Okay, welcome back, King and Queen. Welcome back to Girls Who Overshare. Now for the visual listers like Lydia, I ain't even gonna let you talk yet because I've got to address the elephant in the room. I'm in my pajamas. I got a bloody blanket, mate. We're tired, guys. I'm shy. Honestly, I I think I've got a package. I've got to slow down. You know, I'm getting old. I honestly don't know who I think I am, but I'm absolutely exhausted. Absolutely exhausted. Ask me what time I woke up this morning. Oh, because I'm not gonna drop this. I'm in my pajamas. Don't know if I said, but I'm in my pajamas. You did say that. They're cute. What time did she wake up this morning? Quarter five. Emma's got a lovely PJ collection, I'll I'll tell you that much. Do you know what? I've got two, but I've I mine up this pair on ASOS and they're cream with bears on them. Similar patterns. I used to get more PJs. I just kind of sleep in fucking anything, girls. They are a vi but then I found I was hoarding things unnecessarily because I'll go, oh, I'll sleep in it. Um do you know what I mean? Like a top that you don't like anymore. It's like, oh, you can wear it to bed, and then you've got 15 things you can wear to bed. Yeah, that's true. Do you know what I mean? More of a big t-shirt, maybe some pants. Maybe some pants. You'll treat yourselves with some pants. You know what? Yeah, but like some briefs. I try not to sleep in a thong. Do you sleep with no pants on? No, I always sleep with pants on. Oh really? Unless I've got like, you know, like some flowy PJ shorts. I'll put those on. Yeah. So the girls can breathe. The girls, I'm not sure what's going on down there. I mean, we have got three holes. So, right. Anyway, I got up a quarter to five. Yeah. My train was at six this morning. Shit. And I was in the office. How were the strikes? Was it okay? Okay, so I um got to St. Pancras and I was like, oh fucking hell. Here we go. I just made a beeline for the underground. Yeah. And um, usually if there's full-on strikes, it's fucking locked off, you know, the big gate. And I noticed that there were it wasn't locked off. So the tubes were every 12 minutes. Right. But my timing was perfect as soon as I walked on the platform. I felt like, you know, that intense wind where you're like battering, and I was like, oh, there's one coming. There's one camp. Anyway, there was one in 12 minutes and then another in 24. But at that point it was like at that point it was like there's probably no almost seven o'clock. Yeah. Well, there was um people about because I imagine it's probably easier to everyone's trying to beat the ring. Yeah. But on my way back, um I I left the office at like four, so before people started setting off, um, and they were every like five, yeah. So not really. But I know some people did have some issues getting in. Um but I again EMR train, not on time. Really? Not on time again. Even at six o'clock in the morning. Well, no, the that train was on time going home. I'm sorry, it's a fucking joke. Yeah, they haven't been good at the minute. You know that 547 has not been on time at all. St. Pancras just can't handle the amount of people traipsing through there. It can't, which is mad because we're a country that commutes. I know. Like, I don't, it's just the math ain't mathing. I mean, you know, the privatization of of public transport and all that fucking shit. We're not even gonna get into it. But do you know what I hate? I fucking hate commuters. I I hate You are a commuter. I hate that I'm one of them. I Lydia, what do you hate about the way these people cue and push and shove and literally speed walk to go get a train? There's nothing ickier. I'm actually so embarrassed for every single person. And then when we get off the train, everybody disperses like fucking ants to go sit at a desk. Yeah, and then everyone does the same thing. It's so bizarre to me to watch, it's so weird. Powerwalking. Look, and like that's no hate, but it's just my own sort of frustration. It's just strange. Everyone's doing the same thing. Yeah, gotta get to your desk to jump on a bloody team's call. And then, like, people are getting annoyed that people are like passing them in the queue, and I saw an almond dad in the wild. Imagine the guy that's just stood there, boat shoes, chinos, shirt, obviously, uh, a vest, uh a gilet, and he was just um, you know, like juggling, like tossing some walnuts in his hand. No almond nuts, correct. Almond nuts. Literally, almond dad eating almonds. He wasn't doing that thing, you know, where people try and polish walnuts and move them in their hand. He was eating on it. But that's such a dad thing. They stand in the kitchen, yeah, legs open, right? Okay, they're talking about someone and they're just like tossing some nuts in their hands and eating them. And yeah, he was quite bizarre. I saw two guys on the train last week, older men, who I can only assume were like Italian, they were definitely European, and they split a bueno. That is the sweetest thing ever. He took one out the sleeve because obviously they're coming too, and he gave his friend one. That's really nice. Bueno's are meant to be shared, and Italians love kinda. Yeah, kinda dad. Do they? Yeah, they love it. I didn't know that. How do you know that? Because I work with Italian people. Lydia is an Italian Lydia, Lydia has the volume of an Italian. I do. It's like infected me. I was already loud, um, and now I'm louder. It really shocks me. Yeah, I scream. It really shocks me. I scream. That's the only way you get heard. Yeah, no, you're right, you're right. Otherwise, they're like, ha! Yeah, yeah. So tell me again. You sh you're you're so right. You're so right. So I'm like screaming. Oh my god. Um guys, uh Love Island started last night. I couldn't believe it. Oh my gosh. I knew it started in June. I was sat on my laptop and I saw a first look. No, I still have the Love Island app on my phone. And why I have no idea. The notification went boo-doop. And then I went on Instagram and I saw a first look. And I was like, hang on. Yeah. And then I went on the Instagram and it was like first episode tonight at nine o'clock. It was an hour and a half long. Ran to Emma's room. Emma, you're not gonna believe it. I absolutely love Love Island. So life is just better when it's on the TV. Yeah. The season with the big three on it, and then also the season All-Stars with Grace Rosa and Luca. Absolute privilege to watch that relationship bump. Million Zack? Oh my god, Million Zack. Oh, was that the most decent all-stars? I just I love, I love Love Island so much. Honestly, and I'm I can't lie, guys. I assume the listeners would be watching Love Island if you're anything like us. I'm not sure if the cast is gonna top last year. I'm just not sure. How can you say that with one day in? We just haven't saw the cast from last year and went E. No. Yeah. As soon as they came into the villa, I just felt like they all kind of I don't know what happened. I'm excited by this long. Yasmin is a baddie. Oh, excluding Yasmin, she's a bad one. Yasmin, I like Mika too. Yasmin, Yasmin, Mika, I can see that alliance working. I think they're real. I think Yasmin's got that sass that Tony and Shakira had. Yeah. I think I think we're gonna have some fun. However, not to chat shit, but to chat shit, the male bombshell. I'm not sure about him. I'm not sure about the men in general. If I was the girls in there, I know they look better in person or whatever, they're taller in person. No man would ever give any woman that benefit of the doubt. No. So why are we giving them that? I'm not excited by any of the men. Have you ever known any man to sit and be like, oh no, maybe she'll grow on me? No man has ever said that in their lives. Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. The new male bombshell. They all look like they're 22. No one's giving man. I saw someone saying that God he turned up at night. Not that God he turns up because he would have probably got some murder in the day, like no. Oh, people are dragging him. I do like but the girls are always better looking. What can I say? There's so many good-looking girls. The only guy that gives me good vibes is it OP?

unknown 9:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:32

The West End guy. Yeah. He seems nut, he seems like genuine. The other guys, I'm just not sure. Oh, I don't know. We'll see. I don't think there's just not much assertiveness going on there for me. I feel like none of them really know how to chat to girls. Like Lorenzo talking to Jasmine on the that little net thing by the pool. Yeah. I feel like he didn't know what to do with her. He didn't know how to rise her up. No, I'm sorry, the emotional intelligence from each group is night and day. Yeah. And you know exactly which one's day. Are we watching tonight's episode? Lydia, it's the only thing that's good that's gonna happen to me today. That and are we done talking about Love Island? Yeah, we're done talking about Love Island. Okay, we can't wait to watch uh the second episode tonight. If you guys aren't watching it, please watch it. It's just the highlight because I think we are gonna be commenting on it. When it's not on the TV anymore, I'm just like, what do I do with my watch? Uh something else I had. The last thing on Love Island, just last thing. I did watch um uh Love Island The Debrief with the big three. Oh, okay, which is Tony and Shakira. Good. Really? It makes sense. Uh no shade to India and what was her name? Uh exactly. Uh oh my god, Idya. Whoops. Gideon. Uh Amy. Sorry. You guys, you guys were the Trailblazers. However, this feels a little bit more natural because they were on the same season, they were friends. It's really good. Girls, I do have a little bit of a little come close, come close. Come hither. This will not make it on the socials. This is this is the gossip for my special people who listen to the episodes through and through. I'm watching TV, the boys are coming in, and I'm like, Do I know that guy? Then can't recognise him. So one of the boys in there, I've met him before at a house party at uni. And imagine there were two other boys chirps me up as well as him that night. And one of them ended up being my boyfriend. Shit, yeah, yeah, that night. And I remember talking to him. Um, and fuck it, I'm gonna say who he was. It's Sam Raj. That's I met him. He went pretty sure he went to uniov. Yeah, but I only had one encounter with him, and I had to make sure because you know on the Love Island account, they follow all the islanders. You gotcha, and I went on and I was following him, and there was no way I would have followed him otherwise. But yeah, he looks really familiar, and I can't believe I only had one encounter with him. We never crossed. Was he tall? He is taller. Did he smell he's taller than me? To be fair, Lydia, it was an afters. No, it was an afters, it was after the stingy house, yeah, and we were outside in the garden, yeah, and yeah. I mean, I c it I I don't remember that the interaction really being long, but I was also probably quite drunk. Yeah. Um, also, God bless DVD players. I've spoken about my DVD player once before. I'll speak about it again. My lovely mother got it for me for Christmas. Yeah. I fucking love it. Because I Lydia and I are fantasy book girlies. We are, but we love fantasy in every kind of medium, if you will, whether that's a book or a film, you know, yeah, it's like TV series. Medieval. Yeah, we just love that escapism, we love that bandwidth. Yeah, and a nine dystopian, yeah, enemies to lovers, you know, for that sort of vibe. I love that shit. So I absolutely love the Hobbit films, and I've watched them so many times. Like, I'm actually, I just, I just love them. And we're watching some back to back. I do watch them back to back. I just it's just my vibe through and through. But how have I watched The Hobbit without watching Lord of the Rings? I'm just conscious as well. I sound probably really nerdy right now, but that is truth. Imagine my ex-boyfriend looked at my Netflix like top picks, like you know how on your Netflix it shows what it was, like what it is you watched. Yeah, and I think I had like I had like Vikings Valhalla, uh, The Last Kingdom, uh Love, Vikings, the actual series, yeah, and like just not what you'd expect, whatever the fuck that means, but that is just my vibe. So yeah, I've watched The Hobbit, love those films. Hate that I have to buy them on Prime. Hate it. 20 quid for all three of the films. They're never always there, you're right. No, and I'm sick of that. Yeah, I feel like if I've watched a film once, yeah, I should always be able to access it again. Yeah. What do you mean I'm buying something that's from how many years ago? I'm not doing that. So I went on to Amazon and I went, I'm gonna treat myself to the Lord of the Rings box set like series, and I'm just on a hunt to just complete my collection of DVDs. I just I wanna own it. I wanna own it. What do you mean if my TV dies or if Prime or Amazon go collapses that I've spent a hundred two hundred quid on films that I won't own? What do you mean the world will end and I can't watch TV? What do you mean? As long as we have electric, everyone's coming around. I'm like I have to watch film in an apocalypse. Yeah, so yeah, I've bought the Lord of the Rings, they came today. I'm so excited. Guess how much I spent? How much? My DVDs £2.79. That's crazy, including delivery. 20 quid my fucking ass. Yeah, absolutely not. I'm just so excited. That's what I'm gonna do this weekend. I'm excited to see like the display, like, because when you when you go into like a DVD, obviously you can like skip to certain parts and all that stuff. I love all those little intricate details. We've got like in front of our TV. I think it's funny how you guys have never seen that side of the room. We haven't broken the full thing. No, we haven't. We've got like these Ikea uh like cupboards or whatever, and I'm so close to converting one of them to just put DVDs, like how nice would that be? We have taking the the front off and so that it's no, nothing's visible, but they do just need to be hidden because right now we've got I can just see them. Why not? I think there's space in there. Yeah, as long as you're alright with it, Dean. Yeah, okay. Alright, fine. That sounds good. Um, have you got any updates? I don't want to keep talking. I've got a few. I do. Uh the weekend was messy, guys. First and foremost, can I just say I I'm not okay with the fact that I've had to really work for my money this week. I'm just not happy about it at all. Not happy at all. I've been working for my money today. Why? We like we like to coast and have an easy day. So fucking broke. It was a messy fucking weekend trigger warning. We're gonna talk about sec. I was sick. Oh, sick. Yeah, Saturday. I need to find a drink other than wine, but I don't like anything else. And what I found is if I move to Spirit, I never want to finish it because I'm not really liking what I'm drinking. I sober up and I go home. Do you would you not just like to a vodka orange? A bitter orange with some vodka. Do you know what I like? Vodka, tonic, and lime cordial with loads of ice and lemon wedges and lime wedges. Really nice. But it takes me a second to get, I just don't drink it as quickly. Wine just keeps me there. Um, and we drank a lot of line, a lot of line, a lot of wine this weekend. Um, and when we got in, the room was spinning. I sat down. Emma was on the phone to our other sister. I was listening to her talk, and I was like, uh, the room's spinning. I went, right, night, everybody. Went into my room. And you know, when you get hot, I was like, oh no, sat on my floor. Oh god, had a second with my head in the toilet. Um, and then took my contacts out. I took my contacts out before. And I just get those out, popped them in the case, and then washed my face and then was in. How do you do that without feeling like you're fucking drowning? I don't know. And then I was like, Emma, put some chicken tenders in the fruit in the air fryer for me. Because we've bought these chicken tenders from Iceland and they bang. Oh my god, guys. The piri peary ones. They do three for a tenner. So good. Had some of them, I say I had some of them, fell asleep, woke up with a cramp in my leg, went ow! Sat up really quickly, my head spanned, and I and I like hobbled to the bathroom and threw up again. Oh girl. But when I woke up, I looked to my left, Emma had laid a towel, scrunched a Tesco bag into like a bowl, and there was a bowl underneath it, put some kitchen roll next to it, there was water, and then my bowl of chicken tenders and some wedges. I jumped over all of that, went straight to the toilet. You never know if you can't make it though, you know, when it wakes you up. That's true. So I just wanted to be prepared. That's true. That's all. But yeah, I spent 20 minutes frying chicken and I'm on the phone to my other sister who's drunk, and she's like, Emma, call me an Uber. And I'm like, you know how an Uber you can send someone an Uber. Yeah. Also, you don't call an Uber. Well, no, and she was like, Can you can you just book it? I was like, Yeah, sure. So I'm like trying to do that, but I'm also conscious of what's going on in the next room. I've got chicken in the air fryer. I'm like, this is the way to stress off. I'm struggling. This is the way to stress off. I was like, right, okay, Athena, where are you? She's just giving me the address and she's like, Emma, she ringsy rat. She's like, Emma, you need to add a stop. No, I was like, you're taking the fist. I was like, there's no way. I was like, fine, let me add a stop. Managed to figure it out. No, it was on the way, like, forever. But I was like, fuck. Yeah, because she went, Boss man, can you can you add a can you add a stop? Oh, this is he went, if this is Uber, you need to call your sister and ask her to put a stop, boss man. Can you add to cash? Sorry, I'm out on the hang right now. Dina's used to bloody black caps. Yeah, she's good. Yeah, she's that's what she's used. So funny. I know, God. Um you know how I knew I was mashup? We were in the smoking area of that bar, and I walked over to um the dormant because he's friends with our friend. Yeah, and he said to me, um, he's not even Greek, he went cigasiga. Googlamor. I was like this, what do you mean? What do you mean? He's like cigasia, which means slowly, slowly. Googlamor is like my doll. Yeah. Doll face. So I was like, it's time to go home, and I did, but god, I've just drank too much recently. Yeah, no, I actually need to s we need to chill. Are you drinking? No, you're having a wholesome weekend this weekend, aren't you? Yeah, I'm driving up north this weekend, doing a little road trip with the girlies. We've booked an Airbnb somewhere in the nature. I think it's gonna like dinner, walk, chit-chat, sit in the living room until God knows what time, which I feel like I need. That'll be fun. Like, no more nights out for a while. Oh my fucking god. I know it's summer, but guys, if I could tell you what I did last week, I would, but I can't. I can't, yeah. I have to wait at least a year. I can't even tell you gotta wait, you've got to wait. Like, I've got to be. Just turn on the mic and really just inform you guys. But at this state in our in our I don't know, career with this, yeah, things are too close. For comfort, things are too things would get to that person really quickly, and it's just not worth it right now. But we have loads of stories that I'm like. I've actually started writing a list of things that I'm like, I can't wait for the day where we can talk about that. Literally. Um, I have one more thing to say, guys. This is me being really fucking real. Um, we have a new neighbour and a hater. I hate a neighbour, I forgot about that. And I know it's a woman because I can hear her, and I'm gonna tell you why I can hear her. Go on. So, a couple of Sundays ago, I wake up at 8 30 in the morning, and I'm like, why am I awake? I've been up late the night before. I don't usually wake up naturally this early on a Sunday. What's happening? I hear bashment through the walls. I don't know what it was. My room was vibrating. She was having a party, right? 8 30 in the fucking morning. She's screaming to the music on top of that, oh yeah, like that. Yeah, it was it felt like folklore. I was like bash music is going on, and that's when literally, and then that's when it clocked. Our nice neighbours that used to watch football every week, and maybe have a couple people around have now vacated the premises. Yeah. And I'm sharing a wall with Mrs. Good Time Gal. Then the weekend just gone rolls around. Goes bed a little bit late, wake up at 10 past one in the morning to this woman singing, no backing track. She's just sc screaming out like that. Like that. Guys. I jumped up again because I heard someone shouting. I jumped up in a sweat and I looked around and I was like, it's dead quiet. And this girl is singing like it's five o'clock in the afternoon and it's not ten past one in the morning. I came in, I came into Emma's room, bust the door open, like Rachel, to Joey's room when the chicken was going through puberty. Okay. Um Emma can see my silhouette in the door. She's like, what what? I went, speak, speak. I went to the back. Can you hear that? Couldn't you hear that? I could. I was like, it's so loud in my room. And then the scariest thing was I came out here, looked, because I can we can kind of see the our neighbours like living room situation from where we are. It was pitch black in there, so she must have been singing in the dark. Guys, it's the eeriest thing, and every so often she sings. I sent a couple of complaints, but I'm like, it's not okay. Yeah, guys. I mean, I feel like Lydia made it sound like really joyful, but it's not joyful. There's something really eerie about what's going on over there, yeah, and it actually is quite frightening. I feel like the way this woman is reciting the same line over and over and over again sounds like she's worshipping something, and it sounds like she's making a potion. I'm hesitant to I'm hesitant to even say anything because I'm like, listen, if there's anything I've learned from Candice and Sorel, yeah, is that someone will curse you. I don't want to be hexed, no, no, and it's that serious, guys. Yeah, the bad energy that I'm getting from the sounds coming through this wall, yeah. Oh my goodness. Like, you know that you know that Etsy witch you're paying to prey on your enemies like downfall and like bury a doll in her backyard. She lives next door, yeah. So please stop paying her so she moves because I can't. A complete side note about Etsy witches. A friend of mine lost her cat recently, right? He went missing. Oh no. And she paid an Etsy witch to find him when he came back. Your how did she find him? I think he just he just he just wandered by the front door one day. So she didn't find him, he just came home. He came home after she paid the Etsy Witch, yeah. Is he an outdoor cat? No. Hmm. Um Do you know what? I do believe there are things we can't explain, which is why I really want to fucking Do you know what? There's some great films in the cinema at the minute. Um there's this one with Emily Blunt that's coming out. I'll watch anything with her. Um she's just fucking amazing. She could sit and stare at the camera and not talk for like an hour and I would go and watch it. Yeah. Oh, where is it? I would do it. Here we are. It's called Disclosure Day. Disclosure Day. Right? And I've kind of got this fat fascination with humanity not being the only sort of form of civilization in the universe. Yeah. Very much believe in aliens and things living around. 100% and like extraterrestrial UFOs. I'm sorry. It's all fucking true. Yeah. Do you remember that time people were gonna storm Area 51 back in 2020? And it became like the biggest thing. Yeah, what what was it? What was it called? I don't know, but it was just a bunch of idiots on Fucking. There's a dock on that, yeah. And it actually became the massive thing. But it's called Disclosure Day, and it's honestly the most fascinating thing ever. I really want to fall down this rabbit hole even further and further. But I'm also kind of scared because I'm also like I don't want to know in the same time in the same time. Because from my understanding, there's this civilization of humans that are like 250,000 years ahead of us, right? And they exist at the same time as us, but they are us after a uh not a catastrophic, like a basically the world ends, and it's like not apocalyptic, a new end where everyone dies, right? No, everyone in civilization is dead because of this supernatural event, right? Right, and if you guys are watching uh Paradise on Disney, you know what I mean. Um it's very much that sort of vibe. Basically, they are us after this, they've evolved and they've overcome this, so much so that they've developed like this really advanced sort of technology to the point where I think they're able to travel back in time or whatever. However, I find it all so fascinating. And the guy who's created the film does a little bit of an interview, like sort of in the trailer, and he says he sort of had the inspiration and was sort of chatting to it, I believe, his son, and he said, Well, like, wouldn't it be amazing if all these things were true? So he's like made this film in honour of that, but it just looks fucking amazing. And I just I really want to watch it. Yeah, we should watch it. Um, I thought I had one more other update. One more other update. Yeah. Uh you know, did you see the news about is it Micah, Mika from off campus? No. She split with her um fiance. It's happening. What do you mean? Do you think she's gonna end up with Well no? He's engaged. Oh, details. Dean's. I think they belong together. Oh no, no, no. Listen, I wouldn't blame anyone who was in that situation where you're forced into like a romantic role with someone. I wouldn't blame her, but he's also listen, her fiance, respectfully, he's a twat. Watch girlies, go on TikTok for those of you who haven't seen it, and there's this podcast clip, and it's a couple's podcast, and they've gone on together, and the interviewer says to her Schmans goes, How would you describe uh Micah? like in a few words, Mika Micah. I please please come um correct me. Yeah, um, and he goes, Uh, yeah, I just describe her as some bitch. You're joking. And like the hosts look at each other, and I don't know if they're doing a bit, but she doesn't seem wavered by it at all. She does seem like quite a not quiet, but quiet, confident kind of character. She's not a charismatic, really loud kind of person from the from the press that they've done. I would say she's someone who's like just quite like can just sort of have a few. But she's like she's but she's cool. Do you know what I mean? Like maybe does she have a dry sense of humour? Is that them be have being dry together? True. I mean, it has not I love dry sense of humour, but that's not funny. No, and do you know what? Everything happens for a reason. But people are saying, like, um, this man is probably cannot cope with the fact that she's achieving her dreams and her successes, you know. So and she's like having fake sex on screen with a man who is stunning, yeah. That's hard, and everybody loves their chemistry, yeah. As the subplot for the first season, people have bought into their chemistry like that. That must get to a man. Yeah, I agree, I agree. It would get to me if everyone was like, if my boyfriend had great on-screen chemistry with someone, and it was all over Instagram, all all over TikTok, it does get to you. Yeah, of course, of course. Um, I have one last thing I want to talk about. Yeah, go ahead. Girls, I got red nails for the visual listeners. I went and uh got red nails for the second time. I got them last year, loved them. I'm like, let's reconvene now that it's sunny, even though it's been fucking raining all week, so I feel like a dickhead walking around with red nails. However, I'm testing the red nail theory, okay? Because the last time I had red nails, my love life was a madness, but I was I was getting the attention. When was what can you give me a time period without getting too much aware? No. Uh no, interesting. I don't think I can. Okay. I'll tell you all the story. Um so if you aren't if you aren't, what's the word? If you aren't if you don't have red nails. If you're not aware of what the red nail theory is, it's been spoken about a lot on TikTok and the Instagram and the Gen Zs are talking about it. Basically, the idea is that you'll get more compliments and more romantic attention when you have red nails, and you'll attract more suitors, okay? Okay. Um, and I was looking into it a little bit earlier, and this lady, Molly Barstin Barstein, wrote an article for Vogue, and basically she went and got red nails, and she's a journalist, and she wrote about the experience of having it for a month. How carry rad sure of her. Um, one that definitely read the article up, we'll link it below or something. Um, the article is called If You Just Want to Research It, so it's on Vogue, it's called The Red Nail Theory. Didn't work the way I thought it would, and it's a 2025 article. Basically, she doesn't find romantic connection, but she finds that red nails made her more confident, she was like using her hands more in like Teams meetings and you know putting her nails in like little um Instagram stories she was doing, it was making her a little bit more make her put a little bit more of a pep in her step. But one thing that she wrote about in the article that completely threw me was she spoke about um Sigmund Freud, which is obviously the very controversial um notable guy in psychology for how his theories were a little bit fucked up. He spoke about sex, our idea of like how how little boys have a weird connection with their mothers and stuff. And she wrote, and was like, I have no idea where I'm going with this. So she wrote, Sigmund Freud, um he wrote that red nail polish reminds men of their mothers' hands, specifically during the time when they were young and dependent on them. So that made me think has that then created the theory that oh, red nails attract men to you? So because we remind them of their mothers who had red nails, so now I want to go and get these fucking taken off. Oh my gosh, because I don't want to be anyone's mum. Um I'll just leave you with that. So okay. That that's what's that's what was written down. I do not have a male psycho psyche right now. Every man's trying to find his mum. So when I read that, I already had my nails done. I was like, Fuck. So I'd love to read more about that. There's this there's this uh podcast called Betwixt the Sheets, and they have a a Sigmund Freud expert come on and talk about sex and the ideas of women being inferior to men and how and the idea of sexuality, and he's really interesting. Last thing I'm gonna say, he was quite progressive in his idea of like we don't choose our sexuality, it's it's something that's just it's born a part of us, and that was really progressive for the time. There was all this argument about him having sexual relationships with men, but that was never sort of proven. But then on the flip side, he used to write about women as the inferior species, but basically, like I think it was something about like our penises fell off or something, and like what's left is the vagine, so it's like that's like you what everybody should should want to have a penis, and where what the fuck am I talking about, guys? So, like the unicorn that's lost the tools, I guess it's torn at the time. And no, I just don't know how we've gotten here. Yeah, do you know? So just to tie that knock from doing the vagine is like a inferior sex organ to a penis. So that made him sound like a fucking arsehole, but used to have all these other progressive ideas about gay men. Really interesting. Listen to the episode. The woman describes it a lot better. But it's betwixt the sheets, so bizarre. What nice word of betwixt. Have you got some TikTok comments for us today? I do. Um, so I saved this video because I think it's giving the girlies um some great advice if you think a man is done fucking you around, okay? This this is this is the way to find out if there's more than just one girly pop, okay? So wait. This guy, Aaron, posted is a photo of him, and he says, basically, I'm cooked. And on the second slide, above the words, I'm cooked, it's a text message from an unsaved number, and it says, Okay, so I have this crazy feeling I'm not the only girl you're seeing right now, so I'm texting you off a new number. What's my name? Oh fuck, yeah. Oh gosh, yeah, girls. Write this down. Write this down, write this down, and the comments are like, I like her.

unknown 37:52

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_03 37:54

You, my friend, have just taught us ladies something quite brilliant today. Oh now, this is a good idea. And then someone put, well, what's her name? Fuck, that's clever. And then the last one is what did we learn, Aaron? Because that's his name. Don't fuck around, otherwise you'll find out. So, girls, if you're if you're really trying to push the boat out and be bold and try and find out if this man is texting anyone else, um please send that message and get and get a live reaction. Aren't there Facebook pages for Are We Dating the Same Guy? Yes. That's iconic. That's so good. I'd love to have a little scrub. That's actually amazing. Talk about women banning together and building a community. Honestly. What the fucker borders? They mean nothing. I also have one more TikTok that I want to show you. Like a blind react to you have to walk. Oh my gosh. Okay, I'll put it on the screen as well. Okay, so click that one. Have you seen that? Should I ruffle you? Should I turn it up? It's pre-maxxed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 39:08

This might ruffle some feathers, but all identical twins should be children. Whenever I see a set of adult identical twins, I just think still?

SPEAKER_01 39:19

I know that I know that this isn't true, but it feels like a phase that they should have grown out of. Grow up, like be your own person for once. Oh my god. This might ruffle some feathers, but all I Oh still.

SPEAKER_03 39:30

Oh my god, Lydia, no. I saw so Jack and Ash also spoke about this on their podcast. Didn't they? And I I saw a comment and it said, Yeah, being a twin is so embarrassing. Oh I just saw listen, that is so fucking rude. It's embarrassing. Yeah, we're embarrassing. That's so rude. I mean, we don't wear the same fucking thing. Do you know what I mean? We are not identical though, to technically, does it not apply to us? Oh my god. There's nothing that is triggering some childhood insecurity. Embarrassing. This my girl was like still. What do you mean? Still still. You don't grow out of it. You don't get you don't like look the same when you're born and then you grow out of it. Yeah. This is a done deal. I'd rather be a twin than a toxic single child. Yeah. Thank you very much. We know how to share. Yeah. Sharing scaring. Yeah. People are scared to communicate how they feel to you, babes. To who me? No, single children. No. Only children. Um, okay, let's move on to the next section. So we've brought back the to you remember where. Yeah. Because it was so funny. It was so funny. The story of us like rigging the school raffles absolutely. Oh my god. We had to explain ourselves to our mother literally the day after, and she was like, it's all coming out. And apparently she had an inclination that it was rigged at the time, but like never said anything. She knows her daughters. Do you want to go first? We might have to be quick fire because we've sort of left this to the end of the app. We have, and I'm pretty sure my laptop is gonna die, so I don't know how much. So like five minutes, four minutes, so each quick fire, yeah, quick fire. Okay, uh fucking hell. Oh god. Do you remember when one of our closest friends found out I was gonna be dumped before I was actually dumped?

unknown 41:36

I can't believe you brought that up.

SPEAKER_03 41:39

Oh my god! This will stay in the long form. Oh my Lydia, this will be an iconic short. Do you remember that? You are so right. Listen, tell a story. Please do this. I know you're a man. Him and I we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend. We were seeing each other. He was older than me. I was still in school, right? So that's red flag number one. Two this man picked up my friend from her house because they lived close together. I was on like the other side of our town, and he told her that he wasn't feeling me, and then drove her. Now I'm reliving this again, it's crazy. Drove her to the mall. We call it a mall in Paphos, guys. I know it's like a shopping centre here in England, but anyway, drove us to go shopping. I think we were grabbing a coffee or whatever, and she tells me, girl, it's not it's not looking good. He's just told me da da da. And I'm like, fuck. I'm seeing him and his family later on tonight. Get to where we're going later on in the evening, it's still in the back of my head, and he literally ends it whilst I'm with his family, and then he leaves me there and then goes home. And my friend knew before me. Yeah, that weren't right. Weren't right. Listen, I was like, how old was I as well? I was like 16. Yeah, no, it weren't right. Poor 16-year-old Lydia. Can I speak fre- Can I speak freely? Speak freely. I don't give a shit. What fuck around and find out? That is pick me behaviour. Pick me behaviour. What are you doing? That was one of the very many 13th reasons while we are no longer friend with the friends with this person. No. And I'm gonna keep it 100. This person had probably moved on and grown and changed. However, those things don't change. No. And if if you're looking at it so matter of fact, that was so wrong on so many levels. Yeah. I've never claimed to be perfect. However, that was fucked. Imagine your best friend catches wind of that. You then proceed to get in a car with them, go on a joyride, act like they're your best mate, go home, meet up with us, then Tell us like the pick me entitlement. I'm sorry, you get you got a kick out of that. Yeah. You got a kick out of it. And this is the same girl. Can I speak Free? Yeah. Who then put that boy in a room with your new boyfriend and was out in a coffee shop and was like, oh yeah, um, well, so and so's here with so and so. Yeah, do you remember that? Sat at home. I was fuming. What's wrong with you? Fuming. Absolutely. I don't want wild behaviour. Literally, I don't want this ex situationship anywhere near my new man. Yeah. Anywhere near me. She's just sat in a coffee shop. I don't want them talking or interacting. That's odd. Weird behaviour. Why would you want your exes to chat? I don't want you to make nice. He was an arsehole. And then when I saw this ex literally, was it last Christmas or the Christmas before? Yeah. I was like, yeah, it was the right person, wrong time. Fuck off. Fuck off. I was you were meant to dump me so I could find someone who treated me way better. Way better. It's just why I don't know what went through that person. I just couldn't believe that just made no sense. Before? I know. And why are you confiding my best friend about me? Well, why that is the right question? Why? No, no, no. He doesn't, he's not in the wrong, right? He is a little bit wrong. Well, absolutely. But listen. He shouldn't have been picking her up and turning it. Why did he feel he could? Right. We're deep diving. Do you see? Why did he feel he could? Because you have no idea what Miss Thing is like behind closed doors and sat in the passenger seat of that convertible with your boyfriend at the time. Craziness, man. Right? That is the right fucking question. Craziness. Wow, I love that. Okay. My one. Go on, girl. Uh do you remember when I fell down the stairs at that house party? And your belt popped off. Guys, I've never been so mortified in my life. In my life. Can I just say, I went to this house party. Worst party ever, can I just say? Okay, I don't know how much I can. We're not gonna listen to this. Can I just say this? Emma, at this point, you might as well. Alright, so I went to this house party with basically the sister of like my ex-boyfriend, right? And we were very close, and basically we didn't want the friendship to end. So we would still go out, whatever. I felt physically sick going to this party. I was like, Lydia, you're gonna have to come with me because I really want to go. And I part of me was like, oh, you just want to stay relevant, and he was gonna be there, and anyway. That's a story on my lips house for a few years from now, and I cannot wait to overshare about that. However, anyway, we're at this party, I'm upstairs, and I've got like this all black outfit on, thigh high boots, these stiletto booties on. But at that point, the corset was trending, right? And I had one on and it was like Velcro at the back. Anyway, I'm walking down the stairs. Key Velcro at the back. Velcro at the back. I did not lace. Oh, did not lace. Which is so rot. I think it was on fucking AliExpress or something. Anyway, I'm walking, I'm walking down the stairs. And I I knew it was gonna go wrong. I knew. And I so it was at the corner, like it was like a right, so it was going down and then it was on the turning. And I was still on the part like the where the surface area was getting the smallest, and I put my foot there, my foot goes right, my finger gets trapped in the railings, but I'm still sliding down. So now my finger's stuck, but I'm not falling to the bottom of the stairs. So I've had to pull myself back up, release my finger. I go down the stairs, stand up, corset pops open, everyone's gone. Because we're in a predominantly Greek household. Help me, help me, laugh, laugh. No one laughed. Laugh, no one laughed. Everyone, it looked like I died. Like I could hear a pendrum. I picked up, no, I ran outside and went, Lydia, come and pick up my belt. I went, come and pick up my belt. I was outside and I was like, I am so fucking embarrassed. I remember being stirred. I I grabbed that this party was boring as shit. It was so bad. So I just ate. So there was this box of um Pizza Wink Street like selection, right? There were four different flavours. I remember eating this, I was like, eating my food. I said, Lydia, grab my belt! I was like, okay, I went inside. I was so mortified, and me and you were like the only English girls there, full of cyprits. And at that point, it they were like village cyprits, like school, like the Mody Gore school kids, like village school kids, and they did not fuck with us, no one spoke to us, and I fell down the fucking stairs. They're like these fucking crazy English girls, and my exes there stood there. Yeah. Grab my belt. I went, grab my fucking belt. I was fucking fuming. I was fucking fuming. Yeah, we left shortly after that. Emma now would never Emma back then would absolutely love the baddie I've come become today. Advice for any young listeners. If you're not invited to the party, don't go. Yeah. You can come if you want, don't go. Even adulthood. Don't don't look for the invite. Because you end up going and fuck you don't want to be there. It's the universe telling me, you silly bitch. No one wants you here. Knocked my feet from right on me. Maybe she'll learn. And I did. Oh girl. Go on, watch it on it. What's your name? Um I just don't think you're my next one's gonna top that. Go on. Do you remember when Athena reported me a missing person? Oh, that's so good. We're like, I just moved to England, right? And it was my first time getting the train from up north back down south. I missed my train one, right? So I had to get on the next one. Got on the next one, didn't realise I couldn't just get on the next one, right? Ticket man comes around. He went, that was for the service previously. £100 fine, please, you have to pay right now. £100 now! We have to get off. And it was that train from I think it runs from ticket people. I've said it before, but I just have to say it again. Fucking fuck you. Um, like I'm literally, I was like 19 at that point. I'd never travelled like a long distance to my own. And it was it's that train to Houston, and there was a fire at some station along the way. So they were trying to tell us all to get off and go. So if you get off here, you do this, you do that. Right. Now I can do that. As an 18-year-old girl, I was like, I've got to get off here. Yeah, yeah. Where? And get on what? So I get off, phone dies. I think I got on, I got off the train, got on another train, got to MK, right? Walked outside the front of the station, find a lovely man who went, Do you need help? I was like, Yes, sir, I do. Oh bless you. At this point, I couldn't tell anyone what I was doing or where I was going. I got this, I couldn't remember anyone's numbers at this point as well, because I'd just moved to England and your numbers are long. I didn't know anybody's phone number. So I DM'd Emma on Instagram. I want to see if I can find the message. And I think I don't know what I said. I don't know why I messaged you. I should have just messaged Athena because I was going to Athena. Anyway, I was like two hours late and Athena rang the police. She went, yeah, my sister's not here. She's at the point I was blonde. She was like, she's blonde. I think she got white trainers on jeans. They were like, okay, if she's not back in du-da, like, we're gonna put um like a missing person thing out. Anyway, she sees me trekking up the road with a two suitcases. She comes running downstairs. She was like, Oh my god. I was like, Athena, I had to get on a bus. I got on a bus from Milton Keynes at like 11 o'clock at night. I'm pretty sure there was a guy next- I'll I'll beep this out. There was a guy next to me, pretty sure he was snorting coke off his sleeve. He went like that. He was like put he had a surface and he was trying to put something on his sleeve and he was sniffing something. Oh my god. And I'm sat with my two suitcases, and I was like, I have a rough idea of where I'm going. And Athena at the time lived next to like a Nando's.

SPEAKER_04 52:58

Oh right.

SPEAKER_03 52:59

And I remember coming over this bridge and seeing the Nando's. I was like, I know where I am. Oh bless you, that's scary. And I was reporting a missing person for like an hour or two. Athena broke down crying, I swear, when she saw you. Yeah, because at that point she was like our our our guardian. Yeah, and you and I'd just give her the fright of her fucking life. You were so new to like that as your surroundings. Yeah, it's wild. Imagine someone giving a description of what you were wearing. Literally, that's crazy. Um, okay, my one. Uh do you remember when I was running through the train station and flashed someone? Why do all of your dare went have you something you either fall in your belt came off, dip popped out? My body parts are flying out. So that was really recent. Oh, it was so recent. Like I actually the next day, you know, when you're reliving past events and you're honestly the ground to ground for the anyway, uh swallow me up event. Um, so we're running to get the train to go back out home, right? From just being in London for our friend's birthday, and it was my mission to go get the drinks for the train. Yeah. So I went into MS. I got like, God, the MS tinnies, lethal. Lethal girls. Oh god, what's the that one that we had? Oh, the margarita is awful. But it's strong. They're very strong. It's just very strong. The palomas are lovely. Yeah. Palomas are really nice. That other tinnies, they're 10 out of 10. If you need them for a little prees, they're perfect. I think the margarita one, that's not good. I mean, if you like margaritas, you'll like them. But it's like, it's got a massive tahis in flavour, but it like floods your senses. It's so intense, it fucks you up after two. It's not your first drink, maybe. It's like Yeah. I mean, I had three of those on the way to a preze, and I felt absolutely fine. The margarita ones. Yeah, I've had them before. Well, Lydia doesn't like them. I the palomas are nice. The palomas are good. Anyway, went into MS, got three. We're running to platform one in King's Crossing, no, that is right in St. Pangras. Full stretch, yeah. Full stretch, running through. I've gone, everyone else get on the train, right? Because I do this all the fucking time. Yeah. I know how many minutes I've got, I know I can make it anyway. I've ran um to MS. I've only got like three, and then Athena's gone, no, we need more. So I've gone up the escalators and I've gone, guys, go through. I've got my ticket. I've got like four minutes until the train departs. I'm like, I'm good. Going to WH Smith. WH Smith does buzzballs, you know. I walked in, I went, You've got any buzzballs? He went, yeah, love at the back. Really? So yeah, they've got buzzballs. So I went, got three, tapped for those, went, you lot are screaming, Emma Run. And I'm like, I've got two minutes. I've got two minutes, and I'm literally outside the Greg's. I'm gonna make I knew I was gonna make it. Anyway, I wore no bra, no tit tape, girls. I had the cuckoo off the shoulder, like lycra two-piece set. It's giving Sandy from Greece, and usually I put something there, something for the girls to rest on. Yeah. I did not, and the top flapped down one after the other, and I could not get the top up. It was down for so long that actually when I started jogging, I saw them visibly outside of the top flop up and down. Right? And then a man saw me and went, oi-oi! Right? But he was stood right there, Lydia. It wasn't even like it was at a distance. It wasn't even at a distance. He I looked down and looked at him, and I'm trying to get my top. I had to turn around because I couldn't do it quick enough. I've got buzzballs and tinnies in my hands. It's so funny, but shame on him. How many of us this man is awful? But do you know what? I'm not that scarred by it. Still he knew you were struggling and you turned to win around. I know. If I saw a man's penis flopping about when he was running, I wouldn't go, oof. I'd be like, ah mew! Yeah.

unknown 57:12

Meow.

SPEAKER_03 57:13

I wouldn't. Oh my god, I wouldn't put it away. Put it away. It's ugly. I mean, would you laugh maybe? But like, I don't know. Point and laugh. Honestly. And then I got on the train and I went, Lydia, you're not gonna fucking believe what happened. And I was like, I didn't need to run. We were sucked on the train for at least another 90 seconds. I knew I had time. And I was like, guys, get on the fucking train. I'm gonna make it. Well, I was thinking about sorry, I was thinking about Athena. Oh. Because she was if it was up to her, she wouldn't have even gone on. And she was like, Emma, where's my ticket? I was like, fucking hell. I've gone back for her. I'm like, there it is, babes. She was like, where's the return? I went, right there. Anyway, so that happened, which is great. I would love to see the surveillance. Mad. So we've got being dumped and not realising you're gonna be dumped, your tit popped out, falling down, I was a missing person and you fell downstairs. It just it makes you funnier, people guys. It makes you stronger. If you don't, if this segment doesn't teach you anything, let it be. It's good to laugh at yourself sometimes. And if it's not funny in the moment, it will be a little bit later. What a beautiful way to do that. Emma's not quite laughing about the tip popping out, but still, we've still got time. Yeah.
