H- giving you the gal pals you never knew you needed. 

A- Hello, Holly Hosler-White

H- Hello, Amy Trigg, 

A- you okay?

H- I am great. Before we started recording, right? Amy just said that I look like a fountain of zen. 

A- You did. You were like looking at me and you just, i don't know, you just seemed so chill, like we tested the mic, and you were like, yeah, it's fine.  Yeah, you were just. 

H- I think it was the stark contrast between me just sitting here and you faffing. That made it seem like there was a fountain. 

A- I just care about the work. I care about the work, 

H- but I realized as well that sometimes the work is better when you worry not so much. 

A- This is true

H- this is terrible English. You worry not so much. 

A- Should worry about that a bit more, shouldn't you? 

H- Yeah, i should. No, i'm good, thank you. We've had quite the week, amy Trigg. 

A- We have. It's been jam packed, hasn't it? I think I text you like on Friday I was like blooming heck What a week. You would not believe the week I've had, 

H- and I'm there like I would. I had the same week as you. Apart from the fact you went to Liverpool, which I did not do.

A- I did, i did go to Liverpool earlier this week. I was there less than 24 hours. I did you none of the like. Fun stuff. work was fun! 

H- And then Thursday

A- oh, holly Thursday I mean guys, we won a pub quiz. 

H- Yeah, we did 

A- Well, 

H- well, Sean won us the pub quiz. 

A- We didn't even win the pub quiz. 

H- No, we didn't. 

A- We lost the pub quiz By quite like not. We didn't come first, we didn't come second. 

H- We didn't, we didn't. 

A- I don't think we came third either. 

H- I'm going to say that we did, 

A- but you're lying to yourself. 

H- There's a bonus question at the end And if you get the bonus question right, you win the prize money. 

A- Yeah, it's like a jackpot question. 

H- Yeah, yeah, yeah, we won £400. One question off of one question.

A- Thank goodness for Sean. 

H- I swear to God, otherwise it would have rolled over to the following week Because nobody else got it. 

A- Nobody else did We. Basically, we are Jean, wait, jeanie, i know We're Genesius The reaction from the four of us was quite something. I've never seen Holly become so physical, so quickly. You got you started doing the running man. 

H- I didn't do the running man.

A- I swear. I turned around at one point You were doing some kind of move. 

H- I kissed Sean on his bald head, sean, and Em kissed. I went to Amy should we kiss? I lent in. I lent in. 

A- I was like what are you doing? 

H- Because I wanted to see how long it would take her to realize and it was mere milliseconds. She was like what are you doing to me? 

A- That's so confusing, so good. 

H- Do you remember what the question was? 

A- What kind of animal is a marabout? Yeah, am I saying it right? 

H- Yeah, 

A- and it was a bird. 

H- It was, it was a bird. 

A- It was technically a stork. 

H- It's a stork because as soon as they took the pieces of paper in, i googled it and I was there like oh my God, sean. Because Sean was like I think it's a bird And I was there like oh my God, sean, oh my God, sean, it's a stork, it's a stork. And he was there like okay, okay, because I think you don't. I think if two of you get the answer, no one wins. Oh, you don't split it. No, i think it rolls over to the following week, 

A- so that's how it gets to be quite so much. 

H- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's just from the. I think they literally just take it from the entry fee. 

A- Not forgetting that, because that was wonderful. 

H- It was wonderful, but at 1am, friday morning, 

A- what happened at 1am on Friday morning?

H- The podcast went live. 

A- Oh yeah, that happened, yeah. 

H- So this us talking to each other with a microphone in between the two of us has become people are listening, people can hear it. 

A- Some might say a worldwide sensation. 

H- I would in our little world. 

A- It has been great. 

H- No, thank you, though. Everyone. Yeah, thank you for listening. 

A- Yeah, actually, we did have a message based off our first episode. 

H- We did. 

A- Let me get it up, 

H- as we're recording this, we've only released one episode, correct? 

A- Yeah, but for all we know, you might be listening to this for the first time in December. So, merry Christmas, 

H- oh, happy new year, happy new year. I wonder what will be different in our lives by then. 

A- Well, i will have invested my cut of the jackpot money. I'll be a millionaire. I'll have forgotten all about you 

H- From the two pound entry fee that I paid for 

A- I'm in Bali. In the first episode we discussed red flags and icks and the difference between the two. 

H- Yes!

A- Callum wrote to us And he was like 

H- Hey, callum

A- Hey Callum. He said, not a red flag or icks from me, but from someone I went on a date with. 

H- Oh, calling himself out 

A- Yeah, which I respect, because I think we should all be more aware of our icks and red flags. 

H- I'm too much. 

A- No, I've also had that.  i think it's just a personal preference. Like we, what's? someone might say too much, we might be tapas to other people. We're roast dinner to some and tapas to another. 

H- Oh, i love it. I love it. We're going to talk about quotes in a bit. I'm going to write that one down. She's been full of them today. I have I can't even remember what it was that you said earlier, but it was wonderful. I said you're at a junction and you have to take a road. 

A- I was like you can't stay at the junction. 

H- Oh my God, on the road of life, beautiful. Anyway, back to Callum and his date. 

A- At some point during the conversation I mentioned that my friend and myself had a podcast and her face went white, or she paused and said oh, you're not a misogynist, are you? I panicked because I knew what she meant. With the rise of the Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates of the world, the phrase I have a podcast from a single man probably is a nick with assumptions that our podcast was about tricking women, mma, covid conspiracies and all other types of gross, toxic bullshit. I quickly said, oh, no, no, no, it's just two nerds talking about movies and moaning about Tories. And that got things back on track, although there wasn't a second date. 

H- Oh, okay, i love that for Callum. 

A- I want to listen to Callan's podcast. 

H- I personally. Maybe it's because of the sort of podcast I listen to. I would automatically assume it was a movie podcast. I don't know why I'd be there, like, yeah, i really. I feel like if you know someone well enough to be going on a date with them, they're gonna know they're in first date. 

A- You don't know these people. Yeah, true, i can kind of understand where she's coming from. No, i don't know whether I can. 

H- Nauh You sounded like someone from H2O, just add water.

A- NAUH, i love to have that accent. 

A- No, but I was a little bit self-conscious about starting a podcast and being like we're starting a podcast because I think we joked about it before. We were like, yes, because what the world needs is two white women talking. But then again, what the heck? what's wrong with that? hey, we're not forcing anyone to listen, 

H- apart from you, mum. No, please don't listen. 

A- put the podcast down, alison.  What I would say is that if someone told me that they had a podcast, i'd be really intrigued to find out what it was about. 

H- So would I, 

A- even if it's about something I've not. if it was about I don't know rocket science. I don't know anything about rocket science. I could learn. 

H- Its not rocket science. So if I was on a date with someone they said they had a podcast, i don't know if I'd panic. 

A- I'd be like oh, tell me more. 

H- Do you know what? I didn't ask you. 

A- I'm aware you didn't ask me. I've been thinking about it. I was like is she gonna remember me at some point? Probably not. She's off on a tangent. Go on, then 

H- you okay?

A- Yeah, well, i am. Now. 

H- What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cut this down to like a minute's worth of conversation and then you're gonna look like such an overreactor. 

A- Yeah, for reference, we have been recording for 13, almost 14 minutes and Holly Holly's just cared about herself this whole time. 

H- That is not true. Every story I've told has a been about 

A- has a been We have pasta for dinner. 

H- We are turning to an Italian woman. Has been about the two of us Yeah, including both of us. 

A- Actually, we've done so much together. 

This week We went to see Romeo and Juliet at the Almeida Theatre, which, by the time this podcast goes out, it might finish. it finishes at the end of July. My friend Cooney was in it 

H- and now my friend too. 

A- And now you've met Cooney. 

H- No, hang on, can we just talk about the fact that I said he was my friend too, and Amy automatically responded with yes, you have met him,

A-you can have him. No, you can, we can share him. 

H- Okay, i feel like that's his choice. 

A- No, he didn't get a choice in this, but we've met a lot of it's. 

H- I feel like we're at a stage in our relationship, um, where 

A- I know what you're gonna say and I agree. 

H- We've met so many of each other's friends this week. 

A- We've done so much in with different friendship groups and they've all been really successful, 

H- so successful. 

A- So the first one was actually Megan. Yeah, because I had you over and, megan, you'd never met before and we were just going to spend the evening together. Massive risk. What if you'd hated each other? Yeah, got on like a house on fire, literally, but it's so lovely when it works out, isn't it? And then I obviously met Sean and Em at the quiz 

H- And it turns out Amy and Em are basically the same person. They give me exactly the same advice. I'm never putting them in a room together again. 

A- I felt like a ventriloquist that night because at points, em was speaking 

H- Because you had your hand 

A- And I was like is that me? Like she's saying all the things that I would say to Holly advice wise. 

H- One of them would start talking and the other one would be there like, yeah, yeah, everything that I would come out with. I'd be like, so what if? Yes? And they'd be like, no, at the same time, or yeah, at the same time. 

-------------------

A- Today I thought we would have the inaugural session of the Holly and Amy quote club. 

H-Yes, i love this. 

A-So the idea is that we will tell each other our favourite quotes, or quotes that we've heard recently that have just stuck in our brains, 

H-or quotes that we don't like, maybe. 

 

A- And then we're just going to discuss the quotes, 

H- yes, 

A- and just see if they resonate with us, if they work. 

H- Yeah, 

A-it's basically like book club, but for people who don't have enough time to read books, 

 

H- 100%, yes, 

A- I will start off with one of my favorite quotes. This is from Amy Poehler, but 

H- of course

A- So my Amy Poehler quote is 'I have realized that mystery is what keeps people away, and I've grown tired of smoking mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place. So let's peek behind the curtain and hail the others like us, the open-faced sandwiches who take risks and live big and smile with all their teeth. These are the people I want to be around. This is the honest way I want to live and love and write.'

H- Oh, that made my heart flutter

A- mic drop,  There's so much in there that I think is so good to remember. Smoking mirrors do keep people away. 

H- Mystery we just need to be more honest with each other, don't we? Holly, do you know what? 

A- You said that like I had kept something from you. 

H- Stop lying to me, holly. I know what you've done. 

A- I think mystery is great up until a point and then, when you don't, it's like, oh, they're a bit mysterious, i've been drawn into them. But after like a week of mystery, i'm there like, can you just give me something? 

H- Yeah, can you just tell me who you are without being like this Oh, i'm so aloof, fuck off.

A- I ditch it immediately. With anyone and everyone, 

H- I do like a bit of aloof. 

A- You're talking about romantic connections

H- anything. I'm just intrigued by people. 

A- Oh right, oh, i should be more mysterious. 

H- No, you shouldn't. We're here now. I love the open teeth and all that. 

A- Yeah, i love that 

H- Open teeth. 

A- No, all their teeth. Smile with all their teeth. 

H- That's lovely. 

A- Be like open sandwiches. 

-----------------------

H- This is always quoted as William Shakespeare. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but it's not. It's anonymous, like no one. Actually, i don't think anyone knows where it's from. If I'm incorrect, please tell me, because I would love to know what this is from. But it was always quoted as being William Shakespeare, and I know, i know my bill and I know that this isn't him. This is very romantic for me as well, and I'm not a romantic person. 'If I were to kiss you, then I would go to hell, i would. So then I can brag to the devils that I saw heaven without even entering it.' I mean, i barely get a text back. 

A- I think it sounds like someone trying to be Shakespeare. 

H- It sounds like the you know, oh, romeo and Juliet. When it's like, oh, when he dies, cut him up and like, yeah, i'm just gonna stick him in the sky. But that's not the quote.But you know, it reminds me of things like that. 

A- There was a couple of. I must admit, when we saw Romeo and Juliet the other day, there were like two bits, two quotes that stuck in my head A curse of both your houses. 

H- Right, an edit, it's a plague on both your houses, not a curse. I know that I was here like i'm the queen of Shakespeare.

A- How embarrassing. 

H- All right, it's a plague. 

A- Back to the pod. 

H- Back to the pod. 

I had never really thought about who says that and how it's said until I saw that production. I was there like, oh, my god, 

A- you keeping the name of the character Because of like spoilers, in case anyone Like, i think Twitter's okay to talk about it. It's a big issue, yeah. 

H- And then there's the whole bit I won't be able to quite properly. The Juliet says about it is not the morning lark, you hear, it is the nightingale fooling you. 

A-Oh, you love that bit. 

H- Yeah, i'll show you a light, oh, that bit. And then I the pub quiz the other day. I was drunk and I was like Amy, there was that bit, the Romeo and Juliet and she was like, yeah, i know, holly, i got to re-limit all again. Yeah, beautiful.

A- would you like another one of mine? Yes, so this one is from Nora Efron, from her book. I feel bad about my neck and other thoughts on being a woman. 

H- I think you bought me that book. 

A- I did 

H- you're such a good friend. 

A- Do you know why I bought you that book thing? 

H- because the bit in the beginning, dolly Alderton, says about giving the book to friends. 

A- Yes, however, okay, megan told me about it and Megan was the one who was like You got to just get it for you, like your female friends. So Megan was gonna lend me her copy. But then I got impatient. I went into a bookshop And it was there and I was like I'm just gonna get it, yeah. And then I got it and I read it and I was like Megan, you were so right and then I got it for you And I got it for Stacy and I'm just getting around to all my female friends. 

The quote is maintenance. 

H- I love this quote and it is so apt at the moment. 

A- Maintenance is what you have to do, just so you can walk out the door Knowing that if you go to the market and bump into a guy who wants rejected you, you won't have to hide behind a stack of canned food. I don't need to be too literal about this. Oh, brilliant. 

H- And I'll tell you what Amy Trigg this week It's that it's so apt. 

A- I won't go into details. but have you ever bumped into someone? 

H- Yeah

A- because that is someone who rejected you, but someone who you were, let's say, romantically Involved. Have you ever bumped into someone like that and you have like run to, like hide behind canned food? 

H- I don't think I've ever been in that position where I've run away. I've not run away, but I've ignored them.have you not like, if they're, they're like, hey, holly, but I've like, look the other way. I've been like, oh, i've got my headphones in. Just don't, I've done that. 

A- Oh, i think I might have done that. 

H- I've never hidden. I've never like purposefully hidden. 

A- I, i think I might have lied a second ago. I think I ran away quite like well, not recently, but like, i was like. But you know, when you see someone, you're like I don't know where we stand and this isn't the time for the conversation. I know,  And then I think I think I'm like I should go back. 

H- Do you want my next quote? 

A- I would love your next quote. 

H- I worry because a lot of mine are just like from Pinterest, so a lot of them don't have a name attached to them but they just Okay. 

A- So you didn't do the research, and that's fine.

H- Can I point out that the research was about five minutes and Amy was in the loo for some of it. I needed a win. She did her research on the loo. 

'Maybe I'm not too sensitive, maybe you're just a dickhead.'

A- I Mean that's a good thing to remember. 

H- Good, because, as well, i'm not sensitive, like I'm not. I don't think I am personally. 

A- Oh, oh, no, the reason I looked like that is because I think we're all sensitive at points. I'm not say you're an overly sensitive person. 

H- No, i think I have quite thick skin. Yeah, can sort of be that It's fine. I don't carry Things into the next thing with me, so like, say, if I get a rejection from an audition, i'm not then going to go into work and be upset about it. Like I'm not gonna go out for dinner with my friends and it affect what I'm doing. 

A- This is true. 

H- I So, when people have previously been there, like why are you being sensitive? I'm there like Hang on a sec. Let's look at this from the other point of view. Maybe you are just being a dickhead. 

A- Yeah, maybe I've been really nice up to a point and that goes for anyone. 

H- I just really liked it. 

A- My next quote is from a play that I recently read. I wanted to throw in a recent one. It's a play called happy meal by Tabby Lamb. 

H- I want to see that. 

A- I, yeah, i really wanted to see it, and it was one of those plays that Every time it came about I couldn't go for, like because I was working, i was away and I was really annoyed. So I read it and it's gorgeous, and this quote I particularly liked. 'He picked up my dysphoria, like it was a teddy bear and cradled it until it fell asleep for a while'

H- I Love it, i literally I don't have anything to say about it. It's just like Anything I add to it would reduce it. 

A- It's a gorgeous. I think it sums it up beautifully and it's it feels. 

I love intimate lines that feel intimate when they're read or when they're said, and that feels like one of those kind of lines. 

H- Now I'm a wanker 

A- And End of quote. 

H- I really I do love a bit of poetry, especially since coming out of school, and I don't have to like analyze it, she says. But I am also doing an English literature and creative writing degree with the open university. So that's a lie. It was a lie. Anyway, there is a poet called Brian Bilston, 

A- uh-huh, 

H- and he writes these beautiful poems that are also very, very funny. Okay, it's called Ping Ping. 

He sees her every evening when the shopping's nearly done and they're waiting in the queue with their ready meals for one Identical baskets. they stand silently in line, when really what he wants to ask is your microwave or mine?

A- Oh, that's lovely. So it's like two people that always see each other at the supermarket and they're destined to be in love. But someone needs to, just The way you just said love, love, love. And they just need to break the ice. Oh, that's lovely, that So nice. Yeah, i love it. And you do often fall in love at the supermarket. It was strange. 

H- Well, i didn't get a text from someone today. 

A- I did. I texted you. I fell in love. 

H- It's such an Amy Trigg text to receive. 

A- I sent it to my parents as well. 

I think I'm in love with the man in Morrison's.

Yeah, they're like okay, great. And then dad asked if he would get discount 

H- Such a dad question.

A- I said, well, i assumed that would be. You know, that would be an issue if he didn't, with our inevitable marriage. 

H- So Morrison's going to cater the wedding, 

A- i'd be open to it. 

H- Yeah, they do a good sandwich board. 

A- Oh yeah, and they do the pizza. I'm getting carried away. I'll never see him again. 

H- No, of course not. 

A- When I say love, i mean it in the loosest of terms. He was a man who was polite and nice, 

H- and that's where we're at. 

A- And that's where we're at. 

H- I've got nothing left to give. That's my favorite. Gemma Collin's line. 

A- I love Gemma Collin's. Is that a Gemma Collin's? 

H- Yeah, that is big brother. I've got nothing left. 

A- I just want to be me. In fact, actually we could scrap all this and just quote Gemma Collin's for the rest of the day. 

H- I've had enough of the games. 

A- I'm claustrophobic Darren!

H- it's the one, it's the one where she's like doing an order over the phone in a shop where she did Diva Forever, and she's there like I'll tell you what, babe, because of your chemotherapy, i'm going to throw in an extra bag. Do you want maroon or do you want olive? And then she gets off the phone and she's there like you see, what I've done there is I've made someone's day And she's great.

A- My next one is a song. It's from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which is my favorite musical. 

H- Can I guess what song it's from? 

A- Yeah, you'll get it wrong, but go on. 

H- Origin of Love

A- Incorrect. That was a good guess because it is my favorite song, one of my favorite songs. This is a quote from, and I was going to yeah, i was going to go with that one. 

There's quite a few songs I could quote from this show. I went with Wicked Little Town for a preese. Oh, 'you think that luck has left you there, but maybe there's nothing up in the sky but air and there's no mystical design, no cosmic lover preassigned. There's nothing you can find that cannot be found.'

H- I live for a sign. Wow, i

A- know you do. Actually, this was a bad one to read to you, because you do love a sign and you love a mystical design. 

H- I think everything's set out for us already. There's just lots of different routes we can take 

A- And maybe and this is the wonderful thing about Quote Club we get deep, but that's true and I think that's a really that's great to think about. but also it's kind of freeing to be like there's nothing that cannot be found. 

H- Like what does that mean? It's a double negative. 

A- But what I'm saying is like if I think there's a mystical design and I'm like I can't get that red sweet because of the design, but if I'm like actually I can do whatever I like, i'm free, i could get the red sweet.  Maybe I've been listening to this song wrong all this time. I've always thought it's been quite nice. But if it's negative,

H-maybe it depends what frame of mind you're in.

A- Really, either way, it's a beautiful song. I get why it's. 

H-Oh no, no, amy looks sad. I get why you would be there like, yeah, i can get whatever I want. 

A-The planets do need to align, like luck is 100% a part of everything. But you also have to mix that in with hard work. 

H- Well, that's like I love a bit of manifestation, but manifestation only works if you work hard. And I don't mean on the manifestation, i don't mean like really shut your eyes and be there, like about your manifestation, but what I'm saying is you can't just be there like I want to be a millionaire by the time I'm 30. And then sit in your pajamas and watch telly all day. You have to go out and work for it .

A- And I think with manifestation, that worries me and maybe you could tell me whether I'm doing this wrong. Every time I think about something that I want, i panic because I've thought about it, it's not gonna happen. Oh my God, me. Yeah, like sometimes I'll be thinking and I'll literally go no, no, turn it off, turn it off, because I'll jinx it. 

H- Yeah, i worry about jinxing a lot, but I think manifestation is usually a bit more broad. So I'll be there like I mean, i like to manifest for myself love, light and happiness, but I'm not there like I specifically want ex to love me. I think I'm too specific. I want light specifically from this bulb, and I want happiness specifically from a Nando's tomorrow, because those things might not happen The bulb might blow, the Nando's might take too long to get there. Nightmare Ex might one day be an ex. So yeah, when you get me witchy, you get me witchy. 

A- That was great. I really enjoyed what you just said. 

H- Thank you, i'll see you in the next video. 

A- You can be beautiful, but if you've got bad vibes But that's what it's saying, because that's just part of the quote Oh, yeah, it does. Yeah, i've got the bigger one here. Go on, read the bigger one. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick out teeth, but if you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like some beams and you will always look lovely, yeah, gorgeous And oh. In the beginning bit is if a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. 

A-

Yes, this is my final quote for this episode of Quote Club with Holly and Amy. No, holly and Amy's quote. I forgot what I said at the beginning, but whatever I said, ok, amy Poehler from Yes, please, again, opening your heart and being courageous and telling people that you care about them or like them or that you think they're special, only makes you a better, bigger, kinder, softer and more loving person And only attracts more love into your life. Oh, i love that. I love you. Thanks. I enjoy spending time with you too. 

H- I'm just not actually ready to say that word. I just don't think that we're at that point. Well, i think that was a very successful inaugural Quote Club. She's so wise, i love She's so booky. Oh, look at her with her words.
