11 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What does 'Hambag' or 'Handbag' reveal about pronunciation quirks?

0.031 - 2.414 Eilidh

What do you mean, man?

0

2.574 - 24.158 Ash

I'm a face sleeper. Handbag instead of handbag. Hi! Welcome back to your Monday episode. Happy Monday, guys. Hope you enjoyed the show on Saturday. Did you have a great time? How was it? Oh, were we funny? Did you enjoy yourself? Are you enjoying yourself? I hope you did. Actually, can't wait. Can't wait to see all your pictures.

0

24.218 - 27.642 Ash

If you've got pictures or videos for the night, then send them to us and tag us. Yeah, absolutely.

27.622 - 54.928 Lauren

I always get butterflies out of the show because I'm like it's never something you can plan right we can obviously have ideas in our head like this would be a good idea for a game we know what we're wearing we know what the theme is blah blah but you don't know the main thing which is what are the audience going to be like also we are not the ones to script a show I know that a lot of people they like the knowing what you're doing and what you're saying so many podcast shows have a full script we have none I watched the

54.908 - 81.937 Eilidh

uh i am alex or this is alex call me alex yeah that was it which is uh call me daddy podcast call her daddy call her what does fucking mom mean call her daddy call her daddy whatever father um see the amount of people that she had working on her show now i am not saying like she is the top Female podcast, right? She is light years ahead of us, right?

81.977 - 82.317 Lauren

100%.

82.658 - 103.341 Eilidh

But the amount of people that she had working on the show, which I went, a live show is a live show. I was watching it out of sheer nosiness. Her show was scripted to a T. Really? As in every, like, as in going, Alex, I think you need to pause here. Hold that laugh a little bit longer.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about their recent live show experience?

103.501 - 112.171 Eilidh

And I'm like... But what if they don't laugh? What if they don't laugh at that bit and you're just pausing for so, so long? She has it all on auto cue.

0

112.851 - 130.672 Lauren

I think that there would be influential audience members that would pull the vibe in. So I think that for that kind of thing, they would probably have certain people like, say, for example, our friends and family, who, by the way, have no idea what's even happening with the show. My mum actually said to me, what have we to wear? And she told me what she was wearing. I was like, no, no, no, no.

0

130.952 - 132.033 Lauren

Let's go more detective-y.

0

132.714 - 132.874 Unknown

LAUGHTER

0

132.854 - 140.241 Lauren

And she was like, all right, okay. Get a trench coat. I was like, that's giving wedding. We're going for detective. And she was like, all right, fine. So they don't really know what's going on.

140.261 - 156.255 Lauren

But I reckon for someone like Alex Cooper would have like her team, some of them probably sit in the audience so that then when something funny happens, they know that it's the cue to laugh or to shout out or I bet they have like people planted within the audience that kind of change the vibe.

156.295 - 178.032 Eilidh

That's a full theatre performance at that point. I didn't get that from the thingy. Oh, secret service. But it was very much like, when you're saying that word, take that over three beats. Yeah. It was very, very like, this is the joke and this is how you're going to lead into it and whatever. And I'm watching it going...

178.012 - 202.028 Ash

we don't do any of that her pod is so different to ours though like it's not I don't think her podcast is as conversational as ours like I've listened to quite yeah but see if she's got like for example Hayley Bieber on she's got her set questions I don't think Alex really she doesn't really deviate too much she lets the speaker speak do you know what I mean because she wanted to step away from so when she first had it

202.008 - 230.125 Eilidh

it was her and her co-host yeah and basically crack started to show once they got signed by barstool they then wanted they took them on for three years they then wanted to take them on for another one year alex said yes and was it sofia said no and basically she's probably kicking herself now yeah but sofia there's a lot to that so sofia said she wanted to negotiate the terms a bit more and alex was like no i wanted to accept the terms but

Chapter 3: What are the differences between scripted and unscripted podcasts?

481.06 - 489.612 Ash

We've literally not even spent that much time together because the show is in like four days and we've not been together. I know. It's not the detox. It's more that we've ran out of wordspine.

0

489.592 - 508.782 Eilidh

but that happens even after like today we're obviously recording a lot of episodes and we will drive home today in silence yeah possibly probably not actually we've got a lot to do you're going for your flight I'm going for my infusion going for the iron so I'll be a whole new woman

0

508.762 - 525.454 Ash

the following week I can't wait for that do you know so I've been talking to Abby Draper so she's the exact same going through the whole thing with like the iron situation not able to get an infusion off the GP blah blah blah and she'd recommended that I go to this place and she's just had it done so she's like she'll be like two weeks is she ill?

0

525.434 - 554.445 Ash

she was ill for like three days that's why I was like but she said it wasn't as bad as you would expect but she said what is the illness though is it like iron down yeah it's like flu symptoms for like three days it probably can't be any worse than some days that you feel like shit yeah well that weekend there I literally couldn't move I was absolutely burst so yeah I'm buzzing for it but see when you actually look at all the symptoms of different things and it's like anxiety I'm like oh my god that'll explain my some days I'm like oh I feel I'm so anxious for absolutely no reason yeah

0

554.425 - 557.209 Ash

So yeah, can't wait to be a whole new person. That's exciting. That is buzzing.

557.429 - 560.414 Lauren

I feel like a whole new person after my scenario at the weekend.

560.594 - 561.055 Ash

What was that?

561.135 - 569.007 Lauren

I know we're going back in time now, but I've not spoke about it anywhere apart from you guys on WhatsApp. My not being able to speak situation.

569.187 - 569.788 Unknown

Oh shit, yeah.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts compare their podcast style to others?

1321.755 - 1323.657 Lauren

Grabby? Oh, I don't know.

0

1323.677 - 1325.839 Eilidh

Grabby is the trampoline park there. It's now called Grid.

0

1327.221 - 1333.007 Ash

It's called Grid. What a bitch name. Rejected. That is rejected. It's not approved by anyone.

0

1335.029 - 1352.548 Lauren

can we talk about the Hayley Bieber phenomenon that is going on now just generally everyone loving Hayley I love how the tables have turned in her favour I like that she's having her built a multi-million pound brand apart from that though there's no personality

0

1352.528 - 1379.143 Ash

oh i love her personality what is her personality though she's just a nice girl she seems like very nice very caring like the way that she's basically guided justin bieber through this whole like bad episodes that he's had for the last maybe like two years she actually put a post on after coach ella saying nobody knows the amount like what what we had to do behind the scenes for this to happen yeah because he was so broken broken and then they've had to like guide him through

1380.254 - 1406.7 Ash

all his therapy everything to get him back to being able to perform which by the way is it weird to wear um merch of like an event you didn't go to because i saw a t-shirt on tiktok right and you know what i just thought nothing makes me happier than this one picture of justin bieber and it's the wee moment where he's singing um daisies and it's like closer and closer and it was just a photo of his face and i was like i would wear that for the dopamine hit

1406.68 - 1436.485 Lauren

see just to have Justin's face and just every now and then look in the mirror and be like oh you did it you got through it but yeah Hayley Bieber all her makeup love it cannot get enough of it literally just ordered more yeah I didn't actually get any of it but Ella went to Sephora at the Trafford Centre and that's what she wanted she wanted the road glazing milk and she wanted the pocket blush and she got the two of them and she absolutely and do you know what see the way she did like her wee makeup with it it looks so nice I've never once looked at her and went

1436.465 - 1456.347 Lauren

it's a bit much the way she does her makeup the way that I used to go like Pat Butcher do you know what I mean it's not the style now is it it's not the style and I just go do you know what if that's kind of like who my wee girl aspires to be like like even the clothes that's a bit of a style icon like the way she like kind of carries herself I'm not mad at it yeah she's a she's I just like her

1456.327 - 1483.988 Ash

um i actually love my i feel like the two brands that i want to buy makeup from these days is vive and road the two of them have the perfect vibe and i'm like everything that you put out there i want yep do you know what i mean and then all my other stuff i'm like it's time for you to go it's time for you to leave now but yeah the roads um the road eye patches get a very good review i can hold out the word now the justin bieber ones were sold out we really want to spend that amount on

Chapter 5: What challenges do the hosts face with audience engagement?

1589.795 - 1591.701 Lauren

I see sentences.

0

1591.951 - 1617.906 Ash

And spelling Be good And a tick And a see me See me after class Or not a see me because then you wouldn't get a star No I'm not into wearing the patches out But I do like the process I just love the home bargains ones to be fair Guys I don't want to be a whistleblower I'm so sorry to say it My mum went and got loads of stuff And she got the Grace and Stella Is that what they're called?

0

1618.286 - 1625.036 Lauren

The Grace and Stella eye patches Guys, I do fear they might be the same as the gold ones from Home Bargains.

0

1625.717 - 1626.759 Eilidh

What's Grace and Stella?

0

1626.979 - 1635.111 Lauren

That is a brand on TikTok and you can literally get like 50 sets of these jelly eye patches for like £25, for example.

1635.211 - 1650.072 Ash

I do think the most de-puffing thing of them is the fact that they're cold. So I don't think it would be hard to replicate. I actually think you could probably reuse them, put them back in water and put them in the fridge and then just stick them on your face because it's the coldness that's de-puffing you. Yeah.

1650.052 - 1678 Eilidh

yeah do you know what why is nobody come up with like a glasses or something like that for the morning what do you mean like imagine like a pair of glasses that you leave in i know you can get like um the pack the eye mask and stuff like that but why is them they come up with like glasses or something that just sit all down here on your face but you can still do stuff with because i love those eye patches but they're quite wet so sometimes if you lean forward they fall off yeah

1677.98 - 1694.706 Eilidh

it's the same with like the medikube masks right i always go right i'm going to put that on tonight and then see by the time i've had my shower and that i say i've had it early and i think right i've got the four hours to sit and really let it soak in and then i go but i still need to have my dinner yeah and i can't eat with that on no you can't i wear it overnight in my bed

1695.057 - 1723.478 Lauren

I move about too much I'm a face sleeper no overnight in my bed I wear it and it is honestly see that feeling of taking it off in the morning it is fantastic but you know it's another really good eye patch brand to try I don't know if you've ever had these ones see the Rehab London eye patches they're very good very good and they're not they're more like stickers like the road ones they're not jelly patches so they actually stick on like a plaster almost apparently very good apparently

Chapter 6: How do the hosts navigate personal health discussions?

2351.429 - 2357.602 Lauren

You still don't know. I still don't know. I think so much time has passed that we need to put this out here.

0

2357.622 - 2361.526 Ash

No, I tried to look it up. I did try to look it up. Her name was Ashton. Right, there you go. Ashton?

0

2361.786 - 2363.347 Unknown

Ashton, was it Boyle or Boyle?

0

2363.367 - 2364.228 Ash

Ashton, please, you need to know.

0

2364.769 - 2382.244 Unknown

Aileen will never rest. I feel like whenever we find out what his name actually was, Aileen will actually go, oh my God. I just feel like a whole different person that's been on my shoulders for so long. Actually, the iron problem might no longer be a thing. Maybe it was just not known whether it was Boyle or Boyle or Boyle.

2382.224 - 2404.806 Lauren

how awkward though if you if someone said something you're like I can't say that now because I don't know what you're saying I know I don't know how to say that in my accent see if I don't know what someone said and I ask them to repeat it and they repeat it and I just I absorb the sound and in my head I'm really really quickly replaying it replaying it replaying it trying to make sense of what they've said see if I ask them again and I still don't understand it

2405.174 - 2409.982 Lauren

I'm not going in for the third. It's actually, you have maxed out at that point.

2410.022 - 2413.767 Ash

How many times? Two times, yeah. Sorry, say that again and then you go, okay.

2414.469 - 2423.082 Lauren

And then I go, ah, uh-huh, yeah. And I just do a generic response. They could literally be saying, do you want to give me 500 quid? And I'd be going,
