Love you guys . Guys, we've got Georgia Haboo back on the podcast again. Hi guys, thanks for having me. By the way, I need to clear something up from last time because I actually have read Ak ata . And you were sh you were shame. You know, not for me. Not for me. I did well, it wasn't really I only read book one. Everyone was like, you need to read book two and three. It's only just getting started. Only book two is really long. My friend Mills is reading it. She was like, there's no sex in it until the very end. And it's just yearning for too long. Yeah. Book one, I'm pretty sure they only have sex once as well, and it's about this thick. But is there a lot of build-up and a lot of tension? There is, but I mean to me it's like beauty and the beast slash Oh god Um Fifty Shades are Great. Sorry, so the men the men are all like beastie. Yeah. Beastie fairies. I'm not sure about that. Do they have wings as well? They do some of them have wings and some some are like half animal. It's it is that it wasn't for me. Yeah, it is a bit narni-esque actually. Interesting . It was a bit too yarn yet. It's like, oh my god, just have sex. And also like But then that does ruin it, because then you won't read anymore. Do you know what? I put it on my stories at the time and I was like, I read this book, What's a hype? Like, it's pretty average writing, pretty average stor y. Sorry. God, I bet you had a lot of connoisseurs. Um and like I literally probably had like a hundred DMs people being like, you have like you're just getting started. That this is the worst book of them all. You have to read book two and three. So that's why I bought book two but haven't opened it yet. It I guess it is all down to like what you kind of like in books, because I know I would not like crime. Yeah. You might like it. I it kinda sounds like I would. Also you don't you could it'd be quite good as an audio books. It's not like like really you have to really listen if you like was zoned out for a bit. Fine, you can zone back in. I'm just imagining a gruffolo with fairy rings there and I'm like, it's just not sexy. All I could picture. It kind of is. It's this tiny tinkerbell lady and then a gruffalo with ferret with wings on him and then like It's also like some like hunger games esque element to it at one point. It's like it's there's a lot going on. Hybrid of everything. I guess it's given the imagination . Yeah. Maybe. Next holiday. Yeah. When is the next holiday? Going to Ibetha, Sophie and Jamie in February. Although we you know that's so like hard to pin down. So they changed the date. So I was like, I'm not gonna book the flights till they book it, because I just felt like they could change it any moment, which we already have changed it. So I was waiting for them and I kept being like, when are your flights? What flights are you booking? Obviously, they never apply. Then last week I'm like, guys, we need to booked flights and like we booked them ages ago anyway they but lovely BA flies and we were on jet too because they ran out. Fuck that's so annoying. I know. Now summer's approaching, maybe I'll get into it. Sit by the pool. Yeah, I'm not the type of person that's gonna sit in bed and read. Oh yeah, I only read books on holiday. What if Bells is on holiday with you? Can you yeah I used to literally be able to read like in a week's holiday I'd read like four books and now I read like a third of a book on a whole impressive to be fair. Yeah on in her nap on like speed reading. When she sleeps. How many times does she sleep in the day? Just once now. That's devastating. And all the naps go on. I know. I saw the clip of Sophie and Jamie talking about how many hours a baby sleeps a day. That's crazy, I'm honest. But they were like Ziggy sleeps like twenty-two hours a day. And I was like, compared to normal babies which sleep fifteen. I was like, what? Yeah, Ziggy's actually oh actually he's not a good sleeper at the moment. They're really going through it. So happy. I'm not gonna lie, I actually told Barry because when we went to Soho Farmhouse them a couple weeks ago, they were like, yeah, Ziggy sleeps through. Like they were going literally Jamie was going, Guys, I actually think about you all the time and I feel so bad for you like you because we obviously our baby still doesn't sleep through. And um anyway the still wakes up. Well last time she woke up like three times. But she does sometimes but mostly once a night she wakes up. No, we do we actually have a rough. But um we were like, yeah yeah, lucky you well done, you're four month old sleeping through so good for you and then um the other day I said to Barry went oh yeah Ziggy's been up every half an hour for the last few days four months regression and I swear to god Barry the glee in his face and I was like don't be so happy about it. And he was like , sorry . I would be the same though. I'd be like, how have you turned up this lucky with this baby? It's so annoying. But I guess they do go up and down, up and down, right? The thing the thor four month progression is meant to be the worst one, that's what they're having. That's what ha that's the thing. Yeah. We never actually had a regression 'cause she never got good. At least she's consistent. We like her for that better. Um yeah, and they're they're really going through the sleep at the moment. Really bad. That's so upset me a bit. I mean people listening, the joy and out children's eyes right now. They're really easy. No, I actually do feel really bad because I know the feeling and it's hellish and but they sent me like Sophie sent me the best picture I've ever seen. It's like a screen the nanit um monitor's like really high over the bed so you can see a lot of room and you can see Ziggy asleep in his cart and then on the floor next to them. Sof and Jamie are both sleeping on the floor. I'm dead. Both curled up with a T-Vin. I am asked on . I'll show you. So you just move the the baby to their room because um I think they they have tried to but some like Bella won't sleep in our room either she'll own just she'll like want me to be in her room with her but if I take her in she's like no you see get used to an environment no I can't have I cannot cute, but it's so cute, but also like not looking forward to that stage in my life. Yeah, no, it's quite the baby part's so cute, the sleep part really freaks me out. Whoever comes on this podcast has got a baby, I'm like so tell me about the sleep. And is it all bad? It's all good. It does freak me out, slightly. Anyway how was your birthday? Oh yeah, it was really good then. Well actually I had food poisoning. Oh yeah, you couldn't out. I saw that on your Instagram. I was like, oh no. So I had a girl's dinner panel. Why is she doing it this week instead? Do you know what? I just had a day to myself and I had like a haircut and I had a massage. Hair's looking lovely. Thank you. And then in fact Barry left work early, we went just for a little stroll. It was lovely. Just but having a date yourself is actually so nice. Yeah. Like with no plans other than treats. Who had Bella? Anani. It was like on a weekday. Oh my god. So but the day off work. That is so nice. You feel guilt free as bad about us too. Yeah. But the day off work, just true to myself. It was lovely. Oh lovely. And a a bit of like pampering, like a haircut . Yeah. And also, how long does it take to cut your hair? Does not that long. This is a blow dryer. It takes ages. I haven't washed my hair in a week now and it's so greasy, but I've got this really amazing dry shampoo called Faith in Nature. It's the same one that does like that beef tallow cream, if you've seen that on health. It's like a powder, and it's kind of like a bit of a high- I would say it's like 90% dry shampoo, 10%. Do you remember that like got to be powder that we put in our roots to make it go like that? I say it's like 10% that so like you get a bit of volume too but it really gets rid of all the grease and I think it's like non-toxic vibes because it's not a little bit also if it's from health. Yeah. Really good. I know. So I'm just milking this. But I do find like towards the end, like these shorter bits go a bit like spiky. They don't well, this is my first time in years getting short bits and it's actually a bit of an effort having to style them. It is for me. Yeah, fair. I never get any because I got really badly scarred from a really bad haircut years ago. Do you remember? No. I I had I I went in to just get these sort of shorter bits and they cut it as high as my eyebrows and it's genuinely back to my ear. Oh my god, maybe I do remember that. It was really bad. Bit of an Emily Ratikowski situation. No, it was like illegal. Like I went back to the hairdresser and was like, What have you done? And they were like, We are so sorry. They were like mortified. Took me literally like six months to go back. So and I've never had short of it since I've been so terrified. No, I'm not surprised. Is it well did you not see Emily Rat had that weird haircut like that? No, I didn't. It was li it was horrendous and she went on Jimmy Fallon and she was like, I've had the worst haircut. Oh, so she hated it. It wasn't a style choice. No, she put it all over her like TikTok. And also, when is that sure? You can't because I went to nothing you can do to where does Soph get her haircut? Paul Eggmonds. I went to Paul Eggman's after my really bad haircut and was like, Can you fix it? And they were like, No, it's sh it's sure. You just got away. Like you just gotta grow out. I had to have like wear my hair in grips. Grips, that's what um Emily did. Yeah. Not me just pretending like we're mates. She told me that's what she did. Harry Styles is engaged. Have you seen that? Yes. I can't believe it. Why do celebrities can someone tell me why celebrities get engaged so quick? No, there's anything wrong with it. If it works out, then that's f fantastic. But how why is it such a running theme? I think it's 'cause they're so rich. I actually feel like and that's why celebrities get married and divorced so m much more easily. 'Cause like such a financial impact. One, it's so like so expensive to buy rape, it's such a financial impact to get divorced for like normal people. But if you're slept to you, who doesn't matter? If you lose for you million and you're divorced. Yeah, but I do I do just think that because but maybe also they're a bit older now, maybe they're just like yeah, how old is I think she's a little bit older than him, am I right? He's in his thirties, right? Yeah. I think she's older than that. She's gone for a younger man. But not too much. How long ago was she engaged to Channing Tatum. Oh my god, I forgot they were engaged. They were engaged and honestly I feel like it was last year. You're right. So he posted off his story, this like a cryptic poem. I saw that and I thought it was fake. I thought surely he's not done that. Poor child. Yeah, she's like twenty, which is a bit not sure. Don't love that. Um but I just thought really that's so embarrassing. That's like I don't know He's just being open about how he feels. And men men are encouraged to do that. So I think that's scary. Excuse me. I always think that about people. You know, when someone's like in like a long term relationship and then like one of their friends ends up getting with their ex and they have a problem with it, I'm like , Pretty weird actually. Because you shouldn't care about that anymore. You've really gotta hold that in. If Toby started to kick up a bus about his ex being engaged, Yeah. Sorry. You'd be like, what's going on here? I'd be like that's a dumbbell offence actually because you care enough to like be upset over that. That means you still love them. Yeah. Poor Chanel. I'm not surprised. Zoe Kravitz is just a cat. So cool. She is a catch. Her and Harry Stars are a really sick couple. They're really cool. I like it. They spend a lot of time in London, too. Well yeah. Where do they live? In London. He does roam these streets quite a bit. I've seen Harry Styles in real life three times up and down this road. He used to go to BXR. Oh yeah, I remember Sophie telling me she's And then I would leave the studio and walk back up that way and he walked past me on the we were the only two people on the pavement. And it happened twice. And he like looked up and like smiled and had to be really good looking in real life . I think he's gorgeous, but I don't think he's the best looking person I've ever seen. I think Toby's more handsome, but maybe I'm biased. But anyway, we walked past and he he he just seemed like nice. I was like just a nice normal energy. Like he just gave a sort of sweet like sort of He's also just like I made eye contact like I was a normal like he was a normal person. I was just sweet. I was like, oh my god, you're a good man. I know, so I'm very happy for Zoe. She's in good health. Oh yeah, I think they've just like must have just fallen really in love really. Like it happens. Think about that honeymoon phase though. That first year is honeymoon galore. And if you're at the right age, you're right, you've got money at your fingertips. You're gonna just be like, fuck it, let's just get engaged. That's why they say people that meet in their 30s, it just all happens like way quicker, that's it. To be fair, my sister and her husband got engaged after a year. I guess nine months is different, but when you know you know. When you know you know. They probably start living together really quickly. I feel like they've been together nonstop since they started. It's been longer than nine months. Oh my god, have you also seen the euphoria thing with the the wedding. I just keep seeing all these clips. I keep seeing the revenge dresses, people . And that girl, what's her name with the brown hair? She looks unreal. She's lost so much weight. I know. So has everyone though in the world, but um she walks in and this like cut-out dress and you can just see like you can just see like the start of her like butt crack, but it's really sexy. Um apparently Zendo and um Tom Hong Sydney Sweeney don't love each other, like each other. Who was it that was like I was fitter than Sydney Sweeney when I was younger I think it was Cameron Diaz said that. Oh yeah, I to be honest, I uh agree. I agree. Her in the mask. Yeah, I was just about to say her in the mask. That claim replays for some reason of my TikTok all the time, just her like bending down with the shoe. She was like the first like growing up like the first female celeb that everyone was like Cameron Diaz. Definitely. I do love her as well. Like I think she's like fun actress, kind of like Jen Ann. Me too, and she's just come started acting again. She took like ages out to have kids. Did she? Yeah. The last thing I watched her in actually was What to Expect When You're Expecting. Oh . Or that one where she was with um Who's the uh uh Impossible Man ? Oh, I know Night and Day. Yeah. Day and night. Yeah, whatever it is. Tom Cruise. I love that film. I love films like that. We need those sorts of films back because I feel like we don't really have those anymore. I know well they're starting to redo the like naughty films. And naughty. Wait, what are we gonna go watch the old Devil West Prata? Yes, I can't wait to watch it. Devastated that every single person and their dog was invited to that premiere apart from me. It's like every influence under the sun went. Yeah, actually they did. And like funny the red carpet. And like did no one see my TikToks of when I dressed up as Merrill Street for Halloween and did all of those voiceovers. I was so good. That was actually such a missed off dream. And Toby went as Staniducci and it was just iconic and they missed that. We could have dressed up again for the premier anyway. I know I had the whole thing the bald caps in the drawer by the front door, we could have whacked that back on Toby, the glasses. It was such a vibe. Anyway, I am worried about it not being as good as the first one just because the first one was so perfect. I have heard good things though. People loved it. Okay, I think it's every time someone leaves a premiere, people like it. Really? I do think that because I think that you're in such an amazing environment. And you see all the cars. Yeah, and it's just so exciting. But it's always so fantastic. But I just feel like I trust Anne Hathaway wouldn't do it if it wasn't amazing. And the same with Meryl, I guess. Yeah. So apparently, have you heard this? They've made Meryl Streep's character nice. I like that. Well, it depends. Because I like the dynamic of her always being vired, almost always being fired, and then finally winning her over, and then them having that bond. Maybe she's nice because they're friends now. Yeah. I also like that I feel like um they probably did this to be more feminist, but like this idea that like successful women all have to be off like bitches. That's probably Yeah. Whereas like they're being like no, she's not a little bit slightly. Also I guess I see um Anna Wintor now like always there in these like press moments. So maybe she had a bit more of an input because obviously the whole thing is about her. So she was probably can we make me nicer please? Whilst we're on the Devil Wears Prada 2 chat, I'd like to talk a little bit about the Nau like other naughty's films. What is your dream reboot for a naughty film? Because I feel like there've been rumours about this for eight years, but how to lose a guy in ten days. They need to bring out number two of that. Are they actually? I don't know no, I don't know if they I don't know if he would ever do a trick flick again. He's so good in the mo. He is. He's like Dream Man. He really is films. That would be amazing. I forget about that film. We don't have anything like that coming out newly. Like there was the one with Sydney Sweeney in it, and I'm like, that is a shit chip flick compared to those old 90s ones. Yeah, there's no like original good chit flicks anymore. Mm. So Princess Diaries supposedly is that's been c supposedly coming out for ages, but she said that they're still working on the script. Oh, so that might be ages, did it? Yeah. That will be so good. That will be good. Thank God for Anne Hathaway bringing these all back. Who was the who was the lovely man in it? It's Chris Pine? Yeah, and he was in number two . Oh so god. Yeah, I love him. That's who should I ended up with, right? Oh, that was good. What other films would be good? They tried to do mean girls, that didn't really work. But they didn't try and like make that they didn't number two, they did like a new I would love a number two if me and girls. I don't know what they could do. Yeah, well that's what they did with Freaky Friday too. So I actually watched that on the playbook. Not really, no. Um yeah, I was actually. Lindsay Lan's made this big comeback, but like I don't know if she's been in any good movies. She's just done quite a lot of the Christmas movies. Yeah, the Christmas movies. I do actually all with Lawton though. Lovely background. Yeah, it is good background noise. It's like festive. Basically, they no one can think of any good chick flick rom-coms anymore. So they're just doing part two. And what was the other um really nice one where she was like, Ten things I like about you? Ten things I hate about you. Yeah. That was Heath Ledger though. But that was an incredible film. Such a good film. I rewatched that really recently. Oh my god, I'm gonna re-watch that. It's a really good film. Do you know what also we need another film? Like, you know, like the he's just not that into you and like love actually like those films that have like loads of little diff I love those. Did a really good job and then they did the New Year's Eve. That's the New Year's Evil Who did those? And they get like 20 celebrities in it. Like Taylor Swift was in Valentine's Day. So good. We should have one with younger people now, because like the younger generation are like the 19-year-olds aren't gonna watch that. No, but yeah, we could have someone with all the like the Jacob Alaudis. He could be in it. Sensational. He's in everything. We could get that Michelle Randol in it. Oh my god. Oh my god. Such a good film. People from the Sunray turned pretty. Couple whack a couple those in Hey! Did you know that GiftGaff offer a wide range of refurbished phones from the biggest brands.

But all I have to do is stir it in the pan for six minutes, right? Bingo! Try the new Charlie Biggams Asian pan-fry noodle range, handmade in my kitchen. Pan-fried in yours. Okay, right, we're gonna do some dilemmas now guys. Dilemma one. Hey girls, love the pot. I recently just came back from holiday to the Caribbean with my boyfriend. The day after we got back, I had a little sneak through his iPad whilst he was out . Either this at this stage it's either like you're gonna find engaged a proposal or cheating. Yeah. I go into his WhatsApp and see a message from a number saying, hey baby, loved hanging out with you last night. Let me know if you want to enjoy my company again. That sounds like prostitute. Yeah. My company again. That's and it's doesn't it? Yeah. I had no idea what was going on. The profile picture was this really gorgeous, sexy woman in her underwear. So I imaged search the profile picture. Only on the first result that came up with the website was called Secret Escorts. We knew this, we knew. We knew. Her picture was right there on the homepage. I confronted him about it. He said it wasn't him. He must have been hacked. Just get better excuse. Come on. Someone strolled my food in the night. Just cop to it at that point. I was fuming at this because I was not born yesterday. To say you've been hacked is such a lame excuse. I've left the house and went home as I didn't want to hear any more about it. He's doing everything to say it wasn't him, but what are the chances someone hacks into what's that? I fear that I'm only left for two options, trust him and break up with him, babe. He didn't hacked. You've got to break out with him. That's so upsetting though, because I feel like when you're so in love with someone, and then like I've always always feel like you need such concrete proof because otherwise, you can so talk yourself into believing . Yeah, courtify ing that's such a rank, hideous way to get treated cheated on. Also, like that tells me that he's got a lot of problems because I always think, right, there's a few different scenarios of cheating. One and some, I guess, in a really, really, really, really, really small case, could be accepted and someone could be forgiven. And you can work through it. If someone's going through a seriously rough patch in their rel ationship, they're not married. I'm gonna say this is also and you know you're really, really, really, really, really drunk and someone kisses you and you're like, Oh god, no, what was I doing? That was really fucking stupid. Yeah. If I was young Yeah, I feel like I would even now I know I'm there's a certain stage on where I'm like I wouldn't. There's always so much leading up to even a kiss where you could put the brakes on much but in a young person when you're like drunk and a couple of twenty one, twenty two and you've been together for a couple of years and he makes a mistake like that, that's when I'd be like, babe, I think it's okay, he's not a bad guy. Like this is a mistake, he'll learn from it. This is a really pre-bedded. He's paid for this. His hard-earned cash, he's gone on the gone and Googled, he's picked her out, he's paid for he's met her, he's gone through it. But like there's so many steps in that and also they've just come back from holidays so like surely he's having sex with her and then the next one. You think that he's all out of spunk or whatever, but no clearly not but you know what I mean? Like why you sterly, you've got a problem if you're going that much as well. Yeah. And like what didn't she say it was like two nights after they got back? So like he's got back from Holy Day with his girlfriend the next gone straight to see. That's just dis also lying to you so much, making you think that he's been a hacked. You also you'll never if you choose to believe it, you'll never get it out of your head. Well I wouldn't anyway, that there is a very strong possibility that he was lying and I don't know, I feel like the risk that the very small risk that he's telling the truth, the fact that you down like, I don't know, if you trusted him so much, you would be like, no, there's no way you would do this and you would have to. Also, why would you go through his phone? Yeah. Somebody told you to do that in the first place. Intuition, female intuition is great. Someone up there is looking out for you, telling you go and look at that message. But dump him. Yeah. Dump his ass right now. That's a unanimous dump him. No questions asked. Um, okay, dilemma two. Hi girls, I'm in desperate need of some advice. I'm currently six months pregnant and somehow I've become the friend, no one invites out anymore. All my best friends are still going for drinks, birthdays, nights out and cozy nights in, but I've realised I'm just not included anymore. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but it happened enough times now that I've had to say something. One of my best friends texted me saying, we just didn't think you'd want to come because you can't drink and we didn't want you to feel like the Debbie Downer. I actually do still want to go out, have a little dance, a little gossip and a takeaway whilst watching Maths Australia. To you right. I might not be doing tequila shots, but I'm still the same person. Now I don't know whether to call them out properly or just start turning up uninvited to make a point and prove I can still be fun and crazy when I'm pregnant. Oh, I feel really sorry for you. I think just speak to the person that you're closest to in the group and be like, I feel so left out. Please invite me I know I'm pregnant, but I'm still really fun. Yeah. I feel like the polite thing to do in that situation for like the group of friends, even if you think your pregnant friend doesn't want to come, invite her, and then she can turn down the invite. But like it's a bit mean to in like not include someone just because they're pregnant. But I do think they won't mean it. Yeah, I feel like they genuinely probably think, especially if um you're like the first in your group to be pregnant. They won't get it and they'll just think Yeah. But just say I w if I was you, I'd say something to the closest person in the group. Yeah. And yeah, I I I find it really funny that you've said you're just gonna turn up uninvited today for you. It's really funny. I mean Scott and find my friends right tonight . Yeah, I mean like if you're like really close friends with them and they'd find that funny and you could just be like, guys, I'm here, I'm really fun. There's do that. But also just be honest. I think it's nice because you're gonna teach them what it's like when they're when they all get pregnant. They're gonna be like, oh my god, sucks that we left you out. Yeah Do you know what I me.an? I think it's quite weird because until you're really at the last stage, like you can't it's not like you can't do anything that you wouldn't have been able to do. No, especially like otherwise. I get like not inviting you maybe to a like clubbing night out 'cause you would genuinely think like she's not gonna wanna do that. And personally when I was pregnant I th I would there's no way I would have done that. But um but I also know friends that like do like going to like bars and dinners and stuff when they're pregnant 'cause like they don't mind. Um, but the nut cozy nights in, there's no need for you to not be invited there. I agree. I think that we need to put our foot down a little bit and speak up and just say, I don't want to be left out. Yeah. I haven't got a baby yet. I'm not like invisible just I'm pregnant. Not change past. I'm not on bed rest. So you still wanna and also you could maybe invite everyone over and be like, guys, I know that you all think that I can't do anything, but please keep inviting me because this is also your last time before you do have a baby. Yeah, this is the last time you need freedom to just be able to be spontaneous. Such a good point. People pregnant should actually really make try and make the most of like I don't know what you can do though because you can't do much. I know. It is it is like a bit miserable when you're pregnant girl. Like this girl, obviously, she seems super fun, so to be fair, she's probably not for her, but I found it so miserable. Like when everyone's in a bar and drunk and you're there like I'd find that harsh. Everyone shut up and I'm my feet hurt and get me home. Yeah. So I was like I do get that. But this girl's- be invite and turn it down. Exactly. They should be letting you be the one to make the choice. And I think that they would understand that when they've Yeah. They probably just don't don't get it. Love you so much. Okay, dilemma three. Hey, George and Melissa. I loved hearing you talk about how you loved the honeyman the other week. That's interesting. I'm happy that someone liked you. I've always loved a man in a suit. But after a horrific run of dates when my last date explained NFTs to me for 45 minutes. I wanted to switch half. Sorry. NFTs is just like, what is that? I don't know, but it sounds horrid. So I went on a date with a guy who happened to be a hand yman. We agreed to have a drink after work at the pub. He walks in wearing those cargo trousers, lots of big pockets. And I was instantly obsessed. We were chatting and the vibes were good. I'm in the middle of a story where he suddenly reaches into one of his pockets for a proper rummage. He pulls out a handful of loose screws and puts them on the bar . Then starts laughing to himself and I asked what's so funny. He said, fancy a screw and winked at absolutely send me. Oh my god, what is this? This guy's got such a good game. Why is that the best pickup line I've ever heard ? Oh my god, I can't lie I actually found it hilarious. Obviously. It caught it caught me off guard and we were crying with laughter. Anyway, fast forward a week and he keeps messaging me asking to take me out again. I told my girlfriends, expecting them to laugh and they were like, That's so w weird. Oh, your girlfriend seems to fucking get lighten up. People need a better sense of humour in this world. So now I'm conflicted on the day I thought it was funny and didn't get the itch at all, but my friends think it's a massive red flag. Oh my god, it's so tongue-in-cheek. And also he giggled like he laughed himself first. He like thought the joke and was like that funny. Amazing. Good chat, I would say. Are they right? Would you prefer what would you do if you were dropped and then you ended like that on the first day? Oh my God, I would slap it. I'd be like Yeah. I absolutely would . Um No, I mean he's really funny. That's a green flag to me that he's got a good sense of humour. I'm so confused as to why we're conflicted about this. Like you were there, you know how great the vibes were. Yeah. I'd love some more information. Did you kiss? Did you screw? I'm guessing you didn't screw, which is a shame. But yeah, the he like also I feel I do see what I if that that could be like a bit red flag gy if he said it in like trying to be seductive, like I don't know, like
