Carrie: What we've done is we've swapped places...
Louise: Yeah.
Carrie: ...but our Kinder eggs have stayed in the same place. Do we swap Kinder eggs back?
Or do we just go with the ones that are in front of us?
Louise: Oh Carrie
Carrie: I know.
Louise: I don't know.
Carrie: I think keep.
Louise: Okay.
If I get, if I'm swizzed again,
I'm not going to be happy.
Carrie: You need to watch Louise's video for context.
Louise: Hello I'm Louise.
Carrie: This is Louise Pentland. Louise: Hi! Hi!
Carrie: She is a wonderful, wonderful woman.
Louise: Have we done an actual collab before?
Carrie: No, never.
Louise: We've done like vlogs and things... Carrie: Yeah. Louise: ...but we haven't done a sit down, amazing video like this.
Carrie: No, these high quality,
high production...
Louise: I just want to say for my video,
it was just two women opening a [stuttering]... tinder egg... easter egg...
um Kinder egg.
Carrie: What?
[stuttering]
A Tinder egg.
Louise: Out pops a boyfriend! [Laugh]
Louise: That's what happened to me. Carrie: I bought one of those.
Louise: Yeah, I went on Tinder and met Liam
and now we're like madly, happily in love.
Carrie: I tried Tinder once and found it too stressful.
Because I swiped the wrong way on this really gorgeous guy,
and I went, I can't, I'll never find him again and he could have been the one.
And thats too stressful so I deleted it.
Louise: Very cut throat. Carrie: That's a true story.
Carrie: I can't get into my Kinder egg! Louise: Alright, alright.
Louise: Look.
Carrie: Thank you. Louise: There you are.
Louise: If you're about to go and watch the video that what we filmed on my channel,
I feel a bit like we lost our minds a little bit. Carrie: A tad.
Louise: That's the best way to be. Carrie: I mean that's the best kind of YouTube video.
Carrie: I'm going to do the exact same to you as you did on my channel,
I'm going to eat my Kinder egg,
whilst you tell me about your book.
Because you are an author!
Louise: I'm an author and I have the book here. Carrie: Here it is!
Louise: Here it is. Here's the book!
This is 'Wilde Like Me'.
This is a women's fiction,
about this lady called Robin Wilde
and she has a little girl
called Lyla Blue Wilde.
So here's a thing about writing books,
I have used all my baby names in here.
Carrie: I know. Louise: And if I were to have another baby, I'd be like
Oh, now I want to call her Lyla.
But I can't because I've called this person Lyla.
Who is not real, but do you find that your character just becomes so real to you?
Robin Wilde is a single mum and she starts off
the year very low, really struggling
and in a bit of a desperate place.
Which I think is a place that
we've all been before, we've all had low moments.
She describes it as 'the emptiness', where like nothing
can touch her, like happiness doesn't seem to touch her,
things that would normally give her that fizzy buzz,
she's not getting.
And she meets
a man.
This beautiful, perfect man
and he rescues her.
Then she goes somewhere
and something happens.
And she starts to think:
Did he rescue me?
Or has something else happened instead? Carrie: Interesting!
I've only just started
reading the book so I'm not this far yet! Louise: You're still in the 'emptiness'.
Carrie: Yeah, I'm excited. Louise: I feel like if I was to say more I would ruin it
for people but
she starts to question everything.
And it's really interesting to see how her
life changes over a year, but also to see how her daughter's life
changes, because her daughter is
obviously feeding off what's happening to her. Carrie: Absolutely.
Louise: There's also some like, it's essentially a comedy based book.
But with a lot of real things in it.
Which I think real life is funny. Carrie: Yeah!
Louise: If you can't laugh you'll cry.
There we are, I can't really spoil the rest but
it's available to pre-order now and it's out June 29th.
Carrie: You've got to pre-order it! The link will be below, to go and
pre-order Louise's book. When is it out? Louise: June 29th but available to pre-order now.
We did talk about in my video, why we,
and I'm sure you do it as well,
like go "pre-order, pre-order, pre-order!" Carrie: Yes. Louise: Because a lot of people might just go
"I'll just go and buy it when it's out." But there's a reason we say that.
Carrie: Go to Louise's channel to find out why pre-orders.... Louise: Let's cheer...
... with our... picnic glasses!
I've just moved house so
I can't find my actual glasses.
So picnic glasses will do! Carrie: I like these though.
Louise: Goblets. Carrie: Yes!
Louise: The word goblet is lovely, say it. Goblet. Carrie: Goblet.
Louise: A name that I like to say in different ways is Bern-eard and Bern-ahrd.
Louise: Bern-ahrd. Carrie: Bern-ahrd. Bern-ahrd.
Louise: Although I would never want a baby Bernard.
Carrie: I prefer Bern-ahrd to Bern-eard. Louise: Bern-eard.
It reminds me of that one out of
that Richard Curtis film, 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.
Carrie: I've not seen that. Louise: Are you joking me!
Ive been swizzed again! Carrie: I haven't even opened mine yet. Louise: If you watch my video,
you will understand.
Are you...
Carrie: [Laugh] I'm so sorry! Louise: Bleeping bleeping joking!
I've been swizzed again! Carrie: I've got a bear of some kind.
Louise: No! That's lovely, show the boys and girls at home that. Carrie: We've got a little teddy bear.
Louise: That's lovely.
That's like Robin and Lyla.
Carrie: That's what they shall be named forevermore. They will sit on my dressing room desk
Louise: Really? Carrie: Yeah.
Louise: Oh, I wasn't going to keep any of your stuff. Carrie: How much I mean to you as a friend?
Louise: Absolutely nothing. Do you want to do the video?
Carrie: Yeah.
Carrie: Uh, is that it? Louise: I've given a synopsis, I've given my like ad of the book
Carrie: Yep. Louise: Please, please,
pre-order it, please! Carrie: Please buy our books.
Carrie: This has been Louise... Louise: Thank you. Carrie: ...the most wonderful,
talented, hard working, inspiring
woman that I know.
Louise: Thanks. Carrie: Just throwing that out there. Giving her some love before we go.
Louise: Thank you, I'll take it, I'll take it. Thank you! Ditto to you.
Thank you very much! I had a little gush over you earlier. Carrie: Yes, you did. Louise: Not, you know what I mean. Okay.
Louise: Thanks for watching! Carrie: Thanks! Louise: Thumbs up and subscribe!
Louise: Bye! Carrie: Bye.
