Can’t Cope

#19: Soap Dreams, Sims & Stuff We’ll Never Be Good At

11 Aug 2025

Description

Kelsey’s on a dry streak ahead of a last‑minute wedding invite, DJing either side of it, and negotiating whether a midnight spicy marg technically counts as “the day of.” She tried a bar of soap after TikTok told her it lasts longer than shower gel… then dreamt she had to eat it, gagged at the smell the next morning, and binned it. She’s also in her cosy‑geek era. Sims webcam for Twitch, Xbox controller, adult colouring with crisp Crayolas, and steps and salads for holiday bikini pics. Rebecca did a West Cork hostel weekend in Allihies, gorgeous people, unreal pub music, but being the only one not drinking or smoking was rough, so boundaries and early to bed it was. Back in Dublin she finally scored a proper maritozzo (heaven, then immediate regret), played WAG at the match while missing literally every goal, tested a console Harry Potter wander, nabbed a shiny new mic, fell headfirst into “romantasy” (Firebird), reminisced about Twilight being… not it, sang sober at a 40th‑anniversary party, booked her Berlin hotel, while Kelsey’s lining up a trip to Spain and her first‑time in Portugal.This week’s “Can’t Cope” Bonnie Blue’s Channel 4 doc (the thousand men stunt), rage‑bait marketing, the barely‑legal angle, and why OnlyFans’ creator‑only rule changes matter. Then a rant at Bo+Tee/Oh Polly for dropping new collections every two weeks, the overwhelm, the pressure, the waste. Main topic? Things We’ll Never Be Good At. Kelsey admits she’s allergic to patience in the kitchen (food prep? never heard of her) while Rory cooks like a saint with every pot in the flat. Rebecca opens up about driving‑test trauma (aced the questions, crumbled under eyes‑on pressure), Kelsey’s flight anxiety spikes at take‑off and turbulence, and Rebecca confesses she can act and sing but can’t paint a mug to save her life (techy bits, same). Frenzied, honest, and weirdly soothing, exactly how we like it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
