Men, I feel like they just want to be treated like a baby. They want to be just picked up and carried and the minute they leave the warm they're like how wills me?
Speaker 2:What is one law you would change or bring in if you could? It's the Boozy Blonde's podcast, melissa and Simone, available on Spotify, apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, let's get Boozy. Hi, I'm Melissa, hi, I'm Simone. Our podcast is serving you. Bestie vibes.
Speaker 1:We are just two country girls chatting about all things we struggle with daily life.
Speaker 2:And, of course, talking about certain issues that some people are afraid to speak about. We give it to you real, while having crack along the way. Remember, these are just our opinions, girls, so don't take us too seriously. We're just giving you some best friend advice. I feel like I should be in a Jane Fonda video. Am I here a problem?
Speaker 1:You look amazing. For a girl that's not feeling the best at the moment, you look great, thanks gal.
Speaker 2:So we're coming up to Valentine's Day and we have a very little special guest next week, which we won't spoil it yet, but it's going to be fun.
Speaker 1:It would be very fun. I'm excited and I cannot wait for the questions and the answers that will be asked.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:For the episode, because I'm just like buzzing, yeah, buzzing.
Speaker 2:So, speaking about Valentine's Day, we went, I went on a little date night the other night. It was very nice, very last minute, but it's like it's actually very important though, isn't it to like make time for date nights, you know, even though, like, I wasn't, because obviously I wasn't feeling great, but I tried to push through, as you know. But yeah, it was just. It's nice to kind of, because sometimes you can't get in a row and you're like, oh, not bothered doing anything. You know, I know.
Speaker 1:And especially when, like, you're constantly on the go working to do stuff like that and then you kind of forget about, like, the little things in life, don't you Like the nice little getaways or the date nights and just a nice little meal with real communication.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it, like proper, actually sitting down and like engaging with someone, because I feel like life just gets in the way and you're like hi, bye, see ya, bye, it's mad. Speaking of love, have you? Haven't been watching no Violent, have you no?
Speaker 1:I've been watching it on TikTok and I literally am obsessed. I'm like I wish I could. But do you know what the good thing about TikTok is? They show you the best parts. Yeah, they do. Do you know what I mean? So I'm still I have it all kind of figured out. What's going on? To be honest, georgia is wrecking my head.
Speaker 2:If you looked up like narcissist in the dictionary, you would get Georgia's deal. I'm sorry. I'm just saying how it is Pure, like I'm actually to be baffled by some people Like I don't know how she's doing it, though I will be marked by Well she doesn't realize she's doing it. That's the scary thing. Like she, wow, wow, wow, wow. It blows my mind looking at these people who are so self obsessed, like the gaslighting, the manipulation, what.
Speaker 1:It's crazy, I know. Like it actually baffles me, though, because how does she not realize that she's hurting other people? And I'm sorry, but there's just no way. I feel like she's just, she's an attention seeker, like I don't I don't know if I'm the only person or you're the probably same as Melissa but to have that much attention, even off of men, and think that it's okay and like wrap them all up in like a love hectic on, like it's not even a triangle, it's like what is actually going on. She has like this spell over them. And then it's the girls in Villa that I feel sorry for, and especially Molly, like she literally breaks my heart.
Speaker 2:I love Molly. Molly is like she's, she's, but you can see the maturity difference between the two. Oh, yeah. She just holds herself like, so well, like, and just, even when she challenged her, I was like yes, girl, you got this.
Speaker 1:Like she's like the queen of the villa at the moment, like how down to earth she is, how much respect she has for herself. And even Callum, like I'm just like I don't want them to get back together. I put my hands up and say I do.
Speaker 2:I do and I don't. I feel like that she wanted to get back together. Maybe I feel like she's very hurt and I feel like her guard is up. Um, I just don't think. I think she was expecting that maybe he would try a bit harder. He didn't.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I feel like we're all going to be a bit like oh, I feel like they're going to get back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so. I don't think she, I don't think she's really into Tom, like I think she likes them. Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see if they get back together. But yeah, it just it baffles me with Georgia. So I don't know, she's just, she baffles me, I just I In one way I kind of felt sorry for her because she's so narcissistic that she has no idea what she's doing. It's all me. Did you see the clip? And I was, like it's always like what you grateful for? I'm grateful for my long natural hair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like.
Speaker 2:And my lovely eyes I took. What Are you not grateful for? Your family and your health?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you're right, like I, just genuinely, I think some people are so away with the birds.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like it's not even okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm into the real world Like do you know what? She's a very good actor, Actress.
Speaker 2:That's something, and so is it put on, or is it? Is it like a game tactic? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, because there's no way someone can that be self-absorbent, like they just can't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's hard to know. So, simone, I've seen there's like really bad weather over there at the moment. As bunkers, you have purple hands.
Speaker 1:Like my mum was like she's like Simone, you're really bad circulation as it is anyway. You're definitely just getting ill or something. And then everyone, because I was going to the hairdresser's and I was freezing on the way Like I was like what the hell is going on? This is just not normal. Like the AC hasn't been on in my apartment in I don't know how long, I actually genuinely feel like the word is a factor, because how can it be this cold, like the breeze would literally caught you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you're not used to it as well. Now you see, do you know what I mean? No, Like.
Speaker 1:I know it's January, it's winter here, but I've got like Jesus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but winter, there is not like a winter here, do you know?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, but I'm not down for it. Just one thing I do know is I did not sign up for this.
Speaker 2:You'd be quite raging if you had like a week's holiday booked for Dubai this week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like now. The only thing I will say is it's not raining, but like if I did pay to come over here in January, I would cry. Yeah, I would actually cry, and there's nothing worse than going on a holiday, I know, and you can sit out and enjoy the weather.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just like. It was like why did I waste so much money?
Speaker 1:It's just like yeah, I know, but I'm just like we're actually never happy. Like, remember, I had the podcast in the summer and I was like I can't go outside. I'm sweating, it's chill, I know, but like there's just no like happy medium. No, we're always complaining over something anyway, aren't we? Yeah, we're. Always it comes to the weather anyway, because we're Irish, let's be real, yeah.
Speaker 2:I had this like weird, do you know like where you feel you get like a reach of point. You're like am I old? Like have I hit like that old and like person right? So like explain the situation. So, first of all went to McDonald's the other day.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And first of all the whole red sauce thing like two sashes of red sauce, but that's not the moral of the story, right? So these people pulled in beside us in the car and one the girl got out and there was like a young lad in the car right Me and Keith's face. He literally blared the music right in the middle of the Kenny like McDonald's car park, right, I mean, keith, like for a second we were like, is that radio on? Like, because it was so loud that like there was vibrations coming through our car. Right, it keeps like out of my radio. Come on.
Speaker 2:And then I realized it was your man beside me. We had like his hood pulled up and was like literally like vibing in the car. He definitely thought he was Stormzy. I was like what is he doing? Is he trying to be cool, like? And at first I thought it was like a young lad, but then I realized I actually think it was like a 20 year old, which meant even worse. I was like what the hell? And I actually thought it was his mother to get out of the car. But it wasn't. It must have been his girlfriend, right? So she came back and I was like, sure to God now, like he's going to turn down the music. The two of them are just like sitting in the car with this loud music, like just weren't even eating McDonald's. I'm like what are you doing? How can you hear each other? How are you having a conversation? Yeah, do you?
Speaker 1:know what? I think that's the biggest ick. Isn't it an ick as a kid? We're old, you're not old, believe me, it's not an old thing.
Speaker 2:I think it's the biggest ick of all times, and for me I feel like it was like him trying to impress her.
Speaker 1:Definitely we're on like a first date. He wasn't even driving.
Speaker 2:It was like it was her mother's car. So like, what did they do? It's like we went to grow up and blare the music in the car. Like I'm shocked, like God is like, and he had his hood open.
Speaker 1:He's like oh, it's actually. It's so weird and I don't know about you, Melissa, but like, do you know, when you're like you're looking at that, you're getting embarrassed for it.
Speaker 2:You can't think. You're like oh my God, do people think that's our car? We need to drive off right now? Because obviously it was like do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:Like what are you doing?
Speaker 2:They're a rave in the car. Yeah, the granny is there with the stick. Yeah, Like I was like this is like I just don't get what goes to your head, but I would have conversations with each other because I hear each other. And like you clearly don't look like Stormzy, Like do you know what I mean? You're not cool. Yeah, you're vibing in the like car park in McDonald's, Like grow up Seriously like it is.
Speaker 1:I just think it's an echo. Men find it cooler when they rev their car on like vomit.
Speaker 2:Like what is going on, like just go home.
Speaker 1:You're not old, don't worry. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:I'm off the list. I am not old, so on this week's juicy, dummy, jammy daughter dilemma, we have a different kind of it to let me in today. So hi, I love your podcast and I'm writing in as I would like some help. I hope you don't think I'm too young, but I don't have anyone to ask for advice. I'm in school and I'm 14. All my friends are into hanging around with boys and they look more mature than me. I don't like talking to boys as my friends are all into kissing them and I feel like I'm not ready. They're also doing other things and I'm also so embarrassed. I have no boobs and my friends have big boobs, which the boys always comment on. I feel so insecure and ugly. I keep making excuses not to be up with my friends as I don't want to hang around with them boys. My friends are getting annoyed at me and I've started hearing me. I don't want to have no friends. Can you help me? Is this normal?
Speaker 1:I feel a crime. No, I actually am. Yeah, no, why am I crying Like, oh my god, that's so sad. Oh, it's actually like it just brings back so many memories. I'm like I actually feel like I want to start bowling.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh, my god, the poor girl. It's just the fact it was like, is this normal?
Speaker 1:I just it all yeah it just reminds me like so much of my younger self. Yeah. I don't know about you, but yeah it's just really just.
Speaker 2:it's sad because I just think anyone who was obviously our age can relate back to being like 14, like even 12 to 16. Like it's a really hard time and I think it's like a massive conf, like you're so confused at that time and like you don't know who you are. You're trying to fit in with the norm, but it's not the norm. So first of all, number one girl, don't worry, let you know boobs. Here's your sister. I can relate to you. I can relate to you because I've often went, I've often felt like this and I still feel like this sometimes. But it will get easier. Like you will grow to like accept your body and everyone is different. And lads at that age are a little twats and I'm sorry but they are. They're just not mature and they will figure in themselves.
Speaker 1:So there's a lot of figuring out like do you know what it is? And it's only when you get older you realize it's all. How will I explain it? It's all fake confidence. Yeah, so, just because you think that your friends, both guys and girls, are so confident and they're so into mingling and it looks so natural, well, realistically, they go home at night as well, because at the end of the day, you're all teenagers. You're all kind of in this weird bubble at the minute. You don't know whether you're coming or going, and I know it sounds really weird. Yeah, it's just how you grow as a person and, like, there's always going to be some girl or a couple of girls that are always going to be that a bit mature in other ways. It's just how they are. It's called streetwise yeah, that's the word, isn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, or streetwise yeah, there's a reason why, like your, don't change your personality or don't change yourself to fit in or be like others, because the time will come when you will figure it all out and you'll realize. This is why this was the way I was supposed to be and, like a lot of girls, are named sticks with you forever. So just be very mindful of that Sometimes, if your friends are out and there are a lot of guys that are, no matter what age you're, my grandfather always said this A name with stick with you for the rest of your life. So be very careful the routes you take.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:From a teenager to an adult, because once you have that name, it never leaves People. Don't forget whether it's sleeping around, whether it's been a nasty person yeah, it's been a bully.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That name will always stay. So just be true to yourself and keep shining.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you have to remember is that, like lads even though, like they can be little swats they are going through the growth phase as well, so they're they're trying to like look cool in front of their friends and they're trying to like they could be getting jeered because they're not doing this as well with girls, or so everyone's not even the same boat. But my only advice to you is, I think, if you can try, have a conversation with your friends and just say that you feel uncomfortable around them and can you please, like you know, not be jeering me in front of them or forcing me into things I don't want to do. If they're good friends, they will say okay and accept it, and if they're bad friends, you might have to walk away from the situation and find people that are more like, minded like you, yeah, but like, please do not feel ugly. You are beautiful and it's.
Speaker 2:It's just, it's heartbreaking, like when a girl feels like that at that age because it can't carry on like into their 20s, like, do you know what I mean If they don't get the support that they need? But you are beautiful and you are strong and this. You're going to look back in this as an experience, and even in your later years in life, you might always find that there is girls that are going to be jeering you. So just think of it as like a learning experience and and just be strong, and you will come at the other end of it. Oh, I feel sad now. Anyway, if you have any more stories or dilemmas, make sure you email them to us, or you can DM us as well.
Speaker 1:So this week's topic of the week we have how to run a first date. So we have a list and the list goes on. What would be your top major two things that could ever run a first date? Melissa?
Speaker 2:I think someone that is just totally obsessed with themselves it was like a massive red flag and or someone is just not engaging, like engaging in conversation, like not interested in what anyone else's? Stories, like you know. I mean, it's just not a good listener. I think that's my major Now obviously I can take a more of what, like they're two main ones. What would yours be?
Speaker 1:So mine is if they're on their phone a lot, if they're like you said, like if they're not engaging, if they're just not interested because that's showing no interest right away. If they're on their phone and then someone that's just like really rude, like or not even rude in a way. But the other way lads are like arrogant and cocky. They're like do you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know they just go around as if, like they're the biggest news, like sure, yeah, and it's like you're human, like being the most person we're in our feminine energy. Because you know what I mean. Well, there's a list here, okay. So it's if they interrupt you while talking, yes, if they're constantly like very over empowering, won't listen to what you're saying, whatever when they're on the phone. I said that if they are no at all, this is a major, major. I just I can't. It's like no matter what you do or no matter what you say, they're always right like.
Speaker 2:I think every one of us knows someone like that. You know, like you could say Something was black, they'd say no, that's why you could say that's ready. They'd be like no, that's pink, it's like their own. No matter what you do, say or think is right, it's like their opinion, their way, and that actually is a massive even as I don't be friends with anyone like that.
Speaker 1:That's just I know I can't do it. Oh, I actually can't do it. There's one here. Okay, it's like a little bit of A dilemma is like I wrote it in okay, so this girl says I had lunch with someone who called the table son sodium chloride and use the bread as a way to tell me everything he knew about complex Carbohydrates no, which wasn't correct and their connections to evolutionary theory.
Speaker 1:Just felt like he was compensating for something. Stop. So we had like a proper argument with her at the table. Help to not call it table salt, that's.
Speaker 2:I would. I would even like, even if there was no starters I'd be gone. I would like sorry, I just don't think this like, what mental, like so to just go around like calling everything like by Plantific terms, it's just, it's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 1:I guess some people are very high intelligent and I'm not knocking that book. Yeah, second table thought, deal with it.
Speaker 2:Table thought what would you like on your fish and chips? And I'd like some sodium chloride please.
Speaker 1:No, I would die. I get up and leave. I was like genuine. So number four is if they get excessively drunk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're not wrong yeah like yeah, I'm not. You drunk like up singing and dancing like yeah, no, it's not the one like you want you want a man to look after you, not feel around. Yeah, exactly, want a man to be able to bring you home safely.
Speaker 1:I do feel like some men that were just yeah ridiculous. I think yeah, like. So number five if they start a discussion about money.
Speaker 2:So in what way?
Speaker 1:now, what context like about how much money they make, or in a like stingy way as being like Tied in general, like, just Like ask and shoot questions to a woman how much money she makes and how she can say financially stable herself. Yeah, I don't think money dependent women.
Speaker 2:I don't think money should be brought up like anyway on a first day, like Shun and I, just I think it's too deep, like I think.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, like I just don't think that would be a topic that I bring up, that I just already met.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like you're not gonna really enjoy that conversation. Are you something like you're an interview? Yeah, exactly. That's exactly how it would feel it's not gonna be good crap talking about money. No like yeah, no, no.
Speaker 1:So someone says I was on a date, first time meeting. No, sorry, it wasn't a date, but it was my first time meeting my current guard friends friends, okay the ones. First question to me was so what do you do for a living and how much do you make? I've never forgotten it and haven't cared for her since that moment. Where's to me? And the girl and I still together, obviously, but I just can't connect with her friend. On that level I think it's rude, so rude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like so rude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just. That's like me sitting down having a conversation. Do you want kids? I can't keep.
Speaker 2:Show me your pay slip there, kate. Is that like? I need to make sure you're making enough money there from Melissa? Sorry, what?
Speaker 1:do you know what I mean? Like people are actually gone, I swear.
Speaker 2:Mental, though that's just too. I wonder if she just act type of person like she just thinks before she speaks. I don't know, you know.
Speaker 1:This is one If being rude is their way of flirting.
Speaker 2:But then there's, I just feel it. If that is the case, it's someone who's just lacks emotional sarcasm, though I think in that sense. Why don't know a sarcasm and rude or different, I don't know, melissa.
Speaker 1:I feel like they blend in on a very high spectrum. Yeah, when people are like so sarcastic, it does come across rude if you don't know them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you don't know them, I think you have to get to know to someone, like get to know someone and know, like if they are actually a nice person. But they're just a bit sarcastic, but it can come across rude, but then I just think if someone is like rude to you, it's not really flirt, though Maybe it is, maybe it is more sarcasm. Actually may think about it. I Wouldn't like that, though. I don't want someone to be like sarcastically flirting with me, like Just gonna give me, like I'm gonna be confused, like might do they like me? Do you hate me? Like what's going on?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so under the Irish pillow says. One guy a match with on Tinder asked me for my snapchat and when I gave it to him he said oh, I don't want it, I'm not attracted, would want to go on a date or anything Discussing like that. He was trying to flirt. It was an instant turn off, not here to be insulted or put down. Why is he being so rude? Just isn't cute.
Speaker 2:Why are you reading that? I was like, okay, it's not interesting, or. But then I was like he's interested in her.
Speaker 1:I'm really confused, like it's like he's like oh, who do you think you are? Like? She's working herself up, like, or whatever, and then he's just knocking her back down. I don't understand why they need to do that. It's so weird. This is the last one right you send a questionnaire before you meet.
Speaker 2:What would someone actually do that like?
Speaker 1:I Don't know. I was once set up to go on a blind date with oh no, it's a guy. Actually, this is interesting. I was more interested, right gone. I was once set up to go on a blind date with this girl. We're giving each other's email addresses, so I have. So I hit her up, we exchange a few, a few pleasantries, Then set up a date and time and finally met the day of I gave. I get an email from her in the morning with an attachment. I open it up and there is a questionnaire with like 25 to 30 questions on it. She requested I kindly fill out the questionnaire before we meet. I quickly reviewed the questions before sending her a reply saying that was probably best read it and meet. I don't know what she embodies. It was a big tea in the break, oh like. Oh, there is no way in the hell I would send somebody a questionnaire.
Speaker 2:But she clearly has some sort of like controller. Psychological issues like.
Speaker 1:No, lisa, that's nuts.
Speaker 2:Like what kind of even questions would you ask on that like yeah, no. Like do you know what I mean? That's fucking mental. Yeah, isn't that?
Speaker 1:If I've gone in the hedge, I swear, I think.
Speaker 2:Do you know what other thing for me is? Someone with like bad table manners.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we said this before, don't we?
Speaker 2:Yeah, or someone that like eats like a slob Like you know what I mean or like makes noises on the eater. I know that's probably just a me issue, but like oh, no you know, like if they're just messy when they're eating, like.
Speaker 1:I'm just so down for like if you are gone for a stay and if they're picking you up, they open the car door. When you're sitting down to the meal, then pull the chair out for you. Like it's the little things and the table manners and obviously if they're real to a waiter from the get go.
Speaker 2:It should no go from the get go, and I think as well. I don't know depends on what the order to eat. As well, I feel like judge them.
Speaker 1:Come on, my mum, I don't know. I feel like what's turning you off? What food's turning you off?
Speaker 2:I just feel, if they're like just a weird, we're eating, so some Just a weird like fussy eater, like just being difficult, do you know what I mean? You know like asking them for like, oh, can I have this, but without this, this and this, like this kind of shit you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is, it is, I don't know. It is an egg. Yeah like I'm, just like. I'm the type of person, though, I always look at the menu before I go to a place. Oh my God, I asked someone to talk to it.
Speaker 2:I was talking with this on my TikTok yesterday. I actually do the same like because I like to know what I'm getting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I need to know if there's going to be someone that's so. I'm not going to be a difficult person sitting there after me yeah, it's not happening right now.
Speaker 2:You know, I'm not talking about people like fussy, acting during. I'm just talking about people who are just like mothered, Do you know?
Speaker 1:I feel like men are just. I feel like they just want to be treated like a baby. They want to be just picked up and carried for the rest of their days and, like the minute they leave the womb, they're like how old is me?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just need another woman. Yeah, they do. They just want someone to nurture them, like you know, I mean it's. I don't think that's ever going to change, though Is it like realistically, you know?
Speaker 1:Anyway, it is going to be Valentine's, so I'm going to be having a Gallantines.
Speaker 2:Yeah, gallantines. Gallantines, though, is, are nearly better than Valentine's. So anyone that has no man, don't worry, treat yourself to a Gallantines, exactly Gallantines.
Speaker 1:You think I'm going to have a.
Speaker 2:Gallantines. Yeah, that'd be lovely, That'd be nice. So we have our big hat of mystery. If you're having copped on to the other two episodes, we have this new big boozy being cat random topics in it. That means someone do not know what they are and we're going to pick them out, pick one out and have a little chat about for a few minutes. So let's see what this week's one is. Give it to me, okay. What is one law you would change or bring in if you could?
Speaker 1:Ooh.
Speaker 2:That's one I need to think about for a minute. Oh no, that is too early for this One law. Oh, that is, that is hard.
Speaker 1:That is hard, isn't it? Equal rights, how people are treated, slavery is still going on and it can see it right in front of my eyes over here. Yeah, I'm really weird when it comes to this. I'm such a person with high respect for everyone that matters with me. If it's a taxi man, if it's a bin man, a fireman, I don't care who you are. We wouldn't have a clean place and I wouldn't be able to put out our fire, nor would I be able to get to my job without the taxi man. Yeah, and I feel like this is probably going to get deep. No, go on.
Speaker 1:But I feel like in this day and age, we're in 2024, and what's going on in the world just kind of scares me how we're meant to believe and put like a blindfold over our eyes on a day to day basis, because slavery is still going on, people's wage, the hours people are working, like taxi men work, what, what, like 13 hours and over here and they're getting tips for it to get me, and it's probably the same everywhere and it's just.
Speaker 1:I just think if I could change one thing I know how the word works, like they have to be three stages, like I get it. But if I could change one thing, I'd want us all to be equal, all be earning the same, all to be happy, healthy, like, and no one being thirsty for water or being starving or being like, harassed and like in a war, in a country where it just, I don't know, I'm getting too deep. No, you're not. I want to be the topic because I know there's things that we might be taken down for Might be similar, but it'd be your respect to women, right?
Speaker 2:So I think obviously any man that touches a woman should get the deputy.
Speaker 2:Yes, so I feel like in the problem that we're having at the moment is that it's some cultures are still a lot far behind than us as how they treat women, especially like out in different countries.
Speaker 2:And I'm not saying it doesn't happen in the UK and Ireland, of course it does, but I've seen it myself of how their perspective on women is so downgraded. They think they can sleep as many as they want, they can think they can rape them, think they can do whatever the fuck they wanted them, and it is mostly in those like third world countries as well, and I just wish that there was a law that, like anyone that does that, like you said someone, when everyone's equal, why do you think it's worse out in some cultures as well? Do you know what I mean? Like I've seen it myself and working in different places where men from other countries have come in and the way they speak to women, because they're used to speaking to women like that where obviously the Irish and English people like wouldn't accept it. They'd be like hold on now, who do you think you're speaking to, but women in their country.
Speaker 1:They're so used to it and it's actually very sad, so yeah, and sad to the fact that women think it's okay as well in them countries.
Speaker 2:But isn't it crazy how, like, different cultures are just so different? Like mad, isn't it? Yeah, very as well. Like I don't know, but that would be mine. It'd be that no man can touch. It's the same, but a bit of a twist. Yeah, so no man can touch they hand on a woman and if they do, they're getting the debt penalty.
Speaker 1:They just want a better road for everyone. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, nice kind world.
Speaker 1:Nice, kind, loving, caring, happy, healthy work.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it. That's it, simone, you said it well. Well, that was our Mr Heart of the Week. That was a bit of a deeper one, which we probably could talk for another hour.
Speaker 1:We could keep going, we'd never ship it off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, go on. So for our little game of the week, we have come shopping with us. I'm going to show Simone three photos. So number one, Simone. We have this beautiful antique clock. How much do you think this little clock is?
Speaker 1:If it's antique. I'm kind of like small though isn't it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's small enough, isn't it? I'd say 120 euros. Oh, it's actually a 35 euro. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:It reminds me of that song what's that nursery?
Speaker 2:Nursery, the nursery song I can't think of the song so.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I don't want you to be singing weird nursery songs, singing weird nursery songs.
Speaker 2:What is she on about? Right next up we have a vintage suitcase. It's only gone up this morning. So big bargain from Dundalk, goundie Loud. How much do you think that lovely antique suitcase is? It definitely looks like something from like. Looks like something from the pirates of the Caribbean, yeah, from the Titanic. I was going to say 50 quid, 25 euro.
Speaker 1:Jesus, there's bargains upon bargains on Dundalk.
Speaker 2:There was bargains now just morning on Dundee. So Right next up we have this replica tin typewriter, also from Dundalk. I think it actually could be from the same person. They must be having a clear out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like you're here.
Speaker 2:What do you think that is Definitely like I haven't. That's definitely from Beck and like 60s 30. Simone, let me do my drum roll. Yay, 30 euros, 30 euro. I'm proud of myself. I'm a dumb girl. You're probably freeing yourself on a new typewriter.
Speaker 1:I must have been a little writer back in the day In my last past life.
Speaker 2:Your last past life. Bring that into work with you now, when you're going to all your social media content.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, imagine. When I look at stuff like that, I'm like it's data from the bottom.
Speaker 2:Now I hit it's data from the bottom. Now I hit it's data.
Speaker 1:How the hell. Like when I think of my nanny and stuff like that. She was an accountant and I remember saying to me I used to have me a typewriter. How did you use that thing? But I still remember I think it was in primary school and in one of like the rooms, in our music room, we had like Typewriter.
Speaker 2:It was still there.
Speaker 1:I can still like it's like a confiler.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm nearly like. I think maybe from primary school. I remember our secretary like use them one maybe, but like it was like not as old school as that, but like yeah, it was still a typewriter. Do you know what I mean? It was more modern, you personally?
Speaker 1:also, though, don't they yeah?
Speaker 2:I'm not sure. I'm too lazy. Yeah, that was our little game of the week.
