i have i have had bad red wine where it's just like very like and it's like gives you like red stains your teeth red and all that yeah like i prefer tanniny is that what you would do oh no i don't making it oh my god the blossom hill i saw someone drinking blossom hill recently that right that bright bright pink rosé no but you know what real housewives of like la they all drink their rosé is honestly this red and also their red wine is so thin it's like it's like a mixture of rosé yeah maybe it's fake i'm'm like, what's that wine? That's their rosé. Rosé is disgusting. That's actually so nice. She drinks it.

She's like, blech. And you're like, it's lovely. No. I don't think it's too bad. I would prefer to have this in a bottle of really bad wine. Well, look, you would definitely only have like one glass of this. I don't think you'd sink the whole bottle. So that would be very sickly.

But okay, so overall, I'm going to give it a five because i don't really have much to compare yeah i'm gonna give it a five oh my god you know what i had the other day i was telling you about this craig david's that's they're called tequila shots with pineapple has anyone else had that that's listening really yum i'm pretty sure that's just like a well-known thing like instead of the lime you can do it with pineapple like in fancy restaurants they sometimes grill the pineapple and then no not a physical pineapple juice sorry not an actual pineapple so you have a bit of the pineapple juice first and it like coats your mouth and sugar so when you have the shot you don't really taste like the tequila where you have the shot and then you eat a pineapple oh my god no i didn't mean no it's

juice so you have like two shots i've never seen you do you would like it this is new single male outplay we can't use the word Mel in this podcast new boats have we called this a Mel from now on absolutely not she called you Haps people a lot of people do so that's it guys
