It's an absolute winner for you. because we sing our revenge songs to each other if we cheated on each other. And kudos to Lily Allen. Jamie also discusses openly about how often he gets Botox. That's not quite how it went, actually. But yes, that's in there. Okay, fine. We also talk about threesomes. So get ready to hear Sophie's little frisky update on that. She wants to have a threesome. And the Jam Pot team guessed the gender of our baby. Enjoy. Enjoy the episode.

When do you ever not? For once, let me really delve into myself today. Did you recently get Botox? Oh my God. I can always tell. It's just so, so obvious. Raise that little forehead of yours. I love it when people call it a forehead.

4:22Raise it. Oh God, rife in there. That was hell, wasn't it? Heart medical. Oh, just leave me. It's very, very shiny. It's not shiny. It's because I went to have a sauna this morning. It's lovely and tight. And let me tell you, I can't bloody wait. I'm just envious at this point. Anyway, I haven't had Botox once again. We caveat from my story. We don't lie on this podcast. I would like to say to everyone who is listening on to their podcast, I hope you are having a brilliant day. Big news on the circuit. Sophie Haboo has finished Vampire Diaries. Guys, I need to chat GBT what happened on the last episode because I fully zoned out.

5:02If you were single and not married, and you met a vampire on a night out, would you have sex with them? Yes. You, what? You need to watch Vampire Diaries. You would have sex on a night out. I would have sex with every single vampire that was on Vampire Diaries. Every single one of them. And you absolute hussy. Imagine if we flipped the tables on and I said, and I was like, I would have sex with all the Kardashians. I'm sure you would. No, I know. Imagine if that was the conversation that I started with. Would you have sex with all the Kardashians? No, because they're all in relationships. No, they're not.

5:36Okay. None of them are. Kim, single. Would you have sex with her? I haven't even thought about it. Khloe? Mm-hmm. Is she single? Single. Okay, well, fine. Kylie, who knows, Timothee Chalamet? Okay, who else is there? Definitely will Kylie. She's your number one girl. She's not. She's your number one girl, which is honestly perfect for me, as I couldn't look further from Kylie. I don't look anything like these vampires that you like. This is true So anyway How upset are you about Vampire Diaries I'm not upset What I am upset Is that Stefan or Paul Wesley Is not in another series He quit acting What?

6:13Yeah What? There are two brothers Paul and whoever Stefan and Damon They've set up a bourbon brand Yes So this is how the world mysteriously works I'm not even kidding you I meet a guy in the gym And he works for the bourbon I have a connection in with these two brothers So do I Who is your connection? Olivia Ferdy She is very good friends with Paul And she messaged me And she was like Just so you know Paul's still got it And what did you reply? Oh, can't wait to meet him to shag him Yeah, I said I can't wait Are you joking? I think that she sent him the clips of me kissing his cutout cardboard And I'm so upset Because I'm literally like so enormously pregnant Why does he have to see the meet for the first time I think the other side of it is that you're married Like that's The more Unconvenient point But Yeah but would you not Unconvenient Inconvenient Unconvenient Okay inconvenient boy Let me ask you a question It's more inconvenient Do we get a hall pass?

7:12Are you mad? I would give you one If you gave me one for him Done Give it to me tonight I'm going to go on a rampage Okay No no no It's only for one person Alright Who's the least likely person You'll ever meet I'm going to go with Kim Kardashian My hall pass is Kim Kardashian how have you chosen my hall pass? Mine's Paul Wesley and I have two connections with him agreed? You're allowed to shag him twice no I have two in it's like you're so far disconnected to Kim Kardashian I just know that will never happen and you're really the opposite to her type in every way can I ask you okay let's talk about hall passes right for a second so let's say we hooked up with a hall pass right and it was really exciting and you were hooking up with your hall pass and I hooked up with my hall pass I don't want to be each other.

7:57I don't want that. Sorry. You're actually considering this in like real life. Like this is a hypothetical and you're giving scenarios like not in front of each other. No, it doesn't matter. We could do it on a train. Like it's not going to happen. It might happen. Sophie, you do not have a hall pass. Jamie, I know someone who knows him very well. Sophie, you're not going to go and have sex with Paul Wesley. I made it. And I'd be happy with it. Because you just said on live podcasting nation That that is my hall pass And you agreed to it You're not allowed to go and have sex You can have sex with Kim Kardashian Hang on, okay Hall pass, you end up hooking up with your hall pass Yeah By hooking up, we mean we have sex Yes, if you want me to say, yeah Don't you think you're lucky?

8:43I'm allowing, I said you can have sex with Kim Kardashian If she asked to have sex with you I would say you can have it The difference is, is that You're allowing me to have a hall pass You want to have a hall pass Who would you actually want your hall pass to be? I don't know I know who it'd be and I'm not allowing that one Who? Dakota Johnson What? Okay, you hook up, you have your hall pass Hear me out Right What would the hall pass do to make it ick you out? Nothing There must be something the hall pass would do to ick you out What about kissing your neck? No Oh, that's alright Alright, okay This is taking a turn for the worse I don't like this.

9:23This is too intimate and strange. No, it's not. What would ick you out? Go on. If he, like, asked me to suck his toe, I'd be like, no. That would ick me out. Badly, actually. If Paul Wesley asked you to lick his toe, you wouldn't like that? No. I'd be really upset. Give me some other things that would ick you out. If he got on all fours, I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing? There's so many things. The list is endless. What do you mean if he just got on all fours? Well, I don't know. You're thinking if he asked you to peg him. No, I was more thinking if he asked me to rim him, I would be like, you're no.

10:01I'm no. I'm not into that. That's a really unsettling image of a man on all fours. I really don't like that. There are a lot of things that men can do that can ink you out in the bedroom. Like what? Give me some other things. If they're really like slender and their arms are shaking trying to hold themselves up. And that's happened before. Like their arms are shaking because they're like, you know, on top of you. That's a slightly icky. The arms are shaking. Because it's a lot. It's not. It's a physical like exertion sexist. Particularly for a man If you know You're doing it right So I think that's that That is the things That ick you out What's gonna ick you out Alright I'll tell you I'm not so like I'm not such like a Like a Like a scratcher Who would like Some people scratch Like scratching Like tickling and scratching I don't really like that What midway through sex I don't really understand I'm not so good at eye contact As well During it Nor are you on your hand So he's always looking the other way.

11:13So you would say, don't look at me. Yeah, yeah, lights off, don't look at me. It's when you're being intimate and someone's looking at you deeply, it's a bit much. Yeah, okay. To be honest though, you have said though, in third trimester, it gets a little bit frisky. Did I? You did say this to me. Yeah, there's a lot of like hormonal changes. But what I meant by that is that sooner rather than later, we're going to have to, you know... Oh my God. Because we don't want a lay baby. But you said to me that never in your life have you had this. No, I'm not talking about this on the podcast. I absolutely simply refuse.

11:52I'll talk about pegging Paul Wesley, but I'm not talking about this. It was sweet. Sophie said that she's never had a... No! No, no, no, no. My child can hear you, please. Our child. Jamie tells me that our child can understand and hear everything I say as a blackmail. So if I ever get annoyed at him, I can't. Yeah, I say that every time. So Sobi said that she doesn't know what's going on, but it feels like all of the blood in her body is pumping towards her clitoris. No, no, no, I didn't say that at all. I didn't say that. Speaking of that, have you seen Lily Allen's new album? No. Lily Allen has spoken and she's done an album singing about her ex-husband.

12:30Right. And how they used to swing together. It wasn't swing, they had an open marriage, didn't they? They had an open marriage, but the T's and C's were like, it had to be, in one of the lyrics, she's like, they've got to get paid and it can't be anyone they know. But then apparently he was just bringing people back to their bedroom and just... Shut up. I need to listen to this whole album. This is fascinating to me. I think that the problem is it's all fun and games until you see you suddenly, you and you're the guy you're or the girl you're getting on with. And then you look over and your partner's really having a fucking good time with somebody else.

13:05I'd be like, no, enough, everybody. We're all... Everybody. How many people are in the room queuing up? Because I've heard, I've had friends who have done threesomes and they said like, you know, it all starts, you're all getting into it and it's girl and girl and it's guy and girl and it's... Which of your friends? You won't know. You can guess. Anyway, it goes on and it goes on and then suddenly they're shagging and you're sat there on the side, twiddling your thumbs. Get involved. Do what? spank their bum while they're having sex so you're saying there is no chance for us to do that to have an open marriage no alright if I was to cheat on you right and you were to create a song yes okay and it's a song about me cheating on you okay what would your song be and what would the B be can I have like a Lily Allen tune you can have any tune you can have any tune you want I need a tune ba ba da ba ba ba ba da ba you are a little dick and you think that you're quick at running but you're not you're just cunning you are a little hobbit and you think that that is what's on it but it's not it's just a stinky boy who thinks that he is a big fat toy but you're not you're not you're not you know you are just a little dick who's not even quick yeah what would you want to say that's your tune when I woke up next to her I thought she was in love with me all I didn't realise is that she was a bee in a high full of men full of men she was the queen bee in a high full of men full of men And she wanted everyone to see her fanny.

15:05No, too far. You always take it too far. And she was actually downstairs. He was a dick. He was a dick. Three, four, five, oh, dick. You didn't let me finish my song. She wanted everyone to see her fanny. And what they didn't realise is downstairs, she's more like a granny.

15:32Because it's saggy. No, no, no. His balls are wrinkly. He was a dick. He was a dick. And then we came in and we said, what are you doing over there? And he said, oh, I'm a cheater. And they screamed, he's a cheater. You dick, you cheater, you dick, you cheater, you dick Oh my god, I'm honestly so good at me Oh my god, that's good What a day to be alive Oh, okay, listen I don't know why there's a lot of sex talk going on But I went on the one show BBC One show with Jon Bon Jovi And your hair looked gorgeous Thank you very much, I really appreciate it And everyone messages me saying they love it like this You should see my DMs Why does he dye it?

22:53Okay, you ready for this? Yeah. I have a wild, wild story for you. Give it to me, wild boy. All right, from Olivia. I attended a wedding party a couple of months ago with my partner, and I wanted to look really nice as it was the first time I was meeting a lot of his friends. That's always intense. Just a caveat, Sophie had this, went to one of my best friends in the world's weddings. She went with me. The first time she's meeting loads of different people. We drove down, we rented a really smart car, so we rented a Range Rover, and we were like, this is going to be... No, no, you've completely forgotten already.

23:23You went down the day before. I know. We rented a Range Rover. I went down the day before. And Sophie drove down in this huge Range Rover car to a wedding where she didn't know anyone. She didn't know any of the friends, nothing at all. She arrives at the wedding venue and I hear like screams and like all these different things. And someone runs up to go, oh my God, you have to watch out for Sophie. Something's happened. I was like, what the hell? Sophie has driven in to the wedding venue. Actually had to reverse into it. The mother of the bride has come out and said, you can't park here. You can't park here.

23:55Sophie tries to reverse out, reverses into a wall. Guys, the whole back end of this Range Rover is carved open. The whole rented Range Rover is smashed open. He forgot his suit. So I had to drive down early to this wedding. And I said, well, what am I going to do? Where am I going to get ready? Like, I can't be ready from like 11am because he's an usher. He goes, no, you can get ready in the bride's house. I've spoken to them. They're fine. You can shower there. You can get ready. are you sure? Like I've literally met her once are you sure? So in I go into the bride's house where she is walking down getting her bridal photos with her maid of honour her best friends her mother her father doing all of those shots I walk in hi who the fuck are you?

24:35Zoe can I just shower and get ready? Do you mind if I use your bathroom? They're like what? That was one of the coolest things you've ever done to me It wasn't it was fine You never asked them they had no idea they were like this girl is so rude Okay well here we go we're going to continue I bought a new dress had my makeup done and even put in my clip-in extensions. It was a good night, drinks were flowing, however the drunker people got the more hugs I was receiving. And at one point in the night a girl I spoke to was so drunk and getting very personal in my personal space, I noticed her scratching her head a lot.

25:06A few days by and my partner randomly said to me, I think I've got nits. I laughed because obviously I thought he was joking and he had just had an itchy head, but he kept complaining about it so eventually I agreed to check his scalp. Lo and behold, I see tiny black things crawling on his scalp. I screamed. Why are you calling it a scalp?

25:27Sculp. I'm dead. Is it written scalp? Or is that how you pronounce it? That's how I pronounce it. So you say celebration instead of celebration and now I've worked out you say scalp instead of scalp. Sculp. It's scalp, right? It's scalp. It's an A. It's an A. Magda, were you dying? I was waiting to see if you were going to say something. I thought first of all he slipped up. I honestly thought first of all he slipped up, no point in correcting him. And then when you read it, I was like, you can't be serious. Scalp. Scalp? He says scalp. But there's no you. Yeah, it's scalp. Scalp. He's mad. Ow, my scalp's dry.

26:14Ow, my scalp is... It's because you're thinking of skull, I'm sure of it. No, yeah. I shaved my head, that's my scalp. Are you joking? I've always had scalp.

26:28It reminds me of like, ooh, I'm sulking my scalp. Yeah, my scalp. No. All right. Lo and behold, I could see crawling in a scalp. I screamed. I literally couldn't believe my eyes. We ran to the chemist to pick up stuff to get rid of them and spent the next few days washing, combing, washing, combing. There were hundreds. I then found them in my hair too. I was absolutely horrified. We were scratching our heads, pardon the pun, wondering where on earth we picked these up from. Then it flicked to my head, the wedding. I picked up my hair extensions. No. They were crawling with it. And there were nits crawling all over them.

27:02The look on my face was a picture. I spent a small fortune on these extensions and the only option was to burn them. there were knits in the hair extension yeah they're also on her scalp safe to say i will be not hugging strangers another wedding for a long time that is that's really hideous that is horrendous knits are really horrible and i i really feel for like i've had knits like i went to normal school i had knits i never pictured the boy do you remember like if god forbid when you would do like a family holiday and there'd be all the kids there and then every night with that white comb the scrape and my friend Mel my mum's friend Mel she would really scrape your head and you'd be like anyway once I was sat in an assembly and um a girl's hair was moving oh my god there was so many knits in it the hair was moving and I was sat behind and I thought and the whole school had knits this outbreak and I thought oh poor girl that's the culprit Jesus okay here we go pregnancy story from Sarah I had a gorgeous baby boy in January 2024.

28:05He's an absolute angel, but he came with a side order of reflux and zero sleep. So we were very much not planning another baby anytime soon. Post birth, I started having some pain when going to the loo. So the GP suggested a colonoscopy. I'm sat in the ward in one of those backless gowns, bum out, pride gone, waiting for the joyful ride to begin. And a nurse pops up and says, we just need to do a routine pregnancy test. I strut off to the loo, peed in a cup and didn't think twice. Ten minutes later, the nurse returns, face redder than my ass was about to be. She stammers, um, right, you're pregnant.

28:39Sorry, what? Then, as if it wasn't enough, the consultant waltzes in laughing and says, congrats, we rescheduled for nine months from now. I was mortified. I came in for a colonoscopy and left with a baby on the way. Fast forward nine months and our beautiful second baby boy just arrived four weeks ago. He slotted into our lives perfectly And we wouldn't change a thing He's amazing Moral of the story Always check you're not pregnant Before anyone sticks a camera up your bum Just to save yourself the surprise And the audience Thanks for all the laughs And you're going to make the best parents Keep doing what you're doing That's amazing Let's go Sarah How quickly did she get pregnant After giving birth?

29:18Well in 2024 January And so now This has just been sent in So like four months She got pregnant again Yeah Yeah you're most fertile the first year of post-partum. That is what? It's called Irish twins. Yeah, because you're abnormal. You're so fertile, apparently. Come on, give me another story. All right, I've got one from Courtney. At 32 weeks pregnant, one night I woke up feeling horrendously constipated. I went downstairs to the loo and as my NCT class instructor told me to when I needed a poo, I practiced my down breathing to prepare for birth. It got to around 7am and I was in so much pain that I woke my husband up and told him we needed to go to hospital.

29:56Once we got to hospital, They strapped me to the machine and said everything was okay But they just needed to get a doctor to check me over While I was waiting The feeling that I was going to shit myself Just would not go I felt like I needed to be on the toilet But there was only one toilet for the whole triage When the doctor eventually arrived I apologised profusely and said I was probably being dramatic She told me to hop up on the bed And look between my legs Me and my husband were given the shock of our lives When she told us I was not being dramatic I was fully dilated and about to have a baby No way No way That's amazing I'll never forget the look we gave each other in that moment I was quickly rushed to the delivery suite And my beautiful baby girl Marla was born by natural delivery And an hour and a half later Two months early Wow The evening for our trip to the hospital We had decided between putting our Christmas tree up And packing our hospital bag We chose to leave the hospital bag until next weekend And instead put the tree up I'm glad we chose the tree As bringing our baby home after being at NICU for two weeks With the tree up Just in time for Christmas made it even more magical That's amazing.

30:57Wishing you the best of luck with your journey into parenthood. You'll make the most amazing parents. Let's go. That's amazing. We love that so much. Wow, so it feels like you need a poo. I didn't know that. Also, when you apparently are having a heart attack. This is true. Lots of people have a heart attack whilst doing a poo. Yeah, because you feel like you need a poo.

Some incredible, amazing, unbelievably heartwarming stories. And we have our first unsung hero. Her name is Lucy. Now, Lucy has a pretty amazing story, which I'm not going to say right now, because she's going to share it herself.

Yeah, a lot. For like four years. And so you're our first unsung hero, so thank you for being amazing. We wanted to give you the best of the birthday weekend ever. So we sent you to Hercules, we put you up in a hotel in Knightsbridge. Who's here? Yeah. We're going to send you for brunch today as well.

So this is where the set is if you want to come have a look. Oh, wow. You come and sit in it. Okay, so Lucy, you have no idea why you were here, right? No. It was a big surprise. So surprised. But it was your birthday on Friday? Friday. We sent out on the podcast, we wanted people to send in their unsung heroes because there are so many incredible people out there and you guys listen to our show every single week so we want to listen to you guys who listen to our show and your boyfriend Damon who's sitting next to you right here, he wrote in and he told your story of how you save someone's life on a flight.

34:18So can you tell us the story? So I've been living in Australia for like three and a half years. We'd done long distance for like nine months. So I was coming home to live back at home for us to be together. So it was a pretty dramatic flight anyway. And then you got the dreaded call of, is there any doctors or nurses on board? And you just feel really nervous. Should I get up and help? But obviously you do. So we got up and went to the back of the plane and there was a five-year-old there who had asthma and he was struggling with his breathing so he was on oxygen so the ground staff asked us to cannulate him so cannulating a normal person's hard it's like putting a needle in your vein yeah so sophie has the ivs doesn't she that's the one basically so you have to do that to a five-year-old yeah so it's really difficult to cannulate a kid so the doctor there was like you go first i was like definitely you try so the doctor tried and he didn't get the cannula and we only had one more cannula to go so they were like it's gonna have to be you to try and I was like shaking like draw like being able to put this cannula in um and honestly it was a miracle like the the needle went in so we were like able to give the kids some antibiotics and we were able to give him a steroid on the plane to see if it made him any better but we couldn't manage it obviously like 50 ,000 feet up in the air so we're speaking to the ground staff on the ground and they kind of said it's up to you do you think you could manage him another six hours to land in Abu Dhabi or do you think that you could divert the plane so we died we decided to divert the plane but we still had to wait like another hour and I like sat and had the five-year-old like in between my legs like on oxygen while the doctor was like kind of dealing with like most of the stuff the poor lady like the mom had a 11 month old so she couldn't really oh my god do much to obviously help and she was so distressed because her son was obviously not well and then thank god we landed in Sri Lanka um and then yeah the Sri Lankan like hospital got on board and we had to go and give a handover to the Sri Lankan team and then just got shipped back to our seats and then And I just sat in my seat and was like, that was the craziest thing that's ever happened to me.

36:35Oh my God. I like landed in Abu Dhabi and I'd missed my connection flight. So then I was stranded in Abu Dhabi for six hours. Like, yeah, by myself after all of that. And then these guys were obviously crazy, weren't you? Because I'd just done all of that by myself and then got trapped halfway around the world still. How did you stay so calm? I think it's just, it's like a nurse instinct. I've been a nurse for like nearly five years now. So when something goes wrong, you just instinctively just kind of do it. My God. But I don't think all nurses are like that, really. No. She's just a good nurse.

37:13Yeah, well, I mean, I try my best, yeah, so. Bici, that is amazing. Yeah. You're incredible. Honestly, I just can't. That's just the best thing. That is amazing. Yeah. And you've listened to the show for a while? For IFF. like literally forever like the beginning from the beginning my like auntie lise was obsessed with made in chelsea like when i was a teenager and i was like oh i'm too northern like i'm not watching that i was like you know north south divide so that's not for me and then i obviously like watched us on instagram the clips and all of that and then i was like oh you've got a podcast like literally that was it then i've listened to you for four years i love that yeah being in melbourne i was feeling pretty homesick because i was like you're the furthest away you can be from home and I would listen to you guys on the bus to work and it would just make me feel a little bit less homesick you can now propose if you want to as well no imagine oh my god no don't I was like don't I can't go listen you guys are amazing Lucy you're incredible listen I hope you had fun at Hercules I hope you had fun the hotel I hope you had the best birthday it was like the poshest hotel I've like ever been in no you're amazing thank you so much Damon you're amazing thank you

38:26How incredible was that? Unbelievable. That's a true, true hero. Imagine being on a flight and someone says, we need a doctor. Anyone a doctor? She's a nurse. She gets up. She goes very calmly. Has the little boy between her legs saving him and then they land, have to make the decision to land in another country. Just actually heroic and unbelievable. Incredible.
