Speaker 2:I do get a kick out of it.
Speaker 1:I really do. I'm a stats guy, so, yeah, much appreciated, and so we might as well dive into the topic this week. This, this episode, is structured really around us just being able to have a little bit of a rant. You know, we haven't done, we haven't done any research for this episode, it's just purely things that it's just a fun one, isn't it?
Speaker 2:it's it, it's a top three.
Speaker 1:It's a little bit fun focus on things that we really don't like, which you know, I'm fuelled by hate, so this works for me. This is lovely once again top three. I had 20, so I've had to really rein this in and I literally have struggled.
Speaker 2:We set this in Jake. He's like Charlotte, you've really got to think about this.
Speaker 1:I'm not okay, gave you two weeks.
Speaker 2:I was really like, come on, and it was so weird because I was struggling, I went to jack gbt and I'm like nah, they're just crap yeah I woke up one morning and it came to me the first thing. I opened my eyes and then they came to me.
Speaker 1:I was like, oh, you woke up, I must have been dreaming about it? What's pissing me off today? I am interested to see what yours are, because I get. I mine are. Mine are pretty niche, but um you first.
Speaker 2:I want to hear yours okay, what are we? Actually doing? First of all, the top three we are doing the top three.
Speaker 1:Well, our top three, I think unpopular opinions, things I think most people enjoy that I don't. And then I think that's what you've gone for.
Speaker 2:I've just gone from popular opinions okay, you go first no, you go first. Okay, I'll go first. No, you go first.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'll go first. You go first. I'll have a cup of tea while you go. Okay, I love that. In the edit Family portraits, you know, those ones where you go down to a studio.
Speaker 2:I know you and my sister did it. Oh no, that was cool. Sure it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that looked great and it's good for the portfolio. But when you go into someone's house and it's got like the three, you know pictures across the lounge and it's like the kids look cute. But why are the dad's feet out like? Why am I seeing him like lounging across like a shag rug and the kids are all sat on him? They always look so cheesy and posed because obviously they are and it just doesn't capture any amount of like the family. It's just all very like. You know full well the kids didn't want to be there and it just doesn't, it just gives-.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's like a normal picture. No, yeah, because right, okay, everyone's there taking pictures, everyone's hugging, everyone's smiling.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I hate them as well, as soon as that picture goes on the phone, everyone separates and it's like come on.
Speaker 2:Then I'm like, oh, that was a little. Look at us happy right now yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1:That's it, or everything is. Everyone's having a good time, there's loads of pictures being taken, loads of candids, and then someone goes alright, let's get a picture everyone then acts a. I thought you were a good old poser I thought you were like a hand on hip type pop it out. I've got that on display in our logo photos can make people awkward, and so it shows in the face and you're stiff in your body as well and everything is just unnatural.
Speaker 1:And then you have to look at them and they're also immediately dated. Because, let's face it, the kids hair is going to change, it's just. It just gives me a little bit of to change, it's gonna, it's just. Yeah, it just gives me a little bit of like the uh, I mean, there's certain, if it's just the kids and I because I don't want to- shit on local small photographers and stuff like that it's nice for the kids to grow up and have these pictures yeah, but put them in an album.
Speaker 1:An album's fine, you don't have to put them on display I.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's even what you want to look.
Speaker 1:I don't know yeah, I get it. You've.
Speaker 2:You've forked out a lot because they're expensive, I know I'm sorry for anyone who's spent a lot of money on their pictures. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry. You did that too. That's a bad financial decision. Um, because you've got a phone you know phones you can take cracking photos. Go get some candies, have your kids run around in the field and just bam, bam, bam I don't get why people spend so much money when you can DIY it it's crazy that it still exists really, but some people are. There, are just like magic people that are magic with a camera and that's fine yeah, those newborn baby pictures, when they're all screwed up into a little boy yeah, that's.
Speaker 2:I don't like them either, to be honest oh no, I think they're quite cute, because let's no but 99% of newborn babies are not cute, so well, I think they're cute.
Speaker 1:So little testicle babies. They're all wrinkly and horrible yeah they're just, they're ugly. Their eyes aren't open, their fingers are all you know. They're like little vampire things.
Speaker 2:I like them.
Speaker 1:I think they're cute remember those jelly aliens used to get from the shop.
Speaker 2:I used to love those. Yeah, that's what a newborn baby looks like. And you say, if you stick them together, they'll have babies it never happens, so you would buy two bastards.
Speaker 1:It's cracking marketing, cracking marketing. But yeah, that's if I go to someone's house and I feel you don't see it as much anymore. It's a dying art. You don't see? I don't.
Speaker 2:We don't have family portraits up in ours I do think they're nice to capture and to keep they are, but keep them to yourself yeah that's, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think a lot of people would agree.
Speaker 2:I don't think I would. I like them when they're natural out in. Yeah, I could pop a photography, go out into a field taking family pictures sure, naturally I'm out in the field down at the park yeah, candid but the ones that are in white back screen that's it.
Speaker 1:You've all got your white tops on. It's clinical. Yeah, what is this? Are you in a cult?
Speaker 2:oh, god it gives me the ick, it's just so.
Speaker 1:90s yeah, why is the dad's feet out? That's what I'm saying like what is it?
Speaker 2:oh god, yeah, it's big ruckly, yeah, or?
Speaker 1:if you're gonna do it you commit to like the full, like 80s vibe going to make a titty yourself. Might as well make it fun, but these ones where it's like dead serious and you just know I can't the kids have been laden with snacks, making sure you, just, you just smile for the.
Speaker 1:Do you know how much this is costing? You just smile for this picture and the kids like, and you can see they've recently been crying. All of mine from when I'm a kid because I used to hate having my picture taken still not a mass fan of it. You can see that I've just been crying all of think I'm in one with you actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably Just been crying. You're probably wearing your yellow Derby County shirt. That is my most vivid memory. Thanks for that. Whenever I think back of you, you know, when you're younger, you're wearing the yellow Derby County shirt. You lived in that thing.
Speaker 2:Because that's all I had to wear.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Christ, I'm joking, it's not even that bad.
Speaker 1:Jesus, I'm joking, michael, but yeah, that's my first one. Anyway, it's just a little softball one, you know, nothing too crazy.
Speaker 2:Right, okay, my number one Carbs do not make you fat. Yeah, I. Carbs do not make you fat. Yeah, I think that's just science, isn't it? No, because people can't eat carbs on a diet. Fucking get some pizza down your face, you can still lose some weight.
Speaker 1:You can't because you just got to keep in your couch. I think the the problem is with carbs is that they're so easy to digest. You can just people don't. People don't think they lose weight with carbohydrates. It's because when you open up a pack of carbohydrates, you open up a pack of crisps. You can just woof them and they're gone.
Speaker 2:No, I'm on the bat potatoes pasta pizza.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah. When I did Slimming World, it always used to be like you could have unlimited pasta.
Speaker 2:I mean which is fucking nuts but, like people, used to lose weight on it that tonight because I made myself some pasta, because I've done the same world in the past, yeah, and I went back for my second portion. I was like, oh, that pasta was so good, I need some more.
Speaker 1:You're like it's free on a green day exactly in my head.
Speaker 2:I was like this is free on similar world it's all those things?
Speaker 1:I'm not. If it was a red day, it'll be 27 sins.
Speaker 2:Yeah christ, it's etched in my brain but yeah, carbs do not make you fat.
Speaker 1:Enjoy your carbs, kids yeah, enjoy it, because you know you live once. Just keep it under control well, that's it, that's it, it's. It's like have fun in moderation. It's like drinking moderation, carbon moderation it's like sometimes gambling moderation.
Speaker 2:If I'm running low on my calories, I'll go to the co-op, get a pizza. Cut it in half. I've got a pizza for dinner and it's still like within three you're only having half. Wow, it's like 600 calories for a whole one that's not too bad for a pizza, actually.
Speaker 1:So what's the little britain thing?
Speaker 2:where it's like a woman. We don't get 10 000 calories allowance a day we only get 2 500, you get 2 000 how?
Speaker 1:much that is.
Speaker 2:That's 2 500 calories yeah, you can have a dominoes every day yeah, but you'd feel like absolute shy.
Speaker 1:That is the thing yeah, it's not it's not the carbs that get you with the dominoes. Everything else is in it, it's just. It's everything together you'll be done.
Speaker 2:Before you get hungry, I'm gonna start craving one.
Speaker 1:Well, if you're cutting, your cutting your pizza in half. That's mad. It's half the calories, so you can have twice as much. Yeah, I think most people do, especially when, whenever people are like jumping into a hardcore diet, they always go right.
Speaker 2:No, it's no carbs for a month right salad no carbs, no carbs, no carbs.
Speaker 1:That's like always the main thing. Any like gym rat on instagram. It's like cut the carbs, cut the carbs I lose weight.
Speaker 1:I could I lose weight on mashed potato, because you fell up right yeah if I'm I think it's longevity with it like if I'm chomping on lettuce and lettuce and lettuce and I've got like a few little walnuts in there to keep me, keep, yeah, I'm just going to give up very quickly and then go to something shitty yeah. Whereas if you have something a bit more substantial, like some potatoes, like mash a sweet potato up, you know, you've seen the one where you can mash a sweet potato up and mix it with something else and you can make pancakes, you know, do that Lovely stuff. I'll send you the recipe.
Speaker 2:Sweet potato pancakes.
Speaker 1:People swear by them, yeah yeah, there are, there are ways around it. But yeah, people, it's a panic. People straight away are like yeah, card fat, just count your cards.
Speaker 2:Count your calories. What goes in? Give it a count. You've got your food diary. What's your second one?
Speaker 1:oh shit, oh, it's food related, so we'll keep running with it is this a food podcast? Yeah, sure, don't make changes at restaurants. Don't say, oh, I'll have the. Yeah, I know I am the worst at doing this.
Speaker 2:I'll go to the waiter. I don't know what to go for. What should I have? He'll be like oh, this is really nice, I'll go for the opposite. I do it all the time. Why.
Speaker 1:I don't mean to.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Why are you like this? I don't know. He's put himself out and you've gone.
Speaker 2:no thanks, and then he comes back and I'm like I think I've changed my mind and this doesn't happen all the time.
Speaker 1:No, no. But what? No, no.
Speaker 2:I the burrito, but could you take out the cilantro?
Speaker 1:cilantro was it called coriander.
Speaker 2:You want the cheese out the cheeseburger? Yeah, yeah, I get that?
Speaker 1:no, but these things have been obviously okay. Mcdonald's you know that's, that's fast food, whatever. You know, chuck a bit of extra cheese on, take cheese off, you want whatever. But like if you go to a restaurant that's known for a certain dish and it's known for something on, and they, they've got a chef back there who's very well trained, knows what they're doing, knows how flavour profiles work, and you go yeah, no, can you make all the changes that I want to make to this dish and fuck it up, please? They've made it, they're making it that way for a reason and you're going no, I like it this way. Grow up, have it the way that the restaurant have done it that way, they way they want. They know that's because a lot of times those people that will make the changes they'll complain about the food they've had. Yeah, you've made the changes.
Speaker 2:You know you've ruined it yeah, but tonight I had to make pasta following the recipe and it had capers in do what you want at home different story.
Speaker 1:Have a little bit of fun, thanks for that. Have a bit of flair in the kitchen. That's fine. Bish, bash, bosh and all that lot. Brie was actually telling me about this guy. He was doing doing a bit on TikTok and he was um, he's cooking, cooking away and he's making um, he's putting something like chicken in the pan or whatever, yeah, and he's got the baby on his shoulder. He's being one of those like pick me dads, like, oh, grow up, put the baby in the bouncer and cook. He twat Um, and so she goes Like he's got the chicken, but he wants to have a little bit of carbohydrates, whoa. So he then puts in a pasta and Brie went to me. She went, you won't believe what pasta he put in and I was like well, you go for it. What pasta do you reckon he put in? It's a vile choice of pasta.
Speaker 2:It's not like it's on me.
Speaker 1:You know when you're in a classroom and people used to teach you Okay, like a shape of pasta, so spaghetti. What was it in? It was going in like a chicken thing, like a chicken brothy thing that he was putting together, I don't know, like a chicken pasta. He was making a chicken pasta. What pasta did he use? He's lobbing this pasta into a pan.
Speaker 2:Was it the one that looks like a cracker?
Speaker 1:No, I think I know, but it's not that that's like the weirdest pasta. You no and then you eat like macaroni. Is it just normal, normal pasta, like penne, penne, yeah, no, Penne needs to leave it's boring.
Speaker 2:Keep going. Oh no, it wasn't the pasta one, was it?
Speaker 1:No ravioli, yeah no. Oh, ravioli would be fine with chicken. They have ravioli and chicken, it's absolutely fine. No fat spaghetti. No, what lasagna sheets? Just start crunch snapping lasagna sheets and fucking lobbing them in the dish. That's not pasta. I was like you, cretin. He shouldn't have a child that's not pasta lasagna's pasta.
Speaker 1:Lasagna sheets are pasta. Okay, alright then, but that's mental, though, because I said debris, I was like it can't be that crazy and then, when you said it, I was like what a fucking weirdo. No, not on, but anyway, where am I going from? Make the change at home. Have a bit of flair. Don't put lasagna sheets like that. That's weird. Yeah, layer it, but in a restaurant they've made it that way. I wouldn't go to gordon ramsay's restaurant and make some changes to the beef wellington, you know, and be like oh, can you not put the mushroom around the edge of the wellington?
Speaker 2:thanks, yeah, but some people don't like mushrooms, don't order it then. I'm with you guys.
Speaker 1:I'm fighting for you Don't order it. Order something without the mushrooms in. Order something that you like. Crazy idea, not, I would like this if I made seven changes, then it's not that dish anymore.
Speaker 2:I mean. It's hard for me to say because I don't tend to do that.
Speaker 1:That's good. I don't say, oh, don't put that.
Speaker 2:No, you just If ever there's cheese, I'm like oh, just dash a little bit. It's just cheese on that, will you? And they're like yeah, no problem, always extra cheese.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, dashing some, but do you try it first before you put the extra cheese on?
Speaker 2:Oh no, I put more cheese on.
Speaker 1:Oh you cretin, Ah it's. Can never have too much cheese, you can always you can have too much.
Speaker 2:You can, you can.
Speaker 1:No, you can ask for more on the side, and then you can have a little huh, no, no, no, you can have too much cheese, absolutely you can have too much cheese well, I do a poll on this you can.
Speaker 1:I remember over summer holidays hollywood used to make cheese toasters in in the microwave, which is already a big no, because that's not right. And what you would do is she'd get two slices of white no wonder I was a fat kid two slices of white bread and she would cut cheese that was about the same thickness as the white bread lob. That in the microwave.
Speaker 1:Just whack it on high for a minute and it would like the edges of the cheese would melt, but it still wouldn't be melted in the middle and it would be soggy on the bottom and we would fucking lap them up all summer well, you loved it I think it was more of a like we had to have them because we didn't know holly couldn't cook anything else and we're like well, I guess that's what we're having and we should have, yes, soggy bottom cheese toasties all summer long, wondering why I needed a new pair of trousers when I got back to school. Yeah, but yeah, that's too much cheese yeah, when it starts to get a bit chalky and claggy. No, thank you.
Speaker 2:All right, but.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying respect, chefs, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, respect them.
Speaker 1:I know I was disrespecting photographers in the last one, but respect chefs. Yeah, yeah, all right. What's your next one?
Speaker 2:Next one is dogs shouldn't be stigmatized as being pets. Should not happen.
Speaker 1:Dogs are pets.
Speaker 2:Right, it's an outdated belief.
Speaker 1:It's a fact. It is an outdated belief. Okay, dogs went from being feral wolves to being trained dogs and you know domesticated dogs and animals.
Speaker 2:And we used to be monkeys.
Speaker 1:Not really.
Speaker 2:Apes and whatever you want to call them, gorillas, no. No, that was like a different version of us you can't say one thing wrong for one and wrong for the other.
Speaker 1:So the evolution of us into Homo sapiens through all that Homo erectus and all that that's the only one I remember, for obvious reasons is not the same as dogs being taught to live inside and not eat people. That's it. It's a pet, that's it, that's all.
Speaker 2:It's a pet, it's a pet. She's not a pet, it's an outdated belief.
Speaker 1:What is she then?
Speaker 2:She is a dog.
Speaker 1:Which is a.
Speaker 2:Dog.
Speaker 1:A dog. Okay, what's a cat?
Speaker 2:I'm just saying it's an outdated belief.
Speaker 1:It's not a belief, it's a fact.
Speaker 2:People treat them as, and it's just not right.
Speaker 1:It's just like saying like I'm sick of chairs being classed as furniture. Chair's a chair.
Speaker 2:Seat's a seat no, it's not fine.
Speaker 1:I'm sick of it being bundled in with furniture. Table's furniture fine, but chairs no.
Speaker 2:Pairs are so much more like now. You get sick leave for dogs being or animal cats.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2:No, it's not.
Speaker 1:Absolutely is.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Maybe take a day of holiday. If you've got to take them to the vet, fine.
Speaker 2:But that's just dependence, right? I'm going to have to take a week off. She needs to be able to come on a plane with me. People need to allow her in, even John Lewis. Let dogs in now.
Speaker 1:Why.
Speaker 2:Because they're like. Maisie feels like a part of me, just chopped off. She's not attached to my body, but she genuinely feels like a part of me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sure, because you're dependent and she is. You know you love her. You will always feel that she's a part of you, sure?
Speaker 2:However, there's no however to it. There's plenty of however. There is not Okay you?
Speaker 1:are you an attentive dog owner? Yes, you're taking Maisie into John Lewis, right? Yeah is she pooing all over the floor? No, is she jumping up on the sofas and getting in the toys? And no, getting in kids faces. No, fine, you're one of them. Of the hundreds of people that are now allowed into John Lewis with their dogs, ten of them will be good dog owners. The rest of them will be wankers and their dogs will be all because most dog owners are twats. With their dogs they get.
Speaker 2:Oh, don't worry he doesn't bite and he's fucking. Some parents are twats with their kids.
Speaker 1:Oh don't worry, that's my next one so come on, it happens no, it will link into what my next opinion is.
Speaker 2:But dog to dog, dog to animal, I do feel like they should be allowed to many more places. They should be allowed on planes. No, they should be allowed in more hotel rooms. They should be allowed in more restaurants. They should be allowed in more shops.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I went to Italy Get this. It was incredible.
Speaker 1:No way.
Speaker 2:They had dog trollies. So you go to Sainsbury's or somewhere like that and they have a dog trolley and I didn't realise because I put all my food in where the dog sits and everyone was like no, no, no, get it out, because the dog sits there.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I was like bloody hell. They have dog trolleys so your dog can sit in there and they have a bit on the bottom where your food goes and you take them around the shop.
Speaker 1:Well, that's because it's more of like a pedestrian nature, right? So you're walking out with your dog and then no, there's. I can't dogs on planes, no why they are such a huge part of people's lives now, yeah, and they can be at the life at home and they can be at the life at the place they're allowed to go to. They can have a great life at the dog park. I don't want a dog at the park. I don't want a dog at the park.
Speaker 2:I mean I think we've heard this one before.
Speaker 1:Who can blind? Children first of all, and parents, and then dog owners are neglectful, not picking up shit, literally, yeah, kids are walking around with it, picking up, putting it in their eyes, and I've got a deal because some animal was allowed inside the park.
Speaker 2:Maisie's actually upset. Now she's jumped off the sofa.
Speaker 1:It's alright, mais yeah, but she's now getting her own back because she's fucking scratching on the edit. But no, there's got to be separate places for these things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like no See.
Speaker 1:See this, you hear this, you hearing this?
Speaker 2:Of course they can't.
Speaker 1:Day where dogs aren't allowed to be in the fucking podcast studio.
Speaker 2:You sound like an old Victorian when kids weren't allowed to talk in the room where they had to be quiet.
Speaker 1:Children should be seen and not heard. Yeah, people strive to have their kids seen and not heard. That's why they fucking shove an iPad in front of their face.
Speaker 2:I don't agree with that either. That's exactly what they want.
Speaker 1:If the Victorians had iPads, they would have been strapped to their face, wow.
Speaker 2:They would have been like shut up or get. Should be allowed more places. No, yes, and do you know what they will do? Give it 15 years and it'll become a norm based on what?
Speaker 1:based on you? I'm going to use this platform with this podcast. Meanwhile, I'm on the other side of it.
Speaker 2:Be like no but yeah, that's my second one well, mine's, and I stand by that I, I okay based on the fact that I.
Speaker 1:Okay, you're a great dog owner. Perfect dog owner would be really good in shared spaces. But just like people who've got kids and can't look after them and don't um watch them when they're in shared spaces, I'm the same thing. My thing should be you should be able to tell people's kids off oh no, I don't like that yep no the amount of time you are angry man, you, because when you've got an old angry man.
Speaker 1:You go to soft no, not angrily, I'm not saying like you absolutely. Go at them and be like oh you, little bitch you little shit, yeah, but some people might Well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1:And then they get pulled to one side and be like come on, Because, like off to one side. And then the mum came through with her kid, was like guiding her through, and the daughter was like not in the way, could have easily stepped around her, zhuzhed her with a foot, Like basically kicked this kid out of the way. And the mum was like what the fuck am I seeing? Like taken aback by the fact that she's seen someone tow her child out of the way and was like can you not do that? And this mum went the fuck off. She went fucking crazy about it.
Speaker 1:But I'm saying the other way, when I see these kids let loose in the soft play and the mums and dads are fine, they're sat having a coffee but, these kids are being absolute bastards, like they're lobbing shit, they're kicking kids and the parents are doing nothing.
Speaker 1:Have you seen the show the Slap? I know you haven't, and I don't think anyone really did. I think everyone watched the first episode and then stopped. I don't want to go that far, but the the premise of the slap is that it's at a family barbecue, yeah, and this kid's being a little twat yeah and the parents are doing close to fuck, all about stopping it right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the kid at one point picks up a cricket bat right and starts just swinging it wildly. And let's face it, even if you're not that strong, you swing a cricket bat, another kid's head. You're going to do some damage, yeah.
Speaker 2:So the you should be able to say, as an adult pack, that in yeah you should be able to.
Speaker 1:No, you do that. People like don't talk to my kid like that. I did it a soft play. David lloyd and a parent had a go at me and I went well, he just kicked my kid, so I'm obviously going to say something. He goes. No, he didn't. I didn't even see. I was like, yeah, because you were on your phone, you weren't looking. I tell you what it's wild. Other kids anyway, so the slap.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The kid's swinging and the kid and hits the kid Right. Too far, too far on the hit. However, the parents should have been in there fucking way before.
Speaker 2:I mean it's more the parents' responsibility.
Speaker 1:It's 100% the parents' responsibility, the parents' issue is with the parents. Absolutely Sort your kids out.
Speaker 2:Sort your parents out.
Speaker 1:However, when you haven't got time. Whose knobhead kid is this? Oh, probably those two knobheads over there. Let me work it out in the meantime. Oi, stop that. You're being a dick. Don't have to say that, but I, I did it. I, you know. I've called the police on kids before. They're just they're running amok. No, what? No kid is being told enough these days that they're twats. No kid is being told enough that they shouldn't be doing what they're doing. And it needs it's gonna have to be. It used to take a village right and that whole thing is like. It takes a village of like, nurturing and kindness. It also used to take a village of people to be like. Your kid's been a dick. You need to sort it out yeah, of course sort them out of course, yeah that's it.
Speaker 1:That's why because people are like oh, you can't, you can't say no to kids these days, don't say no.
Speaker 2:So gentle parenting fuck no, you've got to say no you've got to say no, they've been naughty. I have people saying no to me sometimes.
Speaker 1:Cooper's got an absolute missile of an arm on him. It's dangerous how well he can throw and he's targeted. So there's a shit ton of no's going his way. As soon as he gets a block in his hand and he's playing, then all he has to do is cock that back and he can fucking launch it across a room. He'll take an eye out. So it's like no, grab it off him, gone, done. Okay, that's it. Tell your kids off.
Speaker 2:All right, Tell your kids off everyone.
Speaker 1:Tell your kids off. Your kids aren't as well behaved as you think they are Right. My keep this quick. Sorry, I rambled about that because I thought.
Speaker 2:I thought going in do you want a stress ball? Do you need like?
Speaker 1:no, it's fine.
Speaker 2:Okay, go and do it after this, I'll be alright my last one is don't get into a relationship because you love someone.
Speaker 2:No, if you love someone, don't get into a relationship so I'll call Brie after this and be like Charlotte said it's done basically, what I'm saying is you've got to have more than love to get into a relationship oh, absolutely you can't just because you go on a few dates and then you find out you've fallen in love, and then it's like you can't just because you go on a few dates and then you find out you're falling in love and then it's like you can't just do that Because one you've got to have the same sort of lifestyle.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Because, for instance, if I've got a lifestyle where I like to travel and get out and about do good things, it takes money and I can't afford to pay for two people.
Speaker 1:Oh, you don't want any broke boys coming your way. Yeah but I won't be able to cope with it in my life. My life would be okay, okay, yeah, not just about money, but it's about everything.
Speaker 2:Isn't it like different um? What's it called? Political opinions not so much about that. You can have a little bit of an argument about who you should support and stuff.
Speaker 1:But values, morals, it's all whatever because it's all going to come up. It's all going to come up, it's like yeah your morals everything you could love someone, but you want.
Speaker 2:You want to have kids as well well, that's true, people do love pricks, even if you love someone and it's not right, just you've got to have the whole. Thing you could want.
Speaker 1:Kids of you is going to have to renege on that, and you know yeah, absolutely so that was my number three yeah, and and also you know looks and stuff like people like go infatuated people, looks will fade and it's you've got to like the person that's there afterwards you know yeah yeah, um, yeah, I know, at first you absolutely frazzled my head it takes, it takes more than love, because love isn't always enduring either.
Speaker 1:You've got there's love, but if it's, if it's in, if it's downwind of all this other shit that's being rained on and it's being battered by it, is it going to survive really? Absolutely not no also there's six billion seven billion people in the world, you've got to make sure people match your life in every single aspect.
Speaker 2:I know it's hard to do a hundred percent, but they've got to match where you're at Absolutely or, be better, 100%.
Speaker 1:And it takes work. Yeah, but anyway, that was mine no at first it completely put me through a loop, but I get it. It takes more than love to have a relationship. Yeah, cool.
Speaker 2:And that is our bonus.
Speaker 1:If you phrase it that way, I might have not been fucking.
Speaker 2:It's not a bonus, it's a mini episode. That's it done.
Speaker 1:That was our mini and it's got me more irate than it should have and yeah, thanks for listening thanks for listening. Give us five stars, give us a follow on Instagram.
