The hosts answer listener dilemmas and riff on friendship/relationship boundaries, plus a “question of the week” about things people swore they’d never do again. Main segments: (1) a friend invited herself on a family sabbatical to Brazil; (2) whether to leave a nine-year relationship to take a London dream job; (3) long-term friends not supporting a new coffee shop’s TikTok engagement.
No named guests. The episode is hosted by the “Girl Talk” hosts (multiple women) who discuss the letters as peers, not professionals.
Self-advocacy matters—don’t let friends or partners overstep or block your dreams. If someone won’t move for you after you’ve sacrificed, it may be a compatibility issue. Small actions (liking/commenting/reposting) are easy ways to show support; repeated excuses can feel like neglect.

Well, the only youth I know is obviously Mariana. Yeah. And she's a working woman now. She's an adult. Yeah. She's an adult with a boyfriend and a job. But she doesn't go clubs. It's pubs and bars.

We could maybe leave that in January. and we've got here obsess over a 56 year old man yeah i think we could leave him in 2025 and that's the end of that well we live we learn we grow and we can't come we move on skill talk guys let's dive on in here we've got a coke zero i've got a diet coke i'm a diet coke i accidentally took a sip i accidentally opened to fit his diet coke and took a sip all right Mine is yours still.
13:36This is delicious. I actually left a Diet Coke in the freezer last night. I wanted to just flash freeze it. Okay. Flash freeze it to get cold. Ordered my attitude and it was warm. Nice. Accidentally left it in overnight. Do you know what happens when you leave a can in the freezer overnight? I didn't. No, I didn't. Well, it explodes. Did you know that? No. It explodes. What the fuck? What, the can exploded? Yeah, because then I went into the fridge. You've got shards of can in your freezer.

But just flash freeze. Flash freeze. For like half an hour, I think. These important life skills that we need to know. Yes. Because I used to, you know, if I lost a piece of toast in the toaster, I would dig in there with a fork and a knife. I didn't know that you weren't allowed to do that. Who knew that? No one told me that in life. My mum did tell me that, actually. So Fiona. No one told me that. And my brother told me that when he saw me doing it.
15:08Fiona is like a negligent mum. Yeah, my brother saw me doing it once and I was like, what? I always do. I've been living life like this for decades. Because that was one of my anxieties as a child. We had quite an old toaster. And then whenever it was like I could smell burning toast, didn't like that, got very anxious, had to turn off at the mains. god that's very woke of you to turn it off at the mains yeah well because then we can't have an electrical fire and i also wasn't sure about foil in the microwave you're not allowed foil in the microwave you're not really in the microwave because i remember once i was putting a jar of nutella which i used to do in the microwave to melt it a little bit and then one time i saw all this electricity like bolts and i was like whoa what's going on with my nutella but there was foil on the top of it please the microwave is one of the scariest things in the house scares me to death my soup always explodes in the mic sometimes i hear it go i'm like oh now i've got fucking vegetable soup all over my microwave i shattered my bowl in the microwave not long ago but that was because it was in it was in i think it was because it was a microwave safe bowl but because it had been in the fridge overnight it was freezing cold and then it just cracked couldn't handle the chart change in temperature awful well let's dive into the inbox let's
16:28Just before we get into it, quick disclaimer. Just to say, we are not doctors. We are not professionals. We do not actually know what we are talking about. This is a lighthearted space. Okay.

16:54Okay. If anyone's got a January holiday on the cards Very jealous That's a treat isn't it Bit of winter sun I do feel like January is the elite time of year to go away I agree I really do Because you're not missing much Because the Christmas blues You're treating the Christmas blues with a little Starting the year off with a bit of travel It's a big luxury Ticking somewhere off the list So we've got here Am I being selfish not wanting my friend to come on holiday? Okay Interesting Why would that be then? I guess we'll find out. Yes, we'll find out. Love the pod. I started listening at the beginning of last year when I was training for a half marathon.
17:32Slave. Get it, Sarah. Yes. So I've been with my Brian for 10 years. Wow. Living together for two. And we have decided to go on a sabbatical and travel South America for four months early this year. As we have both said, if we don't do it now, when will we ever? Gotta take a sabbatical. We are both 28 and want to get married and start a family soon. so it feels like the right time. My parents are going to come and meet us for two weeks whilst we are in Brazil, which I'm so excited for, as I am a homebody, so we'll inevitably miss them. When telling my friends our plans, my bestest friend, let's call her Sarah, said she was coming and flying out with my mum and dad.
18:11Okay. So she's invited herself. Right. She's like, well, I'm going to come. Right, okay. She dropped it so casually into the convo. I was shocked and confused as this was the first time I was hearing this. Right. I just replied, Are you? She then went on to explain that she had organized everything with my mum, what flights they were going to get, etc, etc. Whoa. Whoa. Okay. For a bit of background, Sarah is really close with my mum, sister, and my sister's children. They regularly do things together without me, as they often have days off together when I'm working. I don't mind this, however, often feel like a middle child in my own family, when in reality, I only have one sister.
18:53So she's maybe saying sometimes she wants her own time with her own mother. Yeah, I guess. And her own sister. Yeah, if she's always there or they're always doing things without her. Sarah will have really long phone calls with my mum and sister and go around to their houses without me and not letting me know until after. I would understand if she was lonely, but she has the biggest network of friends and a really great family. I brought up the subject. How did you meet Sarah? like how did Sarah come into the fold we seem to have skipped that I can only assume that she's been a childhood she's been a childhood friend so I guess I'm the Sarah and this is like Lydia writing this I brought up the subject of Sarah joining my mum and dad on this trip up to my mum and said I do not want her to come okay selfishly I just want to spend some time with my parents I wonder what your mum said then because the mum knew yeah and you knew I was coming because because if if if you invited yourself she would come straight to me and you would yeah but me and angie been chatting yeah um i want to spend time with my parents i never get them alone without my sister and niece and nephew yeah i also don't want brian to feel put out because if sarah came you know i'm gonna have to entertain her i know my boyfriend would be easygoing but if it was the other way around i wouldn't like his friend coming on what should be a family holiday i also voice that I feel left out a lot of the time and would prefer if they don't spend as much time all together because Sarah can often not be nice to me about different things, but then is happy to go and see my family, which doesn't sit quite right.
20:27That's bizarre. I recently found out that she has been on a series of dates with my cousin and didn't tell me. Wow. That's bizarre. That was a plot twist. She wants to be you. She wants to legitimately be in the family. I obviously have no problem with this, but was shocked to find out at a party from my cousin who presumed that I knew. And I'm confused as to why she wouldn't want me to know slash tell me. I've been losing sleep over this, really anxious because I don't want to tell Sarah not to come or lose the friendship as she is a great friend majority of the time. But I do feel like she has overstepped here.
21:05I think that's the word, she's overstepped, you know, by just inviting herself. I found out she was coming months ago. so now I feel I have left it too late to say anything. But I also don't want to leave it to chance because at this rate, she would just show it with my mum without telling me first. Am I being selfish, not wanting my friend to join my holiday? This is interesting. I've never really heard this before. I do believe she loves your family. She wants to legitimately be a part of the family, I think. Yeah. A reason why she's also dating the cousin. She wants to be in the fold. She wants to be bound by, you know, marriage and blood.
21:43Blood. I think. I'm going to sneeze. Pineapples. Pineapples. I wanted to get it out. Oh, sorry. That would have been a nice release. That's a key distraction technique. It will come, I'm sure. It will come again. Don't you think? Yeah. And she just, she loves your family and she's almost wanting to replace you. I do think it's... Do you think it goes that deep? because but you would say oh my god your cousins asked me on a date oh my god maybe fine oh my god we might we might be like i might be in your family because i'm getting the vibe that she is closer she is more your sister's friend than your friend but she's not she's your best friend well yeah and she's just because i'm thinking because you're saying like she often hangs out with my sister and my mum more than me so I'm thinking okay she's maybe she's more your sister's mate and then maybe she told your sister about the date and then she's thinking oh she'll tell her I don't know but maybe not I don't I don't it feels like an overstep to me and it feels a bit like yeah you're inviting yourself somewhere that you've not really been invited to but I guess it's not a problem with you coming but it's like you weren't really invited that's why Like, I don't know, my mum would be like, oh, are you sure you're okay with Sarah coming along?
23:06I know it was going to be nice to have some quality time. But obviously the mum's Betty Mays. But obviously the mum is none the wiser. She thinks they're all for it. I think you're within your right to say, oh, it's just going to be a family thing. And just say it. I think she might have booked it though. So sorry, you didn't. Cancel it. Sorry, my mum wasn't in her right mind when she agreed to it. She's not lucid. Yeah. and she unfortunately didn't um you know communicate that with me the organizer of the trip said organizer of said itinerary yeah yeah so unfortunately i do think it's overstepping i do think it's a little bit rude i think it's a bit presumptuous yeah i think maybe she feels like she's just thought oh i love them all like of course i'm welcome they've said i'm welcome like i don't think she's gone into it thinking that she's being rude or overstepping but i complete I would feel the same if I were you I'd be like whoa whoa whoa whoa like this is my trip my family's joining for two weeks I didn't invite you babes with how she's been feeling recently with the other things I think it's a crossing the line and you won't even have a good time because the whole time you'll be thinking all of all these things you'll be anticipating her arrival and it's not personal it's not that I don't like you I just didn't invite you on this trip it's not a vibe it's a family trip not everything has to be you know everyone everything we're not going to invite everyone everywhere exactly it's a time and a place Sarah I think you can say like oh Brazil is not not for you it's not a friend thing unfortunately no room at the inn yeah i think you can say that i think you i think this is the instance where you need to stand up it's 2026 speak we're gonna stand up for ourselves this year guys absolutely
24:48all right sarah here says help do i leave my boyfriend of nine years for my best friends Nine years Shit That's a long time So it sounds like a Friends aren't liking The boyfriend situation But you're like Babe it's been nine years Right Hey girls Wanted to start off By giving you both Your flowers Saying how much I love you both In the pub That's very nice That's very kind Thank you Sarah I listen all the time Honestly the only thing That stops me yapping All day in the office And actually gets Some work done I'd love your perspective On a dilemma Which is honestly Keeping me up at night Buckle up Let's get it For some background, me and my Brian have been together for almost nine years now and have lived together for the last three years.
25:31Oh, that's lovely. We had a little bit of a rocky start, but now we are so good. We genuinely love and understand each other so deeply. And I really believe we are each other's person. We've talked about engagement and our future children, but it's not the right time financially for that, for that, for either of us. on the whole i love our life but the one drawback is that we currently live about three hours away from where all my best friends from home and uni live in london oh i visit them once a month or two but i always have so much fomo for the plans i have to miss and genuinely really really miss having my girl gang around me all the time every time i go to london everyone is begging me to move there of course which of course i would love to do so let's think where do we live if we're three hours away we're in manchester we're in manchester it's pretty far yeah actually we're liverpool yeah liverpool newcastle yeah because the train to manchester is two and a half hours so liverpool is maybe a bit further yeah yeah yeah um we love liverpool the issue is so your mates all live in London you see them once a month they're like you gotta move and did you used to live in London or they all congregated in London well she says it's like best friends from home and like uni friends live there so maybe yeah we were uni-ing down there oh that's really tough the issue is is Brian is quite against moving to London he had quite a rural upbringing so isn't particularly bothered about living in a big city and also thinks it's just expensive he likes his wellies he likes what?
27:09his wellies his wellies yeah He's a country boy. He's a country boy. Likes his fresh air, likes his green space. Yeah, so isn't particularly bothered about living in a big city and also thinks it's just expensive for the sake of it and would rather save money living elsewhere. He also has a very solid friend group where we currently live. It's nice for him, isn't it? Well, I'm glad you've got your mates. Exactly. When we've discussed it before, I've been so fine to stay where we are, as I do think his reasons are fair. I also have been Happy to sacrifice Being super close To my best friends If it means He can be close to his Aww What It just annoys me That I'm gonna say You gotta make sacrifices In a relationship I know But But it's like Yeah you're fine Yeah You know I wanna stay here too Before my mates were here You know when I'm sacrificing My social life For your social life As a typical boy I think they'd hardly see each other If they weren't All in the same place I also quite enjoy My current job and the friends I have made there.
28:09Okay, so it's not all bad. Yeah. My contract and my current job is ending soon. So I've been looking around for my next one. Initially, I was looking in my city as I'd kind of settled on not moving. But there was really nothing. So I decided to just check and see what's in London. Here we go. For research purposes, of course. What's going on in the big smoke? I saw an advert for what probably is my dream job. Oh, shit. Yeah, we're having a breakup there now, aren't we? Oh no, Sarah. Well, yeah, because we're not putting our dreams on pause for the sake of a boy and his mates, unfortunately. And his wellies.
28:44I saw an advert. It's 2026. Exactly. And what are we doing? We're following our dreams. We're not getting any younger, that's for sure. We're not letting a man. We're already giving you nine years. Come on. We're not letting a man hold us back from our fucking dreams and moving to the big smoke. And also, you've got to really put the pressure on and think, if you actually would let me walk away, because you wouldn't move three hours down the road, just a mere hop skip and a jump for me then you have a person also like i've been here for three years for you and you know in the city that is your city with you and your friends if you love me you'll come and do that for me for a few years but a role reversal exactly like it's my dream job i've got a you know grab the light grab life by the horns um it's my dream job wow i've always wanted to live my corporate girly whirly dreams romanticizing cute office fits work from home days etc coffee on the way farmer j for lunch farmer j for lunch night drinks after work blank street margarita after work yeah blank street on the way into the office yeah little lunch meeting yeah new little journal new little notebook little pink pen love it these kinds of My own desk.

These kind of jobs are really rare in my field of work. Oh, shit. Okay. so seeing this one come up was really unusual it's a sign it is a sign isn't it i've always talked about wanting to work for this specific company wow so i just thought fuck it i'll apply yes has she got the job i'm going to assume so yes oh my god we've not read on yet it somehow snowballed with me getting invited to the first interview then the second then going into the office for a tour an in-person interview i told myself i was just doing it for the plot and live the fantasy for a bit oh my god sarah yeah shit but i really love the vibe there i could really see myself there where did i rise where did brian think you were going then just see your mates yeah really you're going into the cityst paul's fast forward yesst paul's big city fast forward to now where i've somehow ended up being offered the job Sarah oh sorry Blueberry Sarah congratulations I'm so excited for you wow new year new job new pencil skirts let's get it let's get on ASOS let's brush up on our photocopying skills and our Excel spreadsheets and let's get to work let's get some new pens let's get a diary obviously this has left me in a bit of a sticky situation you need to get yourself Grace Beverly's planner absolutely get productive for the year get organized um so obviously this has left me in a bit of a sticky situation which brings me to my dilemma the office requires three days in person yeah and i wouldn't be able to commute from home without moving to london let me just have some water so you're thinking i could commute three days a week by the time you've left the office at six you ain't man You might be leaving at 6.
32:14You might be leaving at 7.30. You might be leaving at 8. By the time God out, 6, 7, 8. We're not home till 9, 10. It's far too late. In the doors at half 10. It's far too late. To be up and on the train at 5am. It's that's... It's not going to happen. Not even 5. 6, 7, 8. Well, yeah. Yeah. That's fine. No, pas possible. No, so no pas possible. Well, we're moving to London. Where are you going to live? Absolutely. Well, I think we're just going to move in with the friends. Move in with the friends. Start with this. Brilliant. Yes, sir. so the office requires three days in person and I wouldn't be able to commute from home without moving to London I have talked to Brian right come on Brian it's time to step up about this okay this is your moment okay wait wait wait he is super supportive of me going as he knows that this would be a great job of me going for me yeah I'm not sure what he means by going that didn't sound like a us nine year but he said he wouldn't want to move
33:09so i sacrifice for you and you can't sacrifice for me disappointing he has suggested that i go that i should just go and we could live separately again in our respective friendship groups are you joking that's what he said nine years and you're telling me to just go no what yeah i'm the mother of your children what do you mean just go what yeah i would be in so that would make me furious yeah i'd be dining out on that for months just go for me it's like okay so i'm not going to tesco babes i'm going to live three and a half hours away so it's all fine when you know i'm sacrificing things for you and moving for you and look you even said that i'm happy to sacrifice where i live so that he's with his friends yeah so you're happy to do that and then he's not happy to do it for you for a few years like that's what pisses me off it's just like the audacity yeah it's ridiculous go please it just that's just like typical i'm the love of your life soulmate of nine years yeah and you're happy you should be cross you should cross cross oceans for me yeah what about just go you should say oh my god let's do it like right here we go then next chapter let's just it's our new life here we go so i'll find another job down tell the kids about this one day yeah new era yes i'd like to maybe raise children in the countryside but doesn't mean we can't spend plenty of time for that two or three years in the big smoke yeah we can have city children so like Sarah Jessica Parker did exactly Monica Geller did actually no she didn't no she didn't Jennifer Aniston did yeah well Rachel Green Rachel so it's just that's yeah but he's being supportive it's hard to no that's not support in my opinion I know but but I know what you mean she's not thinking she's gonna break it with me yeah yeah yeah on one hand this would obviously give you the chance to live with my besties again and live out my London corporate girly dream.
35:03But then I go back to doing long distance with Brian again, which after nine years is not something I'm super keen on as it feels like a step back in our relationship. Yeah, I understand. I also don't know how long this would necessarily last. For example, what if he never wanted to move to London and I never wanted to move out? Exactly. And what if you just keep climbing, climbing, climbing? Wow, now I've made partner. I'm the youngest partner in the firm. Because I fear... I'm the youngest partner in history. Well, yeah. Can't go back now. I fear when Sarah gets to London, and starts thriving in a job you're not gonna want to leave you're gonna want to stay there in this dream company or move on to another that's you know this is your dream job in london in that in that corporate office so it's like you're not gonna wanna do it for a year and then go back no you're not gonna wanna because i'm also allowed to have my dream career as a woman too brian yeah i don't have to just live where you want to live because that's where you want to live with your with your boyfriends so for example if he never wanted to move to london and i've i never wanted to move out is this just a breakup in slow motion we have survived long distance in the past where we didn't see each other for about a year during covid shit i know a year well i guess it was covid it was the rules fuck but i honestly don't know how i feel about doing this again and i'm worried i'd be in the same position as i currently am going back and forth and hating it well yeah because it's like yeah because where's i don't want to be going back and forth like you're my boyfriend like come move with me also where's the longevity in that like okay it's not even like he's saying okay you move first you get settled you know let's do long distance you're in about a year's time then out like there's no there's not even any sort of like he's not even open to it but also it's just what we're just gonna live our life we're just gonna live what we'll send the kids on the train he's not even saying like there's no like by summer let's do a review no um see how we're finding it i might be more open to moving yeah you know because obviously i don't want to be apart from you seven days week like there's no it doesn't even seem like he's got any leeway no it doesn't is it also a bad idea financially to move to london when i want to think about saving for a house house schmouse like let's go follow the dreams let's follow our dreams like can buy a house when we're 50 exactly life to be lived is it silly to turn down this job and chance to scratch the London itch it is silly to turn it down I think it's silly to turn it down I think they've offered you the job for a reason it's clearly the universe timings this job doesn't come around a lot it's your dream job yeah you weren't even meant to look it was all it was all meant to be that was meant to be you got the job you're going you're going so I think pack your bags let's just book your ticket forget Brian for now let's just move to London moving with the besties and start the job one thing at a time In the new year, which we are in currently, so in a couple months, review the situation.
37:50How are you feeling? How is it working? Is he more open to, yeah. Maybe by Coachella, you know, April time. Marking, yeah. Like Coachella time, yeah. When it's Coachella season, you know, Bieber fever. Let's regroup. Yeah. Let's put a marker in, you know, whether it's the 1st of April, the 1st of May, the 1st of June. Let's put a marker in for an evaluation. I agree. And a reflection. Just for yourself, Sarah. Yeah, just how have you been feeling? How have you found the long distance? Where's your head at with the relationship? Do we have any future plans for how this is going to no longer be long distance?
38:28How have I felt being away from you? Let's have some reflection time. Because at the end of the day, if I want to live in London and he wants to live in the countryside, the Scottish Highlands. It ain't going to work. It's not going to work ever because I want to be here and you want to be there and it's not it's not going to work no and like I would be unhappy up there you would be unhappy down here apparently so maybe we're just not compatible anymore she says I've absolutely no idea what to do and honestly just need some proper advice sounds dramatic but I feel like I'm at a crossroads where I'm deciding the direction of my truly of my life it is and I think your dream is London and this job that's I believe where you're going me too to be honest lots of love sorry for total brain dump pics attached So this is the besties.
39:15Aww. This is all the besties. I think the London besties. God, you're going to have a great time. Oh, God. Look at the girls. They look like a lot of fun. And this is Sarah and Ryan. Gorge. You're beautiful and he's just there. He's just there. Yeah. Yeah. You're beautiful and he's there too. Yeah. Okay. Well, Sarah. Enjoy London. See you around, babe. Yeah. See you soon. Meet you for a coffee. We'll take a trip to St. Paul's. Absolutely. We'll come visit you. On your lunch break. Yeah. one thing that I just I know we've kind of said it all already but one thing I really don't want you to do is to not go for your dreams because of this man because he is holding you back in this instance exactly and I also think like I know that like everyone's living their own life or whatever but if you have been together for nine years and he doesn't want to jump at the chance to move to London the fact that he wouldn't do that for you I know it's not an easy thing to ask someone to move to a different city but also like we live in the uk you can get everywhere by train in a day it's not like we live in la and i'm asking you to move to new york and also sorry how often do you have to see your friends brian your little boyfriends like you can get the train back to see him once a month if you want like i do think that it's really disappointing that he is letting you move away after nine years and isn't happy to come with you on this journey He's not even willing to consider it.
40:40He's not even entertaining it. He's not saying I'll move for a little bit and I might move back. He's not saying you move first, then I'll come. And yeah, you know, if he had kids in this city or if he had this job, it doesn't sound like he's got much tying him to where you live currently apart from his mates. And I would be really disappointed if my partner of nine years wouldn't move for me when I'd done something for them. When I've sacrificed my whole friendship group for you for three years. Yeah. I would be really sad that he, it's really sad that he's almost like, like to me, he's letting you go.
41:13That's what I think. He is letting you go. The relationship go, everything go by saying, yeah, you go then. You go and do that. Like, what? Aren't you going to fight for me? Don't you want to be with me? Do you not want to be with me every day? Are you not devastated at the thought of not being together every day? We live together for God's sake. Like, how can we then go to long distance after nine years? I think you should go. you're going don't stay for him because he's not willing to move for you and i think that's really disappointing and i just think it's just because i'm a country boy there's green spaces in london yeah go to batsy park like yeah there was a lot of green spaces and fountains you could even like even like london and surrounding areas yeah sorry sorry hertfordshire yeah richmond you can get into london in 20 minutes richmond i think is london but yeah but you could live there well yeah exactly but the surrounding areas you could be in London in 20 minutes I know you know you could be at St.
42:08Paul's in 20 minutes by train yeah no not Avanti West Coast wrong train cross country rail bank there she goes Thameslink whatever it is yeah yeah yeah so yeah he's cut he's cut unless he wants to move yeah come on let's experience something also like Brian like you've only got one live let's go and experience experience something for three years or whatever like come on come i know like you're just gonna stay up here just so you can be by fucking max tom and lucas absolutely those weirdos like and what if they move for their girlfriends oh yeah exactly this is moving to scotland exactly they're moving away for their boyfriends yeah girlfriends or boyfriends yeah exactly absolutely right good luck sarah enjoy london see you there yeah see you around Pro football is back, and so are the predictions.

44:19Okay, next up we have, my long-term friends won't even do me a simple favor. Uh-uh. Hey, girly pops, love the podcast. I'm writing in as I had a bit of an argument with my friends Buckle up, maybe a long one For some backstory We've been friends for a long time We have a group chat that we speak in most days About anything So a couple of months ago I bought my coffee shop That I've been running for the past few years Wow Sarah Congratulations, what a great start to the year It's been my lifelong dream To own my own coffee shop And now I'm 29, I finally set the wheels in motion This is so nice this is my dream in another life that's my dream i feel to own like a juice bar called smoothie bar yeah we do coffee yeah we have special yeah matcher of the day we've got the banana bread matcher special on right now so i've been putting a lot more work in on social media to try and help advertise i've been posting tiktoks which is quite new for me and always worry that they won't do well social media is huge for our target audience so any extra views can help massively yeah with the new flavors it's very key isn't it you have a cafe it blows up on TikTok all the girlies are there it's like the Nitro Bar in America have you seen that one I always see their TikToks it's somewhere random in America it's blowing up is it blew up yeah always see their TikToks they're like so Sarah what was the most popular drink of the weekend and she's like other registrar she's like let me check we sold 240 of the banana bread Nitro cold brew coffees Nitro yeah Nitro brew with the white chocolate you know and she's like let's make it and try it and it's like i want it i'll see life goals on a few separate occasions i've sent a message into this group chat asking for a like and comment and repost on these videos come on and what they cannot do that on the coffee page account they can't do that you can't repost surely not you can't give me a comment yummy okay give me two comments you can't even comment and Like, no.
46:21Hater. No, especially, I've asked you. I've asked you. I've put it in the chat. No. Like, comment on my new post. Just post it, go comment. It's really our chat. Just post it, go comment. Give me at least three comments, girls. Come on. Let's get it going. Give me three comments. It's a bit slow today. No, but that's crazy. Double tap, double tap. I fear have they even been into the fucking coffee shop? That's a good question. I didn't really clock it at the time, but after going back and finding these messages, I realized I got ignored each time and although they usually like the videos right they never comment or repost right I understand everyone is busy and if people don't like my stuff I don't care I quite often forget to like things too you know it's not that deep however on these occasions I've specifically linked a video and asked so I do find it a bit strange that it's been ignored on one of these occasions related like we're in the local area like I know your followers for goodness sake.
47:18Your followers are all people who live in the area. I'm just trying to get some engagement here. I literally said, please comment and repost this. I beg. I got ignored. So a few hours later, I said, should I just talk to myself? And one of my friends replied, yes.
47:38Wow. It would kick off if we spoke like that in the sister's chat. Yes. I'm going to use that one. It's so rude. I just talked to myself. No, deep how rude that is. Yes. The other day, I posted a new video and sent it in the chat asking for a repost or comment. I basically got a no because she had already come off TikTok and was busy now. She also said it's because her account only shares dog content. Oh, Sarah. Come off it. The dog is a cafe friendly dog friendly cafe. after a few minutes going back and forth i gave up the amount of time it took her to explain why she couldn't she could have just gone and commented ridiculous for me it's really not a big ask sorry my tiktok time's over and such a simple way to help a friend out it's so easy like it's the easiest thing you could do it takes like please there is no excuse for that it takes two seconds so i'm really baffled by why you'd make several excuses not to do that they basically got defensive and said i was accusing them of not being supportive which i wasn't but also but but you you wouldn't have to defend yourself and say that if you just went and reposted and gave it a little comment just comment just comment yum tasty and some pink hearts can't wait to try yeah on my way what about some you know new flavor suggestions yeah or love you know love this flavor um however i find it so strange they ignore me blah blah blah i felt outnumbered in the group chat something that i thought was so simple has been blown out of proportion if i'm honest i've always felt like they thought they were better than me and now i wonder if they just don't like me as much as i thought they did that's not a normal feeling to have i fear it's not a normal sentiment also a few weeks ago i was meant to be going around for a takeaway to one of their houses.
49:33I unfortunately cancelled last minute, which isn't like me. However, I was burnt out with work. Any free time I had was spent cleaning, working on social media or just being busy with things I couldn't get out of. Prepping the cold foam, I imagine. So that evening, I really just wanted to lay in bed and relax. I apologised for this. The next time I saw them was at a baby shower, which I hosted free of charge at my coffee shop. My fiancé worked making coffees for 17 people. We did not charge for his time doing this. He worked for free out of the goodness of his heart. My friend whose baby shower it was did not make eye contact with him or say hello, which I found very rude.
50:08What is going on girls? At the baby shower, I apologized again for bailing on the takeaway. They did not say a word, just kind of mumbled. I then said, I felt so much better for just laying in bed. Again, nothing. There was no, you know, it's okay. We understand, which I thought was off as they know I've been working 60 plus hour weeks if i can go out of my way to host a baby shower stay behind wash all the pots help out with decorating bake cupcakes for this event when i'm already super busy how can she not take 20 seconds to write a comment for me it's principle it's not even 20 seconds they say they're not trying to sabotage my coffee shop which of course i know they're not but a simple bit of engagement may help a video reach a wider audience which would help me as this is my sole income if the coffee shop does not make money we have no other money coming in so every customer matters they also said things like take a step back and look around you you're working too much which i understand probably comes from a good place but it just seems very out of touch with what's going on i'm trying to build up my coffee i'm open seven days a week like i do everything behind the scenes i bake for the shop before we even open sometimes as early as 5 a.m yeah it's just what you have to do at the start of a business i've had friends that have spent hours handing out leaflets with me for nothing, friends and family that share and comment on multiple posts, so you would think my oldest friends would help too.
51:30I think I've misunderstood the friendship we have had. Over the years, we've definitely changed, and I don't even know if there is a friendship left if a comment has caused such a big deal. I think we need your at, Sarah. Ah, if you want to stalk my coffee shop. Right, here we go, guys. Oh, here we go. oh my god she's attached the screenshots of what the just the messages being ignored look at that gorgeous matcha terry's chocolate orange flapjacks in the shop today fucking hell oh sarah right i think i know what's happening here i think i also know what's happening here they're just jealous that you've got a thriving business i think jealous that you followed your goals and doing something really cool and creative like you know you're your own boss you're cooking your baking you've got loyal customers it's really cool space that i they it doesn't give the impression that they are proud of you happy for you rooting for you supporting you that they're not because i know you're like oh you know it's just you know social media it's not a big deal like it is a big deal though in in this day and age like it is you know one of your like cafe videos you know a couple of them going viral on tiktok it is game changing like that's what it is these days and yeah like getting your friends to you but you shouldn't even have to ask your friends to comment like they know that would support you they know that would help they know that would just be beneficial so while you're having to like beg and ask and then they're getting defensive and like and then just like trying to make you feel silly for asking them to do that like no I think unfortunately they are seeing you do something cool and something different you're passionate about and something different and something that could be hugely successful for yourself something that is your dream like you're living your dream in your coffee shop your own coffee shop and they kind of like i get the vibe that they would be quite happy if it failed and crumbled and went under like they don't they don't give me any sort of vibe that they're rooting for you or they're proud of you because they're not acting like they are in to like spend yeah are they coming in at the weekend like coming by to try those delicious chocolate orange yeah bars that's amazing they should be wanting to come in and get a drink and like pay for the baby shower because or at least like contribute because they want to support your new business.
54:05And like telling like friends and family, you've got to go check out my friend's coffee shop if you're in the area. Like that's just bare minimum of my fear. And also like the liking and commenting, bare minimum of my fear. But unfortunately, some people can only be happy for you when they feel like you're not doing better than them. The minute that they think, oh, she's doing better than me, whatever that means, they can no longer be happy for you. Exactly. And I think unfortunately that's what you're realizing in this instance. It's very clear to see. You're thriving. You're following your dreams.
54:38You took a risk with your coffee shop and they're seeing it's doing really well and they don't want it to do well. Yeah. So they're not going to support you. Because they know a repost or a coffee, you know, it's going to help you out. Yeah. And then they're like not even acknowledging what you've done on the baby shower. That's just rude also. It is really rude, yeah. And two, like, give us, you know, give us 20 quid eat. I don't know. No, like just something to tag us. At least say thank you. Thanks. I'm sure we'll post a pic. Because like, you know, we made 20 coffees and that's not cheap. And like, you know.
55:07And my fiance worked all day for free. Literally. Just to help. I was up baking all night. Disappointing. I think that's what it is, to be honest. Yeah, me too. Unfortunately. But I mean, good luck in all the future endeavors. If we're ever in the air, we'll definitely pop by. Absolutely. Seriously, your homemade baked goods. The festive sausage rolls. I guess we won't be doing those now. It's January. No, but every day she's baking something new and fresh. Yeah. And I can see the passion, Sarah. Good luck, Sarah. And congratulations. It's a huge achievement. It is. What the heck? Like goals. Goals.
55:39Truly.
55:44Feel we need the FBI on the case. NYPD. Freeze Punk. Hey, Sophie. Oh, hey. And Chintzia. Huge fan of the podcast. I love the makeover. Thank you, Sarah. Oh, thank you, Sarah. Congratulations on Vrooms as well. Pieces are gorgeous. Thank you, Sarah. Thank you, Sarah. That's very kind. I have a dilemma. My best friend... Oh, I didn't read the tagline. Best friends catfishing and blocking me from her story. Whatever that bloody means. So she hates you. Catfishing. Blocking from your story. Catfishing. So she's being a catfish. She's being someone else. And she's hiding you from her story so you don't see.
56:25Oh my God, that's crazy. She's getting up to. Wait, what? I have a dilemma. My best friend, also we have one, two, three, four, five, six attached images. Oh my God, we've got receipts. I have a dilemma. My best friend is posting pictures that aren't her on her Instagram story. I'm blocking me and a few of my other friends from seeing them. What?
56:52That's crazy. A few weeks ago, my sister asked. Do you remember? this is so niche but it's something that I just keep remembering I mean shout out to Catfish the show like what a show yeah shout out do you remember when that girl at school go on was posting pictures of this boy on Facebook that she found on Google Images saying it was her boyfriend from America yeah I fear everyone has experienced that everyone has experienced that someone lying that they've got a boyfriend who's in America who's in America honestly that they met over summer yeah that I think everyone has that story I do she found pictures I think that's a universal experience it is isn't it because it was like it was just like the internet was new you could google and find like you know what i mean like it was a new age of like google images was like new yeah so she'd just find a picture of go yeah she found a picture of this boy from like tumblr i guess and then she put the picture on her facebook like yeah it was just a random guy she found on facebook i think yeah something like that like oh my baby like and we were like whoa she's got a boyfriend he's really fit who is this guy yeah yeah and then um we saw her at school and we were like what the hell's going on there like who is that and she was kind of cagey like oh it's just you know my my boyfriend and we were like whoa like proper tumblr boy like beanie gorgeous like gorgeous like looks like justin bieber yeah like truly and um yeah he was just a boy from google images like a tumblr image yeah just turns out to be a lie i honestly think that's a universal experience it's gotta be hasn't it i i do especially for like our age yeah because that internet was so new you can't really do that now no because we can uh reverse image search anyone yeah and people will start moving like that i don't think but yeah it was like believe how else would i get this picture well exactly like we we knew nothing better catfish wasn't even a term no wasn't even a no no so a few weeks ago my sister asked if it was susan on her Instagram.
58:51What is she doing? Does she not know that people know what she... She obviously thinks by blocking... But is she blocking everyone? A few friends. Obviously didn't block Sarah's sister here, I'm assuming. Which replied, what story? Because I can't see anything. Classic. See, think about the finer details, Sarah. Think about it, guys. My sister's not blocked. Think about it. Come to find out I was blocked from seeing her story. My sister liked the story and shortly after she was blocked too She forgot to block off Too late, already screenshot it The next few days she again posted this time The next few days she again posted this time my sister's friends were able to see her story Is she stupid?
59:35Get your facts straight and get your stories straight And it was of her doing Pilates This is me coded Except it wasn't actually her Oh my god What, so it's just another mystery blonde? and has she AI'd it? I mean, it's kind of smart. It's very smart. She's not had to leave her house and she's made out like she's got Pilates. I'm going to do that. Pinterest blonde girl doing Pilates. Yeah, that could be me. It's quite bad on my story. Yeah, it's a fear, yeah. She again posted, again, my sister's friend showing me the posts as I'm still blocked from seeing her story. However, she will unblock me when she posts her actual self.
1:00:11Yes, okay, yeah. Classic. her most recent post she faked tagged our other best friend who also can't see her story her most recent post she faked tagged our other best friend who also can't see her story right okay we don't know how to approach to make out like she's like what does that mean fake tag so like Pinterest blonde and brunettes from the back at blah blah blah oh right right right so she did it for you so it's like me posting a picture of a blonde and a brunette well she's trying to make it look more authentic it's like me in a random brunette yeah that could be chintz at chintz you made the song yeah right got it you know you've not seen it because I've not actually tagged you but you know for my new audience it will look of course they won't know they'll be none the wiser I don't know how to approach to ask her what's going on if she's trying to get someone's attention why is she fake posting pictures of herself and why is she blocking us she's in a relationship of seven years so I don't want to think what's her boyfriend say she's i bet he's blocked too i bet it's everyone she knows who's in real life yeah
1:01:22seven years so don't don't want to think she's trying to get someone's attention or just trying to show off or pretend to others what she's up to would love some advisors generally have no clue how to go about addressing this my sister's friend put the pictures on chat gbt and these can be found in pinterest oh she's getting them from pinterest smart i've attached the pictures of her and let's see the post she put up that aren't her yeah and also some pictures of the real her the girl with dark hair i'll to explain but we just know it's not her yeah i get it i get it i know what she's doing right so this is the pilates pick let's see this is this is not her she's put happy monday this is my happy place 9am 9am with yeah i mean i'm i'd been on the wiser this looks like her at pilates oh yeah yeah a nice little set yeah nice set yeah brunette from the back we called it so it's a faceless shot right let's have a look at these attached images then

1:03:41Oh, and then this is her. This is her. So they're saying that those aren't, that's not her. Yeah, it's not her. Right. Oh, oh, we've got more pictures of just her. Sorry. She's going on Pinterest and just using pictures of other brunettes with their phone in front of their face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or pictures from the back. Yeah, that ain't her, babes. Yeah. I mean, she's beautiful, but it's your insane person. And just acting like it's her. And she thinks she's getting away with it. She thinks she's cracked the code. Yeah. How interesting. Why? She's been in a relationship for seven years. Yeah, like what's the purpose of that?
1:04:20There could be someone new that she's trying to get the attention of on Instagram. There could be. And she feels like she has to put on this fake persona of what she's up to and how she looks, unfortunately. Yeah. That's what it is with the majority of like the catfish cases is that they don't feel... from watching the show. It's like a not wanting to be themselves thing. They'd rather be this other person. Would rather be this other person. And if other people think they are this person, it makes them feel good. It's the same thing. It's that boost. It's that same boost. Hmm. I think I would just call her out.
1:04:57Especially if she thinks she's getting away with, it's a brunette and a brunette. Realistically, yeah, I could go on Pinterest and find a picture of a brunette from the back and go, Pilates. Pilates, my new big book. You know. Exactly. uh block you from it and just let all the followers think wow wow look at that
1:05:17what do you think i've been doing over christmas the surgeon's office of course of course we have uh yeah i mean yeah it's probably a call around because also like it's your best friend and let her know you're not getting away with this yeah but they shouldn't like it and also if i've figured it out other people will too yeah it's you're actually take a picture of parties like we can go on yeah like you're actually looking out for her yeah it's like let's say this was Lydia it's embarrassing like what is she doing we'd have to say something it doesn't look like you Lydia look I'm not fucking stupid you're blocking me from my story you're leaving everyone else on it and it's not you it's not you like what are you doing yeah in this instance you have to call her out I think I would just let I know that you're looking out for her yeah because otherwise other people you know look whatever I've noticed like I don't care you do whatever you want but other people are gonna see that this isn't you yeah and then they're gonna think that you're being also like why are you blocking me like i don't care i know like let me in like put it in the group chat you think i can get away with this one that's what like come on like that's funny yeah can i get away with this yeah like uh yeah i think so zoom it in a bit more then yeah put a blur on it yeah like maybe just crop that shoe out because i know you ain't got that yeah yeah like you could just why doesn't she bring you into the fold yeah like that's why is she trying to hide it that's what's weird like you could probably help her find some better ones yeah like i found this one you could definitely go over this like use that yeah that are more realistic yeah i would just let her know that you kind of know and then just maybe just ask what's going on what's up yeah i can help if you want me to come to platos with you and take some cute pics like let's go and get what's this all about that's really fun little saturday thing yeah you don't need to feel like you're i don't know maybe try and like actually chat to her about it because yeah and not make her feel like bit odd not try not make her feel embarrassed about it try and just be like gorge pick like but is that you sarah i don't think that no but just be like oh who is do you know this girl who is it yeah because like is that have you got that sack can i borrow it you know and see yeah where is this pilates do it looks really nice yeah like where is that yeah can i come yeah i want to go on that reformer was this restaurant yeah who did you go with scoop dress yeah and i i think chat to her just yeah i think i get one as well i know i would chat to her about it i think she you need to be like you don't need to block me like i'll help you if you want like bring me in i can scout some content on pinterest if you want it if you're on some sort of side mission like yeah let me know like let's rally this together yeah but yeah interesting well I know well I think chat to her me too don't let her keep doing it because I don't want other people to figure it out and then well it's embarrassing yeah I think chat to her see what's going on yeah what she's up to yeah let us see the light a little bit I kind of just let her know that what's going on we know that's not you yeah it's very clear yeah because sometimes you look you can be delusional and think you're getting away with something yeah so maybe she's just like a lot yeah it's a love it's tough love it's like babes come on yes we love you but that's not you yes and just see are you chatting to someone what's going on what's going on is everything okay with Brian yeah also like I fear let's find one girl and keep using the same girl exactly because these three different girls look completely different they've just all got brown hair that's probably smarter I think that's more consistent if we want to keep this up which look I support you whatever you want to do let's find one female let's find one and use all her picks yeah because the inconsistency is not helping our case here.
