Now talking to the thing. I don't like the sound of my voice, unlike you, fucker. All right, why don't you kick off this? Say we're back. We're back in business.
3:31We're back in business, baby. Welcome to the new podcast, Newly Weds. Boosh. I don't like these, and I'll tell you why. Why? Because that episode, when I was crying my eyes out, I look, I actually physically couldn't look at those videos. And look, I... It's the same angle again. Why are you doing me front on, Jamie? I know your drill now. You're trying to screw me over. I'm going to the side Hey Before we Kick off our brand new podcast By the way We're so excited To be back We are Honestly We had a little bit of a break We're going to talk about Where we've been What we've been up to I'm excited to be back With my wife My husband We are We're happier than ever Probably because We haven't done the podcast Probably Yeah Give it a week After doing this podcast And we'll be at each other's throats again We are We're happier than ever I feel like out of the gist You know what I mean out of the flow I don't I feel straight in the flow because you do 49 podcasts a day yeah that's true anyway I'm back in it he's got a shaved head I've got a shaved head well no it's a number three well some of the podcasts we've recorded with hair and there's some of it without but be warned for that that's only one thing but I did want to say this as well we do I don't know if you saw it on social media we're really excited we launched the new name of the podcast I surprised Soph with a what a flash mob you liked it the name no the actual flash mob I've never seen you, I've never felt nervous around you, but I felt nervous watching you.
4:54Like, I almost wanted to take the mic and just do it for you to get the job done. Not that you didn't do it well, because you did do it well, but you were, the hit movement, you just didn't, you looked nervous. Well, I'm going to tell you one thing. I'm going to put, Jemima, producer Jemima was meant to hold up the cards behind. I saw the cards. And she was so involved with watching the twirling of the battens that she forgot to move them sometimes. You're lying. So I was just going, it's too good to be true. Who can't take my eyes off of you? That's not true. You sang perfectly. Hey, also, who we went...
5:24I want to mention this. Sophie and I went to see The Little Mermaid the other day. And we were in a cinema full of kids. And Sophie turned to me halfway through and asked if mermaids were real. And there's a reason for that. Because we've just been told by Jamie... You asked me for half fish, half human. Do you think Mr. Tumnus exists? Do you think dinosaurs were real? Well, they were. What the fuck? Well, it's the same thing. Sorry, dinosaurs. What are you talking about? Dinosaurs are not real now. Mermaids are not real now. But perhaps a million years ago they were. Do you think dragons existed?
5:58Yes. Do they not? You think animals that breathe fire existed? No, they didn't. Do you think dragonflies existed? Sea lions. Sea lions? Sea lions exist. They look like a dragon. I've always thought that. Sea lions? They do. You think sea lions... They do look like a dragon. They look like a seal. A seal. A sea lion doesn't. I'm talking about the little things that are married to men. What the? Seahorses! That's what I mean. You think a sea... Guys, look, I was just telling Jamie, I did get all eights in my GCSEs and A-levels. Sophie, a seahorse looks like a horse, not a dragon. Anyway, the point was we're sitting in the cinema and honestly, Sophie thought mermaids existed.
6:38Well, no, that's not quite true. I thought there was some form of a mermaid. Who decided, do you know what? Well, I'm going to think of an animal. It's going to be called the birdie and it's going to be half bird, half man. Probably the same person who thought of unicorns. You think they exist? That same person who thought mermaids. Mermaids are more realistic. what are you talking about? Right, do you want a geography lesson? You think orcs exist? A history lesson even. Yeah, I do. Back in the day when we all were evolving, some people learned how to eat on land and some people learned how to eat in the ocean.
7:12Yeah. And the people in the middle, the middle men, they became mermaids. So hang on you think mermaids are a result of people being confused of what to do? No it was part of Darwin's evolution. What the fuck is going on? Well you don't know they could Emily told me that Emily said that people have seen mermaids and so it's an unknown aliens people think they're real do you? Yeah. Well there you go it's just as much nonsense as a mermaid have you ever seen a picture of an alien? No one made up aliens they supposedly exist who's seen an alien who in their right mind has seen it lots of people have they name someone who's seen a mermaid me in the cinema oh my god honestly well whoever made them up I would love to be one do you think Mermaids Ariel's life looks epic do you think elves exist no okay well well they do don't they oh my god no I need to talk what is going on I reckon this is going to be a really good series Soph why don't you begin the podcast I'm rusty You begin it.
8:15Okay. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the brand new podcast, Newlyweds. Newlyweds. Newlyweds. Get ready for the greatest time of your life. Buckle up, baby. Make sure the airbag is... No. Okay.

We were full... We got there, no jet lag. Woof, asleep at 8pm. Woke up at 6. Perfect. So actually we're probably a bit more jet lag because we were going to sleep real early over there. What time were we going to bed over there? We never really got out of jet lag. No, it crept up to 10, but like that was our limit. No, it didn't. The one night you said, oh, I'm going to get into bed now. And I looked at it, it was 7.15.

18:13She vomited it. Because I was laughing so much that it was an out-body experience. It all came out of my nose. And I was laughing. And I was like, what's happening? All out my nose, this Diet Coke and carrots. All in my hair and everything. In front of everyone. But when I say it was traumatic, like, it was like I was having a fit. But I couldn't stop laughing as it was happening. Sophie was laughing like this. It was easy. She was laughing like this. And I was like, she's acting a bit weird. And she pulled her ass away. And there was vomit just coming out. No, it's really not. I don't know how it happened.
18:57I really don't. It went everywhere. All over the seats. No, all in my hair. All on the floor. I had to rush to the couch to go and wipe it all up with all this like kitchen roll. but I still couldn't stop laughing it was traumatic it was very traumatic it was like unbelievably traumatic you were just vomiting in the KLM lounge it came out my nose and I don't know if that's possible and it was so painful and Sophie just panicked and kept saying it's coming out my nose it's coming out my nose stop making me laugh stop making me laugh when I drink dark coke and the fizz it was all agony it was horrific so eight hours later I'm just sat with vomit my hair.
19:38The staff couldn't believe what was going on. The staff couldn't believe it. And also because we were laughing, they were like, what is happening? We then managed to get on our flight. We get on our flight, our 45 minute flight back to London. That was delayed three hours. That was also delayed, which was a freaking nightmare. We then have to get on Avianca Airways all the way at 10.30 at night to Bogota. By this point, it's like 32 hours since we left. I've still got sick of my hair sorry to be disgusting but it's just not fresh I haven't brushed my teeth well that's rank because we were given a toothbrush so that's on you mate I fell asleep I went and bought us toothbrushes as well because I was already sick okay well I haven't brushed my teeth hadn't done anything for 32 hours you ate a whole bag of sweets so that's rotten no I haven't I haven't done anything then I'm like oh my god this is just so intense right now so we then we finally arrive in Panama City and it's like oh my god 34 hours later or 33 hours later we're in panama city no and then we go to get our luggage sophie's luggage comes out no sign of mine and i'm like are you kidding me yeah you actually fucking lose your shit i was gonna lose my shit i didn't have any clothes or anything like this is we're in panama city about to get our clothes i was like this is a good how what a fashionista jamie is yeah i'm wearing a track suit it's boiling it's 100 humidity and as we walk out outside.
21:05I'm like, what is that heat going on? There's no luggage, nothing at all. The airline had given me their phone number to call them. I'm like, it's something like out of meet the parents. Like, honestly, that's what I thought it was. I thought I was like Ben Stiller from meet the parents where he loses his luggage. I was like, this is just so insane. As we, as we step out into the boiling hot sun, Sophie looks at me and goes, by the way, no one comes, no one comes on holiday this, to here, this time of year. Normally everyone goes to Europe. And I was like, well, why is that because the humidity is so bad it was 100 % humidity yeah it was pretty it was 40 degrees and my hair was literally Monica from France I was like we then also tried to get a taxi with these guys who were obviously very sketched Jamie was like this don't go with them I was like oh sorry you're such a pussy we get in the taxi six of them follow us and I get in the taxi it's a random car and I speak Spanish to them I'm like can you take us to the nearest restaurant we've got two hours to kill because we couldn't get in food.
22:02Jamie won't go in the taxi with me, leaves me in there with them. He went, oh no, we're just going to wait for our friends. I was like, what's up? My bag's in there now. And he's like, too sketchy. Six of them follow us in the car. It's really scary. It was really not good. They were screaming. Their cars were not taxis. And we asked for this amazing restaurant. They say, take us to a really good restaurant to have breakfast. They take us to this restaurant called Nikos, which is in the airport. It's in the airport. We'll put a photo of what I aim. We had to pay$10. We could have walked there.
22:32We had to pay$10. Took us to this restaurant called Nikos. I'm sorry, I was so hungry at this point. Sophie ordered some pancakes, which I don't know what they looked like. They were delicious. And some meat. And when she was eating the meat, but anyway, Sophie's pretty much pescator, she's eating meat. She's going, I don't even know what meat this is. Nikos is the worst restaurant. I think it was dog and it scarred me for life. I've never tasted a meat like that. it was like pepperoni you know those like fake meat but yeah it wasn't good we then we then get on our flight final last flight to go to this island which we got our first into the honeymoon and we fly out there and we arrive there and it's pretty amazing when we get there it's pretty amazing yeah yeah it was amazing it was amazing well once we got there it was amazing but it took us 36 hours just like make sure you bring like a bat to whack off the mosquitoes because like, honestly, they're like, right on you.
23:31So we get to the island and we, I have no clothes whatsoever. Yeah. Nothing at all. So I just have to borrow all of the staffs. I have to borrow the staff's clothes while we're there. Yeah, but you quite liked it. Well, what I realised, right? What I realised is that never as a generation have we wanted so much but needed so little. I didn't need anything. Nothing. I didn't need anything. I used one dress. You used one dress. But did you have a fun time? I had the funnest time ever. I really did. I found it very funny. It was so funny. Yeah. I found it very funny. The breakfast was honestly the best.
24:08The bacon. Oh my God. You were obsessed with bacon this trip. Honestly, because I've never had bacon like it. It was like pure crisp. Yeah, it was just, honestly, the whole thing was divine. However, that's not the end of the honeymoon, guys. We then... Oh, I thought you were going to say we've got another one. I was like, have we? No. Well, no. But then we get on a flight, which was insane. we get on a flight and we fly to the Dominican Republic and the Dominican Republic was just as humid and just as hot but I had a really fun time there I had a really fun time there as well it was lovely what did you like more to which one did you like more be honest I think our circus I preferred really but minus the bugs the bugs the bugs were mental like I was literally eaten live and they gave us this bloody natural repellent which did it was honestly sugar and the bugs were like hello we then get to dominica republic and i'm going to give a shout out to british airways by the way because they were insane our flight again coming back from honeymoon got delayed again and it was changing all these different things we're like oh my god the klm nightmare this is insane and and we managed to get on a flight to british airways a direct flight back to the uk and the staff on the flight the the air stewards and the air hostesses were so nice that they gave us a little letter a little note to to say like we hope you had a good honeymoon we had heard that you had a really troubling time and then they gave it to us and we got a flight back and it was just amazing and that's the end of our honeymoon and that was the end of our honeymoon it was wonderful i slept the whole way you slept the whole way and that's when my jet life screwed up and now we're just back and we're exhausted but it's so sunny and gorgeous leading up to everything we've now done the wedding we've now done the honeymoon yeah this is when like i mean i i'm always feel like a little bit sense of like oh my god like what what happens now babies that's what that's what happens now get a house okay we can get a house yeah jamie got crossed because he was like i was buying a dress my sister's wedding he was like no we need to start saving for our kids and then he was like we need a full-time housekeeper to move in I was like you're delusional you wanted to move to Punta Cana yeah I did I wanted to move to Dominican Republic he was like I think we should live here I was like we don't own a house yeah but I thought it would be absolutely banging I just had the idea of us living on the beach what living in humid every day I can breathe that was so hot I honestly thought that living on the beach would be like the nicest thing that's what I've worked up for my honeymoon that I actually I just want to go and live on the beach and eat coconuts you didn't eat one of them Are you joking?
26:39Every time you said one, you were like, ugh, not for me. I ate void as I eat them. Sophie was so obsessed with coconuts. On the very first island that we went to on our honeymoon, she got a coconut, she drank it, and she asked me to try and open it for her. And I spent about an hour. I don't know how you open up coconuts without... With a big fat axe. But I didn't have an axe. So I had to use a little knife to do it. And then Sophie just kept shouting at me, break it on your head. Break it on your head.

31:27So it's worth just letting you know that. Oh, that's insane. That's so nice. Thank you guys. Thank you guys so much. We really feel the love. Can we also just say something as well? I remembered about the wedding. One of my great friends from Brazil, Cosi, he came to the wedding with his beautiful girlfriend. And Sophie spent the whole time having a conversation with her in Spanish. And she wasn't saying much. Sophie didn't realize that in Brazil, they speak Portuguese. Yeah. Not my finest moment. I was like, gosh, did I Spanish that bad? Or maybe she's just really shy. She's probably like, what is this girl doing?
32:07What is this girl doing? Okay, Jackie, let's have some listeners' questions. Okay, from Veronica. What did you find the most difficult to agree on about the wedding and how did you overcome it? The venue was really hard. Oh my God, the venue. That was the hardest thing to do. The venue and the budget. Well, not really the budget. Not really the budget. I don't think the budget, no. I can't. The venue is the hardest thing. The venue was hard, but we didn't disagree on it. It was just hard to find. We didn't disagree on much, I don't think. I think. I don't think you quite like the amount of flowers I got.
32:39No, the flowers though. My mum came up to me and she was literally like, well done on the flowers. She was like, they are the most insane thing. I tried to cut all the flowers out. I was like, we don't need those fricking things. Yeah, that was hard. music for us was really hard music was really hard yeah and I changed last minute the first dance to Ed Sheeran Perfect we didn't really disagree on much no we didn't the venue was really hard we actually had arguments about the venue yeah because we just could not find where to go that was the hardest thing to do for sure this is from Gaz did anyone get super drunk and do anything silly?
33:17did anyone get super drunk and do anything silly? I'm sure many people did on honeymoon I got absolutely hammered oh my god you're absolutely nailed i started talking to the only other couple on the island and they were like trying to pivot and he repeated the traveling story the flights were 10 times then i was so drunk that afterwards i apparently went for a massage i don't remember i just remember being woken up i was like have i just had a massage i could i honestly don't even remember that you were like absolutely wasted and i was sober like this isn't funny it was so intense yeah but I don't think anyone really got that drunk I think people did but I didn't notice yeah I've noticed a few but I'm not going to name any names did you notice people were drunk?
34:02oh yeah really? there was quite a few sharp edits in the last podcast episode really? yeah big time love that love that did anything go wrong in the planning? that's from Daisy Goodison oh my god I mean it's all been documented but anything maybe that you haven't talked about did anything go wrong Soph? a couple names were written wrongly on the invites like we got partners names wrong i tell you what goes wrong at weddings is that people back out like that's that's what happens and like i would say like 20 the weather on the sunday was not what we thought oh my god but no i would say that people backing out 20 of your guests back out i honestly think that's what happened so if you whatever amount of guests that you're having you've got to like take off 20 because so many of our guests like not so many but there was a lot of guests leading up to the wedding that suddenly couldn't make it or had to change or had to cancel and that is a nightmare that is a nightmare so for us guests don't shame all those guys no it's not it's not their fault like things come up or whatever but just as the people putting on the wedding it's like that's a hard thing to manage well in advance it's a hard thing to manage was there any drama on the day spill the beans from maddie was any drama in the day uh you're In your own bubble, you really just don't notice.
35:16I'm sure there was, but I think I got, we both got protected from it from like my bridesmaids. Like if there was, they scooped me away just like, so I didn't see it. Yeah, you didn't see it as much. So, and there was, you know what? There wasn't that much drama. It was a very, not that we're aware of. There wasn't that much drama going on. Jack's sniggering because I think he saw some drama, but. Did you see some drama, Jack? The producers see everything. Oh, okay. All right. I don't think there was too much drama going on. It was all right. I was just in my own little bubble of love. Was there a surprise standout moment of the wedding that you weren't expecting?
35:50That's from AB. Yeah, I mean... The speeches were pretty, really got me. Like your speech was really amazing. The speeches? Yeah. Yeah, I just, honestly, it's just everything. Like friends being there, family being there, speeches, the first dance, just, oh. When it went dark as well, I like took a look at the venue and I was like, wow, this is so beautiful. It's just the greatest time ever. It's just the most magical experience. And it just makes me want to put on a party. Why are you laughing at it? Because you just killed me. Why? It was. Yeah, it was really amazing. The speech is definitely mine.
36:31That was mine. I just the whole thing. Whole thing was just insane. I loved every minute of it. From Ed. Wedding looked incredible and very, very expensive. How much did it cost? Happy to take a ballpark figure. No. It wasn't in budget. Let's just say that. I don't know. Who knows? It's past now. I can't even remember. I want to block it out my brain. I can't even remember. Let's just say we can't buy a house at the moment. No, it's not. I don't know. Who knows? It is what it is. Okay, Stephen. Did you reserve any time on the wedding day to have sex like your friend did? We didn't. No, we didn't.
