0:58So here comes some questions in a quick fire fashion. Let's go.

1:01Louise: Do you find, this is a personal question from me. Do you find that you use words on the podcast that you wouldn't otherwise use? Did I just use one? Frisky. I feel like our vocab gets really fruity on the pod. Actually, my real answer to that is doing this podcast, I think encourages you to, I don't know, maybe improve your vocab. I think what I'm saying is like outside of this, I'm probably a bit lazy. ah yeah he's a lazy boy just like us lazy girlies love that if you could time travel to a different time period in history where would you go jackson hall maybe somewhere like i don't know yellowstone be a cowboy i'd love to be a cowboy i've already got the trousers on you do i feel like i would really just sit slot straight into that vibe okay so tell me and i know the reason you've chosen this as well because a very famous show probably yellowstone but i've asked about time so do Do you know the time period that that is?

1:58Isn't the second series a date?

2:01Louise: 1823. 1823. Is that what it is? I think so. The series is called 1823. Yeah. Or 18 something. I think it's 1823. Okay. So that's where you'd go. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, because you'd enjoy just sort of holding a pistol, riding on a horse? Yes. Being out in the mountains and like fishing in the lakes. It's, mate, going to like bars and like drinking a bottle of beer and then be like, I'm just going to throw it on the floor because I can. Listening to some like acoustic guitar in the background and some, I don't know. What about you? Which era are we going to for you? I used to be obsessed with the ancient Egyptians.

2:38Louise: So probably around then with Tutankhamun and then, you know, Cleopatra, Caesar, all that jazz. Hmm. Nice. It's actually, it's funny though, because this question throws up that trend for me, which was all over social media a couple of months ago, where girlfriends would ask their boyfriends whether they thought about the Roman Empire, which I couldn't really get on board with because I've never been with a guy who's been obsessed about the Roman Empire. But then when I was thinking about this a bit more, my brother used to be obsessed with like ancient Greece and ancient Rome. and he probably does think about it fairly regularly actually so it is a personality type because scott our neighbor who we do some stuff with business stuff he's obsessed with stoicism and it doesn't that what isn't marcus aurelius ancient rome romans yeah all of that lot so he's really into into that time period and i guess i don't know enough about that bar what was that show that I used to watch what was the one not show a movie a really old one it was Tiberius Spartacus no Spartacus oh you guys see you are a Roman Empire guy isn't Gladiator yeah love that movie not the second one but the first one yet and what was the show the movie which where the Lady Medusa with all the snakes in her hair Clash of the Titans Clash of the Titans I was obsessed with that as a child.

4:07Louise: Is that also in ancient Rome? Doesn't it have a Caesar in it? Yeah. Does it? I don't know. Kind of same sort of period. So I think we are, maybe we do. We're going back to the Roman times. We're going back to the Roman times. What they don't tell you about Roman times is that most men were gay and they were in the hot baths giving each other hand jobs. Where did you pick up that bit? That is fake news. No, that's what Roman blokes were doing. I thought they were just eating grapes and had amphoras, these big glass big vases with wine in and had lots of mistresses lots of lots of gay activity in the roman empire i used to play a game called age of empires did you used to play that yep i actually part of me now wants to download it on my little laptop and play it wouldn't that be amazing to have a day where you had enough time to just download a computer game about the sims or age of empires there's a game called red alert as well which you won't know but like that was the same concept as like age vampires like you'd build yourself like a military base and you'd go and attack and invade different spots my dad used to play until like midnight he went through a phase he went through a phase i don't even know how this ended up but like we all were in this phase of like red alert oh that's quite nice and what age were you when he was able to get into that then mate i would have been i don't know like nine ten ten i guess maybe when your kids are at school grant are we gonna become gamers again no we tried this i bought you an called pharaoh and also civilization which was you'd build like the pyramids and you'd have to build these like little um we tried this cultural things we tried this like you could you could go down and you'd build like a little station where you'd get the reeds from the river and you'd turn it into papyrus and then that would turn that was the paper and louise last birthday i bought you a nintendo switch so we could play mario kart we've done it like eight times and now it's just collecting dust that's actually really sad you know i thought about the mario the nintendo switch the other day i mean can we get it back out and at least play yeah mario party

6:57Louise: If you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be? Roast beef. That's not cuisine. That's not cuisine. Roast beef? I don't know. A Sunday roast comes under British cuisine, I suppose. No, I know, but we always talk about flipping roasts. Cuisine is the country. Right. Well, I thought I loved Mexican, but I had that recently and it was so spicy. It rocked me. What, Mexican? Yeah. When? I had it at the Battersea Power Station the other day. I cooked fajitas last night, but like proper Mexican food is delicious, but hot. Yeah, but I don't think we're doing our fajitas without proper Mexican food.

7:33Louise: I feel like fajitas is not even a thing in Mexico, isn't it? Like enchilada. Quesadilla. Quesadilla. I love saying random Spanish words for food, like bocadillo. Do you know what that is? It's a fish. No, it's a sandwich. Say a Spanish word. Siempre.

7:54simple what's that mean um google it i think that's always simple yeah maybe yeah i think

8:00Louise: it is always and the only reason i feel like weird that that's coming up now because we just spoke about roman and i feel like that's similar to latin do you have to do latin there's a reason why i said simple because there's a there is a creator from spain called wilber who does the funniest things on instagram and me and carlos constantly send each other like have you seen his latest video bro and what does he say siempre always do you speak in Spanish yeah he is Spanish so that's your version of Duolingo as you just watch this dude Wilbur but if I showed you a video you'd you'd either be like you're weird as feck or you'd be fully on board with how funny it is I love weirdness okay Wilbur Victor look him up on Instagram okay he's got some funny shit go and have a little butcher's hook you're on a desert island with only one app which one is it and why think about this properly actually like one app it's easy to spit out like wordle which isn't even an app spotify really oh because you can listen to podcasts on spotify holla hey hi if you're listening on spotify guys that's a good that's actually a good choice and you're obsessed with music and there's video on that platform too so win-win all right so that's actually really solid i can't even contest that I was going to try and be nerdy and say something like Blinkist.

9:18Louise: I've had a subscription to Blinkist for so long. It keeps renewing. It's quite expensive. I listened to it once on holiday and was like, I'm going to become so wildly. I'm going to summarize every single book on my bookshelf. Just listen to little 15 minute nuggets or like seven minute reads. And I just never, ever, ever do it. Do you know what I still think the best app in the world is despite like the amazing shit you can now get. Shazam blows my mind every time. I did it recently in like a pretty like loud coffee shop and I was like that's a nice song and I literally just I didn't even put it to the speaker I just got it out of my pocket and it like within seconds told me everything I needed to know about it that was so good oh mate I was like Shazam is still my favourite you know back in the day Shazam used to be if you just on your keyboard on a phone before smartphones you would just go 2580 which is the numbers all the way down the middle and then ring and that would Shazam you'd get a text with the song that's dope isn't that dope just go so you'd run your finger down the middle line of numbers call and then you get to do that as well i think it's quite nice little effect there i never use tiktok i do post on tiktok not very well but tiktok is actually probably quite good option because it's a search engine as well no i'm kicking you right people now search everything like you could literally search how to get that coke like get a coconut down off the palm tree and it's basically youtube would give you a better version of that go youtube but tiktok's quick and we're all in a rush but not in a design and infinite time so maybe youtube better for long form educational content okay next question really quick last one what's the most ridiculous thing you've ever done to impress each other it doesn't really match up with my personality to do uh ridiculous things i'll be honest with you i'm pretty low-key um i think the fact i just yawned in your face goes to show that I don't do very much to try and impress you, which is really bad.

11:10What's the most ridiculous thing? I think I sent you a naked selfie early on, which thinking about it is ridiculous.

11:15Louise: Oh my God. Oh my God, you did in the mirror. You were standing up. We don't spend too much time on it, but yes, I did do that. I look like a Roman sculpture. It ties in nicely to the Roman theme of the episode today because you did look pretty saucy in that. You looked like a sculpture. You almost looked too good. I was actually embarrassed to show people. But you did, didn't you? Well, no, you fucking did. Because you told me later on that you did tell people. So that means that at least two of your mates have seen me naked. I'm not really the kind of person who would show other people that. Because I'm a bit coy.

11:49Louise: And I wouldn't, it's not like I would ever show someone off. Because once we're together, you're like part of me. And it would feel arrogant to then go, oh, look at what I've got in my pocket. In the sack. and that would feel and that would feel immodest and I'm quite a modest person so I don't think I should anyone your schnitzel don't worry what's your answer then oh I don't know what have I done to impress you the thing that I can do to impress you most is actually just is just to be quiet so sometimes I think god I need to impress Ryan because I don't think he likes me very much at the moment I'll think he'll be impressed if I'm like cool and quiet and wallflowery so I'll just skulk around the house a little bit and be really mysterious and feminine.

12:34Louise: So that's the most absurd thing. All right. Yeah. Yeah, it's good, isn't it? Yeah. I know you well. I don't do it very often because I can't be bothered. But I hope you guys have enjoyed this episode. It's been a real little flash in the pan into our lives and souls. And if you did enjoy it, then please do share with friends.
