This week your new best friend @Carlthompson is back, and he’s answering some of your burning questions. Have you ever wondered if guys actually care if you wait 30 minutes to reply? Do you care if men are bothered by your success? (We vote you shouldn’t) And actually, do many men even get the ick? The girls share some of their icks, their red flags, and as always some true stories of their encounters with the male kind.
If you weren’t crushing on Carl from our last episode, prepare for that to change as he bumbles his way through reassuring us that male nights out are not as they seem on TV.

OKAY SO SPOILER ALERT, let's get that out there from the off.
This week Emily is in Paris, we're in Essex and Gemma learns Eastenders is not a reality show (just kidding). Sometimes you just need to chat a little sh*t with your friends, and that is precisely what we did - though as usual we jump from the shallow to the deep real quick so grab your scuba suits and your snacks ladies and gents.

Trump has Covid, Gemma has braces, and are we done with filters now?
This week the girls chew the fat on getting braces as an adult, and debate fillers and filters. There's no fuckboys this week (if we aren't counting our world leaders) just some good ol' fashioned natter. Grab yourself a beer and a pizza, because this is easy listening for an easy evening and doesn't that sound nice.

Oooh baby baby it's a loooong one. And it comes as no surprise. This week the girls are talking about expectations, the kinds we set upon ourselves and the kinds our grandma keeps asking about. Why are you still single? Don't you want kids? YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SAVINGS?! Spoiler alert - we say f*ck that, f*ck that and f*ck that. Tune in for a long ol' chat about life and a little exploration between friends.

After a short hiatus, the girls are back, and joined by the incredibly real @Emmatamsinhill. We're talking 'bout sex bay-bee. Part one...of one hundred. Because can you ever really get enough of chatting about the nasty? We think not.
Let us all say a lil prayer to whomever we worship (even if it's still Peter Andre) that our parents are not subscribers.

Times are changing, we're no longer staying at home, we're staying alert. We're online all the livelong day, and trolls are at a peak. We can't get waxed, and we're reaching for the Venus. We still can't drink in a pub garden, but we're sure as sh*t ordering carbs.
This episode we got mad, real mad - sorry about that... But in a lockdown world a girl's gotta rant with her friends, and in this episode the girls enjoy a little venting with some giggles.
Get riled up with us, take us on your run, let's sweat it out.
(running is optional and not mandatory, sweating over a hot curry is also accepted)

Monday blues who? Sorry - what day is it? YouTuber Lucy Moon (@iamlucymoon) hopped on a call with the girls this week to chat about her lockdown life. The girls exchange stories from finding new love for exercise, glow ups, and glow downs. Grab a glass of wine - we all did, and let go of the day, you've done everything you needed to.

Joining the girls in part two of Lockdown Lovin' is a REAL LIFE MAN, that's right folks, a boy is on the podcast. We put Carl Thompson (@hawkinsandshepherd) on the spot to get you answers on virtual dating, why your ex is messaging you and who would be his ideal 'VD'.
Tune in for the smooth tones of our Carl, the dirty laugh of Gemma and as always the candid (sorry Debbie) Sophie.

And we are back. You asked, and we... eventually answered. The girls logged on to bring this episode from Cafe Quarantine (their separate, isolated homes) and talk online romance, lazy exes and is being bored a reason to update your Hinge?
Doesn't matter if you're on your daily walk, lunging at home, scoffing digestives or having a bottle of wine in the bath (practice caution) there's no judgement here. So let's get through this one together.
