Hey guys, it's Sophie here. I'm Melissa. And welcome to our new podcast. Wednesdays, we drink wine.

Right. Hey guys, we're back. Hey guys. did we ever go anywhere i'm not sure no we we missed like a week so it feels like we've been gone ages but well we didn't actually not for you guys we're in the studio melissa's cracking open a bottle of wine this is the first drink that sophia and i have had together in quite a few weeks we've been doing the non-alcoholic i know what's going on really didn't enjoy that guys the non-alcoholic just like no i'm just gonna drink water really i am actually on antibiotics today but i'm still gonna have a little sippy sip because it doesn't do anything bad all it does is make you feel a bit weird if you drink loads of it doesn't do anything to the antibiotics yeah but it stops them from working it doesn't miss mortal it doesn't yes it does it just makes you feel sick

but that's only if you drink a lot of it you'll be fine with like like a couple sips oh yeah yeah fine i can't wait to have a little sip i think this has been recommended this has been recommended it's called ned the ned do you think it's from the net the private members well considering it's from new zealand i don't think so oh okay it's a pinot we like a pinot 2020 we do oh it's kind of like a mountain yeah i think you're right like you know what you can you know on a map when you get those lines did you learn about that in geography what 12 years ago the lines like show like there's like an incline in a hill a mountain you guessed that really well check me out and no well that kind of gave it away to me because at the top of the bottom it's like 990 meters up oh i see maybe

it makes you feel like your altitude you know when you're asked you do you feel a bit drunk i wonder why it's called that that's obviously where the vineyard it almost looks like rosé yeah what the heck no i think that's just maybe it's just the color of the table coming through yeah we're being the wine oh no no that is rosé how weird is it that is so no no no when you hold it up there it's not so bad but there's like some okay let's do it again smells divine yeah it's quite yummy it's really fruity it's actually fruity do you know what that's actually really sweet for a peanut but but I really like it. Is it just me or is it like slipping on your tongue really nicely? Yeah, it's really sweet.

Like, do you guys recommend we say anything other than smooth, sweet or... It's lovely. Very drinkable. Very. Oh, for fuck's sake. It's very drinkable. Anything that we like is drinkable. It is sweet.

It's not tangy, but I actually prefer that because... Yeah, it's not too dry. When everything's too, too, too dry, it's not very nice. It's like it really hits the back of youry but i actually prefer that it's not too dry when everything's too too too dry it's like it really hits the back of your throat and you'll be like i so agree and also i always feel like the hangovers are worse even though really that's not how it's meant to be because it's the sugar that gives you a hangover isn't it whatever is it yeah dehydration and the sugar oh god you're basically on a sugar low the next day is that true that's why everyone says have a coke

but it doesn't make sense when people say oh i'm gonna have a diet coke and i'm hungover i'm like well that's not got any real sugar it's not gonna help you apparently you know what it actually is is your sugar hormones it's like in insulin like your hormones go mental which basically and the lack of sleep because like i think it's the tiredness too. Yeah, apparently, basically. Well, what I'm thinking, oh, I'm making no sense. I know, maybe not. Because even if I have, let's just say we had a bottle of red wine each. But then we had a really good normal night's sleep.

I would still feel tired the next day. I'd feel toss after a bottle of red. Because it still takes... It also gives me nightmares. Does it give anyone out? It's like red wine makes me sleep so badly. and it makes my stomach feel like i've eaten like a block of cheese no i was gonna say i only have nightmares if i have a lot of cheese that actually does make me dream weirdly no do you know when like i don't get a hangover it's like when i go

and have like a picante i was gonna say picante night after night time after time that's when i feel all right wine and sometimes dinners like sometimes i have those dinners with you and we have like just a bottle of prosecco and a little bit and i feel terrible to be fair prosecco and champagne does give you like what champagne head is like what people say because it just makes you have a splitting headache yes the bubbles even in the night sometimes during the night i'm like the hangover's starting now like i can feel the headache coming you're going to bed too early that's what's happening there then no as in i'm still up oh as in like it's been a couple hours if i'm just drinking champagne all night it will then start to give me a headache and i'm like god i need to switch over champagne heads coming to

what what do you have wine or something else it's when you're at an event or a wedding and they just fuel you with champagne you know what i mean wait i've got a wedding scene oh wait i just guys i'm so itching to talk about melissa's life because she hasn't living the single life oh has she single life is so fun oh i feel like we should make so you need to come and experience it with me i've like been the. I've not left the house. You really haven't. Or drank in... It's been four weeks.

This is my first... That's my first sip after four weeks. And I'm literally only having a sip of it, but it was divine. That's only someone I probably haven't come with. I know I was your wingman, but I still haven't got to come out. We've got this...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've had a little break, and now we're back on course. We're going to be back on course. I mean, obviously, I won't be, like, getting the boys, but I'll be there with... To be fair,ie will be your other wingman i called i've told you guys this before i call them my fairy godparents we really are you really are um okay

we need to crack on on that note halloween was one of the many nights that i've missed out because i am literally a grandma but mel Melissa didn't you you really took one for the team that night didn't you I took one for a couple people's teams yeah no I didn't your outfit I'm not gonna lie like there wasn't much effort there wasn't much effort so the second night was quite spontaneous I didn't have an outfit I only decided to go like that week for the second night out which was on the Saturday so I reused my friend's outfit I was with on the Friday I was like can I just borrow your cowboy hat and um she had a little t-shirt that said cowgirl on it that she also ordered like a bit of blood on you I was like come on for a cowgirl why

would I wear blood you're dead to be fair you know what it wasn't like everyone was going above and beyond with their like outfits yeah it was like I was like fine there was some people that were I was like they just looked uncomfortable and like halfway through the night they would take half of it off yeah no i would you know i wouldn't be wearing like the wig there's no way but i really really wanted to do like the wet hair look you know lottie moss did it really well that wet hair look i wanted to i don't know gel maybe i wanted to put blue eye contacts in because hello and then like a corset so i look like something basically a hoe basically a hoe i mean that is what halloween's all about yeah go on just give us your inner you know what time you get in there both nights who's not very nice word

what do we call it i'm in a slut you know we've all got one of those to dress up that's not much out of it yeah oh god it's all the same isn't it you know we meet we know you know we know can you like for this a little bit more? Well, should we wait for single diaries or do you want me to go through it right now? Sorry, I'm just, I'm really jumping ahead of game. You really are.

But actually, do you think about the outfits? People did do some quite weird ones, didn't they? These are very impressive, but this is not like I'm going to a party. This is like I'm having prosthetics done for an Instagram picture.

Yeah, but all the famous people do that. Like Heidi, what was Heidi Clems, actually? She always goes huge on Halloween. Yeah, but all the famous people do that. Like Heidi, what was Heidi Klum's actually? She always goes huge on Halloween. Yeah, Queen of Halloween. What did she do that one year where she had all the prosthetics and she looked like a cartoon?

I'm going to see what she did this year. Heidi Klum. She does go very big. Halloween. Oh, you know who we obviously loved? Hailey Bieber's Britney Spears, like imitations of Halloween. That was really coolitations Halloween that was really

cool I don't think that was literally for a photo shoot that wasn't for a real yeah I did I think I yeah cool but not what was this her oh yeah when she went as Betty Boop yeah that's it Jessica Rabbit Jessica Rabbit oh my Jesus she's done some really good ones so cool but that must take hours oh my gosh should I tell you a Halloween story go on at university i put green eye contacts in because i just love to anyway during the night i'm so yeah yeah we've got brown eyes so we love to mix up middle of the night i lost one i was like how did you do i was like i probably was kissing someone your eyes are so big maybe it just fell out oh why thanks yeah anyway i was like what's happened lost it anyway night's over it's like whatever back of my uni halls in the mirror and it's taken off that you've got to put yeah it

looks so weird pull it off anyway wake up in the morning go wash my face it's slid back in it rolled so i was like you're so dangerous it rolled to the back of my head shit and i was just there like with this bright so dangerous yeah it's like toxic you know but you're doing for the eye you know um why because apparently i need to know this because my brother wears contacts we have like different obviously succumb not circumferences but like gradients of eyes so some of us have super round and some of them are more flatter so if you have a con normally oh it makes a prescription yeah you have it that it's made to your eye like whatever shape and i think i'm not saying basically

i can understand because my arm is literally blind you if you have wear contacts for too long your the shape of your eye changes yeah it does it either goes flash around and so then you need to not wear contacts for ages to be able to wear glasses but it wouldn't have affected me because i think i've got like 20 20 vision i'm not'm not actually sure. Yeah same I do. The chicken shop girl do you know who she is? No. Well she's fantastic and she won it for me. She did like the Drake cover album Oh I think I have seen that. The pregnant emoji

girl and it was frighteningly similar. There is some really good outfits going around. Yeah. Well done to everybody who made a big effort. I'm going to do a party one year and it's going to be like no effort no entry and everyone has to go huge that would be sick yeah i might do a christmas party and everyone has to dress up with something yeah good idea love a themed party same just any excuse to wear an outfit eye contact honestly i would wear blue eye contacts to be

mrs gorse um anyway we've got some lovely follow-ups oh go on then tell me so this is from a couple weeks ago when we gave some advice on um like your inner self-confidence and all that do you remember that yes i do hey girls i wanted to thank you for such quick advice from my dilemma it made me tear up hearing your kind words and it was exactly the pep talk i needed that's so sweet i wanted to write back sooner but i thought i'd write back when I had a positive update after hearing what you said I realized you were totally right I was in such a negative headspace that every negative thought I had would dwell on until it became true to me after I realized that that was happening I actively tried to become more positive about my appearance and things in general.

Now every time I see something that I do like I focus on that and actually let myself believe I look good where before I think well those things look ugly so it doesn't matter if I think this part of me is pretty. I've also been going to the gym for a few months now and starting to see some results as well and generally looking after myself more which is making me feel a lot more optimistic. I think going to the gym makes such difference really does or working out I am

so grateful to you both for listening to me and everyone else whose dilemma you've replied to because it really helps more than you realize it's such a lovely podcast listen to and it brightens my day every Wednesday lots of love to you both and I hope you enjoyed the wine that is so so i'm so happy and i hope anyone else who felt the same listens that and and follows in half its steps because i hope by the sounds of it you're feeling better and that's all you are so good like the mind is like such a like powerful oh my god you should read the power of now it's a really good book it's like following on from the secret something like. It's kind of the same vibe, but more about like understanding how the mind is. It's just more controlling.

We've also had another really cool update. Hi girls, I love the podcast. It gives me life on my long walk home from the gym. My dilemma is more of a thank you. The girl who was struggling with her self-confidence really resonated with me. I recently got engaged and I've had to be quite organized as we're getting married next spring, so I needed to get my dress ASAP. I have IBS and get so self-conscious of my tummy and I've hated dress shopping so far.

However, I went to a beautiful showroom and was in a very safe lacy cover dress when I decided to try on a sleek silky dress. I fell in love with it but i kept trying to talk myself out of it and i've never liked my arms so it was a risk to have them out but i thought about it and what you girls have said about everyone having our insecurities and so i decided to be confident and say yes to the dress i love who cares if i get a bit bloated right anyway thank you girls for your positivity on the podcast and i've attached a picture of me in my dress love please keep it on that looks absolutely stunning oh my god that is made my day and that is the most beautiful dress that really is you look absolutely incredible

like incredible insane also everybody blooming bloats you know what i mean like whenever whenever i go out i'm like right i'm gonna blow it as soon as you eat or drink anything why does that not happen to boys because they wear they wear trousers like it's because we wear a dress it's just no i don't think they blow like i've never had jayne get off i feel a bit bloated oh yeah that's a good point like girls just play maybe because but we talk about it they don't talk about it because they just don't care if they do they're like oh i'm so full but like they are probably bloated but they probably it's not even a thing to them do you know what i mean whereas to us we're so we're so we like castricize ourselves is that the right word all the time we're like oh god i'm so bloated whereas boys just don't care if they are i don't know what

that word you just said is as in like we we um criticize yeah yeah criticize ourselves um that you look stunning and that's made my day oh my god beautiful beautiful guys also let's do more of these because i love to hear this like self-love and self-positivity and yeah and then also like lovely like success success stories of where you've like to be honest like i know that that our advice probably kick-started you but like you fully helped yourself in these scenarios like that was all the power of you do you know what i mean yeah yeah exactly and so anyone else listening to that it's just it's all in the mind it's just your state of mind like you just need to change it and change take out the negative to make yourself

think more positively should we um read some of our actual dilemmas yeah should i read the first one admitting you've caught the feels oh okay hi lovelies love love love the podcast i listen every week from halfway around the world in new zealand oh wicked so i have a dilemma a few years ago i moved into a new place and became really close with one of the guys that lived there too something could have happened but i was about to move overseas for at least a few years so to protect myself I kept it Macy. We kept in touch when I was overseas and when I recently returned we have started hanging out again. My dilemma is I now have started developing feelings for him and I have no idea how to now cross that boundary of friendship to something more. I'm

unsure of how he actually feels and I don't want to lose our friendship if he doesn't feel the same. But I need to confront these feelings because it's eating me up. Oof. Oof. Help. What would you do?

How would you go about telling him? Is there a subtle way to do it? Any advice? Oof. I've never gone from being in the friend zone to telling someone I like them. This is a really hard boundary to cross. But surely he feels

it's it i need a bit on back like have you flirted have you got what's the relationship like but did she say so she said that she was seeing him before is that yeah so he obviously so they've gone yeah so they've crossed that river already sort of thing i just keep flirting with them too yeah i think make sure you look quite like like, fit every time you say it. Like, make an effort. I think it's, like, we've said this before, like, you act a certain way with friends, guys that are friends.

Like, you almost want to turn them off, right? Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Whereas with boys that you kind of want to flirt with, like, you just act differently. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like... So make sure that you're not being too, like,

matesy and chancy with him. Yeah, don't like fart in front of him or anything or like go to the loo yeah but you know she might don't like go to the loo or don't like talk about getting with boys in front of him yeah i mean because that is friends only what she wants to know is does she like ask does she tell him i personally wouldn't get i would wait i'd keep flirty flirty flirty i'd maybe like oh god i know it sounds so bad i'm influencing your strength but i just get a bit drunk with him and see where the nightly yeah like go on and go on and go on go for dinner together and like have some lovely drinks

then go to a bar which is like a bit sexy vibes yeah and see what happens basically like force him into a date without him knowing coerce him be like oh we're just going out for a fancy some chicken wings tonight and then oh stumble across a town looking fire and then stumble across like some really cozy little bar that you that's really loud so you have to like crouch in and listen to him exactly and then when it's you know that everyone's talking doing like the we whisper something like all the hair hairs on your neck stand up have you ever seen that meme no i have not tell me about it sounds lovely it's like you know when like if people are like do you want to go to desco and it's them whispering in the air but the guys like back hairs have stood up because it's so true it's

like if anyone whispers like honestly do you remember like at school when like they would whisper something in your ear to like go do a do yeah yeah okay that's a really good piece of advice actually so go somewhere where it's a bit loud and you've got to get really close and like talking each other's ear and touchy-feely yeah yeah yeah you've got to get very close to each other's face keep touching his leg yeah yeah yeah i have like a weird like tick where i like used to slap like honestly jamie like i still sometimes it to him like i like slap him like do not do that i'm just like i like you this is like interesting i used to like slap people all the time like when i fancy them i didn't know why i'm pleasing i do that to

you if i'm laughing my head off yeah stop yeah you really that's not because i fancy how you should i just do it i just slap that and i also clap if I'm like laughing my head off as well. Yeah, yeah. And I do it at the table. I'm like. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. So don't slap anyone, guys.

That was really good advice turned into something a little bit rude. Yeah, we'll just do that. But definitely like coerce him into a date. He won't even know what's hit him. And then you look, oh, just great. Yeah. And get those minutes in your best best self like feeling your best self all the time oh yeah the whole shabang because then whenever you're at his

house he's going to be like gosh he just smells so nice i like and then when you go he's thinking about you because you just swapping around this is a bizarre piece of advice and this is going along the lines of playing games but maybe if he saw you then flirting with someone briefly in front of him he would be like oh yeah but i think that's cute that's step two because you've got to get him we've got to get him hooked first yeah yeah then we can flirt and make you think she's gonna get taken yeah exactly oh god so many steps this guy's you know john tucker must die we need to make our own version of this. live dealer studio exclusively on FanDuel Casino where winning is undefeated. 19 plus and physically located in Ontario.

Second dilemma is do I need to buy him a birthday present okay hey sophie and melissa loving the podcast i've been dating this guy for just over a month now we've been on about five dates and i think things are going well it's his birthday coming up very soon and i'm not sure what to get him i'll definitely get him a car but not sure how much i should spend on a gift slash what i should get any advice would be great oh god i'm gonna be really boring just say buy him a nice dinner i would know where to get him a present i would just be like oh i'll get this dinner it's your birthday i'll be like let's go for dinner i'm taking you for dinner

yeah go for a nice dinner and be like obviously actually actually five days hang on a sec five dates they probably sat together i would probably wouldn't get a present oh i'd get something funny like i'd do something jokey. Yeah, don't spend a lot. No, like, for Jamie, I got him, like, he loves Wagyu biltong from Selfridges. Stunning. Extremely.

And Melissa actually bought it for him the other week as a present. But then she ate it herself. So true, I did. It's because I didn't end up seeing you, and it was just in my fridge, so I ate it myself. She was also, she went, it's going to go off. I was like, I don't think beef jerky goes off i asked the lady at the desk and she said it will go off in 10 days god that's something i've never seen each other before no but it we

went over the date and i was like i'm just gonna eat it it's been five days and i don't know anyway that's what i would have got him because i know he loves it so yeah and that was a good like low-key but cute thoughtful like funny also like oh nice yeah um or what could i don't know i don't know like maybe like even something really lame if you eat like roly-polies together get the back of them yeah and i would also i would also if you are going out just buy him a nice dinner i think it's different i know it sounds strange and get him a pillow with your face on it jokes i actually think that's like no to be fair no it's too far i was gonna say that's a friend of mine did that for someone but they'd been together for way longer you know who

i mean yeah yeah so that's different but yeah you could you must have by level five date five level five you must have some form of like joke or like know something you know some things that's yeah do something thoughtful and clever rather than something like a generic like a jumper or a pair of boxers that's just no it's that's like or maybe if you know that he like wants to see a certain film and you like take like plan a cute little date night take it to cinema or something and then go out yeah just i don't know how much football tickets are but like if he likes football something like that yeah that's a good idea something like that is good yeah that's quite cool actually if you did that do you remember when i bought i bought jamie

yankees tickets for new york but then i didn't buy the flight so i was like you what yeah yeah i was like so you can buy the hotel and the flights for us yeah exactly it's your birthday yeah i was like I bought the tickets. He was like, so where are we going? I was like, oh, I haven't got that far yet. I don't think you ever went, did you? No, COVID helped me on that one. Saved me a couple quid.

Don't remember you ever going to New York. Last one. Wedding outfit. Wedding outfit. We've got another wedding outfit. I know please this is about clothes what would you wear to a wedding it's in london and it's a no time theme no tie theme but what does that mean to girls yeah what does that mean do i go long or short boobs or not is it fancy it's a fancy place in london and i know there's some mic people going so i need to look at my best i wonder who is going who's oh i thought sorry i thought she meant an mic but wedding i was thinking does she know that we're mic i was like who on earth is

getting um married what color do i go white is a write-off i presume white and black is an absolutely so appreciated thank you for keeping my mind happy well firstly very happy keep my mind happy secondly you may keep our mind happy I wouldn't go long for a no time I wouldn't go long I would do short but don't do black I wouldn't do short I do maybe midi good idea no I would do short I do short yeah but you're you're tinky tiny and for me if I wear short it's short that's because your legs are very large so it depends what your body shape is just decide that a midi is a really safe bet for a wedding yeah no i would go mid thigh or below yeah yeah you don't want to go mega short tight tight dress

and i wouldn't go boobalicious no i i would do it's harder winter though because like summer you can do like floaty like... And you can also do a lovely light colour like a light pink where you can do like a yellow or a blue. Yeah, it is a bit harder. I would maybe...

I always think navy is a lovely smart colour. I do too. Just an off one. I went to a winter wedding and I wore a suit. I was about to say a suit's quite a good shout.

And I felt really cool in it actually. I just felt mad. But you did. That is a good shout though. Because you're warm. Like you're going to be outside. And also you could wear a stunning smart smart top underneath it. And if you take the blazer off.

Really amazing high heels. Yeah. Don't wear a black suit though. People do wear black though. But that's more black tie. Not for a wedding. You can if it's black tie. You can. I agree. I can if it's black tie you can i don't i agree i just think it's a no-go zone black i i i do you know what i mean i agree with

you i wouldn't although my suit was black whoops but it was black and white so i feel like i think i know the one the one with the white stripes yeah yeah but that's not fully black and it's not fully white let me tell you yeah um god you've almost two colors we've been like don't wear black and don't wear white um but i think this is quite a good job but obviously not everyone likes suits then a midi is a really good one i wouldn't i wouldn't wear a long one to a no tie personally same i think it's too much unless it's a very there is some of those in between dresses they're all lovely smart jumpsuits like oh my god lovely smart jumps i think jumpsuits your jumps and then your safe zone whatever where you go yeah apart from when you need a pee but yeah but yeah jumpsuits where i'd go it's right lovely jumpsuit and you're warm

enough wear a lovely jacket over the top when you're nipping outside for whatever reason yeah you can wear a blazer as well which is over the top yeah um can you send us photos please of what you decide to wear yeah follow up on this follow up please please okay it's time wine of the week is the wind the wine of the week is the net the wind of the week is that if you're in a bad mood right how do i word this because i kind of agree with both sides if you're in a bad mood is it fair for your partner to get annoyed with you feeling a bad mood even though i get an annoyed at jamie when he's around me but i've been in a bad mood because i'm about to call my period so different standard and like keep crying and he's like pumped full of hormones all the time. Yeah.

It's not fair, is it? But is that fair, guys? Actually, can we have a poll on that? Like, what? Is that fair? To get pissed off with your partner for being in a bad mood. Yeah, he like gets really mad today. It depends if you're being rude to somebody else.

Yeah, well, that's apparently what I do. But I don't think I do. So with my ex, like neither of us were that moody. But he would get hangry. Oh, yeah. And then it would just be it would then piss me off because i'd be like you're in a bad mood again and he would then they would eat and he'd be like sorry i was in such a bad mood but like i would get annoyed when that person

was in a bad mood because it just puts negative energy and then you get and then you bicker you bicker yeah well yeah that was mine anyway on to more important and more interesting things the melissa tuttom single diamonds. So, it all kicked off at Halloween. We had a bit of a dry patch. God, I really am sad for you. A bit of a dry patch for a while, didn't we? A bit, yeah.

We did, indeed. I want to say that was a month of zero gas, nothing. Yeah, it was really quite boring, actually. It really was. You know what? Halloween's so good because everyone's in, like, different outfits. And, like, all the boys look fitter because they makeup on yeah no it's so true it's so true and the next they have the eyeliner and the days after you look stunning for a week so funny my friend

Oh my God. I'm really shooting myself a bit. I'm going to ruin myself. Let's hate. It's a good job this is a very girl-oriented audience. Oh God. Basically,

there's too much of a fear of rejection for anyone that I remotely fancy. I would never ask for it. I know what you mean. I like turning into a city girl when I really fancy someone. Maybe I'll get better and my confidence will grow the more I remotely fancy. I would never ask for it. I know what you mean. I like turning into a city girl when I really fancy someone. Maybe I'll get better and my confidence will grow

it sounds like Sophie's wearing a ski jacket I know so I'm also sweating oh no so am I it's so warm it's because we've had a glass of wine

I'm not hot but it's like I'm really sweating cold sweat I'm going to have the same thing horrible horrible okay sorry what are you rating I'm going to rate it a 6.5 only because I feel like

I've just been so generous in my previous ratings and I need to just yeah I'm going to rate it a 7 so the wine's 10 pounds from sainsbury's oh yeah i'm gonna write that a seven 7.5 for 10 because it actually tastes expensive i know that sounds weird but it does compared to the wines that i have my general store downstairs are like 12 pounds 13 this is much nicer but they're not what nice the cheap ones down there yeah yeah cheaper ones do you remember that horrible one we drank once which one don't know if it was on the podcast um anyway
