It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere

Gill Sims Jo Middleton

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere is a hilarious podcast from authors, bloggers and great friends, Jo Middleton and Gill Sims. In it, Gill and Jo kick back with a cocktail, or a delicious glass of wine from our partners Laylo, https://drinklaylo.com/, and have a bit of fun discussing random topics including but not limited to, parenting, hormones, menopause, weird nineties sex tips, and relationships. Oh, and we also proffer advice we are in no way qualified to give in our regular problem page slot. Jo Middleton is the creator of the award winning Slummy Single Mummy blog, and the author of Playgroups and Prosecco, and Gill Sims is the author of the bestselling Why Mummy series of books, The Saturday Night Sauvignon Sisterhood, and the Peter and Jane blog. We met at an event several years ago, where we bonded over how much we were missing our pets, but not our children. Subsequent meetings saw us crashing a wedding, starting a party in a hotel bar we had persuaded the night porter to open, and liberating a bottle of tequila from a terrifying sausage conglomeration in Brighton. We have not yet been arrested on a night out, but give it time. Get in touch with us by email at [email protected], or follow us on Instagram @its5oclocksomewherepodcast, on Facebook It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere and even on Twitter @5OClock_Podcast. We don’t do TikTok. Our children have forbidden us. Also, it scares us. Produced by James Ede, BeHeard Hosted by LibSyn

This week we are HOME ALONE! Well, Jo is, Gill relates the tale of her disapointment that her beloved husband decided to stay at home and not go on a work trip. We discuss the joys of ready meals, Jo confesses to some dubious eating habits and Gill explains what an 'empty' is, for the benefit of non-Scottish listeners. We also dwell on the bliss of uninterrupted access to the remote control and no one judging your choices, Jo shares her tips for a visit to Swindon, and Gill reveals why her husband refuses to enter the old WW2 bomb shelter in her garden.

This week, Jo and Gill explore the brave new world of AI- alas, some sterling research about it from Jo results mainly in Gill being very confused about what it’s for and saying ‘but I could do that’. Jo enjoys an AI inspired cocktail and Gill decides it is all too much and just talks about farm animals instead!

This week we are talking SUMMER! We have lovely summer drinks, there is some concern about whether or not Gill was naked as we recorded, (spoiler- she most certainly was not, Gill is a professional, who would never podcast with no clothes on), and why men feel the need to remove their tops as soon as the temperature even thinks about creeping up. We also discuss Jo's latest date, which was compromised due to something she refers to as 'bottom mischief' (it's definitely not what you're thinking) and we bring you some unique fashion ideas with some heated debate around flip flops versus bin crocs and whether or not handbags are unfeminist!

It's the AMA Episode (Ask Me Anything) with a selection of questions sent in by you, our lovely listeners! We discuss pretty much everything you can think of, including wedding crashing, alfresco sex, avocadoes, one night stands, fish curry, the legalities of various means of dealing with in-laws, dessicated coconut, and of course, cocktails, dogs and Tinder!

This week, we attempted to talk about Mother's Day, and whether it is a delightful tradition, or a huge corporate rip off, and important feminist topics like whose responsibility it actually is to arrange Mother's Day. But we are, as ever, very easily side tracked and therefore we ended up discussing equally important topics like the joy of elasticated waistbands, Princess Di figurines and ceramic cats, whether tea can go off, Jo's latest nest of pants for her cats, and the time Gill misguided wore denim hotpants and purple wellies to be a parent helper at Guide Camp. None of this was anything to do with us both drinking very strong gin cocktails while recording...

The eternal question we are asked on a loop from about August- are you ready for Christmas? It seems to be a resounding 'NO' for Jo and Gill, if that makes you feel any better!

This week, with the clock ticking ever more rapidly, and that festive countdown very much on, we talk about those organised people who, having been ready for Christmas since approximately mid August, like to remind the rest of us about that by asking in faux concerned tones 'And are you all ready for Christmas?', when they know full well the answer is going to be a resounding NO! Jo takes a rather more pragmatic to Christmas and declares one is 'ready' when one is eating cherry liqueur chocolates with your morning coffee, whereas Gill takes on a more panicked approach, not helped by developing a recent obsession with making the 'tension rod garlands' that she saw on Instagram. It's a packed episode though, as Jo learns a lot about hostess trolleys, Gill threatens to cry in the garage with a bottle of Baileys and we discuss why 'Susan' is such an excellent name! Merry Christmas!

This week we are talking about Christmas films, and I think it's safe to say we have some Views on these (how unlike us). We discuss an unusual take on Love Actually, and Gill watches The Holiday for the very first time, and develops an unhealthy obsession with Jude Law's cow, while Jo points out several more practical flaws with his life than his random cow. Jo has some issues with these films from a feminist standpoint, and Gill feebly attempts to argue that mildly objectifying Cary Elwes is also a feminist standpoint...

OK, so we started recording this episode with the very best intentions to talk charmingly about our delightful family Christmas traditions, the importance of traditions, and of creating your own new ones. But somehow, we almost immediately went wildly off topic and starting talking about the times we really did not bring our A game as parents (or maybe we did, depending on how you're looking at it). So if you're feeling a bit Grinchy, a bit Meh, a bit over that elf and his b*starding shelf, and feeling like everyone else is going OTT on the Christmas magic, while you just want a traditional vat of Baileys, this episode is for you!

This week, we're chatting about the little things that tip you over the edge- the things you feel you should be able to deal with as a competent adult, but actually make you want to cry, and shout you need a proper grown up for this! Inspired in part by Gill's car actually breaking down and Gill almost breaking down as a result, and Jo's encounter with a particularly vicious record player, flat pack furniture, lawn mowers, spiders and hoovers also feature among the things that cause all of you to break down!
